At the Barren Bog, Colonel Calloway had his cadets lined up in front of him as he begun his speech.
"Today's hike will take us through swampy terrain." He said. Stay close, men, as we use our survival skills to cross this bog."
"Yes, sir!" Tuck said. With that, the Colonel turned around, walking into the swamp, the cadets right behind him. As Tuck followed, though, he fell into a puddle. He turned to the other cadets (minus Baxter). "The first skill is in ditching the Colonel." He said. "& finding a dry way out of this swamp."
"Affirmative." Jamal replied. Later on, once the cadets caught up with the Colonel, they came to a fork in the path. Colonel Calloway took the path leading straight ahead, with Baxter right behind him. Tuck & the others however, went down the path leading to the right, the first part of their "survival skills" complete. Miguelle was looking at a map.
"These field trips are a real drag." He complained.
"& dumb too." Grunt replied. Meanwhile, Luigi, Mario, Toad, the Professor, & the Grimwood Girls had reached the swamp. Tanice turned to Luigi.
"What do we do now, coach?" She asked. Luigi looked down at her, confused, putting his finger to his mouth.
"Um, uhh." He stammered, trying to think of some sports. He looked up in a thinking manner. "Er, uh." His face then lights up as he gets an idea. He looks down at the girls, pointing to the bog. "How about we take a quick-a jog through the bog." With that, he starting running into the bog. Mario, Professor E. Gadd, & Toad however, looked at him confused. Toad stood up on his tippy toes & leaned over to Mario, covering his hand with his mouth.
"Hey, Mario." He whispered into Mario's ear. "Is it just me, or is Luigi making this field trip up as he goes along?" Mario leaned over to Toad & covered his hand with his mouth.
"It's-a not you, Toad." Mario whispered. "I noticed that too. I wonder why he bothered to come-a here without thinking things through." The Grimwood Girls however, weren't noticing. They were excited to be at the bog.
"Great, I got plenty of energy." Elsa said, running after Luigi.
"Wait for me, Elsa!" Tanice called, running close behind.
"& don't forget us!" Winnie called, running after them, along with the rest of the girls. Mario, Toad, & Prof. E. Gadd looked at the departing group, the at each other. After a while, they simply shrugged & jogged after the group. Winnie turned to Sybella.
"Aaoooooo, race you across the bog, Sybella." She said, looking forward & running ahead.
"Then I think I'll stretch my wings instead of my legs." Sybella said, turning into a bat. She then flew right past Winnie, who looked up at her, annoyed.
"Aww, no fair, Sybella!" Winnie shouted. "We're supposed to be jogging, not jetting." However, while she was talking,a green vine stretched out, tripping Winnie, causing her to fall. Also, before she could get up, the vine wrapped around her ankle.
"Gotcha." Came the Creeper's voice, as he then slithered into view. Winnie turned her head, seeing him. She rolled onto her back.
"Boy, have you got the wrong girl." Winnie said. "Aaaoooooooo!" She howled, standing up. "Hi-yah!" She shouted, karate chopping the Creeper's vine off her ankle.
"Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooooooohh." The Creeper whimpered, nursing his vine. Winnie was feeling pretty good about herself at that moment, but she soon gasped when she saw an angry Creeper now staring at her.
"Rrrrrrr." He growled. "You can't escape the Grim Creeper." Winnie regained her smile.
"Then I guess you've never chased a werewolf before, Creepy." Winnie said. The Creeper then dove at her, causing her to turn tail & run, causing the Creeper, to fall flat on his face. Winnie soon came upon a wooden shack with an open door & a window. "This looks like a great place to hide." She said. She immediately ran inside & closed the door behind her. She peeked out the window, seeing the Grim Creeper going the other way. "Aaaooooooooooo!" She howled. "I give him the slip." However, she then heard what sounded like bats chirping & turned to the source. What she saw made her gasp. 2 spider bats descended upon Winnie & weaved headphones made of silk onto her head. Once they were done, the headphones began sparkling with Revolta's evil magic, placing Winnie under a hypnotic spell.
"You will now obey only Revolta." Revolta's voice said through the headphones. Winnie listened to every word, & followed along.
"I will obey only Revolta." Winnie repeated, under Revolta's hypnotic command. "Only Revolta." The Creeper walked into the shack & looked at Winnie with pride. He then looked back out the door.
"1 down, 4 to go." He said. "He he he he he he he he heeeeee!!"
