Hey, guys. I'm back and I have a four-part series in the Disney category involving Mickey's ego and power having consequences after abusing it for too long. Feel free to review after reading the story. Anyway, Mickey and Friends, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and other properties in this fic belong to Disney not me. Let's get it.
WARNING: This story contains foul language, minor abuse and gun violence. Reader discretion is advised.
=====Chapter 1: Descending Into Madness=======
Deep within the halls of Disney Castle, many of the inhabitants were called into an important meeting by King Mickey and Queen Minnie. All were in the giant meeting room fit for so many of Disneyland's denizens composed of Roger Rabbit, Jessica Rabbit, the Disney Princesses, Wreck-It Ralph, Vanalope, Tamora, Fix-It Felix, Disney Princes, Kuzco, Stitch, Mirabel, Bruno, Spiderman and the Avengers, the Star Wars characters and many others. Queen Minnie, Donald Duck, Goofy, Mickey's brother Oswald, Pluto, Daisy, Cuca Loca, Clarabelle were looking nervous while the king looked serious like he had a lot on his mind plaguing him left and right. It all went silent after some murmurs from the crowd. Minnie twiddled her gloved fingers having her woman's intuition go off but held her composure for the sake of all the denizens as their monarch. Everyone anticipated for Mickey to speak and give a reason on why he summoned just about everybody here.
"This better be good. That rat better have a good excuse. I was about to bone my girl back in New York. And why is the author torturing me like this? What the hell?", Deadpool muttered only to get smacked upside the head.
"Hell was that for?!"
"Wade, show some respect. That's the king, you dumbass!", Hawkeye hissed in Deadpool's ear being the culprit that smacked him. Thankfully, Mickey didn't come down to beat the mercenary's ass. After few seconds of silence did Clarabelle announce the event.
"Meeting is now in session. His and Her Majesty presides over the matters of affairs. You all may be seated.", the bovine announced as the denizens did as they were told. Mickey cleared his throat before he spoke to the inhabitants of Disneyland.
"As you all know, an act named after myself is ironically putting me at risk. You all remember the Mickey Mouse Protection Act?", the king asked as Spiderman raised his hand.
"Yeah. It's where the original copy of a work is protected for 70 years plus the life of the creator.", the webhead answered as his girlfriend She-Hulk was impressed being a lawyer and all. Mickey nodded and continued.
"Correct. This concerns me and for some of you as well. In the year 2024, my reputation and everything Disneyland has stood for will be in the public domain.", Mickey noted as Hiro Hamada grew confused.
"But isn't that a good thing? At least, everyone can have fair use of our world and can know more about you, man.", he said as Goofy spoke to his best friend.
"Hiro's right, Mickey. It's definitely an honor.", the dog smiled goofily but the mouse wasn't smiling. He turned to Goofy with a frown on his face with everyone not liking the tension. Even his nephew Roger Rabbit was nervous as his parents Ortensia and Oswald picked up on their son's mood. Jessica turned to her husband soothing him hoping he doesn't get upset.
"Goofy, you don't understand. Do you know what public domain does to our country?"
"Uhh, make it look good?", Goofy guessed only for Mickey to shake his head.
"No. It's the opposite. We will get ripped off and our way of life will be threatened. It happened to Pooh this year. It got my dander up hearing about a horror movie titled "Pooh: Blood and Honey". Our culture has been positive throughout the years and I'm definitely next on the chopping block.", Mickey said in worry causing his wife to console him. I'm sure people can research our world wisely. Don't you agree?", the queen suggested as others murmured in unison agreeing with her. Mickey sighed before clearing his throat with an answer that will shock everybody.
"Minnie, my dear. This is serious. As king and queen, we are responsible for protecting and caring for the world that our creator built. He made me the king and you my queen. Something must be done and the time is now!"
"Mickey, what are you trying to say?", Minnie said in a mixture of worry and fear as her intuition went through the roof. Pluto and Figaro picked up on their masters' tension and felt uneasy. However, the answer shocked the whole group by Mickey's decision. He took a deep breath and silently looked at his subjects before he uttered what will change the nation forever.
"I have no other choice but to make public domain illegal.", the mouse noted causing the whole room to gasp and murmur.
"Mick's gone off the deep end hasn't he?", Timon whispered to Pumbaa in which the lovable warthog had a clueless look.
"I thought Mickey couldn't swim well, Timon. What's he doing over there?", Pumbaa asked only for Timon to shake his head.
"No, no. I mean the mouse has lost his mind. Either that or he's just pullin' our legs.", the meerkat noted.
"Mickey's straight trippin', man! He can't do that!", Jake Long uttered his two cents as Ron Stoppable, Kim Possible, Rufus, Trixie, Fu, Jake's grandpa and Spud nodded in agreement.
"Is it me or did the author get inspiration from that Animal Crossing kid wanting to make seabass illegal? Let alone declare war on them? That's a laugh!", Deadpool laughed obnoxiously while breaking fourth walls. Ralph and Vanalope shuddered hearing about Villager's once dangerous ambition to make seabass illegal but died down. To make it quick, he was in the doghouse by his woman, Isabelle the lovable shih tzu. Hey, Roger and Jessica aren't the only anthro and human couples here. Donald rolled on the floor laughing oblivious to Mickey's pent up anger. Goofy gulped while Daisy tried to shut that duck up before things got ugly.
"You must be joking, Mickey! Making public domain illegal! That's a good One! Ah-wa-wa-wack!", Donald laughed cackling as Roger looked at his uncle's stoic yet anger energy displayed ready to bust loose. The rabbit had to do something to ease the tension after watching some of the denizens believe that the king's joking or is nuts. Jessica turned to Roger with concern in her expression.
"Honey Bunny, I have a bad feeling about this. Your uncle's very serious about doing something as dangerous as that.", the redhead said frightened almost to the equivalent to the day she saw the deadly Dip below her and Roger. The rabbit attempted to assure his wife on the matter.
"Love Cups, we're going to be okay. Uncle Mickey's just under the weather and just needs a laugh or two to ease his nerves. That's all.", Roger said not wanting to jump to conclusions about his uncle. After finding out that Mickey is his father's brother did Roger expanded on his family because of this. He doesn't want to see what Mickey's going to do next that would not only jeopardize Disneyland but also his family.
Roger has already been through enough as is out of most of the denizens. From being separated from Oswald and Ortensia when he was a baby bunny, finding his place as a toon, going through the whole Acme murder case years ago and worst of all, Eddie's passing that torn him up inside. It took his wife Jessica, Herman, his family and pals to help him through it. The late RK Maroon put it best being that you can drop refrigerators or anything on Roger and he'll be fine but if anyone he cares for is hurt or not themselves, he'll go to pieces. Roger watched Donald still laughing as Mickey walks over to the duck standing over him with a glare. Roger hoped his wife could be wrong but what would transpire next proved to be otherwise.
"Making public domain Illegal, Phooey!"
"Donal!", Mickey bellowed stopping the sailor duck in his tracks. Donald sheepishly laughed while Minnie and the others quaked in fear except for Oswald who frowned at his brother. Mickey stepped dangerously close to the duck before speaking with venom.
"Do I look stupid to you? Do I look like I'm joking?!", Mickey sternly asked Donald wanting an answer. Pluto whimpered not liking the side that his master's displaying right now. Fifi comforted the poor pooch as she hated to see him upset. Donald nodded his head not caring for the consequences.
"You sure do, Mick! Ha-cha-CHOOOUCH!", Mortimer heckled causing Mickey to set an example of the lanky mouse by firing magic from his scepter slamming the heckler against the wall. The denizens were feeling disgusted at Mickey's actions but Minnie glared angrily pointing at her husband.
"Mickey! You have no right to strike an innocent person like that! What's gotten into you lately?!", Minnie yelled in anger and sadness seeing Mickey go mad like this. Mickey turned to his wife with his expression not changing one bit. Oswald clenched his fist glaring at his younger brother. Ortensia picked up on her husband's pent up anger and turned to her son in the row looking scared as did her daughter-in-law.
"You know dam well what's wrong, Minnie! I am the king and I want the public domain and fair use of Disneyland gone!", Mickey bellowed stomping his foot with serious force.
"You can't just get rid of it! That's impossible!", Snow White begged.
"Impossible it is. Anger rising you must not.", Yoda advised. Stitch spoke in his alien tongue in anger pointing at Mickey as Lilo translated for him.
"Stitch says you are out of your mind! You're off your rocker!", the Hawaiian girl yelled at the growing tyrannical rodent.
"Yeah! It's illegal to take away someone's right to fair use!", Lisa Simpson noted with logic. Bart turned to his sister and rolled his eyes.
"Accept it, Lise. That mouse is long gone and is having more than a cow.", Bart honestly told his sister of the inevitable. After nearly everybody voiced their concerns, Mickey growled and roared with fury shooting magic blasts in the air.
"QUIIIIIET!"
The room grew silent as Mickey had rage and descent of sanity within his soul. Donald, Goofy, Clarabelle, Daisy, Cuca and the others were helpless seeing their friend and king act that way. Goofy had to help Mickey reconsider but he didn't know how without setting the mouse off hurting anyone else. Minnie not afraid to speak for the people stood up to Mickey to get through to him. Her face was regal with passion and fury but for all the right reasons.
"Mickey, this isn't you! This is not what your father had wanted!", she reminded staring her husband down. Pluto, Fifi and Figaro barked and meowed in agreement causing the mad king to shout.
"Shut up! Shut up all of you! You keep my father out your mouth! That's an insult!"
"I don't give a dam! You have been angry lately and it's gotten us concerned about you! I'm angry because I care! Drop the paltry acts and let it go!", Minnie challenged only for Mickey to point the finger at her as everyone watched on. Pluto was like a boy seeing his parents argue in front of him escalating to forbidden heights. Figaro and Fifi saw the hound's body shake in fear not knowing what to do.
"Isn't that what I'm doing? Banning public domain's fair use is best for everyone and the world!"
"No, it's not! I don't know you anymore!", Minnie said with hurt in her voice.
"I am the king! I can do whatever the fuck I want!", Mickey yelled in Minnie's face as the queen didn't flinch.
"You can't do that!", Minnie hissed with venom towards the maniacal king. She continued on that definitely pissed off Mickey to a T afterwards.
"If you were half the king your father was, you wouldn't be acting like a monster!", the queen spat causing the room to stop in motion. Mickey's face turned to shock frozen in place hearing his wife's brutal honest rremark. Oswald angry as he was at Mickey grew shocked at his sister in-law's courage against his brother. He grew concerned for her as did Goofy and friends for what happened next made the land grow petrified. Mickey turned to Minnie with an evil scowl walking up to her and a very loud pimp slap launched her in the air slamming her onto the ground as she whimpered in pain. The whole room was petrified and the couple's nieces and nephews quaked in fear running to their aunt's side.
"I'm ten times the king my father was!", Mickey hissed evilly not caring at the moment watching his wife lay unconsciously. Roger ran up to Minnie with concern as Jessica warned him to wait.
"Roger, wait! Not yet!", she chased after Roger but glared viciously at Mickey for a moment. Oswald seeing his son hurt deep down couldn't take it and needed to do something about it. Donald and Goofy couldn't take it anymore either.
"Mickey, that was uncalled for! You got some nerve to take it out on somebody who genuinely cares for you!", Donald squawked with anger while Pluto growled and barked in agreement. Goofy hurt and disgusted chimed in with Donald.
"Gawrsh, Mick. This isn't the mouse we know and love! Minnie was just trying to help you. She definitely loves you.", Goofy sadly told Mickey trying to get to him. Minnie unconscious from the heavy slap woke up to Roger pleading on behalf of the nieces and nephews.
"P-P-Please say something, Auntie. Anything!", the rabbit pleaded as Minnie weakly groaned turning her head to Roger with a smile.
"Don't worry about me, Roger. I'm okay. All I need is some rest.", Minnie said relieving her nephew as the others were relieved for her. Daisy and Clarabelle looked at Roger and the kids with sympathy and empathy as they ordered the doctors to carry Minnie away to her chambers as the girls followed suit. Jessica beside the rabbit watching on stood as Minnie was carried to safety away from the maniacal king. Roger hurt seeing his family spiral down spotted his father running to his uncle with fists cocked back.
"Dad, what are you doing?! P-P-P-Please don't!", the rabbit yelled but to no avail. Mickey argued with Donald and Goofy to the point he was about to launch an attack only for Oswald's fist to connect causing the king to fall to the floor. The crowd gasped in fright seeing the drama unfold with the villains in shock at what they are seeing.
Mickey slowly got up glaring at his brother with an evil scowl on his face. Oswald on the other hand had anger still plastered on his face as he needed to straighten Mickey up. Silence grew for a moment until the hare spoke his mind.
"You're pathetic, Mickey! You call yourself a king? I beg to differ for after what I've seen today, you don't deserve to rule any longer.", Oswald spat causing Ortensia to beg her husband.
"Honey, stop it! Please calm down!", she begged only for Oswald to shush her.
"No, Ortensia! My brother needs tough love right now! He's been a fucking brat for many years! I should've been king instead of hiss spoiled ass!", Oswald yelled at Mickey in which the latter grabbed him by the collar nose to nose snarling.
"You, a king? Don't make me laugh! Without me, this land would be a memory and forgotten. What have you been doing the whole time, huh?! Tell me that right now!", Mickey barked as Oswald huffed.
"Like you even care. But I was being a good sport when Dad chose you instead of me. We were so close but over the years, you grew egotistical but it was slower over time. Part of it was my fault for not checking you when you step out of bounds. I was married to Ortensia and was raising Roger but you grew oblivious when he was taken from me. Because of him, we were able to become a family when he wanted to follow in my pawprints as an actor. Speaking of my son and your nephew, do you ever think about him especially before you try to become a madman?!", the hare asked demanding an answer but Mickey sighed and spoke to his brother firmly.
"Oswald, Roger's an adult for crying out loud. He's learning for himself that tough decisions has to be made. If that means banning public domain for the country, then so be it. Like yourself, he's not made to rule. Other than being a film star, what else has he done for himself?!", Mickey yelled as Roger heard every venom spewed out from his uncle's tirade. Jessica hearing this seethed clenching her teeth with some of the others trying to calm her down.
"Jess, calm down. Don't do anything rash. Be there for Roger.", Tamora told the redhead as Snow silently nodded agreeing with the soldier. Jessica didn't attack but watched on as Oswald frowned.
"Without your nephew, your kingdom wouldn't exist anymore. You should know what happened in 1947! Our lives were at stake!", Oswald reminded his brat of a brother of the events in Toontown. Mickey scoffs before answering back.
"Well this is then, this is now. Roger was framed for murder becoming a patsy. What the hell did he really do? Or rather, what the hell did Jessica do other than get kidnapped by Doom, huh? Tell me that other than posing for Acme!", Mickey smirked causing the crowd to grow in disgust.
"Damn, what the hell?! That's disrespect on all levels. Being called Trash Panda is tame compared to what that mouse had said."
"I am Groot! I am Groot! I am Groot!"
"You said it, buddy! That mouse got my dander up! Show the rabbit kid some respect.", Rocket Raccoon ranted along with Groot after hearing the garbage Mickey dished out. Snow White grew angry along with Jessica who took offense. Roger hopped between his uncle and father in which the latter had fear and worry for his son.
"Roger, what are you doing?! It's all right, son! Your uncle's not himself right now!", Oswald pleaded but Roger shook his head.
"P-P-Please, Dad. I can't sit here and let Uncle Mickey talk down like that. I thought we'd all put the past behind us after Judge Doom's death. And Uncle Mickey, keep my sweet Jessica out of this! Don't take your anger out on her or Dad like you did with Aunt Minnie.", Roger angrily shouted only for Mickey to yell back.
"Silence! How dare you have the balls to talk to me in that manner! I am your uncle and your king! You will respect me and as soon as I declare fair use in public domain illegal, everyone will respect me and everyone in this kingdom will bow to me or rather the whole world!", Mickey roared making his intentions known. Goofy comforted Pluto in his time of need as Donald looked pissed at Mickey. Though the duck was treated as second banana like the Warner rival Daffy, at least he doesn't stoop that low to take it out on the world over something trivial like the mouse is doing right now. Roger stood firm in his square with Jessica watching on. The rabbit glared at his uncle not proud of what he has become.
"Uncle, you're not the same like you were once before. Not only my grandfather's turning in his grave but also Eddie and Delores as well. I didn't do this alone for had Eddie to help me. Who to thought that it took a goofy rabbit and a once sourpuss detective to save not only your kingdom but every part of the toon universe.", the rabbit spoke with guts.
"Yep. Rog ain't lyin'.", Baby Herman noted in the crowd.
"What are you saying, Roger?! My protection is coming to an end in two years and all you're spewing out is shit in the past! What the hell would you do if anyone used you for fair use to troll you and have a chance to tarnish you for amusement?! You should be happy I'm declaring war on public domain!", Mickey said flabbergasted at Roger only for Oswald to chuckle. The mouse turned to his brother in a mixture of anger and agitation.
"What's so damn funny, dipshit?! I don't find this amusing at all!", Mickey yelled and ranted as Oswald kept laughing before he said his piece.
"I find it amusing that the king let alone the face of the Disneyland nation is worried about a simple troll or keyboard warrior talk about him behind his back? How immature! That's not becoming of a king! Where's your nuts, Mickey? Seriously, where are your nuts at?! Tell me somethin' now!", Oswald demanded as Goofy held out a can of Planters Salted Peanuts causing Rocket, Spiderman, Timon, Aladdin and Flynn to laugh. Even Roger laughed at his idol's comedic humor.
"Here they are, Oswald! Mick left them in the room nice and salty. Ha-Yuck!", the lanky dog joked causing Donald to snatch them seeing the crowd chuckle and some covering the kids' ears being Lilo's, Mowgli's, Kit's, Huey, Dewey and Louie or rather Scrooge covered their heads with buckets.
"Not those nuts, Goofy. Damn!", Donald grumbled. Deadpool held out a bracelet of beads with a smirk.
"What about his beads?", Deadpool asked only for Oswald to smirk and Mickey getting angry.
"Yes, Deadpool. His beads. His hairy, stinkin' beads.", the hare chuckled with everyone laughing excluding Ortensia. She spotted the mouse king fall into a rage and whipped out an eraser gun pointing at Oswald with Jessica and Ortensia screaming.
"Oh my god! He's got an eraser gun!"
"Uncle Mickey, p-p-please put that gun down! Don't shoot my daddy!", Roger begged while Ortensia pleaded and yelled.
"Mickey, don't do it! Don't kill your own brother!", Ortensia begged while Donald, Pluto and Goofy try to charge at the maniac. Oswald was pale and speechless of what his younger brother would do for power even if it means doing the same thing Scar did to Mufasa. Roger now being in the middle of all the madness was petrified seeing his father get blasted forever.
Ever since Judge Doom thought up the first weapon to kill toons, many criminals designed a better way to kill. The eraser is very effective as a real bullet for humans. One clean shot from the eraser to a artery carrying ink and paint will kill off the toon permanently. Although, eraser guns are hard to come by for only law enforcement, royalty or military can get those. Mickey didn't care at that point for Oswald was now under the barrel. Pluto charged for Mickey only for the mouse to grin.
"Step back, boy! Or I shoot Oswald's ink out! Get back all of you!", Mickey screeched cocking the gun at Oswald who is still speechless. Roger's eyes welled up as the rabbit tried to plead for his father's life.
"Uncle, p-p-p-please calm down!", Roger cried out only for Mickey not to listen stomping his foot.
"No! I declare war on public domain! And your father is getting in the way of that! Get back if you want him to Live!", Mickey demanded as Oswald spoke to his son.
"Do as he says, Roger. It's going to be okay, son. If I don't make it, look after your mother.", Oswald said as Roger cried.
"Don't say that! He's not going to kill you! I don't want to watch you die! I don't know if I can—"
"Shut up! Just shut the fuck up! I am the king, I am the Law!", Mickey yelled cocking the gun with his hand on the trigger.
"Somebody do something! Put the gun down!", Cinderella begged only for Mickey to yell some more.
"I AM KING! I AM LAW!", Mickey screeched before a shot fired making everyone gasp in horror. Roger was shaking in shock and fear believing that he lost his father but he was still alive for no bullet hole went through him. Mickey stood there frozen in shock for a second as the gun crashes to the floor followed by a collapse by the king as the hole went through his torso.
"Oh my god! Mickey! MICKEY!", Oswald yelled to his brother's unconscious body. Roger was all shook up watching what went down before his very eyes. Jessica paled in horror, Pluto whimpered and cried for his master, Donald was speechless and most of the denizens were fearful of Mickey's life. Sure, he did try to kill his big brother but he was still loved by everybody. No one knew who shot him from afar but it seemed to be a long-range shot.
"Somebody get a medic! Hurry up!", the guard called out as doctors with a stretcher quickly placed Mickey on it. Roger frantically tried to dash over only to get pulled back by Jessica.
"Wait! P-P-P-Please! Let me go! Let me go!", Roger cried out as Jessica and Oswald held him back. Herman turned to the distraught rabbit to get him to Listen.
"Rog, there's nothing you can do! I'm sorry!", the gruff baby said somberly as Roger wailed uncontrollably. Oswald though angry at Mickey for his actions is also saddened in fear of losing his brother. Not only that, his own son witnessing that in full display. Roger years ago was happy that Mickey was his longtime uncle back in 1944 and it's the same year he found his parents. Mickey and Roger were friends beforehand but the fact that they were family made the rabbit so happy. Now that he witnessed his uncle going from madman to a king getting shot was something too much for him to bear.
Jessica, Donald, Goofy, Daisy, Clarabelle, Cuca, Pluto, Fifi, Herman and some of the other Disney denizens surrounded the poor rabbit with Ortensia comforting her fearful son. They watched helplessly as Mickey was being carried off by the medics. Minnie was still recuperating in the hospital unaware of the news of her husband shot just now. A deadly price to pay once ego and power blinds an individual to this forbidden territory.
Unknown=====
In an unknown area, Mickey woke up groaning in pain as he tries to regain his bearings. The mouse tried to open his eyes but he was a bit groggy. Once his vision cleared, he saw a celestial like place similar to an ancestral plane like the one Tchala was at but different from Wakonda's.
"Gosh, where the hell am I? Damn that Oswald! I gotta get the hell outa here. But how?"
"You have forgotten me.", the stern male voice called out as Mickey jumped startled wondering who it was and where it came from.
"W-What? Who are you?! C-Come on out and show yourself! Shit, I don't have my weapons!"
"Yu have forgotten me, my son."
As soon as those last two words rang out, Mickey turned to the source. In front of Mickey was a person but the specific one got the mouse shocked. The figure had short dark brown hair with a short thick moustache of Caucasian descent with a suit that had his Initials "W.D." written On them. The man looked down on Mickey with a disappointed look on his face.
"D-Dad? Is that really you?"
To be continued…
A/N: That's part 1 of 3, folks. I decided to leave that there. Obviously, Mickey's not dead but he will go on an enlightened journey to humble himself. This story came to mind after learning and remembering the Mickey Mouse Protection Act. In short, Any original work before 1960s is protected for 95 years and becomes public domain for fair use but the act happened after the mid-60s where any original work is Protected for 70 years plus the life of the creator. Since Mickey Mouse and Winnie The Pooh were made before the act took place, they do not qualify. Pooh and Piglet are now in the public domain of 2022 hence a company creating a horror film called Pooh: Blood and Honey. Mickey or the original copy of him will go to the public domain in 2024. Though both are in public domain bound, you cannot use Pooh's Disney design being a yellow bear with a red shirt and Mickey's current designs without permission from Walt Disney Company before doing that. I figure since Mickey's an egotistical maniac at times, I can channel that into the story.
Also, this story is also inspired by Vannamelon's video on YouTube called "I Am Law" where Villager wants Isabelle to make seabass illegal. However, he goes absolutely nuts declaring war on seabass. It's funny and I recommend you guys check it out. Anyway, see you all In Part 2 of 3 or 4 depending on the flow of the story. LilMancub out and I'll see y'all in the next one.
