Unknowing to the nurse, as Natsumi quickly writes the note, the crystallized hands, only seen by Natsumi, grab a hold of her.
"Not so fast, my dear, you still have round two to think about," a voice whispered in her ear. Her body shakes violently, and she falls back to the bed.
She can hear the nurse's scream echo as she falls back into the dreamland.
They were back into the emotion area. They were by a large tree; the table was not that far away.
"Explain what you mean Kululu, or die right now," Giroro demanded.
"Kukuku, like I said earlier, most that come here think its dreamland, five areas, we've only been in four." Kululu started to explain, "not many get to the fifth area, most are able to get out, or perish," he said solemnly.
"Wait, so the fifth area isn't the way out?" Tamama asked.
"No, the way out is a door-"
"UGH! Enough with all these doors! Which one is the way out?" Giroro yelled.
"That I do not know, Kukuku…"
"It's the red door with a black door knob," a voice said from above. Leaves started to rustle and fell to the ground. Someone jumped from the tree and landed in front of them. It was a girl, one of the emotions.
"Natsumi?" Fuyuki asked. The girl turned around. Dororo twitched.
"Nope sorry," she held out her hand, "I'm Adventurous, at your service,"
Fuyuki looked at her hand, grabbing it, he slowly shook it.
"A red door with a black door knob, have you seen this?" Kululu inquired.
"Oh yea totally," she turned around, pointing beyond the table, "it appeared right by the table once, and earlier it was right over that hill,"
"Did you go near it?" Keroro asked.
"Oh heck no! I tried once, and I almost disappeared," she said, backing away.
"Disappeared?" Kululu stepped closer, "how so?"
"Hmm, how do I explain? Well I just felt like I was going to disappear!" she turned around, "well this is getting boring, I'm going to find something more adventurous to do, bye!" she waved bye, and ran off.
The group watches her run off, "well there goes our clue," Tamama said sadly.
"Actually, I think she told us more then we think," Fuyuki said, he looked down at Kululu, "can you go back to explaining?"
Kululu glanced at Fuyuki, "very well, as you already know, we're trapped here, by a creature as old as time itself, the Mirall,"
"Mirall? I never heard of these things," Keroro proclaimed.
" 'Mirror, Mirror on the wall, Who is the Fairest of them all?' " Fuyuki said. The whole platoon looked at him.
"Kukuku, excatly, you can say that question brought them into existence," Kululu started to walk, the other's followed him, "Pekoponians and other aliens always looked into mirrors, wondering 'do i look good today?', any other questions of the same," Kululu looked over his shoulder to look at the others.
"Like in that Snow white story, the evil queen asks the magic mirror, 'Mirror, Mirror on the wall, Who is the Fairest of them all?' the mirror answers, at first, that she is the fairest, but later one tells her Snow white is the fairest. You pekoponians changed the story from the original, kukuku,"
"Original? What do you mean? Didn't the Brother's Grimm come up with that story?" Fuyuki asked, catching up to Kululu, with Keroro at his heels.
"Tch, no, a survior from the actually event came down to Pekopon, met the these 'Brother's Grimm' and told them her story,"
"So how does this fit in with all this?" Keroro asked, waving his arms around.
"Well, the Mirall's were in a long dormant sleep, till a certain event woke them up, which i was going to tell you the story, but your not interested, kukukuku,"
Keroro, Tamama, and Giroro glanced at each other, Dororo gazed off to the distance, though it seemed Fuyuki was the only one interested.
"Please continue Kululu, I want to know what happened!" Fuyuki pleaded.
"Since you asked so nice, Kukukuku," the group headed towards the nearest door, "there is an alien race, 5.4 light years away from pekopon, called the Bello. There were a race of, as you say it, beautiful, they have this glow around them. To me, its just disgusting aliens full of themselves. So one day, a young keronian, who had just won the Miss Universe, went to that planet of Bello's."
Fuyuki opened the door and they went in. It was the lake again with the dancing couples, one stood away from the rest. The group continued to walk, ignoring the people, and trying to find the next door.
"So this Keronian went up to the first Bello she see's. The Bello, of course, started to ask the Keronian 'how beautiful it was', 'was it the most beautiful?'. The Young Keronian looked up and said, 'Of course not, i'm the most beautiful, I won Miss Universe and you didn't.' This upsetted the Bello quite much, and its glow started to dim. This made it quite mad, and thus came up with the idea of reflection,"
Fuyuki listened with awe, while the others looked for the door.
"This Bello traveled to other planets, finally found one that had water in it. The Bello looked upon the water, and stared at it's reflection. Thinking that it was the most beautiful, said the words 'Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?' well something like that. And the first mirror rose from water. The Bello took it back to its home planet to show the keronian. Once back, it told the keronian about this mirror that only shows the most beautiful,"
"Hey can we take a break? My feet are hurting," Tamama whined.
"Good idea private, Everyone, it's time for a break!" Keroro said, sitting on the ground. Fuyuki sat near Kululu so he can listen more to the story.
"The Keronian looked at the mirror, and she could only see herself, she laughed at the Bello, 'this thing still shows me, i'm still more beautiful then you,' this made the Bello even angier. Really angry, kukukuku,"
Silence fell over the group, sensing the omnious feeling. Kululu continued.
"The Bello came up with a plan, to get rid of the Keronian out of its way, and become the most beautiful, of course it completely forgot about the other Bello's in it's quest to overcome the Keronian. It created a shiny red apple, laced with Batrachotoxin, which can only come from a tree in the Arowana galaxy. The Bello gave the apple to the Keronian, admitting that she was the most beautiful. Thinking nothing was wrong, she took a bite. The Toxin reacted quickly, and the Keronian died in an instant," Kululu stopped, and looked at everybody around him, "With glee, the Bello ran to its mirror and said, 'Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?' and its reflection replied, 'you are,' and the Bello fell through the mirror. No one really knows how though. Soon another Bello finds the mirror, and makes more, giving it out. Thus starting the epidemic, the Bellos were being consumed by the mirrors. With what happened between the original Bello and the Keronian, awoke the Mirall's, and after their long nap, they were hungry."
"So they eat the Bello's?" Keroro said slowly
"Yes, kukuku,"
"NOOO! I don't want to become a delicous meal for some other alien! Save me Fuyuki!" Keroro jumped behind Fuyuki.
"Don't worry, Sarge,"
"Actually, we all should worry, sooner or later, if we don't find Natsumi and our way out, we'll all become the main course, kukukuku," Kululu said.
"Wait, if the Miralls ate all of the Bello's, how did one tell those Bro's?" Giroro asked, leaning against a tree.
"One escape before it was eaten, came to Pekopon, met the Brother's Grimm, told them its story, they write it and edit it a bit. That Bello, though, died soon after, because it had a hard time adapting pekopons atsmophere," Kululu explained.
"Wait, so why does the Mirall want Natsumi's name?" Tamama asked, pushing the slightly twitching Dororo away.
"To take over our soul and body, and then devour it," Kululu said, he noticed the confused looks on the others, "Each Bello had no name of their own, thus they were easy to take, the Mirall's need one's name before taking them and eating them. They can enter your dreams, feel your emotions, and become your reflection, but they can't find out our names for some reason,"
"That's a good thing, right?" Giroro said.
"In a way, yes," Kululu said
A sound of an opening door made all their heads swivel towards the lake.
