Ariel stepped forward. "You can't say that just because Stitch looks odd!" Ariel shouted. "AHA! You know its name! You must be in league with him, gypsy!" Frollo thundered. "Well, guess I'm off the hook." Jack said with relief. "Don't be too sure, Pirate" Frollo said. Jack just slapped his face in exasperation. "GUARDS!" Frollo shouted as about 200 armed men surrounded them. Jack whispered something in Alex's ear. "Alex, we gotta get to the cathedral and claim sanctuary, if we do, they can't get us, trust me, I've been here before." Alex nodded and whispered the same thing into Ariel's ear. "SCATTER!" Alex shouted as our hero's darted off into different directions into town. With the whole Armada of soldiers after them.
Chapter 11: SANCTUARY!
Alex and Stitch ran for their lives as 100 soldiers chased after them, Jack and Ariel went off on their own way. Alex saw some cargo outside a shop which gave him an idea. With Stitch clasping onto his back, he used some Crates like a staircase until he jumped at a rooftop a few feet away. He barely made it though, as he clung on for dear life as he was about 30 feet up in the air. Stitch climbed off Alex's back and onto the rooftop and picked him up off the ledge and onto the ground. "Your strong!" Alex said in amazment. Stitch then actually ripped off a piece of the rooftop and dropped it on the soldiers. "Super strong" Alex said in shock. Alex snapped out of it and climbed off the building and headed back to the Cathedral where Ariel and Jack where waiting. "Where is he?" Ariel asked in worry. "He'll be here, the lad can take care of himself" Jack reasurred her. Suddenly they saw him round the bend but right behind him, were the soldiers. Alex ran as fast as he could but they were gaining on him! Suddenly the Disney Blade began to glow, and soon he was running a lot faster than usual "What the?" Is all Alex could say before he ran right into Ariel and Jack.
After getting to their feet they ran inside the church and screamed to the top of their lungs. "SANCTUARY!" Outside Frollo could be heard yelling at his troops. "You just wait!" Frollo shouted. "You can't stay here forever!" Suddenly Alex looked at Jack. "Jack? What does he mean by that?" He asked in suspicious tone. "Um, there's one thing I forgot to mention, he can't get us, as long as we stay here" Jack said nervously. "HOW ARE WE SUSPPOSED TO STOP CHERNABOG STUCK IN HERE?" Alex shouted. "Hey, don't blame me!" Jack recoiled. "Blame that little monster on your shoulder!" Stitch growled at Jack. "Ug, whatever, I'M going to explore this place and find a way out!" Alex said as Stitch and Ariel followed him. Although Jack was mad at him, he couldn't stay there, so he had no choice but to follow them. The halls were beautiful, it was as if a piece of artwork had come to life and sprung onto the building. "I wonder if there's another way out." Ariel asked to no on in particular. Alex leaned against a wall as he looked up at the ceiling it was a beautiful mural of God reaching out to someone as angels were hiding behind him.
Suddenly the wall behind Alex gave way, revealing a staircase. When they reached the top they saw large golden bells. Stitch jumped off Alex's shoulder and sniffed the air. "Someone, here." Stitch said. Ariel walked over to a little table with a wooden replica of the town. "Aw, how cute, someone made a replica of the town." Ariel picked up one which resembled a man with a large hump on his back. Jack searched the place for Rum or anything of value, and Stitch began to sniff some stone gargoyles, because he was sure one of them moved. Alex heard something move. "Guys, did you hear that?" Alex asked he looked around. Alex moved a few objects around. Nothing. "That's odd; I could've sworn I heard something." Alex said as he stepped toward the edge of the window, looking down at the city. Suddenly, the stone underneath him gave way and Alex began to fall out. "Guys!" He called. Ariel and Jack ran to help him but just then; someone emerged from the shadows and grabbed Alex before he totally fell thru.
He pulled Alex back inside. "Are you ok?" he asked. 'I'm fine thanks." Alex said. Alex looked up and saw that his savior's face was misshapen and he had a large hump in his back. Alex and the group cringed when they saw him. The man drooped his head. "Your going to hurt me now, aren't you?" he asked. "Why would we hurt you?" Ariel asked. 'Well, look at me!" He said. "Um." Alex tried to say something polite. "Sure you may look a bit, weird." "That doesn't bother you?" He asked. "A bit, but that's no reason to start a fight." Alex said. "There's nothing wrong with you." Ariel added. "I'm not really…normal myself." She said as she looked down at her feet. "What do you mean? You're beautiful!" The man said as Ariel blushed at the comment. "I'm Alex; this is Ariel, Jack, and Stitch." Alex said. "My name is Quasimodo." He said. Stitch sniffed Quasi a bit before laughing manically. "STITCH!" Alex shouted. Stitch curled up in a little ball and rolled around the room. "Don't mind him Quasi." Alex said. Quasi looked out the window. "Say, you wouldn't happen to no an alternate exit out of here would you?" Alex asked. "Yes, I can climb you all down, but you'll have to wait for dark." Quasi replied. "We can wait." Alex said as he joined his friends.
Quasi soon joined them, and then he saw Jack. "Hey, I know you, your Captain Jack Sparrow!" Quasi said. "You've heard of me?" Jack said proudly. "Yes, I've read about you" Quasi said "you've been caught by the Authorities the most times than any other pirate!" Jack glared at Quasi while Alex bit his lip in an attempt to stifle his laughter. Jack just left to search for more Rum while Ariel and Alex told them of their past adventures. "You two have something in common with me. You both wanted to see the outside world; we were all isolated from it." Quasi said. Alex looked outside, it was already night. "Time to get going" Alex said. With Stitch latched on his back the group slowly climbed down the roof as Quasi lead the way. They swung from the stone arches, as they made their way to the ground. Eventually they made it to the ground. "Thanks" Alex said.
Quasi nodded. "Before you leave Paris I want you to meet a friend of mine" Quasi lead the way thru the town till they came to what looked like a cemetery. Quasi moved a casket to reveal a hidden staircase. "Why does this seem familiar?" Jack said as he was lead down the stairs. The staircase took them to an underground cavern. "This place gives me the creeps" Alex said as he looked around. "We're almost there." Quasi reassured as they made their way thru the dank dark cave, water was up to their ankles. Quasi moved a boulder in front of them to reveal a large bustling underground city. "Where are we?" Ariel asked in amazement. "The Court of Miracles" Quasi answered.
