"Sarah" a familiar voice entered sarah consciousness. "Oh sarah." It called to her in a whisper. Slowly Sarah started to come back to reality. She winced, her muscles sore. Her eyes slowly opened, adjusting to the rather dark, unfamiliar room she layed in.
Her eyes hazley looked around as she felt the stone ground underneath her. She went to move her hands to help her sit up, but found them tied behind her back. She felt leather around her hands, not a good sign. She ends up having to use her elbow to prop herself up onto her knees. She looked around the room, her mind slowly coming back to her.
"Oh Sarah, you honestly thought you could evade us? Well think again." She heard the familiar voice say from the shadows of the room. There was a snap, followed by a burst of light that filled the cold dark room. Sarah blinked as the light blinded her for a moment. When her vision began to focus, she could clearly see where she was.
She was in a stone room, surrounded by every villain imaginable. All of them grinning at her as if they won a trophy and wanted to rub it in her face. She blinked in shock as the memories of what happened flooded back in her mind.
It was then that a gust of wind hit her amr's. She glanced down at her body. Her jedi attire had been striped from her. She was left in her gray tank top and gray shorts she wore under her attire.
"Welcome back to the land of the living." Sarah's head snapped up to the voice infront of her. In front of her, stood a girl, same height, same features, wearing her outfit. It was as if Sarah was looking in a mirror, only this one hand a wand. But Sarah knew who the imposter was. "Nice to see you awake at last. Now we can continue our conversation."
"Tess?" Sarah looked at her with confusion, shock, and anger. "What has gotten into you? Why do you look like me?"
"Looks like you're looking in a mirror, doesn't it?" Tess grinned doing a 360 spin. "I got the witch doctor to thank for this." she grabbed hold of a necklace she was wearing. Dr. Facilier's talisman, the very same he used to turn Lawrence into Naveen. "Now to get to business." She hid the necklace under Sarah's robes.
Tess then pointed her wand at Sarah, placing it under her chin, forcing her to look Tess in the eyes. "Tell us what and where the second half of the key is."
Sarah's brows furrowed in anger as she gazed at her former friend. First, she tries to drown her sister and ex, next she steals her identity, and now she is standing here demanding the key as if she were Walt Disney himself. Sarah looked at her sternly, slowly shaking her head. "And why would I do that?"
"Why, we wouldn't want your little pixie friend to get injured now, would we?" she asked, sounding all innocent.
Sarah gave her an angry look. She spoke in a low, menacing growl "You wouldn't dare."
Tess only smiled "Oh really." she snapped her fingers, dropping her wand to her side allowing Sarah's head to drop slightly. Emerging from the crowd of villains stepped Captain Hook. Dangling from his hook, was a lantern cage, and inside of it was Tink. She was all red, her tiny fist pounded upon the glass.
"Such a lovely thing, isn't she?" Tess asked, glancing at the tiny fairy. "It would be such a shame if I killed her now." she put on a pretend pity face as she gleaned at Sarah. "But it's your choice Sarah, the key, or the pixie's life?!"
Sarah could feel all eyes on her as she thought about her options in her head. She lowered her gaze to the floor, thinking over her options. On the one hand, she couldn't give up the key, but on the other hand, she couldn't let Tess kill Tink. Glancing back up at Tess she shouted. "You let her go, you monsters!" she scrambled onto her knees, ready to lunge at her, but was quickly surrounded by a red light. Jafar had used his staff to freeze her movements, forcing her back onto the heels of her bare feet.
Tess simply shrugged "Very well, it's your choice." she put her wand to her chin, trying to think of the best way to kill Tink. "Now how to kill you? Crushing you would only make a mess. Perhaps a spell-" The villain's eyes widened with anticipation as Tess thought over her scheme. Then a light went off in her head, her face lighting up with a brilliant idea. "Or maybe watching her go out slowly is a better option."
Hook glazed down at Tess, eyes wide with glee as he knew what she was thinking. "You mean, let her light go out?"
Sarah and Tink looked at her with shocked expressions. Tink backed herself to the other side of the cage, shaking her head frantically. Sarah could only watch in shock as Tess began to speak the unforgettable phrase. "I. Don't. Believe. In.-"
"Wait!" Sarah said at the last minute. Tess and the villains looked at her as Sarah pleaded with them. "I'll tell you. I'll tell you, just leave Tink out of this."
Hook's smile quickly faded, but the rest of the villains seemed rather pleased with the outcome. Now they could get what they always wanted, the wishing star. Sarah lowered her head, muttering the words just loud enough for them to hear "Walt's watch." she listened as it echoed off the stone walls. "It's Walt's watch."
She listened as the room grew silent. It was followed by the clicking of heels that approached her. Next thing she knew, her chin was stanched up in a cold, icy-feeling hand. Sarah gulped as she came face to face with Maleficent once more. "And just where is that key now?" her tone was all cold. Sarah felt the wicked fairy nails dig into her skin. She shut her eyes, wincing in pain. "Or would you rather that wretched pixie friend of yours be killed?" her tone was more menacing now.
Sarah felt her head turn. She blinked her eyes open to see she was looking right at Tink. She could see how scared the little pixie was. She wanted to save Tink's life, but she didn't know where the key was. "I don't know, I gave it to Minnie and haven't seen it since."
Surprisingly, after a moment, MAleficent let go of Sarah, believing her. Sarah hung her head low, breathing as if she had been deprived of air for too long. "But you will never find it, you will never be able to infiltrate the castle!" she looked up, this time back at Tess. "You may look like me, but are voices are too different. Not to mention my sister will be able to tell you're a fraud."
Tess and the villains let out a burst of laughter. Tess shook her head "You don't get it do you, Sarah? We've got all the magic we need to trick your friends right here!" Tess declared, getting to her newfound friends.
Sarah looked down at the stone floor once more. The villains had gotten their way again, much to Sarah's dismay. Tess was right, they did have all the magic they would need to get the second half of the key.
(Ready as I'll ever be from Tangled the series.)
"Any moment now, Sarah." she heard Tess say. Her chin was grace once more, forcing her to look into Tessa's eyes. "Believe me I know, I've sunk pretty low. But whatever I'll do, you've deserved."
"Tess," Sarah tried to plead but Tess wouldn't listen.
"Quite!" Tess removed her hand from Sarah's face. "So I'm the bad guy, that's fine. It's no fault of mine and some justice at last will be served!" She grabbed Sarah's shirt, forcing her onto her knees.
"please listen-" but it was no use.
"Now it's time to rise up! Or its time to back down!" Tess pushed sarah roughly back into a sitting on her legs. She had to use her tied hand to brace herself from falling completely backwards. "And there's only one answer for me!" she turned, walking away from sarah towards a group of villains across the room in front of her. "And I'll stand up and fight, cause I know that I'm right!" she aprocher Ursula, sticking her hand out infront of her. The sea witch handed her something wich sarah couldn't see. "And iIm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready!" she swiftly turned back to Sarah revealing what was in her hand. She gasped as she saw Ursula's necklace. "Ready as I'll ever be!" all the villains, including Tess, let out a wicked burst of laughter that set chills down Tink and Sarah's spines.
Meanwhile, back at the castle, Amy was about to storm off towards the Rivers of America. Arthur ended up racing after her, managing to grab her hand. "Your not going alone then. If you want to go after her, then I'm coming to."
Jack also voiced his thoughts. "Same here, Sarah is our friend and we're not leaving her in the hands of the villains again."
"I may not be the bravest, but I won't let my sister harm our bestie." Jess chimed in. Though she was nervous, she cared too much about a friend to not help.
Amy smiled at her new friend's willingness to save her sister. Never once had she had this much support from anyone other than her sister. And here they were, willing to put their lives in danger just to save Sarah. Amy reached for her lightsaber "then what are we waiting for? Let's go save Sarah."
She pulled her lightsaber off her belt and held it in the air. "Now it's time to step up, or it's time to stand down and the answer is easy to see!" she felt for her sister, sensing her still over by Rivers Of America. She pointed her saber in that direction. "And I swear by my saber, if you're in, get on board!" she looked over her shoulder at her new friends "are you ready?"
"I'm Ready." Arthur said, putting a hand on excalibur.
"We're ready." Jack and JEss said in unison, putting fist into the air.
"We're ready!" they all shouted, gathering around Amy, who had lowered her lightsaber.
"Ready as will ever be!" Amy said as they took off towards the path between Frontierland and Fantasyland.
As they crossed into Frontierland however. Jess grabbed hold of Jack's arm whispering "Are you quite sure we can do this?"
"Together we will guarantee," Arthur said, who was walking on the other side of her. Together the group linked arms as Amy led them closer to where Sarah was being held.
Back down in the stone room, Sarah was being held in. Sarah continued to try and stop Tess from taking her voice. "Tess, please you don't need to do this." Sarah pleaded as she watched her come closer.
But Tess had heard enough out of Sarah. Fed up, she slapped her across the face. "Shut it! I think you've done enough damage as it is. Now it's my turn to take matters into my own hands!" The villains cheered as Tess held up the necklace in her left hand, and her wand in her right. "The last thing I need is that voice of yours and your identity will be all mine!"
She pointed her wand at Sarah's neck. Sarah leaned back as if it would protect her but it was too late. "I'll make them hear me!" Tess sang as a bolt of magic lept from her want, hitting Sarah's throat. Her neck craned back as magic filled it. She felt her vocal cords vibrate as the magic did its thing.
All while this was happening, the villains around the room joined in on the chorus. "Now it's time to repeat or it's time to resolve! And the outcome will hardly come free!"
The heroes continued their journey through Frontierland, towards the pirate's attraction in Liberty Square. "Prove they can trust me," Jess said, more to herself as she felt as if no one truly trusted her now that her sister had gone bad.
"Will save our home!" Arthur sang since this was his home.
"And my family!" Amy added since they were going after her sister.
"Now the lines in the sand, and our moments at hand!" the villains snickered as Sarah felt something being forced from her throat. She choked a little as magic flew out of her mouth. When it was out, she fell to her right, catching herself with her right arm before laying her head on the floor. She seethed in pain as she tried to regain her energy.
Now the heroes had made it to a sign that read "Adventureland Tree House."
"And I'm ready." Arthur sang.
"I'm ready." Jack and Jess sang simultaneously, slightly unsure if they could actually do this.
"I'm Ready!" Amy sang, taking out her lightsaber and pointing it toward the exit of the attraction, showing the direction in which her sister was being held.
Tess used the magic that flew from Sarah's neck, placing it inside of Ursula's necklace. She then tied it around her neck. "Ready as I'll, eeevvverrr be!" she concluded, this time in a voice that was very similar to Sarah's. The villains all laughed in triumph, step two in their plan to take over the kingdom had been a success. Tess now looked like a spitting image of Sarah.
"You won't get away with this," Sarah said angrily from the ground. Surprised she still had some of her voice left, though it was rather harsh than her usual one. "my sister will sense you're a fraud."
"Oh, we figured that may be the case, knowing her and your little companions there are probably already on their way here," Maleficent added, glaring down at Sarah. She then addressed the other villains in the room "Prepare for our guest's arrival, make sure that Jedi makes it to the room safely."
Once again the villains laughed as they exited the room. Sarah watched them all leave, including Tess who gave Sarah a smirk as she skipped cheerfully from the room. It wasn't until it was just her and Maleficent left, that Maleficent spoke once more. "What do you say about giving your sister a warm, villain's welcome, hmm?"
"You leave her out of this Maleficent!" Sarah shouted, even though her voice was barely above a whisper. She got back onto her legs and tried to stand. "she knows very little of how our world works, and you know it!"
"Oh, but I think she'll be of good use to us." Maleficent smirked, "What do you think she'll say when we threaten to kill her younger sister?"
Sarah's eyes lit up, she knew Maleficent wouldn't send her back to Hades. This was all just a trap for her sister, for Amy would do anything for Sarah. Sarah began to slowly step back saying"No, no." As she did she bumped into something, or someone. She turned her head and next thing she knew, she was grabbed by two pirates, each taking hold of an arm.
"Let's get to that welcome ceremony, shall we. After all, I would hate to be late to my own party." MAleficent laughed as she taped her captor on the ground. Green flames engulfed them, teleporting them somewhere else in the villain's base, leaving the room empty once more.
