The news had spread about someone's restaurant being sabotaged was a shock to the city. Rose, Biggie, Guy Diamond, Satin and Chenille, DJ Suki, and Violet arrived just in time in the cafe to make sure they're okay.
"We flew in as soon as possible." Rose gasped. "Are you alright?"
"We're okay." Poppy replied. "But it's so sad someone else lost their business."
"I'm afraid someone else did." Branch added as he pointed out the tv.
The television showed Farrah Peaseblossom from the news channel. Behind her is a burned down restaurant and an angry business owner.
"Hello, Farrah Peaseblossom here." The pixie reported. "We got a serious situation here about this owner of a pizzeria had his restaurant destroyed because someone blew it up."
"I have been working on this business for years and some ruffian had committed arson to my restaurant!" The owner cried. "This is the evidence!"
The video shows the employees going about in their work until a gang of drakes appeared in the restaurant. The owner was going to call the cops but the drakes have entered his place.
"Too late for now, sir!" Their cried as a gang of drakes attacked the restaurant. The employees and the customers are able to get out in time by the sprites and in the middle of the attack, the place exploded. The drakes escaped and the firefighters were able to prevent the fire from consuming the city.
While the snack pack watched the news, the same gang of drakes returned to the Red Tavern after causing arson in the pizzeria. There, Brandy was waiting for them.
"One down, more to go." The muscular, African American drake snickered.
"Nice one, Slamm-Oh!" Brandy sneered.
"Okay, you siren." The leader said. "We got a deal, that you'll bring me my family if we take out your competitors."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! I'll get you your brother and mother at the end of the deal so I want you to wreck all the businesses of all my rivals." She said. "Is it clear, Bash?"
"Anything you wish for, Brandy!" He smirked as they left the place.
Brandy looked at the window and a feeling of hatred was shown in her face.
"Poppy, you and your meddling friends will pay for this!" She whispered.
In Sweet Pop, Archer Pastry recognized the gang of drakes who destroyed the pizzeria.
"It's my older brother, Bash!" He gasped
"Who?" Rose asked him.
"Benito, he's my older brother and we try to survive here in Castle City after we stowawayed from Mexico." He confessed.
"What happened to you two?" Poppy said.
"We got separated and I continued to steal food when he disappeared." He continued. "I didn't know he's into crimes."
"At least you are struggling hard to survive but in a wrong way." DJ comforted him.
"And we did our best to help him." Rose added.
"But we can't let that gang of drakes destroy the other restaurants." Satin said.
"You would need a police officer to help ya, Biggie." The same white haired witch said as she came in.
"Oh, you're from the Magic Task Force." Rose sighed.
"You helped us solve the mystery of the fashion thief and take out the infected people from the additive poison but now, we need your help catching those drakes." She said. "They call themselves the Party Crashers."
"The party crashers?" The Snack Pack gasped.
"These ruffians are illegal immigrants who rebel without a cause." The woman said. "They had a scout who would sneak on any restaurant and tries to distract the customers. Then, they'll inform the others to invade the place and cause trouble, until they blow up the place with bombs."
"Oh, no!" Violet gasped while Rose ducked down in depression.
"Wait, when did he form that team?" Archer asked. "I remember he left me in the box in the alleyway, saying he's going to steal food and now, he formed a gang?"
"Yes, he did and he never cared for you." Poppy added.
"I know I handle magical disasters but my organization also handle a-level criminals." She said. "I would need someone to help me out with this situation."
"We need someone to keep an eye on the cafe." Violet said.
"Well guard the cafe." Branch said. "I'll have everybody ready with their magic."
"We'll go after those drakes." Biggie volunteered. "I'll take Guy Diamond, Aspen Heitz, Harper, and DJ with me to get these drakes to justice.
Meanwhile, the Party Crashers are partying and dancing around in the streets while Bash, the drake with a mohawk, and shades was singing with the rest of his gang.
We're taking what we want
We're riding how we ride
Not giving nothing up
Never back down
We fire up the sun
We're lighting in the sky
We run because we run
Thunderclap now!
Uh huh!
Let's go!
C'mon!
Yeah-Eh!
Let's go!
C'mon!
So see
Nothing ever hold us down!
After singing, the party crashers are yelling and screaming in jubilation while flying. They started committing arson in another restaurant as the customers and the owners escaped. The police arrived but the party crashers had already flew off.
"¡Tenemos Fuego!" Bash yelled. "Three down, a lot more to go."
"There are a lot of restaurants to destroy and then, Bash can finally get his brother and mother back!" Peter, a blonde haired drake added. "What's next for us to destroy?"
"Hey, we can take down that fancy restaurant there too!" Smack, a stout, African American drake added.
"Hehehe, we'll take this down in no time." Bash snickered.
"Let's do this!" Slamm-Oh shouted.
"Este lugar es nuestro!" Pow, the Spanish drake with a twist mohawk yelled.
In the meantime, the witch lead Biggie's group into Foodstice to protect it from the Party Crashers and warn Chef about it. They knocked at the door and Chef answered it.
"Okay, okay, what do you want?" Chef asked loudly as she answered it but she quickly recognized the sprites. "Okay, what does Poppy want? Can't you see I'm busy here?"
"We are here to warn you about the party crashers and help you protect your business because they'll destroy your restaurant." Biggie said.
"You mean that cheat, Brandy?!" She asked.
"No, she hired the Party Crashers to destroy your business." The white haired witch said.
Suddenly, the Party Crashers started to crash her restaurant. The employees and the customers start to panic but Biggie and his squad use magic to help them evacuate the restaurant as a bomb is detonated by Pow. When everybody was out, the restaurant blew up. The police and the ambulance arrived to tend to the injured people while the firefighters to put out the fires.
"That's it, I'll join you too." Chef agreed. "But I'll make sure those drakes are gonna pay for the damage they did."
"You'll get your business back when we get the Party Crashers to justice." The witch assured her.
And so, Chef joined Biggie's team to take out the party crashers and they were able to save a few restaurants from them. Inside Sweet Pop, the place has become a temporary hospital and refuge for the stranded customers and the employees. Some police officers are stationed in the cafe to protect the people inside. The others who have children, left for the safety of their homes.
"We have to be prepared for them." Branch sighed. "They may be slippery like lizards but we have magic."
"Yeah, prepare." Rose sighed as she prepared herself.
"Huh, what is going on with Rose?" Archer asked Poppy.
"I dunno, it might be her usual busy self." She said.
"No, she has some issues of her own, maybe a trauma or something, I'll go and check on her." Branch said as he took his energy bow.
The preparations are going well for those inside the cafe but for the search squad, we'll, not so much. In the midst of the fight, Chef, Harper, and Aspen Heitz were caught. DJ Suki and the others hid in trash bins to listen to their comversation.
"Aha! So you three are the ones trying to prevent us from destroying the other restaurants." Pow said.
"You can't get away with this!" Aspen Heitz yelled.
"Oh really, Brandy sent us to do her dirty work." Smack grinned evilly.
"But we heard Kaplowie is in Sweet Pop working there so this restaurant is next in line for destruction." Bash said.
"I thought it's the last one in the list?" Peter, the Caucasian drake asked.
"Quiet, you ninny!" Bash yelled. "We will destroy all the eateries until the Red Tavern will be the only restaurant in all of Castle City!"
"But Brandy will never keep her word, she's a cheater and she only thinks of herself!" Chef added.
"Don't worry, we planted a bomb that will set on right about now." Slamm-Oh snickered.
"In the meantime, you're gonna be stuffed in a trunk." Bash said arrogantly.
The other members of the Snack Pack and the white haired witch, after listening to the conversation, mysteriously disappeared. Just like what Bash said, the Red Tavern exploded, revealing Brandy and her girls all covered in ash with their customers. They marched all the way to Sweet Pop with anger.
"I can't believe those drakes betrayed us!" Brandy yelled.
"Yeah, they did!" Vodka growled.
"Well let them give a taste of their own medicine!" Champagne screamed.
"Lets make them pay!" Tequila added.
While in the cafe, both the employees and the customers who volunteered to fight with them, barricaded the cafe while Branch, Poppy, Smidge, Fuzzbert, Cooper, and Violet are preparing to fight the party crashers. All of the evacuated customers and employees from other restaurants that were destroyed, joined with the rest of the Snack Pack. The whole cafe had an invisible force field around it, which was casted by Branch, Poppy, Smidge, Fuzzbert, Violet, and Rose to protect it. Suddenly, DJ Suki with Harper and the mysterious, white haired witch were able to get to Sweet Pop through teleportation.
"What happened guys?" Poppy asked them.
"They got Chef and the others." DJ Suki huffed. "They are on their way to the cafe."
"What!?" They cried.
"We better be prepared for them." Branch said. "Lets go everybody."
In a minute, everybody in the cafe are preparing for the fight. As Branch took out his energy bow, he noticed that Rose was in a shocking state. She is shivering and feeling sick.
"Rose, what is wrong? You're not feeling yourself today." Branch said.
"Oh Branch, I was just traumatized with the fire incident I indirectly caused since fourth grade." She said. "I'm good with my fire powers but it's too dangerous if I get under the fit of rage again."
"That's the nature of fire, it gets unpredictable when pushed too far." Branch said.
"Our elemental powers happen to go berserk if we get too angry." Poppy coerced her. "We use magic and our emotions are tied to our powers."
"I don't know if I could use it again." Rose nodded.
"You have to if the cafe has to be saved." Poppy said. "If you get overboard with your powers, we'll calm you down."
"You have all of us." Branch added. "We'll help you get through your trauma."
"Don't worry, Rose, we will calm you down if you get extremely angry." Poppy told her.
I see those walls
I want to break them down
I know you're scared but
Trust me now
Show me the good, the bad
The smiles, and frowns
So I can know you
Inside and out
If you just take a chance
And believe in your friends
I can show you how
Let me feel the rhythm of your heart
Let me see inside your soul
If you open up your eyes will find
There's a friend outside your door
I will embrace every single flaw
Cuz, I'm your friend,
And that's what we're for.
If you just take a chance
Let down all your defense
I can show you how
Let me feel the rhythm of your heart
Let me see inside your soul
If you open up your eyes will find
There's a friend outside your door
You are not alone
Trust me
Everyone feels unsure or feels afraid
So look me in the eyes
And believe my smile
Listen to me when I say
Let me feel the rhythm of your heart
Let me see inside your soul
If you open up your eyes will find
There's a friend outside your door
There's a friend outside your door
This made Rose realize that she is lucky to have them behind her back.
"Okay, I'll fight but I'll be the last resort if things go wrong." She said.
"That's the spirit!" Poppy said.
"The party crashers are here!" Cooper cried.
"We'll be ready for them with a sing-off!" Biggie yelled.
When the party crashers came in front of the cafe, the Snack Pack are ready to fight them with a sing off. Rose was reserved in case things are going to get worse.
Smidge:
We came to rock!
Keep it dancing
Here we go, heartbeats racing
Turn it up, beat is popping
And you know we ain't stopping
No, we party, party all the time
Yeah, were lighting up the sky
Let me hear you drop the bass
Drop it for me one more time
Pow:
Hell yeah
Now it's time to take it up, up
Get this party up a notch, yeah
You think you got it, but watch this
Ohh! Ohh! Ohh! Ohh!
Ohh! Ohh! Ohh! Ohh!
Can't stop once we get going
It's supersonic motion
No, we're not ever slowing
We're rocking and we're rolling
This time, its overflowing, yeah!
Ohh! We're rocking and we're rolling,
This time, it's overflowing
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Guy Diamond:
We're just getting started
Make sure the crowd has partied
You're gonna leave this competition
Broken, broken-hearted
We're rocking to the beat
We're gonna bring the heat
We're burning up these streets
And we're always number one
So respect your champions
Slamm-Oh:
Do you hear that crowd?
It's cheering nice and loud
It's all for us
What! What are you gonna do about it?
You think you are the winners
That's so cute, you're just beginners
Take a seat, it's our turn
Pow's gonna bring it home.
Pow:
Oh, you can't ever touch us, no
You ain't even coming close
Every time we steal the show
Check my falsetto-Ah...
Biggie:
Yeah, yeah...
Yes, we came too
Biggie and Guy Diamond:
Roll the scene
Every dancer in between
Name in lights
Yes, we're winning
Biggie:
Everyone, gather round
Shake your pixie dust makers
While we take it back
From the party fakers
Slo-mo, looky at me
Drop the mic, show what I mean
Smidge:
Dance break!
In the middle of the sing-off, Rose, Archer Pastry, and Violet are watching the scene and the elf got so angry with the Party Crashers' insults that her ears turn red with rage.
"I'll give them the finger sign if it's the last thing I do!" Rose said.
"They left me alone." He said.
"Really?" The white-haired witch asked him.
"Yes, he did and I don't want to face him ever again." Archer nodded.
"You don't have to, but we need your help freeing the others." She said.
"Okay, I'll help." He agreed.
"Yes!" Rose and Violet whispered.
"But we don't know where they are." Archer said.
"I sense Chef's aura somewhere here." Rose whispered.
"Let's go and free them." Violet added.
Rose lead Archer and the others to the place where Chef was imprisoned. They sneaked to a storage room, where the trunk is. Rose, Violet, and the white-haired witch unlocked the trunk, revealing Harper, Aspen, and Chef. After undoing the ropes, they noticed an older drake coming close to them with a soulful look in her eye. She has the same black hair as Archer, but tied in a bun with a pair of curved horns on her head and she wears a flowery dress with flats. Archer was familiarized by her voice.
"Son?!" She gasped.
"Mama?!" He said.
The sing off went on as the two teams continue to sing off against each other until a familiar voice yelled.
"Silencio! She yelled.
"Mama!?" Bash gasped.
Everybody was shocked. It was Archer's mother, Mrs. Martinez, who was standing before them. With her are Rose, Violet, Archer Pastry, Harper, Aspen Heitz, and Chef.
"I've been looking everywhere for you!" He gasped. "And how did you get out of the trunk?!"
"You didn't know there are extra of us in this city." Violet snickered.
"Oh! Busted!" Poppy cried.
"I never want to be found like this!" The drake mother yelled.
"Mama, Kaplowie, I've been missing you!" Bash cried but the woman slapped him.
"I can't believe my son is a criminal to try and find me!" She shouted. "Good thing Angelo found me first because he turned to the right path!"
"It's over now, Benito!" Archer agreed. "You left me starving when I was little but good thing I am able to leave and steal for myself. Thanks to the reform school, I decided to become a chef instead."
"Besides, I remember that you were working for Brandy in exchange for the search of your mother." Harper added.
"Brandy is nothing but a cheat, I know you double crossed her." Chef sneered.
"You do nothing but cause trouble." Archer ended it.
"Traitor!" Bash yelled at him.
"For you but not for me, I wanted the both of you to find a good life but Angelo did the right thing while you don't!" His mother scolded him.
"Si, estoy de acuerdo contigo." Branch agreed.
"Rosa, will you do the honor of ending this sing off?" She asked Rose.
"With pleasure, Señora." Rose nodded as she and Violet stood up with the Snack Pack. They face the party crashers with smirks and started dancing while Rose and Violet sing together.
Rose:
Rose:
I can see the things you're all doing
And you think that we're naïve.
But when we get the goods on you
You're finally revealed
Violet:
You said it's all just drama.
But every bubble's got to pop.
They're gonna see just what you're doing
Both:
And then you're finally gonna have to stop!
Don't think you're gonna win this time,
'Cause you better believe we're gonna drop a dime on you!
I'll get ya! (yeah)
I'll get ya!
And when I do, you're gonna be busted!(Busted!)
I don't wanna put the hurt on you
But you better believe me
When I tell you that I finally got the dirt on you,
You're busted.
(Busted!)
Rose:
Yeah, they're finally gonna see the light,
Both:
This is how it's gonna be,
When we fight for what is truly right,
You're busted!
There's a new cop on the beat,
And we're bringing down the heat,
Our eyes are wise to all your lies,
'Cause you're not that discreet.
And I don't care what you've heard,
'Cause there's one six-letter word,
Rose:
It's gonna set me free, (Violet: Gonna set me free)
It starts with a "B"! (Violet: Starts with a "B"!)
Both:
It goes B-U-S-T-E-D!
You are busted!
I don't wanna put the hurt on you
But you better believe me
When I tell you that I finally got the dirt on you,
You're busted.
(Busted!)
Rose:
Yeah, they're finally gonna see the light,
Both:
This is how it's gonna be,
When we fight for what is truly right,
You're busted!
The sing-off was over and the winners are the Snack Pack but the Party Crashers are not giving up. Bash growled and yelled at his gang.
"Get them!" Bash yelled as the other party crashers tried to attack them.
The Snack Pack are prepared to fight the party crashers with their magic powers. The gang may be skilled and slimy as dragons but they cannot escape the power of magic that the Snack Pack use. Biggie flew upward, sending two of them slamming on each other as he conjured a tornado that swept them away. Smidge used her fire powers to dodge the rest of the party crashers and sent a wave of fire towards them. Branch made plants grow all around a party crashers and tied him up with one of the roots of a tree. Poppy was almost cornered by the others but she made all the plants grow and the ivy tied them up. Rose blasted them with fireballs but she cornered them with a ring of fire after she send them spiraling down to the ground.
"You've been messing with the dragon, now here come the flames!" Rose roared as she used her fire powers to the extreme.
"Stand your ground!" Bash cried.
Before Rose could blast them, she remembered what Poppy said to her and she was able to calm down. She landed on her feet and was joined by the rest of the Snack Pack, Harper, Chef, Archer Pastry, and Mrs. Martinez.
"It's over." Archer snickered as he walked on to him with the Snack Pack, Harper, Aspen Heitz, Chef, the lava dragon, and his mother growling at them with angry faces.
"C'mon." Bash pleaded. "You're not gonna use a trap on me, are you, Hermanito?"
"No, the cops will!" Archer smiled as the police finally arrived. Peter stood behind them with the people from Archer's trial.
"You're under arrest for terrorism, vandalism, and destruction of private properties!" The centaur chief yelled as she and the officers placed handcuffs on the party crashers.
"You owe me a car!" Manny yelled at Bash.
"You owe me hospital bills!" A drake father cried.
"You owe me, my deceased uncle!" A woman howled.
"You owe me my business!" A harpy yelled.
"Yeah, serve you right!" A drake girl scolded him.
"Sorry, those guys are jerks." Peter said.
As soon as the police arrested the party crashers, the Snack Pack are happy that the terror is over.
"Wow, glad that was over." Branch smirked.
"Yeah...wha..." Poppy stammered as she noticed Rose's wings are glowing.
"What's happening?" Rose asked as the tips of her wings had heart-shaped markings. It's yellow with orange rims.
"Rose, your wings." She gasped.
"I dunno what these markings mean." The elf said confusingly.
"That's the crest of courage." Guy Diamond answered. "An elf must face their deepest fear and looks like you did."
"Yeah, I couldn't earn it if it weren't for you guys." Rose said.
"Oh!" They all cried as they gave her a group hug while the others watched them with awe.
On the next day, the trial took place on them but Archer, Peter, and his mother are placed among the jury with the Snack Pack. After each witness told the judge everything that happened, Judge Whopper got the verdict from the jury and declare the party crashers guilty and sentenced to reform school and jail with added community service. Everybody cheered as the owners of the destroyed restaurant, including Chef were given money to rebuilt their restaurants while the Snack Pack got a share of money for helping the city arrest the Party Crashers. Mrs. Martinez got her citizenship in Castle City and officially adopts Peter while Archer Pastry is released to her custody so he can live with her during the holidays. At the end of the trial, they all celebrate in the cafe.
"Archer Pastry, for all you did for your defense in our cafe, you can work here as a part-time job." Poppy announced.
"Yay!" They all cheered.
"Don't worry, you'll get used to the work here." Branch assured him.
"I'm so proud of you, Angelo." Mrs. Martinez cried. "You chose the path I wished for you."
"Aww, mama." He sniffed. "Te quiero mucho."
Both mother and son are truly reunited and they are ready to move on with their life while Rose had finally overcome her deepest fear, thanks to the Snack Pack.
