Rescue Mission
A while later, Wrath, Samara, and company came to Dante's mansion. They were hiding in the woods at the side of the house as Masq, Sanura, and Ribbon tried to open the front and back doors, but they both were locked.
"The place is locked up tight," Sanura told them. "So is the backdoor."
"Maybe…" Ed muttered, scaring a few with his thinking. He snapped his fingers and said, "Maybe we could get a shovel and some chickens and…"
"Ed, just shut up now," Eddy deadpanned. Ed then got an idea. He clapped his hands together and placed then on the wall. He transmuted an elaborate door with his head as the handles.
"Good thinking, Brother," Al smiled as the group cheered. "Though the design of the door is a little weird."
"Ah, you have no taste in design," the alchemist muttered as he tried to enter the door. But, he was stopped by Dino.
"Hey, where are your manners, tiny?" he said rudely, almost making Edward rant if it wasn't for Winry and her wrench. He gestured to Narcissa to enter first. "Ladies first."
"Oh, how gentlemanly like! If you were only Ryan, I'd date you," Narcissa said, making everyone death-glare at her. She walked in with Dino behind her, totally oblivious to the Ryan comment, and said, "Coming, my little hamburger!"
"Oh, brother," Alice rolled her eyes as they quietly walked in with Artie closing the door.
A few minutes before Edward transmuted the door…
Minia and Grim Jr. were tied to a chair as Dante sat at her chair. The Homunculi were around them just to make sure they didn't try to escape.
"Just you wait!" Grim Jr. said angrily as Minia whimpered. "When our friends come for you, you'll be sorry!"
"Ooh, we're SO scared!" Envy said sarcastically as he grinned.
Dante's head lifted as she heard the sound of a transmutation, and then the quiet closing of a door.
"Go see what that noise was," she commanded. They rolled their eyes as Pride mumbled, "You could've said 'please.'" They walked out the door to find the noise.
The gang was walking through the mansion.
"Be as quiet as possible," Hal whispered to them.
Suddenly, a shrill scream startled them and got the attention of Homunculi. Everyone turned to see Narcissa, cradling a broken nail. "I-I broke a nail! DADDY!!!!" she yelled.
"You idiot!" Romulus snarled, hitting the back of his sister's head as Masq said, "No wonder Ryan likes me more."
Hal then knocked down a camera and said, "Hopefully no one heard that scream."
In the study, Dante was trying to reach the Reaper residence, which, of course, was empty.
"That's the fifth time I left a message!" she said in an annoyed tone. "Where are your parents!?"
"In Europe on a trip," Minia said formally.
"Well, what's their phone number there?" the woman asked.
"We don't know, our butlers know that number only," Junior replied.
"THEN WHERE ARE YOUR BUTLERS!!?" Dante yelled, at wit's end.
"WE DON'T KNOW!!" the two siblings replied in Dante's equal tone, making her groan.
As Dante kept groaning, the two kids spotted Wrath and Samara on the screen, happy that their friends were there to save them.
Two minutes later, the gang was overlooking the scene. "There they are," Morton said. "Let's get them!"
"One problem," Ginger said. "Dante will probably and will kill us if we barge in there."
Then, a light-bulb appeared over Midori's head. "Oh, I got an idea! Okay, Ryan, Ribbon, Kooky, Salina, Dino, Stitch Jr., and Cookie-boy-"
"My name is Hansel," he told her.
"Whatever. Anyways, here's what you're going to do…" The young assassin started to explain her plan.
About a few minutes later, Gluttony sniffed the air and started to drool. "Do you smell that?"
Pride looked at him. "I usually don't smell, but I do smell something."
"Let's go check it out," Sloth said as the five walked off.
Meanwhile, Hansel was wearing a pizza boy outfit and holding an empty pizza box with Ryan, Ribbon, Kooky, Dino, Salina, and Stitch Jr. were with him as he went up to Dante's study and knocked on the door.
"What in the name of Hohenheim?" Dante asked in annoyance, looking at the door. From outside the door, Hansel held the pizza box up so the evil alchemist could see it. Luckily, she didn't see his face because his hat was shadowing it.
Dante sigh in annoyance and walked towards the door. "I didn't order any pizza…" she said.
"Let's get goin'!" Hansel exclaimed to the Troglodytes as he tossed his pizza delivery boy outfit away, and he was clad in his trademark attire again.
"I couldn't have said it better myself," Salina said.
The cookie and the Troglodytes then hid into the shadows as Dante went out the door to find the 'pizza boy.' As she did so, Hal, Wrath, Sam, Hero, and everyone else except for Narcissa and TB snuck into the office.
In there, the Reaper kids sighed sadly. "Well, brother. This looks like the end," Minia said sadly.
"Yeah," Junior said sorrowfully. "I never even got kissed by a girl!" He started to wail.
"Aw, shut up, you drama king!" said a familiar voice playfully.
The kids looked around to see Wrath and Samara who hugged them. "Wrath! I thought I'd never see you again!" Minnie exclaimed happily.
"What do you mean a 'drama king!?'" Junior exclaimed hotly, but a peck on his head from Sam made him blush.
"I love happy reunions!" Maggie cried, wiping her eyes with a tissue.
Meanwhile, in another part of the mansion, Hansel and the Troglodytes were relaxing.
"Nice job, everyone. We lost her that wicked witch," Hansel said to them.
Just then, they heard a creepy laughing sound. "Uh, Kooky. Please tell me that the insane laughter is yours," Dino gulped.
"I wish it was, Dino," Kooky stammered. "For once, I wish it was."
Salina then tapped them on the shoulders and pointed at something with a shaking claw. "G-guys, don't look now, but I think that's the source of the laughter…"
The gang then turned immediately around. There, they saw five familiar Homunculi with the fat one laughing, drooling, and his eyes pupiless. Hansel got into a fighting stance white Ryan got his blasters, Dino got his fists out, Kooky and Salina pulled out wands, and Stitch Jr. and Ribbon got ready to fight.
"Who invited you losers!?" Ryan growled.
"What's the occasion, kiddies? Come to rescue those brats?" Lust asked coldly with Gluttony laughing, "I get to have them all!"
"Time for you and your friends to die, scum!" Pride said evilly, taking out his swords.
They were about to attack when a female voice called down to them. "Hey! Up here!" The Homunculi looked up to see TB holding some rotten tomatoes and Narcissa holding something
TB yelled, "Eat tomatoes, you ugly Palm-Tree!" before she threw the tomatoes, mostly at Envy, at the evil beings. Then, Narcissa tossed a huge net over them. "My bad!" she said innocently with a little giggle as the two girls jumped down from the rafter.
"Alright, TB!" Stitch Jr. cheered.
"Alright! What a woman!" Dino exclaimed. Narcissa grinned at Ryan who just snorted, sheathed his blasters, and mumbled, "Whatever. Masq is cooler," making Narcissa's background go all flamey and evil.
They all dashed into Dante's study. Once everyone was in, Hal used his Shadow Revenge Keyblade to lock the door.
"Sawa and Oburi, you keep an eye on that video screen," Snoopy ordered the two assassins, who nodded and started to watch the screen. "When this is over, I'm going to come with you," Oburi told his love.
"If we live through this," Sawa reminded him.
"We've been through worse."
Then, the Reaper's friends tried to cut the bonds that held their pals. Unfortunately, they had no luck. "Man, Dante must've been a knot-tier in a past life or something," Cupcake grunted as the rabbit vainly tried to eat the rope.
"What are we gonna do, freckles? They're tied too good for any of us," Ginger asked Hal.
"First, don't call me freckles," Hal deadpanned.
Meanwhile, Dante came up to the Homunculi, who were still trapped. "What are you idiots doing? Playing hooky off the job? Get up!" She released her cronies from the net and they went back to her study.
Back in Dante's study, Hero came over to the desk. "Sawa and Oburi? Is the cost clear? YOU GUYS" Hero scolded, seeing that the two teens were making out instead of watching the screen.
"You all can do that later," Halo groaned while Sparky pretended to barf. "Right now, pay attention."
Everyone looked at the screen to see Dante and her cronies coming at them at an alarming rate.
"NOT COOL!!" the caretakers, the Eds, the reptiles, and TB said in panic.
"What do we do, Hal?" Belle asked as Gir shouted, "Not cool! No piggies!"
Ariella looked up at a mechanical pulley. "What about that?" she asked, pointing at the pulley.
"You're so smart!" Ajax cooed over his wife as he hugged her. "That's why I married you!"
"Good thinking, mom! That'll- Now why would that hag have a mechanical pulley in a mansion?" Hal asked rhetorically. He then reconsidered asking that question. "Ya know what? Never mind! Dino! Hotwire!" the boy exclaimed to Dino.
The Troglodyte looked at the mechanical pulley, and he scowled. "No way, Dumbo! I'm not gonna go and get myself electrocuted! I've been cooked, fried, and-!" he said, beginning to walk away.
"Good luck, hunky," Narcissa said, trying to get Dino to do this to save their lives.
"Huh?" he asked.
"I'll be waiting," Narcissa said, batting her eyes.
Dino then smiled and nodded. "Hey… Hi-ho, Hi-ho. It's off to work I go… (whistle montage)…" he sang as he leapt onto a large pile of boxes and slowly climbed up to the mechanic part of the pulley.
Just then, Dante had come to the door of her study and began to try to open the door. She began to grow angry because the door was locked not only manually, but by magic as well. "What is this blasphemy? Come on, children… open the door," she said from outside as Dino got the plugs ready. "Come, now, you brats… I'm warning you," Dante hissed as she began to bang on the door. "You're going to be eaten by Gluttony and be Envy's punching bags if you don't open now!"
Hal, a bit worried, looked up to where Dino was. "C'mon, you punk wanna-be," he said impatiently.
"Patience is a virtue, Hal," Artie said dumbly. "I learned that from Ed."
"And I learned that from TV," Ed said stupidly.
"Ed, you need more fiber in your life," Eddy groaned.
Dino plugged in one of the wires, and the pulley was activated. It went to where Junior and Minnie were and grabbed onto the chair.
"COME ON!" Tas yelled as he, the gang, along with the caretakers, Wrath, Sam, Narcissa, and Romulus, clung to the chair as it quickly lifted into the air just as Dante and her cronies finally got in.
Growing annoyed, Dante transmuted a staff and threw it at an electric box and sent the chair crashing down onto a long ramp. The gang then slid down the ramp and yelled out like they were having a heck of a time.
"WOO-HOO!" Ed, Artie, MB, Gir, Cupcake, the Troglodytes, and the reptiles yelled.
The guys, except for names mentioned above, gasped when they landed at the end and there was fright in their eyes.
"Yeah! LET'S GO AGAIN! LET'S GO AGA-" Ed exclaimed happily until he looked up. That was when he screamed in fright.
The reason: Dante blocking their only exit. "This has been very entertaining, but I'm afraid this party is over," She said with an evil smile.
The gang then looked determined, and they got ready to battle. "Oh, yeah?! Well, if you think we're ending here, then you're wrong, Maleficent!" Wrath said with determination in his voice. Edward then mumbled, "Wonder why my father was ever with you." The heroes got into fighting positions.
"You idiots!" Dante snapped. "Do you know who I am?! I bring life back to the dead!!!"
"Heh, no wonder no one wants to die," Electra smirked, making Dante angrier.
The angry woman was about to attack with her Homunculi when suddenly…
A familiar van bustd through the window. The doors then opened, and the gang saw Pandora and Loki at the wheel.
"We got the truck like you said, Winter!" Pandora said dizzily as Loki honked the horn. GW pushed them out of her way as she took control of the wheel.
"COME ON, GUYS! Get in!!" she exclaimed. "With pleasure," Romulus said as they all got into the van.
"Alright, sis! Step on it!" Monkeyboy exclaimed, earning a nod from Glowworm, who stepped on the gas.
The van then zoomed out of the mansion as Maleficent shouted, "My house!! I'll get you!"
Meanwhile, as the Homunculi chased the van along the highway (they must have super-speed), TB, Edward Elric, Eddy, Dino, and his siblings couldn't help but make fun of the sinister beings as they looked out the back part of the van.
"Hey, Palm Tree! The skirt shop is over there!" TB shouted to Envy.
"Hey Lust! Are those real or plastic?!" Eddy shouted to Lust.
"Sloth, why don't you go into a refrigerator and freeze?!" Edward Elric shouted to Sloth.
The Pelekai kids then shouted to Pride and Gluttony, "So long, Patchy and Piggy!
"YEAH! WHAT NOW, NON-HUMANS!!?" Ryan yelled, then said to Wrath, "No offense."
"None taken, I think," he said with a sweat-drop.
The taunters then laughed at their own jokes. Unfortunately, their laughter died down when they saw a familiar car speeding towards them. Soon enough, the chase on the highway was on!
GW: I'm driving and not of legal age yet! Whoo-hoo!
Kooky: Oh, dear. Anyways, looks like we're in a tight situation. Hope you liked the chapter.
