ACT IV:
Scene 1:
(on Monolith Isle, he sees Ivlet and Mary attacking Noel, and Lucas rushes over, with Ivlet quickly jumping out of his way, taking immediate notice)
Ivlet: Well, well. If it isn't Lucas!
(Lucas is about to angrily reply, but is jumped on by Mary, who holds him to the ground; Neil tries to attack Ivlet again with his powers, but, Ivlet speeds away; Noel is injured, and he runs off, and to Lucas's guess, to Bubble Cave to hide)
Lucas: Why are you doing this?!
Mary: Ivlet?!
Ivlet: Mary! Come on! Let's go and sail off!
Lucas: Don't even think about it, Ivlet!
Mary: (looks at Lucas's ring) Hey what's that?!
Lucas: What's what?!
(Mary snatches the ring in her jaws, and throws it to Ivlet, and Ivlet catches it in his jaws, and runs off toward the deck, knowing that this object was probably a magic one of Lucas's)
Lucas: Hey! My warp ring!
Mary: So that's what it was?! What was it for?!
Lucas: Get off me!
(Lucas pushes Mary off, and Mary starts to dart away towards the ship; but, Lucas uses his extra strength to hold her down back, and sees that Noel took his clothes off, and jumped onto the ship with Ivlet and the bad half; Mary never wore clothes, so, Lucas realizes that Noel was planning to trick Ivlet like that, and Ivlet thought that Mary had joined him; Lucas hoped that Noel would say absolutely no word to Ivlet, knowing that would give him away)
Mary: Wait a minute, Ivlet is taking off without me!
Lucas: That's right! And you are not going anywhere!
(Lucas lets Mary go, knowing that the ship has already gone far enough to where Ivlet cannot hear from here now)
(Mary still rushes off towards the coast, and calls out for Ivlet, but Ivlet does not hear her; Mary lies down, and accepts that she has been outsmarted harshly)
(Lucas knows she has no choice but to go nowhere, and he himself cannot either, as Mary stole his warp ring, so, also knowing there is nothing he can do right now, he pads off towards his cabin, and looks for herb oil for the physical scratches that Mary gave him, and applies some on for himself)
(Lucas walks out of the cabin to see that Mary is still there, and decides to pad over to her)
Lucas: Mary?
Mary: (furious) What do you want, Lucas?!
Lucas: It's kinda cold out tonight, huh? Why don't you come inside my cabin? I have food and herbs in there.
Mary: I don't need anything from you!
(Lucas zaps her, and she realizes if she did not do what she was told to do, it would keep happening, so, she reluctantly follows Lucas to his cabin)
(inside the cabin, Lucas feeds Mary and gives her some herb oil as well to tend to her pain)
Mary: (confused) I don't understand, Lucas. Why are you helping a villain?
Lucas: (sighs) Mary, why do you work for Ivlet, anyway?
Mary: Why?! Because he is my adopted father!
Lucas: (baffled, stopped in his tracks) What do you mean, adopted father?!
Mary: Ivlet told me that when I was a kitten, I was abandoned by my parents, and he took me in, and so did Daeva, as my new mom and dad.
Lucas: Who's Daeva?
Mary: The bad half of the hat!
Lucas: Oh, so that's her name!
Mary: Yes!
Lucas: But, wait a minute. Ivlet is a true heartless villain, always has been, and he decides to take in an orphan kitten? (thinking for a second) (suspiciously) Something isn't right, here.
Mary: What do you mean, something isn't right?!
Lucas: Did he "raise" you to be evil?
Mary: What do you mean by that?
Lucas: Mary, do you do evil things just because Ivlet tells you to?
(Mary looked uncertain)
Lucas: Or do you really want to do that stuff, and eagerly?
Mary: Well...Ivlet tells me that is the way to live.
Lucas: Mary, he's a liar! He has been nothing but a liar his whole life! He probably wanted to raise you to be evil, but... (voice trails off)
Mary: What is it?
(Lucas stays silent for a minute, but Mary remains in eye contact with him until he responds)
Lucas: Mary? I... (sighs) I did not want to kill you.
(Mary looks at him, still with the uncertainty in her eyes)
Lucas: I have taken a little time to look through your eyes, and I don't see evil. I see anger.
(Mary is still staring silently with uncertainty)
Lucas: I could just tell that... (sighs) I know you never meant to hurt me, Mary.
Mary: What?
Lucas: I understand that Ivlet has taught you much, but, I don't think he was raising you. He was turning you into someone that you're not.
Mary: I still don't understand, Lucas.
Lucas: (sighs)
Mary: Well then, who am I?
Lucas: I don't know Mary. But, I don't think Ivlet is really your father.
Mary: Why wouldn't he be?
Lucas: Ivlet is pure evil! He should know that even if he were to try to raise a child to be evil, evil energy would still not take over the child!
Mary: What is evil ENERGY?
Lucas: It is the force that is created when a villain uses the Magic Hat, and when the villain gains much power. In the end, it can destroy that villain, if he or she is not careful to lose control over his or herself.
Mary: But...how...?
Lucas: Huh?
Mary: But Ivlet is WEARING the Magic Hat. How come he is not in control of it, then?!
Lucas: It is because of Beat.
Mary: Who's Beat?
Lucas: Beat is the GOOD half of the Magic Hat. He told me, before he went back into the Magic Hat, that, he would prevent it from being used for evil again, and Daeva, being the bad half booted out, cannot make the Magic Hat evil again. Beat is using his power to keep Daeva out.
Mary: (sighs) Oh.
Lucas: (sighs) Listen, Mary. You don't have to live like this. You'd be safe living with the residents of Pawville. We take care of each other.
(Mary looks at Lucas baffled)
Lucas: You can't trust Ivlet and Daeva. You have a choice, and I welcome you to come to the light side.
Mary: Why?!
Lucas: (begins to sing Don't Let Ivlet Control You)
You don't have to be the bad guy.
It makes no difference the crimes you may commit to do.
On the inside of you, you and I are alike.
The wolf does not make you who you are.
I can tell you still have a good heart.
Mary: (sings in Don't Let Ivlet Control You)
I understand what you're saying.
But that doesn't apply to the way of Ivlet.
His orders are the ones that go.
Expectations are not the high but the low.
And this way, I still live on.
Lucas: (continues to sing Don't Let Ivlet Control You) (while singing, they walk around the island together)
You don't have to be afraid to let your true soul guide you.
You could find a better life anew.
Because the life you have now, is not the way to live.
Other cats, even me, could have so much more to give.
You should change your own life.
It should not be full of evil and strife.
I can open up a whole new world for you now.
Only positive moments would be allowed.
Your character on the inside,
Is different from the outside,
Now you do have a choice.
Don't let Ivlet control you.
You do not have to be evil.
You can turn good, and never step foot near Ivlet again.
(Lucas finishes the song, and return inside the cabin; Mary seems almost comforted by it, but at the same time, she seems angered, as if she still is very loyal to Ivlet)
Lucas: Why don't we get some sleep?
Mary: (sighs; hint of anger) Okay.
(the two cats fall asleep)
Scene 2:
(Ivlet is at Pawville, and scaring all the cats and wrecking houses, along with "Mary" and Daeva)
Ivlet: (announcing) That's right, kitties! Ivlet is BACK!
Daeva: (looking at Victor from a distance) Hey, isn't that Victor?
Ivlet: Well, yes, I think, but we don't want to get near him. He still has passed down powers.
Daeva: I think we should get rid of him before he causes trouble for us, right Mary?
(Noel doesn't respond)
Daeva: I'll take that as a yes.
Ivlet: (seeing Ada, who is looking at him) I remember you, Ada!
Ada: (calling) Noel, what do you think you are doing?!
Daeva: Noel?!
Ada: (calling) Noel, don't just stand there!
Ivlet: Wait a minute... (sniffs) You aren't MARY!
(Noel zaps Ivlet, but Ivlet and Daeva run away towards Whisker Woods)
Ivlet: Daeva! Mary must be on Monolith Isle still!
Daeva: We have to go back and defeat Lucas once and for all!
Ivlet: But not right now, not at night. Though that is a disadvantage of Lucas, it is for us as well!
Daeva: Right! Let's take shelter in the woods! We attack right tomorrow!
(back in Pawville, the village cats are gathered around)
Ada: People! We have to do something about Ivlet!
Sai: Where could Lucas be anyway?!
Augusta: Why isn't Lucas here?!
(murmurs of panic all across the village)
Ada: Everybody, please calm down!
(murmurs slowly begin to silence)
Sai: If we don't do something now, regardless of Lucas, who knows what Ivlet will do!
Augusta: But what exactly do we have to do?!
Sai: (begins to sing We Must Defeat Ivlet)
We must battle against Ivlet! We must defeat him!
We must join as forces, together we can win!
Ada: (sings in We Must Defeat Ivlet)
We must keep watch for Ivlet! We must keep track of where he goes!
If we can never find him, the Magic Hat is gone for good!
Sai: (sings in We Must Defeat Ivlet)
We can make an army, and overpower the wolf!
All we need is the courage to fight,
The will to do it day or night!
(all villagers sing in We Must Defeat Ivlet)
We must defeat Ivlet!
He must pay for his bad deeds!
We can take on Ivlet and win it!
At the battle end we will succeed!
He is nothing but pure evil,
But he doesn't have power over us!
If we build a somewhat army,
We can take over only three enemies!
Victor: (sings in We Must Defeat Ivlet)
We'll gladly sink our claws and teeth,
Into Ivlet's vile flesh underneath!
We'll all leap on him at once,
The hat will fall, and off the dunce!
Sai: (sings in We Must Defeat Ivlet)
At the battle, we will find Lucas and work to earn our victory!
All the cats we can find will apply, and will help to gain authority!
(all villagers sing the rest of We Must Defeat Ivlet)
We will never give up, the future of the world is in our paws,
We have to show Ivlet, he can't make any of the laws!
Ivlet had better never come back!
He will feel the force of his great alack!
Assuming he is not strong enough,
We will win, because we'll be tough.
He does not stand a chance with us,
Tomorrow we will avenge with Lucas!
We must defeat Ivlet!
He must pay for his bad deeds!
We can take on Ivlet and win it!
At the battle end we will succeed!
He is nothing but pure evil,
But he doesn't have power over us!
If we build a somewhat army,
We can take over only three enemies!
Ivlet must go for good!
(murmurs of agreement from all villagers)
Scene 3:
(Lucas wakes up in the morning to find that Mary is awake and out the door; Lucas walks out, looks around, and sees in absolute shock that on one side, Ivlet, Daeva, and Mary are looking aggressively to the other side where an army of villagers have apparently fled the island, and are now staring at Ivlet, who has clearly seen Noel's trick by now, and went back to the island to trap the cats again; Lucas runs over to the cats, particularly Augusta and Sai)
Lucas: How much damage did Ivlet cause?
Augusta: That doesn't matter right now. What matters is that we get rid of him once and for all.
Sai: To get the Magic Hat back, all we have to do is altogether attack them, as there are only 3 of them and this many of us.
Augusta: Is that not what you had in mind?
Lucas: Well, there is no need to place someone in danger, many no less.
(just then, he turns around, and all cats stare in fear and shock that now walking behind Ivlet are several other wolves, who look just as evil)
Lucas: Oh my gosh.
Ivlet: (announcing) Special thanks to the warp ring, for inviting plenty of my closest friends and relatives, who agreed to come.
Augusta: Oh, no...
(Lucas walks in front of all the village cats)
Ivlet: (announcing) ATTACK!
(all wolves, and Mary, begin to flood in and attack the village cats; Mary runs up to Lucas, and attacks with sharp teeth and claws)
Lucas: Why are you doing this?!
Mary: Shut up, Lucas!
(they continue fighting, but Mary has much more skill, and Lucas is already beginning to lose power, and after 30 seconds, she goes for the throat, about to kill Lucas, but out of absolutely nowhere, Victor jumps on top of her, saving Lucas's life)
Lucas: (panting) Victor?
Victor: (panting)
Mary: Argh! (goes for Victor, and they start to attack each other, but then Augusta and Sai come to help him, and and the two go against Mary, while the battle with the other wolves goes on with the rest of the villagers)
Lucas: (mentally) I must get that hat! Come on, Victor!
(Lucas and Victor go in and sink their claws into a wolf that was attacking Ada and Noel, pushing the wolf out of the way)
Lucas: Come on! After Ivlet, we have to get that hat!
(the four cats all run around the battle, trying to avoid being noticed by other wolves, and run straight into Ivlet with fury)
Ivlet: (angrily) HEY!
(Lucas jumps on top of him, and so do Ada and Noel, sinking their claws into his pelt, but Ivlet easily knocks them all off of him, and all four cats are in slight pain, and stare up at Ivlet)
Ivlet: You fools!
Lucas: Surrender, Ivlet!
Ivlet: Never!
Lucas: (to Victor) Why did you save me, anyway?!
Victor: I know you were the cause of my daughter's disappearance, but I couldn't end our friendship like this!
Ivlet: (sinisterly giggles) What did you say, Victor?
Victor: Lucas stole my daughter and got away with it!
Lucas: I told you a thousand times...
Ivlet: No.
Victor: Huh?
(there was a few moments of silence)
Ivlet: Victor, Lucas did not steal your kitten.
Victor: How...do...you...know?!
Ivlet: Because I KNOW who stole your kitten.
Lucas: What?! Who?!
Ivlet: (softly but sinisterly giggles and says sinisterly and clearly) I did.
Lucas: You what?!
(Ada and Noel jump on top of Ivlet again, and sink their claws into him, gripping him very tight; Ivlet attempts to knock them off again, but, his hat knocks off instead, and Lucas jumps onto the hat, snatches it, runs away, and quickly puts it back on his head)
Ivlet: NO!
Lucas: (announcing, giving orders to Beat) Beat, have all evil hearts be sucked in and destroyed FOREVER!
(an enormous purple vortex appears over the island, stopping all the wolves and cats in their attacks, gazing up at it; Mary is looking at it with horror and shock)
Lucas: (announcing, giving orders to Beat) All evil energy shall suck up ALL EVIL SOULS right now!
(the vortex creates a vacuum-like wind, and all the wolves hang on tight to the ground, but then get sucked up, as they are not strong enough)
Ivlet: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (Ivlet screams as he is once again sucked into a vortex, but this time, to be killed)
(all the wolves scream in agony as the force pulls them up, and Daeva is sucked in as well; after all are sucked in, the vortex closes up, and shoots high into the sky, creating a sort of firework or bomb, and, it was all over)
(Lucas and Victor pad over to where Augusta and Sai are standing next to Mary, who is staring in complete shock)
Lucas: (to Mary) Mary.
Mary: What...why...did...uh...?
(Lucas closes his eyes, and the Magic Hat begins to light, and, hat light sheds on Mary, and Victor, and all the other villagers, who have gathered around in stunned silence, watched)
Lucas: Mary.
Mary: How come I wasn't sucked in and killed?
Lucas: (sighs) Mary. (stares at her for a few seconds) I always knew that although you worked for Ivlet, and did every terrible thing he said to do...(takes a moment to look around at the crowd of cats, and then back to Mary)...you do NOT have...an evil heart.
Mary: What?!
Lucas: On the outside, you are a villain. But on the inside, you are a good person, with a loving heart.
(Mary looks at Lucas with shock)
Lucas: (announcing to give an order to Beat) Beat, let all positive energy enter into Mary.
(all villagers look on in silence and shock)
Mary: (looking at herself) Huh?!
(Mary is lifted just off the ground into the air, and the hat light sheds over her, and slowly, she changes color, into a tortoiseshell cat, and is placed back down)
(murmurs of shock rising from all the villagers around)
Mary: Uh...
(Victor, stunned, walks over slowly to Mary, looking at her straight in the eye)
Victor: Abigail?
Mary: Who's Abigail?
Victor: You are. (sighs lovingly) You are MY daughter.
Mary: I am YOUR daughter?!
Victor: (about to cry) Yes!
(Mary and Victor slowly get closer, and hug and cry)
(claps and cheers from all the villagers surrounding the two hugging cats)
