Leaving Launchpad in the Doctor's Care/Steelbeak Escorts Darkwing and the Rescuers

*(Later, in an abandoned doctor's jeep, Launchpad was being lowered inside the operation room by a series of ropes, gears, and female nurse Pichus)*

Nurse Pichus: (Pulling on the ropes that we’re holding Launchpad) Heave! Ho! Heave! Ho!

Launchpad: (Panicking) Hey, what are you doing?! Hey, what-what's going on?! Wait! Hey, wait a minute! Just stop everything!

Darkwing: LP, don't worry! The rescuers will come back the moment they find the boy.

Launchpad: (Begging of the nurse Pichus to stop) Wait! Hey! Wait a minute! Don't leave me here, please! I'm feeling much better now. I'm even ready to hit the beaches. *(Laughs)* I'm even ready to mambo!

*(He hummed and wiggled against the restraints as he tried to dance the mambo, but ended up hurting his back even more. Cosmo looked at a male doctor Pikachu)*

Cosmo: Doctor, will he be alright?

Doctor Pikachu: Now, now, my dear, keep a stiff upper lip. They all come in with a whimper, and leave with a grin! *(Shooing the rescuers away)* Off with you now. Leave everything to me. Shoo, shoo, off you go.

*(As soon as the Mobians, the humans, the Fearsome Four, Widget, and the Mane Seven left, he turned to the nurse Pichus)*

Doctor Pikachu: Hop to it, ladies, we've got a bent duck on our tails. Move, move, move, bustle, bustle, bustle. That's it…! Aha!

Launchpad: (Nervously) Will it-Will it hurt, doc?

Doctor Pikachu: Dear McQuack, you won't feel a thing.

*(He turned to the nurse Pichus)*

Doctor Pikachu: Launch the back brace.

*(The nurse Pichus prepared to launch the back brace)*

Launchpad: (Panicking) Hey! Hey wait! Wait!

*(But the nurse Pichus fired the back brace into Launchpad, who groaned in pain)*

Launchpad: Whoa! I've been skewered!

Doctor Pikachu: (Crossly and sternly) I've already missed tea, Mr. McQuack, now don't force me to take drastic measures. You must relax.

Launchpad: (Indignantly) Relax?! I've never been more relaxed in my life! If I were any more relaxed, I'd be dead!

Doctor Pikachu: I'm not convinced.

*(He turned to the nurse Pichus)*

Doctor Pikachu: Sixty milligrams.

Nurse Pichu 1: Sixty milligrams.

*(She and another nurse Pichu loaded a needle full of liquid into a shotgun. Launchpad began to get scared)*

Launchpad: (Scared) Hey! What?! Are-Are you guys crazy?! You can't do that to me! *(Angrily)* I'm an American citizen, buddy!

Doctor Pikachu: Better double it!

Launchpad: (Anxiously) DOUBLE?!

Nurse Pichu 2: Double coming up!

*(She and the same first nurse Pichu loaded another needle full of liquid into the shotgun)*

Launchpad: (Voice-over, scared) Nooo!

Doctor Pikachu: Prepare the duck for medication.

Launchpad: (Scared) Oh, I'm dreaming! I'm dreaming! Come on, LP, wake up, man, wake up!

*(Doctor Pikachu gave directions to aim the shotgun)*

Doctor Pikachu: Three degrees right.

Launchpad: (Scared) Come on!

*(The first nurse Pichu aimed the shotgun at three degrees)*

Nurse Pichu 2: Three degrees right.

Launchpad: (Scared) Come on, it's a joke, it's a joke!

Doctor Pikachu: Down two degrees.

Launchpad: (Scared) Oh no, don't go down two degrees!

*(The first nurse Pichu pointed the gun to two degrees)*

Nurse Pichu 1: Down two degrees.

Doctor Pikachu: Ready!

Launchpad: (Scared) No! I'm not ready! *(Kicking and screaming)* No, please!

Doctor Pikachu: Aim!

Launchpad: (Crying) Please don't do this to me!

Doctor Pikachu: Fire!

*(At last, the first nurse Pichu fired the gun at Launchpad, who screamed in pain. Outside the hospital, the rescuers were looking at a map)*

Shaggy: Now we just gotta figure out, like, how to get there.

Steelbeak: So, ah…? Are you and your umm…? Husbands here on a little desert excursion?

Rainbow Dash: Oh no, no. We're not married.

Bushroot: In fact, we're-we're here on a-a top, ah…. Secret mission. Very-Very hush, hush.

Darkwing: Oh! Gotta rescue that boy Eggman captured, huh?

Sci-Twi: Why, that's right!

Pinkie Pie: How did you know?

*(Steelbeak and Darkwing bumped the boy rescuers out of the way and got close to the girl rescuers)*

Steelbeak: You'll find it's tough to keep secrets in the desert, ladies.

*(Darkwing looked at the map)*

Darkwing: So, ah…? Which way are you taking? Suicide Trail through Nightmare Canyon, or the shortcut through Hydra’s Ridge?

Liquidator: (Fearfully) Su-Suicide trail?

Steelbeak: Good choice! More snakes, less quicksand. Then once you cross Bloodworm creek, you're scot free. That is until, ummm…. *(Whispers)* Dead dingo pass.

Tails: (Puzzled) Wait-Wait-Wait a minute, I don't….I don't see any-any of that-that stuff on the map!

Darkwing: (Folding the map) A map's no good in the dessert. What you need is somebody who knows the territory.

Cosmo: Oh, Mr. Steelbeak, will you guide Darkwing and us?

Steelbeak: (Smiling) At your service! Here, better follow us, it's gonna be a treacherous hike.

*(As they began to tell a story while they began walking, Quackerjack looked at the crooked map)*

Quackerjack: (Muttering under his breath) Don't even know how to fold a map.

*(At Crocodile Falls, the rangers were hard at work searching for Ventus. At the same time, Steelbeak, Darkwing, and the rescuers, except Megavolt, were riding on a flying squirrel's back as they flew)*

Steelbeak: This is how we get around in Australia, folks.

Darkwing: Don't you agree, Megavolt?

Megavolt: (Running on the bumpy log while holding on to the flying squirrel's tail) Ah, yeah, yeah, it's just a little bumpy back here!

*(As the animal prepared to land, Steelbeak and Darkwing winked at Widget and the Mane Seven)*

Darkwing: Cinch up your seatbelts, mates, we're coming in for a landing!

*(Megavolt got a little jealous of Steelbeak when he winked at Widget, but as they became close to landing on the ground, he began to panic)*

Megavolt: (Panicking) Hold it, not-not yet!!

*(They landed, and he screamed as he fell into a patch of briars. At Eggman’s hideout, Ventus was sitting on a separate chair, completely tied up in front of a huge map hanging on the wall as Eggman sharpened a knife)*

Eggman: Well, little boy, let's see if we can do something to refresh that rusty old memory of yours. Are they on Satan's Ridge?

*(He threw the knife at the map where Satan's Ridge is)*

Eggman: (Voice-over) Or Nightmare Canyon?

*(He threw the knife at the map where Nightmare Canyon is, and he looked at Mephiles and the Badniks)*

Eggman: What do you think, boys?

*(The Badniks just smiled as they relaxed in their bathtubs with warm water that doesn’t rust them while eating some animal crackers fit for robots. Mephiles, on the other hand, answered in agreement)*

Mephiles: Nightmare Canyon’s always my favorite spot.

Coconuts: (Scoffs) Oh, please!

Scratch: It’s always your favorite.

Eggman: Yeah, that's it! Right smack dab in the middle at…! *(Voice-over)* Crocodile Falls!

*(He threw a knife at the map where Crocodile Falls is as Ventus ducked)*

Eggman: Am I getting warm?

Ventus: I told you, I don't remember!

Eggman: (Darkly) Don't you realize two dragons those sizes are worth a fortune?! *(He got in Ventus’ face)* I'll split the bits with you fifty-fifty. You can't get a better offer than that, boy!

*(Ventus glared at Eggman)*

Ventus: (Defiantly) You won't have any bits after the rangers get through with you!

*(Eggman growled in anger, and he kicked a kettle of water in the fire, putting it out and scaring the Badniks, and then they glared when Mephiles snickered at them)*

Mephiles: (Chuckling cruelly) Scared the daylights out of you.

Scratch: (Flatly) Very funny!

Grounder: (Flatly) Not funny to us!

Coconuts: (Flatly) You tell him, guys!

*(Meanwhile, in the forest, Darkwing and the rescuers were removing the burrs from Megavolt’s body and clothes)*

Megavolt: (Voice-over) Steelbeak’s been gone…. Ow! Been gone a long time.

Darkwing: (About to remove the last burr from Megavolt’s body) Hold still!

Megavolt: Maybe we should go…. Oh! Maybe we should go look for him.

Darkwing: (Throwing the last burr in the water) There! All done!

Sadie: Oh, don't you worry about Steelbeak.

Sonic: He can handle himself.

*(As they finished removing the burrs from Megavolt's body and clothes, they sat down, with Sally, Cosmo, and Amy taking off their shoes and Cosmo starts rolling the pant legs up to her knees)*

Quackerjack: Yeah, I-I noticed.

*(Sally, Cosmo, and Amy dunked their feet in the water)*

Cosmo: (Lifting her wet right foot out) I am just sure he'll be back in no time.

*(Then the Fearsome Four, Rainbow Dash, Sci-Twi, Widget, and Pinkie Pie turned to each other)*

Bushroot: So, Rainbow Dash, is it just me or does Jack seem to make you…?

Liquidator: (Finishing his sentence) Well, do you like him than…?

*(Rainbow Dash and Sci-Twi, realizing what they were talking about, just smiled softly)*

Rainbow Dash: Actually, no.

Sci-Twi: He's just a friend.

Megavolt: (Calmly relieved) Well, it's just that….

Widget: Yes?

*(Then the Fearsome Four began to sing)*

Bushroot: **I never had this feeling before**

**She gives me shakes and shivers**

**I can't ignore**

Liquidator: **And I see that there's more now**

**Than just running free**

*(Rainbow Dash, Sci-Twi, Widget, and Pinkie Pie took their turn)*

Rainbow Dash: **I never felt my heart beat so fast**

**I'm thinking of him first and of myself last**

Sci-Twi: **And how happy**

**I want him to be**

Quackerjack: **It's amazing**

**Someone in my life**

**Just might be loving me**

**I didn't know that I could feel this way**

Pinkie Pie: **It's so crazy**

**Something in my life**

**Is better than a dream**

**I didn't know that I could feel this way**

Megavolt: **She makes me warm and happy inside**

Widget: **He smiles and I get dizzy and starry-eyed**

Couples: **All these feelings I have**

**Have me asking**

Female Couples: **Can this be love?**

Male Couples: **Can this be love?**

Female Couples: **It's crazy**

Couples: **I can hardly speak**

**Whenever he (She) says, “Hi”**

Female Couples: **I didn't know that I could feel**

Male Couples: **I never dreamed that I could feel**

Female Couples: **I**

Couples: **Didn't know that I could feel this**

**Way**

*(When the song was over, the Fearsome Four checked their bags to make sure that the rings were still in there. He looked at Rainbow Dash, Sci-Twi, Widget, and Pinkie Pie)*

Quackerjack: Now that we're alone, the-there's something that we’ve…. We've been wanting to, uh…. T-To ask you ladies.

Pinkie Pie: Yes? What is it?

*(The Fearsome Four walked over to Rainbow Dash, Sci-Twi, Widget, and Pinkie Pie, and each one got down on one knee and took their respective hand and hooves in their own hands)*

Bushroot: Ladies, my-my friends and I would be…. Most honored if…. If….

*(He was suddenly interrupted when Steelbeak bursted through the bushes while wrestling a male Indian rock python named Kaa)*

Steelbeak: (Shoving the rescuers aside) LOOK OUT!!

*(The Fearsome Four landed in the water, and Cosmo rolled her pant legs back down as she, Sally, and Amy placed their shoes back on)*

Steelbeak: No Mobians, humans, mutant animals, rabbits, or ponies for you, Kaa! Not today!

*(He lassoed Kaa’s nose and mouth shut)*

Steelbeak: There!

Bushroot: Rainbow Dash!

Liquidator: Sci-Twi!

Megavolt: Widget!

Quackerjack: Pinkie Pie!

*(The said four were about to be attacked, but Steelbeak stopped Kaa)*

Steelbeak: (Angrily) I’ve been looking all over for you!

*(Then he proceeded to scold Kaa)*

Steelbeak: (Angrily) Now, look, we got a long way to go! You're gonna take us there! And you're not gonna give us any trouble about it! Right?

*(Kaa shook his head no as the rescuers got on his back. Steelbeak smiled)*

Steelbeak: (Smiling) He’s perfectly harmless once you look at him in the eye, and show him who's boss. *(To Kaa)* Ain't that right, Kaa?

*(Kaa nodded as Steelbeak smacked him)*

Steelbeak: Good. Now, get!

(As they started moving, Widget and the Mane Seven looked at the Fearsome Four)

Rarity: It's all right, darlings.

Applejack: Steelbeak has gotten everything under control.

Megavolt: (Feeling dejected) Yeah, I noticed.

*(As Steelbeak and Darkwing began telling the rescuers, except the Fearsome Four, a story, the Fearsome Four looked at the rings, dumped the water out of their cases, closed the lid, and sighed sadly because they thought that Rainbow Dash, Sci-Twi, Widget, and Pinkie Pie would never want to marry them. Back at Eggman’s hideout, Eggman threw Ventus (Untied now) into a nearby cage and locked it)*

Eggman: I'll give you a night down here to think it over. But tomorrow, no more Mr. Nice Guy!

*(He walked out the door, and slammed it, but Coconuts screamed in pain when his tail got caught in the door. He pulled his tail out)*

Eggman: (Voice-over) Coconuts! You thick-headed chunk of fish-bait!

*(Ventus ran to the cage door)*

Ventus: I’ll never tell you where they are! Never! Never!

*(Just then, a small Chinese dragon, a peg-legged bat, and a cricket popped up from a small pile of hay. The Chinese dragon has red scales and a yellow underbelly, dark red claws, dark red stubby spikes on his back, and yellow whiskers, blue tiny horns, and a long tail. He is Mushu. The peg-legged bat is short bat with brown fur, a somewhat crippled left wing, yellow eyes, red eyebags around the eyes, and wearing a purple turtleneck tanktop, a violet and light violet scarf around his neck, black pants, a gray shoe on his left foot, a brown wooden peg leg in place of his right foot, and sometimes wore a black newsboy cap. He is Fidget. And the cricket is a small, slender cricket with purple skin, a lavender face, a blue belly, a navy blue shell that can be used as wings, and black antennae and legs. He is Cri-Kee, Mushu and Fidget’s friend. Mushu and Fidget went up to the cage and started imitating Ventus as Cri-Kee hopped to the cage and chirped angrily, yet in agreement with Ventus, Mushu, and Fidget)*

Mushu: (Imitating Ventus) Yeah, we’ll never tell!

Fidget: (Imitating Ventus) You'll have to drag it out of us!

*(They stopped pounding their fists and wings on the cage and stopped chirping respectively and turned to Ventus when he spoke to them)*

Ventus: Hey, where did you come from?

Mushu: Um…? One of the Chinese lanterns in a pagoda?

Fidget: I came from the sewer in London, England.

Male Voice: Well, well, well, fancy that!

*(The voice belonged to a male anthro duck with black feathers, an orange beak, legs, and webbed feet, and wearing a white collar around his neck. He is Daffy Duck. With him were an anthro rooster, a male anthro coyote, a male anthro skunk, a female anthro cat, a male anthro mouse, and two anthro rabbits, one male and one female. The anthro rooster has white feathers, a yellow beak with a red feathery goatee, yellow feet, a red crest on top of his head, and red tail feathers. He is Foghorn Leghorn. The male anthro coyote has brown fur, a cream underbelly and muzzle, a black nose, and yellow eyes. He is Wile E. Coyote. The male anthro skunk has black fur with a white stripe on his back, a big, bushy tail, a white muzzle and underbelly, a black nose, and a French accent. He is Pepe Le Pew. The female anthro cat has black fur with a white stripe on her back, a big, bushy tail, a white muzzle and underbelly, a black nose, black whiskers, and long, black eyelashes. She is Penelope Pussycat, Pepe's girlfriend. The male anthro mouse has brown fur, rounded ears with pink interiors, black eyes, a black nose, black whiskers, three black hair strands, a Mexican accent, and wearing a yellow sombrero, a red neckerchief, a white long-sleeved shirt, and white pants. He is Speedy Gonzales. The male anthro rabbit has gray fur, long ears with pink interiors, a white muzzle, underbelly, toes, and bottom tail, a pink nose, a long white bucktooth, black whiskers, and wearing white gloves. He is Bugs Bunny. And the female anthro rabbit has white/peach fur, a white muzzle, underbelly, toes, and bottom tail, a pink nose, a long white bucktooth, black whiskers, short blonde hair, and blue eyes, and wearing white gloves, a purple scrunchie holding her long ears (With pink interiors) like a ponytail, a light yellow cropped tanktop, and purple shorts. She is Lola Bunny, Bugs' girlfriend)*

Daffy: Looks like Eggman has begun trapping his own kind! There's no hope for any of us now.

Mushu: (Sadly) No hope?

Fidget: (Sadly) No hope? (Sobbing) No!

*(Even Cri-Kee whimpered in sadness)*

Ventus: But there must be a way out of here!

Daffy: Oh, there's a way out all right.

Ventus and the animals: There is?

Pepe: (Cockily) *Naturellement!* *(Looks Foghorn and Daffy)* You'll go as wallets.

Daffy: (Retortedly) Really?

Foghorn: But I’m a rooster! *(Fearfully)* I don’t want to be a wallet!

Pepe: (To Bugs and Lola) You’ll go as belts. *(Looks at Mushu, Fidget, and Cri-Kee)* And *notres chéries* Mushu, Fidget, and Cri-Kee…,

Mushu: (As he and Fidget covered their ears while Cri-Kee hid his face) No, no, no, we don't wanna hear it!

Pepe: Mushu, Fidget, and Cri-Kee will go as…!

Fidget: (Voice-over) We can't hear you!

*(And he began to sing a nonsense version of the Australian national anthem. Soon, he and Mushu unplugged their ears as Cri-Kee uncovered his face)*

Pepe: *Les sacs à main!* As in, “purses!”

*(Fidget began to cry as Mushu sighed in defeat, and Cri-Kee played the sad trombone tune by rubbing his wings together)*

Fidget: (Wailing) No!

Pepe: (Smiling) Ooo…! A lovely lady's purses!

Fidget: (Sobbing) We don't want to go as purses!

Mushu: (Begging of Ventus to spare his life, along with Fidget and Cri-Kee’s) Please, please, don't let them do it!

Ventus: Don't worry, we're gonna get out of here!

Mushu and Fidget: (Excitedly) We are?

Ventus: Yeah. If we all put our heads together, I'm sure we'll think of something.

Mushu: (Tries thinking of a plan) Yeah, something, something.

Fidget: Mushu, what's wrong?

Wile: (Rolling his eyes) Oh, there he goes again!

Foghorn: Take, I say, take it easy, mate.

Speedy: You don't want to hurt yourself again, *¿verdad?* *(To us readers)* And I thought *Señor* Daffy’s temper *fuera muy malo.*

Daffy: (Insulted) WHAT?!

Lola: (Calming the black duck) Easy there, Daffy.

*(Then Mushu thought of an idea)*

Mushu: I got it! All we gotta do is get the keys!

Bugs: (Voice-over, sarcastically) Ohhh, is that all? Well, then, we better start packing our bags.

Ventus: No, he's right!

*(He tried to get some long pieces of wood)*

Ventus: (Straining to reach the wood) If I could get these long pieces of wood…,

Mushu: Wood, yeah, wood, wood, wood, yeah good!

*(Even Cri-Kee chirped in agreement)*

Ventus: (Voice-over, still straining to reach the wood) Maybe I could….

*(Luckily, a bird in a "tire cage" helped knock the wood so Ventus could reach it)*

Ventus: (Voice-over, still straining to reach the wood) That's right, just a little more…!

*(At last, the wood fell in his right hand)*

Ventus: (Voice-over) There! *(Voice-over, to the other animals)* Come on, everybody! Get some more stuff!

Foghorn: The kid’s right.

Wile: What are we waiting for?

Bugs: Jail break!

Ventus: (Voice-over) That's it! You've got it! *(Cut to him; He is now holding the planks of wood in both hands)* Hurry! We need something to tie it together!

Fidget: Hey, hey, hey, whaddya got, whaddya got, whaddya got?

*(He got whopped with a shoe as Mushu and Cri-Kee laughed at him)*

Fidget: (Mumbling through the shoe) Shoelaces! Oh.

*(It took a while, but with the pieces of wood, a hook, and some rope, they built a pole long enough to reach the keys)*

Ventus: (Struggling) Almost…! A little further!

Mushu: (Excitedly, with Cri-Kee chirping in excitement) Yeah, yeah, yeah!

*(But Daffy moaned when the pole didn't reach the keys)*

Ventus: It's okay. Let's try again.

Fidget: (Excitedly) Yeah, yeah…, *(Voice-over)* Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Ventus: (Voice-over, struggling) Easy…! Easy does it!

Fidget: (Excitedly) Yeah, no, no, no, yeah, no, yeah, yeah!

Daffy: (Straining) Somebody shut them up!!

*(Finally, they got the keys on the hook, and they dangled right in front of the door)*

Ventus: (Voice-over) We did it!

Mushu: (Voice-over) You've got it!

Fidget: (Voice-over) You've got it! You've got it!

*(And Cri-Kee cheeringly chirped. Suddenly, Mephiles and the Badniks barged in on them, having heard the commotion)*

Coconuts: (Sneeringly) Think of escaping, eh?

*(Scratch and Grounder destroyed the pole)*

Scratch: Well, too bad!

Grounder: So sad!

*(Then Coconuts placed the keys on the hook and, with Mephiles, Scratch, and Grounder, left the room)*

Mephiles: Enjoy your permanent stay!

*(Then Mushu thought of another idea)*

Mushu: I've got it! I'll just take my tail, and pick the lock like this!

Daffy: Oh, brother!

Foghorn: (Wearily) Aww, Mushu, Fidget.

Lola: (Wearily) Give it a rest.

Fidget: No, no, no! You'll thank us when you're free.

Mushu: (Showing this to Cri-kee) Look, look, look, I just insert my tail, like this, and I turn it like this, just a quarter turn to the left, and then push it a little bit further.

*(The prisoners, except Cri-kee, just stayed silent as they had already lost hope. Later that night, the rescuers, Darkwing, and Steelbeak were riding on the fireflies across the field)*

Darkwing: Ha, ha! Show him who's boss, Megavolt!

*(Megavolt was having trouble with his firefly, and he flew into a dandelion. He attempted to sneeze, but he went underwater instead. Then he emerged and they resumed their flight. The next morning in the military hospital vehicle, Launchpad groaned as he woke up)*

Launchpad: (Groaning) Ugh! I feel like I got my head in a vice!

*(When he saw that he actually had his head in a vice, he groaned in exasperation)*

Doctor Pikachu: Are we ready, nurse?

Nurse Pichu 3: Ready, Doctor!

Doctor Pikachu: Alright, ladies, snap to it!

*(He put on blue doctor gloves, and he hurt himself a little)*

Doctor Pikachu: Ooo, that smarts!

*(He looked at the X-ray)*

Doctor Pikachu: Ah, let me see here. Forceps!

Nurse Pichu 3: Forceps!

Launchpad: Oh, no! What now?

*(The heart montior began to beep at a very fast pace)*

Doctor Pikachu: Spinal stretch-u-lator.

Launchpad: (Fearfully) Oh! That's gonna hurt!

Doctor Pikachu: Artery router.

Launchpad: Mother!

*(Doctor Pikachu discovered that the tool was rusty)*

Doctor Pikachu: This is rusted tight. I wouldn't dream of using such a tool. Bring me the epidermal tissue disrupter!

*(The tool the Pichu nurses brought out actually turned out to be a chainsaw)*

Launchpad: The epidermal what?!

*(When he saw the chainsaw, he screamed)*

Launchpad: (Screaming) NO!

*(He broke free of his bonds and started running as the alarm went off, and the sign that said "Patient Escaping" started flashing red. Doctor Pikachu and the Pichu nurses chased after him)*

Doctor Pikachu: Mr. McQuack, we haven't operated yet!

Launchpad: You gotta catch me first, doc!

Doctor Pikachu: Mr. McQuack, please!

Launchpad: Cowabunga!

*(Launchpad jumped out of the way of the Pichu nurses)*

Doctor Pikachu: Mr. McQuack, we must return you to the operating room!

*(Launchpad attempted to climb out the window)*

Launchpad: You'll never take me alive!

*(But Doctor Pikachu and the Pichu nurses quickly grabbed Launchpad and started pulling him back in)*

Doctor Pikachu: Please don't do this! Your spine needs tender…! Loving…! Care!

*(Suddenly, they all fell and crashed into the back of the truck. Launchpad recovered as he stood up)*

Launchpad: (Groaning) Oh! Ugh!

*(Then he discovered that he no longer felt any pain in his back)*

Launchpad: Oh.... Oh, my.... My back! Hey, hey.... I can, I, it works! I'm cured!

*(Doctor Pikachu groaned in horrible pain)*

Doctor Pikachu: (Groaning) My back!

*(Launchpad then bursted out the back door as he and Darkwing got inside the helicopter)*

Launchpad: Don't worry, we’re coming, you little Mobians, humans, mutant animals, rabbit, and ponies.... This is the finest fleet on two webbed feet! Oh, boy, I gotta, I gotta go on a diet when I get home.

Darkwing: Here we go!

*(He, with Darkwing, then took off into the sky in his helicopter to search for Sonic and Sally’s groups, the Fearsome Four, Widget, and the Mane Seven. At Ventus’ house, Ventus’ parents heard a knock on the door and opened it to see who it was. It was the rangers, and they were not looking very happy. One of the rangers gave Ventus’ parents their son's ruined backpack, and tears started running down Ventus’ mother’s face as her husband comforted her)*

Voice on the Radio: (Voice-over) Those particular areas. In other news, authorities in Mugwomp Flats have called off the search for the missing boy. His backpack was found near Crocodile Falls, and local rangers believe he was yet another victim of a crocodile attack. Authorities once again warn residents to use extreme caution when they are….

*(In Eggman's hideout, Eggman laughed while listening to the radio as he smirked)*

Eggman: Think you're pretty smart, don't you eh? Who outsmarted who? Who? Who outsmarted who, eh? I still gotta get that boy to talking, huh?

*(Suddenly, a thought hit him as his stomach growled)*

Eggman: I'm hungry. Can't think on an empty stomach. Gotta have protein. Gotta have eggs!

*(Mephiles then perked up at the word "Eggs" while Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts saw him walk up quietly. Eggman got up from his seat and started walking to the kitchen as Mephiles and the Badniks followed him. As they entered the kitchen, Eggman walked over to the fridge, opened it, got out the eggs, closed the fridge door, and placed the eggs on the counter)*

Eggman: Everyone's got his price. All I gotta do is offer him whatever he wants, and then not give it to him.

*(While he wasn't looking, Mephiles opened the carton, placed one of the eggs in his mouth, and hid from sight when Eggman moved the carton away from the dark crystal hedgehog. This action repeated a few times until Eggman looked at Mephiles)*

Eggman: Did you take one of my eggs?

Mephiles: (Shakes his head) Nope, but *they* did.

Badniks: (Shocked) What?!

Eggman: Give me the eggs.

Coconuts: We don't have any.

*(Mephiles pulled some eggs out of Scratch's bag)*

Eggman: These are not *your* eggs!

Badniks: But…!

*(Eggman snatched the eggs and placed them in the carton. Then Eggman resumed his thinking)*

Eggman: Let's see, um…. That boy's have got the dragons…. I want the dragons.... The boy won't give me the dragons.... If I could just find the boy's weak spot, I could get him to tell me where the dragons are. But the boy’s only got ONE weak spot, and that IS the dragons! Maybe if I stick him in a giant anthill, that would loosen his tongue, and then…. I got it!

*(He then caught Scratch trying to steal one of the eggs, when in actuality, Mephiles placed the egg there secretly and blamed Scratch for it)*

Eggman: Got your hand caught in the cookie jar, didn't you? Eh?

Scratch: B-B-But…!

Eggman: (Angrily) Who do you think you're messing with, you dumb robot?!

Scratch: Grounder, Coconuts, and I are telling you, we…!

*(Eggman angrily shoved him, Grounder, and Coconuts down on the floor in anger)*

Eggman: My mental facilities are twice what yours are, you peabrain!

*(He opened the carton, only to find that all of the eggs were gone. Mephiles then pointed accusingly at the Badniks)*

Mephiles: They ate them!

*(Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts, now scared senseless over being framed, tried to crawl off and hide from sight in fear as Eggman started to get angry, approaching the three, along with Mephiles)*

Eggman: Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts…. I’d give you money, fish eggs, bird eggs! Why, I'll even give you *and* Pitch dragon eggs, but I want you to stay away from my…!

*(He stopped talking when an idea hit him)*

Eggman: The dragons' eggs! That's it! That's the boy's weak spot!

Badniks: (Confused) Weak spot?

*(Mephiles gave a flat glare at Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts, as if saying "Figure it out." Realizing, the three Badniks got it)*

Badniks: (Realizing) Oh, right….

Eggman: We'll just have to…. Let that boy go.

*(Getting the plan, Mephiles smirked evilly back)*

Mephiles: Over…. His dear friends' eggs.

*(He and Eggman chuckled evilly as the three Badniks shrugged and got up)*
