My Friend Bendy (A Batim/Disney Crossover)

Chapter Fifteen

Bendy's POV

A whole plan had been set up the moment Jim left us on the ride.

Apparently there were four Dapper Dans, the Woody Imposter, the girl with blue hair and Aiden, the strange waiter from yesterday. They all managed to close in on Dinoland, so Jim got Miss Tiana's nice husband, Prince Naveen and her gator friend, Louis, to create a distraction to draw a crowd while Tiana got us and lead us away to Asia. Holding her hands as she quickly got us past the commotion, I couldn't help but smile at such a perfect plan.

"Those boys should be able to give us time before those no good nitwits find us." Tiana was telling us. "Are you dollies, alright?"

"Just fine, thanks to you!" I said.

"Where will we be going?" Charlie asked her. "It'll take longer to get to Pandora on this route."

"I know. But I'll get you two someplace safe until everything is clear. We're going underground for the time being." Tiana said.

"So what are those fancy tunnels for, again?" I asked.

"It's for Cast Members and you guys to travel quickly around the parks, right? I'm sure that's what Mulan told us." Charlie said, although I didn't ask that smug little delinquent.

"Yes. But also as... I guess you'd say a home for characters like us. Durin' the day we all stay down there. But once the park closes we're allowed to run free as we please!" Tiana said.

That sounded so swell! Disney sounded like such a nice place, and with guys as nice as Mulan, and Jim, and Tiana it almost made me wish Mr. Disney had created me and not Mr. Drew...

I swear, the things I'd do to that bastard if he were still around...

Suddenly, Tiana held our hands tighter and pulled us closer to her.

"Keep your eyes forward and keep walking." she said.

"Huh? Why—?"

"Just listen to me!" she cut Charlie off.

Instantly, my eyes started wandering for a suspicious person in the crowd, but nobody really seemed to be standing out; all I could see was nothing but average people going about their day—

"ACK!"

Charlie fell backwards, slipping from Tiana's grasp and falling against the ground.

"Charlie!"

She quickly turned to help him back to his feet. I stared at the ground behind him, dumbfounded. Either I was crazy or there was a shadow with a big creepy grin behind Charlie's shadow...

"Are you ok, sugar?" Tiana was asking him. "You didn't hit your head did you?"

"No, I'm fine..." he muttered while rubbing the back of his head.

"Apologies!"

A man was approaching us with frizzed hair, a fancy black coat, and a big grin. In seconds, Tiana was up and pulling Charlie and I behind her with a defensive look.

"Didn't mean to give the boy that hard a tug, wanted to get your attention is all!" He had a charming tone to his voice.

"You outta know better than to use magic around people, shadow man. You'll get yourself in trouble!" Tiana spoke sternly.

"I could say the same to you, Missy~"

I saw Charlie's eyes go wide, in what looked like amazement.

"You know this guy?" I asked him.

"He's Dr. Facilier! The villain from Tiana's film!" He looked at me. "He's one of my favorite Disney villains! He's a witch doctor that uses voodoo magic and stuff, it's really cool!"

"Smart lil' guy aren't ya~?" Dr. Facilier sent us that suave grin.

Tiana backed up with us, standing her ground.

"We don't have time to dilly dally. C'mon boys,"

She tried to lead us away, but Dr. Facilier was immediately in front of us, or rather in front of me...

"So is this fabled ink demon? Not what I expected! I've heard a lot about you, you're quite a sight a to behold~"

"G-Golly! That's awful nice of ya!" I bet I was blushing.

"Oh no!" Tiana pointed a finger at Dr. Facilier. "Listen, I don't know what you're up to, but you're not pulling these boys into anything! Ya hear?"

"My apologies, Miss Froggy~" Weird nickname. I'll have to ask Charlie to show me their film.

"I'll do y'all a favor." I saw a gleam in his violet eyes. "I'll hold off all of them bad folks so y'all can get where you need to go. But you'll have to repay me later on—"

"Nuh-uh, let's go."

Tiana didn't even let him finish. She took our hands and quickly dragged us away from Dr. Facilier and into the crowd.

"Tiana...?" Charlie looked up at her. "If Facilier has his powers like in the movie... does that mean the other villains have their powers? I mean, we saw some imposters get sent in the air by pixie dust from Tinkerbell yesterday so—"

"Don't think on it to much, babe. You'll understand soon enough." she pat his head.

"And as for you," her tone shifted as she looked at me. "Don't take anything the villains here offer you. Not a gift, not a deal, nothing!"

"Yes ma'am!" she was intimidating. But I liked it!

"I can't say I know who all are villains here though..."

"I got a book full of Disney's villains. I'll teach you a little later, ok?" Charlie sent me a smile, that I happily returned. But as we kept walking, I couldn't help but glance back at the suave witch doctor.

He was nowhere to be seen.
