Frying Pan of Doom

A/N This is a parody of a scene from the movie 'Tangled.' This story was written for Ansa88's 'Frying Pan of Doom' challenge.

Wally ran through the tunnel at normal speed dragging Robin along behind him. He waved a lit torch in front of him as they stumbled along the dimly lit path. Behind them they could hear the noise of the castle guards gaining on them.

Suddenly daylight flooded the tunnel and Wally saw the blessed exit. Just a few feet more and freedom would be theirs. Wally burst out of the tunnel and kept running, discarding his torch as he did so. He had only made it a few feet, though, before a cliff brought an abrupt end to their flight. 'Not good.' Wally thought as he surveyed the surroundings for a means of escape.

Before a plan could be found two massive thugs burst through another tunnel on a cliff some feet below. "Who's that?" Robin asked.

"They don't like me." Wally said as Robin shrunk back into him.

More noise behind them caused the two friends to turn back to the tunnel they had just left. Four castle guards ran out weapons in hand. "Who's that?" Robin asked.

"They don't like me either." Wally said through gritted teeth.

And then a large white imperial stallion charged to stand behind the guards with its nostrils flaring angrily: Maximus. Boy did Wally hate that horse.

"WHO'S THAT?" Robin was really getting on Wally's nerves right about now.

"Let's just assume for the moment that everyone here doesn't like me." Wally said, turning to face Robin.

"Here." Robin said as he slammed his frying pan into Wally's stomach. 'When did Rob get a frying pan?' Wally thought as he watched his best friend fir his grappling gun and swing to another cliff across the ravine. 'Thanks for thinking of me Rob.' Wally thought sarcastically as he turned back towards the guards and Maximus.

The lead guard advanced with the other three following his lead. As the guard approached Wally he threw aside his torch and drew his sword. "I've waited a long time for this." He said menacingly to Wally.

The lead guard took a swing at Wally's upper body but Wally ducked the blow and smacked the guard with the frying pan. Suddenly the guard turned into a pile of poached eggs. Before Wally could really think about what just happened the second guard was on him. Parry, Whack! Another pile of poached eggs. Spin, block, backhand, more poached eggs. Duck, uppercut, the last guard went down as a delicious pile of the breakfast delicacy.

Wally looked at the frying pan in his hand with wonder and excitement. 'Oh mama! I have got to get me one of these!" He said as he twirled the pan around.

Suddenly another sword was leveled at his face. Wally quickly switched the pan to his opposite hand and turned to face the new challenge. He was met with the sight of Maximus (the horse) with a sword in his mouth looking quite frightening. Wally's fun expression fell as Maximus whinnied and charged into the fight. The two fighters dance around each other thrusting and blocking with pan and sword.

"You." Whack! "Should know." Whack! "That this." Duck. "Is the Strangest." Whack! "Thing." Thrust. "I've ever done!" Wally said as he fought off the horses' blade.

Maximus forced Wally back against the water wheel and whacked the pan out of his hands. Wally and Maximus watched as the pan soared off the side of the cliff and fell to the rocks below.

Wally looked back at the horse and gave a crooked smile. "How 'bout two out of three?"

The horse thrust his sword menacingly close to Wally's throat in answer to his question.

Wally awoke with a yell. It took him a couple of seconds to realize that he was lying on the couch in Mount Justice. Rob was sitting next to him smirking, "Frying Pan of Doom dream again?"

"Yeah." Wally nodded. "That is the last time I ever stay up late watching a Disney movie ever again."

"I seem to recall you saying that after the last incident with the Cinderella dream."

Wally blushed. "I hate you."

Robin smirked.

A/N The quotes in the dream were taken directly from the movie Tangled. I cannot believe that I just wrote this…
