Friends Like Us/Xehanort's Group and their Goons' New Plan

*(Back at the palace that same night, Amy's group are in their room, on their own beds and in their pajamas, crying silently. Amy is now wearing a light green pajamas that consists of a T-shirt and pants. Cosmo is now wearing a fuchsia pajama jacket with buttons and matching pajama pants. Tikal is now wearing a. Rouge is now wearing a. Blaze is now wearing a. And Kayla is now wearing a. Cream, Cheese, Rama, and Tawna were nearby, looking sad. Mario, Peach, Luigi, and Daisy came in to check on them and saw what happened)*

Mario: (Concerned) Girls?

Peach: (Concerned) Oh, girls. What's wrong?

Amy: (Tearfully, sniffles) Xehanort and his men have, done something terrible.

*(Peach and Daisy sighed as they, Mario, and Luigi came over to the girls and held Amy's group's hands respectively)*

Mario: There, there.

Luigi: We can make things right.

Daisy: Now, tell us everything from the start.

Peach: What happened?

*(Back at the underground of the desert where the Cave of Wonders once stood, Sonic is still unconscious while his group, Aku-Aku, Coco, and Crunch are trying to wake him)*

Group: Sonic?

*(Froggy and Moonshee croaked and chirped in concern)*

Tails: Hey Sonic, if you're alive, start moaning, buddy.

*(Knuckles, thinking quickly, poked Sonic with his spiked knuckle and Sonic woke up slowly from the pain of the poke)*

Max: Sonic, you're okay!

Tails: Thank goodness.

Sonic: Man, my head. Is everyone alright?

Knuckles: Yeah, we're okay.

Crunch: Though you may want to think of setting up home here.

Coco: Yep.

Aku-Aku: Look.

*(Sonic looked up and sees that the entrance has been sealed in)*

Sonic: We're trapped. That two-faced son of a jackal!

Knuckles: You said it!

Tails: (Sighs) Well, it doesn't matter.

Shadow: Whoever he is, he got away with the lamp.

*(Vector gave a smug smile, much to their confusion)*

Sonic's group: What?

Vector: (Smugly) Oh, really?

*(Vector holds up the lamp, the same lamp that Vanitas just lost and the one Sonic just found)*

Sonic: Heh. You crazy thief.

Vector: (Shrugs) What can I say? I try.

*(Sonic takes the lamp from Vector and looks it over)*

Sonic: I wonder what's so important about this that the guy wanted it so badly.

Knuckles: It looks like a worthless piece of junk to me.

Aku-Aku: Not necessarily.

Sonic's group: (Confused) Hm?

Aku-Aku: There's more to things than meet the eye, you know.

Big: What does that supposed to mean?

*(Then Sonic spotted something on the lamp)*

Sonic: Hey, I see some writing on it. But it's hard to read.

*(Sonic rubs the lamp to clean the writing. But then the lamp begins to shine and everyone jumped back. Suddenly something appeared out of nowhere roaring. When all is clear, the group sees two figures. The first figure is a. And the last figure is a male bandicoot with little bit muscular arms, red fur, a butter yellow underbelly, short dark red spiky emo-like hair, a black nose, brown eyes, dark red ear innards, a silver mechanical left arm and hand, and wearing a white furred shoulder plate on his left shoulder with a gray support belt, black pants with a navy blue armored waistline, black knee-high armored boots, and sometimes wields a navy blue thick-bladed sword with a silver and white handle and red orange Wumpa fruit outlines on both sides of the blade. As they appeared, the first male bandicoot held his neck in pain while the second male bandicoot groaned calmly)*

Mobian crocodile: (Groans in pain) Ten thousand years will give ya such a crick in the neck. Hang on, will ya?

*(The Mobian crocodile magically hangs Sonic on a nearby rock. To everyone's surprise, the Mobian crocodile takes his head off and spins it around while yelling. Then he puts his head back down. Tails, Knuckles, and Chip then helped a confused Sonic down while Marahute, who helped as well, got calmly happy, as if she knew the Mobian crocodile)*

Mobian crocodile: Does it feel to be out of there?!

*(Suddenly the goofy dragon makes a microphone appear and the cave turned into some sort of talk show)*

Mobian crocodile: (To the group) Hi folks! Great to be back at last! *(To Sonic)* Hey kid. Where ya from? What's your name?

*(He holds the microphone to Sonic)*

Sonic: Uh.... Sonic.

Mobian crocodile: Sonic!

*(A neon light appears above with Sonic's name lighting up with chase lights. Even the sign changed to reflect the Mobian crocodile's next line)*

Mobian crocodile: Sonic! Welcome to the show! Do you want to be Son? Or Nic? Or how about Laddie?

*(The Mobian crocodile suddenly turns into a green dog wearing a kilt)*

Mobian crocodile: Like "Here boy. Come on Laddie!"

*(Sonic's group got confused even more)*

Sonic: I must have hit my head harder than I thought.

Knuckles: I didn't and I still don't believe this.

Mobian crocodile: Don't mind if I smoke, right?

*(The Mobian crocodile then explodes into smoke and then reappeared, giggling, making Chip jumped back)*

Vector: You nearly gave me a heart attack!

Male bandicoot 2: Sorry about that.

Male bandicoot 1: Hope I didn't mess the scales.

*(The male bandicoots noticed Aku-Aku, Coco, and Crunch and they happily greeted each other)*

Male bandicoots: Hey, guys!

Crunch: Hey, old friends!

Coco: Hey, big brother.

*(They hug each other for a bit)*

Male bandicoot 1: Great to see you again!

Male bandicoot 2: How's everything?

Coco: The usual.

Crunch: Yeah.

Aku-Aku: Until Sonic and his friends showed up.

Male bandicoot 2: Ah, okay. We know Sonic's name already.

Male bandicoot 1: What about the rest?

Tails: My name is Miles Prower, but you can call me Tails.

Knuckles: I'm Knuckles the Echidna.

Shadow: Shadow. Shadow the Hedgehog.

Silver: Mine's Silver the Hedgehog.

Max: And my name is Max the Wolf.

*(Then the first male bandicoot noticed how big Sonic is)*

Male bandicoot 1: Say, you look bigger than our last master. Or maybe because I'm shrinking. *(Looks at himself)* Am I getting really, really small to you?

Shadow: No, you're always small.

Silver: And you know Aku-Aku, Coco, and Crunch?

Male bandicoots: Yes!

Male bandicoot 2: Coco is my girlfriend.

Male bandicoot 1: And my little sister.

*(They looked at Coco)*

Coco: It's true.

Crunch: They're related.

Aku-Aku: Of flesh and blood.

Male bandicoot 1: And besides, Sonic here rubbed the lamp, and now he is the master of the two of...!

Knuckles: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You said "Master?"

Sonic: I'm your master?

*(The Mobian crocodile slaps a diploma in Sonic's hand and a mortarboard on his head)*

Mobian crocodile: That's right! You graduated! So what do you want from me?

*(The Mobian crocodile transforms into Arnold Scwharzenneger)*

Mobian crocodile: (Imitating Arnold Schwarzenegger) The ever impressive....

*(The Mobian crocodile puts himself in a cube)*

Mobian crocodile: (Straining in normal voice) The long contained....

*(The Mobian crocodile now has a puppet version of himself on his hand)*

Mobian crocodile: (Mouthing the puppet) Often imitated....

*(The Mobian crocodile ditches the puppet)*

Mobian crocodile: But never duplicated...

*(The group watches as the Mobian crocodile makes clones of himself while spinning around, repeating "Duplicated" until it ended. The Mobian crocodile then makes an announcement like a ring announcer)*

Male bandicoot 1: Crash Bandicoot...!

Male bandicoot 2: And Sombra Bandicoot...!

*(The male bandicoots, now revealed to be Crash and Sombra, finished their announcement)*

Crash and Sombra: Of the lamp!

*(Crash then transforms into Ed Sullivan as Sombra and the Crash and Sombra clones applauded for him)*

Crash: (Imitating Ed Sullivan) Right here direct from the lamp, right here for your enjoyment wish fulfillment. Thank youuuuu!

Sonic's group: Wait. Wait.

Sonic: "Wish fulfillment?"

*(Vector changes back to normal and his clones vanished)*

Vector: (Normal voice) That's right! I can grant you three wishes. And you cannot wish for any more wishes.

*(Vector then turns into a slot machine, pulls his arm down like a lever, and three mini Vectors appeared in the windows)*

Mini Vectors: Three!

*(The mini Vectors came out of the slot wearing sombreros speaking Spanish)*

Mini Vectors: *Uno*, *dos*, *tres*.

*(Vector then turns into Groucho Marx and walked by the group)*

Vector: (Imitating Groucho Marx) No copies, exchanges, or refunds.

*(Then Vector appeared hanging on a rope as a duck holding the sign "Refunds")*

Knuckles: (Chuckling a bit) Are you sure that I am not the one dreaming, guys?

Sonic and Tails: I guess.

Vector: Master, I think you should realize what I got for you here. So why don't you just ruminate, whilst I illuminate the possibilities.

*(Then Vector began singing)*

Vector: **Well Ali-Baba had them forty thieves**

*(The forty thieves appeared with swords and surrounded Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles)*

Vector: **Scheherazade had a thousand tales**

*(Suddenly, Vector appeared next to Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles)*

Vector: **But Master, you in luck because up your sleeve**

**You got a brand of magic that never fails**

*(Vector then sticks his arms out and punches the thieves away. Next, Sonic is in a boxing ring, being massaged by Vector)*

Vector: **You got some power in your corner now**

**Some heavy ammunition in your camp**

*(Vector turned into fireworks and exploded like crazy)*

Vector: **You got some punch, pizzazz**

**See all you gotta do is rub that lamp**

*(Vector appears from the lamp, grabs Sonic's hand, and made him rub the lamp)*

Vector: **And I'll say**

**"Mister Sonic, Sir**

**What will your pleasure be?"**

*(Sonic's group then find themselves at a table and chairs that appeared out of thin air, with Vector writing things on a notepad like a waiter)*

Vector: **Let me take your order, jot it down**

**You ain't never had some friends like us**

**No no no**

**Life is your restaurant**

**And I'm your maitre' d**

*(Vector gives a dish to Sonic. When Sonic removes the lid, he jumps back as he sees Vector turning into chicken. Vector then turns back to normal but blows his body up)*

Vector: **C'mon, whisper what it is you want**

**You ain't never had some friends like us**

*(Vector now became four Vectors giving Sonic a shave, haircut, and manicure)*

Vector: **Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service**

**You're the boss, the king, the shah**

*(Sonic's group is now in big chairs, surrounded by treasure and women fanning them as Marahute sat nearby, smiling softly)*

Vector: **Say what you wish**

**It's yours, true dish**

**How about a little more Baklava?**

*(Vector now dumps a bunch of baklava all over everyone. Sonic's group is now seen jumping from column A to column B)*

Vector: **Try some of column A**

**Try all of column B**

*(Sonic's group fell but luckily they fell on a custom, courtesy of a big Vector)*

Vector: **I'm in the mood to help you dude**

*(Vector opens his mouth and his tongue turns into stairs. A mini Vector came out dressed like a magician)*

Vector: **You ain't never had some friends like us**

*(The little Vector then begins to dance with the big Vector's hands, scatting a bit. They are soon done and squashed the little Vector into nothing. Then he reappeared next to Sonic's group)*

Vector: **Can your friends do this?**

*(Vector takes his head off, makes copies of it, and spins them around)*

Vector: **Can your friends do that?**

*(Vector tosses the heads to Sonic who juggles them with a light smirk on his face. He spins them like a basketball before giving them back to Vector. Vector then tries to pull himself out of a hat)*

Vector: **Can your friends pull this**

**Out their little hat?**

*(Vector then turns into a green rabbit, then a giant green dragon)*

Vector: **Can your friends go poof**

*(Vector spits out flames which then turned into three cute girls dancing around Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, much to their delight)*

Vector: **Well looky here**

*(He chuckles a bit)*

Vector: **Can your friends go "Abracadabra," "Let 'er rip"**

**And then make the sucker disappear?**

*(Sonic's group's delight turned into annoyance as the girls disappeared after dancing around. Vector then imitated Sonic's group, so to speak)*

Vector: **So don't you sit there slack jawed, buggy eyed**

**I'm here to answer all your midday prayers**

*(Vector turns into a certificate and rolls up, surrounding Sonic)*

Vector: **You got me bonafide, certified**

**You got a genie for a charge d'affairs**

**I got a powerful urge to help you out**

**So what you wish I really want to know**

*(Vector removes a list of different languages out of Sonic's ear and uses it to dry himself off like he just stepped out of the shower)*

Vector: **You got a wish that's three miles long, no doubt**

**So all you gotta do is rub like so**

**And oh**

**Mister Sonic, Sir, have a wish or two or three**

*(A bunch of guys appeared and bowed to Sonic's group before disappearing. The same three dancing girls appeared and smiled softly. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles smiled softly and leaned to kiss each girl, but the girls turned into Vector, who giggles, much to Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles' alarm)*

Vector: **I'm on the job, you big nabob**

**You ain't never had some friends, never had some friends**

*(Vector then made four dancing elephants appear)*

Vector: **You ain't never had some friends, never had some friends**

*(Four dancing camels then appeared as the big finale begins)*

Vector: **You ain't never**

**Had some**

**Friends**

**Like**

**Us**

*(Soon the big finale is about to end. Vector grabs a few treasure)*

Crash and Sombra: **You ain't never had some friends like us**

*(Vector turns into a cyclone to wrap the song up and everything disappeared. Even the treasure Chip has been collecting. The cave is once again empty except for everyone and a neon "Applause" sign Vector put on the wall, making Tails applaud a bit)*

Coco: Bravo, Crash and Sombra!

Aku-Aku: That was wonderful as usual!

*(Vector noticed the treasure he collected is gone and then pouted a bit)*

Vector: (Pouting) Great.

Sombra: (To Sonic) So, what'll it be, Master?

Crash: Name it.

Sonic: So, Crash and Sombra, I get any wishes I want?

Sombra: Well, not really. *(Imitating William Buckley)* There are some provisos, a couple of quid pro quos. *(In normal voice)* In other words, limitations.

Coco: Yep.

Aku-Aku: There are some wishes Crash and Sombra cannot grant no matter how much you want them.

Sonic's group: Like what?

Crash: There are three rules on the wish granting.

Sonic's group: Three rules?

Crunch: (To Crash and Sombra) Tell them.

*(Crash sat next to them)*

Crash: Rule number one; Sombra and I can't kill anyone.

*(Crash "Cuts" his head off and holds it in one hand)*

Vector: So don't ask. Rule number two...!

*(Vector puts his head back on as he continued)*

Vector: I can't make someone fall in love with someone else.

*(Vector's head turns into a pair of lips which kissed Sonic sweetly before turning back to normal while Sombra rolled his eyes with a chuckle)*

Crash: (Cooing) You are so cute.

*(Then he fell flat on his back)*

Crash: Rule number three...!

*(Next, Crash turns into a green ghostly figure, which got up and freaked out Sonic's group a bit)*

Crash: (Imitating Peter Lorre) I cannot bring people back from the dead. It's not a pretty picture! *(Grabs and shakes Tails)* I don't like doing it!

*(Crash turns back to normal and smiles softly with Sombra)*

Crash: Other than that, you got it.

Sombra: At your service.

*(They bow to Sonic, covering their faces with his hands. Sonic's group paused to think, then they smirked playfully, having an idea)*

Knuckles: Provisos?

Tails: Like limits on stuff including wishes?

Chip: (Scoffs) He's a faker!

Sonic: Some all-powerful genie he is!

*(Vector frowns at this as Sonic's group began to walk away)*

Knuckles: Can't even bring people back from the dead.

Tails: I guess he can't get us out of here either.

Sonic: Well, I guess we should go find another way out.

*(Before Sonic's group could get further, Crash puts his foot out, a literally giant one, that is, blocking the way, ticked off while Sombra was calmly surprised along with Aku-Aku, Coco, and Crunch)*

Crash: (Imitating Robert de Niro) Excuse me? Did you rub our lamp, did you bring our here, and all of the sudden, you're gonna walk out on us?!

*(Sonic's group looked amused as Crash continues to get ticked off)*

Crash: I don't think so! Not when Sombra and I are around! You're getting your wishes, so sit down!

Coco: Boy, you made him mad.

Crunch: Aw, don't worry.

Sombra: We get used to it.

Crunch: Yep.

*(Then as everyone seated in Coco's Gummi Ship, Crash landed next to them, happy again, and acted like a steward of a plane)*

Crash: (Imitating a steward) In case of emergencies, the exit is here, here, here, here, here, everywhere!

*(Crash points out a bunch of exits with a bunch of arms then reverted to normal)*

Crash: (Normal voice) So folks, keep your arms, legs, and everything inside the flight at all times! We're outta here!

*(Then the group flew up to the ceiling very fast and managed to explode out right back into the desert, flying off while escaping. Back at the palace, Xehanort's group, with Vanitas back in his main attire, is in the throne room, getting scolded by an upset Mario, Peach, Luigi, and Daisy with Amy's group, back in their daytime clothes, next to Mario, Peach, Luigi, and Daisy)*

Cloud: Vanitas' group, of all the things you have done, this is the lowest you have ever done!

Aerith: If it weren't for the fact that you were loyal to us all these years.... *(Sighs a bit)* Well, from now on, talk to me and Cloud about the prisoners before they are beheaded!

Steelbeak: We apologize, you're majesties.

Vanitas: It won't happen again.

Don Karnage: We were only trying to keep the princesses safe, that's all.

Cloud: For your sake, it better not happen again.

*(Cloud and Aerith then brings an upset Sally, Cosmo, and Amy over to Vanitas' group)*

Aerith: Now then, I want this whole thing behind us.

Cloud: And we can forgive and forget.

Aerith: Please?

Steelbeak: Again, accept our humble apologizes.

*(Steelbeak takes Amy’s hand in an attempt to kiss it but Amy angrily pulled it back)*

Amy: (Bitterly) Fine, whatever.

Cosmo: (Angrily) Well, at least one good thing comes out of us finding a husband.

Sally: When Cosmo, Amy, and I are queens, we will have the power to get rid of you.

*(Sally, Cosmo, and Amy stormed out then)*

Cloud: Well, now that's settled.

Aerith: Girls, it's time go back to finding you proper suitors.

Cloud: Uh, girls?

*(Cloud and Aerith looked up and see that Sally, Cosmo, and Amy are leaving the room. They go after them)*

Cloud and Aerith: Girls!

*(When they were gone, Vanitas scowls angrily along with his group)*

Vanitas: Oh, if only I have gotten that lamp!

Megavolt: Well, you didn't!

Negaduck: All on account of you dropping it in the cave by accident.

Xehanort: Which we didn't expect.

Quackerjack: (Imitating Amy) My sisters, cousins, and I will have the power to get rid of you. *(Normal voice, in anger)* Terrific! Now we got to continue kissing up to those fools, and their fool daughters for the rest of eternity...!

*(Vanitas' group and their henchmen head to a outside balcony to see Cloud and Aerith speaking with Sally, Cosmo, and Amy with Vanilla, Balto, and Jenna watching them, bored-like, Sally's group that is)*

Xehanort: No, Quackerjack.

Meowth: It's not until they find the fool husbands.

Steelbeak: Then they will banish us. *(Gasps)* Or behead us!

*(The bumbling villains shuddered at that idea)*

Bushroot: That is pretty gross.

James: And unpleasant.

*(Meowth brightens up suddenly)*

Meowth: Wait, wait, wait. I got an idea!

Jessie: (Flatly) Why am I not surprised.

Meowth: (Ignoring Jessie) Maybe you can be the fool husbands.

Xehanort's group: (Confused) What?

James: He means that you marry the princesses.

Jessie: (Realizing) And then you will be the new sultans of Agrabah.

Liquidator: Indeed!

Negaduck: What do you think of that?

*(Xehanort's group thought about this and smirked evilly at the idea)*

Ratigan: I see where you're getting at.

*(They go to the throne and sits down)*

Drake: Marry the shrews.

Vanitas: We become rulers.

Xehanort: This idea is merit.

Megavolt: Yep! Merit.

Meowth: Then later, we can drop Mamas-in-law, Papas-in-law, and the little ones off a cliff.

*(He pretends to fall screaming a bit)*

Meowth: (Landing on the floor) Ker-splat!

Xehanort: (Chuckles evilly a bit) Meowth, I love how your sinister mind works.

Xehanort's group: Indeed!

*(Then the villains laughed evilly a bit as they begin their scheme)*

***Coming up: Upon arrival at an oasis, Sonic makes his first wish to Crash and Sombra to make him and his friends princes to help win Amy's group's hearts and marry them. Then they arrive as the princes, much to the delight of Mario, Peach, Luigi, and Daisy, the disgust of Amy's group, and the suspicions of Xehanort's group and their henchmen.***
