Quest of the Unicorn.

Part 1.

Written by Sara.

Sara Cicero back. My fellow Pokemon Trainers & I are sitting around watching the Mighty Ducks practice hockey from the Jumbo Tron.

Josh: Hey guys, later wanna go bowlin’?

Sara: Yeah, I’m in. Guys?

Buzz: Yeah, we can see if Gosalyn, Louie & Stuie wanna come too.

Eilony: Sounds good to me.

(Puck swoops by) So, after we sent Gosalyn, Louie & Stuie E-mail, they come over.

Gosalyn: Hey guys, what up?

Josh: Not much, now let’s…

Drake-1’s alarm starts sounding off, Duke, Nosedive (N.D.) & Zelda come in as Buzz types on the keys.

Sara: What is it, Buzz-dude?

Buzz: I’m findin’ out.

He finishes, Borg appears on it.

Borg: My friends, I’ve been trying to reach you.

Louie: Borg?

Borg: Aye, you must come to this world.

Sara: Okey-dokey.

We all get sucked into another world, we land in a patch of flowers.

Sara: Everyone all right?

Charmander: Charmander, Char.

Squirtle: Squirtle, Squirtle-Squirtle.

We look around and see a beautiful forest.

Eilony: Ohh, pretty.

Gosalyn: O.K., we don’t wonder off nowhere unless we see Borg.

Zelda: It’s “anywhere”, Gos, Sara gives orders.

Gosalyn: Oh yeah. Sorry.

(Puck shoots by) Meanwhile, the other Ducks are in the Ready Room and see something on Drake-1’s screen.

Tanya: Huh? “My fellow Trainers, our Pokemon, Duke, N.D. & Zelda have gone to another land to help Borg. Sign Sara. P.S. you can watch us using Drake-1.”

Wildwing: Hmm.

That’s what they do, they see us on Drake-1 like watching TV.

Wildwing: Hope they’ll be all right.

Mallory: Don’t worry, they have Duke, Zelda & Nosedive by their side.

Grin: Yes. They believe in each other.

(Poke ball swoops by) We’re still going on, until something gets Eilony’s attention.

Eilony: (Gasps)

Sara: Huh? El, wait up!

I run after her, she goes over to a patch of different color tulips.

Sara: Ohh, pretty flowers.

Eilony: (Sniffs flower)

The others come, I spot something unexpected.

Sara: Hmm? (taps Duke’s shoulder)

Duke: What?

Sara whisper: Shh. Look.

He & the others see what I see by a tree.

Duke whispers: Ohh, a unicorn.

Buzz whispers: Just like in that movie “The Last Unicorn”.

Josh whispers: She’s beautiful.

Nosedive whispers: And why are we whispering?

Zelda whispers: So we don’t scare her away.

Unicorn: (Whinnies)

All aloud: Huh?

We see a flying monkey (or hsigo) like those in "The Wizard of Oz" starts attacking the unicorn.

Hsigo: (Laughs)

Sara: C’mon, we gotta help her!

Charmander: Char!

Me, Eilony & Charmander protect her, but the Hsigo knocks me over and gets on my chest.

Eilony: Sara!

Sara: (Grunts, gasps)

Hsigo: Asteroth doesn’t like meddlers.

Sara: Who me?

Charmander: Char!

He fries the hsigo’s butt, he hops into the air with his hands covering his butt.

Hsigo: Yow!

And the unicorn pokes him with her horn.

Hsigo: YIPE!!! Ouchie! Ouchie! Ouchie! That hurt!

Eilony: And don’t come back!

He flies off, the unicorn nuzzles my face as the others come.

Unicorn: Are you all right?

Sara: Yeah.

Josh: You can talk.

Unicorn: Of course. I am Amalthea, the lead unicorn mare.

Zelda: Well, I’m Zelda, these are Sara, her sister Eilony, Josh, Buzz, Gosalyn, Louie, Stuie, Nosedive & Duke.

Buzz: And they’re Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Growler, Seel, Sandshrew & Totodile.

Amalthea: Asteroth has taken a lot of unicorns not long ago. But not all of them. Come, I have something to show you.

She takes us to a meadow. She moves the leaves of a weeping willow and reveals 4 unicorn foals sleeping.

Louie: You’re a dam.

Josh: A dam?

Stuie: What a mother horse is called.

Gosalyn: They have names?

Amalthea: Yes, there are my fillies Purity, Lavender, Granity & my colt Basle.

She gives Eilony, Buzz & me a sky-blue violet.

Eilony: Oh, thanks.

Sara: (Sniffs flower)

The unicorn lies by her foals.

Lavender: (Nickers)

Buzz: Where’s the sire unicorn?

Amalthea: (Hangs head sadly)

Josh: Oh. My Dad’s gone too.

Buzz: So is mine.

Amalthea: He’s been captured by Asteroth, it could possibly be he’s… (whinnies sadly)

Duke strokes her mane.

Duke: Don’t worry, sweetheart, we’ll save the others.

Zelda: By the way, Amalthea, have you seen a little guy by the name of Borg?

Amalthea: Why yes I have, he shouldn’t be fare from here.

Soon, we start traveling again, Eilony’s walking on a real long log.

Buzz: Careful not to fall & hurt yourself, El.

Eilony: I’ve done this lots of times before, don’t worry.

But suddenly, she slips & falls!

Eilony: Whoa! Aah!

And bumps into someone.

Both: Oof!

Eilony: (Grunts) Huh?

She notices the one she bumped into is Borg.

Eilony: Borg.

Borg: Eilony.

Eilony: Long time, no see.

We see Borg helping her up, but she starts limping.

Sara: El, you O.K.?

Eilony: Not especially.

Stuie: Your ankle’s just sore, happens to me a lot.

Amalthea: Here, get on my back.

Eilony: O.K.

Duke lifts Eilony up on Amalthea’s back, Squirtle hitches on also. Zelda stops in front of Borg.

Zelda: Borg, I don’t think we’ve met, I’m Zelda, leader of the last clan of dragons.

Borg: And I am Borg, prince of Anaheim.

They shake hand & claws.

Sara: Now, let’s get going.

That’s what we do.

Borg: Asteroth has stolen the guardian of the forest’s pendant and kidnapped unicorns one by one for his henchmen to ride so he’ll have an army to reek havoc.

Charmander: Charmander, Char, Char-Charmander.

Zelda: He said “Well, not if I can help it”.

Bulbasaur: Bulbasaur, Bulba, Bulbasaur.

Zelda: “Yeah, we’ll stop that old windbag”.

Totodile: Totodile, Toto-toto-dile, toto.

Zelda: "We’ve gotten rid of Asteroth twice, and we can beat him again."

Meanwhile, Asteroth is in his new castle on his thrown with the homunculus Balthar by him.

Someone: (Panting)

Asteroth: That must be my hsigo, Onrog.

The hsigo that attacked Amalthea returns through the window.

Asteroth: What happened, Onrog? Where are Borg & Amalthea?

Onrog: Well… I found Amalthea and tried to get her, but some girl & her pet dragon came.

Asteroth: What?! You were defeated by a girl & her measly pet dragon?!!

Onrog: Well, ya see, the dragon roasted my behind and the girl’s little sister hit me on the head with her shoe.

Asteroth wrings Onrog’s neck and picks him up.

Onrog: (Choking) She really did.

Asteroth: Well, she didn’t hit you hard enough!

He drops him and goes to his caldron, there he sees us.

Asteroth: Grr. Borg has found the children & mortals who stopped me before, and there’s Amalthea.

Onrog: And there’s the girl’s sister who hit me with her shoe.

Asteroth: They will soon meet my other hsigo servant, Xorp.

Back in the forest, we stop by a river, Zelda & Amalthea have a drink as Duke leans against a tree with his arms crossed.

Gosalyn: El, how’s your ankle?

Eilony: Much better.

But suddenly, something swoops down and startles N.D.

Nosedive: Aah!

He accidentally slaps Amalthea on the flank and she rears up.

Amalthea: (Whinnies)

Eilony: Whoa!

She & Squirtle fall off, but Eilony gets caught by Asteroth’s other hsigo by the name of Xorp.

Xorp: Yoink!

Josh: Hey! Bulbasaur, Razor Leaf!

Stuie: Totidile, Water Gun!

Bulbasaur: Bulbasaur!

Totodile: Totodile!

Bulbasaur uses Razor Leaf and Totodile uses Water Gun, but misses.

Xorp: Ha-ha! Missed me! (lowers eye & blows raspberry)

Eilony: Put me down, you bird-brained ape!

He flies off with Eilony in his arms.

Sara: Hey! Give me back my sister!

Squirtle: Squirtle, Squirtle!

Too late, he’s already gone. I turn to N.D. angrily.

Nosedive: Uh-oh.

I grab him by the front of his shirt and shake him, I yell at the top of my lungs…

Sara: N.D., if you didn’t hit Amalthea, Eilony never would’ve gotten kidnapped!

Nosedive: Whoa! Relax Sara, I didn’t mean to hit Amalthea, it was an accident.

Sara: Accident or not, if anything happens to my sister, I’ll personally tar & de-feather ya!!

Stuie: Chill Sara, we’ll find Eilony.

Josh: Yeah, yellin’ at ND’s not gonna do anything useful.

Squirtle: Squirtle, Squirtle.

Borg: Then come, the guardian of the forest knows the way to Asteroth’s castle.

(Puck shoots by) Xorp returns with Eilony, he drops her in front of Asteroth.

Eilony: (Grunts) Huh?

Asteroth: Well, well, we meet again.

Eilony: I remember you, you’re that mean, old wizard, Asteroth.

Asteroth: Correct, child. Hmm?

He notices the sky-blue violet in her hair.

Asteroth: (Chuckles evilly) By the way, where did you get that lovely, blue flower?

Eilony: It was a present.

Asteroth: Oh, how nice. Who gave it to you?

Eilony: It’s a secret.

Asteroth: Oh, it’s not a secret.

Balthar gives him a violet just like Eilony’s.

Asteroth: For you see, I’ve already got the father. (chuckles evilly)

Eilony: (Gasps)

She’s going for the door, but Onrog closes it.

Asteroth: Put her in the tower until dinner is ready.

Eilony: (Grunting)

Onrog & Xorp take her in the tower, throw her in and lock the door.

Eilony: Hey! Let me outta here! You can’t keep me in here! Let me out or you’ll be hearing from my lawyer!

Onrog: All her yelling is giving me a headache.

Xorp: Yeah, let’s help Juga with dinner.

They go off.

Eilony: Come back here! You’ll never get Amalthea or her babies! Never!

A faun (like in the Dragon Flakes commercial) pops out of a haystack and goes to the door.

Faun: Yeah, you won’t get her! You’ll have to go through impossible obstacles!

Eilony: Hey, where’d you come from?

Faun: Um, the forest.

Eilony: (Giggles) My name’s Eilony.

Faun: I’m Yenju.

They shake hands.

Yenju: So, how’d you get in here, Eilony?

Eilony: I’m on a quest to help Amalthea find other unicorns. What about you?

Yenju: I was working for Asteroth, until I saw what he’s doing to the unicorns. Tried to free ‘em, but the demons caught me.

Eilony: What’s he doing to the others?

Yenju: He has ‘em in the stable, tied Lir, the unicorn leader to a post out back. The blacksmith uses a branding iron to turn ‘em evil.

Eilony: That’s awful.

Yenju: Asteroth is even turning innocent creatures like myself into evil things like the hsigoes who threw ya in here.

Eilony: (Gasps)

She goes over to the window.

Yenju: Was it something I said?

Eilony: (Sighs, thinking): Please be careful, Sara, N.D. & Squirtle.

Meanwhile, the others & I are traveling to the guardian of the forest.

Josh: I hope we’re going the right way.

Borg: Of course. All we do is go through the riddle dragon’s tunnel.

We go into the tunnel, and see a big Lung dragon curled on a huge boulder.

Dragon: Hold it, you mustn’t pass without answering 3 of my riddles.

Nosedive: Hey, how’s he talkin’ without moving his lips?

Buzz: That’s telepathy.

Stuie: Yeah, he’s using special brainwaves to send messages from his mind to ours.

Sara: Gotta admit, that’s real cool.

Dragon: Now, riddle 1: Only one color, but not one size. Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies. Present in sun, but not in rain. Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.

Sara: I’ve heard this before, but can’t remember the answer.

Zelda: Us dragons are masters in riddles. It’s a shadow.

Dragon: Correct. Riddle 2: Old Mother Twitchet had one eye, and a long tail she let fly. And every time she went through a gap, she left a bit of her tail in the trap.

Zelda: A needle & thread.

Dragon: Correct again. Last riddle: What goes on 4 legs in the morning, 2 in the afternoon and 3 in the evening.

Sara: I know this one: humans. They crawl as babies, walk as adults, and use a cane as the third leg when very old.

Dragon: Correct. You’ve solved all 3 riddles.

Gosalyn: Well, we’ll be seein’ ya, uh…

Dragon: My name is Cai-Wing, and through there, you’ll find the guardian of the forest.

Amalthea: Thank you, Cai-Wing. And farewell.

We go to the forest guardian, a dragon who looks like Asteroth's dragon form only green insteady of red, but he just lies there weak & unhealthy.

Amalthea: Cano, whatever’s the matter?

Cano: Asteroth stole my amulet, it’s the source of my power & health. (labored breathing)

Zelda: Oh no, isn’t there anything we can do to save you?

Cano: Yes. You must get my amulet back from Asteroth. I still have enough magic to get help.

He uses his power to bring the other Ducks.

Mallory: Where are we?

Zelda: No time to explain, we must get to Asteroth’s castle.

Borg: Great guardian, where is Asteroth?

Cano: That way. (points west)

Borg: Thank you, great guardian. Let’s go!

Cano: Good luck! (coughs)

(Puck shoots by) We get to Asteroth’s castle.

Tanya: So this is where he lives nowadays.

The goblins & demons come.

All: (Gasping)

Demon: Ya got away last time, Amalthea, but now you & your friends ain’t goin’ nowhere.

Zelda: That’s “anywhere”, potato nose.

Duke: Uh sweetheart, I don’t think this is a very good time to be correcting his grammar.

Josh: Or insulting him.

Giant thorns come out of the ground and trap the Ducks, Poke-buddies, Zelda & Borg.

Wildwing: Huh? Hey!

Charmander: Char!

Trainers: (Grunting)

Amalthea: (Whinnying)

The goblins take my friends & me into the castle while the demons take Amalthea to the stables.

Duke: Hey! Get your ropes off her!

Demon: Uh, let me think… (lowers eye & blows raspberry)

Grin: Asteroth may’ve taught them how to handle horses, but the only thing he forgot to teach them was manners.

Wildwing fires his puck-launcher at the roots, but it knocks the puck back.

Wildwing: That’ll never work, anyone got any other ideas?

Zelda: I know!

(Puck flies by) Eilony’s still in the tower with Yenju, she’s by the window worrying about me, N.D. & Squirtle.

Yenju: Hey Eilony. Wanna hear somethin’ cool?

Eilony: Yeah?

Yenju: Amalthea was turned into a human by a bumbling wizard, but she & a prince named Lir fell in love, but soon after the wizard turned Amalthea back into a unicorn, Lir started to miss her and he begged the wizard to change him too, so Lir & Amalthea became the leaders of the Lilac forest unicorn herd. Oh, look at this.

He shows her a loose cinder block in the wall.

Yenju: See this loose block? If I can get it out, we’ll be able to free the others & turn the trolls, goblins & demons into fairies, spawns, etc.

Eilony: Good idea, Yenju.

(Footsteps approaching)

Yenju: (Gasps) The guards are comin’ back!

He hides in the haystack again.

Yenju: Don’t worry about me, Eilony, I’ll keep working on the loose block.

Onrog & Xorp come and let Eilony out.

Xorp: Asteroth is expecting you for dinner.

Eilony: What’s for dinner?

Onrog: Well, Asteroth is giving everyone their favorite pizzas and has his chef put dust in it to make whoever eats it his…

Xorp stomps on his foot.

Onrog: Ouch!

Xorp: Don’t spill the beans, numbskull.

Onrog: (Whimpers)

(Puck flies by) The goblins bring me & my friends in the dining room with the really long table, where Asteroth is sitting at the head.

Asteroth: Welcome, children.

Josh: Asteroth!

Buzz: Let us go, magic windbag!

Asteroth: Oh, but I was hoping you would all stay for dinner.

Gosalyn: For dinner or as dinner?

Asteroth: Well… (claps)

The ogres come with dinner plates and place them on each place at the table.

Asteroth: Onrog, Xorp, bring in her sister.

Onrog & Xorp come with Eilony, she runs over and embraces me tightly.

Sara: Oof! Careful Eilony.

Louie: Well, look who missed ya.

We each have a seat as the ogres remove the silver covers to reveal our favorite pizza.

All: (Gasping in “awe”)

Asteroth: Enjoy yourselves.

Trainers: Thank you, we will.

Most of us start eating, but before Josh could sit, he has to heed nature’s call.

Josh: Gee! Uh Asteroth, which way’s your bathroom?

Asteroth: Balthar, show our guest the restrooms.

Balthar: Yes, Asteroth.

Balthar shows Josh the way to the bathrooms.

Josh: Thanks, little guy.

After Josh goes in, a demon comes to Balthar.

Demon: Balthar, we caught Amalthea, you must tell Lord Asteroth.

Balthar: I’ll go do that.

They go in separate directions.

(Toilet flushing)

Josh comes out of the little boy’s room whipping his hands with a paper towel.

Josh: (Relieved sigh) Much better. Huh?

He notices the stairs and goes down them after throwing the paper towel in a nearby wastebasket & putting his wrist guards on.

Josh: (Sniffs) I smell horses.

He goes down to the door. He peeks in through the door window and sees Amalthea with lassos around her neck.

Amalthea: (Whinnies)

Demon#1: Hey Parco, look what we have.

The peg-legged troll blacksmith comes.

Demon#2: Amalthea, unicorn leader’s mate.

Parco: Ohh, she’s prettier than I imagined.

She stomps her hoof on his foot.

Parco: OWW!! My foot, my only foot! I’ll be back, I need to soak my foot.

Josh: (Gasps)

He goes back to the dining room, Asteroth already left.

Josh: (Pants) Guys! Guys! I saw Amalthea in the stable, we gotta save her!

Sara (zombie-like): I obey only Asteroth.

Josh: Oh great, Asteroth’s cook must’ve put weird stuff in the pizza to turn everyone into zombies.

He notices Eilony finishing her drink and is about to eat her pizza, but…

Josh: Eilony! Don’t eat that stuff!

Eilony: Huh? What’s wrong, Josh-man?

Josh: You eat that stuff, you’ll become a zombie like the others. Someone’s comin’, hide.

They hide behind a suit of armor as Balthar, Onrog, Xorp & Asteroth come in.

Asteroth: Yes, they are my slaves.

Onrog: Oh boy, boss, I love it when you make mortals into zombies.

Asteroth: I do too. (chuckling evilly…) Now, stop dawdling and put these brats to work!

Xorp: Yes, your lordship!

They lead us to different places of the castle.

Eilony: We gotta save our friends & my sister.

Josh: Yeah, but how do we break the spell?

Eilony: Maybe there’s somethin’ in the kitchen we could use.

Josh: Good idea, let’s go.

(Puck shoots by) The others are slicing through the thorns with Bulbasaur’s Razor Leaf, Duke’s saber & Borg’s sword.

Borg: Well done, my friends, now we must save the unicorns & Trainers.

Wildwing: Mallory, Duke, get to the unicorns, the rest of us will save the Trainers. Let’s move!

Nosedive (at screen): Hey Kari, get to the “To be continued” thing, be a friend.

Kari (VO): Well, all right, if you say so. Can the guys save the Trainers & unicorns from Asteroth? keep watching “The Mighty Ducks”/“Pokemon: the Chosen Trainers”.

To be continued…
