CHAPTER SEVEN: DOUBLE-CROSSED
At the House of Mouse, Culinary Quint and Edgar were still chasing Timon and Pumbaa around the dining area, and at one point, the warthog had managed to trip up the French chef and send him sprawling across the floor, where the meerkat searched his pockets and found the vial still intact. Edgar had tried to grab Timon, but he missed and got tripped up by Pumbaa.
Just then, there was a flash of green/red light, and those in the dining area gasped in fear when they saw the villains appeared. The meerkat and the warthog quickly retreated to the kitchen, taking the vial with them while Culinary Quint and Edgar quickly got to their feet with sheepish expressions on their faces.
"You!" Donald Duck exclaimed, jumping off the stage to confront the villains with Goofy, Daisy Duck, and Pluto, who was growling menacing when he saw the cage containing their friends. "Give us back our friends and leave at once! You all are banned from this nightclub!" he added, glaring at the villains was he was also privately relieved to see that Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Sunrise Blossom, Dr. Whooves, and Derpy were all alive.
"Oh, we're not going anyway," Ursula said smugly while sending the cage flying into the kitchen, where they heard the screams of those inside the cage, and a loud clanging sound when the cage hit the floor. "Don't worry, my dears, we have other plans for your friends."
Jafar took out a large bottle filled with the same red-orange liquid. "And now," he said, raising it above his head. "To finish this once and for all!" He then threw the bottle onto the floor, where it smashed open with the liquid instantly becoming mist that engulfed the entire room before anyone could react. Moments later the mist faded and the only ones unaffected were Ursula, Cruella De Vil, Jasper, Horace, Hades, Gaston, Scar, Maleficent with her pet crow, and Jafar.
The guests, Culinary Quint, Edgar, Pete, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, Pluto, and the other employees were staring off into space with dazed expressions.
"Now the House of Mouse is ours," Jafar declared and soon he and his fellow villains were all laughing, thrilled with their victory.
Meanwhile in the kitchen, Pumbaa had managed to catch the cage and Timon had knocked over a pot to make it sound like the cage had hit the floor. The warthog put the cage on a table and both he and the meerkat peered at their friends with concern.
"Are you guys ok?" Pumbaa asked. "What happen?"
"We'll explain after we get back to our normal size," Mickey Mouse promised, his voice more squeaky then usual due to his small size. "But how are we going to return to our normal size?"
Sunrise Blossom pondered this and she got an idea. "I can get us out of here," she said.
"Are you sure?" Dr. Whooves inquired as they gathered around her. "If you use your magic on the door, we'll all get a shock," he reminded her.
"Trust me, Doc," the orange unicorn said reassuringly. "I know what I'm doing." She began concentrating, her horn glowing green, and with a flash of light, she managed to teleport them out of the cage and onto the kitchen floor. She staggered a little and Derpy kept her from falling over. "Whew! Took a bit more magic then I thought it would, but we're out of the cage at least."
Minnie Mouse was impressed, but she did point out something important. "We might be out of the cage, but we're still the sizes of bugs."
"Not for long," said Sunrise Blossom, her horn glowing again as she concentrated on a second spell and with another flash of green light, she and the others were soon back to their normal sizes. "There. Now what's going on out there?" she wondered. "The villains are laughing, but I don't hear any of the others talking or anything."
The Time Lord went to the doors and peered out into the dining room. What he saw made his hearts sink. "Oh no," he whispered, turning back to the group. "They put them under some kind of spell, including Culinary Quint and Pete."
"Pete said something about the guests not being able to eat some kind of soup that the chef prepared," Mickey Mouse recalled. "What did he mean by that?"
"Pumbaa and I saw Culinary Quint put some kind of liquid into the soup," Timon informed them, showing them the vial. "We managed to spill the soup and I took this from that so-called chef."
Sunrise Blossom magically took the vial from him and examined the contents for a moment, and her heart sank into her stomach. "Uh oh, I recognized this liquid."
"What is it?" Derpy asked.
"It's a sleeping potion," the orange unicorn explained. "It's made from the Dusk-bloom mushroom, which is only found in Equestria. Had your guests eaten that soup, this would've put them to sleep, and that most likely would've given Pete an excuse to shut down the nightclub."
"Would have that sleeping potion harmed our guests?" Minnie Mouse asked, concerned.
Sunrise Blossom shook her head. "No, when this type of potion is made, it's a diluted version of the mushroom, and they only would've slept depending how much of the potion would be in their systems." She set the vial aside and went to the doorway to look out at the dining area and the villains. "Unfortunately, that's not what they used on everypony – I mean everyone out there," she amended.
"What did they use on our friends and our guests?" Mickey Mouse asked.
"It's called Dust-bloom Mist," the orange unicorn explained, her expression becoming grim. "I've encountered it before, and it allows the pony, or person in this case, to control whoever has been exposed to it." She turned back to look at the kitchen and her expression brightened. "However, I think I know how I can reverse the effects if you have some kind of focusing crystal or a batch of mirrors as I know a spell that will work, and I think I can come up with a few potions of my own to give the villains a very hard time."
Mickey and Minnie both grinned. "Just tell us what you need." And Sunrise Blossom grinned in return.
The villains had no idea of what they were up against.
