Chapter 4: Hiram vs Swiper and Nutcrackers

The next morning, church bells rang and people were out on the streets while people were waving to one another.

Woman: Merry Christmas!

Man: Merry Christmas!

With Kate, she looked at the sight before noticing Ratigan and Fidget coming to her.

Ratigan: Christmas will soon be here. In fact, Christmas Eve is but tomorrow after all.

Fidget: Yeah, after all this is over, the kingdom's gonna be ours.

Kate: That's what I'm concerned about...if it turns out Hiram does come back alive-

Ratigan: I had it all planned out. Fear not. Besides, with him gone and you by my side, we shall rule this kingdom. After all, the people are starting to have second thoughts on their current king, especially since they learned during our battle that Warren is, in fact, a cat.

Fidget: And by standards, cats joining mice is a bad sign.

Then, Kate was given a rose by the big rat.

Ratigan: Here, a little early gift to you, my dear.

Kate: (smiles) Thanks...

She gave him a kiss on the cheek. At Clara's home, Serena with Hotaru, Rini, and Clara were in bed with bandages in their heads while the others were visiting them with the dogs bringing the soup while Fritz had a box of chocolates.

Fritz: Hey, Clara, how are you feeling?

Clara: Awful.

Hotaru: It hurts.

Serena: Owie.

Rini: What happened?

Fritz: Papa found you four by the clock.

Shirly: And you were conked out because you tripped, Clara.

Clara: I see.

Reiko: It must be awful to be stuck in bed, and such a lovely day as this.

Melody: Blame dad on that one!

Mina Mongoose: Melody, he's been through rough times, okay? Plus he got his heart broken when he saw what happened.

Courage: It wouldn't have happened if we gave Mickey and Hiram proof last night.

Fritz: Mickey? As in Mickey Mouse? (smiles) Boy, I wish I could have seen him. Anyway, I brought you guys some chocolates. That will make you guys feel better.

He then placed the box down, then opened it up, to reveal some chunks of it removed.

Serena: Hey! You were eating all my chocolates!

Fritz: Sorry, I had to test them first. (hops on the bed) They're yummy.

Mr. Scatterbrain: Can I have the ones with the bite marks?

Psycho: Oh, me too!

Max: Me! Me!

Sam: Ah, go ahead, boys.

Clara: Fritz, last night, near the toy cabinet, there were mice everywhere.

Mina: And there was one leading them.

Lita: Some of those mice wore clothing.

Cosmo: Not only that, but there were a few certain villains helping this guy.

Miss Whoops: I think the dress was lovely.

Mr. Bump: It's not a dress! It's a tunic.

Tails: Anyway, there was one really big one with Mickey.

Clara: The biggest, meanest, ugliest mouse ever.

Rini: Better watch it or Mickey may get mad for you calling his dad that.

Mr. Rude: Why, he's more like a rat!

Mr. Fussy: Mr. Rude!

Mr. Rude: Well, he does physically look like one.

Fritz: A rat? What were you guys doing downstairs?

Hotaru: Some of our friends...well, they accidentally turned into toys.

Miss Stubborn: Thanks to Miss Magic.

Miss Magic: I said I was sorry!

Miss Calamity: I know.

Then, Fritz noticed a saddened Swiper looking out the window.

Fritz: What's wrong with him?

Ami: Well, Swiper had a fight last night and now...I think he's regretting ever doing it.

Courage: Yeah.

Fritz: So what else happened?

Voice: Fritz, are you up here?

Fritz then hopped off the bed.

Fritz: Uh oh, I'm not suppose to be up here. See ya later.

He then ran out of the room as the others that were up last night sighed.

Serena: Oh well, I might as well have some candy today to get me better.

She then took a bite off of one while Rini frowned, taking the candy away.

Rini: With you, I think it's enough candy for one day.

Serena yelped as the candy was placed inside the drawer, making Serena frown.

Serena: Oh, Rini!

Rabbit: Where is Pooh at anyway?

Yumi: Where are Donald, Goofy, Daisy, and Pluto?

Grievous: They went to look for Mickey and Minnie as well as the others this morning.

Boots: We only hope they're found and they're given talking to.

Just then, the group noticed a familiar nutcracker, with its teeth fixed.

Clara: Nutcracker!

Another nutcracker was shown as well.

All: Tuxedo Nutcracker!

Then, Drosselmeyer came in.

Drosselmeyer: There, you see? Good as new.

Professor Genius: I believe this one is yours, Serena.

They were given the toys as Serena sighed in relief.

Serena: Oh, thank goodness.

Courage: Yeah.

Drosselmeyer: So, how are you all feeling?

Miss Naughty: Angry!

The others only glared at the uncle.

Clara: Uncle Drosselmeyer, last night we saw you! You were on top of the clock!

Serena: Why didn't you help them?

Drosselmeyer: Now, girls-

Rini: After all, he is your nephew, right?

Drosselmeyer: I'm not the one who can help them.

Just then, Clara's mom came inside the room.

Mama: And I thought it was Fritz up here. Merry Christmas, everyone.

She then put her hand on Clara's head.

Nina: Is it serious? Are they gonna miss Christmas?

Mama: No, but I think it's best they stay in bed today in order to be better in time. You four had quite a fall.

Just then, she noticed two familiar toys the group looked at before taking them away.

Mama: So these are why you were downstairs last night.

Clara: But there was a battle and-

Mama: Shhh! I'll put the nutcrackers back down where they belong. Come on, everyone.

The others sighed as they left the injured four.

Mama: I don't want you playing when you should be resting. And no fairy stories today.

Rini: But we're not making it up!

Mama: (ignoring) Come, Drosselmeyer, it's time for tea.

Drosselmeyer: (quietly) Don't worry, your friends and I will keep an eye on them, Clara.

Clara was patted on the head, then the door began to close, but not before Drosselmeyer grinned. When it closed, the four along with the saddened Swiper heard Clara's mom's voice.

Mama's Voice: I'm very sorry about all this.

Drosselmeyer's Voice: Now, now, they will be just fine.

The four groaned as they removed the bandages from their head, crossing their arms and sighing.

Serena: I wish they listen...

Hotaru: I know.

As they prepared to rest, Pavlova, left behind with Courage and Shirly, looked at the birds before they flew away. The kitten then headed back to where the four were.

Shirly: Mickey...

Courage: Oh, I hope those villains don't come back tonight or my name's Kiefer Sutherlands...and it's not.

Swiper only sighed sadly at the scene. Then, the man with the eyepatch peeked in.

Drosselmeyer: Swiper...you're invited too.

The fox only sighed and began heading out. He looked back before looking worried and heading out.

Swiper: Please be all right, you two.

With Mickey, the black mouse continued walking sadly. All of a sudden, two familiar toy foes grabbed him.

Stan: Gotcha!

Mickey: Gah! Let go of me!

Heff: If ya wanna live, you'll give us the honey, right Stan?

Stan: He may not have the honey, but I know someone who does...

The worried mouse struggled before he was placed in the cage where a familiar cat chuckled cruelly.

Stan: By the way, make a sudden move and the cat we saw tossed out here will eliminate ya!

Mickey looked more worried before looking down.

Stan: Now to place in the reward...he-he.

The mouse looked saddened, then buried his head sadly.

Mickey: Minnie...

Minnie's Voice: Mickey!

He looked shocked, then turned as he saw some familiar faces with a familiar dog of his: Pluto.

Donald: King Mickey!

Mickey: Donald, Goofy, Daisy, Minnie, Pluto! Dad! Pooh! Everyone! You're all here!

Pluto growled and barked at Lucifer as the cat yelped and screeched. It glared before the dog chased the cat, barking at him.

Pooh: Hello, Mickey.

Mickey: But...how is this possible?

Pooh: I went to your kingdom and found heffalump and woozle tracks...probably a jagular too. Fortunately, I told them and they found you.

Adelaine: Thank goodness you're all right.

Hiram: Mickey...

The fat mouse hugged his son.

Hiram: I don't want to lose you again. Come on...

He then showed a familiar pair of slippers.

Hiram: There's a little matter of slippers I have to take care of.

He only backed away slightly.

Mickey: (sighs) I can't go back...not to you or the others after all that's happened.

Goofy: Well, it can't be that bad with you pretending all the time.

Mickey: Oh please, I'm sick of pretending! I pretend to be a mouse for my father, I pretend to be a human for my friends, and I pretend I'm the chosen one for the keyblade!

As he said that, his keyblade appeared before the frustrated mouse tossed it down to the snow.

Pinky: Naaaarf, poor Mick. He's in denial.

Jenny McBide: No...he's having a frustrating time.

Minnie: But you don't pretend, Mickey.

Donald: She's right. You're our friend, Mickey.

Goofy: And we've been in worse situations that could have droven us apart.

Daisy: And we're not going to let that start now.

The fat mouse picked up the keyblade, then gave it back to him.

Hiram: Mickey, you must ask yourself this: Would you rather do what you think is best for your father or what you know is right for your friends?

He looked concerned before the fat mouse continued with a smile.

Hiram: You don't have to answer right now.

Mickey hugged his father and Minnie before Daisy spoke.

Daisy: When I saw him swipe the broom at you...he had tears coming out of his eyes.

Sullivan: Tears?

Goofy: I bet he really missed you guys and when this happened last night, things got complicated and his heart broke.

Hiram: But why would he...(sighs) all right...we'll talk about this to Swiper.

Mickey: (grins) Thanks, dad.

However, as Pluto came back and the group got on, the fat mouse clutched onto the shoes.

Hiram: After Hans is dead!

Others: WHAT!?

They headed off as Pooh sighed a bit with concern.

Pooh: Oh bother...

With Stan and Heff, the two returned as the woozle frowned.

Stan: Darn, stupid bear had to go around getting lost and-

Just then, the two gasped as they saw Lucifer trapped in a small cage.

Heff: Uh, does this mean we don't get our honey after all?

Stan: Oh shut up!

That night, inside the bedroom, the others with Clara and Pavlova were asleep in the same room. Just then, the pink dog and kitten heard a noise, awakening them.

Courage: Huh?

They looked around while the noise continued.

Courage: Where is it coming from?

Suddenly, it stopped. The pink dog and kitten then went to the dresser as he became concerned.

Courage: (worried) Uh, is there anyone here?

The two looked as he saw a mouse hole, looking like the size of the foe they had encountered the previous night. Suddenly, a familiar mouse, with a familiar shoe on his mouth, growled angrily.

Courage: Ooooohhh!

The kitten yelped, both jumping to them, starting to awaken as Mr. Rude frowned.

Mr. Rude: Huh? Who is it?

Hiram: It's the Mouse King.

The rude man yawned with his sleepy eyes before he flopped onto the bed.

Mr. Rude: That's nice. I need sleep now. Goodnight.

Hiram: (anger mark) Hey! Get up, you idiot!

Mr. Rude: I do not have time to dealing with you tonight, so go bother the others for all I care, you peasant rat!

Hiram: (insulted) Peasant rat?!

Inside the hole, the others with the foes watched.

Fidget: Sweet insult. Gotta remember to use that next time.

THe others looked shocked as they saw him.

Shirly: Oh no!

Serena: Oh my gosh!

Tails: Not you again!

The mouse then showed the objects to the group.

Hiram: (mocking-gentle tone) Your slippers, I believe.

Sure enough, it was the same shoes Clara had on.

Swiper: Clara's slippers!

Clara: Uh, thank you.

Hiram: (angrily) Thank you nothing! Do you have any idea what you did?!

He then lifted his tail to them.

Hiram: Well, look! (sadly) Look at this!

Serena: What else could we have done.

Swiper: Look, I didn't mean to hurt you, nor your tail or destroying part of your cape, but you were going to hurt Hans and Darian.

Hiram: (mockingly) Hurt him? Hurt him?

He only gave himself a cruel chuckle before he glared to the group.

Hiram: I was gonna turn him into a soot of ashes!

Shirly: You are blinded with rage and pointless revenge. Please, I warn you, do not force us to make you suffer the consequences.

Clara: Well, you're cruel and mean!

Hiram: Your flattery won't stop me.

Rini: Good thing Python, Snake, and Cherry aren't here to see this.

Ami: Come on, can't we all just get along like back in the days of old, please?

Yumi: Clara, it's a long story. We'll tell it to you later.

Grounder: Come on, don't blame us for this! Blame the rat!

Hiram: GROUNDER!

Grounder: What? I thought you were a rat? Ratigan kept calling you that.

Hiram: (anger mark) Grounder, if Ratigan told you to jump off a bridge-

Grounder: Yes! (realizes) Wait, what?

Scratch: (sweatdrops) Are you kidding? You know he would.

Delete: Come on, it's not our fault for what happened.

Betty: We saw what happened.

Courage: Your Majesty, you don't understand.

Hiram: Your Nutcrackers will be nothing, but a pile of sawdust...uh, a pack of toothpicks, by the time I'm through with them!

Clara: I understand my Nutcracker, but what about your nutcracker, Serena?

Serena: Darian accidentally mocked Hiram during a battle against trying to change Oswald back to the good side and against the Phantom Blot with his minions. And that was moments before he turned into a toy and before he could apologize!

Hiram: Hey, look, Meatball Head, I don't like you and you don't like me-

Serena: Actually, some of us like you.

Hiram: Not the point! Point is, I'm here for my vengeance, to Hans, to Darian, and especially to Ratigan!

Swiper: Hiram, don't make this worse. I can explain!

Just then, as the Mouse King was about to leave, Miss Naughty had an idea.

Miss Naughty: Hey, wait a second! Don't go, Mouse King. Don't hurt them! Uh, um...

She then opened the drawer with the chocolates.

Miss Naughty: (smirks) Why not take these chocolates?

Mina: Huh?

Lita: What are you up to?

Serena gasped as the fat mouse looked at the chocolates hungrily before glancing to the pink haired girl.

Miss Naughty: Trust me, they're yummy.

Serena: You didn't have one bite! (to Hiram) Please, not my chocolates!

Raye: (to Hiram) Trust me, she's always like this.

The mouse then hopped down in the drawer about to take a piece. Then, he noticed her hand on the drawer.

Hiram: (confused) Huh?

Just then, the drawer was shut with the tail crushed by it.

Hiram: AHHHH!

Miss Naughty: Ha-ha-ha-ha! I got you good!

Loyal Mice: Your Majesty!

Hiram: My tail! My tail!

They quickly left the room as they headed downstairs.

Mouse King: Why, you good for nothing little sneak.

Pooh: Excuse me, but I need my smackeral.

He followed his friends.

Mouser: Get back here, coward!

The others quickly ran down the stairs quickly.

Tigger: What the heck is going on?

Mr. Scatterbrain: Are we in Slumberland again?

Amy: No, that mouse is after the nutcrackers!

Clara: We have to protect them!

Back upstairs, the mouse inside struggled while the others pushed the drawer until it finally opened.

Adelaine: Hiram!

Hiram: (groans) When this is all over, remind me to strangle her!

Back downstairs, the others quickly got to the toy cabinet with Serena opening it.

Betty: We gotta keep on running and keep Hiram from getting our friends.

Serena: Tuxedo Nutcracker!

Clara: Nutcracker! (takes him out) You're in danger! We have to hide you!

Rabbit: Hurry up!

Serena took the other nutcracker out just as Mickey and his group came in. The others heard the noises of Mickey's approaching, but then they headed to the door.

Jake: Okay, it's official: tonight is starting to suck badly!

Rouge: Tell me about it.

The door then shut itself. The others then gasped as they saw the fat mouse, raising his sword, glaring as he shouted with his demand.

Hiram: Gimme the nutcrackers, now!

Clara: No!

Raye: You're nuts!

Psycho: And smelly. Take a bath, Hiram, mouse boy!

Hiram: I'm a rat!

The others just chuckle at that, making Hiram realize.

Hiram: I mean mouse, MOUSE! Gah! See what you made me do?!

Psycho: Hee hee hee!

Serena: (backing away) You can't have them!

Max Rabbit: You can have them when you pry them from our dead own hands!

Rini: Gah, don't give him any ideas!

As they backed away, the mouse kept going one step further toward Clara and her friends.

Hiram: (angrily) Give them to me! I want the nutcrackers!

Mickey: (runs to him) Dad, stop!

Hiram: (notices) Mickey?

Mortimer: Ah, don't listen! Give 'em what's coming to them!

Clara: You can't have either one of them! Never!

Tails: Besides, you're gonna kill them!

Hiram: (mockingly) No? (angrily) NO!!

Riku: Right, you heard us, no!

Hamsterviel then saw Pavlova playing with the sofa as he chuckled.

Hamsterviel: All right, if you will not hand the toys over, we shall dismantle your kitten friend!

Sylvester suddenly appears and kick Hamsterviel across the room, causing the villain to hit the wall.

Sylvester: (angrily) Don't even try it!

Alice: Why did Sylvester just do that?

Speedy: (appearing) the kitten would probably be reminding of el pussy gato of his own son, Junior.

Sylvester: (glares) I'll deal with you later.

Mortimer: Wait, wait, I have a better idea. We'll let them live.

Villains: What?!

Fidget: Are you nuts!?

Mortimer: But only on this condition...we'll make sure they're alive if...

Serena: If what, Mortimer?

Mortimer: If you give me Minnie and make her my queen!

Donald: WHAT!?

All (but Mortimer): That's disgusting!

Minnie: What made you think that?

Mortimer: Either give us the kitten or let Minnie be mine or those two suffer. Take your pick.

Mr. Grumpy: How about neither and we can give you this?!

Mr. Grumpy steps on Mortimer with his foot, crushing him flat before removing it to see a groaning mouse.

Mortimer: Ouch.

Clara then fell to her knees as she looked worried.

Clara: (weeping) Nutcracker...what should I do? I can't give either you or one of us up! (looks at the clock) Uncle Drosselmeyer...help us...

Shirly only frowned as she felt a strange wave. The group then noticed as well.

All: Huh?

The medium then saw a saxophone appearing as they saw the owl transform to Drosselmeyer.

Shirly: (grins) I understand...

Psycho: Yeah! (confused) Wait, what?

Clara: Nutcracker...it's me. Please, you've got to wake up!

Just then, the uncle released his arms as the magic went to the medium.

Shirly: Hiram, for your pointless revenge and your anger, you shall face the consequences!

Nack: I smell something crappy going on.

Batula frowns as he kick Nack.

Nack: Ouch!

She then blew on the saxophone. Each time, speaking in rhyme.

Shirly: Listen well, girls and boys, it is time to awaken our friends, the toys.

Frankie: That's annoying.

Mac: Tell me about it.

Shirly: For when, Mouse King, the clock strikes 12, I can tell you that it won't end well.

With the last blow, the waves of magic surrounded the toy cabinet as everyone looked surprised. Just then, the nutcrackers came to life as all the toys in the cabinet awoke.

Jake: Whoa! Did she just do that?

Misty: Huh? Great. We're alive again.

Danny: I just hope that we don't do this all the time and get back to normal.

Wacky: If the curse is broken, then finally, my dreams and hopes has come true.

Xion: Yeah. (pause) Who are you again?

Wacky: (yelping) GAH!

Xion: (giggling) Joking!

Nutcracker: A sword...I need a sword.

Swiper then felt himself as did most of the others. All of a sudden, they shrunk, leaving only Clara normal size.

Swiper: Oh crud! What's going on?

Shirly: First of all, you're the one who needs to listen to the truth. Mickey and his friends were deceived into the whole thing.

Swiper: What do you mean?

Swiper: This happened last night...

(Flashback)

Shirly: Mickey, I thought you were going to talk your dad out of his revenge!

Courage: Yeah, what gives?

Mickey: We were until Swiper badmouth me, Hiram and my father!

Courage: (shocked) What?!

Minnie: Right! He said which include stuff about Mickey, me and Hiram 'if you're out here, don't come back', 'apparently, he says it's your fault and he should have let you die in the pillars', 'he says he ask you to die if you show up tonight', 'if you have those two with you...kill them off like the cold heartless rat bastard you have become', 'so to in death, I wish you all, especially you, Mickey, and Minnie, all dead'.

Shirly: (glares) So you think he said that?

Mickey: I think? I know that! That rotten fox, I thought I could trust him but...

Shirly slaps Mickey across the face, much to the shock of Courage and the other good mice and good rats.

Courage and Minnie: Shirly!

Shirly: Snap out of it! Swiper never said that stuff!

Mickey: (confused) Huh, what?

Courage: She's right, Shirly and I were there. He said...

Shirly: Hold on. It's best for you to hear it from him than from us.

Shirly took out a stone and wave a spell over it. Suddenly a familiar voice came from it.

Swiper's Voice: Swiper: Hiram...if you're out here...please come back. (looks down) It's all my fault. I never should have gone to the past in accident. I only ask for your forgiveness if you ever come here tonight. And if you have Mickey and Minnie with them...take care of them, okay? Tell the others, I'll be waiting, okay?

The good mice look stunned as the voice over ends.

Minnie: What is that?

Shirly: It's a memory stone, it records a certain person talking. I have it record Swiper's voice whenever I wish to remember stuff.

Mickey: That isn't what Ratigan and Warren told us he said!

Courage: (shocked) What?! Ratigan and Warren told you that he badmouth you, Hiram and Minnie?! What made you believe a word those two were saying?!

Minnie: Mickey, Courage and Shirly has never lie, not even if they were forced to.

Mickey: That means...(realizes) No! We were deceived! We gotta tell dad!

Shirly: (narrating) Mickey, Timmy and Jenny rush over to Hiram to tell him but an accident occurred...

TWe now see the ones in the shelf then pushed the horn down, making the two trapped underneath it. The king then landed on the wooden horse as the mice rush over.

Mickey: Here we go! Dad...

Then, Mickey, Timothy, and Jenny tripped, causing it to seem like they shoved the wooden horse toy on wheels. The girls in the flashback gasped as the mouse with the candle was heading to them.

Clara: Oh no!

Quickly, she and Serena removed the slippers, then tossed it toward where the shoes were heading.

Swiper: They're heading the wrong way!

The two got out before gasping in horror, noticing Hiram heading to them.

Swiper: (frowns) So be it...

(Flashback ends)

Swiper looks stunned as he look down.

Swiper: And I was deceived thinking Mickey has turned on me. Oh man, I am just an idiot.

Boots: Don't say that, Swiper. It isn't your fault.

Bloo: Hey, you guys wanna help before those mice overrun us?! We need help!!!

Swiper: Which is why I made this.

He then took out a blade as the fox smirked.

Swiper: This sword is made from the same substance from a very familiar substance.

Mr. Happy: You mean Dip?!

Miss Sunshine: Yikes!

Psycho: And what are you gonna do with it?

Swiper: I know regular swords won't work on a Toon like him, but with this type of sword, he'll be done in for.

Mickey: (coming to them) Swiper, there has to be another way.

Swiper: Listen, I'm sorry about what I said to you earlier. I did not know that you were I were manipulated by those liars Ratigan and Warren. But right now, we got friends and Hans were turned into toys by your grandmother, a villain and a big mistake.

Miss Magic look down sadly as he said that.

Donald: Why him? Why did the spell breaking had to end with him?

Minnie: Please, isn't there another way?

Swiper sighed sadly as he shook his head.

Swiper: Afraid not...besides, that toy sword that was with Pantaloon, it's like my blade as well. If I don't come out of this alive, guys...take care of Mina, okay?

Mina Mongoose: Swiper.

Clara: Sword?

He then headed to where the mouse was while Clara took Pantaloon's sword.

Pantaloon: Bu-bu-bu!

She then gave it to the nutcracker.

Pantaloon: My sword!

Remy: Come on, we got to end this.

As the Sailors changed to their Sailor Soldier forms, the group noticed the fat mouse coming to them.

Hiram: (sarcastically) Well, well, well...the prince of dolls has woken up and even has a sword. Ooh, scary.

They then heard laughing as they looked at the mice watching the battle.

Miss Scary: That ain't scary! This is scary!

Miss Scary pull out a mask and wear it before roaring. Hiram yelp as he trip and almost fell.

Adelaine: (alarmed) What happened?!

Miss Scary: I scared Hiram with my newest scary mask.

Adelaine: Of what?

Miss Scary shows the mask to be of Selene.

Hiram: (frowns) My mother.

Clara: Be careful, Nutcracker.

He jumped down as Tuxedo Mask and Swiper joined him.

Nutcracker: (bows) Don't worry, Clara.

Swiper: Yeah, that guy ain't so tough!

Just then, the others noticed the fat mouse walking toward the dolls and fox as they gasped.

Katara: Guys!

Swiper's shoulder was hit by the mouse's blade.

Swiper: Ugh!

Pantaloon: (glares) Oh, you...you crooked tailed coward!

Hiram: (shocked) Crooked tailed?!

Tuxedo Mask: You despicable rodent!

Sailor Star Rocker: You sword swinging Clooney!

The others look at Sailor Star Rocker in confusion.

Sailor Star Rocker: Look it up!

The four then clashed the blades and cane while most of the mice watched.

Timmy: Aren't we going to jump in?

Scrooge: Best not to, lad. This is their battle. We must only wait and hope for the best.

Huey: Or worst in this case.

Dewey and Louie: Yeah!

The three, meanwhile, glared at the mouse as they clashed their blades to one another. Then, the nutcracker was shoved to the stool. Only most of the mice cheered and laughed at the misfortune.

Swiper: (helps him) You okay?

Nutcracker: I think so.

The three dodged the fat mouse's blade, then made a run for it while the mouse laughed wickedly.

Carl: See? That's an evil laugh.

Namine: This isn't good.

Rini: I wish the others would help fight those things.

Gaz: (fighting Vlad) And we'd help those three if those idiot villains didn't interfere!

Vlad: It was Ratigan's idea, not mine!

Courage: I wish there could've been another way to settle this.

Cree: Sorry, besides it would ruin the script!

The trio kept dodging the mouse's blade at the table. Their blades clashed as the laughing mouse's eyes glowed. The two kept struggling until the four fell down.

Four: Whoa!

The three tumbled one way while Hiram tumbled to another direction, near the lit up fireplace. He then landed on some coal while his partially burned cape covered his face. He then sniffed a bit, noticing smoke until he realized what was happening.

Hiram: (jumps away) GRAH!!!

They then got up, glancing at the fat mouse while the nutcracker put his hat back on.

Hiram: Hot! Hot!

Psycho: Rat on a fryer!

Hiram: Shut up!

When the fat mouse quickly put the flame on his rear about to spread off, he growled in anger toward the nutcrackers and fox.

Hiram: GRAH!!!

He then clanged the swords, then as if an instant, flinged the two blades toward the bottom of the Christmas tree. All while the other heroes were dodging the villains attacks.

Delete: Oh man! Where are the rest of the others when we need them?!

Ash: Probably finish their business by now.

The three gasped as they saw the fat mouse's blade near them.

Hiram: (sarcastically) Lose something, your highness? Coochie, coochie, coo!

The mice laughed at the situation.

Hiram: Ticklish, your highness?

He kept laughing wickedly while the three quickly snuck away from him. Just as they were behind the fat mouse, he stopped laughing, glancing at where they went. They kept hiding behind him until they saw their chance and ran toward the tree. The other mice stopped laughing, looking worried. The fat mouse only chuckled as he finally noticed the masked man heading to the tree. Hiram then charged and yelled his battle cry, heading to where Swiper, Tuxedo Mask, and the Nutcracker were. They were near a box that was twice as high while looking at the swords stuck in the wood.

Swiper: Oh man! This isn't our night!

Tuxedo Mask then looked around, then saw a bag of marbles. Quickly, the masked man with the two climbed up the box closer to them, then the three removed the string from the marbles. The mouse gasped and screamed, with many marbles coming out. The fat mouse was yelping as he was forced on a marble, tumbling until he hit the chair and hit the floor.

Swiper: Sorry, Mick, but we had to do something.

Mickey: (sighs) I understand.

Mickey then dodged Mortimer's fist, but the smaller mouse quickly hit him at the back with his keyblade, knocking him out.

Mickey: There, that takes care of Mortimer.

Goten: (punching away Fidget) So is the rat!

Marie, the imaginary friends and the KND laughed at the situation while the fat mouse, glaring at the trio, crawled underneath the chair while the others rushed to the blades in the tree. They pulled hard, trying to get the blades out. They gasped as they looked at the chuckling mouse coming closer.

Swiper: Yipe!

The fat mouse was noticed as he rushed toward them. Just then, something pulled the mouse just as his sword was almost near the nutcracker. It was Pantaloon pulling his tail. He was then pulled down as he landed on the soldier toy. The fat mouse then glared at him as he got up.

Hiram: (angrily) You meddling old fool!

It was at that point that the swords were free before the nutcracker shouted.

Nutcracker: Your fight is with me, you miserable mouse, not a defenseless soldier!

Swiper: As well as me, Hiram!

The fat mouse kicked Pantaloon, making him slide. He then hit the hard wood on the chair stool before he groaned and lost consciousness.

Trudy: Pantaloon!

Piglet: (gasp) Oh d-d-d-dear!

Numbah 4: (to Numbah 3) And that is the same Mouse King Julayla's falling for and more often than use?

Numbah 3: Don't remind me.

The three glared at the fat mouse after looking at the tree. Quickly, they led the fat mouse upward just as the fat mouse got up the box he was on. He looked around until an ornament hit his head. He turned, slashing his blade. He looked confused. He then realized where they were as he shouted.

Hiram: Come back here!

He then looked up the tree and prepared to climb where Tuxedo Mask, Swiper, and the Nutcracker were.

Hiram: There's no one to save you now, Nutcracker!

They yelped as they jumped to another branch, just as the mouse almost slashed them.

Hiram: There's no escaping me!

The others, meanwhile, kept on fighting while the toys went to Pantaloon. They then saw the soldier leaning down as they saw a tear on his back and his key bent.

Trudy: Oh no!

Numbah 2: (looks at the battle) Man, this isn't looking good...and I wanted to give them some cool shouts like "Say your prayers" or "Go ahead, make my day".

Numbah 5: (groans) Even in toy form, those jokes are still lame!

All while with Ratigan, as no one else noticed, the big rat chuckled and grinned as he climbed the tree.

Ratigan: Oh, this is all too easy...

Back up the tree, the foes continued clashing blades with one another. At one point, the mouse tried slashing them, but they dodge, making him slash a candle instead. He slashed down as the three got out of the way.

Swiper: Come on, this way!

They grabbed the Christmas Lights, hopping from one ornament to the other to the base of the tree. Hiram, meanwhile, searched for his foes until he realized that the trio were climbing to the top.

Hiram: (angrily) This ends tonight...

As soon as they got to the top of the tree near the Christmas angel, they looked back down, looking confused.

Swiper: Where did he go?

Suddenly, without warning, the fat mouse was behind the angel as he shouted.

Hiram: DIE!!

The three yelped as they closed their eyes with Hiram about to head to them. As he charged, the dogs looked up, noticing Ratigan behind the three.

Shirly: Boys!

Courage: NOOOOO!!

At that moment, as slow motion was seen, Ratigan shoved Swiper, Tuxedo Mask, and the Nutcracker, jolting their blades to Hiram, making it seem like they stabbed him. Just then, everyone else heard a stabbing sound and the ones fighting stopped. Everyone then looked up while the three opened their eyes, looking shocked at what had happened: Hiram the Mouse King was stabbed by the swords.

Swiper: Your Majesty...I...I...

Nutcracker: I've never killed anyone before.

Tuxedo Mask: But we can say this...it looks like the Mouse King is dead.

Hiram: (groaning) So...that's what that medium...meant by consequences...

He then screamed as he fell down from the tree.

Hiram: AHHHH!!!

The heroes then saw the crown that was from the mouse on the ground before the body fell down to the ground. The mice that watched all panicked as they ran away, minus Mickey, Minnie, Timothy, and Jenny.

Mickey: Gosh...dad!

Carl: (sweatdrops) I think it's time to leave now.

Foes: Second.

The foes began to leave, though Warren remained behind briefly, noticing Ratigan now down from the tree before he spoke.

Ratigan: He's all yours.

With that, he was gone while Warren grinned. The toys cheered while the trio came down, then looked at the seemingly dead opponent.

Nutcracker: (sighs) We're truly sorry, but what else could have been done?

Swiper put his blade up while the two nutcrackers tossed theirs.

Mina Mongoose: Swiper...did you...did you?

Swiper: Sorry...we were only defending ourselves. He just jumped and got stabbed by those blades. Hiram...what have we done?

Pooh: You did what you thought was best.

Clara: Nutcracker!

Sailor Moon: Tuxedo Nutcracker!

Many of the small members hugged the three.

Riku: We were so worried.

Courage: And frightened.

Tuxedo Mask: Sailor Moon...

Nutcracker: Clara...

They then looked at Pantaloon, wrapped in bandages, as he spoke confusingly.

Pantaloon: Woe for me. (confused) Did I say that?

Remy: Strange, he kinda reminds me of Ego if he were a soldier.

Nutcracker: (goes to Pantaloon) And you, my brave friend-

Pantaloon: Woe for, not a wit forth...

Trudy: (worried) Oh, the fall seems to have scrambled his memory. We must get him back to the Land of the Dolls.

Pantaloon: Woe forth...

The others only looked surprised.

Amy: There really is a Land of the Dolls?

Marie: Well, of course there is, silly.

Nutcracker: But how do we get there?

Marie: Why, through the castle, of course.

Everyone then looked at the toy castle.

Numbah 3: Really? I thought it was just a decoration.

Pantaloon: For the world to start...

Minnie: Well, since the rest of us are stuck like this for a while...

Nutcracker: Clara, come with us.

Clara: (sighs) If only I could. But I could never fit-

She then realized something as they looked at the ghostly man.

All: Uncle Drosselmeyer.

Drosselmeyer: Time that was, time shall be, but waste it not, ere it waste thee.

Courage: Where is that from?

Shirly: I think it's from a movie I watched once.

Then, he released his arms one last time as the magic spreaded to Clara while Mickey looked at his father as did Swiper.

Mickey: Don't worry, dad. I promise once the spell is gone, I'll get Shari to revive you. I promise.

Swiper: I didn't mean to...really I didn't...

Clara then started to shrink an inch.

Clara: Huh? What's happening?

She went down another inch.

Clara: I'm shrinking!

Clara smiled to the others.

Clara: This is so strange.

She shrunk another inch as Numbah 1 spoke.

Numbah 1: Quick, put us all up by the castle while you still can!

She nodded and put the toys (minus Marie) near the castle.

Numbah 2: Hurry!

She shrunk another few inches while putting the heroes next to the toys above. Clara then came near Marie.

Marie: But I'm not dressed for traveling.

Clara shrunk another inch.

Clara: But you must.

Marie: All right, I'll-

She then yelped as Clara picked her up, then placed her near Trudy. As Clara shrunk a few more inches, Clara jumped up while Pavlova watched. The group then held onto Clara.

Nutcracker: All right, everyone! One, two, three!

They then noticed Clara was now the same size as they were.

Nutcracker: Pull!

They yelped as they fell near the toy bridge. They got up as Courage looked surprised.

Courage: Oh my gosh!

Shirly: Look at us!

Nutcracker: Is everyone all right?

Clara: Yes, but look at me. I'm so small!

Trudy: (chuckles) One gets use to it, my dear.

The others then looked at Pantaloon.

Pantaloon: Heaven take my bones. England keep my soul?

Max: Laaaaame!

Trudy: Poor Pantaloon. It's best that we'd be going.

They then heard the kitten meow while Clara looked back.

Clara: Goodbye, Pavlova. I'll be back soon. Don't be sad.

Trudy: Marie, I'll need your help.

Marie: (sighs) Oh, why me? I wasn't meant for such meaningful labor.

She was then lifted as the younger female toy near the clock in the castle.

Marie: I was simply meant to be adorable. That's all.

Numbah 5: Just shut up and fix the clock already!

She frowned as she changed the clock to 12. Then, the castle lit up as the music box inside was heard.

Clara: It's like...

Nutcracker: Magic...

Swiper's future children along with the mongoose noticed him looking down before they patted him.

Mina Mongoose: Don't worry, Swiper, we'll get him back to life somehow, I promise.

Swiper: Yeah...

They began to leave as the door opened up while the dogs looked concerned.

Shirly: Just what was Ratigan planning?

The group then entered while the kitten headed to the fallen mouse. The kitten touched the burned-crooked tail before examining it more. As Pavlova near the mouse's face, his eyes opened while the fat mouse growled in anger while the eyes glowed.

Hiram: Grrrr!!!

The kitten yelped and quickly left the room. The fat mouse then struggled, placing his crown back on and headed to the castle, holding his wounded chest before pulling out a familiar ball.

Hiram: I...was told that it would have side effects if I nearly died...(growls) I rather risk it!

Then, he placed it on himself, glowing darkly with his eyes glowing intensively while Warren, not far behind, pulled out the Blunderbuss.

Warren: Looks like my job's easier after all...

Yikes, Hiram is back and things will get a lot nastier. I sure hope this will get better soon.
