As we walked out of the building, we found ourselves in a late Victorian era-like town (London, to be specific). Marleybone definitely wasn't a pre-historic village (well, that's what Mia and Mike said comparing to what they knew). The inhabitants were mostly anthropomorphic dogs, others included frogs, cats and regular humans. Every dog (and human) wore elegant clothing. The ladies wore beautiful evening gowns, while the men wore top hats and formal suits. But the rest of the population was poor and… well, you can imagine the rest.
Now for the scenery. When we left Krokotopia, the morning was just beginning. While in Marleybone, it was the opposite: the sun was setting. If any of you read any Sherlock Holmes books (or at least saw one movie or show) then you would obviously know how everything looked like. Tall buildings, cars (now that surprised some of us), dirigibles, coaches… everything was there…
"Ok… so… where is the museum anyway?!" Patrick shouted.
"Let's just stop and ask for directions." I replied.
"I'll do it! What? You know I love exploring…" Fiona mumbled.
Savannah giggled.
"Sure, go ahead."
Right after Fiona left, I saw Melissa and Michael's faces and I knew, that they obviously wanted to explore too. After a moment, Mike shouted.
" I bet Scrooge McDuck's Money Bin that there is a jewelry shop around here with spell decks!"
" And I bet Darkwing Duck's sidekick on that!" Mia exclaimed. All Mike did to that response is raise his eyebrow.
"Not without these rocket-boots you're not!" Sophia said.
" Woot! A new gadget!" said Michael putting on the boots. "Do I ring a superhero bell to you?"
"Eh… nope." Mia said before she climbed on Mike's back. In a second, they were off.
"Wait… isn't Darkwing's sidekick also Scrooge's pilot? You know, Launchpad McQuack?" Kevin asked Savannah.
"Yeah. Why you ask?"
"Well… nevermind- " He stopped suddenly. "Guys… do you recognize that girl, over there?!" he pointed to a girl with long, straight, violet hair and a tan-yellow dress.
"Isn't that Heather PixieCloud? You know, from the Fire School and the Life School?" I asked.
"Well it's not Huey, Dewey and Louie from the Junior Woodchucks!"
"Um… we should really take regular breaks…" (1)
Me, Kevin and Savannah walked up to the girl.
"Heather? Is that you?" Kevin asked.
"Kevin? Anna? Savannah? Huh… I didn't expect you here."
"Neither did we! So why are you here?" I asked.
"Well, I decided to visit because I was the best in the fire class while you were gone and won a trip here on a date I choose. Are you here for a similar reason? I've heard that the Royal Museum has new Krokotopia artifacts. Speaking of Krok, weren't you there?"
"Aye- uh, I mean, yea, we were in Krokotopia. And we are here for a 'trip'. Wanna join us?" Savannah asked the pyromancer.
"Sure! I have to get my mind off… er… nothing."
Heather is a slight pyromaniac, just to be clear. Whenever she has a though about something bad in her past she accidentally burns something… like now: she burned a bush. Kevin put it out, don't worry.
We looked at each other, and soon we went back to the place where we waited. On our way, Savannah bumped into someone.
"Dude! Look out next time or I'll…" He looked at the person that bumped into him (Savannah) and his eyes widened. "Wait?! You're a woman?!"
"Brigadoon!- uh, I mean, oopsie! Sorry for that sir!"
"No, I'm the one who's sorry… ma'am?"
Well, at least he is sorta friendly… Savannah thought.
"Well then, I must go now. I have to meet someone named the Team…"
"Ehh… you're looking at them now."
"Huh?! You are?! I'm guessing… you're their leader too? Aren't you?"
"Aye" Savannah replied.
"Oh, allow me to introduce myself. Daniel StormSword: Journeyman Diviner, Adventurer… and Blacksmith Apprentice at your service. Oh, and sorry, about… bumping into you."
"Nah, it's ok. You should see our friends Melissa and Michael. They-"
But before any of us could say something, Mia riding Mike's back raced around the fountain as fast as lightning.
"Watch oooouttt!" Mike yelled.
"It's ok! We got this!" Sophie and Matt shot their magic at the boots and then the twins came flying into the fountain.
"Curse my kilts!" Savannah exclaimed.
"Wait… do you by any chance come from Earth?"
"Aye! But I'll explain later. Now I have to take care of business…"
"Oh, hey guys." He referred to Sophia and Matthew.
"Huh? Hey there, Thor! Whatcha doing here?" Matt said.
Melissa and Michael climbed out of the fountain, all wet.
"Mike! I told you not to go in lightning speed!"
"But I wanted to prove…"
"The only thing you proved is that you're nothing but an accident prone conjurer!"
"But…"
"And you never listen to me anyway! You… you…" before she could say anything, she walked away. Michael became all gloomy.
"I… I always mess things up…" He said to himself crying. It's a very rare sight to see one of the Legend twins cry.
"Look what you two did! Did you even remember that they are best friends forever!? And that they aren't good with gadgets and gizmos?!"
" Well… they are loose cannons around our loose cannons…" Sophia said.
Savannah walked up to the broken Mike.
"Mike…"
"Stay away from me! I'll probably cause an alien invasion in a second…"
"Now that is as ridiculous as the legends of the sandwich ghost!"
"Good point," Michael mumbled.
"Michael, you can't let this break you two apart. I mean, look at you two in the past. What happened to the happy, fun-loving and brave Legend twins that would always stand up for each other?"
Mike had a faraway look for a second. After a moment of silence, he spoke to Savannah with a confident voice.
"You're right! I can't let this, or anything else, break us apart! Family is forever! Mia! Wait!" he ran toward the angry, yet sad, Melissa Legend.
Savannah walked back to the group. The first one to speak was me.
"You like your side-affects, don't you?"
"Well… let's just say it helps me understand them."(2)
We waited and waited at the fountain (oops! Forgot to mention that was an amazing fountain. We could even play mini-games there!). And soon both the Legends and Fiona came back. The twins were as happy as can be while Fiona was also happy because she found a map of Marleybone.
"Okay… let me take a look at that map..." I said.
To be continued…

Usually The only way the whole Team can come together by watching some of their favorite shows. DuckTales, Sam & Cat, Big Time Rush and Kim Possible to be exact.
When they still were in Wizard City, on their mission in Firecat Alley, Savannah was almost shot by an arrow. She was saved by Mike, who pushed her away from harm with his magic. But when he tried to warn her about the arrow he exclaimed McDuck (Due to the Legend twins love of DuckTales) instead of duck. Because of that, on the 2nd Friday of the month Savannah gets animationesia, which causes her to act like Scrooge McDuck. She also get side-affects three days later.

OK, ehem. Thank you so much for these OC's! I don't know why, but I think I like them as much as my own OC's. Speaking of OC's, I'm still accepting more. I also forgot to mention that you can submit TWO OC's if you want to. I will be doing drawings of them when I get the time too, actually.
