Hi guys, this is now a crossover. Really hope you like it. I also hope a lot of you watch Once Upon a Time in Wonderland and Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D. Also, after what happened on last nights episode, should I scrap this? I might come up with a new OUAT and AOS crossover before spring. Please help!
Ch 6
Wonderland
Henry and Jade scream as the hit a brightly colored path beneath their feet. Peter Pan and Felix have a bit more ease in landing, and the storybook hit's the ground and the glow fades. "Where are we?" Henry asked as he and Jade glared at Peter Pan. "Not sure." Peter said. The two youngest of the group stand up and brush off their clothes. Henry scrambled for the book and finds a piece of paper on top. "What does it say?" Jade questioned, looking around warily. "You're not gonna like what it says."
"Does it explain what's going on?" Felix asked and Henry nodded. "Then tell us." Peter said, crossing his arm. "It says that the truest believer, a Daughter of the Moon, the Boy who never grows old, and the boy with the scars are supposed to save… all… of… magic." Henry paused after each word at the end to let it all sink in. "So, I guess I wasn't lying." Peter Pan said, nervousness edging on his voice. "No, no, no way, why me? There are plenty of Daughters of the Moon." Jade said slowly, as if confused, which she was. "Wow." Was all Felix had to say. Jade shrugs off her coat, glad she chose a short-sleeve shirt this morning, and tied the jacket around her waist. The four sat on the side of the road, in silence. "So," Peter Pan finally said, "Does this prophecy tell how were supposed to save magic?" Henry looked at the paper, that already looked old. "Um, it says we'll know when the time comes." Jade sighs and shakes her head. "Where'd you get that dagger?" Felix asked, "I just realized that you had just gotten it." She just ignored him, mostly because the Red Queen's carriage had just stopped in front of them. They all stood, nearly at once, as the slender form of the blonde haired Queen got out of the carriage. "Your Majesty, it's an honor." Jade said, nerves filling her voice. "Why thank you darling." The Queen said pleasantly. A man with a white pouf and a red lighting bolt over his eye turned to his Queen and the children. "Your Majesty, must you really talk to these-these peasant children." The Red Queen shot him an evil glare that said what needed to be said. She turned back to them with a smile plastered back on her face. "What are your names?"
"I'm Jade."
"And I'm Henry, uh, your Majesty."
"Felix."
"Peter…" He seemed like he was going to say something else, but he just left his name hanging in the air. "I've never seen any of you before." The Red Queen said, after a long and slightly awkward pause. "Yes, we are not from Wonderland. We are from a far, far, far away land, yet the stories of the infamous Red Queen still travel there, may I say you are more… amazing in person. I'm at a lost for words, really." Jade stumbled on her speech, which awed her companions that she could lie so easily, well, she wasn't totally lying. But, it pleased the Queen no less, and she invited them to meet a guest of hers. This surprised the group, but they accepted. If this prophecy was correct, this had to be part of the journey.
The group stood in the Red Queen's throne room, trying to form a plan. "Who do you think this guest we're meeting is?" Felix asked, with usual calmness. Everyone looked at Henry, who flipped through his book quickly. "Nothing." Jade circled part of the room until something caught her eye. It was a fancy bottle, based on prior magical knowledge, it was probably a genie bottle. "Is that a genie's bottle?" Peter Pan said behind her, his voice nearly in her ear. "I think so, she has a genie?"
"Sadly no, darling, someone else does." The teens turned attention to the Red Queen. "Then why do you have it?" Henry asked. The Red Queen smiled sweetly, but it felt fake. "I'm waiting, for the person to make her last wish. And then her genie will be mine." Henry thought about that for a minute. "But, all magic comes with a price." Henry answered. "All magic." Jade emphasized. "I know wishes have strings attached, but not an exact price." The Red Queen said, her face falling slightly. "Take it from two kids, yes kids, who've seen magic at work and are magic, to an extent. All magic comes with a price, and it's never going to go unpaid." Jade says. "Make that three kids." Pan said. "Hmmm." The Red Queen hummed before turning away. The kids shared a look, urging someone to say something. "Excuse me, your Majesty?" Jade said, as kindly as she could. "Mmm, yes?" The Red Queen questioned. "Who is this guest you want us to meet?" The Red Queen laughed and Jade jumped, the laugh was sweet and innocent as a child's, at that moment the Red Queen seemed barley older than Jade. "I hope you like surprises, that's all I'll say." The Red Queen then left, leaving them alone once more. "Not sure if I'll like surprises after this." Henry mumbled to himself. "Henry, can I see your book?" Pan asked, Henry looked warily at him. "And why should I do that?" Peter Pan looked at him sternly. Before he could say anything, Jade stepped in, "Look, Peter, it's his book. It's the only thing that connects him home." This shocked the older boys, but not Henry. "Alright," Peter Pan said, "The book is magic, first of all, and maybe we can use it's magic to help us." Henry handed the book over reluctantly. The book gives off a slight shimmer again, it's mostly contained in the gold lettering. "How did you…?" Jade started, but left the sentence hanging. "Neither of you knew it was magic?" Pan asked, almost amused. No one talked, neither of them could sense magic. Before Peter Pan could find what he was looking for, the balcony doors blew opened and the kids turned around, shocked. Henry took his book back and a man with tan skin and a black robe with silver accents. He carried a gold cobra staff that had glowing ruby eyes. "Hello there." He said, surprise bordering his voice. The Red Queen swept in, right on time to everyone else in the room. "Hello darling." She said happily. "Hello, I see you have some… guests." The man said. "Ah yes," The Red Queen said, humor in her voice. "This is Peter, Henry, Jade, and Felix." She pointed to each of them as she said their names. "Oh," The man said, "I don't suppose the Red Queen, told you about me?" He gave a side glance to the Red Queen who acted as if she didn't notice. Felix nudged Jade's arm. "Uh, no, she didn't. But it's very nice to meet you Sir." The man simply nods. "My name is Jafar." The man, Jafar, said. "May I talk with you, in private?" Jafar asked the Red Queen. "Why of course darling." They walked off, just out of earshot of the group. "What are they doing here?" Jafar asked harshly, the Red Queen just laughed. "I feel they could be an asset, besides I can just tell the magic in them, or some of them. The other is just an extra, we can't do anything to him or they will be against us. Also, we can't let them find our enemies, Alice in particularly." Jafar looked back at them, the kids. "Their children, what use could they be?"
"Magic, if we have them on our side, we have power." Jafar sighed. "How, they are just children."
"Back where I'm from, there was a legend telling of a young boy who was the truest believer. It was from a seeress, and she told that one day the truest believer, a daughter of the moon, the boy who never grows old, and the boy with scars will, together, be able to do incredible fetes using magic." Jafar looked at the woman with newfound respect. "That is good, but how do you know it's them?" The Red Queen shrugged, "Just a hunch."
Haha, Alice, Knave, and Cyrus come up in later chapters, in chapter 8 or 9. Which will be up on Wensday or Thursday. Bye bye for now. Oh, I also respect if all of you think of me as a troll fro doing this.
