Season 1 Episode 2: Mad Tiki Science Part 2

Ash: (Voice-over) Previously on “Ashladdin the Series….”

Dingodile: (Pretending to be impressed) For us?

Tiny: (Pretending to be impressed) You shouldn’t have, *(Sneeringly)* Bosses.

Ash: (Voice-over) Kit Cloudkicker, Tiny Tiger, and Dingodile stole back a scepter called the Tiki Scepter and its treasure from the clutches of Dr. Neo Cortex’s gang, who stole the goods for a big unknown scheme of their own. Upon arrival in Crash Bandicoot’s group’s apartment, Baloo’s group, along with Kit, Tiny, and Dingodile, managed to successfully hide the Tiki Scepter and the treasure with it, and, with all of us, managed to take a ride in our Gummi Ship to safety from Cortex’s gang. Suspicious of what Cortex’s gang is up to for the Tiki Scepter, and who they’re working with to make the scheme possible, we were then tasked by Sultan Volteer’s group to go to the jungle where Cortex’s gang have arrived at to meet up with their comrades, so we could figure out who they are. And sure enough, it was Ruggedo the Nome King’s gang. Then despite Princess Serena’s group getting captured and almost tortured by them, we managed to save them and escape by the skin of our teeth. Yet, we still don’t know what Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs want with the Tiki Scepter.

Opening song: Arabian Nights (Ashladdin the Series)

Mad Tiki Science Part 2 (Ashladdin Version)

*(The next morning in Agrabah, the people are doing their usual business. In the palace in Meowth’s group’s room, Meowzie, Milo, Sophia, Team Rocket, and even Pikachu, Crash, Darkwing, and Baloo’s groups, with Darkwing and Gizmoduck dressed as Drake and Fenton again and Tiny and Dingodile being the only members of Baloo’s group not in the room with them, are watching “Mighty Mouse” on TV, with the title hero fighting against Baron Greenback on the show, flying in the air while chasing Greenback and his goons, who are riding off with their skimmers on the ground level, trying to shoot away Mighty Mouse, who kept dodging skillfully)*

Kit: (While watching the show) Come on, Mighty Mouse!

Molly: (Agreeing while watching the show) Kick Baron Greenback’s butt!

*(On the TV screen, Greenback and his goons are firing their laser blasters away at Mighty Mouse, who is continuing to dodge and fly after them)*

Tank: Show that Greenback who’s boss!

Milo: (Shadowboxing with his claws a bit) He’ll get that dirty old hunchbacked toad. Mighty Mouse’s the greatest superhero mouse in the whole world. He’s even better than Uncle Pikachu.

Pikachu: (Smugly and playfully) Pika?

Meowth: (Agreeing smugly and playfully with Pikachu) Yeah, “Oh, really?” is right.

James: No other mouse like Mighty Mouse is better than Pikachu.

Honker: What’s gonna happen next, Fenton, boys?

Fenton: Well, let’s just wait and see.

Huey: Mighty Mouse would never give up a dangerous crime like that.

Dewey: That’s his creed.

Louie: (Shushes them) Watch and listen.

*(On the TV screen, Mighty Mouse lands in a city alleyway to look out for Greenback and his goons, as the kids watching the show watched in anticipation. They then see Greenback and his goons slink past some dumpsters and behind a brick wall)*

Sophia: Look at him and his goons run!

Gosalyn: That coward!

Sophia: You said it!

Milo: That cowardly toad!

*(As he watches Greenback raising his blaster behind the wall on the TV screen, Milo and Sophia clawed at the air a bit in determination and anger)*

Milo: I’d like to claw that yellow-bellied jerk like a scratchpost!

Sophia: That’ll teach that yellow-bellied jerk!

Meowzie: (Gasps, then scoldingly) Milo, Sophia!

*(Milo and Sophia hesitated nervously and then got sheepish)*

Milo and Sophia: (Sheepishly) Yes, Mom?

Meowzie: Where did you ever hear such talk?!

Meowth: (To Meowzie, apologetically upon realizing and seeing this) I said that before regarding Ruggedo’s gang, and I’m sorry. *(To Milo and Sophia, sternly)* Watch what you say from hearing stuff like that from people, young man and young lady!

Rebecca: (Agreeing sternly) Especially from your own father, you know?

Milo and Sophia: (Innocently) Yes, Dad and Becky.

*(On the TV screen, Mighty Mouse is looking around cautiously in determination as Greenback and his goons are preparing to sneak-attack him. Watching this, Honker, Webby, Lisa, and Molly got concerned)*

Webby and Lisa: Turn around, Mighty Mouse!

Honker and Molly: Watch out!

Milo: Relax!

Sophia: Yeah!

Milo and Sophia: Mighty Mouse’ll get that yellow-bel…!

*(They suddenly stopped in shock and realization upon hearing Meowth clear his throat sternly, as if reminding them that he just scolded them and taught them a lesson on that. Immediately, Milo and Sophia gladly changed their insult into a more appropriate one in determination)*

Milo and Sophia: (To Honker, Webby, Lisa, and Molly, in determination) He’ll get that jerky toad, all right! *(To Meowth and Meowzie, hopefully)* Is that insult better?

Meowth and Meowzie: (Nods in approval) Much better.

*(Then as they and everyone else watched Greenback fire his blaster at Mighty Mouse, only for the latter to cleverly dodge it on the TV screen, Crash and Gene then both briefly transformed into James Cagney)*

Crash and Gene: (Imitating James Cagney) You clever rat. You dodged the bullet, you clever rat.

*(Then they changed back to normal. On the TV screen, Greenback shoots at Mighty Mouse again, but he shoots a nearby dumpster instead as Mighty Mouse bounced away from the laser)*

Sombra: (Imitating Max Smartwell, watching this) Missed him by that much.

Mohawk: I’m scared Greenback’s gonna shoot Mighty Mouse.

Wildcat: Aw, don’t worry. Greenback would never get Mighty Mouse with that laser, because Mighty Mouse is as stronger than a bullet train and faster than a speeding bullet!

*(Then everyone shushed Wildcat in annoyance, making him quiet down sheepishly in realization that he is talking loud)*

Wildcat: (Whispering sheepishly) Sorry.

*(Then on the TV screen, Greenback aimed his blaster at Mighty Mouse again, but Mighty Mouse, again, jumped to behind another dumpster. A short pause as Greenback and his goons cautiously approached in suspicion, then Mighty Mouse jumped out from behind the dumpster, ready to fight)*

Kit: Punch him!

*(Then on the TV screen, Greenback aimed his blaster at Mighty Mouse. Watching this, the younger kids, except the surprised and shocked Milo and Sophia, covered their eyes in shock from the brutality as Greenback’s laser was heard being shot, hitting Mighty Mouse. After they looked again, the younger kids got concerned upon seeing Mighty Mouse on the TV screen laying on the ground, seemingly dead)*

Kit: Oh, no, he got him!

Wildcat: I’ll be darned. He *did* get him.

Sophia: Aw, Mighty Mouse is faking it.

Milo: Just a gut feeling Sophia and I feel.

*(Then sure enough on the TV screen, they see Mighty Mouse, without letting Greenback and his goons see this, briefly open his eye and wink at the screen and briefly showed off his hidden bullet-proof vest before hiding it and playing dead again)*

Wildcat: (Realizing happily) Oh, he’s playing possum.

Kit: (Agreeing) With a bullet-proof vest.

Webby: You mean “Playing dead,” Wildcat?

Wildcat: Actually, Webby, “Playing possum” is a term for “Playing dead.”

Baloo: Like how actual possums would trick predators and dangers by playing dead.

Webby: (Getting it) Oh, okay.

Sophia: (Watching the TV screen) And there’s nothing that can scare Mighty Mouse, especially not me.

*(Greenback appears on the TV screen laughing evilly a bit with his goons, scaring Sophia that she fell backwards on the floor right next to Milo that even Milo chuckled a bit at this)*

Milo: (Finishing his chuckling) And *that* didn’t scare you?

Sophia: (Recovering in nonchalant anger) Very funny.

*(On the TV screen, just as Greenback and his goons continued their evil laughter of victory, Mighty Mouse wakes up and fiercely tackles the villains. The two enemies fight at one another as they tumble out onto the city streets right towards a police station. All the kids and even Team Rocket, Baloo, Louie Kingston, and Wildcat cheered their TV hero on excitedly)*

Louie Kingston: (During the cheering) Send that crooked crook to the hoosegow!

*(Then on the TV screen, Mighty Mouse ends the fight victoriously by giving one powerful kick and uppercut punch in Greenback and his goons’ faces, right into a jail cell. As soon as Greenback and his goon flew and crashed right into the jail cell, defeated, the police chief immediately slammed the cell door closed and locked it, before a white light briefly flashed on the TV screen, indicating a camera shutter’s light, showing a picture on the front cover of a newspaper of an angry Greenback and his saddened goons in the jail cell with Mighty Mouse standing next to it heroically, with the paper’s title that reads “Mighty Mouse Foils Greenback’s Bank Robbery” while the kids watching this, cheered a bit)*

Sabrina: I knew Mighty Mouse would win!

Milo and Sophia: Yeah!

*(Then as soon as the show is over on TV, the rest of the heroes came in, with Ash's group wearing their peddler disguises and Serena’s group wearing their same gypsy disguises they wore on the day they and Ash’s group first met and fell in love. Seeing them, the heroes who just finished watching “Mighty Mouse” came up to them hopefully)*

Louie Kingston: Any clue signs the crooks pulling off for their Tiki scheme?

Pikachu: (Hopefully) Pika ka?

Ash: Nothing so far.

Tombo: (Hanging his removed peddler cloak) We did a good undercover investigation, and still nothing yet.

Sora: No answers whatsoever.

Matt: Even the people of Agrabah don’t know anything yet.

Pikachu: (Disappointedly in an exasperated tone) Pika….

Kiki: But Bowser did find this.

*(She then showed off a piece of evidence in the form of a piece of beef jerky-like meat. Upon showing that, the heroes, except Ash and Serena’s groups’ group, repulsed at the smell emanating from it)*

Louie Kingston: (Fanning his hand) Hoo-fa! Smells like a bunch of dirty laundry hung around to dry like a bunch of barrels full of rotten monkeys!

Rebecca: (Covering her nose, agreeing) What you said made no sense, Louie K., but I agree!

*(Then Crash magically conjured a fan and got rid of the smell by letting it blow it away, making them breath in normal air again)*

Camille: This piece of beef jerky is technically what we’ve seen Koala Kong eating a lot besides granola bars, fruits and vegetables, and yes, from the smell, saturated in onion and beet-mixed Red Bull energy drinks.

Baloo: (Aghast) Onion and beet-mixed Red Bull energy drinks?!

James: (Airheaves a bit) That is gross.

Dingodile: Yeah, well, Koala likes it that way.

Tiny: (Nods) And that, too, disgusts Tiny and Dingodile.

Crash: (Scoffs) And some people *actually* think that *plain* Red Bull gives ya wings.

Sombra: It most certainly does not.

Gene: Just makes ya hyperactive and crazy from its powerful caffeine.

Megavolt: (Pouring himself a cup of less caffeinated joe) Which is why I prefer *less* caffeinated coffee.

*(He sips his cup a bit)*

Megavolt: (Smacks his lips a bit) That’s my usual good ol’ cup o’ joe.

Quackerjack: The kind with less caffeine.

Bushroot and Liquidator: As you like it.

*(Then later after they get back to serious business, in the palace guard house of the palace, they begin studying the beef jerky sample with their chemistry set, and Crash, Sombra, and Gene’s group, all dressed in scientist clothing, are working on it, via chemistry, as the heroes, with Ash and Serena's groups back in their main attires and Kiki back in her green dress, watched. Then one drip from a red chemical dripped onto the beef jerky and it poofed up a red smoke. Immediately, Crash’s group got happy)*

Crash’s group: Eureka!

*(Then Crash, Sombra, and Gene magically changed themselves and their group back to their main attires and then Crash showed the sizzling beef jerky sample)*

Crash: We figured out where this came from!

Heroes except Crash’s group: (Hopefully) Really?

Kit: Did it come from their base?

Crash: No, worse. It’s from a huge onion and beet factory in the middle of the desert near Agrabah.

Baloo’s group: An onion and beet factory?

Wildcat: (Confused) Why would Cortex and Ruggedo’s gangs be hanging around a factory for?

Crash: (Jokingly) “Beets” me!

*(He chuckles a bit, then got serious)*

Crash: (Nonchalantly) But seriously, we don’t know.

*(Later, the heroes, with Sora and Kiki wearing their belts, Kiki wearing her purplish black dress attire, and Drake and Fenton dressed as Darkwing and Gizmoduck again, were heading off to investigate some more as Volteer and Don Karnage’s groups saw them off)*

Liquidator: We’ll be sure to give you any updates when we come back home.

Mad Dog: Why not just contact us via the intercom?

Dumptruck: *Ja*? That would’ve been easier.

*(Gibber made a brief grunt in agreement)*

Don Karnage: (To Mad Dog, Dumptruck, and Gibber, nonchalantly) Really? You want them to contact us through the Gummi Ship’s intercoms? *(Angrily)* Use your brains!

Grace: (To Don Karnage) Take it easy. *(To Mad Dog, Dumptruck, and Gibber)* The reason they can’t us contact with the intercom on anymore updates right now is because it’s possible that the enemy would possibly hack into our contacts.

Volteer: (Nods) In other words, eavesdrop on us.

Don Karnage: So, you see? One eavesdrop and they would have the know-how on what we’re doing and thinking, yes, no?

Mad Dog and Dumptruck: (Getting it with Gibber, who nods in agreement) Oh, yeah, that’s right.

Don Karnage: (To Ash’s group, his arms crossed) And you better get back to us safely, persnickety bit!

Ash’s group: (Nods) We definitely will.

*(Then with that, the heroes left in the Gummi Ship. In the air far away, Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs, already cleaned up from the sand-filled mud from the last episode, are flying in their skimmers, scouring the area for the heroes, or flying by his jetpack for Bulba’s case. Then Ruggedo and Cortex’s groups contacted them via their intercoms)*

Ruggedo: Men. Come in, men, over.

Cortex: Keep your eyes peeled, over.

Preed: Those meddlers and the Tiki Scepter are bound to come out sooner or later, over.

Pinstripe: (Answering via his intercom) Yeah, well, if it weren’t for Macho Bear here *(Gestures to Koala nearby)* clumsily dropping his onion and beef Red Bull-soaked beef jerky with his muscular butterfingers, then we wouldn’t have to scour the area so soon!

Koala: (Angrily calling out to Pinstripe) I take offense in that, Big Nose!

Pinstripe: (Angrily and mockingly calling out to Koala) Butterfingers, butterfingers!

Ripper: (Happily piping in) I like Butterfinger candy!

Koala: (Angrily calling out to Pinstripe, ignoring Ripper) Snappy dresser, tommy gun crazehead!

Pinstripe: (Surprised, then angrily calling out to Koala) Oh! Leave my mother out of this!

N. Brio: (Contacting them in annoyance and anger) ENOUGH!! Just focus right now, over!

N. Gin: (To Pinstripe) And for the record, Pinstripe, you say “Over” after each contact on these intercoms, over!

Pinstripe: (Sarcastically) Well, excuuuuuse me for not saying “Over,” over.

*(A short pause, then….)*

N. Gin: (Nonchalantly) I do not like your tone, over.

*(Suddenly, Ripper spots something in the distance and excitedly calls out to Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs)*

Ripper: (Calling out to Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs) Yoo-hoo! I see a big birdy!

*(They look, and, to their surprise, the “Big birdy” Ripper spotted is, in fact, the Merry Team’s Gummi Ship from far away)*

Bulba: (To Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs) By George, that bird is the meddlers’ Gummi Ship, over! *(To Ripper)* Good eyes for a crazy kangaroo, over!

Ripper: (Flattered, giggles crazily a bit) Thank you, over.

Makuramon: Let’s go attack!

Shere Khan: No! I say we catch them by the element of surprise when they least expect it once we see where they are going right now.

Tropy: Like he said.

Ruggedo: (To himself, interested with his and Cortex’s gangs) Well! *(To Shere Khan)* That’s a great idea, Shere Khan!

Dijon: (Agreeing) Heck, he’s got my vote!

*(Then they secretly followed the Merry Team’s Gummi Ship from afar. With the Merry Team, they landed their Gummi Ship at the onion and beet factory. Then upon entering, they explored and investigated, with Crash’s group magically changing into their police detective uniforms via Crash, Sombra, and Gene’s magic)*

Molly: Gee, that’s a really bad smelly factory.

Bushroot: Well, what do you expect from some vegetables that sting your eyes’ tear ducts with their stench?

*(Then Aku-Aku spots a nearby office door and entered, unknown to the Merry Team, who are still looking around for clues. Upon seeing something curtained in the shadows in the room’s corner and something visible sticking out in the light, he got suspicious. Upon approaching a bit, he then turned the lights on in the room, and the something sticking out in the light is revealed to be the corner of a blueprint)*

Aku-Aku: (Approaching the blueprints) Wait a minute….

*(He takes a closer look even more and noticed something familiar-looking on the blueprints, something involving the Tiki Scepter on those blueprints)*

Aku-Aku: (To himself, softly in suspicion) That symbol….

*(Then he got startled when Crash appeared, poofing out of thin air)*

Crash: (Upon appearing and making Aku-Aku jump in startlement) Find anything?

Aku-Aku: (Surprised) Crash, you terrified me!

Crash: (Sheepishly realizing) Oh, sorry.

*(Then the Merry Team, having arrived already, noticed the blueprints with Crash and Aku-Aku)*

Fidget: Actual blueprints.

Stellaluna: But what are these blueprints of?

Aku-Aku: Something about the Tiki Scepter, from what I noticed.

Sky: If so, why?

Aku-Aku: Because, from what I’m seeing…. That symbol with the Tiki Scepter…. Seemed familiar to me.

*(Taking a closer look at the symbol with Aku-Aku, Crash, Sombra, Gene, Coco, and Crunch noticed it and became suspicious as well)*

Gene: Shabooey, you’re right.

Sombra: That symbol is familiar….

*(Getting their cameras out via their pocket and magic respectively, Megavolt and Crash then snapped a picture of their own of the blueprints and then stored the pictures within the cameras’ own SD cards. Suddenly noticing a secret passageway entrance, the Merry Team cautiously opened it, and then, using Megavolt’s electronic scanner combined with his electrokinesis from his battery pack upon connecting himself to the machine, they scanned the passageway, and sure enough, they realized from the scanner’s screen that the path has ended at Crash’s group’s apartment’s location, much to their calm shock. Then they saved a copy of what the scanner scanned via the scanner’s camera. Once that’s done and Megavolt disconnected himself from his scanner, the Merry Team quickly let Crash, Sombra, and Gene, magically conjuring up and then putting on their own welding masks, welded the entrance, hoping that not only will the entrance to the passageway remains closed off, but also to make sure Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs don’t discover it or try to go in there, since the Merry Team, themselves, know, for a fact, that Crash’s group’s apartment is where they hid the Tiki Scepter and the treasure that came with it. Later, once out of the factory, having finished their investigation with only the pictures they took of the blueprints and the passageway’s schematics from the scanner, as well as Crash, Sombra, and Gene having already magically discarded their welding masks, the Merry Team headed for the Gummi Ship)*

Baloo: Okay, this is getting very scary.

Scrooge: You and some of Crash’s group’s members might possibly know something about that symbol, Gene.

Ash: And you, Crash, Sombra, and mostly Aku-Aku seem quiet about it suddenly.

Gene: Well, it’s just a gut-wrenching sinking feeling we have in our guts right now.

Crash: (Briefly transforms into a biologist holding a red heart) Not to be confused with actual guts.

*(Then, as soon as the Merry Team got to the Gummi Ship, Molly and Sky noticed something coming their way in the sky far away)*

Molly: Hey, look, birdies.

Sky: Some big ones to be exact.

*(The Merry Team noticed as well upon hearing them and after looking closely as the “Birdies” approached, they realized who they really are in shock)*

Rebecca: Those aren’t birdies!

*(Then sure enough, some bullets shot down at them from a certain tommy gun. Those “Birdies” are, indeed, Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs, coming in for an attack. Quickly dodging the bullets by running and/or jumping out of the way, the Merry Team immediately pulled their weapons out)*

Dingodile: (Preparing his flamethrower) Never a dull rotten barby day would they leave us alone!

*(Then he and Tiny blasted their flamethrower and trident’s magic at Ruggedo and Cortex’s gang, making the villains zip out of the way, dodging the blasts)*

Ruggedo and Cortex’s groups: Attack!

*(Then they begin blasting their blasters, guns, and/or magic blasts at the Merry Team and their Gummi Ship, but thanks to Ash and Serena’s groups’ Keyblades, Crash, Sombra, and Gene’s magic barrier spells, the bullets and blasts deflected from them. Immediately, the Merry Team boarded the Gummi Ship and started to get ready to take off, with Serena secretly sending a hidden magical SOS with her Keyblade to the palace)*

Launchpad: We need to lose them!

*(Then he and Coco, after Ash and Serena’s groups, Crash, Sombra, and Gene quickly dispersed the barrier with their Keyblades and magic respectively and Serena finished her secret magical SOS, immediately piloted the Gummi Ship into the air. Suddenly, Rilla and some of Ruggedo’s gang members started pinning the Gummi Ship down towards the ground from above with their skimmers. Inside the Gummi Ship, Scrooge, agitated and annoyed by this, immediately pulled out an emergency button nearby the controls)*

Scrooge: Enough, you scallywag thieving dogs!

*(Then he punched the button with his fist, and outside, a giant boxing glove popped out from the Gummi Ship’s side and punched Rilla and some of Ruggedo’s gang members aside, knocking them onto the ground. Once up in the air after Rilla and the members recovered and resumed their flight on their skimmers, the Merry Team noticed Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs are still persistently chasing them. Getting an idea, Baloo and Rebecca nods at each other in determination)*

Baloo: (To Rebecca) I know what you’re thinkin’. *(To Ash and Serena’s groups and Kit)* Listen, guys, Becky and I just got a brainstorm!

Rebecca: Quickly grab us some mangoes!

*(Despite being confused at first, Ash and Serena’s groups and Kit immediately ran to the food storage area of the Gummi Ship and gathered some mangoes. After Kit dropped four near Milo, Sophia, Sky, and Molly, the four then picked each mango up)*

Molly: Wow, that’s a lot of mangoes, Mommy and Daddy.

Milo: Will this plan of yours involving mangoes really work?

Rebecca: Of course.

Baloo: (Smugly picking a mango up from Ash) And let’s hope the enemy’s really hungry.

*(Then opening the Gummi Ship’s rear window, Baloo, with Crash, Sombra, and Gene’s help, the three latters having magically transformed into black suited ninjas wielding katanas, prepared to throw the mango out)*

Baloo: (Calling out to Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs) Here’s fruit in your eyes, fellas!

Sombra: (Imitating a ninja, agreeing) Eat well and wisely!

Crash and Gene: (Imitating ninjas) *Hai*!

*(Then Baloo threw the mango out and Crash, Sombra, and Gene, using their levitation, swiftly sliced the mango into thin holed round-shaped slices with their katanas and then, after magically changing back to normal and magically dispersing the katanas, quickly flew back on board the Gummi Ship to Baloo’s side. Each slice then flew right into Ruggedo and Pinstripe’s own faces)*

Crash, Gene, and Baloo: (While Sombra calmly stuck a smug raspberry at the villains and Baloo pulled another mango out) Ha!

*(Then Pinstripe, with one shot from his tommy gun, blasted the second mango Baloo was holding into pieces, shocking Crash, Sombra, Gene, and Baloo. Immediately, Baloo closed the window and turned to the Merry Team in concern)*

Crash: Nix that idea.

Baloo: I’ll say.

*(Then getting another idea while Milo, Sophia, Sky, and Molly let Ash's group take the mangoes they're holding and putting them and the rest of the mangoes away again, Kit quickly pulled his glider out)*

Kit: Got any rope?

Merry Team: Why?

*(Then later, the Gummi Ship’s cargo bay deck doors opened and then Kit, hanging onto the rope line attached to the Gummi Ship’s iron handle hanging by the doorway, glided out into the air along with Ash, with Pikachu hanging onto Ash’s shoulders, and Serena’s groups, who are using one half of their own Keyblades as their hoverboards and the other half as their weapons, and Serena, Sora, and Kiki are wielding some ice cream containers)*

Kit: Yahoo!

*(Watching this from within the Gummi Ship, the Merry Team are impressed)*

Quackerjack: I’m liking the princesses already!

James: Me too, Quackie!

Biyomon and Jiji: Indeed.

Molly: Do you think I can ride like that later?

Rebecca: Sure, when it’s safe.

*(Out in the air, Ash and Serena’s groups, Pikachu, and Kit zipped around at Negaduck and the Komodo Brothers)*

Kit: Hey!

Pikachu: (Calling out) Pikachu!

Matt: (While Serena's group opened the ice cream containers they're carrying) You want some dessert?

*(Then with one powerful throw, Serena’s group immediately threw the opened ice cream containers right onto Negaduck and the Komodo Brothers’ heads, temporally blinding them and making them dive down to the ground and right into an oasis spring. Ash and Serena’s groups, Pikachu, and Kit laughed at this a bit at first until they noticed Koala and Bulba coming their way, ready to shoot them)*

Kit: Uh-oh, gotta be quick!

*(Then Ash and Serena’s groups, Pikachu, and Kit immediately glided to Bulba’s jetpack’s engine and, with one swipe of their Keyblades, Ash and Serena’s groups cut Bulba’s jetpack’s gas fuel line, making him lose gas, crash right into Koala, and then crashed straight to the same oasis Negaduck and the Komodo Brothers just recovered at upon crashing there)*

Koala: (While crashing) Cheese and crackers!

Bulba: (While crashing) I hate when that happeeeeeeeeennnnns!!!!

*(Watching this with impressed looks, the Merry Team cheered a bit)*

Baloo: Man, those kids are dynamites!

*(Then Ash and Serena’s groups and Pikachu begin to help Kit fly back to the Gummi Ship’s cargo bay deck when suddenly, Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs flew at them, shooting at them and making them dodge and/or, with the Keyblades’ magic’s help, deflect the bullets and blasts swiftly even more)*

Tombo: Time to get out of here!

Kit: (Agreeing) Get in out of the rain!

*(Inside the Gummi Ship....)*

Lisa: (Covering her eyes in concern) I can't look!

*(Outside, a stray bullet then shot the rope line, cutting it, but luckily, someone appeared and caught Ash and Serena’s groups, Pikachu, and Kit in the nick of time. It is Volteer, in his dragon form)*

Merry Team except Serena's group: (With Lisa noticing) Volteer?!

Serena's group: (Happily and/or surprised) Father! (Father?!) (Uncle Volteer?!)

*(Noticing this, Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs came after them. With Volteer, he flew Ash and Serena’s groups, Pikachu, and Kit to the Gummi Ship’s cargo bay deck entrance and upon dropping them off in there, he called out to Launchpad)*

Volteer: Okay, LP!

*(Then after Volteer flew aside from the cargo bay deck doors, Launchpad quickly closed the cargo bay deck doors. Upon recovering, Ash’s group, Sora, Kiki, Pikachu, and Kit got confused)*

Kiki: How did Father know we were…?

Tombo: And how did he…?

Serena: (Shows off her Keyblade) My magic SOS sender.

*(Getting it in realization, the Merry Team nods)*

Sora: (Realizing) Oh, yeah.

Tombo: (Agreeing) The one type of contact nobody can hack and eavesdrop on.

Kiki: (Impressed) Very clever.

Baloo: And boy, oh, boy, kids, you are something else.

Rebecca: (Giving an impressed smile to Serena’s group) Especially not bad for princesses like you.

Ash and Serena’s groups and Kit: (Flattered) Thank you.

Pikachu: (Flattered) Pika!

Kit: But we’re still chased.

Coco: (Calling out to Volteer) How can we lose them?!

Volteer: (Calling back) Only one way left!

*(Then he grabbed the Gummi Ship and Launchpad and Coco let him carry them and the Merry Team away by turning around quickly and flying the other direction. With Ruggedo and Pinstripe, they angrily wiped the mango slices off of themselves)*

Ruggedo: They think they can me us fruit salads?!

Pinstripe: Who do they think they’re messing with?!

N. Gin: (To Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs) Follow them!

*(Then they charged after the Gummi Ship. Volteer, however, flew by its side, anticipating this. Then, as soon as Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs got closer….)*

Volteer: (Calling out to Coco) Now!

*(On cue, Coco dipped the Gummi Ship’s cargo bay deck towards the villains and opened the doors to them, and a whole barrage of mangoes rained down onto them, much to Ruggedo and Cortex’s gang’s shock and surprise)*

Cortex: Uh-oh, more mangoes.

Ripper: Uh-oh, Spagetti-Os.

*(Then the mangoes impacted them, with one hitting and smashing into Pinstripe’s face again and another getting stuck and lodged into Ripper’s mouth. Then with that distraction, their skimmers immediately crashed at the same oasis Negaduck, Bulba, Koala, and the Komodo Brothers crashed and recovered at with Rilla and some of Ruggedo's gang members meeting up with them upon their recovery. Upon recovering, the villains, except Ripper who still has the mango lodged in his mouth, got really livid)*

Cortex: CURSES!!!!

*(Then Ripper spits the mango out and after smacking his lips a bit, he giggles crazily a bit)*

Ripper: This mango’s delish.

*(With the Merry Team and Volteer, they then resumed their flight back to Agrabah’s palace)*

Baloo: You know, I have to admit, I lose more good mangoes that way.

*(Later back at the palace, with Volteer back in his human form, the Merry Team explained to him, Grace, Haruhiko, Toshiko, and Don Karnage’s group their discovery at the factory before the chase)*

Grace: So, basically, this symbol you found seemed familiar to some of the members of Crash’s group?

Merry Team: Yep.

Izzy: And that’s the one thing that’s been bothering us.

*(They looked at Baloo’s group and some of the members of Crash’s group)*

Tawna: We understand it’s a familiar mystery to some of Crash’s group, but what about you, Baloo’s group?

Jiji: Do you have any clue on what they’re plotting the whole time?

*(Hearing him ask that, Baloo’s group became unsure while Tiny and Dingodile hesitated a bit. Noticing the two hesitating, Biyomon went up to them)*

Biyomon: We can see that you both are hesitating on telling us.

Rebecca: (Agreeing) Well, Biyomon, they’ve been through heck and back their whole life.

Wildcat: Also definitely bad enough when we got captured before.

Merry Team: (Confused) “Heck and back,” what do you mean?

*(They looked at Tiny and Dingodile for answers)*

Don Karnage: (Sternly crossing his arms) Are there some skeletons in your closet you like to share-and-share-alike with us?

*(Seeing how serious they are, Tiny and Dingodile calmly casted aside their hesitation and confessed)*

Tiny: Tiny and Dingodile were once humans, forced to work for Cortex’s gang men.

Dingodile: Even as to so far threaten to murder us like they did my little sister, Kara Wallaroo, if we didn’t cooperate.

*(Shocked by what they heard with Volteer’s group, Mad Dog, Dumptruck, and Gibber while Don Karnage just remained suspicious, the Merry Team turned to Baloo’s group for a response)*

Stegmutt: They really did that?

Baloo’s group: (Confirming it) It’s true.

Kit: (Looking at Tiny and Dingodile) And Tiny Tiger and Dingodile are not their real names.

Dingodile: That’s right.

Tiny: Our original names are Tucker Tigerson and Dale Wallaroo respectively.

Dingodile: And the mutants you’ve encountered; They, too, were originally humans.

*(Then Rebecca presented some wanted posters showing the mutants in Cortex’s gang, as well as the original wanted posters showing old pictures of their human forms. She then compared them by pointing them out)*

Rebecca: Most of their mutant forms are actual animals from Australia. Ripper and Rilla Roo; Ricky and Richard Rooter, mutated into a kangaroo and a kangaroo/gorilla hybrid respectively. Koala Kong; Kent Kong, mutated into a koala bear. Pinstripe Potoroo; Paul “Pinstripe” Potolini, mutated into a potoroo. And the Komodo Brothers, Joe and Moe; Joe and Moe Komadipatatim, both mutated into Komodo dragons.

*(After looking at the posters upon Rebecca’s explanation, the heroes nod and then Don Karnage and Volteer spoke)*

Don Karnage: We’ll somewhat take your wordy word on it.

Volteer: The rest of us *will* take your word on it.

Grace: Even though all of us were half aware of what good things you did that lead to this.

Tai: Now, tell us from the beginning, how you became mutated.

Agumon: And what lead to all of this today.

*(Tiny, Dingodile, and Baloo’s group nods and decided to explain away. We then crossfade into a flashback, where we then see their human forms training reluctantly in Cortex’s gang’s battleship. Tiny’s human form is a 30 year old muscular man with short orange spiky hair, blue eyes, and wearing a red tanktop, a spiked brown shoulder plate on his left shoulder, blue shorts, white socks, and red and white converse shoes. He is Tucker Tigerson, Tiny’s original human form. And Dingodile’s human form is a 29 year old man with an Australian accent, short brown hair, brown eyes, and wearing a white long-sleeved button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, tan pants, and black shoes, and sometimes wears and carries a backpack-like flamethrower. He is Dale Wallaroo, Dingodile’s original human form. Nearby them, more male humans are training with them. The first human male is a 28 year old with short blue spiky hair, pale skin, blood-red eyes, brown pupils, a crazy-look on his face, and wearing a white straightjacket and white pants. He is Ricky Rooter, Ripper’s original human form. The second male human is a 33 year old muscular man with short spiky dark gray hair with gray sideburns, brown eyes, and wearing a red tanktop, orange pants, and brown boots. He is Kent Kong, Koala’s original human form. The third male human is a 31 year old man with a Brooklyn accent, short black slick hair, brown eyes, and wearing a green long-sleeved shirt underneath a red long-sleeved pinstriped business suit, a black necktie, red pinstriped pants, and black shoes and sometimes wields a tommy gun. He is Paul “Pinstripe” Potolini, Pinstripe’s original human form. The fourth male human is a 31 year old man with tan skin, short green hair, brown eyes, and wearing a yellow Arabian cup-like helmet with a metal spike on top, a purple head cloak underneath, a white sleeveless long tunic underneath a magenta long-sleeved Arabian robe that is open with gold yellow rims, gold Arabian shoes, and sometimes wields a scimitar. He is Joe Komadipatatim, Komodo Joe’s original human form. The fifth male human is a chubby 32 year old man with tan skin, short green hair, a short thin green chin beard, brown eyes, and wearing a yellow Arabian cup-like helmet with a metal spike on top, a purple head cloak underneath, a white sleeveless long tunic underneath a magenta long-sleeved Arabian robe that is open with gold yellow rims, gold Arabian shoes, and sometimes wields a scimitar. He is Moe Komadipatatim, Komodo Moe’s original human form. And the last male human is a 29 year old man with slick short brown hair, brown eyes, and wearing a black tanktop underneath a red and white long-sleeved leather bomber jacket, a black belt, red pants, and brown shoes. He is Richard Rooter, Rilla’s original human form. After their training finished, Paul smacked Dale in the back of his head in annoyance)*

Paul: Hey, stupids! You got to concentrate more!

Kent: (Lifting a heavyweight) Otherwise, you’ll never be victorious in the end!

Joe: (Balancing his scimitar) You just got to be skilled.

Moe: (Balancing his scimitar) Study your enemy’s weakness, and….

*(Then they flipped their scimitars into the air)*

Joe and Moe: Strike at the right time!

*(Suddenly, while they caught the scimitar by their blades carefully, Joe suddenly yelped in pain a bit. Then after he and Moe held their scimitars by their handles again, they and the henchmen noticed Joe’s index finger just got a small scratch from the blade)*

Joe: (Whines) Bladed paper cut.

Moe: That happened to me before.

Paul: Aw, grow backbones from your labonza, will ya?!

Richard: It’s just a little cut.

Ricky: Bandage it, bandage it!

*(Later, after Joe puts a band-aid on his cut finger, Tucker noticed something in the corner. Outside in the air, they see Cortex’s group heading their way, with Ruggedo’s gang riding with them)*

Tucker: Uh, your bosses have returned, and they brought more newcomers.

*(Back in the present, the Merry Team realized)*

Ash: So, that’s how Ruggedo’s gang ended up being recruited by Cortex’s gang before.

Jessie: Probably because they want to have their vendetta against us.

James: Yet Cortex’s gang didn’t seem to have the same vendetta against us as them.

*(Back in the flashback, after Ruggedo’s gang have been recruited, they were training even more, which, at one point, Dijon was swinging his scimitar, only to accidentally cut his sash belt and make his pants fall down and showing his boxers again, much to his embarrassment. Later, after Dijon has apparently already pulled up and secured his pants and sash belt again, they watched Cortex’s group giving their new commands by now)*

Cortex: All right, listen up!

N. Gin: And you all listen good!

Cortex: (To N. Gin) Thank you, Dr. N. Gin. *(To his and Ruggedo’s gangs)* We have been informed by Nitros Oxide here *(Gestures to Oxide)* that he’s found some strange readings coming from some kind of ancient treasure.

Oxide: And whatever that is, it might have something to do with making all our dreams of being rich come true.

*(Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs became interested while Tucker and Dale became unsure)*

N. Brio: Any questions?

Tucker: Dale and I got one.

Dale: Do you think stealing more and more treasure will make you rich?

Tucker: That’s what we like to know.

*(Shocked and surprised to hear Tucker and Dale ask such an appalling question, Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs glared at them in a nonchalant way while Ricky just scratched his head in confusion for a bit)*

Ruggedo: (Nonchalantly) Really?

Preed: (Nonchalantly) And if we didn’t try to steal more to become more rich, wouldn’t *that* make us poor?

Cortex: (Nonchalantly) Would that be wrong to do that for survival and for the greater good?

Dale: What kind of…?

Tucker: (While Dale said this) Are you twis…?

Cortex’s group: (Rhetortedly) Those were rhetorical questions!

Preed: Of course stealing more and more treasure will make us rich!

Ruggedo: If Cortex’s gang and my gang wish to get more for what we both want, then it’s okay!

N. Gin: You two *dumkoffs* should know better!

*(Tucker and Dale then just went quiet reluctantly, clearing their throats. Back in the present, Ash’s gang was even calmly shocked to hear that explanation from what Tiny and Dingodile just explained)*

Ash’s gang: Oh, my….

Quackerjack: And *they* have worse and crazy kleptomania than Sparky ever formally did.

Megavolt: (Annoyed) Must I remind you to never *(Shouting)* CALL ME "SPARKY?!"

Ash: (Resuming business) And they never have intentions to do that for survival and the real greater good like we did before.

Don Karnage: (Sarcastically) Oh, yes. The real greater good to make crime pay.

Matt: (Nonchalantly) That’s not what he meant by “Real greater good,” Karnagie.

Don Karnage: (Annoyed) And don’t call me “Karnagie!” I resent that!

Matt: (Nonchalantly) Sorry.

Toshiko: (Ending the argument) Enough! Let them continue their story.

*(Doing what Toshiko ordered, Matt and Don Karnage quieted down. Back in the flashback, Cortex’s group, Tropy, and Oxide are in the chemistry room, showing off some green chemicals to Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs)*

N. Brio: See these green chemicals?

N. Gin: These will give you an extreme amount of power into your bodies.

Tropy: And luckily for us, this chemical sample is enough for only eight volunteers.

Preed: And eight volunteers only.

Negaduck: Where did you get those chemicals anyway?

*(Smugly, Cortex’s group showed off some stolen emptied chemical barrels that helped them create the green chemical they have now. Realizing, Ruggedo’s gang got impressed)*

Dijon: Ah, I see.

Shere Khan: Mad science, from what we can tell.

*(Back in the present….)*

Neptunia: And is that where you guys got mutated?

Dingodile: (Looks at Baloo’s group) Well, a brief intervention happened first.

Baloo’s group: (Nods) Yeah.

*(Back in the flashback, Ricky, Kent, Paul, Joe, Moe, Tucker, Dale, and Richard are strapped down on the gurney tables, ready to be given the chemical samples)*

Kent: Are you sure those chemicals you’re giving us will give us those said strengths you claim?

N. Gin: Positive. For how else are you gonna be powered up?

*(Then as soon as filled the entire chemical into eight separate needle shots, Cortex, N. Brio, N. Gin, Tropy, Oxide, Shere Khan, Negaduck, and Bulba prepared to inject the chemicals into the nine strapped men, with the needles covered up)*

Bulba: Now, it is time.

*(Ricky panicked upon seeing the needles)*

Ricky: (Screams a bit) You never said anything about sharp needles!

Negaduck: (Smugly) Life can be full of surprises.

*(Suddenly, just when the eight villains wielding the needles were about to remove the covers of the said needles, another familiar group barged in by swinging in, kicking the nine villains down, making them drop their needles. It’s Baloo’s group, and as they swung at them, Baloo, Kit, and Louie Kingston did their Tarzan scream)*

Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs: (Surprised) What the…?!

*(Upon landing on the ground, Baloo’s group ran to the needles and prepared to grab them)*

Rebecca: What you’re doing here is irresponsible *and* illegal chemical science!

*(Unfortunately, something lassoed Baloo’s group away from the needles and then tied them up together. It was N. Gin, who lassoed them)*

N. Gin: Nice try, but no cigar, meddlers.

*(Concerned for Baloo’s group, Tucker and Dale tried to reason with Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs while Cortex, N. Brio, N. Gin, Tropy, Oxide, Shere Khan, Negaduck, and Bulba picked up the needles again)*

Dale: Hey, let them go now!

Tucker: This has gone too far!

Negaduck: (Scoffs) So what else is new from you?

*(Then the eight villains wielding the needles, after removing the covers from the needles themselves, approached the strapped down henchmen, with Ricky being the most freaked out)*

Ricky: (Nervously in a crazy way) I-I-Is it g-g-g-gonna hurt?

Bulba: (Casually) Oh, relax. Wouldn’t I say “Is it safe?” next?

*(Ricky gulps nervously. Then Bulba approached him, making him extremely freaked out even more until Bulba laid his cyborganic hand on his forehead, calming him down)*

Bulba: (Soothingly) There, see? This won’t hurt…. *(Sinisterly)* Much!

*(On “Much!”, he quickly off-screen injects the needle in Ricky’s side of his neck, making him give out a loud blood-curdling banshee-like scream. Surprised upon seeing this, the distracted henchmen got caught by surprise when the other seven villains wielding the open needles off-screen injected the chemicals in them through either their own exposed shoulders or sides of their own necks. Then immediately, the seven villains off-screen removed the needles from the henchmen’s necks and/or shoulders as the injected chemicals in the henchmen’s bodies begin its work. Back in the present, the heroes understood)*

Megavolt: So, that’s how became the mutants they are.

Bushroot: Because of those chemicals.

Tiny: Exactly.

Dingodile: (Rubbing his side of his neck where he was injected before) And boy, oh, boy, did it ever hurt.

*(Back in the flashback, in the battleship’s dungeon later, Baloo’s group, now untied, are forced inside a cell by the villains, except for the by-now mutated, but absent, henchmen, and Ruggedo slams the door shut and locks it)*

Ruggedo: See how you like that!

Negaduck: For trying to interfere!

Dijon: Uh, guys…?

N. Gin: (To Baloo’s group, ignoring Dijon) And you’ll see really bad consequences for that action!

Dijon: Guys?

Villains: (Finally responding to Dijon angrily) WHAT?!

Dijon: Um, the mutations are successful.

Oxide: And the henchmen are really pleased with their mutant animal forms.

Dijon: (Happily at first) Yep! *(Then confused)* But, uh, what did you turn Richard and that Wallaroo guy into? A tailed gorilla hybrid and a reptile/pig hybrid respectively?

Cortex: No, dimwit. Richard is now a mutant kangaroo/gorilla hybrid and Dale Wallaroo is now a mutant dingo/crocodile hybrid.

Dijon: A dingo/crocodile hybrid for Dale? But he looked like a pig with that snout of his, especially with that peach coloration like that of a pink-skinned pig that I’ve seen before. In fact, can he smell truffles like a pig? I mean, I read about….

*(In annoyance, Negaduck roughly yanks Dijon by his vest, dragging him away and thus making him quiet down as they and the villains, also annoyed by Dijon’s bumbling rambles, left the cell. In the cell, Baloo’s group glared angrily while Kit blew a raspberry at the villains’ direction after they were gone. Then Rebecca noticed Molly looking somewhat afraid)*

Molly: Mommy, guys? Do you think we’ll find a way out of here?

Rebecca: Of course, Molly. We’ll be fine, and we will find a way to escape. I promise.

Baloo: Yeah. Just leave it to ol’ reliable Papa Bear.

Kit: And his Little Britches.

Wildcat: And his buddies.

Louie: And you can take that to the bank.

Molly: Cross your hearts and hope to die?

Baloo’s group except Molly: Cross our hearts and hope to die.

*(Suddenly, they heard two familiar male voices whispering to them, sounding a little rougher, but in a nice way)*

Dale: (Voice-over, whispering) We completely agree, except for the dying part.

*(Baloo’s group turned and saw Tucker and Dale, now as Tiny and Dingodile, standing at the now unlocked and opened cell door)*

Tiny: (Whispering) Tiny and Dingodile will bust you out.

Dingodile: (Whispering) And rest assured, the both of us mates contacted the palace in Agrabah, because we just heard of this Merry Team….

Tiny: (Whispering) And we’ll make the time right to escape.

*(Baloo’s group smiled, glad to hear that. Back in the present, the heroes understood even more, although Don Karnage’s reaction was more nonchalant)*

Don Karnage: So, that was how you eventually escaped to your desired freedom at that timed right.

Baloo’s group, Tiny, and Dingodile: Exactly!

Liquidator: And that was why Volteer’s group got the call about the Tiki Scepter about to be stolen by those fiends.

Eraqus: Which then lead to the merchants to pretend to be robbed, believing that we can steal the Tiki Scepter and the treasure with it back from them.

*(Back in the flashback, Baloo’s group, except Kit, are wearing some parachutes they swiped from the cargo bay of the battleship thanks to Tiny and Dingodile securing them in them. Kit, on the other hand, remained by the two mutants’ side, grabbing the same cloak he wore back in Part 1 of this episode)*

Tiny and Dingodile: Wait for our cue.

Kit: And as soon as the enemy lands at the merchants, that’s your cue to jump and escape.

Baloo’s group except Kit: (Nods) Got it!

*(Then after Tiny and Dingodile opened the cargo bay doors, they watched, waiting on cue. Then they see the villains, except Ruggedo’s gang who left for the jungle to meet up with them later, as shown in Part 1, reach the merchant’s vehicle from also Part 1, exactly where that episode began)*

Tiny, Dingodile, and Kit: Now!

*(Then on that cue, Baloo’s group, except Kit, jumped out of the battleship and, upon activating their parachutes, they floated down to safety to Agrabah’s direction, waving goodbye to Tiny, Dingodile, and Kit, who waved back and Kit putting his cloak on as Tiny and Dingodile closed the cargo bay doors. Once the doors are all closed, Tiny, Dingodile, and Kit then climbed into the ventilation tunnels and after Dingodile closed the ventilation grate from behind, they crawled through carefully all the way to Cortex’s group’s cabin. After waiting patiently and silently while looking down at the cabin via the other ventilation grate, they then see Cortex’s gang enter the cabin with the Tiki Scepter. Then in the present, the story concluded)*

Dingodile: And thus, that was how me, Kit, and Tiny swiped back the Tiki Scepter and its treasure, escaped to Crash’s group’s apartment….

Kit: And hid the Tiki Scepter in that secret compartment you built in that apartment.

Tiny: (Eyeing us) As seen in Part 1 of this adventure.

*(The story finished, the heroes understood, except Don Karnage, who just shrugs)*

Dumptruck: Such a good story.

Aku-Aku: And you tell it really well.

Crunch: But that still doesn’t tell us why they want the Tiki Scepter.

*(Unknown to them, a hidden small silver bug-like device has eavesdropped on their conversation and then flew out of there. Upon arrival at Crash’s group’s apartment, it then flew through the secret passageway and reached the other side to, shocker, the factory, which the doors have already been blasted open apparently. Then the robot bug squeaked a bit to Bulba, for that’s his robot bug)*

Bulba: I see. You did good.

Cortex: So, what did it say?

Bulba: It said it overheard the meddlers being told by those two traitors and the bear’s group on how this all happened. But the good news; They still do not know why we want the Tiki Scepter, and it found out where the Tiki Scepter is hidden.

Villains: (Interested) Really?

Komodo Brothers: Where is it hiding in?

Bulba: (Smiling evilly) In that former genie bandicoot’s group's apartment, within a built compartment, behind our backs earlier.

*(The villains smirked evilly calmly, glad to hear that. Back at the palace, unaware of all of this, the heroes are all dressed in pajamas, with Darkwing and Gizmoduck as Drake and Fenton again, and the kids are playing around, with Sophia and Kit playfully pushing a stool with wheels all around the room with Molly and Milo riding on it like it’s a plane)*

Molly: (Imitating a plane) Look out, you villains! It’s Danger Woman!

Milo: Partnered with Mighty Mouse!

*(Then Kit and Sophia crashed into a nearby hammock, causing Molly and Milo to bump into it and then slingshot into the air and right into Baloo and Meowth, waking them up since they were sleeping on a nearby pillowed couch. Upon noticing that, they chuckled a bit)*

Baloo: (Jokingly, picking Molly up) Say, did you get clearance for that landing, little lady?

Meowth: (Jokingly, picking Milo up) Without it, that is *plane*-out illegal.

Milo: Oh, relax, Dad, Baloo.

*(He shows off his toy fake plane ID badge)*

Milo: We are the pilots.

*(They chuckled a bit. Then after that’s all done, Grace, Toshiko, Meowzie, Stellaluna, and Rebecca went up to the heroes)*

Grace: Time for bed everyone.

Toshiko: We need a good night’s sleep for tomorrow.

Grace: With hopes that we can find out what the villains are planning for the Tiki Scepter.

Molly: Aw, I wanna play and fly some more.

Rebecca: Sorry, honey. But we need to sleep.

Sophia: She’s right.

Sky: Even heroes need a good shut-eye, Molly.

Molly: (Understanding) Well, okay. Let’s go to bed then.

*(Then the kids climbed into their own beds, stretching a bit. With the older heroes, they got ready to head for their beds as well, leaving Meowzie, Stellaluna, Rebecca, Milo, Sophia, Sky, and Molly alone in the room)*

Male heroes: Good night!

Female heroes: Sleep tight!

Milo, Sophia, Sky, and Molly: See you later, navigator!

Meowzie, Stellaluna, and Rebecca: And a while, crocodile!

*(Just outside the room, the heroes headed off for their rooms to go to bed. All except Meowth’s group, Tiny, and Dingodile, that is)*

James: You know, those bear kids ain’t so bad.

Jessie: Cute and full of tenacity even.

*(Back in the room, Milo, Sophia, Sky, and Molly spoke up, getting their mothers’ attention)*

Molly: Mommy, none of us can sleep.

*(Rebecca, Meowzie, and Stellaluna approached them)*

Rebecca: Why not?

Meowzie and Stellaluna: Not comfortable?

Molly: No, it’s comfortable, it’s just that you forgot our favorite shared lullaby.

Milo: That song you sing to us to sleep.

Sophia: To remind us of home.

Sky: And our family relationship.

*(Realizing, Meowzie, Stellaluna, and Rebecca got sheepish at first)*

Meowzie, Stellaluna, and Rebecca: (Sheepishly) Oh, yeah, that’s right.

Meowzie: Almost forgot tonight.

*(Then Meowzie, Stellaluna, and Rebecca sang their lullaby to their children)*

Rebecca: **Home is where the heart is**

**Wherever you may be**

Meowzie: **There’ll always be a home for you**

Stellaluna: **Here inside of me**

*(During the song, Meowzie gently fluffed up Sophia’s pillow while Rebecca picked up a cookie jar and hands each four chocolate chip cookies to Milo, Sophia, Sky, and Molly, who enjoyed their own cookie)*

Stellaluna: **Home is where the heart is**

**And whatever we may do**

*(Just outside the room, the heroes, except Meowth’s group, Tiny, and Dingodile who are hearing the song in curiosity, have already went to their beds and climbed in them to get some sleep)*

Meowzie: **There’ll always be a part of me**

Rebecca: **Here inside of you**

*(Meowth’s group, Tiny, and Dingodile, while feeling interested and calmly happy at the song, then glanced at Ash’s gang and Crash’s group getting their shut-eye in their beds, with Crash, Sombra, and Gene magically shrinking themselves and their families to fit in a hanging bed for them to sleep together in. Then they quietly opened the door to the room, and not only listened in silently, but also watched this heartwarming moment between mothers and children)*

Rebecca, Meowzie, and Stellaluna: **Four walls may surround you**

**And protect you from a storm**

**But my two arms around you**

**Will keep you safe and warm**

*(Tiny, Dingodile, and Meowth’s group smiled softly, calmly touched and teary-eyed by this, that each of them begin to shed a couple of tears, for this reminded them of their old family lives before losing them before. Then they heard Molly, Sky, Milo, and Sophia speak up as soon as the song finished for now, making them calmly sad)*

Molly: But what if we’re not with you?

Sky: And come to think of it, what if we’re alone?

Milo and Sophia: Yeah?

*(Meowzie, Stellaluna, and Rebecca then gently reassured them as the song resumed, making the children and even the calmly touched Meowth’s group, Tiny, and Dingodile feel better)*

Meowzie, Stellaluna, and Rebecca: **Remember where my heart is**

**And you’ll always have a home**

*(Then Milo, Sophia, Sky, and Molly slowly and happily went to sleep while their mothers kissed them. Meowth’s group, Tiny, and Dingodile, still calmly touched, wiped their tears away with sniffles and upon hearing them, Meowzie, Stellaluna, and Rebecca noticed them, and seeing their touched, yet composed, reaction to their song for the children, went up to them reassuringly, giving each of them a cookie)*

Meowzie, Stellaluna, and Rebecca: **Remember where my heart is**

**And you’ll always have a home**

*(Meowzie, Stellaluna, and Rebecca happily winks at them as soon as they finished their song. Happily feeling better even more, Meowth’s group, Tiny, and Dingodile accepted their own cookie, went into Meowth’s group’s room, and went to bed after eating their own cookie. Then Meowzie, Stellaluna, and Rebecca, meanwhile, went to bed as well. After all is quiet at night, out in Crash’s group’s empty apartment, the villains quietly snuck in there, ready to begin their search. The next morning, the heroes, now in their daytime clothes and Crash's group back to their normal sizes again, have just finished their breakfast and then Meowth’s group, Tiny, and Dingodile looked at Meowzie, Stellaluna, and Rebecca, both sides smiling at each other)*

Jessie: Thanks for last night.

Dingodile: It really got us deep in a good way.

Tiny: Reminded us of our families.

Meowth’s group: Yeah.

Meowzie, Stellaluna, and Rebecca: (Nods) You’re welcome.

*(Then noticing Crash polishing the Tiki Scepter, the heroes got surprised)*

Toshiko: Why did you bring the Tiki Scepter here?

Crash: Aku-Aku sensed something bad might happen at our apartment, so we had to take it here.

Sombra: And easily hide it somewhere where they’ll never find it.

*(Understanding, the heroes got it)*

Mad Dog: Then where are you gonna hide the Tiki Scepter?

*(Noticing Molly’s doll, Lucy, Crash’s group got an idea. Noticing that, the heroes and even Molly got it as well)*

Gene: (Whispering) Molly, would the Tiki Scepter fit in your Lucy doll?

Molly: (Whispering) I think it can.

*(Then she opened the back of her Lucy doll via its zipper while Quackerjack, who pulled his Mr. Banana Brain doll out, accepted the Tiki Scepter from Crash and helped Molly insert it inside her Lucy doll)*

Molly: (Whispering reassuringly, to her Lucy doll) Don’t worry, Lucy, it’ll be alright. The Tiki Scepter won’t hurt you.

Quackerjack: (Whispering in agreement, playing along with his Mr. Banana Brain) Yeah, you’ll be fine. *(Whispering in his high-pitched voice)* Everything will be a-okay, stay.

*(Then once the Tiki Scepter is secured inside the Lucy doll, Molly then zipped up her Lucy doll, closing the now hidden Tiki Scepter up tight while Quackerjack puts his Mr. Banana Brain doll away)*

Molly: (To Quackerjack, impressed) You really know how to play imagination with toys, Quackerjack.

Quackerjack: (Flattered, shrugs, in his normal voice) Well, toys are my forte.

Patamon: Why else is he dressed like a jester and carries an anthro banana doll around for an imaginary friend?

Megavolt: Since he once didn’t have friends other than that banana doll and us members of Ash’s gang before?

*(Then the heroes heard a distant crashing coming from Crash’s group’s apartment and got suspicious)*

Jiji: What are those fiends up to now?

Biyomon: Don’t know.

Mimi: But we’re gonna find out.

Serena’s group, Kari, Palmon, and Gatomon: Right behind you.

*(Then just as they head out to investigate cautiously….)*

Heroes: Mimi, Kari, Palmon, Gatomon, and Princesses?

*(Serena’s group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon turned to them)*

Heroes: (Nods) Good luck.

Drake: And if something bad happens and if you also find out what’s causing the commotion, contact us.

Serena’s group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon: (Nods) Will do, guys.

*(Then with that, Serena’s group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon left to investigate Crash’s group’s apartment. A few minutes later, the heroes, except Don Karnage and his crew, waited and waited for Serena’s group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon to call them, but lately, nothing so far)*

Launchpad: Don’t you get the feeling Mimi, Palmon, Kari, Gatomon, and the princesses’ groups are gonna in danger?

Fenton: Possibly.

Tombo: Yet they have Keyblades.

Joe: Even we all feel that….

*(Suddenly, Ash’s watch beeped and he answered)*

Ash: Serena, girls?

*(No answer)*

Ash: Serena, girls? Come in!

*(Still no answer, much to their concern)*

Launchpad: I’m getting a gut-wrenching feeling something bad happened to Serena’s group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon.

*(Having that sinking feeling, too, the heroes then ran out of the palace to Crash’s group’s apartment in a hurry. Noticing that, Don Karnage and his crew got confused)*

Don Karnage: What is with the running around like bulls in a china shop?

Dumptruck: Something bad must’ve happened, Captain.

Mad Dog: And we’re gonna find out!

*(Then they and the crew, except Don Karnage, ran off to where the heroes are running to, much to Don Karnage’s annoyance)*

Don Karnage: (Annoyed) I despise not being brought up to late particular events.

*(Then he joined in the charge as well. Once at Crash’s group’s apartment, the heroes, after they noticed Don Karnage and his crew arriving, cautiously entered the building. After reaching Crash’s group’s apartment, they found the place a huge mess, much to their shock and concern)*

Crash: Our home! But what about Serena’s group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon?!

*(Then they begin searching around the apartment for Serena’s group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon, but to their concern, they’re nowhere to be found. Even strangely enough, Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs are nowhere to be found either)*

Ash: Serena, girls?!

Matt: Sora, girls?!

Tombo: Kiki, girls?!

Tai’s group: Where are you?!

Baloo: Oh, my gosh!

Dingodile: Where are you sheilas?!

Drake: They told you not to call them “Sheilas!”

Dingodile: Oh, sorry. Girls!

*(Then finally, Launchpad spotted a piece of paper hanging on a wall by a knife and after ripping it off the knife’s blade and the wall, he read it and got shocked in realization)*

Launchpad: Uh, Ash, DW, guys? Look.

*(The heroes noticed Launchpad holding the note and then Ash accepted the note from him and read it)*

Ash: (Reading) If you’re seeking Mimi, Palmon, Kari, Gatomon, and Princess Serena’s group, forget-about-it! We have th…. *(Shocked)* Have them?! *(Continues reading as the heroes got shocked as well)* If you want them back again, deliver the Tiki Scepter straight to us at our hideout, just in a desert cavern near Agrabah.
