A/N: So, I watched Disney's Robin Hood and I couldn't help but make a story out of it. So, here's my take on the continuity of Robin Hood.
Second Life: It's A Cold Cold World
It had been months since King Richard's return. Sir Hiss, a convict arrested for the tax-related crimes, was checked out by one of Rhino guards. Hiss was asleep when the guard knocked on his cell.
"Hiss! You've got a package."
Hiss woke up from the sudden noise. "What's the idea? Can't you see that I'm sleeping!"
"Yeah, well like I said. You have a package."
"Who's it from?" he grumbled
"Doesn't say." The guard then left.
Hiss was still annoyed by the being rudely awaken. The package looked like a present. It was wrapped around and it had a card. Hiss grabbed the package with his tail and plucked the card out of the ribbon and read the message.
"Open the gift. XXX." He looked further and noticed a strange signature that seemed all too familiar to him but to whom did it belong again? He decided to go ahead with opening the package.
The rhino guard was at some certain distance from Hiss' cell when…
BANG!
The guard fell down and took cover. He looked through the back and noticed there was a gaping hole to where the snake's cell was. Hiss emerged from the rubble that covered him. He had fallen out of his cell to the outside world. That was some explosion. "I'll never open gifts from strangers again."
"Jail break!"
"Oh boy." He then slithered as fast as he could away from the prison.
While his was leaving away, ex-Prince John looked at his window. "Excellent. Everything's going to plan." He said while he thumb-sucked it all.
The foxy Robin Hood had been called to King Richard's throne for an unknown reason. It was late at night. He had been spending some… quality time with Maid Marian when a royal guard had come in to their room. Robin was annoyed at that. He was not the one that lost his cool immediately, but the incidents had been increasing several times and Robin was losing his patience. Luckily, Maid Marian was there to calm him down. When he entered, he noticed King Richard talking to one of his subjects in a much angrier tone. Ever since his pardon, he had been knighted and had become one of his most trusted knights. King Richard noticed Robin's entrance as Robin bowed before the king.
"You asked for my presence, my Lord?"
"Sir Robin of Loxley, just the man I wanted to see."
"What's troubling you, my Lord?"
King Richard sat down to his throne. "Sir Hiss has escaped."
Robin Hood's eyes widened. "What! But how?"
"My messenger tells me that there was an explosion that occurred but only before a package was given to him."
"And you want me to catch him?"
"Exactly. Robin, word is that he's in Sherwood Forest. A place I believe you're very familiar with."
Sir Hiss was now slithering as fast as he could in Sherwood Forest. The guards have been running after him for the rest of the night. Hiss hid in the bushes as some guards passed by him. When they were long far enough, he emerged and secretly was talking to himself.
"I gotta get out of here. I gotta get out of here." He breathed heavily. "I'll change my name, my face, start a new life. Anything just to get out of this hopeless life." He then stopped his talking. He hid in the bushes. In front of him was his arch enemy… somewhat and that oversized gummy bear. He overheard their conversation.
"Do you think he's close, Rob?"
"I don't know. I could've sworn I heard his voice somewhere around here. Must be late I guess."
Little John looked at Robin carefully. "Are you okay Rob? You look like you haven't slept well."
"King Richard's been having these late night meetings recently. Marian and I are always getting surprise visits in our room. I'm tellin' ya Johnny, I think I'm losing it."
Hiss slowly slithered back until he snapped a twig.
"Did you hear something?" Robin asked.
Hiss suddenly increased his pace. He tried as fast as he could. They were now a bit far from him but still behind him. "I think he went this way." Hiss heard from the distance. The night was still dark and Hiss could not see. Then, he stopped his pace. He was thankful he did at the same time scared. In front of him was a cliff and now he was wondering how in the world was he going to cross to the other side which was also a cliff. He could hear the guards as well as Robin Hood approaching him. Then, to his surprise, he noticed a box packaged in the same way as the first one. He came closer to it and saw it had a tag attached to it.
"Life on the other side. XXX." Hiss read the tag.
Robin Hood and the guards soon met up.
"I think I heard him go this way." Robin said.
Then a sudden bang was heard. They went and immediately emerged from the side of the cliff. They saw a scorch mark near the edge of the cliff. Then they heard a noise from above to which it was traveling in a trajectory.
"Freedom!" Hiss just yelled. He had just escaped.
"And they say pigs fly." Little John just commented.
