VMK Cafe: The Black Cauldron
Chapter 1

I walked into that shrowdy cafe. It wasn't lighted very well, and was a bit dusty. And of course, it was empty... except for that bartender. Heck, I'm his only real customer. Others just come in... and leave. Never buy a thing. Me? I buy some cherry whiskey. Quite tasty.
Today, the bartender looked worried. I asked for my whiskey, and broke three glasses in the process of getting my drink. He scowled when I handed him the money. I wondered why. I grabbed my glass and walked upstairs.
Oh yeah, did I not mention I lived at the Cafe? Yeah, I was never really accepted as a little alien to the general kingdom. Nobody wants to be friends with a yellow blob... right? I went into my small apartment. For the most part, it was bare. A small bunk and coffee table were in the corner, and my bulky SX Porter 3.45 was quite dusty. The teleporter was quite old; the current version was 7.8. Still, it worked for a quick trip to Star Traders. I sell my gluco paste there. I can produce it after eating a lot... I kinda cough it up into a bucket of sorts. Gets me enough money to rent this room here... I get a good 500 credits a pail.
Sipping my whiskey, I recalled what an odd walk home I had. There I was, walking down Main Street, when I saw two men-or was it women?- in long brown coats with shades and Everest hats. I watched, them, perplexed. They noticed and glared at me, and then one of them snapped their fingers. Instantly a car from the Sci-Fi Dine in flew from the sky and slammed into the middle of the street. I quickly ran to help a poor startled guest, but when I returned the two figures were gone.
The ocher dabble of an alien could hear a bumbling superhero downstairs. A crash, glass breaking on the marble floor, and then a chair falling on its side. The blue-clad superhero propped himself against the table, nearly knocking it over, and retrieved the chair. He took a seat, and glared at the bartender.
"I am... RandyMan, the saviour of innocent people, fighter of those taken people, and... and I need some money," he enunciated as he emptied his already empty pockets. A few fluffs of gray lint fell to the floor, and the bartender scowled, as he knew what was next.
"On my tab, this time... I'll pay it back soon!" he mentioned, and was immediately served. Two sodas, one Coke, and one Pepsi. He had a small ritual. He lifted the red white and blue Pepsi can and emptied it into the sink. He then walked back to his Coca-Cola, and refreshed himself with the cooling syrup.
"Let's see... you've got close to 3000 Credits on your tab. Pay or boot, buddy-oh!" the bartender replied to the superhero. RandyMan gulped down the last drips of the drink, and snapped his fingers. A sack appeared, and plopped to the seat next to him. He opened it, and rummaged through for a blue hat. "The Sorcerer's Hat," he mumbled, and placed it aboard his head. It fit nicely, the black ears gleaming in the reflection of the sun off the mirror.
"Brb, bartender..." he said, and disappeared in a blink. He was back a few seconds later, his hair dampened, dust all over his hands, and a few splinters of wood upon his shirt. He placed a shower from his sack smack dab in the middle of the bar, and started washing off.
"How many times must I say, don't place your items here in the bar! Go to your room, superzero!" the bartender mentioned, and the shower disappeared.
"BoomCrash!" he shouted, and was whirled into thunder and winds of fury. A few glass bottles fell to the floor, and cracked. After a few seconds, he was clean and dry, almost sparkling like a Firework (the Flawless ones!). RandyMan withdrew a sack, and set it on the table. For a second, nothing happened, then both dived for it, and when they opened the bag, it was empty.
"Dang! We missed it again!" the bartender said, and went silent for a moment. Then he sighed. "The credits are in my inventory..."
"Oh, man! I thought we'd finally be able to see what a credit looked like! Oh well... now I am all paid off!"
With that, the superhero laughed, and slipped.

A Pirate Captain walked out of a Hook Shop, with his shiny new hook on his hand. He saw a Person who had slipped-- the blue-clad superhero. "Arg, matey!" He said, "looks like ye need a hand there!" He quickly helped the superhero onto his feet. "Arg, ye look like a spiffy man, ye do! How about ye help me with an... errand?" The superhero said quickly, " And what is that errand?" "Arg, it be to get some credits back from that land-lubber Jack Sparrow!" He replied with a scowl.
"Well, as long as it was yours," He said, trusting the old pirate. The superhero quickly sped off to find Jack Sparrow.
As soon as he pointed out Jack Sparrow on his Tracking System, Randy Man went to return the credits to the pirate. "Jack Sparrow!" He said, "I order you to return that money to Captain Zeke, that old pirate captain!"
Jack Sparrow looked surprised. "Return it? Why would I give him money for free? It is my gold, ye hear!"
"It is?" Randy Man asked with surprise. "How can I trust you?" "You can't..." Jack said, and sped off, laughing his head off.

RandyMan flinched. Then he lifted his face, and immediately scarlet beams shot from his pupils, illuminating the wood of the ship in a faint glow. The heat that was the ray turned the wood around him into flames, trapping Cap'n Jack Sparrow. RandyMan laughed.
"Now, is it, or is it not, your gold, sir?"
"Take a guess!"
"Don't need to." And with that, he puched the deck, sending forth splinters of salted and soggy lumber to the captain.

Skippy heard the comotion downstairs and quietly oozed his way down. He saw a Pirate and a Superhero, talking. Skippy walked and ordered another thing of cherry whiskey. Chugging it down, I began to feel bubbling in my stomach.
"Oh shoot!" I muttered, not wanting to cough up Gluco Paste right in the Cafe.
Unfortunately, I began to cough up into my bottle. The Pirate looked on with curiosity, but the Superhero watched in disgust.
*Urp*"Er, sorry about that. It's how I earn my credits. Those ghosts never seem to appear to me."
"Point well taken, my name is Captain Zeke."
"Uh, mine is Randyman, protector of..!
"Save it, I've seen you storming around Star Traders before."
Randyman didn't like this blob's attitude.
"Anyways, my name is Skippy. I live here, seeing as nobody cares about a little alien. Care to see my room?"
"Sure, I've got a lot of time on my hands."
The pirate followed Skippy upstairs, but Randyman scowled and ordered a drink.

As the pirate followed skippy up the creeky stairs he could tell something was wrong.
When they neared the room the pirate looked behind him and thought he saw a ghost, but it then Dissappeared.
"Here it is"said skippy
"huh what" Said the pirate a little jumpy after what he had just seen
"this is my room"
"Oh ok".
The alien opened the door and gestured to a chair.
When the pirate sat down the alien locked the door and pulled out a Zoozka 2000
"Put your money on the table ye scurrvy pirate" said Jack Sparrow taking off the alien mask
"Jack!! Ye know ive got no money you took it all"
"well then give me your gun and all other expensive things ye might posess"
"Never!!!"The pirate said as he jumped out the window landing in the ice cold water.

The pirate quickly jumped out of the ice cold water. "Arg, don't need to catch a cold here. To much stuff to do!" He quickly hurried back into the VMK Cafe to fight it out with Jack Sparrow. When he got back into Skippy's room, he saw that practically everything was smashed into splinters.
"Arg, what be the meaning of taking out the poor little alien's makeshift treasure, Sparrow?" Jack scowled. "I don't care about someone else, only me, ye hear!" Captain Zeke shook his head with despair. "Ye were always a land-lubber with no respect, Sparrow. Now give back me money so I can pay the little alien back for the damage ye done." Jack shook his head. "And ye call yourself a pirate, paying someone for something someone else did.... Ye be a sad discrace of a pirate, ye are!" Jack quickly pulled out his Zoozka 2000 blaster. "Now, ye give me whatever ye got, or I will shoot!" Captain Zeke drew his Zoozka 3000. "Looks like we have come to a draw, Sparrow. Give me back me money, or get a hard lesson on the ways of a pirate who be honest, but still has a great aim!" Captain Zeke and Sparrow stood with their blasters at the ready for a few moments. Skippy and Randy Man came in. Jack Sparrow took a moment to look at them coming in. Captain Zeke had his chance. "Sparrow, first rule of a pirate, never be distracted by anything when a gun be in your face." Captain fired his blaster, stunning Sparrow long enough to grab his credits from Sparrow's pocket. "Arg, I have me money back!" Said Captain. He quickly handed Skippy the alien a few credits to cover the damage done by Sparrow. "Arg, second rule Captain Zeke - never turn ye back from a pirate when he isn't stunned!" Sparrow quickly grabbed one of Skippy's credit cards.
"Arg, I be sorry Skippy. Looks like we'll be chasing him again..." "Randy Man will assist you, Captain Zeke, in the fight against-" "Arg, don't do that weird thing ye did before, with the extra long description..." "Thanks for your help, you two. I will assist in any way I can."

..."But I'm afraid there is something else bugging me." Skippy said. "I saw two hooded figures who seemed to cause havoc on Main Street. I have no idea who they were... but they looked like trouble. Care to join me?"

"Arg," said the Captain, "Who be these two hooded persons?"
"I'm not sure, but I know they're criminals," said Skippy. "They have been around for at least a month, getting people out of their good money... It's mutiny, I tell you!" "Randy Man will assist in your quest!" "Arg, I will too!" said the captain.
"Thanks, guys. From the last I heard in the cafe, they were seen at the Frontierland Hub, robbing everyone," said Skippy. "Arg, I suggest we be getting information first." "Good idea, Captain Think-man!" said Randy Man. "Arg... why do you have to be so stupid at times, Underwear-man?" "OK, quit wasting time, you two. Let's go into the bar and see what we can figure out," Skippy said.
The three allies came into the cafe, ordered some drinks, and sat down. Skippy quickly belched up his usual slime. After they were done with their drinks, they walked up to the bartender for some information on the culprits.
"Arg, we be wondering if you have any idea where the culprits that seal people's money are!" Captain said with a questioning look.
"The two hooded persons, you say? Why do you want to know?" Asked the bartender.
"We are on a quest to rat these people out, and give those people they stole from their money back!" Said Randy Man.
"And why should I tell you...???" Asked the bartender slyly.
"Because you care about those people?" Said Skippy with a slight questioning look.
"I don't care about people..." Said the bartender, and he pulled out a Zoozka 2000.

"Whoah nelly." Skippy said.
"I'm terribly sorry about this," the bartender said. He fired.
The Zoonka, Skippy soon noticed, was not at this moment set to kill, but rather to trap. a huge net engulfed Captain, Randy, and Skippy, and then stunned them, making them fall unconsious.

-

"Ugh..." Skippy muttered.
"Oh No!! Not again!" Skippy was in one of the XS Tech Series Transporters, designed to imprison. He was at the Galactic Federation Prisoner Headquarters.
"This can't be right..." Skippy muttered to himself. "The Galactic are good people. They don't imprison the innocent."
Skippy began to look around, and a horrible gripping truth came upon him. The staff of the Galactic Federation, including the Grand Council Woman, were likewise imprisoned in Series Transporters.
"Shoot!" Skippy said. "Who would do such a thing?"
"Funny you should ask," a raspy voice said. These words sent a shiver down Skippy's sloppy and disformed little spine.
The figure walked forward, and Skippy noticed it was one of the criminals he had seen earlier... wait no, the criminals were a bit fatter. Something wasn't right.
"Who are you?"
"I, small alien, am Malefecient." She removed her hood, and a face so hideous appeared that Skippy screamed and fell back, unconsious. His last thoughts were, I wonder where the others are...

Captain and Randy Man were both in another dimension - The Twilight Zone.
"Uh... I think I have seen this before," said Randy Man.
"Arg! It be some kind of next generation reality!" said the pirate Captain.
"Looks like we have to withstand these horrible elevator drops..." Said Randy Man, as they were about to fall.

When Skippy Woke Up He Was In The Middle Of A Dark Dank Room tied to the table.
Over in the corner he could see the outline of a figure.
He Shouted out "Where am I?"
The Voice replied"its not where u are but who you are"
"What Are You Talking About!?!?"
"I Mean Who Are You"
"Im Skippy. Who are you?"
"That doesnt matter. We need to find away out of this place"
"How am i supposed to get out of these chains?"
"Be quiet someone is coming!"
"But what is your name?"
"Torengo"
Then a figure walked into the room....

Captain and Randy Man survived the sickening drops of the elevator.
"Now, to find out how to get back to our dimension," said Randy Man.
"Arg, let's go ask one of those Hotel Managers!" said Captain. "Good idea," said Randy Man. Randy Man chose one who was named George.
"Arg, we be looking for a teleporter back to our dimension!" Said Captain.
"I believe it is in the room after you watch Aerosmith," said the Hotel Manager. "Thanks," said Randy Man.
The two got to Rockin' Rollor Coaster, where you saw Aerosmith live. They had to ride the coaster to get to the teleporter.
" I hope these restraints work..." Said Captain, as they sped of at 60 mph.

Skippy disliked being tied to the table. His skin, if you could call it skin, was not designed through evoultion to be pierced roughly with ropes. The figure walked closely. Skippy wondered more about why he was suddenly moved. Was it to disorient him? To confuse him? It was puzzled him greatly. Finally, the figure reached him, wearing the same hood as Maleficent.
"Hello, dear."
Instantly Skippy knew it was Maleficent again. The shiver returned.
"You poor, poor little alien..."
"Why do you want me? Why won't you let me go?"
"Why, child, you are chosen. It is in the prophecy. The Cauldron predicted that those chosen will rise to destroy the dark ones.
Dark ones? Cauldron? The cauldron reminded him of something, but he couldn't place it. It seems that deep within his mind there was something... something there, waiting to be discovered. Skippy was more confused then ever.
"I dare hope the others are doing better than I am..." Skippy muttered as Maleficent walked away.

Captain and Randy Man just got out of the last corkscrew in the ride when someone appeared in the back seats.
"Hi there!" Said the mysterious personage.
"What be your business here?" Asked Captain.
"I'm the lead singer of Aerosmith!" said the person. "Thanks for coming to ride this and see our show!"
"We're only coming on this to get to the teleporter to our own dimension..." Said Randy Man.
"Well, enjoy it while you can! The teleporter is backstage. Take a left from my room, and you will find the teleporter at the end of the hallway."
"Arg, thanks a bunch!" Said Captain with a grin.
The two allies found the teleporter, and got back to their own dimension.
"Hey - Where's Skippy?" Asked Randy Man.
"Arg, we'll have to find him..." Said Captain with a scowl.

Well, this stinks. Skippy thought to himself. He was tied to a chair, in some place he didn't know, and apparently Maleficent was out to get him. He didn't even want to think where the others were.
Dang it! Skippy angrily thought. I knew I should've gone to that Aerosmith concert at the Music Party.

CaptainZeke and Randy Man quickly found the teleporter to where Skippy was. They entered the teleporter, and found themselves outside of Maleficent's Lair.
"Arg, let's try the door," suggested Captain. Randy Man pulled at the door with all of his strength. "It's locked..." said Randy Man with despair.
Just then, some Evil Henchmen working as guards appeared, and yelled: "Stop!"
"Arg, now we have two problems..." Said Captain, fists ready for pulverizing anyone.

Skippy could hear the Captain and Randyman outside with the guard. Quivering, as any little alien would, Skippy started to cough up Gluco Paste. The Gluco Paste melted the ropes!
"Well I'll be darned. No wonder it sells for so much at Star Traders!"
Skippy quickly ran for the door, but found it was locked.
"Hmm..." Skippy thought. "I wonder if...?"

From the VMK Cafe, as Justine sipped on her coffee, she could hear the sounds of terror in the other direction. She had a lot of issues on her mind so it blew off for a few minutes. Eventually, she decided to check out what was wrong.
"Not like there's gonna be anything else to worry about right now." she whispered to herself. She grabbed her previously bought cookie and ran out with her backpack.
Outside, she saw an alien surrounded by people, and Gluco Paste squirted all over the floor.
"What's happening here?!" she exclaimed. Something about the mystery of why Gluco Paste was on the floor fascinated her.
"Well, it's a long story..." Skippy began to explain, after he pondered about why the door was locked.
"There's gotta be something hiding near it!" Randy Man came to a conclusion.
Justine looked around the door and saw that there was a tightly tied rope at the back of it. "Why is this here..."
"I was trapped with rope! Maybe it was the same creature." Skippy began.
"Then why is this here..." Justine pointed at something on the ground. The others examined it and got the impression that it was...

Captain and Randy Man finished off the guards.
"Well, that fixes that problem," Said Randy Man.
"Now, to get through this door!" Said Captain.
Just then, the door melted when Skippy belched his famous slime.
"Hello, friends!" said Skippy.
Maleficent appeared right behind Skippy. "You won't get away this time..." said Maleficent with an evil grin.
All three heroes readied themselves for the fight.

CaptainZeke, Randy Man, Torengo, and Skippy were finally united once more. They all started to make up a plan while Maleficent was creeping closer and closer...

Torengo shouted at the top of his voice "Ive Got A Plan....RUN!!!!!"

Three of the four heroes all ran for their lives. Skippy stayed to chat with Maleficent.

"So. We were in the Cafe the whole time, Maleficent?"
"Yes. I blackmailed the bartender. He was either to capture you chosens, or I burned down his cafe."
"Burn down the Cafe!? This is the finest bar in the kingdom!" CaptainZeke cried.
"Well, it won't matter anymore. My fortress has been under this bar for centuries, and now you won't see daylight for quite a while you chosens."
(Whispers)"Captain, wasn't there that Justine girl?"
"Yeah, she must have hid. Where could she have-"
Justine burst from behind a rack of drinks, holding a long crowbar. Unexpectedly, with a burst of energy, she whacked Maleficent in the head.
"Didn't see that coming..." muttered Skippy.

"Arg, that solved the problem with Maleficent..." Said the Captain.
"We should go after those robbers now," Said Randy Man.
"Yes, let's go," Said Justine.
"Let me have a drink, first," Said Skippy.

"What A Day. Ive Never Had This Much Stuff Happen To Me Since Everest Month."Said Torengo

After enjoying a cherry whiskey, Skippy felt oozy. Soon, he coughed up more paste.
"Anymore of this stuff," Skippy sputtered. "and I'll be rich."
As they began to walk out, Justine stopped.
"Shouldn't we do something with Maleficent? And about that guy chained?"
"Oops. I forgot about him," Skippy hastily replied. They returned and unchained poor Tangora, who then had the idea of chaining Maleficent to her own trap! This was quickly done, and they set off towards the Frontierland Hub.
"Listen," Skippy began. "Something is up with us. When I was in the Galactic Federation, Maleficent said something about a Cauldron, the Dark Ones, and chosens. She seemed to direct "chosens" toward us."

"Let's figure out more about the Dark Ones, and the Cauldron," Said Randy Man.
"You will have to get through me, first..." Said Sora, appearing from the shadows.

"Who are you!!"
"I Am Sora"
"Ok But What Are you Doing Here?"
But Before He Could Answer Heartless appreared all around them....

The five heroes readied themselves for the fight with Sora and the Heartless. They all pulled out Zoozka blasters, and stunned Sora and all of his Heartless with them.
"Tell us what the Dark Ones, Chosens, and the Cauldron are," Said Randy Man.

"I Dont Know.....Wait did you hear this from a women named Maleficent?"
"yes...How Do You Know Her"
"She had me captured in some room in frontierland"
"well You Can Come With Us"
"Ok...By the way..Have You Seen My Friends Donald And Goofy?"

Donald and Goofy were locked up in a trunk, in the VMK Central Shop. Skippy had wandered over because he was feeling woozy from all the whiskey. He quickly let them out upon finding them.
"Gawrsh! Thanks! Have you seen our buddy Sora?"
"Yesah, hease was ovvvvvvvvvvvverrrrrrrrrrr......."
Skippy collapsed. He had been overdosed with Cherry Whiskey. In all the excitement, he had forgotten that his blood sugar could not be that high. When he awoke, he found himself in total darkness.
"Whaa...? Where are the others?..." He muttered to himself.
Some pink elephants appeared and uncorked some champagne.
"Oh dear."

"Arg, seems we've been separated, again!" Said Captain with anger in his eyes.
Captain and Randy Man sent Sora on his way, then tried to find a way back to the VMK Cafe to find out what in the world was going on, and who was causing them trouble.

Captain and Randy Man have been teleported into EPCOT.
"Arg, this place looks futuristic!" Said Captain.
"Let's ask that person over there how to get back to Skippy and the others,"
Said Randy Man.
The two heroes asked the Cast Member how to get back to the VMK Cafe.
"There is a teleporter after the ride Mission: SPACE," he said.
The two entered Mission: SPACE and were strapped in.
"I knew I should have taken a space training class..." Said Randy Man as they took off.

Skippy hated elephants. They were big, rude, mean, and were loud and annoying. But he DESPISED these Pink Elephants. They picked him up with their trunks and dunked and dunked him into buckets of champagne. Skippy was surprised he hadn't drowned. At last Skippy realized that someone needed to feed him the Endorisan Elixir, which would wake up his physical self, which he knew was lying in VMK Central. He knew it would have to be fed to him fast, for soon he would go completely insane in this place. The elephants were now twirling him around in some maddening Merry-Go-Round.
"MaKe It StOoOoP!!!" he cried. But he knew it would be a long while, if at all, that it would stop. For the only place to get the Endorisan Elixir was the moon Endor, in the Galactic Star Wars Galaxy.

The two heroes came out of the ride with their paper bags full.
"Why did I have to have that Triple Cheeseburger...???" Said Randy Man wearily.
"Arg, you got the best of it - I had a Quarter Pounder!" Complained Captain.
The two found the teleporter and were teleported to the VMK Cafe.
"Hey - Where's Skippy?" Asked Randy Man.
The two found his unconscious body in his room, placed there by the bartender.

Torengo Was Left In The Cafe And when We Went outside We weas Teleported to MGM.
"Great Im Alone And Have No Idea Where I Am"
Then he looked twords the Tower Of Terror and thought he saw skippy
"Wait For Me!!!"He Shouted After "skippy" as he ran after him.

"Fool." The clever Skippy muttered to himself.
"He has no idea that I am Captain Hook! Muahaha!"
Hook ran towards the Tower of Terror, towards his fanciful trap.

Captain and Randy Man figured out that Skippy had too much Cherry Whiskey, and passed out.
"Arg, this reminds me of a child show, called Dumbo..." said Captain.
"I suggest we look there," Said Randy Man.
The heroes went to the teleporter that was marked "Whiskey Land". They entered the teleporter, and found Skippy on the floor.

"Skippy I said wait!....now where is he going."
"skippy" ran twords the entance of the Tower Of Terror
"Will You Just wait Up!!!"
Torengo Said As He ran into the Tower Of Terror Lobby Not knowing of the fate that awaited him.......

"Oh, thank goodness you gusy found me." Skippy murmured. Those pink elephants... are horrifying.
"Where did they go?" Randyman answered.
"I'm not sure, but they're gone..." Skippy shakily replied. "That's why I'm scared."
"Huh?" The Captain said.
"I think... somehow... in some mystical yet twisted way... I killed all of them."

"Killed them...???" Asked Captain. "How is that possible?"
"That's terrible..." said Randy Man.
The two heroes sat by Skippy, trying to comfort him.

"Something Doesnt feel right"
As Torengo opened the door he was once again teleported to where Captain, Randyman, and Skippy Were
"Foiled Again!!!" Said Captain Hook Back at MGM
"well hello guys"said Torengo to the others

"Well... We're both very sorry, Skippy..." Randy Man said.
"Arg, we never knew you had so much power..." Said Captain.
"Just try to be calm, we will figure out what's going on," said Randy Man.

"Skippy killed some pink elephants and he's getting into a coma..." Said Randy Man. Then CaptainZeke and Randy Man comforted Skippy to the point where he could get back up, and think about plans for capturing the robbers. Skippy said later, "I will never forget that moment I killed those pink elephants."

Everyone, tired and confused of the day, went to sleep. One dreamed of getting on VMK, but turned itself into a nightmare with a ban. One other dreamed he became a CL_. 'Oh if only,' one though, 'that dream was true'. The other thought' Hope I never dream that again!' The others slept soundly that night. But, they all had nightmared, expect of course the luck CL_. In the morning were refreshed.

Then something slipped into the dark mind of RandyMan. It was so horrible, so gruesome, so terrifyingly unthinkable, that is made RandyMan scream in terror at every twist and turn.
RandyMan was in superboxers... at school!
He was only in his elastic superboxers when he arrived at school. The contorted faces spilled against the backdrop of the educational grounds, and the superhero whimpered. He backed against a wall, pounding until he came to a door. A single door in a void of darkness...
"Welcome..." came a voice.
"Eh?" replied the superzero.
"Welcome to the Hollywood Hotel!" said the perky voice.
"Oh, okay. That first time sounded a bit creep-"
"...where the spirits are ripped from their bodies...."
o_0
"Okay, I'll just be going n- hey! The doors are closed!" he said, and turned to face a single elevator. He pushed the button, and immediately the carrier opened. Surprisingly, many people had decided to use it as well. What was really unusual were the seatbelts...
He strapped in, and waited. Then the doors silently closed... as well as the people around him. He yawned, and when he opened his eyes, the people were nowhere to be seen. Then it came.
SWOOOOOOSH!
He fell stories and stories, into the worst part of his dream! He landed on a cusion, and there sat cute little fluffballs.
"NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

In CaptainZeke's dream, he imagined he was back on his old pirate ship, the Black Death. He dreamt he was sailing along, searching for the hidden treasure many had told him about.
"Arg," CaptainZeke said, "There's rough waters ahead..."
He yelled out to his crew. "All hands on deck!"
He suddenly realized: he had no crew! He was on his own to face these rough waters.
"Arg..." CaptainZeke said, "I knew I couldn't pull this off on me own..."
He continued on, and quickly got through the rough water when a wave backed him up and carried him over the entire rapids site.
He dreamt that when he got to the Skull Rock where the treasure was rumored to be hidden, there was already someone there - It was old Jack Sparrow.
"Arg, Captain Zeke, see you next fall!" Sparrow said. Sparrow shoved Captain off the cliff. "Nnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... !!!" Yelled CaptainZeke, as he fell to his rocky death.
Captain then woke up as he hit the rocky bottom, and fell quickly back to sleep.

As wanderer I now was, I came upon a small town cafe, hoping to get some directions to a place I could sleep. The bartender, a quiet, yet peaceful man, welcomed me to stay a night so I could get refreshed to continue my journey for a new permanent home. As I walked the steps to my room for the day, I opened and walked through a door. Once I walked in, I started to whistle the song the Brer Rabbit sang that I heard from somebody else, until I saw a small group of people, who were discussing their awkward dreams.
"Sorry, is this your room?"
"Yes," answered one of them, "It is mine."
"Well then, sorry for the interruption, continue on."
"If you have any questions about this town and such, you can ask me, Mr...?"
"Eye, you can call me Eye."
I nodded to everyone at once, and then walked out of the room with embarrassment, because on that door, it said "Skippy's Room." Once I closed the door behind me, I laughed to myself, because the door straight across the hall said "Visitor's Room." The bartender even explained to me, "Once you get up the staircase, the left room is the visitor's room, you are welcome to stay there for a night to get yourself rested."
I opened my room's door, went in and then locked it. I saw the lumpy bed in the tiny room, taking up about 1/4 of the room. I took off and put my sweater on the coat hangar that rested upon the door, and then jumped on my uncomfortable, yet so cozy, bed. I closed my eyes, and wondered of the day I left my town, until I fell asleep and the wondering of my thoughts turned into the nightmare I was about to dream...
About 10 minutes later, I woke up sweating. I looked at the clock in the room. 9:05 PM. I went downstairs, and got myself some delicious hot chocolate. I wasn't much af a coffee drinker, but something warm always seemed to satisfy me. I went back upstairs and knocked on Skippy's door, wondering if I was able to join there little gathering in there.
"Sure, come on in." Skippy replied.
I sat down, and listened to what everyone had to say.

"My dream," Skippy began, "was terrifying. I was sitting alone in a dark room, when Maleficent appeared, followed by Captain Hook. Then Prince John. And Kaa. And Gaston. And the Queen of Hearts. They all flew up towards a cauldron, and began to... chant. They chanted and chanted, and I saw two red eyes forming in the bubbling liquid of the cauldron. I heard a roar, and for some reason the villains stepped aside as I walked up to the cauldron. As I reached the podium, a huge menacing clawed hand sprung up from the cauldron and grabbed me by the throaght. It said, 'It is over. The time of the dark ones has come.' And then I woke up.
"It seems we've all been having weird dreams," murmured Randy.
"Quite," agreed Tangora.
"Um, did I miss something?" the newcomer EyeBrowKid said.
"Take a seat," the captain gently replied. "We'll explain all we know."

Chapter 2


"Arg... Welcome to our ally system," Said Captain to EyeBrowMan.
"Yes, welcome," Said Randy Man.
"I will explain. We have been chasing hooded figures, and be chased by everyone else," Said Captain. "We been having troubles from the day we met."
"Now... everyone is having horrible dreams," explained Skippy.

"I'm still puzzled, though," Skippy muttered. "What are these dark ones? Why are we chosens? And what the heck is that cauldron?
"I be not sure, Skippy," the Captain replied. "Seems quite mysterious."
"Quite." Said Eye.
The friends talked about what they thought might be happening, but with no definite conclusion. Just then, a great explosion in Adventureland reached for the skies.
"Uh oh." Randyman said.

"Arg, Adventureland! That be near the Pirates of the Carribean!" Said the Captain with surprise.
"We better go see what in the world is going on..." Said Randy Man.
The heroes, all refreshed from their sleep last night, got to Adventureland quickly. They found the explosion happened near the Jungle Cruise.

"Should we check it out?"
"Arg, of course we should!"
"I'll sit this one out guys," Said Torengo.
"But...why?"
"Nothing! Just go on!"
So they did.

They began to wade into the waters, and convinced Torengo to come with them.

"Please no more elephants..." Skippy begged. They walked through the rivers, trying to trace the explosion. At last, they reached a sacred temple. Kaa dropped from it's towers!
"Hhhhhhellllllo, there, chossssssensssss...
"Arg, go away Kaa. Nobody cares about subvillains like yourself." The captain angrily replied.
"Ssssssubvvvvvilllain!?!? I'll sssssshow youuuu, you lame captain!!!!
Kaa used his rattling tail to grab Skippy by the throat. Skippy was being choked.
"Nnnnnowwww, sssssuurrrendddurrrr, and I'llllll lettttt Ssssskipppy gooooo!
"Arg.. what are we to do, Eye?" Asked the bewildered and sweating Captain.
"I have no idea... replied Eye."
"What is wrong with Skippy!?" Cried Torengo.
"Well, he's being choked, smart one," Randyman angrily replied.
"Noo, NooO!! Look at his eyes!!!"
Everyone looked, and gasped in fear. Kaa had not noticed that Skippy's eyes were glowing red, and his body was starting to grow.
"Whhhhhhatttt isssss theeee matter, chhhoooseeennnsss?"
Kaa turned his head, and saw Skippy, screaming he dropped him.
Kaa!Skippy shouted. Prepare to die!
Skippy's body screamed with energy, fire and electricity was erupting from his body. He exploded with power.

-

After the smoke cleared, the allies could see Skippy crippled. and no doubt weak, in the water. They also noticed, Kaa petrified with his eyes open, probably dead.
"Oh my."The frightened Captain gasped.

Torengo had fainted," This is why...," He said.
"Maybe...just...a nap..."
He was unconsious.
Skippy got up and waddled slowly up to him.

Arg, this be not good, not good at all..." Said the Captain.
"Quick, someone - go get some cherry whiskey!" Said Randy Man.
"Arg, I'll do it... it seems everything that is happening is my fault," Said Captain Guiltily. "What makes you say that?" said Randy Man.
"No reason," Said Captain. "I'll grab the cherry whiskey now," Said Captain.

The Captain hurried to the VMK Cafe, and ordered cherry whiskey. He quickly put it in a containerand put that container into his leather pouch. He started to head towards Adventureland, but before he could get there, Shere Khan stopped him.
"Hello, there..." Said Khan, with a sly grin.
"Arg, not now..." Said Captain.

"You're... you're okay, Skippy?" Stitch asked.
"Yeah." Skippy mumbled. "I'm weak, though. We need to get Tangora to a safe place..." Skippy fell again.
"Oh no oh no." Randy said. We have two down. "Where the heck is the Captain with that Cherry whiskey?"

"Oh, were you going somewhere? Might want to make arrangements to somewhere else!" He striked at Captain. "Arg!" Captain got a scratch on his face.

Arg, what be the meaning of your meddlings, Shere Khan?" Said Captain.
"You know I hate humans..." Said Khan.
Captain quickly pulled out his Zoozka 3000 and stunned Khan. He threw his limp body into the river.
"See you later, tiger..." Said Captain. He hurried to Adventureland, and found Torengo and Skippy lying on the ground, limp.
"Arg, I have the Cherry whiskey," Said Captain.
He quickly poured it into Skippy's mouth, reviving him. "Thanks, Captain. Now, let's get Torengo to a safe place," Said Skippy.

"Good idea Skip." Justine said. "It's best to just get them all to rest, we don't want anymore problems."
Captain picked up his Zoozka 3000 and followed everyone down the path. Suddenly, a loud noise could be heard in the direction they were going.
"Noise?" Torengo shreiked, unconsciously.
"Yeah, this doesn't look too good." Justine began to announce, until they were faced by a gigantic, evil creature, growling at them.
"Ugh, not again..." Skippy retorted.
"Yeah, the fun never ends here."

"Great. It's a rhino." Skippy said.

Torengo woke up from his trance and shrieked again. "RHINO!!" He fainted.
"Wait...Torengo, do you know this rhino?" Skippy asked.
"Yes...me...know...rhino..." He woke up and collapsed again.
The rhino looked straight at Torengo, and shoved its hoof into the ground. "IEEEEEE!" the heroes shouted. But out of the blue, the rhino put its head up to Torengo and tried to cool him down.
"Grrr..." it said in a soothing tone.
"What's it doing?!" Randy Man asked in question.
"I don't know...this has all been a confusing ride, hasn't it?" Justine answered.

"Arg, this just keeps on getting weirder and weirder..." Said Captain.
"What's the meaning of this bond, Torengo?" Asked Randy Man.
Justine splashed water on Torengo's face.
"Ah!!! I used to know him from... before I... met you..." Torengo said, and plopped back down on the floor.
"What's he doing, then?" Asked Skippy.
"He's... wondering... why I'm on... the floor..." Replied Torengo.
"Well, we could ride this rhino back to the VMK Cafe and get Torengo back to full health," Suggested Skippy, beginning to get on the rhino's back.
The rest of the team climbed aboard the rhino, along with Torengo. They headed back to the VMK Cafe, and rested in Skippy's room.

"I have no idea how I got so much power," Skippy said. "It was... weird. I was scared, but then became angry, and then... well you know."
"That coupled with Torengo having a bond with a rhino, I say we're the weirdest group of allies in the kingdom," Randyman joked.
"This is nothing to joke about!" Justine cried. "We are apparently chosen ones, and there are villains out to get us."
"Who have we seen so far? Maleficent, Pink Elephants, and Kaa?" Eye inquired.
"Yeah, but I think Kaa is dead." Stitch replied testily.
"I wwwwooooouldn'tttt be ssoooo ssssurree about thattt, chossenss!" Kaa cried as he slithered through the door. "Maleficent reviiiiiived meeee, butttt I wassss neeear deeathh..."
"I thought we trapped Maleficent!" the Captain cried.
"Honestly, child," Maleficent said as she glided in. "You thought ropes could hold me?"
"Shoot, and Tongaro is still weak..." Skippy said as they prepared for a very close-range battle in this small room.

Stitch opened the door, for he had been off elsewhere. BLAM! "What in the world was that?" Stitch said. The others had a broad grin across their face. "You just smashed Malificent! But where's Kaa..." "GAH!" Stitch gasped. Kaa was on his shoulder. By the time he tried to rid Kaa, he was knocked out.

"sssssee whhhy yyou dooont tangle withhhhh thhhe likessss of meee"
"Kaa why are you after us" Said Skippy
"hhheh wouldnttt you liiike to knooow" He said as her slithered as fast as he could away.
"Oh no you dont!!"Said Torengo grabbing Kaa by the tail.
"uhhh ooohhhh"

"Arg, ye don't have any idea what ye be doing, Kaa..." Said Captain, furious with what had been happening lately.
"Thisssss Issss Jussst part of our big planssssss..." Kaa said.
"Plans? What plans?" Asked Randy Man.
"Like I would tell you, Mr. Underpantsssss..." Said Kaa with an evil grin.
Kaa stretched from Torengo's grip, and knocked out Torengo with his poisonous bite.
"Arg, this be the last time we meet Kaa..." Said Captain as he drove his hook into the body of Kaa.
"Gaaaah!!!" Said Kaa, as he slowly recoiled and scrunched up on the floor.
________
After the battle, the team revived Stitch and Randy Man.

"Phew, that was close!" Justine shouted, taking a step back to realize what actually had happened.
"We need to get you back to full health, Torengo." Skippy said.
"Yeah, there's a lot more that we're gonna go through, and it's not over yet!" Randy Man added.
"Me...tired...sleeeepppp...Zzzzzz" Torengo began.
"Maybe it's best if we just let him sleep for now. He can gain his strength by tomorrow, hopefully." Justine said.

-TOMORROW-

"Rise and shine, Tee!" Skippy shook Torengo.
Torengo woke up after his long night's rest. "Muh..mommy?"
"No, not mommy. SKIPPY!" Skippy shook him again, this time practically rolling him on the floor.
"Hissss..." Torengo shot back, and went to sleep.

"What's this all about?" Justine ran over to find commotion.
"No idea, but it probably has to do with Kaa..." Captain said.

The team did a systems check on Torengo's bloodstream.
"Arg, the analysis says it's because of a type of poison..." Captain observed.
"It must have been from poison injected into his bloodstream when Kaa bit him," Said Randy Man.
"We need to get an antidote, and quickly," Said Skippy. "I'll do it," Said Randy Man.

Randy Man ran off into the vast outside to look for an antidote. He looked at his picture, then what lay in front of him. "Is this it?" He asked himself. Randy Man took a closer look at the antidote, but then crunching noises behind him could be heard.
"MINE!" A small animal jumped in front of Randy Man and snatched the antidote from his sight.
"What the..." Randy Man began. It's not everyday he sees a small creature jumping out of bushes.
"Mine..." the animal made am evil noise.
"Hey, I recognize you...you're one of those experiments, aren't you? Like Stitch!" Randy Man rationed with the creature.
"Experiment 259." The animal blurted out.
"Here, follow me, I have to show you to everyone! Maybe you can help us with something, and answer some questions." Randy Man showed the creature the path, and reluctantly, it followed, muttering something to itself.

"Guys! GUYS!" Randy shouted. He had brought Experiment 259 back to Skippy's room.
"What in the world?..." Skippy said.
"Me Experiment 259! Me in search of 626! He cousin!!!"
"Skippy, didn't you say something about all the Galactic Federation being locked up in the Galactic Prison?" Justine asked.
"Yeah, but..."
"Then we shall help this poor creature!" The Captain cried. "259, will you help save our friend if we help you find 626?"
"Yes!! Yess! Me has antidote with Jumba!!"
"Then what are we waiting for?" Eye asked. "Let's go!"
"Um, okay, but I-"
"Come on, slowpokes!" Stitch said.
They set out for Tomorrowland.

The heroes were soon at the Tomorrowland Hub. They admired the beauty of the Second-Generation technology, and they soon found themselves outside of Stitch's Great Escape.
"Think he's in there?" Asked Randy Man.
"Arg, it says his name plainly on the board!" Said the Captain, slapping his face with disgust.
"He is there!" Said Experiment 259. "Let's take a look," Said Skippy, with a shudder that he would be going once more to the Galactic Federation.
________________
After they entered the doors, they went into the holding cell, where another experiment was being held. The name was Experment 606, the experiment that could create a Black Hole. "Good thing he's locked up..." Muttered Justine. Just then, a siren blew, announcing there was a Level 4 in the holding bay. All the "recruits", as it said, were to enter that holding cell.
When they were all inside, they figured out it was 626 who was the one in the holding bay.
626 recognized his team and called out to them. The team blasted through the bubble he was in, and got him out safely.
________________
"Ok, 626, we need you to tell us where Jumba is so we can get an antidote for Torengo," Said Skippy.
"Follow me," Replied 626, leading them underground...

"I hate going in there. It brings back horrible memories." Skippy said, shaking.
"What kind of memories?" Eye asked.
"It's a long story," Skippy replied.
"Well, we have a long walk," Eye challenged.
"Fine. I was born in the time of the Galactic Wars. The Rebels were winning, and they conquered the planet I lived on. I was merely a month old when they stormed my city, and they ruthlessly killed my parents. I was then sent to a Galactic Prison. 2 years later, the Federation won and the galaxy was saved. They had files on all prisoners in the prisons... most of which were innocent and merely captured. These prisoners were released, and all prisons morphed into the Galactic Federation Prison. Since I was so young, they did not have a file on me. So I grew up in that horrible Series tube thingy. I had no education, and I was hardly fed. Eventually, I learned to speak and told the Grand Council Woman what had happened as she passed. She let me out and told me the date."
Skippy paused.
"I had been falsely imprisoned for 14 years."

"Fourteen years!!! That's mutiny!" Replied Captain with fire of hate in his eyes.
"Why are you against prison so much, Captain?" Asked Randy Man, assuming he also had a story to tell. "Well... it looks like we do have a lot more time, so I'll tell ye what happened."
The Captain cleared hias throat in prearation for his story. "I was a mere cabin boy," Started the Captain, looking straight ahead as if he remembered eveything as if it were right in front of him. "I was doing me duites one day, the daily washing of the Captain's cloak, when the Captain oredered everyone on his deck. He was preparing to attack the enemy, the dreaded Pirates from the South. I was only twelve, then, not old enough to fight. But, this still meant everyone on board had as much vigor as an eagle about to catch his prey. Everyone was abuzz with excitement, preparing themselves for the perilous journey.
"Two weeks later, we had arrived to our enemies base. Everyone was about to drop off the deck, when cannon fire struck our right flank. The enemy knew we were coming. We quickly landed and everyone who was fighting quickly got off the boat.
We were losing, and I knew it. Too many on our side were falling. Soon, the enemy came aboard the boat. I was still on the boat, and I was captured.
"I was imrisoned for ten years. Not as bad as fourteen, but we were forced to do hard labor, for a wee bit of food - some hard old bread, stale meat, and some water. We had to clean every single boat, wash their clothes, everything! They finally let all of us go, after the ten years... All that work, and I hadn't even done anything to them."

"Well..." Muttered Randy Man, "This seems like a life-story time, so... here it is."
"I was a small child," Started Randy Man. "I was dropped into a pot of liquid kryptonite. After I was pulled out, I started having special powers. My parents sent me to Sky High to learn how to control these powers. I eventually learned, and had a few battles with villains. I decided to come to this place, and that's where I met you guys. Not much of a life story, huh?"
"Did getting dropped in the kryptonite pot hurt?" Asked Skippy. "Kind of, but it was OK," Replied Randy Man.
"Arg, I think we're almost there," Said Captain.

The allies continued their walk into they came to a large circular building.
"Is this the place, 259?" Stitch asked.
"Yes! Yes! Jumba be here!!"
259 trotted inside, followed by 626, and the others bringing up the rear. They ran through a few nondescript halls, and finally into a chemistry laboratory.
"Jumba!! Jumbaa!! Someone needs antidote!!"
"Not now, 259, I'm busy."
"Oh plz plz Plz pzlz plzlz pzlzl z plz pzlz pelaseaes!!!!!"
"Fine." A small pink container flew over a shelf, and Justine caught it.
"Come on, we need to revive Tangora." Skippy said. "Thanks for your help, 259!"
"No problems, no problems."
The allies began their walk back to the Cafe.

While walking back to the Cafe from the Tomorrowland Area, Captain asked Eye, "So, what is your story? How did you get here?"
"I don't like to talk about it..." Eye said, "but for you guys, I will tell you."
"In my own town, I was a man of many talents: a fast runner, swimmer, a smart thinker, and mostly anything else; I was the best person in my town. One talent in particular was that I was able to raise both of my eyebrows at different times. People gave me the name EyeBrowKid which they used more often than my original name. One day, many people became jealous because of my talents, so they gathered as an angry mob and chased me out of the town that I lived in peacefully for my life until that day. Now I refuse to use most of my skills, and now I am a wanderer, go from one town to another, looking for a nice place to stay. When I came to the Cafe, that is how I met all of you. Then, you guys know the rest."
"Wow." Skippy said, "So you haven't found the town you are looking for yet?"
"Not yet, but hopefully soon."
Everyone continued to the Cafe, until they finally stopped at the door and then ran inside to help there friend, Tangora.

Tangora! We have the antidote!" Justine handed the container to him as they got inside the VMK Cafe.
"Wuh..wuh..what?" Tangora asked.
"The antidote! This is what will help you get better." Skippy stepped in front and encouraged Tangora to take the contents inside the container.
"But I'm fine, really..." Tangora got up and shook his leg out.
"But you'll be even better if you take this!" the others announced.
"Just give me a minute, okay?" Tangora walked outside to take a breather.

"What's up with him?" Justine asked in surprise. "Why would he be against something to cure him?"
"That's for him to know; and us to find out." Randy Man answered.
"Maybe there's something behind this antidote that's bugging him..." Captain thought. The heroes stared out in the direction that Tangora was walking to.

Tangora continued to walk, and then suddenly stopped. He began to glow... green! He stood abseloutley still, and a huge gusts of wild whirled around him. He began to float upwards, and then he turned to face the group.
"Iiiiii Dooooo NoTTT Neeeed thaaaat Annntidottteeee!!!!" he cried.
"Oh my goodness," Skippy said. "It's Kaa! Kaa has possesed Tangora!!"
"But Skippy," the shaking captain said. "Kaa has no control over the wind."
"Perhaps... it's something else..."
Tangora was glowing green more than ever, wind swirling. He screamed.
""HELP ME!!!"

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" Screamed Tangora, as he started to bulge from pressure.
"He's about to blow up!" Yelled Randy Man over the wind.
"Wind, wind, wind... Could possibly be Chernabog!!!" Yelled Captain to the team.
"Yes, it's Chernabog!!!" Yelled Tangora, only with the voice of Chernabog. "I have come for revenge!"
"Revenge? What does he mean?" Asked Justine.
"Uh... heh, that be one thing I didn't tell ye..." Said Captain.
"Great, another arch-enemy!" Yelled Randy Man.
Skippy's stomach rumbled. "Uh oh..." Said Skippy.
Skippy belched his plasma into the winds. The winds slowed slowly, then stopped all together.
Tangora fell to the ground. A spirit flew from him, leaving Tangora unconscious.
"Now would be a good time for that potion..." Said Skippy.
They had Tangora drink the liquid after they took him back into Skippy's room.
"We should probably go over what we know," Said Justine.
"We know Villains be after us," Informed Captain, "And that the Villains we have encountered are Jack Sparrow, Maleficent, Kaa, Shere Khan, and Chernabog."
"We know that there are Chosens, Dark Ones, and there is a Cauldron..." Continued Skippy.
"So what's next?" Asked Randy Man.
"I don't know, Randy Man..." Replied Skippy, "I just don't know..."

Justine looked at the spiritless Tangora, lying on the ground. "Well one thing's for sure, there's gonna be lots more for us to enounter for a while..."
"At least we have Skippy's plasma for future purposes!" Captain patted Skippy on the back, and he spit out his last bit of plasma for the time being. "What are we going to do about Tangora?"
"We can't just leave him here, that's certain. If we take him somewhere, the spirits and villains will follow us, doing much more damage." Skippy concluded.
"He can't just be left here!" Randy Man exclaimed.
"Right. So, what's our limited options?" Justine asked the group.
Everyone looked down at Tangora.

"Options, options, options..." Said Randy Man.
"I know!" Captain had a spark. "Let's go to Chernabog's land and get his spirit back!"
"Good idea," Said Skippy, "He's bound to have gone there."
The team found a teleporter to Chernabog's world, and entered cautiously...

As they stepped out of the teleporter, fire fell from the sky all around them. Suddnely, a poor, helpless frog limps over to the others. His leg was badly wounded and he needed some medical attention. Skippy picked up the poor frog and poured some of his water over him. "Is he going to live?" said CaptainZeke. "I don't know" said skippy. "We better bring him along," said Captain. "Alright," chimed skippy. They entered what seemed like a glowing fire ring. They crossed over a bridge, which went over a lake of fire. As soon as they made it over, they saw Chernabog.

"WHO GOES THERE?" A booming sound came from inside the land and caused the heroes to jump.
"Chernabog?" Skippy asked in a kind, yet frightened tone.
"Of course it's the Chernabog! Who else do you expect to be in the 'Chernabog's Land'?" the Chernabog said with an evil chuckle.
"Right, yes you're right. We've come in search for..." Justine searched her brain for a creative suggestion that even the Chernabog couldn't resist. "...a tutorial on how to be evil! We've given up the whole hero thing, you know."
"Good children! You're learning; Heroes are BAD NEWS." the Chernabog ranted. Come, follow me... As the Chernabog continued to talk about how being villainous is definitely the way to go, Captain snuck around the other way to see if he could find Tangora's soul.
"If I were an evil villain, where would I hide captured spirits?" Captain asked himself. He looked up to a tall door in front of him. "Oh right, ' Captured Spirits Room '" he read off of the sign. Silently, he ran in and searched through the spirits. "T...T...where is the T section?" After rambling on, he found Tangora's spirit and quietly tip-toed his way out.

"Evil Tip #39; NEVER trust another villain. They'll come back and backstab you, and you'll lose your evil reputation" the Chernabog read from his "Evil for Dummies" book. The team of heroes looked at eachother, and Justine looked back to see how Captain was doing. Captain was motioning for the team to follow behind a back door.
"Come on!" he whispered.
Justine tried to think of a witty remark to get the team away from the land. "Wow, I've learned so much! Thanks for all your help, Chernabog, but we really gotta run. Can't trust anyone on when dinner is now, can I?" She made a face at herself. What a strange comment.
"Yes, you children go and do that. Stop by anytime - I have much more to tell you!" He smiled a deathly grin and waved to the heroes.

"Phew, that was close!" Captain held up the spirit for everyone to see. "But at least I got it."
"Great! Now all we have to do is..." Randy Man started to say, until a dark shadow covered them.
"It's not going to rain today, and I know that." Eye said.
"YOU BROKE INTO MY LAND?!" the Chernabog boomed, like when they entered. Again, it didn't sound peaceful.
"Looks like we have some more problems in our way..." Justine shook.

Arg, so close!" Said the Captain bitterly, as he stowed the spirit into his pouch.
"If only, if only, the woodpecker sighs, there was a thing of Cherry Whiskey right in front of my eyes..." Sang Skippy.
"Oh! I remember! We still have some cherry whiskey..." Captain pulled a file of Cherry Whiskey out of his pouch. "Drink up Skippy, quickly!"
Skippy took in the whole vile, and began to gag. A few moments later, Skippy belched some of his famous plasma right onto Chernabog.
"AAHH! So STICKY!!! And it's also... making me... MELT!!!" Yelled Chernabog in pain.
Well, that's the last we'll see of him..." Said Randy Man as Chernabog's ooze slowly creeped to his feet.
"Hurry, guys, We need to give Tangora his spirit back!" Said Skippy.
____________
The team quickly returned through the teleporter and found themselves back in Skippy's room. They gave Tangora his spirit, which made him wake up. After that, the team talked about what to do next...

"I think," Skippy said, "It's time to check out the castle."

The team traveled to the park hub, where the Castle was located. They took one look at the Castle, and instantly knew something was very, very wrong.
"OK, first of all, I thought the windows weren't supposed to be broken. Second of all... why the heck is it GREEN?!?" Said Randy Man.
"Arg, the windows aren't supposed to be cracked, and it's not supposed to be green!" Said the Captain, shaking his head.
The team traveled to the Castle entrance. The door was shattered off it's hinges, and the wood was splintered.
"Well, sure-fire sign that someone is in here..." Said Justine.
The team started to climb up the stairs to the tallest spire. All the while, a shadowy figure was following their every step...

Oh, don't tell me." Skippy reluctantly turned his head slowly and was faced by...wait, where was it?
"It's a tall shadow, where's the creature?" Justine looke back with Skippy.
"I really have no idea."
"Great, so you're saying we have an invisible creature with a shadow following us?"
"Possibly."
Captain turned around and searched up and down for the shadow. "Justine's right. I don't see it anywhere!"
"This is getting spooky..." Randy Man said.
"Maybe it went back down the stairs, but do we really want to find it?" Skippy questioned.
"We should just continue, if it's looking for us then it'll follow us along the way." Justine suggested. The others nodded in agreement, and the team continued up the stairs.

"RWARRRRRR!!" Out of the silence, a deranged animal could be heard from downstairs, and the sound was getting closer!
"RUN!!" The stairs were in a tight place, so the heroes scattered up as fast as they could. On the way, Skippy tripped on one of the steps.
"Skip!" Captain ran back and tried to grab Skippy, but the animal got there first. He took Skippy in his large, slimy claw, and ran back down the stairs. Captain made a quizzical, and confused face in horror as he saw Skippy and the animal scamper away.
"What was that?!" Eye exclaimed.
"It was a green, slimy creature! Like what happened to Tangora, and the others!" Captain shouted in shock.
"Well, you know what we gotta do; let's go get Skippy back!" Justine concluded, and the team made their way down the stairwell.
"Ah, the fun never ends, does it?" Randy Man said, as he panted.

"Let me GO!!!" Skippy cried as he was taken down the stairs.
"No!! Me masters say they need you!!!" the slimy animal cried.
"Who are your masters??"
"The DaRk OnEs!!!"
The creature carried Skippy into a dungeon, and then into a circular room. VILLAINS were waiting there for him. Jafar, Alameda, Chernabog, the Evil Queen, Prince John, Gaston, Ursala, Cruella, Queen of Hearts, all of them. Noticeably missing was Kaa.
"Me bring Skippy, masters!!"
"Good boy, said Maleficent as she walked into the room. "Well, well, well, Skippy..." Maleficent said as she strolled around him in circles. You have broken into the Bald Mountain, lair of Chernabog," Chernabog grunted in disgust at the mention of this. "You have visited the realm of Woozieness, and killed most of our Pink Elephants, and you have killed our spy, Kaa!! Well, that will soon change. Come see what we're brewing.
The villains began to swirl around a large black cauldron. Skippy, shaking, began to walk closer and closer to the cauldron. A bony and devilish hand burst from the bubbling brew. Skippy dared to peer in. Inside he could see the bare outline of a face. He screamed, and fell unconsious.

"We must go back for him!" Said Capain.
"We will, right now!" Said Justine.
The team began to go back down the stairs. They looked all over for a secret door.
"Found it!" Said Tangora.
The trap door - surprisingly - was in the ceiling. Randy Man found a ladder, and brought it to the secret door. The team went up the ladder, and found themselves in a dark hallway.
"Wonder why they put this here..." Said Captain.
They walked along, making sure to make as little noise as possible. Soon on their walk, they found a trail of slime.
"That... thing was here," Said Justine.
The team followed the trail of slime. They found the trail continuing under a door.
They all put their ears to the door. They could hear booming voices on the other sides.
"I know we're short on time, but the Cauldron needs to boil!" Argued Maleficent. "Well, hurry with the boiling then!!!" Boomed Chernabog.
"Quit the chit-chat, you two. I'm going for a walk..." Said Alameda.
"Uh oh..." Said Captain. The team hid inside a doorway, waiting for Alameda to pass. Then they entered the room.
"STOP!!!" Yelled Randy Man. He soared above everyone and shot glowing beams at the Villains to distract them. He managed to take out Ursula and Gaston.
While Randy Man was attacking from above, Captain started to fire with his Zoozka blaster at all the Villains to stun them. Justine managed to get Skippy out of the room, and went into hiding to protect Skippy until he woke.
The team kept up the fight, and managed to reduce Gaston, Ursula, the Queen of Hearts, and Prince John to a thick slime.
"We won't be able to keep this up!!!" Yelled Tangora to the others.
"Good point! Start to retreat!" Yelled Captain.
The team started to file out of the room. They still, however, kept up the barrage of fire while exiting the room. They found Skippy had awoke with Justine, and was ready to retreat. The team ran out of the hallway, got out of the hidden doorway, and started to get down the steps.
On their way down, the team met up with Alameda Slim.
"Hey, what are you - AH!!!" Yelled Alameda, as Captain stunned him.
The team retreated back to Skippy's room, which appeared to be a temporary base due to it's constant visiting.
____________
The team rested a few days. Finally, Tangora built up the courage to ask Skippy what he had seen. "Well... OK, I'll tell you..."

"What I saw was villainous, none the less. All of them were here, as you know. Maleficent seemed to be leading it all, with Ursula, Cruella, Alameda, Jaraf, Chernabog - everyone helping behind him. They...brought me down here, and told me how I broke into the Chernabog's land, brought Kaa to the death, and everything that's happened this past while. They threatened to drop me into that bubbling pit..." Skippy pointed over to the cauldron.
"That's awful! Are you okay?" Justine asked in panic.
"Yeah, I think so. No more feeling ill...it's just...it's just..." Skippy's eyes began to glow a bright green.
"Oh no!" Randy Man shouted. "He's gone villain crazy!"

Captain instantly dashed down the stairs into the main part of the cafe. "Where's he going?" Asked Tangora. "Maybe he's just scared..." Said Randy Man.
"Must... Destroy... TEAM!!!" Yelled Skippy in a deep tone.
Captain suddenly appeared back in the doorway. "Skippy, don't do it!!!" He yelled. He stuffed a 2-Liter bottle of Cherry Whiskey into Skippy's mouth. Skippy swallowed the entire thing - bottle and all. Skippy's eyes slowly returned to normal, and he began to sway back and forth. He toppled over.
"Uh... Is he dead?" Asked Randy Man.
Captain punched Skippy in the gut. He belched his famous slime. "Uh... What happened?" Asked Skippy. "I blacked out for a moment..."
You were about to destroy us," Replied Justine, "But Captain made you chug a 2-Liter bottle of Cherry Whiskey."
"Oh... No wonder there's that plasma all over the floor," Said Skippy, woozily.

Chapter 3

Skippy awoke on the fifth morning to hear an unfamiliar voice. The person that the voice belonged to wasn't anyone that had been in the cafe before. Or at least while he was there.
`Must be an .. old friend or something.' He thought. `Yeah thats it an old friend.' JUst then a long crash then bang sounded through out the building.
" What are you doing here? You .. Know.. the...."
" So you still working here in this.. dump of a place you call a cafe? Or are you still coming in for the sick owner?" Said the voice.
Skippy edged to the edge of the stairs peering around the edge.

Along the street towards the cafe walked young bestjurassicpark. He recently finished a fine game of pirates and... Beaten everyone who challenged him. He pulled out his backpack and saw the stacks of credits from the game in his backpack. He smirked to himself and said: " This'll be plenty for that steamboat guest room. " He arrived at the cafe, and tried to open the door, for the bartender owed him either 10,000 credits or a place to stay for a card game they played together. The door was locked. " Shoot! " Best said. He kicked the door down and tried to find out what was going on, because he realized that the cafe shouldn't be closed. He walked into the cafe, walked behind the bartender's area, and opened a door where their card room was. " Where did he go? " All of a sudden.. CRACK! Best blacked out.

Skippy new soemthimg was wrong he wanted to go down there but something kept him in place. The person who was there before had left or was in another part of the cafe. NOw a new person in the others place.
" Get up!!Get up!!" he said to the team.
"Five more minutes" captain zeke said.
" NO!! NOt five more minutes. There are many ppl downstairs that arent usually here while i am here."
Seeing that they weren't going to get up skippy flew down the stairs.
" AH so that's where you are!!" said the womans voice who skippy had thought had left." You can come with me. I can take care of you."
" NO you ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THAT!!!" said best.
" Watch me!!" said the girls voice. Then a soft poof sound was there.
She left thought skippy. But what about him? Skippy new what he had to do. What ever that thing was he had to get help. It wasn't just some glass or soda because They were ion the private room. Which is where the bartender happened to keep the rare items.Skippy, even though best was still there, Made a mad dash for the door.
He went to the store, if that is what you wanted to call it, two blocks down the road. Inside a girl was sitting in a chair rubbing a diamond ball. Skippy found this place while he was out one day although he didnt think it would become of use. "Hello." came the voice "welcome to my shop of fortunes"
" Hi I am.." "Skippy. I have been waiting for you. You seek to find a person. A person who stole from the cafe two blocks down. Yes?"
"Yes!!" said Skippy.
" I can help you only with some of it." She said." But first my name is Hauntedbubbles the fortune teller."
" Can you come backand help.. me ?" asked Skippy. "Yes i just need to close the shop."
Once the shop was closed Skippy and bubbles set down the road twards the cafe.
"Guys Guys!! I found a fortune teller amd she knows almost everything" Skippy had said because by now they were all awake.
"Skippy slow down and tell us all about it."
"Ok. This morning i got up and heard lots of voices. ok two but anyways they weren't ones that i knew so i went down to see what was happening and then some girl stole a rare thing and then dissapeared. SO i went to find her to help us with this problem and our others."
" Aye welcome aboard matey." said captain Zeke.
"Thank you .. is it captain zeke?"

Best stood there, dazzled... He ran upstairs into the visitors room and saw eye. " AH!!! ROBBER!!!" Exclaimed eye. " No, no! It's just a..." WHAM! Before he knew it best was on the ground outside. Apparently the person who thought he was a robber threw him out the window. " Ah, That seemed like a person who lets people explain, " Best said haughtily as he got up. CREEK! best was on the ground again. Eye got out of the apatment and had an angry mob follow him. People started yelling thingts at best. Best, well, he was just confused. A man with a pitchfork exclaimed : "OTOH!" whatever that meant. All of a sudden he was surrounded in odd jubberish such as words like: gonion, otoh afaic! 20K! Best screamed, ran into the cafe/apartment, and dashed into skippy's room. He heard many people talking about cauldrons, chosen ones and excetra. " Aye, you want to join us? " " Sure, it's alot better then the people yelling jibberish at me from outside..."

"As I was saying when Skippy and... bestjurrasicpark, is it?... Came in, We need to devise a plan," Said Randy Man.
"Arg, I say this be a good idea," Said Captain.
The tewam discussed ways they could sneak up on the Dark Ones and destroy their base, while trying to keep the Castle in one piece. They needed a way to enter quickly and quietly. They discussed possible ways to achieve this, but still could not find a way to do it without a problem. Then Randy Man had an idea:
"How about we find a way in through the back...???" He suggested.
"Arg, did I mention there be many different attatchments for me hook?" Asked Captain to the team. He pulled out a drill, hooked it to his arm, and spun it a few times.
"I think we have found a solution..." Said Skippy with deep thought.

Reekster entered the cafe. He was an odd sight, at first glance. He was wearing a dusty black tuxedo, with golden ears proudly worn on his head. As he entered the cafe, all eyes in the cafe rested on him for about 5 seconds, before turning away back to their business. The reason for this may have been that, even though he was wearing a tux, he was standing on a skatreboard, with the VMK logo on the bottom. He picked up his board, and strolled to the bar. He strode straight to the bartender, and said, "Hey. Give me some soda, please." The bartender bustled off and got him his drink. He bustled off to a table, enjoying his drink and pondering where his next destination was gonna be.

bestjurassicpark came up with the most ingenious idea. He decided to... Go to the castle by himself. He walked and walked until he was there, and malifi- oh whatever you get it..., anyway, malific-... tried to battle best. And best touched her and she... combusted. He thought he was all powerful but he found out that she didnt combust, she teleported to the secret area. He walked up some stairs, until a bat flew by. " BAT BAT BAT! " best whimpered. He jumped out the window falling 40 stories flat on his face, and of course, blacked out.

Best woke up. He heard odd flapping noises and his arms hurt. He realized he was a bat! " ah!!" It was only a dream. He woke up and ran to jungle cruise and got on a boat to... to... to... uh... Well, he didnt know yet. He just wanted to get the heck off of adventureland. He got on is boat and drove as fast as he could. He saw someone behind him, who... who... who... Threw him off the boat. " I hate these drops! " Best fell and fell.

"Arg, I think it be time to raid the castle," Suggested Captain. "Yes, let's do it while we're at full strength," Suggested Skippy. The team began to travel towards the Castle, awaiting anything that stood in their way...

"Uh, guys?" Skippy said as he sat on the bed. All the others were packing supplies into explorer suitcases.
"Yeah, Skip?" Stitch asked.
"Um... never mind."
Justine knew something was wrong. Nonetheless, they set off for the castle. Walking up the front steps, Skippy leaped in front of the door, blocking it off.
"What're you doing, Skippy?" Randyman asked.
"We can't go in there!" Skippy cried.
"Why ever not, Skip?" The captain asked with a quizzical look on his face.
"I...I didn't exactly reveal everything I saw in that cauldron."
"Spit it out, then, Skippy!!" the captain raged.
"I think it was the dream come true. The dream... remember? With the cauldron? The villains called it the Black Cauldron. I think the pieces are comign together. The villains are the Dark Ones. We are the chosens. And we have to stop whatever is in that cauldron."
"But what IS in that cauldron, Skip?" Tangora asked anxiously.
"I think," Skippy began, "that the lost villain is in there. The villain so powerful, that he cannot be stopped. So powerful, that he wasn't stopped in his movie."
"But who meets these requirements? All the villains were stopped somehow. Gaston... Queen of Hearts... Kaa! This makes no sense..." mumured Justine.
"I know, Justine," Skippy muttered, looking down. "I know."

"He probably wants revenge from us calling him a side-kick villian or whatever we called him." Stitsch said thoughtfully.
"Good guess." They all agreed in a chime.
"But Kaa... how could he be most powerful if we defeated him twice?"
"I think I know that answer," Said Skippy.
All eyes went on him.

Kaa is dead," Skippy said. "I know that for sure. The villains said it themselves. But I think, in that pot, is their blood. Their blood is evil energy. Why would Gaston and such have been taken down by such a weak stunner weapon? I think it's because they have lost blood. They have each donated a mix of evil energy.
"Which together..." Eye inquired.
"With it, whatever inside is being strengthened. Quickly. Say, where is that frog you found, Justine?"
"Oh, shoot! I left him in my pocket..." She checked her pocket, and found the little frog sleeping like... well, a frog.
"Good thing he's alright, I kinda forgot about him." Justine said.
"Say, who is that?" the Captain suddenly asked.
"Where?" Stitch crazily replied.
"There! Behind that square tree!" cried Tangora.
"Yeah, I see him now," said bestjurassic park.
"Think he knows anything?" Randyman asked Skippy.
"I'm not sure... but we're gonna find out!"

The team found the shadowy figure running away. "Stop!" Yelled Randy Man.
"He's not going to stop if you yell it out..." Said Skippy, rolling his eyes.
All of a sudden, the person tripped. The team caught up. "Arg, what be your business?" Asked the Captain.
"Nothing you should know..." Said the person. He took out a magic staff, hit it upon the ground, and dissapeared inside a magic bubble.

"Arg, looks like we be on the hunt again..." Said Captain with a sigh.
"There's no time," Said Skippy, "We need to attack now if we hope to suceed."
"I agree. let's go!" Said Justine.

The team began to travel again to the castle. Due to having full strength, the team was almost there. All of a sudden, they came across the figure entering the castle.

"There he is again!" Said Captain.
"Keep your voice down," Said Tangora, "don't let him hear you."
"I think that he's a spy for the Dark Ones," Said Skippy with a frown. "I suggest we take him out of the picture."
The team thought up a plan to make the spy fall to his knees...

"Wait! Wait!! I'm not a spy!" The mysterious figure cried. He removed his hood, revealing a boy.
"My name is reekster! I always hang around the castle!! Please don't hurt me!! Like those villains did..."
"We aren't going to hurt you," Skippy said. "But what about villains? Did they hurt you??"
"Yes Mr. Alien..."
"Skippy."
"Yes, Skippy, they captured me and took some of my blood. Then they through me out the door and warned me to stay away."
"Why would they want his blood?" Skippy asked. "His blood isn't evil."
"Well... I did scam a few guests a while back," the boy admitted.
"That explains it." Eye said.
The Captain sighed. "What's your name, landlubber?"
"Reekster, Mr. Captain."
"Call me Zeke."
"Sure thing!"
"Sorry to interrupt your touching bonding moment, guys," Randyman said. "But we are still being stalked by evil villains here!!"
"Right," Bestjurassicpark said. "We need to get going."
"Wait! You can't leave me out here! The villains might come again!" Reekster cried.
"Come with us," Justine said gently. "We'll protect you."
"We will?" Stitch asked quizzically. Justine shot him a look.
"Oh, right! Right! Of course we will, uh, reekster."
"Good. Let's get going," Skippy said, and they continued to the castle doors...

Chapter 4

"So, uh . . why again are we going IN the castle, Skippy?" asked Reekster, sounding a bit less scared. "Quite simple, my friend, quite simple. We need to..."
"...strangle those dark ones, scorch their bodies, and throw them into the ring of fire!!!!" The captain raged. He was glowing a gel-ish orange.
"Um... you alright, captain?" Randyman asked.
"You know what? YOU KNOW WHAT???" The captain screamed. "You've been being a smart aleck too long, RANDYDUPE!!!!"
The captain ran up to Randyman, and pinned him to a wall, breathing heavily.
In a few seconds, his arms dropped, Randyman fell to the ground, and the orange glow faded.
"Whoah." Stitch said.

---
Reekster's eyes grew big. He frantically started digging through his inventory, looking for something. (His inventory is basically his backpack.)
Best went back into the cafe, because the story was getting outta hand. " boy, this is confusing... It seems like skippyskippy is mixing me up with reekster..." " Come to the dark side " Said the bartender. " What the... " Best was highly confused... " Best heard a Darth-Vader-Style breathing... " Ok..." Best ran out of the cafe and walked over to a sign that said: Live the future: Tomorrowland Coming soon! " wow... It's finally gonna be open! " Best put his bird hat on. All of a sudden thousands of guests piled on top of him! " Me want bird give or me report " said a guest called: guest 190849057347592 " I want give now " said a girl. Best got a trade request. It was from a guest. He offered 15 pink doors, probably not matching. " No way! " Best exclaimed. The guest reported him and HOST_Babs came to check the situation. Best did nothing so the host told the guest to leave best alone. All of a sudden, the angry mob was back. " Oh, No! " Best turned into a bat using the pin to get away. Best ended up in the middle of a falling chairs game. But, for some reason, Malifiscent owned it. Alot of people said things like: owner not here. so, I tried to leave and... A trade request popped up. Would you like to trade with Malifiscent? " Maybe she has a good offer for my bird..." VMK administration: Bestjurassicpark added seagull's nest pirate hat. VMK administration: Malifiscent added dancing inferno magic. Vmk administration: Malifiscent added Stitch hat. " Whoah. " " All you have to do is come with me and it's all yours.." The envelope flashed when the trade closed. Would you like to be friends with malifiscent? " Ok! " The message sound chimed. " Follow me," said malifiscent. Best followed to malifiscent's malifiscent's evil fortress guest room. It had tester furniture and 30 aslan teleporters. " I'm a tester. " she said Best was horrified, because her eyes started to glow red... " Thanksokaybye!" best talk-mumbled. He ran past prisoners trapped in room dividers. " She's a Hacker! " one of them said " Oh my..." Best found himself bound in room dividers. " Great! "
"Aha!" Reekster whispered.
He pulled out a potion, drinking a sip quickly.
"Drink. No time to ask."
After they all confusingly drank, they all felt the same.
Stitch's eyes appeared red, though. Nobody noticed.
"Okay, guys. Some villians have been posessing us. The potion put a villian shield on us."
Stitch started to twitch. "G-G-Guys! Help! NOW YOU WILL DIE! Guys get him out!"
Reekster realized what happened immediately. "Right when Stitch drank, a villian posessed him. Now, the villian is stuck, leaving poor Stitch half alright and half villian."
"So.. what do we do?"
"I'm not sure," Reekster said saidly. "He might be like this forever."
"Not on my watch" murmered Skippy.
Skippy talked to the group about having to beat Stitch up to get him to puke the villain out. The team started to punch Stitch in the gut continuously, until he threw up. A villain spirit lifted into the sky.
"Arg, they have found a way to control us..." Said the Captain.
"Why didn't Stitch act up as much as you, Captain?" Asked Randy Man.
"Arg... I guess I should be telling ye about me curse I had..." Said the Captain with sorrow.
Captain began: "I was in me first days as a pirate captain. I was sailing along, heading for Skull Rock to pick up some treasure I left there for safe keeping. All of a sudden, a flock of bats came flying about. One of them took a bite out of me. I figured it would be nothing, but as the full moon came about..." The Captain trailed off. "I started having a ghost attack where I kept on destroying lots of stuff. In one of the times I was back to me old self, I was able to shock most of the ghost out of me with my stunning blaster. Apparently a bit of it is still inside of me; enough to make those attacks enhanced."
"Well, enough of the chit-chat. We're almost to the trap door," Announced Reekster.
"There has to be some kind of exit to get outside the spire..." Said Skippy.
The team looked around for an exit to get outside. They eventually found one, and grappled the top of the spire. The Captain found the spot on the wall where the Villains were, and went to work with his drill...
Bestjurassicpark found the most obvious thing blocking his way. a lamp. " how dumb am I to see that a lamp is blocking my escape?! " best picked up the lamp and threw it. Best ran toward a teleporter that lead to the land of I dont know where I'm goin'. So, best teleported...and met...an empty room. well, somewhat empty room. It was a everest room, and it was chilly.He walked out, and fell 50,000 virtual feet to the esplanade. No one was there. " Odd. People usually get off and on the monorail here. " best walked to main street and into the sci-fi dine in. There, he met the mysterious criminals at the beginning of the story. They were terrorizing best's friends by throwing cars at them somehow. " Hey! Stop! " " what did you say?! " Best couldnt tell what the voice was since it kept changing. the ' what ' in the voice sounded nice, but the rest sounded evil. " Leave them alone " ZAP! Best realized he was being kidnapped. The car was speeding. The driver was one of the villains from the start of the story. Best pulled out a stick. He whacked the driver and the car started to fishtail. " Look what you did, kid! You got the Virtual Magic Cops after me! " Best heard sirens. Then, the car crashed. For the driver, he virtually magically flew into the castle. " Ya-" " Sir, show me your driver's license. " " Uh, I was kidnapped! " The officer spoke into his microphone: " unit 8296 we have a stolen car. " " What?! " Best exclaimed. " I didnt do anything! I-I was..." Before best knew it he was in virtual magic jail. " Come on! " i didn't even do anything!
Suddenly, captain hit a hard spot. "Wha...?"
It started to glow.
"Oh great, you."
"Um... who?" Stitch said.
Captain fainted. He looked white. He then turned blue.
Pink. Green. Purple. etc.
"What is wrong with him?!?!" Stitch said.
"Oh no." Skippy said. "Oh no Oh no Oh no..."
"What!?" Randyman, Justine, and Stitch said at the same time.
"It's... it's..!"
"Spit it out, Skippy!" Eye cried.
With a shaking little tentacle-finger, he pointed down the hall past the others' backs. As he did this, his other hand reached down and pulled a bit of glowing slime that was latched on to the captain. As it was pulled off, he returned to normal, but was still dazed.
"Huffalumps and Woozles." Skippy breathed.

"Arg, I'm beginning to hate anything that has to do with some kind of relation to an elephant..." Muttered Captain.
"Any idea of how to stop them?" Asked Randy Man.
"Um...Does anyone have some honey?" Asked Skippy.
"I don't know why ye need it, but I have a little bottle of it," Replied Captain. He handed it over to Skippy.
"Heffalumps and Woozles love honey, so..." Skippy uncorked the bottle to let the scent out. The creatures began to stick their noses in the air and follow the scent. Skippy dropped the bottle, and the Heffalumpsand Woozles followed.
"That solves that problem," Said Randy Man.
"OK, now to find the other wall into their lair..." said Skippy.
The team went down the hallway and heard booming voices on the other side of the wall.
"I imagine this be where they are..." Said Captain as he took out his slower drill so he wouldn't make as much noise.
Captain began to drill, and the others prepared for the battle ahead...
The villains, on the other side of the wall, were planning.
"Ha!" Chernabog cried. "They think we can't hear that noisy drill!"
"Now, what's the plan?" Gaston asked again.
Maleficent sighed. "I've told you over and over, Gaston! As soon as they drill through, Chernabog will send rings of fire to trap all of them..."
Chernabog cast a glowing cruel smile.
"Then, then Ursala will grab the girl with her fire-resistant tentacles..."
"I've been practicing all day," Ursala said with a wicked smile.
"Once we have the girl, Alameda Slim will play his fiddle, so that the others won't remember a wink of this..."
Alameda readied his fanciful instrument.
"And finally, I will escort the chosens out the door."
"But what of the girl, Maleficent?"
Maleficent smiled. A wicked, evil smile. I smile that says, you don't want to know.
Best was annoyed. He was in jail with some guy name okah. " How'd you get in here? " asked Okah. " I got thrown in here for getting kidnapped." said Best. "I can get you outta here, kid, " Said Okah, " But you must not tell anyone I helped you. " "O.K! " exclaimed best. For a second best though Okah was playing an april fools prank on him, but then, the bars exploded. " whoah. " "Bye!" Best said quickly to Okah as he ran out of the prison. Okah stared confused, because he didnt do anything. Best ran to the castle trying to meet up with everyone. Then, A large dragon stepped in front of best. It was not malifiscent, just a dragon. " Grr! " said best. Best started to get so angry that the dragon, well... Exploded. " wow, am I making things explode? " Best ran toward the castle, and went up the wrong set of steps. he went up and up, until a cage fell on him. " Help! "
The plan worked perfectly. Justine was taken, the others were entranced. They were escorted back to the entrance to the Cafe, and the spell was lifted. All they THOUGHT they remembered was that they had all gone to the Sci-Fi dine in for dinner and a movie.
-
"That was a nice movie," Stitch commented.
"Yes, indeed," replied Eye.
"Arg! Of course it was nice! It was about pirates!" Captain happily cried.
"I liked the ending," Tangora said.
The friends walked up to Skippy's room, and lied down to relax.
"Wait a minute," Eye said. "Where the heck is Justine?"
"I don't know!" Randyman said.
"Think back," reekster said carefully. "What did we do when we left the cafe?"
"Let's see," Skippy said. "We went to the dine in... had some dinner... saw Pirates of the Caribbean II..."
"Wait!" Captain said. "That's it! The second movie isn't out yet!"
"Hey, yeah..." muttered Tangora. "I don't even remember what the ending was!"
"And I don't remember Justine being there at all," Randyman said, pacing.
"I think I'm remembering..." Eye said. "We were at... the castle! That was it! And we went in to stop the villains! But... there were drills... and fire... then... ugh. It's all so blurry..."
"Where oh where is Justine," Skippy murmured to himself.

---
Justine was shaking as the Villains guided her into their room. "Now, no need to be frightened, powerless one." Maleficent made a thoughtful gesture towards her.
"Powerless - excuse me? I can do more than you th--" She was cut off by Ursula wrapping her tentacle around her mouth. All Justine had left to do was to make hand figures, showing what she wanted to say.
"Sorry, what's that? I can't hear you with a tentacle over your talking hole!" Maleficent roared with laughter, and the others joined in.
"What...do..you...want from me?!" Justine managed to push the tentacle off her face.
"It's not really 'what we want from you', it's more 'what you can do for us'." Alameda stepped in. "You see, we're looking for your friends..."
"You're not getting ANYWHERE near them! You've caused enough trouble...all of you, you..." Justine couldn't think of what to say.
"Well, it could be beneficial for you, but if you don't want to know..."
"You brought it up - may as well tell me." She sighed.
"Okay. If you turn over one of your teammates to us, we will give you freedom as a chosen one. You will never have to encounter us, ever again." Maleficent told his master plan as if he was the big boss.
"What happens to my friend?"
"Oh, you'll see..." He turned his head over to a black, bubbling cauldron. "But if you don't, that's waiting for you."
That's the cauldron that Skippy saw when he was here! Justine thought to herself.
"So, what's your choice? Freedom, or that nice lookin' cauldron over there?"
"I pick...I pick..." Justine stood up straight in her spot, and...
"Oh, little one, we'll give you time!" Maleficent said with a grin on her face. "You have 24 hours to decide. And since there isn't a clock here..." Maleficent placed an hour-glass, filled with sand, and flipped it. "That will run out in exactly 24 hours. You will tell us your answer then."
"Excuse me, erm, Maleficent?" Scar asked.
"Yes, Scar?"
"Well, in the movies, the captured one always paces, screams, and does all that annoying stuff. Perhaps we should silence her?"
"Good idea." Maleficent flicked her fingers, and a gag appeared and tied itself around Justine's mouth. "Come to think of it," she said. "I don't want you making any daring escapes either." She flicked her fingers again, and two ropes flew in and bound Justine's hands and feet.
"Mmph!" Justine cried in vain.
"Ta, child," Maleficent said in a cackle as she and the other villains exited the room.

---
"So, what's your choice?" Captain held up a bag of Ruffles and Cheetos. "Which should we have?"
"I say...Ruffles!" Skippy grabbed the bag and teared it open.
"No, Cheetos!" Randy Man took the bag and stole the scissors from Skippy.
"Hey, that's mine!" They began in an ongoing fight over scissors, and taking turns.
Eye broke up the fight. "Woah woah woah! We have more important issues on our hands! Like where Jus...err...Justin! That's it, Justin! Where is he?"
"I believe the name is Justine, the girl," Tangora answered."Yeah, fine fine. Whoever they are, where is she? We got completely off topic!" Randy Man butted in. As he did, Skippy snuck behind him and stole the scissors.
"I'm starting to get concerned. I mean, someone could have taken her anywhere, and we don't even remember!" Randy Man scratched his head.
"Well, what do we know?" Skippy asked, stuffing a handful of Ruffles in his mouth.
"We know that she we--" Beep, beep, beep...
"What in the Carribbean is that?" Captain asked in question.
"Hey, looks like a timer!" Eye picked it up and began to shake it. "But look, it's timing something!"
"23:06...23:05..what's this supposed to mean?" Stitch stared at it.
"...I think that's how much time we have left to save Justin! Let's hurry, before someone takes her first! Who knows what they'll do?" Eye concluded.
"JUSTINE!" The rest shouted. Eye shrugged, and they started on their way to save their teammate.
Skippy had never felt this way before. It was... odd. He felt like a part of him was missing somehow. Perhaps it was this Justine girl. But oh! Skippy thought. I don't even remember who she is! Ugh...
The team continued their walk towards the castle. Skippy munched on his chips, and sipped cherry whiskey.
What could these odd feelings be? Skippy wondered. What? WHAT!?

"Ugh, here!" Justine talked to herself as she got her feet out of the wraps by squirming. She then tried to lift the ropes over her head. They were too tight to unravel. Justine then decided to put her hands between the rails of the chair, and break them apart with force. After a while, it actually worked.
"Phew - all in a days' work" She patted herself on the back.
As she got up to walk, she heard a voice. Quickly, she ran to a corner to hide. Was it the Villains? Had someone come to save her?
"JUSTIN! Oh JUSTIN!" Eye called again.
"For the last time man, it's JUSTINE!" the team remind him.
"...Gosh." He replied.
Reluctantly, Justine spoke. "G-g-guys?"
"Yeah?" Skippy ran up to her and got her standing. So this was who Justine was...
"Look, if we're gonna get out of here, we have to and FAST. The villains could be coming any minute now!" Justine whispered.
"What was that, child?" Maleficent heard the voices from upstairs and started to make her way down the stairs.
"RUN!" The team shouted and whispered, trying to scramble back towards the doors.
They ran as fast as they possibly could... but Scar was waiting for them at the entrance to the castle.
"Honestly, you thought you could escape that easily?" Scar laughed.
"I expected better of you, children," Malificent said as she glided in. "That escape attempt was pathetic."
"And now," Chernabog cackled as he flew in, "You will all suffer! MUAHAHAHA!!!"
"Starting, with you, Skippy," Maleficent said with an evil grin. She pulled out a long scythe (a magic wand of sorts). "Night night!" She muttered a spell and a blast of black and violet energy began to shock Skippy. He screamed. And screamed. His teammates watched with fear in their eyes.
"Please! Maleficent, stop!" Justine cried with a sob. "Take me instead!"
"You have proved yourself unworthy, girl!" Maleficent said with fury in her eyes, very focused on tormenting Skippy.
Then it happened.
Skippy's screams became roars. His eyes turned red. The energy, instead of shocking him, was being absorbed. Skippy floated upward.
"Oh, NO..." CaptainZeke said.
"Crud, he's going to do it again..." Tangora said.
"I.... WILL... NOT... BE.... TORMENTED.... ANY..... LONGER!!!!!!
"Take cover!" Randyman cried, and the entire team, sans Skippy, dived behind down a stone staircase.
"Take cover from what!?" Maleficent cried. She had still not lifted her gaze, and did not see what was happening to Skippy.
"Um, Maleficent...?" Gaston began.
Skippy blasted.
"Eww, gooey stuff!" Gaston stepped around the lime green mess. "Maleficent!!"
"Stop your whining. It's not like I know how little aliens act!" Maleficent groaned.
"Oh..my..gosh - look at him!" Justine ran to his hide to help an unconcious Skippy up. "Are you alright?"
"No more tormenting, no more tormenting..." he chanted quietly. Justine got him up and walked him over to the remaining teammates, still in shock.
"What happened to you?!" The team asked in unicin.
"That just happens to me when I get upset," Skippy said in a weak tone. "Doesn't happen often, but when it does, I tend to get really queasy..." He spat some remaining goo into the corner.
"Arg, we have to get him back to the Cafe. He needs to get better, and quick." Captain concluded. "There's more dangers to come."
"For sure." Eye added.
"Okay, that's set. We have to get back to the Cafe as soon as possible. But, we can't just run there on our bare feet!" Justine exclaimed.
"I think this can help..." Randy Man held out an amulet. "Happened to picked it up on our way down here. It's a Maleficent dragon, that we can charm to help us!"
"Great! Let's get outside to open this baby up!" Tangora announced.
"THIS ISN'T THE LAST YOU'LL SEE OF US!" Maleficent shook her fist at the team, as her and Gaston were glued to the floor by goo.

As they got out, they summoned the Dragon from the amulet. Guessing that all dragons started out calm from the way she looked, Justine walked up to it. "Please help us dragon, we have a sick friend." Somehow, the dragon understood, and allowed the team to hop on her back and took them to the Cafe.

"Thank you so much Dragon!" The team waved as it disappeared into the sky. When they got there, Skippy immediately hobbled over to a chair. Strangely, someone was sitting at that same table, enjoying herself. She slowly turned around to witness the team.

She was a girl about the same age as Justine. She looked into her studies.. well a magazine anyway, and was enjoying herself with a nice hot cup of green tea and a chocolate chip cookie on the side when it seemed as if the enitire cafe flocked over to the chair opposite her.
"Whoah.. uh i was sitting here but alright i guess u can use the chair.." Bella replied in confusion. She had been sitting there so quietly and now all this was totally new news to her.
"Oh.. uh sorry sorry," they all replied, "You see we have been.. and then we went.. and oh then we.."
So much talk was confusing Bella, she finally yelled,"Stop! All of you.. one at a time please ifu really want to tell me all of this stuff."
All of a sudden it was sort of quiet.. they all looked at each other and it seemed as if they were deciding whether or not they could trust her.. I mean after all they haven't even met yet.
Justine turned around and said, "Sorry.. we didn't mean to bother you really, it's just so much has been going on lately... hi my name is Justine." She introduced everyone one by one and then Bella said,"Well nice to meet you all.. my name is Bella."
They decided to tell Bella what had been going on. She was shocked and almost thought it couldn't be true. A dragon? Villians? Sticky Paste? What was this world coming to?
"Well it looks like you all had quite an adventure," said Bella. They all nodded in relief to be alive.
Then all of a sudden Skippy talked, "Oww.. uhghh.. can someone get me water.. whiskey something? I nearly died and your all interested in this new girl over here?" Bella felt like it was her fault.."Oh sorry sorry i am.. let me get you something to drink and eat would u like something to eat?" Bella got up and came back with a drink and cookie for Skippy.. he looked as if he could use a snack.
So they all sat for a while talking and filling Bella in. After some persuasion Bella decided to help them. She felt as if she had to now. It was getting late when they all heard a "Boom!".......
"Shiver me timbers! Another explosion from the Jungle Cruise!" exclaimed the Captain.
"Ugh, we have to go back to the Jungle again?" Skippy asked wearily.
"You guys went to the Jungle Cruise?" reekster asked quizzically.
"Yeah, before we met you," Stitch hastily replied.
"Come on! Let's go!" Eye cried.
"Um, wait!" Skippy said suddenly.
All eyes were on Skippy.
"I was, erm, wondering, if I could talk to Justine? Alone?"
"Um... okay," Tangora said. "Now, let's go!"
Everyone ran out the door but Randyman, Justine and Skippy.
"You'll meet up with us, right?" Randyman asked.
"Of course," Skippy replied.
Randyman followed the others.

---
"Why does this keep happening?" Justine pondered. "Are they after us for a problem or something?"
"I'm not sure, but this isn't really the point..." Skippy began. How was he going to tell her?
"Oh, okay. What's up?"
"I, uh..."
"...Interesting." Justine made a questioning face.
"...like..."
"Cherry whiskey? You want me to get you some? You could have just asked, no problem." She started to walk over to the counter.
"NOT WHISKEY!" He shouted back at her. Justine turned around in shock.
"Then what do you like?"
"Skippy likes..."

"AHHHH!!!!!!!" A yell in panic could be heard from where the rest of the team was.
"Oh my gosh, we have to go help them!" Justine ran for the door, then looked back at Skippy. "Can we finish this 'what you like' scnario later?"
Skippy stared at the ground and hesitated. "Umm...okay."
"Alright, let's get going!" She bursted out the door.

"I'm such a doofus..." He whispered sadly to himself, then he followed her towards the yell.
They ran quickly. Skippy was angry with himself, muttering.
"That was quite a loud yell," he commented to Justine as they ran.
"Yes, something horrible must have happened."
They ran through Adventureland and to the Jungle Cruise. To their dismay, they found all the boats rented, so they waded into the water.
"Ugh," Skippy said. "There has GOT to be a better way to do this."
"Tell me about it. Now hurry!" Justine hastily replied.
They darted around a corner, and saw some lantern light ahead. They burst into an opening.
"What the heck is-" Justine stopped mid-sentence. Tangora was sprawled on the floor, with the Rhino he had met was licking his face. The others were petting the huge gray creature.

Chapter 5

"It's okay," Tangora said laughing. "Rhinis just caught me by surprise."
"We thought you were hurt, or in trouble, Tangora!!" Justine cried. "We ran all this way for nothing!"
The team remained silent.
"Look, I'm sorry I-" Tangora began.
"Forget it," Justine said. "Come on Skippy."
Skippy remained silent and quickly followed Justine. He glanced back and saw Tangora and the Rhino's face filled with guilt. Skippy sighed.
"Come on, Justine," he said. "I know where we can talk."
-
The pair proceded to a bridge, across from the Forbidden Temple in the Jungle Cruise.
"This is a nice place," Justine commented.
"Yes, I discovered it after I was released one day," Skippy said recalling his fond memories.
Justine hopped up and sat down on the bridge. Skippy quickly did likewise. By now, it was now evening, with a full moon in the sky.
"Urp, uh, Justine..." Skippy began. "Erm, I don't know to say this ready, um..."
Justine listened intently.
"Well, see, I..." Skippy stammered. "I... I love you," Skippy said very quickly. "I find you quite attractive, but you have no reason to return the love. I'm just an ugly blob."
"No, Skippy!" Justine cried, her eyes watering up. "You're a wonderful creature! You've always been nice to me!"
The two paused.
"You know," Justine said. "I've always found you kind of attractive, too."
"Oh, please..." Skippy said, rolling his eyes.
"Really, Skippy!"
The two stared at each other. They scooted toward each other. Closer, and closer. There faces reached out. They were lips were about to touch when-
"Justine! Skippy!" Tangora burst through the foliage. "I'm sorry! I-"
It was too late. Skippy and Justine kissed.
---
Justine looked up. "T-Tangora?"
"Heehee, Skippy and Justine, sitting in a tree..."
"Shut it." She made a face at him, but he knew she was just kidding.
Skippy smiled. "I'm glad we talked, Justine."
"Yeah, me too." She smiled back.
Tangora stared at them. "Yeah, yeah, that's all nice and happy. But we have some real problems happening out there!"
"Like what?" Justine and Skippy asked at the same time.
"Well, Rhinis isn't nice to everyone, per say..."
"Oh no." The threesome ran out at the sight of Captain being attacked by Rhinis. "I know we're friends, but I can't get her to stop!!"
"What do we do?!" The rest of the team said in a scared tone.
"I think I have an idea..." Skippy pondered.
"Stitch. Get over here please." "Okay..." Out of nowhere, Skippy picked Stitch up and said "Yoohoo! Rhini! Over here!" "Whoah!" Said Stitch. Rhini ran over and jumped up to Stitch. Skippy pulled him away at the last second. "WHOAH!!" Rhini ran off into the clearing. "HOW did you think of that?!" Stitch said, coming out of a daze. "Rhini really likes blue." said Tangora. "Yup."

Best was still in the cage. He had no food. He had nothing. He was sitting there. He felt like he only, well... existed. " I have to get with the rest of them... " best said in a crackling, dry, voice. Best noticed that the bars were rusting. He kicked that area of the bars, and they dented. Bes kicked again, using all of his might. The bars broke. Best walked out, and walked straight into Scar. " Hey! Wait a- " said scar. " Ugh. I AM SICK OF THIS! " best exclaimed. Best kicked scar in the eye, and he fell on the floor, wincing. Some lion, best thought. Best ran down the stairs, and got out of the castle. WHOMPH! Best got knocked down, by something... or someone. He looked up, eyes glazed over with fear.
"Arg, enough of the chit-chat everyone, time to be finding that explosion!" Said the Captain.
"I agree," Said Skippy with a happiness in his eyes. "Let's get going."
"What happened to Skippy?" Asked Randy Man to Tangora.
"Uh... well, let's say something's happening between Skippy and Justine... Hehehe..." Said Tangora with a grin.
The team continued to the Jungle Cruise. They traveled by boat, and... Well, let's just say they saw the famous backside of water.
They continued to float along. When they came along to the Forbidden Temple, they saw many scorch marks on the trail.
"Uh... That's not normal, is it?" Asked Tangora.
"No, it's not..." Replied Randy Man thoughtfully.
They followed the trail, not noticing the large figure with smoke coming out of his nostrils behind them...
Best realized what it was. It was the most horrifying thing he could come face-to-face with. It was the yeti. He was looking into the evil, red, glowing eyes of fear. The yeti slashed him. Best closed his eyes waiting for it to end. " Please help " Best said quietly.

"Anyone noticing something peculiar about this place...???" Asked Randy Man.
"I be noticing these scorch marks aren't from any flamethrower..." Replied Captain.
Suddenly, the team heard a growl. They turned around, and saw the large fire-breathing beast behind them.
"RUN!!!" Yelled Tangora, while the dragon was in pursuit...
They all ran-except Skippy. He stood staring. "BENICKOV!!!" He cried. The dragon stopped in his tracks and cooed at Skippy. The group turned around.
The group stood wide-eyed and jaws open wide enough for a plane to land there.
"Arg, this be another fierce creature of a pet?" Asked Captain.
"This dragon was a friend of mine - He always flew me where I needed to go," Replied Skippy.
He suggested they ride on his back the rest of the way to the explosion. The team leapt aboard, and set off.
Since best was not helped, he was slashed by the yeti,The worst slash yet, and got a serious injury. "Ugh..." Best moaned in pain. He tried to move his legs. He couldnt. Best started to panic thinking that he was paralyzed. Byt he finally realized that his legs were broken. He was lying there, hoping that he would at least get some medical help.
" So wait.. this is a actual friend or yours Skippy?" Bella asked as she held on to the dragon for dear life.
"Yup" skippy replied, "i have many different kinds of friends."
"Well i know i wouldn't have believed it if i wasn't here!" Bella replied. She was beginning to calm down a bit, and almost exicted about these adventures."So where are we going to?" she asked.
Captain asnwered, "Wherever this "pet" takes us i guess..."
"Oh! look down there.. i didn't realize we were so high up" Bella replied.
"Wow look at all the land!" Justine exclaimed.
"Wait.. do you all see those bright lights down there?" asked Bella. They all squinted to see. "Do you think it could be part of the explosion?" Bella said, "Or maybe it could just be fireworks.."
"Well there is only one way to find out!" Skippy yelled, "Everybody.. hold on tight!"
No medical help arrived. Best was hopeless. He lie there sobbing.
Suddenly, the dragon got an itch on his back. He scratched it, and it swiped Stitch off of the dragon, along with captain. "Great."

The Captain and Stitch fell down somewherein the middle of Pirates Of The Carribean.
"Arg, at least we be in familiar territory," Said Captain.
The two had to endure the amazingly deadly cannon shots throughout the ride, and suddenly took a sharp turn. They entered a teleporter to the Villains' new hideout.
"Aha," Said Maleficient, "Looks like we have a new pair of guests to try out the Cauldron..."
The two heroes gulped wearily, already tired from their long trip.
Curious, Stitch looked around. "Bestjurassicparkfan!" "Wha...? how did I get here? I was over there, then..." "SILENCE!!!!!!!" said Malifecent. Best got up.


"That was, erm, odd..." Skippy said.
"Yes, agreed." said Eye.
"Justine, could we return to the bridge for a minute?"
"Sure!"
The two walked off into the foliage. "We'll be right back!" Skippy called back. "Don't worry about the dragon! He'll take good care of you..."
"What was that about?" Randyman asked Tangora.
"You don't want to know," he replied, giggling.
-
The two sat on the bridge, as they did before.
"Common, Just..."
Justine giggled. "Okay, Skippy..."
Their lips got closer and closer. Suddenly, Skippy puked Gluco-Paste on to Justine's mouth. She attempted to cry back, but her mouth was utterly stuck together.
"Mmmph!"
"Honestly, Justine, I thought you knew I could shape-shift!" 'Skippy' shape-shifted into his true form... Captain Blackheart!
"You know what the best part is, Just? That dragon works for Maleficent! He'll kill all the others! Muahaha!"
Justine made a break for it. Lazily, Blackheart sent out a chain grappling hook and realed her back in.
"Child's play!" He cried, laughing.
"This time you WILL make a decision, and you won't be escaping this time!"
He ran off, laughing and laughing, with Justine over his shoulder.
---
Justine soon figured out that 'Skippy' kicked the dragon on the wing, causing him to 'itch' his back. "BHMDDgfhgGhg" She struggled to speak. "Hush!" She kept her mouth shut.

Back at the dragon, Eye asked the others, "What is taking Skippy and Justine so long?"
"Beats me." Bella said.
"Hey! You got Justine's name right! Good job!" laughed Tangora.
"Well, you guys were bothering me about..." Eye said silently.
All of a sudden, the dragon turned its head towards the group, and blew a giant fireball at them.
"Hurry! Duck!" yelled Tangora.
"What's going on?!" screamed Randyman, "What is the dragon doing?!" as the fireball flew over them all.
"Who cares, we should get out of here!" Eye yelled.
"What about Skippy and Justine?" asked Bella.
"We have no time, we have to leave now!"
The group ran off, looking behind themselves making sure the dragon wasn't behind them.
They ran to the Pirate Treehouse, climbed up the ladder, and hid inside the ship of the abandoned captain's room.
"Everything is starting to go wrong now, isn't it." said Tangora.
"I'm afraid so." Eye said uneasily while gazing at the night's sky, "I'm afraid so..."


The trio was dumbfounded. What in the world was going on?
"Arg, I be feeling a bit hazy..." Said Captain wearily. The three fell to the ground together, fast asleep.
"Yes, all according to plan..." Chuckled Maleficient.
Meanwhile, the real Skippy was laying in his room, drugged to a deep sleep...
Skippy yawned as he awoke.
"Erm... ugh liosdfi... huh?" He awoke somewhat. "What's going on? Where is everyone?"
Half asleep, Skippy wandered down the stairs. It was very dark outside, probably around 11 PM. He grabbed a cherry whiskey, and half asleep, marched down the hidden staircase into Maleficent's old abandoned fortress. He wandered through the dark and grim halls, and found a large door. He opened, and then awoke compeltely, cou
