Laylamon's True Colors/Imprisoned

*(Later, after Dorothy and Davis' groups and Elsa reunited with their army and told them what just happened, they raced back to the castle. Upon their return, they disembarked from their horses and then Dorothy and Davis' groups found Laylamon approaching them with a hopeful look)*

Laylamon: Dorothy, guys!

*(Dorothy proudly presented the key to Laylamon)*

Dorothy: We got it!

Alice: And managed to escape the Fourth Realm again.

Laylamon: (Giving a victory pose) Yes, you clever girls!

*(Then she ushered Dorothy and Davis' groups to go with her to the Engine Room)*

Laylamon: Down, quick! Quickly!

*(Upon arrival at the Engine Room, Dorothy and Davis' groups, Laylamon, and even some of the soldiers gathered around as Laylamon approached the stand of the Engine's controls with the key in tow)*

Laylamon: Finally! How long I've waited for this moment!

*(Then she puts the key into the control's lock and unlocked it, opening and activating it)*

Laylamon: Wonderful!

*(Then she turned to one of the soldiers)*

Laylamon: Bring me the tin soldiers.

*(As soon as one of the soldiers pulled in a pulley cart carrying crates full of tin soldier toys, Dorothy and Davis' groups got confused along with the soldiers)*

Tink: Tin soldiers?

Davis: You can't use tin soldiers.

Laylamon: Well, of course I can. Don't be silly.

Arthur/Wart: But you have no idea how they'll behave if we give them life.

Peter: They are, after all, completely hollow.

Laylamon: (To Davis' group, reassuringly) They'll behave exactly as I tell them to. *(To Dorothy's group)* The perfect soldier. *(To one of the soldiers on top of the Engine's platform)* Put them on the platform. It is time to think big.

*(Giving dumbfounded looks at first, Dorothy's group approached Davis' group as Laylamon worked the Engine's controls)*

Veemon: Are you sure about this?

Dorothy: Well, she has to protect the realms.

Laylamon: (Nods in agreement while finishing the controls) Exactly.

*(One of the soldier then opened a crate and poured some tin soldiers out onto the top of the Engine's platform)*

Laylamon: Ready, steady, and go!

*(She pushes the control's button, and the Engine's cannon lowered itself onto the top of the platform and it fired a beam onto the tin soldiers, and upon impact, the beam made the tin soldiers grow into sizes of people and then they slowly sat up, now alive, but hollow)*

Laylamon: (Smiles confidently) Hello, boys!

*(Dorothy and Davis' groups and the rest of the soldiers became unsure upon seeing the tin soldiers awakened by the Engine, yet they see that the tin soldiers are completely different from the regular soldiers)*

Dorothy: They're huge!

Laylamon: I know. Isn't it magnificent?

*(Then Laylamon gave a command to the tin soldiers)*

Laylamon: Soldiers.... Attention!

*(The tin soldiers then stood up and monotonously stood in line like the soldiers they are)*

Laylamon: Report!

*(Then the tin soldiers marched down from the top of the Engine's platform towards everyone)*

Laylamon: Prepare to march on the Fourth Realm.

*(Dorothy and Davis' groups and the soldiers got confused upon hearing Laylamon give such a command)*

Dorothy: "March on the...?" Wait a minute.

Alice: Just a moment!

Wendy: I thought this army was to defend us.

Laylamon: Well, attack is the best form of defense, my dears.

Rarity: "Attack?!"

John: That can't be right.

Dorothy: Our mother wouldn't have wanted this.

Laylamon: (Becoming defensive) I don't care what your mother wanted. She's not here.

*(Shocked on what Laylamon just said in that tone, everyone else, except the tin soldiers, immediately snapped out of their shocked state and Dorothy proceeded to give an order to Laylamon)*

Dorothy: Then I order you to stop.

*(Dorothy's group's pets gave a brief animal noise in agreement. Then Laylamon gave a cruel smirk)*

Laylamon: (Giving a cruel smirk) You order me? *(Sarcastically)* Well, well, well. Finally ready to play queen, are we? *(Seriously)* Too late.

*(Then, to Dorothy and Davis' groups and the regular soldiers' shock and horror, a familiar dark portal appeared, and out came Rasputin's group and their army, including Mephiles in his true form still, with evil smirks)*

Dorothy and Davis' groups: Mephiles?

Mephiles: (Scoffs lightly with a mouthless evil smirk) You really think I'd be patsies with you?

Rasputin: Still want to play queen, Princesses?

*(Then Rasputin's group's army surrounded Dorothy and Davis' groups and the regular soldiers)*

Twilight Sparkle: (To Laylamon, in desperation) Laylamon, what is going on? Help us!

Laylamon: (Chuckles coldly a bit) Help you? Don't make me laugh. I only needed Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy to bring me *and* Rasputin the key, and now that the both of us have it, I have no more use of them and any of you.

*(Shocked and then slowly angry by this betrayal, especially coming from Laylamon, the heroes slowly realized what's really going on)*

Laylamon and Rasputin: (To the tin soldiers) Seize them!

*(Then the tin soldiers seized Dorothy's group while Davis' group attempted to pull their swords out)*

Davis' group: Hey!

Davis: Take your hands off of them!

*(Then Davis' group got seized by more tin soldiers as well while the regular soldiers got seized by Rasputin's group's army)*

Laylamon: Oh, they won't listen to you.

Rasputin: That's right. She gave them life....

Laylamon: So they'll only listen to me.

Rasputin: (Displays his reliquary) As well as me by my magic.

Mephiles: So, what do you think of that?

Davis' group: (To Laylamon and Mephiles) Laylamon and Mephiles, you traitors!

Dorothy: Why are you doing this to us?

Laylamon: (Becoming bitter and angry slowly) If you must know, your mother abandoned us. And then, she just expects us to carry on and play nice. Well, I don't want *and* like to play nice!

Rasputin: And then, deciding that we want what we wanted for our goals, we struck a deal, Laylamon and I....

Mephiles: We agreed that we could rule the Four Realms together.

Rasputin: If she marries me and scapegoat Hardscrabble's group into being the traitors of this kingdom.

Laylamon: So, guess the real truth behind the betrayal and the Fourth Realm.

*(Dorothy's group realized and got angry)*

Dorothy: Hardscrabble's group, not even Meg and the others on her side, didn't do anything wrong at all.

Wendy: And let us guess; You, Laylamon and Mephiles, covered your traitorous tracks, along with Rasputin's group's tracks, to gain power from the Four Realms.

John: While Hardscrabble's group was only trying to clear their names and help save us all.

Rarity: As well as have Meg's group go undercover for her for all of us.

Alice: And you had the audacity to lie to us.

Michael: To all of us.

Rasputin: That is correct!

Mephiles: (Chuckles evilly a bit) Very smart of you to figure it out that easily.

Peter: And what do you plan to do with the Four Realms?

Laylamon: Simple. Rasputin and I have a very special plan for Hardscrabble's group and the other regents and their assistants.

Rasputin: Watch.

*(Then Rasputin's group's army aimed their swords at one of the regular soldiers at blade point, making the soldier get nervous)*

Laylamon: Oh, guard. *(Points at the top of the Engine's platform)* Will you stand over there, please?

Mephiles: On the top of the platform?

*(The soldier refused, pulling his sword out)*

Soldier: Never!

Laylamon: Yes! Just right in the center.

Rocksteady: Or else....

*(Then he grabs the sword away from the soldier and breaks the blade like a toothpick without cutting himself. Terrified, the soldier immediately gave in and walked up to the top of the Engine's platform. Then Laylamon pulled the lever on the controls and then the cannon fired its beam onto the soldier, turning him back to his small lifeless toy form. The heroes were shocked and horrified at what they saw)*

Laylamon: You see, there's a funny little perk to your mother's invention.

Rasputin: It works both ways.

Dorothy: You, along with Rasputin, are horrible, Laylamon.

Laylamon: (Aghast with Rasputin, then angrily along with him) How dare you speak to your queen that way?!

Rasputin: (Angrily) As well as your king?!

Laylamon and Rasputin: (To the tin soldiers) Guards!

*(The tin soldiers saluted)*

Laylamon: (Eyes Dorothy and Davis's groups and the regular soldiers) Lock them up.

Rasputin: Along with the regents and their assistants.

*(Then the tin soldiers forced Dorothy and Davis' groups, who struggled against their grips, towards the direction of the dungeon. Nearby, unseen by everyone, Pikachu, Meowth, and Meowzie saw the whole thing and got determined that they scampered off secretly to the sewers. Back at the Engine's controls, Laylamon and Rasputin gave evil smirks of victory as Laylamon pushed the control's button again after more lifeless tin soldiers were placed onto the top of the Engine's platform. Above the castle's tower, the tin soldiers dragged Dorothy and Davis' groups to the dungeon door and, upon opening it, threw them in the dungeon, complete with a spiral staircase leading to the main room and balcony. Then the tin soldiers closed the door, locked it, and left. After walking up the stairs, Dorothy and Davis' groups then checked the tower's balcony and rooftop for a way down, but to no luck, they couldn't find anything to get out and down)*

Veemon: There's obviously no way to escape.

*(Then they heard the door unlocking and then more voices. It was Goofy and Jack's groups, Elsa included, being forced into the dungeon by the tin soldiers)*

Donald: Get your hands off of us!

Jack: Hands off!

Goofy: Don't touch me!

Elsa: How dare you?!

*(Then the tin soldiers closed and locked the door again and then left)*

Clarabelle: I swear, we've never been treated like this in all my life.

Angelique: You're telling me.

*(Then Dorothy and Davis' groups re-entered the dungeon while Goofy and Jack's groups walked up the stairs. Then they met up with each other upon seeing each other)*

Mickey: Oh, my gosh!

Angelique: Alas, you're here as well, my dears.

Goofy: What's happening here?

Donald: What's Laylamon doing that for?

Minnie: Why are we locked up here?

*(Later, all was explained)*

Mickey: Unbelievable!

Elsa: So, Laylamon and Mephiles were the real traitors all along and Hardscrabble's group, along with Meg and the others with them, were trying to help save us all.

Jack: As well as clear their names.

Alice: And it's all our fault.

Dorothy: We've let you all down.

Wendy: And we should've listened to Hardscrabble and Meg's groups.

Daisy: No, no, no, it's not.

Arthur/Wart: Girls, that's not true.

Peter: Laylamon and Mephiles lied to us.

Davis: And betrayed us, joining Rasputin's group and their army.

Dorothy: Yet I gave Laylamon the key.

Wendy: And now she, along with Mephiles and Rasputin's group, is going to use the key to destroy the Realms.

Alice: And everything that our mother loved.

Tink: Girls, listen....

Wendy: No, it's too much to bear now.

Alice: We ruined everything in this world.

Dorothy: And like we said, it's our fault.

*(But Angelique interrupts her)*

Angelique: True, you did mess up....

*(Then, someone climbed up the balcony to the dungeon, getting everyone's attention. It was Megara and Hercules)*

Everyone: Meg, Herc!

*(Then Megara and Hercules approached, panting a bit)*

Megara: (Panting a bit) Hold on, we need to catch our breath.

*(Once composed, Megara and Hercules resumed the subject)*

Hercules: Anyway, we were able to luckily sneak in here.

Megara: But the tricky part is we can't get down the way we came in.

*(Everyone else groaned a bit in disappointment)*

Donald: Great.

*(Dorothy sighs)*

Dorothy: If only Mother were here to....

*(Angelique and Megara interrupted her)*

Megara: Look, we're sorry for our loss, as well as your loss, but she's not here physically.

Angelique: She is here with us mentally.

Hercules: Just remember how you taught us that Christmas is the Season of Hope?

Dorothy's group: Yes.

Hercules: Well, there could be hope still.

Alice: How?

Angelique: Just by believing, that's what.

(Then she and Megara sang)

Angelique: **When we felt lost**

**And lonely**

Megara: **Not a dream in our heads**

**Your earlier words lifted our spirits high**

Megara and Angelique: **Remember what you said**

**As long as there's Christmas**

**I truly believe**

*(Everyone else soon began to smile softly, their worries died down. Then Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy, feeling better, joined in the singing)*

Dorothy, Alice, Wendy, Megara, and Angelique: **That hope is**

**The greatest of the gifts we'll receive**

*(Then the five girls held hands gently)*

Dorothy, Alice, Wendy, Megara, and Angelique: **As long as**

**(As long as)**

**Our guiding star shines above**

*(They let go of each other)*

Megara and Angelique: **There'll always be Christmas**

Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy: **So there'll always will be a time**

**When the world is filled with peace**

**And love**

*(The song over, everyone else felt better, regardless of their situation they're in now)*

***Coming up: After Dorothy's group realize the true meaning of Mary's last message to Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy in their music box, the heroes manage to find a way to escape the dungeon and plan an attack against the enemy to take back the Four Realms. Then they will end up teaming up with Pikachu's group and even Michael D'Amico's group and Fat Tony's gang into getting Hardscrabble's group's help and get to the Engine to stop the upcoming invasion on the Fourth Realm.***
