I Wanna Be Like You/Rescuing Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika

*(Back at the monkey temple, the sounds of music could be heard. In the temple's main outer throne room, a bunch of Bander-Log monkeys were playing music on homemade instruments for their king. Their king is a stout male orangutan with orange fur, light gray face, thick black eyebrows, and a flesh-colored snout, palms, and soles. He is King Louie, and also the same one, the shadowy figure from the last chapter, who spotted Sheeta's group earlier. As he listened to the music, he began scat-singing)*

Louie: **Ding ding lo-la diddly-o zing boing**

**Sca-be-do, hoo-be-do, zee-bo do-zeb**

**Diddly-doo dee-hoy**

**I wanna be a man-man one or-rang-a-tang tang**

*(Just then, the other monkeys arrived with Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika in tow)*

Bander-Log Monkey 1: We got them, King Louie!

Bander-Log Monkey 2: Man, we got them, we got them!

Bander-Log Monkey 3: Just as you asked for and requested!

*(Then three groups of monkeys formed a three chain line and lowered the struggling upside-down Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika to Louie)*

Louie: (Laughing a bit) So, *you’re* the clever human cubs? Crazy!

Rika: (Angrily, to Louie) "Crazy?!"

Pazu: (Angrily, to Louie) Yeah, well, we’re not as crazy as *you* are!

Sheeta: (Angrily, to the monkeys) Put us down!

*(The monkeys dropped Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika)*

Rika: (Angrily, shaking her fist at the monkeys) You cut that out!

Louie: (Picking Pazu up by the seat of his pants) Cool it, kids. Unwind yourselves.

Sheeta: (Angrily) Hey! That’s my boyfriend!

Rika: (Angrily) Put him down!

*(Louie, ignoring the two girls, continued scatting a bit, as Pazu angrily swung his fists)*

Louie: Now, come on, let's shake, cousins.

*(He took Pazu’s hand and shook it, while Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika turned their anger into confusion)*

Sheeta and Rika: (Confused) “Cousins?”

Pazu: (Confused) What do you want *us* for?

*(Louie then sets Pazu down on the huge armrest of his throne)*

Louie: Word has grabbed my royal ear! Have a banana.

*(He shoots a banana from a peel he picked up and into Pazu’s mouth, who catches it)*

Louie: Then you three want to live in my temple, since you impressed me earlier.

Pazu: (Mouth full of his banana, dumbfounded) Live in your temple? Really?

Sheeta: (Confused) Is this because of our female orangutan disguise?

Louie: Yep. And ol' King Louie, *(Scats a bit)* that's me, can fix it for you. Have two bananas!

*(With his hands, he shot two bananas from each peel into Sheeta and Rika's respective mouths)*

Louie: Have we got a deal?

Sheeta: (Mouth full of her banana, confused) What deal?

Rika: (Mouth full of her banana) Just what's going on?

*(Louie gladly decided to answer as Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika swallowed their chewed-up bananas)*

Louie: Well, I'll lay it on the line for ya.

*(Then he begins singing)*

Louie: **A-bop-bop do-do do-be-do**

**Now, I am the king of the swingers, oh**

**The jungle VIP**

**I've reached the top and had to stop**

**And that's what's been botherin' me**

**I wanna be a man, human-cubs**

**And stroll right into town**

**And be just like the other men**

**I'm tired of monkeyin' around**

**Oh, oobie-do**

Bander-Log monkeys: **Bop-do-wee**

Louie: **I wanna be like you**

Bander-Log monkeys: **Hum dee oobee-do-ba**

Louie: **I wanna walk like you**

Bander-Log monkeys: **Tee**

Louie: **Talk like you**

Bander-Log monkey: **Too**

Louie: **Too**

Bander-Log monkeys: **Wee be-dee be-dee do**

Louie: **You see it's true**

Bander-Log monkeys: **Shoo-ba dee-do**

Louie: **Someone like me**

Bander-Log monkeys: **Shoo-be do-bee do-bee**

Louie: **Can learn to be human too**

*(He made sounds as if playing a horn and began dancing. As he did, a little servant monkey holding a leaf fan started to join in noisily after discarding the leaf fan)*

Louie: (Noticing the monkey joining in) Wha...?

*(Louie, in annoyance, swiped at the monkey, but the monkey hopped up onto a wall)*

Monkey: Mm-mm.

*(Then he started whistling, much to Louie's annoyance, as he covered his ears. The monkey continued and Louie couldn't take it anymore, so he hopped up onto the wall and swiped at the monkey again, but the monkey jumped out of the way and continued grooving and whistling, as Louie snatched the leaf fan from him and stopped him by whacking him with the leaf fan, before he started scatting again)*

Louie: **Roo-baka-tee-gah**

**Roo-baka-tee-gee**

**Zoo-baka too-baka**

**Too-baka too-baka too-baka**

**Too-bee pau-wagau to-pah**

*(The Bander-Log monkeys applauded to Louie a bit and Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika, chuckling a bit at this, soon got into the beat)*

Pazu: Gee, Cousin Louie, you're doing real good.

Louie: Now, here's your part of the deal, cuzes.

*(He wipes his ear clean a bit, and then he leaned towards Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika)*

Louie: Lay the secret on me of man's red fire.

Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika: (Surprised) "Fire?"

Rika: (Confused) You had your monkeys bring us here to teach you about fire, due to us being clever? *(Being polite)* That's a generous offer.

Sheeta: (Being polite) But you're smart, you should know it.

Pazu: (Being polite) You don't need us or our cleverness to help you.

*(Louie frowned in annoyance)*

Louie: **Now, don't try to kid me, human cubs**

**I made a deal with you**

**What I desire is man's red fire**

**To make my dream come true**

*(As Louie continued singing, at the temple's secret passageway, Sheeta's group snuck into the temple to find and rescue Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika, before they hid behind a wall upon entering and listened in)*

Louie: **Now, give me the secret, human cubs**

**Come on, clue me what to do**

**Give me the power of man's red flower**

**So I can be like you**

Yuffie: (Whispering in shock) Fire?!

Ray: (Whispering) So that's what that chucklehuck scoundrel's after!

Tombo: (Whispering) No wonder he kidnapped them!

Tiger: (Whispering, freaking out) We need to help Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika! If you need me....

*(Tiger attempts to sneak off, but Quackerjack stopped him by grabbing his tail)*

Quackerjack: (Whispering) Not so fast! They need us.

Fievel: (Whispering) You can do this, Tiger. Even I believe in you.

*(Slowly realizing they're right, Tiger then got determined)*

Tiger: (Whispering) You're right. I'll tear him limb from limb, I'll beat him, I'll....

*(Suddenly, he and even Flip, Megavolt, and Quackerjack started to get into the beat of the music)*

Tiger: (Whispering) I'll.... Hmm, yeah, well.

Megavolt: (Whispering) What a beat!

Quackerjack: (Whispering) Quite catchy.

Renamon: (Whispering) Will you stop that silly beat business and listen?

Noibat: (Whispering) Wait!

*(They listened)*

Noibat: (Whispering) If they want to join in the beat, then let them do it the right way for us.

*(He winks at Sheeta's group while saying this. Getting the idea, Sheeta's group agreed)*

Jiminy: (Whispering) This will take brains, not brawn.

Pinocchio: (Whispering) You better believe it.

*(Then they came up with a plan)*

Pinocchio: (Whispering, gesturing to Tiger) Now, while you create a disturbance, *(Gestures to himself and the others)* We'll rescue Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika. Got that?

Tiger: (Whispering) What kind of disturbance?

*(Thinking about it, Flip, Megavolt, and Quackerjack perked up in happiness and whispered in Tiger's ear, making him smile back in realization)*

Tiger: (Whispering, winks at them) Okay, I gotcha.

*(Upon reaching to the courtyard secretly where Louie is leading a dance with Sheeta, Pazu, Rika, and the Bander-Log monkeys, Yuffie and Bushroot quickly posed themselves as a statue and plant model respectively and, once Louie, Sheeta, Pazu, Rika, and the Bander-Log monkeys had passed, they reached over to grab Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika, but suddenly, Tiger, dressed as a female orangutan, burst through the door, partially crushing Yuffie and Bushroot behind it, much to the hidden Sheeta's group's concern and surprise. Even Flip, Megavolt, and Quackerjack joined Tiger, disguised as a belly dancer, a maiden, and a knave respectively (Megavolt and Quackerjack's disguises here are the maiden and knave costumes they wore at the Shubird Theater in the "Darkwing Duck" episode "Stressed to Kill," except Megavolt will wear a short curly blonde wig on his head))*

Tiger: (In a girly voice) **Hey**

**Da-zaap bon-ronee**

**Hap ba-dee dee-lap-da-non**

Quackerjack: **Hene-bebe-re**

**Doot zaba-doo-bee-bay**

**Bo-bom, za-ba-pa-panney**

Megavolt: (In a girly voice) Care to join me, big guy?

Flip: (In a girly voice) Come with us and jam, Sam.

*(Noticing the four disguised males, Louie then happily started dancing with them. Secretly realizing that their friends have come to save them upon secretly recognizing Tiger, Flip, Megavolt, and Quackerjack through their disguises, Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika got happy and then played along while they and Sheeta's group got ready to escape and rescue the three on cue)*

Louie: **Abba-doo-dee?**

Tiger, Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Flip: (With Tiger, Flip, and Megavolt in girly voices) **With a reep-bon-naza**

Louie: **Eh ba-daba doy**

Tiger, Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Flip: (With Tiger, Flip, and Megavolt in girly voices) **Well-a-la-ba zini**

Louie: **War-la-bop, boor-la-bop**

Tiger, Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Flip: (With Tiger, Flip, and Megavolt in girly voices) **See-ble-dop, dooney**

Louie: **Ooh, ooh, ooh**

Tiger, Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Flip: (With Tiger, Flip, and Megavolt in girly voices) **With a huh, huh, huh, huh**

*(Louie made some playful growling noises)*

Quackerjack: Get mad, baby!

Louie: **Hada-lada hada-lada**

Megavolt: (In a girly voice) **With a hada-lada hadoo-doo**

Louie: **Oodle-loodle-oodle-loodle**

Quackerjack: **Ooh-doo-daa-daa-daa**

Louie: **Doodle-doot, doodle-doot**

Megavolt and Flip: (In girly voices) **Zee-ba-da-da**

**Haba-da**

*(The Bander-Log monkeys, Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika continued dancing with them as the song continued)*

Louie: **You-hoo-hoo**

Bander-Log monkeys: **Bop-do-wee**

Louie: **I wanna be like you**

Bander-Log monkeys: **Hum dee oobee-do-ba**

Louie: **I wanna walk like you**

Bander-Log monkeys: **Dee**

Louie: **Talk like you**

Bander-Log monkeys: **Too**

Tiger, Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Flip: (With Tiger, Flip, and Megavolt in girly voices) **Too-oo-oo**

Bander-Log monkeys: **Wee be-dee be-dee do**

Everyone except Sheeta's group: **You see it's true, hoo-hoo**

**Someone like me-ee-ee**

**Can learn to be like someone like me**

Quackerjack: Take it home, Daddy!

Everyone except Sheeta's group: **Can learn to be like someone like you**

Louie: One more time!

*(Then he slapped Tiger, Flip, Megavolt, and Quackerjack on their backs, causing Tiger's disguise, Megavolt's wig, and Quackerjack and Flip's headwears to fall off)*

Tiger: (In a girly voice) **Yeah**

**Can learn to be like someone like me**

*(While Sheeta's group got shocked at Tiger's disguise, Megavolt's wig, and Quackerjack and Flip's headwears falling off, Louie and the Bander-Log monkeys got both shocked and surprised)*

Megavolt: (In a girly voice) **Zee-dee-dee bop-bop-botta**

*(Realizing their disguise and headwears fell off along with Megavolt's wig, Tiger, Flip, and Quackerjack stopped doing what they're doing and got Megavolt's attention, making him realize as well that he slowly stopped as well)*

Megavolt: (Starting to go slowly, returning his voice to normal) **Doodle-dat un-dat un-dat un-dat un-dat un-dat....**

*(Sheeta's group now realize the four have been caught)*

Tiger, Megavolt, Quackerjack, and Flip: (With Tiger, Flip, and Megavolt in their normal voices) Oh, boy.

Bander-Log Monkey 1: It’s Tiger, Flip, Megavolt, and Quackerjack!

Bander-Log Monkey 2: Yeah, that’s them!

Bander-Log Monkey 3: How’d they get in here?

Mushu: (To Sheeta's group) Plan B time!

Rika: (To Sheeta and Pazu) Move it or lose it!

*(Sheeta and Pazu nodded and they let Tiger pick them up, and a classic chase scene ensued with Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika being passed from monkey to monkey, and during all of this, Tiger, Flip, Megavolt, and Quackerjack quickly changed back into their main attires again, classic cartoon-style. At one point, a monkey caught Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika and ran away, only to be blocked by Nemo and Yuffie. Finally, the chase ended with Louie grabbing Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika and Renamon, Noibat, Tiger, Fievel, Camille, Flip, Megavolt, Quackerjack, Kiki, Jiji, and Tombo chasing him to get Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika. They ran to the bottom of the temple where some stone pillars are holding the temple up. Tiger managed to grab Sheeta’s hand, but Louie grabbed one of the pillars. Tiger's group tugged on Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika’s arms, causing Louie to pull on the stone pillar, breaking it. Seeing his temple starting to crumble, Louie handed Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika to Tiger's group and took the pillar's place. Seeing this, Tombo winked at the others, before he and Tiger's group set Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika down, went over to Louie, and began tickling him. Louie started laughing until he cried a bit. A bunch of monkeys came up from behind Tiger's group holding a battering ram. They rammed into them, bouncing them back and causing Tiger's group to take Louie’s place, and Louie rammed into another pillar, causing it to break. Tiger's group smiled sheepishly and ran away with Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika, leaving Louie struggling to hold up the temple by himself. The temple then started to crumble, as Sheeta’s group fled the temple. A chunk of debris landed on Tiger's tail, making him scream in pain, but luckily, Sheeta's group ran back upon noticing and freed Tiger's tail by pushing the chunk off with their strength. Then they resumed their escape, and during this, another small chunk of the temple smacked Flip's right elbow really hard)*

Flip: (Upon being hit) Ouch!

*(As Sheeta's group fled, the temple finished tumbling down, leaving Louie still standing in what was left of his temple. Once Sheeta's group ran as far away from the temple as possible, they stopped to catch their breath)*

Rika: Thanks for getting us out.

Sheeta and Pazu: Yeah, thanks.

Sheeta's group: No problem.

*(Then they spotted a bridge in front of them that leads to the other side of the trench. And next to the bridge is a sign that reads "This Way to Emerald City." Happily realizing they're going the right way, Sheeta's group started to head towards it)*

Ray: (Happily) See, Caps and *Cheres*, told y’all ol’ reliable Ray will getcha to the other side.

Sheeta’s group: (Agreeing happily) Yeah, thanks.

*(Suddenly noticing a blue, red, green, and yellow sword within a dark blue, dark red, dark green, and dark yellow scabbard and belt, a blue, red, green, and yellow metal bo stick, and a blue, red, green, and yellow bow and dark blue, dark red, dark green, and dark yellow quiver full of colorful arrows resting among some treasure nearby, Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika ran up to it, grabbed it, and looked at it, for the sword, bo stick, and bow and arrows looked like water, fire, earth, and wind combined. Then Renamon called out to them as the others ran across the bridge)*

Renamon: Pazu, girls, come on!

*(Sheeta, Pazu, and Rika nods and ran across the bridge with the others, carrying the sword, bo stick, and bow and arrows. Upon reaching the other side of the trench, Sheeta's group panted in exhaustion and then they looked back at the center island of the trench where Louie's temple once stood and laughed a bit)*

Bushroot: Man, that's gonna take a couple of months for Louie and his Bander-Log to rebuild their home.

Liquidator: Yep. If they were to think twice on kidnapping our friends over fire, we would've felt sorry for them.

*(Then just as they started to resume their walk, Flip stretched his arms out to stretch a bit when he felt something hurting his left elbow that he winced in pain and immediately clutched it)*

Nemo: Flip?

Noibat: You okay?

*(Suddenly, Flip felt something wet and painful on his elbow as he clutched it. He then removed his hand and, to his and Sheeta's group's shock and concern, they saw....)*

Camille: You're elbow's cut up!

Wes: Apparently, you're not alright, palsy!

*(Sure enough, on Flip's hand is some of his blood and and even on his cut elbow, along with part of his coat and shirt's sleeve that got ripped from where he was cut)*

Sheeta: (Winces in concern) He’s bleeding terribly!

Renamon: That looks bad!

Kiki, Tombo, and Jiji: I'll say!

*(They run into the forest to take shelter and recover since it’s now night. Up in the sky, Diablo saw this with a glare and flew away. Back at Maleficent’s castle, Diablo flew into her upper tower room and cawed at her. She calmly got shocked)*

Maleficent: What? They’re almost to Emerald City?! And Camille is with them?!

*(She glared and used her magic on her wand to communicate with Splatter Phoenix. Elsewhere, Splatter Phoenix, who is still heading her way to get the color-making shells, sensed the magic from Maleficent. She then answered)*

Splatter Phoenix: What is it, Maleficent?

*(Silence, then….)*

Splatter Phoenix: What?! Those brats and their friends are almost to Emerald City?! And who’s with them?

*(She listened, then she got shocked)*

Splatter Phoenix: What?! Camille is out of the tower?!

*(She got angry)*

Splatter Phoenix: All right! I’ll meet up with you!

*(She snapped out of the magic in a fury and she teleported back to the castle. Upon her arrival, Maleficent then noticed her in calm anger and spoke up)*

Maleficent: Shocking, is it?

Splatter Phoenix: Indeed! I cannot believe Camille would deceive me like that!

Maleficent: What do you mean, “Deceive you?”

Splatter Phoenix: Well, I did deceive her into staying in the tower, yet she wanted to see those stupid lanterns in Emerald City! But now I am extremely livid and concerned that if she does, she might eventually find out the truth about herself!

Maleficent: So she tricked you into leaving the tower, right?

Splatter Phoenix: Yes. She claimed that she wanted more paint, but that, I now realize, was bogus!

Maleficent: Have patience. If she refuses to return to the tower, then we’ll think of something to stop her and her new friends, and make her return, through a deceit of your own.

Splatter Phoenix: (Thinks it over) Deceit of my own, huh?

*(She smirked evilly)*

Splatter Phoenix: I like that idea.

*(Then she changed the subject)*

Splatter Phoenix: Anyway, where is she now?

Maleficent: In the forest past the trench and monkey temple, according to Diablo. And to recap, if she refuses, then we’ll come up with something to make her return to you and take care of her friends.

Splatter Phoenix: (Nods with an evil smirk) Got it.

*(Then with that, they head out after Sheeta's group)*

***Coming up: Sheeta’s group rest for the night and learn more of Camille’s healing powers, as well as Yuffie, Flip, Wes, and the Fearsome Four's talents. Then later, Camille and Splatter Phoenix reunite for a brief moment and when Splatter Phoenix tries to persuade Camille into returning to the tower, Camille bravely stands her ground and makes her mother leave her and her friends alone. Then afterwards when that worked, despite Splatter Phoenix grudgingly agreeing with a hint of blackmail, Sheeta's group is then introduced by Ray to Evangeline.***
