Driving across the African Outback to a remote jungle took a lot more time than what they accounted for. But Frida and the kids still made good time as they were not too far now from their destination and Frida was more determined than ever to see her daughter back safely in her arms. All the while, the three kids that were with her were wondering what they'd encounter once they reached the jungle and how they're gonna find Carlota.

Lincoln:"Do we have plan, or are we just gonna wing it here? Speaking of winging it, are we sure that Carlota's really okay? She's pretty dainty."

Ronnie Anne:"She may just be a girl who focuses on her looks, but she knows how to adapt. She can handle a dangerous situation when it counts."

Frida:"She shouldn't have to handle a dangerous situation in the first place! I should've never agreed to send her overseas! ¡Mi hermosa niña podría estar muerta, por lo que sabemos!"

Bobby:"Tia, por favor, calm down! That's never gonna happen! We will find her and we will save her! We swear it."

That warmed Frida's heart as they made their way to the jungle.


Speaking of which, Carlota and the other girls had been running through the jungle with the artifact in hand as they tried to make their way back to Camp without the cultists following them all the way.

Unfortunately, they haven't been able to shake them yet.

While the girls were able to get a good way ahead of them, the cult was still biting at their heels as they continued through the nearly endless jungle, looking for someplace to hide until they could lose the painted, skull-worshipping freaks. It took nearly exhausting themselves, but the girls were finally able to shake the cultists by hiding in some of the taller shrubbery.

Kimberly:"Finally. Now we can head back and figure out how to break the barrier around this place."

And with that, they headed back to camp, safe and sound for now, but exhausted after all the work they did to get the skull. They caught their breaths underneath their tree huts.

Carlota:"Welp, after running all around this freaking jungle, it's safe to say that there's no ladylike way to walk without shoes here."

Kimberly:"Well, we won't have to keep doing that for now. With this, we're one step to getting out of here! I almost can't believe it."

Fumi:"We're finally getting our lives back."

Carlota:"You know, I'm a little curious as to what you guys' lives were like outside of this place."

Tricia:"I used to be a fashion designer."

Malika:"Zoologist."

Wilma:"I was a cook."

Jane:"I was an athlete who could've gone to the Olympics if I hadn't crashed here."

Angelica:"Same here. Except I was a singer."

Dani:"I had a job as a machinist."

Kimberly:"And I just had a normal life with my family. I want to get back that."

Carlota:"Alright. So why don't we just destroy the skull and get out of here?"

Fumi:"Way ahead of you!"

The girls turned to see the sumo wrestler girl holding a big stone axe, which she raised up high and swung down on the skull. However, it didn't work; for the axe's blade practically exploded and pushed Fumi back and made the girls shield their faces from any of the flying chunks.

Carlota:"What the-?! Why didn't that work?"

That is when Kimberly takes the skull in her hands and senses something from it, realizing that the power of the relic that the cultists seem to worship was very much real.

Kimberly:"This skull seems to be embedded with dark magic. It can't be destroyed with any normal method. It has to be cast into molten lava to be rid of permanently."

Carlota:"(shudders) Where are we gonna find lava around here? Is there a volcano?"

Dani:"Actually, yes. Just outside the barrier. A river trail of lava flows into this place at the far end of the jungle."

Angelica:"We need to head there now before things get worse!"

Wilma:"How can things possibly get any worse?"

And then, after she said that, a flaming arrow launched itself into one of the trees, which fortunately didn't catch fire. They look to see that they have been found by the cult now coming at them in a horde.

Jane:"That's how."

Carlota:"Let's get to that lava trail before it's too late!"

And with that, the girls run for their lives. The continues to dodge spears and arrows while the cultists were on their tails. They had to get to the lava river in order to destroy the skull and end this nightmare once and for all. However, the jungle itself did not seem to be making things easier for the girls as trees were falling, fires from the arrows were spreading and the were trying their best not to get lost in this nature filled maze.

But pretty soon, they wound up with their path blocked by a giant wooden trunk, and they were unable to climb over it in time as spears were thrown by and kept them in place. The cult closed in on them, barely 5 feet away as their Leader appeared, not looking the least bit happy.

Cult Leader:"Watukanaji! Wezi! Hutadharau asili ya ardhi yetu takatifu! Return the skull to me at once!"

Out of options, Kimberly stupidly hid the skull behind her back and gave a nervous smile.

Kimberly:"What skull?"

The cultists let out a war cry before charging at the girls. They braced themselves, fearing that this may be it. However, that is when a 4x4 came from the side and rammed right into some of cultists, killing them and splattering some blood across the ground. The cult leader was shocked by this and saw that the 4x4 still driving around, which forced his remaining men to fall back.

As for the girls, they were surprised by their sudden saviors, but none more-so than Carlotta when she saw who came out of the car.

Carlotta:"...Mom?!"

Indeed. Coming out of the driver seat was Frida. And the moment she found her daughter was a moment of overjoyed happiness.

Frida:"Mi Hija! Carlotta, estás aquí!"

The two ran towards each other and happily embraced one another in a hug. They were crying tears of joy.

Carlotta:"Mom...you found me!"

Frida:"You can't imagine how happy I am to have been able to..."

As touching as this moment was, Frida broke it off.

Frida:"I would love to catch up, Hija, but I suggest we get out of here, right now!"

Carlotta:"I would love to, Mom, but we still have a job to do."

That is when she shows everyone the skull.

Carlotta:"We have to destroy this. It's the only thing keeping is trapped in this place."

The four, Frida and the kids, were weirded out by the sight of the skull, but after a brief explanation, it all made sense. Ronnie Anne also got acquainted with the other girls. She was especially excited to be working with Fumi.

Ronnie Anne:"This is pretty exciting. We have a sumo wrestler on our team! (To Carlotta) How did you meet her?"

Carlotta:"She and the others helped me survive out here."

Ronnie Anne:"Wow. That's so cool! I think Sumo Wrestlers are the best!"

Fumi:"Hey, if you try pumping yourself up a bit, kid, you might get to be one some day."

Ronnie Anne was flattered by that, but the others wer raising eyebrows at her enthusiasm.

Carlotta:"Do you actually want to be fat, cousin?"

Ronnie Anne:"(snaps) No!..."

Carlotta could tell that she was thinking about it and rolls her eyes at her little cousin.

Lincoln:"Uh...Shouldn't we get to getting out of here?"

Kimberly:"Still need to destroy the skull, kid."

Carlotta:"Right. We need to get to the lava flow. But we'll have to cross this log as quickly as possible."

Bobby:"I'm on it!"

With a war cry, Bobby tries ramming the 4x4 into the log, in an attempt to try and crash right through it...but all he did was crash, smashing right into the front of the tree trunk and crushing the front end of the car. Fortunately, he wasn't hurt, but the others gave him a look before resorting to climbing to the other side and continuing on their way. Eventually, they soon make it to the edge of the jungle barrier, where the lava was seen flowing a river through it, shown to be a car wide, and about 6 to 10 feet below them. The ground was dry and hard and there was little plant life around the river.

They carefully approached the flow as Carlota held the skull in her arms.

Tricia:"I wonder how deep the river goes."

Carlota:"Does it matter?"

She slowly and carefully walked over to the high edge, where the lava was just below her feet. And she slowly stretches out her arms with the skull in hand, about to drop it into the lava.

Carlota:"Finally. This can be done and I can go home."

But that is when they heard some grunting and rustling from the trees and they all turned to see the cultists appearing out of the jungle, their leader looked furious.

Cult Leader:"GET ME THE SKULL!"

The cultists were soon to advance and the group readied themselves for the fight of their lives, brandishing weapons in their hands. Frida stands by her daughter, who still has the skull in her hands, looking fearful.

Carlota:"Mom! You have to get out of here!"

Frida:"I'm not leaving after I just got you back!"

Kimberyl:"(walks to them) And I'm standing with you as well. Everybody, split up!"

And with that, most of them broke off into duos or trios, all while Kimberly, Carlota, and Frida were about to face the Cult Leader.

Frida:"We can do this together! I will not let anything happen to my daughter."

An arrow flew past her head, soon after she said that. Carlota saw that her mother seemed to be scared stiff after that near-death experience.

Frida:":("

Carlota:"(sighs) Let's just get on with it."

The first to be seen fighting were Malika, Tricia, and Kate, the first who found Carlota in the Jungle. Malika and Tricia were using spears to repel and stab away at cultists while Kate used a club to bash them away. But they were surrounding them on all sides, pushing the girls to their limits.

Malika:"I've had it with the crazy jungle cultist, in this crazy cultist hoarding jungle!"

Tricia:"Uh...ditto!"

Kate:"(knocking another cultist away) Guys! Little problem!"

They continued to fight back and seemed to be winning, Tricia even putting one of them in a stranglehold with her spear, tightening it before breaking her weapon in half, knocking the cultist out.

Malika:"Nice move."

Tricia:"Thanks. I learned it from a video game."

Malika:"After they had been trapped in the jungle for so long?"

Tricia:"How do you think I've survived out here for that long?"

Both her friends were impressed. Meanwhile, Fumi and Ronnie Anne were working together, Rocket and Groot style, with Ronnie Anne sitting over Fumi's shoulders as the female sumo wrestler was taking on cultists with her bare hands while Ronnie Anne had a long wooden spear of her own, whacking and stabbing cultists from a safe distance. But when several more were still coming, Ronnie Anne got an idea.

Ronnie Anne:"Yo, Fumi! Launch me!"

Hearing that made Fumi realize what the kid had in mind as she watched Ronnie Anne jump from her shoulders and onto Fumi's belly. However, Ronnie Anne wound up getting sucked into her gut rather than bouncing off.

Ronnie Anne:"(muffled) I didn't think that through."

Sighing, Fumi clenched her belly, wanting it to pop out until Ronnie Anne was sent flying while she held up her long stick horizontally, taking down several cultists with it. After they were downed, Ronnie Anne looked to see Fumi give her a respectful smirk.

Fumi:"Nice move, kid."

Ronnie Anne:"(chuckles) Much appreciated."

Meanwhile, Angelica, Wilma, and Dani were all fighting with wooden clubs, smashing them against the heads of the cultists. They were fairing pretty well and even seemed to be enjoying themselves at the moment.

Dani:"This is kind of fun."

Wilma:"I know, right? WAAHH!"

Suddenly, however, Wilma was taken from behind by one of the cultists putting her in a sleeper hold. But before Dani and Angelica could intervene, Wilma quickly started bashing herself away from the cultists, elbowing him relentlessly and smashing the back of her head into his face. When he was dazed, she tossed him over herself, sending him to the ground unconscious. Both of her friends looked a bit shocked by how ruthless and brutal she acted.

Angelica:"Holy crud...!"

Wilma:"What can I say? I got lots of steam to blow off."

Moving on to Lincoln and Bobby, they were actually fighting pretty well, defending themselves side by side. Before he abandoned it, Bobby found a Sten Mk. II submachine gun in the 4x4 and was used to blast away the cultists without any relent. He and Lincoln moved around in a circle to defend themselves, Lincoln swinging a wooden spear like a baseball bat while Bobby shot at cultists from a distance while any who got too close, he would bludgeon with the back of the submachine gun. But they still kept coming as Bobby spoke between shots fired

Bobby:"(while shooting) I. Really. Hate. Jungle freaks!"

Lincoln:"I think the feeling's mutual!"

Lincoln then stabs a cult member and tosses it against another cult that was cornering Bobby, knocking them both out.

Lincoln:"Come on! Let's go help the others!"

Back to Carlota, Frida, and Kimberly, they were facing off against the Cult Leader, who armed himself with a spear of his own and had two knives by his loincloth. Carlota brought out a wooden club, Kimberly had a stone axe while Frida...picked up a pair of rocks. The girls saw this and were confused by her choice of weapon.

Frida:"Don't give me that look. You try finding something to fight with around here!"

Carlota:"But, Mom, how are those things gonna-?"

Frida:"(WAR CRY)"

The cult leader was caught off guard when the middle-aged city artist housewife jumped on him and started bashing his head with both rocks in her fists. He fell to the ground and the girls stared in awe at the beatdown Carlota's mother was giving this guy for at least a minute. That was until the Cult Leader managed to throw her off, recover miraculously quickly, and turn his attention back to the girls, who readied themselves as he came in charging. They charged back and their weapons clashed, with the girls knocking his spear out of hand and forcing him to switch to his knives. The Cult Leader was an agile fighter, ruthless and dangerous, but Carlota and Kimberly held their own fairly well against them as the former kept a tight grip on the golden skull under her arm. Their fighting distracted the leader as Frida recovered and saw her daughter battling against that madman. Kimberly was able to knock out one of the knives in his hand, which Frida was able to catch and use in defense of herself as she got up and had the Cult Leader boxed in from behind. But he still fought relentlessly, and would not give up.

But that is when Carlota had an idea, seeing the skull glimmer in the sunlight. Deciding to see if that could work, she held up the skull high up into the sky, where the sun rays shined off on it and blinded the cult leader, distracting him long enough for disarmament as Kimberly quickly swatted away. But this only seemed to enrage the Cult Leader even more.

Cult Leader:"I have had ENOUGH! THE SKULL! THIS LAND! IT IS ALL MINE! GIVE IT TO ME!"

They girls were a little unnerved by that, but that is when they looked towards each other and gave a nod before Carlota held the skull up in front of him.

Carlota:"You want it? Come and get it, then!"

That is when Carlota suddenly tossed the skull over her head and into the lava flow. Panicking at the sight of this, the Cult Leader dove in after it, managing to grab it and cradle it close to him, now having everything so precious to him back...except for the fact, that he was still following and landed back first into lava. That is when he started to sink and burn, but held the skull over the lava, trying to preserve it, but it still sunk just as he did, now permanently destroyed in the river. As this happened, Carlota, Kimberly, and Frida looked down at what had just occurred, and before thinking it was all over, a green flash went up into the sky before it exploded like a firework that spread over the 'barrier', making its dome-like structure visible in a green haze destroying it. As for the cultist, they fell to the floor, all seemingly dead at the loss of their leader and prized artifact.

Now that the deed was done, the group all met back together in the center of the battlefield.

Bobby:"How could that little skull have been the cause of all of this?"

Tricia:"Perhaps some things are better left unanswered."

Carlota:"Let's get out of here."

It took a long walk, but they finally arrived at the edge jungle, where Frida, Ronnie Anne, Bobby, and Lincoln first came through. And for the first time in a long while, the prisoners of the jungle were able to step, feeling the rough African outback ground below their feet. They were finally free of that place and were now making their way back to civilization...but unless they had another means of transportation, they were gonna be walking all the way.

Fumi:"So, uh...how do we get home?"

Fortunately, it seems that luck was in their favor this time around. As overhead, a greyish-green black hawk helicopter flew by and landed not too far away from where they stood. They quickly rushed to it and got in touch with the pilot.

Pilot:"Seems like you people could use a hand!"

Lincoln:"How'd you find us out here?"

Pilot:"Oh, I was given a report of a stolen 4x4 and tracked to somewhere around this location."

This information surprised everyone, but then, they turned to Bobby with stern expressions.

Bobby:"...I-I-I just picked one that was laying around."

Carlota and Ronnie Anne facepalmed at that explanation while Frida seemed a little livid.

Frida:"I thought you rented it!"

Bobby:"We were in a rush to save Carlota! I just thought-!"

Lincoln:"Ugh! Let's just get in and head home."

Everyone started to board the chopper until Fumi wound up struggling to get in, forcing Dani and Wilma to help push her inside, Dani with her hands, and Wilma with her back. As they were pushing, Wilma began to talk about something she was looking forward to.

Wilma:"Can't wait to get a decent meal again, once I'm back in the city!"

Dani:"Hey, wait a minute, I'm usually the one who cooks for you guys!"

Wilma:"Oh, I didn't mean it like that. You're cooking's not bad."

Dani:"And yet, I'm the only one who did the cooking!"

Wilma feared that Dani might not let her hear the end of this as they finally got Fumi and had her sit in the back end of the chopper, having most of the group sit up front while Ronnie Anne, and Frida sat beside her. The little girl was still continuing to enjoy the company of the female sumo wrestler.

Fumi:"Can't wait to go back on tour. There's a lot of sumo wrestling I've been missing since I got held up in that jungle.

Ronnie Anne:"Can't wait to see that! Maybe you can come by Great Lake City before you go! I could show you around."

Frida:"Ronalda, why do you like her so much?"

Ronnie Anne:"I guess I just have a thing for extreme sports."

Frida:"But wrestling isn't really that extreme. They're just for show."

Fumi:""Even if our shows cause earthquakes, whenever one of us is thrown out of the ring?"

Frida rolled her eyes at that while Ronnie Anne got comfortable, resting against the side of Fumi's belly, feeling comfy against it. Meanwhile, Carlotta was sitting next to Kimberly and Lincoln, finally relieved that this was all over. Lincoln couldn't stop talking about it though.

Lincoln:"I can't believe you wound up having your own crazy adventure!"

Carlota:"(tired) Yeah, well...Not what I wanted. I just wanted to have a normal day while on the way home."

Kimberly:"We still had fun though. But at least we finally get to go home."

Carlota:"Amen to that."

And so, the helicopter took off and started to fly away from the jungle...
