Into the Unknown/The Elemental Spirits Awakened on Agrabah

*(Later, after finishing packing up Pazu’s gang’s belongings from their old home, the heroes, upon returning to the palace, began to make a new room for Pazu’s gang, since, once Pazu and Sheeta’s groups get married, are now gonna live in the palace. Then upon arriving at the throne room alone, Charlie and Sasha secretly snooped through the wedding gifts)*

Sasha: (Whispering) I hope Pazu’s group and Stellaluna’s gift is still here.

Charlie: (Whispering) You and me both.

*(After looking a bit, Sasha spots something and picked it up, revealing it to be a golden scepter)*

Sasha: (Whispering) Found it. The Golden Scepter.

Charlie: (Whispering, smiling) Good job, Sasha.

*(They head for the new room’s construction site with the Golden Scepter in tow. Hidden nearby, Swackhammer’s group and the mysterious thieves accompanying them silently followed them secretly, still hidden. In the room, the heroes are still working on it when Rarity noticed her makeup powder cup sitting nearby and picked it up)*

Rarity: Why’s my makeup powder here?

Heroes: (Confused) Makeup powder?

*(Pinkie Pie took a closer look and realized sheepishly)*

Pinkie Pie: (Realizing sheepishly) Oops! I thought that was granite mixing powder I was asked to bring in a cup like that.

Rarity: Well, it’s not.

*(Thunderlane and Pokey Pierce then came in with a huge cup of granite mixing powder)*

Thunderlane: Here it is.

Pokey Pierce: And it’s heavy for a cup this small.

*(They place it down gently and exhaled in relief, glad to have gotten something that heavy into the room)*

Fluttershy: But don’t you think you should label them?

Billy: That way we won’t mix up the powders.

Rarity: (To Fluttershy and Billy) Good idea. *(To Pinkie Pie)* Don’t you agree?

Pinkie Pie: Yep!

*(Rarity powders herself a little bit with the makeup powder. Unknown to everyone, twelve mysterious cloaked shadowy figures arrived towards the room’s balcony via the trees in the garden outside, looking at Pazu’s group for some reason. Back inside after she finished, Rarity noticed the makeup powder cup is empty with little tidbits of makeup powder in the cup)*

Rarity: Well, it’s empty.

*(She offers the cup to Pinkie Pie)*

Rarity: Care to discard this please?

Pinkie Pie: (Excitedly) Would I?!

Heroes: Sure.

Rarity: Discard it like a baseball.

Pinkie Pie: (Excitedly) With Figment as the umpire?!

Rarity: (Nods, giving the cup to Pinkie Pie) With Figment as the umpire.

*(Figment then magically turns into an umpire at a baseball game near the doorway)*

Figment: Curve ball time!

*(Pinkie Pie poses herself in determination with a playful smile like a baseball pitcher. Then with one powerful throw, she threw the cup at Figment, resulting him to almost catch the cup, only to miss, much to the heroes’ shock. Then Charlie and Sasha came in on cue)*

Charlie and Sasha: (Unaware at first) Everyone, we….

*(They screamed a bit upon seeing the cup flying at them and jumped out of the way, causing the cup to crash right behind a nearby column, poofing the last remaining makeup powder all over that area. After recovering, the heroes and even Charlie and Sasha saw the mess and Charlie and Sasha then gave what appeared to be angry stern glares at first at everyone)*

Pinkie Pie: (Gulps, apologetically) I’m sorry!

Rarity: I’m at fault, too! I encouraged her….

*(Charlie and Sasha then held their hands up at them, as if cueing them to be quiet, their angry stern glares turning to stern looks. But then, to the heroes’ calm surprise at first, Charlie and Sasha suddenly smiled while chuckling a bit)*

Charlie: Well….

Sasha: Next time you throw a cup of makeup powder like that….

Charlie: Make sure it actually hits the *target* on the wall over there.

*(He points at a target marking next to the column where the cup crashed. Realizing, the heroes got happily relieved)*

Heroes: Sure.

Pinkie Pie: I guess my pitch was a little off this time.

Ace: You sure had us worried with those fake angry stern looks.

Sasha: (In a shrug-like tone) Well, we try.

Charlie: Figment taught us that technique.

*(Noticing the Golden Scepter, the heroes got interested while Hook got suspicious)*

Hook: What’s that scepter?

*(Charlie and Sasha changed the subject upon hearing him and then looking at the Golden Scepter)*

Charlie: (Realizing) Oh! A gift for Pazu’s group and Stellaluna.

Sasha: Made specifically for them.

*(Pazu’s group and Stellaluna got interested)*

Pazu’s group and Stellaluna: For us?

Hook: (Crossing his arms angrily) You never said anything about a scepter among the wedding gifts.

Smee: (Happily interested) Where did you get it?

Hook: (Suspiciously) That’s what I’d like to know.

Sasha: Captain, as much as Charlie and I want to tell you, we can’t.

Hook: Why not?

Sasha: Because it’s a secret.

Charlie: It’s classified.

Smee: (Impressed) Ooh, like secret agent work?

Charlie: Somewhat like that, Smee.

Pazu: But why is that scepter that special for me, my group, and Stellaluna?

Stellaluna: What’s the surprise?

Smee: I love surprises!

*(Hidden behind the column where the cup crashed during Charlie, Sasha, and Hook’s conversation, with Pazu and Stellaluna’s lines among them, Swackhammer’s group and the mysterious thieves quietly patted the makeup powder off themselves. But as soon as they finished, however, Ruggedo, a lizard-like figure, and a male figure suddenly felt their own sneezes coming up. Noticing, the hidden villains silently ushered them in anger and annoyance to not sneeze. Then just when Swackhammer and the two mysterious thief leaders stopped them upon Smee’s last line, Ruggedo, the lizard-like figure, and the male figure sneezed loudly. Hearing the sneezes, the heroes turned to the column in confusion)*

Sheeta: What was that?

Spike: That sounded like sneezes.

Rainbow Dash: Well, no kidding, Mr. Wizard. We all heard them.

*(Suddenly, Ruggedo’s foot stomped a powerful stomp onto the floor, cracking the room’s floor from a brief tremor, much to the heroes’ shock. Then the crack opened a short hole, making the heroes fall down into it, and making Charlie drop the Golden Scepter near the hole. As they recovered, they looked up. Then upon climbing out and just when Twilight Sparkle was about to pick up the Golden Scepter, a figure jumped up in front of them like a jack-in-the-box, snarling at them, making the Mane Seven scream in terror, hugging the Stallion Seven in fear. That figure is a slender female Spencer's Goanna Lizard with teal scales, a long, pointed, crocodile-like snout, a long tail, turquoise markings at her snout, throat, underbelly, and bottom tail, yellow eyes with orange irises and black snake-like pupils, a forked red tongue, sharp white teeth, and sharp, black claws. Upon recognizing the lizard as she snarled a sneering laugh at the Mane Seven upon scaring them, Charlie, Sasha, Itchy, and even Hook and Smee realized)*

Itchy: It can’t be….

*(Then on cue, Swachammer’s group and the mysterious thieves jumped out of their hiding spot, weapons readied and surrounding the heroes. Among the mysterious thieves are four male human mobsters, a human woman, a human man, and a male cat-like Pokemon. The first mobster is a heavyset yellow skinned human man with short gray hair, and wearing a gray long-sleeved jacket with a white folded handkerchief in his left side chest part pocket over a teal green long-sleeved collar-flapped, button-up shirt with a dark teal green placket, buttons, and Peter Pan collar, a gold chain necklace underneath his shirt, a silver Rolex watch on his left wrist, a gold chain bracelet on his right wrist, a gold pinky ring on his right hand's pinky finger, dark teal green pants, and black shoes, and sometimes carries a revolver and smokes a cigar. The second mobster is a yellow skinned human man with short brown hair, a charcoal gray long-sleeved business suit over a black long-sleeved collar-flapped, button-up shirt, a black stringed necklace with a fake shark tooth charm underneath his shirt, a black leatherbanded watch on his left wrist, a lavender necktie, charcoal gray pants, and black shoes, and, like the first mobster, sometimes carried a revolver. The third mobster is a yellow skinned human man with short black curly afro-like hair, and wearing a navy blue long-sleeved business suit, a white long-sleeved collar-flapped, button-up shirt, a darkness blue necktie, a gold chain necklace underneath his shirt, a silver gold Rolex watch on his left wrist, navy blue pants, and black shoes, and, like the first two mobsters, sometimes carries a revolver. The last mobster is a yellow skinned human man with short wavy black hair, thick black eyebrows, and wearing a plum colored long-sleeved business suit over a light lavender long-sleeved collar-flapped, button-up shirt with dark purple pinstripes, a gold chain necklace underneath his shirt, a gold Rolex watch on his left wrist, a light purple necktie, plum colored business pants, and violet dress shoes, and, like the first three mobsters, sometimes carried a revolver. The woman is a human woman with long hip-length magenta hair with a curl at the end, green eyes, and is wearing green orb earrings, a white cropped shirt with a red R on the front, a black cropped tanktop underneath, dark gray arm gloves, a white miniskirt, and dark gray leg boots. The man is a human man with short chin-length light blue hair, light blue eyes, and is wearing a white shirt with a red R on the front, a black tanktop underneath, dark gray gloves, white pants with a purple rim around the waist, and dark gray boots. And the male cat-like Pokemon is a male Normal-type scratching cat Pokemon with light beige fur, brown tips on the toes and curly tail, two whiskers on the forehead, two whiskers on each side of the cheeks, black ears with the interior colored pink, and has a oval-shaped gold coin on the forehead)*

Charlie: What is the meaning of this?!

Hook: Where’s your leader?!

*(Then they heard two males make an evil chuckle. They turned and saw two cloaked figures approach them slowly, one of them armed with a rifle)*

Cloaked leader 1: Right here.

Cloaked leader 2: (Sneeringly) Sorry if my partner’s pet scared you.

*(Recognizing their voices, Hook got shocked)*

Hook: Those voices….

*(Then the cloaked leaders removed their cloaks, revealing themselves. The first leader is a human man with short brown side hair, and wearing a brown cowboy-like hat, a tan long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a brown vest, an olive green bandana around the neck, olive brown pants with black suspenders, and black boots, and sometimes carried a rifle and a knife. And the last leader is a cruel-looking man with short spiky brown hair, a spiky brown goatee, and wearing a black short-sleeved short jumpsuit (With the red letter “A” on it) over a gray long-sleeved bodily jumpsuit, a yellow belt with a gold buckle, red shoulder pads with black dots all over it and a yellow spike on each shoulder, yellow bracelets, gray gloves, a yellow mask with black eyes and red slanting pupils, and yellow, black, and red boots. Hook became shocked upon seeing them, while the others got shocked and surprise combined)*

Charlie: Percival C. McLeach and Vicious the Iron-Masked Marauder of Team Rocket?!

Sasha: Teaming up with Swackhammer, Ruggedo, and their army?!

*(Then noticing the male mobsters, woman, man, and male cat-like Pokemon among the Team Rocket members, Itchy got shocked)*

Itchy: (Gasps) Fat Tony and his mobsters?!

Leatherhead: Consistin’ Louie, Legs, Johnny Tightlips, Jessie, James, and Meowth?!

*(The mobsters’ group, now revealed to be Don Marion Anthony "Fat Tony" D'Amico, Max Legman AKA Legs, Louis "Louie" Walters, Giovanni Silencio AKA Jonathan "Johnny Tightlips" Schmallippe, Jessie, James, and Meowth, aimed their weapons even more with slight smirks)*

Meowth: What’s it to ya?

*(Getting determined, the heroes pulled their weapons out)*

Hook: What’re you doing here in Agrabah?!

Smee: (Scoldingly) Can’t you see we’re busy here?

Hook: (To Smee, angrily) SMEE!!

*(Then Vicious and McLeach approached them slowly, as the lizard came up to McLeach)*

Vicious: (Sneeringly) Relax.

McLeach: (Sneeringly) We’re just dropping by in the neighborhood.

Itchy: (Looking at Fat Tony and his gang) But none of us knew Fat Tony and his gang would…!

Fat Tony: I like how you grasp the situation.

Louie: We joined forces just before the war began.

Meowth: In case you didn’t know.

Panic: And technically, Swackhammer’s gang and me actually just recently joined them, yesterday to be exact.

Pain: That’s right.

Demidevimon: (Sneeringly) So there.

Arukenimon and Mummymon: (Sneeringly) Yeeeeeah.

Swackhammer: (Sneeringly) And we’d thought we “Borrow” something from you.

*(He points at the Golden Scepter on the floor still. Shocked, Pazu’s group and Stellaluna got angry)*

Sharkboy: As if we’ll give this to you!

*(Yoshi grabbed the Golden Scepter with his tongue and then grabbed it. McLeach turned to the lizard)*

McLeach: Joanna, fetch.

*(The lizard, now revealed to be Joanna, snarled viciously with a wicked slasher grin, concerning Yoshi. Then Joanna charged at Yoshi really fast, making Yoshi attempt to run away while carrying the Golden Scepter, screaming. But Joanna, unfortunately, lunged at Yoshi, grabbing his tail, savagely dragging him back to her, and after pinning him down, began to wrestle over the Golden Scepter. Suddenly, a gunshot from a revolver fired on the floor next to Yoshi and Joanna, stopping the fight and even scaring the daylights out of Joanna. They turned and it’s revealed that it was Legs who shot the floor. Then Legs aimed his gun at Yoshi)*

Legs: Enough games!

*(Then Yoshi threw the Golden Scepter to Pazu, who catches it. Then just when Pazu was about to run out quickly with Joanna chasing him after releasing Yoshi to go after him, Jessie, James, and Meowth blocked the way. Then hearing the guns clicking and Charlie and Sasha scream a bit, the heroes turned, and saw, to their shock, McLeach and Vicious holding Charlie and Sasha hostage by holding them back respectively, with Fat Tony and his gang aiming their guns at them. Then Joanna smugly pointed her claw at this)*

McLeach: Get over here and give us the Golden Scepter.

Vicious: And we’ll spare them.

Fat Tony: Unless you want your precious sultan and sultaness to be sleeping with the fishes.

Louie: The dead ones, that is.

Heroes: Never!

Fidget: How about you release them first before we comply?

Johnny: (Scoffs) Go suck a lemon!

*(He and the mobsters aim their guns at Charlie and Sasha again. Concerned, the heroes looked at Charlie and Sasha, who are also concerned. Then secretly eyeing the twelve cloaked figures secretly entering the room from the garden trees while hidden behind columns, signaling them to let them help, Pazu’s group secretly got an idea suddenly upon noticing that. Then after Pazu’s group secretly gestured to the heroes to look, they did so, and then having no time to second guess upon seeing the figures nod at them silently, the heroes and Pazu’s group pretend to give in as Pazu approached McLeach, holding out the Golden Scepter)*

Pazu: Okay. Take it.

Sheeta: Just don’t hurt them.

*(Then the villains smirked evilly in victory, and after they let Charlie and Sasha go, McLeach snatched the Golden Scepter from Pazu)*

Vicious: A wise choice.

McLeach: And now, with this gold scepter, we will take the greatest treasure from far away, and we’ll gain all the power of Agrabah!

Vicious: Upon getting the fabled treasure from far away!

*(Fat Tony and Johnny then turned to us readers with smug evil smirks)*

Fat Tony: (To us) And it’s not even 8:00.

Johnny: (To us) Not a bad evening! How’s that for a lucky charm?

*(Then just when the villains were about to leave, the heroes and figures secretly nod at each other, and then….)*

Pazu’s group: NOW!!

*(Then on cue, the figures leapt out and one of the figures shot a blast of ice magic on the floor at the villains’ feet, making them slip on the ice, fall down, and slide around. As McLeach zipped by, Pazu, at the right timing, grabbed back the Golden Scepter from him. Then as the villains were sent flying off into the air from the ice, McLeach and Vicious calls out to them in anger)*

McLeach: This is not over!

Vicious: We will get that treasure!

*(Then the villains disappeared far away. Then the figures and heroes looked at each other silently. Then the figures looked out at the distance where the villains were sent flying, they then left suddenly)*

Heroes: Wait!

Pazu: Who are you?!

*(But too late; The figures were gone. Later in the throne room, Hook is angrily arguing with Pazu’s group, Stellaluna, Charlie, and Sasha over the Golden Scepter as everyone else is watching)*

Hook: What was the big idea for the enemies from Shirabad coming to this palace uninvited to steal a scepter for?!

Charlie: We don’t know yet, Captain.

Sasha: But rest assured, we will investigate tomorrow.

Hook: But what if something else bad were to happen like earlier?

Stellaluna: Then we’ll just protect Charlie and Sasha!

Snake: And we’sssss liked it if you helped.

Ace: Snake.

*(Snake got surprised, thinking Ace is gonna punch him for that, but nothing happened)*

Snake: You’re notsss gonna punch me?

Ace: No. You have a point for once.

*(Hook got pouty)*

Hook: (Whining) But why would I want to help a bunch of street rats and even that magic-filled bat girl?!

Heroes: *Former* street rats.

Fidget: (Gestures to Stellaluna) And she had a rough childhood due to her parents abandoning her for mysterious reasons.

Hook: (Scoffs) Whatever. *(Points his hook at Pazu’s group and Stellaluna accusingly)* But ever since they came into our lives, things have gotten bad for us!

*(The heroes verbally defended Pazu’s group and Stellaluna)*

Fidget: Hey!

Figment: (Imitating a trial lawyer) Objection!

Sasha: Shame on you!

Charlie: True things did go bad, but don’t forget that they *are* part of the Merry Team, fixing those bad things!

Itchy: And both times before, if they hadn’t, we would’ve been enslaved or killed by Myotismon’s group!

Stellaluna: With me involved in the second time we fought Myotismon’s group!

Hook: (Putting his hand and hook on his hips) That may be the case, but every time I go near them, I get a bad feeling all the time!

Sheeta: Like it or not, Captain, they are me and my group’s future husbands you’re gonna obey along with us!

Leatherhead: Which I will out of loyalty, by gumbo, because that be the code of honor of the palace guard that *you* taught me and the other guards!

Fidget: And don’t forget that Stellaluna here is now my wife, since we just recently got married a week ago, in case you forgot!

Charlie: And if you have both consideration *and* a heart, I would recommend trusting them for all the honesty and good deeds they’ve done for us in the past!

Sasha: And just accept them for who and what they are!

*(Then with that said and done, the argument was over as the heroes left while Hook just stood there, his anger slowly melting away as they left. But the only one who stayed by Hook is Smee. Hook then sighed in calm agitation and gave in somewhat)*

Hook: (To himself) Accept them, huh?

*(Smee was about to speak)*

Hook: (To Smee) Not a word.

*(Then Hook walked out of the room. After Smee shrugged, he, too, left. In Sheeta’s group’s room at nighttime, the heroes have already dressed themselves in pajamas and are preparing for bed)*

Arturo: What you guys did for us…. *Gracias*.

*(The heroes nod a “You’re welcome”)*

Leatherhead: Think nothing of it, you betcha.

Lavagirl: But what Hook said was uncalled for.

*(They see Stellaluna lost in thought)*

Fidget: Stellaluna?

Aria: Are you okay?

*(Hearing them, Stellaluna snapped out of her thoughts and spoke)*

Stellaluna: I was just thinking.

Fidget: About what?

Stellaluna: Well, I agree what Hook said was uncalled for, but…. Part of me believes that he was overreacting, yet another part of me believed that I might belong somewhere else than just the palace here.

*(Fidget sat down beside her reassuringly)*

Fidget: Hey, hey. Don’t be so hard on yourself. We know that you still belong here.

Stellaluna: Well….

*(Suddenly, she heard the siren-like voice call out to her and looked out the window, much to everyone’s notice and confusion. After that finished, Fidget asked away)*

Fidget: What is it?

*(Then Figment turned into Rambo)*

Figment: (Imitating Rambo) Is it the enemy?

*(Stellaluna then hesitated upon hearing them, still looking out the window. Then she calmed herself as she turned to them)*

Stellaluna: No. I thought I heard….

*(Figment turned back to normal as she struggled to think up an answer, not wanting to make them worry)*

Stellaluna: I probably think I heard a hawk screech from out in the desert.

Fidget: A hawk screeching at this time?

*(They listened, then surprisingly, they heard a soft hawk screech from afar)*

Fidget: It is a hawk.

*(Then Figment called out to the desert, turning into Joe E. Brown)*

Figment: (Imitating Joe E. Brown) Hey! HEEEEEEEY!!

*(Silence as they listened, then nothing. Popple then spoke to Figment as the latter returned to normal)*

Popple: Was that really necessary to scream at the top of your lungs in the middle of the night like that?

Figment: (Reassuringly) I was just trying to help Stellaluna. No shame in that.

Popple: But what if you woke up someone who was trying to sleep tonight? Ever thought of that?

Spyro: He has a point.

Cynder: They would be angry at you.

Sparx: Like cranky grumpy old men.

*(Suddenly, during Popple, Spyro, Cynder, and Sparx’s lines, Stellaluna secretly heard the siren-like voice call to her again, calmly worrying her. After that ended, Stellaluna, after casting aside her secret calm worried face, then pretended to yawn)*

Stellaluna: (Fake yawns) Speaking of sleeping tonight, I think we should all be in bed.

*(Yoshi yawned as the heroes, realizing she’s right, agreed)*

Applejack: Time to hit the hay.

Heroes: Good night.

*(Then they all went to bed. Later, everyone is all sleeping peacefully. Well, almost everyone. In his room, Hook is practicing a speech of some kind in front of his mirror)*

Hook: (Practicing) The point being, is that I apologize for….

*(He realized what he just said, and tried again)*

Hook: (To himself) No, no! That’s too sissy. *(Practicing again)* I want to say….

*(He groaned in annoyance)*

Hook: This is going to be difficult.

*(Suddenly, he jumped in surprise when he heard Smee talk)*

Smee: Difficult on what?

*(Hook sighed in relief and then got annoyed upon seeing Smee, dressed in pajamas, looking at him in confusion)*

Hook: You nearly gave me a heart attack, Smee!

Smee: Sorry, Captain. *(Takes his coat off)* I was just coming in to help you prepare for bed.

Hook: (Grabbing his robe and pajamas) Aye.

*(Then, after handing his robe to Smee, he changed behind a vanity curtain into his pajamas and then came out, wearing it)*

Smee: But I’m confused. What did you mean “Difficult?”

*(Hook then tried to fib as he let Smee help him put his robe on)*

Hook: (Lying) Oh, I meant “Difficult” as in needing your help to get ready for bed.

*(Smee became unsure once Hook secured his robe on himself)*

Smee: (Slowly, unsure) Okay.

Hook: (Shrugs it off) Relax. If their majesties say we’re investigating the Golden Scepter in the morning, we’ll do that.

Smee: (Confused) With Pazu’s group and Stellaluna helping us?

*(Hook hesitated and puts on an annoyed look, still fibbing)*

Hook: I highly doubt it.

*(But Smee, seeing his captain hesitate, got happy)*

Smee: (Realizing happily) Oh! I’m starting to think you were actually practicing an apology speech.

*(He giggles a bit as Hook calmly hesitated again)*

Smee: That is what’s called “Good form,” Captain.

Hook: (Nervously) Uh…. I wasn’t practicing an apology speech.

*(He chuckles nervously, but Smee gave a playful smile, knowing his captain better. Then finally, Hook sighed in annoyance and cracked)*

Hook: Alright! I was practicing an apology speech! I was thinking about our fight in the throne room earlier, and I decided to apologize just to make them better! You happy now, Smee?!

*(Smee giggles)*

Smee: Happier as I’ll ever be. And I bet you’re doing this because you care.

Hook: (Aghast) Care for those former street…?! *(Corrects himself)* Those street rats and that bat girl?!

*(Smee gave a smug smile again. Then Hook sighed in defeat, agitated)*

Hook: (Giving the death glare, slowly speaking angrily) Don’t you tell *anyone* about this! Only *I* will give that explanation through my apology speech. Understand?!

Smee: (Saluting happily) Aye-aye, sir!

*(Then Smee left to go to bed. Then Hook went to his bed. Back in Sheeta’s group’s room, everyone is sleeping. Suddenly, Stellaluna, sleeping with Fidget, hears the siren-like voice call out to her again, slowly waking her up. She slowly got up and looked around in concern as Fidget continued sleeping. After shrugging, she was about to go back to sleep when the siren-like voice started singing some vocals, calling out to her again. She then got annoyed and quietly climbed out of bed. Then as more vocals from the siren-like voice continued, she puts on her robe and quietly snuck out of the room to investigate in confusion. Unknown to her, Sheeta’s group, Popple, Yoshi, and even Fidget woke up slowly upon hearing her close the door quietly. In the palace halls, Stellaluna walked out to the throne room, continuing to hear the siren-like voice sing out to her. Unknown to Stellaluna, she didn’t notice Fidget, Popple, Yoshi, and Sheeta’s group silently hiding themselves and listening in to see what’s going on. Then Stellaluna started singing)*

Stellaluna: **I can hear you**

**But they don’t**

**Some look for trouble**

**While others won’t**

**There’s a thousand reasons**

**I should go about my day**

**And learn about your whispers**

**Which I wish should show itself**

*(She vocalizes a bit and then listened. The siren-like voice sang, as if responding. They did that again before Stellaluna resumed singing as she headed to the giant picture of the entire group that was apparently taken upon the Merry Team forming after Myotismon’s group’s death)*

Stellaluna: **You may be a voice**

**You’re not a ringing in my ear**

**And if they heard you**

**Which they don’t**

**I feeling full of fear**

**Everyone I’ve ever loved**

**Is here within these walls**

**I’m sorry, secret siren**

**But I need to know your calls**

**I’ve had some adventures**

**You might be something new**

**Yet I’m afraid of what I’m risking**

**If I follow you**

**Into the unknown**

**Into the unknown**

**Into the unknown**

*(Then she exited the palace into the garden. Then the siren-like voice sang out to her. She sighs as the siren-like voice finished singing a bit. Then six small figures, one of them a small glowing white light that resembles a star, approached her as she resumed singing, Sheeta’s group, Popple, Yoshi, and Fidget followed and watched her secretly)*

Stellaluna: **What do you want?**

**‘Cause you’ve been keeping me awake**

**Are you here to distract me**

**So I make a big mistake?**

*(Then the six figures silently greeted her in a friendly way calmly, and she felt at ease upon seeing them as she continued singing)*

Stellaluna: **Or are you someone out there**

**Who’s a little bit like me?**

**Who knows deep down**

**I might belong somewhere else?**

**Every day’s a little harder**

**As I feel my power grow**

**Don’t you know there’s part of me**

**That longs to go**

**Into the unknown?**

**Into the unknown**

**Into the unknown**

*(At the last three parts of that song, the light then conjured up starry-like images, representing the symbols of the elements from Shirabad, much to the surprise of the hidden Sheeta’s group, Fidget, Popple, and Yoshi. Then the siren-like voice sang out a bit as Stellaluna became calmly amazed by the images and then resumed singing again)*

Stellaluna: **Are you out there?**

**Do you know me?**

**Can you feel me?**

**Can you show me?**

*(Then, after she touched the images with one gentle swipe, the images changed into five separate familiar-looking figures representing the elements as she and the siren-like voice then vocalized together. Then after the images and vocals finished, the six figures then sensed something and flew off quickly, much to Stellaluna’s confusion that she chased after them outside the palace garden to a hillside, the siren-like voice vocalizing a bit. Still hidden, Sheeta’s group, Popple, Fidget, and Yoshi followed her)*

Stellaluna: **Where are you going?**

**Don’t leave me alone**

**How do I follow you?**

*(Then the figures vanished in thin air at the edge of the hillside near the palace garden entrance. Upon reaching the edge, Stellaluna stopped running and reached her hand out. Then she concluded the song)*

Stellaluna: **Into the unknown?**

*(At that last line, the siren-like voice vocalized a bit with her. Then one cue as the song ended, Stellaluna collapsed onto all fours and as soon as she did, a million small diamond-shaped crystals appeared all over Agrabah in the air, surprising Sheeta’s group, Fidget, Popple, Yoshi, and even Stellaluna. All around Agrabah, the people woke up to the commotion of the crystals appearing and came out of their homes in confusion and calm surprise. Even the palace residents woke up to this in confusion and calm surprise. Back at the hillside, Stellaluna stood up and took a closer look at the crystals and noticed each of the crystals have five separate symbols. She immediately recognized them)*

Stellaluna: (Pointing at each symbol upon saying that element) Water, fire, earth, air, and light.

*(As soon as she finished, the crystals suddenly rained all over Agrabah onto the ground. Confused even more, the entire population of Agrabah looked around and even observed some of the crystals upon recognizing the element symbols. Suddenly, all the flames on the torches and beacons went out, darkening everything, much to their calm concern. Then even the water from the wells and fountains vanished. Then a powerful windstorm started blowing powerfully, forcing everyone to run out of Agrabah in a panic. During this, Stellaluna finally noticed Sheeta’s group, Yoshi, Fidget, and Popple come out to her and helping her with Fidget carrying Stellaluna, bridal-style)*

Stellaluna: Oh! I-I can walk!

*(Then making the panic worse, is when an earthquake immediately hits Agrabah, but instead of the ground cracking, the tremors instead shifted into little bumps and forced everyone out. During the chaos, Figment, as a police officer, is helping out on the evacuation)*

Figment: (Imitating Barnaby Jones on a megaphone) Remain calm! Stay in line!

*(Then as soon as everyone is out of Agrabah, an evil laugh was heard in the air and as soon as it ended, the tremors and winds stopped, and then the flames and water returned calmly, much to everyone’s concern and confusion combined as Fidget put Stellaluna down gently. Then the crystals merged into something small in a golden light. Then it completed, emerging from the light as a gold ring topped with six crystal engravings, one blue, one red, one green, one yellow, one white, and one pink, and around the loop itself, are six tiny engraved words; Loyal, Brave, True, Kind, Pure, and Love. It then floated into Stellaluna’s hands, much to her and everyone else’s confusion)*

Aziz’s mom: (During the indistinct talking) What happened?

*(Even the heroes, as well as Hook, are confused)*

Comet Tail: What was that about?

Twilight Sparkle: I have no idea.

Hook: Well, nobody has an idea what just happened!

*(Smee then got dumbfounded)*

Smee: Although, come to think of it, I thought I heard the sound of someone laughing evilly from far away….

*(Hearing him, everyone got concerned calmly mixed with confusion)*

Hook: I hate to say it, Smee, but you weren’t the only one who heard that laugh.

*(Everyone turned to Charlie and Sasha for support)*

Charlie: I say we call a meeting at the nearby oasis.

Sasha: This’ll probably be a long night.

*(Later at the oasis nearby Agrabah, everyone is having their meeting while the kids are allowed to play in a nearby corner. And just now, Sheeta’s group, Fidget, and Popple, with Yoshi helping, just explained what they witnessed from Stellaluna a few minutes ago)*

Ace: (Scratching his head in confusion) Stellaluna heard something from afar?

Popple: Calling out to her, to be more precise, see?

*(Everyone looked at Stellaluna in calm concern. All except Hook, that is, who glared flatly at her. Then he approached her, his arms crossed sternly)*

Hook: Is there any secrets you are keeping from all of us?

*(Seeing she can’t keep it a secret anymore, especially from what just happened, Stellaluna, out of calm remorse, confessed)*

Stellaluna: I couldn’t tell you because I didn’t want to worry you.

Hook: YOU DIDN’T WANT US TO WORRY?!

*(Sasha sternly shushed him. Getting her tone, Hook calmed himself a bit and then asked nicely, but with a calm glare)*

Hook: What did you want us to not worry about?

*(Even Fidget went up to her in calm concern, gently putting his hands on her shoulders)*

Fidget: Seeing how it is just now, we *are* worried suddenly. I mean, earlier, I sensed it.

Raksha: We all did.

Popple: So, could ya be a doll and tell us WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!

*(A short pause, then Stellaluna confessed even more)*

Stellaluna: I’ve been hearing a siren-like voice call out to me lately.

*(Everyone got calmly surprised. Then Stellaluna continued)*

Stellaluna: It started yesterday. Then just tonight, I had a communication with it, like we were connected somehow. Then six small figures appeared and joined in that communication, like they somehow knew me as an old friend. Then as soon as the chaos began after the crystals appeared, I sensed something good trying to warn me that an evil force is causing the elemental chaos on both Agrabah *and* Shirabad.

*(She then looked at the ring along with everyone else)*

Stellaluna: Then as soon as I received this ring, I actually heard another voice, a female, speak to me through telepathy.

Sasha: What did she say?

Stellaluna: She said “Don’t lose this ring. It holds the key to our future.”

*(Silence, then Hook got annoyed and angry)*

Hook: What future?! Did you not forget that Shirabad and Agrabah have been enemies since we went into a short war over the murders of the chief’s wife and our current sultan’s mother?! I don’t know what is really going on, but I’ve been tolerant of you *and* the street rats, *(Gestures to Pazu’s group)* but this time, I’m putting my foot down!

*(During Hook’s rant, Charlie, Sasha, Itchy, Leatherhead, Sheeta’s group, and even the rest of the heroes thought about what Stellaluna just told them and as soon as Hook finished, Figment speaks up)*

Figment: QUIET!!

*(Hearing him, everyone turned to him)*

Figment: Before we can discuss this further, I think we should consult the Cave of Wonders about this.

*(A short pause, then everyone agreed)*

Sparx: Since you put it that way.

*(Then later, everyone arrived on horseback and/or camelback to the spot where the Cave of Wonders is. Then after Figment pulled out two new gold halves of the scarab similar to the old ones that melted in the first story, he placed them together and the halves summoned the Cave of Wonders upon merging with the dune. Then as soon as the tiger head appeared, he spoke)*

Tiger head: Who disturbs my slumber?

*(The main heroes, Charlie, Sasha, and Itchy approached and kneeled down to the tiger head in respect)*

Charlie: Just us.

Sasha: Our apologies, but this is urgent.

*(The heroes silently encouraged Stellaluna to explain, to which she did)*

Stellaluna: Something evil we don’t know of just attacked Agrabah, involving the elements of Shirabad. And I have been hearing a siren-like voice call out to me, and we need to know this answer; What is happening between Agrabah and Shirabad, what is the voice calling out to me, and why did I receive this ring from the elements?

*(She shows the ring to the tiger head. After looking at the ring, the tiger head calmly gave a nod and then explained away in a cryptic way)*

Tiger head: You speak the truth. I know not what really caused the war between Agrabah and Shirabad, nor who the voice is, but I do know one thing about them, regarding that ring you hold.

*(Then he magically conjured images from his eyes, showing everything he’s describing)*

Tiger head: The war between the two kingdoms; That past is not what it seems. A wrong must be corrected, by finding the real truth behind the past. Without the truth, both Agrabah and Shirabad will have no future. The three virtues, Loyalty, Bravery, and Truth, created between the two kingdoms must unite in order to complete the last three virtues, Kindness, Friendship, and Family. And to do so, you must follow along with all six virtues by that code of honor, to make yourselves these six followings regarding the virtues; Loyal, Brave, True, Kind, Pure, and Love. And to do so, first consult the Golden Scepter of Shirabad you have in your possession, and then go to the source of the elements in Shirabad.

*(Realizing that means going to Shirabad after the images magically vanished, the heroes then looked closely at the ring and saw the exact six engraved words the tiger head said. Then Stellaluna was about to speak)*

Stellaluna: But what if something bad…?

*(Then the tiger head roared and then closed, releasing the two halves of the gold scarab)*

Tiger head: (Voice-over) Seek thee out the truth with those virtues in Shirabad, and the future between both kingdoms will prosper….

*(After his line is finished, it echoed a bit. After that’s over, everyone became calmly concerned. Once back at the palace in Agrabah after they and the people returned to Agrabah, the heroes studied the Golden Scepter)*

Hook: So basically, there’s something not right regarding the war?

Itchy: Well, you heard the tiger head guardian, Hook.

*(Figment then turned into Sherlock Holmes and after inspecting the Golden Scepter even more, realized immediately)*

Figment: (Imitating Sherlock Holmes) And quite frankly, this Golden Scepter might be some kind of message directly to Pazu’s group and Stellaluna. And the only way to activate it….

*(He takes the ring from Stellaluna)*

Figment: Behold.

*(He then placed the ring into a ring-shaped keyhole on the Golden Scepter and it glowed, activated, amazing the heroes)*

Cynder: Figment, you never cease to amaze us.

Figment: (Imitating Sherlock Holmes) Thank you. And it’s elementary, my dear Cynder.

*(Then he changed back to normal. The Golden Scepter then conjured up a hologram of a familiar woman standing in front of them. They immediately recognized her)*

Itchy: Is that…?

Charlie and Sasha: Pocahontas….

*(Pocahontas nods to them. Then she speaks to Stellaluna)*

Pocahontas: I have just sensed what happened in Agrabah. And I apologize for what happened.

Stellaluna: So, you’re the daughter of Chief Powhatan?

Pocahontas: Yes. Yesterday, you are not the only one who sensed the siren-like voice. I’ve been hearing it too for some reason, yet neither of us don’t know why. But I do know, for a fact, that I, like the Cave of Wonders, beseech you and anybody close to you, to come to Shirabad and solve that mystery, with these six virtues….

*(Then she and Stellaluna said the virtues together)*

Stellaluna and Pocahontas: Loyal, Brave, True, Kind, Pure, and Love.

*(Then Stellaluna asked away)*

Stellaluna: But does that voice have something to do with why I was abandoned as a child?

Pocahontas: I sensed that it somehow does. But like I said, we don’t know why. I cannot give you anymore information about this until you come to Shirabad and consult with me in person at my village. Do you understand?

*(Stellaluna looked at the heroes, and they, except a calm suspicious Hook, nods in approval. Then Stellaluna answered)*

Stellaluna: I understand.

Pocahontas: (Smiles softly) I had a feeling you would.

*(Then she turned to Pazu’s group)*

Pazu: And your message to us?

Pocahontas: Do you recall the day your certain loved ones left you and never came home?

*(Realizing slowly, Pazu’s group answered)*

Pazu’s group: Yeah, our parents. Why?

Pocahontas: It is time that you partially know the truth, by figuring out this cryptic clue; Friends of old to Shirabad and Agrabah, left their home kingdom to solve the mystery of the war. I repeat; Friends of old to Shirabad and Agrabah, left their home kingdom to solve the mystery of the war. Can you figure it out?

*(Pazu’s group thought about it, and after thinking and thinking silently, realization calmly, and slowly, sank in upon them. Then they became shocked in realization, having the answer now)*

Pazu’s group: (Shocked) Our parents are alive still?!

Pocahontas: (Nods) That is correct. And they are currently in Shirabad as we speak. And the cloaked figures who helped you against your enemies earlier, they might have the answer to your parents’ whereabouts.

*(Then she slowly fades away)*

Pocahontas: As this message now ends, here is my recap; Stellaluna, you must seek out the source of the voice calling to both of us. And Pazu’s group, you must seek out the cloaked figures for help on finding your parents. Just as long as you hold the Virtues of Loyalty, Bravery, Truth, Kindness, Friendship, and Family.

*(Then she disappeared as the glow died down. Then with that done, Stellaluna removed the ring from the keyhole. Then they see Pazu’s group staring silently in somewhat of a calm shock)*

Sunset Shimmer: Are you okay?

*(Yoshi chirps in question out of concern. Then shock slowly and calmly turning into sadness, Pazu’s group, instead of answering, darted out of the palace to the streets of Agrabah)*

Heroes: Guys?!

*(They, except a confused Hook and Smee, run after them. Out in Agrabah as sunrise began to slowly arrive, Pazu’s group continued running in calm sadness, shaken by the fact on what they just learned from Pocahontas’ hologram in the Golden Scepter. Upon reaching their old home, they go inside. Arriving as well, the heroes panted from all the running, and they go inside as well. They soon find Pazu’s group sitting near the window in an upward fetal position with their faces buried in their arms and on their knees, appearing to be upset. Concerned, the heroes go up to them. And sure enough upon arriving up to them, they actually hear them crying silently)*

Sheeta’s group: Pazu? (Sharkboy?) (Ace?) (Snake?) (Arturo?) (Billy?) (Grubber?)

*(Hearing them, Pazu’s group slowly looked up, stopping their silent crying in the process, but still with their eyes filled with tears. Then they blinked their tears away and looked down sadly)*

Ace: (Sadly) How could they not tell us they were going to Shirabad that day?

Pazu: (Sadly) And why did they fool us into believing they were dead?

*(Feeling sorry for Pazu’s group, the heroes sat around, with Sheeta’s group and even Charlie, Sasha, and Itchy sitting next to them in comfort)*

Starlight: We may not know yet.

Sheeta: But I’m sure that they’ll have a logical explanation to why.

*(Pazu’s group looked at them and then felt down in the dumps)*

Billy: That’s very sweet of you to say that.

*(Grubber softly blew a sad raspberry in agreement)*

Arturo: But still, why didn’t they secretly come home like they promised us after pretending to be *muerte*, meaning “Dead?”

Adagio: Again, we don’t know.

Charlie: But I’m certain that you will find out in Shirabad.

Sharkboy: But what about our wedding and…? What if we never find what we want?

Lavagirl: You mustn’t be down.

Sonata: Lavagirl is right. I mean, didn’t you give up when you confessed to not being princes?

*(Pazu’s group shook their heads “No”)*

Sonata: Exactly.

Sheeta: And besides….

*(Then she and her group began singing)*

Sheeta: **You showed us the world**

**When we were all locked up inside**

Lavagirl: **You reached out your hands**

**And took us on a magic dragon ride**

Dazzlings: **One look at your smiles**

**And we could see the lights**

**Shining everywhere**

Sheeta’s group: **People like you**

**Don’t come out of thin air**

Charlie, Sasha, and Itchy: That’s right.

Pazu: Oh, guys….

*(Then he and his group sang as well)*

Pazu: **You don’t understand**

**There is so much that you don’t see**

Sharkboy: **Just think, if you can**

**What growing up had to be like for us**

Gangreen Gang: **Your parents are people**

**Who taught you who you are**

**Ours were never there**

Pazu’s group: **So how can you say**

**We don’t come out of thin air?**

*(They stand up)*

Pazu’s group: **There’s so much we want to know**

Sheeta’s group: **You’ve got the chance to learn**

Pazu’s group: **If it means we’d have to go**

Charlie and Sasha: **We’ll be right here when you all return**

*(Calmly surprised, Pazu and Sheeta’s groups and the heroes turned to Charlie and Sasha with little hope)*

Heroes: Really?

*(Charlie and Sasha nods and then they, Itchy, and Pazu and Sheeta’s groups sang together, slowly smiling softly in the process as the sun slowly rose up)*

Charlie: **Your wedding can wait**

Itchy: **You mean it?**

Sasha: (Nods) **I think it’s worth this small delay**

Pazu and Sheeta’s groups: **Maybe you’re right**

Sheeta’s group: (To Pazu’s group) **And won’t it be great**

**To have your parents see our wedding day?**

Pazu’s group: (Nods) **We’ve waited so long**

Itchy: **It isn’t too late**

Pazu’s group: **To learn the truth**

Pazu and Sheeta’s groups: **And now at last**

**We can finally say**

Sheeta’s group, Charlie, Sasha, and Itchy: **Your parents are really there**

Pazu’s group: **There’s so much that we might share**

Charlie, Sasha, and Itchy: **And you’ll finally learn**

Pazu and Sheeta’s groups, Charlie, Sasha, and Itchy: **(You) (We) don’t come out of thin air**

*(The song over, Pazu’s group is feeling better)*

Snake: Thanksssss, guyssssss.

*(The heroes nod a soft “You’re welcome” smile)*

Leatherhead: And jambalaya, if you fourteen are goin’, then ol’ Leatherhead shall assist in your quest, I guarantee.

*(He turned to the heroes)*

Leatherhead: What you say, by gumbo? You wanna brave Shirabad for the fate of the kingdoms?

*(Then after a short pause, to Pazu and Sheeta’s group and Leatherhead’s happiness, all the heroes, and even Itchy, came up to them with calm confident smiles as Stellaluna puts the ring on her right hand’s pinky)*

Heroes and Itchy: We’re in.

*(Figment then turned into a musketeer)*

Figment: All for one, and one for all!

*(Back at the palace later as the sun continued to rise, the heroes explained to Hook, Smee, and the pirate guards their decision, but we don’t hear what they say, and then we see the heroes proceed to pack up supplies for their new adventure. Outside nearby, Demidevimon has overheard everything and then flew off to go report to Swackhammer’s group and the Team Rocket Thieves)*

***Coming up: After departing from Agrabah and bidding Charlie, Sasha, and the people goodbye, the heroes’ journey in Shirabad officially begins upon arriving by flight, unaware that Swackhammer’s group and the Team Rocket Thieves have followed them secretly upon Demidevimon off-screen reporting to them of the adventure. Then after getting accidentally separated by some elemental attacks, the heroes soon reunite upon being ambushed by a certain air spirit, only for Stellaluna to, for some reason, tame him easily.***
