The scene opens up with both Anne and Sprig having fun with a splash war with the crystal clear water they reside in while laughing up a storm. However, Sprig came to notice a sign by the Lake's shore labeling a warning that seemed to be written in a font from a horror film with the correct red coloring to match. The sign depicted that there was some kind of monster that was within the lake's waters. This sudden shift of Sprig's demeanor was enough to result in Anne stopping the splash war as she wondered what had Sprig so spooked. "Hey, is everything okay Sprig?" Anne questioned before her spider-sense was quick to alert her to what was the problem as she grabbed Sprig and dodged the attack from the Eel within the waters as it tried to pounce on its prey.
Though, this attempt had failed before it glared at the two with anger as it raised its massive serpent body from the waters. It hissed while it released a very toxic gas from its mouth as Sprig realized what was the monster before them. "This Is Jörmungandr's hunting grounds! We need to get out of here fast!" Sprig shouted as Jörmungandr roared in fury, dispersing deadly toxins towards them both. The Magenta Frog was able to handle the toxin thanks to his Amphibian heritage though he should have expected Anne would have been another story as he saw Anne barely able to withstand the toxin that the Eel created. he worked fast to move Anne out of the area while thinking fast about how to divert the eel from them both. Sprig began to hop Anne over to their campsite on the shoreline. He managed to find a large water insect that could possibly distract Jörmungandr long enough to form a plan against the Eel. Sprig picked up a small stone and chucked it towards the insect to draw its attention towards him as he sped through the insect. The Eel attacked the insect in its attempts to capture Sprig and Anne.
Anne was coughing a bit due to the toxin she had inhaled, but thankfully her minor healing factor was able to hold it off for a bit. "Any ideas to deal with that thing? We can't just leave the eel here to continue on. It could attack someone else." She declared with determination despite the poison that plagued her body.
Sprig was surprised to hear this from her, but he couldn't argue with her. Jörmungandr was indeed an incredible danger and made it harder for Wartwoods to obtain food since it took the lake as its hunting grounds. The town used to fish here regularly as the aquatic life was quite nutritious for the townsfolk. Yet, how could they bring the Eel down? Jörmungandr wasn't just incredibly poisonous, but extremely large with a tough hide to match. Barely anything being able to hurt it due to the hide it possessed. Though an idea sparked in the young frog's mind as did remember that he packed a set of chili peppers dubbed Pain Peppers. Named because they were so spicy that they would make you wish that you were dead, as people said. If they could hurt it from the outside, then they'll take it on from the inside. But not like morons typically do as they believed if the hide was thick on the outside, the inside must be so much easier to cut through. This idiotic idea did lead to a lot of deaths from the others within Wartwoods since they don't often think things through.
"Anne, I have a Plan! … Or just twelve percent of it, but I know it will work." Sprig declared with confidence as Anne was just concerned about whatever this 'plan' was. "I hope you realize that is barely even a concept, Sprig." She announced as Sprig managed to grab the peppers as the Spider Heroine realized what the frog teen had in mind. Together, the two headed back into the lake to set up their trap to take down Jörmungandr. Though the eel was far more clever than they gave it credit for as it waited for them beneath the waters for its moment to strike. Once Sprig landed on one of the many lily pads upon the lake, Jörmungandr used its tails to flip the pad up into the air and causing him to nearly drop the pain peppers.
Anne was thankfully fast to react as she jumped to save the peppers. With the peppers in hand, she attempted to use her web-shooters to bind the eel down. However, Anne began to realize that she completely forgot them as Jörmungandr loomed over her. Snarling in a way that almost seemed like it was mocking her for the carelessness of her actions. Sprig was frightened now as he worried that Anne may not be able to handle any more of the eel's toxin as it began to ready its poison breath.
Yet all of them were shocked to hear the rumble of an engine, one very familiar to Anne as a muscle car slammed itself into Jörmungandr with hellfire. On the shores of the lake, Sprig and Anne saw a demonic entity dressed in a black and white racer outfit, as its metallic skull was engulfed in the same Hellfire as the demonic charger that was able to stand on top of the lake's waters without effort. Next to the demon was a young Hispanic teen resting in a wheelchair, waving hello to Anne and her friend. "Ok… I sure as hell wasn't expecting Robbie to be here." Anne announced as she coughed a bit more due to the poison that infected her.
To render a long story short, thanks to the arrival of Robbie Reyes and his younger brother Gabe. Jörmungandr was quickly defeated as The Ghost Rider used his fire to purge the poison within Anne's system. "Glad we made it here in time, Anne. We're also glad to see that we weren't the only ones sent to this weird swamp world." Gabe announced as Robbie reverted to normal as Sprig was a bit weirded out by him. Robbie gave the magenta frog a glance with a raised eyebrow as if to say nonverbally 'what are you looking at?' Yet, the teenaged frog was more curious about The Ghost Rider and his abilities than scared. Though Robbie wasn't fond of the series of questions that came from Sprig as the three all shared a laugh at this comedic spectacle.
[Narrator: Back at The Planter's Estate with Hopps yelling]
"And to top this all off, you went behind my back and I now need to house two more humans!? Seriously! My house isn't some hotel for you guys…" Hopps finished off with a sigh of frustration. "Though, I would feel like an absolute jerk if I forced a young lad stuck in a wheelchair out in the wild. Guess you two can stay in exchange if you help around the house and farm." The Elderly Frog bargained with folded arms as the two brothers were quick to agree to these terms.
"I prefer keeping myself busy anyway, Mr. Planter." Robbie stated as he took off his jacket and gloves, "If you like, I can do some renovations around the house to improve the living space." He added on while hanging up his jacket onto the coat rack. After all, Robbie worked as a car repairman and couldn't leave his hands out of work. "Come on bro. Take time to relax for once." Gabe announced with a kind smile before Polly ruined the moment with a warcry and tossing a small rock at the group of humans… Though her aim was absolutely terrible as she threw it at the couch she was on.
"This isn't my fault… Someone put a couch in my way…" Polly announced with a dumbfounded expression on her face as everyone burst out laughing at Polly's failed attempt to attack at her dismay.
Tyrik: [Walks onto the stage while clearing my throat] I would like to take the time to explain why I decided to bring in The Reyes Brothers early. To simply put it, Gabe is literally paralyzed from the waist down and is in a wheelchair. I really don't think he should be out in the open for a long period alongside his brother Robbie... Don't worry though. I Promise to make use of their presence the best I can in one way or another. I hope you enjoyed today's chapter and come back for more. Peace Out!
