Chapter 17: Wonderball Army
A bouncy little jingle started playing from the spoon, despite the fact that no speakers were visible. Then voices started singing, "What's in a Wonderball?" Three giant chocolate balls rolled onto the stage and came to a halt.
"Wonderballs!" exclaimed Sora. "Those things are amazing! I wonder what's inside…"
"The spoon…summoned…WONDERBALLS?!" seethed Billy as steam puffed out from his nonexistent ears. "What in the worlds am I supposed to do with these?"
"Oh no, Billy's summoned a Wonderball army!" shrieked Furby. Sora approached the middle Wonderball cautiously. When he saw it wasn't moving he sunk is teeth in and pulled out a huge chunk of chocolate into his mouth, leaving a tiny hole. Before he pulled away, something sugar coated poked him in the eye.
"Ouch, something poked me!" shouted Sora as he jumped back. Well…that's what he meant to shout but his mouth was stuffed full of chocolate so it sounded more like "Ow, ummin okey!"
"What was that?" asked Riku. Before Sora could repeat himself, the Wonderballs started vibrating and tiny cracks began appearing in the chocolaty surfaces.
Rabbit moved up from the audience and took the stage next to his boss, who had picked up the spoon. He really hoped Trix would pop out.
"Maybe this won't be so bad… I'll have power!" shouted Billy triumphantly, and then he added as a side note, "And I won't need Furbina for anything. This could turn out better than I expected." He hugged his glowing spoon.
"What's in these Wonderballs?" asked Rabbit.
"I don't know, didn't you read the instructions?"
"Some of them…"
"Wait, so you don't know what's going to happen…?"
"Not exactly." Billy seethed momentarily, but kept his cool.
That's when it happened, all three Wonderballs split open with smoke pouring out of them. The audience sat in suspense until finally…something showed itself. A Wonderball army popped out, and the candies were individual Disney characters from various movies including Simba, Abu, Flick, and more.
Riku, Sora, and Furby's mouths dropped open in horror. There was just so many of them.
"Now would be a really good time to have a keyblade…" muttered Riku. The army marched across the stage and came to a halt in front of Billy.
"Get them!" he ordered with a grin on his face. The candies charged at Sora and Riku, who stood in horror as they approached. However, that look of terror soon turned into a small grin. The candies were bite-sized.
Sora's stomach happened to growl at that moment, and he licked his lips hungrily as the candies ran towards him. There was an audible gulp from the charging candies as some of them slowed the rush; however, the stampede continued.
When the candies got close to Sora and Riku, Sora reached down and popped one in his mouth.
"Ew…Sora, you just ate that off the floor. Who knows where else that thing has b-!" He was interrupted as swarms of bite-sized candy crawled up his legs and soon covered his body.
"Heave!" shouted the candies as they began to push him backwards. They then knocked him to the ground alongside Sora, who was eating any candies that got close to his mouth or on his hands.
"What now?" asked Riku.
"Just keep eating!" shouted Sora with a mouthful of candy.
Riku turned his face in disgust. Nevertheless, he began to reluctantly eat the candy.
Billy saw what was happening and quickly gave orders to Rabbit, "Quick, tie them up before they escape!" Rabbit grabbed some nearby Nerds Rope and tossed it to the swarming candies. They successfully tied up Sora and Riku, and then the Wonderball army began to function like ants and move the two across the stage.
Furby had somehow managed to get on top of the big television that hung over the stage… Although, even he didn't know how he had gotten up there without the use of wings or arms. Furby shrugged, and then continued to quiver in fear. He hated evil miniature candy…almost as much as he hated glow sticks. He gulped. He knew what he had to do. It was up to him to be the hero.
Down on stage, Billy stood triumphantly over Sora and Riku. During the chaos, the audience had fled as the horde of candy had begun to invade the aisles. Sora burped loudly and attempted to clutch his aching stomach but his binds held him in place.
"I'm not hungry anymore…" he groaned. "Too…much…candy. Riku, you'll have to go on without me."
"Sora, you idiot, you're not dying!"
"I'm not? Oh, nevermind then."
"You fools! You thought you could stand up against me and the power of my spoon! Now I shall take over the worlds!" exclaimed Billy.
Above, Furby grabbed a nearby cable and braced himself for the jump. He took a dramatic pause and leaped from the safety of the suspended television.
"AHHHHHHH!" he screamed as he crashed into Billy, causing the Sour Patch Kid to drop the spoon and send it clattering across the stage.
"Here's our chance, Sora!" exclaimed Riku. Sora, who had still not completely overcome his phobia of Furby's radioactivity, was frozen in shock at the heroics of the stuffed bird. Both of them rolled over onto the remaining candy and managed to push themselves up and untie their bonds. If there's one thing bite-sized candies can't do, it is to tie a proper knot.
"Rabbit don't let them get the spoon!" shouted Billy as Riku ran over to pick it up. Rabbit snapped out of the trance he had been in during the chaos, and dived into action. Both Riku and he froze an equal distance away from the spoon.
Shoot-out music whistled along as the whole stage went still, all except for the constant drip of Rabbit's foam falling to the floor. Tumbleweed bounced along between the two contenders.
Then Sora ran in between them and picked up the spoon and poured the proper dosage of Pepto Bismol onto it.
"Yay Pepto Bismol!" he exclaimed triumphantly.
"Uh oh…" said Rabbit.
"What do you mean 'uh oh'?" asked Billy as he shoved Furby off of him and took a stand next to Sora.
"You're not supposed to eat anything with it…"
"Why?"
Rabbit didn't have to answer. Suddenly, the miniature candies were being vacuumed up and the Wonderballs reformed their spherical shape. Only the bite that Sora took out of one was missing. Then, the Wonderballs were sucked up into the sky.
Billy looked on with horror, "NO!" He fell to his knees. He had been defeated.
