Prologue 1:
"Huepow, Huepow!?"
The queen of the Moon Kingdom yelled unto the vast hallways of the castle. It's almost time… this has been happening for a while now. She opened one of the biggest doors in the castle revealing a vast archive of books and scrolls if one looks above you'd see countless stars but for some reason, one lone chandelier stood suspended above seemingly that the chains supporting it was as if held by nothingness. Whoever was the one that built the ancient library was surely praised for his talent.
In the middle was a wide table adorned with strange knick and knacks populated with maps, books, tomes both opened in complicated pages and the unread, and a certain prince reading scrolls of ancient prophesy.
The queen walked nearer to the center of the great library, looking at the prince "You have been spending to much time here son."
"What is it mother?" The prince replied without looking back at the queen.
The queen just sighed and gave her usual answer. "It's that presence again. This has been going on for weeks now." And she looked at her son with suspicion.
"Nothing new then?"
Finally she couldn't take it and said her mind out on her son. "Just tell me Huepow, I know that you have an idea on whatever it is that's happening right now."
The prince just smiled and for the first time that night looked at her mother "I guess I do." The two suddenly sensed the presence once again and looked at the same direction. In a far end of the library was an open window where the energy of gathering dreams taking form can be clearly seen.
Huepow once again looked at his mother and stated what he knew.
"This happens almost at the same time everyday. I'm not sure who it is but someone out there is being haunted in his dreams. What's strange is that it looks like it's from a different world yet the presence is quite strong. Something dark is starting to wake and by the look of things it's already going on whatever it plans. It will not only affect the dream world it belongs to but it will tear apart the real world of whoever the dreamer is. Soon the host will not be able to maintain it, it will take over the mind of whoever the host is and soon it will escape into reality and then…"
Her mother clenched her fist and braced for her son's words. "… It might be something stronger than Nahatomb…" and that moment, the castle suddenly shook as a dark energy scattered through the castle. "… and it's already affecting the other worlds."
He stood up and walked nearer to his mother and bowed down "I want to go there, mother this has to be dealt with and the earlier the better, as prince of the moon kingdom I have to do what I can to help. Please mother, I need your permission."
The queen reached her hand towards the prince and with a smile said "Stand up son," and using her hand as support, he did. "That's just an excuse, isn't it Huepow?"
Huepow gazed his attention to the left, a clear proof that his mother was correct. "It's Klonoa right?" She smiled and gave her son a big hug. "Once our priests trace the source, I guess I can open a portal for you."
He broke the hug and his happy self returned. "Actually mother, I already know where" which was much to her mother's surprise. "You've been working hard, haven't you Huepow?"
He walked back to the scrolls he was reading and grabbed it, walking near his mother once more "According to this prophecy it's in a world called Mobius." But then the queen was puzzled at what she heard. "Son, there's more than one Mobius."
The expression on the face of the prince turned serious as he made his reply to the queen "Well you see mother, whatever that presence is… it has already corrupted the fundamentals of the world it belongs to. The balance is shifting and it's beginning to merge with the other dimensions occupying the same space, which is coincidentally all the other Mobius as well."
"Then I guess my little boy is growing up then…"
Prologue 2:
No matter where you look it's all pure nothingness, undeniably this is all an orange echidna could see, and she was dreaming. She was walking in nothingness, the darkness enveloping around her and yet… she can see herself clearly.
Just darkness, no matter how far she walked all that there was, was simply darkness. Countless times she tried to wake up yet to no avail, she saw herself fall on her feet and stagger yet still it was undeniable. There was no escape to this darkness.
But then she recalled, for she was only a spirit, and has been one for countless moons. In all that time, she could not say that she actually slept, for it was more of a unbreakable waiting. So then she thought to herself "If this is not a dream then what is it? A vision?" it was then that right in front an altar appeared.
She ran there with all her might hearing the echoes of her own breath and steps as she came nearer. A closer look reveals that the altar is that of the Chao. She climbed the steps and made her way to the center and she saw a tablet of old. It was written in a strange language yet for some reason she read it with utmost fluency.
Darkness shall envelop the world and bring Chaos along
It shall leave evil and malice to the hearts of all it reaches
And the laws of time and space shall be destroyed
One after another the birds shall fall, the fish shall sink
The earth will decay and the sky shall break
But before the last hour of diminished hope
Out of the last bits of good shall come
the seven colors of the breaking sky
Along with it the remnants of light, the shadow
And the forgotten twilight shall diminish the
existence of the darkness for the rest of eons
And at that moment the echidna woke from this trance. Something is coming and she knows it now. She appears out of the Master Emerald and searches for the protector of the Floating Island, all in the while yelling his name onto the lush greens of the said place.
"Knuckles! Where are you!?"
She could have continued this search if not only that she saw out of the corner of her eye something that did not belong. She saw an orange biplane, something she has seen before. It was the Tornado 2 and no doubt in her mind that a certain two tailed fox has landed on the island. She ran off to the plane and found the golden fox on the cockpit.
"Hey, hi there Tikal!"
She looked at the fox without hiding the worry on her face and asked her question. "Have you seen Knuckles?" and the fox, before he could even utter a word was cut short when the very echidna they were talking about popped out of the surrounding shrubs, he was holding a chaos emerald.
"Knuckles, there's something you should know!'
"Not know Tikal, Eggman's at it again and they need my help." The echidna said as he rushed to the biplane. "But it's important Knuckles!!"
"Fine, I'll listen to whatever it is you have to say once I come back, just not right now, it's an emergency and I need you to guard the Chaos Emerald while I'm gone OK? Let's go Tails." And they went off, leaving Tikal on the dust the Biplane left and alone on the floating island.
She looked at whatever was left visible part of the flying Biplane on the sky and said "Knuckles, you bonehead!! … just hurry back…"
Prologue 3:
Night time.
Everyone's going to bed; the windmills were silently spinning as the night breeze touched them. Enter Breezegale, a quiet town known as the Wind Village. And in a certain house can be found a very tired Cabbit.
Slowly he walked to his room, lack of sleep evident in his eyes. It has been a long day, he yawns and then places his cap and ring on bedside not caring to even change into something else, he was clearly too tired for anything right now.
He was growing up, times are changing and duties are gaining. Sometimes for the young cabbit, there was no time for adventure. As the day passes by chores and responsibility are becoming much more time consuming.
His grandpa is getting old. Soon he must face the same event that he dealt with in that other world. It hurts to say goodbye, and it hurts more to go through it twice.
Yes, his grandfather knows that he is in fact the Dream Traveler, but he also knows that his time is almost up. Trying to get his mind off it he began to think about his friends both the old and the new. There are other children in the village but they were not the ones that he shared adventure and danger with he remembers all of them.
Suddenly he collapsed on the bed and easily went off to peaceful slumber.
He dreamt about all of them in one big party. He didn't care why, because what he saw was more than enough for him, he looked at all of their faces one by one in laughter, but then at the far end of the room he could see the back of a certain ring spirit, back then he thought he was one, but he learned the truth and that a ball of light was not the true form of his friend some time ago when he became a hero for the first time, he went closer to him and spoke.
"Huepow?"
Slowly, Huepow turned and looked at him with sadness.
"Help me.."
Klonoa suddenly woke up, hearing those words. "Is anyone there?" He took his cap and held the ring on his left. He rushed to his window and opened it up seeing only the houses of Breezegale, there was only silence and crickets on the background. He poked his head out and searched left and right. He gave up and faced opposite of the window as he wondered who it could have been; scratching the fur on his head he failed to notice the vortex forming outside.
An unknown force pulled him in towards to vortex. He yelled and the vortex disappeared as the lights of the Breezegale houses suddenly turned on.
He was now floating to who knows where, "This is new" he thought. He deduced that he was on the way to another dream world in danger, what else could it be? But then, this is probably how he got to the other Phantomile and Lunatea, only he was just sleeping during those trips. "Yes, that's it." He smiled and looked at the direction the vortex was taking him.
"It's time for another adventure, and I can't wait to see what strange world I'm going next." He chuckled to himself and then yelled at the top of his lungs.
"WAHOO!!!"
