Chapter 7: Don't Ignore the Warning Bells
I arrived in Sunshine plaza unsure of what was going to happen tonight. Wayne's words were stuck in my head. Watch out I'm only the first. Wayne who was now lost, but I had to let go of that and focus on the task at hand. My team was slowly arriving at the center of the plaza where the stage had been this morning. The DHIs were not going to cross over tonight due to the fact they were probably going to stay up all night on their flight. I walked up to the troops and stood before them not really sure what to say.
"What's wrong Kat?" Peter asked?
"Wayne got abducted," I said sadly.
"He got what?"
"He got taken by the Overtakers."
"What! Wayne got taken!" Peter said.
"Who's Wayne?" Indy asked.
"Yeah, I've never heard of him before," Simba said.
"How do you not know who Wayne is. He was one of the original imagineers here and at Walt Disney World, he is like the creator of all rides. He probably worked on something related to all of us at one time!" Peter said.
"How do you know that Peter?" I said.
"He's worked on both my rides in the states. I know him pretty well."
"He's more than just an imagineer isn't he," Indy asked.
"He's my guardian, a lead imagineer at Walt Disney World, and is one of the last living people who knew Walt Disney as a friend."
"So what does he have to do with us?" Jack asked.
"I think he's only the first one to go. You guys are risking your lives now by being near me. I understand if you want to get off the team now, I would actually suggest it. You guys are more then my friends you are my family and I can't risk having you get hurt. You might be captured, and hurt and I'm not sure if I can save you. I can't even detect Wayne, who sticks out when I search for him in the parks with my powers. And if you get abducted then I can't guarantee that I will go after you immediately to find you. I've got to stop the Overtakers before I can do anything else and I'm sorry about that," I ended my speech and evaluated the looks on the team. They were all in thought but I was nervous. Either way if they stayed or went I would loose them as my team members.
"Kat, when I joined this team I didn't sign up to wimp out. I'm here to protect Disney and if that mean I'm risking my life then death is a new adventure," Peter said.
"I knew the risks when you came into my ride for the first time asking me for help, so I'm still in," Indy said.
"As soon as you said glory and rum I knew there was a catch, so I'm in because this place actually has a rum cellar," Jack said.
"It's actually wine," I said.
"It'll do," he replied.
"I knew what I was signing up for Kid you didn't need to warn me," Simba said.
"As soon as you said Overtakers I knew there was danger, but you've helped me so I'm still going to help you," Ariel said.
"When you did those karate moves in a dress I knew that there was danger that you were ready to fight, we are still going to help you Kid as long as you are not captured then hope is not lost. We are strong as one but you are the one who holds us together. Even if we do get taken by the enemy we can work together to find a way out," Mulan said.
"Eh, Stitch no get captured to cute and fluffy," Stitch said.
"We're going to stick together and see it through Kid, you can count on us," Woody said speaking for Buzz, Jesse, and himself.
"I knew you guys would say something like that which is why I didn't want to do this but I'm ordering you to go back. If you don't have an attraction here that has you directly in it, the animation studio doesn't count, then you are being told to leave." The faces of all of my friends fell. Less then half of my team was left after the other would leave. I could see Jack and Indy were going to protest but I stopped them before they could speak. "I'm not sending you away because of the danger, I'm telling you to go protect Disneyland. I have a feeling that they might be hiding the captured people there. I want you guys to stay safe and look out. For all I know this is a distraction and I want to see if you guys can hold down the main fort while I make sure that every thing is ok here. I'll have Ariel, Stitch, Buzz, Woody, Jesse, and Peter for a while.
"Hold on why am I here for only a while?" Peter asked.
"In April the Electrical Parade is taking its last run here and being shipped to the Magic Kingdom. You'll have to follow orders too Peter."
"By why does Stitch get to stay?" Peter asked.
"Meesa Walk Around," Stitch said.
"But Tink's here."
"And are you Tink?"
"Um."
"The answer is no Peter. You're my best friend Pete and I can't risk having anything happen to you. You have a huge target on your back by being close to me and I don't want anything to happen to you or anyone else here, even if it means that I cant hang out with you guys."
"But that gives me only like two days!"
"Then enjoy it. Everyone tonight is most likely the last night that we will fight as a team for a while so make it count no one goes anywhere alone from now on stick together at all times. I don't to lose anyone tonight,' I said sternly.
"You really sure you want to do this Kid. You know you need us," Indy said.
"Don't make this any harder than it has to be Indy. Let's enjoy the time we have together now and work as a team. We are all going to search Paradise Pier tonight."
"So no real exploring tonight just a look around," Jack said.
"Yeah but be careful."
"You always say that Katherine," he said.
"But this time I really mean it," I said as we walked through Golden State past "a bug's land" and the Blue Sky Cellar.
We walked through construction walls that enclosed the path telling of the shows and rides that are soon to come. We soon crossed over the small bridge that lead into Paradise Pier so we could investigate the area or just ride the rides with the full intention of looking for objects out of their place.
We screamed our lungs off on California Scramin' and it didn't look like anything was wrong with one of the most popular rides in the park. The lights seemed to shine brighter as we all laughed at our picture that of course would show up blank to anyone else but a good Disney eye and a character.
We left the waiting area laughing but still vigilant as we walked over to King Triton's Carousel. Ariel seemed to like being reunited with her father as she talked to him as we all jumped on the sea animals that represented some of the sea life that lived in Californian waters. I jumped onto the teal blue dolphin that I used to call Dolly as a small child because I always rode that one. The familiar Beach Boy music came on as the carousel started to revolved.
"If everybody had an ocean across the U.S.A. then everybody be surfin' like Californ-I-a," I started to sing to the music.
"What are you singing?" Indy asked.
"Surfin' U.S.A. it's a Beach Boy classic and it's the song currently playing without the words."
"And you know them?"
"By heart. If you're going to live in California you have to know at least one Beach Boy song especially when you live by the beach."
"You are crazy!" Jack said.
"Look who's talking," I shouted back at him.
"True, but I still don't know this song."
"That's because it won't ever be in a Pirates movie."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Positive," I said and started singing where the words had started back up. "We'll all be plannin' out a rout we're going to take real soon.
We're waxin' down our surfboards we can't wait for June
Tell the teacher we're surfin', surfin' U.S.A.," I continued singing the song as everyone laughed at how I made my voice sound all funny at the high parts. I wasn't as good as Ariel but I was ok when I wanted to be.
We continued on with the ride and soon headed over to Toy Story Mania. Of course Buzz of all people, or should I say toys, beat us at the game. None of us really felt like ridding Mickey's Fun Wheel so Peter and I took a look around it making sure there was nothing wrong with it. And then flew over to the Maliboomer where everyone was waiting for us. We took a ride on the as the ride catapulted us up to the top and jerking us back to the bottom. We walked pass the conversion of the Orange Stinger to Silly Symphony Swings. The Jumpin' Jellyfish and the S.S. rustworthy were two of the kiddie rides in Paradise Pier, rustworthy just being a play area.
"Ok Simba, Ariel, Mulan, Mushu, Jack, and Indy cheek out rustworthy. Everyone else come with me to the jellies," I said to the group.
We boarded the ride all of us taking a seat except Woody, Buzz, and Jesse because they all had to share a seat. The ride was as normal as it ever could be until I saw Jack running away from rustworthy with Indy running after him with Simba. He ran toward Mulholland Madness laughing that at the others couldn't get him something typical of Jack. The jelly fish I was on was still up in the air in its to slow up and down for younger children keeping me trapped on the ride. I tried to escape from the bars so I could save Jack from what only I could see. There was a vortex waiting to trap whoever was in the first car that entered it. The bar was proofed to my magic as my friend was lured into the trap.
"Jack stop! Don't get onto the ride!" I screamed. He looked at me and laughed thinking I was just being a worry wort. "Jack stop please it's a trap!"
But my pleas were not listened to as he boarded the ride. My ride finally came to an end as Jack was strapped into the car and was carted into his doom. I tried to get him to come back off the ride with my powers but they were useless as Jack rode into the vortex that vanished only leaving an empty car to finish the ride without my friend. My crazy brother figure. Captain Jack Sparrow. The only thing that fled the scene was a black rabbit that I thought I saw out of the corner of my eye but that didn't matter they had taken Jack and it was only the beginning.
I sank to my knees as I cried. The only words filling my head were no. This couldn't be happening not to Jack, why Jack. I was lost as I felt someone picking me up in my hopelessness for my friend. It wasn't safe for my friends anymore they were all going to end up like Jack. Someone placed me back in my bed as I cried myself into my human form.
I woke up in my bed the next morning but the sun didn't seem so bright. I was alone. Wayne was gone, so was Jack and it was my fault. The Overtakers only took them because of me and now the Overtakers were going to pay. They were going to give me back my family and they were going to be locked up for a very long time so they could not harm another being. I was mad.
AN~ I know this chap was short but the next chap will be coming soon.
