Into the Labyrinth

By: TheMadHatterandMarchHare

Summary: Step inside a world where imagination soars, goblins are a man's best friend, and where everything is possible and nothing is what it seems. Labyrinth/TinMan crossover.

A/N: Well hello! This is my very first fanfic which was inspired by the magical movie that is Labyrinth. I spiced it up by adding characters from my favorite show at the moment, Tin Man. By the way, the characters might be a little OOC but I worked hard on this and I hope that you enjoy it!

Disclaimers: I do not and will not ever own Tin Man, Labyrinth, Wyatt Cain or Jareth. Darn…

Chapter 1: Prologue:

The open window let a warm summer breeze sweep DG as she stared out of it while sitting in a comfortable black couch hidden from everybody. It was a bright and sunny day in the O.Z and DG thought that the weather was taunting her. She was currently in a secluded corner in the library hiding from Tutor and Wyatt Cain. She wasn't in the mood to deal with them right now. She sighed, she had been thinking about all the changes that have happened so far. It had been 3 annuals since the Sorcerer's demise and things had been going well throughout the O.Z.

A few months after the battle, Glitch received his brain back. The Royal Family had hired famous alchemists from around the land to help Glitch. The process was long and grueling but it was a success. Of course, Glitch had to go to a rehabilitation center along with a few other people who had lost their brains and got them back to heal.

DG was quite worried that Glitch would become stuffy like Ambrose used to be. Her worries were quickly diminished when she saw that Glitch and Ambrose were both combined into one being. She would see Ambrose come out when he was needed for his political views and brilliant inventions, while Glitch would come out to entertain DG and Azkadellia. Everyone else called him Ambrose but only DG, Cain, Raw, and Azkadellia were the ones who are able to call him Glitch.

Raw had stayed with DG for a few weeks until he decided that he had to return to his people. He became a sort of father figure towards Kalm, and he recently became in charge of his people who were in need of a strong leader just like him. Raw couldn't have been anymore happier.

Wyatt Cain was appointed as DG's bodyguard after her parents congratulated him for his efforts on protecting their angel and he had agreed to protect her as long as he lives. He still kept in touch with Jeb, who was currently dating a blonde guild fighter who he had met a while ago. Everyone could tell that Cain was a lot happier now even though he really didn't show it. DG and Cain became really close and you couldn't see one without the other hot on her heels. People always smiled when they heard the playful banter between their princess and the tin man. It was good to hear laughter in a time of reconstruction.

Speaking of reconstruction, Azkadellia was a whole different story.

After the Sorcerer's downfall, Azkadellia decided to step down from the throne and let her mother rule for the time being. When she was ready, she would retake the throne. However, she still played an important role in the reconstruction of the O.Z. She visited places throughout the land and helped out as much as possible. She was slowly gaining trust from the people but she knew she had a long way to go. Everyone could see that Azkadellia was slowly coming out of her shell and turning into a very sweet, gentle and beautiful woman-the same one that had enchanted hearts in her childhood years.

However, she had left her place in the heart of someone close to her before the Sorcerer had possessed her.

The fire that had dimmed between the elder princess and the queen's advisor was beginning to light up again. When the Queen offered him his position back as her advisor, he kindly declined but asked if he could become the bodyguard of Azkadellia, which the Queen happily let him take.

Glitch had become Azkadellia's rock; he had helped her cope with the aftermath of the Sorcerer's possession. They started hanging out a lot and he would hold her and whisper loving words when she would break down. The friendship they developed, built into a more intimate relationship. You could tell that both were madly in love with each other, just like how they used to be in love with each other in more innocent times. Glitch was the perfect medicine to cure Az's depression and loneliness. They were each a perfect piece to each other's puzzle. An annual later, the couple married in an elegant and public ceremony. Az glowed in her stunning white gown while Glitch shined in his clean cut tuxedo. It was a wedding to remember. Another annual passed and they had their first child who they named: Toby Ahamo Gale.

Toby was a very cute baby to say the least. He had his mother's hair and eyes, but you could tell that he was going to have Glitch's sense of humor and Ambrose's genius mind. Az and Glitch loved their baby so much you could tell that the baby had impacted both of their lives in a good way. Everything was at peace in their world.

Of course, not everything was peachy in DG's world.

People still had a slight distrust on the eldest princess. Due to that distrust, DG was usually the one stuck babysitting Toby in case Az and Glitch had to go to important meetings with the council. Az only trusted her sister with her baby and no one else, not even the guards.

DG hated that sometimes.

She loves Toby, she really does but he could be such a pain sometimes. Az didn't even ask her if she had any plans, she simply left him in her room and told her that she would be back later. She felt like she was being shunned while Toby was bathing in the glory.

Even her parents didn't let her have a say in babysitting Toby. They simply told her that since she wasn't going to be Queen, she should help out her sister who was busy learning and reconstructing the O.Z. Nobody cared what she had to say anymore, she was just stuck with babysitting duties while her friends and family could go out and not have a worry in the world.

It wasn't fair!

Cain had laughed at her when she first told him how unfair it was. He said that Az had a lot more responsibilities than her and to just suck it up and deal with babysitting. She had yelled at him and had run away. Since she was in a sour mood, she decided to skip her lessons with Tutor and just be by herself for the day. The library seemed like the perfect option to hide.

She had been currently sitting in the black comfy couch for the past hour and she was getting really bored. She decided, that she should just read a book to pass time and boredom. She knew her mother would kill her once she found out she had skipped lessons, but she couldn't care less.

The library was huge, to say the least. It was decorated with elegant chairs, couches and portraits of the Royal Family and a big chandelier was the main attraction there. All the books were placed in high book shelves that were always clean and orderly and the walls were a light blue and white color. Around the library were clocks strategically placed in case someone forgot how long they had been in there. The library had a very homely feeling that DG loved plus, it was a good place to hide from a wise teacher and a sharp tin man.

She got up from her comfortable position and slowly walked towards the many bookshelves in the library. She walked around through many aisles, not sure which book to get. She didn't want anything boring or cheesy. She wanted something that would definitely spark her interest.

As she turned the corner, a small book fell out of a random shelf and hit DG in the head. "Hey!" DG said and looked around to see if someone was following her. She was all alone. Maybe it wasn't placed rightthought DG, oh well, might as well put it back where it belongs.

She crouched down to reach for the book and got back up and looked at the book. It was a small book with a reddish cover. The title however, sparked her interest.

The Labyrinth

She looked at the front and back cover of the book to neither see who had written it nor the date it was published. It simply contained the story and the title. At first, DG was a bit suspicious about the book. Why did it fall on her head? Why doesn't it say the author's name or when it was published? Maybe this book is really old, and that's why it has no information. She thought.

She shrugged it off and decided to give the book a shot.

She found a comfy blue couch and lazily laid down on it and began to read it.

"Give me the child.

Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered,

I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that you have stolen.

For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great..."

She frowned and then she repeated the last part again.

"For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great…"

DG sighed. She had become immersed with the book and had been trying for a long time to memorize the climatic ending dialogue. She had finished the book a while ago and was trying so hard to memorize the last part. She groaned.

Damn. I can never remember that line!

The last line was always the killer. She had memorized all of it except for that damn last line. She tried for a few more minutes, repeating the whole thing to see if her memory could be jogged. After a few moments had passed, she gave up. She opened the book and flipped to the last page and read the line.

"You have no power over me."

Now if only she could memorize that line. The old grandfather clock that stood in the corner chimed loudly making DG jump out of her seat and look around. Night had set in and all the stars were twinkling outside. However a few dark clouds were hanging around the sky. She did a double take. How long had she been holed up in the library? Had time really passed by that quickly? She hadn't noticed that she had spent all day in the library!

A frown had formed in her face before it quickly diminished and turned into a look of horror. She slowly looked at the clock and gasped. It was seven o'clock! She had promised Az and her mother that she would look after Toby at six o'clock!

"Oh no! Az and mother are going to kill me!" DG yelled as she ran out of the library toward her sister's chambers with the book in hand.

'Well Az will probably kill me gently after mother has finished me off brutally.'Was DG's last thought as she ran full speed to her destination making two guards fall on the floor as hurricane DG came by.

"SORRY! CAN'T STOP, GOTTA RUN!" yelled DG at the guards, who were groaning and holding their heads from being knocked to the floor by a very late princess.

Little did she know that a white owl had been watching her all day through a window….
