Off to the Rescue and Search Missions/Going to Aztlán (Sonicladdin 3 Version)

*(Back at the Fairy Clan Village, unaware of what just happened, Sonic’s group is still seated in calm depression and silence. Then sure enough, the expedition, Thumbelina, Cornelius, Scratch, Grounder, Coconuts, and Chuck’s group came up to them, deciding to try and cheer them up)*

Expedition, Thumbelina, Cornelius, Scratch, Grounder, Coconuts, and Chuck’s group: Hey.

*(Hearing them, Sonic’s group responded)*

Sonic’s group: (In calm sadness) Hey.

*(Then the expedition, Thumbelina, Cornelius, Scratch, Grounder, Coconuts, and Chuck’s group sat with them, and they had their conversation)*

Sally: We’re so sorry about what just happened, Sonic.

Sonic: Actually….

*(They listened)*

Sonic: (Sighs) Tails, Knuckles, and I are the sorry ones.

Tails: Part of us felt really naïve to try and find our parents, believing they wanted to be with us.

Cosmo: Well, didn’t you think you were a little too hard on…?

Tails: (Finishing for her) Hard on them?

Knuckles: Yeah, I guess you can say that; That’s another part of us that we felt.

Tails: So, in other words, part of us are still angry….

Sonic: Yet another part of us are guilty for lashing out at them.

Knuckles: Even if they did lie to us.

*(Calmly surprised and glad that Sonic’s group is feeling remorseful for snapping at their parents, the group gave reassuring smiles)*

Vector: Hey, relax.

*(Then he turned into Mrs. Doubtfire)*

Vector: (Imitating Mrs. Doubtfire) Sometimes family conflicts can be challenging to go through, yet most of the time, those conflicts will be eventually mended in the end.

*(He changes back to normal)*

Vector: (In his normal voice) So, in other words, you should have to courage to go up to them and apologize.

*(Hearing him say that, Sonic’s group became unsure)*

Sonic’s group: We don’t know how.

Knuckles: And we’re definitely sure our parents don’t….

*(Then Oberon speaks up, approaching with Doom and the Toon Patrol)*

Oberon: “Don’t know either?”

*(They turned, seeing the seven now next to them, and they were giving calm looks that read sympathy all over)*

Oberon: You and your group have every right to be remorseful.

Greasy: Especially your earlier harsh words to them.

Doom: (Shrugs) And I guess we could say, we agree with you.

Smart Guy: The judge is right.

*(Calmly surprised Doom and Smart Guy are actually being somewhat nice to Sonic’s group, the group asked away)*

Group: Doom, Smart Guy, why are…?

Psycho: Because they….

*(Doom and Smart Guy gestured Psycho to quiet down, and he did. Then Doom and Smart Guy explained away with Doom in a somewhat nonchalant way)*

Doom: (Nonchalantly) Let’s just say because I wanted to owe you, Sonic’s group and Meowzie, an apology for being so doubtful to you the whole time.

Smart Guy: (Agreeing) Like he said.

*(The expedition calmly realized)*

Amy: So, basically, you…?

Doom: (Nods, nonchalantly) Yes. Smart Guy and I thought long and hard of our fight back in Agrabah two days ago, and that made the both of us decide to apologize to all of you.

Smart Guy: (Briefly gestures to Sonic’s group and Meowzie) Especially the boys and Meowzie here.

*(Calmly amazed that Doom and Smart Guy have finally apologized for all the times they have been mean and doubtful to Sonic’s group and Meowzie, the expedition became calmly flattered)*

Meowth: So, you really *do* care about them.

Sophia: We knew it.

Doom: (Shrugs, nonchalantly) Well, that was one of the things we wanted to say.

Smart Guy: The other thing is this.

Wheezy: (To Oberon) Show them.

*(Oberon then, with a soft smile on cue by what Wheezy just said, holds a rolled up piece of paper to everyone, confusing them)*

Oberon: Take it.

*(Sonic accepted the paper and he opened, and everyone realized in calm surprise the paper is actually….)*

Crysta: The Map of Aztlán?

Zak: Why are you giving it to us?

Batty: We never asked your permission.

Fawn: Especially after what Chuck and Longclaw did.

Oberon: Because….

*(Then we hear his voice from the first half of what he said last night)*

Oberon: (Voice-over) Guys, if you like….

*(Then we flashback to last night)*

Oberon: ….You can sleep in my house tonight.

*(Chuck, Longclaw, Doom, and the Toon Patrol got curious)*

Doom and Toon Patrol: Really?

Chuck and Longclaw: Are you sure?

Oberon: I am positive.

*(Doom, the Toon Patrol, Chuck, and Longclaw, after contemplating this, gave in with a nod along with everyone else)*

Group: Okay.

*(Then the group bidded their good nights to each other)*

Group: Good night.

*(Then with that, Doom, the Toon Patrol, Chuck, and Longclaw went with Oberon to his house. Once in his house, Oberon then turned to Doom, the Toon Patrol, Chuck, and Longclaw with a playful stern look)*

Doom, Chuck, Longclaw, and Toon Patrol: (Confused) What?

Oberon: I was serious that you sleep in here tonight, but another reason why I invited you is because we need to have a talk.

Stupid: (Confused) About what?

*(Then the fairy king discarded his playful stern look and smiled softly)*

Oberon: You all impressed me along with your friends and sons from Agrabah. And that made me think long and hard about the birth of our truce.

Smart Guy: (Confused) Besides us from Agrabah, what about the former st…? *(Almost corrects himself)* *The* street…?

Doom, Chuck, Longclaw, and Toon Patrol: (Finishing for him) *Former* street rats?

*(To the Toon Patrol’s surprise, suddenly, Doom gave a calm smug smile instead of getting annoyed)*

Greasy: (Becoming playful) Oh, Judge, Boss, that means you *have* a caring side for those boys.

Longclaw: (Playfully agreeing) And that made you decide to trust them, right?

*(Doom then gave a calm nonchalant smile)*

Doom: (Shrugs, nonchalantly) I guess you could say that.

Greasy: (To Chuck and Longclaw) In fact, they were working up an apology speech for Sonic’s group.

*(Doom and Smart Guy nods in agreement. Impressed, Chuck and Longclaw nods in approval to Doom and Smart Guy)*

Chuck: That’s kinda nice of you.

Doom: (Nonchalantly happily at first) Just for you and your boys. *(Then sternly angry)* But that doesn’t mean I’m gonna stay all mushy to everyone!

Smart Guy: (Sternly angrily agreeing) That's right!

*(Understanding, Chuck, Longclaw, and the Toon Patrol nods)*

Chuck, Longclaw, and Toon Patrol: Sure.

*(Then they changed the subject with Oberon)*

Chuck: Now, about your discussion with us, you're majesty?

*(Realizing, Oberon then led them to his table and, with a soft smile, presented the map of Aztlán to them, much to their confusion)*

Doom, Chuck, Longclaw, and Toon Patrol: The Map of Aztlán?

Smart Guy: The one I was accused of trying to steal years ago, which I never did?

Oberon: (Nods) Yes. Seeing how we officially trust one another, there is no need to ask for my blessing and permission to borrow it. You can take it with tomorrow.

*(Calmly amazed that Oberon has given them immediate permission to borrow the map, Chuck accepted the map from him)*

Smart Guy: But what if Merlock’s gang come after it?

*(Thinking it over, Chuck then noticed a blank piece of paper nearby, the same one Sonic’s group found earlier the next day, and Chuck began to think up an idea, much to Longclaw’s notice)*

Longclaw: You’re not thinking of lying to everyone, are you?

Chuck: I hate lying, but there's no other choice.

Longclaw: But I think we should just tell them before we head out tomorrow.

Chuck: I'm sorry.

*(Chuck then noticed a quill-shaped pen on Oberon’s table, and upon noticing them seeing it, Oberon smiled softly in realization)*

Oberon: I take it you have a plan to trick the enemy?

*(Chuck nods)*

Chuck: Yes.

*(Then they approached the table with the blank paper. Back in the present, the group was surprised and shocked at the truth in realization, mostly Sonic’s group)*

Sonic: So, they actually replaced the real map to trick Merlock’s group all along?!

Doom, Oberon, and Toon Patrol: (Nods) Yes. (Yep.)

Oberon: Chuck wanted to surprise you with the real map as soon as you left the village. But seeing how you had your current fight earlier….

*(Realizing calmly, Sonic’s group immediately felt calmly guilty while Oberon gave Sonic his copy of the picture of Sonic and Chuck’s groups, which he accepted)*

Sonic: We accused them of being thieves and bandits.

Tails: Let alone neglectful liars.

Knuckles: Who cared more about the treasure than us….

*(Then they smiled and, after Sonic puts the picture away in his pants pocket, turned to Bushroot, Liquidator, Spike, Tink, and Zarina)*

Sonic: Guys?

Tails and Knuckles: Could you…?

Bushroot, Liquidator, Tink, and Zarina: (Nods with a happy Spike in agreement) Of course.

Tink: We’ll go look for Chuck and Longclaw.

Liquidator: Especially Fizzlepop, Vidia, Manic, Sonia, Megavolt, and Quackerjack.

Bushroot: Wherever they are.

*(Then Bushroot, Liquidator, Spike, Tink, and Zarina ran off into the forest to go look for Chuck, Longclaw, Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist, Vidia, Manic, Sonia, Megavolt, and Quackerjack. Back at the tree where Chuck and Longclaw got captured, Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist, Vidia, Manic, Sonia, Megavolt, and Quackerjack are still tied to the tree and by now, they are exhausted trying to free themselves and their heads are hanging low in exhaustion. Even their wrists are Indian rub marked from the ropes that are tied tightly around their wrists from all the times they tried to free themselves, although Manic, Sonia, Megavolt, and Quackerjack’s can’t be seen due to their long sleeves of their shirts, jumpsuit, and/or gloves they're wearing. And laying nearby them on the ground, is the other copy of Sonic and Chuck’s groups’ picture)*

Sonia: (Softly) Sonic, guys, wherever you are, I hope you could find us….

*(Suddenly, they heard some bushes rustling nearby. They turned and saw something approaching in suspicion, or concern in Megavolt and Quackerjack’s case. Then, to their relief, it was Bushroot, Liquidator, Spike, Tink, Zarina, and even Bruni, Gale, and Iridsella emerging from the bushes. Noticing the six tied up to the tree, they got shocked and confused)*

Iridsella: What happened?

Quackerjack: We’ll explain later!

Vidia: Right now, untie us!

*(Then Bruni, Gale, Iridsella, Bushroot, Liquidator, Spike, Tink, and Zarina rushed up to the six and after Gale used his wind-like strength to pull the rope lines straight while Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist, Vidia, Manic, Sonia, Megavolt, and Quackerjack helped stretch them out by pulling by their tied hands straight, Iridsella, with some help from Tink's magic, then strengthened Bushroot's floral powers, Bruni’s fire magic, and Zarina's sword and then Bushroot, Bruni, and Zarina respectively yanked the tree carefully and burned and cut the rope lines with their respective plant powers, flames, and sword, cutting Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist, Vidia, Manic, Sonia, Megavolt, and Quackerjack partially free from the tree, making the tied six collapse on the ground, face first into a water-made trampoline made from Liquidator's body, but the six, still tied up, immediately recovered thanks to Liquidator, who returned to normal, and got up to their feet. Then immediately after Bushroot restored the tree to its normal position and Liquidator stepped back, Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist, Vidia, Manic, Sonia, Megavolt, and Quackerjack let Zarina and Spike respectively cut and powerfully bite the ropes tying their hands and with one powerful cut and tug and bite of their own, the ropes were cut, finally untying Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist, Vidia, Manic, Sonia, Megavolt, and Quackerjack’s hands, finally freeing them. Once all freed, Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist, Vidia, Manic, Sonia, Megavolt, and Quackerjack turned to Bruni, Gale, Iridsella, Bushroot, Liquidator, Spike, Tink, and Zarina in determination while they rubbed their freed Indian rub marked wrists and Vidia picking up the other copy of the picture)*

Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist, Vidia, Manic, Sonia, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: Take us back to the village immediately!

*(Without questioning them, despite being confused, Bruni, Gale, Iridsella, Bushroot, Liquidator, Spike, Tink, and Zarina then took Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist, Vidia, Manic, Sonia, Megavolt, and Quackerjack back to the Fairy Clan Village’s direction quickly. Back at the village, the group waited for Bushroot, Liquidator, Spike, Tink, and Zarina’s return patiently)*

Milo: (To Chuck's group) What’s taking your friends so long to find them?

Crysta: Patience.

Blue Fairy: I’m certain they’ll find them.

*(But Sonic’s group, Chip, and Steelbeak got up impatiently)*

Knuckles: Well, I’m tired of waiting right now.

Sonic and Tails: So are we.

Steelbeak: We’re joining the search.

*(Suddenly, on cue, Bruni, Gale, Iridsella, Bushroot, Liquidator, Spike, Tink, and Zarina returned with Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist, Vidia, Manic, Sofia, Megavolt, and Quackerjack and then the six latters rushed up to the group in determination, much to the group’s confusion)*

Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist, Vidia, Manic, Sonia, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: Guys!

Manic and Sonia: Don’t bother the search!

*(Once up to the group, Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist, Vidia, Manic, Sonia, Megavolt, and Quackerjack panted a bit in determination)*

Launchpad: What’s the matter?

Minerva: Where were you the whole time?

Darkwing: And where are Chuck and Longclaw?

Chip: (Goes up to the six) Before you tell us, calm down by taking a deep breath.

*(Doing what he ordered, Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist, Vidia, Manic, Sonia, Megavolt, and Quackerjack inhaled calmly and then exhaled calmly)*

Chip: Better?

Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist, Vidia, Manic, Sonia, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: (Calmly) Yes. (Yeah.)

*(Then Megavolt and Quackerjack immediately screamed it out in a panicked, yet determined, way)*

Megavolt and Quackerjack: THEY’VE, BEEN, TAKEN!!!!

*(Hearing Megavolt and Quackerjack’s shouting, the Fairy Clan and even, Latios, Granite, and the goddesses arrived in confusion)*

Group except Vector's group: (Confused and surprised) “Taken?”

Vector's group: (Confused) What?

Cheese: (Confused) Chao?

*(Later, all was explained while everyone else was shocked after Meowzie just already healing Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist, Vidia, Manic, Sonia, Megavolt, and Quackerjack’s Indian rub marked wrists from where they were formally tied up before, hence why they just finished rubbing their healed wrists and Manic, Sonia, Megavolt, and Quackerjack putting their long sleeves of their shirts and jumpsuit and gloves back on their arms and/or hands again)*

Meowzie: The ransom of the Golden Hand of Midas?!

Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist: That’s right!

Sonia: And like we said, Eggman’s group, Merlock’s gang, and their henchmen, especially Fat Tony’s gang, are gonna kill Mom and Dad at sundown if we don’t give it to them!

Thumbelina: But we can’t just give the Golden Hand of Midas to them!

Cornelius: That is, unfortunately, the key to free EnEmE!

*(Sally’s group and even Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts were even shocked and appalled)*

Sally: And to think Fat Tony’s gang even felt sympathy for us last night.

Grounder: Especially the way they comforted you.

Rosetta: So, what do we do now?

*(Thinking it over, Oberon and the Blue Fairy then realized something and turned to the expedition, Chuck’s group, Thumbelina, Cornelius, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts)*

Oberon and Blue Fairy: Come with us.

*(Despite being confused, the expedition, Chuck’s group, Thumbelina, Cornelius, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts followed without questioning Oberon and the Blue Fairy, followed them into the forest. Then sure enough, they arrived at a cavern entrance with some hints of golden walls inside of it. Upon entering with the expedition, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts, Chuck’s group, Thumbelina, and Cornelius immediately realized calmly)*

Cornelius: The Golden Cavern….

Thumbelina: So that means….

*(Oberon nods)*

Oberon: There is a way to make the ransom easy without dangerous consequences from happening to us.

*(The expedition, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts got confused)*

Expedition’s group, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts: What’re you…?

*(Then they slowly realized)*

Expedition’s group, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts: Are you telling us…?

*(Chuck’s group, Thumbelina, Cornelius, and Oberon nods)*

Chuck’s group, Thumbelina, Cornelius, and Oberon: A Golden Hand of Midas replica.

Silvermist: In other words, a fake.

Thumbelina: And this cavern where the fake rests happens to be our mining facility where we get all the gold.

Cornelius: Whether it’s to make things such as building parts and jewelry.

*(Getting it, the expedition, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts smiled in agreement)*

Launchpad: Clever you.

Steelbeak: That’s a great idea!

Sonic: (To Chuck’s group) Show us the way.

Vector: (Agreeing, imitating Steve Irwin) Let’s go find us a fake treasure and rescue some animals and people!

*(Then while Oberon and the Blue Fairy stood back, the expedition, Chuck’s group, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts, after Vector changed back to normal, proceeded to search the Golden Cavern, revealing all its piles of treasure all over the area)*

Chip: But what if you run out of gold here?

Oberon: The gold and treasure here in Shirabad is infinite.

*(Realizing, the group got it)*

Foghorn: So, in others words….

Daffy: Your gold and treasures will magically never run out.

Pepe: Does that mean they grow back here like weeds if you take a sample?

Oberon: Yes.

Blue Fairy: Exactly.

*(Chip then pulls a gold chunk off the wall nearby, creating a hole revealing a normal cavern wall underneath and then some treasure from the pile. After packing them in his bag, he and the group then saw, to their amazement, the gold wall’s hole where Chip broke the gold chunk off magically repaired itself, and even the treasure pile magically regenerated the same gems into its pile, replacing the ones Chip took)*

Chip: (Impressed) Well, well….

Sonic: (Impressed) Better than being tempted by the Cave of Wonders’ treasure.

*(Chip then hyperactively dove into the treasure pile to collect treasure when the expedition stopped him)*

Expedition’s group: Chip!

*(Chip stopped)*

Lola: Leave them.

Smart Guy: We have a more important mission to attend.

*(Marahute even squawked in agreement to Chip. Realizing, Chip stopped doing what he’s doing)*

Chip: Okay.

*(He then resumed his mission with the group. As they searched around the cavern, they had no luck so far)*

Scratch: Now, if I were a replica of a legendary sacred treasure, where would I hide?

Grounder: Let alone what it looks like?

Coconuts: Good question.

Cornelius: It’s a small golden object, literally shaped like a human’s right hand, engraved and sitting on top of a gold brown handle.

*(After searching some more, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts then spotted a small golden human right hand statue engraved and sitting on a gold brown handle, just like Cornelius described. Grounder immediately picked it up by its handle and, with Scratch and Coconuts, called out to the others)*

Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts: We found it!

*(Hearing them, the group approached them, impressed and amazed that they found it)*

Knuckles: Good eyes, guys.

Quackerjack: Doesn’t get any better than this!

Meowth, Meowzie, Milo, and Sophia: I’ll say!

Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts: (Flattered) Aw, thanks.

*(Then Grounder hands the fake Golden Hand of Midas to Sonic, who then shivered a bit upon accepting it on its handle, for the fake Golden Hand of Midas is ice cold)*

Sonic: (To himself, shivers a bit) Man, it’s cold as ice. *(To Oberon)* Why is it ice cold, and what’s the difference between the fake and the real?

Oberon: They have the same appearance and ice cold touch, only for the fake to not have the magic the real one has. And as for it being ice cold, it’s just like ice.

Blue Fairy: On the real Golden Hand of Midas, if a person were to touch the hand itself, then that spot where they touched it will slowly turn the body into an icy cold golden statue made of ice cold glass.

Thumbelina: And because it’s made of fragile gold glass, that gold glass petrified body would possibly crack and/or shatter into pieces if it roughly hits something hard, like how fragile normal glass is.

Cornelius: And it that victim breaks into pieces from that, then that victim is dead.

Tink: Which is somewhat compared to ice and snow, the way they freeze anything and anyone in their path if they come into contact with the hand itself on the real Golden Hand of Midas.

Iridessa: Just like how the Legend of King Midas and his Golden Touch could turn anything *and* anyone into gold by his single touch.

Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist: If you actually read the legend itself.

Terrence: Which we did.

*(The group then looked at the fake Golden Hand of Midas in Sonic’s hands)*

Speedy: So, the fake don’t turn your body into gold like the real one does?

Chuck’s group, Thumbelina, Cornelius, Oberon, and Blue Fairy: (Nods) Precisely.

*(Bugs looked at the fake Golden Hand of Midas’ hand statue in curiosity)*

Bugs: Hmm…. I wonder if that’s true….

*(Then he slowly and cautiously stuck his hand out towards the hand itself. Then upon touching it, nothing happened)*

Daffy: Well?

Bugs: Well, what do you know, nothing hap….

*(Then he screamed a bit, making everyone jump in surprise. Then he giggled a bit as he removed his hand from the fake Golden Hand of Midas’ hand itself)*

Bugs: Kidding. Nothing really happened. Ain’t I a stinker?

*(Daffy then socked Bugs’ shoulder)*

Daffy: You’re despicable!

Lola: Please don’t do that again!

Bugs: (Rubbing his punched shoulder sheepishly) Sorry, guys, just a little joke.

*(Then they got determined)*

Sonic: Alright, let’s go find Eggman’s group and Merlock’s gang and save me and my brothers’ parents.

*(Then the group, Oberon, and Blue Fairy left the Golden Cavern with the fake Golden Hand of Midas in tow. Upon exiting, they began to head off deep into the forest when….)*

Eggman: (Voice-over) You found it fast.

*(The group, Oberon, and Blue Fairy turned and saw Eggman group, Merlock and Fat Tony’s gangs, and the Badnik Thieves now standing nearby, holding Chuck and Longclaw, now out of the cell carrier, their hands still tied behind their backs, and now gagged, hostage)*

Merlock: (Narrowing his gaze at Chuck and Longclaw) And just when we thought about killing these two just as sundown began.

Hunch: In complete annihilation.

Pitch: Such a shame.

Sonic: Well, you three thought wrong with your cronies.

Tails: We got the Golden Hand of Midas as you requested.

Knuckles: Now give our parents back right now.

Tails: Please?

Eggman: First, you give us the Golden Hand of Midas, and *then* we’ll give your precious parents back to you.

Infinite: Don’t you want to make it easier for us?

Fat Tony: Going once, going twice?

*(Chuck and Longclaw immediately shook their heads “No” with calm concerned looks. After pretending to contemplate a bit, Sonic’s group, along with the group, Oberon, and Blue Fairy, immediately gave in)*

Group, Oberon, and Blue Fairy: Fine. (Very well.)

Sonic: You win, Robuttnik.

*(Then he walks over to the villains and lets Eggman snatch the fake Golden Hand of Midas on its handle from him)*

Eggman: (Looking at the fake Golden Hand of Midas) Finally, the Golden Hand of Midas!

Infinite: (To Eggman in agreement) Our key treasure to free EnEmE!

Merlock’s group: (To Eggman’s group in agreement) Yep!

*(Then they turned to their henchmen and Fat Tony’s gang)*

Eggman’s group: A deal’s a deal, so release them.

Merlock’s group: You heard them.

*(Then with that said and done, the Badnik Thieves, Merlock and Fat Tony’s gangs untied Chuck and Longclaw’s hands, and Chuck and Longclaw ungagged themselves and, once freed, rushed back to the group, Oberon, and Blue Fairy. Then the villains proceeded to leave)*

Villains: Bye!

*(Then as the villains disappeared into the forest, Chuck and Longclaw were about to go after them when the group, including Chuck’s group, Oberon, and the Blue Fairy, stopped them)*

Chuck: (About to run after the villains) Now’s our chance!

Longclaw: (About to run after the villains) Let’s stop them!

*(But the group, Oberon, and Blue Fairy dragged Chuck and Longclaw back to the Fairy Clan Village, where the Fairy Clan, Bruni, Gale, Iridsella, Granite, Latios, and the goddesses awaited. Once there, Chuck and Longclaw turned to them in anger and disappointment)*

Longclaw: Why would you let them take the Golden Hand of Midas for?!

Chuck: You could’ve fought them for us!

*(Then they see the non-serious members of the group snicker a bit while the serious members gave calm playful smiles. Slowly realizing, Chuck and Longclaw asked away)*

Chuck: You mean the Golden…?

Group, Oberon, and Blue Fairy: The fake.

*(Getting it, Chuck and Longclaw then gave impressed smiles to Sonic’s group)*

Chuck: Wow…. You easily tricked the enemy. And we take it all back immediately.

Longclaw: You did good to save us. We’re so proud of you.

Sonic’s group: (Flattered) Thanks.

Tails: And listen, about the map….

Chuck: (Quickly answering) We’re sorry we didn’t tell you the truth.

Longclaw: And by now, you must’ve realized why.

Sonic’s group: (Nods) Yep.

Sonic: And we're sorry for the accusations.

Tails and Knuckles: (Nods) Yeah.

*(Then, after returning Chuck and Longclaw’s copy of their picture, which Vidia gave to Sonic earlier, allowing Chuck to put it back in his pants pocket, Sonic’s group, Chuck, and Longclaw then group hugged in reconciliation with soft smiles. With that said and done, they then got serious with everyone else)*

Sonic: Now, onto serious business….

Chuck: If we’re to find the real Golden Hand of Midas….

Oberon: Then that means you are definitely going to Aztlán.

Meowzie: While Mom and I will go there with you and the others to find our siren-like voice calling for the both of us.

Thumbelina: Exactly.

Oberon: However, there is something I forgot to mention….

*(They listened)*

Oberon: The path leading to Aztlán, according to the map, is an extremely dangerous journey. And those who are brave enough to try and get to Aztlán, to prove they are worthy of getting the real Golden Hand of Midas and finding the island’s hidden answers, some made it back here and/or somewhere else to live and tell the tale of their failure, while others perished on the journey.

*(The Fearsome Four, Chip, and Team Rocket immediately hesitated)*

Chip: (Nervously) Oh, boy….

Meowth: (Nervously) We weren’t told this would be dangerous.

Jessie, James, and Fearsome Four: (Nervously) Yeah.

Launchpad: Don’t be nervous.

*(They looked at Launchpad)*

Launchpad: I may be nervous as well, but me and the rest of us are going for it.

Expedition: Yeah. (Yes.)

Sally: And we definitely sometimes laugh at the face of danger.

*(She laughs haughtily a bit. Giving in slowly, Chip, Team Rocket, and the Fearsome Four got determined)*

Fearsome Four: Okay.

Chip: If you’re going for it, count us in.

Team Rocket: (Agreeing in determination, flexing their muscles) Definitely!

Sonic and Sally’s group: For Agrabah, Shirabad, and the world.

Amy: And I especially can’t wait for Sonic and Sally and Tails and Cosmo, along with me and Knuckles, getting married back home after this.

Knuckles: You said it.

*(Then Bugs, Lola, Pepe, and Penelope piped in)*

Bugs: And speaking of marriage celebrations….

Lola: Did we ever tell you that Bugs and I are married for two years?

Pepe: Along with me and Penelope?

Everyone: (Nods) Yeah. (Yes.)

Darkwing: (Guessing) And our guess; You four wish to celebrate both your second wedding anniversaries on Sonic and Sally’s groups’ wedding day?

Bugs, Lola, Penelope, and Pepe: Yep. (*Oui*.)

Pepe: We could share the celebrations together.

Bugs: (Looks at the expedition) If it’s alright with you.

*(After thinking it over, the expedition agreed)*

Expedition’s group: That’s fine.

Morgana: Good idea.

Vanilla: You got my vote.

Cream, Toby, and Minerva: And ours.

Cheese: (Happily agreeing) Chao, chao.

*(Then with that settled, Oberon and Puck turned to Terrence and Zak)*

Oberon: Before the expedition goes to Aztlán, go spy on the enemy.

Puck: And report to us back here immediately.

Group: You heard them.

Terrence and Zak: Yes, Puck, you’re majesty.

*(Then with that, Terrence and Zak left to go find the villains to go spy on them)*

***Coming up: After Terrence and Zak report to the heroes about Fat Tony’s gang being sent by the villains to go on patrol to make sure none of the heroes follow the villains, the heroes, under Chuck’s group, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts’ request and idea, decide to capture Fat Tony’s gang and, after interrogating them on why else the villains need the Golden Hand of Midas other than freeing EnEmE, convince Fat Tony’s gang into helping the group go to Aztlán to find the real Golden Hand of Midas, Meowzie’s mystery siren-like voice, and the answers on the real cause of the war between Agrabah and Shirabad as their mafia bodyguards via a deal by the mafia’s code of honor. Then after that’s successful, the group, including Fat Tony’s gang, already starting their journey, accidentally drop the Map of Aztlán into an underground Illumination Cavern and after braving many dangerous obstacles down there, including a Biolumonster, they manage to get the map back and escape back to the surface safely. Then, impressed by Fat Tony’s gang’s soft side emerging even more when they become impressed with the group comforting Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts over the three becoming upset over their treasured belongings, the group and even the cheered up Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts convince Fat Tony’s gang to admit that they do care for the group and have soft sides for them.***
