Sofia's Kansas Group, Clover, and Namine Captured/Namine Deceived by Sly Fox

*(Back at the castle, the Sorceress and Sly Fox saw the Jitterbug plan come out a success)*

Sorceress: Perfect.

Sly Fox: Do your stuff.

Sorceress: Gladly.

*(Then she summoned the Winged Goblins and Toon Patrol with the cap)*

Sorceress: (Stands upon her left foot slowly) Ep-pe, pep-pe, kak-ke! *(Stands upon her right foot)* Hil-lo, hol-lo, hel-lo! *(Stands upon both feet and loudly)* Ziz-zy, zuz-zy, zik!

(Then the Winged Goblins and Toon Patrol arrived)

Wise Guy: You called?

Sorceress: Sly Fox and I got a job for you.

*(Then the Sorceress and Sly Fox started to sing)*

Sorceress: **They’re so misguided**

**It’s all so one-sided**

**Those dimwitted children**

**Dares to tangle with us**

Sly Fox: **Those girls are prissy**

**Those boys are clueless**

Sorceress: **And we want them itemless**

**We’ll show them**

**How fiendishly mean**

**We can be**

Sly Fox: **We want those items and the girl**

**To establish just whose number one**

**From the east to the west**

**Then we’ll be complete**

**With the world at our feet**

Sorceress: **And red, along with the other colors**

**Always suited us best**

Sorceress and Sly Fox: **I know we hold sway**

**Over all we survey**

**But we now need**

**A much bigger deal**

**The items and girl are the keys**

**To the making of us**

**So find them and bring them**

**To heel**

**When we get those items**

**And girl from them**

**And they’re put where**

**They could have been**

**Should have been**

**Right from the start**

**Our power will grow**

**It’ll blossom and flow**

**Through the world**

**Through the years**

**And straight to our hearts**

**We all like to dance**

**So now here’s your chance**

**You’ll dance to**

**Your very last gasp**

**Chasse, pirouette**

**You’ll swelter and sweat**

**And stumble right**

**Into our grasp**

**You’ll find you will**

**Dance until you drop**

**And stumble right**

**Into our grasp**

*(After the song ended, the Sorceress and Sly Fox then turned to the Winged Goblins and Toon Patrol)*

Sorceress: About those brats, enjoy your dances, my pretties. And now you, our Winged Goblins and Toon Patrol, our darlings, it’s time at long last to go do your work. Now off you go and mop up the mess. Sly Fox and I want those little brats and their mangy little rabbit, especially Namine, and most of all, we want our items! Now fly, fly, my pretties!

*(The Winged Goblins, carrying the Toon Patrol, then flew out the window to the Haunted Forest)*

Sly Fox: As for me, I’ll go to the tower so Namine won’t be suspicious.

Sorceress: Very well.

*(Sly Fox leaves with her portal to go to the tower after all the Winged Goblins and Toon Patrol are gone. Seeing the Rhynocs chanting and singing, the Sorceress chuckled evilly a bit and then started singing again as she watched the image on her huge crystal ball of Sofia’s group resting themselves from their dancing)*

Sorceress: **I know we hold sway**

**Over all we survey**

**But we now need**

**A much bigger deal**

**The items and girl are the keys**

**To the making of us**

**So find them and bring them**

**To heel**

**So, with the children here**

**I hope we may clear**

**What they have to surrender**

**And why?**

**It’s the end of the line**

**The items and girl are ours**

**You’re welcome our pretties**

*(She spoke then)*

Sorceress: Yes, you’re welcome, our pretties.

*(She concludes her song)*

Sorceress: **To die**

**Die**

*(She cackles evilly a bit. At the Haunted Forest, the group are resting themselves for a while)*

Ray: Phew. Man, that pesky Jitterbug really took the chucklehuck strength out of us.

Louis: Tell me about it.

*(Amber then got up in a hurry)*

James: Where are you going, Amber?

Amber: Bathroom.

James: Okay.

Sofia: But don’t wander off.

Hugo: Or else something bad might happen.

Isabel: That's right.

Desmond: Be careful.

Amber: Okay.

*(She walks away a little further to go. Sofia’s group meanwhile began talking)*

Eeyore: How far are we from the castle and tower?

Namine: Only one mile left from this spot.

Goofy: How do you know?

Namine: I’ve seen this spot from the window far away.

Lollie: A million times for the past fourteen years stuck in the tower.

Rainbow: Give or take.

Clover: That's a lot.

*(Getting it, Sofia's group brightened up)*

Charlie: Looks like we’ll make it there!

*(With Amber, she sighed in relief, having went to the bathroom. Then she started walking back to the group)*

Amber: Can’t wait to see the Wizard’s face when we come back victorious.

*(She began to ponder)*

Amber: Hmm…. I wonder if we’re near or far from the castle and tower?

*(Suddenly, something zipped by in the air, getting her attention. She turned back to look and then suddenly, she jumped when a Winged Goblin swooped down and landed in front of her on the ground)*

Amber: Whoa!

*(She got suspicious)*

Amber: What do you want?

*(Suddenly, she noticed more Winged Goblins and even the Toon Patrol behind the first Winged Goblin. She gasped and ran back to the others screaming. Hearing her scream, Sofia's group turned and saw the Winged Goblins and Toon Patrol emerging and flying and charging at them and the running Amber)*

Sora: A Winged Goblin ambush!

Kairi: And the Toon Patrol's with them!

Sofia's Kansas group: Amber, hurry!

*(Just after Amber made it, two Winged Goblins dove down and snatched her up into the air)*

Amber: Put me down!

*(She tried to shield herself with her Rainbow Amulet, making them drop her. Just when Tigger went to catch her, a Winged Goblin dove down, and, with Greasy's help, knocked him back, and then Greasy and another Winged Goblin grabbed Amber instead. Despite trying to fight them, she was whisked off)*

Amber: Sofia, guys! Help!

*(Sofia's group then proceeded to try and fight off the Winged Goblins and Toon Patrol, but then Psycho and another Winged Goblin went down and knocked the Elemental Sword out of Hugo’s hands and onto the ground. He runs after it with Sofia's help, but Wise Guy and another Winged Goblin grab at the two and carried them off. Sofia, however, kicks the Winged Goblin and Wise Guy, making them drop her and Hugo onto the ground from the kick's force. Hugo and Sofia then took shelter underneath a tree to wait on cue to get the Elemental Sword and/or hope someone will get it for Hugo. Suddenly, Charlie and Itchy noticed the Elemental Sword on the ground and were about to get it for Hugo, but another Winged Goblin and Stupid pushed them into the rest of Charlie's group, causing them to fall into a hole. The rest of Sofia's group are fighting some Winged Goblins off when three Winged Goblins grabbed Desmond, Isabel, and James and carried them off)*

James: Hey!

Isabel: Let go of us!

*(Noticing them in danger, Namine goes after them)*

Namine: James, Desmond, Isabel, hang on!

Desmond: No, Namine!

James: Just run!

*(Then with that, the three Winged Goblins disappeared into the sky with Desmond, James, and Isabel. Then two other Winged Goblins noticed Sofia and Hugo fending off a few when they broke the tree and made them run out to get the Elemental Sword, but Wheezy kicked it aside into a deep mud puddle. Seeing Namine running from the Winged Goblins, Greasy, and Psycho, Sofia and Hugo ran to help her when out of nowhere, two Winged Goblins grabbed Sofia and Hugo and carried them off by Sofia's feet only so she won't kick back)*

Sofia and Hugo: Namine!

*(Noticing them, Namine ran to help them when more Winged Goblins flew at her)*

Namine: Sofia, Hugo!

Sofia: Namine, get help!

*(Running to get help, Namine hurried when she tripped and tumbled down a hill. Noticing more Winged Goblins diving at her with Greasy and Psycho assisting, she ran some more. A hidden Rainbow and Lollie and recovered Ray saw Namine running and secretly followed them. With Sofia's group, they were beaten down by the Winged Goblins that even poor Fender and Rodney’s bodies are scattered into pieces, but since they're robots, they won’t die from that. Clover then ran to the direction where the Winged Goblins are flying away with Sofia, Hugo, Desmond, James, Amber, and Isabel)*

Clover: Guys!

*(But Wise Guy, with a Winged Goblin carrying him, swooped down and grabbed him)*

Wise: (To Clover) Gotcha! *(To the Winged Goblin)* Back to the castle!

*(Then he and the Winged Goblin flew off with Clover in tow. Namine continued running until she saw the tower and then stopped running to face the Winged Goblins, Greasy, and Psycho. They arrived, but she blasted some away with her magic. Suddenly, more Winged Goblins approached next to the others, Greasy, and Psycho, and, feeling outnumbered, Namine ran and took shelter behind a boulder, hoping her friends will come and save her)*

Namine: (Whispering) My friends will help me, my friends will help me!

*(Suddenly, she heard the Winged Goblins screeching and Greasy and Psycho grunting in pain upon being hit by something. She got confused at first, but then prepared herself when footsteps approached her. She jumped out only to see Sly Fox, standing over the unconscious Winged Goblins, Greasy, and Psycho with a huge club)*

Namine: Mother?

*(Sly Fox panted in concern, threw the club aside, ran up to her, and hugged her, much to Namine’s confusion)*

Sly Fox: Thank goodness, you’re okay!

Namine: How did you…?

Sly Fox: I saw them chase you and I had to help.

*(In the forest, Rainbow, Lollie, and Ray saw the whole thing and remained hidden, with Ray dimming his light. Back near the tower, Namine broke off the hug and spoke in defiance)*

Namine: My friends will come.

Sly Fox: What?

Namine: They will come! We’re going to defeat you and the Sorceress, even if it hurts me!

*(Sly Fox went solemn)*

Sly Fox: You mean…? These guys?

*(She showed an image of the group back in the Haunted Forest, appearing to be dead. Namine gasped in shock)*

Namine: No!

Sly Fox: Yes. I was thinking of warming up to them, but…. It’s too late.

*(Namine panted in disbelief)*

Namine: And Sofia and the others?

Sly Fox: Also dead.

*(Namine looked at the Haunted Forest. Realization slowly dawned upon her that her friends are dead, all because of the dangers of the outside world and that she nearly got killed by it. She then teared up and started to cry softly. She then turned and saw Sly Fox calmly beckon her to return in a melancholy way. Namine teared up even more and ran up to her and hugged her)*

Namine: (Crying) You were right, Mother. About everything. About me. I’m never leaving this tower again.

Sly Fox: I understand.

*(They go up to the tower window with Sly Fox and Namine using Namine's hair to go up there. Looking out at the distance, Sly Fox secretly smirked evilly, for her trap for Namine worked. Now Namine will never leave the tower again. Once the two are in the tower and Ray secretly flew up to the window, the Winged Goblins, Greasy, and Psycho got up, having pretended along with Sly Fox to be knocked out, and flew back to the castle. Back in the bushes, Rainbow and Lollie, however, saw the whole thing, and stayed hidden to wait for Ray. Inside Namine's room in the tower, Namine remained glum while seated on her bed as Sly Fox finished wiping the mirror)*

Sly Fox: There, all clean.

*(She noticed Namine still glum and tried to cheer her up, but with deceit, as she sat next to her. Outside the window while hidden, Ray listened in)*

Sly Fox: Namine, I understand *and* know you’re upset about your friends, but I tried to warn you, the world is cruel and dangerous, that it took them from you.

*(She got up and walked to the curtained doorway)*

Sly Fox: Even if there was a Silver Lining of hope, it will die like your friends did.

*(Namine remained silent and glum. Sly Fox, deep down realized Namine is still upset about her friends and got annoyed, but she kept a fake sympathetic look)*

Sly Fox: I’ll let you rest alone for now. But think about what I said.

Namine: (Sadly) Okay.

*(Sly Fox nods and then leaves, closing the curtain. Namine then hung her head down sadly again and sighed sadly. Once the coast is clear, Ray flew in next to Namine)*

Ray: *Chere*, why'd y'all return here? With that witch?

Namine: Because my friends have been killed by the dangers of the outside world. And Mother was right, I should've listened to her.

Ray: (Reassuringly) Now, now. That's what Sly Fox want you to believe.

Namine: But, Ray....

Ray: (Continuing) And I know, for a fact our friends ain't dead.

Namine: (Starting to tense) Ray...!

Ray: (Continuing) And like Evangeline *(Points at Evangeline's star in the sky now that it's nighttime)* always says....

*(Namine finally snapped calmly, quieting Ray)*

Namine: (In sadness and anger) Enough, Ray! Evangeline is nothing but a star! A big ball of light a million miles away in the sky!

*(Noticing Ray becoming sad slowly, Namine melted her anger away and just remained sad)*

Namine: I understand she's dead and a star now, but you gotta open your eyes. Before it's too late for you like me.

*(Then she lowered her head sadly again, turning away from Ray, who got sad even more. After flying out of the tower window, he teared up calmly, hurt by Namine's snap, even though he knows she never meant to. Then he looked up at Evangeline's star)*

Ray: (Tearfully) She just speaking out from a broken heart. That's all that is.

*(He wipes his tears away with a sniffle and then composed himself in determination)*

Ray: Come on, Evangeline. We gonna show *Chere* the truth!

(Then he flew back into the bushes where Rainbow and Lollie awaited them)

Lollie: Is she heartbroken?

Ray: Yes. But we gonna get help!

Lollie: (Nods) Indeed.

Rainbow: Before we head back to the others, let's get Sofia's Kansas group first.

Ray and Lollie: (Nods) Right.

*(Then they ran, or flew in Ray's case, to the direction of the Sorceress’ castle. Back in the Haunted Forest, the group recovered, actually alive from the attack. They see Fender and Rodney broken into pieces and dizzy, they ran up to him in concern)*

Piglet: What happened to you and Rodney, Fender?

Itchy: You look terrible!

*(Fender and Rodney snapped out of their dizzyness and explained)*

Rodney: Of course we're looking terrible!

Fender: They tore our arms off and threw them over there! Then they tore our legs off and threw them over here and then…!

Rabbit: That’s you all over!

Swiper: Obviously!

Tom and Jerry: We get it!

Gabu: They sure tore you apart.

Roo: But where’s the Elemental Sword?

*(Eeyore revealed that he has it in his mouth, all muddied up, making the group relieved)*

Tigger: (To Eeyore) Good job, Eeyore. *(To Riku's group)* Riku, you and your friends are mechanics, right?

Donald: On flying things only.

Riku: And we want to also become knights.

Rabbit: Well, get out of your comfort zone.

Charlie: You and your friends are gonna have to fix Fender and Rodney up.

Donald: What?! But…!

Sora: He’s right, Donald.

Fender: Put me and Rodney together so we can find the others.

Rodney: We can't stay broken forever.

Goofy: But what if we mess up?

Itchy: You won't.

Swiper: If you want to find Sofia and the others, especially Namine, you can do this.

Mei: We believe in you.

*(Realizing they’re right, Riku's group got determined)*

Riku's group: Alright.

Yuki: We'll do it.

*(Donald pulls a mechanic supply case out of his backpack and with Riku's group's help, started to work on Fender and Rodney)*

Kairi: Now let’s see….

*At the Sorceress’ castle, the Sorceress is holding a struggling Clover away from an angry Sofia's Kansas group, for Sofia's Kansas group, by now, are no longer afraid of her and Sly Fox due to their journey giving them all the confidence they needed to brave all of Oz)*

Clover: Let go of me!

Sorceress: What nice little bunny.

Sofia: Give him back now!

*(The Sorceress then placed Clover in a basket and locked it. At the doorway, Ray, Rainbow, and Lollie, having snuck past the rhynocs, weasels, heffalumps, and woozles, made it and witnessed what they’re seeing)*

Sorceress: And as for you six, it’s so kind of you to visit my castle.

James: (Angrily) Flattery won’t get you nowhere.

Isabel and Amber: (Angrily) Yeah!

Sofia: (Angrily) Now give my rabbit back!

Sorceress: All in good time.

Desmond and Isabel: Wrong answer!

*(They and Sofia were about to punch and kick, but the Sorceress stopped them by grabbing their arms and Stan and Heff grabbing Sofia's ankles)*

Sorceress: Behave yourself! And I shall give you your rabbit back, after you give back the Ruby Slippers, Topaz Bracelet, Sapphire Hat, Rainbow Amulet, and Diamond Gauntlets.

*(Sofia's Kansas group got defiant as the Sorceress released her grip on Desmond and Isabel's arms and Stan and Heff released their grips on Sofia's ankles)*

Hugo, Desmond, and James: Over our dead bodies!

Sofia, Amber, and Isabel: We even promised Miss Piggy!

*(The Sorceress reacted calmly at first, then smirked evilly at Stan and Heff who’re now holding the basket, still containing Clover)*

Sorceress: Very well.

*(She spoke to Stan and Heff)*

Sorceress: Throw that basket into the river and drown that pest!

*(The children got shocked)*

Sofia's Kansas group: What?!

*(They go to grab Stan and Heff, but the Sorceress stopped them again)*

Sorceress: Give the items back or the rabbit dies.

*(Angry at the Sorceress for threatening Clover’s life, Sofia's Kansas group suddenly remembered that the items won’t let her or Sly Fox steal them from them. Then they pretend to give in)*

Sofia: Alright.

Amber and Isabel: Take them.

Hugo, Desmond, and James: But don’t hurt Clover.

Sorceress: Good. I knew you’d see reason.

*(She reaches for the Ruby Slippers first, but a barrier knocked her hands back, shocking her. Sofia's Kansas group smiled smugly at her)*

Desmond: Well, well, well.

Sofia: It seems they won’t let you take them.

Amber: Now if you’ll excuse us….

Hugo: We’ll be on our way.

*(They were about to leave when the Sorceress recovered)*

Sorceress: Not so fast!

*(Sofia's Kansas group got angry when the Sorceress blocked the way again)*

Sorceress: I forgot that I can’t take them by force!

*(She suddenly realized and smirked evilly at them, much to Sofia's Kansas group’s confusion)*

Sorceress: Those items will never come off as long as you three are alive. But that’s not what worries me or Sly Fox. It’s how to do it. These things must be done perfectly. Otherwise, it’ll hurt the spells.

*(Seizing the chance, Ray, Rainbow, and Lollie ran up to the basket secretly and unlocked it, freeing Clover. Sofia's Kansas group noticed from their narrow view secretly and pretended not to notice. Unfortunately, Clover, Rainbow, Lollie, and Ray accidentally knocked over a small statue while trying to run, getting everyone’s attention)*

Lollie: Move it or lose it, guys!

Clover, Rainbow, and Ray: Come on!

Sofia's Kansas group: Run!

*(They go to escape too, but the Sorceress backed them off. She then angrily ordered Stan and Heff)*

Sorceress: After those pests, fools!

*(Stan and Heff ran after them. At the drawbridge, Clover, Rainbow, and Lollie jumped down onto the rocks and ran off with Ray flying by their side as Stan, Heff, the Toon Patrol, and the rhynocs threw spears at them. But luckily, Clover, Rainbow, Lollie, and Ray dodged the spears and continued to run, or fly in Ray's case, back into the Haunted Forest to get help. Sofia's Kansas group got relieved upon seeing this from the window)*

Sofia: They got away!

Hugo: Yes!

Isabel: Hopefully, they’ll find help!

Desmond, Amber, and James: Yeah!

Sorceress: As if!

*(Sofia's Kansas group darted for the door again, but the Sorceress blocked the way again, agitating them)*

James: Oh, come on!

*(The Sorceress spoke to them)*

Sorceress: This will soon be over!

*(She placed a barrier over the window)*

Sorceress: So you won’t climb out!

*(She picks up an hourglass containing red sand)*

Sorceress: See this? This will time me when I will return to reclaim the items after I find a way to kill you. And it isn’t long, my pretties. It isn’t long. I can’t wait forever to get those items!

*(She flips the hourglass and puts it down)*

Sofia: Well, not if we flip it!

*(She reached for the hourglass, but a magic barrier stopped her)*

Sorceress: It won't let anyone but me touch it.

*(Sofia's Kansas group ran for the door again, but….)*

Sorceress: Beat you.

*(She leaves the room, quickly slams the door, and locked it. Angered, Sofia's Kansas group banged on the door, trying to open it)*

Sofia's Kansas group: Let us out! Let us out!

*(But nothing. They couldn’t get the door open. They see the window and tried to break the barrier, but to no avail)*

Amber: Come on!

*(Desmond slaps the barrier)*

Desmond: Hugo, if you still had the Elemental Sword, it would’ve been easy!

Isabel: Don’t give up!

*(Sofia and Isabel begins kicking and punching at the barrier again, until they got exhausted and while Sofia rested near the big crystal ball, Hugo, Isabel, James, Amber, and Desmond sat by the throne in concern for Sofia)*

Desmond: There’s nothing we can do.

Amber: We’re stuck here.

James: All because they prevented us from escaping here.

*(Sofia’s exhausted panting calmed down as she heard them say it. Then she felt glum)*

Sofia: I bet everyone back home is worried sick about us besides worrying about my mom.

Hugo: Unaware that we’re gonna die soon when the Sorceress comes back figuring out how to kill us.

*(Slowly realizing they might be right, Sofia slowly looked at the hourglass spilling the sand below)*

Hugo: But we have each other, that’s what matters.

*(Sofia suddenly got saddened)*

Sofia: Yeah, but….

James: We’re trapped.

Amber: There’s nothing we can do about it.

Hugo: Unless Clover, Rainbow, Lollie, and Ray bring help.

Sofia: (Trying to be hopeful) Then we'll just wait for them.

Desmond: But what if Clover, Rainbow, Lollie, and Ray don’t make it?

*(Hearing those words, Sofia got sad even more. Then she fought the urge to cry again. Taking her picture of her, her family, and friends out of her other dress pocket, she began to smile sadly while fighting the urge to cry)*

Sofia: (Sadly) Guys, do you remember how Nino always helped us out from getting hurt or dirty, like with the pigpen before?

*(Hugo, Desmond, James, Amber, and Isabel heard her and nodded softly with glum looks. Sofia then holds back a sob as a tear streamed down her left cheek)*

Sofia: (Sadly) We could recall the times we laughed, ate, and played together.

*(She holds a sob in as a tear now streamed down her right cheek)*

Sofia: (Voice breaking) I even miss sleeping in my own bed at night. It was so comfortable.

*(She then started to sing)*

Sofia: (Voice breaking) **That counterpane**

**Upon my bed**

**The flaking plaster**

**On my head**

**How I miss it**

*(Sofia sniffles as she tried to fight her crying)*

Sofia: (Voice breaking) **Someday, we’ll wake**

**And rub our eyes**

**And in that land**

**Beyond the skies**

**You’ll find us**

*(She then spoke sadly)*

Sofia: (Voice breaking) As well as Clover.

*(She then resumed her sad singing)*

Sofia: (Voice breaking) **Somewhere over the rainbow**

**Bluebirds fly**

**Birds fly over the rainbow**

**Why then?**

**Oh, why did we?**

*(Tears finally flooded their eyes as she tried to fight the urge to cry still)*

Sofia: (Voice breaking) We just wanted us to see the world and escape our troubles, but….

*(She sobs)*

Sofia: (Voice breaking) We never got away from it!

*(Hugo, Desmond, James, Amber, and Isabel got concerned)*

Hugo, Desmond, James, Amber, and Isabel: Sofia….

*(But Sofia tearfully ignored them)*

Sofia: (Voice breaking) And our home needed us when we wanted to leave it! And now….

*(Sofia clenched the picture in her hands and after dropping it, she finally broke down crying and hugged herself on the sides. Then then pulled her handkerchief out and buried her face in it as she continued sobbing. Seeing this, Hugo, James, Desmond, Amber, and Isabel hung their heads in calm sadness. As Sofia continued sobbing, the hourglass got half its sand down already. Sofia then unburied her face from her handkerchief and with it, began to wipe her tears away as she calmed her sobbing down. Then two drops of her tears dripped onto the edge of the big crystal ball she is still seated near. Suddenly, as if it reacted to her tears, the crystal ball glowed, getting Sofia's Kansas group’s attention. Suddenly, an image appeared, showing Miranda, Roland, the Miraculous Heroes, and even Victor and Carla looking around for something in a nearby town near Topeka with missing persons posters of Sofia's Kansas group and even Clover, for they were looking for them now that the twister is gone. Noticing Miranda is actually alright, Sofia's Kansas group got confused)*

Sofia: My mom’s actually…? Alright?

Amber: I thought Cedric said…?

*(Hugo figured it out slowly and explained calmly)*

Hugo: We knew he was a fake magician, right?

*(Sofia nods as she slowly realized)*

Sofia: I bet he lied to me about the heart attack…. To help me make amends with everyone, with your help.

*(They watch the crystal ball and listened. They see Miranda crying softly in Roland’s comforting hug)*

Roland: There, there. I know we shouldn't have been hard on Sofia.

Miranda: (Crying) I know! If we had listened to them, none of this would’ve happened!

*(Sofia's Kansas group got surprised. Then they see Victor and Carla approach to comfort them)*

Roland: Did they see them?

Victor: No, unfortunately.

*(Miranda stopped crying calmly and turned to Victor and Carla with a soft smile)*

Miranda: I’m glad you told us about your Mrs. Delgado's lie about the sheriff’s order, but…. What matters most is not only Clover, but also my daughter and her friends.

*(The Miraculous Heroes came up to them with confident smiles to cheer them up)*

Alya: If we know Sofia and her friends, they and Clover would handle themselves.

Nino: And find a bite to eat!

Chloe: And probably find their way home.

Marinette: And probably self-defend themselves from danger.

Adrien: Yeah. Like muggers.

Marinette: Adrien!

Adrien: Just saying that because I, too, am worried about them.

Chloe: That’s the spirit showing your concern!

*(Watching this, Sofia's Kansas group gave soft smiles and chuckled softly, although Sofia's was more tearful, glad to see that everyone is there for them in realization)*

Marinette: Anyway, where is Mrs. Delgado, out of curiosity?

Victor: She’s at the hospital.

Carla: She broke her leg from being sent up flying by the twister just as it ended.

Roland: And before the twister hit, what did she do when she realized you helped Clover escape?

Carla: She scolded me and Daddy for letting him go and then we ran away to warn you by sneaking out after she sent me to my room as punishment for letting Clover go free.

Victor: And when the twister hit, the two of us managed to take shelter in a storm-cellar in Hugo’s backyard.

Miranda: And you saw Mrs. Delgado hurt and alive after the twister?

Victor: A woman who saw the whole thing in the same storm-cellar as me and Carla told us.

*(Then Adrien spoke up impatiently)*

Adrien: Less chatting, more searching, people!

*(They realized suddenly and resumed their search. Happy again while watching this, Sofia wiped the last of her tears away as Hugo, James, Desmond, Amber, and Isabel looked on proudly)*

Hugo: I knew they would look for us!

Amber and Isabel: Yeah!

Desmond: Yeah.

Sofia: They *do* understand us.

James: And they will always be there for us.

*(Suddenly, after Sofia puts her handkerchief back in her pocket and then picks her picture up and puts it back in her other pocket, the crystal ball went dark, much to their shock and confusion and then anger)*

Sofia's Kansas group: What the…?!

Sofia: Where’s Mom, Dad, and everyone?!

Amber: Why did it vanish?!

Hugo: (To the crystal ball angrily) Come back on!

Sofia's Kansas group: (Angrily) Bring them back now!

*(Suddenly, the Sorceress’ image appeared in the crystal ball, much to Sofia's Kansas group’s shock)*

Sorceress: (Mockingly) Bring them back, bring them back!

*(Then she spoke up wickedly with an evil smirk as Sofia's Kansas group got angry slowly, with Desmond’s boiling over)*

Sorceress: (Wickedly) I’ll give you your precious family and friends!

*(She cackles wickedly as she vanished. In a fury, Desmond then punched the crystal ball, shattering it. He panted in anger)*

Amber: Show her, Desmond!

*(Sofia's Kansas group noticed the hourglass and saw the sand still pouring down halfway. They look at the window and with newfound determination, they tried to break the barrier down again)*

Sofia: Come on!

*(Suddenly, she and Isabel kick and punch the barrier simultaneously in frustration and part of the barrier opened and then closed. They got surprised. Then Sofia and Isabel did it again and this time, they held the barrier open)*

Sofia: Why didn’t we think of that?

*(Sofia's Kansas group then shrugged casually, now knowing they can escape. Then while holding the barrier open, they carefully climbed out the window and once outside, Sofia and Isabel let the barrier go, closing it up, and then the six began bravely climbing carefully down the castle wall towards the ground on a lot of harmless ivy)*

***Coming up: Clover, Rainbow, Lollie, and Ray find and bring the group to the castle to rescue the escaping Sofia's Kansas group first and then to the tower to rescue Namine. Then after a near close-call of nearly getting captured by the guards upon finding Sofia's Kansas group, Sofia's group then get out thanks to Fat Tony's gang's intervention and after they and Fat Tony's gang escape, they head for Namine's rescue. At the same time, Namine finally makes a shocking discovery about herself and Sly Fox’s lies and true colors and goes to escape.***
