A/N
Here's more and thanks to Inyunaruto365 for her review as I like writing Rumpel as a good guy but they're trying to stop Baba and the witches from taking over Far, Far Away.
I'm glad people are enjoying this.
Later that night, Shrek and the others were staying at Rumpel's lair but Brogan wasn't trusting Rumpel even though he'd changed a little but he and the other members of the resistance were training at night along with Leah as she was doing karate and sparring against Brogan as she was wearing armour and battle gear but Rumpel sighed as he knew that Brogan and the others didn't trust him except for the blond haired girl that trusted him along with her sister but noticed that she was shy compared to his friend.
He was thinking about how they could stop Baba and the witches as he saw Shrek approach but he was nervous remembering that they were enemies but for some reason there was no anger or hate in his hazel eyes which stunned Rumpel.
"Don't worry Rumpel I won't hurt you.
Besides your going good is a good thing." he told him.
"Yeah but your friends still don't trust me." he replied.
"They will but you need to show them.
Earn their trust." he told him.
Rumpel liked the idea as he wanted to train but decided to use magic against Baba and the witches which Shrek thought was a good idea but saw him growl in hunger.
"Go get something to eat." Shrek told him.
He agreed as he left the room.
He knew he needed to get the others to trust him but saw Leah drinking Coke.
She was wondering what was on his mind as he sighed.
"I want to help stop Baba as it was my fault.
Brogan and the others don't trust me but I need to gain their trust.
I don't know how." he answered.
"You may not have earned Brogan's trust but you earned my trust.
Carley's too after how you took good care of Molly.
Deep down you're a good person.
You can use this to help us." she said.
"You're right.
But I need to find a way to defeat Baba.
She probably took over by now." he said.
Leah nodded smiling as she agreed.
She then saw him leave to check on Molly as he found her sleeping with Amigo nuzzling her.
He smiled as he was finding courage to destroy Baba.
Baba cackled as she had been watching Rumpel's lair and saw that Brogan and the others had been training and figuring out how to defeat her and her fellow witches but one of them had left to help Rumpel and the others as she didn't want to take over Far, Far Away but hoped Rumpel's friends would trust her but she knew that Rumpel was having trouble getting Shrek's friends to trust him but knew it would work as he'd turned good and wanted to stop Baba as she landed and entered Rumpel's castle through a window and saw Rumpel stop her but stunned seeing a witch had dared to enter.
"Are you helping Baba?" he demanded.
"No I'm not Rumple.
I never wanted to help her.
I'm Elphaba." she told him.
Rumpel smiled knowing he could trust her as he knew that Shrek's friends wouldn't trust her knowing she was a witch and thought she was helping Baba but he would explain to them.
She smiled knowing he was a good person deep down.
He blushed as he kind of liked her.
He then let her sleep in a guest room.
He then decided to get some sleep himself...
Rumpel awoke as he was having bad dreams but shook them away and hoped that Baba hadn't taken over Far, Far Away yet but then saw Merlin show up as he was helping them along with Morgana as they could use their powerful magic on Baba and the witches but he smiled evilly as he went to have breakfast and hoped things would be okay as he saw Cookie making breakfast in the kitchen.
He also now trusted Rumpel after seeing him change for good.
"Who's that?" he asked him.
"This is Elphaba.
She may be a witch but we can trust her like you trusted me." Rumpel told him.
He understood as he had made eggs for them.
Leah smiled hearing Rumpel explain about Elphaba.
She knew that she could trust her.
"She will be a powerful ally fighting Baba." she said.
"I think Rumpel likes her." Cookie said.
Carley agreed with her.
They knew they could do this.
She then went to train with Merlin...
He smiled as they were training.
She was learning how to do powerful spells they could use on Baba.
But Rumpel was nervous as he had an idea.
He would wait until after she finished training.
Carley was in awe hearing Rumpel explain what he wanted to do as she understood knowing he wanted to help stop Baba and her witches as a smile crossed her face knowing Merlin would be happy her teaching somebody what he had taught her.
"Sure Rumpel I'll help you learn more spells.
We could learn together." she said smiling.
Rumpel smiled.
"I'd like that a lot." he answered.
