The keepers had made it over to Wayne's house. Amanda was put immediately in magical medical treatment.
They waited a half an hour for Amanda, but nothing was working. No magic that they were using was curing the poison.
"What do we do?" asked Dillard.
"You must go to Animal Kingdom!" said Wayne.
"Not without Amanda!" yelled Jess.
"Stopping the Dark One is more important!" yelled Wayne. "Don't worry, Amanda will be okay. We will not lose her like we lost Finn."
The keepers stared at Wayne and then nodded.
"Okay," said Philby. "Time to go asleep."
The keepers woke up later in Animal Kingdom.
"Okay guys," said Maybeck. "If I remember correctly the Dark One said…"
Before he could finish the keepers heard an alarm going off from the distance.
"What is that?" asked Mattie.
"I think it is coming from Africa!" said Willa. "Come on!"
Everyone nodded and ran off.
As then ran past the Oasis they were blocked by a hoard of cast members and characters running off towards Africa.
They spotted Timon and Pumbaa.
"Timon! Pumbaa!" Jess yelled.
The two ran over to the keepers.
"Hello there Kingdom Keepers!" said Pumbaa.
"What's going on?" asked Luowski.
"It's a jailbreak!" yelled Timon. "All the Overtakers we locked up in the Kilimanjaro Safaris have been set free, and now we have to stop them before they escape!"
The keepers jumped.
"We have to help them!" said Philby.
The keepers nodded and ran off.
When they got there, everyone was already engaged in a fight.
They could see all the Overtakers they had faced before, and ones they didn't face before, fighting.
"Let's go!" said Jess.
Everyone ran down and engaged in the fight.
They grabbed weapons from fallen warriors and began to fight the Overtakers.
Philby and Dillard just killed two pirates when they heard hissing from behind them.
They turned around and saw Gigabyte preparing to strike.
"Oh shit!" said Dillard.
The snake then jumped at them. They dodged him, but he quickly recovered, slithering towards them.
He lunged at Dillard again. Dillard kicked the snake and Philby grabbed his tail.
The snake turned around and lunged at Philby, trying to bite him.
Philby knew Gigabyte wasn't poisonous, but he didn't want him to bite his eyes out. So he dodged him as much as he could.
Gigabyte managed to thrash around so much that Philby threw him to the side.
"Watch out!" said Dillard.
Philby saw Gigabyte jump at him. He slashed at him, but the snake bit down on the sword, pulling it out of Philby's hands.
Gigabyte threw the sword to the side and tackled Philby. He wrapped around his neck and began to squeeze it tightly.
Philby coughed as Gigabyte chocked him. He grabbed the snake's body, attempting to pull him off, but it just squeezed harder.
He thought it was the end of him, until Dillard sliced the snake's head off, killing him for good.
Dillard and Philby stared at Gigabyte's severed head.
"Thanks man," said Philby.
Dillard smiled until they heard the sound of Vikings yelling at them, holding swords above their heads. They sighed and continued to fight.
The girls were fighting pirates.
Charlene was much faster than they were, doing backflips and either stabbing pirates or slicing off their heads.
Jess, Willa, and Mattie weren't that skilled. They mostly did the blocking off pirates attacks and distracting them, leaving them vulnerable for Charlene to finish them off.
Charlene killed four more pirates and stood with the girls, who all laughed at each other.
"I must admit mateys," said a voice. "You've proven yourselves to be skilled."
They turned around and saw Blackbeard standing behind them, with Pete and the Big Bad Wolf.
"Oh great," said Jess.
"Not these jokers," said Willa.
"I told you we would have our revenge once we got out!" said Big Bad Wolf.
"But because we are not fighters, Blackbeard here will kill you for us," said Pete.
Blackbeard laughed and walked towards the girls.
They prepared to attack, until Blackbeard pulled out a pistol and shot them in their chests.
The boys turned around at the sound of gunfire and stared wide-eyed as their girlfriends fell.
"NO!" yelled the boys as they ran over.
Blackbeard laughed as he pulled out another pistol that was on his belt.
"Goodbye keepers," he said.
Luowski clutched his fists and ran up to Blackbeard, punching him in the nose.
"You motherfucker!" he yelled. "NO…ONE…HURTS…MY…FRIENDS!"
He repeatedly punched Blackbeard, until he got a hold of one of his fists. He held it in the air and he pointed his sword at Luowski's chest.
"Time to die matey," said Blackbeard.
He was about to stab Luowski when Maybeck threw a rock at Blackbeard, hitting him in the head.
Luowski had the chance to attack. He knocked the sword out of Blackbeard's hand and then wrapped his arms around his neck.
He kept squeezing him harder and harder until he started coughing.
"Hail…the Dark One…" said Blackbeard before Luowski snapped his neck. He let him fall onto the dirt.
The keepers stared at Pete and the Big Bad Wolf as they began to back away.
"You know what?" asked Pete. "I think we are better off in jail cells."
Big Bad Wolf nodded rapidly.
"Definitely!" he yelled as they ran off back towards the prison.
Luowski brushed dirt off his clothes as he ran back over to the fallen keepers.
"They're alright," said Philby as he examined them. "They'll live."
The girls smiled and kissed their boyfriends.
"Let's get back out there!" said Willa.
They all cheered as they rejoined the fight.
The fought for a while, but managed to weaken the Overtakers enough to get the remaining ones back into the cells.
When the fighting was over the keepers, cast members, and characters stared at the dead Overtakers.
"Security will flip out when they see this," said Philby.
"We'll clean it all up," said a cast member.
"Congratulations!" said a voice.
Everyone turned around. Finn was walking out of the shadows. Standing behind him was Scar, Shere Khan, and Zira.
"I knew that jailbreak and poison would come in handy," said Finn.
"What are you talking about?" growled Jess.
"I mean that I used the poison to hold you guys off so you wouldn't immediately cross over," said Finn.
"What!?" yelled Charlene.
"And then I used that time to cause the jailbreak, which delayed you guys, allowing me to get the relics."
He grinned and pulled two more curved relics from behind his back.
"Oh no!" said Maybeck.
"That's right!" said Finn. "You failed again!"
"Why?" asked Philby. "Why tell us where you were going tonight? Why tell us if we were going to fail?"
Finn grinned.
"So I could see your faces when you realized that you failed," he said.
"You sadistic, twisted, and evil motherfucker!" said Luowski.
"Thank you traitor!" said Finn in a sarcastic voice.
He looked at the keepers. He then pulled out something from behind his back and threw it at the keepers.
"Here you go," he said. It was a vile of blue liquid.
"What is this?" asked Maybeck.
"An antidote for the poison I gave to Amanda," said Finn.
The keepers stared wide-eyed at Finn.
"You're giving us a cure for Amanda?" asked Mattie.
"Don't get too happy," said Finn. "I'm giving it to her because I decided that I want to kill all of you at the same time."
The keeper's smiles faded away.
"Farewell keepers," said Finn. "Next time don't be late for the party."
He laughed menacingly as he and the Overtakers disappeared.
"We failed again!" sighed Dillard.
"Not entirely," said Willa. "We got a cure for Amanda and we won the battle."
"She's right," said Jess. "If we didn't win the battle then those Overtakers would have gotten loose all over the parks."
The keepers managed to smile.
"Let's wake up," said Philby.
They all pressed the return.
When they woke up they gave Amanda who was probably minutes away from dying the cure.
She woke up completely healed one minute later.
Jess hugged her sister tightly.
"Did you stop Finn?" she asked.
Jess shook her head.
"No he got away," she sighed.
Amanda frowned.
"We'll get him next time," said Amanda.
"Next time we won't go to dinner with him," said Maybeck.
"I bet he wasn't even going to kill himself like he said he would," said Dillard.
"Guys it's over!" said Mattie. "We should just head home. We will pick this up tomorrow."
The keepers nodded. They said goodbye to Mattie and Wayne as they headed home.
"Jess?" asked Amanda.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Do you think there is any way to break this curse?" she asked.
"I have no idea," said Jess. "Not even I remember how Finn broke me of my curse when I was Jezebel."
Amanda hugged her sister.
"We have to find a way," she said. "Every night I have nightmares where the Dark One is torturing me."
Jess hugged her sister tightly back.
"What I do know is that I will not stop until I see those shimmering green eyes and that happy smile on his face again," said Jess.
They both walked home, with bits of hope in their hearts.
Yes! Amanda is all better, but the Dark One got away again. But could there still be...hope? Can the keepers find a way to stop the Dark One and break Finn from this curse? What is the most powerful thing that can break a curse?
Stay tune to find out!
See you next update!
