I fell in love with Lazy Town and I decided to write a fanfic. The first chapter is a bit long sorry. I do have other fic under msboku. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
When lighting strikes!
A typical day in Lazy Town. The sun was peeking its way through the clouds, it was warm and the kids were playing pirate and cowboys outside. A rather odd combination but it made for more interesting playtime.
Pirate pixel of the the 7 seas was on his ship getting ready to capture a Stingy cowboy when his email signal went off.
'Ohhh. I hope this is it!' He said anxiously. He haphazardly tossed the net over Stingy and pulled out his travel computer.
Stingy hollered at the net plopped on his head. 'Hey! This is MY net! You can't capture me with my own net!' He yelled watching Pixel run off taking off after him.
'Yeeees!' He yelled jumping and hopping excitedly. 'Its here! It's here!' He jumped off the boat and started towards his house.
'Hey, where are you going?' Stephanie chimed in.
' I've got to go! The new upload is here!" he yelled excitedly disappearing into house.
'Well, I don't think we will be seeing Pixel for a few days.' She said adjusting her cowgirl hat. She looked out of the corner of her eye and saw pirate trixie who pointed a ballon sword at her catching her off guard.
'Ha! I have you now you scurvy cowpoke! You'll be walking the plank on my watch!'
Stephanie was about to protest but it wouldn't do any good. She was captured.
"Hey! Why don't we go check out Pixels new game?"
"Yeah it might be the only way we see him this week."
They laughed and headed for Pixels house.
Meanwhile. Cowboy Ziggy approached the ship which was now abandoned. He struggled but managed to climb aboard the ship and stake claim!
'I, cowboy Ziggy, take this pirate ship and all its candy!'
He looked up. 'Now the hard part. The only way to win the game is to get the flag at the top in the crows nest. It's really high up there. I hope I can reach it."
He was a little scared but he remembered what Sportacus said. Be brave a little at a time. He started to climb. Small whimpers escaped his mouth.
'Its ok. I'm almost there.' He grabbed the next rope hand over foot. 'If I can just reach it I might not have to climb all the way up.' He was only a foot away. He stretched his hand as far as it could go. 'I'll have to grab that last rope.' But when he did he didn't realize it was loose and he swung like the pirates of yesteryear. 'Ahhhhhhhhh!' He yelled. As it flung him over a branch of a tree and he looped around and around until the rope could no longer loop and he was holding on to the rope with dear life.
'Helllllllllllp!'
Sportacus on his airship doing his morning workout when- Beep beep beep. "Someone's in trouble!" he spun around. "Door!" He said stepping on to the platform. "Ziggy" he jumped off the platform onto the streets of Lazy Town. He flipped and turned and jumped his way to Ziggy.
Ziggy, hanging on, could feel the branch start to give way. "Uh oh."
Sportacus scooped up a skateboard and hopped on at full speed.
The branch snapped!
Sportacus flew off the skateboard and caught Ziggy, in mid flip, just before hitting the ground. "Gotcha!"
"Oh thank you Sportacus! Thank you!"
Sportacus set Ziggy on his feet. "You know Ziggy, I think you get stuck up in the trees almost as much as the kitten." He laughed.
Ziggy chucked with Sportacus. "I was trying to capture the flag."
The wind picked up followed by a rumble of thunder.
"Huh?"
"Looks like a storm is on the way. Let's make sure everyone is safe."
"I check at pixels! I think I saw them go to his house." Ziggy took off.
"I'll check on the Mayor and Bessie. And meet you over there."
The wind picked up and it grew darker and the thunder grew closer.
Ziggy bolted to Pixels house. He ran to the door knocking wildly as the thunder became louder. Ziggy was becoming frantic.
"Pixel! Pixel! Pixel!" He knocked and yelled. The door suddenly opened and Ziggy flew inside.
All the kids were looming with Pixel, over the computer.
"Hey! Is everyone here? It looks like there is gonna be a big storm." He said catching his breath.
Everyone replied with a distracted 'uh huh'
"What are you guys doing, huh?" He joined the others.
"We're waiting for the big download to Pixels new game." Trixie replied "he won't let us play anything till it comes in."
"That download should be mine."
"Stingy." Stephanie said putting her hands on her hips.
"YEA! It's starting!" His fingers hit some keys and nervously moved over the enter button. "Enter." He pushed the key and watched wide eyed as the download began.
"So, what is this big download anyway?" Stephanie asked watching the screen.
"It's the new expansion upload to my Woodland Warriors game! It's the introduction of the warrior princess only to be released to the top online gamers for the Wooldland games, which I'm one of!' He said proudly.
"That's pretty cool. "
"Gee Pixel, it sounds like you're in love with her." Trixie joked.
"How come you never told is about this game?" Ziggy asked
"Yea." All the kids agreed.
"I don't know it's just something that's...mine. " he said turning back to the download.
"What?" Stingy protested.
There was a loud clap of thunder that made the kids jump.
"Maybe you should wait until after the storm passes." Stephanie suggested.
"Yeah. It's getting scary out there. I hope Sportacus is ok."
"Sportacus?" Trixie said
"Yeah. He went to check on Bessie and the Mayor."
Sportacus jumped and flipped and made it to the Mayors house. Thunder clapped louder overhead followed by a bolt of lightning off in the distance. The wind blew harder. Sportacus knocked on the door. "Mayor? Are you here?" He knocked again.
The door opened. "Oh, Sportacus! Come in. Come in." Mayor Milford Meanswell, Stephanie's uncle, a stout good hearted fellow who was in charge of Lazy Town, stepped aside to let Sportacus in.
Sportacus entered. "Thank you, mayor. I wanted to see if you and Bessie were alright. There seems to be a bad storm heading this way."
No sooner had he said that, another clap of thunder, louder than the one before, sounded overhead.
"Oh dear! I hope Stephanie is alright. Maybe I should go find her."
"She's fine. She's over at Pixels. I'd better go see if Bessie is ok.."
"Milford! Where are the blue plates?" She hollered from the kitchen.
Sportacus smiled. " I guess she's ok."
BOOM! Thunder growled which penetrated the lair of Robbie Rotten who was fast asleep and fell out of his orange chair.
"What? What was that horrible noise? Is someone firing a cannon?" Thunder overhead shook his lair. "This is worse than those noisy kids!" He picked himself off the floor. "Can't a handsome guy, like myself, get his beauty sleep?" He looked at his alarm clock.
"It's not even noon yet."
He marched, arms swinging left and right, up the stairs to his periscope, to which he would often spy on the kids and come up with plans to make his life lazier and restful.
He pulled down the periscope and looked to see what was happening. A flash of lightning made him jolt backwards.
"Woah!" He slowly peered back through the lens moving around to see the sky was dark as the storm got closer. He saw the light on at Pixels house. He turned and looked around the rest of Lazy Town. He came upon the Mayors house. In the window he saw Sportacus and the mayor talking.
"Grrrr. It's Sportaloon. Why can't the storm just blow him away in his airship?" Just then he stood straight up. "So why can't it? I could somehow give his airship just a little nudge and he would go running after it out of Lazy Town FOREVER!" Chuckling he looked back through the lens. "Hmm..." He went back to his spying.
"Well, I'd better go check on he the kids." Beep beep beep! He gasped. "Someone's in trouble!"
"Oh dear! I hope the children are ok."
"I gotta go! Stay safe!" He went into his signature move and bolted off.
Rain started pouring down hard. Sportacus moved his goggles over his eyes. Thunder and lighting raged overhead. He hoped he was not going to become a moving target.
Robbie spotted Sportacus who was simply running. He noticed in the darkness of the storm, his crystal glowing bright. "Oh! Who is he saving this time?"
"Pixel, you can get the download later. That lightning is awfully close." Stephanie cautioned.
"It's almost done. Come on. Come on." He repeated anxiously.
Ziggy went to the window. "Hey, it's really coming down out there! Huh? Wait! Is that Sportacus?"
Everyone ran to the window. Pixel positioned himself between the window and his computer. He looked between both.
"His crystal is glowing!" Stingy yelled.
"He is coming this way!" Trixie pointed out.
"Who could he be saving? We're all here." Pixels stated. "Aren't we?"
The door burst open and a wet Sportacus entered. He pulled up his goggles and looked at all the kids confused. Trying to brush off the wet from his clothes. "Is everyone alright?"
They all looked around and nodded. He looked down. "Why is my crystal still beeping?" He closed his eyes for a moment. "It's something outside! I don't understand. I have to find out" he returned his goggles over his eyes and ran back outside.
"Be careful!" Stephanie yelled.
He knew it was dangerous but he had to find out who needed help. Rain stung his face as he looked around.
Robbie pulled back. "What is Sportakook doing out there? Doesn't he know it's dangerous to be out in a lighting storm? Hm?" He continued to watch.
Sportacus looked around trying to follow the feeling where the crystal was leading him was still at Pixels house! The rain beat down on him hard. He did his best to block it from his vision. Thunder roared louder. The lighting was dangerously close.
"Hello! Is anybody there?" He yelled.
"What's happening?" Stingy yelped.
"I don't know. I think he's yelling for someone!" Stephanie hollered over the sound of the pouring rain and increasing thunder. "I hope he's ok!"
Pixel looked at his computer. Two more bars and the download will be complete.
"Pixel you have to turn off your computer!" Trixie piped up.
"Oh..." He sat back down at his computer and slowly reached for the power button giving the download time to complete.
"HELLO!" He yelled over the thunder and pouring rain. The thunder boomed and the rain intensified even more. Sportacus was nervous. He had no idea what or who he was looking for. Only that his crystal glowed brightly. He kept looking around trying not to be the target of the lighting. The loudest clap of thunder Sportacus had ever heard was almost deafening.
Pixel eyed his computer. "One more bar and..."
Sportacus could feel the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. That was not a good sign. But he couldn't give up. Suddenly multiple bolts of lightning hit Pixels satellite dish.
"Pixel!" Everyone yelled.
He immediately turned off the power.
There was a flash and all the lights went out. Everyone screamed and huddled and ducked in the middle of the room.
Robbie saw the lighting hit the satellite dish. "Wow! Has That blue elf finally lost his mind? Get out of there!" He yelled. He pulled back again. "What am I saying? Maybe he'll get zapped to another dimension." He chuckled at the thought and continued to watch.
Sportacus looked up and saw lightning as it danced on and off and around the dish. This was it but what was it? It formed into a big ball in the sky over the dish. Something was happening in the center of it. It flashed a bright light, to which, Sportacus covered his eyes.
Once it disappeared he looked up and saw and saw someone falling. He quickly shimmied up the side of pixels house, boots slightly slipping as he did so. He pulled himself up on the satellite dish, leapt off it and grabbed the falling figure.
He spun his free arm around, pointed it towards the antenna to the dish. A thin rope came out of his arm band being led by a small grappling hook It spun several times around it making it possible for Sportacus to swing safely to the ground.
The kids huddled. "What happened?" Ziggy asked. "Where'd Sportacus go?"
Suddenly there was a small bit of light as Pixel shined a flashlight. "Hang on. I've got emergency power generator." He knelt down under his desk and flipped a switch and there was dimmed light in the room now. The kids were still in the middle the room when the front door burst open.
Everyone let out a scream. Once they saw it was Sportacus they let out a sigh of relief.
He had someone over his shoulder. All the kids looked from the other side of the couch.
As they watched, in the window popped up a pair of watchful eyes from Robbie's periscope to get a closer view.
"Who is that, huh Sportacus?" Ziggy asked.
Sportacus bent down and removed the person from his shoulder.
"I don't know." He stood up and saw a woman. Long blond hair, wearing a leather dress that draped around her waist. Arm bands worn on her upper arms with the same material pleated around her arm and leather boots on her feet. As he set her upright, he pulled up his goggles and he was now aware she was not moving. Her eyes closed. She just stood there like a statue. He tilted his head.
Stephanie leaned forward. "Who is it, Sportacus?"
"I don't know." He shrugged. "She came from above Pixels satellite dish."
Pixel edged his way next to Sportacus and stood there, frozen.
Sportacus looked at her. He looked for a few more seconds then spoke. "Hello? Are you...ok?" He gently tapped her shoulder. He looked puzzled. He was about to speak when Trixie noticed Pixel.
"I think it's contagious. What's wrong with Pixel?"
Their attention shifted. Pixel stood there, mesmerized.
"Pixel?" Sportacus looked at him Waving his hand in front of his face. "Pixel, are you alright?"
"It looks like he's in love." Trixie chuckled.
"Pixel!" Sportacus moved in between to block the view. "Pixel!" He said loud enough to snap him out of his trance.
Pixel looked past Sportacus at her. "It's her." He said softly in wide eye wonderment.
"Who?" Everyone yelled in unison.
"Elena Adrielle."
"Who?" They all repeated.
"She's the Elven princess from my Woodland Warriors game. Right here in my house. "
"Oh great!" Robbie complained. "Another person in lazy town. Wait, did he say princess? Hmm."
He couldn't get a good view of her because some of the kids were in the way.
All he saw was her blond hair that ran down her back. "Arg! Will you kids get out of my way? I can't see!" He scowled. "No! This is too much! "He pushed his periscope away. And it slowly started to roll back.
"Another person in lazy town? Next thing she'll be running and dancing With ten rest of them! Argh! I'm going over there to put a stop to this! I won't stand for it!" Just as he finished talking-Bonk! His periscope hit him in the head knocking him to the floor.
"She's the Elven princess from my Woodland Warriors game. "
"You mean that's what you were downloading? Her?" Stingy said moving next to pixel
"Elven?" He looked at her. He turned back to Pixel. "Pixel, what going on?" Sportacus asked firmly.
"I was downloading a special expansion from my game that only 5 top online gamers get. Elena was the new character being downloaded for beta testing. I was going to go on a quest to free the princess to unite and lead the woodland elves against-"
"Wait." Sportacus interrupted. "You mean she is-from a computer game?"
Pixel nodded.
Stephanie watched Pixel who seemed smitten with the new arrival. She wasn't sure why but, she didn't like it. Not that her and Pixel had anything but it did bother her.
Pixel handed Sportacus the paper with the information about the game and the princess on it. He looked at the picture and back at her. "Amazing." He said.
"Mine!" Stingy declared.
"Stingy!" Trixie yelled.
"What? She's not yours she's mine. It's my game!"
Pixel and Stingy continued to argue and Stephanie and Trixie joined in with their concerns all talking at the same time.
Sportacus looked at the picture again and at the woman who stood before him, ignoring for the moment, the rather loud discussion going on behind him, he took his hand and slowly lifted her hair to reveal a slightly pointed ear. "Just Amazing." He whispered. And very curious. 'Is she really an elf?' He wondered. He felt her hair. It was soft and felt real. He held her hand between both of his feeling for any sign of life. It was not warm as a persons body should be, nor was it cold. "Very strange."
Stephanie caught glance of this. 'Was Sportacus falling under the spell too?' She thought.
Sportacus let go of her hand. "Hm." He thought for a moment.
"What is it, Sportacus?" Ziggy asked as he was the only one not in the arguing going on.
He knelt down to Ziggy. "I really don't know. This is not like anything I've ever encountered before. What do you. Think?"
Ziggy thought from a moment. "I think we're in for a long day."
"I agree Ziggy. I agree."
