Disney Wizards: Dark Anomalies [UPDATED 4/7/2020]

Chapter 8 - Zero To Hero

I slowly opened my eyes, my vision so blurry it was like i had too much orange soda and I could barely see straight. Once my eyes adjusted, I saw I was in a cell, chained by my wrists to a stone wall. Cold air filtered in from a barred window, also the only light source in the entire room. 

"What is this place?... Where is this place?"

I was startled out of my thoughts when I heard something beep. I looked down to the floor to see my Kimunicator. It was beeping and vibrating as an envelope flashed on the screen. I obviously couldn't reach it, as I couldn't move my hands. I tried reached it with my foot, but they were just inches apart from each other. 

I huffed, blowing a piece of hair out of my face with annoyance. Think Ava think! I just hope I wasn't out for too long. Who knows how much time has passed. 

Then, a thought hit me! What if the Kimunicator had voice commands?

I cleared my throat, looking over at the device. "Answer!"

The screen reacted, flipping on as the face of Mickey Mouse appeared on screen. "Thank goodness, Avalynn! We've been trying to reach you for hours! Are you alright?"

Hours?!

"I'm okay... I think." I replied nervously, still feeling the slight sting in my skull from where Jafar had struck me with his staff.

"What happened?" Mickey asked me with worry.

"I just met... my first Disney villain."

Silence fell on the other end of the line as I didn't hear the mouse reply to my answer.

"Mickey?"

"Ava?" Mickey's voice sounded a lot quieter. "Who, exactly, did you meet?"

I swallowed nervously before opening my mouth. "...Jafar."

"What?" I could hear the worry in his voice .

"Listen to me Mickey! I think Jafar might be working for the Dark Anomalies somehow. He mentioned that their leader hired him to do a job. He and Iago stole your sorcerer hat that's all glitching and stuff. I think it might have been infected by the Dark Anomalies. That's not all, he kidnapped Ben and Sebastian too!" I explained. 

"Oh golly, that's terrible! No wonder I couldn't get in contact with them." Mickey gulped. 

"Can you spare any of the other Disney Wizards to try and come find us?" I asked him.

"Well, I uh-- I'm sorry Ava, but none of the other Wizards are available." Mickey answered with regret. 

"Aw crap! Heh... If Mushu was here he would said-- Wait! Could you send Mushu to come and get me? He is my Disney Guardian after all." I suggested. 

"I'll send for him immediately." Mickey nodded. "Could you provide me your current location?"

"Um, well..." I strained, taking a look around my cell, looking at every crack and detail for any clues. "Judging by the structure of this place... I think I'm somewhere locked up in Adventureland. Where it looks like... Agrabah!" I exclaimed. 

"I'll send him to fetch you immediately. I also try and get in touch with any locals in the area that are part of our liaisons." Mickey replied. 

"Right, so I'll just sit tight for now. What could possibly go wrong until then?" I shrugged.

"Ava, I want you to promise that you'll tread carefully from now on. Jafar is no one to mess with." Mickey cautioned. 

"I read you loud and clear Mickey." I replied with a smile.
