In the Shadows of Fate

Into the Pirate's Locker

Chapter 46

Meeting Prince Naveen

Mickey walked away from the empty lot and noticed a huge crowd of people over by the dock. It was mainly women, but plenty news reporters. Flashes of cameras shined as a man came down the steps. He looked worried, yet confused.
"Gosh, that must be Naveen." Said Mickey as he ran to him. "Mister Naveen?"
"Prince Naveen, little mouse, now I haven't the time to talk, I must go find my Tiana."
"But Prince Naveen, how do you still have your memory? Dr. Falceir used his magic to turn back the clock."
"The shadowman is behind this! Wait, his spell? That's why everything is as if it never happened. You see his magic is like, sand. it has to make contact with me and I sleep with a mask on."
"Oh, the eyes are windows to the mind. but everyone else has no memory."
"Yes, I must try to win over Tiana again. But in order to do that, I must be a frog cause she won't take a second look if "Prince" Naveen came."
"I have some spells. maybe I can turn you into a frog and I'm sure Dr. Falceir has Laurence with him. But just in case I'll send a broom to keep an eye on him."
"A broom?" Mickey put his hat on and rubbed his hands together. they started to glow. "Achedanza, you actually have magic." Mickey threw a ball of magic at a broom and then the broom jumped up and grew arms.
"Now if we needed to, we can figure out what Dr. Falceir is doing. We only have one problem. Turning you into a frog, but that kind of magic is evil. And the last time that happened it was for a dark deed by Dr. Falcier and I can only use light magic."
"I had the chance to read some books on magic and it says any kind of magic can be light magic if you think of it as a good deed." Mickey rubbed his hands together and they started to glow.
"It's working." he closed his eyes and whispered, "please work." he threw the ball of magic and Prince Naveen turned into a frog. "Great, now we need to get you to a party."

Chapter 47

A new shadow

Dr. Falceir looked into his orb and saw Naveen and Mickey running to the mayor's manor. He grunted as his eyes turned pitch black and started to leak a black gas. He rubbed his eyes and they turned back to normal. Laurence stood in fear shivering in the shadows. Many shadows stood around a table with an crystal ball in the center. one of the shadows began to speak.
"Temper, temper. You must be careful or you might go full darkness. And we don't want that now do we. Yet." The shadow spoke calmly as he stood and thought. the other shadows began to pitch ideas.
"We must find his weakness cause, c'mon everybody has a weakness. With pandora there was the box thing and the Trojans, hey, they bet on the wrong horse."
"But, mickey has only one weakness darling, and she is one tough rat. She can fight better than Mickey. what we need to do is set up traps."
"Let me go after him, lad. I'll spill his blood on the pavement. He won't even know I was there. he'll be sleeping with the fishes." all the shadows started to chatter. Dr. Falcier came to the conclusion to allow him to go.
"Fine, go. send Mickey to the locker." all the villains started to cheer. He stood up blew on a conch shell and walked out as undead skeletons and fish-men came out from the ground and followed him. All walked through the wall as if it was air.
"All this, voodoo madness is fun and all but I have a ball to attend." Laurence placed on a talisman and turned into Naveen as a human and walked out the door.

Chapter 48

Party crashers

The day turned into night as Mickey and Naveen quickly made there way to the manor for the costume ball.
"Now you must remember." said Mickey to Naveen. "You must have a kiss from Princess Tiana. No one else will break the spell."
"Don't you worry Mickey. I shall have Tiana mine once again." Naveen jumped up to the balcony where Tiana and Charlotte were changing and fixing their makeup. Mickey jumped up to the roof to watch the party and keep an eye out for trouble. An hour had passed and Tiana went up to Charlotte's room to change after Tiana's dress was ruined. all of the lights turned off and the band stopped playing music. when the lights came back the band had disappeared and there was a mysterious fog. In the distance there was a chat being said.
"Yo, ho, all together, hoist the colors high. Heave, ho, thieves and beggars, we shall never die." This went on over and over again. Mickey recognized the tune in fear. "That is the song of the Flying Dutchman. Davy Jones is here." And he was. He stood in the entrance and started to ask the party guest questions.
"Good evening, you worthless souls. I am Davy Jones. I have to ask where is Michey Mouse?" no one spoke a word and that unrated Davy Jones. "I'll ask once more." he pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the mayor. "Where is Mickey Mouse?" Mickey threw a ball of magic at the gun and nocked it out of Davy Jones's hand. "There ye are." Davy Jones walked up to Mickey and started to walk up the wall. "Little mouse, do ye fear death."
"I fear nothing!" Davy Jones pulled out his sword and started to attack mickey. Mickey was slightly quicker than him, but Davy Jones was able to keep up. Mickey pulled out a small music box and wound it up. When it played Davy Jones stopped in his tracks and began to cry. Mickey took his chance and attacked with a ball of magic. When it struck him hit binded him and struck his chest.

"Stupid mouse, I have no heart." He began to laugh and then he groaned. "What is this pain I feel?"

"You see Jones, my magic shock gave you a heart. Your pain is finally catching up." Davy Jones fell down and screamed, when he was at his peak he had only one word to say. "Calypso..." he faded to a shadow then dust. The lights went out once more and when they turned back on, the band was playing and everyone was dancing. "Everything looks like Davy jones never even showed. Now I just need to follow Naveen."
