The keepers stared in shock at what whom in front of them. The mouse. The legend. Mickey Mouse was standing in front of them.
"Are you…actually him?" asked Maybeck.
"Do I look like him?" Mickey asked.
"Yes!" exclaimed Jess. "You do look like him! You are him!"
"Then I am him!" said Mickey happily. "Mickey Mouse is here!"
Amanda couldn't help herself but run up and hug Mickey.
Mickey happily put his hand around her.
"I am so glad to finally meet you," she said. "But I am sorry to do this just after you woke up."
Mickey smiled.
"I have been ready my entire life for anything," he said. "I will lead you guys in anyway to anywhere."
Everyone smiled as Amanda released him.
"Do you know who we are first off?" asked Luowski.
"Of course," said Mickey. "You are the Kingdom Keepers."
He looked at them but then frowned.
"But where is Lawrence?" he asked.
Everyone frowned.
"That is why we are here and why we need you," said Dillard. "Finn has been cursed by the Overtakers."
Mickey's frown turned into a glare.
"Those fiends!" he said. "What has Maleficent or Chernabog or Hades done!?"
"It wasn't one of the three," said Mattie. "It was the Evil Queen and Tia Dalma. They placed a supposedly, unbreakable, curse on him and turned him into a being called the Dark One."
"Oh no," said Mickey. "But what happened to the three?"
"They were sealed up in Chernabog's Underworld weeks ago," said Willa. "But the Dark One is going to create a portal tonight that can release them."
Mickey gulped.
"If they are released again and the Dark One controls them," said Mickey. "Then all of Disney will be destroyed."
"That's why we need you to lead us to stop him," said Amanda. "We have accepted the fact that the only way to stop him is to kill him, so we need you to lead us to battle tonight."
Mickey put his hand on Amanda's shoulder.
"I will help you," said Mickey. "But first I need a few of my items."
Amanda nodded as well as all the keepers.
"What do you need?" asked Jess.
I need my wizard robe and hat, and as well my sword," said Mickey.
The keepers stared at Mickey.
"But, where are we going to get those?" asked Philby.
"I…I think I may have an idea where the sword is," said Maybeck.
"Where?" asked the keepers.
"I think he may mean the sword from Fantasmic," said Maybeck.
The keepers smiled.
"You are a genius!" said Charlene.
Maybeck smiled and bowed.
"What would you do without the great Maybeck?" he asked. "Now come and give me my reward."
Charlene rolled her eyes and walked up and kissed him.
"Well that's one item," said Amanda. "But where is the hat and robe?"
"The hat and the robe are one," said Mickey. "If we find the hat I will get the robe."
"Well I think I may know where it may be," said Luowski. "It is in the same park that the sword is in."
The keeper's eyes popped open. They knew what he was talking about.
"You don't mean the huge sorcerer's hat in the entrance plaza of Hollywood Studios do you?" Mattie asked.
"Yes! That's it!" said Mickey. "It was an perfect disguise. The Overtakers would never suspect a giant sorcerer's hat to be the actual hat!"
"So it is the real hat!" said Amanda.
"But how are we going to move that giant hat?" asked Philby.
Mickey smiled.
"Magic," he said. "I still have some, even without the hat. Enough to break the disguise spell."
The keepers looked at each other and smiled.
"Let's go then!" Amanda said. "To Hollywood Studios!"
Everyone cheered as they hopped on the monorail.
The keepers arrived soon in Hollywood Studios.
Amanda, Jess, Philby, and Dillard went to get the sword while Charlene, Maybeck, Willa, Luowski, and Mattie went with Mickey to get the hat, which was right in front of them when the got there.
"See you later," said Amanda.
"Watch out for any possible Overtaker traps," said Maybeck.
They nodded and ran off.
The others ran up to the hat with Mickey.
"So what happens when they find the hat gone tomorrow or when anyone comes here?" asked Mattie.
Mickey smiled.
"We'll think of something," he said. "Now stand back."
The keepers stepped back and watched.
Mickey raised his hands and they began to glow.
He then shot light from his hands at the hat.
At first nothing happened. But then a few minutes later, something amazing happened.
The hat began to glow and lift off the hands holding it and ground.
Then the hat began to turn from hard material to fuzz. It shrunk until it was the size of a regular hat.
The keepers watched as the hat floated into Mickey's hands.
"There it is," said Charlene.
Mickey smiled and put it on.
Power waves flowed from Mickey as his red robes replaced his overalls.
He was wearing the robes from Fantasia.
"You look like you're ready to fight," said Willa.
Mickey smiled.
"Awesome!" said a voice.
The keepers turned around and saw the others holding the sword.
"No problems?" asked Maybeck.
"We wouldn't have the sword if there were no problems," said Amanda.
They handed the sword to Mickey and smiled.
"Now we are ready," he said.
"We shall be here tonight," said Philby.
"I will gather an army ready to fight," said Mickey. "And find out where the ceremony is taking place."
The keepers smiled.
They got back to Magic Kingdom and said goodbye to Mattie and Mickey as they went to gather an army.
Amanda and Jess walked back home.
"Tonight we finally stop the Dark One," she said. "I have accepted the fact that we have to kill him to stop him, but I just wish there was another way."
All she could do was hope for victory tonight. The fate of the world rested in their hands tonight.
All right! Mickey is alive and now armed, and the keepers are prepared to do what they know is right to stop the Dark One. But could there possibly be another way? Can they stop him some other way? Is there…hope? I don't know but all I know is that saying the same thing over and over gets very boring and annoying. Stay tuned for more!
See you next update.
