I don't own Sofia the First
Hey guys, since there will be mentions of other characters in here, I don't know if it should go to the crossover section since it's a Sofia the First story. If anyone feels it should, please let me know. Thank you.
Cedric's eyes bounced over to the woman that stood next to the queen. She was quite old in her looks but she seemed to have taken great care of herself. Her hair was of the color gray and she wore a long red gown with a broach settled on the front of her dress as well as a large green ring on her finger. She was just as confused as the queen to be here in this unknown place. "What is this place?" the old woman demanded.
Cedric's eyes moved over to Wormwood as the two stared at one another. "What is the matter with this amulet?" Cedric muttered as he gave the amulet another poke with his finger. "It is supposed to be giving me control of the kingdom. Not this!" he emphasized by flinging his arm towards the two women.
Wormwood rolled his eyes and flew over to the Book of Spells that was open to the exact page where Cedric performed the spell. He let out a loud caw to get Cedric's attention who finally turned around and looked at him. "What are you crowing about?" he approached his raven and looked at the page where Wormwood was pecking. He gasped. That was not the correct spell to gain control of the kingdom. It was the spell to release all evil that was trapped in the amulet! He looked over at the two women that had appeared and panicking, he tried to figure out a way to lock them into the amulet.
"No, no, no, no, no," he frantically flipped through the pages to find a counter spell. "This cannot be happening," he panicked when he could not find a spell to send them back into the amulet. Before he could react, the amulet began to shine as a couple of figures materialized before him. "No, no, no, no, no!" he yelled at the amulet as if it could comprehend him.
A woman that bore a green pigment upon her skin, a dark robe, and horns upon her head appeared. Cedric jumped back when he saw her as if he came in contact with the devil. "Who are you?" he blurted out the moment he saw her.
"I am mistress of all evil," she laughed maliciously.
"You're not kidding," Cedric said and backed over to a wall. "You are?"
"Maleficent," the woman answered him, "and what am I doing here?"
Before Cedric had the chance to answer her, a woman with dark brown hair, a white dress, and eyes that were of the color violet, which Cedric found it quite odd for a young woman to have. And she is a villainess how? he thought once he looked at her. Next to the woman, a very muscular man whose outfit consisted of a red tunic, black pants, yellow gloves, and boots. Behind him, he had a sack of bow and arrows.
"Gaston at your service," the man introduced himself, "the best hunter and a handsome one might I add."
"Pleasure," Cedric sarcastically greeted him before the amulet light again.
The next villain to take it's place into his tower was a man with a very slender figure with a long dark cape hanging from his shoulders. He bore a dark headdress with a pointed red feather, red-bell shaped sleeves, and a long black robe. On his right hand, he gripped onto a cobra shaped staff and a parrot that was perched on his shoulder.
Great Cedric thought another sorcerer. He noticed the look of confusion on the villain's face but when he saw his features changing, Cedric knew that he was going to have trouble real soon. His thought came too soon when a man with a gray pale face, a very dark and evil look upon his face, and dark hair appeared next to the villain with the red parrot. Cedric was scared out of his skin when he saw him. "And who are you two?" he asked the two villains that had appeared.
"I was once the sultan's royal vizier," the one with the red parrot answered him, "Jafar."
"And you?" Cedric turned his eyes to the one that had appeared.
"Shan Yu," he answered in a deep voice that sent chills down Cedric's spine as another villains appeared in front of them.
This one was tall and slender with dark skin, dark hair and mustache, and had a black top hat, that had a skull and cross bones, on his head. "Dr. Facilier and I got friend on the other side," he said as he played with the stack of cards that were in the palm of his hands.
Cedric mentally hit his head with his hand. Thus far, there were eight villains that had appeared. How many were there left? His question was answered when another villain materialized in front of them. She was a beautiful woman with a slender figure, black curly hair, pale skin, and gray eyes. "And you are?"
"Mother Gothel," she introduced herself before taking a good look at one of her hands. It looked young and there was not a hint of wrinkles on it. "And I am young again," she said ecstatically.
"Very nice," Cedric dismissively answered her, "please, please, please, please let this be the last one!" he spoke to the amulet but it did just the opposite making Cedric let out a defeated whine. Next to Mother Gothel, a muscular man with long dark hair and mustache and wore a fur skin around his body appeared. "No weapons allowed," Cedric told him when he noticed that he held onto two axes.
At Cedric's demand, he held the two axes above his head, scaring Cedric. "This better be the last one!" he yelled at the amulet but according to the jewel, it had a mind of its own. At the moment, Cedric wished he had checked the spell that he was making before these villains had appeared. Next to the man with the axes, another one appeared. This one had auburn hair, feckless upon his face, and green eyes and wore a gray winter coat which Cedric found particularly odd. Judging by the way he was standing, Cedric assumed he was from a royal family. "Let me guess," he said to him, "are you some sort of prince?"
"Prince Hans of the Southern Isles," he gave Cedric a small bow. "What am I doing here?" he said and looked around the room, "is this some sort of..." he moved his wrist in the air to find a better word, "sorcerer's tower?"
"This is my lair," Cedric emphasized the word, "and might I add, I am going to send you all back where you came from."
"What is the point of brining us here in the first place?" the old woman with the gray hair asked.
"You are?" Cedric asked, forgetting that he had not asked her.
"Lady Tremaine," she answered.
"It was all a mistake," Cedric told them, "so in you go," he held the amulet in front of them but none of them returned back. However, the amulet shined another bright green color. "I thought that was the last one," Cedric snapped at the jewel.
The villains gave one another a confused look before looking back at Cedric. "Is he alright upstairs?" Dr. Facilier asked the other as he pointed to the side of his head with his index finger.
"I've seen worse," Gaston answered him.
"You do that once again and I will fly you over to Everburn," he told the amulet. He looked up when he heard on of the villains let out a 'whoa.' "What?" he asked and noticed that it was Hans who had said that. Cedric turned around and saw that it was a young woman with fair skin, black and white hair, rosy lips, blue eyes, and a black princess gown. He noticed her eyes falling upon him and her lips titling into a smile.
"And you are?" he asked her.
"I am sure you have heard of me before," the woman spoke, "before I erased your memory."
"If you erased my memory, which I don't remember, how am I supposed to remember you?" Cedric asked her but he noticed that her attention was not directed towards him, but to the amulet that was dangling in his grip.
The woman lightly chuckled as a black butterfly appeared at the palm of her hand. She gave the butterfly a lift as it fluttered towards Cedric. "Get away," Cedric flung his hand in the air to stop the butterfly from coming near him. The butterfly managed to dodge his hand and take the amulet from his hand.
"Come to Ivy," the princess said as the amulet was dropped into her hand. "At last," she held onto the amulet, "I am free from that dreadful prison and here once again."
"Bring that back," Cedric approached her with his hand in front of him.
"I don't think so," Princess Ivy flung the amulet to the side, "with this amulet in my possession, no one can send me back to that awful prison where I was in for ten terrible years."
"This is not what I wanted," Cedric said, "I wanted to take over the kingdom."
"Too bad," Princess Ivy taunted him, "because I have the amulet and with this amulet, it will give me the power to take over."
"You?" Lady Tremaine sneered at the young princess, "not before I have it," she approached the young princess, "so hand it over."
"I don't think so," Princess Ivy held the amulet away from her.
"Iago," Jafar said to his parrot who flapped his wings over to the amulet. His talons clung onto the necklace and pulled it away from Ivy's grip. Iago flew back to Jafar and dropped the amulet in his hand. "The one who shall have this amulet is me," he said to the villains in the room, "I cannot bear to go back to that dreadful, cramped lamp."
"Who doesn't?" Mother Gothel said, "but some of us wish life rather than facing death once more. Hence, that amulet belongs to me."
"Don't toy with me," Jafar said as he held his cobra shaped staff in front of her.
Mother Gothel raised an eyebrow and pushed his staff away from her presence. "Your little staff does not frighten me," she said to him.
Ivy tapped her chin with her finger, contemplating an idea. When one came to her mind, her lips titled into a smile. "I have a plan," she spoke to them and all the villains turned their attention on her. She opened the palms of both her hands and two gargantuan dragonflies appeared. She gave them a lift and they flew over to the villains, releasing a white glitter upon them. Jafar lost his grip on the amulet as it fell onto the floor. She walked over to Jafar that was knelt to the group and picked up the necklace. "That ought to keep all of your busy for a while," she said to them.
"No!" Cedric shouted and she turned to look at him.
"Oh looks like one of my dragonflies missed you," she said as she summoned another dragonfly to fly towards him. Before Cedric reacted, Wormwood flew in front of his master and let the dragonfly temporarily erase his own memory. Once he was hit with the dragonfly, Wormwood collapsed to the ground. "Wormy?" Cedric knelt over to his pet.
Just then, Ivy had picked up Jafar's staff. "Ooh, this is heavy," she said and held the staff in front of Cedric. "I am going to make sure that you do not interfere."
"Only the staff replies to its master," Jafar, whose memory came back, said as he got up from the ground and took he staff out of her hands and held it in front of Cedric. "How about I put you in a nice little hourglass, just like I did with that little shrew." A bright light escaped from the mouth of the snake's mouth and hit Cedric. A big hourglass landed in front of the villains with Cedric trapped inside.
"You let me out of here at once!" Cedric hit his hand against the glass. He felt a rush of sand falling upon his head and he moved away from the middle of where the sand was falling as possible.
"Sorry no can do, my hour of taking over this kingdom has just begun," Jafar said.
"Your hour?" Gaston said to the sorcerer, "no one would want a king looking like...that. They would want a young, sinfully handsome looking one," he said and ran a hand over his dark hair.
"That is pathetic," the Queen who had managed to transform herself into her young self again said to Gaston, "you are not the fairest in the land, for I am."
Wormwood shook his head as he lifted himself from the ground. He noticed that his master was trapped within the hourglass and looked at the villains. Ivy was still hanging onto the necklace and as quid as a bullet, Wormwood's beak clamped onto the necklace. "Hey!" Ivy gasped and scowled at the raven.
"Wormy!" Cedric yelled at his raven, "give the amulet back to Princess Sofia. Only that can undo the spell."
Even though Wormwood hated it, he was going to do what his master told him. "Iago get him!" Jafar yelled at his parrot. The Queen and Maleficent allowed their pet birds to surround Wormwood as well.
"Bring that back you little chimney sweep!" Iago yelled as he flapped his wings towards Wormwood.
"You too my little darlings," Ivy summoned a swarm of butterflies to fly towards Wormwood.
Wormwood halted in midair and allowed Iago, the Queen's crow, and Diablo (Maleficent's bird) along with Ivy's butterflies to fly towards him. "Got'cha!" Iago crowed as he blocked one of Wormwood's escape routes, while the crow and Diablo blocked his right and front. As the butterflies closed in upon them, Wormwood flew a bit higher in midair and the butterflies took the opportunity it erasing the memories of Iago, Diablo, and the crow. Now that he had the chance, Wormwood flew out of the tower in search for Princess Sofia.
"Ugh," Princess Ivy clenched her teeth, "forget about the amulet. The throne will be mine!" she yelled and ran out of the tower.
"Not until we find it first," Jafar followed after her. Once the villains were out of the room, Hans placed his hand on the doorknob and looked at Cedric with a smirk on his face.
"She is quite the charmer," he said before he shut the door.
