Iagoing Out of Control

Iagoing Out Of Control is the Gilbert Gottfried Memorial Special of Season 3B of the SpongeBob and Friends Adventures Chronicles series. Iago faces the worst depression ever since the passing of his voice actor. As a result of denial, he has been avoiding immediate invitation to the same club Batty is a part of and is very clearly going through the five stages of grief, being stuck in the first two, denial and anger. Icky, aiming to cheer Iago up, and also to avoid a repeat of when Batty went through such a woe, he takes Iago on a double-date with Thundera and Gilda to go to a part of Agrabah where all the parrots come from, a rain forest tropic area within Thundera's rainforest, which of course they had to take the teleporter device since Deadpool wrecked the van as a means to prevent repeat Equestria adventures. Iago is given a chance to re-connect with fellow birds of his homeworld, but found that his domesticated life has left him too disconnected to interact properly with the way the birds live. However, things take a turn when feathered serpents like Malcho invaded the area and started to snag parrots left and right, and our four heroes were closed to being next until they were rescued by, the most unlikely of allies: Malcho himself. Naturally, Thundera was cautious of typical foul play and called out Malcho of being a part of it, alongside some caution of it being another League affair! But Malcho barely manages to earn the group's willing ear by explaining that the serpents that were attacking the parrots were his former tribe, explaining that he was once the rightful leader until defeated by his brother, Malcaliantie, who forced himself as the mate of Malcho's mate, Queen Mi'Amore, and aims to "Rule all of the Skies" by putting all bird and/or flight capable creatures under his roof so to aim to awaken the elder god serpent of the skies and a key creator of the world of Agrabah, with Malcho admitting that his "Tyranny with the Weather Medallion" was him training with the powers to be able to one-up Malcaliantie since on his own without such, Malcaliantie is a strong serpent. Seeing the obvious danger of a serpent worse than Malcho with Elder God powers, the four reluctantly agree to help Malcho rescue his former tribe, WITH the firm condition he won't try to get them to help out in the league afterwards, and if possible, that Malcho himself quits the league in return that the info relating to the whole arrangement of said league membership be obscure to his tribe. Can our four heroes handle an uneasy alliance with Thundera's and Iago's old foe to stop a worse new one, especially if they are all that's available since Deadpool wrecked the van and that the Lodgers are caught in something else as they are doing this?

Scene

Leaving the Colorbird Village

• (Malcho was seen watching the Colorbirds and the Weather Birds celebrating together)
• ???: Out in the open? After the main villain was defeated? (Icky and Iago were seen, as Iago was talking) Pretty risky if you ask me.
• Malcho: Even a leaguer like myself can take peace in the day being won. Well, to assume I would remain this for long that's to say.
• Icky: True. Though like shouldn't ya be with the other Flying Serpents now with them being free and Junk from Malcaliante?
• Malcho: "I, want to give Mi'Amore time to discuss things with the Elder Quezts first. Smooth out my uh.... Past with them."
• Icky: Yeah that checks out. Hey, Iago, weren't you going to say goodbye to your folks?
• Iago: Ah, I've already said my goodbyes. Of course, my ma had a cry, and that got me going. (Sobs)
• Icky: Wimp.
• Iago: "Well exCUUUUUUSE ME if I'm already too emotional as is right now with this entire adventure!"

After the Adventure.

• Icky: "Ya know what, cause of how insane all of that was, how's about we take a nice due break."

Time up Until Present day later.

• Icky: "WOW we got aggressive on that break! This episode was in production in literally 2022, and we ended up in 2024 by the end of the break!"
• Iago: "It's also cause of the SAF EU stuff being a bit front and center."
• Icky: "But it's not to say we didn't get any action during that time. Remember that Dragon Knight stuff?"

(TBA After Dragon Knight Revamp's Finished). (Give or take MSM being back)

Transcript

Previously... (Deadpool: :X)

Previously on SpongeBob and Friends...

• Deadpool: (He's seen sneaking into the Shell Lodger Garage and carrying some explosives in his arms) Okay, we only get one shot at this, so we better not mess this up. How much do we need to blow this joint up?
• WB Deadpool: If you're talking about the van, and assuming they haven't made it indestructible, by which I mean Deadpool-proof, I'd say about 75 kilograms.
• YB Deadpool: What?! Ugh, I hate the metric system! How much in American?
• WB Deadpool: Let’s see, uh, carry the seven, and uhhhh-
• Deadpool: Dude, f*** math, just use whatever it takes! (Puts explosives on and inside the van)

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!

• YB Deadpool: (Deadpool was seen outside the temple, hiding in a bush) OH YEAH! THAT WAS AWESOME!
• WB Deadpool: I told you, 75 kilograms! That was pretty sweet, though.
• Deadpool: How's that for Deadpool-proof bitches?! (to the readers) There! They're not going back to Equestria to stall for any more original stories! Hope you guys are happy to see Tiki again! Give or take something special that is happening AT THE SAME TIME?!
• WB Deadpool: "Ya do realize it might be just that episode that's a break, right, cause immediately after is-"
• Deadpool: "Hey at least it's the ONE episode that gives Equestria Missions some PAUSE! Just, roll with it! Now, on with the show!"

Chapter 1: The Depression of Iago

(In the Temple...)

• Icky: (He came out of Iago’s room)… Well, he’s screamed so much he lost his voice. Oh the irony.
• Sparx: Ugh. We’re REALLY gonna be doing these kinds of episodes EVERY time one of our voice actors shuffles off the mortal coil? For some reason, I feel like we’re being forgotten because something more EXCITING is happening somewhere else in the multiverse. Well, OURS anyway.
• Tulio: Well, he’ll hopefully get over it and HE won’t end up taking Gilb’s soul for days on the town. Grimsy wouldn’t LIKE it if that happened again.
• Skipper: (Hears the explosion) WHAT IN THE NAME OF CANDIED YAMS?!… Rico, no weapons testing indoors! We have a funeral to prepare.
• Rico: Wa-n’t me.
• Skipper: "...... Yo, Shen, were you testing your cannons again?"
• Shen: "No, no maintenance checks were done today-...... SPONGEBOB, WHAT DID YOU BREAK THIS TIME?!"
• SpongeBob: IT WASN'T ME THIS TIME, I SWEAR!
• Private: And it wasn't Kowalski. In fact, I think it came from the garage.
• Icky: "(Came in and stopped when hearing that)..... Oh f*** no, please don't tell me that means what I think that means?!"

Garage

• SpongeBob: (They see the van totally destroyed with moiwah moiwah music) FLAPPING FLOTSAM, OUR VAN!!!!
• Lord Shen: (Dubbed as Mr. Herriman) WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?! WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?!
• Kolwalski: "Okay, (Puts on detective hat and brings out magnifying glass) We'll have to dedicate a lot of time and effort to- (Suddenly ditches them) Oh who am I kidding, IT'S DEADPOOL!!!"
• Private: But why?
• Icky: "I bet ya it's because he got fed up with the MLP marathon from before."
• Lord Shen: (He is close to bursting in anger, but surprisingly quickly calms down)...... We'll have to worry about that later... Right now, we have to honor a great actor.
• Icky: "..... Wow. Usually you'd be mount Vevousivious in a Peacock's body right about now."
• Lord Shen: It’s pronounced VESUVIUS!
• Icky: WHATEVER! But yeah..... We need to do that for Iag's sake. (Ringing was heard)… Speaking of which, that must be Iag’s voice twins. (They opened the door and found all the Gilbert Gottfried characters)… Called it.
• Aflac Bird: (Crying) AFLAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAC!!!
• Icky: Don’t worry, we’ll get insurance from you in Gilb’s honor. Come on in. (They entered much to everyone’s mixed feelings)
• Penguin: GLAD I AIN’T FREEZING MY NUTS OFF AGAIN!
• Icky: Oh, I LOVE THAT VIDEO!!!
• Penguin:… You haven’t seen Farce of the Penguins, dumbass?!
• Icky:… Apparently not.
• Mxyzptlk: Look, buddy, we aren’t here to-
• Icky: HEY!!! NO DC CHARACTERS!!!! You see the rule sign on the way in?! (A copy of the Wiki’s Rules and Guidelines page was seen at the entrance)
• Mxyzptlk:… I’m not a strong reader. Also, CHARACTERIST!!! And even then, wasn't that rule amended to now being a bit okay now?
• Icky: Is "Characterist" even a word? Ah, f*** it, it works. Also, even then, you're abit too unpredictable to work with as is, so, you're gonna have to wait until these guys are off camera and you're invited to that dead voice actor's club again to get with this group again.
• Chaos: I got this. (He mind-controlled him)
• Mxyzptlk: KLTPZYXM! (He vanished)
• Digit: THANK YOU!
• Widget: Yeah! I know WE’RE ones to talk, but HE WAS ANNOYING!!!
• Million Ways To Die In The West Abraham: HIYA SCHMUCKS!!! FOUR SCORE AND SEVEN YEARS AGO, I WAS BRO-
• Wendell: IDIOT, THAT WAS NOT FUNNY THE FIRST TIME!!!
• Billy and Mandy Santa: I cannot BELIEVE there’s more annoying people in these UUniverses who make me ashamed of my voice.
• Sal: GET USED TO IT, BECAUSE YOU AIN’T THE ONLY ONE!
• Barn Buddy: Get used to it?! We sound like dying birds!! (The doorbell rang as Squidward answered)
• Parrot Doctor: Yeah, uh, we’re with the pet hospital down the street and I understand you might have some dying talking birds on the premises.
• Squidward: Sorry, it's a gathering of characters voiced by Gilbert Gottfried.
• Parrot Doctor: Ohhhh. My apologies then- (Squidward slammed the doors)
• Barn Buddy: YA SEE?!?
• Penguin: I DON’T GIVE A S***!!! WE’RE PROUD OF OUR VOICES… Well, VOICE!
• Digit: "Now settle down, fellas. Our shared voice actor would've wanted us to get along better than this.... Say, where's our Brother from the Disney side of things?"
• Icky: "He's, still mopey. Annnnnnd a bit shot in the voice for saying no for a prolonged period of time."
• MWTDITW Abe: "Well how the HELL does he think WE FEEL?! I feel like I'm technically a ghost since I'm the only one of the life-action characters who showed up here?! AND ONE BASED ON A DEAD OLD CENTURY PRESIDENT?!"
• Billy and Mandy Santa: "I'm an odd one out too, buddy. I'm the ONE Santa that didn't have the traditional deep voice shtick the others have."
• Barn Buddy: "You're also the Santa that married a blood bank vampire."
• Billy and Mandy Santa: "Hey now, let's keep personal bis irrelevant, huh?"
• Digit: At least my voice is more reserved than the rest of you. And we should be grateful Barn Buddy here isn't exhibiting his "evil, erratic behavior" he was advertised to have.
• Barn Buddy: Only out of respect for our voice actor!
• Mxyzptlk's voice from a suddenly appearing portal: "For the record, I was asked to behave too for the OG Voice Actor's sake too?!"
• Icky: "Well sorry but our producer's a bit limiting about how quick he wants to include Marvel and DC characters too much into this barring exceptions of his choosing."
• Mxyzptlk's Voice: "Well can I at least be allowed a cameo?"
• Digit: "Technically, ya were."
• Mxyzptlk's Voice: "Oh..... Well I'll see you guys after the funeral when we get into that club, IF off-camera on this episode, I guess."

Meanwhile in Iago's room

• Iago is still depressed about his only voice actor's death, when Genie peeks in.
• Genie: Boy... and I thought I was blue. Hey, Iago, I don't mean to intrude or anything, but you're gonna be late for your own actor's funeral service.
• Iago: "(Laringitis'd and depressed) Heaven forbid that happen, clearly."
• Genie: "Yikes. Ya did got a shot voice. So ya did say no for a prolonged period of time."
• Iago: I just can't believe that Gilbert's dead. How could this happen?
• Icky: "(Looking up his Wikipedia page) It said that "On April 12, 2022, at the age of 67, Gottfried died in Manhattan from recurrent ventricular tachycardia, complicated by type II myotonic dystrophy. He had not made his condition public.". Well basically it's a fancy way of saying he had heart problems-"
• Iago: "IT WAS RHETORICAL, YOU PREHISTORIC NUMBSKULL?!........ (Cries).... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm, emotional right now, I'm not myself at the moment."
• Icky: We all aren’t in our heads after our voice actors’ deaths. But not ALL of us. When David Ogden Stiers died, Jumba had the decency to cry on the inside. When Don Rickles died, Cornwall only cried for a single day, which compared to the other drama queens, is impressive. Plus, some of us are characters from the early-to-mid 1900s, like the Wonderlandians. They have voice acters that have been dead for a GOOD WHILE NOW, and they handled it just fine.
• Genie: Uh, should you try beginning that sentence with 'sorry'?
• Icky: "..... Alright, yeah, I'm sorry too, I did NOT read the room properly there, it was just something I was curious about and looked it up. Well now we know, right?"
• Iago: "Does it really make it better?"
• Icky: "...... Truth be told, I.... I ain't sure there's a right or wrong answer for that. But, at best it could be, closure for why it's the case."
• Iago: "Well the fact he didn't make it public makes it WORSE?! I wasn't emotionally prepared for this?!"
• Genie: "Yeah, I hear ya. Batty and Me weren't prepared for Robin to buy the farm on us too."
• Icky: Yeah, but Batty took it worse than you did, and I don't like to mention that incident so loosely, especially in times like this. Added to that, that became a controversial episode because it wasn't considered a "Proper Tribute" to Robin, heck, Shen even started to make it a thing to preemptively prevent another "Batty Situation" by doing a thing that we have to babysit the griever, even more so ever since how Spongebob and Patrick handled their show creator's death not that far ago in the season.
• Iago: "I just can't believe this. Why didn't Gilbert let the world know about this?"
• Icky: "Iags, him making this public probably wouldn't have a guarantee that he wouldn't still, go the way he did. Conditions like what he had, don't just stop just from having a high number of people knowing about it."
• Iago: "...... But that's just it. It wasn't like it was cancer or anything, don't we have modern medicine that's suppose to stop things like this?"
• Icky: "Well, yeah, that stopped people from dying AS OFTEN as back in the old eras, but it didn't just CANCEL death. It's sadly one of those, delayed inevitabilities at best. We HAVE brought people back to life before, starting with Megara, but, I think Death himself-"
• (Deadpool): OR HERSELF!
• Icky: SHUT UP, VAN WRECKER, LADY DEATH OF THE MARVEL UNIVERSE OF THINGS IS A RARE OUTLIER AND YA KNOW IT, DEATH IS OFTEN A DUDE IN OTHER UNIVERSES?!… Is NOT willing to let us do anything about our deceased comrades, like Stoick or Mufasa. The former only being a surprise death while the latter, kinda has a stronger role as a spirit anyway.
• Iago: "..... Sometimes I question on, whether it was right of us to stop any of those kind of villains that are trying to discover immortality or just, over all stop death."
• Icky: "Hey careful with that kinda talk, that triggers Shen to be extra strict as s*** on ya! And honestly, a lot of those villains are often either just doing that to help themselves, are potentially either insane or too scared of death to appreciate life for what it is, or often cause the power they are after is either too dangerous, risks abuse or is taboo enough that it pisses off associated gods or entities, and even THEN, ya know how the High Council are stern about "respecting balance" and what not! Even MORE so ever since this series started having a cosmology where we have Outer Gods that are EASILY triggered at any dimension being OP or off balanced! And I'm DAMN sure this series alone has said Immortality is HORRENDOUSLY OVERRATED AND OVERHYPED?! Remember MORALITY ILLNESS?! Ya saw that f****d up s*** in action before and what it does to gods or immortals that don't play to their alignment?!"
• Genie: (Turns into Meme Eggman) SILENCE! (Icky and Iago were shaken up as he turns back to normal) Sorry, it's just, Iago's under a lot of pressure. Whaddya say we attend the funeral service, and we'll work something out after that?
• Icky: "Tch, yeah I felt like that's X wanting the show on the road. Fine, but for Iago's sake, not cause X is pushing the plot along and limiting character development and lore building."

The funeral.

• The Gilbert Characters are all gathered with Iago front and center.
• Lord Shen: And so, it is with great sadness that we mourn the departure of Gilbert Gottfried, the Man of the Funniest Bird Voices. His voice and legacy will live on for all of eternity.
• The doves were released by the wolves.
• Lord Shen: "Iago will be permitted to say the final words."
• Digit: "Well honestly it would still be like we heard it from our own words, so no complaints from any of us."
• Barn Buddy: "Well that and he's more or less the animated progenitor to a lot of us and arguably existed first, so it's his automatic right to send the Big G off."
• Icky: Do your best, Iags.
• Iago: I'll try. (Clears throat)… Gilbert Gottfried was the greatest star I've known in 1001 Arabian Nights. Would you believe before he voiced me, he was a toaster in a Pop Tarts commercial?
• Said Toaster: I’M RIGHT HERE, YOU KNOW, AND SINCE 1996, I’VE STILL BEEN RAGING WITH EMOTION HERE!! (He popped out Pop Tarts)
• Iago:… Sheesh. Some of us need to get a life. Ahem. Anyway, he voiced me for many years before his death... well, that and the unfortunate remake where I was given a second voice-- well, technically third because Seth Green voiced me in a Robot Chicken sketch, but let's keep that out of the way for now. May I get a new, better vocal role in the future, and may he long rest in peace. Gilbert, I hope you continue to delight in the heavens. (The group applauds)
• Digit: "Well said."

Heaven

• Gilbert Gottfried:… AND SO I SAID, "WHERE DID YOU GET THAT PARROT, AT MY HOUSE?!" And then HE said "No, I got it from a regular pet store where the owner watched Aladdin a LOT!" (Everyone laughed) And that ain’t a joke, that actually happened to me once. (They laughed)
• Robin Williams: l REALLY missed HIM.

Living Realm

• Iago: So… Let’s not screw up this funeral like we did Robin’s.
• Batty: Trust me, man, we do NOT joke around with death anymore… Unless we gotta cope. And even then it has to be done with good taste or at least funny enough that it can be pardon as it being meant to be like Family Guy style humor.... Even for as much as Family Guy has a mixed reputation now.
• Icky: "Yeah they started to just do whatever they want to the point that them being "Shocking" is ironicly not surprising anymore. In fact it's just them trying too hard now. And that's the NICE way to describe them."
• Iago: So… Anyone know how to play Amazing Grace on the bagpipes or something?
• Wendell: HAH! You toothless imperfect beaked lunatic, THAT’S been better served at LEONARD NIMOY’S funeral years ago. Uhhh… What songs did Gilbert sing in life?
• Iago: Ones that aren’t mine? Not much we can think of that’s appropriate for a funeral. So… Let’s just give a moment of silence. (They did that as many of them sobbed)
• Digit:… *Sniff*… I’m impressed with us. Gilb’s characters are usually loud and obnoxious.
• Aflac Bird: AFLAAAHAHAHAAAC!!!
• Iago:… Close enough…. We’ll miss you, man.

Chapter 2: A Planned Road Trip- I mean, Teleport Trip

Later…

• MYTDITW Abe: See ya at the CVBDC?
• Iago: Yeah yeah, sure sure. If I’m in the mood.
• Batty: C’mon, Iags, they ARE helpful at making you feel better.
• Iago: Aren’t villains there too? INCLUDING some of OUR enemies?
• Batty: Villains gotta have lives too. They were pretty much BORN to be villains.
• Iago: Still. Many of them like Mrs. Beakley got a ticket out of there thanks to a reboot. Some of us? Not so much.
• Icky: Hey, canon works in mysterious ways.
• Iago: Yeah, but… You know what? Not talking anymore. (He left)
• Lord Shen:… We must let him cope. He needs time to himself.
• Sandy: "Pretty much how this is supposed to work."
• SpongeBob: I have a feeling that’s not how this is going to work, though. It’s a cartoon show made by two wildcard fans of my show, one of them a former obsessive fan of Sandy, and and other introduced essentially an off-canon story of our lives into becaming its own timeline when original events turned for the creator’s disliking.
• Sandy:… Pretty colorful way to define the show.
• SpongeBob: And again, feels like said producers hardly touch on us because of the SAF EU ends up getting more attention.
• Shenzi: SpongeBob? My main sponge man? What have I always said about going too meta?
• SpongeBob:… It bores the audience.
• Shenzi: Exactly. So tone it down a notch. Don’t want our audience dying prematurely. So if you’re sure Iago isn’t going to just get over his VA’s death alone since things are HARDLY normal anymore, then what-
• Icky: "Shenzi, the chapters alone already suggest what needs to be done next, we don't need to meander at this."
• Shenzi: "...... (Sighs)."
• Icky: ".... Okay fine, non-metanese it is then! I was thinking of having Iago to go on a double date with Thundera and Gilda on Thudnera' forest home in Agrabah."
• Banzai: "Might be kinda hard to do bro, with the fact DEADPOOL BUSTED OUR VAN TO HALT ANOTHER MLP-BASED EPISODE?!"
• Icky: "Well if canon knowledge serves, we have a teleporter device that's meant to serve as a stand-in to whenever the van's crippled."
• Lord Shen: "That it does, but it kinda needs to be available at all times-"
• Icky: "Shen, for as much Shenzi now has a newfound distaste for meta jokes, I think I can safely say that the plot isn't doing anything other then what this episode is gonna tackle later on and I don't think we're due for minor joke villains for this."
• Sandy: "Also, I think Iago could really use cheering up."
• Lord Shen: ".... This is something that is mandated now. Very well, but this would mean we would have to put the van on an advanced state of immediate repairs and send a signal to the worlds that we may be crippled at the moment, just be sure to bring a communicator to warn us of any serious problems if possible."
• Icky: "Yes, Angry Peacock Dad."
• Lord Shen: "(Rolls eyes) You are taking this seriously, right?"
• Icky: "Relax, relax, I am, just thought I jab in some humor at ya making alot of this "in-advancement" stuff of when/if trouble shows up."
• Lord Shen: "There's no shame in keeping your guard up."

Later

• Someone knocks on Iago's door...
• Iago: Go away!
• Thundra: Iago, it's me.
• Iago: Oh, well, then, come in.
• Thundra came in.
• Thundra: "Iago, I get you are muy muy hurting, but, Icky has something to offer you to cope with your voice acter, moving on from us."
• Iago: "This being?"
• Thundra: "A double-date in my rainforest in the world of Agrabah."
• Iago: "..... Well, some time at home would be nice."
• Thundra: "Iago, I know you're distressed but- Oh, I see you said si to this."
• Iago: "Well honestly, it's healthy to be with loved ones in times of sadness.... That and Shen's gonna mandate that I do this to get over it, you seen how strict that albino peacock is."
• Thundra: "Well, it'll give us plenty of an ability to catch up on old times."
• Iago: You mean when I first met you because Agrabah needed water, and Aladdin decided I play bachelor just to steal one of your rainclouds?
• Thundera: I meant memories outside of those.
• Iago: Like when you joined us because you mistook the Hyenas abducting me as a kidnapping when we were on that Prehistoric Madagascar with Aladar?
• Thundera: Why were you even there, anyway?
• Iago: We needed SOME random location to try a crazy exercise in hot potato training to keep a key item out of villain hands, and Whiskers took it a LITTLE too seriously and scored the wrong side. (Whiskers voice) I’M OOPPPEEEN… Okay, I’m closed.
• Thundera: Aye crumba- I MEANT GOOD MEMORIES, MUST I BE MORE SPECIFIC!!
• Iago: I’m just joking, babe. C’mooon, you know me. Also, glad to have Charlie Adler as my voice for a change.
• Thundera: You have time before a likely VA larynx surgery. So what say we not rehash Batty’s VA death episode and go to my world?
• Iago:… Even if it wasn't being mandated by Shen to prevent such a case anyway, I’d like that. I'd earnestly like that.... As long as MALCHO has nothing to do with it.
• Thundera: When have we ever seen HIM?
• Iago: When have we ever seen the VILLAIN LEAGUE?
• Thundera: I’m guessing they’re still going through woes of their own since they lost the Princesses of Heart and have to give up on that cause of the idea being tainted to them now with Nega-Xehanort's betrayal and what not.
• Iago: Ahhh, they’ll get over it. That plan was getting too old anyway…. Why WAS Nega-Xehanort an Outer God?
• Thundera: Are you still on about that, mi amor?
• Iago: I think a LOTTA us are. But you're right, let's just assume that was part of the cosmotogity train Scroopfan's using and call it quits on that. C’mon, let’s hit the bricks.
• Mad Hatter suddenly charged in and punched a brick wall!
• March Hare: "(Shows up) BRICKS HIT?!"
• Iago: "NOT LITERALY, YOU MORONS?!..... Also, THIS AIN'T YOUR EPISODE?!"
• Mad Hatter: "Oh, we know. Just making the most of the limited appearance before ya set of on what's technically another Icky and Iago adventure. Hohoho! OWCH, JUST NOTICED THE PAIN FROM PUNCHING A BRICK WALL, OWWW!?"
• Thundera:… Let us be off.

Later…

• Wendell: So then she said "NO TEETH!"
• AMTODITW Abe: SHEESH, man, what is your old man's obsession with teeth?
• Digit: When you have oversized chompers like THAT, how can’t they?
• Iago: SHEN!
• Lord Shen: Ahhh. You’re in a better mood. Perhaps Thundera did the trick… Like usual.
• Thundera: We shall be off to Agrabah to my home forest.
• Icky: Wow, I was just about to ask I take ya to a double date between me and Gilds for that.
• Brandy: Yeah, if we had our FREAKIN VAN!!!
• Mytzptlk: Hey, COMIC-HATERS! Look who I FOUND! ANOTHER COMIC BOOK LOSER! (He brought out Deadpool)
• Deadpool: IT WASN’T ME! IT WAS THE ONE-ARMED MAN!!
• Mr. Whiskers: Huh? How can someone blow up a space van with just one arm? Monoplegics are usually bad at things like that.
• Boss Wolf: It means a guy with a gun, dumbass.
• Mr. Whiskers: Oh… Then just say that.
• Lord Shen: You are SO DEAD, HUNDREDS OF TIMES!
• Deadpool: WELL, EXCUUUUUSE ME for wanting you guys to solve problems on OTHER WORLDS, especially when MSM is REALLY lagging off in favor of the SAF Expanded Universe with Amphibia, Kipo, Owl House, Star vs. The Forces of Evil, Gravity Falls, and Steven Friggin Universe. Scroopfan doesn't exactly help doing at least half of that other stuff with Security Breach and even doing stories for A WEB SERIES ON YOUTUBE OF ALL THINGS, SPRINKLED IN?!
• Icky: Don’t forget Star’s AUU timeline twin Astra. Also, the Security Breach stuff is Non-SAF material, none of what went down is canon to us, it's its own thing."
• Deadpool: Yeah that too, and second thing, but ya can't deny he certainly writes a certain way that ya can't help but feel it would debatably exist at least within our Multiverse.
• Icky: "Well judging he never released a Multiverse for that nor the fanfiction for said certain web series, I think he's keeping those stories separate as their own things."
• Lord Shen: Making the conversation go back to the subject, we COULD have done it on our own.
• Deadpool: YOU CAN’T KNOW THAT WHAT WITH THE RULE OF SPOILERS, ESPECIALLY SINCE NEXT EPISODE YOU GOTTA BEAT A T-REX, SPOILERS!! (Neuralyzer flashes were seen) So, YOU guys could do with fixing some issues HERE, since your asses were gone. The UUPD could use some help.
• Frank: It’s the UUR now.
• Deadpool: I REFUSE to call them that, they’re just p*****s who just changed the name because of a controversy that, while it should be taken seriously, is just another of an ongoing saga and even then, people have more or less moved on now.
• Icky: "Well it was largely done cause Axle and pals really need to be able to do their jobs without controversy holding them back, so, the re-branding is meant to make them controversy slog-proof."
• Deadpool: Tch.... Whatever happened to the rule of no real-life topics?
• Pang Bing: Well like we told Mytzptlk, our rules are getting more flexible. That and our writers simply at times forget to really adhere to them, give or take both. But YOU?! (She grabbed Deadpool) THIS subplot of both fixing up trouble in the Dragon Realms AND giving you what you deserve… IS GONNA BE FUN! But mostly the latter… STARTING WITH THIS! (She used a magic blade to stab him in the groin as he harmonized screaming) Good luck growing THOSE back.
• Deadpool: (Squeaky voice) OHHHH, SO GLAD I NEVER HAD CHILDREN… DO I?! LINKARA HAS THE CONTINUITY ALARM FOR A REASON, OWWWW!!
• WB Deadpool: Probably best not to think about it. And even if you did, they probably either got retconned or they're alternate marvel universe shenanigans.
• Iago:… Aaaaaaanyway, Shen? Can we use the Portal Remote?
• Lord Shen: It’s the only mode of otherworldly travel we have left until the van is fixed.
• Patrick: Wasn’t the van destroyed in our LAST mission? Merlin fixed it with magic.
• Merlin: SOME of us don’t want to do EVERYTHING with magic. If we just went around fixing everything with magic, would we NEED much of the Lodgers we have?
• Icky: "Well that and the plot isn't letting you guys quick-fixing this cause the rest of ya are gonna be needed for the next episode as it's gonna be one of those shared continuity things."
• Patrick: Ohhhhh. That makes sense.
• Deadpool: Sheesh, are the idiot Lodgers only good for saying dumbass lines nowadays?
• Patrick: I did smart things LAST episode. AND HERE’S SOMETHING THAT SMARTS!! (He kicked Deadpool in the groin)
• Deadpool: YAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! NOW IT’S GONNA TAKE LONGER TO HEAL!!!
• Patrick: Neptune knows you of all people should get a vasectomy.
• Deadpool: Joke’s on you. My healing factor won’t let that vasectomy happen anyway. It requires a LOTTA snipping. (As they argued, Shen just gave Iago and Thundera the portal remote and they with Icky and Gilda just went to Agrabah)

Agrabah, Thundra's Rainforest

• Icky: "(Breaths in), SMELL THAT NATURE?!"
• Gilda: "Certainly a nice change of pace from being exposed to Deadpool's, Deadpooliness."
• Iago: "Same!"
• Thundra: "It's extra special to me cause it's home."
• Iago: Yeah... I remember the first time I came here... And I feel like the canon continuity kinda confounds with SAF continuity-
• Icky: "Okay, like, to fix that, we can say that before the Mulan Adventure happened, you may had met Thundra in a non-canon way and work off from that."
• Iago: "Okay, fair enough, this series is always known for doing its own thing."
• Thundera:… I wonder how it has been since I left.
• Gilda: We spend more time home since the reevaluation began.
• Thundera: Si, but have you ever seen others like me before?
• Gilda:… Have we? (Icky and Iago shrugged unsure)
• Icky: "I mean, we did run into birds like Iago and birds like me, but never another bird like Thundra."
• Thundera: In that case, that changes right now!
• Icky: "Okay, but this may contradict a far-off future episode about meeting members of your kind-"
• Thundra: "Well if we did the Great Cycle hoopla early, we're going to do THIS early, only fair. (they flew off into the forest)"
• Iago: "I have to admit, there's a strange instinctual nostaglia from flying in a rainforest."
• Icky: GeeeEEEEEeeeeee, I wonder why?
• Iago: Yeah, I wonder WHYYYYYYYYY?! It’s not like PARROTS CAN BE COMMONLY FOUND IN A RAINFOREST!!!
• Gilda: UGGGGH, AND I WONDER HOW MUCH MORE ANNOYING YOU GUYS CAN GET! And in Ick’s case, NOT IN A CHARMING WAY!
• Thundera: AND I WONDER WHEN WE CAN ACTUALLY GET TO MY HOME!
• Iago: THANK YOU, BECAUSE I’M GETTING TIRED OF USING MY VOICE RIGHT NOW!!!
• Icky: "Yeesh, sorry, just practicing my right to sass here."
• Thundera: Allow me to guide you, mi amigos, and amor. I know this place like the back of my wing.
• Iago: You mean the back of your hand-wing?
• Thundera: Si, let’s go with that. Though that does open questions I'm not prepared to ask. (They flew off as they followed her, unaware that something serpentine was watching them in the shadows)
• Icky: "Yeah artist liberties from the 90s is becoming increasingly baffling these days, am I right?"
• Thundera: At least the quality of picture is not as bad as the episodes roughly available on YouTube.
• Icky: Yeah, especially since this is a Wiki article.
• Gilda: Oy. Starting this vacation REEEEAAAL well here.
• Iago: Oh sure, RELISH the idea of comedy ruining my vacation. Comedist.
• Icky: Okay now I know THAT one was made up.
• Iago: Hey, I’m a little hesitant about interacting with birds like me. Need I remind you of that old Tiki Birds Disneyland attraction incident with Zazu? Or was it Disneyworld?
• Icky: Nobody cares. And THAT was a long time ago. It shouldn’t even be considered canon, if there WAS canon to begin with.
• Iago: Still, I am a little worried. What if we come across Malcho? I have a hunch the minor members of the Villain League will want some screen time.
• Icky: WHAT screen time? This is a Wiki article.
• Iago: YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!!
• Thundera: OY!!! QUIET YOUR BEAKS BEFORE I DEAFEN YOU WITH MY THUNDER!!
• Gilda: Yeah. REALLY honoring Gilbert’s memory by arguing with his voice to make us SICK of it.
• Iago: Don’t PATRONIZE me. Honey? How much farther are we?
• Thundera: Hard to tell, mi amor. It’s been so long. Almost 10-20 years. I’m worried they migrated to a richer habitat.
• Iago: Didn’t you visit them after the Great Cycle mess?
• Thundera: Si. But only a few select family members.
• Icky: What about you, Iags? This is technically Agrabah’s South American Amazon. The richest place of parrots. I don’t remember much of the Aladdin TV series, so I don’t remember if there was even an Iago ripoff of you. Don’t you have a family here? You HAD a money-loving brother who was once the second-in-command of the Fang Empire.
• Iago: Trust me, my family is a MESS. I would rather stay AWAY from em. They are MORE annoying than my voice can EVER be.
• Icky: I can certainly believe so. I bet they are played by even MORE annoying voice actors. Tha-tha-that’s not to say Gilbert was, but you know what I mean. Who’s gonna be replacing you, because Alan Tudyk from the awful 2019 Aladdin certainly ain’t doing it. I don’t see HIM doing that in a million years… Because he’ll be DEAD in a million years.
• Iago: Well, I swear, if he does, I’m CERTAINLY gonna be pissed. But really, what are the chances? Nobody likes ANY of the Disney live-action remakes.
• Gilda: Mmmmmmm, are you sure about that?
• Iago: "As sure as one of the writers for it hates them too! Why, in that AUU episode with the Rabodans in those frozen planets, Kaa went up against his gender-bended counterpart and turned into a desperate fan girl of our Kaa."
• Gilda: Just saying, liking the live-action remakes of Disney movies isn’t a democracy.
• Icky: Oh, who are you kidding, Disney’s become a control freak that’ll buy whatever the f*** it wants, like the Star Wars movies making those three AWFUL sequels.
• Gilda: Hey, I LIKE THOSE MOVIES!
• Icky: AW COME ON, BABE, HOW COULD YOU?!
• Gilda: But NOT without acknowledging what people have issues with! Yeah, I get Rey's pretty much a Mary Sue, they treated original trilogy characters like kill fodder, Luke didn't had the greatest portrayal, Snoke was wasted potential, they didn't need Sidious back, clone or not, that "Romance" with Rey and Kylo was WTF for me, the thing with the Death Star ruins made NO sense when it CLEARLY Blow up to pure nothing, the sequels trampled on pre-Disney continuity WORSE than Disney's making everything not in the movies as "Legends" which is a fancy way of saying it's not considered canon anymore, Porgs are the Star Wars-ified Minions and overhyped worse than Pikachu, and the less said about the "Blue Milk" creatures, the better.
• Iago: AW, WAVE OF SPOILER ALERTS!!
• Icky: YOUR FAULT FOR NOT WATCHING THEM YET!! Though personally you're better off still doing that anyway!
• Gilda: But that all being said, s****y or not..... IT’S A GUILTY PLEASURE, OKAY?! Besides, you’re one to talk given the s****y movies YOU like.
• Icky: Ugh, we’re really talking about s****y movies right now?
• Iago: You come from a s****y movie.
• Gilda:… OHHHH, SNAP!
• Icky: "....... Ex, cuse, ME!?"
• Iago: "Hear me out: In all fairness compared to the Original Land before time, IT'S OVER-POPULATION OF UN-NESSERSARY SEQUELS ARE INFERIOR BY DEFAULT?!"
• Icky: "Hey, compared to what happened after the Stone of Cold Fire, I was from the golden age Sequels?!"
• Iago: "Fair, the Later Sequels after that began to turn into Edu-Tainment-Like fluff! But people are waking up to the fact that the sequels immediately following the original have NOT aged well?!"
• Icky: "First of all, comparing my debut to the original is an UNFAIR COMPARISON, OG FILMS ARE ALWAYS CONSIDERED SUPERIOR COMPARED TO SEQUELS?! And about that crack about the sequel films not aging well, SAYS WHO?!"
• Thundera: AYE MAMA-LOVING CARUMBA, WILL YOU ALL STOP WHINING ABOUT TERRIBLE MOVIES?! Icky, let Gilda love the Star Wars sequels, and hate most of the LBT sequels, and Icky, SHUT UP ABOUT IT, because THIS is how much I care: PBBBBBBBBBBBBBT!!
• Iago: THAT’S my bae. She’s REALLY rubbing off on me.
• Icky: Sure. How long before she sounds like you?
• Gilda: I give it a hundred years at most. I don’t really know her lifespan.
• Icky: This is a cartoon, honey. Lifespans hardly exist.
• Gilda: Don’t mean it doesn’t happen.
• Icky: Whatever! Last thing I have to say is, you ONLY like the Star Wars sequels because you have a lady boner for cool-looking sci-fi action.
• Gilda: And the last thing I have to say, is that it’s not just THAT. There’s PLENTY more reasons you wouldn’t understand. But, that’s about my last-thing-to-say limit, so shut the f*** up, bitch!
• Icky: YOU’RE a bitch.
• Gilda: F*** you!
• Icky: F*** YOU!
• Gilda: F*** YOU!!!
• Icky: F***, YOU!!!
• Gilda:…
• Icky:… (The two immediately started making out)
• Iago: Oh gee, who the S*** saw that coming? Annoying, am I right?
• Thundera: That is NOT why they should be shutting up right now. If we come home with them yelling like that, they could scare away my folks.
• Iago: THUNDERBIRDS, scared of loud arguing? HAH!
• Thundera: Booming thunder and weather sounds, no. Wild animals that can eat them? Almost. But something loud and obnoxious they never heard before? That’s a definite yes.
• Icky: "So, at risk of pulling an X, shall we get the plot rolling now?"
• Thundera: Yes, we most certainly will. (They flew above a pretty treehouse civilization of feathers and magical creatures)…
• Iago: We just need to make sure this isn’t another Thunderbird colony and not your own. Don’t want to be making enemies with other settlements… Unless this is the only one.
• Thundera: You think we wish to be limited to just one location? Nononono. We do not control the weather without going to other corners of the world. Weather has an impeccable travel agent, and no pun intended, we have a MORE impeccable travel RANGE.
• Gilda: Haha, imPECKable, I haven’t heard THAT before. (They flew down to see more Thunderbirds like Thundera with a wider range of feathers and colors)
• Iago: So, given we’re landing here while ignoring my question, I’ll take the answer as yes and we ARE at your home.
• Thundera: Not home exactly, just where my familia moved. When I returned following the beginning of our reevaluation, I gave them stewardship of my magic book.
• Icky: Sooooo, you left that book more vulnerable to theft?
• Thundera: I’m far from the ONLY one of my kind to record the power I learned. And my amulet was never always Malcho’s. It belonged to the most powerful of my kind, keeping it out of the hands of diablos for generations.
• Gilda: Kay, I guess that means you’re nothing special compared to everyone else here.
• ???: ON THE CONTRARY! (A lightning bolt struck her)
• Icky: Aw great, babe, ya PISSED OFF GOD!
• Gilda: NO GODS BUT THE ALICORNS TO ME, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! (A large and regal thunderbird appeared with a barrage of colorful feathers, patterns, and a wilder crown, and grabbed both Icky and Iago)
• Thunderbird Leader: ¿Quién eres tú? ¿Por qué estás traspasando?
• Icky: Aaahk!! AHUHUHUAAAK!!
• Thunderbird Leader: ¿Que?
• Icky: (He was let go) We’re with Thundera!
• Thunderbird Leader: Oh, you’re American!
• Gilda: Noooooo, we’re OFFWORLDICAN!
• Icky: "Though being far we are cartoons largely created by Americans or at least somewhere within the same neighborhood of such."
• Thunderbird:… Ahhh. I see... (Notices Thundra) Uno momento… Is that… Fulgur and Bolta's daughter?
• Thundera: Hola, Rey Tormenta.
• Iago: TORMENTA?!? AH HECK TO THE NO!!! KEEP YO CORRUPT KING TALONS AWAY FROM MI AMOR, BUDDY!!!
• Thundera: Uhh, mi amor, you, DO know Tormenta is Spanish for 'storm', si?
• Iago: (Awkward rimshot)…… Oh. Hehe. (On note) Note to self: learn EVEN MORE SPANISH!
• Icky: "Hey fair's fair, we're so used to bad guys with overtly evil sounding names, they tend to click on us. And a name like yours without an understanding of Spanish makes ya sound like ya have a thing for torment."
• Tormenta: "Ah Si, I understand, I get that a lot from the uninitiated. Many outsiders end up assuming I'm of foul intentions cause of the name. Sometimes the Sillynamia effect is a muy annoyance."
• Gilda: Didn’t think you would hear of it.
• Tormenta: Si, I wouldn’t normally. Thundera just brought it up last time she was here. Speaking of whom, I trust you are here for your parents?
• Thundera: Si. Iago here… He is needing to cope with-
• Tormenta: Let me guess, his voice actor dying?
• Iago:… This is gonna sound totally offensive, but I was under the impression people as primitive as you weren’t aware this was a cartoon.
• Tormenta: You think we wouldn’t after over 20 years? And the fact this world is a product of a 90s TV series based on a film from 1992?
• Icky: Pheh, I can see YOUR point there.
• ???: Nina! (Thundera’s parents arrived as she hugged them)
• Iago: Oooh. I don’t know how, babe, but your mother’s hotter than you.
• Thundera: SCUSE ME?!
• Iago: I’m just saying, but I still love you.
• Icky: You haven’t met her before?
• Iago: Not officially, no.
• Fulgur: So, THIS is your boyfriend? One of those, colorbirds?
• Icky: Colorbirds? Pfft! THAT’S what you call parrots?
• Fulgur: We’ve called them that LONG before they were called parrots.
• Iago: I’m sensing you guys have some, hostility with my kind here.
• Bolta: Not entirely. We just have, minor disputes for territory, food, water, anything.
• Iago: Just what I came for.
• Bolta: You, came here to cope with your voice actor’s passing by interacting with your kind? That’s actually really sad.
• Iago: Not as sad as my voice actor’s death.
• Gilda: No it actually sounds worse.
• Iago: GILDA! Not HELPING!
• Icky: "Annnnnnnd we're off to a greaaaaat start, I said sarcastically."
• Iago: "Hey this can't be helped, meeting the parents and family of your girlfriend/boyfriend/any lover is ALWAYS gonna be awkward."
• Icky: "Fair enough, but I was more referring that you came here to forget about the reason you're here by relaxing."
• Iago: "Well maybe ya should've planned better about running into Thundera's folks then!"
• Icky: "I-...... Okay, fair point, that's on me. But, I will say that what they mentioned is a perfect way to get over to the next chapter. Say, Thudnera's Ma and Pa, ya wouldn't mind directing us to where parrots like Iago would normally hang out, would ya?"
• Bolta: "Simple, follow the river down and you'll find it. Just, bare in mind only Iago would reschive a warm welcome given that you and the Griffin are not native. Not that they're xenophobic, more like, they don't see alot of griffins and..... What exactly are you?"
• Icky: "A prehistoric bird. Specifically, an Ichthyornis."
• Bolta: "Yes, that. Also not helping that-"
• Icky: "Cause I'm "Ugly" right? I prefer it more as "devilishly" handsome."
• Gilda: "To be fair, outside of me who appreciates your personality or female versions of you, devilishly handsome can easily be translated to ugly as sin."
• Icky: "(Sarcastic laugh), You're lucky I'm open to our relationship to being sassy like that, Gilds."
• Gilda: "Same."
• Iago: Thundera, you coming? Given our kind’s minor rivalries…
• Thundera: No, I’m still going. Where you go, I go. Those birds would not dare mess with a thunderbird.
• Fulgur: Mmmmmm, THESE guys would. Trust me. Colorbirds aren't our rivals for nothing.
• Icky: Oh what could those birds have that’s better than you?
• Fulgur: Perhaps you should see for yourselves.
• Icky: "Okay, we'll go there and judge for ourselves."

Chapter 3: Parrot Paradise/Flying Serpent Attack

Colorbird Village

• Iago: You gotta be kidding! (All the parrots, each of mixed species, sounded almost like Gilbert Gottfried)
• Parrot #1: WHAT IS WITH THIS WEATHER?!
• Parrot #2: ARE THOSE THUNDERBIRDS MESSING WITH US AGAIN?!
• Parrot #3: NEVER TRUST A BIRD NAMED TORMENTA!!
• Iago:… They sound almost like me!!
• Gilda: At least it ain’t Gilbert’s voice. That’d be as sad as all zebras in Africa sounding like Marty. Which THEY DO, ON HIS WORLD!! I don’t even know if that’s based on some scientific fact about zebras in the world of Dreamworks Madagascar, and never bothered to look it up because it’d be sad if it actually was.
• Parrot #4: Uhhh, SCUSE ME?! Who are you weirdos? And WHY did you bring a THUNDERBIRD here?
• Parrot #2: ARE YOU DOING THIS RAIN PRANK?!
• Parrot #5: YOU SONOVA BITCH!!
• Thundera: OY! DON’T INSULT MY MAMA!!!
• Iago: OKAY, ALL OF YOU, STUFF A CRACKER IN IT!! We are NOT here to cause trouble. This is just rain. AKA, Mother Nature’s watering can. Plants need it. And bare in mind that this is happening, in a RAIN-forest? C’mon! Do I even need to say why it’s CALLED a rainforest? If there’s anything our fellow Lodgers Lola Boa and Ed have taught us, it’s home to the most fauna and flora than any place on Earth.
• Parrot #6: It is?! OH COOL!! SUCK IT, REST OF THE WORLD!!!
• Iago: NOT cool. Did you know that there’s bird-eating spiders here?! One almost ate ME on my way here!!
• Icky: Ya'd think that be a misconception, but again, this is a world based on a Disney media from the 90s, so by all counts the name fits here-
• Parrot Leader: ENOUGH! (He flew in) Did you strangers come for a lesson in trivia, or did you have something to say?!
• Icky: Oh where are our manners, see, our own parrot friend here came to get some R&R for, personal reasons I don't think you're meta enough to understand, and we figured it be cool to check this place out.
• Parrot Leader: Well it's checked out, NOW GET!!
• Icky: "Dude, it's barely even 5 seconds here-"
• Parrot Leader: "Oh, sorry if ya thought Colorbird Village had a THRIVING TOUREST INDUSTRY!! If it ain't clear about how off the beaten path this place was and that ya ran into a Bird Eater, WE AIN'T MUCH FOR VISITORS!? Especially if ya bring Thunderbirds here, never mind griffins and-...... Whatever the heck you're supposed to be. What are ya, some kind of, weird and ugly seabird?"
• Icky: "An Ichthyornis, sir."
• Parrot Leader: "Gesundheit."
• Icky: "(Sarcastic Laugh), Oh real rich, sir. Okay, it's to say I'm a prehistoric bird that's off world from here, obviously."
• A Female Parrot Co-Leader peaked in and looked at Iago and gasped!
• Parrot Leader: "Look, the point is, I have NO interest to let a Thunderbird and her lackies linger about here and-"
• Parrot Co-Leader: "(Gets by the parrot leader and looks at Iago)....."
• Iago: "...... Uh, hello, ma'am."
• Parrot Leader: "Yagitha, what are ya doing-"
• Yagitha grabbed Iago by the wing and looked at the feather tips.....
• Icky: "...... Uh, yeah, those are feather tips, nothing really new..."
• Suddenly, The Parrot Leader's demeanor softened and looked at the tips as well.....
• Iago: "....... Okay WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE?! Is there like a wing tip fetish you people have here that I don't know abou- (Suddenly, Iago noticed the blue feather tips as well on the two)....."
• Icky: "...... This is going where I think it's going, isn't it?"
• Yaggitha: "...... Ignatius...... He's....... He's back."
• Ignatius the Parrot Leader: "....... Son."
• Iago was stone cold silent......
• Iago: "....... (Squeaky voice) Are you freaking kidding me?! (Faints suddenly)...."
• Icky: "........ Way to handle that with grace, Iags."
• Ignatius: "..... Ahem! Where were my manners, I didn't realize you people were good friends of my long-lost son, I'm usually way more diplomatic than this!"
• Gilda: "And suddenly you're not a jerk anymore because Iago turned out to be your kid in a plot-convenient way?"
• Icky: "Hey, the guy made it clear this place isn't exactly a tourist hotspot, give the dude a break."
• Gilda: Yeeeah, I’m pretty sure Iago NEVER met his biological parents in the Aladdin show over 20 years ago, sooooo, yeah. I can roll with it.
• Ignatius: "So please, you all are welcome to stay.... (Sighs), Even the Thunderbird provided she doesn't mess with the weather."
• Thundera: "I'm fairly certain this rain is naturally occurring."
• Ignatius: "Don't push your luck with that sass."
• Ignatius and Yaggitha picked up Iago and flew off, as Icky, Gilda and Thundera followed.

Hut.

• Iago was on a nest and awoke.
• Iago: "Ughhh, I had the craziest dream. That Gilbert Gottfried died, I returned to Agrabah, met Thundra's parents and suddenly got a shocking world-shattering revelation that- (Saw he was in a hut)...."
• Icky: "Sorry bro, all that's still within reality. Down to even your own Madagascar 2 experience."
• Iago: "......... YA MEAN THE TWO WILD PARROT WEIRDOS I JUST MET ARE MY PARENTS?! How?! I THINK I WOULD'VE REMEMBERED THAT!"
• Ignatius: "(Comes in) Of course you don't remember... You were taken from us when you were very, very young, Rainboa."
• Icky and Gilda snickered.
• Thundera: "(Giggles), That's your actual colorbird name?"
• Iago: "Duh, duh, MY NAME'S IAGO?!"
• Ignatius: "Maybe your Pet "Parrot" Name outside this place, but here... You were Rainboa..."

Flashback.

• Iago as a baby parrot was seen as Ignatius was before him.
• Ignatius: "Now, son, it's important to be a master of flight and- (Saw Baby Iago trying to catch a Butterfly) Son, son, son! (Sighs)..."
• A figure was watching Ignatius trying to handle Baby Iago...
• The figure was revealed to be a parrot like Iago but with a more macaw coloring and noted to have a scarred blind eye.
• Macaw: "Kids these days just never seem to pay attention, can they?"
• Ignatius: "(Disgruntled sigh), Again, Dreadeye?"
• Dreadeye: "Oh ya know me, challenging you for the right to rule the village is something I take rather seriously cause, well frankly you have has-been written all over you. But hey, plus side, once I actually beaten you, you'll have a lot more time to spend with your miserable excuse for a son."
• (Iago): Oh that is PERFECT! You even got your own Makunga! JUUUUUST PERFECT-
• (Thundra): MI AMOR!
• Ignatius: "....... Before I make ya change your name to "Dread-EYES", let me know this, why do you care so much about being leader of Colorbird village?"
• Dreadeye: "I'm better looking, ish, I have great plumage, I'm unbelievably smart, AND I simply want to have everyone to do everything only under my saying!"
• Ignatius: "(Scoffs as if this was typical) Everyone wants the last part."
• Dreadeye: "Not as much as me they don’t. Now enough horsing around. We'll fight on 5... 1..."
• Ignatius: Dreadeye, this is a waste of time. Ya know we're parrots and not something like pumas, right?
• Dreadeye: 2...
• Ignatius: And besides, you know you can't beat me.
• Dreadeye: FOUR...
• Ignatius: What happened to three- oh, f*** it, yer clearly not going away otherwise, might as well humor you.
• Dreadeye: FIVE! (The two birds start fighting)
• Young Iago was still trying to catch the butterfly, only to have a bird catcher from Agrabah loomed in.
• Bird Catcher: "Always great to start them young. (Catches Baby Iago immediately and ran off)."
• Ignatius: (Having defeated Dreadeye) And that's that. Just be glad I let you off with a warning this time.
• Dreadeye: "Oh sure, add salt to the wound, why don't ya?"
• Ignatius: "..... Now son, I- (Noted Baby Iago gone)...... Rainboa?! RAINBOA?! (Sees the Bird Catcher going with a troupe of others!) RAINBOA?!" (He flew after them, but they ended up going into an uncharted region of the rainforest)
• (Ignatius): I looked in the Forbidden Groves for weeks. But by that point… I had to assume the worst.

Present

• Yaggitha: Where exactly did they TAKE you?!
• Iago: Exactly where poachers TAKE animals: the black market. I ended up shipped around the Middle East, and then… Some greedy power-hungry sorcerer named Jafar took me in. He taught me how to speak, and he went all over the world looking for magic and power to conquer with. And unfortunately, I had to go along for the ride. You got NO IDEA HOW MUCH TORTURE I HAD TO PUT UP WITH!!! I should’ve been as fortunate as my brother OTHELLO!!
• Ignatius:… Othello? Your brother?… Honey, did we have another baby?
• Yaggitha: No, I could have sworn we had the one.

Cutaway

• Yaggitha: (At the same time as Iago went missing, she was seen having hidden another pregnancy after being careless one night, and then got rid of the egg to another family of macaws, only for it to end up tumbling into the same poacher group as this caused Iago and Othello to grow up as brothers)

Present

• Iago:..... Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh. Thank goodness I didn't invited that sofisicated yuts here or he'd never be over it.
• Icky: "This is meant to be a "For you" thing anyway, so, not exactly alot of room for a quick pit stop for the Equestrian Reforming Monistairy."
• Iago: But still.... You were being too careless with your husband, weren’t you?
• Yaggitha:… I… REALLY didn’t want another mouth to feed during a time of famine with other colorbirds hogging up territory AND the food in it. Dirty hoarders. SO glad things have changed since then…
• Ignatius: And yet you got rid of it at the same time we lost Rainboa?!
• Yaggitha: I WASN’T GONNA JUST REPLACE OUR SON WITH ANOTHER!!! THAT’S LOW EVEN FOR US!!!
• Iago: Hmmph. Damn the UUniverses for bringing HIM fortune with the Fang Empire while I had to end up the pet of some evil sorcerer.
• Ignatius: Fang Empire?
• Iago: Long story. Guy grew up to be a cheapskate who loves money more than life. But then again, I heard HIS owner lost his ARMS for stealing. Ugh. Strict Sharia law looks very, uh, hard to cope with, when you go to more modern or futuristic worlds. Hell, it even got us in a near-murder episode with some badger whose… Name I forgot.
• Thundra: Adrian.
• Iago:.... Wow, that was back when we didn't gave folks names clearly designed to make their evilness and/or joke character status obvious.
• Icky: "Late Season 1, matter o'fact."
• Iago:.... Ahh, nostaglia..... Ahh who CARES, he’s reincarnated. Lost his hand and got dumped for swearing in front of his child, can you believe that?!
• Gilda: Nooooo, that was changed BECAUSE it was a weak motivation.
• Iago: AGAIN, WHATEVER, HE’S REINCARNATED!! Into his own grandson no less. Who cares where he is now, huh? So long as he’s not trying to murder people.
• Yaggitha:… Is… There a point trying to be made, Rainboa?
• Iago: Yeheah. Be glad OTHELLO didn’t show up instead of me. We were both just named after Shakespeare characters by our catchers. The guy was into it, HARD!
• Icky: "And there's also what Iago said about taking what ya did to his egg REALLY hard. But don't worry, it's not required for him to know, he'll LITTERALLY be happier without the knowledge."
• Ignatius: "I kinda feel that to be for the best based on how ya discribed him."
• Iago: Soooo, how’s this Dread-Eye guy been fairing? We KINDA don’t need a ripoff Makunga incident here.
• Yaggitha: The DEVIL is Makunga?
• Iago: Damn right he is.
• Icky: Some guy just like Dread-Eye but a fat lion with a fonzi haircut. Now, where IS Dread-Eye?
• Ignatius: He’s… Gotten over that whole mess. I made sure of that. He’s got better things to do than try and be leader now.
• Iago: Aaaaand what would that be?

Later…

• Dread-Eye: UGH!!! I swear, these other territories are hard to keep in line. What’s the point of being a delegate if every time I enter another’s turf, THEY TREAT IT AS AN INVASION?! ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A FACE THAT SCREAMS 'BAD GUY'?!
• Gilda:… This was a big joke, wasn’t it?
• Ignatius: At first, but it stopped being funny a LONG time ago. At least he gets to tell OTHERS what to do, and not us!
• Dread-Eye: I’m standing right HERE! And I see your son Rainboa is back.
• Yaggitha: Yes. But what exactly did those other colorbirds do THIS time?
• Dread-Eye: Hmmph! The Rio Colorbirds are getting all up in my eggcase about me scaring their chicks, both figuratively and literally, with my face, and they’re thinking of declaring war for sparking mass hysteria and disturbing the peace. WHAT EVEN IS PEACE, HUH?!
• Iago: Sucks to be you, huh?
• Dread-Eye:… Great. Your son grew up to become a wisecracker like me. I don’t know if I should be impressed or disappointed. So I’m gonna say both.
• Gilda: At least he’s better than his brother.
• Thundra: GILDA!
• Dread-Eye: A BROTHER?! PHAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! OHHO IGNATIUS, YOU F***BOI!!
• Ignatius: IN MY DEFENSE, YAGGITHA KEPT OTHELLO A SECRET FROM ME AND LOST HIM THE SAME DAY I LOST RAINBOA!!
• Dread-Eye: Othello? What kind of name is that?
• Gilda: This coming from a guy named DREAD-EYE!
• Dread-Eye: MY NAME, IS DOMINGOS DA GRANDE!!! I only got that OTHER name because I HAVE A SCAR!!!
• Iago: Ouch.
• Dread-Eye: Yeah, don’t your friends feel foolish?
• Icky: "Well it fits to be fair."
• Dread-Eye: "Well pardon me if I don't adopt the functionality of the name so easily if I end up the subject of accsidental wars between other colorbirds."
• Iago: True. Sucks, and it makes me question why DAD DOESN’T GIVE HIM A NEW JOB!!!
• Ignatius: He hasn’t learned that being a leader isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Being a leader isn’t just about having others do what you say. Being a leader is-
• Dread-Eye: I get it already, don’t say things you’ve already hammered into my head. So, how about you have your son help me out here?
• Iago: Okay, I AM a UUniversal hero, so, no skin off my beak. What are these Rioans so upset about besides your… Bad complexion? I mean, you don’t contemplate WAR because of some disfigured guy so easily without a different reason.
• Ignatius:… How observant. See, Dread-Eye? HE’S got more of a leading bone in his body than you.
• Dread-Eye: Yeah, sure, RUB IT IN TO MY BAD EYE!! But you’re right. They have a PRETTY good reason to be that way. They’re constantly attacked by Quetzalcoatls.
• Iago:…
• Thundra: Ohhh nooo.
• Iago:… PLEASE tell me you don’t mean giant feathered winged snakes.
• Icky: You’ve been all over this world with Jafar, what else could he mean? And I'm sure he doesn't meant the giant pterasaurs that also have the name but more sciencey since this is clearly a world post-prehistoric.
• Iago: (Sighs) Just what we needed. MORE Malchos.
• Ignatius:… Malcho. That’s a name I haven’t heard from the Quetzalcoatls NOR the thunderbirds in over 20 years.
• Iago: And for pretty good reason. He decided to align with OUR enemies at the same time Thundra came in. She… Thought the Lodgers kidnapped me since I was still aligned with the Villain League with Jafar when it happened. Mally joined when we were helping a herd of dinosaurs on a prehistoric world.
• Dread-Eye:… My WORD! Ignatius, your son knows how to get around.
• Ignatius: I shudder to imagine how much.
• Iago: You’d be more shuddered than you think. I’ve recently gone outside our UUniverses.
• Yaggitha:… Okay, not asking.
• Iago: Oh PLEASE tell me we’re NOT doing this. Just imagine how much worse Malcho’s kind is… Or I can pray the other side DESPERATELY that he’s just one of the deviants.
• Icky: "Well maybe they're more nuanced then Mal-A-Choke, but I have an itching feeling the flying snakes giving birds crap might not be shining examples of the spieces either."
• Iago: That too. Buuut, I think we can do you guys a favor. Especially since, this IS my homeland.
• Thundra: Oh we SHALL show them. They are enemies of MY kind too, and any enemy to them is a friend of mine. Vamonos. (They flew off)
• Dread-Eye:… Hmhmhmhmhm. They don’t even have the SLIGHTEST clue as to what Quetzals are TRULY like.
• Ignatius: No, but perhaps Ms. Thundra does. SHE seems like she knows about this world more than our son.

Rio

• Iago: (They approached the borders of a primitive village that is now Rio de Janeiro, and in the trees there were barbed wooden gates, metals, and a variety of defenses) Whoa!
• Thundra: Steady on, amigos! The moment we cross this border, the colorbirds may react in any manner. So it must be I who handles this burden.
• Gilda: These birds REALLY look like hardcore warriors. Doubtful it deters flying winged snakes, but still, the craftsmanship is admirable.
• Icky: Hyeah, until it falls.
• Iago: "..... Though how the heck did humans of this world miss something like THIS?!"
• Icky: "I feel like in a world that acknowledges mythical and supernatural elements, parrots being this handy and smart is probably not a freaking surprise to them."
• Iago: "Fair enough."
• Gilda: "Okay based on what that Makunga Parrot said, these guys will obviously not be receptive of visitors, so they WILL be on the defensive! We'll have to be ready to defuse tensions with as much tact as possible!"
• ???: Excuse me! (Dread-Eye flies in) So, uh, eye-egg-o, right?
• Iago: Ee-ah-go.
• Dread-Eye: Whatever. So, I was talking with your dad, but he simply refused to banish you.
• Icky: Banish? Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Baldwin Eagle?
• Dread-Eye: Oh, it's nothing, really. I was just reminding Ignatius that Rainboa never went through the colorbird rite of passage, so technically speaking, he can't stay here and be a member of the flock. It's nonsense. So, if you want my advice, the best place to start is there.
• Iago: Oh, really? What's the rite of passage?
• Icky: "HOLD IT! I know where this is going! You're making s*** up to set things up exactly like how Makunga did things!"
• Dread-Eye: "....."
• Icky: "I KNEW IT! THERE'S NO RITE OF PASSAGE, IS THERE?!"
• Dread-Eye: "(Quietly) Darn, I didn't think these idiots would be onto me-"
• Iago: "Ugh, it figures, YOU'RE STILL A POWER-GRABBER!"
• Dread-Eye: "Okay I get it, ya got wise to me! There may not be a rite of passage, but I will say this; whatever that thunderbird knows will not save you. (He flies away)"
• Iago: REALLY?! YA FLY AWAY JUST LIKE THAT?! P***Y- (He was splashed with mud)… RUDE!
• Gilda:… Now what?
• Icky: "Okay, mental note, let's be sure Iago's parents are warned that Makunga Parrot is still a d***, after we checked with the Rio parrots. (Quietly) Not to be confused with the Blue Sky Studios Parrots of Rio."
• Iago: "Oh speaking of that, it SUCKS that studio was lost to the pandemic cause of Disney burocractic BS!"
• Icky: "Tch, and yet they still made a Disney+ Spin Off in Buck Wild happen? Corpret politics, oy!"
• Gilda: You’re choosing to bring that up NOW? That was a year ago.
• Icky: "Doesn't make it less sucky NOR less relevent. That and we weren't able to address it sooner cause of the SAF EU getting more attention-"
• Gilda: That's to say if you're gonna be topical, at least focus on what's actually on the current year that's not too hot buttony or political. (Quietly) If we can avoid it. (Openly) It’s 2022, and really there’s MORE s*** to complain about. Corporate wars are all the rage. Disney’s gonna own EVERYTHING eventually. What a way to make themselves memorable for their 100 year anniversary next year. I don’t even want to BEGIN to go into what that’s gonna do to the United Universes as we know them.
• Icky: "Well judging that there's a United Universe on the SAF's Multiverse Page about how that Disney already owned everything from the start, I think that dimension gives a scary and ironic look on how that would look like if we don't eventually get an anti-monopoly law in place."
• Iago: "Sad truth is, if we even CAN get one, or if Disney doesn't try to lobby against it with it's army of lawyers and bought lobbists and bribeable politicians."
• Icky: "And now I'm even more depressed about the state of entertainment media. Thanks Iags, we validated one of the things X complains about this series losing it's sense of fun."
• ???: What the HECK are they talking about?
• ??? 2: DAMMIT, HUE, YOU JUST BLEW OUR COVER!!! (Parrots surrounded them with weaponry)
• Iago:… Damn that Dread-Eye. He made me scream on purpose and blow our cover.
• Parrot #2: Who are you strangers?!
• Thundra: Let me handle this. (Openly) We don’t mean any harm. We have only come on behalf of King Ignatius and Queen Yaggitha, and their long lost son Rainboa.
• Iago: So I’m just gonna go around calling myself by my birth name now?
• Gilda: It’s better than sounding like you’re one of Shakespeare’s pets.
• Iago: I don’t even think Shakespeare exists on this world yet!
• Icky: "Yet that doesn't stop Genie from making references to people and things that ALSO don't exist yet!"
• Iago: "..... Toushe."
• Thundra:… So that is why we are here.
• Hue:… Hmm. I could’ve sworn I SAW that ugly colorbird with you.
• Iago: Ohhh…
• Thundra: I assure you, it’s not what you think, amigo. Dread-Eye does not represent us, and he came ONLY because he still seeks power.
• Hue: SO THEY ADMIT IT!!
• Thundra: QUE, NO!!
• Icky: WAIT WAIT WAIT SHE MEANT TO SAY WE'RE NOT AFILIATED WITH THAT GUY- (They were restrained)
• Iago:… Oh, that, lying, conniving, Makunga-ripoffing, power-hungry, ugly-mugging MOTHER-

Dread-Eye’s Office

• (Iago): -F***********************R!!!!! (Birds were heard flying away as Dread-Eye smiled)

Rio

• Icky: He set us up! He really IS Makunga!!
• Parrot #3: SILENCE!!! (They flew into Rio)
• Icky:… Okay, not into history, so what exactly WAS Rio like at this time?
• Gilda: Actually I’m PRETTY sure Rio didn’t exist during this time period.
• Icky:… So then that means- (Rio was revealed to actually be a parrot civilization)… What a twisted twist.
• Iago: "...... Anyway, (At the Rio Parrots) Listen, there's a misunderstanding! We have never been or ever HAD been affiliated with that Dread-Eye guy?!"
• Hue: "Then WHY did we saw you talking to him?"
• Icky: "The yuts was trying to scam us into mimicking the plot of Madagascar 2?!"
• Hue: "(He and the other rio parrots were confused)...."
• Icky: "..... Ugh, being meta's a pain sometimes."
• Iago: ".... He MEANT to say that Dread-Eye was trying to pull a fast one on us and we called him out on it and he left like a coward."
• Thundra: "Of which was EXACTLY what I meant before!"
• The Rio Parrots looked at eachother embarrassed.....
• Parrot 4: "...... HUE YOU IDIOT, YOU DID IT AGAIN?!"
• Hue: "I'M SORRY?! WE CAN'T TAKE CHANCES WITH ANYTHING DREAD-EYE RELATED?! (The four were freed) I'm sorry about this, we're normally more hospitable than that."
• Icky: "Ah we were told before ya guys been on edge because of flying serpents."
• Hue: "Well, try not take what happened before too personally. I litterally just heard Dread-Eye still wants power and I just went into overdrive. That Colorbird has a bad history of being a usurper wanna-be ya know."
• Iago: "(Faceplams) And yet my parents made him an AMBASSADOR?! Ugh, no wonder you guys hate each other's guts."
• Parrot 3: "Who said we hated the colorbird village over THAT guy?"
• Gilda: "...... Yeah I'm starting to detect that Makunga Parrot has a compulsive liar problem."
• Icky: "Makes sense given he's a Makunga Knock-off, that lion is a bulls*****r too."
• Parrot #4:… I have a feeling you’ve been all over the UUniverses.
• Iago:… Never figured you KNEW about the world outside your own.
• Parrot #5: Of course we do. Malcho leaving for other worlds is proof enough.
• Icky:… Hmm. You know about Malcho?
• ???: To a pea! (The Rio parrot leader arrived)
• Leader: I would like to ask why I was not made aware of this.
• Hue: Well you CLEARLY heard it, your highness, or informed of it. Either way, you did. Ahem. Strangers, presenting our leader, Queen Cromo.
• Iago:… I’ll give her this, she’s got style. If I wasn’t already taken, I’d be all over her.
• Cromo: I am happily taken myself. Anyway, I have known about Malcho merely from his parents.
• Thundra:… THEY are responsible for the Quetzal attacks?
• Gilda: I suppose being greedmongers runs in the family.
• Cromo: Actually, no. Malcho's parents were honorable serpents.
• Icky: ".... Okay, backstory confirmed, either Malcho was a basturd child or suffered an unsong personal truama that turned him into a dipshit."
• Gilda:… Wait, you said "Were"..... Is that meaning that they're.... Ya know, not around anymore?
• Hue: They died of natural causes, actually. They were thousands of years old, and senility is a bitch.
• Parrot #2: Besides that, neither they nor Malcho are behind our problems. A WAY worse serpent is.
• Thundra:… Aaaaand, dare I ask who that might be?
• Cromo: His brother, Malcaliantie. (Icky and Iago snickered) Hey, you're lucky HE'S not around to hear that! The parents died fairly recently. With Malcho gone, HE stood in to claim the throne. When he did, we had no warning when they attacked.
• Iago: Pheh. Nice going, Malcho, you got so caught up with the Villain League, ya forgot your family existed.
• Icky: I just assumed he didn’t HAVE a family, given he’s a magic creature and all. Or at least, nothing to be worked up over, considering he NEVER talked about it. Then again, he’s a villain. Dil never talked about HER life even BEFORE she joined the VL.
• Cromo: If you all have history with Malcho, then we could use your help.
• Thundra: If you know anything about Malcho, you should know his history with me.
• Cromo: Yes yes, the daughter of Fulgur. The one whose weather amulet Malcho once owned… Which seems pretty redundant given you thunderbirds can ALREADY control weather naturally.
• Iago:… YOU CAN CONTROL WEATHER NATURALLY?!
• Thundra: Sadly, no. And no, it’s not something natural. We must EARN the right to control the weather. I was… Never allowed to. Before Rey Tormenta, there was one who you may say earns the name Tormenta WITHOUT the Spanish context. Rey Stormare was much worse than his predecessor. He had it out for my familia since they were chicks. He refused me the right to ascend. The ceremony had already passed, therefore, I can never ascend to control weather naturally.
• Icky: Jeebus! Imagine if HE was still in charge when we came here.
• Cromo:… I see. It appears I was wrong to be under the impression you were… Compensating for a feeling of inferiority.
• Thundra: THAT’S what you thought?
• Cromo: ANYWAY, Malcaliantie has been tormenting colorbirds and thunderbirds alike since he abdicated the throne. And before you ask, no, we don't know why.
• Icky: "..... And ya never bothered to ask him?"
• Cromo: "He deems our kind "Too inferior to understand his motives"."
• Icky: "Got ya, Malcanty's too much of a superiority complexed racist f*** to reason with, got ya."
• Iago: Then CLEARLY it’s up to us. Heh. Just like when we first met Lilo and Stitch, this may be one of the only moments where we get a vacation, and we still have to f*****g work.
• Gilda: Soooo, much like any other line of work?
• Cromo: Careful, new friends. One does not simply fly up to Malcaliante.
• Icky: None except US! We stood up to his bro plenty of times.
• Thundra: When’s the last time we even SAW Malcho again?
• Gilda: Yeeeah, he’s one of the faces of the Villain League on the B-List. Much like Dil.
• Icky: PFFFT! The idea of Dil being on that list, IS F*****G HILARIOUS! But hey, be glad we won’t even BE seeing Malcho. His tyrannical brother is all the evil we need right now. So Lodgers? Time to Lodge.
• Iago: That sounds SO weird.
• Icky: What would YOU have said?
• Iago: Let’s Shell some losers?… Ugh, nope, I got nothing.
• Thundra: Then let’s mov-
• Rio Bird: "THE SERPENTS ARE ATTACKING?!"
• Icky: "....... ANNNNNNNNND it looks like we don't even have to go to the guy-"
• Flying Serpents like Malcho were everywhere!
• Hue: "...... Aw gees, he attacked sooner again then we hoped for..... AGAIN?!"
• Thundera: ONWARD, LODGERS! (They flew in towards them)
• Quetzal #1: What the-? What’s that?
• Iago: HEY, YA FLYING STRINGS OF MEAT?! CLAM, UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!! (Thundra cast lightning upon them, frying a few of them)
• Icky: Why would parrots and thunderbirds hate each other when they could get together and avoid situations like THIS?
• Iago: Don’t ask me! This world’s primitive and based on 90's show logic!
• Gilda: C’MON, YA CREEPS!!! MAKE LIKE BEES AND BUZZ THE HELL OFF!!!
• Quetzal #2: NEVAH! We’re not afraid of a teeny tiny griffin! We will not be bullied by the likes of- (Gilda bit his tail) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHGH!!!
• Gilda: NEXT ONE IS TEARING A CHUNK OF MEAT OUT!!
• Quetzal #3: SEIZE THE SAVAGE BIRD-LION!!
• Icky: "Do that and I'll squack yer brains out!"
• Quetzal #4: (Scoffs) YOU?! What are YOU gonna do to US?! HUH?!? (They laughed)
• Icky: Oh, how about I give you a SOCK ON THE NOSE?!? (He rapidly kicked his snout as he fell down)
• Quetzal #4: AAHHH!! WHAT THE HELL, BIRD?!
• Icky: Yeah! Seabird legs are STRONGER than they look! WHO'S NEXT?! HUH?!?
• Quetzal #5: GET EM!!! (They attacked)
• Gilda: "Guess we're doing this now!" (This played as they charged)

Ambush-Mini-Boss - SpongeBob Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated Music Extended

• Thundra: LEAVE THESE CREATURES ALONE, MUCHACHOS!!
• Quetzal #2: WE AIN'T AFRAID OF NO THUNDERBIRDS!! (She cast lightning down on them, but they absorbed the electricity) You serious, trying to smite us God style? That's the CHEAPEST thunderbird trick in the book.
• Thundra:... Clearly these birds have a right to fear you.
• Iago: I call hacks! Malcho couldn't do that.
• Quetzal #3: This ISN'T several years ago, colorbird! WE'VE EVOLVED!
• Icky: "Whoa hold up, I ain't no Charles Darwin, but I don't think evolution is THIS instant! It's suppose to be a gradual and generational kinda thing!"
• Gilda: "One, these guys are god based, two, I feel like this is cause of whatever Malcaliantie is pulling here?!"
• Quetzal #3:… You guys always have a habit of taking things literally?
• Iago: Hells yeah they do.
• Icky: For God’s sakes, Iago!!
• Quetzal #4: "Back on topic though about what Malcaliantie did for us, you'll see WHAT THAT IS SOON ENOUGH?!" (They continued fighting as they had more than one defense)
• Thundra: AYE CARUMBA!! THESE QUETZALS ARE HARD TO BRING DOWN!!
• Gilda: Yeah! So far, the only damage I’VE done was the bite.
• Quetzal #1: That’s right. Malcalientie has FIGURATIVELY evolved us beyond an easy defeat.
• Iago: Sounds like someone had a lot to fear.
• Icky: "Or equally overcompetsate for a personal insecurity."
• Quetzal #1: I’LL SHOW YOU FEAR AND INSECURITY!!! (They unleashed lightning breath that knocked them off balance)
• Icky: AW NOW THAT’S X-MEN ORIGINS LASER-EYE DEADPOOL BULLS*** RIGHT THERE!!!
• (Deadpool): OH, YOU TELL EM, ICKSTER!!!
• Icky: "DAMN IT WILSON, THAT WASN'T MEANT TO CONCERN YOU?!"
• Quetzal #4:... Ignoring that bit of weirdness..... What, you didn’t think our improvements were limited to defense, did you?
• Icky:… It, WAS a thought. Could’ve used those bulls*** powers sooner, though. Could’ve saved you a lotta time.
• Quetzal #5: GREAT IDEA!
• Icky: WAIT WAIT WAIT THAT WASN'T AN ACTUAL SUGGESTION- (The Quetzals wreaked havoc on Rio with the lightning breath)… Me and my big beak.
• Thundra: CEASE AND DESIST THIS INSTANT!! (She cast fog that blinded them)
• Quetzal #2: WHAT, DARN IT, I CAN’T SEE A THING!!
• Thundra: ATENCIÓN A TODOS LOS PÁJAROS DE COLORES! AGARRATE A ALGO FUERTE, PORQUE ESTÁ A PUNTO DE HACER VIENTO!
• Quetzal #5: I know we're in a land where Spanish should be second nature, but what did she sa- (Suddenly a tornado formed and pulled the Quetzals in)
• Thundra: BEGONE, BEASTS! (She cast the tornado away from Rio)
• Quetzal #1: WE’LL BE BAAAAAAaaaaaack!!
• Iago: AND WE’LL BE WAITING!!! (The Rio parrots came out cheering)
• Hue: DIOS MIO!! You actually DID IT!!
• Cromo: YOU SAVED US!! Albeit not perfectly, BUT BETTER FLAWED HEROES THEN NONE AT ALL?!
• Iago: It’s really nothing at this point. We do this on a regular basis. We deal with common supervillain crooks back home almost every day when the UUniversal Sheriffs can’t handle it… Which they usually can’t.
• Gilda: Don’t sell us all short, Iags. These guys are praising us, so no need to ruin the Disney-esque magic.
• They were being secretly observed by a darker looking Thunderbird that quietly flew off...

Elsewhere...

• Dreadeye was roosting on a tree and was before the darker Thunderbird.
• Darker Thunderbird: "...... Your little stunt failed, colorbird."
• Dreadeye: "Ugh, look in my defense, I figured those Rios won't listen to squat they said?! Not after what Mally's guys kept screwing them around?!"
• Darker Thunderbird: "Well they got WISE, and they've given those four enough a chance that they helped prevent another raid?!"
• Dreadeye: "Rey Stormare, Buddy, we can still figure this out-"
• Rey Stormare: "DON'T YOU GET IT, YOU STUPID COLORBIRD?! In spite of my efforts, now the prophecy is gonna come true?!"
• Dreadeye: "Propa-what now?!"
• Rey Stormare: "You know how Malcaliantie is seeking out the elder god serpent creator of the skies for world? Thundra, in an ancient prophecy I did my best to obscure, is destined to be the one to save the Great Sky Serpent from Malcaliantie's aims!!"
• Dreadeye: "..... THAT’S why you gave her dad such crud?!"
• Rey Stormare: "Actually me and Tormenta are just childhood rivals, but he made it worse by earning the favor of what became Thundra's mother!! But don't view me as THAT petty! My real reason is because I want to be that savior!"
• Dreadeye: "Well not like making her a shutin to weather powers worked cause thanks to Malchokobo, she has a weather necklace?!"
• Rey Stormare: "WORSE THAN THAT!! Turns out, ironically, WHAT I DID ONLY SOLIDIFIED HER POTENTIAL!! I ended up missing a part of the prophecy that she would do so without a ceremony-granted ability but from stealing from a mad Queztal!! AND WORSE, it's said that once she does save the Great Sky Serpent, IT WILL BESTOW HER DENIED WEATHER ABILITIES WITHOUT THE NECKLACE ANYWAY AS A TOKEN OF GRATITUDE!!"
• Dreadeye: "(Laughs like Makunga) HA!! YOU REALLY CLIPPED YOUR OWN WINGS DOING THAT!!"
• Rey Stormare: "Like it wasn't already enough my own people revulsed me for denying the daughter of my rival the gift of controlling weather out of what they assume is me being PETTY, but now I discovered that I only solidified her destiny anyway!!"
• Dreadeye: "Yeah ya really should read the fine print of those ancient prophecies, my guy- (Gets grabbed by the neck painfully) ACCCCCCK!!"
• Rey Stormare: "DAMN RIGHT ACCCK!! You, are going to help me, dispose of her, so the prophecy is MINE to take!! My legacy will be redeemed of the oversight that cost me my people's respect, when I earn the respect and blessings of the GREAT SKY SERPENT, ONE OF THE ELDER GODS THAT CREATED THIS WORLD!!"
• Dreadeye: "Ack, but in immediate advance, you have to not choke me, with the downpayments of helping me take over my village from Rainboa's parents!!"
• Rey Stormare: ".... (Chuckles), Sure.... You scratch my back, I scratch yours. (Lets him go)."
• Dreadeye: *Cough cough* I always heard your kind could be brutes, but WOW! Alright, buddy… How EXACTLY are we gonna do this?
• Rey Stormare:… I might have an idea. What if the Quetzals had a little… Family reunion?
• Dreadeye:… What do you mean? (Stormare took out a Quetzal relic)… Aaaand what’s THAT? It’s actually scaring me.
• Rey Stormare: Glad you asked, because I just recently discovered the answer. This is Quetzalcoatl fulgurite. Enchanted earth from magic lightning cast down from Quetzalcoatls long ago. It serves as something akin to… A connection between all Quetzalcoatls. It can call all Quetzals home in the case of an emergency. And does this seem like an emergency to you?
• Dreadeye: Yeah, but… What can we do about this? We can’t exactly do anything with it.
• Rey Stormare: Au contraire. This fulgurite was made by none other than "Malchokobo" himself, as you berated him as. Back when he owned Thundra’s medallion. Since I was once her home village’s leader… I can do a little something to give her a blast from her past. Watch and learn. (He channeled some ball lightning into the fulgurite and it glowed brightly for a short moment)
• Dreadeye:… Was… That supposed to do something?
• Rey Stormare: It’s a beacon. It’ll send the originator of this fulgurite knocking at Thundra’s door. All we must do now… Is wait.

Chapter 4: Malchoing Revelations

Villain League HQ

• Malcho: (He was seen sleeping until his eyes glowed open)… My GOD!… It can’t be!… The Prophecy is coming true?!… (He got up and slithered his way across many Villain Leaguers who were reevaluating themselves in various ways until he came to Lord Cobra) Master Cobra?
• Lord Cobra: Wait, who’s voice is-… Oh. It’s you. One of my… B-Listers.
• Malcho: Yes, it’s Malcho, and-… Wait, B-Listers? I'M A FLYING GOD SERPENT, HOW'S THAT A B-LISTER?!
• Cobra: Sorry, it's not a thing related to skill nor capability, it’s a thing for Villain League members that're hardly used.
• Dil: YOU GET USED TO IT, BUDDY-BOY!
• Malcho:… Am I REALLY that underused? I… Feel like that was something I should’ve recognized.
• Cobra: It’s one of our reevaluation things, and something we do since Sephiroth went rogue. Anyway, what did you want to discuss?
• Malcho:… Well… I’m afraid I must return to my homeworld.
• Cobra: A solo mission? Should I send in some reinforcements?
• Malcho: No. This is something I have to do alone… I have just been summoned to my homeland. To contend with a long-standing rivalry.
• Chrysalis: You have a family? I was under the impression you were a magically-birthed creation or like, some eldridge magical creature that existed since forever.
• Malcho: You’re from a world of magical creatures. What exactly do I look like that you can find there?
• Chrysalis:… A Quetzalcoatl?
• Malcho: Precisely.
• Cobra:… What exactly IS this about?
• Malcho: With all due respect, Master Cobra, this is a ME thing. You guys have enough on your plate as it is.
• Cobra: A-… Okay, you’re not wrong. Okay fine, go what ya need done then. (Malcho zoomed off).

Back at the rainforest.

• Malcho appeared in.....
• Malcho: ".... (Sighs solumly)..... Home...... I'm glad Malcaliantie didn't managed to be TOO stupid yet."
• Rey Stormare and Dreadeye appeared in.
• Rey Stormare: "Hello, Malcho. (Malcho looks over) Sorry to interrupt your dormancy with whatever it is you got caught up with, but I brought you over for the purpose of settling your rivalry."
• Malcho: "...... Well good. Maybe now I have the chance to undo Malcaliantie's usurp and win back my beloved Mi'Amore."
• Rey Stormare: "(Dreadeye was shocked) Hehehe, I glad you see it my way- (Stops himself) WAIT WHAT?! NO?! I BROUGHT YOU OUT HERE TO GO AFTER THUNDRA?! YOUR RIVAL?!"
• Malcho: "...... Tch. Oh sure, I don't exactly have the greatest relations with her, but at most I wouldn't give her arch-nemesis status. Sure, it was VERY PERSONAL she took my medailian from me, but what can I expect from a Thunderbird that likely wasn't able to get weather powers from the ceramony they celebrated? I'd imagine it's a very hard thing to cope with. Though I can only guess why that is the case, but if it was because of some selfish idiot doing it for whatever reason, ohhh, would I enact Mayan-inspired acts on him?! But no, this time, my REAL issue is with my brother for usurping me of my rightful birthplace, and now I assume he has already started his nonense to try and go after the Great Sky Serpent's power?! I can still stop him so the prophecy doesn't need to stop him itself! Then I can finally go back to the life I had with Mi'Amore!"
• Rey Stormare: "Duh, duh, duh, BUT WHAT ABOUT YOUR TYRANNY WITH THE MEDEILIAN?!"
• Malcho: "Ugh, you birds still hold that over me?! All the actions I did, that was meant for me to train with the powers of the medeilian so I can be an EQUAL to brother who had 10 TIMES THE POWER I HAD with his own medeilian!! Wasn't really meant to be personal, but I had to be stronger then Malcaliantie, or else he would make our kind a disgrace to the Great Sky Serpent and risk upsetting her and the other Elder God creators and trigger them to rapture this world and restart it as penance!! Of which the prophecy is meant to prevent via a Thunderbird I may or may not have an idea who it is! A Thunderbird denied a birthright would rise against my arrogant serpent's ass of a brother! If I intervene in a timely matter, I can put the prophecy to rest with Malcaliantie defeated and restore MY rule of the Queztals as mama and papa intended, rest them. But confound Malcaliantie for being an envious brat that can’t accept their final words and his dreams of wanting to be "Ruler of the skies"?! Now he aims to gather all birds in a ritual circle to transfer all of the Great Sky Serpent's power to him, and way I see, the best case scenario is just NOW WE HAVE MY IDIOT BROTHER DOING WHATEVER HE WANTS WITH THE POWER?! WORSE CASE, THE GREAT SKY SERPENT WAKES UP AND-.... That bares no need of repeating. Now, if you two don't mind, (Slithers off)...."
• Dreadeye: "..... (Quietly) Honestly, given how bad Malcaliantie is, I'm not that surprised Malchokabo is actually a lesser evil."
• Rey Stormare: "..... (Angered and quietly) Should've figured Malcho was nothing but dark hype! Now my ability to be able to defeat Malcaliantie in the prophecy is FURTHER from my grasp!"
• Dreadeye: "(Noted a droped VL ID with Malcho's name and face on)...... Helllllooooooooo. (Pick up the ID)..... I think this more than confirms the rumors that Malcho was playing with otherworldly nonsense too. (Shows Rey)..."
• Rey Stormare: "..... (Grins wickedly).... (Chuckles).... Well, if I can't have the place in the prophecy, then I have the next best thing: Condemning that serpent to never have his lost life back. (Starts laughing)"
• Dreadeye: Hahahahaaaa!! AHAHAHAHAA… (They both laughed maniacally) WHY-HY AHRE WE LAUGHING LIKE THIS?!
• Rey Stormare:… Ahem… So, we doing this?
• Dreadeye: You got that right.

French Narrator: Meanwhile…

• Icky, Iago, Gilda and Thundra were with the Rio birds.
• Gilda: So, Iags? Everything you hoped for to forgetting the reason your voice should change any moment?
• Iago: You HAD to phrase that differently?
• Gilda: Sor-RY! Manners aren’t everybody’s thing.
• Icky: Lay off the birdy, babe. Gilb’s death isn’t really the focus anymore.
• Gilda: Then I suppose that’s a big fat yes. Thank you plot-shifting.
• Iago: (To himself) I’ll show YOU plot-shifting.
• Icky: Hey, only I can do that.
• Iago: Gross.
• Icky: Don’t love it til you try it. Anyway, how are you thinking we deal with this Malcalientie problem?
• Iago: Oh, so just because I am the focus of this adventure and I’M the lost child here, it’s MY decision? These 'colorbirds' and the thunderbirds hate each other. What makes me so special?
• Icky: Nothing. Really, this turned from a memorial episode into an average episode.
• Iago: Well HAPPY DAY! We gotta deal with Malcho’s brother now that we just so happened to bump into his work. Why not just get Malcho here and have HIM clean up HIS mess?
• Thundera: Is that sarcasm?
• Iago: Could be. But, really, since he’s a no-show, AND a no-go given he’s a B-List Villain League member, typically it’s up to us. It feels like everywhere we go, we walk straight to the doorstep of an adventure.
• Thundra: That IS who we are, mi amor.
• Iago: No s***, but can fate just take it down a notch and have an episode that DOESN’T have the formula of "heroes find new villains, they defeat said villains, they move on to the next, the end"?
• Gilda: Now you’re starting to sound like… You-know-who.
• Iago: Who?
• Gilda:… You, know, who.
• Iago: No, seriously, who?
• Gilda: Ugh, fine, DEADPOOL!
• (Deadpool): DID SOMEBODY CAAaaaaAAAAAL- (Gilda punched him away)
• Gilda: Celestia’s nonexistent beard, Iago, I figured you as smarter than that.
• Iago: You kidding? All I’m good for is mostly comic relief. Just ask Gilbert- OHHHHHHH, TOO SOOOOON, MEEEEEEE?!
• Thundra: Can we save the ranting for later, por favor? These people need us right now.
• Iago: Might as well, if it means I don’t spend all day yelling or quoting my voice twins. I got no ideas, so, thunderwave, you got any? If so, rain it on me.
• Thundra: Perhaps an unlikely alliance between both our kind can provide a decent advantage against Malcalientie and his attacks. Eventually they’ll rally and take the fight to Malcalientie himself.
• Icky: "Well just the matter of getting them to get over long-standing petty rivalries."
• Gilda: And that means, ugh, brainstorming. What exactly DO the thunderbirds and 'colorbirds' as they call themselves, hate about each other? And, how long has it been a thing?
• Thundra: As for how long it has been going on, I am uncertain. As for why it happens, it’s fairly simple. Thunderbirds pride themselves as the guardians of weather and this rainforest. That was something the colorbirds have done. As you can imagine, the colorbirds may have been jealous, especially since we thunderbirds are on a more arcane level. We control the 'rain' in 'rainforest'.
• Iago: Buuut, the colorbirds control the 'forest' in rainforest. BOOM! We have our key to their coexistence. They both need to see that, MAYBE, they’re BOTH needed. Thunderbirds are the rain, colorbirds are the forest. Bibbidy bobbidy boo, put them together, and what do you get?
• Icky: A Disney lawsuit.
• Iago: Icky, we’re LITERALLY in the Disney Universe. AND I'm a Disney character, so it's legal for me to say it. Heck, me and Jafar once did a cover on the song in House of Mouse!
• Icky: You did? Oh yeah, you did. Whatever, your point is made.
• Gilda: It’s settled, then?
• Thundra: Si, but, it’s clearly not going to be easier than we’d like it to be. The time spent on this rivalry is important as it, adds more and more incidents that pile on their racism.
• Iago: We gotta do SOMETHING! Heck, we’re a couple. How much more proof do these birdbrains need?
• Thundra: Mi amor, you need more than THAT. They would only see us as a minority.
• Gilda: Yeah, unless I see some cupid’s arrows around to make interracial couples out of, I don’t see how that’ll work. And I for one would prefer NOT to play unethical matchmaker. Didn't worked well for the CMC I once heard from Rainbow Dash.
• Iago: Well then why don’t we see if there’s any Romeos and Juliets around these two?
• Thundra: That would take too long. We instead show them how much they need each other.
• Iago: And, not to pass the baton to another because I’m not willing to settle a racial dispute, how do we do that?
• Thundra: I may have some ideas.

Later…

• Gilda:… This is a dogs*** idea, you know that, right?
• Iago: Do NOT judge my girl’s ideas. She knows what she’s doing. (Some colorbirds and thunderbirds were invited in the same spot together)… Well… Time for action. (He flew in with Thundra)
• Fulgur:… Sweetie… Why are we now being seen with these guys?!
• Ignatius: That’s what I’M wondering, RAINBOA!!
• Iago: "Cause we felt like your racial dispute is why it was so easy for Malcaliantie to give you guys so much trouble."
• Ignatius: ".... Some part of me wants to protest, but a stronger part has it's curiosity peaked. Okay, enlighten me, how is our mere species dispute beneficial to the Quezt?"
• Iago: "Well, for starters, it keeps ya divided, ergo it makes us "Colorbirds" easier to raid like it's nothing."
• Ignatius: "Hmm, hmm, fair enough, but that doesn't exactly excuse the weather shenanigans-"
• Fulgar: "Not all weather situations are cause of us, Ignatius. Sometimes your own forest gets natural thunderstorms that have no input from us whatsoever! We only CONTROL the weather, NOT influence it."
• Gilda: True that. This isn’t Equestria.
• Icky: Babe, they don’t know what that is.
• Ignatius: "Okay sure, fair enough, but it'd be NICE if ya do those powers to KEEP the natural weather from being a pest?! It rains too much when we want to sunbath!?"
• Fulgar: "Really, you complain about a rainforest, having rain?"
• Ignatius: "A-........... Okay I get how that sounds like we're dodo-brains, but the constant rain is STILL annoying?!"
• Fulgar: "Bare in mind your beloved trees need water too so the entire land doesn’t turn into a desert!"
• Ignatius: "And no one misses that point, but-"
• Fulgur: But nothing. Everything in nature exists in a delicate balance. We thunderbirds know to never upset that balance with our powers. If anything, if it IS possessing too much rain, that’s on the Quetzals’ part. They just knew who you were gonna blame.
• Icky: He’s got’cha there, guys.
• Ignatius: Be that as it may, where were you when THAT was happening? Maybe then you wouldn’t be taking the heat wave.
• Fulgur: If that’s supposed to be a weather pun, I’m being serious here.
• Ignatius: So am I. If your job is to maintain balance with the weather, where were you when the Quetzals were breaking it?
• Fulgur: Who said we WEREN’T responding to it? Thunderbirds and Quetzalcoatls have been enemies longer than we and Colorbirds have.
• Thundra: Father is right. Thunderbirds like us have been overwhelmed by two feuds here. Why do you THINK they can’t do their job properly?
• Ignatius:… Wow… When you, put it like that… We feel more like DOODOO-brains than dodo-brains.
• Fulgur: I’m slightly tempted to say you should.
• Iago: Me too.
• Ignatius: Really, son?!
• Iago: Am I wrong, dad?
• Ignatius:… Well… No, but, whatever.
• Thundra: So as you can see, without proper time, the combination of the Quetzalcoatls and the inability to properly control weather, has resulted in your conflict getting worse. This is why, you colorbirds need to make amends with my people. Me and Iago are amors, so it is possible.
• Ignatius: "..... To be frank, it wasn't like getting up at the Thunderbirds was fixing the situation anyway."
• Fulgur: "So it's agreed then?"
• Ignatius: "Yes. Maybe it was too easy to suspect birds with god tier power over the weather and completely forget about the Quezts. Especially since this is a world that acknowledges mythics."
• Yaggitha: But, you should know it’s not just that. It paved the way for more incidents and rivalries that-
• Thundra: That CAN be fixed. Thunderbirds and colorbirds share the same enemigo. So, you must learn to form an alliance, or you may not make it.
• Fulgur: Well, we’ll try.
• Iago: If there’s one thing I learned watching movies about wise old farts… There IS no trying.
• Fulgur: What, does that mean?
• Tormenta: I believe it’s a vague way of saying, trying means you aren’t willing to do your best. So you just have to do it to yield the best results.
• Fulgur:… Okay, we’ll… Do?
• Tormenta:… Close enough. (The two species hesitantly shook in alliance)
• Gilda: I still think this isn’t going to work. But, I am going to give the benefit of the doubt. I just hope your parents know what they’re doing.
• Iago/Thundra: I hope so too.

Meanwhile…

• Malcho: (He saw his family temple)… It’s… A lot less different than I expected it. Okay, Malcho, just, stay out of sight. Malcaliente probably won’t know you’re here if you- (He was teleported directly in)… F***! I forgot they had magic sensing.
• Malcalientie: Well, well, WELL. Look who’s FINALLY come slithering back home.
• Malcho: "In my defense, it was kinda hard to do that earlier with the banishment thing and all! Where's Mi'Amore?"
• Malcaliente: "Oh she's fine, she's at her own temple. And don't worry..... She doesn't YET know about your, little friends ya went and play Darkspawn Cultist with."
• Malcho: "NOT A CULT- Ugh, no wonder Mang wants the league to reevaluate things since the Xehanort fiasco."
• Malcaliente: "But I'll warn that things will change VERY quickly if you try and meddle in my affairs!"
• Malcho: "Not if I strike too hard for you to even BLINK?!"
• Malcaliente: "(Laughs), Not gonna lie, half of me is nostalgic of our old back and forth!"
• Malcho: "TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY, YOU BASTURDO?!"
• Malcaliente: "You know that's not a real Spanish word for bastard-"
• Malcho: "YES BUT IT INSULTS YOU?! (More Quetz show up)..... Tell your serpents to back off, this is between US!"
• Malcaliente: Oh, don’t mind them, they just wanna observe. It really is good to see you again.
• Malcho: I don’t believe that.
• Malcaliente: What, a brother can’t love his brother?
• Malcho: YOU STOLE MY MI AMOR!!!
• Malcaliente: You really think she’d stay with you when I could have given her more? While you were off with your NEW family, I was actually upholding your REAL family’s name. (The Quetzals oohed)
• Malcho: I DIDN’T ASK FOR A LIVE STUDIO AUDIENCE!!!
• Malcaliente: Let’s face it. You care more about Mi'Amore than the bigger picture. Ya went through a lot to get her back, and ya ended up forgetting we existed.
• Malcho: If I were you, I’d watch my forked tongue before it gets torn out.
• Malcaliente: Oh I’m SO scared. I’m right, am I not? You just became a villain trying to get the girl.
• Malcho: IS THIS ALL JUST A GAME TO YOU?!
• Malcaliente: "Oh it gets serious when I use the power of the Birds' magic to awaken the Great Sky Serpent."
• Malcho: "And upset her enough of what a disgrace we became and trigger a rapture?! Have you misplaced your marbles?!"
• Malcaliente: Not as much as YOU have.
• Malcho: HAH! At least I am not crazy enough to SUGGEST that. My only crime was taking a weather amulet to impress a girl YOU STOLE! Cease this banter, AND this plot at once!
• Malcaliente: Or WHAT? You’ll thrash me? You have NO IDEA how powerful I have become in the time you’ve been gone.
• Malcho: Then why not educate me? I think you may just educate yourself more.
• Malcaliente:… If that’s what you want, then so be it. (He expanded his wings and exploded in power, unleashing lightning at him as he flew and twisted around them before tail-lashing him)
• Malcho: HAHAAA!
• Malcaliente: Is THAT all you learned? How to FLY IN STYLE?! How droll. (He unleashed more magic, but he managed to rebound some of it back at him) AAAGHHH!!!
• Malcho: Want a second opinion, muchacho?
• Malcaliente:… You WISH!
• Malcho: "Oh look at you being triggered!"
• Malcaliente: DRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!! (They continued fighting, but soon Malcho was beaten down) See?! You can still never best me. What have they taught you in the Villain League, hmm? How to be cocky and condescending?
• Malcho:… I’ll be back! (He left)
• Malcaliente: AND I’LL BE WAITING!!! (He laughed smugly) OH I NEEDED THIS TODAY! I never felt prouder and more motivated in my entire life.
• Malcho: (He fled as fast as he could and rested)… Curses! All these years wasted…. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I need help. (He got a communicator out) NO! No! Don’t call them. Those who are jerks will just have something to rub in my face as a "D-Lister"... But on a more serious note, I can't risk being seen with them in front of Mi'Amore, then she'll never take me back…. I need DIFFERENT help… But who?… (Remembers what Rey said before).... Guess I have no choice but to play with the prophecy then. Ugh, but the obvious thing is that Thundra and that annoying parrot are basically your enemies, not helping we both fight for opposing groups! (Frustracted groans), But maybe I can sway them to believe we share the same enemy in my idiota of a brother! Sure, I won't be given a warm welcome, but surely, they can see that I would be a blessing in disguise dealing with-

Not even a few moments later.

• Malcho was comedically pinned to the ground by Rio parrots....
• Malcho: "..... AY CRUMBA MALCALIANTE, DID YOU MADE THINGS SERIOUSLY THIS BAD YOU IDIOTA OF A BROTHER?!"
• Iago: "(Shows up with Thundra, Icky and Gilda) Of course YOU showed up. Let me guess, the League wants in on this mess?"
• Malcho: ".... Would it surprise you if I said no?"
• Icky: "Well depends if whether or not you're trying to BULLS*** us."
• Malcho: "Okay look, I'm not unaware of bad tidings, but this time I am not here 'cause of League business! I was summoned here by this Rey guy and some scarred up parrot for INITIALLY their goals of trying to disrupt the prophecy Thundra is meant to do, but of course they underestimated that my reasons for what I had done with the medallion was to enable me to be a match to my brother Malcaliante so I instead went after him myself! (Everyone was surprised by this) Course alas you can tell how well THAT went. Anyway-"
• Icky: "Okay you convinced us, you're not here on League Business."
• Thundra: "You better start explaining what you're talking about all the same!"
• Malcho: "Well, you know how my brother is harassing the parrots?"
• Iago: "The apparent correct term is "Colorbird", Mal-Choke."
• Malcho: "It's because he's trying to gather all of them together to awake the Great Sky Serpent."
• Fulgar: "THAT was his intention?! But doesn't he realize his actions of doing so would upset her?!"
• Malcho: "THAT'S WHAT I TRIED TO TELL THAT IDIOTA, BUT HE NEVER LISTENS TO ME!!"
• Icky: "Okay sorry now there's missing Context here, Great Sky Serpent? What is that and why does it sound like it involves elder gods?"
• Tormenta: "The Great Sky Serpent was with the elemental serpent elder gods that created this world-"
• Icky: "Called it. Though granted with the existence of the Worlders it's more like they got the idea to make the world of Agrabah as it is and then got the world to exist here-"
• Tormenta: "Well it's to say the Elemental Serpents helped further in the creation process and introduced life whereas the Worlders only offer a base for them to work with."
• Icky: "Oh good you people practice cosmology here, I was worried of being called out as a contradiction by this belief system for these bigger snake gods."
• Ignatius: "They're much more then "Bigger Snake Gods." They are the parents of all that exist on our world. Even if not all are aware of it, they owe their existence to the serpents."
• Iago: "But where do they fit in this Prophecy Thundra's apart of?"
• ???: "She's meant to prevent an un-making caused by Malcaliante's arrogance."
• An old Rio Bird shows up.
• Ignatius: "(Bows) The Sage of Rio."
• Icky: Hoo boy, the old sage character who only exists as an exposition dump.
• Thundra: OYE!
• Icky: You know I mean no disrespect with my rants, T!
• Gilda: "..... That is one old parrot- (The Rio Birds got firm) YOW?! Okay I'm detecting this is a hyper-respected figure here, sorry, got that now."
• Thundra: See?
• Icky: Just saying, that’s what he is to any reader.
• Sage of Rio: "..... Riddled of his own sins aside, this lesser disgrace to his family name speaks the truth."
• Malcho: "Oh sure, rub it in why don't ya?"
• Sage of Rio: "Malcho seeks not to be an enemy."
• Icky: "(Quietly) If until the League says otherwise."
• Malcho: Look, if we’re all being honest with meta here, we’re all just characters here. The Villain League is just characters like you only separated by alignmemt. We have our ceasefires at times, and really, we have lives too. Hell, some of YOUR members are on the side of evil, Hyenas primarily, and a lot of us are members of other crossover leagues of evil like the Horde of Darkness, Scourge, not to be confused with-
• Icky: Dark D, yeah, we got that.
• Iago: Damn, we never heard those names in, forever now.
• Malcho: Exactly.
• Icky:… You D-Listers have a lot of time to think about this, don’t you?
• Malcho: Si. We three villain teams are reevaluating too.
• Icky: Yeah, probably because MSM is growing distant because of stories happening elsewhere.
• Malcho: Look, the point is, we all have our old motives, some canon never explains.
• Thundra: "Well what exactly did you mean by him not being an enemy, Sage?"
• Sage of Rio: It’s time you learned the truth about him.
• Icky:… Yeah, we could go for a backstory. We have bigger things to do than beat the s*** outta a Villain Leaguer barely used.
• Malcho: Just because it’s true doesn’t make it less hurtful. Besides, we D-Listers always have the best suggestions for reevaluation. Even your old hunt buddy Dil.
• Icky: That dry-throat swimming deformed rock?
• Malcho: Si! Now let the old timer explain. I’m a little too shy to tell it myself.
• Sage of Rio:… Years ago, Malcho and his brother Malcaliente were fighting for rulership.

Flashback…

• (Sage of Rio): The two were always rivals. Malcaliente was the oldest, and always found methods to be better than Malcho. They both did terrible things for their parents, hence their names. However, they both shared two things in common: determination AND ambition.
• (Malcho): It’s true. We were ALWAYS competitive-
• (Icky): Atatat! You gave the rights to backstory telling to the Sage.
• (Sage): Then Malcho found something that he knew would give him the last laugh. For a time he was dating a lovely Quetzalcoatl princess Mi’Amore.
• (Icky): Christ the Redeemer, do your naming conventions ALWAYS have to be Spanish? I mean sure we're basically in South America, so it be weird if say there was one of you name "Joe" or "Steve" or what have ya, but can't you people at least use Spanish words ACTUALLY intended to be names!? I mean really, a name like that is just begging for-
• (Sage): THIS time, the naming convention was on purpose. Mi’Amore’s parents wanted a precautionary lineage to their own dying kingdom. They just, did not expect Malcho to be their daughter’s pick. So, Malcho, worrying what Malcaliente would do if he was crowned king, decided to propose. This landed him in the title as heir to the throne instantly.
• (Gilda): HAH! I bet Malcally took that in strife.
• (Sage): He did. (Malcaliente was seen raging out like mad)
• (Malcho): "Tch, and he calls me the spoiled brat."
• (Iago): "Your wings are not clean of having a bad temper yourself, Malcho-a-boke!"
• (Sage): But unfortunately, Malcaliente would not give up so easily. He was already stronger than Malcho, but he went further. He called upon ancient powers not used in ages. The Elder Sky Serpent gave him untold divine power in exchange for a single simple goal: to release him from their prison, promising he would be more than king. He would rule the skies alongside him. And so… He challenged Malcho for the throne. None yet knew what he did. But he dirtily kept this power a surprise. So when it began… He won, rather quickly. His power was beyond anything Malcho could ever prepare for. Stealing back his position, he banished Malcho, and according to law, his bride had to be passed on to him. Thus, Mi'Amore was his.
• (Iago): Ohhhhhh. What an asshole.
• (Icky): Yeah, not the biggest one we’ve met, but still one nonetheless.
• (Sage): So Malcho swore to reclaim his place and the one he loved. He searched the rainforest for ages, and he always failed to best his brother in every challenge. But his latest attempt? He took a Weather Medallion from a passed thunderbird kingdom, and thus… The rest is history.

Present

• Iago: Uno freaking momento! Mal… You’re telling us-
• Makcho: HE did.
• Iago: That all your abuse of weather power, and the stuff with Thundra, even down to the villainous facade… Was all just so you can do a Simba and reclaim your rightful place as king?!
• Malcho: AND get my carino back, si.
• Thundra:… And you never told anybody? Not even the Villain League?
• Malcho: Think of it like this. The thing about villains is the one-sided cliche that they always lose. I was thinking, if I became the ONLY muchacho to EVER win, at something, I would be ready for Malcaliente. I joined the Villain League feeling that medallion wasn’t enough. Especially since my first confrontation with your boyfriend. My brother’s power was astronomical! But time, has a bad habit of making you forget… Really, I couldn’t tell if that was for the best, that maybe I’d remember when I was good and ready, or if the prophecy actually began.
• Iago: Hyeah. And what a good time you spent with those guys. Do you think Mi’Amore is gonna take you back after all these years and your time in the Villain League?
• Malcho: Yes, actually. It’s remarkably simple. All these years, and she’s never loved Malcaliente unconditionally. Her heart belongs to me and me alone.
• Iago: And you’re sure he hasn’t brainwashed her in any way Kaa or Hiss style or something?
• Malcho: Heh, kinky.
• Iago: OH NOT LIKE THAT!!! Damn you, Internet!
• Malcho: I KNOW Mi'Amore, and I know she’s never changed a day. She swore that she’d wait until the end of time for me, because nobody can steal her heart but me.
• Gilda: Cheesy much?
• Icky: "Well, even then, surely ya wouldn't want her to even know a tidbit of what ya got caught up with."
• Malcho: ".... Okay, sure, I do want to keep what I had been up to, private. I don't question Mi'Amore's love, but I also don't underestimate her morality. I'm not gonna pretend she would actually stomach what I did. So, if you all would kindly keep all that secret, that be great."
• Tormenta: "Well, maybe WE would, but did you ensure Rey and Dreadeye would consider the same?"
• Malcho: "(Uneased)..... Duh, I mean, like Mi'Amore would listen to two random CLEARLY evil looking birds-"
• Iago: "OF WHICH ARE THE REASON YOU CAME BACK AND WOULD PRESENT EVIDENCE THAT THEY DID?!"
• Malcho: ".... I mean even then, Rey has abit of a bad reputation with even my kind, and come on, the Dreadeye guy speaks for himself on how UNTRUSTWORTHY HE SOUNDS FROM NAME ALONE?! Mi'Amore is smart enough to not trust ANYTHING they would say!"
• Gilda: "Normally yeah, but at the same time...... You'd been gone for like, forever. Even IF she takes what those two say with a grain of salt, she WILL want to hear from YOUR mouth. And you said so yourself, she's not stupid, she WILL want you to be honest?! And if she is as moral as you say, she's gonna have some FREAKING CHOICE words for you."
• Malcho: "OH THOSE FEATHERY RATS BETTER NOT?! PLEASE, LET ME GO, I HAVE TO GO AFTER THEM BEFORE THEY RUIN MY LOVE LIFE FOREVER?!"
• Fulgur: "Knowing Rey, he never slows down on any act of deception, and would likely be heading to her now."
• Malcho: MIEEERDE!!! I MUST STOP THEEEM!! (He flew off)
• Gilda:… So… That happened.
• Sage: I fear he will never make it in time.
• Iago:…
• Icky:…
• Gilda:…
• Thundra:…
• Iago: (Sighs) Are we doing this, for a Villain Leaguer?
• Icky: We’re all cartoons. Some are literally BORN to be evil. So, might as well do something. Cause hey, maybe there's a chance Malcho would retire from the League from this, admitingly depending on if Mang would go through with that, cause one hand the League barely even utilizes him, but there's also the factoid they didn't know what he was really up to, and well, Mang does have a history of not letting league members call it quits easily.
• Iago: Alright, but even with us, it won’t be any prettier than Mi'Amore. Cause believe me, hell has no fury like a woman scorned, especially after ya ghost them for YEARS on end like how Malcho did!
• Gilda: "Damn straight it doesn't."
• Thundra: Cannot be helped if that’s the case, giblet.
• Iago:… Wow, when’s the last time you called me that?
• Thundra: Too long ago. 20 years at worst. Now that we know Malcho’s true deal, we must work on our own reevaluation and… Help him out.
• Iago: Then let’s do it. He might be our best shot at bringing down Malcal.
• Ignatius: And clearly I need a little chat with Dreadeye for plotting against me.
• Iago: I knew it all the time.

Later…

• Ignatius: MIERDE! (Dreadeye was gone with a note saying "Sorry, man, but it’s just… Something personal.")… That’s all he can say for himself? Yet at this point, should this really surprise me anymore?
• Iago: Again, I knew it all-
• Ignatius: Rainboa, you already said it, you don’t have to pile up on it.
• Iago: Juuuust saying.
• Yaggitha: Do you ever get annoying with that commentary, son?
• Iago: Not according to everyone who loved Gilbert before he died.
• Gilda: Unnecessary meta aside, we might also have to worry about that other guy, Rey Tormenta- I mean, Stormare. Wow, our minds are so fixated on doing that?
• Fulgur: At least HE was taken care of.
• Ignatius: What’s THAT supposed to mean?
• Fulgur: Juuuuust saying, this was too predictable.
• Thundra: Papa, let’s not break this truce you… Hesitantly established. We can still stop Malcaliente before he unleashes horrors he knows next to nothing about.
• Fulgur: You sure about that? Many of our most powerful thunderbirds tried and failed.
• Icky: Because none of them were us… I mean, just the one thunderbird. We’ve had our fair share of this kind of madness. Tell em, Thundra.
• Thundra: Indeed it is true. Many of which are things we wish we didn’t.
• Yaggitha: Well, some of you ARE from other worlds, so, what part of that can’t we believe?
• Icky: "Well at this point I would've suggested getting Louger back up, but let's be frank, this and the next episode are being designed to happen at the same time, so the others might be busy with the plot of that episode."
• Ignatius: "Terms we can understand?"
• Icky: "(Sighs), It's to say that the Louger Life is always a busy one and the others might be in the middle of something else right about now? So our opition instead is to try and figure out where Dreadeye Makunga Parrot and Rey are heading to."
• Ignatius: Hard to say for certain. My closest guess is wherever Stormare stayed since his exile, but none have never heard from him since then.
• Iago: THINK!
• Fulgur:… Perhaps… There IS one place. But we don’t think it’s still up. The Stormare Temple.
• Gilda: Heh. HOME? Fat chance, that is literally the first place we’d look.
• Icky: Gil, what do we always saw after saying that?
• Gilda:… If it’s literally the first place we’d look and we know it, they’ll know it and be there.
• Icky: Bingo doodle doo.
• Iago: That almost feels racist.
• Icky: You mean speciesist.
• Gilda: I’d say birdist.
• Thundra: Can we just GO THERE, POR FAVOR?!
• Everyone: YES!

Stormare Temple

• Dreadeye: I still say this is a dhole s*** idea. They’ll STILL look here first.
• Rey Stormare: That’s why we’ll play them into a trap with their own… Uh… Unorthodoxy.
• Dreadeye: And how do you propose we do that?
• Rey Stormare: For once, I’m keeping that to myself. They’ll make you crack, INSTANTLY!
• Dreadeye: You joking? Do I LOOK like I’d cra- (Rey kicked him in the crotch) AAAUAUAUAAAHHGH, OKAY, I’LL CRACK, HE’S LEADING YOU INTO A TRAP!!!
• Rey Stormare: Question answered.
• Dreadeye: Hey man, we’re supposed to be partners.
• Rey Stormare: Relationships are built on compromise. Besides, we’re NOT staying long. This is ONLY to stall them, so that we may present Malcy’s PRECIOUS girl with his new allegiance. (He showed Malcho’s VL ID) Don’t let your greed be your downfall. This is PRIMARILY to leave the prophecy for us, and NOT for just power. You admit that’s all you want.
• Dreadeye: That was YEARS ago. People change.
• Rey Stormare: Could’ve fooled me. Just help me remove more than bricks.
• Dreadeye: "Okay fine, sheesh." (They proceeded to rig the entire temple to destabilize it)… And you’re entirely willing to destroy your ancestral home?
• Rey Stormare: We already destroyed it when we left it behind. It’s dead to us.
• Dreadeye: Oooh. I like your apathy. And you’re ALSO sure those literal birdbrains are gonna fall for it?
• Rey Stormare: Not too slightly. Tall tales of the Shell Lodge Squad reach far and wide across worlds and realms. Their ability to humiliate, shame, and entertain are unrivaled. So, if they’re GOING to fall for it, it HAS to be done perfectly.
• Dreadeye: If you say so, but, again, doubt it will work.
• Rey Stormare: Neither do I, but even if it doesn’t kill them, which I doubt, it WILL keep them occupied, or trapped while we proceed.
• Dreadeye: Sorry, haven’t really been an active bad guy until now.
• Rey Stormare: Calling us 'bad guys' is a little one-sided, don’t you think?
• Dreadeye: People called me Dreadeye, even though I have a real name. They were practically BEGGING for it. The legit life was fine for a while, but just a joke, and something unfulfilling. Iggy had to KNOW this day was coming. ALRIGHT! That’s the last brick you requested removed.
• Rey Stormare: Well, it’s unfortunate YOU were set up for this life. I was knocked into it when I was overthrown. I alone can enact the prophecy and stop Malcaliente from unleashing the Serpent.
• Dreadeye: You really think Mi'Amore’s gonna dump Malcho just because she sees a product of times? People change, but that doesn’t mean it murders the past.
• Rey Stormare: There’s no time to dawdle on the ifs. The sooner we leave the better. All we need now is the bait.
• Dreadeye:… Hmm… I think I have an idea.
• Rey Stormare: You THINK?
• Dreadeye: Oh at least it’s AN idea.
• Rey Stormare: You know what, leave the planning to me. But, if you have suggestions on improvement, I’m all earholes.
• Dreadeye:… We, use your weather powers to, cloud their perception-
• Rey Stormare: Already thought of that. (The temple was surrounded by a torrent of storm clouds)
• Dreadeye:… Why do I even bother?
• Rey Stormare: "Hopeless desire for validation?"
• Dreadeye: That was rhetorical!
• Rey Stormare: I don’t care. Let’s move. They’ll be here any second- (He was already gone)… Why do, I, even bother? (He left)
• The group arrived.....
• Icky: ".... Okay I know experience tells me that it's normally a part of the aesthetic for old ruins to have foreboding storms, but, I can't help but feel like this isn't naturally occurring."
• Thundra: Almost hard to tell if it is it not. Either way, this is definitely where they’re hiding.
• Gilda: Mmmmmhmmmmm.
• Icky: Well, let’s be Lodgers, and kick their tail feathers in their asses.
• Gilda: Hold on! I’m getting an Abysmal Abyss red flag here. The wind will make flight, hard.
• Iago: Not for a thunderbird, it won’t. Madame, get ridda these false gods’ wrath.
• Thundra: As you wish. (She tried, but it didn’t work)… I seem to get Crystal North red flags from this storm. It behaves with a mind of its own. It IS thunderbird in origin, but, its power is beyond any I’ve seen. Rey Stormare has grown stronger.
• Gilda: Well, fart in the wind. Looks like we’re winging it.
• Iago: Ah don’t set yourself up for a pratfall, Gildster.
• Gilda: I HAVE claws to anchor myself to the ground.
• Iago: So would any native griffins, and, well, look there! (They saw griffin skeletons)
• Gilda:… Why didn’t we see them until now?
• Griffin Skeleton: We’re REALLY self-conscious about our bones, even though it’s all that’s left of us.
• Gilda:… Sorry.
• Iago: Wha- you’re not freaked out??
• Gilda: Aw c’mon, this ain’t the first living skeletons we encountered. And they won’t be the last.
• Icky: "Also, combared to what we fought before down to even Eldridge Gods, Spooky Scary Skeletons are like an old fad, just doesn't work anymore."
• Griffin Skeleton #2: Kill, us! We’ve been here for a thousand ye- (Gilda stomped their skulls to pieces)
• Gilda:… You’re welcome.
• Icky: Well chosen, babe.
• Iago: Alright, so, how do we get in there without being literally rocked like a hurricane?
• Thundra: Simple. We fight weather with weather. We make our own hurricane. (She cast one that distorted the other, but it destabilized the winds) TODOS AGUANTENSE!
• Icky: English, madam- GYAAAAAAAHHH!!! (He was blown away)
• Thundra: Everybody hold on.
• Icky: TheeEEN JUUuust… SaaAAY THAAaat… YaAA COLored… CloUDBALL!!! (He grabbed onto a tree with his eyelids and mouth cartoonishly flabbing in the wind) AaAaAaAaAah!!!
• Gilda: "(Rolls eyes) Always the jester of the episodes, Ick."
• Icky: It’s a cartoon, WE’RE ALL JESTERS!!!
• Gilda: NICE MOVE, THUNDERHEAD!!! NOW WHAT DO WE DO?!?
• Thundra: I CAN control the wind. (She used the wind to push them through and into the temple)… Could have asked instead of calling me names.
• Gilda: Scuse ME for wanting to live!!
• Iago: Again, we’re cartoons too loved to die.
• Icky: Who cares?! We’re in. And… Wow, is it me, or is this place s******r on the inside?
• Iago: It’s ancient ruins, it’s ALWAYS gonna be s******r on the inside.
• Icky: "Remembering from personal experience, yeah, I guess that's kinda the point of ruins is to look like utter crap."
• Gilda: Good, then that means we don’t have to worry about booby trap- (She set one off) AW COME ON!!! THEY STILL WORK?!
• Icky: Again, cartoon.
• Gilda: Oh f*** it. Let’s do this. (They went through the traps in a comical montage)… That was too easy.
• Thundra: I agree. Something’s off.
• Gilda: Ahh, classic villain tactic. Making us think it’s too easy when it really IS too easy-… Wait, that’s not classic.
• Iago: Well, villains have to learn sometime.
• Thundra: Uno momento!… There shouldn’t be booby traps unless there’s treasure to defend… Those booby traps were the storm outside and pressure from our arrival… THIS IS A TRA- (The storm crackled lightning and collapsed the temple atop them)
• Dreadeye: *Wheeeeeze* HAH! HAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!
• Stormare: They'll be out of there, don’t laugh so loud they can hear you.
• Dreadeye: Sorry, it’s just, HAH! You'd think they’d catch on sooner. Even IGNATIUS saw things like that coming.
• Stormare: This is not a game. Stop treating it as such like they do and come with me. (They flew away)

Underneath Rubble

• Iago:… Great! That better be Thundra's feathered ass I'm trapped under!
• Icky: It’s mine.
• Iago: EW!! (He flipped him off)
• Icky: HEY, I WIPE!!
• Iago: "It's still man-ass that was on me and I ain't crazy for it?!"
• Icky: "Well at least be assured it was CLEAN man-ass!"
• Gilda: Way to catch on too late, thunderhead!
• Thundra: It takes TIME to analyze situations, grifo!
• Gilda: TOO SLOW!!! Can you just wind us out of here?!
• Thundra: Si, just-… Espere! Where’s my medallion??
• Gilda:… YOU LOST YOUR MEDALLION?! I thought you had some strong bond to it or some s***!
• Thundra: It's not ATTACHED to my body!
• Iago: EVERYONE, STOP! I hate it when we argue. (Gilda's voice) LOOK AT ME, I AIN'T NICE TO EVEN MY OWN S***!! (Normally) Let’s just find that medallion and BLOW THIS MESS AWAY!!
• Icky: "No problem, look for a golden necklace with a large talismen on it, can't miss it!"
• Thundera: Ahem, we are still trapped under he- (Gilda used her brute strength to burst them out)
• Gilda: I believed the words you were looking for were "please and thank you". NOW we can find the medallion. (She dug out the rubble massively)
• Icky: (Whistles) Was she always that strong?
• Thundera: We must hurry. This trap was meant to throw us off. Don’t give them the advantage looking for my medallion.
• Iago: We better have a way to make you know weather powers without the medallion after this, babe.
• Thundera: Si. Could not agree more. (They searched)

Meanwhile…

• Malcaliente: (Someone approached his throne room)… Who told you you could leave the bedroom?
• Mi'Amore: Who died making you king, because it certainly was not your father.
• Malcaliente: Heh. I like your sass, but it won’t make me overlook your-
• Mi'Amore: You think I didn’t hear your fight with mi amor?
• Malcaliente:… You or Malcho?
• Mi'Amore: Latter, yes, so now it’s the former.
• Malcaliente: Ayayaye!
• Mi'Amore: Damn right ayayaye! You know my heart belongs to him.
• Malcaliente: Not for long. I’m sure you'll learn soon enough what he wasted his life on.
• Mi'Amore:… Hmhmhmhmhmhm. Typical of people on this world, being so misogynistic. Just because I'm a woman, doesn’t mean I don’t know my ABCs. You, on the other hand? You couldn’t know the 27th letter.
• Malcaliente:… 27th? What, what is it?
• Mi'Amore: HAH! You actually fell for it. My case is rested.
• Malcaliente: (Sighs deeply)
• Mi'Amore: Don’t sigh me! You knew this day was coming.
• Malcaliente: Of course I did. Just sooner than I expected. But it hardly matters. Even with all his efforts, he still holds no candle to me.
• Mi'Amore:… Know this, Malcaliente. If Malcho dies, I will die with him.
• Malcaliente:… What’s sadder than someone wasting his life for a girl, is the girl wasting her life FOR him.
• Mi'Amore: I already wasted a lifetime. One more won't hurt. The day I see him whip your butt, or lack thereof, I'll have a toast to celebrate. All I have to say is that someone had to bring him here. Either someone has it out for you, or you wanted to turn him against me in some way. Either way, my heart will NEVER be swayed. You better hope you have a single prayer left, if the gods hadn’t forsaken you already. (She left)
• Malcaliente:… Hmph. Damn broad. She'll see the light soon enough. One way or another. Just wait until she figures out what Malcho wasted his life on....

Chapter 5: Malcaliantie's Plan

Back at the temple.

• The group arrived to Aztec-like hieroglyphics that depict the prophecy.
• Icky: Oh thank CRAP in spite of all that hoopla from earlier, the important rooms are always the more stable ones.
• Gilda: "I'd imagine important rooms like ones that talk prophecies are always given the good building materials while the rest is, whatever."
• Thundera: "One mustn't always rule out magic influence."
• Iago: "Like we ever on these adventures?"
• Gilda: OR it’s basic common sense. The builders knew this room was all that mattered and, well, made sure it lasted longer. Anyway, what ancient tale does it tell?
• Thundera: I do believe this is THE story. The one we were looking for. The Prophecy all are speaking of.
• Gilda: Yep. Because there HAS to be.
• Icky: Too bad we can’t friggin READ IT!
• Thundera: Correction: YOU giblets can’t read it.
• Iago: I can too. Have you forgotten the time I spent with Jafar when he wasted his power-hungry life looking for power around the world?
• Thundera: Yet you spent too much time off-world.
• Iago: Just read the damn shapes you call the Aztec alphabet… Or, is it Mayan?
• Thundera: Does that matter? Now, it speaks of the Elder Sky Serpent.
• Iago:… PLEASE tell me it’s not another Outer God. We NEED a long break from those guys.
• Thundera: Don't worry, it would've mentioned or showed an assoiated symbol of the intendeds. At most the Elder Sky Serpent is an Elder God, which the Lovecraft Mythos insists is not of Outer status.
• Icky: "Oh thank crap, we are giving the cosmotology a break for AT LEAST this episode!"
• Thundera: What it DOES tell is that it is one of this world’s primordial gods.
• Gilda: Pri-whattiel?
• Icky: It means CREATOR gods, babe.
• Thundera: Specifically, the sky, hence the name. It commands more than weather. It commands the sky in general.
• Gilda: Birdy, I’m PRETTY sure you don’t need fancy hieroglyphs to imply what this god snake can do. A title like 'Elder Sky Serpent' is enough.
• Thundera: It SAYS its power is beyond those who witnessed it. Not all know its power. Focusing again on what they DO know. It is foretold that its return may be catastrophic.
• Iago: Not with us it won’t. Just goes to show how accurate Mayan Prophecies are. 2012 Apocalypse my feathered butthole.… Again, I ASSUME this is Mayan.
• Thundera: Do you even KNOW a distinction between the two peoples, mi amor?
• Iago: Besides aesthetics and customs, I assumed they were the same. They DID practice ritual sacrifice, right?
• Icky: PRETTY racist, dude.
• Iago: You can’t be racist when the race is dead.
• Icky: Dead hasn’t stopped ghosts.
• Iago: WHATEVER! Thundera? Back to the story.
• Thundera: "Anyway.... It says that the sky serpent is usually a benevolent and peaceful entity, but according to the prophecy, it had an expectation that it's created children the Queztalcoatals are meant to rule in her rest with equal benevolence. But if they prove selfish and farcry of such and if the Serpent is awaken to be aware of such horrors, (Sees a hyloglific of the Elder Sky Serpent taking away the sky from the entire planet)...... Oh my."
• Gilda: "So like, it just takes away the sky? So like what, is it gonna leave the world in perpetual ala Nightmare Moon scenario?"
• Thundera: "If only it's that simple, amigos. The Elder Sky Serpent will be upset and mistake their desendents to view it as the world gone corrupt if they can't be pure still, and ergo, taking away the sky will mean it will turn our earth into no different then an unbreathable planet."
• Icky: "Yikes, so basically taking the sky away also means oxygen goes too? Okay, diffidently enough reasonable sentiment to keep Malcaliante from being the idiot that accsidently ENDS THE WORLD?!"
• Iago: "Though HOW does awaking the serpent even relate to Malcaliantie kidnapping birds?!"
• Thundera: "The Elder Sky Serpent has a soft spot for avian kind, hence why the caretakers of weather, were my kind. (Points to Thundera's spieces being hand-picked by the serpent to control weather), along with that in times of peril, Iago's kind is meant to all gather at the great temple in the Queztals' city in the sky and awake her from her slumber there. But the important advisery that it is for emergencies only if the world has absolutely gone into a state of corruption, greatly signified if even Queztal kind has fallen to it."
• Icky: "Does it define what counts as corruption though beyond puraton reasons?"
• Thundera: "Look no further then Malcaliantie wanting power. Basically your classic villain spiel. And the fact he managed to get the rest of the Queztals to even okay this? It'll be deemed an immediate devience to what the elder serpent is like, and ergo, it would be enough evidence to believe that the world did go corrupt."
• Iago: "But isn't taking awat oxygen abit extreme?"
• Icky: "Ya know how gods, outer or otherwise, are amoral about things, even the nice ones. In the elder serpent's mind, this is like trying to hit the reset button and enable the world to start fresh with a clean slate."
• Gilda: "Well hopefully short of having to fight a serpent that can control all skies, there is a way to cool their non-existent heels right?"
• Thundera: "And I believe where I came in. (Points to a hylogriflic exactly like her but without the medailian) The only one that can prove that purity is still possable is with a Weather Bird with nigh infinite power of weather inantely who must-.... Never be stripped of these powers for whatever reason."
• Icky: "Awww crap, and that's exactly what that MORON of your parents' rival did?! He prevented you from being that choosen one and left ya handicapped!"
• Thundera: "But there is good news: These Hylogrifics say that taking the wrong-doer and transgressor's power as pendence will restore the choosen one's power."
• Iago: "Well why didn't you parents do that?"
• Thundera: "Well the hylogrifics say that because my parents weren't the ones who had their power taken. It kinda has to be me since it's ME he directly wronged."
• Icky: "Well did it say how to do that?"
• Thundera: "(Looks at a hylogrific that depicted a gem in the same of a nimbus cloud) The Nimbus Stone, a previous gem said to be a broken off scale of the Elder Serpent themselves, has the power to enable the choosen one to punish the wrong doer by taking away such's power perminantly."
• Icky: "Great.... But hold on, I know how these adventures work: The Caveat?"
• Thundera: "Good call on expectating that, cause the Nimbus Stone is guarded jealiously by an Aouzotl that challnages any who seeks the stone to very ferious trials by combat."
• Icky: "Because ALCOURSE there's a big scary guardian charactor for these things. And let me guess, he's too professional to heed warnings like an idiot CAUSING THE ACCSIDENTAL TRIGGERING OF JUDGEMENT DAY!?"
• Gilda: "Well obviously the dude might end up thinking we're trying to pull a fast one, so we kinda have to do things his way if we want the stone and prove worthy of it."
• Icky: Well, glad we know what an Ahuizotl is thanks to the one in Equestria. An aquatic jaguar with a hand on its tail. All we gotta do is-
• Thundera: Nonononono. Not every monster must be beaten with violence.
• Icky: "But you said the creature only responds to trials by combat-"
• Thundera: Si, but there are formal ways to engage such. THIS Ahuizotl is divine in power like a sphinx. He will not let the Nimbus Stone go so easily, even for the one it was intended for. You must prove yourself worthy in its eyes. And those eyes, are sensitive to the essence within one’s souls. Therefore, it would be safer if me and Iago went, alone, while the other two keep watch for those muchachos.
• Icky: And Malcho? He IS here on antihero business.
• Thundera: As said, the Ahuizotl is sensitive to soul essence. HIS, is not the brightest courtesy of his Villain League status.
• Iago: "Obviously."
• Icky: "That speaks for itself clearly."
• Thundera: He could give the Ahuizotl the wrong idea.
• Icky: Mmmm, good call.
• Gilda: So, keep Parrot Makunga, Rey TRUE Tormenta, Malcal AND his bro OUTSIDE.
• Icky: Daggit, you beat me to those nicknames!
• Gilda: Comes from kissing me so many times.
• Thundera: So, mi amigos and amors, vamonos. (She tried using her powers)…… Mierda. Forgot I still don’t have my medallion.
• Gilda: Pfft!
• Icky: Uhhh, you mean THIS? (He showed it) I found it minutes ago, and I was waiting for someone to ask.
• Thundera:… Well… Gracias. (She put it back on and tried again, blowing them out of the temple debris) HOOOOOOOOO DIOS MIO!!! That was stronger than I intended. I was apart from it too long.
• Icky: Blowhard. (He was blown out for that comment) YAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh- (Crash)… Let it be known, I do NOT miss this kind of joke during the old crossover montages we did back at the day.
• Gilda: "Well what did ya think would happen when ya smack talk a bird that controls weather like it's easy?"
• Icky: At least a MORE inconspicuous method, like the other classic, smashing my head through a tree.
• Iago: Oh, like Viper when you mocked her relationship with Hiss?
• Icky: HEY, YOU DID THAT FIRST!!!
• Iago: Riiiight. Heh, over a decade, huh?… Anyway, let’s go kick some feathered butt. (They flew off)

Meanwhile…

• Mi'Amore's temple is seen....
• Mi'Amore:… (Deep breath)… Where are you, Malcho? I need you here. Your brother HAS to be stopped.
• Rey Stormare and Dreadeye were hidden in the shadows.
• Rey Stormare: "(Quietly) Let me do all the talking, Dreadeye."
• Dreadeye: Ugh, when are people gonna acknowledge my real name? Just because I gotta EVIL look in my eye means Domingos Da Grande is legally changed away?! Genetics set me up to be evil! Hmmph. Inbreeding ancestor assholes.
• Mi'Amore: You KNOW I can hear you two!
• Dreadeye:… NO YOU CAN’T!!!
• Rey Stormare: (Sighs and face-wings) Nice going.
• Dreadeye: Oh, you’re welcome. You want more, keep being a jackwagon!!
• Rey Stormare: Tch. Well my fair serpent, we intended to approach you and be known to you as is. We need to talk.
• Mi'Amore: Let me GUESS: you want to blackmail my love and crush my hopes?
• Dreadeye:… I TOLD you women aren’t as dumb as the misogynists on this world say they are.
• Rey Stormare: OH I KNOW! I HAD one. So shut your damn beak and let me-
• Mi'Amore: LEAVE! I refuse to listen to the words of ones who MIGHT have been tipped off by Malcaliente to speak his words and make them more believable.
• Dreadeye: Aw HUITZILOPOCHTLI! She’s smarter than I thought!! I have SO got to improve my dating self-advice.
• Rey Stormare: You actually do that?
• Mi'Amore: Uhhhh, I said, LEAVE!!! (She lashed at them with her tail, only to find them again behind her) DAAH!!
• Dreadeye: You aren’t getting rid of us THAT easily, toots. We’ve had vines whip us harder than that.
• Mi'Amore: "Then you truely have to be louthesome birds if even flora have it out against you like that. Bet Bird Eaters don't even like your particular tastes."
• Rey Stormare: You really must hear this.
• Mi'Amore: Oh? And what could you POSSIBLY tell me about Malcho that you think will tear him away from me?
• Dreadeye:… You sure this plan is up to snuff? She’s clearly not falling for it either way.
• Rey Stormare: We’ll see. Madam, Malcho is a Villain Leaguer.
• Mi'Amore:… Am, I supposed to know what that is?
• Dreadeye: Yeeeah, how much clearer do we need to be? It’s an otherworldly organization of villains who just do what villains do: spread evil. Which includes trying to free a certain anichent race of over-hyped demons from an EA game back when EA was COMPETENT in making games without gambling mechanics in it!
• Rey Stormare: That statement is also filled with references obscure to this world, parrot. But otherwise it is the truth. So as you can imagine, Malcho may no longer be the one you love anymore.
• Mi'Amore:… Honestly, I would do the same.
• Dreadeye/Rey Stormare: SAY WHAT?!?
• Mi'Amore: Best way to fight evil, is to first BE evil. Makes it nicer when you turn a new leaf at the end. Whatever it takes to put that disgrace Malcaliente in his place.
• Rey Stormare:… How, can you be so-
• Mi'Amore: Such a shame you thought this information could turn me against him. Did you think I was STUPID?! It’s because I’m a woman, isn’t it?!
• Rey Stormare: No!! We do not conform to this primitive world's, unfortunate and distasteful misogyny!
• Dreadeye: "We did however thought you were too pureaton to give Malchokabo a another chance-"
• Rey Stormare: "SILENCE PARROT?!"
• Mi'Amore: Sure sounds like you didn't thought highly of my thought processs either way. In any other circumstance, it could’ve worked. But Malcho HAS done irksome things before… And so have I. I once framed Malcaliente for eating the fruit patches of a colorbird tribe.
• Dreadeye: I didn’t think Quetzals were omnivorous.
• Mi'Amore: We’re part-bird!
• Rey Stormare: Not ALL birds are-
• Mi'Amore: Just get out! You INSULT me by taking me for such a gullible moron, just like every OTHER man I met besides Malcho. INCLUDING MALCALIENTE! He thinks me stupid too, MANY times. Malcho, respects me for me. Nothing he does will EVER crush my heart.
• Dreadeye: What if he cheats on you?
• Mi'Amore: He is WELL above that. Did he not join this so-called 'Villain League' for say, gaining power necessary for defeating his brother and getting me back? Has any ‘villainous' behavior been just for a deeper personal goal?
• Rey Stormare:...
• Dreadeye:...
• Mi'Amore: Yes. Now, last time, GET OUT!!! BEGONE WITH THE ILL-REPRESENTIVE ILK OF BOTH YOUR PEOPLE?!
• Rey and Dreadeye were smacked all the way out of the temple!
• Rey Stormare: ".... (Angered) Once again, I UNDERESTIMATE THE FICKLENESS OF LOVE?!"
• Dreadeye: "I assume the first time involves what are now Thundera's parents?"
• Rey Stormare: YES!
• Dreadeye: Well, I count three considering, well, to have been a king, you had to marry a princess. You DID say you were married.
• Rey Stormare: Even so, there are OTHER ways to be king, you know. You just have to rule a nation.
• Dreadeye: Aaaand whose nation are you-
• Rey Stormare: OH SHUT YOUR DAMNED BEAK!! It’s clear Mi'Amore won’t be crushed that easily.
• Dreadeye: Yheheah. I’m not gonna get the feeling in my face back for a while. So, what do we do now? Kill Malcho? Because I would love having my beak classified as a deadly weapon.
• Rey Stormare: "Okay, first off, the league has a resserection policy, so, that won't give a perminant result. IF NOT ALSO ENDANGER US TO FEEL THEIR WRATH TO HAVE ACTIVELY THREATEN A MEMBER LIKE THAT?! And even then, he's a Quezts, and Malcho spefificly survived WORST then what even I can ever do!"
• Dreadeye: Well, then what do you suggest? Whose word could she possibly trust?!
• Rey Stormare: Thundera and her parrot boyfriend, for one.
• Dreadeye: That's it! We can offer Rainboa up as bait!
• Rey Stormare: I was joking.
• Dreadeye: Don't you see? It's perfect! Rainboa has fought against Malcho before, so if he can convince that, woman, that Malcho's love means nothing to her anymore, her heart will be crushed and we'll be closer to obtaining our goals! Brilliant!
• Rey Stormare: "Except I doubt it would be in their interest to screw Malcho over like that, LET ALONE FOR OUR SAKES?!"
• Dreadeye: "..... Okay when ya say it like that, yeah it's actually a dead on arrival plan."
• Rey Stormare: But, you might be onto something. The Lodgers are idiots as much as they are heroes. All they need is a push into making Malcho look bad.
• Dread-Eye: I mean, they ARE stupid, LOOKING, but I don’t think they’re THAT kind of stupid.
• Rey Stormare: Not at their best. But at their worst, they might just be useful.
• Dread-Eye: And, you’re SURE it’ll work better than when I could do it?
• Rey Stormare: I KNOW it will. Because unlike you, I was an ACTUAL king.
• Dread-Eye: Point taken, but ouch!
• Rey Stormare: Come along. I have a plan, and again, I’m not telling it. (They flew off, but a Quetzalcoatl was watching them before flying off)

Malcalientie’s Chambers

• Malcalientie: So Stormare and Dread-Eye are trying to cheat the prophecy? I was wondering what that rabble in Mi’Amore’s tower was about. Shame for Stormare. An unwitting pawn to the end, but that’s how all pawns end.
• Quetzalcoatl: Regardless, should we do something about them, mi rey?
• Malcaliente: While they’re of no concern, they spoiled the blackmail I had on Malcho!
• Quetzalcoatl: Which was clearly not going to go anywhere if Amore’s heart is too ironed.
• Malcalientie: But who’s to say they won’t succeed the next time? (Sighs) Yet again, it’s up to me to preserve my destiny, when I was starting to feel I'd demonstrated myself enough.
• Quetzalcoatl: Uhm, and how exactly are you doing that, because I think I missed a flap.
• Malcalientie: Malcho, Thundra, Stormare and all can only go to one place: the Nimbus Temple…. Where they’ll fall right into a trap I, and Stormare to a small extent, have prepared in advance. I’ll trip them right at the end of the finish line, and secure myself as rightful ruler of all things…. Keep a sharp eye on, hehe, mi amor, while I’m gone, si?
• Quetzalcoatl: As you wish. (Malcalientie flew off)
• Malcalientie: ".... Soon, my greater power will be TRULY demonstracted."

Nimbus Temple

• Icky: (They arrived at a massive tree standing extremely tall, producing rain from its cloud-like canopy to form a massive water moat, and large monuments of thunderbirds, parrots, and quetzalcoatls)… A cloud tree. And I thought I saw the craziest in my video game plays.
• Thundra: The Nimbus Temple is one of the oldest trees in the rainforest.
• Gilda: And this behemoth holds a crystal scale you could’ve gotten YEARS ago?
• Thundra: Si. But whoever possesses it must be of proper age. Those too young or old have been known to die or worse trying to use it.
• Iago: Kids and oldsters have tried and DIED using it?!
• Thundra: Hence why the Ahuizotl is strict in his guardianship. So once we meet Talibu, that’s his name, by the way, try to be… LESS yourself. As stated, his judgment is notoriously sensitive.
• Icky/Gilda: Real CHICK magnet, I can tell. JINX, YOU OWE ME A POP!!
• Thundra: Yes, avoid words like THAT. Especially modern slang. Vamonos- (Suddenly, the water in front of them sparked with electricity) AHH!… Oh, dear.
• Iago: Aaand HERE comes the obvious obstacle.
• Thundra: It seems Malcalientie has decorated the temple with Quetzal fulgurite. A reactive elemental substance and an extension of their creator. This very temple, is connected to him.
• Iago: Which explains a LOT of why nobody else got it yet.
• Gilda: So, what, can’t you weather these f*****ites away?
• Thundra: No more than you can slice them away. I can feel the energy in them even from here.
• Gilda: Well, f*** it, I’m tearing them out anyway.
• Thundra: I wouldn’t do that. Touching them will literally be like being struck by lightning. And NOT in a cartoonish way. You’ll be charred alive. It IS from Malcalientie.
• Gilda: F**********!!! Got a better plan, then, chosen one?
• Thundra: I’ll think of something!
• Iago:… I think it’s obvious. And I know it’s an inconvenient bummer, but… We may need… Malcho.
• Thundra: But Talibu-
• Iago: Isn’t here yet. If we make it quick, he won’t be a problem. If this quetzal stuff will turn us to charcoal instantly, we’ll need another quetzal.
• Icky: "Here's hoping this goes well."
• Gilda: Isn’t his D-List ass trying to save his image from his girl?
• Iago: Chances are he’d never make it to her when he remembers, oh yeah, he has to get past his asswipe of a brother, and he’s STILL too OP for him. Soooo, he’s probably thinking that going after the same thing as us is his last option.
• ???: Aw, sweet el diablo, I’m becoming predictable. (Malcho appeared)
• Iago: Heh, then you’re lucky this might be your redemption arc. So, you by chance hear our plan with you AND to stay AWAY from the Ahuzulo thing.
• Malcho:… There’s an Ahuizotl in your villain history, and you lack the ability to speak it?
• Iago: I wasn’t RAISED here, and Mayan/Aztec/Inca is the most colorfully-spelled language I’ve EVER heard. But whatever way you pronounce that thing, stay AWAY from it, and help us get the REAL hero in there.
• Malcho: *Sigh* And you wonder why I went with the Villain League so easily.
• Thundra: It’s nothing personal, me amienemigo, but this isn’t your part of the battle. Even if you DO obtain the Nimbus Stone’s power, will it be enough? Your hermano at this point is too smart as well as too strong for you. So, it is time to give someone else a turn.
• Malcho: "Fair enough."
• Icky: So, can you do something about this f***-you-ite?
• Malcho: I can, but not so easily. If my brother created it, it makes sense for it to be in my slight control. However, it is entirely possible the fulgurite isn’t just an obstacle, but an alarm system, or maybe even a trap… Perhaps all of the above. Whatever happens, you muchachos best be ready.
• Thundra: Never have I been ready than today.
• Iago: Seriously, am I the focus anymore?
• Icky: Meh, it already feels like this episode is taking forever, so, people have probably forgotten about Gilbert’s death and grieving for the next hotshot actor’s death. Money’s on James Earl Jones.
• Gilda: Oh, please, he’s one of the OBVIOUS picks. And you’re lucky Mufasa’s too dead and busy to hear that.
• Malcho: Silence your usual banter! I must concentrate… Which admittedly requires this. (He took Thundra’s medallion to her disgust and charged an elemental breath)… Stand back. (Lightning shot from his breath, and the fulgurite reacted to it)… URRRGH! I can feel the power. What effort did Malcali PUT into making these crystals?! Ahhhhgggh!!
• Gilda: Well… If he’s THIS strong with the medallion, I can see why he’s a D-Lister.
• Malcho: B-Lister, actually, but I SAID SILENCE!! (He couldn’t destroy the fulgurite, but he could move it and form safe passage)… Go! There’s no chance I can’t hold it forever- (They were already racing in)… Thundra… Our differences aside… Please, free Mi’Amore!… (He let go, and the fulgurite burst in energy, which nearly destroyed the temple before Malcho thought fast and redirected the energy upward as upward lightning seen by everyone in the forest, followed by a thunderstorm)
• Sage of Rio:… It has begun.

Inside Nimbus Temple

• Gilda:… Did it work?
• Iago: Barely is what I’m guessing…. But, downside, Thundra doesn’t have her amulet.
• Thundra:… I won’t need it by the end of this. My destiny awaits.
• Icky: "(Quietly) Likely more then it had to cause of the hiatus and CERTAIN crappy drama involving some episodes getting-"
• Iago: (Shouted this)

• Icky: All right, all right! Jeez! Just thought I vent for abit.
• Iago: Whatever…. Wow. This place is WAY more elaborate on the inside. Thundra, PLEASE for the love of this land’s gods, tell me you know where to go.
• Thundra: I really wish I could, but alas, it is my first time. The Temple is as fogged in navigation as the inside of a cloud… That’s what the legends say, anyway.
• Gilda: Even for fliers?
• Thundra: There’s literally no space to fly, so ESPECIALLY fliers.
• Icky: How complicated must this be? Can anyone do us all a TEENSY solid and make things easier for ONCE?!
• Nothing happened.
• Icky: "..... And like that, I'm once again nostaglic for the era when the Plot DOES throw us a freaking bone."
• Gilda: Cry me a thunderstorm, karma doesn’t happen on demand. So, do we like, stick together for safety or split up to cover more ground?
• Icky/Iago: I say the former/latter. WHAT?!
• Icky: C'mon, have you SEEN any movie?! Splitting up is asking for being divided and conquered.
• Iago: Well, if we wanna wrap this so-called 'hiatus' up, we should cover more ground.
• Icky: Yeah, no.
• Iago: Well, this place makes being with you guys feel a LOT more claustrophobic.
• Gilda: Pssh, with your girlfriends? That’s a first.
• Thundra: Why not try both? We split up as couples?
• Icky:… I could’ve thought of that in a few seconds.
• Iago: Well, be thankful SOMEONE did while we were squawking like a domestically unsound couple.
• Thundra: Do I hear a si or no?
• Icky/Iago: SIYES!!
• Thundra: Very good. Gilda and Icky, go that way. Me and mi giblet will go this way.
• Icky: Pfft! I see why you stopped calling him that, it’s so cheesy.
• Iago: YOU’RE so cheesy. Shut up and break! (They split up, not knowing that out from the water was a scorched and drenched Rey Stormare and Dread-Eye)
• Rey Stormare:… This is what I get for trying one of your ideas.
• Dread-Eye: Oh, shut up, no pain, no gain! Least we’re inside.
• Rey Stormare: BARELY! You better hope this plan to take the Nimbus Stone works.
• Dread-Eye: Certainly better and more reliable than the Lodgers screwing up in front of Mi’Amore. Even total idiots have a good idea once or twice! So for once, ACTUALLY try trusting me. You’ll have the power to match Malcalientie, save the world, and KACHOW! You’re king of the rainbirds again.
• Rey Stormare:… Could’ve worded it like that from the start. You follow the ick and griffin, I follow the colorbird and thunderbird.
• Dread-Eye: GOOD! I was dreading it’d be the other way around.
• Rey Stormare: "Hey, I'm expected to trust you, only fair you return it by trusting me figuring that you wouldn't be a match for another Rainbird! Granted it's debatable if you can handle even if a miniture Griffin any better, but I did consider you have even less chance against a rainbird."
• Dread-Eye: "Gee, thanks I think." (They split up)

Thundra and Iago’s Location

• Iago:… So… How ready are you about this?
• Thundra: Not at all as much as I should, honestly. This is the scale of a god we speak of. No instance of its use was documented.
• Iago: Wha? You mean, it’s never even been TESTED?!
• Thundra: Outside of the aforementioned underage and overage attempts, no. This Temple was built to protect it from all, including those who built it. Only that of whom the prophecy speaks of can safely wield its power.
• Iago:… So… We’re taking a huge gamble, aren’t we? How do we even know it’s you? Being a Lodger doesn’t exactly make you worthy by default.
• Thundra: Prophecies like this can come true in countless ways, mi amor.
• Iago: Just saying, maybe you being the chosen one sounds a little, arbitrary.
• Thundra: Can you name another better candidate?
• Iago:…
• Thundra: Then I’m all this prophecy has on short notice.
• Iago: "Fair point."
