Chapter 3:
A Child vs. The Mistress
Blurry was reading a book he had brought along with him to Disney World. It was an old book that his mother had given to him for his 10th birthday. It was a story about a detective and a princess who hated each other but later on fell in love. Blurry had read the book over 13 times. He thought it was a really good book, and didn't like to read anything else. Just as he was about to finish the second to last chapter, the old telephone on the other side of the room rang. Blurry looked and set down his book to get up and answer the phone.
"Hello?" Blurry said into the phone.
"Oh! Blurry! Thank goodness!" Merlin said on the other side of the phone. Blurry wondered where Merlin had gone. It was at least 10:30 at night and Merlin said that he was going to run an errand, but that was 4 hours ago. Before Blurry could ask, Merlin spoke again. "The Good Fairies need our help! But unfortunately Hades' minions have me pinned down. And at tea time, no less!"
"Merlin. It's 10:31pm. How is that-"
"No time, my boy!" Merlin interrupted Blurry. "I need you to find the Fairies and carry on without me for now. One of the most feared of all villains is attempting to get this crystal piece-Oh dear." Merlin said worried over the phone. Blurry knew exactly what was wrong.
"You lost the crystal piece, didn't you?" He asked. Merlin stuttered a bit.
"What-No! I-I...I just don't have it on me...my boy."
"So...you lost it." Blurry clarified. Merlin groaned at Blurry before saying, "Just go out to Fantasyland again and find the Good Fairy, Merryweather, and help her out!" Then Merlin hung up before Blurry said anything else. The teenager just shrugged and put the phone back down before heading out of the tower.
Blurry hurried to Fantasyland and knocked on the door to a nice, little cottage, and the door just opened a little. Blurry opened the door to see the blue fairy, Merryweather searching through some books.
"Oh, now, where is that dungeon escape spell?" She asked out loud. Blurry cleared his throat to gain her attention. Merryweather looked and greeted Blurry. "Oh hello! You must be Blurry Temputus, Merlin told me about you." She said.
"Yes, that's me." Blurry replied.
"Well, thank goodness you're here." She said. "That wicked Maleficent has returned. Let me show you." Merryweather use her magic on a nearby book and Blurry walked over to see the scene play out. It the Dark Fairy, Maleficent, talking to none other than Hades.
"Here's the deal." Hades told her. "Your capture the Crystal of the Magic Kingdom and I give you a 'Get-Out-of-the-Underworld' Free Card. What do you say?" He asked. The scene changed to Maleficent stealing the crystal piece from Merlin while he was busy with Pain and Panic.
"So Maleficent came back and stole the crystal shard!" Merryweather explained. The scene changed again to Maleficent inside her castle.
"What a shame the Lord of the Dead won't be getting the crystal he so desperately desires." Maleficent told her minions. "I'm afraid I've decided to use it to reclaim my rightful place of power instead." She laughed before ordering her minions, "Prepare my trap!" The minions then when after the Three Good Fairies, and captured Fauna and Flora, but Merryweather barely escaped.
"That's harsh…" Blurry mumbled.
"We've got to save Flora and Fauna!" Merryweather said. She then looked back at the book and found something. "Oh, here's that spell! From this list of three, I'll need help from thee." She told Blurry.
"OK...So, we need to rescue Flora and Fauna, get back the crystal shard, and stop Maleficent from taking over." Blurry clarified.
"Exactly!" Merryweather replied. "There's no time to waste! We must hurry!"
"In that case…" Blurry's hands glowed a pink aura and he said, "Warp Portal!" A small portal then opened before him and Merryweather. The blue fairy floated there in shock before she heard Blurry say, "Ladies first." She looked at the teen and nodded her head and flew through the portal, followed by Blurry. They appeared in the dungeon inside Maleficent's stronghold, and the two were standing right in front of the guard of Flora and Fauna's dungeon.
"Listen," Merryweather whispered to Blurry, making sure not wake the sleeping guard up. "While you take care of the guard, dear, I'll sneak into the dungeon and get Flora and Fauna ready to escape. Then we break them out!" As Merryweather flew into hiding, Blurry walked up to the guard and flicked the guard's forehead. The pig guard woke up and saw Blurry.
"Halt intruder!" He ordered before swinging his axe at the teenager. Blurry, however, jumped out of the way. Blurry summoned his Space bow and arrow again and shot the pig guard. However, it didn't harm him, but more like trapped in a small space of paralysis. That's when Blurry shot another arrow up and made the space around the bricks above collapse, causing the bricks to fall on top of the guard. But as a bonus, the guard also fell through the floor and down. Just then, Merryweather appeared to again and told Blurry, "The window's blocked and sealed with evil magic. We have to break down the door!"
"Not a problem." Blurry told the blue fairy. Blurry's hands glowed pink again and the door was also glowing pink. Blurry then clapped and crushed his hand together, and the space around the door started crushing the door into little pieces. Then, when the way was opened, Flora, the red fairy, and Fauna, the green fairy, came out.
"Oh, thank you for rescuing us, young man!" Flora said to Blurry.
"And with Three Good Fairies to help now I'm sure you can stop Maleficent!" Merryweather encouraged.
"Alright, let's get out of here!" Blurry started opening another portal but the minute after it opened, the closed before Blurry and fairies could walk through. Blurry tried again, but the same thing happened. "Something in the castle is blocking me." The teenager said. "We're going to have to get out here on our own." Blurry hurried out of the dungeon area, follow by the fairies, trying to find the exit. Blurry turned every corridor and checked every room he could get into to try and find a way out. But unfortunately, he lost Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather because he was running too fast. When he noticed they weren't behind him anymore, Blurry was about to groan loudly in annoyance but stopped when heard a voice down the next corridor.
"Are we ready, my pets?" Blurry peeked out from behind the wall and saw Maleficent there, talking to her minions. The henchmen nodded and Maleficent handed them a bag as she said, "Take the crystal shard and prepare the device. Once I cast my spell and conquer this Land, summon our friend from the Underworld." Maleficent scoffed. "He thinks he can simply claim his coveted crystal, but instead he'll walk into my trap." Blurry was about to run off and find the fairies and get out of there when…
"Shall we welcome our unexceptional visitor?" Blurry froze and didn't move an inch. It was quiet for a moment before he heard Maleficent say, "Don't be shy now, dear child. Come here." He had no control of his body. Blurry started to walk back and towards Maleficent, but he wasn't doing, it the evil fairy that was doing it with magic. Blurry stopped at least 2 feet away from the Mistress of all Evil. Then felt himself regain control of his body, but Blurry didn't run away, he just stood there because he knew that if he ran, Maleficent would just make him come to her. She gave Blurry a chilling smile as she looked at him.
"So, you must be Blurry Temputus." She assumed. "The child of Time and Space."
Blurry shrugged his shoulders, "Yeah, that's me. How'd you know?"
"The Lord of the Dead told us to look out for a boy with strange abilities." Maleficent answered. "I'm guessing that would be you." Blurry narrowed his eyes at the fairy as she continued. "However, I've done my research on the Time and Space Family, but they don't have a son named Blurry, but they DO have a son named Conroy." Her smiled disappeared as she glared at Blurry. "So...are you really who you say you are?" Blurry didn't answer her, he didn't say a word.
Just then, Maleficent blasted Blurry with magic. He tried to dodge it, but the magic blast was faster and nailed Blurry in the stomach. The teen cried out in pain as his back hit the stone wall. He looked up at the evil fairy as she readied another attack, but suddenly…
"Blurry!" The Three Good Fairies hurried to the scene and, all at the same time, blasted their powerful spells at Maleficent.
"No!" Maleficent was pushed back by the spells and her pet crow was turned into stone. She growled as she looked and saw the Good Fairies guarding Blurry, who was trying to get up from the attack. "You have the advantage this time, but I shall not be stopped!" Maleficent laughed as she teleported away and out of the castle.
"That wicked old witch didn't fight fair!" Merryweather said. "Running off like that just when you had her." Flora and Fauna helped Blurry up.
"Thanks…" Blurry told the fairies. "She must be going to set her plan into action."
"That could be right." Fauna agreed.
"Oh my." Flora gasped. "Oh, let's hope not." Blurry tried to open a portal again, despite Fauna telling him he shouldn't use too much of his energy, and this time a pink portal did open for them. The Fairies and Blurry walked through and into an open field near a small town. Blurry looked and saw Maleficent there and she was talking to Hades.
"Recovering the Crystal will be but a trifling task once I'm in control." She told Hades.
"Well, that's reassuring." Hades said. "Because, and I know this is just going to sound crazy, but my minions suggested that you already HAD the crystal. Of course, I said you would tell me if you did, so, you'll summon me when you have things wrapped up?" He asked.
"Of course, my liege." Maleficent said with a slight bow. Hades teleported away and Maleficent started preparing her spell as she chanted, "A Forest of Thorns shall be their tomb, born through the skies of a fog of doom! And with the Crystal's power in hand, none but I shall rule the land!" The magic spell worked and the land started becoming engulfed with black thorn vines and it was spreading fast. Maleficent laughed as she walked away and teleported back to her castle. Blurry and the Good Fairies watched in horror as the vines started coming their way. Blurry then used Time Energy and froze the vines in time, but struggling to keep it like that. The teenager turned to the three fairies and said, "I could use a little help here! Please!"
"Come on, girls!" Flora encouraged. "Let's combine our magic and counter Maleficent's spell!" The fairies charged up their magic powers and blasted them at the same time. And combined with Blurry's current Time Energy, the spell was successful. The black thorn vines disappeared and the land was brought back to normal.
"Well done, everyone!" Merryweather said. "We showed her!" Blurry panted a bit but stood up straight and told the blue fairy, "Actually, I don't think we showed her anything yet."
"Blurry is correct." Flora agreed. "Until Maleficent is gone, we cannot rest."
"Then we have to take her out now." Blurry said as he opened another pink portal and jumped through. Soon, Blurry ended up back in Maleficent's castle, and just in time to see Maleficent setting up her trap for Hades.
"Prepare my trap to be turned against the boy and the Good Fairies first, should they come around here again." Maleficent told her minions.
"Maleficent!" Blurry shouted, confronting the evil fairy. She gasped and looked at Blurry.
"You! Hear me, boy, now you will face me and all the power of my fury!" She then started transforming from an evil fairy into a fearsome, black dragon. Blurry back up a bit, frightened. Maleficent blew flames at the boy but he jumped out of the way. Blurry's Space Arrows, they weren't meant to harm another being, but to more manipulate the area around them. But then, Blurry spotted a metal arrow on the floor. He dove for it, prepared the Space Bow with the metal arrow, and fired it at the dragon. It was a direct hit. Maleficent screeched in pain before turning to her stupid minions, telling them, "Prepare the trap to be turned against them first!" One henchman understood what she mean and told the others to prepare the trap.
Blurry noticed the bag attached to the henchman's, feeling the magic from the crystal shard inside. Blurry held out his hands, his right hand glowing blue and his left glowing pink. Blurry's Magic was enough to activate crystal's power and send a powerful blast towards the henchmen and Maleficent.
"You fools! No!" Maleficent cried before letting out one last mighty roar as a dragon. She then disappeared into the ground and back into the Underworld. Blurry let out heavy breaths, using up most of his energy to activate crystal. But who knew that only one shard had THAT much power? Blurry then remembered and hurried as fast as he could, he grabbed the crystal and tried to run out of the castle before anyone else saw him. However…
"So, it's been a long time, hasn't it, kid?" Blurry froze again and sighed. He turned around to see Hades. He didn't say a word to the Lord of the Dead. So, Hades did all the talking. "I mean, look at ya, kid! How old are you now, 16 or something?"
"..I'm 18, Hades." Blurry corrected him.
"Yeah, sure…" Hades waved it off. "So, where is everybody?" He asked before sniffing the air around him and saying, "Wait a minute, is that...burnt dragon?" Blurry just shrugged his shoulders, not really in the mood for this.
"And a trap, for me?" Hades asked as he looked at the trap next to him that Maleficent had set up earlier. "Aw, you shouldn't have, kid, really."
"It was Maleficent's idea." Blurry informed him.
"Well, I guess I kind of expected that from the Mistress of Evil. But I tell ya, kid, watching a villain of her caliber is such a joy, I just couldn't bring myself to interfere." The God said as he summoned a cigar and lit it with his thumb. He then looked at his hourglass wristwatch and looked back Blurry with an evil smirk. "Listen, kid, I've gotta go, so I'll let you walk away with this one. But let me give you a little warning…"
"Oh really?" Blurry questioned. "What's the warning?" Hades then teleported for his original spot and appeared in front of Blurry and grabbed his neck and tightened his grasp. Blurry choked a little in surprise as he looked up at Hades.
"You get in the way of my plans again, and I'll make sure you never see your high-and-mighty parents again." Hades growled, turning a bit red. He let go of Blurry's neck and the teenager coughed a bit, trying to regain some air. He looked up and saw Hades walking away before he teleported back to the Underworld, leaving Blurry alone in the abandoned castle.
"I just love happy endings." Flora said with a happy sigh. Blurry returned for the castle with shard, and returned it to Merlin. He explained to the old wizard and the Good Fairies what happened with Maleficent but didn't explain his encounter with Hades.
"Well done, my boy!" Merlin told Blurry. "Let's head home, now, it's pretty and you look exhausted, Blurry!"
"You can say that again…" Blurry mumbled.
