Chapter 9: New Follower of Sauron

Danny and Ryan enter the next area, hearing screams from an edge nearby. Upon arrival, they saw horrifying sights: there are children, mostly likely some of them are from the Muppets Village, being forced to work while being hurt by the minions of Voldemort who is whipping them like mad. Obviously, the Dark Wizard wants them to find the final stone.
"Get to work, slaves, get going!" A Death Eater snaps furiously at the slaves.
A huge monster known as Sweetums frowns as he shouts angrily at a child on the ground who is beginning. The monster just kicks him, using a whip to whip the poor child, much to the horror of Danny and Ryan. Those monsters!
"Danny, we must do something." Ryan said to Danny seriously. "I can't let these monsters do that to these poor kids."
"He's right. We got to work together to put an end to this madness." Danny said sternly as his hands glow. The halfa cannot allow these creeps to work these poor kids into slaving away as if not people!
Danny fires an ecto blast at Sweetums, making him yelp and turns around, seeing the two heroes, ready to fight. The other minions and slaves stop what they're doing, seeing the heroes as the child who was whipped quickly hid to escape.
"You got a couple of minutes to release these kids before we end up going medieval on your butts!" Ryan exclaims to the bad guys, swinging his sword around.
Sweetums shouts at the guards who begin to surround the heroes. Danny was preparing to attack but one of the wizards fire a blast at him, causing the halfa to change back to normal. Danny tries to change back but couldn't. That spell must've disabled his halfa powers. Ryan was preparing to help but got knocked down by more of the guards; some of them point their weapons at the captive brothers.
"Yeah, we didn't think this through." Ryan said with a frown, realizing that he and Danny probably should've thought this idea to free the children through.

Lilo and Stitch finds themselves in a cell, watching the kids keep on working. Not good. It wouldn't be long before Voldemort and his pals forced them both to work as well.
"Geez, what else can go wrong?" Stitch groans a bit in despair, wearing chains that kept his own powers in check. The alien hears shouting. "Stitch had to ask."
"Hey, look." Lilo said. She and Stitch gasps upon seeing Danny and Ryan, held by the guard, being taken to the cell which opens up before the two were tossed in and chained up. Lilo gasps as she hugs Danny who sighs, "Guys!"
"Looks like your rescue plan's a dud, huh?"
Suddenly the four saw someone nearby who's groaning. It is a boy with blonde hair, a round face, a sweater and black pants. His name was Neville Longbottom.
"Please let me die." Neville sobs a bit much to the worry of the prisoners. "I prayed to the Gods to let me die but I can't. Now please, let Sauron take me."
"How," Lilo asks Neville in concern.
"They want to make me drink the blood of Sauron...then I will fell into the black sleep of that monster."
"What does that mean?" Danny ask, getting a bad feeling as to what's Neville's talking about.
"I become like them...a follower of Sauron but a slave." Neville explains, making some of the others gasps in alarm and fear.
"As in being brainwashed, right?" Ryan asks Neville with a frown.
"Yes, I will be alive but it's like living in a nightmare. Once you drink the blood, you will never wake up from the nightmare of Sauron ever."
The group looks worried. If Voldemort doesn't kill the gang, he will most likely brainwash them to be followers of Sauron!

Voldemort smirks cruelly as he saw Danny, Ryan, Lilo and Stitch struggling while being tied up. The Dark Wizard has wicked plans for these intruders. The kid and her 'dog' will be slaves to dig for stones. The adults on the other hand...
Voldemort spoke in a cackling like voice, "Greetings, Dr. Daniel Fenton and King Ryan. Do you know who I am?"
"Voldemort," Ryan said to Voldemort who drew his wand and held it at his throat.
"That's LORD Voldemort to you, Narnian or Middle Earth or whatever you are!"
Ryan annoyed snaps at Voldemort, "Get that toothpick out of my face."
"First of all, it's a wand." Voldemort points out of Ryan, annoyed with the king's lack of respect for his wand and towards the Dark Wizard. "Second, it's not in your face it's in my hand."
"Then get what's in your hand out of my face."
"Very well; do you two know what you were trying to do?"
"Trying to return one of the stones to a certain village that you and your...beasts stole from," Ryan answers Voldemort bitterly and sternly. Even the Death Eaters would know the real reason why the brothers were trying to steal the stones which are now back in evil's hands.
"Close enough." Voldemort remarks with a nod while putting his wand away. "There were five stones in the beginning. Over the centuries, they have been raided, stolen and sold off by thieves like you two."
"Thieves like us? Ha!" Danny laughs as if Voldemort had stolen he most lamest joke in the world. "So tell me, Voldemort, why have you got these slaves digging in the mines? This isn't the Mines of Moria. You'll never find Mithril in there."
"Actually, we are digging for Mithril but also for something very important. A century ago, when the Narnians and their allies raided this temple and butchered my people, a loyal priest hid the last two stones here in the catacombs.
"You mean...?" Ryan asks as he realizes what Voldemort is forcing the kids to mine for.
"Yes...the slaves dig for Mithril to aid our cause and to find the last stones." Voldemort explains with a wicked laugh. "Soon we will have all five of the great stones, then we Death Eaters will be all powerful and take our revenge of Narnia and Middle Earth."
"Ha! Even if you tried, you'll never take down the Narnians and people of Middle Earth without a fight."
"Yeah, what a vivid imagination," Danny remarks as he agrees with Ryan's POV.
"So you say that you don't believe me?" Voldemort ask Danny with an evil hiss and a cruel smile on his face.
"Not at all."
"Oh, you will Dr. Fenton. You will become a true believer."
"Well you won't convert me, Voldemort." Ryan snaps to the Dark Wizard in defiance. There's no way in heck that this monster will convert this Narnian and king of Middle Earth to the side of Sauron!
"I don't plan to, Ryan. What I plan is...to kill you, just like your father." Voldemort said slowly and darkly while holding his wand up once more. Ryan's eyes widen in shock and as if a dark revelation had been revealed to him.
"You...killed my family?"
"Oh yes; just as your great-grandfather killed almost all the Death Eaters...Avada Kedavra!"
"No!" Danny and Lilo screams in horror as Voldemort fires the spell right at Ryan in hopes to kill him like the man's great-grandfather had killed the Death Eaters.
But as the killing curse hit Ryan, instead of killing him, it made him chuckle, "Ha ha ha ha."
"What's this? Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort yells out in shock and fury as he fires the same spell, but it just made Ryan laugh some more.
Ryan kept on laughing, "Stop it! Stop it! I'm gonna pee!"
"This is impossible! The killing curse is supposed to kill, not tickle."
"That's because we Narnians have developed a resistance to the effects of the imperious curse, torture curse and killing curse. So compared to dying by a sword or bladed weapon, the unforgivable curses are like a tickle to us."
Voldemort is furious, his killing curse is useless! Well, may as well do something that can really kill Ryan. The Dark Wizard spoke, "Very well. If I can't kill you with my magic, then perhaps...I will make you suffer, by letting you watch me convert your adopted brother into one of us."
Danny and Ryan chuckles nervously. Soon the door opens up as Sweetums came in, giving a glare to the tied heroes. Then Wooldoor came in, carrying a skull which he gave to Voldemort. The others saw him a dazed look. That explains a lot. The new Maharajah was forced to drink the blood of Sauron, he is brainwashed as well!
Danny was the first to be grabbed, grunting as Voldemort chants wickedly. Sweetums begins pouring the blood right into his mouth, much to the others' horror. If he drinks that all the way, Danny will be one of them without a choice!
"Danny, no," Ryan exclaims to Danny in worry.
"Don't drink the blood, please! Don't drink it!" Lilo calls out to Danny as the blood was finished pouring into his mouth.
"Will you spit it out, stupid?!" Stitch snaps to Danny.
Sure enough, Danny quickly spit the blood right into the guards' eyes, much to their anger. Voldemort frowns as he snaps to Wooldoor, "Wooldoor, hold him!"
Dazed and obediently, Wooldoor came over and took out a plush of Danny, leaning it towards the fire. The others gasp as Danny screams in pain without anyone hurting him. That doll that the sockbat's holding is a voodoo one! Lilo screams out, "Dr. Fenton, no! Don't burn him!"
Danny manages to get his arm freed and smacks Wooldoor, causing the sockbat to drop the barely burned plush to hit the ground. As Wooldoor got back up, Voldemort shouted in Parseltongue while the halfa punch other foes but the guards quickly hold him back. Ryan looks horrified as Sweetums took out a whip just as Wooldoor manages to recover the Danny plush.
"You will learn never to do that again." Voldemort hissed evilly then he spokes Parseltongue to Sweetums as the candles were about to burn off.
Danny was forced to be turned around as he yelps while Sweetums whipped him in the back hard. The others were also turned around. Lilo and Stitch screams in pain as the guards, Wormtail and Wooldoor whips them like mad. Ryan manages to endure the pain, doing his best not to scream at all.
"Looks like the king of Middle Earth is no stranger to pain," Wormtail said, noting how Ryan isn't screaming from the whipping at all.
"I'd dealt with worst, jerk!" Ryan snaps, only to get whipped once more.
Once it's satisfied that Danny won't be able to try to resist again, the ritual continues again as Danny was forced to swallowed the blood. With his halfa powers still disabled and him too whipped to do anything else, there's nothing to keep him from swallowing the blood of Sauron this time.
"Sauron will soon rule the world." Voldemort said wickedly as Danny coughs a bit. The others look worried.
"Danny..." Lilo said with a gulp. What will happen now?
Danny was put onto the sacrificing table. He gasps and twitch, screaming in pain and anger while looking at the candles. The halfa is trying his best to resist but his will and mind appears to be slipping away. Danny twitches some more before he stops. To his friends' horror, Danny slowly put his arms and begins to laugh...insanely!
Whatever he wants to or not, Danny is now a follower of Sauron, brainwashed big time.

Author's note
No! Danny is brainwashed! This isn't good! In the next chapter, Kim is going to be sacrificed. And Danny brainwashed, it's up to Ryan, Lilo and Stitch to snap him out of it somehow. Read, review and suggest.

Ryan's immunity to the curses has a reference to 'Kung Fu Panda'.
