(Nellie and MC are seen tied to chairs and at gunpoint as Drake appeared on screen)
Drake: Greetings loyal readers, I am Count Drake! Your guest host for this part of the chapter.
HELP US!
Drake: SILENCE!
(I squeaked and then stayed silent)
Drake: Now then! In this chapter, I will launch my next diabolical plan in getting that Christmas book. And this time I will succeed.
No you won't...
Drake: I SAID SILENCE!
(Whispere to MC) Do something! Save us both.
MC: (Whispers to Nellie) Don't worry, I'll think of something.
(The guns to our heads were cocked as we both whimpered as Drake smirked)
Drake: Now this should keep you both quiet.
You know, I created you, and I can totally wipe you from existence if I have too-
(Drake snaps his fingers and the gunman pulls the trigger, completely blowing my head to bits as MC screams in horror)
MC: NELLIE! OH THE IN-HUMANITY!
(Drake chuckled and continued where he left off)
Drake: Now then, let us proceed with watching my newest plan go through and succeed.
(That's when Drake remembered the disclaimer)
Drake: Oh yes, I almost forgot. The OCs in this story, including myself belong to MC and Nellie. Everyone else belongs to Disney Junior.
Chapter 8: Rat Rampage
Maggie and her friends had venture into Holiday Valley, in hopes of finding more adventure. But as of late, they kept running into trouble with the villains, snow beasts, and Gingerbread men. Maggie was busy writing a few things in her book. "I'll say, we've had quite the adventures so far."
"No joke. Though it wasn't what we were expecting." Peter replied.
Maggie was confused when she turned to face everyone. "What do you mean?"
Amber scowled. "Isn't it obvious? Princess Ivy."
"Captain Hook." Jake added.
"Count Drake." Willow also added.
"If I had to guess, I'd say that there's somebody out there that is trying to get their hands on that book. And I think I have a good hunch of who it is." Shawn added.
Maggie raised an eyebrow. "Isn't it Count Drake?"
"Bingo."
"We kinda already knew that."
James then spoke up. "And what about that snow beast and those gingerbread men?"
Willow would respond saying, "It's possible those were just minor mishaps."
"Or maybe Count Drake could be behind all of this."
Everyone turned to the cartoon all star as he began to explain. "Think about it. Apparently he wants that Christmas Book since it contains mystical powers, and he would stop at nothing to getting it."
Maggie nodded. "I guess you're right, but let's just keep going. There's no way I'll let that evil freak get my book." So all of our friends went ahead and continued their adventure, and hopefully don't run into more trouble. As they did, they trudge up a snowy hill. But it wasn't easy since the winds were blowing, and the snow was pretty deep.
But, nevertheless, they made it. And upon reaching the top, they saw what looked like an army... of rats...
And next to insects, Cubby was completely afraid of rats. And when he saw those big rats, he yelped and hid behind Izzy. "Aw coconuts! Those rats are pretty big." Amber couldn't help but agree as she hid behind Peter for protection. "If there's one thing I'm afraid of other than failure, not being popular, and frogs, it's rats!"
As for Willow, she looked at the rats, and had an idea. "You know! I believe these rats can help us if they're friendly enough. Maybe they can show us the way to the ice palace."
"I thought it was the Holiday Village?" Shawn asked, sounding a bit confused.
"I did mention there being an ice palace. There's still a village though."
"Oh.. right. Now I remember." Shawn said. "Well look, if you're sure these rats can help us. Then go for it! What have you got to lose?!"
With that, the gang walked towards the rats. When suddenly, the rats noticed them and hissed at the gang. This frightened both Cubby and Amber greatly. Maggie backed away a bit. "They don't look happy to see us..."
"They sure don't." Jake replied.
The rats continued to hiss. Then suddenly, "At ease soldiers."
Who was that?
A figure then pushed pats the rats, revealing to be a mouse wearing king like clothes. Could he be the Mouse King? "Well now, just what do we have here?!"
The group felt uncomfortable as the Mouse King walked towards them. "Let's act natural and proper for him." Willow whispered to the others. And do Willow steps up and introduces herself with making a curtsy, "Greeting, your highness. I am Princess Willow, ruler of Magicia. And these are my friends..."
Maggie stepped from behind Willow and curtsied, "Hi. My name is Magnolia Joyner. But you can call me Maggie."
"You can call me Shawn K. I'm a fellow cartoon all star from a realm called the Tooniverse." Shawn introduced himself while bowing.
"I'm Peter Pan. Guardian of Never Land." Peter spoke up.
"I'm Jake, and these are my mateys. Izzy, Cubby, and Skully." Jake added.
"I'm Sofia, and this is my brother and sister. James and Amber." Sofia also added. Once the friends finished introducing themselves, the mouse monarch only glared at them. Then without warning, he turned to his rat army and shouted.
"Cease them!"
Suddenly, the army charged at the group. This caused them to scream with fright and run for their lives trying to avoid the army attacking them. But more rats had blocked their way. They were trapped all around. "Iz! This is an emergency." Jake said. Izzy knew where Jake was going with this, so wasting no time. She pulls out pixie dust from her little pouch as she spreads it and shouts. "Pixie dust-"
But suddenly, before she even throw any dustm a rat snatched the pixie dust from her hands. "I don't think so."
Uh oh...
However, they forgot that Peter Pan had pixie dust as well as he pulls out some and spreads it around on his friends as they soon began to float. "Ha! Ha!"
"See ya around rat army." Shawn said as everyone began to fly away.
BANG!
What was that?
Maggie turned to see the rats holding guns! "They've got guns!"
"RUN!" Jake screamed.
"You mean, FLY!" Sofia corrected.
"Oh.. right." Jake said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
And so the group flew. But the rats kept shooting. "Don't just stand around you fools, keep up with them." The Mouse King ordered. The rats started to run towards the flying group as they kept shooting. While from a distance, Drake and his other evil allies watch from afar. And Drake just smirked. However Hook just scoffed as he said, "How are a bunch of rodents going to stop those brats?"
"Patience Hook, I assure you all will go well."
Back with the gang, they were still flying, trying to dodge the bullets. But however as they did, it was completely difficult. Especially for Peter as Amber was holding on to him tightly.
Suddenly, Cubby screamed in pain as he felt his left foot shot by a bullet. And that caused him to fall to the ground. "Cubby!" His mateys shouted as they flew down towards him. That's when the rats started to shoot nets instead of bullets. And soon enough the Never Land Pirates were trapped, as the others stopped flying to see the pirate crew in trouble.
"Goodness!" Willow took out her wand and was about to free the mateys until not only did her wand get knocked out of her hands, but also caught in a net. Maggie and the royal children tried to help, but unfortunately they get captured as well. Soon all that were captured get taken by the army as they march off back to their camp base. However once they were out of sight. Little did they know was that Shawn K. and Peter Pan were not captured, but saw their friends being taken away.
"This isn't good Shawn. we've gotta save our friends!"
As Peter said that, a dart hit his shoulder, and he became drowsy. "Peter!" Shawn said as he noticed a rat soldier had shot Peter, so wasting no time. Shawn uses his cartoony powers to whisk him & Peter somewhere safe, a place the rats nor the Mouse King would ever find them. And that place was... behind a tree. Soon once they were behind the tree, Shawn places himself and Peter over an in-destructable shield. Once under it, Shawn tries to wake Peter up. But to no avail.
However, there was one tactic Shawn had left that even Peter couldn't stay awake from. And it was this! Shawn pulled out a trumpet... but before he could use it, he felt a dart in his shoulder.
"Ow!" Shawn said, but surprisingly he didn't feel drowsy at all as he took the dart out. Looked up in the branches, then throws it up there. And as expected, there was one rat soldier hiding in the tree from inside the shield as it passed out. "Thank goodness for me, I am an immune system from K.O. Darts."
Back at the mouse kings camp base...
The others were tied up to a totem pole as the Mouse King's army circles around them.
By this time, the Mouse King would come through the army and walk up to the children.
"So, a group of children have the nerve to trespass on my territory. Well, I'm sure your quite new around these parts. So I think it's only fair we explain the punishment is for trespassing on my property."
Amber started to whimper. "I don't like this! I want Peter!"
The Mouse king snaps his fingers, and one of the rats brought Amber towards him. Then to her absolute horror, this happens! The rat soldiers began to spread her entire body with their toxic wastes and such. Amber screamed in pain as the others watched in horror.
At that moment, Amber screamed at the top of her lungs.
"PETER PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN!"
Back with Shawn and Peter, Shawn was still trying to wake Peter, but that sudden scream seemed to wake up Peter instantly. "Amber!" He exclaimed. "She's in trouble."
Immediately Peter tried to fly, but his head ends up colliding into the invisible wall of the shield as he falls back to the ground.
"You okay Peter?"
The boy groaned. "What did you do, Shawn?"
"Oh I placed us under a shield to protect us from the attack by the rats." Shawn said as he takes down the shield. "Sorry."
Peter got up and looked around. "Where is everybody? I can't remember."
"They were ambushed by the rat army and have been taken back to their camp." Shawn explained. "And right now, I think they're in trouble."
"PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"
"And that was Amber..."
Taking hold of Shawn's arm, he and the all star fly off to the camp as fast as they could. Back at the camp, all was not well at all. For Amber, cause right now, lots of the rats waste and other gross stuff was all over Amber. And she did not like it at all, and it was worse as the Mouse King was laughing.
Back at the pole, while the two rats were watching guard of them. One of them smelt something smelly, as he covered his nose.
"Geez louise, what is that stench?!" Rat guard one asked.
Apparently it wasn't coming from the other rat, but the smell was coming from Cubby. But what was it? Willow noticed as used her finger magic to get rid of the smell... as well as put some shoes on Cubby. Cubby didn't even realize this occur as he and the others just watched with horror seeing what Amber is being forced to go through. And right now, they had to do something quick before this happens to them and save Amber, along with getting out of here.
"Please... stop..." Amber sobbed.
"Oh, but were just getting started. But now, I think it's time your friends joined in." The Mouse King told her as he snaps his fingers again.
"STOP!"
Out of nowhere, Peter and Shawn appeared. Peter was giving the Mouse King a death stare...
"Release the princess..."
Drake: I think we'll stop here for now. Keep the suspense intact.
(MC glares at Drake)
MC: A cliffhanger really?!
Drake: Well, what did you expect you fool?
(Drake suddenly found himself being tied up by the same rope that both Nellie and MC were tied too & are untied from now)
Drake: ACK! What the?!
(That's when I appear)
I told you...
Drake: How are you still alive?
I'm the author of this story, what I say goes. And I say you better get your butt back in the story where you belong.
Drake: And if I refuse?!
I will wipe you from existence-
(A gunman pops in and shoots my head to bits once again, as my decapitated body falls to the ground in front of a horrified MC)
MC: NOT AGAIN!
(Drake chuckled as he freed himself from the rope, showed his fangs, and turned to MC)
Drake: Not unless you don't want your blood taken, you better rap this up.
MC: *Gulp* O.. okay.. Please read and review readers.
