== Bonfire/Quasi breaks free and saves Esmeralda/Final Battle ==

''(We cut to Bowser's castle as Kamek enters the throne room.)''

*'''Kamek''': Sire?
*'''Bowser''': What is it, Kamek?
*'''Kamek''': Sorry to disturb you at this hour, but I have some very important news to tell you.
*'''Bowser''': Hmmm... Very well. Report whatever you what to tell me. I'm ever so curious.
*'''Kamek''': Well, sir, the good news is our troops managed to find the Court of Miracles, arrested the entire Romani population, and captured our enemies as you had planned. However, there is also some bad news as well.
*'''Bowser''': Oh?
*'''Kamek''': Well, um... (clears throat) The bad news is..., uh,... Frollo defected.
*'''Bowser''': (enraged) What?!
*'''Kamek''': He can no longer be trusted as a reliable ally to our organization. He's too unstable: mentally and physically. He declares that he will not be following your orders anymore.
*'''Bowser''': (digs his claws into the arms of his throne) Well,... why didn't anybody poison him? Hmm? Slit his throat? Incapacitate him in any way?!
*'''Kamek''': Too many guards, sir. Frollo ordered his men to tie them up and arrested them. He even threatened them with a death sentence by burning them to a stake alongside our enemies.
*'''Bowser''': What?! Sentencing my troops to death behind my back?! (growls in anger and blasts a hole in the wall) How dare he betrays me!! I'm gonna tear him limb from limb! Where is he now?!
*'''Kamek''': He's at Notre Dame, preparing to burn Esmerelda to stake, sire.
*'''Bowser''': (growls) Figures. Alright, ready the ships! We're going to Paris! It's time I'd settle a little score with that no-good, back-stabbing traitor!

''(We go back to Notre Dame where Frollo is preparing to execute Esmerelda by burning her at stake.)''

*'''Frollo''': The prisoner, Esmerelda, has been found guilty of the crime of witchcraft. The sentence: death!
*'''Crowd''': (protesting) Release her! Let her go! She's done nothing wrong! She is innocent!

''(As the angry mob continues to protest Frollo's death sentence against Esmerelda, one man is throwing bundles of straw to the stake she is tied to the ensure her execution. The other, a strong, buff man, holds a torch, ready for Frollo to burn her. Phoebus, Ash, his team, some of Frollo's former minions, and all the gypsies are all under heavy guard by Frollo's soldiers and locked up in separate cages. Phoebus struggled to get himself out of his cage. Littlefoot's grandparents are being held spear point by Frollo's guards, threatening to spear them if they try to intervene. The Archdeacon came out of the church and did not like where this event was going. But as he walks out to try to stop Frollo from executing Esmerelda, two guards blocked his path.)''

-

*'''Simba''': What are you guys in for?
*'''Banzai''': Oh, wouldn't you know it? Frollo betrayed us and locked us away with you so that he could kill all of us.
*'''Jessie''': The nerve of that stupid judge to use us in his stupid plans like that! I don't even know why we ever trusted him!
*'''Shenzi''': He's ten-times worse than Scar!
*'''Arthur''': All dat hard work we did for him... for nothin'!
*'''James''': And now, we're all waiting in line to die along with the twerps! Oh, if only Bowser was here.
*'''Jessie''': (groans) I can't believe we're saying this, but Meowth, we're really sorry. We should've listened to you about Frollo.
*'''James''': 

-

*'''Misty''': I guess bad guys can have their feelings hurt too.
*'''Brock''': Hey, maybe Team Rocket and their friends have a heart after all.

-

*'''Frollo''': The time has come, gypsy. You stand upon the brink of the abyss…yet even now it is not too late. I can save from the flames of this world and the next. Choose me…or the fire.

''(Esmerelda, disgusted by Frollo's lust for her, angrily responds by spitting in his face.)''

*'''Crowd''': (gasps)

''(Frollo got tense but went along with Esmerelda's choice.)''

*'''Frollo''': The gypsy, Esmeralda, has refused to recant. This evil witch has put the soul of every citizen of Paris in mortal danger…

-

*'''Hugo''': Come on, Quasi. Snap out of it!
*'''Victor''': Your friends are down there!
*'''Quasimodo''': It's all my fault.
*'''Laverne''': You gotta break these chains!
*'''Quasimodo''': I can't. I tried. What difference would it make?
*'''Victor''': But you can't let Frollo win!
*'''Quasimodo''': He already has.
*'''Hugo''': So, you're giving up? That's it?
*'''Laverne''': These chains aren't what's holding you back, Quasimodo.
*'''Quasimodo''': Leave me alone.

''(The gargoyles stopped upon hearing Quasi. Feelings slightly hurt, and seeing Quasi give up hope, they slowly moved away from him.)''

*'''Hugo''': Okay. Okay, Quasi, we'll leave ya alone.
*'''Victor''': After all, we're only made out of stone.
*'''Laverne''': We just thought maybe you were made of something stronger.

''(The gargoyles sadly stood by the ledge and turn to stone. Quasi was left on his own to wallow in his depression. He felt no hope left in him. But he heard Frollo's voice from outside and something rose inside him. All those years of torment from Frollo were getting to him, but he realized that Frollo was going to kill Esmeralda, the very being who introduced him to a whole new life, a life of kindness, and assurance that he wasn't what Frollo told him. As Frollo prepares to ignite the stake and burn Esmerelda, Quasi moved himself forward to the ledge.)''

*'''Frollo''': For justice, for Paris, and for her own salvation, it is my sacred duty to send this unholy demon back where she belongs! (ignites the stake and sets it on fire)

''(The angry mob loudly protested against this as Esmeralda looked in horror of the flame that was going to burn her to death.)''

*'''Quasimodo''': (enraged with anger) '''NOOOOOOOOO!!!!'''

''(Quasi pulled on the chains and this started shaking the area around him. The chains surrounding Quasi were strong, but Quasi was stronger. As he pulled, the bells started ringing loudly.  He twisted and swung himself around, struggling to free himself. But he had to move fast because Esmeralda was starting to suffocate. The murderous Frollo watched as Esmeralda started passing out. Ash and his team look on helplessly as Frollo maliciously begins to burn Esmerelda to death. But Quasi was almost freed. He gave one mighty tug, and he finally broke the chains off him. Some of the pillars broke apart as an angry Quasi grabbed a rope and tied it around a gargoyle. He got to a side of the building and, with his eyes locked on Esmeralda, jumped off the building while holding onto the rope. He swung down over the crowd.)''

*'''Misty''': (gasps, taps Ash's shoulder, and points up) Look!
*'''Ash Ketchum''': (gasps)
*'''Heroes, Villains, and the crowd''': (gasp in surprise as Quasi swings down over them and lands onto the pyre)

''(He frees Esmeralda from her rope. Quasi's appearance not only surprised everyone, but Frollo and the guards were not impressed by his interference. Some guards got onto the pyre to stop Quasi, but the hunchback grabbed the stake and swung it towards them. With Esmeralda in his hands, Quasi grabbed the rope and swung back to the cathedral.)''

*'''Frollo''': (outraged) Quasimodo!

''(The crowd watched as Quasi climbed up the cathedral with the unconscious Esmeralda in his arms.)''

*'''Ash Ketchum''': Alright!
*'''Littlefoot''': Go, Quasi!
*'''Simba''': Attaboy!
*'''Villains''': (cheering for Quasimodo)
*'''Quasimodo''': (climbs to the highest balcony of the cathedral and shouts to the audience while holding Esmerelda up) '''SANCTUARY!''' '''SANCTUARY!''' '''SANCTUARY!''' (the crowd cheers, but then suddenly...)
*'''Bowser''': (V.O.; enraged with anger) '''FROLLO!!!!'''
*'''Everyone''': (gasps)

''(A ship arrives at the scene. The hatch opens, and out from the ship, steps Bowser and Mistress 9.)''
*'''Villains''': (overjoyed) BOWSER!!
*'''Heroes''': Bowser?
*'''Frollo's guards''': (immediately become intimidated by Bowser's sudden appearance)

''(One guard attempts to spear Bowser. But the spear had no effect on him because of his scaly body. Bowser pulls the spear out and throws it away. The guards try to attack Bowser, but he simply tosses them aside as if they were nothing but annoying bugs. Bowser had no intention of fighting the guards. For he had only one thing in mind: helping his troops and reluctantly helping Ash and his friends bring Frollo to justice for good. He walks over to the deranged judge and glares down at him.)''

*'''Frollo''': (gasps) Bowser? (clears throat) Good evening, Bowser. I wasn't expecting to see you here tonight. How's every little thing with your family?
*'''Bowser''': (he is in no mood for a conversation) Frollo, how dare you betray me and sentence my troops to death behind my back! This is not what we've bargained for! We trusted you!

*'''Frollo''': Captain!
*'''Brutish Guard''': Sir!
*'''Frollo''': Seize the cathedral!
*'''Heroes''': (overhears Frollo's latest action and gasp)
*'''Misty''': That monster!
*'''Nala''': He can't do that! Notre Dame is too sacred to be raided by someone as evil as Frollo!
*'''Grandpa Longneck''': This has gone too far!
*'''Grandma Longneck''': There has to be something we can do!
*'''Cera''': Come on, guys, think! We gotta do something to stop Frollo from killing Esmerelda!
*'''Shenzi''': (clears throat) I know this is beyond your comfort zone, but I propose we team up and take down that wicked monstrosity together. For as we know, desperate times call for desperate measures. Truce?

''(Ash and his team look at each in confusion. But they realize, Shenzi is making a good point. They need all the help they can get. Even if it means teaming up with their sworn enemies in a time of crisis.)''

*'''Ash Ketchum''': (shakes Shenzi's paw) Until all of this is over.
*'''Shenzi''': Yes. Agreed.

''(Quasi placed Esmeralda in a bedroom as the gargoyles, having seen Quasi regain his spirit, watched from outside.)''

*'''Quasimodo''': Don't worry, you'll be safe here.

''(Quasi heard commotion going on outside and he rushed out of the room. He jumped down to an area with a cauldron of hot molten lead. He grabbed a heavy, wooden beam and threw it down to the guards below. They scurried like ants as the beam landed on Frollo's carriage. Frollo, angered with Quasi for the last time, stormed towards the entrance of the cathedral.)''

*'''Frollo''': Come back, you cowards! You men, pick up that beam. Break down the door.
*'''Phoebus''': Alone at last. (knocks out the guard, grabs the keys, and unlocks the cage; to Ash) Heads up, Ash!
*'''Ash Ketchum''': (catches the keys) Thanks, Phoebus! (goes to unlock the cage he and his friends are in)
*'''Phoebus''': (climbs up on top of his cage) Citizens of Paris, Frollo has persecuted our people, ransacked our city, and now, he has declared war on Notre Dame herself! Will we allow it?!
*'''Crowd''': '''NO!!!!'''

''(Everyone charged into battle as the mob smashed the locks of the gypsie's cages.)''

*'''Ash Ketchum''': (unlocks the cage) Come on, guys! Let's go!
*'''Misty''': '''CHARGE!!!'''
*'''Brock''': (takes a sword) Yaaahh!! On to battle!
*'''Simba and Nala''': (roar as they run into battle)
*'''Littlefoot and his friends''': (scream as they charge into battle)
*'''Meowth''': It's payback time!! (screams as he extends his claws and charges into battle)
*'''Villains''': (scream as they charge into battle)
*'''Shenzi, Banzi, and Ed''': (growl and then bark as they charge into battle)
*'''Timon and Pumbaa''': Hee-yah!!!
*'''Timon''': Excuse me! Pardon me! Comin' through! Hot stuff!

''(The large crowd of people charged towards the guards as Quasi and the gargoyles watched from above.)''

*'''Hugo''': I think the calvary's here! Hey, isn't that, eh, Feeble?
*'''Laverne''': Doofus.
*'''Quasimodo''': Phoebus!

-

*'''Jessie''': Go, Gourgeist!
*'''James''': Inkay, let's go!

-

-

*'''Victor''': (after dropping a brick on a guard's head) Sorry, sorry.
*'''Hugo''': (munches on a stone; flew around like a bomber; and then rapidly firing out the pieces like a laser gun)

''(The shots hit the guards really hard.)''

-

-

-

*'''Old man''': Oh! I-I'm free! I'm free! (falls into a sewer) Dang it!

-

*'''Bowser''': Troops, stand ready! (Frollo's soldiers come charging in) FIRE!!

''(The villains attack Frollo's soldiers with their attacks.)''

-

-

*'''Mistress 9''': You've just made a big mistake challenging me. (attacks Frollo's soldiers with her powers)

-

-

*'''Shenzi''': Oh, no you don't!
*'''Banzai''': Nobody's getting in here!

''(They both push the ladder one soldier is climbing on, causing him to fall and crash to the ground.)''

-

-

*'''Timon''': Please, don't hurt me!
*'''Pumbaa''': Drop 'em!
*'''Oafish Soldier''': (Banzai's voice) Hey, who's the pig?
*'''Pumbaa''': Are you talking to me?
*'''Timon''': Uh-oh. You called him a pig.
*'''Pumbaa''': Are you talking to me?
*'''Timon''': You shouldn't have done that.
*'''Pumbaa''': Are you talking to me?!
*'''Timon''': Now, you're in for it!
*'''Pumbaa''': They call me, Mr. Pig!! (screams as he charges and attacks Frollo's soldiers)

-

-

-

-

*'''Victor''': Ready, aim, fire! (they push the catapult off the ledge) Are you sure that's how it works? (the catapult squishes the soldiers like mice in a mouse trap)
*'''Hugo''': Works for me!

-

-

*'''Laverne''': (commanding a flock of birds) Fly, my pretties! Fly! Fly! (laughs)

''(Up at the bell tower, Victor used Hugo to start a fire underneath a boiling cauldron of molten metal. When it got hot enough, Quasi attached a rope to it and pulled with all his might to tip it over. The gargoyles helped him out. But the guards finally managed to bust a hole through the door. The cauldron finally tipped over and the hot liquid dipped out of the church and fell to the ground like lava bursting from a volcano. Seeing the copper rain down from the balcony, the guards fled as everyone cleared away from the hot substance. The intense battle of Notre Dame was more in favor of the heroes, for they had stopped the guards from bursting into the cathedral to get Esmeralda. But one man hid himself behind the waterfall of metal and angrily used his sword to cut his way through the door. It was Frollo and he made his way into the cathedral.)''

*'''Archdeacon''': Frollo, have you gone mad?! I will not tolerate this assault on the house of God!
*'''Frollo''': (now mentally insane with anger) Silence, you old fool! (disrespectfully throws the archdeacon down the stairs) The hunchback and I have unfinished business to attend to! And this time, you will not interfere. (closes the door and locks it before heading upstairs to kill Quasimodo and Esmerelda himself)

''(Back outside, Nala, while fighting the guards, spots Frollo heading up to the bell tower through the window. She gasps in horror and rushes to the others while fighting off the guards.)''

*'''Nala''': We've got a problem! Frollo made his way into the cathedral and he's going up the bell tower to kill Quasi and Esmerelda!
*'''Misty''': What?!
*'''Cera''': He's going to kill Quasi and Esmerelda within the cathedral?!
*'''Simba''': (growls) That's it! This has gone far enough! That madman's got to be stopped once and for all! I'm going in there!
*'''Ash Ketchum''': Littlefoot and I are going in with you, Simba!
*'''Littlefoot:''' Yeah!

-

*'''Jessie''': Stop wasting time!
*'''Arthur''': We'll take care of these hooligans!
*'''Banzai''': Hurry and get into the cathedral so you can your friends stop Frollo once and for all!

-

-

*'''Ash Ketchum''': Simba!

''(Simba leap over the molten metal whilst roaring. Littlefoot's grandfather manages to safely lift his grandson on the other side with his long neck.)''

*'''Littlefoot:''' Thanks, Grandpa!
*'''Grandpa Longneck''': No problem, Littlefoot. Now, you'd better hurry and help Quasi protect Esmerelda.
