The Azteca Tribe's Life/Tikal's Mysterious Dream

*(Far off into the New World, in the form of a forested area of the shores of what will eventually be Jamestown, Virginia in the United States of America, morning arrived slowly)*

Pocahontas Parodies Studios present....

*(Then we see a peaceful Native American Indian village residing in the forests beyond a river. That is the home village of the Azteca Tribe)*

Tikalhontas

*(Above a cliffside above the village, an echidna native noticed something approach the village in canoes. The echidna native is a male 22 year old well-built, anthro echidna with brown fur, a peach muzzle and belly, brown dreadlocks, a black nose, blue eyes, and wearing a short-sleeved slate gray shirt, a black wristband on the right wrist, a gold, brown, black, and red arm armor on the left arm, a red x-shaped belt around the torso and back area, a black obi-sash, a pair of beige obi-pants, and red, brown, and gold armored boots. He is Terra, the Scout and Warrior of the Azteca Tribe. He recognized it as his own people rowing in the canoes back to the village)*

Azteca Tribe: (Voice-over) ***Hega hega*, *ya-hi-ye hega***

***Ya-hi-ye-ne-he hega***

*(Terra then blew on his horn to his Azteca native friend. Getting the message, the native then ran to the other side of the cliffside he's standing on towards the village, running by a herd of deer that ran off upon his approach)*

Azteca Tribe: (Voice-over) ***Hega hega, ya-hi-ye hega***

**Ya-hi-ye-ne-he hega**

*(Then the native blew his horn, announcing the arrival of some of their tribe members. Hearing this in realization, the Azteca Tribe happily hurried to the river's shore to greet them, stopping what they're doing such as fishing, food gathering, playing, and even dancing and singing)*

Woman echidnas: (Voice-over) **Steady as the beating drum**

**Singing to the cedar flute**

**Seasons go and seasons come**

**Bring the corn and bear the fruit**

Azteca Tribe: (Voice-over) **By the waters sweet and clean**

**Where the mighty sturgeon lives**

**Plant the squash and reap the bean**

**All the earth our Mother gives**

**O Great Spirit, hear our song**

**Help us keep the ancient ways**

**Keep the sacred fire strong**

**Walk in balance all our days**

*(At a teepee nearby, a male baboon is entertaining some Azteca Tribe children with his shaman magic on some smoke from a small bonfire. The male baboon is an elderly, half-bald mandrill with gray fur, yellow eyes, a red nose, a blue nose bridge, and a white beard and sideburns and often carried a wooden stick with empty dry gourd-like orbs tied to the top like a staff. He is Rafiki, the Shaman and Medicine Man of the Azteca Tribe. Suddenly, he and the children noticed their people going to the river's shore to greet their returning members and joined them happily)*

Azteca Tribe: (Voice-over) **Seasons go and seasons come**

**Steady as the beating drum**

**Plum to seed to bud to plum**

***Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega***

**Steady as the beating drum**

*(Standing on the lead canoe, their leader stood there proudly, smiling softly as he and his tribe members docked at the shore. The leader is a male elderly, fairly muscular echidna with dark red fur, tan skin, a broad torso, a thick tail, a pointy muzzle, a sharp black nose, purple eyes, dark red spikes hanging down the sides of his head, a tan beard, long, bushy tan eyebrows, and wearing a flat golden necklace with feathers attached to it around his neck, red and yellow armbands adorned with white feathers around his upper arms, white gloves with pointy knuckles, a yellow, red, and pink waist cloth with rectangular lines, purple rims, and white feathers ornaments attached on the lower rim, tan sandals, and stripes of tan war-paint (On top of his head, around his dreadlocks, and around his forearms). He is Pachacamac, the Chief of the Azteca Tribe. As he and his tribe members disembark, Pachacamac watched with a soft smile, happy to see his people being reunited with their loved ones after a long journey)*

Azteca Tribe: (Voice-over) ***Hega hega*, *ya-hi-ye hega***

***Ya-hi-ye-ne-he hega***

***Hega hega*, *ya-hi-ye hega***

***Ya-hi-ye-ne-he hega***

***Hega***

***Hega***

***Hega***

*(At the same time as the song is ending, Pachacamac and Rafiki happily greeted each other with open arms)*

Rafiki: *Ka-ma wingapo*, Pachacamac.

Pachacamac: (To Rafiki) *Ay-man-ay-cho*, Rafiki. It’s good to be home. *(To his people)* *Chesk-cham-ay*! The Kaliente Tribe is defeated! With the help of our brothers, our villages are safe again!

*(The Azteca Tribe cheered a bit at this news. For it turned out Pachacamac and his tribe members' return is, in fact, a celebrational return of their victory in a war against the Kaliente Tribe. After that's done, Pachacamac and Rafiki proudly watched their people resuming their happy normal lives and routines)*

Rafiki: Your return has brought much joy to the village. Look at all the smiling faces.

*(Pachacamac then noticed someone is missing. But he didn't mind, because he knew that certain someone is just out exploring for fun)*

Pachacamac: Yes, but there is one smiling face I don’t see. Where is my daughter?

Rafiki: (Shrugs) You know Tikal. She has her mother’s spirit. She goes wherever the wind takes her.

*(Knowing he's right, Pachacamac then returned to his teepee with Rafiki as a gust of wind carrying some colored leaves blew by. Near the village at another cliffside above a lake, the same wind blew around there, surrounding a female figure who is standing there, enjoying the view. The female figure is a female 11 year old echidna with orange fur, orange braids, peach skin, a black nose, green eyes, and wearing a white jungle-themed swimsuit. She is Tikal, Pachacamac's daughter and the Princess of the Azteca Tribe. After the wind, apparently her mother’s spirit within it since her mother had already passed away, finished and vanished, Tikal suddenly heard a female voice call out to her below in a canoe on the lake. It came from a female 17 year old echidna with light brown fur, light brown quills tied in braids, a light pink first-degree burn scar on the left side of her face, peach skin, a black nose, brown eyes, and wearing a pink jungle-themed swimsuit. She is Therru AKA Tehanu, Tikal's childhood friend)*

Therru: Tikal! Your father’s back! Come down here!

*(Happy to hear that, Tikal called back to her)*

Tikal: Okay!

*(Then a bird flew up to her, looking happy on what he heard as well. He is a slender male hornbill with blue feathers, a white belly, undertail, underwings, eyes with black pupils, aqua eyelids, orange feet, an orange bill with yellow trimming on both sides around his nostrils, indigo feather tips with white linings beneath them, thick black eyebrows, indigo trimming on his head, and an indigo feather on the back of it. He is Zazu, Tikal's best friend and bodyguard)*

Zazu: Is this true?

Tikal: Yes, Zazu, he's back!

Zazu: That's wonderful!

*(They hurry into the forest. Nearby in the forest, resting by some blackberry bushes eating some berries, are six figures. The first figure is a male Electric-type mouse Pokémon with yellow fur with two brown stripes on his back, a brown spot on his rear and start-point of his tail, black tips on his ears, and red spots on his cheeks. He is Pikachu, another one of Tikal's best friends. The second figure is a male fox with green fur, a white muzzle and underbelly, four dark green paws, pink eyes, a black nose, triangular ears with black tips and pink interiors, a bushy tail with a white tip, and wearing black sunglasses. He is Ace D. Copular, the leader of the Gangreen Gang and another friend of Tikal's. The third figure is a male anthro-looking garter snake with scaly green skin, dark green spots, a lime green underbelly, black lips, pink eyes with black cat-like pupils, a forked light green tongue, a long tail, and small arms and legs that he can retract into his body to look snake-like. He is Sanford "Snake" D. Ingleberry, another friend of Tikal's. The fourth figure is a male midget crocodile with green scales, a lime green underbelly, green spikes on his tail with a lime green underbelly, white nail claws on his hands and feet, and rounded white teeth sticking out from his lower lip. He is Li'l Arturo de la Guerra, another friend of Tikal's. The fifth figure is a male bear with green fur, a small bobbed tail, a lime green muzzle and underbelly, a black nose, a blue cyclops eye underneath his short orange hair, and white nail claws on his hands and feet. He is Big William "Billy" W. Williams, another friend of Tikal's. And the last figure is a male monkey with green skin, dark green fur, a long tail, and his tongue sticking out. He is Grubber J. Gribberish, another friend of Tikal's. Suddenly, Zazu flew up to them and grabbed a blackberry that Pikachu was about to throw to Ace, much to the two's annoyance)*

Ace: Hey!

Pikachu: (Disappointedly) Pika.

Zazu: (Throwing the blackberry aside) The Chief has returned!

Gangreen Gang: (Now interested) Really?!

Pikachu: (Now interested) Pikachu?

Tikal: (Approaching them) Come on, Pikachu, Gangreen Gang!

Gangreen Gang: Yes, Tikal!

Pikachu: (Happily) Pika!

*(Then Tikal prepared herself to run. Then she sprinted to the cliffside, getting ready to jump. Seeing this, Therru got surprised)*

Therru: No, not that…! Way….

*(Then Tikal dove off the cliffside and landed in the water. Therru got annoyed)*

Therru: Showoff.

*(Seeing this above the cliffside, Pikachu, Zazu, and the Gangreen Gang were impressed)*

Zazu: A perfect dive as usual.

*(Giving a smug playful look, Ace turned to his gang)*

Ace: Bet you can't dive perfectly like she can.

Snake: Oh, we'ssss dare.

Arturo: Easy.

Billy: Duh, no problem.

*(Grubber blows a raspberry in agreement. Then after Pikachu climbed onto Billy's back, they dove towards the lake. But when they see in realization how far the water's surface is from this jump, the Gangreen Gang, except Ace, panicked while Pikachu and Ace are enjoying this and Zazu, flying down with them, got annoyed)*

Snake: You never sssaid...!

Ace: Gotcha good!

Zazu: Of all the immature....

*(Suddenly, Billy, in a panic, grabbed Zazu, thinking his flying can save them, but he couldn't due to his weight. Then they all landed in the water as Therru looked around for Tikal in concern)*

Therru: Tikal? Tikal? Are you alright?

*(Then she got annoyed even more)*

Therru: Well, you better be all right because I’m not coming in after you…!

*(Suddenly, Tikal playfully emerged from the water and tipped Therru's canoe over, knocking her into the water. Then they both broke the surface underneath the upside-down canoe's seat section, which is now an air pocket)*

Therru: (Coughs a bit) Don’t you think we’re getting a little old for these games?

Tikal: (Playfully) Maybe.

*(Then she sucked some water into her mouth and spat it in Therru's face, making her laugh. Then they playfully splashed each other as they laughed a bit. As this happened outside the upside-down canoe, Zazu, Pikachu, and the Gangreen Gang broke the surface as well, gasping for air. Snake then glared at Ace)*

Snake: That wassss the worsssst prank...!

*(Ace punches him)*

Snake: I meanssss, clever you.

*(Zazu lands on the upside-down canoe to scold Billy)*

Zazu: Can't you realize by now that I can't lift anything heavy like you?! You should be ashamed…!

*(Suddenly, they heard Tikal speak to Therru underneath the upside-down canoe)*

Tikal: (Voice-over) Help me turn this thing over.

*(Realizing they're gonna tip the canoe rightside-up, Zazu was about to fly off the canoe when he realized his talons have accidentally clawed themselves into the wood, making him stuck. Feeling the canoe about to tip by Tikal and Therru, Zazu panicked and tried in vain to free himself when the canoe flipped in the right position, making him stuck underwater. Luckily, Billy pulled Zazu free and brought him back up to the surface, making Zazu gasp for air)*

Zazu: Thank you, Billy.

*(Then Tikal and Therru climbed into Therru's canoe and began talking as Billy helped Pikachu and the rest of the Gangreen Gang climb into the canoe since they're the only ones who can fit in there due to their small sizes)*

Therru: What were you doing up there, other than the fact we came here to swim?

Tikal: Thinking.

*(Pikachu and the Gangreen Gang, except Billy who is still in the water, shook the water off themselves)*

Tikal: (Giggles a bit) Guys!

Gangreen Gang: Sorry.

Tikal: It's okay.

*(Then Tikal and Therru resumed their conversation)*

Therru: Anyway, you were talking about that dream again? Have you figured it out yet?

Tikal: I know it means something, I just don't know it yet.

Therru: You should ask your father about it.

Tikal: (To Therru) Maybe I should. *(To her friends)* Shall we head back now?

Zazu and Gangreen Gang: (Nods) Yep.

Pikachu: (Nods happily) Pika.

*(Then they rowed back to the Azteca Tribe Village's direction while Billy swam besides them and Zazu flew besides them. Once back at the Azteca Tribe Village, Tikal, Therru, Pikachu, and the Gangreen Gang docked Therru's canoe at the shore while Billy climbed out the river and shook water off his fur. At the same time this happens, they heard Pachacamac explaining his stories of the war between the Azteca Tribe and Caliente Tribe. While Tikal and Therru went inside one of the huts to dry off and change, Pachacamac continued his story. Standing next to him is a 17 male echidna with black fur, tan skin, a black nose, a healed slash-like scar on his face over his nose bridge, and wearing a black sockhat with white Japanese Kanji sewn on the front, a blue zip-up tanktop with white rims underneath a white long sleeveless vest with a blue rim, red pants with a brown waist rim and a yellow string to support it, and black boots with a blue string around the ankles on each of them. He is Seifer Almasy, the Azteca Tribe's most strongest and popular warrior. Once the two female echidnas came out, they were wearing different outfits. Tikal is now wearing white bandages on her braids, a gold headband with a tiny blue gem in the center, a matching necklace and armband on her right shoulder, a white bandana tied on her left arm, a white cropped tanktop, white gloves with cobalt blue ring-like rims, a yellow tribal skirt with beige, green, and red triangular patterns, and white sandals. And Therru is now wearing a hot pink sleeveless dress over a light pink long-sleeved farmer shirt, light tan pants, a pair of beige stockings tied in a brown string around the ankles, and light brown shoes)*

Pachacamac: ….Faced a determined enemy. The battle lasted from the rising of the sun until the evening shadows fell. Our warriors fought with courage, but none as bravely as Seifer Almasy. He attacked with the fierce strength of the bear. He has proven himself to be the greatest and the finest, destroying every enemy in his path.

Therru: (Looking at Seifer, during Pachacamac's story) He's so handsome.

Tikal: (Sarcastically, during Pachacamac's story) I especially love his "Smile."

Pachacamac: (Concluding his speech) Tonight we will feast in his honor.

*(The Azteca Tribe, except a happy Tikal, cheered a bit. Then Tikal happily ran up to Pachacamac and they hugged)*

Pachacamac: My daughter.

Tikal: *Wingapo*, Father.

Pachacamac: Seeing you gives me great joy.

Tikal: I am so glad you’ve come home safely.

*(Then their hug ended and they walked into Pachacamac's teepee)*

Pachacamac: Come with me, we have much to talk about. I want to hear everything you’ve been doing.

*(After Tikal and Pachacamac entered, Pikachu, Zazu, and the Gangreen Gang entered as well, seating near some clay jars full of red powder)*

Tikal: Father, for many nights now, I’ve been having a very strange dream. I think it’s telling me something’s about to happen. Something exciting.

Pachacamac: (Removing his Indian headdress) Yes, something exciting is about to happen.

*(He places the headdress next to a totem standing near Billy. Hearing him say that, Tikal believed he knows something about her dream)*

Tikal: Really, what is it?

Pachacamac: Seifer has asked to seek your hand in marriage.

*(Tikal got calmly surprised and then confused)*

Tikal: (Confused) Marry Seifer?

*(Pikachu, Zazu, and the Gangreen Gang got secretly disgusted on what they heard, for they, along with Tikal, knew Seifer, a serious warrior, is not her type. Tikal and Pachacamac then peeked from the curtain at the teepee's entrance to see Seifer standing there, looking serious and proud as a group of Azteca Tribe children are playing around him, admiring his toughness)*

Pachacamac: I told him it would make my heart soar.

Tikal: But he's so....

*(She tried to think of a word to say not to upset her father, then said the right word)*

Tikal: Serious.

Pachacamac: (Reassuringly) My daughter, Seifer will make a fine husband. He is loyal and strong, and he will build you a good house with sturdy walls. With him, you will be safe from harm.

*(During Pachacamac's line, Billy puts Pachacamac's headdress on his head, painted the red powder onto his chest with his paws, leaving pawprint markings on it, and then imitated Seifer, making Pikachu and the Gangreen Gang and even himself quietly giggle a bit. But Zazu, on the other hand, despite agreeing with Tikal's disinterest in marrying Seifer, tried to quietly make them stop sternly, not wanting to insult Pachacamac)*

Zazu: (Whispering, during Pachacamac's line) Shush!

Tikal: But Father, I think my dream is pointing me down another path.

Pachacamac: This is the right path for you.

Tikal: But why can't I choose...?

*(Then Zazu shoved Billy onto the floor near Tikal, making her notice in surprise and catch Billy)*

Zazu: (Apologetically to Tikal) Sorry.

Tikal: (Giggles a bit) It's alright, Zazu.

*(Then she noticed the red powder pawprints on Billy's chest, wiped them clean, removed Pachacamac's headdress from his head, and as Billy stood back up, Tikal placed the headdress back on the totem. After letting out a soft sigh, Pachacamac continued their discussion)*

Pachacamac: Tikal, come with me.

*(They, along with Pikachu, Zazu, and the Gangreen Gang, exited the teepee and looked out at the river)*

Pachacamac: You are the daughter of the chief. It is time to take your place among our people. Even the wild mountain stream must someday join the big river.

*(Then he begins singing)*

Pachacamac: **As the river cuts his path**

**Though the river’s proud and strong**

**He will choose the smoothest course**

**That’s why rivers live so long**

**They’re steady as the steady beating drum**

*(After he finished singing, he then pulled out a blue opal stone-made armband with small white feathers attached to it and placed it on Tikal's right shoulder, which she lets him)*

Pachacamac: Your mother wore this for our wedding. It was her dream to see you wear it at your own. It suits you.

*(Giving a soft smile, loving the gift despite her disappointment of going to marry Seifer soon, Tikal nods and then with that, she walked away, leaving Pachacamac alone)*

***Coming up: Tikal goes to consult her Weeping Willow Tree Spirit friend, Starfire, about her dream, learning from her that she must listen to the Wind Spirits within her heart and to follow it to eventually find the answer. Soon, Tikal, Pikachu, Zazu, and the Gangreen Gang will discover the Susan Constant's arrival with its settlers, all of them unaware that the Azteca Tribe have discovered this as well from a scout.***
