Episode 6
The Hunchback and the Sorcerer
The bells tolled out their nightly call to the city of Paris. Set in the 15th century, in accordance with its natural time climate. All was quiet in the black of night, except for a figure in a black cloak, who watched as the workers finished decorating for tomorrow's festivities; he sniggered with anticipation.
Rothbart: A Feast of Fools… Hahahaha, time for fun.

Intro ends.
It was a clear sunny day as the team arrived in Europe, they got off Appa and made their way on foot to their next destination, Dipper was still mad at Jack for stealing the Chaos Emerald and was ranting at the old fox the entire way there.
Dipper: I can't believe you were holding onto the Chaos Emerald all along!
Jack: You're welcome.
Dipper: You're welcome? Is that all you have to say? I went nuts trying to find the damn thing! Do you have any-
Vana: Pines, would it kill you to stop whining?
Dipper: I'm not whining!
Jack: Your lips are moving, and you're ranting. That's whining. Sokka was dressed as a girl, and you don't hear him crying about it.
Mark: Alright, that's enough. We're here now. We can all take it easy right now, I suppose…
The team continued walking until they soon stopped on a hill.
Mark: And here we are.
The team stared in awe as before them was the city of Paris in what looked like… medieval times.
Mac: Wait, this is Paris?
Vana: …I thought this place would be more interesting! Where's the Eiffel tower?
Mark: Not built yet, I guess.
Sokka: Not built yet? What do you mean...not built yet?
Jack: It must be a Time Climate, set during the year 1482,
Dipper: Time Climate…?
Mark: Well, have you ever been told of the exact details of the Merge? The ancient accident where fiction and nonfiction became one?
Dipper: Of course, we have… does that explain this?
Mark: Hmm, Sort of.
Flashback.
Mark's Voice: You see… During that period in time, not only did cartoon characters (Good and Evil alike.) come to life, But certain places were thrown back to the dark ages per the background of a character's story, And ever since, the climate has shifted between today's times and a different past era.
Flashback ends.
Vana: Ah yes, I read about that once.
Soon they entered the city and looked around Paris, It was a bustling city, as one would expect, Shops and Taverns lined the streets, People walking past and the usual wat not.
Aang: Wow, Not too different from the Paris I knew.
Sokka: You went to Paris once?
Aang: Not really.
Sokka: Wha… what do you mean "not really?"
Katara: So why exactly are we in Paris?
Mark: I don't know. It's good to stop in a hideout before we make our way to Castle Dathyl.
Jack: And besides, Zuko, Eggman, Tak, and Cluny wouldn't dare come after us here.
Dipper: Why?
Mark: Well… I'll explain later. For now, we should find a spot to rest. We can make the journey tomorrow… Unless he's not in charge of this city anymore, and that I both hope and dread.
Dipper: What?
Mark: Wha…? Oh, nothing, Mac, take the kids and go look for a place to sleep. We'll find a place for Appa.
Mac: Yes, Sir. Come on, kids.
Mac then walked off, followed by Dipper, Dib, and Vana.
Jack: You sure letting them go on their own is safe?
Mark: I don't know. Hopefully, they don't get into any trouble.
Meanwhile,
On the other side of town, Captain Phoebus arrived with his horse. He was practically the image of a Noble knight of yore, dressed in sleek golden armor, a blue cloak, with matching blonde hair and stubble, he gazed around the city while looking at a map, Before shaking his head, krumping said map and threw it away.
Phoebus: You leave town for a couple of years, and they change everything!
He then saw two men walking past.
Phoebus: Excuse me, gentlemen, I am looking for the Palace of Justice, would you…?
The men ignored him and continued walking down the street.
Hmm… I guess not.
As Phoebus wandered about, Mac and the kids traipsed along the other side of the street, looking for an inn.
Mac: Geez, Do people even understand english?
Dib: I think that one guy did.
Vana: You'd think they'd at least have a sense of style in these times.
Vana then felt her foot step in something and looked down.
Vana: EWWWWWW.
Dib: So, What do we do now?
Mac: Well we'll just have to keep looking, We'll find something.
Dipper: Yeah, Although I guess… it would be worthwhile to entertain ourselves in the meantime, Aang would love that.
Dib: But… What could we do?
Mac: We could check out the Eiffel tower! Oh wait, that's still not built yet.
Vana: Is there nothing cool here?
Dib: Well, I heard there's gonna be some feast here. Maybe that could be worth watching.
Mac: You mean a Feast of Fools?
Vana: What's that?
Dipper: I think it's some medieval celebration they did in this time period or something? I don't know.
As the group traveled along, they walked past a pair of gypsies, playing on the side, a girl and her mother walking by in the opposite direction as them, with Phoebus in another direction, the girl was enamored by the gypsies and tried to get near but her Mother held her back.
Mother: Stay away, child. They're gypsies, and they'll steal us blind.
Phoebus stopped and looked Intrigued, particularly the woman. She was a beautiful thing, a Romanian woman with dark skin and green eyes, her black hair was tied back in a pink ribbon, and she wore a white top with a teal and gold bodice, along with a purple sarong and white petticoat, slightly enamored by her beauty Phoebus tossed some coins into the gypsy's hat, as he moved along, A Boy Gypsy whistled to the pair from above and quickly fled, Esmeralda gasped as a goat tried to get the money but ended up spilling it, Esmeralda tried to help gather it but was met by two guards, standing over her.
Brutish guard: Alright, Gypsy, where'd you get the money?
Esmeralda: For your information, I earned it.
Brutish: Guard: Gypsies don't earn money.
Oafish guard: They steal it.
Esmeralda: You'd know a lot about stealing.
The Brutish guard Grabbed the hat from her.
Brutish Guard: Troublemaker, huh?
He was met with a kick in the face, The Oafish Guard then Grabbed Her.
Oafish Guard: A few days in the stocks will cool you down.
Mac: Hey!
Guards: Huh?
Mac Cocked a gun and aimed at the two guards.
Mac: Let the lady go asswipes!
Dipper: Mac, What are you doing?!
Brutish: Stay out of this, peasants! This is a matter of the…
The goat, Dijali then Headbutts Oafish and kicked Brutish in the gut.
Mac: Holy-
Mac was so surprised, He accidentally fired his gun, and it barely missed the brutish guard.
Oafish: Hey! That was assault!
Mac: W-Wait, it was an accident!
The Brutish guard then pulled out a radio.
Dib: Wait, Those don't belong in the 15th century!
Brutish Guard: Code red! Code red! Armed hostiles in our sector!
Vana: Shit!
Dipper: Run!
He and Dib ran off one way, while Mac and Vana went another, Esmeralda and Djali followed suit in the confusion, passing by Phoebus.
Brutish: Get back here, gypsy!
Phoebus pulled his horse in front of the two men causing Brutish to fall in a mud puddle.
Phoebus: Achilles, sit.
The horse, Achilles, sat on Brutish's head, causing people to laugh in the background.
Phoebus: Oh, Deer, I'm sorry! Naughty horse. Naughty. He's just impossible. Really, I can't bring him anywhere.
Brutish: Get this thing off me!
The Oafish guard then pulled out a dagger.
Oafish: I'll teach you a lesson. Peasant!
Phoebus drew out his sword in response.
Phoebus: You were saying, Lieutenant?
Oafish: Oh, Uh, C-C-C-Captain!
The guard bonked himself before saluting.
Oafish Guard: At your service, Sir!
As the Brutish guard regained consciousness, A Blade cut though the right side of his mustache get shaven.
Phoebus: I know you have a lot on your mind right now, but… the Palace of Justice?
Meanwhile,
Dipper and Dib hurried down the street as fast as they could.
Dib: Where did that guy get a radio?
Dipper: I don't know, plot convenience!
Both of them Bumped into something or someone in front of them, It was a man of the same attire as the other two gerd, But without a helmet and wore a black cloak, His name was Lieutenant Roshere, a soldier in service to Judge Claude Frollo.
Roshere: Lost your way?
Dipper: Uhh, No…
Before Dipper could form the rest of his sentence, other guards started appearing all around them.
Dib: Just passing through.
Roshere: Are you? I just got word that two of my rank equals were attacked by peasants. You wouldn't happen to anything about that, would you, boys?
Dipper: No…
Roshere: Hmm… Well, I know someone we could ask.
At his word, The Guards Surrounded the two boys.
Meanwhile,
Mark: You lost them?! How?
Mac: We were trying to help this gypsy see. She was getting manhandled by some guys.
Vana: Then they called in backup, so we ran.
Mark: Oh god, I knew this would happen.
Jack: Told you it was a bad idea.
Mark: Where are they now?
Vana: We don't know. You don't think they…
Mark: We better hurry and find them.
Sokka: Where do we start looking?
Mark: I think I know.
Meanwhile, at the Palace of Justice.
Phoebus entered a room just as he heard the sound of a whip being cracked.
Frollo: Stop.
Torturer: Sir?
Frollo: Ease up; wait between lashes! Otherwise, the old skin will fall into the new.
Torturer: Yes, Sir.
The Torturer returned to his duties as Judge Claude Frollo turned to great his latest acquisition, Claude Frollo was an old man, with a wrinkled care worn face, dressed in a black and purple robe, as befitting his position as Minister of Justice, adorned with a purple and black striped tricorn hat with a red tassel attached to the bottom, and black shoulder pads with red stripes, and to top if all off, He also wore three rings on his fingers, two on the right and one on the left, with the jewels colored blue, red, and green.
Frollo: Ah, So this is the gallant Captain Phoebus, home from the frontlines.
Phoebus: Reporting for duty, As was requested, Minister.
Frollo: Your service record precedes you, Captain. I expect nothing but the best from a war hero of your caliber.
Phoebus: And you shall have it, Sir. I guarantee it.
Frollo: Yes, You know my last Captain of the Guard proved to be, um… a bit of a disappointment to me?
A loud scream was heard, down the hall, giving Frollo a knowing smirk.
Frollo: Well, no matter, I'm sure well… whip my men into shape.
Phoebus: Of course, Sir.
Outside on a nearby balcony.
Frollo: You've come to Paris in her darkest hour, Captain. It will take a firm hand to keep the weak-minded from being easily misled.
Phoebus: Misled, Sir?
Frollo: Take a look, Captain, tell me what you see.
Phoebus: Some other poor excuse for a political joke because the guy writing this is a South Park fan?
Frollo: Yes… Wait what?!
Frollo Looked down to see what Phoebus had said.
Frollo: Uh… Wow, but that's not what I'm showing you; look down there!
Phoebus looked down to see another group of Gypsies, like the ones before.
Phoebus: Gypsies?
Frollo: Gypsies, The Gypsies live outside the normal order. Their heathen ways inflame the people's lowest instincts, and they must be stopped.
Phoebus: I was summoned from the frontlines to capture fortune tellers and palm readers?
Frollo: Yes, well, Villains may be fighting each other, but the villains around here, Captain, are what you see before you. For the last twenty years of my term as lord Protector of Paris, I've been taking care of the Gypsies (Crushing three Ants.) One by one
Frollo illustrated his point by stamping his fingers on three ants on the cobblestone guardrail on the site.
Frollo: And yet for all my success, they have thrived, Clues and rumors have led me to believe they have a safe haven within the walls of this very city, a nest, if you will. They call it the Court of Miracles.
Phoebus: What are we going to do about Sir?
Frollo: Well, Captain.
He picked up a stone tablet to reveal several bugs underneath.
Frollo: Pretend they're Gypsies.
He violently slammed the tablet back down on the insects, crushing them.
Phoebus: You make a vivid point, Sir.
Just then, A man named Ruber appeared. He was a brutal looking man, with fair greenish skin, reddish orange hair, Green eyes and jagged teeth.
Ruber: Judge Frollo, Lieutenant Roshere has returned with prisoners.
Meanwhile,
Dipper and Dib were held by guards, unsure what to do, while their captor, Lieutenant Roshere, looked particularly pleased with himself. It was at that moment, when Judge Frollo came in, followed by Phoebus and Ruber.
Frollo: Lieutenant Roshere, What is this?
Roshere: Judge Frollo, my lord, I picked up these troublemakers in the east side of the village.
Frollo examined the boys closely, his lip curling with disdain.
Frollo: Such disgusting attire. Where did you find them?
Roshere: They bumped into me when I was answering a code red from Lieutenants John and Howard.
The Bruitish guard was John, who proceeded to speak next.
John: There were two others with them. The bigger one had a gun.
Phoebus: Hmm, Sir I've seen those two before. They didn't seem like trouble.
Roshere: And you would how, Sir?
Frollo: A little respect would be advised when addressing our new Captain of the guard, Lieutenant.
Roshere was shocked at this, But whatever he would voice next, Frollo seemed to ignore it as he turned to Dipper and Dib.
Frollo: As for you two. Where did you come from?
Dipper: We uh… Uh…
Dib: We just came to town.
Frollo: Where from?
Dipper whispered to Dib.
Dipper: What are we supposed to say?
Dib: I don't know
Frollo: I'll repeat myself again. Where Are You From?
Dipper: … Uh.
A knock on the door was then heard.
Guard: Uh, Sir, there's someone here to see you?
Frollo: Not now. I'm interrogating these gypsies.
Dipper and Dib: What?
Guard: But Sir, it's rather important.
Frollo: How Important?
Later
Mark and the rest of the team sat waiting outside the room, when a guard came in.
Guard: Judge Frollo will see you now.
Mark: I'll go.
Aang: By yourself?
Mark: It'll be alright. I just have a few words with the judge, get the boys, and we can be on our way.
Jack: That won't happen. You know the kind of man he is.
Mark: He wouldn't try anything with us unless he…
Sokka: Hey, Just a question, Who even is this guy?
Mark: Well...
Guard: Sir.
Mark: I'll explain later.
And with that, Mark went into the room first.
Mark entered the room and found himself face to face with Judge Frollo Himself; with him were Phoebus, Ruber, and Roshere.
Frollo: Ah, So this is Lieutenant Mark. I've heard you were in town.
Mark: Word travels fast around here, I take it.
Frollo: Yes… Now you want to see me, I take it.
Mark: As a matter of fact, Yes, I believe there has been an incident of some sort.
Frollo: Incident? Ah, yes, the trouble between my Lieutenants and your boys. They are yours, aren't they?
Mark: They are; where are they?
Frollo: One moment.
He then Picks up the phone on his desk.
Frollo: Bring them in.
As he muted it, A door on the right opened up, Dipper and Dib were marched through it by Lieutenants John and Howard.
Dipper: Uncle Mark!
Dib: Sir, I know what you're thinking…
Mark: Say no more, either of you. I'll Handle this.
Frollo: Now you see, These boys were arrested for, from what I've been told, "Getting in the way of Justice." and attacking two of my lieutenants.
Dipper: They were terrorizing people, Mac got involved-
John: Cock your lungs, Boy.
Dib: You gonna make us?
Frollo: Now, now, let's not resort to any more violence. I was told there were two others with you, A girl and a black man. Do you happen to know them?
Mark cast an uneasy look back at the door behind them.
Mark: Well Uhh…
Outside, the others listened to the conversation on the other side of the door.
Mark's Voice: I… I may or may not.
Mac: Oh, Crap…
Vana made a silent prayer to god as they went in.
Jack: He's gonna crack. I just know it.
Moments Later.
Before they knew it, the rest of the team was in the room, With guards behind them.
Jack: Told ya.
Frollo: So, Lieutenant, Do you know this rabble?
Mark: Ahem, Yes, They are my team.
Frollo: And what a unit this is. I didn't think foxes were counted among the ranks of such a brave and valiant order.
Jack Scowled.
Frollo: And I can overlook that. I, myself, have employed the occasional stoat from time to time,
As if on cue, a stoat secretary appeared in the room.
Stoat: Judge Frollo, I have the paperwork you wanted.
Frollo: Take it to my chambers.
Stoat: Yes, Sir.
And it promptly left the room.
Frollo: And look at this, A black man and a girl, Isn't it?
Mac: What the hell is that supposed to mean!?
John: Yep, that's him.
Howard: And that's the girl too
He quickly reached to grab at Vana's arm.
Vana: Hey, Let go!
She Struggled to get free to get free of his grip and kicked him in the shin.
Phoebus: That's enough, Lieutenant!
Reluctantly, Howard let go of Vana, who rubbed her wrist.
Vana: Yeah, You better…
Mark: So uh, Yes, Um, I take it they're the ones you're looking for.
Frollo's only reply was a stern look.
Mac: Sirs, please, it was a simple altercation, I swear. I meant no harm.
Mark: Yes, Yes, A terrible mistake. I assure you, It was not intentional.
Frollo: Not intentional, you say? I find that… understandable.
Mark: Really?
Frollo: Of course, I do not blame your men. It's not easy for one to tell a true citizen apart from gypsies.
Mac: Oh, thank… wait what?
Before Frollo can say anything else, cheering and trumpets could be heard.
Frollo: Oh, duty calls. Why don't we settle this matter after the feast? You're all welcome to come.
The Team looked at each other in astonishment.
Mark: What? Really?
Frollo: Of course, Unless you…
But before Frollo could finish, they were already gone.
Frollo: Hmm, Aren't they an eager bunch. Have you ever attended a peasant festival, Captain?
Phoebus: Not recently, Sir.
Frollo: Then this should be quite an education for you. Come along, men.
Meanwhile, At Notre Dame itself.
The stooped figure of a hooded hunchback climbed down a statue to see the whole festival of fools beginning, A group of robed people leading the procession in a great song.
COME ONE! COME ALL!
Leave your looms and milking stools. Coop the hens and pen the mules.
COME ONE! COME ALL!
Close the churches and the schools. It's the day for breaking rules.
Come and join the feast… of…
Clopin: Foooools!
At last, A lanky looking man slid out from the Robed people, dressed in colorful garb of purple blue and yellow, A fuchsia mask with yellow trim and a feathered hat, complete with a short cloak with jingling bells, This was Clopin Trouillefou.
Once a year, we throw a party here in town,
Once a year, we turn all Paris upside down!
Every man's a king, and every kings a clown!
Once again, it's topsy turvy day!
It's a day the devil in us gets released!
It's a day we mock the prig and shock the priest!
Everything is topsy turvy at the feast of fools!
TOPSY TURVY!
Clopin: Everything is Upsy daisy!
TOPSY TURVY!
Clopin: Everyone is acting Crazy!
Dross is gold, and Weed is bouquet.
All because it's topsy turvy day!
As the celebrations took full swing, the team arrived at the festival. The moment they set eyes on it, all of them except Mark and Dipper scattered about, taking part in the festivities wherever they could, Sokka in particular made his way to a food Stand.
Sokka: FOOD!
He Began eating immediately.
Katara: Really?
She looked at Aang, Who simply shrugged as he performed a simple air gust for some kids, while this happened, Jack saw a guy in a fox costume.
Jack: Excuse me, Sir, can I kill you?
Mac, Dib and Vana stopped to watch a puppet show about a mouse and a rabbit getting into a pretend fight over cheese and carrots.
Dib: Ha! I have no idea what's going on! But this is hilarious!
And he Laughed along with Mac, Vana, and the other spectators.
Mark: Well, They're enjoying themselves.
Dipper: Yeah, For now.
Mark knelt down to Dipper's height.
Mark: Chin up, We'll find a way out of this.
Dipper: I just don't get it, though. What's his problem with Gypsies?
Mark: Well-
Clopin: COME ONE! COME ALL!
Hurry! Hurry! Here's your chance
See the mystery and Romance!
COME ONE! COME ALL!
SEE THE FINEST GIRL IN FRANCE
MAKE AN ENTRANCE TO ENTRANCE
DANCE LA ESMERALDA...DANCE!
On the last word, Clopin disappeared in a puff of smoke, and Esmeralda
appears in his place, dressed in a red and purple dress, She proceeds to perform a sultry dance.
Frollo: Look at that disgusting display.
Phoebus: Yes, Sir.
She continued to dance. She pulled out a handkerchief, made her way to Frollo, and wrapped it around Frollo's head playfully, using it to pull him closer. She moved in to kiss him but jumps away at the last moment. Frollo yanks the handkerchief off his head, The Audience laughed at this.
Mac: Ha, Ha, Ha! Hey… Ain't that…?
Mark then walked up to Phoebus.
Mark: Quite a site.
Phoebus: Huh? Oh Her? Well, I suppose she's nice.
Mark: You know what she is right. You know He wouldn't like it if one of his own…
Phoebus: Well, I don't know If I like her Like her enough for… We've met before, you know.
Mark: You and…
Phoebus: Us I mean.
Mark: Really?
Phoebus: The Sacking of Sherwood?
Mark: You mean that battle between Verdauga Greeneyes Forces and the combined Strength of England, France, and the Freedom Watch? Yeah, I remember.
Phoebus: You mean Medieval France and England, Right?
Mark: Yeah, right, what I said. You were slashing your way through Weasels and Stoats and facing the Captain of the Guards. While I just sat around shooting things.
Phoebus: Remember Robin Hood? Shooting Arrows from the trees, trying to hit Green Eyes?
Mark: Heck yeah.
Clopin: And now, ladies and gentlemen, the piece de resistance!
HERE IT IS, THE MOMENT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
HERE IT IS. YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S IN STORE!
NOW'S THE TIME WE LAUGH UNTIL OUR SIDES GET SORE!
NOW'S THE TIME WE CROWN THE KING OF FOOLS!
Db: The what Now?
Clopin: You all remember last year's king?
The apparent Last year's king, was revealed to be a drunken fat man with a false crown, who was carried on the shoulders of the crowd, and belched
loudly.
SO MAKE A FACE THAT'S HORRIBLE AND FRIGHTENING
MAKE A FACE AS GRUESOME AS A GARGOYLE'S WING
FOR THE FACE THAT'S UGLIEST WILL BE THE KING OF FOOLS!
WHY?
Crowd: TOPSY TURVY!
Clopin: Ugly folks, forget your shyness!
Crowd: TOPSY TURVY!
Clopin: You could soon be called your highness!
Crowd: Put Your foulest features on display, Be the King of Topsy Turvy Day!
Clopin then began pulling contestants onto the stage. Esmeralda pulls
Quasimodo to the stage. Esmeralda works her way down the line, ripping off masks and revealing the ugly faces underneath. Only for each face to turn out normal, thus the crowd boos, and the contestants get booted off stage by Djali. The festivities continue until Esmeralda reaches Quasi. She tried to pull Quasi's mask off but soon realized it wasn't a mask.
Dipper: What the?
Dib: What is…?
Man: That's no mask!
Woman: It's his Face!
Woman 2: It's actually hideous.
Aang: Who is he?
Man 2: The bellringer From Notre Dame!
Katara: Bellringer?
Clopin noticed the oncoming commotion and tried to keep things festive.
Clopin: Ladies and Gentlemen, don't panic. We asked for the ugliest face in Paris, And here he is, Quasimodo! The HunchBack of Notre Dame!
And with that, He proceeded to crown Quasi.
Sokka: Ah, He said it! He said the title!
Katara: No he didn't.
Crowd: ONCE A YEAR, WE THROW A PARTY HERE IN TOWN
Clopin: HAIL TO THE KING!
Crowd: ONCE A YEAR, WE TURN ALL PARIS UPSIDE DOWN
Clopin: OH, WHAT A KING!

FOR THE CHANCE TO POP SOME POPINJAY
AND PICK A KING WHO'LL PUT THE TOP
IN TOPSY...TURVY...DAY (TOPSY TURVY)
(MAD AND CRAZY, UPSY-DAISY TOPSY TURVY DAY!)
The crowd erupted in chants "Quas-i-mod-o!" As they did, Dib thought he saw something. He turned his head and saw a large man in a black cloak sneak into a building.
Dib: Hey, who's that?
Vana: Who's what?
Dib Pointed to where he saw the Man.
Dib: There, I thought I saw someone.
Dipper: Probably just another partygoer. Nothing to…
Before Dipper could finish though, A great flash of orange light was seen, and out of it came a large roaring beast with wings!
Dipper: ...worry about.
The Crowd immediately began panicking.
Katara: What the heck is that thing!?
Man: It's the Great Animal!
The same man was then mauled by the same creature he spoke of.
Dipper: Oh My God!
Quasimodo: Oh screw this!
The Hunchback quickly jumped off stage and fled into the church.
Esmeralda: Everyone, just stay calm!
Frollo Watched her from his booth.
Frollo: Gypsy witch.
Roshere: Sir, Look out!
The Great Animal threw an animal at Frollo, who ducks just in time.
Frollo: Phoebus! Ruber! Roshere! Destroy that creature!
Phoebus motioned his men to attack, as they advanced, the Great Animal took to the sky.
Roshere: Archers!
The Guards Fired arrows at the animal, but it had little effect, In response, The ANimal Swooped down and attacked the guards, scattering, maiming, or killing any that got near it.
Soldier: Retreat! Everyone, AAAAGGGGHHHH!
He was then murdered by the animal.
The Team took cover behind some debris and watched in horror at the beast in action. At one point, it accidentally frees an old prisoner.
Old Prisoner: I'm free! I'm Free!
Well, at least he was until he tripped into a stockade and got locked in it.
Old Prisoner: Dang it.
Dipper: C'mon, we gotta help.
Sokka: Are you crazy?! That thing could tear us to bits!
Mark: He's right. We have to take shelter. The Cathedral will do.
Mac: But how do we get there?
Mark Looked at the Great Animal fighting Frollo's Forces, then shifted his gaze to an open path for them by the Chaos.
Mark: We'll have to sneak our way in, go around the back. Follow me.
The team made their way around the chaos surrounding the battle between the Great Animal and Frollo's Forces, As they reached the doors of the Cathedral, Dib saw Ruber, standing off to the side, not Doing anything.
Dib: What's he doing?
Vana: C'mon!
She grabbed him and took him inside as the doors closed
Once inside, the team tried to catch their breath.
Mark: Alright, everyone here?
Dipper: All accounted for. What was that thing?
Vana: I don't know, But I heard a peasant call it a… Great Animal…?
Mark and Jack both shared a look of concern.
Aang: So now what? We just… wait here or something?
Katara: What about Frollo?
Mark: Well, I think we could be safe here. This is a place of sanctuary, after all.
Sounds of the battle quickly started to die down.
Mark: What's going on out there?
Jack went to the door and opened it a little.
Jack: The Great Animal is leaving, look!
The team watched as the Great Animal flew away, escaping the carnage!
Phoebus: Sir, should we pursue?
Frollo: No, Find that Gypsy woman we saw, And those Freedom Watch Warriors too.
Jack Quickly closed the door.
Jack: Well, the good news is the Animal is gone. Bad news, Frollo's now looking for us.
Dib: You think he'll look here?
Mark: Hopefully not, Wait here; I'll go talk to the Archdeacon.
As he was about to go looking, the door was heard opening again.
Mac: Too late, hide!
The team splits up into various hiding places As Esmeralda and Djali snuck into the church, disguised as a beggar; unknown to her Phoebus secretly came in behind her. She turns around, throws him down, and takes his sword.
Esmeralda: You!
Phoebus: Easy! Easy, I just shaved this morning.
Esmeralda: Oh really? You missed a spot.
Phoebus: Alright, Alright, Just calm down. Just let me have a chance to apologize.
Esmeralda: For what?
Phoebus then tripped her.
Phoebus: That, for example.
Esmeralda: You sneaky son of a-
Phoebus: Ah, Ah, Ah, watch it- we're in a church.
Esmeralda Grabs a staff with candles on top.
Esmeralda: Are you always this charming, or am I just lucky?
She Then swung it at him.
Dipper: Holy!
Mark: Shhh.
Esmeralda continued to fight Phoebus with the staff.
Phoebus: Candlelight, privacy, music, can't think of a better place for hand-to-hand combat.
He quickly Blocked an attack.
Phoebus: You fight just as well as a man.
Katara: What?
Esmeralda: Funny, I was thinking the same thing about you.
Phoebus: That's hitting a little below the belt, Don't you think?
Esmeralda: No, This is.
She swung one end of the staff at Phoebus's crotch, He blocked it with his sword, and she hit him in the face with the other end of the staff.
Phoebus: Touche.
Djali then proceeded to Headbutt him in the stomach.
Phoebus: Didn't know you had a kid.
Esmeralda: Well, He doesn't take kindly to soldiers.
Phoebus: Er, I noticed. Permit me. Have you seen any uh, Freedom Watch members in here?
Esmeralda: Freedom Watch? You mean the weirdos that have been watching us.
The team all then emerged from their hiding places.
Mark: Oh c'mon, How did you know we were hiding here!?
Esmeralda: I could hear loud breathing coming from your gun happy friend over there.
Everyone looks in Mac'd direction.
Mac: Oh C'mon! I get nervous in tight spaces!
Phoebus: Well, You lot left in a hurry, didn't think that creature could frighten you.
Aang: What was that thing anyway?
Esmeralda: The Great Animal, No one knows where it came from or what it wants. It's been terrorizing Paris for months, killing and destroying anywhere it can.
Phoebus: Christ, That's big.
Mark: Has anyone tried to catch it?
Esmeralda: The people have been told to leave it to the authorities, And all they've achieved is scaring it away, for a time.
Vana: Well, It just crossed the wrong people this time.
Dib: Yeah, What she said.
Phoebus: Huh, Well, if I were any of you, I'd be more worried about Frollo; he's looking for you all right now.
Jack: We know. I overheard him.
Phoebus: Take my advice. Stay in here if you all wanna avoid his wrath, Especially you… Uh.
Esmeralda: Esmeralda.
Phoebus: Esmeralda, That's… nice, I'm Phoebus, It means, "Sun God."
Mark Looked on in amusement, While the rest of the team drew blanks.
Vana: Was… there something we don't know?
At that moment, Frollo appeared, Accompanied by three guards and Roshere.
Frollo: Good Work Captain, Now arrest them all.
Phoebus hastily whispered to the others.
Phoebus: Claim sanctuary.
Dipper: What?
Phoebus: Say it!
Mark: Alright, Alright, We claim-
Frollo: I'm waiting, Captain.
Phoebus: I'm sorry Sir, They claim sanctuary. There's nothing I can do.
Frollo: Than drag them all outside and-
Just then, The Archdeacon came in.
Archdeacon: Frollo! You will not touch any of them!
He then turned comfortingly to the team and Esmeralda.
Archdeacon: Don't worry yourselves, Minister Frollo learned long ago to respect the sanctity of this church.
Frollo gave a dark glower in response.
Frollo: You all may think you've outwitted me for now, But I'm a patient man, And neither Gypsies, Freedom Watchers or Air-Benders don't do well inside stone walls. Step one foot outside without escort, and I'll have your heads!
And with that, he left with his men, shutting the door behind him.)\
Sokka: Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Dipper went over to a door and opened it.
Soldier: Frollo's orders, Post a guard at every door.
Dipper then closed it.
Dipper: Guess not.
Mark: Damn it.
Katara: Just forget it; if Frollo thinks he can keep any of us in here, he's wrong.
Archdeacon: Don't act rashly, child. From what I hear, your friends had a run-in with Lieutenants John and Howard. It would be unwise to incur Frollo's Wrath further.
Mark: He's right. Claude Frollo is a dangerous man to cross.
Archdeacon: Yes, uh, well put.
Mark: Sir, If it's no trouble, Do you happen to have any form of long-range communication?
Archdeacon: What for?
Mark: We have to contact Caer Dathyl as soon as possible. Can you provide anything to help?
Archdeacon: Hmm, I'll see what I can do.
He Leads Mark with him somewhere else in the cathedral, As they left, Aang notices something.
Aang: No way…
He went over to it, Katara and Sokka noticed and followed him, leaving the others alone, Esmeralda took a closer look at Dipper, Dib, Mac and Vana.
Esmeralda: Hey uh, have I… I've seen you guys before, right?
Mac: Yeah, During our little run-in With Lieutenants John and Howard?
Esmeralda: Yes, I remember now! I never got to thank you.
Dib: Yeah Well, We just did what Freedom Watchers do, Don't even know what those guys' problem with Gypsies is, though.
Esmeralda: Judge Frollo has been hunting us for years, Ever since he took power here in France. We gypsies are guilty of nothing but loving our freedom. And Frollo despises what he cannot control, Or… something like that.
Vana: And let me guess, He also blames Gypsies for the Great Animal?
Esmeralda: Unfortunately, Yes, he has come to that belief…
Jack: That you summoned the thing to get back at him for his bullshit?
Esmeralda: Uhh… I guess?
Dipper: How do you know that for sure?
Jack: Don't you have the measure of Minister Frollo by now? He's a religious zealot obsessed with purging the world of evil. Sees corruption everywhere except himself.
Flashback.
Jack: Years ago, The King of this country gave aid to a people the catholic church considered heathens and an enemy. Frollo took advantage of this and led them into a coup against the King, and turned this whole country into a theocracy. With Frollo naming himself Lord Protector of France and, with the aid of others, made his bid in the H.V.D.V.N.D wars.
Flashback ends.
Vana: Jesus…
Dipper: Why hasn't the Freedom Watch done anything about it?
Jack: Well excuse me if we can't be everywhere at once. If we could, The Great Animal wouldn't be around and Gypsies wouldn't be blamed.
Esmeralda: Now just…
Dib: Maybe they're not. What if it's someone else?
Vana: Like who?
Dib: I'm not sure, But I think I have a suspicion. Did anyone notice Ruber?
Mac: He was among Frollo's troops, right.
Dib: Yeah, But when I looked, he was staying well out of the way. And he looked like… he knew something.
Jack: You think it's that lieutenant Ruber?
Dib: I don't know…
The team's attention is drawn away by shouting.
Parishioner: You! Bellringer! What are you doing down here?
Quasimodo was seen knocking over a candle staff and fled back up to the bell tower.
Parishioner: Haven't you caused enough trouble already?
Esmeralda: Wait!
Esmeralda immediately went after him, Dipper, Dab and Vana followed after a few moments of shock.
Jack: Where are you kids going?!
Quasi ran up the steps With Esmeralda behind him.
Esmeralda: I want to talk to you.
Quasimodo just kept running, While Esmeralda chased after him. Dipper Dib and Vana follow at a slow distance. Eventually, they made their way up to the bell tower, where the three looked around.
Dib: Quite a place.
Vana whistled.
Vana: Not bad for a… What? Old-timey church that has been here longer than anyone can remember?
Dipper: Where's Esmeralda, and that…
The three then heard voices above them. They move to see where they come from.
Esmeralda: And who's this?
Quasimodo: Big Marie.
Esmeralda went inside the bell and called out.
Esmeralda: Hello!
The Echos vibrated from the inside.
Quasimodo: She likes you, would you like to see more?
Dipper, Dib and Vana watched from the side.
Vana: Well, Guess they're doing fine.
Voice 1: Indisputably.
Voice 2: He's tough.
Voice 3: We may be made of Stone, But Quasi's made of stronger stuff.
Vana: Actually, I was referring to…
Upon realizing they were not alone, Dipper, Dib and Vana turned around and were shocked by what they saw. There standing behind them, were three talking, LIVING, Gargoyle statues!
Vana: What the?!
Dib: Whoah!
Dipper: Talking statues?!
Laverne: Excuse us for having a personality.
Dib: But… H-How…?
Hugo: Kid, don't question Disney.
Dipper: Uh, Hi there… I'm Dipper and this is… Dib and Vana…
Vana:... Hello…?
Victor: Pleasure to make your acquaintances, children. I'm Victor and these are Hugo and Laverne. What brings you to our humble abode?
Dib: We… came here with… Esmeralda… Or well…
Dipper: It's a long story.
Quasimodo: I've saved the best for last, C'mon.
The group then watched as Quasimodo and Esmeralda went up to the rooftop.
Vana: Does he live here?
Leverne: Yep.
Dipper: How long?
Victor: Since before he could walk.
Hugo: Breakfast, lunch and Dinner.
DIb: He never leaves?
Leverne: Oh, he's not allowed to. Minister Frollo forbids it.
Dib: How come?
Hugo: Long story short, Frollo thinks he's doing Quasi a favor by keeping folks from seeing that mug of his.
Leverne: After a lifetime of watching from the nosebleed seat, Quasi just wanted to go to the Feast of Fools, And we're so proud of him for working up the courage.
Victor: Tis a shame the Great Animal dashed his hopes.
Vana: Jesus… antisocial much?
Dipper: Maybe I should go talk to him myself.
And so, Dipper went to the rooftop. He found Esmeralda reading Quasi's Palm.
Esmeralda: I don't see any…
Quasimodo: Any what?
Esmeralda: Monster lines, Not a single one, Now you look at me. Do you think I'm evil?
Quasimodo: NO! No No, You are kind, and good, and-
Dipper: And a Gypsy?
Quasi was startled.
Quasimodo: Who are-?
Esmeralda: Easy, he's a friend of mine.
Dipper: Hi, I'm Dipper.
Quasimodo was started at first, but quickly composed himself.
Quasimodo: Uh, yes, hello, I'm-
Dipper: Quasimodo, Yeah, I know.
He turned to Esmeralda.
Dipper: You kinda left us behind.
Esmeralda: Sorry, I was sorta…
Dipper: It's alright. Dib and Vana are up here too. I don't know about the others.
Just than, Dib and Vana came up to the roof
Dipper: Dib, Go get the others. Tell them where we are.
Dib: Right.
Later.
Quasimodo: So you're going to Caer Dathyl?
Mark: Yes, you see, we kinda picked up a chaos emerald, and now we need to get back to there. I tried contacting them here, but unfortunately, communication seems to be blocked off.
Mac; That, And we're being chased by some bad guys.
Esmeralda: That doesn't sound good.
Vana: There's something else. Dib thinks the Great Animal is someone else's doing.
Dib: It's probably Ruber.
Quasimodo: Lieutenant Ruber? Are you sure?
Dib: I don't know, I may have to get some proof, But I can't do it from here.
Quasimodo: I could get you out.
All: What?
Katara: But there is no way out. There are soldiers at every door!
Quasimodo: We won't use a door.
Moments later.
Quasimodo, Mac, and Dib stopped on a slanted roof.
Mac: Can I begin to scream?
Dib: Why are you being such a-?
The tile they stood on then broke, and they slid down on it like a sled. They jump off the sled before it sails into the air and crashed
Guards: Check the ally! This way!
The Guards ran off to investigate, The three escapees then jumped down and hid on a statue.
Quasimodo: You go now. We'll wait for you.
Dib: Right.
And with that, Dib Disappeared into the night with Mac to find Ruber.
Later.
Dib and Mac wandered stealthily through the streets of Paris under the cover of darkness.
Dib: Anything?
Mac: Nothing ye- hide!
He pulled Dib to one side as a soldier with a torch passed by.
Dib: That was close.
Mac: Alright, All we need to do now is find Ruber, Follow him and if he-
Dib: There he is.
They then saw Ruber walking down the street, hiding himself in his cloak, in case anyone noticed him.
Dib: We have to follow him.
Mac nodded.
The two then followed Ruber to an Inn. They crept inside and hid under one of the tables as they saw Ruber talking to someone.
Ruber: I told you to go for him! It was the perfect moment to strike! He was in the open!
Rothbart: Well, excuse me if I had to avoid getting hit by arrows in that form. Do you know how hard it is to get within a 25-mile radius and not get injured?!
Ruber; Bah, I could give less of a damn, Even if it cost 50 bucks! My point is that we have been trying too long to turn popular opinion against Frollo. He just keeps blaming your little, "Great animal" trick on the Gypsies, And He himself believes it!
Rothbart: So what do you suggest we do now?
Ruber: Well, For now, we'll have to wait for another opportunity to strike, I'll make sure personally the location isn't too close-knit this time. Once we have Frollo in the open, you can make your move, And then, It will all be mine!
Dib quietly whispered to Mac.
Dib: What will be his?
Ruber: France will bow to me!
Mac: Oh, That makes sense.
Ruber: England, The United States, South Island, West side Island! The Great Tree of Ga'hoole! And then… THE WORLD!
Dib and Mac gasped in horror.
Rothbart: Oh I love it. We'll have the whole city in the palm of our hands, Hahahaha!
Still unseen, Mac and Dib attempt to sneak out while Rothbart and Ruber laugh, only for Dib to trip on a loose floorboard and fall.
Ruber: What the?!
Mac: RUN!
The two then made a break for it.
Ruber: Get after them!
As Dib and Mac ran out of the Inn and down the streets of Paris, Rothbart transformed into the Great Animal and gave chase.
Meanwhile
Katara: You think they should have been back by now?
Mark looked through his telescope until he saw them.
Mark: There they are!
Down below, Dib and Mac ran up to the Cathedral, quickly making sure to avoid the guards and tried to climb up the stone walls.
Aang: Looks like they need help.
At once, Aang managed to glide down to their level and airbended them back up to the Bell tower.
Esmeralda: What did you find?
Dib panted as he relayed his intel.
Dib: I was right… Ruber… He is behind this… Him and a guy named Rothbart.
Jack: Rothbart? Where have I…?
Suddenly, the Great Animal appears in the sky, breaking Jack's train of thought.
Mac: Did I mention it kinda followed us here?
Mark: Everyone run!
The Team flees from the bell tower.
Quasimodo: GO! GO! GO!
He quickly Closed the door behind them, just as the Great Animal landed on top and stalked towards the closed door.
Inside the bell tower, the group all rallied together and discussed their options.
Dipper: What do we do now?
Vana: Get out and tell Frollo?
Esmeralda: No! He wouldn't believe us. We should just get out of here while we still can.
Dib: How!?
Quasimodo: I'll help. I'll distract the beast while you all get down to the Cathedral. GO!
The Team and Esmeralda fled down the bell tower while Quasi gets a torch and goes out to face Rothbart.
Quasimodo: Hey! You!
The Great Animal turned to Quasi and snarled.
Meanwhile,
The Team and Esmeralda hurry down to the Cathedral and made their way to the nearest doors.
Mark: Check the doors!
Sokka went to open a door, only to be knocked aside by soldiers, who quickly charged up to the bell tower.
Soldier 1: It's attacking.
Soldier 2: Hurry to the belltower!
The Guards made their way up the bell tower, leaving the doors unguarded.
Mark: Now's our chance! Go!
The Team proceed to flee to the outside of the Cathedral and hid in an alley, While overhead, they see the Great Animal flee.
Dipper: I wonder if Quasi's Okay.
Vana: He'll be fine, I hope.
Mark: Well Esmeralda, This is where we part ways.
Esmeralda: Until we meet again, my friends.
And with that, Esmeralda Disappeared into an alleyway with Djali.
Mac: So, where to now?
Dipper: Frollo should know about Ruber and Rothbart. We should go to him and clear the Gypsies.
Mark: No, Dipper, He wouldn't believe us, After everything that's happened. Besides, Ruber's scheming is not really any problem of ours. Let's just leave Frollo to his own tangled web.
Vana: Right, But where do we go from here?
Aang: I think I know somewhere else we could go. C'mon, Let's get out of this city.
Suddenly, Roshere appeared out of nowhere!
Roshere: Not So Fast!
Jack: Soldiers!
Mark: Everyone run!
The Team then made another break for it and tried to reach the entrance to the City, narrowly avoiding Roshere and his men as they went.
Dipper: This way!
Katara: We're almost there.
She quickly ducked as an Arrow nearly got her. As they neared the gates suddenly closed to them and trapped them all. They all looked back and found themselves confronted by Frollo, Phoebus, Ruber, Roshere, and several men, all armed with spears, swords, bows and arrows.
Frollo: I told you what would happen if you stepped outside. Now you will face justice of the highest order!
Mark: You wouldn't know justice if it bit you in the rear end, Frollo. You've no right to be called a human being!
Frollo: Enough! You and your subordinates will answer for your transgressions. No!
Mark: And Gwydion?
Frollo: What of him?
Mark: What do you think he'll say when he finds out you've murdered members of the Freedom Watch over a petty skirmish that was technically an accident? Hmm? Would you be willing to risk any repercussions from that?
Frollo and Mark glowered at each other as their groups prepared for a fight. After a few intense moments though, Frollo raised his hand, and his troops withdrew their weapons.
Mark: Well… Guess we're on our way…
He then pointed to the east side of the city.
Mark: The Great Animal went there, by the way. Happy Hunting!
(Insert Rains of Castamere playing in the background.)
The Team then walked out of town to find Appa, As Frollo glared after them.
End.
Hey Guys, Sorry for taking this long. This was a pretty big chapter to write, especially since it's loosely adapted from a Disney movie. I might have to change the categories, probably. Also, I based the ending on the Game of Thrones episode, the Bear and the Maiden fair. If you haven't seen it, or Game of Thrones, I suggest you watch it. Next time on Crossover Legends, our Heroes head to the City of Omashu, where Aang meets an old friend.
Till next time. ;)

Edit: I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. It's not one of my favorites, due to how long I made it, and How I kinda made Mark a bit cowardly, But Frollo is a dangerous man and they were on his turf, So I thought it would make sense for him to be nervous around him. But it does debut a few key characters in this Scene, Most of the Characters here are from the Hunchback of Notre Dame by disney.
