Now you're probably wondering what happened to Whizzer. Well...

Inside a cave, Whizzer was tied to a stalagmite. A taller red and orange bird with blonde hair and a black dress approached him.

A.N. I picked Mayzie to play the villainess Zelda because Zelda tricks Rogers later on, who's being played by Horton. So since Mayzie tricked Horton in the Horton Hatches an Egg and Seussical stories I thought it would be a good fit.

"My name is Mayzie." The red and orange bird said to Whizzer. "I'm only going to tell you this once so listen carefully."

"Oh yes, yes of course." Whizzer said nervously.

"Many years ago after being banished from my homeland for developing the spell version of the Forbidden Arts." Mayzie began.

Mayzie created a magical screen that showed Swan Castle back when Rothbart was living there. But obviously before Uniqua was brought there since there was no Mayzie when Uniqua was trapped there. The scene moved forward through the castle and down the secret passageway.

"Rothbart came to the castle at Swan Lake, where I was hiding out." Mayzie continued. "Originally he came up with a potions version of the Forbidden Arts, but he was discovered and banished as well, losing all his powers in the process. He lived in despair until I took him in. I roused his spirit and inspired him to begin anew! I awakened the sleeping evil genius within him! And after years of work combining my spell version with his potions version we created a stronger version of the Forbidden Arts. And finally the fruits of our labor appeared!

Now Whizzer could see Rothbart standing behind the orb that had been destroyed in the previous story. Zelda was sitting nearby writing down the spell Rothbart chanted. And next to her was the jewelry box that was seen in the previous story! Tasha however wasn't there, probably because she was hiding out somewhere else, like the forest, while Rothbart was looking for a place to live.

"Ola bay dooanna baylay kandura elustry krootsease." Rothbart chanted as he put the stronger Forbidden Arts into the orb.

Zelda got up to watch the Forbidden Arts in action. The Forbidden Arts, in their power, spun above the orb like a tornado and then shrunk back into the orb, causing it to crackle with energy on the inside.

"Finally, the Forbidden Arts are mine again." Rothbart said happily.

Zelda went to put the notes in the box.

"And now we will rule as king and queen." Zelda said happily, holding the box.

"Actually, I had a different plan." Rothbart used his new magic to create an image of Uniqua. "I'm gonna force Uniqua to marry me. Of course, it cuts you out of the plan." He snatched the box.

The image of Uniqua disappeared. Zelda was appalled and furious.

"You wouldn't have the Forbidden Arts if it weren't for me!" Mayzie protested.

"True, and yet, sadly, you're outta here." Rothbart said without any compassion or regret.

"Those notes belong to me just as much as they belong to you. More!" Mayze snapped. "And they will be mine someday. THEY WILL BE MINE!"

"Get out!" Rothbart snapped back, raising a powered hand threateningly.

Mayzie left.

The screen disappeared.

"I have a feeling those notes still exist and you're going to help me get them." Mayzie said to Whizzer.

"Ma'am um excuse me but may I mention that I have absolutely no talent for this venture whatsoever." Whizzer said nervously.

"On the contrary." Mayzie went over to a book on birds and read: "'The Yellow Mockingbird can imitate any voice as well as sounds after hearing it only once.' Do mine."

"But, but I don't think that-"

"Do my voice!" Mayzie snapped.

"Do my voice!" Whizzer snapped in her voice.

"Do it again! Do it again!"

"Do it again! Do it again!"

"Go to Swan Castle and find out if those notes still exist my little spy." Mazie ordered, starting to untie Whizzer.

"Spy?" Whizzer repeated nervously. "No, see spies get captured. And tortured. I couldn't bear torture. I even start sobbing if I even get a canker sore!"

"Oh stop whining." Mayzie muttered as Whizzer continued protesting. "As soon as you find out if the notes still exist I promise to set you free."

Whizzer stopped and started to fly away.

"Seek out Whizzer and bring him to me!" Mayzie waved her wand.

A green fireball flew out of the wand, grabbed Whizzer, and flew him back to Mayzie.

"My little seekers are a far cry from the Forbidden Arts, but they can find you no matter where you go." Mayzie said sternly. "So don't ever try to run, and don't you ever try to betray me! Now go find out about those notes!"

Whizzer left for the castle, overhearing Mayzie evil cackle as he did.

Meanwhile, Tommy was doing sit-ups.

"Forty-seven, forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty!" Tommy got up. "Look, look!"

"You mean those little bumps?" Pablo said, looking over some bumps on Tommy's stomach with a magnifying glass.

"These little bumps are going to help me win the obstacle course." Tommy retorted.

"You're gonna enter the obstacle course?" Morton chuckled.

"That's right Mr. Inch." Tommy snapped his fingers at him. "And when I am crowned prince for a day, finally the people will see me as a prince forever!"

Pablo and Morton laughed.

"If you don't mind, it's time to work on my mental fitness." Tommy said cooly.

"Oh you can say that again." Pablo joked.

"The next one who disturbs me shall be punished by these babies!" Tommy threatened, showing off his arm muscles...or at least what little of it he had.

"Oh run away, run away." Pablo said in mock fear as he and Morton left.

Whizzer was there, and after Pablo and Morton left he approached Tommy who had his eyes closed.

"*Psst-psst*, Tommy, you know anything about Rothbart's notes on the Forbidden Arts being hidden in the castle?" Whizzer asked in Pablo's voice.

"Okay, that's it!"

Tommy, his eyes still closed, grabbed Whizzer by the neck, noogied him, whammed him back and forth, spun him around, and then tossed him aside like a javelin.

"Every day in every way I just get better and better." Tommy smiled to himself.

Now Horton and Rudy were working on the art gallery part of the festival. One of the paintings Rudy chose was based on a double-headed playing card so he was having trouble figuring out which was top and which was bottom.

"It doesn't bother me of course, but some people think that the obstacle course is too dangerous." Rudy said, trying to be brave but wanting to make sure the obstacle course was completely safe.

Horton smirked, knowing that it was Rudy who was worried about that. Rudy then left to get another painting. Whizzer hid behind an easel.

"Are Rothbart's notes on the Forbidden Arts really hidden in the castle?" Whizzer asked in Rudy's voice.

"Who told you that?" Horton turned around, startled.

At that point Rudy returned and Whizzer left.

"Oh everybody's talking about it." Rudy said, thinking Horton meant the obstacle course.

Horton quickly left, Rudy not sure why. Whizzer followed Horton through the sky.

"Austin!" Horton called out as he caught up with Austin and Uniqua in a section of the obstacle course. "Oh, Austin." He caught his breath. "Something horrible has happened."

Horton hesitated.

"You can tell me in front of Uniqua." Austin said.

"I-I'm not sure." Horton still hesitated.

"Horton we have no secrets." Austin pointed out.

"Well actually you, um, you do have that one secret." Horton said nervously.

There was a pause.

"Go on Horton." Uniqua said.

"Yeah go on." Austin chuckled.

"Well, there's a rumor going around about Rothbart's notes." Horton gave in. "That they're being hidden in the castle."

"Oh that's ridiculous." Uniqua chuckled. "If we knew those notes existed they'd be destroyed immediately."

"Actually Uniqua, um..." Austin hesitated.

Whizzer strained his ears.

"You found Rothbart's formula for the Forbidden Arts, and you didn't tell me?" Uniqua was surprised.

"I didn't want you to worry." Austin explained. "You see after Clavius and the orb were destroyed, after mom's party, Tasha told me and Rudy and Horton about the secret passageway. Horton and I went to investigate, not Rudy because he was too nervous, and found all sorts of things Rothbart left behind. Including his formula for the Forbidden Arts. We destroyed everything of course, except his notes."

"I'm free." Whizzer said to himself happily.

"Austin, how could you." Uniqua was shocked. "That's not like you."

"Apologize Austin." Horton said under his breath.

"I really think that someday we can use their power for good." Austin explained.

"Austin, nothing good can come from those notes." Uniqua frowned.

"But think about it. We can create food and water during a drought and change rocks into gold during financial troubles." Austin pointed out.

"Even so, you must destroy those notes."

"You're right Uniqua." Horton said under his breath, trying to put words in Austin's mouth. "I'll destroy them right away."

"Horton and I are the only ones who know where they are." Austin said.

"But there's a rumor." Uniqua reminded him.

"Look, even if someone did find them they could never harm anyone without my help." Austin smiled.

Uniqua still looked unhappy.

"Apologize, apologize, apologize." Horton said under his breath.

"I would never put you in any danger, you know that." Austin tried to comfort her.

"Promise me you'll destroy those notes Austin." Uniqua pleaded.

"I promise." Horton tried to put words in Austin's mouth again. "I was careless, foolish, and selfish."

"But I wasn't!" Austin protested. "I did this for us, for you and the kingdom. Please just trust me Uniqua."

Uniqua sadly left.

"Please Horton no long speeches." Austin sighed.

"I only need two words." Horton frowned. "Numb-skull!"

Horton left. Austin rolled his eyes.

"Whoo-hoo!" Whizzer quickly quieted himself. "I'm home free!" He whispered.

He flew off into the woods surrounding the castle

"*Whew*, now all I have to do is get out of here-" He tried to sneak away but backed into Pablo.

Whizzer turned around and weakly grinned at Pablo while slightly waving a wing.

"Hold it!" Pablo said sternly. "Spying is a crime in this kingdom, so I hereby claim you as a prisoner of war."

Pablo tried to grab Whizzer but missed. He unfortunately didn't miss the tree near Whizzer though.

"Uh, mommy will you hold me?" Pablo said, dazed.

He quickly recovered and flew after Whizzer. Whizzer flew through a hole in a tree, which Pablo got temporarily stuck in. Then he flew through a skunk's log without getting sprayed but Pablo wasn't so lucky.

"Go get a smog check why don't ya?" Pablo said to the skunk, holding his nose.

Whizzer flew across the moat and into the air, Pablo straight on his tail. Not even a few loops could shake him.

"I'm locked on ya small fry!" Pablo grinned. "You'd better give up or else!"

Whizzer then saw an opportunity on the ground and dove. Pablo dove after him. At the last second Whizzer shot back into the air, causing Pablo to hit a porcupine. Pablo lay against a rock upside down, dazed and full of quills. The porcupine tapped his fingers on the ground, really annoyed. Whizzer wiped his forehead with relief and flew back to Mayzie.

"Mayzie, Mayzie, the notes are there!" He called out once he was inside the cave.

Mayzie was in a lower section of the cave with a chest, table, and fireplace.

"I knew they were there!" Mayzie hit her palm with her fist triumphantly. "I knew it!"

"The notes are there." Whizzer muttered. "Meanwhile I got an ulcer the size of a watermelon."

"Now to get my hands on that chest." Mayzie said to herself.

"Well at least it's done and I can go back to my regular calm life." Whizzer muttered, starting to fly away. "Although I'm probably going to have nightmares the rest of my life from this little masquerade."

"Masquerade!" Mayzie, having overheard him, got an idea.

Mayzie went to the chest, opened it, and starting searching amongst the clothing and various items. She then took some items behind a nearby screen.

"So long Mayzie." Whizzer said dryly. "I'm leaving."

"I think I do a little play-acting." Mayzie put on a Swedish accent.

Mayzie was wearing a blue blouse with a green skirt, and had hidden most of her beautiful tail under the skirt so that it looked as if she had only one. She had her hair braided into two pigtails.

A.N. Mayzie is supposed to slightly resemble Gertrude McFuzz without entirely looking like her, since Gertrude won Horton's heart in the Seussical. No offense to Gertrude of course I just like doing references. Plus I didn't want to copy Zelda's outfit, she wore a red skirt which I think would blend in too much with Mayzie's coloring. I wanted her outfit to stand out more.

"Oh I vill play maiden in distress from de far away north." Mayzie said in her Swedish accent.

"Break a leg." Whizzer said dryly. "Oh, and the next time you need a talking bird I understand parrots are very dependable. As long as you don't mistreat them or show a lack of gratitude."

A.N. Like I said, love references...this time I referenced Iago. XD

"Not so fast, there's a part for you too in my little charade." Mayzie said, dropping her accent.

"You promised to set me free!" Whizzer protested, angry.

"How can I be a maiden in distress without anyone to distress me?" Mayzie retorted, putting a small black costume on Whizzer so that he resembled a bat.

"We made a deal!" Whizzer snapped.

"Now I'm making you another deal! That's two deals in one day, how many deals do you want?" Mayzie snapped sarcastically. "Foolish boy show some gratitude." She conjured a seeker threateningly.

"Me and my big mouth." Whizzer muttered.
