Monsters and Magic: Parade of Hope
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Hello everyone! How are you all doing? I hope that all of you are doing well as you read this special.
Before I say or do anything else, I want to give praise and glory to the Lord. Jesus Christ, thank you for looking after me, my family and my friends. Thank you Lord for the gifts of imagination and writing that you graciously gave to me while forming me. I hope to always put the gifts you have given me to good use in your honor. I ask you Jesus to guide, guard and forge me, my family, my friends and those around the world that still believe and follow you. Thank you God for everything!
I really will strive to be more of a better/effective soldier and servant to Christ, and also to not follow or abide by the New Normal, WOKE movement or ways of man, especially with how much has changed in this day and age.
Since my birthday is coming up, I decided to give to all of you a special present. A bit unusual yes, but it's what I wish to do.
For some days, been watching various Disney Parades on YouTube with my niece and nephew Lily & Josiah Vela. They love Disney, and I hope to show to them the best of Disney which are the classics that I watched as a kid. The modern-day ones… to me, they severely lack that special substance/essence/truth that was apparent in Disney back in the day.
In any case, we watched the parades that happened back in the days before the plague known as COVID-19 came up in 2020. The real, tried and true days that did not have masks, social distancing, fear/paranoia, excessive sanitation, barriers that were not up before and such.
They really liked the Disneyland Paris 25th Anniversary FULL Grand Celebration April 12th, 2017 with RARE Characters by MouseSteps/JWL Media & [HD] Paint The Night Parade Disneyland 60th Celebration Opening Night 1080p 60fps Full Complete Show by LMG Vids. And also the Disneyland Paris 25th anniversary cavalcade by DandJ Disney.
After seeing them, I started to get an idea. You see, despite all of the rejection letters and such from the Disney company… I still have that faint, little spark of hope that my Disney/Toho works & specials could become something much more than fanfiction. That they could be the very things that could bring Disney back from where they are now. Back on the real, right and true, red-white-and-blue track.
So now, my idea is here in this special. My vision of my Monsters and Magic series and other Disney/Toho works to be the ultimate hit at Disney, so much as that it has its own unique parade!
And since the only Disney park I know & been to frequently in the past is the Disney World in Florida, it's going to be held at the Magic Kingdom! And that is why I sent out PM's asking what your favorite Toho monsters were.
I really hope to do honor to my fellow Authors, and also the various Disney & non-Disney characters. Also this- the scene in my head as I write this down is situated in the real world. However, the various characters will be put down as it was shown in the classic 1988 hybrid film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which to me is the perfect balanced film of animation with real-reality!
If you wish to see some pictures that are linked to this special, go to DeviantArt and look for the profile MarieAngel04. She is also Dreams, and has made some excellent pictures that I hope any of you check out and review!
And also, check out the amazing stories from my friends Japan Boy, SaurusRock625, Data Seeker, pinkstoryteller and laze jovanov. They all deserve positive and good reviews, so please check out their works!
I believe in the words of my pastor Rick Godwin from Summit Christian Center at San Antonio and it is this: If you try to please everyone, you lose yourself entirely. You lose your identity, you lose your purpose and you lose your connection with Christ. So while others may not be pleased at this, it is what it is. My aim is not to please all, but to write a worthwhile stories and specials that follow Truth that comes from Christ.
I do not own any of the Toho characters, nor any of the Disney characters here. I also do not own any of the non-Disney characters as shown here. The songs will be posted down below instead of here as the list itself will be long. The Authors here are as follows:

There will NO slash or femme-slash characters or actions, and also no trans characters or actions either. I am DEAD serious on this! Check my Profile to see where I stand. In addition, various songs/music will be introduced here but no lyrics. And finally, there will be Christian elements in here & in that I am NOT ashamed at all to post!
No reboots or remakes of any Disney movie or TV show series. I prefer the classics and originals that existed back in the day before things started to change & not for the better.
And in addition, I am letting it so that if anyone wishes to make fanart and such of the floats that are present here, or any part of the parade, they can do so. All I ask is to be notified of the artwork, and where said artwork would be posted so I can see it.
Now, on with the special!)
The date is Wednesday March 8th 2023, and it is a beautiful day at the legendary establishment known as Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Said state was still recovering from the effects of Hurricane Ian, a powerful category 4 storm that had hit on September 28th and stayed around until the 30th. Repairs were slow due to a number of factors, but Florida did their best for those who had been affected by the hurricane named the infamous chaotician from the Jurassic Park series Ian Malcom.
Right now, it was a cloudless day with an admirable temperature of 78 degrees. The sun was shining forth, but with a gentle breeze that made the day just excellent for the patrons that were at the park. Many natives of Florida & many visitors from other places were enjoying the park & all that it had to offer.
At this moment though at the park legendary known as the Magic Kingdom, many of the patrons within the park were making themselves comfortable on the sidewalks at Main Street, U.S.A. Thin but strong rope was set up in certain places with a sign that told patrons that specific sections were closed for the moment. And it was happening not just at that particular place in the park, but also at Liberty Square, Fantasyland & Tomorrowland.
This was all preparation for a parade that would be coming forth soon, but it was no ordinary parade. This particular one happened only in the month of March, and it featured something more special.
This was the day when the incredible Monsters and Magic Celebration Parade would take place!
It was a special event that was thought of by someone who hailed from San Antonio, Texas. A young man who came up with a story series that crossed over Disney with Toho! And who created other Disney/Toho specials and such that had been a hit across the entire world!
That man's name was Daniel Espurvoa Rodriguez Jr., or DJ for short since he was named after his father. And today was his 39th birthday! And even though he was old age-wise, he looked younger than he looked thanks to certain heritage perks on both sides of the family.
Said young man was looking at the crowds that were lining up on both the left & right side of Main Street, seeing the smiling faces of the many men, women and children there that were making themselves comfortable as they could as they waited. Some had settled down an hour or so before showtime, which was at 12:30 p.m.
But it was not just regular people sitting with them… for within the crowd were ACTUAL cartoon or anime characters! Yes, beings from Toon Town were now in the real-reality world! DJ had used his Author abilities to open up a portal that linked the real-world to the place where it was home to many kinds of animated characters!
Some of the older generation were talking to the non-Disney characters from different movies such as The Swan Princess, Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland, The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail, An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Rock-A-Doodle, The Land Before Time and so much more! They also talked/played with legendary classic characters from Disney movies such as Songs of the South, Swiss Family Robinsons, The Three Caballeros, Bambi, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad and more!
And it was not just from the movies had come, but also from different TV series such as Dumbo's Circus, Recess, the various Stitch cartoon series, Filmore, Darkwing Duck, TaleSpin, DuckTales, Beast Wars: Transformers, Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go, Powerpuff Girls, Powerpuff Girls Z and more!
And it was not limited to just the ones from Toon Town, but also the various beings from the Toho movies! Animated and flesh & blood characters from the Toho realm came as well to the real world!
The portal would only open during the month of March, and many people had come to see them. And it was not just at the Magic Kingdom, but in the other parks within the Disney World limits!
DJ had the parade be hosted in different areas on certain days; Monday it was hosted at Blizzard Beach water park, Tuesday at Typhoon Lagoon water park, Wednesday at the Magic Kingdom, Thursday at EPCOT, Friday at Animal Kingdom & on Saturday at Disney Hollywood Studios! Sunday was a day of rest for the parade, but the animated characters could always go to any of the parks of their own choosing.
And on this month, the parks served some special snacks/food/beverages that were linked to the Disney/Toho crossover such as Heisei Hot Dogs, Fire Rodan Spice Drink, Varan Gliding Ice Cream Bars, King Kong Skull Island Pizza, Battra Burgers and more! Anything related to the legendary giant monsters of the past all the way to the present.
The Hispanic man checked his wristwatch, which showed the time at 12:15 p.m. He saw his family sitting on the right side of the road, where they had a prime view advantage of when the parade would be starting. They had their phones out to take both photographs and videos. DJ looked to see that many of the other patrons were doing the same, new and old-school devices out that would record what would soon be playing out.
He also saw fellow Authors in the audience as they opted to be observers then participators. Author Data Seeker held a Showa-era Rodan plushie and was talking to a young woman his age & Baloo the bear from the original animated film The Jungle Book. Blue Marvel 0 was hanging out with Fozzie Bear, Hawkeye & also Rocket Raccoon nearby. OmniBIBUltraInstinctGodzilla was eating some snacks while keeping his video recording device at the ready with Otto the Green Robot Monkey & King Louie from TaleSpin. And many more Authors around with real and animated beings!
He was wearing a green shirt that had four pictures on it, which were the book covers for his four Monsters and Magic series. The pictures were gifts made by his dear friend Author Dreams Come True 996, and the pictures were scanned digitally before being framed. He was also wearing dark blue jeans and white shoes that once belonged to his father. DJ was well groomed and ready for the festivities to begin.
The Hispanic man picked up a microphone, one that was tuned in to the speakers that were lined up all over the park. The young man from San Antonio announced for all to hear, "Good afternoon everyone here at Magic Kingdom! Are you ready for another spectacular show?". The reaction he got was a rousing shout/cheer from the crowd that could literally be heard from the park in a four-mile radius! They were that pumped up!
DJ grinned at this, feeling the positive, electric feeling building strongly in the air & also within himself. After some moments, he raised his hands to show that he needed them to calm down. When he got the level of calmness needed to continue on, he did. He added, "That's good to hear! Now then, the parade will start in about fifteen minutes! I strongly urge all of you to use the facilities if you need to so that you do not miss any of the show. And also to please maintain control and not let anyone get in the way of the performers and floats as they go by.".
If there was one thing the park and patrons were grateful for was that there was no need to worry about a shortage of restroom facilities. Author LORD DESTRYUK had used his various OC creations to aid with making the male, female & family bathrooms expand in size exponentially with keeping the same look on the outside. And also that all of the facilities had suitable cleaning/drying stations as well.
The Rodriguez man continued up his speech, "And as always, we thank you for your patronage here! And just so you know, due to it being my birthday and all, this parade WILL be televised and shown. But not just here around the planet… but also in ALL other areas! Time eras, Dimensions, universes, alternate realities and so much more! So if any of you have any relations out there in other parts of the world, or for any animated character friends/families/acquaintances in other realms, you'll have the chance to wave hello to them!".
This indeed surprised many of the patrons, real and animated, but thankfully in a positive way. He then finished up, "So for now everyone, please relax and enjoy the show! And remember, our nighttime show will start at 9:00 p.m.! Have fun and enjoy your time here at the park!".
DJ returned the microphone to one of the park employees before vanishing in a small flash of light to indicate he had just teleported out. The message he just spoke out to everyone was repeated over the speakers, but this time in different languages. It was done in the language of Spanish, French, German and finally Polish.
The shows that DJ just spoke about were night shows that featured the Disney characters doing a skit that was a condensed version of the Monsters and Magic series, only played during the month of March. Each park had their own shows; the Magic Kingdom hosted the show that played out the very first Monsters and Magic book, the Animal Kingdom showcased the second novel Monsters and Magic: Divide and Unite, EPCOT hosted the showing of the third novel Monsters and Magic: Burning Finale & finally the Disney Hollywood Studios showcased the fourth and final book in the series called Monsters and Magic Special: Sofia's Imagination!
At Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon, the hours are at 4:00 p.m., an hour before closing time. But it features the specials of the various Disney & non-Disney characters plus Toho characters coming forth to jam to the music that was played during the three Disney/Toho Kaiju Music Video Awards that DJ created. It was a blast for young ones, young adults, adults and seniors to be rocking with their favorite animated & non-animated stars.
Many pictures were posted on the Internet where children danced with Godzooky, some teenagers rocking with King Caesar, adults grooving with Jet Jaguar, seniors dancing a little with King Kong and more!
Soon the clock struck 12:30 p.m… and that is when everyone heard over the speakers the original Godzilla Theme by legendary composer Akira Ifukube, and the cheers roared that could be heard from a great distance!
The voice of legendary James Earl Jones spoke up through the speakers as the music kept on playing but toned down a little, "Many have heard the tales of great beasts of legend, tales of daring adventures and romance, tales of epic battles that decided the fate of lands, kingdoms and worlds. And now we are about to bear witness to the greatest kind of story that has ever been written! The crossing over of two universes, where powerful giant monsters meet with legendary kings and queens! Forming bonds that transcend time, space and even universes!".
He finished up, "And now it is my great honor to present to you… Monsters and Magic!".
A portal opened up at the beginning of Main Street… and coming forth was the legend himself, the original 1954 monster that started an era that continued to this day! It was the original Gojira a.k.a. Godzilla! He was shrunk down to human size, about 9 feet in height. But it was him without a doubt as he roared loudly, the audience actually cheering at seeing him! Godzilla lumbered down the street, showing that he was a Grand Marshal of sort, the one who leads the parade.
Following behind Godzilla from the portal was Mickey and Minnie Mouse upon a float! The structure was well-made, crafted with dedication, love, car and imagination. The famous power couple were wearing Japanese 1950s wear, the kind that was worn back during a certain movie. Minnie was wearing the outfit worn by Emiko Yamane, and Mickey was wearing the outfit of famous scientist Dr. Daisuke Serizawa with eyepatch included!
The float was black and white with the city of Tokyo in the middle of the long structure. A short replica to be sure, but it was crafted with such detail that it was amazing. And looming over the city in the back of the float was a replica of the 1954 legendary Toho creature!
Whoever had created the replica model had done it with extreme care and love as it looked very much real. The head turned its head left to ride, the famous roar coming forth along with a spray of water that acted as the infamous Vapor Breath that supposed to act as the creature's fire attack! The audience on either side got sprayed, but they didn't seem to mind at all.
Mickey and Minnie waved to the cheering crowd as they followed Godzilla as the music of Akira resumed to its original volume for all to hear.
Shortly following after them was another float, but this time it has DJ Rodriguez on it. By his side were three beauties; Maram on his left, Claudette on his right and sitting on the edge of the float in front of them was Amy Rose! All three were wearing outfits that showed off their lovely curves, but also with class and taste. The trio of lovely beauties wore red shirts that had in white the insignia of the United Nations Godzilla Countermeasures Center (U.N.G.C.C).
The float was well-crafted, showing a small replica of a fully shown Godzilla from the movie Godzilla 1985: The Legend is Reborn & the replica was facing a floating fully replicated version of the original Super X craft! The theme music of said craft played out as it passed the crowd, DJ and his lovely ladies waving to the crowd. Amy saw that among the spectators was Tails, Cream and Cheese, who waved back to her cheerfully.
Following the float was the monster himself, who roared loudly and followed the craft. The audience cheered loudly at seeing the beginning of the Heisei-era!
The next to come forth were not floats, but were young men and women dressed up in clothes that looked familiar. What they were seeing were the extras that were in the movies The Little Mermaid & The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea. They danced and moved a music that was playing now, which was a DDR-like original song that was featured in the first novel called Friends From Another Place!
Coming shortly after the dancers was main characters of the story; the royal families of Eric & Melody Marcel, Asce & Cinderella Charming, Léandre & Belle Célestin, Florian & Snow White-Rhoda, and finally Philip & Aurora Valentin! They had been changed to age back to the time when the Monsters and Magic story first started out. They were dressed in the classic outfits that made them legend so long ago, waving and also getting close to audience members to say hello.
Among them was also Fairy Godmother Cateline, Enchantress Rosalie, Capt. Jackson Dashboard and more, the subtle but potent extras that really lent a hand like in the novel! Including King Triton, his daughters and their own families, as they were floating in the air as if they were in water thanks to Author influence.
Following close after them was another float, and it is quite a sight! The craft had detailed models of Heisei-era Godzilla, Showa-era Mothra, Showa-era Anguirus & Heisei-era Rodan. Godzilla was the tallest there, with Mothra & Anguirus by his feet. The caterpillar was on the right side, the mutated Ankylosaurs on the left side. Rodan was perched on Godzilla's head, wings tucked in but his head staring out. Whoever had designed it did an excellent job, and also making sure to measure in the height & width requirements to makes it passed through certain structures without damaging or getting caught in anything.
Around the edges of the float were the children of the royal families, those that had first bonded with the Toho monsters when they arrived to the Disney universe the first time! On the right side of the float near Godzilla was Princess Melody Marcel, and with her was Oliver/Olujimi Oxen. They were dressed on how they were shown in the novel, the duo waving to everyone on their side.
On the left side of the float also near Godzilla was Princess Tracy Charming & Prince Mainard Célestin, the two young ones waving to the crowd. On the front left-side was Princess Kathrin & Prince Edgard, and on the front-right side was Princess Dianne with Hadrian/Hazael Shearer near her. In the hands of Kathrin were the famous Twin Fairies- Lora and Moll!
They waved to the crowd as the monster replicas did some interesting special effects. Godzilla roared loudly, while the Rodan one screeched loudly with its crest flashing purple like it would before releasing its Uranium Heat Beam! But instead of a beam, it squirted water out in a jet that flew over the heads of the audience & did give them a little shower. But there was no complaining, only joys of shout as some of the patrons did enjoy the little drizzle.
Mothra squeaked out, turning her head left & right a little. She also squirted water from her maw, as to indicate her using her Silk Shooter move. Anguirus roared loudly, turning its head like Mothra. The ones who did the special effects for them did excellent!
The next ones to come forth from the portal were the little minions of Maleficent's army, the anthro hogs and birds that wore their black armor like in the movie. The song Naturally Bad played on now for this particular part of the parade. They moved forward, but with wild gestures and actions that showed to all that they were indeed the minions of the famous sorceress/witch of all time. Though they did act like in a frenzy, it was in a controlled state as to not really scare the audience.
And after them were the three main villains of the story; the Monster bandit group that consisted of Shadowsneak, Tightfist and Springy!
Coming forth was a float that was of black, green and purple design that truly fit the style of the Mistress of All Evil. Speaking of which, she was in the middle of the float as surrounding her were excellent replica models of the Toho monsters she had brought forth and enslaved to her will in the novel! On the front side was Biollante, the half-plant/half-Godzilla creation that was also Godzilla's half-sister.
On the right side slightly crouched was the Seatopian hybrid bug god Megalon, whose horn flashed yellow and let out his famous screech.
On the left side was Titanosaurus, the red amphibian dinosaur hunched down slightly but was giving off his unique cry.
In the back was Showa-era Ebriah, the red mammoth lobster that lifted his head up to let out his screech for all to hear.
Biollante shot water from her maw to replicate her signature move Acid Sap Shower, spraying the audience with a fine mist that had many yelling/laughing in delight. On the platform that held Maleficent in the middle, she waved to the crowd and on her shoulder was her loyal pet Diablo.
Following after them from the portal was Heisei-era Godzilla, and he was not alone! Coming after him was caterpillar-form Mothra and Angurius, the three kaiju lumbering past the crowds as they followed the float. Mothra scooted left and right to squeak at the various patrons, many smiling in delight at seeing her. Anguirus roared out as he too started to go left and right to the audience members, many taking pictures of him when he got close up.
Godzilla stayed on the middle path, turning his head to look at the various beings before letting out a short roar of his own.
Shortly after they emerged, coming next was Titanosaurus, Megalon and Biollante! The red dinosaur reared up and screeched loudly, then opened his sail fan and turned to swing it about! It gave off a good gust of wind, but to the audience it was quite refreshing. After a few swings, he folded it back up and lumbered onward. Next was Megalon, who also smashed his drill arms together while screeching. His horn glowed yellow as it did before letting out his signature Lighting Strike, but it just glowed instead of letting loose the bolts.
Biollante dragged herself on the ground with her roots and vines, letting out her eerie yet beautiful cry as she followed the parade. She spat out water at the crowd, but more in spray form and again got the audience laughing instead of complaining. Her Venus-Flytrap vines slithered out to see the crowd up close, some reaching out to pet the top of its head briefly before moving away.
Once Biollante moved a suitable distance, more emerged from the portal. First was Donald and Daisy, who were riding a float that was also masterfully crafted. It showcased the realm of Agrabah, complete with the palace itself as beautifully made in the middle of the float. The two ducks were wearing Arabian outfits; Donald dressed like Razoul the Captain of the Guards, and Daisy as a lovely belly dancer. On the front of the float were the words in bold dark-golden letters MONSTERS AND MAGIC: DIVIDE AND UNITE.
Coming forth after them were the citizens of Agrabah, a mixture of men and women who were dressed in costumes from the film. The men did impressive acrobatic feats that wowed the crowd, while the women were dressed in exotic yet again tasteful garbs to showcase their dancing. Needless to say, many a man young & old were very much pleased to see such a sight. A certain song came up for all to hear. It was the song Oriental Carnival, an original song just like Friends From Another Place!
Shortly after them came forth the people from Lelystad (formerly Corona), the ones from the animated movie Tangled. Dressed up in clothes from the movie, the men and women danced and showcased their stuff for the crowd.
And emerging from the swirling white vortex were the main characters of the second book of the series- Monsters and Magic: Divide and Unite! Coming forth was Sultan Aladdin and Sultana Jasmine Shakil, dressed in their royal splendor! They waved and greeted the crowds as they walked on the street, and joining them was the blue wonder himself Genie & his lady love/wife Eden and their son little Robin!
The audience were cheering loudly as Genie and his family performed some minor but amazing magical feats for all to see.
And after them, the music changed to The Path For You & Tinkerbell and her friends from Pixie Hollow came forth Iridessa, Rosetta, Fawn, Zarina, Vidia, Silvermist and Lady Airlia! They were human-sized, but still had their wings and floating about, waving to the crowd. And with them was Capt. Raven Rissing, grown up Alice Hanael, Håvard the Rock Troll & Lady Benedikta, King Hrok, Queen Gunnvor, sorcerer Christopher & sorceress Amanda.
And coming in after them was a large float that was again beautifully crafted like the others held the tall castle of Arendelle, but it was more in the back of the float. In front of it, smaller than the castle, was Heisei-era Godzilla & by his side on his left was Little Godzilla! Again, the monsters were crafted with extreme love, care and pride. On top of the castle was Elsa, Anna and Kristoff as they waved to everyone. Down below, Rapunzel and Flynn were sitting on the edge of the float next to Little Godzilla, waving to the crowd like so.
Godzilla roared loudly as his spines flashed in his trademark blue color, but nothing coming out from his mouth. However, his adopted son made cute little squeaks with his tiny dorsal fins also flashing blue. But this time, bubbles came out from his mouth to indicate he had used his Radiation Bubble Burst! They were normal bubbles, but many the audience found it quite a delight as they popped any of the passing watery spheres. Olaf was on the rear, walking behind the float and waving to everyone.
As they followed the parade, another set of dancers came in. This time, they were men and women that were dressed in outfits that was from the post-Civil War days as the song Diving Into Adventure played. Following them were certain characters that came from New Orleans; Radelle Voodoo Queen & her apprentice Mama Odie, Mr. & Mrs. Enéas and Jacquie La Bouff.
Following after them was another beautifully crafted float, and this time it held the large Treehouse that was also Mama Odie & Radelle's living quarters. In front of the tree were expertly crafted replicas of Showa-era Jet Jaguar & Showa-era King Caesar! The hybrid Divine Guardian beast was standing tall, his ears outward like that of a bat on the left side of the float. On the right was Jet Jaguar, his leg extended outward and low with his other leg bent in a martial arts crouch positon & arms at the ready.
Between them was Aubert La Bouff, Magali Macaire & Skylar Truman, the ones who had bonded with Jet Jaguar!
As the float went a suitable distance, four familiar monsters emerged… Godzilla, Little Godzilla, Jet Jaguar and King Caesar! The crowd cheered at seeing the real-deal monsters, Little Godzilla a bit startled by the noise and crowd as he made waddled close to his adoptive father. Many a female in the audience, real & animated alike, cooed at the adorable action that was Little Godzilla.
Jet Jaguar was doing some impressive martial arts moves while walking along the road, the android speaking in his classic robot sounds. King Caesar was also displaying some impressive acrobatic feats, the crowd very much in awe at seeing such a large, furry beast move with such agility like so.
Shortly after the emergence of the monsters, more characters came forth. The music changed to showcase a more sinister air, to indicate that the villains were now on the way. Coming in on the scene was charming yet sinister plantation owner Aimeri Henderson of New Orleans, surrounded by two lovely ladies that wore saloon girl clothing. Other men came in on the scene, wearing late 19th century clothing. Among them was Louie and Xavier, the two hired hands of Mr. Henderson.
Once the villains from North America went a fair distance from the portal, coming forth from the swirling vortex were men and women dressed up in the garb of the Crimson Claw, the notorious bandits of Agrabah. They wielded various weapons, but thankfully they were all props. It was made TRIPLE-SURE that all were props and nothing loaded or lethal.
The Crimson Claw gang put on a spectacle of moves and acrobatic feats that were honestly very impressive. Soon following after them was their leader, Griffin Claw who walked imperiously with purpose and pride.
Following after him was a float that was black with multiple different colored lights that sparkled on the side. The lights represented the elemental forces; red for fire, blue for water, white for ice, brown for earth, metallic-gray for metal, light gray for mountain, silver for wind, yellow for lighting, white for light & purple for darkness. On the float stood a black Western European dragon that resembled the dragon from the movie Dragonheart… it was the true form of the Master Crystal, and underneath the crystal was ex-Prince Hans himself!
The Master Crystal was exquisitely made with wiring and such that made it transparent but with the thin layer of black film that gave it its coloring and presence. The Master Crystal turned his head left and right, roaring loudly while the lights on the float flashed brilliantly. Behind the Master Crystal was the ruins of Castle Hrok.
Once the float had made a good distance from the portal, emerging from it were the Toho monsters… Godzilla's half-sister Space Godzilla, and the dinosaur cyborg from another planet Showa-era Gigan! The two space monsters roared loudly; Space Godzilla first, then Gigan shortly after it. The clone of Godzilla that was originally a small part of Biollante that went into space & evolved rapidly due to coming into contact with a black hole was floating above the ground slightly, using her psychic-like powers while the crystals on her shoulders glowed!
Gigan screeched loudly, clanging his metal scythe arms together & his single eye flashing red as he walked down the street to follow the parade.
Once the Toho monsters were at a fair distance, the song changed to the one called Reunited At Last & another float came in on the scene. This one featured the headquarters of the famous G-Force, which is an international joint military organization formed by the United Nations and the J.S.D.F (Japanese Self-Defense Force). It is the military-branch of the United Nations Godzilla Countermeasures Center. It was again masterfully constructed, at the end of the float but it did take up a good deal of room.
In front of the building were two symbols; the Monsters and Magic insignia which was Mickey's head & ears with the Toho kanji symbol in the middle of the large circle, and the other was the insignia of G-Force, which was a large circle that contained a smaller circle within it. The inside of the large circle was black, and the inside of the smaller circle was red with a blue border that separated it from the black. It sported two golden angel wings that were flared up, a sword with a blue top, golden handle & blue guard thrust a large dark-orange G letter. A white banner was underneath the G letter, and seemed to be connected to the angel wings. On the banner were the words in black letters FORCE, and underneath it was a black ribbon with the words in white G-FORCE.
In front of symbols were Goofy and his wife Sylvia Marpole-Goof, Maximillion 'Max' Goof & his wife Roxanne Goof and their children Shaun, Keara and Ted! The triplets were toddlers and have grown quite a bit. They were dressed in some Monsters and Magic merchandise clothing, and they opted to stay close to their parents as they were a bit nervous about the crowds. But many in the audience were very much taken in by the adorable offspring of Max and Roxanne.
On the front edge of the float were the words in red-golden colors MONSTERS AND MAGIC: BURNING FINALE.
Following behind the float and coming from the portal were men & women that were wearing the uniforms of G-Force, all of the Japanese descent. The music changed to something that could be danced to, which was Bio-Wars a music piece from the 1991 soundtrack Godzilla vs. Biollante & composed by Kouichi Sugiyama. The various men and women performed some impressive moves while moving to the music.
And coming after them… were certain legendary characters from the Toho movie Godzilla vs. Destroyah! Coming forth was Miki Saegusa, legendary psychic and advocate for Godzilla in her G-Force uniform! And with her was Emiko & her brothers Kenichi & Yukari Yamane! And also Professor Fukazawa, Dr. Kensaku Ijuin, Commander Takai Aso & Major Sho Kuroki! And also Joseph Sustaita & Daimon Lavestia, two OC characters from the novels, were also there too! They were named after DJ's Author friends' anime-death-angel and LORD DESTRYUK. And also among them was K. Avenger & D. Defender, also OC's that represented the friends of DJ Kaiju Avenger & Gojira Defender!
DJ was hoping to see them, as he had not heard from them in some time and were hoping they were okay…
Shortly after the characters left, certain Disney characters came… and they were the grown-up versions of Tracy and Regina! And following them were the mature versions of Cinderella, Anna, Alice, Rapunzel and Lady Benedikta! The Disney characters here were dressed up in the modern-day garbs that were present on them in the novel.
And soon after the group from the portal emerged a float that again was wonderfully crafted with extreme love, care and dedication. The float was a pure white with dark-blue edges, and on the float were the replica models of Hikari Godzilla as he was facing Destroyah with the wings flared out & tail raised like a snake's! The animatronic Hikari Godzilla's blue body parts pulsed a strong white color, the famous roars coming from the maw while Destroyah's horn glowed orange & from his open mouth. Between the duo was the demolished airport scene from the novel.
As the float passed on enough from the portal, two special beings emerged… it was Mega Marshmallow and Empress Athena, the two OC behemoths that aided Hikari Godzilla! Of course, now they were down to manageable size like the other Toho kaiju. On the right shoulder of Mega Marshmallow was the mature Elsa, who waved to everyone. On the left and right shoulder was Empress Athena was Ariel and an aged Melody respectively. They were wearing the modern-day garbs they had on in the novel.
Emerging after the duo were Godzilla Junior, M.O.G.U.E.R.A and MechaGodzilla-II! The young teenage son of Godzilla looked curiously at the audience, letting out his high-pitched roar as he lumbered onward.
The two mighty mechas were behind the saurian, but instead of their famous robotic noises… they spoke with the voices that was given to them in the novel! The voice of DECCA from the Power Rangers in Space series came from M.O.G.U.E.R.A, and the voice of Austin St. John the original Red Power Ranger from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series came from the maw of MechaGozilla-II! Needless to say, the audience cheered loudly at hearing the voices come from the mechas!
Shortly after the mechas and GJ marched out, from the portal emerged the henchmen and women of the dangerous yakuza gang from the novel… the deadly Crimson Katanas, the varied sized villains wearing the uniform of the dangerous gang & making gestures to the crowd to show off their toughness. Coming in last was the beautiful but deadly leader of the underground gang… the alluring but very potent Lady Momoko, who wielded an impressive katana but thankfully it was a replica that looked real but was out of foam.
And the last ones for this particular set came forth the Juvenile-form Destroyah, three of them! The audience gasped at seeing the tall & destructive monsters! But like the others, their tendencies were curbed thanks to Author influence. The crustacean-like beings screeched loudly while scuttling to and fro, but keeping within the parade boundaries and following the others.
Once the Destroyah were away, the song changed to Family Stick Together as a float came forth from the portal. It was long and well-crafted; it was light purple with dark purple trimmings on the sides, and on front of the float was the Monsters and Magic insignia on an elevated platform. A purple banner was shown on the front, hung underneath the insignia that showed the words in bold golden colors MONSTERS AND MAGIC SPECIAL: SOFIA'S IMAGINATION. It was the fourth and final float for the Monsters and Magic series!
Besides the insignia were two familiar ducks, on the left was Donald Duck & on his right was his fashionable lady love Daisy Duck! The duo were wearing medieval wear; Donald a prince, Daisy a princess. On the float that took up the middle and most of the end part of it was a replica of the Royal Preparatory Academy, done with incredible detail to indicate that the ones who made it had done extensive research into the structure. And on top of the sturdy structure were the Three Good Fairies- Flora, Fauna and Merryweather!
As the float followed the path, more characters emerged from the portal. Coming forth were men and women dressed in stylized clothing that came from the Disney Junior series- Sofia the First, dancing to the music that was playing now. And soon to follow were other characters, but this time they were the OC ones that came from the novel! Coming forth was Solta Runzi & his wife Lisa, Magric Korastor & his wife Barbara, Garza Greenstore the elder & leader of Razorwood village & Pastor Rick Wing! The characters waved to the crowd, while Magric & Solta performed some impressive magic tricks for the crowd.
The song on the speakers soon changed to broadcast the song Monstrous Imagination. Following shortly after the OC characters was a float, this one showcasing four particular monsters… Heisei-era Godzilla, Showa-era Mothra in moth form, Heisei-era Rodan, Showa-era Anguirus, Showa-era Jet Jaguar & Showa-era King Caesar!
The animatronic creatures were again excellently crafted and maintained, and also looking different from the others. Mothra was perched on the back of the neck-head area of Godzilla, wings flared out with the colorful wings flashing brightly, Rodan was standing on the shell of Anguirus with his own wings flared out & finally King Caesar and Jet Jaguar were doing a pose that was similar to the legendary WWF (World Wrestling Federation) stars- Shawn Michaels a.k.a The Heartbreak Kid & Big Daddy Cool Diesel! But for King Caesar, since he was the one standing tall, merely held his arms at the ready like he did in the movie he was featured in rather than lift one claw up. And it was Jet Jaguar was that doing HBK's pose.
Another float came after them, and this one held the immense 2nd form of an animatronic Biollante, the half-plant/half-Godzilla creation letting out her famous roar while her vines that were raised upward spat out sprays of water that really cooled some of the audience members down.
Following the float from behind were the friends & adversaries of Sofia the First such as Cedric, Ruby, Jade, Princess Vivian, Prince Zandar, Princess Kairi, Princess Clio, Princess Hildegard, Prince Hugo and more! And coming in costume form was Clover, who waved to the audience as he walked by.
Shortly after the characters of Sofia got a good distance from the portal, emerging from said vortex… were the many Disney characters that had come to help Sofia and her family when they were called forth, and leading the gaggle of famous/legendary cast was Josiah the Archangel!
After the famous characters, another float rolled in on the scene. This one was elegantly made & in the middle of the float was Sofia's Castle as it was exquisitely done! On the front of float from left to right was Amber, Sofia and James but they were wearing the clothing/armor that was given to them for the battle in the novel. Princess Amber took to the air, surprising everyone as she flew around the areas a little on her Showa-era Mothra wings that sprinkled down golden dust.
What was surprising that behind Amber was little Nolene, the female Baby Godzillasaurus that she was introduced to some time ago & had bonded with her! The little one seemed nervous at seeing the crowd, so she kept close to Sofia and James.
Up on the castle on a balcony was King Roland the Second & Queen Miranda, and they were dressed in the battle outfits that was given to them in the novel as well.
As the float continued on its path, the song changed as Final Stand played forth to indicate a change of venue was at hand. Once the float was a fair distance from the portal, coming from said swirling hold in time/space/dimension was the villains of the final novel! Coming through were the minions of Cosmina! First up were the Rock Rooks, the stone monsters that looked like the Destroyer Golem Duel Monsters from the Yu-Gi-Oh series! About seven came into place, lumbering in while looking quite intimidating.
Next were the Shadow Soldiers; coming in first was a group of bird-headed humanoid beasts entirely black, and after them was a group of wolf-headed anthro minions that howled & snarled in impressive fashion. And again thankfully, Author influence kept the minions under control as they put on an impressive show without going all wild.
Once the minions were a fair distance away, coming in was a sinister-looking float that was a dark black color. A structure that took up most of the float was an excellent miniature replica of the Carpathian Mountains… and in the middle of the structure was Cosmina Liviu, the sorceress who had aspired to be like her role model Maleficent & had conjured a plan of revenge involving Sofia and her family!
She was dressed in her sorceress attire that showed off her fine form, but also displayed to all why she was an aspiring Mistress of All Evil. However… something happened as the tip of the mountain where she was standing in glowed a dark blue color. The float's colors seemed to change, going from black to a mixture of blue and white! It seemed that the ones who made the float put in some serious special effects to it!
When the float changed, so did Cosmina's outfit. The black outfit seemed to shift to a mixture of light blue and white, showcasing to all Cosmina's change from bad to good as it was shown in the novel! It appears that the outfit had been outfitted with some special electronic work that had the color scheme change at certain intervals. Cosmina's color and float changed back to Villainess-mode, showing that the change would occur every minute or so.
After the float had passed a good distance from the portal, coming forth were her top minions. Coming out first was Crazeon, an eagle-headed enhanced Shadow Soldier that truly looked like a nightmare come to life! And beside him was Horruk, an enhanced Rock Rook that looked like the Giant Soldier of Stone Duel Monster. The duo were OC's that belonged to LORD DESTRYUK.
The two minions looked menacing and lived up to being top baddies, but again never did anything to seriously harm or scare the audience members.
Shortly following them were four familiar monsters… which were the legendary Hanna-Barbara monsters from the 1978 series Godzilla! Coming in was the Energy Beast, the alien shapeshifting centipede. Next was Crab Cyclopes, the one-eyed giant with huge teeth and crab claws for hands. After him was the Firebird, a fiery female that lived in dormant volcanoes. And finally the Earth Eater, a hybrid of insect and dinosaur that was made entirely out of mud.
The classic original monsters screeched/roared loudly as they stomped onto the road, though again they were kept under control. And also Firebird flew over the parade but never straying far from the group.
Even though the Monsters and Magic series passed by… the parade was still going as now coming up next were the ones from the other Disney/Toho works of DJ! The ones from the Disney/Toho Kaiju Music Video Awards special, and this one featured certain Authors who had volunteered to be part of the parade!
Coming from the portal once the others had gone a fair distance from it was another float, this one having the Monsters and Magic insignia on the front with a light-green banner on the edge of the float that bore the words in bright blue words DISNEY/TOHO KAIJU MUSIC VIDEO AWARDS.
In the middle of the float was an excellent replica design of the House of Mouse, but this one was the renovated one that LORD DESTRYUK and his OC's did. And above appeared Lillian, the buxom digital beauty who was a sentient AI created by DESTRYUK that was named after Walt Disney's wife & was put in charge of overlooking and safeguarding the dinner theater club!
In front of the structure was the Multi-Dimensional Rock Heads, a band that consisted of an unlikely cast of characters! Leading with an electric guitar was the leader, Ember McLain who came from the Danny Phantom realm! She was dressed in a new outfit, one that was made by Dreams.
It was a fusion of the leather outfit worn by famous musical artist Janet Jackson from her 1989 music video Rhythm Nation, and the outfit worn by the femme fatale villain Turmoil from the original animated series SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron. It was a dark-gray suit with shoulder pads, a purple trim at the collar area & a fuchsia-colored undershirt with a black musical symbol note on it. She had on a black cape with dark purple colors on the inside of it where people could see it, elbow-long black leather gloves, a black belt with a blue square buckle & knee-high black high-heeled boots.
She took off the black cap with the words EM on it in purple etching that was on her head, setting down at her hip where it hung somehow.
Behind her were the teenaged nephew of Donald Duck; Huey on an electronic keyboard, Dewey playing a saxophone & Louie on trumpet. Bringing up on the drums was popular character Experiment 626 a.k.a. Stitch, the loveable blue alien having all four arms out as he went to work on his instrument. And last but certainly not least was the lanky, but spunky redhead teenager known as Pepper Ann as she was rocking on acoustic guitar.
They were playing the song Celebration by Madonna, which was the first song they played at the dinner theater club when it hosted the music video awards. Ember was singing the lyrics as the song played… and suddenly her hair changed colors! It went from her usual blue flame to an icy-blue color & flowing down! Ember was now showing off her new ability, which was changing to a different element which her hair color & style to indicate which element she now possessed. Her Elemental Shift as she dubbed her technique had these elements in which she could change into; Light, Darkness, Fire, Water, Ice, Earth, Forest, Mountain, Metal and Wind.
She switched to different elements every two minutes as the float would go on through the streets of the Disney park.
On the back-end of the float behind the structure was legendary Muppet band- the Electric Mayhem! Dr. Teeth, Animal, Floyd, Janice, Rolf, Zoot and Clifford were on their instruments as they played along as well. The audience cheered loudly at seeing the long-time band members of the legendary Muppet crew.
As the float continued onward, emerging from the portal were other special stars- the graceful and beautiful Dimensional Divas! Alluring Matia, sensual Nozomi, pretty Francine & dynamite Demetra were dancing to the music that was provided by the bands. They were dressed in amazing garments that showed off their fine forms, but also gave him class and style.
They danced and also went to the sides to greet some of the patrons, waving and smiling to them as they followed the parade.
Once they were a good distance away from the portal, another song rose up and it was Son of Man that came from the animated Disney movie Tarzan. Several monsters emerged from the portal… and they were Showa-era Spiga, Showa-era Gambra, Showa-era Ebriah & Heisei-era Battra Larvae-form! The monsters did their trademark roars/screeches as the audience beheld the mighty beasts even though they were down to manageable size.
Shortly after they emerged, a float exited from the portal. It was wonderfully crafted, and in the middle of the structure was an island that was a miniature replica of the fabled & legendary Monster Island! In front of the island were two animatronics that were of Showa-era Minilla & Heisei-era Godzilla Junior. On top of the island was Author Darkness Rissing, and by his side was his lovely lady Spring Sprite who featured in the Disney movie Fantasia 2000!
The Author was dressed in his casual best, waving to the crowd and showing to the crowd the trophy that he had won in the latest music video awards. In his right hand was the twenty-inches high, made out of solid platinum & carefully crafted in extreme fine detail, 2021 King Kong statuette with the Spine Axe in his grasp
On the back of the float, looming over the island, was the animatronic form of Heisei-era Godzilla. The spines glowed blue as the most famous roar of all came from his maw.
When the float was a fair distance away from the portal, something emerged from the vortex as the song changed now. This time playing for all to hear was the song K2G (Kimi Ni Go) which was done by the popular Japanese band Puffy AmiYumi! Coming forth were Storm Troopers, but these were from the Clone Wars series. It was rather bizarre but in an entertaining way to see the troopers moving to the music and song.
After several of them emerged, shortly after that were the characters Admiral Tarkin, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Shaak Ti, Mace Windu, Aayla Secura & Anakin Skywalker! Though they had actual lightsabers at their sides, they did not activate them but did show impressive use of the Force for the entertainment of the crowd.
Following after them was a float, wonderfully made and featuring some iconic buildings that were from the planet Coruscant. In front of the float was Ahsoka Tano and formidable Avenger- Black Panther a.k.a. T'Challa! The duo waved to the crowd, doing some impressive poses for the cameras and videos recording them.
On one of the buildings of the model emerged the Author SaurusRock625, but he was in his alternative form which was a Namekian Time Patrol Avatar that went by the name of Scargo! The audience cheered as the Author waved to everyone, then used some of the race's impressive moves to really wow the crowd.
When the float was a fair distance away, emerging from the portal were three kaiju with two that were not officially from Toho but still quite welcomed. It was Zilla, his mate the female Komodithrax & the mighty mecha known as Kiryu!
The son of the original Zilla stalked around as it followed the float, his brown-skinned Komodo Dragon-like mate sticking close to him. Following behind them was Kiryu, the mechanical clone of the 1954 Godzilla looking around with his yellow eyes gazing at the crowd. He let loose his unique roar, showing his fighting capabilities like turning his hands into a drill quickly. And though he had his weapons, they were kept offline for the moment.
When the monsters were a fair distance from the portal, a song came up that was Dear Jessie that was sung by the legendary icon Madonna. As soon as the song came on, many classic Disney and non-Disney characters emerged! First was Jim Hawkins, Long John Silver with the little pink Morph floating by his head, Capt. Amelia, Delbert Dopplar, Mr. Arrow and Ms. Hawkins from the movie Treasure Planet.
Next were the characters from the classic animated movie The Jungle Book; Mowgli the Man-Cub, the lovely original Shanti the village girl, the awesome Baloo the Bear, the swinging orangutan King Louie & the wise black panther Bagheera. And after them were the characters of Mary Poppins
Coming in after them was Princess Snow White & her beau Prince Charming from the 1988 Filmation movie Happily Ever After. And with them were the Dwarfelles… but with their husbands, the Seven Dwarves from the legendary animated Disney film Snow White and the Seven Dwarves! Coming in together were Grumpy with Blossom, Doc with Muddy, Dopey with Thunderella who had grown into quite the alluring young woman, Sneezy with Critterina, Sleepy with Moonbeam, Happy with Sunburn & finally Bashful with Marina.
When the characters were far enough from the portal, coming through it was a very lovely float that showcased animatronic Toho monsters that took up the middle and end portion of the large structure. The animatronic marvels were situated on strong stilts that held them up, and it feature four of the legendary Mothra moth from different eras!
On the left was the original 1961 Mothra & on the right was the 1992 Mothra from the Toho film Godzilla and Mothra: Battle For Earth. Situated above them from left to right was 1996 film Rebirth of Mothra & Rainbow Mothra from the 1997 movie Rebirth of Mothra II. The animatronics were crafted with extreme love, care and dedication as they did indeed looked real. Each of the Mothra's let out their signature cries from their moths, and also flapping their wings to give the illusion that they were taking flight.
In the front of the float on a small elevated dais was Author Dreams Come True 996, and she was wearing an outfit made just for this special occasion. She was wearing an outfit that looked similar to Snow White-Rhoda, but was orange with the torso area showing the colors of blue/black/dark-orange. The shoulder areas had the puffy-ball form, but there was no sleeves. She wore a little past elbow-length light-yellow gloves with purple/green/blue large beaded wrist accessory, and bore a green/pink/blue/yellow beaded necklace with a moderate-sized silver butterfly symbol for all to see. In her brown hair was a yellow & orange butterfly hairclip.
The dress split down like a layered flower, the bottom white orange & blue coloring with gray & black stripes coiling around one another down the middle. On her back were butterfly wings; silver lined edges with the inside showing a mixture of colors as if someone had put them in a mixing bowl and stirred it all together.
Down below near the edges of the front of the float were the Powerpuff Girls, but at thirteen years of age & in dresses made by Dreams! Each one was based on a dress that the new Twin Fairies wore in the Rebirth of Mothra series.
Blossom was in the middle, wearing a red & pink ensemble with a sheer transparent gray cloak adorning her shoulders with a round silver clasp with a red heart insignia on it that held it together. On her head was a hot-pink large headband of sort had wings on like a butterfly.
Bubbles was on the left, wearing a blue ensemble that had a sheer blue transluctant layer around her waist area. She had on a white belt with a round silver buckle clasp, a gray beaded necklace around her neck. Her usual side ponytails were there, but now held by blue butterfly wing hair clips.
Buttercup was on the right, and even though she was a tomboy at heart and action, she had the budding figure of a blossoming woman coming into age slowly but surely. She had a green ensemble on, with a sheer transparent gray cloak adorning her shoulders with a necklace of bronze around her neck with a green star ornament displayed for all to see. Around her waist was a sash belt of black and brown, and on her green gloves & shoes were brown arrow markings. On her head was a green butterfly head piece accessory.
The PPG and Dreams waved to the crowd as they passed by on the float, soon spotting their parents in the crowd on the side. David and Alice Utonium waved to their little ones, proud looks on their faces and tears of joy in their eyes.
When the float was a fair distance away from the portal, another song came up for all to hear. It was the song Run With Us sung by Lisa Lougheed from the 1985 cartoon series The Raccoons! As soon as the music came up, several characters emerged from the portal… a true variety of real and animated characters! Coming in first was a familiar modified black Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, and in the driver's seat was a familiar face as well… it was KITT (Knight Industries Two-Thousand) and legendary character Michael Knight (formerly Detective Lieutenant Michael Arthur Long)!
The older generation in the audience cried out in surprise at seeing the two beings from the 1982 NBC series Knight Rider! In the shotgun seat was the lovely Bonnie Barstow, the lead design engineer for KITT's systems such as Super Pursuit Mode.
Following them was a young Quarab horse, and on his back was a young black man that went by the name of Reginald Cornelius III, or as many called him just RC. He was a capable mechanic, a versatile driver and a good friend of the Knight Industries organization. But the horse was also a special character as well, an OC character by the name of Salas!
Salas was a talking horse that was featured in pinkstoryteller's story, and also companion to two other special animals. On the head of Salas were two legends from Warner Bros.; the lanky and tall but fun-loving lab mouse named Pinky & the short but brilliant lab mouse known as Brain! The two mice waved to the audience, though Brain was nervous due to not being the center of attention like so.
Coming after the horse was another character from the series was, an almost exact copy of KITT and it was KARR (Knight Automated Roving Robot)! And in the driver's seat was Devon Miles, the head of F.L.A.G- the Foundation for Law And Government, a cool and level-headed man who was a staunch ally for the forces of good and law.
After the car and talking horse passed by, a float came forth from the portal. It was well-crafted and built with a sea-theme. On it that took up much of the middle and back end was the legendary ship known as the Calico, the vessel that appeared in the 1978 Hanna-Barbara series Godzilla!
Standing on the edge of the front part of the float was the crew. From left to right was Pete Darien, the adventurous nephew who was also a responsible one. Next was his aunt, the brilliant scientist Dr. Quinn Darien who still looked as lovely as ever. And after her was Brock Borden, the strong and capable deck hand & friend.
On the replica of the famed and versatile sea craft was the captain known as Carl Majors & by his side was Author pinkstoryteller who was dressed in her best! In her right hand was the participation trophy from the latest Disney/Toho music video awards; a thirteen-inches, deep-blue solid steel statuette of the Skull Devil from the 2017 film Kong: Skull Island. She held it up proudly for all to see.
On the deck of the boat were two familiar crafts; the Ranger Plane & the Ranger Wing, the aircrafts of the legendary group known as the Rescue Rangers!
And near the crafts were the original group & their children/successors! Near the Ranger Plane were the original group, aged well and with their better halves. Chip with Tammy Squirrel-Chipmunk, Dale with the lovely Gadget Hackwrench-Chipmunk, strong-mouse Monterrey Jack with his wife Janna & Zipper with the pretty Flighta.
On the right next to the Ranger Wing were their children/successors to the group, the next generation of Rescue Rangers. The leader Binky Squirrel, younger sister to Tammy who had aged well into a very lovely young woman with a body figure that caught the attention of any male that glimpsed at her. She was wearing a blue latex suit that was similar to Black Widow from the Marvel franchise, but the Rescue Rangers insignia was proudly displayed on her heart area.
Next was Geegaw and Michelle, son and daughter to Chip & Gadget. Geegaw is a mouse with brown fur and a red nose, wearing a mechanics uniform. While he had most of his father's traits, his mind was more like his mother's. Michelle is a chipmunk, white with blond stripes, blonde hair and a pink nose. While she had her mother's looks, she had her father's zest for life and seeing the positive aspects. She wore blue shirt with a pink skirt, the shirt having the RR insignia.
Shown with them were Arthur and Lisa, son and daughter to Chip and Tammy. Arthur was a chipmunk that had light brown fur, dark-red nose and blue eyes. He was wearing an outfit like legendary detective Sherlock Holmes, and holding a small tablet in his hand. He had a good mind, but his special abilities/talent laid with computers. Lisa was a squirrel with dark-brown fur, black hair, black nose and black eyes. She had a mind that was sharp mind that could spot any kind of irregularities in a crime scene that could be utilized to solve crimes WITHOUT the use of a computer! She could do it all within her head.
Next was Anna, daughter to Monterrey Jack and Janna. She has her mother's alluring build, but her hair was deep-red like her father's & light-green eyes. Her has cinnamon-colored fur and a dark pink nose. Her outfit was similar to the one Capt. Majors wore, though it did nothing to hide her feminine beauty. She also had the same Cheese Attack urges that her parents had, but she was getting better in maintain self-control… sometimes.
And last but not least were Spike and Vanessa, two flies that were the descendants of Zipper. Vanessa has deep black hair, a lighter shade of green, purple eyes and wore a white dress. Spike wore a simple green shirt, had dark-emerald skin coloring & black eyes. The daughter is the voice of reason, while her brother is more passionate & a bit more reckless.
On the back of the float, on the stern of the ship, were the villains of the Rescue Rangers! Or at least particular ones. One that was obvious was Fat Cat, the criminal mastermind who had aged but still looked like his old self from the past. He was wearing his usual clothing, and with him were his old henchmen & their daughters who were now his own henchgirls!
There is Lips, a femme fatale of a lizard that is the daughter of Wart. However, she is not like her old man as she loves to dress in the latest fashions of clothing. But she has stealth capabilities unlike her father as she could enter kind of building with little to no detection. She is fairly intelligent, but her weakness are jewelry and expensive fashions.
The next addition is Melissa the Mole, daughter of Mole. She is different from her father, as she is quite intelligent… almost on the level of Gadget! However, she has a tendency to overlook a minor but critical detail to her inventions that often led them to work, than fall apart shortly after. Also, she is not the most physically fit of the group even though she is considered slimmer than her father.
Next up is Amazonia, the daughter of Mepps. Also like the rest, she is different from her father. While Mepps was scraggly and weak like most alley cats, Amazonia is strong and fit! In fact, she has a slim yet muscular build that attracted even Fat Cat, who coveted power and control over anything else. While confident in her own abilities, in most cases she underestimates her strength and thus put more OOMPH into something she is trying to lift, carry or break through than necessary. And while she is intelligent, she is a bit naïve and often follows the advice of others quickly.
The final addition to the new team is Zena, daughter of Snout. Unlike her father, she is quite elegant and often spoke with an aristocratic manner that is similar to the proper ladies of old. She has skills when it comes to crafting, which surprised Fat Cat when he saw her works, such as she can copy anything given any material needed. However, she has a bit of a problem with being in dirty quarters or handling anything that was even remotely dirty. She will put up a fuss until everything was clean to her specifications. She is of quick wit and sharp mind, but again her weakness are dirty places and people/animals.
Once the float was a good distance away from the portal, something large walked forth… and coming into view was Hanna-Barbara Godzilla, who roared loudly as he saw the crowd! While he was like the other kaiju who had been shrunk down to be larger than normal human sized, he still commanded quite a presence. And flying over his head was Godzooky, the playful but also brave little monster seeing everyone and having a very pleased look on his face. He landed down to the ground, waving to everyone as he and his uncle started to follow the float.
Following after them were the OC characters of pinkstoryteller; Lina, Gina and Luke. Gina is the daughter of Lina and Goji, having a talent for dancing and singing. And Luke is her older brother, always looking after his little sister. The kids and Lina are very special beings indeed, but one has to look to the Author's stories to find out more.
As soon as the tall monster and the OC characters were a good distance away from the portal, the music changed to now play Strike Back which was sung by AmaLee & was featured in the anime series known as Fairy Tail!
Coming first from the portal were several Disney characters from the music video that played this song. Emerging first were the animated anthro heroes known as the Mighty Ducks from the 1996 animated series of the same name, all in their battle mode uniforms. Coming forth first was the leader known as Wildwing Flashblade, goaltender and wielder of the legendary golden Mask.
Next to him was his brother Nosedive Flashblade, hotshot left-winger player and potent fighter for the crime fighting team. He tends to be a bit impulsive and childish, and also a brilliant 4th wall-breaker, but he was a formidable character in his own right.
Following after them was Check 'Grim' Hardwing, the tall and muscled physical fighter of the team. He is quite wise and versed in the art of Zen, using his muscles and mind together in harmony & balance. He is the right defenseman of the hockey team, and defender of his teammates with his strength and Zen wisdom.
Next was Duke L'Orange, professional jewel thief & lock pick expert. He is also a brilliant swordsman who wields the golden blade known as the Ducksaber. He wears a cybernetic eyepatch, cool and confident in his abilities and also his stance for the forces of good. He is the team's center, and quite fancy in stealing the puck from his opponents.
After him was Tanya Gertrude Vanderflock, reliable genius for the team and master inventor/mechanic. While not the strongest member of the team, she has a gentle personality and a good sense of humor that is often needed in tense times. With her trusty Omnitool on her wrist and her wits, she is quite the capable female fighter! Left defenseman on the hockey team and can really put her calculations to effect to disable opponents.
And finally there was Mallory McMallard, fiery redhead beauty whose fighting skills and temper were equal to it. Once part of the Puckworld Special Forces, it shows in her military training, sharp tongue and sense of justice. She does have a flare for fashion and shopping, showing that she is not all tomboy. She is the team's right-winger, and is not afraid to go all out when need be on the ice or in battle.
Next were the Gummi Bears, legendary iconic heroes from the 1985 animated series of the same name! First was Gruffy Gummi, the leader of the group of Gummi Glen. Rough and tough, he has a no-nonsense attitude and is devoted to protecting his clan from any threats. He does have a soft spot that shows from time to time, and also is quite an inventor.
After him was Zummi Gummi, the magician of the Gummi Bears and caretaker/keeper of the mystical Great Book of Gummi's which contained all of the lore, magical spells and history of the clan's past. A bit absent-minded, but having a good heart, sense of humor and patience plus wisdom that had aided his race for many years.
Up next was Sunni Gummi, a beautiful blonde lady Gummi Bear who had grown up some. She had all the curves and beauty of a fine lady, plus refinement in acting like one, but also had a spirit of adventure & was not afraid to get dirty when need be to protect her family and friends!
After her was Cubbi Gummi, who had also grown up to be close to what humans call a pre-teen. He wore his usual clothing that had been enlarged by Zummi's magic, and wielded a realistic-looking sword even though it was plastic. He still kept that boundless energy and spirit that made him loveable back in the day, and the potent imagination that kept him busy in keeping his skills sharp.
Next up to the plate was Grammi Gummi, the feisty yet also motherly matron of the clan. She was the one that held knowledge on certain Gummi traditions and customs, such as how to properly make the fabled Gummi Berry Juice that she had passed on to Sunni. Grammi had a sharp mind, a witty personality and also a sense of humor that made her quite iconic.
And after her was Tummi Gummi, the slow but friendly Gummi who loved to eat and take it easy. But he was not lazy as he had some considerable talents such as building ships & having a knack for finding secret places even unknowingly.
After the anthro bears were their human allies. Coming together was Cavin and Princess Calla, the power couple back in the days of the series. Cavin was now a young man, looking dashing in his page/squire uniform. He was actually on the verge of officially becoming a man at the age of 18, and also on the verge of being a real knight. Only about four months until his 18th birthday. He still had his honest heart, his desire to do good for the kingdom & his Gummi friends, and also his devotion to the lovely princess.
Speaking of which, Calla had truly blossomed into a young woman. With curves and assets that were already catching the eye of many a man, and many princes & nobles coming to court her. But she refused all of them, as her eyes & heart already belonged to Cavin. Though she is wary of a friend of hers that considers her a rival, which is Princess Marie who also has her eyes on the budding page/squire. Calla still has a great sense of adventure and is good with certain weapons to defend herself, but it is now tempered with responsibility to her people & also tends to use her wits and smarts to get out of tough situations.
Shortly after the couple had walked away from the swirling vortex, coming from the portal were another set of characters… the ones from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies!
Emerging together like Cavin and Calla were another power couple; Will Tuner and his wife Elizabeth Turner, who was still the Queen of the Pirates & Brethren Court! Will had been set free from the Flying Dutchman, and now worked as a weapons-smith for Port Royal where he and Elizabeth lived in. Though he still sailed with her whenever he could, and also when trouble arose that needed his assistance. He was still crafty and skilled with a sword, and also he & Elizabeth made an excellent team in battle.
Said woman was still the fine lady, in both figure & in fighting. Her skills in leadership and common sense had actually been a boon to the pirates of the world, managing to have them attack & plunder black market ships that did trade illegally. An unusual action yes, but best she could do in order to curb any attacks on unarmed vessels. And while she was the Queen, she did take & heed advice from her husband as they discussed matters like so as a healthy couple should.
Following after them was the legendary Hector Barbossa, still in his trademark clothing that had made him famous/infamous & still wielding the potent magical weapon Sword of Triton.
And last but not least was a pirate that everyone knew about far and wide… the funny and very skilled man going by the name of Capt. Jack Sparrow! He wore his pirate uniform, and still maintained that unique air & mannerism that had made him known far and wide. He was still captain of the potent Black Pearl & commander of a rag-tag team of pirates that had made their reputations known all over the Caribbean.
As the characters walked down the path and following the parade, a float soon appeared from the portal. It was long and well-crafted, showing to all a replica of a decimated city that took up most of the middle and end part of the float. On the front of the craft, perched on the edge of it were two symbols that were a fiery red. On the left was the Monsters and Magic insignia, and on the right was the symbol of Fairy Tail!
In front of the float were two beings; the amazing Author known as Kearitona Sjachraelgil and with her was her beau Atemu from the Yu-Gi-Oh anime series! The duo were wearing the garments that they wore in the music video they made for the very first Disney/Toho music video awards event!
In the middle of the city were the animatronic forms of Showa-era Mothra, Burning Godzilla and Godzilla Junior. The animatronics were well-made and looked quite realistic, showing that the ones who made them took extreme pride and dedication to their work.
When the float went a fair distance from the portal, emerging from it were two familiar Toho beings… Final-form Destroyah & Space Godzilla! The two powerful foes of Godzilla let out their signature roars as they stomped on the grounds, but again Author influence prevented them from attacking the audience members. The two shrunken monsters lumbered past the humans and animated beings who took pictures and videos of them.
Once the duo of the most formidable of all of Godzilla's enemies was a fair distance from the portal, the song on the speakers changed to now play Your Move from the Yu-Gi-Oh anime series! Coming forth from the portal were the characters from the series; young Yugi Motou who now looked more like his alter-ego Yami, Joey Wheeler, Téa Gardner, Solomon Motou, Rebecca Hawkins, Serenity Wheeler, Mai Valentine, Duke Devlin, Mako Tsunami, Shadi and Ishizu Ishtar!
And they were not alone, as they had their trademark Duel Monsters with them by their side! Not people in cosplay, but the actual monsters! By Yugi's side was the faithful Dark Magician in his purple attire, Dark Magician Girl by Miss Gardner's side, Solomon Motou having the behemoth hulk Exodia the Forbidden One looming over him, Rebecca Hawkins being watched over by the dazzling Luster Dragon, Serenity Wheeler with the Forgiving Maiden, Mai Valentine with the Harpie Lady Sisters as they wore cybernetic armor, Duke Devlin with the armored monster Orgoth the Relentless, Mako Tsunami with his floating beast known as the Legendary Fisherman, Shadi with the rocky giant known as the Millennium Golem & finally Ishizu Ishtar with her floating mechanical monster Agido the Ancient Sentinel.
When the last characters were a good distance from the portal, coming forth from it was another float. This one was again well crafted and designed, and also quite long. This one featured a replica of Domino City, and on a raised platform within the structure was Tristen Taylor and Jazz Fenton!
And on front of the float were various casts from the Danny Phantom series! It consisted of Danielle 'Dani' Fenton, Danny Fenton, Valerie Gray in her usual outfit, Frostbite, Paulina Sanchez, Star Satellite, Princess Dorathea, Desiree, Wulf, Kitty and Cujo! Danny was in the middle, held by Valerie and Desiree. Dani was sitting on the left side of the float with Wulf, Frostbite and Kitty doing the same but on the right side. Cujo was in Puppy-form and in the arms of Paulina.
Up on the stand, Tristen and Jazz were holding each other as they waved to the crowd. The group waved to the audience, Jack & Maddie plus Tucker with his lady love Laurette Bimbette, within the real & animated beings as they saw the others on the float. Father and mother were proud of them immensely, and it showed on their faces. Tucker was glad for them as well, his ego no longer a problem thanks his amber-dressed girlfriend Laurette.
When the float went past a certain point on its path with the parade, more beings came forth to show the villains/villainesses of the music video coming!
First was the ones from Danny's realm; Vlad Plasmius the vampire-like halfa archenemy, Skulker the android hunter, Technus the self-loving spirit of technology, Walker the law-obsessed specter, Prince Aragon the tyrannical brother of Dorathea, motorcyclist Johnny 13 and his unlucky Shadow, Youngblood the juvenile ghost that was dressed like a pirate, Undergrowth the nearly indestructible plant being, Spectra the misery-sucking succubus & finally Fright Knight! And last but very much least was Sydney Pointdexter, the bully-obsessed ghost.
The villains WOULD have done something for their benefit, but again were under Author influence… and also that said Author and his allies would do something to them that would make any kind of punishment they've endured so far seem very tame by comparison if they got out of line! So they walked down the streets of the park, following the float & also mildly impressed when some of the audience actually cheered for them. It seemed that even the bad guys and girls had fans/supporters like so.
After the DP villains, emerging next were the antagonists of Yugi and his allies.
Coming out first was Seto & Mokuba Kaiba with the ever-faithful Blue-Eyes White Dragon hovering over them, Rex Raptor with the powerful Tyrant Dragon, Weevil Underwood on the back of his creature Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth, Panik the Enforcer with his monster Reaper of the Cards, Bandit Keith the former Intercontinental American Dueling champion with his own mechanical monster Barrel Dragon, the dreaded Yami Bakura with his sinister Fiend-monster Dark Necrofear, the maniacal Yami Marik with his dangerous Fiend Newdoria, Odion the faithful servant of the Ishtar family with his own preferred beast Millennium Scorpion, creator of the famed Dueling game Maximillion Pegasus and by his side the alluring Toon Dark Magician Girl, the Para Dox brothers accompanied by their fused monster Gate Guardian, martial arts user & Yugi-obsessed fangirl Vivian Wong with her Asian-themed monster the formidable-looking Dragon Lady, psychic fraud Espa Roba with the potent Jinzo towering over him & finally the big fan of zombie Bonz & his own personal monster Pumpking The King of Ghosts!
Once the villains/villainesses had gotten a good distance from the portal, the final song came over the speaker which was Hero by the Christian rock band Skillet! Coming in now were the Authors who had been loyal reviewers & friends to DJ!
Coming in first from the portal was Author Rose Spooks, a very good friend of DJ's who was on a well-designed float that had her on the front of it. And looming above her & taking most of the craft was her favorite Toho monster- Biollante in her Rose-form, the very first form that fought against Godzilla when they first met!
The female Author waved to the audience as the animatronic creation letting out its hauntingly beautiful cry as they rolled on the path.
Next after them were the characters from the TV series Firebreather and the 2013 version series Monster High!
Appearing was Clawdeen Wolf-Rosenblatt with her husband Duncan Rosenblatt, and with them were their hybrid children Drake and Lupa. Coming after them was Jenna Shwartzendruber with her werelion beau Amyntas Panayiotis, a handsome Greek blonde man that could change into a powerful werelion that was said to be descendent of the Nemean Lion that Hercules had slain long ago.
Next was Frankie Stein and her beau Kenny Rogers. Following the couple were Robecca Steam with DJ Troniquez, Venus McFlytrap with Joe Osmos, Cleo de Nile hugging on the arm of her beau Deuce Gorgon, Draculaura with Clawd Wolf, Jinafire Long with her chosen one Chad & Abby Bominable with Heath Burns. Following the couples was Isabel Vasques, Ghoulia Yelps, Lagoon Blue, Margaret Rosenblatt, Blitz Barns, Nefera De Nile, female doctor and physician to Duncan- Dr. Pytel…
And emerging after them was the form of Duncan's father, the powerful kaiju known as Belloc! He was shrunken down to manageable size in his monster-form, but many were impressed by the red dragon-like sentient beast.
Following shortly after the emergence of Belloc was a float, one that was specially crafted and well-designed by the Author who made it. Said Author was on it, with his lady love of course. The structure had a symbol on the front that was crimson in color, it was the insignia of Monster High embedded within a dragon's head & both symbols were within a heart. And the words underneath the insignia, hanging on a red banner at the front of the float were the words in bold white letters PRIMAL HEARTS!
The float showed the imposing animatronic form of Godzilla from the movie Godzilla: Final Wars! It took up most of the back-end of the float, and underneath the form of the Toho kaiju was a replica model of the potent flying machine known as Gotengo. And on top of the excellently crafted replica was Author DRAGONDAVE45 and his beloved lady Elfire!
The drill of the ship that had fought against Final Wars- Godzilla spun fast, glowing with white light as the animatronic saurian roared loudly.
As the float continued onward, a lesser known but still remembered by some Toho legend came forth from the portal... the kaiju beast was Varan from the 1958 movie that shared his name! He was an earth-brown color, with large poisonous-tipped spikes right down the middle from the top of his head all the way to the base of the tail. He had thin but strong membranes located in the area between his front & back legs. Varan was an aquatic amphibious creature, who could store vast amounts of water in special sacs stored in his hindquarters. And when need to fly, would separate the hydrogen atoms from the oxygen atoms within the sac, expel the oxygen out which would give off a very sweet smell. And use the hydrogen in other sacs to take off into the air, thus giving him the ability to take off and glide through the air.
The lesser-known Toho beast roared loudly as it saw the people, who were perplexed in seeing such a beast. While he still had his ability, he was once again under Author influence to not utilize them nor to harm the patrons.
Just as Varan gained some distance from the portal, another float followed after it. This one was created by the Author known as Japan Boy, the very one who had inspired DJ to write the Disney/Toho series with the ones he created himself! The structure was very much well made with love, care and dedication. It showed the Marcel Castle in the middle of it, and in front was the animatronic form of Millennium-era Godzilla. The creation roared loudly, the spines flaring in a strong electric-blue color. At the edge of the float hung a blue banner with the words in bold white colors THE LITTLE MERMAID GODZILLA: A FRIEND IN NEED.
Near the top of the castle made replica was the Author himself, who waved to the audience as the float continued on course with the parade.
Once the float was a fair distance from the portal, two other Toho kaiju appeared. These two were from Godzilla: Final Wars; it was Godzilla and Manda! While the serpentine azure-colored dragon was an aquatic monster, it was given the ability to fly in the air like the Eastern dragons in mythology did. And like the others, Godzilla and Manda were shrunken down to manageable size & under Author influence.
Following them was a float that was well-crafted and made with care. On it a mountain which was shown in the movie Kong: Skull Island & on the mountain replica was an animatronic form of Kong himself who wielded the famous axe that was used against Godzilla & MechaGodzilla in 2021 Legendary film. On the front of the float on a platform was Author laze jovanov, who wave to the audience as the float drove down the pathway.
After the float went down a ways from the portal, another float emerged but this one looked to be truly high-tech. This one featured a replica of the stage that was inside the dinner theater club the House of Mouse that was set up close to the front, and on the stage was Author LORD DESTRYUK in his unique form that made many an audience member in the crowd, both real and animated, gasp in how such a creation should exist!
Sitting in the chairs but facing the audience were his OC creations; Lord Magickra the living embodiment of magic, Hackoron and Cyberoshia a.k.a the Tech Twins, Lady Gaiastroya the Elemental Mistress, Cyberoshia the lord of technology & so many more OC's that belonged to him.
Hovering above the stage replica, and taking up the middle and back end of the float… was an immense animatronic of the most powerful foe to Godzilla- Legendary-era King Ghidorah! The robotic doppelgänger of the famous monster gave off their unique roar from the heads, the maws flashing golden with the sound effects there.
Shortly after the float passed far enough from the portal, three other Toho kaiju appeared… which was Showa-era, Heisei-era and Millennium-era King Ghidorah! The audience gasped as they beheld the potent space monster from different eras, which thankfully were shrunk down & again Author influence so no lighting blasts were shot out, nor anyone harmed.
The song changed once the King Ghidorahs were a good distance away, as this one was special as it was the very last presentation was going to be done. It was Dreams to Dream, sung by Linda Ronstadt from the 1991 animated film An American Tail: Fievel Goes West.
Emerging from the portal was the 1974 version of Godzilla from the Toho movie Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla! This one was the 3rd favorite Godzilla of DJ Rodriguez, the defender of the planet Earth roaring loudly as he walked away from the portal.
When Godzilla was a good distance from the swirling vortex, another float came into being. But this particular one was truly spectacular, saving the best for last. It was quite long and huge, just enough though that it could be easily maneuvered through the park roads & also fit down underneath certain structures. This one was done with extreme dedication, love, care, commitment and pride. On the front of the float was the Monsters and Magic insignia, with a white banner hung on the front edge of the structure that showed these words in bold blue letters DISNEY/TOHO FOREVER.
It showed a very detailed replica of the city of Toon Town, and also within the structure were the other Disney characters such as Pete, his wife Peg Pete, their son P.J. & his wife Vanima, Pistol and her fiancé Matt Norwood, Clarabelle Cow, Horace Horsecollar, Oswald the Rabbit, Ortensia the Cat, and many more classic Disney & non-Disney characters! Also some Authors were on it too like jakemon248, AUNBRIE, King of 2211, cornholio4, AdventureKing2017, Tiger2014, GODZILLA1996 and more who wanted to be in the parade!
Within the city replica structure on a raised platform was DJ Rodriguez! He had made a clone of himself to be at this particular point at the end of the parade. This one wore a white shirt that had the picture of the book cover of the very first Monsters and Magic novel he made, this one created years ago by a dear friend of his from Puerto Rico! He had blue jeans on, white sneakers and looking very pleased.
As the float pushed onward, DJ held up a microphone and announced, "Thank you everyone for coming to view this very special parade on my birthday! And I hope to continue my Disney/Toho works for a good long while! Until then, I hope you all enjoy the festivities and such! Remember, we still have a special for tonight at 10:00 p.m.! Again, thank you for your time and also God bless each and every one of you here and out there this day!".
The audience cheered loudly from his speech, all intent to watch the parade to the very end. And the ones watching from their various places all around the multi- and mega-verse were also watching from start to finish. Many stars/starlets that were in various realms were now considering moving to Toon Town, hopefully to get a fresh start & also to remain as they are instead of being rebooted/remade like the trend was becoming now.
High above the park, high above the entire planet actually, some people were watching the parade from the very beginning.
Up in space itself, Heaven revealed itself once more as the Kingdom shone in the darkness of space. A grand place of unsurpassed splendor; mansions of such great quality that it would leave any kind of structure made by mortal hands in the dust completely. It was where those that fully accepted and followed Jesus Christ would enter, living in true paradise. It was also the place where Arch-angels trained for battle, going through such rigorous regiments that would make any kind done by any mortal army seem like a walk through a park on a breeze, calm and mild spring day!
Looking down at the parade down below in Orlando were the loved ones of the various Authors who had passed on. And also some famous people that had passed on recently from the world as well such as Carman Domenic Licciardello a.k.a. Carman, Robin Williams, Carrie Fisher, Cameron Boyce, Wayne Allwine & his wife Russi Taylor-Allwine, Pat Carroll, Teruyoshi Nakano, Hiroyuki Watanabe, Gilbert Gottfried, William Hurt, David Ogden Stiers and more were there to see the parade.
Among the spectators of heavenly angels was Daniel Garza Rodriguez Sr., Lillie Espurvoa, Michelle Motley, Danielle Vela and more. These were the family members of DJ; Daniel his father, Lillie his grandmother on his mother's side, Michelle the sister of said mom & Danielle Vela being the little niece.
And with them leading the hosts was the Son of God Himself- Jesus Christ. He had visited the House of Mouse establishment on a few occasions, and each of visit was special.
Daniel looked down to where his family was at and said, "It's good to see you all doing well. And DJ… you have come far, mijo. I am very proud of you.". Those words were the last ones he said to DJ before he was taken to the hospital in December 2020… and to this day, DJ strived to make his father, grandmother, aunt and Jesus proud. Jesus first of course, anything else coming second.
Jesus looked to the angels behind him, then back down to Earth. He spoke, "When the time comes, the Kingdom will come down to settle on Earth. And all of you will be reunited with your beloved ones.".
Lillie, who was Captain of a legion of angels as she had been a fierce fighter in life, spoke up, "Until then, we will all watch over them and help them as best we can.".
The angels, both regular and warrior kind, nodded their heads as they continued to see the parade all the way through. Danielle looked to her grandfather and asked, "Pappo, do you think by the time that happens, the Dallas Cowboys will finally win a Super Bowl?". The question was so innocent that it was adorable, and also it made Daniel and those who were fans of the Cowboys chuckle.
The head of the Rodriguez family looked down to his precious granddaughter and answered with a smile that showed the crinkles on his face, "Hehehehe… well Danielle, one can still hope and pray. I just hope they can win next year…". This got a laugh from the angels, even making Jesus even smile a little at that.
And when it was done, Heaven sealed itself up and soon vanished from view. But in its place was a golden starry symbol of the Cross, the very thing in which Jesus was nailed to long ago when He willingly shed his blood so that all the sins of the world were paid in full. The symbol stayed in space, visible for anyone that would look up, and slowly faded away after ten minutes.
(Author's Notes: And… cut! That is it for this one-shot special! Whew… it took a while to do as I had to do a LOT of back-checking from almost all of my Disney/Toho works to make sure I got certain things right.
Before I say or do anything else, I wish to give praise and glory to the Lord. Thank you God for helping me with this special for my birthday, and thank you for helping me with everything in my every daily days and nights. Thank you Jesus for being there for me, my family, my friends all over and also to the people that still call out to you. I ask you Lord to please continue to guide us, guard us and also to strengthen us in all ways so that we can all be suitable & more effective servants and soldiers for you!
I still have the hope and dream, even though it is faint, that my works will become something more than just mere fanfiction. Perhaps… just perhaps… my works will become the very thing Disney needs to get themselves out of the pit they are in now. I believe that is why I chose the last song Dreams to Dream, as it best represents what I am feeling & hoping now.
I have many hopes; to find that special and awesome little lady to be in my life as my wife, to become a great man like my heroes Dad, Carman, Rick Godwin, etc., to continue to be more better for my family and friends… but my ultimate hope, my overall top hope is to be a more better effective servant/solider for Jesus. To stand firmly with Him then with a world that has spiraled out of control & downward.
Oh, here are the names of the songs used here. Again, I had to go back a lot to find certain ones from my Disney/Toho music video awards specials & also from my Monsters and Magic novels.

Whew! That was a lot of songs here. And now for the questions! Ahem…
If you were part of the parade, how would you get ready? And if you just watched the parade from the sidelines, what would you use to record the entire event?
If you could make the meals/snacks/beverages for the event, what would you make? And if you were selling merchandise of the Disney/Toho event, what would you sell?
Which of the nighttime Monsters and Magic skits would you see? And concerning the water parks, which would you go to in order to enjoy a Disney/Toho event?
If it was up to you, what float would you make for the parade? And which Disney/non-Disney/Toho characters would you bring to represent your float?
What was the most favorite part of the parade? And why?
If you were on the sidelines with the audience, what would you say or do in seeing the Toho monsters that have been shrunk down in the flesh and blood? And what would do you if any of the stars/starlets in the parade waved/greeted you?
And finally this… what do you think the others around the real-reality world, the multi-verse & mega-verse would say about the parade? And what past shows would be a good fit in Toon Town?
R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave LONG reviews!)
