Lillipup, Pikachu, Eevee, and Glameow Bring Help in the Form of Their Friends/Elise Discovers the Truth

*(Back in the Haunted Forest, Lillipup, Pikachu, Eevee, and Glameow ran quickly in determination to find their friends. Elsewhere, Christopher and Megavolt just finished fixing Fender up and Liquidator already used the Elemental Sword's water side, as well as his own water, to clean the mud off of it)*

Christopher: Good as new!

Fender: Thank you! *(Imitates a tough guy)* I am now *muy* macho, Christopher.

Liquidator: And the Elemental Sword is clean at last!

Fievel: That's wonderful! But there's one problem.... If only we knew where the Winged Goblins and Flying Pokemon took Ash and the girls.

*(Serena's group realized what he’s talking about and agreed. Then they began singing while pondering and looking concerned)*

Jiminy: **It’s all gone to rack and ruin**

Christopher: **‘Cause we don’t know what we’re doin’**

Popple: **It’s all gone down the pan**

Fender: No!

Fievel: It has.

Pinocchio: **Things would be less distressful**

**And we might more successful**

Serena’s group: **If we only had a plan**

Megavolt: **Bet Maleficent would**

**Make Fender a beeline**

Pinocchio: **Along with Sugar Plum**

Tiger: **And kill us all at once**

Bushroot: **My sentiments exactly**

Fender: (Confused) That’s all I am?

Liquidator: (Reassuring) No, you’re more than that.

Fender: (Gladly realizing) Oh.

Tiger: **But I feel such a coward**

Pinocchio: **I’d be easily overpowered**

Serena’s group: **If we only had a plan**

Popple: But we don’t. So….

*(They began to ponder when they heard Lillipup, Pikachu, Eevee, and Glameow calling out to them)*

Lillipup, Pikachu, Eevee, and Glameow: Hey, guys!

*(They noticed them)*

Pinocchio: Look, there’s Lillipup, Pikachu, Eevee, and Glameow!

Quackerjack: It is them!

Glameow: (Panting) Hey!

Christopher: Lillipup, Pikachu, Eevee, Glameow!

*(Lillipup, Pikachu, Eevee, and Glameow recovered from their panting and explained)*

Glameow: Lillipup, Pikachu, Eevee, and I know where Ash and the girls, as well as Team Rocket, are!

Pikachu: Come on!

Quackerjack: (Happily) You’ll take us to the others?

Eevee: Yes!

Lillipup: Come on!

*(The group then got determined)*

Serena’s group: Then let’s hurry!

*(They follow Lillipup, Pikachu, Eevee, and Glameow through the Haunted Forest. Upon reaching the rocks, they climbed up with Lillipup, Pikachu, Eevee, and Glameow leading the way)*

Glameow: We’re almost there!

Lillipup, Pikachu, and Eevee: This way!

*(During the climb, Quackerjack and Fender almost fell when Tiger let them grab his tail)*

Tiger: I hope my strength doesn’t dwindle!

Fender: (Imitating Bette Davis) I hope your tail is strong as well!

Quackerjack: Just shut up and keep climbing!

*(They reach the top finally and saw Maleficent's castle with Sugar Plum’s tower nearby)*

Quackerjack: So that must be the castle and the tower.

Popple: Yeah.

Bushroot: Talk about creepy.

Pinocchio: (To Lillipup, Pikachu, Eevee, and Glameow) Our friends are in that place?

Lillipup, Pikachu, and Eevee: Yes.

Glameow: But technically, Elise’s in the tower next door to the castle.

*(Fender started to get upset)*

Fender: (Sadly) I’m starting to worry about them! I hate to think how scared they are!

Tiger: Don’t cry or get upset!

Fievel: Yeah!

Bushroot: You might rust.

Liquidator: And besides, we don’t want you to rust solid, because Serena has the oil can!

*(Suddenly, they see Inca Guards marching and chanting below)*

Jiminy: I see the Inca Guards.

Inca Guards: **Oh-wee-yo**

**Yee-oh-wah**

**Oh-wee-yo**

**Yee-oh-wah**

*(Serena's group got confused and Bushroot asked Glameow)*

Bushroot: What are they chanting about?

*(A short pause)*

Glameow: I have no idea what that song is about either.

*(They shrug and then quietly climbed down the other side towards the drawbridge. On the ground of the castle wall, Serena, Ash, Kaya, and Team Rocket made it and jumped onto the ground now that it’s close)*

Ash: (Whispering) Made it!

*(Then they ran quietly inside the castle and noticed the Inca Guards’ shadows marching forward. They hid themselves until the Inca Guards passed by. Once all cleared, the six resumed their search for a way out. Back with the group, they hid themselves and began to think of a way to sneak past the Inca Guards. Suddenly, they saw a lead Inca Guard approach their hiding spot without thankfully seeing them and then shouted his command)*

Lead Inca Guard: Ten-hut!

*(They stopped and stood in lines. Suddenly, Maleficent came out in a fury with Diablo on her shoulder)*

Maleficent: Those brats and their three friends found a way to escape!

*(Then the Inca Guards got surprised calmly. In their hiding spot, the group silently got happily relieved, seeing how Serena, Ash, Kaya, and Team Rocket have managed to escape so far)*

Lead Inca Guard: You want us to find them?

Maleficent: Yes! And take Diablo and my goons with you!

*(The goons came out with weapons and the Inca Guards grunted in agreement and they began their search. After Diablo began flying around the castle to search in the air, the lead Inca Guard turned to Maleficent)*

Lead Inca Guard: And what about you and Sugar Plum?

Maleficent: I already told Sugar Plum about it and she is preparing herself to guard Elise. And as for me, I shall go rest for a while in my chambers. And if any of you find them, bring them to me.

Lead Inca Guard: Are you sure you want to kill those children and their friends?

Maleficent: I’m sure. Now go. Find them.

*(She goes to her sleeping chambers via a portal. Then the Inca Guards and goons began searching in and around the castle. Near the hiding spots, a group of Inca Guards and the lead goon searched for Serena, Ash, Kaya, and Team Rocket cautiously, spears ready. Suddenly getting an idea seeing them approach, Pinocchio whispered to the group and getting the plan, they nod and prepare to attack when they come. Finally spotting the group suddenly, the Inca Guards and the lead goon were about to scream out when the group grabbed them and knocked them out. After stripping the Inca Guards’ and the lead goon’s armor, the group disguised themselves, with Pikachu wearing the lead goon’s armor since he can fit in it. And while Fievel is hiding in Tiger’s chest-plate, Lillipup is hiding in the chest-plate worn by Bushroot, Eevee is hiding in the chest-plate worn by Megavolt, and Jiminy and Glameow are hidden in another chest-plate worn by Pinocchio)*

Bushroot: (Whispering) Are you sure this will work?

Pinocchio: (Whispering) I’m sure.

Megavolt: (Whispering) Hope this works.

*(They come out and marched to the Inca Guards. Thankfully, the Inca Guards noticed them and thought it was their own group)*

Lead Inca Guard: Anything so far?

*(Popple spoke in a gruff voice)*

Popple: No, sir!

*(Looking at them narrowly at first, the Inca Guards fell for it and the lead Inca Guard excused them)*

Lead Inca Guard: As you were.

*(A short pause while Serena's group got confused)*

Lead Inca Guard: What are you doing? Go in the castle and search!

*(Realizing, they saluted)*

Serena’s group: Yes, sir!

*(They go into the castle. Once inside, they see more Inca Guards march by and hid themselves)*

Fender: (Whispering) It worked!

Liquidator: (Whispering) So far.

Megavolt: (Whispering) Um….

*(The group looked at him)*

Serena’s group: (Whispering) What?

Megavolt: (Whispering) Does this armor make me look fat?

*(Quackerjack smacks him)*

Quackerjack: (Whispering) Does that answer your question, Sparky?

Megavolt: (Groans quietly in annoyance, whispering in anger) Don't call me "Sparky!"

*(Suddenly, while Serena's group snuck by another set of Inca Guards, they immediately see Serena, Ash, Kaya, and Team Rocket sneaking around the corner)*

Christopher: (Whispering) There they are!

*(However, Serena, Ash, Kaya, and Team Rocket were spotted by an Inca Guard and gasped)*

Inca Guard: Gotcha!

*(Serena's group came out of hiding, pretending to be guards)*

Popple: Halt!

*(Serena, Ash, Kaya, Team Rocket, and Inca Guard noticed. Serena, Ash, Kaya, and Team Rocket secretly realized that their friends are in disguise and played along)*

Tiger: We order you to hand over the four people to us!

Pinocchio: We’ll take them to Maleficent's group!

*(The disguised Serena's group nods in agreement. But the Inca Guard asked in suspicion)*

Inca Guard: Do you have permission from our captain to do that?

*(A short pause when Serena's group got calmly surprised at that question, for they realized they don't have permission. Then immediately, Tiger snatched the spear away and with its handle, whacked the Inca Guard's head, making him dizzy, surprising Serena's group)*

Inca Guard: (Dizzily) Good whack!

*(He dizzily kisses Megavolt in the lips, much to his disgust and the dizzy Inca Guard lost consciousness. Serena's group then went to the courtyard and once the coast is clear, ran outside the castle grounds in the back quietly. Afterwards, Serena's group ditched their disguises)*

Christopher: (Whispering) That was close.

Fievel: (Whispering to Tiger) What you did was so cool *and* brave, Tiger.

Serena's group: (Whispering in agreement) Yeah.

Tiger: (Whispering) Thanks, guys.

Christopher: (Whispering to Serena, Ash, Kaya, and Team Rocket) Anyway, we found you six so far.

Serena: (Whispering) Now we must get Elise.

*(They nod in agreement looking at Sugar Plum’s tower. Back in the tower, Elise still sat on her bed depressed. She went to the window glumly and looked out. Suddenly, she noticed Serena’s group from the distance heading her way through another part of the Haunted Forest. She snapped out of her depression and got confused)*

Elise: (Thinking) My friends are alive?

*(She got relieved)*

Elise: (Thinking) Thank goodness.

*(She looked at the curtained doorway and got determined)*

Elise: (Whispering) Now to confront her.

*(She was about to take a step when she remembered her broomstick. She goes over and picks it up. She stopped suddenly and noticed a sun-like flower symbol in her painting on the canvas wall the broomstick laid on)*

Elise: (Whispering) That symbol….

*(She pulls the green cloth with the gold sun-like flower out of her pocket and got surprised calmly. She held it up to the painting and inspected it carefully. Then she gasped quietly and thought over something)*

Elise: (Thinking) Could it be that…?

*(She thought some more, and then suddenly she calmly and quietly gasped again and remembered a blurry vision of two familiar kind-hearted faces looking down at her in a bright room. Then she remembered the baby princess in the picture looking like her. Then she remembered wearing the necklace Christopher showed her before in front of the mirror on the day she left the tower. And then she remembered her meeting with Richard and Luna in Emerald City, looking at each other in curiosity. Snapping back in reality, Elise backed away a bit in shock, accidentally knocking over a perfume bottle. Downstairs, Sugar Plum heard the crash and got concerned and confused)*

Sugar Plum: Elise? Are you alright?

*(Upstairs, Elise panted calmly, for she realized the truth; She’s the lost Princess of Oz all along, and Luna and Richard are her real parents! She calmed down and after putting her cloth back inside her pocket, she went over the curtain with her broomstick, starting to slowly get angry. Seeing Elise come out, holding the curtains apart, Sugar Plum sighed in relief, unaware of Elise’s realization)*

Sugar Plum: Oh, good. *Bon bien*. I thought you got hurt.

Elise: (Softly) I’m the lost Princess of Oz.

*(Sugar Plum didn’t hear her and got annoyed as she slowly walked up to her)*

Sugar Plum: Elise, I told you not to mumble! I hate that!

*(Elise then got angry and spoke up loudly)*

Elise: I’m the lost Princess of Oz!

*(Sugar Plum got surprised and shocked slowly, making her stop a few inches from Elise. Elise then saw that reaction and took a step)*

Elise: Did I mumble, Mother? Or should I say, Sugar Plum?

*(Sugar Plum snapped out of it and tried to calmly make an excuse)*

Sugar Plum: I think you’re overreacting a little.

*(She went up to her to calm her when Elise pushed her against the wall)*

Elise: It was all your doing sixteen years ago!

*(She started walking down the stairs with Sugar Plum following her slowly after recovering)*

Elise: All my life, I was hiding from the dangers, when in reality, I should’ve been hiding from you!

*(On “You,” Elise turned in anger to Sugar Plum, who stopped in calm anger)*

Sugar Plum: Everything I did was to protect you.

Elise: Liar!

*(Sugar Plum reacted calmly)*

Elise: And I realize now my friends are alive and coming for me.

*(Calmly shocked, Sugar Plum got angry calmly, and then in calm happiness, went up to her slowly)*

Sugar Plum: Heh. So what if they’re alive. Where will you go to live then?

Elise: Emerald City, that’s what.

Sugar Plum: Oh, *si fous plais*. Will they believe a little witchling like you is acting crazy, thinking *you’re* the lost Princess of Oz? Don’t be absurd.

*(She reaches her hand out to take Elise’s hand, when Elise savagely grabbed her and struggled to push it away)*

Elise: No! You’re wrong about the outside world! You’re wrong about my friends! You’re wrong about me! And I will never let you use my magic to stay young and beautiful again!

*(She finally shoved Sugar Plum down onto the ground. As Sugar Plum recovered and watched her, Elise glared at her, holding her broomstick and went to the window, still looking at her in anger. Then she perched her broom, concentrated with new courage, and flew down outside the tower. Back inside, Sugar Plum glared darkly as she got up)*

Sugar Plum: You want me to be the bad guy? Fine. Now I’m the bad guy.

*(She walks to the window. Outside, Serena’s group make it to the tower and suddenly saw Elise landing on the ground and then running towards them in happiness)*

Elise: Hey!

*(Reunited at last, the group noticed Sugar Plum flying at them with her wings when Elise in determination fired her blast at her, knocking her back and unconscious)*

Kaya: Whoa, that was cool!

Meowth: The way you knocked her down!

*(They run back into the Haunted Forest. Later, Serena's group learned from Serena, Ash, Kaya, Team Rocket, and Elise’s discoveries)*

Christopher: Elise’s the lost Princess of Oz and Serena, Ash, and Kaya’s mothers were actually okay and looking for them?!

Serena, Ash, Kaya, Team Rocket, and Elise: Yes!

Jessie: Clear as crystal.

James: Right in front of a crystal ball even.

Meowth: Exactly.

*(Serena's group nods in an understanding way. Quackerjack then gave Serena the Elemental Sword back)*

Quackerjack: You need this, by the way.

*(Serena accepted it and tied the belt around her waist)*

Serena: Thanks.

Ash: But we still need to defeat Maleficent and Sugar Plum, find the DNA matcher, and get Maleficent’s wand!

Jiminy: My sentiments exactly!

James: Way ahead of you.

*(Looking at Maleficent’s castle, Serena's group got determined)*

Serena: We’ll have to go back and fight Maleficent first.

Kaya: Besides, we’ll finish her with the Elemental Sword’s water side.

Elise: And then we’ll handle Sugar Plum. Possibly, by smashing my amulet.

*(She shows her amulet. Serena's group got surprised at Elise’s suggestion)*

Serena: But you won’t have magic anymore if you break it.

Pikachu: What if you lose those powers?

Meowth: For, like, forever?

Elise: But I figured out that there might be a possibility that I have magic in me without the amulet since I was born with the golden flower’s magic.

*(Realizing Elise’s theory, Serena's group nods in agreement)*

Tiger: Alright. If you’re going for it, know that we’ll be by your side.

Christopher: All for one…!

Team Rocket: And one for all!

*(They look at Maleficent’s castle in determination and then ran to it)*

***Coming up: The final battle at last. Will Serena’s group come out victorious, return Elise to her true home in Emerald City, and get their dreams, or will they perish? Only fate will tell.***
