Episode XIX (19): Turbo's Defeat

Mint Fox entered the Forbidden Castle, and he walked towards the throne room kneeling to them.

He asked, "Dark Masters what did my hired hand do to get in trouble with you guys? Sorry if I asked in a poor time."

Maleficent glared at him. The fox didn't come at a bad time. He was asking a wrong question; one putting him at risk for facing their wrath.

"That's not your business," said Jafar.

"But Dark Masters-,"

"We didn't recruit you to go around sticking your nose where it doesn't belong," the sorcerer snapped. "We don't tolerate that kind of activity."

Mint Fox pointed out, "I sent Elvira to go to Wales."

Jafar asked, "Why?"

Maleficent grabbed him by his neck. "I demand you tell us everything."

Mint Fox confessed, "I thought that I got a child descended from a Jedi knight."

"You idiot," Jafar snapped. "We have no interest in those people."

Mint Fox asked, "Why?"

Frollo asked, "What's a Jedi?"

Mint Fox answered, "They are members of the mystical knightly order in the Star Wars films, trained to guard peace and justice in the Universe."

Jafar snarled, "You imbecile! We can't afford to have outsiders interfering with our plans to resurrect Chernabog!"

As Frollo listened, he thought about how glad he was that he didn't have the same idea regarding the group he encountered from the Warner Domain. Of course, he actually knew better.

Mint Fox asked, "What about that brat who carries that shiny sword?"

"If we wanted you to deal with any of the children on any way, we would have given you a clear idea," said Maleficent. "For now, we will be the ones to handle that matter."

Mint Fox replied, "But Elvira-"

Jafar yelled, "Not another word about that failure!"

Mint Fox flinched at his tone. Seeing that this wasn't going smoothly, he dismissed himself from the throne room. Maybe he was better off not knowing what became of Elvira. Knowing the Dark Masters, they probably forced her to suffer a cruel fate.

Mint Fox walked away from the throne room, but he decided to research more information about what surprise that Zander told him about. He typed in the name Anakin, and he stumbled upon articles of Anakin Skywalker. He rolled his eyes in annoyance and typed in soul separation and he found an article of a boy in a coma in Wales.

He wondered, did Elvira do something that caused this to happen?

A toon goblin taunted, "That kitten went there without the approval of the Dark Masters. I heard she stole some gloves that would separate his or her soul and mind and send them in this world."

Mint Fox was startled by the goblin's appearance. "What do you know? Have you been eavesdropping?"

The goblin answered as he was sharpening his weapon, "I have heard from that man with godlike strength who interrogated her as to why she was in Wales because of a recent acquisition. He dragged her into the Solar Castle for further questioning. I can tell you that she was lucky that the man didn't take out his powerful shield that can unleash a paralyzing roar. I have experienced that shield's power and it was a nightmare!"

There was only one person Mint Fox knew who possessed those qualities and that was Aeson. "So Aeson caused Elvira's punishment."

The goblin answered, "He did. I would recommend you stay away from him. He has an ink that can sting like jellyfish."

Having some knowledge of Aeson, Mint Fox knew it would be best not to get himself in any trouble regarding the man. If the Dark Masters weren't threatening enough, surely Aeson wouldn't be any more benevolent to the fox.

The goblin laughed, "By the way, that roar also partially erases the memory and modify them to the point as if those memories were just dreams."

Mint Fox was getting annoyed yelled, "Butt out and mind your own business."

The goblin grumbled and finally left him alone.

Mint Fox continued reading the article and he wondered, "How did Elvira remove the soul and mind? Did she really have magical hands?"

As he continued his research, he began to wonder what was taking Turbo so long?

Turbo walked into a room where Maleficent was and he asked, "Is the Mad Doctor here?"

"I'm afraid not," she answered. "Whatever experiments you were hoping to perform, I'm afraid they'll have to wait."

Turbo groaned in annoyance. He looked around for the others. "Hey, where are Jafar and Frollo?"

"Jafar is in his own lair concocting some new potions," Maleficent told him. "As for Frollo, he is indisposed at the moment."

"You mean he returned to his world? Why?"

"I'm not sure. I can only hope he'll return soon."

A mischievous grin crossed Turbo's face. "Maybe a certain group was sighted?"

Maleficent sighed, knowing who he was referring to. "For his sake, I hope not."

Turbo asked, "What can I do?"

"You could always ask John Hawkins for his help," Maleficent suggested. "Even Jafar is not unskilled for matters like these."

Turbo stated, "All right."

Jafar was working on a potion that would force Danyal to confess as he would interrogate her. With her mind protected by the Genie's magic, he had to try a different method. "If I can get the magpie to drink this, she'll be forced to tell me everything that transpired while she was in the Warner Domain."

Turbo entered his lair. "Jafar."

The sorcerer gave him his attention. "Oh, Turbo, are you back so soon?"

"Yeah, and I did it," he bragged. "I captured the magpie and the flame brat and the others."

Jafar couldn't believe it. "Did you really?"

"Of course, I did!" Turbo cried. "Come see for yourself."

Turbo guided Jafar to the dungeon to see Natius.

The sorcerer couldn't believe his eyes as he saw Natius. "Well, you actually did it," he said, impressed.

Natius cried, "I thought the Genie sent you to the lowest bowels of the Cave of Wonders!"

Jafar chuckled. "You should know we Dark Masters can't be gotten rid of that easily."

Natius took out a pendant of Saint Michael the Archangel standing in triumph on top of the Devil.

Jafar asked noticing the pendant, "What is that?"

"It's a message to you," Natius was saying. "The power of Christ will compel you! "

Jafar asked laughing, "Is that supposed to intimidate me? If so, then you failed. That saint is not going to release you."

Natius remarked, "Says the Cobra Commander with a God complex."

Jafar began to remember what Judge Doom said about the Grimhilde Estate and he asked, "Why would your parents take up the name Grimhilde when establishing the estate?"

Turbo agreed. "It's ironic that the Evil Queen's name would be used in Snow White and Harald's family."

Natius replied, "Says a bug that cheated into power because of a sob story!"

"I got elected fair and square," Turbo argued.

"Tell that to your comrades." Natius snorted.

Natius asked, "Why are you here?"

"I came to see for myself if Turbo was telling the truth when he bragged about capturing you and your friends," he answered.

Natius asked, "What?!"

Jafar took out the potion and Natius asked, "What's in that bottle?"

"Something special I brewed for the magpie," he explained. "Once she takes it, she'll be forced to tell me everything as I interrogate her."

"Haven't you already interrogated her enough?" Natius asked. "What more do you guys want to know from her? There can't be anything she hasn't already told you."

Jafar ordered. "Bring that magpie!"

The guards went to Danyal's prison cell and brought her to the sorcerer.

Danyal cried, "You're supposed to be in the Cave of Wonders for your crimes against humanity!"

Jafar grinned. "You couldn't have possibly figured I would stay there forever."

"We're not like those lesser villains you fought," said Turbo. "We're not easy to beat, let alone destroy."

Danyal noticed the potion and she asked, "Are you kidding me?! I already told you the information that you needed!"

"You haven't told me everything," Jafar said. "I still have some questions. And if I can't break that feeble mind of yours, then I'll just have to force you to speak. And this time, you don't have that wretched animal of yours to protect you and all of your friends are locked up with nothing to do but watch helplessly."

Danyal cried, "You snake headed demon! These three have no connection to you!"

She felt herself being held down!

Jafar found the spell to turn Natius into a little hamster!

He raised his staff and casted the spell. In a fit, Natius scurried around and chittered.

Turbo caught him and warned him, "Behave yourself or Diaval will come and feed on you."

Danyal cried, "What the hell is your major problem, Cobra Commander?"

Jafar took out the potion; having enough of her attitude and Danyal cried, "No!"

"Should I sedate her?" Turbo asked Jafar.

"No," he answered. "If you do, we won't be able to interrogate her."

Try as she might, it was useless to struggle. The guards had a tight hold on Danyal.

Jafar grabbed Danyal by the face, trying to get her to take the potion. In an attempt to resist, she viciously bit down on his hand. He cried out in pain and pulled himself away.

Jafar ordered having enough of the girl's defiant attitude, "Take the magpie to the interrogation room."

Danyal began struggling against the guards, but a towering toon anthropomorphic bear grabbed her. The bear was wearing armor suited for a captain. His name was Arcadius, captain of the Dark Masters minions.

He stated in an obedient tone, "I'll lock her in the room."

Danyal tried to struggle against the animal's firm grip, but he placed her on the floor of the interrogation room.

Arcadius warned her, "Try anything to escape your fate, Jafar will do a lot worse than hypnotize you. Those glasses are more like amplifiers than shields."

Danyal looked to see Jafar walking into the room, and she asked, "What do you want Cobra?"

Jafar replied as he stroked his snake staff, "I am going to ask you some questions. Before we do, you will drink this potion."

Natius was taken to a room separated from his friends.

The Mad Doctor came into the room!

"You sent for me, Dark Master Turbo?"

"You're late!" Turbo yelled.

Mad Doctor asked, "Why am I here?"

Turbo pointed to Natius. "I want you to help with the flame brat."

Natius looked at the potion and Jafar asked, "Why did your family take up the name of the Wicked Queen? Unless you want to be a small scraggly rodent like a little hamster."

Natius thought of a lie. "I guess Snow White didn't want the memory of her stepmother to stay a bad one. Snow White was never one to bear ill will, considering she represented the element of kindness. So, she did one kindness for her stepmother. "

Turbo asked, "Why do I get the feeling that you're lying?"

"Why is this important to you, anyway?" Natius asked.

Turbo explained, "She was once a Dark Master. She created our hierarchy."

"That doesn't mean my family has any ties to her," Natius snapped. "If you lunatics have any ideas of getting me to join you, forget it."

Turbo replied, "I had Jafar to order that teacher of yours to question about your ancestors is because you have a power lying dormant within your heart!"

"And we mean besides the Firebird." Turbo added.

Natius asked, "What?!"

"The elements," Turbo stated. "Their powers are dormant within every one of you."

Natius yelled, "That's not true!"

"You don't believe me or my colleagues?" Turbo asked. "Why don't you ask your cat friends?"

Natius looked at Oliver and Figaro, hoping for them to answer differently.

Oliver stated, "You may have awakened the elements of your ancestors, but you have yet to awaken the elements you possess."

Natius asked, "What are you saying?"

"The elements of your ancestors have been passed down through the generations," Figaro was explaining. "Now you must prove yourselves worthy of the same elements as you face the same trials they did."

Natius began to look around for a way out!

Natius asked struggling to try and bite Turbo's hand, "What is with you idiots and rodents?!"

Turbo looked at Jafar and he asked, "What should we do with him? I was thinking about sending him to John Hawkins."

The Mad Doctor cleared his throat. "Didn't you ask for my help with that boy?"

Turbo answered, "I was considering having you collaborate with John Hawkins."

The Mad Doctor asked, "Are you sure that's okay?"

Turbo answered, "Yes."

The Mad Doctor took Natius and placed him in a small cage and went off to find John Hawkins.

John Hawkins was trying to figure out how to experiment on a small rodent.

All he had so far were a couple of rats caught scurrying around in the dungeons and three mice.

The Mad Doctor entered the room and John asked, "What are you doing here?"

"The Dark Masters sent me with a new subject." He revealed the carrier holding Natius, who was still scurrying for a way out.

Natius tried to bite at the bars to no avail.

John Hawkins looked at the hamster. "What did the Dark Masters say to do with this one?"

The Mad Doctor replied, "Turbo wants me to collaborate with you."

"I realize that, but what do they want us to do with the pest?" John asked again.

Mad Doctor replied, "Turbo wants to see if you could create a small translator."

John Hawkins groaned. He was already having enough trouble inventing translators for people of foreign countries. He didn't understand the point of having translators for animals. "That's a waste of my time. I can think of better things I'd rather be doing, like mutations."

"Why don't you?" the Mad Doctor asked.

"Because the Dark Masters think I won't be able to control anything I mutate," he answered.

Mad Doctor came up with an idea and he stated, "We can use the rodents to test our potions."

John Hawkins liked the sound of that. He took a syringe filled with liquid that was black as shadows covered in an aura of darkness. Natius looked in horror, not wanting to be injected with whatever was in that syringe.

Natius bit on Turbo's hand and he began to scurry to a hole that was in a chapel!

"No!" the Mad Doctor cried. "Come back!"

"Let it go," John Hawkins barked. "I got more rodents."

Natius had to get back to his friends, but he also had to be careful of the animals in the castle that preyed on rodents.

Natius began to look around for his friends. The imagery was beginning to make him feel uneasy.

"They didn't mind it so much," she answered.

It was Maleficent's voice. "In fact, I think Hawkins and the Mad Doctor agree that these experiments could be useful."

"I still don't like it," said Frollo's voice. "Nothing good can come from this."

"They've assured me they'll have no trouble breaking the magpie," said Maleficent.

Natius began to look below a bookshelf and Frollo asked, "Are you sure about this?"

Maleficent nodded. "Jafar has been concocting a potion that will force the girl to reveal everything we want her to. All that needs to be done is to get her to drink it. Force it down her throat if we must."

Frollo looked to the dungeons.

"Don't exert yourself," Maleficent warned. "You'll need your energy in the event those children should wind up in your world."

He scoffed and said, "You sound as though you're prepared for failure." But he knew she was right. If the heroes were to escape, there was a chance they would end up in his world and Frollo would need his strength.

"Go to your chambers and get some rest," Maleficent ordered. "We'll take care of things."

Frollo agreed and he left for his world.

Natius waited for the both of them to leave. Once they were out of his sight, he resumed his trek back to the dungeons.

He found the dungeon and he saw Jeanette!

At first, Jeanette didn't recognize the hamster. But as she heard it speaking to her, she realized it was Natius.

Jeanette asked, "Who did this to you?"

"No time to explain," Natius told her. "We've got to find the others and get out of here."

Jeanette stated, "We also have to find Bianca."

Natius gasped of horror. Had Bianca been separated from the others?

"We also have to find a way to change you back," Jeanette added.

Natius stated, "We have to find her before the Mad Doctor gets any ideas."

Jeanette urged Natius out of her prison cell. "You go on ahead."

"I can't just leave you," Natius protested.

"Natius, I'm locked in," she told him. "I'm of no use to you right now. Just go and I'll figure out a way to escape."

Natius scurried off to find Bianca.

Natius found Bianca five cells away from Jeanette's!

He gave a small sigh of relief, seeing that she was all right.

Bianca was just as relieved to see him. "Natius, you're all right."

"Don't worry, Bianca. I'm going to find a way to get you all out."

He began to search for a weak spot in a lock.

Natius looked at a table and noticed a sharp needle sitting on that table and this gave him an idea to use it as a picklock.

He took the needle and went back to the door of Bianca's cell. She held Natius in her hand and lifted him up to the keyhole. Natius worked quickly, turning and twisting the needle. As he heard a clicking sound, he figured he had succeeded. Bianca opened the door. She was free!

It was time to help the others. Bianca tossed her sleep-inducing shurikens at the guards. Once they fell asleep, she snatched the keys. It was consuming much time, figuring out which key opened which door. After a few struggles, Bianca was able to free Jeanette.

Natius asked, "How am I to change back?"

"Don't ask me," Bianca replied. "I'm not a magician."

Jeanette looked to Figaro and Oliver as she was setting them free. "Do you guys have any ideas?"

Oliver stated, "We can find that book Jafar used."

"How, pray tell?" Mahad asked as Jeanette freed him. "The Dark Masters have goons all over this castle. And even if we do find it, there's still one problem: none of us are skilled in magic."

Jeanette asked, "What about the Genie? We could summon him for help like in Kingdom Hearts."

"It's worth a try," Bianca said.

"It's going to cost a wish," Mahad reminded his friends.

Jeanette stated, "This will be my first wish."

She rubbed the lamp, summoning the Genie. "Genie, I wish for you to change Natius back into a human."

Genie used his powers and changed Natius back!

Natius noticed some of his friends were unaccounted for and he noticed Danyal was not there.

"For all we know, Jafar still has Danyal," said Mahad.

"All right," said Natius. "Once we get her back, we've got to get back to Sugar Rush. Turbo will be there too for the upcoming race."

Jeanette and Bianca finished freeing the rest of their friends from their prison cells. "Let's get going," Bianca cried.

Meanwhile in the interrogation room, Jafar was getting annoyed with Danyal's silent treatment!

"All you're doing is trying to avoid the inevitable," he told her. "If I have to break you to get the information I want, I will."

Danyal said nothing. She continued resisting giving in.

Jafar decided to try a different tactic. He could use his magic to control her like she was a puppet. That would likely force her to take the potion.

Jafar snarled, "Tell me what I want to know!"

Danyal replied, "I already told you how I stumbled across the Warner Domain now stop asking me the same question!"

It was plain to see Danyal wasn't going to cooperate. He raised his staff, prepared to put her under a control spell.

Jafar demanded as he position his staff to the level of her eyes, "You will drink this potion."

Danyal's mind was protected, but her body was not. Against her control, her hand reached for the potion. She struggled and strained, but the potion was getting closer to her lips.

The potion began to touch her lips and Danyal wanted to shoot Jafar for this!

Jafar smiled at this. "You may have told me how you stumbled into the Warner Domain, but the one answer to this particular question still eludes me and my comrades," he said as he saw Danyal drink the potion. "Did your adventures in the Warner Domain cause the seal on Bald Mountain to weaken?"

Danyal answered, "Unlikely, due to the fact that Warner and Disney are rivals with one another."

Jafar falsely accused her. "That may be, but since your misadventure, the borders between the Domains began to weaken."

"What are you saying?" Danyal asked.

"You haven't heard, have you?" Jafar asked. "A group of heroes from the Warner Domain was sighted in our Domain."

"I heard, but I don't deserve to be blamed for that," Danyal said.

Jafar stated, "Your little misadventure had interfered with the borders."

Danyal replied, "You are a liar! Each domain has a powerful gatekeeper to ensure that an event like that would not occur twice. My speculation is that a higher power in the Disney universe summoned them for help. Therefore, you are caught in a lie."

Jafar gritted his teeth. He knew Danyal was not lying since she took the potion. Then he figured that maybe that's what happened when she stumbled into the Warner Domain. A higher being must have summoned her for help.

Danyal smirked. "Is there anything else you want to know, or have you realized how painful the truth can be to bear?"

Jafar voiced his thoughts. "Is that what happened? You were summoned to the Warner Domain because a higher being asked for your help?"

Danyal stated, "There's a possibility that a small portion of Glinda was able to guide me to the Warner Domain because prior to having her soul stolen by the Nome King, she was the Witch of the North who helped Dorothy."

Of course. Jafar remembered that Danyal was Dorothy's descendant as well as Thomas and Nakoma's. "Were you successfully able to help Glinda?"

Danyal stated, "We haven't located that Nome. We had to put Glinda away until her soul gets reunited. As for her wand, we're trying to remove an eye on her wand."

This intrigued Jafar. "An eye on Glinda's wand?" He wondered what that was about.

Danyal answered, "That's correct."

Seeming satisfied with Danyal's answers, Jafar grinned. He was about to consider asking Danyal what she knew about this eye, but figured maybe she might not know much. He instead figured letting Maleficent know what he found out.

"Very well," he said to Danyal. "I believe I have the answers I've been looking for."

Jafar ordered, "Lock her in our psychiatric ward."

Danyal asked, "What?!"

The sound of Natius's voice cried, "We're coming, Danyal!"

Danyal began to cut the rope using the arrow in her hand.

Finally, Natius and the others arrived and began fighting off the guards.

Natius noticed a guard with his hand stabbed into the table and he stabbed the other hand with his dagger causing the toon goblin to shriek in pain and he felt weak, and he asked accusing Natius, "What have you done to me?"

He smirked and said, "I've given you a one-way ride to Hades' dominion."

The goblin asked, "Wha-?"

The goblin noticed the floor beneath his feet turned into a small hole leading to the Underworld and the goblin fell in screaming in terror!

"Natius pointed the dagger at Jafar. "You're going to be next, Jafar, if you don't let Danyal go."

Jafar replied, "I am a genie and therefore, you can't kill me."

"We're still taking Danyal back," Mahad declared.

Jafar asked, "What?!"

Natius grabbed Danyal by her wrist and began leading her out of the interrogation room. "Let's get out of here!"

Jafar turned to the guards. "Alert Turbo that the brats are returning to his world!"

The toon rhino like minion raced towards Turbo and he screamed, "Hey Bug brain! The brats are going back to your world."

Turbo was delighted to hear that. He would have the pleasure of destroying the heroes back in his world. "Have my disguise and racecar ready!" he ordered.

Mint Fox muttered, "Now that gerbil will be-"

Turbo opened the door and he asked Mint Fox interrupting him, "What are you researching?"

Turbo looked at the article that Mint Fox was reading, and he stated as he shot a glare at the fox, "That gerbil is not the ideal host."

Mint Fox asked outraged and confused, "What Why?"

Turbo answered, "Someone named James Trotter managed to reach out to him."

The fox grunted in frustration, seeing that the idea of using Anakin wasn't going to work after all.

Turbo asked, "What are you pouting for fox?"

Mint Fox answered, "I don't understand why James would pick that kid."

Turbo was actually just as puzzled about that matter. He then wondered if James and Anakin represented the same element. But then that would mean that the two had connections. But Turbo thought that to be unlikely.

Mint Fox stated, "I have a speculation that Nausicaä woman has a godfather from James's family."

A toon anthropomorphic penguin servant wearing an eyepatch on his eye named Jasper entered the computer room carrying a folder containing Nausicaä's information.

Jasper commented in a satisfied tone, "The racecars are ready and waiting. Here's that lady's info."

Turbo smiled, "Perfect. Once I cross the finish line, I get to permanently keep my position."

He began to head to the racecars with Mint Fox following, but not before turning to face Jasper.

Turbo warned, "Don't get any ideas about doing anything reckless in this room."

"Yes, sir," the penguin replied.

Jasper began researching more information about cases similar to Anakin's and to his shock, he found articles of a similar tragedy with one Koichi Kimura.

Koichi was a boy from a different world whose mind and soul were also transported to another world. According to the article, Koichi was trying to follow his twin brother whom he had never met before. But in the process, there was an accident. Koichi took a fatal fall and as he lost consciousness, his mind and soul were transported to the Digital World.

Speaking of the Digital World, Jasper remembered Frollo asking Turbo to do some research on a few creatures that accompanied those people he saw from the Warner Domain. According to Turbo, those creatures were Digimon.

This caused a lot of astonishment, even to the Dark Masters. No one in the Disney Domain had seen Digimon in years; not since Jetix and Toon Disney came to an end.

Jasper began to download the information.

Once the racecars were ready, Turbo and Reynard got back in their disguises and returned to Sugar Rush. Turbo was determined to win the race and take over not only Sugar Rush, but every game in the arcade. And he would not let anyone stand in his way.

Natius asked a nearby anthropomorphic sour ball, "Did you happen to see a small group that have a similar height as mine?"

"No, I haven't. Not since the incident that occurred before the race."

Natius asked, "Do you know of a young man named Zander?"

The name was unfamiliar to Sour Bill. "I don't know of any such name."

Natius began to look around and he asked, "Where's the racetrack?"

Mahad asked, "What?!"

Jeanette looked to the castle. "Maybe the others are in the dungeon."

Natius asked, "How do we break in and get them out?"

There was no need. In the distance, Bianca saw the rest of their group coming with Ralph, Vanellope, and Felix. It turned out Ralph had broken into the dungeon to free his friends. There, he saw the rest of the heroes being held prisoner. Ralph had just discovered beforehand that King Candy was an imposter trying to prevent Vanellope from racing because if she were to cross the finish line, the game would reset and she wouldn't be a glitch anymore and that would ruin King Candy's plans to take over not only Sugar Rush, but every game in the arcade. To Ralph, this meant that Vanellope and the others were innocent.

Natius asked, "Can you help us take down that cheating little bug?"

"Just leave it to me," Vanellope assured him. She started her racecar and hurried to join the race. There was nothing left to do now but watch.

Natius grabbed a seat and one candy civilian screamed, "Hey!"

"Move aside," Bianca demanded, pushing the villain.

The gumball was pushed away, and he stated in a snubbed voice, "Well excuse me, princess!"

Bianca grabbed the gumball and she commented, "You do not insult others around you! You might as well be called roadkill!"

She threw the gumball on the racetrack and the gumball began panicking as the racers began to start their race cars!

The race was going smoothly. Just like in any racing game, the players would get power-ups to use to their advantage.

"So far, so good," Jeanette said as she was watching.

The gumball narrowly avoided some of the cars, but was crushed by a car driven by Mint Fox!

Mint Fox began to use some ice on his car and he cried, "Make way! Candy crazed brats! I'm coming through!"

"Who is that guy?" Natius asked as he saw Mint Fox's image on the screen.

"I'm willing to bet he's an imposter too," Bianca assumed.

The screen changed, broadcasting a struggle between King Candy and Vanellope. As they struggled, King Candy was revealed to be Turbo, shocking most of the spectators.

Anakin grinned. "The cat's out of the bag. Turbo's been revealed for the sham he is."

The crowds started to loudly boo at Turbo and some of them want to pelt things at Turbo, but they did want to risk attacking Vanellope!

Things suddenly started to go from bad to worse as a swarm of cybugs suddenly appeared and began devouring everything in sight. Everyone had to be evacuated.

Unfortunately, Vanellope wouldn't pass through a barrier that would lead to the Game Central Station!

There was only one thing to do. The swarm of cy-bugs had to be destroyed. In order for that to be accomplished. They had to be drawn to one place. In this case, a beacon of light. Ralph got an idea and began hurrying to the summit of the tallest mountain in the game.

Ralph remembered that inside the mountain was a hot-springs made up of coco-cola and the summit of the mountain was made of mentos. He figured he could use his great strength to destroy the summit and cause all the mentos to land in the hot springs, creating an explosion he was sure would attract the cy-bugs.

Ralph reached the summit of the mountain and began to use his immense strength in an effort to destroy the summit and lure out the bugs!

Suddenly, a corrupted and mutated Turbo appeared and began fighting with Ralph.

Natius cried, "We have to help him!"

Zander argued, "No! You'll end up getting yourself digitized!"

As they were fighting, Turbo began carrying Ralph into the sky. Ralph broke free, hoping to create an impact strong enough to destroy the mountain summit.

When he crashed the summit plunged into the soda lava!

Seeing that Ralph was in danger, Vanellope began driving her racecar to the mountain, glitching along the way as she hurried to rescue him before he would get caught in the blast.

The volcano began to explode in a fury unleashing a powerful white light!

Mint Fox stopped his car and he began to put on sunglasses!

He cried, "Turbo!"

Natius looked around to see if Vanellope and Ralph were safe and to his relief, he saw Ralph and Vanellope in the chocolate lake!

Natius commented, "Eat your heart out, Mr. Wonka!"

With the cy-bugs destroyed, everyone started working together to repair the damage that was done in Sugar Rush.

Meanwhile, Mint Fox went to the summit hoping to find some trace of Turbo. He sighed and asked himself, "Oh, man, what do I do now? Should I go back to the Dark Masters and report Turbo's defeat?"

Mint Fox saw a portal leading to Forbidden Castle and decided to walk through it to report.

Maleficent was the first to notice him. She addressed him by his real name. "Reynard." She looked, but did not see Turbo with him. "And where is Turbo?"

The fox took a deep breath and exhaled sharply. "It pains me to say this, your excellency, but Turbo was defeated."

Maleficent snarled, "No!"

Reynard asked, "What shall we do?"

Jafar came to the throne room. "Relax, he'll be back." As they look at him, he tells them, "I assure you, we haven't seen the last of Turbo and neither have those brats."

Reynard was confused. "You mean it's possible he was able to escape?"

"Possibly," Jafar answered. "Though he may have taken some damage and would likely need to reconfigure. And once he reconfigures, he'll no longer have his mutations from the virus." He looks at the fox. "As I have said before, Reynard, we Dark Masters can't be gotten rid of that easily."

Reynard stated, "All right."

Back in Sugar Rush, Felix finished repairing the finish line. Once Vanellope crossed, the game began to reset itself. Sugar Rush was restored and Vanellope was no longer a glitch. In fact, she was the rightful ruler of Sugar Rush.

Natius stated to Vanellope, "Thanks for helping us out."

"Sure," she replied. She looked to Ralph and thanked him as well.

"But I should be thanking all of you for helping me as well," she added. "You helped me to become who I was meant to be and you saved Sugar Rush."

"We didn't do much," said Anakin.

Mahad asked, "Where to now?"

Danyal stated, "We need to find Mr. Virgil."

"Why not stay?" Vanellope suggested. "We can hold a celebration for saving Sugar Rush and defeating Turbo."

"Sure," Zander answered. "Will there be any food besides candy?"

Natius politely refused. "Sorry, but we can't stay. Danyal's right. We need to find our teacher and a way home."

Ralph couldn't stay either. He and Felix had to return to their game before it would get unplugged for being out of order.

Mahad asked, "What worlds are next?"

Oliver and Figaro nodded at each other. "The time has come for you to face the final Dark Master," said the orange kitten.

"Your next destination is Medieval Paris," Figaro added. "There you will meet the warriors who represent the following elements: valor, mercy, beauty, and miracles."

Most of the heroes shuddered, knowing it would come to this. The lot of them were not looking forward to having to face Frollo.

Natius had a question. "Is it possible we might see these warriors of Millennia you told us about?"

Again, the kittens looked at each other. "We can't make any guarantees that you might. But considering the fact that they have been sighted in Paris, it may be possible," Figaro replied.

Mana asked, "Do you think that Dark Master can tell us how to free Mr. Virgil?"

"Are you crazy?" Bianca asked. "We're talking the cruelest of the cruel, the meanest of the villains. There's no way he'd be any more cooperative. He'd likely kill us the moment he would see us."

Danyal added, "Plus Frollo is a bigoted imbecile that is prejudiced against those who are in different ethnicities. Therefore, we're probably going to have to get transformed into animals native to France for that reason."

The kittens looked at each other, surprised. "You're willing to be transformed?" Oliver asked.

"I suppose we'll have to transform into the same animals we were when we met Belle," Mahad assumed.

"Well, at least Frollo won't recognize us," said Jeanette. "I mean, I hope he won't."

Bianca asked, "Why do we have to be transformed?"

Mahad looked at her. "You said it yourself. If Frollo sees us, he'll likely try to kill us."

Danyal added, "Plus some of us are from different ethnicities I hate the thought of you guys getting killed because of those differences."

With that being settled, Figaro took a small sack of magic powder. With it, the heroes would be able to transform into animals. Before he began to use it on the heroes, Oliver said, "Wait," stopping him. "Maybe we should use it too, so we don't get recognized. If Frollo sees us with a group of animals, he'll know that it's Natius and the others."

Figaro stated, "That's a good point."

"But what will you turn yourselves into?" Jeanette asked.

"I was thinking Figaro and I should be humans," Oliver answered.

Mahad asked, "What?"

"I think that's a little too conspicuous," Figaro told him.

Mahad suggested, "Why not disguise yourself as kittens."

Figaro replied, "I'm older than you think. I have been around for 72 years and there's a good chance that I might become an older cat and give away our position."

"Can't you use the magic powder to turn invisible?" Zander suggested.

Oliver stated, "Good idea!"

So, the kittens used the magic powder to turn themselves invisible. After that, they used it to turn the heroes into animals.

Natius was turned into a small rat, Jeanette was a mouse dressed in a light blue battle dress, Zander was turned into a black mink, Mana and Mahad were polecats, Vandela was a European Badger, Bianca was turned into a European hare, Omar was turned into a Mouflon, and Toboé was turned into a European wolf, Anakin was turned into a Beech marten, Danyal was turned into a Eurasian magpie, and Nausicaä was turned into a majestic golden eagle.

Omar noticed the van was being transported to King Mickey's castle and he asked, "What are you guys going to do with the van?"

"We've decided to send it to King Mickey's castle as a safety measure," said Figaro's voice.

Omar stated, "Good thinking."

Natius sharply inhaled. "Let's get this over with." His friends agreed.

So the heroes found a portal leading to the world of Medieval Paris and walked through.

Meanwhile in the Forbidden Castle, Jafar was discussing about the whereabouts of the heroes, now that Turbo had been defeated.

Maleficent ordered Jafar, "Get Frollo to the throne room. I need to tell him something."

"Very well," he replied, and headed to his chambers to find him.

Frollo was in his chambers, and he was hoping to confront Natius and his friends.

Frollo heard a knock on the door and hear the voice of Jafar yelling for him.

Frollo asked, "What do you want?"

"Maleficent has requested your presence."

Frollo began to follow Jafar to the throne room to see Maleficent.

Frollo asked Maleficent, "What is it?"

"The flame brat and his friends are heading to your world," she informed him.

Frollo softly grunted. He knew it would come to this, as much as he wished it wouldn't.

Jafar cried, "I sense another element in the world. It's love. Like the princess you were ranting about."

Frollo asked, "What?"

Even Maleficent was baffled. "That's impossible. The element of love has been passed down through a line of bears over the generations. There's not a human being who represents that element. Not in our domain, anyway."

"But don't forget," Jafar was saying, "the bear was once a young human man."

Frollo asked, "What do you mean? Was the young man cursed?"

"Not necessarily," Jafar was saying. "The young man angered the spirits of his ancestors by killing a bear. The spirits transformed him into a bear as punishment for his actions and to put him through a trial of understanding and accepting his element."

"He may have been a bear on the outside, but inside was still a human soul," Maleficent muttered.

"Like Mor'Du, the bear the young princess Merida battled," Jafar said, recalling how the spirit of a human prince was released after the bear's death."

"What are you going on about?" Frollo asked. "Are you telling me I should expect to see a bear in my world?"

Jafar answered, "Yes."

Jafar asked, "What's the matter, scared of a bear?"

Frollo argued, "No."

"You should be," Jafar told him. "You can't protect yourself. Bears have brute strength and are known for savagely attacking their enemies. Even your soldiers would be no match."

Maleficent added, "That robe won't protect you from the four-inch sharp claws used for digging."

One of the minions began to laugh at Frollo.

The minister looked at his comrades. "I know the dangers that a bear can pose. Besides, I have faced dangerous creatures before."

"Are you referring to those harmless little animals?" Jafar asked in a tone that sounded like he was teasing him.

"They weren't ordinary animals," Frollo told him.

"Still, I find it funny that you would allow yourself to be outwitted by bunny rabbits and kitty cats." Jafar teased.

Frollo glared at him. "At least I didn't suffer the same humiliating experience that the swine did."

Frollo groaned. "One warrior of love was enough to deal with. I don't see why I should have to worry about another."

Frollo was about to leave for his world, but Maleficent stopped him. "I have one last warning for you: if the situation gets out of hand, you will lose more than just your position as a Dark Master."

"It won't be a problem," he assured her.

"I'm serious," she said. "If you can't control your lust, I'll have you suffer a fate worse than death."

Frollo understood the consequences he would face if he took it too far. He knew his priority was to find and deal with the heroes, but he also wanted to get back at the princess. "I know what I have to do," he finally said. "However, I want you to know beforehand that if in the event I see the princess, I intend to make her pay for making a fool out of me."

Maleficent decided to let him have it this once. "Fine. If it will give you some relief, I will let you. But you do know the penalty if you take it too far."

He did know and he had to remember to be careful. "There won't be any problems," he said again.

"For your sake, I hope not," she replied.

With that, Frollo dismissed himself from the throne room and headed for his world.

Maleficent cleared her throat. "Speaking of the Warner Domain, Jafar, I hear you were able to obtain some newfound information regarding the magpie and her misadventure. Care to share?"

Jafar answered, "Glinda had a decoration on her wand."

"What kind?" Maleficent asked.

"The magpie said it was a power that was not her own," Jafar answered. "It was the shape of an eye. Probably an eye of another being."

Malelficent stated, "It might be the eye of the Nome King himself."

"The Nome King?" Ursula asked.

"From what I've been told, the Nome King manipulated Glinda. Whatever good was left in her called the magpie into the Warner Domain for help. Unfortunately, the magpie was not able to succeed in rescuing Glinda, so her soul was sealed," Jafar explained. "And now,"

"What is it?" Maleficent asked.

"Regarding the Heroes of Millennia, maybe they stumbled into our domain for the same reason," he replied. "Even the magpie figured that perhaps a higher being asked them for help."

Maleficent was baffled. She knew King Mickey had an alliance with the Justice Trinity, but he wouldn't resort to asking help from heroes from another domain unless something was going on that would put both domains in jeopardy.

Ursula stated, "So you're saying that magpie is connected to both domains. Did she really weaken the seal of Bald Mountain?"

"She says it's unlikely that she would because the domains are rivals," Jafar was saying. "But, yes, she is of both domains. She is Dorothy Gale's descendant, hence why the spirit of Glinda would try reaching her."

"I suppose we can't blame the magpie entirely for weakening the seal," Maleficent was saying. "But it doesn't change the fact that the borders between the domains are not as strong as they used to be with people being able to come and go more often than they should be allowed to."

"I'd hate to imagine what disaster would come from something like that," Ursula commented.

"Something did happen before," Maleficent was saying. "Long ago, Thomas Allen-son had an encounter with Sarah Ravencroft, a witch from the Warner Domain. When Nakoma found out that Thomas had been killed by Sarah, she shot the witch with the power of the spirit of a doe. After Sarah was put to death, the borders between the domains were expanded and heavily guarded to prevent something like thaf from happening again."

Jafar cried, "Wow. I can't imagine what she did to Thomas."

"From what I've heard, she was trying to seduce him, but when he refused, she began to torment him with her spells, ensuring he would suffer slowly and painfully," Maleficent continued. "Then she tried to convince the people that Thomas was trying to kill her. Of course, no one believed Sarah since they knew she was a witch."

She got up from her throne. "Sarah's current living descendants are Ben Ravencroft and his son Josiah."

"Where are they now?" Ursula asked.

"Ben is currently imprisoned in the Warner Domain for his crimes. As for his son, I do not know. I have read that his estranged ex-wife took custody of that boy."

Frollo asked, "Why does Ravencroft sound like Jafar?"

Jafar didn't like the way he said that. "I beg your pardon?"

Frollo smirked and said, "Well, you seem to like using your magic to torture your victims."

"I'm nothing like Ravencroft," Jafar protested.

Frollo pointed out, "Plus you both use deception to get your goals met."

Jafar scoffed. "At least I'm more than Ravencroft will ever amount to be."
