"Gwondo Mountains is a very special place" Said Kika "The Bammawocks use it as a nesting ground and we have always done whatever we can to protect them." "I don't mean to be disrespectful but what's a Bammawock?" Asked Krystal. Kika searched through her sack and took out a sketch of a griffin like creature. "These creatures are noble and majestic" Said Kika "If Marvick or any of his minions manage to get a hold of them, it could spell disaster for us all." "It sounds like these Bammawocks are very important if you're trying to protect them"Said Krystal "Looking at the drawing reminds me of the Cloudrunners on Sauria." As Krystal and her friends continued down the path, she started to look around the forest trees and the rocky roads. "For some reason this makes me think of Cerinia" Krystal thought. "It was once very beautiful like this forest, until it's destruction." She shedded a tear at the thought of Cerinia's demise. "are you all right?" Kika asked "something seems to be on your mind." Krystal looked at Kika for a moment, then took a deep breath. "I'll be fine" Krystal answered "I just had a little something in my eye is all." "well ok" Kika Said "but we need to focus, Gwondo Mountains is only a few miles away so we're not too far now." "That's good to know"
said Flezzub "Krystal, did you know Gwondo mountains is also the highest mountain of our world." "How tall is is exactly?" Asked Krystal. "So high, it would be like you're ruling over tiny ants" Flezzub answered. Krystal laughed at that. "That would be silly" She said "but still, I bet that place is very beautiful." "Believe you me" Kika said "Those mountains have been around for a long time." Hearing that, Krystal was more then excited to get to Gwondo Mountains, so she can see the Bammawocks and see the view. "This will be an exciting experience for me as well" Metem said "My ancestors were mountain dwellers." "You mean, you never been to a mountain top?" Krystal asked. "No not really" Said Metem "I spent most of my life at the forest, but perhaps a mountain will be a change of pace for me." "That's the spirit" Krystal said "We can even help you if you wish." "I would like that, thank you"Metem said happily.

Meanwhile back at the Condo, Fox stepped outside to get some fresh air when Peppy met up with him. "Feeling Ok Fox?" Peppy asked. "To be honest, I'm not sure about all this" Said Fox. "I wouldn't worry to much about it" Peppy said "Beltino knows what he's doing." "I trust him completely" Said Fox, "It's Krystal, I'm starting to wonder if this whole thing is connected to her past or something." "That would be somehow likely, but we'll have to wait until we get more information" Said Peppy. At that moment Miyu stepped outside. "Hey McCloud" Miyu said "what seems to be the trouble?" "I'll head inside to see if Beltino needs my help" Said Peppy as he went back inside. "well Miyu, I'm starting to think that this Kingdom of Dreams world might have some connection to Krystal and Cerinia" Fox said. "That does sound interesting" Miyu said "I think Faye might have some research information about Cerinia if it helps." "I'll have to check it out" Said Fox "Perhaps it provide answers not just for me but for Krystal, but in the Mean time, we better see How Beltino's research is coming along." Miyu nodded in agreement then she and Fox headed back inside to check on the research. "How's it coming along?" Asked Fox. "Things are pretty normal" Said Beltino "but hopefully something should come up." "Krystal's Subconsious is in a normal state, I don't think we have much to worry about" Said ROB. "That's a relief" Said Fox as he looked at Krystal.
Slippy was watching the Monitor which showed Krystal's journey to Gwondo mountains when he saw Kika. "Who's she?" Asked Slippy "I never saw her before" everyone turned around to see what Slippy was talking about. "I never saw her before" Said Falco. "Something about that girl is so familiar" Said Beltino "It's like I've seen her before but I can't remember when.""well whoever she is, it looks like she's helping Krystal" Said Fox. "Are you sure about this Fox?" asked Falco. "It's a gut feeling, but yeah" Fox relpied.

Back at the Kingdom of Dreams, just as Krystal and her friends were about to reach their destination she started to Sense something. "Krystal is something wrong" Asked Kika."I'm sensing a distress call nearby" Krystal said "It seems to be to the right of this area." "The only thing that's on our right are the Cruckos nest" Said Kika "Those insects can be very dangerous, but we must help whoever is sending that signal." So everyone rushed down to that area when a cry is heard. "HEY HELP ME, HELP ME PLEASE!" The Voice heard. "That voice was getting louder and louder by the minute. By the time they made it to the Cruckos nest, they saw a small Mink Boy being chased by giant Moth like wasps. "Those giant bugs are the Cruckos" Said Kika "we must save that boy before it's too late" Krystal nodded in agreement and headed down there accompanied by Kika. Krystal aimed her Staff then launched an energy beam to the ground to scare them off. This gave Kika the oppurtunity to save the boy from the giant insects. "you shouldn't be over here by yourself you know" Said Kika "Those Cruckos can be very dangerous." Meanwhile Krystal who made sure everything was ok met up with Kika and the boy. "Is he ok?" Asked Krystal "He'll be just fine" Answered Kika "I'm sorry" Said the Boy "I wanted to get the Blomblum flower." "Blomblum flower?" Asked Krystal "What are those?" "A Blomblum flower is a very strong herb" Said Flezzub "It can help heal any ailments." "Why did you need the flower?" Asked Kika. "I needed one cause one of the Bammawocks have started to grow seriously ill." "Oh No!" Said Kika "That's horrible.""You can only get them at the Gwondo mountains but they are very hard to find" Said the boy. "We're heading down to Gwondo Mountains" Said Krystal "We can see to it that we'll find this Flower and heal the Bammawock back to full health." "Thank you" Said the boy "you must be some kind of brave princess warrior." "I don't know about Princess, but I feel like a warrior" Krystal chuckled. "but then how did you get here?" asked Metem. "As I was heading to the mountains I tripped on a rock and the next thing I knew, I landed here" Said the boy "I better head home, I bet my Mom is worried about me." The boy ran off waving goodbye to Krystal, Kika and the group.

"Kika, what do you know about the Blomblum Flower?" Asked Krystal. "Well They are blue with green stripes all over" Said Kika "They have an innate ability to cure any ailment as Flezzub pointed out." "Wow sounds like some kind of Miracle plant" Said Krystal "Very useful. "And very rare" Said Kika "So it's important that we find this herb and heal that Bammawock." The Glucklam looked down in sadness, so Krystal walked over and comfort it. "Are you ok Glucky?" Asked Krystal "That's so sad" Kika said "Glucklams and Bammawocks are generally good friends, hearing that one of the Bammawocks is sick is making Glucky feel sad." "Don't worry" Krystal said "We will find that flower to heal that creature." The Glucklam embraced her with it's trunk and then let out a roar. "That's the spirit glucky, now on to Gwondo mountains" Said Krystal. So the group got back on course and continued on the path to Gwondo mountains so they can find the Blomblum flower and save the Bammawock. "I hope we can be able to heal that creature in time" Kika said. "If I learned anything from Fox, it's that you got to trust your instincts to overcome the toughest of obstacles." The journey started to become intense but the group knew they had no time to waste.
