Legend of Smurfy Hollow (Hero Stories)/Part 4

"Do you even know where you're going?" Gargamel asked Azrael.

Gargamel soon spotted a cage, "Aha! Ha! Hello, Smurfs! Wait! I thought you said there were 3 Smurfs, go look for the other two," he said, before he turned back towards the cage and noticed the Smurf that was still in the cage, "Why hello, my dear daughter! Finally we meet again, I always knew you would return to me someday, Ha! Ha! Ha!"

"You know there this magical new device called a toothbrush," Smurfette said holding her nose.

"My grooming is perfect in almost every way possible, thank you very much," Gargamel said, as he opened the cage to grab Smurfette.

"Hey, Gargasmell!" Fergus called out.

"There's a nose on your wart," Brainy said.

"Why you little..." Gargamel said, before Fergus let go of a tree, hitting Gargamel in the face.

"Smurfette! Come on, now's your chance," Fergus shouted.

Smurfette climbed out of the cage and climbed the rope up to the tree.

"Come here," Gargamel said as he ran after Brainy and Fergus and he soon had them in his clutches, but they sneaked up his sleeves and began to tickle him.

"Hey" Stop that, I'm horribly ticklish," Gargamel laughed.

Smurfette climbed up to the tree and ran along the branch, but ran into Azrael, so she decided to drop down from the tree. She soon saw Gargamel fling Fergus and Brainy towards her.

"What do we do now?" Smurfette asked.

"I think we might be done here," Fergus said.

"Goodbye! It was an honor smurfing with you," Brainy said, as Gargamel prepared to pounce.

Soon the sound of a horse could be heard, they all looked up in fear and seen a headless green figure on a horse.

"Azrael! What is that?" Gargamel asked.

Azrael jumped on his back and told him what it was.

"What's a hairless horseman?" Gargamel asked.

Azrael corrected him.

"Oh, headless... HEADLESS!" Gargamel shouted before running away in fear.

"Crikey, he really does exist," Fergus said, as he Brainy and Smurfette ran for their lives.

The Headless Horseman pursued after them.

"Wizards and children first," Gargamel said as he ran.

Smurfette screamed, "He's gaining on us! We're doomed!" she asked.

"No we're not! The legend says that the horseman is trapped in the Hollow," Brainy said.

"Since when did you believe in legends?" Fergus asked.

"Since he started chasing me with flaming pumpkins!" Brainy said.

"So what you're saying..." Smurfette said.

"If we can get to the bridge, we'll be safe," Brainy said.

"Brilliant! You're a genious!" Fergus said.

"We're never gonna make it!" Smurfette said.

"Yes we will! But we need better transportation," Brainy said.

"I've got you, laddie!" Fergus said as he jumped onto a bat, "Come on, climb aboard the red eye,"

Both Brainy and Smurfette grabbed onto the bat and climbed aboard, the bat flew into the air and crashed into the roof of the bridge. The smurfs watched from the roof as Gargamel and Azrael ran onto the bridge, but the Headless Horseman was stopped by the magical forcefield.

"We did it!" Brainy cheered.

"Azrael, look! He can exit the Hollow," Gargamel said, "What's the matter? scared? Oh, I'm such a tough ghost, I can't even cross a tiny, wittle bridge," he said mockingly. He soon spotted the horseman holding a flaming pumpkin in his hand.

"What's that for?" Gargamel asked.

The Headless Horseman threw the pumpkin towards Gargamel, causing the wooden floor to give way, causing him to fall into the rushing river, Azrael hung onto a wooden board, but it too gave way and he fell into the rushing river. He jumped out of the water and clinged to Gargamel's head.

"Let go of me! Get off you mindless furball!" Gargamel said as he tried to get Azrael off his head.

Azrael warned him about something up ahead.

"What? What is a waterball?" he asked, before he realized he meant waterfall.

"Oh!" Gargamel said, before they fell down the waterfall, "Azrael! Are you dead?" he asked.

Azrael muttered his answer.
