Rayman Legends Adventures in The Emperor's New Groove/Script

It was a rainy night at the Greenwood house. Joanie and Gertie came over to help Jesse watch over Darla as Howard and Marion had gone out for the night. Darla was supposed to be asleep, but the storm awakened her and she came down to see her big brothers and his friends.

"Dude, for sure it's raining cats and dogs over there," Jesse said.

"It's not my favorite expression," Gertie commented.

Joanie rolled her eyes, but looked over. "Dimples? Is the storm bothering you?"

"Uh-huh..." Darla pouted as she hugged her teddy bear.

Soon Patch came in the house before shaking his fur dry. Joanie moaned and then frowned.

"Hey, Patch," Jesse put a blanket over his puppy.

"Thank you, Jesse," Patch muffled with a grin.

Jesse grinned.

"Where have you been again," Joanie asked as her glasses dripped.

"I had to go and help a puppy get to his human," Patch said.

"Good boy," Jesse grinned.

Darla sighed as she sat on the couch.

"What's wrong, Darla," Patch asked.

"I can't sleep," Darla pouted.

"Is the storm bothering you," Patch asked.

"Yes..." Darla pouted.

"At least, the power's not cut," Joanie said.

The storm got worse and worse and then the power cut out.

"Great," Joanie moaned.

"That's good, Joanie," Gertie scoffed.

"I didn't do anything," Joanie defended as she pulled out her phone and turned on the flashlight app and handed it to Jesse, "go fix the circuit breaker, boy."

"Alright," Jesse said.

Joanie tossed him her phone.

Jesse caught it and then went to the door, but looked out the window as it was thunder and lightning outside. "Uh, Joanie, this storm looks pretty good......" he bit his lip hesitantly.

"Well," Joanie replied.

"I'm just a little worried about the gravity of the situation," Jesse said.

"Jesse, are you afraid of storms," Patch asked.

Jesse sighed and then nodded. "Yes..."

"Yet," Joanie deadpanned.

"Yes," Jesse nodded.

"Oh, boy..." Joanie rolled her eyes, "storms aren't that bad."

Then there was a loud thunderclap and a small yelp heard. Gertie lit a candle and then shone it on Joanie as she was latched onto the ceiling like a fraidy cat.

"Th-Th-That was loud..." Joanie shivered hesitantly.

"Now you can understand why I'm afraid of thunderstorms," Jesse shivered.

"Well, we might as well wait for the power to come back on," Gertie said.

"But I yet can't sleep....." Darla frowned.

"If only we could get away from the storm and distract Darla at the same time," Patch mused.

"Yes, but how," Jesse asked.

"Perhaps we could go somewhere like we're going with Joanie to meet Pocahontas," Patch suggested.

"That was a crazy incident, I doubt it'll ever happen again," Joanie replied.

"You never know," Gertie said.

"You've met Pocahontas," Darla asked Joanie, Jesse and Patch.

"Yes," Jesse nodded.

Darla grinned until the thunder clapped again. Then the candle lights went out.

"Aw, c'mon," Gertie moaned.

Joanie stood up and tried to feel around the house, she blinked a few times and she could now see in the dark. "Alright, everyone, follow me, I'll find a fashion to enlighten us," she said.

"Alright, then show the road," Jesse said.

Joanie walked around and came to the backyard.

The storm seemed to be clearing up slightly. However, they were suddenly behind bushes and they somehow ended up in a jungle far, far away and not just from home, but also in the time period.

"Where are we," Gertie asked.

"That can't be the backyard......" Joanie firmly pouted.

"Joanie, where have you taken us," Jesse scolded.

"I don't think she drove us here on purpose," Patch said.

There was a big lightning strike, which made what looked like a llama gasping and then pouted at the rain before weeping.

"You alright," Patch asked.

The llama looked over to them. "You can speak," he asked.

"Uh, yes, you can as well," Patch replied like it was obvious.

"Alright, that's going to sound crazy, but I'm not really a llama..." the llama warned them with a sigh, "it's a long, mournful story...I was the nicest guy in the world and they were mean to me for no reason!"

"Be careful to warn us," Darla replied.

"You could start with your name," Jesse added.

"The name is Kuzco....." the llama sighed, "Emperor Kuzco."

"Did someone evil turn you into a llama," Jesse asked.

"I guess we should go back to the beginning..." Kuzco replied.

Suddenly, the others were shown as a baby boy with a crown on his head.

"No, you see, it's too far, you have to---oh, look at me," Kuzco cooed, "that's me as a baby!"

"Aw! You were so cute," Darla awed.

The baby boy hugged a toy, but hugged it too hard that the toy's head tore off, which made the baby cry until servants handed numerous replacements.

"Don't you mind going to the actual start," Joanie asked Kuzco.

"Ahem," Kuzco cleared his throat.

Somehow, it was morning and the sun was out. Joanie, Jesse, Patch and Darla wore peasant clothes and sandals.

"Then I don't look great in this color," Darla said.

"You really don't want....." Gertie said, "what just happened to our clothes?"

"I guess we're supposed to be here..." Patch sighed as he didn't change much, "I wonder where Kuzco is now?"

"I guess he's at the palace," Joanie shrugged.

Soon they got their response as two doors opened behind them.

"Woah," the group jumped back and looked to the doors that suddenly opened and where they saw someone coming out from the doors.

Patch stood behind Jesse just in case it would be dangerous. Luckily, it wasn't anything dangerous.

"Oh, yes..." an older teenage boy was at the door with long black hair with blue earrings, a red outfit with black sandals and a golden sun crown.

"Emperor Kuzco," the group recognized.

"Well, this is what he looks like," Jesse said.

Kuzco glanced at his company. "Do I know you all?"

Soon Alec placed fake memories of him, thinking each of them had jobs at the palace and where Jesse's job was bodyguard and Patch's was guard dog and Gertie's job was maid and Darla's job was junior maid and Joanie's was his foot rest. The others stammered slightly.

"Oh, wait, now I remember," Kuzco stopped them, "you thought you could get away with this? I think you all have work for me to do."

"Um, that's right," Gertie smirked hesitantly, "showing up for work, Emperor Kuzco."

"Yes, we are here to work for you, Your Highness," Darla said.

"Well, don't just stay there, let's start we since another day," Kuzco smirked, "we yet have time before I have to meet my invoked pheasant."

"Summoned peasant, sir," Darla asked.

"Yes, I want to warn him about where he lives," Kuzco nodded.

"Sounds nice of you, Your Highness," Darla asked.

"Yes, yes, let's get to work," Kuzco warned them while impatiently clapping for them to get to work, "chop-chop, folks."

"Yes, Your Highness," Jesse and the others said.

"Ladies," Darla and Gertie sighed as they got in place.

"At least we're bodyguards," Jesse shrugged to Patch.

"I'm a FOOTREST," Joanie snapped.

Soon Alec laughed silently.

"I'm a walnut...." Joanie growled under her breath.

Jesse and Patch followed Kuzco as he walked down a path. Darla threw down rose petals as Kuzco walked in to decorate his arrival down the red carpet that was placed down for him.

'At least there's no theme song,' Darla thought to herself.

"Butler," Kuzco smirked as he sat on his throne while his feet were on top of Joanie, "chef...theme song guy."

"Wait, what," Darla asked.

There was a tall cake and a singer came out of it and sang all about Kuzco.

"Oh, you're joking me," Darla moaned.

Kuzco grinned smugly as he enjoyed the song a little too much while it seemed to annoy everyone else.

"Jesse, don't take offense, but this guy looks....uh...complete with himself," Patch spoke up.

"I agree with you there, Patch," Jesse said.

A red ribbon was given to Kuzco and he cut them lazily with a large pair of scissors and there were three newborn babies given to Kuzco and he pulled out a stamp and planted it on their foreheads to show kiss marks. Then he lazily tossed a bottle to a ship, which then sailed off in his honor. Then he wiped his forehead until someone fanned him and he was given water and had to spit it into a bucket, but he missed and splashed the servant, but the servant didn't dare to complain.

"This guy is really complete with himself," Gertie whispered.

"Yo, dude, I hate selfish people," Darla pouted.

Joanie snickered at that since Darla was just like that before she became a Greenwood.

"I understand, I was also selfish before," Darla moaned.

"Yes, you were..." Joanie remembered.

"I don't like being reminded of that..." Darla replied.

"Alright, Joanie, I think you should stop speaking about it," Gertie said.

Joanie muttered and rolled her eyes.

Kuzco had fun being the center of attention, until he did a moonwalk and bumped into an old man and then complained. "NO!! You knocked off my groove," he frowned at the old man before turning away and folding his arms.

"I'm sorry, but you messed up the emperor's groove," a guard warned the old man before throwing him out of the palace.

"I'm sorry," the old man yelled.

Kuzco frowned before looking down to his singer. "You were saying?"

"What's his name," the singer asked as he brought the song back up.

"Kuzco," the chorus jeered.

"I'm about to lose it," Patch moaned.

"Alright, if it helps, he's worse than you," Joanie said to Darla.

"Thank you, I guess..." Darla rolled her eyes.

After the song ended, Kuzco kicked a door open. "HA!! Boom, baby!"

Soon Jesse and the others joined other young women in the room.

"Oh, Your Highness, it's time for you to choose your bride..." a man in the room said, rather hesitantly.

"Alright, take the ladies out," Kuzco smirked. "Let's be a look-see....." he examined each of the girls one-by-one. "Hate your hair, not probable, yikes, yikes, yikes, and let me guess, you have a great personality," he looked at the man, "is that really the best you can do?"

"Wow, he sure makes sense to choose a bride," Patch whispered.

The man stammered at Kuzco's disapproval and tried to excuse himself while Kuzco looked annoyed of him complaining.

"Um, Your Highness, we should probably go to your throne room," Jesse spoke up.

"Oh, you're right and besides, I have a feeling Yzma is trying to do my job again," Kuzco said.

"Yzma," the others asked.

"Yes, my advisor and luckily one of you might become my new advisor after you fire her," Kuzco said as they walked towards the throne room.

Jesse and Patch grinned to each other.

"C'mon, you can all take a break, you look cooler than the other minions," Kuzco said, his lackadaisical teenager side coming out, "either fashion, Yzma's living proof that dinosaurs once roamed the Earth, and let's not forget that Yzma's right-hand man, every ten years or well, gets a new one, that year's model is called Kronk."

"I'm not really careful, but that's just her fact....." Kuzco shrugged, "she's been here for as long as I can remember since my parents left me in charge, just in case they wouldn't have made it home after their sea trip."

"How long have they been gone," Darla asked.

Kuzco paused to think about it, but then frowned slightly. "Sometime after I was born."

This caused the others to gasp in shock as that must have felt horrible.

"Don't warn me, at some point, you're going to find out about Kuzco's parents," Joanie said to Jesse.

"Perhaps I should do it," Jesse replied.

They came into the throne room where a cowardly older man was speaking with an older woman, who was next to a buff young man who looked more like a gentle giant than a mean bully and where he didn't seem not that smart. Yzma waved at a bug that was buzzing around her face.

"Yes, I have that there, Yzma..." Kronk said as he tried to get the fly, it landed on his forehead and he smacked himself on the forehead, missing the fly and making him fall back on the floor.

"Yes, that's Kronk..." Kuzco sighed and shook his head, "now lately, Yzma has had into a bad habit of trying to run the country behind my back, and I'm like, that must be stopped."

"Well, you're going to fire her, that's it," Jesse asked.

"Oh, you bet," Kuzco agreed.

The villager was trying to warn Yzma his worries, but she didn't seem to care.

"It doesn't worry me if your family has-" Yzma frowned down the villager, "what was that already?"

"Uh, food," the villager replied.

"HA," Yzma mocked, "you really should've thought about it before you became pheasants! We're done here.  Take him away.  Next!"

"Shouldn't you stop her from firing this man," Darla asked Kuzco.

"I'll concern about that," Kuzco replied.

"Ugh..." Yzma moaned as she rubbed her head.

"The nerve by some of these peasants, right," Kuzco asked silently.

"Warn me about it....." Yzma replied until she shrieked out and saw him right behind her, "AAUGH!!"

"Hello," Joanie smirked.

"Ooh, Your Highness..." Yzma grinned hesitantly at Kuzco.

"Ahem," Kuzco pointed to his throne.

Yzma grinned hesitantly as she dusted the seat to get her germs away from it.

"Uh, you were doing it again," Kuzco warned Yzma.

Soon Yzma was stumbling her words, acting like she didn't know what he was speaking about. Kuzco scolded her until he found himself zoning out and even noticed that Yzma had a piece of broccoli in her teeth.

"Well thought out, Yzma, what are you saying, Kuzco," Kronk grinned before tapping the young emperor gently.

"WOAH!! Not sensitive," Kuzco got defensive, "not sensitive!  No contact!"

"He really doesn't like to be touched," Patch whispered.

"Joanie's like that as well," Jesse whispered back.

"Uh, excuse me, Your Highness," a guy walked in, "the village chief is here to see you."

"Oh, great, send him on," Kuzco replied before glancing to Yzma, "by the way, you're fired."

"Tabled?! W-W-W-What do you mean fired," Yzma asked out of shock.

"Uh, how can I put it another fashion," Kuzco replied before getting a servant to fill out a pink slip to give to Yzma, "you're made redundant, your service is reduced, you're part of an outplacement, we're moving in another direction, we're not choosing your option. Take your choice.  I have more!"

Yzma took the slip and stumbled over her words again and fell into the throne. "But I--you, uh...but your Highness, I've only been loyal to the empire f-f-for many, many years..."

"Hey, wait, everyone's hitting their pace, you just hit yours 50 years ago," Kuzco replied before smirking, "well, who's in my chair?"

"Ooh, I do, I do," Kronk raised his hand, "Yzma's in your chair, isn't he?"

"Wow, he's not smart," Patch whispered.

"Very good, Kronk," Kuzco cooed before pulling out a cracker. "Here, take the snack," he pretended to throw it.

"I have it," Kronk jumped like a dog for a treat before falling off the throne and smashed on the floor, "I'm alright!"

"Alright, you heard the man," Kuzco shooed Yzma off, "higher, higher, higher!"

Soon Yzma got off the throne before walking off, grumbling.

"Aren't you afraid she'll try something later," Joanie asked.

"Ah, what has she done," Kuzco scoffed before sitting down on his throne, "ah...Jesse, congratulations, you'll be my new chancellor."

"Thank you, Your Highness," Jesse said with a bow.

Patch also bowed as he couldn't help but did what his master warned.

"Alright, I'm ready, show him," Kuzco warned the guy about the village leader coming in to see him and where soon, a man came in.

"I'm a counselor," Jesse grinned proudly to himself.

"Hooray for you," Joanie deadpanned.

"Csendes! I'm trying to listen," Darla whispered.

"Uh...good afternoon, Your Highness," the village leader came in, "I'm here because I received a subpoena-"

"Hey, there he is! My man from the main village," Kuzco cheered.

"Uh, Pacha," the man replied, "anyhow, I have this summons....."

"Pacha, that's right, you're the man I wanted to see," Kuzco grinned.

"I am," Pacha asked.

"It's said in the street that you can solve my problem," Kuzco replied before sliding down to come to the village man, "you can solve my problem, right?"

Joanie bit her nails and as Jesse saw this, he decided to teleport himself and the others down on the ground floor with the emperor.

"Sure, I'll do what I can," Pacha shrugged.

"Well, well, that's just what I wanted to hear," Kuzco replied, "are you aware at how reluctant your village is to the empire?"

"Well, I know we grow the crops you use here in the palace. We also grow the llamas that you-" Pacha continued until Kuzco lifted a sheet to show a model of the village, "my village?"

"This is interesting," Patch whispered, feeling uncomfortable.

"Oh, yes," Kuzco chuckled, "you have a sweet little setup over there at the top of the hill, don't you?"

"Yes, my family has lived on top of that hill for the last six generations," Pacha grinned proudly.

"Wow," Gertie grinned.

"You must be very proud, sir," Darla added.

"Actually, I am," Pacha grinned back.

"Uh-huh..." Kuzco shrugged, "well, uh...warn me...where do you find you have the most sun?"

"Oh, I'd say on the other side of these trees," Pacha pointed out, "as the sun hits that ridge, these hills sang."

"That sounds magical," Darla grinned.

"Well, that settles it," Kuzco said.

"Really," Pacha asked.

"Yes, problem solved, thanks for coming," Kuzco nodded.

"You just wanted to know which side gets the most sun," Jesse asked, confused.

"I just needed the opinion or privileged information before playing this place for my pool," Kuzco replied.

"Your pool," Pacha and the others asked.

"BOO-YAH," Kuzco hit a new model on top of the village model, "welcome to Kuzcotopia, my ultimate summer getaway! Full of water toboggans!"

"But then, what about Pacha and the other villagers who live on the hill," Darla asked.

"You can pick the change of address forms," Kuzco shrugged, "but isn't that great?  This is my birthday present to me!  I'm so happy...."

'This guy is acting more selfish now,' Jesse thought.

"I don't understand how this could happen," Pacha felt devastated.

"Well, let me clarify for you. Tomorrow at my birthday celebration, I give the floor and your city will be destroyed to make room for this," Kuzco explained, "then if I were you, I'd pick up some change of plans at the road home."

"Well, you don't care where you live," Jesse asked.

"Not really," Kuzco replied with a modest shrug, "what do you think?"

"Wait, you can't--" Pacha tried to go after him, but was blocked by other guards.

"If I give the floor, your little town will say a farewell," Kuzco whispered to him before waving where the guards would take Pacha off, "bye-bye! Boo-hoo."

'This guy is asking for a bite on his butt,' Patch thought to himself.

Kuzco smirked as facts were going his road now, but he patted Jesse on the head. Jesse was beginning to hate Kuzco.

"Where's the Bubonic Plague if you need it," Joanie narrowed her eyes about how much of a jerk Kuzco was.

"How do you think Yzma is," Darla whispered.

"Probably not good," Joanie whispered back.

Soon Darla sneaked away without anyone knowing her missing and where she followed Yzma. Then Kuzco left to have a normal day so far.

Darla put on her cloak and sunglasses as she stealthed around to follow after Yzma. Yzma was shown to be smashing head busts of Kuzco out of rage and frustration.

"Yes, she's not taking it well," Darla whispered.

"He can't get rid of me that easily! Who does that ungrateful little worm think he is?  Does he--a little to the left......" Yzma ranted before smashing more busts, "has any idea of who's he dealing with? How could he do this to me?  Why, I practically raised him!"

"Yes, you think it would've been better," Kronk replied.

"Yes, go figure," Yzma said before seeing Darla and tossed the mallet for Kronk to catch as she went over to the little girl.

Darla gasped and then tried to stay hidden in the background.

"Yes, it's too bad you can't get rid of the real Kuzco, right," Kronk asked just as Yzma caught Darla.

"YIPE," Darla yelped.

Yzma gasped once she had an idea of that. "That's it, Kronk, that's it! I'll get rid of Kuzco."

"The real Kuzco," Kronk asked dumbly.

"Of course the real Kuzco, and I have a new accomplice," Yzma replied as she took a firm hold on Darla.

"Let me go! Let me go," Darla yelled before recalling at what Yzma said about getting rid of Kuzco, "can I help?"

"You want to help," Yzma scoffed, "but you're just a little girl."

Soon Darla smirked once she showed Yzma the Silver Crystal, who gasped once she saw it.

"What was that," Yzma asked.

"The Silver Crystal," Darla grinned innocently. "Now then, what have I done," she put her voice up high in a mocking tone, "I'm just a little girl."

"Uh...after all, you can be useful," Yzma said.

Darla grinned innocently.

"Are you sure, Yzma," Kronk asked, "I mean, she's a little girl....."

"SILENCE," Yzma snapped before grinning to Darla, "you can call me Aunt Yzma if you want..."

"Well, how are we going to get rid of that selfish emperor, Aunt Yzma," Darla grinned.

"Yes, how's that going to work if you get fired and all that," Kronk asked the evil woman.

"The only ones who know about that are the four of us, who will soon be the three of us," Yzma replied.

"And I'm one of these three, right," Kronk asked.

"To the secret lab," Yzma called out.

"Ooh," Darla grinned.

Yzma and Kronk led Darla over to a pair of levers.

"Pull the lever, Kronk," Yzma demanded.

Then Kronk pulled a lever, which made a trapdoor open up and Yzma fell into it.

"WRONG LEVEEEEEEERRR," Yzma cried out in grief before splashing.

"I guess the lever to get us to the secret lab is the other," Darla said.

"Why do I have that lever," Yzma growled before slapping off the crocodile.

Kronk pulled the other lever and they were suddenly in a roller-coaster cart.

"Please remain seated and keep your arms and legs at all times," an announcer warned them.

"Ooh, a ride," Darla grinned.

Then the ride went downhill and went all around.

Kronk laughed and hollered as he put his hands up as he had the most fun on this. "Faster, faster!"

"Whee," Darla chuckled.

"Yzma, put your hands up," Kronk hollered.

Sure enough, the car stopped and they all landed in the secret lab, wearing white smocks, black goggles and gloves.

"Ooh," Darla grinned.

"Ah, how am I going to do it," Yzma smirked as she tried to come up with an idea. "Oh, I know. I'll turn him into a flea.  A harmless, little flea.  And then I'll put that flea in a box, and I'll put it inside another box, and then I'll box it out to me, and if it comes, I'll tear it up with a hammer," she laughed wickedly.

"That could be a little bad, but at least he'll go," Darla said. Then she picked up a bottle curiously before it felt heavy and then she incidentally tripped it, poured it onto a plant, which murdered it instantly. "Whoops..."

"Or, to save on shipping costs, I'll just poison him with that," Yzma suggested as she took a new bottle of the potion, "take it, Kronk, feel the power."

"Oh, I can feel it," Kronk took the bottle.

"Excellent, then how are you going to drink it without knowing it's poison," Darla asked.

"You saw what just happened to that plant," Yzma asked.

"But what if this is something else," Darla asked.

"Then you better look at the label," Yzma took the bottle from Kronk to see a skull, "it's poison."

"Well then, we'll let the poison be like a drink at dinner," Darla asked.

"Exactly, my daughter," Yzma replied, "our moment of triumph is near! It's DINNERTIME!!"

Then thunder and lightning flashed outside.

Soon it was dinnertime and the table was set. Darla was wearing a glittering purple dress with black dress shoes and white gloves that once belonged to Yzma as she loved the girl like an apprentice child she never had.

"If my nieces were girls like you..." Yzma sighed, "but I love them very much."

"Well, we'd better make sure Kronk has your information," Darla said.

Then Kronk came past.

"Well, is everything ready for tonight," Yzma asked.

"Oh, yes, I thought we should start with soup and a light salad and then see how we feel," Kronk replied.

"No dinner," Darla moaned.

"You know," Yzma reminded.

"Oh, right! The poison.  The poison for Kuzco.  The poison is chosen to murder Kuzco.  Kuzco's poison," Kronk said before looking lost, "that poison?"

"Yes, that poison," Yzma replied.

"Had you covered," Kronk nodded.

"Excellent," Darla grinned.

"A few drops of his drink, then I suggest a toast, and he's dead before dessert," Yzma smirked.

"It's really embarrassing, because it's delicious," Kronk replied.

"BOOM BAM, DARLING," Kuzco kicked the door open as he came in with Jesse, Patch, Gertie and Joanie, "let's go to the grub, I am a hungry king of the world!"

"Yes, let's use our grub," Gertie grinned.

"I hope you're not upset, but I brought these children with me," Kuzco said. "They're colder than I thought," he spun his chair and sat down, removing his crown at the table, "well...do you have any hard feelings about being released?"

"Nothing," Yzma said through her teeth.

"Oh, Kronk, why don't you give the emperor a drink," Darla asked.

"Drink...oh, riiiiight..." Kronk winked to her before going away before coming back after pouring a glass for the young emperor, "Your Highness..."

Patch sniffed the air. "I can smell the burning of vegetables."

Soon Jesse covered his muzzle before making it look like he had said that.

Kronk gasped before running away. "My spinach puffs!"

Then the room became awkward with silence.

Kuzco played with the fork boredly.

"Well, Darla, how are you," Jesse asked his little sister.

"Oh, uh...doing great," Darla said.

"Well...he looks good..." Joanie shrugged about Kronk.

"He is," Yzma replied.

"Is he in his late 20's," Gertie asked.

"I'm not sure," Yzma grinned sheepishly.

"Saved them," Kronk came back in.

"Eventually," Darla sighed.

Yzma and Kuzco showed relief.

"Spinach puffs," Joanie and Jesse asked each other curiously.

"Just watch," Kronk warned softly. "It's yet hot," he started to place each spinach puff on a mini bowl.

"Ahem...Kronk..." Yzma reminded, "the Emperor needs his drink..."

"Right. OH!!  Riiiiight..." Kronk replied before going to do that. But then, he forgot which drink was the poison.

"You forgot which drink was for the emperor, didn't you," Darla asked, unimpressed.

"Erm..." Kronk bit his lip.

Darla looked at the glasses. "They're all alike...."

Soon Kronk took all of the drinks back where he could fix the problem.

"Hey, Kronk, is everything alright," Kuzco called.

"Oh, uh...the drinks were a little hot," Kronk replied hesitantly before coming over with the glasses, "hello, did you see that heavens today? Speak about blue!"

"Yes, Kronk, hedgehogs..." Yzma muttered.

"Yes, very perspective....." Darla also muttered.

"A toast for the Emperor," Yzma raised her glass, "long live Kuzco!"

Kuzco spun the glass on his fingertip and then drank down the glass. Kronk gestured for Yzma and Darla not to drink since it was poison, where they splashed it onto a plant and a passing, annoying fly. Jesse, Gertie and Joanie seemed not to see Kronk's gesture as they drank their drinks. Darla looked hesitant about that.

"Oh...it's delicious," Kuzco grinned before his face fell flat on the table.

"Hey, you alright, Your Majesty," Jesse, Gertie and Joanie asked before doing the same fact.

"Eventually," Yzma cheered, "good job, Kronk!"

"Oh, they're very easy to make; I'll give you the recipe," Kronk grinned innocently.

"I didn't want you to murder my brother, his girlfriend and his best friend! I just wanted you to murder Kuzco," Darla warned Yzma.

"I should've thought of this before," Yzma replied innocently, "now to get rid of the corpses..."

Patch whined as he was concerned about Jesse, but soon looked relieved.

"Well! What were we saying," Kuzco sat right back up and the others followed him, must've been some odd side effect.

"Yes, what were we saying," Jesse asked.

Darla pulled a strange face.

"Uh, we only had toast to, uh..." Yzma stammered until suddenly the others grew long dangly ears, "long and healthy....rule."

"Uh, yes..." Darla said with wide eyes.

"Well, what have you done? I mean, you've been here a long time, and I've really been here a long time...I thought it might be difficult for someone your age to adjust to privacy," Kuzco continued before he and the others were slowly turning into llamas without even realizing or noticing it, "hello, Kronk, can you convince me, buddy?  Be a friend?  How about finding a new job?"

Then Darla and Yzma began to use the broccoli as gestures to Kronk to warn him to murder Kuzco.

"More broccoli," Kronk asked as he pulled out a plate of the vegetable.

Yzma moaned and face-palmed before hitting her first into her hand.

"Because, to be honest, you're not a spring chicken......" Jesse continued, "and I mean as much as possible--"

Then Kronk whacked Kuzco in the head with the tray, which knocked out the young emperor instantly.

"Is he alright," Gertie asked before gasping to see Kuzco as a llama.

"What have we drunk," Joanie asked as she saw that her hands were now hooves.

"I feel Yzma has something to do with this," Jesse frowned before he heard a clanging sound and where he looked to see Kronk with a dented bowl. "Really," he asked.

"I'm sorry, but Yzma wants me," Kronk replied foolishly.

Soon Yzma went face-palm before spraying some perfume into Jesse, Gertie, Joanie and even Patch's faces.

This made the others cough from that.

"Oh, it smells so bad...." Joanie moaned before she passed out in exhaustion with Gertie, Jesse and Patch.

"What, a llama," Yzma gasped at Kuzco, "HE BELIEVES THAT HE'S DEAD!!"

"Yes...weird..." Kronk admitted.

"Let me see that vial," Darla said to Kronk while holding her hand out.

Kronk took the bottle and gave it to her. Darla saw the skull, but then peeled back the label to see it was actually not poison.

"This isn't poison, this is extract llama," Yzma moaned before hitting herself in the head as she couldn't believe how foolish she could be to let this happen.

"How did we not see the paper shipped halfway to China," Darla sighed.

"You know, in my defense, Yzma's poisons are all alike, she might think of re-tagging some of them," Kronk suggested.

"Take them out of town and get the job done," Yzma demanded.

Kronk tilted his head with a small pout. "How about dinner?"

"Kronk, this is kind of reluctance," Darla said.

"How about dessert," Kronk asked.

Yzma paused for a moment. "Well, I think there's time for dessert..."

"And coffee," Kronk asked with a hopeful grin.

Yzma glanced at him before giving in. "Well, a fast cup of coffee," she grew vicious again, "THEN TAKE HIM OUT OF TOWN AND FINISH THE JOB!!"

"And they," Kronk asked while pointing to Jesse and the others.

"The same with them," Yzma replied.

"Isn't that a little far," Darla asked hesitantly, "I mean...these are my family!"

"True, but they are witnesses," Yzma said.

"What," Darla asked.

"Maybe you should go with Kronk," Yzma decided.

"Me," Darla squeaked slightly.

"Yes," Yzma nodded.

Then Darla sighed as she was brought into this, but she put her cloak back on.

After dessert and coffee...

Darla and Kronk were both now sneaking out the back while Kronk made some noises.

'Does he do his theme music,' Darla thought to herself in slight annoyance, but mild amusement as Kronk was more like a child than a grown man.

Then a couple of people passed by and Darla hid for shelter while Kronk slunk to the wall, trying not to move. The two thought he was strange and as they passed by, Darla and Kronk went back to business and soon where they went to a bridge. Darla felt bad about doing this while Kronk didn't seem to care. At least, at first. Soon the two of them threw the sack over the bridge. Darla frowned as she watched the sack flowing down the water.

"Mission finished," Kronk smirked and was about to walk off, but he couldn't help but feel guilty about what he had done. Sure, Kuzco was a bit of a jerk, but Kronk was way too nice to let this happen to someone, especially Darla's family involved.

"We can't let them die," Darla said.

"No, you can't..." a voice said.

Darla looked around until she looked down to one shoulder to see what resembled her in an angel outfit with a white robe and wings with a golden halo. "My shoulder angel....." she muttered to herself.

Her shoulder angel nodded with a grin.

"Don't listen to that girl," a figure that looked like Darla as well that had a pointed bow that resembled devil horns with bat wings, and a pitchfork appeared on the other shoulder, "she's trying to lead you to justice. I'm leading you on a rocky path!"

"Oh, yes, I don't think I listen to the devil on my shoulder," Darla said.

"Good girl, I taught you well," the angel grinned.

Darla chuckled shyly, but focused again. "Concentrate! My family's in danger and I have to help them...whether Kronk wants it or not," she saw Kronk's shoulder angel and shoulder devil. "Um...is this normal," she asked her angel and devil.

"Normally if you're in doubt, but if you want, we can go," the devil offered.

"No, no," Darla shook her head.

"Just say the word," the angel replied.

"Thank you though," Darla grinned to her conscience.

Soon Kronk's shoulder devil was doing handstands. Darla and her guardians looked in deadpan.

"Wh-What does it matter," Kronk asked his devil.

"No, no, he has a point," Kronk's angel replied.

"Listen, guys, you're confusing me, then go, or you know, yet I'm getting rid of you," Kronk warned his angel and devil as he was either going to live with the guilt of the others dying by walking off or he could save them some fashion and somehow.

"I'm with you two, I think I know what I have to do," Darla said to her supervisors.

"Whatever your love," Darla's angel agreed before disappearing with the devil and Kronk's angel and devil.

"Well, Kronk, you're strong, where you must prevent the bag from coming down the river," Darla decided.

"You had it," Kronk nodded as he ran away to save them.

Then Darla ran with him as she hoped this would work nicely. Kronk ran and luckily for him, he caught the sack just before it went over the edge and where luckily the sack didn't seem heavy for him.

"You had this, Kronk," Darla bit her lip.

"Yes, no problem," Kronk grinned as he carried the sack with no problem, "your brother's a little heavier than the others, but about his dog."

"This is because they're so strong," Darla said, "and also invulnerable."

"Huh..." Kronk replied.

"Alright, easy now..." Darla backed up as Kronk was lugging the bag back toward them, "now, I'm not sure where we can put them, but we can't let Yzma know...she's probably frustrated, she's eerie enough to look."

"Oh, dear; what to do, what to do," Kronk asked hesitantly.

Darla followed after him as she also felt hesitant.

There was a cat sleeping at the stairs they were walking down and Kronk incidentally stepped on the tail, which made him yelp and incidentally throw the sack up and it ended up in the back of a cart and a very familiar man.

"Pacha," Darla said.

"What am I warning the village about," Pacha sighed as he looked very brokenhearted over what Kuzco warned him about today, but he loaded up and was ready to go, not realizing or noticing the sack just yet.

Darla decided to let Pacha have the sack since this fashion, Yzma wouldn't know.

Kronk tried to stop Pacha, but he didn't hear the bigger man as his llama was taking him home. "This isn't good....I hope he's not looking for me anymore..." he frowned before looking deathly hesitant.

"Don't worry, they're safe now," Darla said.

"I think so..." Kronk said before trying to walk off of the scene.

"Farewell on every trip you take," Darla prayed for her brother and the others before following after him. Unknown to her, soon they would awaken.

Pacha sighed as he was on his road to his home where not only the other villagers lived, but his wife and children and another one on the road and where one of his children was checking on how much he had grown. The mother grinned in amusement as she measured her children.

"Mother, Mother! I think I'm yet growing!  Measure me again," the boy urged his mother.

"Alright, Tipo," Pacha's wife chuckled, "stay silent and let me see."

"Mum, you and I both know it's impossible for him to have a grown up in the last five moments," the girl rolled her eyes before looking curious, "isn't it?"

"See how much you've grown," Pacha's wife grinned at Tipo after she marked his height.

"What," the daughter looked surprised before pushing her brother, "Tipo, get out of the road. It's my turn again.  Measure me!"

Then Tipo spotted Pacha, which made him grin. "Daddy's home," he and his sister both rushed to their father.

Pacha's wife grinned, but she helped herself up as she was about to be due with their new baby any day now. Pacha laughed as he picked up his children.

"Dad, I ate a bug today," Tipo grinned as he put his father's hat on.

"Oh, was Mum baking again," Pacha joked, "don't let her know I said that."

"I heard that," Pacha's wife said as she came over.

The children chuckled while Pacha smirked teasingly.

"Alright, back off, lady with a baby coming," Pacha's wife said as she came to her husband.

Pacha lifted his two children out of the road as he kissed his wife right on the lips and she kissed back.

"Oh, oh, Dad, look how big I am," Tipo grinned at his father as he got to the ground as he wanted to show him his new height.

"We were all measured today," Pacha's daughter, known as Chaca, announced with a grin.

"Oh," Pacha replied.

"I'm going through a growth spurt," Tipo grinned as he stood against the wall to show his height, "I'm as big as you if you were me."

"Absolutely," Pacha grinned as he saw how big his son had gotten.

"That's not impressive with my loose tooth, you see," Chaca grinned before wiggling her bottom tooth to show her dad.

An older girl came out for Tipo and Chaca once she saw her parents were together, which meant that she had a job to do.

"OK, that's it, you two," Chicha warned her younger children, "our agreement was that you could stay awake until Daddy comes home. Now say goodnight!"

"Dad, do we must," the children asked before pouting and gave puppy dog eyes.

Pacha knew exactly what to do to get the children to go to bed without giving into the puppy dog eyes or the pouting.

"No, you two can stay awake," Pacha smirked as he stood behind his wife, "we'll just sit here letting each other know how much we love each other. Right, darling?"

Chicha cooed and kissed against him.

Tipo and Chaca were disgusted and ran inside the hut. "Good night!"

"I'll take them to bed, Mum and Dad," the older girl said.

"Thanks, Nina," Chicha grinned to their eldest.

"It's my pleasure," Nina grinned back.

"Good girl," Chicha nodded.

"C'mon, guys, Mum and Dad said it's bedtime," Nina warned Tipo and Chaca as it was time for bed, "although...I wish I'd met the Emperor today as Dad..."

"You want to marry him," Chaca teased.

"What? Pssh!  No," Nina scoffed before blushing.

Tipo and Chacha chuckled.

Then Nina had the two brush their teeth, change into their pajamas and get into their bunk bed for the night. "I want you two to stay in bed like good little boys," she warned her younger siblings, "it's hard enough keeping Mummy up since we're having a new baby soon."

"Let's stay in bed," Tipo said.

"We promise," Chaca added.

"Good night, guys," Nina grinned and kissed her siblings on the forehead and blew out the candle in their room and then left the room, came downstairs, as her mother was washing dishes while looking flustered while Pacha was going through serious distress about seeing the emperor today.

"Uh, Mum? Dad," Nina asked, "everything alright?"

"Huh? Oh, yes, I'm just a little tired from this trip," Pacha spoke up before leaving, "um...I'm going to put Misty away."

"I have to wash something......" Chicha added.

"Mother, is this about the emperor," Nina asked.

Chicha sighed. "Your father just said the emperor can't see you...I'd love to give this guy a piece of my mind..." she frowned slightly about Kuzco's arrogant behavior, which was hard for the villagers to ignore, since they lived under him.

Nina had a feeling her father might have lied and decided to go and find out from Pacha what really happened. Chicha sighed as she went to washing the dishes.

Then Nina came to see her father as he was very blue this evening. "Dad, are you alright," she gently called.

"Yes, Nina, I'm a little exhausted from the trip," Pacha frowned.

"Dad..." Nina replied as she sensed something wrong.

Pacha sighed as he couldn't keep anything from his oldest child. "It's about Emperor Kuzco..." he said.

"What about him," Nina asked.

"Nina, sit down, darling..." Pacha patted the spot next to him as he had a lot on his mind about today.

Soon Nina came over and sat on the spot her father patted down.

"The Emperor wants to build something just for him and get us out of the village..." Pacha explained, "I can't bear to let your mother know."

"What he wants to build may be more reluctant than us who live in the village," Nina asked.

"A swimming pool...." Pacha sighed.

"A swimming pool," Nina replied before scoffing and frowning, "he can't be serious!"

"I'm afraid so," Pacha frowned.

"Dude..." Nina sighed, "w-where are we going to live?"

"He didn't care," Pacha replied, "Nina, I'm sorry..."

Nina simply sighed as she didn't think Kuzco could be heartless.

"Are you going to be alright, darling," Pacha asked.

"Yes, but...I just wonder what's going to happen to all of us..." Nina replied, "especially with the new baby coming soon..."

Soon the two of them heard something going on in the sack.

"Dad, did you hear that," Nina asked.

Pacha looked to the bag and decided to open it up. "What," he asked as he saw the llamas and looked concerned and worried for them, "where did you guys come from?"

"Not touchy..." Kuzco muttered in a daze.

"Where are we," Patch moaned as his head burst up.

"I feel like I was run over by a train..." Joanie moaned as he got up.

Pacha shrieked and stepped back with Nina. "Demon dog and llamas!"

"What are you speaking about," Jesse moaned as he got up.

"Demon dog and llamas, where," Kuzco asked before seeing Misty, which made them both shriek, frightened out of his wits.

"You should go home," Pacha warned Nina.

"Well, we weren't dreaming; Yzma really turned us into llamas," Gertie panicked.

"You also dreamed," Jesse asked.

"Actually, I did it myself," Joanie added.

"Where are we any matter," Patch asked.

"You're in our village," Nina said.

"Wait...I know that guy...." Kuzco frowned to Pacha, "it's that weeping peasant!"

"Emperor Kuzco," Pacha asked out of confusion.

"Yes," Kuzco scoffed, "who do you think you're speaking to?"

"Should one of us let him know," Jesse whispered.

"Uh...like you, um, you don't...look like the emperor," Pacha warned Kuzco.

"What do you mean I don't like the Emperor," Kuzco replied with a deadpan expression.

"Um, uh, do that..." Pacha warned him, making a motion with his hands.

"What is this, some kind of little game that you country folk like to-" Kuzco scoffed as he copied and then saw he had hooves, which made him shriek out. "It can't be," he ran over to some water and saw that he was in fact turned into a llama, "my face! Aah!  My beautiful, beautiful face!"

"Alright, just calm down," Nina said to Kuzco.

"I'm an ugly, smelly llama," Kuzco complained, "llama face!"

Then Nina smacked him across the face to make him stop getting hysterical.

"Thanks, I needed this," Kuzco said.

"Alright, Your Majesty, how did this happen," Pacha asked.

"I'm trying to figure this out, right? Ohh-ho!  I don't remember, I don't remember anything," Kuzco replied before frowning to Pacha, "wait a moment.  I remember you.  I was building my pool where your house was and then you got mad at me.  Oh!  And you turned me into a llama!"

"What? No, I didn't," Pacha replied.

"Yes, and then you took me," Kuzco yet frowned.

"It wasn't him, it was Yzma," Patch barked at Kuzco.

"Yzma...of course...that gives me an idea......" Kuzco replied, "I have to go back to the palace...she has that secret lab, I'll just snap my fingers and warn her to change me back."

Nina couldn't believe Kuzco was as bad as her father said he was, but looked to him. "Dad, I think you should defend yourself, he's a brat."

"What did you say," Kuzco asked Nina.

Pacha took his eldest daughter's words into action and looked over to Kuzco as he bore a brave expression on his face. "Build your summer house somewhere else," he said eventually.

"You deserve that," Nina frowned to Kuzco, "unless you change your habits, you'll be stuck like this and we won't help you."

"What about us," Joanie asked.

"I'm sorry, but I yet say that," Nina replied as she turned away and folded her arms.

"And I agree with her choices," Pacha agreed with his eldest as she was being mature about this.

"But we don't even agree with your foolish pool idea! And besides, Jesse here might just stop them from building it, since he's strong as a god," Joanie warned them.

"What do you want us to do," Nina asked, "it's not like we can turn you into humans until Kuzco here learns his lesson."

"Or you can take us back to the palace and make Yzma turn us back into humans," Gertie said.

"Wait, I have a little secret for all of you," Kuzco smirked, "come closer...closer...I DON'T DO DEALS WITH PHEASANTS!!"

"Kuzco, stop this," Patch growled, "your selfishness got us into this!"

"That's right, if you hadn't fired Yzma, she wouldn't have tried to murder you," Jesse frowned.

"Yes, you're right, Yzma would never do this for me," Kuzco scoffed. "If you won't help, then I'll go back to the palace alone..." he walked away, trying to walk on two legs, but soon went back to four as he couldn't keep his balance as a llama.

"I wouldn't recommend that," Pacha warned, "it's a little dangerous if you don't know the road."

"That's true," Nina said.

"Nice try, guys," Kuzco scoffed as he kept walking forward, ignoring them.

"No, I'm really warning you, there are jaguars and snakes and quicksand," Pacha tried to warn.

"I'm not listening yet," Kuzco mocked as he walked into the woods.

"There are also jaguars in there, then don't blame us if you get eaten," Joanie yelled.

"You know what? Go ahead and go," Pacha yelled before looking annoyed and frustrated, "if there's no Kuzco, there's no Kuzcotopia.  Take care of my problem!"

"That's right," Joanie nodded.

Then Pacha was about to walk off with Nina, but soon felt guilty about letting Kuzco only go out the woods to meet his untimely death.

"Can't you use magic to change us back," Gertie asked Jesse and Patch.

"I'm yet a dog," Patch said.

"But what about the rest of us who are stuck like llamas," Joanie asked.

"I don't think I can use my magic that fashion..." Jesse said since he was also a llama, "what about you, Patch?"

"I can try to return you three to the humans," Patch said.

"Shoot all you want," Joanie replied.

Then Patch began to use his magic on Jesse, Joanie and Gertie. Jesse, Joanie and Gertie closed their eyes as they hoped they would be turned right back into humans and where it did work for them.

"Does it work," Joanie asked.

"Oh, dear, Joanie, it didn't work for you," Jesse gasped, "you're a monster now!"

Joanie shrieked and looked in her reflection before frowning with a firm pout as she was back to normal and Jesse was trying to be funny. "Not funny," she frowned.

"I can't believe it.....the magic is real....." Nina said, "I always believed in it..."

"I know what you mean, darling," Pacha agreed.

"Now, what are we going to do with Kuzco," Gertie asked.

"We have to go after him..." Pacha sighed, "I'm too good to let him go."

"You really have a big heart, Dad," Nina grinned admirably.

"Well, should we save him from being eaten or murdered," Jesse asked.

"Yes..." Pacha replied.

"He better learn his lesson..." Patch narrowed his eyes, "I don't care if he's the Emperor, I'm going to bite him in the belly!"

"Nina, go back to your mother, brother and sister," Pacha warned his eldest daughter.

"Alright, Dad," Nina said.

Misty nodded in agreement. Nina grinned and petted the llama before she went back to the hut as Tipo and Chaca were fast asleep right now and Chicha was on her road to bed.

"Nina, where's your father," Chicha asked.

"Um...he came back to see the Emperor," Nina replied.

"Really," Chicha asked, "so late at night?"

"The sooner the better......" Nina shrugged, "I'm going to bed."

"Alright," Chicha replied.

Nina nodded and then went to her bed as Tipo and Chaca were fast asleep in their bunk bed together.

"Eerie jungle....right," Kuzco scoffed as he explored the jungle. "Ooh, a leaf. Ooh, it could attack me.  Oh, it's an eerie tree.  I'm afraid.  Ha ha.  Please.  Never find my road?  I'm the emperor, and as such, I was born with an innate sense of direction.  Alright, where am I?  Wha-" he began to feel lost. Then he started to get eerie as he saw different facts of the jungle and even saw a fly being eaten by a spider.

It was rather disturbing, disgusting and eerie.

"Alright, that was the craziest fact I've ever seen," Kuzco muttered.

Then there was a rustling sound in the bushes, which made Kuzco shriek, but it was just a friendly squirrel.

"What have you done," Kuzco frowned at the squirrel.

Then the squirrel chattered and pulled out an acorn to become friends.

"Oh, for me," Kuzco grinned as he took the acorn, "why, I don't know what to say."

The squirrel grinned before he was chucked in the head with an acorn.

"Get out on the road, Bucky," Kuzco frowned at the squirrel.

The squirrel began to rub its head out of frustration from the pain. Kuzco walked away in a huff, only to fall through a jungle nest and landed into a pit of black jaguars, which concerned him instantly, but they were all asleep. As long as he was silent, he could survive this. The squirrel decided to get back to Kuzco for his rudeness and he blew up a balloon, turning it into a balloon zebra and pulled out a pin to burst it and awaken the wild cats.

"Oh, dear, oh, dear," Kuzco shook his head.

The squirrel nodded as he pushed the pin closer and closer to the balloon until...

BURST!!

Kuzco saw the jaguars were yet asleep. "HA," he smirked before cupping his mouth as he awakened the jaguars and soon where the jaguars all growled at him for awakening them.

Kuzco ran for dear life as the jaguars chased him and where he even tripped. The jaguars came closer and closer for Kuzco. Even the kitten seemed threatening. Kuzco backed up as he was at the edge of the cliff now. This looked like this was the end for him. Then he suddenly heard yelling and looked away. Pacha did a Tarzan yell as he was coming past and swinging on a vine to save Kuczo. Jesse, Joanie, Gertie and Patch were doing the same fact.

"How do you control this fact," Joanie yelped as she had damage with her vine.

"I don't think there's any fashion to control it," Gertie yelped.

"Oh, c'mon, Joanie, you met George of the Jungle," Jesse reminded.

"Yes, but he never taught me how to control this fact," Joanie warned him.

"Oh, man, I should've been there....." Jesse replied.

Joanie yelped and then she smashed into a tree.

"That must hurt," Patch winced.

Soon Kuzco was rescued by Pacha and Joanie now swung on a vine with Jesse.

"Alright, let's get out of this jungle," Jesse decided.

"Oops..." Gertie gulped once she saw where they were swinging to.

"Oops? Why me?  Whaddya mean what's the use," Patch panicked.

Soon they got their response as they got tied up onto a log with their vines.

"I'm sorry, Jesse," Gertie frowned.

"That's alright, Gertie," Jesse soothed.

"Perhaps I'm just new to this entire rescue business, but that could be seen as a step backwards for me, wouldn't you say," Kuzco deadpanned.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we'll go out of that," Patch said.

"That's fine," Pacha added, "we can find out."

Then the log began to break away from the tree.

"I hate you," Kuzco muttered.

"Jesse, faster, break the tendrils," Joanie yelled.

Jesse took a deep breath and groaned as he used his muscles to break through the vines to prevent them from certain death and/or danger and where he was able to break through the ropes.

"C'mon, guys," Jesse said while Patch tried to gnaw at the vines and break through them with his muscles and then he joined his boy once they were free.

Then the two went to help Joanie and Gertie and where due to their strength, it was pretty easy. Then Joanie and Gertie crawled up to help Pacha and Kuzco get out with help from Jesse and Patch.

"WATER," Joanie called out.

"Oh, crap," Patch yelped as he knew neither Pacha or Kuzco could breathe underwater.

SPLASH!!

Kuzco and Pacha were going through a long and painful fashion before going to a waterfall as the others turned into merpeople, and in Patch's case, a merpuppy.

"We have to save them before they reach this waterfall," Gertie warned them.

"C'mon, Joanie," Jesse helped Joanie out with her swimming since she was yet new the entire swimming fact.

The four swam as fast to the ex-emperor and village leader and as faster as they could.

"Oops..." Pacha said with wide eyes.

"Don't warn me, we're about to cross over a huge waterfall," Kuzco replied.

"Yes," Pacha nodded.

"Sharp rocks below," Kuzco asked.

"Most likely," Pacha nodded again.

Kuzco had a blank expression on his face until he spoke again. "Bring it on..."

Soon Jesse caught hold of the log as he stopped them from falling down the waterfall.

"What just happened," Kuzco asked.

"Hey, Jesse saved us," Pacha said as he looked over.

"Alright, where should I put you guys now," Jesse wondered with clenched teeth as he held the log.

"Just put us someplace far from the waterfall," Kuzco said.

"Alright, here we go," Jesse said before moving with the others.

They were now at the riverbank. Pacha took off his cloak since it was soaking wet and he decided to make a fire to warm them all up.

"That was close," Patch said.

"Now that you're here, you'll take me back to the palace," Kuzco decided as he dried himself off, "I'll let Yzma exchange me and I'll start building Kuzcotopia. Oh, yes."

"Yes, the Kuzcotopia fact isn't happening," Jesse said.

"You can just forget about this," Patch said.

"What," Kuzco gasped.

"I'm sorry, but you need to hear that, Kuzco," Patch replied.

"Yes, if you build Kuzcotopia, you'll be the cause of many people becoming homeless," Jesse said.

"Isn't that making you feel bad," Gertie asked.

Kuzco paused to think slightly.

"Yes, I bet you didn't think of this, did you," Joanie scoffed.

"And besides, Yzma is now probably warning your employees that you and the four of us are dead without knowing that we're not dead," Patch said.

"Yzma wouldn't do this......" Kuzco shook his head.

Pacha sighed as he wanted Kuzco to change, but felt like it could happen, but he wouldn't give up.

At the palace....

Everyone wore black as there was a picture of the young emperor and everyone carried candles to honor the memory.

"And then, that is with great despair that we mourn the sudden departure of our beloved prince," Yzma gave an eulogy, "so tragically taken from us on the eve of his eighteenth birthday."

Kronk began to weep into his hands. "Poor little tyke...."

Darla patted him on the back as she bore a grim expression on her face to play along.

"His legacy will live on in our hearts for eternity," Yzma concluded.

"He never had a chance," Kronk sniffled.

"Well..." Yzma said before throwing away her cloak to show a glittering pink dress with a feather, "he's not dying! Get back to work."

Soon all of the staff started to work on making everything Yzma like.

"Kronk, darling, I must admit you made me concern if you mixed these poisons, but now that Kuzco's dead, all is lost," Yzma smirked as she was given some food.

"Ah, oh, yes, yes, he died well, along with these others......" Kronk replied hesitantly, "I mean, you can't get much more dead than them now. Unless, of course, we murdered them by new ones."

Yzma gave him a suspicious look. "I think..."

Soon Darla got hesitant before seeing the royal dresser. "Oh, look, the royal dresser's here," she said before dashing away.

"Kronk...Darla..." Yzma came to her henchman and the little girl.

"I should warn you right now that I'm a little hard to fit," Kronk warned the royal dresser, "I was a long 66 and a 31 in life."

"And you, my darling," the royal dresser asked Darla.

"Oh, just a nice small size....." Darla said, "about six or seven perhaps."

The royal dress designer nodded and was about to measure her. Then Yzma kicked him off the concession stand. Darla gasped at that, but looked relieved as the royal dresser had a soft landing on a pillow.

"Kuzco's dead, right," Yzma smirked to Kronk and Darla, "warn me Kuzco's dead. I need to hear these words."

"Are these the words you want to be said exactly," Darla grinned hesitantly.

Soon Yzma got crazy frustrated. "HE'S YET ALIVE?!"

"Well, he's not as dead as we hoped," Kronk shrugged innocently.

"Kronk..." Yzma growled through her teeth.

"I just thought I'd warn you in case Kuzco comes back with these others," Kronk replied.

"They can't go back," Yzma frowned as she looked like she was about to blow.

"Yes, it would be embarrassing," Kronk replied, "especially after that adorable eulogy."

"You think," Yzma hissed as she caught Kronk by his collar and also frowned to Darla, "you and I are going to find them. If any of them speak, we're done!  Now let's move!"

"Y-Y-Y-Yes, ma'am," Darla nodded.

Meanwhile...

"DAD, WATCH OUT," Tipo yelled out as he suddenly awakened in his bed and shivered heavily.

Chicha came into the room with a candle as she was worried about her son. "Tipo, what is this," she asked.

"I had a dream that Dad was tied to a log and was swerving uncontrollably along a raging river of death," Tipo cried out in grief, "it was horrible until he was saved by that strong boy and his dog!"

"Sounds like a dream you had, but don't worry, your father's fine; he just came back to see the emperor," Chicha warned him.

Tipo paused for a moment and then settled down. "Oh, yes, as you and Nina warned him about why you guys are always right."

"Well, in my dream, Dad was with a llama and a dog turned these other llamas into people like magic," Chaca spoke up.

"That could never happen," Tipo scoffed.

"It might," Chaca argued.

"Nuh-uh."

"Yuh-huh!"

"Nuh-uh..."

Then the two went back and forth.

"Good night, you two," Chicha chuckled as she was about to blow the candle out.

"Night, Mum," Chaca and Tipo replied before going back.

Nina chuckled as she had overheard her younger siblings' argument before they went to sleep.

Back in the woods....

Soon Pacha was getting cold since he gave Kuzco his poncho to keep him warm through the night, but soon Kuzco awakened to give it back.

"Thanks," Kuzco said.

"Oh, no problem," Pacha replied.

"It looks like wool," Kuzco said.

"Yes," Pacha nodded.

"Alpaca," Kuzco asked.

"Oh, yes, that is..." Pacha nodded again.

The rest of the conversation, which became awkward as a frog croaked. The two kept speaking until Joanie, Jesse, Gertie and Patch eventually awakened.

Patch yawned and stretched while smacking his lips, but he came up to the water and lapped some of it up to have a drink. "Mm...delicious..." he grinned.

Jesse grinned and petted his dog while rubbing his eyes and looked to Gertie as she was slowly awakening.

Gertie's light brunette hair danced in the wind until she felt the top of her head and her green eyes widened. "Wh-where's my..." she looked around, "where's my bandana?!"

Jesse looked around until he saw it had been caught in the wind and was now stuck on a branch. Then he climbed up the tree and went to get the bandana for his girlfriend.

"I bet you stole it," Gertie frowned at Joanie, "I hate you, Joanie! You're yet Little Miss Doom and Gloom!  Would it murder you to grin from time to time?!  I-"

"Found it," Jesse came back with the bandana.

Joanie frowned slightly while Gertie grinned hesitantly.

"I love you totally, my darling cousin," Gertie laughed hesitantly.

Joanie rolled her eyes. Then Gertie took the bandana and tied it back onto her head and felt much better now.

"Guys? I think they get along well," Patch warned the others as he grinned to Kuzco and Pacha.

"Then why does it seem to me that Kuzco is just acting," Joanie asked.

"Huh," Patch asked her.

"He just seems...fake..." Joanie shrugged.

"I agree," Gertie said.

Later, Pacha took them to a bridge.

"Alright," Pacha warned the others, "once you cross this bridge, it's only an hour to the palace."

"Well, because believe it or not, I think I need a bathroom," Kuzco replied.

"Oh, trust us, we believe it," Jesse said.

"What was that," Kuzco asked.

"Nothing," Pacha smirked with a chuckle until he stepped on a rotting wood on the bridge and then fell, but then was caught by the vines, "WOAH!!"

"You alright, Pacha," Jesse asked.

"I think so...one of you, faster, help me up," Pacha replied.

"No, I don't think I will," Kuzco said, proving Joanie's hunch to be correct.

"You'll leave me here," Pacha asked.

"Well, I was going to get you imprisoned for life, but I like that better," Kuzco smirked, "get help from one of these guys, you don't need someone like me, I'm too reluctant to care."

"I was right," Teresa said, "you were just acting!"

"Yes, yes, good for you..." Kuzco rolled his eyes at her, "well, I had to say something to get you to take me back to town."

"Because you're not a good heartless man, you are, by far, the most heartless eighteen-year-old we've ever met," Gertie frowned.

"Well, I guess I better go," Kuzco chuckled, "farewell."

Patch snarled as he wanted to punish Kuzco, but karma seemed to beat him to it as he suffered the same fate as Pacha did moments earlier.

"Ha," Joanie laughed.

"Are you alright," Pacha asked, "you alright?"

"Yes...yes, I think I'm alright," Kuzco replied.

"Well," Pacha said before punching him since he deserved it, "this is for keeping your promise!"

"Yes," the others yelled in agreement.

Then Kuzco hit Pacha right back.

"Yes, this is for toy-making me and taking me to your village...which I'm yet about to destroy, any matter," he laughed until he suddenly got hesitant, "no touchy..."

Then Pacha hit against Kuzco.

"Will you build it again," Patch barked at Kuzco.

"Well, duh," Kuzco replied, "what else have I done?"

"That's it, we'll leave you here," Jesse frowned before going down and helping Pacha out of the vines before getting him back on the bridge.

"You've dug your own grave, now you need to lie," Gertie added firmly.

"Lucky..." Joanie muttered.

"Thanks for the help," Pacha said to Jesse.

"No problem, I have a different heart than other people," Jesse grinned to him before frowning down to Kuzco.

Then they heard the rope from the bridge breaking.

"We're so out of here," Patch said before walking away.

"You can't leave me here," Kuzco yelped.

"Of course we can," Gertie said.

"You have a good life now," Joanie grinned.

"Please, let me out," Kuzco begged.

"And let you be the cause of many people becoming homeless? Absolutely not," Patch barked.

"I'll change my fashions! Honest," Kuzco cried out in grief.

Joanie and Jesse hummed in thought together before frowning. "NO!!"

"Please, wait, I'm too young to die," Kuzco pleaded.

Pacha frowned to Kuzco, but due to being a nice guy, he couldn't help but think about the consequence of leaving Kuzco alone to die. "Guys, we can't leave him here," he said.

"I hate to admit it, but you're right," Jesse sighed.

Patch kept trying to walk off, but then he sighed. "Damn me being a dog......I was born with loyalty."

"Great," Gertie sighed.

Then they all decided to help Kuzco and once they did so, the bridge broke instantly and they were yet on the other side of the canyon.

"Don't make us regret saving you," Jesse said to Kuzco.

"Well, we better go," Pacha remarked, "with that bridge out, it's a four-day walk from the building."

"What," Kuzco asked, "you mean you're yet taking me back?"

"I shivered over it, didn't I," Pacha replied.

"Well, yes, but I hope you understand that nothing changes," Kuzco said, "I'm yet building Kuzcotopia if I come back."

"Kuzco..." Joanie frowned.

"No, no, four days is a long time," Pacha replied, "who knows? Perhaps he'll change his mind."

"Uh-huh...four days," Kuzco said before looking weak, "what are the chances by one of you taking me?"

"It depends, are you getting your feet tired," Jesse asked.

"I'm not sure I can walk very far right now," Kuzco said.

Then Jesse picked up Kuzco and held him close. "Alright, no monkeys."

"I'm a llama, Jesse..." Kuzco reminded.

"It's a saying," Jesse said.

"C'mon, let's go," Gertie said.

"I hope there's some food as well.....I'm getting hungry," Kuzco said.

"The food looks good right now," Joanie had to agree.

Elsewhere in the woods.....

"No, no, no! We searched every village surrounding the palace and yet no sign of Kuzco or any of these," Yzma growled as she marked out villages on her map, "where are they?"

"Perhaps they're in the jungle," Darla said.

"KRONK," Yzma called over her intercom.

"Kronk, over here," Kronk replied.

"I'm getting tired, pull over," Yzma demanded.

"Of course, Kronk," Kronk said before signing off and then getting down on his hands and knees.

"Once we find them, will you send Kronk to take care of the others while you murder Kuzco," Darla asked hesitantly.

"Perhaps..." Yzma replied before she stood up once they stopped and came down as they were in the woods, but then moaned once she saw she was in mud. "Perfect...these are my best shoes," she tried to walk, only for her shoes to slip away from the stickiness of the mud. "I hate that jungle....." she moaned and her scarf slapped her in the face and a bunch of bees buzzed and invaded her face.

Darla flinched and moaned slightly as Kronk was distracted by a bird. Soon Yzma started to run while trying to evade the bees.

"Ooh, what a beautiful bird......" Darla cooed.

"A small-winged, golden-throated warbler," Kronk grinned to the bird, "just another one for Exotic Bird Bingo."

"Ooh," Darla grinned.

"I love it," Kronk grinned back.

Soon Yzma got off of the bees, only to run into the squirrel from earlier, who chattered to her. "GET AWAY FROM ME!!"

Then the squirrel ran away from her and came to Darla and Kronk, who then chattered to them.

"She doesn't hate you, little one," Darla soothed the squirrel.

The squirrel chattered again.

"No, no, it's not you," Kronk added, "she's not the easiest person to approach. There's a wall over there.  Trust me."

"You're both speaking to that squirrel," Yzma frowned slightly.

"I can be able to speak to all the animals," Darla said.

"And as for me, I was a Junior Chipmunk," Kronk added, "I had to be an expert in all the creatures of the woods. Please continue."

"Thank you," the squirrel warned them before warning his story to them at what a rough time he had lately.

"Ugh! Why me," Yzma moaned, "why me?!"

"Can you please turn it down? I'm trying to hear the story of this poor squirrel," Darla said.

"Wait, it doesn't always have to be about you," Kronk warned Yzma, "this poor boy had a problem. Looks like a speaking llama gave him damage the other day."

Yzma gasped and then rushed right over. "Oh, a speaking llama?! Ah, I warn you..."

Soon the squirrel started to whisper something to Darla and Kronk.

"Um, Aunt Yzma," Darla looked to the woman, "I'm afraid she doesn't want to speak to you."

"Uh, well then, one of you will ask him," Yzma replied.

"Alright," Darla said.

Kronk spoke to the squirrel in Native American language.

"Well, he was there and then I got to the jaguars to chase him after he insulted me," the squirrel began to explain.

"It seems karma did its job after he insulted you, continue," Darla said.

"Brutal," Kronk agreed.

"Well, then anyhow," the squirrel continued as Yzma sneaked over to come in the middle of them. "I wanted to give him a little reward, where I made a baby balloon and burst it, and then--" he noticed Yzma and stopped speaking and folded his arms, turning his back on the wicked woman.

"Uh, could you give us a little room here," Kronk asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Yzma grinned sheepishly before taking a few steps back.

The squirrel yet frowned.

"Uh, a little further, please," Darla begged.

Then Yzma went about twenty feet off. "Like this?!"

"Perfect," the squirrel approved.

"Yes, that's alright," Kronk replied.

"NOW ONE OF YOU WILL ASK HIM WHICH FASHION THE SPEAKING LLAMA WENT," Yzma called out.

"Could you please warn us which fashion the speaking llama went," Darla asked the squirrel.

"That fashion," the squirrel pointed in one direction.

"Thank you," Darla grinned and gave the squirrel a gentle pat on the head.

The squirrel liked how Darla and Kronk treated him.

"Such a cute squirrel," Darla grinned.

"You'd make an excellent Junior Chipmunk," Kronk grinned down to Darla.

"Thanks," Darla grinned back.

Then they left the woods and went back to tracking down Kuzco and the others.

Meanwhile...

"Low blood sugar, right," Pacha asked as Jesse carried Kuzco.

"Yes, it's a curse," Kuzco grinned weakly.

"Well, luckily, we found a place with food," Gertie said.

They came up to a diner, but it didn't allow llamas which meant that Kuzco would have to go in disguise.

"Welcome to Mudka's Butcher Shop, home for the mug....of meat," the waitress greeted her new customers, "what's up?"

Jesse, Gertie, Joanie and Patch began to look over the menus. Patch was allowed in oddly enough.

"We'll have two special offers," Pacha warned the waitress before grinning to Kuzco, "is this alright, darling?"

"Oh, whatever you say, pumpkin," Kuzco replied as he was now disguised as a woman, "you know what I like."

Pacha chuckled and whispered to the waitress. "We're on our honeymoon."

"I think I'm going to chew," Joanie whispered.

"Blessed you for coming out in public," the waitress mumbled, "yes, there are two specials."

"And an onion stick," Kuzco said before chuckling sheepishly in his girl voice, "to share!"

"Order, order! I need two heartburn and a deep-fried door stop on table twelve," the waitress called out to the cook after taking the orders.

Soon the group started to laugh.

"Alright then, I'm going to admit this was a good idea," Pacha said.

"Where are you going to learn that all my ideas are good," Kuzco replied with a smug smirk.

"This is funny, because I thought it was a really bad idea to go into the jungle myself, be chased by jaguars, lie to us to take you back to the palace," Joanie deadpanned.

"Yes," Patch smirked.

"Everything sounds bad if you say that with that attitude," Kuzco replied.

The waitress gave everyone their food, but soon Kuzco looked sick to his stomach once he saw what he and Pacha would be eating. "Hot and crunchy pill bug for the happy couple. Farewell," she tossed confetti in the air before leaving.

"Oh, boy," Pacha beamed as he hit the bug with his bamboo stick and slurped the juice on the inside.

"This looks disgusting," Patch whispered.

Kuzco looked like he was going to throw up and even cupped his mouth with a hoof.

"Oh, here, let me have this for you," Pacha said as he tapped the bug and splattered it open for the llama.

Kuzco recoiled in severe disgust and soon left his seat to go in the back.

"Where are you going," Jesse asked.

"I'm just going to slip into the kitchen and speak to the chef," Kuzco replied.

"You'll throw us out," Joanie said.

"Well, please," Kuzco replied as he bounced his new hair. "With this disguise, I'm invinsible," he continued to walk away in the back.

Another man spotted Kuzco and checked out his backside and gave a thumbs up to Pacha. Pacha gave a weak thumbs up back and then decided to eat his pill bug.

"We've been going around in circles for who knows how long," Yzma frowned as she came with Kronk and Darla, "this is the last time we take directions from a squirrel. I should've removed Kuzco myself if I had the chance."

This caused Pacha to start coughing and laughing as he heard that while eating.

"Oh, you really have to stop beating yourself up about it," Kronk said to Yzma like a kind and supportive friend.

Then Yzma bent her fork slightly and dropped it to the table out of rage.

"Oops, I'll get you another one there, Yzma," Kronk said, but turned to Pacha, which made the man very hesitant, "do you use the fork there, pal?"

Soon Darla saw who was behind them and swiftly sat back down.

"Hey, don't I know you," Kronk asked once Pacha handed him the fork.

"I-I think not," Pacha replied hesitantly.

"Wrestled you in high school," Kronk replied as he stopped to think, "metal shop? I've had it!  Miss Narca's interpretation dance, two semesters.  I was usually in the back because of my weak ankles.  C'mon, buddy.  You have to help me here."

"We have to get Kuzco and get out of here," Jesse whispered.

"To the kitchen," Gertie whispered back.

Then they sneaked over to the kitchen as Kuzco was ranting to the chef.

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

"Kuzco, we have to go," Jesse whispered.

"Well, I'm just checking to make sure you'll take the main curse a snap," Kuzco continued.

In the dining area...

"Is there anything on this menu that doesn't swim in sauce," Yzma frowned in disgust.

"But wait, I'll ask the chef," Kronk stood up and went to the back.

"Perhaps their seafood has no sauce on it," Darla said.

"It's a simple question," Kuzco asked the chef before he got carried off, "is there or is there something edible...on this menu?"

The chef growled as he felt insulted.

"Hey, I didn't ask him for dessert yet," Kuzco cried out in grief to Pacha and Jesse.

"We don't care," Gertie said.

"Guys, someone's coming," Joanie whispered silently.

Then they all went to hide for shelter as Kronk came to see the chef.

"Hello friend, what's your policy for making special orders," Kronk grinned to the chef politely.

"OK, buster, that's it! You want a special order, then do it!  I'm quitting," the chef snapped as he eventually had enough and decided to leave. "I try and I try, but there's no respect for anyone with sight. This is it!  There's just nothing I can do about that," he stormed away, never to be seen or heard from ever again.

"It's just Kronk," Joanie sighed.

"Wait, don't go," Kronk tried to stop the chef, but the waitress had chimed in and there were hungry people waiting outside, he couldn't just let them go hungry, could he?

"Three pork combinations, extra bacon on the side, two chili cheese samples, a basket of liver and onion rings, today's catch and a steak cut in the shape of a trout," the waitress gave the orders, "do you have everything, darling?"

"Three pigs wearing trousers, a plate of hot air, a basket of Grandma's breakfast and change the bull into a gill," Kronk grinned in determination, "done."

"Alright, let's get out of here," Gertie whispered.

"What's going on," Kuzco asked.

"No time to explain, we have to go now," Patch replied.

"In a moment, I'm yet hungry," Kuzco went back in the kitchen as Yzma was storming over impatiently.

"No, Kuzco," Jesse and Patch whispered softly.

"Alright, I'll make it easy for you," Kuzco said as he walked past without Kronk knowing it, "I'll have a spinach omelette with wheat toast. You had it?"

"Can do," Kronk replied.

Soon Jesse and the others tried to get Kuzco.

"What takes so long," Yzma demanded.

"Pick up," Kronk called before ringing a bell with a plate of food.

"Kronk! What are you doing here," Yzma frowned.

"A little busy here," Kronk replied.

"Why am I not surprised," Yzma moaned.

"Your order's ready," Kronk called out with another plate of food.

Soon Darla came in to see what was going on.

"Oh, yes, while you're at it, make me the special one. And hold on to the sauce," Yzma warned Kronk, but looked down to Darla, "what would you like to eat, darling?"

"Oh, just lobster," Darla said.

"Check," Kronk replied, "I'll get it!"

Then the two walked out at first.

"You know what? At other thoughts, turn my egg omelette into a meat pie," Kuzco came back in before walking out again.

"Meat pie, check," Kronk nodded.

Jesse and the others began to try not to get seen.

"Kronk! Can I order the potatoes as a side dish," Yzma asked.

"I have to charge the complete price," Kronk replied.

"Ooh," Yzma snapped and then walked out.

Soon Jesse and the others got in position on a sign where they wouldn't be caught.

"Hi, how about a side of potatoes, my friend," Kuzco asked.

"You've had it," Kronk replied, "do you want cheese on these potatoes?"

"Thank you, Kronk," Yzma nodded, "cheddar will be fine."

"Cheddar spuds are coming up," Kronk replied.

"Spuds yes, cheese no," Kuzco declined.

"Hold the cheese," Kronk replied.

"No, I want the cheese," Yzma warned him.

"Cheese in," Kronk replied.

"Cheese me," Kuzco shook his head.

"Cheese out," Kronk replied.

"Cheese in," Yzma argued.

"C'mon, decide," Kronk complained.

"OK, that's it, on second thought" Kuzco started.

"Turn my potato into a salad," Kuzco and Yzma said together.

Soon Yzma cleaned out her right ear, thinking she had heard another voice. Darla stared out the window as she felt hungry. Yzma and Kuzco put their menus up and down, but didn't seem to notice each other, even eafter taking their drinks and staring at their menus.

"We have to get rid of Yzma somehow," Joanie said to Pacha, Jesse, Gertie and Patch.

"I have an idea," Jesse grinned.

"Yikes," Joanie muttered as the waitress walked past.

"Excuse me, miss, it's that lady's birthday, are you yet doing these," Jesse whispered to the waitress while pointing to Yzma.

"Don't worry, darling, we do it all the time," the waitress replied as she went to deliver her next order to the table.

Yzma blinked behind her menu and took a suspicious glance to Kuzco disguised as a woman.

"What is this, Yzma," Darla asked.

"There's something strange about that woman..." Yzma hummed in thought.

"Huh..." Darla hummed with her.

"One, two, three, four," a waitress counted and Yzma turned to her with a shriek with a birthday cake and a hate as she and the other workers sang to the older woman, "happy, happy birthday from all of us to you, we wish it was our birthday where we could feast as well, happy, happy birthday, and may all your dreams come true!"

Soon Jesse and the others caught Kuzco and they ran out. Darla looked around, not sure what to say or do in this situation.

"It's your birthday," Kronk chuckled as he came out of the kitchen.

"What are you doing here," Kuzco frowned as he was pulled out.

"Kuzco, we had to get out of here," Patch said.

"He's right, there are people out there looking for you," Pacha added urgently.

"What," Kuzco asked out of confusion.

"A big guy and a skinny old woman," Pacha explained.

"Wait, this woman is eerie beyond reason," Kuzco asked.

"Oh, yes," Patch nodded.

"That's Yzma and Kronk, we're saved," Kuzco grinned as he wiped off the make-up.

"My little sister was there, even though I don't know why," Jesse said.

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

"They're here to take me back to the palace..." Kuzco grinned in relief. "Thank you for your help. You've been great.  I can take it from here," he went to walk off to find Yzma, Kronk and Darla where he could eventually go back home.

"This is a bad idea," Patch said.

"They're trying to murder us," Joanie warned Kuzco, "yes, Darla would never want to hurt us, but Yzma and Kronk would certainly do it!"

"What? Their entire world revolves around me," Kuzco replied.

"Who do you think you were trying to poison," Jesse reminded him.

"Just listen to us," Gertie said to Kuzco.

"What? Oh...I understand...." Kuzco said before frowning to them all, "none of you want to take me back to the palace, you just want to keep me stranded here forever! That's why you others are human and I'm yet a foolish old llama!"

"It's not," Patch said.

"This has all been an act and I fell for it," Kuzco huffed.

"Are you just going to listen-" Joanie tried.

"No, no, you're listening to me," Kuzco frowned, "all you care about is that foolish litter!"

"Foolish hilltop," Patch growled before tackling Kuzco.

"Ow, hey, get away from me," Kuzco frowned.

"I don't care if you're the emperor or not, you deserve this," Patch snarled, "I should bite you!"

"And I allow him to do just that," Jesse said.

"You do what I want, I know I'm out of here," Pacha decided.

"You go ahead and protect your family, sir," Patch soothed before frowing to Kuzco, "and you have none!"

"That's right," Gertie said coldly.

"You want to be murdered, go ahead, just ask us not to look," Joanie said just as firmly.

Then Patch bit Kuzco on the ear before leaving with Joanie, Jesse and Gertie.

"Oww," Kuzco complained from the pain before going to Yzma and Kronk, only to overhear Yzma's plan to have him get murdered.

"We have to start looking again," Darla said.

"Oh, this whole mess is your fault," Yzma frowned to Kronk.

"Oh, what I've done," Kronk asked as he carried a slice of cake for the woman.

"If you hadn't mixed these poisons, Kuzco and perhaps these others would be dead now," Yzma hissed, "there'll be no more diversions until we track down that llama and murder him!"

"Yes," Darla said, "the selfish emperor has come."

Kuzco couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"I said I was mournful," Kronk said. "Can't we let this go? Also on your birthday," he handed the cake to Yzma as they went to get back on the trail.

"Shall we explain to him that it's not your birthday," Darla asked Yzma.

"This can take forever, darling," Yzma sighed.

"That's true," Darla said.

Then Kronk went away with them. Kuzco instantly felt bad and called out for Pacha and the others where they could make up, but he couldn't seem to find them. He felt so hopelessly lost now.

"Jesse, I'm sorry I bit Kuzco, but he drove me crazy," Patch whined.

"Hey, it's alright, Patch," Jesse soothed.

"You did the right fact," Gertie nodded in agreement.

"I yet feel bad about biting..." Patch said.

"You're a good dog, Patch, and no one can take this away from you," Jesse coaxed.

Soon Patch started to nuzzle his master.

Jesse chuckled. "That tickles!"

Soon it started to get stormy. Patch shivered from that.

"C'mon, we have to get out of this rain," Joanie said to the others.

Soon they were back where they started in the adventure.

"This looks strangely familiar..." Patch muttered.

"Oh, great, look," Gertie moaned as she pointed to a familiar llama.

"Let's leave him here in the rain," Joanie said to the others.

"I think he had learned the truth while we were gone," Gertie said.

"I hope so," Patch said as Kuzco sulked in the rain.

"Uh, Kuzco," Jesse asked.

Kuzco looked over before frowning miserably to them. "Oh, it's you...you're coming to laugh at me?"

"No, we're just a little lost and you look like you could use some company," Jesse said.

Patch pulled a face, but he had to admit that they were right.

"I'm sorry, guys, I should've listened to you all..." Kuzco sighed glumly.

"Well, you heard the truth come from the old witch," Joanie suggested.

"Yes..." Kuzco frowned.

"You're going to listen from now on," Gertie asked.

"Yes," Kuzco nodded.

"And are you being tired of being a llama," Jesse asked.

"Yes..." Kuzco sniffled.

"He's warning the truth," Patch warned the others gladly.

"Good, tomorrow, we're going to find Pacha," Gertie said.

"I'll make a refuge, is anyone hungry," Jesse replied.

Patch whined with puppy dog eyes as he had his food bowl in his mouth.

"Besides you," Jesse chuckled to his puppy.

"But I'm hungry," Patch muffled with a whine.

"You're always hungry," Jesse said, "it's been a long time since we all had dinner."

"And how do you plan on getting food," Kuzco asked.

"Do you believe in magic," Gertie asked.

"Magic," Kuzco echoed.

"Do this," Joanie warned Jesse.

Soon Jesse used his magic to make food appear.

"Can you make extra bacon," Patch shivered while Kuzco looked gobsmacked at what he was seeing, "the slender king with extra fat?"

"Of course," Jesse nodded. Soon he used his magic to make just the kind of bacon Patch requested.

"Baaaaaaconnn..." Patch smirked and then nommed down on his favorite human food.

"What in the..." Kuzco's eyes widened.

"That was magic," Gertie said.

"Real magic," Kuzco asked.

The others nodded to confirm it.

"Wow," Kuzco grinned.

"C'mon, Kuzco, dive in," Gertie encouraged as she ate a vegetarian sandwich.

Soon Kuzco started to eat some of the food. They all ate together in the warm and dry shelter Jesse made for them from his magic and soon where they all fell asleep after eating. They would get back on the road by sunrise tomorrow morning.

Meanwhile at Yzma's camp, and where everyone there were fast asleep as well and nothing seemed to awaken Kronk, except as he thought about Pacha.

"The farmer at the restaurant," Kronk gasped in despair after realizing the wrong fact before falling back asleep, "he didn't pay his check......"

After about a few moments of sleeping, Kronk realized where he saw Pacha from. "He's the farmer I saw leaving town who disappeared into the crowd with Kuzco on the back of his cart. He must've taken him back to his village, and if we find the village, and if we find him, we find Kuzco," he smirked as he put it all together. "Oh, yes, it's all coming together," he came to awaken the girls, "Yzma! Darla!"

"What," Darla and Yzma snapped while having face masks on.

"SARABI!!" Kronk yelled out in fear and disgust.

"This better be good," Yzma growled and the cucumbers burst off her frowning eyes.

"Please, let him catch a fish," Darla begged.

"I know how to find Kuzco and the others," Kronk informed as he hugged his teddy bear.

"You're doing it," Darla asked with a gulp.

"Yes, it's about that farmer in the restaurant," Kronk nodded.

"What farmer in the restaurant," Yzma asked out of suspicion.

Darla bit her nails hesitantly as Kronk explained everything the best that he could.

"Looks like we're going to the hilltop village," Yzma said.

"What are we going to do with the others with Kuzco," Kronk asked.

"Leave them alone," Darla yelped in concern as these others were her family.

"We can leave them alone and let them live, no one will believe them anyhow," Yzma said.

"Sounds like an early morning to me," Kronk said.

"Leave this to me," Yzma smirked evilly.

"You've had it," Darla said.

Then Yzma warned Darla and Kronk her plan which was warning Pacha's family a lie about being family twice-removed.

The next morning, the others were coming to a valley where a bunch of other llamas were.

"Are you sure he's here," Kuzco asked the others as they looked for Pacha.

"He should be," Patch replied, "he seems to love animals and wherever someone who loves animals has to speak, they speak to the animals, whether they can understand each other or not."

"Let's listen to his voice," Jesse said.

"I wonder if this would taste even good..." Kuzco said as he looked down to the grass and decided to give it a try since he was a llama like the others, but it didn't work for him, it tasted gross for him and he hated the taste right away.

Patch's left ear flew up until he heard a voice in the distance. "I think I hear Pacha."

"Where is he," Joanie asked.

"This way," Patch warned the others as he led the road to the village leader.

Pacha was warning some of the other llamas about his journey with Kuzco as a llama, even if they couldn't understand him or he could understand them, but they were fun to speak to, he couldn't bear warn his family right away what just happened.

"Should we interrupt his story," Gertie asked.

"Let's just wait a moment," Patch suggested.

"Yes, he seems to be expecting us," Jesse agreed.

Pacha completed his story before he hid a small grin to the others who had come to see him as if he was expecting them to show up.

"Hello, Pacha," Joanie greeted.

"Hey, Pacha," Gertie also greeted.

Pacha grinned to them.

"Hey, listen, Pacha, you know, what I said to you at the restaurant, th-that...I-I don't really...." Kuzco uttered out hesitantly.

Pacha put his hand up as he knew that Kuzco had eventually seen enough and had officially learned his lesson. Why else would the others stay with him? "Well, you sick of being a llama?"

Kuzco sniffled before he broke down weeping. "Ye-ee-ee-es!"

"Then let's hurry," Patch said.

Then they were on the road, ready to go on their journey, but they had to make a stop first.

"Alright, we'll just stop past the house to get some supplies," Pacha warned the others.

"Then we're good," Kuzco replied.

"Good," Pacha nodded.

"Hopefully there's nothing distracting in the road," Joanie said.

"Hey, Pacha, you just missed your family," a man warned them.

"Motocrossed," Pacha replied.

"We just sent them to your house," the second man informed.

"Um...what exactly did they look like," Jesse asked hesitantly.

"Look, there was a big man and a little girl with buck teeth an an older woman who...uh, how would you describe her," the second villager replied before asking his friend for help.

"Eerie beyond all reason," the first man replied with a nod.

"Yes, that's it," the second man agreed.

"Oh, dear..." Jesse gulped.

In Pacha's hut....

"Well, remember again how you relate to Pacha," Chicha asked Yzma as she poured the woman some tea.

"Why am I the great aunt of his third cousin wife's niece-in-law," Yzma chuckled hesitantly before sipping her tea, "twice deleted."

"Uh-huh..." Chicha felt dubious about that.

'Do you think she was born yesterday,' Nina thought to herself.

"No, Kronk and Darla," Yzma asked her sidekicks.

"99 monkeys jumping on the bed," Chaca called out as she played jump rope with Tipo, Kronk and Darla.

"One fell off and bumped his head," Kronk chimed in.

"We're a little busy right now," Darla warned Yzma.

"As you know, it's a disgrace I had to come this far, but as I said before, remember that Pacha isn't here," Chicha warned Yzma, "I'm sure you've come and warn him."

"Oh, well, please? That's great," Yzma replied and purposely let her cup fall on the floor, "oops, ridiculous me..."

"No, no..." Chicha forced a grin before sighing in exhaustion, "allow me to introduce you to the Company."

"Let's get it, Mum," Nina offered.

"No, no, darling, I can get it," Chicha warned her oldest daughter.

Yzma ran over to Kronk and played patty cake with him. "They're hiding something," she said, referring to Pacha's wife and oldest child, "in a nutshell, look for a house."

"Alright, but there are yet 94 monkeys," Kronk replied as he jumped with Darla while Chaca and Tipo spun the rope.

Yzma growled and then came back over to Chicha. "Well, while waiting for Pacha--"

"Pacha," Chicha corrected her.

"Oh, that's right," Yzma replied, "perhaps we can tour your lovely home."

"Why don't you come back if Pacha comes home," Chicha suggested. "I'm sure he wants to show you-" she saw her husband out the window and he signaled to her that he wanted to speak with her alone, where she took that as a cue to get away from Yzma as this seemed more reluctant, "excuse me, do you think you left something in the oven?"

Then Nina went with Chicha as she also saw her father out the window. Soon Yzma found that a bit suspicious as she didn't see Pacha.

"This is my Belgian Dutch vacation," Kronk warned the young children, "the signal switches the location."

"Kronk, it's about time," Yzma warned him.

"Alright," Kronk replied before he jumped with the children as Yzma was stuck dealing with the ropes.

In the kitchen, Pacha was warning Chicha and Nina what just happened and about the new friends he made on the road.

"Well, we have to go back to the palace to find the lab and put him back," Pacha warned Chicha and Nina.

"Hello, there," Kuzco smirked as he poked his head in.

"MURDERER," Nina yelped and hit the llama in the head with a frying pan.

"Well, Nina, that was him," Pacha said with a wince.

"Oops..." Nina winced herself.

"That must've hurt," Joanie muttered.

"What do you know," Tipo asked Yzma as she explored and he skipped rope, "I don't think you're really my great aunt. You're like my great-great-great man."

"Go, stall them as much as you can," Nina said.

"Thank you, darling, please help Mum with your brother and sister," Pacha hugged his oldest daughter.

"Emperor Kuzco, I'm very sorry to hit you," Nina cooed to the llama, who was now having a painful headache.

"You have a lovely wife," Kuzco slurred, "both are very beautiful..."

Soon Nina blushed after hearing that come from Kuzco.

"Great-great-great..." Tipo continued.

"Alright," Yzma growled in annoyance, "is this over?!"

Tipo stopped skipping and pouted. "Wow, great aunt."

"Well, where were we," Chicha asked Yzma.

"Listen, Sister, we won't leave---" Yzma frowned.

"We'll show you the house," Nina came up behind Yzma with a smirk, "of course..."

Then Pacha led the others out once he was ready to go.

"Was it a good idea to keep these three in my family," Kuzco asked.

"Darla is a good girl. She'll help them stall," Jesse said.

"You think so," Pacha asked.

"I know this, she's my sister," Jesse existed as Darla was a much better girl since she was raised by his family.

And where he was right as Darla was having a blast laughing while Yzma and Kronk were locked in a dark room without a door handle.

"What does it mean that the door is clogged," Chicha smirked, "try rocking the steering wheel!"

"There's no handle in here," Yzma hissed.

"No," Nina teased, "are you sure?"

"Alright, warn me where the llama is and where Darla is. I'll burn the house to the ground," Yzma threatened the wrong fashion.

"Well, you don't mean 'or'," Kronk corrected.

Yzma sighed in slight insanity. "Warn where the llama is and where Darla is, or you'll burn her house!"

"Well, which is this," Chaca asked, "this seems to be a pretty reluctant conjunction."

"She's right," Darla nodded in agreement.

"That's it," Yzma snapped, "Kronk, break down the door!"

"Break it down," Kronk asked before he began contemplating about the wood of the door, "are you joking? This is a hand-carved mahogany..."

"I don't care, you're an idiot," Yzma frowned to Kronk. "Don't get in the road. I'll disassemble it myself," she counted to three.

"Alright, everyone, you know what to do," Nina warned her younger siblings.

"Yes, Nina," Tipo and Chaca nodded as they went to their stations.

Then Nina stepped one road with Darla as Chicha opened the door. Soon Yzma flew out the door and ended up slipping on the wet floor as Tipo waxed it, came to Chaca as she held a can of tar and Tipo pulled out a feathery pillow and the woman was now tarred and feathered and there was a rubber glove on her head as she came into a wheelbarrow and it hit a rock and she took the place of a chicken pinata as a woman was supervising the blindfolded children in front of it and then they began to beat her as Kuzco and the others were going back to the palace.

"Mum, I'm going with Dad and the others to the palace," Nina said.

"I'm coming with," Darla added.

"Stay safe, darling," Chicha warned her oldest daughter.

"You guys take care of Mum until I get back," Nina warned Chaca and Tipo.

"You've had it, Sis," Tipo and Chaca nodded.

Nina hugged her little sister and brother and then went after the others. "C'mon, Darla, we have work to do!"

"Right," Darla nodded as she followed after the girl who was almost adult aged.

Then Kronk was going to try and rescue Yzma.

"That little traitor," Yzma hissed as she saw Darla.

"Farewell, you old hag," Darla called out to Yzma.

Yzma growled to Darla. "AFTER THEM," she commanded to Kronk.

Soon Kronk got Yzma free before going after the others. The race back to the palace and into the secret lab was now on. Oddly enough though, for the good guys, there were red dots marking their paths while there were blue triangles marking the bad guys' paths. Kronk and Yzma noticed this and wondered about it before shrugging it away as they continued after Kuzco.

"Alright, everyone hurry across the bridge, and me and Kuzco will bite off the rope," Patch suggested.

"You've had it, pal," Jesse grinned.

Patch nodded. Then they all crossed the bridge and then Patch and Kuzco bit on the ropes to make the bridge fall instantly. Alec hid behind a tree as the others were going and saw that Kronk was about to fly himself and Yzma over the bridgeless gap, but he pulled out his wand and magicked up a storm cloud to go over the two to strike them and where it did so and they fell down. Alec snickered as he did that and then went off as the others came to the palace and now a literal storm was brewing.

The others made it to the palace and were now going to the secret lab and Darla led them to the door.

"Alright, why does she even have that lever," Kuzco moaned before he smacked off the crocodile.

"I'm sorry, I meant to warn you guys about that," Darla said.

"We're going to have a serious speak about this later," Jesse said to Darla before pulling the other lever, which put them in a roller-coaster.

"Aw, c'mon, this is the best part," Darla grinned innocently.

"Well, fine, we'll speak about this later," Jesse said.

Then they went through the ride. Joanie looked rather nauseous from the ride.

"Alright, we found the potions, now we have to find the one for human transformation," Nina observed the vials.

"Let's look at the labels," Darla said.

"Let's see..." Joanie looked at some of the vials, only to find the human one was missing, "lions, tigers, bears-"

"Oh, my..." Yzma's voice said and everyone turned to her as she held out the missing vial, "looking for this?"

"What the heck," Patch asked out of surprise.

"No! It can't be," Kuzco yelped, "how did you get back here before us?!"

Yzma was about to respond, but looked puzzled herself. "Uh, how did we, Kronk?"

"Well, you had me," Kronk shrugged as he pulled down a map to show them falling down a river after the lightning strike, "by all accounts, it doesn't make sense."

"Oh, well, back to business," Yzma replied with an evil smirk to Kuzco.

"Yzma, why do you want to murder him," Jesse asked.

"Alright, I admit it," Kuzco added in anxiously, "perhaps I wasn't as nice as I should have been, but, Yzma, do you really want to murder me?"

"Just think of it as you're being let go, that your life's going in a separate direction, that your body's part of a permanent outplacement," Yzma replied with a smirk as she used his words against him to get what she wanted.

"Ooh, she just used your own words against you," Darla said.

"Not helping," Joanie said.

"She's right, it's kind of like what he said to you if you got fired," Kronk agreed.

"I know," Yzma droned to him, "it's called cruel irony; like my dependence on you."

"I can't believe this is happening," Kuzco frowned.

"Then I bet you weren't expecting THIS," Yzma replied as she lifted up her dress.

The others recoiled in slight disturbance and disgust.

"Aha," Yzma revealed she had a knife.

"Whew, it's just a dagger," Patch sighed.

"Finish them off," Yzma warned Kronk as she flung the dagger to him and he caught it in his hand.

'His shoulder angel and shoulder devil should be showing up right about now,' Darla thought to herself.

As if on cue, the shoulder devil appeared, but the shoulder angel appeared to be running late.

"Hey, you're not backing down now, are you, big guy," Kronk's devil asked.

Kronk looked to his other shoulder in confusion. "Uh, where's the other guy?"

Then the shoulder angel appeared, but appeared to be getting his hair done and was in a salon chair, reading a magazine.

"Yo," Kronk called out to him.

"I'm sorry, I'm late," Kronk's angel returned to position and put his halo in place, "what'd I miss?"

"This should be entertaining," Darla said.

"Well, Yzma just tossed me this knife and asked me to, you know, take them out," Kronk warned his shoulder angel and devil, "then this guy burst up and we waited for you, and quite honest"

Yzma looked to the others in confusion as she couldn't see Kronk's angel and devil while Pacha and Kuzco merely shrugged in response. Jesse and the others simply shrugged as well, even if most of them could see the shoulder angel and shoulder devil. Darla was of course one of them and Patch could've sworn he saw them.

"Kronk! Why did I think you could do this," Yzma scolded her henchman, "this one simple thing.  It's like I'm speaking to a monkey!"

"Woah," Kronk's shoulder angel said.

"A really, really big foolish monkey named Kronk," Yzma growled.

"Ouch," Kronk's shoulder devil winced at that.

"And do you know what else," Yzma smirked darkly, "I never liked your spinach puffs! NEVER!!"

Soon Kronk started to weep with his shoulder angel consoling him.

"That's hitting a little below the belt..." Darla winced, she may not had been personally a big fan of spinach like Jesse was, but she was polite enough to try it and sort of like it, though she didn't flat out hate it like Yzma did.

"That's it, she's going down," Kronk's shoulder devil frowned at Yzma while loading his pitchfork.

"Now, now, remember, guys," Kronk's shoulder angel soothed, "from above, the wicked shall receive their just reward."

Then they all looked up to see a chandelier hanging above Yzma. "That'll work," they all decided.

Kronk used the knife to cut the rope and make the chandelier fall on top of Yzma. With that said, he flung the foolish, flashy shield and sword to the side, incidentally messing up the artist's handiwork.

"Strange, that usually works....." Kronk pouted.

"And so does this," Yzma replied as she pulled a lever.

The lever opened up a trapdoor and it made Kronk fall in with his shoulder angel and devil. Soon Jesse snatched the vial from Yzma.

"Hey," Yzma frowned at him, "gimme that vial!"

"Thank you," Jesse smirked, "now, nothing can go wrong."

Joanie moaned as that usually cued for something bad to happen and where she was right as he tripped and knocked over the shelf of vials after incidentally letting go of the vial in his hand. "Nice work, Nancy Boy Greenwood," she called Jesse the mocking nickname due to his love of Nancy Drew.

"I'm sorry," Jesse said as he tried to find the right vial.

"Oops, clumsy me..." Yzma smirked as she bumped a shelf and made more and more potions fall out, "which one? Which one?"

The others felt lost because these vials were all unlabeled and scattered across the floor.

Then Yzma pulled a lever to sound an alarm for the royal guards. "Better hurry, I'm expecting company."

"I can handle the guards," Jesse said.

"Ooh! Ooh!  I wanna help," Patch beamed.

"Murder them," Yzma warned the guards, "they've murdered the emperor!"

"You can help by helping the others with the vials while I handle the guards," Jesse said.

"Alright..." Patch pouted as he did that.

"No, wait, I'm the emperor, it's me, Kuzco," Kuczo cried out in grief as the guards attacked, "they're not listening to me..."

"Let's just take all of the vials," Gertie said.

"Better than nothing," Joanie agreed as she pulled out a bag.

Then they all dumped the vials in the bag where they would be easier to carry and run off of the guards. However, Joanie tripped and a few of the vials slipped out and they ended up on the guards, which changed them all into different animals.

"Get them," Yzma warned the guards.

Jesse was ready to fight off the guards.

"Hey, I've been turned into a cow," one guard said to Yzma, "can I go home?"

"You're excused," Yzma warned him as he grinned and walked off, "anyone else?"

"No, we're good," the others replied.

"GET THEM," Yzma commanded.

"You'll have to get past me," Jesse said.

The guards frowned, showing they weren't afraid and Jesse frowned right back.

"Here, try this one," Pacha gave one potion to Kuzco and it turned him into a turtle.

"Uh, guys, a little help," Kuzco asked as he slowly walked.

Patch helped Kuzco onto his back and carried him where they could keep running since Kuzco was now slow.

"Oh, please be something with wings," Darla begged as she pulled out another potion and gave it to Kuzco.

Soon Kuzco was changed into a red parrot.

"Yay! We're flying," Kuzco cheered before he saw he was just a small bird, "oops..."

"Um, how about---" Gertie was about to pick the next potion.

"We're not getting anywhere with you picking the vials," Kuzco frowned to the others, "I'm picking the next one!"

"Fine by me," Pacha replied.

"Which one next," Gertie asked Kuzco.

"This one," Kuzco took the next vial and drank it, only to turn into a big whale and then he frowned to the others as he felt dumb now, "don't any of you say a word."

"What about shrieking," Nina asked.

Then the floor began to crack and it gave room as they all fell.

"Faster, drain the canals," Yzma commanded. Soon she saw all of the guards were knocked out by Jesse. Then she moaned as she saw she had to deal with this herself.

"Wait up, guys," Jesse ran over, but stopped dead in his tracks as they were all going in the water. "Ooh..." he took a deep breath in and out and then jumped into the water after them and soon where he became his merman form.

"I love swimming...." Jesse grinned to himself.

"I remember if you used to have nightmares about drowning," Joanie teased.

"That was if I was a boy," Jesse said.

"Kuzco," Gertie called out.

Kuzco came up to the surface and then cheered. "Yay, I'm a llama again," he looked to his hooves and realized that, "wait..."

Soon they all heard something open.

"What was that," Patch asked in concern.

"I think we're flooding out of the palace," Gertie replied.

They all fell down through the floor. Yzma followed after them.

"Alright, there's two potions left, it has to be one of these," Joanie pulled out two different bottles.

"But which one," Nina asked.

Yzma jumped in and took one of the potions, which shocked everyone. There was a deep and dark demonic laugh at first, but Yzma was actually turned into a cute and adorable kitten and let out a very small and silent mew.

"I'll take that," Kuzco smirked and took the human potion off of her.

"This is the one alright," Nina grinned.

"This is the one, Kuzco," Patch added, "this one will turn you back into a human."

Kuzco was about to drink the potion, only to get attacked by Yzma. Soon Jesse took Yzma off of his face. Yzma hissed and her claws spun around violently.

"She's kinda cute, I guess..." Joanie flinched from that.

Jesse didn't seem to be phased by the scratches before he let her fall to her doom. The potion seemed to be with her.

"AAUGH," Jesse yelped and then jumped down after the potion. Once he came to her, he took the potion from her and teleported back to the others with the potion.

Yzma was yet falling, but she had luckily for her, landed on a trampoline and was soon coming right back up and banged her head against a roof and as she came down, a door opened up on her, flattening her like a pancake and Kronk had come out, revealing that the trapdoor somehow led him there, Yzma growled in frustration before shouting out an enraged "STEELE!!"

This yell was so loud that it echoed across the palace. "Here you go, Kuzco," Jesse said as he gave him the vial.

"Well...see you, on the other side," Kuzco said to the others before he drank the potion and was finally a human again, hearing the frustrated lilac kitten shout his name.

'Wow, he's even cute as a human,' Nina thought to herself.

"Well, I have some work to do," Kuzco said.

"Such as," Pacha asked.

"I-I have to say very sorry to someone..." Kuzco said, "a lot of people actually...could you guys get me back in the palace and clear up that I'm not really dead?"

"Sure, Kuzco," Patch grinned.

Soon they all got into the palace. Facts were going to change for sure in the empire.

"I guess I better get back home," Nina said to her father.

"Yes, you should," Pacha said.

"Alright, I'll see you back there," Nina said.

"Thank you, darling," Pacha grinned to his oldest.

Nina grinned back and then went back to the village.

"This should do it," Alec said.

"Well, what's gonna happen to Kuzco's pool," Patch asked.

"Oh, he's yet gonna use it......as a bird bath," Alec warned the others.

"That's nice," Cynthia grinned.

"Yes, facts are gonna change around here, though technically can't be emperor until he graduates any matter, but that's a story for another day..." Alec said.

"Graduates," the others asked.

"Surely you guys have heard about Kuzco Academy..." Alec said like it was obvious, though they didn't seem to even that there was a school in the village.

"No, we haven't," Jesse said.

Alec moaned and sighed. "Oh, well, at least Kuzco is taken care of for now and he's going to move into the village."

"Yes," Patch nodded.

"Then I suppose you're all ready to go home, hey, where's Darla," Alec noticed someone was missing.

The others looked to see Darla was not there and then looked around.

Kronk was now a Junior Chipmunk camp counselor with Bucky the Squirrel as his helper and he had several children in his troop, including Darla, who would become an honorary member even if she could already speak to and understand animals.

"There she is," Gertie said, "let's go."

Darla was in a uniform and held up an acorn to finish the Junior Chipmunk pledge with the other children, including Yzma, who was yet a kitten and was forced to participate.

"Uh, Darla, it's time to go home," Jesse said.

"Aww..." Darla and the other Junior Chipmunks pouted.

"You can keep the uniform," Kronk warned her, "it looks great on you."

"Yes, it really does," Bucky agreed.

"Aw! Thank you all," Darla beamed.

"And we promise to visit you all from time to time," Patch said.

"Much appreciated, right, Yzma," Kronk grinned.

"Right..." Yzma growled as she was stuck as a kitten.

The others waved as their new friends went to leave the village as their adventure was over.
