Chapter 9.
Jay was the next out of the Vks to wake up, in a bed softer than a cloud in the morning sky. Jay couldn't help but feel nauseous and dizzy but he has never been the kind of boy to let sickness take control over him. When his eyes finally have regained complete focus and are back to normal so he can see clearly. To Jay's horror, he sees two people standing in front of the bed with a look that screams they are about to demand an explanation! Jay quickly jumps out of the bed.
"Where am I?" Jay almost demands.
"Agrabah and you're safe as are your friends." The woman responds gently wanting to keep Jay as calm as possible.
"My friends are here how is that possible?" Jay asked.
"No, not in Agrabah in Storybrooke, it appears that when your friends and a trio spells clashed it sent you all to our universe of storytelling to your parents' counterparts. So, I assume you're smart enough to recognise us as Aladdin and Jasmine," Aladdin says taking in the physical features of Jay.
"Then, you must be making some mistake dudes, because I am not Aladdin and Jasmine's son," Jay replies this didn't make sense he knew his father was not his mother, he was told by his father that his mother was just some rich woman who he later killed after he fell bored of her. Aladdin and Jasmine just stare at one another, the Jafar of their universe was ruthless but Auradom's Jafar stealing the child of his enemies to raise as his own is something twisted they never could have imagined!
"This is a lot to understand why don't we show you to our royal looking glass so you can speak to our friends and get an update on yours," Jasmine suggests, she didn't want to push the matter of Jay not waking up in their universe's version of Jafar just yet the poor child has been through enough already.
"Sounds like a plan once, I know they're okay, I can head straight over to them so we can fix this mess," Jay replies.
Aladdin and Jasmine just had an instinct that Jay would be a problem and he could be for a while. The discovery wouldn't be easy for anyone to accept but Jay already seems like a person who trusts very few.
Now, I bet you're wondering about the computer genius whose misfortune in life was being born to Cruella De Vil. The dog hating psychopath. Over at Cruella's newfound mansion in Storybrooke, Cruella has secrets like everyone people assume that her losing the ability to kill was her biggest secret but there are all wrong. Cruella has been stuck inside her mansion for the past few days. Cruella enters one of her spare-rooms and sees lying on the bed an unconscious Carlos. Cruella looks at the child intensely for what felt like hours but it was only a mere second. The child brings Cruella unbearable sadness to be taunted with the very thing she wanted for decades but never got. This has to be some cruel joke to set up by one of the residents and she will punish them for it. The child then starts to stir his eyes begins to flutter open. Upon setting eyes on Cruella, Carlos's instincts kick in making him jump slightly and push himself further near the headboard.
"W...Who are you? Where am I? Why are you dressed as my mother minus styled crazy hair." Carlos asks.
"Cruella De Vil, of course, darling the black and white classic hair and fur coat give that away," Cruella responds.
"No! That's not possible I know what my mother looks like." Carlos shouts with heavy fear in his voice. Something clearly went wrong but he doesn't know what all he does know that he is not in Auradom any more.
"Darling just speak a little quieter please I had five too many gins last night," Cruella says rather softly and out of character for her most people would think.
"Look please don't kill me, I have so much I haven't had the chance to do yet," Carlos begs.
"Oh, you kidnap one child and all a sudden you're branded as the town's child snatcher," Cruella complained.
"My mother never kidnapped any children, skinning children was never worth it in her eyes dog fur was much more comfortable and stylish in her eyes," Carlos spoke.
"Well, she had some sense of style. And besides, why would she ever consider wanting to skin a child?" Cruella asked.
"Look, scary lady, I will answer whatever questions you want just tell me where I am and how I can find my friends," Carlos said.
"Storybrooke and as for friends I have no idea darling," Cruella answered.
"Then I have to find them," Carlos responds before getting off the bed.
"Correction, you will stay here I have a few phone calls to make." Cruella corrected as she pulls out her mobile phone.
Now back in Auradom, over at Belle and Adam's royal palace. We have in Adam's study, Zeus, Adam and Belle with Hercules standing around one another.
"It shouldn't have been possible for the bolt to be stolen in the first place," Hercules commented.
"Of course, it wasn't I used some of the oldest forms of Blood Magic only those of my bloodline and my alone excluding my siblings and any of their offspring," Zeus responds.
"Then Hades found a way around it," Belle spoke.
"Except, Hades is still trapped in the Underworld. We checked that the moment the bolt was stolen." Hercules responds.
"Than who would be powerful enough to summon the bolt?" Adam questions.
"Without the protection spell, only those who carry divine blood anyone else would simply die they wouldn't have the power to and the bolt would just kill them instantly," Zeus explains. Before any of the other three can speak Hilda daughter of Hercules enters.
"My cousin, Hagon would be the perfect candidate," Hilda said as she entered.
"Perhaps but he isn't skilled enough to break the spell," Zeus replied.
"Would blood belonging to one of your descendants do?" Hilda questions.
"Yes, but you would need something to represent Hercules," Zeus answered.
"Would an envelope opener knife do the one Hercules gave to us to show support when we founded Auradom? Earlier on I was in Ben's office and found it missing." Belle questioned.
"Using Hilda's blood and that opener knife as symbols of my descendants broke the spell. This crime can't go unanswered for we have to retrieve the Thunderbolt and bring the children to justice." Zeus shouts his voice filled with fury.
"But you guys can't crossover grandpa, remember? If you did our home could die its the god's magic that fuels our entire universe of storytelling." Hilda reminds Zeus.
"Than what do you suggest we need to find a way to tap into the magic that sent them to another universe. The only reason we know that the Thunderbolt is in another universe of storytelling is that grandpa can't sense it. Then I can follow them to take back the Thunderbolt and bring those villains to justice." Hilda suggests.
"You will have to take with you the Blade of Hagon," Zeus says.
"Don't grandpa I won't hesitate for a second to end Hagon permanently," Hilda said.
End of chapter 9.
