"Your sword, Alex, is the key to defeat Chernabog, but also the key to release him. Take great care, for the Syndicate will stop at nothing to take it from you." Triton finished. Alex nodded. "I won't let them take the Disney Blade! They'll have to pry it from my dead hands!" Triton smiled. "Very good, than this is where I leave you." Triton walked over to the side of the boat where Jack was standing. "I would like you to know that I was rooting for you, mate" Jack said. Triton sneered at him before diving back to the ocean.
"So, what now Alex?" Ariel asked. Alex's hands were wounded badly from holding back the Trident, but he kept his familiar grin. "We relax!" Alex said plopping down against the mast. "I'm all for that, mate!" Jack said sitting next to him, and drinking a bottle of rum. Ariel giggled as she sat Next to Alex leaning against him. Stitch curled up in a ball and sun bathed. "Who says Warriors can't take a break?" Alex said letting the warm sun beat down on him.
Chapter 23: Oriental Warriors
The Black Pearl came to a slow stop at the docks of China Our hero's exited the ship and looked around. "CHINA! WE MADE IT!" Alex said excitedly. "That just leaves the Great Forest and we're at Bald Mountain!" Ariel said. A familiar purple light began to emit out of Alex's pocket. Frollo's Cufflinks were acting up again. "Look's like we got some more trouble." Jack commented. "Than let's go!" Stitch said. Our hero's were about to disembark when suddenly, a green flame appeared before them. When it disappeared, there stood the figure of Maleficent her pale skin gave Alex a chill down his spine. "At last Disney Warrior, we meet..." Maleficent said in an all-to-kind voice. 'I take it you're a Syndicate member…" Alex glared. "A member? I, Maleficent, am high executive of the Syndicate." Maleficent replied. "Meaning your one of the more powerful…" Jack said. "Precisely." Maleficent replied. "Congratulations are in order Disney Warrior. You've defeated Hook, killed Frollo, escaped Hades, and now you've captured Jafar. But, compared to me, they were all FOOLS!" Alex drew out the Disney Blade. "You talk a lot of smack for someone who stood on the sidelines and watched her teammates fall at my Blade!" Alex yelled. Jack took out his sword as well. "Why don't you back up that talk hag!" Jack said.
Maleficent chuckled. "Believe me pirate, I would love to. But unfortunately I have my own matters to attend to here. But mark my word Disney Warrior, we will meet again, but next time, only one of us will be alive!" Maleficent disappeared in the green flames, but the voice of her evil laugh could still be heard. "Your right, only one will be alive, AND IT WON'T BE YOU!" Alex cried. Ariel put her hand on his shoulder to calm him down. "Let it go Alex, right now we need to find the Great Forest." Ariel said. Alex nodded and the group began the standard procedure of splitting up and asking around. They reunited back at the docks. "Anything?" Alex asked. His two friends shook their heads. Alex groaned. But hope was revived as Stitch came running up with something in his mouth. Alex pulled it out, to reveal that it was a map. Alex's face lit up when he read it. "Guys, according to this map, The Great Forest is just on the other side of that mountain!" Alex said pointing to a massive mountain in the distance.
Stitch grabbed the map from Alex and kept it in his mouth. Stitch began to run towards the mountain in the distance. "Guys, let's go!" Alex said running after Stitch, Jack and Ariel followed after him, leaving the town in their tracks. But unfortunately, no one in the town had told them that a war was taking stage, China's enemy's, the Hun's, had invaded China, and was planning a takeover. The team stopped to catch their breath in a field, far from town. "Are we there yet?" Jack asked rubbing his feet. "Not even close…" Alex sighed. Ariel glanced at the map Stitch had found. "How'd you find this map anyway?" Ariel asked. Stitch whistled innocently. "You stole it didn't you?" Alex asked. Stitch laughed nervously. Alex grabbed the map and took a look at it. But our hero's were being watched. "Okay." Alex said. "Once we make it to the mountain, we'll need to cut on thru, to reach this massive Imperial city and the Great Forest is not far from there!" The team was about to set off when all of the sudden, Soldiers came out of nowhere and surrounded them, everyone turned to Jack. "Why is it whenever we're surrounded, you blame me?" Jack asked.
The Soldiers lead the four to what looked like a campground. More Soldiers watched as the four were taken to a large tent. "Captain!" one said. The Captain came out from the tent. He was about as tall as Jack and had the uniform of a soldier. "What is it?" The Captain asked, slightly annoyed. "We found these four near the camp." Another one said. "We heard them plotting to get to the Imperial City; they could be spies for the Huns!" Alex looked at Ariel who shrugged. "But maybe they aren't…" The Captain said. Suddenly another soldier came running up franticly. "CAPTAIN! Huns are coming!" He shouted. "Men, move out!" The Captain shouted and the soldiers took off. Alex and the group were left alone. "What now?" Ariel asked. "We could sneak out." Jack suggested. Alex pulled out the Disney Blade. "Or we could help them!" Alex said running out of the tent. They saw the soldiers attempting to fight off Huns. There were only 4 of them, but they were moping the floor with the soldiers. "Okay, this is just embarrassing…." Jack said taking out his sword. Jack and Alex ran at the Huns.
The Huns laughed when they saw Alex and Jack. "I really fail to see the humor in this…" Alex said. One of the Huns stopped laughing long enough to answer Alex. "We have taken down this Army, what make you think that you two can stop us?" The Hun said. Alex responded by kicking the Hun in the gut and punching him. The Huns decided that laughing time was over, and proceeded to attack. Jack had faced mobs before so he could handle himself. Alex was having no trouble at all, He was the Disney Warrior! After a few minuets the Huns were defeated. The Captain approached them. "What are your names?" The Captain asked. "I'm Alex" Alex said. "This is Jack, Ariel and Stitch!" "I am Captain Shang, Jack, Alex, Stitch, You are welcome to join our army, your fighting skills are promising."
Alex looked back at Ariel. "What about Ariel?" Alex asked. "Women cannot join an army, it is a law" Shang said. Ariel clenched her fist. "Well, if Ariel and joining, I ain't joining!" Alex said. "And if he's not, I'm not." Jack replied. Shang groaned. He walked away to think for a moment. He returned to them after a moment. "Fine, she can join, but she has to stay out of they way!" Shang said. Shang then turned to another soldier; this one was dressed in green and had his hair in a bun. "PING!" Shang called. Ping went over to the Captain, "Yes Captain?" Ping asked in a strange voice. Ariel gave Ping a weird look. "Ping, I want you to stick with these four, you can learn something from them." Shang said walking away. Ping turned to our hero's. "Um, Hi, guys…" Ping said nervously. "Uh, hi? " Alex asked.
