Morpheus, Volteer, Grace, Eraqus, Erika, Squall, and Rinoa Captured/Sora, Ash, and Nemo Captured

*(Back at the river, Sora's group is hanging around, unaware of what happened back at the palace, with Sora skipping some pebbles across the water)*

Sora: Hey, Ash! Bet you can't skip a pebble better than me.

Ash: You wish.

Pikachu: (Happily agreeing) Pikachu!

*(Ash and Pikachu tossed another of their own pebbles and they skipped across the water, much to the group's amazement)*

Ash: Ten skips!

Nemo: A new record!

*(The group, except Meowth's group, cheered and applauded a bit. Squall's group then turned to Sora's group with grins)*

Squall: Well, Sora, boys....

Morpheus: That is a bunch of fine rock skips you made.

Rinoa: And you will make great trusted assistant advisors, we assure you.

Erika: As a reward even more for opening us up to Meowth's group.

Eraqus: And for that, we thank you for it.

Squall's group except Eraqus and Erika: (Agreeing) Yeah.

*(Sora's group smiled. They leave Squall's group's side as they, along with Flip, Pikachu, Aku-Aku, and Crunch, go back to a still glum Meowth's group)*

Sora: Well, Meowth, guys, looks like we're having a lot of fun thanks to this quality time.

Nemo: And it's all thanks to you!

Flip: So, come on! Get loose.

Aku-Aku: Have some fun.

Meowth: (Sighs) Don't bother thanking us.

Meowth's group except Meowth: Not really.

*(Sora's group, Flip, Pikachu, Aku-Aku, and Crunch got confused)*

Sora: (Confused) What do you mean?

Ash: (Confused) And I wonder why Stellaluna and Meowzie are taking long to come here.

Crunch: (Realizing in confusion) Come to think of it, you're right.

Aku-Aku: (Pondering) Where are they?

Pikachu: (Confused) Pika?

*(Suddenly, Pikachu sensed something bad coming and stanced himself in determination)*

Pikachu: (In determination, sparking some electricity in his cheeks) Pika...!

Ash: (Confused) What is it, Pikachu? Danger?

*(Then without warning, cloaked thieves on black horses came out of nowhere riding past them going at Squall's group)*

Sora's group, Flip, Aku-Aku, and Crunch: You're majesties!

Pikachu: (In shock and concern) Pikachu!

*(Sora's group, Flip, Pikachu, Aku-Aku, and Crunch tried to run to help the seven, but someone pushed them to the ground. They looked and see four certain villains on one of the horses)*

Sora's group, Flip, Aku-Aku, and Crunch: (Shocked with Pikachu) Ruggedo, Bulba, Hunter J, and Splatter Phoenix?!

Bulba: Surprise!

*(The other horse riders grab Squall's group and rode off, nearly running over Sora and Meowth's groups, Flip, Pikachu, Aku-Aku, and Crunch in the progress, getting away. As the villains, except Bulba, Hunter J, and Splatter Phoenix, got away with Squall's group, the heroes recovered)*

Sora: Come on!

Crunch: We gotta save them!

*(They were about to run when they see Meowth's group standing there, doing nothing in concern)*

Ash: Meowth, guys, come on!

Nemo: They're getting away!

Flip: Why are you just standing there?

*(Then Bulba, Hunter J, and Splatter Phoenix smirked evilly at them)*

Splatter Phoenix: (Sarcastically) My, didn't you know?

Hunter J: (Sarcastically) Meowth's group here set this up.

Bulba: They had no intention of reforming whatsoever.

*(The three then ride off. The heroes looked at Meowth's group in disbelief)*

Flip: (In shock and disbelief) What?

Sora: It can't be true.

Ash: Tell us it's not true.

Pikachu: (In shock and disbelief) Pika.

*(Meowth's group didn't say a word, hanging their heads in shame. A wave of betrayal slowly descending on them, Sora's group, Flip, Pikachu, Aku-Aku, and Crunch got slowly angry and Ash, Flip, and Pikachu grabbed Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Meowth by their jumpsuits and chest respectively)*

Ash: You traitors!

Sora: We trusted you, yet you lied to us!

Flip: And we even took you in!

Pikachu: (Angrily agreeing) Pika!

Meowth's group: But you...!

*(But the confession-proof spell prevented them from continuing, unnoticed by the heroes)*

Nemo: We're not stupid!

Aku-Aku and Crunch: You set us up!

Squall's group: Guys, help!

*(Concerned for Squall's group, Ash, Flip, and Pikachu threw Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Meowth onto the ground in anger)*

Ash and Flip: We'll deal with you later!

Pikachu: (Angrily agreeing) Pika!

*(Sora's group, Flip, Pikachu, Aku-Aku, and Crunch then quickly boarded Crunch's Gummi Ship and flew themselves to the villains and seven captives. After catching up to them, the heroes saw that the riders are going towards a cliff)*

Ash: Good!

Crunch: They would be trapped on a cliff soon!

Flip: So when they stop....

Aku-Aku: Uh, guys?

Ash, Flip, and Crunch: Yeah?

Nemo: (Pointing) They don't look like they are going to stop.

*(Suddenly the horses jumped off the cliff and began to sprout black wings, much to the heroes' surprise while Bulba activated his jetpack and flew with the riders)*

Sora: Ruggedo's gang know magic?

*(Shaking off the surprise, the heroes flew after the flying riders. Squall's group looked concerned as Rinoa, Grace, and Erika tried not to look down. The heroes quickly flew around the cloaked riders very fast. As the riders looked confused, Sora's group grabbed Squall's group, who then boarded into the Gummi Ship and they flew off, making their escape)*

Ruggedo: (Surprised) How did they do that?

Hunter J: Get the rulers!

Bulba and Splatter Phoenix: Now!

*(The heroes turned as they began to go back the way they came. It seems that they are safe until a big whirlpool came from the water and rammed into the heroes, knocking them off course. Suddenly, Squall's group was pulled into it)*

Squall's group: Guys!

Sora's group, Flip, Aku-Aku, and Crunch: You're majesties!

Pikachu: (In concern) Pika!

*(They flew to the whirlpool just as the rulers of Agrabah are about to disappear. Sora's group and Flip leaned over to try to grab Squall's group's own hands. But suddenly the whirlpool lifted a water tendril up and pulled the heroes in. Then Sora's group got spit out, leaving Flip, Pikachu, Aku-Aku, and Crunch trapped in the whirlpool with Squall's group. Sora's group fell into the water and begins to drift towards a waterfall. Sora's group grabbed onto a part of the cliff. But then they looked up and yelped as they see Ruggedo's group laughing evilly a bit on their horses, or standing with his still-activated jetpack in Bulba's case, as they kicked Sora's group, causing them to let go and lose consciousness upon hitting their heads on a nearby rock. Soon the three boys are about to fall over the waterfall)*

Ruggedo: Yes! They're done for!

Bulba, Hunter J, and Splatter Phoenix: (Slyly) Not necessarily.

Ruggedo: (Confused) Eh?

*(Suddenly one of the riders held up a hand and shot Sora's group's unconscious bodies with a blast, stopping them before they reached the bottom)*

Ruggedo: (Shocked) What are you doing to them?!

Splatter Phoenix: It looks like they're being saved.

Bulba and Hunter J: For now.

Ruggedo: I know that from what I see!

*(Sora's group's unconscious bodies was then carried over the gorge and landed in the river safely. The boys then began to drift downstream, unaware that they got saved. Ruggedo's group and the riders landed on a cliff. The angry Nome King got off his horse along with his gang and go to the rider that saved Sora's group while Bulba casually deactivated his jetpack)*

Ruggedo: Why did you save them?! We were so close!

*(The riders then climbed off as eight of them transformed back into Myotismon's group and their henchmen. Myotismon, Vanitas, Xehanort, and Merlock glared at Ruggedo along with their henchmen, Bulba, Hunter J, and Splatter Phoenix)*

Ruggedo: We almost got rid of those miserable...!

*(Ruggedo was cut off when Splatter Phoenix grabs him by the collar)*

Bulba, Hunter J, and Splatter Phoenix: LISTEN YOU...!!

*(The three calmed down and Splatter Phoenix then released Ruggedo as the three chuckled slightly a bit)*

Splatter Phoenix: Remember, we aren't going to kill those boys yet.

Bulba: That's right.

Negaduck and Hunter J: Yes.

Shere Khan: And we, along with Myotismon's group, know of a more painful way to do it.

Vanitas: Which is why I levitated them into the river for now.

*(Realizing, Ruggedo understood while he got sheepish while the thieves pulled the unconscious Squall's group, Flip, Pikachu, Aku-Aku, and Crunch out of the water after the whirlpool subsided)*

Ruggedo: (Sheepishly) Oh, I knew that.

Merlock: (Flatly) Sure you did.

Myotismon: The time will be at hand, our friends.

Vanitas: And soon, Ruggedo, you will finally get your third wish.

Ruggedo: Oh boy! I'm going to get my third wish!

Bulba: (Greedily in sarcasm) Oh, yes...

*(Myotismon's group and their henchmen smirked as they turned to Meowth's group, who is still feeling guilty)*

Vanitas: And you guys, especially you, Widget, you have done well.

Meowth's group: (Sighs sadly) Don't mention it.

*(Evening came later as Sora's group is washed up onshore in the desert. They slowly wake up catching their breath after coughing a bit)*

Ash: Are you okay, guys?

*(Immediately realizing upon hearing Ash ask that, Sora and Nemo responded in determination)*

Nemo: No, we are not okay!

Sora: Our friends are captured!

*(Realizing as well, Ash agreed in determination)*

Ash: Come on! We gotta get back to the palace and tell everyone!

*(Sora's group then got up and quickly ran back to Agrabah's direction. In the dungeon back at the palace, Squall's group, Flip, Pikachu, and Crunch, now awake, are chained to the wall next to Crash's group and the rest of Sora's gang, with Crash, Sombra, and Gene still trapped in the glass orb prison, as the villains looked on sinisterly. Meowth's group is nearby with the still caged Stellaluna and Meowzie, still feeling guilty)*

Rinoa: Myotismon's group, you traitors!

Squall: Why are we not surprised that you are behind this somehow?!

Grace: And we bet you used Meowth's group...!

Myotismon: Oh, but if it weren't for Meowth's group here, none of it would've happened.

*(Ruggedo's group and their gang, meanwhile, are trying to restrain Aku-Aku, also awake, who is trying to escape)*

Ruggedo: Guys! This mask is giving us problems!

Bulba: And it bonks badly too along with his magic!

Aku-Aku: Get your hands off of me!

*(Aku-Aku then zapped Ruggedo's group into their thieves, allowing him to escape their hold. He then made his getaway to a nearby window)*

Leo: Go, Aku-Aku!

Crash's group: Get help!

Stellaluna and Meowzie: Hurry!

Demidevimon: (Laughing a bit) Sorry, but no can do for him.

*(Myotismon, Vanitas, Xehanort, and Merlock held out their hands and zapped Aku-Aku. They dragged him over to a wall where chains proceed in chaining him to the wall)*

Mohawk: (Groaning a bit) Aw, great!

Sabrina: He almost made it!

Aku-Aku: (Struggles a bit) Obviously!

Crash: (To the villains) Stupid jerks!

Squall: (Angrily) Mark mine and my group's words, Myotismon's group.

Rinoa: When Sora's group get back here...!

Myotismon: On the contrary, I am counting on them to do so.

Vanitas: (Sneeringly) So, mark *our* words.

Negaduck: And we got one more surprise left for them.

*(Vanitas and Shere Khan then rips Squall and Eraqus' parts of their own jackets, Morpheus' royal cape, Rinoa's bottom part of her sleeveless jacket, Grace's left sleeve of her shirt, and Erika's right bottom part of her skirt with their Keyblade and claws respectively and then with one brief soft slashes of their own, cuts Squall's group's own palms, covering the ripped cloths in their blood)*

Ruggedo: What's up with that idea? Did you just...?

Vanitas: These cloths are very important because it will be needed for our plan.

Shere Khan: Along with their blood.

Ruggedo: What for?

Dijon: Yeah, what for?

Xehanort: Why, to seal Sora's group's fate.

Merlock: And Dijon, we told you that already.

Dijon: (Realizing) Oh, yeah, that's right. I forgot.

*(Then Ruggedo realized something)*

Ruggedo: Wait a minute! There's one hiccup in that plan. What if the princesses, their professor, and those boys' guard friends...?

*(Casually realizing upon hearing him, the villains calmly gestured him to quiet)*

Splatter Phoenix: Not to worry.

Hunter J: We got it all under control.

Negaduck: We'll make sure they don't intervene.

Demidevimon: With a little twist alert to seal those boys' fate.

*(We now see Sora's group as they continued to cross the desert, unaware of what's about to happen once they get back to Agrabah. In Kairi's group's room, they hung around with Pura, Polar, Baby T, Lillipup, and Riku, Namine, and Drake's groups, with Drake and Fenton now dressed as Darkwing and Gizmoduck again, when suddenly, a huge shadow looms over them, and, upon noticing, they turned and gasped in horror)*

Kairi, Riku, Namine, and Darkwing's groups: (While Pura, Polar, Baby T, and Lillipup are shocked as they are) You again?!

*(Then we fade to black. Meanwhile, nighttime fell at Agrabah by the time Sora's group returned to the palace. After they climbed up some steps, they looked up and saw Don Karnage waiting for them, looking angry)*

Sora's group: Don Karnage!

Ash: Thank goodness!

Nemo: Listen, there's trouble!

Sora: It's Squall's group! They...!

Don Karnage: (Pointing at them) Seize them!

*(Mad Dog, Dumptruck, and Gibber then grabbed a shocked Sora's group as the pirate guard captain continued)*

Don Karnage: You three no-good street rats are under arrest, for the murder of Squall's group!

Dumptruck: Bad boys!

Mad Dog: You're going to the dungeon!

*(Even Gibber grunts a bit in agreement)*

Sora's group: (Shocked) What?!

Nemo: No, wait!

*(They struggled helplessly a bit as the three guards took them away. In the dungeon later, Don Karnage listened to Sora's group as they explained their story)*

Don Karnage: So after that, you went over the waterfall upon losing consciousness like logs? *(Scoffs)* How did you survive that kind of long drop?

*(Hearing him ask that, Sora's group pondered a bit in confusion, and then shrugged in confusion)*

Sora: Well, we don't know.

Ash: Like we said, we lost consciousness when that happened.

Nemo: That's right.

Don Karnage: (Scoffs) Good story, but not good enough to consider me otherwise with your fraudulent murder scam!

Sora: Don Karnage, it's the truth!

Nemo: Why won't you listen to us?

Ash: Let alone believe us?

Kairi: (Voice-over) Because we know you're trying to lie to us.

*(Sora's group looked and saw to their shock Kairi, Riku, Namine, and Darkwing's groups at the doorway of the dungeon holding the cloth pieces that belonged to Squall's group that are covered in their blood)*

Serena: (Angrily) We found these cloths in your room.

Camille: (Angrily) Bloodied as if someone has cut them through!

Darkwing: (Angrily) With no mercy!

Riku, Namine, and Darkwing's groups except Darkwing: (Angrily) That's right!

Sora's group: (Shocked) Kairi, (Serena,) (Camille,) guys! We...!

Kairi: We should've known better than to love you!

Roxas: Let alone trust you, one of you mine and Ven's own brother!

Camille: You are using us all along so you can take over Agrabah!

Sora: No, guys, that isn't true!

Serena: Don't lie to us, traitors!

Kairi: (To Sora's group) Yeah, silence! *(To Don Karnage)* They shall die at dawn, for the murder of me and my cousins' aunts and uncles/parents!

*(Kairi, Riku, Namine, and Darkwing's groups exit the dungeon, closing the door on their way out)*

Sora's group: Guys, listen!

Don Karnage: (Pushing Sora's group) Forget it! You are in my hands now, street rats! And what will await you at dawn is not gonna be pleasant, yes, no?

*(We now see Kairi, Riku, Namine, and Darkwing's groups walking up some stairs, who suddenly gave calm evil smirks for some reason. After that, we see the captive heroes still chained up. Next to them are Pura, Polar, Baby T, Lillipup, and even Kairi, Riku, Namine, and Darkwing's groups. Wait, Kairi, Riku, Namine, and Darkwing's groups?! That's right, it turned out the shadows that loomed over them were the villains capturing them, so someone could make replicas of them to trick Don Karnage and his pirate guards into believing that Squall's group were "Murdered" so they won't intervene and prove Sora's group's innocence. The new captives struggled helplessly a bit as the thieves check to see if the chains are tight. When they stepped away, the replicas came into the room. They smirked evilly at the real ones as they changed into their true selves in the form of Myotismon's group, their henchmen, Bulba, Hunter J, and Splatter Phoenix)*

Splatter Phoenix: It has been done.

Hunter J: That's right.

Vanitas: If only you were there when Sora's group had those looks on their faces.

Genius: (Suspiciously) What kind of looks?

Roxas: (Suspiciously) What did you do to them?

Merlock: The looks that Princesses Kairi, Serena, and Camille, and even Riku, Namine, and Darkwing's groups have sentenced them to death!

Heroes: (Shocked) What?!

Riku and Darkwing's groups: (Angrily) You monsters!

Namine's group: (Angrily) Barbarians!

Kairi's group: (Shocked) No, Sora! (Ash!) (Nemo!)

Pikachu: (In shock and concern) Pikapi, pika...!

Ruggedo: (Laughs evilly a bit) Yes! Soon I will get my third wish!

Myotismon: (Annoyed) Yes, you will soon get your third wish.

Shere Khan: Indeed.

Camille: (To Meowth's group) None of us can't believe you!

Kairi: (To Meowth's group) We were willing to give you another chance and you betray us!

Bushroot: (Sighing) But you don't understand....

Negaduck: My, my. You have such great spirit, Princesses. Which I obviously hate.

Myotismon: Indeed.

*(Myotismon held Kairi's chin and pulled his hand away as Kairi tried to bite him)*

Myotismon: Perhaps a few days in chains will calm you and your cousins down, especially if you want your aunts and uncles/parents to remain healthy!

*(The villains turned to Meowth's group, who still felt guilty nearby)*

Vanitas: Betrayal really stings, doesn't it?

Negaduck: Shocking, isn't it?

Meowth: (Sighs) If you insist.

Meowth's group except Meowth: Betrayal really hurts.

*(The captives got concerned, mostly Stellaluna, Meowzie, and even a confused and suspicious Flip and Pikachu)*

***Coming up: Dawn arrives, and not wanting to see their friends, especially Flip and Pikachu, suffer even more and Sora's group about to die, Meowth's group redeem themselves in order to save Sora's group and the heroes from doom, and clear Sora's group's names. But will their redemption be accepted by Sora's group once that's all done?***
