Another request story that comes from Jinero meaning the credit will be going to him for this story
On a fine noon in the Middle of Nowhere one day , the story begins with Gavin having a quick conversation with his mother, before she and Eustace leave for a night out alone together, while Gavin and his family took care of the house and Courage.
"Honestly now Gavin ,you didn't really have to do this for us, we'll only be out for one night" states Muriel, to which Gavin says "oh its no trouble mother, I can assure you that we wont let anything happen to your home while you and dad have the best night of your lives."
Muriel felt flattered with Gavin's kind words ,as Eustace who was waiting by the front door, says "your lucky I even agreed to this young man, nothing good was on T.V. anyway" then before leaving, Muriel approaches Gina holding the cowardly dog in her arms ,and pats Courage on his head.
Once the elderly couple said their goodbyes to everyone ,they leave the farmhouse.
Meanwhile out in the backyard, we see Madeline playing with a toy truck ,while Katy was sitting on the porch with her eyes glued to her phone minding their own business, before their mother calls out "girls ,would you mind watching Courage while I get dinner started?!"
"Sure mom!" Katy answers, in which we see Courage walk out before he starts to notice Katy start to grow frustrated over the fact that she was that her phone connection kept dropping, despite the fact that her dad had set up a wifi system for the house weeks ago.
And the reason why from what Katy theorized ,is the fact that despite what their grandparents said about the windmill being a source of power that should never stop turning ,what troubles the teenager about it was the fact that it would often turn super slow on days where there wasn't much wind.
"UGH, it has been the third time this week it does this!" Katy rants "And it has been driving me CRAZY!" She abruptly stands off the porch, shocking the frightened pink dog as she starts to march over to the windmill ,ranting "stupid hunk of junk your better of at a scrap landfill!"
Courage in complete terror, jets toward the frustrated teen as she approaches the windmill ,as he then attempts to hold her back from doing anything, as he begins to babble ,sadly it was not enough to ease her anger, as she kicks the windmill hard causing it to stop turning, doing so while Courage cries out "NOOOOO!"
Katy looking up at the windmill with guilt shrouding her anger, simply says "that can't be good." At that moment ,Gavin and Gina step out from the kitchen to check on them ,as Gavin asks "girls is everything ok out here?" It didn't take long before he and his wife notice the windmill ,and the fact it stopped turning before Gina says "so that explains the power outage."
Suddenly, Madeline gets everyone's attention by asking "mommy daddy whats that?" Pointing to something out in the field ,that's when the family begins to notice something from afar coming toward the farmhouse in a cloud of black smoke ,getting closer and closer.
Courage in a state of fear zips up to the windmill in an attempt to start it back up again ,while the black cloud got closer ,then just as it reaches the farmhouse Courage manages to get the wheel working again, causing the cloud of smoke to abruptly dissolve and vanish.
Gavin out of curiosity and bewilderment, began to wonder what it was causing the black cloud, before returning his attention back to the windmill now working as it was.
"Well what have we here?" Says Gavin, approaching the windmill to inspect it more closely, in which Gina asks him "what are you thinking about dear?"
Gavin simply answers "incredible, this windmill must be at least fifty years old, and it still stands here running who knows how much energy to the farmhouse" Katy joining her father comments "I doubt that."
Then before the Curious man could investigate it further, Courage manages to prevent them doing so with some we'll placed convenient police tape, road blocks, a flashing detour sign, as well as a sign that reads biological hazard.
"Hey there boy, what's all this?" Asks Gavin ,to which Courage starts to babble before shapeshifting into the slow turning windmill, then into a sort of Viking, then into Katy removing her own head afterwards.
Unfortunately Katy interrupts the dog's attempts at a warning ,by asking "hey what are those on the blades?" Looking up at them ,Gavin too notices the strange pictures that where on each blade of the windmill, in which Gavin simply dissmissed them saying "I'm sure that must be a logo for the company that made this old thing, it must have one from some foreign country of some sort."
"That would explain the current speed rate it's going" Katy says ,only for Gavin to simply state "Oh honey it'll be ok once we get a technician or an engineer here to see if we can't fix it up, maybe even replace it with something better" much to the worry of the poor dog, as the family proceed to go inside for the remainder of the day.
That afternoon while Gavin was on the phone with an engineer and Gina was clearing the sink ,the girls where upstairs with Courage where Katy is still remembering what they saw that day.
As she was, Courage and Madeline where searching old boxes that where in the attic until they found what Courage needed ,to his excitement "what did you find Courage?" Asks Madeline , Courage presents to her four photos of the symbols that where on the blades of the windmills.
This makes Madeline go back into their bedroom, and get her big sister saying "Katy Katy! I think Courage wants to show us something" in which Katy groans ,before she decides to join the others in the attic, as we see Courage who had just finished starting up the computer place the pictures in the scanner.
Katy in surprise finds that Courage was capable of working it ,before Courage manages to get the information he needed to show the girls, as the computer narrates "The Windmill was built two hundred and fifty years ago by the first owner of this farmhouse: Farmer Jiles Gallette." In which it presents an image of a very old man in puritan clothing,and a very ginormous beard giving a sign of peace.
Katy and Madeline where not only amazed to know who the first person to live in the farmhouse, was but also how the very old computer was self aware of where they where ,as it continues to explain"He built the windmill for his farm at a time when everyone else was dependent on water wheels ,built by a horde of Vandals" presenting another image of four of the said vandals ,who had very buff muscular appearances, had uniquely styled head gear ,as well as very dangerous weapons that made Madeline hide behind her big sister with a frightened look on her face ,as the computer continued its research.
"When the water dried up" it said "Farmer Gallette was the only man with a working mill. The Vandals hated him for that ,but Gallette kept the Vandals at bay by carving magical symbols into the blades of his windmill wheel" once the computer presents the said symbols on each blade ,Katy starts to piece it together and say "so thats what those where, those where... Magical Vandal repellent?" While Madeline was amazed by what was being told.
The Computer then finishes up his explanation saying "Legend has it: if the windmill EVER stops turning, the Vandals will rise from the dead and seek vengeance on all who possess it" in which leaves the two sisters in a state of shock ,as the last image shown is the four Vandals from earlier, but now with tattered and rusting armor as well as with a more skeletal appearance.
Seeing this story layed out in front of them, Katy and Madeline now realize Courage was trying to warn them of the danger that would have occurred, if the windmill was completely affected by Katy's kick.
Suddenly the attic began to flicker to the shock of the trio ,before Madeline notices a truck come up toward the farmhouse leaving Katy with a very suspicious feeling.
Coming downstairs ,Katy and Madeline where about to tell their parents of the grave danger they're in, but just as they where about to say anything, someone abruptly knocks their door to which Gavin goes to answer saying "that must be them."
Answering the door, he as well as Courage the girls see the person at the door turns out to be a man with blonde hair ,wearing a construction hat, a plump figure as well as some casual work clothes in which Gavin states" you must be the technician I called for" in which the person in question ,pulls out his card and says "Irwin Wilder, chief technician sonny" with a very slight new yorker tone in his voice.
"I got a call about a windmill that might need fixin'?" Asks Irwin ,in which Gavin says "oh yeah its right in the backyard, I was hoping maybe it could be improved" in which Irwin replies "the boys and I will see what we can do" leaving Katy to ask "the boys?"
When the girls peek behind Irwin there where indeed other people with Irwin to assist him ,one of which catches Katy by surprise with a single glance.
It was a boy no older than Katy's age with brown hair, a pointed chin ,light skin, wearing a simple white t shirt, jeans ,and really heavy black boots and when the teenage girl got a good look at the guy, her body stops in place as her stomach begins to wriggle inside ,her heart beating at such a fast rate she felt as though she had been mesmerized by the way he looks up at her greeting her with a simple "hey."
Madeline taking note of her sisters strange behavior , she starts to show concern for her big sister calling out to her while tugging on her arm sadly to no result.
Gavin afterwards ,then takes his girls back inside and says "come on girls lets leave these men to their work" however Courage wasn't willing to just have the men go any closer to the windmill.
"Now what's gotten into that dog?" Wonders Gavin, in which Katy snapping out of her romanticized trance ,turns to her father and says " dad there's something I need you to see upstairs it's really urgent."
Gavin was then taken to the attic to be shown what the girls discovered, while Courage and Madeline stand between the windmill and the workers, hoping to stall them long enough for Katy to convince their father to reconsider his decision.
In the attic once Katy showed her father the entire story of the windmill, she then explains to him "I think this was what Courage was trying to tell us would happen if those guys shut down the windmill completely" Gavin unfortunately was unconvinced ,as he naively says "honestly Katy, I think you're relying to much on technology for information" ruffling her hair afterwards ,as Katy tries to convince her dad of the danger sadly to no avail.
By the time Gavin exits the farmhouse ,again he approaches Courage and Madeline who where still trying to prevent the windmills destruction he starts to grow very annoyed . Turning to Irwin and saying "I'm terribly sorry about my kids, I don't whats come over them" Irwin simply replies " no worries, we actually deal with this type of thing all the time ,which is why I carry this" taking out a small remote control like device from his pocket.
"W-whats that?" Asks Madeline ,in which Irwin says "Tech disruptor ,works on any machine no matter how old it is" then with one push of a button ,the windmill abruptly stops spinning much to Courage and the girls fear, as Irwin says "see nothing to it."
Suddenly Gina walking out with a tray of iced water for the men ,starts to notice the black smoke and ask "is there someone approaching the farm?" and just as Courage feared, it was indeed the skeletal, brutal, monstrous, Vandals charging toward the people near the farmhouse.
