It all began in another time, another world! A world of magic and monsters, of wizards and brave heroes who fought the forces of darkness to the very end! Our story begins in a small village named Miceland, where a young sorcerer in training is about to embark on a big adventure and a strange new ally along the way!

"Runnnnnnnn!" Came the scream of the villager as he bolted out of the field, followed by a number of others, behind them lurked horrible and misshapen turnips, which had been brought to life by a magic spell... A magic spell that had gone horribly wrong, that was. The culprit, a young mouse named Mickey, stood rooted to the spot as he stared at his mistake with horror, "Uh-oh." Was the only thing he was able to say, "This is not what I meant when I said I wanted a larger crop!" Cried another, narrowly avoided the hand of one of the turnips, which snarled in an angry manner. The mutated vegetables turned and suddenly began to advance on Mickey, "Um... I... I think something went wrong with that spell!!" He stammered aloud, holding up his staff and bracing himself for an attack. Suddenly, there was a loud bang as a lightning bolt struck the turnips, evaporating them into dust. Mickey opened one eye to see the dusty remains of his spell on the ground, "In trouble again, are we Mickey?" Asked a wise old voice, the young mouse turned to see his master Nereus standing over him, Mickey's face sank with guilt at the sight. "Haven't I warned you about using powerful magic before you graduate your sorcery apprenticeship?" Nereus asked, "Yes sir." Mickey said, not hiding the obvious guilt in his voice. "But I was trying to help, I swear! The crops weren't growing due to the shortage of rain and..." Mickey started to say before he was cut off by his master, "Mickey, being a great sorcerer is knowing when and where to use magic and when not to use it! When the time is right, I will bring rain to the village!" Nereus replied as they walked towards the centre of the village, "Using the Diamagic, Master Nereus??" Mickey asked, following him. "Yes." Nereus said as he pointed the glowing blue crystal that sat in the centre of a stone structure.

"Ah... The Diamagic, our magic crystal that controls the rainfall! But that will have to wait until I get back!" Nereus added, waving his hand and summoning a horse, "There is something wrong and I am urgently needed at the great Bukara library!" He added before getting onto his horse. "Until then, I leave the diamagic in your care!". Mickey watched the wise sorcerer leave the village, "Wow, will I be a great sorcerer like he is?" The young apprentice thought to himself, but his thoughts were interrupted when another horse arrived, carrying a rather large fellow, "Ah! At last, I have travelled very long and hard! And I don't believe my eyes!" He said, dismounting his horse, "I have finally found the great sorcerer of Miceland!" He added, Mickey looked around for a second before turning back to him, "W... Who? Me?" Mickey asked, pointing to himself. "Yes! I can tell by your magic wand and kind eyes!" The stranger replied, "W... Well, I have been told I have kind eyes." Mickey stammered, a bit flattered by the compliment. "Of course you have! In fact, you're renowned the world over for your generous spirit! Indeed! That means you'll let me borrow the Diamagic!" The stranger added before Mickey could even reply. "Hold on there pal, no one can use the Diamagic without Master Nereus' permission and he's not here right now!" Mickey quickly cut in, unbeknownst to him, he was being watched by two mysterious figures from a nearby rooftop. "Perfect, just as master predicted..." Said one, "Indeed and soon it will be time to strike." Replied the other. Suddenly, Mickey's dog Pluto ran by, covered in water, "Pluto, why are you soaking?" Mickey asked, confused. "Hey you stupid dog! That was the only water I had left!" Cried an angry villager.

"What's the matter? Aren't you going to use the Diamagic to help your village?" The stranger asked, "Him? He's not the village wizard, he's a walking disaster who can't even conjure a puddle!" Said a villager, they all started to laugh loudly. Mickey grumbled, "Hahahaha! Compared to me, Pete the magnificent, you'll always be a half pint!" Said Pete. "I'll show you! I'll show you all that I'm a great sorcerer!" Mickey finally said as he stormed over to the Diamagic and pulled it out, Pete grinned to himself, everything was going to plan. "I'll show you!! LU-RAIN FO!" Mickey cried out, holding up the crystal in the air. Energy shot out of the crystal and hit the clouds, which grew dark and began to rumble, all of a sudden, rain poured down. "Hooray, he did it! Hooray for the rain!" Said the villagers. But before anyone could do anything, a bolt of lightning shot out of nowhere and hit Mickey, the force sent him tumbling to the ground and caused the Diamagic to fly through the air... Into the armoured hand of one of the figures. "Thanks for the present squirt... But I fear your time is up!"

Well, it's the start of a new story based on my own characters and one of the best Disney comics ever, at least in my opinion! If you've never read Wizards of Mickey, I definitely recommend it! Especially the second story arc of the series, as they have the guts to do something I don't think the main Disney company itself has ever done with their main mascot!
