The Adventure of Klonoa and the Evil Clockworks

By Tuck Brandybuck

"Tell me a story about Klonoa; like that other time!"

"Oh, alright I suppose I'll just make something up… Ok shadow Klonoa, Gigan, Klonoa, and Arain, all go on an adventure and there's an enemy who is hiding at a safe place which is a bad thing because he has lots of defense and he has kidnapped a scientist and is forcing the scientist to make him plans and a marching army of clockwork robots. In order to defeat the clockwork robots they'll have to... do something so I'm going to start it out real quick where they meat Arain. Shadow Klonoa decides that Arain is an evil negative being of himself and that he has to kill Arain to keep his existence….."

Shadow Klonoa and Arain are battling but Gigan and Klonoa can only watch helplessly as they aren't sure if one is evil or not and they are deciding weather to break the fight up or let fate decide.

Arain uses special abilities that allow him to manipulate "fog" powers and uses it to trip Shadow Klonoa.

Shadow Klonoa: ARRGH I'll have you for that

As Arain dangles him helplessly in the air by his neck but Shadow Klonoa uses his ears to fly into the air and Arain can do nothing but hang by his own fog, let go and soar at Shadow Klonoa alike; with his ears also. They topple on one another and Klonoa notices something as they roll onto the ground pounding each other with fists:

Klonoa: STOP, Look at you guys. You both look like--

Everyone gasped

Klonoa: ...Yin and Yang...

Gigan stared and squinted,

Gigan: Yeah sort of...

Shadow Klonoa looked disturbed as though trying to understand

Shadow Klonoa: So... we balance out the universe? You mean... If I kill him then I could create a time paradox, the results of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space-time continuum and destroy the entire universe???

Klonoa: I think… But that's not important; we've found someone who can help us defeat the enemy!

Gigan: Wha-- We did, did we? Do you always go around taking strangers and trusting them?

Klonoa looked at Gigan

Gigan: Oh right... uh ok so maybe we can take them with us

Shadow Klonoa: What do you mean? You mean you would leave me here??

Arain: It's probably not a good Idea, what if something happens? Then everything you're fighting for would be destroyed.

Klonoa: The only thing we actually have to worry about is if the person dreaming right now wakes up...

So they set out to find whoever the enemy was, giving the host bad dreams and weather or not they'd be able to take Arain, they took him anyway.

Gigan: So, looking at a rather tall building, however it was wide as it was tall that stands out a bit, I think we ought to try this building?

Klonoa: Maybe, looks like a storage house; I wonder who transports things into it for safe keeping, let's go check and see if anything is in there...

They enter the building and there are all kinds of stairs and walls and machines running rather loudly, it's very dark and Arain produces a small white dim flame for each person. They can hold it in their palm without burning themselves.

Shadow Klonoa: How do you do that?

He tries to shoot something out of his palm with his eyes closed but never gets anything done, by the time he's finished and frustrated they have already left him behind.

Klonoa is going down staircases and staircases one after another and he can't seem to be getting to what he wants to and all the staircases have forks or 4 point crossroads where they pointlessly go up and down and up and down

Klonoa Thinks: Why do they have to have steps instead of level plat forms...

He sees something glowing and gives the stairs up as a bad job and uses his ears to fly over to whatever it was, as he gets close they disappear...

Klonoa moves to a different part of a building instead of pressing on any further.

Meanwhile Gigan accidentally fell down the stairs, and while doing so he dropped his flame and it fell strait to through the cage like stairs and WOOSH it blew out, however now that the flame was out he could surprisingly see a lot more. There were two green dots just ahead into the depths of the darkness and he looked forward trying to concentrate, however the streaked across the room very fast and he couldn't see anything anymore, it reminded him of fireflies and he wished he could have caught one, however he had rather catlike eyesight and could see at a contently satisfying ability without the light, which was grey anyway.

Shadow Klonoa checked his watch as he held the flame to it, it was almost time to group back with the others and this place was giving him the creeps because he hadn't found anything to produce that echoing noise

Klonoa finally finds a door, and opens it slowly to find a room that is rather disheveled, in it is a bed that is tipped over and feathers all across the ground, and a load of chairs and the sound was getting louder as he entered more rooms where he found a malfunctioning, non working dryer, which he unplugged from the wall, and the sound stopped. Everyone grouped up immediately to the place they had split up at.

Gigan: The sound stopped...? And my flame went out!

Klonoa: I shut it off and we have to get out of here because I don't think anyone chose to leave this place

They exit the building with such a loud sound that the dreamer woke up and everything paused stopped abruptly.

Dedication to my friend who coincidently goes by the name of Klonoa. He is still alive so I'll be writing more. Sadly, audience, I have never played a game based on the Klonoa universe, so I don't have much experience and the ring will come into place in the second chapter
