All of the Kingdom Keepers were sitting backstage of the D23 event, awaiting their moment to go onstage. They were after the special announcement that Disney would be releasing a new movie, Maleficent coming out in 2014. They were also going to meet Angelina Jolie herself, after her appearance. While all the girls squealed over this, the boys slouched in their chairs with disappointment. Unfortunately, being backstage also meant not being able to see anything on stage, so they would only hear muffled talking from behind the large, blue curtains. They did hear this, "We have Maleficent herself with us." They all stood up at the same time, when they heard this. Immediately sitting back down, because they remembered that it wasn't the real Maleficent.
Finn noticed something strange. He didn't here applause or cheering. He heard shrieks, and the unmistakable sound of people bustling around. Finn popped up from his chair, before Maybeck pulled him back down.
"Relax. It's probably just part of the show," Maybeck muttered, crossing his arms. Finn didn't like being controlled by Maybeck, but he was probably right. Maybe they made this huge show, and it just frightened people a bit.
"Don't bother trying to leave. The doors are sealed." Finn jumped up when he heard this, because of the familiar voice. He ran straight through the velvet curtains, to see a green fairy. It was Maleficent.
Finn hid off to the side, so he could attack at the right time.
"Come on, my fellow villains!" She waved her hand off to her right. He knew who she meant. Cruella De Ville and The Evil Queen emerged from off to the side, looking down at everyone.
"Look at all the worthless beings!" Cruella cackled. Everyone started to applaud for some reason. Nobody knew that this wasn't a show, yet. Finn had to warn them. Where were the rest of the Keepers when he needed them?
Finn went backstage, to find the rest of the Kingdom Keepers in the clutches of the pirates. Finn suddenly felt himself be grabbed ahold by something. He knew he had to have no fear. He closed his eyes, and cleared his mind. He started to see the light at the end of the tunnel... Finn felt himself fall to the ground. He eyed a microphone off to the side that had a red light on. That meant it was working.
Finn snatched the microphone, and yelled into it, "Everyone! Run! This is not a joke! It's the real Maleficent!" He heard an eruption of laughter come from behind the curtain. "I'm not lying! This is Finn from the Disney Hosts! Run, while you still can!" He heard more laughing from the amused audience.
Cruella De Ville stuck her head into the backstage, and hissed, "Quit it kid! You're ruining everything!" Was he wrong? Was it not Maleficent, and all an act? If it was, why were there pirates holding onto his friends? "Cruella" went back on stage.
"Has anyone ever told you not to judge a book by it's cover, Finn?" Finn heard a voice behind him. It was the real Maleficent. She clapped slowly, in an evil kind of way. "Lovely show, by the way. That distraction was exactly what we needed to recover something valuable." She held up a tattered journal, with a wicked grin. Finn dived for her, but fell into open space. He had failed, miserably. He went back to his friends, who all rushed to his side with many questions. He answered all of them no, until Willa asked, "Did she get away?"
"Yes. She did," he answered, slowly sinking into his chair.
