It was late night in Disney World. The parks were closed. Everyone was gone. No cast members were in sight. It was empty and completely silent.
Well, at least it used to be empty and quiet at night. But when the famous heroes of Disney World known as the Kingdom Keepers rose to power, the parks became active at night.
The Kingdom Keepers were nine kids who used a system that created holograms for them called DHIs. By day their DHI would roam around the park and help out guests. By night, the kids would wake up as their DHIs and roam around the park.
They were brought together to defeat a group of Disney Villains who called themselves, the Overtakers. But recently, the leader, Finn Whitman, along with the two newest members, Dillard Cole and Mattie Weaver, and a few Disney characters, sealed the evil leaders of the Overtakers, Maleficent, Hades, and Chernabog, in the underworld. Now it became an inescapable prison for them.
Ever since that night, the Overtakers had supposedly gone into hiding. For the past few weeks there was no Overtaker activity reported. This allowed the keepers to roam around the parks at night and have fun, actually go on the attractions. At night, Disney World became their personal park. They had the parks all to themselves.
Tonight the keepers had did a marathon and went to every single park, on every single ride, and made it back in time to return.
"Well tonight was fun!" Finn said as everyone gathered in Main Street right at the statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse.
"The parks have never been more fun, and more safe than ever," Amanda Lockhart, Finn's girlfriend, said.
Amanda was a being known as a Fairlie. She was a human who had a supernatural talent, the ability to use telekinesis. There were many others like her, like her sister, Jess, who had the ability of foresight, and their best friend Mattie, the newest Kingdom Keeper, who could read minds and see other people's past by physical contact.
"I hope that this fun never ends!" said Maybeck.
"Well we all know that might now be possible," said Charlene, Maybeck's girlfriend.
"Even though the Overtaker leaders are gone, the other Overtakers are still alive."
"Who knows when they might attack us by surprise?" Jess said.
"We shouldn't worry about them now," Dillard said.
"We should enjoy this fun while it lasts," said Willa.
"Well it has been a long night," Philby, Willa's boyfriend, said.
"Are we ready to return?" Mattie, Dillard's girlfriend, asked.
Finn nodded and pulled out a fob.
"Everyone ready?" he asked.
Everyone nodded and held hands.
"Press the button!" he yelled.
Everyone pressed the button.
Finn was supposed to wake up in his bed back home. But when he woke up, he wasn't in his bed, or at home at all.
He sat up, looking around. He was in a jail cell. He noticed that his hands were chained to the wall behind him.
"Where am I?" he asked. "What's going on?"
"You're in our prison!" said an annoying voice.
Finn's eyes popped open. He knew whose voice it belonged to.
He looked forward and saw Cruella de Vil, the villain from 101 Dalmatians, standing outside his cell. She was one of the many Overtakers.
"Oh god! Fuck! No! Not you!" Finn cried.
"Really?" Cruella said as she blew smoke from her cigarette into Finn's cell. "We haven't seen each other for weeks and you start out by cursing at me?"
"After what you guys did to all of us? Yes of course I will curse!" Finn yelled.
The sight of an Overtaker made him remember what happened weeks ago, when he and everyone, except Dillard and Mattie, were kidnapped by the Overtakers and horribly tortured by them.
Cruella laughed.
"Well unfortunately, you're not the only one who's going to be doing any cursing," she said.
She clapped her hands. Her two henchmen, Horace and Jasper came running up to her.
"You called?" Horace asked.
She pointed at Finn.
"Get the boy," she said. "It is finally time."
The henchmen laughed as they walked inside the cell.
Jasper grabbed Finn's arms, and then Horace put a bag over Finn's head.
Finn didn't know where he was going. He was being escorted somewhere. He couldn't move. He couldn't break free. He couldn't go all clear.
Soon they reached a door, and walked inside. Finn could hear the sound of people talking, which then turned into laughter.
He could feel himself being strapped to a chair.
"Remove the bag!" yelled a voice that Finn immediately recognized as well.
The bag was removed and Finn looked up. He was in some kind of cave or hideout that was filled with every Overtaker they had faced. The Queen of Hearts, Dr. Facilier, Ursula, Scar, Jafar, Yzma, Shere Khan, Gaston, Captain Hook, Judge Claude Frollo, Prince Hans, Prince John, the Horned King, Lady Tremaine, Judge Doom, Shan Yu, Yokai, even Darth Vader. Finn was terrified, but not as terrified as he was of the two people in front of him.
Standing in front of him was the Evil Queen and Tia Dalma. Right next to Maleficent, they were the darkest sorceresses that Finn ever faced. Just standing in front of them sent a chill up Finn's spine.
"It has been a while Lawrence," the Evil Queen said.
"So I assume your think you're the leader of the Overtakers now?" Finn asked.
The Evil Queen laughed.
"The temporary leader," she said.
"Well that temporary might be a long time, because if you have forgotten, your precious leaders are trapped in the Underworld," Finn said.
"We already know that," Tia Dalma said. "But now we have found our new leader."
Everyone laughed menacingly.
"What are you talking about?" Finn said. "A new leader? As far as I know, I have seen every single Disney villain as an Overtaker here. There are no new Disney villains, so who is your new leader?"
The dark sorceresses smiled and stared at Finn.
Finn was confused, but then realized they meant him.
"M…Me?" Finn stammered. He burst out laughing.
The Overtakers frowned.
"You would have to be crazy to think that I am your new leader," he said after he was done laughing. "There is no way in hell that I would lead a bunch of evil, treacherous, murderous, vile, cruel, sadistic, and wicked group of thugs like you!"
The Evil Queen smiled.
"Well unfortunately you will have no choice," she said. "You won't be able to control yourself."
She pulled out a box.
"In this box lies a powerful curse that can consume your heart, and make you pure evil," she said. "As evil as Maleficent, Hades, and Chernabog combined."
"What do you mean?" asked Finn, who was now growing scared. "Why do you even want to use me? Why can't you curse yourselves?"
"Because we need a cursed leader who not only can use this power for our plans, but is also capable of killing or defeating the keepers," said Tia Dalma.
"And we have come to realize that the only people that can kill the keepers, is one of their own," the Evil Queen said. "So we are using you."
"Never!" said Finn.
The Evil Queen began to walk towards Finn.
She then stood in front of him and opened up the box. A snake-like creature made of dark goo was inside.
"Open up," said the Evil Queen.
"Go to hell you bitch!" Finn said.
The Evil Queen slapped him across the face.
"Don't make this difficult on yourself," she said.
"Shove off!" Finn said.
Tia Dalma walked up and grabbed Finn's face.
"I suggest you corporate with us," she said.
Finn spat in Tia Dalma's face.
"Go fuck yourself!" he said.
Tia Dalma shook her head.
"You're beginning to try our patience Lawrence," she said. "I was hoping to do this the easy way. But it seems we have to do this the hard way."
Tia Dalma grabbed Finn's face and struggled to open his mouth.
"Quickly!" Tia Dalma said to the Evil Queen.
She nodded and walked up taking the snake out of the box. She bent down to shove it down his throat, but then Finn kicked her in the gut. She howled in pain.
"You've just made a big mistake!" the Evil Queen spat.
She snapped her fingers. Ursula came up and wrapped her tentacles around Finn's legs, arms, and neck.
"No!" Finn yelled. "Please! Don't!"
No one listened.
"Keep him steady," said the Evil Queen. She bent down and grabbed Finn's face.
"Eat up, Dark One," she said and shoved the darkness into Finn's mouth. The Overtakers closed Finn's mouth, making him swallow it.
Everyone stepped back as Finn gagged and sputtered.
Finn could feel the snake traveling down his throat. It slithered like a snake until it reached his chest.
Suddenly he cried out in pain.
"AHHHHHHH!" he yelled. The darkness was doing something to his heart. It felt like it was sticking into him like a sword.
The Overtakers stared at him as he thrashed in pain.
"What…have…you…done…to me!?" Finn yelled.
Suddenly, he screamed again. Dark aura began to surround him. The Overtakers saw his veins turned black. His eyes transformed from green to blood red.
Then, he broke free of the chair. He yelled and sat on his knees, holding his head. He screamed as bolts of electricity surrounded the dark aura. The Overtakers were kind of worried.
Then, the aura was absorbed into Finn. The scream stopped. Finn lied on his knees, breathing heavily.
The Overtakers began to walk towards Finn.
"Lawrence?" the Evil Queen asked.
Suddenly, Finn began to chuckle. He started out quiet, and then grew louder and louder. He laughed wickedly and crazily.
He then stood up.
"My name, is not Lawrence Finnegan Whitman," Finn said.
He looked at the Evil Queen. She saw that his eyes were blood red. He grinned evilly.
"Call me…The Dark One!" Finn said.
"It worked!" Tia Dalma said.
Finn looked at everyone evilly.
"Kneel before the Dark One!" he yelled.
The Overtakers all bowed towards Finn.
"You will all serve me for eternity," Finn said. "Together we shall free Maleficent, Hades, and Chernabog, and all together we shall destroy this wretched park, and all of its happiness."
"Yes! Yes!" The Evil Queen said. "Excellent master!"
Finn smiled. He then looked at himself. He was wearing Finn's pajamas. (Note: He is not Finn anymore, but I will still call him Finn. The Overtakers and Finn himself will call him the Dark One.)
"This attire is highly inappropriate for me," he said. "I demand new clothing!"
"Already taken care of," said Tia Dalma.
She whistled and Jafar stepped up, holding a pile of clothing. He kneeled down and held them towards Finn.
"For you Dark One," he said. "Please accept them."
Finn smiled and took the clothing.
"Thank you," he said. "Now leave! Everyone out so I can change!"
The Overtakers nodded and walked out of the room.
Finn smiled and began to change into the new clothing.
A few minutes later, he called the Overtakers back in. One by one they filled the room. They looked at their master in his new clothing.
He wore clothing exactly similar to Peter Pan from Once Upon a Time; only it was a much darker green. He also had light-dark green short hooded cloak. It covered part of his right arm up to his elbow. He grinned at everyone.
"And now one more thing!" Finn said. "I need a weapon worthy of someone like the Dark One."
"I have what you need," said the Evil Queen.
She reached into he robe and pulled out a short sword in a scabbard. She bent down and held it towards Finn.
Finn smiled and grabbed the hilt that had a skull on the butt. He slowly pulled out the sword. It had a wavy blade like Shan Yu's sword. It was covered in black designs. Near the end of the blade, the name Finn was imprinted.
"I still think your friends should know who you are," said the Evil Queen as he stared at the name. "Or what you once were."
Finn chuckled.
"Those pesky keepers are not my friends," Finn said. "They will know me not as Finn, but instead, the Dark One!"
The Evil Queen smiled. Finn sheathed the sword and grabbed the scabbard, putting it on his back.
He then pulled up his hood and walked towards the throne that the Evil Queen was sitting on. He sat down, putting his leg up on one of arms and holding his head up with his other arm, resting.
"I promise you all," Finn said. "We will achieve our goal. We will fulfill our destiny. We will free the leaders, and destroy all happiness!"
Everyone laughed.
"But most of all," he said. "We will finally kill those pesky keepers."
He laughed menacingly with the Overtakers. Their voices echoed throughout the place.
Alright! Here's the first chapter of the sequel to Only Hope. Finn has been cursed by the Overtakers. Finn is now evil! The Dark One! But can he be stopped or even freed from the spell by the keepers. Can they do anything to help them, and how will they react when they find out its Finn? Stay tuned to find out.
See you next update.
