WE'RE BACK FOLKS! 🎉🎉🎉

Boy where do I start? I've been extremely busy the past couple weeks. Not only was I busy redecorating my place. Seeing some films like Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3.

10 out of 10 for that film! The MCU is still alive! 😁🎉🏆🌟

"***k anyone who thinks it ain't!" Mini-Mav exclaimed. 😡

Also I played Star Wars Jedi Survivor and watched Star Wars Visions Season 2.

10 out of 10 for them too! 😁🏆🎉🌟

And now I'm about to finally play Legend Of Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom. People already told me what the ratings are so I'm pumped!

But first let's wrap this up. After we check on King Triton. Give Connor and Melody a cute moment and dress up together.

We're going straight!~ To!~ The Wild Wild West!~

"NOOOO! DON'T REFERENCE THAT GOD AWFUL FILM!" Maverick exclaimed.

Ugh! Not that film Will Smith is ashamed of. The one Disney made and the remake of another Disney western meeting together. Duh!

"Oh. Hehe. My bad, Dawg. Please continue." Maverick replied. 😅

We will. After I answer this comment.

RustyPete12: Oh yeah. Those children are saved. I always figured that they're anonymous demise was meant to be a lesson to rebellious children in real life. But now we have a better picture for those lost souls. And don't worry. The Coachman and Honest John will get theirs. After all, every Kingdom Hearts story has an epilogue for all the worlds. 👍😉

Alright! Now that we're all here!

LET'S GET DANGEROUS! 😎


The Mav In The West.

Morning at Meridian palace...

King Triton remained inside of his luxurious chamber which still served as his prison. Still wearing a security collar around his neck. But still safe. All for the sake of keeping his trident alive as well. But so far it works on the advantages of both sides. For the Kingdom of Atlantica and the Guardians of the Depth, it will be good enough news that Triton is alive and they have a chance to save him. But for Meridia and Attuma. It will be because his life is the only thing holding the key to absolute power. Beyond what anyone else has.

However. Not everyone in Meridia is loyal to Attuma's true cause. For there are those who walk a necessary balance, and they serve a better cause. Lunafreya the Oracle of Light is one of them.

Speaking of which. As Triton looks out floating in front of the windows with his hands behind his back. Thinking about his family. Lunafreya chose to personally deliver a tray of Triton's meal.

"Your breakfast, My Lord." lunafreya smiled as she placed the dish tray on a table.

"Thank you." Triton said softly without looking back at her.

Lunafreya could feel his heart was uneasy. It's been this way since he was taken here. And the Oracle couldn't blame him. But as a harbinger of justice and an Oracle. It is her job to bring ease to all those in front of her. Even a prisoner. And it's a good thing Attuma was too busy plotting at his main base. So the tyrant does not hear what she has to say.

"I can feel your heart is in disquietude from everything that has transpired. Rest assured. All will be well in the end." Lunafreya said with comfort.

If it were anyone else that told the King those words. Triton would've lashed out. But since he could tell how good Lunafreya's heart is due to all of the kindness she has shown the King of Atlantica. Triton decided to give her a calm but honest answer of how he felt about the situation.

"As much as I would like to believe that, I find that highly unlikely, if Attuma has his way." Triton said calmly to her, but with a sternness that conveyed the emotions he felt about the situation. "I'm only still alive until he gets my power. Then when he has it, he'll do away with me and continue his twisted plans of Genocide and power quenching."

"That may be his plan. But contrary to what he believes. Attuma doesn't hold all of the cards. And the light has bigger plans than him." Lunafreya stated.

"That it does." Triton said with a nod before looking curious. "Youseem to hold different values and beliefs than Atumma. Why do you serve him?"

Lunafreya smiled warmly at the king. As id to indicate she has something to reveal.

"Do you promise to keep a secret?" Lunafreya asked.

"I suppose I could." Triton said with a very slight smile.

"Attuma believes I share a path that leads straight forward in his plans of darkness, because I give him answers as a servant to the light. But in truth. I don't serve either Attuma. Or the path to light or the path to darkness." Lunafreya revealed as she looked out the window. "I serve the path of balance. The road to dawn."

Triton's eyes widened in understanding.

"I see. You walk the path that understands that darkness and light cannot exist without the other." Triton realized.

Lunafreya chuckled very lightly. "No, My Lord. My gift and knowledge and insight. How I translate what the light and the dark says, and interpret the will of balance. I don't walk the path. I serve the path. The road to dawn. Is for someone else to walk it." The Oracle clarified.

"Who?" Triton asked.

"He will be ready soon." Lunafreya could only say. Hinting towards another hero. "But for now. There are others. The Guardians of the Depths are coming. Attuma believes he can use them. But the way of light can't be predicted when you stand in the shadow the light casts forth."

"The Guardians of the Depth?" Triton asked, confused, never having heard of them before now." Who are they? Allies to the Meridian Resistance?"

"More than allies. They are the ones chosen by the keyblade. Or rather two of them are. But one of the two, is your granddaughter. The one that the stars call Tsunami. You know her, as Princess Melody." Lunafreya revealed.

"What?" Triton gasped in shock. "I told that boy to protect my granddaughter! Not recruit her to fight!"

"Peace, My Lord." Lunafreya held her hand up and spoke in a soft, subdued voice. "The Maverick did not recruit her. Despite his independence, he had no choice. The light chose her as a wielder for the keyblade. And the stars foretold that the only way to victory is if the Maverick walks his path with a Princess of Heart."

Triton looked even more shocked.

"My Granddaughter? A Princess of heart?" Triton realized.

"Yes. And because of her important role in the matter. She will not parish. The Light of Kingdom Hearts would wither away before Princess Melody falls. And she is under the protection of the Maverick. Who guards her with his life." Lunafreya assured.

After Triton heard this, he thought about it for a second before letting out a sigh.

"It appears I may have made the right choice in putting my trust in Connor Ramsey." Triton stated.

"Indeed. But regardless of her protection. Princess Melody has done so many wonderful things with the Guardians. Becoming champions of Olympus, earning the favor of the gods while using their boon to set several Nymphs free to finally live. Saving a young girl's world from an illusion. Liberating a world of humanoid jungle creatures from a long time war. And even now they have just rescued many lost children from being sold into slavery as donkeys." Lunafreya described all of the good they have done so far.

Triton took everything he heard in, before letting out a small chuckle.

"Such a big strong heart that girl has. Just like her mother." Triton said with a fond smile.

"She doesn't just fight for them. She's fighting for you. She hasn't even officially met you, and yet she is fighting for you." Lunafreya softly stated.

"Is she? Well I am certainly looking forward to finally meeting her, even more than I was before." Triton said before giving a chuckle. "And I didn't even think that was possible."

"It's more possible than ever. So have faith, My Lord. You will meet her sooner than you realize." Lunafreya smiled as she turned to leave. And froze. "Oh. There is one more thing."

Lunafreya walked over and handed King Triton a leaf. Which he recognizes from a special fruit.

"A paopu leaf? Triton asked in curiosity.

The same one from the paopu fruit Connor and Ramsey shared.

"Her destiny is aligned with the Maverick's." Lunafreya smiled softly as she revealed.

The paopu fruit is only shared between two that have fallen in love. Which can only mean one thing if Melody and Connor have eaten the fruit together...

Triton's eyes widened as he realized the two were in love, making him have a big smile.

"Well, I'll be." Triton said fondly, looking at the leaf.

It was at that moment that Triton realized just how much of her mother Melody has in her. If King Triton didn't have hope before he does now.

He looked over at his trident which was mounted in a bullet proof plexiglass case. No longer feeling despair and hopelessness. Because he now knows the truth.

King Triton will await the Guardians' arrival.


Meanwhile back on the Stingray...

This morning was a breeze for the team. Which they definitely needed the quiet after things got crazy in Pleasure Island.

Connor was on the couch in the main room of the lower deck. Wearing his keyblader attire with his coat and sunglasses off while he was leaning back. Melody was on her right side while laying her head on Connor's lap. She was wearing only her blue shorts and a dark green t shirt with the Maverick's M logo on it. And her bare feet were curled up on the couch as Connor stroked and played with her long raven colored hair.

And he was also telling her a story.

"After that moment. Doctor Doom's power left him. Cause Odin spoke from the heavens to claim his power back, and punish Doom for stealing his power and nearly ending the universe. No one has ever seen or heard from Doctor Doom ever since." Connor finished the first story of the Ultimate Alliance. "And Earth was restored back as the damage was reversed and all the Marvel heroes were restored. Thus the Ultimate Alliance claimed victory as the world owed them a debt of gratitude it can never repay."

"Wow. That was an amazing story." Melody expressed on the story she just heard. "But what became of Doctor Doom after that?"

"He and Thor's brother Loki continue to pay for their crimes in Asgard's prison. There's no one they wouldn't hurt to gain power. If anything I'd paid double the IMAX 3D price to see Attuma get the same treatment." Connor answered.

"Well, by the time we're through with him, he'll be begging us to lock him up in a cell." Melody said confidently.

"Unfortunately his dark stash he keeps up in layaway will need a hole deep enough to get lost in." Connor remarked about the Shadow King. "Cause Shadow the Hedge-King ain't some stroll through the gym."

"Who do you think the bigger threat will be? Attuma, or the Shadow King?" Melody asked.

"Honestly I'd say Shadow King. The only threats that are worse are the kind that can get into your head. Kinda like Aunt Trudy's peach cobbler. But if Attuma manages to pull some weird shit to swallow Shadow King up or whatever. Than I'll get to take a seat during the final round." Connor answered as he continued to run his fingers through her hair.

"Yeah. That's true." Melody said, thinking about the fights to come. "I just hope we don't get any more surprise enemies coming after us."

"Mel, it's a war. One thing the other side never does is spoil who's been recruited. Except for the blue states but that's karma." Connor pointed out with added humor.

Then Donald came out of his room wearing a white sleeping shirt and nightcap. As he stretched his arms yawning and muttered as he poured some coffee from the coffee maker and drank some straight down before he exhaled and looked over.

"Hey. I thought you two were gonna swim race this morning." Donald figured with a skeptical frown.

"We did. Early this morning." Connor deadpanned while looking bummed out.

"And guess who the victor was?" Melody asked while looking smug, indicating she was the one who won.

"Huh? You out swam the sub?!" Donald gasped. "Even with the Highwind mods?!"

"what can I say? I was born to swim." Melody said in a haughty tone, kicking her legs and bare feet in the air.

"She swam in her mermaid form. And her aquakinetic powers were one hell of a turbo boost." Connor stated as he formed a neon paper bag over his head as if to hide his shame.

"I basically left him in the dust." Melody boasted while she playfully poked Connor's cheek through the neon paper bag.

"Unbelievable...All of the expensive mods and we can't out swim even a..." Donald muttered in disbelief and exasperation as he walked into the bathroom to shower.

"Besides the fact that you get to decide what we cook on the Stingray next. I'm scared to ask what the surprise prize is." Connor muffled inside the neon paper bag.

"Well, since I worked really hard to win, I thinking maybe my prize should be another foot and leg massage." Melody said with a playful smile.

"What's the catch?" Connor muffled.

"There is no catch. I just think you should pamper your beautiful girlfriend for her victory." Melody said innocently.

Connor made his paper bag disappear before he took Melody's left foot in his hand and began to press his thumbs on the soles.

"For a moment there. I thought you were gonna ask me to dress as a cheerleader for Halloween or dye my hair blue and salmon." Connor remarked.

"Why would I ask you to do that?" Melody asked with a giggle.

"You'd be shocked to see what kinda bets me and Noctus used to make when we were playing basketball on the PlayStation." Connor remarked as he began to massage her foot.

"Ooh, do tell." Melody said with a smirk as she curled her toes, enjoying the foot massage.

"Fine. It was crap like 'the loser has to eat raw spinach with dinner' or 'the loser has to dye their hair pink' or 'the loser has to kiss his mom or dad in front of the school parking lot'. Sure enough we never did any of those things. We just made it up to add fake tension." Connor admitted.

"Really? Aww, that's a shame. That would have been really funny if you both had to do those things." Melody said with a giggle.

"No, the real shame is doing those things for real. I mean I'd probably survive dying my hair pink and eating spinach. But kissing my dad in front of everyone at school? I'd die of shame faster than swimming while bleeding in a school of great white sharks." Connor expressed.

"Oh come on. It can't be that bad." Melody said.

"Mel. Black kids who grew up like me won't sacrifice our masculinity for anyone. For Jesus or for money, maybe. But not for betting on losing a game." Connor pointed out.

"What about their cute girlfriends?" Melody asked with a cute look.

"Those you can kiss." Connor remarked as he started massaging her other foot. "Having you around would've been a red flag to all the Karens and Biffs with high cholesterol."

"What makes you say that?" Melody asked cutely with a smirk.

"Because in school. A dork with asthma having a hot and attractive girlfriend would be like Charlie with a box of golden tickets instead of one." Connor remarked as he kept massaging her foot. "If I had you around much sooner. My social life back then would've been way above where I was."

"Really? I always thought you would be one of the cool kids." Melody said, a bit confused.

"Naw. Back then I was a reclusive dweeb with asthma issues, Mel. But when I said 'a box full of golden tickets. I was referring to you. With you around I wouldn't have been labeled as a dollar store student." Connor explained what he meant.

Basically if he had Melody around. No one would wanna mess with him because what was weird in Melody's world would've been cool in Connor's world.

"Well, I wish we could have met sooner." Melody said with a loving smile.

Connor sighed with a small smile. "Me too." He nodded as he finished massaging her foot. "Plus my Uncle or the Avengers would've changed things if...Maybe I were there for you earlier."

He wondered how different things would be if he met her sooner.

"If we did meet much earlier, it would have been a fairy tale come true." Melody said with a loving look. "Plus, we would've been able to kiss much sooner."

"Well that depends. What age were you when you first knew what a kiss was? I didn't want my first kiss until I turned seven." Connor admitted.

"That's about the same age for me, when I learned what kissing was." Melody said.

"For a moment there I thought you were gonna say when you were born or something." Connor remarked which made her giggle a bit.

***"Attention luggages- I mean passengers, this is your captain speaking."*** Mini-Mav said over the intercom.

"No it isn't!" Connor yelled out.

***"Attention Passengers. This is your understudy speaking."*** Mini-Mav corrected himself.

"Much better." Connor grinned.

***"Iron your belt buckles and load up your ammo cause we will be arriving in the Old West World in about half an hour."*** Mini-Mav announced.

"And on that note. Follow me." Connor stood up and offered his hand to Melody. "We're gonna need some new threads that are hopefully cactus free."

"Right. Lead the way." Melody said, accepting his hand and began following after him. "So, what should we be expecting in this new world we'll be visiting?"

"It's the old west, Mel. You know gun slinging. Horse riding. Large cactus and drinking. Epic showdowns and small towns with minimal hygiene habits. Ten gallon hats and gunpowder. Shooting. Lots and lots of shooting..." Connor listed and inquired. "You never read about those?"

Given that Melody's world is set somewhere in the early 18th century. The Old West isn't a completely common subject in all European societies. Especially in high rich or royal societies.

"Sorry. I'm not familiar with any of that." Melody said with a sheepish smile.

"It's fine, follow me. And yes you'll need shoes cause it's gonna be mostly desert out in the west, unless you're fine with bunions and calluses on your feet." Connor sternly stated like a concerned boyfriend.

"Not really, no. I know where and when shoes are needed." Melody said.

"Atta girl. FELICITY. Load up some ammo for my ear drum." Connor called out.

'Yes Mr Ramsey.' FELICITY answered as she loaded up a track.


Inside the Fabrication Room...

(Wild Wild West - Kool Moe Dee)

The wild wild west

The wild wild west

The wild wild west

The wild wild west

The wild wild west

The wild wild west

The wild wild west

The wild wild west

Even though Donald's magic could grant them the outfits necessary for blending in the Old West. Connor kept the room up for the purpose of customizing and choosing what design he wanted. While staying in the necessary style.

Plus this room is where he designs new gear. Potions and other equipment needed.

"Alright. Mel. Step up on the platform. You're first." Connor said while he was typing on the terminal.

"Any last words before he kills you with his oven, Master's Mate?" Dug asked as he was panting happily in front of Melody.

Melody giggled at Dug's antics before stepping onto the platform.

"Give me your best shot, Sweetie." Melody said to Connor.

"Alright... Knit one and pour six more...Bang!" Connor launched the uniform shift protocol.

Then a light waved over Melody's attire until she was standing in the new outfit. As a cowgirl.

I used to live downtown 129th street

Convent everything's upbeat

Parties ball in the park

Nothing but girls after dark

We chill nobody gets ill

In the place we call the hill

But if you try 'em

That's when they will

Get wild but they don't fight they kill

At the...

Melody wore a white sleeveless shirt with a gold and white collar. She also wore blue short jean shorts with a brown belt. On her feet were brown western missheel boots. Her hair was in a ponytail and on her head was a white cowgirl hat.

The wild wild west

The wild wild west

The wild wild west

The wild wild west

"Ooh, nice. I love it." Melody said, posing on the platform. "What do you think?"

"Mmmm. There's gold in dim there hills." Connor smirked while he quipped in a western accent. Then gestured her to step down so he could step up on the platform. "Come yonder down her, Young Lady. Daddy needs to express some issues."

"Okay, partner." Melody said, trying to sound western as she stepped down off the platform.

"Naw naw, more sass, Girl. You gotta sound like y'all fricken burned that there damn lobster strings and sound nonchalant like 'Alrighty, Partner!' . Like that." Connor taught Melody how to say it better in his western accent while he stepped up on the platform.

"Alrighty, Partner!" Melody said, doing better with her western accent.

"Gawd that's purdy. My Pappy's chicken fried tears' already marinaden." Connor faked a sob. Before he teleported on the platform. "Lights! Camera! Noooooise!"

Then his outfit shifted into the perfect design for a young cowboy with muscles.

I remember parties out in the park

With the girlies, rubbing up in the dark

I was smooth, until someone pulled a gun

It was over, they spoiled my fun

I was flying, just like a track star

Dying, nah, i ran through the back yard

Trying to get into my building

Thinking, "why in the heck won't somebody kill them?"

One day the fellas got together

They vowed that no one would ever

Come on our block, and terrorize us

The gangs that used to do it, now they idolize us

Guns, we don't like to use them

Unless, our enemies choose them

We prefer to fight you on like a man

And beat you down with our hands and bodyslam you at the...

Connor now wore a khaki shirt with the sleeves rolled up, under a black vest, black pants with a black belt, black boots, and a black cowboy hat.

"Yeee-Haaa." Melody said under her breath at his appearance.

Connor did some poses imitating drawing a gun on both sides before he pulled off some hip hop dance moves.

"As yall can tell. Cowboys and men are two totally different breeds." Connor winked as he moved to the dance like a pro.

The wild wild west

The wild wild west

The wild wild west

The wild wild west

"Yeah, you can say that again." Melody said, liking what she was seeing.

Then Mini-Mav hopped up on the table next to Melody with two plastic water toy guns and a black cowboy hat on as he pointed both at Melody.

"Stick em up, Girly!" Mini-Mav mimicked an outlaw.

Even Mini-Mav was dressed up for it.

"Don't shoot! I surrender!" Melody gasped with a giggle as she held her arms up, playing along while thinking he was adorable.

"Now drop on your knees and empty you're wallet!" Mini-Mav commanded.

"What's a wallet?" Melody asked.

Then Mini-Mav spun his guns and holstered them in his belt. "Dang damn it! Foiled and outdated again!" Mini-Mav humorously ranted as he hopped down from the table.

"I sure as hell wouldn't ask my worst enemy to be related to that pile of hate." Connor remarked about Mini-Mav then Donald walked in. "Speaking of which..."

More of a rage than hate when it comes to Donald. He walked in and gawked at the cowboy attire.

"Hey! I was gonna make you those outfits!" Donald ranted.

***Record scratch!***

The music stops.

"Sorry, Deputy Fowl Play. But the last time I had you stitch me up a garb, I ended up wearin rags while swingin vines in that banana barrel." Connor pointed out in his western accent

He was referring to his jungle attire.

"It's not my fault that world was a jungle!" Donald snapped back. "It's not like you were complaining at the time!"

Connor smirked and bent down on his knee to face Donald.

"Did you enjoy being a toucan?" Connor asked smugly about his bird form.

Donald had to think carefully because in his wild animal form. People kept thinking he was one of Connor's pets.

"No. I did not." Donald sighed as he saw his point.

"Look, Don. This world and I. Are connected. And I don't mean in that mystical fantasy heart to heart kinda way. But more like a child going to Universal Studios for the first time kinda way. Names like Wyatt Earp. Jesse James. Buffalo Bill. Wild Bill Hickok. Calamity Jane. All those big names came from a place like where we're going. So I wanna look my best by picking it for this one." Connor explained carefully and witty-like. "However. I'll let you use your magic instant wardrobe ability for the next world that needs it."

"I guess I can live with that." Donald shrugged and sighed.

"But if it helps. I'll let you dish out the outfits for you and Goofy. Speaking of which, where is he?" Connor inquired.

"Hey Connor?! Which button makes a Latte in the kitchen?! Is it the big red button next to the cookie jar?!" Goofy called from the kitchen.

"No that one automatically sets off all of the Stingray's nuclear missile launchers! Press the big red button nexts to it!" Connor answered.

"Oh! Okay! Ahyuck!" Goofy replied.

What are the chances Goofy would mix the two up and still press the wrong button?

"Uh, Connor? Are you seriously saying that…." Melody asked with a calm but nervous tone.

"You honestly think I'm serious? Everyone knows I keep all weapons switches in the upper deck. That other button is just the garbage disposal." Connor admitted as he stifled a laugh.

"Oh. Whew! That's a relief." Melody said with a relieved sigh, even though Donald was more vocal about it.

"You Jackass! Don't joke about things like that! I honestly thought Goofy was about to blow this upcoming world to Kingdom Come!" Donald snapped heatedly.

"Are you sure you're not one of the missing Angry Birds?" Connor inquired humorously as he tapped his chin while looking at Donald.

"Donald's so angry that Regina from Mean Girls is his sister!" Mini-Mav quipped in the background.

"Go on! Say that again! I dare you, you scrapheap pipsqueak!" Donald snapped back at Mini-Mav.

"And he's so mean, he makes Simon Cowell look like Jesus!" Mini-Mav declared before he ran out the door.

"One more, joke from you, and you'll be nothing but spare parts!" Donald seethed out, ready to explode.

"Wow, he's like a cross between Yosemite Sam and Daffy Duck." Melody muttered jokingly in an amused tone, having been introduced to Looney Tunes. "He's gonna blow."

"And Donald's so short fused that they casted him as the bomb in Speed!" Mini-Mav echoed from outside.

"Hit the deck." Connor muttered as he backed up with Melody.

"WAKWAKWAKKAKAKAKAKA!" Donald exploded, fire shooting from his head as he ran out of the room to go after Mini-Mav. "THAT'S IT! YOU'RE SCRAP METAL!"

A few seconds of awkward silence passed before Connor spoke up.

"Anyway. All we need now is a couple of horses. Maybe three or four of em." Connor pointed out.

"Well, why don't we bring in Sorbo? I'm sure he'd love to tag along. And we'll only have to worry about finding a few more." Melody suggested.

"I don't mind. Also...Doesn't your folks own a couple of horses at your castl-" Connor almost asked but realized and halted. "You know what, I'll stop there. The old west will have plenty of horses. I'll summon the black berry Sorbet- I mean Sorbo and look for more when we land."

"You know it's a wonder why I'm Sorbo's favorite and not you." Melody said teasingly.

"Of course he is. You bought him. That technically makes you his slave." Connor teased back as they were walking out of the room.

"How do you figure that?" Melody asked with a smirk.

"I've been getting messages from your dad that he keeps throwing off anyone who tries to ride him. Even he's not brave enough to risk the Greek Glue's wrath." Connor answered about Sorbo and how dramatically loyal the horse is to Melody.

"That just means he trusts me more than anyone else." Melody said with a shrug.

"Try telling that to the last dude that landed in poison Ivy." Connor snorted about all of the bruised guards that tried to train or ride Sorbo.

"Hey, it's not my fault he prefers me over anyone else. Maybe it's just my charm." Melody said with a cheeky smirk.

Connor was working his way up to alluding to how attached they are as a couple by using the horse as an example to their inseparable bond. But that would have to wait as they were closing in on the vortex.


Back up on the Upper Deck...

Everyone was seated in their seats while Dug was down stairs barking at a squirrel documentary on TV.

****'RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF!'*** They kept hearing loudly down stairs.

"Oooooh..." Donald covered his ears while wincing and groaning in annoyance.

Connor was driving the Stingray straight for the entry into the vortex straight ahead as everyone else braced for another wild ride into the next world. Connor looked over and noticed Donald and Goofy weren't in their cowboy attire yet.

"How come ya'll ain't casted as locals yet?" Connor inquired ina western accent.

"But I just saw a doctor and got rid of that." Goofy answered as he misunderstood what he meant.

Melody giggled at Goofy not understanding what Connor said.

"Goofy, Connor meant why you and Donald haven't changed your outfits to better blend in at the world we're going to." Melody clarified.

"Oooh. Ahyuck! Don't worry. Our uniforms will change as soon as we land. Since Donald has lots of responsibility as the Emperor's personal wizard, some of his magic only works for when it's needed." Goofy explained.

***'RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF!'***Dug kept barking down the stairs.

"Goofy's right. My magic is always prepared for the right moment, and- WOULD YOU STOP BARKING ALREADY?!" Donald snapped at Dug as he kept barking nonstop.

"I won't rest until- SQUIRREL!...I won't rest until the intruder is out!" Dug echoed from down stairs.

"It's a TV Documentary, Bud! Not a intrud-...Ugh. I'm not even gonna try." Connor exhaled as he was driving. "FELICITY. Turn the music back on. and I mean much louder."

'I am sorry. But all power is being redirected to all evasive thrusters.' FELICITY answered.

"Hey, the squirrel intruder is gone!" Dug echoed from downstairs.

'This Vortex will need the auxiliary afterburner to insure the Stingray won't be hurled off course.' IRIS stated.

"What are the chances of the ship getting damaged?" Connor asked as he got his hands on the wheel.

'The probability of the Stingray sustaining too much damage to cause a possible crash while being shifted through the tares in the vortex are 2.796 to 1.' FELICITY answered.

"Ooooh. I didn't know my birthday came early." Connor smirked mischievously as he was speeding the ship towards the vortex.

"Fear not! I found eight possible buyers on Ebay to sell the scrap parts after you all possibly die in the crash!" Mini-Mav declared humorously

"I'm not sure that really makes me feel any better." Melody muttered with a nervous tone.

"Gawrsh! It looks like things are about to get a bit bumpy." Goofy muttered.

"What was your first clue, ya dunderhead!?" Donald snapped.

Just then the Stingray was being sucked in through the waro entry as it began to ride through a straight and unsteady line between realities. The warp was so loud that it caused the walls inside and outside the Stingray to shake. Everyone's seats were shaking.

And the noise sounded like a large horn drum like the Inception theme in a long note.

"KEEP RIDIN IT IN, STINGY! YEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAW!" Connor howled as he was driving like an expert.

"WOOHOO! PRAISE THE LIGHT YA'LL!" Mini-Mav held his hands up as he was enjoying the ride.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKAKAKAKAKAAK!" Donald screamed in terror as his eyes was wide and he was flapping in his seat.

"WOOOPEEEE! I love this ride!* Goofy cheered with his hands in the air.

"Me too! FASTER!" Melody cheered with her own arms waving in the air.

Then as the vortex's path strait ahead was in the pattern of a spiral loop. Heading in a left and right pattern as well. So Connor expertly spun the Stingray into multiple barrel rolls as he followed the paterns perfectly. Even while the ship veered to the left and right while spinning.

So far he was closing in on the bright light ahead. And Mini-Mav began to play the banjo to raise the tension eith suspenseful music.

But pretty soon. The ship came to a sudden halt. As it was now parked a large lake inside of some kind of cave.

'You have arrived.' FELICITY announced.

"Hey the squirrel is back!" Dug echoed from down stairs. ***'RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF!'***

Obviously the TV came back on.

"That was awesome!" Melody cheered.

"Ugh, no it wasn't." Donald groaned, eyes dark and sickly looking with a green face. "Ugh, I think I'm gonna puke."

"Gee, Donald, you don't look so good." Goofy said to the duck.

"Take it easy, Ducky Moo Moo. Just imagine somewhere calm and peaceful. Like...Ocean waves and with a side of sardines and porkchops." Mini-Mav soothed with the wrong words as he was rubbing Donald's back.

"Pipsqueak, if you don't shut up right now, I'm gonna flatten you into a compact disc." Donald groaned out heatedly, trying to calm his stomach.

"Here. Take this, Don. It's my Mom's Antacid potion with Walek seaweed." Connor handed Donald a tube of a medical potion that will make his stomach feel better.

"Thanks." Donald said before drinking the potion, immediately feeling better as he let out a sigh of relief. "Ah, much better."

Connor looked out of the window and noticed the shade and mineral excess from the structural rocks inside the cave. He could see it even under water.

"Alrighty. Judging by the interior of this cave. I'd say we're either in the Bryce Canyon of Utah or thr Palo Duro Canyon in Texas. Either way we better mosey along. It's burnin daylight." Connor announced as he walked down stairs towards the exit of the Stingray.

"You heard him. Let's head out." Melody said enthusiastically as she followed behind Connor.

"Okay." Donald said, trying to sound enthusiastic. "Come on Goofy."

"Right, let's hit the trail!" Goofy said enthusiastically as he and Donald followed behind the power couple.

"First snake I see is gonna be our feast." Mini-Mav declared.

"You can't or know how to eat, Mini-Me." Connor deadpanned.

After that. Everyone walked outside to take in the new atmosphere of the western world they have landed in.

Also Connor started a track from his ring to play as the team stepped out. And he made sure the Stingray hovered a bit to the top so they could climb out through the main hatch.


Inside the cave of the River Snake Canyon...

Once Connor opened the top hatch of the submerging ship. He helped Melody to step out and he formed a small neon ramp for her to walk across the water. And then Mini-Mav and Dug came out. And by the time Donald and Goofy came out. They were already now wearing a different outfit at that moment.

Because Donald's magic started the moment they were stepping out.

Once they walked across the neon ramp and stood into the cave. Connor and Melody looked around to see the illuminated stalagmites on the roof of the cave. Before they noticed Donald and Goofy's new cowboy outfits.

"Damn, Ya'll. That was fast." Connor grinned as he gestured their new looks.

Donald now wore a silver grey shirt, a brown belt, brown boots, a spotted red handkerchief, brown gloves, a gold badge, and a brown cowboy hat.

Goofy now wore a blue long sleeve shirt, light blue pants, light brown shoes, a cowboy hat, and a handkerchief.

"Oh boy! We're cowboys!" Donald exclaimed excitedly.

"Yippee Ki Yay, Mama! A-hyuck!" Goofy exclaimed with a laugh.

"Don't say that again." Connor muttered as he turned and saw the way out. "This way."

Connor and the others walked over to the light ahead which looked like the exit way of the cave. He walked ahead to see if it was safe from any possible threats in the old west. But by the time he made it to the edge of the exit. He halted and held his hand out.

"Woah woah woah! Halt!" Connor warned them.

"What?" Melody said as she was startled."What's wrong?"

"We're on the wrong floor." Mini-Mav said as he pointed down from the edge of the cave exit.

The team slowly came over and looked over to edge to see how long of a drop it was from here to the bottom. They looked down to see that the cave was on the side of a mountain. All the way from the top. And if they came out all together. They all would've fallen.

"Sh-...Phooey!" Donald groaned in frustration.

"Woah, that's a long way down, ain't it?" Goofy commented, looking down towards the bottom.

"How are we gonna get down there without killing ourselves?" Melody asked.

"Guys I'm the mo-fo Maverick. I got ways to head down. The question is..." Connor said as he looked out.

Immediately he recognized the canyon structure and the river down below. Considering that they're way high off the ground with a cave connected to the source of water in the area.

"I know where we are. This is Horseshoe Bend. The east rim of the Grand Canyon." Connor realized. "My dad took me here when I was like five in my world."

"Oh, that's good. At least you know where we are." Melody said with a sigh. "But what's the Grand Canyon?"

'The Grand Canyon is one of the seven wonders of the world. It is a natural formation distinguished by layered bands of red rock, revealing millions of years of geological history in cross-section. Vast in scale, the canyon averages 10 miles across and a mile deep along its 277-mile length. Much of the area is a national park, with Colorado River white-water rapids and sweeping vistas.' FELICITY answered for Connor.

"Gawrsh I went once on a road trip with my son." Goofy smiled as he remembered.

"Oh yeah. I remember you telling the Emperor and I about that. Didn't you almost plummet to your death and Max had to save you using a fishing rod?" Donald asked.

"Yep. It was when he had to use everything I taught him." Goofy said, tearing up at the memory. "And he did the perfect cast."

"Tombstone had the 'perfect cast'!" Mini-Mav quipped a pun.

"Damn straight. Also here. Take these canteens." Connor handed the team each some green leather canteens with a sea shell logo on each.

"Thanks, Connor." Melody said, accepting her canteen. "I take it these are already filled with water?"

"If it wasn't a few seconds ago. It is now. These magic canteens will refill every few seconds after their empty. And trust me in Arizona, the hottest desert in the states, you'll need it frequently. Don't forget to splash some in your face every now and then." Connor said out of caution.

"Wow. That's amazing." Melody said in awe.

"Oh boy! That means we don't have to worry about remembering to refill these." Donald said happily.

"Yep. And it also means we won't go thirsty." Goofy said.

"Now as for the way down." Connor remarked as he held his hand out.

Melody. Donald. Goofy and Mini-Mav all held hands with Connor while Dug touched his paw on Mini-Mav. Then they all teleported down towards the river.


Down on the Colorado River...

The entire team suddenly appeared near the river banks due to Connor's teleportation ability. The weather was up to 95°F, as their skin could feel how hot it was. But some of the trees near the river provide some temporary shade for them.

"The Stingray should be safe up in the cave for now. Worst sincario we can beam back there once we're done here or if these go south." Connor stated as he looked up at the cave entrance way up in the mountain.

"I thought this was the West." Goofy scratched his head looking confused.

"Whatever." Connor deadpanned. "FELICITY. Send in our mutual Greek Super Glue from back home. Her home to be specific.

Melody's home he means. It's a good thing that a tracker was placed on Sorbo's saddle. Along with a direct link to the space bridge. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to do this.

"So, should we summon Sorbo now?" Melody asked.

'Summoning Sorbo.' FELICITY stated.

Connor had already given FELICITY the command to beam Sorbo here from the stables back home at Melody's castle. As the horse suddenly appeared in a beam of light and he roared back as he was startled by the effects.

"REEEEEEIGH!" Sorbo reared back in alarment.

"Sorbo, wait! It's okay! It's me." Melody called out to Sorbo, getting his attention, trying to calm him down. "It's okay."

Sorbo huffed as he was worked up but Melody's soothing voice began to calm him down. Especially since he recognized his little owner.

"That's it, boy. It's okay." Melody smiled soothingly, reaching up to pet his face. "It's so good to see you again, boy."

Sorbo huffed and whinnied a bit as he nuzzled against Melody's face making her giggle.

"Well we got one. But we still need a couple more horses." Donald figured.

"Hey look. There's one." Goofy pointed over.

The team looked over to see a pure bread Camarillo White Horse. A female one that was drinking peacefully from the river. Connor figured since this horse didn't have a saddle. They would have to be careful when approaching the horse. He even halted Dug from running over to greet it as the dog looked up in confusion.

And Connor pulled an apple out of his sack.

"Mel. See if you can win her over. And take your hat off. We don't want her to think you're a wrestler." Connor advised as he handed Melody the apple for the white horse.

"On it." Melody said, taking off her hat as she slowly walked over to the horse by the Riverside. "Hey, girl, would you like an apple?"

The white horse neighed a bit as she was surprised to see Melody at first. But from Melody's gorgeous smile and soothing voice. And how she held the apple out from her hand. The horse could sense that Melody wasn't a threat. So the horse slowly came over and sniffed Melody's apple before she opened her jaw, took it and ate it. The horse whinnied softly as it liked the apple.

"Oh, that's a good girl." Melody cooed as she slowly moved her hand out to pet her face. "Oh, you are so beautiful."

The horse breathed and shook a little bit to show that she liked Melody's soft touch. And she leaned into her hand. Connor and the others slowly came over as Connor gently patted the back of her neck and grinned.

"This is one of the most pure breds on the planet. A Camarillo. Since I named the last one. What are you gonna name this lady?" Connor asked as the horse liked his touch as well.

"Hmmm..." Melody said in thought. "How about Pegasus? Because her main is as white as one."

"Yeaah no. I don't want anyone to think I stole and maimed Hercules' horse." Connor declined.

The horse snorted in response. As if maybe it was agreeing.

"Okay, then how about..." Melody said, trying to think of another name. "How about White Lightning? Since her Maine is white, she looks pretty fast."

Just then the white horse noticed some of the white flowers Sorbo was sniffing. And huffed as she went over to sniffle as well. Then the horse began to eat one of the white flowers.

These type of flowers were called the white Camelia.

"White Camellias? And to think I got an A for saying they only grow up near Ohio." Connor remarked.

"Camelias?" Melody muttered before she came up with an idea. "Wait, I got it. How about I call you Camelia?"

The white horse looked up at Melody while chewing on the flower in her mouth. As if to mean she agrees.

"Okay. Camelia it is." Melody smiled as she stroked the back of the horse's head.

Camelia the white horse leaned into Melody's touch at this. Now she owns two different well bred horses. Her dad's royal stable manager is probably gonna be jealous.

"Oh boy! Two new playmates to rule over! I haven't been this happy since having breakfast this morning!" Dug panted as he jumped a bit joyfully.

"Well that's two down. But Goofy and I will still need something to ride on." Donald pointed out that they're still two horses short.

"Gotcha covered, Mystic Aflac." Connor remarked as he twirled his fingers out.

With the power of his neon magic. Connor constructed a dark green horse drawn carriage with two driving seats in front. And the passenger seats were enough for four to sit in. With perfect shade under the roof. And with cup holders.

"Oh boy!" Donald exclaimed excitedly.

"You said it!" Goofy beamed with a nod.

"I call shotgun!" Mini-Mav almost ran over.

But Connor picked him up from the behind of his back handles.

"Over your dead batteries." Connor snorted as he teleported him into the carriage.

"Suzy Selfish!" Mini-Mav echoed inside from one of the passengers' seats.

"Here. Help me mount em up." Connor said as he took Sorbo's horse reins and led him over.

"Right. Come on, Camelia." Melody said, leading Camelia over to the Horse Drawn Carriage.

Once Connor and Melody hooked the two horses up together. Connor climbed up on the driver's seat behind Sorbo on the left while Melody got up on the right seat behind Camelia.

Donald. Dug and Goofy got into the carriage with Mini-Mav inside. Then Connor began to play a track from his Mav Ring for some atmosphere as he snapped the reins and got the two horses to gallop at a fast but steady pace as they rode out of the canyon.

(Old Town Road -Lil Nas X)

Yeah, I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road

I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more

I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road

I'm gonna ride (Kio, Kio) 'til I can't no more

I got the horses in the back

Horse tack is attached

Hat is matte black

Got the boots that's black to match

Riding on a horse, ha

You can whip your Porsche

I been in the valley

You ain't been up off the porch, now

Can't nobody tell me nothing

You can't tell me nothing

Can't nobody tell me nothing

You can't tell me nothing

Connor received a message on where to meet Cor Leonis and the others in this world. And that's where he was heading.


Two hours on the road...

After passing the Colorado River heading west on the Less Ferry road. Passing the Paria River and on the road toward Marble Canyon. There will more than likely be a small settlement for travelers to pass through. That's where Cor Leonis told Connor to meet them.

After a while when some of Connor's western tracks finished up. Mini-Mav offered to improvise with the tunes. Which they didn't have a problem with...Until he started. And Connor decided to play along. Luckily it wasn't driving Melody nuts because she thought it was hilarious.

"Move em on~" Connor chanted.

"Head em up!~" Mini-Mav chanted.

"Move em on~" Connor chanted.

"Head em up!~" Mini-Mav chanted.

"Move em on~" Connor chanted.

"Head em up!~" Mini-Mav chanted.

"Move em on~" Connor chanted.

"Head em up!~" Mini-Mav chanted.

"Rawhide~ Cut em out~" Connor chanted sounding like the singers.

"Ride em in!~" Mini-Mav chanted.

"Cut em out~" Connor chanted.

"Ride em in!~" Mini-Mav chanted.

"Cut em out~" Connor chanted.

"Ride em in!~" Mini-Mav chanted.

"Cut em out~" Connor chanted.

"Is that really all you're gonna sing!?" Donald snapped, having lost his patients. "At least mix it up here and there!"

"Move 'em on, Rawhide!~" Mini-Mav started

"Knock 'em out!~" Connor chanted.

"Pound dead!~" Mini-Mav chanted.

"Make 'em tea!~" Connor chanted.

"Buy 'em drinks!~" Mini-Mav chanted.

"Meet their mommas!~" Connor chanted. then added the finale with humorous enthusiasm as he echoed "Milk 'em hard, RAWHIDE!~ YEE-HAW!"

That last Yee-haw echoed.

"Oh brother..." Donald groaned as he facepalmed himself.

"Ahyuck! Music comes straight from the soul." Goofy remarked.

Melody struggled not to laugh at her boyfriend's antics.

"You two and your rawhides." Melody giggled.

"Can ya'll blame us? We're out! No longer hunched up in a large bedroom or a war camp base underwater. Now I'm literally standing in the set of channel 538! And more than likely to hear folks screaming GOOOOLD! Or gunshots." Connor remarked and shrugged.

"Well let's just hope it's more gold than gunshots." Melody said humorously.

"Ha! You don't know this place like I do. It's like expecting legit lottery tickets on the grocer shelves than soup." Connor quipped.

Then they heard a loud noise from the distance at Marble Canyon straight ahead.

***explosion!***

Then they saw a small mushroom cloud coming from down there.

"What was that?!" Donald exclaimed.

"TNT most likely." Connor figured as he had a skeptical look.

"You think we should check it out, in case there's trouble?" Melody asked.

"We ain't no charity, Ma'am." Mini-Mav stated than spazzed out. "BUT WE LIVE FOR THIS SHIT!"

"***k yeah! FLOOR IT!" Connor beamed to the horses.

Sorbo and Camelia looked confused by the contemporary reference. And Connor sighed.

"Onward and upward." Connor deadpanned as he snapped the reins.

Then the horses took off towards the hill of Marble Canyon. Judging by the second explosion that went off and the sound of multiple axe picks slamming into rocks. Connor could even tell by the sound of some men shouting in another language. This wasn't just some old western nine to five job he was hearing.


Down over to Marble Canyon...

The team came up over to the corner of an exposed hole from behind a canyon wall. And they got off the carriage and peaked over to see what was happening.

They saw an entire mining camp of Men in Mexican army uniforms. And they were patrolling around with repeaters and rifles. Guarding an entire dig sight that spans a mile or two near a train yard. The entire sight was cover in sand and dirt. From all of the digging and exploding that was going on.

But that's not what looked horrible. What looked horrible was seeing a lot of Hispanic looking men. Young and old with chains around their ankles. And using ax picks and hammers to dig around the sight and smashing open rocks. While some Mexican muscular foreman with a whip and gun was shouting at them.

"QUITA TU CULO Y MUÉVELO!" The forman yelled as he cracked his whip at an elderly worker who struggled to carry a barrel full of white minerals.

Not only that. But the team also saw women and children being kept in cages near the stockades on the other end of the camp. But right near the stockades was a group of three drunk Mexican troops who were busy harassing and taunting some Hispanic woman who was in her mid twenties. In a white dirty nightgown and barefoot. Her arms were tied behind her back with her back against a pole as the men were teasing her and taunting her while she was sobbing in fear of these men molesting her.

This area was meant to be a post for interrogating prisoners. But apparently these men had other things in mind.

"Jesus..." Connor whispered in disgust seeing how these people were being treated. "This is why Title 42 was needed."

"Those sick monsters..." Melody growled angrily at the slave labor and cruelty towards all the men, women, and children. "How dare they do this to these poor people?"

"I say we take them there rattlesnakes and throttle em." Mini-Mav sneered in a western tone, wanting to kick their asses.

Connor exhaled as he was ready to take action. Any action. But he remembered his Uncle's training. To rush into an open fight is to insure defeat. You may win the fight, but with the cost of others in the crossfire.

"Alright. We gotta be smart about this. Donald. Goofy. Find a way down to the cages without being seen and be ready to set the women and children free." Connor started the plan.

"Yes, Sir." Goofy said with a serious tone, giving a tip of his hat.

"You can count on us." Donald said with his own serious tone, ready to help save those people.

"Mini-Mav, I'll need you to create a distraction. But not out in the open. Head for that storage house and see what you can do to draw some of the men away." Connor instructed as he pointed over at the barn house over by the pillars which is where they were storing their supplies.

"I obey, oh creator!" Mini-Mav beamed dramatically before he jumped off towards the storage house to cause his own breed of chaos.

"Mel. We're gonna have to make our way to the woman before these wasted perv pukes does anything ***ked up to her. Let's armor up while staying in style." Connor declared to his girlfriend.

"You got it." Melody said sternly before she and Connor shifted into Tsunami and Maverick. "Let's wash away those sick freaks.

Just then, she realized that both her suit and Maverick's now had a western theme.

Maverick now had on a red shirt over a blue vest, a blue belt with a gold star, blue chaps and red boots, and a dark blue cowboy hat.

Tsunami now had a white shirt underneath a short blue jacket with gold highlights, white tight pants, gold knee high boots, and a white cowgirl hat, and a belt around her waist.

In essence, western clothes over their armor.

Maverick and Tsunami shrugged as they actually like their outfits. Before they both jumped down and landed near a post. Before they saw two guards looking out at the work. With their backs to them. Maverick hand signaled for Tsunami to take the one on the left which she understood. Then Maverick teleported to backhand the back of the first guard's head while Tsunami formed a water orb around the guard on the right to make him nearly drown before she pulled him down and knocked him out. Before the water orb faded.

Then Maverick proceeded to the ten guards straight ahead as he and Tsunami performed multi-take downs. Taking out five guards each but quietly as Maverick teleported in high speed to either punch. Kick or gas a guard out to the ground. While Tsunami would step and leap over the guards heads to form water orbs to not them out.

Needless to say. They were doing a good job as they were closing in on the woman that was being harassed.


Meanwhile at the storage house. Mini-Mav landed on the roof and opened the hatch before landing on the wooden support beam from the roof.

He looked down to see a man in a black Spaniard navy leather attire. Tied to a chair with a bag over his head. As two guards were yelling in Spanish and hitting him with one of their pistols.

"Vamos, desperdicio de carne de culo! ¡Dinos dónde están el resto de tus hombres! ¡No nos hagas quitarte un dedo! ¡O un diente!" The guard shouted before he smacked the prisoner in the face again.

"Eh. Someone's gonna be sore in a week." Mini-Mav winced quietly at the sight.

***Whistle***

The men stood down as they heard a Whistle from their leader. Or rather their commanding officer.

The man had black hair with a receding hairline, a mustache, wore a white shirt over a blue vest, black pants and boots, and a belt with a pistol holster.

This man was Colonel Juan Moreno.

"¿Ya ha dicho algo?" Juan asked in Spanish, saying '*Has he said anything yet?*'.

"Todavía nada, señor. No hicimos daño como usted pidió. Pero todavía no cooperará." One of them answered.

Which translated to 'Still nothing, Sir. We did no damage like you asked. But he still won't cooperate.'

The Colonel hummed as he lit a cigarette and huffed out some smoke. Then he slowly walked over and knelt down.

And he decided to speak in English.

"You and I both know. We want the same thing. To bring back the days of glory to all of Spain. These traitors that you call people. They are in support of old Uncle Sam who wants nothing but to own the world and spread corruption all in the name of freedom. But you know better than most. But our Ancestors know better than most. Freedom is a disguise for chaos and methodology. That would only benefit those who stand above us. But if we all stand together. And take them down before they take us down. We will unlock a brilliant new beginning for our people." Juan said calmly to the prisoner. "Only tell us where your men are, and those laboring people down there. I'll cast off their chains if they swear to disregard their pledge of allegiance to the flag of America. And repent."

The prisoner didn't respond. Still. As if the silence was showing that he disagrees with his methods.

Juan sighed as he stood up. Straight. And nodded to his guards.

"hazlo sufrir." Juan ordered before he walked out and went to his horse.

Those words mean. *'Make him suffer'*

And by the time the Colonel rode off on his horse.

The two guards chuckled as they pulled out some pocket knives and slowly approached the prisoner.

But two things they were aware off. One. The Prisoner had a small sharp metal clip he was using to cut the ropes off slowly from his wrists that were bound behind the chair. Which was just about done. And two. Mini-Mav landed and shot out his taser fingers at the guards.

***Shock!***

"GEGEHEHEGEGEGEGEGEGEGEGGEGE!" The two guards shrieked and jittered before they collapsed on the ground and were out cold.

"No need to thank me. Just watch where you step on the way out. Cause that smell doesn't belong to..." Mini-Mav froze mid sentence as he saw the ropes get cut off. And the hostage stood up with his black cape drawn out. Then the man turned and toss the bag awau before he took his rapier sword and spun it expertly before he used the tip to toss his black hat, or a sombrero cordobés as they call it. And his mask. He swiftly placed it on and exhaled.

"Ah...Much better." The man said before he turned. And Mini-Mav gawked in awe and total shock in suprise.

This was the Legendary Spanish masked vigilante of the west.

Alejandro De la Vega. AKA...

ZORRO!

"I think I just leaked a little oil." Mini-Mav squeaked as his eye twitched.

"Well, aren't you an interesting... Thing." Zorro muttered with an eyebrow raised before giving his thanks. "Muchas, gracias mi amiguito. You have my gratitude for helping me against these bastardos."

"No thanks necessary Antonio- I mean a...Mr Z. Ugh, pull yourself together you glorified lava lamp!" Mini-Mav hissed to himself and slapped himself in the face before he cleared his throat.

Zorro gave him a weird look.

"Achem. My crew and I are here to rescue all of the prisoners with fixed incomes. We could use your help, but we've got it covered mostly." Mini-Mav said while looking up at Zorro.

"I'm glad that help has arrived for these people. But I'm afraid I may not be able to help." Zorro said regrettably to Mini-Mav before explaining. "I must stop the train from leaving. The Latino Rogues cannot be allowed to escape with the cargo."

"Than tally forth, Hispanic Errol Flynn! I must remain to bring a heated distraction!" Mini-Mav declared humorously elegant as he pointed outside. "Seriously you better run because it's about to get extremely hot in here and I mean waaaay above Arizona standards. Oh! And take this! Plug into the front engine of the train and it will stop the whole train completely."

Mini-Mav tossed Zorro a EMP emitter. He wasn't sure what it does but he figured it was some kind of bomb.

"You have my thanks once more." Zorro said before whistling, signaling for his black horse Tornado, to run up to him, allowing him to climb up onto his back. "I wish you and your friends luck. I'm off. Hya!"

With that, Zorro rode off, determined to stop that train.

Mini-Mav saluted Zorro before he pulled out some sticks of metal explosive and snickered mischievously as he tiptoed humorously to a pile of hay.


Meanwhile outside. The woman prisoner was still sobbing as one of the drunk guards was starting to sober up. And get turned on by her predicament.

So the guard chuckled in darkness as he came over and grabbed her nightgown and tore off the front revealing her bra and underwear. Making her release a bloody scream.

"AAAAAHHHHH!" The woman screamed as he was about to violate her.

But then. Several woosh noises her heard after a few pump noises. And a then.

***Prick!***

The man's face twitched as well as the other guards. And they fell on the ground. With darts in their bottoms that were each labeled *'Pig Tranquilizers'*.

The woman looked surprised as Maverick and Tsunami came from the air and landed in front of her.

"Shhhhh..." Maverick signaled her to stay quiet

"it's gonna be alright. We're here to help." Tsunami said softly while undoing her bonds before Maverick handed the woman a blanket to cover herself. "Can you walk?"

"Y-Yes." The woman stammered in a hoarse voice as she covered herself with a grip on her cover.

"Follow me." Tsunami whispered as she lead the woman down a ramp where all of the guards were knocked down.

She was leading the woman over to the cage where Donald and Goofy were already working on setting them free.

"Mini-Me, what's your status?" Maverick called in on the comms.

*"I'm about to blow some minimum wage groceries on all them assholes!"* Mini-Mav said over the comms. *"Oh, and Padrè, you won't believe it, but I just became friends with the savior of 90s Hollywood action films!"*

This was going on as the train was already leaving. As it began to pick up speed.

"Meaning?" Maverick inquired what Mini-Mav was talking about.

Then they saw most of the troups screaming and running as they were shooting at someone on the other end of the storage house. Maverick looked over.

And he saw none other than Zorro riding off on his horse. Chasing after the train.

Maverick's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates as he saw Zorro.

"Only shit launcher with extra cheese." Maverick croaked out.

Than suddenly...

***BOOOM!***

An explosion went off around the storage house as the roof began to smoke and burn after the mushroom. All of the troops around the field yelled and ran to stop the fire.

But the foreman remained as he cracked his whip at an old man who screamed in pain.

"GAAAH!" The elderly prisoner cried out and collapsed.

"Asqueroso perro traidor! Levántate!" The foreman yelled as he was about to snap his whip again.

But then the foreman felt a tap on his shoulder as he turned around. And then...

***PUNCH!***

It was Maverick who punched the foreman so hard, he went flying and crashing into some barrels.

All of the prisoners stopped what they were doing. As Maverick casted a healing spell over the elderly prisoners back to cause the whip lashes to fade. And he waved his hand to use his neon powers to pop the chains off all of their ankles.

"Puedes pararte?" Maverick asked the old man if he could stand while he helped him up.

"Sí, puedo. Muchas gracias por salvarnos a todos." The old man said in thanks, eyes filled with wonder. "¿Eres el Llanero Solitario?"

Translation: Yes, I can. Thank you so much for saving us. Are you the Lone Ranger?

Maverick's eyes widened yet again hearing that name. He's in this world too?!

Meanwhile Donald and Goofy managed to break open the locks on all the cages. Using their weapons. Goofy's shield had a sheriff's badge emblem on the front while Donald's wizard staff had a cowboy hat instead of a sorcerer hat.

But it was effective as Donald used it to bust open the last cage.

"Come on out!" Donald called out to the prisoners. "It's okay. We're here to save you."

All the prisoners glanced at each other, confused, not understanding what Donald said.

"He said come on out. It's okay. We're here to save you." Goofy repeated what Donald said.

At first they were scared and rather skeptical until Tsunami came over with the woman they saved earlier. The one that was almost assaulted.

And a six year old Hispanic girl in the cage lit up and ran over to her.

"Mama! Mama!" The little girl cried out as the woman cried happily as she bent down embraced her daughter as she held her close. Then a Hispanic man in a Sheriff's uniform came over and embraced the woman and little girl. It wae obvious that this was the woman's husband and daughter.

"I'm glad you three were able to find each other." Tsunami said to the family. "But I have to ask, what happened? How did you and all these other people end up being taken captive?"

The husband looked at Tsunami while holding his wife and daughter close.

"Before I answer. Who are you?" He asked out of caution.

"I'm Tsunami. And this is my team." Tsunami said while gesturing to the other Guardians. "And you don't have to worry about compensation for our aid. We just wish to understand what happened."

The man looked at his wife and nodded. He figured it was okay. After all these people saved his wife from being raped by these evil men.

"I am Javier Rivera. This is my wife, Sara and my Daughter, Bianca. I was the Sheriff of New Madrid. A small town that used to be just a days ride towards the east from here." The man answered.

"What happened?" Goofy asked out of concern.

"Juan Moreno happened. He's the leader of a Mexican group of troops called the Latino Rogue. A week ago. We refused to spit on the American flag. Especially to pay them for protection. All you see here was the result." Javier answered.

"He had you all kidnapped and turned you into slaves, just because he didn't get his way?" Tsunami said with a slight growl, her anger spiking at what she was hearing.

"He resents the United States of America. And wants all connections between our home land and theirs to be severed. The Mexican army didn't agree to his terms so he was court martialed. Now he is a Rogue terrorist who defiles the very name of our people." Javier expressed.

"His so-called goals for the glory of Spain is nothing but the works of Satan himself." Sara hissed. "Juan had his men force all our men into labor to get us to submit. He couldn't break my husband, so they tried to convince him by..."

Sara stiffle a a sob as a tear rolled down her cheek. It was clear. They were gonna rape the Sheriff Javier's wife to get him to submit.

"That cold-hearted monster..." Tsunami seethed, really wishing to punch this monster in the face. "I promise you, he's not going to get away with this."

"Hey, uh, I got a question." Goofy said, getting everyone's attention. "What exactly were you all being forced to dig for?"

"We're not sure. We were being forced to dig for these strange purple orbs. And they loaded their train filled with these." Javier handed Tsunami a small purple rock.

"Well, I don't know what these are, but I'm sure our leader might have an idea." Tsunami said, an uneasy feeling about the purple orbs. "Do you guys have anywhere you can go?"

"I'm afraid not. They burned our village down." Sara revealed sadly.

"We can help with that." They heard Gladiolus' voice say from the left end.

Tsunami, Donald and Goofy looked over and were surprised and glad to see Gladiolus walk up to them. Wearing a pair of blue jeans. Brown boots. An open brown vest with a black tank top and a black cowboy hat.

"Gladiolus?! You're here!" Tsunami said as she was happy to see the man.

"It's good to see you here." Goofy smiled at him.

"Yeah, right after we did all the work." Donald said in a snarky tone.

"Sorry, but this wasn't the only dig sight with Hispanic US citizens being held captive. And you can't be in five places at once." Gladiolus informed and responded to Donald.

"You mean there are others?" Tsunami gawked.

"I'm afraid we aren't the only ones being opressed by the Latino Rogue. They've done this to other small towns like ours." Javier stated in dismay.

"We took care of that. We brought them all to a refuge town we're we've set up camp. This was the last dig sight we needed to take care of." Gladiolus stated.

"In that case, these people need to be taken to this refuge town you mentioned and taken care of." Tsunami said before she looked seriously. "While you and your group are doing that, we'll deal with this Rogue group."

"Is this everyone?" Gladiolus asked.

"Nope!" They heard Maverick say as he brought a bunch of other workers over from the dig sight. Including the old man he was carrying in his arms bridal style.

Tsunami smiled warmly to see how her boyfriend was caring for them.

"Here's the last load. Careful this package is delicate." Maverick gestured to the group and the old man as he placed him down to stand.

"Don't worry, man. These people are in good hands." Gladiolus said to Maverick before addressing the people in Spanish. "Atención, damas y caballeros. Por favor, mantenga la calma. Hay una caravana que llegará pronto para llevarnos al pueblo de refugiados."

Translation: 'Attention, ladies and gentlemen. Please remain calm. There is a caravan that will be arriving soon to take us to the refugee town.

The group of freed captives and workers all chattered all together in relief and gratitude as they kept coming over thanking everyone. Even Mini-Mav came over after dealing with the rest of the Rogue Troops and stood with the team.

"That's not all. You're not gonna believe who exists in this world?" Maverick said as he was feeling pumped up.

"Yeah. We know." Gladiolus smirked.

"Wait you know?!" Maverick gawked.

"Know what?" Tsunami asked, looking confused. "Who are you guys talking about?"

Since Melody wasn't familiar with Zorro or the Lone Ranger. It would take some more info fornher to understand why her boyfriend was so excited. So Maverick calmed himself and took the time to explain who was here and who was at this moment trying to stop the train.


Meanwhile on the outskirts of the railroad tracks...

Somewhere on top of a hill with a ramp slope going down towards the field of the train tracks. Stood a true born American from Texas. A former Texas Ranger with a mask.

On top of his trusty white horse, Silver.

This man is a tall white man with brown hair. Dressed in black with a matching jacket, which has a Texas Ranger badge on it, and a black blouse underneath. He wears black trousers with a brown belt. He wears white shoes and a white cowboy hat. He wears a bandanna around his neck and his most recognizable feature is his black mask in front of his eyes.

This is John Reid. AKA The Lone Ranger.

And his Sidekick. A tanned Comanche of average height. He has long black hair that reaches over his chest. He has white face paint with several black stripes vertically down from his eyes. He wears a headband with a black crow on it. He wears brown Indian pants, shoes, and several gadgets on his belt, including a little bag.

Tonto.

John was looking out of his binoculars to spot where the train was heading. While Tonto took some bird feed out of his bag as always puts it the peak the crow that remains still on his head as always.

As if he was trying to feed it.

John placed the binoculars down and sighed.

"It's always gotta be a train." John remarked how they're always stopping bad guys on trains.

"Doesn't have to be, Kemosabe. It just is." Tonto said to him.

"Alright well our contact in Flagstaff is countin on us to bring that big boy down. We'll figure out what to do with their base later." John replied as he looked through and saw the train passing by a certain point for them to run.

They knew not to go immediately to otherwise risk the element of suprise.

"You sure I can't convince you to take some extra ammo just in case?" John asked ad Tonto was chest his white pistol which had only twelve bullets in the barrel.

"I thought I told you before, extra ammo is for stupid privileged men who lack confidence in their aim." Tonto replied back, looking over his weapon.

"And I told you before, thanks. Those words me a lot." John smirked over at him as he kept his guns loaded.

Then John noticed that the train was just seconds away from the mark. And it was time to ride off.

"Alright! Time to ride!" John declared.

"Don't say it." Tonto said.

Then he reared back as his horse neighed.

"HI HO SILVER! AWAAAY!" The Lone Ranger declared as he began to ride off after the train.

"He said it." Tonto added with an annoyed look as he took off on his pinto horse named Scout.

(The William Tell Overture - Han Zimmer version)

The Lone Ranger and Tonto rode across the valley at high speed like the wind together. Ready to stop a train full of dangerous materials to be delivered into the hands of the enemy. They have faced many odds since they met. And they're in for an even odder set of adversaries. And even more odder allies to meet soon.

As they rode at high speed together. They came up on the side of the eighth car of the train. With three more behind it. The Lone Ranger signaled Tonto to ride back which he nodded while John went up and stood steadily on silver to jump onto the car.

Fortunately. Zorro had the same idea as he landed inside from the other door just like the Lone Ranger did. And they both gasped in surprise seeing each other and they glared.

"Who are you?! What are you doing here?!" They both asked at the same time! And they both added "I'm here to stop the train! No, that's what I'm here for! NOT YOU! ME!"

Then they heard yelling from the cargo car ahead as six rogue troops were coming.

"Intrusos! ¡Mátalos!" One of the troops was yelling in Spanish which meant 'Intruders! Kill them!'

Lone Ranger and Zorro glared at each other before they drew their weapons. John's two pistols and Alejandro's sword.

"FINE!" They both yelled as they charged into action.

Then the Lone Ranger began to shoot at the troops while Zorro was slashing his weapons at the ones that were coming with knives and machetes. Needless to say the troops were dropping down one by one as the Lone Ranger was blasting them while not missing a shot. And Zorro was expertly slashing and killing the troops that came at them.

They both kept using the cargo boxes and corners to use for cover. As John shot down a troop with a rifle from ten meters away. And Zorro jumped and flipped over a brute troop before he impaled him from behind and quickly spun to slash at the throat of the brute that came out.

As for the next brute that came out of the car ahead. He was about to use a shotgun on them. A big shotgun which startled both Zorro and Lone Ranger.

But Tonto came in from behind and swung his hatchet into the guy's head. Killing the brute as he fell off the train. Tonto looked over and saw Lone Ranger standing next to Zorro.

"If you need replacement, you should ask first!" Tonto said loudly over the noise of the train driving as the Whistle blew smoke and steam out of the engine.

"I didn't... That is not what's going on right now!" The Lone Ranger exclaimed before pointing at Zorro. "This guy's a stowaway!"

"Well, isn't that the Maceta calling the Pava negra!?" Zorro exclaimed back.

The Lone Ranger gave him a weirded out scowl. "What?!" He inquired.

"Save wrestling match for sundown, Kemosabe! We must stop the train now!" Tonto yelled as more troops were coming in.

The Lone Ranger and Zorro glared at each other one more time before all three of them ran as Tonto was shooting at the five of the troops straight ahead. Luckily he didn't miss one.

Lone Ranger was having a little trouble with the troops with hand weapons since he got his hands full with the shooters. But Luckily Zorro was taking care of them with his sword. At some point Tonto spun and kicked a troop's face and Zorro slammed his boot into the guy's chest, causing him to crash out of the window. They kept up their routine and worked together from each cart to the next.

In spite of their differences or lack of gaining respect for each other. The Lone Ranger and Zorro were putting up a good fight. At one point in the third car which had no roof. Zorro spotted four brutes. And he ran up from a box and used his trusty whip to latch on to an exposed railing and he swung over to air slash the brute at the back

while Tonto shot one in front with secession in the head. Lone Ranger shot the next one in the chest but didn't count for the bullet proof vest as the guy chuckled.

Zorro tried slashing at the third Brute. But his arm Braces blocked his sword. As the last two brutes were looking smugly. Zorro spotted a barrel of oil as he quickly slashed it and covered himself with the cape. Lone Ranger spotted the oil and quickly shot at it on the ground as it was dripping over the brutes. And they both caught on fire.

Bute brutes screamed as they yelled off of the train to burn to death. Zorro and Lone Ranger cringed and shrugged as they ran for the final car.

Finally with the driver knocked out by Tonto. He and Lone Ranger searched for the breaks but saw none.

"Damn it! There's no breaks!" Lone Ranger yelled.

Zorro looked concerned for a second before his eyes widened, remembering the emp device given to him earlier.

"Both of you! Stand back!" Zorro yelled to them as he moved quickly ahead and plugged the emp emitter against the engines, hoping for the best.

"What is that?!" Lone Ranger inquired.

Then suddenly the brakes halted the entire train as a shock wave bursted.

***EMP Burst!***

"WOAAH!" They all yelled and fell over as the train came to a halt. Causing the three cars at the back to disconnect and tumble over.

As the crisis was done for now. The train stopped along with its cargo.

Lone Ranger winced as he got back up along with Tonto and Zorro doing the same thing.

"I guess you used all twelve bullets?" Lone Ranger asked as he groaned a bit to test his sore shoulder.

"No. I still have three left." Tonto shrugged.

"Huh." Lone Ranger nodded in response.

The Lone Ranger walked out and was relieved to see that they did it. The train stopped and the cargo was delivered or destroyed.

But suddenly they saw more Latino Rogue Troops riding on horses while shouting and ululating with their tongues.

"Guys we got company!" Lone Ranger stood up as he stood up and reloaded his pistols.

Zorro and Tonto ran out of the car with Lone Ranger as they stepped out of the train and stood together to stand their ground against the troops as they were loading their weapons. But suddenly.

***WOOOOOOOOOSH!***

A large wave of neon slammed across the troops. Knocking them into the air. As they screamed. Maverick and Tsunami came riding on their horses Sorbo and Camelia. Maverick held his hand out to summon a wave of water and Tsunami held her hand out to make it gush from under the troops. Causing them to land in the water and fall on the ground with the water wave as it instantly fade away.

Much to Zorro and Lone Ranger's amazement. Tonto on the other hand was grinning at the whole thing.


Maverick and Tsunami came up to them and got off their horses as Maverick held his hand out.

"Howdy." Maverick he tipped his hat to them and quipped. "What you saw there took all night to practice."

At this point their horses Silver, Scout and Tornado came up and stood by the other horses, ready for them to ride off. But first a couple of important questions were needed. Which was a heavy understatement.

"Uh, guys? Please tell me we all saw the same thing and I'm not hallucinating?" Lone Ranger asked, weirded out by what they just saw.

"Don't worry, señior. It's not just you." Zorro muttered to him before addressing Maverick and Tsunami. "I take it you two are with the pequeño hombre de metal?" Translation: *little metal man*.

But before Maverick or Tsunami could reply, Tonto spoke up, getting all their attention.

"Kemosabe. They're not from this world." Tonto said simply and bluntly, staring at the two armored keyblade wielders.

Maverick and Tsunami were kinda taken off guard that Tonto figured it out so quickly. But Maverick shrugged it off to speak.

"Kay the first answer's a no you're just probing the water and light show we just did. And second and third answer is yes. We're with Cor Leonis. The man that contacted you two by letter a few days ago." Maverick revealed.

"And we will explain everything as soon as his caravan arrives to pick up the cargo on this train. And the prisoners the Latino Rogue were keeping." Tsunami added for Maverick.

But Lone Ranger still had the weirded out expression. And held his hand up like he wanted to ask a question.

"Could we get back to the part about y'all being from another world?" Lone Ranger inquired with witty sarcasm.

"I just assumed they were the latest steam driven productos del futuro." Zorro shrugged.

Those words meant 'Products of the future'.

"Steam driven?!" Maverick gawked.

"Easy there, sweetie. Take a breath." Tsunami said to Maverick with a giggle before addressing Tonto. "By the way, how did you know we're from another world?"

"The boy." Tonto said, pointing at Maverick and the M logo on his shirt. "He bears symbol of the great Jawanio Akicita. A mighty warrior from many years ago."

Maverick began to wonder if this Jawanio Akicita was a keyblade wielder before he was. Or maybe even a Maverick.

*"Hey Padre! The buses are here! Come on over unless you're a tardy sauce pants!"* Mini-Mav spoke over the comms.

"On it." Maverick answered before he address the others. "Listen those mo fos from Old West Cartel you all call Rogues. They've been keeping innocent Hispanic citizen captive. And as Zorro here has seen. They've been tortured. Starved. And nearly worked to death." Maverick explained.

"They're going to need all the help they can get. And something tells me you're both for the same thing." Tsunami stated.

"Well, the truth is, Tonto and I are here to stop these armed foreigners from smuggling weapons into the US border." Lone Ranger explained after shooting a glance towards his partner.

"Well, I'm here to stop these Zealots from going against everything mi patria stands for." Zorro stated his reason for being there.

Maverick gave them both a glance.

"You do realize you both have the same job with different patterns?" Maverick qerked his eyebrows while pointing out the obvious.

Zorro and the Lone Ranger looked at each other with skeptical looks. Even though they didn't trust each other, given that they had only met. They knew the Maverick was right.

"He did help stop the train." Tonto reminded.

John had to admit that was true.

"Listen. Since we both want the same thing. I wanna make one thing clear." Lone Ranger was about to say.

But Zorro held his hand up.

"No need for apologies, Senior Ranger. I already accept some of it." Zorro reply with a grin before he walked off to get on his horse.

Lone Ranger gawked at this.

"I wasn't gonna apologize!" Lone Ranger dejected with his hands out. And sighed as he and Tonto got on their horses.

"To answer your question. Zorro's last two films were definitely like this." Maverick said to Tsunami as they were getting on their horses.

"Then this is gonna be fun." Tsunami said with a smirk.

Then Maverick took off with Tsunami on their horses and led the Lone Ranger. Tonto and Zorro over to the prisoner camp they had just liberated.

Cor Leonis' group had juet arrived on a caravan to lead the Guardians over to where they've set up a base in the world of the wild wild west.

Maverick did not expect two of his favorite legendary masked western heroes to actually exist in this world. He was only excited to be playing cowboys while being the hero. But as far as the odds are concerned if there are any at this point. This world visit was so much better than he had expected.

And this was only the beginning.


THAT'S ALL FOR NOW FOLKS! 🎉🎉🎉

So yeah. As I promised. Zorro and The Lone Ranger have met. And it's their movie versions. Well the Lone Ranger's current movie from 2013 and The Mask Of Zorro film series.
