Welcome, my viewers. Today is an important day, because today is the day that I bring back a series I scrapped when I started this account. Today is the day I revive the Universal Chronicles (under a new name, of course). I bring to you retromania's request. This story was inspired by The Beatles Movie, Yellow Submarine. Enjoy!
"It was 20 years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play.
They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile."
Music was playing in the land of Candy Town, where everyone always lived in harmony. Jelly Beans, chocolate bars, lollipops, and caramels alike danced to the beautiful music that echoed through the land. However, while every candy we saw in front of us was filled with peace and joy, an rage-filled race of evil candies lurked in the shadows. They were known as Nerds, and they were mean. They were gray, bumpy all over, and were very reclusive in nature. They lived under the rule of their king who hated the music and joy just as much as his race did. They would occasionally attack, but no attack would be as bad as this.
While these candies danced and frolicked, the Nerds were preparing for an attack that would turn the tables. No longer would they live in the darkness, and be forced to hide. They were going to make the place they lived just as gray as they were. They readied their cannons, which fired gray bubbles that exploded. The bubbles fired and spread grayness on the unsuspecting candies below. The candies screamed in fright, as they ran helplessly. One candy was hit directly and froze in place. The cannons were then fired in a rapid manner. Several more candies were being frozen at a faster rate.
One particular candy, appropriately named Caramella, ran to the castle outside the town. She ran to the king, a tall human man with silver hair, and yet still looked young. He wore a black suit and a green waistcoat. In his hand was a silver and black cane, almost resembling a staff. On his head was a ornate gold crown. "King Edward, we are under attack!" Caramella shouted in a panic. "What do we do?"
The king raised his hand and said. "Be calm, my faithful subject. I know of the Nerd's attack. Make sure the remaining people flee to safety. In the meantime, I have a duty I must uphold." Caramella and King Edward exited the castle, and saw the havoc raised upon the town. They both split up, with Caramella helping the fleeing denizens. King Edward went into the back of the castle to a shed. He opened it and pressed a button. The roof of the shed opened up and a great hot air balloon inflated and flew into the sky. "Find people who can help us. I'm putting my faith in you," King Edward stated in hope. He raised his cane like a sword and ran from the castle and into the town.
That's the chapter! Unlike my other stories, there are no chapter titles. Instead, a line from a Beatles song will be written at the beginning of each chapter. I know that no Wonka characters are appearing in this chapter, but they will be in the next chapter. Stay tuned and have a great day!
