Alright folks, now we have the last chapter that is selected as your top pick from previous poll votes. A New poll has been made for sometime and now has 100 possible choices. The list will be added below just to give some ideas as this chapter will close on their separation and the next will explore more on their adventures in Infinity Train. I have to say when trying to watch the movie Cats Don't Dance, its very hard to find without buying or renting. But have manage to come up with something.
P.S. sorry for being late, this took longer then expected. Hopefully towards the future I don't have this problem too often.
New poll choices: By the time I write this the voting could have change or stayed the same. So any recent change just as you receive this update will happen. This has occurred when Quest for Camelot was outvoted by other votes. Inconvenient yes, but these changes happen. You be wondering then how many movies will be added, that depends on the movie. The others like Cartoons, Video Games, and Anime/Manga will be treated the same.
Voted for next time(Currently Tied):
Madagascar - 1
James and the Giant Peach 1
How to Train your Dragon 1
The Secret Life of Pets 1
Unvoted list: I'm trying to be more open minded, that and sometimes those I have seen been long time since last watch. If you don't know any of them, review or PM Me any top 5 movies of your choice in order. This helps because I like to hear everyone out and be fun with these chapters. Once we get into more serious chapters that fun times will be almost long gone. The lost below is not necessary in that order, but will give you enough options to consider. Also any of them place here a second time can be revote once more since I didn't get to do it that time. I may not always know stuff, but with this story I like to explore things. The limitations is anything dark and grim I know of that series. Yes I know dark stuff just certain ones, which is why if voted it's hit and miss for both sides.

Seek God while he can be found
Now what this means when seek God while he can be found is not some weird idea of God will die or you won't find him when he leaves. This is more so that God is already in arms length and can be seen at any given point. But that does mean there is a time limit, but it's not on God but ourselves. Meaning when we die is not our decisions, how our life is lived is our choice, yet never controlled. Our deathbed as term goes can happen at random or when we least desire it. We don't the grandiose way of living or dying because that's how we imagine it, but more so make use of what time we do have now. Yes this is common lesson everyone learns, but have you considered that anyone that isn't follower of Christ is a bomb waiting to blow up(Dead) and their souls are damned for all eternity? That's something many of us both Non-Christians and Christians need to consider.
Think of this as if someone that is a 12 year old boy, young and naive with some history of his troublemaking deeds. But always wants to have fun and isn't scolded or discipline too much. At heart he's a good boy and has much to learn, his parents are religious(Term) as most in his neighborhood. But one day gets runover by some random driver not willing to pay attention in front of him and had his cellphone at his face. This sadden everyone and they have a funeral for his death, wishing he had a fulfilling life. But in the afterlife, the boy is sent to hell for not just the deeds he done wrong, but for not having God in his life or seeking Christ in his short life. While the boy could say he is good, most likely he be told being good person isn't good enough.
That's a horrible story for anyone to hear, but that's the truth we live in everyday life, everyday thousands die and are newly born to this world. Out of the thousand you can consider that only small portion of 1/10th are saved by Christ, yet the rest go to hell without second thought. Folks there is nothing wrong with using the time we have now and start living our lives. But if you have no savior like Christ in your life or you know someone that is short on time and wasn't a Christian, use this time to help introduce God into their life. They will reject at first or maybe forever, but you can at least spread the good news and pray they can be saved since you introduce God into their lives. We truly have a limited time as death can happen when you don't want it.
All of us will be judge through our life and how we used the time we have to live as followers of Christ, don't waste your time keeping the good news to yourself or to reject God when given the time to hear them. Seek God when he can be found, while death is one way we have a time limit, another is when the world will end. From Book of Revelations we have short time, and it can happen when you least expected even if your prepared. What free time you have now, make good time for God and what is ahead for you.
Traveler's Journey
Arc 2 - The Impossible Quest
Ch. 18 - Stars aren't born, they are made
Disney Castle - Bluto and Pete
To say that good guys always win and bad guys lose is the common theme of anyone doing show biz and stuff. But to say bad guys win and good guys are given nothing in return, that is injustice itself but many would argue that's reality. But force the two side of fiction and reality into bad guys winning and good guys given crap, that's the dark storms of life.
Currently they are redecorating the castle from top to bottom. What they have no is currently a castle more design with still bright colors, but more favorable to the design of these cartoon villains. The Castle now looks like darken purple with black replacing the white and blue on the outside. The Courtyard that filled with people to admire or look around has been change into some Green Maze as security measure for unexpected intruders trying to sneak through the courtyard. The inner castle has many hallways with signs posted so that no one gets lost, filled with gray stone and scarlet rugs to walk around. They now have a dungeon for people that try to defy them or arrested.
The Hallways are filled to the brim of weasels that are led by Beegle Boys each different from the last. The sky are now darken filled with air pirates, given supplies to them through gummi Blocks, now converting the gummi Hanger into their own air force, led by the most fearsome raider of the sky Don Karnage. The Library is now place for the smart bunch or nerds as they call them. Many evil Genius such as the Phantom Blot are gathered from the light towns to the darker towns of classic cartoons old and brand new. Overall Pete and Bluto have been busy, now replacing the symbol that reminds them of Mickey into multiple symbols from each of them, while the main one appears to have two swords at the front and a castle behind it. This is the united symbol calling themselves "The Evil Gang"... generic yes, but it makes the point across they are an organization that can be hired by anyone.
"Wow, we're really going through with this plan huh Bluto?" Pete asked his partner in crime, the two are overseeing the construction. At least when they are around as some have trust issues and are trying to hide some secrets for themselves.
"Yes we are, at many times serving every boss and criminal underworld, I don't have to take orders from no one. If you think this is impressive, wait until we gather every villain from the classic era into this location. Every cartoons villain and Video Game villains will join us and our power will be unmatched. Surprisingly Mickey and Company have tried to stop us, which is still good either way." Bluto chuckle, but Peter didn't seem convince. Sure he isn't all that evil, but he wasn't all that dumb as well. Pete does understand some things, but that doesn't mean he can't do something bad if he choses. While in show biz he has been in many roles and good relationship with Mickey and company, but alas the reputation can ruin one's imagine and look. Pete's reputation as some bully and petty bad guy never left him, but worse he could be considered forgotten thanks to the growing ages.
"Hey Bluto, can I ask you something?" Bluto stop to look at his trusted comrade among the group. Yes Bluto would use Pete and have him be distraction for his goals, but there was no hard feelings about it. Yet deep down he does trust Pete, considers him most closes friend when others have gone and left. No one born is meant to be alone, as there is some special bond between two people you trusted most compare to others, even lovers can be conquered by the trust and bonds of two people who have deep respect and love for their close friend or family member.
"What is it?" Bluto bluntly asked, wanting to get this out instead of dancing around the point.
"...Okay, you know how since our show biz times we had to make due with what we got. And in over the years we have, I will admit the things we have been doing in this modern times has some... oh who am I kidding there has been so many dark things in the world it's just overwhelming, and as fellow cartoons we try to avoid doing something that goes against our code rather we know it or not. I guess what I'm asking is, why are we trying to gain more power then necessary. I mean we have our own friends even if they aren't the greatest. But you see what I'm getting at? If your tried of being boss around, then we can try and have something more peaceful instead of all this." Pete made his point by showing their newly built castle, even taking a double take the towns would then be converted thanks to Pete's power over the heartless. The cartoons under rule of former Disney Castle tried to rebel or stand up. But the heartless fix that by sending them into prison, even some from other similar worlds like Toon Town and others are starting to fight them. Pete made sure that the heartless only capture them, not take their hearts. As much as he enjoys being evil, there are limits to his own cruelty.
"Pete my friend, I get what you mean when you say is this really necessary. Remember the simpler times when our show biz made some classic tropes about bad guys and how they didn't involve taking over the world?" Bluto asked while placing his hand over Pete's shoulder.
"(Sigh) Yeah, good old days. Being a bad guys wasn't to be taken seriously because the world still had that simple outlook in life. The people were more nicer, many help others, and our shows had us doing things that are fun and comedic. Even after our time was done I admire the ones that came after us, Dick Dastardly. There was a guy who kept the tropes and classic going." Pete said smiling as he thought back to watching his work.
"I know, but those aren't enough anymore." Bluto stated, shaking Pete out of his thoughts and confused by what Bluto meant.
"You probably don't understand, but as cartoon characters you must have realize even if we somehow go our separate ways and try to live an easy life, our character demands we partake in these activities even if they are evil." Bluto stop to make sure Pete got the message, he nodded in agreement as he himself can't help himself at times. Like he wanted to do something bad, yet doesn't know how to safety do this without harming others. Guess in some ways Pete understood why, and yet this makes him wonder what Bluto's point.
"Now your wonder what's my point?" Bluto knows Pete too well to not have to asked or speak about it, "Do you remember when we were bad guys and sometimes we become the made antagonist or villains. Tell me how much of an impact did we make over the years or how much do our audience remembers us from them." Pete had no answer, which was the point, "I know this seems much on the grand scheme. But think of the times, once we used to have the world in our finger tips. Crowds having fun, laughing to the jokes, cheers for the heroes beating us up. Yet as much good times they were, the newest generation has darken. The villains are much more sinister then before, even worse they were once good people turned bad by the world around them. Guys like us are jokes in mockery, we're nothing more then common criminals, meant to be beat up by heroes that are more popular then us."
"It's not all that bad." Pete tried to point out.
"Have you considered yourself when you will disappear?" Bluto asked something that many classics of cartoons and villains will never discuss.
"I know I have, and that starts when my life has no meaning outside of what I used to be and how I could have been. But the current stuff has change things around, we can't be the same as we were back then. Even more look around not just this town, not the castle, but the stars. Worlds upon worlds, galaxy upon galaxy, universe upon universe. We must live big and actually do some s**t to make people respect us. No longer can we entertain our audience, now they entertain us. For too long me and you have been pushed around, too long we have to take orders from others. I am sick and tired of those imbeciles thinking we just dirt to them. I did some bad things, and yet you push me down because I wasn't like you or better then you?!" Bluto didn't realize he was shouting his anger at random direction, but calm himself down as he continued while everyone did their best to ignore them.
"You see Pete, we can't go back, and we can't go small. If we're to finally be more then all this we obtain, you got to do better then you have ever done before. That is why we need this, to forever entertain our growing power. To finally be ones order them around and have to punish them when they make mistake." Bluto then place both hands on Pete's shoulders and facing him to say, "Pete my friend, we have to adapt. We have to strive for more the ourselves. The times in show biz were fun, but there is no going back. We have to be more then that, and if being real villains means more power... then that's what needed." Bluto said showing he's serious. Pete saw he means it and knows there is at least some truth in his words. But will not agree with some of it, after all they can agree to disagree right?
"I can see your point. But what should we do until then?" Pete asked.
"Good question, we know that Scrooge McDuck has foiled some of our plans by releasing our prisoners. Perhaps it's time instead of waiting for them, we hunt them down." Getting the message, Pete grinned evilly and walk off to gather to troops. As this is happening outside in space Ganondorf had arrived to make their deal official for the partnership and to make use of the heartless in mind.

Cole and Grimhilda - World Unknown
As they stumbled on this world, they traveled for sometime. Grimhilda would have gone on her own, yet she knew deep down that Cole had something planned, something that would change the ways things have been for many years beyond her time. What this plan entails is unknown, but this world they have landed on shows some promise as Grimhilda somehow felt stronger then ever.
"What are we doing in this world? Here to pick up someone I suppose?" She questioned Cole as he continue walking towards an unknown location in the middle of some woods. When they arrive to their spot, it appear like some small cave.
"You remember about the plan I have in mind about some holy grail?" He asked her, Grimhilda then responded, "Yes, yes, about some grail that is part of your scheme, but what does it have to do with this cave or this world?" She asked demanding answers.
"What if I told you this is where it will begin. Where I sometime in the future my plans will not only break the existence but will force everything to submission or torture. Personally torture because if I just killed things that's a waste, beside when people die just as they are with exceptions I will be meeting them down below some point." Grimhilda didn't see his expression but knew it was something she couldn't bare to stare at him. They soon started to venture into the cave as she wanted some questions answered.
"But you still didn't answer me!" Now being more forceful then necessary.
"Let's say that with the Holy Grail, I can raise anyone to life and anything I desire. Sure those will use it for their own purpose and powers but hey, that works. But it will have to wait for sometime as this process will be different from the future Grail. See what I have planned as to be precise and right on the mark, so we have to be somewhere many would not find or accidently find this place. Which is when this is done it will be hidden properly without interference." Cole explained to his partner in crime.
"And you know this how?" She questioned him.
"I have ways." He answered.
"Don't you DARE, lie to me! I'm already in deep as you are now, so I can assume somehow you can see the future. It wouldn't be hard to cast some spell or recipe for making such a powerful magic." She assumed, all she receive is him chuckling at such a notion.
"Not exactly, you see I just know people are going to do this because they will chose this method to regain lost power." This didn't convince Grimhilda as she felt he is pulling her leg, "If you must know, yes I have some connection to those who can see into the future, but even then the future is never certain or absolute. Because more people know the future the more change it becomes. So if you want some future to happen, you must be willing to work for it. Besides with the residents of this world you can say they give off their ideas from their minds without speaking or thinking of it. Of course that isn't to say that's now, more so later on." When Cole explained himself, Grimhilda couldn't help feel he's pulling her leg, yet at the same time has been honest for most of their conversation.
"Your really not making some sense of yourself, makes me really wish I had more people that are similar mindset instead of someone like you." She wished for herself, granted she is more willing to take this opportunity as this will allow her access to some secrets that will help the long run. If anything with Cole appearing to have information that are about worlds and people, she could use this information to manipulate or take control of kingdoms once more.
"The companions you seek will appear, the question is are you willing to team up or use them?" Cole question her smirking at the obvious since doing things on her own or using people as pawns got her nowhere.
"Your despicable, yet I can admire that." Grimhilda said, making Cole laugh at the come back.
"I feel the same way, but in seriousness this will take some time. Once those who want their magic return resort to this method, already their suppose 'Good magic' will be used to not only destroy worlds, but some point force submission to my favor alone." Cole said unable to help himself as he grinned like crazy.
"Do I dare ask, why magic is in your favor." She asked.
"Simple really." Cole pointed upwards and said, "God."
"God? What you some occulted or Catholic?" She now wonder if this guy truly is insane or something.
"Hmm, not that level. Mostly because I came from down below. Just so you can understand the whole plan, I would like you to understand there is a method to everything. And if you hear what I have to say this will keep you immortal forever. Who knows, you will never age never forced to heaven or hell because of your state." Cole said.
"My state?" Grimhilda look at herself, now questioning why this matters.
"First thing you need to understand is with that key in hand. You are now part of an quest that never been completed by anyone, okay maybe at least that one time because that was cost everyone dedication, determination of will, faith, sacrifice, much suffering and their willing descendants wanting to finish their ancestors incomplete task. Which admittedly is clever with God protecting them until rightful death. The key you have is one of 3 sets, the keys that are being look around the multiverse is called Angel Keys, about 3,888 of them that will combine into one key once all are found. Another is called Devil keys, turned into fragments since those who gathered them once are destroyed by those who turn evil end up dead because of the noble deeds of serving the Lord" Cole clutch his fist tightly as he burned with hatred for destroying them then continued, "But the keys you have are the fallen."
"Fallen? Like fallen angels or something?" Grimhilda had some idea, but not the whole picture where Cole is going with this explanation. For all she knew, he's just an insane traveler that had lost his mind and somehow came back from death doors like her, yet that doesn't seem accurate as there is no doubt he is something far more sinister then what demons and devils are describe.
"Fallen Angels and Demons are actually the same beings, just called different because of mistranslation or more accurately time progression has messed up the origin. The key you have are actually what keeps you alive. Hmm, more so allows your soul to remain active in the living world, cause once you lose it you longer are around if it gets destroyed." Hearing this she got defensive trying to hide or see if it somehow is broken.
"Don't worry, if I planned to kill you then we wouldn't be here. Now that you are know of this, let me explained why we are to wait." After much talking, they have walk for sometime now. The cave seems to have no end along with pathways. When entering the pathways led to many ends, entrance and places that no one would explore. Yet the path they are exploring leads to the only way deeper into the cave. So deep that only one pathway exist, yet once they enter into another place, an open cavern that is filled with much darkness, yet with one twitch of his hand, brighten the cavern without producing fire or light in grasp, yet still some darkness ahead of them. While walking Grimhilda learned that when seeking answers, it's best to be on his good side. When confronting the White Witch she could somewhat sense great danger in antagonizing him, learning to listen and hear what he's saying. Plus since it's only two of them having conversation with someone is better then isolation while going mad.
"The Holy Grail we are using is incomplete, mostly because it's not something made as of yet. I have this unique ability that can use creations and ideas that aren't made in any point in time. This allows me to use future ideas that people haven't actually used or thought of as of yet. The Grail will be used in this world and once it does all those related to this world will be shattered by them. Yet that is only one reason why to wait, cause right now the 9 factions are on the move." Cole said waiting for Grimhilda to asked why and sure enough she did asked.
"To put it simply, they are evil by others, morally gray, ideas of self-importance, self-righteous and so many other flaw ideas that make these factions. I hate competition, if they were allies or submission to me that's okay. But act like your some equal or above, they will wish for death more then mercy. These nine factions are actually created by forces not yet shown themselves. Once they are taken down, I will make our move sometime later. But I still have to wait on those who will create this grail, will use it to regain what is lost. Once that happens our move will be in secret and silent as they fight among themselves for their lost magic." Cole wanted this to be short and simple as the overall plan is too complicated and have to require 4th, 5th and possible 6th dimension chess to understand. Granted that really depends on everything that is playing out and if this chess game is really worth the effort.
"You said about these 9 factions? What importance do they have in this scheme?" Grimhilda demanded, but is also interested at the same time as this planned sound like it doesn't need to be active for sometime. Not willing to admit, she felt this trip around other worlds has actually been enjoyable. Maybe for once she could use her current form to get around, who knows maybe find a new world to rule and finally be more fairer then every maiden in the world.
"The 9 factions I speak are those that currently dominate the powers in not just worlds, galaxy and universe. But possibly the entire Multiverse in their private war games, actually the more accurate term would be skirmishes since they aren't truly fighting each other. However the one's currently active in the war games are the Keyblade wielders of light and darkness. For many years beyond eons times billions if possible, they have fought each other over both light and darkness without end. Mostly because their own beliefs and ideals have been corrupted over the stereotypes of both sides. When in reality this is nothing more then petty squabble over some misguided belief place on beings in general. Light is never good because it's not from God, only delusions of beings attempt of living without God or make believe other gods or goddess, this soon lead to more misguided belief as light and darkness only fight over pettiness for proving they are right or wrong. Currently the battle in the Keyblade wars are pathetic as they who fight for them. Especially over this ideal belief with powers of friendship." Cole smirk turned into grin, almost made himself laugh because of this battle making all sides blind. This disturb Grimhilda as she can see that for him, this battle of light and darkness never really matter as her entire being is challenged by his presence.
"And... the others." More hesitate to asked since Cole's thoughts are incredibly despicable.
"The Jedi and Sith own battles are..." Cole then burst into laughter, as if mentioning them is just some joke to him. He tried to speak but the more he thought of them, the more of an joke it was to him because of how ironic the situation and joy it was to him towards their inner conflict, "I'm sorry, it's just the thought of those guys really..." He started laughing again, making Grimhilda stare eyes widen in disbelief as what she's seeing and freak out by his attitude.
After some minutes calmed down enough to finished his explanation, "Anyway, I guess to shorten it. The two Jedi and Sith are fighting over the same power that dedicate their destinies, but in reality this so called Force is nothing more then extension of some other power worthless compare to me. I'll personally deal with that guy and get rid of the force once things played according to plan. The others currently at large are the gems and their so called fashion empire." The last words he said in some flamboyant way, being more dramatic then before, "Snapping them like twigs will be sooo much fun, maybe I can use some recipes for some good gem dinner. And can turned into people like humanoids." Colossal lick his lips with drool almost dropping down if his tongue didn't catch them as he grinned sinisterly at the idea, "The last one is more recently active. While I can say what their doing is actually a good plan, kidnapping warriors from worlds for their own plaything, leaving their worlds defenseless without actual people to save the day. Of course they are the smallest since they are more recent power at the moment, yet they are still equal in power with the others which I can respect that as fellow conquer. There are others but haven't really taken the stage as of yet, that and they are truly weak against these other powers. But I know once these powers are taken out chaos will spread in the multiverse. And I will force the Multiverse into a chaotic state if necessary." His grinned showed great power and confidents as if nothing truly stood against him.
"O...kay." Grimhilda had no words as she truly is dealing with some nutcase.
"Look I know that sometimes I am insane, and truly I am psycho in this field. But remember this, if I was truly unhinge would you be standing in front of me now or would your entire body be drop down." He then walk to her and sniffed her body then smiled humming, "You know what, if this wasn't a time to be scheming I could do something about your condition as you know involves this... death like state. But I can assume you want to figure that out yourself, admirable at least," At this Grimhilda glared intensely at Cole who seems unaffected by this placing his hands up, "Whoa there, I meant as a compliment. But seriously, I would offer my service freely since I would benefit from you benefiting your position of power over others. Anyway, if you don't have any grand schemes, stick with me and you will be immortal queen of great beauty and power of mighty magic. Who knows even Goddess of Mana." Cole offered, this left Grimhilda confused once again at this guy unsure how to read him or how he intends to fulfill his deals, but assume they have some catch that she couldn't afford for herself. You don't become what you are by being foolish all your life, then again she did made arrogant decisions that have led to this point by her own choice, for now she will have to stick with him until the end.
"Well I will leave it at that, but for now I will say that this grail will start soon enough. The First thing we need is the summoning process, mostly one's that doesn't restrict the hero code on us and them. That's already annoying as it is now, so mostly we need at least capable warriors that will be necessary for our plans. The warriors in question will be people and beings that come from mainly past time that is obviously dead and those that are outside this world. But where the fights will take place... honestly what we need is isolation from anything and anyone to find them. So that last one will be search, come let's not stay too long and be sure to cover our tracks. I don't want anyone to find this cave in the next thousand of years... actually that wouldn't be too bad since more times then not destroying something would make things worse. Oh well." As Cole said this, Grimhilda wonder what exactly goes through his head, at the same time he has acknowledge that she would want to go off on her own. Some food for thought as it were, but she will get to other worlds and start her conquest.

To say they have encounter strange things is an understatement, to say they have done this almost once a day is ridiculous in of itself. For mickey that has encountered them as cartoon character, it's an normal episodic short for him. But this case, that's a bit extreme as the train car is literally an car filled with brown boxes you see in mail, delivering from one end to another. But what Mickey found interesting is that everything is filled with boxes including the ground they stand.
"Oh my, what is this place?" Minnie asked unsure of her new surroundings.
"Car Box." Is all Droopy said, while Mew and Pac-man are checking out the boxes from what is inside them or what they contain. As they opened one by one, they found some interesting stuff, from furniture to toys and other stuff you would not believe is in these boxes.
"Seems like the entire car is holding all the mail boxes you see being delivered. Wonder if these are the lost ones?" Mickey said unsure of this car.
"It could be possible, but I feel many of these boxes are here just for no reason other then being interesting." Minnie comment seeing many boxes surrounding them.
"Maybe, but we'll have to get through this car somehow. From what I see these boxes are covering the car from top to bottom, we may have to dig our way through if we're to move on somehow." Mickey said, Pac-man and Mew excitingly dig into piles of boxes and started to open them for cool prizes that they intend to keep.
"Well since the door behind us is there." Minnie said looking back and turn to face forward, "Then the next door should be that way, right?"
"Hmm, could be. But we'll have to look around to confirm that theory." Mickey said, walking forward along with everyone else behind him.

Infinity Train - Peter and Company
For some the return trip as been interesting and curious as normally they would have jump from one world to another when it came to the keys. But from what they are experiencing so far, this is probably the tip of the ice berg. Mario now holds the second key, agreed upon leaving the world behind. They hope that Dimitri and Anya have happy lives and their newest friend once former enemy of his master Bartok is enjoying his newly found freedom. Star now joining their group finds this place interesting even if giving off neutral expression.
"So, this is the Train? And we are given numbers somehow?" Star look at his hand, seeing the numbers that have some purpose for them.
"Indeed my friend, the train seems to hold some scientific findings that no mortal man can understand. I'm actually excited to know what secrets lays in these cars." Gandalf said smiling.
"For now we should watch our steps and be ready for anything, these cars seems to hold their own worlds apart from where we exited from behind." Mario said reminding everyone of the unique world they are exploring.
"What I don't understand is how this type of train is built like... this. You think some alien force had some hand?" Peter asked Gandalf if he has some insight to this train.
"No... I believe there is more to this train then aliens could offer. In fact, it maybe human creations somehow invented for certain purpose." Gandalf theories, but is uncertain himself since this is entirely new to him.
"Well what are we standing around for, let's explore the new car." Flames rushed over to the next car, unafraid of what may lay bare once crossing through the cars. The others followed his example as they too are curious by this train.

Once upon a time, there was a princess and a peasant.
She lived on top of a hill, in a glittering castle.
There she had a servant kept the castle in order,
selected and press her robes for the day,
prepared her royal breakfast,
and served it to her in her chambers.
She had fame,
she had fortune,
she had ahem... product endorsement.
But she was not, what she seem.
On the other hand, in a humbling village far away.
The peasant had none of her luxuries, but he had a dream.
So with fond farewell from his closest friends and,
gifts of good luck, best wishes and useless junk.
Although it's the thought that counts.
His world was about to clash with hers in a place called Hollywood.
However whilst both worlds will clash,
another party or two will joined,
from far away places beyond the stars and from worlds imaginable.
New world - Bugs and Company
When Bugs and Company exit out of the doorway from the Infinity Train. They appeared to have been located somewhere in some place that is filled costumes, although this could be one of the cars they somehow entered, Bugs is willing to bet this was something else.
"Eh, this doesn't look like Kansas for the time." Bugs comment as he walk out to get his surroundings better.
"This place could use some clean up, all this dust and grim-" Something smack his face as he couldn't remove some of the dust that went into his mouth. Jerry being on Popeye's shoulder brush off some of the dust that stick on his face while G&W followed behind. Everyone followed behind Bugs as he eventually found themselves the exit, once they leave the place Bugs and Company had their eyes widen and in awe as Bugs grinned like crazy.
"Hey docs." Bugs turned to face them as dramatically announce, "Welcome to Hollywood!" as the screen moves up to show the entire place, in all it's gold sparkle and morning shine to the place now called Hollywood.
A stage is place at the center with people clapping for the start of the show.
Instruments are played as the show has building drowning in water with someone singing as the angel.
But then changes as one of the animal cats started to preform,
the scene changes into the angel fury calling out her loyal servant.
The hulking giant tries to squash the cat, only to have escape as he and many animal friends are seen dancing.
The scene changing into a move set with the director seat and camera be his side.
Words formed into gold as...
Hollywood - Land of Talents and Dreams
Few moments into Hollywood, everyone is silently awed at their surroundings and how much this has brought back memories for the cartoon characters. This sort of life and living is how they all started. Fame, Fortune, and popularity, until those days were long gone with every now generation of tv shows and cartoons that keep popping up every time.
"I haven't seen this place for sometime." Bugs said whispering, feeling that this could something they all needed for themselves.
"Brings back memories of when we're drawn, yet I feel this place is different somehow." Jerry agreed with Popeye as they followed behind Bugs leading them. Mr. G&W is more so curious and would asked question despite him making beeping sounds along the way.
"You know, I sometimes forget your not from this era." Bugs look back to G&W and turned to face forward while saying, "When we entered this world I had the time to look at the date. It's the year 1939 from what I read, even some of the news from this year is similar somehow." Bugs stated grinning like crazy since this world almost made him feel like time traveling to this era.
Jerry tap on Popeye and spoke to him using sign Language to asked about Bugs being created this year, "I think your right Jerry. If I remember correctly this was around the time Bugs Bunny started out or at least around the late 1930s. I'll asked for you." Popeye said and look to Bugs asking the same, "Hey Bugs, weren't you created around this time?" He asked Jerry's question.
"Hmm, officially I would have been created in 1940s as some would say, but I was actually made in 1938 in the cartoon short 'Porky's Hare Hunt'. Looking at this place I think it was a time where the cartoon business was fresh and new at the time. Weren't you also created around this time too Jerry?" Bugs asked back, Jerry replied by saying he and Tom had been at the start of 1940, so they are one year behind from his and tom's creation.
"Huh, almost ironic if you asked me. Still something about this place feels different somehow." Popeye comment seeing some difference but can't see them immediately.
"You might be right, but I don't see-" Suddenly he's cut off as heartless started to appear in numbers. The occasional types are Shadows, Soldiers, Large Bodies, along with Red Nocturne, Blue Rhapsody, Yellow Opera, Green Requiem and new ones like Emerald Blue similar to the other four, but has light green hat with blue on the tip and aquamarine body with white like spinning around the body. New heartless also appeared in numbers, they are called Fearless Actor/Actress, Director's Cut, and Camera Cord.
The first named Fearless Actor/Actress comes in pairs, The Actor appears like some old Hollywood detective movies with a blue coat and hat matching the form. Their appearance can change depending on the set for the film to film. The Actress has more of an white dress with mixer shades of pink towards the bottom, but has curves and beauty that matches despite being a heartless. Both heartless emblems are place on it's chest.
Director's Cut appears like a director only in darken mishap color from the lighter tone of stereotype directors. It carries a megaphone while directing the heartless at it's command, the Heartless emblem is place on the Megaphone. The Camera Cord is actually an old camera in blue that records for Movie films but also has some extension cord that is connected to something. Has legs and Arms with white gloves and heartless emblem at the side. The Heartless also as eyes where the Movie Camera records the film on both sides of the hole.
"Figures in Memory line somehow they appear." Bugs comment offhanded, then looks at the Author saying, "Couldn't do without action huh?" Bugs lightly glares as he and everyone prepare themselves.

The films it directs always has bad/sad endings and will never have good guys win at the end. Director's Cut has the stereotype appearance of old Hollywood directors, but is darken from not having their way in life. The Heartless Emblem is right below the neck area. By itself all it can do is direct other heartless and try to preform some high quality action films.

Get ready for the stage
Lights!
Camera!
ACTION!
Bugs made his first move as he attack the heartless that came to him like the Shadows, and Soldiers that first greeted them. When Bugs made his move he swung his hammer around either bashing or flattening heartless that came towards him. The only exception is the Large Bodies that didn't do much, but tried every now and then. The heartless surrounding him now are five shadows with two soldiers. The two soldiers tried to spin kick him only to be surprisingly grab by the legs, and spin around as Bugs bash the heartless shadows left and right. Then toss the two at the Red Nocturne that threw fire balls at him. Seeing they won't be beaten easily, Bugs grab his hammer and started to bash the fire balls launch at him. But at the same time used this advantage to attack the others similar to the Red Nocturne like the Blues and Yellows.
"Hard to say their names you know." Bugs said to the Audience that is reading.
Popeye got to work and made these heartless look weak compare to him. Of course Jerry did help as he is launch towards the Emerald Blues as he advised. Doing this Jerry took advantage of the Heartless inability to see smaller targets. But when Jerry got on it's face it used a surprise ability, to force Jerry off it's body, but not before a Blue tried to strike the Emerald Blue with it's ice attack. As Jerry flew it landed on another this time a Green Heartless, He repeated this action it the heartless couldn't hit the small target without damaging their allies. Popeye on the other hand had things under control, bashing the heartless and striking them hard enough to make one hit KO's. But when he was about to strike another Heartless he missed as it change form into thee new heartless of fearless actor.
G&W covered Popeye's and Bug's back. As it would punch or change form into different game form to attack the heartless. He used it's ball form to throw balls at the heartless that disappeared once they made contact with their dark forms. Sometimes changing into other forms like the Octopus for extreme measures. Yet while this is happening He took one glance to see at least some Camera Cords recording the fight while the Director's Cut are examining and directing the heartless to one position or another. Then looking at the battle while defending himself G&W saw that the heartless are overrunning his friends. Knowing what must be done G&W rushed over as quick as it's 8-bit body can move.
Once Bugs finished the Shadows and Soldiers, the Large Bodies and other forms of Reds, Blues, Greens, Yellows and Emerald Heartless came after him, "YIPE" Is all Bugs could shout as he ran for his life away from them. But then Jerry step up and Attack the Large Body, that started to swing around and frustrated the other Large Bodies being hit as well. This cause at least 4 Large Bodies to belly slide into one of their own While bouncing around as Jerry jump off on them. Popeye would then grab one of the frustrated Large Bodies and swung it around smashing all the others leaving only the large Bodies in their wake. At the same time Bugs joined in when the Camera Cords are being attack, G&W manage to at least destroy 5 of them Forcing Director's Cut to take all the other Films records with him and disappear from battle.
With the battle ended, the group could only look in confusion to what happen, "Um, did those Heartless ran away?" Bugs asked the others, they nodded in reply while Popeye said, "Maybe they finally understood what they are messing with, "Showing off his muscles, but then comedically went puny like some broken limb.
"I don't know about that, but we better search around this place for more heartless that appear." Bugs said then everyone heard people screaming as they ran for their lives.

Studio Film Li'l Ark Angel - Moments earlier
At the same time as Bugs and Company are being attack. There is another studio that is being attack by heartless, it was produce by those making the film Li'l Ark Angel starring their famous performer Darla Dimple. But things didn't go as planned as the film making had some problems, one of them being a cat performer starting out named Danny, an orange cat wearing embarrassing clothing as his first time in the job. He came from a small town called Kokomo, Indiana. He had a big dream of being a actor in some Hollywood film. While his view on life is positive, it was the reality that hit like tons of bricks. One of them being he went against the script that now made Darla Dimple angry at him as he sang, but then realize too late he was making a fool of himself.
This led to many knowing of Darla's Infamous childish tantrum that made her more important in the films according to her view point of the world. While she had this tantrum, heartless arrived making everyone curious since, this is Hollywood where fantasy and fiction are make believe brought to reality by talented people around the country.
"Hey is this part of the act?" Danny asked surprise and curious of these guys.
"Hmm, not anyone I know since they are wearing those dark costumes." Sawyer said standing beside him. An white female cat of Persian/Siamese mix, wearing similar outfits in pink for girls and blue for boys.
"Great, as if your stunt wasn't bad enough." Cranston grumpily stated at these newcomers. Goat like in appearance with same outfit for the film, but is old in age and grumpy as much.
"Hold on Darla Dimple, we seem to have uninvited guest at the moment." The Director said, very worried and panicking since Darla Dimple is not only mad, but furious at him since he couldn't direct the animals in their place. Now these weird people are around making things worse then before.
"Go on shoo, we're trying to make a-" Before the director could act, one shadow heartless tried to jump him. While the other did the same, but with success as it stab the people chest and pulled a heart shape crystal, turning it into a soldier heartless. This made everyone pause for a moment as more started to arrive and did the same with two more humans and one unfortunate animal in the crossfire. Suddenly everyone realize this was not some costume or acting, these are real life monsters that are trying to kill them.
"RUN!" Everyone screamed and ran for their lives as they wanted to save themselves. But at the same time people are left behind like Darla Dimple and some of the Animals at least 20 of them.
"Hey, get me down from here!" Darla shouted in rage, but no one listen as the heartless started to round up many more animals and humans as they are plied together by the Director's Cut instruction. As the heartless begin to tie up their now prisoners, Bugs and company arrived in time to see the people... tied up by heartless?
"You know, I thought I have seen everything at this point, but this... I don't know?" Bugs confusingly said at the scene in front of him.
"Why would heartless try to make some stage performance? That doesn't make sense?" Popeye said also confused by the scene.
"Really want to question that when they have hostages in hand?" Bugs pointed out, ignoring this brief confusion everyone prepared themselves while those in the Studios cried out in fear and terrified of these creatures. Before they could do anything Bugs and Company arrived on time to fight them off. Popeye did most of the work as he started to punch them out one by one, while some of the heartless tried to attack the others. The heartless for this area are Director's Cut, Fearless Actors/Actress, Camera Cord, Shadows, Soldiers Large Bodies, Reds, Blues, Yellows, Greens and Emerald are here.
When Director's cut saw Bugs and Company arrived, it directed the heartless commanding only the Reds, Blues, Yellows, and Emeralds to attack Popeye. The Large Body's at least 3 of them are directed to attack Mr. G&W while the Actors and Actress tried to handle Bugs. The Director had no counter for Jerry since it's small and considered weak in it's eyes. This actually gave the group hard time as Popeye couldn't land his blows as he would swing back and forth with none of his punches landing on the heartless, but are avoiding his attacks. Mr. G&W had to run all the time, as it's body changing forms had no proper counters except for it's strongest attacks like the Octopus. Bugs had to be creative in his attacks, as he would attack the heartless in strange ways. The Shadows would try to gang up on him, but Bugs would use the stage to his advantage as bank safes, pianos, furniture, and all the sorts had crash down without any way of counter or stopping it. Jerry among the chaos did his part as he actually jump pretty high for it's small body, from climbing onto Shadow, to soldier so to jump higher like Large Body and many more as the heartless got confused by Jerry's appearance. The Director's Cut saw this and then used a Megaphone shouting noise that are orders to retreat. The heartless escape as everyone that remains is still alive or tied up, but has left Bugs and Company confused once more by their actions.
"Why would those guys retreat like that?" Bugs now questioned.
"Something isn't right about those things." Popeye said agreeing with Bugs.
"Hello, could you help us now!" Someone shouted turning towards the people tied up Bugs and Company saw that the people are still trap.
"Don't worry, we'll help you." Popeye said, but everyone then heard from above Darla Dimple having enough of this nonsense yelled, "MAX!"
Soon the entire building started to rumble and shake, shutting everyone up as they look in terror of Darla's butler Max arrived making an entrance for himself. The guy made Bugs and Company only say one word as their eyes pop and jaws drop literally to the ground whispering, "YIPE!" It was say to least that everyone had become quiet as the big guy named Max had not only brought Darla Down, but also freed everyone else along with anything else Darla commanded her butler. Within short span of things and short work of the stage, everything and everyone is place in order like the monster attack never happen. Bugs and Company were so terrified the events surrounding them flew by until someone that to shake them out of this weird stance.
Once Max had done this he grab Bugs and Company lifting them up towards his face. Along with Darla Dimple beside him as she express great anger towards them, "What... did... you... think... your... DOING IN MY STUDIO!" She shouted filled with rage from this embarrassment.
"Hey girly we had-" Bugs didn't get to finished as Max tighten his grip around them, with the except of Jerry since he's too small to be notice or hold on.
"Now see here Mr. Rabbit. I was doing pretty good for myself, but then you came AND RUINED MY MOVIE. I had to deal with that orange cat, but now I have to deal with you lot. If I don't see you out of here in 30 seconds I will personally have Max use you for cleaning supplies." After her rant she turned to face Max smiling as she couldn't help appreciate her loyal servant, "You may help me down and sort this mess, that will be all for now Thank you Max." She said as Max as he did what he's asked sorting everything and everyone back to place before the heartless came around.
Hour later
After the commotion is done and over with, many who were trying to make their film decided it was best to take a break. But many of them gave their thanks to Bugs and company for helping them out. As for the animals, it seems like these creatures are part of this world. Bugs and Company realize there might be some difference since they don't remember these guys being around. Then again, anyone who has some experience as Hollywood stars would tell you life flies by them. Which makes sense since your always being pulled for one performance towards the next one. If anything for Bugs, Popeye, and Jerry things were always a blur since they had to always focus on their next short film or cartoon shorts.
"Hey thanks for helping us back there." They turn to see an orange cat standing there with a soft smile, greeting them with bundle of positive energy.
"Eh it was no problem doc." Bugs said smirking.
"Well I'm no doctor of that's what you mean?" He said to Bugs.
"Believe us, Bugs here says that to everyone even if your not a doctor." Popeye pointed out with Jerry and Mr. G&W nodding in agreement.
"Really? Trying to be a star at Hollywood? Cause I am as well, but today wasn't that great." He said unhappy with himself, before the monster attacks he realize back there he messed up big time.
"Something wrong?" Popeye asked seeing his tone change for a bit.
"Well..." Before he could speak more, he slap his forehead and remembered, "I forgot to introduce myself, names Danny from Kokomo Indiana. I just got starting working here for this big film production." Danny said with positive energy he had before hand.
"Names Bugs Bunny, and he's Popeye the strongest sailor you'll find, Jerry the Mouse the smallest of our group and Mr. G&W." Everyone gave their own greeting or hellos to Danny.
"Huh, you guys just got here?" Danny asked.
"Yep, we're kind of exterminators by the way we fight." Popeye said.
"Not that great at your jobs huh?" Someone said, another cat like Danny stood behind along with a Hippo, Turtle, Goat, Fish, and Penguin. For Bugs and Company it was honestly the most weirdest experience they are having as of late. For one when looking at the year, this was the time period of their career, yet seeing the difference with actual talking animals taking part in stages made things weirder for them. Since they are cartoon characters, they didn't become self-aware of the world after their show biz was done and over. Granted they had known their world is made up and they are doing entertainment, but they never explored more of the world after their time as stars are over.
Bugs had to rethink of his friends he made now considered his family. Yet some of them are now his enemies since many years later they are doing bad things for Pete and Bluto. Daffy doesn't help the case as he's most likely gone off to gain fame and fortune of his own. In the back of his mind, it sadden him that Daffy thinks he's overshadowed when in reality he's actually popular, but has allowed the performance to change his behavior. Guess even stars have their limits, but Bugs always kept it cool even when he had mental breakdown. Granted he was created that way, but not without limits at certain points.
"Got a girlfriend on your first day huh?" Bugs joked, the others smirk behind him, but she wasn't having any of it.
"No not really. I'm just the secretary who has to work with this guy here." She said coolly like the entire place froze over.
"Brr, chilly out here." Bugs meant that as he felt the cold shoulder from her.
"Oh don't mind her, names Tilly Hippopotamus. And I have to say thank you for saving us from those monsters." Tilly said thanking her heroes. She then continue to introduce everyone in fast talking way only Bugs could keep up. Bugs simplified the introduction so he could remember everyone faces and names, for Tilly she's the Hippo, Cranston as the Goat seemingly grumpy as he appears. T.W. Turtle for the small guy, but not the smallest yet he's nervous and sly. Although Bugs want not allow him and another turtle to meet because he knew what the wise guy would try at least. The Penguin as Pudge or his full name Peabo Pudge Pudgemyer, seems to still have much energy as Danny yet more experience by small degree. Frances Albacore is a fish, strangely smoking a cigarette holder yet who's he to judge. Then Sawyer who's seems to know the place better then anyone. After Tilly stop her rambling, and they introduce themselves, some of the animals went away while Danny, Sawyer and Pudge are the only ones here with them.
"Quite a friendly bunch aren't they?" Bugs said to the audience. But Danny, Sawyer and Pudge saw Bug's action and look around.
"Who you talking too?" Pudge asked.
"Don't worry about, it's me practicing my forth way breaking act." Bugs winked at the audience as they didn't realize who Bugs really is or what sort of creature.
"Oh your an stand up comedy right? Going on the big screen to preform your act?" Danny asked picking up on Bugs acting still, surprising them at how quick Danny is at the uptake.
"You did your homework doc." Bugs compliment.
"If only he would follow the script then we wouldn't be in this mess." Sawyer said. Danny shyly look away at his blunder.
"Adding something to the act?" Popeye asked knowingly smirk at Danny.
"More like making a fool for himself, since animals aren't allowed to preform the same as human actors." Sawyer told them as reminders if they are to stay in Hollywood.
"...You mean those embarrassing clothes is what they force you to wear?" Bugs questioned wondering what that is for them.
"Well maybe they didn't see what you can do yet?" Danny tried to stay positive, but that only damper Sawyer's mood more then before.
"Listen, just because you got to Hollywood doesn't mean they will allow you to be star of some show. Those guys in Hollywood only hire human actors not animals. That film we're doing is all we're going to be doing from here on out. I know you have some big dreams and all, but guys like you won't last here that long with that attitude." Sawyer tried to lay it down gently, but knew the harsh reality of how things work here.
"Now wait just a gosh darn moment here, are you telling me they only allow human actors on stage and not animals for some bias reasons?!" Bugs exclaimed, not believing what he's hearing as the rest of them also heard as well.
"That's right, people like Darla are the only actors they will have as stars for the show. If your not like her then you can't make it big." Sawyer told them.
"She seemed like a spoiled brat of you asked us." Popeye comment from what they witness and heard from her. While yes they focus on the fight, they could hear in the background her shouting anger and complaining that annoyed them.
"Tell that to her butler." Pudge muttered, but they heard it as their jaw drop realizing who that big guy belongs too.
"You mean that big guy is her Butler?!" Danny is equally surprise as well.
"Unfortunately yes, his name is Max. He does whatever she commands him, including entering these studios to force others to comply to her whims." Sawyer explained.
"That sounds illegal." Bugs said with others agreeing.
"Even so, no one wants to upset Darla even if she's a spoiled brat. It's worse for animals like us since she forces us to play our part, especially this movie as she's 'The star' of her own show." Sawyer quote on quote what Darla thinks of herself.
"That brat needs an attitude adjustment." Popeye express his anger knowing this was common norm for some reason. One of his punches towards that Butler will do the trick, then again that might cause more problems then necessary since he does know money doesn't come from trees.
"Hold on, maybe if we put our heads together we can come to some understanding. You know work on making films together." Danny suggested, earning some stares from the others. For come that are experience in the show biz, they took pity for Danny as he really is new to the whole concept, but guys like Mr. G&W aren't too familiar with this since in his days making simple games with 8-bit or 16-bit were common for him. Back then things were all about having fun, and being with friends. But from what he has heard to many old school video game characters that are surviving the modern times, competition seems to harshen them or be light hearted if you hold no grudges. Seeing Danny side to team up wasn't such a bad idea.
"Ah, that's a bad idea. She hates animals like us." Pudge said reminding Danny how bad is Darla to allow her getting away with things.
"He's right, beside if you can't handle this life, you should return home. Hollywood is not a place of dreams and talent, if they don't like you, you can't make the big times." Sawyer said as a final advise, hoping at least this would help Danny understand how things work around here. When she left Bugs and Company could only wonder how much things are either the same or similar to their days. One of the things we as individuals tend to do is ignore the bad days and forget them. Which isn't always bad, but signs of moving past them, yet those who couldn't were forced or trapped in the past because of what happen or the situation playing differently.
"That seem to went well." Bugs joked, but in truth he didn't know how to lighten the mood with everything that has happen.
"Maybe, but that just means I have to try again." Danny said with positive spirit.
"Your not one to get down so easily huh?" Popeye sarcastically asked with Jerry staring at Danny with one raised eyebrow.
"Nah, sure there are bumps on the road. But that doesn't mean I stop trying. Sometimes you got to work for your dreams even when others say you couldn't, I will keep trying even if I make mistakes." Bugs couldn't help smile at his positive determination.
"You think we have a chance, even though we're animals?" Pudge asked Danny.
"I think so." Danny said smiling, but they are interrupted by the Director named Flanigan. He came rushing over to the group short on breath as he never ran like this before.
"Good, you guys are here." He said between breaths.
"Take a deep breath." Popeye suggest, as he finally calm his nerves and then spoke, "Alright, now I like to ask you guys to come with me. L.B. Mammoth would like to have a few words with you." When he said this, the others are actually concern about what this means, but Flanigan quickly realize they mistaken his intentions.
"Don't worry, you guys aren't in trouble. In fact I asked him personally to hired you guys to be security guards of Mammoth Studios." He said making everyone surprise by his words.
"Security?" Danny confusedly said, turning to Pudge for some explanation since he's here longer then him, but is given a shrug.
"Ah yes, since your new along with these fine folks. I should explain myself, as of lately this incident isn't the first to happen." But is interrupted by Pudge correcting his statement.
"Hold on, you were just as surprise as we were?" Everyone agreed as Pudge said to Flanigan.
"Yes I was surprise, honestly I thought what happen was just rumors. See there are others spreading some rumor of dark creatures that people mistaken as actors. Worse is there have been rumors before them that people went missing, including star actors and actress. When they appear I was terribly worried for Darla Dimple, seeing those nasty creatures first hand wasn't a experience I want to see again. Which is why I made a call to L.B. Mammoth to hire you three for the job." Flanigan pointing to Bugs and company since seeing them in action showed they were capable of destroying those monsters.
"Us?" Bugs and Popeye said, Jerry and Mr. G&W would have said something if they had voices of their own. Jerry wasn't too bother since he's smallest and unnoticed to everyone.
"Yes, I need people that could protect Darla Dimple from those awful monsters. And of course the others as well, I had to agree if you accept this job your responsible for protecting all these studios from those dark creatures. We'll discuss your pay somewhere else, so are you guys in?" He asked hoping they say yes either. Everyone could that do or don't know him to be either impress or just... whatever the case, it gave Bugs and Company the idea to at least explore the studios. With what is happening it's probably best they stay in the law by being hired for something. For Bugs, Popeye and Jerry it would have been best as hired stars, but again they would have to work from the bottom. So being known as Monster slayers would make things easier, no need for secrets or world order if heartless and other monsters are just going to break them anyway.
"Alright Doc, you have yourself couple of exterminators." Bugs said offering his hand as shake.
"Thank you mister rabbit, he'll be so glad to hear." He then lead the others away, but Bugs would stop to encourage the new actors careers.
"Hey docs, a little advise from someone that has small experience. If you want to make it big, have friends you can count on. And never forget how they brought you here." bugs said that is from experience. Danny shook his hand and said, "Thanks Bugs, we'll do our best."
"We?" Pudge asked.
"Of course, you and me are friends. We help each other." Danny said, Pudge smiled happy to know he has someone to count on. Bugs walk off to settle his new job as they will no doubt be exploring much of Mammoth Studios. He may have fuzzy memories, but he could have sworn that wasn't what it's called, then again this isn't his world so why not.

7 days later - Bugs and Company
To say they had their hand full is an understatement. Yet their job seems to have taken some toll on their everyday life. More so for people like Jerry and Bugs, normally they should have more energy and strength since they are cartoon characters, but they aren't design like some athlete since many of their stunts are preformed for comedy instead of actively fighting. The exception is Popeye and Mr. G&W for both are meant to be psychically active because their character design is meant for these activities. But what is currently annoying and pissing them off is that the heartless... are smarter. In fact the Director's Cut always seems to know how to fight back, yet they had to keep being creative with their attacks.
This also had some affect on the movie production as many of the actors and actress were tried of these monsters just appearing everywhere. But eventually after fighting them for certain amount of time. They end up running away for some reason, even worse is that somehow they are able to counterattack their own fighting styles, even their combine attacks isn't working on them. Mr. G&W warned them of the one heartless that seems to guide them around, Since this discovery they had tried to kill that heartless, yet somehow in some weird cartoonish way it gets away in comedic fashion. But despite this, things have gotten calmer now with their active presence to destroy the heartless. Yet despite this...
"This is getting ridiculous! Every time we had those heartless that one somehow retreats and brings the others with it. Even when we decide to attack it, all the heartless run which is more frustration then before." Bugs shouted irritated by this situation. He and others are right now resting alongside with the other animals that are living in these small towns. Popeye was offered a place with the humans, yet refused as his loyalty to his friends came first. But what surprise them most is the fact that animals treatment is beyond what they could have they expected. It was obvious these animals had talent, even when spending time with Danny when off it didn't leave their minds that the heartless are somehow smarter. If only Mickey was here or at least one of the Keyblade Wielders to explain what is going on.
"Cheer up, at least we have ourselves a temporarily home while staying here. Sure it may not be the best home, but it still more home then living in the streets." Popeye said, walking alongside his pals. The home they are staying is a small apartment that can fit all four of them. Sure it has one bed, but between all of them with Jerry being the smallest one, Mr. G&W not affected by this change found rest on a rocking chair, that left Bugs on the couch and Popeye on the bed. The routine on these worlds is sometimes hard at times, but they make due with them. Currently they are patrolling the studios, the deal is to work some hours until the crisis is adverted. Bugs and company explained that these monsters won't leave unless they find the source or someone that controls them. While the third is to give in to whatever demands, they kept that as never options or unspoken one. L.B. Mammoth is pleased to hear this can be solved and wanted to reward them for their efforts once the crisis is over.
"That's right, gotta be positive. Someday things will be different for all of us." Danny with his usual enthusiasm had one affect that truly brought back memories of the golden times. Jerry stood on Danny's shoulder, and for once isn't being chase by a cat.
"Thanks Dan, but shouldn't you be working at this time?" Bugs asked.
"Well they are putting it off, saying those monsters are going to hurt their star." Pudge also joined the company, as the six of them are exploring with Danny and Pudge offering their help when needed. While they will watch from the background, they couldn't help offer a helping hand for them in case something is needed.
"Right Darla Dimple, what's here deal? It's not like they couldn't find anyone help to replace her since that attitude would drive people crazy." Bugs question which everyone could agree is something they didn't expect from her. They thought for a moment she was just some adult in childlike body, but it turns out she's just a brat. Even so they would have preferred someone else to replace her instead of having someone more manageable.
"Two problems with that." Pudge raised two hands to she two points since well, penguins don't have fingers, "First is she's one of the most popular stars, losing her would hit them hard. Anyone get word of this then there be problems, but another is the obvious since you met him." At this everyone groan, more so Bugs and Company as they now understood one of her powerful strengths.
"Max." With grumbling from Bugs and Popeye, as Jerry and Mr. G&W shook their heads at this answer.
"Yep, he's big and scary. Since we're animals no one actually stands up to her without Max being around. She's also a great actor, since she can pretend to like you one moment and just being cruel the next. Those around her fall for her cute and childlike innocence." Pudge saying what all the animals are fearful and how Darla gets away for the most part.
"That's three points Doc. Figures that she would use her age and position to her advantage." Bugs knew this was common in Hollywood, a**es yes but not evil or bullying type. But for someone like Darla to be that and get away with it, Bugs would have to do something about it. If anything maybe Popeye would stand better chance against Max then any of them.
"Oh come on, she can't be that bad. Besides she probably is dealing with lots of pressure, which I should apologize for my behavior towards her. I just wanted to show some talent, but that was out of line." Bugs, Popeye and Jerry pity Danny since he's just a first timer. Seeing him just being this way. But suddenly from around the concern, someone bump into both Popeye and Bugs, surprising everyone how they weren't paying attention in front of them.
"HEY YOU WATCH WHERE YOUR GOING!" Someone said in a weird voice that wasn't understood easily. But for Bugs and Company, they knew immediately knew who is talking to them. When looking at the two people who they bump into, it was Donald Duck wearing his wizard uniform when in combat and his wand he keeps close by his side(KH appearance). But the other is what surprise them again as he appears similar to Bugs Bunny in some way, but looks like Bugs in his youth when cartoons were starting out. Those standing on the side are strange creatures they haven't seen before, they appear like robots that are almost the size of small children. But have four legs, an glass dome on the head, two eyes and four fingers on both hands. This is Datamon, another line of Digimon lost on another world.
"DONALD!" Bugs and Company exclaimed, and tackled the poor duck as he's buried in hugs from his friends.
"Get off of me." Donald quack at them grumbling as he stood.
"How did you get here? And where are the others?" Bugs asked these questions, but is shoved off to give some personal space.
"We'll talk later about it okay." Donald assure them and said, "But I'm glad you guys are okay, things have gone bad at the castle."
"We heard from Luigi, about everything that is happening." Popeye told Donald as they knew or some idea what is happening.
"Hello, who are your friends?" Danny asked wanting to be friendly as Pudge joined in as well.
"Oh right, this is Donald Duck he's a friend of ours." Bugs said, introducing Donald yet lean forward to whisper, "But he can't say the words correctly thanks to his duck bill."
"HEY I HEARD THAT!" Donald did his pose as he raised his fist in anger, this in turn made them laugh as friends.
"So who is the other guy, and what are those?" Popeye pointed out as the rabbit beside Donald and those behind them.
"Oh those guys, they are Datamon." Pudge answered, this caused confusion for them when Pudge answered like that, "Don't asked, they call themselves Datamon."
"The penguin is right, we are Digimon species that is fortunate enough to have been hired or to at least not be tossed aside when confronted by these humans. So we made ourselves useful by upgrading these special effects as they call it. We are hoping to improve in this technology from real movies to CGI that will help bring great performance. These two gentlemen are escorting us to places we need to go since we aren't too familiar with this place yet." Each of them said in turns, which is both unique and creepy. But outside of that the 10 of them seem content with their new lives.
"Hmm, what about you Doc?" Bugs asked their silent companion, who seems to be nervous by their appearance.
"B-B-B-Buggy. That's what my f-f-f-friends call me." The way Buggy's talking you would have thought he was having some panic attack if he wasn't just shy or nervous.
"Buggy? That's interesting name you got there." Danny pointed out offering his hand shaking.
"As much as we would like to join conversations, Mr. L.M. Mammoth wanted us towards one of the studios for his important project. If you can excuse us we would like to get busy." Datamon's said to the group.
"I will meet you guys in a moment, I have to do my job." Donald told them.
Buggy and Donald then went off to guide the Datamon towards their new jobs. Once they finished that Donald return with Buggy following behind, to say they would find one of their friends so soon is surprising to say the least, but a good one. After Bugs and Company went around taking care of some heartless that remained, they returned for the day. When they went for a meeting, Danny wanted to invite someone he met last week from now. For now it's just Danny, Pudge, Bugs and Company that have gathered.
"So how are you guys, doing okay?" Danny asked as friends with Bugs and Company for sometime now.
"We're doing good so far, rough on the edges but that's about it." Popeye said, everyone agreeing as well.
"I just want to cheer everyone, from what I have seen many of us aren't able to fulfill their dreams, but it seems to be harder then it looks since I'm the new guy around the block." Danny confessed knowing it has been some rough start, but that doesn't mean he can't stop trying.
"Have to admit, your enthusiasm is very contagious. Some people I know could really use that attitude." Bugs said, right now they are setting up dinner for everyone. Bugs kept his diet like Popeye, Jerry had his small dish of cheese and other like Mr. G&W had his own through charger cord that connects to the wall. Danny and Pudge wanted to be polite and ate what was here. And to say Danny and Pudge never had healthy food this good before.
"Are you guys friends with Donald?" Pudge wanted to asked them since they knew him more then them.
"In some way yes, Donald is actually friends with someone that we know." When Bugs explained this Danny gasp and shouted with joy as he rushed over to Bugs talking fast that everyone didn't understand.
"DoyoumeanyourfriendswithMickeyMouse,Iknewitthat'sDonaldDuckthatmeansyouguysareactuallyfriendswiththeheadofYensidStudios-"
"Wow, wow, wow boy. Slow down there so we can understand each other." Popeye calm down Danny as he jump up and down.
"Are you guys serious!" Pudge exclaimed also surprise when he connected the dots.
"Those guys are not just famous, they also known to respect animals as movie stars. While many of us go to Hollywood just wanting to be our own stars like them. There is some guys here that still talk about them. W. Y. Sid is known for making dreams come true, so it's surprising that Donald is even here." Pudge explained which makes sense when you think about it. They maybe in another world, but this was a time when studios were still growing and making movies are still creative, so for there to be Walt Disney in this world, at least that is one thing that didn't change for sometime.
"Huh, guess you would want his autograph." Normally that would have been Bugs getting this treatment, but overall Mickey Mouse as the Mascot is okay. Bugs took this time to look at the audience and said, "Everyone has their heroes."
"Actually I wouldn't mind if you could get their autographs, because that be cool to have the names of famous animals from another studios." Pudge said to Bugs, who knew that he is connected with them through Donald here in this world, but he's not the same Donald Duck as this world. But if he could somehow get connected then he could make it happen. If he remembered correctly then all six of them namely Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Pluto are created around this time. It has been awhile and traveling to worlds that don't function the same timeline doesn't help as well. However if this world still operated the same as his past times in show biz, maybe it be possible. He'll have to pull strings or connect them to make it work.
Just about then when everyone had started to talk about stuff, Donald along with Buggy had arrived in their new apartment along with someone very big named Woolie the Mammoth. He is a big elephant with a dress suit in brown coat, wearing glass that hang close to his eyes on his trunk. What is noticeable is his tusks are shorten almost like cut up smoothly. It was a tight squeeze for him, but with everyone pitching in they manage to bring him inside. But not without Bugs and Popeye trying to use their own cartoon logic to the building to make things comfortable.
"Well, I like to thank you for inviting me to your home. My name is Woolie Mammoth." Woolie said, happy to met them even if he's too big for the apartment.
"No problem doc, names Bugs Bunny, the others are Popeye in his sailor suit, Jerry the Mouse standing on the table, please don't jump around if your scared of him." Bugs beg knowing that Woolie could easily be frighten by mice, although that might be a myth as well.
"Fear not, I maybe afraid of smaller things, but I won't be able to move around as much since I'm too big." Woolie assured Bugs and friends he wouldn't jump around like those cartoons.
"Good, and here we have Mr. G&W. He looks weird and quiet, but that's his charm." Mr. G&W move around making beeping noise as he greeted himself, "See his own charm." Bugs comment.
Then he look at Donald and Buggy, the first glad to see his friend while the other a familiar face of this world, "And we're glad to see you two here. " Bugs said to Donald and Buggy.
"I'm glad to find my friends are okay, but where are the others?" Donald said taking a seat somewhere in the room.
Bugs walk up and whispered to Donald, "We'll talk later." letting Donald know the others don't know and should keep it this way. Woolie chose to sit down since moving around with his size would be troublesome.
"First off, I like to thank you for helping us and this studios from those vile creatures that seems to appear too often lately." Woolie gave his thanks on his and others behalf showing he's grateful for their help.
"We're doing what is right, and besides we're kind a experts on those things." Popeye proudly said with others like Jerry and Mr. G&W joining.
"But what are those things exactly. I think you did explained about them being dark creatures from the darkness and stuff, but what are they specifically?" Pudge asked for more details.
"Sorry to say kid, but we're not exactly experts on the subjects, one of our friends would tell you this in more detail depth, we just simply know what he told us." Bugs informed them.
"That makes some sense, but where do you think the source is located? I mean this is a big studios and you guys did say there is a source to the heartless drawn here." Danny thought about what they said and wanted to help them since they have been staying for awhile.
"We don't know, but what I am tired of is that one heartless getting away all the time." Bugs thought about that one heartless that seems to be smart one from the rest. Normally this shouldn't be possible since Heartless are always on instinct then smart, maybe it was that one occasion where the heartless is somehow smart at this time. There are worlds that affect some rules and visitors from other worlds, so that could play a factor somehow.
"You mean that one you guys mention as that Director wannabe?" Pudge heard Bugs complain before and mentioning it was that heartless in particular.
"Yeah we did, but it was because this thing doesn't act like normal heartless. Every time we either attack it first or later, the heartless escape along with the rest of them. Worse it seems those heartless are getting onto our tricks, Bugs and Jerry are probably the only ones left that might have a decent chance since they can't counter them easily. Besides that we're starting to believe that heartless is the source, the only problem is we can't seem to catch that thing." Popeye explained their situation and how this has been bugging them much.
"Pardon me for being ignorant on the subject, but what exactly does this heartless do that seems unnatural?" Woolie asked intrigued by this conversation.
"Well for one, that heartless seems to always record our moves. And those other heartless actually take orders and counter our attacks the second time around. Even if it's only for about 30 minutes from fighting they knew how to fight us better. We had to pull some fast ones just to survive, if anything we're lucky enough to make it this far." Popeye describe annoyed by it as well, but wonders if taking some spinach at the fight would be more helpful, then again if he used that then he wouldn't be able to use it against Max at some point, having some gut feeling that's when he should use it.
"Hmm, that sounds like someone making a movie if you asked me." Woolie stated what is described to him.
"Woolie's right, sounds like you have some guys that want to make some movies, in a dark and creepy sort of way... would that make it a horror film?" Danny muttered the last parts.
"I wouldn't want to be in some horror films that scary." Pudge comment as he feels that would scare him easily.
"Yeah well we need to find a way stop this thing before he does more harm." Bugs said what they are thinking, at least those that are fighting the heartless at the moment.
"T-T-Then play the part." Buggy said finally speaking as they took notice of him. Donald would have spoken as well, but normally people don't understand him or he gets frustrated easily. Mickey had to reprimand Donald on more the one occasion, but still gets frustrated when involved in conversation. Yet that's not in his mind right now, in fact you could say that it more so involves their home that's now lingering in his thoughts.
"W-W-What I mean is y-y-you could pretend to be p-p-part of his m-m-movie and then attack h-h-him at it's vulnerable moment." Buggy stuttered between sentence, but draw in courage to speak his mind about the matter.
"Hey now that doesn't sound like a bad idea, if this heartless acts like a movie director then trying to play in the movie it's making would help you guys take it down." Danny encourage the Bugs and Company of this idea, seeing this could work in their favor.
"You know what that does sound like an idea, we could pull a big one under the rug of that Director's cut movie and WHAM get it where he stood." Bugs said liking the idea, he then turned to Buggy and said, "Thanks for the idea."
"Oh no, I-I-I don't have good i-i-ideas. I-I-I'm just a dumb b-b-bunny." Buggy said, making Donald rolled his eyes as he obviously had no confidence in himself or what he's doing. Bugs felt something tug in his heart as he had experience this feeling before. If anything it's a feeling you get when your doing things first time. No doubt Buggy for all his life had some struggles that really affect his personality.
"Cheer up, Buggy. It is a good idea, just gotta believe in yourself." Danny tried to encourage him.
"Thank you... B-B-But, even if I could. I-I-I sometimes get jittery, and feel afraid that s-s-something might go w-w-wrong. I'm a-a-a Bunny after all." Buggy puts himself down from the encouragement he was getting.
I get it, your scared. But you have to keep holding on, all first steps are always the hardest. You may not see it now, but if you keep thinking positive and work your way up, you'll eventually get to where your going. It may seem like you can't come up with great ideas, but you got to hold on and keep trying." Danny tried to encourage Buggy, but it seem that wasn't working.
"B-B-But..."
"Danny's right, you just got to keep on going. Whatever it is your aiming for, just don't give up." Bugs added to Danny's encouragement. Although this encouragement maybe from the heart, it wasn't exactly with well known knowledge of the individual or what Hollywood is doing to people like him. Still to Bugs and Danny, using what they learned in their time could somehow help someone else, then that works.
"O-O-Okay, but I need t-t-time." Buggy stuttered, feeling some confidence in himself.
"I must say you fellows have interesting jobs." Woolie said after watching them help Buggy out with his confidence.
"We should say about you, being famous as you are." Popeye said speaking of how Danny talks about some animals and their part in movies.
"If only that were the case, but as you know animals haven't really been given the same treatment as humans. While I can say Danny has been good as keeping our spirits up, I feel this will end the same as the rest of us." Woolie spoke his concern for Danny as he always had a positive outlook on life.
"What do you mean? I can handle what is thrown at me fine." Danny said assuring Woolie.
"Do you know what happen to Sawyer?" Woolie asked, Danny shook his head no as everyone listen in on this tale.
"What happen?" Danny asked out of concern for her.
"Sometime before you arrived, she had the same positive energy as you did. In fact her dream is similar to you. She had the spirit and determination, wasn't really afraid to show herself up... But that started to weigh over her as time progress and her dream remained unfulfilled. Hollywood would be mistake as world's greatest talent for films and stuff. But it also brings you down if you don't follow their standard of how you should behave or act. Humans may sometimes get let down, us animals are worse. She tried to do what you did sometime ago. Always trying to show her stuff and willingness to chase her dream. Yet the people here had finally beaten her, not in the body but in spirit. Since then she has been this way for sometime. I was there to witness this change along with any of us here. Pudge came after her and then you showed up." Woolie tried to recall his time. Danny felt sadden as he realize why she behaved the way she did with him. If anything having your dreams taken away because you of some reasons would bring anyone down. Maybe he can try to help bring back that spark once more.
"Guess I never realize how hard it was for her. Did anyone else tried to make things better?" Danny asked want to see the bright side of things.
"More then likely they did, but didn't get far." Bugs answered having some idea this was some hard times for actors and actress. He just never thought it be the same for animals.
"Well at least they didn't have to deal with Darla Dimple when she rose as their best movie star." Pudge said giving some insight to the someone they didn't think about as much.
"Speaking of that brat, how did she rose into movie star? Surely she would be too young to live by herself if that butler wasn't around." Popeye question, seeing that in these couple of days, when encountering Darla Dimple she appeared nice and charming, but when things didn't go her ways things didn't go well. In fact when they did encounter her, she treated the animal friends with disrespect because she could and viewed herself as greatest movie star.
"I believe it was about 1 or 2 ago when she rose into fame. You see about sometime ago when she was growing up. Her mother was a Hollywood hit, her name Dertrude Dimple. She was a low time actress that had it rough in her times as men were still viewed in greater light. Of course the same could be said now just not that noticeable." Woolie recalled back when Darla was younger before she was born. The others never knew this as it came surprising to know about her mother being an actress as well.
"Guess she was once a sweetheart once, right doc?" Bugs comment in some joking matter, but then saw Woolie stare down as he sigh shaking his head no.
"I wouldn't say that, in fact I would say she would have been innocence from her age. But her mother was desperate for fame and fortune that when Darla Came to her life, things became different for them. Darla was given whatever she wanted because Dertrude didn't bother to make time with Darla, when the butler Max came into their lives about five years from now. She would go to him for getting whatever she wanted, since then she more or less relied on him to take care of her when Dertrude wouldn't make time for Darla. Yet it was exactly that 1-2 years ago she would then die from an accident. I can't say how it happen, but there are rumors saying that she died from stage equipment." Woolie tried to recall what happen next, while the saying elephant never forgets is suppose to be a saying, it didn't imply to elephants that they did have good memory.
"...Gosh, I couldn't imagine that happen to my mother." Danny said sadden by this information, while everyone says she's mean it didn't take away the fact that she's all by her lonesome without a parental figure in her life. Maybe Max is the only one she could count on as support. Bugs and Company felt sadden by this tale, as Popeye couldn't help shed some tears for Darla and for bad mouthing her after hearing this from Woolie.
"Wow, I didn't realize that happen to her. Now I feel bad for calling her names." Pudge said feeling more sorry then before.
"Yes, it was a sad day for her. But I feared that was the beginning of the Darla Dimple some animals know and feared. You see now an orphan, Max is the only one that took care of her at the time. Without no way of paying for money, she had to somehow gain fame and fortune for herself. Darla had shown potential in movie business and she did well in her starting career. In fact she was that great that she's become the world's most adored angel in America. Learning more the her mother did, she had her part in another movie where she would have surprise her mother in a birthday present the movie release. When she died Darla continued her performance and became a great hit. Yet it was that time when others especially animals like us started to show her up. In fact now that I think about it, it was around that time when Sawyer would have made her big hit if Darla didn't show her up. Hollywood maybe a place of talent and dreams to people outside, but the show biz is not for the faint of heart." The last part some of the more experience knew how hard some places are in jobs. Hollywood is no except. Just because your good at something didn't mean you could just take a high position job and go from there. You earn your job and boy did Popeye, Bugs, Jerry and Mr. G&W knew that wasn't just something you get without working. While G&W could argue he's a video game character for appearance sake, if more a person you find he would still work his way to earn his brand.
"That make sense, even if you want to be a movie star it takes time and effort. Sadly I can't say what happen when someone just takes that away after the hard work." Bugs had only heard about this years back at least couple of times this happen, thankfully it wasn't too common to his knowledge. It was at this point Danny snap his fingers and stood up having some idea.
"She couldn't be that bad, just needs some love from others and maybe we can work from there." Danny suggested, but is missing the point about Darla Dimple.
"Some have tried before you Danny, but she has her heart closed off to everyone. More then likely her mother dying didn't help things either, and since then she has taken that out on us or anything that would try to upstage her performance. Although her hatred for animals is a mystery that no one will know, I can't help feel she been threat by animals to be stars when they almost upstage her sometime ago. Your best not to be in her way, she maybe a child yet now has chosen to be cold hearted to everyone and everything as she pleases." Woolie finished with a warning to any that would meet Darla Dimple. Soon the day was almost done and everyone continued to talk and have some fun with board games or other sorts. Danny however had some thoughts and feelings about Hollywood, he had a big dream, but found everyone else's dreams had faded overtime. He did think of something and would like Woolie and Pudge to help, while Bugs and Company can join in he knew that they are given jobs and for now he'll have to make due with what he's got.

3 Days Later - Back Alley Jam
In the alleyway Danny, Pudge and Woolie had this idea they been working on for sometime. When they arrived at Bugs and Company's apartment, Danny was hoping they take part in this project to help them cheer everyone and keep on seeking their dreams. But hearing them having trouble and struggling with some heartless was not the right time. If anything he realize they seems to have their own issues that needed to be solved before asked for help. Sure he would have wanted to help them, yet he doesn't know how to fight as much. Besides they are professionals so they knew what they were doing, right?
Their plan had work as many of the animals have started to regain their lost joy as many of them dance along with the music and regain spirit once again. However what they didn't realize is someone is watching them as one heartless namely Director's Cut had appeared watching them dancing and singing together. With the Camera Cords now arriving. It directed them towards the movies climax, soon many have gathered as they prepared their final performance.
But while dark forces are preparing themselves, one in particular heard what is going on outside or at least the music. Sawyer was just minding her own business, yet when the music started she went to investigate as she wonder who would play this music at this time. Once she reach the location, everything started to slowly turn her world upside down as she began to feel something inside she once lost. When Danny got her to dance once again, she felt alive and happy to finally be able to do something she once had dreams about in her younger years. Everything moved in a way like time traveling towards your children dreams, but of course reality kicks in as one scream gain attention of everyone.

Hollywood patrol - Bugs and Company
When Bugs and Company had Donald joining their party, they went on patrols to keep the people safe as the heartless sightings are less then most days so far. But that only worried them more as it may seem like somehow they are being led by someone that is intelligent enough for break. What is worse about this thought process is the thing leading them is the Heartless that is smart as any person or commander at that. Donald for his part scoff at the idea of smart heartless or didn't outright believe them as he place his own problems he thought of over his friends concern right now.
Sometime after meeting with the others, Bugs and Company are starting to worry about their reunited friend Donald Duck. For the most part he seems quiet, granted every now and then he would go on being angry and so on. But that was normal for him, what isn't normal is Donald being quiet for most of the days since he arrived. Bugs and Company had return to searching for heartless once more. Donald had his own way of fighting as Mickey's magician, using the common elements of magic that can be used in battle. But even then Donald is still more quiet then usual, Bugs and Company hope that maybe he open up some point but instead...
"Alright Doc, enough. What is with this silent treatment?" Bugs asked, knowing this isn't normal for Donald.
"It's nothing, I just been thinking of stuff." Donald said, trying to avoid the topic of discussion.
"Don't give me that hunk of baloney, we know that you been silent for sometime. We figure you would tell us on your own, but the fact your still sulking shows you really have something going on don't you?" Bugs stated the facts, Donald look everywhere to avoid eye contact, but couldn't think of any excuse as they knew something is up with Donald. When he said nothing this only prove Bugs this is true, signing once more Bugs tried again.
"Look I get it, you want-"
"NO, no you don't get it. You never had to worry about someone you cared most since everything is always about jokes and stuff. You always crack some smile while looking to the audience as if this was one big joke. Don't tell me you get it Bugs, cause you have no idea what I feel after what happen when our home is invaded, you probably have your own business to worry about so don't lie and act like you care." Donald stomp away as he made no eye contact with them. Bugs started to worry along with everyone in the group, his numbers then glowed for a moment as they showed his numbers increasing from 1,626 to 1,628. Not much of an change since Bugs can seem unaffected by his surroundings at times.
"Now Hold on, that's not fair. We all have been having trouble as of late, so at least you could be glad we have found you at least." Popeye reason with Donald, the others like Jerry and Mr. G&W agreed as well, Bugs seems a little hurt by what Donald said and didn't react much to the situation.
"That's easy for you guys, old time cartoons like you had only one purpose in the show biz, how strong of an punch you throw or how much spinach you can eat from one can, guys like me have actual reasons to be upset when your no longer important to anyone." The others didn't take took kindly to Donald's temper and insulting outburst. Yet unnoticed to everyone, Donald's numbers started to glow and change to higher number from 978 to 1,032 as he continue to insult his friends.
"Whoa hold on, that's going way out of line." Bugs Scolded Donald for his disrespectful comments towards Popeye.
"Oh yeah like you would care since EVERYONE loves Bugs bunny, I wonder why Daffy even left you guys." Donald sarcastically said.
"Look Duck, what has your feather going all nuts on us. What did we do that makes you such as jerk all the sudden!" Bugs demanded he answered them or at least him since it seems like Donald is more angry with him then anyone.
"You want to know, as I said before our home was invaded. Get it OUR HOME, once having protected by most powerful magical items. And even before that even when our castle was taken over it never gotten that bad, sure Pete would achieve his schemes or some arrogant villain may have their victory. But it wasn't permanent because we had some way of getting past that. Especially when Mickey was around to help save the day, but nope that didn't happen. You know what was worse about this time? They not only captured our friends and family, but our home is soon to be sold off as some military base for some wizard named Ganondorf." This information shock them as they didn't know Pete and gang would go this far.
"Wait a minute, your home is being used for some military operation?! But that's your home where you brought joy to other children, why would they turn that into a military base?" Bugs asked.
"I just know what I heard, Pete came to us in his monologue way. Explaining that Bluto not only intend of making himself and others into a super powerful military force, but also wanted to prove how bad they truly are. What was worse is some of our friends were planned to be sold off to some criminals for who knows what. It was only after a desperate attempt from Uncle Scrooge did we escape. But we couldn't escape the same way he did, so he teleported us towards other worlds for who knows what disasters awaits us." Donald paused for a moment to allow this information to sink in as they couldn't help feelings shock by what happen.
"But you wanted to know why I'm really pissed about this stuff. It's because despite us being friends, despite what we been through together and how much we came together in the end. IT'S THE FACT NONE OF YOU WERE THERE TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING!" Donald poured all his rage into one sentence as the others felt like they have been stabbed in the heart by his accusing tone.
"None of you were there when you went on your stupid mission for 2 months away from us. None of you were there when Bluto and gang invaded our homes, Minnie especially tried to call you guys, and you know what. Your probably doing some heroic deed to save the planet or bring back balance for both light and darkness crap Mickey has been doing lately. I was there when it happen and you know what was the worse of it? All of us had to watch Minnie cry her heart to Mickey, even hating how he just runs off doing adventures when he should make time for her. I maybe late for dates with Daisy, but at least I can admit when I did wrong and try to make up for them. Mickey hasn't been that for Minnie. And you know what's worse, he's suppose to be our king and then he runs off leaving only us in charge. Oh sure we done it all the time so that doesn't seem bad, but this is the worse of it. Don't act like those good old days where things go back to normal or how we can fix this no problem..." As Donald started to shout more his own voice started to sound like grumbling to drowning at the same time. You could say his own way of speaking is being mumbled by his own anger.
For the most part they didn't seem to get what Donald is implying towards the end. But what they did hear it seems like things have gotten pretty bad as Luigi had said to them. Yet the way Donald is describing is much worse as he seems to not only be overloaded with unreleased rage, but also acting harshly towards those that could have change the situation. More then likely Donald isn't the only one affected by what happen and they need to gather the others as quick as possible.
"...We're sorry Donald, for not being there-"
"YOU SHOULD BE, cause all of you were suppose to help us when we needed you and none of you did anything about it. So get over yourself and let's get this so-call adventure over with." This only made them more concern as Donald's attitude towards them is becoming more unjustly as he blames them for what happen more and more. But they let this slide as they hope he somehow gets over this anger or they may have to deal with this problem somehow.
Just as they are walking around the corner, they saw Pudge running towards them. Seems to be in some panic as he rushed towards their direction.
"Guys, help! Those monsters are attacking us!" Pudge Exclaimed.
"Where are they?" Popeye asked.
"Over there, but I'm too tried to run." Pudge said between breathing as his exhaustion finally caught up to him. Bugs then pick him as he would then guide them towards the locations that is actually close by just from there. Unaware that Donald's number now increase to about 1,079 as his official number. About 3 or so minutes past, they arrived to see many of the animals including Danny are being attack by the heartless. The heartless seems to have increase in numbers with many of them being around consist of Large Bodies, Shadows, Soldiers, Air Soldiers, Red N, Blue R, Yellow O, Green R, Emerald B, and Fearless Actor/Actress. They appear to surround all the animals, keeping them inside their formed circle to prevent their escape. But for Pudge to escape and somehow reach them is impressive.
"Alright, I just had about enough of these loonatics." Bugs aggressively said as he grab his hammer along with the rest pulling out weapons or taking on stance for battle. Donald being more reluctant about this with rolling eyes and sluggish movement.
"Let's just get this over with." Donald crudely way.
Warning!
Warning!
Protect from darkness attack!
Heartless types inbound:
Shadows, Soldiers, Air Soldiers, Large Body's, Red N, Blue, R, Yellow O, Green R, Emerald B, and Fearless Actor/Actress
vs
Bugs Bunny, Donald Duck, Popeye the Sailor, Jerry the Mouse, Mr. G&W
Mission recuse the animals
Take #21
and
ACTION
Bugs went on ahead to attack the Soldiers as they gathered around to swarm Bugs, without hesitation spun his body like some spinning top as he smashed many of them until he jump after his final spin and slammed on the ground. The Shadows tried to attack him from behind, but have failed as Bugs easily smashed into them with his back swing. Normally Bugs would have some joke or some cartoonish humor towards this fight, yet his current emotion from both the Heartless and Donald's harsh words had soured his emotions to pent up rage. This left him focus as he used his pent up anger towards the heartless as he unmercifully started to take on packs of heartless without care or concern.
Yet Bugs is saved when Donald used his Thundera magic to strike heartless surrounding Bugs. This allowed him to move around as Donald used his magic to assist the others in their respective battles. For Popeye he took on the Large Body's that seemed to block their path towards Danny and the others as he manage to break them free from entrapment.
"Everyone out now!" Popeye exclaimed as Pudge came rushing over to his friend.
"I came with help as quick as I could." Pudge exclaimed hug back his friend.
"Thanks pal, come on." Danny grab him as the others are making their way through one pathways cleared by Donald, Mr. G&W and Popeye as they rushed through the small entrance. With everyone trying to escape thanks to their efforts both Donald and Mr. G&W had to use everything since more and more heartless seemed to appear quickly. Donald used his crowd control magic from Thunder, Aero and Water to shove the heartless away. The Water most affective in splashing the heartless away as he lands blow after blow with ripple affects, Aero for really being destructive as the party members at least knew how to navigate through the mess.
Mist of confusion, Jerry had been on Bug's shoulders as he jump once he was high enough and landed on the first heartless that is nearby, when this happen the heartless started to attack each other as they try and catch that mouse. Then one Air Soldier came down and try to catch Jerry when he was on other soldiers, but instead slash their comrade as Jerry jump onto the Air Soldier without problem as the Air Soldiers started to attack one another. Afterwards the magic heartless of Red, Blue, Yellow came over to try and destroy Jerry.
But like always when fights like these happen in the mist of battle, the heartless would then counterattack as no doubt the Director is commanding them in such ways that counters their own strengths. Popeye is now being more overwhelmed by Heartless of all types swarming him as he couldn't stop them from attacking all sides, Donald notice this but his attacks are then block by each magic heartless. For thunder with Yellow O, Aero for Emerald B, and for Water Blue R, this led to Donald trying other magic to support including cure magic, but that is taken away as the Green R hung over Donald's head. This stump Donald with widen eyes and shock expression.
QUACK! WHAT IS HAPPENING! Donald Shouted in shock at these events.
"We told you already, the Heartless are being led by this new heartless." Bug had to stop while using his hammer, he couldn't afford to use his cartoon tricks as the Fearless Actors and Actress had used his gimmicks against Bugs and out smarted him too! Which is more worrisome as he couldn't keep up now the heartless had adapt to his fighting style.
"YOU MEAN THAT'S TRUE?!" Donald shouted at the news. He nervously smiled at the heartless as they attempt to tackle him. Donald rushed off away from them as he's being chased by Red N, Blue Rh, Yellow O, Green Re, and Emerald B as he's force to run or smack them around, yet is forced to run for his life. The others weren't doing well either as Popeye is slowly being overtaken by the forces surrounding him as each heartless made a grab/claw for him. Others like Mr. G&W weren't able to keep up with this many attacks hitting him at once, the heartless showing great teamwork when guided properly by someone in command.
The Animals for the most part had time to escape before the heartless overwhelmed everyone. But just as all of them left, Danny heard someone screamed as he turned to see Sawyer surrounded by Heartless among the crowd. Danny couldn't just leave without helping her so he rushed over to save her life. But as he did, both Danny and Sawyer are surrounded by Heartless that intend of taking his heart into darkness.
"What are you doing? You can't be here!" Sawyer exclaimed angry that Danny would have risked himself here without some plan or backup.
"I couldn't just leave you here to die, not after I finally got you to dance once again." Danny explained himself as he tried to stand in front of her but couldn't stop the heartless even if he tried. Popeye decided it was time he brought out the spinach and quickly ate some as he went plowing the heartless from strongest to annoying types. But wouldn't make it in time as Danny and Sawyer are being drawn closer to each other while the Camera Cords are recording the dark tragedy that will be shown to heartless kind.
"Why does that matter now, I was fine without you and your hopes for achieving our dreams. Why couldn't you accept that maybe it's impossible?" Sawyer question Danny's logic in these latest actions. Even though this wasn't the time for this conversation, Danny turned to face Sawyer not caring anymore if the heartless attack at his backside.
"Because I... I just wanted everyone to keep their spirits up!" Danny exclaimed that surprise Sawyer, even more the director's cut heartless stop their pursuit as it wanted to feel more dramatic when they are consume by darkness. Danny continued to say, "So what if I had idealist view of the world and yeah I can be reckless and troublesome at times. But what good would it have been if I just sat around or gave up knowing I didn't try seeking for my dreams. I just wanted everyone to know that yes, you will reach a low point. Yet you keep getting back up and start from scratch or work with what you got. It's how my home town keep going when someone was down or out. So while this is different and everything is against us, I still want to keep going no matter the distance." When Danny explained himself, Sawyer couldn't help feel something pulled in her heart, something she once lost years ago when she stayed here for far too long. Her older self would have been teary eyed for this kind of speech, but now she kind of lost all of it, yet somehow this random guy that came to her life has once more brought the spark of chasing your dreams.
She then smiled and said, "Thanks you, it would have been sweet if we weren't in danger for our lives. That and it's corny to say the least."
Danny smiled replying, "Okay yeah, but I didn't think I had this long of an speech considering we could have been killed now." He admits as his thumb points to the heartless.
"I think it has something to do with those weird camera monsters that seemed to enjoy this, that or they wanted this to be dramatic for odd reasons." Sawyer points out as it's true the heartless camera cords are actually recording all of this when Danny said those things. Reasons for this is they craved dramatic cruelty as they record despair and sadness even if they are loving moments. Makes you wonder if people that turned into those monsters were sadistic in one life.
"Well, maybe we can have our practice kiss." Danny joked, but Sawyer took offense to this comment, "Excuse me?" She said staring at him.
"Well-I-ah-mean(Fake cough) What I meant to say is since this will be our last moments we might as well give them a show." Danny nervously smiled, Sawyer smirked as she leaned close to him. As this was happening Bugs and Company who saw this tried to recuse them, but are being overwhelmed as the heartless are winning the fight, with no escape and no easy victory except for defeat. The Director's Cut would call this "Fallen warriors of vanity and dishonorable defeats" as this movie will hit big with the heartless community who enjoy misery and darken emotions of these movies.
"Okay hotshot, I guess you get the girl just this moment." Sawyer leaned in as she took the lead, Danny didn't know how to react as this would be his first kiss with a girl he found pretty in his life. Embracing this as he enjoyed this moment, the heartless recorded enough of this as all of them except for the Camera Cord would record this last moments as two falling in love cats would die in vain.
Before this happen, some of the animals returned as they wanted to do something about what is happening like Pudge, Tillie, Frances, Cranston, T.W. Turtle, and Woolie. They returned once they realize their friends are missing.
"Oh I hope they are okay." Tillie said worried for them.
"They can't be too far." Woolie added hoping himself that they aren't killed.
"I know I said something about that cat, but even this is something no one deserves." Cranston admits showing concern for them.
"Look!" Frances exclaimed, she spotted both Danny and Sawyer as they are about to be killed and... is that kissing.
"DANNY!"
"SAWYER!"
Both Pudge and Woolie cried out as they couldn't do anything about what is happening as T.W. Turtle would add, "Their doomed." With no way of escape they had one moment that could end them. This would be called by Director's Cut "Dark tragedy of failing love and broken hearts", Heartless version of romance and comedy where love always fails and romance always in despair as no one can have love again in the world. For the heartless, this was always easy prey, no one would have the power to escape, no hope of surviving, no friends or love would conquer their darken might as darker forces will have their hearts this day.
But not this time...
Suddenly without warning the heartless tackling Danny and Sawyer are shoved away light filled with power shined greatly. Even the camera Cord is affected by this bright light as it started to break from inside and out as the light from unknown source is enough. This cause many heartless to stop as they sense something is off, when the light died down everyone couldn't believe what they are seeing, especially Bugs and Company as they are looking at Danny with awe at what he's wielding.
"What the heck is that?!" Everyone thought or said reacting to this new development.
It's a Keyblade that Mickey would wield on his adventures. Except this one is different with the teeth shape like a star at the end, from the teeth end to handle seems to show piano keys with three metal bars behind it as they are attach to the mic behind the star. At the handle where Danny's hand grabbing has one hand with in front are small strings for an guitar in dark blue, this keyblade is called Rising Star.
"Wh..." Is all Danny could say at his own surprise wielding the weapon.
"Did... you have something like that before?" Sawyer carefully asked, unsure what to make of the situation.
"IT'S CALLED A KEYBLADE!" Bugs called out to Danny, "USE IT TO FIGHT THESE MONSTERS!" as the battle resume once more, but this time half of all heartless divided their attention towards Danny with his keyblade in hand. Knowing their target is one of the chosen wielders of light, they have to destroy him NOW! But that only would last so shortly as Danny by impulse somehow knew what he must do and started to play instrumental music with both rock and piano solo. When this happen everyone that heard this especially the heartless halted in their tracks. This caused a great daze as the heartless felt something was taking away their sight. This however then resulted into wisp of golden energy flowing towards Sawyer, Pudge, Tillie, Cranston, Frances, T.W. Turtle and Woolie as they felt something inside them as they couldn't help but to one thing, start a BATTLE JAM!
"Whoa what is this?" Cranston said in surprise.
"I don't know, but I feel more energize!" Frances exclaimed, then she jump high enough for her size and somehow sank into the ground. This shock the animals watching Frances able to do this as she started to swim towards the heartless and struck couple of shadows and soldiers, while in midair she did some tricks and swam back down. As the music started to play all of them started to dance to the rhythm but in some dance-fighting combo. Cranston started to tap dance in a way that when he swing his legs in some kicking motion, he would back kick or front kick as more shadow and soldier heartless are being sent back.
More joined their dark brethren as the heartless saw both Danny and others being more threating as... keyblade wielders? They didn't know why, but their instincts are now mixed into confusion and alertness as these animals now have keyblade energy inside them. The others started to attack with... dancing rhythm as each of them offered more then just fighting onto the table. Woolie had rushed over to his piano as he couldn't help but feel the joyful energy into his bones to his soul that was being consume by the darkness.
Before he did return others like Pudge started to ice stake around the battleground as he slam through the heartless that came across him, even the large bodies would slip too close or slammed by Pudge as they fell back stun by the attack. Tillie then started to dance like a ballerina, she would kick some of the air soldiers and Large Body's tried to fight back, but are useless as she would bump, kick and slammed them around including shockwaves as she would jump every now and then. T.W. Turtle would then become braver then before as his own courage is somehow increase by this energize music. He would then charge forward acting as some knight in shining armor, sometimes would slide back into his shell as he would slam into some heartless that would try to fight him.
Right when Danny started to use the keyblade, Sawyer didn't know what to make of this nonsense. Her logic part of her tried to make sense of this, but her other side wanted to accept this and do something about all this mess.
"Danny what are you doing?" She pleaded trying to have some sense what is happening, but then the music energy filled her with dancing energy to the point she could feel like her old self once more. Just as one heartless tried to attack Danny, Sawyer went into action and kick swing as she would then start to dance like she would back in the day. While she had no pattern to her dancing, she had rhythm she would feel like some teenage chasing their dreams. As other heartless tried to attack, Sawyer went in protecting him, but one soldiers went past her, yet Danny went on the move as he swung his keyblade stopping the music for a moment, then return once more as he is focus on the music filling his soul. She stop questioning this as more important matters are at hand.
Once Woolie had reach his piano, when he played the music the heartless that heard him alongside with Danny's music being played started to dance in some groovy way that everyone would dance into the rhythm as they started to take out all the heartless surrounding the area. Bugs and Company had taken on the Red N, Blue Rh, Yellow O, Green Re, Emerald B along with some Actors and Actress that made themselves into heartless, only after being defeated did they change back.
Now that the battle is done, everyone stop for a moment to take in some fresh air as they couldn't believe what they went through just now, "Well... that was neat." Is all Danny could say as some stared at him, as he stood silent understanding the weirdness they have to process.
30 minutes later
Bugs and Company had much to explained, yet the only ones that stayed are Danny, Sawyer, Pudge and Woolie as they stayed to hear what had happen. The others had to return to their normal routine as they felt this fight with the heartless drown their joy of chasing their dreams once more. Danny wasn't happy that this happen, but now is more curious about what happen as it seems Bugs and company are the only people who knew of this... key thing they said.
"I guess you guys have some questions?" Bugs said to them.
"Oh yeah, how about that weird weapon that seems to appear and how Danny was giving us some powers with his music?" Sawyer sarcastically asked, judging by her mood she was in no way leaving until some answers are given. Bugs and Company figure this should be the time to come clean as this would endanger them in the future if nothing is said about this moment.
"...Okay yeah we deserve that treatment. But honestly, we're surprise as much as you guys. I mean how did someone like Danny ever got a keyblade like that." Bugs pointed out what should have been impossible. But apparently they knew very little about keyblades as to what hearts would respond. If anything people like Danny maybe force to leave their world behind if anything happens.
"Is that what this thing is called?" Pudge asked curiously examining it without touching.
"I do say, that is one fine weapon." Woolie then picks it up to examine it closely, but not before it disappears and reappears to Danny's hand surprising everyone.
"What the?!" Danny exclaimed in fright.
"Yeah it kind of does that." Bugs assures them although this doesn't help much as they make themselves more suspicious to those unknowing about these sorts of things.
"Wait, does your friend has something like this? The one that told you about those monsters?" Danny asked having remembered this detail.
"To some degree yes, there are others like our friend, but there kind of scattered around the place either solo travelers or with groups." Bugs stop himself as the others weren't sure what to say to them. When the others left it was more good for them as they didn't want to deal with questions being asked around too much. More then likely when given as short summary of why Danny was able to have such a weapon, left them sour or at least loss at best. But for those that stayed it was obvious they wanted more then what was explained.
Donald grumbled and stood in front of them to explained, "Okay um-"
"Danny"
"Danny, here what's happening. I'm going to be frank here and say that this keyblade you have made you it's chosen wielder. I say this because our... friend has this same experience and has fought many monsters on his own time. But you should know that this keyblade is not something you should just swing around or use all the time. If anything be very careful how you use the keyblade. There are forces in this world that will try to kill you-"
"Okay hold on, could one of you try explaining this instead of him." Sawyer interrupted as everyone felt they couldn't understand him clearly since he spoke in his normal voice.
"Well I did get keyblade, monsters and all about how we shouldn't use it. But the rest I don't get." Woolie admits, this made Donald grumble and shout as he felt very tried of everyone unable to understand his voice correctly.
"Don't mind him, he's just saying be careful with that weapons because monsters will find you easily if you did." Bugs said to them, this made everyone say "Ah" in understanding what they were saying.
"So wait, how come I get something like this? I don't plan on fighting anytime soon. I just wanted to be star, along with my friends." Danny said unsure what this all means.
"Don't blame you, but I think you need to understand that those monsters will come for you when they appear. Just keep that in mind now that you have a keyblade in hand." Bugs said pointing at the keyblade in Danny's hand.
"So what, he's bring more trouble then before?" Sawyer asked now glaring at the group for this non-sense.
"Not for long, cause we're going to the source of these things. That one heartless Director's cut has to be the source of them appearing, we just have to somehow finished off. But we need a plan to surround it so it doesn't attack anyone again." As Popeye said this, someone came sneaking in through their conversations as Buggy slowly walk towards them with greater nervous breakdown. They took notice of him as he slowly approaches them.
"Buggy, your alright. Where have you been, since Donald went living with us?" Bugs asked as he seem greatly connected with Buggy, almost reminding him of his younger days when he first start off. But more so confident, talented and all those sorts of things.
"I a... I had to h-h-hide myself from the m-m-monsters." He said stuttering through his words.
"Makes sense, you do get nervous in moments like that." Donald said checking to see if his friend is hurt in anyway.
"How did you escape from those monsters?" Sawyer asked concern for his well being, everyone could tell he gets very scared or shy around people. But for him to still be here is curious and how he hide himself from the heartless attack.
"I-I-I don't know, I-I-I was hiding in p-p-plane sight. But they d-d-didn't see me. I saw t-t-that everyone was attack a-a-as I was hiding. B-B-But one of them, a-a-appeared to be leading those m-m-monsters." Buggy stuttered explained himself.
"That must be that heartless we been trying to get for sometime." Popeye pointed out, but then everyone is surprise by Danny's next words.
"How about I help you guys out?" Danny suggested, but that made everyone stare at him like he grew second head.
"Hold on cowboy, you already got enough problems as it is now. Can't always promise everyone if your doing all this at once." Sawyer point out he's got his own thing, and fighting is not something he should try on.
"Sawyer's right, you have some dreams of your own. Can't always help others if you can't help yourself." Woolie also agreed with Sawyer.
"Beside, you don't want this life. Fighting those monsters take commitment and sacrifice from your personal life. But if you any better we'll call you if that makes you feel better." Bugs offered, so much to cover and so little to understand. But they figure it be best that Danny has no involvement in this matter. If any of the keyblade wielders outside of this group were to report their findings, they maybe looking at potential problems arising from both sides of light and darkness conflict.
Danny wasn't too convince since this was something he could help, but knew it was probably better if he focus on what going on now instead of every problem he comes along, "Okay, I can accept that. So no using this keyblade and everything will be good?" Danny asked before leaving.
"Yep, if you encounter any monsters, just use that to slay them. But don't abuse the power of the keyblade, the more you use it the more they will hunt you down. Best to use that only when necessary." Popeye told Danny as he would need to know these types of details down the line. The others listen in on this and could see that Danny would have hard times to come.
Sawyer was being more worried then ever, but another thing is mind that they are alive and now she couldn't take back her actions of kissing Danny. Sure it was heat of the moment and she figure they be dead right then and there. But now since Danny hasn't mention this moment she wasn't sure if he felt anything or it was just heat of the moment deal. The others didn't say a thing as well, more likely focus on this topic then her romantic life style.
"Got it, that's actually okay with me. I rather live out my dream as someone who doesn't have to fight monsters or people to achieve something." Danny said with confidence.
"That we can both agree." Bugs then look towards the others and asked, "So mind keeping this secret unless toward people you trust. Because right now you can still have this life, but if you truly feel the need we can teach you somethings. Also know that others outside our friend have this keyblade as well, if you want to live here you must keep your keyblade a secret. Best so they don't recruit you as some new monster hunter against darkness." When asked of this, Pudge look between Danny and the others, while not knowing the context he understand there are others that could mess with Danny and must support his friend when that happens.
"Don't worry my friends, if anyone asked we will keep it secret and safe." Woolie assures them.
"My lips are sealed." Is all Sawyer said looking uninterested even though she is interested.
"Well we better get going, got a lot to think about with this thing. Hopefully you guys get those monsters." Danny said, he would walk off as he wave goodbye to them.
"Don't worry, we should be done with them soon." Bugs assures, but people like Sawyer weren't convince about those monsters, she couldn't say they weren't helpful. If anything she felt there are answers she needed to know but they weren't willing to tell her.
"You got anything to say?" Bugs asked, knowing this wasn't over with them and this matter at hand.
"Nothing, just tell me the full story when you feel like it." Sawyer played out like the cool cat while Bugs and Company felt the cold shoulder blown their way.
"I think we better get going as well." Pudge said as he ran off towards Danny's direction along with Woolie and Buggy leaving the same direction. Things so far in this adventure seem to have really been twisted or awkward among the group. Especially with Donald as his attitude towards them hasn't improve lately. But whatever the case, they need to end this mess very soon.

Darla Dimple's Mansion - Danny, Max and Darla/Next Day
When Danny receive an invitation from Darla Dimple, he couldn't believe what he was hearing. She invited him over as to make up some bad blood there was between them. Danny on his part is more then willing to give some second chances to people even if Darla was mean to him. When he arrived her butler Max greeted him.
"Hello Danny, so good to see you." Darla Greeted while Max simply grunted or growl as his usual self.
"Good to see you Darla, and thanks for the invite." Danny gave his thanks.
"Oh no, it's good that you came over since... well I haven't been the nicest person around." The way Darla spoke is that of someone's innocence and purity radiated from her person. Even with Max glooming appearance, you could say her appearance is enough to bring joy and happiness in the most girlish way.
"Oh yeah." He was silent for a moment as the awkwardness came in from her admitting faults to Darla's behavior, "Well to be frank, I don't hold that much against you. I mean everyone deserves second chances, even when they experience lost in their life." Danny tried to make it sound it was easing in, but he cringe at himself for not being sensitive to the subject. Max started to loom over him with more menacing glare, but...
"It's okay Max, everyone already knows the story. I just wish they didn't talk as much about it now as many would say 'We keep moving forward' As the saying goes." Darla said but showed some disappointment.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have said-"
"No it's okay. Your new around here and I think it needs to be said about what happen back then." Darla then pointed towards one of the rooms where Danny would follow behind. In this room where it's abandon as Max still keep it neat and clean, is where Darla's mother portrait still remains along with her stuff that Darla seems to keep to herself.
"Is that!?" Danny didn't know what to say, other then there was some similarity to both Darla and her mother.
"Yep, still here and watching. You see I have been told sometimes about how I was born, since mother didn't want to mention who the father could be, I can only assume that she had those... moments shall we call it. In fact when she was around she would always hang out with many guys that are both young and old, sometimes she would even bring them to her room. It was around that time she made one mistake and I came here." Darla explained about her background, this had Danny gasp gulping some spit he didn't realize was building up inside his mouth.
"After I came around, she had Max take good care of me. And I can't say I would be where I am if he didn't help around. Why it would have done me no good someone of my age to be sent towards another foster home if Max wasn't my legal guardian." Darla proudly said as she walk through the room towards the other side.
"So that means, Max is your adopted father?" Danny knew what he heard, just wanted to clarify it.
"Godparent if you must know, but something similar to that. And I have to say, it was easy trying to reach the top even when mother was around. She was always look with great admiration and no doubt some appeal as well. Honestly when she passed away, I didn't feel much for her death, since most of the time she didn't pay attention or cared about my feelings. I guess to some degree, I just needed attention since my mother couldn't give some love to me, so instead I seek love from my adoring fans." This made Danny sad at this fact, while many of the animals had always been saying she's evil, he couldn't help feel that she had her reasons why acting this way. What he heard shows she just didn't want to lose attention to anyone, even if they are co-stars in films.
"Gosh Darla, that's awful. I wouldn't know what would happen if anybody's mother didn't love their children." Danny said expressing his sympathy towards her.
"And I appreciate it Danny. When you reach the top, sometimes you just don't want to lose what you earn reaching there. Just always be aware who your running into and how you move around in the world." Darla gave some friendly advice, although if it was any good is more debatable since that would concerning if they
After some discussions about themselves as Darla appeared nice and gentle, there was the subject of their own ideas about how the films can be improved and such. In fact you could say they are oddly making short conversations. It's most weird considering that Darla isn't well known for these talks or interaction with animals. While Darla shared some of her stories, Danny offered some ideas that could improve the film business. Hearing this Darla's face would twitch and turn from listening to him, but then just as it seems she would break apart as he continued.
"Do you think it's a good idea?" Danny asked, wanting some personal opinions from a professional like Darla Dimple.
"Hmm, you want my advice? Well there is one thing..." Soon everything in the room change into a stage while she laid on a piano as Max sat down to play a little song for Darla to sing.
Cats Don't Dance song: Big and Loud
I seen them come and I seen them go.
There's one thing that I know,
You gotta to give the people what they want,
or you'll wind up back on Kokomo Nebraska.
Uh Indiana Miss Dimple(Danny)
Whatever(Darla)
They like it big and like it loud,
maybe a little bit jazzy sometimes,
Mr. Pussycat listen to me,
you don't have to be good,
but you had better be~
Get Hot Miss Dimple(Max)
Throughout the song Darla had sung and dance on the piano. Where she showed what she's capable of preforming on stage and anywhere when putting effort into it. While it was slow it set the mood for Darla's point as she wanted Danny to understand what she's saying to him. But that would change towards the end as the stage showed what could be a large wedding cake, filled with hearts in pink and rad. Added with different men always smiling with what can describe as creepy grins wearing golden suits and blue hats. She point as it showed how through her careers as movie star she made herself bigger and louder then everyone in Hollywood. The men did what is needed of them without her commanding as they have practice this song likely many times over the years she reign. When it came to an end, everything change back to the mansion Danny is visiting as he became inspired by her performance to do the same.
BIG AND LOUD!
Big and Loud!
Gonna make your Mama proud,
when your big,
and~
LOUD!~
"Leaves you speechless doesn't it." Darla Dimple asked yet knows the answer.
Moment later Danny is ready himself to leave, but not before she offered him a small meal since it was near that time just to show her guest a good time. Hard to say if she really is evil or she pretended as she appears to everyone. But Danny is more convince she's just a misunderstood girl with her own issues. Of course that can be Danny's own naive view of the world, but even then doesn't always hurt to try and connect with people.
"Thanks for having me over Miss Dimple." Danny appreciate what Darla did for him.
"Oh thank you for coming over. I know that there have been some... fiction between me and everyone that would have said I'm a bad person. But I'm thankful for your understanding and hope everyone can finally see the real me that you have today." Darla said being sincere.
"You certainly showed me, and thanks for the advice. I couldn't have done made this decision without your help." Danny said to Darla. Right as he was leaving, Danny had to look twice when he left the room and towards the exit seeing Max somehow be two places at once. Maybe it's his imagination, but probably left unspoken.
"Oh think nothing of it, but if you don't mind. Could you keep this between you and me, after all this is your big moments in Hollywood, would be better to show it's more your idea then my own." Darla asked to keep what is spoken between the two of them.
"Of yes, I can do that. Honestly I got to say it was nice getting to know the real you then what others have said before. " Danny said as he started to make his way towards the door.
"Well you did give me a chance, and I have to say it's nice for once to know who I am. Keep following your dreams and someday you will make it." Darla replied back with a smile bright as sun reflection.
"You take care Miss Darla." Danny waved as he walk out.
"Ta ta, see you in the movies." Darla brightly said, when the door closed she waited for a bit so he's out of ear shot and called out, "Oh Director's Cut." Then the heartless that gave Bugs and Company trouble has appeared with Camera Cords hanging behind him.
"Did you happen to get everything you need about those so called Exterminators?" She said still smiling, as the Director showed recording of all the fighting that has happen through the days they been here.
"Excellent, then you have the stage set?" She asked once more, which the Heartless nodded in responds.
"Good, I want everything set for those fools who have been... annoyance as of late." She then have Max got her phone and called on someone.
Publicity Department
" Is L.B.'s Big press still Friday at 3?" Darla asked.
Yes it is Miss Dimple
"Oh thank you so much, HA!" She then slammed the phone hanging up, as she revealed without any witness her true colors. For the Spoiled Brat she still is and how her deeds are starting to show. As she laugh walking to her make up room, Director's Cut showed recordings of other movie stars that have vanished, all of them turned into heartless as tragedy, horror, villainous victorious and other bad ending as the Director's Cut has for long while work as Darla's Dark Director. Killing the stars to make herself higher then anyone. Through this bright star, she will be the dark angel of Hollywood as the light will also be shaded in gray without anyone opposing her top spot, always on top, always the best.
Cats Don't Dance song: Big and Loud Respite
I didn't get where I am today,
by letting myself get pushed around.
No man, no beast, no Bunny, no Mouse, no kitty, or Doggy,
is going to drag me down.
Shut up, Max.
At the start of her true song, she reveals her true colors as Max helps prep. her hair to make them the way they are made. She would then start to use lip stick to draw Danny and Sawyer in her heart shape trap, while Bugs and Company are drawn surrounded by heartless stick figures. Then her imagination would take form as she would imagine how this will play out.
The World, will admire me.
The Audience, will know me.
They won't know what hit them,
wait until they see what I have in store...
BIG AND LOUD!
It will be Big and Loud,
so many will know who I am.
For only I am Big!
For only I am Loud!
No one can be Big and Loud!
In her imagination, she imagine Bugs and Company that had stood in her way. But then she would bare witness to Director's Cut recording it's latest movie as shadowy figures appeared and ambush them. They would obviously overpower them as they struggle in their skirmish, she would then show herself enlarged and in charge as she shouts Big and Loud. As more and more heartless showed up, they started to be taken down one by one as their hearts are stolen and turned into Heartless.
(Instrumental Sad Music playing)
Everything returns to reality as Darla gave her own thoughts, "You know max, I remember a time when mother was around. All those time I admired her, tried to gain her attention. And for what, to find she only cared for herself and her imagine. She despise the fact that I was born, you were there to hear it. She became addicted to drugs, alcohol, even had other guys over when I didn't even know who my father was back then. She would sometimes smack me back, disgusted that I was born from her wild nights, but she did kept me around. Until she died and I was left alone. But now I sorta understood why she became a movie star. Because she was loved most by her fans and those around her. So now, I will be that star, and I will be bigger, better, LOUDER AND ALL AROUND ADORED! IF ANYONE DARES TO TAKE MY TOP SPOT, I WILL HAVE THEM BEGGING IN THE STREETS FOR DEATH, for only I am star!"
My mother was once a star for all to see,
yet none will ever look at me.
But now I can do more then she can,
and prove who is truly the star!
She would then removed Bugs and Company from the mirror she is using to draw, and have them replaced as heartless serving her like some slave. Some imagines had her forcing them to do ridiculous and mockery that she then focus more on Danny and Sawyer, as her imagination went wild.
The Lightning will be flashing!
The Thunder it will roar!
They'll never see it now,
But soon they will know what I can do!
BIG AND LOUD!
It will be Big and Loud!
When they fall they'll really fall!
And they gonna fall big!
And they're gonna fall loud!
They're gonna fall big and...
Shut up, Max.
LOUD!
When Danny and Sawyer appeared in her imagination, they are surrounded in a dark environment with heart shape spears that surrounds them. She would appear only as eyes and mouth, then as they ran giant explosion happens as she appears replacing the mushroom cloud as both ran for their lives. But then are trapped as the ground fell apart as some heart shape ground. When all the ground pieces crumbled, they fell into waters that drag them into some waterfall as they are drag down into whirlpool drowning into the depths of her imagination of death. When return to reality Max is finally ready to do her hair as she looks at the mirror with an evil glee as darkness consume her with only the eyes being shown.

Bugs and Company/3 Days later
"Are you sure about following us. We have encounter some heartless already and we're not exactly the safest people to be around." Popeye asked Buggy who is joining them today.
"I know y-y-your fighting monsters and a-a-all that. But you guys a-a-are the only safest p-p-place if they come b-b-back." Buggy said, actually improving on his speech. It wasn't that he had trouble speaking, but more so he's extremely nervous and couldn't find the courage to speak his mind properly, which is why he actually stutters much.
"Don't worry about it. Stick with me and I'll keep you safe." Donald said to Buggy, who smiled at this and grateful for Donald's help when he arrived at Hollywood.
As Bugs and Company walking through Hollywood, it seems everything is more quiet then normal. Not quiet as in there was no activities, but more so that the heartless behavior at the moment is suspicious to say the least. Another thing has them is Buggy actually staying with the group this time around. Mostly because he's scared of the monsters and is nervous around people he doesn't know so well. Bugs had to stop himself from reacting to his way of talking as it reminded him of how Porky Pig talks. They tried to convince him to leave for his good. But Donald seems to have some bond with Buggy.
When Donald is with Buggy, the two of them seemed together for sometime. Bugs and Company didn't know what to do with Donald since he remain quiet while they are on this world. But what is worrying them is how their relationship with Donald has been rocky as of late. If anything there might be resentment towards them and Mickey for leaving them this long, not being around when Bluto and Pete somehow manage to take their world. Bugs felt really bad about this as the others too. He had some thoughts but didn't know what to say to Donald or when it's right to talk with him. If anything taking out this heartless comes first then personal feeling, after all he always focus on his goals ignoring everything and everyone even in show biz, so why not do that for a little bit more.
"I don't think we can do that if a fight comes around." Popeye stated the reality of the situation, yet Donald wasn't having any of it.
"No way am I leaving him, Buggy needs someone to watch his back. I can't just leave him alone while those monsters are around." Donald counter argued as he stood in front of Buggy as his protective shield. The others weren't sure if they could convince Donald to let Buggy go for now. If anything they are more worried then ever if something were to happen Buggy would be caught in the crossfire. Bugs then realize that moment when he thought like that, he wasn't thinking of his friends concern and just himself. Maybe... that's what led him to losing those he cared about in the first place.
Shaking his head, Bugs knew he had to have this talk with him now. If not then when, so stepping up Bugs stood beside the others looking at Donald to say, "Hey Donald, can we... talk in private?" Bugs asked Donald as this caught everyone about this random question.
"Does this have to happen now?" Donald annoyingly asked, trying to defend his new friend from the others.
"Actually yes, because there is something I need to say, something... that needs to be said." Bugs urge Donald to at least give them a moment. With a sigh Donald agrees, as Buggy and the others walk off, Bugs now takes this time to speak with Donald in private where he wanted to say something about what Donald had said. Now is the time to finally get those feelings out.
Just as they left Popeye, Jerry and Mr. G&W stayed behind to make sure Buggy didn't get hurt or attack by the heartless.
"So Buggy, you like Hollywood?" Popeye started, unsure what he should have said.
Donald and Bugs private conversation
"You have something you want to say?" Donald asked and waited for Bugs to say something, but not without commenting, "If it's about Buggy, then I won't agree. I'm sticking with him until these monsters are gone. I can't just leave the way things are at the moment." Bugs didn't say anything, but he agreed. With the heartless around no one is truly safe and some people will be loss.
"I'm not going to say anything about that. But what I do want to say is more so about what you said that one time, about us not being there?" Bugs said straight to the point, this made Donald quiet as he realize what Bugs is actually saying, but look away as he didn't want to hear anything from him.
(Sigh)"Donald I have no words to describe how sorry I am. And your right about some of things you said, your also wrong in some aspects. Look I want to say we could have been there for you and your right to feel mad about it. But I like to speak for everyone about our adventure that it wasn't as easy as you think. We lost our gummi ship as soon as we landed on that world and we couldn't rebuild our ship like before." Bugs waited for a moment to see if Donald would respond, but he didn't which only made this feel worse then before. Bugs sigh feeling more depress about what is happening.
"I'm sorry... I'm really, really sorry. And if Mickey were here he would be sorry too." Bugs at least hope there be something, but once again silence as Donald ignored him.
"Maybe you don't believe me, but I want to say that I should have been a better friend to you and everyone. I just found in our last adventures traveling the worlds as we gathered everyone that we have been going at random. It's weird, but it took forever if Mickey didn't help us using those old methods of traveling. He would try to help everyone and not consider those he has as friends. I don't have many friends I know as much, some that I annoyed or made fun of are the bad guys. Daffy is no doubt leading the charge as he's most likely have people I did back then in show biz." Bugs struggle to say the next words because what he wants to say is from the heart and for once isn't joking about it. But it's hard for him as the real world and his in-character as cartoon being have him going back and forth against his cartoon character and character development.
Bugs took this moment to look at the audience to say, "Life sucks don't it?" As he returns back to finally say something, "I don't know if you know this, but when I behave the way I do all the time. It's not because I don't care, that's far from the truth. If anything I just... was too prideful to admit my faults." This gain small attention as Donald turned his head actually hearing Bugs admit he did something wrong for once. While yes he has done plenty of wrongs in his time show biz and out, he just wouldn't outright say he was wrong or has done wrong. While he could apologize or say he's sorry, his attitude would have remained the same. Yet here for once Bugs says something that is out of character.
"When our time came to close, I stick around when the new guy showed up. Every now and then those replacement made me cringe or gag as I couldn't stand their performance or just didn't like their style. But the point is I still behave as if I was in show biz, this of course got into other people's skin like Daffy, Elmer Fudd, Yosemate Sam, and Marvin the Martian. So we went on our separate ways and Mickey got his keyblade responsibilities now. (sigh) I should have been more nicer to them. But instead I... I acted like some Hollywood jerk that everyone thinks is cool but isn't. I guess what I'm trying to say is yes we should have been there, but don't shove us away when... we could have talk about it." Bug said very slowly towards the end, realizing how much trouble he cause in the years. Yes he's good as being who he is most of the time, but things have gotten pretty bad since then.
"You can stop now." Donald finally said, as he face Bugs with sadness in his eyes.
"I'm also sorry, for not being reasonable. I just am tired of how we are living now and how moments like this had really hurt. I can't remember when we had been hit this hard, but the fact it happen must mean we been too used to this sorts of mess too much, yet fail when we truly need to be ready. If I'm being honest we myself... I just wanted to let off some steam and anger I had to see. I'm sorry for putting you on the spot, your good friends no matter what." Donald said smiling softly as he was ready to forgive and forget.
"You mean too much to me, maybe something that should have been said before all this happen, thank you Donald." Bugs said smiling back as the two hug each other patting each other backs for a moment. Then their numbers started to glow, Donald number of 1,079 change into 1,018, while Bugs number of 1,628 to 1,564 as both of them started to take this moment to understand one another.
"What's this?" Donald asked seeing the number decrease.
"I don't know? But if you must know, while we aren't using the gummi ship, we are using this." Bugs pulled out the key. Donald more or less had seen this key, yet he didn't really care at the time, now that they settle things Donald took closer examination and starts to see what Bugs has in hand.
"Odd enough, we been using this to travel from one place to another. But at the same time we been randomly appearing to many worlds without any way to control it." Bugs explain, this made some sense to Donald as he realize they were without an ship. Making feel regret for blaming and shouting at them like that.
"...Guess that explains why you don't have your gummi ship. Does that mean your stuck randomly appearing on worlds without some way to control it?" Donald asked.
"Afraid so, we been doing this since we first got one. We even have been asked to collect all of them scattered around the worlds." Bugs explained what happen and what they are doing now.
"So how many are we talking? 10, 20-" Bugs then leans forward and explained to Donald how many there are with this keys, "QUACK! 3,888 keys!"
"I know right, I mean how are they scattered in worlds with that many keys. You would think there be some better way of gathering them instead of traveling one world at a time." Bugs said, before they could say more they heard some shouting from the others and rushed over to see what had happen. When they arrived they saw Popeye, Mr. G&W and Jerry being dragged into some dark portal. The only one that stayed away was Buggy as he look terrified by what he's seeing. Bugs and Donald glance at each other nodding, then rushed over as they knew their friends need them. But before they could, Bugs and Donald are then dragged down before they could escape.
"O-O-Oh no! I better go get h-h-help." Buggy then ran off as he had to find somebody to save them from the heartless.

Shadow Movie Set - Director's Cut Realm
When Bugs and Company arrived, they had their weapons or abilities on the ready. But what they didn't expect was Director's Cut to appear to them all ready for them.
"Well, well, well looks like we can finally finish this fight once and for all." Popeye said smirking.
"You said it Pop." Bugs then brought out his hammer as he smirk as well, "It's time to fire the Director." Bugs took a moment to look at the audience to say, "I know bad joke."
But while the Director's Cut seems uninterested, four fearless Actors appeared and change formed into dark counterparts of Bugs and Company. The first Heartless appears to have very long rabbit ears in purple, almost like whips with two hammers on both sides twice as large then Bug's own hammer. It's appearance almost seem like some humanoid costume in purple with fake black eyes as the darkest abyss and heartless eyes in the mouth of this abomination. The name of this heartless is called "Rabid Raiders" as the heartless symbol appears on it's chest.
The Second has large muscles that seems like some Heavy Weight Champion with larger then life hands that can smash walls like some car drove through them. It's appearance has Light blue skin with muscle all over, small waist and feet like some cartoon character in dark blue shorts and shoes, the head is small wearing boxer's protection gear with two yellow eyes shown. The name of this heartless is called "Grand Strangler" with the heartless symbol at the abs.
The Third beside the first heartless appears to be chubby, overweight as the belly sticks out. Having a green T-shirt with heartless symbol on it and long gray pants alongside red sneakers untied. It has glasses that seemed to fall off every now and then, having one gamer control on the right side and cellphone on the left side. Behind it has one lab top computer to carry around in the backpack filled with science and comic books. The skin is pale green with some gray skin mixed together, along with yellow eyes. the name of this heartless is called "Nerd Freak" as it seems bored and uninterested.
Lastly the fourth heartless that appeared had more of an mechanical appearance, yet the heartless also felt like somehow has been shoved inside a mechanical body without permission. For without the heartless body parts it would have appear machinery without any skin to cover the mechanical parts. Yet some fragments remain in some form of rotting duck, with some mechanical parts showing at the arms and legs while the heartless parts are covering the main body. The head has one good eye while the other is machinery from the inside. Colored in white fake feathers with moldy brown duck bill, metal parts in gray with leaking Magenta along with dark green rubber that is the heartless skin. The name of the Heartless is called "Duck Fantastic!", carrying two batons for the fight.
All five of them look at their counterparts gulping and Ew for the heartless appearance.
"Oh crud, at least we're toget-" Bugs is interrupted as he speak to the others, Rabid Raider then smack him away before anyone could think more. Bugs is struck blinded most quickly before he could react, this wasn't done in slow motion but instead made by the first heartless counterparts Rabid Raiders as it used cartoon abilities to smack Bugs away without any reaction like some dark comedy. When the others reacted on time, they are also blinded sided as well. Popeye had to receive first punch at his stomach and chest the size of Grand Strangler's punch, Donald used is hit by the baton, smacking him away as he cast reflect spell only for him to exploded inside the dome barrier as Duck Fantastic used it's own magic spell against him. Mr. G&W is hit by himself and transformed into various forms by Nerd Freak using video game controls.
"Of course you realize, this means war!" Bugs exclaimed as he and the others prepared themselves to face their counterparts.
The Director's Cut watch as the camera cords recording everything. It stood up and brought out it's megaphone to shout in heartless language that is silent words saying, Lights! Camera! ACTION!
Warning!
Warning!
Imposters engaged!
Destroy them!

As such close combat with this thing can be worse nightmare or fighting from distance could be easily worse.
Take #68
and
ACTION!
Once the battle started Bugs and Rabid went at each other's throats, literally. Bugs would swing his hammer and smack the Rabid Raider, in turn it would smack around Bugs twice more each time. Through this exchange Bugs tried to swat the hammer away with some effort on his end. But this only became repetitive as they are most likely exchanging blows of ego to their face. Bugs had enough and both started to take their fight much more seriously as they used their respective hammers/mallets to bash their own weapons as they bounce off when collide. Bugs had to put twice the effort into this fight as he couldn't exactly do anything against this monster without getting hit.
When Bugs jump back he enlarge his hammer, jump up and planned on slamming down on Rabid Raider. But this plan failed as it saw it coming and manage to easily enlarge its own hammer to match Bug's power, while using the second hammer to smack Bugs at his left side from the right swing. As Bugs flew off, the others weren't doing great as well. Popeye is smack away more times then he could count since the start of this fight. He tried to match the Grand Strangler with his own punches, only to feel his arm snap and twisted as his body is flung back against the wall away from where Bugs landed.
Soon the Grand Strangler would grab Popeye and change his body into that of some baseball, he would then used its muscle to throw towards Mr. G&W, smacking Popeye with it's hammer as Nerd Freak controlled it's every move. This would then exchange into a tennis match as Grand Strangler would use it's fist to bash around Popeye in it's ball form. The exchange increase speed and too fast for anyone to see as both of them are messing with Popeye and Mr. G&W without effort. Donald isn't doing so hot either as he tried to counter the magic being thrown at him. Using every trick in the book, Donald used some of the magic he learned from his time to traveling with King Mickey. Using Gravity to slow it down as he would then change to stop magic to slow it down. Only for Duck Fantastic to counter them using his second wand as some magic drain using abilities Donald wouldn't have seen from a heartless.
The exchange here came down to attack and counter as two sides tried to out best the magic users. Donald would then use complicated magic that is forms not used or seen often. From using blizzard magic that froze the ground only for the counter by Duck Fantastic to use Aero to jump and slam down to crack the ice with Earth Magic. To Slow magic that would have hit Donald if he didn't used Esuna magic to take away negative effects on his person. To throwing tornado combine with Ice magic that is blasted around the field and towards one enemy, only for it to be negated by Zero gravity as Duck Fantastic used two sets of magic from Thunder combine with Bind as Donald is force to use reflect.
Overall the two magic users are using every trick in the book, yet when you start to notice the two users and magic powers. You find Duck Fantastic is actually stronger magic user as it uses the darkness to enhance the magic twice more then average magic. This left Donald with some attacks he couldn't stop or deflect as he had no choice but to run and dodge them, if only for how long. As this happens Jerry seems to be the only one without any counterpart of his own. Using his size to advantage, Jerry quickly and without being seen towards the Director's Cut as the only heartless that isn't affected by the battle.
The others however...
"This isn't working." Bugs said, but then shouted in surprise as he had to avoid items falling from the sky from Rabid Raider using cartoon logic on its side. Some of these items and randomness are pianos, firetrucks, black holes on the ground, pretty much everything that would drive a person mad into insanity.
"Does anyone have any suggestion to defeat these guys?!" Bugs exclaimed wanting at least some help to defeat these guys.
"What do you suggest?" Donald running for his life as the darken magic are starting to overpower him.
"Switch!" Bugs exclaimed, the two would then run towards each other so they can switch partners. Yet that only made things worse as Duck Fantastic ends up stronger then Donald shooting magic at Bugs without any defense. Same happen with Donald as he tried to cast some magic, only for all of it blown at his face like sticks of dynamite blown up in his hand or missed fired guns. When Bugs and Donald recovered, they showed some exhaustion as they couldn't stop these monsters from attacking them or way to counter.
"Any other bright ideas?" Donald sarcastically asked knowing the answer.
"I have some, but your not going to like them. And to be frank I don't think it will work anyway." Bugs admits, as they stood ready for action.
With Jerry he finally made his way towards the Director's Cut. Acting like some human who enjoys the suffering of others. As the camera Cords are recording the shots, Jerry did what he does best and mess with some people. He went towards what appears to be some Heartless clothes, and started to climb from the insides. This made Director's Cut jump panicking as Jerry went all around the heartless body. Trying to remove Jerry, the Camera Cords are able to see this and started to take attack Director's Cut in ways that would have broken some bones. Jerry then crawled on top of its head, as the heartless tried to take down Jerry only for them to attack Director's Cut to the point of destruction as Jerry finished it off by jumping high and slammed down on it's head. When this happen the Camera Cords are then confused as they didn't know what happen, only for Jerry to jump on one of them.
Grand Strangler had started to use Popeye as it's personal weight lift tool, as Nerd Freak just lazed around and made fun of Mr. G&W by making him do things anyone would find embarrassing. But when Nerd Freak turned to see the Director's Cut destroyed. This raised some alarms as Nerd Freak then forced control Mr. G&W to attack whatever is there. Assuming the attacker is invisible Mr. G&W attacks all the Camera Cords by Nerd Freak's command. What it didn't realize in doing this Jerry jump on Mr. G&W's back hiding himself as he walk over toward him as Nerd Freak figure the threat is dealt with now. However just as Mr. G&W is close enough, Jerry jump from his hiding spot and grab onto the Nerd Freak's shirt above the expose belly. As the heartless freak out commanding Mr. G&W to attack Jerry. Yet this led to Nerd Freak getting punch and kick once he lost control of Mr. G&W. Now free he quickly destroyed the Nerd Freak as it took less effort without controlling his movements.
Once this was done, Mr. G&W thank Jerry for his assistance. Then they rushed over to the nearest person that needs their help, more accurately Popeye as he is still used as some sport practice tool, now currently soccer ball as Popeye is able to endure this much punishment. Just as they got close, the Grand Strangler notice them and used Popeye's own body to smack them away. This led to Mr. G&W using hammer form to smack Popeye around, which on the side not has to apologize for that. But in only 7 swings Mr. G&W hit Popeye in a way that's a curve ball smacking Grand Strangler as he missed his shot defending himself. With that Mr. G&W and Jerry charge at the Grand Strangler while Popeye unwind himself.
"Did someone get that license plate on that bus?" He said dazed around, but then shook himself awake as he took in the situation and glared with heated flames as he glowed like a tomato at Grand Strangler.
"I'll fix his wagon." Popeye got out his spinach to increase his strength. With this he would charge the Grand Strangler that is giving Mr. G&W hard time as he couldn't get close for Jerry to jump on the heartless. But before the heartless could grab them, Popeye came in with vengeance as he punch Grand Strangler at the face with all his might. This sent Grand Strangler flying as Popeye charge in to finish the fight. Seeing this is taken care of Mr. G&W and Jerry went off to tackle another problem. More accurately two of them since Bugs and Donald are still trying to figure out how to take them both out.
In the fight since switching, the battle had gotten worse as Bugs couldn't stop the many attacks from Duck Fantastic attacking him too much. Much of this is with Duck Fantastic magic that is taking out any trick Bugs would throw at him. While Donald has some handle is equally frustrated as he couldn't take out Rabid Raider with much tricks under it's sleeve. When Mr. G&W came to the rescue, Jerry manage to jump and used all his might to use his karate chop at the neck. While Jerry is capable of such feats, his size and body do matter, using all his energy to even match the strength and size of his opponents. This gave Bugs enough chance to strike at Duck Fantastic, he went close quarters at the heartless with Jerry using all his strength to knock it out or confused by his attacks as Bugs would finish it with his enlarge hammer to smash Duck Fantastic into oblivion. Same with Donald as Mr. G&W came in unexpectedly as this gave Donald all he had left of his magic and close quarter combat to finish the heartless off. Now with all of the heartless gone, they took a breather as they knew they had achieve victory over that heartless that annoyed them for days.
"FINALLY, we won!" Bugs exclaimed, feeling tired and bruised by what happen. He even took his green box carrot that allows him healing his wounds even if they are slow.
"Do you mind-" Donald began to asked, but Bugs already knew what he's asking, "Sure why now." Soon everyone grab his special carrots, feeling somewhat better then before.
"Surprise that your carrots have healing properties. Did you make these yourself?" Popeye asked as they lay down.
"Nah, they were actually made when I did that short of becoming Super Bunny. I asked a favor in Toon Town and he made me these carrots that can do multiple things." Bugs explained as he and the others relax. However something happen as they are then sent away from the dark room, where they ended up would be anyone's guess. When returning they found themselves underwater. Quickly swimming towards the surface, they found that the entire studios is under water.
"What the heck?!" Donald shouted surprise by all this.
"GUY! HELP!" When they heard this at least couple of times, they recognize the voice in distress.
"It's Buggy, he needs our help." Bugs said as he swam towards the voice along with everyone following behind. It took some effort on their end, but they eventually made it towards Buggy's location. Yet just as they made it, they are then picked up and tossed aside as someone manage to sneak attack them. It was Darla's Butler Max who grab them together and toss them aside with Buggy in one hand threating his life. Although they tried to fight him, they are too weak and tired from their heartless battle that has them running on their last leg.
"Well, well, well, looks like my Director has been destroyed." When they heard this, everyone look to see Darla standing beside Max grinning with her false innocence.
"I should have known you lot would have survive my trap, but at least the Director took care of most of my problems. And I even have his own movie collection." Darla showing one of the finished movies from the heartless which is weird of itself for Bugs and Company.
"We should have guessed you controlled them, but to actually turn others into heartless?" Even though Bugs had some idea that someone is controlling the heartless. To find it was Darla who is evil for her age, and also a murder for what she had done to them.
"Truth be told, they did try to take my heart. But I guess they soon found I was worthy of their control, when I saw them couple months ago I didn't know what to expect from these monsters you call heartless. Then I saw one of them turn someone into those monsters, that's when I had the brilliant idea of getting rid of all the movie stars and leave only me as the only star everyone would look towards. Then the animals came along, but thanks to my special pussycat. They won't be a problem anymore, which leaves you lot to deal with now."
Then her face turned into a scowl to show her true personality towards them, "You and your annoying friends had to get involved and destroy them along with my plans. Which made things annoying to somehow beat you. But then my Director had a habit of recording people and made some of them turned into dark counterparts of people. So even though your still alive, it look like it did his job and now. We're going to finish it." Popeye then tried to stop them, but is knock aside into the waters. Donald tried to use some magic, but realize he's out of juice and is knock aside as well. Jerry had rushed unseen by Darla and Max towards Buggy as Mr. G&W is knock aside. Now Bugs being the last look up as Max look down and suddenly grab Bugs pulling him up towards his face.
"how does a bunny rabbit go?" Max demands.
"Eh, what's up Doc?" Bugs said sheepishly.
"INCORRECT!" With only his thumb, slammed Bugs through the roof as he has to swim for his life like the others.
"Now that they are done, I will have those four fired and finally get back to business." She smiled triumphantly. Buggy made his escape as he and Jerry swam for their lives as the waters finally lowered down as Hollywood seems okay, but damage to some degree.
"Are you o-o-okay?" Buggy asked Jerry, who is shaking off the water from his fur, yet gave a thumbs up saying yes.
"We should h-h-help your friends." Buggy suggested, but Jerry shook his head saying no. He then gave some sign language to inform Buggy to tell Danny about what is happening.
"Your s-s-sure we should be doing that? Aren't you w-w-worried about your friends?" Buggy asked, Jerry shook no and is showing confidents in them.
"Okay i-i-if that's how you feel, t-t-then we should find D-D-Danny and get him h-h-here." Buggy said, both then went off as the others are no doubt trying to regather themselves from different place. We leave seeing Bugs, Popeye, Donald and Mr. G&W get back up and will have to recover quickly if they have any chance to stop Darla from her plans.

Outside of Hollywood - Danny's Apartment
Today just couldn't get any worse, in fact you could say everything fell apart because of him. The first this happen was when the day came for him to make his performance by taking on Darla's advice is when things went downhill. In fact it replayed the same way as when he first started and that is saying something. Yet this time they had to somehow survive from a flood by actually riding an prop ark like Noah in the past. But even worse he and the others ended up getting fired because of this mess. Which then things got worse as they are all kick out because Darla set him up for the fall. If anything everything happen because of him and it's his fault for allowing Darla to use him this way.
This combine with his good intentions now shown as some bad way really hurt his relationship he built this month. If anything he's honestly surprise with himself how badly he screwed up and how everyone now has no job, no life, no career as their dream job. Just... he couldn't even thought of it without sighing to himself. As he pack his stuff he felt he should return home, not as the star he dreamed as a child, but a failure who truly messed up.
Past Memories
At a young age before entering his teenage years. He remember his time watching the movies, remembered how the movies he watch are filled with great action, drama, excitement, he couldn't take his eyes away as he watch intensely towards the screen. He watch the whole movie even if there was noise around him or when they tried to get his attention. But one day Danny thought of something, he wondered how they preform such actions and styles that are so great by the movies. His mother had that talk about how they aren't real but are for entertainment. Many of the movies had some creative graphics while the people are great actors. So he wonder how did they preform so greatly in the movies. The Young Danny one day walk up to his mother, who is busy cleaning the house. When she saw him, she stop herself and gain his full attention.
"Is something the matter Danny?" His mother asked.
"Mom... can I asked you a question? About those actors in the movies?" Danny asked shyly, twiddling his fingers somewhat. She kneel down to his eye level and said, "Sure Danny, what do you want to asked?"
"About those actor, how did they preform so great in those movies? Like did they had some effects or how those people knew those lines so well?" Is Danny's question. She look at his curious eyes as he asked, then she explained with a smile, "Well they had practice Danny, they had to make sure everything is accurate and right before releasing them into theater or the public. In fact some actors had to work themselves to the bone they even had to get hurt for the part. That's what we call talent, it takes time and skills to reach such a place, but those people in the movies had made it big and they made sure everyone heard them."
When she finished this explanation Danny then thought of something, "Could everyone be a star?" He asked with inspired by those movies. While his eyes are filled with hope, his mother softly smiled and hug him gentle as she said, "Yes you can." While in truth she may not have been convince and Danny did see her expression, she wanted what was best for him. As any parent wants their children to succeed and led a straight life.
Present times
Danny wipe away some of the tears in his eyes as he remembered that day, "Oh Mom, I'm sorry... for letting you down." He softly said, as he went off packing his remaining stuff, and leaving the building he is soon stop by Buggy out of breath and worried in his eyes.
"Buggy? What are you doing here?" Danny asked having seen Buggy at least couple of times, even though he hasn't hang out with him much, Danny tries to be friendly and know everyone names the best he can.
"I... I had to stop you." Buggy said out of breath, once he recovered he look at Danny and knew he had to speak clearly without too much stuttering.
"Darla is planning on k-k-killing the movie stars!" Buggy blurted out, but then took some deep breaths as Danny couldn't believe what he's hearing.
"What?!" Is all he could say horrified by what Buggy is saying.
"It's true, I h-h-heard her say it. When that f-f-flood happen, she had said the monsters s-s-she summoned them to t-t-take the hearts of others through those m-m-monsters. She's crazy and t-t-thinks of herself as the only s-s-star." Buggy explained the best he could to Danny, but even then he had some trouble.
"Why are you coming to me instead of the police?" Danny asked, still feeling bad about himself as he's the reason all of this happen. This wasn't the reaction that Buggy expected, but he was told earlier to stop him at all cost from leaving.
"No we d-d-don't, we need you Danny, only y-y-you." Buggy said struggling through his words.
"After what happen, why should I go back. What could I do that would have made any difference." The Danny Buggy is seeing is now at his lowest, more so then what his low points been. He then thought back to what happen earlier and how Bugs inspired him to stop Danny from leaving.
Earlier this night
As Bugs and Company are heading towards the diner where some of the animals are staying for supper, they stop and turned to Buggy knowing this is his moment to shine.
"Alright everyone know the plan?" Bugs asked everyone, having done this before and able to adapt to any worlds, this was nothing new for them. But for Buggy, this will be difficult for him.
"Good, then one last thing." Bugs face Buggy and stared into his eyes holding both shoulders to say, "Alright Buggy, for this part we need you to stop Danny from leaving."
"W-W-WHAT?!" Buggy exclaimed in surprise.
"He's right, you have to stop him from leaving. After what happen he's most likely going to leave in regret for what he did to get all the animals fired." Popeye pointed out as they knew what Danny is thinking now.
"That's right, your the only person that can stop him from making the biggest mistake of his life." Donald affirms this as they need him back if they are to beat Darla.
"B-B-But how can I help? I'm a-a-a scaredy-cat, a coward, and a-a-" Before he finished Bugs interrupted him.
"Look, remember why you wanted to go into Hollywood?" This made Buggy pause for a moment as he felt his heart stop for a moment.
"Those letters you got from your friend, you told us about them. And I have to say, even if your here and are struggling, your more braver then any lion or beast that is here. Chasing your dreams isn't about how big you get or how great everyone knows about you. It's more so about being able to chase your dream, working your way towards something you want to achieve even if they are hard roads ahead. Danny has that dream that no doubt made him reach his lowest point. But that's going to happen, what matters is in your failures, you don't quit or pity yourself in some concern. And when you do your friends and connection you made helps you up. No dream ever achieve is done by one individual. They are done by people who help you achieve your dreams and help you when your down. Danny needs his friends to help him, and we need him to help them. Darla may think she's won, but she will not destroy the soul of dreamers. That's what we are going to do and help them get their dreams back on track." In some way Bugs can get serious and have moments where his words inspire others to follow through their paths. This moment here is one of them as Buggy's felt the spark inside him burning bright. Nodding his head, rushed towards Danny's place in order to help him and his friends get back on course.
present time
"...I-I-I understand what your f-f-feeling." Buggy started gaining Danny's attention even through this stormy rain.
"I feel s-s-sometimes I let people d-d-down. I don't have c-c-confidence, I don't h-h-have talent, and I don't have t-t-the skills as someone I k-k-know before he left. B-B-But I still came h-h-here, because I wanted to s-s-see my friend again. But I had s-s-some rotten l-l-luck while I was here. But y-y-you... you had a way t-t-to make people smile and c-c-chase their dreams a-a-again. That's more t-t-then what anyone would h-h-have done in their life. Your at s-s-some low point, but you c-c-can't give up now. Not when your h-h-here and still have a c-c-chance of achieving y-y-your dreams." When Buggy gave his speech, something in Danny had him think of his time before entering Hollywood. Sure they seem easy and the town folks were friendly, but that wasn't it. What was it are those times he had struggles and problems that didn't seem easy, in fact nothing that got him here was ever easy. With a smile and storm finally clearing up, Danny smiled as he realize there is still time to make this up.
"Thanks Buggy." Danny said, he went hugging him as thanks for the encouragement. As he parted he would then say, "I think there is one more way we can achieve our dreams." He said, for this maybe their final chance to make their dreams come true.
"Well said." Bugs said walking towards Danny with all his friends he made during his time in Hollywood.
"Your all here?" Danny said in surprise, seeing everyone here not just out of necessary, but for actually here to see him despite what he done wrong. Guess even he can get second chance as much as everyone else.
"Eh what did you expect? We just leave you after you annoy us to death about our dreams? It was refreshing to feel alive again." Cranston said smiling as he for once wasn't grumpy.
"You gave us another chance when everyone had given up. That is something we hadn't had for sometime." T. W. Turtle said smiling as he stood beside his friends.
"Oh I can't help myself here, I feel so much emotions from everyone and myself that I feel a happy ending is around the corner." Tillie said with tears and happiness that she can get mix emotion from moments like these times.
"You got what is takes Danny boy, but its much more effort to not just pursue, but to keep the path the way your led in life." Popeye advice as he wink towards Danny.
"It's thanks to you we feel what we lost sometime ago, our passions, our sparks and our dreams towards something we enjoy." Frances said still in her water bucket, but stood up smiling.
"While I don't have much to say, I can say however that life will always get harder, but sometimes you need friends and bonds you made to make it through life." Donald said looking towards Bugs as he assure his friends that things are back to some normalcy. Jerry and Mr. G&W also smiled, glad that they are finally together again.
"I was wrong about you kid, and yet I hopeful again when you tried to help others chase their dreams. I couldn't say thank you before because I wouldn't have thought you made it this far. But even if it's short, you impacted us more then I would have admit. For that we will follow you to the end." Woolie said smiling as he took a bow in respect.
"Thanks for being my friend when we first met, we have had crazy times. But I like to think your my best friend." Pudge said happy to know Danny like he does now.
"See Doc, you have many friends. Sure you mess up, but that's what having others around does, we help those who make mistakes and work through them." Bugs enforce this as he stood in front of everyone, open arms as everyone stood behind Bugs nodding in agreement. Danny couldn't help smile and be happy for that, but then a stray thought came in mind, placing his hand up and open the keyblade appeared.
"So... what about this? I mean I want to chase my dreams, but it feel I have more responsibilities then before. Should I even pursue my dreams or do the right thing?" Danny asked unsure if having the keyblade would change his way of living. Even Bugs and Company had no answer as this was one of those rare times having a keyblade maybe unwise or not the right time. Some of Danny's friends would like to answer, but truthfully this was way out of their field of understanding. If anything they could say it's his choice, but that would only provide little to no answer. At the same time this has more so involving monsters that they been dealing with lately. Any other wouldn't want this responsibilities, so for now they remained silent hoping to have some idea to say.
But among them only Sawyer started to walk towards him. When she was at least couple of inches, she place her hand on his keyblade lowering it down as she look in his eyes face to face. Some part of Danny remember that kissed they did since they figure it would have been their last time. But now they are here, and finally able to take in what they experience for the last couple of days. Danny couldn't help look away as his cheeks flushed at the memory.
"You don't have to fight those monsters." She started, then explained further, "Your doing more then what some monster slaying hero would be doing, that's helping people like us... people like me, who have lost our way when the world got tough." This made Danny look at her eyes in surprise as she softly smiled.
"Back when you first started, I honestly felt you weren't going to last. I certainly remembered when I tried to do something and still failed. But you know what the difference back then and now? It's you were trying to get to know us, you tried to be friendly, helpful and supportive when you could have honestly look out for yourself. That's something I think most of us didn't have, and... I like that part about you." When she admit that last part, the others knew she like Danny in some special way, even some that are clueless could see it miles away. Bugs and Company remained silent as they would have teased or joke, but keep quiet out of respect for what's being said or hold their hands over their mouths as reminders.
"Thanks Sawyer, that means saying." Danny said as he look into her eyes and smiled, but then couldn't resist asking, "So... does that mean I'm your boyfriend." That moment Danny realize he spoke too soon as he tried to recover only to stutter a bit. Sawyer took this moment as she grab him and had him in her arms as she lean in kissing his lips while Danny is held back from falling. At seeing this some shouted in joy while others like Bugs and Pudge whistle for them clapping. When it finally ended, Danny look shock in a good way. Standing straight up his brain couldn't process what happen at the moment.
"After this is over, I'll consider it." Sawyer said winking at him, while they will have some talks about this now wasn't the time.
"Now that we said our peace, you guys may still have a chance to get your jobs back." Bugs said.
"But how will we get them back?" Tillie spoke out what everyone is thinking now.
"I might have some idea, but I can also assume you guys are coming along as well?" Danny said look towards Bugs and Company.
"Well you know, all for one and one for all." Donald said what they will be doing.
"That and Darla needs to be stop. But first we need to take care of her butler and have you guys get in somehow." Bugs said, then everyone pitch in as they plan how to get inside to possibly make their last performance memorable.

5 Days Later - Grauman's Chinese Theater
Sneaking into the theater wasn't exactly easily, mostly because everyone was here to see Darla's latest movie. It honestly made Bugs gag at such a spoiled brat trying make herself better then everyone. But they couldn't exactly say what she did because they have no evidence. So for now they are focusing on getting everyone here instead. Bugs and Company had stated there might be a fight going on, but they will be sure to keep the damage minimum.
Outside of this the others that are with Danny weren't feeling great as some had second thoughts about all this stuff.
"Come on guys, we can do this. I mean sure it's a large crowd, but since when anything has ever been easy on our own." Danny encourage his friends, even if some of them weren't convinced.
"Easy for you kid, your still young and haven't endured the pain of waiting around or feelings of rejection most of your life." Cranston stated, which some agreed with him.
"He's right about that, Cranston and I have been here longer then most of you, yet some of us even knows how hard it was before now." Frances agreed with Cranston.
"I get it, your scared. You had many times been feeling there is no hope or light at the end. But doesn't that mean we need to stick together now more then ever? I mean if your willing to give up, why are you guys still here?" Danny asked the big one, for all their talk of giving up and wanting to quit, them still here is one sign of they haven't quitted just yet.
"Danny's right, we all wanted to do something with our lives. For most part we hid or ran from the problem, and I'm a turtle that does this often. But now we have a chance, we should take this chance." T.W. Turtle said more convince by Danny as they now stood with an opportunity.
"I don't know?" Cranston spoke of some uncertainly, yet somehow kept his grumpy expression.
"Oh come on, it's this one chance we never though of getting. We can do this." Tillie said with much happiness and spirit.
"Nothing we have done to this point has been ideal, but when has life been ideal about what we want. We should take this moment and achieve what we came here for all this time." Woolie encourage those who weren't ready, he too feeling more up spirited about this as well.
"Meanwhile Bugs and Company are simply hanging out, more so they are taking shifts to check the area and make sure no sneak attacks happen. One thing that has been odd is the lack of heartless gathered together. But they figure the only reason for this is that one particular heartless was more or less the boss of this world. Which meant that without their boss they couldn't function correctly. That gave them some breathing room to recover and be prepared to deal with Max, Darla they could handle but have to be careful since she still has power through deception and influence among the Hollywood community. For that Danny will have to somehow work through this process, but they won't leave things unfinished since this will be a problem.
"How are you holding up Champ?" Bugs asked Buggy, who is started to shake less and have some self confidence, but his stuttering will more or less be his way of talking. Bugs wanted to have at least some downtime with Buggy since there is no telling if they will be leaving after this stuff is over. The unique nature of world traveling is done through a train they have no idea is on board, but they will try and manage what they will face.
"D-D-Doing good so far M-M-Mr. Bunny." While Buggy is still nervous all over, it was more manageable since he's hanging out with more people to help him.
"Don't worry too much, your experience first time stage fright. I can assure you that's what all the other performers go through even with their confidence." Bugs assures him things will work out somehow.
"Thanks B-B-Bugs, I also want t-t-to thank you Donald. For b-b-being my friend." Buggy said to Donald who has been here for sometime. Among the company only Bugs and Donald seem mostly close with Buggy. For Bugs it's a reminder of the old days, but also a fresh new start for someone that could make his life different from his own. While Donald on the other hand actually has been here at least little bit longer then the others.
"Ah shucks, I'm just glad things work out for the better." The two hug each other as they felt some special bond between them. Donald gave Buggy a hug, patting behind his back as Buggy did the same.
"Eh before you get ready Doc. I have something you would like to check out." Bugs handed Buggy a paper that has address and name of people that could get in contact sometime.
"That's an address to some animator who knew your friend working for W.Y. Sid. He wants some models and animals to help with his project and is willing to offer jobs for any that helps. Something to think about if you can." Bugs said, somewhat knowing what's in store for Buggy.
With everyone now getting ready, Danny wanted to take this moment away from the guys to speak with Bugs and company, somewhere in his heart he felt they won't be around any longer, which is why he'll say their goodbyes if they plan on leaving soon.
"Hey guys." Danny said waving to Bugs and Donald after they finished talking with Buggy.
"Hey Danny getting ready for your big moment?" Bugs asked.
"Sure am, I just wanted to see you case before you decide to go. Figure with all those monsters you probably have much to work on." Danny said guessing right as the heartless are relentless as always.
"Your not wrong, sorry if it seems like we have to leave soon. But we like to make sure our friends are okay before going off. Those monsters aren't going away anytime soon, which is why you should not use that keyblade too much if your going to be a movie star." Donald gave some advice, since by right Danny is a keyblade wielder and can travel worlds now, it wouldn't be right to force that responsibilities on him.
"I'll keep that in mind." Danny said smiling.
"You should also keep in mind, that no matter what you do everyone needs friends and family to help. You may become a star, but a star is only good as those that help make stars." Bugs advise Danny, having some experience that when your a star of some kind, you lose yourself in the fame and glory. Bugs doesn't want that happening to Danny any time soon or ever if he can help it.
"Yeah, I'm getting it now. If I wanted to be star by myself, I know miss dimple would be that example." Danny joked, but also is serious about what he said.
"Tell me about." Donald joke alongside Danny. But suddenly from no where a looming shadow covers them, when looking up Max the Butler had arrived to stop their actions.
"Looks like Darla knows we're here." Bugs brought out his hammer as Donald got his staff. Everyone that saw Max took cover as they knew they are no match, except for Bugs and Company as they prepared themselves surrounding Max.
"You better take cover, this could get ugly." Donald warned, taking heed of this Danny and Buggy rushed off to see their friends are okay. Bugs, Donald, Popeye, Mr. G&W and Jerry on Popeye's shoulders surround this giant as they knew this won't be easy.
"Let's see what your made of Max." Popeye said, he was the first to try striking him. But instead is grab by Max without looking as Donald and Bugs charge as well yet are grab by the other hand. Mr. G&W already tried to hit Max, yet nothing was doing anything to him. Soon he's grab by Max with Popeye as they are flung towards the roof. When this happen they are sent up on the roof tops, fortune enough Donald place a reflect spell on the group as they now stand on the roof away from the hole.
"Okay... that couldn't been worse." Bugs admits, then Max manage to jump through the hole making it larger then before for his size.
"I actually wanted to fight you Max, so let's see what you got." Popeye then grab his can of spinach, eating the whole can as he and the others prepare for this battle. Max seems unfazed and ready's himself using a boxing style for his size.
Warning!
Warning!
Film's climax at the ready!
Prepare for the finale!
Max the Butler
Threat Level: Green - C
Strength: Great
Abilities: Cleaning, enforcer, and other stuff
Offense: Great
Defense: Great
Weakness: Unaware?
Description: Max the Butler is Darla's Personal right hand man in many task and servitude in many ways. When something doesn't go her way Max is the one to deal with these issues. He is the powerhouse that everyone fears and respect, yet fears mostly as Darla uses his size and might to enforce her authority over others including those who would dare oppose her top spot as number one movie star. When you confront Max it's best to run or avoid frontal assaults as he will destroy you before your able to fight back. Max's accurate size is unknown as sometimes he feels bigger then any Hollywood Studio, yet sometimes smaller for some places. His weakness isn't well known nor would he have been place of weakness. Yet can be argued to have the same weakness as people, just never been position in that weak moments. As such defeating Max will require much more then brute strength.
The big finale
Lights!
Camera!
ACTION!
Instead of all rushing at once, Popeye made the first move. Max responded in kind as he rushed over to start throwing fist at Popeye, the collision burst their fist back as those around them are surprise by this force as they are pushed back. After this happen Bugs and Donald had sneak behind and stuck Max using combo attack of flame hammer by Donald's magic from fire spell. Yet as soon as Bugs manage to smack Max around three times, this only cause Max to retaliate. However this was countered by Donald using some thunder magic that stuck him above. For Mr. Game & Watch lately in these fights he hasn't been able to do much or provide anything that is effective. So this time will try out some of the Super Smash Bros attacks. Using the chief move, Mr. Game & Watch provided cover through many food being thrown at Max.
Yet regardless of their efforts Max seemed unfazed by all this nonsense. Instead manage to punch them away one at a time. The first is Bugs being knock away as he's smack down hard as he's pushed aside. Donald tried to counter with some of his magic as he moved around from Gravity, bind, and sleep. Yet that only daze him for a moment as Popeye is grabbed by Max and sent away towards Donald smacking both of them aside. Mr. Game & Watch used his oil bucket to block the attacks and threw it back when Max tried to hit him three times. But that only work for that time as Max smack him aside.
"Okay, this is really going to get ugly." Bugs comments, knowing this was far from over.
Back inside when the movie finished, Darla is sucking up to L. B. Mammoth to place herself higher then she had before.
"Looks like everything is back to normal. Although because I lost the Director's Cut, I couldn't control those heartless without it's help. Sure I could command some of them, but it was too much effort to even summon those things. Instead I boss around the boss monster and that boss monster commanded the others. But I guess since that failed, I at least got rid of most who would have got in my way. With Max taking care of loose ends, I still am the Star and no one can say otherwise.
"Hold it everyone, please take your seats!" Danny shouted, recognizing the voice Darla turn in shock and rage for him still being here. Yet at the same time hide this expression because of her reputation and image. As Danny along with other animals stood beside him with uncertainty and nervousness they hadn't felt before.
"Today we come to honor Miss Darla Dimple. And since Darla Dimple cares she's planned a special treat for you. A new reality show with an all animal cast!" Danny announced, Darla almost lost herself as she tried to contain her rage of what's happening.
"H-H-Have I?"
"Oh, don't be too modest. Your the one who wanted us to preform for L.B. Mammoth! But not enough for America's Sweetheart Lover of Children and Animals!" Oh how much she wanted to ring his neck for what he's doing, using what she gain over her short years against her.
"M-M-Max?" She tried to call out, but in vain as he's busy doing something else.
"Don't share the credit and I wouldn't dream of preforming without my friends standing by my side." Danny said, as they all stood nervously. Yet somehow in some way they have the need and desire to continue moving forward. In one point they would have tried running away. But till now they have been given another chance, something everyone would want in their life.
"And now Ladies and Gentlemen, if you would give us a moment. We like to set up in just short while for this grand performance we like to offer in Darla Dimple's name and movie tonight." Danny announce, the audience give their cheer as they are curious about what is in store for them. While Darla on the other hand...
"How could this be possible, I was sure they would have given up by now. But I guess that cat hasn't had enough for to get back here. Max should have taken care of this problem, but if he's not here then no doubt those fools are here as well. Guess I will have to do something about this myself." Is what Darla is thinking, she slowly moved away unseen with a grinchy smile as she had other ideas for tonight.
"Alright guys, this is it." Danny whispered to the others. Everyone else is standing behind curtains and went into position for their grand performance.
"Looks like there is no going back." Pudge said getting himself ready.
"Guess we're doing this huh?" Cranston asked for once smiling as he look at Frances.
"Till the end." She replied. The only one left is Sawyer as she pace a bit as she look where Danny is standing and thought, "You came here with big dreams, and had some bumps. Yet you brought us here because you reminded us to never quit. No matter what happens, thank you." Thinking back to her young years how she practice dance and eventually getting good to where she is now. She smiled as she couldn't hold it in anymore, for tonight is an all or nothing act.
Cats Don't Dance song: Nothing gonna to stop us
"Thank you for your patients, now ladies and gentlemen we give you our first animal Musical! Hit it! Pudge!" Danny shouted, as Pudge played the Saxophone for a moment, music started to play in the back ground.
Excuse me ladies and gentlemen if you could be so kind.(Danny)
Someone really special here is about to speak her mind.
I gotta song to sing.(Sawyer)
You don't like my song I'm gonna sing it anyhow.
I gotta dream in my heart.
Yeah!
Nothings gonna stop us now!
The song starts off with Danny and Sawyer singing to the crowd, as they speaks their mind about how they feel and what they want to express. Yet at the same time, as this happen two screens appear as some musical instruments played in the background.
The first is where Darla has found the switches that control the stage to anything she wants and changes. She would then flip these switches if it means she can ruin their lives.
While the other screen shows Max fighting off Bugs and Company. For the moment it seems Bugs and Company are struggling as they Popeye comes in with Donald casting aeroga spell to make Popeye jump and Max blown back as Mr. Game and Watch came from behind using a turtle to bite his butt, forcing him to jump some feet as Popeye knock his block at his teeth. While this made Max slam back down, he countered with his small legs jump back up and used his long arms to swing like a gorilla and punch them quickly.
While both screens are showing, they sync together with the musical background. As both screen turn into one again.
Take 4 and 20 blackbirds and bake 'em in a pie.(Danny & Sawyer)
Before you put 'em in a oven,
you know they're gonna fly!
They say curiousity kills the cat,(Danny)
I'm living proof that's a lie~
Now I'm tell you why!(Danny & Sawyer)
Yeah!
Nothing's gonna stop us.(Danny, Sawyer and Pudge)
Nothing's gonna stop us.(Cranston, Frances and T.W. Turtle join)
Nothing's gonna stop us now!(Tillie, Woolie and Buggy join)
(Repeat All)
At first Darla believe she ruined the performance. But it's revealed that she instead enhance what was already planned. Woolie having play the piano showing his talent as Danny and Sawyer sing and dance in front of the audience. Darla couldn't believe that this is happening and needed to flip more switches to ruin their performance as the stage change only to bring neon lights to show something great in the works.
When they started to sing Nothing's gonna stop us. The screen split once more, as the musical screen shrink, some of the back ground that almost seem like eight TV windows showed Max punching Bugs and Company while they counter with Donald using magic like fire at his face, Earth at his gut and blizzard at the place where it don't shine as he hurled down in freezing pain. Bugs showed at least smacking Max three times left, right, left like some baseball game, Popeye did the same with fist. Mr. Game & Watch then threw balls at him from one of his forms and hit his kneecap with his hammer. Overall while they exchanged blows, Max's punches are lethal as Donald had to heal them. The screens return to normal.
And if I wanna dance I'll dance~(Sawyer)
She'll dance!(Danny)
Just as long as the law will allow.(Sawyer)
Dance and sing all night long.
Nothing's gonna stop us now!
No, no, no, no, one can stop us now.(All the men)
Yeah nothing's gonna stop us now.
Nothing's gonna stop us.
Nothing's gonna stop us.
Nothing's gonna stop us.
Nothing's gonna stop us.
Nothing's gonna stop us now!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
We see earlier that Darla had gathered in their singing light bulbs. With Danny and Sawyer extremely focus and performing with their hearts. Darla tried to throw them down to destroy their song. But instead enhance greater as if they are small exploding lights bursting from the ground. What made it worse is they became more rainbow color as well the stage as everyone joined in. Darla tried to use smokescreen but that only made things greater for everyone singing.
Look for me where there's the smell of danger.(T.W.)
The smell of danger is my middle name.
I've been very quiet but I've got alot to say, believe me~
You ain't going with us then stay out of our way!(Frances & Cranston)
Oh!(Tilly and Buggy duet)
Been knocked down, cut down, locked down, shut down, held down, fell down every time!
Push back, push back, you got a contract!
When you got yours you musta got mine!
Nothing's gonna stop us.(All)
Nothing's gonna stop us.
Nothing's gonna stop us now!
Once more Darla tried to ruin the act, but had made things worse for her as T.W. Turtle unnotice by her action took it with stride and went along as he sang. When returning back Frances and Cranston appear as Frances showed great strength to lift someone bigger then her. When Tillie and Buggy appeared, she did what she wanted for so long and Buggy finally gaining confidences without too much stuttering sang along that time.
Darla keep on trying to flip the switches yet none of them are working for her. Since all she done is change the stage with multi-color making it entertaining. In that progress is zap with many bolts fueled into her becoming fried like the flies outdoors as she slowly is brought back down.
I gotta feeling inside(Sawyer)
Ooooooooh!
And it's love!
Without a doubt!
Oh. I got someone I'm crazy about!(Danny)
And nothing's gonna stop us now!(All)
Nothing's gonna stop us.
Nothing's gonna stop us.
Nothing's gonna stop us now!
Nothing's gonna stop us.(All)
Nothing's gonna stop us.
Nothing's gonna stop us now!
Nothing's gonna stop us.
Nothing's gonna stop us.
Nothing's gonna stop us now~
Now fed up with this game the screen splits where she climbed her way up towards the final switch that will assure her victory. At the same time Max is also fed up as both faces she their glaring hatred for who they are fighting while both the stage and roof show their determination to continue this fight.
As Darla climbs up, so does Max continue to show his true strength. As we seen both of them trying to reach their end goal, just as Darla reach her goal Max also seem to reach his goal as the heroes seem down for a moment. Darla then flip the switch as Max prepared the finishing blow. Yet this wasn't enough as Darla gave the animals the finale performance while Max is caught surprise by Donald, attacking and healing as the one weird moment the roof exploding catching him off guard and back as the animals performed their finale while Bugs and Company had shown many attacks being shown in seconds. When both Darla and Max fell it was the symbol of downfall as they fell on their back or fall down from high places.
Yeahhh~
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!(Sawyer)
With that performance and some tom foolery from Darla Dimple unexpectedly. The audience is not only blown away, but also had their hairs sticking up, losing their teeth and expression of shock excitement. At once everyone gave their around applause that even those up top couldn't help feeling entertained by what happen. Danny and the others knew then they did it, with everyone bearing witness to their performance they finally made it here.
Yet one little thing needs finished as Darla Dimple grabbing herself with stage equipment along, glared at them with determination to get rid of those animals once and for all.
"Who do you animals think you are, HUH? You think you won because of your so called performance? I work my entire life to reach where I am now. Even if that meant getting dirty just to reach that point, I will still be that star. You hear me you stupid, stupid, Stupid Cat!" She crawled here way towards Danny, and shoved Pudge who is fed up with her attitude like everyone else. But of course she still had her standing even if her condition is bad on the outside.
"I SHOULD HAVE THOSE MONSTERS TAKE YOUR HEARTS FROM THE START AND DROWNED YOU ALL WHEN I FLOODED THE STAGE!" And like that, she lost her position of power. Abhorred by what they heard and knew that somehow Darla is responsible for the flood and monsters roaming Hollywood. They gasp in shock at such a young child capable of unspeakable deeds as she admit her crime.
"Darla Dimple?!"
"I Can't believe it!"
"Even those missing stars is here doing!"
She's a monster!"
More and more as starting to finally catch on her act of deception she carried for sometime. In vain hope to spare herself of the audience judgement, she tried to pose using Danny as her way of showing her false innocence. Pudge is next to the lever knowing she's at the perfect spot to help Danny get away from her, pulls it back as Darla falls in now powerless and ruined reputation with no way out or Max to help her in any way.
Rooftop
At the same time we see Max standing up injured and still willing to serve Darla Dimple. Bugs and Company are in same condition, yet are willing to push forward. Both sides have what can be considered their last leg. Max stood straight up as he slowly stomp his way towards them. But before he could do anything, Bugs grinned two both sides of his head, stepping forward to asked, "Hey Doc, how does the Butler go?" This made Max stop in his tracks, pausing to think about the answer. Yet for once in his life felt conflicted and confused, so the best answer he has to say, "I don't know?" In some sheepish.
"INCORRECT!" Bugs shouted.
Jerry appeared and karate chop behind Max's head. He then jump off as Bugs used all his remaining strength to push himself forward with jets attach inside the hammer and spun around towards his face until he twisted himself to smash greatly on Max's head. This cause him to go crazy as he sound off like a cuckoo clock. Popeye joined in as he charge and slammed his fist toward Max's chest as he fell onto Darla Balloon regaining consciousness. As Donald finished it along with Mr. Game & Watch to pop the Darla balloon as Max is flown off towards the sky, holding on for dear life.
Now that the battle ended, they fell forward or backward as they exhausted all their strength.
"Finally, that's over." Donald commented.
"Yeah... wow." Popeye said almost falling asleep.
"Well Docs, once we're done we should head back done to celebrate Danny's new career." Bugs said to everyone, nibbling on the carrot.
"What makes you so sure about that?" Both Popeye and Donald said at the same time. Without saying a word he looks at the audience already knowing the answer.
The Stage
When everything settled and Darla exposed, everyone gave their applause to Danny and his friends. Everyone felt excitement and joy for their performance, but before that Sawyer walk towards Danny smiling as she wanted to thank him personally regardless of the situation now.
"Well, we did it." Sawyer said as Danny return the smile.
"Yep we did it. Not gonna be easy, but we're make it through." Danny assures, but then see Sawyer bring out his old checklist paper she manage to have on hand. Danny wasn't sure and tried to asked, but then she look at the final one as she stares at Danny to say, "Having a girlfriend, check." Both of them would have gone for the kiss, but they are interrupted by Flanigan as he couldn't contain himself after seeing this performance.
"Alright folks, take good pictures of our new Hollywood stars." L.B. Mammoth said proudly, holding both Danny and Sawyer by his side as the Cameras take snap shots of every animal that is now a new star.
Somewhere in Hollywood an exit appeared, as the doors of Infinity Train are once more open as Bugs and Company will take their time to recover after this event.
Bible Topics
Time of his arrival is at hand
This is both literal and figuratively if you can assume both. The meaning however is what's important, for many times in the bible of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John when Christ Jesus was around, he spoke of the end and how things were to come. Some of it is about Birth Pains as Christ would call it, but more accurately is describing of what Revelation that hasn't happen as of yet. For before the tribulation the birth pains or disasters in another word are things that must happen. For when we as believers or non-believer will one day answer to the only true judge of our world as our heavenly father and rightful judge that will look over our lives and how we spend our remaining time on this world.
The Arrival I speak of is more so both Tribulations and his second coming. These two are together as describe in Revelations about how all human history and world will finally end and how things will play out. But not in a way we understand because even if we did, all of us in human nature would try and bend those knowledge for our own benefit or way of abusing it. Another reason is because when it comes to truths from above, the Bible already holds truths that God wants us to know. For even now there are many mysterious and truths as people we wouldn't accept or willingly listen. This is why even if we have read the bible or understand it without God's teachings from the Holy Spirit we wouldn't grasp the full picture since we would force our own understanding on it. Take note that it's alright to be smart and knowing, but don't be boastful or proud in your ways. Many smart men and women will have their proud ways humble by God because we will always need to learn and grow in body and spirit.
One truth that is common is when we die that's the end. The reason I say this is because the truth of the afterlife or if there was one is very common or unspoken topic. Many who became believers of Christ will tell you with faith and evidence that there is a God and heaven with Hell when we all die. The Arrival however is also another end for not just us, but also the world. This paints a clear picture that even though we can die, the world can also die at some point as everything that is created is decaying and rotting from the sins of the world and us in human nature carry that sin. If your one of those people that say you have all the time in the world, don't believe that. Because if this was your last day, hour, minute or second. Know that at any moment you can die here and now, there would be no second chance or reincarnation. Your life is short on this world, but placing both faith in Christ and faithfulness by works, an eternity awaits.
Before you leave, I want to say how sorry I am for being this late and not having any updates in any of the works, especially for those who are readers of Bible Teachings. I was going through some issues and struggle on a personal level that has me giving into laziness and just doing nothing. But I do like your still reading these stories, and being patient regardless of how late I been with any chapters that should have been easy to update. No excuse for that or any lateness this bad, but instead will try not to be late all the time. Once a month for these chapters is the aim for now.
As for the chapter itself, I had a hard time trying to find the movie without paying for it. So every now and then chapters like these needed some new additions. Anyway the next chapter should be more easy to manage and will be update shortly instead of taking this long. Afterwards will take a break from this story once the next chapter is out.
