Peach, Mario, Luigi, Daisy, Rockruff, and Zelda Captured/Zelda Deceived by Veran

*(Back at the castle, Hunter J, Myotismon, Vanitas, Veran, and Demidevimon saw the Jitterbug plan come out a success. Then the four formers started to sing)*

Hunter J: **They’re so misguided**

Myotismon: **It’s all so one-sided**

Vanitas: **Those dimwitted thieves**

**Dares to tangle with us**

Veran: **Those girls are prissy**

**The boys clueless**

Hunter J: **And we want them itemless**

Vanitas: **We’ll show them**

**How fiendishly mean**

**We can be**

Veran: **We want those items and the girl**

**To establish just whose number one**

**From the east to the west**

Myotismon: **Then we’ll be complete**

**With the world at our feet**

Hunter J: **And red, white, orange yellow, and blue**

**Always suited us best**

Hunter J, Myotismon, Vanitas, and Veran: **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, Hunter J, Myotismon, Vanitas, and Veran then turned to Aipom, the Winged Goblins, and Flying Monkey Pokemon)*

Hunter J: Enjoy your dances, my pretties.

Myotismon: And now you, our Winged Goblins, Flying Monkey Pokemon, our darlings, and Demidevimon, it’s time at long last to go do your work.

Vanitas: Now off you go and mop up the mess.

Veran: We want those four thieves and their mangy little dog Pokemon, especially Zelda. and most of all, we want our items! Now fly, fly, my pretties!

*(Demidevimon, the Winged Goblins, Flying Monkey Pokemon, and Aipom then flew out the window to the Haunted Forest)*

Veran: As for me, I’ll go to the tower so Zelda won’t be suspicious.

Myotismon: Very well.

*(Veran leaves via levitation to go to the tower after all the Winged Goblins, Flying Monkey Pokemon, Demidevimon, and Aipom are gone. Seeing the Inca Guards chanting and singing, Hunter J, Myotismon, and Vanitas chuckled evilly a bit and then started singing again as they watched the image on Hunter J's huge crystal ball of Peach’s group resting themselves from their dancing)*

Hunter J: **I know we hold sway**

**Over all we survey**

Myotismon: **But we now need**

**A much bigger deal**

Vanitas: **The items and girl are the keys**

**To the making of us**

Hunter J, Myotismon, and Vanitas: **So find them and bring them**

**To heel**

**So, with the four here**

**I hope we may clear**

**What they have to surrender**

Vanitas: **And why?**

Hunter J: **It’s the end of the line**

Myotismon: **The items and girl are ours**

Hunter J, Myotismon, and Vanitas: **You’re welcome our pretties**

*(They spoke then)*

Hunter J, Myotismon, and Vanitas: Yes, you’re welcome, our pretties.

*(They conclude their song)*

Hunter J, Myotismon, and Vanitas: **To die**

**Die**

*(They cackled evilly a bit. At the Haunted Forest, Peach's group are resting themselves for a while)*

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

Yoshi: Tell me about it.

*(Luigi then got up in a hurry)*

Mario: Where are you going, Luigi?

Luigi: Bathroom.

Mario: Okay.

Daisy: But don’t wander off.

Rockruff: Or else something bad might happen.

Peach: That's right.

Luigi: Okay.

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

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

Zelda: Only one mile left from this spot.

Link: How do you know?

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

Midna: A million times for the past fourteen years stuck in the tower, give or take.

Yoshi: That's a lot.

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

Liquidator: Looks like we’ll make it there!

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

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

*(He began to ponder)*

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

*(Suddenly, something zipped by in the air, getting his attention. He turned back to look and then suddenly, he jumped when a Winged Goblin and Flying Ambipom swooped down and landed in front of him on the ground)*

Luigi: Whoa!

*(He got suspicious)*

Luigi: What do you want?

*(Suddenly, he noticed more Winged Goblins, Flying Monkey Pokemon, and even Aipom and Demidevimon behind the two. He gasped and ran back to the others screaming. Hearing him scream, Peach's group turned and saw the Winged Goblins, Flying Monkey Pokemon, Aipom, and Demidevimon emerging and flying at them and the running Luigi)*

Link: A Flying Monkey Pokemon and Winged Goblin ambush!

Aryll: And Demidevimon's with them!

Peach, Daisy, and Mario: Luigi, hurry!

*(Just after Luigi made it, a Flying Chimchar and Flying Monferno dove down and snatched Daisy up into the air)*

Daisy: Put me down!

*(She tried to shield herself, making them drop her. Just when Big went to catch her, a Flying Infernape and Demidevimon dove down, knocking him back, and the Flying Infernape and a Winged Goblin grabbed Daisy instead. Despite trying to fight them, she was whisked off)*

Daisy: Peach, Luigi, guys! Help!

*(Peach's group then proceeded to try and fight off Demidevimon, Aipom, the Winged Goblins, and the Flying Monkey Pokemon, but then a Flying Pansear and another Winged Goblin went down and knocked the Elemental Sword out of Peach’s hands and onto the ground. She runs after it, but the Flying Pansear and Demidevimon grab at her and carried her off. She, however, kicks Demidevimon, making him and the Flying Pansear drop her onto the ground from the kick's force. She takes shelter underneath a tree to wait on cue to get the Elemental Sword and/or hope someone will get it for her. Suddenly, Shadow and Popple noticed the Elemental Sword on the ground and were about to get it for Peach)*

Shadow: Chaos...!

*(But Demidevimon, another Winged Goblin, and a Flying Panpour pushed him and Popple into Sonic's group, except Omega, and the Fearsome Four, causing them to fall into a hole. Mario and Luigi are fighting some Flying Monkey Pokemon and Winged Goblins off when a Flying Simipour, Flying Pansage, and two Winged Goblins grabbed Mario and Luigi and carried them off)*

Luigi: Hey!

Mario: Let go of us!

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

Zelda: Mario, Luigi, hang on!

Mario: No, Zelda!

Luigi: Just run!

*(Then with that, the Flying Monkey Pokemon and Winged Goblins disappeared into the sky with Mario and Luigi. Then a Flying Primeape, Flying Passimian, and two other Winged Goblins noticed Peach fending off a few when they broke the tree and made her run out to get the Elemental Sword, but they kicked it aside into a deep mud puddle. Seeing Zelda running from the Flying Monkey Pokemon and Winged Goblins, Peach ran to help her when out of nowhere, a Flying Simisage and Winged Goblin grabbed her and carried her off by her feet only so she won't kick back)*

Peach: Zelda!

*(Noticing her, Zelda ran to help her when more Flying Monkey Pokemon and Winged Goblins flew at her)*

Zelda: Peach!

Peach: Zelda, get help!

*(Running to get help, Zelda hurried when she tripped and tumbled down a hill. Noticing more Flying Monkey Pokemon and Winged Goblins diving at her, she ran some more. A hidden Midna saw Zelda running and secretly floated after them. With Peach's group, they were beaten down by the Flying Monkey Pokemon and Winged Goblins that even poor Cait Sith and Omega’s bodies are scattered into pieces, but since they’re robots, they won’t die from that. Rockruff then ran to the direction where the Flying Monkey Pokemon and Winged Goblins are flying away with Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi)*

Rockruff: Guys!

*(But Demidevimon and Aipom swooped down and grabbed him)*

Demidevimon: Gotcha!

*(Then they flew off. Zelda continued running until she saw the tower and then stopped running to face the Flying Monkey Pokemon and Winged Goblins. They arrived, but she blasted some away with her magic. Suddenly, more Flying Monkey Pokemon and Winged Goblins approached and, feeling outnumbered, Zelda ran and took shelter behind the elevator, hoping her friends will come and save her)*

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

*(Suddenly, she heard the Winged Goblins and Flying Monkey Pokemon screeching 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 Veran, standing over the unconscious Winged Goblins and Flying Monkey Pokemon with a huge club)*

Zelda: Mother?

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

Veran: Thank goodness, you’re okay!

Zelda: How did you…?

Veran: I saw them chase you and I had to help.

*(In the forest, Midna saw the whole thing and remained hidden. Back near the tower, Zelda broke off the hug and spoke in defiance)*

Zelda: My friends will come.

Veran: What?

Zelda: They will come! We’re going to defeat you and Hunter J's group, even if it hurts me!

*(Veran went solemn)*

Veran: You mean…? These guys?

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

Zelda: No!

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

*(Zelda panted in disbelief)*

Zelda: And Peach and the others?

Veran: Also dead.

*(Zelda 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 Veran calmly beckon her to return in a melancholy way. Zelda teared up even more and ran up to her and hugged her)*

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

Veran: I understand.

*(They go up the elevator to the tower. Looking out at the distance, Veran secretly smirked evilly, for her trap for Zelda worked. Now Zelda will never leave the tower again. Once both are in the tower, the Winged Goblins and Flying Monkey Pokemon got up, having pretended along with Veran to be knocked out and flew back to the castle. Back in the bushes, Midna, however, saw the whole thing and flew to the direction of Hunter J and Myotismon’s castle. Back in the Haunted Forest, the group recovered, actually alive from the attack. They see Cait Sith and Omega broken into pieces and dizzy, they ran up to the two robots in concern)*

Sonic: What happened to you, Cait Sith and Omega?

Rouge: You both look terrible!

*(Cait Sith and Omega snapped out of his dizzyness and explained)*

Omega: Of course we're looking terrible!

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

Quackerjack: That’s you all over!

Megavolt: Obviously!

Yoshi: We get it!

Tiger: They sure tore you apart.

Popple: But where’s the Elemental Sword?

*(Big revealed that he has it on his fishing pole, all muddied up, making the group relieved)*

Cosmo: (To Big) Good job, Big. *(To Link and Aryll)* Link, Aryll, you’re mechanics, right?

Link: On flying things only.

Aryll: And we want to also become knights.

Tails: Well, get out of your comfort zone. You two and Megavolt are gonna have to help me fix Cait Sith and Omega up.

Megavolt: What?!

Aryll: But…!

Link: He’s right, Aryll and Megavolt.

Cait Sith: Put Omega and me together so we can find the others.

Megavolt: But what if we mess up?

Yoshi: You won't.

Quackerjack: So, be a man, Sparky.

Megavolt: (Angrily) Don't call me "Sparky!"

*(Link calmed him)*

Link: Megavolt, listen!

*(He quiets down and listened)*

Link: If you want to find Peach and the others, especially Zelda, be a man.

*(Realizing he’s right, Aryll and Megavolt got determined)*

Aryll: Alright.

Megavolt: We'll do it.

*(Link pulls a mechanic supply case out of his backpack and with Megavolt, Tails, and Aryll's help, started to work on Cait Sith and Omega)*

Link: Now let’s see….

*(At Hunter J and Myotismon’s castle, Hunter J is holding an angry struggling Rockruff away from an angry Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi)*

Rockruff: Let go of me!

Vanitas: What a nice little cur.

Daisy: Give him back now!

*(Hunter J then placed Rockruff in a basket and locked it. At the doorway, Midna, having snuck past the Inca Guards, made it and witnessed what she’s seeing)*

Hunter J: And as for you four, it’s so kind of you to visit our castle.

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

Daisy and Luigi: (Angrily) Yeah!

Mario: (Angrily) Now give Rockruff back!

Myotismon: All in good time.

Peach: Wrong answer!

*(She was about to kick, but Myotismon stopped her by grabbing her arm and Aipom grabbing her ankle)*

Myotismon: Behave yourself!

Vanitas: And we will give you your dog Pokemon back, after you give back the Ruby Slippers, Topaz Gauntlets, Sapphire Hat, and Diamond Gloves.

*(Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi got defiant as Myotismon released his grip on Peach's arm and Aipom released his grip on Peach's ankle)*

Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi: Over our dead bodies!

*(Hunter J, Myotismon, and Vanitas reacted calmly at first, then smirked evilly at Demidevimon who’s now holding the basket, still containing Rockruff, and Aipom, who is sitting next to him)*

Hunter J, Myotismon, and Vanitas: Very well.

*(Then Myotismon spoke to Demidevimon)*

Myotismon: Throw that basket into the river and drown that mutt!

*(The four got shocked)*

Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi: What?!

*(They go to grab Demidevimon, but Vanitas stopped them again with Hunter J and Myotismon’s help)*

Hunter J: Give the items back or the dog Pokemon dies.

Vanitas: So, what'll it be?

*(Angry at Hunter J, Myotismon, and Vanitas for threatening Rockruff’s life, Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi suddenly remembered that the items won’t let the three villains or Veran steal them from them. Then they pretend to give in)*

Peach: Alright.

Daisy: You win.

Mario: Take them.

Luigi: But don’t hurt Rockruff.

Hunter J and Myotismon: Good.

Vanitas: We knew you’d see reason.

*(They reach for the Ruby Slippers first, but a barrier knocked their hands back, shocking them. Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi smiled smugly at the three villains)*

Daisy: Well, well, well.

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

Luigi: Now if you’ll excuse us….

Mario: We’ll be on our way.

*(They were about to leave when Hunter J, Myotismon, and Vanitas recovered)*

Hunter J, Myotismon, and Vanitas: Not so fast!

*(Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi got angry when Demidevimon blocked the way again)*

Demidevimon: Not so fast, punks!

Hunter J: The three of us forgot that we can’t take them by force!

Myotismon and Vanitas: Indeed.

*(The three suddenly realized and smirked evilly at Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi, much to the four’s confusion)*

Myotismon: Those items will never come off as long as you four are alive. But that’s not what worries us or Veran. It’s how to do it.

Vanitas: These things must be done perfectly. Otherwise, it’ll hurt the spells.

*(Seizing the chance, Midna ran up to the basket secretly and unlocked it, freeing Rockruff. Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi noticed from their narrow view secretly and pretended not to notice. Unfortunately, Rockruff and Midna accidentally knocked over a small statue while trying to run, getting everyone’s attention)*

Midna: Move it or lose it, Rockruff!

Rockruff: Come on!

Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi: Run!

*(They go to escape too, but Aipom backed them off. Myotismon angrily ordered Demidevimon and Aipom)*

Myotismon: After those two, now!

*(Aipom and Demidevimon ran and/or flew after them. At the drawbridge, Rockruff and Midna jumped down onto the rocks and ran off as Aipom, Demidevimon, and the Beanbean Guards threw spears and Demi Darts at them)*

Demidevimon: Stop them! Stop them! Don't let them escape!

*(But luckily, Rockruff and Midna dodged the spears and continued to run back into the Haunted Forest to get help. Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi got relieved upon seeing this from the window)*

Peach: They got away!

Daisy: Yes!

Mario: Hopefully, they’ll find help!

Luigi: Yeah!

Vanitas: As if!

*(Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi darted for the door again, but Hunter J, Myotismon, Vanitas, and the returned Aipom and returned Demidevimon blocked the way again, agitating them)*

Daisy: Oh, come on!

*(Hunter J, Myotismon, Vanitas, and Demidevimon spoke to them as Aipom flew away)*

Hunter J: This will soon be over!

Myotismon and Vanitas: That's right!

Demidevimon: You can take that to the bank!

*(Hunter J, Myotismon, and Vanitas placed a barrier over the window)*

Vanitas: So you won’t climb out!

*(Hunter J picks up an hourglass containing red sand)*

Hunter J: See this? This will time us when we will return to reclaim the items after we find a way to kill you.

Myotismon: And it isn’t long, our pretties. It isn’t long.

Vanitas: We can’t wait forever to get those items!

*(Hunter J flips the hourglass and puts it down. Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi run for the door again, but….)*

Hunter J, Myotismon, and Vanitas: Beat you.

Demidevimon: Now, kiss each other goodbye!

*(Hunter J, Myotismon, Vanitas, and Demidevimon then leave the room, quickly slammed the door, and locked it. Angered, Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi banged on the door, trying to open it)*

Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi: 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)*

Peach: Come on!

*(She slaps the barrier)*

Daisy: If you still had the Elemental Sword, it would’ve been easy!

Mario: Don’t give up!

*(Peach and Mario begins kicking and punching at the barrier again, until they got exhausted and while Peach rested near the big crystal ball, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi sat by the throne in concern for Peach)*

Luigi: There’s nothing we can do.

Mario: We’re stuck here.

Daisy: All because they prevented us from escaping here.

*(Peach’s exhausted panting calmed down as she heard them say it. Then Daisy, Mario, and Luigi felt glum)*

Daisy: I bet everyone back home is worried sick about us besides worrying about Mom.

Mario: Unaware that we’re gonna die soon when Hunter J's group comes back.

Luigi: Figuring out how to kill us.

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

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

*(Peach suddenly got saddened)*

Peach: Yeah, but….

Daisy: We’re trapped.

Mario: There’s nothing we can do about it, unless Rockruff and Midna bring help.

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

Luigi: But what if Rockruff and Midna don’t make it?

*(Hearing those words, Peach 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)*

Peach: (Sadly) Do you remember how Edward and Raj always helped us out from getting hurt or dirty, like with the pigpen before?

*(Daisy, Mario, and Luigi heard her and nods softly with glum looks. Peach then holds back a sob as a tear streamed down her left cheek)*

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

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

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

*(She then started to sing)*

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

**Upon my bed**

**The flaking plaster**

**On my head**

**How I miss it**

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

Peach: (Voice breaking) **Someday, I’ll wake**

**And rub my eyes**

**And in that land**

**Beyond the skies**

**You’ll find me**

*(She then spoke sadly)*

Peach: (Voice breaking) As well as Daisy, Mario, and Luigi.

*(She then resumed her sad singing)*

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

**Bluebirds fly**

**Birds fly over the rainbow**

**Why then?**

**Oh, why did I?**

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

Peach: (Voice breaking) I just wanted us to see the world and escape our troubles, but…. *(Sobs)* We never got away from it!

*(Daisy, Mario, and Luigi got concerned)*

Daisy, Mario, and Luigi: Peach….

*(But Peach tearfully ignored them)*

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

*(She clenched the picture in her hands and after dropping it, she finally broke down crying and hugged herself on the sides. Then then buried her face in her hands as she continued sobbing. Daisy, Mario, and Luigi hung their heads down glumly, feeling bad for Peach and themselves. As Peach continued sobbing, the hourglass got half its sand down already. Back at the tower, Zelda remained glum as Veran finished wiping the mirror)*

Veran: There, all clean.

*(She noticed Zelda still glum and tried to cheer her up, but with deceit, as she sat next to her)*

Veran: Zelda, 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)*

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

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

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

*(Zelda looked up glumly at her and nods)*

Zelda: (Sadly) Okay.

*(Veran nods and then leaves, closing the curtain. Zelda then hung her head down sadly again and sighed sadly, Back in the castle room, Peach unburied her face and 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 Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi’s attention. Suddenly, an image appeared, showing Rinoa, Squall, the Jellybean Scouts, and even E. Gadd looking around for something in a nearby town near Topeka with missing persons posters of Peach, Daisy, Mario and Luigi and even Rockruff, for they were looking for them now that the twister is gone. Noticing Rinoa is actually alright, Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi got confused)*

Peach: Mom’s actually…? Alright?

Daisy: I thought Professor E. Gadd said…?

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

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

*(Peach, Daisy, and Luigi nods)*

Mario: I bet he lied about the heart attack….

*(Peach let realization dawn upon her)*

Peach: (Realizing) To help us make amends with everyone.

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

Squall: There, there. I know we shouldn't have been hard on them.

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

*(The group and even Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi got surprised. Then they see E. Gadd approach to comfort them)*

Squall: Did they see them?

E. Gadd: No, unfortunately.

*(Rinoa stopped crying calmly and turned to him with a soft smile)*

Rinoa: I’m glad you told us about Madame Medusa's lie about the sheriff’s order from asking the sheriff, but…. What matters most is not only Rockruff, but also my daughters and Mario and Luigi's well-being.

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

Lazlo: If we know Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi, they and Rockruff would handle themselves.

Clem: And find a bite to eat!

Raj: And probably find their way home.

Clem: And probably self-defend themselves from danger.

Lazlo: Yeah.

Edward: Like muggers.

Group: Edward!

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

Lazlo: That’s the spirit showing your concern, Edward!

*(Watching this, Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi gave soft smiles and chuckled softly, although Peach’s was more tearful, glad to see that everyone is there for them in realization)*

Raj: Anyway, where is Medusa?

E. Gadd: She’s at the hospital. Broke her leg from being sent up flying by the twister just as it ended. And the sheriff said after she recovers at the hospital, she'll go to jail for making an illegal false claim.

*(Then Edward spoke up impatiently)*

Edward: Less chatting, more searching, people!

*(They realized suddenly)*

Rinoa: Oh, right!

*(They then resumed their search. Happy again while watching this, Peach wiped the last of her tears away as Daisy, Mario, and Luigi looked on proudly)*

Daisy: I knew they would look for us!

Luigi: Yeah!

Mario: Yep-er-rooney!

Peach: They *do* understand us.

*(Suddenly, after Peach picks her picture up and puts it back in her dress pocket, the crystal ball went dark, much to the four’s shock and confusion and then anger)*

Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi: What the…?!

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

Daisy: Why did it vanish?!

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

Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi: (Angrily) Bring them back now!

*(Suddenly, Hunter J, Myotismon, and Vanitas’ images appeared in the crystal ball, much to the four’s shock)*

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

*(Then he, Hunter J, and Myotismon spoke up wickedly with evil smirks as the four got angry slowly, with Peach’s boiling over)*

Vanitas: (Wickedly) We’ll give you your precious family and friends!

Hunter J and Myotismon: (Wickedly) In your imaginations!

*(They cackle wickedly as the three vanished. In a fury, Peach then kicks the crystal ball, shattering it. She panted in anger)*

Mario: Show her, Peach!

*(Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi 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)*

Mario: Come on!

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

Peach: Why didn’t we think of that?

Mario: I don't know either.

*(Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi then shrugged casually, now knowing they can escape. Then while holding the barrier open, they carefully climbed out the window and once outside, Peach and Mario let the barrier go, closing it up, and then the four began bravely climbing carefully down the castle wall towards the ground)*

***Coming up: Rockruff and Midna find and bring the group to the castle to rescue the escaping Peach, Daisy, Mario, and Luigi first and then to the tower to rescue Zelda. At the same time, Zelda finally makes a shocking discovery about herself and Veran’s lies and true colors and goes to escape.***
