Kaa glared. She was more stubborn than he realized. Kaa quickly shot a coil around her hip forming a belt around her, stopping her in her tracks. "I don't blame you" Kaa said. "I mean, why trussst a snake?" Ariel sighed. "It's nothing against your species, I just, don't trust you" Ariel undid the coil belt and began to head off again. Now Kaa was getting frustrated. Kaa decided to try a different method. He brought his tail over to her legs and tripped her, causing her to fall and land on her back. Leaves from a dying palm tree went flying as she hit the ground, blocking her view. "Hey! What was that for!?" Ariel yelled. When the leaves stopped falling she saw Kaa looking down at her, only his eyes were colorful spirals. "I'm ssssso ssssorry" Kaa hissed. Kaa finally got a look at her eyes. Ariel's mouth gaped. Her once blue eyes now turned into colorful spirals of blue, yellow, and green. And for that moment, she forgot all about Alex.
Chapter 25: A Snake, a Mermaid, and a Leopard
"So Shenzi, are you up for a little "Parrot Pita?" Bonsai asked. This caused the whole pack of hyenas to erupt into laughter. When they stopped laughing, they noticed Iago was getting away. "Say, did we order this meal to go?" Bonsai asked. "No. Why?" Shenzi asked. "CAUSE THERE IT GOES!!" Bonsai cried as he pointed to the fleeing Iago. The three Hyenas cashed after him. Iago panted as he flew for his life, but the hyenas were gaining on him. As Iago looked back he saw them suddenly stop dead in their tracks, making a sound a car would make if you braked to hard. Iago looked ahead, only to slam into something soft and furry. Iago looked up and saw what he had hit. It was large golden lion. It was Simba. "Boo" Simba smirked. The hyenas took off like a rocket in fear. Simba then looked down at Iago.
"Please! Don't eat me!! I don't even like Alex! I'm only with him to pay off some debts!!" Iago begged. "Wait, slow down, Alex is here?" Simba asked. "Y-yeah, along with that fuzzy blue thing and Ariel, Jack, and that Jim kid!" Iago replied. "Do you know where they are?" Simba asked. "If I did, I wouldn't be begging for my life right about now…." Iago replied sarcastically. "Well then, I better go find them…" Simba began to walk away when Iago clung to Simba's leg. "You think maybe I can go with you?" Iago asked. "I'm not planning to become a side dish!" Simba laughed. "Sure, come on"
The spirals of color continued to flood Ariel's eyes. A big goofy grin spread across her face. That signaled she had become fully entranced. Kaa laughed with glee as he began to wrap her up. His tail went around her in circles, but stopped at her shoulders when he heard something. "Oh no….that could be Sssssabor!" Kaa hissed. "Oh, I do hate to eat and run…" Kaa lifted Ariel off the ground and opened his wide jaws. Suddenly a shadow loomed over him. Kaa shut his mouth and turned around, only to see an angry red elephant and an angrier Disney Warrior on his back. Kaa gulped. "Sorry Kaa, this item ain't on the menu!" Tantar brought his trunk back and slapped Kaa hard. Knocking him out.
Alex jumped off Tantars back and ran over to Ariel. "ARIEL!" Alex cried as he shook her. Ariel's eyes continued to spiral in colors and the goofy grin stayed in place. "It's no use! She won't snap out of it!" Alex said to Tantar. "Well, we could always wait until it wares off…" Tantar suggested. "We don't have that kind of time" Alex replied. Alex groaned as he grabbed Ariel's wrist. "C'mon Ariel…" Alex pulled on Ariel's arm. Fortunately, her feet responded to the movement and she moved in the direction Alex lead her.
Alex looked back at the entranced Ariel. "It's creepy seeing her smile like that, and her eyes spinning like that." Alex shuttered. Suddenly a rustle came from the bushes. "What was that?" Alex asked. Alex tugged Ariel's arm again and she stopped moving. The three suddenly heard a low growl. "Simba?" Alex asked. Alex turned around but saw nothing. "I got a bad feeling about this…" Tantar shivered. Alex pulled out his sword and looked around. Suddenly, Alex got a chill up his spine. Alex looked up in the tree and almost screamed. What he saw was an angry yellow leopard. It roared and pounced at Alex. Alex dove out of the way. The leopard landed on its feet and turned to face Alex.
Ariel just stood there like a grinning statue, it was her only defense. Alex nervously held out the Disney Blade. "IT'S SABOR!!!" Tantar panicked. "THAT'S Sabor??" Alex asked. Sabor growled as he slowly approached them. Alex stood in front of Ariel. Since she was still under Kaa's spell. He needed to protect her. But not far off, the Hyenas grumbled to themselves. "Man that lousy Simba!" Bonsai complained. "He has the worst timing!" Shenzi was about to agree when she saw Alex, Ariel, Tantar, and Sabor. "Hold on a second…" Shenzi said. Bonsai looked at what she was staring at. "Hey wait! Ain't that, that kid who tied us up to that snake??" Bonsai asked. "It doesn't matter" Shenzi grinned. "Because once Sabor there is thru… we're gonna have us a full course meal!"
