The Sealing Curse of Christmas

by Generation's Incarnation

This is a 3 Chaptered story from a prototype version that I created back in December of last year. I wrote it just for fun, but never could think of an ending for it. But I was inspired enough to draw a picture about the story. The title might not make a lot of sense, but it was all I could come up with at the time.

2. Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Trouble Brews on the Night Before Christmas

It was a clear day in the snow covered mountains of the Swiss Alps. In one particular area, a large bulge on a flat, snowy landscape always seemed to glow with a green colored sphere bubble surrounding it.

The mysterious cocoon became a popular tourist attraction. Every time anybody would wipe away the snow to get a better look inside, the bubble would glow to a brighter shade of green and the snow would rise back up from the ground to cover the exposed spot again.

Nobody could explain what it was, or how it got there. But since it wasn't posing any threat to the natural habitat, people went on with their daily lives. And as Christmas was just around the corner, the world couldn't possibly get any happier.

However, three strains of incidents have left the authorities of London baffled. On the 19th of December, three of Danger Mouse's top arch villains were found in an unexpected form of unconsciousness. Pink Princess Dawn, Count Duckula, and the Queen of Weevils were found immediately placed in Arkwright Asylum's infirmary ward for further analysis on their conditions.

The boffins discovered that an enormous amount of their mystical essences and magical powers, based off their personal tastes in fashion, had been extracted from them…so much of it taken, that it had left the villainous trio comatose.

Princess Dawn's maid had called as the first witness in her giant pink mansion; the citizens of Transylvania stormed Count Duckula's castle to demand why their proud nation's red full moon had turned white in their area, only to find him in the same state; and the Queen of Weevils was still in her magical force field prison cell when a guard came in to serve her food.

In all three places where the incidents happened, there was a set of strange shaped letters written in large black paint on the walls above each of the victims. The messages were quickly examined, copied down, and sent to the Deciphering Department. Aside from the giant eyeballs that were infused in each letter or symbol, it turned out that the weird designs were a similar match to the English alphabet.

The current Professor Squawkencluck, had phoned her grandfather, the original Professor von Squawkencluck about the mysterious shaped markings that no one had ever seen before. Since the discovery of alternate universes, Danger Mouse believed that the strange set of alphabet letters came from a different world. And he was suddenly developing an ominous feeling that Onihime may be involved in all of this.

Once DM's agency placed the three messages together, they discovered it to be a collaboration of just one message with the next set continuing from Dawn's, to Duckula's, and then finally ending with the Weevil Queen:

"23 YEARS WILL PASS BY UNTIL SHE REACHES AGE 28 ON THE FOURTH DAY ON THE EIGHTH MONTH. THE DARK MAIDEN, ONIHIME WILL SEARCH FOR HIM, AND EVENTUALLY FIND HIM.

"AS LONG AS THE DARK MAIDEN STAYS CONSCIOUS IN THE WHITE WONDER'S UNIVERSE, THE PORTAL TO THE TWISTYVERSE WILL REMAIN SHUT FOREVER. HOWEVER, SHOULD THE WHITE WONDER CHOOSE TO SEAL HER AWAY, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A CHANCE FOR THE TWISTYVERSE TO CROSS OVER INTO THIS WORLD.

"TO ENSURE HER GRACE'S WISH, WE DISTURB THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF GIRLISH PINK; VAMPIRIC RED AND PURPLE; AND WITCH'S BLACK INTO OUR HANDS AS TREASURED ORBS TO HER HIBERNATED SPOT. THE WHITE WONDER WILL HAVE NO CHOICE, BUT TO CHANT THE SOUND OF AWAKENING."

The Bloody Fiends. They weren't only planning to offer the villains' powers to Onihime; they were also using them as bait to lure Danger Mouse to her sealed barrier. But unless he didn't act fast, the comatose victims might suffer a fate far worse than their current state. The Arkwright Asylum's medical staff reported seconds later that the Princess, Duckula and Queen Weevil's lives would burn out by Midnight on Christmas Day if their essences weren't returned to their bodies.

DM scowled. The agency had wasted two days deciphering that message. And now three of his notorious villains' lives hung in the balance between life and death. But what was also eating away at him was why Onihime despised the Twistyverse so much.

"Come on, Penfold," he said finally. "Let's go."

A/N: Too bad keyboards don't have the option of typing in the Pokémon Unown letters for soft copied stories like this one. That's basically what the message in this chapter is comprised of on my hard copied draft at home.
