"Okay, so we're going to need some battle plans," Larry explained to the group as he laid the maps on a nearby rock wall. The characters most associated with warfare were on his sides, peering over his shoulders. "Before we actually attack any evil villains, we're going to need to get some recruits. I'll need a few leaders to take some squads and go to each park."

However, before anyone could volunteer, the loudspeaker for the park buzzed on obnoxiously. The drawn out sound of asthmatic breathing could be heard over the speakers and Luke shuddered at the sound of Darth Vader. His breathing gave him away before he even began to speak.

"I know what you are planning," he rumbled. "You wish to reclaim what is ours now. I'm afraid that we, the glorious forces of evil, will have to destroy you before you come even close to the end of your mission." His voice boomed over the speakers. "Trust me when I tell you your friends are nowhere in this park. Do not waste your time here."

Larry's jaw was clenched. It was virtually impossible to find out where Vader was based only on the speaker message, as you could access the speakers from any park. Some of the weaker characters looked just plain scared as the villain's voice rumbled through the entire park.

"If you choose to fight, we will destroy you. This is my final warning." The breathing stopped and the park seemed dead with silence. Larry found it disconcerting that the parks could be so busy in the day and so dreary at night.

"Maybe this isn't such a good idea," the Cowardly Lion roared timidly. Some of the others nodded their heads in a frightened agreement.

"Hey guys," Larry shouted over the sudden uproar of negatives. "Don't you remember your own stories, how they end?" The group got quite all of a sudden, and some of the women blushed.

"No, we don't actually," Jane Banks from Mary Poppins spoke up quietly. "Our memories only go as far as when our statues, or paintings or figures were made. For instance, I can't recall anything after I go on the roof and dance with the Chimney sweepers."

"Last thing I remember is coming to Yavin 4 after escaping from the Death Star with these guys," Luke pointed to his friends. They nodded in confirmation.

"I don't remember anything after arriving in Cairo," Indy shrugged.

"Ani-mal! Ani-mal!" Animal chanted.

"He just said that he doesn't remember anything at all," Kermit supplied. "But it's Animal, so that's pretty normal." The rest of the Muppets agreed and Larry just stared down at them in awe as they shook their heads comically.

"Okay," he said, a tad confused. "Well, prepare yourselves for some pretty major spoilers here, because I'm going to tell you all why you should be brave and help me." He turned to Jane, the first to talk. "You, sweetie, regain your relationship with your father." She smiled brilliantly and Larry turned to the Star Wars cast.

"Luke, you help to save the Alliance and restore peace. Well, you all do actually. But you become a Jedi and marry someone someday." Luke brightened and his eyes glanced towards Leia, a look that almost made Larry want to throw up. "Uh, someone else. Dude, you're twins." Luke blushed, hard. Han let out a loud laugh and clapped him on the shoulder. Even Leia smiled in relief.

"Who are our parents?" Leia asked curiously.

Larry remembered the earlier fight and chose to keep the information to himself. "I don't remember," he added hastily before turning to Han. Nick, who disapproved of his dad's decision, glared at his back.

"Yeah, you marry the princess," he told the cocksure smuggler.

The look on his face was simply priceless, and the princesses too. This time it was Luke's turn to laugh as the couple to be shifted uncomfortably and looked around in embarrassment.

Indiana was softly chuckling at the events when Larry turned to him. "You marry Marion and get the ark back from the Nazis." Indiana took it much differently from his lookalike, putting a proud arm around his girl and smiling down at her.

"That doesn't sound too bad," he gave her a lopsided grin. She smiled back and snuggled into his shoulder contentedly. Larry rolled his eyes and continued.

"So many of you have so much potential! Who cares if you don't know how your stories end? Make up your own! One way you all can show your bravery tonight is by fighting these bad guys with me. So many kids look up to you all, millions and millions all around the world. Show them now why they believe in you, why they pretend to be like you, why they want to be you. So what if the world doesn't see it? Trust me, they'll feel grateful. You're not only saving yourselves but the entire world here! Who knows what kind of damage the tablet can do if not in proper hands? I need your help. I believe in all of you." After he finished his epic speech, he just glanced at everyone, circling around them all.

"What do we need to do?" asked Han tiredly.

Larry smiled. "Well, we need to split into three teams. These teams will go to each of the parks and rally recruits. That, and see if you can find out where my friends are so we can all get this over with. You'll have to be very careful because there are probably an enormous amount of guards patrolling the rides so you can't get to the characters. I'm sure a brave group like you can do it, right?" Affirmatives reached his ears and he turned back to the map again.

"Okay, Marion and Leia will lead part of this group to the Magic Kingdom." Both women nodded their comprehension. "There you'll try not only to find the group, but to recruit the princesses, the characters in Toontown, and basically everyone good over there." The two women stood to the side and some of the group joined their side.

"Luke, Octavius, Nick and I will lead some characters to the Animal Kingdom, where we'll try to get some animal friends on our side. Hopefully one of you out there knows how to speak Baboon, because I certainly don't. Only monkey." Luke went to stand next to Larry and Nick while some of the group chose to be in their group.

"Okay, last group." Han and Indy already knew what was going to happen, and they kept on eyeing each other with contempt. Chewie kept a protective paw on Han's shoulder, but he had no problems with the archeologist. In fact, Chewie found the Doctor very much like Han, but of course he would never dare to mention that. "Han, Indy, you guys will be finishing up this park to get any remaining stragglers, then work your way over to Epcot. Sound good?"

"I'm sure we'll be fine," Indy replied smoothly, never taking his accusing eyes off of his twin's face.

"Don't count on it," Han muttered under his breath, and Indy's fists clenched.

"Try not to kill one another," scolded Leia. "You guys have a job to do!"

"And what if I want to live, huh?" Han protested, his attention now drawn to the petite girl in front of him. Her mouth drew into a thin line and her brows furrowed.

"Sometimes we've got to do things because we have to," Luke added, trying to diffuse the animosity between his two friends, unfortunately unsuccessfully.

"Is that another piece of Jedi wisdom?" Han scoffed. "And why do you always got to take her side? I'm your friend, too!"

Before Luke could respond, Larry interrupted. "If there are no more questions, could we please get a move on before it turns light and everything is ruined?" Everyone, even Han, nodded. "Now, you'll follow me to the tunnels under the Sorcerers Hat in the center of the park. Then we'll branch off into separate tunnels based on where we're going, okay?"

"Okay we got it!" Miss Piggy called obnoxiously from Larry's own group, where she'd followed Kermit. Larry glared down at her.

"Alright, if there are no more questions, let's go!"

The large group of characters followed Larry and Nick to the giant Sorcerers hat in the center of the park, and quickly entered the door leading down to the tunnels. "Okay, so the blue track is for Epcot," Larry told Han and Indy. They nodded, letting him know that they understood. "You guys should finish up here and then come back to use this track. We don't want too many people using these tunnels at once."

"Yeah, sure, we'll just do a quick sweep around. It shouldn't take too long, for today I tried to get as many people as possible. There may be one or two more stragglers," Indy informed Larry.

"Awesome. Get to it." Han and Indy then led their group back out of the tunnel then split into two, Han leading one section and Indy leading the other. It seemed that when needed, the two got along really well. "Okay," Larry turned to the girls. "The line for the Magic Kingdom is pink. Try to get as many people as possible, as quickly as possible."

"We'll try to finish as soon as we can," Leia told him and set off with Marion and their group down the tunnel.

Once out of sight, Larry turned to his own group. "We'll follow this brown line to the Animal Kingdom. When we get there, we're not going to split up, okay?"

"As you say, my liege!" Octavius called from his pocket, barely heard.

"Okay then…"

"I'm pretty sure we're done here," Han muttered into the comlink he brought to communicate with Indy. Indy was given Chewie's before they split, since Chewie was going to be with Han anyway.

"Yeah, I caught some people over near Honey I Shrunk the Audience, but besides them I think this park is clear," Indy's static- filled voice mumbled through the comlink.

"Let's meet by the Hat and head over to Epcot then, shall we?"

"Sounds good."

Han then took his group to the meeting place as fast as he could. There were some cheerleaders from the High School Musical show cowering in a back room somewhere underground, and after some coaxing and a few winks, he was able to get them on his side. Besides them he hadn't come across anyone else.

By the time the Hat was in sight, Indy's group was waiting for him near the door.

"We follow the blue line, right?" Indy asked, just to confirm.

"Yeah," Han adjusted his blaster on his holster, loosening it for any future battles they might have in Epcot. Indy took his lead and unstrapped his whip, coiling it around his hands. "Can I have the light?" Wordlessly, Indy handed him his old- fashioned flashlight and they set off down the tunnel, into the dark abyss.

Leia was the one who reached up to push the top aside for ToonTown. Using her upper body strength, she was able to pull herself up. After, she turned to pull Marion up, as well. Before they could pull anyone else up, however, they heard a scuffle behind them.

Leia figured it would be too late to go back down the tunnel and act as if they never came, because there was a solid chance whatever was rustling in the bushes already knew they were there. So instead of jumping back down, she figured she'd pose as a distraction for Marion to go back down and lead the rest of the group away. "Who's there?" she called sharply, gesturing while she did so for Marion to start inching back. "Show yourself!" Marion was halfway down the hole when Leia finally took up her blaster and charged it.

"Garsh, ah didn't mean no harm, honest!" Goofy protruded from the bushes. "Ah was just scared! Don't shoot, lady!"

Leia, not knowing what the strange creature was, didn't lower her weapon. However, Marion did know, as Goofy had been around since 1932, and she climbed back out of the hole. "Its okay, Leia, it's just Goofy. He's practically harmless."

Leia sighed, but lowered her weapon. "Um, Goofy is it? Do you think you can help us?"

Goofy brightened at the prospect. "Sure thing!" He whistled out to his friends hiding in various trees and bushes all over the town. "Come help my friends!"

"How'da we know they're our friends?" Donald waddled over to them, crossing his arms suspiciously. "The other ones said they were our friends, too."

Goofy started helping Marion pull up the other characters as Donald was talking. "Wait, what other ones?" Leia asked him.

"About a half an hour ago some pirates and villains tried to take us, but we ran and hid before they could get us," Mickey explained, climbing out of his tree.

"They took Daisy," Donald muttered sadly to himself. "We were gonna find her, but we knew Larry was gonna come back so we were waiting for him." He then furrowed his brows. "You're not Disney!"

"We aren't," Leia agreed. "Most of the characters from Hollywood Studios aren't. I'm Lucasfilm."

"Me too!" Marion shouted back, lifting Jane Banks out of the hole while Goofy lifted up Jane's brother, Michael.

"We can help get your Daisy back," Leia told Donald. "They're probably keeping her in the same place where they're keeping Larry's friends. Do you have any idea where they might be?"

Donald shrugged. "I'm guessing the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Adventure Land."

"Perfect," Leia beamed down at them. "First we need to round up some friends so we get to them before the bad guys get to them."

"The pirates were headed towards Tomorrow Land, and I think we were the first stop," Chip called from under Leia's feet. Dale nodded enthusiastically.

"Okay then we'll go through Fantasyland and Liberty Square," Leia figured. "Try to round up as many people as possible then go to the Pirates ride." She turned to Marion, who was red with exhaustion. "Are you all done?"

Marion looked a little exasperated, but refrained from sarcasm as much as she could. "Yeah, we're all up."

"If that's everything, let's go." Leia took a path down to Fantasyland. The rest of the crew followed her, and then they reached the open square with Cinderella's Carousel Ride right in front of them and Dumbo's nearby. "Where do you suggest we go first?" Leia murmured to Marion, who was standing right next to her.

"Peter Pan sounds good," she said back. "Then Winnie the Pooh." She looked around. "Let's try to avoid Snow White's Scary Adventures. I have a feeling that anyone in there wouldn't be too friendly, and all the good characters would be somewhere else. Since Snow White's a princess, they'd probably be together up there," she gestured with her hand at the castle right in front of them. "It's stupid because the only way out is down, but hey, they're princesses right?" Marion was proud of her joke until she saw the look on Leia's face. "Oh, right."

"No harm done," Leia said reasonably. "On three, we run to the Peter Pan ride over there. One, two, three!" They scurried across the path, luckily not seeing anyone. Once inside the ride they crept onto several flying pirate ships and entered. They got to around the middle of the ride before it abruptly stopped. "Who's there?" called Leia suspiciously.

"Who are you,more like!" Peter Pan himself flew in wearing his Indian hat with Tinker Bell on his shoulder. The Darling kids, Wendy, Michael and John, and the Lost Boys were not far behind. They were trying a bit harder to stay up, not flying as naturally as Peter. "You're not friends of Captain Hook's, are you? I haven't seen that sly dog around anywhere." He glared around a little and scratching his head lightly with his small knife. "If you were I'd have to skin you," he warned threateningly and holding his knife a little higher.

"No, no," Marion assured him. "We need your help to defeat Hook and save our friends."

"Defeat Hook?" He brightened noticeably at that. "Then I'm your man!" he said proudly, puffing his chest out a little. "At your service, madams!"

"Awesome," Leia said. She then realized after a few seconds of silence that the ride still wasn't on. "Ah, Peter?"

"Oh right," he replied sheepishly. "John?" John Darling uncomfortable floated to the controls and let the ride go.

Once outside, the crew with the Pan additions ran to the Pooh ride. Soon they had Tigger, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, Rabbit, Owl, Piglet, Christopher Robin and Pooh Bear himself on their side.

They went about the section for some time, gathering good followers. Soon they were joined by the entire Alice in Wonderland crew, after a bit of protesting at not wanting any tea, the Dumbo group, the small yet creepy dolls from It's a Small World, the animals from Robin Hood, and several others that had no ride but were cowering in a darkened corner.

"Where to now?" asked Robin himself to the girls in charge.

"Erm, I guess we'll work our way around the circle before getting to the castle," Marion suggested.

"That sounds good to me," Leia shrugged. "To Liberty Square it is!"

They avoided the Haunted Mansion, figuring that nothing good would come out of it, and headed straight to Disney's contribution to American history. They gathered up the bears from the Country Bear Jamboree, and walked into the Hall of Presidents.

The Hall was decorated lavishly in colonial style, and had red, white and blue everywhere. The doors were opened, and so they just walked in.

It turned out to be a most unfortunate time, as they walked into a major political debate between all the presidents. The arguments seemed to be divided mainly into Pre Civil War presidents, and Post Civil War presidents. The colonial presidents seemed to be fighting mainly of overpriced tea, Democratic Republicans, red coats, and books of the time. The more recent presidents, however, were less civilized. They were criticizing each other on their presidency and how they specifically ruined America. The stock market, immigration, industrialization, foreign policies and taxes were a popular topic. These presidents were divided into Democrats and Republicans, almost acting as if the line separating the two parties was made of acid and any president that crossed the line would be a traitor to his country.

"Gentlemen, I am ashamed!" Marion shouted furiously at her leaders. The presidents jumped, startled. "You are Americans for God's sake! Will you cut it out and listen to me?"

"And who might you be, little lady?" Abe Lincoln smiled gently down at her from his massive height.

Marion jumped on the stage, taking her place between the 1930's presidents, carefully making sure not to get near Herbert Hoover. "I am Marion Ravenwood. I was a proud American as of two seconds ago when I saw you all fighting! You are all grown men and should know better," she scolded.

"You are speaking to a room full of politicians, Doll," President Clinton pointed out, acting bored and narrowing his eyes at President George Bush Senior, who shrugged at him.

"I just thought you'd all know better when there's a crisis going on," Marion told them casually, letting her frustration out a little by clenching her hands.

"A war?" John Adams cried dramatically in his British accent. "We must protect our country!"

"What if it's not our country?" President Obama said thoughtfully while the Republicans glared at him.

"It's your country," Marion said quickly before Leia could open her mouth. Leia looked affronted, but her eyes were glazed with a childish excitement, wanting to join the debate. It was the deeply rooted politician inside of her.

"Then we must take up arms and join our brothers!" Theodore Roosevelt, unfortunately not the one from the museum, called out, drawing his sword and nearly decapitating Taft, his successor.

"Jesus, watch it, Teddy!" Taft scolded.

"Sorry," Teddy apologized and put his sword back.

"No, President Roosevelt, that sounds perfect," Leia spoke eagerly. "Please help us! All of you." Her voice then got softer. "If a country doesn't stick together then all hope is lost for the future. The world won't know that the presidents worked together in harmony, but if you help us at least you'll know that you can do it."

"For America," added Marion. "C'mon, Commander in Chiefs. We know you've got it in you."

"The little ladies have a point," President Kennedy scratched his head.

"That they do," President George W. Bush agreed.

"I'm sorry I called you a cowhead," President Obama apologized to President Bush, holding out his hand, which Bush shook firmly.

"I'm sorry we were such rivals before," Jefferson told Adams.

"I'm sorry you did nothing to stop the Great Depression," Marion told Hoover, who turned red.

"So, if you'll follow me," Leia said quickly before anyone could ruin the moment.

There wasn't much of anything in Frontier Land, but they got a few animals from Splash Mountain to join them before moving on to Adventure Land. Here they were very careful to avoid the main entrance of the Pirates ride, instead choosing to go through the back. They decided to get Tomorrow Land and the Castle later. Sending out a few Hollywood characters and a couple of presidents to stand guard, they slipped in the back entrance.

The ride was dark, as usual, and very wet.

"I'm telling ya mates, I've not be havin' the slightest idea where William Turner might be." They heard the unmistakable drawl of a pirate coming from the room next to them and they froze. Looking up, they saw a man in his mid twenties crouching and holding a gun in his hand. He saw them immediately, but instead of telling the people that were obviously in the next room, he just put a dirty finger to his lips.

The man had black hair that was slightly wavy and stopped around his shoulders. However it was pinned up and only a few tendrils hung down over his dirty face. He was clearly a pirate, but without any missing limbs or tattoos, it was obvious he was not an experienced one. He glanced at the pirate ship behind him.

Leia looked up to see a girl in her early twenties, wearing the clothes a respectable lady might have worn in that time period. Her brown hair hung to her chest and her once fine clothes were rumpled and dirty.

"Take her with you," the man hissed desperately down at them as the two pirates in the other room debated.

Leia automatically trusted this pirate, and she signaled for the girl to come down to them. The girl looked at the man with a desperate sadness and climbed down nearly silently. She joined Leia and Marion in the front.

"Hide in the shadows," the man whispered down to them. "And stay still. And quiet." Leia had barely time to nod before he shouted, "Fire on!"

The ship behind them clamored to life. The letters on the side blazed The Black Pearl. The man at the wheel shouted to his crew orders.

"Fire, Barbossa!" The man shouted, then jumped from the ledge into the room where the pirates were. The woman whimpered in the other women's ears as he jumped.

The Captain of the other boat, Barbossa, gave the orders to his crew and the guns were loaded. Soon the room was filled with the sound of gunfire and shouts. "Should we leave?" Marion asked the girl.

She shook her head. "We would make far too much noise," she spoke with a pristine English accent, and clearly had a grasp on grammar. "It would be much better to wait here until it's over." She paused for a moment. "I'm Elizabeth."

"Leia, and this is Marion," Leia whispered to her, grasping her blaster tightly. "We'll have more introductions later, but right now we wait, correct?"

"Yes, it should be over soon," Elizabeth nodded solemnly. "Blackbeard usually wins, but tonight I think it'll be different."

The gunfire and smoke lasted for some time after that, but after a while, from the other room, a gravelly voice hollered an order. "Abandon ship!" Instead of the splashes usually heard after such an order, there was nothing. Marion suspected they just found an emergency door.

The boy from before rounded the corner, wet and miserable. The water only went up to his knees, and when he saw Elizabeth his face lit up. She ran to him and embraced him tightly.

"Oh, Will, you are alright aren't you?" Elizabeth drew a finger along a new scar running over his eyebrow.

"It's just a flesh wound," he shrugged, the smile not leaving his face.

"Blast it, where is that Turner?" the voice that was talking to the other pirate before about Will Turner rounded the bend.

This was a unique pirate indeed. He had black dreadlocks despite his skin being a tanned white. His beard had beads handing down, and his hair was adorned with some of the same beads. He was obviously a pirate, and had been for a very long time. His boots were scuffed and well worn, and he walked, well, like a woman.

"Well, well, well, what have we here?" Captain Jack Sparrow swaggered his way over to the ladies.

"Great, another pirate," Leia muttered darkly.

"Easy, love, there's no need for antagonism," Jack bowed in front of her and winked.

"Yes there is," Angelica, Jack's long time love, appeared behind the wall. She seemed very agitated by Jack's show of affection to the other ladies. Her pirate attire was clearly Spanish, and so was she. Angelica walked to her beaux with a feminine grace, linking arms with Jack. He didn't seem angry with her arrival, in fact he rejoiced in her jealous haze, and he smirked. "I'm Angelica," she told the crowd suspiciously.

"Yeah, we should really do some introductions now," Marion murmured. Sometime during the introductions, Captain Barbossa waltzed over. After everyone knew who the others were, some of the others told the pirates their story, as the girls grew tired of having to explain it all the time.

Naturally, the pirates wanted something out of it for themselves, but after a bit of political coaxing from Leia and a few of the more persuasive presidents, they were convinced that they couldn't fight in peace with the whole rest of the parks in turmoil. Leia and Marion were pleased that they had gotten to the good pirates before the bad ones got to them first. They were sure that with the same persuasion from the other side, they might have gotten these pirates to join them.

The group worked their way into Tomorrow Land, picking up Stitch, the good monsters from Monsters Inc., and Star Command from the Buzz Lightyear ride. They decided that their group was big enough, so then they went to the castle. It was a bit disturbing that they didn't know where the pirates went, but they continued on.

After leaving a few guards outside in the foliage, the girls and a few of the less intimidating characters climbed to the top of the castle.

"I've got a really bad feeling about this," Leia murmured to Marion, who grinned tensely, feeling the same.

They reached the top of the tower, and they reached the door to the topmost section. Before knocking, they heard tense female voices mixed with deeply masculine male voices.

Some of the male voices told them to come in, and when they did, an interesting sight reached their eyes. The intensely girly room was clearly making the princes of Disney very uncomfortable.

They were all there. Ariel, Snow White, Jasmine, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Tiana, Rapunzel and Mulan were all there, along with their respective princes.

This time, Elizabeth was the one the one to explain what they needed their help for. The royalty listened intently, some more than others, and then they finally agreed to help.

It was around the time when they were going to leave when they heard a noise from below.

"They are coming," Mulan whispered. "Just like they tried to last night."

"It's okay," Leia told her group desperately. "We'll find a way out of this. We can just…"

And as she tried to console her group, a steady group of pirates rushed up the stairs to meet them. They grinned manically, some from Blackbeard's crew and some from Peter Pan. The Blackbeard pirates were the ones that truly frightened some of them, since the Peter Pan pirates just looked ridiculous.

"It seems," Leia whispered sadly. "That we have trapped ourselves in here."

The princesses just whimpered.
