Getting the Couples Together/Vanitas’ Group's Threat

*(In their room in the palace, Sally, Cosmo, and Amy are crying with Sally burying her face in a pillow. Then Meowth's group and Meowzie spoke up)*

Meowth's group: Okay, this is ridiculous, Princesses.

Meowzie: You shouldn't waste tears on those boys.

Sally, Cosmo, and Amy: (Angrily) Go away!

Sally: (Angrily) We want to be alone!

*(Cosmo comes over and was about to shut the curtain when Meowzie interjected through speech)*

Meowzie: Listen!

*(Meowth then explained away)*

Meowth: You shouldn't blame Sonic's group just because they hid us.

James: In fact, they planned of telling you and the residents here.

*(Sally's group looked surprised upon hearing that, and lets them in)*

Sally: They really were planning on telling us?

Jessie: Bingo! The boys loved you enough to tell you eventually.

Amy: (Angrily) Well, they didn't have to lie to us.

*(Then she softened up along with Sally's group)*

Amy: But then again.... They saved us before.

Bushroot: (Shrugs) Well, what can I say, Sally, Cosmo, Amy?

Meowzie: You know what Meowth can say?

*(As Sally's group listened, Meowth then begins singing)*

Meowth: **Forget about those guys**

**Forget about the way you fell into their eyes**

**Forget about their charms**

*(Liquidator smiles playfully as he shows Sonic's group's picture that he just found. Sally's group began to slowly soften up to the picture)*

Liquidator: **Forget about the way they held you in their arms**

**Walking on air's obnoxious**

**The thrills**

**The chills**

**Will make you nauseous**

Bushroot: **And you'll never get enough**

**Just forget about love**

*(Sally's group walked away to the vanity, lost in thought. Seeing the heroes, Sally's group were about to speak in confusion when Meowzie and Quackerjack sang)*

Meowzie: **Forget about romance**

Quackerjack: **Forget about the way your heart begins to dance**

*(He knocked a vase with the crystal flower begins to fall but Sally caught it in the nick of time. Then they see Vector conjure up images of Sonic's group in the mirror)*

Sonic's group's images: (Sadly) Sally, Cosmo, Amy.

*(Seeing their sad reactions as the images vanish, Sally's group got concerned)*

Jessie: **Then you feel the blush**

*(Bushroot grabs the crystal flower and ran out onto the balcony and climbed down a tree, making Sally's group and the heroes run out after him. When they arrived, Sally's group saw the sad Sonic's group by the lake)*

Jessie: **When he's spouting out some sentimental mush**

Jessie, James, Meowth, and Meowzie: **Love really is revolting**

Heroes except Jessie, James, Meowth, and Meowzie: **It's even worse than when you're molting**

Heroes: (Winking) **Enough of this fluff**

**Just forget about love**

*(Sally's group, now realizing why they're doing this, smiled lovingly at Sonic's group. Then they joined in the song)*

Sally: **We had almost forgotten the way it felt**

Cosmo: **When they held out their hands for ours**

Amy: **Our hearts all a-flutter**

Steelbeak: **Oh, how I shudder**

Sally's group: **The first time we kissed**

Darkwing: **It won't be missed**

Cloud: **Forget about their touch**

Sally's group: **We can't forget about their touch**

Megavolt: **In the scheme of things**

**It doesn't matter much**

Sally's group: **It matters so much**

*(As the heroes followed, Sally's group ran downstairs)*

Chip: **But you're better on your own**

Aerith: **A meal becomes a banquet**

**When you eat alone**

*(As they arrived downstairs, Sally's group freshened themselves up while humming a bit. Then they resumed racing down)*

Heroes and Sally's group: **Love's filled with compromises**

Vector: **And don't you hate those big surprises?**

*(Outside, Sally's group smiled as they let Marahute fly them in the air)*

Sally's group: **A cozy rendezvous**

Heroes: **Oh, please**

*(Vector used his magic to send out two small balls of light. They formed around a smiling Sally's group)*

Sally's group: **Candlelight for two**

Meowth: **You're bluffing**

Sally's group: **Look you're calling my bluff**

Heroes and Sheeta's group: **We can't**

**(Just)**

**Forget about love**

*(Soon the two balls of lights departed Sally's group and formed around Sonic's group, who seeing them, looked up and sees Sally's group coming to him with smiles)*

Sonic: Sally?

Tails: Cosmo?

Knuckles: Amy?

Sonic's group: (Sighs) Look, please forgive us....

*(Sally's group shushed their lovers gently)*

Sally's group: It's okay.

*(Sally's group then showed their friends and Sonic's group, realizing what's going on, smiled softly and then they and Sally's group sang together)*

Sally's group: **We can't forget about our heart**

Sonic's group: **We can't forget about our heart**

Sally's group: **And how it felt**

**To fall for you right from the start**

Sonic's group: **We're still falling**

Sally's group: **Whatever we may do**

*(Sally's group laughed as Amy splashed Knuckles with water. Sonic's group chuckled as they playfully chased their girls, having a romantic game of hide-n'-seek)*

Sonic's group: **Whatever we may do**

Sally's group: **You are here for us**

**And we'll be there for you**

*(Finally Sonic's group playfully caught Sally's group. They smiled as Sonic's group lifted their respective lover in the air. As they continued singing, they begin dancing)*

Sonic's group: **We'll be there**

Sonic and Sally's groups: **To wish, to want, to wander**

**To find the sun**

**Through rain and thunder**

*(Nearby, the heroes smiled softly, watching this, glad to see their plan to get them back together came out a success)*

Sonic's group: **A cozy rendezvous**

Sally group: **Yes, please**

Sonic's group: **Candlelight for two**

Meowth: (Winking at them) **Oh, geez**

**Enough is enough**

Sonic and Sally's groups: (Winking back) **We can't forget about love**

*(The song over, they walked up to the heroes with smiles)*

Sonic and Sally's group: Thank you.

Heroes: No problem.

*(Then just when they were gonna leave Sonic and Sally's groups alone, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack tripped on a step by the fountain and while Meowth fell down, scraping his left elbow, Megavolt and Quackerjack dropped Megavolt's locket and Quackerjack's Mr. Banana Brain doll in the fountain, much to the heroes' concern)*

Heroes: (Overlapping in concern) Are you alright?

*(Meowth groans in pain, not seeing his scraped elbow yet)*

Meowth: That hurt!

*(Then seeing his scraped elbow, he reacted in shock calmly and then became calmly sad. Megavolt and Quackerjack noticed their locket and Mr. Banana Brain doll in the fountain's water)*

Megavolt: My locket!

Quackerjack: Mr. Banana Brain!

*(They pulled them out and then even Megavolt and Quackerjack slowly became calmly sad upon noticing Megavolt's picture ruined in his locket from the water and Quackerjack's Mr. Banana Brain doll all soaked and ruined. Noticing, the heroes got confused and concerned)*

Aerith: What's wrong, Meowth's group?

Cloud: It's just a scrape on the elbow.

Steelbeak: Just have Meowzie and Vector....

*(Then they see Meowth's group slump down slowly to their knees sadly)*

Meowth: I had a cut like that before. And they made it better in time.

Megavolt: And I had this locket to remember them by.

Quackerjack: Same with my Mr. Banana Brain doll for them.

*(The heroes got confused)*

Vanilla: Who are "They" and "Them?"

*(A short pause, then Meowth's group explained)*

Meowth's group: Our families.

*(The heroes calmly reacted in interest)*

Meowzie: A memory?

Meowth: (Nods sadly) Yeah.

*(He and his group looked at Meowzie)*

Meowth: You thought being abandoned as a kitten was bad enough? Well, our families died when we were little.

*(The heroes got shocked calmly)*

Minerva: What happened to them?

*(Meowth's group sighed sadly and explained away)*

Meowth's group: Mysteriously murdered.

Knuckles: You had no idea who killed them?

*(Meowth's group sadly shook their heads no)*

Bushroot: Afraid not.

*(Then they explained away sadly)*

Meowth: Vanitas' group, except Steelbeak who didn't join yet, came by our home in another town, claiming they need recruits.

Bushroot: Our families and us had a bad feeling they were no good, so, we told them to leave us and politely declined the offer.

Liquidator: At first, we thought they took the decline well.

Megavolt: But.... *(Closes his eyes tightly and briefly, holding back a quiet sob)* We were wrong. We went out to go get some fruit, and when we returned with some.... *(Sniffled as he became teary-eyed)* They were already killed by mysterious assailants.

Jessie: Eventually, we became broke and began wandering the streets, trying to earn money.

James: Then Vanitas' group, now with Steelbeak, came along and again offered us a job with them, claiming that we could live the rich life again if we stayed here.

Quackerjack: (Tearing up) But up until recently, *(Sobs)* we never realized they wanted us to do bad stuff for them.

*(They sheds their own tears, on the verge of crying)*

Meowth's group: (Starting to cry) Even to the extent of abusing us, physically, verbally, and psychologically.

*(They calmly break down crying and buried their faces in their legs and arms in a upward fetal position, despite Meowth still having his elbow scraped. Feeling sorry for Meowth's group, the heroes were speechless and sympathetic, unsure what to say at first. Then Meowzie and Sally's group smiled softly, and began to gently pat Meowth's group's backs in comfort, getting their attention that they looked up with tears in their eyes and staining their cheeks)*

Sonic: Sorry if we called you troublemakers and traitors before.

Tails: Yeah. We had no idea of your backstory.

Cosmo: You're not alone anymore.

Sally: You have us.

Meowzie: And me.

*(She looked down with a sad smile)*

Meowzie: True I was abandoned when I was little, but I truly do know what it's like to be alone up until a year ago.

*(Then Meowzie and Sally's group started singing, comforting Meowth's while doing so)*

Meowzie: **It's hard to remember**

**Summer or winter**

**When she hasn't been there for me**

**A friend and companion**

**I can always depend on**

**My mother**

**That's who I mean**

Sally: **I've taken for granted**

Cosmo: **Seeds that she's planted**

**She's always behind everything**

Amy: **A teacher**

**A seeker**

**When both arms outreach her**

Sally's group: **My mother**

**That's who I mean**

Meowzie: **Wish I could slow down the hands of time**

**Keep things the way they are**

**If she said so**

**I would give her the world**

**If I could**

**I would**

Sally's group: **My love and my laughter**

**From here ever after**

**Is all that she says that she needs**

**A friend and companion**

**I can always depend on**

Sally's group and Meowzie: **My mother**

**That's who I mean**

**My mother**

**That's who I mean**

**That's who I mean**

*(The song over, the heroes noticed Meowth's group tear up even more calmly and then to their concern at first, they hugged Meowzie and Sally's group while crying their eyes out calmly. Then their concern turned to relief when Meowth's group slowly stopped crying and looked up, revealing that they're happy again, but with Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack smiling tearfully this time)*

Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: (Sniffles, slowly stopping his crying) Thanks, girls.

Meowth's group: (Feeling better) Yeah, thanks.

*(Sally then pulled out her three light blue handkerchiefs and gently wiped Meowth's tears away with the first one. Then she offered the other two to Megavolt and Quackerjack)*

Sally: Here.

*(Megavolt and Quackerjack accepted them, blew their noses on them, and wiped their tears away. Once that's finished, Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack felt better calmly)*

Sally: Better?

Meowth, Megavolt, and Quackerjack: (Nods) Yeah.

*(Megavolt and Quackerjack were gonna hand back the handkerchiefs, but Sally politely stopped them)*

Sally: No, you both keep them. It's okay. You need those more than me. And besides, I'll keep one.

*(Touched by the offer, Megavolt and Quackerjack accepted the handkerchiefs and puts them in their jumpsuit and pants pockets. Then Sally puts her first handkerchief away. Meanwhile near a wall, the guards are patrolling the palace. None of them saw three familiar thieves and familiar henchmen climbing over the other side, dodging their side. Dijon and the thieves landed but yelped as Negaduck, Merlock, and Splatter Phoenix landed on them from above)*

Dijon: (Whispering) Watch where you're landing, you guys!

Merlock: (Whispering in sarcasm) Sorry.

Splatter Phoenix: (Whispering) At least you broke our fall.

Thief 1: (Whispering) Yep.

Negaduck: (Whispering) Consider us lucky.

*(Merlock took out Vanitas and Don Karnage's black lamp and rubbed it, causing red smoke to come pouring out)*

Merlock: (Whispering) Vanitas, Don Karnage, we have arrived.

*(The red smoke got bigger as Vanitas and Don Karnage appeared in their normal forms)*

Don Karnage: (Whispering) We were wondering when we'd arrive finally.

*(Then noticing something in the garden, they go hide in some bushes and sees Meowth's group with the heroes nearby)*

Vanitas: (Whispering) What's going on between them and Meowth's group?

*(They listen in. With the heroes, they watched Meowzie prepare to heal Meowth's elbow while Vector just finished magically repairing Megavolt's picture in his locket and magically dried off Quackerjack's wet Mr. Banana Brain doll)*

Vector: So, basically, Meowzie has magic and healing powers?

Heroes: Yeah.

Chip: Meowth even almost screamed like a banshee after she healed him for the first time.

Meowth: (Shrugs) Well....

Quackerjack: (Gestures to Megavolt) Even Sparky here nearly wanted to scream.

Megavolt: (Angrily) Don't call me "Sparky!"

*(Meowzie quiets them with a paw-like hand gesture and then sang her incantation a little quickly)*

Meowzie: **Magic, gleam and glow**

**Let your power shine**

**Make the clock reverse**

**Bring back what once was mine**

**Heal what has been hurt**

**Change the Fates' design**

**Save what has been lost**

**Bring back what once was mine**

**What once was mine**

*(The healing spell over, Meowth's elbow is healed)*

Meowth: Thanks.

*(Then they see the heroes watching, and then Meowth and Meowzie spoke up)*

Meowth: Mind if we have some privacy?

Meowzie: Just the two of us?

*(The heroes nod and they back off. Once alone, Meowth and Meowzie then sat down together)*

Meowth: I'm really glad to have met you.

Meowzie: Same with me.

*(Meowth then tried to think of something to say)*

Meowth: Well, uh.... What you did for me and my group with Sally's group....

Meowzie: You're welcome. I'm sure you and your group's families would've been happy for you.

Meowth: If they were here. And for the record, you won't leave me, right?

Meowzie: Never.

*(Meowzie then starts singing)*

Meowzie: **I will always be with you**

**Makes no difference where**

**The road takes you to**

**Even if we’re apart**

**And we’re joined at the heart**

**Though our moment may be gone**

**You and I will still live on**

*(Feeling happy with Meowzie, Meowth got up as he started singing)*

Meowth: **I will always be with you**

**I’ll be by your side**

**Whatever you do**

**Other memories may fade**

**But the ones that we made**

**Are eternal as a star**

**Now I’m part of who you are**

Meowth and Meowzie: **And I’ll be there with you**

**In the sound of your laughter**

**I’ll be in the tears you cried**

Meowth: **‘Cause the way you and I**

**Have touched one another**

Meowth and Meowzie: **Doesn’t end with goodbye**

*(They then danced, ballroom-styled)*

Meowth: **I will always be with you**

Meowth and Meowzie: **Like a guardian angel**

**Constant and true**

Meowzie: **When you’re lost in the night**

Meowth: **Lost in the night**

Meowzie: **And you can’t see the light**

Meowth: **Can’t see the light**

Meowth and Meowzie: **My love will see you through**

Meowth: **I will always be there**

Meowzie: **You’ll have me there**

Meowth and Meowzie: **I will always be with you**

*(After the song ended, before they could kiss, bright lights appeared, interrupting the moment. Vector is seen with his family filming them)*

Vector: Okay, folks! Today's special is about a couple meeting and falling in love! You look great Meowzie! Look good for the camera, Meowth!

*(Meowth's group and even Chip appeared in front of the camera annoyed)*

Chip: Hey!

Quackerjack: Didn't you hear them say they want to be alone?!

*(Jessie then pushes Vector and his family away)*

Jessie: Show's over, Spielbergs!

Bushroot: The two want to be alone!

Megavolt: So break it up!

Vector's group: (Sheepishly) Okay, okay!

Vector: We were just joking around!

Cream: No shame in joking around.

Cheese: (Sheepishly) Chao, chao.

*(Then with that, Meowth and Meowzie are alone at last. Nearby in the bushes, the villains, having witnessed this, smirked evilly, as if having a plan)*

Vanitas: (Whispering) Well, well.

Don Karnage: (Whispering) It looks like Meowth has made friends with our enemies.

Negaduck: (Whispering) And found "True love" of his own.

Vanitas: (Whispering) That will fit well into our plan.

Dijon: (Whispering) What plan is that?

Vanitas: (Whispering) We'll wait until Meowzie's alone.

Negaduck: (Whispering) And when the time is right....

Splatter Phoenix: (Whispering) She will be in our clutches again.

Merlock: (Whispering) Oh, so basically....

Don Karnage: (Whispering) Yep. We're gonna make Meowth and his group cooperate with us with a little.... Persuasion.

Negaduck: (Whispering) So, just be patient.

*(They chuckled evilly quietly. Later, all alone, Meowzie just said good night to Meowth and then sat at the garden with a calm loving smile, looking at the starry sky. Then appearing behind her, the villains got her attention. She gasped when they shushed her and Don Karnage held his hand out to shake Meowzie's)*

Don Karnage: Greetings, Meowzie. I am the one, the only, Don Karnage!

*(Meowzie realized who Vanitas and Don Karnage are upon hearing Don Karnage introduce himself and glared)*

Meowzie: (Angrily) I already know who you are. And my new friends already told me about you. So bug off, creeps, before I get Sonic, his brothers, and friends.

*(Meowzie was about to leave when the villains rushed in front of her, making her stop in annoyance)*

Don Karnage: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Time out!

Splatter Phoenix: Sure, we got off on the wrong foot with me lying to you about your medallion, but....

Meowzie: (Shocked) How'd you know I found out?

Don Karnage: I told her from me sensing you from Splatter Phoenix's memories.

Meowzie: Nice try, but no cigar.

*(She tried to walk away again when the villains stopped them again by running in front of them in anger at first)*

Vanitas: (Furiously) Why you…!

Negaduck: (Furiously) Hear us out, you…!

*(They quickly calm themselves)*

Vanitas: Sorry about that.

Negaduck: Just hear us out.

Meowzie: I got nothing to hear about you, so leave me alone.

*(She started to walk away as the villains stood there and then smirked evilly)*

Vanitas: I guess you’re not gonna know what you’ll…. Open to, Meowzie.

*(Vanitas snapped his fingers and in a flash, to the shock of Meowzie, she vanished into thin air just before she screamed. The villains smiled evilly at each other, seeing their persuasion plan is unfolding at last. In a room somewhere in the palace, Meowth's group smiled as they sat on a giant pillow eating some fruit, and mostly, to Meowth's enjoyment, cooked fish)*

Meowth: Now this is better than having raw fish stuffed down my throat.

Meowth's group: You said it.

*(Megavolt chuckles as he ate some grapes)*

Megavolt: And lucky for us, we'll never have to be abused like we were with Vanitas' group.

*(Quackerjack then mocked them, making Meowth's group laugh at this, unaware that the villains are standing right next to him from behind, smirking evilly in a calm way)*

Quackerjack: (Imitating Don Karnage) Quackerjack, go get my sword or I'll whip you, yes, no? *(Imitating Vanitas)* Hey, Sparky, go pick up my Keyblade before I break your leg. *(Imitating Negaduck)* Liquidator, charge my chainsaw or I'll tase you.

*(He laughs a bit as Meowth's group at first laughed until they, except Quackerjack, stopped and gasped silently in shock upon seeing the villains. Quackerjack then started to turn around)*

Quackerjack: Never again...!

*(He stuttered in shock upon seeing the villains with Meowth's group)*

Meowth's group: Vanitas' group!

Bushroot: (Nervously) Oh, hey! Long time no see!

*(Vanitas' group smirked at Meowth's group. Merlock's gang are behind them, with Merlock holding the black lamp. Meowth's group nervously backed away)*

Vanitas: (Sarcastically) Oh, and is it really bad enough Don Karnage threatened to whip you, me threatening to break Megadolt's leg, and Negaduck threatening to tase Liquidator if you guys didn't do what we say? *(Pretending to be shocked)* Well, we're hurt.

Jessie: Now now. We know you are upset at us for dropping you in that well.

James: But what do you expect?

Megavolt: It's true that you abused us since our families' deaths....

Negaduck: Oh relax, guys.

Don Karnage: We did not come to get our revenge on you.

Meowth's group: You're not?

Vanitas: You can see that Merlock's gang are now our new friends.

Negaduck: They were nice enough to set us free from that black lamp.

Don Karnage: Unlike you, yes, no?

Meowth: Yeah, well, we better get going now and get Sonic, his brothers, and friends.

*(But the villains made Meowth's group, who tried to leave, stop by standing in their way)*

Vanitas: Not so fast.

Splatter Phoenix: We will make you an offer you can’t refuse.

Meowth: (Flatly) Trying to bribe us, eh?

Liquidator: (Flatly) We heard that before.

Negaduck: More than that.

Don Karnage: This’ll probably change your mind.

Vanitas: For you see, *she* is already well-aware of this…. Upcoming deal.

Meowth: (Confused) What do you mean "She?"

*(Don Karnage snaps his fingers, making Meowzie appear behind the villains, looking around in confusion when she noticed Meowth's group and became concerned. Even Meowth's group, who noticed her, became shocked)*

Meowth's group: Meowzie?!

Meowzie: It’s a tr…!

*(Suddenly, as Meowzie ran to Meowth's group, smoke chains appeared and bound and gagged her, making her fall down. Meowth ran up to her to free her when Don Karnage, with an evil smirk, snapped his fingers again, making Meowzie vanish again before Meowth reached her. After she vanished, Meowth and his group turned to the villains in anger)*

Meowth: Let her go, you jerks!

*(He lunged at Vanitas' group, but they dodged, making Meowth lunge at the ground instead, making Jessie, James, and the Fearsome Four concerned. As Meowth recovered with Jessie and James' help, the villains explained their deal)*

Vanitas: Ah-ah-ah!

Merlock: You must hear this deal.

Don Karnage: If you and your group rejoin us and betray Sonic, his brothers, and his friends, let us defeat the meddlers with a plan of deceit, while under a confession-proof spell along with Meowzie….

*(He snaps his fingers again and Meowzie, still bound and gagged in smoke chains, reappeared sitting next to Splatter Phoenix)*

Don Karnage: Then we’ll let you guys go free as birds and you, Meowth, can hang out and fall in love with Meowzie anytime you like, so what do you say?

*(Meowth's group looked at Meowzie in concern and then turned to the villains in suspicion)*

Bushroot: So basically, you want us to let you kill Sonic's group and their friends, right?

Don Karnage: Nah, just hurt them is all.

Vanitas: And besides, it’s just a little vengeance.

Negaduck: And what do you owe them, huh?

*(Don Karnage goes over to Meowzie and Splatter Phoenix and Don Karnage grabbed Meowzie with his hand from under her chin)*

Don Karnage: Isn't Meowzie more important?

*(He makes baby faces in front of Meowzie’s face)*

Don Karnage: Now answer us that.

Splatter Phoenix: Is she more important?

Meowth's group: Stop it!

Don Karnage and Splatter Phoenix: Isn't she?!

*(Don Karnage squeezed Meowzie's face tightly, hurting her. Meowth's group, instead of answering the question, reluctantly gave in)*

Meowth's group: Fine!

Jessie: We’ll help you!

James: But only if Sonic, his brothers, and friends don’t get hurt by you.

Meowth: And make sure she is safe from any harm!

Vanitas: Fine! That’s a fair deal.

Don Karnage: Meowzie will be safe from harm.

*(Don Karnage released his grip on Meowzie and continued the deal offer while walking over to Meowth's group)*

Splatter Phoenix: And nobody gets hurt by us.

Vanitas: And if Meowzie does get hurt, then the confession-proof spell casted on her will break and if she comes clean on this deal to anyone, then your confession-proof spells will break too. Now let’s shake on it.

*(He holds his hands out to Meowth's group, but they hesitated)*

Vanitas: You know, we don’t have time.

Negaduck: He has a point.

Don Karnage: We got plans right about now! Going once, going twice?

*(Meowth's group hesitantly turned to Meowzie and after she shook her head “No” with a pleading look, Meowth's group got determined and turned to the villains)*

Meowth's group: Deal!

Villains: Yes!

Vanitas: The deal is set!

*(Then with that, much to the horror of Meowzie, Meowth's group stuck their hands out and shook them with Vanitas’ hands. As soon as they touched to shake, a blue light surrounded Meowth's group and Meowzie, making them grimace in pain. After the light died down, Meowth's group dropped onto the ground while Meowzie drooped, feeling like they are disoriented)*

Vanitas: Now the spell may make you a little queasy.

Don Karnage: That’s right.

*(After Meowth's group and Meowzie came to, Don Karnage picked up an empty bowl nearby with a levitation spell and said this next)*

Don Karnage: Why not just…. SIT DOWN?!

*(On “DOWN,” he casts the bowl at Meowth's group, knocking them down onto their backs while Meowzie watched in shock and concern. As Meowth's group recovered, the villains came up to him with evil smirks)*

Vanitas: Now how does that feel when you betray us?

Negaduck: Isn’t it just peachy?

*(They turned to Meowzie still smirking evilly)*

Vanitas: And there’s a new thing we forgot to mention.

Villains: Yes.

*(They went up to Meowzie)*

Vanitas: Now, now, Meowzie.

Splatter Phoenix: A deal’s a deal.

Don Karnage: That’s right.

*(Don Karnage then snapped his fingers and then the smoke chains vanished, freeing Meowzie, making her cough at first)*

Meowzie: (Angrily) You jerks!

*(Just when Meowzie lunged at them to punch and/or scratch them, Splatter Phoenix grabbed her savagely)*

Splatter Phoenix: Now behave yourself!

Negaduck: And stay put with us until Merlock's gang….

*(The villains leered evilly with their evil smirks at Meowth's group)*

Negaduck: Captures the sultan and sultaness.

*(Meowth's group and Meowzie realized in shock)*

Meowth's group: Wait!

Liquidator: You said…!

Vanitas: (Laughs evilly) You are so gullible! *(Mockingly)*Make sure they’re safe! *(Seriously after laughing evilly along with the villains)* As if we’ll spare Sonic, his brothers, and friends!

Don Karnage: We said Vanitas and me *won’t* hurt them. But our Merlock's gang will.

James: (In disbelief) So that deal…?

*(The villains gave evil smug smiles and Meowth's group slowly got angry)*

Meowth's group: You tricked us!

Villains: We try.

Negaduck: Nothing compared to the day your families died.

*(Reacting in surprise, Meowth's group and Meowzie realized slowly)*

Meowzie: You mean...?

Villains: Yeah.

Negaduck: We, except Steelbeak who didn't join us yet, killed them.

Vanitas: They should've accepted the offer to join us in our conquest on Agrabah and the world, but they refused. And besides, we did it to give you dorks an incentive to join us.

*(Meowth's group ran up to them to punch them, or scratch them in Meowth's case and use magic attacks on them in the Fearsome Four's case, but Don Karnage whipped them down)*

Don Karnage: Ah-ah-ah! Remember the deal.

Merlock: Or do you want Meowzie to get hurt?

Meowth: (Shocked) You wouldn't!

Meowth's group: (Shocked) Please, don't!

Villains: We would.

Vanitas: Unless you cooperate.

Meowzie: (To Meowth's group) You mustn't, please!

*(But Don Karnage rebound and regagged her in smoke chains again and then locked her in a cage)*

Vanitas: Stay quiet!

Don Karnage: Unlike the princesses before.

*(Meowth's group got concerned for Meowzie, then sighed in defeat)*

Meowth's group: Okay.

*(Then with that, the villains left with the captive Meowzie in tow, leaving Meowth's group alone)*

***Coming up: Meowth's group reluctantly leads Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Marahute, Cloud, and Aerith into a trap involving the eventual capture of Cloud and Aerith. At the same time this happens, Vanitas, Don Karnage, Negaduck, and Merlock's gang capture Vector, his family, and Chip so they and the captive Meowzie won't intervene eventually.***
