### Dreamcoast

When the Beast and Belle solved the riddle that Tank gave the gang, they discovered that Annabelle and Cinderella were located under the fountain of her old home at the chateau. The gang enter the secret room and spot the princesses. As they are about to be taken back to the abandoned village, Scales trapped the princesses in his slime-like web, dropped from the ceiling and roared at Mark and the gang. Mark ordered Flynn and the Beast free the princesses, while he and the others battle Scales. Scales eventually discovered that Flynn and the Beast tried to free the princesses and made way to eat them.

Tinker Bell alerts Mark about Scales getting ready to eat his friends and very quickly, Mark and his fairy friend jump in front of the gang and are devoured by Scales. Luckily, Mark and Tinker Bell were still alive and inside Scales, they discover that Scales is a robot and his powercore in the center of his chest. Tink sprinkles flying dust on the powercore and Mark uses all of his strength to pull the powercore. As Scales was about to devour the Beast and the gang, his powercore comes out of his back and once it lands on the ground, Scales' power is drained until he drops to the ground, dead.
