The Trap is Set/You’re Only Second Rate (Ashladdin 2 Version)

*(The next morning, Meowth's group walked around the palace, looking for Ash's group in concern, trying to think of something to say)*

Meowth: So Ash, guys.... My group and I were thinking, uh....

Fidget: We were wondering if....

*(Then they heard Crash's voice from another room and went in there to see if Ash's group is with him. Of course, as they entered, the only ones with Crash, who is wearing sports attire, are Sombra, Gene, Coco, Crunch, Tawna, Mohawk, Sabrina, Luz, Lisa, the rest of Ash's gang, Aku-Aku, Tai and Biyomon's groups, and even Darkwing's group, with Darkwing and Gizmoduck dressed as Drake and Fenton again. They are playing a game of pool. Drake, Megavolt, Quackerjack, Gosalyn, Tank, and Scrooge looked impatiently as Crash is focusing on the ball)*

Crash: Gotta focus... Focus.... Focus....

Quackerjack: What're you waiting for?!

Megavolt: Just hit it already!

Gosalyn: You're holding the game up!

Aku-Aku: Patience, everyone.

Launchpad: This takes time and concentrating for a huge focus.

Drake: Well, the time is wearing off our patience.

Megavolt and Quackerjack: You said it.

Gene: (To Crash) You heard Drake, Megavolt, and Quackerjack, Crash.

*(Hearing Gene, Crash finally hits the ball)*

Crash: He shoots! He scores!

*(Of course, Crash only ended up sending the ball clean off the table and right past the group. They looked just as Fidget yelped as the ball hit him in the mouth, getting stuck and sending him flying backwards right into Team Rocket. Crash, upon noticing this and Meowth's group along with the group, caught him in the nick of time with a baseball mitt)*

Crash: Gotcha!

*(After he landed, he magically discards his mitt)*

Crash: (To Fidget, apologetically) Sorry about that, Fidget! Allow me to get that out. *(To both Meowth's group and the group)* ASSISTANCE!!

*(As Meowth's group and the group joined in the assistance, Crash tries to get the ball out of Fidget's mouth with Megavolt and Quackerjack's help, but it just kept on being stuck)*

Quackerjack: Uh-oh. It's stuck good.

Megavolt: I'll say.

Crash: Time for some extraction.

*(Crash then used his magic to transform the females into nurses and the males into doctors. He then transformed himself into a doctor)*

Crash: Okay, nurses and doctors! Let's do this!

Group: Got it!

Gosalyn: Let me try!

*(Gosalyn goes over to Fidget, pulling out a pair of boxing gloves and punches Fidget squarely in the chest, resulting in the ball getting spit out)*

Sabrina and Lisa: Great extraction!

Pikachu: (Happily) Pikachu!

Mohawk and Luz: Yeah, great work!

*(The ball bounced off the wall and is going at Fidget again, much to his and everyone's panic. Luckily, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, with Pikachu and Meowth's help flipping them into the air, jumped up and caught it in the nick of time)*

Fidget: (To everyone) Thanks, Gos, guys.

Gosalyn: Anything for a friend.

Meowth: (Gestures to Pikachu) Let alone with the help of my surrogate brother.

*(The Pokemon, Digimon partners, Pura, Polar, Baby T, and Jiji then hugged Meowth's group while Gosalyn removed and puts away the boxing gloves)*

Webby: Even the animals and creatures, along with us, came to like you.

Pikachu: (Happily) Pika, pika!

Meowth's group: (Uneasily) Sure. Right.

*(Meowth's group got free from the animals and creatures' hugs as they walked off)*

Jessie: Anyway, we gotta go find Ash's group now.

Mimi: But where are Stellaluna and Meowzie?

Morgana: We haven't seen them both since last night.

*(Meowth's group secretly hesitated and then, feeling the confession-proof spell taking affect, immediately lied)*

Meowth: Oh, they're at the river.

James: Planning to spend quality time with us, Ash's group, Megavolt, Quackerjack, Pikachu, and even Volteer's group.

Meowth's group except James: Yeah.

*(The group understood, unfortunately falling for the unintentional lie Meowth's group unintentionally told)*

Tawna: Okay.

Coco: That's cool.

Quackerjack: (Happily approaching Meowth's group with Megavolt and Pikachu) It's good that you guys invited us.

Megavolt and Pikachu: (Happily agreeing) Yeah! (Pika!)

Meowth's group: (Secretly feeling uneasy) Yeah, that's right.

Megavolt: Well, let's go find Ash's group and tell them.

*(Meowth's group, Quackerjack, and Pikachu nods and with that, they left. Crash then transforms back into his sports attire while the group returned to their main attires as Crash smiled)*

Crash: Okay, who wants to go next?

Tawna: I can!

*(Tawna takes a cue stick and aims correctly. To the others' surprise, Tawna hits the ball sending all of them but the cue ball into the holes on her first go)*

Mohawk and Sabrina: Good shot, Mom!

Tawna: (Proudly) Thanks.

Crash: (Sighs with a shrug and proud smile) Oh well, pool is not my game anyway.

*(Crash transforms out of his sports attire back to his main attire. Later, Megavolt, Quackerjack, Pikachu, and Meowth's group finds Ash's group in a room talking to Serena's group, both groups now back in their main attires)*

Ash: What do you think of Fidget and Meowth possibly getting married to Stellaluna and Meowzie respectively?

*(Serena paused with her cousin and sister/group and then smiled)*

Serena: Well, I guess if they do get married like we will eventually, then may their love be blessed.

Ash and Serena's groups except Ash and Serena: Right.

Ash: I think so, too.

*(Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Meowth's group cleared their throats, getting Ash and Serena's groups' attention)*

Tombo: Oh, hey, guys.

*(Meowth's group comes in, acting casual while Flip and Pikachu entered cheerfully)*

Meowth: Hey.

Fidget: You know, we were hoping to find you.

Megavolt: For one reason and one reason only.

Quackerjack: Well, actually, one fun request for us from Meowth's group.

Jessie: Uh, you see, it's like this.

James: We were thinking.... Now that we're part of the palace.... I think we should spend time together with Stellaluna and Meowzie at a rendezvous point they're meeting us at.

Jessie: Even take Volteer's group with.

Megavolt: And rest assured, they already agreed to the idea because we asked them already.

Quackerjack: Oh, and Crunch are gonna give us a ride there in his Gummi Ship with Aku-Aku assisting us.

Sora: That sounds like a wonderful idea.

Kiki: Maybe that's why Stellaluna and Meowzie weren't seen since last night.

Serena: Because they want to surprise you guys with a quality time.

Fidget: Right. My thoughts exactly.

Ash: Okay, it's decided.

Matt: Let's go for it.

Serena: Come on. Let's get our parents/aunts and uncles.

*(As they, Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Pikachu begin to leave, Serena's group stopped and walks over to Meowth's group)*

Sora: Meowth's group, my cousin, sister, and I got to say, we were wrong about you.

Kiki: We thought you were still backstabbing jerks, but after what you did....

Serena: We're glad we were wrong about you.

Megavolt: (Approaching in agreement with Quackerjack and Pikachu) And it's because of you successfully winning us over, that you, Meowth, became buddies and surrogate brothers to Pikachu.

Quackerjack: (Agreeing) Exactly.

Pikachu: (Happily agreeing) Pika pika, pi, pi ka chu.

Meowth: (Translating, curiously) "And you wish to include Megavolt and Quackerjack in our bond?"

Pikachu: (Nods happily) Pika.

Megavolt and Quackerjack: (Agreeing) You heard him.

*(Meowth's group groaned quietly a bit as Megavolt, Quackerjack, Pikachu, and Serena's group hugged them. Megavolt, Quackerjack, Pikachu, and Serena's group then rejoined Ash's group as they begin to leave. Meowth's group, after groaning a bit, were about to yell out, wanting to call it off due to their forced deal with Merlock's group)*

Meowth's group: Wait!

Ash: (Turning with his and Serena's groups, Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Pikachu) Yeah, guys?

Pikachu: (Curiously) Pika?

*(Meowth's group was about to speak when they see a giant pair of red eyes secretly hovering above Ash and Serena's groups, Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Pikachu in the curtains. They knew who they belong to and groaned sadly a bit, resuming their reluctant act, smiling again)*

Meowth's group: You know what?

Jessie: We'll join you later.

Ash and Serena's groups, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: (Nods) Okay.

Pikachu: (Nods happily) Pika!

*(Then Ash and Serena's groups, Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Pikachu left. Once all alone, Meowth's group then turned around and looked down, feeling guilty. Merlock's group and their henchmen appeared behind them and smirked evilly at them)*

Merlock: You did good.

Vanitas: Very good indeed.

Shere Khan: Yes.

*(Meowth's group didn't answer as they just hung their heads in shame. Out in the courtyard later, Ash and Meowth's groups, Megavolt, Quackerjack, Pikachu, Aku-Aku, and Crunch waited by Crunch's Gummi Ship as Volteer's group approached them while everyone is standing close by)*

Sombra: You have a great time!

Grace: Oh, we will.

Toshiko: That we guarantee.

*(Then with that, Ash, Meowth, and Volteer's groups, Megavolt, Quackerjack, Pikachu, Aku-Aku, and Crunch boarded inside of Crunch's Gummi Ship and, with Crunch piloting it and Volteer flying by their side in his now transformed dragon form, flew off to the rendezvous point Meowth's group talked about)*

Heroes: (Waving) See you guys when you get back home!

Leaving heroes except Meowth's group: (Waving) We will!

*(Once they're gone, the heroes turned and saw Crash's group and Ash's gang, except Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Pikachu who left with Ash's group, running down the path with picnic gear carrying picnic supplies)*

Crash: Picnic time!

Webby: Along with a tea party time!

*(They got the blanket out and began to eat their food like mad. They looked and see the heroes laughing at this a bit)*

Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Mohawk: Oh. Sorry.

Gene: You want some?

Serena: No thanks.

Sora: You just go ahead.

Kiki: We're not hungry.

*(Then the heroes left. Crash's group and Ash's gang paused, then went back to their eating. With Ash's group, they flew around across a lagoon and a waterfall)*

Fidget: (Pointing) Okay, that's where we should go to. Under the waterfall.

Meowth: Stellaluna and Meowzie will meet us later.

Fidget: Just as they requested.

*(They land there and disembarked to hang out happily. Back at the palace, Crash's group and Ash's gang have eaten half of their food while Webby sipped her cup of tea)*

Sombra: This is swell, isn't it?

Coco: How about a drumstick, Patamon?

*(Coco throws a drumstick to Patamon, who takes it)*

Patamon: (Gladly accepting the drumstick) Thanks!

*(Luz took one for himself)*

Luz: Delicious, huh?

*(As Luz is about to eat, he looked alarmed as he sees a spider on his drumstick forcing him to throw it. Coco noticed and was about to speak when she and the others, except Crash, Sombra, and Gene, looked and got more alarmed as more spiders are heading towards them)*

Louie: Uh, Crash, Uncle Scrooge, guys....

Scrooge: Bless me bagpipes....

TK, Patamon, and Webby: Pests alert!

*(Crash, Sombra, and Gene looked and saw the spiders. Bushroot and the non-serious females freaked out of course)*

Bushroot and non-serious females: SPIDERS!!

*(Crash, Sombra, and Gene then transformed into exterminators while Gabumon, Patamon, Bushroot, and Liquidator got determined)*

Crash and Gene: (To the group) Step back, everyone!

Sombra, Bushroot, and Liquidator: This is not going to be pretty!

Kaya and TK: (To everyone, agreeing) You heard them!

*(Even Eevee chirps a bit in agreement. Crash, Sombra, and Gene begin to spray the spiders like mad while Gabumon, Patamon, Bushroot, and Liquidator attacked alongside the three)*

Gabumon: (Attacking the spiders) Blue Blaster!

Patamon: (Attacking the spiders) Boom Bubble!

*(But to their surprise, the spray and attacks didn't affect the spiders at all. In fact, as they and the group watched, the spiders piled all over themselves until they form a giant outline of two figures. When they faded, Crash's group gasped as they see who the figures are while Gene screamed a bit in shock and a panic)*

Crash's group except Mohawk, Sabrina, Luz, and Lisa: Merlock and Vanitas?!

Mohawk, Sabrina, Luz, and Lisa: (Shocked) *That's* Merlock and Vanitas?!

Merlock: That's right, don't rub it off. And we must take you out of the action.

Vanitas: We don't need meddlers like you getting in the way of our plan.

*(Crash, Sombra, and Gene crossed their arms and smiled smugly)*

Sombra: Yeah, right.

Gene: What plan?

Crash: You're genies and you can't kill anybody.

Kaya: And that's against the genie rules.

Liquidator: A genie-styled Geneva convention.

Gabumon, Patamon, and Bushroot: That's right.

*(Merlock and Vanitas chuckled evilly a bit as they held their hands out while they turned into dragons. Then the dragons blasted Crash, Sombra, and Gene with fire, turning them into a hot crispy bandicoot, soot-covered bandicoot, and hot crispy bird respectively, cuing Gene to cough out a small patch of smoke. Even one of those flame blasts almost struck Bushroot, hadn't it been for Bushroot to jump out of the way on time in a panic into Liquidator's arms)*

Crash's group: (Concerned) Crash! (Sombra!) (Gene!) (Guys!)

Scrooge: (To Merlock and Vanitas, angrily) Who do you think you are?!

Kaya, Bushroot, Liquidator, Gabumon, TK, and Patamon: (Agreeing in anger while Liquidator puts a glaring Bushroot down) How dare you?!

Crash: (Coughing a bit, cutting Merlock's group off) Of course, you'd be surprised what you could live through on it.

*(Then he, Sombra, and Gene shook the soot off, changing their bodies back to normal and Gene changed back into his genie attire)*

Vanitas: (Laughing wickedly a bit) Once again, orange rats and duck, you can always give out a laugh.

Sombra: What?!

Gene: A laugh, eh?

Sombra: First off, Crash and I are bandicoots, not rats!

Bushroot: That's the correct species they are!

Gene: That's right!

Crash: Secondly, laugh at this!

*(Crash, Sombra, and Gene then shot out magic lightning bolts at Merlock and Vanitas. For a while, it seemed to work as smoke is formed by the blasts. When the smoke cleared, Merlock and Vanitas are gone with a big hole where they used to be at. Crash, Sombra, and Gene breathed in and out for a bit. Then they transformed into superheroes and Crash laughed a bit)*

Crash: (Transforming back with Sombra and Gene) Now who's laughing, genie boys?

Liquidator: (Agreeing smugly) Yeeeeaaah!

Bushroot: (Agreeing smugly, at the same time as Liquidator said his above line) Yeah, genie boys?

*(Suddenly, a bit of two familiar maniacal laughter is heard as, after a poof of smoke, an evil smirking Merlock and Vanitas reappeared)*

Merlock and Vanitas: We believe it's us.

*(As Crash's group walked backwards nervously, Merlock and Vanitas proceeded to sing)*

Merlock: **We must admit**

**Your parlor tricks are amusing**

*(Crash, Sombra, and Gene were suddenly turned into magicians that each have a top hat stuck to their own heads)*

Vanitas: **We bet you've got a bunny**

**Under your hat**

*(Merlock and Vanitas appeared above Crash, Sombra, and Gene and removed the hats, causing three big rabbits to fall out and knock the three former genies to the ground)*

Merlock: **Now here's your chance**

**To get the best of us**

**Hope your hands are hot**

*(Cards flew out of the hats as the villains grabbed them. We then see Crash's group on them with their pictures on the joker cards)*

Vanitas: **C'mon, clowns**

**Let's see what you've got**

*(Crash's group fell off the cards and right onto the ground. An angry Crash, Sombra, and Gene recovered and blasted Merlock and Vanitas with magic, but it is not working)*

Vanitas: **You try to slam us**

**With your hardest stuff**

Merlock: **But your double whammy**

**Isn't up to snuff**

Vanitas: **We'll set the record straight**

Merlock: **You're simply out of date**

Merlock and Vanitas: **You're only second rate**

*(With evil smirks, Merlock and Vanitas pulled Crash, Sombra, and Gene by the scarf and flew them to the lower platform. Crash, Sombra, and Gene gasped as Vanitas turned them into old bandicoots and an old duck)*

Vanitas: **You think your cats are meanies**

Merlock: **But your tigers are tame**

*(Crash, Sombra, and Gene were then turned into tigers and they attacked Merlock and Vanitas. But the villains simply made a ring appear, turning Crash, Sombra, and Gene into kittens when they came out the other side. Crash, Sombra, and Gene, still as kittens, then find themselves on each stool as the two villains show them a huge math problem on a chalkboard)*

Merlock: **You've got a lot to learn**

**About the genie game**

Vanitas: **So for your education**

**We'll reiterate**

Merlock and Vanitas: **You're only second rate**

*(Now Merlock and Vanitas put each a dunce hat over the hats and lifted them off. Crash, Sombra, and Gene, back to normal, and their group are now sharing the same stool. The stool ended up flying above them causing them to fall down. They landed on a hand that has fingers dressed up like finger puppet versions of Merlock and Vanitas)*

Merlock: **Men cower at the power**

**In our pinkies**

*(The pinky fingers lunged at Crash's group, causing them to back away. They yelped a bit and sees the thumbs that are colored just like Merlock and Vanitas' genie forms)*

Merlock and Vanitas: **Our thumbs are number one**

**On every list**

*(The thumbs now turned into Merlock and Vanitas as genies)*

Merlock: **But if you're not convinced**

**That we're invincible**

**Put us to the test**

Vanitas: **We'd love to lay this rivalry to rest**

*(Merlock and Vanitas caused some dirt in the ground to rise up, turning them into a graveyard. Crash's group fell in as tombstones rose out from them. Crash, Sombra, and Gene jumped out and blasted Merlock and Vanitas once more)*

Vanitas: **Go ahead and zap us**

**With the big surprise**

Merlock: **Snap us in a trap**

**Cut us down to size**

*(Crash, Sombra, and Gene used their magic to wrap Merlock and Vanitas in chains, put them in a basket, and cut that basket through with swords. Despite all that, however, Merlock and Vanitas reappeared out of the basket okay, freed from the chains)*

Merlock: **We'll make a big escape**

Vanitas: **It's just a piece of cake**

Merlock and Vanitas: **You're only second rate**

*(A giant cake appeared with a lot of layers. Merlock and Vanitas comes out of the top candle as flames on the other ones shot up like sparks. Crash's group tried to escape, but was stopped by not just the Stonehenge versions of Merlock and Vanitas, but also their henchmen and Ruggedo's gang)*

Ruggedo: **You know, your hocus pocus**

**Isn't tough enough**

*(Crash's group falls through the floor and landed on the stairs of an escalator going up to the villains' throne where they're sitting at, holding their own staffs sinisterly)*

Bulba: **And your mumbo-jumbo**

**Doesn't measure up**

Dijon, Demidevimon, and Makuramon: That's right!

*(Crash's group jumped backwards from stair to stair. But soon they disappeared when they got to the throne itself. Merlock shoots them with his staff until they landed at the bottom)*

Negaduck: **Let us pontificate**

**Upon your sorry state**

Villains: **You're only second rate**

*(Crash's group ran off in a panic. They ran through a hall of mirrors as a big one appeared in front of them. They yelped as the villains' reflections appeared in it)*

Villains: **Zaba-caba-dabra**

*(Escaping again, they encountered two old women sitting in two rocking chairs, their backs to them. Crash and Gene tapped each of them on their own shoulders, but they yelled a bit as the two women turned around, revealing to be Hunter J and Splatter Phoenix magically in disguise)*

Hunter J and Splatter Phoenix: **Granny's gonna grab ya**

*(Crash's group ran off as the villains, with Hunter J and Splatter Phoenix back in their main attires again, followed them. Merlock and Vanitas are growing by the second as their voices echoed all around)*

Villains: **Alakazam-da-mus**

Merlock and Vanitas: **And these things are bigger than any of us**

*(Crash's group kept on running, alarmed as they entered a hall that has a lot of the villains)*

Merlock: **So spare us your tremendous scare**

Vanitas: **You look horrendous**

Dijon: **In your underwear**

*(Vanitas and even Dijon pulled down Crash's pants, revealing his red hearts underwear underneath, embarrassing him as he pulled his pants back up quickly)*

Merlock: **And we can hardly wait**

**To discombobulate**

*(Crash, Sombra, and Gene finds themselves taken apart. The parts of the three rearranged themselves as they fell into a crate)*

Merlock: **We'll send you back and packing**

**In a shipping crate**

*(After the crate exploded, Crash's group find themselves on a spinning plate on a stick spun by Merlock himself)*

Merlock: **You'll make a better living**

**With a spinning plate**

Villains: **You're only second rate**

*(With a bit of their evil laughs, the villains tossed the plate up and it begins to spin around. A while later as soon as the song's over, we see Crash, Sombra, and Gene spinning around crammed into a magically enhanced glass orb keeping them from escaping and using their magic, inside Merlock's group and their henchmen's old chamber. Merlock and Vanitas locked the orb tightly and puts it on a table. Nearby, Kaya, Eevee, Gabumon, TK, Patamon, Bushroot, Liquidator, Tawna, Coco, Mohawk, Sabrina, Luz, Lisa, Scrooge, Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby are shackled by their wrists and ankles to a wall. And sitting on the table near Crash, Sombra, and Gene's prison are Stellaluna and Meowzie, still locked in the cage, but now untied and ungagged from the smoke chains)*

Kaya: (Angrily) If Ash, Matt, and our friends find out about this, you'll never get away with this!

Meowzie: (Angrily) That's right!

Stellaluna: (Angrily) You will be sorry!

Sabrina: (Angrily) You can take that to the bank!

Lisa: (Angrily agreeing) That's right!

Vanitas: Poor choice of deciding to say that with Stellaluna and Meowzie, wimps.

Bushroot: (Annoyed) Hey, we're not wimps!

Scrooge: (Angrily) And I may be old, but I, along with everyone here, are not completely stupid!

Liquidator: (Angrily agreeing) Because 9 out of 10 researchers say that intelligence and strength really *does* work on people who appear to *look* stupid and wimpy!

Scrooge: So, there you go, you little dark brooding bairn!

Vanitas: (Shrugs sneeringly) Whatever. *(To the glaring Scrooge, sneeringly)* And for the record, I'm a teenager, not a bairn anymore, McDuck.

Negaduck: So enjoy your eternal stay in here.

Demidevimon: And don't bother trying to escape because the shackles, too, are escape and magic-proof.

Myotismon: (Sneeringly eyes the glaring Liquidator) Including preventing some aquakinetic powers.

Makuramon: Courtesy of Merlock and Vanitas!

Splatter Phoenix: You, along with Vanitas, are really good at being as disrespectful as we are.

Myotismon and Hunter J: That is true.

Negaduck: (Chuckles wickedly a bit) You are too kind, my wife.

Vanitas: (Agreeing wickedly) Learned from the best mother and father.

Crash's group: (Shocked) Mother, father, and wife?!

Kaya, TK, and Scrooge: (Shocked and confused) What?!

Gene: (Shocked) You're related to Myotismon and Hunter J, Vanitas?!

Crash: (Shocked) And you, Negaduckie, are related to Splatter Phoenix?

Vanitas, Negaduck, Myotismon, Hunter J, and Splatter Phoenix: That's right.

Vanitas: Why else did I get that dark attitude?

Ruggedo: Surprised, aren't you?

Crash's group: (Flatly) Barely.

Negaduck: (Smugly at first) And for the record.... *(Screams at the top of his lungs in the captives' face, blowing wind on them from his shouting)* IT'S "NEGADUCK," NOT "NEGADUCKIE!!" *(Calm again)* Anyway....

Bushroot: (Under his breath after that's over) Doesn't any of them ever heard the term "Breath mint?"

Kaya: (Agreeing with Bushroot under her breath) He smells like rotten fish.

Liquidator: (Agreeing with Kaya and Bushroot under his breath) Yeah.

*(Merlock's group and their henchmen then go up to Ruggedo's gang, who is waiting at the door)*

Vanitas: Come, everyone.

Negaduck: We got more lives to destroy.

Shere Khan: Indeed.

Merlock: Part two of our plan is complete.

*(Then with that, the villains left to continue their plan)*

***Coming up: The villains succeed in capturing Volteer's group, as well as Megavolt, Quackerjack, Pikachu, Aku-Aku, and Crunch, and then trick Don Karnage and the pirate guards into believing that Ash, Matt, and Tombo have "Murdered" Volteer's group after the villains also captured Serena, Tai, Biyomon, and Darkwing's groups, Pura, Polar, Baby T, and Lillipup, causing Ash, Matt, and Tombo to be captured by Don Karnage and his pirate guards and thrown in the dungeon, awaiting a sunrise execution.***
