They thought they had won. They thought it was all over.
Ever since the famous heroes of Disney World known as the Kingdom Keeper defeated the evil force of Disney Villains known as the Overtakers, twice, they had thought it was done.
First the Overtakers kidnapped the keepers and tortured them, planning to feed them to their leader, Chernabog after. Unfortunately, that ended with Chernabog and the other leaders, Hades and Maleficent, getting locked up in an Underworld, unable to escape.
But the Overtakers were not done.
Next they used a powerful curse on the leader of the Kingdom Keepers, Finn Whitman, and turned him into an evil being who called himself the Dark One. He almost succeeded in releasing the captive leaders, until his girlfriend, Amanda Lockhart, broke the curse with true love's kiss, thwarting the Overtaker's plans again.
After that, the keepers had finally thought the Overtakers had given up. It turned out they did at first, but someone motivated them to not give up, and promised them total victory in exchange for leadership.
And that is the reason the Kingdom Keepers, all ten high school children, were heading off to meet with Wayne, their mentor, to discuss the new plans that could threaten all of Disney.
Finn as usual always woke up first, in the middle of Main Street Plaza. Every time he woke up in the past, he would look up at the partner's statue and see Walt Disney with Mickey Mouse. But now it was different. The statue of Mickey was no longer there. When he became the Dark One, the keepers revived Mickey so he could lead them to defeat him. Ever since then, Mickey was real and living in the parks.
Following Finn was usually Amanda and her sister Jess. Both of them were unique girls known as Fairlies, who had special powers that they were born with. There was also another member of the Kingdom Keepers who was a Fairlie, and who helped save the keepers from being eaten. Her name was Mattie Weaver.
After Amanda and Jess came Dell Philby and Terry Maybeck, followed by Dillard Cole and Greg Luowski.
Then after all the boys arrived, the last people to appear were Mattie, Charlene Turner, and Willa Angelo.
All ten of those kids were the Kingdom Keepers. Normal and ordinary kids by day, but by night they were heroes of Disney, surrounded by glowing blue light, which was their DHIs.
The keepers always stuck together, promising that nothing would ever separate them, and not the Overtakers.
But on this fateful night, that was all going to change.
After everyone woke up, they all grouped together and discussed the plan.
"Alright guys," said Finn. "We all know why we were summoned here."
Everyone nodded.
"Wayne has summoned us," said Philby. "Says something has happened and if it is not dealt with, we could be doomed."
"Lovely topic for discussion," said Maybeck.
"No doubt it's the Overtakers," said Dillard. "Who else could it be?"
"That's what we are going to find out," said Finn. "So off we go to Wayne's apartment!"
Everyone nodded and headed off towards the old man's house.
When they got there, they knocked on the door walked inside.
Wayne was sitting on the couch. Sitting next to him was Mickey Mouse, the Legend, himself.
"Hello children," said Wayne.
"Howdy everyone!" said Mickey.
"Hi guys," said Finn.
"I am sorry that I have to call you back now, but we are facing a disaster," said Wayne.
"It's the Overtakers isn't it?" asked Amanda.
Wayne nodded.
"What are they up to this time?" asked Willa. "What's their "brilliant" scheme this time?"
Wayne shook his head.
"This is far worse than we have ever faced," said Wayne. "Mickey tell them."
Mickey nodded.
"One of the characters was spying on Overtakers discussing secret plans," he said. "He said that the Overtakers got themselves new leaders, and now they have created a curse that is going to transform all of Florida."
"What do you mean?" asked Charlene.
"This curse is a powerful and vile one," said Wayne. "It is meant for one purpose, to change all of Florida and transform it into a land where the Overtakers rule over everything and everyone."
"What!?" said all the keepers.
"That's not all," said Mickey. "This curse shall not only wipe out and alter the memories of everyone affected by it, but it has special plans for you guys."
"What special plans?" asked Jess timidly.
"It will give you guys false lives, horrible lives, lives meant for you all to suffer while the Overtakers bask in their long awaited victory. You will not remember who you are, nor know each other. You will be cursed, for all of eternity."
"No!" yelled Finn. "They can't do this! We can't let this happen! I don't want to lose you guys, especially Amanda!"
Amanda who was now afraid hugged Finn. He hugged her back.
"How can we stop this? asked Luowski.
"The curse is going to be activated tonight," said Wayne. "Most likely anytime soon! Your only hope is to head to the Overtaker's hideout, which has been underneath the Haunted Mansion, and stop them from activating the curse."
"No problem!" said Finn. "We won't let the Overtakers win!"
Wayne sighed.
"I must warn you, these new leaders are much worse than the old ones," he said. "From what Mickey told me, they are almost similar to Chernabog, Hades, and Maleficent, but claim much more powerful."
"I understand," said Finn. "But I still won't let them win! Right guys?"
Everyone cheered.
"Now let's go stop the Overtakers!" Finn yelled.
Everyone ran out of the apartment and headed towards the Haunted Mansion.
Wayne sighed and stood up.
"Where are you going?" asked Mickey.
"To get the only thing that can save us if they fail," said Wayne.
"If they do fail, what will happen to us?" asked Mickey. "What will happen to my friends? What will happen to Disney?"
"Most likely Disney will be wiped out," said Wayne. "The curse will make it so Disney doesn't even exist."
Mickey sighed.
"Our fate rests in their hands," he said. "They are the only ones who can stop this."
"They are our only hope," said Wayne.
Here it is! The first chapter for the finale book in the Only Hope series. This is just the beginning though. Will the keepers win, or will they fall to the curse? Stay tuned for much more.
See you next update! Don't forget to review dearies!
