Crossing Over

A Kingdom Keeper/Maximum Ride crossover

Notes:

James Patterson owns the flock. Ridley Pearson owns most of the Kingdom Keepers – except for Iggy, who is from the flock, and Alice Underwood, who is my creation

2. This takes place after the main Maximum ride series – Iggy will be fifteen in this, for sake of simplicity.

3. This is an Alternate Universe version of Kingdom Keepers – It will follow the original plot, albeight with two new Keepers and a couple weird elements

4. For every book in the KK series, I will make a separate fanfic. Capishe?

Chapter 1 Why on Earth is Maleficent Chasing Me?

Things started to fall down the rabbit hole that night when I woke up in the Magic Kingdom in my pajamas. Yes. My pajamas. I'm not joking here. Fortunately, I was wearing sock monkey pajamas from Nick & Nora, and not something totally ridiculous like the Perry the Platypus pajamas I liked to wear.

But there were three things even weirder than that. One: I was glowing, sort of like those Disney Host Interactive things they installed in Magic Kingdom recently. Two: I had a tortuous headache. Three: it looked like the park was closed. No one else was in here—

I heard a groan behind a bench, and I almost shrieked. Don't call me chicken, but I honestly thought there was a monster. Of course, when the source of the groan finally got up, I realized I need to cut down on horror movies. My "big, scary monster" was actually a guy. A cute, older guy with red hair who was also glowing. Judging by how his eyes were shut and he was holding his head, I wasn't the only one with a bad headache either.

"You feeling okay?" I asked.

"I'll let you know if I do," he said sarcastically. He opened his eyes and then looked shocked.

"Dude, are you all right?"

"Yeah," he said, although I didn't exactly believe him. For one thing, he said it really quietly, and for another, he still had that shocked look on his face. "It's just… How did I get here? And why am I glowing?"

"That is the question of the hour," I say, practically forcing myself to sit up. "So, what's your name?"

He's quiet for a second, which is too long to be trusted, and then says, "Jeff. And you?"

"Alice."

"Okay, Alice. Any ideas on what to do?"

"I dunno. Maybe search the area. There's gotta be some clue as to what's going on." I stood up and looked around. On the outside, I looked calm and collected, but inside, I was freaking out more than a Twilight fan spotting Robert Patterson in public. I mean, I was in Disney World hours before my family would drive here! And judging by how things were, I had the whole place to myself. Haunted Mansion, here I—

"What's going on over there?"

I face where he was pointing and saw a couple of people under Cinderella Castle. Why didn't I notice it before? I respond with "I don't know. Let's check it out."

As we walked over, however, I began to feel more nervous about this. For one thing, as we got closer, the area started to eminate cold, and for another, I started to smell fuel. You know, like gasoline. And it was looking less like a group of people having a conversation and more like a lady yelling at robot men – or robot pirates, I realized. And the lady was green. Bright, neon green. She looked like—

"Who is that lady?" aske Jeff.

"She looks like Maleficent."

"Who is she?"

I was shocked. How could he not know who she is? "She's the villain from Sleeping Beauty. You've seen the movie, right?"

"No."

"WHAAAT?"

That blaringly loud shriek from me got the green lady's attention. She pointed her finger at us and yelled "SEIZE THEM!"

And soon we were running for our lives. Jeff outran me – and I'm pretty fast, so I was surprised.

I screamed out while we were running "What do you MEAN you haven't seen the movie?"

"I mean, I haven't SEEN the movie!"

"Dude, you are making as much sense as the Mad Hatter."

"Who?"

"AAAAAIIIIEEEE! YOU NUMBSKULL! What did your parents show you as a kid, horror movies?"

"I'll tell you when we're not being chased by whatever the heck those things are!"

"You have an idea for getting those robot pirates off our tails?"

"Yes." Jeff pulls out some sort of metal thing, pressed a button, and threw it towards our chasers, yelling, "Catch, metal men!" One of the robot pirates caught the thing before it exploded in a fiery ball. Oil from that pirate catches fire and explodes, and a chain reaction goes off. Soon there was just the two of us and a bunch of exploded pirates. Maleficent was obviously smart enough to vanish before she became flambé.

I stared at the pyro whose eyes shone with a mischievous glint.

"WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU THINKING?" I yelled after I caught my breath.

"I was thinking of getting those things off our tails!" That grin he had, however, made me think this kid did this for fun

"That could've very easily KILLED me! That pirate was this close to me when it exploded! I-" I thought I saw some movement at the window of the firehouse. "Oh no."

"What?"

"I think we need to skidaddle," I whisper.

"Why exactly?"

"I'll explain later." Soon I saw a black fob on the ground – with a red button. "Dude, did you leave this here?"

"No."

"I wonder what the button does." I press it—

And I wake up. Bummer.
