His Luck Just Ran Out!

Longshot waited for the right second to jump in and save Domo from Mojo's anger. He made sure to hide himself in the shadows of the citadel. He wondered why he was going to help Domo as he leapt to rescue him until he lost control of his jump and fell away from Mojo!

''So you joined Longshot's rebels, have you, Domo? ' Mojo snarled as he proceeded to scratch across his servant's chest.

''No! I haven't joined the rebels!''

Longshot watched as Mojo inflicted more damage on poor Domo before departing. He slowly approached Domo who wept in a quiet tone. ''Domo, I tried to save you, but.... I... my motives...''

Longshot gasped when he saw the hatred and anger in Domo's eyes when he looked up! His hand was grabbed as he was dragged out of the room and into Spiral's Body Shoppe!

''Spiral! Make Longshot look more interesting! He deserves to suffer,'' Domo announced. He watched Spiral smile as she placed Longshot in a booth and used electricity to hurt him! He grinned as Longshot screamed until he remembered the rebel who had at least tried to help him.

''Spiral, cease what you are doing!'' he commanded.

Startled by his voice, Spiral obeyed. She watched Domo release Longshot and help him out of the chamber.

''Why did you save me, Domo?'' Longshot inquired.

Domo smiled. ''You did try to save me. Perhaps your luck hasn't run out!''
