Sportsmaster and Tigress drag Rick and Beth to the cell. Tigress shoves Beth to the ground before chaining her hands.
Sportsmaster chains Rick to the wall.

Henry watches. He reads Rick's mind.

"Please just let me be with my mom" Henry hears Rick's thoughts.

Cindy walks up next to Henry.

"I hear his thoughts" Henry said.

"Your not getting soft on me are you Henry?" Cindy asked.

"Of course not" Henry said.

"Good now come on we have a girl to keep a eye on" Cindy said.

Cindy leaves as Henry stays behind. He looks at Rick who looked weak. He walks into the cell as Sportsmaster and Tigress leave.

"Rick are you okay ?" Henry asked.

Rick looks up and gives a weak grin.

"I'm okay just a bit scratched up" Rick said.

"I'm sorry this is happening to you Rick" Henry said.

Rick looks at Henry.

"It's okay I forgive you" Rick said.

Henry walks out of the cell. He comes across the Dragon king looking over his plans.

"Ah Mr. King, what can I do for you?" Dragon king asked.

"I'm worried about Rick he's close to dying...." Henry said.

"Don't worry about Hourman will take care of him soon enough" Dragon king said.

"What are you gonna do to him ?" Henry asked.

"Not to worry, You'll see soon enough" Dragon king said.

"Your not gonna kill him are you?" Henry asked.

"No I have bigger plans for him" Dragon king said.

Henry looks at Dragon king not knowing what to say.

"I have something to show" Dragon king said.

Dragon king leads Henry to a secret room. He sees a chair with a cap with a wire connected to it.

"What is this?" Henry asked.

"My machine" Dragon king answers.

"What does it do ?" Henry asked.

"It reads everyone's minds" Dragon king said.

"That's cool" Henry said.

"Would you like to try it ?" Dragon king asked.

"I gusse it can't hurt to try" Henry said.

Henry sits down on the chair. Dragon king starps his waist to the chair and then clamps his wrist down with metal restraints.

"I should tell you about the risks before we begin the test" Dragon king said.

"What kind of risks?" Henry asked.

"Either this works or everything in your cell will melt" Dragon king explains.

Henry's eyes widen in shock.

"I'm not sure about this" Henry said worried.

Cindy walks in and sees her father and Hnery.

"It's okay Henry I'll be here" Cindy said.

"Okay I'll do it" Henry said.

Dragon king puts on the cap on Henry's head. He then turns on the machine and lighting shoots out from the cap as Henry let's out a cry of pain. He starts to hear millions of thoughts.

Dragon king looks at the monitor and sees the level are rising. He stops the machine. Cindy runs over to Henry and takes off the cap. Henry looked dazed.

"Henry are you okay ?" Cindy asked.

"How do you feel Mr.King?" Dragon king asked.

"All those thoughts I heard them all" Henry breathes out.

"Looks like the machine works" Dragon king said satisfied.
