Chapter 15

Philby paid close attention to the camera that pointed to the Tower of Terror. Watching as David ran inside of the waiting area as he was following Sally. He could tell that something wasn't right about all of this. Where was Amanda and Charlene? Why weren't they there yet?

He turned to the other cameras, seeing Charlene not standing at the Chinese Tower anymore. But he did find her heading towards the other side of the park towards the Star Wars Tours ride.

"I'm not seeing Amanda." He worriedly said.

"What?" Willa turned to him with a worried look.

"I'm not seeing her on these cameras either." Nikki also was studying the screens. Still trying to use the lights on the streets to signal. Waiting to see if anyone would show up. Till she did finally saw something on one of the screens. She spotted Amanda fighting with a few green figures around her. It was the green toy soldiers from Toy Story.

"I found her! With the OTs!" She pointed out before Philby ran over to where she was.

"Look, there's Charlene!" Philby also pointed. Charlene's hologram was seen heading for where Amanda was.

"I just hope Finn, Maybeck, and Jess are out of harm's way." Willa said worriedly.

"I'll send a signal to David to tell him to turn around. He can't have him falling for a trap." Nikki said as she right away hit the switches to the lights near the Tower of Terror. Hoping he would be able to see them.

…..

David reached the end of the waiting section and found himself in the courtyard. He was about to step inside to follow Sally till he spotted a figure heading for him. Till he stopped to notice the lights near the attraction was going off. It was signal that there was trouble. But before he could move, he spotted a figure standing not too far from him. It was teenage girl. Amanda. He signed with relief when she finally reached up to him.

"Amanda?" He called out to her as he stepped closer to her. He was just about to reach her till something in the back of his mind told him to stop. He then studied the girl in front of him and found a few things wrong. One, Amanda wore a black shirt and jeans when they last saw each other. This time, she was wearing a purple t-shirt and blue jeans. Two, Amanda's eyes were not the usual normal green eyes he was familiar with. They were eerily green.

He narrowed his eyes and took a step back. His hand was already filled with electrical bolts that were ready for him to strike at who this imposter was. A smirk appeared on the fake Amanda's face before she was engulfed by purple smoke and she was turned into the Evil Queen.

"Such a clever boy. You figured it out." The Evil Queen walked towards the teenage boy. Sally stepped to the side of her.

"We knew you would be coming this way. It was a matter of time." Sally giggled.

It was a trap, David thought. The OTKs tricked him into stepping out. His concern was for the other Keepers. Where was Amanda? Did they have her? Either way, he wasn't doing down like this. If he had to, he would fight his way out and find the other Keepers.

"So, you have me. What do you plan to do?" David asked them, trying to act brave in front of them.

The evil queen lifted her hands up towards the boy. Muttering a few words silently. Suddenly, David's arms were pulled downwards and were pitted to his sides. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull them off of him. And he couldn't even form his lightning bolts.

"There, that should hold you." The Evil Queen approached him where they were a few inches away from him. She turned to Sally and gestured with her head to go over to where David was. Sally walked over and dug her hands into all of his pockets. He could see the disappointment in her face as she turned to the Evil Queen.

"He doesn't have it on him." Sally said before walking away to stand next to the Evil Queen again.

"So, where is it, boy? Where have you and your little friends hidden the Microchip." The Queen narrowed her eyes at him as she made a movement with her hand. David let out a grunt as he felt himself being squeezed. It was like a hug, only more painful.

"We….don't…have it!" He let out loudly, trying to wiggle as much as he could to get free. But each time he did that, the more the Evil Queen squeezed him.

"Don't lie to me, boy." The queen stepped forward till their faces almost touched. "We know you all have it. If you don't speak now, then I will make you speak."

…..

Finn gave a glance around the room. Expecting for something to jump in upon him. Since it happened too often for his comfort. He then turned around to the door, seeing that Maybeck and Jess stepping inside. He grew concerned by the looks on their face.

"Whitman. It's a trap. This whole situation." Maybeck softly spoke, though it sounded like his normal shouting.

"It's true, Finn." Jess handed him the notepad with the sketch on it. He studied the picture. His heart dropped of what he saw. It was the microchip that Nikki and David found. And then there was the hand coming from the computer. He wondered if this was part of the Overtakers plan. Using the computers to get to them.

None of them were able to let out a work before the three of them turned their heads towards the computer on the desk when it suddenly turned on. All it showed was a normal glowing blue screen.

"Please tell me you turned that on, Whitman." Maybeck said as his eyes were glued to the screen.

"I-I didn't turn it on." Finn responded, inching towards the screen.

"Finn wait!" Jess called out. Finn did stop. The screen now turned from blue to an eerily green. Then a familiar face appeared on it. Maleficent.

"Silly children. You really should be more cautious into coming here." She give them a dark grin.

Finn glared and stormed over to the computer. "What are you planning to do, Maleficent?!" He shouted to her. He had enough of this witch. At this point, he was ready to tear into the screen and rip her out to deal with her.

"As I say before, Finn. You all shouldn't have meddled with our plans. Now, you will pay severely for it." Her eyes narrowed as she said this. "This time, none of you will be getting out of this place alive."

"What do you mean by that?" Maybeck stepped forward next to Finn, his fists tighten.

"If we can't capture you all together, then we'll have to get you all one…by….one." Upon those words, the screen suddenly turned off. Leaving a black, useless screen.

"NO!" Finn grabbed the monitor and shook it, but nothing happened.

"Whitman, we need to get out of here and find the others." Maybeck pulled him back from the screen.

"Guys!' Jess cried out and pointed towards the doorway. Blocking their only way out was an army of the Stormtroopers from Star Wars. Their guns pointing directly at the trio.

…..

The pain that David was feeling throughout his entire body was unbearable. So much so that it was harder for him to breathe as she was squeezing him with her magic. If he wasn't trapped like this, he would have already zapped her.

"Are we ready to speak now, David?" The Evil Queen spoke his name. Making his eyes widen. Then realized that the Overtakers now had access to all of their names. Including his and Nikki's names.

"I already told you! I don't know!" He shouted his reply that he give out for the fourth time. Deciding to play the dumb card to protect the location of the microchip. Even if this witch was about to squeeze him to death. This made the Evil Queen more angry.

"I'm tired of your games, little boy. I could bend and break you like a twig if I wanted to." Again when she waved her hand, the more she squeezed him. Causing more pain when the force pressed onto the skin and was hitting the bones. Sally just stood here, enjoying his suffering.

"You should break him, my queen." Sally excitedly suggested.

"NO YOU DON"T!" A young woman's voice shouted before a blast of wind knocked over the Evil Queen and Sally down onto the ground. It release the force grip on David. He fell over to catch his breath. He turned his head, seeing the real Amanda and Charlene running over to him.

"Are you alright, David?" Charlene asked as she helped him up onto his feet.

"Yeah, I'm fine. But where were you two?" He asked him, staring at the two. Relieved to see both of them instead of the OTKs.

"We were almost caught by the Green Toy Soldiers." Amanda started to explain.

"But we managed to hold them off and managed to escape to come looking for you." Charlene added on. Then they all turned to face the Evil Queen as she rose up from the ground. She didn't look too happy to see them.

"You foolish children!" The Evil Queen angry shouted. Giving dagger stares to each of the Keepers standing in front of her. She lifted her hand to cast another spell on them. But all three of them moved out of the way before the deadly spell would hit them.

David lifted his hands up in the air, sending a lightning bolt towards the Evil Queen. Hitting her in the chest and knocked her down onto the ground.

Out of panic, Sally began to run away. But was pulled by Amanda's powers and was thrown onto the wall on the side of the building. Then she fell onto the ground lying face down.

"We have to find the others. We'll head for the control booth to find Philby, Nikki, and Willa and then find the rest of our team." David can before all three of them ran out of the area. Hoping they weren't too late.
