Merlock's Group and their Henchmen Released/Dinner Disaster

*(Out in the desert that same night, the Wario Brothers, Ruggedo, Preed, and Hunter J are getting water from a familiar well while the thieves are nearby resting up)*

Wario: (Angrily) Oh, that lousy Bart and his sisters and friends.

Hunter J: (Angrily) They made fools out of us.

Waluigi: (Angrily) Utterly humiliated us!

Preed: (Angrily) Also forcing me to show that I give girly screams!

Hunter J: (Angrily) I agree, boys. And I really need to get Meowzie and Stellaluna back into our clutches again! Without them, I cannot stay alive and beautiful forever!

Preed: And I especially want Nadia back with me!

Wario Brothers and Ruggedo: You said it!

*(The thieves nearby are scheming, unknown to Wario's group)*

Thief 1: (Growling a bit) Those lousy leaders of ours!

Thief 3: Especially Dweed's girly screams!

Thief 2: When we get our hands on them, we will make them wish they're never born!

Thief 3: And I want that dork to scream one last girly scream when we do that!

Hunter J: Hey! Get over here and wash up!

Wario: We don't need an ugly *and* smelly gang of thieves!

Waluigi: Let alone dirty!

Thief 1: (Taking his sword out) It's time we vote for a new leader!

*(Wario picked up a bucket of water and dumped it all over his head. He yelped as something hard hits him and fell to the ground. He, Waluigi, Ruggedo, Preed, and Hunter J then spot the black lamp, the one that hit Wario's head, on the ground that Wario picked up)*

Wario: What's this?

Hunter J: Looks like a magic lamp.

Waluigi: Looks like its genie can grant us wishes.

Ruggedo: I'll say.

Preed and Hunter J: Probably.

*(Wario begins to rub the lamp with his hand. Then he yelped as the thieves came to him and his group with their swords)*

Hunter J: (Pulling her sword out) Turning against us, eh?

Ruggedo: (Pulling his sword out) We like to see you try!

Preed: (Pulling his gun out) Bring it on!

Thief 1: We are putting you out of your misery!

*(Before the first thief could strike the six, however, red smoke came out of the black lamp and scared the thieves, making them drop their swords)*

Thief 3: Witchcraft!

*(Then some evil laughter came from the black lamp which scared the Wario Brothers and Ruggedo while Preed and Hunter J are the only ones unafraid, just surprised calmly. The laughter grew louder as seven familiar figures appeared in the sky and a familiar dark anthro duck, a familiar Arabian anthro dog, a familiar man with a palmtree-styled hairstyle, a familiar half anthro bull, half cyborg, a familiar goth-wearing paint magic-wielding anthro duck, a familiar corpse-like priest, and a familiar anthro tiger landed on the ground upon emerging from the black lamp. It is Merlock's group, consisting Merlock, Malomyotismon (Myotismon's genie form), Vanitas, Xehanort, Vicious the Iron-Masked Marauder, Drake AKA the Penguin Yokai, and Ratigan AKA the Phantom Mouse. And the dark anthro duck, Arabian anthro dog, man with his palmtree-styled hairstyle, half anthro bull, half cyborg, goth-wearing paint magic-wielding anthro duck, corpse-like priest, and anthro tiger are none other than Negaduck, Dijon, Robert "Sideshow Bob" Terwilliger, Taurus Bulba, Splatter Phoenix, Rasputin, and Shere Khan respectively)*

Vanitas: YES!!

Merlock: We are free!

Malomyotismon: At last!

Xehanort: Free to get revenge on the ones who dared imprisoned us!

Vicious: Exactly!

*(Negaduck, Rasputin, Bulba, Splatter Phoenix, Dijon, Bob, and Shere Khan recovered and agreed)*

Dijon: Uh, way ahead of ya!

Negaduck: Let's get those fools!

Bob and Shere Khan: Come!

Splatter Phoenix: Like they said!

*(The villains tried to fly away, carrying Negaduck, Rasputin, Bob, Shere Khan, and Dijon, while Splatter Phoenix and Bulba flew beside them on her magic paintbrush like it's a hoverboard and his jetpack respectively, but Malomyotismon's group's big auras around their shackle-like wristbands restrained them. They stopped and, along with their henchmen, looks shocked)*

Vanitas: (Groans a bit) We should've remembered.

Ratigan: It is the curse of the lamp.

Xehanort: We got all the power of the universe at our command.

Drake: Yet we are now stuck by the three genie rules!

Merlock: That also means we can't kill those boys.

Malomyotismon: That's correct.

Shere Khan: (While he, Bob, Dijon, Negaduck, and Rasputin were dropped off on the ground by Merlock's group) And even if we henchmen tried to do it for you....

Rasputin: (Agreeing) We would get caught easily.

*(The villains noticed Wario's gang and smirked evilly as they see a shocked Wario's gang and amazed Preed and Hunter J)*

Merlock: But I bet someone else can help us do so, guys.

*(The seven flew down to Wario's gang, nearly scaring Ruggedo, the Wario Brothers, and Wario's thieves out of their wits, even making Ruggedo and the Wario Brothers drop their swords. Preed and Hunter J, on the other hand, slowly realized who Merlock's group and their henchmen are)*

Preed: Wait a minute....

Hunter J: You guys....

Merlock's group: We want you thieves to take us to Agrabah, NOW!!

*(The Wario Brothers, Ruggedo, and the thieves screamed as they began to stutter non-stop a bit. Preed and Hunter J, again on the other hand, realized who those genies and their henchman are)*

Hunter J: (To Wario's gang) Quit being such scaredy-cats! *(Points at Merlock's group)* This is actually my husband, son, and their group.

Preed: (Agreeing) Old comrades.

*(Ruggedo, the Wario Brothers, and thieves got confused that they stopped being scared while Hunter J and Preed put their sword and gun away respectively)*

Wario's gang: (Confused) What?

*(Merlock's group noticed Hunter J and Preed and they recognized each other with calm evil smirks)*

Vanitas: Ah, Mother and Preed.

Negaduck: Good to see you again.

Merlock's group: I'll say.

Preed: Indeed.

Hunter J: But uh, Vanitas, how did you and Myotismon become genies along with Merlock, Xehanort, Drake, Ratigan, and Vicious suddenly?

Preed: And where's the rest of the loser goons?

*(Merlock's group poofed into red smoke and changed back into their normal forms, with Malomyotismon being Myotismon again)*

Merlock: First off, who rubbed our lamp?

*(Preed and Hunter J pointed at Wario)*

Hunter J and Preed: He did.

Ruggedo: Time out!

Wario: *That* is your husband, son, and Merlock's group and their goons the whole time?

Waluigi: How could we not have known?

Thief 4: Good question.

Negaduck: (Flatly) You are amazed, I'm sure.

Shere Khan: (Nonchalantly) Indeed.

Bob: (Nonchalantly) Impressed by our new magic.

Wario: (Looking at the black lamp) If that means I rubbed the lamp....

Waluigi: (Realizing with Wario and Ruggedo) Then you hold the wishes!

Preed: Thus, you're their master who gets the wishes alone.

Ruggedo: That is cool!

Dijon: Indeed!

Merlock: Three wishes to be our precise.

Ratigan: As part of the job for us.

Myotismon: But before we do that, I wish for you thieves to take the lamp to Agrabah.

Hunter J: (Smirking evilly in agreement) So you would need me, Preed, and them.

Preed: (Smirking evilly in agreement) Very well. We will take you to Agrabah.

Wario: But first.... I want my wishes.

*(Merlock's group and their henchmen got calmly surprised at first, and then Merlock's group angrily fired energy blasts at Wario's gang, except the annoyed Hunter J and Preed, who screams a bit as he and his gang dodged them. A short pause, then, while Wario's gang regathered and put away their dropped swords, Merlock's group, their henchmen, Hunter J, and Preed smiled evilly)*

Vanitas: Very well.

Xehanort: Since that is the case....

Drake: You will have your three wishes.

Dijon: Wario, you can wish for anything you want!

Waluigi and Ruggedo: That's right!

Merlock's group: Almost everything he wants.

Dijon, Ruggedo, and Wario Brothers: Eh?

Shere Khan: Have you forgotten the three cardinal genie rules?

Hunter J: Preed and I happen to have read about genie magic before.

Preed: The three rules are; Never kill anyone, never force someone to fall in love with someone else, and never bring people back from the dead.

Wario: (Determinedly) And I know just what I want! *(Pondering*) I want riches, treasures.... *(Perks up)* I know! I wish for the legendary treasure of Blackbeard!

Merlock's group: (Bowing) Your wish is our command.

*(They all poof away. Later, they appeared underwater in a sunken ship. Alarmed upon appearing with the villains, Ruggedo and the Wario Brothers swam around, but looked horrified as they see an octopus' three tentacles trying to grab them. They tried to swim away only to be grabbed)*

Vanitas: So, enjoying your wish?

*(Ruggedo and the Wario Brothers shook their heads in alarm)*

Vicious: Maybe you want us to grant your wish to return to the desert.

*(Ruggedo and the Wario Brothers nodded quickly)*

Merlock's group: Your wish is our command.

*(Merlock's group then poofed themselves, their henchmen, and Wario's gang back to the desert, causing the octopus to vanish, freeing Ruggedo and the Wario Brothers from the three tentacles. Wario's gang then spits out some water)*

Hunter J: (To Wario) Note to yourself, be careful what you wish for.

Myotismon and Vanitas: She's right.

Merlock: You used up two wishes.

Xehanort: Take your time with the third.

Negaduck: And that is to set Merlock, Myotismon, Vanitas, Xehanort, Drake, Ratigan, and Vicious free from the lamp.

Splatter Phoenix: (To Negaduck, in agreement) Right.

Vanitas: (To Wario's gang) Of course, if you help us with our plan of revenge, we will make sure you will be rewarded.

Wario's gang: We are?

Thief 2: That's nice.

Merlock: (Darkly) We want you to help us get revenge on a boy by the name of.... Bart Simpson. Along with his sisters and friends.

Ratigan: (Darkly) The ones who put us in this position.

Wario's group: (Surprised) Bart and his sisters and friends?!

Waluigi: (Angrily) You aren't the only ones who want revenge on those boys and girls!

Hunter J: Heck, they took away my fountains of youth, Stellaluna and Meowzie!

Preed: (To Merlock's group, angrily) And took away my harem girl, Nadia! *(To us, nonchalantly)* As well as, unfortunately, made me scream like a girl like I mentioned earlier.

*(Merlock's group, hearing the three say that, got interested in calm shock and surprise)*

Vanitas: I take it those three girls got away from you because of those boys and girls?

Hunter J: (To Vanitas) Yep. *(To Myotismon)* And you actually placed me under a spell that if both Stellaluna and Meowzie's pendants are destroyed, I will die with the pendants.

Myotismon: True.

Vanitas: And rest assured, it'll never happen.

Hunter J: Oh, not to worry, it won't. I tricked them both into believing they'll lose their magic if they destroyed the pendants so they won't get rid of them and get away from me.

Bulba: But from what I just sensed with my new scanners, the two figured out your lies. And I especially detect Preed's.... Stalkerism towards Nadia.

*(Hearing him, Hunter J and Preed glared bitterly)*

Preed: So *that's* why they ran away a week ago!

Hunter J: Because of the truth!

Preed: And my "Stalkerism!" All because of those boys and girls, they're out of our grasp!

*(Wario took his sword out and swings it a few times)*

Wario: And those brats also sure made fools out of us in front of our own men! We'd fight him to the bitter end! And my brilliant swordsmanship will never fail me!

*(Dijon, however, after Wario swung his sword close to the former's waist which results in his pants coming down, revealing his underwear, much to the villains' annoyance)*

Bob: (Flatly) Let me help you with that.

*(As Bob helps Dijon get his pants back up, Merlock's group smiled sinisterly)*

Merlock: My group and I are glad you see things our way.

Vanitas: And once those wretched fools are gone, no one can stop us from dominating Agrabah first and then take over the world.

Hunter J and Preed: You said it.

*(Then they began to use their magic as a song began)*

Merlock: **I know that your powers of retention**

**Are as wet as a cobra's backside**

Vanitas: **But thick as you are....**

*(He noticed the second thief drowsily falling asleep when he slaps him awake, making him snap awake and salute)*

Vanitas: **Pay attention**

Xehanort: **Our words are a matter of pride**

Negaduck: **It's clear from your vacant expressions**

Myotismon: **The lights are not all on upstairs**

Shere Khan: **But we're talking sultans and successions**

*(The thieves snicker a bit at this, but Merlock's group, Hunter J, and Preed glared at them, making them pipe down)*

Xehanort: **Even *you* can't be caught unawares**

*(On "Unawares," Xehanort and Bob shoved the thieves into some magic geysers Xehanort conjured and then the geysers sent the thieves flying into the air and onto the ground)*

Merlock's group: **So prepare for a chance of a lifetime**

**Be prepared for sensational news**

**A shining new era**

**Is tiptoeing nearer**

Ruggedo and Wario Brothers: **And where do we feature?**

Hunter J and Preed: (Pinching the three's cheeks) **Just listen to teachers**

Merlock's group, Hunter J, and Preed: **We know it sounds sordid**

**But you'll be rewarded**

**When at last we are given our dues**

*(Then understanding, Ruggedo and the Wario Brothers joined in)*

Merlock and Wario's groups: **And injustice deliciously squared**

**Be prepared**

*(Just before "Be prepared," Ruggedo and Bob kicked two thieves down into a pile of fake snakes Vanitas conjured. After recovering, the thieves got interested and then confused)*

Thief 1: (Determinedly) Yeah! Be prepared!

Thief 2: (Determinedly) We'll be prepared!

Thief 3: (Confused) But for what?

Merlock: For the deaths of the meddlers.

Thief 3: (Dumbfounded) Why? Are they sick?

Vanitas: (Grabbing the third thief's shirt's neck rim) No, fool. We're gonna kill them.

Xehanort: And then have Wario wish me and the genie-turned Merlock's group free.

*(Vanitas released the third thief)*

Ruggedo and Wario Brothers: Great idea!

Thief 4: Who needs sultans?

Thieves: No sultans, no sultans, na-na-na-na-na!

Merlock and Wario's groups: IDIOTS!!

Hunter J: There *will* be sultans!

Thief 2: But you said....

Merlock and Wario's groups: *We* will be sultans.

Merlock: Stick with us, and you'll never go broke again.

*(The thieves cheered a bit)*

Thieves: Long live the sultans!

*(They they marched around in respect)*

Thieves: **It's great that we'll soon be connected**

**With some sultans who'll be all-time adored**

Ruggedo: **Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected**

Wario: **To take certain duties on board**

Waluigi: That's right.

Hunter J, Preed, Rasputin, and Bob: **The future is littered with prizes**

Merlock: **And though we're the main addressees**

Myotismon and Vanitas: **The point that we must emphasize is**

*(They end the marching and shouts in the thieves' faces)*

Merlock and Wario's groups: **YOU WON'T GET ANY GOLD WITHOUT US**

*(Then they did their grand finale to the song)*

Merlock's group and Wario's gang: **So prepare for the *coup* of the century**

**Be prepared for the murkiest scam**

**(La, la, la)**

**Meticulous planning**

**(We'll have loot)**

**Tenacity spanning**

**(Lots of loot)**

**Decades of denial**

**(We repeat)**

**Is simply why we'll**

**(Endless treasures)**

**Be sultans undisputed**

**Respected, saluted**

**And seen for the wonder we are**

**Yes, our magic and ambitions are bared**

**Be prepared**

**Yes, our magic and ambitions are bared**

**Be prepared**

*(The villains laughed evilly a bit as the song ended and we fade to black. Back at the palace after we crossfade back to it, the heroes, except Mushu, Cri-Kee, Pikachu, Eevee, Maggie, Milhouse, and Leo's group, and even Volteer, Grace, Squall Leonhart, Rinoa Heartilly, Eraqus, and Erika themselves watched at dinner as Discord, B.E.N., and Gene perform their tricks)*

Gene: Watch carefully everyone!

Discord: B.E.N., Gene, and I got this trick from many Japanese places!

B.E.N.: And this is how they do it!

*(Picking up a carrot, Discord then chopped it into pieces with his knife along with B.E.N. and Gene)*

Discord's group: Hi-ya!

*(They do it over and over again, making everyone chuckle a bit. This continues until a slicing noise is heard. Discord had magically cut his hand off)*

Discord: (Sheepishly) Oops!

*(Discord's hand stood up all of the sudden and made a cane appeared in its fingers. It then proceeds in doing a jig for everyone, even amusing Volteer's group some more as they and everyone applauded a bit)*

Volteer: (Laughing a bit) As usual, Discord, this is the most amusing trick ever along with Sombra and Gene.

Gilda: Especially since they're magical.

Karl: Yep!

Lokina: Good ol' Uncle B.E.N., Dad, and Gene.

Skinner: (Nods in agreement proudly) Very good.

Discord's group: Thanks. (Thank you.)

Discord: Allow me to pull myself together.

*(As Discord screws his hand back on, Volteer's group turned to Bart's group with smiles)*

Volteer: Now onto more personal matters.

Grace: Bart's group, you have proven to be quite the fine people and bravest heroes in all mine, Volteer, and our group's years as rulers of Agrabah.

Eraqus: We have never seen anyone with much good charisma as you before, the way you have skills that are helpful.

Erika: Even in dire situations.

Squall: Which really impressed us.

Rinoa: Indeed.

Volteer's group: So, that's why we are going to make you boys, besides being the Merry Team, our trusted advisors.

Bart's group: (Surprised) What? Us?

Chalmers: That's correct!

Mabel's group: Isn't it great?

*(Discord and B.E.N. appeared next to Bart's group excitedly)*

B.E.N.: Wow! What a great moment!

Discord: I'll say!

*(B.E.N. then transforms Bart's group's clothes into black tuxedos and gave them neat slick hair)*

Discord: Guys, allow me and B.E.N. to give you this great honor!

*(He gives Bart's group some sort of golden awards before B.E.N. shook their hands. Then they turned into sellers who are giving out many stuff to them)*

B.E.N.: (Shouting) Bart's group supplies!

Discord: (Shouting) Get your Bart's group supplies here!

*(As Bart's group watched on in calm surprise and everyone else chuckled a bit at this, Discord's group is now wearing royal attire and Discord is blowing on a horn)*

Discord's family: All hail Bart's group, the trusted advisors!

*(Discord transforms Bart's group, including his family and their group, back to normal as they go over to Volteer's group)*

Karl: So Volteer, guys?

Lokina: What do your trusted advisors do for you?

Eraqus: To put it simply, they will be our most trusted assistant advisors, of course.

Willie: Wouldn't it be grand, lads?

Erika: To be working in the palace for us besides fighting evil and stopping crimes out in the world?

Bart's group: Well....

Gilda: Of course it's a good idea.

B.E.N.: Barty's group *is*, definitely, a better idea.

Gene: They are much better than those creeps, Merlock, Myotismon, Vanitas, Xehanort, Drake, Ratigan, Vicious, and Negaduck!

*(Gene then changes his head into Merlock, Myotismon, Vanitas, Xehanort, Drake, Ratigan, Vicious, and Negaduck on each respective name he says and makes mean faces)*

Erika: (Frowning nonchalantly) That is quite correct.

Discord: Not to mention their creepy, jerky henchmen, Dijon, Sideshow Bob, Splatter Phoenix, Rasputin, Shere Khan, Fidget, Bartok, the Fearsome Four, and Team Rocket!

*(Bart's group's eyes secretly widened in shock as they hear Fidget, Bartok, Team Rocket, and the Fearsome Four's names. Even Darkwing, the Stallion Eight, Mane Eight, Spike, Ember, Skinner, Chalmers, Willie, Stellaluna, Nadia, and Meowzie got secretly calmly concerned while Skinner, Chalmers, and Willie gathered some food for Mushu's group outside and then left with Santa's Little Helper)*

B.E.N.: They are mean!

Bart's group who trust Meowth's group: (Nervously) Uh, B.E.N.?

B.E.N.: (Ignoring Bart's group who trust Meowth's group) They are very very bad!

*(B.E.N. turns his head into Meowth's and got in Volteer's face)*

B.E.N.: (Mockingly imitating Meowth) Poppy want fishes, poppy want fishes?

*(He then changes his head back to normal)*

Discord: You remember what happened, right?

Volteer: (Angrily) That is right! I can still taste the fish chunks he forced down my throat!

Grace: (Calming him down) Volteer, calm down!

*(Realizing his temper from Grace's line, especially when his group cleared their throats in agreement, Volteer calmed his anger down)*

Volteer: (Calming down) Sorry. *(Calmly happy again along with Discord's group)* But other than that, that's in the past.

*(Discord's group laughs a bit as they pulled Bart's group into a hug)*

Discord: Yep! That's my pals, Bart's group, who is not going to be seen with guys like them!

B.E.N.: Nope! No way!

Bart: (Chuckles sheepishly a bit along with his group who trust Meowth's group) Uh, yeah....

*(Back outside, Mushu, Cri-Kee, Pikachu, Eevee, Milhouse, Maggie, and Leo's group are still guarding the hidden cage, with Mushu looking bored. Then the eleven heard Meowth's group's voices from underneath)*

James: (Voice-over, whispering) Hey, Mushu, guys?

Bushroot: (Voice-over, whispering) Is it okay to come out yet?

Fidget: (Voice-over, whispering) Any sign of revealing us yet?

Mushu: (Whispering) Nope.

Milhouse: (Whispering) Afraid not.

Pikachu: (Whispering, shaking his head no with Maggie in agreement) Pika.

Megavolt: (Voice-over, whispering) Aw, nuts!

Bartok: (Voice-over, whispering) We're getting bored now!

Fidget: (Voice-over, whispering) I hope Bart and the others have told the palace residents by now.

Meowth: (Voice-over, whispering) Why haven't they told them yet?

Jessie: (Voice-over, whispering) Probably because they need to make the time right.

Liquidator: (Voice-over, whispering) Because 10 out of all 10 psychology experts say that those who want to reveal their secrets need to make the timing right.

Megavolt: (Voice-over, whispering) But despite what you just said, Licky, this is taking forever.

Bartok: (Voice-over, whispering) Just have patience.

Quackerjack: (Voice-over, whispering) Yeah, like Bartok just said, have patience, Sparky.

Megavolt: (Voice-over, almost loudly) DO...! *(Voice-over, changes to whispering upon Bartok's shushing was heard)* Don't call me "Sparky!"

Bartok: (Voice-over, whispering) You don't want us to get caught immediately, don't you?

Megavolt: (Voice-over, whispering) Sorry.

Leo: (Whispering) Well, I don't know if they did or not, but....

Crescent: (Whispering) I believe they will.

Meowth: (Voice-over, whispering) Are there any air vents in this chamber?

Jessie: (Voice-over, whispering) I feel like we're suffocating down here.

Winter: (Whispering) There are.

Chirithy: (Whispering) Rest assured.

*(Cri-Kee and Eevee quietly chirps a bit in agreement reassuringly. Meowth's group is then heard sighing in relief)*

Meowth's group: (Voice-over, whispering) Oh, good.

*(Then Santa's Little Helper, Skinner, Chalmers, and Willie arrived with some food)*

Willie: (Whispering) Here's your dinner.

Milhouse: (Whispering, while he and Mushu's group accepted the food) Thanks.

*(Suddenly, Raksha, Dipper, Lillipup, and Lollie and Scrooge's groups, except Gene, approached Mushu, Cri-Kee, Pikachu, Eevee, Maggie, Santa's Little Helper, Milhouse, Skinner, Chalmers, Willie, and Leo's group in confusion)*

Raksha: Mushu, who are you and the others talking to?

Lollie: And why did you, Skinner, bring their dinner out to them?

Dipper: When they *should* be inside with us, eating dinner?

Scrooge: What's up?

*(Mushu's group, Skinner, Chalmers, Willie, and Santa's Little Helper got nervous)*

Mushu: (To Raksha, Lollie, and Dipper, nervously) Talking? Oh, just me and my buddies' imaginary friend here.

Molly: (Confused) What imaginary friend?

Mushu: (To Dipper and Scrooge's groups, casually) Oh, you know how some people can have imaginary friends. *(To his group, Skinner, Chalmers, Willie, and Santa's Little Helper)* Right?

Milhouse: (Agreeing) Oh, yeah.

Leo: (To the air, agreeing) Say, isn't this a beautiful night, hoping to have dinner Skinner, Chalmers, Willie, and Santa's Little Helper brought us?

*(Mushu gobbled his food down like a chipmunk while Milhouse and Maggie ate their own strawberries in one bite and gulp)*

Milhouse: Mmm...! So delicious!

*(Even Maggie nervously nods in agreement)*

Pikachu: (Nervously happy in agreement) Pikachu!

*(Even Eevee and Cri-Kee chirps nervously a bit in agreement)*

Mushu: (Swallows his food, then casually) So, there's nothing wrong about that.

Lollie: What's going on, guys?

Dipper: Are you hiding something from us?

Lobo: If you are, tell us what it is.

Scrooge: Aye, tell us the truth.

*(Mushu hesitated. Then Raksha sighed while Dipper's group got suspicious)*

Raksha: Please, no more secrets.

Huey: You can tell us.

Webby: If you do, we won't tell anyone either.

Lollie: We mean it.

*(Shaking a bit with Pikachu, Eevee, Cri-Kee, Santa's Little Helper, and Maggie, Mushu, Milhouse, Skinner, and Leo's group finally cracked)*

Mushu: Okay, we're talking with some new friends!

Skinner: We just met them today.

Leo's group: They're in the cage below us.

Dipper and Scrooge's groups: (While they got interested) Some new friends?

Milhouse: They're nice guys.

Pikachu: (Agreeing) Pika.

Raksha: Well, can we see who they are?

Dewey: We like to meet them.

Dipper: Show us.

*(Mushu and Skinner gulped, unsure what to say along with the others while the animals with Dipper's group got eager. Then Scrooge went over to the button and, to Mushu's group, Skinner, Chalmers, Willie, and Santa's Little Helper's concern, he pushed it. And then the cage rose up and, then to Mushu's group, Skinner, Chalmers, Willie, and Santa's Little Helper's relief, the cage is empty. Dipper and Scrooge's groups got confused)*

Lollie: (Confused) I thought you said your new friends are in there.

Raksha: (Confused) And if they *were* here, where are they?

Scrooge: (Realizes something, then teasingly) Were you lollygaggers just joking around? If so, dinnae worry.

*(Mushu, Milhouse, and Skinner laughed nervously a bit while Pikachu, Eevee, Maggie, and Cri-Kee giggled nervously a bit)*

Mushu: (Nervously) Yeah, we were!

Milhouse: We were actually just joking around!

Chalmers: And for the record, any good joke can lead to me screaming....

*(Suddenly, a sneeze is heard. They turned and saw, to Dipper and Scrooge's groups' horror and Mushu's group, Skinner, Chalmers, Willie, and Santa's Little Helper's shock and concern, Meowth's group, out of the cage, for it turned out they secretly snuck out via a secret trapdoor behind the cage's underground location due to the cage bars being wide and having no vertical bars blocking the openings)*

Dipper and Scrooge's groups: (Shocked with Lillipup) Fidget, Bartok, Team Rocket, and the Fearsome Four?!

Meowth's group: (Nervously) Uh, hi there.

Bartok: (Nervously) Nice evening, isn't it?

*(Then Dipper and Scrooge's groups got angrily determined)*

Raksha: (While Lillipup angrily growled a bit in determination) Wait until we get everyone after we chase you to them!

Scrooge and Dipper's group: (Angrily in determination) Come here, you little troublemaking losers!

Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby: (Angrily) Get them!

*(They charged towards the palace, chasing a screaming Meowth's group, much to Mushu's group, Skinner, Chalmers, Willie, and Santa's Little Helper's concern)*

Mushu and Milhouse: Oh, boy!

Willie and Leo's group: Not good!

Pikachu: (Calling out to them) Pikachu!

(Chalmers glared at Skinner)

Chalmers: SKINNER!! Did you forget to lock the trapdoor behind the cage's spot?!

Skinner: (Sheepishly and ashamed) Uh, yes, I did.

*(Then they, Mushu's group, Willie, and Santa's Little Helper hurried after them. Inside the palace, Meowth's group continued running as Dipper and Scrooge's groups chased them)*

Meowth's group: HELP!!

*(Mushu's group, Skinner, Chalmers, Willie, and Santa's Little Helper caught up to Dipper and Scrooge's groups, but the two latter groups lunged forward and while they knocked Meowth's group into some nearby vases, Raksha caught Bartok in her jaws. By this time, they find themselves sliding on their bellies right into the dining room. Discord, B.E.N., and Gene turned and teleported themselves and Discord's family away just as Dipper and Scrooge's groups crashed into the dining table, ruining dinner. Then as Discord, B.E.N., Gene, Gilda, Karl, and Lokina returned, everyone glared at Dipper and Scrooge's groups, who got concerned upon recovering)*

Mabel's group: (Scoldingly) Guys!

Kairi: (Scoldingly) What were you animals thinking, running in here?!

Serena: (Scoldingly) You know you aren't supposed to tear around the palace like that!

Mabel: (Scoldingly) Especially encouraging Dipper and Scrooge's group to join in!

*(Bart's group who trust Meowth's group saw Meowth's group hidden in the vases and Bartok hidden in Raksha's mouth and she and Dipper and Scrooge's groups were about speak)*

Dipper and Scrooge's groups except Raksha: But it wasn't our fault!

Raksha: (Her mouth full) You don't under...!

*(Mushu's group, Skinner, Chalmers, Willie, and Santa's Little Helper came in, cutting them off)*

Skinner, Chalmers, Willie, and Mushu's group except Pikachu, Eevee, Cri-Kee, and Maggie: Bart, guys! (lads and lasses!)

Pikachu: (Concerned) Pikapi, pika!

Volteer: (Confused) Uh, Bart, what are Dipper and Scrooge's groups trying to say?

Squall and Eraqus: (Confused) What's going on?

*(The group who trust Meowth's group, now seeing the jig is up, let Bart try to explain)*

Launchpad: Bart, tell them.

Lisa: (Nods) You heard him.

Scrooge: (Dumbfounded) Tell us what?

Dipper: (Dumbfounded) What the heck is going on?

Bart: (After giving a nod to Launchpad and Lisa) Okay, listen. Dipper and Scrooge's groups are telling us....

*(Meowth's group falls over, breaking free from their vases while Raksha spits Bartok into an empty bowl on the knocked over table and to the residents', who didn't know Meowth's group's redemption, shock, they saw them finally)*

Bart's group who trust Meowth's group: (Sheepishly) Fidget, Bartok, Team Rocket, and the Fearsome Four are here.

*(Then the palace residents who don't know, except a shocked Dipper and Scrooge's groups, Grace, Rinoa, and Erika, got angry)*

Palace residents who don't know: Fidget, Bartok, Team Rocket, and Fearsome Four?!

Volteer, Squall, and Eraqus: Guards! Get them!

*(Don Karnage, Mad Dog, Dumptruck, Gibber, and their crew arrived, pulling their swords out. Meowth's group got scared and tried to reason with them)*

Meowth's group: Wait, you don't...! (Mercy!)

Don Karnage: Save it for the dungeon!

*(Suddenly Darkwing's group, Skinner, Chalmers, and Willie jumped in and stopped Don Karnage)*

Darkwing's group, Skinner, Chalmers, and Willie: Don't you dare!

*(Then Bart's group who trust Meowth's group came to Meowth's group's aid)*

Don Karnage: What be the meaning of this, my palace residents, guards, and street rat's group?!

Volteer's group: (Surprised) DW, guys?!

Dipper and Scrooge: (Surprised) Even Skinner, Chalmers, and Willie?!

Bart: Listen to what we have to say, please!

Lisa: There is *definitely* a good reason why...!

Don Karnage: And why should we listen to your no-goody-two-shoed excuses?

Dumptruck: Actually, they might have a good reason to be here.

Lisa: (Gestures haughtily) Thank you, Dumptruck!

Meowth's group: (Desperately nodding) Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Don Karnage: There's no need for time-wasting explanations until...!

*(Then, to his surprise, Volteer's group quieted him)*

Grace: Don Karnage, be quiet.

Rinoa: Let them speak.

Erika: *Before* we jump to conclusions.

Volteer: (To Don Karnage) Our wives have a point.

Eraqus: (To Bart's group who trust Meowth's group) Now, why are Fidget, Bartok, Team Rocket, and the Fearsome Four here?

Squall: Tell us from beginning to end.

*(Later, all was explained and the palace residents, except a livid Mabel, Serena, Kairi, Namine, Xion, Aqua, and Olette and suspicious Don Karnage, Mad Dog, Dumptruck, Gibber, and their crew, understood. They were now told of Meowth's group's redemption)*

Volteer, Squall, and Eraqus: So that explains it.

Grace, Rinoa, and Erika: And come to think of it....

*(They looked at Meowth)*

Grace: You actually hesitated on eating fishes my husband dished out at you, Meowth.

Meowth: (Nods) Yep. It's cooked fish I like to eat independently, not raw fish, especially not having them shoved down my throat.

Erika: (To Fidget) And you, Fidget and Bartok, come to think of it, actually loved being fed strawberries.

Fidget: (Nods) Yep. Strawberries are, after all, mine and Bartok's favorite fruit besides apples.

Bartok: (Agreeing) We eat little meat every now and then for protein, despite my being a vegetarian.

Dumptruck: And you were the only ones who looked reluctant to take over Agrabah with the fiends after you were told of your useless reward they pretended to promise you.

Don Karnage and Mad Dog: (While Gibber growled a bit in annoyance) Dumptruck!

Dumptruck: (To Don Karnage, Mad Dog, and Gibber, sheepishly) Sorry.

Meowzie: And like we just told you, they are homeless, abused, and treated like dirt by Merlock's group and their other henchmen.

Stellaluna: So come on.

Nadia: If you find it in your hearts, just give them another chance.

*(The palace residents, except Mabel, Serena, Kairi, Namine, Xion, Aqua, and Olette, now deciding to accept Meowth's group, contemplated and then gave in with smiles)*

Volteer's group: Bart, guys?

*(Bart's group listened)*

Volteer: Thank you for telling us.

Grace: For once, we're glad you brought nine former enemies in.

Lollie: Especially those that love to eat cooked fish instead of raw fish independently.

Dipper and Scrooge's groups: And love strawberries.

*(Bart's group smiled, glad to hear that. Then Volteer's group noticed the mess from the dinner disaster and chuckled sheepishly a bit along with Dipper and Scrooge's groups)*

Eraqus: Our wives and us will have the servants clean up.

Erika: Yeah.

*(Don Karnage, Mad Dog, Gibber, and their crew scoffed while Dumptruck just happily waved goodbye to Meowth's group)*

Don Karnage: (To Meowth's group, under his breath) Riffraffs.

*(Then he, Mad Dog, Dumptruck, Gibber, and their crew, left. Bart's group, unaware of how angry Mabel's group still is, sighed in relief)*

Ash: Man, I thought we were done for.

Riku: I'll say.

*(Noticing Mabel's group's anger, everyone got concerned)*

Roxas: Is something the matter?

Fluttershy: Why are you seven so angry?

*(Bart's group noticed and got confused)*

Sora: What's with...?

Mabel's group: (Angrily) You were hiding Meowth's group all along, weren't you?!

*(The palace residents got shocked at Mabel's group's snap and accusation)*

Bart's group: Mabel, girls, please!

Bart: We wanted to tell you, but....

Aqua: We don't want to hear it!

Xion: We want to be alone for a while!

Namine and Olette: Yeah!

*(Then Mabel's group began to storm off. They looked back, looking sadly at their lovers)*

Serena: And we thought you changed.

Everyone: But...!

*(Unfortunately, Mabel's group stormed out of the room. Bart's group sat back down sadly as everyone looked at them in concern)*

Bart: Man, we are going to make some lousy "Trusted" advisors.

Ash: Yeah,

Sora: Mabel's group hates us now.

Volteer: Don't worry about Mabel's group.

Grace: Volteer's group and I believe they don't hate you.

Karl: Yeah, they're only a little steamed!

*(Discord magically conjures a teapot. He then poured some tea into a cup he also conjured up)*

Discord: Just give those gals time to cool down, that's all.

Lokina: Want a cup of tea?

*(Bart's group stared at Lokina and frowns sadly)*

Lokina: (Concerned) Not helping, huh?

Gilda: Afraid not, dear.

*(Lokina tries to offer it to the others, but they politely refused it)*

Kaya: (In concern, noticing Bart's group still depressed) Bart, guys?

Ralph: (In concern) You okay?

Sora, Roxas, Riku, Terra, and Ventus: (Sighs) We don't get it.

Ash: Every time our sisters, friends, and us try to do the right thing, it blows up in our faces.

Bart: Never works out for us.

*(With a sigh, Bart's group then turned and left the room as well as everyone watched in concern)*

Dipper and Scrooge's groups: We're really sorry, Mushu, everyone.

Raksha: It's our fault my masters are angry at Bart's group.

*(Lillipup gave a soft apologetic bark in agreement)*

Webby: We didn't mean for it to happen.

Dipper: And I especially never seen my twin sister *that* angry before like that.

Mushu: Actually, you're not the only ones at fault.

*(Meowth's group looked concerned, but then to their amazement, nobody blamed them)*

Mushu: It was partly the rest of us at fault even.

Chalmers: My sentiments exactly.

Meowth's group: It was?

*(The ones responsible for Mabel's group getting angry at Bart's group nodded)*

Skinner: But maybe there could be a way....

Meowth: Hey, you guys shouldn't blame yourselves.

Bartok: Meowth's group and I should be the ones at fault.

Fidget: In other words, we should be the sorry ones.

*(Gene transforms into Jiminy Cricket)*

Gene: (Imitating Jiminy) Let's not blame ourselves. Just let your consciences be your guides.

Jessie: No, no. If the princesses don't want us here, we'll leave you.

Quackerjack: If they insist.

Bartok: And we'll go wallow in self-pity for all we care.

*(Meowth's group tried to leave when suddenly Discord's group appeared in front of them with B.E.N. as a Jack-in-the-Box. Megavolt screams a bit in alarm as he and the alarmed Meowth's group fell to the ground)*

Megavolt: (Alarmed in anger) Geez! Are you trying to give us heart attacks?!

Bartok: (Angrily) He has a point! My little sister, Olga, once had a heart attack from that kind of surprise attack, but she thankfully lived after being saved from that!

*(Discord then transformed himself and Gilda into a doctor and nurse respectively while B.E.N. changed back to normal and held up an X-Ray in front of Meowth's group's bodies. Sure enough, there's their hearts, and all of them in good shape even. Then Discord and Gilda changed back)*

Gilda: You really *have* good hearts.

Discord: Physically *and* psychologically.

Meowzie: And if you didn't, Bart and his sisters, friends, Nadia, Stellaluna, and I wouldn't have been rescued.

Stellaluna: No shame to have a heart.

Nadia: Especially a heart of gold.

Darkwing: They have a good point.

James: (Sighs) But we insist on leaving you.

B.E.N.: But guys, look!

*(He and Discord pointed to a depressed Bart's group near the lake, sitting holding their legs, burying their own faces in their own knees)*

Discord: They may be so sad, but I think it would help if you do something nice for them.

Pikachu: (Nods in agreement while Marahute chirps a bit in agreement) Pikachu.

James: But what can we do for them?

Quackerjack: I mean, it's nice *and* fun to help you before, but....

Volteer: Well, for starters, you can try to win our daughters/nieces over and bring them back together with Bart's group.

Grace: And we'll even help you, in return.

Meowth's group: You will?

*(The group nods)*

Twilight Sparkle: Friends to the end.

Comet Tail: Like she said.

Rainbow Dash: And you can take that to the bank.

Soarin and Morgana: Exactly.

*(Meowth's group, calmly moved by their offer to help them bring Bart and Mabel's groups together again and win Mabel's group over, thought it over and then nods)*

Bushroot: It may be tricky, but let's do it.

Liquidator: And besides, we can also do *(Winks)* tricky stuff.

Bartok: Let's make "Operation: Kiss and Make Up and Earn Their Friendship" commence.

*(The group smiled, and then they huddled, as if making a plan to help Bart and Mabel's groups get back together and win Mabel's group over)*

***Coming up: After using Meowth's group's reverse psychology plan to successfully bring Bart and Mabel's groups together again, Mabel, Serena, Kairi, Namine, Xion, Aqua, and Olette are finally won over by Meowth's group and during their time getting to know each other, Fidget, Bartok, and Meowth hurt themselves by accident and accidentally make Megavolt and Quackerjack's locket picture and Mr. Banana Brain doll get ruined in the fountain and then Meowth's group comes clean on how they were forced to work for Merlock's group since their families' deaths years ago and then after Mabel's group, Stellaluna, Nadia, and Meowzie comfort them, Stellaluna and Meowzie heal Fidget, Bartok, and Meowth again while Discord's group magically fix Megavolt's locket picture and Quackerjack's Mr. Banana Brain doll. Then after Fidget and Stellaluna, Bartok and Nadia, and Meowth and Meowzie have their romantic quality time, Stellaluna, Nadia, and Meowzie are then captured by the villains and they force Meowth's group into a deal on helping them defeat the heroes by holding Stellaluna, Nadia, and Meowzie hostage.***
