Disclaimer: I own abosulty nothing. Legend...nada. Flint The Time
Detective...I wish!!. Parts of the storyline is mine as well as Alico-
Master *grins* You'll see who she is.
Authors Notes: Hey all. Well, here is a story that I have been working on for quite a while, and I really do hope each one of you all find it good. Its based on the main story Line of the movie Legend. A very well done 1986 Scott film with Mia Sara, Tom Cruise, and Tim Curry. If you haven't seen it, I refer it. Though, My story follows along with Legend exactly, I didn't fully copy, I didn't want to plagerise, but it is also with the F:TTD characters. I thought that the characters in Legend would really match each F:TTD characters and hoping it should make one very interesting story line.
I hope each one of you enjoy this story and find done well. I warn you though, some of the characters' forms will be changed, Not much though, one is Bindi, instead of her snail form, she will only be a sparkle of light. And also, Alico-Master is a unicorn time shifter, but female. She is much like Unita-Master, but her hair and eyes are pink, showing she is feminine. And instead of the time bandits wanting to capture the unicorns as they do the other time shifters, in here, their main goal is for the horns, you'll see. But, on with the story and hope you enjoy, please R&R and don't flame me *Whimpers*.
First, to make things less confusing, here are each of the characters from Legend that the characters from F:TTD will play, they are as follows:
Princess Lily : Sara
Jack : Merlock
Gump : Tony
Oona : Bindi
Browntom : Old Timer
Screwball : Flint w/ Rocky
Darkness : Dark Lord
Pox : Mite
Blunder : Bernie
Blix : Petra
Nell : Jillian
Meg (the bog beast) : Dino
Faeries, elves, gnomes, etc. etc. : Time shifters
Male unicorn : Unita-Master
Female unicorn : Alico-Master
Legend: Flint style
The forest was beautiful, trees and beautiful blooming flowers everywhere. The beams of the morning sun shine within the leaves of the trees, making the mellow forest even more enchanting. Many calls of animals can be heard as of the lovely songs of each bird. Many birds fly around, playfully circling each other.
Amongst some thick brush, red booted feet can be seen, taking each step carefully. A few 'ouches' can be heard from a female as she continues walking through the bushes, obviously having hit a briar patch within. Finally she stops once at the edge of the forest, staring straight ahead. The woman can clearly be seen as Petra Fina. She stairs toward a darkened and gloomy area. A large tree, made now as a castle. She starts toward it, grinning largely. The 'hearts' in her eyes as she nears the castle, a big grin spread happily over her face.
~* * *~ ( A.N. : When you see these, it means it is a change in the scene of the movie. I hope it isn't confusing, I'm sorry if it is, but on with the story. )
The Dark Lord sits back in his chair, staring straight ahead as a few evil beings torture their screaming victims. He shifts in his seat, almost as if waiting impatiently for something or someone. He sits back and takes a deep breath, "Mother night, fold your dark arms above me. Protect me in your black embrace. I sit alone. An empitent exile, the sorce, this presence returns to him." He stops as he turns to the door at the sound of a light knock. "Enter!!!" Petra enters the room quietly, staring at him with googily eyes. "Ahh, Petra, come closer." Indeed, the female time bandit does, literally floating toward the Dark Lord. Once in front of him, she kneels down. "Are you not as lothesome of my time bandits?"
A brief nod comes from Petra, a normal look is now dawned across her face, "Truly master."
The Dark Lord smiles a little, "And is your heart not black and full of hate?"
"Black as midnight, black as pitch, black as in the foulest witch." Petra answers.
He blinks, giving her an odd look. He leans forward, a thin brow arched though is hidden beneath his mask, whispering softly to her "Since when did you speak rhyme?" Petra only sends him a shrug in answer to his question. The Dark Lord nods, sitting back in his seat, "Ahh, I see.." He regains his previous posture. He looks to the side, giving a slight wave of his hand. A sorta of nervous tone to his voice, "Something troubles me. I feel a presence in the forest. A force I have mercifully almost forgotten.."
Petra frowns greatly, leaning forward some, her voice barely above a whisper, "Must be dread indeed to trouble you Lordship.."
He nods, his arm returned to the arm of the chair as it was before. "Looking upon these frail creatures, one could not think they can contain so much power. One could rule the universe with it. You.." He looks down to Petra quickly, lifting his hand again, pointing to her, "Will find them...and destroy them!"
"What do they look like, Lord?" Petra asked cautiously.
"Fool!" The Dark Lord reaches over to the side quickly, grabbing a fork that was upon a table beside him and holds it to her head, "Let this serve as a reminder that this creature is crowned with a single spiral reaching like an atennae straight to heaven!"
Petra stares up at the evil man in front of her, her eyes extremely wide as she makes no movements what-so-ever. Her voice, single-toned, "I get the point, Lord.."
The Dark Lord throws the fork back onto the table to his side, "The two are the strongest of the time shifters. With their powers, we can finally capture each and every one of the time shifters easily. But, each power is held within each horn upon these creatures. I want you to bring the horns to me."
Petra nods gently, pushing herself to a stand, "Where would I look, sire?"
"There is one lure for such disgusting goodness. One bait that never fails." He replies.
"What be this bait? Please? You teach me.." Petra begged.
"Innocense.." He said. "...Innocense..." Petra nods and grins to his reply, then turns around and walks off.
~* * *~
The wind blew gently over the flowered fields. White, yellow, pink, and purple flowers lie across the enchanting field. Lovely petals float about the air. Through a few trees in this field a young girl skips happily down a path, humming softly to herself. She wears a lovely white gown with gold lace placed beautifully upon the dress. She smiles as she continues on through the field, holding a white bouquet of carnations held tightly in her hands.
From a large bush, Petra, Mite, and Bernie watch her quietly. Petra steps forward some, narrowing her eyes some as the princess moves to a small cottage, "Maybe innocent, maybe sweet, ain't half as nice as rotting meat." Petra pauses, making a disgusted face, "Rotting meat? Nice? ...Disgusting!!" She wrinkles her nose, making gagging noises until Mite had to stop her before they are spotted due to all the loud and obnoxious noise. Petra, now having quietened and stopped her gagging looks up to her two flunkies, "Where did that come from!?" She starts to straighten and smooth out her red leather dress. Both send her a small shrug, not knowing where it came from either. She grumbles and turns around, facing the cottage where Sara went.
A soft humming sounds through the fields as Sara approaches the cottage. She circles to the back of the cottage, following after the hums of the woman singing them. Finally, she sees Jillian putting clothes upon the clothes line. She has a clothes pin in her mouth as she starts to hang a sheet up. Sara grins mischieviously as she pulls the clothes line that was tied around a tree, letting it fall to the ground.
Jillain gasps, trying to stop the line from falling to the ground but fails miserably, "Ohh.." After standing she yanks the clothes pin from her mouth and throws it onto the ground, "Bloomin' faeries!" She turns around, now gathering up the dirty laundry, loading it up to take back inside.
Sara giggles then runs quickly into the cottage before she is spotted by Jillian. Once inside the cottage, Sara looks around as she walks through. Finally, she enters the kitchen, where sitting on a table are many tarts, biscuits, and other delicious foods sit. She grins then takes a buscuit, munching on it while moving on into the living room of the cottage. She looks up, spotting a chime clock. She lets her head tilt a little as the clock strikes ten. She narrows both eyes some as she looks to be getting a closer look. The two figurines, a woman being chased by a fiddling skeleton circle around the clock. After a few moments of watching this and being lost in thought, a vision of the clock appears; covered in ice and snow as the icey winds can be heard.
"Sara!"
Sara's vision disappears as Jillian comes running in with the basket of the now dirty clothes, having distracted Sara from the vision. Sara turns to Jillian and smiles, moving to her to hug her.
"One of your visits is always a pleasure," Jillian speaks, returning the hug with a free hand, "Have another biscuit."
"Jillian, I have no time to stay for a visit," Sara smiled, watching Jillian set the basket down.
Jillian, after setting it down turns to look at the princess, "Oh? Got a sweet heart waiting?"
"No.." Sara grins widely, "Neither country proverb or the kings command can keep me from the woods today."
"Sara, I look on you as a daughter, if you'll pardon my saying, its about time you start behaving like the lady you are. Not visiting poor folk like us." Jillian spoke, a tiny bit of harshness in her voice, but nothing too extreme.
Sara smiles softly, looking around her cottage then back to the woman whom stands before her, "This place...holds more magic for me than any palace in the world. You live a very rich life, Jillian."
A small smile crosses the older womans lips as she leans forward to rub over Sara's cheek softly, "You're very sweet, Sara.."
Sara looks up quickly, "I have no time for this, I'm going!" Sara stands quickly then kisses Jillian's cheek. She giggles wildly and runs out the door and into the woods.
Jillian runs out the door of the cottage, just stopping a few feet from her home, calling out to the child, "Oh, and you look out for spriggen and banshee my dear, these woods be thick with them. And stay clear of toadstool rings and willow trees! And old oaks!!"
Sara, having heard Jillian continues to run, laughing playfully at the protective woman. Finally she enters deeper into the woods, slowing her pace to a walk. "Merlock! Where are you!?" Her voice echoes across the woods, ringing through the ears of Petra, Mite, and Bernie as they follow after Sara, keeping well hidden behind trees and bushes, watching the innocent one. "Merlock!" Sara continues to walk on, many lovely birds fly in her path, mostly love birds as the two mates circle each other and flutter off, twittering happily. "Merlock...Merlock!!" She stops, hearing a rustling amongst some trees, then starts off into her slow pace again, "Merlock? Merlock, answer me..." Another noise sounds through the air, this time it was Mite, sneezing. Sara's gaze turns quickly toward a creek, watching as many black birds flutter off from it, their wings are heard beating heavily against the air as they finally disappear into the forest. "Merlock...please, if you are here, say something." She backs under a tree, still looking around the now deathly quiet forest.
Then, in a quick motion, Merlock jumps to the ground from the tree, landing in a croutch and eyeing the princess playfully. His attire, warn and raggely, but yet was nice upon him. His shirt, extremely long and green. It had a belt tied to his waist, looking almost like a dress, but isn't. Just the common forest boy look. Almost like the Peter Pan look. Merlock's blue skin glowed in the sun handsomely as his violet hair blew in the wind.
A sudden scream comes from Sara, starteled by his grand entrance. She covers her face, ducking down to the ground and turning to face the tree. "Jack!" She turns back to him quickly, "You scared the life out of me!!" She smiles, then begins to laugh at herself.
Merlock smiles, laughing along with her. He looks up to his shoulders as a crow land. He reaches up to take the bird, but it flies off. He looks to her and grins.
"You're so clever." Sara speaks softly, the smile never leaving her lips. Sara reaches up, taking Merlock's hand gently and coming to a stand. In the distance, Petra peeps up from the bush she is in, staring at the two lovers and grinning maniacally. She follows the two as they walk through the forest, but keeps hidden behind many trees and bushes. Finally, after a moment or two, Sara and Merlock sit on the ground, beneathe a large birch tree. He moves toward her and smiles softly as he presses his lips to her in a deep kiss. Merlock slowly lowers the girl onto her back as he continues to kiss her deeply.
Petra gasps in this scene, her eyes wide in shock at the two. Her mouth hangs wide open as little droplets of drool starts seeping from her lips and onto the ground, "Oh whyyy oh why why why!?!? Why doesn't the Dark Lord do that sort of thing for me!?" She hangs her head, now crying as the rivers of tears stream down her cheeks.
"Oh Petra...don't worry, its just kissing." Mite whines, turning to Bernie, whispering to the smaller man, "And also the fact that he doesn't like her as much as she thinks." Both start to snicker.
"What!?!?" Petra stands up quickly, glaring to the two, "What. Did. You. Just. Say!?"
"Nothing! Oh nothing, Petra!" Mite whimpered as he cowers beneathe her.
Petra smirks as she lowers herself back to the ground, looking toward the two, now just quietly watching them.
Sara, now having sat up along with Merlock picks up a finch from the ground, holding it gently within her small delicate hand. She starts to whistle to the bird, singing to it. The exact whistle the bird makes.
Merlock smiles and nods gently, watching as her whistling ceases and she puts the bird down, "Good! Very good. Just right.."
Sara returns his smile, happy at his response. She reaches behind her neck, unclasping a necklace she wears and holding it up to him. The sunlight gleams off the golden pendant into Merlocks eyes. "Merlock...tell me of our future."
Merlock smiles softly and shakes his head, "Not today."
"Why not?" Sara asks with a deep frown.
"Because.." Merlock pauses a moment, looking up at a tree as the sunlight glimmers through it. He then looks back to Sara, "There's something really splendid that I've been promising to show you. We must go now, because they'll only be here for a short while." He leans forward to her as he takes a pure white bandanna from his pants pocket and then begins to put it over her eyes.
Sara pulls back quickly, "Don't you trust me?"
Merlock leans closer, getting the bandanna over her eyes, "I trust you, Sara.." He then stands, taking Sara by the arms and brings her up as well. He leads her through the woods to a small river. He brings her closer where they perch on a rock. Merlock removes the bandanna from Sara's eyes as she looks toward the distance, awaiting her surprise. Then, amongst the far off weeping willows, two beautiful unicorns run down the river, neighing and playing around.
Petra, Mite, and Bernie follow after the two lovers, making their way on the opposite side of the river. All three of them watch in wonder and awe as the two unicorns appear down the river bend.
"Look! Ugly one-horned mule!" Bernie yells out, pointing toward the two unicorn timeshifters.
Merlock smiles as he watches the unicorns prance around happily, "Nothing is more magical. As long as they roam the Earth, evil can never harm the pure of heart."
"Do you speak their language?" Sara asks, never taking her eyes from the unicorns.
"They express only on love and laughter. Dark thoughts are unknown to them." Merlock speaks quietly as he watches Sara stand and hastly make her way toward the two timeshifters. "No Sara! You mustn't!!" He sits there helpless, watching as she makes her ways across the waters, "Sara, No! Please.."
~* * *~
A dark chuckle seeps through Petra's mouth as she prepares a poisoned needle from poison of a frog. She looks up, watching as Sara moves toward Unita-Master who just stands there, watching Sara then finally starts toward her. Petra pulls out a blow gun from a backpack that was around Mite's back and slides the needle into it. While reaching into the the backpack, Mite makes an odd noise, sorta of a grunt mixed with a belch.
"Shh! Quiet. You'll spook the beast and spoil the trap!" Petra spoke quietly as she stared at the one before her in disgust. She puts the blow gun to her mouth then takes aim, watching as Sara reaches out to the unicorn. "This shot should be as sweet as pie."
~* * *~
Sara smiles softly as she slides a hand gently across the unicorns face then feeds it some shards of grass. Merlock, being annoyed gets up and walks off. Petra takes a deep breath and blows hard into the gun, sending the poisoned dart streaming through the air and into the unicorns side. Unita-Master rears up, neighing and then takes off into a run down the small river, followed closely by Alico-Master, and of course, followed by the time bandits who are still hidden within the bushes and trees.
"Merlock!" Sara screamed out happily as she ran from the river and into the field of flowers. "Merlock.." It was lovely, like a dream." She looked around and tries to find Merlock.
"It is known, Sara, these are sacred animals." Sara could hear Merlock's voice from behind her as she continues to search for him while both unicorns run from the time bandits. Sara looks up into a tree, spotting Merlock as he stands above her, staring down harshly at her. "You risk your immortal soul.."
"I only wanted to touch one! Where is the harm in that!?" Sara asked, turning around quickly and looking up to Merlock.
Merlock kneels down on the branch, looking up at the sky which darkens. The unicorns continue to run, Unita-Master starting to grow weaker as he separates from the female. He nearly collapses as she continues on. The clouds grow darker now, completely covering the sky. Merlock watches the going ons with the sky, a hint of nervousness and anger covering his features as he turns to Sara, now having climbed down the tree and sits on the ground.
"Merlock..." Sara spoke softly to him, kneeling down in front of him. "I'm sorry.." She leans forward to kiss him. Her lips inches from his but he makes no move to kiss her. She looks up to him and smiles some, "Are you afraid to kiss me?"
"I'm afraid you'll break my heart." Merlock speaks, his face expressionless.
"Then steal your heart." Sara spoke softly, "You are dear to me as life itself." She smiled to him, pulling a ring from her finger, showing it to him. Half the gem is light and the other is dark. "Don't you wish this was our wedding ring? It's my right to set a challenge for my suitors. I will marry...whoever finds this ring!" She tosses the ring to her side. The ring his thre ground then bounces off a cliff whom Sara and Merlock were beside. The ring falls toward a lake then hits the water, sinking to the bottom. Sara gasps, not meaning to throw it like that and looks to Merlock. A grin spreads over his lips as he jumps up.
"Merlock!!" Sara screamed as she watched the forest boy run to the cliff and dives off. He lands into the water as Sara runs to the edge of the cliff, staring down at the river where he dove off at. The sky now pitch black and a cold rain begins to fall. She falls to her knees, clutching her head as she screams out loudly, "Jack!!!!" Her voice echos across the woods.
Jack continues to swim after the ring, swimming deeper and deeper into the clear water. As all this happens, the Unita-Master crashes to the ground under a blooming cherry tree. Petals flying everywhere as it starts to grow colder.
Sara watches from above as a sheet of ice grows over the water. She trembles and screams out her lovers name, only thinking he is now dead at the bottom of the lake. She cries hard as the cold rain beats down over her then gets up and runs. Jack finally runs out of breath. He quickly swims up to the surface only to hit the sheet of ice. He starts to punch and kick at the ice. While this happens, Petra appraches the time shifter, a sword in hand. She takes aim at the horn then pulls the sword over her head. She then quickly swings the sword down upon the time shifters horn, cutting it off just as Merlock breaks through the ice, gasping for much needed air. He continues gasping as he looks around the area as snow starts to fall, accumulating all around. He screams out Sara's name, not able to find her. Petra takes the horn and laughs maniacally, holding the horn above her head screaming around and bouncing in a very anime'ish way.
"Wooo! I finally succeeded at something! Yaaayyy, yaayyy, I'm da -WO- man!!" She giggles happily and runs, toward the others who wait over a small hill, holding up the horn and quickly regaining her normal posture. "Let's go!"
~* * *~
Sara runs through the snow alone now thinking her love is dead. She stops suddenly as a tree crashes down in front of her. She turns and runs the opposite direction toward her friend Jillian's house. She runs quickly and shuts the door behind her with a scream and holds it there for a few moments. She turns around, in complete shock at seeing Jillian and her husband froze. She slowly walks toward Jillian, looking over the woman in horror.
"Jillian..?" Sara reaches out to touch her face, then stops completely as she hears the time-bandits approach. Sara quickly runs to the window, looking out and seeing Petra, Mite, and Bernie approach. Sara backs away and runs quickly toward the attic and climbs up the ladder to it and watches the lower floor as the goblins slams open the door. Petra stops and looks around, sensing someone else in the room. She holds up her arms for the others to stop and then looks up toward the attic. Sara quickly backs away before the trio see her. Seeing nothing, Petra turns to look at the clock, seeing it frozen in place.
"Clock.." Mite said quietly, he too staring at the mechanical device.
"Mortal world turned to ice here be goblins paradice!!!" She starts to cackle loudly, holding up the horn and waving it around. Mite and Bernie just stare at her, their mouths hanging wide open as they stare at her in shock. She finally calms and looks around, "Plenty hospitality here.."
"Uhh, right.." Mite said in an almost nervous tone as he and Bernie both start to back away slowly, "Petra...where did that rhyme come from?"
Petra looks over at the two as they tense up and back away quickly. Her eyes narrow as she moves up to them, "What? Can a girl not make up little rhymes out of the blue that deals nothing with this story at all!?"
"N-no! We never say that!!!" Bernie screamed out.
Petra finally smiles and nods, pulling away from them, "Goooooodddd, now there are a lot of goodies around, have at it.." And the others did, moving away from her and swarming Jillian's cookies, cakes, buscuits, cresents, everything she had on her table and starts to go through it sloppily, eating it all quickly.
"Very nice.." Mite speaks, shoving a buscuit into his mouth.
Petra chuckles then moves around the room quietly. She stops at the clock and looks up at the frozen clock. She lifts the horn and looks over it, "Hmm..." she looks from it to the clock then arches a thin green brow, "...Hmm." She smiles then swings the horn toward it. A bright bluish colored light shoots from the horn and to the clock. It suddenly starts up again. She grins widely and looks from the clock to the fireplace. She swings toward the fireplace as the fire starts up.
Bernie gasps and gets his out of a soup pot and backs away quickly since the pot was over the fireplace. He stares at the fireplace, "How'd you do that, Petra!?"
"Yeah, tell us how you do those tricks," Mite spoke out. But both Petra and Bernie look at him, all in the shock at how each one of them are speaking in rhyme. Mite only grins at them and shrugs, chuckling to himself.
"Quite easily actually," Petra spoke out with a small shrug. She turns around and starts to shoot various objects with the horn, giggling happily to herself.
"Lucky day!! Kill ugly one-horned mule!" Bernie said loudly, bouncing around a bit.
"You act like you do all!" Petra moves quickly toward Bernie, getting into the little guys face, "It was me who shoot the poisoned stinger!" She starts to hit Bernie over the head. "Me!" She hits him once again, screaming out the word "Me" Followed by a punch to Bernie's head.
"You only got the shot because 'twas beauty who led the beast at bay!" Mite screamed out at the feuding ones.
Petra gasps and suddenly grins widely, her cheeks turning a bright red, "Oh... well thank you. I always thought of myself as such.." She goes on dreamidly, holding her hands to the bottom of her chin as she gets big googely eyes and grins merrily. Bernie of course, standing in front of her, swaying too and fro; dizzy from being knocked in the head so many times, even though his is wearing a large black helmet to cover his face.
Mite stares at her nervously, "Uhh, Petra, I didn't mean you...I meant Sara." And immediatly, upon the words he just spoke, he met with a lightning boltning. Petra just had shot him with the horn. He sighs a little, the brief attack hardly fazed him.
"Yeah! She was so sweet!" Bernie called out, "I could eat her brains like jam!"
Petra looks down at the smaller guy in front of her, a look of disgust crosses her features, "You know...that is disgusting!"
"I could suck her bones!" Mite screamed out.
Petra immediatly looking to Mite, her face turning as green as her hair, "Okay you two! You are getting me disgusted!" Mite and Bernie continue on, getting her sick purposly. But the two are suddenly stopped, both this time getting a lightning bolt in their face, "ENOUGH!! Dark Lord, he don't like to wait.
The three time bandits start to leave. Petra stays and looks around. A sudden evil gleam beams into her eyes as she grins some. With the horn she starts to destroy Jillian's house. She giggles, "I love destroying things!" Then she turns, running out after the two happily.
Sara sighs a little and moves to the window, still being in the attic of course. She stares at them as they run off, "What have I done..?" She speaks quietly, tears starting to build into her eyes, "I will make it right.." She looks down, starting down the ladder and out the house quietly.
~* * *~
Well, I have decided to make this story into parts, cause it is long. And Long stories shouldn't really be one HUGE thing cause you are bound to loose the readers interest. Though, this story in it self is bound to lose interests. I hope you do like this and it wasn't so boring. I tried, TRIED to make it humorous and like Petra's actions in the show. I hope I did well on this *Crosses her fingers and hopes* Well, also I'd like to tell all who actually -liked- the Heriditary series, Worry not. I'm only redoing the entire thing. Making it blend in better and making it well, better I hope. And also, I have a feeling that this one part in the story confused each one of you. At the part of where Merlock dove into the water and all the happenings carried on with the unicorn. I tried not to make it confusing, but that was happening at the SAME exact time that the world was freezing over and all.
But, please don't Flame me for this story, but please do R&R, I like those! *Grins* And I'll have this next story asap if it is liked. Thank you.

Authors Notes: Hey all. Well, here is a story that I have been working on for quite a while, and I really do hope each one of you all find it good. Its based on the main story Line of the movie Legend. A very well done 1986 Scott film with Mia Sara, Tom Cruise, and Tim Curry. If you haven't seen it, I refer it. Though, My story follows along with Legend exactly, I didn't fully copy, I didn't want to plagerise, but it is also with the F:TTD characters. I thought that the characters in Legend would really match each F:TTD characters and hoping it should make one very interesting story line.
I hope each one of you enjoy this story and find done well. I warn you though, some of the characters' forms will be changed, Not much though, one is Bindi, instead of her snail form, she will only be a sparkle of light. And also, Alico-Master is a unicorn time shifter, but female. She is much like Unita-Master, but her hair and eyes are pink, showing she is feminine. And instead of the time bandits wanting to capture the unicorns as they do the other time shifters, in here, their main goal is for the horns, you'll see. But, on with the story and hope you enjoy, please R&R and don't flame me *Whimpers*.
First, to make things less confusing, here are each of the characters from Legend that the characters from F:TTD will play, they are as follows:
Princess Lily : Sara
Jack : Merlock
Gump : Tony
Oona : Bindi
Browntom : Old Timer
Screwball : Flint w/ Rocky
Darkness : Dark Lord
Pox : Mite
Blunder : Bernie
Blix : Petra
Nell : Jillian
Meg (the bog beast) : Dino
Faeries, elves, gnomes, etc. etc. : Time shifters
Male unicorn : Unita-Master
Female unicorn : Alico-Master
Legend: Flint style
The forest was beautiful, trees and beautiful blooming flowers everywhere. The beams of the morning sun shine within the leaves of the trees, making the mellow forest even more enchanting. Many calls of animals can be heard as of the lovely songs of each bird. Many birds fly around, playfully circling each other.
Amongst some thick brush, red booted feet can be seen, taking each step carefully. A few 'ouches' can be heard from a female as she continues walking through the bushes, obviously having hit a briar patch within. Finally she stops once at the edge of the forest, staring straight ahead. The woman can clearly be seen as Petra Fina. She stairs toward a darkened and gloomy area. A large tree, made now as a castle. She starts toward it, grinning largely. The 'hearts' in her eyes as she nears the castle, a big grin spread happily over her face.
~* * *~ ( A.N. : When you see these, it means it is a change in the scene of the movie. I hope it isn't confusing, I'm sorry if it is, but on with the story. )
The Dark Lord sits back in his chair, staring straight ahead as a few evil beings torture their screaming victims. He shifts in his seat, almost as if waiting impatiently for something or someone. He sits back and takes a deep breath, "Mother night, fold your dark arms above me. Protect me in your black embrace. I sit alone. An empitent exile, the sorce, this presence returns to him." He stops as he turns to the door at the sound of a light knock. "Enter!!!" Petra enters the room quietly, staring at him with googily eyes. "Ahh, Petra, come closer." Indeed, the female time bandit does, literally floating toward the Dark Lord. Once in front of him, she kneels down. "Are you not as lothesome of my time bandits?"
A brief nod comes from Petra, a normal look is now dawned across her face, "Truly master."
The Dark Lord smiles a little, "And is your heart not black and full of hate?"
"Black as midnight, black as pitch, black as in the foulest witch." Petra answers.
He blinks, giving her an odd look. He leans forward, a thin brow arched though is hidden beneath his mask, whispering softly to her "Since when did you speak rhyme?" Petra only sends him a shrug in answer to his question. The Dark Lord nods, sitting back in his seat, "Ahh, I see.." He regains his previous posture. He looks to the side, giving a slight wave of his hand. A sorta of nervous tone to his voice, "Something troubles me. I feel a presence in the forest. A force I have mercifully almost forgotten.."
Petra frowns greatly, leaning forward some, her voice barely above a whisper, "Must be dread indeed to trouble you Lordship.."
He nods, his arm returned to the arm of the chair as it was before. "Looking upon these frail creatures, one could not think they can contain so much power. One could rule the universe with it. You.." He looks down to Petra quickly, lifting his hand again, pointing to her, "Will find them...and destroy them!"
"What do they look like, Lord?" Petra asked cautiously.
"Fool!" The Dark Lord reaches over to the side quickly, grabbing a fork that was upon a table beside him and holds it to her head, "Let this serve as a reminder that this creature is crowned with a single spiral reaching like an atennae straight to heaven!"
Petra stares up at the evil man in front of her, her eyes extremely wide as she makes no movements what-so-ever. Her voice, single-toned, "I get the point, Lord.."
The Dark Lord throws the fork back onto the table to his side, "The two are the strongest of the time shifters. With their powers, we can finally capture each and every one of the time shifters easily. But, each power is held within each horn upon these creatures. I want you to bring the horns to me."
Petra nods gently, pushing herself to a stand, "Where would I look, sire?"
"There is one lure for such disgusting goodness. One bait that never fails." He replies.
"What be this bait? Please? You teach me.." Petra begged.
"Innocense.." He said. "...Innocense..." Petra nods and grins to his reply, then turns around and walks off.
~* * *~
The wind blew gently over the flowered fields. White, yellow, pink, and purple flowers lie across the enchanting field. Lovely petals float about the air. Through a few trees in this field a young girl skips happily down a path, humming softly to herself. She wears a lovely white gown with gold lace placed beautifully upon the dress. She smiles as she continues on through the field, holding a white bouquet of carnations held tightly in her hands.
From a large bush, Petra, Mite, and Bernie watch her quietly. Petra steps forward some, narrowing her eyes some as the princess moves to a small cottage, "Maybe innocent, maybe sweet, ain't half as nice as rotting meat." Petra pauses, making a disgusted face, "Rotting meat? Nice? ...Disgusting!!" She wrinkles her nose, making gagging noises until Mite had to stop her before they are spotted due to all the loud and obnoxious noise. Petra, now having quietened and stopped her gagging looks up to her two flunkies, "Where did that come from!?" She starts to straighten and smooth out her red leather dress. Both send her a small shrug, not knowing where it came from either. She grumbles and turns around, facing the cottage where Sara went.
A soft humming sounds through the fields as Sara approaches the cottage. She circles to the back of the cottage, following after the hums of the woman singing them. Finally, she sees Jillian putting clothes upon the clothes line. She has a clothes pin in her mouth as she starts to hang a sheet up. Sara grins mischieviously as she pulls the clothes line that was tied around a tree, letting it fall to the ground.
Jillain gasps, trying to stop the line from falling to the ground but fails miserably, "Ohh.." After standing she yanks the clothes pin from her mouth and throws it onto the ground, "Bloomin' faeries!" She turns around, now gathering up the dirty laundry, loading it up to take back inside.
Sara giggles then runs quickly into the cottage before she is spotted by Jillian. Once inside the cottage, Sara looks around as she walks through. Finally, she enters the kitchen, where sitting on a table are many tarts, biscuits, and other delicious foods sit. She grins then takes a buscuit, munching on it while moving on into the living room of the cottage. She looks up, spotting a chime clock. She lets her head tilt a little as the clock strikes ten. She narrows both eyes some as she looks to be getting a closer look. The two figurines, a woman being chased by a fiddling skeleton circle around the clock. After a few moments of watching this and being lost in thought, a vision of the clock appears; covered in ice and snow as the icey winds can be heard.
"Sara!"
Sara's vision disappears as Jillian comes running in with the basket of the now dirty clothes, having distracted Sara from the vision. Sara turns to Jillian and smiles, moving to her to hug her.
"One of your visits is always a pleasure," Jillian speaks, returning the hug with a free hand, "Have another biscuit."
"Jillian, I have no time to stay for a visit," Sara smiled, watching Jillian set the basket down.
Jillian, after setting it down turns to look at the princess, "Oh? Got a sweet heart waiting?"
"No.." Sara grins widely, "Neither country proverb or the kings command can keep me from the woods today."
"Sara, I look on you as a daughter, if you'll pardon my saying, its about time you start behaving like the lady you are. Not visiting poor folk like us." Jillian spoke, a tiny bit of harshness in her voice, but nothing too extreme.
Sara smiles softly, looking around her cottage then back to the woman whom stands before her, "This place...holds more magic for me than any palace in the world. You live a very rich life, Jillian."
A small smile crosses the older womans lips as she leans forward to rub over Sara's cheek softly, "You're very sweet, Sara.."
Sara looks up quickly, "I have no time for this, I'm going!" Sara stands quickly then kisses Jillian's cheek. She giggles wildly and runs out the door and into the woods.
Jillian runs out the door of the cottage, just stopping a few feet from her home, calling out to the child, "Oh, and you look out for spriggen and banshee my dear, these woods be thick with them. And stay clear of toadstool rings and willow trees! And old oaks!!"
Sara, having heard Jillian continues to run, laughing playfully at the protective woman. Finally she enters deeper into the woods, slowing her pace to a walk. "Merlock! Where are you!?" Her voice echoes across the woods, ringing through the ears of Petra, Mite, and Bernie as they follow after Sara, keeping well hidden behind trees and bushes, watching the innocent one. "Merlock!" Sara continues to walk on, many lovely birds fly in her path, mostly love birds as the two mates circle each other and flutter off, twittering happily. "Merlock...Merlock!!" She stops, hearing a rustling amongst some trees, then starts off into her slow pace again, "Merlock? Merlock, answer me..." Another noise sounds through the air, this time it was Mite, sneezing. Sara's gaze turns quickly toward a creek, watching as many black birds flutter off from it, their wings are heard beating heavily against the air as they finally disappear into the forest. "Merlock...please, if you are here, say something." She backs under a tree, still looking around the now deathly quiet forest.
Then, in a quick motion, Merlock jumps to the ground from the tree, landing in a croutch and eyeing the princess playfully. His attire, warn and raggely, but yet was nice upon him. His shirt, extremely long and green. It had a belt tied to his waist, looking almost like a dress, but isn't. Just the common forest boy look. Almost like the Peter Pan look. Merlock's blue skin glowed in the sun handsomely as his violet hair blew in the wind.
A sudden scream comes from Sara, starteled by his grand entrance. She covers her face, ducking down to the ground and turning to face the tree. "Jack!" She turns back to him quickly, "You scared the life out of me!!" She smiles, then begins to laugh at herself.
Merlock smiles, laughing along with her. He looks up to his shoulders as a crow land. He reaches up to take the bird, but it flies off. He looks to her and grins.
"You're so clever." Sara speaks softly, the smile never leaving her lips. Sara reaches up, taking Merlock's hand gently and coming to a stand. In the distance, Petra peeps up from the bush she is in, staring at the two lovers and grinning maniacally. She follows the two as they walk through the forest, but keeps hidden behind many trees and bushes. Finally, after a moment or two, Sara and Merlock sit on the ground, beneathe a large birch tree. He moves toward her and smiles softly as he presses his lips to her in a deep kiss. Merlock slowly lowers the girl onto her back as he continues to kiss her deeply.
Petra gasps in this scene, her eyes wide in shock at the two. Her mouth hangs wide open as little droplets of drool starts seeping from her lips and onto the ground, "Oh whyyy oh why why why!?!? Why doesn't the Dark Lord do that sort of thing for me!?" She hangs her head, now crying as the rivers of tears stream down her cheeks.
"Oh Petra...don't worry, its just kissing." Mite whines, turning to Bernie, whispering to the smaller man, "And also the fact that he doesn't like her as much as she thinks." Both start to snicker.
"What!?!?" Petra stands up quickly, glaring to the two, "What. Did. You. Just. Say!?"
"Nothing! Oh nothing, Petra!" Mite whimpered as he cowers beneathe her.
Petra smirks as she lowers herself back to the ground, looking toward the two, now just quietly watching them.
Sara, now having sat up along with Merlock picks up a finch from the ground, holding it gently within her small delicate hand. She starts to whistle to the bird, singing to it. The exact whistle the bird makes.
Merlock smiles and nods gently, watching as her whistling ceases and she puts the bird down, "Good! Very good. Just right.."
Sara returns his smile, happy at his response. She reaches behind her neck, unclasping a necklace she wears and holding it up to him. The sunlight gleams off the golden pendant into Merlocks eyes. "Merlock...tell me of our future."
Merlock smiles softly and shakes his head, "Not today."
"Why not?" Sara asks with a deep frown.
"Because.." Merlock pauses a moment, looking up at a tree as the sunlight glimmers through it. He then looks back to Sara, "There's something really splendid that I've been promising to show you. We must go now, because they'll only be here for a short while." He leans forward to her as he takes a pure white bandanna from his pants pocket and then begins to put it over her eyes.
Sara pulls back quickly, "Don't you trust me?"
Merlock leans closer, getting the bandanna over her eyes, "I trust you, Sara.." He then stands, taking Sara by the arms and brings her up as well. He leads her through the woods to a small river. He brings her closer where they perch on a rock. Merlock removes the bandanna from Sara's eyes as she looks toward the distance, awaiting her surprise. Then, amongst the far off weeping willows, two beautiful unicorns run down the river, neighing and playing around.
Petra, Mite, and Bernie follow after the two lovers, making their way on the opposite side of the river. All three of them watch in wonder and awe as the two unicorns appear down the river bend.
"Look! Ugly one-horned mule!" Bernie yells out, pointing toward the two unicorn timeshifters.
Merlock smiles as he watches the unicorns prance around happily, "Nothing is more magical. As long as they roam the Earth, evil can never harm the pure of heart."
"Do you speak their language?" Sara asks, never taking her eyes from the unicorns.
"They express only on love and laughter. Dark thoughts are unknown to them." Merlock speaks quietly as he watches Sara stand and hastly make her way toward the two timeshifters. "No Sara! You mustn't!!" He sits there helpless, watching as she makes her ways across the waters, "Sara, No! Please.."
~* * *~
A dark chuckle seeps through Petra's mouth as she prepares a poisoned needle from poison of a frog. She looks up, watching as Sara moves toward Unita-Master who just stands there, watching Sara then finally starts toward her. Petra pulls out a blow gun from a backpack that was around Mite's back and slides the needle into it. While reaching into the the backpack, Mite makes an odd noise, sorta of a grunt mixed with a belch.
"Shh! Quiet. You'll spook the beast and spoil the trap!" Petra spoke quietly as she stared at the one before her in disgust. She puts the blow gun to her mouth then takes aim, watching as Sara reaches out to the unicorn. "This shot should be as sweet as pie."
~* * *~
Sara smiles softly as she slides a hand gently across the unicorns face then feeds it some shards of grass. Merlock, being annoyed gets up and walks off. Petra takes a deep breath and blows hard into the gun, sending the poisoned dart streaming through the air and into the unicorns side. Unita-Master rears up, neighing and then takes off into a run down the small river, followed closely by Alico-Master, and of course, followed by the time bandits who are still hidden within the bushes and trees.
"Merlock!" Sara screamed out happily as she ran from the river and into the field of flowers. "Merlock.." It was lovely, like a dream." She looked around and tries to find Merlock.
"It is known, Sara, these are sacred animals." Sara could hear Merlock's voice from behind her as she continues to search for him while both unicorns run from the time bandits. Sara looks up into a tree, spotting Merlock as he stands above her, staring down harshly at her. "You risk your immortal soul.."
"I only wanted to touch one! Where is the harm in that!?" Sara asked, turning around quickly and looking up to Merlock.
Merlock kneels down on the branch, looking up at the sky which darkens. The unicorns continue to run, Unita-Master starting to grow weaker as he separates from the female. He nearly collapses as she continues on. The clouds grow darker now, completely covering the sky. Merlock watches the going ons with the sky, a hint of nervousness and anger covering his features as he turns to Sara, now having climbed down the tree and sits on the ground.
"Merlock..." Sara spoke softly to him, kneeling down in front of him. "I'm sorry.." She leans forward to kiss him. Her lips inches from his but he makes no move to kiss her. She looks up to him and smiles some, "Are you afraid to kiss me?"
"I'm afraid you'll break my heart." Merlock speaks, his face expressionless.
"Then steal your heart." Sara spoke softly, "You are dear to me as life itself." She smiled to him, pulling a ring from her finger, showing it to him. Half the gem is light and the other is dark. "Don't you wish this was our wedding ring? It's my right to set a challenge for my suitors. I will marry...whoever finds this ring!" She tosses the ring to her side. The ring his thre ground then bounces off a cliff whom Sara and Merlock were beside. The ring falls toward a lake then hits the water, sinking to the bottom. Sara gasps, not meaning to throw it like that and looks to Merlock. A grin spreads over his lips as he jumps up.
"Merlock!!" Sara screamed as she watched the forest boy run to the cliff and dives off. He lands into the water as Sara runs to the edge of the cliff, staring down at the river where he dove off at. The sky now pitch black and a cold rain begins to fall. She falls to her knees, clutching her head as she screams out loudly, "Jack!!!!" Her voice echos across the woods.
Jack continues to swim after the ring, swimming deeper and deeper into the clear water. As all this happens, the Unita-Master crashes to the ground under a blooming cherry tree. Petals flying everywhere as it starts to grow colder.
Sara watches from above as a sheet of ice grows over the water. She trembles and screams out her lovers name, only thinking he is now dead at the bottom of the lake. She cries hard as the cold rain beats down over her then gets up and runs. Jack finally runs out of breath. He quickly swims up to the surface only to hit the sheet of ice. He starts to punch and kick at the ice. While this happens, Petra appraches the time shifter, a sword in hand. She takes aim at the horn then pulls the sword over her head. She then quickly swings the sword down upon the time shifters horn, cutting it off just as Merlock breaks through the ice, gasping for much needed air. He continues gasping as he looks around the area as snow starts to fall, accumulating all around. He screams out Sara's name, not able to find her. Petra takes the horn and laughs maniacally, holding the horn above her head screaming around and bouncing in a very anime'ish way.
"Wooo! I finally succeeded at something! Yaaayyy, yaayyy, I'm da -WO- man!!" She giggles happily and runs, toward the others who wait over a small hill, holding up the horn and quickly regaining her normal posture. "Let's go!"
~* * *~
Sara runs through the snow alone now thinking her love is dead. She stops suddenly as a tree crashes down in front of her. She turns and runs the opposite direction toward her friend Jillian's house. She runs quickly and shuts the door behind her with a scream and holds it there for a few moments. She turns around, in complete shock at seeing Jillian and her husband froze. She slowly walks toward Jillian, looking over the woman in horror.
"Jillian..?" Sara reaches out to touch her face, then stops completely as she hears the time-bandits approach. Sara quickly runs to the window, looking out and seeing Petra, Mite, and Bernie approach. Sara backs away and runs quickly toward the attic and climbs up the ladder to it and watches the lower floor as the goblins slams open the door. Petra stops and looks around, sensing someone else in the room. She holds up her arms for the others to stop and then looks up toward the attic. Sara quickly backs away before the trio see her. Seeing nothing, Petra turns to look at the clock, seeing it frozen in place.
"Clock.." Mite said quietly, he too staring at the mechanical device.
"Mortal world turned to ice here be goblins paradice!!!" She starts to cackle loudly, holding up the horn and waving it around. Mite and Bernie just stare at her, their mouths hanging wide open as they stare at her in shock. She finally calms and looks around, "Plenty hospitality here.."
"Uhh, right.." Mite said in an almost nervous tone as he and Bernie both start to back away slowly, "Petra...where did that rhyme come from?"
Petra looks over at the two as they tense up and back away quickly. Her eyes narrow as she moves up to them, "What? Can a girl not make up little rhymes out of the blue that deals nothing with this story at all!?"
"N-no! We never say that!!!" Bernie screamed out.
Petra finally smiles and nods, pulling away from them, "Goooooodddd, now there are a lot of goodies around, have at it.." And the others did, moving away from her and swarming Jillian's cookies, cakes, buscuits, cresents, everything she had on her table and starts to go through it sloppily, eating it all quickly.
"Very nice.." Mite speaks, shoving a buscuit into his mouth.
Petra chuckles then moves around the room quietly. She stops at the clock and looks up at the frozen clock. She lifts the horn and looks over it, "Hmm..." she looks from it to the clock then arches a thin green brow, "...Hmm." She smiles then swings the horn toward it. A bright bluish colored light shoots from the horn and to the clock. It suddenly starts up again. She grins widely and looks from the clock to the fireplace. She swings toward the fireplace as the fire starts up.
Bernie gasps and gets his out of a soup pot and backs away quickly since the pot was over the fireplace. He stares at the fireplace, "How'd you do that, Petra!?"
"Yeah, tell us how you do those tricks," Mite spoke out. But both Petra and Bernie look at him, all in the shock at how each one of them are speaking in rhyme. Mite only grins at them and shrugs, chuckling to himself.
"Quite easily actually," Petra spoke out with a small shrug. She turns around and starts to shoot various objects with the horn, giggling happily to herself.
"Lucky day!! Kill ugly one-horned mule!" Bernie said loudly, bouncing around a bit.
"You act like you do all!" Petra moves quickly toward Bernie, getting into the little guys face, "It was me who shoot the poisoned stinger!" She starts to hit Bernie over the head. "Me!" She hits him once again, screaming out the word "Me" Followed by a punch to Bernie's head.
"You only got the shot because 'twas beauty who led the beast at bay!" Mite screamed out at the feuding ones.
Petra gasps and suddenly grins widely, her cheeks turning a bright red, "Oh... well thank you. I always thought of myself as such.." She goes on dreamidly, holding her hands to the bottom of her chin as she gets big googely eyes and grins merrily. Bernie of course, standing in front of her, swaying too and fro; dizzy from being knocked in the head so many times, even though his is wearing a large black helmet to cover his face.
Mite stares at her nervously, "Uhh, Petra, I didn't mean you...I meant Sara." And immediatly, upon the words he just spoke, he met with a lightning boltning. Petra just had shot him with the horn. He sighs a little, the brief attack hardly fazed him.
"Yeah! She was so sweet!" Bernie called out, "I could eat her brains like jam!"
Petra looks down at the smaller guy in front of her, a look of disgust crosses her features, "You know...that is disgusting!"
"I could suck her bones!" Mite screamed out.
Petra immediatly looking to Mite, her face turning as green as her hair, "Okay you two! You are getting me disgusted!" Mite and Bernie continue on, getting her sick purposly. But the two are suddenly stopped, both this time getting a lightning bolt in their face, "ENOUGH!! Dark Lord, he don't like to wait.
The three time bandits start to leave. Petra stays and looks around. A sudden evil gleam beams into her eyes as she grins some. With the horn she starts to destroy Jillian's house. She giggles, "I love destroying things!" Then she turns, running out after the two happily.
Sara sighs a little and moves to the window, still being in the attic of course. She stares at them as they run off, "What have I done..?" She speaks quietly, tears starting to build into her eyes, "I will make it right.." She looks down, starting down the ladder and out the house quietly.

Well, I have decided to make this story into parts, cause it is long. And Long stories shouldn't really be one HUGE thing cause you are bound to loose the readers interest. Though, this story in it self is bound to lose interests. I hope you do like this and it wasn't so boring. I tried, TRIED to make it humorous and like Petra's actions in the show. I hope I did well on this *Crosses her fingers and hopes* Well, also I'd like to tell all who actually -liked- the Heriditary series, Worry not. I'm only redoing the entire thing. Making it blend in better and making it well, better I hope. And also, I have a feeling that this one part in the story confused each one of you. At the part of where Merlock dove into the water and all the happenings carried on with the unicorn. I tried not to make it confusing, but that was happening at the SAME exact time that the world was freezing over and all.
But, please don't Flame me for this story, but please do R&R, I like those! *Grins* And I'll have this next story asap if it is liked. Thank you.
