Taran barely kept his breath baited as he and the others took a few steps back from the beast. He glared down on them as he slowly advanced into the room.

"You dare to enter my home armed." he snarled. "And come into this room without-"

"N-Now wait a moment." stammered Fflewdurr. "L-Lets all be reasonable about this, I'm sure, we can all come to a…"

The Beast only growled as Fflewdurr spoke, cutting him off.

"You know what, I'll shut up." said Fflewdurr.

"Beast, Enough!" snapped Belle, Making the Beast instantly stand up straight in surprise. "These guys weren't doing anything, right?"

"Uh… yeah." shrugged Gurgi. "No harm done."

"You see?" asked Belle, folding her arms.

"They still tress-" The Beast started, then paused, suddenly looking at the sword in Tarans grasp. "Actually, I suddenly don't care about that anymore. Where did you get that sword?"

Taran looked at the blade. "What's it to you?"

"That sword was sealed away decades ago," said the Beast. "How did you get it?"

Taran looked at the sword he held, thought for a moment, completely unsure what to say. "Well I…Uh…" He looked to his companions, then faced the beast again. "I got it off Ebay!"

Everyone stared at Taron, Gurgi facepalmed as Fflewdurr shook his head disparagingly.

"Really?" asked the Beast noculantly. "You really think they sell ancient swords on Ebay? Do you even know what time period we live in?"

"... Do you?" asked Taran.

The Beast didn't reply for a moment. "Uh… Feudal Europe?"

"Then why do we have internet?" asked Taran.

"I don't know, It's a time climate! When does a time climate make fucking sense!?" the Beast said.

"Language!" snapped Belle.

"Are you keeping her here?" asked Eilonwy suddenly.

Everyone looked at Eilonwy suddenly.

"What?" asked the Beast.

A faint glow seemed to spark in Eilonwy's eyes as she stared down the beast coldly. "Are, you, keeping, her, here?"

"Well this is getting awkward," said Lumiere.

Belle and the beast looked at each other for a moment, before the Beast answered. "Uh, Yes? But that shouldn't be you'r-"

Beast was suddenly cut off when Eilonwy suddenly lunged at the Beast, landing blow after blow with surprising uncharacteristic strength that suddenly radiated off her as she wailed on him, Her Bauble seemed to glow as bright as her while this happened.

Taran, Belle and the others looked on in complete shock as they watched Eilonwy wail on the guy.

"Damn…" said Lumiere.

Taran suddenly ran up to Elionwy and quickly tried to pull her off of the Beast. "Alright, Eilonwy that's enough…"

Elionwy wasn't listening, she just kept landing punch after punch as Taran tried to shake her off. "That's enough Eilonwy!"

Eilonwy suddenly stopped her attack and looked up at Taran, The yellow glow in her eyes suddenly gone. "Taran…?" Eilonwy looked tired for a moment, then fainted into Taran's arms, Her bauble dropped to the floor and was quickly caught by Gurgi.

"What in great Belin was that?!" asked Fflewddur.

"Oh my god is he alright?" Belle rushed over to the beast, kneeling over his unconscious form.

Meanwhile,

Outside the castle, Rasputin stood at the edge of the bridge. He had followed his glowing reliquary as it showed him what was going on in the castle. He looked up and smiled. Holding up the reliquary, several aperations in the form of green gargoyles appeared like mist in front of him, awaiting his instruction.

"Go… find the source of the power I now sense." He hissed. "Whatever it is, I think It would be worth a little… He He He, peek."

Meanwhile,

Back in the castle, Beast groaned as he was laid to rest in the castle's infirmary, Everyone else stood by as the doctor. (Who was in the form of an end table.) checked him over. Eilonwy was kept in another room from everyone else, Gurgi still held onto her bauble, which had turned off and was now just a dull brown orb in his hands.

"Well Doctor?" asked Cogsworth.

"He'll be fine in a few minutes," said the Doctor. "I'm surprised that scrawny girl managed to beat his ass that much, She's like, what? Three feet shorter than him?"

"Yeah, real crazy shit." said a small young teacup named Chip.

"Chip!" scolded Mrs. Potts. "such language."

"Sorry."

"Uh… Where did you come in from?" asked Cogsworth.

"I don't know." shrugged Mrs. Potts, Or at least if she had shoulders, she would have made the gesture.

"I've never seen her go out like that," said Taran. "So… angry and… powerful."

"You've only known her for a month," said Fflewdurr.

"Well, still." said Taran, then he looked at the sword. "How does this guy know about the sword? I mean I know it's ancient, But how could he recognize it?"

"We have a library in the castle," said Belle. "Perhaps we could try and…"

But before Belle could say more, Eilonwy suddenly appeared in the room, rubbing her head warily.

"Uh… What happened?" She asked as she cast her wary gaze upon the others.

Everyone looked at her in surprise and slight hesitation as Gurgi coughed awkwardly.

"Eilonwy." said Taran. "What was… that back there?"

"What?' asked Eilonwy.

"You just… went completely crazy back in that room," said Belle. "What the hell were you doing?"

"What are you talking about?" asked Eilonwy.

"Take a good look!" said Cogworth as he pointed at the Beast.

Eilonwy starred in shock. "Wha- I did that?"

"Yeah." said Gurgi. "Pretty lady totally came out of Brie Larson."

Everyone looked at Gurgi.

"Brie Larson?" asked Lumiere.

Eilonwy was still baffled. "I did that?"

"Yes!" said Taran. "You just went completely apeshit on him. what happened?"

"Well I… I just." Eilonwy faltered. "I don't know what came over me, W-When I realized he was holding you captive I just… I don't know." Eilonwy sat down against the wall holding her head.

"He's not holding me prisoner." said Belle, Lumiere and Cogsworth both looked at her blankly. "N-Not technically… But still… kinda…"

"So he is holding you hostage, isn't he?' asked Eilonwy suddenly.

"...Look, it's complicated, okay?!" said Belle, her left eye almost twitching.

Before Eilonwy could say anything more, A groaned erupted from the room, The beast stirred up as he got his bearings.

"Oh he must be waking up now," said Mrs. Potts.

"I'll take care of this." said Belle, as she started to enter the room. "You guys… stay out of sight for now."

With that in mind, Lumiera and the others led Tarans group away while Belle checked on the beast, none of them aware of the green gargoyles watching them, before scurrying off.

Taran and his group were sorted into another chamber, Eilonwy being seated in an armchair as they gathered around.

"We apologize for the… hostility from our master," said Lumiere. "But you must understand these are… distrusting times."

"Yes, Especially with that linch skulking about, trying to rob us," said Cogsworth.

"The sorcerer you mentioned?" asked Taran. "Who is he?"

"We don't know," said Lumiere. "His name is Rasputin, He's out to claim the secrets of this castle, we don't know why, But we think he's trying to exploit the curse."

"Curse?" asked Eilonwy. "What curse?"

"Well…" said Lumiere, rubbing the back of his head. "That is…" Cogsworth suddenly clamped a handle around his mouth. "Are you daft we can't just immediately-"

"They probably have enough questions of their own at their point," said Lumiera. "Might as well answer them, try to explain."

"Explain what?" asked Taran. "What are you getting at?!"

"Well uh…" Cogsworth looked about his associates before speaking again. "Since you might be around for a while, what with this storm and all…"

"Perhaps we could, we should… Explain a bit more about ourselves." said Lumiere.

"What kind of Magic allows furniture to talk?" asked Fflewddur. "In fact, what even is this place?"

"A cursed place." said Lumiere solemnly. "We were not always what you see before you."

"It seems so long ago now," said Mrs. Potts. "Since the Enchantress."

"What enchantress?" asked Eilonwy.

"It was a cold winter's night," said Lumiere. "An old beggar woman came to this very castle, and asked for shelter."

"But the master of this castle, That is to say the prince… Huh?" Cogsworth suddenly stopped what he was saying when he thought he noticed something creeping above them.

The Gargoyle spied on the group as they talked among themselves, intently listening as the servants told their story.

Later,

Rasputin was waiting when the Gargoyle returned and whispered in his ear.

"Ah, The perfect opportunity." He chucked. "Come Bartok, Let us proceed."

The small bat groaned as he flew from her perch in a nearby tree and mounted his Master's shoulder. "This is not the most Ideal vacation." He muttered, as Rasputin crossed the causeway.

Meanwhile,

"And now, here we are." finished Lumiere.

"So… this… enchantress turned him into a Beast to punish him for turning him out." Taran said. "And then turned you guys into… to furniture?"

"Yes, you could say that," said Cogsworth.

"So… is there any way to turn you all back?" asked Fflewddur.

"We know what must be done," said Mrs. Potts. "Though there have been a few hiccups here and there."

"Like kidnapping innocent women and holding them against their will?" asked Eilonwy.

The appliances were disturbed by this statement, but Fflewdurr spoke up.

"Y-You'll have to pardon her." He said. "She's uh… bean in this kind of experience."

"You mean you fell in-" Chip was quickly hushed by his mother. "It's a bit more complicated than it seems." She said,

"How so?" Asked Gurgi.

"You see." Said Lumiere. "It was Belle who let herself be held, In exchange for her Father freedom, They're cool now though, And desperately so."

"Why?" Asked Taran.

"Did you happen to see a Rose in the room in the west wing?" Asked Mrs. Potts.

"No, We didn't go up there." Said Fflewdurr.

"Well, If the Master can learn to love and earn love in return, before the last petal falls" Said Cogsworth.

"The spell will be broken!" Finished Lumiere.

"Oh, I see." Said Taran, having heard these kinds of spells from Dalben before. "Do you think he'll make it?"

"We think so." Said Mrs. Potts.

It was at this moment, A Loud bang was heard.

"What was that?!" Asked Gurgi.

Then without warning, a flight of gargoyles burst into the room!

"Sacre Bleu! Invaders!" Exclaimed Lumiere as the green Gargoyles swarmed everywhere, plucking up every object they could find and smashing it, Chip and Mrs. Potts quickly took shelter under a drawer as Eilonwy tumbled out of her armchair.

Two Gargoyles grabbed Cogsworth and fiddled with his nose. "Gah! Get your mangey claws off of me-!" He let out a scream as one Gargoyle fiddled with his gearbox.

Taran, Fflewdurr and Lumiere swatted at the Gargoyles as they swooped at them, Taran with his sword, Fflewddur with his harp, while Lumiere enlarged the lights on his candles and showed the Gargoyles away, freeing Cogsworth from their grasp.

Eventually, Eilonwy's bauble came to life again and flew up to strike at the green Gargoyles, who were all poofed away in green smoke by its angelic light, The remaining Gargoyles fled the room as the light gave chase.

"Wait! Where are you going?" Eilonwy called, as she got up and pursued it, the others followed after.

The Bauble led them back to the main entrance to the Castle, and there, standing in the open doorway, stood a strange man, in a large brown rode, a long black beard and a small green reliquary with green mist seeping out of it.

"This is very much some poor housekeeping." He croaked as he took notice of the group. "Your master really has no taste in luxury."

"Our Master has no wish for you to be here Vagabond!" Cogsworth declared. "Now get lost!"

"Not until I claim what I've come for!" The old man declared, and he japped his reliquary forward as a blast of green laser rocket at them, they all jumped out of the way as Rasputin fired again, Taran's sword began to glow, allowing the boy to deflect the blow.

"Ah, now that is a most peculiar find." Rasputin chuckled. "Such power…"

"Run! Rasputin now seeks your sword!" Luminaire exclaimed.

"Rasputin?" Asked Fflewddur.

They quickly scrambled to their feet as Rasputin fired again, Eilonwy's Bauble seemed to glow up again, temporarily blinding the Mad Monk for a moment, before retreating into Eilonwy's hands.

"Ah, the princess of the House of Lylr." Rasputin said, as his eye's landed on Eilonwy. "I suspected as much."

"Y-You know of me?" Eilonwy Asked.

"Of course." Said Rasputin, as he stepped closer. "I make it my business to know everything in the mystical world, and obtain their power as my own! that's why, I might as well…"

He reached out his hand to grab her Bauble, But it quickly flashed in his face, causing him to stumble back, quickly regaining his composure, he lifted up his reliquary and another swarm of Gargoyles emerged, screeching and grasping towards Eilonwy, only for Taran to step in, sword blazing and swinging and managed to drive the Gargoyles away.

"I only came for the mirror in this Castle." Said Rasputin. "But you're trinkets, I believe will be a fair compensation."

A roar came from above and all turned to see the Beast bounding down the stairs. "You'll have to get by me first, corpse!"

"Ah, I was wondering when you'd come to see me." Rasputin said.

"I've told you before, you're not welcome here." The Beast snarled. "Leave, now!"

"Give me your Treasures and I will." Rasputin replied. "Otherwise!"

His Gargoyles swarmed out again, grabbing the Beast's servants.

"Give me your Magic Mirror." Demanded Rasputin. "Or I'll break them!"

"No!" The Beast cried, watching helplessly as Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts and Chip were held in the air, held up before they could be smashed onto the stone cold ground.

"I won't repeat myself! give up the Mirror, and any other magical objects you have now!" Rasputin snarled.

"You… You can have… whatever you want." Said the Beast. "Just don't hurt them!"

The wicked man smiled as he lowered his hostages to the ground. "Good, now take me to where you're keeping-"

Just then, Eilonwy's bauble started to glow, and so did the Princess eye's, She rose to her feet and glared at Rasputin, who took notice of her.

"What…?" He asked, wondering at her form, as if she was a predator staring down her prey, than, she rushed forward, grabbing Rasputin by the brim of his cloak and swung him around, and then cast him right through the door, where he tumbled towards the bridge and laid their in a heap, As he got up, he saw the girl suddenly standing over him, and she punched the ground, hard enough to leave a cartor in it, He scrambled to his feet and she kicked him over the over the side of the bridge and he plunged down screaming into the waters below.

Bartok watched the whole thing play out and took his que to book it, while Taran, Beast and Gurgi went outside to see Eilonwy power down and lean against the side of the bridge.

Later,

Everyone then went back to the Beast's chambers, With Eilonwy still recovering from the whole ordeal they just went through.

"Do you think he survived that fall?" Asked Fflewddur.

"Not sure." Said the Beast. "But I don't think he'll come back anytime soon."

"What is this… Mirror he was asking about?" Taran asked.

The Beast gave the boy a hard look, before Belle took hold of his claw. "I uh, don't worry about it."

"Okay then." Said Taran.

"Now tell me." Said the Beast as he held up Taran's Sword. "Where did you get this Sword?"

"Now wait a minute!" Protested Taran. "If you're not willing to share your secrets why should I-!"

"It was from the Horned King's castle." Said Eilonwy.

"Eilonwy!" Exclaimed Taran.

"The Horned King?!" Exclaimed Belle.

"You were in the Castle of that… That fiend?!" Cogsworth asked.

And so, Taran reluctantly explained his whole story. "And now, we're currently searching for my pig before the Horned King's agents find her." He finished.

"Par Dieu." Said Lumiere. "You've been through so much!"

"And I apologize for any… hostility between us." Said the Beast.

"That's alright." Said Eilonwy. "I'm sorry for that whole… uh, lightshow back there too."

"Are you really calling it that?" Taran asked Fflewdurr, who simply shrugged.

"Thank you for your help." Said Belle. "If you need anything from us, just ask."

"You wouldn't happen to spare any… provisions for our journey, would you?" Asked Fflewddur.

"Of course." Said Cogsworth. "You're welcome here anytime."

"Do take care, dears." Said Mrs. Potts.

"We will." Said Eilonwy, before glancing knowingly over at Beast and Belle. "And uh, you two play nice now, okay?"

The beast and Belle were taken aback and looked sheepishly away from each other as everyone chuckled.

Meanwhile,

Bartok swooped down and landed on a nearby tree branch as Rasputin hauled himself out of the River, helped by a few Gargoyles.

"Some help you were back there!" He snapped up at the bat.

"Well not much I could do sir." Bartok replied. "Especially with those Magic kids back there."

"Yes…" Rasputin said, standing up. "Those kids may be of more use to us in the future."

"Like you wanted that Mirror?" A Voice asked.

Rasputin turned to see a man in a Black cloak and a red mustache on a small ridge above him.

"You know." Said Rothbart. "I was expecting you to come back empty handed from that venture, but I didn't think it would wash you up."

He laughed as Rasputin scowled. "Never you mind what I bring, Rothbart! By now we must be meeting with Ruber soon. It's time to begin our next plans."

And the two Sorcerers walked off together.

To Be Continued.
