Escape Doom

The First Chapter

Lilo was exploring for lore, she had a way of collecting more than those her size in general, she could spot it gleaming in caves, shimmering in grass, and all over the place, but the problem was she could easily get scrapes and bruises. Nani had screamed at her the last she came home banged up, a tree branch had given her a black eye.

But thanks to Jumba's healing potion, she had healed fairly wuickly, much more so than natural which was saying something because very little kids could recovery from stuff like that fast enough already.

Only…that wasnt' actually Jumba's potion. He had brought it from a lovely young woman with long blonde hair, name of Rapunzel.

But he wasn't going to tell Lilo that. Better to take credit for something he hadn't concocted, since his goal was to become Scientist Mastermind.

The only problem? Someone else had that goal, Yzma, who was looking for lore to brew her elixirs, so she could finally turn Kuzco into something better than a llama.

Rafiki watched the little girl collecting ore frm behind a rock. Sonn he would get to rush her team, but nto yet. Wait until the young prince had emerged to serve as her bodyguard, at least.

And there he was, Simba, coming cavorting along.

"Lilo, it isn't safe for you to be out by yourself."

"But Simba, I need to collect all the lore!"

"I felt safer when you were taking pictures of fat people on the beach."

"Those were good times," Lilo said, tracing her fingers through blades of glass while bent down. "But now we are here."

"Nani isn't going to like my reports. A And you could get a snakebite out here."

"Oh, you're such a worrywart," Lilo remarked. "Like that prude, Zazu."

That caused Simba to growl. "Don't compare me to that pricklefeathers lumbag! I'm the king of fun."

"Prove it!" Lilo declared.

Simba chased her while she laughed across the fields. She dropped some of her lore, but that was okay, she could just scoop it up again.

Rafiki continued to watch these two. It was sad to have to go against Mufasa, but he had to aid his team. The first member of which was about to cme out, though it was better to wait for Lilo and Simba to leave.

That was two hours later. Finally, Rafiki drew a silhouette in blood on the bark of a tree and started chanting.

Out in the field, purple glowed and someone started to appear, coming up through a circular pattern Rafiki hadn't drawn in chalk.

"Hello," said the white creature with an orange nose who had appeared, quite a little one like Lilo. "I'm Olaf, happy snowman!"

"Well, Olaf," Rafiki said, "I hope you are ready to collect lore."

"Um, I guess I am. Just one question."

"Yes?"

"What is lore?"

"Little jewels. There are all kinds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, topaz, and many others." Rafini made a motion with his fingers as if palming some. "They gleam, and our team needs 20,000 of them to win."

Olaf tilted his head. "I don't know what half of those words mean."

Rafiki sighed. This was going to take a good long time to catch Olaf up to speed. If only he could summon smeone else to explain all this to the snowman, relegate that task, but alas, it was just him and Olaf out here at the moment, serving under the Amethyst flag.

Others would come. If they somehow didn't, their team would fail, and the Amber one would win. It was going to be challenging enough to take them out as it was.

But a snowman was all Rafiki had for lore-collecting right now, so…he had to make sure Olaf knew exactly what he was summoned for. As irritating as that happened to be.
