Meanwhile, back in the volcano...
The wildebeests were leading the giraffe, snake, human kids, and two lion cubs to meet their god.
"Oh, who is this Great Him anyway?" Bridget scoffed. "I'll take him on. I'm the Great Her! I'll show Him a thing or two! I mean, I'm from New York City for Pete's sake!"
"Well, whoever the Great Him is, we'll have to overpower him." Vincent said.
The wildebeests started to chant as they got closer.
"If you hurt my animals, I'll have you taken care of!" Jenny looked angry, which was odd since she never really got angry, but boy, did it look scary on a nice girl like her.
"My mother is a very important person, she will not be happy if you hurt us to this Great Him!" Eloise added firmly.
"Yeah, and our brother and dad will hurt you all severely if you try to hurt us and once our cousin wakes up, you're all doomed!" Estelle and Vincent glared.
The wildebeests laughed at their threats.
They came up to a rock shaped like the koala plush toy they all admired.
Ryan recognized it. "That looks like Nigel." he whispered to Kopa.
Kopa nodded in agreement. Nigel did in fact come out with his torch and a pineapple on top of his head and he did a Statue of Liberty pose to please his wildebeest followers.
"You have got to be kidding." Vincent groaned.
"My sentiments exactly." Bridget added.
Nigel was walking out royally as the wildebeests gazed upon him in unworthiness and bowed.
"Nigel, we don't know what you're trying to pull, but we will kick your-" Estelle whispered sharply.
"Silence!" Nigel hit her head with his torch.
"You did not just hurt my sister!" Vincent got angry.
"Silence again!" Nigel then hit his head.
"Listen, Nigel, even if you are an animal and our friend, it doesn't mean we won't use our powers on you." Vincent glared.
"You do not speak to me!" Nigel scolded the human kids.
"Nigel, what's the deal?" Ryan glanced at his koala bear best friend.
"Great Him," Kazar spoke up freely. "Shall we prepare the feast?"
"Yes, we shall!" Nigel proclaimed, then looked curious. "What's on the menu?"
"Them." Kazar gestured to the human kids, lion cubs, giraffe, and snake.
"Say what now?!" Kopa asked out of shock.
"Oh, no..." Nigel was in a dilemma before his torch light went out due to being on for so long. "Eat friends and be god, don't eat friends... God, friends, god, friends..."
"Prepare the meat fire!" Kazar commanded.
Two wildebeests pushed a rock over and flames hissed and crackled, frightening the human kids, lion cubs, snake, and giraffe.
"Wait!" Nigel called to his 'followers'. "We cannot cook them without... Uh... Onion!"
"Onions!" the wildebeests chanted.
One wildebeest had an onion on his horn and tossed it into the fire.
"Well, that was fast." Nigel said before the Pokemon, Georgette, and Oliver appeared.
"Let the ritual begin." Kazar commanded.
The wildebeests then forced the human kids, lion cubs, giraffe, and snake to move.
"Wait, you can't sacrifice them!" Vulpix told the wildebeests.
The wildebeests glanced at the fire fox Pokemon.
"He's right!" Nigel spoke up nervously. "Well, we also need, uh, hats!"
The wildebeests looked to each other then back to the koala bear.
"Not what I was going with but okay..." Vulpix muttered.
"Do we not have the party hats of death?" Nigel smiled sheepishly. "I've got mine! And before the feast, we must all..." he then suddenly slipped and somehow hovered in the air and spun into the air, making him feel rather sick.
The wildebeests cheered to this.
"What's going on?" Larvitar asked.
"I come from a supernatural household and that is totally paranormal!" Misdreavus did not like this.
"How do I stop this thing!?" Nigel cried.
"Guys." Benny came over to the others with Akito.
"Benny?" the others asked in surprise.
"Look, a squirrel!" Larry smiled.
"Larry." Bridget glared at the snake.
"What's going on?" Estelle asked.
The Pokemon, Georgette, and Oliver then came over to their owners/trainers. Jenny hugged Georgette and Oliver once she saw them. Vulpix cuddled with her too, but of course, came closer to Vincent since he lived with the boy after all and Jenny lived far away. Estelle hugged her Teddyursa as he was crying to see her again.
"We've got a plan," Akito told the others. "Follow us."
The others then followed the boy and squirrel as Nigel was distracting the wildebeests with his sudden flying abilities.
"Oh, Great Him, we are humble with your power." Kazar told the koala bear.
'Those guys are easily impressed.' Akito thought to himself.
Nigel didn't know how it was working either, but went along with it. However, steam rose which made the chameleons appear and freak out, revealing themselves as Samson was actually hovering Nigel around everywhere. The wildebeests were not amused or impressed now.
"Oh, boy..." Samson moaned once he had been found out.
"Well, 'bout time you got here," Nigel said to his lion friend.
"Oh, Great Him, another miracle!" Kazar praised. "You've delivered us a real lion!"
"Oh, um, of course, when the Great Him delivers, he delivers in person." Nigel said.
"Blag, your luck has turned," Kazar told his minion. "Thanks to the Great Him, we shall all ascend tonight."
"Nigel, we've got to create a distraction." Samson whispered.
Nigel agreed, he mustered as much courage as he could once he hopped down from Samson's head. "Hang on a sec! I've got miracles coming out of my ears! Ready? Stand back as the Great Me attacks the lion over 73 times my size!" he then waved his torch like it was a weapon.
Benny and Akito kept leading the others away as Nigel tried to look menacing.
"Wait, what did Nigel just say?" Kopa asked.
"Dad?" Ryan turned his head. "My dad's alive! Guys, my dad made it!"
"Ryan, no!" Benny tried to stop the cub.
Ryan ignored that, he was going to reunite with his father. Nigel came onto Samson's head and was hitting him with his torch.
"His dad's alive!" Kopa smiled.
"Dad!" Ryan ran over with Kopa.
"Ryan!" Samson smiled in delight, but accidentally knocked Nigel off his back.
The wildebeests gasped for the koala bear.
"I planned this..." Nigel groaned from his fall.
Ryan and Kopa glared at the wildebeests and decided to roar at them to scare them off. Unfortunately, Ryan's roar still sounded like a strangled cat which made Kazar laugh.
"That, um, was close." Kopa said with a nervous smile.
The wildebeests surrounded the three lions.
"At long last, the cosmic balance has shifted," Kazar sounded evil. "Prey has become predator and predator has become prey! And the hoof finally trumps the claw!"
"Come on, guys," Ryan looked to his father and new friend. "Let's show these turkey-jerkies who's at the top of the food chain!"
"Let's eat the brats first." Kazar grumbled.
Ryan and Kopa looked nervous.
"Over my dead body!" Samson growled before charging to the wildebeests.
"Go, Samson!" Kopa cheered.
Samson charged for Kazar. Kazar shook a little and flung Samson right off from his face. Kazar looked rather menacing, but Samson had to fight, he was going to be a wild lion from then on. Samson even went so far as to swipe a horn off of Kazar's head and made it drop right in front of Kopa and Ryan. It was grotesquely awesome. Kazar rammed Samson onto his face and took him over to the lava pit and made the adult male lion now dangle for his life.
"He's gonna kill Samson if we don't do something!" Benny panicked.
"Hey! I know, why don't we use the secret play?" Larry suggested.
This caused for the zoo animals, full grown poodle, orange kitten, Pokemon, and human kids to look at the snake, surprised that he had actually come up with a good idea.
"I know, 'Shut up, Larry'," the snake mistook their stunned silence for annoyance. "That's stupid..."
"No, it's brilliant!" Akito smiled. "You used your brain for once!"
"I did? Yay! I used my brain!" Larry cheered.
Samson struggled to get up as Kazar made him dangle.
"They laughed at me when I spoke of the Omen," Kazar taunted the adult male lion. "But look who's laughing now!" he then stomped on top of Samson's paw to loosen his grip.
Samson yelled out in pain. Ryan gasped, very worried for his father.
"Come on!" Kopa told his new friend.
The zoo animals were trying out their secret play like in the turtle-curling game back at the penguin exhibit in the zoo.
"A little bit to the left." Vincent told them.
"Yeah, no!" Benny helped. "Little to the right."
"Next floor, bottom of the food chain!" Kazar smiled evilly as Samson was nearly slipping now. "Ding!"
"Fire!" Akito commanded.
Nigel let go of the small boulder in Nigel's paws and let it fling off of Larry's tail, it hit the volcano top and smashed Kazar in the head and he fell backward. Samson glared and pulled himself up off the top as the volcano shook.
"We need something bigger." Akito said.
"We know where we can find something bigger." Ryan and Kopa came up to the group and informed them together in unison.
The others looked curious, but listened to the lion cubs as Samson was now fighting Kazar.
"Are you sure about this?" Jenny asked once they were getting ready to try the secret play with their 'something bigger'.
"Yes, we're sure." Kopa said.
"This better work..." Larvitar muttered.
"It will." Akito told his Pokemon. "Ready, you guys?"
"Dig deep." Ryan and Kopa said together as Bridget and Nigel were now holding them back.
"FIRE!" Benny called.
Ryan and Kopa were then both flung through the air and both were roaring like the carnivores they were born to be and tackled onto Kazar, attacking him instantly.
"That was perfect!" Akito cheered.
"Ryan!" Samson called.
Kazar tried to buck them off and eventually did, knocking the two lion cubs off and made them have a rough landing.
"Ryan!" Samson cried.
Kazar snarled, coming for Ryan and Kopa, panting from the fighting. "I don't typically eat dessert before the main course!"
"Get away from my son and his friend!" Samson snarled and tackled onto the lead wildebeest now, before suddenly getting pinned down.
"Go, Samson!" Akito cheered.
Samson kicked Kazar off and made him hit the rock wall and fall flat on the ground.
