The Trap is Set/You’re Only Second Rate (Sonicladdin 2 (Version 1) Version)

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

Meowth: So Sonic, guys.... I was thinking, uh....

*(They then heard Vector's voice from another room and went in there to see if Sonic's group are with him. Of course, as he entered, the only ones with Vector, who is wearing sports attire, are Vanilla, Cream, Toby, Cheese, Chip, Marahute, and even Darkwing, Launchpad, Steelbeak, Morgana, and Minerva, in her first attire again. They are playing a game of pool. Chip looked impatiently as Vector is focusing on the ball)*

Vector: Gotta focus...

Chip: Just hit it already! You're holding the game up!

Vanilla: Patience, Chip. This takes time and concentrating.

*(Vector finally hits the ball)*

Vector: He shoots! He scores!

*(Of course, Vector only ended up sending the ball clean off the table and right past the group. They looked just as Megavolt yelped as the ball hit him in the mouth getting stuck and sending him flying backwards. Vector caught him in the nick of time)*

Vector: Gotcha! Sorry about that, Megavolt! Allow me to get that out.

*(Vector tries to get the ball out of Megavolt's mouth with Quackerjack's help but it just kept on being stuck)*

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

Vector: Time for some extraction.

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

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

Group: Got it!

Steelbeak: Let me try!

*(Steelbeak goes over and punches Megavolt in the chest, resulting in the ball getting spit out)*

Cream: Great extraction!

Cheese: (Happily) Chao, chao!

Toby: Yeah, great work!

*(The ball bounced off the wall and is going at Megavolt again. Luckily Vector jumped up and caught it in the nick of time)*

Megavolt: (To Steelbeak) Thanks, Steelbeak.

Steelbeak: Anything for a friend.

*(Cream, Cheese, and Toby then hugged Meowth's group)*

Cream: Even Toby, Cheese, and I came to like you.

Cheese: (Happily) Chao, chao!

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

*(Meowth's group got free from Cream, Cheese, and Toby's hugs as they walked off)*

Jessie: We gotta go find Sonic's group now.

Minerva: But where's Meowzie?

Morgana: We haven't seen her since last night.

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

Meowth: Oh, she's at the river.

Bushroot: Planning to spend quality time with us, Sonic's group, and even Cloud and Aerith.

Meowth's group: Yeah.

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

Vanilla: Okay.

*(Vector transforms back into his sports attire while the group returned to their main attires as he smiled)*

Vector: Okay, who wants to go next?

Vanilla: I can!

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

Cream: Good shot, Mama!

Vanilla: (Proudly) Thanks.

Vector: (Sighs with a shrug) Pool is not my game anyway.

*(Vector transforms out of his sports attire. Later, Meowth's group finds Sonic's group in a room talking to Sally's group, both groups now back in their main attires)*

Sonic: What do you think of Meowth possibly getting married to Meowzie?

*(Sally paused with her sisters and then smiled)*

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

Sonic and Sally's groups: Right.

*(Meowth's group cleared their throats, getting Sonic and Sally's groups' attention)*

Knuckles: Oh, guys.

*(Meowth's group comes in, acting casual)*

Meowth: Hey, guys. You know, we were hoping to find you.

Bushroot: Uh, you see. We were thinking.... Now that we're part of the palace, I think we should spend time together with Meowzie at a rendezvous point she's meeting us at.

Quackerjack: Even take Cloud and Aerith with, and the two already agreed to the idea because we asked them already. Oh, and Marahute can give us a ride there.

Cosmo: That sounds like a wonderful idea.

Amy: Maybe that's why Meowzie wasn't seen since last night.

Sally: Because she wants to surprise you guys with a quality time.

Liquidator: Right. My thoughts exactly.

Sonic: Okay, it's decided.

Tails: Let's go for it.

Sally: Come on. Let's get our parents.

*(As they begin to leave, Sheeta's group stopped and walks over to Fidget)*

Cosmo: Meowth's group, my sisters and I got to say, we were wrong about you.

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

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

*(Meowth's group groaned quietly as Sally's group hugged them. Sally's group then rejoined Sonic's group as they begin to leave. Meowth's group groaned as they began to yell out)*

Meowth's group: Wait!

Sonic: (Turning) Yeah, guys?

*(Meowth's group was about to speak when they see a giant pair of red eyes hovering above Sonic and Sally's groups. They knew whom they belong to and groaned sadly)*

Bushroot: You know what? We'll join you eventually.

*(Sonic and Sally's groups shrugged as they left. Meowth's group then turned around and looked down feeling guilty. Vanitas, Negaduck, and Don Karnage appeared behind them and smirked evilly at them)*

Vanitas: You did good.

Don Karnage: Very good indeed.

*(Meowth's group didn't answer as they just hung their heads in shame. Out in the courtyard later, Sonic and Meowth's groups and Marahute waited as Cloud and Aerith approached them while everyone is standing close by)*

Vector: You have a great time!

Aerith: Oh, we will.

*(Then with that, Marahute flew herself, Sonic and Meowth's groups, Cloud, and Aerith 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 Vector, Vanilla, Cream, Toby, Cheese, and Chip running down the path with picnic gear carrying picnic supplies)*

Vector: Picnic time!

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

Chip: Oh. Sorry.

Vector: You want some?

Sally: No thanks.

Cosmo: You just go ahead.

Amy: We're not hungry.

*(Then the heroes left. Vector, Chip, Vanilla, Cream, Cheese, Toby, and Chip paused, then goes back to their eating. With Sonic's group, they flew around across a lagoon and a waterfall)*

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

Meowth: Meowzie will meet us later.

*(They land there. Back at the palace, Vector, Vanilla, Cream, Toby, Cheese, and Chip have eaten half of their food)*

Vector: This is swell, isn't it?

Vanilla: How about a drumstick, Chip?

*(Vanilla throws it to Chip who takes it. Toby took one for himself)*

Toby: Delicious, huh?

*(As Chip is about to eat, he looked alarmed as he sees a spider on his drumstick forcing him to throw it. Vanilla noticed and was about to speak when she and Chip looked and got more alarmed as more spiders are heading towards them)*

Chip: Vector, guys....

Vanilla: Pests alert!

*(Vector's group looked and sees the spiders. Cream and Cheese freaked out of course)*

Cream: SPIDERS!!

Cheese: (Freaking out) Chao, chao!

*(Vector transforms into an exterminator)*

Vector: This is not going to be pretty!

*(Vector begins to spray the spiders like mad. But to his surprise, the spray didn't affect the spiders at all. In fact, as he, his group, and Chip watched, the spiders piled all over themselves until they form a giant outline of two figures. When they faded, Vector, Vanilla, and Chip gasped as they see who the figures are)*

Vector, Vanilla, and Chip: Don Karnage and Vanitas!

Cream and Toby: (Shocked) *That's* Don Karnage and Vanitas?!

Vanitas: That's right.

Don Karnage: Don't rub it off.

Vanitas: And we must take you out of the action. We don't need meddlers getting in the way of our plan.

*(Vector crossed his arms and smiled)*

Vector: Yeah, right. You're genies and you can't kill anybody.

*(Vanitas and Don Karnage chuckled evilly as they held their hands out while they turned into dragons. Then the dragons blasted Vector with fire, turning him into a hot crispy dragon)*

Vanilla: (Concerned) Vector!

Vector: (Coughing) Of course, you'd be surprised what you could live through it.

*(Then he shook the soot off, changing his body back to normal)*

Vanitas: (Laughing wickedly) Once again, croc, you can always give out a laugh.

Vector: Laugh at this!

*(Vector then shoots out magic at Vanitas and Don Karnage. For a while, it seems to work as the smoke is form by the blasts. When the smoke cleared, Vanitas and Don Karnage are gone with a big hole where they used to be at. Vector breathes in and out. He then transforms into a superhero and laughs)*

Vector: (Transforming back) Now whose laughing, genie boys?

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

Vanitas and Don Karnage: We believe it's us.

*(As Vector's group and Chip walked backwards nervously, Vanitas and Don Karnage proceeded to sing)*

Vanitas: **We must admit**

**Your parlor tricks are amusing**

*(Vector was suddenly turned into a magician that has a top hat stuck to his head)*

Don Karnage: **We bet you've got a bunny**

**Under your hat**

*(Vanitas and Don Karnage appeared above Vector and removes the hat causing a big rabbit to fall out and knock the crocodile Mobian to the ground)*

Don Karnage: **Now here's your chance**

**To get the best of me**

**Hope your hand is hot**

*(Cards flew out of the hat as the villains grab them. We see Vector's group and Chip on them with their pictures on the joker cards)*

Don Karnage: **C'mon, clown**

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

*(Vector's group and Chip fell off the cards and right onto the ground. An angry Vector recovers and blasts Vanitas and Don Karnage with magic but it is not working)*

Vanitas: **You try to slam us**

**With your hardest stuff**

**But your double whammy**

**Isn't up to snuff**

Don Karnage: **We'll set the record straight**

**You're simply out of date**

Vanitas and Don Karnage: **You're only second rate**

*(With evil smirks, Vanitas and Don Karnage pulled Vector by the scarf and flew him to the lower platform. Vector gasps as Vanitas turned him into an old crocodile Mobian)*

Vanitas: **You think your cat's a meanie**

**But your tiger's tame**

*(Vector was then turned into a tiger and he attacked Vanitas and Don Karnage. But the villains simply made a ring appear, turning Vector into a kitten when he comes out the other side. Vector the kitten then finds himself on a stool as the two evil villains show him a huge math problem on a chalkboard)*

Don Karnage: **You've got a lot to learn**

**About the genie game**

Vanitas: **So for your education**

**We'll reiterate**

Vanitas and Don Karnage: **You're only second rate**

*(Now Vanitas puts a dunce hat over the hat and lifted it off. Vector, back to normal, his family, and Chip are now sharing the same the stool. The stool ended up flying above them causing the six to fall down. They landed on a hand that has fingers dressed up like Vanitas and Don Karnage finger puppets)*

Vanitas: **Men cower at the power**

**In our pinkies**

*(The pinky fingers lunged at the six causing them to back away. They yelped and sees the thumbs that are colored just like Vanitas and Don Karnage's genie forms)*

Vanitas and Don Karnage: **Our thumbs are number one**

**On every list**

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

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

**That we're invincible**

**Put us to the test**

Don Karnage: **We'd love to lay this rivalry to rest**

*(Vanitas and Don Karnage causes some dirt in the ground to rise up turning them into graveyard. Vector's group and Chip fell in as tombstones rised out from them. Vector jumped out and blasts Vanitas and Don Karnage once more)*

Vanitas: **Go ahead and zap us**

**With the big surprise**

Don Karnage: **Snap us in a trap**

**Cut us down to size**

*(Vector uses his magic to wrap Vanitas and Don Karnage in chains, put them in a basket, and cut that basket through with swords. Despite all that, however, Vanitas and Don Karnage reappeared out of the basket okay, freed from the chains)*

Don Karnage: **We'll make a big escape**

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

Vanitas and Don Karnage: **You're only second rate**

*(A giant cake appeared with a lot of layers. Vanitas and Don Karnage came out of the top candle as the flame on the other ones shot up like sparks. Vector's group and Chip tried to escape but was stopped by not just the Stonehedge versions of Vanitas and Don Karnage, but also Merlock's gang)*

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

**Isn't tough enough**

*(Vector's group and Chip fall 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)*

Dijon: **And your mumbo-jumbo**

**Doesn't measure up**

*(Vector's group and Chip jump backwards from stair to stair. But soon they disappear when they got to the throne itself. Vanitas 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**

*(Vector's group and Chip 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 an old woman sitting in a rocking chair, her back to them. Vector taps her on the shoulder but yells as she turned around revealing to be Splatter Phoenix magically in disguise)*

Splatter Phoenix: **Granny's gonna grab ya**

*(Vector's group and Chip ran off as the villains followed them. Vanitas and Don Karnage are growing by the second as their voices echoed all around)*

Villains: **Alakazam-da-mus**

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

*(The six kept on running, alarmed as they enter a hall that has a lot of the villains)*

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

Don Karnage: **You look horrendous in your underwear**

*(Vanitas pulled down Vector's shorts that appeared, revealing his red hearts underwear underneath embarrassing him)*

Don Karnage: **And we can hardly wait**

**To discombobulate**

*(Vector finds himself taken apart. The parts of Vector rearranged themselves as he fell into a crate)*

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

**In a shipping crate**

*(After the crate exploded, Vector's group and Chip find themselves on a spinning plate on a stick spun by Vanitas himself)*

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

**With a spinning plate**

Villains: **You're only second rate**

*(With 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 Vector spinning around crammed into a magically enhanced glass orb keeping him from escaping and using his magic, inside Vanitas, Don Karnage, and Negaduck's old chamber. Vanitas and Don Karnage locked it tightly and puts it on a table. Nearby, Vanilla, Cream, Cheese, Toby, and Chip are shackled by their wrists and ankles to a wall. And sitting on the table near Vector's prison is Meowzie, still locked in the cage, but now untied and ungagged from the smoke chains)*

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

Meowzie: (Angrily) That's right!

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

Cheese: (Angrily agreeing) Chao, chao!

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

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

Vanitas: Whatever.

Negaduck: So enjoy your eternal stay in here.

Splatter Phoenix: You're really good at being as disrespectful as I am.

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

Vanilla, Cream, and Toby: (Shocked) Wife?!

Cheese: (Shocked and confused) Chao?!

Chip: (Shocked) What?!

Vector: (Shocked) You're related?!

Negaduck and Splatter Phoenix: That's right.

Merlock: Surprised, aren't you?

Vector: (Flatly) Barely.

*(Vanitas, Don Karnage, and Negaduck then goes up to Merlock's gang who are waiting at the door)*

Don Karnage: Come, boys, Splatter Phoenix.

Negaduck: We got more lives to destroy.

Vanitas: Part two of our plan is complete.

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

***Coming up: The villains succeed in capturing Cloud and Aerith, as well as Marahute, and then trick Doom and the weasel guards into believing that Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles have "Murdered" them after also capturing Sally and Darkwing's groups, causing Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles to be captured by Doom and his guards and thrown in the dungeon, awaiting a sunrise execution.***
