Kouja no Senshi Christmas Special 2 2

Chapter 2: Story of the Nutcracker

The ones that had seen the image of the past looked confused.

Brisby: Huh? What's going on?

Tanya Mousekowitz: (notices) Where did everyone go?

Carl: I knew it! I knew it! We're trapped somewhere in the past, aren't we?

Others: Shh!

The others only looked concerned.

Lucario: We're the only ones here!

Pikachu: Pika!

Kairi: This place looks beautiful.

Others: Yeah.

Shirly: No, our minds are the only ones here. The actual bodies of ourselves are still listening to the tale.

William LaBouche: Goodness.

Shirly: You see, it's simple: I had the Major Doctor look at our Digivices.

Alice: You went to someone like her?

Courage: She's not as bad as she looks, okay?

There, they saw, in the hologram, what appeared to be a black haired boy in a pony tail helping a familiar man in an eyepatch as he took a key.

Drosselmeyer: Once upon a time, there was a fine looking young man called Hans.

Swiper: Hans...

Drosselmeyer: Who was apprentice to his uncle Delius Kristin Drosselmeyer, royal clockmaker and magician to the king and queen.

Clara: But that's your name!

Drosselmeyer: Yes, yes.

Nack: Borin-

Batula: (hits him) Quiet!

Nack: Ow! (glares) Bitch!

A few females waved to the boy, but the boy, Hans, wasn't looking where he was going and nearly bumped to a soldier, then looked at the giggling girls while blushing.

Drosselmeyer: Hans was...let me see...Hans had just turned 14. So he was a bit self-conscious, like all boys his age. He had dark hair, not handsome, but with a certain charm.

The boy then carried some tools to his uncle, who took the key and finished the clock before grinning to his nephew.

Drosselmeyer: He liked his work and was a great help to his uncle, who looked after all the clocks in the castle.

Inside the bathroom, though the females covered their eyes, was a short king in a tub, using a slingshot to sink a toy ship.

Drosselmeyer: Where the wise and noble king...

At the garden, after they uncovered their eyes, they saw a huge woman grinning as she plucked some flowers.

Drosselmeyer: And his charming queen...

Then, at the princess' room, a blonde girl was brushing her hair while looking at the mirrors.

Drosselmeyer: ...lived with their beautiful daughter, Princess Perlipat.

She grinned at where the group was.

Perlipat: Hello.

Goofy: Hello.

Donald: Goofy!

Goofy: What? I was being nice to the lady.

Daisy: It's a hologram, Goofy.

Skye: Um, so Uncle Swiper, was it true you actually came to the past?

Swiper: Well...yeah...when I swiped Dora's Shen Gong Wu and accidentally activated it.

Mickey: (peeking) Yeah, and Swiper ended up where Dad, the queen, and I saw him. I think he got along well with both me and especially Dad during his temporary stay.

Swiper: One problem was...the clockmaker himself found the Sands of Time. It's not that I don't trust him, it's that if he accidentally activated it, I wouldn't have a way to get home...so until then, I stayed with Selene, thanks to her spell of shrinking me...

The group then saw all the guards running around and preparing the food.

Drosselmeyer: Now, on this particular day, everyone was rushing like mad, for it was the king's birthday.

Swiper: (uneasy) Oh great.

Outside, many nobles with gifts were lined outside as each one came in with a present, though they tossed the gifts at a pile of gifts.

Drosselmeyer: And he had invited a long list of dukes, duchesses, and lords and ladies to celebrate the day with him.

In the dining room, the king was waiting impatiently while the princess was grinning while looking in her mirror. Inside the kitchen, the queen was designing the blue cheese cake with icing and candles on it.

Drosselmeyer: While the queen was in the kitchen, hard at work, baking the royal birthday cake. Oh, this was no ordinary cake, though, it was a blue cheesecake, the king's favorite.

Clara: (shocked) Blue cheese cake?! Yuck!

Mr. Fussy: Somehow, looking at it makes me more repulsive!

Mr. Messy: Hey, he likes the same cake I do! Speaking of blue cheese...

He then took out a sock, then took out some blue cheese.

Mr. Messy: I made one out of my sock cheese.

Mr. Fussy: Gah! Put that away!

Berry: Fuzzy likes blue cheese, but not in a cake!

Courage: It's worse than having vinegar on everything.

The man chuckled as the queen then placed the final touches on the cake until a female mouse in clothes jumped on a stool.

Drosselmeyer: All of a sudden, the Mouse Queen appeared.

She laughed wickedly as she looked at the queen.

Mickey: (quietly) Oh no...I think I remember...

Pinky: Brain, isn't that Granny Mouse Queen?

Brain: Pinky, first off, her name's Selene, second, she wasn't your grandmother back then and this was even before you got adopted.

Selene: Hey, sister, give me some of that cheese. I'm a queen, too.

She yelped a bit.

Selene: (smirks) And I want something to eat...right this minute!

Then, a familiar fat mouse in the hologram appeared (though minus the crown).

Past Hiram: Me too! Gimme, gimme! (grins) Cheese, cheese, cheese!

All of a sudden, more mice appeared as they squeaked and ran to the cake. Just about all the mice went to the cake, gobbling it as the queen screamed before she started to cry while the masked fox looked a bit surprised.

Queen: Ooooh, dearie me!

Clara: How silly for a grown woman.

Drosselmeyer: (chuckles) Well, the king was alot silly, too.

Inside the dining room, the king growled as he shouted.

King: I want my cake! (slams his fists down) I want my cake! My cake! My cake! I WANT MY CAKE!

The guards then rushed from the dining room toward the kitchen. All while Minnie looked at Mickey.

Minnie: You and your colony stole blue cheese cake?

Mickey: It was her idea, actually. And we were all still living there at the time...plus I was still a child then.

The mice then saw the kitchen again as a young five-year-old Mickey with a worried look came to the queen, clearing his throat.

Past Mickey: Your Majesty?

Selene: Gah! What do you want?

Past Mickey: Why are we doing this? I mean the humans need this more than we do.

Selene: (glancing) What are you saying?

Past Mickey: Well, I don't think these humans are so bad.

Selene: Your grandfather was killed by a human trap just like your real mother and father were the day my son found you and took you in as his own kin.

Past Mickey: Listen, can't we just split up and, you know, leave the nest?

Selene: (glares) We don't leave our nests! We make them bigger!

Past Mickey: Maybe I'm a different kind of mouse!

Selene: Maybe you're not a mouse at all!

Past Mickey: Maybe that's a good thing for once!

The younger seven-year old Pinky then yelped as he began to speak.

Pinky: Narf, uh, how about you take some of the cookies as well? Ha-ha-ha.

But it was no use as the two continued glaring.

Past Mickey: Mice, like rats, all we do is take! And I'm tired of taking! I wanna make things! (points to the colony) I wanna add something to this world!

Selene: (angrily) You're talking like a human!

Past Mickey: They're not as bad as you say!

Selene: Oh really? What makes you so sure?

Before he could speak, the doors opened as they gasped, noticing the guards.

Guard 1: The cake! The cake!

The guards then noticed the cake, looking moldy and nearly tilted. Most of the mice, still eating, gasped as the younger Pinky looked confused while looking at the hologrammed Brain.

Past Pinky: Uh, this would not be a good time to tell you about the cake, right? Narf.

Past Brain: Pinky, we must leave!

As the past Swiper peeked, he noticed the mice heading in the mouse hole he hid in. As he yelped while being grabbed by the past Hiram, the mice quickly left as the guards looked disgusted at the cake.

Guard 1: (confused) That's the cake!?

They then looked at the still crying woman with part of the place flooded.

Guard 2: That's the cake.

Guard 1: Pee-ew!

The two then carried the cake, heading back to the dining room.

King's Voice: Bring me my cake!

They passed a blower that was about to play, but he smelled the smell, turned green, shriveled, and fainted, dropping from the second floor. In the dining room, the cake was presented to the king as he looked confused and angry. The guests then made it look like they liked it.

Lady Guest: Yes!

Many of them clapped a bit.

Guests: Oh! Yes! Oh yes! Marvelous. Excellent.

The guests continued applauding as the princess looked disgusted.

King: Yes, well uh...thank you. Thank you. Yes, uh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. He-he. Thank you.

He prepared to slice the cake until Perlipat shouted.

Perlipat: Ew! Papa! That is the ugliest cake I've ever seen. It's absolutely disgusting! (turns away) I won't eat it.

The guests and old man looked stunned at what she said. Just then, a familiar crying woman came, running from the second balcony, down the first floor, and rushing through the guests near the table before finally arriving to her husband as she shouted.

Queen: (crying) Oh, my poor royal husband! Forgive me! It's all the Mouse Queen's fault!

His face turned red with anger as he shouted.

King: Off with her head!

The guards then lifted the queen, but he glared at them.

King: Not her, you dumkkaufs!

They dropped her as he continued.

King: The Mouse Queen's!

The two then began to head off until the queen spoke.

Queen: Bu-but, my dearest dumpling. Well, thou have to catch her first.

They stopped while the king groaned.

King: What!?

The king then glared at both Drosselmeyer and Hans.

King: Well, don't just stand there, do something!

The two ran off, heading to do what their king said.

Warren: This is pathetic.

Carl, meanwhile, groaned as he shoved some of his food he betted to Grounder, who won a card game.

Carl: Tell me about it. I'm being beaten by a dumb bot!

Grounder: Sorry, but that's how it's played.

Mortimer: Not that, ya dork! (turns him around) That!

They looked at the group as Clara spoke.

Clara: What did he do?

Drosselmeyer: Well, he decided that the time had come to invent the mousetrap.

Clara: Oh, Uncle Drosselmeyer.

Miss Chatterbox: Weren't they invented already?

Rini: I think he meant better mousetraps.

Miss Sunshine: Oh yeah...

Mickey: (sighs) I remember...and I was the first one captured when trying to get dad away from it.

Minnie: Mickey...

The next scene then showed the first mouse trap, a cage that was hidden with a piece of food, set and prepared as the Mouse King in the hologram noticed.

Past Mouse King: Well, well, there's food here.

Minnie: Is that...?

Mickey: Yep, unfortunately, and this part here will explain why he hated humans.

Both Swiper and Mickey's past selves gasped as his father was almost close to the trap.

Past Mickey: Dad, don't go in there!

He was shoved out quickly, but Mickey was trapped inside it. Mickey gasped as Drosselmeyer and Hans found the young mouse and took him.

Past Mickey: Dad! Help me!!!

Past Hiram: Mickey...no...

He then glared angrily to the two that had trapped him.

Past Hiram: (angrily) Those humans...they're going to kill my son and there's nothing I can do! These humans...they will pay for this!

Past Swiper: I'm sorry...I really am.

He was about to touch the mouse's shoulder, but the fat mouse slapped it off.

Past Hiram: Don't touch me!

He then left while Minnie looked worried.

Minnie: Is that why he hates humans?

Mickey: Yes, but it's not the reason why he's after the Nutcracker.

Swiper: You'll see what we mean when we get there, hopefully.

As Drosselmeyer spoke, many various mice were captured by each trap, one of the trapdoor gag, one of a cheese inside a ball trap, and finally, a mouse with Pinky and the Brain as they finished their cheese inside the tray cover.

Drosselmeyer: They managed to capture all of the mice.

The last two were placed inside the cage while two familiar mice and a familiar fox on top of a gargoyle statue glared at the humans.

Drosselmeyer: All the mice, but the Mouse Queen and her one and only son.

Swiper: (to himself) And me...

The queen frowned as she spoke.

Selene: How dare they! They won't get away with this.

Past Hiram: (frowns) Yeah, let me at them! They're not as tough as my cousin, Vlad!

Past Swiper: So who's Vlad?

Past Hiram: This is a picture of him!

He showed the picture of Vladimere the Deadly with doodle marks on him.

Past Hiram: I rather not see his face around. And believe me, you're better off not knowing who he is!

He angrily drew devil horns on the picture.

Past Swiper: No kidding, I can't even tell what he really looks like!

He then swung his sword as he slid to the bottom of the gargoyle.

Past Hiram: I'll skewer them! I'll slice 'em in two! I'll make mincemeat out of them! I'll turn them into-

Selene: (annoyed) Oh, hush up!

Carl: Yeesh, and I thought mother was troubling.

Hiram: (groans) Don't remind me.

Ratigan: Hmph, so that's Selene.

Kate: She looks very mean.

Adelaine: She wasn't always like this...when the king died is when she changed.

That night, as the white haired man continued narrating, the two uncaught mice with a concerned fox snuck to where the princess was sleeping at. Both the maid and cat were asleep as well.

Drosselmeyer: And that night, the Mouse Queen and her son crept into Princess Perlipat's bedchamber.

Yumi: That queen, she ain't so tough! I could fight her with my hands tied behind my back.

Ami: Yumi!

The queen grinned wickedly as she with her son headed near the foot of the bed while Swiper only hid himself near the hole. The female mouse then hopped up to where Princess' foot stuck out. She then started chanting a strange spell as she spoke evilly.

Selene: Eyes like ashure, be as stone, teeth like pearls, be as bone

Her shadow made a strange evil looking claws as she continued.

Selene: Ugly as the night is young, never man shall right this wrong.

Gus: Oh no! Queenie, no!

However, Jaq pulled him back.

Jaq: Gus-Gus, it's just a hologram!

The female mouse then bit her toe as Princess Perlipat screamed. She then started turning into an ugly creature while she continued crying.

Selene: Let's go, son.

The queen laughed as they quickly made their escape into the mouse hole, which the cat collided in. The maid and cat awoke, then the cat screeched as the maid screamed just as Perlipat, the now-monstrous girl, stopped screaming.

Maid: AHHHHHH!!!!

All: Ewww!

Coconuts: Gross.

Carl: Even I wouldn't touch her with a 50 foot pole.

Scratch: Second.

The next day in the hologram, as one of the statue makers was making another statue in the throne room, the king banged his head on the throne while the queen weeped.

King: Woe is me. Woe is me. My poor little girl!

He then turned angrily to Drosselmeyer.

King: You! This is all your fault!

Mr. Messy: (mock King voice) You made me star in this story.

Drosselmeyer looks confused as the other one gasped as the executioner, grinning, prepared the axe while Drosselmeyer was given the basket.

King: Off with his head!

Nack: Hey, you ain't the Duchess, pal.

Drosselmeyer: What are you boys doing?

Psycho: Oh, sorry, we watch MST3K so many times, we thought we should comment on this

Drosselmeyer: I see.

But the queen spoke, stopping the executioner from chopping the man's head off.

Queen: But cuddle kins. Shouldn't we give them a chance to cure our daughter?

King: What?

Queen: You can always chop his head off. How about say, tomorrow?

Mr. Rude: (mock Queen voice) I got a headache, tomorrow.

Clara: Boys, please. Can we watch this without the commentary?

Boys: No!

Clara: (cross arms) Well, excuse me!

He sighed and nodded before looking at Drosselmeyer.

King: You have 24 hours to cure the princess or-

He then made a slit symbol near his neck. Hans gulped as did some of the kids.

Miss Sunhhine: Oh my goodness.

Psycho: He made a slit symbol! Cool, huh?!

Miss Sunshine: No it isn't!

It then changed to the next night with Past Swiper getting worried. He looked at Selene laughing before she continued.

Selene: Now, soon those humans will make sure that they learned their lesson in capturing my admiring subjects.

Past Swiper: What's that got to do with anything? I mean sure they killed your family and friends-

Selene: (slaps him) That no good brat is no grandson of mine!

Swiper: (to himself) I really hate her.

He looked stunned at her before she continued.

Selene: Besides, I'm sure that shrink spell will wear off on you after you get to your real home.

Past Swiper: Look lady, I can't get home without that hourglass, Sands of Time, and I need your help.

Selene: Me? Help you? Ha-ha-ha! That's rich! Those stupid humans don't even realize that the Krakatuth Nut is the cure for the princess.

The mouse quickly covered her mouth with Past Swiper giving out a smug look.

Past Swiper: Thanks, Queenie. Now I know how to get the Sands of Time.

With that, the fox left as Selene shouted.

Selene: Hey, get back here, Fox, so you can get punished!

That evening, the two watched the princess as she cried sometimes.

Drosselmeyer: Hour after hour, he sat and the princess wept as he sat and thought deeper and deeper into despair.

Drosselmeyer, in the past, sighed sadly.

Hans: Poor Princess Perlipat.

Frankie: Poor?! She is a rich guy. How about butt ugly?

Mac: Yep!

The princess then stopped as she saw him taking out a nut. He gave her the nut, placing it on her long tongue, then she ate it with a grin.

Hans: Well, she seems to like nuts.

Donald: She must dated guys who is consider nuts.

Courage: Yeah.

Perlipat cried once more.

Past Drosselmeyer: Nuts...

Mr. Stubborn: (mock Drosselmeyer) I smell like crap.

Alan: (annoyed) Okay, you idiots stop talking through the rest of this. Next one who make a MST3K comment like that will be shot at.

Clara: He's kidding about the shooting part. (to herself) Right?

He then realized something as he grinned.

Past Drosselmeyer: Nuts! Nuts! (gets up) Hurry, Hans, come with me!

With that, the two left the room as the princess continued crying. The two then continued onward until they were out of the castle and into a library tower. As they entered the tower, the two went to work as Drosselmeyer went to a desk with a telescope and crystal ball as well as some old scrolls. Hans, meanwhile, went to the books, looking through them.

Drosselmeyer: Drosselmeyer and Hans worked all that night. Hans reading everything he could ever find about love and hate, good and evil, and other such instances. While Drosselmeyer gazed into the crystal ball, consulted the stars, and charted the path of Perlipat's destiny, which was no easy matter.

Time passed as the man looked tired. The fox then noticed some paper, then unrolled it, showing it to the older human, much to the eye-patched man's shock and surprise.

Mina Mongoose: Swiper, was that...

Swiper: Sssh!

The past tired Drosselmeyer loked at the scroll while Hans yawned, trying to stay awake. Drosselmeyer then grinned as he spoke, looking at the picture of the nut in the scroll, then rolled it up.

Past Drosselmeyer: That's it! The Krakatuth Nut!

Stupid: Huh?

Wheezy: (coughs) I don't get it either.

Timmy Brisby: It's some sort of nut.

Jenny McBride: I guess we'll have to keep watching.

He made the scroll go back as a roll. He then looked at the fox with a grin on his face.

Past Drosselmeyer: Thank you, small fox. If there is anything I can help you with-

Swiper: Sure thing. Uh, and it's a bit silly, but can I use your hourglass you found? I need it for something.

Past Drosselmeyer: After helping us, I thank you. And I'm sure that you will need it more than I do.

Swiper smiled as he took the hourglass, though it was a bit heavy

Drosselmeyer: There is more to the story....

Hiram: (quietly) Oh no...

They saw the king, pacing around, and the weeping queen saw the two coming inside, with the man holding the book.

Past Drosselmeyer: Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

The book was opened as they were in front of the king.

Past Drosselmeyer: All Princess Perlipat has to do to break the spell is eat the Krakatuth Nut.

Queen: (grins) Oh. The Krakatuth Nut is part of the royal collection. It's in the royal nut house.

Past Drosselmeyer: (reading) The Krakatuth Nut is the hardest nut in the world. It must be cracked for the princess by a young man who has never worn boots. And he must hand it over to her with his eyes closed, then take seven steps backwards without stumbling.

King: Oh, is that all?

He then went back to the throne as he continued.

King: Let it be known that whoever cracks the nut shall win my daughter's hand and become prince of the land!

He then chuckled as he remembered something.

King: Only nobility need to apply, of course. (looks at them) Oh, and tell them not to wear boots!

They bowed and headed off. Now the fox was shown heading to Selene and Hiram, much to the mouse queen's anger.

Past Swiper: Hiram, Mouse Queen, I got it back! Now I can go home and-

Just then, he noticed an angry look on her.

Selene: You dare to give the humans the cure?! You traitor!

Then, a slash sound was heard while a scream was heard, echoing all around the kingdom. Past Swiper, hit by Selene's claws, winced in pain. After a moment, he uncovered his left eye, showing a scar on it.

Mina Mongoose: Swiper!

Ami: Oh dear Swiper-chan.

Yumi: No wonder he wears that mask.

Selene: (glares) You idiot! What have you done!? I was about to take my revenge and you gave them the cure for some stupid hourglass!

Past Swiper: Please, let me explain-

Selene: Forget it! From this day forward, you're exiled! You hear me? That's my final judgment as queen!

She then headed off with Hiram looking concerned. He was about to near him before the older mouse called to him.

Selene: Hiram, come on! We have to make sure that no one can crack that nut.

Past Swiper only looked down for a moment. After a while, a long line of the royal men were in line. The ones up ahead had their boots removed and their eyes blindfolded.

Drosselmeyer: Noble men came from all corners of the kingdom to try their luck. One-by-one, they were blindfolded.

Clara: Why blindfolded?

Drosselmeyer: Why? Because the princess was just too ugly to be seen.

Raye: No kidding.

Alice: Gross.

Mr. Messy: You know what else is gross? Where I keep my tuna.

Mr. Messy then lifted his foot, then took off the bottom, showing some tuna goop as he started sucking on it.

Mr. Fussy: Oh dear goodness!

All: (sweatdrops) Ooookay...

The ones already barefoot and blindfolded formed a single line to the throne room. The audience was blindfolded as well. Only the king, queen, Drosselmeyer, and Hans (dressed as a soldier) remained without blindfolds as Hans held the pillow with a nut on it.

Drosselmeyer: Only the king and queen were to look at her, as well as Drosselmeyer and Hans. Hans, himself, held the velvet pillow, which rested the amazing Krakatuth Nut.

The man with the eyepatch then picked up the nut, then gave it to the first person. He placed it on his teeth, trying to crack it, but had his teeth broken as he screamed, leaving the room while the audience was in confusion.

King: (glares) NEXT!

The next one came up to try his luck. Unknown to anyone, the Mouse Queen and her son watched as the female laughed wickedly after the next victim broke his teeth.

Selene: Ha-ha-ha!

The male frowned a bit while she looked at her son.

Selene: (smirks) Watch this. Not one of them will break this spell.

King: (growls) NEXT!

Past Hiram: (mockingly) Spells, spell, spells. (frowns) Who cares about spells?!

Hiram: (sigh) I wasn't that bad back then, was I?

Adelaine: (worried) Hiram...

He then looked at the victim breaking his teeth as he chuckled.

Past Hiram: Now this...this is...tough!

Selene: Tough? Ha-ha-ha-ha!

He frowned as he glared at her.

Past Hiram: (to himself) That's more annoying than ignoring her own people when concentrating on her spells.

Hiram: Well, it's true!

Coconuts: Geez, I can tell you got a bad upbringing back then.

Hiram: You're surprised?

King: NEXT!

The next victim tried to crack it, but howled in pain before he left.

King: Next! Next NEEEEXT!

As Drosselmeyer spoke next, the latest victim ran out. After a few more went to try their luck, the males that weren't blindfolded saw the latest victim on a lifter being carried out. The ones not blindfolded gasped, then quickly left.

Drosselmeyer: One after another, they've tried. But not one succeeded. Finally, there was only one remaining contestant left.

The last one prepared to crack the nut, but only broke his teeth, screaming. He then dashed out as the female mouse laughed at the failure while Past Swiper is nearby, unknown to her, watching them.

Selene: Ha-ha-ha! (hits his gut) What did I tell you? I've done it

He cringed, holding his wound as she glared at him.

Selene: (frowns) And you! My stupid son!

She then started stomping his foot and slapping him with her glove.

Mouse Queen: You doubted me, you stupid, stupid, stupid boy!

Past Hiram: Ow! That hurts!

Jake: Dawg, that hag needs to be called in for child abuse, even if her son is a grown up mouse.

Betty: Right. How should she do that to her own boy?

Drosselmeyer: The story is not over yet.

Pinky: Brain, is it me or did she seem not to actually care about us at that point?

Brain: Quiet, Pinky.

Mickey only sighed at what had just happened.

Minnie: I don't know who to feel sorry for more: your dad or the princess.

Perlipat sniffed, gulped, then cried as she had tears coming out of her eyes.

Hans: (sighs) Poor Perlipat.

The king growled as he jumped out of the throne.

King: I knew it! I knew it!

He then went over to the cushion with the nut.

King: (angrily) I knew it! I knew it!

He then went over to the cushion with the nut.

King: I knew no one could break this nut!

He glared at it, then tossed it, turning away, unknown to him, that it ricochet all around the area until it went back to the pillow.

King: (jumps to his throne) OFFF WITH HIS HEAD!

Sylvester: Geez, this guy's temper makes Yosemite Sam's look tame in comparison. (looks around) Well, back to finding those mice to eat.

The executioner, also blindfolded, grinned with glee as he took his ax. The man with the eyepatch yelped as the guard, also blindfolded, placed the basket down while the executioner tried slashing his head. He kept missing until Hans looked at the nut.

Goten: What's he gonna do with that nut?

Amy: Just watch.

He then took off his shoes, then placed the nut in his mouth. He then pulled the back of his ponytail, which helped him crack the nut. The king, queen, Drosselmeyer, Selene, and son looked shocked at what he did.

Delete: He broke it?

Miss Sunshine: Hooray!

Mr. Grumpy: I knew it.

Miss Milly: You did?

Mr. Grumpy: Come on, it's bound to happen sooner or later.

Past Drosselmeyer: (to himself) It's good to have a nephew. At least the young mouse who convinced me to release him and his people are free.

Minnie overheard as she looked surprised.

Minnie: Mickey, you convinced Drosselmeyer to let you and the others out?

Mickey: It's a good thing, too. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be here.

Hans had his eyes closed as he walked over to where Princess Perlipat was. She sniffed the nut, then ate the nut in one gulp. Just then, she began to transform. First into a rhino, then a bird, then a pig, and finally, back to herself. The old couple grinned while everyone removed their blindfolds. Drosselmeyer smiled as the audience looked happily at her.

All: Ooooh, aaah!

The mouse queen growled in anger while the audience spoke of Princess Perlipat.

Male Member: Her radiant beauty.

Female Member: Her eyes like ashure.

African Member: Taste like pearls.

Some of the males fainted lovingly upon her sight as Perlipat grinned, looking at a mirror.

Perlipat: And skin like silk!

Mr. Rude: Ugh. They have no dignity or idea of beauty back then.

Suddenly a shot went by him, nearly hitting Mr. Rude much to his alarm. Alan, holding a gun that has a barrel smoking, frowns.

Alan: I wasn't kidding!!!

The male mouse grinned as the female looked worried.

Selene: Noooo! That can't be! (angrily) I forbid it!

She slapped her fist on her paw as her son grinned.

Past Hiram: I told you! I told you!

Kate: (pause) Thank god you mature a bit.

Hiram: Hey, that was before the...incident.

Selene: (narrows) I'm not finished yet!

Queen: (hugging her husband) Oh, goodie, goodie! What happy day.

Hans then began to step backwards with his eyes closed.

Hans: 1...2...3...4...

As he prepared to take the next steps, the queen hid behind the pillars as she chanted her spell.

Mouse Queen: The spell you broke on your head falls, you shall crack nuts, prince of the dolls.

The uncle gasped and noticed Hans about to head to where the female mouse was.

Hans: 5...6...

Past Drosselmeyer: (gasps) Hans!

Hans: 7-

Just then, the Mouse Queen bit his foot as he screamed and began to tumble down. He then hit the pillar, causing them to fall as Hans was instantly transformed into the nutcracker Clara had.

Goofy: Oh no! Poor Hans!

Nack: One word: bitch queen.

Rouge: Nack!

Nack: What? She is.

The mouse queen ran as did her son. The pillars were tumbling down as the mice ran. Hiram then noticed Past Swiper, noticing too late, about to be crushed by the pillar he was under.

Hiram: Swiper!

Mina Mongoose: I can't watch!

Miss Naughty: I can.

Past Hiram: Get out of the way!

He shoved Swiper away just as the last pillar fell. The two were safe, however, the mouse screamed and shouted with his tail under the pillar instead.

Past Hiram: Ow! My tail! My tail...my precious, precious tail!

He pulled out his tail, which looked bent as he continued.

Past Hiram: (shocked) It's bent! (teary) It's all crooked and...(sniffs) flattened.

Mina Mongoose: (surprised) Wow...so he really did save Swiper.

Mr. Grumpy: You know my opinion?

Alan: Don't make me-

However, a quill hit him before he fell to the ground.

Miss Naughty: I knew taking these quills from Argit and Delta were a good idea. He-he-he.

Miss Chatterbox: Don't say something bad about him after what happened.

Mr. Grumpy: I'm just stating a fact...he should've wrapped his tail on himself before saving Swiper to avoid the incident.

Swiper: He didn't have time, okay?

Mr. Rude: The story is making me bored. I think I'll have some of this...food.

He ate one before grunting, spitting it out.

Mr. Rude: The food is terrible! What am I eating?

He picked up a note, frowning as he read it.

Mr. Rude: (reading) Made by Endive?! Gah! No wonder Mung hates her! Her food is terrible!

The mouse then turned around and shouted.

Past Hiram: (angrily) Mother! (shows his tail) Look! Look what you've done!

Past Swiper: Huh? Selene?

The two noticed something wrong as the fox saw the crown on the ground and the two began to worry.

Past Hiram: Momsey? Momsey?

The two then gasped as they saw the arm, leg, tail, and part of the snout of the dead mouse crushed under the pillar.

Past Hiram: (gasps) Momsey! (worried) You're...you're...you're...DEAD!

The mouse then looked down with sadness as he spoke.

Past Hiram: My poor, sweet momsey! Oh, how I miss you.

Grounder: I thought he hated her.

Scratch: (elbows him) You're ruining his moment, dumb bot!

Grounder: Ow.

He whimpered and turned around, looking back at the dead mouse.

Past Hiram: I'm all alone! Just me...and your crown.

Past Swiper: Yeah...Godspeed, Your Majesty.

He sniffed a little, then began to realize and grinned as he eyed on the ground. He then chuckled as he picked up the crown.

Past Hiram: Ha-ha-ha-ha! Ha! I'm king! I am the Mouse King! Ha-ha-ha! (shouts) I AM THE MOUSE KING! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!

The mouse king then turned to his dead mom as he glared at her.

Past Hiram: (angrily) You and your stupid spells! (spits on the floor) That'll teach you.

Past Swiper: (sweatdrops) Uh oh.

The fox looked worried while the mouse looked at the situation.

Adelaine: Oh dear me...so that's how the queen died and he became king.

Papa Mousekowitz: At least the kingdom became better.

Brain: Barely. Why else was one of my goals of taking over the world so important for us?

Fievel: (looks down) I know...

Back with the others, the crowd looked shocked on what happened as Drosselmeyer ran to the toy that was once his nephew.

Past Drosselmeyer: No! Hans!

The princess frowned as she turned her head away.

Perlipat: Ugh! Take that ugly creature away!

Darry: Bleck! And you told us she was pretty. Well, she's the one who's ugly! And if she were real-

Kaylee: Darry!

King: (glares) Why it's a nutcracker! How dare you try to pass that nutcracker on me as a son-in-law! Him a prince? Ha! Prince of the Dolls maybe!

Mr. Nervous: Eep! Is he gonna be killed?

Courage: I think there's something much worse than that.

King: (to Drosselmeyer) I banish you and that nutcracker from my kingdom forever!

The uncle looked stunned at what happened. The king turned to the audience as he shouted.

King: Come! Let the festivities begin! To the hall of mirrors!

Perlipat: (grins) Oh, yes! Yes! Yes! That's my favorite place!

They then left as Psycho looked confused, spitting his drink onto Mr. Fussy.

Psycho: There was a hall of mirrors during that time!?

Mr. Fussy: (glares) Psycho!

Miss Timid: (worried) So that's it? No happy end?

Greasy: I say it's better this way. She looks ugly to us.

Swiper: (looks down) The good news was that Selene no longer reigned her terror. Bad news was that I may have made the worst mistake in my life.

Swiper turned to the fat mouse before speaking.

Past Swiper: Come on, I think we should get out of here.

Past Hiram: You leave. I still have to tell them that the damn human crushed my tail!

Past Swiper: It wasn't his fault. Your bitch of a queen mother did that!

Past Hiram: (slaps him) Shut up! Don't talk to her like that! Only I get to.

Past Swiper: Listen here, if you're so tough, why don't you tell Drosselmeyer yourself about how you really feel?

Past Hiram: Hmmm...you know, I think I will.

As soon as they noticed everyone gone, the man looked at his now toy nephew with worry.

Past Drosselmeyer: Hans...my poor nephew...what have I done to you? Forgive me...I promise you that I'll find a way to break the spell, no matter what.

Past Hiram's Voice: Save your breath, old man!

He then turned as he looked at the fat mouse glaring at him.

Past Hiram: Do you know what he did?

He then showed his tail to the man as he hugged his tail.

Past Hiram: Well, look! Look at this! (weeping) It hurts...

The fat mouse then glared angrily at the human with toy.

Past Hiram: He'll pay for this! (points to himself) 'Cause I'm the Mouse King! Me! And I'm gonna build a mighty army and no one shall stop me! No one!

He then went to the man with eyepatch as he continued.

Past Hiram: And if you think that your precious nephew, Hans is ugly now, Ha!

He then ran out of the palace, shouting.

Past Hiram: (shouting) WAIT 'TIL I TURN HIM INTO A PILE OF SPLINTERS! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

The human looked down as he frowned, all alone with the toy. Swiper, however, only looked worried.

Past Swiper: What have I done? (shouts) Sands of Time!

In an instant, he was gone.

Clara: That's a terrible story. Hans should have become Prince of the land and lived happily ever after.

Drosselmeyer: Well, he is kind of a prince.

Clara: (frowns) The prince of the dolls!

Drosselmeyer: Exactly! And he would rule over the land of the dolls.

She then looked at the nutcracker once more.

Clara: If there is such a place. And even if it is, he'll still be a nutcracker.

Drosselmeyer: No, no! The spell will be broken when he slays the mouse king!

Clara: (takes out her hand) And wins the hand of the fair young maiden.

Drosselmeyer: Precisely.

Many of them only had concerned looks. Clara only sighed as she looked at her kitten, heading out of the hologram area.

Clara: Oh, Pavlova, why are all fairy stories the same?

When she was gone, Rini looked at the man with eyepatch.

Rini: Well, I believe he exists. I mean Slumberland exists, right?

Drosselmeyer: I had heard rumors.

Mr. Lazy: Watching the story is alot of hard work.

Psycho: (annoyed) No it isn't.

Goofy: Gawrsh! I wonder what happened to Mick and the others in that story?

Daisy: Let's find out.

They looked at the scene with the young Mickey looking around.

Past Mickey: Gotta find dad. I hope he's okay.

He then noticed a familiar fat mouse running to him.

Past Mickey: Dad? (smiles) Dad! I'm over here!

Past Hiram: (shocked) Mickey? You're alive!?

Past Mickey: Yeah, dad.

The two hugged one another while Mortimer looked disgusted.

Mortimer: Ick! I think I'm gonna toss my dinner if I had started eating.

Brisby: Mortimer!

Adelaine: Don't ruin this moment.

The young mouse looked around as he looked concerned.

Past Mickey: Where's your mom, dad?

Past Hiram: Dead...I think some things were better left off. Come on before they discover-

The chefs then gasped as they saw the mice.

Chefs: RATS!

The chefs got out their cooking utensils, about to hit them.

Past Hiram: RUN!

The two quickly ran, trying to avoid the chefs while Gus gasped.

Gus: They're gonna get killed, Jaq-Jaq! We have to save them!

Before the man with the eyepatch could notice, the mice quickly grabbed Gus, taking him back inside the bag.

Jaq: Gus-Gus, get back here! You're gonna expose us to people who hate rodents!

The mice continuously ran, trying not to get hit by any of the appliances. The two yelped as they were near a dead end.

Past Mickey: Dad, what do we do now?

Past Hiram: We pray, Mickey...

The lead chef was about to use his knife on the hologrammed mice.

All (but Drosselmeyer): Oh no!

All of a sudden, some sort of powder was thrown to the chefs, hitting them. Luckily, the mice weren't hit by the strange powder that made them sneeze.

Past Hiram: Run!

The two ran as they saw two familiar white mice using a slingshot to shoot out some sort of sneezing powder.

Past Brain: Are you all right, Mouse Prince?

Past Hiram: I'm the Mouse King now. My mother's dead.

Past Pinky: (sadly) Just like my mom and pop. And my sister was thrown into a trash can.

Past Brain: Pinky, that was a spool of thread.

Past Pinky: (sniffs) You're just making it worse!

Past Brain: The sneezing powder won't last long. I suggest we leave, Your Majesty.

Past Hiram: Good, and after this, from this point on, you're my bishop.

Past Brain: (grins) Yes!

Past Pinky: And where am I gonna go?

Mickey sighed as the mice ran to the mouse hole where the mouse colony waited.

Past Hiram: You know, Mick...since I'm king, that makes you and Pinky princes.

Past Mickey: Princes? You mean-

Past Hiram: Well, he's got nowhere else to go. (to Pinky) How about it? How would you like to be my son and Mickey's brother?

Past Pinky: (grins) Oh, that would be wonderful! Narf!

The mice and the colony then made their escape before the hologram finished and everything went back to normal.

Mr. Ages: I must say...you have grown since then.

Hiram: I try not to think of the past at times.

Drosselmeyer: I sense some of your friends are toys...how did this happen?

Donald: It's a long story.

Drosselmeyer: I have time for yours.

Shirly: It all started when the Phantom Blot took Mickey from Disney Castle...

As she was explaining, Swiper headed to the opened area, where Hiram's group took no notice. When the male fox removed his mask, then placed Mickey and Minnie down, the fox looked seriously.

Swiper: I have a bad feeling about this, Mickey.

Mickey: Why do you say that, Swiper?

Swiper: I get the horrible feeling that Hiram's here and is gonna take his vengeance.

Mickey: Don't worry, we'll find him.

Minnie: Hopefully we can convince him not to take this silly revenge.

Swiper: (seriously) Does me getting a scar seem silly to you!?

The two mice looked concerned before the male mouse patted his big paw.

Mickey: We'll be back. I promise.

With that, the two headed off. However, as he was arriving to the others, he realized something before yelping.

Swiper: Yipes, forgot my mask.

Shirly: ...then when we encountered-

She stopped, noticing Swiper heading off.

Shirly: Excuse me...(to the Chatterboxes) Continue from where I left off.

Chatterboxes: Right.

Courage: Shirly?

The dog noticed before the two dogs followed Swiper. With Mickey, he and Minnie noticed Mortimer with Ratigan smirking.

Ratigan: Hello, young prince.

Mickey: Ratigan!

He brought out his keyblade.

Mickey: What are you doing here?

Ratigan: I'm just merely watching your father take his vengeance.

Mickey: Dad? He's here?

Minnie: Where is he?

Hiram arrived as he pulled the two mice away.

Hiram: Right here and don't even try to do what I think you're doing rat ass!

Ratigan: I am shocked. Why would I do anything to harm you?

Hiram: Look, as soon as I kill Hans, I am leaving Team Spicer for good!

Minnie: (notices) Looks like Swiper's here.

Ratigan: Good, uh, I mean hide!

He dragged the three mice before they hid with Warren glancing. Then, Swiper looked around while unknown to either of them, the dogs came as well.

Swiper: Hiram...if you're out here...please come back.

Hiram: I can't hear him. What did he say?

The cat in disguise and rat only grinned cruelly.

Warren: He says if you're out here, don't come back.

Mickey: Wha?

Swiper: (looks down) It's all my fault. I never should have gone to the past in accident.

Ratigan: Apparently, he says it's your fault and he should have let you die in the pillars.

Hiram: (angrily) What did he say!?

Swiper: I only ask for your forgiveness if you ever come here tonight.

Warren: He says he ask you to die if you show up tonight.

The two mice frowned while Minnie tried looking at Swiper's head.

Minnie: Swiper?

Swiper: And if you have Mickey and Minnie with them...take care of them, okay?

Ratigan: If you have those two with you...kill them off like the cold heartless rat bastard you have become.

Hiram: (growls) What...did he call me!?

Mickey: Kill us!?

Swiper: Tell the others, I'll be waiting, okay?

The dogs that watched only took his hand as a small tear came from the fox's cheek.

Shirly: I believe they'll come.

Then, the door closed.

Minnie: What's the last words?

Warren: So to in death, I wish you all, especially you, Mickey, and Minnie, all dead!

Minnie gasped in horror. Mickey groaned before he kicked the can.

Mickey: I can't believe that...no good...

Minnie: Mickey, I know you're taking it hard, but that doesn't give you the right to be angry. And another thing, what Swiper said about you, your father, and me was wrong and ungrateful!

At that moment, Pinky came out before he became concerned.

Pinky: Wow, I have never seen that before.

The five then noticed the others.

Mortimer: So, you're like buddies with those guys, right?

Pinky: I'm sorry, Mick. I know there are too many people. I tried-

Mickey: You know what? It's okay.

Minnie: Mickey?

Mickey: I've been selfish!

Timothy Brisby: Mickey, look-

Mickey then turned to the others.

Mortimer: (grins) Well, well, helping a certain rival, huh?

Mickey: Don't push it, Mortimer.

Mickey: Are you and the other mice hungry, dad?

Hiram: Yes, but why-

Mickey: All right, dinner's on me. We'll go after everyone's in bed!

Ratigan: And for us...a battle to enjoy!

Mickey: In fact, Dad...why don't you let the colony know that your Mouse Prince son has returned and to tell them to bring the whole clan?

Pinky grinned as he hugged the two male mice with some of them, including Adelaine and Minnie became concerned.

Pinky: Narf, we're a family again!

Brain: Oh brother, Pinky.

Adelaine: I fear something terrible will go wrong in all of this...
