Ch. 8: Water Attacks
Colleen and the Teens stop over at Uncle's Rare Finds as he prepares the Chi-O-Matic.
"I hope you can get the Chi-O-Matic ready," Colleen says with worry, "Stacey may go after people who wronged her, including me after the hazing incident."
"Right away, Colleen," Uncle said as he puts the finishing touches on the Chi-O-Matic.
Tohru is just in the kitchen doing dishes when the sink turns on by itself. The water is overflowing more and more until it reaches the floor. This made Tohru bewildered, but he became even more shocked when the water came alive and transformed into Stacey.
"Where's the brat and her pet, Tubby?" she rudely asks.
Tohru tries to fight her with a broom, but Stacey turns into a puddle, causing Tohru to slip and fall onto Ice.
"Tohru, are you okay?" Colleen asks.
"It's Stacey! Run for it!" Tohru warns.
They were about to run when Stacey grabs Colleen by her left ankle with her tentacle hair and lifts her.
"What do you want, Stacey?!" she yells as she struggles.
"Revenge on you for costing me a whole summer after I hazed Chrissie!" she screams.
"Stacey, for the last time, I never told your mom or Chrissie's folks!"
"Well then who?!"
"I told Ma what happened, Brat!" Ice said as he got out from under Tohru, "That night after the incident, when I was emptying waste baskets, I saw the pic of Chrissie you took and realized what happened! I told Mom and she negotiated with her folks on the perfect punishment for ya!"
"You?! My own brother cost me a whole summer of fun?!"
"That's right, Sista'! And I'd do it again in a heartbeat!"
Stacey's hands turn into swords and she angrily tries to slice her brother, but he dodges her attack and runs outside to lure her from the shop. Drago tries to fire breathe on her, but she keeps regenerating herself. Stacey throws water at him, putting his fire out as he lies on the ground.
"Muir told me of your little secret, Drago," she sneers, "You have no defense against my water power, which makes getting rid of you for him all too easy!"
She turns her right arm into a sword and was about to strike when she feels a sudden jerk at her tail. She sees her mom pulling it.
"Stacey, stop this!" she shouts.
"I'm through listening to you, Mom!" she yells as she swings her mom off, "You took everything away just because you love Iggy more than me!"
"That is not true! I loved both of you! I took you with me to give you a life free of expensive stuff and being spoiled all the time."
Stacey grabs her mom and uses her as a hostage against the arriving Teens.
"Nobody moves or I'll hurt her," she threatens.
"But she's your mom!" Colleen shouts with reason.
"And a lousy one at that!"
