Final Battle/Aftermath (Sonicladdin 2 (Version 1) Version)

*(In the throne room, Vanitas' group, back in their real forms, sat in the throne while Merlock, Dijon, Splatter Phoenix, and the thieves are with them with the black lamp)*

Vanitas: It has been done.

Don Karnage: Our revenge has been complete.

Negaduck: There's only one thing left to complete.

Merlock: (Hopefully) My wish?

Vanitas and Don Karnage: (Smirking evilly) Yes. Your wish.

Dijon: I say we celebrate first!

Smart Guy: (Voice-over, in a deep voice) Couldn't agree with you more.

*(They turned and saw Doom and his guards there, disguised as delivery boys carrying boxes of party supplies)*

Merlock: How ironic.

*(Then they unpacked the party supplies. Out on the streets of Agrabah, Meowth's group are walking along sadly, preparing to leave. Megavolt, on the other hand, isn’t sad, just concerned. He stopped and glanced back at the direction of the palace, and then looked back at the others. Then he became agitated, groaned in annoyance, and ran in front the others, making them stop)*

Megavolt: I can’t take it anymore!

*(Meowth's group got confused)*

Jessie: (Confused) What can’t you take?

Megavolt: We have to go back and help our friends!

*(While Meowth glanced back and began contemplating along with James, Bushroot, Quackerjack, Liquidator, and Jessie refused)*

Bushroot: What?!

Jessie: What’re you, nuts?

Liquidator: We can't!

Quackerjack: We ain’t going back to them! Period! End of story!

*(They tried to walk away, but Megavolt stopped them again)*

Megavolt: But they forgave us, right?!

Jessie: Yes, but did you not recall how angry Sonic's group were before that?!

Megavolt: (To Jessie) I don’t care about that! They need us! *(To Meowth's group)* You should realize that now!

*(Suddenly, they noticed a couple looking around in concern for something)*

Man: Aziz?!

Woman: Aziz, where are you?!

*(They noticed Meowth's group and went up to them hopefully)*

Woman: Sirs, ma'am, we're looking for our son, Aziz.

Man: Have you seen him?

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

Megavolt: No we haven't.

Jessie: If you excuse....

Man: Wait! You don't understand.

Megavolt: (To Meowth's group) Listen to what they have to say first.

Woman: My husband and I just got in a fight and then wrongfully pinned the blame on our son angrily. And when we went up to this room later to apologize....

*(She calmly breaks down crying)*

Man: He had already ran away.

*(Feeling calmly sorry for them along with Megavolt, Meowth's group declined politely)*

Bushroot: I wish we could help, but we can't do anything right.

Megavolt: (Shocked) What?!

*(The woman stopped crying and reassured him)*

Woman: (Sniffles) It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. Our son is missing, and we really need your help.

*(A short pause after Megavolt gave them a flat look, Meowth's group gave in)*

Meowth's group: Alright.

James: We'll look for you.

Couple: (Relieved) Thank you!

*(Then Meowth's group ran off to begin their search while the couple ran the other way. Once in another alleyway, Meowth's group heard soft calm crying in a corner and looked. They see a little boy sitting there, crying silently)*

Megavolt: Excuse us?

*(The boy looks up and got scared at first)*

James: Hey, hey. It's okay.

Bushroot: Is something the matter?

*(The boy doesn't respond. Then, with Meowth's group, Megavolt got why)*

Megavolt: (Realizing) Oh, the whole "Don't talk to strangers" thing, right?

Boy: (Nods tearfully) Yeah.

Megavolt: Well, don't consider us strangers anymore.

Liquidator: We're somewhat here to help.

Boy: (Sniffles) You are?

Liquidator: (Nods) Yeah.

Quackerjack: Now, what's troubling you?

Boy: (Tearing up) I ran away from home because my parents hate me. Epsecially since they just had their fight.

*(Then the boy breaks down crying. Megavolt, unaware with Meowth's group that he just said that at first, comforted him)*

Megavolt: (Soothingly) Hey, hey. No need to....

*(He and Meowth's group did a double take and realized)*

Megavolt: Wait a minute!

Jessie: You're Aziz, aren't you?

*(The boy, now revealed to be Aziz, got confused as he slowly stopped crying)*

Aziz: How did you...?

Jessie: Your parents are looking for you.

Meowth: They're worried sick.

Aziz: (Slowly hopeful) They are?

Meowth: Yeah!

Megavolt: Come on, let's go find them.

*(He holds his hand out to Aziz. The boy, after contemplating while looking at his hand, took it and they ran out to look for his parents. Then ironically, they bumped into them)*

Aziz: Mom, Dad!

Couple: Aziz!

*(They group hugged happily in happy tears)*

Woman: Oh, my baby! We're so sorry for snapping at you.

Man: And we promise that we'll never fight again.

Aziz: I'm glad. I love you.

*(They hugged some more. Seeing this, Meowth's group smiled softly, happy to see them reunited. Then as they said these lines next, they became lost in thought as their smiles faded away, as if they're, except Megavolt, realizing something)*

Quackerjack, Bushroot, and Liquidator: (Whispering) I guess it felt good to help others.

Team Rocket: (Whispering) And to think back, we thought we couldn't do anything right....

*(Then they realized and smiled)*

Meowth: Meowzie...! Even Sonic and the others....

*(Noticing their realization, Megavolt was about to ask away)*

Megavolt: I guess you now understand...?

*(Then the couple and Aziz ended their hug and turned to Meowth's group in gratitude)*

Aziz: Thank you, Misters and ma'am.

Man: You were a great help.

Woman: Indeed.

Bushroot: (Shrugs) It was nothing to it.

Liquidator: Glad we could be of help.

*(Then with that, the couple and Aziz left for home. Then behind Meowth's group, Meowzie and Aerith arrived, and then they spoke, getting their attention)*

Aerith: We saw the whole thing, guys.

Meowzie: You did good.

*(Meowth's group noticed them and got relieved)*

Megavolt: Oh, hey guys!

Meowth: Listen...!

Meowzie: Don't say no more.

Aerith: What you did was wonderful, but you mustn't leave us.

Meowzie: And besides, the princesses actually know what it's like to have love like you and I have. It's because they learn to forgive and forget because of honesty and being who you are on the inside.

Meowth: That's great and all, but...!

*(Meowzie and Aerith signals him to stop, and then begins singing)*

Aerith: **These are three boys**

**Who think with their hearts**

**Their hearts are not always wise**

**These are three boys**

**Who stumble and fall**

**But these are three boys who tries**

Meowzie: **These are three boys**

**You'll forgive and forgive**

**And help and protect**

**As long as you live**

Aerith and Meowzie: **They will not always say**

**What you would have them say**

**But now and then**

**They'll say something wonderful**

Aerith: **The thoughtless things they'll do**

**Will hurt and worry you**

**Then all at once**

**They'll do something wonderful**

Meowzie: **They have a thousand dreams**

**That won't come true**

**You know that they believe in them**

**And that's enough for you**

**You'll always go along**

Aerith: **Defend them when they're wrong**

Aerith and Meowzie: **And tell them when they're strong**

**They are wonderful**

**They'll always need our loyalty**

**And so they'll get our loyalty**

**Three boys who need our loyalty**

**Can be wonderful**

*(The song over, Meowth's group nods and then explained away)*

Meowth: Thanks, you two.

Bushroot: And we're just trying to tell you; We already changed our minds upon helping that family.

Aerith and Meowzie: (Realizing) Oh!

Aerith: Glad you changed your mind.

Meowzie: I guess it was worth looking for you.

*(Then they changed the subject)*

Jessie: Anyway, shall we go help our friends?

Meowth: For Agrabah?

Aerith and Meowzie: (Nods) Yes.

*(Then they head back to the palace. Back in the throne room, Merlock and Don Karnage looked excited as the villains just finished their celebration and Doom and his weasel guards have left)*

Merlock: Now, about my third wish....

Negaduck: (Smirks evilly) But why waste your third wish over silly things?

Don Karnage: You want Blackbeard's treasure, right? You can have it.

*(Vanitas and Don Karnage group raised their hands and soon the sunken ship appeared with gold pouring out of it. Merlock's gang smiled happily and runs around the ship greedily and happily, and on happily, like children on Christmas morning)*

Thief 1: My, what a lot of gold!

Dijon: We're happy already!

*(Merlock passed the ship, unaware that the ornament on the front of it came to life and tries to grab the black lamp. But he missed and snapped its "Fingers." It disappeared. The ornament is actually Vector signaling Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles that he didn't get it)*

Dijon: Can Merlock and I have more stuff?

*(Vanitas, Negaduck, Don Karnage, and Splatter Phoenix rolled their eyes and Vanitas and Don Karnage made a red gem on a pedestal appear)*

Merlock: That is what I always wanted!

*(Merlock puts the black lamp on the throne and runs to the gem, picking it up)*

Merlock: IT'S INCREDIBLE!!

Dijon: MORE!!

Merlock and Dijon: WE DEMAND MORE!!

Splatter Phoenix: Will you both simmer down?!

*(Vanitas' group are getting impatient but Vanitas and Don Karnage made more treasure chests appeared in hope to please the two. As this happened, Vector stretched his arm around the room dodging any falling treasures. His arm appears at the throne and he is about to grab at the black lamp. However a golden statue lands on his hand giving the Mobian crocodile the urge to scream. His family and Marahute grabbed his mouth and covered it in the nick of time. Cloud, Darkwing, and Launchpad looked around surprised)*

Launchpad: (Whispering) My word!

*(A treasure chest is about to land on Launchpad, but Darkwing, Cloud, and Sally pulled him out of the way in time. Then they and the other heroes see Meowzie, Aerith, and Meowth's group arrive and they nod with determined smiles. Then they gestured to Meowth's group to go hide out in the garden in case for a sneak attack, to which they understood and left. Even Doom and his weasel guards, out of their disguises, ran out as well to await their cue to arrest any surviving villains. With the villains, Don Karnage spoke up after the treasure binge is done)*

Don Karnage: (Impatiently) Well, you should have everything you want by now.

Vanitas: It's time you owe us.

Merlock: (Snapping out of it) What? Oh yes.

*(Merlock runs to the throne. Chip was there about to grab the black lamp until they saw the sorcerer wolf coming, forcing him to hide. Merlock picks the black lamp up and held it over his head)*

Merlock: For my final wish, I wish for Vanitas and Don Karnage group to be...!

*(The heroes gasped in horror, believing it will be over. But then Merlock and Dijon got suspicious)*

Merlock: Wait a minute.

Dijon: (To Vanitas' group) How do Merlock and I know we could trust you not to make these things disappeared once he lets you go for good?

*(Vanitas' group and even Splatter Phoenix, annoyed, got in Merlock and Dijon's faces)*

Vanitas: I believe you should ask how can you stay alive if you don't?!

*(Vanitas' group and Splatter Phoenix stormed off making Merlock, Dijon, and their thieves befuddled)*

Merlock: Now wait! You told us that genies can't kill people!

Dijon: He's right.

Thief 2: And since when did Splatter Phoenix suddenly support *you* guys instead of Merlock and Dijon?!

Negaduck: Because she's my wife, fool!

Splatter Phoenix: That's right!

*(A noise is heard and they turned, looking shocked)*

Vanitas' group and Splatter Phoenix: What?!

*(Merlock's gang turned and saw Chip and Cheese trying to grab the black lamp away from Merlock. He tries to hold onto the black lamp)*

Merlock: No! Keep your hands away from this lamp!

Dijon: Yeah! Finder's keepers, loser's weepers, little guys!

Chip: Sonic, guys! A little help, please!

Cheese: (Desperately agreeing) Chao, chao!

Sonic's group: (Running in) Got it!

*(Sonic's group grabbed onto the black lamp trying to help, getting into a tug-o'-war with Merlock and Dijon)*

Merlock: Let go of it!

*(Vanitas' group and Splatter Phoenix, by this time, looked shocked as they see Sonic's group still alive)*

Vanitas' group: You're still alive, boys?!

Splatter Phoenix: Impossible!

*(Vanitas fires an energy blast, not caring that Merlock, Dijon, and their gang are in the line of fire. They, along with Sonic's group, Chip, and Cheese, got blasted and got sent onto the balcony outside. The floor started cracking and it collapsed sending the floor to the ground. Vector appeared as a giant armchair catching Sonic's group in the seat and Chip and Cheese on the armrest right on time)*

Tails: Good catch, Vector!

*(Marahute flew Sally and Darkwing's groups down while the other heroes took shelter with Doom and the weasel guards)*

Steelbeak: Where's the black lamp?

Toby: (Pointing) There it is!

Darkwing: After it!

*(The black lamp is hanging on a tree branch. Merlock tried to grab the black lamp but only caused it to fall to the ground. Just when the villains grabbed it, the heroes flew after them. Morgana and Meowzie then blasted a blast at Merlock's gang, knocking them out. They charge after the black lamp when the ground suddenly breaks open. Vanitas and Don Karnage appeared in their genie forms with Negaduck, laughing sinisterly, blowing everyone away knocking them further from the black lamp. Even Splatter Phoenix appeared, ready to fight)*

Splatter Phoenix: Trying to get it? Too bad!

*(Sally and Darkwing's groups snuck by them and tried to go for the black lamp, but they didn't go unnoticed)*

Vanitas: (Seeing Sally and Darkwing's groups) Don't even try anything, princesses and guards!

*(Vanitas, Don Karnage, and even Splatter Phoenix fired a blast at Sally and Darkwing's groups, but missed. Suddenly, Sonic's group zipped by, grabbing the black lamp)*

Negaduck: (Outraged) This foolish game is over!

*(Vanitas and Don Karnage made two glowing fireballs linked together appear and threw it at the group. But luckily, they dodged and landed on the ground)*

Launchpad: Hurry, guys!

*(Sonic sees that he is almost close to the black lamp and tries to get to it. But suddenly a pillar grew out of the rock and lifted him, his group, and Marahute up. Soon the rest begins to open to let out a bunch of molten lava. A part of the palace fell into the pit of lava while Sonic's group hangs onto the pillar with their lives as they try to go for the black lamp as they passed by the land it's on. But no matter what, the villains kept blasting the pillar making them miss. Sonic's group does not have that much time to hold on. Suddenly, a vine shot out and saved Sonic's group in the nick of time by catching them. It was Bushroot, and he and Meowth's group immediately helped Sonic's group out of the pit. Seeing this, Vanitas' groups and Splatter Phoenix got angry)*

Vanitas' group: TRAITORS!!

Splatter Phoenix: You little dorks!

*(Meowth's group got determined as they helped Sonic's group to the black lamp, with Meowth grabbing it)*

Fearsome Four: We were traitors!

Team Rocket: We were dorks!

Meowth: But we're not any of those anymore!

*(Then the heroes zipped around the villains thanks to Marahute, seemingly winning at first, knocking Negaduck out, but then, Splatter Phoenix sees Meowzie and jumps at her. Noticing, Meowth, still holding the black lamp, ran to Meowzie's aid)*

Meowth: Leave her alone!

*(Then Vanitas appeared as he offscreen stabbed Meowth, causing him to scream in pain, yet he managed to hold onto the black lamp carefully)*

Heroes: Meowth!

*(Then Vanitas grabbed the black lamp)*

Vanitas: Sorry, but you can't beat us.

*(Then Vector realized something and points it out in determination)*

Vector: Haven't you forgotten the number one rule?! Genies never kill!

Vanitas: Forget that rule! We will finish you off!

Don Karnage: Starting with that stupid traitorous scratching cat Pokemon of yours!

*(Then just he, Vanitas, and Splatter Phoenix prepared to finish Meowth first, Meowzie shouted, making them stop)*

Meowzie: STOP!!

*(They turned)*

Meowzie: You leave me no choice!

*(She removes her medallion and held it over the lava pit, much to Splatter Phoenix's concern)*

Splatter Phoenix: Don't you dare drop it!

Meowzie: Let me heal Meowth first, and then I won't drop this. And then I'll go with you, Splatter Phoenix.

*(The three villains got suspicious while the heroes got concerned)*

Minerva: Meowzie, don't!

Launchpad: You mustn't!

*(Splatter Phoenix approached Meowzie with a scowl)*

Splatter Phoenix: So if Vanitas, Don Karnage, and I let you heal him, then you will cooperate and leave with me, where you'll never be found?

Meowzie: Yes.

*(A short pause, then Vanitas and Don Karnage trapped the heroes, except Meowth and Meowzie, in a barrier)*

Don Karnage: So you won't interfere.

Vanitas: So no tricks.

Splatter Phoenix: (To Meowzie) Now heal him.

*(Meowzie ran up to Meowth and kneeled beside him)*

Meowzie: Meowth!

Meowth: (Weakly) Meowzie, I can't let you...!

Meowzie: It'll be fine.

*(She holds her medallion out to Meowth. Then secretly eyeing the lava pit near them, Meowth got what Meowzie is planning. Then he nods)*

Meowth: (Weakly) Okay....

*(Then he held the medallion with Meowzie and then, to the villains' shock, they threw the medallion in the lava)*

Splatter Phoenix: NO!!

*(Then Vector, Megavolt, Liquidator, and Morgana used all their powers to destroy the barrier, freeing themselves and the heroes and then Sonic's group charged at Vanitas and Don Karnage and Sonic grabbed the black lamp from Vanitas)*

Vanitas and Don Karnage: Our lamp!

*(Then, to Vanitas and Don Karnage's horror, Sonic throws the black lamp into the lava as well, making Vanitas and Don Karnage scream as well)*

Vanitas and Don Karnage: NO!!

Vanitas, Don Karnage, and Splatter Phoenix: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!

*(Vanitas, Don Karnage, and Splatter Phoenix screamed in pain as the medallion and black lamp began to melt. Soon they were gone as the three villains screamed in pain. Seeing the magic Vanitas and Don Karnage casted upon the garden beginning to break, the heroes ran out of the way, with Meowzie carrying Meowth. Meanwhile, Vanitas, Don Karnage, and Splatter Phoenix continued to scream in bigger pain as a bright light appeared. Soon Vanitas and Don Karnage's skeletons disappeared as they screamed more in pain. They stopped and spun around like mad until they exploded. Then Splatter Phoenix was blasted by the light and her melting skin got covered by her clothing as her skin melted into a skeleton. Then her clothes disintegrated as well, revealing her skeleton. It shook a bit until it crumbled into dust. Once the earth is closed up, the grayish pink sky clears up in a flash of light, revealing that sunrise is approaching slowly. Then once all that is done, the heroes then got concerned as they see Meowzie lay Meowth down upon hearing him cough)*

Meowzie: Meowth, stay with me!

Launchpad: Hurry up and heal him!

Darkwing: Quick!

*(Meowzie nods and then quickly sings her incantation, covering the stab wound, which is partially covered by Meowth’s paw-like hands)*

Meowzie: (A little quickly) **Magic, gleam and glow**

**Let your power shine**

**Make the clock reverse**

**Bring back what once was mine**

*(She stopped singing upon seeing her paw-like hands not glowing)*

Meowzie: Why isn’t it working?! I just have to have the power in me! It just has to be!

Meowth: (Weakly) Meowzie….

Meowzie: No, I have to keep trying!

Quackerjack: You have to let her...!

Meowth: (Weakly) Meowzie...!

*(Everyone quiets down finally as they looked on in sadness and concern. Meowth then weakly placed his paw-like hand onto Meowzie’s cheek as she held it gently)*

Meowth: (Weakly) It’s all right…. You were my most important adventure ever besides Sonic and the others…. And I thank you….

*(Meowzie started to tear up)*

Meowzie: (Tearfully) I know! But…!

*(Meowth suddenly closed his eyes slowly and exhaled softly as he went limp)*

Meowzie: Meowth!

Meowth’s group: Meowth!

*(Then his paw-like hand fell to the ground, limp)*

Meowth’s group: (Tearfully concerned) Meowth?

*(Realizing he’s dead, the group got despaired as Meowzie tearfully begged)*

Meowzie: (Crying) No, no! Please! Don’t leave us! Don’t leave me!

*(She laid her head against Meowth’s chest above his stab wound, covered by his other paw-like hand, and cried)*

Meowzie: (Crying) I love you….

*(The heroes teared up, started crying softly and silently, and hung their heads in sadness. Although Doom and his weasel guards just hung their heads in sadness)*

Megavolt: (Crying) You crazy scratching cat Pokemon...!

James: (Crying) Why’d you have to go and just...?!

*(Then, after Meowth’s group sobbed a bit, Meowzie started singing her healing incantation in tears)*

Meowzie: (Crying) **Heal what has been hurt**

**Change the Fates’ design**

**Save what has been lost**

**Bring back what once was mine**

**What once was mine**

*(She cries again as two teardrops plipped onto Meowth’s paw-like hand over the stab wound and then streamed down the paw-like hand onto the stab wound. All was silent with the sun slowly coming up, except for Meowth’s group and Meowzie’s sobbing, then suddenly, a gold light emerged from Meowth’s stab wound, getting everyone’s attention and snapping them out of their grieving. Meowzie was the last to notice and then watched along with the group as the gold light twirled into the form of a golden flower and then entered Meowth’s stab wound, healing it. Meowth gasped softly with his eyes still closed, making Meowzie and the heroes notice hopefully as morning finally came. Then Meowth slowly opened his eyes and smiled)*

Meowth: (Groggily) Hey, guys…. I guess…. My time’s not up, huh?

*(The heroes got happy)*

Meowzie: Meowth!

*(She and Meowth hug happily. Then they see Jessie looking tearfully angry)*

Jessie: (In angry tears) Meowth, I don’t know whether or not to hit you...!

*(Then she was about to punch Meowth, but she instead smiled tearfully, much to their and Meowth’s happy relief)*

Jessie: (In happy tears) Or just hug you to welcome you back to us.

Meowth: (Happily) I like the second option.

*(Then the main heroes and Meowth's group joined in and hugged as well while Doom and the weasel guards just watched in calm surprise still. Then that ended when they heard groaning nearby. They turned and saw Negaduck and even Merlock's gang waking up slowly from their unconsciousness. Then Doom and the weasel guards apprehended them)*

Doom: You're under arrest!

*(The remaining villains got shocked upon seeing the heroes looking at them with calm glares)*

Merlock: (Nervously) Uh, we take it we lost?

Dijon: (Nervously) No hard feelings, right?

Merlock's gang: (Nervously) Yeah, right?

Negaduck: (Nervously) And I take it Vanitas, Don Karnage, and my wife are dead?

Sonic: Well....

Tails: Yeah. The three are dead.

*(Knuckles walked up to the surviving villains and punched them squarely in the faces)*

Knuckles: That's for framing us!

*(The heroes, except Doom and the weasel guards who just smiled in calm satisfaction, cheered at Knuckles' tenacity to punch the surviving villains. Vector then began to shoot out fireworks from his hands. The whole sky then became filled with fireworks as the heroes begin to celebrate)*

***Coming up: The finale; What happens next after Vanitas, Don Karnage, and Splatter Phoenix's deaths and Negaduck and Merlock's gang's arrest? Only time will tell.***
