Into the Unknown/The Elemental Spirits Awakened on Agrabah (Sonicladdin 3 Version)

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

Aerith: (Whispering) I hope Sonic's group and Meowzie’s gift is still here.

Cloud: (Whispering) You and me both.

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

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

Cloud: (Whispering, smiling) Good job, Aerith.

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

Lola: Why’s my makeup powder here?

Heroes: (Confused) Makeup powder?

*(Bugs took a closer look and realized sheepishly)*

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

Foghorn: Well, it’s not.

*(Donald and Jose then came in with a huge cup of granite mixing powder)*

Donald: Here it is.

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

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

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

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

Bugs: (To Penelope and Panchito) Good idea. *(To Daffy)* Don’t you agree?

Daffy: Yep!

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

Bugs: Well, it’s empty.

*(He offers the cup to Daffy)*

Bugs: Care to discard this please?

Daffy: (Excitedly) Would I?!

Heroes: Sure.

Toby: Discard it like a baseball.

Daffy: (Excitedly) With Vector as the umpire?!

Toby: (Nods, giving the cup to Daffy) With Dad as the umpire.

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

Vector: Curve ball time!

*(Daffy poses himself in determination with a playful smile like a baseball pitcher. Then with one powerful throw, he threw the cup at Vector, resulting him to almost catch the cup, only to miss, much to the heroes’ shock. Then Cloud and Aerith came in on cue)*

Cloud and Aerith: (Unaware at first) Everyone, we….

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

Toby: (Gulps, apologetically) I’m sorry!

Daffy: (Panicking) I didn't do it! *(Points to Bugs, accusingly)*Bugs did it! He encouraged me…!

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

Cloud: Well….

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

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

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

Heroes: Sure.

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

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

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

Cloud: Vector, Vanilla, and their family taught us that technique.

*(Noticing the Golden Scepter, the heroes got interested while Doom and Smart Guy got suspicious)*

Doom: What’s that scepter?

*(Cloud and Aerith changed the subject upon hearing him and then looking at the Golden Scepter)*

Cloud: (Realizing) Oh! A gift for Sonic's group and Meowzie.

Aerith: Made specifically for them.

*(Sonic’s group and Meowzie got interested)*

Sonic’s group and Meowzie: For us?

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

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

Smart Guy: (Suspiciously) That’s what the judge and I’d like to know.

Aerith: Smart Guy, as much as Cloud and I want to tell you and the judge, we can’t.

Doom and Smart Guy: Why not?

Aerith: Because it’s a secret.

Cloud: It’s classified.

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

Cloud: Somewhat like that, Psycho, but different.

Sonic: But why is that scepter that special for me, my group, and Meowzie?

Meowzie: What’s the surprise?

Stupid: I love surprises!

Dingodile: Stupid, it's for Sonic's group's wedding, not their birthdays.

*(Hidden behind the column where the cup crashed during Cloud, Aerith, Doom, and Smart Guy’s conversation, with Sonic and Meowzie’s lines among them, Merlock’s group and the mysterious thieves quietly patted the makeup powder off themselves. But as soon as they finished, however, Dijon, a chicken-like figure, and a male figure suddenly felt their own sneezes coming up. Noticing, the hidden villains silently ushered them in anger and annoyance to not sneeze. Then just when Merlock and the two mysterious thief leaders stopped them upon Dingodile’s last line, Dijon, the chicken-like figure, and the male figure sneezed loudly. Hearing the sneezes, the heroes turned to the column in confusion)*

Sally: What was that?

Launchpad: That sounded like sneezes.

Darkwing: Well, no kidding, Mr. Wizard.

Balto: We all heard them.

*(Suddenly, a blaster shot a powerful blast onto the floor, cracking the room’s floor, much to the heroes’ shock. Then the crack opened a short hole, making the heroes fall down into it, and making Cloud drop the Golden Scepter near the hole. As they recovered, they looked up. Then upon climbing out and just when Cream was about to pick up the Golden Scepter, a figure jumped up in front of them like a jack-in-the-box. That figure is a male Badnik robot that resembles a monkey with red fur and ears, peach skin, black eyes, a black nose, silver armored clothing that resembles a janitor's outfit with three yellow buttons on the belly, a yellow lightbulb on his head, and red leg boots)*

Figure: Ooga-booga!

*(Cream screamed in terror, hugging her parents in fear. Upon recognizing the monkey robot as he sneeringly laughed at Cream upon scaring her, Cloud, Aerith, Darkwing, Launchpad, and even Doom and the Toon Patrol realized)*

Launchpad: It can’t be….

*(Then on cue, Merlock’s group and the mysterious thieves jumped out of their hiding spot, weapons readied and surrounding the heroes. Among the mysterious thieves are not only the monkey robot, but also four male human mobsters and two male robots, one a chicken and a drill/mole hybrid. The first mobster is a heavyset yellow skinned human man with short gray hair, and wearing a gray long-sleeved jacket with a white folded handkerchief in his left side chest part pocket over a teal green long-sleeved collar-flapped, button-up shirt with a dark teal green placket, buttons, and Peter Pan collar, a gold chain necklace underneath his shirt, a silver Rolex watch on his left wrist, a gold chain bracelet on his right wrist, a gold pinky ring on his right hand's pinky finger, dark teal green pants, and black shoes, and sometimes carries a revolver and smokes a cigar. The second mobster is a yellow skinned human man with short brown hair, a charcoal gray long-sleeved business suit over a black long-sleeved collar-flapped, button-up shirt, a black stringed necklace with a fake shark tooth charm underneath his shirt, a black leatherbanded watch on his left wrist, a lavender necktie, charcoal gray pants, and black shoes, and, like the first mobster, sometimes carried a revolver. The third mobster is a yellow skinned human man with short black curly afro-like hair, and wearing a navy blue long-sleeved business suit, a white long-sleeved collar-flapped, button-up shirt, a darkness blue necktie, a gold chain necklace underneath his shirt, a silver gold Rolex watch on his left wrist, navy blue pants, and black shoes, and, like the first two mobsters, sometimes carries a revolver. The last mobster is a yellow skinned human man with short wavy black hair, thick black eyebrows, and wearing a plum colored long-sleeved business suit over a light lavender long-sleeved collar-flapped, button-up shirt with dark purple pinstripes, a gold chain necklace underneath his shirt, a gold Rolex watch on his left wrist, a light purple necktie, plum colored business pants, and violet dress shoes, and, like the first three mobsters, sometimes carried a revolver. The male chicken robot is a Male Badnik robot that resembles a tall chicken with a silver body, black eyes, a dark gray marking on the upper part of his torso, a dark gray belt with a red buckle, a red chicken-like hair on his head, two red tail feathers, a red chicken goatee underneath a yellow beak, and yellow long chicken legs. And the male drill/mole hybrid robot is a male tank-like Badnik robot with teal armor, a small drill-like nose, two drills for hands, a silver antenna sticking out of the top of his head, black cat-like pupils, a yellow neck collar, a white clock-like meter on his belly, and silver tank wheels for legs)*

Cloud: What is the meaning of this?!

Doom: Where’s your leader?!

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

Cloaked leader 1: Right here.

Cloaked leader 2: (Sneeringly) Sorry if our lead goon’s goon scared you.

*(Recognizing their voices, Doom got shocked)*

Doom: Those voices….

*(Then the cloaked leaders removed their cloaks, revealing themselves. The first leader is a human man with a bald head, a medium sized pink nose, a big orange mustache, and wearing silver goggles on his bald head, dark blue sunglasses, a red long-sleeved, scientist-like jacket with white linings and yellow buttons and rims, white gloves, a black long-sleeved bodily jumpsuit underneath, and black boots with white soles and laces. And the last leader is a male jackal with black fur, white markings on his back and tip of his tail, white tendril-like hair, a blue pupiled right eye, and yellow pupiled left eye, and wearing a silver metal half helmet over his face with his left eye exposed only to the red eye visor only and his right eye covered by a black bolt-shaped visor-like screen and metal bat-like ears with the interior colored black and white ringed, a white neck bandana, a red upside-down triangle-shaped ruby brooch on his chest, black gloves, and silver and black armored boots. The Toon Patrol became shocked upon seeing them, while the others got shocked and surprise combined)*

Cloud: Dr. Eggman and Infinite of the Badnik Thieves?!

Aerith: Teaming up with Merlock, Dijon, and their army?!

*(Then noticing the male mobsters and two Badnik robots, including the monkey robot Badnik, among the Badnik Thieves, Launchpad got shocked)*

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

Darkwing: Consisting Louie, Legs, Johnny Tightlips, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts?!

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

Scratch: What’s it to ya?

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

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

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

Doom and Toon Patrol: (To Stupid, angrily) STUPID!!

*(Then Eggman and Infinite approached them slowly)*

Infinite: (Sneeringly) Relax.

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

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

Fat Tony: I like how you grasp the situation.

Louie: We joined forces just before the war began.

Coconuts: In case you didn’t know.

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

Hydro Man: That’s right.

Hunch: (Sneeringly) So there.

Puppetmon and Brer Fox: (Sneeringly) Yeeeeeah.

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

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

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

*(Knuckles grabbed the Golden Scepter and then threw it to Daffy)*

Daffy: Come and get it!

Komodo Brothers: (Pulling their swords out) Poor choice of words, ducky!

*(Daffy then gave a look that means "Oh, dear")*

Daffy: (Concerned) Mother.

*(Then the Komodo Brothers charged at Daffy really fast, making Daffy attempt to run away while carrying the Golden Scepter, screaming)*

Daffy: (Panicking) Don't hurt me! Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

*(But the Komodo Brothers and even Brer Bear, unfortunately, lunged at Daffy, and after pinning him down, began to wrestle over the Golden Scepter. Suddenly, a gunshot from a revolver fired on the floor next to Daffy, Brer Bear, and the Komodo Brothers, stopping the fight and even scaring the daylights out of Daffy. They turned and it’s revealed that it was Legs who shot the floor. Then Legs aimed his gun at Daffy)*

Legs: Enough games!

*(Daffy shoves Brer Bear and the Komodo Brothers off)*

Daffy: I like to see you try and shoot me.

*(Legs smirked and aims his gun at him)*

Legs: It's your funeral.

Daffy: Wait, I'd rather inform you that it's Komodo dragon season.

*(He narrows his gaze at the Komodo Brothers, making them nervous. Then Daffy smugly turned to Legs)*

Daffy: Now, if you saw a Komodo dragon, what would you do with the gun?

*(As if answering his question, Legs shoots Daffy's beak. After the smoke settled, Daffy's beak is now twisted behind his head, with an annoyed look, making the villains, mostly the Komodo Brothers, laugh a bit at this in a sneering way)*

Komodo Joe: (Laughing sneeringly) Good one, Legs!

Moe: (Laughing sneeringly) Almost had us there!

*(Then after fixing his beak, Daffy dagger glared as the sneering laughter calmed down)*

Daffy: (Dagger glares at Legs) Let me reiterate.

Legs: I said enough games!

*(Then with that distraction, Daffy kicks Legs down and he threw the Golden Scepter to Sonic, who catches it. Then just when Sonic was about to run out quickly with the Komodo Brothers and Brer Bear chasing him after Legs got up in recovery, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts blocked the way. Then hearing the guns clicking and Cloud and Aerith scream a bit, the heroes turned, and saw, to their shock, Eggman and Infinite holding Cloud and Aerith hostage by holding them back respectively, with Fat Tony and his gang aiming their guns at them. Then Hunch smugly pointed his feather-like finger at this)*

Hunch: Ooh, they are gonna be meeting total and complete *(Giggles a bit)* annihilation.

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

Infinite: And we’ll spare them.

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

Louie: The dead ones, that is.

Heroes: Never!

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

Johnny: (Scoffs) Go suck a lemon!

Pitch: In your dreams.

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

Sonic: Okay.

Bushroot: Take it.

Sally: Just don’t hurt them.

*(Then the villains smirked evilly in victory, and after they let Cloud and Aerith go, Eggman snatched the Golden Scepter from Sonic)*

Infinite: A wise choice.

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

Infinite: Upon getting the fabled treasure from far away!

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

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

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

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

Sonic’s group: NOW!!

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

Infinite: This is not over!

Eggman: We will get that treasure!

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

Heroes: Wait!

Tails: Who are you?!

*(But too late; The figures were gone. Later in the throne room, Doom and Smart Guy are angrily arguing with Sonic’s group, Meowzie, Cloud, and Aerith over the Golden Scepter as everyone else is watching)*

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

Cloud: We don’t know yet, Doom.

Aerith: But rest assured, we will investigate tomorrow.

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

Meowzie: Then we’ll just protect Cloud and Aerith!

Tails: And we’d liked it if you helped.

*(Smart Guy groans in anger)*

Smart Guy: (Annoyed) But why would I want to help a bunch of street rats and even that magic-filled cat Pokemon girl?!

Heroes: *Former*street rats.

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

Milo and Sophia: Dad has a point.

Smart Guy: (Scoffs) Whatever.

Doom: (Points his finger at Sonic’s group and Meowzie accusingly)But ever since they came into our lives, things have gotten bad for us!

*(The heroes verbally defended Sonic’s group and Meowzie)*

Jessie: Hey!

Vector: (Imitating a trial lawyer) Objection!

Aerith: Shame on you!

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

Steelbeak: And both times before, if they hadn’t, we would’ve been enslaved or killed by Vanitas and Don Karnage's tyranny!

Meowzie: With me involved in the second time we fought those two villains!

Bugs: Although my group and I weren't there.

Doom: (Putting his hands on his hips) That may be the case, but every time Smart Guy and I go near them, we get a bad feeling all the time!

Smart Guy: Once a bunch of street rats, always a bunch of street rats!

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

Launchpad: Which DW and I will out of loyalty!

Darkwing: Because that is the code of honor of the palace guard that *you* taught me, LP, and the other guards!

Meowth: And don’t forget that Meowzie here is now my wife, since we just recently got married two weeks ago and then had Milo and Sophia a week ago, in case you forgot!

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

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

*(Then with that said and done, the argument was over as the heroes left while Doom and Smart Guy just stood there, their anger slowly melting away as they left. But the only ones who stayed by them is the Toon Patrol. Smart Guy then sighed in calm agitation and gave in somewhat)*

Smart Guy: (To himself) Accept them, huh?

*(Psycho was about to speak)*

Doom: (To Psycho) Not a word.

*(Then Doom and Smart Guy walked out of the room. After the Toon Patrol shrugged, they, too, left. In Sally’s group’s room at nighttime, the heroes have already dressed themselves in pajamas and are preparing for bed)*

Tails: What you guys did for us…. Thanks.

*(The heroes nod a “You’re welcome”)*

Darkwing: Think nothing of it.

Cosmo: But what Doom and Smart Guy said was uncalled for.

Morgana: If only they'd warm up to you.

*(They see Meowzie lost in thought)*

Meowth: Meowzie?

Milo: Are you okay?

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

Meowzie: I was just thinking.

Sophia: About what?

Meowzie: Well, I agree what Doom and Smart Guy said was uncalled for, but…. Part of me believes that they were overreacting, yet another part of me believed that I might belong somewhere else than just the palace here.

*(Meowth, Milo, and Sophia sat down beside her reassuringly)*

Milo: Hey, hey.

Sophia: Don’t be so hard on yourself.

Meowth: We know that you still belong here.

Meowzie: Well….

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

Liquidator: What is it?

*(Then Vector turned into Rambo)*

Vector: (Imitating Rambo) Is it the enemy?

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

Meowzie: No. I thought I heard….

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

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

Foghorn: A hawk screeching at this, I say, at this time in the middle of the night?

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

Speedy: It is a hawk.

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

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

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

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

Vector: (Reassuringly) I was just trying to help Meowzie.

Vanilla: No shame in that.

Quackerjack: But what if you woke up someone who was trying to sleep tonight?

Megavolt: Ever thought of that?

Bugs: They have a point.

Cream and Toby: They would be angry at you.

Chip: Like cranky grumpy old men.

Cheese: (Nods in agreement) Chao, chao.

*(Suddenly, during Quackerjack, Megavolt, Bugs, Cream, Toby, Cheese, and Chip’s lines, Meowzie secretly heard the siren-like voice call to her again, calmly worrying her. After that ended, Meowzie, after casting aside her secret calm worried face, then pretended to yawn)*

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

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

Foghorn: I-I say, it's time to hit the hay.

Heroes: Good night.

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

Smart Guy: (Practicing) The point being, is that the judge and I apologize for….

*(He realized what he just said upon hearing Doom clear his throat, and tried again)*

Smart Guy: (Realizing) I guess that’s too sissy.

Doom: (Practicing again) Smart Guy and I want to say….

*(Smart Guy groaned in annoyance)*

Smart Guy: This is going to be difficult.

*(Suddenly, he jumped in surprise when he and Doom heard Greasy talk)*

Greasy: Difficult on what?

*(Smart Guy sighed in relief and then got annoyed upon seeing the Toon Patrol, dressed in pajamas, looking at him and Doom in confusion)*

Smart Guy: You nearly gave me a heart attack, Greasy!

Greasy: Sorry, Boss. *(Takes his coat off)* I was just coming in to help ger ready for bed.

Doom: (Grabbing his robe and pajamas) Indeed.

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

Stupid: But I’m confused.

Psycho: What did you mean “Difficult?”

*(Doom then tried to fib as he puts his robe on. Even Smart Guy fibbed)*

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

Doom: (Lying) Is that difficult?

*(The Toon Patrol became unsure once Doom secured his robe on himself)*

Toon Patrol: (Slowly, unsure) Okay.

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

Wheezy: (Confused) With Sonic’s group and Meowzie helping us?

*(Smart Guy hesitated and Doom puts on an annoyed look, still fibbing)*

Doom: I highly doubt it.

Smart Guy: (Hesitating) It's none of your business.

*(But the Toon Patrol, seeing Smart Guy hesitate, got happy)*

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

*(He giggles a bit as Smart Guy calmly hesitated again)*

Greasy: (Playfully) That means you care.

Smart Guy: (Nervously) Uh…. The judge and I ain’t practicing an apology speech.

Doom: We were practicing a speech for guard duties.

*(Smart Guy chuckles nervously, but the Toon Patrol gave a playful smile, knowing their boss and judge better. Then finally, Doom and Smart Guy sighed in annoyance and cracked)*

Doom: Alright! Smart Guy and I were practicing an apology speech!

Smart Guy: We were thinking about our fight in the throne room earlier, and we decided to apologize just to make them better!

Doom and Smart Guy: You happy now, men?! (mugs?!)

*(The Toon Patrol giggles)*

Greasy: Happier as I’ll ever be, guys.

Psycho: And I bet you’re doing this because you care, like Greasy said.

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

Smart Guy: (Aghast) Who do you think we are, softies?!

*(The Toon Patrol gave a smug smile again. Then Doom and Smart Guy sighed in defeat, agitated)*

Doom: (Giving the death glare, slowly speaking angrily) Don’t you tell *anyone* about this!

Smart Guy: Only *the judge and I* will give that explanation through our apology speech.

Doom and Smart Guy: Understand?!

Toon Patrol: (Saluting happily) Yes, (*S*i,) sirs!

*(Then the Toon Patrol left to go to bed. Then Doom went to his bed. Back in Sally’s group’s room, everyone is sleeping. Suddenly, Meowzie, sleeping with Meowth, hears the siren-like voice call out to her again, slowly waking her up. She slowly got up and looked around in concern as Meowth continued sleeping. After shrugging, she was about to go back to sleep when the siren-like voice started singing some vocals, calling out to her again. She then got annoyed and quietly climbed out of bed. Then as more vocals from the siren-like voice continued, she puts on her robe and quietly snuck out of the room to investigate in confusion. Unknown to her, Sally’s group, Chip, the Fearsome Four, and even Team Rocket, Milo, and Sophia woke up slowly upon hearing her close the door quietly. In the palace halls, Meowzie walked out to the throne room, continuing to hear the siren-like voice sing out to her. Unknown to Meowzie, she didn’t notice Chip, the Fearsome Four, Team Rocket, Milo, Sophia, and Sally’s group silently hiding themselves and listening in to see what’s going on. Even Bugs' group came in tiredly, having went to the bathroom offscreen, until they woke up and saw Meowzie awake. Then noticing the others, they hid as well. Then Meowzie started singing)*

Meowzie: **I can hear you**

**But they don’t**

**Some look for trouble**

**While others won’t**

**There’s a thousand reasons**

**I should go about my day**

**And learn about your whispers**

**Which I wish should show itself**

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

Meowzie: **You may be a voice**

**You’re not a ringing in my ear**

**And if they heard you**

**Which they don’t**

**I'm feeling full of fear**

**Everyone I’ve ever loved**

**Is here within these walls**

**I’m sorry, secret siren**

**But I need to know your calls**

**I’ve had some adventures**

**You might be something new**

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

**If I follow you**

**Into the unknown**

**Into the unknown**

**Into the unknown**

*(Then she exited the palace into the garden. Then the siren-like voice sang out to her. She sighs as the siren-like voice finished singing a bit. Then six small figures, one of them a small glowing white light that resembles a star, approached her as she resumed singing, Sally and Bugs' group, Chip, Milo, Sophia, Team Rocket, and the Fearsome Four followed and watched her secretly)*

Meowzie: **What do you want?**

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

**Are you here to distract me**

**So I make a big mistake?**

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

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

**Who’s a little bit like me?**

**Who knows deep down**

**I might belong somewhere else?**

**Every day’s a little harder**

**As I feel my power grow**

**Don’t you know there’s part of me**

**That longs to go**

**Into the unknown?**

**Into the unknown**

**Into the unknown**

*(At the last three parts of that song, the light then conjured up starry-like images, representing the symbols of the elements from Shirabad, much to the surprise of the hidden Sally and Bugs' groups, Team Rocket, the Fearsome Four, Chip, Milo, and Sophia. Then the siren-like voice sang out a bit as Meowzie became calmly amazed by the images and then resumed singing again)*

Meowzie: **Are you out there?**

**Do you know me?**

**Can you feel me?**

**Can you show me?**

*(Then, after she touched the images with one gentle swipe, the images changed into five separate familiar-looking figures representing the elements as she and the siren-like voice then vocalized together. Then after the images and vocals finished, the six figures then sensed something and flew off quickly, much to Meowzie’s confusion that she chased after them outside the palace garden to a hillside, the siren-like voice vocalizing a bit. Still hidden, Sally and Bugs' groups, Team Rocket, Chip, the Fearsome Four, Milo, and Sophia followed her)*

Meowzie: **Where are you going?**

**Don’t leave me alone**

**How do I follow you?**

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

Meowzie: **Into the unknown?**

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

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

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

Meowzie: Oh! I-I can walk!

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

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

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

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

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

Launchpad: What was that about?

Minerva: I have no idea.

Smart Guy: Well, nobody has an idea what just happened!

*(He then got dumbfounded)*

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

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

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

*(Everyone turned to Cloud and Aerith for support)*

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

Aerith: This’ll probably be a long night.

*(Later at the oasis nearby Agrabah, everyone is having their meeting while the kids, except Cream, Toby, Milo, and Sophia who are part of the meeting, are allowed to play in a nearby corner. And just now, Sally and Bugs’ groups, Team Rocket, Milo, Sophia, and the Fearsome Four just explained what they witnessed from Meowzie a few minutes ago)*

Toby: (Scratching his head in confusion) Meowzie heard something from afar?

Chip: Calling out to her, to be more precise.

Bugs: (Nibbling his carrot) Exactly.

*(Everyone looked at Meowzie in calm concern. All except Doom and Smart Guy, that is, who glared flatly at her. Then the two approached her, Doom's arms crossed sternly)*

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

Smart Guy: If so, confess.

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

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

Doom: YOU DIDN’T WANT US TO WORRY?!

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

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

Smart Guy: Again, confess.

*(Even Meowth, Milo, and Sophia went up to her in calm concern, with Meowth gently putting his paw-like hands on her shoulders)*

Milo: Seeing how it is just now....

Sophia: We *are* worried suddenly.

Meowth: That's right.

Balto: I mean, earlier, they sensed it.

Jenna: We all did.

Megavolt: So, could you be a dear and tell us WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!

Daffy: Relax!

Quackerjack: Yeah! Inside voice, Sparky!

Megavolt: DON'T CALL ME "SPARKY!!"

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

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

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

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

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

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

Aerith: What did she say?

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

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

Doom: What future?! Did you not forget that Shirabad and Agrabah have been enemies since we went into a short war over the murders of the chief’s wife and our current sultan’s mother?!

Smart Guy: I don’t know what is really going on, but the judge and I’ve been tolerant of you *and* the street rats.

*(He gestures to Sonic’s group)*

Doom and Smart Guy: But this time, we're putting our foot down!

*(During Doom and Smart Guy’s rant, Cloud, Aerith, Darkwing, Launchpad, Steelbeak, Morgana, Minerva, Sally’s group, and even the rest of the heroes thought about what Meowzie just told them and as soon as Doom and Smart Guy finished, Vector speaks up)*

Vector: QUIET!!

*(Hearing him, everyone turned to him)*

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

*(A short pause, then everyone agreed)*

Megavolt: Since you put it that way.

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

Tiger head: Who disturbs my slumber?

*(The main heroes, Cloud, and Aerith approached and kneeled down to the tiger head in respect)*

Cloud: Just us.

Aerith: Our apologies, but this is urgent.

Steelbeak: (Whispering, encouraging Meowzie) Go on.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Meowzie: But what if something bad…?

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

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

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

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

Launchpad: Well, you heard the tiger head guardian, Smart Guy.

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

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

*(He takes the ring from Meowzie)*

Vector: Behold.

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

Vanilla: Vector, you never cease to amaze us.

Cream: Good job, Papa.

Toby: Yeah.

Cheese: (Amazed) Chao, chao.

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

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

Darkwing: Is that…?

Cloud and Aerith: Thumbelina and the Blue Fairy….

*(Thumbelina and the Blue Fairy nod to them. Then they speak to Meowzie)*

Blue Fairy: Thumbelina and I have just sensed what happened in Agrabah.

Thumbelina: And we apologize for what happened.

Meowzie: So, you, Thumbelina, are the wife of this Prince Cornelius?

Thumbelina: Yes. Yesterday, you are not the only one who sensed the siren-like voice. I’ve been hearing it too for some reason, yet neither of us don’t know why.

Blue Fairy: But I do know, for a fact, that I and Thumbelina, like the Cave of Wonders, beseech you and anybody close to you, to come to Shirabad and solve that mystery, with these six virtues….

*(Then the three said the virtues together)*

Meowzie, Thumbelina, and Blue Fairy: Loyal, Brave, True, Kind, Pure, and Love.

*(Then Meowzie asked away)*

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

Thumbelina: I sensed that it somehow does. But like Blue and I said, we don’t know why.

Blue Fairy: We cannot give you anymore information about this until you come to Shirabad and consult with us in person at our village. Do you understand?

*(Meowzie looked at the heroes, and they, except a calm suspicious Doom and Smart Guy, nods in approval. Then Meowzie answered)*

Meowzie: I understand.

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

Blue Fairy: (Smiles softly) Me too.

*(Then the two turned to Sonic’s group)*

Tails: And your message to us?

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

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

Sonic's group: Yeah, our parents. Why?

Blue Fairy: It is time that you partially know the truth, by figuring out this cryptic clue; Friends of old to Shirabad and Agrabah, left their home kingdom to solve the mystery of the war.

Thumbelina: She repeats.

Blue Fairy: Friends of old to Shirabad and Agrabah, left their home kingdom to solve the mystery of the war.

Thumbelina: Can you figure it out?

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

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

Blue Fairy: (Nods) That is correct. And they are currently in Shirabad as we speak.

Thumbelina: And the cloaked figures who helped you against your enemies earlier, they might have the answer to your parents’ whereabouts.

*(Then Thumbelina and the Blue Fairy slowly faded away)*

Blue Fairy: As this message now ends, here is our recap.

Thumbelina: Meowzie, you must seek out the source of the voice calling to both of us.

Blue Fairy: And Sonic’s group, you must seek out the cloaked figures for help on finding your parents.

Thumbelina and Blue Fairy: Just as long as you hold the Virtues of Loyalty, Bravery, Truth, Kindness, Friendship, and Family.

*(Then Thumbelina and the Blue Fairy disappeared as the glow died down. Then with that done, Meowzie removed the ring from the keyhole. Then they see Sonic’s group staring silently in somewhat of a calm shock)*

Lola: What's the matter?

Minerva: Are you okay?

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

Heroes: Guys?!

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

Sally's group: Sonic? (Tails?) (Knuckles?)

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

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

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

*(Feeling sorry for Sonic’s group, the heroes sat around, with Sally’s group and even Cloud and Aerith sitting next to them in comfort)*

Cosmo: We may not know yet.

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

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

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

Knuckles: But still, why didn’t they secretly come home like they promised us after pretending to be dead?

Amy: Again, we don’t know.

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

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

Sonic: I don't think we could keep our confidence up like that so far.

Cosmo: You mustn’t be down.

Sally: Believe in yourselves.

Amy: Cosmo and Sally are right. I mean, didn’t you give up when you confessed to not being princes?

*(Sonic's group shook their heads “No”)*

Amy: Exactly.

Sally: And besides….

*(Then she and her group began singing)*

Sally: **You showed us the world**

**When we were all locked up inside**

Cosmo: **You reached out your hands**

**And took us on a golden eagle ride**

Amy: **One look at your smiles**

**And we could see the lights**

**Shining everywhere**

Sally’s group: **People like you**

**Don’t come out of thin air**

Cloud and Aerith: That’s right.

Sonic: Oh, guys….

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

Sonic: **You don’t understand**

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

Tails: **Just think, if you can**

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

Knuckles: **Your parents are people**

**Who taught you who you are**

**Ours were never there**

Sonic's group: **So how can you say**

**We don’t come out of thin air?**

*(They stand up)*

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

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

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

Cloud and Aerith: **We’ll be right here when you all return**

*(Calmly surprised, Sonic and Sally's groups and the heroes turned to Cloud and Aerith with little hope)*

Heroes: Really?

*(Cloud and Aerith nods and then they and Sonic and Sally’s groups sang together, slowly smiling softly in the process as the sun slowly rose up)*

Cloud: **Your wedding can wait**

Tails: **You mean it?**

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

Sonic and Sally’s groups: **Maybe you’re right**

Sally’s group: (To Sonic's group) **And won’t it be great**

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

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

Aerith: **It isn’t too late**

Sonic's group: **To learn the truth**

Sonic and Sally’s groups: **And now at last**

**We can finally say**

Sally's group, Cloud, and Aerith: **Your parents are really there**

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

Cloud and Aerith: **And you’ll finally learn**

Sonic and Sally’s groups, Cloud, and Aerith: **(You) (We) don’t come out of thin air**

*(The song over, Sonic's group is feeling better)*

Knuckles: Thanks, guys.

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

Darkwing: And if you six are going, then LP and I shall assist in your quest.

Launchpad: Friends to the end.

*(The two turned to the heroes)*

Darkwing: What you say?

Launchpad: You wanna brave Shirabad for the fate of the kingdoms?

*(Then after a short pause, to Sonic and Sally’s group and Darkwing and Launchpad's happiness, all the heroes, and even Bugs' group, came up to them with calm confident smiles as Meowzie puts the ring on her right hand’s pinky)*

Heroes: We’re in.

*(Vector, Vanilla, Cream, Toby, and Cheese then turned into musketeers)*

Vector's: All for one, and one for all!

Cheese: (Happily agreeing) Chao, chao!

*(Back at the palace later as the sun continued to rise, the heroes explained to Doom, the Toon Patrol, and the weasel guards their decision, but we don’t hear what they say, and then we see the heroes proceed to pack up supplies for their new adventure. Outside nearby, Negaduck and Hunch have overheard everything and then ran and flew off to go report to Merlock's group and the Badnik Thieves)*

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