Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.
The sun was setting as the carriage reached the forest near Castle Lemongrab, Night, Hunter Wizard, and Huntress wizard hopped off the back of the carriage. The three of them watched as the carriage made it's way towards Castle Lemongrab. The guards at the main gate stopped the carriage and approached it. A slider guy walked up to Weiss, while a couple a couple of bandit thieves notched some arrows to their bows and prepared for trouble.
"State your name and business." Said the slider guy.
Patience leaned her head out of the carriage window and scowled at the slider guy.
"How dare you addresses me and my escort in such a rude manner! I am Princess Patience, from...Blueland! A content on the other side of the world and I came here because I heard so many great things about this land and this kingdom in particular, so I came here to discuss trade and business between our lands, but if your going to be rude then I won't do any business with you. I'll tell you master that he lost a very good business opportunity, because of you!"
"Um...sorry. I apologize and there's no need to report this to the master. I'm a...idiot." Said the Slider Guy flashing a nervous smile.
"You can go on in." Said one of the bandit thieves.
"Very well then." Said Patience as she stuck her nose in the air.
The guards let the carriage through the gates. Night, Hunter Wizard, and Huntress Wizard watched as the carriage went inside.
"Alright they're in. Now we just wait and watch. If things start going bad we need to cause a distraction." Said Huntress Princess.
The little group sat down and watched the castle, waiting for any signs of trouble.
As the carriage made its way into the castle, Tobe rolled out from underneath the carriage with a tiny Jake clinging to his shoulders. Tobe dove into shadows and began to use his ninja skills to sneak around. The carriage soon found a place to park. Weiss hopped up from her seat and went back to open Patience's door. The Elemental was holding a paper bag and breathing into it a few times, before she put it away.
"I can't believe that worked! I was totally bluffing and that guy bought it! What a rush!" Said Patience.
"You ok to get moving?" Asked Weiss.
"I'm cool. I'm cool. Everything is cool and calm. I'm a princess. I totally got this." Said Patience.
The Elemental exited the carriage and she and Weiss headed towards the theme park and casino. While that was going on Marceline and Lucinda were flying above the castle grounds in their animal forms. The two cousins landed behind a snack stand and changed into their human forms.
"Alright our job is to take down the zeppelins, so King and his forces can't chase us in them." Said Lucinda as she sprouted her wings and turned invisible.
Marceline went invisible and the two cousins flew over to the zeppelins and poked holes in them with their claws. The zeppelins began to lose air and deflate a bit.
Tobe was sneaking around the castle grounds with Jake on his shoulder. The ninja hid behind a game both and looked over at a large table that had several criminals around it drinking. A couple of notable people at the table were the Farm and Bucket Knight. Tobe reached into his pocket and pulled out a tiny white packet.
"Whats that's?" Asked Jake.
"Sleeping powder. Our escape will be much easier if we don't have to deal with Farm and Bucket Knight. Those two could easily catch up to use and ruin everything." Said Tobe.
"How do you plan to get that into their drinks?" Asked Jake.
"There's to much open space for me to sneak to the table, you will have to be the one to do it." Said Tobe as he handed the packet to Jake.
"Fine I'll do it." Said Jake before he raced off to the table.
Jake used his stretching powers to get onto the table unnoticed by the criminals. The magical dog made his way across the table avoiding an armwrestling match, mugs being slammed onto the table, drumming fingers, the falling head of a guy passing out from to much partying, and the liquid nose projectiles from a guy who drank a bunch of milk and laughed so hard that it came shooting out of his nose. After facing these obstacles, Jake made it to the other end of the table. Jake opened the packet it up and headed towards Farm and Bucket Knight's drinks. He reached them and poured the packet's powder contents in them. The Farm was drinking from a barrel with a handle on it and Bucket Knight was drinking from a bucket.
"Man I hope this works." Thought Jake as he jumped off the side of the table.
The Farm and Bucket Knight grabbed their drinks and chugged. The two finished their drinks and put their empty cups on the table. Both the Farm and Bucket Knight had pink cheeks and lazy eyes. In a matter of minutes both the Farm and Bucket Knight fell onto their backs and passed out. Jake had made it back to Tobe and the two of them watched as the two villains passed out.
"Well that's done, now let's search the dungeon. I'm sure at least two of our targets are down there." Said Tobe.
The ninja and the dog snuck off towards the dungeon.
Meanwhile Patience and Weiss were exploring the casino, when they suddenly found themselves face to face with King and Sedusa. King smiled at the two ladies with his most charming smile.
"Greetings, I am King, the ruler of this fine castle and this lovely lady next to me is Sedusa." Said King.
"I'm Princess Patience of Blueland and this is my escort Captain Weiss." Said Patience as she introduced herself and Weiss.
"And what brings you fine ladies here?" Asked King.
"Well Blueland is a content on the other side of the world and were heard tales of Ooo from some travelers and we decided to come see it for ourselves. We're interested in going into business with the kingdoms here. I saw your kingdom and thought this would be the best place to do business with." Said Patience.
"I see, very interesting and I'm delighted that you came here to do business with me. Tell me a little bit about Blueland." Said King.
"Well our biggest...crop are blueberries, our flower...is the violet, and...our bird is the bluejay." Said Patience with a slight nervous smile.
"That's a lot of blue." Said Sedusa.
"Well...it isn't called Blueland for nothing." Said Patience with a little nervous laugh.
"To true!" Said King with a laugh.
Patience relaxed a little. King decided to give his guest a tour of Castle Lemongrab. Weiss and Patience followed King and Sedusa, waiting for the right opportunity to nab the evil women.
Meanwhile in the dungeon, Tobe was sneaking around looking for Katz and Le Quack. Jake had hopped off of Tobe's shoulder and had returned to his normal size to follow the ninja. The two heroes continued on deeper into the dungeon, when they heard voices up ahead.
"I present the Iron Maiden." Said Le Quack's voice.
"Quit a lovely device and we have just the thing to test it on." Said Katz's voice.
Tobe and Jake peered around a corner and saw a large room full of torture devices. Katz and Le Quack had their backs facing Tobe and Jake as they stood before a large coffin like device that was filled with spikes. It appeared that the villains were putting something in the coffin device, but the heroes couldn't see what it was. Jake began to panic a little as he thought that a person was being put in the Iron Maiden.
"Oh man this is seriously messed up!" Whispered Jake as he prepared to leap out and go to the rescue.
"No." Said Tobe as he held Jake back.
Jake began to protest and Katz slammed the Iron Maiden shut! There was the sound of something soft being stabbed and red liquid began to leak out of the Iron Maiden. Jake starred at the Iron Maiden looking incredibly pale. The magic dog almost threw up, but he swallowed and continued to stare at the Iron Maiden in horror. Le Quack walked up to the Iron Maiden and opened it. Inside there was a large bag of tomatoes. The bag was removed and Jake let out a sign of relief.
"Now let us nab these two." Said Tobe.
The heroes stepped out and confronted the villains, who recognized Tobe instantly. The villains raced over to a wall of weapons and quickly armed themselves. Katz grabbed a cat o' nine tails and Le Quack grabbed some knives.
"Well Le Quack it appears we have intruders and one of them is that ninja that attacked us and took our prisoners away." Said Katz.
"Indeed it is. It seems will get to have our revenge and we get to test the Iron Maiden on a living creature." Said Le Quack with a grin.
The villains charged forward swinging their weapons. Katz went after Tobe and Le Quack went after Jake. Le Quack was swinging, his blades around at Jake forcing him to retreat back. Jake looked around franticly for something to use against Le Quack and his eyes landed on a bucket of dead fish. The dog kicked the bucket at Le Quack. The bucket flew through the air dropping some of the dead fish as it went and landed right on Le Quack's head. Le Quack let out a shout of surprise and dropped his knives as he tried to yank the bucket off. The duck stepped on a dead fish and fell backwards banging his head onto the floor and knocked himself out.
"The duck is down!" Cheered Jake.
Katz was charging at Tobe, swinging his cat o' nine tails at the ninja. Tobe was forced to retreat back and Katz smiled wickedly as he saw that the ninja had no swords to defend himself with. Katz swung his weapon at Tobe, but this time the ninja caught it with his right hand. The feline let out a startled gasp as Tobe delivered a chop to his stomach making Katz let go of the cat o' nine tails and double over. Tobe delivered a chop to the back of Katz's neck knocking him to the ground in an unconscious heap. The ninja then went about locating some rope to tie the villains up. Jake picked up Le Quack and Tobe picked up Katz.
"Let's find the others and get out of here." Said Tobe.
The two heroes left the dungeon with their captives. Two of the three Citadel inmates had been captured, but the last one was going to be tough and King and his forces weren't going to simply let the heroes escape with his girlfriend. Escaping from Castle Lemongrab was easier said then done.
To be continued.
