Chapter 5

Max Goof sat in the command chair of the Astro MegaShip and tried to assimilate what he had just learned. A few minutes earlier, former Walt Disney Company vice-president Roy E. Disney said that one of the last threats to the tyranny of Disney Chairman/C.E.O. Michael D. Eisner-House of Mouse Security Chief Kim Possible-had fallen to Eisner's evil. Max also learned that the only way Eisner's victims could be resurrected was to make sure that his wedding to Roxanne occurred as planned. Max wished that time passed quicker, not just for his and Roxanne's sakes, but for the sake of the entire Disney world.

In Loftonia Sector, Roxanne walked up to the gates of the castle. A guard stood watch. "Halt," the guard commanded. Then, he saw Roxanne. "Madam Martin, Princess Belle has awaited your arrival. This way, please."

Roxanne was led into the sitting room. Mrs. Potts, the cook, brought Roxanne a cup of Dar Jeeling tea as Belle and Prince Robert walked in. "Hello, Roxanne," Belle said. "I am so happy to hear that you're okay." "Yes," Prince Robert said. "We heard about the attack on the Astro MegaShip." "Speaking of which," Roxanne said, "have you found the culprits?" "I'm afraid we have," Belle said. "Gaston, Maleficent, all of this world's worst villains. And, their leader is Michael Eisner." "Get the hell out of here," Roxanne exclaimed.

"It's true," Prince Robert said. "Roy Disney has requested that all good characters attend your wedding at the Tsukiji bathhouse in 4 days. He said that if the wedding occurs as it is planned, Eisner's victims will return to this physical plane." "Eileen Stevens and her family, Jett Jackson, the Monday Night Football Club..." Roxanne said, listing the victims of the tyrannical Disney chairman. "Even my friend Lizzie McGuire has fallen."

"It gets worse," Belle said. "Word has it that Kim Possible died trying to destroy Mr. Eisner." Roxanne started crying. Belle told Mrs. Potts to fetch a cup of herbal tea. "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!" Roxanne exclaimed. "Kim Possible is gonna be the last victim! Crane Zord, energize!" Roxanne disappeared as Mrs. Potts came in the sitting room. "Your Highness, is there a problem?" she asked. "Mrs. Potts, make plans for our immediate departure. Our destination... Tsukiji Sector," Belle said. "Yes, ma'am," Mrs. Potts said.

On the Bridge of the MegaShip, Max turned in his chair as Ashley said, "Max, Roxanne is hailing." "On screen," Max said. "Max, I wanna get married tomorrow," Roxanne said. "Are you serious?" Max asked. "You're damn right I'm serious," Roxanne said. "All right," Max said. "Ashley, hail Yubaba. Tell her the timetable for our wedding has been accelerated... to tomorrow. Andros, update the invitations accordingly." "Aye, sir," Andros and Ashley said. "See you at the altar tomorrow," Max said. "I can't wait," Roxanne said. The viewscreen went blank. "Attention, all hands. We have a wedding to go to," Max said. "Chad, alter course to Tsukiji sector." "Tsukiji Sector. Aye, sir," Chad said.

The news of Max and Roxanne's wedding taking place the next day blazed all across the Disney world. On Mesogog's island, Eisner turned to Elsa. "I should kill you for killing Kim Possible and thus screwing up my plan," Eisner said. "Yes, my lord," Elsa said. "But," Eisner said, "You may yet save your skin." Eisner said. "I want you to imitate Roxanne and cancel the wedding." Eisner handed Elsa a changeling belt. "It has been programmed to imitate Roxanne's voice and the Mighty Morphin' Pink Ranger suit. I've set Holosuite 1 to imitate the cockpit of the Crane Zord." Elsa nodded, then left. Zeltrax, Mesogog's second in command, said, "My lord, what if Max asks 'the question?'" "Then," Eisner said, "we're in trouble, Zeltrax."

On the Bridge of the Astro MegaShip, Max smiled as Roxanne appeared on the viewscreen. "I thought we weren't supposed to see each other until the wedding," Max said. "Max, we're gonna have to put off the wedding for good." "All right, Roxanne. But, before I go, I have a question to ask. When did you first start to love me?" When the person on the screen hesitated to answer, Max smiled. "Just what I thought. Close channel." The viewscreen went blank. On Mesogog's island, Elsa swore to herself. "My lord, he knew it wasn't Roxanne." Eisner smiled.

The Astro MegaShip landed at Tsukiji as the sun set and the shops in the village opened up. On the Bridge, Max turned to the crew. "Please join me in my room in thirty minutes for a bachelor party," Max said. The male Rangers nodded. "I'm sure Roxanne has got a bachelorette party planned, so wait for her transmission," Max said to the female Rangers.

As the Crane Zord and the Jet Force fighters landed at the bathhouse, Roxanne opened the package she got from Ariel. Inside was the dress Ariel wore to her wedding to Prince Eric, along with a computer disk. Roxanne inserted the disk into the Crane Zord's control panel. A holographic image of Ariel appeared. "Hello, Roxanne," the image of Ariel said. "If you are viewing this transmission, then the day of your wedding has come. I have some advice for you." Jasmine and Belle entered picture. "Max is the luckiest guy in the world because he knows you," the Jasmine image said. "I am sure you think you are the luckiest girl in the world because you know Max. Make sure that you take care of him," the Belle image said. The image faded.

Inside Max's room, the male Power Rangers and Max were living it up on Max's last night as a free man. "You know, Max," Ethan said, "you sure know how to pick 'em." "Yeah," Bobby said. "Tsukiji is the finest resort in the Disney world." "Thank Yubaba," Max said. "She owed me a favor. After all, my appearance at the Powerline concert 9 years ago is to this day the most talked about event here at Tsukiji...that is, until tomorrow. Now, let's raise a glass, lads." The Rangers, P.J. and Bobby raised their glasses of sake (Japanese rice wine). "To the big day tomorrow."

The sun rose over the Tsukiji bathhouse on the day of Max and Roxanne's wedding. Inside a newly-completed wedding pavilion, Yubaba was overseeing the bathhouse staff as they made final adjustments to the seating arrangements.

In her room at the bathhouse, Roxanne got dressed in the dress she got from Ariel. "Lilo, where's my flower girl?" Roxanne asked. "Stitch and Jumba are getting her," Lilo said. As if on cue, a red spaceship landed next to the Astro MegaShip. As if on cue, a red spaceship landed next to the Astro MegaShip. A few minutes later, Stitch , Dr. Jumba Jookiba and a small girl entered the room. Roxanne smiled at the little girl, who smiled back. "Hello, Boo. Are you ready?" Roxanne asked. Mary Gibbs, also known as "Boo," nodded. "I am ready."

On the Astro MegaShip, Max was changing into his tuxedo. Andros and Jason walked up to him. "Max, Jason has something for you.," Andros said. Jason handed Max a red case, marked with a lightning bolt. Max opened the case and withdrew a device similar to Roxanne's morpher. "Since Roxanne has a morpher, you should have one too," Jason said. Max took the Red Morpher and clipped it to his cummerbund.

As the sun set on the village, the guests began to file into the pavilion. On the MegaShip, Max gathered all the male Rangers. "Guys, I have been examining your careers as Power Rangers. I did this so I could select my best man. Alpha?" Alpha 7 waddled up to Max, holding a satin pillow. On it rested a small gold case. "Tommy, will you be my best man?' Max asked. Tommy shook his head. "I think that honor should go to Connor," Tommy said. "Thanks, Dr. O," Connor said. "Max, I shall serve you well." Connor pocketed the ring. "All right, guys," Max said. "Let's do it."

In Yubaba's office, Roxanne stood in front of all the female Rangers. "Stacey will be my maid of honor, but she cannot do it alone," Roxanne said. "Kira?" Kira nodded. " I know you've already got singing with Powerline for our first dance on your plate, but will you hold on to the ring?" Roxanne asked. "Yeah, sure," Kira said as Stacey handed Kira the ring. "It's time," Yubaba said.

At the altar, Haku watched as Max and the groomsmen took their places. The bridesmaids them came down the aisle. Finally, Boo came down the aisle, spreading flower petals. Then, at last, Roxanne came down the aisle. As soon as Roxanne arrived at the altar, Max took her hand in his. Haku gestured for everyone to be seated. "The biggest step anyone can take in life, whether the subjects are from Earth, Aquitar, KO-35 or elsewhere, is to get married. And so, we are gathered here tonight to join Maximilian Johnson Goof and Roxanne DeLisle Martin in the state of matrimony," Haku said. "The couple have written their own vows. Max?"

Max looked into Roxanne's blue eyes and smiled. "Roxanne, the truth is I have always loved you as a friend. Now, on this night, in the presence of our friends, family and colleagues... and especially in the presence of the woman I love, I pledge to forever love, honor and respect you as my wife." Connor handed Max a ring, which Max placed on Roxanne's hand. Haku turned his head to Roxanne. "Max, from the very first time I met you, I knew you to be a kind and gentle soul. I pledge my heart, mind and soul for all time. I love you, Maximilian Goof, and I always will." Kira leaned over and gave Roxanne a ring, which she placed on Max's hand.

Haku turned to face the assembled onlookers. "Max and Roxanne have pledged their love to each other by the traditional exchange of rings. Therefore, it is now my honor to declare you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Max lifted Roxanne's veil and kissed her for the first time as husband and wife. Roxanne let out a perfect "A-Hyuck" as the onlookers stood and applauded. Then, the ground shook as an explosion rocked the bathhouse compound. Michael Eisner and the villains rushed into the wedding pavilion. "You're too late, Eisner," Max said. Then, six towers of light resolved into Lizzie McGuire, Kim Possible, Louis and Ren Stevens, Jett Jackson and Zenon Kar. The original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers tossed the new arrivals their Power Morphers. "It's Morphin Time!" Max yelled.

In a blinding flash of light, the Power Rangers Toon Force appeared. The final fight for the future of the Disney world was about to begin.
