Hello and Welcome

[Nani Pelaki]

(January 9th. Open to non-reviewers for the first page, then reviewers can come in.)

Nani was surfing the internet. She knew her email didn't work since she's in another universe so she couldn't check that. So she had begun looking around. She heard one of the reviewers mention Youtube and she had gone to check surprised to see old tv shows and movies on there. She typed in Lilo and Stitch and found trailers of Stitch invading other films. So she began watching The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and finally the Aladdin trailer.

XXXX

Jasmine walked into the study hearing videos as she stopped seeing the last trailer.

"That never happened. I never met Stitch and certainly wouldn't leave Aladdin for him." said Jasmine.

XXXX

Nani turned glancing at Jasmine.

"It was one of the trailers to promote the film. I'm guessing that trailer's an alternate universe where you ran off with Stitch." said Nani.

XXXX

Jasmine nodded.

"I guess you're right. I hope that Stitch doesn't show up. I wouldn't want to hurt his feelings." said Jasmine.

She paused glancing back at the screen and then at Nani.

"Anything else on here?" asked Jasmine.

XXXX

Tender Heart Bear walked in spying the two girls as he joined them. He saw them on youtube seeing it had videos.

"Maybe we can see some reviews. You know Critic and the others. They said they review tv shows, games, and films." said Tender Heart.

XXXX

"That's a good idea. What should we start with?" said Nani.

XXXX

Queen Grimhilde was walking around hearing voices as she saw the two women and Tender Heart sitting at a computer. She walked in seeing the end of the video.

"It must be a modern Magic Mirror." thought Grimhilde.

She walked in addressing Nani.

"How about the first one the one I'm from?" said Queen Grimhilde.

She smiled as nani selected Nostalgia Critic's Disneycember review of Snow White. After the two minute intro the review began.

[blackberry]

Blackberry's leg was hurting her but yet it felt better than it had after the battle. She had walked in on the group watching something and, curous as to what they were looking at, joined them. As the Nostalgia Critic's voice spoke, she couldn't help looking at the Queen. She briefly wondered if she should say anything, then decided not to. She continued watching as the Critic talked about how Snow White was emotional. She didn't really see anything about it.

Rachel 's shoulder was healing and it was bandaged . She was curious of what the others are doing . Green beautiful eyes scanned everyone and Rach said in her sweet voice :"What are you doing there guys ?" Rachel asked. The spoiled woman was confused . Her brown hair with blonde stripes blew to her side as it almost covers her green eyes .

Rach sighed , she didn't know what to do now . The spoiled woman seemed to be confused right now . "Can I help you with something there ?" Rachel asked the others .

[Deleted]

Maleficent stepped down the stairs warily. She had spent the past two days holed up in her bedroom, sneaking food at night when everyone was asleep and tending to her own wounds, all in an attempt to avoid contact with the others on Critic's side. The fairy was still furious at being scolded by them and still had no idea why they had been angry with her. Enemies were enemies, and they needed to be dealt with by any means necessary. It was something she had always lived by, and she refused to change it now.

Now, however, she realized that her behavior was perhaps a bit childish, and Maleficent wouldn't stand for that. Hence the reason she was coming down - to be the better person, and to have everyone else see it.

Going down the hall, Maleficent spotted a small group consisting of Nani, Jasmine, Grimhilde, Blackberry, and Rachel huddled around what looked like a small television and went to join them. They appeared to be watching something. It looked like a movie, but she could hear the Critic's voice over the film. The fairy frowned.

"What's this?" she inquired, trying to hide her lingering annoyance towards Nani and Jasmine.

[Queen Grimhilde]

Queen Grimhilde turned seeing Blackberry and Maleficent arrive. She nodded to her.

"It's like a modern Magic Mirror or crystal ball. It's showing us the film I'm from." said Grimhilde.

Her attention turned back to the video as she was shown on the screen. She smiled watching it with interest.

XXXX

"We're doing alright Rachel. We're watching reviews. This one looks interesting." said Nani.

XXXX

Everyone remained speechless even as it was announced she sent her huntsman to kill her stepdaughter but he couldn't go through with it.

"I never should have trusted that fool. When you want something done right you have to do it yourself." said Grimhilde.

Before anyone could respond the video was now showing Grimhilde turning herself into an old woman to kill her. He then went into talking about each character talking about Snow White in detail, then the dwarfs, and the animation. But then he talked about her again.

"The Queen as a villain when you analyze it is a pretty boring villain. She doesn't say much. She doesn't do much. Just a really vain woman is nothing that fascinating in a kid's film. But what keeps her enjoyable is the animation. She's just drawn great. I mean she has this permanent frown on her face. I'm trying to think if I've saw her smile in the film. Of course the design of her after the transformation is just awesome. It used to scare the crap out of me when I was a little kid."

Queen Grimhilde was furious listening to it.

"He thinks I'm boring!" said Queen Grimhilde.

She turned away determined to confront the Critic but stopped to at least watch the rest of it. But he was just reviewing the film itself.

"He didn't even mention I poisoned her or how the dwarfs chased me off that cliff. And how I nearly killed them if it wasn't for that storm. That's it. No one calls me boring!" said Queen Grimhilde.

She turned and stormed to the door but was stopped by Tender Heart.

XXXX

"Wait. This isn't the right thing to do." said Tender Heart.

XXXX

Queen Grimhilde paused and let out a small chuckle.

"Right? I'm a villain. I've only joined this group to return home. Not to do the right thing. Now get out of my way." said Queen Grimhilde.

XXXX

Tender Heart wouldn't relent tempted to use his Care Bear Stare if necessary.

"Not until you calm down. Why don't we watch some more reviews." said Tender Heart.

XXXX

Jasmine glanced at Nani and Rachel nervously. With two villains here they didn't need to anger them both after Critic especially while he was recovering.

"Any ideas what to watch?" she asked.

[Deleted]

"Oh okay cool ." Rachel said as she looked at Nani and then she looked at the computer watching other reviews . Her green beautiful eyes blinked twice . The spoiled woman didn't know what to say but she was watching revivews with her allies . Rach sighed and looked at the celling . Rachel didn't know what to do . So she gave a sweet smile from her lips and returned to watch more revivews .

[Deleted]

Maleficent nodded at Grimhilde’s words, hiding a smirk at the other woman’s naïveté. A modern Magic Mirror or crystal ball indeed. True, Maleficent herself wasn’t entirely sure what this was, but at least she knew that it wasn’t one of those things. She didn’t comment on this, however, opting instead to listen quietly to the rest of the review. Things quickly took a turn for the worse when the Critic dismissed Grimhilde as boring. The queen, understandably, was not happy with this and rushed off to confront him. Maleficent rolled her eyes and followed after her, catching up when Tender Heart stopped her at the door. Giving the Care Bear a haughty look, the fairy laid a hand on Grimhilde’s shoulder.

“Calm yourself, Grimhilde,” she chided just loud enough for the others to hear her. “We have more important things to deal with.” Lowering her voice, she whispered into the queen’s ear, “Don’t worry. You’ll have your revenge. I’ll assist, if necessary.

“Now,” Maleficent raised her voice again. “Why don’t I pick our next review?”

Without waiting for an answer – she doubted Nani and Jasmine would object, considering how worried they seemed about angering her and Grimhilde, something which amused the fairy somewhat – she strode back to the computer and commandeered the mouse from Nani. A few clicks brought her to a list of the Nostalgia Critic’s videos. One of them looked promising – Top 11 Disney Villains. She was a Disney villain, was she not? She would be number one, of course, but it would be amusing to see the runners up.

Confident in her assumed ranking, Maleficent clicked on the video. The lowest-ranked villain was Cruella De Vil, a name Maleficent recognized from Patch. She raised an eyebrow – the woman looked more like an unmade bed than a viable threat. Perhaps it had something to do with differing points of view. The fairy shrugged it off and looked at the next villain – Jafar.

“Ah, so this is the Jafar who gave you so much trouble.”

She spared a glance at Jasmine before returning her attention to the screen. The princess had been correct – there were many similarities between herself and Jafar, from their physical appearances to their preferred henchmen. It was fascinating. The Critic, however, seemed to be torn, simultaneously praising and insulting him.

“He also takes on a lot of different forms. You see him as a wizard, you see him as an old man, you see him as a snake, you see him as a genie –”

Suddenly, the image on the screen changed from Jafar’s various forms to Jasmine kissing him.

“– and you even see him at one point as a straight guy!”

Maleficent blinked. For a moment, she was unsure how to respond to this. Once she recovered, however, it became clear. Feeling her dark lips curl into a smirk, she turned back to Jasmine.

“Odd. I don’t recall you mentioning that.”

[blackberry]

"The Critic is about to enter the land of the dead" Blackberry merely muttered it as Queen Grimhilde and Maleficent conversed. She turned back to video, which had moved on to Shere Kahn. She uttered a rabbit swear word at the size of it. There were a lot of things about the world she didn't understand, but big cats were defiantly something to be avoided. She watched as Ratigan, Ursula and Gaston passed on.

[Nani Pelaki]

Nani nodded as Maleficent chose the next video. She'd done a better job at calming the queen although she was nervous what they were whispering about. She couldn't really blame her. If someone had called her boring she'd be angry too. Her attention focused on the video as it counted down the villains. When it got to Jafar she gave Jasmine a curious look but Maleficent already questioned her first.

XXXX

"I try to forget that part. He stole Aladdin's genie, took over my kingdom, and enslaved my father and me. I only kissed him as a distraction. Aladdin almost got the lamp but then he saw him in the reflection on my crown I was wearing. Aladdin and Jafar got into a fight and eventually tricked him into becoming a genie. I regret doing that as it didn't help any of us only distracted him for a few seconds." said Jasmine.

XXXX

Grimhilde nodded to Maleficent calming down. The idea of double-teaming him sounded fun. She hadn't really had another villain around to talk to aside from her raven familiar she'd left at her castle. She turned watching the video seeing Jasmine kiss Jafar. If it had worked who knows what would have happened. The list kept moving along as she saw other villains.

"I wonder if we'll meet any of them here. It would be useful to have more sorcerers on our side." said Queen Grimhilde.

She paused as it got to Gaston and she pitied him as he had fallen down a cliff just like her.

"She had the town hero, a man every girl wanted in love with her. And she chose a monster over him. She just got lucky his curse was breakable." thought Queen Grimhilde.

[Deleted]

“Really? Surely you could have found another way to ‘distract’ him?”

Maleficent’s tone was light and teasing, a great departure from how she usually spoke. While some people might have taken this as casual banter between acquaintances, in reality the fairy was testing the waters, so to speak, trying to figure out if Jasmine was still annoyed with her and if she was willing to forget about what had happened two days prior. While Maleficent couldn’t say the same for herself and would probably never acknowledge that she might be wrong, she would be willing to act as though the “disagreement” had never taken place.

“I don’t know,” she remarked to Grimhilde. “And even if we do, I doubt that they would be on our side, unless they realize that Ask ThatGuy will enslave them.”

Maleficent turned back to the computer screen and watched the other villains. She was quite impressed – from the way the Critic talked about them, they seemed to be remarkable villains. A particular interest was reserved for a woman called Lady Tremaine – something about her felt very familiar to Maleficent, even though she was certain she had never before seen the woman.

Finally, there came the time to list the second place villain. Maleficent drank it in, eager to know who her runner-up had been.

“Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty.”

“WHAT?”

[Queen Grimhilde]

"I wasn't thinking. I just acted. I kind of wish I had thought of another way now." said Jasmine.

She was surprised at the tone wondering if Maleficent was trying to be friends with her or mocking her. She turned her attention back on the review as it counted down to Maleficent as she saw her reaction. Two angry villainesses and an injured Critic. She was tempted to run out the door to warn him but she doubt she'd get very far.

XXXX

Nani nodded realizing Jasmine had acted on impulse. She'd done similar things on impulse like asking Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley to help rescue Lilo from Gantu. As the review counted down to Maleficent she too was silent watching Maleficent's reaction from afar not sure what to say.

XXXX

Tender Heart saw the situation had resolved itself until Maleficent began to get angry. He was beginning to doubt his Care Bear Stare would work on either villain and they both seemed a bit angry. Hopefully Critic would be prepared or not be alone at least.

XXXX

Queen Grimhilde watched the review stopping on Lady Tremaine glancing at Maleficent.

"How peculiar. She looks a lot like you. Curious." said Queen Grimhilde.

She paused as it reached Maleficent's name on the counter as Nostalgia Critic chose her for his second place. Queen Grimhilde frowned. He called her boring and now gave Maleficent the # 2 spot.

"Still think it's a time to be calm? He's insulted both of us now. We both deserve an apology at the very least and maybe a bit more." said Queen Grimhilde.

(ooc: open to everyone on the critic's side now xd).

[Deleted]

At first, Maleficent was far too angry to respond to either the queen or the princess. With narrowed eyes and clenched fists, she forced herself to focus all of her attention on the still-playing video. Who could the Critic think could possibly be better than her? Maleficent saw his choice, and she wasn't impressed.

How could he think a creature that can be defeated by something as pitiful as sunlight and the sound of church bells is superior to me? Pathetic, that's what that is. I needed to be stopped with an enchanted sword.

Only then did she focus on what Grimhilde was saying.

"Oh, we deserve far more than a mere apology," Maleficent hissed, grasping her staff so tightly that her knuckles turned white. A wicked smile crossed her face. "And we shall have it."

The fairy turned and started up the stairs.

"CRITIC!"

[Queen Grimhilde]

Queen Grimhilde smiled and soon followed Maleficent out the door and up the stairs.

"CRITIC! We'd like a word with you!" shouted Grimhilde.

XXXX

Nani turned and bolted from the room trying to stop them. Jasmine and Tender Heart quickly followed hoping to stop a disaster.

XXXX

Upstairs Roses turned hearing two people shout for Critic and they didn't sound happy. She then recognized them as Maleficent and Queen Grimhilde. She turned and ran out of the room and knocking on doors hoping to get someone's help.

"I wonder what they're angry about." thought Roses.

[Linkara]

Linkara raced upstairs as he heard Grimhilde scream. He looked in and saw Blackberry and Rachel standing around the laptop. "What happened?" He was terrified for the Critic, but was also strangely intrigued by what was going on.

....

"Maleficent is annoyed that she is only number two on Critic's Top 11 Villains list. Grimhilde is annoyed because in something called Disneycember, he called her boring and not very fascinating. He's doomed" Blackberry spoke with absolute conviction. She didn't like to admit it, but they would need a new leader. There wasn't going to be enough parts to put him back together.

...

Linkara groaned "Critic! Why does he always make the biggest cock ups since General Custer? You are right. He's doomed." He ran out to try and stop the two villainesses, Blackberry followed.

[Deleted]

Maleficent smirked, her own vengeful feelings strengthened by Grimhilde’s battle cry. Already, she could feel the power begin to pulse within her staff as the lightning readied itself to strike. This was going to be good.

The villainesses’ calls were answered, not by Critic, but Linkara. Upon hearing his voice, Maleficent paused and turned around, a dark smile making its way across her angular face. She had been able to intimidate him in the past and was hoping that this would “persuade” the comic book reviewer to aid her and Grimhilde in their quest.

“Ah, Linkara. How nice of you to join us.” She took a step forward. “Grimhilde and I wish to, ah, discuss something with the Nostalgia Critic. It’s quite an urgent matter, you see. Would you happen to know where we could find him?”

One red-painted fingernail tapped the glowing orb of her staff, a not-so-subtle hint at what would happen should Linkara refuse to tell them.
