Journey of Depp
I'm back bitches! This is the long waited sequel to Depp Legacy, I apologize for the wait I was taking a short break but I'm back now and ready to continue this train wreck on fire.
Constable Ichabod Crane frowns at the headless corpse; this is the sixth time in less than a week that he's found a body in the Western Woods. Ichabod sighs and crouches down next to the body, he quickly examines it and much to his surprise it's wet.
"This doesn't make any sense" Ichabod mutters to himself as he reaches into his black bag of science for one of his tools, as the wind blows violently all around. Lightning flashes and thunder rumbles as the terrifying sounds of hoovebeats fills the deathly quiet Western Woods, Ichabod gasps sharply as the Headless Horseman comes into his vision and everything goes black.
The demon barber of Fleet Street smiles as the body falls down the chute and blood sprays everywhere. Sweeney is cleaning off his blood stained razor, when he hears a knock at his door, he immediately freezes up. Anyone could be at his door, there could be a constable sent to arrest him, it could be that annoying wench Mrs. Lovett, or it could be The Judge.
"Enter" Sweeney commands, the door flies open and a blinding white light surrounds him.
The warm Caribbean breeze gently lifts the sails of the Black Pearl, the captain of said ship watches the ocean go by. In the water, deep under the surface, something sparkles and swims by the ship. Jack looks down in fascination at the sparkling object and sees a tail, the tail of a mermaid.
"Mr. Gibbs" Jack calls over to his first mate; the man rushes over to Jack and patiently waits for his commands. "Hold onto my rum" Jack says, hands the rum over to Mr. Gibbs and jumps overboard into the ocean into a blinding white whirlpool.
"Stop!" The Red Queen's guards yell as they chase Tarrant through the thick forest of Underland. Tarrant smiles to himself and holds onto his top hat, tucked under his arm is the Red Queen's crown.
"Stop in the name of the queen!" one of the guards screams once more as Tarrant leaps over a blue plant, he lands inside a hole which has a blinding white light.
"Now this factory is the only factory that has a chocolate waterfall to mix up the chocolate" Willy says as he makes weird hand motions as Edward follows him. Edward smiles and snips his scissors happily as her looks at the chocolate waterfall, ever since he decided to live with Willy his life has changed drastically for the better. Willy stops walking and smiles at Edward, he carefully reaches over and holds onto Edward's forearm.
"I love you Edward" Willy says quietly and gently kisses Edward; Edward blushes and franticly clicks his scissors together. "I-I… Love you t-too" Edward answers as he looks back at the waterfall. The two of them stand in silence, watching the waterfall mix up the chocolate as a hole opens up under them and swallows them; they fall into blinding white light.
Across a distance, in a castle a portal of blinding white light opens and transports the six familiar characters onto the castle floor. A woman with golden eyes, and a cruel smile watches as they slowly get up and look around.
"You…. All of you…" Sweeney says, looking around the group of characters which he remembers quite clearly and honestly wish he didn't know nor remember. "'Ello sweetness or whatever you name is" Jack greets and steps over an unconscious Ichabod in order to be near Sweeney. Sweeney glares at Jack and takes out his razor which still has some blood on it, Edward sees this razor and hides behind Willy.
"It's Todd, Sweeney Todd and do not think that I won't think about shaving you, pirate" Sweeney says cruelly and tucks his razor away for now. Tarrant suddenly spots Jack and without a second thought, tackles Jack to the ground. While Jack and Tarrant get r-acquainted, Sweeney rolls his eyes and makes his way over to Willy and Edward.
"We are all together once more, do you know why?" Sweeney demands, giving Willy a death glare. Willy moves closer to Edward to try and protect him from the murderous barber and shakes his head no, not wanting to speak to Sweeney. Sweeney continues glaring at Willy and Edward for a few seconds then sharply turns on his heels, back to Tarrant and Jack.
"Look at this!" Tarrant says happily and takes out the Red Queen's crown, Jack smiles at the crown and places it on top of his hat. "Boys, can you please focus?" Sweeney suddenly interrupts their goofing around and gives them each a death glare.
"We are once again all together against our will, seeing as the only rational one is unconscious, it's up to us to figure out where we are and why we are here" Sweeney explains as Ichabod shakily stands up and looks around in confusion.
"Greeting to all of you" Ichabod announces, still looking very confused to how he got here and why he is here with these people again. Edward finally comes out from behind Willy and smiles slightly at Ichabod, next to Willy; Ichabod is the only other person he trusts.
"Does anyone know where we are?" Ichabod asks the group and takes out his ledger so that he may record what he learns; the men exchange confused looks and look around what used to be a grand foyer. Dirt and dust litter the filthy marble floor, up ahead is a few feet is a spiraling wooden staircase that seems to be made out of rotting wood.
"This place is really dirty" Willy observes as he looks at a stained glass window, the only part of the foyer that seems to be clean. Ichabod paces back and forth as he takes note on the surroundings, he is so focused on writing that he isn't watching where he is going and bumps into Tarrant. Tarrant stumbles backwards and drops the queen's crown, breaking it in half.
"Oh my! Pardon me!" Ichabod says quickly, blushing fiercely as he closes his ledger and fearfully looks over at Tarrant. Tarrant picks up the two halves of the crown and hands one to Jack, smiling like an idiot. Jack and Tarrant stare at each other wearing the halves of the crown on their hats and burst out laughing, Ichabod sighs and turns away, those two are utterly hopeless.
"I-I think we are in a castle… L-like my castle" Edward answers quietly as he looks around, so far for what he's seen this castle closely resembles where he used to live until Willy rescued him. Ichabod nods, opens up his ledger and writes that down as the sound of someone walking with high heels suddenly fills the foyer. Sweeney bares his teeth and takes out his razor, Ichabod has his pistol out and loaded in a matter of seconds same with Jack, and Edward has his scissors out in front of him. Willy and Tarrant are the only ones without a weapon, Willy dropped his cane in surprise when they fell down the hole, and Tarrant lost his sword while running away from the queen's guards.
"All of you got ready rather quickly" A child like voice that is female says as a little girl, wearing high heels comes into their view. "We have experience" Sweeney replies, remembering the vampires and how they all fought them and won, he looks slightly confused though at why a little girl seems to be in charge.
"You all look so confused! Were you not expecting me?" The little girl asks and smiles; she's missing one of her teeth and cannot be more than ten years old. Tarrant is the one to step forward to answer her; he seems to be the one most comfortable with children and smiles kindly at her.
"Honestly no, the last person we fought was a grown up vampire lady" Tarrant explains, he is correct the group when they heard the heels prepared for the worst. "Oh I see, I can be her if that's what you want" the little girl answers and in the blink of an eye turns into Elizabeth. Edward whimpers and hides behind Willy once more, Ichabod loses all the color in his face and the hand that is holding the pistol starts to shake heavily. Willy seems terrified and clings onto Edward, only Jack and Sweeney seem unfazed and continue to point their weapons at the girl.
"I don't really like this form, she's too mean. I prefer the other one" the girl explains, she even has Elizabeth's seductive voice that controlled half of the group. The girl takes a few steps as Elizabeth, frowns then turns back to the little girl in a matter of seconds.
"W-who…. W-what are you?" Ichabod nervously asks and moves up near Sweeney and Jack; he lowers his pistol for his hand is shaking too heavily for him to aim straight. The girl smiles at Ichabod, she does look rather innocent in her bright pink dress and long brown hair.
"I don't really know what I am Ichabod, but I do know that my name is Lily" the girl answers, Ichabod looks scared to death at Lily somehow knowing his name and backs away slowly, to where Willy and Edward are standing. Tarrant, Jack, and Sweeney are the only ones still at the front, they have somehow become the three to defend the whole group.
"Where are we Lily?" Sweeney demands, walks up to Lily and places his razor against her throat. Lily smiles and flicks her wrist; Sweeney goes flying into a stone wall and goes limp. The rest of the group watches in horror as Lily changes once more from a little girl to something else, to fully show her power. Lily goes from a little girl to an adult woman in matter of seconds, she keeps the black heels as they grow a few more inches and turn into knee high boots. Her once innocent long brown hair turns black as night and her eyes become a sparkling emerald, she has on a dark purple top with long sleeves and a long black shirt. A black cape with a dark purple lining finishes her outfit, "I am Lilyana, ruler of this castle and this land" the woman says cruelly.
"I have been watching you, all of you. I was the one who brought you together in order to see who was right for my test" Lilyana explains with a huge smile that looks almost cruel. The group looks confused and a bit scared at what Lilyana means by test.
"T-test?" Ichabod questions as he steps forward again, Lilyana looks at him and gives him her huge smile. "Yes test, if you fail to complete it you shall perish" she answers and snaps her fingers. The blinding white light appears and when it goes away, the group of quirky characters is outside in front of a thick forest.
