The Young Keepers were all escorted into the park.
They stared out from above at the park.
Each park was a new discovery for them, for they had never seen the other parks.
"So where is the artifact?" asked Dylan.
"Right this way," said Baymax flying towards the castle.
"Again with it being in the castle?" asked Francesca.
"I guess it's the safest place for something this important to be hidden," said Wasabi.
"More like the most obvious to me," said Logan.
"Land us down there Baymax," said Hiro.
Baymax nodded and flew down towards the ground.
Fans cheered as they saw them land.
Yet there was still no sign of the Horned King.
"He's here," said Jason. "I just can feel it in my guts."
"The Horned King has always had that effect," said Honey Lemon. "He can fill you up with fear even if he's not in sight, but still near."
"Let's worry less about him and get to the artifact before he does," said Dylan.
"Right this way please," said Baymax.
He led everyone to the entrance to an attraction that read Cinderella's Fairy Tale Hall.
"This is it?" asked Melody. "The artifact is in there?"
"It's just too obvious!" yelled Logan.
"Right you are kid," said Hiro. "Which is why it serves as the perfect disguise."
"What?" all the Keepers asked.
Hiro went up to the entrance to the attraction and closed the door.
He then went up to the sign of the attraction and whispered a spell.
"Reveal what is hidden, and make the unseen seen," he said at the end.
Suddenly, the sign morphed and magically changed.
It now read Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour.
All the Keepers were shocked.
"I recognize that name!" said Francesca. "That was the attraction that used to be here before it was closed in 2006."
"It was never closed down," said Go Go. "It was just disguised better."
"The artifact is in the Horned King's chamber at the finale," said Hiro.
"The Horned King again?" asked Dylan. "What is the deal with him?"
"We don't know," said Baymax. "But according to the king, it has been discovered that for some reason, the Horned King has a direct connection with Disney itself, and not because it is a Disney movie."
"Another mystery you say," said Logan. "And possibly another fight."
"God I hope we don't have to fight those skeletons the Horned King brought to life in the movie," said Melody.
"Only one way for you to find out," said Hiro opening the doors. "We wish you luck children."
They all nodded and then thanked Big Hero 6 for their help.
Then they all walked slowly into the attraction, door closing behind them.
Outside Big Hero 6 sat quietly and stared at one another for a few moments.
"So what do we do now?" asked Fred.
"We wait," said Hiro. "And make sure that they succeed.
"Well that's good to hear," said a voice. "I needed some exercise before I splatter all those kids across this entire kingdom."
The gang felt fear fill them up, and they all turned to see the Horned King facing them.
Guests all around were frozen with fear too.
"Y…you!" stammered Honey Lemon.
The Horned King stared at the door and then at Big Hero 6.
"A wonderful trick that little mouse did," he said. "But it's a shame that now you had to reveal it to me."
He laughed menacingly.
All the girls felt like they were going to scream at his cackling.
"And now you get to lay down and die, and then the kids are next," said the Horned King.
"I…don't…THINK SO!" yelled Hiro immediately climbing on Baymax. "At least my friend here has no fear!"
"Yes indeed," said the Horned King. "But he has no metal skin either! Only a balloon!"
The demon then whipped out a spiked pin and threw it at the exposed part of Baymax's face.
It poked a hole right in Baymax and air was heard flushing out as he began to deflate.
"BAYMAX!" yelled Hiro as he climbed off.
All of Baymax's armor was falling off as he became deflated.
"Oh no," said Baymax as he then collapsed.
Hiro stared at the deflated robot, and then glared at the Horned King.
"You are so going to pay for that, you walking corpse!" he yelled.
He got up and put up his fists while the other prepared weapons.
The Horned King smiled and red energy formed in his hands.
"I shall enjoy every moment of this," he cackled.
Meanwhile inside, the Young Keepers navigated through the attraction.
They stared at all the structures and animation that supposedly was replaced 10 years ago.
"It's a shame people today can't see this," said Jason.
"It was always for the right reason," said Logan. "Disney needs to protect these ultimate powers."
"But what do you think the Horned King's connection to Disney is?" asked Francesca.
"Doesn't matter right now," said Dylan. "What matters is getting the artifact before King Walking Dead comes busting in."
Everyone continued to navigate through the tunnels.
The lights were on, but the attraction was down.
The passed by pictures of heroes that were meant to turn into pictures of villains, and also many magic mirrors meant to have the magic mirror himself appear on them and talk.
They all got the chills when they passed the Evil Queen's laboratory, Chernabog and Maleficent's scene, and even the huge sleeping dragon.
Everyone kept thinking they would encounter them, but reassured on another that it was impossible.
Chernabog was dead thanks to Finn, and Evil Queen, Maleficent, and the others in their group were dead thanks to Amelia.
And as everyone knew, everyone else was either dead or trapped with Hades eternally in Tartarus.
All except for Scar, Dr. Facilier, Pain, Panic, Horned King, and now Mr. Dark.
Now they knew they had to stop them.
Pretty soon, they made it to the final chamber, where at the stop of the steps stood a Horned King animatronic with the Black Cauldron itself boiling before him.
For a while, everyone stared waiting for something to happen.
"Ummm…hello?" asked Melody.
Suddenly, the Horned King animatronic came to life and roared out a mechanical roar.
Everyone was freaked out.
"So young heroes," the animatronic said. "You wish to seek out the ultimate power locked away in this crypt do you?"
"Um…yes?" asked Dylan.
"There are challenges that you shall face, but to get to them you must get through me!" yelled the animatronic.
"Ok then," said Jason. "How? Are we supposed to fight you?"
"No," said the animatronic. "You must solve this riddle to gain access."
Logan immediately burst out laughing.
"That's all!? A riddle!?" he laughed. "You're on!"
The animatronic growled a soft mechanic growl.
"Here it is," it said. "I can't be seen, I can't be touched. When you see me you can't have me forever. I can give you anything you want, but when I'm gone everything is normal again. What am I?"
Logan stopped smiling.
"What the fuck?" he asked.
"Solve the riddle or face a terrible punishment!" yelled the animatronic. "If you are truly the heroes the legend spoke of being led by the legendary Whitman, then you will get the answer right!"
Dylan's eyes popped open.
"Again with the Whitman!" he exclaimed. "What is it with that?"
"Do you have an answer!?" yelled the animatronic.
"Let us think!" yelled Dylan.
Everyone huddled together and talked silently.
"You have any idea?" asked Dylan.
"No clue," said Jason.
"What can't be seen or touched, but apparently can be seen and not kept forever?" asked Francesca.
"And also can give us everything, but then it vanishes?" asked Melody.
"Wait!" yelled Logan. "I got it!"
He turned to the animatronic.
"You are God!" he yelled. "The answer is God!"
Everyone smiled and were about to clap, when suddenly the animatronic howled instead of growled.
"Incorrect," it said.
Suddenly the lights went out in the entire room.
The only source of light came from the bubbling cauldron and the animatronic's red glowing eyes.
Then suddenly, around everyone came more red glowing eyes.
"Oh god," gasped Dylan. "The Cauldron Born!"
"They shall devour your souls if you do not answer correctly!" yelled the animatronic. "For if you cannot answer, then you are not whom the legends spoke of!"
"Wait please!" cried out Francesca. "Have mercy on a couple of kids!"
"Two more tries!" yelled the animatronic.
Everyone huddled again as the glowing eyes began closing in.
"Come on!" said Dylan. "What can't be seen, or can be seen but not kept, and vanishes after it gives us everything we can desire?"
"Maybe your thinking about it wrong?" asked Melody.
"Wait I've got it!" yelled Jason. "You're a wish!"
The animatronic roared this time.
"Wrong again," it said.
The red eyes were now above everyone.
"You idiot!" yelled Francesca. "To think you got your brains from Uncle Dell. Wishes are kept forever and give us everything we want!"
"Well doesn't that sound like the riddle!?" argued Jason.
They both began arguing while the others cared about the red eyes closing in.
"Oh god," said Dylan. "This may be the end."
"We need to solve this riddle!" yelled Logan.
"It's impossible!" cried Melody. "God I wish I was dreaming!"
"This is not a dream!" yelled Dylan. "Its reality and…"
Dylan froze in his tracks.
"A dream!?" he yelled in his mind. "Dreams can't be seen or touched. They are only seen when you fall asleep as practically stories, and disappear when you wake up! And they give us everything we could want but everything returns to normal when we wake up as well!"
He stood up tall and stared at the animatronic through the red eyes.
"You're a dream!" he yelled. "The answer is a dream!"
The animatronic froze and so did all the red eyes.
"You…are correct," said the animatronic. "You truly are the ones the legend spoke of."
Immediately all the red eyes began to back away and slowly disappeared into the shadows.
The lights in the attraction turned back on and everyone stared up at the animatronic.
"You may now pass into the crypts to retrieve the ultimate power," said the animatronic. "But you will face more challenges on your way there. Be safe and cautious, and remember Whitman boy, your destiny shall be unraveled soon."
Dylan nodded uneasily as then smoke poured out of the Black Cauldron and only light pour out of it.
The animatronic powered down and stood lifeless above it.
Everyone stared for a few seconds, and then walked up.
They all looked into the cauldron and saw a ladder in it leading down to a tunnel.
"Ladies first?" asked Dylan.
"Leaders first," said Francesca smiling.
Dylan sighed with a smile and then hopped into the cauldron and climbed down the ladder.
"Time to find the next artifact," he said.
This may be the second trial, but there are still more obstacles to get to the artifact. And don't forget the real Horned King is here. But what do you think is the next artifact, what is Dylan's destiny, and what is the Horned King's connection to Disney itself? (BTW I made up his connection) Find out next time!
See you next update! Review please dearies!
