Three Powers

Doris advances on Sarah until she is only an inch away. She had barely flinched when suddenly a loud roar echoed through the forest. "What is it now?!" Bowler Hat Guy turns as the dinosaur comes charging through. "Tiny, what is the-"

He turns only to be thrown out of the way by Tiny. "Whee!" The Hatter cries as her and the Hare twirl lassoes and ride Tiny through the forest. "This is just too much fun!"

Doris goes over to deal with the problem, but the Hatter snatches her. "Look, I got you a hat just like I have." He pushes a button that deactivates Doris and puts her on the Hatter's head.

"Why thank you. I will treasure this always. Look! It's Sarah!"

"Hey! Can you two untie me?" The two slide down and untie her. "Thank you so much! Now get my friends and I get Bowler Hat Guy." She rushes over to him as he tries to flee and literally tackles him to the floor.

Her friends rush over to help but she has him easily pinned to the ground. "Now what do you know?!"

"I have no-THAT DOESN'T BEND THAT WAY!!!"

"Talk!"

"I don't know who's in charge! I just received an invitation to join. But I do know he's after the three powers!"

"The… three powers?"

"Talk to your fuzzy companion if you don't believe me. You don't seem to realize he's known the plan the whole time."

"The two of us had an agreement, he got to come along and keep some of his dignity."

"Why?"

"I'm really not sure. It would have saved me a lot of trouble, but then I wouldn't have had nearly as much fun hearing you scream like a little girl. Now, tell me about the powers or I'll break the legs next."

"Well, according to legend…"

"Why does it always start with that? How many freaking legends are there in this Land?"

"It is said that there are three powers that will give you ultimate control over-"

Timon interrupts. "And notice that it's always ultimate power. Is some power not enough? Is everyone just that greedy?" Sarah nods in conclusion.

"If I may continue, the three powers-"

"And what is with the number three?" Reuben cuts in. "What is so magical about that number?" Everyone nods and puts in words of agreement.

"Do you want me to tell the legend or not?! God! You are such a rude audience!"

"We're sorry. Would you like me to break both of your legs?"

He pauses. "Let me continue. The three powers are as follows…"he pauses for a long while and they all look at him. "I was waiting for an interruption." Sarah kicks him. "Get a sense of humor! They are: The Power of Land, The Power of Innocence, and The Power of Creation."

"Do they have any of them yet?"

"We have them all."

"That is really not good."

"You think?!"

"We need to move! But first, where are we going?"

"The lair is through this portal. It's located in this old abandoned warehouse; yes I know 'Why is it always a warehouse?' I don't really give a darn."

"Then we've got somewhere to be. You two take care of him. It's his Unbirthday!"

The two jump up ecstatic and starts singing as the group takes off at a run.

"You're just going to leave him there?"

"They'll do a lot worse to him than anyone else ever can." Her phone suddenly goes off to the tune of 'Love Story'. She picks it up. "Hello? Alright, let me follow this lead and we'll be right there." She hangs up. "They've got the mirror fixed."

"So what do you think about the powers?"

"Well, that giant wand was obviously the Land one. They were taking the power and color out with it. I have no clue about the innocence. And I have a theory on the creation one."

"Do tell."

She shakes her head. "I'm not sure it's right."

"Come on. You can tell me. It usually never stops you."

"Just drop it!" He stares at her for a moment but is wise enough to be quiet. "Now, how do we get out of here?"

Our villain stands laughing to themselves. They look at a screen where a red dot is shown on a huge map. "You can run all you want, but you cannot hide. I know you're coming."

Hades shoves the girl down into a chair and straps her arms down. "I'm telling you, I don't know why I was stuck with the brat. She hasn't stopped whining since I snatched her out of the mirror a week ago."

"Let me go home!" Ursula stands at her cauldron, brewing a recipe and laughs.

"I don't know, I always thought you had a good record with kids. Look at Hercules." Hades flares up.

"Don't mention that! As I recall, Ariel was only sixteen when she got away from you."

"Shut up!" She finishes and a purple smoke emerges.

"Have we gotten the boss with this yet?"

"No. Our boss seems to think it's too risky to experiment this on him. There are a thousand kids through that mirror, but there's only one of him."

"Where did you even get the recipe?"

"It turns out 'Oswald' sent it to the Prison. Our boss managed to get past the Royal Chinese Guard to get it. But shall we get started. I need you to get the girl to open her mouth."

"Shouldn't be hard. The brat hasn't stopped screaming." Ursula starts to wave her hands and the smoke grows larger. Hades goes over to the girl who starts screaming.

"Let me go home! Let me go-"the smoke flies into her mouth and withdraws a blue liquid that Ursula puts in a vial. The girl slumps over in her chair.

"Throw her in the dungeon. We got what we want. I'd better get the ingredients for the boss." She places the vial in the slot under the first one and a slow glow appears. "We only have one more to go."
