The wicked plan of the Evil Empire had come to fruition as armies of Shadow Goblins, each one lead by a respective villain, invaded a separate kingdom. Citizens of the kingdoms fled in fear and panic as the dark monsters broke into their homes, ate their food, one of them even tried on a woman's makeup for some reason. From Corona, to Agrabah, to Atlantica. In Dun Brough, the controlled Fergus led the charge and claimed the Scottish kingdom in the name of the Evil Empire. Ursula took over the throne of Atlantica, Jafar laid claim to Agrabah, Grimhilde took back her old castle along with Ferdinand's, Ratcliff got the Indian village and Jamestown; much to the wetted pants of King James, Shan Yu took control of China, Tremaine, the Castle of Dreams, Gaston took the Beast's castle, Facilier got New Orleans, Gothel took over Corona, and of course, Maleficent along with Golett took over the Enchanted Dominion.
In only a couple of hours, the Evil Empire had asserted its dominance over most of the Magic Kingdom.
Meanwhile, the parents and husbands of the princesses were thrown together in a dungeons in Maleficent's castle. Of all of them, Elinor was the most distraught. Her husband was under mind control and she had no idea where her daughter was.
The feeling was mutual amongst the other parents and husbands. They had general concern for Snow White, Cinderella, and the others. But there were those who had their faith and prayed for their safety.
Indeed, it looked as though the kingdoms and soon, the Magic Kingdom would fall to the awesome power of Golett and the Evil Empire. The only ones who could put a stop to them were the princesses. Only they could find the crystal septors and arise to become the greatest heroes the world has ever known.
As the princesses traveled across the waters, with the guidance of Feemer, Aurora puked on the left side of the boat, for she had gotten extremely seasick.
Meanwhile, Merida looked out to the sea, weary and somewhat sad.
Rapunzel noticed and walked over to her, putting a hand on her shoulder. "You OK?" she asked.
"I just don't know what could've happened to Dad. He just seemed so...different...he was wild and uncontrollable. Swinging his sword around like a madman-OK, well he's kinda like that most of the time, but this time...he seemed more vicious and bloodthirsty, like his family didn't even exist to him," Merida said. "And now he's got my mother."
"He must be under a spell or something," said Rapunzel. "I'm worried about my parents too. We're all worried."
It was true. From the moment, they left, all the princesses could think about was their loved ones being captured. And it wouldn't get any better considering the long journey they had to take. Every week, every day, every minute, every second, would feel like an eternity to them, knowing what horrible things could be done to the ones they cared about the most.
Cinderella saw Rapunzel trying to comfort Merida. She herself realized the situation was most dire, but then she remembered she was in an almost identical situation when her stepmother stole Fairy Godmother's wand. She then walked over to Rapunzel and Merida.
"But don't worry, Merida, we'll be just fine," Cinderella said with assurance.
Just then, Ariel walked over. "Yeah, all we have to do is find the crystal septors and beat we'll beat the Evil Empire," she said.
Tiana was next to come over. "It's not that simple. Even with Feemer's help, it'll take us days to or even weeks to find them all. And even if we find them all, who's to say that we can even beat the Evil Empire, especially with that monster?!" she exclaimed.
"Are you forgetting that everything and everyone we care about is in danger?" said Ariel.
"I know, but I'm just being realistic," said Tiana.
"Sounds to me like you don't care," said Merida.
"Don't say that, don't ever say that!" said Tiana.
"Well why shouldn't I?!" Merida retorted.
Cinderella saw that the argument was starting to reach its boiling point, but she was unaware of what exactly to say or do. Luckily, Belle and Pocahontas were there to step in.
"Girls, stop arguing!" Belle shouted.
"I do not know if we are the chosen ones or not, but what I do know is right now, we are the best hope for our futures and others," said Pocahontas.
Truth to say, every one of the princesses were indifferent about the whole affair, even the ones who didn't want to admit it such as Merida.
"And these are the chosen ones..." Feemer said wearily.
Just then, the good fairies approached the princesses.
"Girls, please!" Merryweather shouted.
"We know you have what it takes," said Fauna.
"We knew it before you were even born," said Flora.
The princesses looked at each other confused.
"What do you mean?" asked Belle.
"Well, long ago, when Princess Tabitha was very young, she wondered off into a far away cavern," said Flora.
"We of course followed her," said Fauna.
"But before we brought her back home, we all noticed, the princess included, strange paintings on the cavern walls," said Merryweather.
"After we got a closer look, we saw that the paintings resembled princesses, eleven of them, and a dark creature fighting against each other. The princesses told her parents about what she saw and they assumed that they must have been made by some kids in the kingdom, but we assured them that the drawings were to detailed to be made by simply kids. For years, no other talk was made about the cave drawings, but we and the princess never forgot what we saw. So when Golett attacked, Tabitha realized it was the same creature drawn on the wall. And even though she herself had defeated him, she knew that Golett would one day return and if he did, only the eleven chosen princesses would be able to stop him," said Flora.
"And that's why she created the crystal septors...so that WE could find them?" Belle asked.
"Yes, dear. And that is why we picked you to go out and find them," said Fauna.
Now it was no secret that each of the princesses were special in their own way, they could not have predicted in their wildest dreams that they would be the ones meant to put a stop to an ancient evil from long ago.
"Are you sure it wasn't because you didn't have time to find someone else?" Feemer said with a giggle.
The princesses all glared at him.
Just then, Tiana walked over, grabbed Feemer, and started walking over to port side. "Hey girls, I wonder...what chance do you think we might have of finding the septors if we say...look for them ourselves?" she asked the other princesses.
"Hmmm...well given that there over a hundred islands on Alatar..." said Merida.
"And we have a limited amount of time..." said Rapunzel.
"And we are facing off against a very powerful foe..." said Snow White.
"And that there are...1...2...3...eleven of them..." said Mulan.
"And that they are the only means to defeating Golett," said Cinderella.
"And we are the only ones who can unlock their power..." said Aurora.
"And the fact that we are so incompetent..." said Belle.
"I'd say...pretty good," said Ariel.
"Hmmm, so I guess that means we probably won't need old Feem here, right?" Tiana asked.
The other princesses gave it a thought. "...not really!" they all said.
"OK then," Tiana said.
Quickly after she finished her last word, she appeared to throw Feemer overboard. Feemer screamed in fear, however, Tiana faked throwing him overboard by throwing her hand forward and then up throwing Feemer up in the air. She then caught him in her hands and tossed him over to Rapunzel.
"I say, put me down this instant!" Feemer exclaimed.
But instead, Rapunzel rolled him on her arms before throwing him to Merida who tossed him underneath her legs over to Snow White who quickly tossed him over to Mulan who bounced him off of her left foot before attempting to toss him over to Ariel.
However, Flora intercepted the magical stone in midair.
"And women have the nerve to call us men immature..." Feemer said.
The princesses all laughed, but soon their laughter was cut short as the ship was now approaching a massive and strangely purple colored fog. As the ship moved closer, an air of silence befell it as the princesses, with both intrigue and uncertainty, observed the fog that had an eerie feel to it. What felt like a cold chill began to run down their spines. As hard as they tried, they couldn't see anything past the fog. It was as if one was going straight into the heart of an abyss; a dark, farboding, mysterious area where nothing was known.
Even the good fairies were nervous for they had seen the fog before.
"Be prepared, girls," said Flora. "We're now approaching the Realm of Alatar.
The princesses hearts beat faster and faster as the ship began to become engulfed in the eerie fog. Beyond the mystifying confines of the purple smoke lied the greatest series of challenges they would ever face in their lives and now with the notion that they were indeed the chosen princesses, they knew that there was no room for error. They knew that once out of the fog, it would be the time to establish themselves not as princesses, but as heroes.
