Dylan's eyes burst open and he gasped for breath.

He could still feel the darkness Mr. Dark was filling him with torture him.

Soon enough though it was all gone.

He panted and put his hand on his chest.

"Dylan!" said a voice. "Oh my god you're okay!"

Dylan opened his eyes and saw his father and mother standing above him.

"Mom. Dad," he said. "Hi."

"Why you!" Finn said in a furious voice. "You little moron!"

He reached down at Dylan who was now terrified, but then Finn hugged his son tightly.

"Don't you ever go into the parks alone!" he said now with tears in his eyes. "No one ever goes into the parks alone!"

"I'm…I'm sorry dad," Dylan said, now tears forming in his eyes. "But I had no choice! You guys wouldn't believe me!"

"We didn't want to," said Amanda. "None of us did. But now we saw it for ourselves."

"The Overtakers are back," said Finn. "They're really back."

"Yeah," said Dylan. "Hard to believe but…"

He then froze.

"Wait what?" he asked. "How did you see…"

He then noticed he wasn't even in his own room.

He was Escher's Keep, in one of the beds.

He saw that the other Young Keepers and Kingdom Keepers were there too, along with Mickey and the others.

"I told your folks you went into the park," said Mickey. "I had to."

Dylan sighed but nodded.

"You did what you had to," he said. "But how did you know that the Overtakers were back."

Mickey pointed to a TV monitor.

"I used this to show what you saw through your eyes," he said. "And I cannot believe what I saw."

"I can't believe it," said Minnie. "Mr. Dark is back!"

"I thought he was gone for good!" yelled Donald.

"Apparently not!" said Goofy.

"Whoa! Whoa! Wait!" yelled Dylan. "Who is this Mr. Dark? I know the movie he is from, but this guy is nothing like his counterpart. So who is he?"

Mickey sighed, and then noticed the Young Keepers were now getting up.

"I guess I should start from the very beginning," he said.

Everyone stared at Mickey and listened.

"Mr. Dark is not like the one Something Wicked this Way Comes," he said. "Here we know him as, The First."

"The First?" asked Dylan.

"The First Overtaker," said Minnie. "As well as the creator of all the others."

"What?" asked Finn. "Mr. Dark created all the Overtakers!?"

"Him and his brother, Dr. Facilier, were actually not always Disney villains," said Mickey. "They were real life people. Real life sorcerers."

"Oh my god," said Francesca.

"Mr. Dark hails from the place Dr. Facilier was created from," said Mickey. "The Other Side."

"The Other Side?" asked Maybeck. "As in THE Other Side?"

"Here in Disney there is no Heaven or Hell," said Mickey. "Only the Other Side. And Mr. Dark comes from it."

"Whoa," said Jason.

"Mr. Dark has walked this earth for centuries," said Goofy. "And somewhere along the way he asked the Other Side to create him a companion. A brother."

"Dr. Facilier," said Logan.

"The Illustrated Man and the Shadow Man!" yelled Donald. "What a couple!"

"So how did they become apart of Disney?" asked Dylan.

"Dark and Facilier sought out one thing," said Mickey. "Ultimate Power. They wanted Ultimate Power itself."

"That's a thing?" asked Melody.

"Yes," said Minnie. "With Ultimate Power those two could break the laws of magic, gain any wish they desire, or do anything they practically want."

"And what better place for that kind of power to exist than the place magic truly exists," said Daisy.

"Disney," said Dylan.

"Correct," said Mickey. "They came to Disney looking for that power, knowing it did exist here."

"However!" yelled Donald grinning. "Our master was too strong for them to gain the magic!"

"Master?" asked Willa. "You mean Walt Disney?"

"Yes," said Mickey. "Walt's magic was too strong. So they were unable to break through our barriers to gain Ultimate Power."

"But then!" yelled Donald. "That's when they created the Overtakers! Right Mickey!?"

"Calm down Donald!" said Mickey.

He then turned to everyone.

"Yes," said Mickey. "Mr. Dark decided that if he and Facilier couldn't break it, then they would need an army."

"So they created the Overtakers," said Francesca.

The characters nodded.

"But how?" asked Dylan. "How could they possibly do that?"

"Do you children remember the carousel in Disneyland?" asked Mickey.

Everyone nodded.

"That is how they created them," said Mickey.

"How could a simple carousel create an army of villains?" asked Philby.

"Well it did create the characters," said Goofy. "Including us!"

"What?" asked everyone.

"You see children, that carousel serves as a portal maker," said Mickey. "Whenever Walt Disney went on it, he opened up portals to his many stories and always came out, bringing characters with him."

"So that's how ever character became real!" said Finn.

"And that is how the Overtakers became real," said Mickey. "Mr. Dark and Dr. Facilier planned to use it to create and army of villains to command."

"However it did not work out as planned," said Minnie.

"What do you mean?" asked Jess.

"The very first villain they brought out was Chernabog," said Mickey.

"However, Chernabog knew Mr. Dark was far more powerful than him," said Daisy.

"So Chernabog threw Mr. Dark into time!" yelled Donald.

"So that explains why Chernabog was the leader," said Charlene.

"But what do you mean by time?" asked Logan.

"The carousel also serves as a time machine in a way," said Mickey. "It opens a portal to any day in the past, present, and future."

"So Chernabog threw Dark into time?" asked Dylan.

"He threw him back to the day Disneyland first opened," said Mickey. "And because Chernabog closed the portal, Mr. Dark kept reliving the same day for 60 years."

"Whoa," said Jason. "No wonder he's pissed."

"He seemed pretty calm when he was killing me," said Dylan.

"Anyway," said Amanda interrupting not wanting to hear about death. "What happened with Facilier?"

"Chernabog commanded him to use the portal and bring back more villains," said Mickey. "And after he had an army, he threw Facilier in time as well, to the future."

"That is where he somehow became a story," said Minnie. "He became a part of The Princess and the Frog.

"However," said Mickey. "When Facilier became real, it was that Facilier, not the counterpart with the movie."

"The same with Mr. Dark," said Goofy. "Walt met Mr. Dark when he was thrown back in time, and then he listened to his story, and in the future became a movie."

"However it was always the real Dark that was real, not the movie one," said Daisy.

"And now both brothers are reunited," said Dylan. "As well surviving Neo-Overtakers."

"So what now?" asked Tim. "What are they going to do now."

"Well they already have found some Ultimate Power they need," said Mickey.

"WHAT!?" everyone yelled.

"They already found it!?" yelled Maybeck.

"We're doomed!" yelled Finn.

"NO! NO!" yelled Donald.

Everyone was silent.

"They found one piece of Ultimate Power!" yelled Donald.

"One piece?" asked Francesca.

"I fear by the park being destroyed twice," said Mickey. "That the protection made for it was broken."

Dylan then had a thought.

"Was this Ultimate Power an amulet that was shaped like Walt Disney?" he asked.

Mickey gasped.

"No!" he gasped. "The power…was Walt Disney!"

"What?" asked everyone.

"Walt Disney was a source of Ultimate Power," said Mickey. "Facilier must've absorbed him into an amulet to give his brother the start of power."

"Wait!" yelled Dylan. "Walt was power himself!? Then that means…"

"WALT DISNEY IS ALIVE!?" yelled everyone.

"Not exactly," said Mickey. "Remember the rumor of Walt Disney being kept frozen?"

Everyone nodded.

"Well in a way its true," said Mickey. "He kept himself magically frozen underneath the castle as he was close to his death date."

"Why?" asked Jason.

"Because the Overtakers could easily dig up his body that contained the Ultimate Power," said Minnie. "The magic couldn't leave him, he was magic."

"But because the barrier was broken, they took the magic," said Mickey.

"If they collect all five pieces of power!" yelled Donald. "They can gain true Ultimate Power!"

"Five?" asked Melody.

"There are pieces hidden in all the parks around the world," said Mickey. "Except for this one."

"So you mean like Disneyland Paris?" asked Finn.

"And Hong Kong Disneyland?" asked Amanda.

"Yes," said Mickey. "And no doubt they are heading to collect them soon."

"What do you mean by soon?" asked Philby.

"As in, your children must start packing and be ready by morning," said Goofy.

"What?" asked Willa. "Packing?"

"The Young Keepers must travel to all the parks around the world and collect the pieces of power before the villains do," said Mickey.

"WHAT!?" everyone yelled.

"There is no way my precious daughter is traveling alone across the world!" yelled Jess.

"And neither are our children!" said Philby and Willa.

"What about us?" asked Finn. "We'll do it!"

"No," said Mickey sternly. "Your time is up as the heroes. Your destinies are complete."

"Now it is the children's turn," said Daisy.

"This is practically out of the question!" yelled Donald. "Either they go or we become slaves to Mr. Dark once he gets his power!"

"Well I can't argue with that," said Maybeck.

"This is too crazy," said Finn. "And too sudden."

And as Finn was speaking of sudden, suddenly a portal appeared in front of the room.

Out of it stepped Mal and Carlos, horribly beaten and weak.

"My god," gasped Dylan.

Everyone ran up to support them.

"Guys," croaked Mal. "We failed."

"He was too…strong," gasped Jay.

"Mr. Dark?" asked Logan.

They nodded.

"He has Walt Disney's magic," sighed Mickey. "He is now stronger than anyone."

"But…where's Evie and Carlos?" asked Melody.

Mal shook her head.

"They were captured by Mr. Dark," said Mal. "He used a talisman similar to Facilier's on them."

"One minute they were there," said Jay. "The next they were sucked into them."

"And when Dark released them out of them," said Mal. "They were different."

"They looked like demonic humans with black skin and clothing, and red eyes and horrible things!" cried out Jay.

"We teleported back here after seeing them almost attack us," said Mal.

"Our best friends are gone," sighed Jay.

"Mr. Dark turned them into slaves," said Mickey.

"What?" asked Dylan.

"Those talismans are a favorite to Dark's," said Mickey. "Just like Facilier's is the one his soul is bound to."

"They capture people inside them," said Minnie. "And while they body is brought back, now turned evil, their soul is sent into captivity on the Other Side."

"And I fear he will do the same to most of us," said Goofy.

"Then that settles it," said Dylan standing up. "We must stop them. We must travel to the other parks."

The Young Keeper cheered out.

"We better call Amelia," said Dylan.

"No child!" said Mickey. "Her destiny is complete. Now you must complete yours."

Dylan froze and turned to Mickey.

"I…have a destiny?" he asked. "Does this mean I get magic too!?"

Mickey laughed.

"You will find out that you have a greater destiny than the Child of Light Magic did," said Mickey.

"Please!" begged Dylan. "You have to tell me!"

"There is no time!" said Donald. "Tick-tock! Tick-tock! Start packing!"

"The duck is right," said Minnie. "You must get ready."

"But how can we travel to save the world when we must pack tons of clothing?" asked Jason.

"Take these," said Mickey.

He snapped and then backpacks appeared in everyone's hands.

"They are enchanted to carry an unlimited amount of objects or anything," said Mickey. "Use them."

"Okay!" said everyone.

"Go now!" said Mickey. "The plane for Disneyland Paris departs at 10:00 AM tomorrow."

"We better get moving!" yelled Finn.

Everyone nodded, said goodnight and hurried out to the parking lot.

In the car, Dylan was trying to take a small nap while Finn and Amanda talked.

"This is insane," said Finn. "Our son has to leave literally tomorrow?"

"The fate of the world is kind of a stake here," said Amanda.

Finn groaned loudly.

"Damn you Facilier!" he yelled. "And damn you Amelia!"

"What?" asked Amanda. "What does this have to do with Amelia?"

"She should've killed Facilier back in the Underworld!" yelled Finn.

"Hey!" growled Amanda. "None of us knew this would happen! And if she killed Facilier, her heart would've turned dark!"

"Don't bring fantasy into this now!" said Finn. "What matters is that our son has to leave in the morning for France! And he doesn't know how to speak French!"

Dylan tried to ignore his parents, and instead thought about what happened tonight.

He knew Mr. Dark would rule everything if he gained Ultimate Power.

And he knew he had some kind of destiny.

He would figure that out later, but for now he had a mission.

He had to lead the Young Keepers to save the world.

It was finally his time to be the leader.

Like my little history lesson I made for the brothers? All made up, and I still tied in the carousel thing with the actual thing from the book. So Mr. Dark is a big deal, and Walt Disney turned out to be alive, and Dylan has a destiny! What's next? Stay tuned to find out!
