A/N: Yes, I know that this is another short chapter, but I didn't want to cram too much unnecessary information in this one. Also, yes, I know that I have still yet to update another chapter to Voldemort's Victory. I haven't forgotten or abandoned it, but I've been busy over the last few days since it was both my college graduation and my sister's birthday. I will update that one soon. (Might be a Christmas present for all of my faithful readers.) In the meantime, enjoy Chapter 5!
Disclaimer: I still don't own the Kingdom Keepers or Power Rangers. If I ever acquire the rights, you will be the first to know!
Chapter 5: New Boss in Town
The six colored streaks of light blasted through the night sky, sped past the golden orb of the full moon, and disappeared into the distance, twinkling like a star.
They had no idea that someone was watching them.
On the far side of the park, their enemies witnessed their flight.
Maleficent glared angrily at the spot where the Keepers had vanished. She stormed down the wooden steps of the watch tower of Fort Langhorn. Since Tom Sawyer's Island was currently closed for the season, Jafar had determined it to be the perfect location for his evil lair.
"How could he let them slip through his hands? He's no better than the rest of the hired help around here!"
Chernabog looked up from the telescope he was spying through.
"It looks like they are heading for Disneyland!"
At that moment, Hades stepped regally into the lair looking around as if he owned the place.
"Hi, honey! I'm home!"
"You egg-sucking blue pinhead!" Maleficent bellowed, "The Keepers are going after the Great Power!"
She turned to her husband.
"I thought you said this guy was the Master of Disaster! He's nothing but a slime-infested jelly donut!"
Hades threw a ball of slime at Maleficent's mouth. Any further outbursts from her were left unsaid.
"Finally, someone shut her up!" growled Jafar.
"Your feebleness is staggering," sneered Hades, "You obviously need a vacation! I think circumstances force us to choose a new leader. And I pick…ME!"
"Who does this clown think he is?" Jafar demanded furiously.
"The Boogeyman is taking over!" Hades continued. He sat on Jafar's makeshift throne in the center of the fort's courtyard.
"Nobody double-crosses Jafar and lives!"
Jafar zapped Hades with his snake staff. The jet of red energy hit the god squarely in the chest.
"Oh, stop it!" laughed the monster, "It tickles!"
Jafar immediately stopped the attack.
"My turn!" chuckled Hades evilly.
Without another word, he zapped a bolt of blue lightning at Jafar and Maleficent. Seconds later, a small "Greetings from Walt Disney World" snow globe appeared where the two villains had been standing a few moments before.
The villains in question? They were now inside the snow globe!
"Way to go bonehead!" Maleficent yelled.
"It's getting so you can't trust anyone in this theme park!" Jafar added.
Hades reached for the snow globe and shoved it in the faces of Chernabog and Gaston.
"Now," he began in a threatening tone, "you have a choice. You either serve me, or you can join these insufferable dingle-dorks!"
The two henchmen glanced anxiously at each other before looking into the angry eyes of their former leaders.
"Chernabog, get us out of here!" ordered Jafar.
"Don't listen to that blue booger!" Maleficent squeaked.
"Don't you dare betray me!"
"Uh, we never liked those dingle-dorks anyway!" said Chernabog to Hades.
"You said it," added Gaston, "they stink!"
Satisfied with their answer, Hades smiled.
"Now what are we going to do about the Kingdom Keepers, my lord?" Chernabog wanted to know.
"Ah, yes…the Kingdom Keepers!" Hades said softly.
He took a deep breath and spit out a large amount of blue goo. It gathered in a puddle halfway across the courtyard.
"Wow! Nice distance!" commented Gaston, (who knew a thing or two about spitting contests.)
"Yeah!" agreed Chernabog.
The trio watched as the blue substance slowly stretched and grew taller. Then, it started to break apart into ten smaller pieces. In a matter of seconds, a troop of ten Green Army Men finished forming. The mindless drones stood at attention and saluted their new boss.
"Now, my soldiers," Hades commanded, "you will march to Disneyland…you will find the Kingdom Keepers…AND YOU WILL TEAR THEM APART!"
The army saluted once more, then Hades made them disappear in a puff of blue smoke and a clash of lightning.
Hades grinned an evil grin.
"We have work to do!"
A/N: Well, that takes care of Chapter 5! If you've ever seen MMPR: The Movie, we're about halfway through the story and are approaching the climax! Next chapter will have the Keepers arriving at Disneyland to begin their search for the mysterious Great Power! See you real soon, my dears!
Love, Mickeygirl20 :)
