Chapter 1: Returns and Questions.

(Third Person)

"Come on daddy! We're gonna be late!"

"Give me a minute sweetie. I just need to tell your sister we're going." Mr. Diaz told his youngest daughter, Sofía, as he rushed upstairs to Jenna's room.

"Jenna? Can I come in?" He asked, knocking on the door and he heard a thumping around before an answer came.

"Uh, yeah! Come on in!" A muffled voice answered and he opened the door to see Jenna leaning against her closet door.

"I'm heading out with your siblings, you're gonna be fine on your own?" He asked.

"Yep, it's just gonna be me. Alone, working on boring math, and science, and maybe some dance too...The point is, I'll be fine. You go and handle the others." Jenna assured her father, who gave her a hug and kissed her forehead.

"Te amo Jenna."

"Yo también te amo papi." Jenna replied and her dad smiled before waving goodbye and rushing downstairs. Jenna listened for a moment and waited until she heard the front door open and shut. Then the car drove off. She sighed and opened the closet door.

"Okay, he's gone." She said and two figures stumbled out and let out a breath that they were holding. Revealing themselves to be Angela and Ella.

"Phew, any longer and I would have probably given us away." Ella sighed in relief.

"You two really should warn me before you transport yourselves into my closet." Jenna joked and Angela gave and awkward laugh as she fiddled with her crowbar.

"Sorry about that, we thought your dad would have left with your siblings by now." She apologized and Jenna shrugged.

"It's not your fault, so what brings you by?" She asked. "I didn't get the chance to ask, because I shoved you back in the closet and told you to be quiet."

"Well, we were gonna go back today." Ella admitted happily.

"Go back?" Jenna asked.

"You know, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc, and Up? Angela and I are going back and we wanted to know of you were going. You and I specifically haven't gone back in a while." Ella explained, fiddling with her bracelet, and Jenna raised and eyebrow.

"Okay, I get that, but why ask if I'm going to?" Jenna asked.

"Well, you know...we've all gotten a message from Luxo, and we still haven't figured out what it meant." Angela said in an unsure voice.

"Oh right, that." Jenna said, facepalming. "I'm not gonna lie and say I'm not worried, I am, but I'm sure whatever Luxo is warning us about we can handle it. Together."

"I hope your right. Cause I can't even seem to get Riptide under control!" Angela cried in frustration.

"Didn't you say that he hasn't been that active lately?" Ella asked.

"Well yeah, but that can't be good. He could be planning my down fall, and I would just be none the wiser!" Angela huffed and crossed her arms over her just and huffed.

"I'm sure you'll be able to stop him from, whatever he's up to. And we'll help you in anyway we can." Jenna assured her friend, by placing a hand on her shoulder. Angela sighed.

"Thanks, that helps...okay I think we should head on over to our friends huh?"

"YES!" Ella exclaimed happily and leaped into the air and stopped when she saw the looks her friends we're giving her.

"Uh...I mean...Yay! We get to see our friends, it'll be fun!" Ella gave an awkwardly laughed and Jenna raised an eyebrow.

"A little eager are we?" She asked and Angela got a similar look.

"This wouldn't have something to do with seeing a certain disappearing purple monster that you managed to help reform, does it?" Angela added and Ella felt her face warm up and covered her cheeks.

"What? Pffft! No! I mean, sure I hope to see him, and know how he's doing...but it's not like that! I swear!" Ella sputtered quickly. Angela and Jenna glanced at each other and nodded.

"Ella, we can both see it in your eyes. It's crystal clear." Jenna said calmly.

"You don't know what your talking about!" Ella denied, Angela shook her head.

"I think we do, I haven't see you like this before...not even with..."

"NO! You will NOT say his name!" Ella cried in horror and tears started forming in her eyes. Angela and Jenna stopped talking and Ella wiped her tears away before sighing.

"I'm sorry, it's just...after my relationship with him...I don't think I'm ready to be...in...love again. I'm a horrible? Did I move on way to quickly? Should I wait...or...GAH!" Ella groaned and flopped onto Jenna's bed. Angela and Jenna followed suit.

"Look Ella, your ex...well, el era un tonto." Jenna joked and Ella giggled.

"I agree. He was a fool to treat you that way. You did the right thing by dumping him, and your not a horrible person for finding someone else who cares about you. I saw how Randall acted around you, he was nicer to you more in a half a day then...well you know who, in a week." Angela added.

"But still...I never really saw myself being in a relationship after that..." Ella admitted.

"Break ups suck, I won't lie, but I don't think you should close yourself off because of a bad one you had. Like the old saying, there's plenty to fish in the sea." Jenna said, giving a playful look at Angela, who rolled her eyes.

"Haha, very funny, but I agree with Jenna. You should give love a chance." Angela said and Ella smiled before giving a shy nod.

"Okay, then let's get going!" Angela cheered and Jenna went to her desk and took out her shrunken spear from the top drawer and held it out.

"Extend!" It grew and she smiled happily. "I'm going to my treehouse, something tells me I'll be able to use it better there."

"Okay, I'll just use the closet." Ella said and snapped her fingers, transforming into her monster form.

"Welp, it's portal time for me! See you guys later! Have fun!" Angela waved and used her crowbar to summon a portal before disappearing and Ella followed suit with the closet. Jenna rushed outside and entered her treehouse and made a X with the spear, causing a portal appeared in front of her and she stepped through.

"Now, that we are all here, we can finally start my plan for revenge." Riptide said calmly. He and the other villains that he'd gathered for the past couple of days were sitting around a circular table under a bright light.

"Yeah about that, what exactly is your plan?" Thunderclap asked.

"You haven't done much except run your mouth about revenge. Some of us have been getting antsy." Lotso added.

"I'm with them, how can we even trust you?" Miles Axlerod asked and Riptide's glare darkened, before he could retort a robotic voice spoke up.

"Riptide's actions are trust worthy, he has brought us all together, because we have all failed alone." AUTO explained.

"Yes, thank you AUTO." Riptide nodded and stood up from his chair. "If you three think that you can handle your revenge in your own, which I doubt you can, be my guest."

"What did you say?!" Thunderclap growled.

"You heard me, I'm sure that you have the half of a brain to at least listen for a few seconds." Riptide smirked.

"Oh! Like you're so powerful! You rely on some trinket for your power!" Stinky Pete exclaimed. Riptide froze and his eyes darkened.

"Very well, since you are so doubtful of me, let's see what happens when I don't use my 'trinket'." Riptide smirked and took the pendant off. Suddenly a handful of the villains started screaming in agony. Syndrome was clutching his head and Charles Muntz was holding on the table for support.

"I think that's enough." Riptide said and causally put the pendant back on. All the villains turned to him in slight horror and Riptide stood up on the table and walked to the center and gripped his trident.

"My powers are the very reason half of you are alive and here now for a second chance." Riptide explained and pointed his trident at pointed it at Hopper.

"I saved you from being eaten by a BABY bird. After you lost your power to an ant!"

Next was Stinky Pete.

"And you were in a girls clutches before I brought you here."

Then there was Waternoose.

"You were arrested for trying to save your company, and were even betrayed by your own employees!"

Syndrome was next.

"You were nearly killed by your own plane! You'd be dead now if it weren't for me!"

Riptide then stared down at Skinner.

"You had lost your restaurant to a RAT! Whether he could cook or not doesn't matter, he OUTSMARTED YOU!"

He looked over at AUTO.

"You're now more powerful because of my and Syndrome." He said, AUTO just gave a slight nod at that.

Riptide then pointed his trident at Charles Muntz.

"You nearly fell to your doom, after falling off a blimp."

Lotso was next.

"And you were tied to the front of garbage truck, after losing your perfect empire for toys."

Then Miles Axlerod.

"You're plan was found out by a non-spy tow truck."

Thunderclap became face to face with Riptide's trident next.

"You had a hole in your wing before I brought you here and healed your injury."

Riptide then started straight at Ernesto.

"You had the entire land of the dead at your throat and was trapped under a bell before I recruited you."

And finally, he turned to Evelyn as he walked back to his seat.

"And I had saved her from prison. So, is there anymore doubt in my plans, or am I going to have to send some of you back to where I left you?" Riptide asked as he sat back down. No one said anything and just gave a nod.

"I think I speak for all of us when we say that we are with you, Riptide." Lotso said, hoping to ease tensions.

"I second that." Skinner added.

"Me to amigo." Ernesto said quickly.

"Good, very good." Riptide smirked and nodded his head happily before he cleared his throat.

"Now, back to business. Not long from now, we will complete phase 3 of my master plan, once we do that we will have to move quickly before..."

*CRASH!*

Riptide shot up from the table and his gaze drifted to a corner of the room. He used some sort of magic that allowed him to reach the location and nearly ripped the door off of the closet that was hidden in the wall and glared down at a figure, who was pressed against the wall.

"Oh, hey...this isn't the...playground. I must have taken a wrong turn by the bathroom. My bad. Mind pointing me in the right direction, buddy?" The figure asked, and Riptide took a step back and snapped his fingers.

"Seize him."

"Sorry, what?"

Skinner and Charles Muntz each stood up and grabbed the figure by his arms and dragged him away.

"Wait no, come on! We can work this out! Hey, you like candy?" The figure called as he was dragged away.

"Take him to phase two, we'll deal with that later." Riptide ordered and grinned to the remaining villains.

"Now, we begin phase 3."

Jenna exited the portal and it closed behind her before she sighed to herself and reacted her spear before placing it into her pocket and walked noticed she was between buildings, so no one noticed her coming out, except a cat that had scurried away after seeing the portal.

"Wow, I'm actually back." Jenna sighed to herself and walked out onto the sidewalk and looked around before coming to a very important conclusion.

"I have no idea where to go." She muttered to herself and face-palmed. "I knew I should have looked it up before I left."

Just when she was about to sigh again she felt a vibration from her pocket. She reached in and pulled out her mini spear. It glows for a moment and she stared at it before balancing it on her fingers. It suddenly pointed right and Jenna walked in that direction. She followed the direction it was going for a few minutes, and it soon brought her to a family friendly park.

"Okay, not what I was expecting." Jenna said to herself, and glanced down at her tiny spear that stopped glowing and put it in her back pocket.

Unbeknownst to her a familiar dog was sniffing the ground, as dogs normally should, but soon stopped and lifted his ears and tail, now very alert.

"Roses?" He said, through a collar that was made for him long ago, and he turned his head the entrance and saw Jenna looking around. His eyes widened and tongue stuck out and tail wagged before he burst into a sprint.

"JENNA!" He cried and Jenna turned to him and gasped.

"Dug!" She rushed over and Dug leapt into her arms and she fell to the ground and he started licking her.

"Kisses! You get lots of kisses, because I missed you!" Dug said through his licks and Jenna laughed.

"I missed you too, you cutie!" She laughed and Dug finally backed up, allowing Jenna to sit up as she laughed.

"Wow, it really has been a while huh?" She asked.

"Jenna?" She turned to see Russell walking over to her and she got up and grabbed Russell before spinning him around.

"There's my favorite Wilderness Explorer!" She laughed and gave him a hug.

"You're back! I don't believe it! You're actually back!" Russell exclaimed happily and Jenna put him down.

"Yeah, I'm back." She said sincerely then noticed Carl walking over to them, a big smile on his face.

"Well I'll be, welcome back Jenna." He said and she smiled.

"Thanks Carl. Come here you!" Jenna gave him a hug and after that was over, the four started walking down the street.

"So, hows high school been treating you?" Carl asked jokingly.

"Eh, It has its ups and downs, but I can live it." Jenna replied and looked at Russell. "But seriously, enjoy school now while you can."

"Haha, Jenna is making a joke! I don't get the joke, but it should be funny!" Dug laughed and Jenna sighed happily

"So, anything new here?" She asked.

"Well, other then me becoming a Senior Wilderness Explorer, nothing much. I've been having a lot of fun with Mr. Fredricksen and Dug, but I really missed you." Russell said and Jenna patted his head.

"I missed you guys too, and I would have come back sooner, but I've been really busy. Also, there's something I should tell you guys." Jenna said in a serious tone.

"Everything okay?" Carl asked.

"Well mostly yeah, but it's about my friend Angela. You guys remember her right?" Jenna asked.

"Oh yeah, they appeared before you left. Was she the one that smelled like the ocean or the one that smelled like peaches?" Dug asked.

"Uh...ocean. Anyway, she's part mermaid and has been dealing with this guy..." Jenna then paused mid sentence and froze in place. Something felt wrong, but she couldn't quite place it.

"Jenna, are you okay?" Russell asked, tugging in her arm.

"Something's not right." Jenna stated without hesitation Dug quickly sniffed around.

"I do not smell anything." Dug announced.

"That doesn't help settle me." Jenna said and took out her spear. "Extend!"

"Hey, where is everyone?" Russell asked as Jenna got in a defensive position. Now noticing that they were the only ones around on the street.

"Well this isn't ominous at all." Carl said sarcastically.

"What should we do?" Russell asked worriedly and gripped Jenna's arm.

"I don't know, but maybe we should...GAH!" Jenna slipped down and fell in a portal that appeared in the ground and she fell in. Russell had let go of Jenna's arm so he didn't fall through, but Jenna was still in the hole.

"Whoa! What's going on?!" Russell exclaimed.

"I don't know, but whatever this is, it's pulling me in!" Jenna cried and tried to pull herself out, but it proved to be ineffective since she was only using one arm.

"Hang on, we got you!" Carl said as he grabbed Jenna's arm and was joined by Russell and Dug, who was pulling on Carl's pants, but eventually they all tripped up and the portal sucked them in.

"Whoa!" They all cried as they spun around in the vortex.

"Hang on!" Jenna cried as they fell into a bright light that blinded her vision.

Everyone was extremely busy on the laugh floor. With the new and more powerful energy source discovered, it was easier to make the quota every week, but most of the monsters now enjoyed their jobs. Seeing the kids smile and laugh had made their day. Now it was nearly noon and the monsters were on their last doors. Mike Wazowski was just about to enter his door when the canister started to fill with laughter and he even heard giggling from the other side.

"What the...I haven't even entered the room yet." Mike questioned to himself and opened the door to see a familiar monster doing a handstand in front of a little girl who was laughing happily.

"I'm telling you, with 6 legs handstands become a lot easier!" The monster jokes and the girl laughed harder.

"Ella?" Mike asked and the monster doing a handstand turned her head.

"Hey Mike! Great to see...wah!" Ella loosed her balance and face planted on the floor, startling the kid, but Ella jumped up quickly and smiled brightly.

"I'm okay! Don't worry, I'm fine!" She assured the two watching her and the girl clapped happily as Ella bowed and back out of the door.

"Sleep tight kiddo!" She waved and closed the door. She turned around and looked down at Mike.

"Uh...hi?" Ella was suddenly cut off by laughter and Mike hugging her.

"Ella! I can't believe it! How are you? What are you doing here?" Mike asked, letting go of her.

"Um, I'm good and I decided that I've been gone long enough and I should visit you guys." Ella explained as she and Mike began to walk of the laugh floor.

"Well you picked the right time to come back, things have never been better! Sully took over the company, and found out that laughter is WAY more powerful then screams. So the energy crisis is over! Not to mention everyone here is way happier now!" Mike explained.

"I can see that, I guess things have turned alright." Ella beamed happily and they two made their way to a door that read: Manager. Mike knocked on the door and flung it open.

"Surprise!" Mike exclaimed and Sully looked up from his paper work and saw Mike and Ella at the doorway.

"Ella?" He asked in disbelief and she waved.

"Hi Sulley. I'm back!" She cheered and Sulley rushed over to hug her and smiled happily.

"Welcome back! It's been a while." He said and let go of her.

"Yeah, I know. I've been pretty busy, and by what Mike told me, so have you. From what I saw, the laugh floor seems very successful!" Ella smiled.

"That's what we are trying to accomplish. Glad to know it looks good." Sulley said happily.

"And, you seem to have a talent in getting kids to laugh too." Mike added, patting Ella on the back and turned to Sulley. "She was able to fill the canister on my last kids this morning."

"Is that right?" Sully asked and Ella laughed awkwardly.

"I accidentally stumbled in her room and decided to do a few tricks to keep her from screaming." Ella explained sheepishly.

"Well, it worked. We could use you on the laugh floor." Mike said and Ella blushed before clearing her throat.

"Speaking of which, how's Randall? I haven't seen him at all." Ella asked. Sulley and Mike exchanged a glance and sighed.

"He's working at community service. He had to complete a lot of hours to make up for...what he did." Sulley explained and Ella's shoulders slumped down.

"Oh...well, do you think we can visit him today? I feel like it's the least I can do since I left so quickly." Ella asked hopefully.

"Well sure we can! I mean, Randall has been asking about you a lot. He'll be really happy to see you." Mike said, nudging Ella playfully and she started to blush and attempted to cover her cheeks.

"That's s-sweet he asks about me..." Ella said with a slight giggle and quickly attempted to open the office door, but it wouldn't open. She laughed and tried to pull the door open again.

"Uh...does the door lock automatically, or am I just doing this wrong?" Ella asked and Sulley frowned and tried to open the door.

"That's strange, it's never done this before." He said, scratching his head thoughtfully as he backed away to get a better look at the door. Ella rubbed her arm worriedly and suddenly noticed her bracelet was glowing a light green color.

"Uh guys...I think somethings wrong..." She said and suddenly the door started to glow brightly and a swirling portal opened up and began to suck Ella and Mike in.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" They cried and Sulley was quick to grab them with his hands, but the force was too strong and he was slowly sliding towards the portal.

"What is this thing!?" Mike exclaimed.

"I...I don't know!" Ella cried in fear.

"Hang on!" Sulley cried and Ella felt her grip loosening.

"Sulley, let me go! I'll only pull you in with me!" She cried, tears welding up in her eyes.

"No! You're our friend!" Sulley protested and attempted to tug them away, but it only delayed the inevitable as the three were sucked into the portal and it closed, leaving only a door in its place.

Mira was sitting in her bedroom at her desk and was quickly sketching a quick drawing and groaned heavily as she crumpled it up and threw it in a pile of previous crumpled up papers. Mira rubbed her face with her hands.

"This is going nowhere..." She sighed and started to scribble another drawing down.

"Mira! Lunchtime!" Helen called up and she stopped what she was doing and stood up.

"Coming mom!" She replied and stuffed the drawing in her pocket and walked downstairs. Her family as at the table and Jack-Jack was bouncing happily when Mira entered with Violet close behind.

"So, what's on the menu?" Violet asked.

"Salad, soup, and fruit." Helen replied and Mira sat down and reached for the salad bowl, but she was interrupted when a piece of paper floated out of her pocket and towards Jack-Jack, who was focused on it.

"Hey!" Mira cried, reaching for it, but Dash beat her to it and snatched it from the air and waved it triumphantly.

"Hah! I got it!" He cried and looked at it, only to frown in disappointment. "What is this?"

"Give it back!" Mira exclaimed and reached for the paper and took it back.

"Okay, but what is it?" Violet asked, peering over Mira's shoulder in confusion. Mira sighed and revealed the paper family to see.

"It's a lamp, but I've seen this twice in my dreams. It's been nagging at me for a while. I figured if I could draw it, then I would find out where I've seen it before...but I'm not a great artist, and every time I draw it, there's always something off about it." Mira explained.

"Well I'm sure it's not a big deal." Bob tried to assure her.

"That's the thing, I shouldn't be a big deal, but deep down I know that this is serious." Mira said sincerely and her family exchanged a glance and Helen looked at the picture again.

"Well, I'm sure whatever it is, we'll be able to figure it out together." Helen assured Mira, who smiled softly and took a pencil again before attempting to finish the picture and at the corner she wrote; LUXO.

"This is probably the best I've done." Mira admitted. True, her picture looked like chicken scratch, but she could see the basic outline of Luxo and so could he family.

"Wait, the lamp has a name? Is it the brand?" Violet asked and Mira shook her head.

"No, I don't think...wait do you guys feel that?" Mira asked and suddenly a hole appeared beneath them, forcing them to scatter away from the table, which was sucked in the portal and suddenly zapped back out, causing several dishes to crash and break.

"What is this?" Violet cried.

"It so cool!" Dash exclaimed.

"I don't know what it is, but it's powerful!" Mira replied and saw that Jack-Jack was floating out of Helen's grasp and heading towards the portal.

"Jack-Jack no!" Everyone cried and he suddenly disappeared through the portal.

"We gave to go after him! Together!" Mira cried and grabbed Violet's hand.

"On three!" Violet said.

"One, two, three!" Everyone then jumped in through the portal and found Jack-Jack, but they were too deep in the portal to climb out, so all they could do was continue falling.

Angela sighed to herself as she sat on the edge of the reef. It seemed to just be a normal day. Maybe too normal. Though Angela couldn't help but be on edge, with all that has happened, it was hard to relax. She looked out into the view and smiled softly.

It really was quite a view.

"Hey, Angela!" The mermaid turned to see Dory and Nemo swimming towards her. She swam to them and they tackled her in a hug.

"Hey guys, what's up?" She asked.

"We planned to go help Hank with his house. Remember?" Nemo asked and Angela face-palmed.

"Oh right. I'm sorry, I came early and was admiring the view and I guess I lost track of time." Angela sighed and Dory smiled.

"That's okay, it really is a nice view. Come on, let's go!" Dory said and swam off.

"It's the other way Dory!" Nemo called after her as they followed her.

"I knew that!" Dory assured them and they swam off to Hank's house. Which had a few more rocks around it then he would like.

"We found Angela!" Dory announced. Angela and Nemo swam up to them.

"Hey guys, sorry I kept you waiting. Just thinking..." Angela apologized.

"Oh, no worries. We're all here now." Jenny smiled. Angela returned it and picked up a rock and started to move it. Once she placed it down, and picked up another, but she then paused and was lost in though again. She had too many questions in her mind;

'What is Riptide up to?'

'How can I be able to defeat him?'

'What if he hurts my friends?'

'Am I even strong enough to beat him?!'

'What was Luxo trying to warm me about?!'

"Angela?...Angela!"

"Gah!" Angela gasped and dropped a rock she was holding as Nemo nudged her.

"Are you alright honey? You seem upset." Jenny asked swimming over to her.

"I'm sorry, it's just I have a lot on my mind right now." Angela sighed.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" Nemo asked kindly.

"I guess...I don't wanna worry you." Angela said.

"Angela, we are already worried about you. This isn't the first time we noticed something was off." Jenny said calmly. Angela looked over to her friends and saw that they all wore a worried expression. Even Dory looked worried, and when she was like that you know it's serious.

"Well...it mainly has to do with Riptide, I always feel like he's at least one step ahead of me, if not, more. He attacked me in my world, and even worse, he almost destroyed your home! I feel like I can't rest until I know you guys are out of harms way." Angela ranted and sighed heavily as she slumped down and groaned into her hands.

Everyone was silent for a moment, not knowing exactly what to say. Yes, they've seen first hand of what Riptide was capable of, and of course they all had faith that Angela and everyone in Atlantis would be able to defeat him, but now Angela was having doubts about herself. Hank was the first to speak.

"Hey kid, I know you have some doubts about this, but we believe that you will find a way to take him down." He said sincerely.

"Yeah, you're amazing! The only reason you haven't captured Riptide is because he keeps swimming away! You've always beaten him before and we know you'll do it again!" Nemo beamed swimming around Angela happily.

"They're right, it doesn't take great eyesight to see that you are strong, no matter what you think." Destiny added, slightly joking and Angela smiled at them.

"Thanks guys. I really needed to hear..." Angela froze as she felt something strange and her pearl necklace began to glow.

"Angela? What's wrong?" Nemo asked. Angela's head shot up in fear.

"Get back!" She cried and before anyone could react a portal opened up and Angela was starting to be pulled towards it. She whipped out her crowbar and stuck it into the ground, but she was still being pulled towards the portal.

"Hang on!" Nemo cried and swam over to her, followed by Marlin and Dory, but the three couldn't pull her from the vortex.

"Hold on!" Angela groaned and her crowbar was uprooted from the sand and the four were sucked into the portal and it closed up.

"Oh no!" Bailey gasped.

"Kid!" Hank cried.

"What was that!?" Destiny exclaimed.

"What happened to them?" Charlie asked.

"I don't know, oh I hope they're alright..." Jenny said worriedly.

"Um, maybe we should go to Atlantis? Someone there might know what happened." Destiny suggested.

"You're right, let's go. Angela's been through portals before, let's hope she'll figure out how to get everyone back." Jenny nodded and Hank sighed.

"Yeah, let's go." He said and the four swam off, hoping their friends were alright.
