In the hut of the girls' hideout, Carlota and the others talk about what they found, and what exactly has been keeping them stuck in the jungle this whole time. It was a lot of information to take in, knowing that something as small as a golden skull is the main source of this jungle being a death trap, and a massive cult worshipping and serving it. At least they took it pretty well.

Fumi:"...Well, that explains a lot. But I can't believe that I've been being held back by a skull thingy. Then again, there always has been a force I've felt has been...unworldy."

Malika:"Yeah, I felt it too."

Wilma:"Same here."

Dani:"I think we've all felt at this point."

Kimberly:"Right. Well, with that in mind, taking that skull is gonna be our top priority for now on."

Carlota:"...How are we gonna do that?"

Tricia:"I don't know about the rest of you, but the last thing I want to do is head back to that temple."

Angelica:"Same here. It was a nightmare."

Kimberly:"Alright. We'll have to figure that out tomorrow. Let's all get some rest."

And with that said, they all headed back to their huts...with Carlota having to help push Fumi's big behind with her hands through their doorway. As that happened, Fumi at least tried to make up the time with a conversation.

Fumi:"(straining through the door) Ugh, so...were you scared out there?"

Carlota:"(struggling) Well...yeah, actually...to be honest, I wish you were there. Maybe next time?"

Fumi:"Hmph. Yeah, sure. You could use a little more muscle to take on those weirdos."

Carlota:"I would appreciate it. (sighs) Why didn't you ever get a bigger door?"

Fumi:"To be fair, I was actually smaller before. But since I got here, I may have gained a few pounds."

Carlota:"A few?! (groans) Well, this isn't going well."

Deciding to help out a little, Fumi braced her hands at both of the walls and began pushing herself through the doorway. After a few seconds, Carlota and Fumi were able to squeeze the big girl through, and upon doing so, Carlota fell onto the floor while Fumi wound up rolling across the room before she found herself lying upside down against the wall. As Carlota gets back up, Fumi decides to roll backward and land back on her feet. The sight of that surprised Carlota.

Carlota:"...Must be hard, trying to take care of yourself."

Fumi:"Not really. I've always had everything I've needed."

Carlota:"(looks confused) ...Did you not see what just happened?"

Fumi:"Like I said, wasn't this big before."

Hearing that made Carlota roll her eyes as they both decided to get settled in. As they both got into bed, Fumi decided to pull out a ball of cabbage out of nowhere and make a snack out of it while Carlota worked on adjusting her ponytail, having a few stray hairs put back into place.

Fumi:"So...how are you liking the jungle so far?"

Carlota:"Aside from crashing, almost getting killed by jaguars, and now discovering a cult...it's not too bad. But I honestly wonder if I'll be able to stand up to those freaks if given the chance."

Fumi:"You'll do well. I know it. And we'll definitely have to train you more."

Carlota kept that in mind as the two tucked themselves in, Fumi's brown cloth blanket just staying spread over her belly while Carlota was tucked in a beige blanket.

Carlota:"Well, goodnight Fumi."

Fumi:"Sweet dreams, Carlota."

Meanwhile, at Great Lake City Airport, Frida, Bobby, Ronnie Anne, and Lincoln were making their way through the place. And by that, I mean a very angry Frida was plowing through the crowd of people the airport was filled with while the kids were running behind her, barely able to catch up with how fast she was going.

Frida:"OUTTA THE WAY! MY DAUGHTER'S IN DANGER!"

Bobby:"(panting) I don't think...I've ever seen Tia...this determined before..."

Ronnie Anne:"(panting) ...Remind me...never to get her angry..."

Frida may have been taking it too far as she even plowed through the security checkpoint, skipping the scanning machine, barging and shocking everyone that was there. But that didn't sit too well with security.

Guard:"Hey! Get back here! You can't do that!"

The security guard soon lost his bravado when Frida came stomping back, practically shaking the entire building with every step as she angrily placed her belongings through the scanning machine and went through herself, properly this time. The kids went themselves soon after, Bobby going first, then Ronnie Anne, and then Lincoln, taking off their shoes and accessories, and placing their bags and belongings through the scanner. Soon enough, they were in the more open area of the airport with shops and restaurants. They were able to catch up with Frida, albeit now walking awkwardly behind her while she was speed-walking, determined to get to the plane already, even though they'd had plenty of time before that.

Ronnie Anne:"Tía, por favor. You have to slow down. We know how much you want to save Carlota, but this is not the place to start going crazy."

Frida:"(takes deep breath) ...You're right. I'm sorry. I just really want to see my daughter again, and I don't want anything to stop me...maybe we should get something to eat. Calm our minds."

Lincoln:"Alright, yeah! There's a burger blast around here."

Ronnie Anne:"Sounds good."

They're all seated at a square table at the corner restaurant, each enjoying a burger...except for Frida, who they all noticed now seems to lose all that determination in exchange for depression.

Ronnie Anne:"...Tia, are you okay?"

Frida:"No, Ronnie Anne, I am not."

Lincoln:"Because of Carlota?"

Frida:"I can't imagine how much danger my daughter has been put in."

Bobby:"I'm sure she is fine."

Ronnie Anne:"Our family does adept well."

Frida:"Heh. True enough."

That did help in making her feel better as they finished eating and began getting to looking for where their plane was. Unfortunately, they weren't sure where to go. So they had to ask a flight attendant.

Lincoln:"Excuse us. Where's the flight to Africa?"

Attendant:"Take the right hall, it's a short walk from here."

Lincoln:"Thanks!"

They made it to where people were waiting for boarding. And now, they were waiting impatiently, especially Frida. But as they were about to get in line, a big burly man with light brown skin, short dark brown wavy hair, and a muscular upper body wearing a flannel shirt like Bobby with a white shirt and blue jeans. He looked rather rude with a sour look in his eye, and that was something Frida wasn't gonna take lightly.

Frida:"Excuse us, sir. But you did just cut in front of us!"

Man:"Deal with it. I'm not moving from where I'm standing..."

He turned around and looked down at Frida with a glare that would make most people scared. But Frida merely scowled back.

Man:"Unless you wanna be starting something with m-"

What the man wasn't ready for was for Frida to suddenly take him and put him in an armlock. The sound of his bone not bending the right way made the kids and everyone else around cringe. Next thing to happen was Frida kicking him in the stomach and having him fall to the ground before Frida went and got to punching him across the face. The kids were terrified by what they were seeing and quickly decided to get Frida off the now horribly beaten man. Now, everyone around was keeping their distance as people soon started to board the plane.

It didn't take long for Frida and the kids to follow through and find their seats, Bobby sitting with her on the right side while Lincoln and Ronnie Anne sat together on the left side. Bobby could see that Frida was acting nervously as the plane soon closed its doors; his aunt was a bit of a nervous flyer. He knew he had to comfort her as he took her hand.

Bobby:"Tia, we will find her. I promise you that much."

Frida:"Thank you, Roberto."

Ronnie Anne:"So Lincoln, are you excited to be going to Africa?"

Lincoln:"Yes and no. I wouldn't be the craziest thing I've done."

The two shared a smile as the plane's engine began turning on and it started to take off.

The morning after, Carlota and Fumi were still asleep in their hut until Dani came in through the doorway. Since they looked to be sleeping deeply, Dani figured she needed to raise her voice a bit.

Dani:"Rise and shine, you two! We have a meeting today!"

The sound of her screaming startled them both as Fumi woke up flopping out of bed and landing on the floor. The impact shook the whole hut as Carlota followed suit and ended up landing/bouncing on Fumi as if she were a giant water balloon. Rubbing her head, Carlota was the first to get up.

Carlota:"Dani, why are you being so loud?"

Dani:"We have a meeting to get to and you guys have been sleeping almost till noon."

That shocked Carlota and she decided to help Fumi get up by giving her some light kicks that jiggled off her body. But it was enough for the sumo wrestler to get the message as she starts to get herself up.

Fumi:"Alright, alright. I'm going."

Lifting her legs up into the air, Fumi miraculously pushes herself up and flips onto her feet. And once again, does this shake up the entire hut, surprising the two smaller girls while Fumi was left unfased.

Fumi:"Let's get to it then."

But, that's when she got stuck in the doorway again as Dani and Carlota were forced to help her out, Dani by pulling at her arms outside while Carlota pushed with her back on the inside.

Carlota:"I really hope that this doesn't become a habit!"

Fumi:"Same here."

Dani:"Just keep pulling!"

And after a little bit of struggling, Fumi was able to pop through the door and...land on top of Dani while on the bridge, which thankfully stayed intact as Carlota fell on her stomach after that happened.

Dani:"(muffled speech) Okay...you're really heavy."

Fumi:"Yeah. Sorry about that."

Everyone awkwardly gets up and off of each other.

Carlota:"You guys alright.?"

Fumi:"Yeah. I'm good."

Dani:"Speak for yourself."

And with that, they all head to the main hutt where Kimberly calls the meeting into action.

Kimberly:"As we discussed before, the skull that the cult has is what is keeping us in this jungle. We need to take it so we can finally be free of this place. For that to be so, we're going to have to work on our training."

Tricia:"Sounds like a good idea."

Wilma:"Been a while since I've seen action."

Carlota:"I don't mind. But how are we gonna do it?"

Kimberly:"We're gonna be training together in pairs. And I will overlook everything you do. Those cultist freaks fight like cannibalistic savages, attacking like animals that always go for the kill. We need to be better than that, to handle anything no matter what happens."

Carlota:"I could really use that."

Kimberly:"You really think you can handle it?"

Carlota:"Depending on who my partner is, yeah."

Kimberly:"Good. 'Cause your partner just so happened to have walked in with you."

She pointed to Fumi and Carlota could see what she was getting at. At this point, Carlota could not complain as at least Fumi was nice to her and cooperative. The rest of the pairs were chosen as shown, Kate with Angelica, Tricia with Wilma, and Malika with Dani.

Kimberly:"Alright. Now with that settled, let's head out."

And so, they all head to the training grounds. Kate and Angelica were the first to go as they got to train against each other with wooden swords. Their weapons clashed against each other, at the risk of breaking with every swing. And as they did this, the girls still made enough to talk about what had been going on...especially with their newest member.

Angelica:"You think that girl, Carlota, is really cut out for this? To be like how we are?"

Kate:"I remember that we were much the same as her when we first crashed here."

Angelica:"True."

Kate:"Don't worry too much about it. She'll earn her stripes."

Angelica nodded at that. They continue to strike their swords together, and they break apart, but this gives Kate the upper hand as she manages to pin Angelica's sword down and then raises her, getting Angelica pinned. This allowed Kate to win this session as the two backed off and nodded at each other. Up next were Tricia and Wilma. Both girls are on the field and hold up their respective weapons, Tricia with a spear and Wilma with an axe.

Wilma:"(cracks her neck) Alright, Tricia. Put down the staff and no one gets hurt."

Tricia:"Ah, you said that last time, Wilma. And then, you hurt me."

Wilma:"Yeah, but…last time, I would have."

Tricia:"Yeah, right."

And then the two get to sparring. Wilma being more on the offensive, swings her axe at Tricia, who either keeps dodging or blocking, waiting for the moment to hit back. But Wilma was dodging every attack Tricia made against her, waiting on the moment herself as the next time Tricia swung her spear, she was unaware it had been snatched from her hands until she saw Wilma holding it…before breaking it in two over her knee.

Tricia:"(nervously) Should've dropped the staff?"

Wilma:"(mischievously) Should've dropped the staff."

The rest of the sparring match involved Wilma chasing Tricia around the field, the latter of the two screaming in terror until Kimberly butted in and declared Wilma the winner. Next was Malika and Dani, Malika with a club and Dani with a crossbow, who fired as rapidly as she could while Malika blocked almost every arrow coming her way, two zooming past her head.

Dani:"Be real with me, Malika. Getting that skull? Do you actually think we can take it?"

Malika:"We've been holding our own so far. We have a good chance at succeeding."

Dani nodded in agreement on that as she suddenly shot an arrow near Malika's foot. This started the girl and made her lose her balance as Dani then came in and whacked her with the back end of the crossbow against her chin. With that, the fight was over and Dani was declared the winner.

Up next...Carlota and Fumi. The Latino girl from Great Lakes had a wooden staff in her hands while the sumo girl had a nice hard wooden club. With it, she spent most of the time swinging downward at Carlota, who did her best to dodge. Carlota was quick and used the chance to get behind Fumi before jumping and wrapping her staff around the big girl in a choking sleeper hold. Fumi started moving about, trying to shake Carlota off and break her grip. With her immense strength, it didn't take long as Carlota fell back down to the ground. She quickly recovered and brought her staff back up as Fumi was about to turn around and reengage. But Carlota continued to try and stay behind Fumi, as then had a new idea. Sending one end of her staff into the ground, she tried a pole vault and launched herself on her staff, over the big girl before kicking Fumi straight in the chest.

This caused the big girl to lose her balance as Fumi then fell backward onto the hard ground. The impact made the whole area shake as the girls tried to keep their footing. But then, Fumi raises her head Carlota holding her staff like a flagpole and giving a confident smile. A smile that Fumi returned.

Fumi:"I'm impressed."

Carlota:"Thanks for helping out."

Deciding to help Fumi get back on her feet, Carlota grabbed one of her arms and started to pull, though she struggled with it a lot. But soon enough, Fumi was back on her feet and she gave a respectable bow to Carlota, as she was declared the winner.

As for Kimberly, she was training alone, with her spear, as she was spinning it around herself, deflecting arrows coming at her in every which way. She even blocked a few coming with swinging karate kicks. Taking a stance with her spear in hand, Kimberly looked around to see if anymore more arrows were coming her way. When she saw none, she took a bow. And with all their training complete, they met at the clearing.

Kimberly:"You've all done well in your training. Improved upon the skills that you have."

Carlota:"Do you really believe that we are ready, Kimberly?"

Kimberly:"Possible. But I'm not sure if we've witnessed everything that the cult has to show us."

Fumi:"Well, if we see them, we'll be ready to take them on."

Wilma and Angelica roll their eyes in annoyance.

Wilma:"She just wants to show off."

Angelica:"Yep."

Fumi heard that and bumped her elbow into both of them. But then, Kimberly spoke again.

Kimberly:"First, we're gonna need someone to scout their temple. To monitor the movements of those freaks while they're worshipping that skull of theirs. Fumi, Carlota, Dani. Are you all up for it?"

Fumi:"You know it."

Carlota:"I am ready for this!"

Dani:"Of course."

Kimberly:"Very well. You have your objective. Good luck and be careful."

And with that, all three girls headed off into the jungle and towards the temple of the cult.
