Everything seemed silent for the moment, and everyone seemed to wonder what was going on and what was going to happen next…
"Uh, what did you just say to us?" PaRappa asked who he assumed was Lammy 'in a way' It was almost as if she was a completely different person now. He inched slowly towards her. "Don't you know us? We're your friends…" "Get away from me. I know who my friends are." she said in a cold voice and walked towards VaRavva.
"HAHAHAHA! Now you see what I'm capable of. I can control anyone and anything!" VaRavva said. Katy started to get mad now. "YOU STUPID PATHETIC NO GOOD SON OF A SELFISH &!!" However, VaRavva was un-phased by these comments. "Thanks. Now then, off we go…" and VaRavva left with the two guitarists in tow. PaRappa ran towards him and was going to hit him, but was tripped by a branch and when he looked up, they were gone.
A few seconds later, a small creature wearing a red dress and had a stick of dynamite on it's head walked by the group with a soda. "Ma-San! I told you to stay here to keep a eye on Lammy! Why didn't you!?" Katy scolded the Chinese mouse. (I was thirsty. I went to go buy a soda. So what?) she answered (in her foreign language). "So what….SO WHAT?! GET OVER HERE!" Katy started to chase Ma-San.
PaRappa was to pre-occupied over what had happened to stop her. "Sigh…Well, we don't know where they are…I guess we should just go home. Maybe we can find something to help find them there. Let's go guys" he turned but saw his friends were gone… "What? Who? Where are they!?" PaRappa frantically looked around and saw them all come back with sodas. He slapped his forehead at this
VaRavva had taken Rammy and Lammy to his dark secret area, where no one would most likely find them. "As you are now a member of my fold, you should meet the rest of my group. HEY GET OUT HERE!" VaRavva shouted in the darkness to apparently no one. However, someone started to come out. "Now then Lammy, let me introduce you to them…"
"JP Darri, you here man?" VaRavva asked. "Yes I am. I'm completely ready to comprehend the situation if you need it." a small grey bear answered. JP was a smart talking bear that was really quick on his feet. He wore black shades.
"Raty?" Next came a black cat. Raty was almost as stylish as Katy. She had long claws like a panther and wore a long grey skirt and a grey top with a dark red star on it. " Purr…Greetings my fair-AH!" Raty ended up tripping over herself. Oh yeah, she was also unlucky.
Then out came a small gray mouse. She wore a white dress and had a icicle on top of her head. Her name was Na-Zan. Na-Zan used hammers as her drumsticks. She didn't talk at all.
Next came Nate Minor. "Hey champ! How'd the game go yesterday?" VaRavva asked another dog with black spiked hair and wore a basketball jersey with a -1 on it. "We lost…I got caught cheating again…" the dog answered. "So I smashed up the net. Ha-ha!" "Nice one" was his friend's reply.
"Well, then. Perhaps we should begin…" VaRavva stated. "Wait a sec, aren't we missing a few?" Rammy asked. "For example, where's chubby?" "She isn't coming. She didn't want to join us." was VaRavva's simple reply. "As for my girl, she's painting her nails. So we'll start without her." Just then, VaRavva pulled out a strange shiny orb of light. "I have a good feeling this is what we've been waiting for.
VaRavva walked over to what looked like a large laser beam that was turned off. There was a small compartment that looked like it could hold something small. "Now then, with Lammy's emotions, perhaps we can finally power up our negativity machine! Then, we'll be able to shroud PaRappa town in total darkness and take control! YES!" VaRavva placed what was now confirmed to be Lammy's emotions in the small compartment of the machine and tried to turn it on…
The machine started to beep: NEGATIVE! NEGATIVE! "Darn. No match." Nate pointed out. "I had a feeling this wasn't it. OK. We'll keep searching for it" VaRavva said and placed the orb inside a jar and placed it next to a few others in a nearby area.
"Well, this sucks! This whole thing sucks!" PaRappa said to himself as he walked back home. He escorted the others home and was now going to go to bed once he arrived home. His cell phone started to vibrate. So, PaRappa answered it and saw there was a text message on it. It read: I have information on VaRavva. Please meet me in the dark alley at 9:00 PM tonight. "What? Can I trust you" PaRappa typed in Yes, was the reply. MEET ME IN THE DARK ALLEY. AND BE SURE TO COME…ALONE…
PaRappa was confused. He wasn't sure if he should trust whoever this was. It might have been a trick by VaRavva and his friends. At first he wasn't going to show…However, he decided he had no other options than to go. PaRappa decided to walk slowly down the corner of the street, preparing himself to fight if need be. He kept his pace and made sure no one was around as he walked into the darkest alley corner there was.
"Hello? Anyone here?" he called out. PaRappa waited for a response. However, no one called back. PaRappa was about a minute early. "Hmmm…Was this just a joke?" he wondered. A minute had passed. Nothing. "Well. Is there anyone here?" PaRappa asked. Apparently not. "Well I'm not gonna wait around then. I had a feeling this was just a wild goose chase…" PaRappa decided to leave. However, that's when he saw someone, or something turn down the corner. He was about to jump and run away in fear but PaRappa's legs were frozen. Then, he saw who it was.
"You!" PaRappa pointed at the person. It looked like a fatter version of Paula. She had black hair, pale skin, wore a black dress with black shoes and fishnets. PaRappa could tell quickly she had to be one of VaRavva's friends. "I knew it! This was a set up! You tricked-"
That's when she closed his mouth shut with her hand. "Shhh. Don't worry. I'm not gonna hurt you. I just need you to listen to me and hear me out. OK?" she asked him. PaRappa nodded hoping nothing bad would happen.
She looked around, hoping no one noticed her and then the dark Paula dragged PaRappa into another quiet area. She released him and began to talk. "OK. My name is Caula. Technically yes I'm a friend of VaRavva. But I haven't approved of his behavior lately and want to help you try and stop him." "But why?" PaRappa asked. "If your from his world, why aren't you evil like him and the rest of his friends?" "Well, I do have some evil, but only a tiny bit." she replied. "So, can I trust you to trust me PaRappa?" he looked slightly confused and unsure. However, there was honesty deep inside Caula's eyes. "OK. I think I can trust you." Caula hugged PaRappa at his answer. "Ah! Caula! Your starting to crush my ribs!" he squeaked out and Caula released him
"Sorry. Anyway, let's talk. Here is what VaRavva is planning. VaRavva came here because he wants the 'sacred kindness orb'" "Wait, the what?" PaRappa was confused. "A kindness orb is basically the raw emotion of a person's heart. It's said that if this orb was ever removed from someone, that person would become heartless and cruel" PaRappa knew she couldn't be lying, and he had Lammy as proof that Caula was telling the truth.
It is rumored that there is one out there to have so much kindness and power than others. It's the sacred kindness orb. If it's in a person pure of heart, everything seems balanced out. However, if it falls into the hands of dark hearted, there's no telling what could happen!"
PaRappa had heard every word of Caula's warning carefully. "When did you hear about this?" he asked her. "Well, it started when he began getting jealous of your success. People kept buying your CDs and stopped buying his. VaRavva began to get really angry and decided to plot revenge. So, he planned all of this and built a huge machine. If it gets the power it needs to work, it will do unpredictable things. Things I don't even wanna talk about…" PaRappa began thinking about what could happen before Caula started up again.
"When I voiced about how wrong this was, VaRavva just shunned me and told me to get lost. He didn't want to hear me out over what he was doing. He just wanted it done. Now it seems he will stop at nothing to get what he desires." PaRappa began to think about who it could be VaRavva wanted to get. "I wonder who it is that has the sacred kindness orb…Wait. Could it be me? It must be me…" "I'm not sure who has the orb if anyone. I do know this. You have to try and stop VaRavva from getting to this person at all cost. If you find out who it is, protect them! It's up to you PaRappa. You have the one power VaRavva doesn't have." PaRappa was confused at what she meant, but then remembered what it was…
The secret power that he had. PaRappa never really used it that often, only when he really needed to do so. Very few knew about, not even his friends actually knew about it…
"Your right. I'll do it. Whatever it takes I'll do it…and thanks." PaRappa was just about to walk away, when Caula stopped him.
"Wait, there's one more thing you need to know." he sat back down as she spoke. "Most of our friends aren't that great, so I wouldn't worry so much about them. However, there's one in particular that you should be aware of. She's just as dangerous and bad as VaRavva is if not worse. I'll show you." Caula pulled out a magazine and showed it to VaRavva. It was a magazine titled "Dark Diva's magazine. On the cover was a bizarre person, a girl.
PaRappa thought the girl looked slightly familiar. She had black and silver hair/petals, pale white skin, long red fingernails, dark red eyes, and wore a black tank top and matching miniskirt, red high heel shoes, and looked to be wearing way too much eyeshadow and rouge. That's when it hit him. "Wow! She looks like Sunny, only well, more sinister and…more "revealing" PaRappa read the name on the cover: "Xunny. Is that her name?" Caula nodded. "She's pretty crafty, and lets just say she has a way with getting what she wants. Beware of her…" and with that, the two parted ways and PaRappa was on his way back home.
Meanwhile, in VaRavva's hideout, VaRavva began searching for others. "Where…where could it be? I know your out there somewhere, and you can be sure that I'll find you…" VaRavva decided to simply look for a few others possible suspects. One name that came to mind: "Sally Anne Bo Jumperdink? It seems she just moved here not to long ago…Hmmm…"
It was getting late and PaRappa was getting tired. So as soon as he got home, he went upstairs and stripped down to his boxers, which were black with red hearts on them, and got into bed and went to sleep. When he did, he began to dream. PaRappa woke up and realized he was in some strange area. It looked really foggy and there was a road that seemed to go on forever. "Something doesn't seem right here…" PaRappa did the only logical thing. He began to walk down the road…
