The sun began to rise over the horizon of a very vast and peaceful kingdom. Then out of nowhere, the call of royal trumpets from the musicians of the queen, thus filling the entire air and the wind with its sounds. The sound was carried throughout the entire kingdom, catching the attention of both its people and creatures alike. The call was beckoning them to come to the Courtyard of the Royal Palace where the queen and her family resides. Then we hear the sound of a male singer and a background singer singing…
Male singer: Nants ingonyama bagithi baba
Background singer: Sithi uhm ingonyama
A lone Elasmotherium raises its head to the calling of the queen. A trio of Digimon called Geogreymon pick their heads up to the call of the queen. A small group of Mouse-like Pokemon called Pikachu runs up a hill, stand up on their back legs and look over the horizon. A lone Dimetrodon which is a Mammal-like Reptile creature walks up to the top of another hill and looks at the horizon as well.
Male singer: Nants ingonyama bagithi baba
Background singer: Sithi uhm ingonyama
At the water some Avian Birds, Flying Type Pokemon, and Pterosaurs hear the call as they look at each other. Then a lone Digimon called Crowmon spreads out its wings and takes off into the sky, as the other Avian Birds, Flying Type Pokemon, and Pterosaurs follow. We see a group of Dimorphodon and Pteramon flying past a lush waterfall on their way to the Royal Palace. As we see a large mountain we also see some herds mixed of Mammoth-like Digimon called Mammothmon, some Elephant-like Pokemon called Phanpy and Donphan, along with some Apatosaurus and Argentinosaurus. They were heading to the Royal Palace as the sun started to rise higher in the sky as a flock of Blue Jays followed the herds below.
As we pass over the waterholes we see more Avian Digimon called Aquilamon, Birdramon, and Falcomon along with some Dragon Type Pokemon called Salamence, Garchomp and Dragonite.
In a grassy meadow down on the ground we see Deerling and Sawsbucks leaping with some White Tailed Deer and Megaloceros, as a herd of Edmontosaurus run beside them all on their way to the Royal Palace.

We now see a group of kids with one of them being younger than the others, walking up a hill and as they step into the sunlight they see a large crowd of people cheering and moving towards the Royal Palace. The group of kids quickly race down the hill to join them. Then a female singer starts to sing…
Female singer: From the day we arrive on the planet
And, blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
A group of Ant-like Pokemon called Durrant were marching while carrying leaves heading towards the Royal Palace. As they walk along the branches a herd of Zebra-like Pokemon called Blitzle and Zebstrika gallop alongside a herd of Iguanodon on their way to the Royal Palace.
A huge group of small Carnivorous Dinosaurs called Compsognathus were rushing forward as a big group of Tyrannosaurus Rex were walking right behind them. As the T-Rexes stomped forward a more slower Compsognathus came rushing past trying to catch up to his pack, and just barely missing the Tyrannosaur's big feet.
Over by the water a large herd of Lystrosaurus started entering the water from the bank and started swimming to the otherside. Some Birds and smaller Pterosaurs were seen resting on some Torterras which are the Continent Pokemon, as some Parasaurolophus, Triceratops and Stegosaurus are shown having either some smaller creatures or humans riding on them. As they all got to the otherside of the lake they quickly made their way up the bank and towards the Royal Palace.
Female singer: There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
Then we see a massive palace that was called the Royal Moon Palace, as it's coloured like the colours of the Moon. As all the Humans, Animals, Dinosaurs, Pokemon, Digimon, and many more creatures were all seen moving towards it. As a small female Hornbill called Zozu the queen's royal adviser was flying overhead towards the Royal Moon Palace, where we see the queen, the whiteette lady named Queen Serenity, standing on a balcony looking over the kingdom.
Female singer: It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
When Zozu flies and lands in front of Queen Serenity, she bows to her; Queen Serenity smiles and nods at her.
Female singer: Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Then we see Kari Kamiya the teenage brunette walking through the ranks of subjects, as they bow to her; she then climbs up the Royal Moon Palace to where Queen Serenity's standing.
Female singer: 'Til we find our place
On the path unwinding
Kari and Queen Serenity both embraced each other and hugged deeply.
Female singer: In the Circle
The Circle of Life
Queen Serenity then leads Kari to the king Atem, who is sitting on his throne holding their newborn daughter Usagi in his arms, as the Captain of the Royal Guards named Ash with his girlfriend May smiled at their majesties. Queen Serenity went over to King Atem and they nuzzled each other's cheeks lovingly. As Kari approaches the newborn princess she first waves her staff over the princess' head and shakes it. The princess liked the sound of the rattling gourds tied to Kari's staff, as she raised one of her hands and her first little finger's in the air. As Kari puts her staff down, she takes off one of the fruits and cracks it open, and then she takes the juices out and paints it on Usagi's head in a Crescent Moon shape. Next Kari takes some petals of a Moon Flower and sprinkles them on the newborn's head, forming the juice and petals on Usagi's brow, rearranging the petals into a ceremonial crown. Usagi also sneezed as some petals tickled her nose when Kari sprinkled them on her, causing Queen Serenity and King Atem to smile.

Kari then picked Usagi up and carried her over to the balcony or the Royal Moon Palace ready to show her to the kingdom. Both Queen Serenity and King Atem smiled and followed her as did Ash, May and their loyal partners Pikachu and Glaceon. As the Digi-Destined got closer to the edge of the balcony, the crowd down below got more and more excited. At last Kari reaches the edge of the balcony and lifts Usagi up high in the air for the whole crowd to view the queen's first born daughter.
Female singer: It's the Circle of Life
The White Tailed Deer, and Megaloceros' latted in joy as the Mammothmons, and Donphans trumpeted happily. The rest of the Digi-Destines cheered with their Digimon partners below. The T-Rexes, Geogreymons, and Lions roared loudly in happiness, the Aipoms cheered and leaped up and down with the Lemurs, and the Zebstrikas, Lystrosauruses, Iguanodons and Parasaurolophuses bellowed and stamped their feet in joy.
Female singer: And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Then the clouds part and a sunbeam shines on Kari and Usagi highlighting them on the balcony on the Royal Moon Palace.
Female singer: 'Til we find our place
Then some Blitzles started taking a knee and bowed, followed by a pair of Deinotherium, and a small group of Brachiomon. Then all the rest of the crowd starts to bow to the new heir to the throne one by one.
Female singer: On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life
As we zoom out we see Kari, Usagi, Queen Serenity, King Atem, Ash, May, Pikachu and Glaceon on the balcony, as the whole crowd below is seen bowing as it looked like a new and bright future was about to start.
An hour later a small Alphadon came scurrying out of its home, which was a hole in the Palace Wall and moves along the floor sniffing the air. Queen Serenity allows for the smaller Mammals to stay at the palace for a few days before they head out into the kingdom to find a more suitable home. As it moves into the light, it begins to sniff the air once more. Then all of a sudden, it became frightened and tried to scurry away from something. But before it could, a hand came down on its tail preventing the little Mammal from escaping. The hand that stepped on the rodent belonged to Louisa, who was Queen Serenity's sister.
Although exactly the same height, Serenity was the older one and she had been chosen to become queen. Louisa was promised to take the throne when the queen died, but that all changed with Usagi's birth. Louisa had become upset and bitter with Usagi's birth and now she had to wait for Usagi to pass before she could be queen. Keeping her hand on the Alphadon she lifted up the rodent by the tail, she soon had the Alphadon at her eye level.
"Life's not fair is it? You see I - well I… shall never be queen." Said Louisa, as the Alphadon got its tail free and crawled up her hand hoping to escape. She then slightly chucks it in the air and grabs its tail. "And you… shall never, ever see the light of another day." She chuckles slightly and brings the Alphadon close to her mouth. "Adieu…" Louisa opened her mouth, closed her eyes and was ready to swallow the little Alphadon whole.
"Didn't your father ever tell you not to play with your food?" Asked an interrupting voice, catching Louisa off guard.
Louisa turned her head and saw Zozu standing near her, with her wings to her sides.
Louisa sighed lightly, with the Alphadon stuck under her hand and said. "What do you want?"
"I'm here to announce that Queen Serenity and Captain Ash's Girlfriend May are on their way!" Zozu said as she bowed, then turned with a look of displeasure. "So you'd better have a really good excuse for missing the ceremony this morning."
Then the Alphadon finally got itself free from Louisa's hand and then quickly hurried back to its home in the wall and safely away from the black ordango.
"Oh now look Zozu you made me lose my lunch!" Louisa pouted, seeing the Alphadon escape.
"Hah you'll lose more than that when the queen gets through with you. She's as mad as a Rhyhorn with a hernia." Zozu said, as she crossed her wings and turned around.
"Oooh… I quiver with and in FEAR!" Louisa said, and on the word 'FEAR', she crouched down and bared her teeth at Zozu.
Zozu was now very scared of the way Louisa was looking at her and backed away. "Now Louisa, don't look at me that way… HELP!" Cried Zozu with concern and then fear, as she tried to fly away from Louisa, but the blackette caught her in her mouth trapping Zozu inside.
"Louisa!" Said a stern voice from behind her.
Louisa looks behind her and sees a whiteette Queen Serenity and a teenage brunette May with Glaceon standing on a ledge above her. The Queen seemed to be quite angry with Louisa.
"Mm-hmm?" Louisa asked with her mouth full.
"Drop her now." Ordered Queen Serenity.
"You heard the Queen!" May said. "Release Zozu now!"
Zozu's beak then came sticking out of Louisa's mouth. "Impeccable timing, Your Majesty. You too Lady May."
Louisa reluctantly spits the Hornbill out of her mouth, causing her to roll thrice before stopping. Zozu was now covered in Louisa's saliva.
"Eyuck!" Zozu said, completely slimed.
"Well if it isn't Captain Ash's girlfriend." Louisa said humorlessly. "What brings you here might I ask?"
"Queen Serenity requested me to come." May answered.
"Glaceon!"
Louisa then walked past May and over to Queen Serenity. "Why if it isn't my big sister descending from on high to mingle with the commoners." Louisa sarcastically said, as she walked to the wall.
"Atem and I didn't see you at the presentation of Usagi." Queen Serenity said.
"That was today?" Louisa rhetorically asked, as she approached the wall. "Oh I feel so simply awful." As she said that she scratched her sharp nails on a chalkboard, making Zozu tense up at the sound.
"AAAAHH!!" May groaned as she covered her ears. "I hate it when someone does that."
"It must've just slipped my mind." Louisa said, faking her amusement.
"Yes, well as slippery as your mind is, as the Queen's sister you should've been first in line!" Zozu said as she flew in Louisa's face.
Louisa clicks her teeth at Zozu, making the Hornbill nervous and ducked for cover behind Queen Serenity's dress,
"Well I was first in line until the little meatball head was born!" Louisa said, as she bent down to speak to her.
"Watch who you're talking to Louisa!" May said, with her spear out. "You'd do well to not insult the Queen's daughter!"
"That 'meatball head' is my daughter… and your future queen." Queen Serenity said, lowering her head to meet Louisa eye to eye.
"Oh I shall practice my curtsy." Louisa said, as she turned around and started walking away.
"Don't turn your back on me Louisa!" Queen Serenity warned her.
"Oh no Serenity." Louisa said, turning her head. "Perhaps you shouldn't turn your back on me." Louisa then walked away.
Queen Serenity yelled and ran forward and she literally jumped in front of her sister stopping her. May and Glaceon were at her side.
"What was that you said to our Queen?!" May asked furiously.
"Glace!"
"Is that a challenge?" Queen Serenity roared.
"Temper, temper, temper. I wouldn't even dream of challenging you big sis." Louisa said.
"Pity why not?" Zozu asked.
"Well as far as brains go I got the queen's share but when it comes to good looks and brute strength…" Louisa said, looking down at Zozu, and then at Queen Serenity. "I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool." Then she walks away.
"Sheesh you two make me and Max look like best friends majesty." May said, comparing the fight between the two ordangos and the ones she sometimes has with her little brother.
Zozu deeply sighed and said. "There's one in every family, Sire. Two in mine actually." Then she flew up and perched on Queen Serenity's shoulder. "And they always manage to ruin special occasions."
"Oh what am I gonna do with her?" Queen Serenity asked.
"She'd make a very pretty dress." Zozu said.
"Zozu!" Queen Serenity said chiding.
"And just think! Whenever she gets dirty you can take her out and BEAT her!" Zozu said.
"Good one Zozu!" May laughed. "Your Majesty, may I be excused? I have to go and get ready for my date with Ash."
"Of course May." Queen Serenity replied. "I don't want you to miss out on spending time with your soulmate."
They all had a chuckle as they headed back to the Royal Moon Palace together.
Hours later it was getting dark and the rain clouds were forming as the rain came down in buckets. In the middle of one of the fields in the kingdom was a very large and old tree. As the thunder crashed and the lightning flashed, the tree was revealed to be the Digi-Destines meeting place.
"Boy that was the best royal presentation I've ever seen!" Veemon said.
"Veemon, it's the only royal presentation we've seen." Davis said.
"Oh right my bad." Veemon said.
"It sure was great to see the future queen." Yolei said. "I'm sure when Usagi grows up she'll make a great queen."
"Me too." Codi said. "As long as she uses her power to help others."
"I'm sure she'll follow in her mother's footprints." Ken said.
"So do we." Hawkmon, Armodillomon and Wormmon said.
"Hey wait, where's Kari?" Gatomon asked.
"She's in her spare room painting a picture of Usagi." Patamon said.
"The work of a royal magusi is never done." T.K said.
The top part of the tree was all for Kari. Inside her room were hand paintings all over the walls. Kari was busy painting a picture of a baby that was Usagi. Kari was muttering to herself as she painted. "Hmmm… Ah heh, heh, heh, heh, heh…" Kari mutters to herself. As she finished all the juice in one half of a baobab fruit and placed the empty one to one side. She picked up the other half as she looked at her painting. "Hmm, ah ha, ha, ha, ha." Kari chuckled as she took her left middle finger in the fruit and painted the ceremonial crown on the picture. "Usagi." Kari said as she looked at her finished picture.
Several years had passed since the birth of the queen's new heir, Usagi. At the crack of dawn during one morning at the Royal Moon Palace, it was peaceful and quiet. Then the young princess was seen coming out of the Royal Moon Palace and standing on the balcony. The young blonde coloured ordango princess looked across the horizon, seeing the beautiful site of the kingdom. The rising sun started coming up and began illuminating the kingdom.
Usagi smiled with impressed. Then she'd almost forgotten the promise her mother made to her. Usagi was very excited today, as her mother was going to show her the whole kingdom, during Ash and May's Dawn Patrol. Usagi ran back inside the Royal Moon Palace to wake her mother.
"Mom, Moom! Come on Mom we've gotta go! Wake up!" Usagi said as she jumped over some of the servants, guards and other family members, who were sleeping in sleeping bags on the floor, thus accidentally jumped on a few.
"Oomph!" One of the guards that Usagi accidentally jumped on said.
"Sorry." Usagi apologised, to the ones she accidentally stepped on. She then reached her mother and father and Usagi started to nudge her mother to wake her. "Mom? Moom. Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom!" Usagi groaned, saying the word 'Mom' endlessly to wake her.
Queen Serenity didn't speak, but her father King Atem did speak as he began to stir. But he didn't open his eyes though. "Your daughter… is awake." King Atem said to Queen Serenity sleepily, who was getting tired of hearing Usagi's endless noise of 'Mom's'.
Finally Queen Serenity spoke. "Before sunrise she's YOUR daughter." Queen Serenity said to King Atem sleepily, but she didn't open her eyes either.
Ash and May, who were sleeping nearby, were tired of the princess' impatience and woke up.
"Ooohhh." Ash groaned. "I give up. Come on, May we'd better get ready for our Dawn Patrol."
"Alright Ash." May yawned. "It's better than listening to the word 'mom' over and over again."
With that said they, Pikachu and Glaceon left to get ready for their Dawn Patrol.
Usagi, seeing them leave, was now more impatient. "Mom? Moom! Come on, Mom!" Usagi said, still trying to get her mother to wake up. Then she ran beside her, grabbed one of her mother's arms and tugged on it. "Moo- Whoa!" Usagi said, but suddenly lost her grip on her mother's arm and fell backwards onto her back.
Getting back on her feet she then ran back in front and butted Queen Serenity to her head. Queen Serenity finally opened her eyes a little and sleepily looked at her daughter. "You promised! You said I can go with you, Ash and May on the Dawn Patrol!"
Queen Serenity then began to see that her daughter's impatient with waiting. Queen Serenity also knew that Usagi would go on with this for a while.
Seeing her daughter's impatience she said. "Okay, okay. I'm up, I'm up."
"Yeah!" Usagi cheered.
Queen Serenity began to yawn a mini roar-like yawn and slowly got up. King Atem began to wake up with her.
Both parents began to follow Usagi to the path that leads to the top of the Royal Moon Palace. Then Usagi ran back to her father and rubbed against him. King Atem nudged Usagi and stayed behind, showing his loving expression. Queen Serenity and Usagi began walking up the path to the top of the Royal Moon Palace as King Atem smiled happily.
The sunrise began to illuminate the top of the Royal Moon Palace impressively as it rises higher. As Queen Serenity and Usagi reach the top of the Royal Moon Palace, they can see the entire kingdom being illuminated by the rising sun, making it a very beautiful site to see.
There was a moment of quiet between them, then Queen Serenity finally spoke. "Look Usagi. Everything that the light touches is our kingdom." Queen Serenity said.
"Wow!" Usagi awed.
"A queen's time as ruler rises and falls like the Sun and the Moon. One day Usagi the Sun will set on my time here, and the Moon will rise with you as the new queen." Queen Serenity said, looking down at her daughter.
"And this'll all be mine?" Usagi asked.
"Everything." Queen Serenity said. "But as queen you must use your power to help others and not use it for your own selfish purposes."
"So I share this land with everyone?" Usagi asked.
"Yes, my daughter." Queen Serenity answered.
"Wow, everything the light touches." Usagi said to herself and looked around.
Then she became curious about the shadowy area on the other side of the river on the very edge of the kingdom.
"What about that shadowy place?" Usagi asked her mother.
"That's beyond our borders. You must never, ever go there, Usagi." Queen Serenity said.
"But I thought a queen can do whatever she wants." Usagi said, looking up at her mother.
"Oh, there's a lot more to being queen then… getting your way all the time." Queen Serenity said, and started to head down the path.
"You mean there's more?" Usagi asked in awe.
"Usagi." Queen Serenity chuckled and smiled.
The two soon reached the entrance to the palace where Ash, May, Pikachu and Glaceon were there waiting for them.
"Good morning Your Majesties." They greeted the two ordangos.
"Ash, May ready for the Dawn Patrol?" Queen Serenity asked.
"Yes My Queen." Ash replied. "We're both ready and waiting for you two."
"Ready to see the kingdom princess?" May asked.
"Yes I'm ready!" Usagi said excitedly.
"Then off we go!" Queen Serenity declared.
With that they made their way out of the palace grounds and out towards the kingdom.
2 hours later Ash, May, Pikachu, Glaceon, Queen Serenity and her daughter Usagi were walking through the fields on a glorious and beautiful day. The wind blows gently throughout the fields, making the grass move in a wave-like pattern. The wind feels good blowing in Queen Serenity's and Usagi's hair. The cool and crispy wind blowing through their hair. Ash and May told Usagi that Queen Serenity had chosen Ash to be the Captain of the Guards and Ash explained how he chose May as his girlfriend. Queen Serenity was busy talking to her daughter about their kingdom, when a family of Tyrannosaurus Rex, 1 adult and 2 children, appeared and approached the Queen and her daughter. Usagi began to feel scared at the very sight of them. Usagi knew she was a human, and she knew that Carnivores liked to eat meat, and Tyrannosaurus Rexes were Carnivores. Usagi quickly hid behind her mother as the Tyrannosaurus Rex family approached them.
"Ah Danny." Queen Serenity greeted.
"My Queen, it's a pleasure to see you here today." Danny said, and the male Tyrannosaur and his kids bowed down to her.
"How are you?" Queen Serenity asked.
"A little tired but okay." Danny replied. Then he sees Usagi hiding behind her mother. "And you brought your daughter? Such an honour. Kids please say 'hello' to Usagi."
"Hello." The two Tyrannosaurus Rex kids said.
But Usagi didn't say anything, and she still hid behind her mother.
"Princess what's wrong?" May asked. "Why aren't you saying hello to our friends?"
"Oh I get it." Ash said. "You're afraid of him. There's no need to worry Princess Danny's one of the friendliest T-'Rexes you'll ever meet."
Queen Serenity chuckled and said. "Come on now daughter, don't be afraid. It's alright."
Slowly but surely Usagi moved out from behind her mother and approached the adult male Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"Aw look at you. You've grown up so much." Danny said with a smile. Usagi still didn't say anything as she was still scared of the Carnivore.
"Aw, you're scared of me? Nonsense. You don't need to be. I'd never, ever harm any member of the Queen's family." Danny said.
Then Usagi became curious about what the Carnivore said. "But… why?" Usagi asked.
"Because we Carnivores both in the air, water or land aren't allowed to harm, hurt or even lay a claw on a member of the queen's family. There's a law for that." Danny said.
"Wait, you Carnivores have laws?" Usagi asked, confused. "I thought Carnivores can eat whoever they want whenever they want."
"Not exactly Princess." May said, while approaching her side. "You see the Carnivores here in the kingdom kill for food and only food alone. They never take more than their fair shares."
"They are forbidden to attack any humans in the kingdom." Ash added. "As there's much more suitable food for them with the Herbivore herds."
"Here's the thing: Carnivores aren't ever allowed to hunt or feast on the queen and her family." Danny said.
"And in return, they're free to hunt any Herbivores in the kingdom." Queen Serenity said.
"Besides we also need a ruler to handle the populations, so that's why we Carnivores have to protect the queen and her family. Including you Usagi." Danny said.
"So there's no need to worry Usagi." Queen Serenity reassured her daughter.
Then Usagi began to feel relieved after hearing everything.
"Boy I'm sure glad I don't have to worry about getting eaten." Usagi said.
Ash, May, Queen Serenity and Danny all laughed at Usagi's comment. Then Danny looks at Queen Serenity.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty but have you or Captain Ash and Lady May seen any Herbivores around? We can't seem to find any to hunt." Danny said.
"I remember Pikachu and I saw some Ouranosaurus a few minutes ago." Ash said.
"There's a herd of Parasaurolophus and Ouranosaurus nearby. They should still be there." Queen Serenity said.
"Thank you Captain Ash, and thank you My Queen. Good day to you and your daughter." Danny said, and he and his kids walked off.
Then Ash, May, Pikachu, Glaceon, Queen Serenity, and her daughter kept walking as Queen Serenity began to finish explaining the Circle of Life to her daughter.
"Everything you see exists together, in a delicate balance. As queen you need to understand that balance and respect all the Creatures, from the crawling Durrant to the towering Argentinosaurus." Queen Serenity explained to her daughter.
"But Mom, don't the Carnivores eat the Herbivores?" Usagi asked.
"Yes Usagi but let me explain. When we die our bodies become the grass, and the Herbivores eat the grass. And when the Carnivores die their bodies also become the grass, which all the Herbivores feast upon. And so we are all connected in the great Circle of Life." Queen Serenity said.
Then Zozu flew in and landed lightly on a rock.
"Good morning, Sire!" Zozu greeted.
"Good morning, Zozu." Queen Serenity said.
"Checking in… with the Morning Report!" Zozu said.
"Fire away." Queen Serenity said.
"Well! The buzz from the Beedrills is that the Smilodons are in a bit of a spot…" Zozu reported.
Apparently, Queen Serenity didn't usually care about Zozu's reports. All she talked about is the usual behaviour of the local Creatures in the kingdom. Nothing was ever serious about her reports.
"Oh, really?" Queen Serenity asked, being distracted by what Usagi was doing. Uninterested in Zozu's report Usagi noticed a little GrassHopper and leapt at it to tackle it. But Usagi missed it and the GrassHopper hopped away.
"And the Ambipoms are going Apemon over this. Of course the Brachiosaurus are acting like they're above it all…" Zozu continued with her report.
She didn't notice Queen Serenity, Ash, Pikachu, May and Glaceon's lack of enthusiasm.
"Hey what's the Princess doing?" Ash wondered.
"Pika?"
"What are you doing daughter?" Queen Serenity asked Usagi.
"Tackling." Usagi said, disappointed that she failed to tackle a GrassHopper.
"Let an old pro show you how it's done." Queen Serenity said with a sly grin on her face.
"Oh this is going to be fun." May said, catching on to the queen's idea.
"Glaceon."
"...The Peckmons are pecking at the Mammothmons. I told the Mammothmons to forget it but they can't…" Zozu still continued her report.
"Zozu, would you turn around please?" Queen Serenity requested.
"Yes Sire." Zozu said as she turned around and immediately continued with her report. "The Garurumons are hard up, but I always say…"
"Stay low to the ground." Queen Serenity whispered to Usagi and Usagi crouched down really low in the grass.
"Garurumons never prosper…" Zozu said, unaware of what Queen Serenity and Usagi were up to.
"Okay, stay low to the ground, right… yeah…" Usagi whispered as she crouched even lower.
"What's going on?" Zozu asked, realising that something is amiss with her back turned.
"A tackling lesson." Queen Serenity said to Zozu.
"And you're the tackle-e." May smirked.
"Oh very good. Tackling." Zozu said. Then she suddenly realised what tackling is and who's going to be tackled. Zozu herself. "Tackling!?" She quickly turned to them and said. "Oh no, Sire, you just can't be serious…" But Queen Serenity motions for her to turn back around with a smirk on her face. "Oh… this is so humiliating." Zozu groaned as she turned back around feeling uneasy.
"Try not to make a sound." Queen Serenity whispered to Usagi.
"What are you telling her, Serenity?" Zozu asked and looked back uneasily. But when she did, she saw Ash, Pikachu, May, Glaceon, Queen Serenity and Usagi had suddenly seemed to have disappeared. As if they'd vanished into thin air. Zozu, still feeling uneasy, looked around and they were nowhere in sight. "Ash? Pikachu? May? Glaceon? Serenity? Usagi?" Zozu asked nervously.
Then she was suddenly tackled by Usagi who leapt right out of nowhere. Zozu was tackled straight to the ground. Queen Serenity, Ash, May, Pikachu and Glaceon were now laughing hard.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! That's very good. Ha, ha, ha…" Queen Serenity laughed.
Usagi got up and Zozu was completely stunned to the ground after being tackled. Then a male Gorgosaurus named Gorgon appeared and walked over to Zozu. Gorgon was a friend of Queen Serenity and her family. Queen Serenity first knew Gorgon from when she was a baby and Gorgon was a hatchling and they became very great friends. Gorgon was meant to be the Captain of the Guards when Queen Serenity became queen, but he realised that a Carnivore near the palace might scare the queen's children too much, so he nominated Ash and Pikachu instead. But Gorgon has protected the Queen and her family over the years since. And Gorgon was very useful in giving news that were related to dangerous situations.
"Zozu!" Gorgon said urgent.
"Yes, Gorgon?" Zozu asked.
"Ma'am news from the Western side of the kingdom!" Gorgon said.
"That was a splendid tackle, Usagi!" May beamed.
"I'll say it was!" Ash agreed,
"Now this time-" Queen Serenity started to say to Usagi.
"Sire! Gizumons and Hybrids! In the Moon Lands!" Zozu interrupted with urgency.
"They've started attacking the Zebra's Grazing Grounds and Cherrymon's Forest!" Gorgon said.
"Oh no!" Ash gasped. "We've gotta stop them!"
"Yes we must Ash!" May agreed.
"Zozu, take Usagi home! Ash, Pikachu, May, Glaceon, and Gorgon you come with me!" Queen Serenity said in a serious tone now.
"Aw, Mom, can't I come?" Usagi asked.
"No daughter!" Queen Serenity said curtly.
"But Mom-" Usagi started.
"Listen to your mother, Usagi!" Gorgon said. "She knows what's best for you!"
Then Queen Serenity, Ash, May, Pikachu, and Glaceon raced off with Gorgon running after them. Zozu and Usagi were left alone.
The young blonde ordango started walking back to the palace, sighed sadly and said. "Oh I never get to go anywhere."
"Oh young mistress, one day you'll be queen." Zozu said, as she and Usagi made their way back to the Royal Moon Palace. "Then you can chase those slobbering, smelly, stupid poachers from the crack of dawn until the dead of dusk."
An hour later, Louisa was pacing back and forth on an overhanging balcony structure back at the Royal Moon Palace minding her own business. While pacing, she kicks a bone of a Fish off the ledge and the bone falls straight down. Then Usagi appeared and ran up to Louisa being very excited.
"Hey Auntie Louisa! Guess what!" Usagi said.
The reason she calls Louisa her auntie was because Louisa was really an orphan at birth. When Queen Serenity found her when she was young. She and her were good friends because when Serenity promised Louisa she'd be queen one day. Which made Louisa as Usagi's auntie.
"I despise guessing games." Louisa said, paying no attention to Usagi. Ever since Usagi was born Louisa never, ever cared about her. Just because Usagi was now next in line to the throne instead of Louisa. She doesn't even want to call Usagi her 'niece'.
"I'm going to be queen of the Royal Moon Palace." Usagi said.
"Oh goody." Louisa sarcastically said.
"My mom just showed me the whole kingdom while on patrol with Ash and May." Usagi said, looking over the edge of the balcony. Louisa just rolled her eyes. "And I'm gonna rule it all one day! Heh, heh."
"Yes. Well… forgive me for not leaping for joy. I've got a bad back, you know." Louisa said, and flopped down on her belly.
"Hey Auntie Louisa?" Usagi wondered as she approached the black ordango. "When I'm queen what'll that make you?"
"An Australopithecus' auntie." Louisa responded.
"Heh, heh!" Usagi laughed and rolled to her side. "You're so funny and weird!"
"You have absolutely NO idea." Louisa said, as she got up and walked to the balcony's edge with Usagi following.
"So Ash, May and your mother showed you the entire kingdom, correct?" Louisa asked.
"Everything." Usagi said.
"She didn't show you the land that's across the river at the northern border?" Louisa wondered.
"Well no…" Usagi said as she sat down with a disappointed look on her face. "She said I can't ever go there."
"And she's absolutely right. It's far, far, far too dangerous." Louisa said leaning forward and then unleand back to centre. "Only the boldest, fearlessness and bravest creatures go there." Louisa said.
"Well I'm bold, fearless and brave! So what's out th-" Usagi started to ask.
"No, I'm terribly sorry Usagi, but I just can't tell you." Louisa interrupted her.
"But why not?" Usagi asked.
"Usagi, Usagi, Usagi, I'm only looking out for the well-being of my precious and favourite niece." Louisa said, while raising one hand and patting Usagi's head lovingly. But Louisa only pretended to be loving.
Usagi snorted sarcastically and said. "Yeah right, I'm your one and only niece."
"All the more reason for me to be protected of you." Louisa said, raising her hand. "After all, a Creature Burial Ground is no place for a princess… Oops!" Louisa said, on purpose pretending to be innocent.
"A Creature what?" Usagi asked. "Woah!"
"Oh dear, oh dear me, I've just said too much… Oh well I suppose you'd find out sooner or later with you being SO clever and all…" Louisa siad with fake dismay. Then using her arm she brought Usagi near her and said. "Oh, just do me one teeny, weeny little favor- promise me you'll never, ever visit that dreadful, terrible and awful place."
Usagi thought for a while and said, "No problem."
"There's a good lassy. You go run along, play and have fun. Oh and remember… it's our little secret." Louisa said.
Usagi then runs off, and Louisa begins to walk away with an evil look on her face. Her dark and wicked plan was now in motion. Everything was going according to plan.
Usagi was now running down the stairs to the bottom part of the Royal Moon Palace, looking for her best friend Mamoru Chiba. He and Usagi had known each other since they were still newborns and they had played with each other since they'd started growing. Mamoru was the only friend that was outside of the Royal Family, besides Gorgon, a friend to the family. She went into one of the outside areas and there were a lot of people there, mostly her family members, but also the Palace Cats Luna and Artemis. Some of her family members, including her father, had made friends with a few. Her father's friend was Setoku, a male with short green hair, who was actually the father of Mamoru.
She finally sees her friend with her father and his mother by a small fountain. Her father was busy talking to Mamoru's father, while Mamoru was being given a bath by a brown spiky haired man named Brock and May's little brother Max. Brock and Max weren't servants to Usagi's family, but since Ash and May were both part of the Palace Guards, Brock was promoted to be the King's right hand man, while Max was allowed to be a servant to Usagi's father. The two were very happy to be serving in the Royal Family and had been very helpful over the years.
"Hey Mamoru!" Usagi greeted her friend.
"Hi Usagi." Mamoru said, as Brock finished rinsing his hair in his bath.
"Come on, I've just heard about this really great place." Usagi said.
"Usagi! In case you didn't notice, I'm kind of in the middle of a bath!" Mamoru said as Brock washed him down.
Then Max was finished, getting Mamoru some fresh clothes, and all of a sudden walked up to Usagi, with shampoo in his hand. "And now it's time for yours Princess." Max said.
Usagi then suddenly tries to get away, but Max grabs her by her right wrist and pulls her back. Usagi might be a very energetic girl but Max is really strong considering he's actually younger than the princess. Max pulled Usagi to the second fountain, got her clothes off her without a problem, placed her in the water and held her there. He then proceeded to start pouring water on her head and squirted shampoo on her and then washed her down. He washed all the dirt and muck off her that she got from her tackling lesson, then he washed her hair. Usagi already doesn't like being washed and she really, really, really didn't like Max washing her hair.
"Dad!... Dad. Max's messing up my hair!" Usagi whined and complained.
Max, Usagi's father, and Mamoru's father all laughed at Usagi's comment.
Max finished rinsing Usagi's hair, took her out of the fountain, dried her off and helped her put her clothes back on. Usagi then shook her hair to get the water off and then redid her buns.
"Okay, okay I'm all clean! Can we go now?" Usagi asked.
"So where are we going?" Mamoru asked, as Brock finished helping him put his clothes on. "It'd better not be any place that's stupid or really dumb."
"No. It's really, really awesome and cool." Usagi said.
"So where is this 'really, really awesome and cool' place my Daughter?" King Atem asked.
Usagi had to think of something to tell her father. She didn't want to blurt out that they're going to the Creature Burial Ground without getting herself in trouble. So she decided to lie to her father.
"Oh… uh it's just around the water hole." Usagi lied.
"The water hole? What's so great about the water hole?" Mamoru asked.
"I'll SHOW you when we GET there." Usagi whispered to Mamoru so only he could hear her.
Mamoru then understood what Usagi's saying.
"Oh I get it." Mamoru whispered back.
Then he turned to his father and asked. "Uh… Dad, can I go with Usagi?"
"Hmmm… What do you think, Atem?" Setoku asked King Atem.
"Well…" King Atem said thinking about it.
"Pleeeaaase?" Usagi and Mamoru asked, through broad, forced grins and giving him the 'Puppy Dog' eyes.
"It's alright with me…" King Atem said.
Then Usagi and Mamoru were completely overjoyed as they jumped up and down in celebration.
"All right!" Mamoru cheered
"Yeah!" Usagi cheered.
But King Atem wasn't through talking yet. "...as long as Zozu goes with you two." King Atem finished.
As soon as the kids heard this, Usagi and Mamoru stopped dead in their celebration.
"No! Not Zozu!" Usagi groaned.
"Step lively!" Zozu said as she and the two young kids made their way to the water hole where a lot of Creatures were already there drinking, bathing or just swimming. "The sooner we get to the water hole, the sooner we can leave."
Usagi and Mamoru weren't too happy with Zozu going with them. With the Hornbill in their way Usagi couldn't take Mamoru to the Creature Burial Ground. Usagi hoped once they got to the water hole she could lead Mamoru to the Creature Burial Ground, and when they returned to the Royal Moon Palace they would say they'd been to the water hole. But now Usagi had to come up with a back-up plan B. Yet, Mamoru was curious about what Usagi wanted to show him, so Mamoru spoke to Usagi quietly so that Zozu couldn't hear them.
"So where exactly are we really going?" Mamoru asked quietly.
"A Creature Burial Ground." Usagi whispered.
"WOW!" Mamoru shouted.
"Sshh Zozu!" Usagi reminded Mamoru that Zozu could hear him.
"Oh right. So how are we gonna ditch the Dodo?" Mamoru asked.
Luckily Usagi had already thought of a back-up plan B on how to get rid of Zozu.
"Oh I know how we can-" Usagi whispered her plan.
Zozu was looking down on them as she thought they were getting all romantic on each other. She flew down and interrupted Usagi as she landed.
"Oh just look at you two." Zozu marvelled, as she landed in front of them. "You little seeds of romance are blossoming in the savannah. Your parents will be so thrilled…"
Usagi and Mamoru just rolled their eyes as they looked at each other. Why did Zozu have to comment on their friendship with each other?
"...What with you two being betrothed and all." Zozu ended.
Usagi and Mamoru were now puzzled by what Zozu said about being 'betrothed'. What was she going on about?
"Be-what?" Usagi asked, puzzled.
"Betrothed." Zozu answered, the princess. "Intended. Affianced."
Usagi and Mamoru both looked at each other. They were still very puzzled.
"Meaning…?" Mamoru asked.
"One day you two are going to be married to each other!" Zozu said, with excitement.
When Usagi and Mamoru heard the word 'married' they were both shocked and disgusted.
"Yuck!" Usagi cried, with a disgusted look.
"Eww!" Mamoru gasped, also with a disgusted look.
Usagi and Mamoru definitely didn't like the idea at all. Why would they get married to each other? They were only friends with each other.
"I can't marry him! He's my friend!" Usagi said.
"Yeah! It'd be so weird!" Mamoru added.
"Well so sorry to burst your bubble, but you two Luvdiscs have absolutely no choice. It's a sacred tradiction…" Zozu said. Then Usagi mimics Zozu's last words when Zozu said. "...going back generations in time."
"Well, when I'm queen that'll be the very first thing to go." Usagi said, smiling at Mamoru and winking at him.
"Not so long as I'm around." Zozu said.
"Well, in that case you're fired." Usagi said, stepping in front of Zozu.
"Hmm… very nice try, but unfortunately only the queen can do that!" Zozu said, as she poked Usagi's nose.
"Well technically she's the future queen." Mamosu said, coming by Usagi's side.
"Yeah, so that means you'll have to do what I tell you!" Usagi smirked, thumping Zozu's chest.
"Not yet I don't!" Zozu retorted, as Usagi and Mamoru started to walk away. "Oh and with an attitude like that, I'm afraid that you'll shape up to be a pretty pathetic queen indeed!"
"Hmph! Not the way I see it, Zozu!" Usagi said, as she looked back with a smile. Then she jumped at Zozu and started to sing.
When Usagi jumped at Zozu the colours changed around them as Usagi sang she walked towards Zozu who in turn backed up.
Usagi singing: I'm gonna be a mighty queen, so enemies beware
Zozu was then shot into a tree whole and got stuck, but she pulled herself out and she sang her verse.
Zozu singing: Well I've never seen a queen of beasts with quite so little hair
Zozu pulled a string of Usagi's hair out and Usagi felt the pain of it. Some Flying Type Pokemon called Starly were resting in front of a bush of leaves on a tree, when they suddenly scattered as Usagi poked her head out of it.
Usagi singing: I'm gonna be the main event like no queen was before
Then Usagi climbed up the tree to meet Zozu on the higher branch and she continued her song
Usagi singing: I'm brushing up on looking down, I'm working on my ROAR!
On the word "ROAR" she shouts at Zozu. The force of Usagi shouting made Zozu fall off the tree and landed in a mud puddle; then Zozu dried herself off with what appeared to be a towel by the puddle.
Zozu singing: Thus far a rather uninspiring scene
Then as Zozu dried her eyes the towel moved. It turned out that the 'towel' Zozu had used was actually the tail of a Diplodocus teenager, and the Sauropod's Mother didn't look very happy. She then whacked Zozu away using her tail like a golf club, sending her skipping like a stone across a lake where some Deinonychus were drinking. Usagi and Mamoru followed her as they ran; they skidded across the water while the Deinonychus scattered not in fear but in play.
Usagi singing: Oh, I just can't wait to be queen
"You've got rather a long, long way to go young mistress if you even think…" Zozu said as the kids appeared on opposite sides of her at the shallow end of the lake.
From that verse Zozu's makes quick spoken part replied on each line. Usagi and Mamoru were on each side of Zozu, as she talked to one of them the other one made funny faces at her.
Usagi singing: No one saying do this
Zozu speaking: Now when I said that, I-
Mamoru singing: No one saying be there
Zozu speaking: What I meant was…
Usagi singing: No one saying stop that
Zozu speaking: But what you don't realise…
Usagi and Mamoru singing: No one saying see here
Usagi and Mamoru then ran as Zozu was getting tired of being made fun of behind her back.
Zozu speaking: NOW SEE HERE!
Then suddenly Zozu was splashed by a pair of Phorusrhacos which were prehistoric flightless Birds. When Zozu looked to her right, she saw a pair of Dodrio running alongside the Phorusrhacos with Usagi and Mamoru on the Dodrio's backs.
Usagi singing: Free to run around all day
Zozu quickly got out of the water and took to the skies to catch up with the two kids.
Zozu speaking: Well, that's definitely out
Usagi singing: Free to do it all my way!
As Zozu flew the colours changed rapidly as she flew to get in front of the Phorusrachos and Dodrio. When she got in front of Usagi and Mamoru she started to speak to them, but she wasn't paying attention to where she was flying.
Zozu singing: I think it's time that you and I arranged a heart to heart
Then Zozu flies right into the rear end of a Rhino like Digimon called Rhinomon who was grazing in front of her. The Dodrios and Phorusrhacos arrived as Usagi and Mamoru found it funny, as the Flightless Bird Pokemon and the South American Terror Birds ran off.
Usagi singing: Queens don't need advice from little Hornbills for a start
Zozu fell off the Rhinomon and dizzily flew up and landed on what she thought was a tree branch. But she didn't know that she had landed on a log in the river by a waterfall.
Zozu singing: If this is where the monarchy is headed count me out!
Out of service, out of Millennia
I wouldn't hang about… AAGH!
Then it revealed to Zozu she had landed on a log that was being pulled to a waterfall. As it and she disappeared over the waterfall's edge. Zozu yelped in surprise, but quickly flapped her wings and reappeared flying back with an agitated look on her face.
Zozu singing: This child is getting wildly out of steam!
Then colourful patterns are shown as the patterns separate revealing themselves as Olorotitans and Saberleomons. As Usagi and Mamoru walked through the now corridor of Olorotitans on one side, and Saberleomons on the other.
Usagi singing: Oh, I just can't wait to be queen
Then Zozu came in following them. Upon seeing her the Olorotitans, and Saberleomons all turned around and raised their tails. As Zozu covered herself with one of her wings.
Then by a herd of Woolly Mammoths, Usagi and Mamoru were seen playing and dancing under the Cenozoic Mammals feet. As Zozu flew above the herd trying to spy the two kids as she flew down, some Lynxmons, Rhydons, Gogoats, Kentrosauruses, Quaesitosauruses and some other creatures were seen in the herd. As Zozu searched the herds by their feet she failed to see Usagi on the head of a Quasetiosaurus. As Usagi sang, the Quaesitosaurus turned its head to the left.
Usagi singing: Everybody look left
"AAAHHH!" Zozu squawked as she saw the herds coming and trampled her moving to the left.
Usagi singing: Everybody look right
The herds then trample Zozu once again while moving to the right.
Then Usagi's seen jumping on the heads of some Indricotheriums, like she's using them as stepping stones.
Usagi singing: Everywhere you look I'm…
Usagi then slid down the neck of a Seismosaurus into a theatrical pose as the spotlight shone on her.
Usagi singing: Standing in the spotlight!
"NOT YET!" Zozu yelled as she pushed in between the rear ends of a Toxodon and a Girafarig. But it only ended in her getting squished as the two creatures pushed her as she got squished in the middle of their rears,
Then Usagi is seen whispering something to a nearby Hippowdon, who whispers it to a nearby Apatosaurus, who then whispers it to a nearby Mankey.
Chorus singing: Let every Creature go for broke to sing and beam!
Then as Zozu started to dust herself off after somehow getting herself free from the Toxodon and Girafarig sandwich she was in the middle of. Some Mankeys came out of the trees, grabbed the female Hornbill and took her away against her will.
By the water of the lake some Deinosuchuses, Chasmatosauruses, and Deckerdramons sang and as they hit a vocal cord they opened their mouths were filled with tiny Birds and Pterosaurs like Alexornis, Microraptor and Dimorphodon all chirping.
Chorus singing: Let's hear it in the herd, on the wing and in the stream!
Zozu is seen getting tossed up by Vigeroths and Apemons. Then we see Usagi and Mamoru getting thrown into the sky by a circle of Saltasaurus, Nigersaurus, Amargasaurus, and Ampelosaurus and catching them. As they are tossed into the air Zozu is seen getting her head feathers groomed by some Lemurs with an Ambipom holding her in place. The Lemurs soon pulled out something yellow, what looked like a giant tick, out of Zozu's head feathers.
Chorus singing: It's gonna be queen Usagi's finest scene
The chorus of Creatures soon started to build as the Mammoths, Styracosauruses, Raidramons, Donphans, Tauros, Grizzlymons, Isisauruses, Heatmors, Dimetrodons, ect, formed a pyramid with the two kids sitting on the back of a Peckmon.
Usagi, Mamoru and the Chorus singing: Oh, I just can't wait to be queen!
Oh, I just can't wait to be queen!
Oh, I just can't waaaaaaait…
Suddenly the pyramid of Creatures started to shake as the tower began to fall. The pyramid of Carnivores, Herbivores and all Creatures alike fell. The Peckmon landed on top of some of the Heatmors, as one of the Servipers accidentally made two of the Isissauruses to clash their necks with each other, while one of the Mammoths landed rear first on one of the Styracosaurus' Horns causing it to trumpet in pain.
One of the Pokemon named Snorlax was heading for Zozu, and landed on her, she tried her best to hold up the Sleeping Pokemon, but the Snorlax was too heavy and Zozu ended up getting sat on.
Usagi, Mamoru and the Chorus: To be Queen!
Once the song finished the scene reveals to be on the savannah as some Pachyrhinosauruses and a pair of juvenile Camarasaurus all leave to go back to do their own business, as one of the Camarasurs stopped to eat some leaves from a conifer tree.
"I beg your pardon sir but…" Zozu groaned as her voice was now muffled from underneath the Snorlax. "GET OFF ME!" But the Snorlax didn't move so she decided to see if the two kids were there. "Usagi? Mamoru?" When she didn't get a reply she knew the two kids were gone.
Meanwhile near the northern border Luna and Artemis the palace pet Cats were patrolling making sure no enemies tried to invade the kingdom.
"You know Luna, I really like our little patrols along the border." Artemis said. "It makes my sense of adventure come to life."
"Me too Artemis, I always love spending time with you." Luna said. "We're so lucky that Queen Serenity allows us with this patrol."
As they talked and patrolled the duo of Moon Cats soon heard the sounds of voices and footsteps approaching them from up ahead.
"Hey Luna you hear that?" Artemis asked.
"I sure do Artemis." Luna replied.
The two looked over and saw Usagi and Mamoru chuckling and giggling to themselves.
Usagi and Mamoru soon arrived and they chuckled to themselves.
"Alright! It worked!" Usagi giggled, at the success of her plan.
"We lost her!" Mamoru cheered.
"I… am an absolute genius." Usagi boasted arrogantly.
"Hey, Genius, it was all my idea." Mamoru said.
"Yeah it was, but I pulled it off." Usagi said, raising her left hand to her chest.
"With me!" Mamoru said.
"Oh yeah?" Usagi said playfully.
Then she let out a playful roar-like cry and leapt at Mamoru and they both tousled around on the ground. Then it ended quickly when Mamoru ended up on top of Usagi and he pinned her down with his hands, producing a resounding thud.
"Ha. Pinned ya!" Mamoru laughed.
"Hey, lemme up!" Usagi groaned, annoyed.
Mamoru gets off her and walks away smiling. Usagi looked at him and jumped at him again. They began to tousle and turn as they rolled down a small hill laughing as they tumbled. Once they reached the bottom he pinned her down again in the same position with another thud.
"Pinned ya again!" Mamoru said.
"Usagi! Mamoru!"
The two looked up hearing their names and saw Luna and Artemis looking at them with eyes of suspicion.
"Luna! Artemis!" Usagi gasped. "What are you two doing here?"
"Patrolling like we do every day around this time!" Luna answered.
"But the bigger question is, what are you two doing here?" Artemis asked. "Don't you know you've just crossed the border of the Moon Lands?"
But before the two kids could answer Artemis, a nearby geyser let out a large load of boiling hot steam, catching the kids' attention. Usagi and Mamoru looked ahead and saw what looked like bones. Curious Usagi walked forward with a smile on her face as Mamoru followed her. As they walked they also noticed their surroundings had changed too and looked at the difference. They also didn't recognize the area they were now in. Instead of seeing bright green grass and fully lush trees, they only saw craggy dead trees and dried up grey soil. As they climbed up the hill they came face to face with skeletons of creatures all around them.
"This is it. We've made it!" Usagi cried.
They went over the bones of a dead Sauropod and looked over it and they could see the entire landscape was littered with hundreds if not thousands of Creature skeletons, some bones were huge and some were tiny.
"Whoa!" Usagi and Mamoru said in awe.
"It's really creepy here." Mamoru said.
"Yeah… isn't it great?" Usagi asked.
"We could get in really big trouble." Mamoru said, realising his naughtiness.
"I know huh?" Usagi replied, enjoying it as well.
Then they started heading into the Creature Burial Grounds.
"Come on Artemis!" Luna cried. "We've gotta go in there and get them out of there!"
"But Luna!" Artemis said. "If we go in we might never come back out alive!"
"What's more important, Artemis?" Luna yelled. "Our Princess or your life?"
"You're right, Luna!" Artemis said. "We've gotta get Usagi and Mamoru out!"
With that feeling their courage Luna and Artemis ran down the hill and into the Creature Burial Ground to get Usagi and Mamoru out.
As the two headed deeper, and deeper into the Burial Grounds, the place became more and more grimly and craggy as they moved on. Usagi had heard a lot of stories and legends about the Creature Burial Ground. All of which had been told by Kari. Kari once said that a giant herd of all sorts of creatures had tried to cross the bare land to reach the Moon Lands, but an earthquake struck and all the creatures fell into the abyss and died. Others of the herd had gotten lost in the fog and then trapped in the land of bones. It has been named the Creature Burial Ground ever since. Kari only said the grounds were just a legend, but now Usagi knew the place really existed.
Then she and Mamoru came across a massive skull of a Carnivorous Dinosaur called Giganotosaurus. Its mouth was so big, it made the small Prey look like appetisers for it.
"I wonder if its brains are still in there?" Mamoru wondered, as they looked at the skull.
"There's only one way to know." Usagi answered, with a smirk. "Come on. Let's go inside it and check it out." Usagi then walked up to it.
But then she was suddenly stopped in her tracks by Luna, Artemis and Zozu who had somehow gotten herself free from under the Snorlax that sat on her earlier leapt and flew in front of her.
"Wrong!" Zozu cried as she landed.
"That's as far as you go Princess!" Luna called.
"Can't you see this isn't our land?" Artemis cried. "Why are you even here with Mamoru Usagi?"
"Because I can show how brave I am by coming here and returning from this place alive!" Usagi boasted.
"Sorry Princess but the field trip's over!" Artemis said.
"Yes the only checking out you'll be doing will be the check out of here!" Zozu said, as she flew forward and lightly pushed Usagi away from the skull.
"Aw man." Usagi groaned.
"We're way beyond the boundary of the Moon Lands!" Zozu panicked.
"Huh. Look, Banana Beak is scared. Heh." Usagi mocked Zozu.
"It's Mrs. Banana Beak to you blondie!" Zozu retorted, while poking Usagi on the nose.
Usagi then walked past Zozu and the two Moon Cats.
"We must leave now!" Luna cried.
"This land has dangers far worse than sunburn!" Artemis added.
Usagi rolled her eyes as she kept walking as Zozu said. "And right now we are all in very, very real danger!"
Usagi began to move closer and closer to the entrance of the Giganotosaurus skull.
"Danger? Hah!" Usagi said as she turned around facing them as she laughed. "I walk on the wild side. I even laugh in the face of danger! Ha, ha, ha, ha!" Usagi laughed confidently at the sky.
Then suddenly following Usagi's confident laughter, unknown laughter was heard from inside the skull. Spooking Usagi, she ran back and hid behind Mamoru, Luna, Artemis and Zozu. Then three evil humans came out of the eyes and mouth of the skull. One of them was a man and the other two were women. The man had glasses and had olive green hair, he wore a tattered lab coat over his light green shirt, he wore grey trousers and brown shoes. The first woman wore glasses as well, but she had short lavender coloured hair and wore a dark crimson coloured secretary outfit with black high heels. The second woman was actually a Digimon called Ranamon which is a Human-Hybrid Digimon that looks like a cute frog-girl whose innocent exterior hides her malevolent personality. She possesses fish-like flippers on her head (which are her ears) and hips while her swimming cap and gauntlets resemble tadpoles. She may be beautiful and harmless on the outside, but on the inside, she has an evil side. She's naturally barefoot. The trio were villains and they were savages, unwilling and not wanting to follow the Queen's laws. Due to their savagery, they and a lot of other creatures and villains that refused to follow the Queen's laws were exiled to the outskirts of the kingdom.
The man then walked over to the kids, Moon Cats and Zozu, who appeared to be the leader.
"Well, well, well Matori. What oh what have we got here?" Asked the male leader.
"Hmm, I don't know Kurata. Uh… what do you think Ranamon?" Matori asked.
Ranamon only replied with crazy laughter. Apparently Ranamon appeared to be a mentally retarded Digimon. Soon all three approached the kids, Moon Cats and Zozu.
"Yeah, just what I was thinking. A quintette of trespassers!" Matori said.
"And quite by accident I assure you!" Zozu said feeling nervous of the villains, as Luna and Artemis started to lead Usagi and Mamoru away. "A simple navigational error. Eh heh, heh…" Zozu started to follow them in the attempt to leave, but Kurata stepped on her tail and stopped her.
"Whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait… I know who you are." Kurata said as he looked down on the Hornbill. "You're Serenity's little stooge."
"I sir, am the queen's majordomo." Zozu said, as she got her tail free from under his foot.
"And then that would make you…?" Matori asked, looking at Usagi.
"The future queen!" Usagi said.
"Oh, do you even know what we do to queens who step out of their kingdom?" Kurata asked, as the villain trio circled the group.
"Puh. You guys can't do anything to me!" Usagi said.
"Uhh… technically they can. We are on their land!" Zozu corrected her.
"But Zozu." Usagi said, Zozu knew what she was going to say and quickly waved her wings in different stop positions as an attempt to try to make Usagi not say it in front of the villains. But it was too late. "You told me they were nothing but slobbering, smelly stupid poachers."
"Ix-nay on the oopid-day..." Zozu said, surreptitiously to Usagi.
"Who are you calling 'oopid-stay?'!" Matori asked Zozu angrily.
"Uh-oh." Luna and Artemis said to themselves.
"Oh my, my, my. Oh look at the Sun! It's time to go!" Zozu said hurriedly. She and the Moon Cats start to lead Usagi and Mamoru away, but Kurata got in front of them and stops them.
"What's the hurry?" Kurata asked. "We'd love for you to stick around for dinner!"
"Yeah." Matori said. "We could have whatever's 'Cating around'!" Then she laughed.
"Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait! I got one! I got one!" Kurata laughed. "Make mine a 'buns sandwich'! Whatcha think?" He then laughed along with Matori.
While under uncontrollable laughter, Ranamon jumps up and starts gesticulating and jabbering. She was also pointing her hand one in a certain direction. Kurata then notices her behaviour.
"What Ranamon? What is it?" Kurata asked.
Matori then looks in the direction that Ranamon was pointing.
"Hey wait a minute. Did we order for this dinner to go?" Matori asked.
"No. Why?" Kurata asked.
"'Cause there it goes!" Matori yelled.
Kurata then sees the two kids, the Moon Cats and Zozu making a very quick and swift escape. As they ran and panted through the hills of bones, Zozu was suddenly grabbed by the tail by one of the villains. "Oohh!" She cried as she was pulled backwards.
Then Usagi, Mamoru and the two Moon Cats stopped for a moment and looked around them.
"Did we lose 'em?" Mamoru asked.
"I think so." Usagi replied. But then she noticed something or rather someone was missing.
"Where's Zozu?" Usagi asked.
"AAAHHH!!!" Zozu cried as she was with the villains. The baddies had taken Zozu back to their base, holding Zozu near a steam vent.
"And this little majordomo Bird went hippity-hopped all the way to the Birdie Boiler!" Matori said, as she 'walked' Zozu to the steam vent, Zozu tried to fly up at the last moment but Matori grabbed her midair and plugged her in the vent.
"OH NO! NOT THE BIRDIE BOILER!" Zozu cried. Then the vent erupted, shooting Zozu out of it like a rocket. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Zozu screamed as she was rocketed out of the Creature Burial Ground.
The villains laughed at it hysterically.
"Hey!" Yelled a voice.
They all looked up and saw Usagi, Mamoru and the Moon Cats looking down on them.
"Why don't you pick on somebody your own size?" Usagi asked.
"Like… you?" Kurata asked, with a grin.
"Oops." Usagi said, as she realised her mistake.
"Get them!" Matori yelled. Suddenly strange Dinosaurs and Digimon arrived and charged. The Digimon were called Gizumon, Digimon that Kurata created, along with the Hybrid Dinosaurs called Carnoraptors.
"RUN!" Luna and Artemis cried.
"AH!" Mamoru and Usagi screamed, as they just barely missed getting bitten by one of the Carnoraptors.
The kids and Moon Cats screamed as the villains chased them. Then the villains darted around behind them and poked their heads through an active steam vent.
"Boo!" Kurata, Matori and Ranamon yelled and laughed.
It terrified Usagi, Mamoru and the Moon Cats, as they quickly ran in a different direction, as the Carnoraptors gave chase. Usagi, Mamoru and the Moon Cats quickly climbed up a skull as a Carnoraptor followed, they made it up and just missed the Hybrid's jaws, but then they slid down the neck realising they were Sauropod skeleton.
"Yike!" They yelped. "Woah!" They cried as they slid and bumped down the bones of the Sauropod's spine. "AAAHHH!!!" They yelled as they slid off the end of the tail and flew through the air. "OOHHH!!" They gasped as they landed on a hill of bones and quickly climbed it. The villains saw them and gave chase.
Usagi and the Moon Cats made it to the top of the bone pile but before they could continue.
"USAGI!" Mamoru yelled.
Usagi, Luna and Artemis looked back and gasped. Mamoru was slipping down the bones and towards the villains.
"HELP!" Mamoru screamed as he slipped back down the pile towards the advancing villains.
"MAMORU!" Usagi yelled and ran back down the pile.
"USAGI NO!" Luna and Artemis cried in horror.
As Kurata was about to grab Mamoru by the legs, Usagi bravely ran up to him and scrammed his face with her sharp extended nails. (REMEMBER Usagi has the power of the Silver Crystal. So when Usagi saw Mamoru in danger the Silver Crystal inside her made her brave enough to rush down and save him by having her nails sharp and pointy) Kurata began enraged as he growled at the Princess for scramming his face.
Usagi quickly rejoined the others at the top of the pile and the kids and Moon Cats quickly continued to run through the burial grounds and then ran into a cave. Then before they knew it, they had run into a dead-end. They looked and saw a ledge above them and the skeleton of a Spinosaurus by the ledge. They quickly climbed on the skeleton and onto the back fin and they tried to reach the ledge. But they stepped on some old dried skin that was still on the skeleton, and as a result it broke under their weight and they fell to the floor.
"UH!" They groaned as they hit the ground. They were in very, very, very big trouble now.
"AH!" They gasped as the villains closed in on them, backing them against the wall.
"Look girls! A queen fit for a meal!" Kurata grinned. "Our meal!"
"Here girly, girly, girly!" Matori taunted Usagi and Mamoru.
"We're trapped!" Luna cried. "And about to become lunch!"
"Well it was nice knowing you Luna!" Artemis said.
Usagi then got in front of Mamoru and the Moon Cats protectively and roared at the villains. "Roar!" But her roar was a very weak and medium one.
"Oo-hoo… that was it?" Kurata taunted farther and laughed. The villains closed in on them as Kurata got cocky now. "Hah. Do it again… come on! I dare you!"
Usagi then opened her mouth to roar again, but this time the villains heard a full grown Dinosaur-like roar. "ROAR!"
"HUH?" Kurata, Matori, and Ranamon asked, confused.
"VELOCIRAPTORS ATTACK!" Yelled a voice, and suddenly 5 Velociraptors one having white feathers and the others had stripes pounced and attacked the Carnoraptors. The white feathered Velociraptor White-Tip was the leader of the other 4 Velociraptors called Charlie the green striped one, Echo the beige striped one, Delta the light brown striped one and Blue the blue striped one.
"PIKACHU THUNDERBOLT!"
"GLACEON USE ICE BEAM!"
Suddenly Ash, May, Pikachu and Glaceon appeared as they attacked the Gizumons, beating them and taking them by surprise.
Finally Queen Serenity came out of nowhere and knocked the three villains down to the ground. As she attacked Matori with a slap, Kurata tried to bite her back but Queen Serenity Horse-kicked him, sending him flying. As they continued to fight, Zozu flew in and landed by Usagi, Mamoru and the Moon Cats.
This carried on for a while until finally the Velociraptors, Ash, May and their Pokemon partners had made the Carnoraptors and Gizumons turn tail and run. Queen Serenity continued to knock the villains around until finally she had pinned all three down to the ground, growling as the three villains cringed at her in fear.
"Oh please, please! Auntie! Auntie!" Matori begged.
"Ow, ow, ow!" Kurata moaned.
"SILENCE!" Queen Serenity roared.
"You heard the Queen!" Ash yelled. "Be quiet!"
"And she means now!" May added furiously.
"Oh, we're gonna shut up right now!" Matori cried.
"Calm down! Hey, we're really sorry!" Kurata begged.
"You'd better be sorry!" White-Tip growled.
"If you ever, ever come near my Daughter again…" Queen Serenity threatened angrily.
"Oh this is… this is your daughter?" Kurata said.
"Yeah yours?" Matori gasped.
"Did you know that?" Kurata asked Matori.
"No… me? I-I-I didn't know that. No. Did you?" Matori asked Kurata.
"No! Of course not!" Kurata replied.
"No." Matori said.
Then they looked at Ranamon.
"Ranamon?" They both asked.
Ranamon nodded stupidly 'yes' which angered Blue and the rest of White-Tip's Pack.
"THEY ADMIT IT!" They screeched to the sky.
"ROAR!" Queen Serenity roared angrily.
The villains quickly realised how angry the Queen was.
"He, he. Tootles!" Matori waved and they then ran off.
Kurata, Matori and Ranamon whimpered as they ran awany as quickly as they could.
"AND DON'T YOU DARE COME NEAR PRINCESS USAGI AGAIN!" May yelled and threatened.
Zozu flies over and lands next to Queen Serenity and the others and gives them a 'that'll show 'em' nod… but she then withers under Queen Serenity's angry glare. Zozu then realised and knew that it was all her fault for not keeping a better watch of Usagi and she was responsible.
Usagi, Mamoru, Luna and Artemis quickly came out from under the Spinosaurus skeleton and went over to the others.
"Luna, Artemis." May said. "Are you guys alright?"
"Yes, May we're fine now." Artemis said. "Thanks to you."
"Ash it's my fault Artemis and I came here." Luna admitted. "I just wanted to stop Usagi and Mamoru before they got…"
"Luna." Ash said. "It's alright, what matters now is that you're safe."
"Pika, Pikachu!"
"Mom I…" Usagi started as she approached her mother.
"You deliberately disobeyed me!" Queen Serenity said, looking at her daughter angrily.
Usagi frowned and tried to think of something to say.
"Mom I- I'm sorry…" Usagi began.
"Let's go home now!" Queen Serenity sternly said.
Queen Serenity led the way with Zozu following her with an upset look on her face as she looked back at the Princess.
"Ash, how did you May, Pikachu, Glaceon, White-Tip and her Pack know we were in danger?" Luna asked.
"You two always come back to the Royal Moon Palace before sunset." May said. "When you two didn't come back we knew something was wrong."
"My pack and I had just come back from a hunt when Zozu landed in the puddle in front of us." White-Tip explained. "She told us that you two, Mamoru and Usagi were in trouble so while we went with Ash, May, Pikachu and Glaceon to the Burial Ground, Zozu went to get Queen Serenity."
"Well I'm just glad we're alright." Artemis said. "Let's get out of this place!"
With that Ash, May, Pikachu, Glaceon, White-Tip, her Pack and the two Moon Cats followed Zozu and Queen Serenity as they all made their way out of the Creature Burial Ground, with the kids at the back, looking down at the ground in shame.
"I thought you were very brave Usagi." Mamoru whispered to Usagi. "You had a lot of courage to race back down a hill of bones to scram your nails at a villain and save my life and roar at a gang of bullies."
Although Mamoru really meant what he said, Usagi didn't feel brave at all. As they all left the cave, they were unaware that Louisa was watching them from above out of sight, standing on the ledge where he'd been watching the kids' near-demise. And she was hoping for it to be their end, but seeing that her sister, Ash, May, Pikachu, Glaceon, White-Tip and her Pack come to the rescue just in time, she had to come up with a new plan.
As nighttime approached and the stars started appearing in the sky, Queen Serenity, Zozu, Luna, Artemis, Ash, May, Pikachu, Glaceon, White-Tip, her Pack-Mates, and Mamoru and Usagi were walking through the grasslands as the sunset's light begins to disappear. With the kids they were walking at the back of the group in a shameful manner. Zozu looked back at them with sympathy in her eyes as did Luna and Artemis, when Queen Serenity stopped all of a sudden.
"Zozu!" Queen Serenity said sternly.
Zozu quickly turns her head, flies forward and lands in front of Queen Serenity but with her trepidation showing.
"Yes Sire?" Zozu asked nervously.
"Have Pikachu and Glaceon take Luna and Artemis back to the palace. I don't want them missing their supper." Queen Serenity said.
"You heard her Pikachu." Ash said.
"You too Glaceon." May said.
Pikachu and Glaceon then started the journey back to the Royal Moon Palace with Luna and Artemis following them.
"White-Tip I thank you and your pack for your help." Queen Serenity said gratefully to the Velociraptor. "But now you may go home."
"Anything for you my Queen." White-Tip bowed. With that White-Tip and her Pack left to go back to their nests.
"What about me and Ash Majesty?" May asked.
"Take Mamoru home. I've got to teach my Daughter a lesson." Queen Serenity said sternly.
As she heard that, Usagi crouched down lower in the grass as she was trying to hide. She knew what was going to happen next.
"Don't be too hard on her Majesty." Ash said.
Zozu then flew back over to the kids.
"Come, Mamoru. Usagi…" Zozu said as she turned to Usagi, placed her wings on her shoulders, gave a heavy sigh, and then a reassuring pat. "Good luck."
"We'll see you later, Usagi." May said, as she and Ash left with Zozu and Mamoru as Mamoru looked back giving his friend a reassuring look, before turning back to follow Zozu.
Usagi watched them go as she was now really nervous.
"USAGI!" Queen Serenity called Usagi very sternly and didn't look at her.
Usagi slowly turns and walks over to her mother. Usagi steps in depression, guilt and worry, as she walks and steps on something. Looking down she sees that her left foot just fits inside of her mother's right foot. An extremely intense moment for Usagi. It came across that her mother could easily do much, much, much more than just discipline Usagi. It also came across Usagi that she had some rather big shoes to fill, so to speak, and is now only realising it. Usagi is harshly reminded of how small and young she is compared to her mother. She looked up, and quite courageously continued to come forward. Soon she approached her mother's side and sat down next to her.
Queen Serenity thinks silently for just a few moments not looking at her daughter. Then finally she turns to her.
"Usagi, I am very, very disappointed in you." Queen Serenity said.
"I know." Usagi said quietly and sadly.
"You could've been killed. You deliberately disobeyed me! And what's even worse you put Luna, Artemis and Mamoru in danger too!" Queen Serenity continued.
"I… I was only just trying to be brave like you Mom." Usagi said, bordering on crying as her voice cracked.
"I'm only brave when I have to be when there's no other choice." Queen Serenity said being more calm now. "Usagi… listen, being brave doesn't mean that you go looking for trouble, because trouble will always find you."
"But you're not scared of anything Mom." Usagi said. "Nothing ever scares you."
"I was scared today." Queen Serenity admitted.
"You… you were?" Usagi asked, disbelieving.
"Yes…" Queen Serenity said, as she bends down closer to her daughter. "I thought that I might lose you Usagi."
"Oh. I guess that even queens can get scared too, huh?" Usagi asked, lightening up slightly.
"Mm-hmm, more than you could ever know." Queen Serenity said.
"But do you wanna know what?" Usagi asked.
"What Usagi?" Queen Serenity asked.
"I bet those villains, Hybrids, and Gizumons were even scareder when you Ash, May, Pikachu, Glaceon, White-Tip, Charlie, Echo, Delta and Blue showed up." Usagi answered.
Queen Serenity gently laughed and said. "That's 'cause nobody ever messes with your mom. Come here you!" Then she playfully pulls Usagi into a noogie and gives her one. Usagi then tries to get free at last she did and tackled her mother to the ground,
"Oh no, no, no! Ah!" Usagi groaned as she got free and tackled her mother.
The two were soon chuckling and laughing as the moon shone down on them as they chased each other across the grassland.
"Oh come here…" Usagi said as she chased her mom. Queen Serenity stopped and looked back at her daughter.
"I gotcha!" Usagi said as she pounded on her mother.
It ended up with Queen Serenity lying down on her tummy and Usagi on her back, as she rested on her mother's head she then wondered.
"Mom?" Usagi asked.
"Hmm?" Queen Serenity wondered.
"We're pals right?" Usagi asked.
"Right." Queen Serenity said with a gentle chuckle.
"And we'll always be together, right?" Usagi asked.
Queen Serenity then lifts herself up as Usagi slides on her back and she looks at her.
"Usagi let me tell you something that my mother once told me…" Queen Serenity said and then looked up at the night sky. "Look up at the stars. The great queens of the past look down on us from those stars."
"Really?" Usagi asked, looking up at the night sky in awe.
"Yes…" Queen Serenity said. "So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those queens will always be there to guide you… And so will I."
With that the mother and daughter continued to look at the beautiful night sky and see all the constellations.
Meanwhile back at the Creature Burial Ground, at the villains cave by some steam vents, the trio of villains were extremely sore after being knocked about by Queen Serenity. Kurata was just standing on a ledge, while Matori and Ranamon were sitting on the ground. Ranamon was busy chewing on an old bone while Matori groaned in pain. She had been Horse-kicked by Queen Serenity in the stomach and had been huffing at it for a while, and now her butt showed a blackish-blue bruise as big as a baseball.
"Man that lousy Serenity." Matori groaned. "I won't be able to sit for an entire week."
Ranamon only responded with laughter.
"It's not funny Ranamon." Matori said.
Ranamon tried to stop herself laughing, but she burst out even worse.
"Hey shut up now!" Matori said, now getting annoyed.
But Ranamon didn't stop laughing. Matori growled and then she couldn't take it anymore and tackled Ranamon. Both of them started Mad Dog fighting as they bit and scratched each other. Kurata noticed them fighting and became annoyed as well. He wondered how and why he got stuck with these morons. He was the only smart one in the gang.
"Will you two knock it off already?!" Kurata yelled.
Matori stopped, but Ranamon continued only to start biting herself at her own leg.
"Well she started it, not me!" Matori grumbled.
"Look at you gals!" Kurata said, as he made his way down to them. "No wonder why we're really dangling at the very bottom of the food chain."
"Um, actually we're not on the bottom." Matori said. "We're only in between the Velociraptors and the Deinonychus."
"Oh shut up!" Kurata said, as he got to the bottom.
"What? I'm just saying." Matori groaned.
"We've gotta do something about this!" Kurata said.
"What's that?" Matori asked. "We'll never, ever get past the Carnivore Guards! They'll just tear our Creatures to shreds."
"Dang it!" Kurata cursed. "Just forget I said that!"
"I hate the good Carnivores on Serenity's side!" Matori complained.
"Yeah." Kurata agreed. "You know if it weren't for those ordangos we'd be the ones running the joint!"
"And man I hate ordangos!" Matori said.
"So pushy." Kurata said.
"And hairy." Matori said.
"And stinky." Kurata added.
"And man, oh man are they…" Matori said.
"UuuuugLY!" They both finished.
Then Ranamon joined them in the laughter of hysterics.
Until someone said. "Oh, I'm hurt."
The trio of villains immediately stopped fearing it was Queen Serenity.
"Surely we ordangos are not all that bad."
Taken by complete surprise, they looked up and saw Louisa lying on her stomach on a ledge looking down on them, as smoke from the vents flushed up revealing her.
"Oh!" Kurata sighed.
"Oh Louisa it's just you." Matori said in relief.
"Yeah, we were afraid it was somebody very important." Kurata said.
"Yeah, you know, like Serenity." Matori added.
"Yeah." Kurata said.
"I see." Louisa said, turning her head to the right.
"Now that's power." Matori said.
"Tell me about it." Kurata said. "I just hear that name and I shudder."
"Serenity." Matori said.
"Oooohhhh…" Kurata said, while shuddering. "Do it again."
"Serenity!" Matori said again.
"Oooohhhh!" Kurata shuddered again.
"Serenity, Serenity, Serenity!" Matori said.
As Ranamon rolled on her back laughing.
"...Oooh! It tingles me!" Kurata said, with hysterical laughter.
"I'm surrounded by idiots." Louisa said, while raising her right hand to her face.
"Not you Louisa." Matori said. "I mean you're one of us. I mean you're our pal."
"Charmed I'm sure." Louisa said, sarcastically while looking away.
"Ohh, I like that." Kurata said. "She's not queen, but she's still so proper."
"Yeah. Hey, hey. Did ya bring us anything to eat Louisa?" Matori asked. "Old buddy? Old pal? Old friend? Huh? Did-ya-did-ya-did-ya?"
"I don't think you three really do deserve this…" Louisa said, while holding a big leg from an Archaeonithomimus. The three villains immediately started licking their lips and had their tongues out. "...I practically gift-wrapped those kids for you. And you couldn't even dispose of them or those Moon Cats." Then she lets go of the Archaeornithomimus Leg and it drops down to the villains.
The villains immediately started digging into their food, tearing off as much meat as they could and feasted upon it. Ranamon ate with her mouth open as Kurata raised his head from his meal.
"Well ya know." Kurata said, with his mouth full. "It wasn't exactly like they were alone, Louisa."
"Yeah." Matori said, with her mouth full and raised her head. "What were we supposed to do-" As Kurata went back to feasting, Matori chewed and swallowed her mouthful and asked. "Kill Serenity?"
"Preciously." Louisa said, with an evil smile on her face.
The villain trio paused their eating and looked up at her in confusion and questioning. Then Louisa jumps from pillar to pillar from the ledge and down to them. The trio quickly sprinted away with Ranamon grabbing the bone. As Louisa walked forward the vents erupted steam out of them, and she began to sing.
Louisa singing: I know that your powers of retention
Louisa began to pace around Ranamon as she was still chewing on the bone.
Louisa singing: Are as wet as a Togomon's backside
Seeing Ranamon wasn't listening she slightly got annoyed. She then whacked the bone away with her hand and Ranamon saluted.
Louisa singing: But thick as you are, pay attention!
Ranamon was now standing at attention as Louisa walked around her.
Louisa singing: My words are a matter of pride
It's clear from your vacant expressions
Louisa then waved her hand in front of Ranamon's face and blank eyes to make her point clear.
Louisa singing: The lights are not all on upstairs
Ranamon's tongue lolls out and she becomes cook-eyed.
Louisa singing: But we're talking queens and successions
Kurata and Matori were laughing on an edge behind her. Louisa heard them and sang her next line.
Louisa singing: Even you can't be caught unawares
On the word 'you' Louisa leaps in front of them causing them to fall backwards and land bottom first into a pair of geysers. Louisa then went off as the geysers erupted sending the two villains into the air.
"Oh!/Wah!" Matori & Kurata cried, as they were hurled into the sky.
On her next verse Louisa was standing on a ledge as she jumped to another nearby ledge, Matori and Kurata came screaming down falling behind her.
Louisa singing: So prepare for a chance of a lifetime
"AH!" Matori and Kurata screamed as they fell.
Louisa then walked along the ledge and disappeared around the corner, but then came back out as she flipped her hair and sang.
Louisa singing: Be prepared for sensational news
Louisa then made her way along the cliff and she tiptoed as she walked, Kurata who was behind a corner saw what she was doing, also wondered what role he and his gang had.
Louisa singing: A shining new era
Is tiptoeing nearer
Kurata then came out of his corner and then sang.
Kurata singing: And where do we feature?
Louisa then pulled Kurata by his right cheek forward, like a teacher pulling a bad student in for detention.
Louisa singing: Just listen to teacher
Louisa let go of his cheek and walked on. Kurata just stared as he rubbed his now sore cheek with his hand.
Louisa singing: I know it sounds sordid
But you'll all be rewarded
Louisa made her way to where Ranamon was now chewing on the same bone she had whacked away before.
Louisa singing: When at last I am given my dues
Louisa then jumped behind Ranamon as she chewed the bone, she then got her left leg ready to kick the Digimon off the ledge.
Louisa singing: And injustice deliciously squared
Louisa then kicked Ranamon off the ledge. "Dah!" She cried as she flew off and crashed into a pile of old bones.
Louisa singing: Be Prepared!
"Yeah, be prepared!" Matori said, as all three villains emerged from the bones, each having the skull of a Carnivore on their heads. "Yeah-heh… we'll definitely be prepared, heh... Uh, be prepared for what exactly?"
"For the death of the queen!" Louisa declared grandly.
"Why? Is she sick?" Matori asked, when she reached the top of the ledge.
Louisa, being annoyed, grabbed her by the throat and pulled her close to her face.
"No, you fool- we're gonna kill her. And Usagi too." Louisa grinned, and she let go of Matori.
Matori landed on her but on some bones with Kurata and Ranamon standing there.
"Great idea! Who needs a queen?" Kurata asked.
"No queen! No queen! La-la-la-la-laa-laa-laa!" Kurata and Matori sang, as he and Ranamon danced around her.
"IDIOTS!" Louisa yelled down at them. "THERE WILL BE A QUEEN!"
"Hey but you just said-" Matori said nervously.
"I WILL BE QUEEN!" Louisa said, with a toothy triumphant grin, as the cave colours changed from green to yellow. "...Stick with me and you'll never, ever go hungry ever again!"
"Yaay! Alright! Long live the Queen!" Kurata and Matori cheered.
Then more villains, Hybrids both Herbivores and Carnivores, Evil Digimon, and other Creatures that were banished from Queen Serenity's Kingdom.
"Long live the Queen! Long live the Queen!" The Burial Ground Creatures cheered.
Then Louisa's new Army of villains, Herbivore and Carnivore Hybrids, Evil Digimon and others began Goose-stomping across the floor of the cave, now stylised into a Nazi-esque quadrangle. They began to sing in a tight, crisp phrasing and diction as Louisa watched from her ledge.
Burial Ground Creatures singing: It's great that we'll soon be connected
With a queen who'll be all-time adored
Louisa then looked at her new army with evil eyes. As she took her right hand and ran it across her throat.
Louisa singing: Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected
To take certain duties on board
She sang her next verse as her Army looked at her.
Louisa singing: The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee
The point that I must emphasise is
She then jumped down from her ledge towards a helpless Troopmon as the colours of the cave changed from yellow to red, and the ground opened up.
Louisa singing: YOU WON'T GET A SNIFF WITHOUT ME!
That very same Troopmon slipped and fell into the fiery crevine. As the rocks began to push upward as she sang.
Louisa singing: So prepare for the coup of the century
Burial Ground Creatures singing: (Ooohhh!)
Louisa singing: Be prepared for the murkiest scam
Burial Ground Creatures singing: (Scam, scam, scam!)
As Louisa's pillar rose higher her new Army danced as she passed them as they danced around boisterously.
Louisa singing: Meticulous planning
Burial Ground Creatures singing: (We'll have food!)
Louisa singing: Tenacity spanning
Burial Ground Creatures singing: (Lots of food!)
Louisa singing: Decades of denial
Burial Ground Creatures singing: (We repeat!)
Louisa singing: Is simply why I'll
Burial Ground Creatures singing: (Endless meat!)
Soon Louisa's pillar had made her rise as high as she was now up to the moonlight, but not quite as high as space, but it was still very high.
Louisa singing: Be queen undisputed
Respected, saluted
And seen for the wonder I am
Some Indoraptors are shown shaking the skeletons of small Creatures in the light around like ragdolls.
Louisa singing: Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
Be Prepared!
The Burial Ground Creatures are then seen jumping from pillars and rock formations dancing around, as one of them is shown playing a skeleton's ribcage like a xylophone. As Kurata, Matori and Ranamon are shown through red smoke from the steam vents.
Louisa & the Burial Ground Creatures singing: Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be Prepared!
Then as we zoom out we see Louisa and all the Burial Ground Creatures laughing evilly throughout the entire night as the murderous plan of Louisa started to begin.
The next day, Louisa had now taken Usagi to a large canyon for something she called a 'big surprise'. The clouds shadows loomed across the landscape under the burning Sun. Deep inside the canyon's gorge, Louisa and Usagi had arrived near a rock under the shade of a small tree. So far things were going perfectly for Louisa. She had managed to get Usagi all the way out here without the company of any of the Royal Guards. And they were all alone, and soon Usagi would be the only one out alone.
"Now you wait right here." Louisa said, pointing to the rock. "Your mother has a marvellous surprise for you."
Usagi was already excited when she heard this.
"Oooh. What is it?" Usagi asked as she sat on the rock.
"If I told you, then it wouldn't be a surprise now would it?" Louisa said.
"If you tell me, then I'll still act surprised." Usagi said.
"Ho, ho, ho." Louisa chuckled. "You are such a naughty girl."
"Come on Auntie Louisa." Usagi begged, as she put her hands to Louisa's side.
"No-no-no-no-no-no." Louisa said with a dismissive attitude. "This is just for you and your mommy. You know, a sort of… mother-daughter… thing."
All through Usagi's expression, she resents Louisa's dismissive attitude, but soon shrugs it off.
"Well I'd better go get her." Louisa said, as she started to walk off.
"I'll go with you!" Usagi said, getting to her feet and started to follow her.
"NO!" Louisa said, turning back at her with a snappy tone. Then she realised what she's doing and regained her composure. "Heh, heh, heh. No. Just stay on this rock." Louisa said as she nudged Usagi back on it. Usagi sat on the rock with a sad look as Louisa continued. "You wouldn't want to end up in another mess like you did with villains…"
Usagi looked shocked when Louisa mentioned the incident with the villains from yesterday.
"How'd you know about that?" Usagi asked, feeling shocked.
"Usagi, everybody knows about that." Louisa said.
"Really?" Usagi asked, feeling meeked and embarrassed.
"Oh yes. Lucky thing Mommy, Ash, May, Pikachu, Glaceon, White-Tip and her Pack-mates were there to save you, eh?" Louisa said, who was clearly enjoying herself. Then she brings herself close to Usagi. "Oh… and just between the two of us, you might want to work on that little roar of yours. Hmm?"
"Oh… Okay…" Usagi said. Louisa nudged her as she started to walk away.
"Hey Auntie Louisa?" Usagi asked, as Louisa stopped to hear what her 'niece' had to ask. "Will I really like the surprise?"
Louisa turned her head as she answered her. "Usagi, it's to DIE for!" Then Louisa finally walked away leaving Usagi all alone in the gorge.
Unaware of the real danger that was actually gonna happen next, Usagi just stayed there minding her own business. Usagi then started pacing back and forth on the rock waiting for the surprise to come, and she wondered what kind of surprise it was. But what she didn't know was that she was in real danger.
Further up the canyon in the meadow by the canyon entrance a very, very, very large herd of Maiasauras, Tsintaosauruses, Sinoceratopses, Centrosauruses, Homalocephales, Dracorexes, Ornithomimuses, Mamenchisauruses and Ankylosauruses were grazing on some bushes, trees and shrubs by the gorge. Males were on watch as the hatchlings and young ones were playing around by chasing each other. A group of Velociraptors and a pair of Giganotosauruses were also nearby watching for enemies.
But as the herds grazed they were unaware that they were being watched by a group of villains hiding in the shadows waiting for the signal from Louisa. With the group made of some MadLeomons, Stegoceratopses, Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite and Malachite are the same villains from yesterday, Kurata, Matori and Ranamon.
The three baddies were waiting off the very edge of the herds, hiding under a rock arch. They tried their very best to be quiet but Matori's tummy was growling as loud as a Thylacoleo that the Maiasaura, Tsintaosaurus, Sinoceratops, Centrosaurus, Homalocephale, Dracorex, Ornithomimus, Mamenchisaurus and Ankylosaurus herds could hear her, as did the Velociraptors and Giganotosauruses.
"Shut up now!" Kurata whispered.
"I can't help it. I'm just so hungry…" Matori whispered. Then she jumped to her feet. "I've just gotta have a Dinosaur!"
"Stay put!" Kurata whispered.
"Oh… can't I at least just go pick off one of the little sick ones?" Matori whispered.
"No you fool!" Jadeite said, while keeping his voice down. "We'll soon be having all the food we want once we're done with the bunheads."
"No!" Kurata whispered to Matori. "We wait for the signal from Louisa."
Then they all see Louisa walking on top of a large rock high above in view of the villains.
"Speak the devil's name and she appears." Malachite said quietly.
"There she is." Kurata said.
Louisa looked at them and gave them a slight nod.
"That's the signal." One of the MadLeomons said.
"Let's go." Kurata said to his comrades. With that the plan was set in motion.
The MadLeomons and the Stegoceratopses then charged towards the path that led to the waterhole. The Raptors and the Giganotosauruses saw them and quickly chased after them, alerting other Carnivores on the way about the waterhole being in danger.
"Well let's get to it." Zoisite said, as they advanced towards the herds.
Back to where Usagi was left all alone, she is now lying on the rock, thinking about what Louisa said about her little roar. Usagi felt somewhat annoyed that her roar was so little. Usagi knows that she can make a perfect roar. If she roars at an enemy, she knows she can scare and chase them off.
"Little roar. Pah!" Usagi said to herself.
Then she sees a baby Kecleon walking past her very, very slowly at a time. Then Usagi thought of something. What if she could scare the Colour Swap Pokémon? She followed it and growled at it.
"Growl!" Usagi growled.
The Kecleon had no reaction to her first attempt, in fact it just walked by like Usagi wasn't even there. Usagi then jumped to her feet, got off the rock and jumped at it and tried again.
"GROWL!" Usagi growled louder this time. She roared louder than before.
But once again the Colour Swap Pokémon still had no reaction to her roar. For her third attempt, Usagi moved closer again, right behind the Kecleon this time. She took a deep inhale and she roared.
"ROAR!" Usagi roared, very loudly.
This time her roar scared the Kecleon and it skittered away as fast as it could. Usagi's roar echoed all throughout the entire gorge, loud enough that even the entire kingdom could hear it. Usagi listened to the sound of her echo, kind of glad that she was able to make a loud roar.
"I did it." Usagi said.
The echo soon faded away and was eclipsed, however, by a low rumble. Usagi then heard the rumble coming from somewhere. Then she feels the ground shaking at her feet. Usagi looked down and saw the pebbles were jumping by the rumble. Usagi then hears the rumble getting louder and louder by the second. Then she turns and sees a large cloud of dust coming from the far side of the canyon. Then she sees the Maiasaura, Tsintaosaurus, Sinoceratops, Centrosaurus, Homalocephale, Dracorex, Ornithomimus, Mamenchisaurus and Ankylosaurus herds coming right at her, which we begin to see the terrified look on Usagi's face.
"Hah!" Usagi gasped.
The herds started getting closer to the princess. Without thinking of anything else, Usagi took off in front of the stampeding herds. As we see the top of the canyon the herds were entering the canyon through the gorge and they were running in total fear. As Usagi ran she began to think that her own roar might've done this.
"Oh no!" Usagi thought as she ran. "They must've heard my roar and it must've spooked them! What have I done?" Usagi knew saying 'sorry' wouldn't help as the herds were too scared to listen. So she knew she had to keep running as the herds continued in their panicked straight.
As more and more kept coming out into the canyon, at the back of the herds, we saw the villains including Kurata, Matori and Ranamon. The herds were really running in fear because the villains were after their young. They continued to chase the herds, nipping at their heels to get them running until the last ones ran into the canyon. Then they stopped and looked on at the stampede they'd created, for Louisa's plan to work as the herds ran off.
Usagi kept running as fast as she could, but the herds were much bigger and faster than her and they were starting to catch up with her.
At the same time this happened, Zozu and Queen Serenity were patrolling the area alone, when Zozu spotted something in the distance. They were only a short distance away from the canyon, when Zozu saw a large cloud of dust coming out of the gorge. Then Zozu remembered that the herds of Maiasaura, Tsintaosaurus, Sinoceratops, Centrosaurus, Homalocephale, Dracorex, Ornithomimus, Mamenchisaurus and Ankylosaurus were there earlier.
"Oh look Sire." Zozu said, getting the Queen's attention. "The Maiasaura, Tsintaosaurus, Sinoceratops, Centrosaurus, Homalocephale, Dracorex, Ornithomimus, Mamenchisaurus and Ankylosaurus herds are on the move."
"That's odd…" Queen Serenity said, as she noticed it too.
She then thinks it's quite strange and unusual for the herds to act like this.
Then Louisa appears running up to them. "Serenity!" Louisa said, but she pretends to be out of breath, and in a state of panic. "Quickly! Stampede! Down in the gorge!" Queen Serenity then turned to her sister as she finished her sentence. "Usagi's down there!"
"Usagi?!" Queen Serenity asked, in shock.
Back with Usagi she was still running in front of the stampeding herds. But the herds were starting to catch up.
"Oh!" Usagi cried, seeing the herds starting to pass her.
She looked around frantically trying to find a way to get herself out of her problem. That's when she spotted an old rotting dead tree in front of her. Usagi quickly climbed the tree as it bent forward.
"Uh! Oh! Wha! Ah!" Usagi cried, as she climbed and held onto a branch as best she could. Since her nails weren't as sharp as Luna and Artemis' claws she had to wrap her arms and legs around the tree branch and then hold on for dear life.
Outside the canyon Queen Serenity and Louisa runned as fast as they could towards the canyon, as Zozu flew ahead of them and dove down into the canyon. She flew above the stampeding herds and looked around frantically for Usagi, until she finally saw Usagi clinging precariously to the tree branch. Zozu saw her and quickly flew over to her.
"ZOZU! HELP ME!" Usagi cried, as the stamping feet of the herds made the branch shake, causing Usagi's grip to loosen.
"Your Mother's on the way!" Zozu said, as she then quickly flew off to tell the Queen. "Hold on!"
"HURRY!" Usagi yelled, as she was now losing her grip.
Queen Serenity and Louisa quickly slid down to the lower ledges of the gorge and looked around frantically for Usagi. Zozu flew back to Queen Serenity and pointed to where Usagi was.
"There! There!" Zozu cried, pointing to where Usagi was. "She's on that tree!"
Queen Serenity then saw Usagi still trying to cling onto the tree branch of the dead tree.
"HOLD ON USAGI!" Queen Serenity yelled.
Then there was trouble, in the gully one of the Sinoceratopses rammed the tree Usagi's on, nearly breaking it with a 'SNAP!'
Usagi, who was now very scared, cried out for her mother. "AAAAHHHH! MOM!" Usagi screamed, trying to hang on.
Queen Serenity then jumped down the ledges towards the herds, preparing to join the stampede. Then she jumped into the stampede and ran with the herds in order to get to her daughter. While Louisa and Zozu were alone on the lower ledges and watched. Zozu started to panic.
"Oh Louisa this is awful!" Zozu panicked. "What'll we do?! What'll we do?!"
"Calm yourself Zozu!" Louisa said, pretending to be noble. "I'll help my sister and niece! You go back to the Royal Moon Palace and get Captain Ash and the Royal Guards!"
"Hah. I'll go back for help!" Zozu realised. "That's what I'll do! I'll go back for he-"
"Just go!" Louisa said, as she hit Zozu with her arm.
Zozu was sent flying into the wall, but she wasn't knocked out cold. Zozu quickly flew off as fast as she could back to the Royal Moon Palace to get help. Now that Zozu had left there was nothing that could stop Louisa from completing her plan.
"Soon I'll be the Queen of the Moon Lands!" Louisa thought. "Now for phase 3." With that she walked along the lip of the gorge, to follow Queen Serenity's progress.
Queen Serenity continued to run along with the stampede until she slightly passed the tree, where Usagi was still hanging on. Seeing her error, she quickly and carefully timed her chance and whipped around the front of some of the Dinosaurs and ran in the opposite direction towards Usagi's tree. But she got rammed by one of the Ornithomimuses head-first, making her stumble and throwing her to the ground in pain.
"Ooohhh!" Queen Serenity groaned as she rolled backwards a few inches.
She then regains her vision and sees Usagi's tree and something shocking was heading for the tree. A Centrosaurus then struck Usagi's tree with its long horn, finally snapping it, and sending Usagi into the air.
"AH!" Usagi cried, as she flew and was now falling towards the stampede.
Queen Serenity quickly got up to her feet, jumped into the air and caught Usagi in her arms.
"Uh!" Queen Serenity grunted, as she caught her daughter.
"Woah!" Usagi gasped, as her mother grabbed her.
"Hold onto me tightly my Daughter!" Queen Serenity cried.
Usagi did hold on like her mother said, as Queen Serenity landed and then made her way to try and find a way to get them out of the stampede. All the while Louisa continued to follow them on the lip of the gorge, hoping for the stampede to trample them to death. As Queen Serenity ran she got hit this time by one of the Maiasauras, as she screamed in pain, and Usagi fell out of her mother's arms and to the floor.
"Oh, ow, ouch!" Usagi groaned, hitting the floor before tumbling forward a bit.
Usagi looked around and saw she was surrounded by dust and stampeding feet. She dodged the Dinosaurs legs as best she could, as Homalocephales and Dracorexes leapt off her. She was worried she was going to die so she searched for her mother. Then Queen Serenity came out of the dust, stopped for a quick second, grabbed Usagi back in her arms and raced off just before one of the Tsintaosauruses lost its balance and fell to the floor with a moaning bellow.
She ran up to a nearby rock ledge and jumped, grabbing it with her hands as she placed Usagi, who was on her back onto the ledge. Usagi was now safe, and she was now going to save herself. But before she could try to pull herself up she was immediately tackled by an incoming Ankylosaurus, she lost her grip on the ledge and fell into the stampede.
"OH!" Queen Serenity cried. Usagi saw this and was immediately alert.
"MOM!" Usagi yelled, seeing her mother fall into the stampede and disappear in the dust.
Usagi then got to the ledge and looked around frantically for her mother, as her eyes darted around watching the stampede pass her. She looked again as the stampede of Dinosaurs seemed endless and she feared the worst for her mother. She looked one more time and just when she was about to assume the worst.
"Rar!" Queen Serenity cried, as she jumped off the back of a young Mamenchisaurus and used her extended nails to grab onto the canyon wall. "Uh!" She cried as she slightly slipped.
"MOM!" Usagi cried, in relief. She smiled happily that her mother was alright.
Usagi watched as her mother started to climb up the wall, she slipped a bit as Usagi feared she'd fall, but she regained her hold and started to climb again. It was difficult since she had only nails and not claws and her heels weren't suitable for climbing, but she carried on regardless. Deciding to help her when she got to the top, Usagi started to climb up the boulders behind her to get to the top of the cliff so she could pull her mother up.
Out of Usagi's sight, Queen Serenity reached a point that was right below the top of a ledge she couldn't climb up due to the steepness. She was in trouble, she had no claws and her heels weren't getting any traction either. As her heels continued slipping and scraping at the wall she struggled to climb up. Then she looked up and saw Louisa was there.
"Louisa!" Queen Serenity cried, in desperation, as Louisa looked down on her with disdain. "Sister!" Queen Serenity cried as she slightly slipped but regained her hold. "Sister! Help me!" Queen Serenity cried. Her shoes kicked off loose rocks down into the canyon below as she nearly reached the top of the ledge.
Louisa continued to look down on her as Queen Serenity got her hands up on the ledge. Then Louisa pounced forward with her sharp nails out and placed her hands on Queen Serenity's.
"Do-Ah!" Queen Serenity yelped, as she felt the pain of her sister's nails.
Louisa then leaned forward with an evil smile on her face and a murderous look in her eyes. Louisa smiled evilly and she slowly and evilly said the line that sealed her fate.
"Long live the Queen!" Louisa said evilly.
It was then that it hit Queen Serenity and she had a sudden flash of realisation. Her expression slowly changed as she recognized Louisa's true intentions. She had fear in her eyes and she was now doomed.
As Louisa finally grabbed Queen Serenity's hands off the ledge, threw her hands off her and then let go of her causing Queen Serenity to fall helplessly back first towards the stampeding Dinosaurs below.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Queen Serenity screamed, as she fell to her death.
"NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" Usagi screamed, watching her mother hit the ground.
Minutes later the last of the herds members had finally all passed, as Usagi quickly climbed down the gorge to try and find her mother. All the herds had now passed but the entire gorge was now covered in a blanket of dust that covered everything. Usagi was now back in the gorge with only one thing in her mind, finding her mother. But it was actually hard for her to find her in all the dust. Her mother was nowhere to be seen. Usagi continued to look for her mother.
"Mom!" Usagi yelled, calling out to her.
Due to the large amount of dust in the gorge Usagi was coughing through it.
"Mom! Oh!" Usagi coughed.
She looked all around the areas where her mother might be, but she couldn't find her anywhere. Then she heard something approaching her in a direction.
"Mom?" Usagi asked, quietly and hoping it was her mother.
But it was only a single Tsintaosaurs that was the source of the noise, running past her. The Hadrosaur was now back on its feet trying to catch up with the rest of the herds. Usagi watched it go when it ran past a log further up the gully and disappeared into the dust cloud. That's when she noticed that under the log there was a dark shadowy shape in front of her. Usagi wondered what the shape was, so she raced over to it. As she approached it she started to investigate, and soon she realised that it was her mother. She approaches her mother's body and sees she's not breathing, hears her heart not beating or her body moving. She noticed that her mother's eyes are closed and not a sigh is coming from her. Usagi then sees that something is very, very wrong. But she's hopeful that her mother's only asleep.
"Mom?" Usagi asked, hoping to get an answer.
But she didn't as her Mother continued to lie where she was.
"Mom, come on!" Usagi begged. She rubbed against Queen Serenity's head hoping she'd get up. "You've gotta get up." But the head of her mother merely rolled back in place after the rub.
"Mom." Usagi begged, as she placed both her hands on her mother's head. "We've gotta go home!" But nothing happened.
Usagi then pulled on her mother's arm hoping she'd wake up, but once again nothing happened. Usagi then started to become scared and ran off for a bit, trying to find and get help.
"HHEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPPP!!!!!!" Usagi yelled, in hope that someone would hear her. "Somebody!"
But her own voice only reverbaltes hollowly off the walls in the gorge. And nobody answered back.
"Anybody…" Usagi cried, as she realised she was the only one in the gorge.
Tears now ran down Usagi's face out of her eyes as she finally realised that her mother is dead. She walked over to her mother and moved under her arm as the tears fell down. Usagi had so many questions in her head. Was it her fault that her Mother died? Was she the reason why her Mother was now gone? Why couldn't she have done anything to help her Mother? All she could do now was just cry as she embraced under her mother's arm. This was indeed a sad moment in Usagi's life. For she had lost her Mother in a very tragic death.
Usagi kept crying right by her Mother's dead body, until Louisa finally approached through the dust cloud and towards Usagi.
"Usagi…" Louisa said, as Usagi turned around seeing Louisa. "...What have you done?"
Usagi jumped slightly at Louisa's sudden appearance. She got to her feet, out from under her mother's arm and tried to explain what happened to her Auntie.
"There were Maiasauruas, Tsintaosauruses, Sinoceratopses, Centrosauruses, Homalocephales, Dracorexes, Ornithomimuses, Mamenchiosauruses and Ankylosauruses and she tried to save me…" Usagi explained through tears. "It was an accident… I… I didn't mean for it to happen!"
"Of course, of course you didn't…" Louisa said in comfort, but very faintly, as she pulled Usagi in for a comforting hug. "No one… ever really means for these kinds of things to happen."
Usagi cried onto Louisa's dress. "But I'm afraid that the Queen IS dead!" Louisa said. Usagi looked up at Louisa as she looked back at her with a mock regret.
"And if it weren't for you she'd still be alive." Louisa said.
Usagi was then crushed by what Louisa had said, and now she was believing that it was her own fault and guilt that caused this to happen.
Then another thought 'occurred' to Louisa. "Oh!" Louisa gasped, as Usagi looked at her. "What will your father think?"
"What am I gonna do?" Usagi sniffed.
"Run away Usagi." Louisa said, as she leaned forward causing Usagi to back up a little.
Usagi looked at her mother's dead body for one last time as she then returned her focus on Louisa.
"Run!" Louisa said. "Run away and never, ever return!"
Hearing what her Auntie said, Usagi took off running, she looked back at her Mother's dead body and raced off down the canyon and into the dust. Without another choice Usagi ran off blindly, obviously broken by her own guilt. She disappeared around the corner.
Louisa only stood there smiling as she watched her go. The Queen was dead, but the plan wasn't completed yet. The three villains then appeared behind her approaching.
"Kill her." Louisa ordered.
With that speech in their minds, Kurata, Matori and Ranamon took off after her, ready to finish what they'd started.
Usagi kept running until she had to stop and panted as she came across an end in the gully. She sees that the rocks go all the way up to the point that she can't get out. Then Usagi sensed something or rather someone behind her.
"Huh?" Usagi gasped, as she turned her head.
When she turned around she saw Kurata, Matori and Ranamon approaching her, all three were snarling and drooling. Usagi looked and saw a section of the gully wall she could use to escape. She panted as she ran up the rocks as the villains chased her. Usagi climbed through a small hole, and nearly missed getting scrammed by Matori as she attempted to scram her but missed and ended up scratching her nails on the hard rock.
Usagi ran as fast as she could, but then she quickly skidded to a stop.
"Woah!" Usagi gasped, as she skidded to a stop by the edge of the cliff. As the rocks she kicked off the ledge fell down, Usagi could see a sheer drop on the other side.
"AH!" Usagi gasped, but she heard someone coming and looked behind her.
Kurata, Matori and Ranamon were coming right behind her, as Kurata snapped his jaws.
Realising it's now or never, Usagi jumped off the ledge and down to the sheer drop below. "Ah! Oh! Uh!" Usagi groaned, as she tumbled end over end down the sheer drop.
Kurata, Matori and Ranamon jumped down the ledge and chased after her, as they growled and snarled.
Usagi continued to tumble like an Armadillo curled up, until she reached a ledge and fell off it into a patch of briars.
"Uh!" Usagi cried, as she crashed and landed in the briars. She looked up and saw the villains coming fast. Usagi quickly got to her hands and knees and started to crawl through, climb over and duck under the briars determined to get away as she panted.
The villains were still in pursuit as they ran, and Matori started over taking Kurata.
"Woah!" Matori cried, as she saw the briars ahead. She quickly stopped running and started skidding, trying to stop before she fell over the edge. Finally after skidding extensively she stopped before she fell into the brambles.
"Phew!" Matori sighed, in relief. But her relief was short lived as Kurata came skidding in behind and crashed into her, almost sending her off the edge. "Oh!" Matori groaned, as Kurata crashed into her. Then Ranamon came skidding down and crashed into them both, Kurata stayed on the ledge but the force from Ranamon sent Matori propelling off into the brambles below.
"WHOA!" Matori cried as she landed. Kurata and Ranamon looked over to where she landed. "YEOW! OH!" Matori cried in pain, as she jumped out of the brambles and landed back in them.
Kurata and Ranamon laughed and laughed and laughed at their teammate's misfortune.
"Ow! Oh! Ee! Yuh!" Matori groaned as she pulled herself back on the ledge while covered in bramble thorns. As she limped in pain Ranamon laughed at her as Kurata looked at the scene play out, until he noticed something in the distance.
"Hey!" Kurata cried, looking in the distance.
It was Usagi, she had manoeuvred through the brambles safely and emerged from them, she quickly got to the desert and continued to run into the distance, as the Sun started to set.
"There she goes! There she goes!" Kurata cried.
Matori meanwhile was using her teeth to pull the thorns out. "So go get her!" Matori winced in pain.
"There ain't no way hozay I'm going in there!" Kurata said, as he looked at Matori and then back at the bramble patch, he then turned back to Matori. "What, you want me to come out of there looking just like you? Cactus Buttette?" He then laughed as his last comment.
Matori then pulled some thorns out of her butt, as Ranamon continued her laughing. With Ranamon's continuous laughter annoying her, Matori has finally had enough and spits the thorns in her mouth and into Ranamon's laughing face. Ranamon let out a yelp in pain as she rubbed her nose.
"But we've gotta finish the job!" Matori reminded Kurata.
"Yeah well she's as good as dead out there anyway." Kurata said, as Matori walked up to him. "And IF she comes back, we'll kill her."
"Yeah! You hear that?!" Matori yelled to Usagi as she ran further into the desert. "If you ever come back, we'll kill ya!"
Matori's echo sounded out as the three villains laughed, and they left to tell Louisa that they had 'killed' Usagi.
A few hours later, nighttime had arrived in the Moon Lands. But this night was a night of sorrow. As all the Kingdom's subjects both Humans and Animals, Pokemon and Digimon, Dinosaurs and Extinct Creatures, and Herbivores and Carnivores alike, had all gathered at the Royal Moon Palace to hear Louisa's address. Even Usagi's family were there, including family friends, Gorgon the Gorgosaurus, White-Tip and her Pack-mates, Ash, May, Pikachu, Glaceon, Luna, Artemis and Usagi's best friend Mamoru. King Atem then started to grieve over the loss of his wife Queen Serenity and his daughter Usagi.
"Serenity's death was a terrible, terrible tragedy; but to lose Usagi who had just barely begun to live…" Louisa addressed the crowd.
All the Creatures bowed their heads in sadness when they heard her address. Some of them were crying as their friends and parents comforted them. Some of them, like Zozu, Ash, May, Pikachu, Glaceon and Gorgon were comforting King Atem, who bent his head in extreme pain. Mamoru was rubbing against his father's leg, and Luna and Artemis were comforting him.
"...For me it is a very, very, deep personal loss." Louisa said. "So it is with a heavy heart that I must assume the throne."
As Louisa talked the villains and Burial Ground Creatures started coming forward as their shadows appeared on the walls.
"Yet out of the ashes of this tragedy…" Louisa continued. "We shall rise…"
"...to greet…" Louisa carried on. Zozu gasped as she heard this.
The entire crowd then looked and gasped as the Savages were here in the Kingdom.
"...the dawning of a new era…" Louisa said, as she ascended up the Royal Moon Palace.
"...in which Creatures of the Moon Lands and Savage Ones all come together…" Louisa said, as she arrived at the peak of the balcony. "...in a great and glorious future!"
All the villains arrived and now they were here to stay in the Moon Lands forever.
From a far distance the Digi-Destineds were watching with their Digimon Partners.
"No! It can't be true!" Veemon cried.
"They can't be gone!" Hawkmon cried.
"I can't believe they're gone!" Armadillomon and Wormmon cried.
"No! It can't be true!" T.K cried. "This is even worse than the time I thought I lost Patamon!"
"T.K, we're all here for you." Patamon comforted his partner.
"I can't believe Serenity and Usagi are gone." Davis said, sadly.
"They were the Kingdom's only true ruler and heir!" Yolei and Codi cried.
"But now they're gone!" Ken cried.
"Oh!" Kari cried, as she watched the scene play out.
"Kari?" Gatomon asked.
"You okay Sis?" Tai asked.
But Kari just shook her head in sadness, and she couldn't believe this was happening. After returning to the tree and telling Agumon, Matt, Gabumon, Sora, Byomon, Izzy, Tentomon, Mimi, Palmon, Joe and Gomamon about what they heard, Kari went up to the top of the tree to her spare room.
Kari just sat there in deep sadness. She wiped a tear, as she looked at her painting of Usagi on the wall. Then, she reached up, put her hand on the wall and rubbed her hand across the ordango blonde painting, smearing it. Because Kari knew that without the rightful heir to the throne, this kingdom had no hope of survival.
A few days later, Usagi was now facing death as she lay on the desert floor. She had travelled far, far, far away from the Moon Lands, not even wanting to sleep or to stop at all. Or not being able to eat and drink. But worst of all she's dying from extreme heat from the sun. For a young kid like her, she won't live for long. Finally she collapsed on the desert ground and the clock of death is now clicking on her. From the sky hungry Peteinosaurus and Dimorphodons, the scavengers of death, were circling above her like hungry Vultures. They waited very patiently for the young girl to die. Finally soaring down to the ground they started approaching Usagi's body and approached the blonde ordango. By the time they started pecking at her, there was a yell from somewhere.
Then out of nowhere came a girl with red and yellow coloured hair and light orange skin came charging at them, with a brunette who's hair was shoulder-length. "He-YAW!" The two strange girls yelled and they began to drive the Pterosaurs away. Then came four more young girls about Usagi's age, one had short blue hair, one had long raven black hair, one had brown hair in a ponytail and one had blonde hair with a red bow also started to shoo the Pterosaurs away.
The six girls then began slapping and kicking the Pterosaurs away. The light orange skin girl even roared and stomped her feet at the scavengers sending all of them away in a sudden fury.
"Get out! Get outta here!" The shoulder-length brunette called, shooing them away. "Get outta here! Whoo!"
"Doing this is so much fun!" The blond with a red bow said.
"I agree with you there Minako!" The short blue haired girl said. "I guess it's okay every once in a while to skip the books!"
"I know Ami!" The red and yellow hair girl said. "I just love bawling for Pterosaurs!"
"Me too!" The brunette with a ponytail said. "It makes me feel so alive!"
"Yes Makoto!" The shoulder-length brunette said, while dusting herself off. "It gets them everytime!"
"I only wish they'd stay longer." The long raven black hair girl said. "Don't you Sunset Shimmer?"
"Then where's the fun in that Rei?" Sunset Shimmer asked. That's when Sunset Shimmer noticed Usagi lying on the ground near them. Sunet walked over to her and looked at her.
"Uh-oh!" Sunset said, catching the shoulder-length brunette's attention. "Hey Téa. You might wanna come and take a look. I think it's still alive."
Téa then sees the blonde ordango. "Ewww…" Téa said, feeling disgusted by the body. She thinks it might be half dead and is starting to rot rather than alive. But working up her courage she walked over to Sunset and to the body. "Alrighty. Now what have we got here?" Téa asked, looking at Usagi. She sniffs her first then takes a look at her body, touches her and then lifts her arm to see her face. Téa finally snapped her fingers and said. "Well what do you know? It's another blonde girl."
"How can you tell?" Sunset asked.
"It's pretty obvious." Téa said. "She's got the same hair colour as Minako, but her hair is styled in an ordango."
"Aw look at her." Sunset said, seeing Usagi. "She's so cute and little and all alone. Can we keep her?"
"Why should we keep her?" Téa asked. "I have you, Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako, Sunset."
"Téa remember she's like us." Ami said.
"She's a fellow girl!" Rei added.
"We have to help her." Makoto finished.
"Please be reasonable." Minako begged.
"But I am being reasonable!" Téa said.
"But she's so little." Sunset said.
"She's gonna get bigger." Téa said. "Then there'll be no room for us."
"Maybe she'll be on our side." Sunset said.
"A-huh! That's the silliest and stupidest thing I've ever heard. Maybe she'll b-" Téa said, before realising. "Hey I got it. What if she's on our side? You know maybe having a 5th kid around might not be such a bad idea after all."
"So we're keeping 'er?" Sunset asked, as she scooped Usagi in her arms and onto her back.
"Of course. Who's the brains in this outfit?" Téa asked.
Then Sunset became curious about Téa's question about the 'brains in this outfit.'
"Uhhhh…" Sunset said, as she made sure Usagi secured on her back.
"My point exactly." Téa said. "Jeez, I'm fried. Let's get outta here and find some shade pronto!"
Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako just rolled their eyes due to Téa's comment and they all walked off.
A little while later, Sunset, Téa, Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako are at the outside of the jungle with the body of Usagi lying near a pool of water. Téa then started splashing water gently onto Usagi's face. Usagi then stirs and begins to wake up.
"Hmm?" Usagi asked as she opened her eyes. She looked to her left and saw her rescuers.
"Are you okay kid?" Téa asked.
"I guess so." Usagi said, but not in a glad or normal happy mood. She was still sad about what had happened a few days ago.
"You nearly died." Sunset said.
"I saved you." Téa said. Sunset then snorted angrily at Téa. "Well, uh, Sunset helped. A little." Téa said. Sunset then smiled, feeling satisfied.
"So did Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako." Sunset said, as the 4 girls smiled.
"Thanks for your help." Usagi said dully, as she got back on her feet and headed off quietly towards the desert again.
"Hey, where are you going?" Téa asked.
"Nowhere." Usagi said, while still walking off.
"Gee. She looks blue." Téa said to Sunset while watching Usagi go.
"I'd say her hair is blonde." Sunset said, thinking Téa meant the colour of her hair.
"No, no, no, no." Ami said. "She means she's depressed."
"Oh." Sunset said.
"I don't like seeing someone so sad." Rei said.
"She looks like she could use a friend." Makoto added.
"Let's go and talk to her." Minako said.
Then the six walked up to Usagi. Usagi sat down on the ground feeling glum.
"Hey kid, what's eating ya'?" Sunset asked, sitting next to her.
"Nothing! She's on the top of the food chain!" Téa said and then laughed. "Ahhhhhhha ha haaa!" Téa laughed, nudging Usagi's shoulder. "The food chain!"
Sunset, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako and Usagi only stare at her silently.
Téa then realised that her joke's flopped and changed her subject.
"So, where are you from…?" Téa asked.
"Who cares?" Usagi said, and walked forward. "I can't ever go back there."
"Oh so you're an outcast." Téa said as she and the others got in front of Usagi. "That's really great. So are we."
"So what'cha do kid?" Sunset asked.
"What happened, girl?" Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako asked.
"Something very terrible." Usagi answered as she sat down. "But I don't wanna talk about it."
"Good we don't wanna hear about it." Téa said.
"Téa!" Rei scolded Téa.
"That's not nice to say." Makoto added.
Then Ami and Minako turned to Usagi.
"If you don't want to tell us it's fine." Minako said.
"Is there anything we can do?" Ami asked.
"Not unless you can change the past." Usagi said glumly.
"You know kid." Sunset said as she sat down. "In times like this my buddy Téa here says, 'you gotta put your behind in your past…'"
"No. No. No!" Téa cried, waving her arms.
"I mean…" Sunset said, trying to correct herself.
"Amutar. Lie down before you hurt yourself." Téa said to Sunset. Then Téa turned to Usagi. "It's 'you gotta put your past behind you.'" Téa said. "Now look kid. Sometimes bad things happen and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Right?"
"Right." Usagi said.
"Wrong!" Téa said, as she poked Usagi's nose. She then lowered her hand as she spoke her next words. "When the world turns it back on you. You turn your back on the world."
"Well that's definitely not what I was taught." Usagi said feeling lethargic.
"Then maybe you need a new lesson." Téa said, walking towards Usagi. "Repeat after me." She then cleared her throat. "Ahem. Hakuna Matata."
"Uh what?" Usagi asked, still lethargic.
"Ha-ku-na Ma-ta-ta." Sunset said slowly. "It means 'no worries'"
"Yes." Ami smiled. "Hakuna Matata helped all of us."
"It's the words we live by." Rei said.
"We sing it all the time." Makoto chimed.
"It always makes us feel better too." Minako added.
And that's where Téa began to sing…
Téa singing: Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Sunset then began to join in.
Sunset Shimmer singing: Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
That's when they started heading back to their jungle home as Téa beckoned for Usagi to follow them as she sang.
Téa singing: It means no worries
For the rest of your days
Then we see Usagi laying on some leaves of a bush in the jungle, as Sunset was holding a leaf fanning her, and Téa was approaching her hand. Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako were there too.
Téa and Sunset singing: It's our problem-free
Philosophy
Téa then began filling Usagi's nails down a little with a nail file.
Téa singing: Hakuna Matata!
"Hakuna Matata?" Usagi asked, feeling confused.
"Yeah it's our motto." Sunset said.
"What's a motto?" Usagi asked.
"Nothing! What's a 'motto' with you!" Téa joked then laughed like a cartoon character. "Ahh ha ha ha…"
Sunset, Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako laughed too.
"You know kid-" Sunset laughed. "These two words will solve all your problems!"
"That's right!" Téa said, as she jumped back to her feet. "Take Sunset here for example."
"Why?" Usagi asked.
Téa then jumps back into song…
Téa singing: Why, when she was a young lassie
Sunset singing: (Italian countertenor range) When I was a young las-siiiiiie!
Téa speaking: (While clenching her ear) Very nice.
Sunset speaking: Thanks!
We then see Sunset as a younger girl walking towards the waterhole. As she walked, Aipoms fell out of the trees and hit the ground while holding their noses.
Téa singing: She found her aroma lacked a certain appeal
She could clear the Savannah after every meal
As Sunset approached the water's edge where some other Creatures were there drinking, Sunset too began to drink.
Sunset singing: I'm a sensitive soul, though I seem thick-skinned
As she drank she let out a stinky fluff, one so stinky that the Meganeuras fainted from the smell and the grass behind Sunset wilted. Sunset then realised she'd fluffed looking up from her drink. The Quaggas sniffed the air catching the whiff, as did the Elephantmon, with the Girafarigs and Elasmotherioum. They quickly looked at Sunset for a while before they all ran away.
Sunset singing: And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
Then it cuts back to Sunset back in the jungle to her teenage self, feeling sad thinking of that memory again as she sang the spotlight shone on her. Téa, understanding what her best friend went through, did sympathetic moves as she sang her verses.
Sunset singing: And oh, the shame!
Téa singing: She was ashamed!
Sunset singing: Thought of changin' my name
Téa singing: Oh, what's in a name?
Sunset singing: And I got downhearted
Téa singing: How did you feel?
Sunset singing: Every time that I-
At this point Téa rushed over and quickly put her hands over Sunset's mouth.
Téa speaking: Sunset! Not in front of the kids!
Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minkako speaking: There might be kids reading!
Sunset speaking: Oh… sorry.
Usagi then looked surprised. Then Usagi watched as Téa hoisted up Sunset in a vine-like seat. As they sang Sunset grabbed Téa and they did some swinging on the vines doing some trapeze couple moves.
Téa and Sunset singing: Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
Finally after becoming more and more enthusiastic, Usagi finally joined in as the spotlight shone on her.
Usagi singing: It means no worries
For the rest of your days
Téa speaking: (While doing a vaudeville knee-slide up to Usagi) Yeah, sing it kid!
Sunset speaking: (While belly sliding up to Usagi as well) I think she's got it!
Téa and Sunset got back on their feet and stood next to Usagi and sang in the spotlight.
Sunset, Téa and Usagi singing: It's our problem-free…
Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako then landed behind the trio and they sang in beautiful opera style.
Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako singing: Philosophy!
All 7 of them then came to the centre as they sang the next verse all together.
All seven singing: Hakuna Matata!
Téa then pulled back a big fern leaf, revealing a beautiful view of the rift jungle.
"Welcome to our humble home." Téa said, proudly to Usagi.
Usagi was amazed at the view she saw. Waterfalls and rugged terrain made a beautiful view.
"You live here?" Usagi asked in awe.
"We live wherever we want." Téa said proudly.
"Yep." Sunset said. "Home is where your rump rests. Heh!"
"It's so beautiful!" Usagi said.
Later the 7 were walking through the jungle as Sunset suddenly let out a belch.
"Excuse me." Sunset said. "I'm so starved."
"I'm so hungry I could eat a whole Quagga." Usagi said.
This made Téa a little nervous. "Uh, hah." Téa said and stopped walking. "We're fresh out of Quagga."
"Any Macrauchenia?" Usagi asked hopefully.
"Na-ah." Téa answered.
"Toxodon?" Usagi asked again.
"Nope." Téa said. "Listen kid, if you're gonna live with us, then you've gotta eat like us." Téa said, as she walked over to an old log. "Say this looks like a good place to russell up some grub!"
Sunset and the others approached the log and she lifted it up with her hands, revealing many, many, many Insects under it. Usagi approached and looked at the Insects.
"Eeew!" Usagi cried, grossed out. "What's that?"
"A Grub." Téa answered, holding an Insect. "What's it look like?"
"Eeew gross!" Usagi said being disgusted.
Téa then eats the Grub, swallows it, licks her lips and her fingers clean.
"Mmm. Tastes just like chicken." Téa said.
Then Sunset slurps up a large Worm from the ground and eats it.
"Slimey, yet satisfying." Sunset said smiling, as Usagi was in disbelief.
Téa was over by some Bug Mounds where more Bugs crawled.
"These are rare delicacies." Téa said, as she picked up another Bug and ate it. She swallowed some of it and smiled. "Piquant, with a very pleasant crunch." Téa smiled as she finished the Bug.
"You'll learn to love them!" Sunset said, with her mouth full of Bugs freaking Usagi out a little.
"I'm telling you kid, this is the great life." Téa said, while holding a leaf of Bugs in her left hand walking alongside a rotten log. "No rules. No responsibilities." Téa said as she put her right hand in the knothole of the log and many more Bugs came crawling out. She then pulls a large squishy Bug. "Oooh! The little cream-filled kind." Téa smiled, and popped it in her mouth. Then she walked over to Usagi with the leaf as some Bugs fell off. "And best of all no worries." Then she offered some to Usagi. "Well kid?"
Usagi then picked up a really big Grub and looked at it.
"Oh well, Hakuna Matata." Usagi sighed. She then slurped the Grub up, and swallowed it. Usagi felt a little sick after eating it, but then she smiled and looked more cheerful. "Slimey, yet satisfying."
"That's it." Téa said.
"We'll show you all the great Grubs Usagi." Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako said, as some of the Bugs started to fly away.
Throughout the years, Usagi lived with all her new friends with free will and lived with Hakuna Matata. Usagi also ate many, many, many Bugs. As they walked along the log swinging their heads Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako all grew bigger and bigger and their bond of friendship they made grew larger and larger. Then finally after years Usagi had finally grown up into an adult as did Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako. Then we see Téa and Sunset swinging their heads to the beat. But Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako weren't seen.
Téa and Sunset singing: Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna
Then Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako came and sang as if they were all sisters.
Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako singing: (In grown up voices) It means no worries
For the rest of your days
Soon all seven of them started singing.
All seven singing: It's our problem-free
Philosophy
Then Téa runs over to a log in the shape of a diving board and jumps into the lagoon below making a small splash. Sunset then comes over to the log and jumps off it too and does a cannonball dive into the lagoon below and makes a bigger splash. Then Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako go over to the board, jump off it and grab onto a vine. But before they could dive off it, the vine snapped and they fell into the lagoon making a gigantic splash and a wave form. Téa rides on Sunset like a surfboard to shore. As Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako and Usagi climbed out of the water their hair was all wet and covered their eyes. They soon shook hardy and jiggled and their hair was soon dry again forming into afros for a little bit, but their hair soon went back to normal.
All seven singing: Hakuna Matata
Matata Hakuna
Hakuna Matata
Matata Hakuna
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata
As they all walked away from the lagoon the song broke into gentle jazz as they continued to sing 'Hakuna Matata' as they left.
All seven singing: Hakuna Matata
Hakuna Matata
Usagi singing solo: Hakuna Matata ha-ha-ha!
Téa, Sunset, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako and Usagi then finally boogie off into the jungle to the beat of 'Hakuna Matata' all the way.
Back in the Moon Lands, what was once a beautiful paradise of green and harmony, was now a desolate wasteland of nothingness. Most of the plants and trees had died, and grey soil blew in the wind. The rivers and waterholes were bone dry and the grass had all vanished. Not many Creatures were around the valley. It had been many years since Louisa became Queen and Usagi was living the life of 'Hakuna Matata'. But now an all new problem has arisen. The long drought and lack of nosh available had become a big problem. All the Moon Lands Herbivores weren't able to eat, breed or produce offspring, because of the harsh conditions of the land. All the Moon Lands Herbivores had left the Moon Lands in order to find food and water. The Humans, Amphibians, Birds, Insects and other Creatures had left as well. Leaving many of the Moon Lands Carnivores starving. Without anything for them to hunt, the Moon Lands Carnivores couldn't feed their families. At the Royal Moon Palace, Louisa had ordered for the Moon Lands Carnivores to find food for the Villains. Louisa had also kept Queen Serenity's family and all the servants around so she could get them to order the Moon Lands Carnivores to do the hunting.
Looking over the valley on a ledge was Mamoru Chiba. Like Usagi in her new life with 'Hakuna Matata', Mamoru had also grown up into an adult. He had been suffering through his own sadness of losing his best friend.
"Mamoru." A voice said, getting his attention. He turned and saw King Atem sitting with Ash, May, Pikachu, Glaceon, Gorgon, White-Tip, her Pack-Mates and the rest of the Moon Lands Carnivores. "Come sit with us."
Mamoru did as he sat down a Dimorphodon flew down.
"Daniel?" Mamoru asked. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm sorry Mamoru." The Dimorphodon said. "I came as soon as I could."
"The morning report please Daniel." King Atem said.
"Your Majesty, the Moon Lands are in emanate danger." Daniel said. "The Villains have chased away the last of the Macrauchenia and Toxodon herds."
"Then that means there's no prey left." A Smilodon with a broken sabre-tooth said.
"Yes, Half-Tooth." A Deinosuchus said. "We know."
"We have to do something, Atem." Mamoru said. "We've got to fight!"
"Mamoru." King Atem said. "Louisa is the queen."
"But you are our king." Mamoru said. "We should leave now before it's too late!"
"We must all stay together and protect the Moon Lands." King Atem said. "This is our home. We must never abandon it."
"This isn't the home I remember." Mamoru said.
"Our time will come Mamoru." King Atem said. "Be patient."
"I just hope Zozu's okay inside." May said. "Ever since Louisa put her under bones, we've had to ask Daniel and his family to give us the morning report."
May was right. Inside the Royal Moon Palace's Throne Room, Louisa was relaxing all by herself as Zozu sang sadly. Zozu had become a nuisance to Louisa over the years and she had put Zozu in a cage made of some Animal's ribcage by the wall. She had put two big rocks by both the sides to keep her trapped inside.
Zozu singing: Nobody knows
The trouble I've seen
Nobody knows
My sorrow…
"Oh Zozu do lighten up." Louisa said, as she chucked a bone at Zozu, it clattered against the cage. "Sing something with a little… bounce in it."
Zozu thought for a moment. Then she sang, but sarcastically.
Zozu singing: (Sarcastically) It's a small world after all…
"No! NO!" Louisa interrupted. "Anything but that!"
Zozu then thought once again. Then she held up her wing as a tune came to her.
Zozu singing: I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts
(diddely-dee-dee)
There they are all standing in a row…
Louisa was now enjoying the song so much that she began to join in. As she sang, she held up the skull of a baby Nasutaceratops.
Zozu and Louisa singing: Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head.
As Louisa continued to sing by herself, Zozu groaned as she muttered. "Oh… I would never have had to do this with Serenity."
Unfortunately Louisa heard her, as she leapt in front of the cage angry. "WHAT?!" Louisa thundered. "What did you say?"
"Um nothing!" Zozu said, as she backed up and cowered in fear.
"You know the law! Never, ever, ever mention THAT name in my royal presence!" Louisa shouted, as she pushed her mouth through the bones and shouted. "I AM THE QUEEN!"
Louisa's shout made Zozu hit the wall once she landed, she straightened herself up. "Yes Sire. You ARE the Queen." Zozu said, as she got up. "I… I… well, I only mentioned it to illustrate the differences in your royal managerial approaches." Zozu said, with a nervous chuckle.
"Hey Boss!" A voice shouted.
Louisa looked over to see the three Villains, Kurata, Matori and Ranamon coming inside towards her, and they weren't happy about something
"Oh, what is it this time?" Louisa groaned. Louisa already knew what this was gonna be about and it was always complaints about one thing. Food.
"We've got a bone to pick with you." Matori said. "A big one in fact."
"I'll handle this." Kurata said to Matori. Then he walked forward, turned to Louisa and continued. "Louisa, there's no food and there's no water…"
"Yeah." Matori continued as she walked to Kurata's side. "It's dinner time, and we ain't got no stinkin' entrees!"
"It's the Moon Lands Carnivores' job to do the hunting…" Louisa exasuperting and made a helpless gesture.
"Yeah, but they just won't go and hunt!" Matori said.
"Oh…" Louisa groaned, trying to think of something. "Eat Zozu then!" She said pointing to the Hornbill.
"Oh you want to eat me!" Zozu cried nervously. "I'd be so tough and gamey and eeew…"
"Oh Zozu don't be ridiculous!" Louisa chuckled as she turned and walked off. "All you'd need is a little salad dressing…"
"And here I thought things were bad for us under the reign of Queen Serenity." Matori whispered to Kurata, as Ranamon's tongue dropped.
But once again Louisa heard the insult. "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!" She asked quickly and angry once again.
"I said Queen Sere…" Matori started, but was interrupted by Kurata elbowing her, he was smiling and thwaps her to remind her what she's saying. Matori then quickly changes. "Uh I said uh, Queen Sincerity?"
"Good." Louisa said coldly. "Now get out."
The Villains then walked to the opened doors and walked out, but they paused for a moment when Matori looked back and said. "Mm yeah but- we're still very hungry."
"OUT!" Louisa roared.
The three Villains then raced away as Ranamon did a crazy laugh.
That night in the Moon Lands all was calm as everyone slept, everyone but Mamoru. He kept thinking about what King Atem meant by 'our time will come'. Thinking that waiting wouldn't help him, he got up and started to leave the sleeping quarters. He quietly made his way out of the Royal Moon Palace and outside. He then made sure no one followed him before he started to head for the path that led to the Moon Lands entrance.
"Mamoru?" A voice asked. Mamoru turned around and saw Ash, May, Pikachu and Glaceon by the door.
"Where are you going?" Ash asked.
"Go away guys." Mamoru said quietly. "I'm going to find help. Waiting won't restore our home to how it was."
"We're not going away." May said. "We're sworn to protect you and you must go back to bed."
"I can't just sit by and let this continue!" Mamoru said. "I'm going to find help and you can't stop me."
"No they can't." A voice said. Mamoru turned around and saw it was Gorgon. "But I'm coming with you Mamoru."
"No Gorgon." Mamoru said. "I need to go alone."
"You'll have a better chance at getting past the Villains if I go with you." Gorgon said.
"If you and Gorgon are going." Ash said. "Then May, Pikachu, Glaceon and I'll come too."
"Alright guys." Mamoru said giving in. "Let's go."
With that the group quickly and quietly made their way past the rows of sleeping Villains and to the entrance of the Moon Lands. They then sprinted away as fast as they could before anyone could see them. Over at the Royal Moon Palace someone had seen them. It was King Atem.
"Mamoru." He said.
It's now nighttime at Hakuna Matata Jungle far away from the Moon Lands. Stars were now seen all across the night sky. The jungle was completely silent and quiet. Not a creature was seen or heard. Until all of a sudden, there was an extremely loud monstrous belch that reverberated across the landscape. Some Birds came flying out of the trees from the sound and were awoken by it. Then we see Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Téa and Sunset lying on their backs looking up at the stars. A relaxing night for them, and that's when we found out it was Usagi who made the monstrous burp. And Téa was amazed by it.
"Woah!" Téa wowed. "Nice one Usagi."
"Thanks." Usagi thanked. "Man, I'm so stuffed."
"Me too." Sunset said. "I ate like a girl."
"Sunset-" Usagi said smiling. "You ARE a girl."
"Oh. Right." Sunset said.
"That was a great dinner." Ami said.
"I think all those Termites have given me the burps." Rei said.
"Or it could be the Crickets." Makoto jokes.
"Or even the Lovebugs." Minako laughed.
Then all seven sighed deeply, in union. Then they all looked up at the stars again. Usagi had never been happier with them. She is now home. Away from her problems. Away from her terrible past. All of them were quiet for a moment. Until Sunset spoke.
"Uh, Téa?" Sunset asked Téa.
"Yeah?" Téa asked.
"You ever wonder what those sparkly white dots are up there?" Sunset asked, referring to the stars. And Sunset Shimmer was curious about them.
"Sunset I don't wonder what they are, I know what they are." Téa said.
"Oh. So what are they?" Sunset asked.
"They're Fireflies." Téa answered. "Fireflies they got… uh stuck up on that big bluish-black… thing."
"Oh. Gee." Sunset said. "See I always thought they were balls of gas burning billions of miles away."
"Sunset, with you, everything is gas." Téa said.
"Actually you two." Ami said. "They're not Fireflies or balls of gas. They're called stars and no one knows where they came from. My Mom and I used to do this every night." Then she became sad. "I lost my Mom in a fire back at my old home and my Dad couldn't concentrate after that, he fell off a cliff in complete sadness."
"Oh man. You had it rough, Ami." Rei said "My Grandpa and I used to look up at the stars every night too." But she also became sad. "My parents died when I was only a baby in a car crash. My Grandpa raised me until he died from lung cancer."
"Oh I'm sorry to hear that." Makoto said. "I also used to look up at the stars with my Mother and Father too." But then she became sad as well. "My parents died in a plane crash when I was only young and I didn't have any other family to go to."
"Wow, that's rough." Minako said. "I too used to do this with my Mom and Dad all the time before bed." Then she also became sad. "My Mom died by getting stabbed by an outlaw and my Dad was poisoned by the same outlaw."
"That's rough, girls." Usagi said then thought. "So I'm not the only one who's lost a loved one."
"Anyway, moving on from that." Sunset said, changing the topic. "Usagi what do you think?"
Usagi did have something to say but she wasn't quite sure if she wanted to say it. It was kind of an old saying from someone in her past. Someone she cared about the most.
"Well, I don't know…" Usagi said.
"Oh come on. Give, give, give.. Well, come on Usagi, we told you ours." Téa and Sunset begged. "Pleeeease?"
Usagi tried not to talk about it, but she reluctantly gave in.
"Well." Usagi began. "Somebody once told me that the great queens of the past are up there, watching over us."
"The great queens of the past?" Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako asked.
"Really?" Sunset asked.
"You mean a bunch of royal dead gals are watching us?" Téa asked. She tries to keep her composure, then she suddenly breaks out laughing. Sunset then joins in with her on the laughing. Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako on the other hand remain silent. Usagi felt kind of offended when they laughed, but Usagi also laughed, but half-heartedly.
"Who told you something like that?" Téa laughed. "What mook made that up?"
"Yeah." Usagi said. "Pretty dumb huh?"
"Oh you're killing me Usagi!" Téa laughed.
"Yeah." Usagi said sadly. Then her expression changes into deep sadness. She looked back up at the stars and wondered about something. The same old saying 'The great queens of the past looking down at her' really meant a lot to her. But the truth is, was her mother really up there? Usagi quietly gets up and leaves.
Téa, Sunset, Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako watched her walk away and disappear. Then Téa wondered if she had offended her for laughing at what Usagi said. "Was it something I said?" Téa asked Sunset and the others.
Usagi then walked out onto a ledge and looked at the stars. The old saying from her mother had been haunting her ever since she'd been living with Téa, Sunset, Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako. But the memory of her mother had been haunting her the most. Usagi kept on looking up at the stars wondering if her mother was really watching her. And if her mother is right about being there for her. Even in death. Usagi then sighed and collapsed to lay on the ledge. The Dandelion petals that she collapsed on are stirred into the air by her flop.
The Dandelion petals travelled far and wide across the lands, and now they reached the Moon Lands. It began to fly with the wind towards the Digi-Destines Meeting Tree. In that area the tree was still green while the soil was barren and dry. The Dandelion petals were now flying past above the tree when a hand shot out and snatched some from the air. "Hah." A voice said. Then we see it was Kari who snatched them. She sniffed them, grunts and bounds down into her part of the tree.
"Hup, hup, huh, hah!" Kari grunted as she leapt from branch to branch. She eventually reached her room and poured the Dandelion petals into a Turtle Shell.
"Hhhhmmmm." She hummed a tone as she shifted the petals.
Then she grabbed a fruit, the same kind of fruit she anointed Usagi with and ate it. Then she noticed something in the Dandelion petals. She looked closer and saw something that she didn't expect. But could it be true? Realisation dawns on her face when she learns about one thing on her mind.
"Usagi?" Kari asked. She looked over to her smeared painting of Usagi and happiness was in her with the great truth.
"She's-she's alive! She, she's-she's alive!" Kari cried. Kari had never been happier. There was hope for the Moon Lands after all. Laughing and shrieking in delight, she grabbed her staff and went over to Usagi's painting. She then picked up some paint and painted a crown on the smeared painting. "Hah, hah, ha, ha, ha! Ah, Ah, AAAAHHHH!"
T.K hearing Kari's shrieks raced to her room and entered.
"Kari what is it? Are you alright?" T.K asked worriedly.
"T.K! Usagi's alive!" Kari cried.
"What?!" T.K gasped. "Are you sure?"
"Yes!" Kari cried. "There's hope for the Moon Lands after all! I need you to go tell Tai and the others that I'll be going to find her!"
"Okay Kari!" T.K said, leaving the room.
"It is time!!" Kari smiled, looking at her painting.
A few days later, back in Hakuna Matata Jungle, Téa and Sunset were walking around the jungle floor. But Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako were not with them. Apparently Usagi is now spending time to herself with Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako and Téa and Sunset decide to let her be. While walking around they're singing a song called 'The Girl Sleeps Tonight' with Sunset singing the familiar bass to the song with Téa joining in.
Sunset singing: Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away
Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away
Téa singing: In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The Girl Sleeps Tonight
And that's when Sunset noticed a very large Rhinoceros Beetle walking in front of her path. As it heads off into the jungle Sunset follows it, leaving Téa. As Téa continued to sing unaware that Sunset is no longer with her.
Téa singing: In the jungle, the quiet jungle
The Girl Sleeps To-
While singing she said. "I can't hear you buddy! Back me up!" Then she sang the following line in full and good falsetto.
Téa singing: A-WEEE-ee-EE-ee ba-Bum-ba-bum-ba-way!
Then Téa noticed that something was wrong. Sunset was no longer singing. She looked back and asked. "Uh Sunset?" Téa asked, finally realising that Sunset was gone. "Sunset?"
Sunset had followed the Beetle further away from Téa. Far away that she could no longer hear her. The Beetle then flew over to a log and landed on it. Seeing it, Sunset sneaks quietly up to the Bug. The Bug turned around and Sunset quickly hid behind a nearby tree. Thinking it was safe the Bug climbed over the log, and Sunset then followed it. She gets to the log and begins to climb over it. Then she heard the soft snapping sound of a twig and Sunset stopped all of a sudden. She looked back spooked thinking she's being followed.
"Téa?" She asked, and looked around for any sign of Téa or whoever's following her. But Téa didn't answer back. Sunset continued to look around until she thought she was just hearing things. She shrugs it off and climbs over the log fully. Then she looked up close at the Beetle ready to eat it, until the Beetle flew off and Sunset was now staring at the trees. And that's when she sees something out there. It was hard to make out what it was, because it was a dark figure that was slowly moving towards her. Sunset then thought that it might be Usagi, but this figure appeared to be bigger than a human girl. Then Sunset heard the roar of a Herbivore Dinosaur and saw an orange Pachyrhinosaurus with a whole in the right side of his frill charging towards the trees.
"Patchi what's wrong?" Sunset asked.
"Run Sunset!" Patchi called. "There's a Gorgosaurus here!"
"Gorgosaurus!" Sunset gasped.
Then the Gorgosaurus came bursting out of the trees with three more humans and two Pokémon. Patchi quickly charged and met the Gorgosaurus in a struggle. "AAAHHH!" Sunset screamed as the humans and Pokémon came charging at her. Sunset quickly sprinted away as the human with black hair gave chase. Sunset ran as fast as she could. Even faster than any other girl her age before. In fact for the first time actually. But the man with black hair was now gaining on her. Patchi and the Gorgosaurus had now started to bring their battle forward, as Patchi was luring the Gorgosaurus towards a trap.
Near her Téa starts to hear the Gorgosaurus' roar and the noise of the chase. "Sunset?" Téa asked, and ran quickly to find Sunset.
Sunset was jumping over rivers, leaping over rocks and even ran across an old tree in order to escape from her pursuers, but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't shake them.
"Sunset! Sunset!" Téa called as she ran through the jungle.
Sunset then burst through some leaves and under a tree root, but she got stuck. Sunset quickly tried to squeeze through as Téa finally found her.
"Sunset! Sunset!" Téa called, seeing her friend all panicked. "Hey! What's going on?"
"HE'S GONNA EAT ME!" Sunset screamed.
"Huh?" Téa asked, as she got to the top of the root and looked. Then she could see the Gorgosaurus and Patchi fighting as the black haired man came in at full speed towards them. "WHOA!" Téa cried, as she got down on the other side and tried to push Sunset under the root. She pushed as hard and as good as she could but Sunset wouldn't budge. "Jeez! Why do I always have to save your- AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Téa screamed seeing the man approach them and ready to finish them off. Then Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako came in to help but the boy wearing a cap and the girl wearing a red bandana on her head stopped them as did their Pokémon.
Then at the very last possible second as Téa whimpered, Usagi leaped over the root and towards the man and tackled him with a shriek. The man kicked Usagi off him and they began hitting each other with their fists as they struck back and forth.
"Don't worry buddy! I'm here for you!" Téa reassured Sunset. "Everything's gonna be okay!"
"Huh?" Sunset asked, trying to see the fight.
Téa looked at the battle as Usagi dodged another one of the man's fists. "Get him!" Téa said to Usagi. "Bite his head!" Usagi and the man then went for another fist to fist collision. "Go for the jugular! The jugular!" Téa called seeing the battle. Then she turned to Sunset and said "See I told you she'd come in handy."
Usagi then ran over to help Patchi as the Gorgosaurus was pinning him with his jaws. Usagi then tackled the Gorgosaurus to the floor and was about to deal him a deadly strike from her nails when the man quickly jumped and tackled Usagi away from the Gorgosaurus.
At last Usagi and the man grabbed each other, rolled across the ground and it ended up with the man flipped Usagi and pinned her down to the floor with a loud thud. Usagi was baffled by this when the man came to the Gorgosaur's rescue. Like he was trying to protect the Gorgosaurus. Then Usagi is really surprised and not threatening. The way the man took her down and pinned her like it was so familiar. She'd seen this kind of technique before, and there was only one man she knew that could do it.
"Mamoru?" Usagi asked.
Then the man looked surprised and immediately got off her, as he backed up and looked at Usagi examining her. The man, woman, their Pokémon and the Gorgosaurus all stopped their fighting and looked confused by this and appeared no longer threatening.
"Is it- Is it really you?" Usagi asked.
"Who are you and how do you know my name?" The man asked.
Then Usagi smiled, it really IS Mamoru. "Mamoru, it's me. Usagi." Usagi smiled.
"Usagi?" Mamoru asked, and was silent for a moment. Until the realisation dawned on his face and smiled very happily.
"Woah!" Mamoru said happily, and they ran to each other and greeted one another.
"Usagi?" The boy wearing a cap asked.
"Is that- Is that really you?" The girl wearing the bandana asked.
"ASH! MAY!" Usagi beamed. "You're both really here! Pikachu and Glaceon too!"
"USAGI!" Ash and May cried as they ran up to their old friend and hugged her.
"PIKACHU/GLACEON!" Pikachu and Glaceon cried and they nuzzled Usagi's legs.
"Usagi, is that really you?" The Gorgosaurus asked.
Usagi turned to him and took a good look at him. Then the realisation also filled her too. "Gorgon! It's you!" Usagi cried.
"Usagi!" Gorgon beamed happily, and he ran over to the others.
"It really is you!" Mamoru cried happily.
All the greetings are enthused and run over each other.
"How did you?" May asked Usagi.
"How did you?" Usagi asked. "Wow!"
"Where'd you come from?" Ash asked Usagi.
"Oh my god it's so great to see all of you!" Usagi beamed.
"Oh, it's so great to see you!" Gorgon beamed.
Téa on the other hand was baffled as her mouth hung open in shock. What was going on here?
"Hey what's going on here?" Téa asked, getting off the root and walking towards them.
But they paid no attention to her.
"What are you guys doing out here?" Usagi asked.
"What do you mean 'What are we doing here?'" Mamoru asked. "The real question is what are you doing here?"
"HEY! WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!" Téa yelled, and this time it caught their attention.
"Calm down Téa." Ami soothed.
"We're just as confused as you." Rei said.
"But you don't see us going crazy." Makoto said.
"So Usagi, who are all these guys?" Minako asked.
"Yeah, are they friends or foes?" Patchi asked, staring at Gorgon.
They all looked at the brunette and the quartet of girls.
"Téa, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako and Patchi these are Mamoru, Ash, May, Pikachu, Glaceon and Gorgon!" Usagi beamed. "They're my best friends!"
"Nice to meet you all." Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako greeted.
"Friends?" Téa and Patchi asked, while thoroughly confused.
"Yeah!" Usagi said.
"But how can this Gorgosaurus be your friend?" Patchi asked.
"It's a long story." Usagi said, then turned to Sunset. "Hey Sunset, come over here!"
Sunset finally manages to pull herself free from the root and looks back. "Hmm?" She wondered and approached them.
"Mamoru, Ash, May, Pikachu, Galceon and Gorgon this is Sunset. Sunset, Mamoru, Ash, May, Pikachu, Glaceon and Gorgon." Usagi said.
"Pleased to make your acquaintance." Sunset greeted with a bow.
"The pleasure's all ours." Mamoru said.
"You're Usagi's friend?" Gorgon asked.
"That's right!" Sunset said proudly.
"I just want to apologise for chasing you earlier." Gorgon said.
"Wait, you're sorry?" Patchi asked, confused.
"Yes I am." Gorgon said. "I'm also deeply sorry for attacking you too, Pachyrhinosaurus."
"Call me Patchi." Patchi said. "And I'm sorry too for almost breaking your arm."
"Apology accepted." Gorgon smiled. "From now on any friends of Usagi are friends of mine."
"Whoa! Whoa! Time out!" Téa said. "Lemme get this whole thing straight. You know them. They know you. But Gorgon wants to eat her. And everybody's… okay with this?" Téa asked, before she frustratedly jumped up in the air and yelled. "DID I MISS SOMETHING?!"
"Relax Téa." Usagi said.
"Wait until everyone finds out you've been here all this time!" Mamoru beamed. "And you father… What'll he think?"
That sentence brought back Usagi's memory of when her mother died, Louisa then said, 'Oh… what will your father think?'. That comment had now disturbed her. Usagi's expression then changed to a bothered look. But Usagi was misunderstanding what her father would actually say.
"He doesn't have to know." Usagi said being misunderstood. "In fact nobody needs to know."
"Well, of course they do!" Ash and May said. "Everyone back home thinks you're dead."
"They do?" Usagi asked.
"Yeah." Gorgon said. "Louisa told us all about the stampede."
"She did?" Usagi said, and that's when she starts to see something here. And it was very odd. "Well… What else did she tell you?"
"What else matters? You're alive." Mamoru said smiling. "And that means… You're the queen."
"The Queen of the Moon Lands." Ash and May said.
"Pikachu."
"Glaceon."
"One of the great queens of the Creatures." Gorgon said.
"Queen?" Téa asked, as she walked forward. "Pbbb. Ladies and gentlemen, have you got your fingers and claws crossed."
Sunset however seemed amazed. "Queen?" She asked."Your Majesty! I gravel at your feet." Then she kisses Usagi's Left Hand repeatedly. "Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!"
"Stop that!" Usagi said, feeling annoyed and pulled her hand away.
"It's not 'gravel' it's 'grovel'" Téa said to Sunset. "And don't she's not the Queen." But then she turned to Usagi and asked her. "Wait, are you?"
"No!" Usagi said.
"Usagi!" Mamoru said, feeling kind of shocked.
"No, I'm not the Queen!" Usagi said, and she began to walk off. "Maybe I was gonna be, but… that was a really long time ago."
"Let me get this straight." Téa said. "You're the Queen? And you never told any of us?"
"Look, I'm still the same gal." Usagi said, as she turned around.
"But with power!" Téa said, shaking her fist.
"Um, could you gals excuse us for a few minutes?" Mamoru asked, being apologetic.
Téa tapped Sunset and said. "Hey, whatever he has to say, he can say in front of us. Right Usagi?"
"Hmm." Usagi thought and then said. "Maybe you'd better go."
Téa was about to aghast by this, butthe she resigned. "It starts." Téa groaned. "You think you know a gal…" Then she and Sunset walk off.
Then Gorgon and Patchi looked at each other.
"So how long have you lived here?" Gorgon asked.
"I've lived here for all my life." Patchi said. "Me and my friend Juniper. Come on, I'll take you to meet her."
Patchi then takes Gorgon to meet his friend. As Ash, May, Pikachu and Glaceon walked off with Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako.
"We were wondering if you two could tell us about yourselves." Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako said.
"We'd love to." Ash and May said.
"So you see I first met May when Pikachu and I…" Ash said as they all walked off.
With all of them gone Usagi and Mamoru were now left alone.
Usagi sighed. "Téa and Sunset." Usagi said. "You learn to love 'em." Usagi then turned to Mamoru. But then she noticed that Mamoru had his head bowed down sadly. "What?" Usagi asked, as she walked over to him. "What is it?"
Mamoru was silent for a moment before he finally spoke. "It's like you're back from the dead." Mamoru said quietly. Then he looked at her. "You don't even know how much this'll mean to everyone." Then he looked back down with a pained expression and said. "What it means to me."
"Hey, it's okay." Usagi said.
Mamoru then wrapped his arms around Usagi and rubbed under her chin. "I've really, really missed you Usako." Mamoru said.
Usagi was startled by Mamoru's boldness for an instant, then she reciprocated.
"I've really, really missed you too Mamo." Usagi said.
Then the two adults were now rubbing their heads lovingly against each other.
Unaware that they are being watched by Téa and Sunset. It turned out that Téa and Sunset never really left them alone. They just watched them hidden from their view in the nearby bushes. Téa seemed disgusted by this, but Sunset didn't seem bothered.
Téa then heavily sighed. "Uh! I tell you Sunset, this stinks!"
"Oh sorry Téa." Sunset apologised.
"Not you. Them!" Téa said, pointing to the two adults.
Then Usagi and Mamoru walked off together and disappeared.
"Her. Him." Téa said. "Alone!"
"But what's wrong with that?" Sunset asked.
Then Téa starts to sing…
Téa singing: I can see what's happening
Sunset speaking: See what?
Téa singing: And they don't have a clue
Sunset speaking: Wait who?
Téa singing: They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two
Sunset speaking: Oh.
Téa then sings in a sarcastic mock-French accent.
Téa singing (French accent): Ze sweet caress of twilight
Then Téa sang back to her normal accent, but still sarcastic.
Téa singing: There's magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air
Then we go to Usagi and Mamoru as they are seen in front of a lovely magnificent waterfall. And we hear a female beginning to sing. As she sings, Usagi and Mamoru walk around the waterfall.
Female Singer singing: Can You Feel The Love Tonight
The peace the evening brings
The world for once in perfect harmony
With all its living things
After walking around each other, taking in each other's movements, they stop for a drink at the water's edge. Usagi was on one side and Mamoru was on the other. And now we hear Usagi and Mamoru's thoughts of what they're thinking about.
Usagi singing in her mind: So many things to tell him
But how to make him see
Usagi looked at Mamoru and he looked at her. Then Mamoru continued drinking, as Usagi then had a thought.
Usagi singing in her mind: The truth about my past, impossible
He'd turn away from me
Mamoru then looked up from his drink and looked at Usagi.
Mamoru singing in his mind: She's holding back, she's hiding
But what, I can't decide
Usagi looked at Mamoru, smiled and ran off. Mamoru was now curious about what she's doing.
Mamoru singing in his mind: Why won't she be the queen I know she is?
The queen I see inside?
Then Usagi runs back, grabs a vine with her hands and splashes right in the middle of the deep pond, as the chorus begins to sing.
Chorus singing: Can You Feel The Love Tonight?
Mamoru looked out over the still water. Suddenly Usagi lunged up under him, wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into the pond playfully. Mamoru gasped and he immediately climbed out of the pond and came out dripping wet. When Usagi came out, he smiled at her and pushed her back into the pond playfully.
Chorus singing: The peace the evening brings
Nearby Ash and May were also by the pond playfully splashing each other as they saw the couple play and have fun.
"You know, May I'm really glad I have a kind and caring girlfriend like you." Ash said.
"And I'm lucky and glad to have a kind and caring boyfriend like you Ashy." May smiled.
Then they both pressed their lips together and kissed while they were in the water.
Then we see Mamoru and Usagi running and chasing each other playfully through the fields.
Chorus singing: The world, for once, in perfect harmony
They chased each other and then they started play fighting. Which ended up with them tripping and then tumbling down a hillside.
Chorus singing: With all its living things
After tumbling down the hillside to the bottom, Usagi ended up pinning Mamoru for the first time in her life.
Chorus singing: Can You Feel The Love Tonight?
Then Mamoru gives her a tiny kiss on her cheek. Usagi looked startled and stared at Mamoru.
Chorus singing: You needn't look too far
Mamoru stared back at with a seductive smile. Usagi's expression then changed from a surprised one to a comprehending one. The two rubbed their heads lovingly then they closed their eyes and leaned forward towards each other.
Chorus singing: Stealing through the night's uncertainties
Then Usagi's and Mamoru's lips met and they shared a very passionate kiss. They were no longer best friends, but they were now a loving couple just like Ash and May. Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako were nearby and they awed at the scene with adorable eyes.
Chorus singing: Love is where they are
Then we go back to Téa and Sunset being tearful when they thought they lost their best friend.
Téa singing: (tearfully) And if she falls in love tonight
Sunset then sniffed.
Téa singing: (tearfully) It can be assumed
Sunset then hugged Téa tearfully.
Sunset singing: (tearfully) Her carefree days with us are history
Téa and Sunset singing: (tearfully) In short, our pal is doomed
Then they both started crying.
"WAAH! AH-HA-WAAH!" Téa and Sunset cried. They cried at full force, now knowing that they've now lost their best friend.
Minutes later Usagi and Mamoru were now walking along a log as the nighttime was closing in and the sun setting was now a purple hue. For the first time ever in her life Usagi had been living away from her past, she is now reunited with Mamoru. Her old best friend, now her lover. While they were walking together for a while Usagi finally spoke.
"Isn't this a really great place Mamo?" Usagi asked.
"It is beautiful, I admit it Usako." Mamoru said, but then he asked. "But I don't understand something. You've been alive all this time. Why didn't you come back to the Royal Moon Palace?"
"Well I just needed to… get out on my own." Usagi said, as she climbed into a 'hammock' of thick hanging vines. She sounds almost like she's trying to convince herself as well as Mamoru. "Live my own life." Usagi said as she sat in the vine hammock. "And I did. And it's really great."
"We've really, really needed you at home." Mamoru said, with his voice cracking as though barely under control.
"No one needs me." Usagi said quietly.
"Yes we do!" Mamoru said. "You're the queen!"
"Mamoru we've already been through this." Usagi said. "I'm not the queen. Louisa is."
Mamoru then placed his arms on the vine hammock. "Usagi, she let the Villains take over the Moon Lands."
Usagi then seemed shocked by this. "What?" She asked.
"Everything's destroyed!" Mamoru said, in a serious tone. "There's no food. There's no water. The mothers can't produce offspring. Many of the Creatures have left. The Carnivores are hungry. Usagi, if you don't do something soon, everyone will starve to death and die!"
"I can't ever go back." Usagi said, looking away from Mamoru.
"But why?" Mamoru asked loudly.
"You just wouldn't understand!" Usagi said, getting out of the vine hammock and walking away.
"But what wouldn't I understand?!" Mamoru asked.
"No, no, no. It doesn't even matter." Usagi said, hastily turning around. "Hakuna Matata."
"What?" Mamoru asked, being confused.
"Hakuna Matata." Usagi answered. "It's something I've learned out here." Usagi then walked forward and said. "Now look, sometimes bad things happen…"
"Usagi!" Mamoru said.
"...And there's nothing you can do about it." Usagi finished and walked away from Mamoru. "So why should I worry?"
Mamoru then trots after her and said. "Because it's your responsibility! That's why!" Mamoru said.
Usagi was now getting angry and then she had a thought.
"Well what about you?" Usagi questioned Mamoru. "You, Ash, May, Pikachu, Glaceon and Gorgon left!"
"We left to find help! And we found YOU!" Mamoru answered. "Don't you understand? You're our last and only hope!"
"Sorry." Usagi said, getting more irritated.
"What's happened to you?" Mamoru asked. "You're not the Usagi I remember."
"You're right. I'm not." Usagi said. "Now are you satisfied?"
"No." Mamoru said. "I'm just disappointed."
"You know what, you're starting to sound a lot like my mother." Usagi said, as she walked away again.
"Good." Mamoru said. "At least one of us does."
Usagi suddenly stopped and was obviously cut by that comment about her mother. How dare he talk about her mother like that? She turned around and teared into Mamoru angrily.
"LISTEN!" Usagi shouted. "You think you can just show up here and tell me how to live my life? You don't even know what I've been through!"
Usagi then started walking away again.
"I would if you'd just tell me!" Mamoru shouted.
"FORGET IT!" Usagi yelled.
"FINE!" Mamoru yelled back.
Usagi was now far away from Mamoru and in an open field. "He's wrong." Usagi said to herself, as she walked back and forth. "I can't go back. What would it prove, anyway? It won't change anything." Then Usagi started feeling more sad than angry. "You can't- you can't change the past." Then she looked up at the sky thinking about her mother again. She felt betrayed. The promise that her mother made to her, about being there for her even in death. She might've lied about it to her. "You said you'd always be there for me!" Usagi shouted at the sky. But then bows her head in sadness. "But you're not. And it's all because of me." Usagi then started to cry. "It's my fault. It's all my fault." She had always believed that it was her fault that her mother died, and she had always believed that it was her own. Losing some more tears, she cried for a moment.
Until she heard an odd chanting coming from the distance. She turned her head and saw a dark figure in the treetops. She was shaking the branches about, while still chanting. But the reality is that it is actually Kari doing the chanting. But Usagi didn't recognize her. But Kari continues to chant some kind of language.
Kari chanting: Asante sana!
Squash banana!
We we nugu!
Mi mi apana!
Usagi is getting slightly annoyed by the chant, so she gets to her feet and tries to get away. Kari's elated by the sight of Usagi, as she swung to the next branch and chuckled.
"He, he, heh, hehe, ha!" Kari chuckled and followed Usagi.
"What are you supposed to say when Hakuna Matata doesn't work?" Usagi asked herself, as she walked halfway across a log over a pond and lay down on it looking at her reflection.
Then suddenly a rock was thrown into the water catching her attention. Usagi looked up to see the same girl, now in another tree repeating the very same chant again. Usagi was now more annoyed than ever.
"Oh come on!" Usagi said, while getting up and walking away. "Will you cut that out?"
Kari laughed while doing some random acrobatics in the tree. "Can't cut it out!" Kari said, climbing to the ground and started following Usagi. "It'll grow right back!" She laughed again.
Usagi knew she was talking to her and not to the tree. "Crazy teenage girl." Usagi muttered to herself. Then she heard that Kari was still following her. "Will you stop following me already?" Usagi asked, while not looking back. "Just who are you?"
Then Kari appeared right out of nowhere right in front of Usagi. "The question really is: Whooo… are you?" Kari asked, as she leaned forward.
Usagi was surprised and startled by this comment. This girl might have a point about her.
Usagi then heavily sighed. "I thought I knew." Usagi said. "But now I'm not so sure."
"Well I know who you are." Kari said, as she brought Usagi close to her. "Shh. Come here. It's a secret."
Kari pulled Usagi's ear close to her mouth so she could whisper into it. Usagi was expecting to hear something about herself that she wanted to know. But instead, Kari started to chant in her ear. As she chanted she let go of Usagi and walked off chanting.
Kari chanting: Asante sana!
Squash banana!
We we nugu!
Mi mi apana!
"Enough already!" Usagi cried, now very irritated by the chanting. "What's that even supposed to mean anyway?"
"It means you're a Digi-Destined-" Kari said, looking at her. "And it means I'm not."
Usagi then started moving away from her again. "I think… you're a little bit confused."
"Wrong." Kari said, magically appearing in front of Usagi and poked Usagi's nose with her middle finger. "I'm not the one who's confused my friend."
"Oh, and I suppose you know who I am, don't you?" Usagi said moving away, being both sarcastic and irritated.
"Oh I know who you are." Kari said, with a smirk. "You're Serenity's Girl."
Usagi then stopped dead in her tracks when she heard her Mother's name. She was very surprised by this revelation. She looked back at Kari just in time to hear her say.
"Bye!" Kari said, running off and chanting as she ran.
"Hey, no! Wait! Wait!" Usagi cried, and chased after her.
This girl knew something about her mother, and Usagi was going to find out. She ran across the field until she caught up with her at the edge of the field. The Digi-Destined was now doing a meditation pose on a rock with her eyes closed.
"You knew my mother?" Usagi panted, coming by the rock.
"Correction-" Kari said. "I know your mother."
"I hate to tell you this but…" Usagi said, with her head down in pain as Kari opened her eyes. "She died. A really, really long time ago."
"Nope!" Kari said, and then suddenly leapt over the rock and over the the entrance of a dense jungle like area. "Wrong again!" Kari chuckled. "Ah, ha, ha, ha! She's alive!" Kari said, turning to Usagi. "And I'll show her to you! You just follow old Kari; she knows the way! Come on!" Kari said, as she disappeared into the jungle.
Usagi then went over to the entrance and saw just how dense it was. She looks back at the field but then reluctantly crawls into the jungle. Usagi immediately tried to chase after Kari, but it was a struggle as the jungle had many branches and roots close together. Usagi had to crawl through, over and under them as she tried to spot Kari.
After climbing over, crouching under and crawling through more roots she spotted her.
"Don't dawdle!" Kari said, in the canopy. "Hurry up!" Then she swings on a vine and out of sight.
"Hey, whoa!" Usagi cried, crawling through the roots. "Wait! Wait!"
Further ahead Kark had stopped on a branch and waited for Usagi, when she saw her she then leapt off. "Come on! Come on!" Kari said, leaping away.
Usagi had only stopped and then she had to run all over again. "Huh?" Seeing Kari swinging in the under story while singing, chanting, laughing, hollowing and whooping, Usagi quickly took off after her. But it wasn't easy as the jungle was dense, and she had a hard time keeping up with Kari.
"Hey!" Usagi cried. "Would you slow down!" Then Usagi tripped on one of the roots and landed on the forest floor. "Oooff!" She grunted, but she quickly got back on her feet and continued to chase Kari.
Hearing Kari's laughing, hollowing and whooping she had no trouble as she guessed Kari was in the emergent layer. Usagi then got tangled in some vines but quickly broke free and continued. She tripped a few more times but kept going. Then she briefly saw Kari swing by on a vine a couple times and then disappeared again. Usagi kept going as her face hit a leafy bush but she shook it off and kept running. Usagi kept on pushing her way through the dense jungle for another few seconds until she saw what looked like the end.
Suddenly Kari appeared with her right hand held up in her face.
"STOP!" Kari cried.
Usagi then skidded to a stop.
"Shhh!" Kari whispered, then she quietly leapt towards some reeds. Then she parted the reeds and pointed past them with her staff. "Look down here."
Usagi then quietly and carefully made her way out of the jungle. She then got to the reeds and was extremely nervous. She had not seen her mother for a very, very, really, really long time. But was she alive? Usagi had watched her die when she was only a young girl. She slowly approached the pond and looked over the edge and saw her reflection in the pool of water. She first seemed a bit startled, at her own mature appearance, but then she realised what she's looking at.
Usagi let out a disappointed sigh. "That's not my mother." Usagi said. "That's just my own reflection."
"Noo." Kari said, as she reached her right arm over Usagi's shoulder. "Look harder." Kari then touched the water with her staff and it created ripples.
Usagi looked closer and the ripples distorted Usagi's reflection. Then the reflection started turning into something or rather someone else. It began to take the shape as it resolved into a familiar face that Usagi could only recognise: her mother's face.
"You see?" Kari said. "She LIVES in YOU!"
Usagi was awestruck by this. Then she heard a deep rumbling sound and the wind quickly picked up. Then Usagi heard a voice that she had heard for a very, very really, really long time.
"Usagi…" The voice said quietly at first.
"Mother?" Usagi asked, as she looked up and saw the clouds approaching her.
Then something took shape in the clouds, and it took in the form of Queen Serenity as it was formed in the clouds. She appeared to be walking from the stars and towards Usagi. Usagi was once again awestruck by her mother. She couldn't believe what she was seeing right now. The image of Queen Serenity is ghostly at first, but steadily gains colour and coherence.
"Usagi, you have forgotten me." Queen Serenity said.
"No." Usagi said. "How could I-?"
"You have forgotten who you truly are and so you have truly forgotten me." Queen Serenity said. "Look deep inside yourself, Usagi. You are more than what you've become. You must take your place in The Circle of Life."
"But how canI go back?" Usagi asked. "I'm not who I used to be anymore!"
"Remember who you truly are!" Queen Serenity said, with her eyes glowing sapphire and is framed by swirling clouds, radiating a silver moonlight. "You are my Daughter, and the one true Queen!"
Usagi's face then began to show a mixture of awe, fear and sadness.
Then the image of Queen Serenity's face started to fade. "Remember why you truly are!" As the image of Queen Serenity's face disappeared rapidly in the clouds.
"No! Please!" Usagi cried, as she ran into the fields trying to keep up with her. "Don't leave me!"
"Remember…" Queen Serenity said.
"Mother!" Usagi cried.
"Remember…" Queen Serenity said.
"Don't leave me!" Usagi said, coming to a stop.
"I never left you. And I never will. Remember…" Queen Serenity said.
Then she finally disappears, and Usagi is left alone in the fields. There is just a single cloud left where her mother's image was. As the wind tossed the grass around restlessly, Usagi began to realise something. She's been running from her past for a really, really, very, very long time. But it'll only just continue to haunt her, and her family and home are now dying. Usagi knew now that she must return home and stop Louisa.
Then Kari approached. "What was THAT! Ha, Ha, ha! The weather- Pbbbah!" Then she faced Usagi. "Very peculiar. Don't you think?"
"Yeah." Usagi said. "It looks like the winds are changing."
"Ahhh.." Kari said. "Change is good."
"Yeah, but it's not easy." Usagi said. "I know exactly what I have to do now. But…" Usagi then looked nonreassuring in herself. "Going back means that I'll have to face my past." Usagi then looked away from Kari. "I've been running away from it for so long."
Then Kari whacked Usagi on the head with her staff.
"Oww! That really hurt!" Usagi cried, as she rubbed her head. "Jeez, what was that for?"
"It doesn't matter!" Kari chuckled. "It's now in the past. Ha, ha, ha, haha!"
"Well yeah, but it still really hurts." Usagi said.
"Oh yes, the past can hurt." Kari said, as she placed a hand on Usagi's shoulder. Then she took it off. "But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or… learn from it."
Kari then swung her staff at Usagi again but this time Usagi ducked her head and dodged it.
"Ahh! You see?" Kari asked, with a smile on her face. "So what are you going to do now?"
"Well first." Usagi said, with a smile on her face. "I'm gonna take your stick." Usagi then grabbed Kari's Staff with her hands.
"No, no, no!" Kari cried. "That's mine."
"If you want it." Usagi smirked. "Then go and get it!" Then she tossed Kari's Staff to the side.
"No, no, no!" Kari cried. "Not the stick!" She then ran over and grabbed her staff, but then she turned around and noticed Usagi running off. "Hey! Where are you going?!" Kari shouted.
"I'M GOING BACK!" Usagi shouted back, while running through the fields.
"Good!" Kari cheered. "Go on! Get out of here!" Kari then began to laugh and whoop. "Muahahahahaahah!" Her work here was done, and Usagi was going back. She began to hoot and holler as Usagi disappeared into the distance and the night. "Woooh! Hahahahhaa! Wooooooooooooooooooh! Wooooooooooooooooooh!"
At an early light the next morning, Téa along with Sunset, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Patchi and his friend Juniper who was a lighter colour of orange were sleeping in the foggy atmosphere. Téa was curled up on Sunset's back while Sunset laid flat on her stomach. Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako were sleeping in their sleeping bags as Patchi and Juniper slept with one another. While the quartet and Pachyrhinosaurs slept peacefully, Téa and Sunset were snoring.
In her snore Sunset occasionally mumbled "Bugs, Grubs."
Mamoru, Ash, May, Pikachu, Glaceon and Gorgon then appeared out of the fog and approached them.
"Hey. Hey, wake up." Gorgon said, as he gently nudged Téa with his snout.
Téa then started to stir awake. Then she sleepily opened her eyes to look at whoever's talking to her. But she only saw a large Gorgosaurus face in her face.
"AAAAHHHH!" Téa screamed, as the hair on her head started standing up.
"AAAAHHHH!" Sunset screamed, as she was woken up too.
The duo continued screaming loudly as it also woke Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Patchi and Juniper who didn't scream.
"It's OK." Gorgon cried, at the screaming duo. "Whoa, whoa! It's OK! It's just ME!"
"Oh!" Téa cried, as she climbed off Sunset's Back. "Don't ever, ever do that again! Carnivores, oy!"
"Patchi what's happening?" A voice asked.
"It's okay Alex." Patchi said. "It's just my new friend Gorgon."
"Well you sure know how to keep yourself calm eh Little Bro?" Another voice asked.
Then an Alexornis and another Pachyrhinosaurus with some green and orange markings came out.
"Who are you?" Gorgon asked.
"Gorgon, this is Alex and my big brother Scowler." Patchi said. "Alex and Scowler, Gorgon."
"Well, I'd thought I'd seen everything." Alex said. "But a friendly Gorgosaurus? Now I'm so surprised."
"Me too." Scowler said. "But what's all the screaming about?"
"Oh right." Mamoru said, getting back on track. "Have you gals seen Usagi?"
"No, we haven't seen her since yesterday." Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako said.
"I thought she was with you." Téa said, holding a hand to her head.
"Yeah, she was." Mamoru said. "But now, Ash, May, Pikachu, Glaceon, Gorgon and I can't find her anywhere. Where is she?"
Then they all heard laughter from in the trees. "Ho, ho, ho, ho!" They all looked to see Kari sitting on one of the tree branches above them. "You won't find her here!" Kari said then laughed. "Ha, ha, ha! The Queen… has returned."
"I can't believe it." Mamoru said, quietly to himself. Then he was louder and amazed. "She's gone back!"
"She's gone back home!" Ash cried.
"Pikachu!"
"She's going to face Louisa!" May cried.
"Glaceon!"
"She went back home!" Gorgon beamed.
"Gone back?" Téa asked as she got to her feet. "What do you mean?" Then she looked to the spot where Kari was at, but she was now gone. "Hey! What's goin' on here?" Téa asked. "Who's the girl?"
"Usagi's gone back to challenge Louisa!" Mamoru beamed.
"Who?" Téa asked.
"Louisa." Ash and May said.
"Who's got a Louisa?" Sunset asked.
"No, no, no. It's her auntie." Gorgon said.
"The girl's her auntie?" Téa asked.
"No!" Mamoru said. "Usagi's gone back to challenge her auntie and take her place as queen!"
"Oh." Téa and Sunset said, now realising.
"Wait!" Alex said. "If Usagi's gone back then she'll be all alone to face her auntie."
"You're right Alex!" Scowler said. "Let's go! I don't wanna miss that."
"Hold on guys!" Patchi said. "If Usagi's auntie has become queen, she might have an army to fight Usagi."
"Patchi you might be right!" Juniper gasped. "Usagi can't handle that all by herself!"
"Then what are we all standing around here for?" Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako asked. "Come on! We've gotta go to these Moon Lands and help our friend out!"
Meanwhile in the desert under the hot baking sun Usagi is seen as a silhouette in the distance running back to the Moon Lands. As she ran we see Usagi's legs running in slow motion up close. All the while she's running we hear a male background singer.
Background singer: Howstala histami
Howstala histami

Eventually Usagi arrived back in the Moon Lands. As Usagi finally made it back home, she slowly crossed the desolated land. Usagi was shocked by the sight of the Moon Lands looking like this, and there were bones of both Herbivores and Carnivores everywhere.
Usagi couldn't see a single sign of life. She was completely broken. How could Louisa do this to her home? And most of all, she let the Villains into the valley. She reached the lip of a cliff and looked out over her former home, the Royal Moon Palace, surrounded by a new vast wasteland. Seeing the desolation, a look of determination, even fury appeared on Usagi's face.
"USAGI! WAIT UP!" A voice said.
The blonde ordango looked back to see Mamoru, Ash, May, Pikacku, Glaceon and Gorgon running up to her and stood next to her.
"Look what Louisa's done to our beautiful home." Gorgon said to Usagi.
"This is what happens when the ruler only cares for herself." Ash and May said.
"It's awful isn't it?" Mamoru asked.
"I didn't want to believe you." Usagi said.
"What made you come back?" Mamoru asked.
"Well I finally got some sense knocked into me." Usagi said. "And I've got the bump to prove it too." Then she faced the Moon Lands again. "Besides this is my kingdom. If I don't fight for it then who will?"
"We will." Mamoru said.
"It's gonna be really dangerous." Usagi said.
"Danger?" Mamoru asked. "Ha! I laugh in the face of danger! Ha, ha, ha, ha!" He had quoted the same words that Usagi had said when she was young.
Then suddenly Daniel came flying by and he had a certain pair of Cats with Crescent Moon marks on their heads riding on his back.
"Luna look down there!" Artemis cried. "Is that who I think it is?"
"No way Artemis!" Luna gasped. "It just can't be her can it?"
"It is her!" Daniel cried as he flew down.
"Hey there Daniel." Gorgon said as the Dimorphodon landed.
Luna and Artemis got off Daniel and looked at the blonde ordango.
"Usagi?" They asked.
"Hello Luna. Hello Artemis." Usagi smiled.
The two Moon Cats' eyes then filled with happy tears as they ran up to Usagi and gave her a hug.
"Usagi!" Luna cried happily. "It really is you!"
"We've missed you so much!" Artemis added.
"I've missed you both too!" Usagi hugged back.
"Your Majesty." Daniel said, as he bowed. "Welcome home."
"Thank you Daniel." Usagi thanked him. "You two shouldn't have come out here. It's dangerous."
"Danger?" Luna and Artemis said. "Ha! We walk on the wild side! We laugh in the face of danger! Ha, ha, ha, ha!" The two quoted the same words Usagi said when she was young.
"I personally don't see nothing funny about this." Téa said, as she arrived with Sunset, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Patchi, Juniper, Scowler and Alex.
"Téa? Sunset? Ami? Rei? Makoto? Minako? Patchi? Juniper? Scowler? Alex?" Usagi asked surprised. "What are you all doing here?"
"We're at your service my Liege." Sunset said, while bowing.
"Look at this place." Alex said. "It's a mess."
"And there's not a single Creature here." Scowler snorted.
"What do you think? We came to help you, Usagi." Ami said.
"You're our friend, and friends stick together till the end." Rei smiled.
"You're our friend Usagi and we want to help you." Makoto added.
"Yeah you need all the help you can get to beat your auntie." Minako finished.
"Uh." Téa said, looking at the Moon Lands. "So we're gonna fight your auntie… for this?"
"Yes Téa." Usagi said. "This is my home."
"Wow, talk about an evil tyrant getting her comeuppance." Patchi said. "You up for this Juniper?"
"You bet I am!" Juniper said.
"Ffh. Talk about your fixer-upper." Téa said, then looked at Usagi. "Well Usagi, if it means that much to you, we're with you to the very end." Then she bowed.
Usagi smiled appreciatively. Then all of them looked across the horizon, viewing the work ahead of them as the storm clouds rolled in across the landscape.
They managed to make their way through the Moon Lands to the Royal Moon Palace without getting spotted. Now all they have to do is to find a way to get to Louisa. Usagi told Patchi, Juniper and Scowler to stay hidden until they needed help. Because due to their size and loud heavy footsteps, they can easily get spotted. Sneaking up to the edge of the Royal Moon Palace, they peek out from behind a log and observe a horde of Villains. There were different ones, but most of them were Carnoraptors and Spinoraptors. But they're blocking their path to the Royal Moon Palace, so they need to figure out a way to sneak past them.
"Villains." Téa whispered. "I hate Villains. Hybrid Dinosaurs most of all." Then she turned to Usagi. "So what's your plan for getting past those gals and guys?"
"Live bait." Usagi replied.
"That's a good idea." Téa said, but then she realised who's going to be live bait. "Heeey!"
"Come on Téa-" Usagi said. "You and Sunset need to create a diversion."
"What do you want me to do?" Téa inquired. "Dress in drag and do the hula?"
About 2 minutes later…
The Villains all heard the sound of upbeat drumming and turned around, to see Téa all dressed in a hula outfit. Sunset was next to her as she was dressed like a roast Pig, with an apple in her mouth. The music sung is the Hawaiian War Chant much like the Spike Jones arrangement. Then Téa began to sing…
Téa singing: Luau!
If you're hungry for a hunk of fat juicy meat
Téa climbed on Sunset's Back as she did her next line while Sunset smiled and opened her eyes.
Téa singing: Eat my buddy Sunset here because she is a treat
Téa then climbed off Sunset and continued to dance as the Villains started approaching them with their tongues out.
Téa singing: Come on down and dine
On this tasty find
All you gotta do is get in line
While the Villains are being drawn to them hungrily they forgot about their guard duty.
Téa singing: Aaaaare you achin'
Sunset singing: Yup, yup, yup
Téa singing: Foooor some bacen
Sunset singing: Yup, yup, yup
With the Villains distracted, Usagi, Mamoru, Luna, Artemis, Daniel, Ash, May, Pikachu, Glaceon, Gorgon, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako and Alex started to sneak past them and towards the Royal Moon Palace.
Téa singing: She a big Girl
Sunset singing: Yup, yup, yup
Téa singing: You can be a big Girl too
Téa and Sunset singing: Oy!
"AAAHHH!!!/YYYEEEAAAHHH!!!" Téa and Sunset screamed and they ran with some of the Villains after them.
The Villains chased them until they got to a cave and ran inside. But then the Villains heard three monstrous roars inside. They were so scared that they forgot about eating and started running away. The roars belonged to Patchi, Juniper and Scowler, they had managed to get past the villains and had gone inside the cave ready to help Téa and Sunset out.
"I'd say that diversion was a success." Sunset smiled.
"I just hope Usagi and the others got past safely." Téa said. "Come on Sunset, let's get ready for the battle ahead."
"Us too." The 3 Pachyrhinosauruses said.
And Usagi and the others did make it past them safely. Now they were right by the Royal Moon Palace.
"Mamoru, you find my father and rally our families." Usagi said. "Ash, May, you two Pikachu and Glaceon gather the guards, Gorgon, you Daniel, Alex, Luna and Artemis rally our loyal Carnivores." Then she determinedly said. "Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako and I'll look for Louisa!"
"Okay Usagi." Luna and Artemis agreed.
"Be careful Usagi." Gorgon said.
With that the group split up into their teams and disappeared. Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako start to make their way up the Royal Moon Palace. Then they stopped when they heard Louisa at the top of the Royal Moon Palace.
"ATEM!" Louisa roared as her voice echoed.
Usagi then gasped and watched as her father started to head up to Louisa. As he moved past the Villains some of them then snapped at his heels. But he only glared disdainfully at them. Usagi watched as her father made the climb. He ascended the Royal Moon Palace and approached Louisa.
"Yes Louisa?" Atem asked.
"Where is your hunting party?" Louisa asked, pacing back and forth. "They're not doing their jobs!"
"Louisa, there's no food or water." Atem said. "The Herds have all moved on and left."
"No!" Louisa glared at him. "You're just not looking hard enough!"
"It's all over." Atem said. "There is nothing left. We have but only one choice. We must leave the Moon Lands."
"We're not going anywhere!" Louisa said, facing him.
"Then you have sentenced us to death!" Atem shot back.
"Then so be it!" Louisa said, getting past him.
"You can't do that!" Atem said being disgusted.
"I am the Queen!" Louisa said. "I can do whatever I want!"
"If you were half the Queen Serenity was you'd-" Atem started.
"I'M TEN TIMES THE QUEEN SERENITY WAS!" Louisa yelled and she punched King Atem and he hit the ground.
Then Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako appeared on the ledge, with Usagi shrieking very loudly. Louisa gasped when she saw her. Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako jumped out and ran over to Usagi's Father.
Louisa then mistook Usagi for Queen Serenity and is understandably frightened. "Serenity?" Louisa asked in fear, as she backed up. "No. You're dead!"
Usagi then approached her father and nudged him, which woke him up, but he also mistook Usagi for Queen Serenity like Louisa did.
"Serenity?" King Atem asked.
"No Dad. It's me." Usagi said.
Atem then got a better look at her. "Usagi, you're alive." King Atem said in delight. Then he became confused and asked. "But how can that be?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm home." Usagi said, hugging her father.
Louisa then noticed Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako by Usagi. "What? How can they still be alive?" She thought, then she got a better look at Usagi. "Usagi…?" She asked. "Usagi!" She then chuckled. "I'm a little bit surprised to see you again…" Then she looked up at the same three Villains above her with an angry look and said. "...alive!"
On the word 'alive', Kurata, Matori and Ranamon gulped audibly and slinked into the shadows.
"Give me one very good reason why I shouldn't rip you apart!" Usagi said angrily, as she moved towards Louisa as Atem looked on in pride.
"Oh, Usagi, you must understand." Louisa said being apologetic, while also being backed up against a wall. "The pressures of ruling an entire kingdom…"
"...Are now no longer yours!" Usagi said. "Step down Louisa!"
"Oh, oh, ye- Well I would like to step down, heh naturally heh-." Louisa chuckled nervously. "But however, there is one itty, bitty, teeny, weeny, tiny, little problem. You see all of them?" Louisa asked, while pointing her finger up. Usagi looked up and saw a huge horde of hungry Villains above her staring her down. "They think that I'M the Queen."
"Well we don't!" A voice said. Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako and Louisa looked to see Mamoru, Gorgon, Luna, Artemis, Daniel, Ash, May, Pikachu, Glaceon and Alex with Usagi's family, the castle guards and a whole horde of the Moon Lands' Carnivores. The ones loyal to Queen Serenity. "Usagi's the rightful Queen!"
"Your reign's finally over Louisa!" Ash said.
"Pikachu!"
"Usagi's the one and only true Queen!" May added.
"Glaceon!"
"She deserves it more than you ever do!" Luna, Artemis, Daniel and Alex cried.
"If you want to get to her, then you've gotta get past us first!" Gorgon said, then he turned to the Loyal Carnivores. "Are you with me Carnivores?"
The Carnivores loyal to Queen Serenity roared in agreement as Ash and May helped King Atem back on his feet.
"The choice is all yours Louisa." Usagi said. "You either step down or you fight!"
"Oh must this all end in violence?" Louisa asked as she walked past Usagi. "I'd really hate to be responsible for the death of a family member." Then she turned her head to face her 'niece'. "Wouldn't you agree with me Usagi?"
"That's not gonna work on me anymore Louisa!" Usagi said. "I've finally put it behind me."
"Eh, but what about your loyal and faithful subjects?" Louisa asked, approaching everyone loyal to Usagi. "Have they put it behind them?"
"Usagi, what is she talking about?" Mamoru asked.
"Ahh I see." Louisa said in delight, as she circled Usagi. "So you haven't told them your little secret yet. Well Usagi, now's your chance to tell them." Louisa said as everyone looked at her. "Tell them who is responsible for Serenity's death!"
Louisa's last sentence caused all the Creatures loyal to Usagi to concentrate on her, as the thunder crashed. Usagi steels herself for a moment, then she takes a step forward. "I am." She said in shame.
The Creatures loyal to Usagi were shocked by what she said and Atem approached his daughter.
"It's not true!" Atem said with much grief. "Please tell me that it's not true!"
"It's true." Usagi said regretfully.
"You see? She admits it!" Louisa said, as the lightning flashed behind her. "Murderer!"
"No! It was just an accident!" Usagi protested.
"If it weren't for you Serenity would still be alive! It's all your fault she's dead!" Louisa said, as she walked around and around Usagi accusing her. "Do you deny it?"
"No!" Usagi said.
"Then… you're… GUILTY!" Louisa said severely.
"No. I'm not a murderer!" Usagi protested, as more lightning flashed.
Louisa is now backing Usagi up to the ledge of the balcony of the Royal Moon Palace. "Oh no Usagi, you're in trouble again!" Louisa said, as she and some of the Villains approached her. "But only this time, Mommy isn't here to save you!" Louisa continued as Usagi got closer and closer to the edge of the balcony. "And now EVERYONE… KNOWS… WHY!" Louisa yelled. After her last sentence, Usagi slipped over the edge and tried to hold onto the ledge.
"Oh woah!" Usagi cried as she slipped and held onto the ledge.
"USAGI!" Mamoru, Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako yelled.
The lightning then struck the dried up ground below, igniting a big fire. As Usagi tried to climb back up, Louisa pretended to think.
"Now let me see here. This looks awfully familiar." Louisa thought out loud. "Hmmm. Now where have I seen something like this before I wonder?" Usagi struggled to maintain her grip as she looked at Louisa. "Let me think. Hmmm, hmmm." Then it came to her. "Oh yes, I remember now! This is just the way your mother and your four new girlfriends parents looked before they died."
Usagi then slightly slipped as she heard this. "Wha?" Usagi asked.
Then Louisa pounced forward with her sharp nails out and placed them on Usagi's hands like she did with Queen Serenity before. Usagi whimpered in pain by her sharp nails. "And here's all MY little secrets." Louisa said to Usagi, then she leaned in closer to Usagi's ear and whispered into it. "I'm the one who killed Ami Mizuno, Rei Hino, Makoto Kino and Minako Aino's parents and I killed Serenity."
Usagi then had a quick memory flashback to both the night she was in Hakuna Matata Jungle and to that fateful instant. Realisation filled her face and she became angry. "NoooooOOO!" Usagi yelled, with one giant leap she lunged up, pulled herself back up on the balcony and pinned Louisa down on her back with her hands at her throat. "MURDERER!" Usagi yelled.
The Creatures then gasped and Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako looked at Usagi with concern. Louisa however was caught off guard, completely by surprise and is understandably very nervous and shaken.
"No Usagi please!" Louisa begged.
"Tell them the truth!" Usagi ordered. "And tell Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako what you did!"
"The truth?" Louisa asked. "But the truth is in the eye of the beholdllgkkk!" She was interrupted by Usagi pressing her left hand on her throat, ready to choke her. "All right. Gah! All right! I did it, and I killed them."
"So they can hear you!" Usagi said threateningly.
"GGRR! I KILLED AMI MIZUNO, REI HINO, MAKOTO KINO AND MINAKO AINO'S PARENTS!" Louisa said begrudgingly but clear. "AND I KILLED SERENITY!"
"WHAT!" Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako cried. "YOU KILLED THEM! MURDERER!"
Then Mamoru, Ash, May, Pikachu, Glaceon and Atem charge towards Louisa. The Villains seeing the right time attacked, and they pounced on Usagi as she screeched in pain but their attack. "CARNIVORES! ATTACK!" Gorgon roared and charged.
Soon Usagi's Family, all the guards, the servants and all the Loyal Carnivores charged and started to beat the Villains up. At the front of the group the Villains were still beating up Usagi as she tried to swat them away.
"USAGI!" Mamoru cried and charged, he tackled the Villains off Usagi and punched them. Then Usagi yelled for help and Patchi, Scowler and Juniper appeared and started ramming the Villains with their thick noses. Just as another Hybrid and Gizumon were about to attack Usagi, they were stopped by Ash, May, Pikachu and Glaceon punching and using Iron Tail. Gorgon then battled against an Indominus Rex hard as he did, the Hybrid knocked him onto his side but before it could kill him, Patchi then rammed the Hybrid from behind off Gorgon and then broke one of its arms when it was in his frill. The Indominus roared in immense pain as Scowler and Juniper then threw a Dilophosaurus Rex at the Indominus and they both fell off the side of the Royal Moon Palace.
Then Téa and Sunset Shimmer came charging in with Téa on Sunset's back. "HE-YAW!" They yelled heading for the fighting pile. They ran through the pile knocking several Villains into the air like bowling pins. "Excuse me! Pardon me! Coming through!" Téa yelled as they got to the end, she jumped off Sunset and knee dived a Gizumon AT, and Sunset Horse-kicked a Team Rocket Grunt." HOT STUFF!" Téa yelled. They looked fierce as they then went off to kick some more villain butt.
Usagi then chased some more Gizumons as another Team Rocket Grunt followed her. Usagi then punched him as more Grunts arrived, Usagi fought them off as best she could, but she didn't see a Spinoraptor on the ledge behind her. The Hybrid Raptor then pounced and bit down on her arm. Usagi screamed in pain, but the Raptor was whacked off by a familiar staff. Usagi looked up to see Kari on the cliff and the other Digi-Destines and their Digimon Partners arrived.
"WAHAH!" Kari battle cried. Then Kari jumped down and joined the fray. Kari was surrounded by several Myotismons, and Kari's in a kung-fu stance. The Myotismons chuckled thinking she was a defenceless teen. But that changed when they attacked her and Kari beat them all into submission by kicking, punching and pounding them with her staff in kung-fu style. "Whah! Hyah! Huh! Tata! Cha! Ha cha! Sha! Ha! Chai!" Kari grunted and hit the last one with a punch to the nose.
"Come on guys!" Davis said. Let's give these Villains a kicking they'll never forget!"
"Yeah!" They replied.
"FIRE ROCKET!"
"TEMPEST WING!"
"GOLD RUSH!"
"SPIKING STRIKE!"
"TERROR FORCE!"
"WOLF METAL CLAW!"
"WING BLADE!"
"HORN BUSTER!"
"FLOWER CANNON!"
"VOLTEN'S HAMMER!"
"HAND OF FAITH!"
"CELESTIAL ARROW!"
All the Digi-Destines Digimon Partners attacks struck the Villains, hurting them even more.
Meanwhile Usagi was now cornered by Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite and Kunzite, and they were looking ready to finish her.
"Nowhere to run now princess!" Jadeite said.
"Nowhere to hide either!" Nephrite added.
"You can't escape from us now!" Zoisite chuckled.
"Yeah, nobody can stop us!" Kunzite finished.
"LEAVE USAGI ALONE!" 4 voices called.
Suddenly Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako came out of nowhere and tackled the four Villains to the ground.
"ALL THIS TIME WE WERE SAD BECAUSE OUR PARENTS WERE KILLED BY YOUR LEADER!" Ami shouted.
"WE'VE BEEN BLAMING OURSELVES THINKING IT WAS OUR FAULT EVER SINCE!" Rei shouted.
"BUT NOW WE KNOW THE TRUTH AND WE'RE NOT GONNA LET YOU HURT OUR FRIEND!" Makoto shouted.
"BECAUSE USAGI'S GIVEN US SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T FELT FOR YEARS AND THAT'S FRIENDSHIP!" Minako shouted.
"AND WE'RE GONNA USE IT TO TAKE YOU 4 DOWN!" They all shouted together. Then suddenly on Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako's foreheads appeared a different symbol.
"What's going on? I feel stronger." Ami gasped.
"Me too. I feel a different power coursing through my body." Rei gasped.
"I feel like this power's been awakened after so long." Makoto gasped.
"Our bond of friendship must've activated it." Minako gasped.
Then they turned to the 4 Villains and then they fired their now found power at them.
"SHINE AQUA ILLUSION!"
"BURNING MANDALA!"
"SPARKLING WIDE PRESSURE!"
"LOVE ME CHAIN!"
Jadeite, Nephlite, Zoisite and Kunzite then screamed in pain as they ran off with the quartet following them.
"YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY FROM US THAT EASILY!" Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako shouted.
But now most of the Villains had realised they'd lost and were now running away from the Royal Moon Palace, as Mamoru, Ash and May tossed some of the Villains into the fire. The Loyal Carnivores then started to chase them away,
Téa was currently being chased by Kurata and Matori. "AH!" Téa yelled, as she jumped dodging Matori's snapping jaws. The two Villains chased Téa into the cave. Inside Zozu was still trapped in her cage, she saw Téa outside her cage as she ran towards it for safety from the Villains.
"Let me out of here! Let me out of here!" Zozu begged.
"Let me in there now! Let me in there now!" Téa cried, as she got in the cage with her.
The two Villains approached the cage and started snickering as Téa and Zozu hugged each other in fear.
"Ple-he-hease don't eat me!" Téa pleaded to the Villains.
"Problem!" A voice called. The Villains looked over to see Sunset Shimmer at the cave's entrance.
"Ey, who's the brat?" Matori asked.
"Are you talking to me?" Sunset asked.
"Uh-oh." Téa said, as Kurata and Zozu looked at her. "They called her a brat!"
"Are you talking to me?" Sunset asked, as her face turned red.
"Shouldn't have done that." Téa said.
"ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?!" Sunset yelled.
"Now they're in for it." Téa said, rolling her eyes.
"THEY CALL ME…. MISSSSSEEESSSS BRAT! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Sunset yelled and then charged forward. Matori and Kurata gasped as Téa and Zozu held onto each other.
Outside the cave Ranamon could hear Sunset beating up the Villains while saying some random things, with all the crashing sounds going on inside, as rocks and bones came flying out. "Take that you stupid! Oooohhhh! Take this! And that! And that! And then that and that! Oh! Ah!" Téa and Sunset said, as outside Ranamon was hit by a rock on the head. She rapidly jumped, ducked, and dodged the bones and rocks as they came flying out. Eventually Kurata and Matori came out running, they crashed into Ranamon and they were all in a pile. They sprinted in fear as they heard their attackers getting closer, they whimpered in fear before they all ran off in different directions.
"WHHOOO!" Téa cried in victory, as she Sunset and a now freed Zozu came out of the cave cheering. "AH! YOU YELLOW BELLY!" Sunset cheered.
"WAHOO! HOO! HOO! HOO!" Téa, Sunset and Zozu cheered in victory.
As the battle went on Usagi was on the cliff side looking around for Louisa. Then she spots her trying to sneak away, as the lightning flashed. Usagi then growled and chased after her. Louisa sees her coming and runs with Usagi chasing her. Louisa ran up to the highest point of the Royal Moon Palace. She jumped through the wall of fire hoping to find an escape route, but Louisa reached the top and skidded to a halt. She looked down over the edge and saw the sheer drop she was now trapped and there was no escape. Looking back she saw Usagi had jumped through the wall of fire and slowly approached her.
"Murderer." Usagi said, quietly and severely.
Louisa was now very apprehensive, seeing she's now cornered and at Usagi's mercy.
"Usagi, Usagi!" Louisa begged now, very scared. "Please. Please! Have mercy! I beg you!"
"You don't deserve to live." Usagi said, still advancing forward. Louisa was now unsure of her tactics.
"But, Usagi, I… am… ah… family remember?" Louisa said nervously. Then she regained her composure. "It's the Villains! Who are the real enemies!" Louisa said, as Usagi got closer. Unfortunately for her, Kurata, Matori and Ranamon were on the other side of the wall of flames. They had overheard her and growled at Louisa's betrayal as they backed away. "It was all their fault- It was all their idea!"
"Why should I ever believe you anymore?" Usagi asked, as she approached Louisa as she was now very, very, very scared. "Everything that you ever told me was nothing more than a lie!"
"What are you going to do?" Louisa asked nervously. "You wouldn't kill your one and only old 'auntie' would you…"
"No Louisa." Usagi said, staring her down. "I'm not like you."
"Oh Usagi, thank you." Louisa sighed. "You're truly noble. I'll make it up to you I promise." Louisa then got back on her feet. "Just tell me how I can prove myself to you? Tell me. I mean anything. Whatever you want I'll do it."
"Run." Usagi said gravely, and in deep anger. Louisa then remembered that it was the very same thing she told Usagi before when the blonde ordango was young. "Run away Louisa, and never, ever, ever return."
"Yes." Louisa said nervously, as she slunk away, with Usagi staring her down. "Of course." Usagi watched as her 'auntie' started to leave. "As you wish…" Louisa said, then she noticed some embers by a burning tree branch. "...your Majesty!" Then she kicked the embers into Usagi's face.
"AH! AH!" Usagi screamed in pain. "UAH!"
Usagi rubbed her face with her hand and Louisa took this opportunity to pounce and attack her. Usagi and Louisa wrestled each other on the ground. Louisa roared as she pinned Usagi by the edge of the Royal Moon Palace but Usagi whacked her away with her fist and regained her vision. In slow motion Usagi and Louisa lunge at each other and battering each other with their fists. Louisa then striked Usagi's shoulder, as she screamed in pain. Then Usagi hits Louisa's face with her fist as she moans in pain. Louisa then hits Usag's face with her fist as she moans in pain.
The slow motion stops and Louisa then hits Usagi's face again, this time knocking her to the ground. Usagi looked up and in slow motion again, Louisa leaped through the flames towards Usagi ready to kill her. The slow motion stops again Usagi gathers her courage and uses Louisa's momentum in a toss similar to Mamoru's fighting style to send her over the edge. Louisa then tumbles end over end down the Royal Moon Palace and lands at the bottom very hard.
Usagi looked over the edge to see what had become of her ex-auntie. Louisa had been badly hurt but she weakly got up. She then sees Kurata, Matori and Ranamon approaching her with angry looks on their faces and smiles.
"Ahh, my dear friends." Louisa said smiling.
"Friends? Frie-he-hends?" Kurata asked. "I thought she said we were the enemies."
"Oh yeah!" Matori said, as Louisa realised they had heard her earlier. "That's exactly what I heard."
Then they turned to Ranamon. "Ranamon?" They asked.
Ranamon then laughed evily and she licked her lips ready for dinner. Then more and more Villains appeared and approached Louisa angrily. Louisa's face was now filled to the brim with horror by what she'd done.
"No! Let… L-L-Le-Le-L-L-L-Let me explain! No! You don't understand!" Louisa cried, looking around frantically as the Villains surrounded her. "No! I didn't mean to… No! No! Look, I'm sorry I called you… No! No! NNNNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!" Louisa cried as now we see only the shadows of the horde of Villains closing in and devouring Louisa alive.
As the flames of the fire on the Royal Moon Palace continued to burn, until the rain finally came down and put the fire out. Leaving the entire area in a cloud of smoke and steam. All the Villains had left the Moon Lands and were never coming back. Téa and Sunset Shimmer emerge through the smoke as they look at the rain. At the Royal Moon Palace Usagi appeared coming down to greet her family.
Zozu was nearby and she bowed to Usagi. "Your Majesty." Zozu bowed.
Usagi soon arrived back down and was greeted by the Moon Lands' Carnivores as they bowed down to her. Ash and May were nearby and Usagi gave them a hug.
"Usagi, we're so proud of you!" Ash smiled.
"Your mother would be very proud of you!" May smiled.
"Pika, Pikachu!"
"Glac, Glaceon!"
"Thanks guys." Usagi thanked.
Usagi then went over to her family and they all smiled for her. Usagi then hugged her father, and then Mamoru and Usagi hugged each other lovingly. Then they all heard the clatter of Kari's Staff. They looked up to see Kari motioning for Usagi to ascend to the top of the Royal Moon Palace as Queen. Usagi started to go up and then paused to look at Téa, Sunset, Patchi, Juniper, Scowler and Alex. All six of them bowed down to her and then they and Usagi hugged together in friendship.
"I couldn't have done it without you my friends." Usagi said. Then she continued to the top and then she noticed Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako by Kari.
"USAGI!" They cried.
"GIRLS!" Usagi cried. They embraced each other in a hug. "I couldn't have won this without you!"
"We're just so glad you're safe Usagi!" Ami cried.
"You're the greatest friend ever!" Rei cried.
"We promise you can count on us from now on!" Makoto cried.
"We'll always be here for you now and forever!" Minako cried.
"And you will." Usagi said. "In fact Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako, because of your brave efforts and your courage, and my first act as the Queen of the Moon Lands, I'm going to promote you girls to be my generals!"
"Really Usagi?" The quartet asked. "We're your generals now?"
"Yes!" Usagi said. "Do you wanna be?"
"We'd be happy to be your generals Usagi!" Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako said.
"Okay!" Usagi said, as she held up the Legendary Silver Crystal high above the girls. "Ami, you'll be protected by Mercury the Planet of Water, you're the Guardian of Wisdom, from now on you'll be known as General Sailor Mercury!" Then Ami gasped as she was now wearing a blue dress. "Rei, you'll be protected by Mars the Planet of Fire, you're the Guardian of War, from now on you'll be known as General Sailor Mars." Then Rei gasped as she was now wearing a red dress. "Makoto, you'll be protected by Jupiter the Planet of Thunder, you're the Guardian of Protection, from now on you'll be known as General Sailor Jupiter." Then Makoto gasped as she was now wearing a green dress. "And Minako, you'll be protected by Venus the Planet of Beauty, you'll be the Guardian of Love, from now on you'll be known as General Sailor Venus." Then Minako gasped as she was now wearing a yellow dress.
"We won't let you down Usagi!" Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako said as they bowed.
"I know you won't." Usagi said, then she looked at Kari, who bowed for her. Then Usagi brought Kari in for an embrace just like her mother did.
"It is time." Kari said.
Usagi then smiled as she began to ascend to the top. Ash, May, Pikachu, Glaceon, Gorgon, Atem and Mamoru watched in awe. Usagi then slowly and steadily made her way to the top. Zozu, Luna and Artemis watched in awe as the blonde ordango made her way to the top, as did Téa, Sunset, Patchi, Scowler, Juniper and Alex as Usagi's feet step by step up to the top.
The rain then washed the skull of an Animal away. As Usagi finally made it to the top, she looked up at the sky and saw a hole in the clouds where she saw a patch of stars. One bright star shines out briefly.
"REMEMBER!" Those were her mother's words that are in Usagi's mind.
And Usagi remembered who she truly was. One of the great Queens of the Creatures. Usagi's expression gains both confidence and strength, then she lets out a majestic roar.
"ROAR!" Usagi roared loudly and proudly.
Then the Carnivores below let out their own roars.
"ROAR!" They all roared.
Then the chorus of a male background singer comes in.
Male Background singer: Busa le lizwe bo
Busa le lizwe bo
A few years later the Moon Lands had now been restored to their former glory. The green trees and grass were now blowing against the wind. The creeks, rivers, lakes and ponds were flowing with water again. And all the other Creatures had finally returned home and the hunting was good again too.
Male background singer: Busa le lizwe bo. Lethu busa ngoxolo
Is'khathi sifikile.
Se fi le.
Is'khathi busa iyo.
Baba ti tabo.
Is'khathi sifikile.
Maye babo
Busa ilomhlaba
In fact a large gathering of them are at the Royal Moon Palace, waiting for the presentation of Usagi's new heir. Usagi and Mamoru were now married and Mamoru became King of the Moon Lands. Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako had become Usagi's generals and Ash and May's best soldiers. Usagi's Father Atem, resigned from being king and is now living a normal life. Téa, Sunset, Patchi, Scowler, Juniper and Alex had decided to leave Hakuna Matata Jungle and stay in the Moon Lands with Usagi. Gorgon and Patchi had even become best friends.
As the gathering of Creatures surrounded the Royal Moon Palace they were all cheering. The Mammothmons and Donphans trumpeted happily, the Zebstrikas and Quaggas brayed and stamped their hooves in joy, the GeoGreymons and T-Rexes roared happily, the Megaloceroses and White Tailed Deers latted in joy the Dimorphodon and Petinosauruses flew around happily and the Aipoms, Lemurs and Apemons cheered and leaped up and down.
As the Creatures below cheered for their Queen and King, Usagi, Mamoru, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Luna, Artemis, Téa, Sunset, Patchi, Scowler, Juniper, Gorgon, Ash, May, Pikachu and Glaceon are all on the point of the Royal Moon Palace, as Alex, Daniel and Zozu flew around them. Téa was seen on Sunset's Head waving her arms in a victory pose.
All the Creatures continued cheering, roaring and calling as the presentation of Usagi began.

Then the main chorus starts.
Full Chorus: 'Til we find our place
On the path unwinding
Usagi and Mamoru then nuzzled each other lovingly. Kari then appeared holding their young baby girl and a baby boy. A new heir to the throne.
Full Chorus: In the Circle
The Circle of Life
Kari then exchanges glances with Usagi and Mamoru and she holds up the two young kids for the whole crowd to see.
Full Chorus: Circle of… Liiiife
The Circle of Life is now complete.
The End.
