And now we get to several more of the funniest scenes in the movie, followed by an epiphany, and a little action from Pacha's family, along with an unexpected one-on-one battle.


A little further down the path, Kuzco had grown tired from walking, so Pacha ended up carrying him.

"Low blood sugar, huh?" Pacha asked.

"Yeah. It's a curse." Kuzco said.

"Yea this walking really makes your legs ache." said Lea.

"But it is good exercise." Aqua pointed out.

"Still, we could use some grub." said Goofy as his stomach gurgled.

"I can tell." chuckled Roxas.

"Well, as soon as we get something to eat, you're walking the rest of the way." Pacha told Kuzco.

"Hey I think I see something up ahead." said Minnie. "It looks like a restaurant."

Everyone stopped and looked at the building. It had a picture sign showing a man running with a lizard on a plate.

"What's this place?" asked Donald.

"Mudka's Meat Hut. Home of the mug of meat." Pacha replied. "My family and I love coming here whenever we go out."

"It's no Hamburger Hippo, but it looks durable." surmised Ven.

Riku then noticed something. "I think we might have a problem." he told everyone.

"What do you mean?" asked Sora.

Riku pointed to a sign that reads NO LLAMAS.

"Nuts." said Sora. "Looks like Kuzco can't go in."

"Wonder what they'll say about two mice, two ducks, two dogs, a bunny, and a cat walking in." Kuzco pondered as Pacha sat him down.

"Well we are wearing clothes." Max pointed out.

"We could always take our orders to go." suggested Pacha. "Then again, I was looking forward to resting a bit."

"You ain't the only one." said Myde.

"There's a shocker." Isa deadpanned. "But yeah we could all use a breather and some food."

"If only there was something we could use to cover Kuzco's body and face with." Goofy said. "Y'know, like a disguise of some kind." (1)

Kuzco and Pacha looked at each other and smirked.


Inside:

Soon, everyone was welcomed inside. The party was split up many different ways.

Groups of two sat at tables.

Kuzco and Pacha.

Sora and Kairi

Mickey and Minnie

Donald and Daisy

Goofy and Max

Oswald and Ortensia

Roxas and Naminé

Xion and Ven

and Aqua and Terra

Riku, Lea, Isa, and Myde sat in a round booth.

"Ok, when Pacha said he had the perfect disguise, I didn't expect… that." said Lea.

At Kuzco and Pacha's table, the former had been disguised with Pacha's poncho and hat, some flowers, dirt for makeup, and his fur permed.

"Hey at least it worked." Naminé pointed out.

"And a good thing our toon friends passed for humans thanks to their clothes." said Kairi.

"Didn't stop people from raising eyebrows at us." said Donald.

"But hey, at least we're in." Minnie pointed out.

The waitress was taking Kuzco and Pacha's orders. She had the look of somebody who wanted to be anywhere but there.

"Welcome to Mudka's Meat Hut, home of the mug…" she began before Kuzco giggled flirtatiously. ...of meat. What'll it be?"

"We'll have 2 specials." Pacha said before facing Kuzco. "Is that all right, dear?"

"Oh, whatever you say, pumpkin. You know what I like." Kuzco said in a feminine voice.

Pacha chuckled. "We're on our honeymoon." he told the waitress.

"Bless you for coming out in public." the waitress deadpanned. "So that's 2 specials."

"And an onion log. To split." Kuzco giggled.

The waitress gave a faux-smile before leaving, calling out, "Ordering! I need 2 heartburns and a deep-fried doorstop on table 12!"

Everyone burst out laughing.

"OK, so I'll admit this was a good idea." said Pacha.

"When will you learn that all my ideas are good ones?" Kuzco asked.

"That's funny, because I thought you going into the jungle by yourself, being chased by jaguars, lying to me to take you back to the palace were all really bad ideas." Pacha smirked.

"Anything sounds bad when you say it with that attitude." Kuzco scoffed.

"I still can't believe that worked." chuckled Riku.

"Good thing that waitress doesn't care." said Max.

"She looks like she wants to quit her day-job." Ortensia commented.

"Anyways, let's take a look at the menu fellas." Mickey suggested.

Everyone glanced at their menus.

"Pill-bug?" Sora read out. "I'm guessing that's the heartburn."

"Let's hope it doesn't live up to that name." said Daisy.

A few minutes later, the waitress came to their tables.

"What will all of you be having?" she asked dryly.

"I'll have the special." said Sora.

"Me too." said Kairi.

"So will we!" Mickey and Minnie said in unison.

"Potato salad please!" said Goofy.

"Pork combo." said Donald.

"Same, but hold the onion rings." said Ven.

"I'll have the fish." said Daisy.

"Same here." said Aqua.

"Caesar salad." said Terra.

"Make that two." said Isa.

"Steak cut into the shape of a llama." said Max.

"Regular steak. Extra well-done." said Roxas.

"Corn beef hash with extra bacon." said Lea.

"Steak cut into the shape of a trout." said Myde.

"Beef with the sliced carrot." said Oswald.

"The eggrolls please." said Ortensia.

"Catch of the day." Riku said.

The waitress wrote all of that down. "Happy to oblige. You guys know the happy couple? You came in with them."

"No, we're travelers," said Sora. "But we may end up being their entourage." he joked, getting chuckles from Kairi, Ven, Lea, Mickey, Goofy, Oswald, and Max.

The waitress gave another fake smile before leaving.

"Now that that's settled, who do you think is responsible for all the Heartless?" asked Aqua.

"Can't be just Luxord. Organization members like him control the Nobodies." said Isa.

"Maybe he has help like Marluxia, Larxene, and Vanitas." said Ortensia.

"Wonder which toon villain's helping him." Goofy pondered.

"And who could be the villain that lives here?" wondered Riku.

A few minutes later, the waitress and several others brought the group of 22 their orders, setting them on the tables.

"Hot and crispy pillbug for the happy couple." the waitress said to Kuzco and Pacha dryly before tossing rice in the air. "Mazel tov."

Pacha grinned as he used a stick to open the pillbug, revealing it's yellowish-green guts. He sniffed it and began to drink it up through his bamboo straw.

Kuzco watched in disgust, as did several of the travelers.

"Did you really just order that?" Lea asked Sora, Kairi, Mickey, and Minnie in disbelief.

"Yeah that does look like the definition of a heartburn." said Donald.

"Well… we are in a different world, might as well embrace their culture." shrugged Mickey.

"And we have done that many times before. What's stopping us now?" said Minnie, chuckling nervously.

"Good luck. You'll need it." said Riku, eating his meal.

Seeing how Pacha opened his pill-bug, Sora, Kairi, and Mickey used their bamboo sticks to tap theirs and they opened, the aroma steaming out.

"Wow… looks very… filling." Kairi said nervously.

"Well, when in Rome." shrugged Sora as he began to sip it. His eyes widened.

"Are you ok?" Kairi asked in concern.

"Actually, it's not bad. It actually has a nice taste." Sora said, much to Kairi, Mickey, and Minnie's surprise and everyone else's disbelief.

"Really?" asked Kairi before sipping hers. "Hey yeah, it's not bad!"

Mickey and Minnie looked at their pillbug for two.

"Shall we?" Mickey asked with a kind smile.

"We shall!" Minnie giggled.

The two grabbed their straws and stared lovingly at each other as they drank the pillbug.

"That is both weird but romantic at the same time." smiled Xion.

"Reminds me of when Roxanne and I shared a sundae on our first date." Max smiled.

"Let's leave them be." suggested Aqua as everyone resumed eating.

Mickey and Minnie finished drinking their pillbugs when they heard Pacha speak. The villager had seen that Kuzco's pillbug was still closed.

"Oh, here. Let me get that for you." he said, using his bamboo to tap it open, much to Kuzco's disgust.

"So what do we do with the bug?" asked Sora.

"Oh you eat it." Pacha replied, biting into his empty pillbug.

"OK…" Sora said, taken aback.

"Well bugs are pure protein." Kairi said taking a small bite out of hers.

Sora shrugged and did the same.

Mickey and Minnie held their pillbug up with their hands, smiled at each other warmly, and ate it like how mice eats cheese until their lips touched. They laughed as they sat back in their chairs, rubbing their stomachs.

"That was actually pretty good." Mickey said before letting out a burp.

*UUURP!*

"Whoa, excuse me." he said sheepishly.

The mousette giggled. "You're excused Mickey."

Minnie then let out a burp as well.

*UUURP!*

"Oh my, excuse me!" she said sheepishly.

The two mice laughed.

Having enough, Kuzco got up from his table.

"Where are you going?" Pacha asked.

"I'm just going to slip into the kitchen and have a word with the chef." he replied.

"You're gonna get us thrown out." Pacha pointed out.

"Please. With this disguise, I'm invisible." Kuzco said.

Kuzco walked towards the kitchen, grabbing the attention of a man sitting at the bar. He gave Pacha a thumbs up.

Pacha smiled back before awkwardly returning to his meal.

"Attracting attention but in a different way." mused Xion.

At that moment, Yzma and Kronk walked in, right past the entire group, and sat behind them. They didn't even notice as Yzma was really mad and Kronk was, well, Kronk.

"We've been walking around in circles for who knows how long. That is the last time we take directions from a squirrel." she growled. "I should have done away with Kuzco myself when I had the chance."

Hearing that made Pacha gasp and nearly choke on his pillbug as he coughed while everyone else gasped.

"Wait, that's the person that turned Kuzco into a llama?!" Sora asked while whispering.

Everyone looked at Yzma and couldn't help but shudder.

"Damn that woman is really ugly." Lea grimaced.

"I wouldn't touch her with a 39½ foot pole." cringed Ven. (2)

"She makes Scrooge look young." muttered Myde.

"Yeesh, and I thought Grandpa Fergus was old. But this lady makes him look like a 25-year-old man." Donald shuddered.

"But what does that woman have against Kuzco?" asked Naminé.

"Oh, you really gotta stop beating yourself up about that." Kronk said sympathetically.

Yzma glared as she bent a fork with her bare hand, dropping it.

"Uh-oh. I'll get you another one, Yzma." said Kronk as he looked around.

"Wait, that's Ymza?!" Roxas whispered in shock.

"The one with the secret lab?" added Max.

"So that's how Kuzco ended up as a llama!" exclaimed Kairi. "She turned him into one instead of killing him!"

"Must've been a spell mix up or something." said Donald.

"That or her assistant Kronk had something to do with it." said Oswald, pointing to the large man.

"Yo."

Pacha gasped when he heard Kronk talking to him.

"You using that fork there, pal?" Kronk asked.

Without looking, Pacha quickly handed him his fork.

"Hey, don't I know you?" Kronk asked, looking at Pacha a little closer.

"I don't think so." Pacha said nervously.

"Wrestled you in high school?" Kronk asked.

"Don't remember that." Pacha mumbled.

"No? Metal shop? I got it! Miss Narca's interpretive dance, 2 semesters. I was usually in the back of my weak ankles." Kronk continued. "Come on, pal. You gotta help me out here."

Everyone's eyes widened.

"Oh that must've been what happened, Kronk was ordered to take Kuzco out but lost him on Pacha's cart." said Aqua.

"In that case, we'd better get going before they recognize us." said Mickey.

"And I think she might be the villain Luxord was talking about yesterday." said Oswald.

"Where did Kuzco go again?" asked Sora.

"To the kitchen to talk to the chef." Terra replied.

"I don't think we've ever met, but I gotta go." Pacha said quickly, going to the kitchen.

"Don't worry. I'll think of it." Kronk called.


In the kitchen, Kuzco was talking to a burly-looking chef, who was getting annoyed.

"Look, all I know is the food looked iffy. I'm not the only one that thinks that, I'm sure." Kuzco said.

Pacha poked his head through the door. "Psst! Hey!" he whisper-called, trying to get Kuzco's attention.

"So I'm just checking to make sure you're going to take the main course up a notch." Kuzco continued.


Dining area:

"Is there anything on this menu that is not swimming in gravy?" Yzma asked as she looked at the menu, bewildered.

"Hang on. I'll go ask the chef." said Kronk as he got up to go to the kitchen, Sora and Co. giving each other panicked looks.


Kitchen:

"It's a simple question. Is there or is there not anything edible... on this menu?" Kuzco asked as Pacha dragged him away.

But as the village leader came to the door, he gasped to see Kronk walking towards it. He quickly pushed Kuzco to the other side of the kitchen.

"Hey, I didn't ask him about dessert yet!" Kuzco called as they hid in the pantry.

Kronk walked up to the chef.

"Hey, pal, what's your policy on making special orders?" he asked.

While Kronk meant no harm, that was the last straw for the chef. "All right, buster, that's it! You want a special order, then you make it! I quit!" he snapped as he put his hat on Kronk's head.

"Yeah, but I–" Kronk tried to protest as the chef packed a vast amount of things into a tiny suitcase.

"I try and I try, but there's no respect for anyone with vision. That's it! There's just nothing I can do about it!" the chef growled as he left.

"Please don't go." Kronk begged when he heard a bell ring.

"Ordering!"

Kronk turned and saw the waitress reading at the window slot, reading a list of orders from her notebook.

"3 pork combos, extra bacon on the side, 2 chili cheese samplers…" she read in a dry tone.

"No, no…" Kronk tried to explain.

"…a basket of liver and onion rings, a catch of the day, and a steak cut in the shape of a trout." she finished.

Kronk blinked.

"You got all that, honey?" she asked.

"3 oinkers wearing pants, plate of hot air, basket of grandma's breakfast, and change the bull to a gill, got it." Kronk said confidently as he set to work, grabbing several bowls under the table.

In the pantry, Pacha was trying to open the window.

"What's going on?" Kuzco asked, confused.

"No time to explain. We gotta get out of here." Pacha said urgently.


In the dining room, Yzma was getting impatient.

"What is he doing in there?" she grumbled as she got up and walked to the kitchen, which did nothing to calm Sora and Co.'s nerves.


"Uhh! Come on!" Pacha grunted as he git the window open.

"In a minute. I'm still hungry." Kuzco said as he walked back into the kitchen.

"No, Kuzco!" Pacha exclaimed in a panic.

"OK, I'll make it simple for you. I'll have a spinach omelet with wheat toast. You got it?" Kuzco asked, not noticing that the new chef was Kronk.

"Can do." Kronk replied, not recognizing Kuzco's voice.

Pacha tiptoed back into the kitchen as Kuzco walked out into the dining area. At that exact same moment, Yzma entered through the adjacent door, which opened on the same axis as the one that Kuzco went through, so neither of them saw the other.

"What's taking so long?" Yzma demanded.

Pacha quickly hid under the chef's table.

"Pickup!" Kronk called and set two of the orders on the slot and rang the bell.

"Kronk! What are you doing?" Yzma asked.

"Kinda busy here." Kronk replied as he reached for a bowl under the table, which Pacha quickly gave to him without the strong man even noticing.

"Why am I not surprised?" Yzma groaned.

"You order's up!" Kronk called as he set the bowl, now full of soup, on the slot.

"Ohh!" Yzma groaned before relenting. "Oh, well, while you're at it, make me the special. And hold the gravy!" she said as she walked away.

"Check. Pickup!" said Kronk as Kuzco came back in.

"You know what? On second thought, make my omelet a meat pie."he said before leaving.

"Meat pie. Check." nodded Kronk.

Pacha came out from under the table and tried to book it for the door.

"Kronk!"

Pacha skidded to a stop and quickly posed in front of the sign, mimicking the face as Yzma came back in.

"Can I order the potatoes as a side dish?" she asked.

"I'll have to charge you full price." Kronk replied as he chopped some carrots.

Yzma groaned as she left and Kuzco came back in.

"Hey, about a side of potatoes, my buddy?" he asked before walking out.

"You got it. Want cheese on those potatoes?" Kronk asked, chopping the potatoes as Yzma entered.

"Thank you, Kronk. Cheddar will be fine." she replied before leaving.

"Cheddar spuds coming up." as Kronk, grabbing a ladle willed with cheese from a large pot.

"Spuds yes, cheese no." Kuzco said as he entered and left.

"Hold the cheese." Kronk said as he put the ladle back.

"No, I want the cheese." Yzma clarified as she walked in and out.

Pacha looked back and forth with only his eyes, not changing his expression.

"Cheese it is." said Kronk as he began to pour it.

"Cheese me no likey." Kuzco called as he went in and out.

"Cheese out." said Kronk, quickly catching the cheese on an oven mitt.

"Cheese in!" Yzma corrected.

"Come on, make up your mind!" Kronk said in exasperation.

Kuzco popped his head in. "OK, OK, on second thought...

*Yzma pops her head in*

"Make my potatoes a salad." they both said in unison while Kronk inwardly groaned.

As Kuzco ducked out, Yzma though she head an echo, so she wiggled her finger in her ear. Looking around but finding nothing, she walked back to her table.


Dining room:

Sora and his team had watched the entire thing happen. At first, they were bemused before quickly becoming amused. By the third cycle, they were struggling to contain their laughter.

"OK, that was funny." chuckled Ven.

"They didn't even notice!" giggled Naminé.

"Everyone back at the castle and forest are gonna be in stitches when we tell them this." laughed Lea.

"I wonder how Kronk didn't notice." Goofy wondered.

They watched as Yzma took her seat and held up the menu. She then set it down and looked at the kitchen as Kuzco brought his up before he also set it down and looked at the kitchen as well.

"And they still don't notice." chuckled Myde.

"We gotta get out of here before they see us." said Terra.

At that moment, Pacha peeked out from the kitchen and saw Kuzco and Yzma drink their water before they looked at their menus. He then noticed the waitress walk by and quickly went up to her.

"Excuse me. You see that woman over there?" he asked before whispering, pointing to Yzma.

"No problem, hon. We do that all the time." the waitress replied.

Yzma then peeked out from the corner of her menu and looked at the "woman" across from her. She thought there was something familiar about her, but couldn't figure otu what.

"1, 2, 3, 4!"

Yzma screamed and nearly fell out of her chair when she saw the waiters and waitresses, with a birthday cake with about 100 candles, confetti, and a sombrero that they placed on her head.

"Happy, happy birthday from all of us to you! We wish it was our birthday, so we could party, too!" they sang.

Several customers laughed at the scene.

"Ha ha! That is hilarious!" Stan chuckled, pointing at Yzma.

Kuzco peeked from his menu to see what was going on, only for Pacha to drag him away.

Seeing they had a chance, Sora and Co. ran out the door after them, Goofy quickly went back in to leave some munny for a tip.

"Happy, happy birthday, may all your dreams come true!" they sang.

Kronk came out of the kitchen, stirring a bowl, chuckling as he heard the music. "Ha ha ha! It's your birthday?" he asked, not seeing the annoyed look on Yzma's face.


Outside:

Everyone ran behind a wall so Kronk and Yzma wouldn't see them.

"Is everyone alright?" Pacha asked.

"Yeah we're good." said Aqua.

"What are you doing?" Kuzco grunted, confused.

"Look, there's 2 people in there looking for you." Pacha explained.

"What?"

"A big guy and a skinny old woman." Pacha elaborated.

Kuzco recognized the description. "Wait. Was this woman scary beyond all reason?" he asked.

"Oh, yeah." Pacha nodded.

"I don't know how many times she was beaten with the ugly stick, but they should've stopped at 50." said Lea. (2)

"That's Yzma and Kronk! I'm saved!" cheered Kuzco.

"Trust me, they're not here to save you." said Pacha.

"They'll take me back to the palace." Kuzco continued, not listening. "Thanks for your help. You've been great. I can take it from here."

"You don't understand. They're trying to kill you." Pacha said.

"Kill me?" scoffed Kuzco. "Their whole world revolves around me."

Kuzco tried to walk away, but Pacha, Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Ven blocked his way.

"No. I can't let you!" Pacha said firmly.

"Neither can we." said Ven.

"What?" Kuzco asked before his eyes narrowed. "Oh, I get it!"

"What?" asked Riku.

"You don't want to take me back to the palace." Kuzco said accusingly, pointing his hoof at everyone.

"Excuse me?" Daisy asked in shock.

"You all want to keep me stranded out here forever!" Kuzco scowled.

"No!" Pacha protested.

"No we don't!" exclaimed Lea.

"This has all been an act! All of you! And I almost fell for it!" exclaimed Kuzco.

"That is not true!" protested Sora.

"Will you just listen to me–" Pacha began.

"No, no, you listen to me." Kuzco interrupted angrily. "All you care about is your stupid hilltop!"

"What?" Pacha exclaimed in disbelief.

"And you all took his side against me!" snarled Kuzco, facing the Keybearers.

"We weren't trying to trick you Kuzco!" protested Mickey. "We were trying to help you!"

"You're just doing your job!" Kuzco huffed.

"Out of the kindness of our hearts!" shouted Sora.

Kuzco huffed, furiously. "You don't care about me. Now, just get out of here. Go!" he snapped.

"But–" Pacha began.

"Kuzco you have to listen to us!" said Sora.

"This is all a huge misunderstanding." added Mickey.

"Go on! Get outta here! ALL OF YOU!" Kuzco yelled.

Pacha stared in shock. The travelers were about to speak up when,

"FINE!" Pacha snapped, catching everyone off guard. The villager then began to walk away.

Seeing that Kuzco wasn't listening, Sora and his team sighed in defeat.

"Suit yourself." sighed Donald as he followed Pacha.

"Good luck Kuzco." Goofy said solemnly as he went next.

"I hope you know what you're doing." sighed Terra.

"Be careful." said Aqua. She approached Pacha. "Come on Pacha, your family must be worried sick about you."

Everyone else began to follow Pacha. Sora and Mickey stopped to turn to Kuzco.

"Kuzco, you may not listen to us, but we do care about you as much as we care about Pacha." said Sora.

"Try to remember what I said and what we've done for you." Mickey added.

And the two joined their pals, walking back to the village.

Kuzco's ear perked up when the diner's door open. He turned and saw Yzma and Kronk exit the restaurant, Yzma still wearing the sombrero and Kronk weaning a birthday party hat, holding a slice of cake and leftovers wrapped up in the form of a llama. He grinned as he started to follow them.

"Oh, this entire mess is all your fault." Yzma scowled.

"What'd I do?" Kronk asked, confused.

"If you hadn't mixed up those poisons, Kuzco would be dead now!" Yzma growed.

Kuzco's jaw dropped when he heard that and stopped dead in his tracks.

"There'll be no more diversions until we track that llama down and kill him!" Yzma snarled.

"Said I was sorry. Can't just let it go, not even your birthday." Kronk muttered.

"Those Heartless and Nobodies couldn't even get him or those blasted Keybearers. And some help Luxord and Magica have been! Nevertheless, Kuzco must be eliminated." Yzma said as she threw off the sombrero and got into her tent. "The empire will finally be rid of that useless slug and I will rule under Maleficent's command."

Kronk gave her her cake and left overs and put the tent on his back as he ran off. "You got a point. Nobody really seems to care that he's gone, do they?" he commented.

Kuzco watched them go, stunned. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. His most trusted subjects were out to kill him. And Yzma had been working with Sora and Co.'s enemies and was responsible for the Heartless and Nobodies too. And that last part about no one missing him? Was he really that Heartless? But everybody loved him… didn't they?

Kuzco was horrified by what he was now realizing. Mickey's words then came back to him.

"Being a ruler means you have to look out for your people."

"If you don't put the needs of your people before your own, then you are not fit to be emperor."

"...there's more to being king than getting everything that you want."

"...a good leader looks out for their people, not themselves."

And then he remembered. Pacha was there for him. And Sora. And Mickey. And Riku and Kairi. And Donald and Goofy. And Terra, Aqua, and Ven. As was Minnie, Daisy, Max, Oswald, and Ortensia. And so was Roxas, Lea, Xion, Naminé, Isa, and Myde. Despite his behavior, they had all worked together to help him.

"Pacha! Pacha?" he called. "Sora? Riku? Mickey? Kairi? Donald? Goofy? Anyone?" he called.

But they were long gone. He had pushed them away. He sighed in sadness as he walked away on his own, back into the jungle. He found himself at a cliffside and looked up to see his palace. He looked down in guilt as he took off Pacha's hat and poncho before going back into the jungle, just as thunder sounded out.

As if things couldn't get any worse for the llama emperor, it had begun to rain. He sat on a little island, wet and miserable.

So this is where you came in… if you had seen the movie. See, just like I said, I'm the victim here. I didn't do anything, and they ruined my life and took everything I had.

"Hey, give it a rest up there, will you?" Kuzco asked somberly.

What? I'm just telling them what happened.

"Who you kidding, pal? They saw and read the whole thing, they know what happened." Kuzco sighed.

Well, yeah, but...

"Just leave me alone." Kuzco sighed as he laid down to sleep.


Elsewhere Yzma and Kronk had set up camp for the night. The rain had finally stopped as well.

Kronk was sleeping in the open air while Yzma slept in her large tent. The only one Kronk had was a tiny one. He was snoring loudly, holding his teddy bear close to him.

He woke up with a start, realizing something.

"The peasant at the diner!" he exclaimed to his teddy bear. "...He didn't pay his check."

Kronk then promptly fell back asleep for several seconds before getting up, realizing something more important.

"He's the peasant who I saw leaving the city who disappeared into the crowd with Kuzco on the back of his cart." he gasped. "He must have taken him back to his village, so if we find the village, and if we find him, we find Kuzco."

He then realized something else. "And that group with him, those were those Keyblade-wielding group of 20 Maleficent and Xehanort told Yzma about while I was making spinach puffs for everyone." He gasped again. "So if we find Kuzco and the peasant, we find them, and then the blonde guy and the green duck lady will be pleased." He grinned. "Oh, yeah, it's all comin' together."

He opened the tent flaps. "Yzma!"

Yzma sat up from her bed, wearing a face mask, cucumbers over her eyes… and no hair.

"What?!" she shouted in anger.

"Aah!" Kronk cried in disgust.

"This had better be good!" Yzma snarled through gritted teeth as the cucumbers fell off.


The next morning, Kuzco was still walking along, downtrodden after what had happened yesterday. He found himself in a llama pasture, said animals munching on grass. He waved nervously at them, only for the llamas to glare and walk away. Seeing that this was his life now and figured he might as well get used to it, Kuzco decided to eat a small patch of grass in front of him. He chewed and swallowed, grimacing as it left a bad taste in his mouth.

Then, he heard a familiar voice, making him look up. Looking past a heard of llamas, he saw Pacha sitting by some more of them. Behind him were Sora and his team., who were packing up a campsite that had a large tent… that Sora somehow beamed up with a light from the sky.

But Kuzco decided not to question that as he listened in on what Pacha was saying.

"So, there we were standing on the cliff, and the ground started to rumble. And just as it started to go, he grabbed me before I fell. Do you believe that? You know, call me crazy for following this guy all the way out here, but as much as he tries to deny it, I know there's some good in him. Me and those crazy but fun guys. Besides, we couldn't just leave him out here all alone. He's a lousy llama. I mean, a really lousy llama." Pacha said to the llamas.

"Yeah that pretty much covers it." Sora chuckled.

Kuzco was touched as he smiled, walking towards the group. Pacha smiled and got upm dusting off his poncho. Sora, Goofy, and Ven saw this and waved. This got everyone's attention as well and they all looked at the llama. Even Donald and Isa had to give smiles, given that by now, Kuzco must've realized that they were right about Yzma.

"Quite the rainstorm last night huh?" asked Naminé.

"Yeah, really was." Kuzco mused.

"Yep, can really be a pain in the ass sometimes." said Roxas.

"Hey, listen, guys, you know, what I said to you back at the diner, that-that- I-I didn't really…" Kuzco stammered, trying to give an apology.

Pacha raised his hand, telling the human-turned-llama he didn't have to say anymore as everyone gathered together.

"So...you tired of being a llama?" Pacha asked with a knowing look.

Kuzco sniffled before answering while blubbering, "Ye-ee-ee-es!"

"Alright then, we have no time to lose." said Mickey.

"We'll stop by my house and gather supplies." said Pacha. "If we hurry, we might be able to make it to the palace by tomorrow. And if we really, really, hurry, we could make it by dusk."

"Might be hard considering that the Heartless and Nobodies might cause problems." said Isa.

"But as long as we stick and work together, we'll be able to get back to the palace in no time." smiled Sora.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Kuzco grinned.


Soon, the group was running up the stairs in the village towards Pacha's house. Suddenly, two eldelry men playing chess called out to Pacha.

"Hey, there, Pacha. You just missed your relatives." one said.

Everyone stopped. "My relatives?" Pacha asked, confused.

"Yeah. We just sent them up to your house." said the other man.

"You didn't say you were having relatives over." Oswald said in confusion.

"Because I wasn't." Pacha said, confused.

"Something's not right." Isa frowned as he looked at Pacha's neighbors. "What did they look like?"

"See, there was this big guy and this older woman is... How would you describe her?" the tall one asked.

"Scary beyond all reason." the other man said.

"Yeah, that's it."

Kuzco and Pacha traded horrified glances while everyone else traded nervous ones.

"Shit." Sora hissed.

"Not good." muttered Myde.


Pacha's House:

Yzma sat at the dining table with a fake smile on her face as Chicha poured her some tea.

"So, remind me again how you're related to Pacha?" Chicha asked, skeptical of their houseguest.

"Why, I'm his third cousin's brother's wife's step-niece's great-aunt… Twice removed." Yzma replied, sipping her tea.

"Uh-huh." said Chicha. She wasn;t buying it, but wasn't sure what to make of this old woman.

Yzma turned to face Kronk. "Isn't that right, Kronk?" she asked, hoping he would back her up.

But Kronk wasn't listening. He was playing double-ducth with Chaca and Tipo.

" 99 monkeys jumpin' on the bed. '' sang Chaca.

" One fell off and bumped his head. " sang Kronk.

Yzma groaned silently before giving a faux-smile at Chicha.

"You know, I am so sorry that you had to come all this way, but as I said to you before, you may recall, Pacha is not here. I'll be sure and tell him you came by." Chicha said.

"Oh, would you, please? That would be just great." Yzma said before "hitting" her tea cup onto the floor. "Oops. Silly me."

"No, no." Chicha smiled before saying dryly, "Allow me."

Chicha leaned her back against the table and struggled to bend over and get the cup. Yzma took this opportunity to sneak away, moving Tipo out of the way and got into the jump roping game while also playing patty-cake with Kronk.

"She's hiding something. When I give the word, we search the house." she whispered.

"OK, but I still have 94 monkeys to go." Kronk replied.

Yzma seethed in annoyance before ducking away back into her chair just as Chicha came back up with the teacup.

"So, while we're waiting for Paca–"

"Pacha." Chicha corrected her.

"Yeah, I, oh, yes. Perhaps we can have a tour of your lovely home." Yzma suggested.

"You know, why don't you just come back when Pacha gets home? I'm sure he'd love to show you the…" Chicha trialed off when she saw her husband out the door with the top part open. He was gesturing his hand, telling her to stop and ducked away. Chicha got the hint. "Uh, excuse me, won't you? I think I left something in the oven." Chicha quickly said as she slipped away.

Meanwhile, Kronk was swinging two jump ropes for Chacha and Tipo as they jumped.

"This is my variation of double-dutch. On the signal, we switch places." he told them.

Yzma came up to him. "Kronk, it's time!" she said.

"OK!" said Kronk.

Unfortunately, he thought she meant it was time to switch. Yzma found herself holding both jump ropes as Kronk and Chaca & Tips jumped with one of their one, much to her annoyance.


In the kitchen, Pacha had finished explaining things to Chicha.

"So, we have to get back to the palace, find the lab, and change him back." Pacha said.

At that moment, Kuzco appeared in the window. "Hi there!" he greeted.

Alarmed, Chicha hit Kuzco in the face with a frying pan.

"That was him." Pacha winced.

"Whoops." Chicha muttered, looking out the window. She then regarded her frying pan and then looked at the spot on the wall where it originally hung. "Strange, I don't remember taking this off the wall." she mused. She then saw Sora and Co. outside, who waved hello. "Oh they're still with you?" she asked.

"Yes. They're helping me help Kuzco while dealing with creatures called Heartless and Nobodies." Pacha said.

"What creatures?" Chicha asked, confused.

"It's a long story, but they have it handled." Pacha said.

Chicha nodded. "Go. I'll stall them long enough for you two to get a head start." she said.

"Thanks, honey." Pacha smiled.

He gave his wife a kiss, slung a bag of tools over his shoulder, and exited the hut.

At that moment, Kuzco stood up, still wobbling from the blow to the face. "You have a lovely wife. They're both very pretty." he said in a daze as Pacha grabbed him.

Chicha made her way back into the dining room where she saw Yzma, who was getting more annoyed with the kids' – and Kronk's – antics.

"So, where were we?" she asked.

"Listen, sister, we're not leaving until–" Yzma began.

"-I show you the house. Of course!" Chicha hastily interrupted as she grabbed Yzma and dragged her along.


They group ran down the hill.

"Hey, was it a good idea to leave your family with those two?" Kuzco asked in concern.

"Oh, don't worry. They can handle themselves." Pacha said confidently.


Back inside Pacha's Hut, Chicha, Chaca, and Tipo had locked Yzma and Kronk in the closet.

"What do you mean, the door is stuck? Try jiggling the handle." Chicha smirked, tossing the door handle to said door in her hand as Chaca and Tipo stifled their giggling.

"There is no handle in here." Yzma said in annoyance.

"There's not? Are you sure?" Chicha asked, amused.

"All right, I've had enough of this." Yzma growled. "Tell us where the talking llama is and we'll burn your house to the ground."

"Uh, don't you mean 'or'?" Kronk asked.

Yzma sighed in irritation as her eyes blushed in anger. "Tell us where the talking llama is OR we'll burn your house to the ground." she seethed.

"Well, which is it? That seems a pretty crucial conjunction." commented Chaca.

Yzma was at her wits end with this family. "That's it! Kronk, break the door down!" she ordered.

"Break it down? Are you kidding me? This is hand-carved mahogany." Kronk protested.

"I don't care, you fool! Get out of my way! I'll break it down myself!" Yzma growled as she readied herself. "A-one…"

Chicha faced her son and daughter. "OK, kids, you know what to do."

"2…"

"Right, Mom!" Tipo and Chaca said as they ran to their positions.

"3!"

The moment Yzma said "3", Chicha put the doorknob back in and opened the door, just as Yzma charged out.

But she failed to notice Tipo waxing the floor as she slipped, sliding across the hut. Chaca opened the bottom part of the front door and Yzma's top half slammers into the top, making her flip through the bottom as she dove headfirst into a cart that went down the hill.

She then crashed into a beehive Tipo was holding, coating her in honey as bees swarmed around her. She then crashed through a pillow Chaca was holding, covering her in feathers that stuck to the honey. The cart then hit a rock that sent Yzma flying.

Down below, a group of kids were getting ready to kit a piñata.

"OK, children, on your mark, get set, go!" the woman watching them said.

At that moment, Yzma crashed into the piñata, getting stuck on the rope. It didn't help that she now looked like a chicken. The kids started whacking her with their sticks, giggling.

"Ow! Ow! Stop it, you little brats! Huh? Ow!" Yzma groaned before spotting Sora, Kuzco, Pacha, and Co. "Oh, there they go, Kronk! They're getting away!" she shouted.

At that time, Sora, Kuzco, Pacha, and Co. were near the bottom of the hill.

"And where pray-tell do you think you're going?"

Everyone skidded to a stop.

"Who said that?" asked Kuzco.

"I did."

At that moment, Luxord teleported in front of the group.

"Luxord!" Sora, Riku, Roxas, Lea, Isa, Xion, and Myde exclaimed.

"Who now?" Kuzco asked.

"One of our enemies and a member of Organization XIII!" said Donald.

"What are you doing here?!" demanded Minnie.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm helping Yzma." said Luxord. "She wants to rule the empire and Maleficent will see to it that it will stay that way."

"Yzma doesn't deserve to be empress!" snarled Kairi.

"And she won't be conquering anything, not as long as we're around." said Ortensia.

"Which is why my partner is helping me." Luxord smirked.

"Partner? What partner?" asked Myde.

Suddenly, a purple cloud of smoke appeared behind Luxord. The Gambler of Fate stepped to the side as a familiar cackle sounded out, making the worldly-travelers turn pale.

"Oh my!" gasped Minnie.

"Not her!" cried Ven.

"What's going on? Who's this 'her'?" Kuzco asked nervously.

A silhouette of a female duck emerged from the cloud, revealing herself to be Magica De Spell, staff in hand.

"MAGICA!" everyone exclaimed.

"Hello you miserable wretches, miss me?" Magica smirked.

"In your dreams you magical bastard." snarled Terra.

"Who is that?" asked Pacha, nervous.

"Magica De Spell, a very powerful sorceress." said Mickey.

"And trust us, she's dangerous." said Aqua.

"And proud of it." Magica smirked as she walked forward.

"Why are you here De Spell?" Donald snarled.

"I'm helping Yzma bring this world into her image." Magica replied.

"We'll stop you like we always stop you!" Donald growled.

"You may have bested me before, but I am always getting back up again. I'm just too stubborn to stay down. Kinda like you, but better." Magica grinned.

Donald growled.

"You really think there's any hope for this world? With me around, you have no chance of winning." she went on.

"And why would you say that?" asked Xion.

"Like you, my power grows stronger every time." Magica replied. "And I will see to it that Yzma rules the empire while we conquer the rest of the worlds. She's got quite the image for evil I might add, I mean, we both love the whole turning-anything-into-an-animal thing."

"Nice to see that you have something in common, but none of you will be ruling anything!" growled Riku.

"Yeah, no evil being will take over the empire on my watch!" Kuzco said with a glare.

"Let's see if you can truly keep that promise, Ex-Emperor Kuzco." Magica laughed as she waved her staff into the air. "Heartless… ATTACK THE TOWN! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Magica suddenly floated into the air as multiple Heartless fell from a dark, black cloud she had summoned.

Shadows, Soldiers, Barrel Spiders, and Rabid Dogs fell down and ran for the village. The residents screamed as they ran in panic. The kids and their chaperone ran for shelter as well, leaving Yzma alone, but leaving her still stuck on the rope.

"Uh oh, that doesn't look good." Kuzco remarked.

"We have to save them." said Pacha.

"Good luck with that." Luxord smirked as he teleported away.

"Just so you two know, while Nobodies are more dangerous, the Heartless are very tough to fight too." Lea told Kuzco and Pacha. "Got it memorized?"

"Got'cha Lea." nodded Pacha.

Mickey summoned Kingdom Key W. "C'mon fellas, let's go!" he said.

Sora and his team summoned their signature Keyblades, staff, and shield, racing back to the village with Kuzco and Pacha to save the residents from the Heartless.

Sora and Kairi fired a combination of Blizzard spells at some Soldiers. Sora then trapped several of them with a Bind spell as Kairi casted Meteor to finish them off. Riku stopped three Rapid Dogs from chasing a llama by blasting them back with a Quake spell. Myde then came to Riku's aid as he casted Watera at the dog-looking-Heartless, finishing them off. Lea used his chakrams to surround a group of Shadows from going into a hut before he casted Dark Firaga to weaken them. Before they could attack the redhead, Isa slashed them across their backs with his Keyblade and then casted Thundaga Shot to kill them. Mickey and Minnie jumped from the roof of another hut, slashing away several Soldiers before they could attack the family living there. The king and queen of Disney Town then combined their powers and casted Double Thundara to finish them off. Roxas stood in between a scared family and some Barrel Spiders as he casted Ice Barrage to keep them away. Before they could attack the former Nobody, Ven came up from behind them, casted Poison to weaken them, and he and Ven combined their magic to cast Double Firaga to finish them off. Daisy jumped in front of a group of Soldiers, stopping them from going near another family. She quickly used Quake to knock them away. As soon as the Heartless landed, Donald jumped towards them, held up his staff and Keyblade, and then casted Double Thundaga, which killed the creatures of darkness easily.

Aqua slashed at some Rapid Dogs chasing after two more llamas. Terra then joined her as he fired orbs of light against them. Together, the dark brunette and female bluenette of the team held up their Keyblades and unleashed an Icicle Mine spell to kill them. Goofy saved Pacha's two elderly neighbors by casting Fission Firaga against some Shadows. Goofy then bashed them away from the two elderly men with his shield towards his son so he could fight them. Max leapt into the air with his skateboard and slammed right into the Heartless against the ground. The youngest toon then casted Triple Plasma to finish them off as he skateboarded away to fight some more. Naminé prevented some Soldiers from going near the children and their leader that thought Yzma was a pinata by casting Confuse to discombobulate them. The female blonde-haired former Nobody then weakened them with a Balloon spell. Xion then assisted her fellow Kairi-lookalike as she jumped into the air and then casted Glacier to finish them off. Oswald blasted at some Barrel Spiders with a Firaga Burst spell to keep them at bay from a family huddled together in their home. Ortensia then came to her husband's assistance as she finished off the monsters with a Tornado Tracer spell. Kuzco charged at various Heartless, headbutting them and kicking them away. He even bit them by any part sticking out and tossed them to the side. Pacha punched away any Heartless that came near him. He even grabbed some with his bare hands, slammed them into one another or threw them to the side.

Kuzco noticed a group of Shadows heading towards the hill that led to Pacha's hut and remembered that Chicha, Chaca, and Tipo were still inside.

"Oh no you don't!" Kuzco snarled as he ran towards them. He headbutted right into te Heartless like a bowling ball hitting all 10 pins before he punched and kicked them away with his hooves. "HA! Boom baby!" he cheered when he saw them lying weakened against the ground.

Mickey rushed over and casted Pulse Tracer against the fallen Heartless.

"Nice work Kuzco!" he complemented.

"We royals have to protect our people, don't we?" Kuzco smirked.

Sora finished off three Rapid Dogs with a Thundaga Spell. He turned around to go help his friends when Magica suddenly landed in front of him, smirking.

"Get out of my way, Magica or you'll be sorry!" Sora said with a glare.

He pointed Kingdom Key at Magica, which switched to Ultima Weapon.

Magica sent out a magical blast. Sora blocked with his blade, but he was pushed back slightly.

"Are you ready to try out my new powers Sora?" Magica tauntingly asked. "Maleficent told me I'd be unbeatable. You are finished little boy."

Sora smirked in his battle stance. "I'm finished? I'll wipe you out before you can even lay a finger on me!" he said confidently.

"Don't underestimate me Sora, I AM THE SORCERESS OF THE SHADOW, THE-" Magica began.

"Yeah, yeah, save it for someone who cares. You're the Shadow Queen, the darkest corner in our mind, Magica De Spell, blah, blah, blah." Sora said, not even caring.

"Didn't anyone tell you it's rude to interrupt a lady when she's speaking?" Magica scowled. "Such bad manners!"

"Lady, I've got manners but you're no lady!" snarled Sora.

Magica huffed. "It took Donald using all of his power to defeat me in the Shadow War, both him and Daisy to defeat me in the Castle That Never Was with their powers and skills combined, and a whole group of you to fight me in the town, and even then I had teamed up with Maleficent and Hades!" she boasted. "What makes you think that you can even take me on?"

"Because I have the strength of my friends in my heart. That's all the power I need!" Sora said determinedly.

"Hah! A eunuch boy like you doesn't even know the meaning of true power!" Magica cackled, getting into a fighting stance.

"You did not just call me a eunuch." Sora growled. (4)

(Maleficent Boss Fight from Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep plays)

Information: Defeat Magica De Spell

Party Members:
Sora

Magica charged at Sora as her staffed glowed with purple magic, she casted several orbs, but Sora was able to slash the orbs away. Magica tried to use this distraction to slam her staff on Sora's head, but Sora blocked it with his Keyblade, holding it with both hands as he struggled to push Magica away. Sora pushed Magica's staff away in the air and then side-kicked Magica in the gut. As Magica tried to recover, Sora used this opportunity to cast a Crawling Fire spell that struck the sorceress. As Sora charged back at Magica, she blasted him back with a wave of magic, sending him onto the ground. As he got up, Sora saw Magica flying towards him and quickly casted Triple Pursuit to hold her off. Sora leapt back onto his feet and he and Magica clashed weapons. They clashed three more times before Magica whacked Sora in the face. Sora stumbled backwards as Magica slammed her staff against the ground,s ending a magic shockwave that sent Sora flaying backwards. Sora quickly recovered and casted Blackout against Magica before running forward, casting Double Blizzaga against her, sending the female duck flying backwards. Magica snarled as she sent a wave of Shadows flying at Sora. The brunette quickly lashed them away before they could land on him. After that, he casted Fission Firaga at the rest of the Shadow Wave. Magica suddenly electrocuted Sora with her staff and bashed him in the jaw. Sora hissed in pain as he fell down, clutching his jaw with one hand, but held his Keyblade with his other as he casted Sparka against Magica. Magica snarled as she sent multiple blasts of magic at Sora, who quickly recovered, and blasted them back with several orbs of light. Sora then jumped up and casted Dark Firaga against Magica. Magica slammed her staff against the ground, creating a shockwave that sent Sora flying into the air. Sora quickly regained himself and then blasted the sorceress with a Tornado Tracer spell before landing.

Magica snarled as she got back up.

"Face the Shadow Queen's wrath!" she yelled.

Magica spun her staff in the air and sent another hoard of shadows at Sora. The Keyblade Master slashed his Keyblade against them before he used Ignite to finish them off. Sora and Magica clashed weapons again before Magica electrocuted Sora in the stomach, making him scream in pain before she blasted him onto the ground. Sora cured himself and used Aergoa on Magica, sending her flying in the air before she was blasted by an Ice Barrage spell. Sora jumped into the air, held his Keyblade up high, and then casted Meteor, said spell striking Magica multiple times. The villainess snarled in singer as she sent purple lighting back at Sora, sending him flying 50 feet away, making him tumble various times. Sora quickly got up just in time to see Magica flying towards him very fast. Sora held Ultima Weapon up and blocked Magica's staff. The two pushed against each other before Sora ducked from Magcia swinging her staff at him. Sora knocked her weapon into the air before, to Magcia's confusion, dismissed his Keyblade. Before she could question it, Sora side-kicked her in the chest. He then punched her in the face, hook-kicked her in the shoulder, uppercutted her jaw, spin-kicked her in the chest. Magica growled as she punched Sora in the face and stomach, but Sora blocked her next several punches with his arms before he crane-kicked her in the beak. Sora then backflipped away, resummoning his Keyblade, and then unleashed Raging Storm against Magica. The sorceress of the shadows was enraged as her staff sparkled with electricity and then sent a very massive orb of it flying at Sora. Sora quickly casted Mine Shield to protect himself, the impact of the spell sending back onto his back.

"Face it you little twerp, you can't win against the Shadow Sorceress!" Magica laughed.

"Doesn't mean I won't try!" Sora snapped back as he summoned Oblivion in his free hand.

Now double-wielding, Sora casted Double Blizzaga against Magica as he charged back at her. Magica was about to strike back when she was hit with a Double Thundaga spell. Magica snarled as she sent a large wave of purple magic at Sora, only for the Keybearer to slash right through it with his Keyblades and then casted Double Firaga back at the magic duck.

"Give me strength!" Sora shouted as he changed into his yellow Master Form.

As Magica got up and tried to summon more magic, Sora used Endless Magic to rain down a bunch of spells upon her. He then used Master Strike to weaken her. As Magica tried to get up, Sora stopped her with Disaster, that dealt a lot of magical damage to Magica.

And to make sure Magica wouldn't get up and follow them, Sora landed on the ground, and held up both of his Keyblades as a pattern appeared under his shoes.

"ULTIMA!" he shouted.

Twice the amount of magical energy from a normal Ultima spell was summoned around Sora and shot right at Magica, knocking her onto the ground, knocking her out cold.

(Maleficent Boss Fight from Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep ends)

Sora panted as he dismissed his Ultima Weapon and changed back into his regular KHIII clothes.

"Wow… that… was intense…" he breathed as he casted Curaga on himself.

"Not just intense, that was AMAZING!"

Sora looked and saw Riku, Kairi, Aqua, Terra, Ven, Roxas, Naminé, Xion, Lea, Isa, Myde, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Max, Oswald, Ortensia, Kuzco, and Pacha coming up, having taken care of the rest of the Heartless. It had been Kairi who said that.

"That was quite the one-on-one fight you had with Magica there, Sora." said Mickey.

"Yeah, you fought her very well." nodded Minnie.

"And you know, I was wondering if you would ever have a duel with Magica solo." Donald said.

"Really?" Sora asked.

"Yeah!" Donald nodded with a smile. "And I had a feeling that despite her power, you would definitely be the winner."

"We all would! And we were right! A-hyuck!" Goofy chuckled.

"Wow, thanks guys." Sora smiled appreciatively.

"Just shows how powerful you can be." Riku smirked.

"Come on, we'd better get moving." said Kairi.

"She's right, we gotta get to the palace before Yzma does." nodded Pacha.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" said Kuzco.

"Lead the way Pacha!" said Sora.

Pacha nodded as the group ran down the path.


Back at Pacha's hut, Kronk, Chicha, Chaca, and Tipo came out the front door, having stayed inside the whole time the Heartless attacked.

"Ha ha ha! Well, I had a great time." Kronk said to Chicha. "Let's not wait until the next family reunion to get together."

Chicha couldn't help but smile, even though it was awkward. She could tell that Krnk wasn't a bad guy and, unlike Yzma, could be trusted around her kids.

"KRONK!" came Yzma's shrieking voice.

"I, uh, I gotta run." Kronk said as he ran down the hill to find his boss.

To be continued…


Done it again! I was happy that this chapter was easier to work on! It's nice to have more than one chapter of this story be uploaded in the same month.

Up next, the journey to the palace and the final battle.
