The Heroes' Arrival at the Kingdom of Miwaku/Consulting Cranky

*(The next morning, the jungle-forest group, except Ash and Sonic’s groups, woke up to the sound of something chopping lightly on a piece of wood with Riven's pocket knife. They looked around and saw that the noise is coming from Miguel, Ash, and Sonic’s groups carving something on pieces of broken bark from a wood)*

Miguel, Ash, and Sonic’s groups: Good morning, guys!

*(Then after they finished carving what appeared to be the last broken bark, the heroes came out in curiosity)*

Serena: What were you carving on those?

Riven: Names.

Heroes: What names?

Sonic: Well, your names, that’s what.

*(They show the carved broken barks, revealing some of the group members’ names on them. The heroes stared in blank silence at first)*

Amy Rose: Some little gifts from Miguel and Ash’s groups to Serena and the Winx Club’s groups.

*(A short pause, then Serena and the Winx Club’s groups squealed with delight and then giggled. At first, Miguel, Sonic, and Ash’s groups thought they squealed in an upset way and then cried)*

Miguel: *Lo siento*, girls. We just tried to be creative with these gifts.

Knuckles: With our help, that is.

Kanta: So, don’t cry anymore.

*(But Serena and the Winx Club’s groups stopped giggling and explained with little giggles)*

Mei: (Giggles) We’re not crying or upset.

Sheeta: (Giggles) We were laughing with you.

Therru: (Giggles) We love these!

Tecna: Nothing to be ashamed of on these pieces of art.

Stella: They’re pretty!

Bloom: And our names are carved really well!

*(Miguel, Ash, and Sonic’s group smiled a bit, glad that Serena and the Winx Club’s groups loved them)*

Flora: Where did you find these broken wood, a dead tree?

Miguel, Ash, and Sonic’s groups: (Nods) Yeah.

Timmy: And we made sure we put the dead tree out of its pain like you taught us.

Shadow: And Miguel’s group did a real good job on that with our help.

Rouge: Yep!

Cosmo: They just tenderly pressed their hands on the dead tree, and then we used our magic to put it to rest.

Blaze: And then we broke some of these pieces off and decided to give these to you after carving the names on.

Pazu: Miguel’s group came up with that idea to show their thanks for all of us teaching them last night.

Shyla: So, you felt the dead tree’s pain first like we taught you?

Miguel, Ash, and Sonic’s groups: Yep!

*(The heroes calmly smiled with impressed looks. Even Figment's group got impressed)*

Figment's group: Well….

Jiji: But where will we keep these?

Kiki: Jiji has a point.

*(Then as if answering Jiji’s question, Tikal and Kairi magically shrunk the carved barks down into Sky’s pants pockets for the Winx Club’s group’s names and the carved barks into Serena’s backpack for Serena’s group’s names)*

Sky: What’s that for?

Serena: Yeah?

Tikal: To keep them safe.

Kairi: And when you pull them out, they return to normal size.

Tikal: And when you put them back, they….

Sky and Serena: (Figuring it out) Shrink back down.

Tikal and Kairi: Yes.

Brandon: Hey, Stella?

Stella: Yeah?

Brandon: I just have to admit; You are one bodacious babe.

*(Stella got confused)*

Brandon: It's a compliment we humans use.

*(Realizing, Stella got flattered)*

Stella: Aw, thanks.

*(Noticing a spiderless cobweb on a small branch, Miguel picked it up)*

Miguel: Reminds me of my guitar.

Yi: What's a get-tar?

Miguel: A musical instrument.

Jin: Want Miguel to play it?

Yi: Sure.

*(Then Miguel played on the branch like it's a guitar. Getting the tune, Genie even acted like a mariachi band. After that's over, the heroes applauded a bit)*

Ron: That was cool with your guitar, especially the mariachi band from Genie.

Blaze: How is it cold, Ron?

Ron: No, no, no. Even though “Cool” means a little cold, I meant “Cool” as in a compliment that humans say.

Blaze: (Realizing) Oh, I get it.

Sonic: Then that’s gr…. *(Changes his sentence)* I mean, cool.

Figment: (Chuckling) Awesome use of the language, dude.

Megavolt: (Chuckling in agreement) Yeah, tubular.

Popple: Yep-er-rooney.

Aladdin: My guess from how Figment, Megavolt, and Popple said those, that’s what humans say as well?

Shrunken humans: Yep!

Shadow: I guess the language we speak with you is nothing to be ashamed of.

Nick: Thanks, Shadow.

*(He hugs him, much to Shadow’s calm surprise. Then after that, Shadow recovered and clears his throat)*

Nick: Sorry.

Shadow: It’s alright.

Sonic: I had no idea you like being given soft hugs.

Roxas: Let alone being a little tough soft hugs.

Shadow: Sometimes.

*(Then the heroes resumed their flight. Far away from there, Xehanort’s group and their army of Globlins are causing destruction, killing floral life in their way and polluting various spots in their path. Then Mephiles, Xigbar, and Infinite forcefully brought up Leatherhead and Goanna to Xehanort’s group)*

Mephiles: Found the eavesdroppers.

Infinite: As you wanted.

Xigbar: They tried to run, but we got 'em.

*(Xehanort’s group smirked evilly at Leatherhead and Goanna. Turned out offscreen, they overheard Leatherhead and Goanna, after following them secretly, discussing on how to help the Forest Spirits save Miwaku Jungle-Forest and the Kingdom of Miwaku now that Daphne is dead and that the pod is being taken to safety, and Mephiles, Xigbar, and Infinite have caught the two under Xehanort’s group’s orders)*

Myotismon: My army and I imagine why you are both here?

Xehanort: Especially when we found you.

Leatherhead: Jumbalaya, excuse us?!

Goanna: We were marched here through force!

Leatherhead: And we are extremely shocked to see Mephiles freed from his tree prison!

Vanitas: We couldn’t help but overhear that you heard that the pod is being “Taken to safety.”

Hunter J: Especially after Daphne died.

*(Realizing what this is about, Leatherhead and Goanna scoffed)*

Goanna: This is none of your business!

Leatherhead: Yeah! It’s bad enough our Shaman Queen died, but your loss?

*(He and Goanna chuckled a bit)*

Leatherhead: You lost your idiot younger prince from what we heard, I guarantee.

Goanna: That’s good enough for us.

*(A short pause, then Xehanort’s group glared calmly and angrily)*

Vanitas: That idiot younger prince….

*(He smashes a nearby tree trunk to smithereens, concerning Leatherhead and Goanna)*

Vanitas: WAS MY BROTHER!!

*(After that was done, Xehanort’s group in calm anger slowly approached Leatherhead and Goanna in a threatening way, making the two nervous)*

Leatherhead: (Nervously) Yeah, about what we said. We were just kidding around, you betcha!

*(They both chuckle nervously)*

Goanna: (Nervously) He had your…. Nice dark, brooding looks…. Uh…. Forgiving nature….

Xehanort’s group: SILENCE!!

*(Leatherhead and Goanna got concerned and nervous. Then Vanitas, Xemnas, and Demidevimon aimed their Keyblade, saber blades, and Demi Dart respectively at the two of them in a threatening way)*

Xehanort: Where are they taking the pod?

Myotismon: Tell us!

*(Leatherhead and Goanna began to sweat nervously)*

Vanitas: You gonna talk?

Xemnas: Or are *you* gonna have the same fate as that Shaman Queen?

*(Leatherhead and Goanna got nervous even more. Later, Leatherhead and Goanna were shoved onto the ground, apparently freed for being forced to tell the villains where the pod is being taken)*

Vanitas: (Sneeringly) Thank you for your cooperation.

Xehanort: And we’ll be sure the Forest Spirits know one last time that you said hello to them.

*(Then with that, Xehanort’s group and their army headed for the direction of the Kingdom of Miwaku. Concerned, Leatherhead and Goanna got calmly determined and headed for the same destination, but on a different path. Back with the heroes, they flew towards their destination calmly. Suddenly, their stomachs growled and they ended up landing on the ground)*

Little Russ: Do you Forest Spirits eat anything else other than berries?

Jungle-Forest denizens: Of course.

San: We eat strange kinds of food.

Miguel: Like what?

San: Like these sweet tasting bread topped with this strange-looking thick blob of white or colorful strange-looking sap.

*(Realizing, Nick explained)*

Nick: That's called a cake. And this sap you mention; It's called icing.

Ashitaka: That's a strange name.

Nick: Yeah. When you and your kingdom meet us humans, we'll introduce you to new kinds of food.

Ron: And drinks different from water and juice you drink.

*(Interested, the jungle-forest denizens nods. Then Mei spots something and gasps. Hearing her, they looked and got amazed like she just got. They are staring at the cookie sandwich, the very same one Wayne left last night)*

Amy: I died and gone to Heaven.

Nick: And we were just talking about this kind of food.

Iago: Wait! That's food?

Nick: Yeah!

Satsuki: Let's dig in!

*(They rush at the cookie sandwich)*

Ron: I get dips on the cream filling with Nick!

*(They climbed onto the cookie and right next to the cream filling center. Everest and the Pokemon smelled it)*

Meowth: Wow! Smells sweet.

Pikachu: (Happily) Pika!

Amy: This, compared to a cake, is called a cookie sandwich.

Nick: Named so because of this cream filling here.

Serena: Try it.

*(The shrunken humans broke a small chunk of their own cookie and dipped it in the cream. Then they began to eat it)*

Kiki: (Mouth full) Oh, I missed eating these!

*(Amazed by the way the shrunken humans are enjoying the cookie, the jungle-forest denizens stared at them eating and then the non-serious members excitedly joined in the feast as well while the serious members just calmly gave in happily and joined in as well. And pretty soon, they're all enjoying the cookie sandwich)*

Ron: (Swallows a bite) They're not gonna believe this in school when we get big again.

(The shrunken humans chuckled in agreement)

Nick: And I can just picture this; Dear Ms. Madison, Nick is not absent. He's pinned to this note a cookie chunk.

*(They laughed a bit and after finishing their pieces and climbing off the cookie, they suddenly jumped in surprise when they heard a familiar voice)*

Jim: Hey, guys!

*(They turned and saw it's Jim and his crows, and they're feeding some of the cookie chunks to some ants)*

Amy Rose: You're feeding some ants?

James: How very peculiar.

Jim: Yeah! These ants showed us this object and we learned it's human food.

Preacher: In other words, it made us realize there are, indeed, humans here.

Strawhat: And it wasn't crazy-soundin' at all.

Fat: But the question is; Did you see any humans?

Glasses: And where are they?

*(The jungle-forest denizens ushered the shrunken humans gently to them and Jim and the crows got amazed)*

Jim: I'll be a monkey's uncle! Humans!

Preacher: But, uh, aren't humans supposed to be bigger?

(Later, all was explained)

Jim: Ah, that's explains it.

Preacher: Full of gripping testimonies.

Little Russ: And about helping feed the ants....

*(They looked at the ants working to carry the cookie sandwich. Getting an idea, the heroes and even Jim and the crows worked on building a twig and twine-themed wagon, even with Amy taking a cookie chunk and feeding an ant. Getting this, the ants let them help put the cookie sandwich on there and once that's done, the ants left with their meal. Then the heroes turned to Jim and the crows)*

Satsuki: And your kingdom; Is it nearby?

*(And then, as if answering her question, all was silent until the shrunken humans saw in amazement and wonder at the Kingdom of Miwaku itself upon arrival by following Jim, his crows, and the jungle-forest denizens)*

Shrunken humans: Wow….

Therru: It’s pretty!

Miguel: So, this is…?

Jungle-Forest group: Yep!

Bloom: The Kingdom of Miwaku.

Sonic: Our home.

Sora: We fly and grow as we please.

Jim: And use magic.

*(Upon arrival, they landed while Figment's group accidentally crashed onto the ground in their faces, trying to make a quick landing)*

Figment's group: Ow…!

Megavolt: I’m blind! Oh, no!

Quackerjack: No, you're not!

*(They recovered themselves and Megavolt realized he’s not blind)*

Megavolt: I can see, it’s a miracle!

*(The heroes just chuckled and smiled a bit)*

Iago: Yeah, a miracle you didn’t break your jaws.

Megavolt: (Feelings hurt) You don’t care?

Bushroot: (Feelings hurt) Some friends.

Iago: Of course we care.

Megavolt and Bushroot: You sure?

Iago: (To Megavolt and Bushroot) We’re positive, *(To the heroes, Jim, and crows)* right?

Heroes, Jim, and crows: Yeah.

Megavolt: Usually, fools are positive.

Bushroot: Yeah.

Riven: (Playfully) You both sure?

Megavolt and Bushroot: I’m positive.

*(They realized what they said, making the heroes laugh a bit)*

Megavolt and Bushroot: (Starting to laugh) We fell for it….

*(Then they all laughed together)*

Quackerjack: You fell for it like two gullible stooges, Sparky!

Megavolt: (Laughing) Don't call me "Sparky."

*(After that’s done later, the jungle-forest group escorted the shrunken humans through the kingdom to the glade where Oritel and Miriam are. Upon seeing each other, they bowed while the shrunken humans watched)*

Oritel: Did you figure out what the smoke is? We forgot to investigate on that.

Miriam: And where’s Daphne?

*(The group calmly went grim. Later, after all was told of the smoke’s source and Daphne’s death, except for what Miguel’s group told the group about the red marks which they forgot to bring up, they headed for the Miwakuan Tree where all the Forest Spirits are, having heard that they are gonna be told by Oritel, Miriam, and this Cranky some good news and bad news. And by now, the jungle-forest denizen members of the heroes have cleaned themselves up upon their return home in this kingdom and their clothes are now cleaned)*

Nabu: Does anybody in this kingdom know what the good and bad news are yet?

Miriam: Not yet. Until me, Oritel, and Cranky tell them.

Kiki: Just what does Cranky look like?

Oritel: He’s what we call the wise old man of the jungle-forest.

Sonic: And a little bit like a crazy uncle.

Sora: And a grumpy one.

*(The jungle-forest group glared flatly at Sonic and Sora, making them add in an extra explanation, since they respect this Cranky)*

Sonic and Sora: Sometimes.

*(Then they all enter a huge hollow interior of the tree and then a male voice made an announcement as three female Forest Spirit singers vocalized)*

Male voice: (Voice-over) Friends! Neighbors! Prepare to see your worries…. Disappear! I know rumors have been flying…. But the truth is never as bad as it seems. I have just returned from inside this tree…. From the Rings of Knowledge…. Where every memory…. Every event that ever happens in Miwaku Jungle-Forest…. Is recorded in these scrolls by….

*(Then a male ape appeared from a puff of magic clouds carrying a wooden stick like a staff and cane combined. He is an elderly male anthro ape with peach skin, brown fur, gray eyes, white beard and eyebrows, and wearing spectacles and a gray sleeveless sweater and sometimes carried a brown walking stick. That is Cranky Kong, the crazy grumpy uncle-like wise man of Miwaku Jungle-Forest himself, and the one who was just speaking)*

Cranky: Me! Wise old Cranky Kong!

*(Then he starts singing)*

Cranky: **Listen, party poopers**

**I’ve got something to say**

**Dry your weeping eyes**

**We’re gonna be okay**

**So you don’t have to worry**

**About a doggone thing**

**The Rings of Knowledge**

**Knows everything**

**The scrolls never lie**

**And, honey, neither does Cranky**

**It’s right here in my hands**

**All like a Waikiki**

**So tuck your little fears**

**And put them right into bed**

**There’s not only humans here**

**But also the Shaman Queen is….**

*(He looks in a scroll he’s holding, but then stops upon seeing what it says in shock)*

Cranky: That the Shaman Queen….

*(The Forest Spirits got confused and concerned)*

Forest Spirit 1: What?

Forest Spirit 2: What does it say?

*(Cranky then ushered the singers to continue)*

Singers: **Dry your weeping eyes**

**We’re gonna be fine**

**Everything is**

**Really gonna be all right**

*(The Forest Spirits clamored up)*

Forest Spirits: Get to the point!

*(Cranky then spoke up)*

Cranky: I’ll be in a moment! Be right back!

Forest Spirit 3: You better!

*(He goes backstage and then got concerned over what he just read. Then the group and Oritel and Miriam appeared)*

Cranky: Oh, guys! Did you notice my reaction from the scroll I just read? Daphne is…!

Oritel: We know.

Miriam: But there’s hope.

Cranky: How? We don’t have a pod!

*(Iago and Zazu cleared their throats and pulled the pod out of the bag, making Cranky relieved)*

Cranky: Oh, good! The pod is safe!

Roxy: And since Daphne is dead, can you consult us on how to make it bloom under the full moon?

*(Thinking it over, Cranky nods)*

Cranky: Yes. I’ll read you that scroll.

*(Later in the scroll chambers, Cranky found the scroll on the pod blooming manual, and read it)*

Cranky: It says “To bloom a pod under the full moon’s light, place it in the water altar at night before or while the full moon’s light arrives at that spot.”

Xion: And if it blooms in the dark?

Cranky: That’s all it says, unfortunately. So, I honestly don’t know what will happen if it bloomed outside the moonlight at the altar.

Miguel: How do you know that’s all it says?

*(Cranky showed the end of the scroll have a perfect tear at the edge)*

Cranky: See?

*(Oritel, Miriam, Riku, and Shadow inspects it carefully)*

Shadow: It looked like someone ripped it.

Oritel, Miriam, and Riku: Yeah….

*(Later, out on stage, Oritel, Miriam, and Cranky came out to the crowd)*

Forest Spirit 1: Are you gonna tell us now?

*(Oritel, Miriam, and Cranky explained away)*

Oritel: We have good news and bad news, like you heard.

Miriam: The good news, like Cranky said already, we have human guests.

*(She ushered to the left side of the stage leading off of it, and the shrunken humans came up, making the Forest Spirits interested)*

Forest Spirits: Wow….

Girl Miwakuan: Now do you believe that humans are not extinct, Grandpa?

Old male Miwakuan: Yes….

Forest Spirit 3: And what’s the bad news?

Cranky: The bad news; Our Shaman Queen Daphne is dead.

*(The Forest Spirits and Forest Warriors got shocked, but then were quieted down by Oritel, Miriam, and Cranky)*

Cranky: It’ll be fine!

*(They show the pod, calming and relieving everyone)*

Cranky: We have the pod safe here!

Miriam: So the full moon will bloom it tomorrow night!

Oritel: And the day after that, we shall have our new Ruler and Shaman Ruler of Miwaku!

Cranky: And Daphne would never want us to mourn for her forever! So the pod’s moonlight bloom will be a commemoration of her life!

Oritel: And eventually, mine and Miriam’s!

*(The Forest Spirits, feeling better already, clamored in agreement)*

Oritel, Miriam, and Cranky: To Daphne!

Forest Spirits and Forest Warriors: To Daphne!

Shrunken humans: To Daphne!

*(They all cheer. Later, everyone learned from the crows about something else in shock)*

Everyone: What?!

Lea: What do you mean the musicians are sick with the flu?!

Roxas: Without any musicians, how can we celebrate Daphne’s life without music?

*(Suddenly, a little Miwakuan boy returned, getting everyone’s attention)*

Miwakuan boy: Hey, guys! I found something weird next to the tree!

*(Concerned and confused, everyone followed the Miwakuan to the spot he was before, wondering what he found)*

***Coming up: The group discovers and brings in a harmless “Something weird” that the Miwakuan boy found and upon learning how to have fun with it from the shrunken humans and even Aladdin and Ash’s groups, start the celebration of Daphne’s life. Later, the couples from the heroes group, after receiving permission from Oritel, Miriam, and Aladdin’s group, spends the night along with Figment's group at the Memory Tree Grove and its pond after having a romantic deer antler ride and romantic swim.***
