[b]The Spider and the Fly:[/b]

If Jessibelle actually had hair on the back of her neck, she would have felt the sharp tingling sensation of surprise when the word web left his mouth. Fortunately, it seemed as though he had only said it in the sense of 'She's a spider, let's make web puns.' So Jessibelle's plot hadn't been laid bare quite yet. But, when the anchor was sent sailing in her direction, Jessibelle was not delighted to have to spring her trap on an inanimate object. 

The Empress reared back like a horse and raised her second set of legs upwards, pushing down on the ground with her two back pairs. This pushed her off of the ground momentarily, and then she leaned her weight forwards. Slamming her second pair of legs downwards to the sides of the anchor. The web snagged onto the wide blade and pushed it downwards with 2,410 lbs of weight, the force behind her downward acceleration being higher, obviously. The anchor clanged to the ground with a mighty gong. 

The water blades would be problematic, but this was only a temporary solution to a more extensive problem. The Empress's weight would be more than enough to hold it down, but the true genius is that she isn't actually touching the anchor. The webbing between her legs is what is holding it down, so her legs aren't the closest target. 

The blades of water were close to her legs, but they weren't going to hurt her any time soon. Unless this isn't their full length, then Jessibelle's plan might have to change quite rapidly.
