Author's Note: Whoa, we've been a lot of KH3 news this week. I think the reason for that is to make up for the lack of news last year. Though at the same time I have to admit...this week also had saddening news too, especially since a relative of mine passed away a day or two ago.

So I'm in a mixture of emotions this month, though the mourning is more important to me. At least she's in a better place now.

I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy.

CH7: Revolations.

By a few hours of walking, everyone has grown exhausted. By the first hour, Kuzco had given up walking, which led Lea to carry him, after the redhead wasn't able to handle the constant whining any longer. Though that still didn't lift his sour mood.

"Why do I always get stuck with the icky jobs?" Lea groaned, moodily as the llama lounged in his arms.

"You still haven't figured it out yet?" Isa asked, somewhat incrediously, before stating the obvious when his childhood friend glared at him. "Lea, the reason for that is because you always voulenteer."

"Well, that explains everything." Sora laughed, with Kairi giggling.

"Ha, ha." Lea deadpanned, as soon as Roxas, Xion, Ven and Aqua giggled as well while Terra, Myde and Riku smirked. "I forgot how to laugh."

"Maybe you need some laughing lessons." Kuzco teased, before glancing at Sora and Kairi who were walking side by side. Suddenly sensing something going on between them, he then asked to the two teengers, "By the way, how long have you two been dating?"

"Wait, what!?" Sora and Kairi both exclaimed.

"Where'd this come from?" Sora asked, wide eyed, while he and Kairi both blushed dark pink hue on their cheeks.

The emperor rolled his eyes, "Oh, don't tell you're going to deny it."

"Of course they still are." Jack answered for the two embarressed teens. "They don't want to admit it despite that it's painfully obvious."

"You guys are wrong." Kairi quickly shook her head. "Sora and I are close friends."

"Yeah, w-what she said." Sora added.

However, Kuzco, Jack, Donald and Lea were laughing almost hysterically as they caught on Sora and Kairi blushing. "Nice try, guys. You're in looooove!" Kuzco said, smugly.

"~Sora and Kairi, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!~" Donald, Lea, and Kuzco sang.

"Guys, stop teasing them. It's not funny." Aqua scolded them, glaring at the four.

They did cease their laughter, but still held small smirks, even as Lea replied sarcastically to Aqua, "Yes, Mom." only to shrink back a little in fright with Kuzco when the blue-haired woman's glare hardened slightly.

After another ten minutes, they were starting to get a little hungry. Okay, not a little hungry. Try a lot.

"Man, I'm starving." Myde groaned. His stomach grumbled audibly. "Is there any place to get something to eat nearby? I'm gonna collaspe!"

"I already collasped two hours ago, and that was due to hunger." Kuzco piped up.

"I'm rather surprised you're thin, with what living a luxary life as most rich, lazy people live." Jack commented.

"That's because I have a low blood suger."

"Low blood suger, huh?" Pacha asked, smirking.

Kuzco nodded, smirking in return, "Yeah, it's a curse."

"Well, there's a resturant up ahead." Mickey pointed up, turning to face everyone else, "Anyone else hungry?" almost instantly everyone nodded.

"Totally famished." Lea said.

"Not as much as me!" Myde and Kuzco both said.

"Yeah, well, as soon as we get something to eat, you're walking the rest of the way." Pacha said sternly to Kuzco.

"And don't even think of asking anyone to carry you." Isa said firmly to Myde who shrank back a little.

As the group once it to the diner's door and Lea lowered Kuzco to the ground(much to his relief), they stopped in their tracks when they noticed the 'No Llamas' sign. The group groaned, stumped at this problem.

"Problematical." Jack commented, disappointed.

"Great. I was looking forward to take a break." Sora groaned.

"Well, it's definitely a problem with me." Kuzco grumbled.

"Too bad we can't just disguise Kuzco and hide the fact that he's a llama." Myde said sarcastically.

However, when he said this, this made everyone else glance at each other and then got an idea.

Ten minutes flat, they were welcomed into the Mudkas. Kuzco was cleaverly disguised as a woman, wearing Pacha's poncho and hat, his hair curled up and they used dirt to use as make-up along with flowers. The group of eighteen were now sitting at a booth near one of the windows, as Pacha had ordered everyone everyone the special.

When they all heard the witress call out to the chef of the place, "I need eighteen heartburns and a deep-fried doorstop on table twelve!" most of them bursted out into hysterical laughter while the women giggled madly.

They all forced themselves to calm down before they would burst with hernias, taking deep breaths before returning to normal. Myde wiped tears of laughter from his eyes as he muttered, "Man, that was the best joke I've ever heard in ages.

At that moment, the witress returned with eighteen orders of what looked like giant blue beetles that'd been cooked in a pot or oven. Everyone looked at the meals in disgust, except for Pacha who grabbed a straw and tapped at the beetle, which unrolled itself and revealed yellow gooey...stuff, that was molten and steaming. He smelled it happily as it smiled delicious to him.

"Oh boy!" He said, before he began sucking the gooey stuff like a milkshake as though it was the most delicious thing in the world.

Kuzco sticked out his tongue out slightly in disgust, before turning to see the reaction of what the others think. Thankfully, he wasn't the only one thinking the 'meal' was disgusting. Everyone else all had expressions of utter disgust and some of them looked ready to eject whatever they ate previously.

Mickey hesitated until finally he just pushed his plate away, before chuckling nervously, "Ha-ha, um, on second thought, I'm not that hungry."

"I've lost my appetite." Sora groaned softly in a whisper, his eye twitching in disbelief and disgust. "Wonder who would really have this stuff?"

Despite that he was in agreement, Jack unfortunately was familiar with people's different tastes in other places in his world. He glanced over to Sora and whispered, "Clearly, you've never been to Singapore."

"Think I'm gonna be sick..." Myde shook, until he bolted out of his seat and rushed into the men's room, closing the door behind him. Thankfully, the walls were thick enough to block out the noise of him vomiting his guts out into the toilets, so no one else except for most of his friends knew what was going on.

Half a second later, Skuld bolted out of her seat, announcing, "Me too!" and went into the women's room, doing the same as Myde was doing in the men's room.

"Where did they go?" Pacha asked, with his mouthful of food.

"You don't want to know." Riku muttered.

Kuzco took one last look of his beetle, and while he was tempted to join Myde or Skuld, he decided that he was still hungry and decided to take another easy route. He slid out of the booth.

"Oi. Where are you going?" Jack asked, raising an eye-brow.

"I'm just going to slip into the kitchen and have a word with the chef." Kuzco replied.

"You're gonna get us kicked out." Terra warned in a whisper.

Kuzco rolled his eyes and smiled smugly, "Please. With this disguise, I'm invisible." before moving down on four hooves into the kitchen, Thankfully, no one noticed this either, though it did make the rest of the group uncomfortable.

At that moment, an old, wrinkly, skinny-scary looking woman and a muscular black-haired man strode into the diner and took a seat at the booth behind Sora and his friends. It was Yzma and Kronk who had stopped by here to get something to eat themselves.

"We've been walking around in circles for who knows how long. That is the last time we take directions from a squirrel." Yzma was grumbling in irritation. "I should have done away with Kuzco myself when I had the chance."

That last statement made Pacha nearly choke on his beetle and Jack to nearly drown himself with his glass of wine that he'd ordered, while the rest of the group gasped softly in shock.

"That's who turned Kuzco into a llama?" Ven exclaimed in a whisper so that the two villians couldn't hear him. Isa, Lea and Jack slowly turned to look at the old woman and immediately their expressions turned to disgust and slight fear.

"That is the ugliest woman I've ever seen." Isa shuddered.

"That's enough to give me nightmares for the rest of my life." Lea stated, eyes wide.

Jack cringed before turning away, muttering, "That woman is scary beyond all reason."

"Oh, you really gotta stop beating yourself up about that." Kronk said to try and cool her down. Yzma only bend her fork in anger since his words didn't effect her mood at all. The group decided that now was the time as good as any to get going. Sora, Ven and Pacha went to the kitchen to retrieve Kuzco. Lea and Isa went to the men's room to grab Myde who, along with Skuld, weakly walked out of the restrooms before the two men grabbed them both. Everyone else moved to head out of the door. Jack, however, lingered as he paused to gaze at the witness, then gazed at the unaware Ymza.

An idea came into mind, as to delay the female villian, and thought of his chances of success. So, while the others left, he casually approached the witness and whispered to her, "Beg your pardon. You see that lovy lady in purple?..." before whispering what he had in mind.

At the end of the suggestion the waitress still in her bored tone answered him with thumbs up and then a wave of her hand, "No problem, hon, we do that all the time."

"Thanks very much." Jack nodded, before slowly walked past Yzma and Kronk as innocently as possible as though nothing out of the ordinary was happening.

Yzma though, seeing the man slink past her and Kronk, noticed something quite odd about the way the man moved and raised an eyebrow, turning to watch him head out the door. There was something quite strange about the way that man was walking. Jack made the mistake to turn back and cringed slightly when he caught Yzma's eye, and quickly turned and quickened his pace in slight panic.

"What's the matter?" Kronk asked, noticing his boss's attention.

"There's something quite suspicious about that long-haired man." Yzma muttered.

However, before the two of them could could talk further, however, suddenly though all at once, "One! Two! Three! Four!" startling Kronk while scaring Yzma nearly out of her skin and caused her to scream as a couple of waiters and a few waitresses carried out a cake with numerous candles as they all celebrated with confetti raining down, "~Happy, happy birthday from all of us to you. We wish it was our birthday so we could party, too. Happy, happy birthday, may all your dreams come true-~"

While Yzma was even more annoyed by this, Kronk began laughing, thrilled, "It's your birthday?" as the waiters and waitresses continued to sing.

Thankfully, Sora, Ven and Pacha managed to drag Kuzco and climbed out of the back window, meeting up with the rest of the group as Jack joined them seconds later, while Kuzco demanded, "What're you guys doing?"

"Yeah, what's goin' on?" Myde asked, just as confused as Kuzco, while Skuld sensed that something was up. If the others wanted to leave urgently, it must've been bad.

"There are two people looking for Kuzco!" Sora told the three of them.

"A large man and an old woman." Aqua described.

"Wait, was this woman scary beyond all reason?" Kuzco asked.

"That's what I said when we first saw her." Jack confirmed while the others except for Myde and Skuld blinked in surprise.

Remembering the scary and old woman, the llama exclaimed happily as he wiped the make-up off and straightened his hair, "That's Yzma and Kronk! I'm saved!"

"Wait, the old lady everybody else saw is your ex-advisor?" Myde asked, wide eyed in sheer disbelief, and slight terror. "No wonder you fired her." he muttered.

"Look, they're not here to save you!" Terra warned.

"They'll take me back to the palace. Thanks for your help. You've been great. I can take it from here..." Kuzco said, about to walk away, when Jack quickly stepped in front of him.

"They're not here to rescue you, mate." Jack warned quickly, "They've come to finish off what they started, and that is to kill you."

"Kill me? Their whole world revolves around me." Kuzco laughed.

"But they're the ones who turned you into a llama!" Mickey pointed out.

"He's right." Pacha said, pulling Kuzco back, "You can't go with them!"

"What's that supposed to-" Kuzco cuts himself off, before coming to a conclusion of his own, glaring at Pacha accusingly, "Oh! Oh, I get it! You don't want to take me back to the palace. You want to keep me stranded out here forever."

"No!" Pacha denied.

"It's all been an act, and I almost fell for it!"

"Will you just listen to-"

"No, no no. You listen to me. You all of you people care about is that, that stupid hill-top!"

"What?"

"You don't care about me. Now, just get out of here. All of you!"

"But-"

"Go on! Get outta here!"

Fuming, Pacha then grunted, "Fine!"

Kuzco then turned and walked away, around the diner and stormed off. Sora and his his group watched him go, and all sighed. All they could do was hope for the best, but at the moment, was still too stubborn to even listen.

"He's a sitting duck." Myde stated.

"Oh, shut it." Jack groaned at the mullet-haired younger man.

"What do we do now?" Kairi asked, worriedly.

"There's nothing we can do." Aqua sighed, guiltily. "He won't listen and he doesn't want us with him."

"Gee, I hope Yzma and Kronk don't find him." Mickey said, worriedly.

Kuzco in the meantime, was waiting at the bushes as Yzma and Kronk were walking out of the resturant, with Kronk carrying birthday balloons and a plate that had a piece of a birthday cake. "This entire mess is your fault!" Yzma growled.

"What'd I do?" Kronk asked.

"If you hadn't mixed up those poisons, Kuzco would be dead now!" Yzma's statement caused Kuzco's expression fall instantly into shock and horror, which made him quickly hide back into the bushes sliently while she continued, "There'll be no more diversions until we track that llama down and kill him and those brats with the Keyblade!"

"Said I was sorry. Can't we just let it go? Not even on your birthday?" Kronk asked.

"Kuzco must be eliminated. The empire will finally be rid of that useless slug."

"You've got a point. Nobody really seems to care that he's gone, do they?"

Once he knew that they wouldn't see him, Kuzco came out of his hiding place and watched the villians leave, unable to believe what was happening. It was true; they'd been the reason that he turned into a llama, and now that he remembered that the three of them were having dinner at the palace, and that's when the truth hit him hard. Desperate, Kuzco raced back to the spot where he had last seen his companions, calling out, "Guys! Anyone?"

He finally spotted them walking down the dirt path an hour later after he briefly gave up and then called up when the group paused and turned when they heard him calling. Kuzco approached the people who he quickly realised that, given what they'd been trying to tell him and that what he'd just heard made him realise that he was at fault for his attitude, and it made him realise that these guys in front of him were possibly the only ones who truly cared about them and he'd been extremely close in losing them.

"L-listen guys, you know, what I said to you back at the diner, that - that - I - I didn't really..." before the llama could continue, Pacha held up a hand for Kuzco to stop walking and gave him a smile of forgiveness, as did the rest of the group, even Jack.

"So, you tired of being a llama?" Pacha asked.

Kuzco sniffled emotionally and sobbed, "Ye-ee-ee-es!"

At the same time, Kronk was again carrying Yzma in the tent, before he suddenly realised something and skid to a stop.

"What are you doing now!?" Yzma growled.

"I just remembered something." Kronk realised, thinking.

"That's wonderful." Yzma rolled her eyes, dryly.

"When I lost that bag with Kuzco, the villager he saw didn't notice and the bag was in the back of his cart." Kronk continued, not having heard that dry comment.

"Your point is?"

"He must have taken him back to his village, so if we find the village, we find him, and if we find him, we find Kuzco."

Yzma had to admit, this was probably the next best thing Kronk said all day and given to their search, this was starting to get them somewhere. Well, this was the next best clue.

"Well, what are you waiting for!? Get moving!"

Unaware of Yzma and Kronk being slightly ahead of them, Pacha lead Kuzco and the worldly travellers back towards his village as they all agreed, given that they still haven't had anything proper to eat yet, to get supplies.

"Okay, we're just gonna stop at my house and get some supplies." Pacha said as he and the others ran through the jungle.

"And we'll be on our way, right?" Kuzco asked.

"That's the plan." Sora said, as they ran around the corner of the jungle and out into the open and entered the peaceful and nice looking village. But as they ran up the stairs toward's Pacha's home, a couple of elderly villagers who were playing chess called out to Pacha.

"Hey, Pacha. You just missed your relatives." Said one villager.

The group paused in confusion, as Pacha asked, "My relatives?"

The skinner old man replied, "We just sent them up to your house."

"What did they look like?" Pacha asked.

"See, there was this big guy, and this older woman who was..." he turned to his friend and asked, "How would you describe her?"

The other man thought deeply, then answered, "Scary beyond all reason."

"Yeah, that's it." The skinner guy recalled.

Sora and his friends glance at each other worriedly, while Jack muttered worriedly, "Not good."

Inside Pacha's home, his wife Chicha was serving Yzma some tea, with a skeptical expression, feeling like she shouldn't trust the people who claimed to be her husband's relatives.

"So, remind me again how you're related to Pacha?" Chicha asked.

Trying to be polite and nice, Yzma lied, "Why, I'm his third cousin's brother's wife's step-niece's great-aunt...Twice removed." sipping her tea.

"Uh-huh." Was all Chicha said, still skeptical.

"Isn't that right, Kronk?" Yzma turned to Kronk, only to roll her eyes when Chicha wasn't looking, because the young man was playing with Pacha and Chicha's two children, their daughter Chaca, and her little brother, Tipo, playing skipping rope.

"~Ninety nine monkeys jumpin' on the bed!~" Chaca playfully sang.

"~One fell off and bumped his head!~" Kronk continued, seriously having fun like a big kid that he is.

Yzma nearly growled in irritation, before smiling innocently when Chicha spoke again, "You know, I am so sorry that you had to come all this way, but as I said to you before, you may recall, Pacha is not here. I'll be sure and tell him you came by."

"Oh, would you, please? That would be just great." Yzma replied, but accidently hit her cup which fell onto the floor, spilling tea all over the place. "Oops! Silly me."

Chicha then replied dryly, "No, no...allow me." and began bending down to pick it up, but since she's pregnant, it was such a difficult task, but that didn't stop her from trying.

Seeing that the woman was busy, Yzma used this chance to have a conversation with Kronk who was still playing with the younger children. They played paddy-cake while still playing jump-rope, having a silent conversation.

"She's hiding something. When I give the word, we search the house." Yzma whispered.

"Okay, but I still have ninety four monkeys to go." Kronk whispered back, much to Yzma's annoyance, before she quickly returned to her original position before Chicha turned back to her.

"So, while we're waiting for Paca-" Yzma began.

"Pacha." Chicha corrected.

Yzma nodded, "Oh, yes. Perhaps we can have a tour of your lovely home."

Chicha, still having suspicions about the old woman, suggested, "You know, why don't you just come back when Pacha gets home? I'm sure he'd love to show you the..." but she trailled off as out by the window behind Yzma, was her panicked looking husband who made a silent gesture to have a conversation at the back before disappearing.

Now having a feeling that something was seriously going on, Chicha made a panicked gesture, lying, "Excuse me, won't you? I think I left something in the oven." and dashed off.

Now seeing her chance, Yzma went back to Kronk who was saying to the children, "This is my variation of double dutch. On the signal, we switch places."

"Kronk, it's time!" Yzma whispered when she returned.

But as usual, he was oblivious and said, "OKAY!" and switched, now jumping again, whiel Yzma was stuck in the middle, waving the ropes for the three of them in irritation. Why couldn't he tell the difference of the timing of anything?

Meanwhile, Pacha and Chicha met in the kitchen as Pacha was explaining everything that's been happened, about Kuzco and the kingdom in danger, and about Sora and his friends helping them.

"So, we have to get back to the palace, find the lab, and change him back." Pacha explained in a whisper.

"'Ello!" Jack suddenly appeared out of the window, as did Kuzco, while the others appeared behind them, shaking their heads. The response the pirate got was Chicha smacking him in the face with a frying pan, causing him to stumble back and collaspe onto the ground. Kuzco, Sora and the rest of the group, including Pacha, winched in sympathy.

"Um...that was Jack." Pacha winched.

"Whoops." Chicha winched, looking over the unconscious man.

"Uh, hi there!" Kuzco waved at Chicha, a bit more nervously.

"Hello." Chicha replied, careful not to suddenly smack anyone this time.

"Sorry about that." Sora sheepishly said to Pacha's wife. "Jack's a little crazy sometimes."

"A little crazy?" Lea repeated skeptically at the comment.

After explaining further on the situation and some introductions, everyone came up with the plan after gathering supplies for their trip back to the palace. Chicha decided to remain behind with the children.

"Go, I'll stall them long enough for you guys to get a head start." Chicha encouraged, in a silent voice that said that she and their children will be fine.

"Thanks, honey." Pacha smiled, kissing his wife before turning to leave once more.

"Thank you so much, ma'am." Kairi nodded kindly, following her friends who all gave their nods of appreciation.

"You have a lovely wife! She's tough and very nice." Kuzco commented.

Jack, having awoken, shook his head to rid the dizziness before cracking his nose to put back into place, before apologetically suggested to Chicha, "Should we just call that equal, then?"

"Come on!" Lea grunted, pulling Jack by the back of the shirt and dragged him along with the others.

As Sora and everyone else made a mad dash back towards the Palace as fast as they could, Mickey asked the village leader worriedly, "You're just gonna leave your family to those two?"

"Oh, don't worry." Pacha replied, though he was a bit worried about his wife and children, before adding after reassuring himself that they'll be fine, "They can handle themselves."

As it turns out, the group didn't have to worry, as Chicha, Chaca and Tipo had Yzma and Kronk locked up in the closet and had even pulled out the handle which was now in Chicha's hand, leaving nothing but a hole in the door.

"What do you mean the door is stuck? Try jiggling the handle." Chicha suggested, smirking.

"There is no handle in here!" Yzma pointed out, irritated.

"There's not? Are you sure?" Chicha asked, while her two children laughed at their mother's cheekiness, something that they were enjoying, especially for the sake of their father.

"Alright!" Yzma growled, "I've had enough of this. Tell us where the talking llama is and we'll burn your house to the ground."

"Uh, don't you mean 'or'?" Kronk corrected.

Sighing heavily, Yzma tried again, this time correcting herself as she, poked her eye out the hole where the handle was, "Tell us where the talking llama is or we'll burn your house to the ground."

"Well, which is it?" Chaca shrugged. "That seems like a pretty crucial conjunction."

Now even more frustrated, Yzma finally had enough, standing away from the door and ordering her henchman, "That's it! Kronk, break the door down!"

"Break it down? Are you kidding me? This is hand-carved mahogany." Kronke protested.

"I don't care, you fool! Get out of my way!" Yzma pushed him out of the way, attempting to do so herself, "I'll break it down myself." then she started counting to three.

Chicha was expecting this, and gazed at her children, smirking, "Okay, kids, you know what to do."

Giggling away, knowing that they were allowed now to cause trouble, Chaca and Tipo replied, "Right, Mom!" and dashed off to begin their fun.

"Three!" Yzma shouted, and just as she was about to break the door down, Chicha replaced the handle and yanked it open, causing the older room to run in high speed.

The moment Yzma did that, she went sliding on a wet floor done by Tipo and those electric floor-cleaners, sending her flying out the front door into a wheel barrow which sped right down the hill. Tipo held up stick with a bee's hive which Yzma zoomed past, covering her up in honey while she threw away the beehive. Further down the hill Chaca was holding up a pillow. Yzma smacked it face first and is now covered in feathers that made her look like a chicken. The wheel barrow then crashed a rock that sent Yzma flying towards a tree where a pinata is hanging up for the children to hit at a party.

"Okay, children, on your mark, get set..." The teacher counted, as Yzma knocked it out of the way, making her now the pinata.

"Go!" The teacher cheered, and the kids began bashing her with the sticks while blind-folded, unaware that they weren't getting any candy.

"Ow! Ow! Stop it, you little brats!" Yzma grunted, before looking up and saw several footprints leading up on a hill. As her eyes followed it, she saw Kuzco, Pacha, Sora, Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Lea, Isa, Roxas, Xion, Terra, Ven, Aqua, Skuld, Myde and Captain Jack Sparrow disappearing on the other side. "Ow!"

Realising what was going on, Yzma called out to Kronk, "There they go, Kronk! They're getting away!"

At the house, the family and Kronk stood together, while Kronk laughed and said gratefully, "Ha ha ha! Well, I had a great time. Let's not wait until the next family reunion to get together." to which Chicha found that she can at least trust Kronk with her children and that he was stupid yet kind.

"KROOONNKK!"

Winching in realization, not to mention embarrassment, Kronk waved an apologetic hand and said, "I, uh, I gotta run." and ran off to help out Yzma.

As Sora and his friends ran through the jungle as fast as they could to reach the Palace while fighting off Heartless that stood in their way, they reached another ledge. Thankfully, Pacha and Terra had an idea and shot out an arrow tied up by a rope to the tree on the other side of the canyon before tying the rope tightly on the tree on their side. One by one, everyone slid to the other side to safety.

Just as all of them reached the other side, while Jack cut the rope with his cutlass, Goofy cried out all of the sudden, "Uh-oh! Here they come!"

They caught sight of Yzma and Kronk running straight towards them and to their shock, the two villians put on goggles like pilots used to wear and Kronk hits a button and wings pop out, and began flying straight towards them.

"I'll handle them!" Donald exclaimed, summoning his Staff and aimed it at Yzma and Kronk, chanting, "Thunder!"

A split second later, multiple giant bolts of lightning hit Yzma and Kronk who were just partially over the canyon, causing them to turn comically crispy black. Another second later, the duo fell down into the canyon below.

"Good goin', Donald!" Mickey congratulated, before he and everyone else immediately ran to reach their destination as quickly as possible.

Having finally made it back to the Palace, with rain and thunder pouring and booming outside, Sora and his group made it inside and Kuzco led them the way to Yzma's lab. Thankfully, it wasn't guarded, which made things easier. Though with more Heartless in the building, the worldly travellers took care of them.

In another hallway, which was darker than the one they'd all previously been at, they arrived in a dark, misty room full of broken statue heads of Kuzco that was littered all over the floor, next to a large wooden sledge hammer. They ignored this, however, as Kuzco lead them to the two levers, and Myde pulled one of them, only for a trap door to open underneath Jack and causing him to fall screaming, landing in the water with a splash.

"Oops. Wrong lever." Myde winched.

"Okay, why does she even have that lever?" Kuzco asked, raising an eye-brow. At that moment, a sliding door opened and a soaking wet Jack Sparrow stepped out of the murky water, an alligator biting on his coat with a happy-looking expression.

"Care to explain why that woman bloody even have that lever?" Jack grumbled, before turning to see the alligator, before pulling out his pistol and pouted at it, "Oi! My coat!" and smacked it on the snot with the butt of the weapon, causing the alligator to scamper away, whimpering like a dog.

He then shooed Goofy away, "Move." as Jack rejoined the others. As he, Pacha and Kuzco stood at the levers, Jack pulled the other lever and soon enough, the floor pushed the three of them through the invisible door.

"I guess we found our secret lab." Aqua said, pulling the lever herself, before she, Isa and Terra disappeared through the door. Next were Mickey, Ven and Riku, then Donald, Skuld and Goofy, then Lea, Roxas and Xion, and then finally Sora, Kairi and Myde as the latter gulped nervously before he pulled the lever.

The floor flipped the trio right into the invisible entrance and into what looked like a dark evil rollercoaster seat. The next thing Sora, Kairi and Myde knew, the bar snapped down onto their laps before they could even react, and then they heard a robotic voice echo around them, "Please remain seated and keep your arms and legs in at all times."

"Man...I hate rollercoasters!" Myde whimpered. He and the others then screamed as the coaster send them spirialing with many twists and turns and then sent running down a huge spiralling lane down into the deepest reaches of the lair, before it came to a violent stop and sent them flying out of their seats. While Myde crashed right on top of Donald and Goofy, causing all three of them to be seeing stars circle around their heads, Sora and Kairi both landed safely and sighed in relief.

The teenagers quickly rushed over towards the table where the others were. All of them tried to find the right potion to turn Kuzco back into a human, but it was turning out to be a more difficult task.

"What does it look like?" Sora asked, as he looked at stray bottles and tubes, looking for a label or something that would help.

"I don't know. Just keep looking!" Kuzco replied.

Isa found an owl statue before opening it's wings to reveal that it was a cabinet with several potions with labels.

"Over here!" He called out to the others who joined him immediately. "It has to be one of these. Lions, tigers, bears-" only to stop when all of the vials of humans were all completely gone.

Then their blood chilled when they heard an awful familiar voice speak behind them, "Oh, my. Looking for this?"

When the group turned around, out of the darkness, was Yzma who was holding the last potion with the human label. Their eyes widened in shock and disbelief.

"Oh no!" Mickey gasped. "It's Yzma!"

"No! It can't be!" Kuzco gasped.

Sora stood in defense, demanding, "How'd you get back here before us!?"

Yzma was about to explain when she paused, realising that she had no idea either.

"Ah...Uh, how did we, Kronk?" Yzma turned to her Henchman for some help.

Kronk, who was standing nearby with a burnt tent on his back, shrugged cluelessly, "Well, you got me." before pulling down a chart out of nowhere that showed Sora's team and Yzma's team routes, including them falling when Donald's spell hit them. "By all accounts, it doesn't make sense."

At this response, Yzma merely shrugged and turned back to the group. "Oh well. Back to business."

"Okay, I admit it." Kuzco laughed nervously, "Maybe I wasn't as nice as I should have been...but, Yzma, you really want to kill me?"

Yzma smiled, sastified by the llama's reaction before she told him evilly, "Just think of it as you're being let go, that your life's going in a different direction, that your body's part of a permanent outplacement." which caused Kuzco to gulp at his words, and even Pacha and the worldly travellers were horrified by this statement.

Kronk somewhat ruined Yzma's moment as he remarked, "Hey, that's kind of like what he said to you when you got fired." as he shrugged off the crispy tent.

"I know. It's called a cruel irony-like my dependence on you." Yzma grumbled.

"This is what it's really all about?" Riku asked, shocked and somewhat dumbfounded, as were his friends and companions.

"I have to admit, that wasn't the kind of reason to kill someone I had in mind." Jack thought, just as dumbfounded as his companions.

"Well, then I suppose you weren't expect this, either!" Yzma grinned, beginning to lift her dress.

"AHH!" Most of them screamed, covering their eyes, while most of the boys held out one hand to get Yzma to stop as they all thought of the most horrible thing she was about to do; such as show off her awful wrinkly old legs, which was a sight that would give them nightmares.

"No!" Sora, Riku, Kuzco, Pacha, Mickey, Terra, Ven and Jack pleaded.

"Please, no!" Kairi, pleaded, covering her face with her hands.

"No way!" Myde screamed.

"Not that!" Goofy pleaded.

"NO!" Donald screamed.

"Anything but that!" Lea cried out.

Yzma smirked and pulled her skirt up, revealing a knife on her garter and grinned, "Aha!"

Seeing this, everyone relaxed and sighed in relief, as Kuzco said, "Oh, okay."

"Not as bad as I thought." Roxas sighed in relief.

Yzma laughed, before tossing the knife to Kronk who caught by the handle as she ordered him, "Finish them off."

But Kronk seemed to be torn by this, gazing back and forth between the knife and the group. He didn't know what to do. While he knew he had to follow orders, it still felt wrong to hurt Kuzco, Pacha and the people he never met. It wasn't until a voice rang through his head, "Hey, you're not backing down now, are you, big guy?"

Poof! His bad-side conscience appeared on his left shoulder, wearing a devil costume. Puzzled, Kronk asked, "Uh, where's the other guy?"

The shoulder angel shows up and he's having his hair done. He's sitting in a hair dryer like in a beauty salon. Seeing this, The shoulder angel stood up and apologuised, "Sorry I'm late. So, what'd I miss?"

"Well, Yzma just tossed me this knife and asked me to, you know, take them out." Kronk explained to his shoulder angel. But while Kronk was having a conversation with his consciousnesses, the others could only see that he was talking to himself and were dumbfounded, especially since they couldn't see his consciousnesses.

Yzma turned to the others with a dumbfounded look while jerking a thumb at Kronk behind her, silently asking for an explanation, only to rechieve shrugs from Sora and his friends, just as clueless as she was.

"And you lot thought I was crazy." Jack commented to his worldly companions.

"Then this guy popped up and we waited for you, and quite honestly-" Kronk continued.

"Kronk!" Yzma snapped, getting Kronk and his consciousnesses' attentions. "Why did I think you could do this? This one simple thing. It's like I'm talking to a monkey."

"Whoa now." Angel-Kronk stuttered, shocked.

"A really, really big, stupid monkey named Kronk!" Yzma continued.

"Ouch." Devil-Kronk gasped, just as shocked.

"And do you want to know something else? I've never liked your spinach puffs."

Kronk and his consciousnesses gasped in horror, as Yzma finished, "Never!" with a smirk. Heartbroken, Kronk whimpered while Angel-Kronk tried to comfort him, as though it was most horrible thing he's ever heard.

The Devil-Kronk had another idea, though, as he aimed his trident at Yzma, grunting angrily, "That's it! She's going down!"

"Now, now, remember, guys. From above, the wicked shall receive their just reward." Angel-Kronk pointed out.

While Yzma was looking at Kronk impaitently, Kronk and his consciousnesses looked up to gaze at the very heavy metal chandelier hanging right above her. The three of them thought of the very same idea, and chorused, "That'll work."

Instantly, Kronk cut the rope and the entire chanderlier falls towards Yzma who gasped in shock when she saw this about to crush her to death.

CRASH!

This caused everyone to turn away. But when they looked back, they all shivered with horrified and dumbfounded faces...as Yzma, very skinny, managed to squeeze herself right through the middle of the chandelier, perfectly unharmed at all.

"Strange. That usually works." Kronk thought.

"And so does this!" Yzma replied, as she went to another lever that looked like a vile and pulled it down, which revealed a trap door underneath the traitor.

"Ah. Should've seen that coming." Kronk remarked, before falling down, screaming, "WHOOAAA!" while the Angel-Kronk and Devil-Kronk clinged onto each other and fell down as well.

That was when things were about to get a bit ugly.

A/N: Okay, so the Kuzco-Topia world will be four chapters long, because the last battle against Yzma is in the next chapter. I'll see you in the next chapter when I'm able. Maybe it'll be tomorrow as my family and I are making arrangements for the funeral.
