Upon seeing them emerge all dressed up like that, everyone, especially Laylamon, became impressed)
Laylamon: Oh, Dorothy, everyone!
Elsa: (Admiring Dorothy's group's outfits) You look fantastic in those outfits.
Laylamon: (Agreeing happily) Like she said.
Megara: (Agreeing proudly) And we sure did a heck of a good job on your outfit design tastes.
Rarity: (Proudly gesturing to herself and the Mane Eight in agreement) With most of me and my friends' help, of course.
Dorothy's group except Rarity: (Proudly agreeing) Yep. (Indeed.)
(Then they all resumed business)
Laylamon: (Changing the subject) Anyway, I do wish I could assist in the mission, but.... (Proudly salutes) Duty calls.
(The expedition going to the Fourth Realm, consisting Dorothy, Davis, Popple, and Michael D'Amico's groups, Fat Tony's gang, the Four Realms allies, Mickey, Hercules, Megara, and Elsa, saluted back to her and the other Four Realms residents)
Expedition: (Saluting) Right! (Understood!)
Megara: (Shrugs happily and casually) And besides, we have our (Flexes her left arm a bit) tippy-top-top-notch handpicked soldiers such as some of us to protect us and each other.
Hercules: (Nods in agreement, placing his hand gently on Megara's left shoulder, which she lets him) That's true.
(Then Dorothy and Laylamon shook hands)
Laylamon: Good luck, my brave girl and her family and friends. Adieu.
Dorothy: (While she and Laylamon end their goodbye handshake) Thank you.
(Then with that, Laylamon returned to inside of the castle while the expedition prepared themselves with supplies for their mission. Then Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum approached Dorothy's group as they climbed onto their own horses, with Davis and Veemon both climbing on Maximus' back)
Tweedle-Dum: (Clears his throat) You're most gracious majesties....
Tweedle-Dee: (Confused) Why do you talk like that? They don't mind just being called by their names.
Tweedle-Dum: (Understanding) Contrariwise, their names are also accountable for their titles.
Knuckles: (Somewhat impatient) Will you just get it off of your chests please?
Shadow: (Agreeing) We have a mission.
Fat Tony: (Agreeing) And a hurry.
(Realizing, Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum proceeded their request)
Tweedle-Dee: We wish to say this.
Tweedle-Dum: We're volunteering for the mission.
Tweedle-Dee: Contrariwise, this mission is important to us that we, too, will volunteer.
Expedition: (Curiously) Really?
Tweedles: Yep!
Tweedle-Dee: And we're trained killers!
(He pulls a knife out, much to everyone's surprise, but then he and Tweedle-Dum got reassuring)
Tweedle-Dee: (Bending the knife's blade, revealing that it's rubber) No worries, it's rubber.
Tweedle-Dum: (While Tweedle-Dee finished bending the rubber knife's blade) Our real ones are in our sheaths.
(The expedition then got relieved)
Expedition: (Relieved) Oh, okay. (good.)
(Then the Tweedles showed off their knife trick together with the rubber knife, showing off their skills, impressing everyone. Then they briefly stopped to look at us readers)
Tweedle-Dum: (To us readers) For those watching this, don't try this at home, we're professionals.
Tweedle-Dee: (To us readers, agreeing) Contrariwise, we're the professionals, so don't try any of this if you're amateurs.
(Then they resumed their knife tricks again. After that's done, the expedition gave in)
Expedition: All right.
Wendy: You may accompany us.
Tweedles: (Happily while Tweedle-Dee puts his rubber knife away) Thank you!
(Then they seated onto their own horses with their own brief honks. Then Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy proceeded to bark out the orders)
Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy: Attention!
(The expedition then prepared themselves as the drawbridge was opened to the direction of the Fourth Realm)
Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy: Squad march!
(Then with that, the expedition marched ahead to the Fourth Realm, nervous, but determined, to accomplish their mission to find Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy's key and find and rescue Mephiles, return to the castle, and stop Rasputin's group and this Hardscrabble's group from taking over the Four Realms. Upon entering the Fourth Realm, the expedition cautiously walked around, staying together, on the lookout for each other, keeping each other safe, and on alert. Unknown to the expedition, Meowth and his family, as well as some of the mice-like Pokemon, while well hidden, watched them, realizing they have arrived, apparently to come for the key. Even Pikachu secretly peeked from beneath the ground nearby to watch. With the expedition, they are still walking and in alert)
Charmy: (To the Tweedles, whispering) Remember your training, guys.
Tweedles: (Whispering, agreeing) Aye, stay alert.
Fife: (Whispering) What about you, Charmy?
Popple: (Whispering) Aren't you alert?
Charmy: (Whispering) A little, but I'm also scared.
(Then the expedition stopped walking upon coming upon an entryway in the form of an entrance archway resembling that of a jester doll. Even Quackerjack gave a deep exhale, calmly nervous. John and Michael noticed)
Michael: (Whispering) Are you alright, Quackerjack?
John: (Whispering) Something bothering you?
Quackerjack: (Whispering) No, Michael. And John, this was my old home, but....
(But John reassured him)
John: (Whispering) It's alright, old chap. We'll save it.
Michael: (Whispering in agreement) And set things right.
(Quackerjack became assured and confident slowly)
Quackerjack: (Whispering) You know what? You're right.
(Then Dorothy and Wendy called out to them and everyone else in front)
Dorothy: What's going on up there?
Wendy: Why have we stopped?
(Then they, along with Dorothy's group, realized why. Everyone else is a bit nervous due to a huge thick fog surrounding the area beyond the archway)
Alice: (Reassuringly) Come on, everyone! It's just a big of fog beyond here.
Twilight Sparkle: (Agreeing) We need to keep on our toes.
Pinkie Pie: (Agreeing) Stay calm.
Rainbow Dash: (Agreeing) And not panic.
(Suddenly, they heard a familiar sinister male voice calmly calling out to Dorothy's group)
Rasputin: (Voice-over, sinisterly) Dorothy's group....
(Then the expedition got a bit nervous)
Veemon: (Whispering, calmly nervous) Uh, can we panic a little bit?
Rainbow Dash: (A bit uneasy) Okay, not completely panic, that is.
Veemon: (Calming himself, knowing Rainbow Dash is right) Okay. We're good.
(Then the expedition gathered their nerve up calmly, and cautiously entered through the archway. Then they stopped again upon hearing Rasputin's group's voices speak up again)
Rasputin's group: (Voice-over, sinisterly) Dorothy's group....
(Getting determined, Dorothy's group climbed off of their horses and gently took their own horses' reins. Then they, along with their expedition, cautiously entered even more. Then a nearby tree was blasted down by a magic blast, which then crashed down nearby the expedition, making them jump in startlement and shock. Afterwards, they recovered and then, they spot something approach them slowly in a menacing way from the fog)
Rasputin's group: (Sinisterly) Dorothy's group.
(Then on cue, Toto, Nana, Dinah, and Cookie briefly and respectively growled and hissed a bit and Cookie puts his dukes up in determination at Rasputin's group as they emerged completely with evil smirks, and no sign of Mephiles)
Rasputin: (Chuckles evilly a bit) So, you're the daughters and sons of Mary Darling, the former queen.
Krang: Apparently, apples never fall far from the tree.
Uka-Uka: Indeed.
(Dorothy's group gripped each of their own sword handles in determination slowly in suspicion)
John: So what if are?
Alice: Now where is Mephiles?
Wendy: And, without a doubt, you must be Rasputin and his group.
Shredder: (Sarcastically) You catch on really good. (Seriously, chuckles evilly a bit) And you are such fools for coming here again.
Dorothy: We came to take back what's rightfully ours.
Cortex: Our guess; That key, right?
Rasputin: Well, let's see if you can accomplish it.
(Then with that, Rasputin's group started to vanish into a dark portal. Dorothy shouted out to them)
Dorothy: Wait! Where are...?!
(But too late, Rasputin's group and the portal they vanished in were gone. Then after a brief silence, a brief rustling noise was heard and they turned to find that one soldier of theirs was gone suddenly, much to their concern and suspicion that they kept their guard up. Then suddenly, three more soldiers dropped down three separate small hole that appeared beneath their feet. Realizing it's the mouse-like Pokemon doing this, the expedition armed themselves and got ready while Hercules, Megara, Popple and Michael D'Amico's groups, and Fat Tony's gang suddenly retreated in determination, much to the expedition's shocked notice)
Twilight Sparkle: Wait, where...?!
(Then another small hole appeared and another soldier dropped down)
Davis: (Barking orders to the soldiers) Gather at the carousel!
Tink: And fast!
(They run up onto a nearby carousel and they couldn't see anything due to the fog and darkness. Then Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy noticed a power grid to the carousel)
Dorothy: We can't fight what we can't see.
Alice: Agreed.
Wendy: We need light.
(Then Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy turned the lights of the carousel on, brightening the area. Then on cue, the horde of mice-like Pokemon appeared and charged right underneath the carousel)
Michael: Why are they going underneath?
(Then they noticed that the carousel they're standing on is starting to crumble and they immediately realized; The mice-like Pokemon are burying it from beneath)
Thunderlane: Does that answer your question?
Michael: Yeah.
(Then they all retreated from the collapsing carousel)
Veemon: Move it, move it!
(They then proceeded to run until suddenly, another hole appeared beneath Dorothy's sibling group's feet, making them almost fall in when they grabbed onto the hole's edge to hang on. On cue of that, the soldiers that got dropped into their holes were shot out onto the ground. Seeing Dorothy's sibling group in danger, Davis' group, Elsa, and the rest of Dorothy's group rushed to the Darling siblings' aid)
Dorothy and Davis' groups and Elsa: Dorothy, guys!
Dorothy's sibling group: Davis, guys!
(They grabbed each other's hands as Dorothy and Davis' groups and Elsa tried to pull Dorothy's sibling group out of the hole, but the horde of mice-like Pokemon, including Meowth's group, appeared from within the hole and began to drag Dorothy's sibling group downward, apparently to take them to this Hardscrabble's group)
Arthur/Wart: Hang on!
(But the mice-like Pokemon and cat-like Pokemon's surprise strength got the better of them and they dragged Dorothy's sibling group down the hole)
Dorothy and Davis' groups and Elsa: Guys!
(In the hole, the mice-like Pokemon and cat-like Pokemon dragged Dorothy's sibling group all the way through)
Dorothy's sibling group: Let go of us! (Let go!) (Unhand us!)
Meowth: And this time, we're going to Hardscrabble's!
(Back at the surface, Davis' group, the rest of Dorothy's group, and Elsa got determined and proceeded to climb down the hole to go after Dorothy's sibling group, the mice-like Pokemon, and cat-like Pokemon)
Davis' group: Dorothy, (Alice,) (Wendy,) guys, we're coming for you!
Dorothy's group and Elsa: Hang on!
(Back in the tunnel, the mice-like Pokemon and cat-like Pokemon continued to drag Dorothy's sibling group through until they reached the other side, and the mice-like Pokemon and cat-like Pokemon dropped Dorothy's sibling group on the ground as soon as they popped up to the surface. Then the mice-like Pokemon and cat-like Pokemon scattered away as Dorothy's sibling group recovered. Then Hercules, Megara, Michael D'Amico and Popple's groups, and Fat Tony's gang arrived, having spotted them somehow)
Bushroot: Dorothy, guys!
(Then as soon as Hercules, Megara, Michael D'Amico and Popple's groups, and Fat Tony's gang reached the recovered Dorothy's sibling group, something picks Dorothy up by the back of her tunic, lifting her up into the air. It was the female jester-shaped mechanical tent-like fortress that Dorothy and Davis' groups encountered yesterday, and its fingers have lifted Dorothy up to its face to speak to her)
Female voice: (Voice-over) Well, if it isn't Dorothy Gale and her siblings. My group and I have been expecting you.
Dorothy: (In determination) My siblings, friends, and I have come to reclaim what you've taken from me and me and my siblings' mother, and that is mine, Alice, and Wendy's key. As well as rescue....
Female voice: (Voice-over, cutting Dorothy off) Please, come in.
Male voice: (Voice-over) And watch your step.
(Then the fortress gently lowered Dorothy to the tent flap doors of its fortress and gently flung Dorothy inside of it, through said flaps. The rest of the others ran inside after her. As Dorothy recovered, Toto and Cookie rushed up to her and Toto licked her a bit, as if checking to see if she's alright, which, to his and even everyone else's relief, she is as she recovered. Suddenly, the non-talking animals growled a bit in alert and suspicion at something in front of everyone. They were a bunch of male clowns with very pale skin, short white hair, black-pupiled eyes, and wearing red, blue, and golden yellow Napoleon Bonaparte-esque hats, red and blue long-sleeved shirts with white court ruff-esque sleeve rims and a white court ruff-esque neck rim, a red, blue, and golden yellow striped sleeveless, ruffled tunic with red and blue pom-poms on the front, red and blue knee-length ruffled pants, white stockings, and red and blue flat shoes with red and blue pom-poms. Hercules, Megara, Michael D'Amico and Popple's groups, and Fat Tony's gang recognized them in determination)
Michael D'Amico and Popple's groups, Fat Tony's gang, Hercules, and Megara: The Polichinelles!
(Then the Polichinelles began to perform some acrobatic circus skills, as well as their acrobatic nesting doll techniques, as they danced around Dorothy's sibling group and Hercules, Megara, Michael D'Amico and Popple's groups, and Fat Tony's gang backed off, as if looking for a way to get themselves and Dorothy's sibling group to this Hardscrabble's group)
Polichinelle 3: Whee!
Polichinelle 1: Dorothy Gale, lovely Dorothy Gale, siblings, and friends.
Polichinelle 2: Little Princess Dorothy and Princess and Prince Siblings.
Polichinelle 3: They look like geese!
(Then the first Polichinelle bounced Wendy down to the ground with his belly, causing Wendy to recover upon being knocked down)
Polichinelle 2: What a clumsy thing, Wendy is.
(Then the second Polichinelle split himself in half, nesting doll style, and crawled towards Wendy, who recovered immediately and backed up to Dorothy's sibling group, who are trying to fend off the Polichinelles. Then the fourth Polichinelle tripped Alice, causing her to fall backwards)
Polichinelle 4: Look out!
(The Polichinelles giggled a bit, and then Alice, upon recovering, immediately, along with Rarity who helped her more, kicked the fourth Polichinelle right into the other Polichinelles, but they bounced into each other in recovery. Then Hercules, Megara, Michael D'Amico and Popple's groups, and Fat Tony's gang retreated to the center column with a carousel-like elevator while Dorothy's sibling group got surrounded by the Polichinelles, who formed themselves into a circle)
Polichinelle 2: Where would you like to go in here?
Polichinelle 1: Don't leave so soon.
(Then the Polichinelles lead Dorothy's sibling group towards the elevator where Hercules, Megara, Michael D'Amico and Popple's groups, and Fat Tony's gang are at)
Polichinelle 3: Step right this way.
Polichinelle 2: We have a surprise for you.
(Then the Polichinelles stepped aside merrily and then a familiar invisible figure approached Dorothy's sibling group, carrying a baton. Dorothy's sibling group, Hercules, Megara, Michael D'Amico and Popple's groups, and Fat Tony's gang immediately realized who that invisible figure is, but before they could react, the invisible figure materialized to visibility, apparently revealing to be Randall, and then Randall immediately pushed Dorothy's sibling group onto the elevator with his baton)
Randall: Have a seat.
(Then the fifth Polichinelle flipped a nearby switch, and the elevator went up, spinning around the pole, heading to the second floor)
Polichinelle 2: (Merrily bidding the group goodbye with his comrades) Bon voyage, everyone!
Polichinelle 4: (Merrily bidding the group goodbye with his comrades) Adios!
(Then the elevator stopped upon reaching its destination on the second floor, making Dorothy's sibling group, Hercules, Megara, Michael D'Amico and Popple's groups, and Fat Tony's gang disembark immediately, and then they see Randall arrive swiftly)
Randall: Told ya to watch your step.
(Then he vanished into thin air. Suspicious, Dorothy's sibling group, keeping their guard up, looked around cautiously, when they spotted a familiar object hanging on a nearby chandelier. It was the key. But before Dorothy could grab it....)
Female voice: (Voice-over) Hands off, young lady!
Male New Yorker voice: (Voice-over) What are you doing?!
(Then Dorothy's sibling group, Hercules, Megara, Michael D'Amico and Popple's groups, and Fat Tony's gang, upon hearing the voices, turned to their sources, and emerging from behind a curtain were not only Randall, but also three more figures. The first figure is a female medium burnt orange centipede-like monster with a medium burnt orange star-shaped crest with seven points, a dark burnt orange shell on her back containing a pair of dark burnt orange dragon-like wings, a pair of twelve medium burnt orange centipede-like legs, two arms with three fingers and a thumb on each hand, light amber eyes, and wearing black mascara, burgundy eyeshadow, red lipstick on her lips, red nail polish on her nail claws, a white long-sleeved ruffled business shirt with a high collar, and a dark burgundy long-sleeved business suit with three light orange buttons going down the front. She is Dean Abigail Hardscrabble, the former Regent of the Fourth Realm AKA the Land of Amusements, who was, as mentioned by everyone earlier, claimed to be a traitor to the Four Realms. The second figure is a male medium-sized green orbed monster with two tiny stubby white horns on each side on the top of his head/body, one huge white eye with a blue pupil, a mouth below his eye, and long skinny arms and long skinny legs. He is Mike Wazowski, the one with the male New Yorker voice, and Hardscrabble's assistant besides Randall. And the last figure is a big tall male behemoth-like monster with light blue fur with purple spots all over, a pale blue underbelly, blue eyes, two small horns on his head, a dark blue nose, a small dinosaur-like tail, and small white claws on his fingers and toes. He is James P. Sullivan AKA Sulley, Mike's best friend and Hardscrabble's other assistant besides Randall. As they appeared, Hardscrabble and Randall are the only ones looking determined while Mike and Sulley are the only ones having somewhat determined, yet what appears to be concerned, looks)
Mike: (Enunciating) Don't, touch it.
(Dorothy's sibling group immediately realized who they are)
Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy: You're Dean Abigail Hardscrabble.
Rarity: Along with Randall Boggs, Mike Wazowski, and James P. Sullivan.
John: We were told who you are.
Hardscrabble: (Glaring sternly in suspicion) And you're Queen Mary's daughters and sons, apparently.
(Then Randall pulled a nearby rope pulley and the key dropped in Hardscrabble's hand, which she then grabbed it)
Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy: Yes.
Hardscrabble: Now, what business brings you to the Fourth Realm?
Sulley: Don't you know it's dangerous here lately?
(Dorothy's sibling group backed away a bit in determination)
Dorothy: We've come to get what belongs to me, Alice, and Wendy.
Alice: (Eyes the key in Hardscrabble's hand) That key.
Wendy: So, please, hand it over.
(Hardscrabble's group got confused before Hardscrabble and Randall got suspicious)
Randall: If this key belongs to anyone....
Hardscrabble: It belongs to your mother.
(She slowly approached Dorothy's sibling group, who backed away in determination even more)
Michael: No, it doesn't.
Dorothy: She left it for me, Alice, and Wendy.
John: It's true.
Hardscrabble: Why would she give it to you?
Dorothy: Our mother, she....
(Then she stopped herself in an indignant way and resumed her stance)
Dorothy: Does it matter?!
Alice: Just give us the key!
Wendy: Right now!
(Suddenly, they heard guns clicking, and they slowly turned, and saw it was Fat Tony's gang, reluctantly with stern angry looks, aiming their guns at Dorothy's sibling group, much to their shock. Even Megara, Hercules, and Michael D'Amico and Popple's groups are reluctantly aiming their weapons at them)
Rarity: (Shocked) What?
John: What are you doing? Why...?
Fat Tony: Just do what Hardscrabble's group says.
Megara: We don't want to hurt you.
(Shock slowly turning to anger, Dorothy's sibling group immediately realized)
Dorothy: So, you secretly betrayed the Four Realms!
(Shocked at such an accusation with his gang, Megara, Hercules, and Michael D'Amico and Popple's groups, Fat Tony then got angry)
Fat Tony: "Betrayed?!"
Louie: What do you know about us?!
Sulley: We're asking you to deliver the key to Mary!
Dorothy: We can't.
Fat Tony: Why not?!
Megara: (Answering quickly) Because she's gone.
(Everyone stopped in confusion upon hearing Megara say that. Then realizing along with Hercules and Popple's group, Dorothy's sibling group finally revealed it)
John: You don't know yet.
Legs: Know what?
Dorothy's sibling group, Megara, Hercules, and Popple's group: She had passed away.
(Hearing those words, Hardscrabble and Michael D'Amico's groups and Fat Tony's gang became shocked on those news, for they didn't know up until now)
Hardscrabble: (Shocked) Queen Mary is dead?
Fat Tony: (Shocked, then stunned) "Dead?" We didn't....
Dorothy: (Angrily cutting him off) As if you care!
Wendy: You're trying to help Rasputin's group and their army destroy everything our mother ever created.
(Outside the tent, Davis' group, Elsa, and the rest of Dorothy's group arrived out of the hole, and then after breaking into the tent with Peter's dagger cutting through the cloth, they spot the Polichinelles standing at the pole, as if watching the interaction between Dorothy's sibling group, Hardscrabble, Michael D'Amico, and Popple's groups, Fat Tony's gang, Hercules, and Megara from below. Then the Polichinelles noticed Davis' group, Elsa, and the rest of Dorothy's group and then began dancing around with their circus techniques. Noticing this from above upon hearing the commotion, the "Confrontation" resumed)
Rarity: Look what you've done to your own realm.
Dorothy: You've helped Rasputin's group and their army ruined it.
Hardscrabble: (Shocked and aghast) "Ruined it?"
(Below, Davis' group, Elsa, and the rest of Dorothy's group are fighting against the Polichinelles, who are making mischief with them. The first Polichinelle jumped on Davis and covered his eyes, making the nutcracker boy struggle to get him off with his group's help)
Davis: Dorothy!
(Dorothy's sibling group, upon hearing this with Hardscrabble, Michael D'Amico, and Popple's groups, Fat Tony's gang, Megara, and Hercules, immediately noticed a lever nearby the circus organ upon noticing their "Enemies'" distraction, and Dorothy immediately pulled the lever, making the platform move a bit, making Hardscrabble, Michael D'Amico, and Popple's groups, Fat Tony's gang, Megara, and Hercules almost lose their balance, and Hardscrabble dropping the key onto the floor. Immediately, Dorothy grabbed the key and she and her siblings make a run for it. Below, Davis' group, Elsa, and the rest of Dorothy's group are still fighting off the Polichinelles and trying to get the first Polichinelle off of Davis. Above, Dorothy's sibling group made it to the elevator and Alice immediately pulled it's lever. Below, the Polichinelles surround Davis' group, Elsa, and the rest of Dorothy's group)
Polichinelle 2: Look out!
(As Dorothy's sibling group made their escape, Hardscrabble called out to them, which, for some reason, sounded more desperate)
Hardscrabble: Dorothy and your siblings, no! Stop!
(Then once they reached the bottom, Dorothy's sibling group pushed down the Polichinelles like dominoes and upon crashing into Davis, the first Polichinelle fell off of him. Then Dorothy and Davis' groups and Elsa made a run for it after Dorothy and Veemon helped Davis up. Once they exited the tent quickly, they ran as Hardscrabble's voice boomed out from the mechanical clown's mouth's megaphone)
Hardscrabble: (Voice-over) Bring it back!
Dorothy: Davis, guys! We did it!
Alice: We got the key.
Pinkie Pie: (Glad to hear it along with everyone else) Yes!
Twilight Sparkle: (Realizing something else) But where are...?
Hardscrabble: (Voice-over) Get back here!
Rarity: The others have been traitors all along for Hardscrabble's group!
Davis' group, Elsa, and rest of Dorothy's group: (Shocked) They what?!
Elsa: Then we've got to get back to the castle and warn everyone about it and come back for Mephiles later!
Wendy: And we noticed something else.
Davis' group, Elsa, and rest of Dorothy's group: What?
Wendy: When we confronted Hardscrabble's group....
Dorothy: They were different.
Alice: Like they were concerned.
Arthur/Wart: Well, they're trying to trick you.
Davis: Don't be fooled by that little old lady group act.
Peter: That woman and her group are deadly.
Elsa: Especially since it's bad enough Meg, Herc, and the others are traitors!
Hardscrabble: (Voice-over) That's a dangerous key!
(But Dorothy and Davis' groups and Elsa were far away from Hardscrabble's group's tent. Unknown to them, Rasputin's group and their army, including Mephiles, spied on them secretly with evil smirks)
Cortex: (Whispering) Perfect.
Rasputin: (Whispering) Everything's going according to plan.
Mephiles: (Whispering) Indeed.
(Then they disappeared into the darkness. Back in their tent, Hardscrabble, with her group's help, pulled the lever at the circus organ and stopped the floor)
Randall: Foolish girl and their siblings.
(Fat Tony's gang and Michael's group, still in shock over the discovery of Mary's death, turned to Megara, Hercules, and Popple's group)
Fat Tony: Why didn't they, let alone you, tell us?
(Feeling guilty, Megara, Hercules, and Popple's group were about to speak when they heard a familiar cute voice)
Pikachu: (Calling out to them) Pikachu!
(They looked and saw that it's Pikachu and even Meowth and Meowzie)
Meowth: I take it they got the key?
Hercules: Yes, they did.
Mike: And it ain't good.
Hardscrabble: Our future depends on that girl and her siblings and friends, you three.
(Then Sulley opened a trapdoor and ushered Megara, Hercules, Fat Tony's gang, and Michael and Popple's groups into it)
Sulley: To the palace!
Meowth and Meowzie: Got it!
(Then they and Pikachu joined Megara, Hercules, Fat Tony's gang, and Michael and Popple's groups into the trapdoor leading to the palace's underground system before disappearing into the darkness to get there. Back in the Fourth Realm's forest, Dorothy and Davis' groups and Elsa stopped running once it's safe and sat down to relax in relief)
Dorothy: Davis, guys....
(She pulls her egg-shaped box and the key out)
Dorothy: Now that we have the key, I can open this.
Alice: Even I feel that it's important.
Dorothy and Davis' groups and Elsa: All right.
Peter: And besides....
Arthur/Wart: We should be safe here.
Rarity: Indeed.
(Dorothy then proceeded to stick the key into the egg-shaped box's lock, and to her, Alice, and Wendy's relief, it fits. Then Dorothy immediately unlocked the box and slowly opened it, to find....)
Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy: (Suddenly confused) What?
(There was nothing in the box. Save for a soft musical melody of a music box, for it turned out the egg-shaped box was actually a music box. Everyone else heard the music coming from the music box and approached Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy, who are still confused)
Wendy: It can't be.
John: What can't be from that box?
Alice: (Ignoring John with Dorothy and Wendy) No.
(Then she, Dorothy, and Wendy got disappointed)
Alice: It's just a music box.
Dorothy: But our mother told us "Everything you need is inside."
Wendy: And yet, there's nothing here.
Davis: Well, there's music.
Veemon: That's what's inside.
Twilight Sparkle: I don't think that's what the girls meant.
(Then Dorothy closed her, Alice, and Wendy's music box as Toto, Dinah, Nana, and Cookie approached with concerned looks)
Dorothy: I thought....
(She looked at the key)
Dorothy: I thought if we found this key, then we would find answers.
Alice: That everything would make sense.
Wendy: But we're just as lost as when we and our siblings and friends arrived here.
(Then Dorothy held the key out to Davis and handed it to him)
Dorothy: Here. Take the key.
Wendy: Take it to Laylamon.
Davis: (Confused) Where are you going suddenly?
Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy: Home.
Dorothy and Davis' groups and Elsa: (Confused suddenly) Home?
Davis: But Dorothy, we need you here.
Dorothy: (Shakes her head no) No, Davis. You need our mother.
Alice: Because she was a queen.
Wendy: And we're not.
Dorothy: (Eyeing her brothers) Let alone kings for our brothers' case even.
(But Davis' group, Elsa, and the rest of Dorothy's group thought otherwise)
Davis: My group and I never left our post occasionally.
Arthur/Wart: We knew our place.
Peter: And we were happy.
Tink: But when you told us you were going into the Fourth Realm, we had a feeling you had a destiny.
Dorothy's group and Veemon: That's right.
Davis: And we'd knew we'd go with you.
Elsa: I wasn't there when that happened, but I believe it.
Dorothy: What does that mean?
Davis: What it means is, well, it wasn't because you're Mary's daughters and sons.
Peter: It was because you, Wendy, along with Dorothy and Alice, have Mary's same look. A look a confidence.
Arthur/Wart: And determination.
Dorothy: Yet we don't feel very confident right now.
Peter: Are you kidding us?
Davis: You just led a regiment of men into the Fourth Realm.
Arthur/Wart: (Points at the key Davis is holding) And took back this key from Dean Hardscrabble and her group.
Peter: So, you're not lost, Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy.
Davis' group: Your place is here.
Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy: (Feeling somewhat better) Are you sure?
Davis' group: Definitely sure.
(Then Davis, Arthur/Wart, and Peter began singing)
Davis: I have dreamed
That your arms are lovely
Arthur/Wart: I have dreamed
What a joy you'll be
Peter: I have dreamed
Every word you whisper
Arthur/Wart: When you're close
Davis: Close to me
(Calmly, Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy became reassured and happy to hear that. Even Dorothy and Davis' groups and Elsa, watching this, silently watched this with calm soft smiles)
Peter: How you look
In the glow of evening
Davis: I have dreamed
Arthur/Wart: And enjoyed the view
Davis, Arthur/Wart, and Peter: In these dreams, I've loved you so
That by now, I think I know
What it's like to be loved by you
(Then Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy smiled tenderly, feeling confident and happy altogether, seeing that Davis, Arthur/Wart, and Peter are not only reboosting their confidence to cheer them up, but also confessing their love to Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy respectively)
Davis, Arthur/Wart, and Peter: I will love being loved by you
(Then Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy sang next, reciprocating their love back to Davis, Arthur/Wart, and Peter respectively, much to the three latters' calm happiness)
Dorothy: Alone and awake
I've looked at the stars
Alice: The same that smiled on you
Wendy: And time and again
I've thought of the things
Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy: That you were thinking, too
Dorothy: I have dreamed
That your arms are lovely
Alice: I have dreamed
What a joy you'll be
Wendy: I have dreamed
Every word you whisper
Alice: When you're close
Dorothy: Close to me
Wendy: How you look
In the glow of evening
Dorothy: I have dreamed
Alice: And enjoyed the view
Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy: In these dreams, I've loved you so
(Then Davis, Arthur/Wart, and Peter joined in, concluding their song together happily)
Davis, Arthur/Wart, and Peter: In these dreams, I've loved you so
Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy: That by now, I think I know
Davis, Arthur/Wart, and Peter: That I know
Dorothy, Davis, Alice, Arthur/Wart, Wendy, and Peter: What it's like to be loved by you
(Then each three couples held their hands tenderly)
Dorothy, Davis, Alice, Arthur/Wart, Wendy, and Peter: I will love being loved by you
(The song over, they were about to kiss tenderly, when they gently stopped, suddenly blushing a bit, chuckling a bit, feeling awkward. Even the rest of Dorothy and Davis' groups and Elsa calmly chuckled a bit in agreement)
Wendy: Let's save for after we save the world.
Elsa and Dorothy and Davis' groups except Wendy: (Nods in agreement) Right.
(Then they spot Noctowl flying by, watching them in reassurance. Then Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy became reassured and confident)
Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy: (To Davis' group) Thank you, Davis. (Wart.) (Peter.)
(Then they heard a familiar horse's whinny. They turned and it was Maximus, along with Dorothy's group and the rest of Davis' group's horses)
Rarity: So, shall we?
Davis: It's time to save the kingdom.
(Dorothy and Davis' groups and Elsa nods in agreement and Dorothy accepts the key back from Davis before heading for their horses)
Coming up: Upon returning to the castle and delivering the key to Laylamon, the heroes soon discover and learn something more terrible than what they expected originally, and it will lead to a takeover.
