EP 4: Mushu makes it Hot.

Mushu was having a bit of a problem today, and that, in his opinion, was the worst thing that can ever happen to him. He found himself with Aqua and Dr. Rai who was checking him for any signs of sickness or such that was distracting him. You see, it all started that he woke up this morning and when he tried to help out in warming up the fireplace in the Library, to his shock, he couldn't even breathe fire. Just a tiny speck of coal. Concerned and being in the room at the time, Aqua brought the distraughted little dragon to the Medical.

"Hmm...There doesn't seem to be anything wrong." Shalua finally said, shrugging a little helplessly, "The only thing I can think of is possible stress, or anxiety attack."

"Mushu, has something been stressing you lately?" Aqua asked worriedly to her friend, just to make sure.

Mushu shrugged, just as helplessly as the two women. "I have no idea what's causing all of this! Yesterday, I was perfectly fine, but this morning, it's like...like I forgot to feel the fire core in me."

"Fire Core?"

"Of course. Every dragon has a Fire Core to breathe fire that is one of the ultimate powers of the dragon-kind." Mushu explained, proudly at first before asking in slight annoyance, "I mean, seriously. Where do you think our fire powers really come from; our stomachs?"

"I guess it makes sense." Aqua replied, now that she thought about it.

Shalua on the other hand, frowned deepily about what she had heard before saying, "Well, if that's the case, then perhaps something is preventing your fire core from reacting normally. Unfortunately, I have no idea what's causing this to really happen."

Hearing this made Mushu shocked and devastated as he began to panic, "That's just great! If I can't fix this up, I'm doomed! And if I can't breathe fire, I'm more than useless!"

"My suggestion would be you try practicing to breathe fire again and get the hang of it. Also, try not to get too stressed out. Stress is very unhealthy." Shalua finally advised.

"She's right. Come on, let's find Ven and the others. I'm sure we'll find something to calm you down." Aqua suggested, picking up Mushu and holding him in her arms.

"Yeah, alright. But just so you know, if anybody's gonna give me extra stress, it's Bird-Brain." Mushu grumbled, folding his arms to his chest.


Turns out Mushu's lack of Fire Core wasn't the only thing that was the problem today. The entire town of Radiant City was having the very same issue of something differen that was extremely serious. Ven, Terra, Lea, Isa, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Melody, Iago and Minnie were in Terra's Apartment room, with Genie who had turned himself into a plumber and was trying to unscrew the tab of the kitchen sink, pulled it out, but no water came gushing out.

Next, he digged through the sink hole, going magically half down the drain before coming back up, having pulled out...a tea pot? Genie shrugged before tossing it aside before turning on the tap again. Like before, not water came out, except for a single, pathetic little drop that landed in the sink with a 'plop'.

"Nope. And since this the third sink I've checked, it's safe to say that..." Genie paused dramatically, "...We're out of water."

The students and Iago all shared shocked and horrified glances at the news. If there was no water, something must be wrong somewhere. Maybe the Water Facilities were having mechanical problems?

"What're we gonna do? Without water, we'll dry up to death!" Goofy cried out, hysterically.

"You mean die of thirst?" Donald corrected in annoyance.

"Oh, uh, right! Ay-yhuck!" Goofy realised, shaking his head.

"I guess we'll have to wait 'till the facilities fix 'em up." Mickey thought, lost on how else the problem can be fixed.

"Yeah, but the juice and milkshake supplies are pretty much out too." Terra pointed out, "And these sort of things can probably take up about a week to get fixed."

"Not to worry! I'll fix that problem." Genie declared, before admitting as he brought out a book out of nowhere and flipped through the pages until he found what he was looking for, "Or, we can go to the old fashioned Pumping Station created by the now extinct gummi bears to look for the problem!"

"Gummi bears?" Iago rolled his eyes in annoyed disbelief. "So what were these bears made out of? Actual gummis from the sweet factory?"

Lea quirked a skeptical eye-brow, "I thought the whole Gummi-Bear thing was just a kids fairytale. Seriously, there's no way in a million years those guys were actually real and that some of 'em helped save a kingdom in the medieval times."

"I agree. Sure, we'd seen lots of un-normal things for almost two years, but that's just beyond ridiculous." Isa nodded in agreement, while the door was knocked from the others and Terra approached it to open it, revealing Aqua and a miserable looking Mushu.

"Oh, hey, guys. Come on in." Terra gestured, allowing his girlfriend and the dragon in.

"What's going on in here?" Aqua asked, concerned even more.

"The water's stopped and we're trying to figure out the cause of this." Ven answered, "Genie thinks the cause of this is at this old fashioned Pumping Station rather than the Water Facilities being down."

"Oh, great." Mushu said sarcastically, "First my fire's out and now the water's out! What's next, the electricity going out!?"

"If it goes out in the next second or two, it's your fault, pal!" Iago warned at the dragon who glared back at him.

The dragon rolled his eyes and said, "Hey, I'm tryin' to get my stress levels down if I wanna get back into the heat of my Fire Core, and you're not helping matters."

"Fire Core?" Ven asked, confused.

"It's what inside all fire breathing dragons that gives them the power to breathe fire." Aqua explained, "But Mushu can't feel it right now. Dr. Rai suggested that he keeps his stress levels down and start training calmly to get it back."

"Oh, you poor thing." Minnie said with sympathy to Mushu, "That's terrible."

"Oh, Mushu. I hope you'll be able to get better." Melody added.

Mushu sniffled, "Yeah, but it's easier said than done. Now with this other problem going on, this is only just the beginning of another disaster."

"Aw, I wish we could help." Mickey said while rubbing his friend's back, feeling very sorry for poor Mushu.

"Genie, is there a way to help Mushu with his problem?" Ven asked.

The magical being shrugged, "I could help, but I think my magic would probably only make things worse. Fire Cores must be felt by the heart of the dragons. Kinda like how you must focus on the magical core within you to control magic, and this neglates on everyone that has such a core; like genies, sorcerers, wizards, witches, and even you with your Emerald Sword, Ven."

"So that's where you went wrong with that head of yours; you've been focusing too much on your magical core to even focus on using your mind skills." Iago rolled his eyes at this comment. "No wonder half of the time you randomly do things stupidly!"

"I think we should worry about the water problem first before we worry about how cores in everything and everyone works out or whatever." Lea pointed out, "Sure, I wanna help Mushu with his problem, but, if that's gonna take a while, I'd like to have something to drink while we're at it. Even if this Pump Station the 'Gummi-Bears' made is the stupidest thing I've ever heard."

Lea had made the gesture of quoting 'Gummi-Bears' with two fingers with his hands.

"But the place could be anywhere." Donald pointed out with a shrug.

"I'm not sayin' that the whole thing is real, but maybe we should at least check it out, just in case it is real or not." The redhead stated.

"Don't tell me we're going on another dangerous adventure." Iago groaned in dismay.

"Oh, come on. It's only a Pump Station. What else can we find there?" Terra pointed out with a single-shoulder shrug.

"Well..." Genie began, sheepishly, "Not sure if they're still real or not, but we might bump into Ogres that live there...or maybe they don't live there anymore. Who knows?"

"The girls stay here 'til we get back. Just in case." Mickey said with seriousness. "I don't wanna risk in somethin' bad happening."

"I'm going with. I know to handle myself, and I don't want to sit here worried about you guys." Aqua told everyone, firmly.

Iago grumbled in defeat, "Yep...I knew this is gonna be another dangerous adventure."


It was decided that Ven, Mickey, Terra, Aqua, Iago, Mushu, Genie, Lea, Isa, Donald and Goofy to travel to the place which, surprisingly, was in the mountains outside of Radiant City that can be seen in the distance. They then split into two teams; Ven, Mickey, Terra, Aqua, Mushu and Genie headed towards the Pump Station following the map in the book, while Lea, Isa, Donald, Goofy and Iago were to stay in the area of the fields to dig into the ground and check the ancient pipes.

"Well, at least Iago isn't with us. It'll keep you calm for now." Aqua assured to Mushu.

"Nice break from that noisy bird for once." Mushu said.

"Hey, is that a waterfall I'm hearing?" Ven wondered as he and everyone else could hear an echoing noise from the cave tunnels they were venturing through, nearing an exit.

Genie nodded, "Mmm-hmm! The Ancient Gummi-Bears made sure that the Pump Station was layed in secret. It's just on the other side of a little waterfall which is what we're hearing."

Well, he was half-right on that. The only thing he was wrong about was the size of the waterfall.

"A little waterfall?" Terra repeated in disbelief. In front of them was two large cliffs that were gapped about a good ten feet apart, the waterfall itself meanwhile, was about fifty feet tall and massive. Down below was a river below with a good 30 feet or higher drop that was a kiss of death.

"I guess they got the size wrong." Genie shrugged, sheepishly.

Mickey then noticed something and stepped carefully closer to the edge of the cliff, before groaning as he picked up a piece of what was left of a rope-bridge. "Oh, no. Looks like this bridge was cut away a while ago."

"Well, how are we gonna get across now?" Mushu asked, dismayed.

"Have no fear, Genie is here!" Genie declared proudly, before turning into a construction worker and made four other duplicates of himself before they all zoomed towards the broken bridge, one of them picking up Mickey and placing him halfway away from the bridge, saying, "Danger zone, son. Stay far back."

Genie and his duplicates quickly got to work in creating a new, stronger and safer, thick, long and wide wooden bridge, connecting it to the sides of the cliffs to make it extra safe, with railing and all until after about maybe three minutes or so, the bridge was completed.

"Call it a day, boys!" Genie told his duplicates who all disappeared one by one in a poof of magic cloud.

"Thanks, Genie." Ven said to his friend, "Makes things easier for now."

"No problem-o, Ven!" Genie saluted, before taking lead onto the new bridge while taking form of a general, "Now, onward, soldiers! Left! Left! Left, right, left!"

"Professional, isn't he?" Mushu smiled as he climbed onto Ven's shoulder while the teen and the others walked onto the new bridge, all of them relieved that it was perfectly solid and they didn't have to worry about anything, even with the wind blowing against them.

Ven chuckled, "I think he'd do well in the ShinRa Army as Captain. Too bad the General thing is Sephiroth's job."

"No, it's because of confidence, and confidence is an important matter." Mushu told him wisely.

"Right. I'll remember that." The spiky-blond-haired sixteen year old nodded, memorizing his friend's advice in his head, as he and the others easily made it to the others before stopping.

"Where to now, Genie?" Aqua inquired.

"It says here that the next location point is a single broken sign." Genie replied, after taking a quick look at the book before glancing up, before gasping in shock which caused him to drop the book as well. "Oh, you gotta be kidding me!"

In front of them was a metal sign, which looked no older than 10 years old, maybe a bit younger. It was painted in ink and written in bold letters.

"The Phantom Blot Territory." Ven read aloud, before repeating in confusion, "The Phantom Blot?"

"Oh, I have of 'im." Mickey muttered, worriedly. "He's a mysterious but notorious criminial that always wears a black cape all over him, you can't even see his eyes, and he only has white eye-holes. He has this thing about Ink. That's why he's called the Phantom Blot."

"Not sure I like the sound of that." Mushu muttered worriedly.

"That means we have to be careful in not to approach him." Aqua said with seriousness.

"Uh...easier said than done." Terra muttered, pointing at the corner left of where he and the others were standing. In a small area clearing, was a blimp that was sitting there. It had a flag that had a picture of...an Ink Blot?

Ven and the others glanced at each other before quickly hiding behind trees, and then slowly made their way towards where Genie was leading while crouched down to avoid in detecting the Blimp or if the Phantom Blot was around. Fortunately, they made it through and were now descending the stairs, though Mushu nearly fell off another cliff of another waterfall.

So the group, with the help of Genie, climbed down via rope and looked around to see any signs of the Pump Station.

"I know that it's around here somewhere." Genie muttered, more to himself than anything else, before turning into a scientist and checked the water nutruils, taking a sip of it and nodded, "Yeeep! This is the right place, everyone."

"Hey, what's this black stuff?" Mushu spoke up suddenly, causing everyone to gather around him and saw what he was looking at. A black blob was on the ground.

"It's Ink." Mickey stated after getting a closer look at it. Soon he and his friends realised that there was another Ink blot on the ground, lead by more and more until the group realised that the trail of the ink blots went right into the doorway of a stone wall.

"Hey, you don't think...the Phantom Blot is behind all of this?" Ven theoried with seriousness.

Genie quickly turned himself into Sherlock Holmes, saying, "Elementary, my dear Ventus. Considering the Blimp around here, the coincendal timing of the water going out, and this Ink Blot trail; This is the case of the Phantom Blot's scheme to dry up Radiant City!"

"I'll burn him into crisp if he is behind all of this!" Mushu grunted, only to groan in annoyance and dismay when as he tried to blow a flame of fire, again, it only came out as a tiny speak of coal. "Not again...!"

"Mushu, I'm sure you'll be able to use your fire again. You just need to be patient." Aqua told him, while still feeling sorry for the dragon.

The group, despite this set back, silently crept into the doorway, which inside was a wooden in-built factory with wood versions of pipes. As Ven and Genie had suspected, the locked door had been blown open by someone...and because of the ink trail, it was becoming more and more clear that the Phantom Blot was here. Genie magically lit up a flaming torch, making Mushu a bit jealous.

As they ventured in, Wooden and old versions of pipes and water-mills, powered by an inside cave Waterfall which they realised powered to the Water Facilties in Radiant Garden.

"You were right, Genie. If this is real, then the Gummi Bears were real too." Ven muttered in amazement.

"I knew it was real!" Genie said, though he was just as amazed as his friends were.

"Wow...so they really build all of this?" Mickey asked, stunned at the entire place. Who would've thought that Gummi-Bears actually build all of this in the medieval times.

"Who would've thought such a place even existed?" Terra muttered as he and Aqua gazed around their surroundings.

Just then, Aqua gasped softly before she pointed up at the watermill right at the waterfall, saying, "I think that's the problem."

The others looked up to see what she was looking at, realising that she was right. A large broken tree trunk was stuck underneath the watermill which caused it to stop moving since it was between the ledge of the cliff. However the Phantom Blot managed to pull this trick off, none of them knew yet, but knew that they had to get rid of the log to get the mill working again.

"So that's what's stoppin' the water." Mickey stated.

"Quite indeed, Mouse." An unfamiliar voice spoke from above, alarming the six friends to try and find the source of the voice.

"Who's there!?" Ven demanded.

"Look!" Mushu cried out, pointing at the cliff above them. Ven, Aqua, Terra, Mickey and Genie followed Mushu's direction and saw, up on a higher wooden pipe, was a fall black-coat like figure that looked like a sleeping-bag costume that was fully black, almost made out of ink, with only white eyes glaring down at them.

"Well, now. What do we have here? Four teenagers, a miniture lizard, and a genie for a group? Ooh, now that's a crowd." The figure mocked, and from the tone of his voice, the group guessed that he was smiling evilly.

The group's eyes narrowed at the new enemy, immediately knowing who he is.

"You must be the Phantom Blot. The one who is causing all the water in our home to stop." Aqua grunted, glaring at the figure.

The Phantom Blot chuckled, "So you know who I am. Very impressive to correctly guess my idenity, young lady. Stay out of my way, if you know what's good for you?"

"Why are you doing this?" Terra demanded.

"Well, I guess I could give you a little information. You see, it's my plot to destroy this old piece of junk so that I can use this oppotunity to get everyone to pay me to 'fix' the problem without doing anywork, so that way all the money in the world will be mine!" The Phantom Blot explained.

But while he was talking, Ven had secretly told Genie to go up to the log and cut it away while he and the others distracted the Phantom Blot as long as possible.

"And cutting away the rope bridge was your doing too?" Mickey inquired with a glare.

To their suprise, the Phantom Blot was confused as they could literally see two question marks appear over his head, before they vanished when he glared at them, saying, "That was not my doing. It's been like that since when I came here."

"That explains the hot-air balloon." Mushu said, sarcastically.

"Well, it's time for me to go." Phantom Blot concluded, before pulling out a remote, adding evilly, "And time for all of you brats become the biggest Ink Blots in history."

Only for not only his remote to be snatched away unexpectedly, but when the Blot turned to see who had snatched it, he heard Genie say, smugly, "Sorry, Mr. Blot!"

"Huh?" Phantom Blot asked, but was shocked to find that Genie had cut away the giant log into wooden blocks and the watermill was working again, powered by the waterfall and spinning.

"Nice one, Genie!" Ven praised.

"Semi-phenomenal, nearly cosmic powers always do the trick!" Genie grinned, proudly.

Exclaimation marks appeared over the Blot's head in shock and horror, before he glared angrily now at not only Genie, but also Ven and his friends, saying to Ven when he knew that the Genie belonged to the boy, "Insolant fool! You and your friends will pay."

Rather than staying and fight, however, the Blot took the cowardly exit and leaped down to the ground, shoving the others below out of the way before running off while Genie quickly flew down to see if Ven, Mickey, Mushu, Aqua and Terra were alright.

"After him!" Aqua cried out, and her friends didn't argue.

Genie quickly materialized Reddy and soon he and the others got on and flew to stop the Phantom Blot who had reached outside and to their shock and horror, he had a bomb that would cave in the entrance of the Pump Station. Genie quickly used his magic to turn it into a cardboard box, much to the Blot's shock. None the less, he pulled out a jet pack and used it to fly off back to where he left his blimp, leaving a trail of dust that unfortunately slowed Ven and his friends down.

By the time the dust cleared, the group saw that the Blot had already started up the Blimp and had began to float away, towards where they had came from. The group immediately charged, not willing to let him escape before Mickey had an idea.

"The Blot's probably gonna use the bridge if we get rid of this balloon. You fellas head back. I'll catch up!" Mickey told his friends, and once they were close enough, he leaped onto it while using the rolled up sticky-tape he brought with just in case, using it to stick to the side and using it as a rope while his friends, despite their protests, told him to be careful. "Good luck, guys."

"Good bye, you mean." The Phantom Blot suddenly appeared down the rope-ladder beside Mickey who was startled. "Ooh, I like the sound of that."

With that, the Blot kicked Mickey who spun around and around, and used this to his advantage to spin faster and faster around the Blot, turning him into a mummy stuck on the rope-ladder. The Blot escapes though and appeared above Mickey all of the sudden who dodged his attempts to body-slam him and tucked away the tape while hanging onto the ladder, with the Blot nearly falling off before grabbing it again. The Blot tried to punch Mickey who cheekily dodged his attempts, all the while the Blimp just floated on it's own all over the place.


Meanwhile, Ven, Genie, Aqua, Terra and Mushu made back to the other side of the Bridge before Genie made the attempt to saw the bridge into pieces, only to accidently catapault himself backwards and into the wall, comically crumbling into pieces and unconscious.

"Genie!" Ven cried out, worriedly.

"We have to do something and fast to cut the bridge." Aqua said, worriedly.

"And make sure Mickey's okay." Terra added.

Despite the concern that he may still be able to use his Fire Core, Mushu knew that he had to be everyone's only hope left, saying with determination, "Maybe I can burn the bridge with my fire!"

"But...your Fire Core!" Aqua pointed out.

"I gotta at least try!"

"He's right!" Ven nodded in agreement.

"Is Mickey coming over yet?" Mushu asked, getting himself prepared, and tried some reflexing and twists to get himself ready.

As Ven and the others looked up, the Blimp just came into view from behind the mountain and trees, as Mickey had climbed up using Double-sticked tape underneath his shoes to help him literally walk into the roof of the balloon, much the Phantom Blot's dumbfoundment. None the less, the villian somehow managed to beat him to it. None the less, the determined Mickey Mouse used the tape as a weapon, tossing it and tying the Blot's legs cowboy style, pulled him hard onto the floor.

The impact caused the Blot to be seeing stars and hearing birds briefly. Mickey then ran on top of him before allowing the villian to chase him around and around and around until he tricked the Blot twice by strapping the tape around the podium and using to swing under and over the blimp on both sides, kicking the Blot on the bottom twice as he went.

"I think so...yeah! You better start!" Ven quickly said, while Mickey was busy fighting the Blot.

Mushu tried, he really did. But the Fire Core wasn't working, and he couldn't even think properly with so many things going on in his head. It wasn't until Aqua bend to him.

"Mushu, calm down. Forget what's going on for a moment. Try and concentrate." She advised him once she realised that it was distractions and stress that was causing Mushu's Fire Core to not work, Terra was busy putting Genie back together-literally.

"Forget distractions, and concentrace." Mushu repeated, before realising what his friend was getting at and instead focused on the fire within the Fire Core. The more he thought about the fire, the more he could feel the familiar warmth within him, and then, he let it all out, unleashing an impressive line of fire right into the bridge which was soon quickly engulfed.

Mushu couldn't believe it. He did it! He regained the power of his Fire Core!

"You did it!" Ven cheered.

"I knew you could." Aqua said with relief.

"I did...Yeah, I'm back, baby!" Mushu cheered happily.


Mickey in the meantime, suddenly realised he used up all of the tape on the item which was now rendered empty. Realising his mistake, he quickly grabbed onto the last bottom of the tape-rope while the roller was falling down into the river of the waterfall below. He then looked up when he heard a noise and to his horror, the Blot was out leaning out from the open window of the blimp, with a pair of sissors, ready to cut the tape that would force Mickey to fall to his death.

"Any last words, Mouse?" The Phantom Blot inquired evilly.

The teenaged Mouse panicked a little, until he noticed something that would make him let go anyway, and that he knew that it would stop the villian at the same time.

"Yep! S'long!" Mickey waved, before letting go and fell.

'Huh?' The Blot thought in confusion. Why did Mickey willing let go? And what was that mouse looking at? But when he did look to see, he gapped in horror as he realised too late that his Blimp was heading right towards the top of the mountain. Too late to go to the cockpit, the blimp was tilted downward when it hit the top of the mountain and due to the Blimp's engine, it sped downward towards the river and ground with the Blot in it. The entire vessel exploded the moment it crashed into part of the shore and part into the river.

Mickey, however, was in for another problem. He fell screaming, panicking as he silently pleaded for anyone to help him. Just as he thought he was doomed, Ven, Aqua, Terra, Mushu and Genie suddenly appeared on Reddy, as both Ven and Terra caught Mickey by the arms and pulled him to safety.

"Thanks, fellas! Thought I was a goner for a moment there." Mickey said to his friends.

"It's what friends do." Ven reminded with a smirk.

The group shared a laugh before gazing down at the river, relieved that they just solved the problem and stopped another villian from harming Radiant City. Now the water should be flowing normally through out the town.


While all of this was happening, in the field area not too far from the Pump Station site, Lea, Isa, Donald and Goofy had digged into the ground to find the old fashioned wooden pipes, and Goofy and Isa both voulenteered to check it despite not having much of plumbing skills.

"You guys see anythin'?" Lea called out to the duo as he, Donald and an annoyed Iago knelt from the edge of the hole that was dug up.

"Hmmm...Not sure." Goofy muttered, using a stethoscope he brought with to listen for anything as though trying to listen for the pipe's heart-beat or something. "I can't hear any beating from it."

Isa rolled his eyes while continously looking for a blockage or something within the pipe itself, "Good grief, it's a pipe, not a person or animal with a heart. What's it gonna do; gush up water with a single tap or two to suddenly feel better?" while using a wrech to demostrate slightly.

Not even a second the words escaped from his lips when suddenly Isa and Goofy were both engulfed by a huge gush of water came spewing from the pipe and through it at the same time. The hole was quickly flooded right to the top, and the two teenagers hurriedly tried to swim themselves out. Fortunately, Lea and Donald both hurriedly pulled their nearly-drowned friends out and onto dry land.

"Are you okay?" Donald asked, worriedly.

"Y-*Cough, cough*Yeah. Just took an unexpected dip." Isa replied sarcastically, dripping wet.

Goofy, while squeezing water out from his hat, said to the blue-haired teen, "Hey, ya' just fixed the water system, Isa. Ay-yhuck!"

"I did?" Isa blinked, skeptically.

Lea chuckled, "Don't know how you managed it, man. But ya' fixed the problem."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Iago interrupted, "Can we just cover this mess up so can we get the heck outta here already!?"

"Yeah, yeah. Hold your horses." Lea rolled his eyes.


By the time the four students and Iago who was forced to help this time were done patching up the ground, Ven's group had arrived, their mission completed as well.

"Hey guys." Ven greeted, as he and the others got off Reddy. "You won't believe what happened with us!"

"Yeah, well, you won't believe what happened here either." Lea shrugged, "Somehow, Isa managed to fix the pipe."

"What!?" Mushu and Genie both exclaimed, shocked and annoyed.

"Lea, I don't think I had anything to do with it, for the 14th time already." Isa shook his head.

The redhead shrugged again, "Well, you must've. Or how else did you and Goof' nearly drowned when the water came gushing through?"

"Lea, it was because Genie's the one who fixed it." Aqua scolded slightly in annoyance. "It was caused by a log stopping the water from flowing."

"Wait, what?" Lea asked, eyes wide in confused shock.

"And Mushu got his Fire Core back." Mickey added, smiling. "It's a long story."

"Really?" Iago began, approaching the dragon, "Well, y'know, Dragon-Boy. You're lucky things worked out today."

As the parrot spoke, he was completely unaware that his attitude was only aggrivating Mushu who began to growl in sheer annoyance and anger. That's it. That crossed the line.

"I told you not to let things get to you for the past year and a half." Iago continued, completely oblivious as he turned his back to the dragon, "But would you listen to me? Noooo."

"Okay...that does it!" Mushu growled, his nostrils beginning to steam with smoke, as he angrily stomped towards Iago who now noticed the dragon's anger and quickly began to worry.

"Wait, Mushu. What are you doing?" Iago asked, worriedly, backing up scaredly until he realised that he is the one that gives the dragon stress almost constantly, like today for example. He just crossed the line this time, and now he was about to get the taste of flames.

"Calm down." The parrot scaredly advised, before admitting in hopes for forgiveness, "Okay, it was my fault! I'm the one who made you stressed and lose control!"

None the less, Mushu unleashed a large ball of fire right at Iago who was forced to fly upwards, forced into the sky and the flames right at his tail, with the bird screaming, "I'm sorry! There, I said it! Put it out!"

But Mushu didn't stop, and further to Iago's dismay, everyone else didn't interfere. They just watched Iago slowly disappear into the sky, while knowing that he'll be fine and be back. His diginity, however, was questionable.

"Mushuuuuuuuuuu!" Iago yelled which trailed off the moment the flames stopped, but he didn't stop.

They managed to retrieve Iago who learned his lesson not to anger or annoy Mushu anymore than he needs to, before returning home to Radiant City and Ven and Terra called the Turks to retrieve and arrest the Phantom Blot who survived but was put into jail.

Despite things had returned to normal for the students of Radiant Academy, who knows when the next adventure will be or what will happen next. Only time will tell.

To be Continued...
