Descendants: Upon a Star/Season One - 102: Happily Never After

Blackness. No sounds or noise or life. Complete silence and blackness until..eyes open up. Carlos finally woke up from being passed out from Collector’s spell only to find himself in the middle of a desert with nothing visible in sight except for dead bushes. Carlos got up and looked around noticing Jay, Evie and Mal all passed out on the ground.  
“Guys wake up.” Carlos said, trying to nudge the three awake. Mal was the second to open her eyes.
“Oww…ugh..guys? Is everyone okay?” Mal asked.
“I woke up first.” Carlos said.
“Yeah..” Jay said, rubbing his head. “Ow my head hurts..What happened?”
“Well we know Collector went batshit with the wand. Is anyone injured?” Carlos asked. 
“What I want to know is how the Collector got out of the Isle in the first place.” Evie spoke up.
“I mean..I don’t mean to be a dick but…its kinda shady how the moment Hades settles into the Isle, Collector is freed and has the wand.” Jay said, looking at Mal.
“No..I don’t think it was my dad.” Mal said.
“Really Mal?? The God of Death and “uncle of the year” who tried killing youre cousin twenty years ago. Remember that? The reason he was on the Isle in the first place?” Carlos pointed out.
“I get what you guys are saying but my Dad..never really liked any of the other villains on the Isle. He genuinely felt like he didn’t belong there because his situation was a little bit different because he was a God. Plus, while I don’t at all condone what he did twenty years ago, he does seem resourceful at least. I do really believe that he’s changed.” Mal explained.
“M, I really do want to believe you but who else would be behind this?” Evie asked.
“Well Belos seem like a lot more plausible of a canidate considering he used Collector before. I mean Collector seems a lot more self aware now but who's to say Belos isn’t using a different approach to this new Collector this time?” Mal suggested.
“But how could he and Collector get off the Isle? And didn’t Collector get redeemed so why was he on the Isle in the first place?” Jay asked.
“Those are…very good questions. If Collector was treated better none of this would’ve happened. We need to find Fairy Godmother and Ben and Luz and her group. Maybe they’ll know what to do.” Mal said.
“But do we know where WE even are? It doesn’t  look like Auradon.” Evie says, looking around. 
“I don’t know..We should start walking somewhere.” Carlos said. “Maybe we’ll find someone on the way.” 
The group all agreed to walk forward. As they kept walking, recognizable blue birds sat on a powerline like they usually did in Auradon but this time they looked sinister, demon-like with red eyes, ruffled blue feathers and sharp claws.
“Oh hey..those birds. Finally someone we recognize. E do you think you can talk to them?” Mal asked. “With you being Snow White’s step sister and all that.” 
“Oh..um yeah..I can try.” Evie says as she looks up at the birds. Evie sings to get their attention and the birds swooped down and start attacking them.
“AHH!!” Evie screamed.
“Why are they attacking?!! I thought these birds were supposed to be nice or at least calm!!!?” Jay asked.
“I don’t know! They usually are!!” Evie shouted.
The birds started to spit at them, the spit hit Carlos’s arm and started burning it.
“OW!” Carlos shouted as he held his arm. “Their spits burn!”
“We need to get out of here!!” Mal shouted and the four took off running as fast as they could while the demonic birds chased. The more they ran the more the surroundings kept changing with this glitchy effect from a lifeless desert to a magical fantasy world to a 1950s town, to a suburban sitcom. 
“What's happening and why is everything changing??” Evie asked as she looked around while running as objects changed into different objects. At one point everything changed to white as their words were being typed in the air as they thought and said them.
“What the hell??” Jay shouted as the magical transcript copied exactly what Jay said and how he said it. 
“This is so weird..” Carlos mumbled.
Eventually the four burst through a magical force finally getting away from the birds.
“Is everyone okay?” Mal asked. 
Carlos nodds but doesn’t say anything. His arm burns some sort of message on it with no English translation.
“Ouch..” Jay mumbled.
“I'm fine.” Carlos lies. 
“No you're not.” Evie says as she takes her portable first aid kit out of her bag.
“You just carry around a mini first aid around everywhere you go??” Jay asked.
“Well..yeah..you never know when you might need it, like now.” Evie answered.
Carlos was ever so slightly intrigued about the message on his arm but ultimately didn’t think much of it. Evie took out an ice packet and bandage and started tending to Carlos’s arm.
“Wait..where are we now?” Jay asked.
The group all looked around and the new surroundings appeared like a neglected kingdom with over growing vines on some of the buildings, dead flowers, broken roads and other signs of a dystopian version of what was a united and thriving kingdom.
“Is this..Auradon?” Evie asked.
“Wow..that magic really did damage of the place.” Jay mumbled.
The others continued walking when residents started to peak out from alleyways, sewers and others. They seemingly looked familiar and yet ever so slightly different. There was a sense of sinisterism that corrupted the strong Auradon heroes they are - or at least used to be. Heuy, Dewey and Louie were breaking and stealing stuff from shops while laughing and having an almost demonic look to them; their feathers were ruffled and their eyes were glowing red. Shop owners were dragging Magic Carpet into a shop with the carpet resisting, Flora was on a cigarette break.
“Okay..so the birds aren’t a one off.” Carlos said.
“What the hell..this is worse then I thought.” Mal mumbled.
“Well what are we supposed to do? This seems a bit more serious then when we had to deal with Maleficent, Uma and Audrey.” Jay said.
“A bit would be an understatement. The Collector literally took the wand and either destroyed Auradon and somehow corrupted and/or killed a lot of the heroes or created some new alternate universe or something.” Carlos said.
“Isn’t that a bit of a stretch?” Evie asked.
“Not really. We never knew what Fairy Godmother’s wand was capable of if it ended up in the wrong hands.” Mal pointed out.
“Didn’t Tremaine do this before?” Jay asked.
“Actually..she did but it was isolated to her wanting to undo the night Cinderella met the Prince so Anastaia could marry him. This..is different. This is worse.” Mal pointed out.
“What do you suggest we do then?” Evie asked.
“I don’t know. Let's just try to find Ben, my Dad, Fairy Godmother, Luz, Eda and King especially and go from there. Guys, we saved Auradon before. We can do it again, because we’re rotten..”
“To the core.” All four said at the same time.
Meanwhile on the other side of Auradon awoke Hades with a headache. The last thing the blue flaming god could remember was Auradon being consumed by a sinister green presence and Collector claiming the wand for himself before everything turned black.  Hades rose up from the ground and looked around Auradon - or at least what he thought was or used to be Auradon. Surely this couldn’t be the overly positive, united “good overcomes evil” world Hades entered not too long ago. To Hades, he couldn’t easily process the fact that a villain succeeded. Hades himself was close to succeeding his goal to overthrow his pompous brother and the other Olympian Gods but his headstrong nephew got in the way.
“Yeesh…Auradon really went downhill in..however long its been.” Hades mumbled to himself as he walked around this new “Auradon'' where he started to recognize a few faces but ever so slightly. WALL-E was dragging his tracks across the ground, looking all broken and barely surviving, Pinnochio was a lifeless puppet waiting to be sold outside of a shop and the seven dwarfs were all chained up and dragging diamonds to what appeared to be an entrance to a mind.
“Interesting…” Hades mumbled.
“AHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” A loud feminine voice screamed from nearby causing the attention of everyone in town. A young woman with long brown hair, light tan skin and piercing blue eyes ran down the street. She haid vines and flowers in her hair and wore a white dress with gold gardaments. This young girl struck familiarity to Hades, he knew he met her before but where?
“Help!! Somebody please!!” The girl begged right before men in black and yellow armor marching out of heavy iron doors that magically appeared. The men had guns that also had the same yellow and black uniform colors and rocks were spawned out of the ground to stab people at their will. The rocks, also known as the Black rocks that were originally a result of the use of the Moonstone, stabbed through the ground aggressively as the people continued to panic to find shelter. Then it all stopped.
Bolt stepped out of the free hanging door, this time in black and yellow armor including a mini cape and a black crown with sharp ends.
“B-B-Bolt!!” The girl stuttered, unsure of what to say but to bow. Bolt looked around, giving a dirty glare to all of the spectators.
“So where is it? WHERE’S MY WAND?!!!” Bolt shouted.
“I-I-I thought I brought it to you.” The girl said.
“Are you saying Im stupid?” Bolt asked, raising an eyebrow.
“No Bolt..I’d never..” The girl answered.
“Do I look stupid to you? Let’s just think about the logic shall we? Let's use our heads for once. If I had the wand, WHY THE HELL AM I DOWN IN THIS FITHHOLE LOOKING FOR IT?!!!!!!” Bolt shouted. “Wait..heh..why am I asking YOU??? You aren’t Collector..”
Hades was stunned at what he was watching. He recognized the white australian shepherd from that one TV Show that came on his TV one day but Bolt was never this cruel. 
“She’s covering for the Collector and handling outside affairs for him.” Spoke up a civilization that was watching.
“Ah..I see…under new management. So its your fault?” Bolt asked, looking directly at the girl. 
“No..No! I..I'm trying my best! Please! I know where it is, just give me more time to get you it! I'm his assistant so I-” The girl begged before being cut off.
“Nah nah. First rule of leadership, everything is your fault. So what is your name?” Bolt asked.
“Persephone..my friends call me Kore.” Persephone answered. Suddenly Hades’s memory of her rang a bell. 
“Oh..I see..Well..here’s what I will do. I will give you one more chance to claim the wand. You have  48 hours to bring me the wand. After that, I will not be as kind as I have been.” Bolt explained.
“I wouldn’t call that kind personally but hey you do you.” Hades accidentally spatted out loud for everyone to hear. “Oh shit.”
“I'm sorry, who the hell are you?!” Bolt asked angrily. 
“Well..that's..actually very appropriate phrasing kinda..” Hades mumbled.
“Do you have something to add Blue flame?” Bolt asked.
“Negative.” Hades answered.
“No? Then get back in line!! Seems like some of you have forgotten your place! Let’s make it twenty four hours then.” Bolt said before turning to Persephone. “Don’t fuck it up. This is your final warning.”
“I understand.” Persephone said before nodding. Another metal door appeared magically and opened to a shadowy void. Bolt gave one last dirty look at Hades before walking through.
“Man…” Hades mumbled. Persephone turned to Hades with surprise. “Oh..wait..are you the God of Death?” 
“The one that attempted to overthrow my brother and murder my nephew? Yes…” Hades reluctantly answered. “So you're the goddess of Spring eh? What's the deal with you..are you..under whatever spell Collector casted or..?” 
“I cannot speak for all of the other Olympus Gods but no. I still have memories from what happened.” Persephone answered.
“Right…look I'm just trying to figure this out? How long have we..or at least I have passed out from the spell?” Hades asked.
“From our perspective..a few hours. In this timeline, 30 years.” Persephone answered much to Hades’s shock. “Excuse me?”
“This..is really confusing but..what happened was Collector created a brand new universe, one where all of the heroes’s adventures from 20 years ago still happened..but ended very..very poorly. In this universe all the villains won and well..the heroes didn’t exactly lived “happily ever after.” Persephone explained.
“So what is there a pre established history or a rewrite of history because of this spell?” Hades asked.
“Correct.” Persephone asked.
“Alright um….what’s with that one..TV dog turning into a complete lunatic? What's his name again? Is it..flash? Lightning?” Hades guessed.
“Bolt.” Persephone answered.
“Damn..alright. What's the deal with him? He seems to have some level of power in whatever this world is.” Hades said.
“The thing is..the tragic endings vary depending on the person. Some get killed or dies, while others face a far worse fate: Becoming the villain themselves. But not all villains succeed or get what they want, a few of them suffer like..Faciler, Edger and a few others including..”
“Me.” Hades says, cutting Persephone off. “So does the Underworld like..not exist? Does Olympus still exist?”
“I…I..don’t know. This is all I know. I know Maleficent is benefiting off of this.” Persephone said.
“Ah..of course she is.” Hades mumbled. “So..there's a lot unknown about the situation right now?”
At this point, Hades needed answers because it was clear to him this wasn’t a “villain of the week” situation like most of the villains on the Isle of the Lost. Collector finally reached the level most villains could only dream of - whether that was entirely on his own or if he had help was something he was questioning - and it was done.
“This..is kinda serious. Do we know if the spell can be UNdone?” Hades asked.
“I..I believe it can be undone by the wand but there is a time window. If the spell is not undone within three days by the moon sets the third night, the spell seals and this is the new Auradon.” Persephone explained.
“Oh shit. Uh..I heard enough. We should probably find Fairy Godmother or anyone else in charge. Persephone, right?” Hades asked. Persephone nodded. “My friends..call me Kore.” Hades nodded and started walking around with Persephone following behind. The group kept walking around when they looked up and saw a sun and moon themed castle standing where Belle and Beast’s castle usually does.
“That’s Collector’s castle?” Hades asked. Persephone nodded. Hades, mildly annoyed at this point, turned to Persephone. “Are you sure you want to confront him?”
Hades sighed, it is true he is risking his own life - which is saying something for a god - to confront Collector like this. “We need answers. I'm gonna find out what’s going on.” Hades said. Persephone once again nodded and followed slightly fearful. She had heard about what happened between the god of Death and the famous Hercules but she also had a tiny bit of admiration of him 
Hades pushed open the doors into the castle entering into a sparkly void with moons, suns and stars floating everywhere. Entering the room was like entering Space including a lack of gravity and neon colors shining bright.
“This is…interesting.” Hades mumbled as he tried to get to the next free hanging door while Persephone floated around a bit, vines sticking out of her back due to her nerves and stress. 
“You good?” Hades asked.
“I..I'm fine.” Persephone answered as she floated behind Hades. The two gods went through the next door which was a golden throne room with tall golden pillars holding up a painted curved ceiling with paints of Collectors on it. The glass windows showed a starry night and the ground had a blue and yellow carpet with stars and moons on it lead all the way to Collector’s throne.
“COLLECTOR!!” Hades shouted.
Collector, while sipping his coffee, turns to Hades. “Ah hello Hades. Welcome.”
“What the hell is any of this and why were we dragged into your issue??” Hades asked.
“My apologizes.I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Collector said, trying to play ignorant. 
“Don’t play stupid with us. Yeah we know you still have your memories. What the hell is this world and once again, why were we dragged into it??!” Hades asked again.  Collector was about to answer but then two guards walked in carrying a skinned Sully, dropping it before Collector and one of the guards took their helmet off revealing to be Lonnie. “Sir..Sully has been successfully killed and skinned.”
Persephone covered her mouth in shock and horror. Even Hades was surprised by how dark Auradon turned because of the spell. “Oh shit.” Hades mumbled.
“Put him in my bedroom, actually..mount him on my wall.” Collector ordered.
“Yes sir.” Lonnie nodded before she and an unknown other guard dragged Sully's skin away. Collector grabbed his apple martini and poured some red liquid into it.
“Um..what is that?” Persephone asked nervously. 
“Snow White’s blood. Yeah..her prince really failed her.” Collector sneered before taking a sip.
“Your anger wasn’t with those two. Neither of them have anything to do with your situation with the Boiling Isles.” Hades argued.
“Okay..AND?” Collector says, raising an eyebrow.
“So you're just casually punishing innocent people and forcing them to suffer?” Persephone asked with a slight hint of anger in her tone.
“I mean if it makes you feel better, I treat everyone equally.” Collector answered nonchalantly. 
“Kinda excessive but whatever.” Hades said sarcastically. Collector glared at him. “Like you’re any better? Conveniently left out the part you tried to kill your nephew and you want to stand here with the moral high ground? Oh the hypocrisy is funny isn’t it Hades?” 
Hades really wanted to argue and to completely snap, but he had to admit to himself deep down that it was true. 
“What happens now?” Hades asked.
“Hmm…That’s a good question. I guess we have two options. I can lock you up and throw you in a cage but that isn’t really fun or productive now is it?” Collector says “Here’s the deal. You are now in your domain so you can work for me.”
“Yeah..I don’t work or obey anyone. I'm the god of Death.”
“Oh you want to play this “god” card huh? Okay, I can play.” Collector asked before snapping his fingers making Hadie appear in bright blue chains.
“Hadie?!” Hades shouted.
“DAD!!!” Hadie shouted and tried to run to Hades but was held back by the chains.
“Is this really necessary?” Hades asked.
“Oh NOW you care about your child? It's interesting that you suddenly care after you abandoned him in the first place.” Collector sneered.
“Come on man, give us some leeway. Everyone calm down and let’s sit down like rational people and actually talk.” Hades suggested.
“Aww..cute.” Collector said before snapping his fingers again, this time making the chains float up dragging Hadie with it and wrapping him in the chains, choking him by the neck and burning his skin.
“AHH!!!!!!!!!!” Hadie screamed.
“Collector!! Please!! He’s just a kid!!” Persephone begged.
“Yeah well so was I when The Boiling Isles backstabbed me but Auradon never gave a shit about me then.” Collector replied as he continues to use his magic to harm Hadie. He squeezed his hand causing the chains to choke and burn Hadie harder which caused Hadie to scream louder.
“OKAY FINE!! I’ll do what you ask!! Just put him down.” Hades begged, it was the first time or seemingly the first time Hades has been in a genuinely vulnerable position. Yes, Hades did abandon his children but deep down he did care for both Mal and Hadie despite his hatred towards Maleficent. 
“Good choice.” Collector says before releasing Hadie, allowing him to cough and recover. Collector snapped magic restraining restraints on Hades and Persephone. The two had a star and a moon imprinted on it. “There we go. Now, under my leadership you will do exactly what I say. Guards!! Take these two to their prison cells. I will come get them when they are needed.” 
The guards lead Hades and Persephone to their dungeon. It was dark, dusty, had cracks in the stone walls, only had torches for light, and cobwebs could be found everywhere and there red spirals on the walls painted over the cracks. Hades and Persephone were thrown into a dark room with the door slammed shut behind them.
“Oh lovely..into another dark void. At least it feels like home.” Hades mumbled.
“HELLO??” Called out an unknown voice from the darkness. 
“Oh great, we have a prison cellmate.” Hades sarcastically said.
“Hello?” Persephone called back.
“Can you hear me?” The voice asked for everything to shine brightly. The lights shine revealing an endless forest with a dark gray sky and muddy ground with decaying trees. The voice is revealed to be a mermaid, red hair, tan skin, blue eyes. The mermaid strikingly looked like Ariel but male instead of female. His mermaid tail was chained to a tree with the same blue glowing chains that burnt Hadie.
“Ariel had a male twin?” Persephone whispered. 
“Who are you?” Hades asked.
“My name is Ariel.” Ariel answered. Hades at first was confused. Hades may not have known Ariel directly but he obviously knew what Ariel looked like, making him wonder if the reset created new versions of heroes. 
“You good?” This new Ariel asked.
“Um..yeah..You just look like someone I know. What are you doing down here?” Hades asked.
“Oh you know..typical reasons. Mermaid genocide, being singled out for a revolution, got captured by the guards, tortured by Collector, blah blah blah.” Ariel explained briefly, rolling his eyes while trying to hide his scars on his tail. 
“You poor thing..let me help you.” Persephone says as she gets close to the bruised teenage mermaid. Ariel, not sure what Persephone was doing, scooted away nervously. Persephone gently touched Ariel’s tail. “Hey..it’s okay. I’m not gonna hurt you.” 
“What are you gonna do? We can’t really do much with these on.” Hades pointed out.
“Just..please let me try.” Persephone said. Hades nodded and stood back. Persephone struggled to use her magic at first before slight sparks appeared, floating towards Ariel’s tail and healing him.
“Holy crap..so we can break through at least a little bit.” Hades mumbled as he looked around and started walking around this seemingly endless forest. Hades kept walking for a while in one direction before ending back up with the others coming from another direction. Hades then retraced his steps and ended up still back to where the others were from a different direction.
“What is this? I think I have a headache already trying to understand all this.” Hades said, rubbing his forehead.
“All of these rooms in the castle are like this, they give the illusion of being open and wide when reality its all fake.” Ariel explained.
“How do we get out?” Persephone asked before seeing a bunch of red swirls painted on the trees. 
Back to the VKS, the four began exploring this new Auradon some more noticing more of the residents either corrupted or struggling to live, some of which didn’t survive and their remains were wide open for everyone to view and exploit such as Snow White’s body parts being sold on the black market to cannibals, Anastasia and Drizella both in poverty, possibly abandoned by Tremaine who abandoned them and took of with the money after “dealing” with Cinderella, Hewy, Dewy and Louie all corrupted and others.
“The more we explore..the worst it gets.” Jay mumbles as he turns to see Carpet ripped to shreds and Abu crawling around without Aladdin. Jay shuddered, not wanting to know what happened to Al. “and he was so nice to me too..” 
“My heart hurts so much for everyone. I mean I know the Isle wasn’t a PERFECT solution and we did suffer in conditions similar to this for years but..this seems so much worse and I don’t think any of the heroes deserve this at all.” Evie spoke up, looking like she was about to cry.
“How the hell was Collector able to come up with a reality this freaking disturbing?” Carlos asked.
“Trust me..I wanna know that too.” Mal replied as she walked around and turned and saw Bolt, in full Calico armor walking with a bunch of human and dog guard with a crown on his head.
“Is that Bolt?” Evie asked.
“What the hell?” Mal mumbled.
“Sir, we posted a guard at every possible escape.There’s no way anyone will be able to leave.” One of the guard dogs reported to Bolt.
“Good.” Said Bolt. “I want to make sure that wand gets into my paw ASAP! I’m done waiting around. Persephone better follow through this time around.”
“And if she doesn’t?” The guard asked.
“Then I’m sure he would love another snack.” Bolt answered. “Report back to me when you hear from Persephone.” Bolt, using his eyes, opened up and green and black portal and walked into it. 
“So Bolt’s evil now?” Evie asked.
“E, half of Auradon’s residents are either evil or dead because of the spell.” Mal said. 
“We still need to come up with a plan on how to stop all this!” Carlos spoke up.
“Do you have any ideas of how to fix ANY OF THIS Carlos??!” Mal snapped before taking a deep breath. “Sorry..I’m just really stressed right now.”
“It’s okay. We all get it.” Carlos said.
The group kept walking until they passed by a glowing star, THE Wishing Star, still shining bright and one of the only Auradon characters that have not been changed in some way. 
“Thank god..its the wishing star. Hopefully we can get some answers.” Mal said. The group started walking towards Star and Star turned to the vks. He seemed to reconize them proving that he still had his memory. 
“Star?” Mal called out. Star shushed her.
“Mal..Not so loud.” Star whispered. “ I know the answers that you all are looking but we will need to look for a secret place before I could reveal them. Collector is currently sending his guards to look for me so we need to-”
“HEY!!! STAR!!! I FOUND HIM!!!!: One of the guards shouted.
“Oh great.” Star mumbled before sighing and blasting the guard in the eyes with magic.
“GAH!!!!!!!!!!!” The guard screamed causing the other guards in the area to turn to them.
“SEIZE THEM!!!” Another guard shouted.
Star surrounded him and the vks with golden magic and teleported the five of them away ending up in a abandoned warehouse far away from the city.
“We should be safe here. Its a good miles away from Collector’s kingdom.” Star explained.
“Okay..now that we are semi-safe can we finally get answers to what's going on and how to start it?” Jay asked.
“Yeah..what was Collector’s spell?” Evie asked.
“When Collector took Fairy Godmother’s wand, it created an alternate Auradon with its own history. In this timeline, all of the heroes lost, most villains got what they wanted and some characters ended up as completely different people.” Star said. 
“Wow..uh..is there a way to fix all of this?” Mal asked.
“Yes. We can take Fairy Godmother's wand and reset everything to as it was. But we must do it soon. If the spell isn’t casted by the sixth moon, the spell seals and this will be the new Auradon.” Star explained.
After walking through the Portal,  Bolt walked down a castle hallway with banners that have his signature Bolt symbol on it in black and green colors, green torches that acted as a source of light in the hallway, green and black striped wallpapers and carpet and a tall ceiling with green chandeliers. At the end of the hallway stood a large door with two guards guarding it. Upon seeing Bolt, the two guards moved to the side and opened the door for him. Bolt enters into darkness which slowly lights up when the flames on the wall torches ignited by itself revealing a beat up and chained Luz, her clothes torn, and her face with scratches and bruises on her. The rest of the room was filled with bones and blood, with Kings Skull sitting proudly on the podium before the teen girl. 
“I’m back.” Bolt said sneeringly. 
“What do you want??” Luz asked with a hint of anger in her tone.
“Why I wanted to see you again of course! Why wouldn't I visit my newest house guest? I know I've been busy but I do like giving you company now that your “family” is well..broken apart.” Bolt said, nudging to King’s skull and Eda’s broken staff with a smirk. 
“You took everything away from me.” Luz quietly said, staring daggers at Bolt.
Bolt shook his head. “No..No..Collector did that. Actually that brings me to the other reason why I’m here. I kinda need you to do something for me.” 
“I'm not doing anything for you!! LET ME GO!!!” Luz shouted.
“I’m sorry I forgot I gave you a choice! Oh wait I didn’t..” Bolt says before stomping on the ground causing Luz’s chains to glow green and to burn her. “AHH!!!!”
“Now listen to me Luz..I have been very nice to you. I could’ve had you executed like your pathetic friends. You were about to see the same fate as Eda and Gus and Willow and Hunter, man did that guy put up a fight heh, and King because wow that guy was annoying and..Amity.” Bolt said, looking straight at Luz’s eyes. Luz started to struggle more trying to get at Bolt the moment she heard him say “Amity”
“I’LL KILL YOU!!!!!” Luz screamed.
“Wow..and I thought I gave you mercy. Well..I guess I best be going. When you decide to get in line and to obey, I will be back..but until then and this is just purely for my enjoyment..” Bolt says before using his magic to burn Luz again. Luz screamed and cried as Bolt walked out of the room. The guards shuddered as Bolt walked out of the room and down the hallway chuckling to himself before passing by an old photo of him and Penny. 
Bolt felt nothing but contempt and zapped the picture with his laser eyes, burning it to ashes.  Bolt kept walking, trying to forget his past but the memories just kept flooding in. 
It was a sunny day in Los Angeles, Bolt was getting closer to reuniting with his owner and best friend in the world. Mittens slowly approaches a sleeping Bolt and wakes him up. 
“Hey Bolt! Wake up!” Mittens says quietly. Bolt slowly opens his eyes and looks up to Mittens. 
“Come on! I got a surprise for you! But you need to keep your eyes closed.” Mittens says as she begins to walk away. Bolt gets up and follows her out of the alleyway till the two reach a small house made of a box and pillows that Mittens had made for the two of them.
“Haha! Perfect baby!” Mittens says as Bolt starts getting nervous. It was true that Bolt started having feelings for Mittens but he was still determined to get back to Penny. 
“Mittens I-..uh” Bolt tried to speak but Mittens cut him off. “ Let me give you the grand tour. This one’s mine and this one is all yours. 
“Mittens..I..I.” Bolt continued to struggle to speak. He really didn’t want to break Mitten's heart but knew he had to break the news to her.
“Oh and I got this really soft pillow thing and got this I got some styrofoam and stuffed it in there which I thought was both creative and ironic. You know what I mean?”
“I don’t think that-”
“Can I…just be honest here? Like completely honest. I'm not sure one hundred percent this would be a good permanent home for us, if we decide to ever have kids or som-”
Bolt’s eyes widened and his face bushed and he smiled a bit. Bolt almost was tempted to leave behind his old life for this new possible new one but..he couldn’t get himself to.
“Alright too soon too soon. Im sorry..its..just..*walks over to Bolt* When we first met the only thing I wanted was to get away from you..but now I…I don’t know..I'm having this feeling about you that I haven’t felt in a long time..I..I think I love y-”
“Mittens, I can’t stay here.” Bolt interrupted. “We’re one waffle away from Penny.” 
“You’re still going back to her?” Mittens asked, slightly heartbroken.
“Mittens..she’s my person.” Bolt answers.
Annoyed, Mittens grabs Bolt by his ear and drags him to a nearby Billiton board.
“Ow! Ow! Ow! Ear! Ear! Ow..” Bolt shouted. Mittens finally lets go of Bolt and goes and sits in an abandoned car.
“Look at me Bolt. I’m real. How about this? Huh? Is that real to you?” Mittens asked and she started pointing out the details on the biliton board calling out what was real and what wasn’t till she finally gets to Penny. “How about this? She’s an actress. She’s just pretending.”
“Not Penny..” Bolt quietly said.
“There is no Penny. She’s fake.” Mittens said.
“No you're wrong! She loves me!” Bolt says louder, further into denial.
No Bolt! That's what they do! They act like they love you! They act like they’ll be there forever and then one day they pack up all their stuff and move away and take their “love” with them and leave their declawed cat behind to defend for herself?!!! YOU THINK HER LOVE FOR YOU IS MORE REAL THEN MINE HUH??” Mittens shouted as she started to cry. “Heh..I should’ve seen this a mile away…”
Bolt started to feel bad and reached out to Mittens but she backed away from him.
“I…I'm sorry Mittens. I really had no idea..I…Come with me. Penny will love you..Penny will love Rhino! You two can have the perfect life..We can still be a thing..” Bolt says softly but Mittens turns away from him. 
“No..we can’t Bolt. I'm not going through that pain again.. Never again…GO…if you love your precious oh so perfect red haired human so much!”
“I-” Bolt tried to speak but was interrupted by Mittens again. “GET OUT OF HERE BOLT!!! I should’ve never taken pity on you. I never wanna see you again…”
“But Mittens I-”
“JUST GET OUT OF HERE BOLT!!!” Mittens shouted one last time. 
Bolt finally got the hint and walked away and left. Bolt briefly considered saying by to Rhino but he didn’t want to see his friend upset so he just left and headed to Hollywood, specifically on  top of the hill by the Hollywood sign trying to find the studio when he was approached by a couple of pigeons, different ones then the ones he met in New York. 
‘No way! Wow! Bolt! I’m a big fan of yours brother! I;m Blake and this is my writing partner Tom. Say hello Tom.” Blake said, introducing himself and his friend.
“Sup.” Tom said.
Then a third bird flew to the group causing Blake and Tom to react with annoyance. Bolt was unsure what to do at this point considering he’s never experienced meeting fans before since as far as he knew at the time it was all real to him.
“Oh and this is our personal assistant Billy who was SUPPOSED to wait on the wire.” Blake said in  an annoyed tone looking directly at Billy.
“Bolt, I admired you for such a long time. The thing I always wanted to tell you if I ever got to meet you-” Billy was about to say more but was cut up by Blake.
“Okay Billy, that was horrifying what you just did. Why don’t you make yourself useful? Go get me some bread crumbs. WHOLE WHEAT IS NOT THE SAME AS WHOLE GRAIN BILLY!” Blake ordered. “Don’t come at me with whole wheat Billy!”
“Nor pomperpickle billy!” Tom added.
Bolt at this point was starting to grow a bit uncomfortable watching his fans fight over him and was itching to get back to finding Penny. “I’m sorry guys but I really gotta..”
“I know! I know you’re a busy dog but if you have a few more seconds we’d love to pitch you an idea for your show. Tom, would you care to take it from here?” Blake asked.
“Sure.” Tom said 
“Tom’s got this!” Blake shouted, excited.
“Wait for it..DEMONS!” Tom announced while Tom made an explosion noise.
“Demons?” Bolt asked, slightly interested.  
“Yeah so my pitch is basically for an October or Halloween season where maybe Dr. Calico is in kahoots with a demonic cult or something American Horror Story style. Audiences love supernatural thrillers but they also LOVE gore. The slasher community especially. Combine your TV Show with a demonic supernatural horror plot and add LOTS of gore for slasher fans and you are GOLDEN!” Tom explained. 
“We came up with a Name for this demon too! EVAN!” Blake added.
“Evan?” Bolt asked.
“Yep! He has a whole backstory of traveling through the multiverse and destroying each one for his own purposes! I think he would make a great villain for the show especially since Calico’s getting a little stale.” Tom said,
“And was the indirect cause of my mid-life crisis.” Bolt mumbled.
“So..what do you think?” Blake asked.
“Uh..I..I love it!  If you guys can help me find Penny, the girl from the show, I would like to hear more about this demon Evan pitch and I can probably somehow run it by the producers like a anonymous note or something.” Bolt said.
“This is our moment!” Blake said cheerfully.
“Don’t freak out, this is how you blew it with Nemo.” Tom said.
“Whose Nemo?” Bolt asked.
“Some fish whose father swam all the way to Australia to save him from a human. Yeah humans..they really don’t care about us animals. We’re like trophies to them.”
“Well..I mean to be fair not all humans are like that.” Bolt pointed out.
“But enough to definitely make you side eye the species as a whole through.” Blake mumbled.
“I mean..I'm not saying I didn't ever have bad experiences with humans..” Bolt says subtly referencing the Animal control patrols. “But..Penny is the best. I know she loves me.”
“But do you tho?” Tom asked.
It was at this point a seed of doubt was planted in Bolt’s mind. Sure Penny says and acts like she loves him but does she really? Bolt really hoped that regardless if some things were scripted or not that her love for him was real. Bolt tried very hard to be optimistic as the birds lead him to the studio. 
“I'm coming Penny.” Bolt thought to himself as he ran. Bolt also considered maybe he’d enjoy being a actor moving forward now that he “woke up” but on the other side of the spectrum Bolt began feeling a little bit of bitterness over the fact the team intentionally kept him in the dark (figuratively and literally) for so long but in Bolt’s mind Penny was innocent through all of it.
The birds lead Bolt through the city and the group finally got to Sovereign Entertainment, the studio that filmed the Bolt show. Bolt was finally back home after fighting tooth and nail trying to get back. 
“Thank you guys so much!! I will remember  the pitch.” Bolt said.
“Of course! It has been an honor meeting you Bolt!” Blake said before he and Tom flew away. Bolt walked into the gates and throughout the outside the studio eventually finding a door inside leading into an interior studio building. Bolt walked around, there were no actors or crew members there but he did pass by the two Calico cats.
“Oh hey guys!” Bolt said, smiling and walking past the now shocked cats.
“He’s back?? Where was he all this time?” Whispered the bigger and shorter cat.
“I dont’ know..” The taller and thinner cat replied.
Bolt found his trailer and entered it and laid down finally able to relax. To him, he finally returned home. Bolt’s face glowed up with joy when he heard a familiar voice.
“Bolt??” Penny called out. Bolt ran out of the trailer and saw Penny in the distance.
“Bolt! You’re okay! You came back!” Penny shouted. Bolt started running towards Penny and seemingly Penny was running to him until an identical dog ran to her and Penny approached that dog. Bolt completely froze, confused and upset as she put this other dog and treated him with the love she gave him.
“I thought I lost you!” Penny said, hugging the false dog. “You’re my good boy.”  Bolt finally broke down crying and ran off past the cats again who also saw the ordeal. 
“Dude..I am so sorry.” The tall cat said, looking genuinely remorseful.
“Are you okay?” The fat cat asked.
“Oh, it's fine. Its fine…I'm fine. The real question is why do YOU care?? Why after the years of you messing with me do you suddenly feel remorse now? Also you jut couldn’t tell me because that’d ruin your “fun” right??” Bolt sneered, growing more mad then he ever felt in his life even during filming.
“Bolt please! We..We’re sorry..” The tall cat apologized.
“Sorry?? SORRY!!?!!! My life was completely torn apart and ripped away from me since that red haired..plastic..fake got me from the animal shelter. All I wanted was to be happy and I was taken away from my parents to be used my entire life, lied to and then if that wasn’t bad enough, you assholes and to make my life even more of a living hell then it already was!!!” Bolt snapped/
“Bolt…Let us help you..please..” The tall cat said as he started walking to Bolt but Bolt backed up. 
“No..I think you idiots did enough damage as is.” Bolt said before running out of the studio and hiding in a corner. For the first time in his life, even compared to when he actually woke up, Bolt cried and completely had an emotional meltdown. After everything that he went through, Bolt finally gets home and discovers all of it was fake. 
“I should’ve listened to Mittens..I’m such a dumbass..” Bolt told himself as he laid down still crying, feeling hopeless and abandoned. 
Little did Bolt know that inside the studio tragedy would strike. After Bolt left the building, the scene ended and its revealed it was a scene in part one of the season finale.
“Okay people, let’s take it to stage seven and move it for year.” Mindy Parker said as she flipped through the pages looking visibly irritated. Gregory Nark, Penny’s agent, walked over to Mindy in a cheerful mood.
“Ay! How about that! Everything went well!” Gregory said, patting Mindy on the back. “Do we need to take Penny to Wardrobe for a outfit change?”
“I feel really bad..about the situation and that girl. If there was a way to bring her Bolt back, I would.” MIndy admitted, sounded like she was about to cry but pulled herself together. Gregory sighed. “I know..This is partially my fault..I should’ve let Penny just see him and calm him down and none of this would’ve happened.”
Mindy took a deep breath. “I think we’re gonna be okay. Nothing else can possibly go wrong right?”
“I wouldn't jinx it.” Gregory said.  
“HEY! Mindy from the Network! Time to go to scene seven!” The director shouted.
“Nate, are you gonna call me that every single damn time??” Mindy asked, slightly annoyed. 
“LETS GO MINDY FROM THE NETWORK! MY BUTT’S ON THE LINE!!” Nate shouted loudly where even Penny rolled her eyes and her mother side eyed him and Mindy due to how unprofessional both of them were behaving.
“I swear I am gonna lose it with that dick. He’s like a complete child.” Mindy mumbled.
“Lets..just get through this.” Gregory mumbled to Mindy. Mindy nodded. “You’re right.”
Mindy started to walk away when Penny’s Mom stopped her.
“Mindy?” Pennys Mom, Marissa, called out. Mindy turned around and faced Marissa. “Yeah?”
“Thank you for at least trying. You know how hard this is for my daughter.” Marissa thanked.
“Of course. I completely understand. Telling Penny we have to move on is so..difficult..I get it. I lost a cat too.” Mindy admitted. “Her name was Mittens and..she ran away. I assumed she was dead or someone took her and I moved on. As an animal lover I get what Penny is going through.” Mindy explained.
“We are in five people!!!” Nate shouted.
“OKAY NATE!!!!!!!” Mindy and Marissa both shouted annoyed. If there's one person the two women equally hated it was Nate. The team headed to the next scene and filmed a couple of more scenes before they filmed a scene in Dr. Calico’s lair.	The lair was decorated with ancient statues that looked like they are from some Mexican or Egyptian tomb and torches with real fire ignited onto them. Dr. Calico, played by Jarrden Mars, walked out of an elevator with his two cats, both are still feeling bad for Bolt, and started walking on the boardwalk where two guards stood by a chair in which Penny’s Father, played by Andrew Rollands, was strapped to.
“Ah Professor..I’d like to thank you for giving us access to youre librarian mind of yours.” Calico/Mars said leaning on the chair.
“You know I would never do such a thing.” Penny’s Father (Rollands) mumbled.
“Unless it was the only way to save youre little girl’s life!!” Marz said sinistarly as he adjusted Rollands chair to look up at Penny who was being hung up in the air.
“PENNY!!!!!!!” Penny’s Father shouted.
“Daddy!! BOLT!! HERE BOLT!!” Penny called.
“Your dog is nowhere near-” Mars’s line was cut when the Fake Bolt broke through the elevator and started barking.
“GET THAT DOG!!!!” Calico shouted. 
As some of the guards chased after the Bolt replacement, the small dog got scared and fell off of the platform and ran off accidently knocking down a torch starting a small fire. A Shadowy figure, a real one with glowing red eyes, appeared under the platform and started to purposefully spread the fire. 
“FIRE!!!!!!!! FIRE!!!!” A Crew member shouted.
“Wait..that wasn’t in the script!!” Penny shouted, confused.
“FUCK!!! SOMEBODY PUT IT OUT!!!” Mars shouted. 
The shadow cackling started to spread even more causing some of the set pieces to burn and the fire to increase. Mars and Rollands both ran out of the set.
“Somebody fucking call a ambulance and get Penny out of there before it gets worse!!!” Mars shouted. 
“I’m already on the phone with the fire department!” Said a female executive.
“What the hell is going on?!!” Nate shouted.
“If you actually were on the set you would know what happened!! Everyone evaluate now!! The fire department will get Penny.” Ordered Mindy. 
“What?? We’re still filming!! We are making art!!!” Nate shouted.
“HELLO?!!! GET BACK INTO REALITY!! EVERYONE’S LIVES ARE MORE IMPORTANT THEN YOUR STUPID ART!!!!” Nate shouted. “IF THE BOLT WAS ACTUALLY COMPETENT BECAUSE OF OUR METHODS DIDN’T RUN OFF NONE OF THIS WOULD’VE HAPPENED!!!”
Mindy ignored Nate and pulled the fire alarm and in masses everyone, humans and animals, left the building. Bolt finally stopped crying and rested on the ground feeling completely numb when he started noticing everyone leaving in a panic.
“What's going on?” Bolt asked.
“BOLT!!! BOLT!!” The tall cat (Zac) shouted as he and the fat cat (Josh) ran after Bolt.
“What are you guys doing out here? Aren’t you supposed to be filming?” Bolt asked.
“Bolt! The entire studio is on fire!!” Josh shouted.
“WHAT?!!!” Bolt shouted.
“Yeah during filming your replacement got scared by the actors playing the guards and ran off accidentally knocking down a torch that was lit with real fire and the fire quickly spreaded.” Zac explained.
“Is everyone out of there??!” Bolt asked, freaked out.
“Everyone except one!” Zac said. Bolt was unsure who this person was before he quickly and horrifyingly realized it was Penny. “Oh no..” Bolt ran as fast as he could to the main building on fire and managed to slide through a opening before it closed due to something falling on it. 
“Is anyone still in there?!” A paramedic asked.
“There’s a little girl, around 13-14 years old, hung up in the air due to filming. Red hair, pale skin. Her name’s Penny.” Mindy described growing more and more stressed.
“Have you seen my daughter?! Have you seen my baby?!!!” Marissa asked growing more and more panicked.
“M’am we are doing the best that we can. Please calm down!!” A Police officer explained.
“MY DAUGHTER’S IN A BURNING BUILDING!! DON’T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!!!” Marissa shouted.
Meanwhile inside Bolt started running and jumping over all the burning set pieces trying to find Penny and avoiding getting hurt. Penny was running and avoiding the set pieces and coughing up a storm growing more and more weak. After jumping onto some platforms, Bolt finally found Penny and barked to get her attention. Penny turned and saw Bolt barking for her.
“BOLT!!!!!” Penny shouted as she started running to Bolt and Bolt started running to her. The two eventually get to each other and hugged.”I knew you’d come back.” The two’s moment does not last for long as the set was still collapsing above them. Penny and Bolt started running away from the fire and the large pieces falling as fast as they could. Eventually Penny got to the exit but a piece fell onto Bolt trapping his body under massive set pieces. 
“NO!!!! NO NO!!! NO NO!!!” Bolt shouted which turned to barking for Penny. Bolt struggled with all his strength to get free but the pieces were heavy. Penny tried to get up to help but she kept collapsing but Bolt still had faith in her. With her eyes watering up, Penny turned to Bolt and shook her head.
“I’m sorry Bolt..You lived a great life. Thanks for everything.” Penny said before she used the little strength she had and got her way to the exit looking back at Bolt struggling one final time with remorse before going through the door. 
“UGH!! NO!!! PENNY!!!!!! PENNY PLEASE!!! PENNY?!! PENNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Bolt called out before a large piece of set on fire fell onto Bolt and everything went black.
For the longest time, all Bolt could see is black. He couldn’t move, see or hear anything. The very last thing Bolt saw was his best friend leaving him to die. The best friend he fought tooth and nail to get back to. The best friend that he watch hug a replacement of him. The best friend who never went back to see him after he freaked out that Calico “captured” her. All of Bolt’s hope faded away. Heartbroken, depressed but also angry. To Bolt it just wasn’t fair. Why did he have to die? Why did it have to be him?
Bolt kept thinking about these things until a light shined in his face. The fates had just cut his strings and now the souls of the damned have come to collect him. Bolt looked around, he was in a dark cave with spiky rocks and a stone table.
“Where am I?” Bolt asked himself.
The fates do not answer him and souls start surfacing from the ground and start grabbing at Bolt. “WAIT!! HEY?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING STOP!!!!” The souls grab ahold of Bolt and started to drag him down to the River Styx. Memories started flashing in front of Bolt of the studio burning and him dying. “NO!! STOP!! I’M NOT READY!! LET GO OF ME!!” Bolt squirmed and tried to break free but failed as the souls pulled him into the river. Despite this Bolt kept struggling. To the shock of the ghosts and the Fates, Bolt’s soul was still strong headed and refusing to accept death.
“What witchcraft is this?! We cut Bolt’s string but it seems as if his soul is still fighting to live.” Lachesis asked.
“This is an odd situation. But alas, I can assure you he will lose his energy to fight eventually. He will give up, Im sure of it.” Atropos said.
As the deities argued over Bolt, the mysterious shadowy figure revealed himself to be a young person with pale skin, red/blonde hair, blue eyes and wearing black and red gloves, cape and armor. 
“Ladies..I will handle this.” The unexpected visitor said, smirking.
“Who are you stranger!?” Clotho asked.
“Explain yourself!!” Lachesis shouted.
“Or answer to Lord Hades!” Atropos added.
The figure laughed and smirked looking at the fates. “Hades will not be a problem and neither will you.” The figure snapped his fingers and turned the fates into dust. The figure walked down the staircase leading into the room of River Styx where Bolt was in, still struggling.
“HELP!! SOMEBODY PLEASE!! GET OFF ME!!!” Bolt screamed.
The figure smirked and floated down to the river stepping in it with ease. The souls shived and made way for him to be confused. The souls did not question the how or why, they just obayed. Once the figure got to Bolt, he grabbed his collar and pulled him out of the river. Bolt took a second.
“You..You saved me.” Bolt said quietly, still trying to calm down.
“Indeed I did. I couldn’t just watch a poor helpless dog suffer in that dreadful river.” The person, secretly known as Evan, said, turning to wave to the river with a smirk on his face. The souls shuddered in fear. “Quite the show that happened ey Bolt?”
“Wait..how do you know my name?” Bolt asked.
“Well..marketing shoved your name everywhere they could.” Evan said.
“Ah. Wait..where am I? Why am I here?” Bolt asked. 
“I hate to say this but you are dead.” Evan said. 
“What?? I…I..I thought I…” Bolt was confused but then red clouds with flashbacks to the studio fire. Bolt started to breathe heavily and cried when the moment Penny leaving him to die showed.
“Hm..some human isn’t she?” Evan remarked.
“I..I thought she loved me!! We were so close..I traveled across the country to get back to her..I saved her life!!” Bolt cried. Evan knelt down and started petting.
“I’m afraid that your sacrifice was in vain. You see your love for Penny was real but was her love for you real? I don’t think so.” Evan said. Bolt rested his head on Evan’s lap and continued crying.
“I know..I know.” Evan says, petting Bolt’s back.
“How long was I..passed out?” Bolt asked.
“The underworld has no passage of time but in the world of the living you were roughly dead for..3 or 4 months.” Evan explained.
“What?” Bolt asked, shocked.
“I should probably show you what has happened in the aftermath of your…tragic demise..Shall I?”  Evan asked. Bolt nodds and Evan summons more visions using his red magic showing a fully recovered Penny at home with her mother and Bolt’s shock Penny and Rhino.
“Wha..what are they doing there??” Bolt asked, growing angry.
“Penny quickly found them after the fire and took them in.The irony of Mittens being so hellbent on being anti-owner but willingly going in with the girl you loved the moment you are out of the picture.People and animals truly do show their true colors.” Evan said.
“I…I thought she loved me!! Mittens loved me!! WE COULD’VE BEEN TOGETHER!!!? Heh..I shouldn’t really be surprised really, since she tried hitting me with a baseball bat when we first met..” Bolt said letting out a small growl.
Evan smiles. “Would you like to go back to the mortal world to bring karma back to bite those who have hurt you.”
“Fuck it. I’m done being nice. I’m taking my life back.”
Evan showed Bolt everything, from how the adults were exploiting Bolt to how Mittens ultimately ended up with.
Bolt - So this is love..so this is love..
Evan smiled and stomped on the ground surrounding the two of them in red smoke and teleporting them to the world of the living, starting with the studio which has been repaired.
Bolt - So this is what makes life define..Heh..Put on a show, dance nice and slow, stood toe to toe
Bolt walked through the studio causing looks of confusion and shock from the humans and animals on set.
“Is that Bolt?”
“He can’t be! He died months ago!”
“What is going on??”
As Bolt walked, a green fire ignited every few steps behind him. The studio crew panicked and Bolt had a smirk on his face.
“FIRE!!!”
“Not again!!”
“Somebody get Mindy!!!”
Bolt - and watch them as they all fall in line!Watch them fall
In line!!
You earned their trust, watch them blush
Lie just enough..
“Hey ladies.” Bolt said smoothly winking at the group of female dogs nearby.
Bolt - SO THIS IS LOVE!!! THIS IS LOVE!!! THIS IS LOVE!!!!!
Bolt superbarked in real life and destroyed the entire wall showing into a shooting set. “Dang..I have these powers now. Nice.” Bolt walks into the studio to the shock of everyone who was arround during the studio fire.
“What in the world is happening??” Mindy asked.
“Uh Mindy? You might want to take a look at this..” Gregory said, redirecting her attention to a new alive and powerful Bolt.
“What the hell?!!” Mindy shouted.
The more Bolt walked, the bigger of a trail the green fire left with souls from the river Styx crawling out of the fire and started terrorizing the staff.
“WHAT IS HAPPENING?!!!” Josh shouted.
“I don’t know! These souls attacking us were not in the script!” Zac said.
“Hi guys..miss me?” Bolt asked, leaning on the wall smirking. The two backed up freaked out. “I..I thought you were dead!”
“Yeah but staying dead was kinda boring so I came back.”
Bolt - If this is love then I decline..*stomps on the ground and sending a green crack over the two cats and trapping them in a cocoon that started to suffocate the two cats with toxic air)
“Please tell me I’m dreaming..please tell me I’m dreaming..please tell me I’m dreaming..” Mindy kept telling herself before Bolt walked over to her.
“Oh hi Mindy..how are the ratings? Was exploiting and throwing an innocent dog to the side worth it for your team?” Bolt asked mockingly.
“How the fuck are you alive AND talking?!!” Mindy asked freaked out.
“Nice to see you too..” Bolt mumbled. “Well..Mindy today’s your lucky day..do you remember saying that if the show doesn’t do well you would fire everyone? That won’t be necessary because I will fire them for you.”
Bolt stomped on the ground making five-ten employees appear strapped on a pole burning in the green fire as the souls ate pieces of them. The employees screamed in agony and Bolt walked away laughing, leaving Mindy horrified.
Bolt - Midnight arrives, lost your disguise, ran out of time..
Must hurt to sit there lost and confined!
OOOHHH
Bolt enters the main set where all the actors are with an army of souls behind him, “My my..everyone’s here! Perfect!”
“BOLT?!!!!!” Penny shouted. 
Mindy ran into the room as quickly as possible. “Bolt!! Let us go! Please!”
“Aww..Its too late for that. Its four months too late for that.” Bolt said, for the first time in a while feeling a sense of joy.
“You can talk?” Penny asked.
“You can backstab?” Bolt asked, raising an eyebrow. 
“What are you talking ab-” Penny was about to finish before Bolt cut her off. “YOU KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!!! After everything I went through for you, you just..let me die in that fire. Well..I’m just here returning the favor.”
“BOLT STOP!!!” Rhino shouted.
“AS FOR YOU-” Bolt used his paw to fling Rhino against the wall. “Ow..” Rhino groaned.
“RHINO!!!” Mittens rushed over to help him. 
“Bolt, leave them alone!” Penny shouted. “Listen if you want to take your anger out on me! Mittens and Rhino have nothing to do with this.”
“Oh really now?” Bolt asked sarcastically. “I didn’t know.”
“Aww...What's wrong Mittens? Cat got your tongue or is your hypocrisy too strong it’s preventing you from defending yourself?” Bolt sneered.
“Bolt I know it looks really bad but trust me..its not what it looked like.” Mittens said.
“You are not gonna tell me what I saw!!!” Bolt shouted.
Bolt - So here’s my deal..royal appeal to see you kneel..No really. Kneel.
Bolt stomped on the ground and used his new found powers to physically force everyone to bow before him except for Penny. Bolt lifted her up in the air and started a fire from his back spreading to the rest of the studio. The humans squirmed to break free to get away but Bolt held them in place.
Bolt - SO THIS IS LOVE?! THIS IS LOVE!!!! THIS IS LOVE!!
I WILL NOT BE MADE A FOOL OF!
YOU’LL REGRET THE DAY YOU LEFT ME!!
YOU NEED A VILLIAN? WELL I’M HAPPY TO FILL IN! 
NOW YOU KNOW WHO THE PRAY IS!!!!!
The fire quickly spread across the studio, burning most of the staff to death as the spirits ate away at their souls while they screamed in agony. Set pieces and parts of the building started to catch on fire and fall like before but this time Bolt had a protective shield around him. Mittens, Rhino, Zac and Josh tried running away but Bolt used his magic to hold all of them in place. Bolt smirked and looked at the panicked animals. “I don’t think so.” 
Bolt flinged them into the green fire with the spirits reaching out from the fire and dragging them into the underworld. With most of the humans dead and the animals dealt with, Bolt turned to address Penny one last time.
“This thing you call love, yeah I’m kinda over it.” Bolt said before using his superbark to destroy everything nearby. Penny screamed in agony before exploding from the superbark and everything crumbled and turned to black.
