Episode I (1): Beginnings

December 10, 2012, Los Angeles, California 6:55 am

A 16-year-old boy with short jet-black hair that spiked downwards to the nape of his neck and hazel eyes woke up with a shock. As gasps of fear were coming out of his small slender body.

He began to look around his clean and organized room to hear his alarm clock going off.

Natius realized that he was back at the Grimhilde estate, the home he and his parents owned on the edge of town. He immediately sighed with relief. He quickly got of bed and changed into his crimson short sleeve shirt, black jeans, and black boot-like shoes. Natius sighed, as grabbed the side of his head. "I have been having this dream every night since I was a kid?" he muttered. "Why?"

"Hey, Natius!"

He looked down and he noticed two teenagers were waiting outside for him. One was a girl around his age. She had curly dusty blonde hair that cascaded to her waist and emerald-green eyes. She was garbed in a green t-shirt, beige pants and brown low-heeled shoes. Her name was Bianca Rider-Rosamund.

Bianca yelled, "Hey! Rodent boy, we're going to be late for first period."

The other teen was a well-built dark skinned 16-year-old boy with wavy black hair and brown eyes. He was garbed in a navy-blue shirt, dark blue jeans, and red and black sneakers, his name was Alexander Clemens, but he was called Zander by everyone else.

Zander was getting annoyed with Natius being late, "Takahashi, stop playing around with your rodent collection and get some lead out!"

Natius came down the stairs in a careful manner and he walked out of the door, taking his backpack unaware that his small dwarf hamster had snuck into his backpack.

"Where are you going Natius?" asked a woman's voice.

The woman was in her early forties. She had ebony black hair that was wavy and reached to her shoulders and blue eyes. She was wearing a green dress that looked as if it was from the 1930s, it was his mother, Ariana Takahashi.

Natius answered, "I'm going to be late for school, mom. So, I have to go."

The woman replied, "All right sweetie, but you better not cause any more trouble this time."

Natius answered back, "I won't."

He walked out to join his friends to head over to their school.

At the campus...

Natius and his two friends were outside of the grassy fields of an old public high school known as the Roy O. Disney High School. It was named after Roy Oliver Disney. Walt Disney's older brother. It had a laid back, but reasonable dress code for their property.

A 16-year-old young girl who had strawberry blonde hair that was neatly arranged that went down to her shoulders and blue-green eyes. She was dressed in a simple light dress shirt and black shorts that extended to her knees and black walking shoes. She was walking over to the school rolling with her, a light blue backpack that had a glass slipper. Her name was Jeanette Mariah Cendrillon.

She asked, "Am I late?"

Natius answered, "No you're not late yet. Glass Maid."

The girl snapped with annoyance, "I said it before Natius, my name is Jeanette. Stop calling me glass maid, it's becoming childish and pathetic."

Bianca cried, "Jean! How've you been?"

Jeanette answered as they proceeded to walk in the doors of the school while she opened the door, "My older brother Chad got into a fight with my mom again! Granny Ilene is threatening to press charges against him and kick him out. I'm about to lose my patience with him! To be honest, I don't know what to do with his attitude."

Zander asked, "Have you tried anger management classes?"

Jeanette answered as she opened the door, "No. My mom and dad don't trust the anger management facilities."

Hallways...

Bianca was trying to get to class, but she felt herself tripping and she was met with the eyes of a sixteen-year-old boy with brown hair and green eyes. He was dressed in a black T-shirt and jeans. He went by the name of Brandon Kyle.

Brandon was known in his school for his disrespectful behavior, he would often skip class and he had gotten into trouble for carving on a teacher's desk.

He said, "Hey Bia. Remember the date?"

Bianca retorted, "No. Stop trying to force your romance on me! It's bad enough when you picked on Natius for being with me and now you're here to force some stupid relationship that's not going to work. I'm not just some damsel in distress that needs rescuing."

Brandon retorted, "You mean the pyromaniac! You're in love with him?"

Bianca replied, "No. I mean granted Natius can be a fire starter, but he has a sense of kindness from his ancestors. You on the other hand need to pull your head out of your ass before you end up in a position where no one would save your life."

Natius was walking down the hall with his letter noticing Brandon "What are you doing here? I thought you got in-school and after-school detention for that vandalism last week when you carved Mr. Virgil's desk."

Brandon snapped, "Butt out nerd! It doesn't concern you!"

Natius retorted, "You're going to get into even more trouble if you don't leave Bianca alone. She can file a lawsuit against you and don't be surprised if it's a member of the Cendrillon family."

Brandon taunted, "The pyromaniac is in love with a flower girl."

Natius was about to hit Brandon, but Bianca intervened and stated, "If you attack, you both will get detention."

Natius lowered his hand, and he stated to Brandon "I hope you get some help with your attitude and take responsibility for your bull."

Brandon retorted walking out, "That's hypocritical for a pyromaniac."

Natius snarled as he was held back from striking the young man by Zander, "I'll kick your ass if you try to hit on Bianca again!"

Zander was getting irritated with the boy's anger issues as he released Natius.

Zander scolded, "I must say, I'm very disappointed in you. Taking your anger out on Brandon over what happened two years ago will make things worse. Let's go."

Natius cried, "He started it by trying to hit on Bianca."

Zander retorted, "If you had punched him in the face, you would be in detention! Now come on!"

The boys walked into the classroom.

As the English teacher was lecturing about some literature, Natius began to hear a chewing noise in his backpack as he unzipped the pouch and to his surprise, he found a small white dwarf hamster with red eyes chewing on some papers.

Natius cried, "What are you doing here Yuki? I'm going to get detention for this!"

The hamster started to scurry outside Natius's backpack as he screamed, "Yuki! Zander, help me catch her! "

Zander grabbed an empty container as he sprinted to catch up with the runaway hamster and stopped Yuki from entering a mouse hole in the wall as he gently placed the hamster in the container.

Zander looked at Natius in disappointment and as he started carving holes on the container holes for the hamster to breathe, "You need to keep a close watch on that little hamster. She could've been eaten by the feral cats or rattlesnakes out in the Los Angeles area."

The teacher stated bluntly, "You've just earned yourself detention young Takahashi. I would've thrown that disgusting rodent into the streets and let the feral cats have their way with it. Rattlesnakes have a reputation for eating rodents."

Natius retorted, "Yuki is a female snow-white dwarf hamster, her name is derived from the Japanese word for Snow. I have a feeling that my younger sister Anna-Marie let her out of her tank again!"

After School

Zander was with Natius's friends as they waited out of the school.

Bianca asked, "Where's Natius at?"

Zander answered, "He should be here in 3...2..."

Natius caught up as he ran, "Sorry for being late. I had after school detention because my hamster escaped and was eating my binders, I had to have my mother pick up her up. Before leaving the school, she told me that she'll have a discussion about why my hamster got me in detention. I hope that she won't punish me for bringing a pet to the school."

A voice yelled, "Again?!"

The figure was a young man who was 15 years old. He had a fair tan which reflected on the fact that he was Egyptian American. He had dark brown hair that almost looked black and blue eyes. He was wearing a black t-shirt that had an upside-down pyramid with an Anubis eye on the center, black jeans and white and black sneakers. His name was Mahad Nasir. He was carrying a miniature boom box playing Rob Zombie's Living Dead Girl in full blast.

Mahad stated, "Natius, this is the third time this week! I should have given you the code name Flame Swordsman. Better yet Bakura because you look just like him only with shorter black hair."

Zander laughed, "That's pretty damn accurate."

Natius stated, "At least I'm not descended from a thief like Mahad."

Mahad asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Natius replied, "I'm going to investigate that urban legend about the forest. My maternal grandfather gloated about a shrine in the Redwood Forest."

Bianca asked, "Are you serious?"

Zander retorted, "We could end up getting into a lot of trouble."

Jeanette smiled, "Hell yeah. That'll get me a day off from my brother."

A voice stated, "If you ask me it's better than the same old boring schedules."

They turned to see the owner of the voice was a girl who was short for her age of nineteen years old.

She had straight dark brown hair that was braided to her waist and brownish green eyes framed with thin wired round eyeglasses. She was wearing a dark purple medium length sleeved shirt, dark green cargo pants, and white sneakers.

The girl was walking with her dog on a leash that was around the girl's wrists. The dog was a Cairn Terrier/Lhasa Apso mix that had bushy brown and white fur and floppy ears wearing a camouflage collar with an emerald-green nametag. The girl was carrying a huge blue book.

She flipped a page and saw a double-edged long sword with an hourglass and four scimitars as spindles she muttered, "That's strange; I don't recall any sword with an hourglass embedded upon it in any Disney animated film or the live-action films."

She felt herself being tugged by her dog and her book fell out of her hands and she tugged her dog's leash in hopes to restrain the little dog, but it started to run after a mouselike creature as it shook its head off the collar.

The girl started rushing after the dog unaware she was running into the Redwood Forest crying, "Wizard!"

Zander cried, "Hey! Wait!"

Bianca asked, "What do we do? She might get attacked by a bear or something."

Jeanette pointed out, "Plus there are insane folks out there that could do all sorts of crap."

Natius stated, "We follow her. Maybe she might know something about the urban legend."

Bianca saw the girl's book and she picked it up and noticed it was a huge dark blue book with a golden insignia of three circles with two on top of the bigger circle as making a silhouette of Mickey Mouse on the back of the book.

The girl began to catch up to her dog and she placed the dog's collar back on and she snapped, "That was a bad Wizard! You don't ever run off like that!"

She noticed a huge shrine like place and just as she was about to turn around, she was stopped by a voice who cried, "Hey, are you okay?"

She turned to see the quartet that she passed by moments earlier and she stated, "Sorry for having you guys come all this way."

Natius stated, "I'm the one who suggested to follow you."

The girl realized the book, and she asked, "You're that Disney nerd?"

Danyal examined the book and shrugged to the girl look pretty interested in the book.

Danyal answered, "I've been a Disney fan for years." He smiled and stretched his hand to let her have the book. "Why do you ask, uh? Do you want the-?"

The girl instinctively pushed the book back to him. Danyal was shocked. However, the girl looked down and away. Before Danyal or anyone could ask if she was okay. The girl quickly looked with an apologetic face. "I'm sorry, but I can't," she said simply, "Oh, my name is Bianca Rider-Rosamund I'm sorry about that. It's just that when I saw the title Disney, I was feeling... concerned."

Danyal asked, "Why?"

Bianca looked down again, looking no one in the eye. "Well, it's my mom, ever since that infamous lady was plastered on the screen, she felt betrayed by the same company that brought us the classics."

Danyal responded, "I suspect that your mother is a fan of Disney during their time of glory. I would recommend the movie Tangled. It's so funny. From what I've heard you have a similar "

Mahad asked, "Are we going to check out the shrine or what?!"

Zander stated, "I say we really explore this place before it gets too dark. I'd rather not face getting grounded. I also have to make sure my assignments are turned in."

Danyal asked, "Why?"

Zander answered, "Because my family believes in hard work. My great granny would tell my mom to work hard for your goals. What brings you here? Running away with your little dog?"

Danyal stated, "No. I was hoping to find out why I keep having dreams about being in another world and I have a feeling that I might find the answer."

Bianca stated, "You know my mom would always tell me if you dream things more than once, it would be more than likely to come true. "

Danyal retorted, "I'm not so sure, it's just that I'm trying to keep myself in reality."

Bianca asked, "What's so great about reality? It sucks."

Danyal pointed out, "But we need to live with it. Then again..."

Danyal started to see as her eyes widened at the sight of a girl with brown hair in braided pigtails, she was the same height as her, yet she had doe brown eyes clad in a gingham blue and white checked dress. She was looking at her as if urging her to come inside the shrine.

Danyal asked, "What? Did I just-?"

The four others looked at her like she was crazy as they saw no one there.

Bianca asked, "Are you OK there Danyal?"

"Yes. I'm fine." Danyal lied.

Bianca said as she noticed the girl paler, "Are you sure? You look like you saw a ghost or something."

Danyal retorted, "I'm perfectly fine."

Natius stated, "Let's just investigate this shrine and get it over with. Zander can you please keep watch for the sunset?"

Zander stated, "Right behind you Quinn Mallory."

Natius rolled his eyes in annoyance.

The quartet with Danyal's dog entered the hallowed building and she looked in surprise to see the light shining to the center showing a silhouette of Mickey Mouse and she took out a camera and started to take pictures and she muttered, "This will be my wallpaper."

Danyal looked in surprise at the statue of a bird wreathed in fire and she began to take pictures of the statue in hopes that she'd analyze what type of bird the statue was depicting.

She noticed a shining red glow and she picked up a small red gem and smiled, "Looks like I found something."

She placed it into her pocket.

Bianca started to hear a humming sound as if it was beckoning her to follow it.

Zander noticed the sun going down and he said, "Let's go home."

"Wait!" cried a voice.

Just as the teens were about to leave, a loud voice yelled, "Please wait! I need you to open the door please! I can't die yet."

They tuned to see a man who was 49 years old. He had tan skin and was well-built for his age due to his experience in the military in his youth, but had short black hair, but his eyes were hidden by the sunglasses on his face, but he was limping towards them.

He cried clutching onto his stomach as if he had been shot, "Please I beg you to open the door so I can see if the stories about this shrine are true!"

Natius recognized the man as his teacher from his third period class!

He cried in a concerned tone, "Mr. Virgil, what happened to you?"

Mr. Virgil begged, "This isn't a time for questions, open the door."

Bianca asked, "What door?"

The man pointed to a door that depicted a mouse-like figure shining in sunlight whereas a rabbit was watching vigilantly under the moon.

Danyal asked, "How are we to open the door?"

The man answered, "You Takahashi need to play a small hint of your ancestors' song."

Mahad asked, "What do you mean, Mr. Virgil?"

Mr. Virgil replied, "Ignatius Takahashi's family on his mother's side have passed down a small song for generations. The song is from a girl who befriended seven mining dwarfs."

Natius took out a red ocarina and he stated, "It may not be the best, but I can try it out."

Natius closed his eyes and feeling as if he was in trance, he started playing a small tune.

Suddenly the statue of the bird caught fire as if it came to life and it blasted the door open and afterward the statue disappeared.

Within the door was a statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse by his side.

The man smiled as he took off the sunglasses revealing burning red eyes, "Well done."

The statue started to rumble away from a huge gaping hole!

Natius's eyes widened in horror as he noticed that his teacher had burning red eyes.

Natius asked his voice being full of fear, "What the hell happened to you, Mr. Virgil?! Why are your eyes red as blood?"

The man replied, "I would like to thank you for finally weakening the barrier."

Natius asked, "What barrier?"

Zander cried as he noticed the hole beneath the statue were beginning to form wind, "We need to leave now!"

Suddenly winds started to howl and blowing powerful gusts coming from the hole that was at the feet of the Walt Disney statue as if sucking in those who have entered the sacred ground.

Jeanette stared in horror and shock as she began to see what was happening in front of her. She screamed in terror as she felt powerful winds sucking her deeper into the temple leading to the hole and she grabbed the edges.

She shrieked, "Help!"

Natius noticed Jeanette at the hole, and he dashed over to the hole, but when he got to her, Jeanette's fingers slipped as she fell screaming in terror.

Danyal grabbed her dog, and her braided hair came unraveled, and it started to get disheveled much to her annoyance, but she looked at the dying old man and her eyes widened in horror at the sight of him standing removing make up as if he was feigning his death.

The man threw a pellet down towards Danyal shattering on the marble hard floor and it unleashed a fume that contained a mist that had a soothing smell forcing the girl to breathe it in and she fell on her knees.

Her dog Wizard tried to get his mistress to stand up by barking in her ears as loud as he could, but it wasn't working.

Danyal cried as the world began spinning, "Why do I feel dizzy?! Help!"

Her eyes began to close without her permission and the last thing she heard before darkness pulled her in was a female voice sounding as if it was the voice of Judy Garland's Dorothy, "It is time for you to discover yourself Danyal."

Bianca noticed Danyal losing consciousness and she rushed to her side and tried to slap her awake, but to no avail. She tried to take her out, but Mr. Virgil laughed, "It's time for you brats to-"

Zander asked, noticing the heroes being attacked, "What are you doing?"

Mr. Virgil cackled, "You'll find out."

Mahad heard a scream from a little girl, and he asked, "Mana?"

The old man snapped his fingers, and a huge gust sent the boys sliding and they fell into the portal.

The powerful gusts began to barrage the Cairn Lhasa causing the girl and her dog to be sucked into the portal with the screaming Bianca.

Bianca grabbed the edges, and she cried, "Help!"

Natius raced to Bianca grabbing her wrists. Yet a powerful gust from behind sent the two falling into the portal!
