"Hey, baby...what do you want to do today? Sabrina says we have a few hours before the big job goes down." Darkly Bent was fully under the spell of the Swill and desperately wanted to please Jugger and Sabrina. Jugger had a few reservations. Deep inside, Jughead Jones was still in there resisting. The Whyte Wyrm Swill dosage he had received thus far had not yet completely clouded his judgment. Yet every flirty glance from Darkly Bent began to convince Jugger to fully commit to this new alter persona.

"Darkly...I am still new to all this...but...the power...it is quite intoxicating I have to admit. I don't feel like a weirdo anymore."

"Wouldn'tcha like to get revenge on all those Riverdale bullies that shoved you around and called you a freak?--Those Bulldogs are scum! That Reggie Mantle needs his toned tuchus beat if you ask me. He's got nothing on you, babe."

"I don't know...I mean..."

"Come on, Jugger...for meeee?" Darkly Bent wrapped her leather arms around his waist and rubbed up and down against him like a nuzzling kitten.

Hesitating only a moment, Jughead relented. "Okay. Let's do it."

Darkly Bent squealed in delight. That was easier than convincing him to write for 'The Blue and Gold.'

Archie and Veronica desperately wanted to find out what happened to Jughead. Betty was missing too as far as they were concerned--and in a way she was. Kevin somehow managed to get a small sample of Whyte Wyrm Swill for the new team to analyze. Kevin whispered. "My source, who wants to remain anonymous, says that this Whyte Wyrm Swill is basically like ten times worse than the latest opioid out there. You don't want it in your body--that's for sure." Everyone assumed it was somehow from Joaquin, but no one wanted to say anything to Kevin for obvious reasons. "My dad would KILL me if he knew you guys had some Swill on you and that I was the one holding...so PLEASE keep it out of plain view!" Kevin was paranoid all over again. "I didn't even want to touch the vial..."

"Relax, Kev...ok?" Veronica reassured. "Archie and I won't let it out of our sight. All we are going to do is take it to Professor Flutesnoot, have him do a chemical analysis of it, and he and Dilton Doiley will let us know if a vaccine or anti-swill or whatever can be created to make sure we get this epidemic under control. We won't tell them what it is or where we got it--we promise."

"Okay. I trust you guys."

"Thanks, Kevin. You have been a real help."

"No problem, Archie...but officially I was never here." Kevin gave a good luck pat on Archie's shoulder and walked away.

Darkly Bent and The Jugger's Southside motorcycle roared down the main street of Riverdale and ended up at the entrance to where the Bulldogs were holding football practice. Chains on their tires dug into the pavement and were about to do even more damage to the green fields the team ran across doing their drills.

"Phase One. Terrify." Jugger smiled an evil smile and wiped his nose looking back at his muse. Driving onto the football field, the revved up bike tore into the greenery leaving patches of ugly brown dirt in its wake. The chains dug in deep and the football players on the field ran for cover.

Darkly cackled with glee and took off her leather jacket for the crowd. Waving it around like an unofficial Southside Serpents flag, she stood up on the bike seat and made sure Reggie saw her clearly. Mocking a cheerleader cheer, she cupped her hand to increase her volume. "Regg--ie Man--tle" (clap--clap--clap-clap-clap) "Regg--ie Man--tle"(clap--clap--clap-clap-clap) "There he goes, Jugger. I betcha 2...no 3 burgers you can't run him down!"

"Challenge accepted." Jughead spotted Reggie running trying to get off the field. There was something satisfying about being on the giving end of the bullying instead of receiving. He revved the bike harder as the grassy field began to offer resistance. "Come on, you hunk of junk...get a move on."

Reggie threw down his helmet and put every ounce of strength into outrunning the approaching duo. Onlookers in the stands began to question and live-stream the situation. 'Is that Jughead Jones? Is that Betty Cooper with him?'

Realizing she was being recognized, a hint of shame hit Betty as she began to hyperventilate a little. "Uh...Jug...Phase One is complete. We terrified him."

"Come on, Betty, we're just getting started..."

Betty had to come up with an excuse. "Jugger..uh..Sabrina's gonna be pretty upset if her two best Serpents are plastered all over social media right before the big job."

"But this was your idea..."

"How was I supposed to know there'd be so many losers at a high school football practice. Now, come on, baby. We gotta get out of here while the bike still has tread left--or the next 'Blue and Gold' story might just be about US." Jugger hesitated as he looked into the eyes of the cornered Reggie. "I'll make it worth your while." Darkly had her hooks in him.

As they showed Reggie and the field mercy by speeding off in the opposite direction, Jughead couldn't help but scream "THE JUGGER WUZ HERE!" Betty threw her head back with excitement knowing that her partner was completely ready for what Sabrina had planned for them.

Reggie caught his breath as his teammates rallied around him wondering what just happened. "The Jugger?" Reggie questioned under his breath. "I'll kill him."
