Chapter 3:
The Nine Kingdoms
Hm, where did we last leave off? Oh yes, Cosmo and Timmy were sucked into a dimensional portal into the Nine Kingdoms which include Cinderella's Kingdom, Snow White's Kingdom, Red Riding Hood's Kingdom, Jack's Kingdom, The Dwarf Mines, Bo Peep's Kingdom, Sleeping Beauty's Kingdom and Repunzel's Kingdom, and the Ice Kingdom to the North.
Right now, let's check in with the Gods of Olympus.
"What!" Shouted Zeus in a mighty anger as he sprang up from his throne.
"I'm sorry dear brother, but I had absolutely no idea how they got away. My plan to kill Cosmo and Timmy was sure fire," demanded Poseidon.
You may wonder how Poseidon got onto Olympus, well he can appear wherever water maybe, so basically his head is sticking out of a bowl right now.
"You're lucky I don't call the FURIES on you!"
"Yet there was no way they could have escaped. Magic is not allowed in the Land of Oz, and to make sure that happens a guilty conscious is placed on all whom dare to do so."
"I don't care what the affairs of the Oz people are, Poseidon. You will catch Cosmo and Timmy; otherwise, I'll make sure what our father Kronos did to you was just a warning. No, the Furies will take care of that; and no one ever has to want to deal with them."
Just then Poseidon had flashbacks to when he was a little baby, and his father turned him into a drink and swallowed him in one big gulp. Being eaten by their father was something the patron deities of Olympus never have to want to go through again. So Poseidon came up with the most terrific plan to capture Cosmo and Timmy: he would use the Sirens.
"The Sirens?" Zeus questioned, "I thought they only did their deeds on the sea."
"Oh no brother, land can work just as well. Just you wait and see."
Poseidon left Olympus and was back in his own chamber in Atlantis. Around him was a room full of Gods just waiting to be persecuted. Sitting in his chair, Spongebob started to get really nervous as sweat dripped from his brow; however he WAS acting like his own washcloth, so Poseidon never knew the difference, or did he?
"I assume you all know why you're here?" Poseidon persecuted, "If not, let me refresh your memories: someone has saved Cosmo and Timmy from their doom on the Yellow Brick Road. The Fates have even cut Timmy's life thread, but some one here has thwarted them. As you may or may not know, the Fates can only be thwarted two more times otherwise they'll have no power over Timmy. I will replay the incident on the entire dome. I will only show you what was shown to me."
The inside of the dome got darker, and suddenly an image was played. It showed rain falling down onto the Yellow Brick Road, making it very slippery. Then it showed the inside of the tree where Cosmo and Timmy were, and only showed them fleeing from the tree. As they turned around to say good-bye to the mysterious deity that saved them, the person was gone, and the movie ended.
"Now, I know all of you are smart enough not to use your voices for fearing that you might get caught. Yet which God here can hold off a massive rain and return it? Was it you, Arial, Goddess of the Merms? No, it wasn't. Or was it you, Ursula, Goddess of the Undersea Night? No, it was in fact Podonis- God of the Ocean Deep!"
Poseidon pointed at Podonis, and he was sent out of the chamber and out of Atlantis with the golden glow. He fell for miles out of Atlantis until he hit the ocean floor and could see Atlantis no longer.
"Just kidding," announced Poseidon, "without further delay, the real culprit was Spongebob Squarepants!"
Spongebob shrieked with horror, and Poseidon spoke again: "Yes, it was you. Do any of you honestly think that Podonis would be able to control water: no! He cannot redirect or withstand it. It was Spongebob who soaked up all the rainwater! No you shall incur a wrath more bitter than you have ever imagined!"
Poseidon pointed at Spongebob, and he suddenly found himself in a floating dome that was desert! It resembled Sandy's dome, except sand lie everywhere you went and had self-created sandstorms. Spongebob had no hope for survival now; he would soon dry out.
Meanwhile, the whirlwind in Oz sent Cosmo and Timmy through a vortex straight to the land of the Nine Kingdoms. When they arrived, they found themselves in a forest; it was raining and lightning. Rain fell down in sheets, and quickly dampened the clothes on Timmy.
"Cosmo, I wish I had dry clothes," Timmy announced.
Cosmo raised his tiny wand, and suddenly Timmy's clothes were all dried off. Not surprisingly, his clothes stayed dry all throughout the trek of the wide forest thanks to Fairy Magic.
Throughout the trek, they tried to avoid getting into bramble traps and getting caught in twigs; the forest was completely blacked out throughout the entire journey except for the occasional light caused by lightning. It was as if Zeus created this massive storm to slow down Timmy and Cosmo, but it only made them more determined to find shelter.
As the pair walked through the damp forest, they were sure that some of the Gods of Olympus would make cameo appearances to try and kill them. Due to this dark thought, Timmy wished for super-hearing to listen to anybody that might try and attack the pair on surprise.
Suddenly Timmy stopped, and listened. He heard the sound of a bow being raised and an arrow being strung on it. Through all the lightning, the poacher guessed that even Super-hearing would be useless thanks to the massive volume of the storm, but Artemis was wrong.
The moment she had strung her arrow on her bow, Timmy shouted to Cosmo to duck immediately, and the two went pummeling to the ground hard just as two golden arrows that were meant for the hearts of Cosmo and Timmy hit a tree behind them.
Unfortunately, the ground underneath Cosmo and Timmy wasn't too stable, and the two went crashing down to a lower forest-floor. This one they hit hard and rocks were under their bodies, creating bruises. Timmy got up, and brushed the dust from his shirt. Under this canopy, there was no rain pouring down because the foliage above was like a massive roof, and keeping it off. Except down here the mist from the rain crept slowly down to the floor, and you could barely see your legs, and the mist down here also exaggerated tiny lights making them appear like massive eyes looming out of trees and every little noise would scare you and make you feel watched by your biggest enemies.
"That hurt really bad!" Timmy commented.
"I know, if only these rocks were smoother." Cosmo replied.
Timmy looked at Cosmo with a cross expression, and Cosmo answered, "Oh yeah" as he raised his wand.
All of a sudden, every rock around them became smooth and easy instead of rough and hard. The occasional lightning coming from above the canopy created not as much light as the pair had hoped, thus Timmy wished for night-vision goggles. He put them on, everything around him was seen in a light green, and proved very useful for the trek through the dark, stuffy forest.
Finally, after a long walk, the two found a burnt-out cabin in the middle of the forest. The only thing left of this cabin was the outer structure and some of the innards. Approaching the cabin, they found many apple trees hovering over the trail.
Approaching the cabin, they found that there must have been some heavy battle that had recently happened because bodies of many different people lie scattered with arrows in their chests and stomachs, oddly, there was an abundance of dwarf bodies. There also appeared to be some evidence of catapults that once held firebombs because the "seat" for the weapon was all scorched and vines lie scattered all about the massive weapons. As the pair was heading towards the cabin, they found that light was becoming more abundant, and decided to do away with the night-vision goggles.
"I wonder what happened here," Timmy said aloud.
"Looks like some heavy duty battle occurred. Let's find out why!" Cosmo said as he raised his wand, and suddenly Timmy's Time-Scooter appeared out of pink smoke. He raced over to it, and sat on the seat. Cosmo followed him as the Time-Scooter moved backwards into a black-and-white portal to 3 days in the past.
On the other side of the portal, Timmy and Cosmo found the cabin was more intact than it had been in the present. Except now they found seven dwarves standing in the front with the Army of Artemis standing on the opposite side. Next to the dwarves were an even greater army of dwarves and next to them was the Army of the 4th Kingdom. Everything was silent, and still and they looked surprised at the sudden appearance of Timmy and Cosmo.
"I wish we were invisible!" Timmy shouted.
Cosmo raised his wand, and suddenly the two and scooter were virtually invisible. The opposing sides continued their staring position and looked onto each other. Suddenly, a whizzing sound could be heard, and several arrows from Artemis' side went clear through the foliage, and hit several dwarves and men. Their comrades stool even more like stone, and the Army of Artemis as still as quiet. The next attack was fire arrows that pierced the mail of the 4th Kingdom Army and Dwarves, but none of the main seven dwarves were hurt; they just looked onto the army of the Goddess of the Hunt. Finally, Firebombs were launched out of nowhere, and struck the little cabin, and sent most of the debris hurtling in to the bodies of the dwarves. In anger, the dwarves and men ran forth to the goddess' army and attacked. A fierce battle went on, and many people literally passed through Cosmo, Timmy and the Time-Scooter since they were no longer in the same plane of existence of the others.
Even more arrows fell out through the trees, killing some of the men and dwarves. The Army of Artemis was equipped with bows and plentiful arrows and swords. The men and dwarves of all the Nine Kingdoms did not know the fighting skills of Artemis' army; they were not as well trained as the goddess has trained hers.
Meanwhile, as this was going on and not to Timmy's knowledge, Artemis was up above the lower forest floor at a giant wooden table surrounded by her generals as her privates were shooting arrows down to the unfortunate opposers at the cabin.
Almost immediately, she lifted up her nose as if to smell a rat, "Timmy and Cosmo are here. I can smell their wretched stench anywhere."
Kora looked back at her, "But I thought they were trapped in Oz."
"That's the current Timmy, not the Timmy from the future." The Goddess replied darkly.
"What do you plan to do?"
"You'll see," and she ran off into the forest as swift as the fastest arrow anyone has ever flung.
The red-haired Goddess ran down several slopes, and past many trees. She was also invisible now so that nobody could see her run by. Finally she approached Cosmo and Timmy on the Time-Scooter and saw them between the battle. She knew that they would somehow like to altar time so that this battle never even happened, or so that the Dwarves and Men would somehow prevail.
She raised her famous bow and quickly strung it with an arrow. Then Cosmo turned around and saw Artemis lurking in the bushes. She knew that she was caught, and quickly teleported out of the area.
"Why did she just teleport like that? Why didn't Artemis finish us off, I mean she obviously has the strength and power to do so," Timmy remarked.
"I don't know." replied Cosmo who was still wondering.
"Is she afraid that Fairies can grant the power to kill Gods? If there was, then I'm quite sure that that would be against the 'Da Rules'"
Cosmo was actually thinking for once, and remembered the one rule that he ONLY could remember: "Actually Timmy, the power to kill Gods is so forbidden by 'Da Rules' that even if Fairies tried to grant the power they couldn't. The only ones that could grant Fairies to break that rule would be the Other Realm Witches' Council, and even that's not promised because sometimes even they are biologically not able to grant it."
"The Witches Council? The Other Realm? Cosmo, what are you talking about?"
"I'm saying that once in a blue moon that the Witches' Council would be able to grant that power without killing themselves."
"Well, why don't you take me to this 'Other Realm'"
"I would if I could, but you remember what happened when we were in Oz? We couldn't get out until we broke the barrier. Besides, since we're in the past now, I'm sure we altered time so that Artemis knows about our plan; she's probably exactly in this spot in the present."
"So what do we do?" Asked Timmy frightfully.
A light bulb appeared over Cosmo's head: "I have an idea. I'm sure since Artemis knows about our plan, she probably made the barrier a lot strong in the present, right?"
"Yeah."
"Well, we could go destroy the barrier where we are now. After all, I'm sure it's going to take some time even for Artemis to make her barrier stronger."
"That's a great idea! Let's go now. I wish we were at the barrier." Timmy shouted.
Cosmo raised his wand up high, and then suddenly it drooped over making a sparking sound.
"What now?" asked Timmy frightfully.
"I'm going to take a stab at it-we're not allowed to magically bring ourselves to the barrier. It looks like we're going to have to walk."
"But at that rate Artemis would have already made her barrier a lot stronger. Wait a minute; I've got an idea! When we reach the barrier we'll just back through time back to when the barrier was weak."
"Why not just time travel back to when the barrier wasn't?"
"Because I want to make a statement to the Gods: I can be more powerful than they will ever dream."
"I guess that makes sense, but one thing: where's the barrier?"
Timmy took out the map, and suddenly it turned into a map of all the Nine Kingdoms. The barrier was located deep with in the Icicle Jungles of the Ice Kingdom. With that, Timmy revved up the Time-Scooter, and the two left just as Dopey the Dwarf was shot with an arrow through his chest.
Timmy heard the only sound that Dopey made, and turned around the Time- Scooter and saw the playful little dwarf arrowed-down before his only home. Doc the Dwarf raced to his side, and Kora suddenly emerged from the trees and shot him down. A very angry Grumpy Dwarf raced towards Kora with his rusty-edged axe, and chopped off her head. As soon as his vengeance was complete, another one of Artemis' soldiers came from behind and shot him through the back. He turned around, and with his dying breath took his axe and shoved it straight into her torso. Both fell together holding the weapons that killed them in both of their hands.
Suddenly, there was a great rumbling that even shocked Artemis' soldiers: a massive army of Huntsmen came up from behind, and started fighting the bad girls. Each soldier shouted "For King Wendell!" Others screamed "For the House of White!" Some of the archeresses were killed as golden arrows were driven through their bodies; some had more than one! Others fought back at the army of the Huntsmen, and eventually there was as much dead Huntsmen as there were dead women in the Army of Artemis.
"It's so sad," said Timmy with a tear rolling down his cheek, "so much violence, and for what? I don't even know why her Army attacked this place of legends. Three of the seven Dwarves died for nothing more than protecting their land from a goddess that wanted ME dead. Why of all places? Why couldn't she just kill me when she had the chance?"
"C'mon Timmy, we must be leaving now."
With that, the Time-Scooter zoomed through the woods and raced along the many trails of the forest. Behind them, they could still hear the screaming and shouts of the battle behind, but did not look back because they had a bigger mission before them: to break down Artemis' barrier.
"This rough terrain is slowing me down!" Timmy shouted.
"Don't worry, once we get to the plains, all will be clear sailing from there!"
Poseidon was watching all of this in his giant dome in present day, and laughed at the pair at having hope.
"So much hope, so much ambition. That will surely be put to the test whence the Sirens get a hold of you," The God of Water said loudly.
The Nine Kingdoms
Hm, where did we last leave off? Oh yes, Cosmo and Timmy were sucked into a dimensional portal into the Nine Kingdoms which include Cinderella's Kingdom, Snow White's Kingdom, Red Riding Hood's Kingdom, Jack's Kingdom, The Dwarf Mines, Bo Peep's Kingdom, Sleeping Beauty's Kingdom and Repunzel's Kingdom, and the Ice Kingdom to the North.
