GW: Crap. Jack's winning and Rai's not gonna have a nice welcome home. Let's watch what happens!

Rai: Please don't let it be something bad.

Of Framing & More Betraying

When nighttime fell on ToonCity, Rai finally made it back to the palace and stumbled to see Gantu waiting for him.

"Fish-Face, for once I'm happy to see you, Master Fung's been…" Raimundo began until he was cut off.

"Seize him, boys!" Gantu shouted as Rai was restrained by Crocker and Francis. "You are under arrest for the murder of Master Fung!"

"What!? NO!" Rai shouted, but he was dragged away.

Later, in the caste's bottom dungeon, Rai was explaining his story to Gantu.

"And then you fell over the waterfall? Hah, then tell me how could you have survived?" Gantu asked.

"I wish I knew, Fish-Face," Rai sighed.

"A likely story," Gantu sneered.

"It's the truth! For the love of Mickey, why won't you believe me!?"

"Because it's obvious you're lying," came Kimiko's voice as she stood in the doorway, holding a slashed vest and Rai's weapon. "I found these in your room, my Master's vest, slashed with your weapon. Doesn't give me good vibes."

"Wait! What about Kairi, June-"

"There crying in their rooms. I can't believe you killed your own pals, Rai! I thought you loved me, but it's clear that you just want to rule ToonCity."

"I never wanted-"

"He shall die at dawn, for the murder of my sensei and his friends," Kimiko sentenced as she walked away and closed the door behind her.

"Kim, wait!" Rai pleaded, but Gantu held him back.

"You're in my hands now, street rat!" Gantu hissed.

As Kimiko walked up some stairs, we see Kairi, Naminè, June, Lilo, and, what's this, Kimiko chained to a wall along with the others. Heinrich and Hal were making sure their chains were tight and stepped away as the other Kimiko approached Kimiko. The one not in chains smirked, then transformed into Jack Spicer.

"Oh, you should've seen the look on Raimundo's face when his beloved Kimiko sentenced him to death!" Jack laughed.

"No!" Kimiko cried as her friends gasped.

"Yes! Then I get my wish?" Heinrich asked.

"Yes, then you get your wish," Jack said irritably as Bandanna whispered, "He's so pushy."

"Snoopy, you jerk! Rai gave you another chance and you back-stabbed him!" Kimiko shouted at the beagle as he hid behind a pillar.

"Hey, I already got the 'guilt-trip' speech from the others, I don't need it again!" Snoopy groaned as he looked away.

"Hmm, what spirit," Jack sneered as he cupped Kimiko's chin, but recoiled when she tried to bite his hand. "A few days in chains will make you respect my authority, especially if you want your sensei to be alright." He then decided to monologue a bit. "I'll admit, you and your friends put up a good fight against my new and improved Jack-bots, Kimiko. Then again, I always liked my women feisty. You girls even managed to defeat a dozen before you all went down. It was pretty easy for me to create more Jack-bots for you to fight until we were worn out. Being an Evil Boy Genius/all-powerful genie has its perks, ya' know?" He then showed a play-by-play of Kim and her pals fighting off bigger and better Jack-bots. Kimiko defeated some with her Wudai skills and Shen-Gong-Wu, Kairi and Naminè with their Keyblades, June with her Te Xuan Ze powers, and Lilo with her magic she learned. Unfortunately, Kimiko and her pals were too tired to go on, so they had no choice but to give up.

"You…you weird, villain-wannabe Mama's boy!" Stitch Jr. shouted.

Jack mimicked the Trog and turned to Snoopy. "Ah, Snoops. You betrayed me and allied yourself with my enemies, then went on to betray them. That's what I love about you. You're so…predictable. A villain through and through." He rumpled Snoopy's head as the dog sighed. He looked at Hal who was winking at the others for some reason. Bandanna and Halo winked at Snoopy and, even though h had no idea what was going to happen, he winked as well.

Morning had come as Raimundo woke up to see Gantu slamming the prison door.

"Dawn," he said sinisterly.

Then, we see Gantu marching up the stairs with Rai in tow, his arms and legs chained together and it didn't help that Mojo and Francis were standing behind him.

Back to the dungeon, Jack morphs into Kimiko, wearing the peasant clothes the day she met Rai.

"Hmm, I'll tell your boyfriend good-bye for you, Kim," the fake Kimiko said.

"When I go Keyblade on you, Spicer, you'll wish you'd never been born!" Sora growled.

"Ooh, I'm so scared," Jack's voice said as he walked out. With that, Snoopy gave out a sigh, ran to the Sphere of Yun, and tried to open it.

"I just don't understand you, Snoopy," Danny sighed.

"Yeah, Snoops, you double-crossed Rai after all that he's done for you. How could you?" Naminé asked.

"Well, it must've been bad breeding," Dash said insultingly to the beagle, who looked at the super.

"Hey, do I insult your mother!?" Snoopy asked defensively.

"Probably, you insult everybody else," Dash smirked as Violet sighed.

Then, Snoopy grabbed the Wu and started to bang it on the floor.

"Now, what are you doing?" Winter groaned.

"What does it look like I'm doing, bunny-girl? I'm trying to free you guys so we can save Rai!"

"Why are you doing this now?" Roxas asked.

"Look, I didn't want to work with Jack in the first place. When I said 'No', he threatened to kill me. After the two Genies and their buddies attacked him, he threatened to kill them. How could I just let that happen? And I know that I'd rather be neutered than join you guys again. But this is a confusing issue, so I'm gonna make up for all my ill deeds by getting you all out of here."

"Way to go, little dude!" Sora cheered.

Snoopy clawed and slashed until he got worn down. He slumped to the floor as Stitch sighed, "We're doomed."

Meanwhile, Norm was sharpening a blade as Gantu donned an executioner's mask. He took the blade from Norm, then chopped a piece of wood in half while a frightened Rai stood by, knowing he's next.

Then, the guards led Raimundo out onto the balcony while the fish alien followed.

Meanwhile, back in the dungeon, Snoopy was still clawing, but he gave up, panting, "It's no use. I've got nothing."

"Except us," a voice said and with that Hal and his pets came from behind a pillar, holding the Reversing Mirror.

"You!" Winter snarled. "What are you doing here?"

"Saving you. Reversing Mirror!" Hal shouted as the Wu activated and destroyed the Sphere of Yun, releasing those inside.

"Okay, this day just got weirder," Violet mumbled as she and her friends worked on releasing their chained-up friends. "Why did you help us?"

"Because me and my pets aren't evil. We're just working with Heinrich so we can get enough money to meet up with my sister and her friends," Hal explained. "I didn't want all this to happen. So, we three made a plan to set you all free."

"That's very noble of you," Winter said as all the heroes were free. Hal grinned, but started to frown when Winter started to choke him. "But that doesn't mean I'll forgive you for stealing my BOAT!!" The heroes sweat-dropped as they watched the scene.

The guards got Rai in the executing position and Gantu was about to deliver the blow…

"Wait!" Kimiko said as she came up to Raimundo.

"Kim!" Rai said hopefully. "I knew you wouldn't have me slaughtered."

"I just wanted to say good-bye," Kim said before her face turned into Jack's. "Street rat," he snarled before he changed back to Kim's face and walked away.

"Jack Spicer! It's Jack-" he never finished because he got a bag placed over his head. Jack smirked as the guards were ready to finish Rai off.

Back with the heroes, the kids zipped out on Dojo and Glowworm snatched Rai before the blade hit his head.

She pulled the bag off his head and he sighed in relief. "Thank you for saving me, GW."

"Hey, I would be pretty upset if someone was about to chop off my head."

"Besides," Chihiro grinned. "The no-head look was so not you!"

They flew to the top of the castle as Dash panted, "Hah, I wasn't scared of flying. Haku, just admit it, you're scared of heights." Haku rolled his eyes, but said nothing.

"The point is everyone is safe," Halo said. Rai looked at the three, but Sora

gave him a look that said 'they're with us.'

"It's good to see you again!" Kimiko said happily as she and all his friends hugged Rai.

"Rai, buddy, ol' pal!" Dojo hugged Rai's face happily.

"Rai, there's someone else who wants to talk to you," Edd said as he pointed to the pillar where snoopy was. The dog walked in front of it and said, "Hello."

"YOU!! YOU SET ME UP!" Rai shouted so loud that the whole world shook. "I can't believe that you'd show your face here! I outta-"

Before he could hurt Snoopy, Kimiko came between the two. "Wait, Rai. Snoopy…saved us." She couldn't believe it herself.

"Rescue!? He did!?" Rai pointed to the trembling dog.

"Yep. I didn't have to, but…I did," Snoopy shrugged.

"The only reason why he helped was because Jack threatened to hurt us and him. He's a hero!" Stitch Jr. said as he hugged Snoopy, who quickly got out of his grip.

"It's true. We saw the whole thing," Winter said.

"Yeah, yeah. We don't have time! We gotta stop Spicer!" Snoopy said.

"But he's too strong!" Kairi sighed.

"Now, with all that power, that weakling isn't exactly a weakling anymore," Pan said.

"There is a way," Edd began. "There are actually four chances we have to win here. The first is the fact that Violet, Glowworm, and I outnumber Jack three to one. Three half-strength genies ARE more powerful than one full-strength genie as a collective group. Even if that fails, we can AT LEAST keep Jack busy long enough to give you guys a chance to destroy Jack's lamp. If you destroy Jack's lamp, you destroy Jack. Even if Heinrich DOES succeed in freeing Jack before his lamp can be destroyed, however, there IS the matter that Jack; like Violet, GW, and I, he will be reduced to half-strength, which will make our three on one number advantage somewhat more valuable. Then, there's more still; again, in the event of Violet, Glowworm, and I still being unable to defeat Jack even after his own power is cut in half; the chance that Jack can be trapped in some sort of bottle or orb while we are keeping him busy. It's a genie thing. Trust me."

They all stared at him as Stitch moaned, "Ow, too much info."

"Then it looks like we'll have a good chance against him," Danny said, but was tapped on the shoulder by Snoopy.

"Uh, FYI: Jack's large and IN CHARGE!"

"Snoopy is correct," Fung said. "There is no telling what Jack Spicer might do to the city."

Snoopy then looked sadly. "Looks like you guys won't need me. I'm just a stupid dog. I was nearly starving and half-crazy when Jack brought me in. I'll only be a burden to you all." He then started to walk away Glowworm said, "Snoops-"

Snoopy turned around and for the first time, he had tears in his eyes. "I'm sorry for everything. You've all been good friends and basically my only friends besides Blockhead and Woodstock." He looked at Rai and the others and whimpered, "You were right, Rai. I'm a coward, a traitor, a filthy mutt who turns on everybody. I'm not worth it, I never was…"

The heroes watched sadly as their new pal walked away for possibly forever.

"Are you crying?" Dash asked Hal who had tears. The boy wiped them away and shouted defensively, "I'm not crying!"

"We have to let him go," Naminé sighed depressingly. "I hate to admit it, but it's Snoopy's choice. We've got no time to lose at stopping Jack." The heroes climbed aboard Dojo while Angel clutched her stomach.

"You okay?" Stitch asked her.

"Yeah, just a little sick. Let's go!" she said as they took. Raimundo looked at the departing dog and called to him, "Snoopy! I was wrong, you aren't worthless! Thank you for all you've done!" And with that, they took off.

"Yeah, whatever," Snoopy sighed. He walked off, but looked back and sighed again.
