Reviving Sonic's Group and their and Sally's Group's Keyblades/Going After Eggman's Group and the 40 Thieves

*(Then as we crossfade from the blackness back to the Forest of Shirabad near the Temple of EnEmE inside the barrier, Cloud and Aerith were unconscious when they slowly woke up and then got up in confusion while looking around)*

Cloud: (Confused) What?

Aerith: (Confused) Are we suddenly back in Shirabad?

Cloud: Is this because of that black purple light back at the palace?

Launchpad: (Voice-over) It appeared it was to you.

*(Cloud and Aerith then noticed the hero group, but Sonic, Sally, and Chuck’s groups are not with them while Fat Tony and Merlock’s gangs are standing nearby, not noticed by Cloud and Aerith yet)*

Aerith: Guys?

Cloud: What are you all doing here?

Penelope: EnEmE happened, that’s what.

Bugs: That’s right.

*(Cloud and Aerith got confused even more)*

Cloud: EnEmE?

Aerith: Wasn’t he sealed?

*(Then Merlock’s group spoke up in annoyance)*

Merlock: You ask too much questions!

Negaduck: This isn’t the time for a game of “Twenty Questions!”

*(Noticing Merlock and Fat Tony’s gangs finally, Cloud and Aerith immediately got angry and began accusing them)*

Cloud: Why are you here?!

Aerith: What did you do this time?!

Louie: Whoa, back up!

Brer Fox: Easy there!

Brer Bear: We was used!

Fat Tony: And me and my men were used by Eggman’s group as well!

Cloud: Yeah, right!

Johnny: Honest!

Louie: We didn’t do anything this time.

Legs: The Boss and us mafia men ain’t had nothing to do with it.

Cloud: What makes you think we’ll believe you?

*(Meowzie spoke up)*

Meowzie: They’re telling the truth for once!

*(Cloud and Aerith listened)*

Meowzie: They were both used as pawns by Eggman’s group, EnEmE, and the Badnik Thieves and, while Merlock’s gang partook with them at first, Fat Tony’s gang had nothing to do with this.

Meowth: In fact, McLeach’s group were planning on killing Fat Tony’s gang upon their accomplishment, if it weren’t for us intervening and making a deal with them.

Merlock and Fat Tony’s gangs: (Nods) It’s true.

Chip: We were all there when it happened.

*(Marahute nods in agreement. Cloud and Aerith, after a brief staring contest, calmed down, gave in, and decided to believe them)*

Cloud: As much as Aerith and I don’t trust Merlock’s gang completely….

Aerith: I guess we’ll believe them and Fat Tony’s gang, considering the latter gang had nothing to do with this completely like you said.

Johnny: So, in other words, you both…?

Aerith: (Nods) Yes.

Cloud: Even if you mafia men are criminals and once threatened our lives, I guess we will both pardon you of all criminal charges involving Agrabah and Shirabad after this.

*(They then see the hero group calmly hang their heads in calm sadness)*

Fat Tony: If that’s possible.

*(Confused, Cloud and Aerith asked away)*

Cloud: What do you mean?

Aerith: How did EnEmE get out, speaking of which? Did you also find Chuck’s group?

Cloud: And where are Sonic and Sally’s groups?

*(Hearing those questions, the hero group and Merlock’s gang became calmly sad and hung their heads silently even more, calmly confusing and concerning Cloud and Aerith)*

Cloud and Aerith: What happened?

Merlock: (In calm sadness) EnEmE’s seal got broken, because of us and mostly Eggman’s group.

Vanilla: (In calm sadness) It didn’t end well for us.

*(The hero group and Merlock’s gang point at another spot nearby them)*

Felldrake: (In calm sadness) Eggman’s group and the Badnik Thieves saw to it.

Dijon: (Sadly) That’s right.

*(Cloud and Aerith turned to where they’re pointing and saw, to their shock and confusion, Sally and Chuck’s groups silently and calmly mourning sadly next to Sonic’s group’s lifeless bodies)*

Aerith: Sonic’s group?!

*(They go up to them in concern)*

Cloud: No…! You don’t think…?

Chuck: (Sadly) I’m afraid so, you’re majesties.

Longclaw: (Sadly) They’re gone.

*(Cream, Cheese, Toby, Milo, and Sophia silently nods in sadness and agreement, on the verge of calmly crying. Cloud and Aerith got devastated and shocked)*

Aerith: You don’t mean “Gone” as in…?

*(Sally’s group nods sadly and tearfully. Then Cloud and Aerith got calmly saddened along with everyone else)*

Cloud: (Voice breaking) No way…!

Aerith: (Voice breaking) Sonic, guys!

*(Then Fat Tony’s gang and even Merlock’s gang calmly start shedding tears of sadness)*

Fat Tony: (Sadly) Those monsters played us all for fools!

Pitch: (Voice breaking calmly) Their plan the whole time was to steal the Golden Hand of Midas and cause the Princesses of Agrabah to be consumed with despair by killing someone dear to them, that they’d cry tears of sadness.

Duke: (Voice breaking calmly) And then their tears would activate the Golden Hand of Midas’ powers to free EnEmE from his seal.

Komodo Joe: (Crying calmly) For the first time, we are so ashamed for our actions!

Dijon, Puppetmon, and Komodo Moe: (Crying calmly, hugging the calm crying Komodo Joe in comfort) And us!

*(The four then broke down crying calmly. Cloud and Aerith looked at Sally’s group in sadness and sympathy combined. The truth being out now, Sally’s group finally confessed in an apologetic way through sobs)*

Sally: (Crying) Yes, it’s true. EnEmE was freed because of us.

Cosmo: (Crying) We’re so sorry, everyone. We tried to save our kingdoms….

Amy: (Crying) Make everything better, like we all wanted, but…. We lost everything close to us….

Sally’s group: (Crying) We'll never forgive ourselves!

*(They break down crying calmly as they gently caressed Sonic’s group’s lifeless bodies close to them. Sure enough, everyone else calmly started to silently mourn for Sonic’s group with the rest of the Elemental Spirits from outside the barrier watching this silently in calm sadness; With Doom, Onyx, the main Elemental Spirits, NightMares, the rest of the Elemental Spirits, and first half of the serious members of Merlock’s gang just calmly hanging their heads in calm sadness, no tears in their eyes, Marahute, Steelbeak, Balto, Smarty, Cloud, Aerith, Chuck, Longclaw, Celebi, Zorua, Victini, Latios, Latias, Cornelius, Zak, Terrence, Negaduck, Merlock, Warren, the Duke, Felldrake, Hydro Man, Electro, Poison Ivy, Pitch, and the other half of the serious members of Merlock’s gang just calmly hanging their heads in calm sadness, shedding tears only, and Sally, Vector, and Bugs' groups, Chip, Team Rocket, the Fearsome Four, Jenna, Psycho, Greasy, Stupid, Wheezy, Meowzie, Morgana, Minerva, Milo, Sophia, Tiny, Dingodile, Fat Tony, Legs, Louie, Johnny, Scratch, Grounder, Coconuts, Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist, Thumbelina, Tink, Vidia, Silvermist, Rosetta, Fawn, Iridessa, Zarina, Manic, Sonia, Dijon, Brer Fox, Brer Bear, Drake, the Komodo Brothers, Hunch, Baron, Puppetmon, and the non-serious members of Merlock’s gang just crying silently and calmly. As Fat Tony sobbed calmly, he pulled out his white handkerchief from his shirt pocket along with Megavolt, Quackerjack, Puppetmon, and the Komodo Brothers who pulled their own handkerchiefs out)*

Fat Tony: (Crying calmly) Why was I born a man?

Megavolt, Quackerjack, Puppetmon, and Komodo Brothers: (Crying calmly, with Puppetmon wiping his tear away) We don’t know why, either.

*(Then the five and Fat Tony blew their own noses on their own handkerchiefs, with Puppetmon poking a hole in his handkerchief, ripping it in half as usual, while Megavolt and Quackerjack, after they blew their noses, just buried their own faces in their own handkerchiefs to cry calmly and silently on while Vector's group, Chip, Bushroot, Liquidator, and Team Rocket, still crying calmly and silently, hugged the two in comfort. Then suddenly, soft gusts of wind blew by Sally’s group and Meowzie, snapping them out of their mourning and then they looked around in confusion as the ones crying calmly and silently continued to cry calmly and silently)*

Sally’s group and Meowzie: (Confused) Sonic…? (Tails…?) (Knuckles…?) (Sonic’s group…?)

*(Noticing Sally’s group and Meowzie’s reactions, the palace residents and even Merlock’s group snapped out of their mourning too and got everyone’s attention)*

Male palace residents: Wait, everyone!

Female palace residents: Stop!

Merlock’s group: You heard them, stop our blubbering right now!

*(Upon hearing the Agrabah palace residents and Merlock’s group, the rest of the hero group and Merlock's gang then stopped crying calmly and silently and noticed Sally’s group and Meowzie’s reactions in confusion)*

Fat Tony: What’s the matter?

Sally: My group, Meowzie, and I feel them….

Cosmo and Amy: Yes….

Meowzie: Sonic’s group’s presences in the wind.

Megavolt: (Wiping some of his tears away with his handkerchief while sniffling) Yeah, so what?

Meowzie: So, that means we just sensed that Sonic’s group’s not dead completely!

Sally: It’s like they’re saying, “There’s still hope! Our time is not up yet, and we’re not ready for death yet!”

Cosmo and Amy: That’s right!

*(Hearing them, everyone slowly became hopeful and determined as the ones with tears in their eyes blinked away the last of their tears away)*

Sally’s group: We’re sure of it.

Meowzie: It’s not too late!

*(Realizing something, Vector spoke up, snapping his fingers)*

Vector: Of course!

*(They listened as Vector turned into self-taught American herbalist and botanist, Samuel Thomson, from the early 1800s)*

Vector: (Imitating Samuel Thomson) According to the Botanical World Encyclopedia, the Golden Flower’s magic can also revive those who are not completely dead!

Meowzie, Latios, and goddesses: (Realizing as well) Just like it did us earlier.

*(Sally then pulled out her bottle-like satchel from her bag, realizing she still has the Golden Flower’s magic sap)*

Sally: So, where should we pour it, in their mouths or…?

Vector: (Imitating Samuel Thomson) On their wounds.

Puppetmon: (Angrily at first) Uh, hello?! Earth to Vector; That wound’s not gonna let it heal it unless…! *(Slowly realizes as he calms down upon noticing everyone else looking at him with flat looks that means “Figure it out, genius!”)* It…. *(Realizes sheepishly while sheepishly fiddling his ripped in half handkerchief)* Oh, yeah, duh, that’s right! Until its wounded victim’s dead, the barrier’s not going away.

Vector: (Imitating Samuel Thomson) And there’s also an optional way to make the Golden Flower’s magic work on that!

*(Merlock’s gang got annoyed)*

Merlock: Do you *have* to act out a character?

Vector: (Realizes sheepishly, in his normal voice) Oh, sorry!

*(He changes back to normal)*

Vector: (Chuckles sheepishly a bit) That’s just part of *my* character.

Vanilla: (Agreeing) Geneva convention.

*(Then Vector resumed his explanation)*

Vector: But seriously, there’s an optional way to do it with the Golden Flower’s magic combined.

*(He looked at Sally’s group)*

Vector: What is the one thing that breaks evil spells, like say, when a hero rescues his princess?

*(After thinking it over a bit, Sally’s figured it out easily)*

Sally’s group: True love’s kiss.

Vector: (Imitating a game show host) You are correct, ladies!

*(Now calmly determined than ever, Sally’s group then gave calm sad smiles at Sonic’s group’s lifeless bodies as little tears slowly filled their eyes and Sally opened her bottle-like satchel and held it over Sonic’s group’s partially covered stab wounds)*

Sally: You’ve done great things for us.

Cosmo: You did. Now, it’s our turn to return the favor.

Amy: None of us care what might happen to us or anybody else next for now.

Sally: What matters is that we’re fighting for both Agrabah and Shirabad.

Amy: With all six virtues within us.

Cosmo: (Shedding a tear with Sally and Amy) Loyal, Brave, True, Kind, Pure, and Love.

*(They looked at Cloud, Aerith, and the hero group, who nods in approval with sad, yet hopeful looks, as well, with the non-serious heroes shedding tears, while Merlock’s gang just watched silently, with a hint of hope for Sonic’s group to be revived. Then Sally’s group turned back to Sonic’s group’s lifeless bodies)*

Sally’s group: (Sheds another tear of their own) Sonic, (Tails,) (Knuckles,) come back! To us…. To all of us!

*(Then on cue after Sally carefully poured the Golden Flower’s sap onto Sonic’s group’s stab wounds, Sally, Cosmo, and Amy leaned down on Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles respectively and kissed them on their own lips, and all six of them soon became engulfed by a powerful golden light barrier. Then the golden light barrier exploded into a wave of gold light and when it died down, it revealed Sonic’s group, their stab wounds healed floating in an upright position with their eyes closed, when they slowly opened their eyes and gasped softly, alive again, much to everyone’s, even Merlock’s gang’s, calm happiness. Sally’s group almost collapsed in exhaustion when Sonic’s group caught each of their own lover gently)*

Sonic’s group: Thank you, Sally. (Cosmo.) (Amy.)

Tails: We’re sorry for causing this.

Sonic and Knuckles: Forgive us?

*(Sally’s group nods and they hug. They then let the non-serious members of the heroes run up to them in happy tears and hug them while the serious heroes with tears in their eyes watched on proudly, with Doom being the only serious member who didn't have tears in his eyes, glad to see Sonic’s group alive again. Even Merlock’s gang was somewhat calmly impressed by the revival. After the heroes blinked away their tears, with Megavolt, Quackerjack, Puppetmon, the Komodo Brothers, and Fat Tony putting their own handkerchiefs, and Puppetmon's ripped in half handkerchief, away in their respective jumpsuit, pants, robes, and shirt pockets, and the hugging ended, they and Merlock’s gang then got determined and rushed up to the barrier’s wall)*

Sonic: Me and Sally’s groups’ Keyblades may be destroyed, but we just need to find a way for a power boost up from the Elemental Spirits from what we can see on this barrier.

Sally: You said it.

Louie: But how are we gonna boost up their oomphs?

*(Then they looked at Meowzie and the Elemental Spirits, both main and army-wise, they realized)*

Louie: Oh! *They* can boost themselves up!

Meowzie and Iridsella: (Getting it) That’s right.

*(Then, in determination, Stellaluna and the Elemental Spirits approached the barrier wall and powered up their magic. Then once all powered up, they blasted the barrier, breaking a hole. The hero group and Merlock’s gang got happy at first, but then the barrier quickly closed up again)*

Hunch: Drat, it can repair itself?!

*(Getting determined even more, Meowzie and the Elemental Spirits blasted the wall again after powering up even more. Then just when the wall closed up again, it stopped suddenly by a forceful golden light magic for some reason. Even Meowzie and the Elemental Spirits got confused)*

Iridsella: How?

Meowzie: Whose power is that?

*(Suddenly, they see Meowth, Milo, and Sophia praying silently. The three snapped out of it and on cue, the barrier’s wall closed up again. There, the hero group and Merlock’s gang realized)*

Negaduck: Meowth just….

Hydro Man: Along with their two kitty brats....

*(Realizing along with everyone else, Iridsella explained away)*

Iridsella: Then that means, if Meowth is Meowzie’s husband, now part of the Shirabadian and Aztlán royal family bloodline, and then they eventually having Milo and Sophia….

Meowzie: Then those three, too, will eventually awaken their elemental powers as the other Tamers of Elements, as well as the respective King, Prince, and Princess of both Shirabad and Aztlán, with me as the Queen….

Meowth, Milo, and Sophia: (Amazed) Yes….

Jessie and James: (Curiously) And us?

Meowzie: Afraid not.

Iridsella: You may be joining us as royal bodyguards for the royal family, but you won't develop elemental powers.

Jessie and James: (Getting it) Ah, okay.

*(Then getting determined, Meowth, Meowzie, Milo, Sophia, and the Elemental Spirits powered up together, and this time, blasted a really powerful blast onto the barrier, this time, cracking a lot of cracks onto it. Then this time, instead of repairing itself again, it shattered and vanished, freeing everyone that was trapped in the barrier. Everyone then got happy)*

Louie: All right!

Poison Ivy: About time we’re out!

Puppetmon: Yeah!

Jessie, James, and Meowzie: (To Meowth, Milo, and Sophia) How did it feel to have magic now?

Meowth, Milo, and Sophia: (Looking at their paw-like hands in amazement) It felt really good….

*(Then Sonic and Sally’s groups, Team Rocket, Meowzie, Milo, and Sophia turned to the hero group and Merlock’s gang in determination)*

Meowth: Well, we’re gonna go after Eggman’s group and the Badnik Thieves and stop them!

Jessie: Teach them a lesson they'll never forget!

James: Make them pay!

Milo: Make them wish they're never born!

Sophia: We'll die trying to stop them!

Meowzie: And destroy EnEmE!

Sally’s group: We will fight to the very end!

Sonic’s group: Because the six virtues for us; Loyalty, Bravery, Truth, Kindness, Friendship, and Family…!

Sonic and Sally’s groups, Team Rocket, Meowzie, Milo, and Sophia: That’s our true power!

*(Then, as if on cue, Sonic and Sally’s groups’ hearts’ locations glowed a powerful golden light and then morphed into six familiar key-shaped weapons into their hands again, this time, having hints of gold engravings on them. Sure enough, it’s their repaired Keyblades, or Keyblade-merged Piko-Piko Hammer for Amy's case, this time with the said gold engravings on the blades. Then, grasping them blade-up in calm determination like knights with each right arm of their own, Sonic and Sally’s group then held their Keyblades into the air and then points the blades straight ahead as the golden light glows died down from their Keyblades. Cloud, Aerith, and Chuck and Thumbelina’s groups realized in calm amazement)*

Cloud, Aerith, and Chuck and Thumbelina’s groups: (In calm amazement) Their confidence from the six virtues fixed and reawakened their Keyblades again….

*(Then after Sonic and Sally’s groups armed themselves with their Keyblades in determination, they turned to Cloud, Aerith, and the hero group)*

Sonic and Sally’s groups: Shall we?

Cloud, Aerith, and hero group: (Nods) Right!

Steelbeak: Let’s kick some bad guy butts!

Minerva: Right behind you!

Quackerjack: It's playtime!

*(Then just as they got ready to head for the Fairy Clan Village’s direction, Merlock’s gang piped in in calm angry determination)*

Merlock’s gang: Everyone…!

*(They turned and saw Merlock’s gang climb aboard their skimmers and Pitch climbed on Onyx's back in determination)*

Pitch: Until this is all over and we surrender to Agrabah’s dungeon for real and for now….

Merlock: Looks like we’ll have no other choice, but to bury our hatchets against each other and help bring those jerks down for *us*!

Dijon: In other words, we’re teaming up, for now.

*(Even Onyx, her NightMare army, and the Elemental Spirits made their creature noises in determined agreement. The hero group gave an agreement nod)*

Hero group: (Nods in agreement) Very well.

Doom: Just so long as you cooperatingly get arrested and go to the dungeon back in Agrabah’s palace after this.

Smarty: Fair deal?

Darkwing: We can guarantee that it's better than punishment by execution.

Launchpad: Which makes the imprisonment part a harmless punishment.

*(After contemplating a bit, Merlock's gang agreed)*

Merlock’s gang: (Nods) Deal.

*(Then, after the hero group reused Chuck’s group and Fat Tony’s gang’s merged ship, this time with Cloud and Aerith joining in, they and Merlock’s gang, who rode on their skimmers and Pitch riding on Onyx's back, charged back towards the Fairy Clan Village’s direction. Suddenly, the ship tripped and fell down a nearby cliffside, breaking apart in the process, making the hero group recover upon the crash and Merlock’s gang stop and watch)*

Tink: (In agitation) Oh, come on!

Morgana: (In agitation) Why’d it have to fall and break on us now?!

*(Suddenly, they spot all the animals of Shirabad surrounding them upon approaching them, including the Apple Mantises, Albagoyles, Lobotoses, Tree Bark Crocodiles, and Biolumonsters. The hero group and Merlock’s gang got calmly concerned and/or determined, prepared for what might come next. Suddenly, to their calm surprise and amazement, the animals, Albagoyles, and even the Apple Mantises, Tree Bark Crocodiles, and Biolumonsters calmly ushered the hero group, Merlock’s gang, and the Elemental Spirits to climb on any of the giant beasts in calm submission. Recognizing those gestures, Meowzie and Iridsella explained away)*

Iridsella: Despite our differences between prey and predator….

Meowzie: They wish to help us against the same enemy….

*(Calmly agreeing in determination silently, some members of the hero group, after Chuck’s group and Fat Tony’s gang puts away their separated damaged ships, then rode on some Apple Mantises, Albagoyles, and Biolumonsters while Swackhammer’s gang remained in their skimmers and Pitch remained on Onyx's back and charged to the direction of the Fairy Clan Village, ready to fight and defeat Eggman’s group, EnEmE, and the Badnik Thieves for the fate of Agrabah, Shirabad, and the world)*

***Coming up: The final battle has arrived finally, for just when Eggman’s group, EnEmE, and the Badnik Thieves almost capture the Fairy Clan and prepare to kill some of them who defy them, Cloud, Aerith, the hero group, and Merlock’s gang, with help from Shirabad’s wildlife, arrive in time to fight. But which side will come out victorious in the end? Only time will tell.***
