Someone brought up the idea that Cedric should meet up with different Disney villains to help with his plans. I thought it would be hilarious to have him meet up with Gaston given as they both seem to be on opposite ends of the personality spectrum.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sofia the First or Gaston. Both belong to Disney.
Cedric didn't know what else to do. He had tried everything he could to try to take the Amulet of Avalor away from Princess Sofia with no avail. It seemed no matter what he tried, he just couldn't succeed in taking over the Kingdom of Enchancia. It seemed like he had no other choice but to turn to help.
While looking through the book of spells, Cedric came upon a spell able to summon past villains from the grave. Perhaps one of them could help him in taking over the kingdom. Cedric started preparing the spell, drawing a pentagram in the center of his workshop.
"Alright, Wormy; here's hoping everything goes according to plan." said Cedric to his raven, Wormwood.
Cedric took a small knife and pricked his finger. He winced as he drew blood and let a single drop fall onto the pentagram drawn floor. Cedric stood back and waved his wand.
"Malum ex mortuis revocare!"
Cedric's wand cast itself into the center of the pentagram and a light of Hellish fire sprang forth. Cedric had no idea whether or not the spell worked; all he knew was that it was bringing forth something sinister.
A large silhouette appeared from the fire. It seemed, broad, muscular, able to take on any foe that came at it. Cedric felt a twinge of both fear and excitement. The silhouette walked out from the pentagram, revealing its true form: a handsome man with black hair, hunting attire, and muscular all over. Cedric's jaw dropped in shock, surprise, and a little disappointment; he was hoping to resurrect someone like Jafar or Maleficent, but instead he ended up with Gaston.
"Well, this is the one who brought me back from the grave." Said Gaston approaching Cedric, "A bit scrawnier than I would've imagined, though."
Cedric was bewildered, looking at his spell book.
"How could this be? How could the spell have sent someone like you?"
"Well it seems you needed my help the most." said Gaston, grabbing Cedric's spell book from over his head and looking over it, "How are you able to read all this? Its like its in a different language."
"It IS in a different language; its Latin." said Cedric in annoyance, "Now give it back."
"Well, I think I see your problem." said Gaston, throwing the book on the other side of the workshop, almost knocking over the painting of Cedric's parents, "Now, from what I've heard, you've been wanting to take over this kingdom."
"How did you know that?" asked Cedric.
"Being dead doesn't prevent me from hearing people from the other side." explained Gaston, "Now I don't think burying yourself in all these books and potions is doing you any favors."
"But I'm a sorcerer." said Cedric.
"Being a sorcerer isn't the same as being a king. Do you think King Roland and his royal family are beloved and given their power for their brains or knowledge? Of course not. Its because they're all the rage and lets face it, from my analysis, you make ducks on the farm look prestigious."
'He DOES seem to make a valid argument.' Cedric thought to himself.
"Don't worry, my socially inept friend; with my help, you'll make the Emperor of Weiling look like your everyday laundromat worker. What do you say?"
Cedric couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the strongman's shamelessness, but what other choice did he have in taking over the kingdom? Gaston might be the only chance he had at becoming king. Cedric reluctantly decided to reach his hand out to him in agreement.
"Excellent." said Gaston, squeezing Cedric's hand, nearly crushing the bones inside, "I knew you'd see it my way."
Cedric felt nervous making this deal. Somehow he felt as if he would come to regret his decision later on.
So that's the first chapter. Tell me what you think.
