The keepers woke up later that night in Far Far Away Plaza. They looked around. It felt weird to be back in this park after fours nights.
Finn stood up. He stared at the stand where the statue of Shrek was from the day the park opened until the night they first crossed over.
"Aren't they going to do something about that?" asked Jess.
"They probably are," said Maybeck. "But it might be taking some time because they are trying to make it out of gold."
"Well anyway," said Finn. "Since we know that Shrek is alive, and is no longer on the statue, then he is somewhere in this park."
"Why would he just run off instead of staying here?" asked Philby. "If he went into hiding, then I think were he was would've been perfect."
"We don't know if he's gone into hiding," said Henry. "I think he is either spying on Overtakers, or gathering an army of his own."
"The point is that tonight it is essential that we find him so he can tell us the location of the server that we must hack," said Finn.
"No one would know this park better than Shrek," said Amanda. "Because this is his park after all."
Finn nodded.
"Come on everyone," he said. "Let's search the Enchanted Forest again first. We will go clockwise like the first night. But be on the lookout. I suspect there to be Overtakers here."
Everyone nodded and ran off following Finn.
They ran through the Enchanted Forest. This time they didn't need a map. They knew their way around the park this time.
They repeatedly called for Shrek. They yelled his name, but no luck. He didn't come.
They made their way through Adventure Square after checking the Enchanted Forest.
They ran past the Power Station that they saw Overtakers taking magic from.
They stopped then for a second and looked at the place, walking towards it.
"So the Overtakers are saying that in this station, there is magic instead of electricity?" asked Willa.
"That's what they said," said Philby.
"Amazing," said Amanda. "Magic really does exist in this world."
Everyone stared at Amanda.
"Why are you so surprised?" asked Finn. "There was magic in Disney!"
Amanda's smiled faded.
"Oh right," she said. "But to have a park that completely runs on magic! Isn't that amazing?"
Suddenly, they began to hear voices coming from Imaginationland. It sounded like a bunch of people arguing or chatting loudly.
"Overtakers?" Jess asked in a nervous tone.
Finn nodded his head uneasily.
"Let's find out," he said.
They followed him into the park.
The keepers followed Finn to where the voices were coming from.
When they got louder, they began to travel behind attraction buildings.
When the voices were very loud, it meant they were right in front of them.
The keepers snuck between two buildings and stared into the plaza.
Cats. A bunch of cats wearing fedoras and shirts with the letter M on them were gathered around the Riders of Berk attractions, modeled off of the Dumbo ride.
The keepers stared at the cats took parts from on the ride, in it, and under it.
"Tell me again why we're gathering these parts now?" complained a cat.
"Cause the boss told us so," said another.
"But why now?" the other cat complained. "There isn't even a lighting storm predicted yet."
"And that's exactly why we need to do this!" yelled a voice. "So we can prepare ourselves for when it comes. So it can be ready for when it comes. It could be our only chance! So I suggest you stop whining, and keep dissembling!"
The keepers stared ahead and saw who just gave the commands. They mistook him for a rat at first, until they realized that his rat nose was a fake. He was really a cat, wearing a top hat and a long, red coat. He was holding a cigar and had a crooked smile. It was Warren T. Rat from An American Tail. He was one of the Overtakers they saw in Dreamtasmic.
"How does this Chester V know this will attract lighting?" asked a cat. "How do we know it won't blow up?"
"Are you really questioning the knowledge of Chester V!?" yelled Warren.
"Ah! No boss!" yelled the cat.
"Good! Then get back to work!" yelled Warren.
The cat sighed and continued to dissemble parts.
Warren blew his cigar and then walked away.
The keepers stared at the cats.
"What are they doing?" asked Maybeck.
"They said something about lighting," said Charlene. "Maybe it has to do with the trigger."
"Don't they realize that taking apart that ride will most likely make the people who ride it tomorrow come flying right off?" asked Jess.
"Honestly I don't think they care if they kill these guests," said Finn. "They probably want to."
"Well we need to stop them!" said Philby. "We can't let them get away."
He started to stand up when Henry stopped him.
"Are you crazy?" he asked. "You are about to run right into an ambush with the those gangsters!"
"Well what do you suggest we do then?" asked Philby.
"We drive them away," he said. "With the thing they are afraid of."
"Dogs," said Amanda.
"Exactly," said Henry.
"Now where are we going to find dogs?" asked Willa.
Henry smiled and pointed at Finn.
Finn looked at Henry.
"What? Me?" he said. "Are you calling me a dog!?"
"No I'm not!" said Henry. "I am saying that you can call about a character that is a dog. You can dream for help."
Finn's eyes popped open. He was right. He was the only one out of the keepers who could for some reason call for help from characters by dreaming for help.
"Okay then," said Finn. He closed his eyes and thought about dogs.
Suddenly, he heard barking. He opened his eyes and stared behind him. The keepers did too. There were two dogs standing in the shadows.
"Nice Finn!" said Amanda.
"Yeah…" Finn said in an uneasy tone. He didn't even say the word help yet and the dogs came.
Maybeck clapped his hands.
"Come here boys!" he said. "We need your help!"
Suddenly, the dogs began to growl. The keeper's smiles began to fade.
The dogs then walked into the light, and their smiles completely faded. They saw that the dogs were made out of clay.
"Clay!?" yelled Finn. "But then that means…"
They heard a chuckle and then Mrs. Tweedy stepped out from behind the building.
"Thought you could sneak in here and get in our way?" she said. "We think again sonny!"
The keepers stood up and then ran into the park.
"Get them!" yelled Mrs. Tweedy.
The dogs barked and chased them.
The cats heard barking and saw the keepers running towards them.
They stood prepared to fight, until they saw the dogs chasing them.
They ran away immediately at the sight of the dogs, collecting all the pieces that they could grab and run away with.
"You cowards! Get back here!" yelled Mrs. Tweedy. The cats didn't listen.
She saw the keepers getting chased in circles around the attraction by her dogs.
She smiled at first, knowing that her pets would get them. Then her smile faded as the keepers turned to fight the dogs, kicking them in their faces as they pounced at them.
The keepers turned towards Mrs. Tweedy when they finished off her dogs.
They began to walk towards her. She pulled out an axe from behind her.
"You don't scare us!" yelled Finn.
They smiled, until they saw red lights coming from shadows behind her.
"But maybe this does!" yelled Warren as he came out of the shadows. He was using a remote to control the giant mechanical-mouse from the movie.
"Let's see you handle this!" he yelled. He controlled it to drive towards the keepers.
Once again the keepers found themselves running in circles.
"You can run kiddies!" Warren yelled. "But you'll never run far enough!"
The keepers continued to run, now towards the forest. They ended up getting trapped by a tree.
They stared ahead as the mechanical mouse was coming at them.
"Ram them!" yelled Warren. "Squish them! Smash them! I'll show them what happens when you mess with the gangs of Dream Kingdom!"
Everyone closed their eyes tightly. All Finn could think about was why they came here tonight, and how they couldn't just fail the mission.
Just as the mechanical mouse was about to hit them, something grabbed it and lifted it off the ground.
"WHAT!?" yelled Warren.
He and Mrs. Tweedy looked up and shrieked. A huge dragon was flying in the sky and holding the mouse in its feet.
The keepers then realized that it was the dragon from Shrek. Donkey's wife.
Dragon roared and then let go of the mouse, letting it fall and smash into pieces everywhere.
"NO!" yelled Warren. "I worked so hard to figure out the controls to control it!"
"Well now you know what happens when you mess with the ruler of Dream Kingdom!" said a voice.
The keepers looked on Dragon's back as she landed on the ground. Shrek and Donkey were on her back.
"You called?" Shrek asked.
"I...I did?" Finn asked.
"You imagined in your mind that you had a mission to find me, and that you couldn't fail it," said Shrek.
"Which actually means that you dreamed Shrek and called for help, thus calling us to the rescue," said Donkey.
The keepers smiled.
Everyone then stared at Warren and Mrs. Tweedy.
"The next time you try to take anything from this park, you'll become dinner for my wife!" yelled Donkey.
Warren began to laugh.
"It doesn't matter," he said. "We already got enough of what we needed. We are slowly making process!"
"This is far from over!" yelled Mrs. Tweedy. "We will not rest until this wretched park is in ruins!"
They both ran off into the darkness of the park.
After the Overtakers left, Shrek hopped down and stood in front of the keepers.
"So you needed to find me for something," he said. "What do you need?"
Finn stepped up.
"You know every park here like the back of your hand right?" he asked.
"Correct," said Shrek.
"We need to know the location of the main server in this park," said Finn. "We need to gain control of it so we can decide where we want our DHIs to go, and also to gain access to the security cameras and footage."
Shrek thought for a moment.
"I know the place," he said. "It's in Hollywood Kingdom. It's in the big maintenance building where usually people go for directions or help. It's on the upper level. You'll need the special codes to hack into it."
He told Donkey something and then he ran off. A few minutes later he returned with papers.
"Here," said Shrek taking them from Donkey.
The keepers read them. They had a bunch of codes in letters and numbers.
"These will help you hack into the system and gain complete control," said Shrek.
"You will be in control of the whole park!" said Donkey. "Everything will be at your disposal! DHI control, security footage, and so much more!"
The keepers smiled.
"Thanks you two," said Finn. "Not only for this, but for saving our lives."
"Hey," said Shrek patting Finn on the back. "What could we do without you guys to stop the Overtakers?"
Finn smiled and pulled out the fob.
Shrek and Donkey watched as the keepers disappeared.
"Do you really think they can stop the Overtakers?" asked Donkey.
"We just have to have faith in them, and believe in them," said Shrek. "And if they do fail, that won't stop us from fighting. We'll fight until the end!"
"You said it man!" yelled Donkey.
The two then walked off into the park, laughing and joking around.
Sweet! The keepers fought against Warren T. Rat and met Shrek again! Now that they have the things they need to control the parks, they just need to get to the place and hack the system. But will they be stopped by Overtakers? Can they get anything done right without fucking it up?
I don't know. I'm just the author. I can chose when I want them to succeed or fuck up.
See you next update!
