Ed: Hooray! Does this mean I get a chicken?
GW: Uh…sure. Ed. Whatever you say. Anyways, enjoy the first chapter!
The Real Freak
In the city of ToonCity, there was a church that was called Notre Toon, and it was a daily thing in life. As the town of ToonCity goes by, six voices are singing.
Voices: Morning in ToonCity, the city awakes
To the bells of Notre Toon
The fisherman fishes, the baker-man bakes
To the bells of Notre Toon
As the camera zooms in, a fisherman named Eustace Bagg is fishing on a side of a bridge. Just then baker named Timmy Turner came out with bread and put them where the others are outside. A fairy named Cosmo stole a piece, making Timmy and Wanda chase him.
To the big bells as loud as the thunder
To the little bells soft as a psalm
And some say the soul of the city's
The toll of the bells
The bells of Notre Toon
We now stop at a wagon where kids were watching a show happily. We then see six kids in it.
The first is a beautiful teenager with bright blonde hair and light blue eyes. She wore a white dress with two gold clips, sun-shaped earrings, a sparkling blue headband, and golden sandals. With her is a white wolf with violet eyes and a gold collar. This was Sunny Elementia and her wolf, Shiro.
The second is a pretty teen with short black hair and one black and one white eye. She wears a black dress with silver clips, black slippers, and a silver amulet with a moon charm. With her is a black wolf with amber eyes and a black collar with a moon charm. This was Salena Elementia and her wolf, Kuro.
The third was a well-built teenage boy with short brown hair and swampy green eyes. He wears a black shirt with a blue and silver hoodie over it, baggy black shorts with red pockets and a blue criss-cross down the front, and black and gold sneakers. With him was a light blue wolf with dark blue eyes and a light bow around her neck with pink dots on it. This was Wake Elementia and his wolf, Ao.
The fourth was a girl with long raven hair with two green streaks and brown eyes. She wears a green shawl over a brown tank top, a brown skirt, and brown boots. With her was a purple wolf with shiny black eyes and a silk blue collar. Also was a green wolf with light green eyes with a green bandanna with a leaf on it and a wisteria tucked behind her ear. This was Natsura Elementia and her wolves, Murasaki and Murasaki's child, Midori.
The fifth was a boy with platinum blonde hair and black eyes. He doesn't wear a shirt, but wears brown slacks, and brown sandals. He wears a golden chain around his neck with a lightning-bolt charm. With him was a wolf with light yellow fur and bright green eyes and a black collar with spikes on it. This was Thunder Elementia and his wolf Kiiro.
The last was a young girl with short brown hair and light brown eyes. She wears a green long-sleeved shirt with yellow sleeves, dark blue jeans, and white sneakers. She also wears a green bandanna with a yellow heart imprint. With her was a brown wolf with mud-colored eyes and a purple collar. This was Sophie Elementia, the youngest, and her wolf Chairo.
Right now, the siblings were performing to the children of ToonCity.
"Listen, those bell chimes are beautiful aren't they, kodomo? So many colors of sound, and so many changing of moods," Sunny said proudly about Notre Toon's bells.
"Yeah, but I wished they shut up so I can sleep for once," Thunder grumbled, making a few laugh until Wake bonked his brother on the head.
"But of course, they don't ring by themselves, you know," Natsura added happily.
"What do you mean?" Sophie, Midori, and Kiiro asked
"Well, what we mean, our wolf-friends and sister, is that up there, high, high in the dark bell tower of Notre Toon itself, there lies a mysterious bell ringer, that is so mysterious, some say you couldn't see him. And who is he you asked?" Salena asked.
"Who?" Wake said dramatically.
"What could he be?" Natsura continued.
"What is he?" repeated the Wake, interested.
"And how did he come to be there?" Salena continued on.
"How?" Wake said dramatically.
"Oh, zip it, will ya?!" scolded the siblings and wolves shouted irritably as the kids giggled when they whacked their brother.
"Well, since you asked so nicely we are here will tell you," Thunder smirked, crossing his arms.
Sunny, then said mysteriously, in a story-teller fashion, "It is a tale, a tale of a human...and a Freak." As the kids both grin almost wickedly, they continue to sing.
Elementia's: Dark was the night when our tale was begun
Years ago on a snow night, four people were traveling by boat. They were trying their best not to be seen, for you see, they were not human, despised and hunted by the authority of ToonCity, led by the most hated of them all.
One of the people is a young woman. She had short brown hair and a blue and green eye, wearing a blue and white outfit with blue wings. Her name was Yuna. Right now, she was trying her best to calm a baby she had found and couldn't bear to leave it.
The second person was a young girl with yellow hair and green eyes, wearing a yellow outfit with yellowish-white wings. Her name was Rikku, one of Yuna's friends.
And the last person in the boat was a young woman with short silver hair and red eyes, wearing a black outfit with short, black devil wings. Her name was Paine, another of Yuna's pals.
"Quiet that baby, Yuna. He could give us away," said Rikku in concern.
"Yeah, one wrong move and we're done for," agreed Paine, worried that the authorities will ambush them at any moment.
"Quiet, little one," said Yuna, trying to calm the child down.
The Elementia's: Four frightened creatures slid silently under
The docks near Notre Toon
They got off of a boat and approached a seller. A man reached out a hand. He had blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a yellow vest, blue shorts, and sneakers. This was Tidus, Yuna's husband.
"Quick, everyone. We will need four guilders for safe passage into Toon City!" said Tidus, concerned.
Without warning however, an arrow barely missed Tidus' hand. The group looked around and were horrified to see that they were surrounded by many guards that came out of nowhere and surrounding the group.
The siblings: But a trap had been laid for the mystical beings
And they gazed up in fear and alarm
At a figure whose clutches
Were iron as much as the bells
The group turned and gasped as they see a sinister figure coming out of the shadows. He was a tall man on a horse with dark brown hair and dark, cold eyes. He wore a baboon outfit and he stared at the group evilly.
"Naraku!" cried Rikku in horror.
Yes, it was Naraku, the one most feared in ToonCity and the city's Minister of Justice.
Siblings: The bells of Notre Toon
Chorus: Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
Siblings: Naraku longed
To purge the world
Of vice and sin
Chorus: Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
As Naraku glared at the fugitives with hatred, the guards cuffed most of them. Only Yuna remained freed. The woman looked frightened as her friends and love were taken away by the guards of ToonCity. She held onto the baby protectively.
Siblings: And he saw corruption
Everywhere
Except within
"Bring these vermin to the palace of justice!" hissed Naraku evilly.
"You there, what are you hiding?" asked a guard rudely as he saw the baby in Yuna's arms.
"Stolen treasure, no doubt! Take it from her!" Naraku ordered.
"What happened next?" Sophie asked her siblings.
"She ran," said Salena grimly.
Yuna wasted no time. She ran as fast as she could, holding the young baby. Naraku narrowed his eyes as he chased her. The man was not going to let a fugitive freak escape from him. He was feared and hated for very good reasons.
Yuna slid a little and ran the steps as Naraku was almost upon her. Before the man could get too close, Yuna, with all her strength, flew over a steel fence. She sighed in relief. She saw Notre Toon and ran to it. She knew those who claimed sanctuary there was welcomed by the church and could not be touch by the authority of ToonCity, not even Naraku.
Chorus: Dies irae, dies illa (Day of wrath, that day)
Solvet saeclum in favilla (Shall consume the world in ashes)
Teste David cum sibylla (As prophesied by David and the sibyl)
Quantus tremor est futurus (What trembling is to be)
Quando Judex est venturus (When the Judge is come)
The fairy arrived at the door and pounded on the door. She cried, hoping someone could hear her, "Sanctuary! Please give me sanctuary!"
She turned and gasped in horror. Naraku had got by the fence and ran towards her with his horse. "There you are!" he hissed.
A scared Yuna tried to run off but Naraku got close enough for him to seize half of the baby's blanket. Yuna fought hard until the cruel man then struck Yuna maliciously, resulting in the girl to let go and for her to hit the steps too hard. She stoped moving. She was now dead.
'Good riddance to bad trash' thought Naraku.
Then, he heard the baby cry as he said, "What's this? A baby." He opens the blanket up to take a look. His skin was yellow and his head was covered in a small bit of fuzz. As he opened his mouth, Naraku spotted a blue tongue and the breath of the baby was foul.
"What a disgusting creature!" he sneered.
Maleficent looked for a way. This baby was a pitiful disgrace, even for a normal-looking being. It was probably a freak of nature!
Naraku saw a well nearby and an idea came to mind. It might not be the most honorable thing to do, but to him, it was the only way. He got off of the horse and walked to the well. All he needed to do was drop the baby and that would be it. He held the youth over the well, planning to rid the world of it like he did Yuna. Suddenly…
"STOP!"
"Cried the good friar, Friar Lawrence," said Wake with a grin.
Indeed, the person who stoped Naraku from killing off the child was an elderly friar. His name was Friar Lawrence (from 'Romeo & Juliet'), a member of Notre Toon. He went outside to have a walk when he saw what Naraku did. He decided to stop the Minister of Justice, before he committed yet another murderous act.
"This is an unholy demon! I am sending it back to the flames of Hades, where it belongs," stated Naraku cruelly.
Lawrence, however, would have none of it as he kneeled down next to the dead girl as he sang now.
Lawrence: See there the innocent blood you have spilt
On the steps of Notre Toon
"I am guiltless! She ran, I pursued!" protested Naraku. Who is this old man to say he is guilty of anything?
Lawrence: Now you would add this child's blood to your guilt
On the steps of Notre Toon
"My conscience is clear," scoffed Naraku. Why should he be concerned about his own guilt, even though he said he doesn't have any?
Lawrence: You can lie to yourself and your minions
You can claim that you haven't a qualm
But you never can run from
Nor hide what you've done from the eyes,
The very eyes of Notre Toon
Chorus: Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
Lawrence then nods sternly as he points. Naraku looked and saw the statue figures that were all around Notre Toon. Now, Naraku was frightened. If he didn't know any better, he could suspect that these statues were looking accusedly at him. One false move could be a bad one.
Siblings: And for one time in his live
Of power and control
Chorus: Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
Siblings: Naraku felt a twinge of fear
For his immortal soul
The man grew more frightened as he spotted a statue of a lady holding a child. It looked like the statue was staring at him, most likely hating him for what he has done. A lightning-bolt rumbled in the sky. Naraku knew then he could not kill the child, even if he wanted to.
"Very well, then. What must I do?" asked Naraku.
Lawrence then picked up Yuna's dead body. He intended to give her a proper burial. After all, even if she was a non-human, she was still a child of the lord.
"You should care for the child, and raise as your own, thus to make up for this deed," stated Lawrence sternly.
"What?! I'd be settled with this ugly freak, this child of..." Naraku stopped a bit. He was a respected member of the authority and, if he was seen taking care of this creature, he would lose what he gained through fear and the usual. Of course, he had no other choice. But how to make sure he was not seen with this...this wrong creation of nature? The man then came up with a solution. "Very well, then. But on the condition that you let him live with you, in your church
"Live here? Well, alright, but where?" asked Lawrence.
"Somewhere, anywhere!" Naraku snapped, then looked at Notre Toon. Where could he put the child so he would be easily hidden? As he thinks this, he sings himself.
Naraku: Just so he's kept locked away
Where no one else can see
He soon saw the bell tower and an idea came to his head as Naraku said, "The bell tower perhaps. And who knows, our Lord works in mysterious ways." He smirked as he looked at the baby before he then continued to sing.
Naraku: Even this mistake of humanity may
Yet prove one day to be
Of use to me...
The Elementia's continued their story back in the present as they perform a little puppet show for the kids as usual. Wake held a puppet of Naraku holding the child.
Sunny said, "To make sure Naraku-san would remind the child how much of an outcast he was, he gave the child a cruel name. A name that means 'weird'...Ed-kun!"
As the puppet show continued, the young baby now grew up to be a pre-teen as the kids finished their song up.
Siblings: Now here is a riddle to guess if you can
Sing the bells of Notre Toon
Who is the Freak and who is the Human?
Elementia's and Chorus: Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells
Bells, bells, bells, bells
Bells of Notre Toon!!
As the song came to a close, we go from the show to the bell tower as the actual bells ring loudly in the tower. We see the mysterious Ed ringing them as he did since the day he knew how. As the bell rang on, the title appeared...
The Lummox of Notre Toon
Ed: Glowworm, that man is mean to me!
GW: Yes, I know he is Ed! Wait for the rest of the chapters and the other stories. R&R!
