.Music Night
Chapter One
Rock on!
Zebedee was very frustrated at the minute. It was another band rehearsal and as usual, everything was mucked up. The only one doing it right was Dylan as usual. He hoped nothing would be like this when they actually performed. But in his prison Zeebad was very annoyed. He was trying to have a snooze because he had trouble sleeping at night. The noise was making him more angry. "Curses! Who keeps making that terrible noise?" he said angrily. He then conjured up a snowy crystal ball to see what was going on. He saw Dougal and the others playing the instruments. "So they're the ones who're making that awful racket! I'm going to put a stop to it at once!" he yelled as he vanished.
Zebedee was with Sam. He was very stressed and tired at the moment because he too was having trouble sleeping at night. He then saw a blue flash of light as Zeebad appeared. This terrified Sam but Zebedee tensed up at this. He watched as Zeebad iced the band instruments so they couldn't play them and bother him with the noise. "What did you do that for? Unfreeze them now or e-else!" Sam said but stuttered. Zeebad laughed at this. He then pushed Sam to the ground. Zebedee then helped him up to his feet. "I iced them because your precious friends were bothering me with their noise!" he told him. He then scowled at Sam. "I'll see you later Sam!" he growled as he vanished back into the Roundabout. Zebedee wasn't happy about what Zeebad had done. He saw the look on Sam's face and understood. "Don't worry Sam. I won't let him hurt you! I know he made you do his evil work but let's just say the power of friendship weakens him. I wonder if I can unfreeze the instruments." He said calmly to him. Sam felt relieved by his words but was still worried. He knew that Zeebad could always reach him because of his weakness to evil because he followed orders easily. Because he was a soldier, the others thought he was brave and willing to fight but he wasn't like that. He was actually afraid but kept it hidden so others couldn't use it to their upper hand. He also was kind hearted and was friends with the others even though it took a little help from Zebedee. Zebedee understood that he was scared and nervous about Zeebad's threat but cared for Sam. After Zeebad had been put back inside his prison, the others couldn't tell if Sam was good or not but Zebedee had always thought the best of him. He watched as Sam went back on top of the Roundabout nervously. He was the one that guarded Zeebad. Florence and the others had seen Zebedee unfreeze the instruments and realised what had happened. Dylan saw anxiousness on Sam's face and wondered what was wrong. "Zeebad showed up and iced the instruments. He also threatened Sam about seeing him later. That's why he's so worried." Zebedee explained. Dylan was angry at this. "Zeebad always causes damage to my karma! Now he's trying to freak Sam out and wreck the band!" he said. The others agreed. Dylan then calmed down as he started playing the guitar. Zeebad watched this from his icy prison. "I'll show you "bad karma" when I destroy Music Night forever!" he thought angrily as his hand glowed with icy magic.
It was night time in the Village and everybody was asleep except for Zebedee. He could never sleep so well after Zeebad's last attempt to conquer the world and freeze it. Sam had fallen asleep on top of the Roundabout. Zeebad laughed at this as he appeared there and grabbed Sam's sleeping form. He brought him into his prison and strapped him to a table. "Now Zebedee will get a surprise when I'm through with you!" he cackled evilly as icy magic surrounded Sam. It then went into his chest where his diamond was and disappeared. Sam was beginning to awake. Zeebad then used some more of his magic and made him pass out. When he was finished, he put Sam back on top of the Roundabout again. He'd cast a Personality Modification spell on him which changed Sam's warm and loving personality into one of hate and power… Zebedee could tell something wasn't right but he didn't know what. But he could feel it coming from Sam. He then vanished and appeared on top of the Roundabout. He then put a gloved hand to his friend's chest. The cause of it was in his friend. "Oh No! Zeebad cast a Personality Modification Spell on you! He must be trying to get you to hurt the Village or something." He said. He then shot a blast of fiery magic at Sam's chest and it disappeared inside. Sam then woke up. "Hey Zeb what're you doing out here?" he asked curiously. "I had to put a spell on you to stop you from… from doing something bad, my friend." He told him sadly. Sam was confused by this. "What do you mean?" he asked Zebedee. He sighed before going on. "Zeebad… He did something to you. He cast a spell on you to change you on the inside to someone like him. But don't worry, I put a spell on you to stop it from affecting you. He must be up to something." He said to him.
Sam understood. Maybe he should leave the Village because of this. He saw the look on Zebedee's face. It was one of sadness mixed with anger. "But maybe… the power of friendship can help! You said it weakens Zeebad. But if it doesn't work, I… I might have to leave so that none of my friends get hurt." Sam told him. Zebedee froze in fear at this. He hoped the power of friendship could help or he'd lose his best friend. Zeebad laughed at thiks cruelly. "I've finally found old Zeb's weakness! Now nothing can stop me now!" he thought as he went to work…
