"Who said that?" Neddie asked.
"Who's there?" Dot added.
"Show yourself." Bella glared.
Cherry soon stepped out, showing herself with a grave look on her face.
"Ms. Cherry? Felicity's mom..." Everyone murmured once they saw her.
"Mother!" Felicity called and ran right over to her mother.
"Hello, dear," Cherry greeted, hugging her daughter a bit. "I'm afraid I have less than great news about this adventure and what's been going on with you kids after Ben proposed to Mal, Audrey cast a sleeping spell on Auradon, and these new adventures you've all been faced with," she then glanced over at the Oz Kids. "Well, not you too of course."
"It must be much more than what we know so far." Mal said.
"Yeah, because each of us have been sent back in time to different parts of fairy tale history of alternate Earths." Ben added.
"And all we know is that Esabella and her mother might be part of the reason of what's going on." Carlos concluded.
"It's not just them," Cherry replied. "It's The Queen of Darkness."
"Queen of Darkness..." The teenagers whispered.
"We've heard that name a lot during these adventures," Ben said. "Queen Narissa."
"Ms. Cherry, do you know her?" Carlos asked. "I don't think we've heard of her."
"Which I find strange, considering she's a villain and you guys are VKs." Audrey said to Mal, Jay, and Carlos.
"That may be so, but that doesn't mean we know every villain out there, at least personally." Mal defended.
"I don't know her personally, but it's a very long story," Cherry told them. "I should probably tell you after Doug and Evie come back home if they can save their own adventure like you all did when you went to those alternate Earths."
"I'm sure they will." Dot smiled.
"Yeah, after all, good always wins." Neddie smiled.
"Yep." Boris nodded.
"It might not last very long..." Cherry sighed and shook her head. "I know that good always wins, but with The Queen of Darkness having these plans, I'm not too sure."
Felicity frowned lowly and hugged her mother, trying to stay calm and hopeful with her friends. They all soon watched what would happen next with Evie, Doug, Alexandrite, and Hercules.
Back in the Emerald City, Evanora came to face an army as Theodora and Natalie watched in the background. "My very own Winkie guards, soon you will be facing Glinda and her army of weaklings and when they see our towering might, they will run and flee for the woods." she then told them.
"NO!" Theodora shouted as she addressed the army next. "We shall not let them flee! We shall show them NO MERCY!"
The army then cheered in excitement over that.
'This is coming along so perfectly.' Natalie thought to herself with a smirk.
Meanwhile with Oscar and the teenagers, Oscar smiled as he liked what he saw from what the tinker was showing him.
"I've added this adjustable lens to your design, along with a few other things," The tinker said as he lowered the lens. "Have a look."
The tinker and Oscar soon put on some special goggles as did the teenagers as the tinker pulled a lever, turning on the machine.
"All right, Doug... Just pretend it's like Woodshop with Mr. Gepetto..." Doug said to himself.
"Thanks for helping out and I'm sorry I misjudged you for being a child," Oscar said to the teenage dwarf. "You're amazing for your age."
"I'm the smart one in my family most of the time." Doug smiled bashfully.
"I can believe that~" Evie giggled before giving him a small kiss on the cheek.
The machine was soon turned on and it worked very well in their favor, thus creating a brand new movie projector.
"Oh, Doug! You did it!" Evie beamed before hugging him.
Doug chuckled and smiled, blushing happily from the hug and the accomplishment with the Tinkers.
"Yes! Edison himself would be proud," Oscar approved before the projector was soon stopped as he faced The Master Tinker. "Now, there's something else I need you to do, but, I'd rather you just keep it between us."
"Yes?" The Master Tinker asked him.
"Do you know how to build a hot air balloon?" Oscar asked him.
The Master Tinker looked curious as to why Oscar asked him that question, but the teenagers had a pretty good idea why.
"Is he gonna leave?" Meowstic asked.
"I dunno about right now, but I remember hearing a story about this." Evie whispered to her.
Meowstic then nodded, not saying anything else because of the rules of time-traveling.
Eventually, later on, Oscar began to meet Glinda down into town. "This is all very impressive, but you still haven't told me how you plan to get this thing into The Emerald City." he then said to The Good Witch.
"Relax, I know someone." Glinda reassured.
"What do you mean, you know someone?" Doug asked as they met up.
Glinda looked down and winked at someone behind the group besides their Pokemon and they saw a familiar friend from Emerald City.
"Hello, Wizard and friends." The tiny man greeted.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Old Sourpuss?" Oscar smirked as he turned around to him.
"Hmph! My name is Knuck!" The Munchkin corrected.
"Knuck... Right..." Hercules nodded. "Almost sounds like Knuckles the Echidna."
"Now you lot be nice to each other." Glinda advised, letting them get down to it together.
"Let's move it, Wizard!" Knuck huffed harshly towards Oscar.
"Can you give me a break?" Oscar complained.
"I'll break your nose!" Knuck threatened.
"Hey, I kinda like this guy." Hercules smirked playfully.
"Guess I'm up time to do what I do, right?" Oscar asked Glinda. "Cue the con man?"
"Would you stop? A con man couldn't have done this," Glinda told him. "You're so much more than that."
"Well, then it looks like I've got you fooled too." Oscar said.
"The only person you've got fooled is yourself." Glinda replied.
Hercules and Alexandrite chuckled a bit as Oscar flashed them a glare.
Glinda soon removed Oscar's hat and kissed him on his forehead with a small smile. "For protection. Not that you need it." she then told him before walking off.
"Last chance to turn back." Alexandrite told Oscar.
"And give all of this up?" Oscar replied. "I don't think so. I can't let these people down now."
"I worry about you sometimes, Mr. Diggs." Hercules tutted and shook his head.
"I can't turn my back on them now and neither can you two," Oscar insisted. "They need our help now more than ever."
"That's true." Hercules nodded.
"And we won't leave them taking treasure in a selfish way." Alexandrite added.
"Wait!" Margaret called out.
Alexandrite and the others soon looked to see Margaret making her way over to the other girl with the apple in her hand.
"Margaret..." Hercules greeted.
"Before anything happens... I suggest a special treat." Margaret advised.
"Oh. Um, okay." Alexandrite said.
"Here, a gift for giving us hope to defeat the Wicked Witches." Margaret told Alexandrite as she held out the green apple.
"Oh, why thank you." Alexandrite smiled as she accepted the gift.
"I knew that would like it." Margaret grinned.
"An apple?" Evie asked. "Why do I have a funny feeling?"
"Oh, I'm sure this apple won't do what your mother's apple did to Snow White and those adventurous friends of hers before Prince Charming saved her after the dwarves got rid of your mother." Margaret replied.
"Hmm... All right, I guess one little apple won't-" Evie nodded before her eyes widened. "Wait... How do you know about what my mother did?"
Margaret smirked as she suddenly backed away and disappeared before anyone could catch her.
"Margaret, come back here! We're not done!" Evie demanded.
"I-I'm sure it was just a coincidence, Evie," Doug said nervously. "It was nice of Margaret to get us a special gift for defeating The Wicked Witches in Oz."
"Should I eat it now or after we defeat the Wicked Witches?" Alexandrite asked.
Bunny shrugged as she wasn't sure.
"Well, it was a gift from her." Alexandrite said, looking ready to eat the apple.
"I... I don't know." Evie said.
Alexandrite looked over.
"It's a strange apple, isn't it?" Evie replied.
"Evie, it's just an apple," Alexandrite smiled. "It's not going to explode."
"No, but it might be poisoned." Evie said.
"Oh, come on, how could it be poisoned? Margaret gave it to me as a thank you." Alexandrite smiled.
"Yeah, that's right." Hercules nodded.
Bunny began to sniff the apple before looking worried. Alexandrite soon bit into the apple before anything else could be said or done. Evie bit her fist a bit nervously as Meowstic brushed up against her legs. Bunny soon cried out, panicking, and shaking her head at Alexandrite.
"Bunny, are you okay?" Alexandrite asked her Buneary.
"That apple didn't smell right." Bunny pouted at her trainer.
"What do you mean?" Alexandrite asked.
"I mean it smelled kinda funny and I mean the bad kind." Bunny said.
"Alexandrite, are you feeling alright after eating that apple?" Hercules asked his sister.
"Um, I-I think so." Alexandrite said a little out of fear.
"Whew... That's a relief," Evie started. "For a second there I thought that apple was-"
Alexandrite soon began to scream out suddenly.
"Poisoned...?" Evie finished weakly. "Uh... Alexandrite...?"
Alexandrite groaned as she held her head and screamed as her body glowed and flashed an unholy green color.
"Alex! Alex...?" Hercules frowned in concern.
"Oh, no..." Evie moaned lowly. "This doesn't look good."
"This is bad. This is bad. This is very bad." Doug panicked.
"But how did Margaret get her hands on a poison apple?" Glinda asked.
"Right now how do we cure my sister?" Hercules asked.
"Yeah, we can't just leave her like this." Bunny said.
"I... I'm not sure..." Evie frowned as she trembled.
"Oh, Evie..." Doug frowned back in cocnern.
"I didn't wanna go on this adventure! What can I even do?!" Evie cried out before she ran off suddenly.
"Evie wait!" Meowstic called out as she went after her trainer.
"There's gotta be some way to cure her." Oscar said.
"Yeah, but how?" Hercules asked.
"Now, now, let's try to be smart about this." Doug said hopefully and thoughtfully.
"If only we knew a way to cure her." Aipom said.
"You mean like magic or true love's kiss?" Bunny asked.
"Yeah." Aipom nodded.
"I guess one kiss could help." Doug replied.
"Well, as her older brother, I suppose it'll be up to me." Hercules volunteered, acting like the protective big brother he often always was around Alexandrite.
"Uh, shouldn't we ask Evie? After all, she's an expert in this." Meowstic said.
"Really?" Bunny asked.
"Yeah." Meowstic nodded.
"Where'd she go?" Bunny asked.
"C'mon, I usually can find her whenever a crisis like this happens." Meowstic advised.
Evie was soon sitting by herself and was trying not to stress herself out. Bunny and Meowstic were soon looking around for her.
"Don't worry, Alex; we'll get you feeling better soon." Hercules said softly as he sat beside his younger sister.
Aipom stayed by Doug's side as he didn't know what to do in the situation.
'I know that Evie will have the answer.' Doug thought to himself.
Meowstic and Bunny began to look for where Evie would be.
"This is great, but why do I have a sinking feeling in my chest?" Margaret asked herself as she watched this going on.
Esabella soon appeared. "Hello, Wicked Witch." she then greeted.
"Esabella." Margaret nodded.
"Did you do what you were supposed to?" Esabella smirked.
"Well, of course I did," Margaret replied. "Like The Evil Queen with Princess Snow White... Only, it doesn't seem that Alexandrite will wake up since she doesn't have her own Prince Charming."
"Oh, of course she won't; that's the plan. Now she'll be doomed to be dead, never to be woken up by true love's first kiss," Esabella smirked before laughing. "Oh, I just love being evil."
"So you mean she'll never wake up ever?" Margaret asked.
"That's right, isn't it wonderful?" Esabella smirked. "And to think all these fools are gonna die and it's all thanks to your help."
Margaret grinned a bit, though she began to feel weird on the inside.
"Is... Is she feeling guilty?" Felicity asked.
"She can't be!" Chip spoke up. "She's The Wicked Witch of the West's niece! She can't have a kind bone in her body!"
"Even though Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos coming to our school was to teach us otherwise," Ben reminded him. "Not to judge someone because of who their family is."
"That's true," Felicity replied. "Vitani's my best friend back in Pride Rock even if she was brought up during Scar's reign and is Zira's daughter, but we became good friends like Akito befriended Kion and Kopa and Estelle befriended Kiara."
"I just didn't think witches could feel guilt or bad about whatever they would do since they cast evil spells and magic on people." Chip replied.
"Well, it looks like she's starting to feel guilty after hearing that Alexandrite wouldn't be woke up with true love's first kiss." Neddie said.
Meowstic and Bunny continued to look around for Evie until they finally spotted her.
"I don't even know why I was sent here; I can't help." Evie pouted.
"Evie..." Meowstic called.
Evie soon looked over and held out her arms. "Oh, Meowstic," She then said as her Pokemon jumped up into her arms and they shared a hug instantly. "I'm sorry... Did I storm out without sending you to your PokeBall?"
"Yes, you did." Meowstic nodded.
"I'm sorry about that, Meowstic," Evie told her Pokemon. "I'm just not sure how I'm even going to help out during this adventure... I never really seem to do anything useful, not even back home when we had to face against Mal's mom or when Uma and Audrey turned evil."
"But you can help." Meowstic told her.
"How?" Evie asked.
"By helping us find a way to cure Alexandrite." Bunny said.
"Evie, please tell us, is there a way to wake up Alexandrite from her sleeping death?" Meowstic asked her trainer.
"Well, from my mother's poisoned apple, it was true love's kiss." Evie replied.
"Well, then we might have a problem because Alexandrite has never fallen in love before the only times she has were just crushes." Bunny said.
"Well, true love is more than just two people falling in love, but also family." Evie told her.
"It's true," Meowstic said. "Either from a family member or even from the love between a Trainer and her Pokemon."
"So... Can Hercules help Alexandrite?" Bunny asked hopefully.
"Hercules, sure, but maybe also you." Evie replied.
"Me?!" Bunny squeaked as her ears stood on end.
"Do you love Alexandrite, Bunny?" Meowstic asked the Buneary.
"Well, yeah, sure..." Bunny replied bashfully. "Ever since we first found each other a very long time ago."
"Well, the power of love, true love's kiss or not, can break the spell," Evie advised. "If we're lucky enough that is."
"Then let's hurry back to her and cure her from the poison apple." Bunny said.
"Yeah, come on, Evie." Meowstic smiled.
"Well..." Evie said.
"We need you with us." Bunny told her.
"...Well, all right," Evie replied as she stood up. "Might as well see what happens."
Meowstic and Bunny beamed before dashing off to go back with the others. Hercules wrapped Alexandrite up in her sweater, lightly stroking her hair to comfort her.
"So nice of you to look out for your little sister like that." Doug remarked.
"I've always watched out for Alexandrite for her whole life," Hercules said. "Well, along with some help from our parents and Pokemon." Hercules said.
"It's true." Muscles nodded.
Evie, Meowstic, and Bunny soon rushed over to Alexandrite.
"So, did you find out what we need to do to wake up Alexandrite from this sleeping death?" Aipom asked.
"Hercules, I think you or Bunny should try to kiss Alexandrite awake." Evie advised.
"Us?" Hercules asked.
"True love can be more than just a boyfriend or girlfriend, it can be from a special family member or even a Pokemon," Evie advised. "One kiss, it all comes down to this, one kiss will be all it takes."
Hercules soon glanced towards Bunny as he looked all around then.
"It couldn't hurt, right?" Muscules said to his trainer.
"No, I guess it couldn't," Hercules replied. "Well, I didn't think this would be that easy."
Evie smiled softly as she stood beside Doug, Aipom, and Meowstic. Hercules then knelt down a bit and leaned in to give Alexandrite a brotherly kiss on the cheek. And as he did that, Alexandrite's eyes began to start fluttering open as she woke up.
"It worked." Hercules smiled.
"Huh. Well, I'll be." Oscar added as he smiled..
"Oh, boy. That was a good nap." Alexandrite said with a yawn as she stretched her arms.
"She's alive." Wilhelmina sighed.
"What?!" Esabella glared.
"You scared me, Alex," Hercules smirked. "Don't scare me like that again."
"Sorry, big brother~" Alexandrite smirked back. "Next time, you go to sleep for a hundred years, then I'll wake you up next."
The two siblings then laughed together as Doug and Evie smiled warmly.
"It was supposed to keep her asleep with no hope," Esabella glared at Wilhelmina. "We're trying to rewrite history for The Queen of Darkness and that's why we're here and why I've been trying to trick and manipulate those descendants back in Auradon."
"What? But why? I don't understand." Wilhelmina said.
"Of course you don't! How could you? You're just a witchling!" Esabella glared.
Wilhelmina flinched as that stung a bit.
"Some wicked witch you're going to end up to be," Esabella huffed. "I should just get a bucket of water or drop a house on you and be done with you."
"Well, that was a little uncalled for." Wilhemina firmly pouted.
"I'm evil, what do you expect?" Esabella smirked.
"You know, I am beginning to regret joining sides with you." Wilhemina told her.
"Well, you're free to leave and if you try to tell anyone about what you heard, they won't believe you since you are a Wicked Witch," Esabella smirked. "At least in their eyes you are."
Wilhemina stepped back.
"Besides, I thought you wanted revenge the most on Felicity." Esabella then said.
"Felicity?" Mal blinked.
"Why would that girl wanna hurt Flick?" Jay wondered.
"You know, after HER mother got YOUR mother killed and defeated your aunt with Dorothy Gale." Esabella continued.
"Oh." Mal and Jay then said as that felt obvious now.
"Well, yeah, but now I'm starting to think maybe I don't have to be a Wicked Witch like my mother." Wilhemina said.
"Ugh! Great, you're reforming to good now?!" Esabella glared.
"That's right." Wilhemina nodded.
"What is wrong with you?" Esabella sneered. "You're raised to be wicked! You were born wicked! You came from a wicked family! Why on EARTH WOULD YOU WANNA BE GOOD?!"
"...My family's past and legacy in the past doesn't define me," Wilhemina decided. "My future and what I want defines me."
"Useless! All of you!" Esabella growled. "This is exactly what Queen Narissa is talking about!"
"So? We all can decide if we want to still be wicked or not or if we want to continue to be good or not; the decision is our own." Wilhemina told her.
"Ugh! This is crazy! I am out of here." Esabella glared before using her magic to teleport away.
"What is with her?" Wilhemina asked.
Everyone soon continued to gather around. Doug smiled as he linked arms with Evie and Hercules took Alexandrite's hand on the way to the crowd as something needed to be said. Wilhemina watched them and soon decided to go with them, disguising herself as Margaret Eastwood again so no one would suspect her, but she did decide to tell them the truth after this and maybe try to befriend them after the adventure was over.
Oscar took Glinda's hand as they stood in front of the Land of Oz so that he could make his announcement. "Great people of Oz, today we fight to free the land from the villainy of the Wicked Witches." he then started.
The crowd cheered in response to that.
"We are few, but we are MIGHTY!" Oscar continued as the crowd cheered again. "Quadlings! Tinkers! Munchkins! We face great odds, but we are armed with our courage, our hard work, and most of all, our faith in one another. We have nothing to fear as long as we believe. For when we do believe, anything is possible!"
The crowd cheered, looking very excited and eager to get started.
"Onwards!" Oscar then proclaimed.
The crowd soon cheered, feeling inspired to face anything.
'He sure got them feeling excited and eager and inspired to do anything.' Evie thought to herself.
The horse-drawn carriage was seen going on by itself with only three members of the army going down the path.
"And here comes the inspiring fanfare!" Doug cheered before he saw what was there. "Uh... Oh, that doesn't look very good."
"Well... Some is better than none..." Evie shrugged. "You ready to go?"
"I am if you are." Doug smiled warmly.
The boys soon helped the girls into the carriage as they soon rode along through the Emerald City together.
"Green is so your color." Evie smiled at Doug.
"Oh, Evie, you're so lucky to have a boyfriend," Alexandrite pouted. "I hope I have a boyfriend someday."
"Oh, I'm sure you will Alexandrite." Evie smiled.
"Thanks, Evie." Alexandrite smiled back.
"No problem," Evie giggled. "You remind me a little of Dizzy too."
"Is Dizzy your little sister?" Alexandrite asked.
"No, she's a very special younger friend of mine," Evie smiled warmly. "She's like a little sister to me. I'm so excited for her to join me and the others at our school and she'll be like my little fashion designing assistant."
"She sounds lovely." Alexandrite nodded as she hugged Bunny.
"Very much so," Evie beamed. "Maybe someday you can meet her."
Alexandrite and Bunny both smiled as that sounded pretty nice.
Eventually, after a very long while, they made it to the front gates of the Emerald City only to be stopped by the gatekeeper.
"Halt!" The gatekeeper demanded as the carriage came to a stop.
"Good day there, fellow Winkie guardsman." Oscar greeted as he was in disguise.
"What is your business here?" The gatekeeper asked him.
"Supplies for battle." One of the Munchkins whispered to Oscar.
"We bring supplies for battle." Oscar told the gatekeeper.
"I was told of no such delivery," The gatekeeper scoffed. "Where are your papers of transit?"
Then suddenly, he was hit on the head with a cane.
"Do you not recognize me?!" Knuck scoffed as the teenagers and Pokemon tried very hard not to laugh at that. "I'm Knuck, the city herald."
"Sir, I'm just trying to do my-" The gatekeeper tried to explain only to get hit right away again. "What I meant was-"
"Hm?" Knuck glanced at him, looking ready to hit him again.
The gatekeeper looked nervous and soon had the gates be opened up. "Let them pass! Let them pass." he then announced.
The gate was soon opened and the carriage soon drove forward. Knuck then hit the gatekeeper on the head one more time anyway as they made it through the gate. The teenagers and Pokemon tried their hardest to not laugh again after seeing Knuck do that to the gatekeeper. We are soon shown to the poppy fields before zooming in to see Glinda as she had her eyes closed as she used her magic over the mist/fog as it soon spread out into the field.
