little darts won't hurt me.

Huh. We'll see about that.

I'll inform the Phantom

General you're here

and we'll destroy you all!

Even when she's

under mind control,

she has no sense of direction.

Don't let her go.

We gotta capture her.

You got it.

How you want her cooked?

Don't hurt her.

Ah, you're no fun.

I gotcha.

This is going to hurt

me more than it hurts you.

I bet Manny Mantis

and the others

are bewitched and part of

the Phantom Army now, too.

Oh, no. I really don't

want to have to fight them.

The only way to save them is to

take down that nine-headed snake.

Yeah!

Let's go.

This castle is like a maze.

Which way should we go?

Just be sure to keep an eye out

for the nine-headed snake.

Follow me, guys. Though I have

not been here long,

I do know every

corner of the castle.

Billy Beakman.

At your service.

Stay where you are.

What's happened to you all?

- Run!

- They're bewitched!

What do we do now?

It's a dead end.

That's right.

We gotcha now.

Come on, Bruce.

Don't you remember us?

GoGo, you can join us, too.

I can't. You know I don't

like it when things get dirty.

I calculate we'll have

to do this the hard way.

Looks like we're

gonna have to fight 'em.

We can't do that. Your magical

flames will harm them.

- We got no choice.

- They're mind-controlled.

- We can't hurt our friends.

- Watch out!

Well, well, well.

I have you now.

And you're all mine.

I'm gonna barbecue

you, you big rump roast.

How dare you! Quiet!

If you aren't careful,

I'll chop you into firewood.

No, you won't.

Hiyah!

Are you trying to rebel?

No, not rebel. Return!

Wait. But I thought that...

you were bewitched.

Well, you thought

wrong, didn't you, Crusher?

Let's get you back

to your old self.

Patrick, grab the

bull by the horns! Ha-ha!

I gotcha.

Hey, we could use

a little help here.

Thanks.

Going up.

How are you?

How do you think I am?

Awful.

Right. If Jimmy Ginseng

hadn't arrived in time,

we really would have

become your victims.

You're ruining everything now.

Play your song.

Make it stop!

I must resist.

Yes!

You've freed me from the

Evil Master's mind-control.

Ah, much better.

Are you OK?

I just need to rest.

It's up to you now.

Don't worry. We'll

take care of everything.

- Take care.

- Thank you.

What do you think

we should do next?

Well, first, we should ask them

where the Evil Master is.

No. I think we should

rescue the princess first.

Mmm. She's right.

The poor princess

has been locked away

in an awful place

and needs to be rescued now.

Yeah.

Can you take us right

to her, Crusher the Ox?

Yes, of course, I can.

It would be an honor.

Uh. General, sir.

Step aside. Move it!

Yes, sir. Sorry, General.

- How much further?

- Not too far.

This place smells worse

than Peggy's gas bombs.

It's enough to make me

wanna cock-a-doodle croak.

I can't take any more.

Hey, we're all in the

same stinky boat for now.

Princess Angelica,

we're here to rescue you.

I have been waiting for

all of you to come here.

We've been tricked.

Crusher the Ox,

why'd you sell us out?

I wouldn't trick

my own rescuers.

Ah-hah! I'm the one

who fooled you, suckers!

- Why you...

- Hey. I want to know what you've done

with Princess Angelica.

I bet you do.

You will find her locked

away in the cave behind me.

However, I will never

allow you to pass.

Oh, yeah? Well, we'll just have

to see about that, won't we?

All right. Let's charge him.

Snake eyes!

- He got him!

- All right.

Good job, Bunny.

Old nine heads isn't

so powerful after all!

We got this.

You lose.

The Rebellion of the

Seven Wonders ends here.

Bring it, ugly.

Huh? You regenerated?

But that's against the rules!

Everyone, together.

Unless we attack all

nine heads at once,

we won't be able to stop it.

There's nothing I despise

more than filthy traitors.

Hah. Hiyah!

My hair.

How dare you!

Bernie. The notes.

Yes. I'll use the note.

Careful.

Step aside.

I'm burnin' mad, now.

I'm gonna break this snake.

Let's do this!

No, wait!

Stop!

There's no stopping me now.

Feel the burn!

Patrick, run! Or we're all

going to be turned to ash.

Ah, see that?

That's how you do it.

I can't believe

we finally made it.

I'm exhausted.

I found this burnt

piece of paper.

- What is it?

- It's from the Fox Elder.

She told him to open it,

when in desperate danger.

So, what does it say?

We must sacrifice one

for the sake of all.

We should honor his sacrifice.

Let's go rescue

Princess Angelica.

This is where the nine-headed

snake has been keeping her.

- This is terrible.

- She's in a trance.

- Princess Angelica.

- Is she alright?

She can't hear us.

We have to hurry and save her.

Princess Angelica, I'll come

over there and save you.

No, wait.

Stop. You can't.

It's not safe.

The water is contaminated.

It's filled with evil poison.

Don't touch it.

GoGo Goat, use your whip

and pull the princess clear.

- OK.

- No, that won't be sufficient.

I calculate your whip won't stand

a chance against those chains.

Someone is gonna

have to cross the water

and undo those

chains to free her.

- Let me be the one.

- Huh?

If I'd have taken down that

snake when this all started,

Bernie Hothead wouldn't have

had to finish him by himself.

It's the least I could do.

Ox, no!

I'm the one to blame.

When I was bewitched

by the Evil Master,

I almost destroyed

Merryland with my rage.

A sword cannot

break these chains.

Only I have the

strength that can do it.

Almost there.

Your highness.

It was too much for him.

That poor bovine.

He'll be all right.

So, how is she doing?

The power of the

Dragon Ball will protect her.

Eventually, she will be fine.

But as for Crusher,

I cannot say.

You gonna be OK, there, buddy?

Don't worry about me.

I finally did

something really good.

Don't give up.

We'll find a way to cure you.

Eventually, I'll be fine.

But you need to save

Princess Angelica.

Wait. I still smell the snake.

The snake? Where?

I thought he was gone for good.

So, what are we gonna do now?

We've got to get the

princess and get outta here.

There's only one way

out of this chamber,

but it's blocked by the snake.

We can't get out.

Then why don't we

dig a new passage?

Huh?

Together again.

Hello, friends.

Manny Mantis.

- Nice to see you.

- How'd you find us?

I am a master of many skills.

We'll talk later, but for now,

you must follow me.

Manny's right. We can talk about

all that once we've escaped.

But first we must

get the princess.

Not so fast!

I can't hold it much longer.

Try!

Wait. I'm stuck.

You're right. I'm afraid the

opening isn't quite big enough.

Allow me to...

Peggy, go next.

Take Ox with you.

- I can hold the door.

- No, I can hold it.

- You get out with Ox.

- No. You leave first.

Wait. Get out of here.

- You first.

- You go.

No, you first.

I can hold back the snake.

You two, go!

No, Crusher.

I've got this.

Escape while you still can.
