Trouble in Nottingham

In the city of Toon Town, Sarah, who was walking with her friends, (namely her three hyena friends) sighed as she looked at the singing birds singing "Zip-da-dee-do-dah!"

Sarah: Oh, wouldn't I give just to see the countryside...maybe visit a wonderful kingdom.

Shenzi: Eh, I know how you feel. Sometimes the city can get kinda boring.

Banzai: No duh! (looks at them) Hey, I heard good things about this Nottingham place.

Sarah: (confused) Nottingham? I've never heard of that place.

Banzai: Jemadari told me. It's ruled by that King Richard guy...or was it King Arthur?

Shenzi: (narrows) That's all of England, dummy.

The female weasel then smiled as she spoke.

Sarah: That's it...I'll take a vacation...and I'm inviting all my friends.

Ed: Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Later that day, at the Toon Town airport, though her weasel friends disguised themselves, they prepared to board into the airport.

Mickey: Gosh, it was really nice of you to invite us.

He chuckled his usual laugh.

Minnie: I believe the country will really do us some good. I mean even us mice need a vacation.

The hyenas then noticed a familiar girl lion dragging the three hyenas away.

Daisy: Kiara, what's the matter?

Kiara: I'm sorry, but these three need to pay their debts. They tried eating my father again.

Donald: (slaps his forehead) Oh no!

Shenzi: (groans) Sorry, looks like you'll have to go on without us.

Ed: Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Banzai: You're right, Ed. If we can't go, who's gonna replace us for these non-refundable tickets?

They then saw Jemadari, Terra, and Kijana coming up to them as the male spoke.

Jemadari: I'll take your place.

Terra: (looks at Shenzi) Hey, sorry to hear that you're working at the House of Mouse to pay back on trying to eat Simba.

Kijana: Yeah...but don't worry, we'll take care of them.

All while Mickey hid Pluto in the suitcase unknowingly to the attendants.

Mickey: Now remember, boy. When we get to Nottingham, you must be in your best behavior.

Pluto nodded, then was placed in the suitcase. Then, the intercom was sounded.

Intercom: Flight 169 to Nottinghamshire, now boarding.

Kiara: Well, that's you guys. (to Mickey) Have a good trip and watch your back.

Goofy: Ah-hyuck. We will!

The group then left Kiara as she narrowed to Banzai, Shenzi, and Ed, who were left alone.

Kiara: Now...where were we?

All while a figure watched, then disappeared from the airport. Later, in another airport somewhere in Britain, Mickey and his friends came out of the airport, some of them yawning.

Psycho: Only got a little sleep too, huh?

Goofy: Well, at least we made it to Nottingham.

They looked as they saw the countryside, smiling.

Wheezy: This is pretty nice.

Minnie: I hope that this King Richard is very nice.

Suddenly, arrows were pointed to them as well as axes and spears. They looked shocked as they saw rhinos, elephants, a crocodile, and wolves preparing to attack while Psycho motioned Sarah.

Psycho: Stay behind and don't make eye contact to any wolves.

He growled as Pluto was barking in Mickey's bag. Then, he jumped out as he barked, then looked shocked as he saw himself and Mickey being pointed by the sharp spears.

Mickey: Whoa, easy there, Pluto.

Southern Voice: What in tarnation's 'de fuss about?

They looked at a fat gray wolf in a red tunic and hat walking up to them, narrowing.

Daisy: These your men?

Wolf: Of course they is. They is my trusty men, like Trigger an' Nutsy.

Mickey: Look, sir. We don't mean any harm. We were just about to visit Nottingham to see King Richard.

Wolf: Sorry, sonny, he ain't here. His brother, Prince John's runnin' the place.

Donald: A prince. That's not too bad. But still, we wanna know why these big palookas are pointing their weapons at us!

The fat wolf looked confused, then shrugged.

Wolf: Duck, I don't plum understand what yew just said.

Stupid: (confused) Duh, I got a question, how come ya sound like a Texan?

Jemadari: (groans) That's very rude!

Wolf: Whatcha 'tink? Me father was a Texan too.

The two vultures named Trigger and Nutsy came behind him as Trigger, the one with the helmet and crossbow, looked concerned.

Trigger: Pat, you sure we can trust outsiders?

Wolf: (glares) 'ow many times do I gotta tell ya, Trigger: Refer to me as the Sheriff of Nottingham!

He bonked the vulture's head. Then, the crocodile guard dragged Sarah out.

Sarah: Ow, let go!

Crocodile: What about this girl?

Wolf Guard: Yeah, that hottie needs to pay her "vacation" taxes.

Psycho: (glares) Hottie?!

Kijana: "Vacation" taxes?

Nutsy: Prince John's orders: any outsiders gotta pay their taxes to get in and pay more to get out of Nottingham.

Goofy: That doesn't sound like a good order at all.

Terra: You're telling me.

Greasy: Uh...do finding Senoritas count as paying taxes?

Wise Guy: (narrows) Knock it off! (to the sheriff) All right, bub, listen. We ain't go no loot, and unless ya want your brains blown off, (points his gun) move it!

Then, the wolf sheriff slashed the leader weasel's gun, making him gasp.

Wise Guy: Gah! How did he do that?!

Minnie: (glares) You're not being nice to first time visitors! We demand to speak to this Prince John at once!

Sheriff (Wolf): Sorry, but I gotta take 'is orders. Ya understand.

Then, an arrow nearly missed the wolf sheriff, hitting his hat instead.

Sheriff: What in sam hill?

They looked and saw a fox in green clothing, grinning.

Daisy: Who's that?

The sheriff wolf glared as he saw the fox jumping down.

Sheriff: Robin Hood!

Goofy: Wait a second, I though Robin Hood was just a myth.

Jemadari: (grins) He's real now!

Robin then shot an arrow through the rhino guards, making them dodge quickly as the wolves fired their arrows toward Robin.

Robin: (chuckles) It'll take more than that to capture me, Sheriff.

Kijana: (grins) He's got you there...Patty!

That did it as the fat wolf turned angrily, readying his sword to her.

Sheriff: How dare you call me Patty!

Then, Goofy, picking up an axe from a fallen rhino he knocked out, blocked the wolf's sword.

Donald: Watch it, you big palooka!

Trigger: (aiming) I got the duck, Sheriff! I got 'im!

He fired the crossbow, only for it to bounce around, making most of the fighters and Donald duck, though it hit his tail feathers.

Donald: Wak!

Sarah: (to Robin Hood) Thanks for helping us...but why are they doing this?

Robin: I'll explain on the way. Right now, get out of here, quickly! Into Sherwood Forest.

Mickey: We better hurry!

The others nodded, then just as Sarah was about to leave with them, she felt her leg being grabbed. Sure enough, she gasped as she saw the fat wolf gripping tightly on her leg.

Sarah: (struggles) Hey! Let me go, please!

Psycho, overhearing, turned and gasped.

Psycho: Sarah!!

He was about to jump back to her, but his leader grabbed him while Kijana and Pluto went to where Sarah was.

Wise Guy: It's too late! Even with our weapons, we can't take them all out!

The weasel looked teary while Kijana and Pluto barked at the vultures and the guards, who got up and surrounded them.

Kijana: No...

Sheriff: (looks at Kijana) Too bad not all o' yew got away. Time fo' yew 'te pay yur-

He then looked at Sarah, who looked frightened while Pluto, looking sadly, comforted her.

Sarah: I...I didn't even do anything wrong...I don't even know what's going on around here...

All Mickey and Psycho could do was watch sadly as both of them were dragged by Minnie and Daisy into the forest.

Mickey: Pluto...

Psycho: Sarah...

After a moment, a royal carriage pulled by two elephants, stopped by as a mountain lion in royal clothing and a crown too big for him along with a snake examined the trio prisoners.

Kijana: (narrows) Who's this jerk in lion's clothing?

She was slapped by Nutsy.

Nutsy: Careful 'der! He's Prince John, King of Nottingham.

The lion prince then turned to the snake.

Prince John: Sir Hiss, I thought you said Robin Hood would be captured near the so-called airport!

Sir Hiss: Uh...it would seem that these three have interluded...they look like outsiders, sir.

Sarah: Please, tell us...why is this all happening? What's going on? And why are there taxes for unknown reasons?

All she recieved was a slap on her face.

Prince John: Silence! You shall be spoken when spoken to!

Pluto growled in anger while Kijana narrowed.

Sir Hiss: Hmmm...perhaps these three could be bait to lure Robin Hood out of secret hiding and-

He was whacked by the lion as Prince John glared.

Prince John: Enough! (to the guards) Have these three thrown in my dungeon until I deal with them!

Sarah: (teary) Oh no...

In Sherwood Forest, in Robin Hood's secret hiding place, Robin Hood lead Mickey and his friends in as the weasel in the straightjacket was worried.

Mickey: Are you absolutely sure that none of Prince John's men know anything about this place?

Robin: No. And a good thing too. You see, Sherwood Forest in this part of the area is like a Sanctuary. (sighs) Perhaps Maid Marion would love to see this place.

Minnie: Oh, how romantic. You must really love her.

Wise Guy: I use to have a girl once...

Psycho: Don't remind me...(looks down) I just wanted to protect Sarah...I mean, I know you guys know about the Wolf Lust Formula I was almost given.

Jemadari: Yes...we know that already.

Psycho: I'm just worried that if she stays with those wolves...I don't know what I'm going to do!

Stupid: (pats his back) Duh, don't worry. I'm sure we'll get her out of there.

Robin: Yes, cheer up, old chap. We'll save her from Prince John's wrath.

Psycho: It's not Prince John I'm worried about...whoever he is.

Then, a bear and a badger friar, coming to them, looked at the scene as the weasel continued.

Psycho: It's that stupid wolf sheriff, Patty, I'm more worried about.

Wheezy: (chuckles) Patty? That's a funny name to call him.

Donald: But we need to find a way to get her out of there!

Robin Hood then noticed the bear and badger with him.

Robin: Oh, almost forgot. Everyone, these are two of my Merry Men, Little John and Friar Tuck.

Goofy: Nice to meet ya, you two.

Terra: Hmmm...a bear and a badger. Interesting.

Tuck: Well, looks like ya need some help. That no-good Phony King of England must be taken down!

Daisy: You said it, badger.

Little John then looked at them, then turned to Robin Hood.

Little John: Looks like we have visitors from Toomerica, Rob.

Robin: (nods) Yes...these people are from Toon Town.

Mickey: It's a great place to be in.

Greasy: And Rob, mind if I call you that? (grins) I heard that your Senorita gal is around Nottingham somewhere. Where is she?

Robin: Well, she's currently living with Prince John. He doesn't know that she helps me and my Merry Men out in more than one occassion.

Jemadari: Well, we need your help...two of our friends and Mickey's dog are captured. You must help us get to them.

Terra: Kijana gets annoyed when she's caught as well.

Tuck: Awww, don't you worry. Cheer up.

Little John: Yeah.

Robin Hood then looked from up above as he spoke.

Robin Hood: But it will take a while for the plan to come through. Let's just pray we make it on time.

They nodded as Psycho spoke.

Psycho: For your sake...we better hurry...and fast.

Inside a prison cell, the female weasel was shedding tears as both Kijana and Pluto comforted her.

Kijana: Aw, there, there. We're here for you.

Sarah: (sniffs) But...how can we get out? I mean we'll die if we stay here any longer.

Kijana: I think that stupid mountain lion makes these stupid rules because he's greedy.

Sarah: (confused) Prince John's a mountain lion?

As she spoke next, they had not noticed the sheriff coming in and throwing another prisoner in next to their cell.

Kijana: Now come on, it's not as bad as when you and Psycho went through the initiation.

Sarah: But still...I never should've killed that Texan wolf.

His ears perked up after locking the cell.

Sheriff: (thinking) Texan wolf? Could she mean pappy?

He carefully listened in as Sarah, bending to her knees, continued.

Sarah: I hate killing...I never should've created the DIP. All it does was bring horrible things. My parents and aunt were gone because of that...that thing.

Kijana: But you had to do something.

Sarah: I know, if that Wolf Lust Formula never got into my blood system, that wolf sheriff would still be alive.

Kijana: He was going to hurt you and kill Psycho! You think all Toons are nice? What about Maleficent? She may look nice, but she's downright evil! And I can bet that wolf was too!

He narrowed his eyes, glaring at where the two were.

Sheriff: Me pappy...murdered by a girl? Downright wrong an' how dare 'dat hyena call me pappy evil!

He prepared his sword, but then a voice called to him.

Voice: Excuse me, Sheriff.

He then turned and saw a female fox, then grinned slightly to her.

Sheriff: Oh, Maid Marion. (taking her hand) Whatcha doin' 'ere in a dirty place like 'dis?

Maid Marion: You wouldn't mind if I visit your recent prisoners, do you?

Sheriff: What fo'? She commit-ed a crime an-

Maid Marion: I doubt that just entering without realizing was a crime.

He sighed, then opened Sarah's cell.

Sheriff: Fine. Crimanely, if Prince John found out, he'd have muy head.

He closed it as Maid Marion looked at the crying Sarah.

Maid Marion: There, there. I'm sure we can work things out.

Kijana: Huh? A fox maid?

Sarah: (sniffs) Who...who are you?

Maid Marion: Maid Marion, and yours?

Kijana: Kijana, and the dog's Pluto.

Sarah: I'm Sarah...Sarah of the Toon Patrol.

The female vixen helped Sarah up as she spoke.

Maid Marion: Why are you crying, young lady?

Sarah: Because of this new rule that entering without paying would send me to prison, Kijana, Pluto, and I are seperated from our friends.

Maid Marion: (sighs) I see, but chin up. I think I might persuade my uncle to let you out.

Kijana: Wait a sec, you're a fox and he's a...(groans) nevermind!

Sarah: (confused) But how are you going to do it?

She then gave Sarah some gold secretly.

Maid Marion: This should be enough to convince him to let you out and be one of my ladies in waiting.

Kijana: Bleck! Screw that, I am not going through with that!

Sarah: But if you don't, I think that wolf and lion will behead you.

She paused for a moment, then sighed.

Kijana: Fine, I'll do it.

Pluto barked a bit, looking like he wanted to join.

Maid Marion: I see Pluto agrees with my plan.

Sarah hugged Maid Marion with a small smile on her face.

Sarah: Thank you, Maid Marion. I hope it works.

Then, they heard the cell door opening as they turned. The four looked as Pluto growled to Prince John, Sir Hiss, and the Sheriff himself.

Prince John: Ah, the newest prisoner. I see you have some gold within your hand.

Sarah: Uh...(shivers) well, I was uh...going to pay you, but my friends didn't know about it and-

Prince John: (narrows) Silence! I shall be taking my rightful tax money, if you don't mind!

He snatched the gold from her as the female looked frightened, holding onto both Pluto and Kijana. Then, the lion noticed the female vixen with them.

Prince John: And what are you doing in a place like this, Maid Marion?

Maid Marion: Well, she uh, wanted to talk about working here for a while...at least to pay off the debt on her friends not knowing about your new rules.

The lion glared at her, then to the three prisoners.

Prince John: (scoffs) Fine!

Sir Hiss: (confused) Fine?

Prince John: The two females will be the female servants of this place.

Kijana: Ugh! I hate that position...(to herself) where's Jemadari when I need him?

Prince John: As for this mutt...Sheriff, make sure you turn this one into your guard dog.

Sheriff: Uh, yes, sir.

The phony king and snake began leaving the two as Sir Hiss looked concerned.

Sir Hiss: (whispering) Sire, I don't believe that the female weasel is to be trusted, especially considering that American law about these weasels and hyenas being condemned as evil beings.

The tongue made the lion giggle, making him stop.

Prince John: (giggles) He-he-he. Hiss, stop hissing in my ear.

Sir Hiss: But I'm concerned, sire. I mean the rumored "Toon Patrol" Judge in Toomerica did kill your mother years ago-

Prince John: (whiny) Mommy...

He started sucking his thumb just as they left. When they were gone, the wolf grabbed Pluto's collar as he spoke.

Sheriff: Y'all work fo' Prince John fro' now on. Remember, if any o' yew act on treason against the crown, I'll make sure ya git punished.

Pluto barked frantically as the two exited the cell, then a moment later, the three females exited out of the cell as well.

Sarah: (quietly) Thank you, Maid Marion, but how am I going to get out of here?

Maid Marion: (quietly) There's an archery contest coming soon. It's best that you two would do as he says...for now.

Sarah: (nods/sadly) Yeah...

A bit later, Sarah and Kijana watched the maid and her lady hen-in-waiting, Lady Kluck, playing badmitton as the two brought their drinks to them.

Sarah: I didn't know you can play tennis here.

Maid Marion: It's called "Badmitton", my dear.

Suddenly, Maid Marion hit the feather ball too high. Then, Lady Kluck swung, though she missed and it went into her dress. The hen shook herself, trying to get it out.

Maid Marion: (giggles) Did you lose it?

Lady Kluck: It must be in there someplace.

Then, unknown to them, a young boy rabbit, near the ball and what looked like an arrow was about to reach it.

Sarah: (notices) Huh? A boy?

Marion, noticing the boy, came to him as she picked up the badmitton ball.

Maid Marion: Oh! Well, hello. Where did you come from?

The boy rabbit shivered a bit to the latest servants as he spoke.

Boy: Oh, please don't tell Prince John. Mama said he'll chop off my head.

Kijana: (groans) More and more reasons why I hate that lion.

Sarah: Hey, don't be afraid. You didn't do anything wrong.

The hen smiled as she also saw him.

Lady Kluck: Oh, Marian, what a bonny wee bunny.

They then noticed the hat as she continued.

Lady Kluck: Who does this young archer remind you of?

Sarah: (smiles) I think I know: Robin Hood.

Maid Marion: That's right. Only Robin Hood wears a hat like that.

The bunny smiled, showing the bow as well.

Boy: Yeah, and look at this keen Robin Hood bow.

Sarah: Wow. How long have you had it?

Boy: Some time now...by the way, I'm Skippy.

Sarah: I'm Sarah, and this hyena is Kijana...uh, you never heard of the Hyena and Weasel Law from Toomerica, have you?

Skippy (Boy): No, I haven't.

Kijana: Good, cause that law is nothing but a lie, just like the law that got me and Sarah into this mess.

Maid Marion: I see...

She took the arrow from the ground, then handed it to Skippy. Just then, Pluto's bark was heard as Sarah looked a bit worried.

Sarah: Uh-oh, that sounds like Pluto.

Skippy: Is that bad?

Kijana: He's our friend, but he's forced to be a guard dog for the sheriff and his stupid posse!

Maid Marion: Yes...terrible, isn't it?

Sarah then pushed Skippy to the gate as she spoke.

Sarah: Hurry, get out of here quickly! I don't want that wolf of a sheriff to hurt you.

He nodded, then quickly squeezed through the gate, escaping. Before he was gone, he waved goodbye, then turned away as Sarah sighed.

Sarah: So good to see a happy child.

Just as she turned, Pluto, who was chasing a squirrel, continued barking as the vultures, Trigger and Nutsy, collided to the gate. Sarah, however, was paying attention to Pluto as she chased him.

Sarah: Hey, Pluto! Come back!

Maid Marion: Wait!

The female weasel ignored her as she continued chasing Pluto through the castle. The dog stopped as he saw the graveyard, then the weasel caught up with him.

Sarah: Pluto, please stop this nonsense or we're going to be-

She then stopped as she looked at the graves of the royal family members and loyal lawmen that helped her. She looked at the graves that were engraved "King Peter Ustinov", "David Niven", "Isolde Denham", "Queen Tamara Ustinov", "Monica Evans", "Roger Miller", "Andy Devine", "George Lindsey", "Ken Curtis", "Phil Harris", "Terry-Thomas", and a last grave that looked dirty.

Sarah: Hmm...I wonder...

She wiped off the dirt that had covered the name. She looked carefully as she removed it completely. The dog looked as well, both looking at the words "Jake Buttram Date of Death, Sept 11, 1940 He was a good man to the end."

Sarah: September 11th, 1940...why does it sound...

She gasped, realizing what had occurred to her.

(Flashback)

Psycho looked at the wolf, Jake, going to Sarah.

Jake: Why you hanging around this place for? It's not safe.

Sarah: Uh, I can find my way back.

Jake: (takes her hand) You'll have to make a better excuse than that.

He then tried kissing her, making her shocked.

Sarah: But you're married and I'm a kid.

Jake: What difference does that make?

Angry, Psycho jumped toward the wolf.

Psycho: Leave her alone!!

He bit the wolf's butt, making him scream as Jake angrily tried shaking him off.

Jake: Let go of me!

He shook violently until Psycho was off of him while the evil judge grinned wickedly. Jake jumped on top of Psycho with anger in his eyes.

Jake: If you think I'm going to let you live...

He grabbed his throat, making the weasel start to choke anxiously.

Sarah: (gasps) Justin!

She then took out what looked like bottles of Acetone, Benzene, and Turpentine, then opened the bottles and with a tear in her eye, threw the contents at the wolf.

Sarah: (sadly) Forgive me.

The wolf screamed as he felt it on him. He then turned and looked at the female weasel, letting go of Psycho before he started dissolving quickly.

Jake: You...(narrows) You little wench...my son...my son shall avenge me!

With that, he melted into a puddle of ink, vanished forever.

(End Flashback)

The weasel was in tears, realizing what had happened.

Sarah: Oh god! That wolf who tried to hurt us...why did it had to bring back that awful memory?

Pluto, looking at her, licked her cheek as he nuzzled her. The female weasel sobbed for a moment, then a familiar wolf's shadow covered the two. She looked as she saw the sheriff with what looked like a flower on his hand, glancing to her.

Sheriff: Sad, ain't it. Seems like y'all got rid o' him real good, young'un.

Sarah: My name's Sarah, sir...and how did you know about-

Sheriff: Ever heard o' eavesdroppin'? Did it while placin' in another prisoner 'afore Maid Marion came 'ta yew.

Sarah: I see...but what I said was true...I didn't actually mean to kill him. I just wanted him off of my boyfriend, Psycho.

Sheriff: Psycho? Sounds like a looney name.

Sarah: It's what my brot...Judge Doom gave him, Mr. Sheriff Buttram.

The wolf placed the flower down on his father's grave before taking Pluto's collar as he spoke.

Sheriff: Friends I have call me Pat Buttram, but I'd prefer 'dat yew an' yur hyena gal refer to me as "sheriff", ya hear?

She nodded sadly.

Sarah: Yes, sir.

The dog whined as he was taken away from the weasel. The wolf then stopped for a moment, then grinned a seductive look.

Sheriff: By the way, I might persuade Prince John 'ta let me kiss ya an' let both o' us git hitched in 'de archery contest in a couple o' days. I'm hopin' 'ta win.

She looked frightened as the wolf was now out of her sight. All Sarah could do was weep and cry. Meanwhile, back at Sherwood, Psycho gasped as he felt a bad tingle.

Goofy: Huh? What's the matter?

Wise Guy: Yeah, what is it?

Psycho then turned seriously to everyone.

Psycho: Danger...

Three days later, the day of the archery tournament arrived. Many archers were arriving while Prince John, near a royal outdoor throne with Sir Hiss, chuckled wickedly.

Prince John: Hiss, this is a red-letter day. A coup d'etat, to coin the Norman phrase.

Sir Hiss: (nods) Oh, yes, indeed, sire. (rising a little) Your plan to capture Robin Hood in public is sheer genius. He-he-he.

The lion then noticed Sir Hiss "sitting" up higher than him.

Prince John: Hiss, no one sits higher than the king. (forces him down) Must I remind you, Hiss?

Sir Hiss: (shivers) Oh, oh, forgive me, sire. I-I didn't mean to-

Prince John: (ignoring) My trap is baited and set...and then, revenge! Ah, revenge!

Sir Hiss: Shh! Not so loud, sire. (nearing his hear) Remember, only you and I know, and your secret is my secret.

His tongue tickled the lion's ear once more.

Prince John: Stop! He-he-he! (rubs his ear) Stop hissing in my ear. (confused) Secret? What secret?

Sir Hiss: Why, the capture of Robin Hood, Sire.

Prince John: (angry) That insolent blackguard...Oooh! I'll show him who wears the crown!

He slammed his fist down, making the crown of his bounce a little, then land back on his head unevenly. The lion fixed the crown as his snake adviser spoke.

Sir Hiss: I share your loathing, Sire. That scurrilous scoundrel who fooled you with that silly disguise, who dared to rob you and made you look so utterly ridiculous-

Prince John: (angry) Enough!

Sir Hiss dodged the lion's fist, making the lion miss.

Prince John: Hiss, you deliberately dodged.

Sir Hiss: But, but, but...Sire, please.

Prince John: Stop sniveling and hold still.

He gulped a bit, holding still, then the lion hit the snake's head.

Sir Hiss: (dazed) Thank you, sire.

At the other side of the tournament, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy (all three wearing their Mickey & the Beanstalk outfits) looked through the bushes, then turned back to everyone behind them just as Little John and Robin Hood were finishing up the disguises on themselves.

Mickey: So, does everyone know the plan?

Psycho: Yeah. Find Sarah, Kijana, and Pluto, then get the heck out of here!

Wise Guy: (slaps him) No, you dolt! We enter the contest, then win them as of this Maid Marion of Robin's.

Stupid: Oh, goody! I love games!

The others groaned while Robin Hood spoke.

Robin: Don't worry, I'll make sure I win this contest for you, and hopefully see Maid Marion as well.

Wheezy: (coughs) Just remember, everyone. We have to make sure everyone, even Prince John, think Rob's a stork and Little John's a duke of whatever.

Stupid: You mean the uh, Duke of Chutney, Sir Reginald?

Little John: Of course. We also have to make sure we fool ol' Bushel Britches.

Psycho then saw a familiar fat wolf about to head their way.

Psycho: Speaking of that stupid wolf, here he comes now.

Minnie: Oh, good luck, Mickey.

Daisy: You too, Donald. As soon as we get them free, we're out of Nottingham.

Mickey: Yes...but what about all of-

Donald: Don't worry about it. I'm sure Robin Hood can take care of the place. They'll be okay.

Goofy: I sure hope so, Donald.

The nine sighed, then came out of the bush as they headed to the tournament. The fox-in-disguise grinned as he spoke and shook the sheriff's hand.

Robin: Sheriff? Your Honor?

Sheriff: Yeah?

Robin: Meetin' ya face-to-face is a real treat. A real treat.

Sheriff: (removes his hand) Well, now, thank you. He-he-he. Oh, excuse me. I gotta go win this tournament.

He then tripped at a unknown white jacket weasel.

Both: Oof!

They both looked at each other, then glared.

Both: You!?

Psycho: What do you want, Wolf Man?

Sheriff: Criminently, you're that weasel fro' before.

Psycho: I heard you and your wolves have my gal in there, that's why I'm entering.

Sheriff: A weasel? Shootin' an arrow? Ha-ha-ha! 'Dat's so funny, I forget how 'ta laugh.

Psycho: (angrily) Oh, you wolves are so alike: You're all weasel racist!

Greasy: Calm down, we're here for the tournament, not to pick a fight!

Wise Guy: (drags him away) Uh, Sheriff, we'll see ya in the tournament.

Mickey: We'll be there.

The wolf narrowed, then headed to where the other archers prepared themselves. All while Robin Hood sighed.

Robin: Oh, it's gonna take a miracle to help these females and dog escape.

A bit later, Minnie and Daisy, both watching the tournament with the crowd, looked on with their binoculars as Daisy spoke.

Daisy: Looks like Little John's about to approach the throne.

With Little John, he grinned as he (in his disguise) looked at Prince John.

Little John: Ah, me Lord.

He then walked up the small steps as he continued.

Little John: My esteemed royal sovereign of the realm. The head man himself. You're beautiful.

The lion grinned as he chuckled.

Prince John: He has style, eh, Hiss?

He spoke a little french to them.

Little John: He-he. You took the words right out of my mouth, P.J.

Prince John: (grins) P.J.! I like that. Do you know I do? Hiss, put it on my luggage. P.J. Ha-ha-ha. P.J., yes.

The snake, however, grew concerned as he slithered to Little John.

Sir Hiss: Hmpf! And you? Who might you be, sir?

Little John: I am Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney.

He then took the snake's hat and placed it to his mouth.

Little John: And don't stick your tongue out at me, kid.

Then, the bear took the lion's hand, about to kiss the rings off of him.

Little John: And now, Your Mightiness, allow me to lay some protocol on you.

But the lion removed his hand as he spoke.

Prince John: Oh, no. Uh, forgive me, but I lose more jewels that way than-

He then pointed to the small seat.

Prince John: Please sit down.

He sat down, grinning.

Little John: Thanks, P.J. Couldn't get a better seat than this, could you? The royal box.

He then felt something poking him below.

Little John: Oh! Hey! Hey, wait a minute! What's-

He then reached under himself and pulled out Sir Hiss, with his hat flattened.

Little John: Oh, excuse me, buster.

Sir Hiss: (insulted) Buster? You, sir, have taken my seat.

All Prince John did was laugh as he picked up a hand-held mirror.

Prince John: Ha-ha-ha. Hiss, with you around, who needs a court jester? Ha-ha-ha.

He then glanced to the snake as he continued.

Prince John: Now get out there and keep your snake eyes open for you know who.

He looked shocked, feeling rejected.

Sir Hiss: (shocked) You-you mean, I-I'm being dismissed?!

Little John then dropped the snake.

Little John: You heard His Mightiness. Move it, creepy. Get lost. Begone, long one.

The snake slithered away, looking annoyed and insulted. Unknown to him, he was passing Minnie, Daisy, Friar Tuck, and a rooster.

Sir Hiss: What cheek! "Creepy"? "Buster"? "Long one"? Who does he think he is? Who does that dopey duke think he is?

Minnie: He doesn't seem happy at all.

Daisy: No kidding. (to the rooster) Wonder what he's up to, Alan-a-Dale?

Alan-a-Dale: Hmmm...he's up to somethin'.

Tuck: Yes, and we should probably keep an eye on him just in case.

Daisy: Probably...

Minnie: Let's go.

The four cautiously followed. Then, the trumpets from the elephant trunks sounded off. Many people were watching the tournament while Minnie, Daisy, Alan-a-Dale, and Friar Tuck looked for the snake they followed. Then, Minnie noticed something.

Minnie: Look at the balloons!

For a moment, nothing happened, then Sir Hiss in the balloon blew some air upward.

Daisy: There he is.

The snake floated and used his tail as a propeller to keep an eye up above as the four chased him. With Prince John, he saw Maid Marion, Lady Kluck, Kijana, Sarah, and Pluto coming to the stands and bowed down (though Pluto and the hyena were forced to bow). They looked as they saw the archers marching behind the band.

Sarah: Look, there are rhinos, wolves, hippos, pigs, birds, turtles, rabbits, hedgehogs, echidnas, hyenas, and even some weasels participating.

Kijana: Yeah, yeah. Just wake me when this is over.

Sarah was then shocked at who was marching behind the fat wolf: Mickey and his friends.

Sarah: Mickey, Doanld, Goofy, Smarty, Stupid, Wheezy, Greasy, and Psycho! They're here!

Maid Marion: (smiles) Oh, I'm just as excited as you are and I hope your friends do win and take you home to where you belong.

She nodded.

Sarah: I hope so.

With Goofy, he and Stupid were waving wildly as the two grinned.

Goofy: Hey, everyone! Don't worry, girls, we're coming-

Then, Goofy stepped on Stupid's shoelace, then they both started to trip.

Both: Whoa!

They fell on the Toon Patrol, Sheriff, and Donald. Mickey and the disguised Robin Hood stopped, though Mickey only stopped when he noticed them on the ground.

Donald: (narrows) Goofy, you ruined my entrance!

Goofy: Oops, sorry. Ah-yuck!

Some of the crowd laughed at what happened.

Sheriff: (struggles) He your buddy?

Donald: (rolls eyes) Tell me about it.

Psycho: (struggles) Uh, Sheriff...get off of me before I bite you off!

All while Robin Hood went up to Maid Marion and gave her a flower.

Robin: Ah, Your Ladyship. (grins) Beggin' your pardon, but it's a great honor to be shootin' for the favor of a lovely lady like yourself. (looks closely) I hopes I win the kiss.

The female fox looked surprised, smiling as she looked at his eyes, then blushed lightly.

Maid Marion: Well, thank you, my thin-legged archer.

She chuckled lightly.

Maid Marion: I wish you luck, (whispers) with all my heart.

He grinned as he went back with the contestants while Psycho, finally out of the mess, shouted to Sarah.

Psycho: Sarah! I'm gonna win you back even if it kills me! (to Prince John) Your wolf man's going down!

The weasel was grabbed by his fellow weasels as he continued.

Psycho: Do you hear me?!

All while Sir Hiss looked concerned.

Sir Hiss: Hmmm...I wonder.

The friar and female duck almost grabbed him, but they missed as he flew away.

Daisy: Oh man, if Sir Hiss finds out, we'll be as good as dead.

Tuck: Don't look down, Daisy. We'll just have to keep trying harder.

She nodded as they with Alan and Minnie, continued pursuing the snake. Then, an aligator holding a pillow with a golden arrow came up to Prince John as he spoke.

Gator: Your Highness, with your royal permission, we are ready to begin.

Prince John: Proceed, captain.

He then turned to the crowd as he shouted.

Gator: The tournament of the golden arrow will now begin.

The elephants made their trunks like trumpets as the crowd cheered. The archers then prepared to shoot the targets, though Goofy's arrow was in the wrong direction.

Goofy: Okay, Mick. We're ready to win.

Donald noticed as he saw Goofy tripping and shooting at Donald's hat instead, pinning it.

Donald: (angrily) Goofy!

Goofy: Oops, sorry, Donald.

Sheriff: (groans) An' I 'tought Trigger an' Nutsy was plain nuts.

That was when the archers fired their arrows to the targets. Some of the arrows went down on the ground while others hit parts of the target, including the bulls-eye. Then some boos came after the wolf shot his arrow and almost hit the target. Then, Robin Hood and Mickey shot their arrows, Robin's hitting dead center at the target while Mickey's hitting the bullseye an inch from Robin's. That shocked the lion, making him grow concern.

Mickey: Ha-ha. It's not exactly a perfect bullseye, but it'll do.

Wheezy: (coughs) My turn.

He shot his, but only hitting the small blue area, only an inch away from the target.

Wheezy: Dang, almost.

Wise Guy: (looks at them) Just remember to stick to the-

He then noticed Psycho sneaking behind the sheriff, about to hit him with a bow.

Psycho: (to himself) Steal Sarah, will you? I'll show you-

Wise Guy: (grabs him) Psycho!

Psycho: (is grabbed) Gah!

The wolf looked at the two as Psycho struggled to free himself from his boss.

Psycho: He must die! He's the one who's gonna go over to Sarah and play pattycake with her!

A weasel in a guard outfit looked disgusted.

Weasel: Ewww, a wolf and weasel just doesn't suit well together.

Psycho: Tell that to the one who caught her.

All while Robin Hood was talking to the sheriff as the wolf prepared to shoot his arrow.

Robin: I'm gonna win that golden arrow, and then I'm gonna present meself to the lovely Maid Marian and-

He stopped, looking annoyed at the disguised fox.

Sheriff: Listen, scissorbill, if y'all shoot half as good as yew blabbermouth, you're better 'n Robin Hood.

Robin: Robin Hood he says. Wowee!

He hit the wolf's back, then Robin was preparing to shoot one of his own, which was made of wood.

Robin: I'm tiptop, all right, but I'm not as good as he is.

He then shot the arrow and then it hit the bulls-eye dead on, shocking the wolf. The snake, meanwhile, watched carefully, floating closer to where Robin Hood and the others were. All while Jemadari, coming away from the snack stand, glared at the snake.

Jemadari: He's up to something...

Back with Little John, he looked amused while Prince John grew more and more concerned.

Little John: Ha-ha-ha! That kid's got class, ain't he, PJ?

He then grinned a suspicious smile as he nodded.

Prince John: Indeed he has, Reggie. He-he-he. (claps his hands) Bravo. Uh, bravo. Yes.

Sarah looked a little worried when he made that smile.

Sarah: I don't like this at all, Pluto.

The dog whined a little, also looking worried. Back with the others, Greasy prepared to shoot his first target, but then saw Goofy trying to reach for an arrow, which was empty from Goofy's sack.

Greasy: Huh?

Goofy: Don't worry, I got it.

He then grabbed Donald unknowningly, then shot him to the target. Donald screamed as he hit the bulls-eye. The crowd laughed while Donald sighed.

Donald: This is humiliating.

The vultures then went up to Donald, then pulled him out of the target.

Donald: WAAAAK! (to Goofy) I'll show you!

Trigger: Uh, calm down, but uh...you and this Goofy guy are out of arrows, plus he used you instead.

Nutsy: That means you're both disqualified.

Donald: (angrily) WHAT!? WAAAAAK!

Mickey quickly grabbed Donald before he could punch Trigger, but he only managed to tap on the crossbow called Ol' Betsy. The arrow was then sent straight to Donald, who was dodging the arrow continously.

Donald: Wak!

When it hit the ground, the mouse looked at his duck friend.

Mickey: Donald, are you all right?

Donald: (narrows) I will be after I rip out their feathers!

Vultures: (confused) What did he say?

Mickey: You probably don't want to know.

All while Robin and the weasels were talking to the sheriff.

Robin: Oh, um, by the way, I hear you're havin' a bit of trouble gettin' your hands on that Robin Hood.

Greasy: (shoots his arrow) Si, I heard he's very hard on you.

He looked at the weasels and the disguised fox as he spoke.

Sheriff: He's scared o' me, 'dat's what he is.

As he spoke next, the snake looked underneath the disguised fox's coat as the wolf continued.

Sheriff: Yew notice he didn't show up 'ere today. Huh! I could spot 'im through 'dem phony disguises.

Psycho: Keep dreaming...Patty was it?

Sheriff: (glares) 'Da name's Pat Buttram 'ta yew, but I's prefer 'ta be called Sheriff, ya idgit.

Psycho: (narrows) I know you are, but what am I?

The other Toon Patrol members just groaned while Sir Hiss grinned, heading away from the group.

Sir Hiss: It's him! It's Robin Hood!

He then laughed as he floated away, trying to head to where Prince John was.

Sir Hiss: I just can't wait till I tell His Majesty. He-he-he.

All while unknown to him, Jemadari, after telling Minnie's group where Sir Hiss was, saw the snake. The five prepared the arrow on the sitar, then fired toward him.

Daisy: This better work.

The arrow hit the balloon dead on. Sir Hiss noticed the balloon was gone, then gasped. He then fell down, screaming. He was then caught by Friar Tuck and Minnie.

Minnie: Gotcha.

The badger and female mouse then placed him inside a barrel quickly.

Sir Hiss: (narrows) Unhand me you-

The hyena hit him while Daisy placed the cork on the barrel, which was labeled "ALE".

Jemadari: That should hold you for a while.

They then left quickly, leaving the snake inside the barrel, pleading.

Sir Hiss: Please! Please! I don't drink!

A bit later, Terra came back to Minnie's group as she handed out the snacks.

Terra: Okay, what did I miss?

Minnie: You just missed us placing Sir Hiss in a barrel of ale. Also, Goofy and Donald are now out of the tournament.

Jemadari: That's not good. But at least Sir Hiss is out of the way.

Friar Tuck: He-he. He won't be out of there for a while.

Daisy: Yeah, unless someone discovers him missing.

They paused for a moment, then smiled and shook their heads.

All: Nah.

Just then, they saw the gator removing the final arrows as the qualified contestants were lined up.

Gator: Attention, everyone! The final contestants are the honorable Sheriff of Nottingham...

He gladly bowed, but the crowd booed him as did Psycho.

Psycho: Boo! You stink!

He frowned, glaring at the insane-looking weasel.

Gator: The second is the spindle-legged stork from Devonshire.

Robin Hood waved to the crowd as they cheered.

Gator: And lastly...

Mickey: This is it, guys. It's time one of us takes back Pluto, Sarah, and Kijana.

Gator: Justin Weaseling of Toon Town.

Psycho: (angrily) My name's Psycho, you stupid gator!

Wise Guy: Huh? Psycho, as a contestant?

Wheezy: (coughs) Probably cheated to get into the finals.

All while the lion with the crown grinned, looking at Maid Marion.

Prince John: My dear, I suspect you favor the gangly youth, hmm?

Maid Marion: (grins) Uh, why yes, sire. Well, at least he amuses me.

Prince John: He-he-he. Coincidently, my dear young lady, he amuses me too. He-he-he.

Kijana: (narrows) Hmmm...

Then, the gator announced as the drums rolled by the hippos playing them.

Gator: For the final shoot-out, move the target back 10 paces.

All while the wolf was looking at Nutsy, near a custom made target.

Sheriff: Yew heard 'im, Nutsy. Git goin'! (shoves him) Move it, yew birdbrain!

He quickly went inside the target, looking through the eye hole as the wolf quietly talked to him.

Sheriff: (to Nutsy) An' remember what yur s'pose 'ta do.

Nutsy: (backing away) Yes, sir, Sheriff, sir.

With that, he went back 10 paces, far enough for the final three contestants.

Psycho: (shoves the Sheriff) Me first! (glares) I'm not letting you win, Wolf Man.

Sheriff: (grins) Good luck. Y'all gonna need it, Justin.

Psycho: Psycho, Psycho, (anger mark) PSYCHO!

Robin: Uh, why don't you let the Sheriff shoot first, young weasel.

The weasel growled toward the wolf, then sighed.

Psycho: All right, fine.

He crossed his arms and turned away, not watching him. Then, the wolf shot his arrow, and Nutsy jumped for the arrow, making it hit the target. The crowd noticed and booed as did Psycho, who actually saw what happened.

Psycho: Gah! What the-!? (glares) That's cheating, you stupid wolf!

Sheriff: Just remember 'dat I'm gonna win 'dis 'ere tournament.

Psycho: (narrows) Not if I have anything to say for it.

He shot his, but Nutsy dodged the arrow, making it hit the tree instead.

Psycho: Gah! (angrily) You...you...

Mickey: Now Psycho, calm down.

Psycho: This is just as stupid as Robin dressing like a stor-

The Toon Patrol quickly covered his mouth as the wolf looked concerned.

Sheriff: Did 'dat weasel say somethin'?

Greasy: Uh, no, Senor. He didn't say anything.

Stupid: Duh yeah, he didn't say stork.

Wise Guy: (bops him) Quiet.

Unfortunately, Robin and the others didn't hear what they were saying as the wolf grinned.

Sheriff: (thinking) Robin Hood's 'dat 'dere stork, huh? Well...maybe I should prove it...

He then turned slyly to the disguised fox as he patted his belly and spoke.

Sheriff: He-he. Well, 'dat shot wins 'de golden arrow, 'da kiss, da female weasel girl...

As Robin prepared to shoot, the wolf prepared to lean his bow down to the bottom of his bow.

Sheriff: ...an' 'da whole caboodle. He-he-he.

He then tapped the bow, making Robin's bow lean upward and forcing him to shoot the arrow up.

Weasels: Rob!

The fox quickly shot another arrow, making the second arrow hit the first one. And in incredible speed, it went zooming to the target Nutsy was getting out of. He gasped and ran just as Robin's arrow pierced through the Sheriff's arrow, destroying it and hitting the target. The crowd then cheered as Goofy smiled.

Goofy: He did it, guys!

Tuck: Yea! He did it, he did it, he did it!

Robin bowed to the crowd as Mickey and his group came to Robin, shaking his hand.

Mickey: Way to go.

Donald: Nice work on beating that no-good sheriff.

All while the gray weasel looked at the wolf, still smirking.

Wheezy: What are you smiling about?

Sheriff: Oh, nothin'.

That was when Prince John motioned the gator and he nodded before whispering to one of the guards. The yellow dog looked suspicious while Robin with his friends marched right to the private box where Maid Marion and Sarah smiled happily.

Sarah: At last...we'll be free.

The guards, including some weasel guards that competed, marched right behind them. The prince then began his speech as Robin and Psycho looked at their lovers' eyes.

Prince John: Archer, I commend you, and because of your superior skill, you shall get what is coming to you. Our royal congratulations.

Sarah: (smiles) At last...I'll be going home.

Robin: (shaking the prince's hand) Oh, thank you kindly, Your Highness. Meetin' you face-to-face, Your High and Mighty, is a real treat.

The lion then removed his paws from Robin's grip.

Prince John: Release the royal fingers! Ack!

He adjusted his crown, then took a sword as Robin kneeled and looked like he was about to be knighted.

Prince John: And now I name you the winner, or, more appropriately...he-he-he.

Kijana: (gasps) Oh crud! Guys, it's a trap!

It was too late as the lion placed in his sword under Robin's custom beak rope and coat. He then ripped them both, making Robin come out of his disguise.

Prince John: The losers!

Wise Guy: Stupid...you and your big mouth!

Stupid: What?

Prince John: (to the guards) Seize them all...

He then tossed Kijana and Pluto to Trigger and Nutsy.

Prince John: And take these two as well. They bore me.

Both: Yes, sir.

The group then fought as Goofy snuck away quickly. Then, Goofy bumped into what looked like a rhino executioner, making him hit his head and be knocked out.

Goofy: Oops, sorry.

He then looked at the cloths and ax and had an idea. All while the others struggled as the guards and Sheriff tied the Toon Patrol, Jemadari, Terra, Kijana, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Robin, and Pluto down.

Daisy: Hey, let us go!

Prince John: Nonsense. (to Robin Hood) I sentence you to sudden, instant and even immediate death!

All Maid Marion and Sarah could do was shed a tear each.

Maid Marion: (gasps) Oh no.

Sarah: Please, no.

The female fox then turned to the lion.

Maid Marion: Please...please, sire. I beg of you to spare his life. Please have mercy.

He grew a little concerned as he spoke.

Prince John: My dear emotional lady, why should I?

Sarah: Because she loves Robin Hood...and I love Psycho.

Prince John: (shocked) "Love him"?

He then looked at Robin Hood, completely in rope and chains.

Prince John: And do the prisoners return your love?

The insane-looking weasel looked sadly at Sarah as Robin Hood looked at Maid Marion and spoke.

Robin: Marian, my darling, I love you more than life itself.

Psycho: And Sarah...I love you from the moment we met...I just don't want anything bad happening to you. Especially with the Wolf Lust Formula in you and you being the Sheriff's prisoner and all...

Terra: (notices) Wait, where are Little John and Goofy?

All while the lion chuckled cruelly.

Prince John: Ah, young love. Your pleas have not fallen upon a heart of stone.

He patted his heart as he said that, then narrowed and frowned as he pointed accusingly to the prisoners.

Prince John: But traitors to the Crown must die!

That was when Robin Hood glared and spoke.

Robin: Traitors to the Crown!? That crown belongs to King Richard.

Wise Guy: Besides, with all these stupid rules, you're not really a king!

Wheezy: You're just an impostor!

Greasy: And you look ugly even with that stupid crown!

Psycho: In other words, long live King Richard!

Mickey: Yeah!

Mickey's Group: Long live King Richard!

Crowd: Long live King Richard!

Furious, the mountain lion began to throw a temper tantrum, pouting as he shouted.

Prince John: Enough! I am king! King! King!

Donald: (rolls eyes) What a baby. Ha-ha-ha!

Prince John: (angrily) Ah! Off with their heads!

The drums rolled as Minnie spoke to one of the weasel guards, who was picking his teeth.

Minnie: We demand justice. This isn't right. We're not even from around here.

Weasel Guard: Ah, shut up.

They then turned as they saw a hooded figure with a huge ax coming as Nutsy grinned.

Nutsy: Looks like your executioner's here.

Donald then prayed while the figure came. All Sarah and Maid Marion could do was cry as they shed tears.

Sarah: No...

Then, the executioner slipped on a banana peel someone was eating earlier. Mickey could tell from the executioner's clumsiness that he wasn't as he seemed.

Mickey: Hmmm...Goofy?

Goofy: Whoa!

He slipped and dropped the ax, nearly clobbering Nutsy with it.

Nutsy: (angrily) Hey, watch it, will you? (concerned) And where's our regular executioner?

Goofy: Sorry, but I'm afraid he's out for a while.

He prepared to go to the ax, but then, they all heard Prince John screaming.

Prince John: Stop!

They looked at him as Prince John, looking like he was choking from the turtleneck being pulled, looked frightened.

Prince John: Executioner, stop! Hold your ax!

Goofy: Okay, but it's stuck to the ground.

The clumsy friend of Mickey's in disguise then pulled hard, but the handle for the ax broke, hitting Nutsy on the head. Goofy looked at the broken ax, then turned to Nutsy.

Goofy: You think I should get this fixed or something?

Nutsy: (dizzy) Thank you.

He gave Goofy a kiss on the cheek.

Nutsy: Check please.

He then flopped to the floor as Goofy lifted the mask up.

Goofy: (confused) Gawrsh.

Mickey: (surprised) Goofy!

All while Little John, the one pinning Prince John secretly with a dagger, glared.

Little John: Okay, big shot. Now tell them to untie my buddy, or I'll-

The lion grunted.

Prince John: Sheriff, release my buddy-(grunts) I mean release the prisoners!

The wolf looked shocked at what he said.

Sheriff: Untie the prisoners?

Then, the hen glared at the wolf.

Lady Kluck: You heard what he said, Bushel Britches.

Prince John: (struggles) Sheriff, I make the rules, and since I am the head man-

He was pulled once more by the bear as the lion glanced back.

Prince John: (to Little John) Not so hard, you mean thing.

He felt the dagger coming closer to him, making the lion panic.

Prince John: Let them go! For heaven sakes, let them all go!

Sarah and Maid Marion looked happily as the hen shouted.

Lady Kluck: Yee-hee! Love conquers all!

With that, Goofy untied his friends as the crowd cheered. Robin Hood then saw Maid Marion running to him in his arms.

Robin: I owe my life to you, my darling.

Maid Marion: (hugs him) I couldn't have lived without you, Robin.

He hugged back, smiling lightly as Psycho saw Sarah hugging him.

Sarah: Psycho, I knew you guys would set me free.

Psycho: We had to, Sarah.

He then looked at the wolf.

Psycho: Uh, no hard feelings, right, Wolf Man?

Sheriff: Uh, I guess not.

He prepared to shake the weasel's hand, but all that happened to him was be pulled to him and be laughed at.

Psycho: HA-HA-HA-HA! You lost! In your face!

He pulled out a bullhorn and blew it close to his ear.

Sheriff: Gah!

The other weasels glared at him.

Psycho: What? This is what I planned to do when Patty lost.

Sheriff: (glares) It's Pat!

He then looked at the struggling lion prince as he grew suspicious.

Sheriff: 'Dere's somethin' funny goin' on 'round 'ere.

He then went to the back of the private box as he saw Little John pinning the lion.

Little John: Now, P.J., tell my pal to kiss Maid Marian, or I've just found a new pincushion.

The wolf grew angry as he drew out his sword and prepared to slice him.

Sheriff: Why yew!

The bear, seeing him, ducked quickly, then punched the wolf off of him. With the dagger gone, the lion's attitude changed as he shouted.

Prince John: Kill them!

The others noticed as Prince John pointed accusingly to Mickey and his group, which now consisted of Maid Marion and Sarah.

Prince John: Don't just stand there, kill them all!

With that, Mickey and his group started fighting the guards as Stupid hit some of them with his club.

Stupid: Duh, I got 'em, boss!

Wise Guy: Good, now do something about the ones after me!

Mickey and Robin Hood clanged their swords toward the guards with blades. Then, Prince John prepared to strike the two, but the fox quickly saw it and clanged the lion's blade away, making him panic.

Prince John: Don't hurt me! No, no! Don't hurt me! Help! Help!

He backed away, tripping out of the private box. He quickly crawled behind a barrel of ale, then pulled his tail out of the way as he shouted and peeked.

Prince John: Kill them! Kill them!

Then, the hen quickly grabbed the golden arrow, motioning the female fox.

Lady Kluck: Run for it, lassie! This is no place for a lady!

She then pinned the arrow on a guard's rear, making him scream. Then, the sheriff tried attacking her, but she flipped him down.

Lady Kluck: Take that, you scoundrel.

The insane-looking weasel glared at the sheriff.

Psycho: That's what you get for kidnapping my girlfriend and a member of the Toon Patrol, you jerk!

With that, Greasy prepared to take out the smoke bombs, but he dropped them after bumping between a weasel guard and Donald.

Greasy: Gah!

They fell to the floor as the battle continued.

Greasy: Oh crud!

With Maid Marion, she was running from the guards with spears that were chasing her.

Maid Marion: Help, Robin. Help!

Then, Robin swung in and swooped her up to the top of the private box just as Mickey and Minnie jumped up to the private box top with them.

Mickey: Looks like now's the time to pop the question, Robin.

He nodded and turned to the vixen.

Robin: Marion, my love, will you marry me when this is all over?

Maid Marion: (blushes) Oh, darling, I thought you'd never ask me.

The two males fought the wolf and weasels trying to hit them, but the cloth ripped and they fell onto the private box chairs.

Maid Marion: (giggles) But you could have chosen a more romantic setting.

The mice and fox continued to fight as the fox spoke.

Robin: And for our honeymoon, London-

Maid Marion: Yes.

Robin: Normandy! Sunny Spain!

Maid Marion: Oh, yes. Why not.

They shoved the throne onto the guards, then the guards gasped as they were crushed by the chair. With that, the foxes and mice quickly headed out.

Minnie: Let's go.

With Little John, he was fighting a few guards as they went inside the tent.

Little John: Ooh, what a main event this is.

They went inside as he laughed. Then, Lady Kluck joined in, not knowing that Little John was in there and he was forced out. But he grinned, heading in the tent full of guards again.

Little John: What a beautiful brawl.

With that, unknown to him, Lady Kluck was shoved out, then she glared as she pierced a guard's rump with the arrow.

Guard: Ahhh!

The whole tent reacted as the tent with the guards ran. Then, Little John, without the hat, monicle, and mustache, peeked out of the new hole that was made, then he looked shocked.

Little John: Hey! Who's drivin' this flyin' umbrella?

Many of the citizens were running while the good guys were still fighting.

Psycho: Grease, where's that smoke bomb of yours?

Kijana: Not yet, I want to kill these guys!

Greasy: Hey, it's hard enough trying to find one of these while fighting!

Robin: (to Maid Marion) We'll have six children.

As she spoke next, at the pie stand, Trigger prepared his crossbow with arrow toward Robin.

Maid Marion: Six? Oh, a dozen at least. Ha-ha-ha.

He fired, but the gray weasel, noticing, used a plate to block the arrow, letting the arrow head to Trigger instead. He ducked quickly as the hyenas used three pies to throw at him.

Terra: Hey, vulture!

Jemadari: Take that!

He was now covered in three different pies. They then felt a rumble as Greasy spoke.

Greasy: Found it!

Wise Guy: (notices) Look out!

They quickly got out of the way as the tent with Little John collided, making the vulture now supplied with a few pies throw them at Little John's face. He now was covered in pie as the gator tried calming everyone down.

Gator: Attention, everyone-

But then, the tent ran him over, leaving him and Trigger on the ground. With the head weasel guard, he helped the sheriff up.

Head Weasel Guard: Are you all right, sir?

Sheriff: Crimanetly, that dog gone hen is worse trouble 'dan Psycho.

The weasel gasped and screamed as the tent came toward their direction.

Head Weasel Guard: Ahhh! Look out!

He got out of the way, but the wolf didn't as he ran while the tent followed all around the area. The tent scooped up the throne that was on the ground and it scooped up the sheriff. The two that could see looked at each other in panic, then at the stone tower as Little John got off.

Little John: I'm out of here!

The elephants on the tower panicked, but then saw the tent pass by, then sighed. They then gasped as they saw the tent colliding with the tower. The wolf was lost for words as the tower collapsed and fell, knocking many of the guards out. One of the elephants then tried sounding the alarm with the trunk, but Psycho with Lady Kluck grabbed it, making him stop.

Prince John: (angrily) Stop the girl! And stop that pathetic weasel!

Unknown to him, a familiar boy rabbit shot his arrow to Prince John's rear, which hit it.

Prince John: Oooh!

Then, Psycho jumped on Prince John as Lady Kluck bopped the lion with the golden arrow.

Lady Kluck: Take that, you scurvy knave!

The two chuckled as they ran.

Prince John: Seize the fat one!

They then noticed the remaining rhino guards coming to them as they narrowed.

Psycho: You know anything about football?

Lady Kluck: Of course.

Psycho: (grins) Then it's time to make them fumble!

They then dodged and shoved some of the rhinos. The duo then dodged more of their attacks while Psycho banged some of them with his mallet. The crowd, watching, cheered as the two smiled.

Lady Kluck: Yahoo!

Then, Lady Kluck's undergarments were pulled, making her spring as one of the rhinos tried catching her, only to hit a tree trunk. The crowd cheered once more as Psycho caught the hen and placed her down, splitting from her to his friends.

Lady Kluck: Long live King Richard! Yee-hoo!

Then, as the archers prepared to shoot, Robin, Maid Marion, and Little John with Friar Tuck pulled her out of the way. The arrows missed her as Mickey and the others gathered around.

Goofy: Well, they're safe, but what about us?

Greasy: I got us covered.

With that, the green suited weasel threw the smoke bomb down, then when it cleared, Mickey's group was gone.

Wolf Guard: He's gone!

Then, the head weasel guard from before noticed something on the ground and picked it up.

Head Weasel Guard: Hmmm...round trip tickets from Nottingham to Toon Town? (grins) Perhaps Prince John could use these...

And speaking of Prince John, back with him, he glared as he shouted for his sidekick.

Prince John: Hiss! You're never around when I need you!

He then heard a familiar voice from within the ale barrel.

Sir Hiss' Voice: Coming. Coming. He-he-he.

The lion grew concerned, placing his ear toward the barrel.

Sir Hiss' Voice: (singing) For I'm a jolly good fellow For I'm a jolly good-

He frowned, then opened the cork. Then, out came a familiar, yet drunk-looking snake as he smiled.

Sir Hiss: Oh! Oh, there you are, old boy! P.J., you won't believe this, but the stork is really Robin Hood.

Prince John: (narrows) Robin Hood...

He nodded slightly, chuckling, then Prince John screamed with anger and quickly tied up Sir Hiss around the pole.

Prince John: Get out of that if you can.

That evening, at dusk, Mickey with his friends were talking to Maid Marion and Robin Hood as they neared the airport.

Mickey: Are you sure there isn't anymore we can do, Robin?

Robin: You've done all you can, plus you got your dog back, Mickey.

The dog barked in delight.

Goofy: We couldn't have gotten them out without you.

Maid Marion: But if it weren't for you, Goofy, then we would've had all our heads sliced.

They laughed a little for a moment. Then, a voice called to them.

Voice: Mickey, I need to speak to you.

They looked as they saw a blue hornbill bird, looking exhausted as Terra instantly recognized him.

Terra: Zazu?

Jemadari: What's he doing here?

Daisy then picked him up as she spoke.

Daisy: Zazu, what are you doing here?

Zazu: I came to find you because...the lady, Kiara, she's missing.

Minnie: (shocked) Oh my goodness. Missing?

Zazu: Two days ago was when it happened. When we got worried, Simba ordered me to find you and tell you about Kiara being missing.

Donald: That's no good!

Kijana: Geez, now we're gonna have to get a vacation from a vacation.

Wheezy: You better tell Simba that we're on our way.

Wise Guy: I have a better idea. I say we bring Zazu and tell Simba ourselves.

Stupid: Duh, okay. Just let me get our-

He then noticed something wrong.

Stupid: Duh, uh-oh. Boss, I think I lost our tickets.

The pink cladded leader whacked him.

Wise Guy: You were suppose to secure my, your, Wheezy, Greasy, and Psycho's tickets as well as the extra one!

Stupid: Duh, I didn't mean it, boss.

Maid Marion: You all don't have time. You have to get on your plane now.

Sarah: (worried) But what about you and Robin Hood?

Robin: For a while, she'll stay with me in my private sanctum, then I'll take her to London and hide her out where Prince Nicolas is training.

Mickey: (confused) Prince Nicolas?

Robin: The funny thing is, he looks like you, Mickey.

Mickey: Aw, gash. Ha-ha. We better be going. Good luck in defeating Prince John.

Psycho: Yeah, see ya. And don't let those wolves find your hideout.

Greasy: Adios, amigos.

With that, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Daisy, Pluto, Zazu, the hyenas, and six weasels entered the plane, though the six went sneaking inside. With that, Robin and Maid Marion went back to the forest. When the plane was about to start, a voice shouted.

Voice: Stop the plane!

It was too late as Prince John with his men arrived too late and the plane Mickey and his friends took off. The lion growled in anger.

Prince John: Those idiots! Why can't anything go right for me?

The snake, trying to get rid of his headache due to the ale, looked at him.

Sir Hiss: I tried to tell, but you never listen to me. Still, we best hope to catch the next flight to that place they're going, thanks to one of our guards finding the ticket-

He then gasped as he saw the lion preparing to whack him with a handheld mirror.

Sir Hiss: Ahh! Seven years bad-

He then smashed it on the snake, making him look humiliated.

Sir Hiss: -luck, that's what it is. Besides, you broke your mother's other mirror.

He gasped and shrieked.

Prince John: Ahhhh! Mommy!

With that, he proceeded to suck his thumb, but then pulled it out, looking at his dirty thumb.

Prince John: I got a dirty thumb.

Another adventure had come to a close, but that adventure would only lead to another adventure back in Mickey's home, Toon Town, though things may not be as they seem. And little would they know would that there would be more Toons of different kinds, but that's another tale to be told.

The End
Fifth part of my Mickey & Friends series: (Prequel to When Toons Meet Anime co-written by me & Clint Hoyt) When the Toon Patrol along with Mickey and his friends head to Nottingham, they find that things were not as they seemed, leading to three of them caught by Prince John and the heroes teaming up with Robin Hood.
