"Knowing Christy, she's probably racing someone." Estelle said.

"That's my guess too." Akito nodded in agreement.

"First one back!" Christy's voice smirked. "I won!"

"There she is." Akito told Estelle.

"And look who's last for a change." Estelle said.

"You... Always win, Christy..." The former Camp Champ panted and sweated.

"That's right; that's why I'm Camp Champ, and you're not!" Christy smirked.

"Wow." Akito said.

"That boy's kind of a meanie, but I feel sorry for him right now." Estelle commented.

"Me too and Christy is starting to act just like him." Akito said.

"You lost, so you got trash duty for a week!" Christy smirked at the former bully. "Now get started!"

"Aw, please, Christy," The boy frowned to her. "If I ever become Camp Champ again, I'll let others win once in a while."

"I think you're right, Akito." Estelle said.

Christy soon scared the boy down on the ground.

"Christy, I think you and I need to talk." Akito glared.

"Huh?" Christy asked before seeing the Fudo twins. "What do you guys want?"

"You are being a bully." Estelle said.

"This isn't like you!" Akito added. "We might've just met you last week, but it's not being a competitive monster!"

"Besides that's not what being Camp Champ is about," Estelle said. "Or so I think."

"You guys are just jealous." Christy scoffed.

"Unbelievable." Estelle huffed.

"I'm sorry that you feel that way, but I can't let you hold me back." Christy rolled her eyes before trudging off.

"Let me talk with her." Akito said to Estelle before following Christy.

"Oh, be careful!" Estelle told him.

"I will." Akito said.

Estelle sat down and waited for her twin brother to come back. She then decided to help the former camp bully by getting the bucket off his head as a banana peel splatted on his face.

"Wow, thanks, kid." The boy told her.

"No problem, besides, even though you were a bit of a bully the first week, you don't deserve this kind of punishment." Estelle said.

"Yeah, I was pretty rotten and a sore winner..." The boy sighed. "I even kinda made fun of that Edwin Salamone kid for feeling homesick."

"What's your name anyway?" Estelle asked.

The boy hesitated at first before telling her. "Sonny."

"Uh, that's a nice name." Estelle said.

"Are you the Camp Champ?" A voice asked as Christy walked off.

"Who wants to know?" Christy demanded.

"Dark Heart!" Akito glared once he saw the boy disguised as a fox much to Christy's shock.

"Akito, you know this fox?" Christy asked.

"This is Dark Heart in disguise." Akito replied.

"He's right." The fox smirked.

"Who... Who are you?" Christy asked as the fox soon morphed back into a boy.

"Oh, you remember me." Dark Heart smirked to Christy.

"You're here for your favor, aren't you?" Akito glared at Dark Heart.

"That's right," Dark Heart smirked. "Christy, I want you to trap a few bears, and I have a plan. The world must learn to fear me, DARK HEART... And, uh, I need help."

"Why should we help you?" Akito asked.

"Christy, do you wanna go back to the little girl who never won anything?" Dark Heart bribed. "The one who always came in last, like him?" he then gestured to Sonny who was the former Camp Champ.

Dark Heart soon snapped his fingers and made something bad happen to Sonny. The boy yelped as he was suddenly lifted in the air and thrown away like literal garbage.

Christy gasped to this as she felt so terrible on the inside. "NO!"

"What do you need us to do?" Akito asked.

"I knew you'd help me," Dark Heart smirked before becoming a wolf this time before forcing Akito and Christy to take a ride on his back. "Come now, we're wasting time!"

They soon made their way to one of the boats. Christy yelped as she felt overwhelmed by this experience.

"This is very easy," Dark Heart smirked to them. "Just pretend you're in trouble and it'll lure the Care Bears over."

"I really hate to do this to them." Akito frowned.

"Do you want you want or not?" Dark Heart smirked.

"C-Come on, Akito..." Christy shakily told the boy as she got into the boat. "Let's go out for a swim."

Akito sat in the boat with her and rowed them out in the middle of the lake and got rid of the oar to make it look like they were in danger.

"Oh, no, please, someone help!" Akito called out in distress while not meaning it.

"Please someone help!" Christy added.

A cloud car soon came down from the sky and there came a brown-colored bear with a blue-colored bear.

"Brave Heart to the rescue!" A lion proclaimed before swinging on the tire swing over the docks. "CHARGE!"

Unfortunately, he didn't make it to the boat as he fell in the water.

"Brave Heart Lion!" One of the bears called.

"Sometimes I think you're just a little too brave." The other one added as he helped the lion up onto the dock.

"Look!" The first bear pointed in the air to see three other bears. "It's Share, Champ, and Good Luck Bear!"

"How many Care Bears are there?" Akito asked out of confusion.

"And Friend and Secret Bear!" The blue bear pointed out.

"Wait, stop!" A pink bear called out as the orange bear drove the cloud car.

"Well, what're we waiting for?" Brave Heart Lion asked the others before charging again. "CHARGE!"

'Oy, will that lion ever learn?' Akito thought to himself as he face-palmed as Brave Heart ran off the dock only to splash into the water again.

The Care Bears in the air soon came to Christy and Akito's rescue as Dark Heart released his evil magic to capture the creatures, but he would only be able to capture some of them. The other bears tried to warn the others as they helped up Brave Heart Lion. Dark Heart made a lightning bolt which popped a tire in the cloud car and they soon crashed into the forest.

"That's gotta hurt." Akito winced.

"Help us!" Christy cried out.

"Hey!" Good Luck Bear replied as he lowered a rope. "Grab hold of the line!"

Unfortunately, neither Christy or Akito grabbed onto the rope.

"Why won't they grab it?" Share Bear pouted.

Dark Heart sent another lightning strike which poofed Good Luck Bear out of his cloud car as well as also Champ Bear and Share Bear to follow behind, and caught into a giant red bag.

'I feel so horrible for doing this.' Akito thought to himself.

"Hey, where'd they go?" Brave Heart Lion wondered.

Dark Heart laughed before going to see the two campers in the canoe who looked rather guilty.

"It's Dark Heart!" Tender Heart and Grumpy cried out in fear once they saw who had captured their fellow Care Bears.

"Well, we can't just sit here, we gotta help that little girl and little boy." Brave Heart Lion said.

"You better not, Brave Heart," Friend Bear said as she came over. "Secret Bear and I saw them throw their paddles into the water!"

Secret Bear nodded in agreement before miming throwing paddles into the lake.

"They're working for Dark Heart." Friend Bear said.

"So that's what's happening to Birthday Bear and all the other Care Bears!" Grumpy glared. "Dark Heart's trapped them!"

"Well, we're not gonna take this sitting down!" Brave Heart glared before charging once more only for Grumpy to hold him back by his tail before he sheepishly looked back. "What're we gonna do?"

"I want your to gather all the Care Bear Cousins that are left, and meet us at the Hall of Hearts for a Care Bear Conference." Tender Heart demanded.

The Care Bears and Care Bear Cousins that weren't captured soon left the dock.

"Why so glum, you guys?" Dark Heart smirked to Christy and Akito. "You're both doing a great job."

"When will we stop?" Christy asked as she felt horrible for tricking the Care Bears.

"Oh, when I have each and every one of those bears and their cousins in my grasp." Dark Heart replied as he leaned back.

"NO!" Christy glared.

"NEVER!" Akito added.

"By then, Noble Heart and True Heart will realize they've been chasing my shadow," Dark Heart smirked as he twirled his finger in the lake water to show the horse and bear in a cave before splashing the images in the water. "When they come, I'll be ready for them. There'll be no one left to stop me!"

"Oh, dude, don't stand up in a canoe!" Akito warned, but it was too late.

And where Dark Heart soon ended up in the water and was now sinking.

"I tried to tell him." Akito muttered to himself.

"We have to save him." Christy said.

"Hope ya can swim." Akito replied.

Soon enough, the two dove underwater to save Dark Heart, and where they were successful. The two looked around until they found Dark Heart and helped him back up to the surface.

"Y-Y-You both saved me..." Dark Heart panted to them. "Why?"

"We couldn't just let you drown." Akito said.

"Good or bad, you're still a person," Christy added. "Or whatever you are."

"If you both knew what was good for you, you would've left me." Dark Heart huffed.

"I guess that's what is different from you and us." Akito said.

Dark Heart soon snapped his fingers and made the canoe take them back to the docks.

"How do you do that?" Akito asked.

"Don't you believe in magic?" Dark Heart smirked.

"So, that's how you made me do those bad thingss." Akito now realized.

"I suppose you could say that." Dark Heart smirked.

"Well, luckily, I know a little magic of my own." Akito glared slightly.

"Really?" Dark Heart smirked.

"Yes," Akito glared. "I'm a Wiccan and I have aunts from Equestria."

"That is impressive." Dark Heart said.

Akito folded his arms at Dark Heart without any fear.

Meanwhile, Felicity and Kelly were worried about going outside since Dark Heart's evil reign had spread through the rest of the campers. They soon saw Dawn and John running. The blonde twins soon hid in the bushes.

"We have to do something," Mismagius told Felicity. "We can't just sit here."

"You're right, Mismagius." Felicity agreed with her Pokemon.

"But what can we do?" Estelle wondered.

"I'm not sure." Kelly said.

"Hmm..." Felicity and Estelle hummed in thought of what to do.

Vulpix soon came out of his Pokeball and decided to think with the others by doing a 'Noodle Dance'. They soon saw Friend Bear and Secret Bear.

"Maybe they can help us?" Felicity suggested.

They soon saw Barbie enter the cabin.

"Barbie?" Kelly asked her older sister. "We need to go over to those bears and help stop Dark Heart before he ruins camp for everyone and destroys the Care Bears!"

"Then Ken and I are coming with." Barbie said.

"Are you sure, Barbie?" Kelly asked. "This seems quite serious and dangerous."

"I'm sure." Barbie said.

"Well, okay..." Estelle replied. "You are pretty amazing, Barbie, you can do anything."

"Like Kim Possible." Felicity smiled, remembering her mother's stories.

They soon went out to find the two Care Bears they saw.

"Care Bears!" Estelle called out as she came to the two. "Care Bears!"

"Those kids look rather familiar, and yet, so unfamiliar at the same time." Friend Bear said about how Felicity, Estelle, and Vincent looked like Cherry and Atticus.

Secret Bear nodded in agreement.

"Secret Bear, Friend Bear, please, let us help you." Estelle told the Care Bears.

The two Care Bears soon stopped their cloud car and went down to meet them. A moose snarled as he soon came out and looked like he was on a rampage as he came toward the others.

"Quick, someone sound like a female moose." Kelly said.

"My Moose is a little rusty, but I'll try..." Estelle said before clearing her throat and trying to sound like a female moose.

And where it worked as the moose now looked like he was in love.

"Oh, I'm better than I thought I was..." Estelle smirked before going on.

And where the moose soon began to bounce away, feeling light on his hooves.

"Phew!" Estelle wiped her forehead in relief.

"Aw, I kinda feel bad for him, but at least he won't hurt anyone." Felicity said.

"Well, it's no Care Bear Stare, but thanks." Friend Bear smiled to the help.

"You're welcome," Estelle smiled before looking to the bush. "You can come out now, Dawn and John."

Dawn and John soon nervously came out and met the Care Bears.

"Hey, you're the cubs." John pointed out.

"Right, and now we're here to help you," Friend Bear nodded. "Come on! Tender Heart's called a meeting at the Hall of Hearts!"

"Mind if our camp counselors come with?" Vincent asked.

"Counselors?" Friend Bear asked.

Then suddenly, as if on cue, Barbie and Ken arrived.

"I hope you don't mind." Estelle said.

"Not at all," Friend Bear smiled. "Please, Barbie and Ken, come with us."

"You don't have to ask us twice." Ken nodded.

They soon all got into the cloud car and left the forest of camp and were soon on their way into Care-A-Lot, and where there were only so few of them left.
