Riley picked up the stuffed lion, and exited the fair. He went in his car and drove down the street. He knew he would have to patch things up with Cindy. But the thing was, Riley didn't know if he could. Cindy was a hard egg to crack, and she wasn't easy to persuade. He was now driving towards the hill.

Meanwhile at the hill…

Ming walked up to the top of the hill. She stood in front of the tree.

"Alright Tree! Talk to me!" She shouted. The tree leaned down a little.

"Stop sending Riley's life down the toilet! He doesn't deserve it!"

"Tough titty." The tree said.

"Hey! Watch your language!"

"Aw cut the crap! Bring on the meat!"

"No way!" Ming yelled.

"FEED ME!"

"Under no circumstances." Ming said sternly.

"Perhaps I could feed myself." The tree said with a grin. Ming took a step back.

"Wait a minute! Let's think about this!" Ming said.

Meanwhile Riley was parking the car next to the hill. He looked up, horrified to see the tree about to attack Ming. Riley quickly got out of the car.

"MING! NO!" Riley yelled as he ran up the hill. The tree swooped down and grabbed Ming with its teeth. Riley ran up there and grabbed Ming's flailing legs.

"GET OFF OF HER! LEAVE HER ALONE!" Riley yelled. He kept pulling and pulling, and soon the tree let go. Riley carried her a little ways down the hill.

"Ming, are you alright?" Riley asked.

"Yes!...no." she answered collapsing on the ground. There were stab wounds in her stomach.

"You know, the tree said the strangest thing to me. He said Butch and Wuncler were already inside." Ming said softly.

"It's true. I fed them to it."

"Riley… I have a confession to make. I work for BET." Ming said to Riley's shock.

"No. it can't be!" Riley shouted.

"It is. My job was to tear you away from Cindy, to break apart your family. At first I was doing it, but then I got to know you a little better. Then I heard that you really did kill Butch. I didn't believe it until you told me. I didn't know you had it in you. So then, I started to fall in love with you." Ming explained.

"Aw Ming. I've done terrible things, but neva to you."

"But I want you to."

"What?" asked Riley, confused.

"When I die, which should be very shortly, I want you to feed me to the tree. So then you can get rich, and famous. And when I am fed to the tree, I will become part of the tree. So that in away…we'll always be together." Ming softly said while smiling. A tear rolled down her cheek. She closed her eyes and became lifeless. Riley sobbed, hugging the lifeless body. He then looked at the tree, and decided to fulfill her last wish. He lifted her up, and slowly walked towards the tree. The tree leaned down. Riley walked all the way up to the tree, and lifted the body up. The tree slowly wrapped its tentacles around it. They carried it all the way to the mouth, where it gently dropped in. Riley turned away, and walked back to his car. He decided to drive back to the house. He couldn't stop thinking about Ming dying. Maybe he shouldn't have fed her to the tree, and just give her a proper burial. But it was the way she wanted to go. Riley kept driving and slammed hard on the breaks when he laid eyes on the house.

The house's front was ripped open, as if something went through it. As Riley got out of the car, he looked inside. There was bullet holes and gunfire all over. Walls were split apart, and wooden supports were exposed. He quickly ran inside. Robert was on the ground, moning.

"Riley… Cindy…upstairs…the kids…" Robert said. Riley quickly ran up stairs, where the babies room was torn apart, with Cindy lying on the floor.

"Riley…BET. They took the kids…" Cindy said. Riley was scared, but he knew he had to set things right.

"Cindy… I didn't kiss Ming. She kissed Me!" Riley explained. Cindy looked away.

"I'm so sorry for putting you through all that. You know I would neva do anything to hurt ya. I love you." Riley said. Cindy said nothing, but smiled. Riley helped her up to her feet. She had trouble standing.

"Come on C-merph, walk it off." Riley said holding on to her. He helped her down the stairs. Riley then ran over to Robert and helped him up.

"Granddad, do you think you are okay enough to walk?" asked Riley.

"I think so, yeah, I can shake this off." Robert said walking.

"Okay. I know where to go. We are going to the tree. I am going to bust that Trunk of his wide open!" Riley stated. The three of them got into the car. Riley started to drive.

"Reezy, how do you know if you will kill the tree, we will find the babies?" Asked Cindy.

"Cuz den they will come afta us." Riley said. Hey soon reached the tree, which was larger than ever, and had a crowd looking at it. The tree's roots hung halfway down the hill. Riley and Cindy got out of the car.

"Granddad, There is a gun unda the seat. Drive to Ed's house, he'll look afta you." Riley said, grabbing his katana that walt gave him.

"And If I don't come back, I love you Granddad." Riley said.

"I love you too, boy." Robert said driving away. Riley walked up the hill, helping Cindy walk up there as well. They reached to top, and Riley looked at what everybody was looking at. The fruits were now bloomed open. Hanging upside down were the bodies of Wuncler and Butch, but Butch looked disfigured since he was cut up. The pod where Ming was supposed to be was empty, and Riley noticed foot prints and drag marks under it.

"Alright tree! I know of your plan! You were here to break up my family!" Riley yelled. The tree leaned down, and the people back away, but when they saw the branches move apart revealing the mouth, they screamed.

"Noooooo shit! Shelock." The tree replied. Some of the people fainted.

"It can talk?" asked Cindy.

"Believe it baby! It talks!" The tree answered.

"I'm here to put a stop to it!" Yelled Riley running and stabbing the tree. The tree grunted in pain as Riley pulled the blade out. He ground started to shake. The roots exploded from the ground, and soon the tree was completely in the air, towering many feet above. There was dirt everywhere. The tree hit Riley with a root, and knocked him to the bottom of the hill. Cindy watched in horror as the tree rampaged on into the streets, obliterating anything that got into its path.

Moments later…

"Riley! Riley!" Cindy yelled. Riley got up and rubbed his head. Once Riley completely opened his eyes, he saw smoldering remains all the way down the road. Riley and Cindy walked up to the top of the hill to see a deep hole.

"See that C-merph?" that's where they took care of the tree. I know they're down there." Riley said getting closer it.

"Are you suggesting we jump down there?" Asked Cindy, concerned.

"It's the only way." Riley said. Cindy nodded. The two of them neared the hole and looked down. Riley had his arm around Cindy. They nodded at each other, and then took a step down. They let go of each other as soon as they began to fall. Riley quickly realized that the hole was much deeper then he thought. Cindy screamed loudly and flailed her limbs. As they were falling, Riley went over and grabbed Cindy, and turned her so She was on top of him. Cindy continued to scream, as Riley was about to brace herself for what happened next. They hit the metal floor with hard force. Cindy was unharmed, and got off of Riley. Riley screamed in pain, but got up, miraculously. He was rubbing his back. Riley and Cindy looked around. It was a darkened room.

"I got to hand it to you two, I didn't think you would make it this far." A voice said. Coming out of the shadows, it was Michael Caesar.

"Ceez! It can't be! Your building! It blew up! How did you survive?" asked Riley.

"As the ceiling collapsed above me, I stepped on a button under my desk. I slid down a slide and went into a rocket car. I sped away pretty quickly. I didn't think you would blow up my building."

Yeah well, you deserved it! Now give us our kids back!" Riley demanded. Caesar snapped his fingers, and a henchman came in carrying the kids. They were crying. Riley growled in anger.

"I'll give them back to you, Riley. On one condition. You give me Cindy." Caesar said causing Cindy to gasp.

"Cindy will never go with you, creep!" Riley yelled back. Cindy walked forward.

"Cindy?" Riley asked. She went over to Caesar.

"Riley, I'll be fine. Go take the kids. Take care of them." Said Cindy. Riley was shocked. Cindy winked at Riley. Riley then played along.

"Cindy! How could you!" Riley yelled melodramatically.

"The lady has made her choice Riley." Caesar said. Cindy quickly elbowed Caesar in the stomach, and quickly snatched Chuck and Marty from the henchman. Caesar and then henchman ran over to the door way of the circular room they were in and pressed a button. Riley, Cindy, and the babies were engulfed in a cage. Caesar pressed another button, and two long mechanical hands reached down from above and grabbed hold of the babies. Cindy and Riley used all their might to pull them back, but the arms were too strong.

"NOOOO!" they yelled as the arms carried the babies up into the darkness.

"Well well well. Now it looks like I will have to send you down the bottomless pit." Caesar said.

"It couldn't really be bottomless!" Riley yelled.

"Are you willing to take that chance?" Asked Caesar as he pushed a third button.

"C-merph, grab the bottom of the cage!" Riley quickly yelled. The two of them did just that as the floor dropped beneath them. Caesar walked away.

"Okay Cindy, now we just have to climb up to the top. Whatever you do, don't look down!" Riley told her. The two of them began to make their way up. Cindy looked down and screamed, while holding on to the bars.

"Cindy, come on! You can do it!" Riley said. Cindy summoned up the courage and followed Riley. They kept climbing and climbing until they reached a ledge. Riley came up first, and helped Cindy up. Cindy Tightly hugged Riley, while whimpering.

"It's okay Cindy. It's all over. Don't worry, we'll find them."
