Chapter 4:

Reunited and Meeting

"We're here." Simba had brought Jackie and Phoebe to the secret grotto the Disney Resistance was staying. However, from Jackie could see, most of the warriors didn't look too good. They all looked tired, injured, and starting to loose hope. As the two girls and the lion walked through the camp to the main tent, the soldiers around them looked up and whispered amongst themselves.

"Those are the new heroes…?"

"They don't look like much."

"They'll be great."

"By God, we're all doomed!"

The trio arrived at the tent and walked in. Jackie gasped when she saw Monica standing next to Basil, who was getting his arm bandaged up a bit by his loyal friend, Dr. Dawson.

"Monica!" Jackie cried out. Monica looked over and smiled when she saw Jackie and they both ran over and hugged each other. "Are you alright?" Jackie asked.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Monica assured her. Letting go of Jackie, Monica hurried over to Phoebe and gave her a hug as well. "You're OK too, Phoebe?"

"Uh...Yeah, I am…" Phoebe answered, feeling awkward from the hug. Monica smiled and released Phoebe. Then the trio heard of girls heard the laughter of Mama Odie as she walked towards them.

"Well now, we got three of ya. So we just need to wait for your other friend." The old blind woman informed them.

"You mean Alexa?" Jackie asked.

Mama Odie replied, "You got it, Jackie!"

"Wait, how did you know my name?" The redhead asked.

"Well, we summoned ya, of course."

"Wait, you people are the reason we're here?" Phoebe glared at Mama Odie. Before the voodoo lady could reply, Mulan and Anna walked into the tent.

"Sorry to interrupt, but we got news, and it's good news." Mulan stated. "We've heard that Sarah Sakura has escaped from Hades."

"Really? That's great!" Simba chimed in.

"Hold on!" Phoebe interrupted, gaining everyone's attention. "Can we focus on the main topic here? Why did you...summon us here?" She asked.

"Well, you see…" Anna was trying to find a gentle and nice way of stating the problem but Mama Odie beat her to it.

"The Disney World is on the brink of destruction, girlie, and we need your help to stop it from happening." She informed the three girls. Jackie, Monica, and Phoebe stood there in shock before Jackie spoke up.

"...I'm sorry, what?" She just wanted to make sure that she heard that correctly.

"You heard me, child. Now, Monica," Mama Odie walked over to Monica, "tell me something. When you and Basil here were escaping London, you said you and him heard the rat talking to someone."

"Y-Yes…" Monica answered. "But I don't know who it was."

"And he said something about a "Grand Finale"?"

"Yes ma'am." Mama Odie started muttering as she walked away and sat down.

She then spoke up. "Now girls, you've heard and seen Disney Movies right?"

"Yes, Mama Odie." Jackie chimed in.

"Then you should also know that the heroes always win and the bad guys always lose." The girls nodded their heads. "Well, right now, that isn't the case. Nearly all of the Disney Heroes, Hercules, Aladdin, Robin Hood, and many others have been captured by the villains."

"Captured?" Jackie repeated.

"You're kidding…" Phoebe muttered.

"She's not." Mulan said. "Ever since Mickey's capture, we've failing nearly every battle, and losing most of our forces and heroes." Mulan looked away and looked as if she was on the verge of crying.

"But why are we here?" Monica asked.

"Because we asked to find new heroes." Simba answered. "And you, Jackie, and your friends seem to fit the bill." Jackie looked at the lion, shocked. Her? A hero? That's impossible, right?

"But...But...But I nearly failed Geometry back at school at home! How can I be a hero?" She questioned.

"Math ain't got nothing to do with saving us, Jackie!" Mama Odie snapped at her as she stood up. "We need new heroes before these baddies take us all!" Jackie looked at Mama Odie before looking at Monica and Phoebe. Was this all real? Was this really happening? Disney Characters needed their help in saving their world? This was too much to process all at once! Jackie felt herself stumble backwards a little but Anna was able to catch her incase she fell down.

"Th-Thanks…" Jackie told Anna. She stood back up straight and looked around. "Can my friends and I talk about this, privately please?" Jackie asked. And with that, the three girls were led to a small tent so that they could talk. At first, the girls were silent and didn't say anything. The three of them just looked at each other before looking away. All of their thoughts were different.

Jackie's thoughts were that they should help them. Disney was big part of Jackie's childhood and many other people's as well. If what Mama Odie said was true about the Disney World being destroyed, then there has to be something they could do to stop it!

Phoebe's thoughts were that this was all too crazy! First they all fell into some kind of portal and arrive in a forest, then nearly get captured by Gaston of all people, and now these...characters wanted them to fight villains to reclaim the Disney World?! This couldn't be happening, could it? Phoebe had to admit, fighting those weird soldier guys back in town with a metal yo-yo was cool, but...she was just too confused!

Monica's thoughts were a mix between Jackie's and Phoebe's thoughts. She wanted to help these people, especially after what she saw with Yen Sid and Basil back in London, but this was too much for her to take in. It didn't make any sense! However, she knew for a fact that this is not what the Disney World was supposed to be. It was supposed to be happy and cheerful. Not full of war.

With all their minds made up, the three girls broke the awkward silence and spoke up at the same time.

"We should help them." Jackie had said.

"We need to help them." Monica had said.

"I want out." Phoebe had said. Jackie and Monica looked at Phoebe when they heard her. Phoebe looked away, a bit embarrassed that she was only one who said that. But then she looked back at the two older girls and spoke again. "This isn't our business. I just want to go home."

"But Phoebe...These people are suffering." Jackie said. "And they need us-"

"They need YOU, Jackie, and YOUR friends." Phoebe corrected her. "Not me."

"But aren't-"

"No, we aren't." Phoebe interrupted Monica and turned away, crossing her arms. "I'm only here because Jackie and you guys dragged be along the Disney World Park! I didn't want any part of this!" Phoebe nearly shouted. She took a deep breath and sighed. "I'm sorry, but I don't want to do this." And with that said, Phoebe walked out of the tent.

Jackie was surprised at what Phoebe had said. She had thought Phoebe and her were friends since that day at orientation at the high school. Phoebe and Jackie had a blast together that day and the rest of the days they spent together at the school. What could've changed Phoebe? Jackie raced after Phoebe and came out of the tent and saw her talking to Simba and Mama Odie. Soon enough, Mama Odie nodded at Simba and the lion led Phoebe out of the resistance campgrounds. Jackie simply watched as Phoebe and Simba left. Monica came out of the tent soon and saw the same thing.

Monica put her hand on Jackie's shoulder, "We can't force her to change her mind."

"I know, but…" Jackie was at a loss for what to say. She then shook her head and smiled at Monica. "You're right. Let's just focus on getting back together with Alexa."

"Agreed." Monica nodded her head and followed Jackie as they went to tell Mama Odie that they would help join the fight.

"This way." Simba led Phoebe past the area were she and Jackie had first met him and were walking towards a thicker set of trees. "I'm taking you to the Entrance. It connects our Disney World with your real world. We just...oh no." Simba stopped walking when he saw something.

"What's wrong?" Phoebe asked.

"Get down!" Simba whispered as he ducked down into the bushes and Phoebe did the same. Soon, the sight of two Crimson Soldiers came into view as they were walking towards a large stone-structure that looked like a circle. More soldiers were there as well as some kind of construction equipment, as they were taking apart the circular structure. Phoebe heard Simba growl in anger.

"I'm guessing that's the Entrance…" Phoebe whispered to Simba.

Simba replied, "Yeah, I didn't think they would find it so quickly."

"Why are they taking it apart?!" She asked, quietly. Before Simba could answer her question, he looked out to the scene and saw the sorcerer, Jafar, coming in through teleportation.

"Jafar, sir!" One soldier greeted the evil man. "We've almost finished the deconstruction of the Entrance."

"Excellent." Jafar commented. "And once we find the gem within it, HE will surely fulfill our agreement and give me complete control of Agrabah." Jafar chuckled before breaking into maniacal laughter. Simba couldn't understand why they were taking apart the Entrance but he knew for a fact it wasn't for anything good.

"Phoebe, we need to head back to the camp!" Simba whispered.

"I understand, but…" Phoebe looked at Simba before looking back at the Entrance.

"We can't stay here much longer. We have to go back and warn the rest that…" Simba froze as he and Phoebe heard a Crimson Soldier walking their way.

"What's wrong 00-94?" Another soldier asked.

"I think I hear voices over here." The soldier answered as he readied his blaster gun to shoot whatever was in the bushes. Phoebe was frozen with fear as she saw a bit of the soldier aiming and getting ready to fire.

"Phoebe." Simba growled softly. "When I pounce on him, hurry back to the campground." He told her. Before Phoebe could say anything, Simba roared and jumped out of hiding startling the soldier and landing on top of him. The sound of Simba's roar and the soldier's startled screaming caught the attention of the other soldiers and Jafar. Soldiers who weren't busy deconstructing the Entrance got their own weapons ready and fired at Simba. The Lion King growled at the Crimson Soldiers before him and charged at them with fury. Phoebe, still in hiding, watched as Simba attacked the small forces all for her to escape and not get captured. Phoebe was about to try and dash for it but she felt someone roughly grab her arm. She gasped and turned to see who grabbed her arm, but the person who held her arm put his free hand over her mouth to keep her quiet.

The boy looked around Phoebe's age with snowy white, spikey hair and bright red-colored eyes. His skin was pale and pasty that popped because of the black cloak he wore around his body. Phoebe also noticed that there was a scar over his right cheek.

"If you want to live, come with me, don't scream, ask any questions, or make any noise. Got it?!" The boy questioned quietly to Phoebe is a threatening tone. Phoebe was a bit scared but slowly nodded her head before the boy dragged her to her feet and they started running through the forest as Simba fought the soldiers.

As Simba kept the Crimson Soldiers at bay, thinking Phoebe was getting back to the campground, Jafar shot magic at the lion. Simba was pushed up against the stone from the Entrance as the magic Jafar was blasting him with drained him of his energy and strength. Simba couldn't keep his eyes open as he soon felt himself weak and exhausted before falling unconscious…

Sarah and Alexa were still on their way to the campground through the fields. They were coming up on the forest where the resistance was hidden away when Sarah came to a screeching halt. Alexa looked up and saw that Sarah was panting and sweating a bit.

"Are you alright, Sarah?" Alexa asked.

"Huh…? Oh, yeah, just fine." Sarah answered. "I just haven't ran like this in a few months. Being a prisoner and all." She chuckled as little. "We'll be at the campgrounds soon, don't worry." Just as she was about to start running again, she didn't. Instead, Sarah rolled to the side before a bolder came down and would've crushed them. Sarah held onto Alexa tight before looking up to see where the boulder came from. She saw in the distance a buff figure coming their way. He had red curly hair and greek armor. Alexa immediately recognized who it was.

"Hercules!" She called out. She squirmed out of Sarah's arms and ran towards the Greek Hero. "Thank goodness you're…" But before she could finish her sentence, Hercules charged forward and threw a punch at Alexa. Luckily, Sarah grabbed Alexa and pulled the younger girl out of the way as Hercules punched the ground where Alexa once stood. Sarah backed away with Alexa from Hercules.

"What's going on?!" Alexa asked, in complete shock.

"I don't know, but Hercules isn't in the right mindset at the moment." Sarah guessed before she put Alexa down. She cracked her knuckles and popped her neck to the side as she approached the demigod. "But whatever it is, I'll knock some sense into him. I could use a good fight." Sarah smirked a bit. The Oni prepared herself by getting into a fighting stance as Hercules did the same. A second past before Sarah charged at Hercules and threw a right-hook punch. Hercules blocked the punch and grabbed her wrist and threw Sarah to the side, but the princess was able to land on her feet and ran back towards the redhead. She threw a kick this time and was able to fake out Hercules by turning a roundhouse kick into a simple knee to the stomach, which was enough to knock the wind out of him. But Hercules wasn't giving up. It was his turn to attack. Hercules put his fists together and slammed down on Sarah, who tried blocking it with her forearms, but it turned out to hurt much more than she thought and had much more force. She tried to keep with the pressure but Hercules quickly took his right fist and uppercutted her in the jaw before punching her in the stomach. Sarah had little time to recover as the hero grabbed her arm and threw her again. This time Sarah slid on the ground but was able to get back on her feet before wiping some blood away from her mouth.

"This is gonna take a while…" Sarah mumbled.

Jackie and Monica are with the Resistance, Phoebe was taken away by some mysterious boy near the Entrance, and Alexa is watching Sarah and Hercules fight! What will happen next?! Stay toon to find out!
