Chapter 9: Meeting a Freshman

Andrea's POV:
As we walked to the Main Street, I gazed in awe by the scenery around me. "This is a mix of Hogwarts from Harry Potter and Villains from Disney." I thought as we reach the Main Street. "Uwash~ Amazing. So this is Main Street. I didn't get a good look yesterday, but what's with these statues? All seven of them look pretty scary." "Hm?" I turn to his direction and gasp at the seven statues. "Hm? What?" Grim looked at me in confusion, "I know those guys." I said as a smile formed on my lips. "Huh?! You do?!" He asked in shock, I nodded and dragged him to look at the seven villians from my favorite Disney movies. We stopped in front of the statue of the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland.

"Let's start with her; this is the Queen of Hearts. She's the ruler of Wonderland, a world where chaos and madness exist. In Wonderland, the Queen of Hearts was a strict woman who valued rules and discipline above others, strict things from the march of the Card Soldiers to the color of the rose bushes. Every single citizen in Wonderland all submit to her rule. Why? Because if you break the rules or make her lose her temper, then it's OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!" I explained while impersonating the Queen of Hearts from the movie. "That's terrifying!" Grim shivered. "Really? It's cool! I like it." A voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Grim and I turned to see a boy who looks like he's a year younger than I am, like he's 16 years old, has messy dark orange hair and red eyes. Over his left eye, he has a red patch shaped like a heart. And he's wearing a school uniform.

"Uh, hi... who are you?" I asked curiously, "Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your conversation, but I just couldn't help but overheard you talking about the Queen of Hearts. Hell, I'm even surprised that you actually knew who the Great Seven are." He said, "The Great Seven?" I arc my eyebrow, "Yup, that's what we called them in our school, but I also have to agree with ya. Nobody would listen to a queen who's just nice all the time, right?" Well, I don't think 'nice' is the right word to describe the Queen of Hearts. But the Great Seven? I like it, it has a nice ring to it. "I suppose. A strong leader is better. By the way, my henchman asked you a question." I frowned at him, what did he just call me? "Who the hell are you calling 'henchman'?" I said, "Well, I don't see anyone else besides him." Grim said with a smirk, making me glare at him. 

"Watch what comes out of your mouth, you damn raccoon cat!" "I'm not a raccoon or a cat, henchman!" He yelled, "Well I'm not your henchman, you annoying pain in the ass!" I yelled as we glare at each other, causing the male student to laugh. "You guys are hilarious! I'm Ace. A fresh-faced first year. Nice to meetcha." He introduced himself, "I am Grim. A genius who'll become the greatest magician. The dimwit over here is Andie. She's my henchman-OW!" Grim winced after I bonked the back of his head. "Not his henchman. But yeah, I'm Andie Williams." "Andie? Weird name." Weird name? You're the one to talk. "Hey Andie. The lion over there with the scar, are they famous?" Grim asked as he pulled my pants a little, I turned to see the statue of Scar from the Lion King.

"Him? That's Scar, he rules over Savannah." I said, "Yup, he's also known as the King of Beasts. However, he was not born king, but he took the throne through effort ad elaborate planning. After becoming king, he even allowed the loathed hyenas to live in his kingdom without discrimination." Ace explained. "Ooooh. I guess he was a rock not held captive by his status! Who's the lady with octopus legs?" Grim asked while pointing at the statue of Ursula from The Little Mermaid.

"That's Ursula, she's the Sea Witch who lives in the cavern in the deep." I spoke. "True, her purpose was to help all unfortunate merfolk. As long as you could pay the price, she could transform you, help you find love, anything. If it was within her power, there wasn't anything she wouldn't do. They say her prices were pretty high, though." Ace explained, "That's what it costs for 'anything'." 'Poor Unfortunate Souls' is still one of my favorite Disney Villains songs. "Nyaa ha! So what you're saying is I can get rich if I become a great magician?! Then what about this man in the big hat?" Grim asked as we turn to see the statue of Jafar from Aladdin.

"That's Jafar. He's the Sorcerer of the Sand. He was a cunning vizier to a foolish sultan and saw through the fake prince, and you wanna know why?" I asked Grim, "Why?" Grim asked, "Because the prince was actually a steet rat trying to deceive the princess. Then he got a magic lamp and became the most powerful sorcerer of all! With that power, they say he became sultan." Ace explained. "Ho hoh! So, it is important for magicians to be the center of attention! Ooooh! This lady sure is beautiful!" Grim gasped as I turned to see the statue of the Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

"That's the Queen. She was known for her beauty where she would check the 'beauty ranks' in her magic mirror every single day to make sure she's the fairest of them all." I explained to Grim. "And when it looked like she might fall from the number one spot, she never hesitated to do anything to get it back. I guess she had the strong will to remain the most beautiful in the world. So, freaking amazing. They said she was even adept at making poisons." Ace said, "She's pretty but... no thanks..." "Yeah, I wouldn't go anywhere near her if I were you, Grim." I thought. "You think? But it's cool that she has something she'll never give up." "Your not wrong about that." I said unsure, "S-Sure, that single-minded drive is pretty cool. Over there, what's with the guy on fire? Just looking gives me goosebumps." Grim ask as I turn to see a statue of Hades from Hercules.

"That's the Lord of the Underworld, Hades." I said, "Hades?" Grim asked as He tilted his head curiously, "Yup, he rules a land crawling with evil spirits on his own. No doubt he is extremely skilled. Even though he's got a scary face, he did that detestable job without ever taking a vacation and his sincerity won over Cerberus, the hydra, even the titans, to fight for him." Ace explained. "Hhmm, hmmm. So having talent doesn't mean you get to be haughty. And the last one, with the horns?" Grim asked as I turn to see the last statue, Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, who is one of my favorite Disney Villains of all time.

"That's Maleficent." I spoke. "She's the Witch of Thorns from the Magic Mountains. Noble and elegant, even within the seven, she is top class in magic and curses!" Ace explained as I nodded in agreement, "Your right about that. She can summon lightning and storms, cover an entire country in thorns, her magic is on a whole other level. She can even transform herself into a huge awesome dragon." I added, making Grim to widen his eyes. "Ooh! A dragon! All monsters look up to them!" Grim gleed, "Yeah, dragons are awesome! They're one of my favorite mythical creatures! They're so cool." I said with a smile. "They're all so cool~... Unlike a certain raccoon." Huh?
