I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Marvel. They owned by Marvel, Disney, and Square Enix. And here's the next chapter, the first official original Disney world. The Emperor's New Groove! Now, who doesn't love this movie! And it's humor! Oh, and have any of heard of the upcoming Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad game! If the former successful maybe I do a crossover between that game and Spider-Man PS4. Who knows. Now before we begin let's reply to some reviews...
jeonbh94: Well, to be fair, Disney did buy the rights to the Star Wars franchise. Now, I know there are those of you with mixed feelings about the sequel trilogy but you have to admit, they had some solid hits with Rogue One, the Mandalorian, Jedi Fallen Order, and of course, the return of the Clone Wars. And I can't upload the next chapter to A Spider's Frozen Adventure II because it's nowhere near to getting done... unlike this chapter! Please enjoy!
PHL360: Yeah, Grievous never had a chance. Gotta love Stitch!
SORARULES23: Yeah, I really wanted to do a world where Sora massive changes the events of a Story so I decided it to be Star Wars! Give Anakin a chance to never become Vader and let him raise his family...
Luke: Aw... I feel it ruins a better follow up story.
Anakin: It probably does, son. (Laughs with Luke and Leia) I HAVE A FAMILY!
Yes, we know Anakin, we know. Now, where was I? Aw, yes. Thanks again and you too!
CalamityCreeper: Thanks for understanding but I write but I feel like writing. I can't help it. If I don't write what I don't feel like writing... it wouldn't be nearly as good. Do you get what I'm saying?
Dexter: You're right about the world. You're right about the ship. However, Wall-e will not be in a world in this story. When coming up with the idea for the story, I thought of ideas on how each of the Infinity Stones would fit for the worlds. How it takes shape in this story other than the grand finale. For instance, Doom had the Power Stone, he's power-hungry and would want more and if he couldn't get the other six stones, he tries to steal more power from the stringing being he knows. And the Grievous had the Time Stone, so, he would use its power against the Republic to wipe out the Jedi and Clones while leaving the droids mostly unharmed by reversing any damage done to them. As for the Reality Stone... well, I'm pretty sure you can figure that one out from here. Trust me, I pick out good worlds for the other half Stones as well. Some of you could probably guess some of them. Or look at the end of the chapter for a preview of the next chapter and guess the last two. I just couldn't think of anything good for Wall-e's Infinity Stone debacle when the story of Wall-e is focused on the plant. I hope you enjoy what's to come.
Guest: Wait no further because the next chapter is here. Enjoy.
KingdomWarrior125: Thanks. We all got to stay safe in these dark times. Definitely planning on getting back to each of those considering they're some of my shorter stories and I want to finish each of them before going into long in-depth ones.
lyokoMARVELanime: Thank you! Truth be told, when first writing this I was debating between her and Rex to be traveling with Sora and the others. I ended up with Rex but didn't want Ashoka not to be here all together so I made her a summon to aid Sora. So, we'll be seeing her in this story. Don't worry. In fact, sooner than you might think. Yeah, the season finale helped shaped out the last chapter and even found a way to save that world... er... galaxy. You know what I mean. Yeah, truth be told, he's more of a threat here than he was in the actual movie... even more so than the game. All we did was fight his Heartless. I would have preferred to smack Hans with my Keyblade but... what can you do? And of course, I really wanted to see Stitch humiliate Grievous. And we'll hear how the Star Wars universe changed as we go through the story. More so during the ending, which will be really cool by the way! I can't wait to get to that part! :D And yes, I can say the very classic gag will happen here. I mean, how could it not be in here?! And Hulk very much did... it was hard enough to tell him he couldn't keep it... believe me. I didn't want to make him angry, no one likes it when he's angry. But I reminded him my story is not the only story threaten by that merc so it went better than expected.
gwencarson126: Thank you! And what can I say except you're welcome~ Yeah, the Jedi need to take more of Sora's idea of how to fight the darkness than what they were doing, because if it wasn't for Sora... the would have died out if it weren't for Luke. And yes but at least he's not bonded with Venom in this. Oh, and Yzma's a lady alright... a scary beyond all reason lady! LOL!
foxchick1: That's Sora for ya!
ajjr12: I saw bits of it. Not a fan. So, I won't be doing that.
Monkey D. Conan: Glad you were looking forward to this world. It was a really fun world to write! As for Hans... you're going to have to wait and see! :) Elsa will learn the lesson of love her own way. I'm trying something different instead of following the same Frozen timeline. Both Peter and Sora will help her. You'll see. And actually the last two worlds will change some of their appearances and the one after this they sort of change outfits. I won't say what the worlds will be right now though. And don't worry, Sora will be giving both Kristoff and Peter the warning but will trust them. Way more than he does with Hans.
NaruSaku fan in Kentucky: There is a small forth wall break in here but it's subtle. Can you find it? I'll definitely play the game! However, its story won't be involved in this in any way. I plan to have this story before than game releases. I also plan to play Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad as well! They look really fun!
Harold Godwinson: Glad you enjoyed the chapter! And don't worry about Ashoka. She'll be in this story sooner than you think!
KINGKAIJU5: Don't forget Olaf made his debut as well! :D Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the last chapter and I hope you enjoyed this just as much!
DragonMack: Wait no further because now it's here!
jokerboy217: Well, I hope it was worth the wait! :D
Prime's apprentice: Um... sadly I can't watch it because I don't see the full link that you put out. I wish I could but... I'm not sure what I'm supposed to see! Also, you should probably put that in a more secure place. For the fictional world, getting it and opening it is easy as pie. No, the ship will be able to fit them all. Elsa just shrunk Marshmallow and I have no plans expanding the crew bigger than what it already is.
Okay, and with that out of the way, here's the next chapter! Enjoy!
Chapter 6: The Emperor's New Groove
A few moments earlier, Maleficent and Pete watched as Sora and the others blasted off into space. Pete groaned with annoyance, "Doh! That Key-brat managed to get his hands on another Infinity Stone! How are we supposed to bring the Stones to the big guy if the little runt gets them all first?"
Maleficent hummed, "That is no concern of mine..."
Pete looked confused, "Huh? You mean, this ain't bothering you?"
Maleficent continued, "Those Foretellers... last we checked they were still outside the box. That fool Xigbar must have gotten them inside somehow. Now, they're after the Infinity Stones as well."
Pete groaned, "Like those brats were bad enough! So, what are we going to do about it?"
Maleficent smirked, "We need not worried about the boy. Either way, the Stones will be ours. I have taken precautions for this. However, I believe inside of one of Thanos's allies, we use a Keyblader of our very own."
Just then, a Corridor of Darkness opened and Vanitas stepped out of it, "You rang?"
Maleficent smirked, "Ah, yes. Vanitas... I believe it's your turn to hunt down an Infinity Stone."
Vanitas smirked under his helmet, "Good. It's about time I reunited with my brother."
At the same time, someone watched them from above. Yozora looked down upon them as he muttered to himself, "I will save you, Sora."
In the present, the Corellian freighter flew through the depths of space to the next portal. Peter stared at the window as he muttered to himself, "Space. The final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship which has yet to be named. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before!"
Elsa peeked up behind Peter, "What are you doing?"
Peter was a little spooked by Elsa, "Oh, Elsa! I didn't see you there!"
Elsa raised an eyebrow, "Doesn't you Spider-Sense of yours suppose to detect my presence?"
Spidey shook his head, "It only goes off when there's danger so unless you're planning to hurt me or the others..."
"Ah, got it!" Elsa nodded, "So, seriously, what were you doing?"
"Oh..." Peter sheepishly tried to explain, "That... I was making a pop reference to a series... You wouldn't understand."
"Oh. So that wasn't your poetic narration?" Elsa inquired amusingly.
"No, it wasn't. I mean it's a poetic narration but not mine. You would be one of the few people it's not outdated to." Peter shrugged.
Before Elsa could respond, they heard a dramatic plop nearby and turned to see Anna had sat down at a table. As Kristoff, Sven, Olaf, and Marshmallow followed her, Anna sighed dramatically. Peter turned to Kristoff, "What's with her?"
"She's still upset about not bringing Hans with us," Kristoff answered.
Elsa blinked, "Still! It's been over an hour!" She then sat beside her sister, "Anna, I know you... liked that man... but this was ultimately for the best."
"Oh, come on." Anna moaned, "Admit it, you all hate, Hans."
Elsa shook her head, "No, that's not true. We just... um..."
Kristoff stated bluntly, "We don't trust Hans."
Elsa nodded as she gestured to Kristoff, "Yes, what he said."
"Of course we can trust him," Anna argued, "It's true love."
Elsa crossed her arms, "Remember the last time you thought the last guy you had a crush on was true love? He turned out to be your own brother!"
Anna froze in horror looking completely embarrassed, "Elsa! Not in front of everyone!"
Both Peter and Kristoff both tried to stop themselves from laughing, as the New Yorker shook his hand, "Wait, wait, wait... you mean to tell us! You had a crush on your own brother!"
Anna tried to look away as Elsa apologized, "Anna, I am so sorry!"
With that, both men burst out laughing as Marshmallow joined them. Even Sven had a humorous smile. Olaf just looked confused, "What? What happened? What's so funny?"
"Nothing!" Elsa told Olaf before glaring at the others, "Stop it! It's not funny!"
Marshmallow instantly stopped laughing while Kristoff and Peter chuckled as the latter stated, "I'm so sorry. But you have to admit, it is a little bit funny."
Just then, Sora and Captain Rex walked up to them as the former wondered, "What's a little bit funny?"
Both either Kristoff or Peter could respond both Elsa and Anna quickly exclaimed, "NOTHING!"
Sora blinked as he turned to the Clone Captian, who just shrugged in response, as he turned back to them, "Oooookay then."
Anna then tried to turn things back to the main topic, "Anyways, I don't see what's the big deal of trying to find true love. I mean, we're all doing this to save Sora's girlfriend!"
Both Peter finally stopped chuckling before turning to Sora, "Wait, what?"
Sora tried to hide a blush before stating, "Okay, number 1, she's not my girlfriend."
Anna crossed her arms with a smirk, "Oh, I'm sorry, I meant to say your friend, who you shared a magical romantic fruit together making your destinies forever intertwined."
Kristoff stopped laughing before turning to Sora, "Yeah, she's got you there, bud."
Peter on the other hand looked more confused, "Wait, did I miss something here?"
Elsa sighed as she quickly explained, "Long story short, on top of everything that's been happening, the second reason why we're doing this is that we just learned Sora's girl..." She then noticed a look from her brother before changing her words, "...best friend, Kairi, has been in a coma for a year now and the only thing that can wake her up is if Sora returns to her."
Peter turned to Sora, "Really, dude?"
Sora blushed as he admitted, "That... sums it up." He then shook his head, "And second of all, there's something off about that guy and I don't like it."
Anna crossed her arms, "Oh, come on, name one thing that you believe Hans is a bad guy."
Sora counted, "One, I'm a guy who can make friends with pretty much anyone so when I don't like someone that's saying something. Two, he has my best friend's, Riku's, Keyblade when it was destroyed a year ago. and three, he shows up when all of this is going on and we haven't heard of him till now."
"Gee, I only said to name one thing," Anna huffed, "And that third reason could be the same as yours, he could be trying to protect the world order."
"Or he could be spying on us," Rex gave his own two cents, "I may not have known him for long but something does feel off about him, ma'am."
Sora nodded, "Same goes for the rest of us, Anna. We're not saying, you shouldn't look for true love, we're just saying it's not going to be him. Until we know for sure, it's best you keep your distance from him."
"But..." Anna wanted to complain.
Elsa then told her, "At least, if he shows up again, just don't be by yourself around him. We're not saying this to be mean, it's because we care about you."
Anna sighed in defeat as she muttered, "Fine."
Sora then cleared his throat, "Anyways, we're about to enter the next portal that should take us to the next world."
Everyone turned to Sora in shock as Elsa wondered, "Already? Last time it took nearly three days to get to Christophsis."
"Well, we're sailing on an actual space ship that can go light speed." Spider-Man pointed out, "Not an outdated cruise ship that was trying to be the Magic School Bus."
"Hey! I had a space ship before all of this!" Sora shot back.
"Really, what was it called?" Elsa asked with a teasing grin. Knowing they'll laugh at the name.
Sora looked away almost embarrassed. "Don't make me say it."
Anna grinned as well. "Say what?"
"Please don't," Sora muttered.
"What were you going to say?" Kristoff asked completely lost at this.
"I can't," Sora replied.
"Can't what?" Olaf asked innocently.
"Please don't make me say it," Sora repeated.
"What is it?" Rex asked.
Sora hung his head back and groaned. "I owned a Gummiship called 'The Highwind.'"
Suddenly, everyone started laughing. Either at the name Gummiship or the name 'Highwind'. Because that last name sounds like natural gas.
"Was this ship made from sugar?!" Kristoff laughed.
"If it was I'm sure it will 'pass' by any moment now!" Peter also joked as they continued to laugh.
While Sora scowled and groaned in annoyance, "It was Riku's idea!" He then grumbled, "And it was only called that because he beat me in that race by only a few steps."
Elsa was shocked by that, "So, what did you want to call it then?"
Sora answered, "Excaliber."
Everyone stopped laughing before Anna admitted, "Actually, that's a pretty good name."
"I know, right?" Sora smiled.
Peter then asked, "So, is it this ship's name then?"
"Actually," Sora admitted, "I named this ship something else. I thought I save that name for another ship."
"Then what did you name this ship?" Elsa wondered.
Sora answered, "She's called the Millenium Falcon."
Peter thought, "Huh, that's actually a really epic name."
Olaf whispered to Elsa, "That's a good thing, right?"
Elsa whispered back, "Yes, Olaf that's a good thing."
Rex then cleared his throat, "Anyways, we're about to enter the portal now. I suggest you strap yourselves in case we run into trouble."
Everyone nodded as they took their seats. Anna, Kristoff, Olaf, and Marshmallow sat behind the table as Peter and Elsa followed Sora and Rex to the cockpit. Anna smirked as she discretely had her fingers crossed behind her back...
Sora and Elsa took their respective seats as Rex pushed a few buttons, "Deflector shields are up."
The Keyblade's chosen nodded, "Alright, let's take it in."
With that, the Millenium Falcon flew through the portal to the next world, after a minute, Elsa muttered to herself, "So far so good." She then Sora looking like he spaced out for a bit, "Sora? You alright?"
"Yeah," Sora nodded, "I can't stop thinking about that lady in the snake mask... Invi."
"You don't think she's one of the Foretellers like Ava was?" Elsa wondered.
Peter raised a hand, "Uh, is there something else I should know?"
"Right, we really need to get you and Rex caught up on some of the other current events," Elsa recalled, "Well... in short, before we left Arendelle, Sora thought she could help us out. And she was. She told us the truth about the worlds, the box, and even directed to Thane. She even admitted she was one of the Foretellers from before the first Keyblade War."
Peter blinked in confusion, "Okay? Not the craziest thing I ever heard... but how is she here now? Why not tell you guys about her co-workers?"
"She didn't know." Sora admitted, "At least, that's what she told us. As for your second question, either she was lying or she didn't know. Either way, something much bigger is going on here. Besides Thanos."
Rex turned to Sora, "So, you're saying there someone even worse than Thanos we might have to deal with?"
"Yeah," Sora nodded, "The man in the Organization coat! I know he has something to do with this!"
Elsa nodded, "He was behind the war between you and Xehanort and when you saw him in your vision, he did say he had other plans. If only we could get an idea what they were..."
"What not contact Thane?" Peter offered, "He knew Ava the longest?"
Sora's eyes widened as he pulled out his GummiPhone, "Well, it's worth a shot."
He then dialed the number, it rang for a moment, before Thane's image appeared on screen, "Hello, Sora. How's your quest for the Stones?"
"So far, so good." Sora smiled, "We managed to get our hands on another Infinity Stone."
Thane smiled, "That is good news, by my count, there should be only four left. If things continue to go this smoothly, the worlds should be good as saved." He then noticed Sora's concerned face, "What's wrong?"
"Well... Did Ava ever mention the name Invi at all?" Sora asked, "It's important."
Thane hummed for a moment, before nodding, "Yes, Invi was a close friend of Ava. Like her, she was one of the Foretellers. But due to some unfortunate circumstances, she was forced to fight her along with the other Foretellers during the Keyblade War. When the war ended Ava ended up here alone. Why do you ask?"
Elsa answered peeked over the phone, "We actually saw her... well, at least someone claiming to be her we were getting the Time Stone."
Thane looked shocked by this, "That... shouldn't be possible... if she was back, Ava would have said something."
Sora then asked, "Then she could be just in the dark about this as we are."
Thane nodded, "Yes, that's very likely the case. I would assume my father was behind this but it doesn't fit his MO. And he doesn't have that kind of power at least... not without the Stones."
Sora added, "What about Hans? He was another Keyblader Wielder we've met outside of both her and Invi. Did she ever mention his name?"
Thane shook his head, "No, I don't believe so... but it is possible he could have run into one of her Dandelions and they could have passed on the Keyblade on to him."
"Even broken ones from outside the box?" Sora asked, "I knew the Keyblade he wielded. It was my best friend Riku's Keyblade."
"Hmm..." Thane thought, "I see your point." He then turned back to Sora, "I'll tell you what, while you continue to search for the Infinity Stones, I'll see if I can contact Ava. Maybe we can get some straight answers from her."
"Thanks, Thane," Sora smiled, "We knew we could count on you."
"I'm glad to be of help, let me know if there's anything else you need," Thane smiled, "Oh, and before I forget, Captian America told me that Spider-Man vanished not long after you left. He's wondering if you ran into him before you left."
Instantly, awkward silence entered the room, as Sora gestured the phone to Spider-Man, "Well, I guess, you could say that."
Thane's eyes widened as Spider-Man gave him an awkward wave, "Um... hi?"
Sora then turned the phone back to him, "Yeah, he kinda stole away on our ship before we left and now we're stuck with him."
Thane nodded, "That explains a lot." He then told him, "I'll let Cap know, but maybe with any luck. He could be a valuable ally for you. He did help you stop Dr. Doom."
"Yeah, he's been helpful so far," Sora nodded, "Thanks again, Thane. We'll contact you again soon."
Thane nodded before the screen went blank as he hung up, Elsa sighed, "Hopefully, he can get us some answers."
Captain Rex then spoke up again, "They're going to have to wait for the moment. We're here."
Everyone turned to see that they had made it through the portal with no problem this time and a new world was up ahead. Sora nodded, "Alright, let's activate the cloak and find a good place to land this ship. After that, let's see if we can find the next Infinity Stone."
Meanwhile, on the world below them, a funeral was going happening. A funeral fit for an emperor. And it was for one. Emperor Kuzco. His Royal Advisor was giving as speech as her assistant wept, "And so, it is with great sadness that we mourn the sudden departure of our beloved prince... taken from us so tragically on the very eve of his 18th birthday."
"Poor little guy..." Her assistant sniffed as he muttered, "He never had a chance."
"His legacy will live on in our hearts... for all eternity." The Royal advisor concluded. After a brief moment of silence minus the sobs and sniffs from her assistant, she smirked, "Well, he ain't gettin' any deader." She then removed her black clothes into her own empress clothes before ordering, "Back to work!"
Everyone who attended the service threw the candles aside and went back to remodeling the Empire into her image. Removing any traces of Kuzco's image with her own. As her assistant prepared her lunch, she relaxed as her new position as Empress Yzma. She smiled to her assistant, "Kronk, darlin', I must admit you had me worried when you mixed up those poisons..."
She then pulled out the Reality Stone to admire its beauty, "But then you brought me this wonderful stone which is making my changes to my new empire so much quicker and even better than I have ever hoped and the fact now that Kuzco is dead, all is forgiven."
Kronk frowned nervously, knowing she'd be upset if she'd knew what had actually happened. He tried to act cool by leaning on something, "Ah. Oh, yeah, yeah. He's..."
Kronk realized what he was learning on the grill and set his glove on fire but he dropped it on the ground and kept his cool as he put it out, "Heh. He's dead, all right. Heh heh. I mean, you can't get much deader than he...than he is right now. Unless, of course, we killed him again."
Yzma raised an eyebrow, "I suppose."
Kronk was acting strange...well, stranger than usual. Kronk quickly tried to change the subject, "Hey, look, the royal dresser's here!"
As Kronk went to greet the royal dresser, Yzma put away the red Infinity Stone as she tried to get his attention, "Kronk..."
"I should tell you right now I'm kind of hard to fit," Kronk told the dresser.
"Kronk..." Yzma spoke up again.
"I wear a 66 long and a 31 waist." He continued as the dresser tired to look for that size.
Yzma kicked the dresser off the ledge as he fell screaming grabbing Kronk by the checks as she told him, "Kuzco IS dead, right? Tell me Kuzco's dead. I need to hear these words."
Yzma looked so hopeful until Kronk asked her, "You need to hear all those words exactly?"
Yzma dropped her dish and gritted her teeth, "HE STILL ALIVE?!"
"Well, he's not as dead as we would've hoped." He answered.
Yzma's face was turning red with anger, "Kronk..."
"I just thought I'd give you the heads-up in case Kuzco ever came back." Kronk continued.
Yzma argued, "He can't come back!"
"Yeah. That would be kind of awkward especially after that lovely eulogy." He agreed.
Yzma replied sarcastically, "You think?!" She then grabbed him by the shirt as she told him, "You and I are going out to find him. Magic Stone that bends reality or not, if he talks, we're through! Let's move!"
Meanwhile, Kuzco was having the worst day of his life. Things were all looking his way, first, he fired his scary beyond all reason, royal advisor who was trying to do his job, then he figured out for his perfect vacation home as his own birthday present to him, and all to finish with dinner with his former advisor, who had no ill wills for firing her. Now, he had somehow been turned into a llama taken away from his home, and the only man who could have gotten him there safely refused to take him unless he agreed to build his summer home somewhere else. He was hopeless lost, a squirrel sicked black jaguars on him, and when he lost them these monsters with red eyes continued the chase.
The monsters slowly backed him towards the edge of the cliff, it would seem like the end for the Emperor when suddenly they heard a yell. Both Kuzco and the monsters turned to see Pacha, the man that refused to help him get home earlier, swinging on a vine coming to his rescue. As Pacha let out a yell that would impress Tarzan, Kuzco smirked as he turned to the monsters. He was saved.
However, right as Pacha was about to kick the monsters away from the emperor, the monsters step side the kick, before watching him go off trying to regain control of the swing. Kuzco smirk vanished as the monsters turned their attention back on him. Before the could, Pacha returned grabbing him and swung them away from the monsters. Pacha reassured him, "Don't worry, Your Highness! I gotcha! You're safe now!"
Just as he finished speaking, the vine got caught onto a tree log causing them to spin around and were tied to it. After a minute of awkward silence, Kuzco finally spoke up, "Maybe I just new to this whole rescuing thing, but this, to me, might be considered kind of a step backwards, wouldn't you say?"
Pacha shook his head as he tried to reassure him, "No, no, no. It's... It's okay. This... This is all right. We can figure this out." Just then, they heard a loud noise fly over them as Pacha wondered, "What was that?"
As an invisible object flew past them caused the tree to crack, Kuzco muttered dryly, "I hate you."
With that, the tree branch broke off as they both screamed as they fell to the rivers below. Kuzco and Pacha were helpless as they went down the rapids bumping into rocks along the way until the rivers seemed to calm down. As they took deep breaths, Kuzco turned back to Pacha, "I don't know about you, but I'm getting all funned out."
All of a sudden, Pacha's eyes widened in horror, "Uh-oh!"
Kuzco frowned as he assumed, "Don't tell me. We're about to go over a huge waterfall."
Pacha didn't sugar coat it this time, "Yep."
Kuzco asked, "Sharp rocks at the bottom?"
"Most likely." Pacha nodded.
The only thing Kuzco could say in response was, "Bring it on."
A little bit earlier, Sora and Rex landed and everyone exited the ship. As they wandered through the jungle, Anna asked, "Didn't you guys say there was a village nearby?"
Rex nodded, "We did. It's only a couple of miles away."
Anna's eyes widened, "Why didn't we land any closer?"
Sora told her, "If we landed too close, we would have drawn too much attention. World order, remember?"
Kristoff nodded, "Right... like the walking talking snowmen are normal around here?"
Sora shrugged, "No one ever questioned when Donald and Goofy were around. I'm sure Olaf and Marshmallow will be fine."
Spider-Man swung on the treetops as he turned to the giant snowman that Elsa restored to full size as they exited the ship, "We're not seriously calling him Marshmallow, are we?"
Elsa turned to the superhero, "What's wrong with Marshmallow?"
Spider-Man raised his hands in defense, "Nothing! Nothing! It's just there are so many better names than Marshmallow."
Elsa tilted her head, "Like?"
"Oh, I don't know like Chuck Snoras. The Abominable Snowman. The Sulk." Spider-Man answered as he swung from tree to tree. Everyone turned to Spider-Man, "You know... it's like Snowman and the Hulk..." After a minute of silence, "It sounded better in my head."
Sora turned to the giant snowman, "You have a problem with the name Marshmallow?" Marshmallow shook his head, as Sora smiled, "Marshmallow it is then!"
Kristoff walked alongside Sven, "Okay, now that we've got that taken care of, what exactly do we do once we reach the village?"
Sora admitted, "The same thing as we always do. Look around. Ask anyone if they have seen anything out of the ordinary. Make new friends. Find the next Infinity Stone."
Rex asked, "You always do stuff like this?"
Sora shrugged, "Minus the Infinity Stones pretty much that and fighting monsters along the way and every now and then the wildlife of the world."
"Wildlife?" Anna wondered, "What do you mean wildlife?"
"Look at were we are," Kristoff muttered, "Arendelle's forest and mountains have wolves but considering we're in the jungle were likely to run into more preditors here than anywhere else."
Elsa froze in fear as she turned to Kristoff, "You mean like Lions, Tigers, and Bears?"
Peter corrected, "Well, considering we're on a world that's similar to the Preu Jungle, I'd say we'd more likely to run into Pumas, jaguars, and maybe some snakes."
Elsa shivered at that last one, she hated snakes, "Oh, that's even worse."
Sora reassured her, "We'll be fine, Elsa. Let's just stick together and we can handle anything this jungle throws at us."
Rex nodded, "Yes, sir!"
Sora turned to the Clone Captian, "Um... Rex... this isn't the army. You can just say okay."
Rex paused, "Right... Okay..." He then muttered, "Wow... that felt weird to say."
All of a sudden, they heard someone shout out, "BOOOYAAAHAHAHAHA WHOOOOHOOOOOOHOOO!"
Everyone froze at that, as Anna wondered, "What was that?"
"Sounds like trouble." Sora realized, "Someone could need some help!"
Rex turned to Spider-Man, "Can you see if there's anyone nearby from up there?"
Spider-Man saluted, "No problem!"
The wall-crawler climbed up the trees as everyone waited for his return. A few minutes, later Spider-Man returned, Elsa leaned in, "Well... What did you see?"
Peter told them, "You're not going to believe this but I saw a man giving CPR to a llama."
Everyone stared at the superhero for a fall minute, as Kristoff asked, "CPR?"
Peter nodded, "Yep."
Elsa added, "To a llama?"
Peter once again nodded, "I didn't believe it either."
Anna asked, "That really just happened?"
Peter nodded, "Oh, yeah... but that's not our biggest concern. After the whole kiss of life happened, they are surrounded by Heartless... At least, I think they're Heartless. They looked different from the ones we fought."
Sora turned to the others, "C'mon! Let's check it out!" He then turned to Spider-Man, "Let the way!"
Spider-Man then lead the group to where he saw the current events that had happened. After passing serval branches, they saw a man and a llama surrounded by monsters. Sora's eyes widened, "The Unversed?! What are they doing here?!"
Elsa turned to her brother, "Care to fill us in?"
Sora's eyes narrowed as he summoned his Keyblade, "I'll explain later. Right now, we need to stop the monsters!"
Rex drew out his twin blasters as Anna and Kristoff followed the Clone Captain as they fired upon the Unversed. Elsa blasted them with her ice magic as Marshmallow swatted away any that came to close. Spider-Man dodged and webbed up the Unversed as Sven stomped them, the former quipped, "Seriously, what happened to the days the only thing I had to worry about were crooks, Supervillains, and school. Now, I fight monsters of darkness even when I'm not home!"
Sora struck down the Unversed with his Keyblade as he told Olaf, "Keep your head down, Olaf. I don't want to see you getting hurt."
Olaf removed his head and lowered as Unversed barely missed him, "Like this?"
Sora struck down the Unversed that went for the snowman, "Eh, close enough."
A few moments later, they finally managed to defeat the Unversed. Sora sighed in relief as he put away his Keyblade, "That's all of them.
"Oh, thank goodness! I'm saved!" The llama exclaimed as he ran to them.
"Aaaaaaah! Demon llama!" Anna screamed as she aimed her rile. The llama covered his head and eyes.
Sora quickly got in front of her making her stop, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down, Anna. Let's not overreact here."
Anna told him, "Sora! The llama just spoke in English! That's not normal!"
Spider-Man pointed out, "You do realize your friends with not one but two living snowmen, right?"
Anna turned to Marshmallow and Olaf as she lowered her weapon, "Fair point."
Pacha then wondered, "What are you kids doing wandering around in the middle of the jungle?"
Sora turned to him, "It's a long story." He then realized, "Maybe we should introduce ourselves. I'm Sora." He then gestured to the others, "And this is Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Sven, Olaf, Marshmallow, Spider-Man, and Rex."
Everyone gave a wave as Sora introduced them, as Olaf whispered to them, "Who's Kristoff?"
Pacha had to admit they're clothes were a bit strange and seeing two living snowmen during the summer was far from normal. Still, they seemed nice enough and they did save their lives, "Name's Pacha." He then pointed his thumb at the Emperor, "The llama over there is Kuzco."
Kuzco turned to Pacha as he corrected, "Emperor Kuzco."
Elsa was even more confused, "The Llama's an emperor?"
Kuzco then turned to Elsa, saw how attractive she was, he put on a smile, "You know it, babe."
Elsa stared at the llama before leaning to Anna, "What is he doing?"
"I think he's flirting with you," Anna answered feeling even more awkward, "Which is weird by the way."
"You're telling me," Elsa muttered, "At least the last guy to hit on me was human. Now, a llama's trying to hit on me."
Kuzco tired to stand up and lean on a tree, "Technically, I'm not a llama. I'm human."
Kristoff stared at him as he replied sarcastically, "Right, and Sven's actually a moose."
Pacha sighed, "It's true. Kuzco was human but somehow he was transformed into a llama."
Everyone turned to the world expert, which was Sora, who shrugged, "Hey, it's not the strangest thing I heard of. I was turned into a vampire, a merman, a lion, an action figure, and a monster."
After receiving the confirmation from both Pacha and Sora, Rex asked what everyone was wondering, "Okay... so how exactly did he become a llama?"
"Oh. Right. Yeah, that's something of a long story that you can thank him for," Kuzco said, indicating Pacha with a small glare.
Pacha just sighed in defeat, clearly not wanting to put up with Kuzco's wild stories and attitude any longer, and looked back to the team as he explained. "See, Kuzco here was somehow turned into a llama and ended up on the back of my cart as I was returning home to my village. He doesn't remember how it happened, but he thinks that by getting back to the palace, he can have his advisor change him back to human with a snap of his fingers."
Kristoff stared at Kuzco in disbelief, "You do realize your fingers are now hooves, right?"
Before Kuzco could retort, Sora spoke up, "Whoa! Back up a bit! Why do you think your advisor can change you back?"
Kuzco answered, "Well, technically ex-advisor. I just fired her recently. But she does have a 'secret lab' that contains potions that turn people into all sorts of animals. She's even got a human antidote in case she ever turned herself into an animal whenever intentional or not."
"You're ex-advisor has weird potions turned people into animals? And I thought the worst thing drinks could ever do was give you a hangover or a free trip to the ice cream man." Spider-Man quipped.
Rex gave him a raised eyebrow. "Ice cream man?"
"The doctor's office." Spider-Man clarified.
"Ah. Gotcha." Rex replied.
"Yeah well, you'll have to thank the low-class smoocher for that," Kuzco said as he drank from water from the lake and started gargling to get rid of the taste.
While Pacha was making a fire trying to make a fire so they could all stay warm, he deadpanned, "For the last time! I didn't kidnap you and it was NOT A KISS!"
Peter nodded, "Yeah, dude! It was CPR! Big difference."
"Well, whatever you call it..." Just as Pacha was able to start a fire, Kuzco spat in it putting out as he continued, "It was disgusting. And if you would've done what I ordered you to do in the first place, we all could've been spared your little kiss of life."
Just as Pacha started another flame, Kuzco shakes off the water putting out the flames again. Pacha groaned in annoyance as Anna looked confused, "Wait, if he's your Emperor then why don't you take him back home?"
Pacha sighed as he answered, "Believe me, I'm more than willing to do so but only if he agrees to build his summer home somewhere else."
"What does that have to do with anything," Rex questioned, voicing the entire team's confusion.
"Oh because I'm planning on building Kuzcotopia where his house is after I destroy both it and his village. It'll even have a waterslide," Kuzco answered like it was no big deal, though his tone did turn a little more excited at the end. "Pretty great, huh? It's my birthday gift to me!" When he actually looked at the team's expressions though, he did not see any that agreed with him. Instead, they were all just glaring at him disapprovingly. "What?"
"You really don't see the problem with forcing an entire village of people out of their homes just so you can have a summer house," Elsa asked.
"Uh, maybe you weren't paying attention, but it's a summer house with a waterslide," Kuzco pointed out. "You know, you look like you spend a lot of time getting some sun or something. Can you really tell me that doesn't sound awesome?" He then smirked towards Elsa, "Plus, I could always invite certain people like te hottie hot hottie types like yourself."
Ignoring that last comment, Elsa continued, "Did you even least consider where everyone you force out is going to live?"
Kuzco shrugged, "Don't know. Don't care. How's that?" Kuzco smirk grew even bigger, "And what's even better that I don't even need to agree to his terms now that I have you guys to take me back to the palace."
Elsa and Anna looked appalled as Anna glared handed Kristoff her blaster.
"Okay! That's it! Let's smack off the smirk off his face!" Anna barked ready to beat the selfish llama who yelped and hit behind a rock. However, before she could do any harm everyone grabbed on to her.
"Whoa! Whoa! There feisty pants. Just let the Llama be." Kristoff stopped her.
She demanded, "Let me go!"
Elsa told her, "It's not worth it and we can't go around knock emperors off their thrones."
Sora then turned to Kuzco and Pacha, "We're going to talk to my little sister for a second. We'll be back... when we convinced Anna not to kill you."
Kuzco nodded nervously, "Yeah... good luck with that."
As everyone pulled the Princess away from the Llama Emperor, everyone turned to her, Anna demanded, "Oh C'mon! It's not like you were thinking the same thing!"
"Only ruffing up a little bit," Sora admitted, "But Elsa's right, we can't going knocking off Kings or Emperors off their thrones."
Elsa told her, "Anna, our parents raised us to be better than that. We can't just beat up rulers just because they make terrible decisions."
Peter added, "Not to mention, we're not even on your world, and making sure he doesn't live to see another day could put this world into panic drawing more Heartless to them."
Rex added, "Also, there's the fact that he could be our best lead."
Everyone turned to the Clone Captain, Anna wondered, "How so?"
"Well, think about it," Rex explained, "No one just gets turned into an animal for no reason. Someone or something did this to him. It could be one of our Infinity Stones."
Sora nodded, "Right... If he could take us to where he last remembered he was human, we could check out to see if there was an Infinity Stone around."
"Or it could be a wild goose chase." Kristoff added, "Still, it won't hurt if we checked it out."
Anna sighed as they brought up some good points, before she wondered, "But... if we bring him back... Pacha and so many others will lose their homes."
"Which is why we won't bring him back until he changes his mind," Elsa reassured her, "And we might not even need him to get us there, we could always ask Pacha or someone else how to get to the palace without bringing him."
Anna gave a moment of thought, "Fine..."
Sora smiled, "So, you won't kill him?"
Anna sighed, "I won't. I'll remain calm."
Kristoff nodded, "Okay... good..."
They then turned back to Pacha and Kuzco, the former smiled with amusement, Sora cleared his throat, "So... we convinced Anna not to kill you..." Kuzco sighed in relief as Sora continued, "But we're not taking you back either."
"What? Why not," Kuzco asked.
"Because we know that once you get back, you'll just destroy Pacha's home for your summer house," Sora reminded the emperor.
Kuzco frown as Pacha chuckled lightly as he stated, "Okay, look, I think we all got off on the wrong foot here."
Anna muttered, "That's one way to put it."
Pacha continued, "I think if you really thought about it, you'd decide to build your home on a different hilltop."
"And why would I do that," Kuzco asked, earning a few barely suppressed groans of irritation from the others.
Sora continued where Pacha left off, "Because... deep down, I think you'll realize that you're forcing an entire village out of their homes just for you."
"And that's... bad," Kuzco asked as if the idea was completely foreign to him.
"Well, yeah. I mean, nobody's that heartless," Pacha laughed in good humor.
Sora muttered to himself, "No decent person is anyways..."
Kuzco was silent for a minute, and everyone was thinking that meant he was mulling their words over. That hope was dashed when the emperor-turned-lama just shrugged and said, "Now take me back."
"We're not taking you back," Sora and Elsa both repeated. The latter of the two then added, "Besides, we're new in the area, so we don't even know how to get there."
Kuzco frowned at that bit, before Pacha asked, "How can you be this way? All you care about is building your summer home and filling it with stuff for you."
"Uh, yeah. Doy! Me! Everyone else in the kingdom gets it. You're the only one living in my domain that doesn't seem to be with the program, eh, Pacha?" Kuzco protested.
"You know what? Someday you're going to end up all alone, and you'll have no one to blame but yourself," Pacha tried to warn Kuzco.
Kuzco seemed to think about this for a second or so, running the two's words through his mind, but it, in the end, he just brushed it off as nothing important. "Thanks for that. Like I'm really going to take advice from a whiny peasant," the lama scoffed. "Now for the final time, I order you all to help me get back to the palace."
The others just stood there, staring at him in silent disbelief that the guy was actually ignoring everything they just said, until Pacha finally said, "Looks like you're stuck out here because unless you change your mind, I'm not taking you back."
"Neither are we." Elsa added, "Besides, a true ruler, serves their people. The only person you ever served was yourself."
Kuzco turned to her, "And how would you know?"
"Because where I'm from, I will be their Queen one day!" Elsa admitted, much to Kuzco's shock, "I was raised so I could one day rule my people. One of the most important things my parents taught me is that a true leader serves their people... never to use our power for our own gain. Like what you've been doing."
She raised her hands as she stared at them, "The only thing I ever wanted was to finally be rid or have complete control over my powers so I won't hurt anyone." She then glared at Kuzco, "Even if I didn't have these powers, I would never use my power as future Queen to kick anyone out of their homes to make myself some... some... Water Park!"
Kuzco raised a hoove, "It's technically a summer home with a water slide."
Elsa exclaimed, "WHATEVER! THAT'S NOT THE POINT! GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL, JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE EMPEROR DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO DICATE OVER YOUR PEOPLE!"
Everyone stared at the Snow Queen in shock as Anna muttered, "Wow! I've never seen Elsa get so anger! I mean... it's not like he didn't deserve being scolded like that but still..."
"Yeah," Sora nodded, "He's the first dignity she's met other that our grandfather that abused their power."
Anna turned to him in shock, "And you have?"
Sora nodded, "Scar, Jafar, and the Red Queen just to name a few. Remind me to give you the full story another time." Sora then walked up to them and placed and hand on Elsa's shoulder, "Now, I would have likely chosen different words but I agree full-heartedly with my sisters."
He then added, "And I also meant what I said that deep down you know it's wrong. Also, I lived my life as a peasant and you know what? I loved it. Still do in fact."
Everyone turned to Sora in shock, as he continued, "Sure, it's nice to have servants taking care of your every need. But nothing beats the love of friends who don't care who you are or where you came from. That's why I fight to protect them. To fight for those who can't fight for themselves. And I'd give my life to do it in a heartbeat."
Everyone stared at that, as Sora concluded, "Now then, I suggest we all get some sleep while you think about what we said. Maybe you'll have a change of heart in the morning."
Sora then used his magic to start a new fire much to Pacha's shock but nodded in appreciation. Spider-Man broke the silence, "You know this is the longest conversation I had with a mammal, that wasn't a mutant or an alien."
"What about me?" Kristoff spoke for Sven.
"I'm talking one that isn't using his roommate's voice box." Spider-Man quipped.
Anna wondered, "So, where will we be sleeping? The nearest town is still miles away from here."
"Relax," Sora smiled, "I always keep a few tents in my pocket, I should have enough for everyone."
Elsa stared at her brother in disbelief, "Sora, I have seen you do amazing things but theirs no way, you can keep a whole tent in your..." Just then much to everyone's shock as she stated, "I stand correct."
As Sora pulled out a few more tents, he turned to Rex, Peter, and Kristoff, who all stared at him buggy eyed. Sora smiled, "So, which of you is willing to help me set these up? I'll pull out the sleeping bags afterward."
Rex, Kristoff, and Peter helped the Keyblade's chosen to prepare the tents for everyone. Sora even provided the sleeping bags. When asked why he carried so many, he simply put, "It's a good idea to bring spare tents when staying with Donald and Goofy."
He could remember countless times they accidentally destroyed their own tents, trying to set them up. Donald's temper didn't help either. Sora got a few good laughs out of it though. He smiled at the memories. Soon, the remaining tent to set up was his own, while everyone else had turned in the twins stayed up longer.
While Sora was setting up the last tent. He saw Elsa leaning against a tree. Looking around the jungle in deep thought.
"Something on your mind?" Sora asked while he was still setting up.
Elsa turned to him before asking, "I never really asked before... but your foster parents... what were they like?"
"Oh," Sora smiled as he thought of them, "They were good people. They found me on the islands and even spent months trying to figure out where I came from. They were both of the few cops on the islands."
Elsa nodded, while unfamiliar with the word up the point where Sora had returned and even met a few back in New York. She could see them as knights without the sliver armor ready to defend the innocent. Sora continued, "When they realized they couldn't get me home anytime soon. They took me in as their own. Gave me a bed, feed me, taught me right from wrong... they were good to me. And I think they were glad to take me in since they weren't able to have kids of their own."
Elsa smiled, "They sound like good people..."
"They are," Sora nodded, "They'd love you and Anna." He then frowned, "Although, I'll probably be grounded forever when I get back."
"Sora..." Elsa smiled, "I have a feeling we'll be grounded no matter where we stay."
"Yeah, you're right." Sora laughed as Elsa joined in the laughter.
They quickly calmed down because they didn't want to wake the others up. Elsa turned back to the stars, "You know the day before the accident and papa closed the gates. He was going to take me and Anna camping the next afterward."
Sora nodded as he snickered at the old memory. "It seems like a disaster always changes our course in life. I remembered me, Riku and Kairi were going to sail out to another world on a small raft when we were kids. I mean what did we know about space travel?"
"Yeah." Elsa gave a small laugh and looked down.
"I can tell when something's bothering you," Sora said.
Elsa looked at him with a grin. "Oh? Does your Keyblade give you mind-reading powers?"
"No. But we both ate and slept in the same embryo together." Sora said a little humorously. Then spoke further. "So I'm about the closes person you have to be connected to your heart. Besides Anna and our parents."
Elsa took a deep breath. "I just, wonder sometimes. Out of all the powers I could've received. For Mama saving Papa all those years ago of course. Why did it have to be ice?"
"Would you rather have fire powers?" Sora asked
Elsa's eyes widened as she laughed, "Oh no. Don't even joke about that."
Sora smiled as he came up with what to say. "Look at it this way. It's cold out in the jungle tonight. So it's brought us all together to sit by the fire and stay warm."
"So I have the very thing that people run from?" Elsa groaned quietly.
"No, you have the very thing that brings everyone together," Sora stated.
Elsa looked confused. "What do you mean?"
Sora finished making the last tent and picked four leaves off of a branch. And held up the first one as an example.
"Think about it. When spring comes everyone is outside either planting flowers or searching for Easter Eggs." Sora gave an example.
"That's true. But first, they would look for someone to date and share a box of chocolates." Elsa reference Valentine's Day.
"Did someone say chocolates?!" Anna woke back up hearing chocolate.
"Go back to sleep Anna." Sora and Elsa both said with an amused smile.
Anna dosed back off on her sleeping bag and went back snoring. Then Sora held up a greener leaf.
"And then when summer comes. It's either hot or humid. So kids get out of school and everyone takes a vacation. Either to the beach or some theme park." Sora said.
"I guess an Islander would know that park." Elsa smiled a little.
"Right. And when Autumn comes. Kids are out rolling into a pile of leaves or dressing up for one night to scare folks for candy." Sora said while holding up a discolored leave.
"And then people come together to carve a turkey," Elsa added.
"Speaking of coming together. This brings me to my last point." Sora gave Elsa the last leave. "Freeze this one."
Elsa looked nervous. She only liked using her powers for an emergency. "Sora... I don't."
Sora took her hand and gave her an assuring smile. "Elsa. It's okay, it's just a leaf. Don't make me bring out my list of chicken jokes over a leaf."
Elsa sighed, "Okay." Then she held the leave and she froze it until it crystallizes like a snowflake.
"Do you remember when Honeymaren and Yelena both said that you were the fifth Spirit? The bridge between magic and humanity?" Sora reminded her.
"I remember. But I never understood completely what that meant." Elsa admitted.
"I bridge brings everyone together." Sora clarified.
"Huh?" Elsa looked at him with intrigue as he held up the ice left.
"When winter comes. I can see it now. Every kid is excited about it. Not just for outdoor activities like snowball fights, ice skating, and sled rides." Sora started.
"Or building snowmen." Elsa gave a small smile over to Olaf and Marshmallow, who were both asleep.
"Right. But the most amazing thing about winter. Is that it brings everyone together. Families resting by the fire. While drinking hot cocoa. Their children huddled up with their moms while their dads tell them stories." Sora went on, "And the grand finale being the most wonderful time of the year itself."
"Christmas." They both said and gave a smile laugh.
Then Elsa looked back on days when she and Anna would huddle by the fire. Cuddled on their Mama's lap while a warm blanket. While their Papa would tell them stories like the Enchanted Forest.
"You see? The cold is not a danger. Or a curse. It just depends on how you use it. Just like the warmth. The children look forward to the winter months. Many of them long to see snow for the first time. There's nothing quite like it. It's magical." Sora expressed. " The cold brings people together. Because it reminds us of what we are, and who we have in our lives."
All of a sudden, the twins turned to see Kuzco shivering in the cold. The two sighed. The Emperor of this world refused to sleep in a tent nor sleeping bag despite the fact three fellow royals were going to do so. Elsa sighed, "He's not going to change his mind, is he?"
"We don't know that for sure," Sora responded, "I made friends with people who were a lot worse than Kuzco but ended up growing to be better people because of us. We just need to give it time."
Elsa frowned, "Assuming, he survives that long."
Feeling sorry for him Pacha placed his poncho over him like a blanket something Kuzco noticed and fell right back to sleep. Pacha sat by the twins as he apologized, "Sorry for dragging you kids into this mess."
Sora smiled, "It's no problem, really. I do this sort of thing all the time."
Elsa nodded, "We'll help you try to conceive him to build his summer home somewhere else. Somewhere that doesn't have anybody else living there."
Pacha smiled, "I appreciate that." He then wondered, "You know, I never really asked. What brings you, kids, all the way out here away from your home? I doubt it's just to see what lies beyond your kingdom."
The twins turned to each other before nodding. Silently agreeing to warn Pacha of the situation they were in. Sora turned to him, "Believe it or not we're after a powerful stone called an Infinity Stone."
Elsa nodded, "We also believe it's why Kuzco is in his current... condition."
Pacha's eyes widened as Sora continued, "They're some really bad guys after it so, we need to get it before them otherwise a lot of people are going to get hurt."
"I see..." Pacha nodded, "Wait. If you two and your sister are royalty, then why are you doing this? I doubt your parents would send you all the way out here."
Sora and Elsa turned to each other again and silently agreed not to mention they ran away from home to do this. Elsa simply explained, "Well... it's just that we're the only ones who can and Sora has the most experience than anyone when it comes to both heroics and traveling."
Sora nodded, "That's right! It's also why we brought Rex, Spidey, Kristoff, and Sven along. To keep an eye on my sisters when I'm not around."
Pacha raised an eyebrow, "And the snowmen?"
Elsa shrugged, "Umm... I'm honestly not sure how I managed to do that."
Sora turned to Elsa, "By the way, how did you manage to keep both of them from melting?"
"Oh, mini snow flurries." The elder Princess answered, "I made them naked to the invisible eye so it wouldn't freak anyone else out more than they already have." Sora raised a figure, before she cut him off, "And if you wondering how I did that..."
"You still don't know." Sora assumed putting his finger down.
Elsa nodded, "That's right."
Pacha then got them back on topic, "And you think this stone is where Kuzco was turned into a Llama?"
Sora answered, "It's a good of a start as any but we can't take him back..."
Pacha nodded, "Unless he agrees to build his summer home somewhere else. Guess we're all stuck on the same boat until he agrees to our terms."
"Something tells me that's the least of our worries," Sora muttered as Pacha and Elsa turned to him. He explained, "THose monsters. I've seen them before."
"The Unversed?" Elsa asked recalling the word Sora used, "What are they?"
"Well, they're fledgling emotions that have taken monster form." Sora explained, "But unlike Heartless or Nobodies... only one member of the Organization could create and control them."
Elsa's eyes widened, from what she was told of the Organization, they were dangerous individuals, but Sora defeated them in the past and the guy behind the Stones was before their time. Elsa then wondered, "Then... this man... is he still around?"
Sora shook his head, "He can't be. I watched him die during the War. With him gone, the Unversed should be gone too."
Elsa nodded, "Right, and it can't be the Time Stone since we did get that one."
Pacha didn't fully understand what was going on but it didn't sound good to him as he wondered, "Then... how are they now?"
Sora stared at the stars as he answered, "I don't know... and that's what scares me."
The next day, Sora had awoken from his slumber. He, Elsa, and Pacha had turned in for the night after there long discussion. He noticed he wasn't the first one up as he saw Rex was currently doing some workouts with Anna and Kristoff. He could tell he was trying to get them into shape. He saw Pacha by the river getting a fresh drink of water. The only ones who were still asleep were Kuzco, Peter, Elsa, Sven, Olaf, and Marshmallow. However, as Sora packed up his tent, he saw Kuzco get up and walked over to Pacha. He raised an eyebrow, as he listened in to their conversation. He saw Kuzco return Pacha's poncho to him, "Thanks."
"Oh," Pacha was a little surprised by Kuzco's graduated before replying, "No problem."
Kuzco noted, "Feels like wool."
Pacha nodded in agreement, "Yeah."
Kuzco assumed, "Alpaca?"
Pacha confirmed his assumption, "Oh, yeah, it is."
"Oh, yeah, I thought so." Kuzco commented, "It's nice."
"My wife made it," Pacha told him.
"Oh, she knits?" He asked.
"Crochets." He replied.
"Crochets? Nice." Kuzco nodded before sighing, "So... so, I was thinking that when I got back to the city, we'd, uh...I mean, there's lots of hilltops, and maybe I might, you know...I...I might..."
Anna stopped her work out before she turned to the Emperor, "Are you saying... you've changed your mind?"
Kuzco turned to her as he mumbled nervously, "Oh, well, I... I..."
Everyone turned to him as Sora joined in, "Because you know that means you're doing something nice for someone else."
The emperor nodded, "No, I know that. I know."
"And you're okay with that?" Rex asked.
Sora, Anna, Kristoff, and Rex listened in to see if Kuzco would actually agree to their terms. After what felt like minutes, Kuzco replied, "Yes."
Pacha glared at Kuzco and leaned in close to him. The llama emperor shrugged not sure what else Pacha wanted to hear, "What?"
Pacha held out his hand to seal the deal. Kuzco held out his hoof, before Pacha pulled back, "Don't shake unless you mean it." Kuzco hesitated at first but then shook his hand, Pacha's glare was instantly replaced by a friendly smile, "All right. Let's get you back to the palace."
Everyone sighed in relief as Anna sighed, "Oh, thank goodness..."
Sora smiled, "Let's go wake up the others and pack up. We can get moving."
Pacha smiled and nodded before turning to Kuzco, "Oh, by the way, thanks."
"No... Thank you." Kuzco said, a small, barely noticeable smirk appearing on his face.
As everyone began to pack up the camp, Anna shrugged her sister, "Elsa... wake up..."
Elsa moaned as she stretched out, "What happened?"
"Kuzco changed his mind." Anna told her with a smile, "He's building his summer home somewhere else."
"Really?" Elsa blinked at that, "I thought it take much longer to convince him."
"Well, you'd be amazed what the threat of being trapped in the wilds can do to a fella." Peter walked by whole carrying something heavy as he was helping everyone pack. "My aunt and uncle use to threaten to leave me in the wilds if I didn't keep my grades way up. I didn't realize they weren't joking until I went to high school."
"What?!" Anna gasped at how cruel that sounds.
"He's kidding Anna!" Sora called out hearing their conversation. " He told me that lame joke yesterday!"
"Lame is such a strong word. I'd like to think it's generic." Peter quipped then muttered. "Dang it. That sounded way better in my head."
Elsa crossed her arms, "Something about all of this feels off..."
Peter nodded in agreement, "Yeah, last night it would seem like we'd have an easier time taking Wolverine to Anger Management."
Elsa turned to him at that and stared at him, as Sora told them, "Either way, we should get moving. We need to get that Stone before the Black Order or someone worse gets there hands on that Infinity Stone."
Elsa nodded as she went with her sister to wake up the snowmen and reindeer. However, they were unaware of a dark figure watching the events above them. Vanitas smirked under his helmet, "That's it, brother... take me to the Reality Stone."
A few hours later, Pacha led the group to the palace. Sora took the time explaining what the Unversed were to the others causing some concerns in the group. Soon they came across a rope bridge, the village man told the others, "Okay everyone. Once we cross this bridge, it's only an hour to the palace."
"Good, because believe it or not, I think I need a bath," Kuzco grumbled, smelling his fur and pulling back in disgust.
"We believe it," Anna muttered.
Kuzco asked, "What was that?"
"Nothing," Anna replied.
Olaf observed, "Wow, this bridge looks very old."
Elsa nodded as she turned to Marshmallow, "Yeah, I don't think it'll be able to hold you, big guy... even if I shrunk you down. You might wanna stay here."
Marshmallow nodded in agreement as Peter heard a creaking sound on the bridge, "Yeah... I don't need my Spider-Sense to know this bridge doesn't look safe."
"Relax everyone, this bridge has been here for decades and it's held me, my llama and wagon for delivers. It's completely safe." Pacha reassured everyone as he and Kuzco made it to the halfway point. Right after he finished that sentence, he took one step on the rotting bridge and a board snapped under his feat, causing him to tumble through the hole and be caught in the vines under the bridge.
"Pacha!" Everyone gasped. Sora rushed in to help but Rex stopped, "Wait! If you go charging in, you could end up making things worse... his best chance is in Kuzco's hands."
However, they saw that Kuzco stayed where he was as if he was thinking. Elsa called out to him, "Kuzco!"
"Yeah, hottie?" The emperor asked with a smirk.
Elsa ignored his nickname for her and told him, "Quick, help get Pacha out of there!"
All Kuzco did was jump over the hole in the bridge, "No, I don't think I will."
"You're going to leave me here?" Pacha asked as the entire group staring at him in shock.
"Well, I was going to have you imprisoned for life once hottie's company left, but I kind of like this better," Kuzco admitted
"I thought you were a changed man," Pacha growled.
The Emperor rolled his eyes, "Oh, come on, I had to say something to get you to take me back to the city. Nothing personal, Snow Angel!"
"So all of it was a lie?" Sora snarled, glaring daggers at the emperor.
"Well, yeah. No, wait." Kuzco paused for a moment, thinking until he smirked. "Oh yeah, yeah, it was all a lie. Toodles." Kuzco then turned back Elsa, "Oh, and if ever wanna have an Emperor for a husband, you know where to look!"
With that, he turned his back on the group and walked to the other end of the bridge. Anna shook a fist at Kuzco, "YOU DOUBLE CROSSING BASTARD!"
Pacha yelled furiously, "WE SHOOK HANDS ON IT!"
As everyone tried to think of a way to rescue Pacha Kuzco returned to where he was, "You know the funny thing about shaking hands? You need hands!" He laughed, holding up his hooves for emphasis. "Okay now, bye-bye!"
But, before Kuzco could turn back towards the kingdom before he could go any further the bridge began to collapse sending both Pacha and the emperor fall. Peter looked down to where they were as he stated, "Huh, now that's karma for ya."
Elsa turned to Peter, "Can you use your webs to pull them to safety?"
"Just Pacha," Anna crossed her arms, "We can leave Emperor jerkface there to rot as far as I'm concerned."
"Yeah, we're saving them both, Princess," Peter told her, "It's part of the heroes handbook. It's right under the lines, 'with great power comes great responsibility.'"
Anna sighed and as much as she hated to admit it, they couldn't just leave Kuzco to die. Elsa then asked again, "Well, can you?"
Peter admitted, "I should be too... providing the bridge holds up long enough for me to get to them. Shouldn't be a problem as long as they don't..." Just then, the two began to beat the snot out of each other, "...do that."
Captain Rex nodded, "Yeah, we should have seen that coming."
Just then, someone walked in from behind, "So... this is where the Infinity Stone is? I figured I followed you long enough you'd lead me to it."
Everyone turned around to face the former member of the Organization member, while everyone else was confused who it was, Sora's gasped, "Vanitas!"
During the second Keyblade War, Sora had join forces with Aqua and Ven to confront Terranort and Vanitas. They had just managed to defeat the latter, has his mask began to fall apart finally revealing his face. Sora gasped as he stared at his own face, "Your face...!"
"I'm the piece of Ventus that was taken away." Vanitas explained, "And you're the piece Ventus needed to be whole again. So... why shouldn't you and I look exactly the same? You define me, Sora, the same way that Ventus does. We are brothers who, together, make a greater whole."
"Then why won't you stand by our side?! Instead of with darkness?!" Sora asked.
Vanitas answered, "Because I am darkness. And I do stand by your side. I am the shadow that you cast. How much closer could I be?"
"But I didn't..." Sora started.
However, Ven cut him off with a more calm voice, "But I didn't ask for this. To be shifted apart, nice and neat. We should be free to choose. Not just light, not just darkness. We decide what we are."
"But... Ventus, I did decide who I am. Do you see?" Vanitas replied.
Ven glared, "And what you are is darkness?!"
"What I am is darkness." Vanitas nodded as he began to fade away.
Ven didn't like it one bit but accepted it, "Okay."
Sora, however, didn't accept it, "How is that okay?! Vanitas!"
But nothing they could do as Vanitas faded back to the darkness as he gave one final evil smirk...
Back in the present, Vanitas smirked under his helmet, "It's been a long time."
Sora glared, "Not long enough."
Anna blinked before turning to Sora, "Wait? You know this guy?"
Vanitas retorted, "Oh, you mean you never told our dear sisters about me. I'm hurt."
Anna, even Elsa, were backtracked by that statement as the former turned to her older siblings, "Hold on! I thought you said Sora was our only brother?"
Elsa answered, "That's because he is, I don't know what this guy's talking about!"
Vanitas spoke up, "That's because we never met in the flesh. I am Vanitas."
"How is that your still alive?" Sora glared at the villain, "I saw you fade away!"
"You also saw both the old man's Heartless and Nobody and they returned along with most of the members of the Orignal Organization," Vanitas smirked, "Are you really that surprised?"
"You know what I meant!" Sora snapped.
Vanitas explained, "I have Maleficent to thank for that. She saw my potential and stopped my heart returning to the past upon my defeat. Her goon picked up a new vessel for me so I could be restored." Sora's eyes narrowed, he should have known, as he continued, "She needed my help to get into this place. Thanos built the device the transported us here but she needed a Keyblade Wielder."
"So, you're helping them!" Sora accused.
Vanitas gave an evil chuckle, "You're catching on. You're not a slow-witted as you once were. Yeah, I was intrigued when they told me about the Stones but I knew that fact that you and Ventus would stand in their way so I jumped at the opportunity without a second thought." He then continued, "And thanks to you and your llama friend... you lead me directly to its location."
He continued, "It seems once again you and I are after the same thing, and I'm still a step ahead of you."
Vanitas gave a small evil laugh. Rex drew his blasters at him as Kristoff and Anna followed the Captian, "If you think for a second, we're going to let you past us, you've got another thing coming!"
Anna smirked, "Yeah! We got you outnumbered eight to one!"
Vanitas simply raised his arms as darkness swirled around them, "Count again."
From the darkness, Unversed appeared around them. Elsa's eyes widened as she realized Vanitas was the one Sora was talking about. The Unversed came from him.
"Alright. It's cool. I'm used to getting outnumbered." Spidey shrugged as he in his battle stance beside Sora. "You're Ready to send these Creepazoids to ER?" Everyone turned to Spidey in confusion, before muttering, "I keep forgetting I'm the only one from New York."
Vanitas opened a corridor of darkness and reappeared on the other side of the rope bridge. He told them, "I know your more than capable of defeating these Unversed. They only there to keep you busy. In fact... they're not the only thing that'll keep you busy."
He then summoned his Keyblade in his hand before he used it to strike the bridge causing it to fall apart as well making Kuzco and Pacha fall. Olaf's eyes widened, "Pacha! Kuzco!" He turned to the others, "Guys, we have to help them!"
"We will," Sora reassured him as he glared at the Unversed monsters, "But first, we have to get rid of these guys!"
Vanitas laughed, "Don't take too long! I excepting some major catching up between you and Ventus, brother!"
He then vanished through a Corridor of Darkness. Rex ordered, "Take them down!"
Rex, Anna, and Kristoff opened fired on them. Spider-Man webbed one of the Unversed and spun it around knocking it into other monsters before throwing it aside. Elsa blasted the Unversed away with her ice magic as Sora cut them down with his Keyblade. Marshmallow roared as he swung his fist at the Unversed. Rex turned to Anna, "Watch your left!"
Anna turned around and fired to her left before firing upon the Unversed that lept at her. Rex nodded to see some improvement from the Princess before another Unversed leaped in to attack before it was cut down by a certain Prince. Anna beamed, "HANS!"
Everyone briefly stopped fighting before turning to the Prince of the Southern Isles as their eyes widened, "Hans?!"
Rex demanded, "What are you doing here?!"
Hans told him, "Helping you of course!" He avoided an attack from an Unversed before cutting it down, "Can we talk about this after we've dealt with these monsters?!"
Sora's eyes narrowed but nodded, "Fine!" Despite the fact, he didn't want this guy anywhere near his little sister, they had to finish this quickly. Kuzco's and Pacha's lives depended on them. He placed a hand to his heart, "GIVE ME STRENGTH!"
With that fire swirled around him and from the flames stepped forth a lion. Simba's eyes narrowed in anger as he let forth a mighty roar. Kristoff's eyes widened, "Wait! You can summon a fricking Lion?!"
"NOW THAT IS DOPE!" Spidey exclaimed in thrill seeing Sora with the blazing lion. Simba pounced on the Unversed sending them ablaze as well as the ground around them. Everyone else helped out as they could taking care of any stragglers. When finished, Simba and Sora leaped into the around as Simba became a ball of fire which exploded destroying the rest of the Unversed. Sora then landed in front of the group.
He nodded to them, "Alright, let's go help Kuzco and Pacha!"
Hans blinked, "Who's Kuzco and Pacha?"
Just before anyone could answer him a swarm of bats fell into the air, from where the bridge once was. Following the bats was none other the Kuzco and Pacha who landed right behind them. Everyone stared at the duo, as Spidey stated, "I... not even sure if I want to know how that happened."
Pacha and Kuzco humorously chuckled as the former stated, "Yeah, it's hard to believe enough as it is."
Just then, he ground directly beneath Pacha began to crumble away as the man stumbled and tripped. Thinking quickly, Kuzco rushed towards him, grabbed Pacha by his poncho, and pulled him away from the edge just as the fallen pieces of earth tumbled. Kuzco cheered, "Whoo-hoo! Yeah! Oh, look at me and my bad self."
He turned to a stunned Pacha, "I snatched you right out of the air." He then turned back to where the ground that Pacha stood on was, "'Oooh, I'm a crumbly canyon wall and I'm taking you with me.' Well, not today, pal."
"Uh-huh. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. Uh-huh." Kuzco sang and danced as everyone was stunned by the Emperor's heroic actions.
Pacha was actually the first one to speak, "You just saved my life."
Kuzco stopped celebrating before realizing what he had done, "So?"
"I knew it!" Pacha smiled.
"Knew what?" Kuzco wondered.
Sora smirked, "That there is some good in you after all."
"Oh, no!" He denied.
Peter joined in, "Admit it!"
"Wrong." The emperor continued to deny.
Olaf added, "Yes, there is."
"Nuh-uh!" Kuzco shook his head.
Sora stated, "We think there is."
"No way!" He exclaimed.
Pacha pointed out, "Hey, you could've let me fall."
"Come on, what's the big deal? Nobody's that heartless!" Kuzco snapped before he realized what he said and gasped. He quickly added, "Don't read too much into it. It was a one-time thing."
Hans only take on it was, "How is the Llama talking?"
Sora turned to him suspiciously, "I thought you said you've been a Keyblade Wielder for years?"
"Yeah," Hans blinked, "Why?"
Sora asked as he crossed his arms, "Shouldn't you've seen far stranger stuff then this by now?"
Hans shrugged, "Uh... no... most of the places I visited seemed very normal compared to this."
Anna seemed to accept the answer, Olaf looked more confused, everyone else gave Hans suspicious looks. Rex then spoke up, "What are even doing here anyway? You were supposed to be helping my brothers dealing with any remaining Heartless on Christophsis?"
"They said they had it handled," Hans answered, "Besides, you guys you could use some more help."
Before anyone could deny him, Anna beamed, "We'd love to have you. You see we've got to..."
However, before she could say too much, Elsa covered her mouth much to her shock, "Anna... Stop talking..."
Kuzco admitted, "Okay, I'm not sure why but there's something about that guy I don't like."
"And that's a lot coming from a vainglorious Llama," Spidey muttered.
"So most places you visit are normal right? Do they include a whole city of Superheroes with a talking Raccoon and tree? An alien galaxy? But a talking Llama is where reality draws a line?" Sora inquired looking skeptical at Hans.
"It also smells funky to me, and I'm not even sure what the kid is talking about." Kuzco agreed, while not understanding what city Sora was referring to because he certainly never heard of it.
Elsa, who was still cover Anna's mouth, simply told him, "It's complicated."
Anna continued to muffle as she tried to remove Elsa's hand. Hans raised an eyebrow, "There were a talking tree and a raccoon?"
"To be fair, he wasn't really with us in New York or Asgard," Kristoff admitted. Everyone turned to Kristoff as he raised his hands in defense, "I'm just saying."
Pacha turned to Elsa, "So, what's the story with this guy?"
"Well, in short, he's kinda been following us and Anna kinda has a thing for him. Not to mention..." Elsa tried to explain.
Pacha simply raised a hand, "Ah, say no more, as a father, I understand completely."
Anna finally removed Elsa's hand from her mouth, "Why is everybody giving Hans so much grief? What about the guy in the mask that claims to be our brother?"
Sora sighed as he turned back to them, "As much as I hate to admit it, but Anna's right on that fact. Vanitas is the more concerning matter at the moment."
"Just who is Vanitas anyways?" Rex wondered, "And what's his beef with you?"
Sora sighed as he stared, "Elsa, Anna, remember when I first talked about my past I came in contact with a boy named Ventus."
The sisters blinked at that as Elsa nodded, "Of course, he along with Terra and Aqua were Keyblade Weidlers when were still children. They fought Master Xehanort with everything they had to stop him and as of result, Aqua was trapped within the Realm of Darkness, Terra was possessed by Xehanort, and Ventus's heart was too badly damaged so he stayed inside your heart until over a year ago... almost two at this point."
Everyone gave Elsa strange looks as she stated, "Once again, it's a long story."
Anna then asked, "But what does Vanitas have to do with Ventus?"
Sora explained, "Well, I never told how Ven got into that situation." He recalled the story, "Before Elsa and I were born, Ven was actually an apprentice to Master Xehanort. He believed Ventus was the key in recreating the X-blade."
"Um... I thought Xehanort was a Keyblade Master?" Spidey muttered.
Elsa explained, "It's not a Keyblade. It's well the greek letter X."
Spidey turned to her, "Isn't pronounced Chi?"
Elsa nodded, "Yes, but it's what most people called it since all Keyblade's were based on that weapon."
Peter nodded as Sora continued, "Xehanort thought the only way for Ven to recreate the X-blade, he needed to give in to the darkness but Ven knew the weapon was far too dangerous and refused to recreate it. Nearly giving his life so it could never be recreated. However, Xehanort wasn't giving up to easily so he removed the darkness from Ventus's heart and created Vanitas from it."
"Okay..." Elsa nodded, "That explains Ven's connection to him but what about you?"
"I was getting to that," Sora reassured her, "Sometime after, Ven came in connect with my heart as his own was too badly damaged, I offered to share mine until he could get the rest of his heart back." Peter raised a finger and prepared to speak, "And before you ask, no, I was most likely still in mom when it happened so I can't remember that it happened at all."
Peter put his finger down. Sora continued, "Years later, when both Ven and Vanitas were at their strongest Xehanort had them fight each other in order to recreate the weapon, instead, they struck each other down, and Ven's heart left his body and went into mine in order to heal where it remained for most of my life. This happened after I was moved to the Destiny Islands by the way. However, since Ven's heart and my heart were connected... Vanitas somehow became a part of that connection as well."
Anna then realized, "So, that's why he thinks he's our brother."
"Yeah," Sora admitted, "And under that helmet... he looks exactly like me."
Elsa muttered, "Okay, that is slightly disturbing."
"Yeah, and I thought Cyclops and Havok were dysfunctional," Spider-Man muttered. "Hope he's nothing like Vulcan."
"Xehanort brought him back from the past to be one of his thirteen darkness," Sora explained, "When he was defeated, he was supposed to return to the time of his defeat. Instead..."
"Maleficent restored him and had him agree to work for both her and Thanos," Elsa realized, "Along with the Unversed."
Anna then thought aloud, "So, in short, we have an evil older brother as of a result."
Sora nodded, "Pretty much."
"As things were complicated enough already," Rex muttered to himself, "We should get a move on if we're going to beat Vanitas to his objective."
Pacha nodded, "Right, Well, we better get going. With that bridge out, it's going to be a long walk to the palace."
Kuzco was shocked by this, "What? You mean you're still taking me back?"
"I shook on it, didn't I?" Pacha asked.
The emperor nodded, "Well, yeah, but I hope you realize that doesn't change a thing. I'm still building Kuzcotopia when I get back."
Hans blinked, "Kuzco what now?"
Anna groaned, "Don't get us started."
"Well, this could be a long time. Who knows? Maybe you'll change your mind." Pacha shrugged.
Rex turned to Pacha, "How much of a walk are we talking about here?"
"Unfortunately," Pacha answered, "Three days."
The Clone sighed, "That gives Vanitas plenty of time to search for the Stone." His eyes widened, "Unless..." Rex turned to Hans, "Maybe, you could help us after all."
Hans brightened up, "How can I help?"
Sora understood where Rex was getting at, he picked up where the Captian started, "While we take Kuzco the long way, we need you to get over there and stop him or stall him long enough for the rest of us to get there."
Hans raised an eyebrow, "Um... did you forget that the bridge is out?"
Sora asked, "Haven't you learned to glide yet?"
Hans blinked, "We can glide?"
Sora mentally groaned, of coarse this amateur didn't know how to fly, he never went to Neverland. However, Spider-Man had another idea, "I may have another idea..."
Hans turned to Spider-Man, "Really? How?"
"You see." Peter told him, "Just follow me."
Hans followed him, as Sora put on a fake smile, "See? We trust him."
"Uh-huh." Anna crossed her arms not believing him.
Elsa sighed before she decided to stop pulling their punches, "Anna, we talk about this back at the Falcon, I thought you said you won't try to be alone with him. You literally just tried to not only that but tell him unnecessary information to a complete stranger."
"Number one, it doesn't count when you have your fingers crossed," Anna smirked as she revealed her crossed fingers.
Kuzco turned to her, "You're willing to lie to own siblings to get what you want kinda like what I did with Pacha... you know a bit of a hypocrite, right."
"Kuzco's right," Elsa nodded before feeling an odd taste in her mouth, "Wow. That felt weird to say."
Anna rolled her eyes as she continued, "And second, Hans is not a stranger."
Kristoff joined in, "Oh yeah? What's his last name?"
Anna shrugged, "Of the Southern Isles."
Sora then asked, "What's his favorite food?"
Anna answered, "Sandwiches."
Elsa wondered, "Eye color?"
Anna beamed, "Dreamy."
"Foot size?" Kuzco wondered.
Anna shrugged, "Foot size doesn't matter..."
Kristoff asked, "Have you even had a meal with him yet? What if you hate the way he eats? What if you hate the way he picks his nose?"
Anna's eyebrows shot up and her face wrinkled in disgust even Elsa turned slightly disgusted, "Picks his nose?"
"And eats it," Kristoff added.
"Excuse me, sir," Anna was now glaring at him. "He is a prince."
Kristoff shrugged nonchalantly. "All men do it!"
"Ewww!" Both Elsa and Anna yelped, as the former stated, "Wait time out, I've known Sora all my life, he'd never do something like that!"
Kuzco nodded, "Yeah and neither have I!"
Pacha shook his head, "First time, I'm hearing it."
Kristoff sighed, "Okay, maybe I was exaggerating but you get my point."
Anna crossed her arms, "Well, it doesn't matter it's true love."
Sora admitted, "It doesn't sound like true love to me and I've seen true love."
Anna raised an eyebrow, "Oh, really name them."
"Alright," Sora smirked as he counted them down, "Aladdin and Jasmine, Jack and Sally, Beast and Belle, Shang and Mulan, Herc and Meg, King Mickey and Queen Minne, Donald and Daisy, Will and Elizabeth, Simba and Nala, Eugene and Rapunzel..."
Anna stopped him before he could go on even further, "Okay, okay! I get it! You've been to many places with a bunch of couples!"
Elsa added, "Not to mention, he's the only one of us actually in a relationship." Sora was beginning to feel frustrated as she continued, "So maybe he actually knows what he's talking about."
Olaf added, "Not to mention, he's a really good judge of character."
Elsa smiled, "That too! Thanks, Olaf!"
However, before Anna could say anything else, they all saw Hans being flung to the other side. He screamed and landed not so gracefully to safety. Peter returned to the group as he told them, "And that solves that problem!"
Anna was completely horrified, "Oh my gosh! Did you just throw him over to the other side!"
Peter crossed his arms, "Now, that's ridiculous!" Peter smirked under his mask, "I used my webs to make a slingshot, used him as the ball, and shot him across!"
Everyone stared at him before Elsa cracked up laughing as Anna glared at her, "Stop it! It's not funny!"
"I-I'm sorry," Elsa laughed, "But... but, but it really is!"
Elsa clutched her stomach, she was laughing so hard, as Sora turned to Peter, "You know, I'm impressed. No one makes Elsa laugh that hard... I mean... other than me and Anna."
Spidey smirked under his mask, "Thanks!"
Anna rolled her eyes before checking in on Hans, "You okay, Hans?"
"Yeah," Hans nodded as he dusted himself off, "Yeah, I'm okay!"
"Remember! Stall Vanitas! We'll catch up soon!" Sora called out to Hans as he picked up his giggling twin sister, "Three days more or less!"
"Okay! You got it!" Hans answered back. "Catch you later! And thanks for the ride Spidey!"
Spider-Man scoffed, "He didn't even pay me."
Elsa took deep breaths as she stated, "Okay, okay, I think I'm good."
Rex was also amused by the events before he stated, "Well, we better get a move on if we're going to beat Vanitas to that Stone."
Everyone nodded before Kuzco wondered, "So, three days? Any chance of any of you carrying me there?"
Pacha answered for everyone, "Not good."
Unaware to them, Yozora was both watching and following them...
Meanwhile, Yzma and Kronk searched the whole Kingdom for Kuzco and there was no sign of him. She wore the Reality Stone proudly on her hat, though she was upset they weren't able to find the talking llama.
"No! No! No!" Yzma exclaimed as she crossed off places on the map, "We've searched every village on the palace and still no sign of Kuzco! Where is he?!" She then pulled down a device to talk to her sidekick, "Kronk!"
"Kronk here." He replied as he ran his way through the jungle.
Yzma replied, "I'm getting tired! Pullover!"
"Sure thing. Kronk out." He nodded.
He then stopped where he was as he carried Yzma's carry on tent. He then when on all fours so his boss would have an easier time getting to the ground. Yzma walked out of her ride and stepped on Kronk as he gasped in pain. But she didn't care, she only continued to complain as she tried to walk through the mud, "Perfect... These were my best shoes." She removed her shoes she could move, "I hate this jungle."
She then pulled her scarf around her neck, but it was covered in mud and it only made her angrier...as well as attracting a swarm of bees. She screamed as she tried to run away, he screams fell deaf to Kronk's ears as he noticed a bird, "Oh, look. A golden-throated small-winged warbler. Just one more for exotic bird bingo. I am loving this."
Yzma continued to run and screamed from the bees until she tried and fell into the mud. She looked up to see a squirrel giving her a kind smile and offered her an acorn. She exclaimed, "GET AWAY FROM ME!"
The squirrel jumped into Kronk's hand for safety before jumping on his elbow to yell at the ugly woman before turning to Kronk. He told the squirrel, "Yeah, tell me about it." The squirrel gestured his hands to himself as he continued to talk. Kronk shook his head, "No, no, it's not you. She's not the easiest person to get close to. There's a wall there, trust me."
"Are you talking to that squirrel?" Yzma asked as she wiped the mud off her face.
Kronk smiled proudly, "I was a junior chipmunk, uh, and I had to be versed in all the woodland creatures. " He then turned his attention back to the squirrel, "Please continue."
As the squirrel continued to talk about his problems lately, Yzma groaned as she walked away, "Why me? Why me? Why me? Why...?"
Kronk defended the squirrel, "Hey, it doesn't always have to be about you. This poor little guy's had it rough. Seems a talking llama gave him a hard time the other day."
Yzma beamed, finally...a lead she rushed to the two of them, cause the squirrel to run behind Kronk's other shoulder, "Oh, a talking llama? Do tell."
The Squirrel instead yelled at the villain as Kronk translated, "Uh, he doesn't really wanna talk to you."
"Well, then you ask him." She frowned.
Kronk signed, "Hate being in the middle." He then turned to the squirrel, "Squeaky, uh, squeak, sqeaker, squeakin'?" The squirrel told Kronk his deal with the talking llama as he gestured the event. Kronk nodded, "Jaguars. No kidding."
Yzma grinned as she liked as where the story was going, despite not knowing the word he said, she leaned in closer. Eventually, she was closer enough for the squirrel to notice her. She squirrel stopped refused to speak any more, Kronk turned to his boss, "Uh, could you give us a little room here?"
"Oh, sorry." She apologized as took a step back.
The squirrel turned to Kronk and muttered something. Kronk translated, "A little bit more, please?"
Yzma glared but she walked a mile from them and asked, "How's this?!"
Kronk turned to the squirrel who nodded to him. He then told Yzma, "Yeah, that's good."
She then yelled, "Now, ask him which way the talking llama went?!"
Kronk asked the squirrel, "Uh, Squeaky, squeak, squeakin'?"
The squirrel pointed the way, and a few minutes later they were off...
Back with the group, Pacha ended up carrying Kuzco due to the fact of the monsters they kept running into. Peter even offered to carry Elsa after taking a hit from a Heartless, which were also on this world, even after Sora cast a healing spell on her. She tried to say it was fine but Peter insisted. As they walked along Sora noticed how close Peter and Elsa were getting as the latter took notice as she asked, "What?"
Sora smiled before telling her, "Nothing."
Just then, they heard a growl as Kuzco was startled as he panicked, "What's that?! Another monster? A Jaguar! Don't let them get me!"
"Actually, Kuzco... that was my stomach. I'm hungry." Sora replied with sight embarrassed.
Kuzco calmed down at that as well felt kinda embarrassed, "Oh..." He then realized, "Now that, you mentioned it I'm kinda hungry too."
"Well, it just so happens the best restraint in the jungle is only a mile away. We can stop there to eat." Pacha suggested.
"Sweet," Sora pumped a fist, "I hope it's like the Bistro in Twilight Town." He sighed, "I miss Little Chief's cooking."
Elsa and Anna heard of Little Cheif and the Bistro. At first, they were disgusted when they learned a rat was a cook. However, after seeing some of the images of some of the food Sora had help prepared from his GummiPhone and the fact Little Cheif took precautions when cooking, they had to admit, they really wanted to try some of the food over there.
"Sweet," Sora pumped a fist, "I hope it's like the Bistro in Twilight Town." He sighed, "I miss Little Chef's cooking."
Elsa and Anna heard of Little Chef and the Bistro. At first, they were disgusted when they learned a rat was a cook. However, after seeing some of the images of some of the food Sora had help prepared from his GummiPhone and the fact Little Chef took precautions when cooking, they had to admit, they really wanted to try some of the food over there.
"Little Chef?" Peter inquired. "Is there another place where Gordon Ramsey's a dwarf?"
Once again, Peter got strange looks from everyone as Kuzco muttered, "What are you even talking about?"
Spidey sighed, "Once again, only New Yorker here... at least everyone back home actually understood my jokes."
With that, everyone made their way to the restraint, when they arrived they noticed a sign showing that llamas weren't allowed. Sora commented, "Okay, that might be a problem."
Rex nodded, "How exactly are we going to get Kuzco inside? I doubt anyone would believe us if we said their emperor was turned into a llama."
Everyone thought about it for a moment, before Kuzco's eyes widened, "Hey, I have an idea. But I'm going to need help for the ladies."
Anna and Elsa raised an eyebrow as Kuzco explained his plan to them. They smiled...that wasn't such a bad idea...
"Welcome to Mudka's meat hut home of the mug..." The waitress told everyone as she turned to Kuzco, who was currently disguised as a girl, he giggled like one too. She finished, "...of meat. What can I get you all?"
"We'll have all have the specials. Is that alright, dear?" Pucha asked the disguised llama.
Kuzco replied in his girl's voice, "Oh, whatever you say, pumpkin. You know what I like."
"We're on our honeymoon." Pacha lied with a little laugh.
The waitress nodded, "Bless you for coming out in public..."
"I say, we did a good job all things considering..." Anna muttered. Elsa elbowed her to stop talking. The waitress turned to the others, "And you kids are?"
Sora thought for a moment before lying, "Um... Family reunion party!"
Rex nodded as the waitress gave him and Peter strange looks, especially since the latter refused to take his mask off, "Uh... right. My nephew and I were just getting back from a costume party to catch up with the rest of the family. He's a little shy."
"And we're here to also celebrate our friends' union in marriage," Elsa added.
The waitress seemed to accept that and wrote down the order, "So, that'll be 8 specials."
Kuzco quickly added, "And an onion log...to split."
The waitress just stared at Kuzco before turning away, to tell the cook what to make. Once she was gone everyone burst out laughing. Elsa stopped laughing to tell Kuzco, "Okay, we'll admit. This was a good idea."
Kuzco smirked, "When will you learn all my ideas are good."
Pacha pretended to think, "Well that's funny because I thought going in the jungle by yourself, being chased by Jaguars, lying to us to take you back to the palace, and leaving everyone that could protect from monsters were all really bad ideas."
"Oh, well anything sounds like a bad idea with that attitude." Kuzco defended himself.
Kristoff asked, "You sure Sven, Olaf, and Marshmallow will be alright hanging outside by themselves?"
Sora shrugged, "I'm sure they'll be fine. It's not long we could've sneaked them in here as well. Kuzco was enough of a challenge as it was." He quickly added, "No offense."
"None taken," Kuzco reassured before nodding, "And I have to agree with you. No way we could've snuck to living snowmen here."
"Right," Rex nodded, "We eat and get out. We have a long journey if we're going to get Kuzco home and stop the enemy."
Everyone nodded in agreement as the waitress returned with the food, "Hot grizzling pill bug for the happy couple and their friends. Mazel Tov."
She threw condfeddie in there air for the 'couple.' Kuzco sniffed at his food as everyone else wondered, what kind of food was this. Pacha just grinned and gave his food a light tap, opening the ball food, "Oh, boy."
He started eating it like it's the best food ever while everyone else was disgusted by it. Anna whispered, "What the heck is this?"
Sora blinked, "It's not like any food I've seen. Timon and Pumbaa would probably love this place though."
"Bear Grylls would eat this crap." Peter muttered quietly.
Just then, they heard someone from their table actually eating the food. Everyone looked around before notice Rex was actually trying to eat the food. He noticed the stares he was getting before answering, "Believe it or not, it's not the worse thing my brothers and I have eaten. Sometimes food was scarce and we had to make do with what we could get on the battlefield. Though, it's definitely on the ten."
"Is 10 the best or the worst?" Elsa muttered to the others.
Rex wondered, "You sure you don't want to eat this? It could be a while before we run into another restaurant."
Anna winced as the Captain made another bite, "We're good."
Everyone gave similar responses as Rex shrugged before going back to his meal, "Suit yourselves."
Sora sighed, "Now, I'm really missing the Bistro."
Peter muttered, "We haven't been there and we agree with you."
Kuzco began to leave the group, Rex wondered, "Where are you going?"
"I'm just going to slip into the kitchen and have a word with the chef," Kuzco answered in hopes he could get a better meal then what they currently had.
Pacha warned him, "You're going to get us thrown out."
Kuzco just told them, "Please. With this disguise, I'm invisible."
As everyone watched Kuzco head to the kitchen, Kristoff began to stand up, "I'm going to check on Sven and our snowmen. We probably leaving sooner than we think."
As Kristoff left, Yzma and Kronk entered the restaurant. Pacha and Rex continued with their meals while everyone hoped they'd finish or Kuzco got them all kicked out. They proceeded to sit behind Pacha's table as the old woman complained, "We've been walking around in circles for who knows how long. That is the last time we take directions from a squirrel! I should have done away with Kuzco myself when I had the chance!"
Everyone gasped while Pachu and Rex nearly choked on their food at what they just heard. Peter's eyes widened at that, "Did you guys hear that?"
Everyone nodded, as Sora's eyes widened, "Do you guys see that?"
Rex nodded, "Yeah, that is the ugliest woman ever." After a pause, he added, "Of all time."
"Oh, that's just rude guys. I mean just because she's evil, doesn't give us the right to judge her on her lo..." Anna told them as she looked behind their table, her eyes widened as she turned back to the others, "Well, I'm going to have nightmares...for the rest of my life."
Sora shook his head, "No, not the hag. What see's wearing."
Everyone blinked as Elsa took another look, her eyes widened as she noticed it, "The Reality Stone! She's wearing it!"
Kronk told her, "Oh, you really gotta stop beating yourself up about that." She just glared at the man and was so mad she bent her fork. Kronk replied, "Uh oh. I get you another one there, Yzma."
Realizing what was going to happen next, Rex whispered to Pacha, "Just stay calm and act natural."
Pacha nodded as Kronk turned to him, "Hey, are you using that fork, pal?" Pacha handed him the fork rather quickly. Kronk raised an eyebrow, "Hey, don't I know you?"
Pacha shook his head, "I...I don't think so."
"Wrestled you in high school?" He assumed.
Pucha shook his head, "Don't remember that, no."
"Metal shop? Oh, I know, Miss Nalca's interpretive dance, two semesters. I was usually in the back because of my weak ankles. C'mon, you gotta help me out here." Kronk kept on guessing.
The other realizing that if he figured out he has been helping the Emperor, they'd all be in trouble. Anna quickly said, "Maybe you should sleep on it? You know, you might come up with it eventually?"
"Oh, good idea. Thanks, ma'am. I'll think of it eventually." Kronk nodded eventually turning back to Yzma.
Sora whispered, "Okay, new plan. Pacha and I will try to sneak Kuzco out. Then once he's safe, I'll try to swipe the Stone from her."
Everyone nodded, as Elsa spoke for everyone, "Right, be careful you two."
Rex nodded as he grabbed his helmet, "We'll be right outside."
With that, Sora and Pacha went after Kuzco as everyone else left the restaurant...
"Look, all I know is the food looked if-ey. And I'm not the only one who thinks that. I'm sure." Kuzco continued to have his word to the chief as he glared at him the whole time. Pacha and Sora peeked into the kitchen, trying to get his attention. The Emperor didn't seem to notice them as he continued, "I'm just checking to make sure, to take your main coarse up a notch."
"Ugh, we don't have time for this...let's just grab him and go!" Sora told the village leader.
With that, Sora and Pacha went to grab him. However, this didn't stop Kuzco from talking, "Look, it's a simple question, is there or is there not anything edible...on this menu?"
Sora and Pacha tried to pull him out of the Kitchen but then they saw Kronk heading there way. Sora muttered, "I hope this place has a back door."
They quickly ran to the storage room as Kuzco told everyone, "Hey, I haven't asked him about dessert, yet!"
Pacha slammed the door, as Sora peeked out the crack of the door, Kronk walked up to the chief, "Hey pal, what's your policy about making special orders?"
The chief finally lost it, "All right, buster! That's it! You want a special order?! Then you make it! I QUIT! I try and I try but no one has respected vision!"
Kronk tried to stop him but the chief just gave his hat, collected all of his possessions, and left the store mumbling to himself. Immediately, Kronk took his place as chief and start making foods the look actually worth eating. Sora turned to the others, "He's distracted for now, how's that back door coming?"
"It's locked," Pacha replied.
Sora quickly summoned his Keyblade, "I got this."
He gave a light tap on the door unlocking their exit...
Meanwhile, Yozora had tracked down Sora to the restaurant and readied his crossbow, hoping to take him by surprise. The back door opened as Yozora prepared to pull the trigger. Nothing would stop him now...
"That did it!" Pacha beamed getting the door to open, "Let's get out of here."
"In a minute, I'm still hungry," Kuzco told the four of them and went back to the kitchen.
The two turned to the Emperor and panicked, "No, Kuzco!"
Just then, the back door closed much to Yozora's confusion. He couldn't help but wonder why Sora would go back the way he came if his enemies were right behind him...
As Kronk prepared orders, Kuzco passed him as he told him, "Okay, I'll make it simple for you, I'll have a spinach omelet with meat and toast. You got that?"
Kronk, not even noticing that it was the emperor, nodded, "Can do."
As Kuzco walked back to his seat, the two men tried to follow him when Yzma entered the room, "What's taking so long?!"
Everyone panicked and hide under the table, as Kronk finished his previous order, "Pick up!"
"Kronk! What are you doing?" She demanded.
Kronk replied, "Kinda busy here."
He reached his hand under the table for a bowl as Yzma replied, "Why am I not surprised?"
Both Sora and Pacha's eyes widened as the latter quickly reached for a bowl. He gave it to Kronk, as he continued to make the meals, "Your orders up!"
Yzma groaned, "Oh, well." She decided she might as well get a good meal out of this, "While you're at it, make me the special. And hold the gravy!"
"Check. Pickup." Kronk nodded as he continued cooking.
Yzma left as Kuzco came back, "You know what? On second thought, make my omelet a meat pie."
The two came back out of the table to reach for Kuzco left, as Kronk replied, "Meat pie. Check."
"Kronk?" Yzma returned. Pacha quickly imitated the restaurant's icon while Sora hid behind the door trying to reach for the Infinity Stone while he had the chance, while Yzma was unaware, "Can I order the potatoes as a side dish?"
Kronk cut carrots as he replied, "I'll have to charge you full price."
Yzma growled in annoyance as she returned to her seat, as Sora missed, and right on queue Kuzco returned, "Hey, how about a side of potatoes, buddy?"
Sora and Pucha tried to reach Kuzco again as Kronk replied, "You got it."
"Want cheese on those potatoes?" Kronk asked as Yzma returned causing them to return to their hiding spots as Sora made another attempt for the Stone.
She nodded, "Thank you, Kronk. Cheddar will be fine."
"Cheddar spuds coming up." Kronk nodded as he was about to pour the hot cheese on the hot potatoes.
Yzma left making Sora pull back as Kuzco returned, "Spuds yes, cheese no."
"Hold the cheese." Kronk stopped putting the cheese back. The two were beginning to see a pattern even Sora tried to make attempts for the Infinity Stone but failed.
"No, I want the cheese!" Yzma told her henchman.
Kronk nodded, "Cheese it is."
"Cheese, me no likey!" Kuzco shook his head.
Kronk stopped himself from pouring the cheese, "Cheese out."
"Cheese in!" Yzma exclaimed.
Kronk complained, "Ah, come on, make up your mind!"
"Okay, okay, on second thought..." Kuzco returned for a final time as Yzma returned on the other side of the door as they both told him, "Make my potatoes a salad."
Both Sora and Pacha facepalmed themselves wondering how Kuxco continued to be not noticed. Kuzco left as Yzma stopped in shock. She could have sworn she heard Kuzco's voice but shrugged it off as she returned to her table. With Kronk distracted and Yzma finally gone, Sora and Pacha left the kitchen. Good news, both the Emperor and villainess didn't notice each other, bad news if the made any move towards Kuzco or the Stone could make Yzma finally notice them. Pacha groaned, "It's a miracle, they haven't recognized him yet. How are we going to get him or your magic stone out of here without drawing her attention?"
Sora thought for a moment before his eyes lit up, "I have an idea. We might not be able to get the Stone at the moment, but we can at least get Kronk out."
Pacha nodded, "Well if you have an idea, I suggest you do it."
Sora looked around and spotted the waitress that severed them, he quickly whispered something to the waitress that served them and gestured towards Yzma as well as paid for his family and friends' meal. She replied with a thumbs up, "No problem, honey. We do that all the time."
Meanwhile, as Yzma looked at her menu, she noticed something strange about the woman who sat at the table across from her. That woman looked awfully like a llama...could it possibly be..."1,2,3,4!" This caused Yzma to gasped I'm surprised as the people who worked there sang, "Happy, happy birthday! From all of us to you! We wish it was our birthday, so we could party too!"
With Yzma distracted, Sora and Pucha grabbed Kuzco and they quickly dashed for the exit. Yzma was annoyed as she wore a sombrero with a birthday cake on her table. The people continue to sing, "Happy, happy birthday! May all your dreams come true! We wish it was our birthday, so we could party too! HEY!"
Kronk laughed with joy as he continued cooking, "It's your birthday?!"
Everyone waited as Sora and Pacha rejoined them with Kuzco. Rex smiled, "Good! You two got Kuzco! And the Stone?"
Sora groaned, "She still has it, I couldn't get to it without endangering Kuzco."
Elsa sighed as she reassured him, "It's okay... we'll get another chance. At least, we know Vanitas is currently on a wild goose trace."
Kuzco was clueless to what was happening, "What is with you guys? Could someone tell me what's going on?"
Pacha shushed him, "Kuzco, listen, there are two people in there looking for you."
"What?"
"Yeah, there was a big guy and a skinny old woman." Sora nodded.
Kuzco then asked, "Wait. Was this woman scary beyond all reason?"
"Oh, yeah." Anna nodded in agreement as the other followed.
Kuzco beamed as he wiped off the makeup, "That's Yzma and Kronk! I'm saved!"
"Trust me, they're not here to save you!" Pacha warned the llama emperor.
He didn't listen to them though, "They'll take me back to the palace. Thanks for your help. You've been great. I can take it from here..."
"You don't understand! They're trying to kill you!" Anna tried to explain.
Kuzco just laughed thinking it's a joke, "Kill me? Their whole world revolves around me!"
"No! We can't let you!" Pacha exclaimed as he tried to stop the emperor from getting himself killed.
Kuzco then glared at everyone, "What? Wha - oh, I get it! You don't want to take me back to the palace. You want to keep me stranded out here forever! This has all been an act, and I almost fell for it!"
"Will you just listen to us..." Rex tried to speak up.
Kuzco shook his head, "No, no, you listen to me. All you people care about is that stupid hilltop!"
"What?!" Everyone exclaimed.
Kuzco almost thought he made real friends but felt betrayed, "You don't care about me! Now, just get out of here! All of you! Go!"
"But..." They attempted to explain.
However, the llama snapped, "Go on! Get outta here!"
"Fine!" Pacha huffed, Kuzco turning away from the group and walking back to the dinner.
Olaf raised a hand to Kuzco, "But..."
Elsa whispered to the snowman, "Don't worry... we won't go too far..."
Peter added, "We'll jump back in when he needs us."
Meanwhile, Yzma and Kronk came walking down the steps of the diner with birthday cake slices, Kuzco watching them from the bushed with a smile on his face about to revile himself. Yzma complained, "This entire mess is your fault!"
"What'd I do?" Kronk asked.
Yzma replied, "If you hadn't mixed up those poisons, Kuzco would be dead now!"
At Yzma's statement Kuzco's face instantly fell. "There'll be no more diversions until we track that llama down, kill him, and used the Stone to make everything into my image."
"Said I was sorry. Can't we just let it go? It is your birthday." Kronk tried to calm her down.
Yzma continued, "Kuzco must be eliminated! The empire will finally be rid of that useless slug."
"You've got a point. Nobody really seems to care that he's gone, do they?" Kronk admitted, before wondering, "Oh, if we're not stopping, you should probably use the restroom before we go."
Yzma paused as she admitted, "Fine. A quick trip to the restroom, then we eliminate Kuzco!"
Kronk called out, "Don't forget to wash your hands, it's good to kill germs, and it's a great way to practice in case a pandemic starts!"
Kuzco couldn't believe what he just heard. They were telling the truth and even protected him from them. And he turned down the only friends he ever had away. Quickly, he rushed back to where he had last seen Pacha and the others. He called out to them, "Pacha! Sora! Anna! Elsa! Spidey! Olaf! Kristoff! Sven! Marshmallow! Rex!"
"Anyone?!" The emperor called out desperately. He frowned when he received no response. What had he done? This was all his fault. If he'd been a better emperor, a better man, none of this would have happened.
Just then, he heard Sora's voice, "It's okay, Kuzco." He looked up to see them all and smiled as Sora continued, "We didn't go too far. We don't leave friends or family behind."
Kuzco smiled but then began to apologize, "Hey, listen, guys, you know, what I said to you back there, that - that - I - I didn't really..."
Before the llama could go on, Pacha held up his hand for Kuzco to stop talking and offered him a smile of forgiveness, "So, you tired of being a llama?"
Kuzco could only sniffle for a minute before he burst out crying and sobbed, "Ye-ee-ee-es!"
Elsa smiled and made an ice handkerchief and handed it to Kuzco, he sniffed and blew into it, "Thanks."
"We should get going. If their looking for you probably won't be long before they track us down." Rex suggested putting his helmet back on.
"And with the Infinity Stone in Yzma's hands," Sora added, "Who knows what she'll do this place."
Kuzco told them, "I could probably have my guards help you with that but they won't recognize me like this and with the bridge out, it's gonna take THREE DAYS to get us back to the palace!"
"Oh, actually, you don't need to take the bridge!" Kronk suddenly yells at them gaining the attention of the group, "There's a much shorter route just east of here! You just go around the falls and to the small hills and you'll reach the road! You'll reach the palace in less in an hour!"
The party stares Kronk feeling awkward that Yzma's sidekick would tell them a much shorter path, let alone telling it to an enemy. Spidey was actually, "...Well, thanks for the info!"
"Yeah," Sora nodded as he waved, "Thanks, friend!"
"Very good, Kronk! I'll give you a treat when I turn back to human, okay?!"
Everyone waved goodbye at the dimwitted sidekick before departing to the said path with their friends. Kronk naively waves his hands back at our heroes much to Yzma's chagrin, who had just witnessed what happened. Yzma slaps Kronk by his back, "Kronk, you idiot!"
"W-What did I do?" Kronk nervously asks as if he doesn't do anything wrong.
"You lead them back to the palace!" She yells again as she hopped into the carry-on tent, "After them!"
"Is it a bad time to mention that I finally recognized the man from the dinner," Kronk asked, "That the bag I had Kuzco in fell on his cart?"
"KRONK!"
Kronk nodded as he chased after them, "I'm moving!"
Sora and the gang ran all the way through the jungle on the path Kronk mentioned earlier. Olaf looked back as Yzma and Kronk chased after them, "Guys, they're chasing us!"
Anna stopped before aiming her rifle at them, "Wait, why are we running? We can take them?"
However, before she could pull the trigger, what looked like a massive tornado or a giant tsunami of Shadow Heartless came from behind Yzma and aided in the case. Anna's eyes widened, "Okay, that's a lot of Heartless!"
Sora and Kristoff pulled her back as the former told her, "That's a Demon Tide! We can take it on like this!"
"He's right!" Kristoff added, "We've got to move!"
They continued to make a run for it as Yzma, Kronk, and the swarm of Heartless followed them. The Heartless even gave Kronk and Yzma a little boost, Kronk was a little creeped out about it as he stated, "Yeah, that ain't right!"
"Silence, you fool, can't you see they're aiding us!" Yzma scolded, "Just get them! We can't let them turn Kuzco back to human!"
Kronk sighed, "Yeah... but if they end up destroying the world... please don't pin it on me."
The group continued to run as the villains chased them unaware that Yozora was also casing them as well...
Meanwhile, the Foretellers watched the current events that took place. Xigbar admitted, "Okay, I currently didn't see that coming."
"Which one?" Ira wondered, "The Demon Tide giving the ex-advisor a boost or the fact her own goon told them where they needed to go."
Luxu shrugged, "Eh, both!"
"That young man though," Invi stated, "The one with the silver hair, I don't believe he was supposed to be here."
"Yeah, I think his name is Yozora. He was a video game character based on that guy on Toy Box." Xigbar recalled, "Not sure how he's here, but I'm sure it's part of the Master's plan."
Aced pointed out, "Even so, he's endangering the mission. If he interferes, we risk losing the Infinity Stones to him, the big guy, or um... how would you describe that woman?"
Invi offered, "Scary beyond all reason."
Aced nodded, "Yeah, that fits for her."
"Aced's right," Gula stated, "This could be a problem for the Master's plan."
Xigbar nodded, "Fair point, we should probably do something about it."
Gula offered, "I'll buy some time to aid their escape. That should give them the time they need to protect the Stones they do have a retrieve the Reality Stone."
Ira wondered, "You sure that's wise, Gula? It's been years since we fought even the simplest of monsters."
"We don't have a choice," Gula stated, "Besides, he succeeded where we failed. This is the least I can do."
After turning to each other, they gave each other a nod as Ira spoke up, "Alright, but once they're clear, you pull out. Don't stay there longer than you have too."
Gula nodded before summoning his Keyblade and rushed in to aid Sora's group...
The group continued to run from Yzma and the tidal wave of Heartless. Kuzco gasped, "They're gaining on us!"
Pacha told them, "Keep running! We're almost there!"
Kuzco nodded, "Right, right!"
Both Elsa and Peter occasionally made barriers of ice and webs to slow them down, but they never hold for long. Peter muttered, "Could things get any worse?" Just then, his Spider-Sense went off as he sighed, "I had to ask." He then warned Sora, "Sora! To your left!"
Sora resummoned his Keyblade and blocked a strike from... Sora's eyes widened, "Yozora?!"
After shoving him off, Elsa asked as they kept running, "Isn't he the guy who tried to kill you before coming home?"
"Yeah," Sora nodded, "I'm not sure what he's doing here now!"
"I told you," Yozora answered as he chased after them, "I will save you, Sora!"
Anna called back to him, "Then why are you trying to kill us?! How is that saving anyone?!"
Yozora didn't answer that time as he continued to chase them, Sora told him, "Come on, don't you wanna at least know about the friend who's waiting for you on the Final World."
Yozora didn't answer as he continued the chase as Elsa told her twin, "I don't think he cares!"
Rex stated as he drew out his blasters, Oh, screw this! Anna, Kristoff! Open fire!"
With that order as they ran, Kristoff and Anna began shooting at Yozora with Rex as he blocked or dodged them all. Just as he was just about to catch up with them, Gula leaped in and struck Yozora with his Keyblade. Shocked, Yozora blocked the attack. As their blades clashed, Gula turned to Yzma, Kronk, and the Demon Tide and raised a hand as he commanded, "REFLECT!"
A barrier was created as Yzma, Kronk, and Heartless crashed into it like bugs on a windshield before it blasted them back and sent both Yzma and Kronk flying to the other end of the jungle as they screamed. Anna beamed as she turned to Yozora, "HA! See! Now that's a save!" She then blinked, "Wait, but who's the other guy!"
Everyone turned to Gula confused as he pushed Yozora away, and turned to face him and the Heartless, "I'm afraid introductions will have to wait. If you wish to turn your friend back to human and claim the Reality Stone, you must leave now! I'll hold them off as long as I can!"
Spider-Man quickly wrapped up a stunned Yozora with his webs as he stated, "So, wait, is he another Foreteller?"
"We'll figure that out later," Sora nodded, "Now we need to get back to the palace!"
Rex nodded, "He's right. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth! Let's move!"
With that, everyone retreated to Kuzo's palace but not before Elsa gave one last look before nodding, "Thank you."
She then went to join her family and friends as Gula held back the Heartless as Yozora tried to free himself. As the Forteller did so, he could not help but think back to that day the Master last spoke with him...
Gula had just entered the room as his Master read through the Book of Prophecies, "Mhm... Ah..." Gula bowed as he made his presence known, "Master."
He looked puzzled as the Master of Master continued reading, "Hm..."
"Um... Master?" Gula called out again, "If your busy, I could come back later."
"Sure." He nodded before turning to him, "Oh! No, no, no, stay!" He quickly skimmed through the book, "Now where... Ah, here it is!"
He then tore the page from the book, stood up as he walked to his pupil and handed him the page. Gula wondered, "What's this?"
"Go on, read it." The Master told him eagerly.
Gula then read through the page, and gasped, "This is from the Book of Prophecies. But..."
"Yup. It's a page that's not in any of your Books." The Master of Masters nodded as Gula continued to study it. He realized, "And what's written on here is..."
"Your role. You must find the traitor hidden among you, and stop them before it's too late." The Master instructed, "And in order to help you find the traitor..."
"I get it. That's why you gave us all different roles, isn't it?" Gula began to realize his master's intentions, "If anyone deviates from the job they were given, we can easily conclude that they are the traitor."
"It's brilliant." Gula turned to his shocked Master as he put his arms to his sides.
"Way to steal my thunder, show off!" The Master of Masters retorted.
"Huh?!" Gula looked confused.
"It's not fair." The Master complained, "My plan was supposed to blow your mind with it's grandeur. Your jaw should've hit the floor at my sheer genius!"
"I'm... sorry?" Gula was unsure how to respond to that reaction, "But was my logic flawed?"
"No, you're right." He admitted as he turned back to the book he tore the page from and went back to his seat, "So, I guess you earned your time in the limelight." He then spoke with seriousness, "Even though there is a traitor, acting normal and keep focused. Trust no one but yourself."
He was shocked by this but bowed nonetheless, ready to take on his Master's intentions...
Back in the present, Sora and the others finally made it to the palace although, it was a lot different than Kuzco remembered. He shuttered, "Man, Yzma really did a number on this place when she thought I was dead."
Sora sighed, "I guess she has the Reality Stone to thank for that."
Kuzco turned to him, "You mean the creepy rock thingy she was wearing on her head."
Anna nodded, "Oh, yeah!"
Elsa turned to Sora, "If we take the Stone from here will everything go back to normal?"
"Yeah, it should," Sora nodded, "But first things first."
Kuzco nodded, "Yeah, turning me back to me again."
Pacha nodded, "Well, thanks to that Foreteller guy, things should be smooth sailing from here."
Just then, Hans showed up behind them, "Hey, guys!"
Anna yelped as she punched Hans before realizing who it was, "Oh, sorry!"
Hans rubbed his check before stated, "It's alright... didn't expect you guys to come back this early."
"Yeah, well," Sora stated, "We found a shortcut."
Spider-Man asked, "So, what happened to Vanitas?"
Hans answered, "Whatever he's looking for, he hasn't found it yet. I've been keeping the monsters away from civilians. So, do we know where to find what he's looking for?"
"We do," Elsa answered, "He won't find it here though but there's something else we need from here in order to save this Kingdom."
Hans nodded as he wondered, "Alright, so where to?"
Kuzco answered, "It still should be in Yzma's 'secret lab.' I doubt she changed a thing to it so it still should be two our left."
Elsa nodded, "Alright then... to the secret lab!"
Everyone rushed off to where Kuzco told them to go. They stopped a gargoyle head. Anna looked around, "So where is this secret lab?"
Kuzco replied, "The entrance is the gargoyle's head. All we need to do is pull it's bottom fangs."
"So the tooth is a lever," Sora observed as he took hold of the lever.
Elsa joined him and told him, "Pull the lever, Sora!"
Just then, Spider-Man Spider-Sense went off, "No, wait! Don't!
However, it was too late as Sora had already pulled down on the tooth, and while it was a lever, it ended up not being the right one as a trap door opened up underneath Elsa's feet, leading the blonde to drop down as she shouted, "WRONG LEVER!"
Whoops," Sora muttered, while everyone else looked down the trap door in a futile attempt to see if Elsa was all right, even after they heard a faint splash.
Peter volunteered, "I'll go after her!"
Kuzco sighed as he told the superhero, "Wait, give it a minute."
Just then, much to their surprise, a door slid open a few feet away, admitting a drenched Elsa and a crocodile whose mouth was latched onto her ice dress. Everyone stared at this odd sight for a minute before glancing back to Kuzco to silently ask the obvious question, to which the llama emperor just sheepishly shrugged and said, "Sorry, but I guess I forgot that there actually were two levers. One that leads to the secret lab, and one that… well, you know."
"Okay, why does she even have that lever," Elsa grumbled before she used her ice-cold hand to slap the crocodile making it yelped in surprise and scampered back to his indoor swap.
"Sorry Elsa," Sora apologized, looking a lot more down now than he had a little while before.
"Don't apologize, Sora, it's not your fault. Just pull the other lever." Elsa told her twin brother as she continued to soak. Sora reached for the other tooth, Elsa exclaimed, "Wait!" Sora paused as Elsa turned to Peter and Kuzco, this time the former Spider-Sense didn't go off so they both nodded before she turned back to Sora, "Okay, now pull the other lever."
Sora pulled the other lever and the floor pushed the two them up into an invisible door. Sora and Elsa landed into a dark purple roller coaster seat. The bar snapped down on their laps. Sora knew what was about to happen grabbed the rail with an excited smile on his face while Elsa looked around nervously confused what was happening as a robotic voice told them, "Please remain seated and keep your arms and legs in at all times."
The cart tipped over the edge of the coaster, and they then went through the violent downwards twists and turns. Elsa screamed as she grabbed the rail and held on to it for her life as Sora laughed as he put his hands in the air, "Elsa! Put your hands in the air! It's more fun this way! Yahooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
When the ride came to an abrupt halt, they were then sent flying out of their seat and down to solid ground, not noticing that they had somehow been thrown into lab outfits somewhere in between until after they touched down. Sora beamed, "That was awesome!" He turned to his sister who was breathing heavily, "You okay?"
"Give... me... Give me a minute," Elsa told him as she raised a finger before covering her mouth like she was going to vomit but quickly pulled herself together as she told him, "Let's never do that again."
Sora shrugged as he removed the outfit that was put on him as the ride ended, "Eh, I guess rollercoasters aren't for everyone."
Elsa proceeded to do the same as Sora took notice of two more coming in, "Um... we should probably move."
Sora and Elsa moved out of the way as Anna and Kristoff landed exactly where they landed in the same outfits. Kristoff looked confused as Anna pumped her fists in the air, "THAT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME! CAN WE GO AGAIN?!"
Sora offered, "Maybe after we saved the world."
Anna blinked as she removed the scientist's outfit, "Oh, right!"
Kristoff did the same as the next ride came to an end as they moved out of the way for Spider-Man and Hans. The latter was drenched like Elsa was much to his annoyance. Anna looked confused, "Um... Why is Hans all wet?"
"I... uh... may have pulled the wrong lever at first," Peter admitted before quickly adding, "By accident."
Hans muttered, "I hate you."
Elsa was beginning to feel a bit better as she tried to hide a few giggles, after that as they removed the outs they were followed by Pacha and Kuzco, who simply looked confused before removing the outfits as well. Finally, Rex, Sven, and Olaf joined them as the former giggled, "That was fun!"
Kuzco wondered, "Uh... where's Marshmallow?"
Olaf answered as he removed his outfit as Rex and Kristoff helped Sven out his, "Oh, he standing guard in case Yzma, Kronk, or Vanitas come since he can't fit on the ride."
Elsa's eyes widened, "Whoops... I knew I was forgetting something..."
Pacha told them, "We come back for him! Come on! Let's find that potion!"
Everyone nodded as they searched the entire lab for the antidote for Kuzco. Hans wondered, "So, what exactly are we looking for?"
"Something that'll change Kuzco back to human!" Anna answered, "Kuzco? Any ideas?"
"I don't know," He admitted, "Keep looking!"
Sora then opened an owl cabinet as he beamed, "Found it!" Everyone rushed over to Sora as he added, "It's gotta be one of these!"
Everyone's eyes scanned the cabinet. Elsa spoke up "Let's see... Lions…"
"Tigers…" Peter noted.
"Bears…" Anna continued.
Eventually, they all found their eyes resting on the spot where the human potion would be, only to find that it was not there. They were now just about at the point of panic, when a voice that was not any of theirs creepily said, "Oh my! Looking for this?"
They all instantly spun around and gasped in shock, because there, standing before them with the potion they had been searching for in her hand and a devious grin on her face, was Yzma. Kuzco exclaimed, "No! It can't be!"
"How'd you get back here before us," Anna gasped, "Weren't you sent flying to the other end of the Jungle?!"
Yzma opened her mouth to respond, only to pause in thought for a minute. When she found herself unable to come up with an answer, she turned to her loyal, if not slightly dimwitted minion and asked, "How did we, Kronk?"
"Well ya got me," Kronk admitted as he shrugged off the mobile tent he had been using to transport Yzma around him and then pulled down a map, seemingly from out of nowhere that somehow was able to highlight the exact routes that both groups had taken, along with a picture of himself and Yzma were sent flying while Marshmallow was guarding the entrance, "By all accounts, it doesn't make any sense."
Yzma just shrugged it off, "Oh, well, back to business."
"Okay, I admit it. Maybe I wasn't as nice as I should have been." Kuzco laughed nervously. "But, Yzma, you really want to kill me? Even if I did fire you, you practically raised me!"
Yzma's only response to grin evilly as she replied, "Just think of it as…you're being let go. That your life's going in a different direction. That your body's part of a permanent outplacement."
"Hey that's kind of like what he said to you when you got fired," Kronk pointed out, far more excited about the whole thing than he probably should have been, and completely killing the moment for Yzma and everyone else.
"I know. It's called a cruel irony, like my dependence on you," Yzma frowned.
"Wait a minute, if she was fired, then how is she empress now," Sora asked.
Kuzco gained a sheepish look and replied, "Because this whole mess started on the exact same day that I fired her, so the only ones who knew about that were me, her, and Kronk."
"Wait, if everyone else knew about this, then how would a new ruler have been chosen," Kristoff then questioned.
"That's actually a good question," Elsa admitted. "I mean, would there have been some kind of voting process or…"
Peter shrugged, "We have something similar to that back at home but usually not everybody is happy with the results."
Yzma was starting to get annoyed, "Can we get back to the main topic?" Everyone turned to her as she stated, "Once Kuzco and the rest of you are dead, there will be no one to challenge my reign, and with this little rock." She gestured to the Reality Stone on her head, "I will able to mold the entire world into my image."
Kuzco eyes widened in disbelief, "I can't believe this is happening!"
"Then I bet you weren't expecting THIS…!" Yzma grinned evilly while reaching down to pull up her dress. Everyone began panicking as Sora and Elsa covered Anna's and Olaf's eyes.
"NOOO UGH NOOO!" Kuzco and Pacha yelled in horror turning away.
"Ahhhh fifty shades of ugly!" Peter turned as well.
"Olaf shield your eyes!" Anna covered Olaf's eyes.
"What? Why is everyone freaking out?" Olaf wondered and gasped in joy, "Does she keep gifts under there?!"
No one had time to answer the oblivious snowman as Yzma pulled it up just slightly, "Aha!"
Yzma revealed a knife strapped to her leg. Everyone sighed in relief, as Elsa stated, "We can live with that."
"For a moment there I thought I was going to see oblivion." Kristoff sighed as well.
"Oh, okay," Kuzco added.
"Oh, a knife! I always wanted one!" Olaf clapped her joy still thinking it's a gift and looked confused, "I think."
"Oh, crap! Is that a knife?" Spider-Man pretended to act and whimper like a coward. 'Is that a real knife?"
"Yes, of course, it's a real knife!" Yzma smirked evilly thinking she's getting the upper hand. Everyone looked at Spider-Man in confusion.
"Uh... Spidey? What are you doing?" Elsa raised her eyebrow.
"She found my weakness!" Spidey got on his knees. "Small knives!"
"You're kidding right?" Anna looked confused as well.
"Just hand over the lama." Yzma still smirked was falling for it, "And I'll make it painless."
"ANYTHING BUT KNIFE!" Spidey quickly shot a web at Yzma's arm. sticking her hand and knife to the wall.
"Wha!?" Yzma yelped being stuck to the wall in shock.
"Oh, so gullible!" Spider-Man snickered humorously making everyone laugh including Kronk much to her annoyance.
Yzma demanded, "What the hell is this?"
"Webbing that I developed myself. I don't think you really wanna know anymore right now." He answered as he continued to web her up as she struggled to get free he even paused for a second as if he was going to sneeze. When he faked a sneeze Yzma was trapped by a giant spider web.
Yzma growled, "This isn't funny!"
Spidey argued, " It is kind of funny."
Yzma finally had enough as she used the Reality Stone to disintegrate the web freeing herself. Spidey then backed off, "Oh, I forgot about the Infinity Stone."
"Enough games!" Yzma then summoned more Heartless as she passed the knife to Kronk, "Help our new friends finish them off."
Kronk caught the knife but hesitated to do anything more than that. He just glanced between Yzma and the group of heroes for a minute until a voice suddenly echoed, "Hey, you're not backing down now are you, big guy?"
An instant later, a smaller version of him dressed up as the devil appeared on his shoulder, with a trident in hand. This did not surprise Kronk at all, considering it was his Shoulder Devil, but he was confused by something else. "Uh, where's the other guy," Kronk asked, referring to the lighter side of his conscience. A minute later, the Shoulder Angel appeared, sitting back in a comfy chair with his head in a hairdryer while reading a book title Kingdom Keepers. "Yo," Kronk called out, getting his attention.
The minute that the shoulder angel realized what was going on, he quickly cast aside everything he did not need and slipped on his hat and halo, while replacing the book with a harp, as he said, "Sorry I'm late. What'd I miss?"
"Well, Yzma just tossed me this knife and asked me to, ya know, take them out. Then this guy popped up and we waited for you, and, quite honestly..." Kronk then went into a quick summary of what had just happened for the sake of his Shoulder Angel, not realizing how ridiculous he looked from the perspective of everyone else since as far as they could tell, he was talking to himself while looking at his shoulder.
Even Yzma was perplexed by the sight unfolding in front of her, and she immediately looked to the others to see if they knew what was going on here. They could only shrug in response; they were just as confused about what Kronk was doing as she was. After another minute of watching this unfold, Yzma angrily looked back at Kronk and snarled, "Kronk!"
All three versions of Kronk turned to Yzma as continued, "Why did I think you could do this? This one, simple thing. It's like I'm talking to a monkey."
"Whoa now," Sora and Elsa cautioned, not knowing that Kronk's Shoulder Angel had said the exact same thing.
"A really really big stupid monkey named Kronk," Yzma continued.
"Ouch," Anna and Spidey winced, at the same time as Kronk's Shoulder Devil. Yzma still wasn't done though.
"And do you want to know something else? I've never liked your spinach puffs! Never!"
That drew shocked gasps from all three versions of Kronk before the actual one started to cry, completely hurt by that, the Shoulder Angel patting his cheek in an attempt to comfort him. The Shoulder Devil on the other hand had a different idea on how to make Kronk feel better as he readied his trident like a shotgun. "That's it! She's going down!"
"Now, now, remember guys. From above, the wicked shall receive their just reward," the Shoulder Angel told the other two. All three Kronks' gazes were soon drawn to the ceiling, namely the chandelier directly above Yzma, and then commented, "That'll work."
Kronk then turned and sliced through the rope holding the chandelier up with one swipe, and Yzma only had time to look up in shock as it fell. When it came crashing down, everyone looked on in horror, hardly believing what had just happened. The mere idea that this had happened was horrifying to them all. The moment that the chandelier had hit the ground was what ended up cementing the fact for them all because Yzma… was still okay. She turned out to be skinny enough to slip through the hole in the center of the chandelier without incurring any injury at all. Spidey was the first to comment, "Well, that was anticlimactic."
"Strange….That usually works," Kronk mused.
"And so does this," Yzma stated, pulling on a bottle that was resting on the nearby lab table, and revealing it to be a lever that opened the trap door directly beneath Kronk's feet.
"Ah, should've seen that coming," Kronk admitted, and he then dropped down with a yelp with the trapdoor closing behind him.
Spider-Man fired several webbing at her, one for the vial and one for the Infinity Stone. While he was successful in grabbing the vial, she used the stone's power to protect the Reality Stone. Yzma snarled, as she ordered the Heartless, "Bring me that vial! And get them!"
One of the Heartless, snagged the vial away before it could reach Peter's hand. Sora chased after the Heartless with Keyblade in hand while everyone else fought the Heartless. However, before Sora could strike it down someone else already did and grabbed the vial but the man who did was no friend, "Vanitas!"
"Nice try!" Vanitas laughed, "But I had my Unversed keep an eye on you long enough to bring me to the Stones exact location."
Yzma pointed to Vanitas, "YOU! BRING ME THAT VIAL THIS INSTANT!"
Vanitas causally throw and caught the vial as he replied, "Oh, I more the willing to... if you give me that Stone your wearing!"
"No deal!" Yzma glared, "Why would I give up the only means of ultimate power."
"Oh," Vanitas shrugged before gesturing to Sora, "Then you wouldn't be interested in the other stones that my brother has?"
Yzma paused before turning to Sora, "THERE'S MORE?!"
Sora sighed, "Yeah, I should have seen this coming..."
Yzma then used the Reality Stone to turn herself into a Rhino as she stated, "Give them to me now!"
She charged at Sora as he dodged out of the way making her hit a wall. Vanitas chuckled, "While you waste your energy fighting each other, I'll finish you both off and claim all three Stones for Thanos."
However, he was blasted in the back by ice magic making him drop the vial. Elsa quickly went to dive for the vial as Vanitas grabbed it and yanked it away. Elsa picked herself up as Vanitas went into his battle stance, "Fine... let's see how well our brother taught you!"
Elsa readied herself as Yzma transformed herself into a crocodile and snapped her jaws as Sora dodged before hitting her with his Keyblade making her crash into Vanitas making him drop the vial again before hitting the self of vials making several more fall off the self. As everyone finished the wave of Heartless, Pacha, and Kuzco made a dash for the vails. Yzma smirked to herself as she turned herself into a goat and knocked down even more vials as everyone made guess to which one was the to turn Kuzco back to human. She taunted, "Whoops! Which one, oh, which one?"
As everyone made their guesses, Yzma turned into an octopus and pulled a level sounding an alarm, "Better hurry! I'm expecting company!"
Just then, the Empire's Soldiers entered the lab as Yzma ordered, "Kill them! They murdered the emperor!"
"No, wait! I'm the emperor! It's me... Kuzco!" Kuzco tried to tell them, "They're not listening to me!"
Rex told him as he handed all the potions he gathered to Pacha, "Just take them all!"
Just as the soldiers were about to get them, Rex kicked down a table full of potions causing their vials to break and explode. When the dust settled the soldier had all been turned to animals. Yzma reverted herself back to human as she ordered, "Get them!"
However, one of the soldiers, that was currently a cow, spoke up, "Hey, I've been turned into a cow. Can I go home?"
"You're excused." Yzma nodded as the cow happily left. She then asked, "Anyone else?"
"No, we're good." They reassured.
She smirked, "Excellent! Get them!"
Sora dashed away from the guards and went straight for Yzma as he ordered, "I'll deal with Yzma! Elsa, take Spider-Man and Hans and deal with Vanitas. Everyone else, try to figure out which is the right potion."
Everyone nodded as they followed Sora's plan. Yzma turned herself into an elephant and charged at Sora as he held the royal advisor back with his Keyblade.
At the same time, Elsa blasted Vanitas with ice magic as he simply deflected the ice with his Keyblade. Hans proceeded to engage him in a duel. As skilled as Hans was, Vanitas was better.
Meanwhile, the guards went after Kuzco's group as Anna tried to guess which potion they should use first before picking one, "Here! Try this one!"
She handed it to Pacha, who popped the cork out and poured it down Kuzco's throat. There was a puff of pink smoke as the potion took effect, but a second passed and Kuzco was nowhere to be seen.
"Uh, guys? A little help here?" Kuzco croaked. They all stopped and turned around, and were shocked to see that Kuzco had turned into a small turtle. The guards were catching up to him fast!
Pacha reached down and picked him up, then turned back around to start running again. They came out to a stairwell but saw that some of the guards were coming down the stairs to either side of them. Pacha put Kuzco on the ledge next to the stairs going down and hopped on his shell, surfing down the length of the stairs just as a guard, who had been turned into an octopus, brought three axes down where they had been. Anna, Kristoff, Sven, Olaf, and Rex ran down after them.
Three guards showed up at the bottom, waiting to intercept them. Pacha held his arm out in the other's direction as Rex picked out the next vial, "How about this one!"
He tossed it to Pacha, who caught it before opening it, he muttered, "Please be something with wings."
He ducked down and shoved the potion into Kuzco's beak. Rex threw a flash-bang grenade to temporarily blind the soldiers. They quickly ran past them as Pacha and Kuzco went soring. Kuzco flapped his newfound wings.
"Yeah! We're flying!" he cheered. He looked down and realized that he was a tiny red bird that was about the size of Pacha's hand, and Pacha was holding onto him by the tail feathers, "Uh-oh…"
They fell and slammed onto a statue that hung over a doorway. They slid off and were about to hit the ground when they landed on Sven. Pacha patted the reindeer, "Thanks, Sven."
Sven snorted in response as Kristoff translated, "You're welcome!"
Rex turned to Kristoff before shaking his head, "I should have stayed with General Skywalker."
With that, everyone kept running to stay away from the guards. The party ran, coming onto a narrow bridge. "We're not getting anywhere with you picking the vial," he complained. "I'm picking the next one!"
Pacha nodded in agreement, "Fine by us."
Kristoff showed the Emperor the potions as Kuzco told him as he used his beak to point, "Give me that one!"
Kristoff uncorked it and fed it to Kuzco. There was an enormous cloud of pink smoke. When it cleared, Kuzco was a giant red whale and was crushing Sven. Everyone looked at his new form in utter shock.
"Don't you say a word," Kuzco warned. They all looked down and saw the stone cracking beneath Kuzco's weight. The bridge broke and everyone fell into a canal below...
At the same time, Sora was knocked near the edge as he held her off as she was in the form of a lion. He blocked her swipes with the Keyblade. Yzma growled in her lion form before she noticed Kuzco and the others in the water below them. She ordered the guard, "Quick! Drain the canals!"
Sora then kicked her off of him as she transformed into a T-Rex and roared at him...
Kuzco sank into the water but soon started swimming with ease. Even though everyone was submerged when they landed, they got their bearings and started swimming as well. Once everyone was at the surface, Kristoff went to check on Sven since Kuzco unintentionally crushed him, "You okay, buddy?"
Sven nodded as before noticing Olaf's carrot as he tried took a bite at it but missed as Olaf laughed, "Aw, I'm glad you're okay too!"
Rex then passed Pacha another potion, "Pacha! Catch!"
Pacha caught it as he opened it up. He then told Kuzco, "Open wide!"
He poured the liquid into Kuzco mouth There was a puff of smoke and Pacha fell into the water. A llama head popped out of the water. Kuzco looked at his hooves and smiled, "Yay! I'm a llama again!" He paused in his celebration as he realized that it was no reason to celebrate. He was a llama again, "Wait…"
They all heard a sound like stone grinding and water draining out of a sink. Before they could realize what was happening, they were all caught in a whirlpool that pulled them down to a hole in the bottom of the channel. Wide jets of water poured out of the nose of the top part of the palace. The water ran down the stairs and into the city, sure to leave a lot of people bewildered and panicking. As the last of the water flooded out of the channel, the party went through, but half of the group grabbed onto the ledge and held on, then caught the other half by the arms when they went through...
Yzma snapped her larges jaws at Sora as she told him, "GIVE ME THOSE STONES!"
"No way!" Sora shook his head, the last thing he need was this lady to take the only two Infinity Stones they managed to retrieve so far. He transformed the Favorite Deputy Keyblade into a rocket hammer and began bassing the potions mistress with it. As the fifth strike, she noticed that Kuzco and the others were still alive, she used her little arm to point down the hole they fell through.
"There they go! After them!" She shouted back to the guards.
"Come on, men!" One of the guards, who had been turned into a lizard, said encouragingly. "No one lives forever! Charge!"
The guards ran down into the funnel leading down and out of the channel, but they all lost their footing and slid through the hole...
Meanwhile, Vanitas was holding his own against Hans, Elsa, and Spider-Man. Spider-Man kept shooting shock webs from behind Vanitas every time he leaped over his slash attacks. Leaving Hans and Elsa opened to attack him in front. Hans unleashed an Ars Arcanum combo on Vanitas, slashing at him multiple times. While Elsa uses an ice sword to attack his head. Vanitas's helmet kept it from injuring him. Soon Vanitas was on his knees taking there attacks with very little reaction. But soon he came to himself when he knocked Hans a few feet away with his hand and caught Elsa's sword with his other hand. Griping it without cutting himself. Then he blasted Spider-Man with a quick dark blast from behind.
"Be honest with me Snow Queen." Vanitas taunted Elsa looking at her. "If it weren't for him. You would've still been hiding under your bed. Hoping that the cold would go away."
By 'him' she knew Vanitas meant Sora. And it made Elsa's glare harder, "If you're wondering how I know that, I've been watching since the start of your journey. Not to mention negativity is what I'm all about."
"Even though you have gotten halfway out of isolation. Admit it. You're still scared. That you'll face that enviable you lose control and kills everyone you ever love." Vanitas kept going. It made Elsa's insides hurt hearing this. She always was afraid.
"Elsa..." Spider-Man wheezed on the ground, still stunned by Vantias's dark attack, "Don't listen to- Gah!"
Vanitas stunned Spidey again with his finger blasts to shut him up. Then he addressed Elsa, "Give me the Reality Stone, and I can get rid of you're abilities. u can become normal like everyone else. You will never be burdened by the very thing that kept you away from our sister that you loved."
Elsa's eyes narrowed, "You sure your masters will allow that?!"
"I'm no one's pawn," Vanitas told her, "Not Xehanort's. Not Thanos's. Not Maleficent's. No ones. I only worked for them because it brought me closer to our dear brothers. I'm their shadow after all. But we don't have to be enemies. We can be family."
Elsa looked down in shame hearing this but kept her grip on her ice sword. "You have a choice. Convince our brother, to give us the stones. Then with the Power Stone, every enemy including Thanos will fall easily, because they'll be too powerful to stop us. With the Time Stone. We can make it as if your accident with Anna never happened, and Sora was never separated from you. And with the Reality Stone. You'll powers will be gone forever. And so will your fear." Vanitas explained every detail.
Then he took off his helmet and showed his face. Elsa gasped in shock to see. Sora was right. Vanitas looks just like Sora, but with orange eyes and black spiky hair. He smiled warmly at Elsa as if he was acting like Sora. Trying to manipulate her.
"Take from a brother who always wanted to meet you. And fix everything right for you." Vanitas said with a loving tone. But it wasn't real.
And deep down. As incredible as some of the things he offered sound. Elsa spent enough time with her friends and family. To know that Vanitas was lying.
"You're right about one thing. I'm still afraid. I'm afraid that I'll lose control. Afraid that I'll hurt my family. Anna. Sora. And everyone. And I'm afraid that I'll become the very thing I always stood against." Elsa admitted. "And as long as that's in me. I'll never become fully at peace with who I am."
Vanitas nodded with a smirk thinking he got to her. "I know."
"But here's where you're wrong. just because I'm still scared, doesn't mean my fears will become real. Just because I'm not at peace, doesn't mean I never will be." Elsa glared at him while standing up, as a light of ice flared around her. Making him nervous.
"Wha- What are you doing?!" Vanitas struggled to stand up with Elsa holding her sword down on him.
"I do know for sure. My powers are not a curse. They're apart of me. And my fear is not a burden. It's the love I have for everyone who's apart of my heart. They've always been apart of me, no matter what separated us. They were always with me." Elsa held her heart and stared hard at Vanitas.
"Oh come on sister. We both want this!" Vanitas tried again.
"You are not my brother! And I am not a curse!" Elsa yelled as a cold wind picked up around the room, "I am the season that brings everyone together. I am the winter's light."
Vanitas's face hardened at first, then he smirked with a shrugged. "I was hoping you would refuse." Then his helmet locked back on as he tried to attack her with his weapon. But Elsa blocked it with her ice hand, as she stood bold.
"I am. The Fifth Spirit." Elsa declared. Then with a wave of her hand. She sent a frosty wind to pushed Vanitas through the wall sending him flying to crash into the wall apparently knocking him out. Spider-Man saw the whole thing in shock and awe, as Elsa turned around and smiled. She offered her hand to him which he accepts and stood up. He took off his mask and grinned.
"So I...take it that you've gotten over your fears?" Peter asked.
Elsa sighed and kept her smile. "Not completely, no. I'm not quite there yet. But I have hope, that I will be much sooner."
"Yeah. Me too." Peter stared at her as she stared back. Then they both blinked as Peter quickly added. "Uh... I mean. You know about your self-confidence and all."
"Um...Right O-Of course." Elsa cleared her throat. "That's what I meant as well."
"We should go check on Hans," Peter suggested while putting his mask back on.
"Good idea." Elsa agreed but when they turned. Hans was gone.
"Uh...Where is he?" Spidey inquired. "Did he just bench himself again?"
Elsa crossed her arms, "More likely, he ditched us so he can get closer to Anna."
"Good guess." Vanitas's voice spoke up. They turned to see that the masked boy was leaning on the wall, "What? I've taken worse beatings from our brothers... I don't fall so easily. With or without your help the Stones will be mine."
Spider-Man's eyes narrowed, "Okay, Bizzaro. If your feeling so chatty, tell us what you know about Hans. What exactly do you know about him?"
Vanitas chuckled, "Oh, I hate to ruin the surprise, you're just going to have to figure that out for yourselves. Now, as entertaining as this was, I got an Infinity Stone to collect."
Vanitas then vanished in a Corridor of Darkness, Elsa and Peter chased after him as the former called out, "WAIT!"
However, it was too late as the Corridor vanished. Spider-Man turned to Elsa, "Come on, we have to help your real brother."
Elsa nodded as they chased after were Sora and the others left...
Sora grabbed on to the back of Yzma in the form of a vulture before she used the Stone to transform into a bald eagle and flew after Kuzco and the others as they were climbing up the ledge of the outside. Pacha took the potions and turned to Kuzco, who looked at them joyfully, "Okay, two left. It's got to be one of these!"
Just then, they were stanched by Yzma who tried to take off with them. Anna complained, "HEY!"
Sora reassured them, "It's okay! I've got them!"
He leaped off of Yzma and slashed her legs making her wince in pain and dropped the two vials as he caught them. Sora then proceeded to glide to where the others were before a red barrier blocked the path between them causing Sora to stop. He turned around to face Yzma. She declared, "No more games!"
She then transformed herself into a fire breathing dragon, "Now, give me the Stones and Vials, and maybe I'll let you and two of your little friends live."
Sora glared as he aimed his Keyblade to the ex-advisor, "Pass but thanks for the offer and news flash, your not the only witch that could turn into a dragon I've faced. I doubt you'll be the last either!"
Yzma then proceeded to breathe fire at him as he dodged the flames. Pacha cheered him on, "Come on, kid! You got this!"
"Yeah," Kuzco nodded, "Show that old hag who's the boss!"
Anna told him, "Come on! Go for the jugular! The jugular!"
"Anna, this isn't my first fight!" Sora told her as he avoided a claw swing and struck his Keyblade at Yzma's throat, "And what the heck is a jugular?!"
Anna sighed as she told him, "Nevermind! Just keep doing what you're doing!"
Sora then transformed his Hero's Origin Keyblade into a shield to block a wave of fire before countering the attack with a giant golden fist that came from the shield. The attack dazed Yzma before he tossed his shield into the air turning it to a chariot as a magic pegasus appeared on the front. They then flew around Yzma as lightning struck her as they flew around. Hans climbed up to Anna before turning to the fight, "How is he doing that?"
Anna sighed, "At this point, I don't even know his full abilities anymore." She then blinked, "Wait, weren't you supposed to be helping Elsa and Spider-Man with Vanitas?"
Hans answered her, "They were wrapping things up so I thought I'd come to help you!"
Rex turned to him in disbelief, "So, you're saying you just abandoned them during the fight?!"
Kuzco eyes narrowed, "Okay, this is rich coming from me from doing it earlier, but that was just wrong dude."
Hans shrugged, "They're fine!"
"In what way?!" Spider-Man's voice spoke up as everyone turned to see Spider-Man with Elsa hanging on to his back as he climbed them up, "If Elsa didn't go full Winter Madian on Bizzaro Sora, we would have our butts handed to Vanitas. Not to mention he got away!"
Elsa cleared her throat, "Winter Spirt. It's actually Winter Spirit."
Anna blinked at that, "Wait, what? Elsa, you're the Fith Spirit?!"
"About time, you figured it out!" Sora called out as he struck Yzma with his Keyblade, "But maybe we should focus on stopping Yzma?!"
Elsa blinked before nodding, "Right, Yzma first, then Vanitas, and yelling at Hans!" She then tired blasting through the shield created by the Reality Stone in hopes of getting inside but it didn't have much affect. She stopped what she was doing, "Okay, so much for that idea. Any other ideas?"
"Perhaps if she was distracted, Sora might be able to get the Stone from her without her knowing," Rex thought aloud, "And we can't help him from out here."
Sora blinked before realizing, "So, I'll just bring a friend in here!" He then pulled out the heart binder that he got from Anakin, "GIVE ME STRENGTH!"
Just then, a light appeared blinding everyone, and from that light a figure stepping forth from the light come closer and closer until it was standing almost right next to Sora, revealing who they were when they did, while the light itself began to die down to the point where they were no longer just appearing as a simple silhouette. When they all finally got a good look at the individual, they were all left in awe of said person for various reasons. The person that Sora had summoned appeared to be a young, alien-looking woman with dark orange skin, brownish-gray lips, and bright blue eyes that seemed to burn with unbridled courage, while upon her head was not hair, but what appeared to be some type of horns that were white with blue stripes, and extended down to her shoulders. Her attire consisted of a burgundy top with a decorative hole in the front, dark grey leggings with diamonds cut into the sides, three armbands on each arm, dark combat boots, and gloves, and crossed belts that held what looked like two silver hilts. Rex's eyes widened as he removed his helmet, "Commander?"
The figure turned to the Clone before her eyes widened, "Rex? Where am I?"
"It's a bit complicated," Rex started before warning her, "Look out!"
Both Sora and Ahsoka moved out of the way of a wave of fire as the former realized, "Wait... are you Ashoka Tano? Anakin's former padawan?"
Ashoka turned to Sora, "You know Master... You know Anakin?"
"Yeah, I just helped out recently," Sora answered as they avoided another swing of a claw, "Speaking of, you think you could help us out a bit?"
Ashoka turned to Yzma and sensed something more powerful than anything she had ever felt, she felt two more like it in Sora's pocket. Ashoka then pulled out two of her lightsabers as she activated them, one full-length green blade and the other being a shorter yellow blade. With both of her sabers activated, the woman then made of show of spinning the two swords around in her hands before holding the yellow saber in front of her while the green blade was in the back, both in a reverse grip, similar to what Ventus used when he fought with his Keyblade. She stated, "I may longer be a Jedi, but I will always help those in need!"
"Then let's give this old dinosaur a good butt whooping." Sora stood next to Ashoka as they stood against Yzma.
The two charged at Yzma weapons in hand, Yzma breathed fire on them but Ashoka used the Force to stop the flames as Sora casted an ice spell stopping the flames. The two then began slashing the weapons at Yzma's dragon form as she winced in pain as she demanded, "Stop it, you little brats!"
She proceeded to swipe a claw at them. The dodged the attack as Sora turned to the former Jedi, "Keep her busy. I have a plan."
Ashoka nodded as the two split up as the former Jedi tired to get her advantage, "Come and get me you, old hag!"
Yzma snarled as she began breathing fire at Ashoka as she dodged the flames. Sora snuck behind the dragon as Ashoka distracted her with a few Force pulls and lightsaber slashes. Sora climbed onto her back before slashing her at the head with his Keyblade. Yzma finally snapped, "That's it! I'm bending reality to make sure you two are nothing but fleas and then I'll smash you both with a hammer!"
She focused but all of a sudden nothing happen. Confused, she looked to where the Reality Stone was supposed to be but it was gone, "What?! Where is it! Where?!"
Sora smirked as he held out the red Infinity Stone, "Looking for this!"
Yzma's eyes widened as the Stone shined and began to reverse the damage the Infinity Stone had done to this world. Yzma's eyes widened in horror, "NO!"
Ashoka then realized the ground they were standing on was about to fade away, "Uh... we should probably get to safer ground!"
Sora nodded, "Right!"
They dashed to where the others were, but the ground beath them vanished causing Sora to stumble and drop the last two potions. Kuzco's eyes widened in horror. Yzma also tired to dash to safety even as she was turning back to human. Sora was gliding to safety as he tried to reach for the vials but he wasn't going to get them in time as Yzma zoomed past them, Ashoka wasn't going to make it either. That was until she was caught, by Kuzco. She smiled, "Thanks!"
Everyone else was shocked by this as he shrugged, "What? It was the right thing to do right?"
Pacha smiled proudly, "Yes, Kuzco. Yes, it is!"
Just then, he remembered, "The vials!"
Everyone turned even after Kuzco pulled Ashoka to safety, the vials landed safely on the ledge but Yzma smashed into one of them causing it to explode. Purple smoke fell over the landing, a haze that no one could see through as Sora joined them. A sinister laugh echoed from the center of the cloud, a bone-chilling cackle that, if one listened very hard, almost sounded as though there was something caught in the person's throat. The smoke cleared, revealing a small white kitten. Yzma let out a soft meow. Spider-Man commented, "Well, on the bright side, you look much better now."
Kuzco smirked as he took the only remaining vial, "I'll take that!"
Yzma made a dash for the potion as Elsa created an ice cage to contain the cat, she demanded in a high-pitched squeak, "LET ME GO! NO CAGE CAN CONTAIN ME!" Everyone then burst out laughing at the change of her voice as Yzma stopped when she heard how she sounded. "Is that my voice? Is that my voice?"
Everyone laughed even harder at that as Pacha told Kuzco, "This is the one! This will change you back to a human!"
Kuzco was about to open it when an Unversed swiped it away. His eyes widened in horror, "HEY!"
The vial ended up in Vanitas's hand as he chuckled, "I knew you'd be the victor if I pitted you against the bad old putty cat, but unless you want your Emperor friend to spend the rest of his life as a llama, I suggest you hand the Infinity Stones now."
Before anyone could do anything, everyone but Anna began to glare at Hans. Rex muttered to him, "Wrapping things up you said?"
Hans smiled sheepishly before Kuzco stated, "Don't give them to him."
Everyone turned to Kuzco in shock as Pacha gasped, "Kuzco?"
"Look, I can't say I fully understand what's going on," Kuzco admitted, "But from what I have seen from what Yzma did with one of those magic pebbles and I hate for even one of those handed to someone actually worse than her." He then glared at Vanitas, "So, go ahead, do whatever you want with that vial, I'll never let anyone getting hurt for my selfish gain again!"
Vanitas chuckled, "You have changed, perhaps there's still hope for this world, but since no one will recognize either of you, the world will drive into chaos without a leader and its negativity will strengthen me. So even without the stones, I still win..."
All of a sudden, a blue circular window opened knock both Vanitas off the ledge as he dropped the ledge and Ashoka used the Force to grab it. She smiled, "Got it!"
Kronk looked around, chuckling as he leaned out of the window. "Whoa," he remarked. "What are the odds of that trapdoor leading me out here?"
Ashoka smiled as she turned to Rex, "Can't say I understand what's going on here but I think you guys will be needing this."
Rex took the potion from her as he smiled, "It's good to see you again, Commander."
"It's just Ashoka now, Rex," She smiled before wondering, "What about the masked guy?"
Sora reassured, "Oh, he survived far worse, we'll see him again."
Meanwhile, Vanitas screamed as he flew to the earth below him, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
At the same time, on the group a delivery man with a large open box as the guard told him, "For the last time! We did not order a large box of a spikey hair teenage boy and a red teenage girl plush toys!"
"You know, pal, you could have told me that before I opened it up," The delivery man retorted. Vanitas screams got louder until he landed inside the box of push toys softening his landing...
Back with the others, everyone gave a cheerful laugh as Pacha and Kuzco even hugged each other. Rex then walked up to them as he opened up the vial, "You're highness, I believe this is yours."
Kuzco took and raised it up as if for a toast, "Well, guys, I'll see you on the other side."
He then gulped it down as the potion took effect changing him back into a human. Kuzco smiled as he observed himself, "Yay! I'm me again!"
Everyone smiled at this victory, except for Yzma. Kronk even sniffed, "I love happy endings." He then noticed, "Oh, hey, Yzma! Is there something different about you?"
Yzma snarled in defeat, "I hate all of you."
Ashoka then began to shine brightly as she assumed, "I guess this means I'm going home. I don't know fully what's going on but if you ever need me..."
Sora smiled, "We'll call. Thanks, Ashoka."
"You're welcome," She then paused as she realized she didn't know his name, "Um..."
Sora introduced himself, "Sora."
She nodded, "You're welcome."
She smiled as she vanished back to her galaxy...
Later, everyone regrouped inside the palace as they glared at a certain Prince, Hans told them, "Look, I said I was sorry!"
Rex crossed his arms, "You've disobeyed orders, and you left both Spider-Man and Elsa behind. Because of this, Vanitas nearly made sure this world doesn't have a ruler altogether. It could have driven this world into chaos unless we gave him what he wanted."
Sora nodded, "Rex is right. Not to mention, Vanitas could have killed Spider-Man or my sister because you decided it was a good idea to leave them on their own!"
Hans argued, "Hey, I wanted to help! You looked like you needed help with Yzma and finding the potions!"
"Both were situations were under control," Elsa argued, "And Vanitas was the greater threat! In fact, since we know he's still out there, he still is!"
Peter crossed his arms, "Trust comes both ways, and from what we've seen, you can't be trusted!"
Anna tried to defend him, "So, he made a mistake! C'mon, give him another chance!"
Elsa recalled what Vanitas told them before telling Anna, "There's more going on here than you know, Anna. I know you like him but you can't let your emotions blind you. Until he proves us otherwise, we really can't trust him."
Anna sighed, "Fine." Sora crossed his arms making Anna raise an eyebrow, "What?"
"Let me see your fingers," He told her. She lifted her right hand and showed that she didn't have her fingers crossed before Sora spoke up again, "Both of them!"
Anna sighed as she revealed her other fingers were crossed. Elsa looked to her with disapproval, "Anna, he left me and Spidey to fend for ourselves!"
"Okay, okay, fine!" Anna nodded as she admitted showing both hands, "For real this time, I won't come rushing blindly to him."
Sora told her, "We'll hold you to it." Before turning to Hans, "I know you've been following us for some time, so either help us or stay out of our way." His glare grew even harder, "And stay away from our little sister!"
Hans nodded before turning to leave as Olaf was telling Marshmallow all that had happened during there encounter with Yzma. Marshmallow frowned as Elsa patted him, "Don't worry, you can help us out more next time."
Just then, Kuzco entered the room with an old man by his side, as the old man told the Emperor, "Oh, now, you- you... you stop being so hard on yourself. All is forgiven."
Kuzco then asked with concern, "You sure?"
The old man smiled, "Oh, it's not the first time I was tossed out a window, and it won't be the last. What can I say? I'm a rebel."
He then playfully hit Kuzco on the arm making him laugh, "Whoa-ho-ho, tiger. Oh! Hey, I got to use that arm later." He then waved goodbye as the old man headed home, "Okay, buddy, take care." He then chuckled to himself, "Ah, he's a sweet guy."
Elsa smiled, "Well, looks like Kuzco's righting his wrongs."
Sora smiled as he placed his arms behind his head, "Yeah, he's come a long way."
Kristoff nodded, "Yeah, but he still has one more right to wrong."
Everyone turned to Pacha sitting by the model of a hilltop village, with a model of Kuzco's summer home sitting at the top of the hill. Seeing Pacha sitting there and looking so depressed reminded Kuzco of what he had promised that he would do regardless of whether or not Pacha helped him, and after all, they had been through, he knew that he owed the older man a great deal more than he had ever owed anyone before. After all, Pacha was his first real friend, at least in his eyes, so it was only right that he do something to show it. Making his way over to Pacha, Kuzco cleared his throat and declared, "So… you lied to me."
Pacha perked up when he heard Kuzco approach, only to glance from side to side in confusion, not entirely sure what the young emperor was talking about. "I did?"
"Yeah. You said when the sun hits this ridge just right, these hills sing. Well, pal, I may have been unconscious for who knows how long until you found me, but I'm sure that it was long enough to be dragged all over those hills, and not once did I hear any singing," Kuzco informed Pacha. Hearing that drew smiles onto everyone's faces, as they realized what Kuzco was doing. Despite the fact that he was doing something nice for Pacha, Kuzco did not want anyone to think that he was only doing this because he had made a deal with a peasant. He then proceeded to remove the model from the hilltop, "So... I'll be building my summer home on a more magical hill. Thank you."
Seeing Kuzco remove the model of said summer home from where it stood, waterslide included pretty much cemented it all for Pacha, and he could not help but let out a small chuckle as he handed the model of his house over to Kuzco, playing along with the act as he did, "Couldn't pull the wool over your eyes, huh?"
"No, no. I'm sharp. I'm on it," Kuzco confirmed, still keeping up the act. "Looks like you and your family are stuck on top of a tuneless hilltop forever, pal."
He was about to place the model of Pacha's house back on the hilltop when all of a sudden a flash of light shined around the model of Pacha's house as it started floating upwards much to everyone's shock. Sora resummoned his Keyblade and held it out. As the light of the model shined a crown of light appeared under Sora's feet. The wind picked up as he entered a pinky cloudy area just then the light of the model shot up revealing a Keyhole in the sky. Sora twirled around his Keyblade before aiming it at the Keyhole. Light swirled around the Keyblade before shooting a beam of light unlocking the Gateway.
Kuzco wondered, "Okay, what was that about?"
Elsa smiled, "Another gate has been open. I'm afraid we have to leave."
"Does it have anything to do with the glowing rocks you're trying to protect?" Kuzco wondered.
Sora smiled, "Something like that."
"Right, before you go, I have a few favors to ask," Kuzco told them, everyone turned to him, as he continued, "One, whatever you do with those pebbles, make sure you hide them in place no one evil can ever use them again. Preferable far away from my Empire."
Sora reassured him, "That's the plan."
Kuzco nodded, "Good, secondly, don't be strangers, you guys are the first real friends, I've ever made. Could you... stop by every now and then. The Empire will be completely different by the time you get back. With Pacha's help anyways, I need a real advisor."
Pacha smiled, "I'll definitely be there for you, sir."
Sora smiled, "We'll definitely come back to visit. Maybe even introduce to a couple of friends of mine."
"Hey, the more the merrier," Kuzco smiled before asking, "Is it alright if I speak with hot... er... Elsa? I need to apologize to her too."
Anna looked a little concerned before Sora nodded, "Alright."
Elsa walked with the Emperor as he apologized, "Look, when we first met, I wasn't really the nicest of guys... so sorry if I made you uncomfortable... in any way."
Elsa, as she thought of the Human Torch, reassured him, "It's fine. Believe me, you're not the first to try something like this."
Kuzco nodded, "Okay, good. Now, I have some advise for ya as well." Elsa turned to him confused before he clarified, "Ask your, web-headed, friend out already. I've seen the way you look at him."
Elsa blushed as she tried to deny it, "What? No, it- it's not like that... even if I did, it wouldn't work because he's getting over a heartbreak and I'm... not safe to be around..."
"Hey, I'm no match maker but even I believe everyone deserves a shot at love." Kuzco told her, "Just do us both a favor and at least think about it?"
As much Elsa wanted to deny it, she know Kuzco won't let this go unless she compromised, "Fine, I will..."
Kuzco smiled, "That's all I'm asking."
As Elsa returned to the others, Anna wondered, "So, what was that about? Did he try to flirt with you again?"
"No," Elsa reassured her, "He was just apologizing for being a jerk and gave me some advice."
"Good, Kuzco's really changed because of us," Sora smiled, "And thanks to him, we've halfway done with this journey."
Spider-Man nodded, "Yeah, three Infinity Stones down, only three to go and something tells me it's going to get harder from here."
"Congratulations." Everyone turned to see Gula leaning on the side of the wall, "You are truly as impressive as they say, Sora."
Sora nodded, "Thanks again for the help but why did you do it?"
"Trust me," Gula told him, "What we do will benefit all the worlds."
"We?" Rex wondered, "You mean the other Foretellers are here then?"
"So, you heard of us," Gula assumed, "Yes, we've been watching you for some time now. We heard how Sora managed to stop the impossible. Changed what was destined to happen. However, despite your best efforts, no everything is as it should be."
Sora blinked, "What do you mean?"
Gula simply told him, "Keep gathering the Infinity Stones and we'll tell you when the time is right. We'll help you in any way we can."
He turned to leave before Sora called out, "Did Ava send you?"
He froze, before turning to him, "What? How did you know that name?"
Sora explained, "Ava? She the one who told us about you guys. She also told me she appeared on these worlds alone."
Gula was shocked by this as Elsa realized, "You didn't know. You were just as much in the dark as she was."
"So, guess that crosses off if she was lying," Peter muttered, "She must have been telling the truth."
Gula was speechless before stating, "I... I must go... You should too. After destroying the Demon Tide, Yozora managed to slip away. He could be after you again. Thank you for telling me about Ava." He then used his Keyblade to open a portal as he turned to leave, he left one more message, "May your heart be your guiding key."
He then vanished through the portal. Elsa then turned to Sora, "So, what do you think?"
"Well, the man in the black coat is definitely involved with this in some way," He answered, "He's playing all of us."
Rex wondered, "So, what are we going to do about it?"
"Nothing," Sora answered, "Thanos is still planning on wiping out have the Universe. So, unless we can think of something that'll stop both of them, this is all we can do."
Elsa wondered, "By the way, how long did I was the fifth spirit?"
"Since when you all told me that story," Sora answered, "In fact, it's how I managed to convince both Mom and Dad to train you to control your powers."
Peter nodded, "Man, this like crazy stuff with that whole light show Elsa pulled on bucket head."
Sora turned to her, "Light show?"
"Yeah, you know?" Peter shrugged, "The bright light that blinded him... the full power of the Winter Spirit."
"That..." Sora stated, "That wasn't the power of a Winter Spirit." Everyone blinked at that, as Sora told them, "That was the power of a Princess of Heart."
Anna's eyes widened in shock, "You sure?"
Sora recalled when Kairi brought him back out of the darkness returning him back to human back on Radiant Garden when was known as Hollow Bastion. He nodded, "Yeah, I'm sure."
Elsa stared at her hands completely shocked as Anna wondered, "Can... can I do stuff like that too?"
"Probably," Sora admitted as he frowned, "Though Kairi would know better than I do though."
Elsa reassured him, "Hey, you'll see her again. We'll get the last three Infinity Stones, save the worlds, and save her."
Sora nodded, "Yeah..."
Anna then wondered, "Hey, when you grabbed the Reality Stone... do you think you change anything about this world."
Sora blinked before thinking, "Um... I don't think so."
"If you did," Elsa reassured him, "I'm sure it's not that big of a deal."
Sora nodded as they left the palace, "Yeah, you're probably right."
As Pacha and Kuzco watched them leave, the former reassured the Emperor, "Don't worry, I'm sure we'll see them again." Kuzco nodded as he sat beside Pacha before he stated, "You know, I'm pretty sure I heard some singing on the hill next to us. In case you're interested."
Kuzco took that under consideration...
Meanwhile, Vanitas had climbed out of the box as he held push toys of Sora and Kairi. He slowly burned them as he returned to Maleficent and Pete. The Mistress of All Evil asked, "So, how did it go?"
Vanitas chuckled, "Actually, it went better than excepted."
Pete blinked, "What? You mean you two planned this? The Key brat getting the Reality Stone, you getting knocked off the roof, all of it?"
Vanitas sheepishly added, "Well, maybe not getting knocked off the roof but other than that yes..."
Maleficent smirked, "Yes, soon, all of the Stones and the Worlds will be ours..."
At the same time, Gula had explained what had happened to his fellow Foretellers. Luxu was the first to speak, "Huh? Guess she did come back after all... and she's been hanging out on these worlds... I wonder what she's been doing all this time."
Invi stated, "Does it matter? Do you think she is going to be a problem?"
"Maybe... She didn't like what I was going to do when I told her." Xigbar stated.
Aced exclaimed, "Then she needs to be dealt with!"
"Guys, this is Ava we're talking about... she the kindness out of all us. And she always meant well..." Invi stated.
Gula nodded, "She deserves a chance to prove herself."
"Well then... Ira... the Master put you in charge... what do you think?" Luxu turned to the leader of the Foretellers.
He thought before saying, "We wait... see what develops."
