This chapter was published on a fan's special day. Happy Birthday to Draco'sgirlxxx and make it a special one! Thanks for being an amazing fan and keep the magic alive in your heart. Enjoy!
" Dumbledore!" Tom shouted running up the stairs to Dumbledore's office. He banged on the door before almost knocking it down and opening it.
"I heard all about it." Dumbledore said halting Tom in front of his desk.
"How do we get back? HOW?!" Tom screamed. Behind him Fred and I along with the rest of the gang including the four alchemists walked in out of breath and panting (well except Alphonse but we all know why).
"I have a special portal for you to take." Dumbledore said looking over at the fireplace.
"Floo powder won't get us back and the Blot blocked every way back there is!" Oswald said hopping onto Dumbledore's desk.
"I used magic from this galaxy in order to get back there. As you can all tell by now but the Blot won't be able to stop you from getting back there since he doesn't have the magic I possess." Dumbledore said and his eyes twinkled.
"Alright gang we need helpers to get those portals opened so Fred, Aeris, Seamus and where is Percy and Draco?" Oswald said counting us off.
"What I can't go?" Ron asked.
"What you never believed in us anyway so no."
"Aw come on! I can really help! Promise." Ron whined.
"Fine fine you can come just someone go find the other two." Oswald said covering his ears.
"No need we heard you all on the staircase so we rushed up here." Percy said walking past Ed and Al with Draco right behind him. Draco took one look at me and looked away and at the ground.
"Can it take us back to East City?" Ed asked with his eyes looking bright.
"No. Boy you listen to me! That place is dead and gone so stop thinking you're going back there! Until we kill the Blot you're not going back. You'll hang with the other characters we found in Ostown." Oswald snapped crushing every last bit of hope from the four alchemists.
"Is that where Ike and Navi are?" I asked.
"Oh yeah I forgot about her. Yeah she's sticking around with that Link guy but he keeps running off to find Zelda." Tom replied.
"Hey guys can we go save the day now?" Lavender said crossing her arms. Oswald and Tom looked at each other.
"You know that's what you really need in your life. A determined lady like her." Oswald whispered to Tom.
"I'll bash your skull in if you say anything else about that subject." Tom hissed at him.
"Gentlemen! If you would please step forward into the fireplace, you'll be taken back to Wasteland or whatever is left of it." Dumbledore said and used his wand to light the fireplace.
"Better not be Lonesome Manor. That place gives me the creeps." Oswald said hopping off the desk and into the green flames.
"Won't we get burned?" Armstrong asked.
"Not at all. These fires are portal fires or magic fires. You won't even get hurt." Dumbledore explained before the four alchemists went through the fire and out of sight, followed by Hermione, Ron, Lavender and Seamus who was still suffering from a nasty head wound. Neville, Tom, Percy, Draco, Fred and I were the only ones left.
"I must warn you all. The Blot could be finishing up his plot any day and right now you all need to save those galaxies little by little. The least you could do is save the one place I'm sending you too. Please be careful and our world is in your hands." Dumbledore said. I looked at the fires and stepped closer to it. I took one deep breath and walked right into green light. ~
In the distant I could hear waves crashing against rocks. I opened my eyes to see ugly green skies above.
"Never again. Dumbledore is never using his magic to bring us back." Oswald snapped. I groaned and lifted myself up to see mostly everyone lying on their backs looking up at the sky.
"Why is it so ugly?" Ron asked.
"The sky? Oh it's because the Blot took all the paint from the sky and replaced it with thinner." Oswald said pacing up and down the beach.
"Where are we?" Hermione asked rubbing her head.
"Pirate's Cove. Just beyond those rocks are the pirates and Captain Hook himself. This must be the only place he could send us too. Come on let's go talk to Hook." Oswald said walking over to the rocky beach and was out of sight. I got up and wiped the sand off my clothes before helping a few people onto their feet.
"This place is so upsetting." Lavender said sneezing.
"It wasn't before. Before it was beautiful but then the Blot ruined it." Tom said cracking his back.
"Well let's just get this over with." Ron said pulling his wand out of his pocket and walked towards the rocky beach with the Alchemists right behind him. We walked around to where Oswald was yelling at a pirate with a red coat and a feather hat. Captain Hook.
"No I'm asking where the door to get back to the main square is!" Oswald snarled.
"Can't help you, highness. We got stuck here after that blob attacked my ship and sunk it." Hook said.
"Where is the portal to Tortooga?" Tom asked.
"That portal shattered. His army threw thinner on it." Another pirate said.
"So now what do we do?" Lavender wailed.
"Listen up everyone. I think at the top of those rocks is Peter Pan's cave. If anything we could ask Tink to create a portal to at least get us out of Pirate's Cove." Oswald said rubbing his chin.
"Great but what about your portal thing that the Blot blocked? We need to unblock it so we can get back to Hogwarts." Neville said.
"Oh yeah I forgot all about that. Hey pirate dudes where is there any paint around here?" Oswald asked.
"Those machine over there have a little paint left but be careful because thinner is everywhere." Hook said pointing over to a machine filled with paint. Oswald ran over to the machine and knocked on the glass holding the paint.
"Alright so wizard people I need this cracked open." Oswald said. Hermione shot a spell from her wand and made the glass shatter letting all the paint out.
"Now all of you absorb it in those stick things." Oswald said. All of us took out our wands and pointing them at the paint letting the paint absorb into the wands. When all the paint was absorb, Oswald started climbing the rocks.
"We have to climb?!" Lavender shouted.
"You want to go home?" Oswald shouted back. Lavender mumbled something before she started to climb. It wasn't a long climb until we reached the top and Oswald was complaining about something.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"He took them! Peter Pan and Tinkerbell are gone!" Oswald said kicking a stone.
"Great now what do we do?" Ron asked.
"Well… Didn't Pete say at the very top there was a portal to get to town?" Tom asked Oswald.
"Yeah but Hook said it was shattered." Oswald said.
"Are all the pieces there?" Ed asked.
"Probably. Why?" Oswald asked.
"Alchemy can repair it. I guess you need some of that blue stuff to get it working but I can fix the portal." Ed said.
"Great! Let's go then!" Oswald said before walking into the cave. "Lights please?!" At once Percy and Draco lit their wands and followed right behind Oswald. We walked farther into the cave before Fred tripped when we started walking up a hill.
"Dammit I think I twisted my ankle." Fred said getting up slowly.
"You're lucky we have doctors in town." Tom said as we helped him up the hill where the cave ended and we saw Oswald and Ed look at the broken projection screen.
"Where is that going to?" Tom asked.
"Ostown." Oswald said. Edward slammed his hand on the ground and at once the screen was fixed.
"What the hell?" Ron asked looking shocked.
"That's pretty cool." Percy said. Seamus stepped forward and used the paint he got to start up the projection screen.
"Ostown anyone?" Oswald asked before jumping into the screen. We followed him through the screen and were caught up in old Disney films before going through another screen and landing into a broken up town.
"Welcome to Ostown everyone. Beyond that street is the main square but let's not go there right now." Oswald said.
"No we need to go there now. We have two kids that need to get looked at." Tom said still holding up Fred. Seamus jumped through the projection screen last and fainted when he reached the ground. His head wound opened up and blood was starting to create a pool on the ground.
"Seamus!" Lavender said and Major Armstrong picked him up and rushed into the square, past the other characters. Navi saw us quickly and rushed over towards us.
"What are you all doing here?" Ike asked following behind Navi.
"The portals between Earth and here are blocked by the Blot. We opened up one of them but we need to get to Tomorrow Land to open the other important one." Tom explained.
"Link went over to Tomorrow Land. Zelda is over there I guess but he hasn't back for three days." Ike said.
"That means something is there." Tom said.
"What happened to Seamus?" Navi asked.
"He got into a fight and he went through a window." I said.
"Oh dear…" Navi said following Major Armstrong to the clinic. Tom helped Fred down the road into the square where they both fell at the door of the clinic.
"Oh dear! We have another one, doctor!" A cow in a nurse's suit said before pulling Fred inside.
"No! Sorry dear but you have to wait out here with the rest of the group." Another nurse said when I tried getting inside.
"Why can't I go inside?" I asked.
"The doctor can't have any distractions. That poor boy with the head wound needs surgery and we only have a limited amount of paint so he can't mess up." She explained. I walked away from the clinic towards the waiting group.
"We need guards posted at the entrance of the clinic." Oswald said.
"I'll wait!" Neville said. Neville stayed behind with Alphonse, Ron, and Lavender. Edward fixed the projection screen to Tomorrow Land while Hermione used her share of paint and we jumped through. We showed up in the square of Tomorrow Land where a broken tram was ahead and a bunch of the Blot's army guys were walking around.
"Alright just use magic and whatever you alchemist use to destroy them. Don't use that paint!" Oswald hissed before running towards a blot guy and pushing him off the edge of the square where the blot thing fell off to probably a pool of thinner. Hermione shot spell after spell of the blots and killed every single one of them. When all the blots were gone Oswald made Roy fix the tram before I set it back on the tram lines above us.
"Alright that takes us to Space Mountain and that's where the other major portal is. If we fix that then we can get you guys back to Hogwarts and it'll open the other portals to other galaxies." Oswald explained before hopping up the tram steps into the tram.
"Where are the other portals?" Roy asked once we reached inside the tram. I took a seat next to Hermione and Roy as the others filled up the back seats. Navi flew over to the front and looked at the engines.
"This needs gas." Navi exclaimed.
"Dammit!" Oswald slammed his hands on the dashboard. At once the thing erupted to life and the gas tank was magically filled with gas.
"Oswald you're a wizard." Ike snickered.
"Hey one more word out of you and I'll fling you in a pool of thinner." Oswald glared at him before putting the tram in drive and blasting off.
"Aren't these things supposed to work around the whole kingdom?" Tom asked holding on to his seat.
"Yeah but a lot of the tram lines broke after we were under attacked. Alright everyone over there is the castle I live in." Oswald said pointing at the horizon where a castle stood.
"The Blot lives there so Oswald stays in one of the hotels." Tom said.
"It's also where a lot of the statues are. I bet Peter Pan and Tink are." Oswald said looking over at the castle.
"Seamus's dad and Mickey too." I said.
"Those two. Alright we're arriving at Space Mountain. Keep wands out and flame boy keep your gloves on." Oswald said looking at us.
"Oswald you need a weapon too you know." Ike said when Oswald opened the tram doors. Oswald ripped the emergency brake off of the tram and waved it.
"Found one." Oswald snickered before hopping onto the platform.
"Is this supposed to be a ride?" Roy asked as he put his gloves on.
"Yep so get in a car and Draco use your share of paint this time." Oswald said. Oswald showed Draco the switch box and he poured his share of paint and turned on the ride.
"Everyone hold on!" Tom said getting into a car with Oswald and Roy. Draco sat next to Ed quickly and grabbed the safety handle before we entered into pure darkness. It wasn't long before we entered a room where the lights flashed on and off.
"WHOOOO!" Ed screamed throwing his hands into the air.
"HEY WE ARE NOT HERE TO RIDE THIS FOR FUN! KEEP YOUR EYE OUT FOR ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS!" Oswald screamed at him and threw something at Ed which clocked him in the head.
"HEY OLD BAT KEEP YOUR GARBAGE TO YOURSELF BEFORE I BLOW UP YOUR CAR!" Ed screamed back. The cars went up a slight hill before they shot down quickly into darkness except for the fake stars above. We twisted and turn and I actually started laughing cause really I was having the time of my life.
"YEAH BUDDY!" Tom shouted happily. When we entered another room with light the cars stopped slowly and Oswald hopped off and rushed towards a door.
"Alright everyone. Inside is the rocket room and also the portal. Don't die." Oswald said before opening the door and running inside stabbing blots with his weapon. Ike pulled out his sword and started cutting off the heads of blots while Draco and I flung spells at them.
"WATCH OUT!" Draco said jumping on me and flinging us to the side as a car fell down and crashed on the spot where we were standing.
"HELP!" Someone screamed from above.
"Come on, Draco that's probably Zelda." I said helping him up and we rushed up the staircase to find Zelda stuck in a glass room.
"HELP!" Zelda screamed banging on the glass. Her face was bloody and her dress was ripped as tears were streaming down her face.
"STAND BACK!" Draco screamed and shot a spell at the glass making it shatter into millions of pieces. Zelda dropped to the ground and started bawling her eyes out.
"Zelda it's okay! You're safe now!" I said rushing over to her.
"Oh my god…" Draco said looking at her arms which were covered in deep cuts all the way up to her sleeves.
"It's all my fault. It's all my fault." Zelda cried grabbing onto my coat and crying tears of blood.
"Zelda…" I whispered. Above us Oswald looked down and saw us.
"Hey they found her!" Oswald screamed and the others looked down.
"We found Link too!" Navi screamed before fluttering down to us and looking at Zelda.
"It's all my fault…" Zelda kept saying.
"Zelda it's not your fault at all." Navi said. "Hey we need help!"
Armstrong was there before we knew it and picked up Zelda like a baby and she kept crying.
"We must hurry. Oswald said something is here and it's not happy that we're here." Armstrong said before walking up a hidden staircase to the top of the rocket pad. At the top Ed was fixing the broken portal.
"It's missing a piece!" Ed shouted.
"Crap… Alright look for a missing piece of the portal! Hurry!" Oswald said before getting on his knees and started searching.
"Looking for this?" A guy who looked just like Pete asked holding the missing piece of the portal in his hand.
"Animatronic Pete." Tom glared at him.
"Well well well if it isn't the king of this broken kingdom." Pete said kicking over Oswald.
"Hey leave him alone!" I said before tripping over someone. I looked at what tripped me before I heard Zelda scream and burst into more tears. The bottom of my pants were soaked in blood when I saw I tripped over Link and his chest was cut open and bleeding. It wasn't until I got up and looked over him that his heart was missing.
