Chapter 41: The Past Pain
At Dark Beauty Castle, the Disney Princess is cuddling and playing with the Bunny Children as they walk through the hallway. They came across the Throne Room to see the Toonateers and Moana coming out of the Projector.
"Mommy! Daddy!" said the Bunny Children, going to their parents.
They end up dog piling while Mickey dodges it easily.
"How cute," Mickey commented.
"Moana! You're back," said Snow White, hugging her.
"That leaves Raya to be rescued last," said Cinderella.
"I want to go home," said Moana, holding her stomach.
"Moana, you got to know about this place," said Aurora.
"Yeah. This place has everything," said Ariel.
"Look, ladies. I was trapped in a fake world of my home with a mirror to see what was happening outside. I need to rest," said Moana.
"Is that so? How can that be?" Gus said.
"I don't have to talk. I need to lay down."
"We can take you to the Princess Suite in the Castle," said Belle.
"These people in this world know how to treat guests well," Jasmine commented as the Disney Princesses walked away.
"I wonder if anybody else knows about this place," said Pocahontas.
"Well, if we are going to tell everyone else at home, they might not believe us," said Mulan.
"I would like to live here. The Toon World has been crowded lately with all of the Toon Worlds Orbs piling up from every animated movie, and tv show made," said Tiana.
"Where else could the Disney Animators put them?" Rapunzel added.
"Girls, please. I need quiet," said Moana, griping her head.
"Alright. Come along, Bunny Children," said Merida.
The Bunny Children follow the Princesses as they get off of their parents.
"Oh, my head hurts," said Tintley, holding her head.
"Yeah, mine's too. I guess we haven't used to the rides in vehicles," Turpley agreed.
But when heartbeats are heard, the Guardian Fairies hyperventilate as flashes of Mother Angel and Papa Devi L protect them, flying into the sky and lying on the ground in pain.
So many memories of their past caused them to faint, leaving the Toonateers shocked.
"Tintley! Turpley!" Mickey shouted.
In this memory, Tintley and Turpley are modeling inter statues of Julius the Cat and Fanny Cottontail in their lab at the Heart of Wasteland. They both look at their hands for a blue heart key and a green skeleton key to appear in their palms. They looked thoughtfully at the keys before they made them disappear into their chests. They covered the statues in Paint and Thinner, with their hands glowing in their colors.
"This has to work. They have to come to life. Let's add more to it," said Tintley.
Their hands glow brighter as Paint and Thinner start to mix.
"Come on. Come on. That should be enough," said Turpley as he and Tintley put more into it.
When Mother Angel and Papa Devi L came in, they were shocked to see what the Fairies were doing.
"What are you doing?!" Mother Angel yelled.
"Stop, you two! That's too much Paint and Thinner," Papa Devi L shouted.
"Not until life is seen," said both Fairies, beginning to look tired.
"But you looked like you're hitting your limits. We demand you stop!"
"Your life forces can't take it! Don't!" Mother Angel yelled as they both ran toward the Fairies.
But as soon as they reached them, Tintley and Turpley stopped what they were doing, so their Caretakers caught them in their hands. The two inert statues instead float in a mixture of Paint and Thinner. The mixture soon starts to bubble as it turns black and inky.
"Huh? That's new," Tintley surprised.
"We did model the statues from the Ink Stones," said Turpley.
"But since you added more Thinner into them, wouldn't it be off balance?"
"Uh oh…"
The ink soon came together for it to grow bigger.
"RUN!" Mother Angel exclaimed.
After the four ran out of the lab, the ink spotted out like a geyser. The two tribes watched in horror as the ink turned into the Blot Heart with storm clouds surrounding it.
"What have we done?! Somehow, our mixture of Paint and Thinner became so conscious that it didn't make the statues come to life," said Turpley.
"The unbalanced of it all and combined with our magic, was too much for it to become this dark stain of heartlessness. A Blot," said Tintley, while the Blot Heart's actual form appeared off-scene.
"Let Mother Angel and I deal with this. We can't let Yen Sid know about this," said Papa Devil L, spreading out his Demonic Wings.
"And we can't let get near the Toons either. Our people, defense protocols," said Mother Angel, spreading her Angelic Wings.
The Caretakers puts the Guardian Fairies to go up and fight the Blot Heart's tangible form. The battle became blocked with static, blur, and sparks. The two Guardian Fairies screamed during it while they held their faces in shock.
In reality, they screamed as they woke up while in Mickey's hands, "No! Mother Angel and Papa Devi L!"
They looked around to see the Toonateers looking down on them in worry.
"Tintley and Turpley, are you okay? You were mumbling during the unconscious stage," said Gus.
"He ain't kidding. You mumbled something about Mother Angel and Papa Devi L risking their lives to fight something," Oswald added.
"I think our minds are trying to tell an important memory," said Tintley.
"Maybe you two should stay behind on this one. It seems harmful enough due to the three Dictators wanting to capture you," said Ortensia.
"No, we need to continue to be with you. It's the only way to regain all our memories and discover what happened to our people."
"Where is the last Princess?" Turpley asks.
"Hmm… Since our last Disney Princess Raya, even though Princess Asha of Wish the Movie is one, she's still on the trials to become one; there's one place of Wasteland we haven't checked, Tomorrow City," Mickey continued. "Although, that would seem impossible, considering that it's a futuristic environment and Raya is from the 15th century of southeast Asia, I believe."
"I hate to doubt your conclusion, Mickers, but My Remote is saying she's there," said Oswald, looking at the radar.
"Well, there goes my thought of refusal."
When a spotlight shines down, the Mad Doctor slides into and sings, "My Toonateers, all of Wasteland is ours [The Mad Doctor takes the map off Wasteland with an Oswald icon flag on it.]
Thanks to our friendship and heartful powers. [The Mad Doctor group hugs the Toonateers, but only Turpley looks visibly distributed by this.]
But saving the last Disney Princess won't be pretty. [The Mad Doctor lets go of them while Turpley is shaking from fueling up with irritation.]
For she is held tight at Tomorrow City-" [And when the Mad Doctor is about to hit a high note, a coconut custard pie with whipped cream in a pie pan was thrown at his face.]
The three Toonateers try to hold in their laughter while Gus can't contain his laughter, and Tintley looks surprised. They all look at Turpley, who is hoping for two pies in his hands, one cherry, and the other blueberry.
"There's plenty more where that came from, Doc. Now can it with the singing," said Turpley.
"Turpley, where did you get the pies?" Tintley asks.
"Does it matter? It's Cartoon Wasteland, a bigger version of a ToonTown."
As the Mad Doctor wipes the pie off him, he says, "Now, where was I?"
Soon the cherry pie is thrown at his face; he says while wiping it off quickly, "I didn't mean my singing!"
"Are you sure about that cherry pie face?" Turpley said, preparing to throw the blueberry pie.
"Yes. Anyway, I can't find the Heart of Wasteland. It appears to be well hidden within the seas."
"Must be embedded with magic so that it won't be detected," said Gus.
"Perhaps I will use the Paint and Thinner Crystals to join my search."
But when the blueberry pie is thrown to Mad Doctor's face, he shouts, "Cut that out!"
"Hehehehe. I couldn't help it. It was for the fans and readers, but it was sure a mistake. They wanted…blackberry pie!" said Turpley, throwing it into his face.
But Mad Doctor grabbed Turpley and said, "Keep that up, and I'll find out Amity Blight's secret recipe for homemade Fairy Pie."
"Oh, that sounds yummy. Is it made for fairies, or is its name like that for its flavor?" Turpley was curious.
"If only he knew the truth," Mickey mumbled.
"Well, we better catch up to the last Disney Princess and get Mickey's gift for Oswald," said Tintley.
"Oh, right. Oswald's birthday will be over in 12 hours," said Ortensia.
"Oh, dear. I was so focused on saving the Disney Princesses and taking back Wasteland that I forgot all about my 96th birthday," said Oswald.
"Well, it shows you have a kind heart that puts others before you, honeybunny."
"I guess so, honey bunch. We should get going to save Raya."
"Wait! What about Prescott?!" Gus asks in concern.
"Prescott? He's still in recovery. Though physically healed, it will take him time to be 100%," said the Mad Doctor, letting Turpley go.
"I recommend you bathe him in Paint. Paint is good for the healing of Toons," said Tintley.
"Yeah. What she said. But before we go…," said Turpley before he smashed a lemon margin pie at the Mad Doctor's face. "One more for the fans! Wish us luck!"
When the Toonateers go through the Plutopia Projector, the Mad Doctor says with pie on his face, "I think that Turpley Fairy doesn't like me one bit."
When Gremlin Jamface was flying by, he noticed the pie-covered Mad Doctor and said, "MD, why are you covered lemon margin? And you smell like you had coconut custard pie with whipped cream, cherry, blueberry, and blackberry pies."
"That Turp Guardian Fairy thinks he's like a god of this Wasteland."
"Now that you mentioned it. Prescott mumbled about those who control the Guardian Fairies while being a God of Wasteland."
"What?! So, that's why the Petes wanted them? How can you become a god with the pair of Fairies?"
"Well, they are associated with Paint and Thinner, the key substances of Wasteland's existence."
"I must continue my search for the Heart of Wasteland. Keep an eye on Prescott for more clues."
"You got it. He is my brother, after all."
At the Heart of Wasteland, the three Dictators presented 12 Darkest of Heart Essences before the Blot Heart while their eyes glowed red, blue, and green.
But when the Blot Heart beats fast, which shocked the three Dictators look shaken in fear, and BM says, "Huh? I don't get it. This latest one we present to you is shaped like a goddess's heart. It's not to your tastes?"
"We don't understand why you need the last of the Darkest of Heart Essences. Is it because you need the freshest one made or something cooler?" BOswald asks.
When the Blot Heart beats louder, the three Dictators feel surprised, for BOrtensia said, "What? Do you want us to use them now? Really?"
The Blot Heart beats slowly, and BM responds, "Oh my…We never knew you were so caring to your kind unless you plan to use us for your plans."
The Blot Heart beats softly, making BOswald say, "Well, you're right. We both have the same goals. It's just our counterparts and those Guardian Fairies in the way of our plans. Even with our manipulation, they are tough cookies to crumble."
The Blot Heart beats like a normal heart for BOrtensia said, "Ready for what? The story how you were created? We're listening…."
