Droidbait- the Nutcracker Prince (au) act III

You did a double take. 'Now I know that I'm dreaming!'

Closing your eyes you pinched yourself on the arm hoping that the mice would just be a figment of your imagination; but alas it was not meant to be! For when you opened your eyes again there were still mice pouring in from all corners of the room chanting loudly.

"All hail King Dooku!"

"All hail King Dooku!"

At the sound of their echoing cries their leader emerged from the hole. He was a tall, muscular sliver mouse dressed in dark purple garments including a clock secured around his neck by silver claps. In his left paw he held a sword with a hilt all adorned with rubies and had a golden crown perched upon his noble brow.

The mouse soldiers parted like the Red Sea as King Dooku advanced nearer and nearer into the parlour room until he stopped next to the same armchair Uncle 99 had previously occupied only a few hours prior to this moment. Leaping up onto the the cushioned seat, King Dooku climbed up its back and stood up on its very top. Then facing his large army, the mouse king declared in a loud voice. "Fellow mice! Tonight upon this very hour we will defeat the nutcracker and claim what is rightfully ours once and for all!"

King Dooku's short speech instantly caused all the mice to instantly erupt in jubilant cheering which woke up R2.

The shaggy dog took one look at the mice and let out a low, dangerous growl before lunging himself at the mouse.

As soon as the mice saw R2 bearing his teeth at them, their eyes bugged out in fear and their joyful cheering died in their throats and was replaced with shrill screams of terror. Scattering in all directions the mice scampered and scurried all around the room prompting you to take high ground on the couch. King Dooku's screamed threats at his soldiers, but only a handful remained rooted to the floor boards.

Then with a mighty war cry King Dooku jumped down from his perch and withdrawing his sword charged toward R2.

"R2 watch out!"

The shaggy dog paid you no heed as he snapped his jaws at King Dooku. The mouse king swung on his heel to dodge R2's teeth, and used his sword to slash his front leg earning a yelp from R2.

"R2!" You cried in horror slipping off the couch and ran towards you life long companion, scooping the grey shaggy dog up protectively in your arms.

"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?!?!"

Meanwhile inside the toy cabinet, the effects of golden dust had brought all the toys to life.

"Ugh!" Groaned the nutcracker stirring slightly. "What happened?"

"Dominic?!?!" Exclaimed Captain Rex. "Your here!"

"Rex? What's going on?" The nutcracker aka Dominic asked trying to get up only for his blond cousin to gently push him back down. "Easy there cousin," said Rex as a toy medic removed your ribbon from Dominique's jaw. "You've been through quite an ordeal."

"What do you mean?" Rex opened his mouth to reply but was interrupted by C-3P0. "Prince Dominic!" The ambassador cried out rushing forward to meet him. "My dear prince it's so good to see you alive and well."

"Prince?" Bewildered Dominic looked at C-3P0 and said. "I'm sorry sir, but I'm as far from royalty as you can possibly get."

"Nonsense your highness, why everyone around hear knows about how you triumphed over Queen Ventress and of course breaking her curse over—" Rex interrupted politely. "Uh C-3P0, do you mind giving us a moment please?" C-3P0 started. "Oh why yes of course! You two obviously have a lot of catching up to do. I'll take my leave and leave the both of you be."
