Chapter 14
A few minutes later, the Toon Patrol stepped off the head of a slim pink sea serpent onto the Fantasmic stage.
“Thanks for the lift!” Kiara thanked the sea serpent. “We’re all right now.”
The sea serpent nodded its lovely head before turning back into a lotus pod. Smart Guy stared up at the huge mountain where he noticed a sword stabbed at the top.
“The sword of Lu Dongbin, the de facto leader of the group.” Hester explained.
“Well then, I guess that’s me.” Smart Guy rubbed his hands together. He was about to climb when Hester screeched, “HOLD IT!”
“What?!” Smart Guy said, staring at him.
Hester nodded towards Stupid and Kovu. “They have to come with you.”
“Why?” Smart Guy wanted to know. “Kovu’s still a kid so a sword will be too dangerous for him and Stupid is—”
Hester cuffed Smart Guy.
“Ow!” Smart Guy yelped.
“Has it occurred to you that you might not be the one Lu Dongbin had chose?” Hester hissed. “The fan of Zhongli Quan hasn’t chosen you!”
Smart Guy growled in frustration. “Fine. Stupid, Kovu, get over here!”
Twenty minutes later, the remaining Toon Patrol watched as Smart Guy, Stupid and Kovu slowly climbed up the mountain. Shadow suddenly became stiff and made tiny squeaking noises of despair.
“What’s wrong Shadow?” Kiara asked.
“He senses something wrong,” Hester said, narrowing his eyes. He froze and shivered. “The willies?” Wheezy suggested. Hester only nodded.
“Hey!” Psycho said suddenly. “Look over at that side of the mountain!”
The Toon Patrol turned their heads and to their horror, they saw five or six lionesses following the three climbers.
“Kovu!” Kiara cried out. “Look out!”
Meanwhile, the three climbers finally reached the top of the mountain. In front of them was a sword stuck deep into the earth.
“Ooh!” Stupid said eagerly. “This is just like ‘The Sword in the Stone’ where we have to try and take out the sword! Can I try it first?”
“Go right ahead.”
Stupid grabbed onto the sword’s hilt and gave a mighty tug.
“Oof! It’s stuck tight.”
“Can I try?” Kovu piped up.
“Don’t you think a sword might be too dangerous for you?” Smart Guy said, trying to change Kovu’s mind.
“I’m eight years old.” Kovu pointed out. “I can do it.”
Before Smart Guy could say anything else, Kovu grabbed onto the hilt of the sword with his jaws and tugged. The sword came out cleanly.
Smart Guy and Stupid stared wide eyed at him while Kovu beamed.
“Nothing to it!”
It was at that moment Kiara cried out her warning.
“Watch out for what?” Kovu called back down.
“Oh bravo, bravo.” A sly voice said. “Another demon tamer has been found.”
The two weasels and Kovu looked up in alarm. A group of lionesses glared right at them, flicking their tails.
“Oh no!” Smart Guy groaned. “Don’t tell me you’re with the queen’s group.”
“Such a bright thing, aren’t you.” The lead lioness sneered. “We’re most impressed with your progress. Unfortunately, that would not stop us from our mission.”
“And what mission is that?!” Smart Guy hissed. “Stop freaking us out like this!”
The lionesses only laughed mockingly.
“As if we would betray Queen Lilith’s plans to the likes of you.”
“Queen Lilith?!” Stupid yelped. “She’s the queen of all demons!”
“And you’re following her?” Smart Guy snarled.
“Why of course,” The lead lioness nodded. “She promised us great power if we served her well. Now we shall release the demons and destroy all mortals who oppose us.”
“Oh no you’re not!” Smart Guy snapped. “We’re going to stop you!”
He blinked. The lionesses had disappeared into the darkness, but a voice still called out.
“We’ll meet in battle in the new kingdom of this park.”
At that moment, Fidget flew towards them.
“Guys! The lionesses! They’re—”
“We saw them.” Smart Guy sighed. “They told us to meet in battle in the new kingdom on the park.”
“You mean the Animal Kingdom?”
“Is that the new park?”
Fidget rolled his eyes. “If you had seen the news on TV, then yes!”
“But how are we going to find them?” Stupid wanted to know. “They keep on popping up without warning.”
“That reminds me,” Fidget pointed out. “When they came, Shadow started to go weird. Hester thinks he might sense any dark creatures lurking around.”
“We can use him to track the lionesses down.” Kovu pointed out. He then smirked. “Besides, Hester also has the willies. But…what about the rest of the demon objects?”
“Wheezy asked Hester the same question.” Fidget said. “Hester said that demon objects are not important right now. What’s important is that we need to stop whatever the lionesses are planning with their queen.”
“All right,” Smart Guy began to give instructions. “Fidget, go down and tell the others to wait for us. We’re heading straight to the Animal Kingdom and show this queen what we’re made of!”
