One for All Deerdons

David, Shadow, Ken, Sara, Ashley, and Foxy were walking through a forest while staying on a clear grassy path. Ken turned to Foxy while walking and asked, "Hey Foxy. What will we do once we get to the forest town?"

"Well in the forest town you will get to see how wizards and witches live and the different kinds of shops. Although the main attraction that we will visit will be the museum of the past. You will learn all about the greatest battles that the older legendary sorcerers have fought. I hope it will inspire you all to your full capabilities."

David said, "Cool. The more we know the better and speaking of knowing more how about you Shadow? Are you ready to tell us what you know about the castle of darkness? I still don't know if whether or not you even been there."

"I don't know much" Shadow said not bothering to look at David. "I just mind my own business. Something you should try."

"Touchy" David said.

Ashley said, "I hope when we get to the forest town we can have some relaxing fun. I would like to get a massage, go horseback riding, and eat at a nice restaurant. Something other than fighting dark sorcerers and saving people which seem to be all that we do nowadays."

Sara laughed. "It does seem like being heroes is a full time job with us."

Their was a baby deer with one antler growing from the top of its head. The deer was brown and spotted and had floppy ears and a bushy tail. Ratso said, "A deerdon. This will be perfect to use to my advantage." A bigger deerdon galloped to the baby and growled at Ratso. "You will do." He raised his wand and chanted, "

Sending dark waves and vibrations,

I steal this creature's liberation.

Freedom forfeit to my will,

my enemies fortune falls to ill.

Dark energy came out of Ratso's wand and focused into bigger deerdon's single antler. The antler changed color from brown to black and the deerdon relaxed and looked ready to obey. Ratso walked up to it and jumped on its back. He said, "Now deerdon use your magic and call all the deerdons you can and tell them to follow us." The deerdon with the black antler sent waves of dark energy from its dark antler.

Foxy's rabbit ears twitched and his fox tail swished back and forth. He shouted "Their is a herd of something coming at us. Up the trees everyone!" David and Foxy quickly climbed one tree and sat on the nearest branch while Shadow and Sara were the first to climb up another tree. Ken was trying to climb up the tree that David and Foxy were in but to no avail.

David said, "Ken, grab my hand! David gripped the tree branch tightly with his legs and lend both hands to Ken. Ken jumped up and grabbed David's hands with his. David pulled with all his might and dragged Ken up the tree branch on his stomach. Ken sat up and held onto the tree branch.

Ashley tried to climb the tree that Shadow and Sara were in but couldn't climb the tree right. Ashley looked at her hands and said, "The tree is to rough. I can't climb it."

Sara grabbed on the tree branch with one hand and brought down her other and said, "Grab my hand Ashley." Ashley jumped and grabbed onto Sara's hand. Sara grunted and pulled but she could barely bend her arm. "I can't!" The deerdons were now in sight and galloping towards David and the others.

Shadow lend a hand down and said, "Ashley give me your other hand." She reach out to Shadow's hand and he grabbed her wrist. "Now the other." she did what Shadow told her to and let go of Sara's hand and he grabbed her other wrist and crouched on the tree branch and pulled Ashley up with his biceps bulging and flexing. Ashley sat and held onto the tree branch as the deerdons ran pass the trees that David and the others were in.

David and Foxy jumped out of the tree when the forest was clear. David held his arms up to Ken and asked, "Can you jump?"

"Okay" Ken jumped from the tree branch and into David's arms which he use to slow Ken's descent.

Shadow jumped and Sara slid off the tree branch. "Shadow can you catch me in your arms" Ashley asked.

"Fine" Shadow said in an annoyed voice. He lifted his arms preparing to catch Ashley bridal carry style. She jumped out of the tree branch and he caught her in his arms. Ashley looked up into Shadow's uncaring face and placed her hand on his chest. She could feel that beneath Shadow's sleeveless shirt were hard sculpted pecs.

Ashley took a deep breath and let out a small, "Wow" as she sighed.

Shadow placed Ashley down on her feet and refused to look at her when he said, "Pathetic." David and the others regrouped together.

Foxy said, "A deerdon must be in some kind of trouble. They don't act like that unless they get signal waves from another."

Ratso came riding up to David and the others on the deerdon with a black antler that Ratso had under his control. Ratso stopped in front of David and the others and said, "This time I have you kiddies. I will overcome you with sheer numbers." Ratso kicked the deerdon that he was riding with his heel and the deerdon threw back its hand and sent a black signal wave through out the forest. The other deerdons came from behind Ratso and started growling. Shadow said to Ratso, "Can't you fight your own battles?! Come on, prove your not the weakest dark sorcerer and fight me one on one like a man!"

Ratso laughed and asked, "Why should I when I have an army to fight for me?" Ratso leaned his head to the deerdon with the black antler that he was riding and said to the deerdon, "You're all in danger. All of you must attack the sorcerers standing in front of you." The deerdon let out another black signal wave and the other deerdons started chraging at David and the others.

David, Shadow, Ken, Sara, and Ashley conjured their different colors wands, raised them in the air, and exclaimed, "Sorcerer evolution!" In a flash of multi colors David was wearing a red robe with a gold design. Shadow was wearing a half black and half dark green robe. Ken had blue, Sara had white, and Ashley had a pink robe.

David called out, "Wait deerdons we're not the bad guys. We don't want to hurt you." The deerdons ignored him had kept charging.

Shadow pointed his wand at the charging deerdons and exclaimed, "Dark blaster! A blast of dark energy shot out of Shadow's wand and hit a couple of deerdons in the middle front of the charging herd and knocked them down.

Ken exclaimed, "Water blaster!"

Sara exclaimed, "White feathers attack!" A hydro of Water blasted out of Ken's wand and strong winds with white glowing feather blasted out of Sara's wand. One attack knocked down the deerdons on the left and the other attack knocked down the deerdons on the right. The deerdons that were behind them stopped and began to circle David and the others.

Ratso said, "Give me your wands children and I'll let you go."

"Never going to happen" Shadow shouted back. The deerdons that were knocked down got back up and joined the other deerdons in circling David and the others.

Ratso asked, "Are you sure about that? You don't look like you have any other choices."

Ken looked up at David and said, "Lets combine our magic and to create mist that will give us cover."

David nodded his head then pointed his wand up and exclaimed, "Magical flamethrower!"

Ken pointed his wand up toward David's and exclaimed, "Water blaster!" The fire and water from David's and Ken's attack hit each other in the air right above them and turned to a thick steam that covered the area. Ken put a hand on Ashley's arm and said, "Ashley make path by distracting those deerdons.

"Right" Ashley exclaimed, "Dizzy daisies!" A bunch of small fuzzy purple balls shot out of her wand and blew pass the deerdons on one side. The deerdons bent their knees to try to get their bearing as they were now feeling woozy. David and the others slipped by them and ran deeper into the forest while under the cover of the steamy mist.

David and the others stopped when they were in the clear. Sara asked, "How are we suppose to beat all those deerdons?"

"We don't have to" Foxy answered. "All we have to do is free the deerdon with the black antler from Ratso's spell."

Ashley asked, "How are we going to do that?" A baby deerdon came walking over to Foxy and began to whimper.

Foxy looked down at the baby deerdon and asked, "What's wrong little one?" The baby deerdon just looked at Foxy.

Ken asked, "Do you think this little guy is the baby of the deerdon with the black antler?"

Foxy said, "It makes sense. Deerdons have a strong family bond and community. You know this baby deerdon might be able to help free its mother from Ratso's control."

Ken leaned down to the baby deerdon and asked, "Would you like that little guy?" The baby deerdon lick his face. Ken smiled.

Ratso and the deerdon he was riding came up behind David and the others and said, "Here you are. You can't hide from me."

"Who's hiding" Shadow asked that sounded more like a statement rather then a question. The other deerdons were behind Ratso and his deerdon and they were growling and shaking their heads throwing their single antlers side to side.

Ratso shouted, "Attack!" The black antler deerdon sent out a signal wave.

Foxy petted the baby deerdon and said, "Now little one. Call for your mother." The baby deerdon sent out a signal wave of its own towards its mother. As the black antler deerdon listened the other deerdons started forward at David and the others. The mother deerdon that Ratso was still riding on shook its head and was rearing. The heard of deerdons stopped and watched.

David exclaimed, "I got this. Magical flamethower!" A blast of fire came out of David's red wand and shot at both the deerdon's black antler and at Ratso who was holding on tight to his ride. The fire knocked Ratso off the deerdon and the deerdon's antler turned brown again. The deerdon turned to face Ratso and sent out a signal wave to the others. All the deerdons turned on Ratso and began to growl, their bush tails getting even bushier.

Ratso said, "It looks like its time for me to go. Until next time." Ratso waved his wand over himself and he disappeared in a puff of black smoke.

The baby deerdon ran over to its mother and started rubbing it head on her. David and the others transformed back into their regular clothes. Ken held his cheeks and said, "That is so cute. I love a happy ending."

"Me too" David said with a smile.
