126. Storybook Forest

Chapter 125: Storybook Forest

Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. Sorry about the wait, this one took a while to figure out, but I think you'll like what I have planned. Please Review and Enjoy.

In the middle of a dense forest, we look to see a small cabin in the clearing.

Walking out of the woods first was a teenage girl with brown hair covered by a red hood and carrying a picnic basket.

"Phew we made it." She smiles before turning around. "Hey guys it's over here."

Emerging from the forest we look to see Roxas and Cerise emerge.

"About time, Red." Roxas said.

"Yeah you really need to work on your directions." Cerise said.

"Hey we're here aren't we?" Red chuckles as they walk to the door. "Okay while I talk to Granny you guys wait in the living room. I don't want to surprise her too much just yet."

"Good call." Roxas said as Red walks in first.

"Granny. It's me, Red. Is everything okay?" Red calls out.

"Oh, yeah, sure thing. Come on in." A strange muffled voice said.

"Wait a minute…something isn't right here." Brooke said.

"Yes, this part of the story looks very familiar." The male narrator said.

"That's not what I meant." Brooke said.

Making her way to the bedroom, Red sees what appears to be an elderly woman.

"Who are you?" Red asks.

"I'm your grandma." She said.

"Your face looks really weird, Granny." Red said.

"I've been sick lately." Granny said.

"And your mouth doesn't move when you talk." Red said.

"Plastic surgery. Grandmas had a little work done. Now, come on over here. Let's have a look at you." Granny said gesturing for her to come over.

"So, what's going on, Grandma?" Red asks suspiciously.

"Oh, this and that, doing a lot of quilting. So, you got the loot?" Granny asks when Red noticed her hands.

"Whoa. What big hands you have." Red said.

"Oh, all the better to scratch my back with." Granny said scratching her back.

"And what big ears you have." Red said noticing some pointy ears.

"All the better to hear your many criticisms! Old people just have big ears, dear." Granny said.

"And what big eyes you have." Red said.

"Are we just gonna sit around here and talk about how big I'm getting?! You came here for a reason, didn't you? So tell old Granny what you got in the basket." Granny snaps.

"And what bad breath you have." Red cringed.

"Alright that's it." Reaching up the figure takes off the mask revealing Granny to be a wolf.

"You again?! Guys! He's here!" Red calls out.

Running in Roxas and Cerise glared down the Big Bad Wolf.

"Seriously do I have to get a restraining order?" Red asks.

"Hate to burst your bubble but I brought back of my own this time. Come on out ladies!" Wolf said as from under the bed Ramona and Blondie leaped out and tackled Roxas and Cerise.

"Hood?!" Ramona said surprised.

"What have you done with Granny?" Red asks.

"I'm taking Granny down and you along with her!" Wolf snaps when from out of the closet the real Granny hopped out tied up and gagged alongside Bunny, Ginger and Duchess who were muffling something.

"Granny?" Red gasps.

"Guys?" Roxas said surprised.

"It's you! But…" Before Wolf could finish bursting in through the glass window was a huntsman, Hunter and Ashlynn causing everyone to scream in surprise and shock.

"Whoa whoa whoa! What is going on here?!" Brooke asks confused.

"Ramona and Blondie with the Big Bad Wolf, Duchess, Ginger and Bunny tied up with Granny, Hunter and Ashlynn with the Woodsman and Roxas and Cerise with Red Riding Hood." The female narrator lists.

"Uhm I think we might be missing a few details." The male narrator said.

---

Soon the police showed up and the house was surrounded.

"Well this is low point for us." Roxas said as they all were sitting in the living room.

Ramona looks at Red sitting nearby and looks to Cerise.

'Whoa, a parallel mom and dad in the same room.' Ramona thought blown away.

"So how did you guys end up tied up in the closet?" Hunter asks.

"Long story." Duchess said when the door opens to reveal a bear and crane in police uniforms these were Police Chief Grizzly and Bill.

"Okay, Paul Bunyan here and his little forest clearers was swinging the ax, and wolfie was trying to eat the kids." Bill points.

"Excuse me? But I am not a forest clearer." Ashlynn said.

"Alright get a muzzle on that guy." Chief said pointing to Wolf before seeing Ramona. "And have a second one ready. I don't like the way this girl is looking at me."

"Put that muzzle on me. I dare you, see what happens." Ramona growls.

"Easy Ramona." Ginger said as she and Hunter stop her from going wild.

"Look I can explain everything." Wolf said.

"Well, you can explain it to the judge." Chief said before looking at the FAFs and Red. "Shouldn't you all be in school?"

"Shouldn't we have a lawyer?" Red smirks.

"Ha." Cerise mocks shutting him up.

"Uh, what are you doing?" Chief asks looking at some pigs eating from Red's basket.

"Oh uh Chief we were just—"

"Don't eat that! That's evidence!" Chief said as a muzzle was put on Wolf's mouth. "Okay I think we have a pretty open and shut case here. Little Miss Rosey Capes, her lookalike and bodyguard were making covert deliveries to the goody tycoon and her gang, Wolfie and his associates try to eat them all and then Crazy Flannel Pants with the ax and his team here busts in swinging vigilante-style. Take'em downtown!"

"Uh, it's the woods, Chief. We won't have a downtown." Bill said.

"You know what I mean. Just book'em." Chief orders.

"Throw a keyblade wielder in jail? Yeah that's smart." A snarky voice said.

Looking to the door, they see a tall frog in a business suit walk in.

"That's the problem with you bears, always growling up the wrong tree." He said.

"Hey Nicky. You on the case?" Bill asks.

"No, just stopping by to have a sarsaparilla. Say, Tommy, you lose some weight?" Nick smiles.

"Uh no." Tommy admits.

"Nicky Flippers. What are you doing here? This is my case." Chief said.

"And you almost through the wrong people behind bars." Nicky said walking up to the FAFs. "Not that they probably wouldn't have busted out instantly. Be honest I bet you have your keyblade ready?"

"How do you know about the keyblade?" Roxas asks surprised.

"I'm a detective boy. I look into these kinds of things. Now be honest. Point around and tell me who you came here with." Nicky said as Roxas points to his team. "Uh huh. Let the 9 of them go. They mean no harm."

"What?!" Chief snaps. "I had this case all wrapped up and you're letting more than half of them go?!"

"Maybe if you got out of your cave once in a while you would know the story of the keyblade, but maybe to avoid a problem you kids can explain how you got here?" Nicky asks.

Realizing that if they didn't, they would probably all go to jail before they sealed the keyhole.

"Alright, here's how we got here." Roxas starts.

Flashback:

We find ourselves on the Tempest as everyone celebrated saving Camelot and Chase's first mission.

"Well Chase you earned it." Roxas said holding out a Sea Salt Ice Cream. "You're one of us now."

Slowly Chase took a bite out of it and smiles. "Hmm not bad."

"Welcome to the Forever After Fighters." Roxas smiles patting him on the back before walking back to the party.

Hearing this Chase smiles before following to join him.

"So Red Knight. How's it feel to be a hero?" Stopping Chase looks to see Courtly nearby.

"Feels good, I gotta admit this was pretty wild and crazy and that's coming from someone who spent whole life in Wonderland." Chase chuckles.

"Yep welcome to usual for us." Courtly giggles.

"I think I'm gonna like being a part of this team." Chase chuckles.

"Cheers." Courtly smiles as they went to join the party.

"You know I liked that Firion guy. I hope his dream comes true." Goofy said.

"We certainly gave him enough flowers to help." Sora said.

"This was by far my favorite world. Knights, monsters, dragons, the perfect world for a Charming to shine in." Daring chuckles.

"I don't know, I don't think this is my kind of world." Dexter chuckles.

"I personally would love to come back. I really liked Devon and Cornwall, they're funny." Maddie giggles.

"Yeah when they actually get along." Sora chuckles.

By the window, Darling was leaning against the wall looking out.

"Hey there." Turning around Darling saw Roxas holding out some brownies. "Ginger just made these. Thought you might want a little treat."

"Always." Darling smiles taking one.

"I heard from Sora how you stood up against Ruber." Roxas said.

"Well someone had to show him how a real knight does things." Darling said.

"Darling you're 10 times the knight that loser could ever be." Roxas smiles.

"Aww thank you." Darling giggles.

"Who knows you might get good enough to finally beat me." Roxas chuckles.

"Oh thanks." Darling mocks causing both of them to laugh.

As Roxas takes a bite of his brownie a piece of chocolate was stuck to the side of his lip.

"Hey Roxas." Darling giggles pointing to her lips.

Pausing Roxas whips it but it just caused some chocolate to smear. "Did I get it?"

Moving in Darling leans in and kisses the chocolate right off him.

"Now you did." Darling giggles.

Blushing Roxas rubs his face.

"I'll take those off your hands." Darling said taking his dessert and walking over to join the party.

Seeing this Roxas couldn't help but smile before going to join them.

"Man Ginger is getting really good." Holly said eating a cookie.

"How does she do it?" Briar asks when they noticed Ginger with her mirrorpad out.

Walking to the kitchen, we see Ginger was helping Rin on the other line.

"Alright now try pounding the dough until it's flat." Ginger suggests.

"Now this I can do." Rin said hitting the dough with all his might causing flour to cover his face.

"I said beat not pulverize." Ginger giggles.

"Remy usually handles the baking." Rin said knocking some flour off him.

"Hey baking it fun, you'll get it." Ginger smiles when Huey, Dewey and Louie came in on Rin's side.

"Hey Rin who you talking to?" Huey asks.

"Oh hey it's Ginger." Louie said.

"Back off!" Rin said.

"Ooh do you like Ginger?" Dewey teases.

"Ooh!" The triplets said.

"Will you excuse me for one minute?" Rin asks turning the screen in the opposite direction so Ginger only saw the wall. "YOU THREE ARE DEAD!"

Watching it Ginger heard the sounds of screaming following by the banging of pots of pans.

"Oh Rin." Ginger giggles.

"Ooh who was that?" Ginger turns to see Briar and Holly by the door.

"Oh uh, that was Rin he's works for Scrooge as his chef." Ginger said.

"Ooh a man from the kitchen. Is he cute?" Briar asks.

"Well kind of." Ginger blushes when they heard a crashing noise.

Looking to the screen they saw Rin with some stains on his apron forcing the triplets to clean the dishes.

"I want all of them so clean I can see my face in them." Rin orders before turning the screen to him. "Sorry about that Ginger. These three are so annoying it's ridiculous."

"It's alright." Ginger smiles.

"Anyway, when I get this recipe figured out you'll be the first to know." Rin said.

"Can't wait and thanks for the curry recipe." Ginger said.

"Anytime." Rin said before hanging up.

"Hmm a little on the angry side but he has potential." Briar said impressed.

"He's really nice, he just takes things too seriously." Ginger said.

"Well no boy is perfect." Holly said.

"Have you tried asking him out?" Briar asks.

"I don't know. I mean he's a great guy but do I like-like him or do I just like him?" Ginger asks.

"You'll never know unless you try." Holly said.

"I guess so." Ginger said.

Meanwhile in the back room, Ramona was with the Moogle as it was making a new weapon.

"Alright little guy, ever since my battle with Gray I've been a little slow on getting any new action. I need some gear that really speaks to me." Ramona said.

"Oh don't worry kupo. I've been working on just the thing." The Moogle said as multiple flashes of light went off and several materials were loaded in.

When the light dies down Ramona sees a small scarlet wolf device.

"What is that thing?" Ramona asks interested.

"I call it, the Wolf Howler, kupo." The Moogle said as Ramona picked it up.

"Uh I can howl just fine without this thing." Ramona said.

"Just try it out." The Moogle insists.

"Whatever." Ramona said as she clipped it onto her wrist so it was just over her right hand. "What do I do now?"

"Aim it at the target and you can fire a sonic howl or a powerful wind blast." The Moogle explains.

"Oh like my dad's huffing and puffing." Ramona realized.

"Yes, but this way you won't run out of breath." The Moogle explains.

"Well I guess I can give it a shot." Ramona shrugs when suddenly the World Map went off getting everyone's attention.

Walking to the World Map, Roxas opens it revealing a tall mountain and a thick forest with a cabin on the far end.

"Storybook Forest? That's an interesting name." Riku said.

"How do we decide who goes for this one? It could be based on any of our stories?" Briar asks.

"Well Blondie and I have to go." Roxas said.

"Hold on I have an idea." Lizzie said stepping forward. "Before we left Fiore, I asked Cana to teach me that card spell that she used to divide our teams. Maybe I can try using it to figure out who should on this mission."

Stepping forward Lizzie shuffles her deck of cards before 7 cards started to glow in response to the world.

"Okay according to the cards, these ones should join Roxas and Blondie." Lizzie said revealing Cerise, Ramona, Ashlynn, Hunter, Duchess, Ginger and Bunny.

"Sweet. Finally a little action." Ramona grins.

"Finally some spotlight." Duchess smiles.

"Wait, that's me? Are you guys sure? I don't really have much experience on missions." Ginger said.

"Then if you ask me you should come with us so you can do this more often." Ashlynn said.

"You can do it Ginger, you've been by our side since day one." Briar said.

"I can't wait to see what this world has in store." Hunter said.

"It is nice to be back in the action again. I wonder which story this one has?" Ashlynn asks.

"I'll admit I usually like having another Wonderland Kid with me." Bunny said.

"Don't worry Bunny you can handle it." Alistair assures.

"And my Best Friend Forever After is on that team. You'll be fine." Courtly said.

---

As they arrived at the world, the 9 of them exit the Tempest.

"Hang tight guys." Roxas calls out before they entered the forest.

"This dark forest. It feels familiar." Cerise said.

"Yeah it does." Ramona agrees.

However, before they could do anything Bunny heard something.

"Guys, we got trouble." Bunny points.

Looking down the path they saw Heartless but the worst part was they were all going in different directions. One group went into the forest, one went to some shop areas, one went towards the mountains and the last one went to a place called Burgenburg.

"Well this is a first." Blondie cringed.

"There's no way we can catch up to all those groups." Hunter said.

"Everyone split up and go after a group. Cerise you're with me!" Roxas said as he and Cerise ran towards the shop areas.

"Come on Blondie!" Ramona said as she and Blondie ran towards the forest.

"Hunter come on!" Ashlynn said as she and Hunter ran towards Burgenburg.

Pausing Ginger, Duchess and Bunny looked to see the only path left was the ones going to the mountain.

"Aw man." Duchess groans.

"Come on, if we hurry we can catch them." Bunny said as they ran towards the mountain.

Flashback End:

"And after that we all split up to handle the Heartless in the different areas, we saw them in. I don't know what happened with the others until we all met here." Roxas finished.

"And then Roxas and Cerise ran into me." Red calls out getting their attention.

"I see, well that clears these heroes." Nick said walking to her. "What's your name?"

"Red." She states.

"Why do they call you that?" Nick asks.

"Why do they call you Flippers?" Red glares.

Pausing Nick cringed remembering how he got that name. "Uh no reason."

"They call me Red because of this red hood I wear." She said.

"And what about when you're not wearing it?" Nick asks.

"I usually wear it." She deadpans.

"Look even if these 9 are innocent that doesn't excuse the rest of them. Recipes have been coming up missing all over the forest. Goody shops have been going out of business for months, and the trail ends here. I got a case to close." Chief said.

"Slow down, Chief. We've got four suspects, and that means four stories, and if you get people talking long enough, someone will spill the beans." Nick said.

"Look, could I just make a phone call?" Wolf asks in a muffled tone before he ended up getting zapped. "Aah!"

"I'll tell you what happened." Red said.

In the next room, Red, Cerise and Roxas sat across from Nick as they had a tape player set up.

"What's with the handcuffs on little kids? Their wrists could slip right out. How about a cage?" Nick suggests.

"Bring in the cage!" Bill said into a speaker.

"I was being sarcastic." Nick said.

"Sarcasm, strike the cage." Bill groans as they heard a groan on the other side.

"Law enforcement at its finest folks." Brooke said in a sarcastic tone causing Roxas to chuckle.

"Alright get the cuffs off them." Chief said as they all sat down.

"Since you two were with Red you can help fill in a few blanks." Nick said.

"Sure thing." Cerise nods.

"So, Red, why don't you explain how this all began?" Nick asks.

"Well like any other day. I was making deliveries for my Granny's Goodie Shop." Red starts.

Flashback:

We find ourselves with Red as she was pedaling her bike through the small woodland shop area.

As she pedaled around making deliveries a small bunny in a hat was hopping by.

"Hey, Red! Oh! Nice outfit." He said before hopping into her basket. "Always red with you. You must be in autumn." He said causing her to chuckle.

"Hey, Boingo. Aren't you helping the Muffin Man today?" Red asks.

"Oh, he closed up shop. Someone took all his recipes last night, and now I'm out of a job." Boingo frowns.

"Oh, gee, Boingo, I'm really sorry. Are you still running the cable car?" Red asks.

"Yeah, yeah, I am. But it's nothing like making goodies all day." Boingo said.

"Would a carrot crumpet make you feel better?" Red offers holding out a little dessert with a carrot on it.

"Oh, boy, oh, boy! Thanks, Red. I can always count on you to deliver, you little rascally devil." Boingo smiles taking it.

"Yeah, well, the woods don't go around by themselves." Red sighs as Boingo hops off her bike and into the woods.

But once he did Flower Riders, Giant Watermelon's and Chomper Egg Heartless appeared around her.

"What in the?!" Red gasps as the Flower Riders raced up alongside her and banged into her from both sides. "Hey if you want some treats you gotta pay like everyone else!"

However before she could escape the Giant Watermelon rolls in and knocks Red off her bike and onto the ground.

Looking to see the Heartless move in Red braces herself for the worst when Cerise leaps in and slashes a Giant Watermelon in half destroying it.

"Get moving!" Cerise yells surprising her.

"Who are you?" Red asks when Roxas leaps in and slashes a Flower Rider with Flames of Union burning it.

"Talk later, get moving!" Roxas said.

Not needing to be told twice, Red grabbed her bike and ran behind some rocks.

Attaching her blade back to her shoes, Cerise charged in as a Flower Rider raced towards her.

At the last second Cerise leaps over it and swings her leg slashing the flower sending it crashing into the rocks destroying it.

"Aeroga!" Roxas said creating a gust of wind hurling the Giant Watermelons into the trees destroying them.

As the Chomper Eggs fly in Roxas and Cerise jump down dodging their attack.

Getting back up they see the Chomper Egg circling them before flying in a V shape towards them.

"Cerise!" Roxas said.

"Right!" Cerise said grabbing his arm.

"Mystic Wolf!" Roxas and Cerise unleash their limit break creating the red energy wolf which smashes into the remaining Heartless destroying them.

"Wow thanks for saving me." Red said coming out of hiding.

"Hey no trouble at—" As Cerise turns around she stops midsentence in shock finally getting a good look at her.

"Uh hi I'm Roxas and this is Cerise." Roxas said equally surprised.

"Name's Red, like the hood I'm wearing." Red smiles pointing to it.

"Oh my fairy godmother." Cerise mumbles blown away.

"What were those things?" Red asks.

"Heartless, we were chasing after them." Roxas said.

"Well good thing you caught up with them or I'd be a goner." Red said as she looks at Cerise. "I see I'm not the only one who likes the hood look."

"Yeah it suits me." Cerise smiles.

"Hey how about as a thank you we go back to my granny's goodie shop and I get you guys something, on me." Red offers.

"Sounds great." Roxas said as Red led the way while Cerise looks to him.

"Roxas, it's my mom." Cerise whispers.

"No wonder Lizzie's cards picked you and Ramona for this place, this is based on your story." Roxas whispers.

"Whoa, that means this also Hunter's story." Cerise realized.

"This is amazing." Roxas said as they took out their Mirrorphones to try and reach the others. "Dang it, no signal."

"You can never service in the forest." Cerise said.

"Guess it's just you and me for right now." Roxas said.

"I'm fine with that." Cerise said holding his hand as they walked alongside Red when they noticed quite a few places had the "Going Out of Business" signs all over.

"What the?" Roxas said when the three of them came to a stop to see a family of beavers leaving their place.

"Come on kids." The mother said.

"Where are we going now, mama?" A boy asks sadly.

"Hey Red, what's going on here?" Cerise asks concerned.

"The Goodie Bandit. For the past few months someone has been stealing recipes all over the place. No recipes, no business." Red frowns.

"That's horrible." Roxas said.

"Hang on, I need to make a quick call to Granny." Red said stopping at a payphone.

"Stealing goodies, oh man I wonder how Ginger would react to this?" Cerise asks.

"She'd be furious." Roxas said.

"Your recipes are the most famous in the whole forest, Granny. What if they get swiped? It could wipe you out. Maybe I should bring you the recipe book, just for safekeeping." Red said into the other line.

"A trip up the mountain is too dangerous for a little girl." An elderly voice said.

"I'm not so little anymore." Red said.

"Please, dear, you just keep the recipes there, and everything will be fine." Granny insists.

"But—" Before Red could finish her Granny had to go.

"What happened?" Roxas asks as she walks back.

"My granny's program was on and she hung up. She thinks I can't do anything on my own." Red sighs.

"We've been there." Cerise said as Red led her back to her shop.

"So what were you guys doing before those things show up?" Red asks.

"Well Roxas and I are part of a special group, we travel all over helping people." Cerise explains.

"I wish I could do that. I would go all over the world but I'm just a kid. I can't do that." Red frowns.

"Hey so are we but that doesn't stop us." Roxas said causing her to smile softly when they suddenly heard the sound of glass shattering.

"That doesn't sound good." Red said as they ran towards the noise.

Little did they know, in another part of the forest a portal of darkness opens revealing two figures in Organization XIII coats.

"Hmm I like this place." One said looking around.

"Agreed." The other took off her hood revealing Resecix. "A girl like me can go as wild as she wants without anyone stopping me."

"Save some for me, Wolf." The other one said revealing it to be a female. "First we need to get our hands on the right targets."

Grinning both Resecix and the other Organization Member ran off in different directions.

---

At Red's Goodie Shop, they arrive to see the window was broke.

As Red opens the door, she sees a rock on the ground.

Bending down to pick it up we see the words "You're Next!" written on it.

"You're Next. I don't like the sound of that." Cerise said.

"I guess this Goodie Bandit is after you." Roxas realized.

"Guys, I know my Granny said I'm too young to go up the mountain alone, but she didn't say I couldn't bring help." Red points out.

"We're in." Roxas and Cerise nod.

Going to a picture of Granny, Red pulls it down revealing a safe.

Opening it up we see her place a recipe book at the bottom of her basket before putting a tray of goodies on top of it.

---

Soon the three of them were on Boingo's cable car riding over the forest.

Inside, Roxas and Cerise were leaning against the rail as Red and Boingo were nearby.

"I guess running the cable car's not so bad, you know, it's a great way to see the forest without worrying about all those big, mean, hairy beasts out there." Boingo said walking over to the window.

"Beasts?" Red asks walking over to the window with them.

"Oh, yeah, you know, beasts. The wolves, and the bobcats, and the mountain lions, and the... saber-tooth tigers but mostly wolves. The forest can be a dangerous place for a little guy like me. Look at me, I'm fuzzy and…hey do you usually deliver up this far?" Boingo asks.

"Not usually but this is a big order and I needed help." Red said.

"Hmm well I hope you two watch out for each other." Boingo said.

"Don't worry we can handle ourselves." Roxas said.

"I was thinking about what you told me earlier. About the Muffin Man? I need to protect Granny's recipes from that bandit's evil plan. They're gonna shut down everyone in the forest if we're not careful." Red said when suddenly the door they were leaning against swung open causing Roxas, Red and Cerise to wobble and fall out.

"No!" Boingo tried to reach to grab them but Red grabs the basket instead as the three of them hit multiple tree branches before hitting the ground.

"Ugh." Roxas groans to see Cerise and Red land next to him.

"Is everyone okay?" Red groans getting up.

"Been worse." Roxas groans as he helps Cerise up.

"That bunny friend of yours needs to have that cable car of his fixed. Good thing we weren't too high up." Cerise said getting up.

As Red bends down to pick up her basket she sees a giant pawprint on the ground. "Huh?"

Suddenly they heard a growling noise and see some eyes looking at them.

"Uh guys." Red gulps.

Both were about to summon their weapons when a little squirrel drops down in front of them and when it opened its mouth a flash of light briefly blinded them.

"Ugh what was that?" Roxas groans rubbing his eyes when he sees the Big Bad Wolf in front of them.

"Afternoon." He said surprising everyone, especially Cerise.

"No way." Cerise gasps seeing her dad.

"Uh hey there." Red said.

"So, you're the little girl in the red hood. That was quite a bit of falling you three did just now." Wolf said.

"Oh you saw that?" Red asks nervously.

"Yeah gravity doing its job. Those cables cars…ugh you kids should write a letter about that." Wolf suggests.

"Yeah good call." Cerise said as Wolf looks at her.

"Hmm she your sister or something?" Wolf asks.

"No, we just met today." Red said.

"Ah I see, showing the folks around the place huh?" Wolf said. "Hey something smells good. Are those goodies in there?"

"I'm not supposed to talk to strangers." Red said.

"No, you shouldn't. Good call. What are you three doing way out here in the big, bad forest? You going somewhere with your goodies?"

"My Granny." Red said suspiciously.

"Granny? Granny Puckett? The goody lady? My goodness, she makes some good, goodies. She's got a thing, it's like a... It's like a, uh, cookies. Shortbread, chocolate icing between, very... It's good. Ah, it's very good. You make deliveries to your Granny often?" Wolf asks.

"I don't think I should tell you that." Red said.

"Oh. You don't have anything else in that basket?" Wolf asks.

"You ask a lot of questions, mister." Red said.

"Well I'm a curious guy. Let me have a look." Wolf insists.

"I don't think so." Red said when Wolf let out a roar causing Red to scream.

Moving in Roxas and Cerise kick Wolf sending him tumbling through the bushes.

"Run!" Roxas yells as they ran through the forest.

Running as fast as they could powerful blasts of wind blew the leaves off trees behind them.

"What was that?!" Red gasps.

"Don't turn around!" Roxas said as they turned a corner to see Wolf waiting for them.

"Gotcha!" Wolf said when Red sprays him with Wolf Spray causing him to scream in agony.

Cutting through the bushes the three of them hid behind a tree trunk.

"How do we lose him?" Red asks when Cerise thought of something.

"I got an idea, give me your hood." Cerise said.

Taking off her hood, Cerise put on Red's hood and raced ahead while Roxas hid Red behind some bushes as Wolf chased after her.

"Get back here!" Wolf yells when Cerise jumps down and stabs her sword into some rocks while Wolf ends up falling over the edge and into the river.

Running over Roxas and Red see the Wolf being dragged down the river.

"You can't hold onto those recipes forever! I'll get you, and your little Granny, too!" Wolf calls out before disappearing.

As Cerise climbs back up Roxas grabs her hand and helps her up.

"Clever thinking." Roxas smiles.

"I have my moments." Cerise said taking off the hood and Red sees her ears.

"What's with the fake wolf ears?" Red asks.

"Oh uh…it's a long story." Cerise said.

"Hmm really? Well alright." Red said putting her hood back on. "Come on we need to keep moving."

As Red walked away Cerise looks at her hood.

"Hey you okay?" Roxas asks.

"Yeah I'm fine. It's weird when people see the ears and aren't shocked anymore." Cerise said.

"Well they don't know the girl with the ears." Roxas smiles.

"Aw thanks." Cerise smiles putting her hood back on as they followed after Red.

Flashback End:

"Well, that settles it. We got our bandit." Chief said.

"Could be. I'd like to count my chickens after they hatch." Nick said.

"Chickens?" A pig cop asks.

"You've gotta admit, a wolf stopping kids in the middle of the forest, it's pretty creepy." Red said.

"You have no idea." Cerise said knowing exactly what she was talking about.

"Right. Yes, yes. But we don't arrest people for being creepy." Nick said as one Pig cop grabs his walkie talkie.

"Yeah, Bruce. You know that guy we got in the tank?" He said.

"The Creepy one?" Bruce answers.

"Yeah. Better let him go." He said.

"See this is why no one likes the Police anymore." Brooke said.

"Brooke even if it is true there are some things you shouldn't narrate." The female narrator said.

"So how did you three get to Granny's?" Nick asks.

"Well lucky for me, Roxas and Cerise found an old trail on the side of the mountain." Red starts.

Flashback:

Climbing up the old mountain trail, Roxas was up front looking for Heartless or Wolf letting Cerise and Red walk together.

"So Cerise, what's the deal with you and Roxas? You guys seem pretty close." Red asks.

"Yeah, he's well my boyfriend." Cerise smiles.

"You two look good together. How did that happen?" Cerise asks.

"Uh also a long story." Cerise admits.

"Cerise! Red! I see something up here!" Roxas calls out.

Following him they see a mine cart shack up ahead.

"Hello?" Red asks as she leads Roxas and Cerise towards a goat who was on the porch using its horns as a rocking chair and with a banjo in his hands. This was Japeth.

Japeth sung random words, much to the confusion of Roxas and Cerise.

"Anyone home?" Roxas asked.

"I'm looking for Granny Puckett…" Red started.

"Oh Granny Puckett—" Japeth sang.

"Any chance you could stop singing?" Cerise asked.

"A no I can't." Japeth continued to sing. "But 37 years ago, a mountain witch done put a spell on me. And now I gotta sing everything I say."

"That's nothing new, compared to what we deal with." Roxas rolled his eyes.

"Everything?" Red asks.

"That's right." Japeth said in a normal voice.

"You just talked! Just now!" Red points.

"Did I?" Japeth asked before singing "Oh did I? Ooh!"

"Are we sure he's cursed?" Brooke asked.

"I think he just does it for attention." The male Narrator said.

"No he's just crazy." Roxas replied.

"Can we use your phone?" Red asks.

Letting them in, Red dials her Granny the second time.

"What's that? Who's there?" Granny said in a rushed tone.

"It's Red. I'm on my way to come see…" Red starts.

"Oh, my dearie, I-I'm not prepared. I need to put down fresh doilies." Granny said when a loud noise went off behind her.

"Incoming!" Some new voices said.

"Granny! Granny! What's wrong?" Red said in a panicked tone.

"Gotta go, munchkin. Bonsai!" Granny screams hanging up.

"I do not like the sound of that." Roxas said.

"Mr. Goat, my Granny's in trouble. We've gotta find a way around the mountain, fast." Red said.

"Well you came to the right goat." Japeth sang taking off his horns.

"Oh great more singing." Red groans.

(Play Be Prepared)

37 years ago a witch done put a spell on me

A spell where when I'm talkin' I'm singin' it with glee

When you're always singin' you got to live alone

That's why I made this mountain shack my home

"We don't need a life's story! We need help!" Cerise yells.

And when you're on the mountain, you got no guarantees

That life will turn up roses or turn out as you please

When you're on the mountain, there's lots to be a'feared

That's why this here old mountain goat's prepared!

Looking around Cerise spots a map of tunnels.

"Hey look over here." Cerise said.

"Maybe we can use one of these tunnels." Roxas said.

"I need the one that gets to Puckett Grove." Red said turning to Japeth who continued to sing.

"Shut up and get down here you liar!" Roxas snaps.

Be prepared, be prepared

This lesson must be shared

This lesson must be shared, be prepared

Be prepared, be prepared

And unless you got a spare

You got one life so handle it with care

"This isn't a song anymore is it?" Roxas cringed.

"Worse. He's advertising now." Cerise cringed.

I got horns that open bottles

And I got horns that hold my keys

I got horns that when you turn 'em right

They help me watch TV

I got horns that open pickle jars

And horns that come with hair

I got horns that hang my other horns

I always come prepared

Be prepared, be prepared

This lesson must be shared

This lesson must be shared, be prepared

Be prepared, be prepared

And unless you got a spare

You got one life so handle it with care

"Does this guy ever stop?!" Brooke said annoyed just like everyone else.

"SHUT UP!" Her parents yelled.

Pulling a switch, Japeth, Red, Roxas and Cerise drop down into a mine cart.

"Yeehee, keep your hands and feet inside of the vehicle at all times." Japeth said as they started going down the mine cart like it was a rollercoaster.

Struggling to hold on, Roxas look to see the goat was doing some annoying scatting.

Both were about to give this goat a real curse to deal with when they suddenly heard a rumbling.

"Tell me that someone's stomach." Roxas gulps.

"It wasn't." Cerise gulps.

Turning around they saw an avalanche coming down causing them to scream.

Ooh, an avalanche is comin' and I do not feel prepared

It's rumblin' like a mountain lion, I must say that I'm scared

And if not for the witch's spell you'd hear just how I scream

But since I'm only singin', I'll just yodel till we're creamed

(Song End)

As Japeth yodeled Cerise clung to Roxas for dear life.

Upon entering a tunnel they look to the other end hoping for a way out when they look to see the track was destroyed.

Screaming in horror all of them were sent flying off the rails and into the air.

"Red!" A voice calls out.

"Did you hear that?" Red asks.

"If I did I'd be prepared." Japeth sang.

"Shut up." Roxas said bluntly before he and Cerise looked to Red. "I heard it too."

Red turned and gasped to see Granny in the clouds. "Granny?"

"Use the hood, Red! Use the hood!" Granny calls before going back into the clouds.

Red unties her hood and flies off while using her foot to hold onto the basket.

As Roxas looks to Cerise she instantly copies Red and used her hood like a parachute while Roxas summoned his Glider to avoid crashing down.

"Parachute hoods. Now that's cool." Brooke said.

"I have to agree with you there Brooke." The male narrator said.

"Everyone okay?" Cerise asks when they heard helicopter blades. "You hear that?"

Everyone looks to Japeth as he now had antlers with helicopter blades.

"Seriously?!" Roxas groans.

"I was prepared." Japeth sang before flying off.

"He has no curse." Cerise shakes her head.

Flashback End:

"After that we arrived at Granny's house and then we find the Wolf and his sidekicks hiding around." Red said.

"Then we find Granny and some of our friends tied up in the closet." Cerise adds.

"And finally the axe guy comes jumping in with the rest of our friends screaming like a maniac." Roxas finished.

"That's it?" Nick asks.

"Pretty much." Roxas nods.

"That wolf was gonna eat us all." Red swears.

"The guy's pawprints are all over the room. Book him!" Chief said.

"Hold the phone, fuzzy-wuzzy. Let's hear it from the wolf's group." Nick said as Red, Roxas and Cerise were let out so Wolf, Blondie and Ramona could walk in.

"Don't I get a drink?" Wolf asks.

"No!" Chief snaps.

"Well you're a grumpy old bear." Blondie said.

"So, Mr. Wolf, my I call you Wolf?" Nick asks.

"You can call me Sheila. I like long walks and fresh flowers." Wolf smirks.

"Nice." Ramona chuckles as they high paw.

"Quit playing around, Wolf! You're looking at three-to-five in an old shoe with no windows! So, start singing!" Chief orders.

"Your face looks familiar." Nick said.

"I get around the forest." Wolf said.

"What do you for a living, Mr. Wolf?" Nick asks.

"I'm Shepard." Wolf said was Bill whacks his baton near him. "Hey!"

"You might as well confess. We told them everything!" Red points.

"Could you keep her away from me, please?" Wolf asks.

"I remember you. Three years ago on the Stiltskin case. You were snooping around for a lead on his real name." Nick recalls.

"I was close, too. I was gonna go with "Greg." Greg Stiltskin." Wolf said.

"Uh…not really." Everyone from EAH said.

"Uh, wait a minute, Flippers! You saying this guy's a cop?" Chief asks.

"Worse, he's a reporter." Nick said surprising them.

"Wait what?" Cerise said looking at the parallel version of her dad.

"And we've got the real story." Wolf starts. "I'm an investigative journalist. You've probably read my column Facts and Fairy Tales. I spent the last six months undercover investigating the so-called Goody Bandit. As more recipes go missing, the trail has gotten hotter."

Flashback:

In the forest, Wolf was taking notes on his case.

"Ugh no desserts. Talk about a waste of time." Wolf said putting his notebook away. "Dang it, I gotta figure out why all these goodies are being stolen before the whole forest goes out of business and there's only one person left to investiage."

However before Wolf could leave multiple Nimble Bee, Candy Apple and Scarlet Tangos appeared.

"Whoa!" Wolf said startled as the Heartless turned to him. "Well this is a scoop." Wolf said when a Scarlet Tango hurls a fireball at him forcing Wolf to duck. "Hey watch it!"

Buzzing the Nimble Bees zoomed in causing Wolf to scream when suddenly multiple lasers fly in zapping it causing the Heartless to explode.

"What in the?" Wolf said as Ramona charged in and slashes Candy Apple in half.

"You guys thought you could outrun me?!" Ramona calls out.

As Ramona fights them off Blondie runs over to Wolf.

"Are you okay sir?" Blondie asks before noticing him causing her to gasp.

"Yeah, yeah thanks for that." Wolf said getting up.

As Ramona aims her new weapon at them she tires to fire but the recoil caused her to blast wind upwards missing them completely. "Dang it. This thing is tough to aim."

"Look out!" Wolf yells as a Scarlet Tango fired at her making her stumble back.

"Ramona!" Blondie gasps activating her camera droids. "Hang on!"

As the droids fly in, they zap the Scarlet Tangos and Nimble Bees destroying them.

Shaking odd the damage, Ramona looks to see the Candy Apples charging in.

Growling Ramona readies her claws and knuckleduster before cutting them to pieces destroying them.

"Wow, those girls have spunk but what are those things?" Wolf asks interested.

Flying after Ramona, some Nimble Bees were about to sting her when Ramona uses Flowmotion to leap off a tree and kick in in the face while Blondie fires destroying the rest of them.

"Hey that was impressive." Wolf said walking out.

"Yeah no thanks to you." Blondie said as Ramona looks at him.

"I thought Wolfs were fighters." Ramona said.

"Sorry but I'm in the middle of an investigation and if I get hurt things could get worse." Wolf said getting their attention.

"Investigation?" Blondie asks.

"What were those things?" Wolf asks.

"They're Heartless and they make things bad for others." Ramona said.

"Clearly. Listen thanks for saving my skin but I need to find the Goodie Bandit before things get bad." Wolf said.

"Are you some sort of cop?" Ramona asks.

"I'm a reporter." Wolf said surprising them.

"No way, so am I." Blondie smiles.

"You don't say. Well Blondie, from one reporter to another maybe you can help me uncover some clues." Wolf said.

"Wait if you're a reporter where's your camera?" Blondie asks.

"Twitchy carries it." Wolf said.

"Who's Twitchy?" Ramona asks when they heard screaming to see a small squirrel fall out of the tree and land nearby.

"That's Twitchy." Wolf said.

"Hey, boss, I called. I beeped you. You get my beep?" Twitchy said in a quick tone. "Hey who are these girls? They with you? Are they good? Bad? What?"

"You gotta calm down." Wolf said.

"I got up early. I was watching the girl like you told me to, the girl in the red hood." Twitchy said getting heir attention.

"Red Hood? As in Little Red Riding Hood?" Ramona asks.

"The very same. Goodies have been stolen all over the forest and Red here is the biggest mover in the forest. If you girls would be willing to help me I could really uses some backup." Wolf asks.

"This is insane. My mom a criminal and my dad a reporter?" Ramona whispers.

"This is so not just right, but if more Heartless show up he'll need our help." Blondie whispers.

"Oh alright, but I am not a fan of this version." Ramona sighs. "Okay we're in."

"So Twitchy what did you see?" Wolf asks.

"She went past the porcupines and the red bird's tree and the guy with the long beard, and now she's up the creek! She sings everywhere she goes, la la la la la la la!" Twitchy said.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm way ahead of ya. We gotta find out who she's working for. You got the camera?" Wolf asks.

"I got the 220x and the photograb with the autofocus! Ooh, look at that, come with a 500 millimeter lens. You want the color or black and white?" Twitchy asks.

"Doesn't matter." Wolf said.

"I got a flash." Twitchy said taking a flash picture blinding them.

"Put that away! It's covert. No flash." Wolf said as they rubbed their eyes.

"Undercover, got it. Um-hmm. Nobody sees, nobody knows. Click click. Hee hee hee!" Twitchy smiles.

"You ever thought of laying off the coffee little fella?" Ramona asks.

"I don't drink coffee." Twitchy said.

Pausing the three of them look at each other.

"Wow, he's just naturally hyper?" Brooke said.

"Squirrels have a lot of energy Brooke." The female narrator said.

"So what do we do first?" Blondie asks.

"We need information. Luckily I know a guy." Wolf said.

---

Soon Wolf, Ramona and Blondie had sheep costumes on them as they walked through a herd of sheep.

"Wolfs in sheep's clothing, classic." Blondie giggles snapping a pic.

"Excuse me, pardon me." Wolf said as they stopped in front of a sheep with black hair and a gold chain around his neck. "What's up Woolworth?"

"What are you doin' here? The shepherd comes by and sees me talkin' to you, I'm gonna get the crook." Woolworth said.

"A sheep is in your informant?" Ramona asks.

"Hey this guy is everywhere. He's never given me a bad call." Wolf said.

"Who are they?" Woolworth asks.

"They're my new interns. Listen there's a bigger crook on the loose that I'm concerned about. What do you hear about the goody bandit?" Wolf asks.

"What do I know from goodies? Hiya, Twitchy." Woolworth said as Twitchy in a sheep costume baas nearby.

"I want to know about the little girl in the red hood." Wolf said.

"Don't know a thing, never heard of her." Woolworth said when Wolf slips him some Munny.

"Hmm I never thought of that." Blondie whispers impressed.

"Little red, processing, yeah, yeah, it's coming back to me now. Sweet gal. Not like that Bo Peep. That brat put in an invisible fence. I tasted my own fillings for a week." Woolworth said.

"Focus lamb chop. What do you know? Who does Red work for?" Ramona asks sick of this.

"How should I know? I ain't that curious." Woolworth asks when Wolf hands him some more Munny. "It's the family business. Ain't you ever heard of Granny Puckett?"

"Puckett?" Wolf gasps.

"That's her Granny." Woolworth said.

"Who's Granny Puckett?" Blondie asks.

"Only the best Goody Maker in the entire forest." Wolf said.

"Ooh." Ramona said interested.

"You pulling the wool over my eyes?" Wolf asks.

"Ha ha. Hilarious. Come up with that yourself? That's funny." Woolworth said sarcastically.

"You're looking awfully tasty right now." Wolf said.

"Why you gotta be like that? All I know is that the old lady lives up high in the hills. Not a lot of visitors." Woolworth said.

"Except Red?" Wolf asks.

"The word in the herd is, she's been known to take the cable car up the mountain." Woolworth said.

"Cable car?" All three of them said interested.

---

Soon the three of them were in the forest as Wolf was trying to use some spy equipment to listen in on the Cable Car where Red and unknowingly Roxas and Cerise were as well.

"Those sheep made me hungry. After this, we're grabbing a bite." Wolf said listening in with a radar gun.

"Sounds good, sounds good." Twitchy said as Wolf tried to listen but ends up pointing in the direction of Ramona and Blondie as he adjusted it.

"Honestly this is so boring. He says he's a wolf but he acts like such a chicken." Ramona said.

"Ramona, no need to be rude, he's helping us after all." Blondie said.

"Really? Seems like he's making us do all the work." Ramona said.

"Hey!" Wolf calls out as both girls look to see he could hear them.

"Uh do you mind?" Ramona asks.

"Seeing as how you're talking about me, yes I do." Wolf said.

"Keep that focused on that. Not us." Blondie said pointing to the cable car.

As they both walked a small distance away for more privacy, Wolf aimed it at the cable car but was getting some static.

"The Muffin Man, Granny's recipes, an evil plan. Shut down everyone in the forest." Red said.

"I knew it. She's working for the old lady, Twitchy." Wolf said looking to see Ramona and Blondie were talking in private. "Twitchy!"

As Twitchy took out his camera, Red, Roxas and Cerise fell out of the cable car and ended up breaking the branch causing Twitchy to swallow his own camera.

"What was that?" Ramona and Blondie were about to run over when Wolf puts a finger to his lips and shushes them telling them to hide and he would go first.

Falling out of the tree, Twitchy opens his mouth and a flash of light goes off causing Wolf to groan and walk out.

"Afternoon." Wolf said.

"Oh uh hello." Red said.

As they talked Ramona and Blondie snuck up to the bushes behind Wolf, Twitchy was trying to spit out his camera.

Rolling her eyes, Ramona gives him the Heimlich manuver causing Twitchy to spit it out.

"Gross." Blondie whispers.

Sticking his tongue out in disgust, Twitchy slowly disassembled his camera to disinfect everything.

"Wait those voices sound familiar." Ramona said when Twitchy winds up his camera but ends up snagging Wolf's tail causing him to scream making Red, Roxas and Cerise run off.

"I mean please come back." Wolf said before turning around. "What are you doing?"

"Sorry, I was just winding and your tail." Twitchy said.

"What happened?" Ramona asks as she and Blondie came out of the bushes.

"Red has backup. We need to catch them fast!" Wolf said causing Ramona to a smile.

"Chase a Hood now you're talking." Ramona said getting ready to run with her dad.

"Taxi!" Wolf said as a cab showed up out of nowhere causing Ramona to slip and fall.

"Are you freaking kidding me?!" Ramona snaps getting back up. "What kind of wolf uses a taxi to chase people?!"

"So... just me?" Wolf asks getting in and driving off to catch Red.

"Oh my fairy godmother I am losing it with this wimp!" Ramona snaps grabbing handfuls of her hair in frustration.

"Come on Ramona we've seen it before, not every version of our parents is a winner." Blondie said.

"Yeah but this guy sucks." Ramona said.

"Well look at this way, at least you know your dad is way better than that version." Blondie shrugs.

"I guess so." Ramona said when she heard something coming. "Look out!" Grabbing Blondie she yanks her out of the way as an Organization Member was about to attack Blondie while she was distracted.

"What the?!" Blondie gasps.

"It took you that long to notice I was here? One more second and I would have sliced your friend to ribbons." She mocks.

"An Organization member." Blondie growls.

Aiming her Wolf Howler, Ramona tries firing a blast of air from it but the Organization member kicks it up causing Ramona to blow the tops off a few trees.

"Too slow!" Delivering a powerful back kick the Organization member sends Ramona crashing into a tree.

Holding out her hands, claws of darkness appeared around the Organization members hands as she charged in.

"Ramona!" Activating her camera droids they fired multiple lasers forcing the figure to jump back.

Getting up Ramona aims her Wolf Howler and blasts the Organization member with a sonic howl sending them tumbling back.

"Well looks like this dog does have some bite." Getting up Blondie and Ramona gasp as the figures hood drops revealing her to be Ramona but with black and white lines in her hair.

"So it's true, they did make Nobodies of us." Blondie gasps seeing Xanamor up close.

"Y-You're me." Ramona gasps.

"Ha! As if, I'm better than you'll ever be. I don't need a pack, I'm a lone wolf something you always claimed you were before you got soft." Xanamor smirks.

"What?" Ramona growls.

"You think you're so tough but the truth is you rather stay in your big group where everyone can keep you safe. You're no bad wolf you're just a little puppy." Xanamor mocks.

"Hardly, I know every move you'll make." Ramona said readying her knuckleduster and charges in.

Using her dark claws, Xanamor and Ramona clash delivering powerful slashes and strikes.

"Bearmon help!" Blondie said summoning her Digimon.

"Bear Fist!" As Ramona pushes Xanamor back Bearmon nails her in the face.

"Nice one Blondie." Ramona grins.

"You can't beat all of us by yourself." Blondie said.

"Who said I was alone?" Xanamor smirks.

"You just you're a lone wolf." Blondie said.

"Yeah but I have a servant." Xanamor reaches into her pocket and pulls out a black digivice shocking them.

"It can't be!" Ramona gasps.

"BlackGaogamon!" Xanamor said as a dark copy of Gaogamon burst out and swings its claws knocking Bearmon to the ground forcing him to go back into Blondie's digivice.

"They have Digimon too?!" Brooke panics.

"Wait a minute how did you get a champion level already?" Blondie asks.

"Isn't obvious? Ansem picked a bunch of beginners for you weaklings but thanks to the data we took we can get whatever level Digimon we want." Xanamor grins as she and BlackGaogamon charge in.

Meanwhile with Wolf he was in the taxi driving through the forest when he spots Red, Roxas and Cerise as he drove past them.

"Whoa that's them. We just passed them, right here's good." Wolf said.

Pulling up at a clearing, Wolf takes out his tape recorder.

"Suspect and her backup is approaching on foot, stolen recipes in basket. I'm about to catch her red-handed." Wolf said as they ran past only to see him nearby.

"What the?" Roxas gasps.

"Hand over the basket!' Wolf said as Red sprays him in the face before Roxas and Cerise nail him in the face with two powerful punches.

As Wolf staggers back Red delivers a powerul kick sending him crashing into the bushes.

Flashback End:

"You mean to tell you me you got your butt kicked by three kids?" Nick asks.

"Oh yeah." Roxas chuckles.

"Nice." Ramona said as she and Hood five fived.

"I didn't know you were a fighter Red." Blondie said.

Smirking Red steps out of the way to reveal a framed picture of her in a karate outfit.

"Regional Champ." Red said.

"Ooh." Blondie said getting a picture of that.

"This sucks, you got a winner, and got stuck with this wimp." Ramona said.

"I'm right here you know." Wolf said.

"I know, take hint and lift some weights." Ramona said.

"Let's get back to the story shall we?" Nick asks.

Flashback:

As Wolf chased after what he thought was Red, he chased her to the cliff only for Red to leap down, but when Wolf leaps off, he ends up falling right into the river.

"Ok, not cool!" Resurfacing Wolf sees he was actually chasing Cerise who was wearing Red's hood. "You can't hold onto those recipes forever! I'll get you, and your little Granny, too!"

Floating down the river, Wolf sees a fisherman looking at him with a weirded out look.

"Well that's fishy." He said.

"What? They're evil. I'll prove it!" Wolf said when he heard a crashing noise.

"Dark Spiral Blow!" Firing a powerful dark blast, Ramona and Blondie were blasted out of the trees nearby and crashed into the river next to him.

"Have a nice swim you pathetic little pup!" Xanamor laughs before going back into the forest with BlackGaogamon.

"Well you look like you were on the wrong end of a butt kicking." Wolf said.

"Oh shut up." Ramona said as they floated down stream.

---

Eventually Wolf, Ramona and Blondie got out of the river and were sitting on a log trying to dry off.

"I can't believe my own Nobody kicked my butt so easily." Ramona said.

"She got into your head. They have a habit of doing that." Blondie said.

"But what if she's right? I mean what if I have gotten soft?" Ramona asks.

"You soft? Okay you are talking crazy." Wolf said.

"What do you know about me?" Ramona asks.

"Look, I've only met you for a short while but you are no softie. You're tough as nails Ramona." Wolf said.

"Thanks Wolf." Ramona said.

"How did the Nobodies get their own Digimon?" Blondie asks as Twitchy finally caught with them.

"So can we eat now?" Twitchy asks.

"Sure. You hungry for failure? Maybe a side of unemployment? Because that's what we're all having for lunch." Wolf said.

"What do we do now?" Twitchy asks.

"Things are more dangerous than ever. We have go right to the source. We gotta get to Granny's before the kid does and before your evil twin comes back for us." Wolf said.

"Ooh is it a surprise." Looking over the four of them saw Boingo hopping over.

"Excuse me?" Blondie asks.

"You're going over to Granny's house to surprise Red. Is it her birthday, or what, what is it? Is there some kind of shindig? Because I'm great at parties. Watch me pull myself out of a hat." Boingo said trying to do that.

"Uh yeah big surprise party. You know how to get there?" Ramona asks.

"Oh, yeah. Yeah. In fact, I know a shortcut." Boingo nods.

"You hear that girls? He knows a shortcut." Wolf smiles.

"Over the woods and through the river, no, you don't want to go through the river, you'll get all wet." Boingo said trying to recall it.

"You see girls when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade." Wolf said.

---

However, they were soon walking through a dark wet cave holding their mirroprphones as flashlights.

"Oh great shortcut." Ramona said sarcastically.

"And then that lemonade goes bitter and ferments and turns to pig swill. Never trust a bunny with directions." Wolf said.

"Sure thing, boss. Never trust a bunny!" Twinky said.

"Good thing Bunny didn't come with us." Blondie mutters.

"Well the only good thing is at least we're all dry." Wolf saud when they ended up dropping down into the water.

"You were saying?" Ramona glares.

"Why couldn't I write movie reviews?" Wolf groans. "We are in quite the pickle. I blame myself."

"I blame you too." Ramona said.

"Oh shut up." Wolf growls.

"Ugh that bunny was no help at all, not to mention he wrote the directions on an Easter egg." Blondie said holding up an egg with directions. "How do you even read this?"

"We're gonna die in here!" Twitchy said.

"Hey that's what they said at the alamo." Wolf said.

"And what happened to them?" Blondie asks.

"Uh…they were all killed." Wolf said.

"Oh that's it I am not dying in this dump!" Ramona said when they heard a growling noise behind them.

"Was that one of you?" Blondie gulps.

"No." Wolf and Ramona gulp before they all turn around and scream running for their lives.

As they turned a corner they ended up tripping and sliding down a water slide into another cave.

"Oh look more cave." Wolf said.

"Hey, whazzi-lookie!" Twitchy points.

"As god as my witness you will learn to speak.

"Hey look over there." Blondie said spotting a ladder.

"Freedom." Ramona smiles.

"But, but, I was just... Aaah." Twitchy groans in defeat.

Climbing up Wolf and Ramona see they climbed out on a mine cart track.

Hopping into a nearby cart the four of them ride through it.

"Now, this is a shortcut." Wolf said as they heard a rumbling.

"What was that?" Blondie asks.

"Whazzat? Sounds likes an avalanche." Twitchy said.

"Well Twitchy, that's natural. It's just old man mountain showing us who's boss." Wolf said as they entered a dark tunnel.

"I can't see anything in here." Blondie said when Twitchy looked into their cart.

"Hey, lookie-lookie! I found these box of candles. A big box." Twitchy said.

"Box of candles? Perfect. Light'em up." Wolf said as Twitchy popped up with a bright one.

"That's really bright." Ramona noticed.

"Yeah what kind of candles are those?" Wolf asks.

"Deen-a-meet-tay. Oh, it must be Italian." Twitchy said showing it to them causing them panic.

"That says Dynamite!" Brooke panics.

"Lose the candle!" Wolf orders.

"But-But." Twitchy said.

"Get it!" Ramona said as the three of them tried to wrestle the dynamite stick out of Twitchy's hands but it ended up dropping into the cart lighting all the other sticks of dynamite.

Screaming in horror Wolf and Ramona toss out every stick of dynamite they could as they went down the ramp but as they did they ended up blowing the ramp up behind them before they came to a stop at the bottom.

Panting heavily, the three of them paused not knowing the cart containing Red, Roxas and Cerise shot out up above them.

"You hear something?" Wolf asks.

"Huh?" Ramona said as they looked around but saw nothing.

"I think it's just aftershock stuck in your ears." Blondie said.

"Oh, well come on let's get to granny's." Wolf said they climbed out of the cart.

"I am going roast that little squirrel up and eat him. He almost killed us." Ramona said.

"No you won't. No one hurts Twitchy." Wolf said.

"Why do you keep him around? He's not exactly an ace photographer." Ramona asks.

"Because if you're lucky enough to find someone who's willing to stand by your side even when things are insane, someone who sees all your faults but doesn't mind, that's someone you want by your side no matter what." Wolf said.

"Whoa…that might be the smartest thing you've ever said." Ramona said speechless.

"I have my moments." Wolf said walking ahead.

"Is that why dad married mom?" Ramona said interested.

As the sun setted, they arrived at Grannie's house and were knocking on the door.

"Hello? Granny? Paperboy!" Wolf calls out before looking to Ramona and Blondie. "Come on say something old people would answer for."

"Uh candygrams." Blondie calls out.

"Uh reverse mortgages. Get your reverse mortgages here." Ramona calls out but as she knocks on the door it opened up.

"What do we do?" Twitchy asks.

"Be careful girls." Wolf said as they walked in weapons ready, but as they turned a corner Wolf yelps startled seeing a cardboard cutout of Granny along with some of her merchandise.

"What is this all this?" Ramona asks.

"Guess Granny has some of her merchandise lying around. This could work for us." Wolf said grabbing a costume.

"Oh please tell me you're not going to do this." Ramona cringed.

Minutes later, Wolf came out in the costume and Granny mask.

"Oh I'm gonna die." Ramona said dying of embarrassment.

"Speak for yourself." Blondie giggles recording this.

"Sweetie-pie. Sugar plum. Hug your Granny, little puddin'-pop." Wolf said trying to imitate her.

"That was awful." Ramona said as Wolf took the mask off.

"Alright change of plans, Ramona, put this on, you be Granny." Wolf said.

"What?! Nuh uh no way. I actually have some dignity." Ramona said when they heard a rattling at the door.

"Ah someone's here. Quick hide." Wolf said as Ramona and Blondie jumped under the bed.

Grabbing Twitchy, Wolf throws him into the closet where a tied up Granny, Duchess, Ginger and Bunny were.

"Granny!" Red calls out as Wolf climbs into bed.

Flashback End:

"You three are saying you didn't throw Granny in the closet?" Chief asks.

"We didn't even know they were there." Ramona said.

"How did that happen?" Chief asks.

"We don't know, I write the news I don't make it." Wolf said.

"Boy Ramona, you had it rough." Cerise said.

"No kidding." Ramona said.

"This is not good." Roxas said thinking about nobodies having their own Digimon.

"For a reporter you have a weird way of doing things." Red said.

"What can I say? I was raised by wolves." Wolf said.

"You have any way of backing this up?" Chief asks.

"I sure do, my Mirrorpad is full of recorded footage." Blondie said as Twitchy came in.

"And I got these pictures developed, Mr. Flippers." Twitchy said showing Nick pics he took of Wolf, Ramona and Blondie.

"Photos don't lie chief." Nick said.

"Good work Twitchy." Wolf said.

"Maybe he's useful after all." Ramona admits.

"Now, I want to know more about this fellow with the ax. How does he fit into all of this?" Nick asks.

"Maybe you should ax him yourself. Ha-ha-ha! You see? "Ax" him?" Bill jokes but everyone just looks at him with deadpanned expressions. "Uh I'll bring him and his group in."

Next, Kirk, Hunter and Ashlynn walk in.

"Hunter is that who I think it is?" Cerise whispers.

"Yep, a parallel version of my dad the Huntsman." Hunter said.

"Well he certainly looks the part." Ramona admits.

"Yeah…that's pretty much it though." Hunter said.

"What do you mean?" Blondie asks.

"You think the Wolf stunk? Wait until you hear our side." Hunter sighs as they go sit down.

"Hmm hello." Kirk said in a Scandinavian accent.

"My, my. You're a big fellow, aren't you? Shop at the Big & Tall store?" Nick asks.

"This is a Big & Tall misunderstanding." Kirk said.

"It's true this big guy wouldn't harm a fly." Hunter said.

"Then what do you call this?!" Bill asks slamming the axe down on the table. "A letter opener?!"

"Listen we can explain everything, we were just in the wrong place at the wrong time." Ashlynn assures.

"I see, well perhaps you three can explain what you were doing in the forest today?" Nick asks.

"Hunter and Ashlynn were helping me to make good my call-back." Kurt said.

"Your what?" Nick asks.

"Paul's bunion cream has a soothing formula to make the bunions head for the hills." Kurt recites.

"Oh you've got to be kidding me." Brooke said.

"And I thought the Wolf as a reporter was bad." The female narrator said.

"This guy is a loon." Chief said.

"Watch it Chief, my mama's half loon." Bill said.

"This guy isn't a woodsman at all. He was practicing for an audition." Ashlynn said.

"Wait, you mean he's?" Roxas asks.

"An actor." Hunter groans. "He was trying to take on the woodsman persona for his bunion commercial.

"Oh boy." Chief said as they all cringed feeling so sorry for Hunter.

Flashback:

We find Ashlynn and Hunter on the outskirts of Burgenburg chasing after the Heartless.

"You see them anywhere Hunter?" Ashlynn asks.

Hunter looks around to see things were pretty peaceful.

Making their way down the path, the suddenly heard a scream nearby.

Gasping they run to see Chocolate Gargoyles, Strange Trees and Shadow Heartless surrounding Kirk and a group of kids.

"Wait a minute. Ashlynn is that my dad?" Hunter gasps.

"This must have a parallel version of your story." Ashlynn gasps.

Full of determination, Hunter draws his Bow Blade and Ashlynn summons Fairy Champion before they both charge in.

Drawing his bow, Hunter fires a glowing green arrow that flew through a Shadow destroying it.

"Huh?" Kirk said as Ashlynn leaps in and slashes the Chocolate Gargoyle before leaping down and destroying a Shadow.

"Get to safety, we'll handle them!" Ashlynn warns.

"Right, this way children." Kirk said leading them behind some rocks.

Switching to blade mode, Hunter slashes away chopping at the base of the Strange Trees chipping away pieces of wood at a time to the point they had trouble moving.

Seeing what he was doing Ashlynn has flames surround her keyblade before she swings it destroying a Chocolate Gargoyle forcing all the Heartless to clump together in a circle.

Moving around Hunter dodges the Strange Trees before rolling behind one as they lined up.

At the base of the Strange Tree, Hunter readies for a big swing and chops off the bottom of it.

"Timber!" Hunter calls out as the Strange Tree crashes down into the other Strange Trees as they fall like dominos before crashing down on top of all the Heartless destroying them all.

"Is everyone okay?" Ashlynn asks as Kirk walks up to them.

"You did it, you saved my life and the children." Kirk smiles.

"Oh we're just doing the right thing." Hunter said a little starstruck.

"I must repay you for your good deed." Kirk said.

"Oh that's not necessary." Ashlynn said.

"Nonsense how about some schnitzel from my truck? On me." Kirk offers.

"That doesn't sound so bad." Hunter admits as Kirk led them all back to his food truck. "What's schnitzel?"

Pausing Ashlynn shrugs never hearing of it.

"So uh you got a name big guy?" Hunter asks.

"Kirk." He smiles.

"Well I'm Hunter and this is Ashlynn." Hunter introduced.

"It's a pleasure to meet you both. You were quite the fighters back there." Kirk said.

"I bet you could be good with an axe too if you tried." Hunter said hopeful.

"I wish, I don't know even own one." Kirk said.

"Huh?" Hunter said.

"So if you're not a woodsman what do you do for a living?" Ashlynn asks.

"Well I am working to become a successful actor." Kirk said surprising them.

"Really?" Ashlynn said.

"An actor?" Hunter asks.

"Yes, I had an audtition today to sell Paul Bunion Cream, but someday I hope to achieve my dream to travel the world with the greatest singing group of all time, the Happy Yodelers." Kirk said as he turns around to see Ashlynn and Hunter had dropped jaws and shocked looks on their faces.

"Seriously? Are you kidding me?" Brooke repeats.

"The Huntsman wants to be a yodeler." The male narrator said.

"I really feel bad for Hunter and Ramona, they are not getting the best versions of their parents here." The female narrator said.

"So uh Kirk what else do you do?" Ashlynn asks hoping to change the subject and spare Hunter from any further embarrassment.

"Well my day job, my amazing Schnitzel—" Before Kirk could finish they arrive to see his truck had been robbed. "Huh? What the schnitzel?! My schnitzel truck, it's been piddly…piddle-diddly…they stole everything!" Kirk said as all the children walk away groaning.

Frowning Hunter and Ashlynn walk up to try and comfort him.

"Oh, that's too bad. It's not easy being in the goody business these days, huh?" Turning around they see Boingo hopping over with the carrot crumble that Red gave him.

"Hey it's Boingo again." Brooke said.

"That little bunny gets around." The female narrator said.

"What do you mean?" Hunter asks.

"Do you two seriously not know about the Goody Bandit? Guy goes all over the place robbing goodies, stealing recipes, putting people out of business like your friend here." Boingo points.

"That's terrible." Ashlynn gasps.

"I'm getting schnitzeled left and right today. I cannot even sell the bunion cream. Now I'm gonna lose my job!" Kirk said.

"Chin up, mister. Maybe someday, somebody will open up a great big goody shop and we can all work for that little guy." Boingo said.

"That's an interesting dream." Ashlynn said.

"Oh, yeah. Wait what?" Kirk asks when his phone started to ring. "Hello."

"Kirk! Yeah, baby, listen. We got the client here, we looked at your tape, and we think we might have a real "Hercules goes bananas" angle on this thing. So we want you to come back in." A voice on the other line said.

"Hercules goes bananas?" Hunter asks.

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Ashlynn asks.

"Come back in?" Kirk asks.

"It's a callback. You come back tomorrow, you do the same thing you did today, only this time you do it good. Can you handle that?" The voice asks.

"I will. I can do it!" Kirk said determined.

"Okay. Now, I want you to go out into the wild and I want you to find that tree-chopping side of yourself, get yourself a coach if you have to. You find your inner woodsman, Curtis. Don't act like a woodsman, be a woodsman. Got it?" He asks.

"Yes I can!" Kirk said.

"Find an ax and start swinging, see ya tomorrow." He said hanging up.

Looking to Hunter and Ashlynn, Kirk runs to them.

"Hunter you acted like a woodsman. Can you teach me to be like you?" Kirk asks.

"Wait you want me to teach you how to be a woodsman?" Hunter asks.

"Well this could be interesting." Ashlynn said.

"Please, I need to learn everything I can." Kirk begs.

"We kinda need to go find our friends." Hunter said wanting to get out of this.

"Hunter." Ashlynn said.

"Oh fine." Hunter sighs. "Maybe this can help him."

"Excellent. Sorry little bunny I have to go. Hunter and Ashlynn have to help and find the little woodsman in me!" Kirk said as they ran off.

"Okay, tell him I said hi." Boingo said.

---

Needless to say Kirk stunk at being a woodsman just as badly as acting.

Walking up to a tree, Kirk held the axe by the metal and tried banging the wooden part against it.

"I…I have words for this." Hunter said.

"He's not very good at this, but this is why he needs our help Hunter. If he can actually learn to use that axe he might be able to help us get to the others." Ashlynn said.

"Oh alright. Hey Kirk!" Hunter said walking over to him. "Lesson one: hold the axe like this." Hunter said showing him the right way.

"Oh, that's what this is for." Kirk said.

"Now watch me." Taking a stance, Hunter swings it and successfully chops the tree down.

"Hmm." Mimicking him, Kurt chops the tree down with one swing. "Yes! Again!"

Soon Kurt was clearcutting every tree in his path and much to Ashlynn and Hunter's horror they had to save everyone from Kirk.

As Kirk chops down a tree it was about to fall on a car when Hunter leaps in and slashes it into firewood.

"I suggest you park somewhere else." Hunter said as the driver drove off.

Next Kirk chopped down a tree that had a bird's nest in it, as the tree fell Ashlynn leaped in and caught it.

"Phew." Ashlynn said before putting the nest up in another tree.

Soon Kurt had made it to the top of a hill and was trying to chop down the biggest tree there while Ashlynn and Hunter laid down exhausted from saving everything from him.

"Maybe this wasn't the best idea." Ashlynn pants as Hunter drank some water.

"Here." Hunter said passing it to her. "Hey Kirk, if you don't move the tree might come down on you!" Hunter calls out.

Suddenly they heard Red screaming.

"Huh?" Looking down the hill they saw the noise coming from Granny's cottage.

"I don't like the sound of that." Ashlynn said.

"Me nether. Lesson's over Kirk." Hunter said as Kirk hopped out but as he did the tree broke and started bending towards them.

"Oh schnitzel." Kirk groans.

"RUN!" Ashlynn yells as they ran down the hill to avoid the rolling tree.

Scrambling Hunter fires an arrow with a rope and they use it to swing up onto the log.

"Bonus lesson Kirk! When Log rolling you gotta move your feet in the opposite direction of the log!" Hunter said as they rolled down the hill before slamming in between two large trees and being launched through the window.

Flashback End:

"So you mean to say you three didn't jump through the window. You were pushed." Nick realized.

"Yes." Kirk smiles.

"Because you two were teaching him how to be a woodsman." Nick asks.

"Yep." Ashlynn sighs.

"To sell foot cream?" Nick asks as Hunter bangs his head on the table to emphasize his point.

"I got call-back." Kirk said.

"Well, I think it's safe to say that our thespian friend here knows the least about anything of anyone in this room." Nick said.

"Ya think." All the FAFs said.

"Hold on, you have any proof of this story?" Bill asks.

Holding out their hands Hunter and Ashlynn point to the window and they see the tree they rolled in on still outside.

"That just leaves one group left." Nick said.

Walking in we see Duchess, Bunny, Ginger and Granny sit down.

"What about it, Granny? Maybe you're not sweet little goody-maker everyone thinks you are. Are you stealing recipes to protect your sugar-coated kingdom?" Nick asks.

"Oh no, Mr. Flippers. The only crime I've ever committed is making my goodies unlawfully delicious." Granny said.

"That's even her catchphrase on the goodies." Ginger said pointing to a bag of cakes with it on the label.

"My Granny doesn't keep secrets. And even if she did, she'd tell me about it. We tell each other everything. Right, Granny?" Red asks.

"Sure, dear. Mostly." Granny said nervously.

"Mostly?" Red asks.

"Does she not know what you were doing today when you ran into us?" Bunny asks.

"Not exactly." Granny said.

"Oh boy." Duchess said.

"What are you hiding?" Nick asks.

"My family worries too much. I-I didn't want them to find out." Granny admits.

"Find out what?" Nick asks.

"Hey Chief! Check this out!" Bill calls out.

Opening the closet that Granny was trapped in we see a ton of first place trophies and awards for sports.

"Uh those don't look like baking trophies." Ramona said.

"Not at all." Cerise said as Nick spotted something.

"I noticed you have three G's tattooed on the back of your neck. That's appropriate, since there are three strikes against you." Nick said as they all looked to see the tattoo.

"Guys what happened when you met Granny?" Roxas asks.

"Let me explain." Granny said getting their attention. "I'm not like other grannies. I never did like the quilting bees and the bingo parlors. I'd rather live life, to the extreme."

"So you mean all those trophies?" Hunter asks.

"Won them all. Snowboarding, Rock climbing, surfing and even skateboarding." Granny said as all the FAFs dropped their jaws in shock.

"Oh man lady will you be my granny?" Ramona asks.

"Ditto." Cerise said.

"Sorry girls, already got one." Granny smiles at the compliment.

"You see we were chasing Heartless up the mountains." Duchess starts.

"I didn't have time for Red to visit today. I was on my way to big Xtreme Dream Snowsports Competition. I've been training three months for this one." Granny joins in.

Flashback:

At the top of the mountain, Bunny's hoop was thrown up and landed in the snow.

A few seconds later, the hoop began to glow as Bunny peeked her head through it.

Slowly she looks to see a White Chocolate Statue, Blizzard Plant and Winterhorn Heartless on the ledge below them.

"They're right below us. On three, we jump them." Bunny whispers. "One…two…three!"

Leaping out of the hoop, Bunny, Duchess and Ginger attack at the Heartless.

Drawing her blaster, Ginger fires at a Winterhorn that charges at her but at the last second she rolls out of the way and switches out her blaster for Master Chef.

As the Winterhorn charges in again Ginger whacks it in the face destroying it.

"Wow that felt pretty good." Ginger smiles.

Nearby Blizzard Plants fired multiple ice seeds at Duchess who uses her fans to block and deflect.

"Check out my fan dance!" Duchess used her ballet moves to spin and twirl through the seed barrage before slashing the Blizzard Plants with her fans destroying them.

Swinging her hoop around by the string Bunny leaps up and swats the White Chocolate Statue destroying it.

As she drops down a Winterhorn charges in, acting quickly Bunny uses her Flowmotion to do backflip off the rocks and kick it destroying the Heartless.

"Duchess!" Bunny throws her hoop that whacks a White Chocolate Statue as it was about to hit Duchess from behind.

"Thanks." Duchess said looking to her with a smile.

Swingng her fans, Duchess made a gust of wind that sent all the Heartless tumbling down to the ledge below them.

"See ya!" Duchess said as Ginger blasts them with her blaster destroying them.

"Yes! We got them." Ginger smiles.

"Man it took a while to catch them." Duchess said.

"Yeah good thing we have our own personal rabbit hole." Bunny said holding her weapon.

"So now that we got them, how do we get down?" Ginger asks.

"I saw some cable car wires on the way up. I bet if we follow that we can take it down to the others." Bunny said.

"Well let's hurry, the sooner we get off this mountain the better." Duchess said.

As they looked around a chilly wind blew towards them causing them to shiver.

"We should have brought out winter coats." Ginger shivers.

"Hang on, I might have something. Coronamon." Duchess said summoning her Digimon.

"Greeting Duchess." Coronamon said before making his head and tail flames glow to warm them up.

"Aw that's better." Ginger said.

Making their way down the mountain they didn't notice someone was watching them.

"Ooh looks like Cerise's friends are hitting the slopes." Resecix said coming out of the shadows. "I was hoping for round 2 with her but I could use a little warm up."

Making their way down the path they arrive at the big Xtreme Dream competition.

"Well this looks like fun." Ginger said.

"Yeah maybe we can find a way down. Or at the very least get something warm." Bunny said.

"Oh my what are you three girls doing up here dressed like that?" Looking over they see Granny in ski uniform and some scarfs around her neck. "You're gonna freeze up here."

"Yeah we were kind of in a rush to get up here." Ginger said.

"Well that's no excuse for dressing like that. Here." Granny said giving each of them a scarf.

"Thank you ma'am that's very nice of you." Bunny said.

"Call me Granny." She smiles when Ginger sniffs the air.

"Hey what smells good? Smells like cookies." Ginger said.

"That would be me. I always carry some snickerdoodles with me." Granny said holding out a box. "Want one? They're fresh from the oven."

"Sure." They smile taking one, even Coronamon got one.

"Mmm wow these are amazing." Bunny said.

"No offense Ginger, but these might be better than yours." Duchess said.

"None taken, you made these yourself?" Ginger smiles.

"Puckett family recipe." Granny smiles.

"Extreme sports lady and an amazing baker. I wish she was my grandma." Brooke said.

"What's amazing is how long she hid this secret." The male narrator said.

"Well I need to go, I got a race to prepare for." Granny said.

"Who are you against?" Duchess asks.

"Them." Granny said pointing to a team of elite skiiers, One was a man with a shaved head and sunglasses, one was a woman with long black hair, one was a man with blonde hair with a headband on and goggles and the last was a big guy with large muscles and spiky brown hair. These were Vincent, Lesa, Keith and Dolph.

"You're racing against them?" The four of them said shocked.

"And I'm gonna win." Granny said.

"Oh that poor old lady." Ginger said.

As Granny was about to go to the startling line she sees Boingo holding a clipboard.

"Well what's your name?" Granny asks as Boingo holds out the paper and pen.

"Just put, "To my biggest and cutest fan, Boingo." And then, like, some X's and O's and a little smiley-face." Boingo said as Granny signed it.

"All contestants to the starting line." The announcer said.

As all the skiers lined up, Dolph moved in next to Granny.

"You be careful, Granny Puckett. Old ladies get hurt on these slopes." Dolph warns.

"Bring it, honey." Granny said ready.

As the starting buzzer went off Dolph stabs the buckle on one of Granny's skies causing her foot to fall free and her ski to slide away.

"Whoa!" Granny said as she wobbled down the mountain.

"Granny!" The FAFs gasp.

"We gotta help her!" Bunny said.

Looking around Duchess and Bunny grab skis while Ginger and Coronamon hop on a snowmobile and race down after them.

As the race went on Dolph's team was pulling out every trick in the book to take out the competition: whacking them with their ski poles, throwing snowballs at them, and sending them spinning out of control.

"Hang on!" Racing down, Duchess, Ginger and Bunny were about to join them when something fast raced in and rammed into them.

"Going somewhere?!" Looking to the side, they saw Resecix riding a snowboard nearby.

"Resecix?!" Ginger gasps remembering her from the facility.

"You didn't think a wolf like me lets easy prey like you get by?" Resecix smirks.

"Easy prey?" Duchess gulps not liking this.

"A bunny, a swan and a baker. A perfect between meal snack." Resecix grins before summoning a jagged sword.

Down below Granny was wobbling to say on board when she got her second call from Red.

"What's that? Who's there?" Granny said answering it.

Racing around Resecix was on the attack.

Swinging her hoop, Bunny tries to clash with her but Resecix pulls back and dodges.

"Too slow, furball." Resecix grins as she was about to attack.

Acting quickly Bunny leaps up dodging the attack and whacks Resecix in the face with her hoop.

"You were saying?" Bunny smirks.

Seeing she couldn't use her fans, Duchess attacks with her ski poles but Resecix blocks it.

Swinging her sword both clash weapons before Duchess dodges and whacks her in the face with her pole.

Smirking Duchess through the she had her when Resecix swings her sword splitting Duchess' poles in half.

"Uh oh." Duchess said before Resecix nails her with a powerful strike causing her to hit the snow hard and tumble down before hitting a tree.

"Duchess!" Coronamon gasps.

"You know Duchess the original me didn't have the guts to teach you lesson. Think of this as payback for all the garbage you got away with." Resecix growls scaring Duchess.

Swinging her sword Duchess rolls out of the way causing a tree to be chopped down instead.

Resecix was about to attack again when Bunny rams into her making her skid back.

"Get on!" Ginger said pulling up next to them.

Ditching their skis Bunny and Duchess hopped on the snowmobile as Resecix got up.

"Corona Flame!" Coronamon fires multiple blasts of fire at her causing more trees to drop around her allowing them to escape.

"Incoming!" All of them yelled as they raced past Granny on the snowmobile causing her to gasp.

As Dolph's team spots them, he signals his entire team telling them to go after them next.

"Gotta go, munchkin! Banzai!" Granny said hanging up.

Putting her other foot on her ski, Granny races down like it was a snowboard.

Grabbing snowballs, Granny bombards the other team knocking them away.

"Thanks Granny!" Ginger smiles.

"Stick with me! I'll get you down the mountain!" Granny said.

"I take back everything I said about you being a poor old lady." Duchess smiles.

"Much obliged." Granny grins when Dolph races in and rams into Granny.

As the two of them were in a lock they spin towards the edge of the cliff.

"Who do you work for?!" Granny asks as Dolph dangles her over the edge.

"I can't tell you that." Dolph said.

"Young man, you tell me this instant!" Granny threatens.

"Alright! We were hired by the bandit!" Dolph admits.

"Who is the bandit?!" Granny asks.

However instead of answering Dolph drops her over the edge.

Smirking Dolph takes out a walkie talkie. "Granny is finished. Now we go after the little red hooded girl."

Little did he know Granny was holding onto a tree branch below him.

"Red!" Granny gasps.

Taking out a bungie cord, Granny loops to the branch before jumping off.

As she dives down she springs back up onto the ledge.

"Granny!" Looking over Granny saw Ginger race over. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine but my granddaughter is in danger." Granny said.

"Don't worry we'll get you down the mountain." Bunny said.

"Is that right?" Turning around they saw Resecix glaring at them. "Did you think you could stop me that easily?"

"Uh kinda." Duchess gulps when Resecix takes out a black Digivice.

As it glows bright a dark version of WereGarurumon appeared.

"Bury them ShadowWereGarurumon!" Resecix yells as ShadowWereGarurumon fires a blast of dark flames blasting a ton of snow off the mountain causing an avalanche. "See you never." Resecix smirks disappearing into a dark portal.

"Girls…drive!" Granny yells as Ginger tries to floor it.

"The engine won't work!" Ginger said.

"Coronamon do something!" Duchess said.

Nodding Coronamon glows brightly.

"Coronamon digivolve to…Firamon!" Appearing in his place was a large red lion Digimon with wings.

"Get on!" Firamon said as the three girls climbed onto him and they raced down the mountain alongside Granny.

Racing past the other skiers, Dolph and his team ended up buried under snow while Granny crossed the finish line first with the FAF's right behind her allowing them to take the gold and silver trophies.

"I wish I had a video camera!" Granny said activating her parachute allowing her and Firamon to take the sky.

"Smile!" Granny looks to see Duchess, Bunny and Ginger all posing for a selfie which Granny joins in.

As Granny looks down she sees Red, Cerise, Roxas and Japeth soaring in the cart below.

"Red!" Granny calls out.

Looking up Red sees Granny coming out of the clouds.

"Granny?" Red gasps.

"Use the hood, Red! Use the hood!" Granny said before disappearing back into the clouds.

Doing what she says Red and Cerise use their hoods to fly to safety while Roxas uses his glider.

"Ah, that's my girl." Granny smiles.

"I saw Cerise and Roxas with them." Ginger smiles.

"Come on, my house is just up ahead." Granny said as they looked to see Wolf, Twitchy, Ramona and Blondie at the door. "Uh oh guess this is just one of those days." Granny said.

"Firamon try letting us down gently." Duchess said.

"Okay let's see, gently?" Pausing Firamon goes back into the digivice causing Duchess, Ginger and Bunny to drop down on top of Granny causing them all to fall through the chimney.

"That was not gently." Duchess groans.

But before they could get up Granny's parachute got tangled up in the ceiling fan causing them all to spin around and around before being thrown into the closet all tied up just as the door opens.

"Granny?" Wolf calls out.

The four of them struggled to move when the door opens and Twitchy was thrown in hitting Granny in the face.

"Hee-hee. Hi." Twitchy said before the four of them flailed around wildly banging Twitchy against the door until they broke free to see the big reunion.

Flashback End:

When it was over Red was looking into Granny's trophy closet before glaring at her.

"Honey, don't look at your Granny like that." Granny said.

"I'm sorry, I thought you were "Triple G" or are you the bandit?" Red glares as everyone was watching from the next room.

"Awkward." Bill whispers.

"Blondie turn that off." Ashlynn said.

"I can't, this is intense." Blondie said recording all of this.

"You're being ridiculous, Red." Granny said.

"I'm being ridiculous? You're off living La Vida Loca, risking your life for some dumb thrills, and I'm supposed to stay home and be your happy little delivery girl?!" Red snaps.

"Uh…how about a coffee break?" Nick suggests.

"Good call." Chief said as they all walked away.

"I thought you were happy." Granny said.

"Open your eyes. I've never been outside the forest. Don't you think I want more than that?" Red asks.

"I don't know what that means anymore." Red sighs as she takes off her hood and drops it on the ground.

Gasping Cerise looks to se Red walk out of the house.

"Poor Red." Blondie said.

"She's been lied to for who knows how long." Ashlynn said.

"I wish we could help her." Roxas said.

"Well…maybe I can." Cerise said. "I mean I know a thing or two about having to keep secrets."

"Yeah you were more commited to the secret than I was." Ramona admits.

"Be careful." Roxas said as she ran after her.

---

Walking away from the police, Cerise looks around before seeing Red sitting by a waterfall all by herself.

"Hey there." Turning around Red saw Cerise walk up to her. "That was quite the moment back there with you and your Granny."

"I can't believe she's been lying to me about this." Red said as Cerise sat next to her.

"Well I get that keeping such a big secret isn't cool she wasn't trying to hurt you." Cerise said.

"But she did, she knows all I ever wanted was adventure and she kept doing all these crazy adventures while I was making dumb goodey deliveries." Red said.

"I'm sorry." Cerise sighs.

"My Granny once told me "Red, when you put that hood on, you carry on a grand tradition." Our family has some of the greatest adventurers and bakers in the whole world but for some reason I haven't been able to get my chance yet." Red sighs.

Frowning Cerise looks to her before sighing. "Red, I've got something I want to tell you."

Looking to her, Red sees Cerise drop her hood down to reveal her wolf ears.

"These aren't fake, they're real." Cerise said surprising her.

"Wait what?" Red asks.

"For years I was always told "Cerise, keep your hood up, so no one can know your secret." If people knew the truth they'd flip their crowns." Cerise sighs.

"How long have you kept this secret?" Red asks.

"Until 2 years ago, when I first met Roxas. I always afraid how people would react to me if they saw them but when Roxas saw me without my hood on he wasn't scared of me or freaked at me. When he learned my secret he didn't treat me any different he just saw me for Cerise." Cerise smiles.

"Is that why he's your boyfriend?" Red smirks.

"Yeah, yeah it is." Cerise said turning to her. "Look your granny may have lied to you but be honest if you knew she was doing all that extreme stuff how would you have reacted?"

"I…I would have been terrified." Red admits.

"Yeah that's what Duchess, Bunny and Ginger were like when they met her on the slopes, but your Granny handled it pretty well. She even saved them. Look I'm not saying what your Granny did was right but she did what she thought was best for others. It's hard to hold onto secrets until you know it's the right time." Cerise said.

"Thanks Cerise, and hey for what's it worth you wear that hood proud." Red smiles.

Hearing this Cerise was beyond touched as she puts it on over her head.

"Thanks Red." Cerise smiles as she stood up. "Come on, let's get back to the others."

---

Back at the cottage, as the police were talking and the FAFs were comparing notes no one noticed a figure grab Red's hood and sneak inside to grab Red's basket.

As the figure snuck out, Red and Cerise saw her hood getting away.

Pausing both look to each other and decide to follow.

"It would seem that all of you came together tonight by mistake." Nick summarizes as everyone sat in the main room.

"Gee thanks for finally realizing that." Ramona said.

"Your group is innocent but maybe you naughty neighbors butted heads so that we could get to the real truth." Nick declares.

"The Goody Bandit." Wolf realized.

"That's right. The bandit's still at large. There's been a lot of finger-pointing tonight, but now all fingers point to the bandit." Nick said.

"Not mine." Kirk said.

"Oh no, you were just out damaging forest property, cutting down the redwoods we all call home. Big guy like you, you could probably take whatever you want from little goody-loving creatures, couldn't you?" Nick accuses.

"What no way? Kirk is many things but he's not a criminal." Hunter said.

"And I was robbed too!" Kirk said.

"That's right, someone did. Maybe a snack food competitor. Right, Granny?" Nick said looking to her.

"Hold on, Granny just does extreme sports not thefts." Ginger said.

"I may lead a double life full of secrets and deception, but that's no reason to be suspicious." Granny said.

"Uh actually it is." Bunny said.

"Or she could just be another victim, of a hungry wolf." Nick said turning to Wolf.

"The wolf did it. Talk about profiling." Wolf rolls his eyes.

"Why should we trust someone who wears disguises for a living?" Nick asks.

"Maybe he isn't a wolf at all!" Chief points.

"You got me. I'm a poodle. Just haven't been to the barbershop in a long time." Wolf mocks.

"Look this furball is innocent. We just followed Red here." Ramona said.

"Yes, now we get to little red, the girl with the basket on the run." Nick said only for everyone to see she and Cerise weren't there. "Where is she?"

"After she realized Granny lied to her, Red stormed out and Cerise went to go get her." Roxas said.

"She snuck past us?!" Chief snaps.

"Can these dumb cops do anything?" Brooke asks when a pig walks up to Chief and whispers something.

"The recipes are gone!" Chief gasps.

"Are you saying that little red is the bandit?" Bill asks.

"No way, Cerise may not be here but I can vouch for both of them." Roxas said.

"It would seem there is another player in this game, someone who's hippity-hopped his way through all of your stories." Nick said getting their attention.

On the outskirts of the forest, Red and Cerise look to see the red hood meeting with Dolph at the cable car before it dropped revealing a pair of pointy ears.

"No way." Brook gasps.

"It can't be." The male narrator said.

"Yes, there's someone else. The only one was with Red, Roxas and Cerise when they fell, who knew a shortcut to Granny's, who fraternizes with evil ski teams, and someone who was there when the schnitzel truck was schnitzeled." Nick lists as they all gasp.

"BOINGO?!" Everyone gasps.

"Not the bunny!" Granny gasps.

"I knew it. Never trust a bunny." Wolf said.

"Never trust a bunny!" Twitchy repeats.

Hearing this Bunny twitches before hitting Wolf and Twitchy on the head for that comment.

"What we say?" Twitchy asks as Bunny points to her ears.

"Whoops." Wolf apologizes.

"Ah, Chief. No one's seen the bunny or the girl, and that cable car just left the station." A cop said getting their attention.

"I think we need an ABP out on something small and fuzzy." Nick said.

"Yeah I think you're right." Chief agrees.

"Get your boys down to Red's place. We need to head off that cable car. And bring in a police sketch artist. No, make it a cartoonist." Nick said.

"We gotta hurry to beat it down the mountain. Bill, everyone get in the cars. Tommy, you can bring that evidence with you. Let's go!" Chief said as all the cops ran out and drove away.

"I can't believe the bandit was right in front of us and we didn't even realize it." Ashlynn said.

"Did either of you get a shot of the bunny?" Wolf asks looking to Twitchy and Blondie.

"No." Blondie cringed.

"Why am I gonna take a picture of a bunny?" Twitchy asks.

"I told you to take pictures of everything! We gotta get this to print before it's all over the forest!" Wolf said getting up.

"Screw that. I gotta find my sister. We got two Nobodies armed with weapons and Digimon in that forest." Ramona said getting up.

"Hopefully it's not too dark to find them." Roxas said as they walked to the door.

"Something don't sit right in my bones about this." Granny said when they heard a noise. "What's that?"

"Maybe it's your bones." Wolf said hearing it too.

"I smell schnitzel." Kirk said getting their attention.

Running outside they see Kirk's truck had been turned into some kind of construction vehicle with the skiers Lesa and Vincent driving it.

"What have they done to my schnitzel truck?!" Kirk gasps.

"It look likes a bulldozer." Ashlynn gasps.

"Those are skiers that tried to take out Granny!" Bunny points.

"Why are they going that way?" Blondie asks.

"There's on old cable car station at the top of the mountain. We've got to follow them, boys. Red and Cerise are up there, I know it." Granny said.

"Twitchy, get down the mountain. You gotta stop those cops. Run them off the road, dangle a donut in front of them, I don't care, just tell them they're going the wrong way." Wolf said.

"Eezie-peezie, boss! Leave it to me!" Twitchy said.

"You'll never catch them in time." Granny said when Ramona noticed a mug in her hands.

"Is that coffee?" Ramona asks.

"Yes, why?" Granny asks as Ramona takes it.

"I can't believe I'm about to say this, but bottoms up little guy." Ramona said.

"Ramona are you sure about this?" Blondie gulps.

"Yeah even I've never given Twitchy coffee." Wolf said.

"Desperate times call for desperate measures." Ramona said as Twitchy starts gulping the whole thing down.

"You may want to step back." Wolf said pulling Ramona back.

Once Twitchy finished the little fella was bouncing off everything before landing in front of them.

"Caffeine! Yeah, baby!" Twitchy said before racing after the cops.

"What have we done?" Wolf gulps.

"It's up to us now." Granny said.

"Can I have coffee?" Kirk asks nervously.

As they were about to make their way up Roxas noticed something racing near the truck and narrowed his eyes.

---

At the old cable car station, Cerise and Red were holding onto the back of the cable car as it arrives.

"I don't like it. The cops are all over the place." Dolph said.

"Forget about the cops. We've got everything we need right here." Boingo said.

"What about the old lady? If she's alive, she'll be back. Not to mention those powerful allies they have." Dolph said.

"You just don't get it, do you, Dolph? I'm done! I'm done dancing for the man! The Muffin Man, and Granny! They can both take a hike! I'm never gonna answer to anyone, ever again!" Boingo snaps.

"Wow for such a little bunny he has some big issues." Brooke said.

"Clearly." Both her parents agreed.

"You see how it works, Dolph? You prioritize, you set your goals, you write a mission statement. You ask yourself, where do I see me in five years?" Boingo asks.

"How about behind bars?" Turning around they saw Red, Cerise and Lobomon ready for battle.

"Red, you little devil. You and Cerise spoiled the surprise." Boingo said trying to play innocent.

"You're the bandit." Red said.

"Surprise." Boingo said.

"I'm walking out of here with those recipes." Red threatens.

"Is that right?" Boingo asks.

"You can't beat us all by yourself." Cerise said.

"No, but we knew you would seek him out so we could." Looking up Cerise and Lobomon leaped back to see Resecix, Xanamor, BlackGaogamon and ShadowWereGarurumon separating her from Red.

"Resecix." Cerise growls.

"Nice to see you again Cerise." She grins.

"Wha? Where did they come from?! Who let them in?!" Boingo calls.

"Don't worry we were just leaving." Xanamor said.

"Fox Fire!"

"Dark Spiral Blow!"

Both wolf Digimon fire their attacks forcing Lobomon to grab Cerise and leap out of the station.

"After them!" Resecix said as they chased after them.

"Well now that that's taken care of I can finish you off easy." Boingo said putting the recipe book down.

"You're a bad bunny." Red glares as they circled each other.

"Oh, somebody's finally catching up. Did you think I followed you around on your little deliveries because I liked you?" Boingo mocks.

Red charges in and attacks but Boingo blocks all her attacks using his big ears.

"Is that all you got?! You hit like a girl!" Boingo said catching her foot with his ears before throwing her back.

Red tries to fight back but the little bunny was too quick for her.

Leaping up Boingo kicks Red with both his feet making her hit the ground hard.

Groaning Red sniffles a little.

"Why don't you go home and cry to your Granny? Dolph, tie up the brat." Boingo orders as the big guy grabs her.

---

Meanwhile down the hill, Cerise and Lobomon crashed down onto a rocky plateu with the forest right below them.

Groaning Cerise looks up to see Resecix and ShadowWereGarurumon approach her.

"You got the jump on me last time in the facility Cerise but this time there's nothing to bail you out." Resecix grins.

Growling Cerise does a backflip as she and Lobomon ready for battle.

"Lobo kendo!" Lobomon said making a sword of light.

Charging in Lobomon swings his sword but ShadowWereGarurumon blocks it with ease.

"Shadow Claw!" Darkness envelops his claws as he slashes Lobomon back allowing BlackGaogamon to ram into him making him crash to the ground.

Cerise swings her sword but Resecix blocks it and as she advances Cerise gets pushed back towards the edge.

"Farewell, weaker half." Resecix swings her sword and the resulting force sends Cerise flying off the cliff.

"Cerise!" Lobomon screams in horror.

As Cerise plummeted to the ground something flew in and caught her.

"Gotcha!"

Opening her eyes, Cerise looks to see Roxas was holding her bridal style in his arms as he was riding his glider.

"Roxas!" Cerise smiles.

"Dammit! Not him." Xanamor said.

"Why did that Roxas have to be so hot?" Resecix asks when suddenly a something rushed out of the forest and rammed into them.

Tumbling down, the two nobodies look to see Ramona, Gaogamon, Hunter and Falcomon standing together as Roxas and Cerise land next to them and Lobomon stands up.

"How did you track us down?" Xanamor growls.

"Because you stink. Your scent is like a wet dog." Ramona glares. "You're gonna pay for ganging up on my sister."

"Now you care about your sister? You have gone soft." Xanmor smirks.

"Oh yeah? Well let's see how soft I am when I'm ripping you to pieces." Ramona growls.

"I got your back Ramona." Hunter said readying his bow blade.

As Xanamor charges in Ramona aims her Wolf Howler and releases a sonic howl sending her and BlackGaogamon into the forest below.

"Come on Hunter!" Ramona said as she leaps on Gaogamon's back and they jump down after them.

"Falcomon digivolve to…Peckmon!" In Falcomon's place, a large bird Digimon in ninja garb appeared.

"I'm on my way!" Hunter said leaping onto Peckmon before they raced down into the forest.

"Looks like it's just us." Resecix smirks.

"So this is your Nobody huh?" Roxas asks.

"Unfortunately." Cerise said.

"Well it's pretty easy to tell which one I like better." Roxas said summoning Fairy Champion and Monster Hero.

"Oh Roxas, you're breaking my heart." Resecix said.

"You and I both know that's a lie." Cerise said readying her sword.

"I know, but I can break yours along with every bone in your body." Resecix said readying her sword and ShadowWereGarurumon cracks his knuckles.

Taking stance, Lobomon readies himself before they charge in.

---

Back at the Cable Car station, Dolph had Red tied up as he pushed along a dolley.

"Lesa, hold the book. Vincent, get the truck. And Keith, darn it, change your name. Please. That's not scary, and I'm embarrassed to say it. Try Boris." Boingo orders as Keith growls in anger. "Watch out for Keith. Ugh horrible."

"You're crazy." Red said as Dolph wheeled her over.

"Maybe so but I'm top of the woods now baby!" Boingo declares as Keith set up a projector. "Soon all the kids will be packed with my Boingo Snacks and construction begins in a day. We've really grown in the past year. Nabbing all the recipes was Phase I. Now Phase II is adding my own special ingredient to every goody, a little something I like to call "Boingonium." It makes my snacks a little more habit-forming." Boingo said as they showed a slide of a kid eating snacks with and without it. The normal one stopped eating after a while but the one with it was totally addicted to eating them to the point the kid bit the crumbs off the table. "Happy customer! Phase III gets a little messy. I'm gonna need a lot of real estate down the mountain, so I've gotta blow the competition away. Oh, and that's not a metaphor. We've literally got to "blow" them away." Boingo explains.

"Yeah I got it." Red glares.

Peeking out from the rocks. Ginger, Ashlynn, Blondie, Bunny, Duchess, Granny, Wolf and Kirk were listening in on this.

"And now that I have your Grandma's secrets, I'm afraid you'll be taking the dyno-mite express home." Boingo said as they loaded up the cable car with dynamite before tying a scarf around her mouth gagging Red before she was pushed in. "You've been hoodwinked baby!"

"Sweet tea and cookies! We got to do something!" Granny said.

"I know, he didn't even make a song or dance number." Wolf said.

"Oh pipe down." Blondie said as they yanked everyone out of view.

"Okay, I have an idea, but we need to get past that ski team." Wolf said.

"We can take them." Ashlynn said.

"The toughest one is the big fella, really mean-looking, with a fat head and a thick skull, looks like a shaved ape." Granny mocks but everyone gulps seeing that Dolph had come up right behind her.

"Uh Granny." Brooke gulps.

"I mean, he is uh-uh-uh-ugly! Like a big, swollen, overgrown...he's standing right behind me, isn't he?" Granny asks.

"Yep and heard everything." Duchess said.

Roaring Dolph leaps at them as the sounds of punches and kicks echoed from them.

---

Down below in the forest, Ramona and Gaogamon came out of the forest and entered a tall grass area.

"Where are you?" Ramona asks climbing off Gagogamon.

As both of them entered the tall grass, they heard some movement in the bushes.

"Something's near Ramona." Gaogamon said.

"Yeah I know." Ramona said.

"Dark Spiral Blow!" A blast of darkness shot out of the grass forcing them to leap out of the way.

As Ramona is about to get up Xanamor leaps in and slashes her before leaping back into the grass.

Before Gaogamon could react BlackGaogamon leaps out and slashes him.

Both of them struggle as their dark counterparts raced around slashing and hitting them before going back into the grass before they could fight back.

"You call me a wimp? Attacking and then hiding?" Ramona mocks.

"You're just jealous because you don't do what it takes to win. You're not brave to do what needs to be done." Xanamor said.

"Yeah…you're right. I don't have the courage to do things like this. Maybe when I was back in Juvie I would." Ramona admits.

"I told you, you're such a weak little puppy." Xanamor said sneaking up to her.

"But I do have the courage to do things I would never do before…like team up with a huntsman." Ramona smirks.

Suddenly an arrow flew in at Xanamor forcing her to leap out of hiding.

"Gotcha!" Taking a deep breath Ramona huffs and puffs blowing all the grass in that area away sending Xanamor crashing to the ground.

BlackGaogamon was about to attack when Peckmon leaps over them.

"Kunai Wing!" Throwing multiple Kunai down BlackGaogamon winces in pain before Gaogamon charges in.

"Dash Claw!" Gaogamon yells slashing his dark counterpart sending him crashing next to his owner.

"What in the?" Xanamor looks up to see Hunter at the top of a pine tree with his bow blade aimed right at her.

"Eat arrow you filthy mutt!" Hunter roars firing multiple arrows down at her.

Scrambling Xanamor struggles to dodge but Ramona was able to run through and nail her nobody in the gut sending her crashing to the ground.

"Asking the enemy of your story for help? Pathetic." Xanamor growls.

"You call it pathetic, and I'll admit I used to think like you. Like I only need to look out for myself that I had to push everyone even my own family away but you know what? Being a Forever After Fighter I realized I can still be tough but better. Now I have the courage to do things I would never do you may be a lone wolf but this wolf has a pack!" Ramona declares as the crest of courage appears.

"Gaogamon digivolve to…MachGaogamon!" A bright light engulfs Gaogamon and when it does down he was standing on two legs in a wrestler's themed outfit with two powerful bionic knuckles.

"Get ready Xanamor, because I'm gonna show you what a wolf who's willing to protect can do! Valor Drive!" Ramona declares as her outfit turns bright red, a blade came out of her Wolf Howler and a red hood appeared around her.

"Whoa." Hunter said not expecting this.

"Ramona's wearing a hood." Brooke said blown away.

"And she wears it well." The male narrator said.

"Just like the rest of her family." The female narrator said.

Charging in MachGaogamon nails BlackGaogamon with his mechanical fist sending the Digimon flying into the air.

"Winning Knuckle!" Swinging his arm back, MachGaogamon nails him with a powerful fist sending it flying down only for Peckmon to charge in.

"Spiral Claw!" Spinning his feet like a drill, Peckmon charges in and slashes him.

As Xanamor swings her claws, Ramona blocks it with her claw and arm blade.

Grappling both were in a lock as Xanamor tries to push Ramona back.

"You look so stupid in that hood." Xanamor said.

"I think I look like my mom." Ramona declares mustering up all her strength and throws Xanamor to the ground. "And this is payback for me and Blondie earlier!"

Charging forward Ramona delivers a powerful slash causing Xanamor to drop to the ground.

"Y-You beat me. You really are an alpha." Xanamor said as darkness surrounded her.

As golden orbs of light entered Ramona she looked to see the black digivice crack resulting in BlackGaogamon to disappear.

Panting heavily, Ramona falls to her knees exhausted.

"Ramona!" Looking over Hunter, Peckmon and MachGaogamon run over to help her up.

"That was…beyond crazy." Hunter said.

"Yeah it was. Hey be honest am I rocking this?" Ramona asks gesturing to her hood.

"Hmm Cerise wears it better." Peckmon said but MachGaogamon elbows him.

"Yeah she does, but maybe once in a while." Ramona said as Valor Drive and her hood disappear.

---

Back at the Cable Car Station, Boingo was standing in front of Red as dynamite surrounded her.

"Hey, you're a delivery girl, right? Then could you do me a favor? Could you take this down the mountain? Because it absolutely, positively has to be there tonight." Boingo said but Red screamed at him in a muffled voice.

Just outside, Kirk was wearing Dolph's ski outfit along with a ski mask.

"Alright Kirk, this is your big part. This is the role of a lifetime. Make them believe in you. Don't act like an evil henchman, be an evil henchman." Ashlynn coached.

"Remember your lines, right?" Wolf asks.

"Right." Kirk nods.

Making his way up, Kirk walks to Boingo.

"Uh, Mr. Rabbit?" Kirk calls out as Boingo slams the door shut.

"Dolph! Where have you been?! You dim-witted euro-trash with the...what is that, a ski mask? I like that. See, that's scary. That's good." Boingo said liking this.

"Uh boss." Kirk stutters.

"What?! Say it! Spit it out! What's going on?!" Boingo snaps.

"Uh Paul Bunion Cream is—" Before he could finish Wolf and Blondie walk in wearing construction helmets and glasses.

"What he means to say is we're the building inspectors." Blondie interrupts.

"We just need to tap the pipes to see if your wiring's up to par." Wolf said.

As Red looks out she sees Blondie wink at her.

"Hold on hold on…no you can't touch anything in here." Boingo said.

"Walk with us." Wolf said as they led him away.

Using this chance, Ashlynn sneaks towards the cable car while Bunny, Duchess, Ginger and Granny sneak in.

"So you're an evil genius huh?" Blondie asks.

"Well I don't know about genius." Boingo chuckles.

"You got yourself an evil lair in a mountain cave, that's standard, but see, most masters of evil that we deal with are up to evil genius code. Are you familiar with the code?" Wolf asks.

"I'm more of a do it yourself kind of guy." Boingo admits as Ashlynn taps her keyblade to the door unlocking it allowing her to cut Red free.

"Hold on a second." Boingo said sniffing the air. "I smell hairspray."

Pausing Boingo looks up to see Granny, Ginger, Bunny and Duchess hanging up above.

"Attack!" Bunny yells as Granny and Ginger drop down on Vincent and Lesa, Duchess and Bunny drop down on Keith.

"Come here you little!" Wolf said grabbing Boingo by the ears but the little rabbit kicks him.

"Come and get it!" Boingo said when Bunny leaps in and kicks him into the wall.

"You give bunnies a bad name." Bunny glares.

As Lesa grabs a metal pipe, Ashlynn blocks it with her keyblade allowing Duchess to swing her fans knocking her into some barrels.

Running to the desk Ginger grabs Granny's recipe book.

"Oh no you don't!" Grabbing the other end of it Vincent tries to pull it out of her hands but Ginger pulls back. "Let go of that book right now!"

"How about you?!" Slamming her foot down on his Vincent cringes in pain allowing Ginger to swing up whacking him in the face with the book.

"Granny!" Red said running to her.

"Red." Granny smiles when Dolph runs in but at the last second Wolf trips him causing him to skid across the floor smashing into the team.

"Nice one." Red said.

"I have my moments." Wolf said when Boingo tries to escape.

"Oh no you don't!" Blondie said as her camera droids fired lasers at him.

Leaping up Boingo kicks one back but as a result it hit another causing a laser to misfire and light the fuse.

"Uh oh." Boingo said as they looked to see the fuse was lit but the cable car was still parked inside.

Running to the switch, Boingo tries to let it go but before he could do anything Red kicks him causing the switch to break.

"That was for earlier." Red said.

"Come on Red!" Granny said grabbing her arm.

"Get out! She's gonna blow!" Wolf said as they ran out, however Boingo and his ski crew were still struggling to get up.

"Quick everyone get to my truck!" Kirk yells as they got in and drove away.

---

At the plateau, Roxas, Lobomon and Cerise were fighting off Resecix and ShadowWereGarurumon.

Swinging his keyblades, Roxas locked blades with Resecix.

"Hmm I forgot how tasty you look." Resecix grins.

"Sorry but I like my Cerise better." Roxas said pushing back. Using Monster Hero, Roxas fires mummy wraps that wrapped around her leg and throws her to the ground.

"Howling Laser!" Lobomon fires a beam of light but ShadowWereGarurumon breaks through and punches him to the ground.

Racing in Cerise leaps in with a flying kick but at the last second Resecix swings her sword slashing Cerise making her fall to the ground.

"Cerise!" Roxas gasps but before he could help ShadowWereGarurumon blasts him with black flames.

As Resecix cuts herself free she walks up to Cerise who was struggling to get up.

"Pathetic." She said kicking Cerise making her stagger back.

"S-Shut up." Cerise growls trying to stand strong.

"You really think you deserve Roxas or any friends at all? All you've ever done is hide behind your hood afraid. You've always been a coward and deep down you know that." Resecix mocks.

Hearing this Cerise frowns realizing deep down she was right. For so long Cerise had gone to desperate measures to hide her big bad secret from everyone.

"Cerise! Don't listen to her." Roxas calls out getting her attention. "You're not a coward Cerise, you're one of the bravest girls I've ever met. Remember what I've always told you!" Roxas calls out.

Pausing Cerise turns to her Nobody and reached up to her hood.

"Yeah you know what? You're right. I was scared of my secret, I was so scared that no one would accept me when they found out but then I found someone who loved me for me and thanks to Roxas I learned my friends would accept me for who I am! I'm not a freak! I'm me! Cerise Hood Badwolf!" Cerise roars throwing off her hood as the crest of Friendship glows.

"Lobomon digivolve to…KendoGarurmon!" In Lobomon's place was a white wolf Digimon in armor and two blades strapped to his back.

"Whoa." Roxas said in awe.

"Constellation Drive: Lupus!" Cerise roars as her outfit turned silver, red and blue, fingerless gloves with claws appeared on her hands and fangs grew in her mouth.

"Whoa." Roxas said in awe.

"The Wolf became a Hood and the Hood became a Wolf." The female narrator said.

Roaring KendoGarurmon charges in and rams into ShadowWereGarurumon as both wolf Digimon clash with their owners clashing nearby.

As Resecix leaps to higher ground on the rocks, Cerise chased after her using her claws to scale the rocks easier.

Leaping up Cerise kicks Resecix in the face making her stagger back.

Growing Resecix swings her sword but using her wolf senses Cerise was able to dodge and weave all the attacks while nailing multiple punches and kicks.

"Lupine Laster!"

"Fox Fire!" Both Digimon release their attacks creating an explosion.

From the smoke, Roxas leaps in and slashes ShadowWereGarurmon.

"My WereGarurumon is a million times better than you." Roxas said as he delivers multiple quick strikes.

"Story Drive: Rebel!" Roxas said glowing bright as a cloak appeared around him.

Growling ShadowWereGarurumon swings his claws at him but Roxas blocks it and skids back.

As he charges in KendoGarurumon leaps in and rams him to the ground.

"Roxas!" KendoGarurumon said as Roxas climbs onto his back.

Opening up his claymore wings, KendoGarurumon glows bright.

"Here how about a boost!" Roxas said readying his keyblades.

"Howling Star!" Racing in at an incredibly fast speed both slash ShadowWereGarurumon causing him to fall to the ground in defeat.

Up above, Resecix swings her sword knocking Cerise down.

Looking up, Cerise sees Resecix dive down to deliver a powerful kick but at the last second she rolls out of the way causing the rocks to shatter.

Leaping through the dust cloud, Cerise pounces in and kicks Resecix back.

"I've had enough of you!" Resecix snaps charging in.

"Feelings mutual! Wolf Blitz!" Spinning like a tornado, Cerise spun towards Resecix slamming her into the rocks.

Groaning Resecix looks to see she was fading away as Cerise landed nearby.

"You may have beaten me, but there are more of us even stronger." Resecix said as he turned to golden orbs entering Cerise.

"I'll be ready." Cerise said as Roxas walks up to her holding her hood in his hand.

"That was amazing." Roxas smiles.

"I learned from the best." Cerise smiles putting her hood on but left it down so her wolf ears were visible.

Suddenly an explosion went off at the station. Looking up they saw Boingo and his entire ski team fly out before tumbling all the way down the hill where the police were waiting for them.

"Take them away boys." Chief said as they threw them in the police wagon.

"No, no, no, no, not prison." Boingo panics.

"Say parcheesi!" Twitchy said snapping a picture before they were taken away.

"Not prison! Not for a cute little bunny rabbit!" Boingo screams.

Soon the press had shown up and literally everyone was giving their side of the story.

"Well this was by far one of the weirdest worlds we've been too." Hunter said.

"I'll say but at least it's finally over." Bunny said.

"And we have the recipes." Ginger said holding up the book.

However once she did the book started to glow.

"And just like that, the perfect way to close this story." Roxas smiles.

Holding out the recipe box, Roxas holds out his keyblade to seal the keyhole and when he did a new keyblade appeared.

The blade was Wolf's tail and at the end of it was Kirk's axe, the guard was in the shape of Red's hood and the handle was Granny's colors, and at the end of the keychain was Red's basket.

"Whoa, a Red Riding Hood Keyblade." Blondie said.

"What are you gonna call it?" Hunter asks.

"How about…Converging Stories?" Roxas suggests.

"I love it." Cerise smiles.

As the press finally left, Red, Wolf, Kirk, Granny and Nick were saying goodbye to everyone.

"You guys sure you can't stick around?" Red asks. "You guys are heroes."

"Nah, that's not our style." Ramona said.

"Well thanks for everything." Granny said.

"Hey Ramona, listen I know it may not mean much from me, but uh I think you're one tough wolf." Wolf smiles.

Hearing this Ramona smiles softly.

"Eh I'll take it. See you round hairball." Ramona said.

"Thank you for everything Hunter. From now on when I think Woodsman I'll try and be like you." Kirk smiles.

"Thanks big guy. I hope my character works out for you." Hunter said.

"And Ginger these are few you. A few old Puckett recipes. You earned them." Granny said handing a few pages to Ginger.

"Oh thank you so much." Ginger smiles.

"Good luck young ones. May your hearts be your guiding keys." Nick smiles as they walked away.

"Hey Cerise why are you walking around with your hood off?" Duchess asks.

"Well this world taught me something. I can embrace both my hood and my wolf sides. I don't need to be one or the other. I can just be me." Cerise smiles.

"Where have I heard that before?" Blondie asks as they looked to Roxas.

"Guilty." Roxas chuckles. "Good work Cerise."

As he reached out he ended scratching Cerise behind the wolf ear causing her to smile.

"Whoa Cerise you actually let him do that? You know the only dad lets scratch him behind the ears is mom? I didn't realize you two were that close." Ramona chuckles causing them both to blush.

"Uh…oh look there's the Tempest!" Roxas said as they both ran to it.

"Oh I am gonna enjoy telling mom and dad all about this." Ramona chuckles as they left this world.

Here's a hint for the next world: The Sands can only be unlocked by the Dagger.
