DreamWorkers
Chapter 14: Selena's Reason
Later, a newsreporter announced the news about what happened today.
"This just in where chaos spread around New York City", said the male newsreporter, "The destruction of buildings. The three people from out of nowhere with a strange looking dragon. Everything was in chaos, but all of that changed when a group of people and a bunch of creatures with modern technology and clothing. With them are not only the penguins, but the Zoo animals who joined the Circus group three years prior to what happened when Chantel Du Bois attempted to kill Alex the Lion. And now we're coming to you live on the ceremony for those strange people. Lots of people have been raising several questions. Just who are these humans and creatures? Where did they come from? And who is that mysterious person who restored this beloved city back to life? The questions will be answered as the mayor will present the medals to the group.
"Citizens of New York City", said the Mayor, "In any moment, I will present these medals to the group of people and creatures that have saved this beautiful city."
Meanwhile, the DreamWorkers are getting ready to present themselves to the people of New York City when suddenly, a glow of scientific fairy dust was formed and out of it came Selena, the Queen of Science and Fantasy, the woman they met before.
"Selena", said Hiccup.
"How did you get here?", asked Shrek.
"It is a bit hard to explain, but I do know this", said Selena, "All of you deserve to know who sent me here to find you all in the first place."
"Then, please, tell us, senorita", said Puss, "We would like to know who sent you to find us."
"The person who sent me to find you all...", said Selena, "Is the same person who is known to be a prince who lived with the Pharoah and the Queen of Egypt. He then discovers that he is one of the hebrew people whose mother sacrificed her life to save him. Later, he discovered a bush that revealed God to him. After God presented his vision of his people, he gave him a staff that contained powers."
Hiccup gasped in shock and spoke.
"Are you saying that the person who carries a staff with God's powers...?", asked Hiccup.
"Does that mean...?", asked Po.
"Yes, my friends", said Moses, "The person who sent her to Shrek's world to find all of you... is me."
"Moses?!", shouted most of the DreamWorks members.
"A messenger sent a fairy?", asked Skipper in confusion.
"He's not the only one who's seen her", said Classified, "After the penguins helped us defeat Dave the octopuss, we came across her at the North Wind Elite Headquarters at the iceberg. She then told us it was Moses who sent her to find a group that has courage, but also have good hearts. She pointed out that we were chosen for anything.
"Why didn't you tell us sooner?", asked Private.
"Because we were worried that something bad would've happened to you", said Eva.
"We wouldn't want that dragon to hurt these cuddly penguins", said Corporal and hugged the four penguins tightly.
"OK", said Private trying to gasp for air, "You can let go of us now."
"Sorry", said Corporal and lets go of the penguins.
"Please continue", said Private.
"That was when Selena found me", said Theo (Turbo), "I was busy racing against other enemies including different snails until sometime later, the North Wind found me at the Grand Prix in Germany. They told me to come with them and to let me use the power of speed to help others whenever I can."
"Then, she came and found the two of us sailing on a ship back to Spain without any gold", said Miguel, "It wasn't until she met us and told us to join the North Wing, Moses, and Turbo because of their good deeds."
"Because she told us that our hearts were good and they mattered too", said Tulio, "So, we joined them. That was it."
"Easy for you to say", said Sinbad, "I was about to go on an adventure with Maria when I came across her. She told me that my good heart is the reason why I should join them."
Spirit neighs loudly and Moses explained what he meant.
"He said that after he brought a female horse named Rain to his home", said Moses, "He came across her. She planned to use some magic to make him talk, but it turns out not all horses can talk."
"Well, that sucks", said Snotlout, "I would've liked to hear him speak our language.
"That was all we saw from Selena", said Turbo, "If we hadn't met her before you guys, we never would've made a team to begin with."
"We hope you would understand", said Classified.
"Then... that it explains everything", said Hiccup, "Meeting the old and new heroes, forming a team to work together, and saving the world together."
"We understand why you did what you had to do", said Jack Frost.
"Selena, we want to say thank you for giving us that assignment", said Po, "If it wasn't for you, we never would had another chance to defeat the Tesseract Dragon."
"Everyone", said Selena, "I will be leaving in a moment. Now is the time to celebrate your victory today. Thank you all, DreamWorkers. Thank you for completing this task. Thank you for preventing all that is vile and cruel. Thank you for believing in yourselves. Goodbye."
Selena waved goodbye as did the DreamWorkers before she disappeared in a form of fairy dust.
"That fairy is so beautiful", said Puss.
"Come on, guys", said Alex, "The Mayor's waiting for us."
"Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the strange newcomers", said the Mayor and the DreamWorkers stepped out of the curtains.
As they looked at the cheering crowd of New Yorkers clapping their hands in applause for their victory.
"Now, fellas", said the Mayor, "Can you please introduce yourselves to all of the people here?"
"Well, Mayor, it might take a bit longer to present our names", said Classified.
"Can we go first?", asked Shrek and Fiona, Donkey, and Puss stood next to each other.
"Certainly, fairy tale people", said the Mayor.
"People of New York, we are the fairy tale group", said Shrek, "I'm Shrek."
"I'm Fiona, his wife", said Fiona.
"I am Puss in Boots", said Puss, "Fear me if you dare. Just kidding."
"And I'm Donkey!", shouted Donkey, "A butt-kicking talking donkey!"
"It's an honor to meet you all today", said Fiona, "If it wasn't for our friends, we never would've saved this city."
After the four walked past the others, the North Wind Elite introduced themselves next.
"My good people, it's great to be here in the right time such as this", said Classified, "We are the North Wind. No one, I repeat, no one *breaks* the wind. I am Classified, leader of the group and these are my comrades."
"Short Fuse, demolitions expert of the North Wind", said Short Fuse.
"Eva, intelligence analyst of the North Wind", said Eva.
"Corporal, the muscle of the group and a lover for cuddly animals", said Corporal and the people of New York shouted their aws.
"He's so cute, mommy", said a little girl.
"He sure is, sweetie", said the little girl's mother.
"Of course you know a lot about the Zoo animals and these penguins here", said Classified, "Even if they can't communicate with you folks, they still have some passion for you all. Please, congratulate them for helping us."
Then, the people of New York applauded wildly at the animals. Then, the Crood family, Turbo, Spirit, the four monsters, and Sinbad went next.
"Croods, name formation!", exclaimed Grug.
"Eep", said Eep.
"Thunk", said Thunk.
"Gran", said Gran and Sandy roars.
"She's Sandy", said Ugga, "I'm Ugga."
"Grug", said Grug.
"And I'm Guy", said Guy, "A cave person and a modern inventor."
"Meeting you was a bit easier than we thought", said Grug, "Oh, and uh... this is Belt."
Belt and Sandy stood next to each other and said, "DA DA DAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"The name's Theo, but you can call me Turbo if you like", said Theo (Turbo).
Spirit neighs loudly.
"He means his name is Spirit, a horse that can never be broken", said Guy.
"I'm Susan", said Susan Murphy, "AKA Ginormica, ordinary person and alien fighter."
"Dr. Cockroach at your service", said Dr. Cockroach.
"Name's Link", said Link, "How you doin'? Que pasa, folks."
"And I'm B.O.B.", said B.O.B., "I don't have a brain. Turns out you don't need one. Totally overrated. And that's why-"
B.O.B. pretends to choke.
"Forgot how to breath", said B.O.B.
"Just suck in, B.O.B.", said Dr. Cockroach and B.O.B. breaths all of his air back in.
"Thanks. Dr. C", said B.O.B., "You're a lifesaver as usual."
"I'm Sinbad", said Sinbad, "Adventurer and women-lover. Make the girls swoon and get the perfect one for myself. That's my motto."
"Not again", groaned Miguel in disgust.
Then, Miguel & Tulio went next.
"I am Miguel", said Miguel.
"And I am Tulio", said Tulio.
And together, they call us Miguel & Tulio", said Miguel.
"Mighty", said Tulio.
"And powerful warriors", said Miguel & Tulio.
"Thank you all", said Tulio, "If it wasn't for them, we never would have found friendship more important than gold."
"We also learned that friends make our lives an adventure", said Miguel, "And we're grateful to meet the others. Thank you."
Then, the Guardians of Childhood introduced themselves next.
"My good people", said Santa Claus, "We will do whatever it takes to keep this planet alive. As long as all of you believe in us, we will do anything. I am Santa Claus. This is the Sandman."
Sandman lifted his hat and bowed respectfully to the New Yorkers.
"I'm the tooth fairy, but call me Tooth if you like", said Tooth Fairy, "My fairies and I will deliver some victory money to all of you good people. That's all I have to say."
"I'm the easter bunny, but just call me Bunny", said Bunny, "Don't worry. We'll deliver all of the victory easter eggs before you know it."
"And my name is Jack Frost", said Jack Frost, "Some people call me a trouble maker, but in here, I learned that being a guardian is about doing what's right. However, it was my sacrifice that made me a guardian. You see, I had a sister once a few centuries ago. We were too busy ice-skating having so much fun. Then, she got stuck on the ice that was about to crack. So, I used my stick to rescue her and pulled her to the other side, but I fell in. *sigh* If only my sister were here to see this. And my family too. They'd... they'd be so proud of what I did. Anyway, I'm glad I got to join not only the Guardians, but the others as well. Thank you all for coming."
The New Yorkers applauded a bit louder and stopped. Next, it was the Vikings' turn and the Kung Fu Masters' turn to introduce themselves. First, it started with Hiccup.
"People of New York, it's an honor being here after we saved this city", said Hiccup, "I am Hiccup. These are my friends. Astrid, Snotlout, Fishlegs, Tuffnut, and Ruffnut.
"Hi", said Astrid.
"How you doin'?", asked Snotlout.
"Nice to meet you all", said Fishlegs.
"What's up?", asked Tuffnut.
"I... I got nothing", said Ruffnut, "Except... hey folks. Nice to meet you all?"
"No need to get nervous, Ruffnut", said Hiccup.
"Alright", said Ruffnut, "It's great to see you all. That's all I have to say."
"We're the Vikings of Berk and with our dragons, anything is possible", said Hiccup, "That's all I have to say. Thank you."
The Vikings gave Po and the other Kung Fu Masters some more room to introduce themselves.
"Hey, everyone", said Po, "We're the Kung Fu Masters. Oh, boy. This is so awesome! I can't breath!"
"Po!", exclaimed Tigress.
"Sorry", said Po, "Anyway, it's great to see you all here. At first, we were the ones who saved our world. But then it turns out, there are others who saved their world as well. Including these guys. Even Hiccup. If it wasn't for him and the others, I wouldn't be here to celebrate this awesome victory. I'm Po, the Dragon Warrior. And... that's it."
"It's good to see you all as well", said Tigress, "We're the Furious Five of China. I'm Tigress."
"Monkey", said Monkey.
"Crane", said Crane.
"Viper", said Viper.
"Mantis", said Mantis.
"I am Master Shifu", said Shifu, "I'm their teacher at the Jade Palace. I want to say to all of you that if you achieve Inner Peace inside you, anything is possible. Thank you."
"We are the three", said Tai Lung.
"The three baddies", said Zhong, "Uh... wait. That's not right."
"What he means is... the three sinister villains who managed to find goodness within ourselves", said Lord Shen.
"You see, we were evil much like the other three", said Tai Lung, "But what made us different than those is that while Charming had little to no sympathy, we..."
"We were blinded by our hatred", said Lord Shen, "We never regretted what we have done at first. It wasn't until our brave friend here met us. That panda is the one who touched our hearts with his wisdom and compassion."
"If it wasn't for him, we never would've let our pasts get the best of us", said Zhong and the three walked towards Po.
"Po", said Tai Lung, "I prided myself with my greed, but you have taught me much. That is why I will forever be in your debt."
Tai Lung bowed respectfully to Po.
"I just want to say thank you", said Zhong, "Remind me to let you block my hammer next time we fight each other. Just for training purposes."
"I'll do that", said Po, "Thank you too, Zhong."
Zhong bowed respectfully.
"Po", said Lord Shen, "Ever since I was banished for a long time, there was something we had."
"Like what?", asked Po.
"A connection or the fact that we're different", said Lord Shen, "I can see you have a loving and caring goose father. I used to have loving parents, but I thought they hadn't expressed their feelings towards me. Even after I became blinded by power, greed, and hatred, all I ever wanted was to make them proud of me. But I was wrong. If only Soothsayer were here to see this... You are a wise, compassionate, and a good friend to me, Po and I will stay by your side when evil lurks."
"Thanks, Shen", said Po and Lord Shen bowed respectfully.
After Po said nothing, Moses went next.
"My good people", said Moses, "As a messenger of God, I will say this. If all hope is lost and you feel like you have no choice but to surrender, there's one thing that can restore that hope. There can be miracles when you believe in yourself. Only then will you stand against the darkness together."
The people of New York City applauded a bit louder this time. Then, the Mayor walked towards them and spoke.
"What do you creatures and people call yourselves?", asked the Mayor.
"It's quite simple, sir", said Classified, "We're a group of warriors that bring people faith, hope, and belief. A group of warriors that stand in their own way. We, Mr. Mayor... are the DreamWorkers.
"Then, I present you with the medal of New York City", said the Mayor, "Thank you all, DreamWorkers and keep fighting to make us believe!"
Everyone applauded even more wildly than they ever imagined. Before they can leave, however, Zhong asked the Mayor something.
"Mr. Mayor, do you know where Charming, Eris, and Chantel Du Bois are?", asked Zhong, "You know. The big three who tried to destroy all of our worlds?"
"I believe we handled them just fine", said the Mayor, "Thanks to you all."
"You can't do this to me!", shouted Chantel Du Bois as she is being taken away by the New York Police, "This isn't over, Alex! I'll be back! I will always come back!"
"No!", shouted Eris as she is being taken away by not only the police too, but the scientists as well, "I am Eris, Goddess of Chaos! When I get out of here, I will conquer your beloved city by myself!"
"Wait a minute", said Shrek, "I think I know a place where we can put them in jail. Our world."
Then, from out of nowhere, Dragon appeared and landed near Donkey.
"Dragon!", shouted Donkey, "I knew you'd be here! Where are the kids?"
Then, the baby dragons in the form of a dragon and donkey flew towards him. Everyone laughs heartily and Donkey spoke.
"I still gotta get a job", said Donkey, "Now, you wanna help us get these two women to jail?"
"Wait, where's Charming?", asked Shrek.
"Right here", said Charming in a monotonous tone, "Just get it over with."
Later, the DreamWorkers put Charming, Eris, and Chantel Du Bois in separate prison cells in the Far Far Away prison, leaving them without any magic.
"You think yourselves lucky?", asked Charming darkly, "Darkness is coming! Every evil people will rise against you and destroy everything."
"Don't worry, Charming", said Shrek, "We'll be ready for them. You'll see. Let's go, guys."
Then, as the DreamWorkers leave the prison cell at Far Far Away, which is now restored back to normal and all of the people have continued their routine.
"So, now that we're done with the these three and that dragon, what should we do next?", asked Turbo.
"Let's see if we can continue where we left off at the hotel", said Shrek.
"Alright!", shouted Donkey, "Let's make some waffles!"
The DreamWorkers laughed heartily and walked a few meters towards the hotel.
I'll finish the story in about six chapters. The next three chapters will be the last while the last three will have teasers for upcoming stores coming soon. Enjoy!
