2nd Annual Disney/Toho Kaiju Music Video Awards
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Hi everyone! How are you all doing? It's great to be back at writing again after some time has passed since my latest update. I hope you all are doing good and are well.
Before I do or say anything else, I want to give praise and glory to the Lord. Jesus, thank you very much for everything that you have done for me! The blessing of being with a great family that is so close to you, has raised me to you! For friends who have been honest with me here, whose constructive criticism and critique have really helped me with my stories & to continue onward! Thank you God for teaching me and showing me you Ways, Will, and Word are what I need for all the rest of my days! Thank you Jesus Christ for the gift of imagination that you planted in me even before I was born, and I wish to put it to good use in your name!
I really want to thank you all for sticking with me and my unique Disney/Toho series and specials that I have written so far. And I have a couple of awesome announcements I wish to make here!
But first, to thank those who reviewed in my previous chapter! Ahem…
To cornholio4: Thank you for your short, but honest and good review! Heh, Pooh has his moments… even if he doesn't realize it. And indeed, The Touch is a signature song that will NEVER go out of style! I prefer the classic and true songs over most of what is out now anyway.
To DRAGONDAVE45: Thank you again for the awesome review, and also for showing me on what goes on with the characters you brought over! And I hope you & they are surprised on what occurs here. You are a really good friend here to me on this site, and also the characters from Firebreather and Monster High also rock big time! Thank you for suggesting that I bring them over to my Disney/Toho events!
To SaurusRock625: Thank you for the review and that you liked my chapter so. It makes my day when I can make someone joyful like that! And I thank you for the words as well. But always remember this; I have a lot of help in my writings thanks in part to Jesus Christ. So most of the praise should go to Him, since it was He who has helped me out in the very beginning in getting back to writing after a massive slump. I also pray and hope that your stories get as much attention from others.
To Dreams Come True 996: Ah, one of my favorite friends here on this site! Thank you so much for not just your review, but the words from the others as well! I am glad that the characters of Danny Phantom love their time at the Disney/Toho event so far! It's awesome and stimulating in many ways to hear their own words on the chapter, and that they are having an excellent time! And also that your OC characters are also enjoying it as well! I promise to do my best & also to make sure each chapter brings a smile to your face as well!
To Kearitona Sjachraelgil: Ah, my lady love! Thank you once again for your honest and fiery review! It always makes my day to see and read them, and I am glad you are having a good time in my special! I hope that you are ready for more!
To Darkness Rissing: Thank you once again for your awesome review as well! Long, detailed and also very worthwhile to read! You really do come up with some unique scenarios, and I hope that to see more from you in the future! And I hope that this chapter pleases you as well!
And finally to laze jovanov: Thank you as always to your words! I really appreciate it, and also appreciate the questions you ask me while you answer my own. And your info concerning anything Godzilla is also very much welcome and appreciated! Thank you!
As you can see, I am missing a few other Authors who have not seem to be reviewing as much as I had hoped. I am a bit sad at this, but I will not let it get me down. God, please look after those that have not reviewed. Look after them, guard them and bring blessings to all of them. Both to the ones who did review, and the ones who have yet to do so.
Now for the two big announcements I promised! Ahem…
The first one is this. I have recently been helping a friend of mine on this site, Author AdventureKing2017. He and I have been working a new story called Women's Wrestling Submission-Total Knock Out Association, a Total Drama story that features Cody Anderson starting a new wrestling division in order to honor a deceased relatives wishes. And how he does that? Well… you just need to go and take a look at it! He and I have been working out details and such on it for some time, and I hope you all like what you read.
The second announcement is this. Another good friend of mine Author DRAGONDAVE45 has just put forth a sequel to my Monsters and Magic series! It is called Monsters and Magic: Prologue to Legacy, and it seems to have much potential and promise. I only hope that he abides by the rules I laid forth in one of my epilogues in my mini-novel Monsters and Magic Special: Sofia's Imagination.
I am very glad that all of you have liked my Disney/Toho works. I am still trying to see if I can get the attention of Disney and Toho in a positive way, to show them that my novels and specials are what they need. Not want perhaps, but need. Subtle and small, yet powerful difference there. I really want my novels to be done in the classic Disney hand-drawn animation, mixed in with the tried & true ways of Toho on how they made the legendary kaiju. I also look for anything that shows anyone fulfilling my previous requests, but still no luck. Dreams Come True 996 has made some drawings of my series, in which I am very thankful for. If you want to see her works, PM her and she will show you the way.
And on a final note, I had a real problem trying to find three suitable final videos for this chapter. In the end, just had to pick out what I could and hope for the best. So… this is it! I hope you all like what you read here.

Now, on with the music video awards event!)
It was 10:30 p.m., the moon casting a more brilliant glow on Downtown Toon Town below. The snow clouds had parted an hour ago, the brilliant white-silver celestial object now bathing the animated world in a lustrous glow that illuminated all underneath it. The stars were also out in their full glory, twinkling brightly no matter the shape or size. Like diamonds, they shone with a brilliance against the velvet-black night sky.
Most of the shops and stores in town were now closing for the night, many lights being turned off in various buildings & establishments. The few citizens that were out now were the ones going home, the roads almost empty but now drivable due to the snow plows that had done their duty in clearing the roads. However, advisory warnings told those on the road or were about to go on it to be extra careful and cautious. To not do anything reckless and to make sure they had the proper tires to make the driving a little safer for them.
The moon and stars brought forth their light to the land, casting a glow to all within the city & also to the countryside that was outside the town's limit. Casting a silver glow to all that made the area seem more mysterious… one would say mystical in a positive way.
Those who had their lights still on were establishments that had a 24-hour schedule, employees now running their place of business even though there was little to no activity for the time being. Fortunately for the bored workers, they were killing the time now by seeing the music video awards event that was happening at the famous House of Mouse dinner theater club! Either by widescreen TV that was posted for both patron and employees to see, or by their own personal screens such as computers, laptops, cell phones, etc.
Speaking of said club, the building itself was still light up brilliantly. The warmth the various lights that projected from the outside of the building matched what was inside the complex.
The many special guests of the House of Mouse were doing various things with one another as they waited for another segment of the awards event to start. However, the crowd was a bit smaller in number but it was for a good reason. Since it was getting late, those with children or not being able to stay up so late wanted to go home. However, this clashed with certain members in their circle who wanted to stay at the club until the very end of the event.
Fortunately, Author LORD DESTYRUK had come up with solution that would please both parties. He and his Destroian OC creations had built a 2nd floor that was separate from the rest of the House of Mouse. It was meant for the little ones and other guests that were a bit sensitive & could not bear to see certain Toho movies that appeared on Disney/Toho Movie Nights. This particular place was designed to accommodate children of every size, type, kind, etc. and also for patrons who had delicate issues with certain movies/programs. It would play children-friendly shows and series, of either Disney or of the Toho variety. And also that the patrons be served by hard-light holographic constructs. It was temporary though, as Mickey wanted to hire real flesh-and-blood staff to help with the second floor. The constructs would still be used, but more like assistants when the time came.
The best part of it was that the 2nd floor could be changed quickly according to the specifications by certain individuals. Either by verbal or mental command of either Mickey Mouse, landlord Pete & his wife Peg, LORD DESTYRUK & his wife Lady Miki Destroian.
As of this moment, said floor was now turned into a sleeping quarter's area. Beds now replaced tables and chairs, the large screen that normally would be used to showcase movies was now playing soft Disney-themed lullabies that would send those who heard it into dreamland. Some places had cribs instead of beds, the area around looking like a nursery. The beds or cribs were now being occupied by small children, little ones or guests that could not stay up late in the night.
Walking amongst the sleepers was Lady Miki herself, the beautiful wife of LORD DESTYRUK gazing down & smiling at the sleeping children and little ones as they were adrift in the realm of dreams. She looked up to see various female holographic constructs assisting her in looking after the occupants. The hard-light holograms consisted of beings like Lillian Disney, wife of Walt Disney himself & back in her prime when she was married to him. Others took on the form of anthro fox beauty Maid Marian, the mother of Dumbo but on a smaller scale, the classic version of nanny Mary Poppins, Queen Athena the first wife of King Triton, Snow White from Happily Ever After, Queen Elinor from Disney-Pixar's Brave and more. While the real ones were downstairs at the awards event, their holographic doubles were doing this.
Lady Miki and the constructs were quite motherly and good to the little ones as they slept, tucking them in and making sure they were well. Free from nightmares or anything of the like, their duty to make sure they slept well. They would not fear for any noise coming from down below to disturb them. LORD DESTRYUK was quite specific for this room. While it was completely soundproof against noise coming down from below the 1st and Ground floor, those from down below could hear noise coming from said area. The place was specially and specifically made for security purposes.
Mickey asked the Destroian Empire lord to come up with pager-like devices in the future, so that way guests could come up to the 2nd floor in case they wanted to take their precious treasures back home with them… or in case of serious emergencies where the parents would HAVE to be notified quickly if something happened to their children/children.
There was also another security measure added in to the 2nd floor. If by any chance ANYONE came to the room with hostile/killer intent… they would be met with a very protective Lady Miki and holograms that would make the intruder really wish they had not come up to the area to begin with. Forget protective mother bears, lions or tigers… they would be met with a wrath of a protective mother giant monsters! Even DJ took the protecting of little ones seriously, so even he asked LORD DESTRYUK to have more security for the 2nd floor so that the children and those unable to fight at all would be safe.
Meanwhile downstairs on the 1st and Ground floor, the patrons were dancing once again to another awesome song from Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem Muppet band! The group had changed their outfits on the fly yet again, donning some appropriate Spanish clothing as they were now playing the Christmas song Feliz Navidad. The dance floor was alive once again with patrons who took a chance to go out there to show their stuff to everyone. Danny was dancing with Star, the duo showing that they had some good moves. Both had taken some lessons from Paulina some time ago, but each in a different way.
Danny had been invited to attend a quinceañera by Paulina that was for one of her cousins & he was going to be her date for the event. But he didn't know a thing on how to dance to certain Spanish songs/music. So the Hispanic beauty took it upon herself to teach him some moves for some of the songs that would be playing at her cousin's passage from girl to womanhood. Danny showed he was a quick learner and had gotten some basic Spanish moves and steps down. He also told Paulina that it was due to a great teacher that he was able to do well, making her blush at the compliment.
Star had asked not just Paulina, but the entire Sanchez family for dancing lessons when her Hispanic friend had invited her to Spain with them so they could see some relatives that still lived in Old Europe some time ago. Paulina's mother, grandmother and said teenager herself had taught the blonde beauty all that they knew. She had gotten the basic moves down, and also some advancing ones from Paulina's mother Zarita who was impressed by this. In fact, she once told Star that she had potential when it came to dancing and suggested that she take lessons from professionals to really progress.
This made Miss Satellite feel hopeful and pleased, believing that she was truly more than just a pretty face.
Now it seems that Danny & Star were putting their lessons to the test here as they moved to the beat of the music & lyrics. The young Fenton lad said to his dancing partner, "Wow Star! You really got some good moves on you! I believe you would be a good professional dancer!".
The young blonde beauty blushed in a way that made her look more cute & alluring to the halfa, answering back, "Thanks Danny! You know, you're a good dancer yourself! Especially after seeing you dance with the others tonight! I think if the hero business slowed down, you would be a good dance instructor or something!". This caused the young man to blush as well from the compliment. While his dream was to ascend upward to the stars as a NASA astronaut, he did see the pros at having a back-up plan just in case he couldn't make his first dream come true.
Tucker and his date Laurette were also showing some moves on the dance floor, DJ doing the same with his lovely date Claudette. The two young men were making their dates laugh as they danced, doing some slightly exaggerated motions while they moved to the music. The Bimbettes actually enjoyed their men doing what they could to make them laugh. Laurette brought Mr. Foley close to deliver a kiss to his lips, her own way of saying 'thank you' for making her laugh and putting a smile on her face. This made the young African-American almost melt right there to once again being shown affection by a beautiful young woman.
Claudette also gave her date a kiss, plus a hug that had DJ be enveloped in her warm body that had him blushing yet smiling big time. In his view, this was a reward that was so much greater than gold or money of any kind!
Sulley from Monsters Inc. was also showing his moves with Abby Bominable from Monster High, the big furry blue CEO of the company that made kids laugh now instead of screaming in fright also making the young Yeti beauty laugh but in a very good way. Sulley was good at scaring yes, but dancing… not so much. But he did his best & Abby approved of it. However, she showed that she was a decent dancer herself that almost made up for Sulley's lack of flair.
While many took to the dance floor, others were doing their own things on the sidelines.
Valerie was at the HoM Souvenir Shop, looking for something to take back home with her. The African-American buxom beauty looked through the various items that Clara Cluck was selling, wanting to find a very special Monsters and Magic piece that would really fit well in her home & also to show off to others back in the Nickelodeon realm. Earlier, DJ had told her to tell Clara that he had sent her, which was a kind of code telling the opera-singing anthro hen that Valerie was to get half-off on one item in the store. Only one item, so that was why she was looking over the merchandise carefully.
As she looked around, she saw Author Darkness Rissing and his date Spring Sprite looking over the sugary confections that Clara was also selling. The shop also sold various snacks and treats such as cookies, doughnuts, gum, pan dulces, fruit snacks and more. In the case of the cookies, each one was handmade and decorated with Disney/Toho characters on it. Each one made with love, care, dedication and style that made them be more delicious than normal store/bakery-bought ones. Though they were in limited supply, the price was reasonable for them.
Miss Grey soon found the item she was looking for. It was a large poster of Empress Athena, Hikari Godzilla and Mega Marshmallow from Monsters and Magic: Burning Finale! Said object was wrapped in clear, plastic protective covering so it would not get damaged in any way. All three were in battle poses, under a sky that seemed to look like Heaven was opening up for them as the picture showed the clouds parting with a soft blue light coming down from it.
She saw the price… and it was $75 dollars in total! Thankfully, the half-price deal cut the number down to $37.50 not including tax. She picked up the poster and went over to Clara to purchase it, telling the vocal-talented hen that DJ sent her so thus she could get the object at half-price. Clara nodded, ringing up the total price that came to $39 even when tax was included, putting said poster in a large bag that was blue with white Monsters and Magic insignia dotted all over it and giving the young lady her purchase.
At the Hall of Possibilities, Dani Fenton was with Peter Pan as the duo were playing a unique video game called Let's Go Jungle!: Lost on the Island of Spice. Before they played the game, the halfa beauty had to explain some mechanics and concepts of the machine to the Eternal Lost Boy. Thankfully for her, he was quite the quick study. The video game was about two characters, a young man named Ben & a young girl named Norah that were together but the relationship was being strained at the moment. Now, they were on a tour on Amoi Island in the Pacific Ocean that was now overrun with all kinds of mutated animals and plants that were now trying to kill them.
The arcade game used light gun mounts as it was a shooting game. Peter played as Ben, Dani as Norah as they used their weapons to shoot at various large critters & large falling objects like rocks. And also to press their buttons or move their gun mounts in a certain way that would allow them to pass through certain trials and tests. If they did it right, they would receive ranks that went from the lowest (Miss) to the highest (S). The higher the rank, the larger the point score. In addition, the game also featured this unique feature. When shooting at enemies or objects, if they hit it together it would be called a Joint Attack that raised their score points greatly.
And also add to a compatibility match that was included in the game.
The duo got off to a bit of a rocky start at the beginning of the game, but thankfully they learned what to do quickly and thus started to really dominate the arcade game. Peter was having the time of his life playing a video game, especially one that called for both quick-precise timing at certain events & for blowing up stuff with a gun even though it was fake. Dani was enjoying her time too, glad to find someone that was enthusiastic about arcade games like she was.
When the time came for the duo to defeat the final boss, which was a massive mutated butterfly, Peter and Dani timed the sequence just right… and their characters defeated the immense insect! The mutated beast was sent plunging into the sea, and their characters seemed to reconcile right there.
As the credits played and ended, they saw that the game also had a Compatibility Rating System. It meant that the game determined how good the players worked together, and in this case how it also made the characters come together in a romantic sense.
The rating for Dani and Peter showed they gained 95 percent full in the Jungle Safari level, 95 percent in the River Cruise, 100 percent on the Elephant Ride & finally 100 percent on the Island Hopping level! The heart down below their characters, who were now embracing, filled up until it nearly reached the top! Their compatibility was… 97 percent! Words in red formed on Ben & Norah showing Lovers Forever with words in white written underneath it that said You can't meet anyone better! showed for all to read.
Peter and Dani looked to one another, blushing immensely as some onlookers snickered/chuckled at seeing the cute sight. Many were now making quick assumptions that perhaps the duo were to be together in the future, Baloo the ace pilot from TaleSpin teasing them like asking when the wedding would take place. This got the result of said bear now being chased by a flaming red-faced halfa and Lost Boy. Author Dreams Come True 996, who was among the patrons watching the two play, giggled and did the task of putting their initials in. Apparently, the halfa girl and the King of Neverland didn't see that they had made it into the top ten score list. So she put Dani's initials in Norah's slot, Peter in Ben's.
The only ones NOT amused at all like this were Jane, the mermaids from Mermaid Lagoon, Tiger Lily… and especially Tinkerbell. In fact, said mentioned ladies were wondering if it would be too much to ask of any of the Authors to send Dani into the game itself and see how long she lasted against the island's mutations.
Nearby, another couple were playing an arcade shooter game that was the sequel to the one that Dani and Peter played. It was Clawdeen and Duncan, the duo playing Let's Go Island!: Lost on the Island of Tropics! The werewolf beauty had challenged the half-kaiju being to a video game challenge, him accepting the challenge with Clawdeen picking out the arcade game. The mechanics of said entertainment piece was the same as the one Dani and Peter played, but with a different story twist. The characters was a goof New Zealand island guide by the name of Zack & a nerdy Canadian girl named Beth, the duo being forced to work together to escape pirates and mutations that had taken control of the island resort.
The duo had shown considered skill in their shooting abilities, and also got in a lot of Joint Attack shots together. They managed to get through Tropical Waves level, Luxury Resort and Into the Blue level plus finishing the final boss which turned out to be a reef transformed into a huge monster thanks in part from toxic waste dumped into it by the same company that mutated the island beings in the Let's Go Jungle!: Lost on the Island of Spice game! Once it was all done and the credits rolled, with a cameo appearance by Ben and Norah, Clawdeen and Duncan saw on how good they did.
The first level had their heart filling all the way up to 100 percent! The second level and third level hearts rose up to 98 percent! The ending showed their characters riding on dolphins in a marine park with the total compatibility being 99 percent! The words in gold appeared above the character's head that said Lovers Forever with the in white down below saying Your true soul mate!. Now that got the young adults to blush as they looked at each other, Duncan saying, "Well… I… ahem… that is… you did pretty good, Clawdeen. You really got a good eye there when it comes to shooting games like this.".
The student of Monster High chuckled and answered, "T-Thank you. A werewolf's eyesight and reflexes are sharper than that of a human, but you did pretty well yourself.". The screen showed that they had easily scored in the top ten rankings… with Clawdeen's character getting more points than Duncan's! This had the howling beauty cheer and do a little victory dance, Duncan a bit disappointed that he lost… but the sting of defeat vanished quickly as he saw Clawdeen move her body & also with a very beautiful smile on her face. In his view, it seemed that he was a real winner to see such a sight.
After she was done with her little victory dance, Clawdeen stated, "And now, the loser shall buy me a Godzilla Smoothie from the bar. That is IF said defeated one has the cash…". She said the last part with a smirk and a wink to Duncan, said son of Belloc grinning and taking out his wallet. He had the cash, and thankfully for him said drink was not too expensive. The fashionista beauty clung to his arm as they walked out of the Hall of Possibilities, Monique Williams who was nearby smirking wide at seeing her newfound friend having so much fun.
Among the patrons that were watching the two rock the arcade game, the one who was NOT amused by the cute scene before them was Jenna. The blonde beauty had her arms folded across her chest, her jealously rising as she the interaction of her date with what she had dubbed the Intruder. And when she saw the duo leaving the place arm in arm… she gripped a railing on one of the DDR dancing-games and crushed it completely!
Apparently like Samantha from the Danny Phantom realm, jealously often gave someone a great feat of strength.
While much was going on in the Hall of Possibilities, action of a different kind was taking place next door in the Hall of Memories.
Edd was showing the lovely little lady Nazz around inside a section of the immense hall, displaying his knowledge of certain Disney, non-Disney and Toho movies. It was a secret, even to his own friends, but Double D had extensive knowledge & insight when it came to certain films that he enjoyed. Unlike certain other characters from other realms that loved to show-off their insight in an annoying way, he kept it to himself and also made sure not to sound too pushy or prideful in said knowledge. And it seemed that Nazz was now seeing this whole new side of her cul-de-sac friend that actually intrigued her.
Edd finished, "And that is why Nazz that Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster came to be! It was supposed be a King Kong film under a different title, but they changed the concept entirely by replacing him with Godzilla and changing the story entirely.". He was gesturing to a hard-light projection that showed the info of the movie Double D was explaining to the beautiful blonde lass.
Nazz was impressed and replied, "Wow! That is so totally cool! I never thought that a Godzilla movie replaced a King Kong movie like that! But after seeing the original title Operation Robinson Crusoe: King Kong vs. Ebriah… yeah, I'm actually glad they gave the entire thing a major overhaul.".
The smartest young man from Peach Creek smiled and stated, "Indeed. But remember the saying- One man's junk is another man's treasure? Well, someone took an unused concept and worked on it, turning the junk into something worthwhile to see.".
The cheerleader of Peach Creek Jr. High school giggled and snuggled up to Double D, causing the young man to blush immensely with a nervous smile on his face. He was still shy when it came to women, but he was gradually getting over it. She stated, "You're really smart, Double D! And also cool to hang out with! I know that you hang out with Ed and Eddy a lot since they are your best friends, almost like brothers to you. But I bet you would go a long way on your own.".
What she said was not entirely false. Double D had amazing potential and promise, in both his character and his abilities. While his friends Ed and Eddy sort of balanced him out with their wild & random antics… there were some times in his life where Edd himself wondered how far he could go on his own. And now having the support and friendship of Nazz, the most beautiful and optimistic girl in his world… perhaps she could help him get a glimpse of his full potential in a way that his friends could not.
As they continued to be with one another in the hall, they were being monitored by some rather annoyed/jealous faces. It was the Kanker Sisters and Kevin! Lee and May were following the lead of their sister Marie as the young woman was VERY much livid at seeing her crush being all close to Nazz. Kevin had followed the couple as well, wanting to see if he could charm Nazz away from Double D… or just to pound the sock-wearing boy genius for getting to close to 'his' girlfriend.
Marie was like a bull that was very much ticked off, her mouth curled in a sneer showing all her teeth while she was emitting steam from her nose thanks to her heavy panting. And Kevin looked so furious that he was ready to explode! Marie looked to her sisters and exclaimed, "Come on girls! It's time to show that Nazz what happens when you mess with a man that belongs to a Kanker!". The siblings nodded their heads, while Kevin was all for separating the couple but also to protect Nazz from the deranged Marie.
They were about to reveal themselves… when a voice called out to them from above, "Halt! Cease and desist, young ones!".
The four looked around to find out where the voice came from, May looking up and telling her sisters and popular neighborhood boy to look up. Kevin and the others did so, and they were surprised to see on what was now flying above them. It was Jeremy the Crow, and atop of his back was Justin the Rat! Both were featured in the animated film The Secret of NIMH! Justin was wielding his sword & around his neck was the potent amulet that held The Stone, the widow Mrs. Brisby had given it to him shortly after she used it to save her children and home from sinking.
Said young mouse was back in the main area of the club, drinking tea and having some delightful conversations with some female friends she made in the club so far.
Justin declared once again while riding atop Jeremy, "Halt! That's far enough you lot. Now come on, simmer down before one of us does something they might regret.". The four pre-teens looked to the bird and rat… than started to laugh loudly as they found the whole thing absurd. That they were being told to stand down by a rather large & intelligent rat with a sword riding atop a goofy-looking crow.
Thankfully, the noise was not high enough to disturb Edd and Nazz.
The redheaded girl known as Lee went over and tried to pluck the bird out from the sky. Normally she would have succeeded since she had quick reflexes. However, Jeremy was quicker as he flew up to avoid the grab from the human. Lee sneered and said, "Buzz off you two! We're aiming to teach that blonde bimbo a lesson in what happens when you try to hustle in on a Kanker's territory!".
Kevin added, "And to teach that dork what happens when you try to take something that belongs to me!".
Justin remarked, "Strange… I did not see any kind of marking on that young man or lady to indicate that they belonged to either of you. Also, I believe that you are under the impression that they are mere property when they are not. All I see are two good people getting closer to one another, a friendship forming. Though… perhaps it could be something more in the far future?".
The mere mentioning of Nazz and Double D having a future together got Marie raging, the thought of some other girl other than her being with Edd sending her angry through the roof! Same with Kevin, the thought of any other man other than himself with Nazz did not sit right with him at all. Marie growled out, "Listen you! That there is my man! And I intend to pry him away from that blonde bimbo for his own good! And not you or your pesky little sword is going to stop us! Get me!?".
The chivalrous rat who had been experimented on by NIMH shook his head and replied, "I get you, young lady. I also get that you & that young man you're with are in the wrong here. Oh, and there is one more thing ALL of you are going to get.".
Kevin smirked in a mocking manner and remarked, "Oh yeah? What's that, small dork?".
Justin smirked back and answered, "It's this! Have a good flight! Jeremy, upwards quick!". The crow nodded and flew up, the humans wondering what the rat meant… until they heard a car horn sounding off, and they brought their heads down to see the front of a make-shift sleigh barreling towards them!
It was Stitch, still dressed up as Santa as he was at the wheel of the sleigh he built earlier from his rendition of You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch song from earlier! The backseat of the sleigh had Rolf the son of a shepherd & Thunderella the Dwarfelle, the duo whooping loudly as Stitch was cackling in his famous trademark laugh. The four pre-teens screamed loudly in a panic, their faces frozen in a priceless expression of fear that was quite comedic to an onlooker. They tried to flee, but Stitch's makeshift ride was quick, ramming hard into their backs and going so fast they stuck to the front of the vehicle! The sleigh did a few quick spins before flying off from the hall!
Double D and Nazz looked away from the portrait of a poster that featured 2019 Godzilla: King of the Monsters, apparently hearing something that got their attention briefly. The beautiful blonde young lady inquired, "Did you just hear something Double D?".
The intelligent lad scratched his head for a moment before answering, "I thought I did. Huh… must have been our imagination.". The couple than shrugged their shoulders before turning their attention back to the poster, Edd giving some interesting tidbits about the movie with Nazz listening on with intrigue.
The makeshift ride of Experiment 626 flew from the Hall of Memories, joyriding now all over the air as Stitch and his new friends were just loving every bit of the wild ride! However, the ones not enjoying the ride were the Kankers & Kevin as gravity and velocity kept them pinned to the front of the sleigh. Their faces were so comedic at the moment that those who saw them almost busted a gut at seeing such a funny sight on the young ones.
Stitch's wild ride would have continued on more… if not for the appearance of Genie and Eden. The cool, blue original dude along with his sassy, alluring green wife were dressed as highway police patrol & riding atop floating motorbikes that were powered by magic. Genie did his best police imitation and declared, "All right you! Pull over and let me see your license!".
The four-armed alien and band member of the Multi-Dimensional Rock Heads snarled and exclaimed, "NEVER! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!". He then did a sharp turn and drove off, the sudden shift in direction was enough to fling the Kankers and Kevin off of the front and back down hard towards the ground! Genie and Eden turned their sirens on, now chasing the joyriders all over the upper-areas of the dinner theater club.
The three sisters and one male popular male from Peach Creek yelled as their bodies met the ground with a loud SPLAT! They rolled with the momentum for a moment before coming to a stop, their bodies and outfits now all messed up. Amazingly, they landed near a familiar face… which was Eddy! Said boy looked messed up as they did, except his body was covered in burns and what seemed to be electrical discharge.
Lee was glad to see her 'boyfriend' but was also curious on how he got that way. She managed to weakly ask, "W-What happened to you, short stuff?". Eddy's reply was a mere groan, showing that he was too much in pain to answer back.
Johnny 2x4 walked up to them, his companion Plank ever present with him. He answered the eldest Kanker sister, "Oh, Eddy tried to pull a scam on Jafar and Rasputin. You know, those two evil sorcerers from their respective movies? He tried to sell Jafar a lava lamp to him, telling him a cool genie was inside it that could make him free from being a genie himself. And he tried to sell to Rasputin a giant pearl that he told him was very magical, but it was actually a bowling ball painted with white paint. They didn't take too kindly to the scam.".
That was an understatement, as the former advisor to the Sultan of Agrabah & the former advisor of the Romanov royal family did not like being made fools by a mere child. They used their mystical power on Eddy, making him an example on what it means to cross those with magical might. He was electrocuted with green lighting, bit by non-venomous but sharp-fanged snakes, scratched by green magical-constructed bats & finally given a double-magic shot that launched him like a catapult over the patrons until he landed with a SPLAT in the very spot where he was now close to the Kankers and Kevin.
Thankfully, Ed was away when all of this had occurred, following his new hen friend who continued to guide the simple boy away from danger.
Two medical droids that LORD DESTRYUK created appeared, rolling in and picking up the injured parties. They quickly applied medicine ointments and Band-Aids on their injuries before taking them back to their tables, planting them firmly in their seats. The droids instructed them to not do anything strenuous before taking their leave.
At one of the tables that had the Danny Phantom characters, Maddie was chatting with her new friend Piglet when her husband finally came back her. He was grinning wide and stated with joy, "WHOO HOO! Maddie, we did it! Fenton Works is going to be dealing with a lot of businesses here in the Disney universe! Our business is going to skyrocket, our gadgets going to be the hit of many companies! That much I believe in!". Indeed, Jack had managed to get some business deals with many of the companies/businesses that resided in the Disney realm such as McDuck Industries, Xanatos Enterprises, Khan Industries and more. They had modified/changed their weapon designs thanks in part to finding out Danny & Dani were halfas, and also that they along with Valerie had become Spirit Resolvers instead of hunters. That they found out that the specters had unfinished business, and resolved to help them whatever it was that made them stay on the mortal plane of existence.
Maddie smiled brightly and replied, "That's great dear! Now our family business will really boom!". While their inventions had been selling hot ever since the end of the Disateriod fiasco, their business had a bit of a slump now. But with fresh customers and partners in the mix, she and Jack felt it would have their business take off like nothing else!
Piglet asked, "Ummm… excuse me Mr. Jack. Ummm… could I ask something from you?". The large Fenton patriarch looked down at the small form of Piglet, who yelped from seeing someone that literally looked like a giant to him & curled into a ball with his hands covering his eyes.
Jack gave his better half a quizzical look, Maddie explaining that her new friend got easily scared when meeting with anyone of his size. She stated that compared to Piglet, he was a giant. Seeing her point, the father of Danny offered an apology to Piglet and sat down in his seat. The beautiful woman soothed Piglet by stroking his back lightly, saying that it was okay now to look. The tiny resident of the Hundred Acre Wood peeked out to see Jack sitting down, not looking so imposing now though he didn't actually mean to. He slowly uncurled from his form, getting back up and looking Mr. Fenton in the eyes.
He said, "Oh, thank you very much for not making yourself look like a giant anymore.".
The father of Danny, Dani and Jazz grinned and replied, "No problem, little guy! Now, what was the question you were going to ask me?".
Piglet got nervous again and asked, "Well… I was thinking… that, umm… can I… can I have a dance… with Maddie?". Now this surprised the Fenton couple, hearing that the little friend of Winnie the Pooh wanted to dance with the lovely Mrs. Fenton.
Said beauty giggled lightly and answered, "Oh, I'm so sorry Piglet. You are cute and endearing, but I only like to dance with my husband here. Besides, I think it would be very strange for you and I to dance due to… well…". She didn't want to say it out loud, but she was referring to the extreme height difference. This got Piglet down of course, but surprisingly it was Jack who helped him out.
The lover of fudge and family said, "I will say this for you, little guy. You may be short in height, but you sure are big in bravery and guts. Don't get discouraged by this though. Maybe there is someone close to your height who will dance with you. A little lady that is perfect for you, and also will be impressed on how brave you are.". It was true in the eyes of the Fenton man, as he was impressed on how the small being asked him politely if he could dance with his wife. He didn't want to put a negative spin or anything on this, Maddie included, so he decided to help the little guy out in some way.
Piglet perked up a little from Jack's words and asked with a small amount of hope, "D-Do you really think so?".
It was Mrs. Fenton that answered, "We both know so! There is much more to you than most people can see, maybe more to yourself than even yourself can see. When you find that special little lady, either in your world or in another, she'll help you to see that the Piglet I see now is more tall and brave than one gives him credit for.".
Jack added, "Listen to my wife here! And believe me, she's never wrong!". He gave her a big side-hug, showing his affection and devotion to his better half & also conviction in his words. Maddie had mostly never been wrong in most things ever since they got married. Sure she did make a hiccup every now and then in some areas, but when it came to the matter of the heart and family… she was spot on.
Piglet smiled and gave Maddie a hug as best he could, than actually shook Jack's hand. He said, "Oh, thank you! Thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate it! Maddie, thank you for being my friend and protecting me from those bullies earlier! And Jack, you are lucky to have Maddie! She is the best!".
The large and broad human grinned like he had won the lottery and remarked, "No, not lucky little guy. I am blessed, BIG difference there. Maddie is… well, she IS my better half! And I want to do all I can to make her and the family happy!". The curvy and beautiful woman was beaming brightly, knowing without a doubt that she too was blessed. While Jack was not the sharpest tool in the shed and often did some crazy things, acting like a little kid most of the time… when it came to loving her, their children and friends, he was truly second to none! She couldn't imagine her life without him, and hoped that they would be together until the very end.
Soon the song ended, the Electric Mayhem finishing up with flair as the music ceased. The audience clapped and cheered for the Muppets, who waved and soaked in the attention and praise once more. Dr. Teeth and his crew waved to all of their adoring fans before the spotlight on the leader and his Muppet friends faded off, a new spotlight now going back to Ember and her MDRH band. They were missing a band member… but he was brought back by Eden, who was holding Stitch by the waist as they floated down to them.
The green beauty gently deposited the furry experiment down by Ember's feet, than looked to said flaming-haired spirit and stated, "Here you go! By the way, we're moving your band member's ride to the Garage. And… here is a ticket for him for reckless driving & driving without a sleigh permit. Have a nice night.". As she spoke the last two sentences, she took out from behind her back a notepad and scribbled on it. She tore it off and handed it to Ember, who took it and read the contents.
Eden gave a brief salute before flying upwards, all looking to see her join Genie who was now IN Stitch's sleigh now. Once she was inside with her husband, he pulled the stick shift and the makeshift craft quickly zoomed out of there and vanished as they went down a hallway to the left of the club. All of the patrons, guests and band members alike, saw them go with many blinking their eyes at the surreal event that just occurred.
Some moments after the magical couple had left, Ember glared down mildly at Stitch as she waved the ticket to him with her left eyebrow raised slightly. Her posture and facial features screamed what have you got to say for yourself, even though she spoke no words. Stitch gave a large toothy grin, chuckling nervously as he took the ticket from his boss and scurried back to his place with the band.
The rock 'n' roll beauty shook her head, making a mental note to talk to her band member later. She composed herself, taking the microphone from the stand in front of her and speaking, "Hey everyone! Are you all ready for another hit song from the Multi-Dimensional Rock Heads?!". This got a roar of positive approval from the patrons all over the club.
Ember grinned widely and continued, "Now that is what I love to hear! For this next song, it will be Nozomi… and also the resident goofball of the House of Mouse, DJ Rodriguez! So DJ, get yourself on up here!". The patrons were clapping loudly, but also a bit surprised as they wondered why Ember would bring their Band Manager up to sing with them.
Said young man walked up to the stage, going to Ember who smiled and handed him the mic before going back with her band. He was soon joined with Nozomi, the very beautiful and alluring Japanese-American dancer also with a mic in hand. Her fellow dancers/singers were in the background, but a spotlight on them for all to see the three very lovely & talented ladies.
DJ looked to everyone and said in the mic, "Hi everyone! This song is a duet one called Show Me The Light from the 1998 animated film Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Also, I will be doing my best for Nozomi-chan here! I know my singing is not the best since I auditioned many times at American Idol Experience at Disney Hollywood, but never got past the first round. Still, will do my best here!". It was true as the lad had many buttons from said attraction that showed he did enter the first round… but never quite got past it.
Nozomi giggled at the words of her Band Manager and replied in a sweet voice, "Do not worry, DJ-san. I believe that you will do fine. Okay Ember… hit it please!".
The music came to life as the band played, DJ and Nozomi standing side-by-side together as they swayed to the melody. The lights dimmed low as everyone saw it was a slow dance song, and that caused for new dancers to come onto the dance floor. Danny escorted to the area a blushing Dreams Come True 996, the halfa soon putting his left arm around her waist gently while his other arm took a hand in a classic traditional slow-dance form. He was not alone as Peter and Dani took to the floor, the music actually moving the Lost Boy as he mimicked the Fenton lad in holding Dani close like so. This caused both halfa beauty and flier of Neverland to blush heavily… yet never releasing the other's hold as they started to move to the music as well.
Author Kearitona Sjachraelgil was soon escorted by her date Atemu, GODZILLA1996 with his alluring date She-Hulk, Darkness Rissing with his Spring Sprite spirit in tow, DRAGONDAVE45 with his wife Elfire, SaurusRock625 escorting Ahsoka to the area, Maddie and Jack Fenton also going to the dance floor hand-in-hand, Jazz taking Tristen onto the floor as well, Duncan and Clawdeen also going to the dance floor, Edd and Nazz who had emerged from the Hall of Memories also going to the dance floor with Double D once again nervous but not as before, and many more couples soon going to the area.
Even Piglet went to be at the place among the giants, his dance partner being Crysta the fairy from FernGully! Peg and Pete were also up to try their luck in slow dancing, Max and Roxanne already out there on the dance floor… even Sylvia and Goofy were out there as they were taking a bit of a break from their duties! Boyfriends with their girlfriends, husbands with their wives, fiancés with their fiancées and finally friends that wanted to give a slow-dance a try.
{DJ}
I'm out here on my own,
To face the day alone.
I need you to get me through the night!
As DJ started to sing the words, he slowly walked to the left away from Nozomi. A spotlight was on him, red in color like Rudolph's nose. While he was not the best singer, he put all of his emotion and passion into every word he sung.
Lost out in the cold,
I want someone to hold…
I feel you're near, though you're out of sight!
As he continued to sing, he stopped at the end corner of the stage. DJ looked to the couples dancing on the dance floor, the men holding their ladies close and lovingly. Moving/swaying to the music and the lyrics being shown. He looked towards his date Claudette, giving her a true, warm smile before focusing back on the task at hand.
And even though we're far apart,
Search the moonlit sky!
I'll make a wish to be home with you…
Can you hear me cry?
Danny was holding Dreams close to him, the two just basking in the warmth that came from one another. And it wasn't just their bodies… it was their very hearts, their very souls and spirits giving each other warmth and comfort. The kind that came from a special, secret and sweet love. Danny did feel this from the other girls he has been dancing with… yet with Dreams, it was something special. Subtle and small, yet strong as well. He looked into her eyes, both seeing a special light shine from each other's own.
It was the same for Duncan and Clawdeen, the werewolf beauty fashionista gazing into the eyes of the half-human/half-kaiju being & feeling something very strong between them.
Show me the light!
Someone to lead and guide me!
Show me the light!
A love to stand beside me!
Show me the light!
When I fear the dark…
A ray of sunshine, a rainbow's arc!
Show me the light…
Oooh…
Maddie looked into the eyes of her husband, Jack showing to her a light that was meant only for her. That he would always love her, trust her, have faith in her, and be the rock that she could lean on in troubled times. And Mrs. Fenton showed to her husband that she would be there for him, to shine a light that would drive away all negativity and hopelessness. To give a gentle touch when needed, to be passionate in what she did for him, and also to support him no matter what. They had their flaws, their unique quirks, their different personalities… but blended together in love and faith brought forth something truly strong and special that was simply timeless, classic, strong and true.
It was the same for the other couples as well; for Azad and Elsa, Kristoff and Anna, Florian & Snow White-Rhoda, Eric and Ariel, Oliver/Olujimi and Melody, Asce and Cinderella and more. Those that have been married to one another for quite some time, through thick and thin… they each showed their spouses a light that shined brightly for one another.
Nozomi was now ready to sing her part, the spotlight on her a soft blue color that matched her evening dress very well.
{Nozomi}
I'm reaching for a star,
Wondering where you are?
Where is the love…
Searching for me too?
As she sung the lyrics, her light and beautiful tone carrying up for all to hear, she started to move to the opposite end of the stage as well until she was in the spot that DJ was now standing on to the right. Her voice was enchanting and sweet, showing to all that truly ALL of the MDRH had talent than just dancing & looking good.
Oh, beyond the mountain top…
The dream will never stop!
Give me a sign…
I'm running out of time!
Dani was dancing with Peter, the young halfa girl's head on his shoulder as both moved to the music. The ruler and flier of Neverland felt his heart pounding hard, fast… it never went this wild whenever he was fighting Hook or his pirates! His whole being was buzzing with a special, unique energy that he hadn't felt ever since he first met Wendy so many years ago. He looked down at the face of Dani, who looked up at him at the same time. A light blush on her cheeks, her blue eyes just sparkling like water did when sunlight hit it just right. Pan blushed at this, his heart pumping fast… yet a joy spread through his being like wildfire! Something that he didn't even get when flying high or fast.
It was the same for Dani when she looked to Peter, her own heart beating fast with her body feeling an electric tingle. It was similar to when Skulker or some other fool from her world tried to shock her with electricity… but this felt right and good in a way she couldn't describe! So she went along with it, she and Peter continuing to dance on the ground rather than in the air for the moment.
{Both}
Oh, I know that someone's on their knees…
Praying for me now!
Won't you come and hear my pleas?
Save me somehow!
Oh, somehow!
When the two started to sing together, they looked at one another from across the distance. Nozomi's eyes and face looked towards DJ, he doing the same, the emotion showing strong and good as they slowly started to walk towards each other.
{Nozomi}
Show me the light!
Someone to lead and guide me!
Show me the light!
A love to stand beside me!
As they slowly came together, a blanket of artificial snow rained down everywhere. Soft, cool white foam of sort started to descend down on the audience and on the dancers. It made for a pleasant distraction for many, especially for the little ones who liked snow. However, many couples didn't take heed. Only staring into the eyes of their loved ones.
{Both}
Show me the light!
When I fear the dark…
A ray of sunshine, a rainbow's arc!
Show me the light…
{DJ}
Where are you Nozomi?
Once they got close so that they looked like lovers who had just found each other, DJ said the last part as he looked into the eyes of the singer/dancer. Nozomi smiled warmly at the young Hispanic man, than both leaned their foreheads together in a simple but touching gesture like classic lovers with their eyes closed.
{Both}
Show me the light…
When the song ended and the music faded slowly until it ceased, the whole House of Mouse was on their feet as they clapped/cheered/whistled/howled for the duo on the stage! They were really making their positive feelings for the song known to them, Nozomi and DJ opening their eyes and smiling at one another before turning to look at the audience. The two grinned and bowed to the various beings, Ember and her band plus dancers looking at the duo and joining in the ovation. Nozomi's friends were so proud of her, pulling off a performance that was touching and strong.
Mickey Mouse came onto the stage, going in-between DJ and Nozomi with a microphone in hand. He stated, "Now that was great! Everyone, give a big round of applause again please for DJ Rodriguez and Nozomi!". The patrons saw fit to really follow the mouse's request, giving off a powerful positive ovation for the duo. DJ grinned like a kid did before Christmas Eve, looking to Nozomi and asking for her attention. She looked to him and he gave her a big thank you for allowing him to sing with her in the number, taking her hand and giving it a gentleman-like kiss. She blushed and replied that it was no problem.
The Author grin was still on his face, and it actually grew more when he saw Claudette coming & stopping at the stage's steps. He walked down towards it, and was soon enveloped by a warm hug from the blonde Bimbette beauty. He was also given a passionate kiss on the lips from her, making him blush big time and feeling like a real winner! Some of the patrons whooped and hollered at this, congratulating the young man for getting such a kiss from such a beautiful woman.
Mickey chuckled softly at seeing such a nice scene, than remembered why he was on stage now in the first place. He looked to the audience and said, "Oh! I almost forgot! We have three minutes until the cameras come back on! So get ready everyone! The show will resume soon, so get back to your seats as soon as possible!". He looked towards Merlin and Fairy Godmother Cateline, asking if they could use their magic to clear up the area of the fake snow foam that had fallen earlier.
The magical beings said it would be no problem, Merlin taking out his wand along with Cateline. The duo worked together, mixing in their incantation chants before releasing forth their unique magic. The magical energies from both wands shot forth, than quickly mixed together to form a blue beam of energy that looked like a galaxy of stars! The beam seemingly came alive like a snake, and started to zip around the entire floor! Any foam it touched, it dissolved almost instantly! Those on the patrons were also removed, the clothing becoming pristine and spotless while not damaged in the least. Soon, the foam was gone, not even a slippery residue of it left anywhere.
Once the spell was complete, it popped out of existence like a firework. Now that the foam was gone, those on the dance floor could go back to their seats without worrying about sliding and falling. Peter gave Dani a quick hug and peck on the cheek before flying up to the 1st floor where his friends were at, both blushing from the action. Crysta gave Piglet a kiss on the cheek as well for a good dance, the little guy blushing madly and it was Maddie that had to take him back to his table with his friends since he was so happy, he was actually rooted to the spot. She did smile that her new friend managed to get a small yet potent reward from the magical being from FernGully.
Nozomi went to her band mates and fellow dancers/singers, the whole lot congratulating her big time for putting on quite the performance! The alluring Japanese-American beauty blushed from the praise, but very glad that she was able to show her stuff to everyone tonight.
Soon, everyone was back to where they needed to be. And just in time too!
The cameras came back on, the red lights atop of said equipment on to indicate that they were functioning and running again. Mickey and Minnie were once again on the stage, the podium brought out again with microphones in their gloved hands. The main mouse of the house and his little lady love smiled and waved to everyone, a vast majority of the patrons clapping for the legendary power couple.
Mickey asked, "Ha ha ha! Hiyah everyone! Welcome back to the music video awards event! I hope all of you here, and those watching on your various screen in the many other worlds/dimensions/realities/universes out there, are enjoying tonight's events so far!". The result was a loud cheer from the guests that littered the dinner theater club. It was VERY much apparent that they had enjoyed the entertainment and service very much so far.
Minnie giggled and remarked, "Well, I guess that answers that question! And now… we are nearing the finale! The final three music videos are here! They will be shown soon, and then… it will be time for all of you to vote on which one you liked the most for 2019!". This got another around of cheering/applause/clapping from the patrons as they really wanted to vote for the video that had managed to surpass the others they had seen so far.
The main mouse of the house stated, "And now, here are our two special hosts that will do the finale! Please give a warm and big hand for Author Rose Spooks and her favorite friend from the Hundred Acre Wood, Tigger!".
The guests of the House of Mouse cheered as coming onto the stage was the lovely Author, and following her was the ever-bouncing, ever-amusing Tigger. The resident of the Hundred Acre Wood bounced on his tail happily, switching from tail to paws & back again quickly to showcase his energy and excitement at being able to be a host to tonight's event. Rose gave both Mickey and Minnie a friendly hug, the female superstar giving the Author her microphone. Tigger shook the hands of her and Mickey, bouncing still as the trio and audience laughed in good nature at the hyper-active stuffed animal. Mickey managed to give him his microphone despite his bouncing, the two legendary mice wishing the duo good luck before going back to their seats.
Rose stood behind the podium, looking to the various beings that were everywhere and asked, "So… hi everyone! Are you all enjoying a good time?". Her reply was another round of cheers, the positive energy building inside of her & washing away any kind of nervousness she had in addressing such a large crowd.
Tigger chimed in, "Whoo-hoo-hoo! Oh, I know I'm having a great time Rosie! Why, being in a place like this is what Tiggers like best!". He showcased his enthusiasm by bouncing around her, using his tail as he did a circle around her & the podium. He then bounced HIGH, reaching the mid-level of the 1st floor! That showed the kind of strength his tail possessed! He came back down and stood tall next to his friend.
Rose giggled at the antics of the stuffed animal and stated, "Hahahaha! Yes, we can see that very much Tigger! Now than, let's get started! This music video features the song Stayin' Together by Shane Sutton, first featured in the 1990-animated film Jetsons: The Movie. It was made by Princess Merida and her family. And it features Zilla and Nessie from the animated series Godzilla: The Series! So sit back and enjoy the music video everyone!".
The lights dimmed down, Rose and Tigger going to their respective seats as the large main screen above the stage & the various other screens that were about the dinner theater club changed to show a completely black screen.
The screen changed to show a landscape that was filled with life. Trees filled the countryside, spots of clearing here and there, with tall cliffs & hills that also dotted the land. It was the Scottish Highlands, famous for its natural & wild beauty and splendor. Nearby was Loch Lomond, a freshwater lake that was considered a natural boundary between the Central Scotland & the Highlands itself. It was quite deep and ran a long ways in the land.
In the distance was a large stone castle, home to the famous DunBroch clan that was led by the mighty King Fergus & his lovely wife Queen Elinor. While the king was strong and boisterous in a good way to friend and family, it was his wife that held a certain kind of authority that not even he could muster. While he was loud and proclaiming, Elinor was soft-spoken compared to him but with a firm steel in her voice that could match any sword. And wisdom & knowledgeable insight that made her quite a force.
They had four children; the oldest being Princess Merida who was now seventeen years of age. The youngest were her identical triplet brothers known as Harris, Hubert and Hamish.
Said family were at the loch, having an outing of sort as a large, thick blanket was spread on the ground close to the water. King Fergus was playing with his sons on the grass, chasing the three little scamps who showed they were quite agile and nimble for their size & age. Queen Elinor and her daughter Merida giggled as they saw the boys run circles literally around their father before he got dizzy from seeing such an act. He plopped to the ground on his backside, and that is when the triplets tackled him down at once.
Not only were the little ones swift and sure, they were also quite clever and devious than one would give them credit for.
The princess laughed some more before she took a breath of the fresh air, looking to her mother and saying, "Oh Mum… I still can't believe it's just been one year since that crazy incident with the spell cake and… well… everything that followed that.".
Elinor smiled softly and replied, "Yes, I can't believe it either. That it's been a whole year since I was turned into a bear, created quite a ruckus at our home, learned about Mor'du's true origins… and also defeated said demon bear while we mended the bond that helped me to be human once more.". The two shared a look as flashbacks occurred that showed the fateful day when Merida allowed her stubbornness and pride to take over her, resulting in a magic spell that turned her mother into a bear & the two going off on an adventure to find a way to reverse the transformation. And all the time learning about one another, and finding out the origins of the fearsome demon bear that was once a human king.
The two women soon returned back to the present, unloading some food that they had packed away in large baskets. The queen had finished taking out some food from one of the containers, putting it on the blanket on some large piece of cloth when she saw her daughter opening one of the baskets that contained only fish. A large number of carp fish to be precise. Elinor looked to Merida and said, "I still can't believe that you managed to catch all of those fish yesterday. Do you think he will come to eat?".
The mistress of the bow and arrow answered, "Well, he hasn't missed out yet when I feed him back at the castle. And I believe he is here as well. May have followed us from home all the way to here.". She than heaved the basket to the edge of the water, the queen's eyes locked on her as she always seemed a bit nervous when Merida did this.
Nearby, the boys and king stopped their horseplay to watch the princess go to the water's edge with a carp in her left hand with the basket in another. King Fergus got a worried look on his face and said, "Great moons above, I always get a bit on edge when she does this.". The triplets had excited looks on their faces, very much hoping to see something amazing.
Merida took a look around the lock, a small smile on her face as she laid the basket full of carp down and waved the one she had in her hands. She exclaimed loudly, "HEY! I KNOW YOU'RE HERE! I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU! YOUR FRIENDS CAN HAVE SOME TOO IF THEY WANT!".
The water in front of her soon started to bubble and froth, the horses getting very antsy about now as they pawed the ground furiously! And soon rising up from the loch was… Zilla! Yes, the immense mutated sea iguana was in the Disney universe! And he was not alone, as rising up beside him was another sea beast! It was very long and slender, almost like an eel except it had small flippers on each side. On the side of its head were large flippers that almost looked to be like ears. Its tail at the end was a large membrane of sort that acted as a sort of fan that most likely helped to propel itself in the water. Its eyes were a solid amber color.
It was Nessie, a female monster from Zilla's world! And rising up close to the immense mother was her baby, Nessie Junior!
Merida smiled as she saw the behemoths rising up from the depths, Zilla roaring loudly for all to hear. Amazingly, the little beast close to Nessie did the same as if imitating him. The mother growled softly down to her child, almost as if in amusement for his actions. And rising up was another sea beast, similar to Nessie yet different.
The princess said to herself, "I can't believe it's just been three months since you three came here, and one month since we met you Alastair. Already I can feel a bond between us. Well… more between me and Zilla here. I'm still amazed on how you Zilla, Nessie and her son even arrived here…".
~Flashback- Three Months Ago~
Merida and Elinor were coming back after an exhilarating ride through the family grounds, which was quite spacious given how much land they actually had. The princess had learned something more about her mother for a while, and it was this. While she may have excelled in the areas of the bow and arrow, the queen was more skilled when it came to horse-back riding. While Angus and Merida were quite the forceful pair, Elinor and her own steed Ishbel were more agile and steady. They made sharp turns without losing much speed & also could swerve in between tight places that was truly a sight to behold! Again, Merida seemed to underestimate what her mother was capable of besides what she could do in the home.
But she was pleasantly surprised by this, now wanting to bond with her mother even more after seeing such a fine display of horse-womanship.
The two soon trotted back to their castle abode… when they saw something that would change their lives forever more. They saw Harris, Hubert and Hamish taking large sticks and carving something onto the field grounds where the last archery tournament was held at. Elinor inquired, "Now what are those wee scamps up to?".
Merida answered, "I don't know but… something doesn't feel right here…". She peered closer to where the young lads were at & soon spotted a raven atop a book that was near the siblings… one familiar to her! She than gasped as she recognized the bird, as it was the scraggly one that worked with the witch in the woods! The one that made her the potion & also was an excellent wood carver as well.
Her eyes widen when she saw that what her brothers were drawing into the ground looked to be a circle that had rune symbols on it! And said symbols started to glow a light-greenish color! The more the triplets wrote on the ground, the brighter the runes glowed! With a dreadful feeling rising up, she urged Angus to hurry to the spot where the princes were at, Elinor also realizing that something was amiss as she followed her daughter.
The fiery redheaded beauty called out, "Harris, Hubert, Hamish! Stop! Stop that!". However, the mischievous trio did not pay any mind to her as they continued to work on the runes. Merida soon arrived close to them and got off Angus, hoping to stop them… but it was too late. As soon as she got close to them, reaching out for the stick to stop their carving… it was complete.
The runes were all finished, and inside the circle was a large rune symbol that glowed & pulsed with magical light and might!
Merida looked to her brothers in horror and exclaimed, "No! Boys, what did you do?!".
The circle and runes soon glowed as one, a light-green column of light shooting forth straight into the heavens at fantastic speed! The children, young adult, queen and king who was emerging from the castle abode looked up at the light show that was now happening. A large portal of some kind formed in the sky, pulsing with energy and crackling with magical energy. At first, nothing happened… in fact, everything was still. No sound came forth, not even the whisper of the wind.
And suddenly… a large shockwave came from the portal and something IMMENSE fell from it towards the ground!
Merida quickly grabbed the boys and book, running towards Angus & flinging her siblings and herself on him before he galloped away at full pace! Elinor had Ishbel also go full out, Angus catching up to her quickly. King Fergus spotted the two rushing in from the distance, running now to where they would be at their current place of gallop.
The ladies, horses and triplets arrived just in time at a safe distance when the object impacted the land with a resounding BOOM that could be heard all over the area and beyond! The ground shook from the impact as well, the horses and humans stumbling from the shockwave. A huge cloud of dust rose up from the land, limiting the vision of the beings to see what just fell from the sky.
Fergus went to make sure his family was okay, and when they were indeed fine physically, he asked, "Dear Higher Power Above, what in Wisp blue blazes was that?! What happened?!".
The triplets looked down to avoid the gaze of their father and mother, but it was Merida who answered, "Your sons wrote in the ground some strange runes on the ground from this book! And the witch's raven familiar was with them!". The raven had long since flown away the moment the magical beam of light came forth, now gone completely.
The king took the book and examined it, his eyes widening in surprise as he looked over the contents. Soon, Angus and Ishbel whinnied and started to rear up as they felt something now in the area. Something… unnatural.
Fergus looked over the item in his hands and soon whispered in awe, "Glory be! I thought this thing had vanished long ago! How did the lads find this?!".
Elinor looked to her husband with firm eyes and inquired, "What? What is so surprising about this book, dear!?".
He answered, "This is a family book, the DunBroch Grimoire! Many years ago, my family had several members who studied the mystic arts. They recorded all that they had learned or made themselves from this book! But me Mum told me that the members had to flee from the lands due to others not trusting their ancient arts. One of them was said to keep the Grimoire here at the castle for safekeeping, but we never found it! But my boys… how did you find it?!".
Harris, Hubert and Hamish couldn't talk yet to answer his question. The young lad had actually stumbled upon a secret chamber that was hidden in the castle, the boys playing around until they stepped on a secret stone switch in the basement. It was there they found the secret place that one of King Fergus's ancestors practiced their ancient art of magic, finding the book and trying to make one of the unique rune circles from said object.
Merida exclaimed, "It doesn't matter HOW they found it! What is more important is on WHAT they drew in the ground and its purpose!".
The strongman father nodded and looked at the book once more, his eyes widening as he continued to read. After some moments, he answered his daughter's question. He spoke, "The book shows that the runes they made were a Summoning spell. It was meant to summon someone… or something from a completely different realm. And without any proper sentences or wording… the spell… is completely random.".
The group then heard a loud growl coming from the crater that was now on their land, and the sun from above lit up the dust to show a silhouette of something rising up from the hole in the ground. Something… immense. It was soon followed by a loud roar, one that was completely alien and foreign to the humans and horses! In fact, Angus and Ishbel reared up and turned away to flee from the scene.
The dust soon settled and the light showed that the thing emerging from the hole was a bipedal lizard of sort… the likes they had never seen before in their lives! And following from said hole was another being, one with a slender long body followed by a little one close by it!
The lizard with strange spines on his back roared loudly once more, its voice echoing through the Highlands! Zilla and Nessie plus her baby had arrived!
~End flashback~
At first, it was very rough few days for the DunBroch clan. They had holded themselves up in their castle, the family staying put inside the stone walls which were still up as the behemoth bipedal lizard didn't do anything to harm the structure. Nessie and her baby had crawled away to slip into the water that was near the property. King Fergus could not send any kind of message out to his friends or anyone else. Angus and Ishbel had kept a wide berth from the castle, not wanting to go anywhere near it due to Zilla. So while they were hiding from the 'terrible beast', the king and queen went over the family grimoire to find some kind of answer or solution. The triplets had taken them to the secret area where they found the book… and also where they were to be grounded until they were old enough to marry.
And they found some good news… and some bad news.
The good news was that they found an Information spell that allowed them to see exactly who they were dealing with. After making sure the runes they carved correctly on a thick piece of wood, a magical mist floated up and formed a screen for them to see pictures and words. They discovered the names of the creatures and their origins, Merida and her family surprised to learn that Zilla had been changed due to a 'terrible power' to what he was now.
And the bad news was this. The page that had the Reverse Summoning spell, one that would take the giant monsters back to their home world, was in bad shape. The ink had faded badly, making the words and runes very difficult to read. Elinor suggested that they go to the witch the forest, that perhaps she can restore the writing. However, that plan was thrown out the window when her daughter told them that the batty woman was once again away on a trip of sort and would not be back for at least a year or so.
This was very bad news for them, as the old woman was the only available being of magic near their location. Other magic-users were spread out far and wide, and also liked to keep to themselves very much.
After some days had passed, King Fergus decided to try to scare the beast off. He emerged from his abode, yelling and flailing his arms about to see if the immense lizard would be spooked into leaving the area. All he go was Zilla making a grunting sound as if he was asking what in the world the tiny human was doing. When that didn't work, the strong man heaved a large wooden log at the gigantic monster! The wooden projectile landed on the leg of Zilla, where it bounced off and caused the mutated iguana to glare at the one who just threw an object at him.
His spines flashed blue, and Zilla used his Power Breath at the king! Fergus ran away quick back inside to avoid the small but deadly torrent of sea-green flames. Even the clan saw that the flames of the lizard were different from the flames spouted from dragons, shown in the books at least.
When the king's plan did not work, it was Elinor and Merida that decided to do things their way.
The queen and princess walked proudly and straight towards the lizard, Zilla cocking his head to the side as he saw the human females coming towards him like firm alphas. Elinor and Merida looked extremely calm and collected, like the time they had to settle down the various clan heads & members when they got all rowdy. However, they were nervous inside as they were walking towards something that was from another universe. But they held firm and continued on.
Elinor and her daughter got close to Zilla's head as he had lowered it down to get a better look at the duo. They slowly lifted their hands… and put them on the lower jaw area of Zilla! The women felt the cool, leather skin of the titan and silently marveled on how smooth the skin was. It was not like the pebbled skin they had seen on smaller lizards.
The queen and princess started to sing a soothing song to him, Zilla finding the words and emotions from the humans pleasant. He curled up almost like a dog as he continued to enjoy the singing! The triplets and Fergus were completely amazed to see this, Merida and Elinor more so as they saw this action as they sang. After the two had finishing singing, they realized that Zilla was quite intelligent and also much more than meets the eye.
So it came to pass that for the next month or so, that Zilla had started to become more of a guest of the DunBroch clan rather than as a menace. The lizard had actually started to bond with the queen and princess, the two humans showing kindness and an understanding of the lizard. They also discovered that he had more abilities other than his different-colored flames. When they saw that he could burrow into the ground, they were impressed. More so when he actually burrowed through solid rock! And also that he was EXTREMELY agile and dexterous, displaying speed and swiftness for someone his size.
And most important of all… they found that he was quite intelligent. He could follow commands and such, plus seemed to have a keen sense on where his new bonded were at.
They also discovered that Zilla loved fish. He often left to go swimming in the nearby loch, the clan following him to learn more of his habits. Merida and the others saw him jump into the lake, his spines showing up like a shark's dorsal fin only in reverse and disappearing into the depths. He soon rose back up again, his maw filled with fish as he gulped them down. It was also at the time that Zilla brought up Nessie and her offspring, the immense monster that normally dwelled in Loch Ness meeting the humans who had brought them to their world.
At first, the sea beast was very wary of the royal ones, since she had a bad experience with a human named Dr. Hugh Trevor had captured her son in her world. Strange as it may seem, her son was curious about the people, especially the three identical princes. Harris, Hubert and Hamish did not show fear at all towards the small monster. Rather, they were in awe to see an actual baby that was larger than them.
Again, it took some time, patience, coaxing and effort… but the Loch behemoths actually started to tolerate the humans! In fact, King Fergus had started to bond with the mother while the triplets bonded with her son!
And another incredible event happened soon after that! Two months after arriving in the new land, the female Loch beast soon found a male! The sea beast of the Disney realm was different from Nessie; instead of long and slanderous body, this male Loch monster had the body shape of a Plesiosaur, the head like a sea horse, dark gray in coloring on the top part with a creamy white underbelly, and also slightly larger than Nessie. Despite all of the differences, the male actually rejoiced at finding a female Loch monster like himself! Same could be said for Nessie, as she had nuzzled up to the behemoth. She was no longer alone, the male Loch beast feeling the same way.
The humans were certainly surprised to find another Loch monster, and more so when they found this particular beast actually friendly to them! What they didn't know was that this particular sea beast had been raised by humans, from a clan that lived further up Loch Lomond. They were called the Amhlaibh clan, a small but well-knit clan that were masters of raising animals of any kind. They had found the male beast as a tiny one, and had raised it until it reached maturity which was fifteen years of age. Now the beast was fully grown, in its prime and set out to search for a mate.
When the dinosaur-like being saw Zilla emerge and going to both Nessie, her son and the humans, the monster actually thrashed around & roared at the bipedal lizard as a warning to stay away from the others. Zilla was perplexed and impressed with the newcomer's vitality and fierce protectiveness. It took both the royal family, Nessie and Junior to calm the beast down. Telling him that Zilla was not an enemy, but a friend. Once it was told this, and also inspecting the mutated sea iguana out to see if it held true, he accepted Zilla's presence.
King Fergus had actually named the newcomer Alastair, which meant 'defender of mankind' in his native tongue.
Shortly after the meeting, Alastair and Nessie left for some days now. Nessie Junior was looked after by Zilla, whom he saw as an uncle of sort. The monster had kept the little one from going to look for his mother and new father… since he had an idea on what the two were doing now. The royal adults also had a strong feeling, King Fergus having a knowing smirk on his face that made his wife and daughter just shake their heads at him with amused smiles of their own. The triplets, confused over the entire affair.
When they did emerge, which was a week ago, Nessie had a certain aura around her that only women knew what that meant. It would seem that in the upcoming weeks, Junior would be having a sibling!
Now back to the present, Merida waited until Zilla got close enough. When he did and bent down so that his head was at her level, she started to toss the fish to him. He opened his mouth to catch the carp on his immense tongue, the human princess soon tossing handfuls of the fish to him. Once all of the contents were on his tongue, Zilla closed his mouth and swallowed the entire catch whole. He let a soft growl to Merida, showing his thanks for the small snack. She smiled back and stated, "You're welcome big guy. Now, how about a wee bit of a ride around the lock?".
The red-haired beauty turned to her mother and asked if she wanted to join her for a ride on Zilla's head. Elinor thought on it for a moment and answered, "Oh, why not? It should be enjoyable to ride on his head. You've done it a number of time already, and I honestly believe that the big fellow here enjoys your company on his noggin.". She walked towards her and Zilla, the mutated beast looking at the older female human who seemed to be filled with a kind of serene strength that his younger bonded one had yet to possess. He found it interesting to see that kind of strength, for there was none like that back in his universe.
King Fergus saw his beloved going to join Merida in riding atop Zilla's head, the king of course nervous for the safety of his wife. But his worries ebbed away when he saw his better half & daughter climb atop the creature's head with no trouble. Zilla roared loudly, Nessie Junior mimicking him, before taking off into the loch with the ladies riding atop in style.
Nessie and Alastair looked to see their fellow monster swim off, then turned towards the remaining humans. The Loch monster from the other universe roared at them, going to the shore and lowering her head down until it touched the ground. Alastair did the same, lowering his head down side-by-side with his mate. King Fergus and the triplets were a bit amazed to see this, and it showed clearly on their faces. The muscled man pointed to his face and asked, "You… You want us… to ride on you as well?".
Nessie nodded her head, Alastair doing the same. This really stunned the human males since the sea beasts had not granted them the choice to sit upon their heads. But it seemed that things had changed after seeing Zilla letting the human females on his own cranium.
King Fergus walked towards Alastair, but the male Loch beast snapped at him while Nessie crooned to him. It seemed that the monster lass wanted him to ride on her head, which made sense since she knew the human longer than Alastair. Harris, Hubert and Hamish went over and scampered onto the male Loch monster's head, since it seemed he was friendlier towards them than their father.
Once King Fergus was secure enough on Nessie's head, and the trio of trouble-making red-haired boys on Alastair's noggin, the duo raised their serpentine heads and took off after Zilla with Nessie Junior following them.
You and me been together for a long, long time..
And we always pull through!
Every time that we're going, it's a little bit rough…
I know I can count on you!
Zilla swam in the lock, head raised above the surface as not to get his bonded wet. Elinor was feeling the thrill and exhilaration of riding atop his head, a rush at riding something from another universe that was so different and powerful from anything she had seen so far in the world. Merida was grinning as the two sat together to make sure they didn't fall off. They two heard whooping behind them, turning to see that the noise was coming from King Fergus and the boys! The two women were smiling and laughing in delight and awe as they saw the rest of the family together in the loch, riding atop the newest addition to the clan.
Zilla turned his head slightly to see Nessie and Alastair catch up with him, Nessie Junior between the two adults as they swam together like a pack within the cool waters of the lake.
Cause every day's a new adventure,
Long as I'm with you!
And you're never gonna have to go it alone!
Merida called out, "Ain't this fun, father?! All of us together, riding on top fantastic sea beasts?! It's incredible!". Her father called out that it was indeed wonderful, and that he was glad to have taken the chance to ride atop such a beautiful girl like Nessie as he pat the head of the Loch monster, she actually crooned a bit from the pat.
Elinor called out, "Hey! How about a little race? To see who is the swiftest in the water! Zilla, Nessie or Alastair?". Nessie Junior looked at her and screeched, as if asking if they forgot about him. It appears that they also understood human language well! The queen smiled and apologized, soon including him in the race. She also looked down at Zilla and patted his head, asking if he was willing to do this. His answer was a roar… and his speed increasing greatly, the women folk on top of his cranium shrieking in surprise and joy as they held on as best they could to him.
{All for one, one for all!
Through joy or sorrow…
We're stayin' together!
Me for you, you for me!
We'll face tomorrow,
We're stayin' together!}
King Fergus was stunned at how Zilla moved in the water, but a determined smirk appeared on his face as he realized the race was now on. He looked down to Nessie and said, "Come on, lass! We can't let them show us up! Now come on, move this bonnie form of yours and show them what you can do!". Nessie screeched before whipping her tail and body, her speed increasing as she cut through the water to catch up with Zilla, Alastair roaring before doing the same. Harris, Hubert and Hamish cheered loudly as the male Loch monster they were riding on increased his own speed. Nessie Junior cried out as he too followed as best he could, almost calling out to them to wait for him.
As they rode atop their behemoth friends, Merida and the others knew that one day… they would have to explain the existence of Zilla and the others to their fellow clan friends. Something like them would not remain a secret for long. But they resolved that until that day comes… they would just enjoy the time with their new friends who were starting to come more into the clan themselves!
We all need somebody watching out for us,
Baby, I'm the one for you!
I will always be the one who comes to bail you up,
Anytime the world falls through!
Zilla was in the lead for the time being, but Nessie was catching up to him quick. Even though Zilla was a mutated sea iguana and his place was in the water, Nessie had the advantage of being a creature that lived purely in it. So she had some natural advantages he didn't have. King Fergus was smirking wide when they got close to Zilla and the ladies, Elinor and Merida seeing the competitive look on his face. It was adorned on their very own of course, since the queen and daughter also were competitive as well. He called out to them, "Sorry dear, Merida! But it seems we're going to be winning this little race!".
Merida called out, "Don't count on it Father! Zilla and us are just warming up! Aren't you boy?". Zilla roared out again and whipped his tail to increase his speed a little. He could go faster if he dove underwater, but that would put his bonded at risk and that was a no-no there. Nessie started to move faster as well, Alastair close behind her in third place. Nessie Junior was in last place, but he was actually enjoying the swim with his family and new bonded humans.
So don't you worry 'bout tomorrow,
Let your dreams guide you!
And don't you ever be afraid to make them come true!
Zilla reached a certain point in the loch when he did a sharp turn, surprising everyone including his bonded. Elinor inquired, "My word! Why do you think he turned so fast, Merida?". Her daughter answered that she had no idea, that perhaps Zilla wanted for the race to be all around the lake & for it to end at the point where they started out at. The queen thought on this for a moment, than concluded that her firstborn was more likely right in that assumption. And Merida was correct, for Zilla was going to swim a full lap around the large loch. Nessie and Alastair changed course to follow them, but Nessie Junior had other ideas.
The little guy actually cut across the water to catch up to Zilla, following off course to be at his side. The humans laughed as they saw this, Merida calling out, "Hey now! That's what we call cheating, you little scamp!". Nessie Junior just roared at her, doing his best to keep up with his uncle but he was slowly starting to fall behind until he was beside his mother. Elinor giggled and said that the wee lad still had some growing to do before he could be a swift swimmer like they were.
{All for one, one of all!
Through joy or sorrow…
We're stayin' together!
Me for you, you for me!
We'll face tomorrow,
We're stayin' together!}
When Nessie Junior was once again by his mother's side, the large serpentine titan growled and hissed at her offspring. King Fergus managed to guess what the lady monster was saying, looking down at the small Loch child and saying, "Ye mother's right, lad. Just give yerself some time and growing. And soon, it'll be you swimming rings around us! Until then, just do your best!". King Fergus was not only a proud and brave warrior, he was a good father too as his own offspring could attest to that. Junior roared back, as if saying okay before keeping his pace beside his mother.
The triplets riding on top of Alastair soon caught up with his mate, the two Loch beasts nuzzling heads together as a sign of love and trust. The little human boys made faces at seeing the sight, since to be fair they were still very young. But King Fergus smiled warmly and chuckled, knowing that the two sea creatures were acting more like him and Elinor. He would be there for her & always show her how much she meant to him in all possible ways.
Na, na, na!
Na, na, na!
Na, na, na, na!
We're stayin' together!
As the race continued with Zilla being in the lead, Merida looked to her mother and asked, "Mum, do you think Zilla has his own lady back in his world?". While the Information spell they used showed the royals the names and how the monsters came to be, it didn't show them everything. Zilla indeed had a mate, a large female Komodo dragon monster by the name of Komodithrax. Before arriving to the Disney realm, he had actually been visiting Nessie and her kid at Loch Ness. It seemed that her son actually missed him, and thus the lizard swam back to Scotland from New York to see look up on the kid he helped save some time ago.
It was the same reason why they were brought along. The Summoning spell that brought them was originally meant to summon Zilla, but since he was with Nessie and her kid… well, they just went along for the ride. Elinor was in thought for a moment after Merida made her inquiry, than answered, "I'm sure that our friend here as a lady back in his home, dear. And if he does, all the more reason to find the counter spell to send him home there. I bet he misses her something terrible.". She was not wrong, as Zilla was still wondering about his mate and if she was okay. But until something happened, he would not let worry overtake him and continue to wait patiently for the time he could go home.
Na, na, na!
Na, na, na!
Na, na, na, na!
We're stayin' together!
Zilla was at the halfway point in his circling of the loch when he sensed something amiss. He stopped and rose back up to his full height, causing his bonded on top to keep their balance as the sudden shift in movement surprised them. Nessie and Alastair also stopped, rising to their own height with Nessie's son by his mother's side. Zilla turned his head left and right, looking for the cause of his concern. Elinor asked, "Wha-? What has gotten into Zilla? Why do this?".
Merida answered, "He knows something, Mum. Something is here… something that is getting him on edge.". She wasn't the only one that knew this. King Fergus knew even before the women folk did that something was not right, his warrior instincts flaring the moment Zilla rose up. He saw his posture and stance, realizing that something was tingling at his senses… something that reeked of danger. He stood at the ready atop Nessie, looking for whatever it was that got the beasts' senses going fast. The triplets were also looking around to see what got the race interrupted.
Zilla moved his head to the side to see something emerging from the lake! Something close to his size!
So don't worry bout tomorrow,
Let your dreams guide you!
And don't you ever be afraid to make them come true!
It looked to be a long dragon of sort, made entirely out of water! It had two heads attached to one body with a swirled snout and distinctive ears, glowing yellow eyes looking like it had two rings in them. A larger circle containing a smaller one. It let out quite unusual hissing/roar at the flesh and blood monsters, Zilla roaring loudly with Alastair & Nessie doing the same as she wrapped a tail around her little one. Elinor's eyes widened as she spoke, "A Pictish Dragon… a Pictish Dragon made entirely out of water!". Merida knew what kind of dragon was that, as it had been a part of Scottish folklore. She had been told tales of such a beast as a child, but this was the first time seeing one.
King Fergus called out, "Elinor, Merida! Keep a sharp eye out! I believe this beastie here is made of magic, not of the supernatural kind!". This did make sense to the women folk, as they had seen blue Wisps & they were considered to be of supernatural origins. There were creatures that were crafted by magic such as Mor'du who turned into a demon bear, so it was possible that someone versed in the art of magic had created the Pictish Dragon entirely out of water.
{All for one, one for all!
Through joy or sorrow…
We're stayin' together!
Me for you, you for me!
We'll face tomorrow,
We're stayin' together!}
The Pictish Dragon roared again and let out a torrent of powerful pressurized-water at the group! Zilla countered with his Power Breath, the sea-green flames racing towards the column of water. When the two collided, the result was a brilliant blast of hot steam that erupted and covered a good amount of the area! Zilla looked over to see if he could see, hear or sense his enemy. He got his answer as the dragon burst from the steam, jaws opened wide to clamp on his head! But Nessie was swifter in reaction, coming fast with snapping the neck line of the watery beast! The head came apart, turning back to normal water and splashing all over Fergus! He didn't mind the water much, shaking it off quick to see what happened to the Beast.
They all saw the watery monster reform its head, now positive that the being before them was nothing more than a magical construct. Alastair snarled and roared at the behemoth, wanting to intimidate it so it could leave. He couldn't really fight at full strength or ability due to the triplets being on his head. The yellow eyes of the Pictish Dragon seemed to pulsate, flashing wildly which got the humans confused. Just as it had appeared, the construct gave a roar… before falling apart back into regular water. Merida inquired, "Umm… what just happened?".
Elinor answered, "I guess that whoever made and controlled the beast decided to give up, hence the beastie turning back into normal water.". But that still left the question on who made such a construct… and why.
{All for one, one for all!
Through joy or sorrow…
We're stayin' together!
Me for you, you for me!
We'll face tomorrow!
We're stayin' together!}
The three monsters from another different universe & the native resident looked this way and that, trying to see if they could sense their opponent. It seemed that the magical energy that gave the creature life was now gone completely, not a trace of it could be felt or seen. Zilla felt that a victory was achieved, and let out a victorious roar that echoed throughout the area! Nessie Junior copied him, letting out his own squeak/roar to mimic his uncle. Nessie and Alastair also let out screeches of their own, to show that they had defeated an enemy. The redheaded mischief-makers on top of Alastair laughed, doing their own growls of victory along with the monsters.
King Fergus saw this, and slowly but surely a laugh rose from his throat at seeing his sons mimicking the sea beasts. This broke the tension all were feeling at the moment, Elinor and Merida soon sporting smiles on their faces. The family & their friends had come out with a win! But little did they know that someone was watching from a distance, deep in the forests as this being was a human. One could not tell if it was a boy or girl, but they did carry a staff with a blue jewel inside that glowed with magical energy. The being than slipped away, raising some questions on who was this being… and why did he or she attack the royal family and monsters?
Na, na, na!
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na!
We're stayin' together!
Na, na, na!
Na, na, na!
Na, na, na, na!
We're stayin' together!
As Zilla and his fellow giant beasts finished with their roaring, they returned to the shore to drop their human companions back to dry land. Zilla stepped out from the cold waters, bending down so his bonded could slid off. First was Queen Elinor, sliding down with elegance and grace befitting her character. Merida… she just jumped down and landed on both feet beside her mother. Nearby, King Fergus slid off Nessie and patted the female's head to thank her for an exciting ride. Harris, Hubert and Hamish slid off Alastair and actually hugged the side of the male Loch monster's head as a show of thanks & gratitude for such a thrilling event. Nessie Junior actually went to his uncle, wanting to be petted by the females. Merida and Elinor chuckled/giggled at the sight of the little one crawling towards them, than going to said wee beast to give him a hug around the neck area.
Zilla looked down at his bonded, than back at the loch. He knew that the creature they faced earlier was not natural at all, especially how it vanished like that. He growled and snorted softly, believing that he would see the construct again and soon. Merida saw this, than went over to pat the foot of the immense monster from another universe. She said, "Don't worry boy. If that thing appears again, we'll be ready to take it down! And… thanks for showing me and my family a bonnie good time.".
The mutated sea iguana looked into the eyes of Merida, feeling the confidence and gratitude from her. He nodded, than roared loudly for all to hear! Nessie Junior again copied his uncle, making the others look on amusement. The royal family gathered together, King Fergus holding his sons with Queen Elinor on his left side & Merida on her remaining side. Zilla stood directly behind the royal humans in the back down the middle, followed by Nessie on his left and her son on his right. Alastair came to his mate and nuzzled her, the two sharing a moment before all of them roared loudly! The scene than froze, showing to all a picture-esque moment of the Dunbroch clan with their new companions! One native… the three beings from a completely different universe!
The screen than faded to black, with the Monsters and Magic insignia showing once more. The audience cheered/clapped/hooted loudly for the unique music video they just saw! The patrons really enjoyed the video they saw, and this proved it. When the lights came back on, Rose and Tigger were back on the scene with mics in hand. The bouncy tiger exclaimed, "Whoo-hoo-hoo! Now that was one Tigger-rific video! I give it a high-grade bounce for originality! Whoo hoo!". He then performed a very powerful spring bounce with his tail, showcasing to everyone how strong his appendage was to make sure a bounce into the air.
While the resident of the Hundred Acre Wood was bouncing around, the female Author declared, "Let's hear it for Princess Merida and her family for making such an awesome music video for us to watch & listen to!".
Said beings rose up from their table, waving to the crowd and even taking some bows as the spotlight was on them! The family looked to be both proud of their accomplishments, and also humbled that they were receiving such praise from the audience. Bonkers D. Bobcat, who was nearby at a table with his date the lovely Fawn Deer & his best friend Fall-Apart Rabbit, called out, "Wow! That was some awesome music video you all made! I give it two thumbs up! Way up!". He made said gesture with said thumbs… than said parts actually elongated and reached about five feet before snapping back into normal position! The bobcat star turned officer was shaking due to the recoil.
The triplets laughed at the cartoon stunt, Merida giggling also as she found Bonkers very funny even after so many years had passed. King Fergus looked proud and stated, "Well, what did you expect?! When something is created from this family, it always turns out good!". Elinor just giggled at the boasting from her husband.
Up in the Balcony Seats, Statler and Waldorf decided to make their presence known again in the best way they knew how. The short, near-bald elderly gentleman turned to his hot Arabian date and asked her, "Say, do you think that king guy and his family can do something with the Muppets?". She shook her head no, and it was Statler who answered him.
The tall, lanky man remarked, "I doubt that. He said that something created from his family would turn out good. The Muppets weren't created by them!".
Waldorf finished it off, "Well, they should consider themselves lucky! Do-hohohohoho!". The two gorgeous Arabian dancers giggled as well, never getting tired of the hecklers antics & cracks.
Back on stage, Tigger managed to get himself calmed down and ceased bouncing… for the moment anyway. He then exclaimed, "Alright than! Which video is up next, Rosie?".
The lovely Author answered, "Next up is Turned On, Sold Out, Hooked On Jesus! It is a song that is on the music CD Carman: Yo Kidz. It features Isabel Annaliese Molina & Lily Antonia Vela, the OC's from the Monsters and Magic series that belong to DJ Rodriguez, based off his real nieces. And also Shelia Go, a.k.a. Shego.". The spotlight that was on Merida and her family went to said OC's and Shego, who was sitting with her date who was a young man by the name of Arthur Caractacus.
Arthur is an Irish-born man, born and raised by Brion & Aisling Caractacus. He is a year older than Shego, graduated top of his class in both high school and college, had a good nature that allowed him to make friends easily enough, had a strong moral compass & sense of honor… and also held a potent secret that Miss Go only just learned about. His family had been the protectors of a mystical item, passed down from generation to generation. It is rumored that the family came from the legendary Irish hero Lugh, member of the Tuatha Dé Danann which was a supernatural race that thrived in Irish mythology, but it was not actually proven.
Said item was a crown that multiplied the abilities of the wearer ten-fold! In addition, granting protection from foreign energy to the point that said user would be immune to the effects of said energy & the ability to nullify it!
The young lad had met Shego when she came to his hometown in search of rare treasures. However, said former villainess had been ambushed by two dozen henchmen on the orders of several disgruntled explorers who did not take too kindly that she had beaten them to certain artifacts in the past. Before she could activate her powers and take on the goons, Arthur had come to her aid! While he was strong in mind, he was also formidable in the fighting arts. He was trained by his father in wrestling holds, his mother in bataireacht or stick fighting.
The duo had teamed up to knock about a dozen of the fools out cold, the rest retreating. Shego thanked him for the assist, but also noticed something… she could not feel her plasma powers at all! He said it was nothing, that he was doing his duty and honor to help a lady in distress. He also told her that he knew who she was, and while knowing that she could have taken the henchmen alone with her skill and powers… he still would have helped anyway.
The two had gotten to know one another during Shelia's stay in Ireland, and had kept in touch even when she left to explore more of the planet. And their dating continued for two years strong, until Shego came back to him one day and asked him how was it he could nullify her plasma powers when around him. It was than he decided to trust her enough with the secret of his family, taking Shego to a place that was hidden from the outside world in a special way & showing to her the crown. He explained his lineage to her, and also about the crown's gift that it bestowed to the user. Shego was smart enough to put the pieces together.
Due to his family being protectors & around the crown so much, the mystical artifact's aura was most likely absorbed by the family for generations and they didn't even realize it. That would account for the family RARELY getting sick from diseases, and also on how Arthur was able to nullify her power when she was around him. It didn't hurt her or make her weak, but it still stunned her to feel her comet powers weakening until it vanished completely when very close to Arthur.
It also made her glad due to the fact she could be really free, to cut loose and not get worried about hurting her man with her powers on accident. The duo were still together, and Arthur was actually considering on popping a very important question to Shego in the future.
Tigger exclaimed, "Now this sounds grrrr-eat! Okay everyone, let's see what this music video is all about! Okay Horace old buddy, do your stuff!". The lights went down once again, Tigger and Rose going back to their respective seats quickly to watch the show. The screens all around the place once again went black.
The screens came to life, showing to all a familiar setting. It was the castle of the Beast, or more accurately was the home of King Léandre Célestin & Queen Belle Célestin. And when the two had stepped down from ruling, the crowns/titles/responsibilities had been passed down to their son Mainard & his wife Kathrin. Now to the present, the place looked to be deserted and slowly eroding away. At a closer look, the place looked to be deserted. Weeds and vines, plus dead trees and bushes lined the Main Courtyard of the castle. Said structure was now dirty and aging, showing that the place had not been without any family or care for years. While it was still standing, it would take a lot of love, care and re-working to make it livable like in the past.
Two young women had entered the premises through the rusted gates, walking slowly towards the castle. They looked towards a large statue one that looked to be covered in thick green algae of sort, and unlike the rest of the statues that littered around the place… this one was completely intact and in good shape! The older woman, one of seventeen years of age, wiped away some of the green substance to reveal the face while the younger woman of sixteen years of age wiped the same substance off the name plaque that was etched on the base underneath the statue.
The older woman stated, "This is it! I know that face anywhere!".
Her younger companion put in, "Yes, and the name is the same as well from the others! This is Anguirus! This really must be the Célestin Castle than! We finally found it!".
The older woman was Lily Vela, and the younger girl was her cousin Isabel Molina! The duo adventurers were still on their family vacation, exploring Europe while they, on the sly, searched for more structures of the royal families from the past that had left behind clues, artifacts and more surprising stuff that linked them to beings from another world… to be more precise, giant monsters from a completely different universe!
The rains had finally stopped in the area they were in France, but transportation to the next destination was delayed due to the storms. So that gave the cousins little time to search the countryside before they had to go to another part of Europe. While the rest of their family members explored the town they were in currently, they had snuck out to search for more castles. They had run into other structures on their journey, but none of them belonged to the Célestin family.
But now, they hit the jackpot!
Lily suggested, "Do you think the secret entrance to where the family hid the tail spike of Anguirus is in the castle? Or is it somewhere out here?".
Isabel thought on it for a moment and answered, "I don't think it would be in the castle. From what I heard, much of the place was looted back in the days during World War I and World War II. If they had found something more than just furniture and jewels in there, it would have been in pictures or reported to their superiors.".
The Vela woman saw that her cousin had a point. Most of Europe had been set ablaze, figuratively & in some parts of the country literally, when the world wars started. Most castles that had been left to their descendants were cleaned out, either by Axis or Allied soldiers. And said descendants… most likely scattered on the wind, and that was the best case scenario.
Lily looked to the statue, and a thought came to her head. She inspected it and saw that it was truly intact & in good shape despite how time had passed. She put her hands on the face of Anguirus, inspecting it and looking for something. She then felt a small jolt like static electricity going through her body, and a smile came to her face.
She stated, "I believe that our friend Anguirus here was left standing for a reason. Any person that came here and tried to smash it to pieces, they probably saw something that defied scientific explanation and left the place. I felt a small jolt just now, and it has that same kind of tingling feeling we felt when we saw Godzilla's scale, Mothra's giant golden scale and Rodan's chest spike.".
Isabel's eyes widened when she inquired excitedly, "Does that mean what I think it means?!".
Lily smirked with confidence and put in, "Yes! This statue must have been imbued with magic after being made the old-fashioned way, maybe with a repair/restoration spell that kept it from being destroyed like some of the areas around here! And if it is here, than…".
The two started to touch the statue all over, wanting to see if they could find a secret switch or hidden compartment that would lead to the chamber that held another tome & also more art, artifacts… and also the precious tail spike of Anguirus that said spiked shelled monster gave to Belle & Mainard all those years ago. It was Isabel who found the switch, pulling down on Anguirus's tail. Once she did that, a click was heard and Lily saw some words forming underneath the plaque's name.
She called her cousin to her, the two young ladies seeing the words SPEAK THE PASSWORD. The duo looked at each other, smirked and declared loudly, "Monsters and Magic!".
The result was the words fading… and the ground around them rumbling! The magic and the mechanics of the area were activating! What the girls didn't know that before he left the world, Belle's father Maurice left all of his knowledge on mechanics & their functions to his daughter. She couldn't make much out of them, but amazingly it was the Bimbettes that helped her out!
The blonde trio had finally managed to get over Gaston's death, and started to grow more in areas that surprised everyone including themselves. Laurette had actually taken a shine to Maurice's inventions, finding them fascinating and learning much of machines from him. He actually took her on as an apprentice, teaching and showing her all the stuff that he had learned over the years about many a thing when it came to inventing stuff. Before he died, he actually left some blueprints for her to try out an invention he had finished designing… but knew that he would never work on it himself.
Laurette's special talent was the ability to absorb information quickly & spot small but critical details in machines that needed to be addressed.
Claudette's talent was actually making anything with precision and exact details that it was uncanny. It seemed that she was good with her hands in crafting anything from wood all the way to metal!
Paulette's special talent was design, showing an artistic flair for anything. Anything she drew on paper was incredibly detailed and precise as well. She had a very active imagination when it came to designing anything!
Together, the Bimbettes helped the Célestin family in making the secret chamber and moving statue! Also Rosalie the Enchantress also gave aid to them in the areas of magic.
Now, the statue of Anguirus started to slide slowly to the right. But as it did, Lily and Isabel could feel the ground shifting underneath them. They hastily retreated a distance until they were out of the stone circle, seeing the stones vanishing as a hole started to form. When the statue continued to move, more stones vanished. And when it finally reached the edge of the stone circle and outside of it, it stopped… and the place where it once stood now had a large hole with steps spiraling downwards!
Isabel and Lily were feeling very giddy at the moment, knowing another adventure awaited them down there. They high-fived each other and proceeded to walk down the stairs… not realizing that they had company!
Watching from a distance from a dead tree was Shelia a.k.a. Shego, the mercenary with honor now still keeping up with her orders to trail the cousins & keeping out of sight. When they arrived at the castle, she went around the perimeter, leapt over the wall and perched herself in the tree with incredible stealth and reflexes. Showing that despite her age, she still had the moves & also the subtle style that was needed her.
When she saw the secret entrance being revealed, she smiled as the girls had hit pay dirt… and so did she. She called over her communication device, "Mirage, this is Shelia. Targets have found the secret entrance on the Célestin grounds. They are now heading inside of it.".
Mirage's voice came on, "Understood. Send me the coordinates for the area, and once it's confirmed on our end, you follow them. But remember to stay out of sight still, and if need be lend a hand. Those girls are valuable to us, especially to Mr. Xanatos. So make sure they are kept safe. Mirage out.".
Shelia waited as she looked at her wrist watch, which was a Tiffany CT60 Chronograph 42 that had been heavily modified for various purposes. She pushed one of the button dials on said watch, the face flashing red for a 30 seconds… than turning green that indicated that the coordinates for the castle were sent to her employer's computer system & stored in the data banks. The face turned back to normal, and the freelancing agent leaping from her perch to land on the ground with grace & style.
She walked to the secret entrance, looking down at the stairs as it spiraled downwards… than saw the statue starting to wobble and move back into place! Knowing that if she didn't react quick, the entrance would be closed up! She quickly rushed down the stairs, just in time at getting in as the stones appeared to seal up it up from above. The room was soon filled with darkness, light coming down from below thanks to the flashlights the cousins brought with them.
Shelia knew that if she used her plasma powers to give her light, it would give away her position. So she pushed a secret button on the side of the sunglasses she was wearing to switch her visor to go to Night-Vision mode. Once she could see through the darkness, she made her way downwards to keep track of her quarry.
Meanwhile with Isabel and Lily, they were now at the bottom of the stairs and looking around the area with their flashlights. Vela's and Molina's always came prepared! The ladies were walking slowly down a corridor, shining their lights on the walls to see if they could find anything to help them out. They saw torches on the wall, but sadly didn't bring any matches to light them up with. Isabel saw something underneath one of the torches, a stone block that was slightly jutting slightly outward with the seal of the Célestin family on it.
A thought came to her head, laying a hand on the stone block and pushing it inwards. The result was the torches alongside the walls lighting up, one by one as the place was soon bathed in light from the red-orange flames that now danced within the torches! Shelia had the quick thinking to deactivate her visor, least she get blinded from the night-vision flash that usually came when light suddenly sprang up when one wore night-vision equipment.
Lily looked to her cousin and gave her the thumbs up, telling her that she did great in finding the switch for the room. Turning off their flashlights, the girls looked around to see that were now at the end of the long hallway they had been walking on & in front of them was a large jutting stone that had words on it. It was in French, but thankfully both ladies had translation books with them in their packs. The duo took them out and started to do some quick but rough translations from French to English.
The Vela woman finished and said, "Okay… let me see if I got the translation right. Ahem… To the worthy ones who were able to find this secret area, let it be known that you must past a series of test in order to reach the goal. To reach what we, the Célestin family have kept safe for years. If you wish to continue on, put all of your mind, body, heart, soul and spirit on the line! No hesitation at all in any way! Sincerely, the Célestin Family- Belle, Léandre, Mainard, Kathrin.".
Isabel checked her own translation & saw that her own words matched her cousin's perfectly. She than looked down to see two small stone buttons below the words; the top having the French words for Yes and the bottom having the words for No. She looked to her relation and asked, "So… are you ready for this test? I know I am!".
Lily smirked and answered, "Of course! Remember the song Uncle Dinosaur… I mean, Tio DJ showed us when we were little?". Back in their youths, their uncle DJ Rodriguez used to roar like a T-Rex or Velociraptor, chasing his nieces and nephews who enjoyed it immensely. Throughout the years, the nickname kinda stuck with him.
The Vela woman continued, "The song was from his fave music CD called Carman: Yo Kidz and the song was at the end of it. You know, the one I'm talking about?". Isabel racked her memory, than remembered the song very much! That is when she put it together and knew what her cousin was saying. Nodding, the Molina woman pushed the button marked Yes… and the stone soon slid into the ground, the torches on the side of the walls going out! However, the hallway that was in front of them lit up again with torches on the side, a signal that the test was now starting!
Lily exclaimed, "Come on, let's go!". The two rushed down the hallway, the song that they remembered now playing in their heads. Shelia followed them, keeping a distance as she saw the cousins initiating the test. She did hear their conversations, and giggled a little at the nickname of their uncle, and was puzzled on what song they mentioned earlier.
~Instrument Score~
I got the Word in my hand and I'm doing my best!
But ain't no kinda numbers for this kind of test!
Going to the top with a hundred percent!
No hesitation! I'm confident!
Lily and Isabel came to their first challenge, which was a puzzle test. In front of them was a slanted stone slab, which had tiles on them of a picture that was all jumbled up. In front of them were stone tiles that matched the smaller ones on the slab exactly. The two ladies looked at each other, smirked and started to get to work. Their mothers had showed them puzzle games when they were young, and it seemed that the effort to finish a puzzle correctly was now paying off. Shelia decided to take the scenic route… actually crawling on the walls above! Her suit had special suction functions that allowed her to stick to surfaces like certain animals do, and also silently so that she could not be detected.
In some aspects, she became a green, female version of a certain costumed superhero that lived in New York City. She looked down to see the puzzle the two were working on as they shifted tiles this way and that.
Lily and Isabel managed to finish and complete the puzzle… which was the Monsters and Magic insignia, the kind that they had seen in the other tomes they collected! The picture on the tiles & on the large stone tiles pulsed with golden light, and the door in front of them opened. They let out a victory cheer before running ahead, Shelia following them as she turned off the suit's suction function and gave chase.
{Lord, I'm runnin'!
Gonna make a hundred!
Gonna make a hundred!
Ninety-nine and a half won't do!}
They soon came to another puzzle, this the tiles many and smaller on the stone slab as well as the stone floor. Lily and Isabel cracked their knuckles, going to work once more while Shelia once again took the high ground. She looked down to see that the tiles were numerous, and wondered if the girls would need a bit of help. But to her amazement, the determination and concentration on the faces of the Molina and Vela woman remained… getting more intense as they continued to work!
In ten minutes, they finally finished the puzzle… which showed the picture of Anguirus, exactly like the statue one up above! The small and large tiles glowed golden before the door in front of them opened. Isabel proclaimed, "This is awesome, cuz! With the two of us working these tests, we can't lose! No way!".
Lily put in, "Yeah! We're not going to slow down for anything here! Let's go!". The duo rushed onward down the next corridor to their next challenge, Shego following once more like before. She admitted that she admired the confidence that the two had, similar to her own.
{Lord, I'm runnin'!
Lord, I'm runnin'!
G-G-Gonna be a winner!
Winner!
With the Lord on my side…
I can't lose!}
The next test they came to was an obstacle course. On the floor and sides were holes, and when the ladies took a step towards the place… a sharp spike suddenly came forth from the holes! Isabel and Lily jumped back and saw that the course required timing and coordination… otherwise, you would be skewered by the spikes that came out. Lily commented, "Wait! Look! The spikes aren't coming out at random. They… they seemed to be timed, each one different and I believe in a pattern…".
Isabel put forth, "Then we need to time where we go just right and quick, otherwise its Molina and Vela Shiskabobs on the menu!". The ladies got into positioned, waiting until a certain spike shot up from the ground in front of them, than retracted back into the ground… and that is when they made their move! They ran, hopped, leapt and jumped all over the place, making sure to get the timing right to go to another section before any spike skewered them where they stood!
Shelia took the high road again, and good thinking since they were no spikes on the ceiling. She looked down at the duo and said, "I have to say, those two continue to impress me. Not super athletes or such like that, but they got the teamwork and the timing down.".
They run to the East!
They run to the West!
They try to be the greatest!
They try to be the best!
After some intense workout, the ladies managed to reach the other side. They panted as they made it safely to the door in front of them, a light sheen of sweat on their beings. Isabel spoke, "Whew… thank goodness we took those gym courses back in high school.".
Lily added, "Yeah, and also those times at recess when we were younger and playing around all the time.". The duo regained themselves before continuing on, Shelia dropping to the floor as soon as they got a fair distance. The trio pushed forward, and came to another obstacle course. This time, a stone panel was up in front of them, and large stone columns in the chamber. On the stone panel was a diagram of the room, with a picture of a brown caterpillar on it. Isabel commented that it looked a bit like Mothra, which it actually was. Lily touched the picture, and the small caterpillar wiggled to life and started to crawl on the diagram.
The caterpillar started to go this way and that, following what seemed to be a pathway but one that required some turning and such. It soon reached the end on the panel… than vanished and went back to its original position. Lily exclaimed, "I think I figured it out! The caterpillar was following a path… a safe path that is safe to walk on when in this room to get to the other side! And if we run astray from the path…".
She took a pebble up from the ground, tossed to a spot on the ground that the caterpillar did not go on… and a section of the ground crumbled quickly and fell to what seemed an endless abyss!
I'm not running in circles!
I'm not losing my mind!
I gave my life to Jesus!
I'm not wasting my time!
I'm not wasting my time!
Good… he ain't wasting time!
The Molina and Vela ladies racked their brains to remember the pattern, thinking hard until it became clear in their heads. The two started down on the path they saw the Mothra caterpillar take, being careful to not make a misstep. Lily soon did, and a section that her foot stepped on gave way fast! Fortunately, her cousin grabbed her hand so did not tip into the dark abyss below. The two helped each other out in many ways, so they always had each other's back since they were family. In fifteen minutes, they managed to reach the end of the obstacle! Amazingly, the parts that did give way in their journey on the path fixed themselves right up so everything was whole again.
Lily stated, "I think that the path not only resets when one reaches the end, but also changes. That is only an assumption, but I think I am right on that.". And she was. The Célestin family and their allies who built the secret chamber did not mess around at all!
Once they made it to the end, they went through the door for their next challenge. Shelia dropped down once more, making a mental note to tell Xanatos and Mirage EVERYTHING that she witnessed so far. It would help to tell her employer & boss just what to expect when the time came to tell them about the secret passage & what it contained.
{Lord, I'm runnin'!
Gonna make a hundred!
Gonna make a hundred!
Ninety-nine and a half it won't do!
Ninety-night won't do!}
The next door showed a rather large statue of a teacup with eyes and a mouth. What the ladies did not know was that it was Mrs. Potts, the kind and motherly servant of the castle back when she was cursed to be a living teapot. Isabel asked her cousin on what they next move should be… the statue came to life & in the voice of Mrs. Potts! She stated, "Oh! Good day or night to you, worthy ones! My name is Mrs. Potts, and this is the Knowledge Room! If you wish to get through to the last obstacle, you will need to answer five out of ten questions from me. If you succeed, you move on ahead. If not… you will be sent back to the very entrance on the surface.".
This got the duo a little nervous since pop quizzes like this were not exactly their cup of tea, as it were. But… they steadied themselves, took a calming breath… and it was Lily who declared, "We accept your terms and challenge! Let's do this!".
The animated statue of Mrs. Potts smiled and soon started to spout off questions… ones that were related to the Monsters and Magic adventures that Isabel and Lily had been reading about the entire trip!
{Lord, I'm runnin'!
Lord, I'm runnin'!
Gonna be a winner!
Gonna be a winner!
With the Lord on my side…
I can't lose!}
G-G-G-G-G-Guitar!
Hit me! Hiya!
The duo passed the quiz with flying colors, very thankful to have read the tomes they had found so far on their vacation trip. They got two wrong, but they got the necessary amount of questions right. This prompted Mrs. Potts to congratulate them on a job well done, soon going back inert and the door behind her opening. Isabel and Lily high-fived each other before rushing through the door, Shelia using her incredible speed and agility to leap through before it shut.
The adventurers soon arrived at the very last chamber, another quiz room with a statue this time of Belle and an adult Kathrin! The two very detailed statues came to life, with Belle saying, "You have made it at the very end of the chambers, worthy ones. Now this is the final test. We shall truly test your knowledge on how much you know about our secret.".
Kathrin spoke, "The questions are now doubled, and you need to answer fifteen right in order to proceed. If you fail… not only will you be sent back, but also having your memories erased so you will not discover the secret a second time.". The humans gulped, now realizing that the stakes were higher and the questions no doubt harder. Belle spoke that she would start, and thus another intense quiz began!
~Instrument break~
T-T-T-Turned on, sold out, hooked on Jesus!
Turned on, sold out, hooked on Jesus!
Turned on, sold out, hooked on Jesus!
Turned on, sold out, hooked on Jesus!
Shego watched on as the ladies started to answer the questions put forth by both statues, the freelance adventurer hearing & realizing that indeed the questions were more difficult to solve. Not only that, a timer was now active! If they did not answer in ten seconds, the question would be invalid and a strike against the girls! Lily and Isabel answered as best they could, they did miss some the questions… but at the very end, they managed to get the number of right ones! Right down to the wire with both answering the question at the same time!
The door behind the statues shimmered and opened the way for the adventurous lasses. Belle spoke, "You have managed to clear the way. Congratulations! You have made it to the very end, and to the secret that awaits you.".
Kathrin spoke, "I believe that you have passed through not just through your own merit… but with the Lord Jesus Christ on your side. He was a big factor in our lives, and also on an adventure that surprised us still even when alive.".
Isabel grinned and said, "Well that's something we all agree on! Jesus did help us, every step of the way! Not just through this set of courses the family made, but throughout all of life! And that is why we're sticking with him, no matter what!". Lily agreed with her cousin on that assessment as well. The statues than gave a mysterious, knowing smile as if they heard and approved of their words. Their eyes went blank and they became inert once more.
Lily and Isabel looked at one another, gave a high-five clap before going through the door. Shelia followed them like before, but the green-skinned beauty was feeling proud that her targets had passed the test… and also showing their faith was strong as well.
{I can't stop runnin'!
I'm gonna make a hundred!
Gonna make a hundred!
Ninety-nine and a half… it just won't do!}
The girls climbed up a series of steps, one that actually led to be slightly below the basement area of the castle! When they reached their destination, they went through another door… and saw what they had hoped to see.
It was a circular chamber that had paintings of the royal family and their friends, done by hand and with extreme love, care and detail. Portraits of Léandre and Belle, before and after they got married. In addition with the servants that had helped the prince in the past, after the curse was lifted. Maurice and Belle together, the royal ones shortly after the birth of their son Mainard, the Bimbettes as well, the royal family at certain ages of Mainard, said prince with his lady love Kathrin… and finally portraits of the new Célestin family which was of Mainard and Kathrin as king & queen with their daughter Colette!
Lily spoke, "Wow… I mean… wow! This is amazing! And if this is just the royal family chamber, than…".
Isabel took over, "Then… the real chamber we're looking for is…". She found a door and opened it, going through to another circular chamber… this one much larger and filled with more stuff that grabbed their attention more!
{Lord, I'm runnin'!
Lord, I'm runnin'!
Gonna be a winner!
Winner!
With the Lord on my side…
I can't lose!}
The area had paintings of the royal family with the others they had met; from the fateful day they all came together to celebrate Melody's birthday & got embroiled in one of the biggest adventures of their lives, all the way to when they came together again with a lot more allies to help a princess named Sofia the First. Each painting done with precise detail, extreme love, care, pride and joy in a way that it would rival anything found in the national galleries all over the planet. Underneath the portraits was information about the various monsters from the other universe, and also hand-drawn pictures of said behemoths from the royal family.
They looked around in awe, taking out their cameras to take photographs and not to miss a single thing. And soon… they saw it. They found the tome that told the story from the Célestin point of view, and also a large spike that was truly enormous and long! It was covered in a magical shield, designed to both protect and preserve the gift that came from Anguirus. Lily breathed out, "We did it… we found another piece of lost history! Oh, this is amazing!". Isabel nodded, going to the book to open it up. However, she heard a beeping sound coming from her watch. She looked at it… and her eyes widened!
She exclaimed, "Oh my God! Look at the time! If we don't make it back to the town we're staying in, our folks are going to get suspicious! We need to get going!". She grabbed the book from the pedestal it was on, saying they would read it later after getting back to town. They looked over and spotted another door nearby which was the exit. They went to it, threw it open and walked up some stairs to get to the basement.
With the Lord on my side, I can't lose!
With the Lord on my side!
With the Lord on my side!
I got the Lord on my side!
Yeah! Hoo! Thank you!
~Instrument break~
Oh man… I'm getting too old for this.
Once the girls were gone, Shelia emerged from the other room. Like Miss Molina and Miss Vela, she too was impressed by the hidden art of the royal family. She made sure to take pictures for her superiors… but the real deal was the one the ladies just vacated from, going in to see something that really took her breath away. She looked at the paintings, the items locked in secure glass casings… and also the spike that she knew one would mistake for a giant lance's tip! She took pictures & recorded camera footage as well, getting every inch of everything in the room. When she took enough photos and camera footage that ended with Anguirus's tail spike, she noticed the pedestal empty.
She said to herself, "Hmmm… the girls must have took it. I guess they have another piece of the puzzle… but they left the real treasure behind.". She looked at the artifacts in the room, knowing full well that any gallery would pay millions for them… but also realizing that it would send shockwaves around the world like ripples in a pond. That a piece of lost history would be discovered, a small but essential piece that would create a lot of action in every single part of the world in many ways. Her boss Xanatos and Mirage knew this, and now she was starting to see more of the bigger picture like they did.
Shelia looked at the spike, still covered in the magical protection barrier and sent a small green fireball to it. The plasma ball hit the barrier, but said structure stood strong. It flashed a little, but did not fade at all. Miss Go realized that the ladies knew the way to release the spell, but didn't know it yet. The possibility/probability was there, until it was confirmed that it was only just that. She said to the spike, "So… Anguirus, was it? I bet you and I… heh, I bet we could have gotten along together if we met.".
The freelance beauty looked at the door where Isabel and Lily left from, seeing an indention on the door that looked to be in a shape of a crest. She than realized that the royal family could have gotten here easy without going through the traps and obstacles, but apparently a crest of some kind was needed since it would be a key. The door was locked from her side, so she could open it easy. If she tried to open it from the other side, it would be locked unless she had the key. Taking a picture of the crest indention as best she could, Shelia soon opened the door and walked out.
She had to report in and tell her superiors on what she discovered!
The screens than faded to black, the Monsters and Magic insignia showing said screens with the lights coming back on in the House of Mouse. The audience cheered loudly, showing their appreciation of the music video that just ended now. Many beings clapped/hollered/cheered/howled in a positive manner all over the place! Coming back to the podium on the stage was Tigger and Rose, the stuffed bundle of energy and fluff leaping into the Author's arms and giving her a hug. The duo shared a friendly moment with one another before Rose put her friend down, getting the microphone from the podium as Tigger did the same.
She called out, "Now that is what I call one unique music video! Let's give it up one more time for the stars of said show! Isabel Molina, Lily Vela and Shelia Go, rise on up and take a bow!". Said characters stood up, the spotlight on them once more. The two OC's based on DJ's nieces waved to everyone, smiles on their faces as they enjoyed being in the limelight.
Shelia also waved to everyone, glad to be on the receiving end of praise in a positive way rather than a negative one. Her beau Arthur Caractacus was holding her left hand, saying that he was very proud of her in being in the music video. She blushed in a way that looked quite cute on her, giving him a quick kiss on the lips that had many beings clapping more to see such a wonderful sight.
The patrons gave the trio more applause and praise before things quieted down, their attention focused back on Rose and Tigger. Said Author spoke, "And now… here it is! The last music video for the evening! The fifteenth and final Disney/Toho music video!". Everyone cheered once more, very pleased to be at the finale. Oh, make no mistake they enjoyed the event immensely. But they were a bit eager to get to the finale, vote for the winners and soon head home with their families/friends/loved ones since it was a bit late now.
Tigger exclaimed, "This music video is done by Barbossa, the blue crab that is the musical successor to Sebastian the crab! He was featured in Monsters and Magic: Burning Finale!".
The spotlight turned to said crab who was with his fellow denizens from Atlantica, rising up and taking his bows from the audience who clapped politely for the small blue crustacean. Rose stated, "The music video is done in the Fantasia style & is called Barbossa's Grand Concert. It features the songs Godzilla's Medley and Mothra's Song which are very famous in the Toho universe. It features a mixture of both the Toho monsters that have appeared in the Monsters and Magic series and the ones that are featured in the Legendary-versions like 2014's Godzilla and 2019 Godzilla: King of the Monsters".
This got everyone's attention as they wondered what Barbossa had created.
Tigger exclaimed, "So… let's get this video rolling! Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!". He put the microphone back on the podium before bouncing back to his seat, Rose doing the same as she went back to her table. The lights dimmed down once again as the various monitors went black.
A blue glow soon came on the black field, in the classic way that was done back in the Disney 1940 animated film Fantasia. A small series of steps was shown, and scuttling onto the platform was Barbossa the blue crab. Even though only his shadow appeared, everyone could see that he was facing the direction of the audience. Below was an entire orchestra set, truly setting the stage in a classic way. He announced, "Ahem… good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Boys and girls of all ages. I hope you enjoy what I have brought up. Like my mentor Sebastian the legendary musical composer and conductor, I have taken many strides to make sure this work here is a masterpiece. One befitting for my teacher and friend.".
He continued on, "This features the songs from Toho, legendary in their own right and famously known all over the various realms/universes/dimensions/worlds. A montage of sort to the titans who have brought to many a kind of quality entertainment you cannot find anywhere else. And also… for the behemoths that we here in the Disney universe gladly call friends. Now… sit back and enjoy the show. Thank you for your patronage and patience.".
He then turned around, a long baton in hand as he looked down at the musicians that would be playing the music. He tapped the ground with it, getting the players all ready to begin their piece. He raised it in the air… and soon started the music!
First was Godzilla's Medley, the powerful notes coming forth in an ominous way that was truly strong and powerful… just like the King of the Monsters himself!
The blue field color around Barbossa vanished, and on the screen came the footage of the first Godzilla that appeared in 1954! The black-and-white legend was shown as he emerged from behind a hill on Odo Island, roaring loudly. The scene than transisted to show him in Japan, using his fiery breath to decimate the heart of Tokyo itself! As the music continued on, the scene changed to show Godzilla battling it out against his back-then mortal enemy Anguirus from Godzilla Raids Again. It soon changed to show the first appearance of Rodan the massive mutated pteranodon, than to Mothra as the music started to pick up the pace a little. It showed both her caterpillar and moth form, the last form emerging from a burnt cocoon.
The screen changed yet again to show the first Monsters and Magic novel; the royal ships guests coming in from other lands to celebrate Melody's 13th birthday, the eight Toho legends being picked up from their universe to be deposited in the Disney world, the meeting between Godzilla and his the others with their bonded, the meeting of the original Disney classic women with Godzilla and company… and the battle that came between the forces of Good and Evil, between the Disney families and Maleficent with their Toho bonded back at full strength and size!
It then switched over to show the first appearance of Jet Jaguar, both in human and monster-size! Than the first time King Caesar appeared, erupting from his long nap from within the mountain. And after the furry beast was the appearance of Space Godzilla, in both her Flying and Land-form. As the music picked up yet again, the clips showed the scenes from Monsters and Magic: Divide and Unite.
The clips showed this in order; Hans finding and using the Omni-Elemental Crystals to summon the Master Crystal, the six Toho legends once again taken from their realm to the Disney universe and soon scattered about, where each kaiju met their bonded Disney beings, what happened in each kingdom such as Godzilla showing himself to Anna and the others to save them from a Rock Wyrm… and finally to all of them gathering at Copenhagen to battle against Hans's forces!
When the music changed to the theme that usually meant for the Japanese Self-Defense Force/G-Force to come onto the field, the clips changed to show what occurred in Monsters and Magic: Burning Finale! It showed the appearance of Burning Godzilla, his bonded from the previous stories going to the Toho universe & changing to be follow the laws of said universe in the physical way, said bonded enjoying what Tokyo had to offer, finding & trying to help Burning Godzilla… and to the part where they battled against the Crimson Katana and their leader Lady Momoko!
The clips changed as the music continued onward; showing the appearance of the many forms of Destroyah, the battle between Juvenile-form and the Disney heroines, the battle between Godzilla Junior & Aggregate-form Destroyah with Junior's receiving help from some surprising allies… and also the death of Godzilla Junior by the claws of Final-form Destroyah. It than showed the intense finale battle between Destroyah and the forces of Good, the appearance of Empress Athena & Mega Marshmallow, Heaven opening up to help the forces of Good… and the appearance of the most powerful form of Godzilla… Hikari Godzilla!
The music of Godzilla's Medley was near its conclusion when it showed how the battle ended when Empress Athena and Mega Marshmallow RIPPED the wings off Destroyah… and said beast was obliterated down to his very DNA by the Pristine Breath from Hikari Godzilla! The song than ceased… and changed to play Mothra's Song. But this version was from the 2019 version!
As the music played, the clips continued. It showed the melting and death of Heisei-era Godzilla… and the revival of his son who would become the Millennium-era Godzilla! And the clips transisted to show the Disney characters returning back home, with Lady Momoko in tow as their prisoner. And soon showed the part where all of the Disney characters came to pay their respects for their fallen Toho friends… with Jesus Christ himself appearing, and showing them Godzilla, Mothra and Rodan becoming constellations in the heavens in the Disney world!
The clips soon changed to show the appearance of 2014 Godzilla, who showed up at the airport in Hawaii. It than showed the battle between him and the male & female MUTO's! As the song continued, it showed the appearance of King Ghidorah from the 2019 movie… and the appearance of a changed Godzilla who had different dorsal spines now! The clips than showed the appearance of Mothra in her caterpillar form, than in her golden form as she pointed the way to where Godzilla was at after he got hit by the Oxygen Destroyer bomb. And finally, it showed the clips of Mothra in her visible adult form coming to help Godzilla against King Ghidorah!
As the song played on, it showed the clips on what happened in Monsters and Magic Special: Sofia's Imagination. The film showed when Sofia the First of Enchancia first learned about Godzilla and his companions, to when her parents and siblings were kidnapped by Cosmina, to the Amulet of Avalor summoning everyone from the previous films to help her out… and finally to Josiah the Arch-angel appearing, followed by the Toho legendary ones who had bonded to the others in the previous stories with Heisei-era Godzilla bonding to Sofia now!
As the melodious and mysterious song continued, the clips played on. It showed Sofia's first real battle against Cosmina's minions, her capture by said sorceress, her escape thanks to Jesus Christ himself who freed her & her family from the cells, freeing Godzilla and the others from Cosmina's own imprisonment… to finally the battle between the sorceress forces and the forces of Good that were led by the Enchancia Royal Family!
The music was reaching its climatic peak when the clips changed once more. It showed Sofia going in and battling against Cosmina herself, said princess soon getting encouragement and help from Godzilla & the others in spirit, to the fall and forgiveness of the sorceress before she died & finally to where Godzilla and the others made their appearance to the whole kingdom of Enchancia! It also displayed for all the party that the Toho titans attended, especially the part where Godzilla was used as a play area for the curious little ones.
When the clip showed the time when the monsters had to go back to their respective places, Godzilla was shown to take a tooth from his own maw and gave it to Sofia… which said tooth got absorbed into the magical amulet, now on display for all to see. The clip than showed Mirage finding the secret entrance that led her to finding a hidden chamber that contained artifacts, items, paintings of what took place back than… and also the tome that contained the story.
When the music was reaching its closing part, the screen changed to show only the book on the black screen. It than was joined by the other tomes that Lily and Isabel found at the epilogues of each of the main novels, all on display for all to see. It lasted for a while until they all spun quickly until they were blurs… soon combining into one! The fusion created a golden light that illuminated the black background… and from the light came the insignia of Monsters and Magic; the Mickey Mouse head and ears with the Toho kanji symbol inside of it!
The song ended, and the insignia also vanished slowly into the blackness.
The lights came up again, the screens displaying the insignia once more. The whole crowd went wild, causing the roof to almost be blown off its top! A vast majority of beings clapped/cheered/hollered/howled and more in a very positive way to the music video created by Barbossa! The blue crab rose on the table he was sitting on, the spotlight on him as he was smiling proudly and taking his bows. Nearby, Sebastian the crab smiled as well and stated, "Now dat is my apprentice there! Though I suppose that now, I consider him my equal in the art of composition.". He was like a proud master who had seen his student rise from mere apprentice… to an equal of a master himself.
Soon, Tigger and Rose came back on the stage & they looked pretty pumped up from the music video! Taking the microphones from the podium, the Author exclaimed, "WHOO! Now that was one awesome music video, classically done in a modern way! Come on everyone, let's hear it for Barbossa and his musical montage that he created for us this night!".
The various patrons cheered once again for the small blue crab, who took more bows and soaked in the praise from everyone in the dinner theater club. It lasted for some time before the crowd started to gradually settle down.
Tigger announced, "Now that was one powerful music video there, buddy boy! You sure got the stuff, just like Sebastian! You are going to be one famous composer in no time down under the sea, little guy!". Many agreed with the assessment on that, especially Barbossa himself.
Mickey and Minnie than joined the duo on stage, microphones of their own with them. Mickey exclaimed, "And that folks is the final music video for the evening! And now, it's time for you all to vote for your favorite! Minnie, care to do the honors?".
Said lovely mouse giggled and replied, "Sure thing Mickey! Now than, all of you will be given a poll slip that has your names on them…". As soon as she mentioned that, magically materializing in front of each guest at their table was a piece of paper that had their names on the top. Below were boxes & beside each box was the name of the music video that had been shown just now at the event.
Minnie continued, "Check off with either a check mark or X in the box beside the name of the music video that has appeared tonight. That will count as your vote for said video. If you change your mind, just say Erase and the mark will vanish. But once you made your decision and want to stick to it, say Done and the paper will be sent to a machine that will tally the votes up.".
Mickey than stated, "And for you out there watching on your screens and want to vote as well, just call in at this number to put in your votes. Remember, only one vote per household and cell/smart phone number. The following attendant on the line will give you instructions on how to properly put in your vote. And for those who use the Internet, go to the House of Mouse website and go to the polls now shown there. Just remember, it will be one vote per computer as well. So all of you choose wisely!".
For the many viewers watching in the megaverse & multiverse, they saw the toll-free number showing with simple instructions on what to do after they called. Many went to their phones, be they telephone or cell/smart phone to call and put in their votes. Those who liked to surf the Internet went to the website, clicked on the link to the polls and started to decide which music video they liked.
Minnie than announced, "The voting will cease at 11:30 p.m., our time here in California. So when the time comes, the polls will close and the votes tallied. When 11:45 p.m. comes, the winners will be announced… along with a very special guest who will be coming to really see the club end on a good note! Who it is? Well… you'll have to wait and see!". The time was now 10:50 p.m., which gave everyone about 40 minutes to vote!
Her main mouse than stated, "Now than everyone, cast in your votes and enjoy the remaining time here in the House of Mouse! We'll be back real soon!". The video cameras top lights than turned off, signaling that the commercials were rolling and also the advertisement to vote via either by telephone or website was still showing.
Everyone in the club started to pick out their favorite music videos to see, the energy and noise in the dinner theater club enough to keep everyone awake. The Muppet band Electric Mayhem came back on stage, playing another Christmas song that had their own rocking rhythm & beat!
While the various guests voted, some left the area to get some space for themselves. Two of them was Samantha Manson & Jenna, the jealous ladies looking over to see their crushes dance with other girls. In the case of Sam, seeing Danny dancing with Desiree again got her seeing red. And with Jenna, seeing Duncan once again dancing with Clawdeen Wolf. The gothic girl from Amity Park growled out, "It's not fair! Danny gets to dance with all those… those… bimbos while I have to sit through this disgustingly bright and festive place!".
Jenna spoke, "I hear you on that sister! Seeing my Duncan dance with that fleabag fashionista… grrrr! I just want to punch her lights out!".
A voice spoke out, "You ain't the only ones with dating problems, sister!". The duo turned to see that coming their way was the Kanker Sisters, Marie the most ticked off of the siblings. She proclaimed that she wanted Double D all to herself, but she kept getting showed up by the blonde Nazz cheerleader.
Sam put in, "Why is it that the guys always fall for cheerleaders?! Can't they see right through that shallow façade?!". She was referring to Star and Paulina, who were the top cheerleaders at Casper High School.
A mysterious female voice came forth from the darkness, "Well, well, well. What have we here? Some disgruntled females that wish to change things?". The ladies turned to the darkness where the voice came from… and it was revealed to be Hecate, the Greek goddess of magic that appeared in Disney's 1998 animated series Hercules! And with her were various other villains/villainesses from around the club! While not quite EVERY villain/villainess in the House of Mouse, it was still an impressive number.
Jenna spoke, "Who the heck are you supposed to be?".
Hecate smirked wickedly and answered, "Hecate, Greek goddess of magic and witchcraft. Ladies, I have a little… proposition for you.".
Sam looked wary and inquired, "What kind of… proposition exactly?".
The blue being that loved to cause Hades trouble stated, "I have a little… surprise cooked up for this place. For some beings from some of the other realms are to come here and… heh, crash the party, so to speak. They'll be here at precisely midnight, and they will come to take down this place once and for all! You see, a great amount of jealousy and hatred is aimed here from those in the other realms like from Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. A good number of characters have grown jealous that this place has become so popular, and so they want to see it get destroyed.".
This caused the girls to be curious on who would want the House of Mouse to be destroyed, and what was in it for them. Hecate saw their inquiries in their heads, smirking as the trap was set… all she needed was the right amount of bait to really lure them in. She said, "Here is the proposition. You help us to take down the defenses that shield this place, to take down the security system that Author LORD DESTRYUK made. And the others will see to the rest. Once this place is down… you can have anything your heart desires. And I do mean ANYTHING.".
The girls looked at one another, than looking back to the ones they had crushes on. Jenna to Duncan, Sam to Danny, and Marie to Edd. They looked at them, aching to be the #1 in their hearts. The group than looked to Hecate, who had her hand extended. "So… do we have a deal?".
The ladies were nervous about this proposal very much… but they sadly felt that this was the only solution to have what they want. Sam went first, putting her hand on top of Hecate. Said appendage then burst into blue flames… but Samantha did not feel any pain at all. Marie was the next one, followed by her sisters who supported her. The last one was Jenna, who was hesitant about it all… but she swallowed her fear and conscience down, soon being the last one to put her hand on top of the others.
Hecate had such a wicked smile on, it actually unnerved the ladies very much. She spoke, "And so the deal is made… and thus the plan is now in motion.". Little did they know that one of the Destroians was watching them, LORD DESTRYUK's own personal spymaster Shadowza, had witnessed and heard the entire thing.
Look out House of Mouse! Trouble is ready brewing big time!
(Author's Notes: And… cut! Whew! Oh man, this was one heck of a chapter to write! Whoo!
Before I say or do anything else, I want to give praise and thanks to the Lord! Thank you God for helping me out with this chapter all the way! Thank you Lord for being there for me, and also helping me not just with my stories but with my life as well. Jesus, I really hope to do my best for you in all ways! And I hope that you continue to guide me, direct me and give me more opportunities to grow with you and the Father! Thank you Lord for being with my friend, my family and me! Thank you!
Now this is the end of the music videos… but not the end of the story itself! More is to come, and with Hecate now bringing both inside and outside help to take down the dinner theater club… oh, you better believe that action and adventure are going to be kicking in high gear soon!
Also, how did you like the OC I made to be Shego's/Shelia's date and boyfriend? I racked my brain very much to come up with someone suitable for her, and also one that would be able to negate her comet plasma powers. I did my best, as I did with the beau that Kim Possible is with as well.
The last music video really stumped my brain, as I tried to come up with any song to be turned into a music video. But sadly, all I ended up were blanks in my noggin. However, the Lord helped me when he reminded me of the movie Fantasia and also how certain music videos shown on YouTube are done without the need for lyrics and the like. Just the musical score itself. So… I took a leap of faith, and thus Barbossa's Grand Concert was created!
Also, for the various tests that Lily and Isabel went through, I actually remembered similar obstacles in my old Super NES game Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. They appeared when at Bowser's Castle, you have to go through four of six doors. And there are three kinds of challenges behind two doors; Physical, Quiz and Puzzle related. It was that particular memory where I got my ideas for the courses the ladies went through.
I have put a poll up in my Profile Bio page here at this site, just look at the very top of the page to find it. Vote and also get others to vote as well! The poll will close at December 27th, so be sure to vote!
Also this: I really want my work to inspire others to write their own Disney/Toho creations, so if you want to use the music videos shown here to make a story of your own, than go for it!
Now for the questions! Ahem…
Who would you like to have to watch over the sleeping little ones on the 2nd floor, and why?
What would you be doing during the commercial break before the event got started again?
During Show Me The Light song, what would you or the characters you like be doing? And what do you think American Idol judges would say about the performer's performance?
In Stayin' Together music video, what kind of advice would you give to the family in maintaining their relationship to the kaiju? And also what kind of advice would you give to Zilla in being an uncle?
In Turned On, Sold Out, Hooked on Jesus music video, what kind of obstacles would you like to put in for Isabel and Lily to figure out? And also, what do you think the design of the tome should be?
In Barbossa's Grand Concert, which was your favorite part during Godzilla's Medley? And your favorite part during Mothra's Song?
And finally this… what would you be doing during the commercials? And also, what do you think of the alliance that Sam and the other ladies have just joined in that is being led by Hecate?
And here is an optional bonus question: Who do you think Hecate has called forth from the other two realms to come & try to demolish the House of Mouse dinner theater club?
R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave LONG reviews!)
