Three hours after the race, Huey, Dewey, and Louie were pondering something suspicious. All of the princesses appeared to have fallen asleep and could not wake them up.
"How could this have happened?" Dewey wondered.
"No clue." Louie shrugged.
"I think I might have one." Ludwig Von Drake entered the room on a wheeled device. "Now which button plays the footage…ah!"
Ludwig pressed a button and a clip of Pete cackling maniacally played. "Hey there, losers! Can't have a competition without contestants, can ya? Didn't think so!" Pete walked over to the lemonade and poured a powder in it. "The princesses will be locked in a dangerous dream world and I'll shut you down for good!"
Dewey had a tantrum like his uncle. "That dumb fatso spiked the lemonade!"
"How do we get them outta there?" Huey wondered.
Merlin the Wizard appeared in a puff of smoke. "I know how. Pete turned the lemonade into a potion that would put them in a place where an illusion of their foes will haunt them. The way to wake up is to defeat their foe and claim the treasure they guard."
"How did you know about this, Merlin?" Louie asked curiously.
"Ludwig informed me of the recording. I should really be more careful where I throw away my unwanted black magic ingredients. Ludwig, press the large button."
"Yes, sir!"
An image of the princesses in a large hallway filled with doors blocked by the villains of their movies appeared.
"How do we get past them?" Cinderella asked.
Merlin answered through a microphone, "Now ladies, here is what you must do:"-The girls looked around as if they could not tell where the voice was coming from-"Use your resources to defeat each villain and claim the treasure behind their doors. Remember: these foes are illusions. Do what you will to escape this dream world."
Belle exhaled. "All right, we must."
"And afterwards, the winner will get a dinner at the Bella Notte restaurant and the rest will get free doughnuts on the house." Louie bumped into the microphone.
"Louie, what's the big idea?" Dewey questioned.
"I figured we could kill two birds with one stone by making this a round of the competition." Louie answered.
Huey shrugged. "Might as well."
Wendy walked forward to Captain Hook's door. Once she got close enough, she heard a sound like a cannon firing and before she could think twice she and Hook were on a square platform that looked like you could fall off the edges. There were also the boxes. Were these the resources Merlin mentioned?
Hook cackled. "Give up, girl. Do you really think a little bird like you can defeat a buccaneer like me? Keep dreaming!"
Hook swung his sword to strike Wendy but she dodged and hid behind one of the boxes. "Oh, come on, you're as big a coward as Peter! Fight old Hook man-to-man! Er…well, you're not a man, but…come out and fight!"
What did Merlin say? Illusion…dream world…does that mean I can…Wendy thought of happy thoughts and began to fly.
"Oh, come on, girl! Are you going to try and fly away? Ha!" Hook swung his sword and kept missing as Wendy flew away from the blows. Wendy glided behind the captain and pushed his hat to block his eyes.
As Hook struggled to pull up his hat, Wendy began searching through the boxes. Eventually she came upon a ticking clock. She then snuck behind the captain holding it.
"Wha-What's that? That sound! It can't be! The croc!"
Hook blindly ran from the ticking until he eventually fell off the platform's edge. In a blinding golden light, Wendy found herself at the door Hook was guarding. She walked in and opened the chest inside to find Peter's pan pipes. Once she picked them up, she woke up in reality.
"Wendy! You did it!" Louie cheered.
"Yes, thank you, but I have to tell you…"
"Wait until they're all safe Wendy." Dewey interrupted.
"Which one of us should go next?" Cinderella wondered.
"I'll go next." Ariel volunteered.
Aurora placed a hand on Ariel's shoulder. "Good luck, darling."
Ariel smiled and walked toward Ursula. However, this time it was not a platform, but more like a tank full of water. Ariel figured that explained why she was in mermaid form.
Ursula laughed maniacally as she started to form balls of magic and tossed them at Ariel. Ariel exclaimed when one burned her arm.
"You really think you can stop me? Not while I have this!" Ursula summoned the trident and Ariel's eyes widened.
Great…she has the trident…what can I do…does she have a weakness…
Ursula charged up the trident's power and started blasting at Ariel. Ariel successfully dodged them barely by swimming away. Ariel then noticed a suspicious glow from Ursula's pendant. Ariel eventually floated behind Ursula, yanked her hair, and ripped off her shell necklace.
"Wait, what are you doing?" Ursula insisted with horror in her voice. "No!"
Ariel smashed the shell and dark red magic and smoke surrounded Ursula making her writhe and scream. When the smoke cleared, Ursula was nothing more than a plant she once transformed merfolk into. Once the door appeared, Ariel opened the chest to find her prized fork.
"Ariel, are you all right?" Wendy asked when she awoke.
"Oh, yes." Ariel sighed. "Thank you, Wendy."
"I'll go next." Belle explained as she walked forward toward Gaston. Once they were both on a square platform, Gaston said, "Hello, Belle. Now, mind that I'd rather not fight. I think you should have said you'd marry me."
Belle's eyes wandered in thought. Hmm…maybe I won't have to do much fighting…
"You're right, Gaston. Maybe I made a mistake rejecting you." Belle said dramatically.
"You sure did, Belle. Do you regret it?"
"I don't know…" Belle pretended to ponder.
"Oh, come on, Belle!"
"Hey, Gaston, if you let me pass through the door, I will marry you."
Gaston raised an eyebrow.
"What?" Belle shrugged. "You have my word."
Gaston smiled and snapped his fingers to make a bridge to reach the door. He gestured and said, "After you, Mademoiselle."
"Thank you." Belle walked forward and hit Gaston with a book she pulled from a box. He fell off the edge and was holding on by his fingertips. "You're a liar!" He growled.
"You're an illusion!" Belle responded as Gaston's fingers slipped and he fell. Belle crossed the bridge and opened the chest to find the enchanted rose.
Once she woke up, Louie was cheering. "Belle, that was amazing! You're a genius!"
"Merci, Louie." Belle giggled.
Aurora inhaled and exhaled as she stepped up to take her turn. The square platform appeared and Maleficent urged the green glow of the ball of her staff to strengthen. She chuckled. "Now, Rose, you don't have to fight me. No, there is another way."
Aurora listened intently. Surely, Maleficent was telling the truth…she must be…
"Now, all you have to do is touch that spindle. That will send you home."
Aurora turned to a spinning wheel. Yes…she had to touch it…could she defeat her?...Of course not…this alternative seemed much better…she must do it…it will work…
Aurora! Merlin's voice burned in her mind. You must not touch it! She's controlling you! She's trying to trick you! Fight back her evil magic! You must!
He was right…how could she think that it was true…now how to fight back…?
Aurora began to vocalize with her beautiful voice. As she sang, the fog that controlled her grew clearer. All she had to do was continue until Maleficent was gone.
"What?" Maleficent exclaimed. "How could my dark magic fail?"
Aurora opened a box and picked up a fairy wand as she resumed vocalizing. Maleficent started to furiously glow green and she started summoning balls of energy to block attacks.
I must time my attack perfectly…or she'll block it…okay, three…two…one…
Aurora flipped the wand and a stream of magic struck Maleficent in the heart. Maleficent screamed in agony. As the seconds passed, she began dissolving until there was nothing left except her cloak. Aurora then opened her chest to find the Sword of Truth.
Nala ran toward Scar to start her battle. Scar chuckled. "Are you ready to meet your end like Mufasa?"
"Like I'm gonna let that happen." Nala growled.
Scar and Nala lunged at each other. They dug their claws in each other's skin and Scar bit her neck. Nala pushed him off with her hind legs and swiped at his face. Scar tumbled backward and fell on his stomach. Another swipe from Nala sent him over the edge. Nala pulled Rafiki's stick out of her treasure chest.
Jasmine took her chance to confront Jafar. "Hello, princess." He smiled. "Prepare to lose." He used his snake staff to summon fireballs from thin air. Jasmine rolled across the floor narrowly missing them and pulled a curved sword out of a box. She used it to deflect fireballs as she tried to get closer to Jafar (which was not easy since he teleported to different areas.) Eventually, she swiped her sword through him. Then he disappeared as if he were a projection.
Jasmine was able to wake once she got Genie's lamp. Rapunzel picked up her hair and raced her way toward Mother Gothel. Gothel laughed. "Why, Rapunzel, do you really have it in you to face me? You really shouldn't, flower."
"I must!" Rapunzel defied.
"Oh, go ahead be my guest. But you should remember that mother knows best."
Rapunzel angrily picked a frying pan from a box. Gothel pulled out a dagger and lunged at her. Rapunzel knocked it out of her hand with the frying pan and tied Gothel up with her hair. Rapunzel gazed into her eyes and said, "You're not my mother."
Rapunzel pulled her hair and Gothel spun around until she became very dizzy. Rapunzel then struck her with the pan to cause her to fall off the platform. Once Rapunzel opened her treasure chest, it had a lantern like the ones her parents lit on her birthday.
Sally stumbled to face Oogie. Oogie chortled maliciously and pulled out dice. "Let's play, rag doll!" He rolled his turn. The dice resulted in snake eyes. "Ugh, why does this always happen?" Oogie then made the dice result in eleven. "Now, your turn, babe!"
Sally's eyes wandered to a lose string on Oogie's side. "O-okay." Sally then purposefully dropped the dice near Oogie. "Oops!" She bent over and then pulled Oogie apart by tugging the string.
"Oh…this is worse than when it happened in the movie!" Oogie groaned as he dissolved. Sally ran to the chest to pull out Jack's "Sandy Claws" suit.
Mulan made her way towards Shan-Yu and pulled a sword out of one box. "I defeated you once, this should be a cinch."
Shan-Yu clashed swords with her. He attempted to swipe at her torso but she somersaulted above the blow. He swiped at her neck but she ducked. Mulan proceeded to kick his face and then trip him. Mulan slashed her sword through him and he disappeared like Jafar did before him. Inside Mulan's chest was the Emperor's crest.
Once Mulan returned to reality, she said, "Half of us are safe."
"Do you think the rest of us can make it?" Wendy was concerned.
"They have to!" Jasmine responded with a determined look on her face.
A/N Sorry for the long wait. Now that it's summer I have more time to work on writing. I'm dividing this round into two parts for these reasons: 1 I really wanted to update and it takes a long time to write action stuff like this 2 I'm not used to writing action sequences 3 I need to find ideas for the rest of the battles. BTW about not including Kingdom Hearts characters, I think it's because KH is a video game and I wanted to focus on movies. Yeah, like I said, I'm not used to writing action, so I hope I did okay.
