Taro put Jess in the mouth of the cave. Since he's too big to fit, he waited outside. A bat came in.
"Name please?"
"Taro Chikumo and Jessica of The Sand..." Taro answered. The bat nodded and flew into the darkness of the cave. A woman came out. Jess saw her as a queen. She kneeled down and bowed.
"Hello Meru-Sama..." Jess said in a formal way. Meru patted Jess's shoulder.
"Don't be afraid...I won't bite." Meru smiled. Jess gave a sigh of relief.
"I would like to talk to you about some things..." Meru started to say.
Meanwhile...
Poker went to retrieve Spits, but then he came back with a spider web on his face.
"He does not cooperate..." Poker said. Just then Chicago laughed.
"Poker, you weakling! Let ME get our younger brother." Chicago flew into a portal. He came back tied up and gagged.
"Whoa, Spits doesn't want to go with us." Hybrid looked at this. Then he looked around for his master, who had disappeared.
"Where's master?" Hybrid asked one of Oogie's skeletons, which was a neon yellow color.
"Master...went to...get Spits for himself...without Spits..Master loses 25% of his brain...." The skeleton said.
With Spits
"Who were they?" Deiara asked the purple bat.
"My brothers...they're after me!" Spits replied coldly. Then he noticed a familiar shadow.
"Oh no, now boss too!?" Spits exclaimed. He flew behind Deiara.
"Dollface, can we go somewhere please?" Spits asked.
"Sure...I know just the place." Deiara ran with Spits on her back. The shadow that Spits saw was Oogie of course. He was well interested with the new friendship.
"Hmmm...dollface?" Oogie questioned, then laughed.
