Shrek Forever After Page #19

Rumpelstiltskin:
I present Shrek and Fiona!

The prisoners looked up, both glaring at Rumpelstiltskin and the horde of witches up above peering down at them, and the witches all booed and jeered the ogres.

Rumpelstiltskin:
And now, to put the past behind us once and for all, I give ya a princess's worst nightmare! Fiona's old flame, the keeper of the keep...

As he continued speaking, Shrek and Fiona saw a gate in the dungeon opening up and a familiar red dragon stormed in.

Rumpelstiltskin:
Dragon!

She let out a huge roar and then started breathing fire. She stomped about, getting ready to finish her prisoners as Rumpelstiltskin laughed heartlessly, enjoying the ogres' soon-to-be demise. Then suddenly he and the witches heard a familiar voice singing from out of nowhere.

Donkey's Voice:
(singing) Winter, spring, summer, or fall

They all gasped, looking up at the big ball, seeing Donkey at the top of it, singing.

Donkey:
(singing) All you got to do is call And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah

Dragon, who was nearing Shrek, turned her attention up to the ball.

Shrek:
Donkey?

Donkey:
And Puss!

On cue, though very slowly, Puss slid down the rope holding the ball, and this time, he was wearing his hat, cape and boots.

Puss:
In Boots!

He tap danced a bit on top of the ball, and then from inside it, a humming noise was heard, to the witches' and Rumpelstiltskin's concern.

Rumpelstiltskin:
What?

They all looked around to see where the noise was coming from, and the new ball suddenly broke open like a pinata and all the resistance ogres began flying out of it, yelling. The whole thing turned out to be a Trojan horse reenactment with the ogres using their shields to make it convincing. All the witches screamed as the ogres chased after them with their clubs and weapons, ready to clobber them. Brogan leaped out towards where Rumpelstiltskin was, making the dictator scream as he ran for it. Brogan rose his club, ready to strike the villain, but one of the witches flew by on her broomstick, scooping up her master and taking him to the higher balcony, dropping him there. Rumpelstiltskin jumped onto the railing and looked down at the chaos in horror. Puss and Donkey meanwhile saw Dragon returning her attention to the ogres, snarling like mad and ready to attack again, but Puss then cut the rope of the platform he and Donkey were on, sending them falling and screaming, but they landed on Dragon's head, knocking her down for the count. Rumpelstiltskin, still watching, grumbled and growled.

Rumpelstiltskin:
Get them! Get them, witches!

So the witches on the balcony got out their pumpkin bombs and chucked them down to where all the resistance ogres were. They luckily saw the pumpkins about to be thrown.

Ogre:
Incoming!

They all took their shields and blocked themselves with them, with the exploding pumpkins bouncing off and not blowing up one single ogre. The woozy Donkey got up on his legs.

Shrek:
Donkey, woo her!

Donkey:
Woo who?

Shrek:
Your wife!

Speaking of whom, Dragon growled as she stomped behind the fear-stricken Donkey. He timidly turned, screaming a bit. Then suddenly the lights changed to blue as Donkey's fearful expression changed to a smooth charmer expression, with the donkey trying his best to woo the reptile, who's look of anger began to fade, as if the charm was working. Donkey then gave a grin, and Dragon batted her eyelashes lovingly. At this time, a certain Lionel Richie song played.

Hello Is it me you're looking for I can see it in your eyes

The two were about to kiss until Dragon's mouth opened wide around Donkey.

Donkey:
Uh oh.

Then in one chomp, Donkey ended up in her mouth. Puss then leaped onto the dragon's spine, grabbed his sword and jabbed it right into the back, making the dragon roar and spit out Donkey, who was sent flying in the air.

Donkey:
Wahoo!

He hitched a ride onto a passing witch's broomstick.

Donkey:
(calls out to Dragon) I'll call you! (to the witch) We're in love!

Witch:
Good for you.

Back below, the dragon spotted the fat cat and just as she tried to eat him, he leaped out of the way, shouting in excitement. He rode her tail, which she swished around like mad, hitting a wall where Shrek was, and the ogre ducked in time. Then Dragon flicked the screeching fat cat off her tail, and Fiona caught him in her arms. Fiona gasped, knowing Dragon was coming for them, so she turned away, getting ready for the blow and Dragon exhaled the biggest breath of flame from her mouth. After she breathed it, she then saw that Fiona and Puss were no longer there, then she spotted the ogre being lifted up by the chains, thanks to Shrek pulling on the chains with his wrists, and Puss was holding onto Fiona's back.

Shrek:
Fiona, hold on! (to Dragon) Hey, you!

He then got Dragon chasing after him as he continued pulling on the chains.

Shrek:
Whoa!

Then Shrek and Fiona ended up swinging around on both chains all around the room, and each time they got near Dragon's mouth, she tried to eat them, only to miss. Then both ogres each reached a dangling cage. Shrek reached out his hand, and Fiona swung a bit, taking his hand. Back above, witches kept launching skull chains at the ogres, pulling them up, though no matter how many skull chains ensnared Brogan, he did his best to resist. He even grabbed some of the chains and tossed some of the witches who had them down. Then, on the balcony, the short villain saw chimichangas being fired at some of the witches near him.

Rumpelstiltskin:
Chimichangas?!

Down below, Cookie was launching the aforementioned sticky foods from his cart/catapult.

Cookie:
Get 'em while they're hot!

He even launched one at the witch that Donkey was riding with. When the witch was knocked down by the snack, Donkey was impressed. Below in the dungeon, Shrek and Fiona made it the top of the middle dangling cage. They looked down, waiting for Dragon to leap out at them, and when she did, that was their chance.

Fiona:
Jump!

They both leaped onto the separate cages, while Dragon got her snout stuck in the middle cage. They looked at each other while holding their chains.

Shrek:
Now!

They both leaped off the cages, and started swinging around Dragon like acrobats.

Fiona:
Woo-hoo!

As Dragon kept struggling to get the cage off her muzzle, the two ogres began wrapping the chains around the reptile, starting with her tail.

Shrek:
The dragon goes under the bridge!

Fiona:
Through the loop!

Shrek:
And finally...

They then both reached the center of the dragon's back, finishing trussing her in chains.

Both:
Into the castle!

They both tugged on the chains, and Dragon, bound in them, was sent tumbling down. Then Shrek and Fiona looked at the battle still going on above. The witches were screaming as the ogres were getting the better of them.

Palace Witch:
Run!

Some witches ran and flew off on their brooms, screaming. On the balcony, Rumpelstiltskin saw that ogres were closing in on both sides where he was, giving him nowhere to run. He then made for the balcony's railing as the ogres had him cornered. He turned back towards them.
