It was quite some time later when I woke up dangling from a strange ceiling. The first thing I noticed that I was dangling from a ceiling in a chain harness that wrapped around my shoulders and waist. Looking about, I saw that the red head neko child, the two cats, the dog, the panda cub, the fox mink, the dragon-hampster, and the yeti were in seperate cages. The blue dragon was also in a similar harness that I was in, but it was not dangling eleven feet off the ground as I was. All of them seemed to be asleep.

Based off the machinery I saw below me, I was in some kind of warehouse. Sensing danger, I began to swing my legs back and forth to attempt to reach the blue dragon. If anyone could get me and the others out of this madhouse, it would be her. The closer I swung to the blue dragon, the louder a faint thump! became. Swearing, I began to swing harder. Just as my hand landed between the eyes of the blue dragon, the east wall of the warehouse exploded inward.

Breaking the chain about me, I landed on the ground where the blue dragon had been. Landing with one knee touching the ground, I silently summoned both Louies, buth Dino's, and all of Slinky's links restored--including the voicebox that Chazu had installed on him.

"Slinkers, can you forgive me?" I asked, as the chain wrapped itself around my head.

"Of course!" Slinky replied as he began to physically attach himself to my head.

"A'ight then. You ready?"

"For a while."

"Good."

Switching the Louies for the Dinos, I spun in a circle along the cages where my guardians and my daughter were at. Just as I opened Shalimar's cage, several machines crashed through the air over my head. Snarling I spun around to face Lord Aricus.

"YOU!" I growled, whiplashing my invisible tail. "YOU WERE BEHIND ALL OF THIS FROM THE BEGINNING!"

"Yes I was," Lord Acrius said without raising the brim of his cowboy hat to look at me, slowly drawing a pair of pistols from beneath his coat. "But only since I found out your Lord Avondale was dead."

"Don't you dare speak his name!" I snarled, crossing the Dinos across my chest. "You have no right to speak his name!"

"I have more right to it than you do," Lord Acrius said, taking aim.

"Lord Avondale said once that if he saw you or others of your kind here he'd kill you," I replied, crouching. "Since he's unavailable at the moment, I'll have to take his place."
