Pitch's Group's Orders/Into the Aqueduct Pipe

*(Meanwhile, at a dark-looking forest lair near the entrance to the Underworld, music is heard playing on a pipe organ. It’s then revealed to be Pitch’s group there with the owls and NightMares, livid at their humiliating defeat at the hands of Chihiro’s group and the heroes before, and the Duke is playing J.S. Back’s "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor." After that music is done playing, Pitch’s group then proceeded their explanation through song)*

Duke: **So he turns on the Duke?**

Pitch: **And with what do you suppose**

**He turns on the Duke?**

Owls: **What, masters?**

Pitch’s group: **A flashlight**

*(The owls and NightMares got shocked)*

Owls: **What a horrible thing to do**

**What a horrible thing to do**

**Thing to do**

*(Then the first owl got dumbfounded)*

Owl 1: Uh, what’s a flashlight?

*(Pitch’s group got annoyed)*

Pitch’s group: Fool!

Duke: It’s the sun on a stick.

Owls: (Worried) **Oh, no**

**Oh, no**

**Oh, no**

Hades: Enough!

*(They resumed their song)*

Hades: **We took the girl’s group captive**

**And we readied their torture**

Myotismon: **We tried to slice and dice them**

Vanitas: **Until they are nothing but pieces**

*(They composed themselves briefly)*

Hunter J: You know, the usual.

*(They resumed their song)*

Negaduck: **But then, when our backs were turned**

Duke: **What winged pest and his group**

**Comes sneaking through the window**

**That has the nerve to stop us and bite me?**

*(He shows his bandaged left leg from where Spyro bit him before)*

Owls: **Who, who, who, who?**

Owl 1: Who?

Pitch’s group: Spyro.

*(The owls and NightMares gasped in shock)*

Pitch’s group: Yes!

Owls: **Death to Spyro**

Pitch: **Destroy Magixtopia**

**Destroy the heroes**

**Destroy the purple dragon**

Duke: **Or do you want the Sun Boy back?**

Owls: **No, we hate the sun**

**The answer’s no**

Duke: (Rubbing his bandaged leg happily) And it’ll make my leg feel so much better.

*(Then they resumed their song again)*

Pitch’s group: **If that Sun Boy never crows**

*(They laughed evilly a bit and then owls and NightMares flew around the organ as Pitch’s group did their musical grand finale on the organ playing)*

Owls: **We hate the sun**

**That much we know**

**We hate the Sun Boy**

**Never let him crow**

Pitch’s group: **Never let him crow**

Owls: **We hate the sun**

**From head to toe**

Pitch’s group: **From head to toe**

Owls: **We hate the Sun Boy**

**We’ll never let him crow**

*(The owls and NightMares landed back on the ground as they concluded their song)*

Owls: **Never let him crow**

Pitch’s group: Never let him crow.

*(Then as soon as the song is over, four familiar henchmen arrived, zipping right into Pitch’s group in a hurry, knocking them onto the keyboard. As they recovered, Pitch’s group groaned a bit, and then as soon as they recovered, they glared at Pain, Panic, Hunch, and Demidevimon, who also recovered and then began to frantically try to explain away on something)*

Hunch, Demidevimon, Pain, and Panic: Uncle Dukey, guys! (Guys, guys!)

*(The Duke angrily shouts his magic blast into Hunch’s face, turning him into a duck-like creature while Hades shouts in anger, blasting a fireball at Pain, Panic, and Demidevimon, scorching their rears, causing them to dunk their rears into a water puddle nearby)*

Hunch: I wish you wouldn’t do that.

Demidevimon: (Rubbing his no longer burning rear) Ow, that burns.

Pain and Panic: (Rubbing their no longer burning rears) Yeah.

Vanitas: We told you not to crash into us again whenever you dart towards us.

Hunch: Well, we can’t help it. I can’t help being fast with them.

Hunter J: That’s no excuse…! *(She and Pitch’s group immediately realize something)* Wait, where’s the newcomers?

Six male voices: Here!

*(They turned and saw six males approaching in a hurry and upon stopping in front of Pitch’s group, they panted a bit, as if they were running so fast for so long, following the henchmen. The first male is a male anthro rat with peach skin, small eyes, white buckteeth, small whiskers, a black nose, and wearing a yellow and orange plug hat, dark blue goggles, a red, white, yellow, and silver battery pack with a blue crisscross outlet plug-like buckle clipped around the torso, a blue belt with a plug wire-carrying wheel on the left side, turquoise rubber gloves, turquoise boots, and a yellow long-sleeved jumpsuit with a neck collar flap. He is Megavolt, the crazy, yet intelligent, member of the Fearsome Four. The second male is a male anthro duck with white feathers, an orange beak and webbed feet, big white buckteeth, short light brown hair on the top of his head, and wearing a red and purple jester hat, both with jingle bells and acts like a mask, a pale blue court ruff around his neck, white gloves, a purple knee-length jumpsuit with a yellow waist line-like belt, long orange sleeves, one with red polka dots and another with red stripes, purple sleeve rims, and red shoes. He is Quackerjack, the hyperactive member of the Fearsome Four. The third male is a male half-anthro duck, half-anthro plant creature with green feathers, an orange beak, vines for arms, leaves for hands, brown root legs, purple dandelion-like hair, three tiny purple pollen-like antennae, and blue eyes. He is Bushroot, the pessimistic leader of the Fearsome Four. He is Bushroot. The fourth male is a male blue water-like anthro dog. He is Liquidator, the polite member of the Fearsome Four. The fifth male is a male anthro bat with short brown fur, a somewhat crippled left wing, yellow eyes, red eyebags around the eyes, and wearing a purple turtleneck tanktop, a violet and light violet scarf around his neck, black pants, a gray shoe on his left foot, a brown wooden peg leg in place of his right foot, and sometimes wore a black newsboy cap. He is Fidget. And the last male is a male anthro draconequus with a gray horse-like head, much different from other ponies' head styles, an off-white deer antler on the right, a baby blue goat horn on the left, one long white fang, yellow eyes with different-sized black pupils, a brown torso, a green snake tongue, a white goat beard, and white bushy eyebrows. He has the right light brown arm of a lion, the left yellow claw of an eagle, the right light green leg of a lizard, and the left light brown leg of a goat. In addition, he has a bat's right black wing, a Pegasus' left blue wing, a horse's black mane, and a dragon-like snake's red tail with a white tail tuft. The shape of his body resembles that of a snake. He bears a resemblance to a Chinese dragon, a creature often depicted with a serpentine body, facial hair, feline claws, and antlers. He is Discord. After composing themselves, the six began to chatter away in excitement, overlapping themselves until….)*

Pitch’s group: (Yelling in the six’s faces) ONE AT A TIME!!!!

*(The Fearsome Four, Fidget, and Discord, after being knocked down by the shouting, quieted down and then Bushroot spoke first as they got up)*

Bushroot: Sorry. But seriously, *(Fans his nose in disgust)* get a breath mint.

Fidget: Your breaths stink.

Pitch: (Flatly) Well, excuse us for not being minty fresh. *(Changes the subject while the Duke returns Hunch back to his normal pygmy owl form)* Anyway, did you find that purple dragon and his team?

*(The Phantom Mouse and Penguin Yokai removed their masks, revealing themselves to be, shocker, Ratigan and Drake respectively)*

Ratigan: Tell us you did.

Drake: Right now.

Fearsome Four, Fidget, and Discord: We did.

Discord: And we left them to report to you like you requested.

Pitch’s group: Excellent.

Vanitas: And the girl and her group; Are they with them?

Megavolt: Yep-er-rooney.

Liquidator: They were cursed by your transformation spell, but then Ignitus changed them back to their original forms, despite the kids still being under the spell.

*(Pitch’s group scoffed)*

Pitch: It doesn’t matter if they’re under the spell or not.

Hades: Now, listen. If you want us to set you free for good, ya gotta do what we say and destroy them. They’re bad guys, like we said, for they….

Quackerjack: We know, we know! They need Christopher to bring the sun back and kill us if they did.

Pitch’s group: Exactly!

Bushroot: Anyway, the group going to New York City; They just called themselves Team Sun.

Pitch’s group: Team Sun?

Duke: That’s a dumb name.

Malefor: Whose idea was it to create that name?

Megavolt: Oh, the girl and her group came up with that name.

Quackerjack: And among that group is this strange dragon boy whom they call Haku.

*(Pitch’s group suddenly reacted calmly in surprise on what Quackerjack just said, much to everyone’s notice)*

Panic: (To Demidevimon, Hunch, Pain, and Panic) Haku…. Why does that name ring a bell?

Demidevimon: How should I know?

Hunch: Yeah?

Pain: Maybe we owe him money?

*(Pitch’s group slowly got suspicious in an calm angry way)*

Pitch: What name did you say again?

Quackerjack: We just said Team….

Hades: Not that!

*(Realizing, Quackerjack explained)*

Quackerjack: Oh! It’s Haku. Why?

*(Pitch’s group turned to Demidevimon, Pain, Panic, and Hunch’s direction, calmly fuming with anger, for they now know of Haku still being alive and that their four henchmen lied to them 13 years ago. Even Vanitas, having been told of this, calmly fumed in anger)*

Liquidator: We take it you know him?

*(Demidevimon, Pain, Panic, and Hunch suddenly realized from the “Haku” subject)*

Demidevimon: Wait, I remember now!

Hunch: Me too, guys!

Pain: Wasn’t Haku the dragon kid we were supposed to…?

*(They suddenly see Pitch’s group fuming in anger at them)*

Demidevimon, Pain, Panic, and Hunch: Oh, my god!

*(They attempt to run away in fear)*

Panic: Run for it!

*(But too late; Hades’ hands stretched out in smoke form and grabbed Demidevimon’s legs and Pain, Panic, and Hunch’s tails and dragged them towards him and a very livid Pitch’s group)*

Hades: So, you took care of him, eh? “Dead as a door nail.”

Pitch: “Totally annihilated.”

*(Hades then returned his arms and hands to normal as he held Demidevimon, Hunch, Pain, and Panic by their necks)*

Hades: Were those your exact words?!

Demidevimon: (Nervously) Maybe it’s a different dragon boy named Haku!

Hunch: (Nervously) Like he said!

Panic: (Nervously) Yeah! I mean Haku is a *(Strangled along with Hunch by Hades)* very popular name nowadays!

Pain: You recall how some boys are named Jason, and some girls are named Brittany?

Pitch: We’re about to rearrange the cosmos for our conquest….

*(Hades then angrily throws the henchmen onto the ground, making Pain and Panic turn into cockroaches)*

Hades: And this one Schimel who could louse it up with the Sun Boy, *(Starts to angrily flame up)* is waltzing towards New York City with his *(Bursts into angry flames, blasting flames across the forest)* BROTHER AND FRIENDS AFTER THAT SUN BOY!!

*(Everyone ducked, with Pitch’s group dodging in calm anger and the others dodging in a panic, dodging the flame blasts Hades unleashed on the forest, resulting some of the trees to be disintegrated. As Hades calmed his anger down, he panted in calm anger while everyone got up in recovery. Then the henchmen, remembering they made Haku a mortal dragon boy 13 years ago, got happy)*

Demidevimon: Wait a minute!

Pain: (Changing back to normal) We can still cut on his waltzing, guys!

Hunch: That’s right!

Panic: (Changing back to normal, to Pitch’s group) At least we made him a *mortal* dragon boy! *(To Demidevimon, Pain, and Hunch)* Didn’t we?

*(Demidevimon, Hunch, and Pain nods in agreement. That made Pitch’s group calmly melt their anger away as they pondered on what they just said. Then they smirked evilly, glad to hear that)*

Pitch’s group: We see….

Pitch: Fortunately, we still have time to correct this egregious error.

Duke: And this time, no foul ups.

Negaduck: And some of us will go with you to make sure of it.

*(The owls, NightMares, henchmen, Fearsome Four, Discord, and Fidget nods and then they flew off by flying, or by hoverboards for the Fearsome Four’s case, taking Drake, who masked himself, Ratigan, who also masked himself, Negaduck, Myotismon, Hunter J, and Vanitas with while the Duke, Pitch, Malefor, and Hades stayed behind. With Team Sun, they sailed on the floodwaters that were once a field as rain poured down. Then they spot a big submerged tree coming at them)*

Female members of Team Sun: Tree!

*(Haku quickly sailed to the left, away from the tree, making them sigh in relief)*

Ed: That was close.

*(Then Chihiro and Haku spots a nearby sign that reads “New York City, 30 miles.” They then called out to Team Sun)*

Chihiro: We have 30 miles left!

Haku: We’re getting closer!

*(Team Sun cheered a bit)*

Basil: Wonderful!

Sparx: We’ll be there in no time at all!

*(Nearby, the henchmen, owls, NightMares, and Fidget and Myotismon’s groups are flying towards Team Sun’s ship’s direction, unaware that the ship is front of them, as Hunch hums “Ride of the Valkyries,” much to Fidget and Myotismon’s groups’ annoyance)*

Discord: Do you really have to hum that?

Hunch: Yep!

Negaduck: It’s annoyingly driving us crazy.

Hunch: Sorry, Negaduckie. Geneva convention.

Negaduck: (Groans a bit in anger and annoyance) I hate being called cute names like “Negaduckie!”

*(They spot the ship)*

Demidevimon: There they are!

Hunch: Total and complete *(Chuckles a bit)* annihilation!

*(They dive at the ship)*

Hunch: Bombs away!

*(He swoops down at the deck, knocking Mei overboard)*

Satsuki: Mei!

*(Liquidator dives into the water and pulls Mei under, much to Team Sun’s concern as they fought against the villains and pawns. Remembering her water elemental powers, Chihiro got determined along with Satsuki, changed into their magic forms, and dove into the water. They spot Liquidator’s silhouette strangling Mei, who is struggling to hold her breath. Then Chihiro blasted a bubble blast at Liquidator, making him release Mei and after Satuki grabs her, they and Mei broke the surface and flew back onboard. Then Mei and Kanta transformed into their magic forms and they and Team Sun proceeded to try and fend off the villains and pawns as Liquidator joined the fight)*

Liquidator: Are you tired of being wet by the rain? Hate to get your clothes wet? Then allow Quackerjack to hang you out to dry with his Fun Fan!

*(Quackerjack then cackles a bit as he turned on a powerful fan, unleashing a gust of wind at Team Sun)*

Quackerjack: It’s playtime!

*(Seeing the sail, Haku got an idea. Then he gestured to Chihiro to go along with his plan, to which she understood with a nod. Then Haku transformed into his dragon form and he and Chihiro let go of the railing and were sent flying off the ship, much to Team Sun’s concern)*

Satsuki: Chihiro, Haku!

Vanitas: (Chuckles evilly a bit) It’s curtains for you as well!

*(Suddenly, some flashing lights struck the villains, separating them from Fidget’s group and destroying the fan. Then the flashing revealed itself to be Chihiro and Haku blasting flashing lights at them. Then after the villains fell into the water, Team Sun and Fidget’s group noticed a pipe entrance coming their way)*

Tails: Activating sub mode!

*(Then he turns Team Sun’s ship into a submarine and they entered the pipe. Above the pipe’s entrance, it read “Danger! Aqueduct pipe to New York City.” With the villains, they recovered as they climbed onto a nearby tree’s branches, panting and coughing a bit. Then Pain, Panic, Hunch, and Demidevimon spotted the sign)*

Pain, Panic, Hunch, and Demidevimon: (Misreading) Adequate pipe to Moo Yorg Kitty.

*(They made a victory gesture happily. Then they turned to Myotismon’s group, the owls, and NightMares)*

Pain: Good news!

Hunch: They’re annihilated!

*(Without second guessing since they didn’t notice the sign, Myotismon’s group, the owls, and NightMares, upon hearing them, smirks evilly)*

Myotismon’s group: Excellent!

Vanitas: We may have lost Widget’s group, but what the heck?

Negaduck: It’s a victorious sacrifice we had to make.

*(Then they flew off to go return to Pitch’s group and tell them the “Good news.” In the aqueduct pipe, the ship flowed through it in a fast pace. Inside, Bushroot, Megavolt, and Quackerjack are angry and panicked)*

Quackerjack: Take us captive, eh?!

Megavolt: Let us out of here!

Bushroot: Please!

*(Then Megavolt, Bushroot, and Quackerjack pulled out their own pegs and started pecking some tiny holes onto a wall nearby. Team Sun, with Haku, Chihiro, Satsuki, Mei, and Kanta back in their human forms, restrained them, as well as restrained the rest of Fidget’s group)*

Kanta: Are you crazy?!

Yuki: Stop making holes!

Elizabeth: And you’re our hostages from here on out!

*(Suddenly, Megavolt, Bushroot, and Quackerjack broke free from their grips and resumed pecking more tiny holes onto the ceiling this time. Suddenly, a very thin line of water squirted onto Charmy, making him notice the first set of tiny holes weakly squirting water)*

Charmy: (Concerned) Uh, guys?

*(Everyone, except Megavolt, Bushroot, and Quackerjack, noticed what Charmy is pointing at and then, water started squirting and pouring into the ship from the two sets of tiny holes, much to Team Sun and even Fidget’s group’s concern)*

Ed: The walls are crying water!

*(They then noticed Megavolt, Bushroot, and Quackerjack pecking more holes onto another part of the wall, squirting more water into the ship)*

Megavolt: Let us out!

Quackerjack: I can’t stand it!

Bushroot: Help, somebody!

*(Then Espio, Shadow, and Haku roughly grabbed Bushroot, Megavolt, and Quackerjack respectively and restrained them as they pulled out three pairs of ropes while Team Sun is trying to block out the water, despite the ship still flooding at a fast pace)*

Haku, Shadow, and Espio: Stop it!

Fidget: Are you trying to drown us?!

*(Then Haku, Shadow, and Espio tied Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Bushroot together, as well as tied their hands behind their backs)*

Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Bushroot: Untie us!

*(Shadow, Espio, and Haku then roughly gagged them both with cloths)*

Shadow: Not a chance!

Haku: Settle down!

Espio: Right now!

Blaze: Silver, how long is this pipe?!

*(Silver quickly sensed it and realized in relief)*

Silver: One mile left.

*(Noticing the water up to their necks, Sonic shouted out)*

Sonic: Deep breath, deep br…!

*(Then as water started to submerge the interior of the ship, everyone held their breaths. Then miraculously, as Silver sensed, the ship emerged from the water upon being dumped out of the aqueduct pipe into the sewers, draining water. Then Team Sun and Fidget’s group opened the ship up and emerged, gasping for air. They then turned to Liquidator)*

Discord: (Panting a bit) Thanks, Licky.

Liquidator: (To Discord) You’re welcome. *(To Team Sun with a glare)* And that was a one-time only.

*(Suddenly, they heard rumbling from afar. They looked and saw….)*

Fievel: A waterfall!

Olivia: Hang on!

*(Then after everyone hung onto the ship, the ship plunged down the waterfall, and upon plunging underwater, the ship broke apart, causing everyone to swim onto a huge debris, and during the impact from the water, Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Bushroot, due to the force of the water’s impact, were untied and ungagged)*

Megavolt: One minute we were enclosed, then we’re tied up, and now…!

*(The debris then floated through some waves and crashed onto a beachside at nighttime, with no rainstorms, knocking Team Sun and Fidget’s group onto the sandy beach)*

Ed: Land ho!

Eddy: Ya think, Ed?

*(Then, Ed noticed Fidget’s group running away as they recovered)*

Ed: Fidget’s group must be in a hurry.

*(Noticing, Team Sun charged at Fidget’s group and Silver stopped them by yanking them back with his psychokinesis)*

Silver: Not so fast.

*(Then he wrapped some psychokinetic chains around Fidget’s group’s waistlines. Angered, Fidget’s group tried to break them off, but to no avail)*

Fidget: Get these off!

Silver: Sorry, but no can do. They’re magic-proof, escape-proof, and only *I* can remove them.

*(The Fearsome Four and Discord then tried to attack him with their magic attacks, but nothing came out)*

Silver: And prevents you from attacking non-evil people.

Liquidator: Just great!

Discord: Our powers stripped by a bunch of…!

*(They suddenly stopped in surprise and got confused that they stopped being angry)*

Discord: Wait, did you say “Non-evil people…?”

Megavolt: We were told you were evil guys who doesn’t care about life from the sun.

Bushroot: And that you use Christopher for evil purposes.

Vector: (Flatly glaring) Really?

Espio: We can tell Pitch’s group deceived you.

*(Fidget’s group got confused. Pitch’s group deceiving them? Why? Then they got suspicious)*

Quackerjack: What makes you think *you’re* not deceiving us?

Sparx: Because we’re the honest ones, not Pitch’s group.

Cynder: So, until we can learn to trust each other….

Spyro: You’re staying with us.

Fidget’s group: (Aghast) “Trust?!”

Quackerjack: (Scoffs) We’d rather suck a lemon than stay with you!

Megavolt: If I weren’t stripped, I would…!

*(He tried to zap Team Sun, but still no magic blast of electricity)*

Megavolt: Zap you into oblivion.

Quackerjack: That’s because we’re stripped of our powers, Sparky.

Megavolt: (Angrily) Don’t call me “Sparky!”

Haku: Listen up!

*(Fidget’s group quiet down)*

Haku: We’re gonna prove to you that we’re not evil like Pitch’s group claim. So, we’re gonna offer you a deal.

*(Hearing him say that, Fidget’s group listened)*

Liquidator: We’re listening, Dragon Boy.

Haku: If you let us help you give us a chance and maybe, just maybe, even help us find Christopher and bring the sun back up, saving Magixtopia and the real world, then we promise you, a Dragon Boy like myself of my word, that we’ll set you free.

*(Fidget’s group gave suspicious glares while pouting)*

Haku: And when someone like me makes a sincere promise and deal like that, that promise and deal must be kept and true.

*(Team Sun held their hands out for a handshake. Fidget’s group tensed in anger calmly, and then gave in grudgingly)*

Fidget’s group: Fine, deal!

*(They shake hands. Once the deal is made, Team Sun and Fidget’s group looked at the beach and saw, to their surprise….)*

Chihiro’s group: New York City….

*(Team Sun looked at Chihiro’s group proudly)*

Basil: I knew we’d make it.

Double D: Never had a doubt.

*(Then they, and Fidget’s group, walked towards New York City)*

Megavolt: Let’s just go find your Sun Boy and get this over with.

Mei: (Smugly) Whatever you say…. *(Giggles a bit)* Sparky.

*(Megavolt groans a bit in anger)*

Megavolt: How many times do I have to tell everyone?! DON’T, CALL, ME, “SPARKY!!”

*(He then waves his fist in anger at Mei)*

Megavolt: YOU DRIVE ME MAD!! MAD, I TELL YOU!! MAD!!

Haku: Relax!

*(He bonks Megavolt on his head, making him stop freaking out in anger. Then they resumed their walk towards New York City)*

***Coming up: After their second failure to attempt to make a skunk pie, Pitch and Myotismon’s groups soon learns from the henchmen that they misread the aqueduct pipe sign and orders them and Myotismon’s group to go to New York City and stop Team Sun. And at New York City, Team Sun and Fidget’s group, while searching around for Christopher, not only enjoy the sights, but also started to warm up to each other.***
