Season 1 Episode 3: Mad Tiki Science Part 3

Ash: (Voice-over) Previously on “Ashladdin the Series….”

Louie Kingston: Any clue signs the crooks pulling off for their Tiki scheme?

Ash: Nothing so far.

Aku-Aku: That symbol with the Tiki Scepter…. Seemed familiar to me.

Ash: (Voice-over) While we were investigating on why Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs want the Tiki Scepter, along with learning of how Baloo’s group escaped from them and got the Tiki Scepter back from them, we come upon a blueprint that had something to do with it. However, after a close call ambush against the enemy en route on returning to the palace, we managed to outsmart them. But unfortunately the next morning, Ruggedo and Cortex’s gangs attacked Crash’s group’s apartment and when Serena’s group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon left to investigate, they were unexpectedly kidnapped by the enemy to be used as ransom for the Tiki Scepter, which the villains revealed via the ransom note that they need it to revive this ancient evil Tiki Mask named Uka-Uka. Boy, I definitely hope we save Serena’s group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon.

Opening song: Arabian Nights (Ashladdin Version)

Mad Tiki Science Part 3

*(Later back at the palace after gathering all their supplies and weapons and Drake and Fenton are dressed in their respective Darkwing Duck and Gizmoduck outfits, they got the Gummi Ship all packed up and readied)*

Toshiko: Please save our daughters, nieces, and even Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon.

Haruhiko: They are definitely the jewels of our lives.

Grace: Besides Kari being Tai's little sister.

Biyomon: Rest assured, you’re majesties, we will rescue them.

Tai: And make them regret which older brother they messed with.

Don Karnage: (To Ash's gang) And do not be telling us that you’re foolishly trading the Tiki Scepter for those girls, yes no?

Heroes except Don Karnage: (Aghast) What?!

Ash: No! Like we told you already, we’re pretending to go along with the ransom so we can sneak in and rescue the girls.

Molly: (Showing her Lucy doll) And make sure none of the bad guys find the Tiki Scepter.

*(She winks at him. Flabbergasted at first, Don Karnage glared nonchalantly)*

Don Karnage: (Nonchalantly) Then bringing along the object they seek to their hideout is what’s called recklessness.

*(The heroes, however, gave calm smug smiles, much to his confusion)*

Don Karnage: What?

Baloo: Not necessarily.

Don Karnage: What is this “Not necessarily” talk you talking about?

*(Ash’s group then gestures to the Gummi Ship’s secret trunk compartment while Molly opens her Lucy doll’s back section a bit, revealing that the real Tiki Scepter is hidden in the trunk and now a fake Tiki Scepter is in her Lucy doll instead. Realizing while impressed by now, Don Karnage understood)*

Don Karnage: Ah, the Great Don Karnage is getting it now.

Crash: (Transforms into and imitating Dick Tracy) It’s gonna be one snafu those crooks will never forget.

*(Then he changes back. Then as they prepared to climb aboard the Gummi Ship with Volteer’s group seeing them off, they noticed Tiny and Dingodile feeling somewhat guilty and Aku-Aku feeling calmly uneasy)*

Volteer: What’s the matter, you three?

*(Hearing them, Tiny and Dingodile sighed softly while Aku-Aku calmly and somewhat regained his confident self as he cleared his throat)*

Aku-Aku: Sorry, just lost in thought. We should get going now.

Dingodile: I just have the terrible feeling that this is all me and Tiny’s fault Serena’s group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon got kidnapped.

Tiny: That feeling does not feel good.

*(But the heroes became reassuring to the two mutants)*

Rebecca: Hey, it’s not your fault.

Wildcat: (Agreeing) We just didn’t expect it.

Louie Kingston: So, if I were you, just drown those guilt blues away and just overcome that kind of problem with a little action, Jackson.

*(The heroes nod in agreement. A brief silence, then Tiny and Dingodile, feeling better, understood)*

Tiny and Dingodile: You’re right.

Tiny: Let’s go save Mimi, Palmon, Kari, Gatomon, and Princesses’ group.

Dingodile: Make those bullies wish they were never born in a humiliating way.

*(Then they resumed business as the heroes boarded the Gummi Ship and got ready to take off while Volteer’s group stayed behind to see them off)*

Volteer: When you find Serena’s group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon and head back to the Gummi Ship, contact me.

Heroes: Got it.

*(Then with that, the Gummi Ship took off into the air towards the desert. As they flew, the heroes became curious about Aku-Aku’s sudden down behavior upon seeing his down look again. But the only heroes who recognize that look, and seemingly know about what Aku-Aku’s feeling, were Crash, Sombra, Gene, Coco, and Crunch)*

Dumptruck: What’s with the dumps, Aku-Aku?

*(Hearing him, Aku-Aku snapped out of it again and got confused)*

Aku-Aku: What?

Dumptruck: What’s with the dumpy behavior suddenly?

Tombo: We’ve noticed that since learning about Serena’s group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon getting kidnapped for ransom.

Aku-Aku: (Feeling somewhat uneasy) Well….

Megavolt: So, what’s going on with you?

Liquidator: We especially couldn’t help but notice that Crash’s group with you felt the same reaction as you.

Jessie: Any secrets you know?

*(Crash, Sombra, Gene, Coco, Crunch, and Aku-Aku suddenly felt uneasy and then Gene shyed away)*

Gene: (Uneasily) Well, let’s just say that we, well, you know.

*(Confused, the heroes asked away separately)*

Matt: Who is this Uka-Uka anyway?

*(No answer as Aku-Aku and Crash’s main group hesitated)*

Pikachu: (Confused) Pika?

Gabumon: You know who this Uka-Uka is, from those reactions, right?

*(Crash, Sombra, Gene, Coco, and Crunch tensed a bit while Aku-Aku hesitated again, much to even Mohawk, Sabrina, Luz, and Lisa’s concern)*

Lisa: What bad things did he do to you?

Aku-Aku: (Sighs) Really bad things.

James: Did he hurt you like Merlock’s group did to me and Meowth’s group?

*(Aku-Aku hesitated again while Crash, Sombra, Gene, Coco, and Crunch tensed even more)*

Meowth: Did he happen to also kill someone you know before?

*(Finally, Crash, Sombra, Gene, Coco, and Crunch snapped calmly while Coco immediately puts the Gummi Ship on autopilot and stood up)*

Crash’s main group: Yes!

*(Then they calmed down)*

Gene: Remember when we told Ash’s gang about how we became genies?

Heroes: Yes, why?

Gene: It’s because…. Well….

Aku-Aku: Uka-Uka, he….

*(He finally explains it grimly)*

Aku-Aku: He was responsible for Crash, Sombra, and Gene’s genie curse.

Crash: As well as the murder of Gene’s real parents.

*(Shocked and surprised at first, the heroes got curious)*

Ash: So, that “Ancient enemy” you told us before….

Aku-Aku: (Nods grimly) Yes. It was Uka-Uka….

Crunch: (To the heroes) And in case you ask how we know him, well…. *(To Aku-Aku)* Tell them.

Aku-Aku: (To Crunch) Of course. *(To the heroes)* Uka-Uka is, unfortunately, *(Hesitates at first, then explained in a calm bitter and grim tone)* my twin brother.

*(Shocked on what they just learned, the heroes, except Don Karnage, immediately got calmly sympathetic)*

Patamon: An opposite twin brother, huh?

Launchpad: That’s harsh.

Bushroot: Totally harsh.

Kaya: Even we had a feeling it had something to do with family issues.

Liquidator: And it's definitely not good at all.

*(Eevee chirps a bit in agreement)*

Don Karnage: Let alone an evil brother opposite of the goody brother.

Scrooge: (Noticing that Launchpad's the only one flying the Gummi Ship) Isn't Coco supposed to help you fly while you do the crash courses?

Launchpad: (Casually reassuring) Aw, no worries, Mr. McD.

Darkwing: (Agreeing) We saw Coco put it on autopilot just now so Launchpad wouldn't screw up the flight pattern.

Launchpad: (Nods) A little upgrade we did on the Gummi Ship after we merged Coco's with Crunch's.

Coco and Crunch: (Nods) Yeah.

*(Getting it, the heroes then changed the subject to discuss Aku-Aku and Crash's group's knowledge of this Uka-Uka)*

Tai: Anywho, about the situation between this Uka-Uka and you guys.

Baloo: You guys want to take this from the top?

Crash: Well, it's hard on Gene, but....

Gene: We'll tell ya.

*(Then he asked away)*

Gene: Mind if the whole explanation can be a flashback to the past from ten thousand years ago?

Ash's group: (Shrugs in agreement with the heroes) It's your call.

Darkwing: (Points at us readers) Even *they* need to know about it.

Jiji: No shame in that.

*(Then Crash's main group explained away)*

Sombra: It's not a pretty story.

Gene: And like I said, it was ten thousand years ago, a long, long time ago in the Arabian times.

*(Then we crossfade to the past in the Arabian times desert ten thousand years ago, during the time the Hotel Atlantis was still on the surface and Pompeii and Vesuvius is still intact via a flashback. In a Polynesian-themed desert kingdom, Crash, Sombra, and Coco were attending a Tiki coronation for Aku-Aku becoming the High Tiki Mask for their kingdom. Then Gene and Crunch happily came up to them, carrying some food for the event)*

Crunch: Sorry we're late, we had to help Gene's parents with their house chores.

Gene: What did we miss?

Coco: Nothing. It just started.

*(Then on the stage as Gene and Crunch seated, Aku-Aku is being Tiki-styled knighted by a bigger Tiki mask, revealed to be the Chief Tiki Mask)*

Chief Tiki Mask: O Great Aku-Aku, for this, I shall grant you the responsibility of a High Tiki Mask for our people and the people, our friends, who worship us.

*(After the knighting is completed, Chief Tiki Mask asks one more question to Aku-Aku, who rose up with a soft smile)*

Chief Tiki Mask: And do you swear, by the Gods and Goddesses across the world, to take full responsibility and wisely take care of our people, as well as many other people besides the ones who worship us?

Aku-Aku: (Bows in respect) I swear, by the Gods and Goddesses across the world. I will take full responsibility for the well-being of others.

*(Chief Tiki Mask smiled calmly and then magically bestowed a magic light into Aku-Aku's body)*

Chief Tiki Mask: Then, from this day forward, you, Aku-Aku, are now the High Tiki Mask. Forever worshipped and respected, and forever wise.

*(Then the crowd happily cheered a bit and threw their Polynesian headpieces into the air, like it's a graduation ceremony. Nearby watching the whole thing on the stage in secret calm bitterness, is a male Tiki Mask. This particular Tiki Mask is a male dark evil-looking jet black Tiki Mask with a deep yellow zigzagged stripe on the forehead, a red beard, three bones, one tied to the forehead and two dangling from a rope on either side of the mask, glowing gold yellow eyes, complete with green bags underneath, a small, tan, rectangular nose, thick red eyebrows that appear dark, red lips, and sharp white fangs. He is Uka-Uka, Aku-Aku's said twin brother he and Crash's main group just mentioned back in the present day. Later at night in the Polynesian palace, a magic blast struck a nearby statue, revealing Uka-Uka blasting it in calm frustration. Seeing his twin brother all bitter, Aku-Aku and Chief Tiki Mask came in to talk with him. Hearing them come in without looking, Uka-Uka responded calmly with a hint of bitterness)*

Uka-Uka: I take it you're here to mingle with me, along with the rest of the mortal commoners?

Aku-Aku: No. We're just here to have a nice talk.

Chief Tiki Mask: The both of us couldn't help but notice that you were the only one who is not happy for your twin brother's ceremony.

Aku-Aku: And that deeply concerns all of us.

Uka-Uka: (Mockingly) Oh, I feel awful.

*(Then he used his magic ghostly fingernails to claw at a nearby column, and the screeching noises from that made Aku-Aku and Chief Tiki Mask wince a bit at the sound like it's a chalkboard the fingernails are scraping. After that's done, Uka-Uka scoffs while dispersing his ghostly fingernails)*

Uka-Uka: (Scoffs, then sarcastically) I never meant to concern you.

Chief Tiki Mask: I may not appreciate your sarcastic tone, but if you were like your brother, you should've been first in line to be the new Wise Tiki Mask since you were born first before him.

Uka-Uka: (Glaring darkly at Aku-Aku) Well, I *was* first in line, until a certain goody two-shoed twin brother of mine ratted me out, *(Eyes Chief Tiki Mask briefly in a dark glaring way)* making you deem me unworthy.

Aku-Aku: (Staying calm) This "Ratted out" and "Unworthy" you mention, you almost hurt some desert rabbits just because they wouldn't stop jumping on you. And if I hadn't reported it, they would've consequently been killed by your reckless magic.

Chief Tiki Mask: (Agreeing, staying calm) And those who are wicked and cruel to other innocent lifeforms will, indeed, be dubbed unworthy.

Uka-Uka: (Sneeringly) Well, I guess I'll just have to practice being patient with bunny rabbits.

*(He was about to leave when Aku-Aku spoke to him sternly)*

Aku-Aku: (In calm sternness) Don't you dare turn your back on us, Uka-Uka!

Uka-Uka: Silence! It's *you* who shouldn't have turned your back on *me*!

*(He was about to leave again when Aku-Aku zipped right in front of him, blocking the way, feeling insulted while Chief Tiki Mask approached calmly in calm concern)*

Aku-Aku: Is that an insulting challenge, brother?!

Uka-Uka: (Shakes his head nonchalantly) Temper, temper. And *you* tell *me* to keep patience, hypocrite?

Aku-Aku: (Calming himself, still feeling calmly angry) You are making yourself more unworthy with those words. And I am not a hypocrite, I know when I can lose patience wisely, like Chief Tiki Mask has been teaching me, like you should've been taught from him.

Chief Tiki Mask: He has a good point, Uka-Uka.

Uka-Uka: (Calmly growls a bit) That's what you think.

Aku-Aku and Chief Tiki Mask: (Becoming calmly frustrated) Uka-Uka....

Uka-Uka: (Continuing) You are all the same as the others.

Aku-Aku and Chief Tiki Mask: (With Chief Tiki Mask about to explode in anger) Uka-Uka...!

Uka-Uka: (About to conclude) Soft-hearted wimpy Tiki Masks with bleeding hearts to useless scum like those morta...!

Chief Tiki Mask: (Calmly exploding in anger, silencing a still calmly bitter Uka-Uka) Remember your place, Uka-Uka!

*(Then after a brief silence as Aku-Aku, who saw him lose his temper like that, stayed quiet out of respect, Chief Tiki Mask calmed down and reiterated in a calm peaceful way)*

Chief Tiki Mask: Remember your place.

Aku-Aku: (Calmly agreeing, with a hint a begging) Just as *I* always remembered, please.

*(A short pause, then Uka-Uka bitterly relented)*

Uka-Uka: (In calm bitterness) Very well. But as far as brains go, I got the knowledge share, but when it comes to magic and brute strength.... *(Then he starts to leave in calm bitterness)* I'm afraid I'm just at the end of our gene pool.

*(Then with that, he left while Aku-Aku and Chief Tiki Mask watched silently in calm concern, feeling a little sorry for Uka-Uka, despite some disrespect the third latter just inflicted on them)*

Aku-Aku: (Calmly shakes his head in disbelief) Whatever are we going to do with him?

Chief Tiki Mask: I am not sure.

*(Then they leave the room. Back in the present, the heroes were calmly surprised at what they were just told by Aku-Aku from his side of the story)*

Izzy: Oh, my....

Ash: So, basically, this Uka-Uka was actually jealous of you getting all the popularity from the people you care about?

Gomamon: That's somewhat sad.

Tentomon: Especially when anyone like him want all the attention.

Meowth: (Shakes his head in calm shock) And I thought *my* former rivalry against Pikachu was bad.

Pikachu: (Nods in agreement) Pika.

Aku-Aku: (Nods) Only because he was the first to be born before me at the same day and time. And deep down, he cares only about himself from what the Chief and I sensed from within his blackened heart.

Crash: Which did not make us expect to what sadly happened next.

*(The heroes figured it out)*

Molly: Is that when you three were...?

Crash, Sombra, and Gene: (Nods grimly) Yes.

*(Back in the past, Crash's group was hanging around with Aku-Aku when Gene noticed the sundial by the light from a burning torch and realized something)*

Gene: Shabooey! I promised my parents that I was to be home by midnight!

*(Realizing, Crash's group understood and lets him leave, bidding each other a good night. After Gene left, Crash's group noticed Aku-Aku looking calmly grim)*

Crunch: What's wrong, Aku-Aku?

Sombra: What seems to be troubling you?

*(A brief silence upon Aku-Aku hearing them, and then....)*

Aku-Aku: The Chief and I have a terrible feeling....

Coco: About what?

Crash: You're scared you're gonna let the Chief and us down?

Aku-Aku: No. Something worse than that.

*(Realizing, Crash shrugs it away)*

Crash: Aw, relax, Aki. You're just worried because of your little tiff with Uka-Uka earlier tonight.

Aku-Aku: (Feeling uneasy) Well, Crash.... Just because Uka-Uka and I had what you call "A little tiff" earlier, does not mean I should just shake a bad feeling off. My clan and I always sense when something bad could happen.

Crash: (Confused) Hm?

Aku-Aku: (Continuing his explanation) Like I said, even the Chief sensed a terrible feeling with me. Like something tragic could happen within 24 hours.

*(Back in the present, the heroes calmly got it)*

Don Karnage: (Nonchalantly) So, basically, your orange bandicoot friend who formally was a genie didn't get the bad picture, correct?

Kit: Until it was too late.

Crash's group: That's right.

Crash: Didn't think any of it that time.

Sombra: We didn't want to doubt what Aku-Aku told us that time, but unfortunately, like we said, nothing prepared us for what happened the next day.

*(Back in the past the next morning, Aku-Aku was assisting some of his clan members and their worshipping people with their errands, even keeping a good watchful eye out for them like he vowed to do the night before at his coronation. After finishing up, he noticed Crash, Sombra, and Gene sitting on a nearby wooden bench, very quiet and looking calmly grim and hesitant, while Coco and Crunch were standing beside them, looking concerned. Curious, Aku-Aku approached them)*

Aku-Aku: What's the matter?

*(Hearing him, Crash, Sombra, and Gene hesitated while Coco and Crunch explained away)*

Coco: We met up with these three today, but....

Crunch: They've been acting distant and secretive to us lately today.

Crash: (Acting casual) No, no! Everything's fine. It's just, *(He hesitates)* uh....

*(Recognizing Crash's hesitation alongside Sombra and Gene's hesitation, Aku-Aku approached them reassuringly)*

Aku-Aku: (Reassuringly) Boys.... Somebody must've made you keep a big secret from us.

*(Crash, Sombra, and Gene hesitated again, but Aku-Aku continued to be reassuring with even Coco and Crunch)*

Crunch: You can tell Aku-Aku.

Coco: No more secrets, please?

Aku-Aku: If you tell us, we'll help you on it.

*(A brief pause, but then Crash, Sombra, and Gene took a calm deep breath and was getting ready to speak. Quickly cutting back to the present day, the heroes got shocked on what they just learned)*

Tawna: This Uka-Uka threatened to kill Gene's parents if they spilled the beans of his evil scheme?!

Aku-Aku: (Grimly) Yes.

*(He looks at Crash, Sombra, and Gene, who are hanging their heads down in silent sadness)*

Aku-Aku: Uka-Uka blackmailed them into a deal that if they keep his evil plot to usurp me a secret from our kingdom, then he would spare Gene's parents, who he kidnapped.

Crunch: However....

*(A short pause, then Sombra speaks up grimly)*

Sombra: (Grimly) The moment we finally told Aku-Aku, he and us secretly told the Chief what was happening and then....

*(He calmly stops. Back in the past, a battle was going on in the palace dungeon between the people and their worshipped Tiki Masks against Uka-Uka and his created dark Tiki Mask army. And in the fight, Aku-Aku and Uka-Uka were fighting each other, hellbent on defeating the other)*

Uka-Uka: (Angrily panting a bit) You just *had* to stick your nosy interfering business into mine!

Aku-Aku: (Angrily panting a bit) It is because you have brought dishonor on our kingdom doing this!

*(That struck an angry chord on Uka-Uka, that the evil Tiki mask immediately began to boil over his anger)*

Uka-Uka: (Getting slowly angry) "Dishonor?" *(His temper starting to boil over)* "DISHONOR?!!!"

*(He blasts a magic blast at Aku-Aku, knocking him down)*

Uka-Uka: (Angrily snapping) You accuse me of dishonor?!

*(He blasts Aku-Aku down again, stunning him more)*

Uka-Uka: (Angrily and dark-sounding) I'll give *you* dishonor.

*(Just when he blasted a magic death blow on Aku-Aku, Chief Tiki Mask leapt in between, taking the blow instead, much to the recovering Aku-Aku's shock)*

Aku-Aku: CHIEF!!

*(Then Chief Tiki Mask collapsed on the ground, mortally wounded with some charcoaled burn marks. Then Uka-Uka glared bitterly and coldly at his now dying chief)*

Uka-Uka: You're a fool, Chief.

*(Suddenly, he sensed something, and he immediately turned around quickly and with one magic blast, he knocks Sombra down, knocking his sword aside. Nearby, Crash, Gene, Coco, and Crunch rushed to Aku-Aku and the dying Chief Tiki Mask's aid)*

Coco: Aku-Aku, Chief!

Crunch: Hang in there!

*(Then Crash leapt at Uka-Uka, ready to strike him down with a spear, but Uka-Uka blasted the spear away, destroying it. Then noticing the silhouettes of Gene's parents below, attempting to escape, Uka-Uka immediately begins conjuring up a deadly explosive blast towards them. Noticing that, Crash's group, with Sombra recovering, and Aku-Aku got shocked and charged at him)*

Crash's group: NO!!!!

*(But just when they jumped him, Uka-Uka counterattacked the lunge by creating a barrier over himself and then with one blast, the blast struck down on the ground where Gene's parents are, blinding the entire scene in a bright white light. After it dies down, we crossfade back to the present, where the heroes are completely calmly shocked on what they learned, while Don Karnage, on the other hand, was calmly speechless)*

Tombo: My Allah....

Pikachu: (Calmly shocked while Icarus and Moonshee softly chirps a bit in shock and agreement) Pika....

Webby: So, that's when this Uka-Uka killed Gene's real parents.

TK: We're sorry that happened to them....

Patamon: Yeah....

*(Aku-Aku, Sombra, Coco, and Crunch nods grimly, with Gene being somewhat tearful, just shedding a couple of tears while hiding his eyes under the bill of his hat, that it even made Mohawk, Sabrina, Luz, Lisa, Tawna, and Scrooge's group gently pat both their parents/husband and even Gene's shoulders in comfort. Back in the past, another explosion blew up part of the wall of the palace, and Crash's group, Aku-Aku, Uka-Uka, and the dying Chief Tiki Mask blasted out, all angry and determined, with Gene the most upset while determined and angry. Then Uka-Uka used his magic to levitate a nearby potion and got ready to smash it at Crash, Sombra, and Gene)*

Aku-Aku: Uka-Uka, stop!

Chief Tiki Mask: (Weakly) There will be dire consequences to everyone and the world if you curse them!

Uka-Uka: (Bitterly) Forget the consequences! They are to be living in guilt and misery to grant greedy hearts' desires for the rest of their lives!

*(Then just when Aku-Aku stopped him, Uka-Uka quickly levitated the potion right onto Crash, Sombra, and Gene, surrounding them and their bodies in a powerful bluish green light. Watching helplessly, Coco and Crunch were about to run to the three's aid when Aku-Aku stopped them)*

Aku-Aku: Stop! You'll also get cursed if you touch them!

*(Then the light died down, revealing Crash, Sombra, and Gene, still their original selves, but this time, Gene is wearing his genie attire, and then as they recovered slowly, they and everyone else noticed a familiar gold magic lamp materialize near the three. Realizing in shock what that means, three gold auras surrounded Crash, Sombra, and Gene and then they started to get sucked into the lamp, when they grabbed onto a nearby tree branch for dear life)*

Crash, Sombra, and Gene: Help!

*(Aku-Aku, Coco, and Crunch watched in helpless shock, wanting to help them, but Aku-Aku, knowing better, kept themselves back. Then the branch broke, and Crash, Sombra, and Gene got completely sucked into the lamp. After that's done, Coco rushed up to the lamp and picked it up and began rubbing it. But Crash, Sombra, and Gene didn't come out from her rubbing. She tried again desperately, but nothing again. Then Uka-Uka chuckled wickedly a bit)*

Uka-Uka: And the best part of the curse; None of you three can be their masters to have three wishes granted by them, and those three especially can't wish themselves free. Only those who were not involved in this can let them out and be their new master until their three wishes are granted.

Aku-Aku: (In tranquil rage combined with calm sadness) Change them back to normal, or so help me...!

Uka-Uka: (Cutting him off abruptly, smirking evilly at him) Or what? You have no power to break the curse, fool! Even I can't break it. And if you find anyone who *can* break the curse by simply wishing them free from that lamp, then good luck.

*(He then slowly began to laugh evilly as Aku-Aku, Coco, Crunch, and the dying Chief Tiki Mask slowly changed their reactions from sadness to anger)*

Coco: You...!

*(Then Aku-Aku blasted a magic blast at Uka-Uka, stunning him in a magic barrier, ending his evil laughter)*

Coco: You monster!

Aku-Aku: (In tranquil fury) Then it pains me to do this to you, Brother.

*(Then Aku-Aku conjures up a powerful magic spell and then the spell encased Uka-Uka inside it and then the Tiki Scepter itself materialized and then blasted Uka-Uka's magic-encased body and then the magic-encased Uka-Uka was sent flying into the air and right into a nearby temple, sealed away. On cue from that, the dark Tiki Masks Uka-Uka conjured up disintegrated. Then after the Tiki Scepter dropped on the ground, Coco picks it up and grimly looking at Aku-Aku, Crunch, and the dying Chief Tiki Mask, knew what needs to happen next. Then we crossfade slowly and repeatedly to reveal Chief Tiki Mask and even the rest of the Tiki Masks mortally wounded from the same explosion that killed Gene's parents dying with Aku-Aku, Coco, Crunch, and the people by their side, with Aku-Aku now the only surviving Tiki Mask besides the now sealed Uka-Uka, up until it showed Aku-Aku, Coco, and Crunch grimly leaving the kingdom in self-exile, bringing the lamp with, with them and the people bidding each other a silent grim goodbye after Gene's parents, Chief Tiki Mask, and the now dead Tiki Masks' funeral. Even the people kept the Tiki Scepter, deciding to hide it with their riches to hopefully make sure it will never fall into the wrong hands in the future. During the crossfades, Aku-Aku was heard narrating the whole thing)*

Aku-Aku: (Voice-over) After Uka-Uka was sealed away, we, along with the people, stayed by Chief Tiki Mask and the other dying Tiki masks' side, for all of the Tiki Masks were mortally wounded by the same explosion that killed Gene's parents. As they lay dying with us staying by their side, Chief Tiki Mask advised me, Coco, and Crunch to leave in self-exile for the people's safety, as well as the world's, and he told me that if it will take more years for Crash, Sombra, and Gene to be freed from the curse, then I must upgrade the curse to help them use their magic wisely when and if they're freed of the curse by a master's wish to set them free. Taking the advice and words of wisdom at heart, me, Coco, and Crunch then ended up doing what he said after Gene's parents and his and the Tiki Masks' funeral; Leave in self-exile. We never even returned there to this very day.

*(Then we're revealed to Aku-Aku casting a magic spell on Coco and Crunch as they rested for the night)*

Aku-Aku: (Voice-over) And wanting Coco and Crunch to be there for Crash, Sombra, and Gene when they're eventually freed, I was able to cast an immortality spell on the two of them, which will then break if the master wishes Crash, Sombra, and Gene free.

*(Then we crossfade through more scenes involving one bandit being Crash, Sombra, and Gene's first master, with Aku-Aku, doing what Chief Tiki Mask asked him to do for Crash, Sombra, and Gene, upgraded the three's curse after he, Coco, and Crunch brought the three up to speed of what transpired since being sucked into the lamp)*

Aku-Aku: (Voice-over) Eventually, some desert bandit, we forgot who he is or what his name is, rubbed the lamp, and once Crash, Sombra, and Gene were out of the lamp because of him, Coco, Crunch, and I brought them up to speed of what happened after they got sucked into the lamp.

Sombra: (Voice-over) We were devastated from what we learned that time.

Crash: (Voice-over) Totally hit us like a ton of bricks.

Coco: (Voice-over) But thankfully, Crash, Sombra, and Gene agreed to let Aku-Aku upgrade their curse after we told them that's what we're gonna do to them.

Gene: (Voice-over) And the upgrade; It was me, Crash, and Sombra keeping every single magic in us after the curse is broken, all except one magic.

Crash: (Voice-over) And could you guess which one magic got stripped with the curse upon our freedom?

Heroes: (Voice-over, getting it) Wish-granting magic. (Pikachu.)

Crash's group: (Voice-over) Exactly.

*(Then we crossfade through images of Crash, Sombra, and Gene going through a next master to another for the past ten thousand years with Aku-Aku, Coco, and Crunch staying by their side. As that happened, Aku-Aku continued the story)*

Aku-Aku: (Voice-over) And with the upgraded curse and Coco and Crunch's immortality spell in place, we went through an entire ten thousand year run, hoping and wishing that a master could free Crash, Sombra, and Gene from their genie curse.

Coco: (Voice-over) As well as free me and Crunch from immortality.

Gene: (Voice-over) Along with us adapting to the world's modernizing ways as time passed on.

Coco: (Voice-over) Especially with me learning how to work on electronics, and yes, pilot a Gummi Ship, which we ended up owning and flying around the world with.

Crunch: (Voice-over) And as you may have guessed, none of those masters wished them free.

*(Then finally, come a week ago prior to the events of "Soraladdin," another bandit arrived with Crash's group to the Cave of Wonders, leading up to the second bandit getting killed by the cave's cave-in thanks to his greed and leaving Aku-Aku, Coco, and Crunch, their Gummi Ship, and even Crash, Sombra, and Gene and their lamp prison stuck in the Cave of Wonders)*

Aku-Aku: (Voice-over) Finally, ten thousand years to this timeline, two weeks ago of this year, the last bandit who was Crash, Sombra, and Gene's master, arrived to the Cave of Wonders with us.

Sombra: (Voice-over) But unfortunately, his last wish by his own greed got the better of him.

*(Then we cut to Aku-Aku, Coco, and Crunch, in the aftermath of being trapped in the Cave of Wonders after another mysterious thief's demise at the Cave's cave-in-like hands, which, unknown to them, is Nuka, hired by Merlock's group who discovered the legend of the lamp, dropping off Crash, Sombra, and Gene's lamp at the top of the very same staircased pillar where Ash eventually found it. Then later in the treasure chamber, a couple of days later in that flashback, Aku-Aku, Coco, and Crunch were hanging around their hidden Gummi Ship when suddenly, they heard familiar footsteps in suspicion and curiosity combined. Then, familiar voices)*

Ash: (Voice-over) Would you look at that!

Matt: (Voice-over) Cool!

Tombo: (Voice-over) This whole horde of treasure could make us even richer than the sultan and sultaness' group.

*(Then on Tombo's line in the flashback, it echoed a bit as Aku-Aku, Coco, and Crunch cautiously approached the source of Ash's gang's voices. Then we flash to a brief white screen, and then crossfade from that back to the present, with Crash's group and Aku-Aku then smiling softly at Ash)*

Crash: But surprise, surprise, guess who freed us with his last wish selflessly?

*(The heroes looked at Ash as well, and while Don Karnage was more dry-like, the heroes, on the other hand, smiled softly at Ash, impressed that he unexpectedly freed Crash's group from their eternal curse and immortality inflicted by Uka-Uka. Even Ash smiled softly in realization and agreement)*

Ash: (Nods) Me.

Megavolt: (Chuckles a bit) Looks like you realized that you rescued them from an eternal 10,000 year old misery.

Liquidator: Caused by an evil Tiki Mask.

Gabumon: And it's no wonder Discord's group said that we never had friends like them.

Crash: Exactly!

Ash: (Agreeing) Well, if there's one thing we're glad of for Merlock's group and this Uka-Uka, I'm a hero to Crash's group, freeing them.

Kaya: (Nods in agreement with Pikachu and Eevee, who also happily nodded in agreement and Pikachu patting Ash's shoulder proudly for a bit) Along with freeing Coco and Crunch from their immortality curse.

Pikachu: (Happily agreeing) Cha!

*(Then Pikachu happily gave Ash a proud tiny lick in his face, and then they both hugged each other happily)*

James: (Confused) What does Merlock's group have to do with...?

Mad Dog: (Dryly) Figure it out.

Bushroot: (Dryly) And don't tell us you forgot.

*(After thinking it over, James immediately realized)*

James: (Realizing happily) Oh, yeah, that's right! It was Merlock's group who led Ash's gang to Crash's group.

Gizmoduck: (Agreeing) Which, by destiny, caused Ash to become friends with them and use his last wish to free them.

Joe: (Agreeing while Ash and Pikachu finished their happy hug) And that's good.

Louie Kingston: (Smugly) And boy, oh, boy, is this Uka-Uka gonna be shockerooed to find this out.

Aku-Aku: (Nods) *If* he's ever released.

Sophia: But what if this Uka-Uka curses Crash's group into being genies again if released?

*(Crash's group smiled smugly)*

Aku-Aku: Actually, this may come to us as a thankful moment, but the potion Uka-Uka used that time....

Coco: It was the very last genie curse potion, and now those are extinct.

*(The heroes got relieved)*

Darkwing: Yep, yep, yep. I guess it makes perfect sense we don't have to worry about that.

Gosalyn: And when we rescue Serena's group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon, we'll bring them up to speed about this.

Morgana: Along with their majesties.

Heroes except Morgana: (Agreeing) Yeah. (Yes.)

*(Then with that, they resumed their flight to Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs' hideout's direction with Coco piloting the Gummi Ship again after turning off the auto pilot mode. At Ruggedo and Cortex's gang's hideout, which is in a huge desert cavern, Ruggedo and Cortex were helping their groups and gangs unpack all the supplies they got for their upcoming plan involving Uka-Uka once they have the Tiki Scepter, but the only members not with them are Pinstripe and Preed. During all of this, they talked about it)*

Dijon: Boy, oh, boy, this is gonna be one big plot nobody will ever forget!

Negaduck: And like you and the rest of Cortex's gang kept saying; We're gonna be rich beyond our wildest dreams once we implement this plot once we get the Tiki Scepter and release this Uka-Uka with it.

*(Suddenly, the intercom beeped and upon answering it, Cortex spoke through it)*

Cortex: Yes, Pinstripe, Preed?

*(In another room, we cut to a closeup shot of Preed and Pinstripe, somehow sitting back to back and are leaning at the intercom's microphone on their end, yet we can't see why they're like that and why they're doing this)*

Pinstripe: Uh, Boss Doc Cortex?

Cortex: (Voice-over) How are our hostages?

Preed: (Sarcastically) Oh, splendid, they're having a blast in our hideout, all except for one simple hypothetical setback for us.

*(Back with Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs....)*

Cortex: (Suspiciously) What are you talking about "Hypothetical setbacks?"

Ruggedo: (Suspiciously in agreement) Yeah, what?

Preed: (Voice-over) Well, um, this may come to you as a shock, but....

*(Back with Pinstripe and Preed....)*

Cortex: (Voice-over, shouting) JUST GET TO THE POINT!!!!

Ruggedo: (Voice-over, in annoyance) Just spit it out!

Pinstripe: (Quickly answers) The hostages got away.

*(Then we pan back from Pinstripe and Preed, finally revealing why they're sitting back to back and both leaning at their intercom end; They are both tied up together, with their hands even tied behind their own backs, tied to the other's tied hands, and they managed to contact Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs with Preed's right foot pushing the intercom's call button, as shown with Preed's right foot sticking out on the button, and a cell door near them unlocked and some ropes laying nearby cut up, apparently revealing that Serena's group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon were tied up and locked in a cell earlier, but they somehow escaped)*

Ruggedo and Cortex: (Voice-over, dumbfounded) What?

Pinstripe: (Rolls his eyes in annoyance while briefly struggling to free himself and Preed) Must we enunciate?!

Preed: (Struggles a bit to free himself and Pinstripe in agreement and annoyance) Our hostages outsmarted us and escaped!

*(A short pause, then....)*

Preed and Pinstripe: Bosses?

Ruggedo and Cortex: (Voice-over, extremely shocked and livid) YOU LET THEM GET AWAY?!!!

*(Back with Cortex and Ruggedo's gangs, Preed explained away while Ruggedo and Cortex are extremely livid as they listened)*

Preed: (Voice-over) Well, Pinstripe foolishly let those girls seduce him into unlocking their cell so they can have a...!

Pinstripe: (Voice-over, aghast, then angrily indignantly) "Foolishly seduced?!" I did what I unexpectedly did for them because they were crying!

Preed: (Voice-over, angrily) Can't you ever tell the difference between real and crocodile tears, Big Nose?!

Pinstripe: (Voice-over, angrily) Hey! Their tears looked genuine!

*(On Pinstripe's line here, Ruggedo and Cortex slowly fumed with anger even more)*

Preed: (Voice-over, angrily) But that's no excuse to be sedu...!

*(Annoyed and fuming with anger at Preed and Pinstripe for letting their guard down towards Serena's group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon, Ruggedo and Cortex snapped)*

Ruggedo and Cortex: ENOUGH!!!!

Cortex: Find our hostages...!

Ruggedo: And recapture them!

*(Back with Preed and Pinstripe....)*

Ruggedo and Cortex: (Voice-over) NOW!!!!

*(Then Ruggedo and Cortex's end clicked, indicating that they hung up. Then immediately Pinstripe began explaining away in anger and determination as Preed suddenly moved his and Pinstripe's tied hands up and down for some reason, and Pinstripe isn't even paying attention to that as he talked)*

Pinstripe: Just as soon as we cut ourselves free, that is.

*(Then we see up close to Preed and Pinstripe again)*

Preed: (Smugly at first) Well, Pinstripe, I....

Pinstripe: And once we find those gals....

Preed: (Slowly losing his smugness and getting annoyed) Pinstripe....

Pinstripe: We ain't gonna let them leave this place...!

Preed: (Getting annoyed) Pinstripe...!

Pinstripe: And we'll show them the true meaning of crocodile t...!

Preed: (Shouting, finally getting his attention by suddenly grabbing him, his hands suddenly untied) PINSTRIPE!!!!

Pinstripe: (Turning to Preed and grabbing his untied hand with his own hand, now also untied, his attention caught) What?!

*(Then he noticed that he and Preed are now untied, and Preed smugly shows off his knife, revealing that he actually managed to cut the ropes, freeing himself and Pinstripe and the cut ropes they were once tied together in are laying on their laps)*

Preed: (Smugly) All taken care of for our ropes.

*(Then after pushing the cut ropes off of themselves once finally untied, Preed and Pinstripe got up, and then ran off to go after the escaped Serena's group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon while Preed puts his knife away. Out in the desert as the evening slowly arrived, the heroes' Gummi Ship flew through the air and then upon spotting the cavern entrance, they immediately realized what that is from the moment they saw a familiar N logo combined with a miner helmet)*

Ash: There it is!

TK: Ruggedo and Cortex's gang's hideout.

Honker: Without a doubt that's Ruggedo and Cortex's gang's new logo symbol.

Biyomon: Tiny, Dingodile, you used to work for these crooks, right?

Kit: (Agreeing) You know a way to sneak in?

Tiny: Lucky sneak in, yes.

Dingodile: We'll use the back door on the front lower corner of the mountain.

*(He points at a nearby secret passageway on the front lower corner. Then Coco and Launchpad flew the Gummi Ship towards the secret passageway's entrance. Upon entering, they flew through a short tunnel and then landed on a nearby secret passageway dock)*

Baloo: Whoo, that was some ride.

*(Then after disembarking, the heroes got ready to begin their trek through the secret passageway tunnel)*

Rebecca: (Whispering) Molly?

Molly: (Whispering) Yeah, Mommy?

Rebecca: (Whispering) Still got the...? *(Whispering, gestures to her Lucy doll)* You-know-what?

Molly: (Whispering, nods) Yep.

Rebecca: (Whispering) Atta girl.

*(Then the heroes began their trek. Suddenly, they come upon a suspicious-looking tunnel with three gold sculpted columns lined up in a row on both sides of the tunnel walls, making a total of six gold columns, making Tiny and Dingodile gesture everyone to stop)*

Dingodile: Hold it.

Tiny: This is where things get harder.

James: Our guess; Booby traps?

Tiny: Exactly.

Dingodile: Yep.

*(Then Launchpad, after taking a closer look at the columns, shrugged and proceeded to walk on casually)*

Launchpad: Doesn't seem dangerous to me.

*(Suddenly, he tripped on a nearby cobblestone switch he stepped on and fell down, activating the first two columns' built-in flamethrowers, but luckily for Launchpad, the flames missed him since he tripped and fell down, and as soon as he landed on the ground from falling down, his foot got off the cobblestone switch, deactivating the flamethrowers. During this, James, Sky, Megavolt, and Bushroot jumped into Jessie, Fidget, Quackerjack, and Liquidator's arms respectively in a panic. Then Patamon, the Pokemon, smaller animals, and kids, except Sky, approached cautiously as they helped Launchpad up)*

Pikachu: (In concern for Launchpad) Pika pika!

Patamon: (In concern) Are you alright?

Launchpad: (Recovering, about to get up) I'm okay.

Darkwing: (Quickly gestures Launchpad to stop) LP, wait!

Scrooge: (Enunciating) Don't, get, up yet.

*(Doing what Darkwing and Scrooge ordered, Launchpad lowered himself again, and then Lillipup stepped her paw onto the cobblestone switch and the flamethrowers fired again, and again, she, Patamon, the kids, smaller animals, and other Pokemon dodged them by ducking while deactivating the flamethrowers by stepping off the cobblestone switch)*

Tank: (Surprised while James, Sky, Megavolt, and Bushroot climbed out of Jessie, Fidget, Quackerjack, and Liquidator's arms) Whoa! Lucky for you guys, you were way low, or your gooses would've been literally cooked.

Dingodile: (Agreeing) Yeah, like shrimp on a barby.

Tiny: That is why you need to be careful, Tiny and Dingodile ain't saying it again.

Dingodile: If you're not careful around here, then any booby trap here will skewer you.

*(After Launchpad got up cautiously thanks to Patamon, the Pokemon, smaller animals, and kids, he carefully returned to the heroes' side while Patamon, the Pokemon, smaller animals, and kids, with Ash's group, Megavolt, Izzy, Tentomon, and Sky now cautiously joining in, studied the columns, figuring out their mechanisms)*

Megavolt: Call us crazy, but each of these columns have three separate cobblestone button mechanisms with different styles of booby traps.

Izzy: Like some kind of chain reaction.

Matt: (Getting it with the heroes) Which means....

*(They noticed the other two cobblestone buttons in front of the other four columns and figured it out)*

Honker: If this first switch is in front of the first two columns consisting the flamethrowers....

*(Huey, Dewey, and Louie then pulled out their bag of marble balls and cleverly flicked one onto both switches, activating their booby traps, with the second one being a built-in guillotine on both sides of both the second row of columns, and a spiked mace ball shooting out from both sides of the last row of columns)*

Izzy: Prodigious! Now we definitely know where the cobblestone buttons are located.

*(Then immediately after being activated, the booby traps restarted immediately while the marble ball stopped rolling along past them, undamaged. Now getting the mechanisms, the heroes then cautiously, and cleverly, went through the area without stepping on the cobblestone buttons while Huey picked up his marble ball and puts it away in his, Dewey, and Louie's marble ball bag. Once past all of them, they resumed their trek)*

Leo: All clear?

Tiny and Dingodile: (Giving a thumb's up) Yep.

Dingodile: All clear.

Joe: (Sighs in relief) Oh, thank Allah.

*(Then they resumed their trek. they noticed that nobody is in the tunnels)*

Wildcat: Anybody home?

*(Tiny and Dingodile scoured the area)*

Dingodile: From what Tiny and I can see....

*(Then they see the coast is clear in relief)*

Dingodile: Nope.

Tiny: Coast is clear so far.

*(The heroes got relieved, glad to hear that)*

Baloo: Well, then.

Louie Kingston: Let's resume our search and rescue for the gals, three of them Princesses being in distresses.

*(Then they resumed their trek. Suddenly, they heard four footsteps approaching and got cautious and suspicious as they armed themselves)*

Rebecca: (Whispering) Get ready....

Biyomon: (Whispering) You'd never know what's here.

*(Then they noticed that it's two of Cortex's scientist goons and two Nomes walking by on patrol. Suddenly, upon spotting the heroes, the scientists and Nomes got surprised and aimed their spears at them. But luckily for the heroes....)*

Baloo: (To the heroes, clapping a bit and winking at them secretly) Everybody hoedown!

*(Getting it, the heroes played along with Baloo's plan)*

Quackerjack: It's playtime!

*(Then Crash, Gene, TK, Patamon, Pikachu, Megavolt, Quackerjack, Baloo, and Kit, after Crash and Gene both magically transformed into Richard Simmons, danced around, making the confused, surprised, and dumbfounded scientists and Nomes join in)*

Crash: **Well, swing to the left**

Gene and TK: **And swing to the right**

Baloo: **Do-si-do all day and night**

Patamon: **Back and forth**

Megavolt: **And around about**

Kit: **Then you knock your partner out**

Quackerjack: **And I like coffee**

TK and Patamon: **He likes tea**

Megavolt: **He likes toys**

Megavolt, Quackerjack, TK, and Patamon: **And they like him (me)**

*(Then Crash, Gene, TK, Patamon, Pikachu, Megavolt, Quackerjack, Baloo, and Kit knocked the scientists and Nomes, now dizzied from the dancing, right into each other, knocking them out. Impressed, the heroes congratulated the nine as Crash and Gene returned to normal)*

Rebecca: Not bad.

Matt: Great job dancing with them, TK.

TK: Thanks, Matt.

Baloo: (Offering a high-five to the heroes) Slap me some skin, kin.

*(Then they high-fived)*

Quackerjack: (To the dizzied and knocked out scientists and Nomes) Playtime's over!

TK: (Waving goodbye to the dizzied and knocked out scientists and Nomes) Bye!

Patamon: (Waving goodbye to the dizzied and knocked out scientists and Nomes) It's been fun dancin' with ya

*(Then they ran down the tunnel. Upon reaching a new room, the heroes suddenly heard more footsteps and armed themselves again. Suddenly, they heard the footsteps stop and then some familiar female voices)*

Serena: (Voice-over, whispering) More guards.

Kiki: (Voice-over, whispering) They never leave us alone.

Sora: (Voice-over, whispering) If they see us, attack.

Mimi: (Voice-over, whispering) And then we run like crazy.

Serena's group, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon: (Voice-over, whispering) Right.

*(Nearby the heroes sure enough, Serena's group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon, wielding their Keyblades for the human girls' case, got ready to attack, not even noticing that it's actually the heroes. Then the heroes approached the girls)*

Crash, Agumon, and Gomamon: Hey, gals! (girls!)

Tai and Joe: Are you al...?

*(Suddenly, without seeing them and the heroes, Serena's group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon whacked Crash, Tai, Agumon, Joe, and Gomamon away like they're hitting golf balls with golf clubs, knocking the five down)*

Crash: (While smacked aside with Tai, Agumon, Joe, and Gomamon) Whoa!

*(Then Serena's group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon got ready to run off, unknowingly shoving the other heroes they didn't notice yet aside, all except for the surprised Pokemon, Digimon, smaller animals, and kids)*

Serena: That'll teach those goons who they're...!

*(Then she, her group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon suddenly stopped in surprise and realization)*

Serena: Wait!

*(Serena's group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon turned around and finally saw the heroes recovering with the surprised Pokemon, Digimon, smaller animals, and kids' help. Then Serena's group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon, feeling embarrassed in realization, ran up to them to assist them)*

Serena's group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon: Guys!

*(Once all recovered thanks to Serena's group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon, the heroes are all reunited, glad to see each other again)*

Jiji: Thank Allah you and the rest of the girls are alright, Kiki. Thank Allah.

Kiki: (Shrugs happily) Well, yeah.

Mimi: (Agreeing) We're fine.

Sora: Even managed to escape before meeting up with you.

Kari: And we're sorry for attacking you like that.

Serena's group, Mimi, Palmon, and Gatomon: Yeah, sorry.

Heroes: (Casually accepting their apology) Eh, it's alright.

Gatomon: Yet there's one question.

Heroes: What's that?

Gatomon: Who is this Uka-Uka Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs are talking about?

Sora: And what's going on?

*(Then the heroes huddled Serena's group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon in with their huddle and through quiet mumbles, apparently re-explained the whole backstory involving Uka-Uka. After that's done, Serena's group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon, getting it now, understood)*

Serena's group: We get it now.

Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon: Aku-Aku's twin brother.

Heroes: Yeah. (Yes.)

*(Then they changed the subject)*

Tombo: Well, now that we found you....

Meowzie: Let's cancel the ransom scam idea.

Stellaluna: And get out of here.

*(Then, after Ash, Matt, and Tombo handed Serena, Sora, and Kiki their respective belts and attire-changing watch to her, Kiki then used her attire-changing watch change into her purplish black dress attire and then the heroes proceed to hurry along to the Gummi Ship's direction with Tiny and Dingodile leading the way. Suddenly, they spot Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs starting to come into the room they're currently in, not noticing the heroes yet. Then luckily, Tiny and Dingodile points out some nearby cargo box piles and they and the heroes quickly hid themselves behind them on time as Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs came in, meeting up with Preed and Pinstripe)*

Tropy: Did you find them?

Pinstripe: Unfortunately, no, a thousand groveling pardons.

Preed: (Approaching Cortex's gang) We searched every nook and cranny of our hideout, but they are nowhere to be found.

Bulba: Then what's your insignificant point you're making here?

Pinstripe: The point, being, is that we found that your new machine all completely built, yet we still don't have the Tiki Scepter yet.

Komodo Joe: (Piping in in agreement) What do we need the Tiki Scepter for again?

Komodo Moe: (Agreeing) Recap that for us.

*(Giving nonchalant "You've got to be kidding me." reactions, the rest of Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs pretending to ponder before they will explain again)*

Preed: (Pretending to ponder) Why, yes, that is a fair point.

Shere Khan: (Pretending to ponder) Indeed.

Cortex: (Pretending to realize at first) But wait. *(Then he shouts at Pinstripe and the Komodo Brothers)* WE NEED THE TIKI SCEPTER TO FREE UKA-UKA SO WE CAN RECRUIT HIM FOR WORLD DOMINATION FOR RICHES!!!!

Ruggedo: (Shouting in agreement) STARTING WITH AGRABAH!!!!

*(Seeing Pinstripe and the Komodo Brothers looking hesitant in a sheepish, timid, and embarrassed way from their shouting, Ruggedo and Cortex got sarcastic)*

Ruggedo: (Sarcastically) Aw, did we hurt your feelings?

Cortex: (Sarcastically) From our shouting?

Ruggedo and Cortex: (Seriously) Good!

*(Then Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs approach a nearby giant curtain area, changing the subject)*

Ruggedo: Now, this is part of our plot.

Ripper: (Excitedly) Ooh, ooh! Is it a giant bomb we can drop?!

Ruggedo: No, Kanga-Psycho!

*(Then he and Cortex's groups pulled the curtain aside, revealing a giant Tiki-themed machine gun cannon, surprising Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs and even the hidden heroes)*

Ruggedo: This is our Tiki Gun Cannon!

*(Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs got amazed)*

Cortex: (Casually pats part of the Tiki Gun Cannon) Lovely, isn't it?

Koala: What's with that Tiki Gun Cannon anyway?

Cortex: Why, it's simple, Koala.

*(He and Ruggedo proceeded to rummage through a crate for something)*

Ruggedo: It's got to be here somewhere....

*(At their hiding spot, the heroes spot the way out, right at the other side of the room past the villains. Noticing some thieves working for Ruggedo's gang and even some of Cortex's gang's scientists approaching them, the heroes got an idea. Then immediately, the said thieves and scientists noticed the heroes as soon as the heroes got their attention on purpose)*

Heroes: (Whispering) Psst!

*(The scientists and thieves got shocked upon noticing and were about to shout to Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs when the heroes quickly grabbed them and quieted them, stealing their outfits and then, with Crash, Sombra, and Gene's magic, disguising themselves as those thieves and scientists, while the real thieves and scientists they stripped their clothes from are not only tied up and gagged, but also only in their boxers, and for the subdued scientists' case, their eye goggles. With Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs, Ruggedo and Cortex found the same blueprint the heroes found in the last episode and showed it off to their gangs)*

Cortex: When we get the Tiki Scepter, we're gonna use its power to break Uka-Uka out of his temple prison, which is....

*(Then he picks up a nearby knife and stabs it on a particular spot on a map laying on a nearby table)*

Cortex: Smackdab right here.

Ruggedo: That is when we will free him with the Tiki Scepter.

*(Realizing in shock upon finishing getting their disguises on, the heroes now know that the hideout itself is exactly next door to the very same temple Uka-Uka is imprisoned in, and then they got determined)*

Ash: (Whispering) Not on our watch.

Sombra: (Whispering in agreement) Over our dead bodies.

*(Then the heroes proceeded to start sneaking towards the other door as Ruggedo and Cortex continued explaining away, making the heroes pay attention as they sneak by)*

Ruggedo: And with Uka-Uka's powers' help, we can then activate the Tiki Gun Cannon and blast away any meddlers that will try to stop us.

Cortex: (Pulling the knife off the map and putting it away) And with them out of the way, we shall rule and be rich!

*(Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs cheered a bit. Then Dijon and the Komodo Brothers approached Ruggedo and Cortex's groups)*

Komodo Moe: So, basically, we'll threaten to blast Agrabah into surrendering their riches?

Dijon: Like a stickup?

Komodo Joe: Or any other typical robbery?

Ruggedo and Cortex's groups: Exactly!

Komodo Joe: (While he, Dijon, and Komodo Moe laid their hands on the stand Ruggedo and Cortex's groups are standing on) And that means telling them, "Surrender the gold, or be blasted, uh, bold?"

Dijon: With Uka-Uka's help, that is?

Komodo Moe: Is it?

*(Ruggedo walks over Dijon and the Komodo Brothers' hands, hurting them a bit as they yelped a bit)*

Ruggedo: What's it to ya?!

Negaduck: Why else are we bandits?!

Preed: The kind that show no mercy?!

Bulba: (Activating his handcannons from his robotic hands) Is it that obvious?!

Makuramon: (Agreeing) So again, what's it to ya from them?!

*(Then Bulba blasted at a nearby furnace, burning up a light a'la a spotlight. Then he, Cortex's group, and the rest of Ruggedo's group ran up the stairs to the furnace opening that Bulba fired in as Bulba changed his robotic hands back to normal and slammed the furnace grate door closed and then they begin singing)*

Ruggedo: **We are thieves**

Cortex: **We are thieves**

*(Then Ruggedo and Cortex's groups threw their own scimitars at a pulley rope holding a basket which N. Brio and N. Gin are in, making them panic a bit as the basket landed on a trampoline. Then the scimitars landed bladepoint on the ground in front of the still disguised heroes, startling them a bit before they resumed sneaking by)*

Negaduck: **Suave and dashing**

N. Gin: **Sabers flashing**

Preed: **Bodies crashing**

N. Brio: **Molars gnashing**

*(Then Ruggedo and Cortex's groups ran up the top of the Tiki Gun Cannon)*

Ruggedo: **What a pleasure**

Negaduck: **Seeking treasure**

Cortex: **All the stealing**

Preed: **And concealing**

N. Brio: **And the keeling**

N. Gin: **What a feeling**

*(They chuckle evilly a bit and then grabbing onto the pulley's ropeline, swung around)*

Ruggedo and Cortex's groups: **Take the world by thunder**

*(Then their henchmen joined in the singing)*

Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs: **Thunder**

Ruggedo and Cortex's groups: **It is so wonderful to plunder**

Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs: **Plunder**

Negaduck: **When a village needs a pillage**

*(Then they landed next to Cortex's mutant goons)*

Cortex: **And my pockets need a fillage**

Tropy: (Knocking Cortex's mutants down with his and Cortex's hip bumps) **You know what they're saying?**

Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs: (While Cortex's mutants recovered and rejoined the song happily) **We are thieves**

Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs and disguised heroes: **Desert thieves**

*(As Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs are singing that part, the heroes almost got closer to the other door when the spotlight shined down on them and some of the thieves, causing them, on the next part of the above verse, to play along with the song in order to avoid suspicion and avoid getting caught)*

Komodo Joe: **Just think of all the people we can cheat**

Komodo Moe: **What a great career**

**As a bandit**

*(On "As a bandit," Komodo Moe almost stabbed Koala with his scimitar's blade during their dancing, causing Koala to stop safely without getting stabbed and then gently pushes the scimitar's blade away in annoyance. Then Ruggedo and Cortex's groups landed on a nearby barrel and rolled it along by walking on it)*

Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs and disguised heroes: **It keeps us in the shadows and on the lam**

Ripper: **On the lam**

Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs and disguised heroes: **We are thieves**

**Desert thieves**

Ruggedo's group: (While they and Cortex's group landed on the platform gracefully from the barrel) **We're as good at being bad**

Cortex's group: **As bad can get**

*(Then after Ruggedo tapdanced a bit, he and his and Cortex's groups watched Cortex use the Tiki Gun Cannon's controls to raise up the Tiki Gun Cannon higher)*

Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs and disguised heroes: **And the biggest prize**

**Stands before our eyes**

**To capture captivating Agrabah**

**Agrabah**

**Agrabah**

**Agrabah**

*(The song over immediately while the furnace's flames' spotlight faded away, Baloo suddenly shouts out to Ruggedo and Cortex's groups)*

Baloo: One, more, time!

*(Then Kit got Baloo's attention nervously upon Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs suddenly noticing the disguised heroes in confusion upon hearing Baloo)*

Kit: (Whispering, through gritted teeth) Papa Bear....

Jiji: (Whispering, through gritted teeth) Ix-nay....

*(Realizing, Baloo chuckles nervously a bit while the disguised heroes got calmly nervous)*

Negaduck: (While Cortex deactivates the Tiki Gun Cannon on the controls) Just wait a minute!

Ruggedo: (While he, his group, and Cortex's group approached the disguised heroes at the edge of the platform) Only mine and Cortex's groups get to say, "One more time!"

*(Suddenly, the boxers and goggles-wearing thieves and scientists that the heroes stripped their clothes of rushed up to them, having freed themselves, and pointed them out)*

Subdued thief 1: They're imposters!

Subdued scientist 1: Trying to sneak by!

*(Hearing them, the villains got suspicious. Then Shere Khan and Bulba used their respective claws and built-in machetes to strip the disguises off of the heroes, exposing them finally with only their main attires. Then as soon as that happened, the thieves and scientists grabbed back their clothes and puts them back on, despite some small rips and/or holes from Shere Khan's claws and Bulba's built-in machete cutting and/or poking them, Ruggedo and Cortex's groups gave smug evil smirks as their gangs surrounded the now exposed and shocked heroes, who then raised their hands up like it's a stickup)*

Ruggedo: Well, well, well, looks like we caught a bunch of meddlers; Some of them being the street rats.

Don Karnage: (To Baloo, angrily through gritted teeth) Nice going getting us all busted up, you big lummox.

Baloo: (To Don Karnage, indignantly through gritted teeth) I didn't mean it.

Rebecca: (Agreeing through gritted teeth) It just slipped out from him.

*(Then remembering that they can contact Volteer with their SOS, Ash proceeded to tell Serena that through gritted teeth)*

Ash: (To Serena, whispering through gritted teeth) Serena, SOS your father quickly.

*(Getting it, Serena gave a brief nod and while the heroes prepared to arm themselves to fight, Serena managed to secretly activate the silent SOS on her watch to her father. Back at the palace, Volteer's group got the message from the moment they heard some beeping. They read it, and it read, "Found and rescued Serena's group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon, need Volteer's backup." Despite being relieved that Serena's group, Mimi, Palmon, Kari, and Gatomon are found and rescued safely so far, Volteer's group got shocked, and then determined that they nod to Volteer, who nods back, knowing what he must do now. Back at Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs' hideout, Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs are still surrounding the heroes, now ready to fight)*

Ripper: (Excitedly jumping up and down) Get 'em, get 'em, get 'em!

*(Then suddenly, Koala noticed a giant netting hanging above the heroes as the heroes was about to start their fight, and then grabbed a nearby scimitar and cuts the rope holding the netting, causing it to quickly fall on the heroes)*

Koala: All right!

*(Suddenly, Ash and Serena's groups cut the netting, freeing themselves and the heroes, much to Koala and Ripper's surprise and the other villains' annoyance, that Koala dropped the scimitar he held)*

Preed: (To Koala, annoyed) Really?

*(Then Megavolt pulls out an electric smoke grenade and threw it on the ground at the villains, distracting them as it exploded in front of them while he and the heroes successfully make a run for it to the Gummi Ship's direction. With the villains, the grenade's explosion and electric smoke wore off and then the villains ran after them. After dodging the booby traps, with some of the thieves, Nomes, and scientists getting caught in the non-deadly ones and/or getting pinned to the walls by some of the traps' blades by their clothing, the heroes almost made to the Gummi Ship, nearing their successful escape when suddenly....)*

Ruggedo: (Jumping in front of them) Not so fast!

*(Then he stomps on the ground, causing a huge tremor that cracks part of the ground where he stomped and where the heroes stood, knocking the heroes off of their feet. As the heroes recovered, Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs rushed up to them and grabbed them)*

Bushroot: (Angrily indignant while struggling) Hey, hey, hey! Take it easy!

Serena's group: (Angrily struggling) Let go of us!

*(Suddenly, Molly, after struggling angrily, stopped struggling in realization suddenly and then pulls out her Lucy doll)*

Molly: Wait!

*(Hearing her, everyone stopped)*

Makuramon: (Sneeringly) What, you gonna beg and cry for mercy like the brat you are?

Molly: (Holding out her Lucy doll) No, better.

*(Getting what Molly is planning, the heroes played along)*

Liquidator: We'd like to negotiate a trade.

Makuramon: (Derisively) Sorry, but we don't take dollies.

*(But Ruggedo and Cortex's groups, on the other hand, had a feeling about something else involving the Lucy doll)*

Ruggedo and Cortex's groups: (To their gangs, ushering them) Wait.

Cortex: (To Molly) Are you hiding something in that doll?

Molly: Yep!

Aku-Aku: (Nods) The Tiki Scepter is in there.

*(Interested upon hearing that, Ruggedo, Cortex, and Makuramon rushed up to Molly excitedly)*

Ruggedo, Cortex, and Makuramon: (Eagerly) Really?!

Ruggedo: Give it, give it, give it!

Molly: If you let me go, I'll get it out.

*(Realizing she has a point since they are, after all, holding her, Rilla and Oxide, the ones holding Molly, released her and then Molly unzipped the back of her Lucy doll and pulls out the fake Tiki Scepter, which the villains don't know is the fake one. Preed, Bulba, Tropy, and Shere Khan, on the other hand, are suspicious, that they noticed something fishy about it)*

Molly: (Holds out the fake Tiki Scepter to Ruggedo and Cortex's groups) Here you go, guys.

Ash: It's all yours.

Pikachu: (Happily agreeing) Pika pika chu.

Neptunia: Just like you wanted.

Ruggedo, Cortex, and Makuramon: (Impressed) Well!

Ruggedo: (Accepting the fake Tiki Scepter) Thank you.

Cortex: And in return, what shall we do for you?

Ash: We'd recommend that you let us all go free.

Fidget: (Nods) Like your ransom note said.

*(While Ash and Fidget said those lines, Preed, Bulba, Tropy, and Shere Khan noticed something from Bulba scanning the fake Tiki Scepter in Ruggedo's hands and then they eyed the heroes' Gummi Ship and after Bulba used his scanner again to scan it, realized what's up. Then they called out to everyone)*

Preed, Bulba, Tropy, and Shere Khan: Hold on!

*(Hearing the four, everyone turned)*

Tropy: I think the four of us figured this out.

*(Then he, Preed, Bulba, and Shere Khan approached the Gummi Ship's trunk area and Bulba opens it, revealing, to the heroes' shock and the villains' surprise, the real Tiki Scepter. Then Preed grabs it and approached the rest of Ruggedo and Cortex's groups with it)*

Preed: It appears they were trying to trick us.

Bulba: (Points at his scanner on his helmeted part of his head) I was able to scan through their sham.

*(Then the rest of the villains chuckled evilly a bit as the heroes remained shocked, but in a calm way)*

Ruggedo: (Chuckles evilly a bit, dropping the fake Tiki Scepter on the ground and crushing it with his right foot) Tried to scam us, eh?

Cortex: Nice try.

Makuramon: (Pulling his sword out) But no cigar.

*(Suddenly, Tiny and Dingodile shouted out)*

Tiny and Dingodile: Wait!

*(Their attention caught, they turned to the two as four of the thieves released Tiny and Dingodile. Then Tiny and Dingodile pulled their respective trident and flamethrower nozzle out and aimed it at the heroes, much to the heroes' shock and confusion)*

Dingodile: Leave these fools up to us.

Tiny: Tiny and Dingodile will finish them.

Heroes: (Shocked) What?!

Don Karnage: (Angrily) I knew you were no goody two-shoed!

*(Impressed, the villains then released the heroes and then Tiny and Dingodile ushered the cornered heroes to the edge of the dock, aiming their weapons at them, which is a little close to the Gummi Ship)*

Matt: You backstabbing double-crossers!

Sora: We should've known better than to trust you!

Tai: Lying jerks!

*(Tiny and Dingodile approached the heroes in a seemingly menacing way with their weapons, and as soon as they got close to them while still aiming their weapons at the heroes, Tiny and Dingodile spoke up in a sneering way, and to the heroes' secret surprise, the two actually winked at them and ushered them to jump secretly)*

Tiny: (Pretending to be sneeringly, secretly winking at the heroes and secretly gesturing them to jump) Well, tough!

Dingodile: (Pretending to be sneeringly, secretly winking at the heroes, secretly gesturing them to jump, and secretly handing a water-proof badge to Megavolt) Nothing comes without a price for life!

*(Finally realizing that Tiny and Dingodile are actually pretending to betray them to help them escape, the heroes, while Megavolt secretly accepted the water-proof badge and putting it on his belt, immediately played along, getting ready to jump)*

Heroes: Well...!

Ash: Let's just say.... Nothing comes without a jump for life!

*(Then the heroes jumped into the water, much to the villains' shock while Tiny and Dingodile stayed put and pretending to be shocked as the villains. Then the heroes broke the surface and quickly swam to the Gummi Ship. Then while Tiny pretended to scream a bit in fury, Dingodile shot some fireballs from his flamethrower at the heroes, pretending to miss them while missing them on purpose. Even the villains joined in on shooting at the heroes, but thankfully missed. Then the heroes reached the Gummi Ship doors)*

Sabrina: Bye, suckers!

*(Then the heroes quickly boarded the Gummi Ship and then after quickly closing the doors, they got ready to take off with Coco and Launchpad piloting it when suddenly, Koala, Shere Khan, and Bulba shot some grappling hooks onto the Gummi Ship, holding it down to stop them from escaping, much to Tiny and Dingodile's secret concern)*

Shere Khan: Nowhere to escape.

*(Suddenly, a familiar electric blast struck the grappling hooks, breaking them and freeing the Gummi Ship and causing its force to knock down the villains. It was Volteer, in his dragon form, coming to the heroes' aid. Noticing that, the heroes got happy while Tiny and Dingodile secretly got happy at this)*

Serena's group: Father! (Uncle Volteer!)

Serena: You made it!

*(Then Volteer assisted the Gummi Ship in flying out the cave. Then Tiny and Dingodile chased after them alone)*

Dingodile: (To the villains) We'll stop them!

Tiny: (Agreeing) Count on Tiny and Dingodile!

*(Then the two rushed up the cliffside path after Volteer and the heroes and upon seeing each other as Volteer and the heroes made their getaway, Tiny and Dingodile secretly gave a thumb's up to Volteer and the heroes, and Volteer, who got it by now, and the heroes nods in return, knowing that Tiny and Dingodile are officially on their side for good. Then as Volteer and the heroes escaped, Tiny and Dingodile proceeded to pretend to try and shoot at them, but then purposely missed their shot from Tiny's trident blast and Dingodile's fireball blast from his flamethrower, hitting a nearby wall instead. Then successfully fooling the villains, Tiny and Dingodile pretended to shout in anger at the heroes)*

Dingodile: YOU EGGSUCKERS MAY HAVE GOTTEN AWAY THIS TIME!!!!

Tiny: BUT WE'LL GET YOU!!!!

*(Then the villains caught up with the two, and then congratulated Tiny and Dingodile for "Defecting back to their side")*

Preed: Indeed, they may have gotten away.

N. Brio: And you failed to recapture them.

Makuramon: You two are, regardless, back in our gang again.

Cortex: And to think you were betraying us.

Ruggedo: When in reality....

Dijon: (Cutting him off) You were tricking them.

*(The villains, except Tiny and Dingodile, whose backs are still turned to the villains staring out at the distance, and Ripper, who giggles crazily a bit in agreement with Dijon, dagger glared at Dijon)*

Ruggedo: Did I give you permission to finish my sentence, Dijon?!

Dijon: (Realizing sheepishly and nervously, groveling at Ruggedo's feet) Oh, no, no, no, no, Master!

*(Then Koala picks Dijon up by his vest, holding him up like a ragdoll, while the villains turned to Tiny and Dingodile)*

Bulba: Well, let's get to work on freeing Uka-Uka.

*(Tiny and Dingodile finally turned to them, pretending to be submissive and happy)*

Tiny: Right!

Dingodile: Let's go set him free!

*(Then while the villains walked off with the real Tiki Scepter in tow to the temple, Tiny and Dingodile then secretly and silently contacted the heroes on what's going on now as they followed the villains. In the Gummi Ship with Volteer flying with them, the heroes got the message and got determined with Volteer)*

Volteer: Those barbarians!

Aku-Aku: We need to hurry and stop them!

*(Then Volteer and the heroes quickly turned around and proceeded to fly back to the temple's direction. At the foot of the temple as sunset finally arrived, Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs, Tiny, and Dingodile, after Koala puts Dijon down, arrived and then Ruggedo and Cortex, eagerly excited with greed, got ready to place the Tiki Scepter in the temple's lock mechanism sitting nearby, both chuckling evilly a bit, feeling eager and greedy. As we cut between the heroes and the villains with the heroes hurrying to the temple, Ruggedo and Cortex, unfortunately, sets up the Tiki Scepter in the mechanism, and then with one push of a nearby button on the mechanism, Cortex activates the Tiki Scepter's power. Then as the Tiki Scepter powers up its upcoming blast towards the temple, Ruggedo and Cortex then proceeded to laugh evilly and crazily a bit with power. Then the Tiki Scepter blasted its beam at the temple with a powerful blast. With Volteer and the heroes, they stopped in shock and concern upon seeing this and Crash's group and Aku-Aku's shock and concern turned into grim realization and concern)*

Crash's group: No, we failed....

Aku-Aku: (To Coco and Launchpad, enunciating) I think, we need, to go now.

Mad Dog: No, I say we fight him!

Aku-Aku: (To Mad Dog) You don't understand! You have no idea how powerful and dangerous Uka-Uka could be, especially once he's freed.

Coco: Which is why we need to retreat for now.

Crash, Sombra, Gene, and Crunch: Yeah. (Yes.)

Don Karnage: (Grimly agreeing) They have a point of excellence.

Dumptruck: (Grimly agreeing) And like the palace guard duty rules say; If the going gets too tough, retreat with dignity.

Don Karnage: (Nods in grim surprise) Yes, and at least Dumptruck, out of all my clueless guards such as yourself, Mad Dog, remembers that rule.

*(Gibber grunts a bit in agreement. Realizing Aku-Aku and Crash's group are right along with Don Karnage's group, Volteer and the heroes, having no other choice, ended up leaving, going back to Agrabah instead, for they now know they have no idea how powerful and dangerous Uka-Uka is like Aku-Aku and Crash's group just said. Back at the temple, the blast ended with a huge tremor-like explosion on the temple, disintegrating the Tiki Scepter with it and knocking Tiny, Dingodile, and the villains down from the impactful force. Then silence descends, then, another tremor slowly grew powerful at the temple as Tiny, Dingodile, and the villains sat up in recovery, with the villains smirking evilly and Tiny and Dingodile secretly watching in concern. Then the tremor ends with the temple's top exploding, destroying the seal itself, and then a powerful magic beam of light shot out from the top of the temple's broken seal and lands right near the mechanism. Then, as nighttime slowly arrived finally, the magic light barrier slowly died down, and emerging from it, giving a calm dark evil ominous chuckle, is none other than....)*

Cortex: At last.

Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs, Tiny, and Dingodile: (With Tiny and Dingodile being the only ones secretly concerned) Uka-Uka.

*(After his dark evil chuckle and the magic light barrier's fading away ended, Uka-Uka opened his eyes, giving a wicked evil smirk, glad to be freed finally as he looked at himself)*

Uka-Uka: Finally freed at last.

*(Then he looked around with a cruel evil smirk)*

Uka-Uka: Now, who has set me free from my ten thousand year prison?

*(Ruggedo and Cortex's groups, all excited while Preed is more calmly ecstatic, approached him and got his attention)*

Ruggedo and Cortex's group: (Bowing to Uka-Uka) We freed you.

*(Noticing them, Uka-Uka gave a calm cold and flat "You're the ones who freed me? Really?" look)*

Uka-Uka: You have got to be kidding me. *You* set me free?

Ruggedo and Cortex's groups: (Still bowing to him) Yep! (Yes.)

Dijon: (Happily clueless) No thank yous are necessary.

*(A short pause, then Uka-Uka smirked evilly in a somewhat way to express gratitude)*

Uka-Uka: Excellent.

*(Then Ruggedo and Cortex's group sat up to Uka-Uka, still kneeling in respect to him while the rest of the villains and a secretly reluctant Tiny and Dingodile joined in in kneeling in respect to him)*

Negaduck: You must be thinking; What has transpired since you've been sealed, right?

*(Uka-Uka, upon hearing Negaduck ask such a question like that, gave a flat look at first, then....)*

Uka-Uka: (Smirking evilly at first, chuckles evilly a bit) Actually, despite that I was sealed away.... *(Slowly changes his evil smirking attitude to an angry one)* I actually sensed what has been happening for the past ten thousand years, and noticed HOW TOO PEACEFUL IT HAS BECOME!!!!

*(As soon as Uka-Uka shouted that, Dijon, Ripper, the Komodo Brothers, and even Ruggedo, Cortex, and Makuramon groveled to Uka-Uka in fear and nervousness, confused on why Uka-Uka is angry)*

Dijon: (Stuttering nervously) W-W-Want something from me to cheer you up?

*(Uka-Uka gave a calm aghast glare at such a question Dijon just asked, a reaction that reads, "Seriously?", then he spoke up in sarcasm and tranquil anger at first)*

Uka-Uka: (In tranquil anger, sarcastically at first) Oh, of course. *(Seriously, still in tranquil anger)* None have dared to release me, the great Uka-Uka even once, but you, Ruggedo and Cortex's gang, you have failed against your enemies twice, or three times for Ruggedo's gang's case!

Dijon: (Nervously points at himself, Shere Khan and Negaduck) And unfortunately, five times for me, Shere Khan and Negaduckie's case.

Shere Khan: (Nods) Exactly!

Negaduck: (Agreeing in annoyance) Thank you for pointing it out. *(To Dijon, angrily)* And how many times do I have to tell you, it's...!

Uka-Uka: (Cutting him off flatly) I know, "Negaduck," not "Negaduckie."

*(Suddenly surprised that Uka-Uka knows their names without introducing themselves and how Uka-Uka even knows what Negaduck was gonna say, the villains asked away in confusion)*

Negaduck: (Surprised in suspicion) How did you know about me?

Bulba: (Surprised in suspicion and agreement) And how did you know how many times we failed to defeat the enemy and steal riches?

Uka-Uka: I sensed it within you just now, that's what. And I have sensed everything from all of you from the moment I was freed and then met all of you.

*(Hearing Uka-Uka say that, Tiny and Dingodile continued their fake loyalty to the villains charade, hoping Uka-Uka will not find out, and thankfully, he fell for that charade, much to their relief as Uka-Uka continued his conversation with Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs)*

Uka-Uka: And my guess; You need my help to activate the newly built Tiki Gun Cannon to invade the world for its riches, starting with Agrabah, correct?

*(Impressed, Ruggedo and Cortex's gangs, with Tiny and Dingodile playing along since they're both good guys now, agreed)*

Komodo Brothers: You're good.

Uka-Uka: (Scoffs nonchalantly) Good at sensing you, yes. But being good, no way. And what I especially sensed is that some of your enemies happen to be a group of street rat boys and their Agrabah Princess lovers.

Cortex: (Angrily agreeing) Yes, Great Uka-Uka! Those were those infernal street rats and princesses!

Preed: (Angrily agreeing) Your typical "The Princesses and the Street Rats" fairy tale!

Negaduck: (Angrily agreeing) And not to mention me, Shere Khan, and Dijon's traitorous ex-partners among them!

Uka-Uka: (Becoming agitated) From what I just sensed. *(Slowly losing his temper)* Yet, you tried to simply destroy them, which I hoped deep within my temple prison from also sensing all of you, but, you lost many times to them, you even lost your chance to get *and* steal riches, *(Finally screams at them in fury, scaring the bejeepers out of the non-serious villains)* AND AS FOR ME, *I* HAVE LOST *MY* PATIENCE ON *YOU* MEDIOCRE FOOLS WITH YOUR REPEATED FAILURES!!!!

*(Then the non-serious villains groveled in fear and respect to Uka-Uka, stuttering a bit in a panic. Noticing that, Uka-Uka calms down and got sneering at them)*

Uka-Uka: (Sneeringly with an evil smirk) Aw, did I frighten you? *(Seriously and angry again)* Good!

Cortex: (Nervously) B-But, you will at least help us like you sensed that we wanted, right?

*(After contemplating, Uka-Uka smirked evilly, giving a nod)*

Uka-Uka: (Nods) Since you freed me, I am feeling generous. So, yes. I shall help you. And this time, I will see to it that all of you *and* myself will not fail again.

*(He chuckles evilly a bit with evil toothy smirk before we crossfade to black, showing only his eyes and teeth before, they too, crossfaded to black)*

To be concluded....
