(Frank and I meet with everyone Gloyd had pranked since last week, which comprised of Applejack, Chuck, Judy, James, Rancis, Chazz and Blaze)
Me: Okay, Frank and I called you all here for the very same reason.
Applejack: You better believe it, partner. Gloyd's pranks have been nothing but trouble for us.
James: You got that right. Just last Wednesday, he glued mine and Rancis' hands to the game controllers before we started playing Street Fighter. It took us a whole day to get all of that glue off.
Judy: And he covered my carrots with sneezing powder after that. By the time I found out, I wound up sneezing for hours.
Chazz: Not to mention turning my room into an igloo.
(I look over to Blaze, who's wearing a cloak over her head)
Me: What about you, Blaze? What kind of prank did he hit you with?
Blaze: You do not want to know.
Me: Anyway, it's time we put the prince of pranks in his place. Sunset Shimmer decided to keep Gloyd busy by taking him trick-or-treating.
Frank: That's right. And here's how we pull it off.
(Frank begins explaining our plan to get back at Gloyd)
Heroes Unite!
Chapter 4: Into the Dreamland, Part 2
The heroes have arrived at a stone castle with a scary-looking face on the top of a mountain. "That must be King Dedede's castle." Luigi said.
"So, what's the plan?" Marinette asked. Fox looks towards the guarded gate.
"Okay, the front gate is guarded, so what we should do is start climbing the walls and get in through the windows." Fox suggested. He looks towards the gate again, only to find all of the guards knocked out, thanks to Knuckles. "Or we can smash our way through. That'll work." The others come out and join Knuckles.
The Angel Island guardian rapidly punches the gates until they fall. "Knock, knock!" He said with a serious face.
"AAH! Stop them, Waddle Dees!" Escargoon commanded. Soon, a bunch of troops came out. They have round bodies with tan, pear-shaped faces, chestnut-colored eyes and they have no mouth. They also have short, stubby arms, light orange/tan feet and rosy cheeks. Some of them are armed with either spears or bows.
"Is this some kind of joke?" Adrien asked.
"Looks can be quite deceiving, Adrien." Falco replied as he kicked away a Waddle Dee.
"Lucky for us we still have our powers, right Adrien?" Marinette asked with all her nervousness gone now that she knows who he is and vice versa.
"You got that right." Adrien replied with a grin.
"Time to transform!" Both of them shouted simultaneously.
"Tikki, spots on!" Marinette shouted as she transformed into Ladybug.
"Plagg, claws out!" Adrien shouted, transforming into Cat Noir.
Krystal took out her blaster and shot two Waddle Dees and kicked away another. Cat Noir used his staff to knock away three Waddle Dees to a wall. "Nice one." She complimented.
"Thank you." Cat Noir thanked the telepath.
Obi-Wan took out his lightsaber and slices off the spearheads. Sofia blasts five more with a lightning spell from her Dream Rod. Mario punches two Waddle Dees and Shadow extinguishes the remaining ones with his Chaos Spear.
"That's the last of them." Sonic said. "Let's go." They continued running through the castle until they reach a set of large double doors.
"My scanner shows that the object King Dedede stole must be through those doors." Tails reported.
"But the door's locked!" Luigi pointed out.
"Leave that to me!" Cat Noir said as he activated his secret power. "Cataclysm!" Black energy enveloped his right hand and once he touched the door, it collapsed within seconds like a house of cards.
"Ring-ring!" Knuckles shouted.
"You guys again! Now see here, this here item's mine and mine alone!" King Dedede said.
"You have no idea what kind of power you're holding." Scarlett said.
Sofia tries to hit King Dedede with a fire spell, but King Dedede uses the object to go through a blue portal and nearly whacks her with his hammer. Then, he goes back to where he warped.
"How did he do that?!" Ladybug gasped.
"How should I know?" Shadow replied.
Luigi fires a green fireball at the Dream Land King, but he uses the object to warp behind him and whack him with his hammer. "You've got to be kidding me!" Cat Noir said before being whacked by King Dedede with his hammer.
He continued warping back and forth as he whacked Sonic, Knuckles, Mario, Falco and Slippy. "Hang on. One, two, three." Krystal whispered. Once King Dedede warped behind the Cerinian telepath, she dodges his attack. "It's a pattern!"
"Got it!" Tails said, dodging King Dedede's hammer.
"You can't dodge me forever!" King Dedede shouted. "I am the king!"
"We don't have to!" Ladybug said as she used her special power. "Lucky Charm!" Once she used it, a steel rod materialized. "A steel rod? How can we beat him with this?" She used her Lucky Vision and puts together a plan involving some other steel bars, a wood board, and her yo-yo. "I've got an idea." She turns to Anakin. "Anakin, think you can make a cage with those bars and that board over there?"
"Not a problem." Anakin said as he used the Force to put together the cage. Ladybug ties the yo-yo string to the top and raises it high in the air. King Dedede warps behind Shadow and raises his hammer.
"Shadow, get out of the way!" Ladybug called out. The Ultimate Life-Form jumps out of the way as Ladybug drops the cage on top of King Dedede by untying the string from the cage.
"Hey! What's the big idea?! Let me out of here!" King Dedede shouted.
"Not until you give us the object you took!" Shadow demanded.
"Well, why don't you make me?!" King Dedede challenged. Suddenly, a rift opened underneath King Dedede and pulls him in and the object began to get sucked in as well.
"The object!" Sonic exclaimed.
Ladybug used her yo-yo to lasso the object. "Got it!" She shouted.
"Hurry! Into the rift before it closes!" Obi-Wan shouted as he moved the cage and jumped in the rift with the other heroes following. Once Knuckles jumped in last, the rift closes.
Meanwhile, in Foundation Prime, Lord Vortech's lair is being built while Lord Vortech himself is on his throne. After a few seconds, Kirby and King Dedede come out from the rift. "Ah, heroes or villains?" Vortech asked.
"I'm a king and what's he doing here?!" King Dedede asked as he was about to smash Kirby with his hammer.
"Hold it!" Vortech shouted as two henchmen that resemble blue cosmos grab Kirby and a large, yellow star. "I've seen enough. You with the hammer, to the right. As for you, my little pink friend, to the left. Oh and you won't be needing that Warp Star of yours anymore."
The guards place Kirby in a cage next to General Pepper, Ahsoka, Alya, Amy, Princess Peach and Amber. Then one of the guards places the Warp Star on one of the pedestals in the center, along with the Power Star, Alya's cellphone, the Krazoa Staff, the Holocron, Amber's hand fan and the Chaos and Master Emeralds. "Poyo?" Kirby spoke.
"Any idea where we are or what's going on?" Amy asked.
"Poyo…" Kirby spoke as he shook his small body.
"They took your Warp Star? How awful! They took my Power Star, too." Peach said.
"Along with my cellphone." Alya said.
"And even the Emeralds." Amy pointed out.
"They took the Holocron, too." Ahsoka said.
"As well as the Krazoa Staff I was holding." General Pepper said.
"And my fan." Amber said.
"Don't worry, Amber. We'll get everything back." Ahsoka assured her.
"Ah?" Amber gasped.
"And then I will have to return them to their rightful place." Ahsoka said.
"Aw..." Amber sighed, dejected.
Later, a rift opens up and coming out of it were Loki and Shang Tsung. "Are you heroes or villains?" Lord Vortech asked.
"Why yes, I am a villain." Loki replied with a bow.
"As am I." Shang Tsung added.
"Perfect. Proceed to the right, please." Vortech stated and motioned to a wide range of weaponry.
"With all of these at our disposal, my sorcery's about to have a field day." Shang Tsung smirked evilly.
"I like you already." Loki said.
Meanwhile, our heroes came out of the gateway and land on the ground. "Looks like we lost King Dedede." Fox said.
"Yeah, and I almost lost my lunch." Cat Noir said, dazed.
"Hey, nice work. You found the Shift Keystone." The Gateway said. The Keystone floats out of Ladybug's hand and it connects to the left side of the Gateway. "This can take you from one place to another."
"Uh, what's a Keystone?" Knuckles asked.
"My guess? It's this." Ladybug answered, pointing to the Keystone.
"I take it these Keystones have unknown powers." Slippy stated.
"And from what we heard just now, that one can open up portals. Who knows what the other Keystones can do?" Cat Noir asked as his ring beeped and so did Ladybug's earrings. "Uh-oh."
"Looks like we're about to transform back." Ladybug stated.
"Hold on a moment." Sofia spoke up.
"What is it, Sofia?" Ladybug asked.
"I read somewhere that my amulet has powers similar to your Miraculouses, so maybe…" Sofia said as the Amulet of Avalor glowed as some of its energy lifted off of it and entered their Miraculouses. Both Miraculouses stopped beeping and gained all of their paws/spots back.
"That's purr-fect! A full recharge!" Cat Noir exclaimed.
"Guess we don't have to worry about you two changing back." Slippy grinned as he approached the gateway controls and looked at it. "And to answer your question, Cat Noir, I've got good news and bad news. The good news is that gateway can locate the other Keystones."
"Can they pinpoint their accurate location, Slippy?" Tails asked.
"Well, that's the bad news. It can only locate the worlds the Keystones landed in, not the location of the Keystones themselves." Slippy said.
"Perfect. Just perfect." Falco complained.
"But don't worry, I just found where the next Keystone is." Slippy reported.
"Well, what are we waiting around for?" Sonic said. "Let's get moving!" Soon, everyone jumps in the gateway.
(After a night of trick-or-treating, Gloyd enters his room, only to find it dark)
Gloyd: Okay, who turned out the lights in here?
(As soon as Gloyd stepped in, he feels something on his feet. He turns on the lights and sees a zombie Sunset Shimmer)
Zombie Sunset: (Growls)
Gloyd: Z-Z-Z-Z-Zombie!
(He rushes out of his room, only to run into a zombie Applejack, Judy, Chuck and Chazz. He screams and turns around, only to face Rancis, James, Frank and Blaze, zombies as well. He backs into a corner)
Gloyd: No, no, please! Stop! Don't eat me!
(He hears laughing behind them and the zombies stop)
Me: Okay, you guys. He's had enough for one year.
Gloyd: Huh?
(The masks come off one by one, revealing that the zombies aren't zombies at all)
Gloyd: What on earth is going on here?!
Chazz: We had enough of your Halloween pranks, Gloyd.
Me: Yeah, so some of your prank victims and I talked it over and decided to return the favor by scaring you.
Gloyd: And the best way to do that is by using zombies?
Frank: Since Chuck and I liked to kill zombies, I thought it'd be fun acting like one.
Gloyd: Well, I got to admit, you guys got me good. I almost wet my pants there.
Me: Well consider that your last Halloween treat this year.
Gloyd: Thanks, guys. That was quite a scare. Guess I better give my candy to the others. (Leaves)
Chuck: Well, I guess Operation: Prankster Payback went well, huh?
Me: I should say so. I better upload this chapter as soon as I can. You readers may rate, review or fav. Archer out!
