GW: Here's the chapter where the team meets up!
Winter: Yay!
Lucy: Oh, can it, bunny-girl.
WLS: Not you too!
Meeting New Friends
"Alright, take them away!" a soldier ordered the driver of the cart as he took away a group of prisoners away while a sad group Doremi, Momoko, Aiko, Onpu, and Hazuki away in chains. It was by order of Evil Lilo, the ruler of the land, that all Toons, freaks, OCs, demons, etc. be taken away. And she offered a reward to anyone that brought them in.
"Keep going, you brats!" a guard snapped, pushing the witchlings ahead.
At a table nearby, a man sat at a chair, writing down the names of those brought in. He had slicked-back brown hair, cold grey eyes, pale skin, and wore the Amestrian military uniform. He was Frank Archer. He only worked for that little brat so he could get paid.
"Next," he said in a bored tone. A witch named Elphaba was pushed forward.
"I'll take that!" Vicky sneered as she took Elphaba's broom and snapped it in two. "Your flying days are over, greeny!"
"That's 20 munny for the witch," Archer told the teen, handing over some munny. "Next."
"Wretched toad," Elphaba muttered as they took her away.
A man named Russell was holding three hybrids by rope. The first was a wolf-girl with short silver hair, grey wolf ears, and amber eyes. She wore a blue hoodie, dark blue jeans, white and pink sneakers, and a silver bracelet and flower-shaped necklace. She was Glowworm666.
The second was a monkey-boy hybrid with big ears, brown hair, blue eyes, fur on his cheeks, hands, and feet, and a brown tail. He wore a blue shirt under a black hoodie, black jeans, and sneakers. He was Monkeyboy, GW's little brother.
The last one was a rabbit-girl hybrid with brown hair wrapped in a ponytail, topaz eyes, and white rabbit ears and tail. She wore a baggy white shirt with a black pirate skull on it, blue jeans, white sneakers, a neon green headband, and a blue bandanna. She was WinterLoveSong, GW's good friend.
They watched as Doremi comforted Hazuki. MB turns and sees the Stitch kids in cages while their parents are in another one beside them.
"This stinks! Stupid cage!" Dino yelled before he kicked the cage. He then grabbed his foot in pain.
Glowworm turned to Russell and pleads, "Please, Russell! We'll work harder in the bathhouse and not goof off!"
"And we won't indulge in your chocolate and I'll stop flirting with your daughter," MB added. "Though I can't guarantee I won't stop the flirting thing."
"Oh, shut up or I'll turn you all into toads!" Russell threatened. "Grouchy," Winter mumbled.
"Next," Archer says. A couple come up with four kids. The first couple was the skeleton Grim and his beautiful wife Mandy. With them, were their children. The oldest was a skeleton with brown hair and wearing a black hoodie, black pants, and sneakers. He was Grim Jr. The youngest had short blonde hair held with a black headband and grey eyes. She wore a black leotard under a red cape, red tights, and black ballet shoes. She was Minia.
The second couple was Izumi Curtis and her husband Sig. They had their children with them. One was a boy with messy hair and wide purple eyes. He wore a baggy shirt, shorts, and leg warmers. He was Wrath. The last one had brown hair that covered her face, light blue eyes, and wore a grey striped shirt under a sleeveless grey sweater, grey pants, and black shoes. She was Samara.
"Well, well," Archer smiled evilly at the couples. "If it isn't the Grim Reaper, his family, and the Curtis.' What are you turning in?"
The parents looked sadly at their kids and whispered, "Don't be nervous." Izumi then spoke up sadly, "Our children are a Homunculus and a demon girl."
"And our kids are a Nergal and a skeleton boy," Grim sighed sorrowfully as well. Either the couples had to give their kids up or they'd all be taken away.
"We're not demons! We're normal kids!" Wrath yelled. He accidentally threw his arm out and transmuted it to a log. Samara glared to long at the guards that one of them died by her death-stare. Minia's tentacles came out of her back and grabbed a tree, and Junior sighed, knowing his looks proved his weirdness.
Archer quirked his eyebrow at the kids, who all laughed meekly, "Whoops."
"50 munny for each demon kid," Archer said. "Take them away." The guards grabbed the kids.
"Mommy! Daddy!" Minia screamed as Grim Junior yelled, "Don't do this! Help!" Wrath and Sam, who was crying at this point, yelled for their parents as well.
Mandy and Izumi had tears in their eyes as their husbands comforted them and accepted the munny sadly. "How can you be doing this?" Izumi said angrily.
"It's either your kids or you be punished yourselves. It's painful if you worry about it," Archer said in an emotionless tone.
"I'll show you painful!" Izumi growled as she moved forward to kick Archer's butt, but she suddenly puked out blood. Sig took her shoulder and told her softly, "We'll find another way to get them back, Izumi." The Curtis' left as the Reaper's prepared to go.
Grim glared at Archer. "I'll get you really soon, mon," he hissed as they took off.
Archer ignored Grim's threat and said, "Next." Russell led the hybrids forward and told the officer, "I've got hybrids."
Archer stared at the three, who stared dumbly into space. "Right," he then smiled, "well, they're good fro 20 munny. If you can prove it."
Russell smiled nervously as he lifted the rope from their necks. "Come on, kiddos. Show some intelligence." The hybrids stared, then Glowworm barked, Monkeyboy made monkey sounds and scratched his head, and Winter nibbled on some grass.
Archer looked expectantly and said, "Well? They look like dumb animals to me than half-humans." The hybrids cheered silently, happy to see they fooled archer.
Russell then laughed as he told him, "Oh, no. They're fully-functional and chatter-boxes." He glared at the three. "Talk, you little-"
"Okay, men," the officer snapped his fingers and some guards went to take the evil wizard away.
"No! They do talk!" Russell yelled. He took Monkeyboy's mouth and made it look like he was talking, though Russell was the one talking and doing it poorly, too. "I love talking! Talking is my favorite thing to do! Talk, talk, talk, I'm the most talkative monkey-boy hybrid in the world!"
Archer stared at the man, then sighed. "Take him away."
The guards didn't need to be told twice as they dragged the wizard away. "No! Wait, I'm not lying! They are hybrids, not animals!" The man accidentally kicked Cosmo and Wanda from Timmy's hands. They fairies' wands hit the hybrids and the trip floated into the air….
"Awesome! We can fly!" they yelled happily as they floated away.
"They can fly!" Timmy said.
"They can fly!" Ed, Edd, and Eddy said as they were held by a guard, all three of them shocked and amazed. "Eddy, how did they fly? Are they mutant flies!?" Ed yelled, getting groans from Eddy.
"They can talk!" Archer shouted, realizing Russell was right about them being hybrids.
"That's right, pasty!" Winter shouted. "We can fly!"
"You've probably seen a horseflies, heck, maybe even a fruit flies. But you've never seen hybrid flies!"
Unfortunately, the magic wore off and the three crashed to the ground. The rabbit yelled, "Exit, stage left!" before the three took off.
"Stop them!" Archer yelled. "Hey, ugly!" Archer turned to see the Curtis' and Reaper's getting away with their children. Wrath and Grim Jr. made faces as they took off.
"Never mind them now! After those hybrids!" he yelled as he and the guards took off after the three.
The three ran as the guards were hot on their heels as they were chased through the forest.
As the hybrids looked back, they ran into the diclonii and almost knocked them down.
The hybrids saw Lucy glaring at them while Kiko, Nana, and Nyuu stared at them in curiosity.
Suddenly the guards came towards them as GW, MB, and Winter hid behind the diclonii.
Archer stared warily at the horned girls. "You there…horned girl," he said, addressing Lucy.
Lucy, annoyed by the insult, replied, "Yeah…"
Archer took out a piece of paper and read, "By order of Evil Lilo, I am ordered by her word to take you and your comrades away."
"Really?" Lucy smirked evilly as she stepped forward a nervous-looking Archer. "You and what army?"
Archer looked back to see his men had fled. He looked back as the diclonii said simply, "Boo."
He shrieked and took off running.
"He go bye-bye! Nyuu!" Nyuu said cutely as the other girls scoffed and headed home. The hybrids looked at each other in awe and started to follow them.
"Is it okay if I say something?" Glowworm said, and without waiting for a response, spoke, "You all were awesome, especially you!" she said to Lucy.
"Yeah, you showed them whose boss!" Monkeyboy added, smiling at Nana, who smiled a little bit back at him.
"Are you all talking to…" Lucy said as they turned around to find no one there. "Us?" The girls shrugged and turned around to find the three right in front of them. "Don't do that!" Kiko yelled in fright.
Winter ignored the comment and said, "Heck yeah, we're talking to you guys! And I say, you were amazing!"
"Yeah, those guards thought, 'Oh, we're SO cool!' But you were all, 'Yeah, whatever!' and made them go crying to their mommies!" Glowworm said excitedly.
"Oh, good for us," Kiko said sarcastically as they kept walking.
"Man, it's good to be free!" MB laughed.
"Well then, why don't you go celebrate with your other friends?" Lucy told the three as they walked off.
Glowworm said a little sadly, "Well…we only have each other as friends."
Winter then added in a nervous tone, "And we are not going back there again!"
MB got an idea. He whispered his idea to his pals and they smiled. "Hey," MB called after them as they caught up. "We'll stick with you guys. You're all mean, pink haired, fighting machines! Together, we'll defeat anyone that crosses us."
Lucy stopped and tried to scare the trio with her I'm-going-to-rip-you-up-and-enjoy-it look. The three were unfazed, even impressed.
"Wow," they said before GW continued, "That was really scary! And if that don't do the job, you're body odor certainly will. You need deodorant or something, 'cause you need a bath!"
Lucy, offended by GW's remarks, huffed off with her pals under a log only to have the hybrids appear above. "You almost killed me back there with that BO, like the time…"
Although Lucy used her hands to cover their mouths, they all kept talking. Lucy developed the anime anger sign while her pals except for Nyuu were also getting annoyed.
Lucy removed her hands as GW said, "…And then MB tripped me in the mud. We smelled like pig slop for weeks!"
"Why are you following us!?" they yelled while Nyuu shouted, "Nyuu!"
"Why? We'll tell you why…" Monkeyboy said as Winter finished, "In song!"
Winter: Cause I'm all alone.
There's no one here beside me.
Glowworm: My problems are all gone,
MB: There's no one to deride me.
All: But you gotta have friends-
"Shut up, will you! Shut up!" Kiko yelled. "This is why you have no friends!!"
"Wow, only a real friend would be that honest," Winter smiled, making Kiko groan and pulling her hair.
"Look here, you chimeras!" Lucy said angrily.
"We're hybrids, there's a difference," Glowworm corrected.
"Whatever. Looks at us. What are we?" Lucy said.
The three looked at them up and down as MB finally said, "Really attractive girls?" He looked at Nana when he said this mostly, and she blushed.
"Well, yeah…thanks," Lucy said awkwardly. "But we're diclonii, monsters.
"You know, 'Grab your weapons and torches!' Doesn't that bother you three?" Nana asked in surprise to see some people not afraid of them.
They shook their heads as Winter replied, "Nah. We usually get the same threats as well."
"Really?" Lucy said, in disbelief.
"Really, really," GW smiled.
"Nyuu happy for new friends!" Nyuu said.
"I like you guys," Glowworm said. "The name's Glowworm and this is my brother Monkeyboy and good friend WinterLoveSong. What are your names?"
"I'm Kiko," Kiko introduced.
"I'm Nana, nice to meet you," Nana said politely.
"Nyuu!" Nyuu shouted happily.
"The name's Lucy," Lucy responded.
"Lucy?" Winter said, testing out the name. "Well, you wanna know what I like about you and your friends, Lucy? You got that kind of I-don't-care-what-anybody-thinks-about-me thing. I really like that, Lucy. You and your friends are all right."
"Thanks, I think," Lucy said doubtfully.
The gang then stopped to see a run-down forest, with a messy-looking cabin, and an outhouse.
"Whoa, look at that," MB said in disgust. "Who wants to live in a place like that?"
"That would be our home, Monkeyboy," Nana said.
MB changed his attitude and said, "And it's lovely. Just beautiful. You guys are quite the decorators. It's amazing what you do with a modest budget." MB then looked at a boulder. "That boulder is awesome. I love that rock. That's a nice rock."
Down near the house, the group passed handmade 'Keep Out' signs.
GW stopped to look at them and said, "I guess you're not people persons, are you?"
"We like our privacy," Kiko said.
"You know, I do, too," Winter said. "That's another thing we have in common! Like I hate it when there's someone in your face, you try to give them a hint, they don't get it, then there's an awkward silence." Sure enough, there was a big, awkward silence. Lucy turned and glared at Skitty. "Would it be alright if we stayed here?" asked GW.
"I-What?" asked Lucy as her friends were a little shocked.
"Can we stay with you, please?" the three asked, making cute faces.
Lucy and the others smiled and said, sarcastically, "Of course."
"Really?" asked Monkeyboy, hopefully.
"No," they deadpanned.
"Please! We don't wanna go back there! You don't know what it's like to be considered a freak!" Skitty looked at the diclonii for a moment, but then said, "Well, maybe you do. But, that's why we need to stick together! We freaks must unite! That sounded a little wrong. Let us stay! Please! Please!"
Lucy groaned in defeat and said, "Okay! Okay, but one night only!"
"Sleepover!" Nyuu and Nana cheered happily.
"Oh, thank you," the hybrids shouted, running into the house.
"Hey, what are you…?" Kiko shouted as the trio ran over to a couch and jumped up and down on it. "No, no!"
GW excitedly said, "Man, this is gonna be so much fun! We can stay up late, swapping stories of adventure, romance, and pasts. And in the morning-I'm making pancakes!
Lucy and Kiko growled angrily while Nyuu said cutely, "Pancakes are yummy." Nana looked at her two friends nervously as Kiko muttered through clenched, "Must resist urge to…rip…annoying halfas heads off!"
MB, looking around, said, "Uh, where do…we sleep?"
Lucy pointed outside and shouted, "OUTSIDE!"
The hybrids, getting the drift, said sadly, "Oh, well…I guess it's fine. I mean, we don't know you guys and you guys don't know us…" They sniffled sadly as she walked outside, and said, "So we guess outside is best. Here we go." As soon as she was outside the door, she said, "Good night."
Kiko angrily slammed the door shut and they sighed sadly.
"Did yo have to be mean to them?" Nana said to her friends. Lucy and Kiko did feel a little guilty for being mean to them.
But, the group sighed in relief anyways, relieved that they were getting peace and quiet at last, until they heard Winter say, "I mean, we do like the outdoors. We are part animal, we can adapt outdoors. We'll just be sitting by ourselves, outside, I guess, you know. By ourselves, outside."
The group groans and Kiko says, as she and the group walk off and hear the hybrids begin to sing, "This is going to be one heck of a night."
Hybrids: We're all alone.
There's no one here beside us…
GW: How right Kiko is. Next chapter will show where all the prisoners were sent to and the extras with the Donkey characters.
