Trading Link's Slingshot for the Black Cauldron/Merlin and Mim's Magic Duel as Part of the Trade and Deal

*(Later, back in the room, after all was explained, Mim, the Kanker Sisters, and crows set up a trading post set as Team Hylia, Merlin, Archimedes, and Grumpy watched)*

Knuckles: So, let me and my friends get this straight.

Miko: You want us to trade something to you for the Black Cauldron?

Mim, Kanker Sisters, and crows: Yep!

Marie: However, it ain’t gonna be free!

May: So either make a deal or leave us.

Lee: We’re always a trio of girls for a bargain.

Mim: Besides myself, of course.

Fat Tony: And as you may have guessed; You also know that my men and I also make bargains as part of our organized crime duties.

Mim: Yep! And if all of you trade just *one* thing for the Black Cauldron, then afterwards....

*(She eyes Merlin smugly)*

Mim: Merlin and I must have a magic duel as soon as the trade is made, as part of a magic wielder's tradition, whether they be wizards or witches.

*(She giggles madly a bit, much to Team Hylia, Merlin, Grumpy, and Archimedes' aghast surprise)*

Grumpy: WHAT?!

Lee: You heard her.

Dreadwing: (Explaining in agreement) That is, unfortunately, part of tradition for witchcraft and wizardry.

Skyquake: (Nods) Yes.

Mim: If I win, then you will not take the Black Cauldron by trade, but if Merlin wins, then the trade is complete, and the Black Cauldron will be all yours.

Louie Walters: Oh yeah?

Raf: Merlin's the most powerful wizard in the world.

Mim: More like the most powerful bungler in the world.

Merlin: (Aghast while Team Hylia, Archimedes, and Grumpy were shocked on what Mim called Merlin) I beg your pardon?!

Mim: Why, I've got more magic in one little finger.

Breakdown: (Skeptically) Really?

Mim: Now, don't tell me any of you've never seen any real magic from me, the marvelous Madam Mim?

Yuffie: Well, no, never seen *your* magic.

Quackerjack: Some of us, that is.

Mim: Why, I'm the greatest. I'm truly marvelous!

*(Then she begins singing while the Kanker Sisters and crows just rolled their eyes in disgust and annoyance, knowing full well that Mim likes to gloat about herself in vain)*

Mim: **With only a touch**

**I have the power**

**Zim zab rim bim**

**To whither a flower I find**

**Delight in the gruesome and grim**

Zelda: (Appalled) Oh, that's terrible!

Mim: Thank you, Princess. But that's nothing, nothing for me. No!

*(Then she resumed singing)*

Mim: **'Cause I'm the magnificent**

**Marvelous, Mad Madam Mim**

**You know what?**

**I can even change size**

**I can be huge**

*(On "Huge," she turns into a giant and reaches for the roof, only to bump her head against it)*

Mim: **In the whole house**

*(She turns into a small fairy-sized person)*

Mim: **I can be teeny**

**Small as a mouse**

*(Then she magically returned herself to her normal size)*

Mim: **Black sorcery is my dish of tea**

**Oh, it comes easy to me**

**'Cause I'm the magnificent**

**Marvelous, Mad Madam Mim**

*(Then she begins gloating)*

Mim: Marvelous, boys and girls! Marvelous, I'm marvelous! Say, lads and lasses, did you know that I can make myself uglier yet?

Link: (Scoffs) Well, that would be some trick.

Jack: (Agreeing) I bet.

Starscream: (Agreeing) I believe you wouldn’t scare anyone if you were ugly.

Mim: (Smugly) Want to bet?

*(Then she covered her entire face with her hair and then parted her hair sideways like curtains, revealing her face to be an ugly pigface with small spots on her chin and lower parts of her cheeks)*

Mim: Boo!

*(Link, Jack, and even Starscream gave startled gasps at such a sight)*

Mim: (Releasing her hair, with her face still pigfaced) You see? I win, I win! Aren't I hideous, boys? Perfectly revolting!

Link: (Flatly) Well, yes, ma'am.

Jack: (Nonchalantly agreeing) You got me convinced.

Starscream: (Dryly agreeing, giving a flat dry look while crossing his arms) Indeed.

Mim: But you ain't seen nothin' yet. Watch this.

*(Then she resumed singing as she magically transformed herself into a beautiful woman form, much to even Knockout’s uncomfortable reaction, for he’s seen better beautiful females compared to Mim’s alternate beautiful form)*

Mim: **I can be beautiful, lovely and fair**

**Silvery voice, long purple hair**

*(Then Mim did a bit of a sultry dance while la-laing a bit, much to everyone's calm awkward reaction)*

Mim: **But it's only skin deep for zim zaberim zim**

*(Then Mim magically changed her herself, as well as her face, back to her normal form)*

Mim: **I'm an ugly old creep**

**The magnificent**

**Marvelous, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Madam Mim**

*(As soon as the song ended, Merlin grew impatient and then butted in in annoyance, wanting to get the trade for the Black Cauldron over with)*

Merlin: (Angrily in annoyance) All right, we get it!

*(Then they began to ponder on what to trade)*

Optimus: (Ponders a bit) Hmm.... To trade something for the Black Cauldron.

*(Team Hylia thought it over and after nodding to each other, they spoke up)*

Team Hylia: We have something to trade.

Knockout: (Pulling out one of his old still functioning buzzsaws) How about one of my buzzsaws?

Brick: (Pulling out an old video game) Not to mention me and my brothers' old video game?

Boomer: (Pulling out his bubblegum stick) Some bubblegum?

Butch: (Pulls out his small punching bag) And our punching bag?

Knockout and the Rowdyruff Boys: For the Black Cauldron?

Kanker Sisters: (Aghast) What?!

Mim: You want to give *us* your own prized possessions in exchange for the Black Cauldron?

Brick: Well, yeah.

Knockout: What do you think?

*(A short pause, then Mim and the Kanker Sisters snickered a bit)*

Mim: (Snickering a bit) You want to give *us* your own prized possessions in exchange for the Black Cauldron? Among them a buzzsaw?!

*(She and the Kanker Sisters burst out laughing a bit. Then they stopped laughing and compose themselves)*

Mim: Well, I'm afraid we can't take those.

Marie: (Shows off more of their own old buzzsaw, video game, bubblegum, and punching bag collections) We have plenty of those, thank you very much!

*(Knockout and the Rowdyruff Boys got calmly speechless and then gave flat nonchalant looks as they put their possessions away)*

Knockout and Rowdyruff Boys: (Flatly and nonchalant) Scrap.

Starscream: (While he and Optimus present Starscream and Knockout's old damaged T-Cogs, since Starscream and Knockout already have their news ones) How about mine and Knockout's old damaged T-Cogs?

Optimus: To add to your collection?

Lee: (Scoffs) Get real!

May: What good are damaged T-Cogs among our collection of our good discarded ones?

*(Then they took the old damaged T-Cogs, threw them on the floor, and blasted them to rusted dust with their magic blasts. Then Optimus, Starscream, and Knockout gave flat looks that read "Oh, well, we tried that.")*

Optimus: (Looking at the rusty dusty remains of the old damaged T-Cogs with Starscream and Knockout before said remains magically vanished by Mim) Hm. Fair point.

Starscream: (Shrugs) Don't ask, don't tell.

Knockout: (Shrugs in agreement) I'll say.

Zelda's group: (Presenting their own bracelets) Our bracelets?

Lee: Have a collection of those already.

Team Hylia members: (Presenting some of their possessions) How about these? (What do you think?)

Mim and Kanker Sisters: Nope.

*(Team Hylia's group groaned a bit in annoyance)*

Liquidator: Boy, this trading business is difficult to please them.

Johnny: Yet most of us are twice as shrewd as them.

Skyquake: There must be something we can trade.

*(Wonderbot squeaked a bit in agreement)*

Snake: (Pulling out the half eaten apple Link gave him earlier) Howssss about my apple?

Megavolt: (Agreeing) As a token?

Marie: Ew, you got to do better than that!

Lee: We ain't taking half eaten food!

May: Who would want that?!

Moonracer: (To Snake, nonchalantly aghast) Really, Snake? The apple Link gave you?

Mim: And besides, we don't know where it's been!

Snake: (Missing the point Mim made) It camesss from me.

*(Ace looked at him like he's an idiot, and then socked him)*

Ace: That's not what they meant when they said that.

Snake: (Rubbing his punched cheek while putting his half eaten apple away in his pocket) Sssssorry, Acccce.

Jeremy: Well, don't give up yet, guys.

Jim: We're-a certain you can impress us with anything else that....

*(Suddenly, Mim, the Kanker Sisters, and crows noticed Link's childhood slingshot, cutting Jim off)*

Mim: Hold it!

May: Is that a slingshot?!

*(May snatches away Link's slingshot, much to Team Hylia's aghast surprise, and after the Kanker Sisters started arguing and fighting over who will inspect the slingshot, Mim, getting annoyed, snatched it away to inspect it with them together)*

Mim: (Annoyed) Oh, give me that, girls!

*(Then they inspected the slingshot in interest)*

Jeremy: Wow, nice craftsmanship….

Jim: That be an actual slingshot all right….

May: I always wanted a slingshot!

Marie: It’s cute!

Lee: And it’s a rare one as well!

*(Team Hylia got calmly happy in a hopeful way)*

Knockout: So, does that mean...?

Mim and Kanker Sisters: We'll take it!

Lee: If you want to trade it for the Black Cauldron.

*(After contemplating, despite Link feeling a bit hesitant, Team Hylia gave in)*

Caramel: We’ll do it.

Dreadwing: (To Link, with a nod) Link?

Link: (To Dreadwing, reluctantly giving in) Right. *(To Mim and the Kanker Sisters)* As much as it pains me to say it, but….

*(He kneels down and after Mim hands him back his slingshot, Link holds it up to make the trade)*

Link: Here it is. We trade this slingshot for the Black Cauldron.

*(Mim and the Kanker Sisters levitates the slingshot out of Link’s hands)*

Mim and Kanker Sisters: Deal! Done!

*(Then they, the crows, and the slingshot vanished and then as Mim and the Kanker Sisters’ cackling is heard briefly, the cottage shook)*

Fluttershy: Oh, dear....

Eddy: Run!

Comet Tail: It’s gonna collapse!

Link: Hurry!

Optimus: Fall back, quickly!

*(They run out as the cottage tore apart magically)*

Magnus: Duck!

*(The wooden beams then flew around into the air and then vanished, making Team Hylia, Merlin, Archimedes, and Grumpy duck down. Then the cottage and the rest of its beams vanished in an implosion. As Team Hylia, Merlin, Archimedes, and Grumpy recovered and got up, they panted softly a bit)*

Cream: That was scary.

Archimedes: I'll say.

Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist: I wasn't the only one worried.

*(Then, an earthquake hits)*

Ed: Earthquake!

*(Suddenly, Starscream and the Mane Eight noticed something else making the earthquake)*

Mane Eight: No, look!

Starscream: Up there!

*(They look and saw emerging from the ground where the cottage stood a certain black evil-looking artifact as the earthquake ended. Team Hylia’s group recognized it)*

Team Hylia’s group: The Black Cauldron!

Sonic: Now we got it!

*(Then Team Hylia, including Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist, Starscream, Knockout, and even Breakdown, Dreadwing, and Skyquake, began to attack the evil artifact with all their might, hoping to destroy it, but no matter how hard they attacked, not a single dent or damage was made)*

San: Are you kidding us?!

Ratchet: What is it, damage-proof?!

Breakdown: (Inspecting it immediately upon Ratchet’s question) Apparently, it is.

Dreadwing: Courtesy of the dark magic within it and Unicron.

Ashitaka: Then why don't we just hide it somewhere in this swamp with us so we can destroy it?

*(Suddenly, Mim, the Kanker Sisters, and crows magically arrived)*

Mim, Kanker Sisters, and crows: Wait!

*(Merlin, Grumpy, Archimedes, and Team Hylia got confused and annoyed)*

Vector: Now what?

Lee: It’s impossible to hide and destroy the Black Cauldron from evil hands.

Mim: Let alone even this swamp.

Shadow: And your point is?

Lee: The point, being, is that the Black Cauldron *can* be destroyed.

Mim: The only way to destroy it is to break it with the power of the Triforces of Courage, Wisdom, and Good Power, and the legendary heroes’ weapons of Primus combined.

*(Realizing, Team Hylia, Merlin, Grumpy, and Archimedes turned to Link, Zelda, and Aryll)*

Merlin, Grumpy, Archimedes, and Team Hylia except Link, Zelda, and Aryll: You know the drill.

Link, Zelda, and Aryll: (Nods) Right!

*(Just before they took action, Mim and the Kanker Sisters spoke up)*

Lee: But it won’t work in this swamp, however.

Mim: That’s right.

Marie: It can be destroyed anywhere else except here.

Lee: All because this swamp itself feeds off of dark magic that'll prevent anything dark magic-related from being destroyed easily.

May: So, you better get it out of here and bring it somewhere so that nobody evil can get it, and be destroyed easily.

*(Team Hylia's group thought it over and nods)*

Link: Then I say we’ll take it to the Fairy Realm and destroy it there.

Optimus: (Agreeing) Excellent idea, Link.

Silver: I’ll even use my powers to carry it there.

Elita: Since it is, after all, heavy for even the strongest robot and flesh creature.

Amy: (Looks at Mim, the Kanker Sisters, and crows with Team Hylia’s group) And you seem to like the idea of it being destroyed.

Team Prime: Why?

Firestar: Out of curiosity.

*(Mim and the Kanker Sisters turned to the crows, who explained away)*

Jim: (To Team Hylia’s group) The reason being that our miladies want it destroyed and away from us, is because it brought nothing but bad luck to good people like us since it was hidden away here many years ago. *(To the crows)* Catch on?

Crows except Jim: (Agreeing) That’s right.

Preacher: And we’ll be extremely grateful to you that you destroy it.

*(Understanding now, Team Hylia’s group suddenly got confused)*

Espio: (To Mim and the Kanker Sisters) But how did you find out that the Black Cauldron *can* be destroyed?

Merlin: Even my magic couldn’t help me figure it out due to my not possessing any dark magic whatsoever.

Mim: Because we’re witches.

Lee: We sensed it with our magic.

Marie: Since *we* have dark magic, luckily.

Team Hylia's group: (Shrugs) Well, all right.

*(Then just when they took a step towards the Black Cauldron to take it, Mim intervened by shouting out to them, startling the non-serious members)*

Mim: HOLD IT!! Did my group and I make it perfectly clear that Merlin and I must finish the trade completely by a magic duel?

*(Team Hylia's group realized and got annoyed that they groaned a bit in annoyance)*

Big: Aw....

Merlin: (To Team Hylia's group, under his breath in annoyance) I was hoping she'd forgotten that. *(To Mim, loudly and very determined)* Fine, very well, then! Let the magic duel begin.

Mim: Yep!

Aryll: But before the duel begins, what about your house?

Lee: Don’t worry. Our house is fine.

Marie: We’ll rebuild it.

May: With magic.

Mim: (To Merlin, changing the subject snobbily) Well, shall we begin our duel?

Merlin: (To Mim, glaring at her and not liking her snobby attitude) Oh, yes. Very well.

*(Then Merlin and Mim went out to a nearby clear section of the field as everyone watched)*

Mushu: So, uh, what is this magic duel about, anyway?

*(Cri-Kee gives a brief chirp of confusion)*

Archimedes: Oh, it's a battle of wits.

Magnus: With the players changing themselves to different things and attempt to, well....

Raksha: To destroy one another.

*(The rest of Team Hylia’s group became shocked on what they were just told)*

Zelda: Destroy?!

Mushu: (Shocked along with Cri-Kee) They what?!

Pinkie Pie: So, this is basically a magic duel to the death?!

Fender: (Overreacting) And if Merlin dies losing, we don't get the Black Cauldron?!

Rodney, Cappy, and Wes' group: (Trying to calm Fender as they said this line) Fender...!

Optimus: (Calming everyone reassuringly) Just watch, Pinkie, Fender, everyone.

Cait Sith: Aye, just watch.

Bulkhead: You'll get the idea.

Scrooge: And most of you bairns will learn how this works.

Optimus: And all we can do is pray and hope Merlin will come out victorious.

Wheeljack: With the fate of the world in the balance.

Reno: Hopefully.

Launchpad: Hopefully is right.

Ace: What do you mean, "Hopefully?"

Mim: (Cutting everyone off, tangling her head in Merlin’s beard, much to his annoyance) Now, first of all, *(Frees herself magically from Merlin’s beard)* if you don't mind, I'll make the rules.

Archimedes: (Disgusted) Rules indeed!

Grumpy: (Angrily scoffs in agreement) Why, she only wants rules so she can break them!

Mim: (To Grumpy, giving the dagger glare) I'll take care of you and the featherbrain later, Mr. Grumpy-Gilled Dwarf Fairy.

*(Grumpy just scoffs angrily again while Archimedes ruffled his feathers a bit at such an insult to him and Grumpy as they, Team Hylia's group, the Kanker Sisters, and crows seated nearby to watch)*

Mim: (Happy again, changing the subject) Rule one, no mineral or vegetable. Only animal. Rule two, no make-believe things like, oh, pink dragons and stuff. Now, rule three, no disappearing.

Merlin: (Scoffs) Rule four, no cheating.

Calves: (To Team Hylia's group, whispering and realizing in shock) Wait, you mean Mim is a...?

Chromia: (Whispering) Yep.

Fowler: (Whispering) A cheater.

Mim: All right, all right. Now, pace off ten. One, two, three, four.

*(She and Merlin turn in opposite directions. Then they march off, with Mim only marching in place, that she immediately vanished into thin air. Team Hylia, Grumpy, and Archimedes saw that and became surprised while the crows quietly groaned a bit and palming their own faces in annoyance over Mim purposely cheating and the Kanker Sisters just sat beside them, giving a silent look that reads “Awkward”)*

Link: (Surprised) Merlin!

Aryll: (Surprised) She disappeared!

Straw Hat: (Mumbling a bit in annoyance) So, what else is new?

*(Even Merlin stopped marching in confusion, then turned around in frustration)*

Merlin: (Confused) Huh? *(Frustrated)* Mim, Mim, now, you made the rules!

*(Unbeknownst to him, Mim reappeared, now a female crocodile with dark pink scales, a long tail, a long, pointed snout, a pink underbelly, dark pink nail claws, dark pink scaly spikes on her back, and sharp white fangs, still with her short gray hair and green eyes. Immediately, Merlin magically hides himself in his hat, as if he magically shrunk down, making Mim cackle a bit before chomping at Merlin’s hat, only to hurt her jaws upon that chomp suddenly)*

Mim: (Rubbing her hurt jaws for a bit) Ouch!

*(Merlin then falls out of his hat as a turtle. Mim immediately licks her lips hungrily for a bit and goes after Merlin, much to Team Hylia’s group’s shock and concern)*

Miko: Come on, Merlin!

Applejack: Change to somethin’ else.

Merlin: (Frantically while in a hurry to run due to being slow as a turtle) Well, yes, yes. Give me time to think.

*(Mim keeps chasing after him as Merlin tries to say his incantation spell quickly)*

Merlin: Uh, Higgety-Piggety…!

Megavolt: Quick, Merlin, hurry!

Merlin: Hoppity, Hip-Hip!

*(He transforms into a rabbit, and Mim immediately snaps his cotton-made rabbit tail off)*

Merlin: (Shocked at first) Got me tail, now! *(Immediately annoyed)* Madame, just a minute.

Smokescreen: (Palming his face in concern and annoyance) Oh, this is not…!

*(Mim immediately changes into a fox and chases after Merlin)*

Starscream: Come on!

Alexis: Something bigger!

Archimedes: No, it's better if you turn into something smaller!

Mikey: Like he said; Something smaller!

Merlin: (While frantically trying to get away from Mim) Mim, Mim, Mim!

*(Then Merlin jumped into a nearby hollow tree stump and vanished in there before Mim crashed into the stump and then recovering quickly with some smug chuckles)*

Mim: Merlin, no disappearing.

*(Unknown to her, Merlin emerged, having transformed into a caterpillar)*

Merlin: (Panting a bit at first, then sighs in relief) Whew!

*(But unfortunately, Mim peeks at him with her eye)*

Mim: Ah-ha!

*(Merlin immediately crawled away in desperation before Mim appeared in front of him, having transformed into a chicken. After she grabbed him, Mim throws Merlin into the air, ready to eat him, but Merlin was able to quickly transform into a walrus and landed on Mim)*

Merlin: Mim? Mim?

*(Mim immediately emerged from underneath Merlin, magically transforming into an elephant)*

Merlin: Now, what? What's going on here?!

Mim: (Now completely livid) Why, you big blimp!

*(Merlin immediately transforms into a mouse, making Mim scream a bit in a panic and run away. Merlin keeps scaring her until Mim, upon disappearing behind a huge log, emerged from behind again, having transformed into a tiger, She immediately roared a bit, making Merlin scream a bit and run)*

Mim: (Laughs wickedly a bit) Squash me, will ya?

*(Merlin quickly jumped into a nearby empty hole just when Mim pounced at him on the hole. Merlin immediately pops out of the hole and was about to bite Mim until.…)*

Mim: Uh-uh-uh-uh, Merlin.

*(Mim quickly transformed into a rattlesnake. However, Merlin grabs Mim’s rattle tail and stuck it out to her, causing her to accidentally bite it instead as he quickly released it)*

Mim: (Reacts in pain at first) Ouch! *(Then angrily)* Ooh.

Mane Eight except Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist: Bravo, Merlin!

Archimedes: Job well done!

*(Merlin immediately makes a run from Mim)*

Mim: (Angrily) Oh, just you wait! You're gonna pay!

*(Merlin quickly pushes a nearby rock he found on Mim, making it hit her squarely on her head. Mim immediately groaned a bit in anger and recovery. Panicking upon seeing Mim that angry upon her screaming a bit in fury, Merlin runs again and transforms into a crab. Merlin then attempted to use his pincers to pinch her, but Mim proceeded to make fun of him by dodging swiftly in another empty hole like a whack-a-mole until Merlin seemingly finally caught her, only to realize that he instead caught a huge spike-like horn, revealing that Mim has transformed into a rhinoceros upon emerging)*

Mim: So you want to play rough, do ya?

*(Merlin gasps in shock and surprise)*

Mim: All right, Merlin! I'll smash you good, you ol' crab!

*(Mim immediately charges like mad towards a nearby tree, intending to strike Merlin down on it by her horn)*

Merlin: (Gasps) Jehoshaphat!

*(Merlin immediately jumped away, causing Mim to strike her horn into the tree instead, making her stuck)*

Merlin: Here I come, Mim, ready or not!

*(Immediately, Merlin transforms into an ibex and gives out a brief intimidating bleat)*

Mim: (Struggling to free herself) Merlin, you wouldn't dare!

*(Merlin charges at Mim at fast pace and headbutts her right into her rear, causing her to not only break free from the tree by that powerful impact, but also fall into a nearby lake. Merlin looks down proudly until he sees Mim emerge, having transformed into a dragon. Mim immediately gives a sinister smile at Merlin, who is now shocked and appalled as Team Hylia’s group and even the Kanker Sisters and crows are)*

Merlin: Now, now, Mim! No dragons, remember?

Mim: (Smugly) Did I say no purple dragons? Did I?

*(Merlin quickly runs away, changing back into a mouse and jumping into the empty hole again. Mim quickly breaths fire into the hole, causing Merlin to pop out into the air, screaming a bit in pain by his almost burnt rear. Mim quickly catches Merlin in her hands, cupping him in them as if she crushed him like a bug)*

Mim: (Cackling a bit) I win! I win!

Aryll: (Shocked with Team Hylia’s group) Oh, my gosh! Merlin!

Ray: (Shocked and mortified) She squashed him like a bug like me!

Kayla Cooper: (Groans a bit in anger while Team Hylia’s group got angry) Oh, we're never gonna get the Black Cauldron!

Dazzlings: That horrible old witch!

Trixie: I pull better magic tricks than you!

Charmy: (About to join the fight, putting his dukes up) I oughtta use my stinger to peck her eyes out!

Shadow: (Stopping Charmy) No, Charmy!

*(Mim opens up her cupped hands to see if she had crushed Merlin, only to find that Merlin had already vanished suddenly, much to everyone’s, including Mim’s, confusion)*

Bumblebee: He's gone!

Archimedes: Disappeared.

Mim: (Annoyed and confused) Merlin, I said no disa…!

Merlin: (Voice-over, interrupting her and getting her and everyone else’s attention as they listened) Madame, I have not disappeared. I am very tiny. I'm a germ. A rare disease. I'm called Malagolintomontorosis, and you caught me, Mim!

Mim: (Shocked on what she just heard Merlin say) What?!

Merlin: (Voice-over) First, you break out into spots.

*(Noticing something off at first as some small red polka dotted spots appeared all over Mim's body, Team Hylia's group and even the Kanker Sisters and crows immediately realized with a hint of smugness, impressed by Merlin's cleverness, for it turned out this Malagolintomontorosis Germ that Merlin has claimed to magically become within Mim's body is fake and that Merlin is, in fact, cleverly using his magic to make Mim appear genuinely sick by it)*

Starscream: (Whispering through gritted teeth) Is there such a thing as this, well, germ Merlin changed into just now?

Grumpy: (Whispering) Nah, he's making it up, and using some magic to make it real.

Knockout: (Whispering, becoming impressed and winking at Team Hylia's group, the Kanker Sisters, and crows) Well, let's hope he's not contagious.

*(Even the Kanker Sisters and crows snickered a bit in agreement with Knockout's joke)*

Snake: (Whispering while hiss giggling a bit with Yuffie's group even) Goodssss one, Knockout.

May: (Calling out to Merlin, playing along) And what's the next symptom to this germ?

Merlin: (Voice-over) After the spots, it's followed by hot and cold flashes.

*(Mim’s bodily coloration immediately changes between blue and pale green until it finally stops at blue, like she is really sick)*

Merlin: (Voice-over) And then, some violent sneezes.

*(Immediately, Mim felt a big powerful sneeze coming up, and then she lets out a powerful sneeze, blowing out some brief powerful flames, making everyone else duck away and dodge the flames in the nick of time)*

Archimedes: (While ducking and dodging with everyone else) Watch it, everyone!

Marie: (Nods, becoming impressed by Merlin's cleverness) Oh, yeah.

Mim: (Throwing a huge fit) Ohhhhhhh, you sneaky old scoundrel!

*(Finally, she groaned a bit, seemingly feeling sick as her bodily coloration quickly changed to pale green. Later, after the Kanker Sisters magically rebuilt their house with their magic, they and the crows had already helped Team Hylia’s group, including Merlin, back in his normal human form, put Mim, also back in her normal human form, but still seemingly feeling sick with the spots on her skin only, in her bed, and she is now holding a thermometer in her mouth and she is also livid by the fact that Merlin beat her in their magic duel. Merlin then removed the thermometer from her mouth with a smug smile along with Team Hylia’s group and even the Kanker Sisters and crows)*

Merlin: (Magically discards the thermometer after looking at Mim’s body temperature reading) Oh, it's not too serious, Madame. But, uh, you should recover in *(He secretly winks at everyone else, who calmly snickered a bit in agreement)* a few weeks and be as good…. *(Immediately corrects himself)* Oh, I mean, as *bad* as ever. But, until then, *(He then accepted a stick from Marie and pokes it into a nearby corner of the ceiling near Mim in her bed, creating a small hole in the ceiling, which ends up exposing bright sunlight into her face, much to her anger and annoyance)* I would suggest plenty of rest, and lots and *lots* of sunshine!

Mim: (Angrily placing her pillow over her face, throwing another huge fit) I hate horrible, wholesome sunshine! I hate it! I hate it! I HATE IT!!!!

*(Rolling their eyes in annoyance at this, despite smiling smugly for a bit, Team Hylia’s group, the Kanker Sisters, and crows left Mim alone in her room and, in calm happiness by now, exited the house, with the Black Cauldron sitting outside nearby, for Team Hylia’s group is now granted the okay to take the Black Cauldron after already trading Link’s slingshot for it since Merlin cleverly won the magic duel, fair and square)*

Link: You were really great, Merlin.

Gosalyn: Very keen gear!

Optimus: (Nods proudly) Congratulations.

Louis: Even you had me worried at first besides everyone else.

Wes: (About to lie casually) Well, palsies, I wasn't worried one wee little....

*(Suddenly, his harp vibrated, about to snap a string, which it does then, much to his usual flat annoyance)*

Wes: (Flatly in annoyance) Bit. *(Nonchalantly being honest, as his harp’s string magically repaired itself by that honesty)* Okay, I was worried at first.

Merlin: But regardless, it was worth it, everyone.

Grumpy: If you learned something from it.

Bubbles: Knowledge and wisdom is the real power.

Blossom: And with cleverness from that, you shall overcome difficulty.

Buttercup: And kick any tricky butts with said cleverness.

Merlin: Right you are, Powerpuff Girls.

Powerpuff Girls: (Proudly) Yep!

Rowdyruff Boys: (Also proud of the Powerpuff Girls) And we know our girls' intelligence already.

Ray: Do not ever forget-about-it, *Chers* and Caps.

Lee: And besides, you really impressed us.

Marie: And for that....

May: You may take the Black Cauldron with you, as we agreed on.

Cloud: (Nods in agreement) Just like we agreed on.

Squall: That's correct.

Starscream: (In playful sarcasm, giving a smug sympathizing look at first, and then a smug smirk on the last part of this line, turning it into a toothy smug smirk and giving a smug wink after he finished this line) And, oh, don't worry, Kankers. I'm pretty sure Mad Madame Mim will get well soon.

Knockout: (In playful sarcasm in agreement, also giving a smug smirk and smug wink) Let's hope she gets better pretty soon.

Ratchet: (Playfully smug in agreement, giving a smug "Nudge-nudge, wink-wink" look) Indeed, everyone.

Lee: (Shrugs nonchalantly and casually in a happy way) Ah, she'll eventually learn you tricked her.

Marie: (Nonchalantly and casually agreeing in a happy way) Yeah, especially learning that she's not really sick.

Jim: But other than that, good luck taking the Black Cauldron away from here!

May: Yeah, and good luck taking it to the Fairy Realm!

Lee: So you can destroy it!

Marie: And remember, you need a lot of magic from you in order to do it, Chosen Ones!

*(The Kanker Sisters cackled a bit as Team Hylia, Merlin, Archimedes, and Grumpy left with Silver levitating the Black Cauldron in the air with his powers)*

Team Hylia's group: Right. Bye, (Goodbye,) and thanks! (thank you!)

Kanker Sisters and crows: Bye!

*(Then with that, Team Hylia, Merlin, Archimedes, and Grumpy left with the Black Cauldron in tow to bring it to the Fairy Realm so they can destroy it there)*

***Coming up: Team Hylia, Merlin, Archimedes, and Grumpy reassure Link that he did the right thing trading his childhood slingshot for the Black Cauldron and then explained that everything impossible they did, including helping San, Kayla Cooper, the wolf gods, Wolfbots, Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist, Starscream, and Knockout getting to know each other more, was because of their friendship and teamwork. Unfortunately, Myotismon’s group's army, Megatron, and the Decepticons finally find them and everyone, except Merlin, Archimedes, Grumpy, Cloud's group, the Autobots, consisting Optimus, Arcee, Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Ratchet, Wheeljack, Chromia, Smokescreen, Magnus, Elita, and Firestar only, Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist, Party Favor, the Gangreen Gang, Dazzlings, wolf gods, Wolfbots, Spike the Flytrap, Louis, Ray, Mushu, Cri-Kee, Squall, Rinoa, Epona, and Yakul, ends up getting captured by them. Then as the prisoners and Black Cauldron are being transported to Myotismon's group's castle, Ray, while hidden and spying on them for the non-captured heroes, will then secretly witness the captive heroes praying for "Peace coming someday, even if the end approaches,” resulting the non-captured heroes, mostly Ray, to give them the answered prayer and rescue they and themselves deserve by getting help from the other heroes back at Hyrule Castle.***
