Chapter 11:

Lion's MIA, Tiger's Trying to Kill Me, the Bears are a No Show, Just My Luck

The days had come and gone and nothing had happened in a while. The night after we talked with Walt the team was introduced to my cousin, but they were still wary of him. Nothing had happened and we were all nervous but I still was worried about things.

"Kat? Hello you still with us?" Tyler asked as I stared out into space recapping on the last few days.

"Um yeah what did you just say?" I asked as I stared at my soup.

"You are so out of it. I have a bad feeling about something."

"I always have a bad feeling about something when I'm in a battle."

"Well wake up Kat you know they wouldn't want you to mourn them."

"I'm not mourning them I just wished I didn't listen to Finn and asked Philby about the letter before he was taken."

"Ha ha. But seriously Katherine. I have a bad feeling tonight," he said as he stared at the walls of construction that lined the drained river.

"That doesn't mean we aren't going in."

"I know but I just don't want you to be day dreaming when you are suppose to be leading us into an epic battle."

"You know I've done this kinda thing before. I'm not scared for myself I'm scared for the poisoners of war."

"I know. Did you hear anything from Finn recently?"

"No."

"Well it's getting late I can here the fireworks going off," he said picking up our trash before leaving.

We walked in silence. It had been a long day, I had worked while he did some work for school. He was home schooled and liked it, although he said he wanted to have his senior year in a real high school. We investigated some ride mishaps in Disneyland but it was nothing horrible. There was a few rides that were a little twisted in Fantasyland but it was only near the castle.

We walked into the firehouse after having eaten our dinner at California Adventure. We both walked into our rooms and feel asleep in an instant.

I opened my eyes to see that I was sitting on a bench in Sunshine Plaza with Ty next to me. I got up and started looking for the others. The plaza seemed so welcoming despite the dark times. The magic was always here though, it was Disney. I sighed as I messed with the water for a bit. It wasn't long before I heard someone behind me.

"Have you ever been told that you look like Mickey?" Finn asked from behind me.

"Nope that's a new one," I said letting the water move on it's own.

"Well not like a mouse but in Fantasia when Mickey is controlling the water and you just seem to symbolize peace," he said.

"In the movie Mickey is in the middle of mayhem not peace smart one. But thanks anyway for trying to give me a comment," I said as I stepped of the rail to face him, " Is your team here yet? Things have been quiet with the Overtakers recently and I don't like it. Something's up."

"Yeah Tod said something about that when I showed up."

"You trust him?"

"Yeah. I saw the fireworks that it took to get him normal, plus I feel bad for the guy. He had to live with the Overtakers for so long."

"Don't tell him that, he hates the pity," I said stepping away from the railing.

"I wont then. Your team here yet?"

"Almost, yours?"

"Well they're here but still half asleep. Also the others who are captured are fine in the day and are not stuck in SBS, they just cant remember anything from the night."

"Glad it's working."

"Yeah well I'm going to wake up Willa and Maybeck I suggest you get your team too."

"I have no idea what we are going to do tonight."

"Well we'll just do the usual."

"Guess so."

Finn started to wake up his friends while my team walked over to me. All four of them. It went down from a ton to none in just a day. I sighed and walked towards the small team that had faces of pure fear and worry on others. My mind went into panic mode immediately. What had happened to get them this freaked out. What is going on?

The scared faces were noticeable on every face that was there. My mind was in hysterics. They wouldn't talk but there faces seem to say a thousand words that I didn't want to here. A million pleas ringed in my ears. The screams of my friends echoed in my brain. Not again. They were suppose to be safe. But I guess no one is safe when it comes to the Overtakers. Although I already knew the answer I had to ask the question any way. I had to put a brave face on for them. There was going to be no more tears I was going to get them back before I could cry.

"What happened?" I asked. Each of the four faces in front of me looked to the ground. Not one of them would look me in the eye and Ariel was trying hard not to cry. "Tell me what happened guys. If they went missing I can take it. I want to go see if they left any behind so we could help them."

"They took them all," Woody said.

"We saw them take Indy and Simba," Jesse said.

"And I saw them take Mulan and Mushu," Buzz said.

"And they took Eric from me," Ariel sobbed.

"They took Eric? I can understand why they took the team, but why him..." I figured it out. They took my friend who was more like a sister's husband away from her as a hostage. They were going try to get her to tell us our ideas or tricks but thankfully we had none. I hugged Ariel as she cried into my shoulder and I was thankful that she was ok. She may be a polar opposite from me at some times but she was a great friend.

"Kat," Tyler said as he saw what was happening.

"Already know. Get the DHIs we are going to Disneyland."

We walked across the plaza to both of the parks where the white gazebo like ticket booths with the chains that rattled in the wind were empty. I hated it when the park looked like this. It felt so wrong. Usually characters were running to go on the rides at night and families during the day. The stones with the names seem to make my footsteps echo when in reality they were basically soundless. Emptiness made everything louder here, and I hated it.

The DHIs, Tyler, and I walked through the plaza while the characters were already waiting for us in the gates. The glowing forms seemed to illuminate to much light while Ty listened for anything trying to sense the villains power.

"Got anything?" I asked Ty.

"No, you?"

"Nothing out of the ordinary. But I can feel them," I said clutching my glowing green necklace.

"You are a horrible liar," Maybeck said to me.

"Shut up."

"Well if there was nothing out of the ordinary then why is the crown glowing like Rudolph's cousin Greg the Green Nosed Reindeer?" Willa asked.

"Fine something is wrong. But nothing we can't handle."

"Then why are you in panic mode?" Finn asked.

"Not," I said firmly as I slapped him.

"Calm down Kat, your glowing almost as bad as the DHIs. We don't need four flashlights, three is bad enough." I took a deep breath and calmed down so I wouldn't give us away.

"Still there?" I asked about my team who was hopefully still in front of the gates. I could sense characters and locate them but Ty could literally find them as in GPS and know what they were thinking at the moment.

"Yes. Where are we going?" he asked.

"We all stick together no splitting up in here," I said giving the basic instructions. "We are going to check out the two places where they are the strongest."

"And that would be?" Maybeck asked.

"Rivers of America and Sleeping Beauty's Castle," Tyler answered immediately.

"Why there?" Willa asked.

"Fantasmic has all the villains in the park, and Sleeping Beauty's Castle has the belief from the fireworks which have villain scenes and Maleficent is in there," I answered as we walked through the turnstiles. My team joined me and was updated on the rules as we ran to Frontierland.

The new water had been filled and the river was open now as today was the opening day. I looked to Tyler asking him to look at what was going on. I did the same thing my necklace wasn't glowing so bright but that was when I got an idea.

"Who wants to play hot and cold," I asked. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy until Tyler looked at me like I was a genius.

"The necklace shows where evil is so it will shine brighter when we are closer to the villains," Tyler explained.

"I knew that," Maybeck mumbled not liking to be showed up in knowledge.

"The castle seems like the hot spot. Everyone scout the area real quick stay close just in case they are jamming it or something. Ariel you stay here, you too Tyler," They both walked over to me as everyone else fanned out around the river.

"Ariel I want you to go back with your dad and continue the search for Eric with him."

"What? Why?" she asked.

"Because I know that is what you want to do. And if you or your dad find him then they will have everyone else there probably. Stay safe though I don't want you to give yourself over to the villains to save him because they wont let him go if you find him or are lured you scream for Tod in your mind as loud as you think you can. Do you have that?" I asked. She threw her arms around me and thanked me. I nodded to Tyler and he took her to Trident.

I stared at the water that was unusually clean for the river. I kinda missed the murky water that hid all the treasure. Well if you call a computer tower, a ton a beads, cell phones, Mickey ears, and trash, treasure. The water seemed to remind me of what I was suppose to be doing as I turned and looked for Tyler waiting for him to come back.

"So I thought you had told them to call me Tyler?" my cousin asked from behind.

"I did doesn't mean they are."

"I don't want to be called Tod anymore. Bad memories."

"It's okay Ty everyone calls you Tyler or Ty now. It just slips plus get used to it I'm called Kid cause it's what my initials spell just like yours so don't be afraid of your name."

"I know so we going to go to the castle now?"

"Yeah," I said as everyone walked back in to report they had found nothing. But the night was still young and there was a castle we needed to check out.

We walked through over the drawbridge and past the arch with the family crest. The usually joyous area seemed dark and depressing. What was going to happen in Fantasyland. The carousel horses seemed nervous as I walked over to them and petted their noses trying to sooth them. I looked around the the area. I felt the evil in the area. Not good.

I turned around waiting for the trouble. I knew there were at least five different evil characters in this section of the park right in one of the happiest of the lands. Captain Hook, the Evil Queen, Stromboli, pink elephants, Monstro, the Queen of Hearts was close, Ursula, the Evil Stepmother, and not to mention most of the characters in Mr. Toad's Wild Ride are dangerous. Dang, I thought this place was suppose to be good! This was not going to be good I could sense that already. I hate the fact that we might be ambushed, but we have Ty I hope he knows something.

Then I saw them one at a time come out into the open. The Evil Queen, stepped out of the shadows of her ride as a hag. Captain Hook looked as sly as ever with his sword drawn. Then the animatronics pirates that always came to an Overtaker bash. Then someone I didn't expect leaped down from the top of Casey Jr., Shere Khan. The tiger walked gracefully towards me and my friends. I recognized him now as the tiger from the Jungle Cruise.

"Guys get ready. Buzz, Woody, Jesse, get to the top of the carousel to be our eye in the sky. Everyone else, you know what to do," I said as I got a ball of energy ready in my hand. Ty looked at me freaked out. I knew this was his first encounter against the Overtakers. "Tyler get ready to rumble."

"What you mean we are seriously fighting these guys!" he asked.

"Yeah, it's what we do. Did you think we just got together so we could badmouth them?" Finn said.

"Tyler you work for balance now. Forget what they did to you in your past we are saving Disney," I said.

"So the little princess finally found her cousin how charming now we can depose of them at the same time along with the DHIs," the queen said.

"So it looks like the boy who I taught to fight is now my opponent. By the way thank you for ridding Disneyland of that retched little boy, Peter Pan," Hook said as he surrounded us. We were now in a tight circle out numbered, and not in the greatest spot for a fight considering we we in the small courtyard behind the castle.

"So any bright ideas?" Finn asked.

"Bright, yes close your eyes on three I might be able to get half of these guys gone. Pass it on," I said as I told Tyler to give the command to Maybeck. I looked at the pirates getting rid of them would be easy. One big flash back to their ride and then we only had to deal with these three. I cleared my mind and envisioned the pirates back where they belong.

"One," I said.

"Stop counting girl," Hook said.

"Two."

"This should be amusing," Shere Khan said.

"Three," I said while I thought of the pirates where they were suppose to be and they were gone with a blinding light.

"So the princess wants to even up the odds then take this," the Queen said as she shot fire at the DHIs so she could take them out then me. I envisioned them all clear and deflected the flame back at her. Finn and his friends stared at me as I concentrated on keeping them all clear for a minute or two. She was on fire when I heard the tiger pounce on me. The others disperse as I dodged the tiger.

I got up as he started to circle me waiting for an opening. We were in front of the Bibbidi Bobbididi Boutique as he pounce on me and I rolled out of the way. He rebounded off the wall and onto me having a paw on each on my limbs. I couldn't move as I struggled underneath the humongous paws. His eyes blazed with a fire of hatred knowing that I was the prize to be taken down. He could see the reward for killing me and the ranks he would climb by my death. He smiled showing all of his teeth. When I remembered something. Fire, Shere Khan was afraid of fire. I thought of the fire surrounding me, engulfing me, but not burning me. He jumped off of me and I imagined him in a cage of flames that didn't burn but would keep the tiger who was scared of fire inside.

I got off the ground to observe the fight. I looked for the DHIs who seemed to need a little help so I thought of them flying. Soon they had the air advantage and were chaining Hook to the ground. I laughed as I looked for Tyler. Wait he was battling the Queen.

"Buzz where is Ty!"

"Snow White!" he yelled back to me. I ran to the ride to see Tyler cornered and a evil witch standing next to him.

"So you decided to go over to Kid after all we taught you. All the potions you learned all the dark magic?" she said.

"Was erased from his mind. I took your spell off of him. And to do that to a six year old that is low even for the Overtakers," I said.

"Ahh speak of the devil."

"Leave Ty alone."

"I was planning to," she said as lightning shot at me I deflected it and made it rebound on to her.

"You will never learn will you? Come on Ty let's get out of here," I said as he followed. We walked to the back of the castle to see the DHIs in one piece.

We ran to the front of the castle to see the DHIs had taken care of Hook by gaging and tying him up. It seemed in that moment that we had stopped the Overtakers here for tonight but that never happens. Our moment of peace was ruined by a cry from Woody.

"Guys the castle!" he shouted over the now roaring wind. We looked up to see a massive black form hanging onto the castle as a storm blew overhead. The looming form of Maleficent hung over the icon of Disney. I was prepared though I've taken her down once and I can do it again. I looked to Ty and the others as they all looked nervous or scared at the sight of the dragon.

"We've taken her down one we can do it again," I said almost smiling at the challenge that Maleficent was giving me. This was one of those rare moments of payback for what you've done to me.

"Kid, you were the only one here who has taken her down," Finn said.

"Well that explains why she seemed so mad after that one night," Ty said.

"Come on guys man up we are going to take this sucker down."

"You are having some serious payback moment aren't you?" Finn asked.

"Yep," I said as I put my sorcerer's hat on, pulled my sword out, and got my magic set for the fight.

"Any plan of attack?" Ty asked.

"Don't get near the mouth without some serious fire retardant suit."

"Thanks for that really reassuring."

The dragon clambered off the castle coming down to try to rid us of the world once and for all. She stopped to blow a billowing breath of flame around us keeping us all inclosed in her claws. I saw that the DHIs would be more of a problem then an aid here and I had a feeling that this was Tyler's moment to shine more then anything here.

"Finn get the toys and get out of here. Go back to Florida you've done enough for tonight we can take care of this," I said while keeping my focus on the dragon and nothing else. They soon disappeared leaving just Tyler and me.

"Are you seriously going to take her down!"

"Yes and you are going to help. Walt said you were going to have to remember that you have Disney magic and this is the time to prove it."

"You have got to be kidding me!"

"Now when attacking her don't kill her just severely injure her ok."

"What!" he screamed as I ran to attack the dragon.

I parted the fire with my hands going for the attack on her to hopefully get this over with. She looked at me and sent another wave of fire at me while I brought up a wave of water from the Story Book Canals to stop the flames from spreading. I thought of Mickey and remembered that this hat could do a lot of damage. I thought of the fireworks sparks and made them rain down on the dragon. It hurt her but it wasn't like the first time. She was stronger now I guess my spell didn't work as well as it was suppose to but they were only here for now they were not doing anything really evil they were just battling me. I hate loopholes.

I started firing balls of energy at her with no prevail she was stronger, more powerful, and winning this battle. I still fought on though. I was not about to give up, I would never give up ever. She was the one who had took my friends and she was going to pay. But of corse right as I brought out my sword hoping to finish her with that I ran towards her feet that held the powerful claws and I tried to stab the foot so she would be in enough pain to serenader but she flicked my bade away and caught me under her foot.

I was stuck and she started to laugh. I hate it when the villains start to laugh that is when they think they've won when they really haven't. But in this case a victory laugh was in order. Dang. Wait, Tyler. Tyler could help me this was his moment to prove that he was a Disney that he did fight for good, to save me.

"Tyler help!"

"How!" he said all nervous.

"Tyler hurry she is starting to claw me!" I screamed as the claws started to close in on my skin. All I could focus on was what was starting to happen. Had I finally lost? Made the big mistake. Was I going to take one awfully big adventure? No stop thinking like that Ty will help. Or at least he better.

I watched him as he stood there trying to figure out what to do. He didn't know how to use his powers. But I didn't know how to either until I got the crown. He knows how to fight Hook even said that.

"Ty get a sword!" The claws were cutting into my leg now.

"What sword!"

"Any sword!"

"Where?"

"The one in the stone pull it out!"

"But..."

"Just get the dang sword Tyler!" I screamed as the claws cut into my skin. I am not going to scream, not going to scream, not going to. Dang that hurts. I tried pushing the claw away with my powers but it wouldn't budge. Hurry Ty.

I turned my head to see him reach for the sword. He placed his hands on it and tried to pull it out but it wouldn't budge.

"Ty! You are a Disney the sword is yours as long as you use your Disney magic to get it. You are good just get the sword Ty. It is your sword!" I had no idea how I knew it was his sword I just felt that it was true. And when he placed his hands on the sword again it glowed a brilliant gold and came free of the stone. Except Excaliber remained and Ty had a sword for a Disney.

He held the sword in amazement before he realized that the reason he needed the sword was still in pain and literally inches from death, for the claw was very close to my neck now. He ran with the sword held high and slashed at her stomach. She glowed for a minute before the dragon was going and I was free. Bleeding, but free. He ran over to me and started to observe the damage on my legs. I imagined a holder for his blade so he could sling in across his back. We were both exhausted so we didn't even look at the blade I just thought of us back in our beds and asleep hoping that the things we acquired in this battle could be explained.

A.N.~ Yet again a thank you to all who helped me get through my writers block to write this chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it. Also if you have any ideas for further chapters please to share. Please review I really do read them and love them.
