At Ghost's question Theron turned to him and said "After reading Mandrake's mind I learned that the Queen of the Hell army, Mary the Venusmon manipulated the minds of her subjects. That potion will return any of her subjects that come here and the nearby Snowflake Village to their natural states, in other words free their minds. As for my other spell, she had a portal she was peering through and was planning to attack you all or force you to attack each other. Specifically Lothar and LJ."
News of that was chilling as the room became silent before Lothar said "You mean I would likely of turned on LJ and.." Lothar was unable to finish that sentence as he looked visibly ill at the thought now. What kind of cruel monster were they up against.
Back with Mandrake he turned back toward Mary and said "Yes, that is my father. He is Theron and he is the elder of a small barely known village in the Eastern Timberlands, The Village of Magic so I'm not sure how you'd know of him because, no offense, he is likely far older than you despite remaining his ultimate form of Piximon for many years learning new magic. I heard the only reason he digivolved to mega was that he fell in love." Looking back at the army he said "You may as well just throw me in your dungeon, your majesty, because I will not fight such a senseless fight since you can't send your troops directly at them now."

Ghost would stand up and yell out" You see that is what I meant by love will kill us. If you have any love in your heart she can use it against you to the max. Only me and Yara is immune to it. Only because of certain events. We need to get in there." Ghost was wide up and ready to go as champion form Yara looked on. Thinking to herself about not wanting to become that thing again. Meanwhile back with the Queen she would let out a small laughter as she heard what Mandrake said. " There is no such thing as jail. You may freely move around as you wish. But be warned not even your father can save you from me. After all I am not going to send hell your way at that village but I will send love and you know what they say. Love conquer all." The moment she said that it would appear to ManDrake. Like he was going light speed. As the Queen throne room would disappear as he appeared in a court yard of a garden. With a portal which allows him to talk to everyone thorough it. He just can not enter it. This same portal would appear right in Lothar father home.
As a Gatomon watches ManDrake from behind a tree.

Theron looked at Ghost and said "Don't be so foolish, young man. While you and Yara may be immune to the Queen's power, leaving could endanger your lives. As for everyone else, as long as you remain in the cabin the potion will protect you from the tyrant's influence. To make some for general travel I would need time to create more."
Lothar's mother, who had been quiet since the group met in the living room, said "Theron, feel free to use the kitchen if you wish. There is a pot big enough to mix those potions in." Theron headed for the kitchen to begin brewing the potions. Hopefully Ghost's patience would hold. Lothar looked down at LJ and began messaging the feelers on the young one's head. It was as if he was trying to calm himself as much as keep LJ calm.
It seemed Mary had no idea of how experienced Mandrake's father was in many forms of magic. With Theron's knowledge of potions alone, he could give the tyrant trouble and likely already did. Before Mandrake could respond to Mary's words he was swiftly transported into the garden of a courtyard. Spotting a portal he looked at it seeing everyone that was in the living room of the cabin Theron had already entered the kitchen and was currently not visible to him. As his gaze focused on Lothar he reached out to touch the portal realizing he couldn't pass through it. Lothar looked so lost despite trying to put on a brave face for their son and it seemed LJ was picking up on the general negative vibe in the room.
Mandrake sank to his knees and turned away from the portal as if unable to look at it anymore. Mary's home had become nothing but a fancy prison, in other words, a gilded cage. An unfamiliar presence caught his attention causing him to glance in the direction of a tree where he saw the Gatomon watching him. "I already said I wouldn't try to escape so you can tell your queen that I don't need a guard." Mandrake snapped. Despite the anger in his words, anyone could still hear there was sadness in them too. The tears still flowing from his eyes were also a give away.

The Gatomon would soon show herself. As she looked on she would give off a smiling grin. As she had her tail go back and fourth. Soon she would walk a but closer to ManDrake. As she started to smell the air around him. Yep yep you smell like Yara and more then ever like him. Let me give you some infrastructure on how or who I am. No Mary is no my queen so watch it with that and Two I only know one queen. Looks like you need a way out huh. Well maybe I can help you with that." She would look on at him and said nothing else.
As Ghost would say. " So what now do we just stay here or what is the plan. Because right now all hell could break loose. I mean if he had to put up a potion like that. Then J say we need to strike and strike hard. Yara would put her hand on Ghost as she said. " Mary is her name and we can not just do that. We need to have a better way to stop her. Because so long as love is alive so is she."

Mandrake watched as the Gatomon approached him while smelling the air. Then she said he smelled like Yara and Ghost. Made sense considering he had spent quite a lot of time around them lately. Then when she mentioned she was not loyal to Mary and was offering to help him escape. "No offense but why should I trust you especially since you were trying to hide from me while you were watching? That and if I escape I would be condemning my family to death and likely anyone who gets in the way of Mary's army." Mandrake said with a more polite tone as he drew his knees to his chest. If not for the threat issued on Mandrake's family, he would have tried to escape on his own.
Lothar listened to the exchange between Ghost and Yara and said "I agree with Yara, Ghost. If we rush in without a plan we'll not only endanger ourselves but put potentially put Mandrake's life in danger. Who knows what this Mary will do to him if we aren't careful."
"It's hard to believe Mary would twist something as pure as love to her evil whim." Lothar's mother said with a sad look as she was sitting next to her husband.

Zen would look at the Wizardmon and would off a growl of her own. " I will get to the point ya hear. The thing is not many would dare go against all that is Mary Bell understand me? You see she is all that is love and cruel to her. If you try to leave you will well end up her slave of love. Now then to be frank you will need to ditch the emotions. You will need to be heartless even if it is for the moment and once you do that she will come back. Why you may ask because you held no love in yo heart. Thus she will send you to seek out Tempest and then you could make your move." Zen would look at him as she said such a thing.
Ghost would look on as he viewed Daya incoming message. Looking back up he would look at Lothar. "Hey if all goes to plan we just be able to get Mandrake back. I have an idea well it was Yara idea but it just might work." He would look on at them as he said that.

Mandrake stared at Gatomon incredulously and said "You make it sound easy. I am not a heartless machine that can just shut off my emotions on a whim." He sat quietly stewing on the words he was told. As much as it hurt him to admit it, this Gatomon was right. Standing up again he walked over to the portal and peered into it looking at his family again. Resting his hand on the portal, he thought 'I'm sorry.' Then he walked over to a nearby tree and sat underneath it before closing his eyes. Even though he knew this would be hard on him he focused his mind and slowly managed to clear the thoughts and feelings of his worried family from his mind. Now he had to wait to find out if the Gatomon spoke the truth. If Mary returned he would be still sitting under the tree appearing as if he were meditating.
Lothar wondered what Ghost was so focused on but it seemed Ghost had an idea that he got from Yara. Deciding not to question how he hadn't heard the exchange between tamer and partner, he asked "What's the plan, Ghost? As much as I hate to admit it, I've been unable to come up with a plan."

As Gatomon saw this Zen would look on now to see if he really did not heart. He needed him to ne careless at the moment as she ran off to hide. Mary would appear yet again. But this time she was not in a happy mood more like sad mood to say the least. "Drake boy what is wrong? Surely you are not still mad. I sense you lost a great deal of heart. Fear not I am.your family now and I will also protect my family. But are you sure you are ok?" She looked on at the Wizardmon as Zen would do the same thing as she did and was waiting. To see how Mandrake would react to this.
Meanwhile back at Lothar folks place. Ghost would look on as Yara was done setting up shop. She would return back to his D Arc." Plan E is what we got here do you remember Daya Lothar? We she has a twin name Zen and together they are what will help us free Mandrake trust me on that one?" Ghost would say this with a big smile on his face." We just need for Mandrake to get to Daya who will get to Tempest who could help us out."

Blue eyes slowly opened as Mandrake sensed Mary's arrival. The cunning magician was ready to put on quite a performance. "Why would I be mad? I was just thinking how much I am going to miss adventuring since you forbade me from ever leaving this castle no matter how nice it is." Mandrake said as he looked at Mary with a dead emotionless eyes. The look he was giving would be worrisome to most kind digimon since it looked like Mandrake was emotionally dead.
Meanwhile Lothar was listening to Ghost's and Yara's plan and his eyes widened in surprise at the infomation he learned. Daya had a twin named Zen? "Yes, I remember Daya? How did she get so close without Mary finding her? If this Zen is her twin, why would they have separated? Such a thing goes against the vary nature of twin digimon."
Theron had finished the potion and was waiting for it to cool when he sensed something amiss. Running into the living room he then said "Something has happened with Mandrake. Moments ago I sensed nothing but his sadness and loneliness. Now I sense nothing." The Jijimon looked worried because unlike Mandrake he was not just telepathic and telekinetic but was empathic as well. This was a trait that Mandrake did not inherit.
"What? Could he be hurt?" Lothar asked as he was now more worried about Mandrake.
Picking up on the worry filling the room, LJ whimpered "P-Pa-Pa? Da-Da? Puni?"

Mary looked on at him surely he could not have just simply throw away such feelings so fast. She would then start to smile. As she held out her right hand. "If you did infact give up on life with no love. I will need you to go to your next level in power go ultimate. Once you do that grab hold of my hand. I will show you something so good. You would not even think not is even possible. But keep in mind this will help us all for the better ok." Soon she would give off such a lovely smile. Looking on it was best he should do such a thing.
Meanwhile back with Ghost he would look at what they had to say and replied." The thing is i had two set's of twins amd just know either they are twins or two half id a whole. If they get together we can free Mandrake. But only if we can get there in time. The place we are to meet up with Daya and Zen at.

Theron headed to the kitchen again and returned shortly after with three vials of his potion before he said "Before you young ones head out, take these with you. This potion will keep you from falling under Mary's influence. I will stay here and help look after LJ." He then passed a vial to Lothar, Ghost, and Yara.
"Thank you, Theron. We'll try to be careful." Lothar said as he accepted the vial from Theron. He then lifted LJ out of his lap before standing up. "When do we make our move, Ghost?"
Mandrake did not want to be near her never mind hold her hand but he couldn't drop his act. Rising to his feet he channeled his energy and began glowing. "Wizardmon digivolve to...." he said only for the light of digivolution to stop. Looking at himself, he realized he hadn't been able to digivolve. "How strange. I've never had a problem digivolving before. Why would I now?" Mandrake said. Looking at Mary, he asked "Since I seem to be having a problem digivolving, can we skip that step?" Reaching his hand out toward hers he hoped this problem of his wouldn't throw a monkey wrench into things.

Mary would look at him as he stopped. It was a great shame to say the least. This is when she started to cry. It was all to crazy. As she took the wizardmon hand. "You do realize that if you do not DIGIVOVLE dear Drake boy. Metalgreymon will end it. I am trying to give you a chance here. Why can you not turn up your power. A mega level elite from my army was bested. You had to have helped in that. Now then are you sure you want to play this game with your Queen? Once you say no kiss my hand you made me sad." Meanwhile Zen was watching. She could not say not a word. But she prayed he kept up the act. en hoped he would fight one of her elites. Zen was planning on it.
Back with Ghost he would reply to Lothar." Now let us leave now. We have to meet up with Daya about twenty miles south of here. Once we get there we need to wait on Zen and ManDrake. But that is as far as I Got." Taking the items from the JiJimon he would boy in respect as he looked on. Ghost would head out the door after smiling at Lj hoping Lothar was behind him.

So it seemed she wanted him to fight but why? Was she suspicious and trying to test him for some reason? Deciding that those questions could wait he closed his eyes and he began to glow with the light of digivolution. 'Come on, I can do this. Now my life is likely on the line. This is like when I became Wizardmon for the first time.' Mandrake thought as he clenched his teeth and closed his eyes. "Wizardmon digivolve to Mistymon." Mandrake said. As the light of digivolution faded he felt off. He had a foreboding feeling that he couldn't hold this form for long but didn't know why. Looking at Mary, he took her hand and kissed it, though the act disgusted him he was able to keep up his act. Mandrake then said "Let's get this over with. Just so you know I won't kill MetalGreymon nor did I kill Pukumon."
Back at the cabin, Lothar looked back once more at LJ, who was now sitting in his mother's lap, and smiled at the little one before following after Ghost. "I just hope Mandrake is alright. Wonder why Theron can't sense Mandrake empathically anymore." Lothar said as he walked with Ghost and Yara.

Mary would look at Mandrake ultimate form and smile from esr to ear. As she stood up she would point over to Gatomon who was walking towards them. Drake boy here is the deal. You see I plan on letting you go only if you defeat her. By beating her you will teleport right in front of your love ones. But keep in mind if you lose you will die. Butttttt if you win then well Lothar will die. What do I mean by that you see. I am about to cast a spell over you. If you truly do not care anymore then well. Lothar will win. However the stronger your love for him is the stronger the clone will become. LOVERS HEART." Lovers heart is a very powerful move. If you was to love someone. It will cause a clone of you to appear in front of someone you love dearly. This clone un like the real version will have only hate for that person. The more you love them the stronger the clone hate for them is. To make matters worse. If they was to damage the clone the real version would too be damage. This very move lead Mary to power.
As the trio was moving along. As Lothar asked that question. It would be at least two hours before they left and they was now in the forrest. Because of Mary Lothar would start to feel numb for a moment. Only for what to look just like Mandrake in ultimate form to appear. Yara was in champion form herself. This caught even Ghost off his rockers as he could not even answer Lothar question. Meanwhile Gatomon would glow up as ahe became angewomon. She would aim her bow at Mandrake as she smiled. "Yeah this will hurt you more you magical knight. So say good bye." Soon she would fire off three arrows at him as Mary teleported away.
Note Mary uses Lover Heart. Causes a clone of a love one to form in front of the target with intent to take down. 0/5

It seemed that Mary would have one more surprise for Mandrake as not only he was ordered to fight the Gatomon but learned a copy of him would be sent after Lothar. This copy was no ordinary one it seemed as it would be stronger the more he loved Lothar. Right there it seemed the jig would be up as the spell activated. Mandrake only hoped Lothar would be able to stop the clone no matter what would happen to him.
Mandrake wobbled as it seemed he was weakening from whatever caused his struggle to digivolve. Even if he beat the Angewomon aiming a bow at him, there was no guarantee Mary would keep her word to return him to his family. He was not as naive as Mary may have believed. As Zen's arrows flew Mandrake drew his sword only for him to topple from its weight sinking to his knees the sword embedded in the ground in front of him. He felt too weak to get up and saw one of the arrows had hit his bionic left arm leaving the artificial limb limp. Would the Angewomon move to finish him off seeing as he was now helpless? Looking at her he asked "Is there a way to stop the clone without hurting me? Or are you not sure?" His words were pained as he considered releasing his lock on his emotions.
Meanwhile with the others, Ghost's surprise caused Lothar to look in the direction tamer and partner were looking only to see what appeared to be Mandrake in his ultimate form of Mistymon but something was amiss. Lothar sniffed the air and said "Ghost, Yara, be careful. Though he may look like Mandrake his scent tells me otherwise." Lothar glared at the copy and began to growl. If this was one of Mary's tricks, just what was she trying to pull?
