Walt Disney World Adventure

[Veggirl]

Seems like I should start getting more into the board and load up some fanfic. Here's the prologue for my new series.

Prologue

Once, a long time ago, the ancient world of China was ruled by eight demons with a different power. The powers of fire, water, wind, mountain, sky, moon, thunder and earth. The demons ruled China and their subjects lived in fear and terror. It was until then when the eight immortals appeared and one by one, the demons were banished back to a demon netherworld. The people of China were happy and praised the eight immortals who banished the cruel demon rulers. But there was one last demon who was still on the loose. Her name was Lilith, leader of all demons. She was the cruelest of all demons, and dreamed of conquering the world. Patiently, she watched as each demon was banished one by one. When the last one was banished, Lilith made her attempt to take over all of China. The eight immortals knew they must get rid of her as soon as possible.
Banding together, the Eight Immortals battled against Lilith in a long and vicious battle. Lilith was eventually defeated and banished to the Demon Netherworld. Before her banishment, Lilith swore to return one day and rule over the world. Unfortunately, the battle against Lilith proved too much for the Eight Immortals. They vowed to return once again, reborn into eight unsuspecting beings who will save the world once it is time. Then the Eight Immortals disappeared and were never seen again.

Hmm. Interesting. Wonder who those eight will be. Nice start. ^_^

Chapter 1

Smart Guy grunted as he heaved a suitcase into the back of the paddy wagon.
“Gee whiz!” He mumbled. “What did Greasy packed in here? Rocks?!”
Kovu came out of the house with his friend, Kiara.
“Are we ready to go?” He asked with excitement.
“Almost.” Smart Guy said. Kiara smiled at Kovu. “Thanks for inviting me to your vacation, Kovu.”
“No problem Kiara.” Kovu smiled. “It’s not everyday you get to go to Disney World with your best pals!”
“No problem, yeah right.” Smart Guy mumbled, heaving another suitcase into the paddy wagon. “It took two days for us to convince Kiara’s dad!”
Kiara frowned. “Daddy is such a worry-wart all the time. I can take care of myself!”
Smart Guy frowned. “You guys are only kids!”
Kovu frowned. “So what? We’re big enough to know when danger’s around!”
Fidget then flew in and landed in front of Smart Guy. “Hey Smart Guy, we got a letter from Merlin.”
Smart Guy raised his eyebrows. “Oh really? What did he say?”
Fidget opened a piece of paper and began to read.

To the Toon Patrol:

I have written to inform you that I had received a special vision about you all. Come quickly right away and we’ll explain it. Oh, and bring Fidget, Hester, Kovu and Kiara as well.

Merlin

Kovu’s eyes widened. “We get to be a part of this too?! Cool!”
Smart Guy looked at the lion cubs. “Where are the others?”
“They’re in the backyard, planning things for the vacation.” Kiara answered.
“Well, go get them. We’re going over to Merlin before the airport.”
Fidget, Kiara and Kovu raced off. Smart Guy looked over at the birdbath sitting out in front of their lawn. No birds were in it, so the water was calm and clear as glass. Suddenly, to his surprise, the water began to ripple. Smart Guy went over slowly. Suddenly, there was a burst of water. Smart Guy was thrown onto the lawn as the water spouted into the sky. A huge mermaid creature appeared in the water with red demon eyes. The creature opened it’s mouth and let out a screech.
“Hey, boss?”
Smart Guy looked up. The others were standing around him, staring down at him. Smart Guy pointed at the bird bath. “Did you see that?!”
“See what?”
Smart Guy turned to the birdbath, but the water was calm as if nothing happened. Smart Guy’s jaw dropped.
“The mermaid! Didn’t you see it?”
The weasels gave him a weird look.
“You okay boss?” Greasy asked. “Have you’ve eaten any bad chips or something?”
“No!” Smart Guy said. “It was there! It was---”
Kovu and Kiara came bounding up. Kovu looked around with excitement.
“So, are we ready or what?”
Greasy nodded. “All right kids, get in the van!”
“Hooray!” Kovu, Kiara and Stupid cried out. They raced toward the van. Greasy went after them.
“Stupid! When I said kids, I meant younger ones!”

[jebikun]

I really liked Kovu too! I wonder what that mermaid tried to say to Smarty o.o
This brings me back the horrible memory from Harry Potter movie...those mermaids were the ugliest mermaid I've ever seen.

Next chapter up!

Chapter 2

At Merlin’s house, the weasels, Kovu, Kiara, Fidget and Hester were sitting around the table, drinking some tea. Merlin was seated on his big chair, puffing his pipe.
“So…what’s the special vision you wanted to tell us about Merlin?” Smart Guy asked.
Merlin sighed. “Ah, it’s a long and complicated vision to describe.”
Kovu looked at an owl who was perching on a perch.
“Wow! What a cool stuffed owl!”
The owl suddenly puffed up and stammered with rage.
“Stuffed?!! Why I beg your pardon!”
Kiara gasped in amazement. “He’s alive! And he talks!”
The owl grunted. “And certainly a great deal better than you do!” He then flew off to a birdhouse.
“Now, now, Archimedes!” Merlin scolded. “You must pardon him. After all, they are only children.”
Archimedes poked his head out. “Children? Children? I see no children!”
Kovu sighed. “We’re sorry that we…”
“It’s all right.” Merlin said kindly. “He gets a little sensitive.”
Archimedes poked his head out again. “Sensitive?! WHO?! What-what?!”
Hester coughed impatiently. “You said that you had a vision. Could you please explain?”
“Ah yes!” Merlin said. “You may have heard of the Eight Immortals.”
The Toon Patrol looked blankly at him. Hester spoke up.
“I’m not sure if they know, but I know plenty about them!”
“Who are they, exactly?” Fidget asked. Hester looked at them with narrowed eyes.
“The Eight Immortals are a group of warriors who defeat demons and travel around all of China. But I don’t know how they have anything to do with you guys.”
“Oh plenty!” Merlin said. “You see, the Eight Immortals battled against a fierce demon named Lilith who was banished. But it was too late for the Immortals, so before they passed away, their spirits were reborn into eight beings.”
The Toon Patrol blinked. Hester looked confused, then his eyes brightened a bit.
“Sooo…” Smart Guy said.
“Oh come on!” Hester snapped. “You guys are the beings the eight immortals transferred their spirits in!”
Psycho laughed. “You’re joking!”
One by one, the weasels began to laugh at the idea.
“But wait one moment!” Merlin said. “Haven’t you had any experiences you consider out of normal?”
The weasels then stopped. Stupid spoke up.
“Duh…I remember a time looking at a big mountain once. The mountain then became a huge thing with red eyes and big lips.”
Merlin laughed with delight. “Aha! So that means you shall be the one to receive your first demon!”
“Wait, wait, wait,” Wheezy said. “What do you mean receive a demon?”
“I shall explain in a moment.” Merlin said. “Anyone else experienced something like that?”
Psycho spoke up. “Um…I remember one windy day I had a feeling to go outside. When I did that, I saw this huge giant toad thing in the wind. Then…it was gone!”
Greasy nodded. “Yeah…I remember during a thunderstorm, I heard a huge clap of thunder and this weird ogre thing came out from the darkness in front of me.”
Kiara looked over at Kovu who was staring intently at Merlin’s burning fireplace. She looked up.
“I remember a time when I couldn’t sleep. I was looking at the moon and this weird face appeared on the moon’s surface.”
“How did it looked like?” Hester asked. Kiara thought for a moment.
“I…I don’t know. I can’t remember!”
Wheezy began puffing on his cigarette, lost in thought. “You know…I remember one day I was out in the backyard, then suddenly, the ground split open and a huge lion thing came out from the ground. When it disappeared, the ground was fine!”
Fidget sat up. “That reminds me! I was flying out in the sky one day, when suddenly a huge black bat thing flew past me and did some loops around the sky.”
Smart Guy suddenly remembered the mermaid he saw. “And that mermaid in the birdbath!”
Merlin nodded. “So, it seems we have seven demons. But what about Kovu?”
Kovu suddenly jumped up. “Whoa! Did you see that!”
He pointed at Merlin’s fireplace. “A huge dragon came out from there and breathed fire! You saw it, didn’t you?”
Kovu looked around at the astonished faces. He blinked.
“What?”

[Veggirl]

Chapter 3 up, with Merlin's famous song!

Chapter 3

“As I was about to explain,” Merlin said. “Each of the eight immortals once fought a demon and sealed the demon inside a portal which leads to the demon netherworld. Unfortunately, this portal cannot hold demons for a long time, I’m afraid the demons might come out and start causing trouble again.”
The Toon Patrol’s eyes widened.
“YOU MEAN WE HAVE TO FIGHT A DEMON?!!”
“Yes, and tame them as well.” Merlin said. “They could be useful.”
Hester began to flick his tail with excitement. “I guess this means you all will have demons!” He then looked at Merlin. “But what does that make me?”
Merlin stood up and went over to his bookcase. He took out a large red book and handed it to Hester.
“This book contains all the information on the demons you will be facing. It’ll be like some sort of handbook for you.” Hester’s eyes lit up in excitement. He thanked Merlin and took the book and began to read.
“But we can’t go chasing after demons!” Smart Guy said. “We have a plane to catch on our vacation!”
“Oh!” Merlin exclaimed. He took a bag from under his table and went over to the middle of the room. “Then we must pack and be on our way! Now you watch now.”
Merlin stood on top of a stool and waved his staff.

Higitus Figitus zumbabazing
I want your attention ev'rything!

All of Merlin’s things turned to the direction of his voice.
“We're packing to leave,” Merlin explained. “Come on let's go, books are always the first you know!” The books then began to float in the air as Merlin guided them to his suitcase with a little song.

Hockety pockety wockety wack
abracabra dabra nack
Shrink in size very small
we've got to save enough room for all
Higitus Figitus migitus mum
pres-ti-dig-i-ton-i-um!

Ali-i-ca-fez bal-a-ca-zez
malacamez meripides
Hockety pockety wockety wack

The line suddenly stopped in a sudden traffic jam.
“Now, stop, stop, stop!” Merlin said. He went over to the source of the problem, a small sugar bowl. “See here, Sugar bowl you're getting rough! The poor old tea set's cracked enough!” He walked back and raised his arms. “All right, lets start again. Lets start uh…” He paused and shook his head. “Where was I now?”
“Hockety Pockety?” Stupid suggested.
“Oh yes!” Merlin exclaimed. He began to wave his staff and the packing continued.

Hockety pockety wockety wack
odds and ends and bric a brac
Be with you in just a minute
Packing’s almost done!

Archimedes meanwhile was flying around the air, dodging the furniture and other objects. He raced into his birdhouse when suddenly the birdhouse began to move toward the suitcase. Archimedes squawked and squeezed out.
“YOU…YOU…BLUNDERING BLOCKHEAD!!!” He screeched.
The Toon Patrol had to jump, duck and dodge every single item in Merlin’s house as they made their way toward Merlin’s suitcase while Merlin kept on singing.

Higitus Figitus migitus mum,
pres-ti-dig-i-ton-i-um.
Higitus Figitus migitus mum,
pres-ti-dig-i-ton-i-um!

Finally the home was nothing but an empty room. Kovu and Kiara looked at the suitcase in awe. “Wow! What a way to pack!”
“Magic makes things easier for some.” Merlin said, going out of his house. “In fact, that is how you will tame your demons.” Outside, he waved his staff at Smart Guy. “Now don’t get any foolish ideas that your demons will solve your problems, because they won’t!”
“But we don’t have any problems!” Greasy protested.
“Pah!” Merlin exclaimed. “Everyone has problems. The world is full of them!” He shut the door and started to go, but was pulled back. His beard had gotten caught in the doorway. “Now you see what I mean?!” Merlin snapped as he pulled his beard out. Unfortunately, it wrapped around his staff and head. Merlin pulled his staff out, making his beard poof up like a cotton ball. He smoothed it down, and glared at the Toon Patrol, who were trying to hold their laughter. Even Hester had looked up from his book with a gleam of amusement in his eyes.
“You see, that’s the kind of problems you will face if you don’t take it seriously!” Merlin snapped as he started walking/running with the Toon Patrol following. “A demon tamer with only muscles and no brains! Do you want to be all muscles and no brains?”
“I don’t have any muscles!” Fidget called out. Merlin stopped and faced him. “Well how do you get around and about?”
“Well maybe I do, a little.” Fidget admitted.
“There you see?” Merlin said, continuing on. “Now you must develop your knowledge on all demons of the world! Higher learning! That’s the same!”
Meanwhile, the Toon Patrol were wondering how on earth could Merlin keep up with his fast pace and still keep on talking.
“So first thing we must do is to get eight hours of demon schooling. We’ll have six hours for book studying, and two for hands on training.”
“But we don’t have the time!” Smart Guy called out. “We’ve got duties!”
“Duties?!” Merlin snapped. “Your duties are to protect the world from destruction! How do you expect to handle your demons without demon education, I’d like to know? So, you must plan for the future, you got to find a direction, and you---”
Merlin paused and appeared to be confused. “Now by the by, what direction is this airport?” The Toon Patrol panted while Smart Guy pointed the other way.
“North, the other way.”
“Oh.” Merlin said. “Well then we’d better get a move on. C’mon lads, pick up the pace, pick it up!”
The Toon Patrol groaned as they followed Merlin back to a fast paced run/walk.

[Weasel Freak]

Wow! I love the way you write!
I wonder how they're gonna deal with the demons.

[Veggirl]

Here's the next chapter. Crappy cliff-hanger, I know...

Chapter 4

A few hours later at the hotel room, the Toon Patrol were seated on the bed while Merlin held up a picture of a tiny red figure with little horns, spiked tail and a trident.
“Now,” Merlin began, “first of all, we’ve got to get all this stereotypical demon ideas out of your heads. Clear away so you can learn about the demons you will be dealing with. This will be a big advantage!”
“Advantage!” Archimedes groaned. “Hah! If the group go around asking for the demon objects, everyone will mistake them for lunatics!”
“Demon objects?” Greasy said. “What demon objects?”
“According to this handbook,” Hester said, “the eight immortals banished each demon using a different object.”
“Right you are!” Merlin said. “Of course there is only one item in the whole world which belonged to the immortal. All the others are merely normal ones, but the ones from the immortals are not normal at all!”
The Toon Patrol gave him a blank stare. Archimedes groaned. “You are only confusing them! Before you’re through, they’ll be so mixed up, they will be wearing their shoes on their heads! They had just realized they are the chosen demon tamers, and you lecturing them on what they should know, it’s confusing enough for heaven’s sakes!”
Merlin puffed on his pipe angrily. “All right! Have it your way Archimedes! From now on, their your pupils!”
Archimedes turned to the Toon Patrol. “So from now on, you do as I say.”
Stupid saluted. “Yes sir!”
“Now to start off,” Archimedes began, “I want you to read these books.”
The Toon Patrol looked over at where he was pointing and their jaws dropped at the mountain of books reaching to the ceiling.
“All of them?!” Psycho squeaked.
“That is a mountain of demon mythology and knowledge.” Archimedes replied.
Fidget raised his wing. “Umm, Archimedes, I have something to say…I can’t really read that well.”
“What, what?! WHAT!” Archimedes squawked. “And I suppose you don’t really know how to write?”
Smart Guy spoke up, saving Fidget from further embarrassment. “Look, we would love to learn more about demons, but we can’t. We need to get to Disney World for our vacation.”
“You cannot go now!” Merlin said. “Not yet. We must wait until night.”
“What?!” Everyone yelped. “Why?!”
“I have done my research.” Merlin said. “The objects to capture the demons are in the place you will be going.”
Everyone’s mouths dropped open. “You mean…DISNEY WORLD?!”

[Weasel Freak]

LOL This is going to be interesting.

[jebikun]

lol poor Fidget. Thanks to Smarty!
So they have to read all that stuff and then go to Disney World not for vacation but to investigate...two birds with one stone, perhaps?

[julayla]

I've read what I've seen so far, and Veggie Girl, you have outdone yourself once again. Good work so far.

[Veggirl]

Here's the next chapter!

Chapter 5

Smart Guy thought that dusk would never come, but finally it did. During the long wait, the weasels and Hester spent their time reading a few books about demons while Fidget took a lesson from Archimedes learning his ABC’s and Kovu was discussing future rides he would want to go on with Kiara. Merlin meanwhile stood in front of the window, waiting for something. Suddenly, he spoke.
“It is now time!”
Smart Guy put his book down and stood up. “Well guys, time to go!”
“Hold on just a moment!” Merlin said. “There is one more thing you must know.”
Smart Guy groaned and sat back down. Merlin waved his staff over the floor and out appeared a hologram. A small black figure with yellow eyes appeared in the hologram.
“Now,” Merlin began. “Before you go out to find your objects, I must tell you, there are dangers after you. A group of villains had sent out these things called the Heartless to stop you.”
“Why would they want to stop us?” Kiara asked.
“So they could grab the demon objects for themselves,” Merlin explained, “and use the demons for their own use, which could be a dangerous thing. So you must avoid them at all cost, but once you receive your objects, use them against the Heartless!”
The hologram disappeared as Merlin walked over to the Toon Patrol. “Now, time to get to the Magic Kingdom!” He began to chant a spell and with each syllable, he tapped each of the weasel’s head with his staff.

Recedentia prolixus
Poctula pox!
Accendentra tedious!

A bright light filled the room and suddenly, the Toon Patrol found themselves in front of Cinderella’s castle. They looked around.
“Duh…where’s Merlin?” Stupid asked.
“Don’t you worry about me!” Merlin’s voice came from nowhere. “Just read the riddle and get to your first destination!”
“What riddle?!” Greasy shouted out to nowhere.
“I am guessing the riddle Smart Guy has in his hands.” Hester pointed out. Smart Guy looked down at his hands and there was a folded piece of paper.
“What’s it say? What’s it say?!” Psycho squeaked.
Smart Guy began to read it out loud.

A grinning man stands still and old
Canons boom through the night
Where is the place where ruffians sing?
Can you guess where your first clue will lead?

Greasy frowned. “Well I guess we should just look for an old grinning man.”
Hester twitched his tail. “Let’s think logically. We’re in the Magic Kingdom, which is where the demon objects are located at. Where can we find grinning men and singing ruffians?”
“I don’t know about ruffians,” Fidget spoke up. “But I sure do know that canons remind me of a ship with canons.”
Smart Guy thought for a moment. “You know, you might be on to something Fidget. Where can we find a ship with canons?”
Kovu looked up at Smart Guy with a frown. “C’mon Smart Guy! Canons, ship, what does that tell you?”
“The place we must go to is Pirates of the Caribbean!” Kiara said.
Hester’s eyes lit up. “Of course! The grinning man old and still must be the skeletons in the ride!”
“Then lets go to Pirates of the Caribbean!” Smart Guy announced. The Toon Patrol marched off toward Adventureland without noticing shadows following them.

[Weasel Freak]

. . . Heartless? Could this be Org. Xlll?? *is giddy**fantizes about Axel and Demyx* Sigh. . .

Great Chappy, BTW.

[Veggirl]

Next Chapter up!

Chapter 6

Minutes later, the Toon Patrol, the two cubs, the cat and the bat were creeping around the queue line in Pirates of the Caribbean.
“Gosh,” Stupid remarked. “It’s really spooky here at night!”
“Thankfully,” Hester said, “we won’t need to worry about anyone busting us. This place is completely empty!”
They finally made it to the boarding station and looked around. Only water in the canal.
“So, what do we do now, boss?” Wheezy asked.
“Well Hester, any demon objects around here?” Smart Guy asked. Hester looked around. “Nope, not a thing, but we can’t give up hope. Maybe it’s inside the ride.”
“Oh swell!” Fidget said sarcastically. “Anyone know how to operate a ride?”
The words had barely left his mouth when suddenly one of the attraction boats came out of nowhere and stopped in front of them. The Toon Patrol stared at the boat.
“Did I say anything magic?” Fidget asked.
“I think it wants us to get in.” Kiara said.
Before anyone can say anything, Kiara and Kovu hoped on. They had no choice but to get in. When everyone was in, the boat lurched forward into the dark unknown. They looked at the skeletons grinning eerily at them, plus the flashing hurricane scene which made the hurricane skeleton even more eerie.
“Keep a look out for clues,” Hester said. “It might be a piece of paper like the one we got.” After going over a small waterfall, the boat took them into the village filled with animatronic pirates. Kovu and Kiara watched in awe at the realistic movements of the robots and the astounding scenery. Psycho looked around in interest until he noticed tiny black pirate figures.
“Hey boss,” He said. “What are those pirates doing there?”
Smart Guy looked up and noticed them. They were small and black with a red bandana over their heads plus huge swords with a large blade. Smart Guy squinted his eyes at them, then he opened them in horror.
“Get down!” He hissed.
“But Smart Guy, the pirates---” Kovu started to complain until Smart Guy grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and pulled him down. Smart Guy held Kovu and Kiara close to him, which they obviously resented. The Toon Patrol stayed at the bottom of the boat as it slowly drifted past the Heartless. Kovu poked his head out a bit, but was pulled back by Smart Guy. It seemed like hours until finally the boat stopped. Smart Guy looked up and gave the all clear signal. The Toon Patrol jumped out of the boat and quickly ran up the speed ramp into the outdoors gift shop. They stopped for a moment to catch their breaths.
“Are we safe?” Stupid asked.
“There doesn’t seem to be any Heartless around.” Wheezy said. “So where’s the riddle? We haven’t found it yet!”
There was a loud squawk. A shadow fell over them.
“Hit the dirt!” Greasy shouted. The Toon Patrol threw themselves down on the ground. Fidget suddenly felt something land on his head. He froze, unsure what to do. After a moment, he opened an eye a bit and his eyes opened wide. A parrot with a tiny pirate hat was staring at him, clutching a piece of paper in its beak. The parrot placed the paper in front of Fidget and flew off.
Fidget sat up. “Relax you guys, it was just a parrot!”
The Toon Patrol sat up and watched as Fidget opened the piece of paper. He stared at it, then handed it over to Smart Guy, giving him a rather sheepish look. Smart Guy sighed and read it out loud.

An age old building stands tall and strange
Spirits lurk in the darkness
Where can ghouls run and play?
Find out and one of your quests shall be complete.

“Where’s the oldest building in the park?” Hester asked.
“Somewhere in Main Street, I guess.” Kovu suggested. “They were the first ones to be built.”
“But that doesn’t make any sense.” Fidget said. “Main Street doesn’t have any ghouls or spirits.”
“The Haunted Mansion.”
Everyone turned toward Stupid who had spoken. He looked at them and spoke. “Ghosts are in the Haunted Mansion. Aren’t ghouls the same as ghosts?”
“Actually,” Hester said. “Ghouls are more like---”
“Never mind that!” Smart Guy snapped, saving themselves from a boring speech on the differences between monsters, “I guess it wouldn’t hurt to look around there.”

[Weasel Freak]

Wonder what'll happen next? >.>
