Bastion

The group walks down the path. "Maybe it has something to do with flashlights. Maybe we need three of them."

"And where are we supposed to go with these three flashlights?"

"Somewhere dark?" Tara slaps her forehead when suddenly the ground shakes again and her eyes widen. "Oh no."

"Calm down. It happened today already. It's just a little quake. It'll pass in a minute."

"It happened already today?!"

"Yeah, a little before you came."

"Run!" She takes off while everyone watches her confused. Suddenly, a light cycle appears from over a hill with Bastion riding it. Sarah slowly backpedals away.

"Run!"

"Don't have to tell me three times!" She and Mulan catch up with Tara as the light cycle steadily gains on them.

"What is that?!"

"It's Bastion!"

"As in the future dictator who destroys everything!"

"Is there any other?!"

"I was just double-checking! God!"

"He must have found out about me coming back and came after me. He has a lot to lose if I succeed! Come on! We have to go faster!" But she trips and Sarah stops to help her. "No! You have to run!" The light cycle cuts in front of them and he climbs off.

"So, I finally found you." He pulls out his red sword and puts his hand up. "Now hold still."

"Sarah, I can't move!"

"It's one of his powers. Don't try to fight it, it'll just get worse."

"She's right. So, this is who they send to stop me from reaching power. This is our huge savior for the future." He lifts her head with the sword.

"What's with your voice Bastion? Any particular reason you're hiding it now?" He smacks her.

"Don't forget who I am! I can do whatever suits me!" He lifts Sarah's head and stares at her a long moment. "So you found the Chosen One. That was a smart move. You're certainly doing your job."

"Shut up! So, what did you tell your villain friends? Do they know you're going to kill virtually every one of them in the future?"

"They think I work under them and I'll have to keep it that way for myself to come into being."

"Sure! Your down-fall is coming real soon Bastion. Soon you won't exist."

"That's rich. Now hold still. I'm going to take great pride in killing you just like I did with all your pathetic friends at the lab." Tara looks up in shock. "Would you like to know who begged for mercy?"

She spits on him. Sarah is looking around wildly and notices sand on his boots. He raises his sword and comes down on Tara only to have his blade meet another. He looks and sees Sarah has risen and has her sword out.

"You're not hurting her. You'll have to go through me first."

"Then I guess I will." He comes at her and she dodges, but he seems to expect that and counters, cutting off some of her hair.

"Hey!"

Mulan and Tara meanwhile struggle to rise. "How did she get up? I still can't move!"

Timon thinks a moment. "Maybe it's the power of the Chosen One?"

The two continue to sword-fight but Sarah is losing pretty badly. She manages to knock his arm, shattering his spell on the others. They rise and Tara runs for the light cycle.

"Come on!" Sarah manages to get around Bastion and hops on with the others. Tara throws the pedal down and they shoot off at light speed. Bastion lets out a frustrated cry and buries his sword in the ground.

"You will not stop me!"

"How can you see where you're going?! We're going so fast!"

"I can't! I'm just getting as far away from him as possible!"

"That sounds like a good plan! How'd he get here?"

"This thing can go fast enough to rip the space-time continuum! We must be on to something here if he came himself!"

"Look out!" Too late, the cycle crashes head-first into a large rock and everyone flies off, Sarah knocking her head against the rock and Tara doing the same blacking out. "Tara! Tara!" Mulan comes over with Timon. "Are you two okay?"

"Okay?! Okay?! I'm-"

"We're fine." She looks at the cycle scattered everywhere. "There goes our ride though. Is she okay?"

"I know just the person here who can help her." Sarah picks her head up. "Can you get her legs?" Mulan nods and they start to carry her up the side of the rock.

"Sarah, you can't mean-"

"Of course I do Timon. Who else is there around here who knows medicine?" Timon gives a gulp and looks up at Pride Rock.

"Then we're in for a lot of crazy."

"We can make a club for that for sure."

DMDM

The Stepmother laughs. "She beat you?! You lost to a young girl!"

"I underestimated a factor. It won't happen again. It seems my powers don't work on her."

"And why would that be?"

"Because of who she is."

"I see. She is a real brat that girl."

"Sure. So I've heard."

"And how about this girl from the future?"

"If she is anything like the one she comes from, then she truly will be a force to reckon with. But then again, I never liked anything easy."

"None of us ever do. But in two short days the prison will open and we will stand triumphant since the princes, the king, and that measly creator will be ended when the clock strikes midnight at the same time. Things will finally go our way. Scar is out looking for the first key now."

DMDM

The princes struggle against their chains, but no one manages to budge even a little bit. "This is hopeless," Robert sighs.

"Come on. We can't give up. Everyone's counting on us. There has to be a key to get us-"

"Say that again Mickey."

"There has to be a key-"

"So that's what they're after. They're going to open the prison with the three keys. They're going to let the villains come full force and take over the Land. And with us gone, no one will be able to lead them."

"What's the plan then?"

"We have to get out of here and assemble the heroes, prepare them for what may come. But our best hope is that Sarah gets to them first and locks all the villains away for good."

"Well, I bet she's already got the first key by now. Sarah's very good at her job." A few snickers sound. "Hey! She did save all of us twice so be quiet and think of a way to get us out of here!"

"You're awful touchy Bubblitz."

"Well, she's everything."

"We know. So, let's think some more."
