Candle Man's War Story

**Candle Man's War Story**, originally known as **Botuczy's War Story**, is a movie that was released on 1 December 2020. It has a spin-off series called, *Candle Man & Friends*, which was made to flesh out the characters who were seen in the movie.

## Synopsis

UCP has come to wreck the town of Wikia as we know it. But luckily, a candle, a shadow duck, a dog, and a goddess are going at a war against him!

## Plot

The movie begins with Satan cooking for his family when grease from his frying pan accidentally creates a monster called UCP, UCP falls onto Earth, along with a frying pan that falls much later, and wants to reign terror on Wikia. Candle Man, Mystic, Shaduck and Limefong go to the Wikia Castle as people seem to be rushing over there, when they get there the King and Queen make an announcement, it is that MediaWiki, what holds Wikia together, is going to be upgraded, after not being upgraded for a long period of time. The honours would go to UCP, who all do not know is evil and takes Wanda, a power source that would be used to upgrade MediaWiki, but UCP uses Wanda for his own evil plans and transfers it's power to a hypno gun that can hypnotize a being with a single blast. Candle Man soon learns of this and goes to warn everyone.

Candle Man tells his friends but it is too late as the King and Queen of Wikia become hypnotized, Candle Man then discovers that he has the ability to de-hypnotize anyone. A battle begins as UCP starts hypnotizing anyone in sight, whilst Candle Man de-hypnotizes them again. Mystic realises that her group, The Mystic Stars, will be needed in this battle as they possess elemental powers that have been passed down from her that would help. Whilst protecting his friends with a fire wall, the frying pan from many years ago falls into Candle Man's hands as he uses it for combat.

UCP escapes the scene and Candle Man attempts to begin chase but Mystic stops him as she thinks it would be a good time to introduce The Mystic Stars to Shaduck and Limefong, as they had any seen them in the battle, and only Candle Man has met them in full. Shaduck and the rest reluctantly agree but to a conditional quick introduction. After the introduction, Mystic claims she knows the whereabouts of UCP and says they'll have to take the TVland portal, after arriving, they notice a old TV, which sucks them in after a attempt to turn it off.

In the realm, they begin to unusually change forms and go through many different stages, in one stage they represent paper, in the other Luna has now access freedom of speech as well as the ability to fly, which turns out that she had gotten from the old TV. Darwin then chops a tree down, the Candle Friends are confused as of why until they realise UCP had been able to hypnotize him. Darwin runs away to a mountain where UCP is and the rest find them and de-hypnotize Darwin. Mystic then disappears right when a blizzard starts forming by the re-hypnotized Darwin and brings her cousin, Ribbon, who's wand throws UCP off the mountain. After getting dehypnotized from Candle Man and appears embarrassed by what he caused, Darwin leaves the group once again, leaving the group to follow him as Ribbon stays behind to clean up the mess.

Meanwhile in Candleville, Candle Man's hometown, Darwin is seen in the middle of the destruction that had occured prior, UCP tells him that Candle Man never knew about how it was him that caused the destruction of his home. Overhearing this and believing him for being dead are Candle Man's parents and his younger sister Candle Girl, to which the rest of the group arrives during this conversation. Candle Man, overjoyed that he didn't loose his family, reunites with them, but more issues start when Candle Man's parents start questioning about if Candle Man got himself a girlfriend behind their back. After trying to deny it and getting proof about him and Mystic being a couple shown to his parents, Candle Man defends him and Mystic as he believes that his parents shouldn't be in charge whenever or not Candle Man gets a crush.
