As Belle hurtled through el espacio and time, she was shocked and confused. If all the remaining princesses were present, then who did it? All of them seemed to die, o have some sort of seizure o corazón failure. Why hadn't she? Who did it? Could one of the other princesses have faked her own death? But, if they did...how?
All her thoughts stopped as she landed flat on her back on the stone floor of a shadowy room. Then suddenly she could see ropes draped all around the room-ropes that looked strange, like they were woven out of silk. She looked around the room. The shadows made it look like it went on forever, and there were only a few small windows, which hardly let in any light.
Turning her head, Belle saw a row o chairs-filled with the princesses! They were tied up with that silk rope, lined up one por one. The princesses who had been dead before-Jasmine, Snow White, Mulan, Cinderella, and Ariel- were motionless, but Belle couldn't tell if they were unconscious o dead. None of the wound marks that had been there showed. But the ones who had recently disappeared, like Belle-Aurora, Tiana, and Pocahontas- were moving, fighting the ropes, which were moving on their own. Tying them to the chairs. Once they were bound and gaged, and had dado up fighting the ropes, they looked up and saw Belle. They dicho nothing, but their expressions seemed to say, "Go! Run!" But Belle didn't know where to go.
As soon as the princesses looked up, the rope-there seemed to be miles of it- noticed Belle's presence. Instead of tying her to a chair, like the others, rope simply came and pinned her wrists, ankles, and neck to the wall. A small, barefooted figure, dressed in purple and holding the rope, stepped out of the shadows and into Belle's line of vision.
It was Rapunzel.
Belle gasped, but the rope-which Belle now realized was Rapunzel's hair- tightened around her neck. Rapunzel smirked, seeing Belle's pain, and spoke. "Sweet little Belle. tu didn't realize until it was too late, did you? tu were too busy accusing your poor little friends, isn't that right?"
"But...why?"
"Haven't tu noticed? Everyone already hates me. 'The only good part of the trailer is the part with the prince.' 'It'll never be as good as the classics.' 'The name is so stupid!' Blah, blah, blah. With all the other cine destroyed, mine will be the only one to praise. After tu comes the others- Toy Story, The Lion King, Bambi, even anastasia has to go."
"How...how did you-"
Rapunzel laughed as she cut Belle off. "There are some perks to being in 3D, tu know." She took a small remote control out of her pocket- not one for TV, but a highly advanced type thing. She twirled it around her finger. "Those imágenes of dead girls tu saw were just models. tu were all alone at one point, weren't you? At those times, I just kidnapped the originals, made dummies of them, and killed them! Simple as that. jazmín and mulan were taken days before they died. And Snow White-well, once she figured it out, I couldn't let her tell everyone, could I?" She walked closer. "With this remote, I can transport anyone out of any movie and replace them with a model. I can even transport myself and do it physically. I bring them right back here and tie them up. Because they can't have a Rapunzel with SHORT hair, once I cut it off to tie someone up, it grows right back."
As she talked on and on, Mushu worked his way out of his hiding place under Pocahontas' chair. He pointed to the remote, then himself, then to Belle. Belle managed to nod without Rapunzel noticing-she thought Belle was trying to find a way to breathe easier. In the middle of Rapunzel's monologue, Belle shouted, "NOW!" Mushu sprang up, knocked the remote out of Rapunzel's hands, and sent it flying straight into Belle's. Belle didn't hesitate- she pushed a button, any button, with her finger- and was sent through time once again.
When she landed, she found herself back at Adam's castle.
"Why, Belle! We weren't expecting tu for-"
"Adam, no time for that! Everyone's in danger!"
"WHAT?"
Belle explained the situation to Adam and the servants. They all came as Belle went to rally más people- all the princes, their sidekicks, even people from the non-princess movie-lions from The Lion King, bears and wild gatos from The Jungle Book, even got Anya, Dimitri, and Vlad from Anastasia, figuring they were in danger too.
After gathering everyone, she transported back to Rapunzel's tower, causing a riot. Most of the people fought against Rapunzel, who was using her hair and a segundo remote to take them down. Belle gathered Simba and Nala to cut the ropes on the princesses and the fairies, and soon Rapunzel was simply overpowered. After a quick poll, Belle and some others used the cut portions of hair to tied Rapunzel up. Then, she told Dimitri, Aladdin, and Lumiere to buscar the tower, and confiscate and remotes they find. Before tying her up, mulan frisked Rapunzel for más remotes and found four. Baloo crushed them under his feet and with his paws, along with the seventeen Dimitri, Aladdin, and Lumiere had found. They untied the captured fighters, and used the remote Belle had to see that everyone that had been transported during the fight had been sent to the correct movie. Then, she locked the outside of the tower, insuring that no one could get in o out without a remote.
"But my prince won't be able to get in! My movie will be ruined!"
"That's your problem," Belle dicho smoothly.
"You'll pay! You'll regret the día tu crossed Rapun-" She was cut off as Shang gagged her. Then Belle stood and spoke the words everybody wanted to hear.
"Come on, everyone. Let's go home."
