Professor VonDrake's Extraordinary Time-Contraption-Thingy

As with it's forerunner House of Twisted Toons most of the characters belong to Disney I am merely borrowing them for this story but I do own most of the second generation so some form of notice is required if you wish to use them… This story has links connecting it to both my Hades&Seph fics and Jafar's Disastrous Dates but is not directly related to them. Persephone, Thanatos and Eris all come from my Hades&Seph fics in the Hercules section and as usual those who've read them will have a bit of knowledge on those characters personalities..

This story goes out to everybody who was a part of H.o.T.T in reviews or just silently following the story on the side.. I may have wrote it but you guys made it.. it's been a long time planning but here it is peeps… the sequel. Enjoy.. X


Chapter Eight:Power struggle amongst Peers

Mickey Mouse clapped his hands enthusiastically as he walked back on stage beaming widely at the aging duck who was stood proudly by his machine.

'Danke, danke schoen..' He bowed to the crowd who were still hooting and clapping impressed. Ludwig then smiled widely at Mickey Mouse as he approached him.

'So Mickey..' He folded his arms and cocked an eyebrow at the mouse. '-I guess I'm not just an old quack now am I?' He smirked at the infamous mouse who only gave a trademark chuckle.

'Ha-hah, you sure aren't Professor, that was an amazing demonstration..' He then turned to Donald who was still holding his wife in his arms.

'Donald I think everybody wants to know, what was it like?' The moody duck only smiled at his best friend.

'Oh it was so weird Mickey, I appeared in the back alley behind the show where I found a back pack with this note inside.' Donald pulled a piece of paper out from the breast pocket of his shirt and handed it to Mickey who read:

Dear Nephew,

If you are reading this note you have arrived at the correct location in time and I am a genius (if you are not Donald quit being a nosey Nancy and put this back where you found it!). Inside this bag you will find a disguise and some lozenges to help smooth out the rough tones of your voice, the rest is up to you, good luck..

Your genius uncle Ludwig Von Drake.

'Hmm… you do like to big yourself up don't you Professor..' Mickey muttered rolling his eyes as he handed the letter back to Donald. The moody duck folded it neatly and pocketed it once more.

'So I put on the disguise and sucked a lozenge as I approached myself at the door-'

'Gawsh..' Goofy sounded from the table nearest the stage where he was collecting a few dirty dishes. '-it musta been strange bein' greeted by yourself..'

'Yeh but in a good way, I gotta chance to see how I could improve on my greeting skills..'

'Well at least you learned something Donald, that's the main thing..' Mickey beamed at his best friend, Goofy looked satisfied by the answer and went to return the dishes to the kitchen.

The crowd had now began chanting anew..

'Encore…. Encore…. Encore…. Encore…'

'Uh-oh Professor..' Mickey mouse smiled widely. '-I think the crowd want an encore..'

'Vell then..' Ludwig beamed widely. '-gut thing dat Darcy and I prepared for von-' Then a loud voice cut the aging duck off.

'Hey!'

Everybody on stage turned to see eight year old Darcy Duck wrestling with twelve year old Sinbad over the remote to the time machine.

'Let go of that..' Darcy whined, her quacking lisp was more pronounced in her whinge.

'Oh my..' Daisy sounded placing a hand to her face, one arm still around Donald who was scowling. Those who were in the audience only gasped unable to see clearly who Darcy was wrestling with.

'Get off of her you big meanie!' Another high-pitched girly voice squealed and little Molly Mouse darted out from the opposite side before Minnie could stop her. She grasped her friend and tried to help her pull the remote out of Sinbad's grip.

'It doesn't belong to you..' Molly continued as Darcy let out a resilient quack, not willing to give up the time machine's controls.

'Kids, cut that out this instant!' Mickey stepped forward with his hands resting on his hips in annoyance but none of them were paying attention.

In the crowd, who were looking confused, Hyllos suddenly bum rushed the stage yelling,

'No! Sinbad, don't!' He then scrambled rather clumsily onto the stage before gripping his best friend around the shoulders and trying to haul him off of the two girls.

'Don't… steal… it…' Hyllos grunted while proving that he had not inherited his father's godly strength. '-Eris… is… just… using… you..'


Back in the audience the three villainous children exchanged a worried look.

'C'mon..' Eris suddenly got out of her seat. '-we gotta get that remote..' She then vanished on the spot in a shimmer of red.

'You assist Eris, I'll stop the adults from interfering..' Alcezar sounded and Savannah nodded before they both followed suit. Alcezar in a navy puff of smoke and Savannah in a wave of lilac and black flames.

The three villainous children appeared together and while Eris and Savannah tried to pry the stubborn Darcy Duck, Hyllos and Molly Mouse away from their prize Alcezar Jafar created a thin transparent barrier with a slight blue tinge out of thin air… stopping the adults on stage from interfering with their struggle.

'Hey!' Mickey's voice was muffled by Alcezar's barrier as he banged fiercely on it. 'You remove this, right now!' Alcezar only raised his brows at the infamous mouse.

'And what makes you think I'm going to listen to you?' The demi god sorcerer asked in a smooth but very smug tone while casually checking his nails.

'Outta the way Mickey!' Donald snapped roughly pushing Mickey aside. 'Your too darn soft!' He then glared at Alcezar Jafar who merely gazed calmly back with a slight edge of amusement curling his lips… oh this should be good..

Donald instantly began banging sharply on the barrier.

'Lower this thing or else!' He snapped at Alcezar.

'Or else what?' The demi-god sorcerer asked rudely.

Donald blinked in shock, he'd never had back chat off of anyone except his nephews and even they weren't this ride. There was only a split second before Donald's temper soared.

'Getridoffthisfriggin'barrierrightnow!~!'The duck raged furiously not bothering to pause between words as he practically pulled his own feathers out in fury. He battered the barrier furiously before charging it, pulling out a few more feathers and cursed one long string of angry quacks.

Alcezar blinked, having never seen anybody lose their temper as quick as Donald. The furious duck's temper had even caused a momentary lapse in the squabbling over the time machine's remote. Eris, Molly, Darcy, Hyllos, Savannah and Sinbad were all gripping the remote and all staring at Donald as it took Mickey, Ludwig, Minnie and Daisy to hold him and drag him back from the barrier.

'Do any of you know what this duck just said?' Alcezar raised a brow at his peers and then all seven sets of eyes all turned to Darcy who was his next of kin.

'He said..' Darcy started before taking advantage of their stupefaction and seizing the remote tightly, yanking it sharply and screeching, '-gimmie back my unca's remote!' As she jerked the remote the squabbling started again.

'Let go!'

'It's mine!'

'It's not!'

'She's using you!'

'Get off me you tool!'

'Shut up Hyllos!'


meanwhile in the audience…

Aladdin, Jasmine, Meg and Hercules were all watching with their mouths open in shock, recognising their own son's voices as they argued with their peers.

'Why is it..' Aladdin sounded in a low voice as he covered his face with embarrassment. '-whenever there's trouble Sinbad is in the thick of it..' Jasmine only smiled and placed a finger to her lips before smirking at her husband.

'Hmm, he must get that from you..' She sounded lightly.

'Oh, do you think Hyl will be ok? Those villainous kids have some really nasty powers..' Meg flashed a worried set of violet eyes to her husband but Hercules only threw her a wide boyish smile.

'Heh, don't worry Meg, Hyl is fully trained to deal with this kind of situation..' The young hero had every confidence that his son could help bring this squabbling to a diplomatic end.

Further up the back Maleficent had been watching the raucous with a casual eye, whatever scheme her daughter had cooked up with her new allies had something to do with the old duck's remote, that much she was sure..

'My dear Maleficent..' A voice caused her to blink then the witch-fairy looked around to see Jafar standing their.

'Isn't it satisfying to see the next generation of evil working on a scheme..' Jafar then glanced over at the fighting on stage before turning back and adding with a sneer, '-even if it is just a tad childish..' Maleficent's violet lips curved into a smile at his words and she nodded pleasantly to him.

'Indeed it is Jafar and our children have plenty of time to perfect their schemes so let's not poke too much fun at their first attempt at evil..' Maleficent kinked a brow at the vizier who only smiled and nodded.

'Of course my dear, I hope you do not mind m interrupting your alone time but I wanted to introduce you to Dr Facilier..' Jafar gestured to the tall slim man who was standing beside him. '-he's a new associate of our..' Dr Facilier bent low to Maleficent and took her free hand, kissing it before looking up at her and uttering,

'Enchante mon cheri..' The witchdoctor flashed her a leer and Maleficent remained impassive for a moment before striking him sharply over the head with her green-orbed staff. Immediately Facilier dropped to the floor unconscious.

'Charmed I'm sure..' Maleficent drawled lazily with a glance down at the unconscious witchdoctor before sipping her black cocktail.

Jafar frowned down at the unconscious Facilier before turning to Maleficent.

'What is it with you and my friends?' He asked her kinking a brow.

'This one was creeping me out..' The witch fairy responded in a jaded tone before turning her pale eyes to the stage once more.


back on stage…

'Ve have to do something before those kids ruin my Time-contraption-Thingy!' Ludwig sounded in a panicked tone as the squabbling kids were drawing closer and closer to his invention.

'I know but what can we do?' Daisy asked. 'We're stuck behind Alcezar's barrier..'

'Ok Professor..' Mickey sounded with a smirk at Ludwig, unable to resist as the professor claimed to know everything. 'How do we get passed this barrier?'

'There are only two options..' Ludwig replied with a smile. 'You could get that sorcerer's hat but by the time you get it ve might be too late..' The professor sounded smugly before adding, '-or you simply ask someone in dis audience who ist more powerful than Alcezar to remove die barrier..'

'Urh..' Donald slapped his bill at Mickey who was frowning in annoyance. '-give it up Mickey, just cause ya outsmarted him once doesn't mean it will happen again..'

'Very well..' Mickey sounded pointing a finger at Professor Von Drake. '-we'll just ask Jafar, since Alcezar is his son.'

In the audience Jafar blinked at the sound of his name.

'He's not going to help you..' Von Drake hissed in Mickey's ear but the infamous mouse only batted him away like an irksome fly.

'Jafar..' Mickey sounded kindly over to the vizier. '-would you be kind enough to remove the barrier your son placed on my stage..' Jafar only looked impassively back for a moment before responding.

'No.' He sounded firmly.

'Hey, why not?' Donald asked balling his fists and placing them on his hips in annoyance.

'Because..' Jafar sounded dryly. '-villains don't get involved in schemes concocted by their own offspring..' He rolled his eyes while adding. '-part of the Code of Villainy.'

'I don't remember that being a part of the code.' Mickey frowned folding his arms.

'It's a new addition to the code..' Jafar drawled lazily before returning to his seat.

The seven kids behind the barrier were still squabbling over the remote, fingers were moving over to get a better grip on the remote so it was only a matter of time before some buttons got pressed. As an unknown series of buttons were pressed the time machine seemed to beep and whirr into life.

Both the audience and the adults on stage gasped in shock as the machine seemed to now judder and shake, as if it were about to implode.

'Let go!'

'Gimmie..'

'No..'

'Give it..'

'Don't..'

Then a stray arm knocked the lever activating the machine…


…the machine seemed to get an information overload as it rumbled and shook, causing all seven of the squabbling kids on stage to pause and look at the machine.

'Oh no, what have you kids done?' Ludwig Von Drake cried as the launch pad lit up and because both Molly and Darcy had their feet on it the huge vortex of white light sucked them in first.

Both eight year old girls disappeared with cries of shock…

…then Hyllos instantly followed with a yelp of surprise…

…Sinbad was next with a yell of shock…

…then Savannah, Alcezar and Eris were all sucked in together with cries of alarm…

Daisy gasped and clutched Donald and at the same moment Minnie clutched Mickey with wide terrified eyes.

The machine continued to judder and shake for a long moment, bit dropping off of it before it finally gave out with a loud bang. All the glass was smashed as it fell in a heap of twisted metal with wires poking out, smoke issuing from the top…

all seven kids were gone…

…and without Alcezar Jafar's powers to sustain it the transparent barrier disappeared with a tint of blue shimmer…


Little Notes:

Hey peeps… Wowie, I feel bad for leaving it on a cliff-hanger but I couldn't write anymore without giving away the next chapter (I warn you now, it contains singing!).

Really not much to add note-wise on this chapter except that Mickey's scepticism about Von Drakes abilities is reprised from the 'Ask Von Drake' episode..

Where have the kids gone? What's gonna happen next… and most importantly, where is Thanatos?

Stay tuned for the answer…
