Prologue
The wind howled as the rain came pouring down, on the dark night. The rain splattered on the wooden frame of a bed frame, deep in the forest. Beneath the frame is tunnel, leading to a place so dark, even the moon was afraid to shine there. Deep in the caverns of the tunnel, yellow eyes peered out onto a globe. They flicked over the blinking lights. The owner of the eyes let out a menacing cackle. "Soon," said a voice smooth like quicksand. "Soon, every last light will be out." He let out yet another menacing cackle. His face was pointed and dark. His eyes shone like a Jack-o-lantern.
Suddenly, a puff of green smoke appeared in front of him. "Ah, Maleficent, how kind of you to join me." He said. From the smoke, two great, curled horns appeared, followed by a green face and a crow, black as night, barely noticeable in the dark. "Pitch Black? You're the one who called me here? What a surprise?" She exclaimed. "Oh, there will be more guests soon, trust me." The boogeyman chimed. A moment later, two sets of quick, short footsteps could be heard, along with the fluttering of wings and long, stomps along the rocks. "Mother, what are we doing here again?" A whiny voice asked. " I told you, honey. We're here to get our happy ending." A voice like silk traveled along the cavern. "And to get revenge on Shrek." A shrill voice added.
"Who are they?" Asked Maleficent incredulously. As Pitch is about to answer a short man walked looking quite disgusted by the company around him. "I am Lord Farquad and if I had my way, all of you freaks would be locked away. The only reason I agreed to work with you worthless creatures is so I may take my revenge on that ogre." He spat out. The other short man said "I'm Rumpeltstiltskin, another enemy of Shrek and these are Prince Charming and Fairy Godmother." The prince stood there with a rather stuck up expression, while the fairy, with her beehive hairdo, looked annoyed at being interrupted.
The boogeyman smiled wickedly, adding to his Jack-o-lantern resemblance. " We are expecting quite a few more guests, I'm just waiting for someone to deliver them for me." He pulled out a lamp from his dark cloak. "The boogeyman carrying around a lamp. That's ironic." The green sorceress mused. "Ah, it's not the lamp itself that is important, but what is within the lamp." Pitch explained. He rubbed his slender, bony fingers against its smooth surface and it began to shake violently. Rumpeltstiltskin shrank back. "That isn't gonna blow, is it?" He questioned worried. "Of course, not. Calm down. I can feel your fear from here." Pitch sniped back. Red smoke started streaming out of the pipe. It started taking shape until a red genie was in front of them.
"Jafar, I only need one wish of you, then I will set you free. I need you to pick up the rest of our guests. " The boogeyman asked. " You're wish is my command." Then, in a puff of red smoke, a myriad of evil creatures were in their midst. Everyone started arguing amongst themselves as to how and why they were there. Pitch stepped into the middle of the cave, immediately in front of the giant globe and cleared his throat. Everyone continued arguing. Maleficent sighed. " You're quite hopeless." She mumbled. She raised her staff and slammed into the ground, freezing everyone. "Listen up, everyone!" She shouted menacingly. She flicked wrist and unfreeze everybody. She then nodded curtly at Pitch and moved out of the way.
"First, I need to make sure that everybody is here." He exclaimed. "Do we have Scar?" "Here, but I wish I was not." A great, dark lion growled out. "How about Drago Bludvist? " A tall man with untamed hair said "The Dragon God is here." Pitch nodded. "Captain Hook?" A hooked hand was raised into the air. "Aye be here." "Cruela De'vil?" "Present." " Hades?" "Here." "Gallaxhar?" "Here." "Ursula? " "Here." "Evil Queen?" "Here." "Vincent?" "Present." "Hans?" "What?" Exclaimed Frollo. Mother Gothel exclaimed "You invited the new guy?" Hans, a tall man with side burns looked offended. "If my two idiots brothers were invited, how could I not be?" He yelled indignantly. The Stabbington brothers walked towards him. "Who you calling idiots, pretty boy?" One of them shoved his shoulder.
"Boys, knock it off. There's more people on my list, but I think all of us are here." Pitch decided. "And exactly why are we in this dump you call a cave?" Hades steamed out. Pitch smiled a crooked smile. "Now we are getting somewhere." He said excitedly. He gestured to his globe. "This globe shows all the children who believe..." "In the guardians, we've all seen your movie, Pitch." Gallaxhar said. "Yes, it shows the children who believe in the guardians, but that's not all. It shows all the children who believe in heroes or good prevailing over evil. It shows children who believe in honesty and other goody two shoe traits. It shows children who believe in everyone you hate." Pitch dragged on.
The evil queen stepped up. "Where are you going with this, boogeyman?" She said, trying to find a motive. "If we take out all the lights...we will rule their world." Pitch grinned. Captain Hook laughed. "And this is gonna work out just like your last plan. None of the children are scared of you anymore." He chortled out. "That's why I need you. Every last one of you. If there are no heroes in the story, the child will move on to the next role model in the story, which will be us. Th ed you will grow up learning trickery, greed, evil, and fear. Just imagine how wonderfully awful they would be." He mused. "And how do you suppose we take the heroes out of the story? Go back in time and rewrite it? In case you haven't noticed, we probably wouldn't be welcome in an animation studio." Scar growled.
Pitch grinned. "Here's the best part. The only way to remove a hero from a story, is to, for lack of a better word, exterminate them." Every evil creatures was wide-eyed with excitement. "Not that I'm complaining, but how does killing them take them out of the story?" Dr. Facilier questioned. "First of all, they must be taken out in their own realm, their realms being either DreamWorks world, Disney world, or Pixar World. As soon as they are gone, they will simply cease to exist in their movies, books, t-shirts, etc." Pitch said. "After they are no longer in their stories, the children will either mimic us or fear us. We will rule their world and our world."
"Aren't you forgetting something, you horribly dressed demon?" Cruela chimed in. "And what would that be, Ms. De'vil?" Pitch groaned. "There is a way for them to come back after they've been eradicated." She explained. "Ha! Do you really think that every single adult will believe in a few children stories?" Pitch chortled. Everyone began to laugh with them. "Please, an average human adult barely believes what's right in front of his eyes, let alone a kid's movie character."
"One thing is missing from your plan, Pitch. How do we break into the heroes strongholds?" Vincent asked. Pitch Black stopped laughing. "How could you ask such a stupid question? Who do you think you are? Why do you think I have gathered these most evil of villains? The dastardly pirates?" He gestured to Hook and Smee. "Or wickedest of witches?" Gesturing to Maleficent, Evil Queen, Fairy Godmother, and Mother Gothel. "Intelligent aliens?" Gallaxhar straightened up. "Vicious of wild animals?" Vincent and Scar let out loud roars. "Are we not more powerful and more vicious than our enemy?" He yelled. A chorus of "No!" came from the villainous army. "Are you with me?" He screamed. A multitude of screams, roars, and evil cackle could be heard echoing through the tunnels.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters.I only own the plot.
A/n- I haven't been on in nearly a year. Woah. Anyway, I wasn't sure where this fit in, cause I didn'the make it specifically for fanfiction, so ithat should technically be in th red crossover category, but I didn't know what other movie to use for it, so here it is. It's also on fiction press. It won'the revolve directly around the guardians, but they will be a big part. There will also be Jelsa. OK. Please review.
