Shrek Forever After Page #9

He walked away, mockingly humming "Happy Birthday", and that's when it dawned on Shrek.

Shrek:
You took the day I was born.

The dictator held his toes before spreading his legs out.

Rumpelstiltskin:
No, Shrek. You gave it to me.

Shrek:
Enjoy this while you can, Stiltskin, because when this day is up…

Rumpelstiltskin:
(interrupts) But you haven’t heard the best part.

He snapped his fingers, and another witch brought over a huge magic hourglass to the table, rerpesenting the remaining hours of the day.

Rumpelstiltskin:
Since you were never born, once this day comes to an end, so will you.

The witches all laughed as Shrek saw the hourglass with the sand running, which meant the time he had left was running.

Shrek:
Where’s Fiona? Where’s my family?

Rumpelstiltskin:
Silly little ogre. You don’t get it, do you? You see, you were never born. You never met Fiona. (menacingly) Your kids don’t exist.

Then the witches all laughed at Shrek's misery, making the ogre more upset. Rumpelstiltskin even taunted him some more.

Rumpelstiltskin:
How’s that for a metaphysical paradox?! Looks like you got exactly what you wanted! (mockingly) HAPPY OGRE DAY!!!!

Shrek finally snapped and went for the short man.

Shrek:
(furiously) Rumpel!!

He lunged at Rumpelstiltskin, who yelped in alarm as he jumped back.

Rumpelstiltskin:
Get him, witches!

A witch fired another skull chain at Shrek, but he sensed it was coming this time, so he turned and blocked himself with the chains of his cuffs, just in time for the skull to reach him. The skull chomped the chains, breaking them. The witches screamed in alarm and panic as Shrek then ripped the shackles off his neck, growling. Another witch flying on a broomstick was twirling a skull chain and firing it at Shrek, but he quickly grabbed it and gave it a yank, pulling the witch down to his level. Shrek and the witch were face-to-face, with the witch worried what he would do to her.

Outside in the halls, Donkey was speaking to two witches, though it was hard to tell if they were paying attention or ignoring.

Donkey:
You know what’d help morale around here? Flip-flop Fridays. Feet would be comfortable with the breeze on your toes.

Then, without warning, the doors burst open and Shrek came flying through on the broomstick he took, rather clumsily. He knocked the two witches and Donkey down in the process, and at this time, "Click Click" by Light FM started playing. Shrek yelped a bit as he rode a loop-de-loop. Donkey looked over the edge of the bridge he was on and saw Shrek spiraling downward before trying to ride the broom on the bottom story, though not doing very well.

Witch:
Come on, girls!

Five of the witches leaped off the bridge and onto their broomsticks, cackling madly as they pursued the ogre throughout the floor. Through the halls, Shrek still tried getting the hang of flying a broom as the pumpkin witch chucked pumpkin bombs at him, but he luckily dodged each one. Back on the top story, Rumpelstiltskin came out, angrily shoving one of the witches.

Rumpelstiltskin:
Lock all the doors, you worthless witches! (kicks a witch) Do it!

The short man then saw Shrek flying up towards him with a stern look, making him yelp. As the ogre on the broom zoomed upward, Rumpelstiltskin's wig briefly flew off his head from the impact.

Shrek:
(calls back) I’ll be right back, Donkey!

He zoomed off, trying to figure out how to shake the witches.

Donkey:
I don’t know you!

He then looked back at Rumpelstiltskin.

Donkey:
I don’t know him!

The witches pursued Shrek through a higher story, and when he came to the edge and saw a pole, he smirked, getting an idea. Once he came to the pole, he swung around it and flew back, though rather lop-sided. When the witches saw him swerving towards them, they all flew out of the way to avoid getting hit. Shrek then managed to get a decent hold of the broom as he zoomed back to the bottom floor, dodging more incoming pumpkin bombs. He came back to the floor where Rumpelstiltskin and Donkey were, stopped the broom and glared at the foe.

Donkey:
I’m glad I’m not you.

The dictator ran off as Shrek then swooped in, but instead of going after the deal maker who stole his birth, he scooped up Donkey in one swipe and flew into another room, with Donkey screaming for help.

Donkey:
Help me! Help!

Shrek saw the skylight up above, and he smirked, getting an escape idea.

Donkey:
Help!

With the witches still on the ogre's tail, he swung around the golden chain of a huge shiny ball hung as the castle's centerpiece. He grabbed the chain, and began to twirl around the room while holding the chain, using the ball to smash everything in its path, with the witches (the ones who weren't chasing Shrek) all screaming as they ran to avoid getting crushed by the ball or the debris. While this happened, Rumpelstiltskin could only watch helplessly and in despair.

Rumpelstiltskin:
No, not my pretty ball!

The witches continued pursuing Shrek, with the ogre and donkey getting closer to the skylight, with Donkey screaming and Shrek yelling.

Shrek:
(covers Donkey's eyes) Watch out!

The two then smashed straight through the skylight with the ball getting jammed in the hole, and the flying witches' brooms getting pinned to the ball itself, and some fell off, screaming, and landed on the floor. Outside, Shrek and Donkey zoomed off and away from the castle, with Donkey still screaming. Back in the castle, the ball didn't have anything to latch itself to, so it didn't take long for the ball itself to creak loudly, before falling back and crashing into the ground with a very loud thump.

Rumpelstiltskin:
Wolfie? My angry wig.

The witch maids walked away in worry while Wolf removed the business wig and replaced it with a new one, which was a tall, red, fiery wig that resembled either Syndrome's hair from the Incredibles or a Troll doll's hair. Wolf walked away as well before the dictator breathed in anger.

With Shrek and Donkey, the two continued riding the broom, with the latter still panicking and struggling to get out of the ogre's grip.

Donkey:
Help! I’ve been kidnapped by a deranged, unbalanced ogre!

Shrek:
Donkey! Get off of me! Watch it with your pointy hooves!

Then they ended up crashing through a tree, and it looked like Donkey was riding the broom with Shrek holding onto the edge. Then, as they crashed through another tree, and it looked like Shrek was riding the broom backwards with Donkey riding on the bottom, upside-down. Then, after crashing through another tree, the two ended up flying off the broomstick and on the ground hard, with Shrek on his back and Donkey on the ogre's stomach. Donkey then looked very worried, and then, the next thing you know, he was running for his life with the ogre chasing after him.

Donkey:
Just take my wallet!

Shrek:
Hey!

Donkey:
I’m being ass-napped!

Shrek then tackled his best friend, who was still terrified of the ogre.
