"Get them, my children!" Arach yelled out as the spiders surrounded Raccoon and Skunk.

Skunk was swinging back and forth over and over till he was finally backed on top of the web. A few spiders charged at Skunk and tried to bite him, but he jumped and performed a flying kick on the first spider and did a sweep kick on the other two spiders. But he forgot that there was little ground to stand on and fell but he caught the web just in time.

"Mental Note: never do ground purpose moves while standing on spider webs." Skunk thought as he got back up on the spider web. And fight off more spiders.

Raccoon was at the bottom looking all over him surrounded by spiders. One charged at him but jumped the attack, and then one spider behind his back charged. Raccoon then elbowed the spider's head when he saw it came. But two more rushed forward at his front. Raccoon punched the first approaching spider then hopped over it and kicked the second one back.

"Come on, is that the best you got, web-heads?" Raccoon mocked then he felt something sticky on his hands. He looked and saw two spiders sprayed their webs on Raccoon's arm and began to pull them. Raccoon grunted as he feels his arms being pulled apart. Thinking quickly he started to spin around, with the two spiders that sprayed their webs at him hitched in the ride. Raccoon spun around and hit all the spiders with the other two spiders. The web of the spiders that had Raccoon finally snapped off and send the two spiders flying.

Raccoon stopped spinning after the web was broken and began to remove what was left in his hands. Raccoon then looked up to see Skunk in trouble; he was surrounded by spiders the most. Raccoon looked around to find something that might help Skunk. He then found a broken tree branch and picked it up, he remove some twigs to make a poor imitation of a Bo staff. He was about to throw it at Skunk till he felt something sticky again, but this time it was on his back.

He felt a tug then he was pulled and swung into a tree. He dropped the weapon after the impact, and looked up to see that Arach was the one who did it.

"I've wanted to do that for so long."

"Too bad you're not the type of a person that has patience." Raccoon scoffed, "And you call yourself a spider."

Arach growled at Raccoon for mocking him and charged forward. Raccoon slowly got up and looked at Arach and the Bo staff on the ground. Raccoon grinned and said, "Hey Arach heads up!" He kicked up the Bo staff, high in the air, distracting Arach. Then Raccoon gave a strong round house kick on Arach's face. Raccoon jumped up and caught the Bo staff; he then strikes the Bo staff 3 times on Arach. He then spun the staff around and pushed it against Arach, it send him flying towards a tree like he was hit by a car.

"Hey, I finally got the Push of the Rushing Water move down." Raccoon commented then remembered about Skunk's situation. "Hey Skunk! Catch!" He called Skunk and tossed the makeshift staff at him.

Skunk caught it just in time and swept it on the ground hitting the spiders' legs, some fell off the web. He jumped and landed on Baboon's cocoon, but he didn't realize that he was on his face.

Baboon was telling Skunk something, but his voice was muffled. "What did you say?" Skunk asked as he took his foot off Baboon's face.

"I said, "Get off my face"," Baboon yelled, "And would it kill you to wash your feet!"

"Sorry." Skunk said then he uppercutted one spider and was about to jumped on a different cocoon. But he didn't realize the spider behind him.

"Skunk, behind you!" Panda yelled. Skunk look behind and the spider was close to bite him. But then Raccoon came in just in time and kicked it off the web, saving Skunk's life.

"Phew. Thanks for the save." Skunk said.

"Hey, we're friends; you would've same for me." Raccoon said then more spiders started to surround them, "But we're not through yet." Then they got into their fighting position and the spiders charged at them.

While Skunk and Raccoon were fighting off all the spiders, Mantis was trying to free the others. However, he is still trying to free Rabbit. And Raccoon and Skunk we're surrounded and out numbered, really tired.

Rabbit groaned, "Come on Mantis. Hurry up; we need to help Skunk and Raccoon."

"I'm working as fast as I can." Mantis said while trying to pull the web apart, "You know. This isn't easy without hands." But he didn't know that Arach was behind him.

"Need some help?" Arach said

"Why yes, that would be ni- AAAAAHHHH!!" Mantis said after he turned around to see Arach behind.

"Although I hate the taste of insects, one more couldn't hurt." Arach then opened his mouth to take a bite out of Mantis. But he stopped when he heard "Here comes the Calvary" music. "What the? Where is that music coming from?"

His answer came when the Killer Bees and the Fireflies came out flying towards Arach. A couple of fireflies came close to Arach's face and flashed at his eyes, temporarily blinding him. "AAH! MY EYES!" Arach yelled. Then the Killer Bees turned into a Bo staff and hit Arach knocking him off the web and fell down to the ground leaving him unconscious.

"Ha, take that chump!" All of the Killer Bees said. Then the bees turned into a sword and started to cut through the cocoons, first freeing Rabbit and Fox.

"Ha Ha, this is going to be real fun." Rabbit said as he began to crack his knuckles. Then Rabbit and Fox went to help Skunk and Raccoon. Rabbit jumped and started to spin around hitting the spiders. Fox kicked one spider and turned around and did a back-flip kick on the spider behind her.

When the Bees finally freed the valley animals, they all fought the spiders. Despite the valley animals being strong, they were greatly out numbered and once again cornered. Then Panda had an idea.

"Fox, Crane, Duck and Skunk, use the Four-Winds Attack!" Panda said.

"What?!" Fox, Crane, Duck and Skunk yelled simultaneously.

"Just do it!" Panda yelled back. They don't know what Panda's idea was, but they just nodded and went to their position. Duck gave Skunk two fans for him to use and the fan fighters gathered around and started to spin. "Now everyone, grab on the web and hang on!" And they did so.

The fan fighters spinning suddenly became a lot faster, then a powerful gust of wind formed and surrounded them. The spiders were trying to hold on, but they were sucked into the vortex, the wind suddenly expanded sending all the spiders into different directions. The wind died out and Fox, Duck, Crane, and Skunk stopped spinning. Then everyone cheered at their victory.

Everyone was now out of the web, except the monkeys, the Killer Bees left them there since they were the enemy. Nearly all the spiders were gone from the Four-Winds Attack, all except their boss Arach, who was still unconscious. And Raccoon was apologizing to the others from getting involved in this mess.

"Look guys, I'm really sorry for all of this." Raccoon continued, "I should've known from the beginning when this started to happen."

"What happened wasn't your fault." Fox said.

"Yeah she's right." Skunk said, "You couldn't have known that Arach came back and was behind this whole thing." Then Panda came close and placed his paw on Raccoon's shoulder.

"Raccoon, you can't keep blaming yourself on what you did in the past." Panda said, "But what matters, are the things you do in the present, helps for the better future."

"Whoa. That's heavy stuff." Rabbit commented.

"Thank you, Master Panda." Raccoon said with a smile.

"Can we leave already?" Tiger asked, "This place is scary, even without the spiders."

"Alright, let's go." Panda said, but just before they could leave, they heard Baboon.

"Hey! Don't just leave us here like this!" Baboon yelled from the web, where he and his monkeys are still tied up.

"Should we?" Rabbit asked.

"We're not that heartless, Rabbit." Fox said.

The Killer Bees looked at Panda, he nodded to the Killer Bees and they flew up to the webs. The Bees separated and both turned to swords and cut the supports of the web. The web fell and with Baboon and the monkeys falling like rocks and landed on the ground. Their restraints were broken off and most were knocked out.

"Couldn't you've been a little gentler?" Baboon grunted as he tried to get up from the ground.

Skunk turned his attention to Arach, who was currently unconscious, "But, what do we do with him?" Skunk asked when he pointed at Arach.

Raccoon smiled, "I know one way."

"Oh, where am I?" Arach groaned as he slowly woke up, he looked at his area to see it is different the whole place had a lot of sunlight and had a wide open space and he was near a river.

"You're now at the Valley, spidey." Raccoon said. Arach looked up to see Raccoon sitting on him. Arach tried to move, but he right now he was tied up; ironically it was his own webs that kept him in place. "Ironic, isn't it?" Raccoon said as he jumped off of Arach, "A spider getting caught in its own web."

"What's going on?" Arach demanded.

"Well, let's just say that you're going on a little trip down the water." Raccoon said. Arach suddenly got the idea and started to struggle out of the web, but stopped when he heard Raccoon again, "But don't worry. You'll be going in style." Raccoon gestured to the raft next to him.

"This isn't over!" Arach yelled, "I will have my revenge!"

"Oh, blah blah your needs." Raccoon said as he pushed Arach onto the raft and send it on its way. "Oh yeah, and if you find any of your spider friends along the way, tell them I said hi and bon voyage."

Arach screamed as the current on the river suddenly went faster and took him away till he was out of sight. Raccoon laughed, "Man that was fun." Then Panda, came in.

"Feel any better?" Panda asked.

"Yeah, did you see the look on his face, it was priceless." Raccoon laughed.

"Well I'm glad you feel that way because…" Panda then pulled out a broom, "you will now help everyone can clean up the spider webs around the valley."

"Yes master." Raccoon said with a salute as he grabbed the broom from Panda and started to clean.

"Hmm, I was right. Raccoon is different then I expected." Panda said then smiled, "And I like it."

And here is the end of my second fic. And here is the summary of my third fic The Art of the Reunion: Two familiar faces for the valley had come back after a 10 year journey. Everyone is glad their back, but Tiger has been avoiding them lately. Skunk wants to know what is going on so he went to investigate. Basically this fic would contain some flashbacks about Tiger's past and what really happened (well my version of it anyway). This fic would probably come out one or 2 weeks of time. But stay in touch.
