"So...you're NOT trying to kill us?"

"Heavens no...there was already enough bloodshed...I just want to thank you for...still treating us as if we still mattered...even after all we did…"

"Well...from what I found out...someone made you think that you were better...it's not entirely your fault…"

"But we still listened...had we not...things may have been majorly different...for that...I thank you...no...for that. WE thank you." the remainder of Chivalry appear in the room, all different wild animals, adorned in knight armor. Their instrumental tools all turned into swords "Could you please do us the honor of finishing our symbol...so we can carry on?"

"Of course!..." Parappa hops on over to the sewing machine with Katy and Ma-san behind, Katy taking a mini detour in laying Lammy onto the bed so she wouldn't be resting on the ground "Mind telling me your name?"

"I am Gallant...a name which I do not deserve…not after the things we've done..." They all look to the ground upset with their poor decisions.

"Alrighty...wait...what did he mean by...OH right! You guys became Chivalry Down! That means...the main symbol...had two more swords crossing with the original one." Parappa begins adding the two other swords, finishing off their symbol, as he does that the spirits being altering in appearance. They looked battered and beaten...and especially broken. Once Parappa finished, a light began enveloping them as they now were wearing more different armor while also sporting a more mechanical appearance. And now wielding two makeshift swords instead of one.

"Ha...I had nearly forgotten what we went through and how we adapted...I feel silly and disgusted with myself...dear children of better times...I hope you four can forgive us selfish brutes for doing what we did…"

The trio simply nod as the spirits all divebomb into Parappa's hat.

"W-Well...i'm glad they found their peace at least!...I'm gonna be meeting all of them aren't I…"

"I-If that's the case...mind...sewing in Cruisin' Blues next?...I...wanna see grandma…" Katy shuffles around nervously as she blurts this out.

"S-Sure!...Alright...they're a snowflake over an ocean wave...a little complex but still easy…" Parappa begins making the symbol with Katy's guidance.

"Nono the wave has indents here and here…"

"Oh you're right my bad...what about the snowflake? Any extra indents I missed?"

"No...just the points have indents and you already got those."

"Good...then with this...that should...do it!" The trio wait, but nothing happens.

("Guess it was a one time thing!")

"Oh...aw well...it was worth a sh-" Suddenly there's a loud banging at the door to the room.

"W-Who is that…"

"I d-dunno…"

("Open it ya sissies!...")

Parappa slowly walks to the door, as he's about to open it, the door opens itself. Revealing a lady in fur clothing. She was a wild cat, she was so furry you could mistake her for a wolf! Which probably explains why she was called Lupe. However like Gallant, she was also a ghost.

"Alright, who started remembering me?"

"W-We did M-Mrs. Lupe!..." Parappa says as he bows in front of her.

"Lift your head up. Come on...I'm not angry. Just...caught off guard. Nobody ever gave a damn about us after how everything went down…so to just feel...important and wanted after all this time was alarming…" She sighs "Hm...I smell something...smells familiar..hey. You there. You wouldn't have to be related to Robert Kat now would you?" she points to Katy.

"H-He's my dad…"

"You poor poor child, your upbringing must have been awful…"

"My...parents...were...yeah they were rather...bad…"

"Sweetie, it's alright to call them worthless sacks of sh-"

"T-They're still my mom and dad!...I-I rather not...yet…"

"Hah...you are definitely not like them. I'm glad. My son was both an idiot and a traitor. As was his equally idiotic girlfriend, who apparently ended up his wife. Both were real rough around the edges, rather spiteful towards everything! Makes me spiteful just thinking about him. But I'm dead so what does it matter to me."

"Y-Yeah...that...rubbed off on me when I was growing up...but...it's thanks to him that I didn't end up that way…"

"Ah, you here helped made sure my idiot of a son didn't taint my granddaughter? I must thank you. Or at least I could if I was alive."

"I-It's no biggie Mrs. Lupe. Katy's just a real close friend of mine! And...I could see how much she was suffering and...I wanted to fix that…"

She simply stares at him before manifesting a wine glass and sipping from it before turning to Katy "He's a keeper, I'd snatch him up before another woman can. Men like that are excruciatingly rare. He'd certainly enhance our bloodline."

"G-Grandmother!..."

"What?"

"I-I wanted to talk to you about specific things!...N-Not my love life!..."

"Oh is that so? What is it?"

"I...wanted to know at first what caused my mother and father to be that way…"

"Nothing caused it sweetie." She sips from the glass again "They just hate people. When you come from a group as cold as us, it's to be expected, but it's still looked down upon."

"O-Oh...so I can't fix it…"

"People like them would rather not be fixed, because they believe nothing's wrong. But know this, don't let them get to you. You aren't them. You will never be them. They can never turn you into them. You are your own new individual now darling. And that's something to idolize. You can't fix em, but your parents could learn alot from you."

"Thank you…" she bows from her grandmother's solemn words.

("I can agree to that! I owe Katy alot myself!") "Such as being able to speak like this!"

"A bloodline member of Dino-Might, WILLINGLY choosing to speak english? Thanks to you? Darling then you are amazing already. A true hard worker. Because getting them to actually attempt it ain't no easy feat."

"Well yeah! Katy's a hard worker! She never cuts corners! Always gives it her all to do what she can no matter what! Always an extroverted joy!"

"Are you sure you don't want to claim hi-"

"M-Moving on. How...did you die?"

"Bah...those three cursed sea bit- witches got the better of me. I guess they knew they couldn't take me in a fair encounter. All you could hear in the place we were at was the sound of my neck snapping."

"Yikes…"

"I told that idiot golden boy to get everyone to leave, but he insisted on staying to help me...the last thing I saw as my head limped onto the ground was him severely angry and charging straight for them. He was a grown man knowing what would happen if he stayed, but no. He wanted to be the gentleman...I felt bad for his daughter, having to deal with a dunce for a father. Always saying 'Leave it to me!' When things got serious. No matter what...it was always...Leave it to me..."

"Golden boy?" Parappa whispers to Ma-san.

("I think she means the golden one, guess he was more talk than walk for a name like that.")

"Oh...well...judging from what she says, he really is Lammy's grandpa."

("No kidding…")

"Hey grandmother...if you were alive today...what would you do now?"

"I'd go to a pond I remember creating. It was a group effort really, but no one relished in it as much as me...of course now it's probably just a tourist trap…"

"I-I know the pond you're talking about! I-It's not a tourist trap! W-Well not anymore...and me and him cleaned it up!...well it got messy again...but w-we're cleaning it up again!..."

"Oh? Is that so? Well thank you, but... who told you about it?"

"M-My mom…"

"Ah...guess she's not AS stupid as my son." she finishes off the wine "Guess you can fix them...well...at the very least your mother."

"R-Really?..."

"I don't honestly know, but it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot in the future."

"M-Miss Lupe…?"

"Yes boy?"

"Why did you have the title 'Queen of Emotions'?"

"Oh that, well the answer should be obvious. You three surely have taken notice of my speaking manner."

"Yeah you're rather...blunt and unemotive grandma…"

"Bingo. I keep my emotions in check, no matter what the situation, I will not express any sort. And to a blue's siren whose whole schtick is to get you wavering from your emotions...I was probably the worst thing in existence to them. Always keeping them in check, and they couldn't do a thing about it. That's why they started calling me that."

"But...isn't it sad being unable to express emotions."

"It is, but...I haven't felt sadness since as long back as I can remember, didn't even show emotion the time I lost my husband...that's where I decided to just shrug off all emotions whatsoever if not even THAT could falter me, I was a lost cause...course that's when goldilocks started trying to be a gentleman...ha...I see what happened now…"

"W-What?"

"Nothing big dear, well I won't say it. Maybe goldy can tell you when you call him over. Hey boy, mind finishing that symbol? I am...truly thankful to have a new era remember us, while trying to overlook our faults...All our faults…" The rest of cruisin' blues appear, however they are split into two groups, unable to look at one another, the group consisted of aquatic theme animals and things as well as anything blue in general. Explaining why Katy was the color that she was "Our stupidity nearly destroyed everything...it was so toxic...even we as a group split up over it...don't end up like us…" Lupe began crying, but her face stayed unemotive.

"We will grandma!..."

"Honey… I don't deserve a sweet title...not after what we did. I am simply...Lupe. Now hurry up-" Rather than call him boy again, she just awaits for him to say his name while also staring at Ma-san waiting for the same answer.

"P-Parappa!..."

"Names Ma-san."

"Yes, Parappa and you as well Ma-san. Please take care of my granddaughter won't you?" They both nod as Parappa heads back to finish the symbol.

"Um...I dunno what the upgraded symbol is…"

"It has the faces of the sea wenches, one at the top, one at the bottom left, and the other with the bottom right. With our founders face in the center."

"You mean the old man who took their vocal chords?"

"He did that? Haaaa...serves them right…but yes, the old man." Parappa returns back and looks for a symbol that matches what she says, when he finds it, he resumes working on the symbol. Causing the group to begin appearing bruised and battered. The trio's additions were not to hard, but reaching the old man's symbol got him needing help from Katy, while she finished up the symbol, they spoke up again.

"Who... was the old guy?"

"The trio's own father."

"W-WHAT?! A-And he WILLINGLY ripped his daughters vocal chords out?!"

"Just because they were his daughters doesn't mean they were excluded from better judgement."

"I mean...I guess you're right grandma...but...still…"

"He did save everyone. At the cost of his life." Katy uneasily finishes the symbol as her grandmother says that, causing said old man to appear.

"Speak of the devil." he does not react. He simply stays at the ground "Well...with that...it's time...we took our leave…" All of cruisin' blues flow into the hat, except for the old man.

"So…."

"..."

"Uh...sir?"

"..."

("Yo say something ya geezer…")

"..." He simply looks up, revealing his face that was hidden between his hat and beard. His face was tear stained so badly, that said stains had become frozen onto his face.

"O-Oh…" is all the trio manage to say as the look down, understanding his emotions.

"Sometimes the right decision...isn't always the best personal decision...never follow in this poor old fools footsteps…"

"Before you leave...what would've been your choice to do?..."

"The same end result...my daughters went to far...and I was the only one to stop them...whether that was fair to me or not...I pray that a choice like that, is never needed again…" with that said he fades into the beanie.

"Well...this is getting more and more sad...Ma-san want me to sew in Dino's symbol next?"

("Nah...i'd...like to hold out for a bit...I wanna see the others first to see what everyone had to put up with.")

"Ok…"

Parappa went with Garden Love next and their insignia was a big tree. As he worked on the symbol, the spirits that visited him were surprising...and disheartening. They were not adults...they were all children. The adults had joined in with Soul Machine to prevent the children from being assaulted, but from The Ravens hit and run tactics...the poor children weren't spared the empathy.

A Little flower girl, who would almost be the spitting image of a younger Sunny Funny were it not for that fact that she was a dandelion, floated towards Parappa and hugged him "Thank you for remembering us…"

"I'm sorry you all had to go through that…" She simply cries while latched onto him. The spectral tears felt cold, but Parappa didn't flinch, or move at all. He didn't even finish the symbol as he waited until she vented out all the sadness, seeing if she was ready to move on. The other children wanted to cry as well, with which Parappa simply nodded. Telling them it was fine to get the burden out. With that they all latched on to him, Katy and Ma-san and began weeping their sorrows away. Once they finished, Parappa simply said this.

"Do you all...want me to finish your symbol?..." They all nod "Ok…"

Before Parappa fully finished, he spoke to the girl once more "What's your name?"

"Poppy Funny..." The name stunned him.

"You...wouldn't happen to have a brother who's name was Potter right?..."

"How did you know?"

"Well...he survived…and you...even ended up getting a niece…" her eyes beam as he say this "He was even best friends with my dad, so it shows that no matter what, he would end up ok...I only wished you guys could've been as well. You guys would've been a great addition to PaRappa Town."

She simply smiles "I'm glad he's ok...he was always reckless...I got scared something bad would happen when he went with all the adults...but now that I see he's ok...all I can really say is thank you…"

Parappa finishes the insignia and looks back at them "We'll keep your legacy alive. No one deserves to be forgotten." They all pile on Parappa, hugging him, before fading into his hat.

Once they leave Parappa simply slams his fist on the wall "Man...I didn't expect THAT many kids to end up being involved with war…"

"And General Potter reckless? Guess the loss of his sis must've hit him hard considering how not reckless he is now…"

("Yeah consider we only lost distant relatives...the adults lost everything!...it's...pretty sad…")

"Well...next group...skyhi-"

"C-Can you do Flambe?..." Lammy says as she gets off of Parappa's bed

"Lammy! You woke up!"

"Y-Yeah...crying kids t-tend to do that…So w-what's with all the ghosts?..."

"They're not here to harm us or anything! Just to thank us for keeping their memories alive." Katy says as she rubs her arm.

"I n-noticed...I'd like to meet my grandfather...i-if that's ok…"

"You got it!...ok...he was part of Flambeyond...that means I have to sew Flambe and Dino-Might first...Ma-san that cool with you?"

("The crying kids were an upset to my stomach, so sure. I rather get some gritty stuff rather than...really upsetting stuff...")

"Alrighty! First Flambe...A simply blaze, ok that'll be easy!" Upon getting down with the first stage of the symbol, Flambe appears, their leader holding an axe, both literally and figuratively.

"WOULD YOU LOOK AT THIS RIGHT HERE GUYS? PEOPLE GIVE A DAMN ABOUT US AGAIN!" The leader was a giant green gorilla with red and white face paint.

"YEAH!"

"O-Ow my ears…"

"Oh man they're loud…"

("My kind of people. No wonder Dino-Might were so willing to join with them.")

"M-My Grandpa w-was apart of THIS group?..."

"Grandpa? Did one of us actually manage to leave a legacy?" the group simply shake their heads at their leaders question.

"Boss we're dead, what do you think." the one replying was an armadillo, he sported the same face paint as the gorilla. He appeared to be the second in command.

"I'm sorry! I'm just looking at the positives! I dunno...she looks familiar…" The boss flies forward towards Lammy "Hmmmmmmm…"

"E-Eep…"

He pulls out a black and gold opera mask and holds it over her eyes and smiles "IT'S GOLDY BOY FELLAS!"

"But boss that's a girl."

"IT'S GOLDY GIRL FELLAS!" They simply facepalm.

The one who kept replying to the boss then floats up to Lammy "Our apologies, Magnus here is all brawns and very little smarts...but he can play a killer guitar! One that your grandfather certainly enjoyed. But nothing ever got him to actually fight for it! He was very very passive...how is he now a days?"

"I-I thought you a-all would know...h-he died in the same war…"

"What?! But why didn't he run?..."

"Y-You guys didn't survive to the point when your group became Flambeyond did y-you?..."

"Ah...I see what happened now...He took over for us...and went down like us...I'm sorry dear. He was a good man that didn't deserve that fate." he looks at Parappa "So you actually bothered acknowledging us? I'm sure you know what we did."

"Yeah...but...it's not like...you meant it."

"Well, this is Flambe you're talking to...a group so destructive...we probably did on our own volition. I'm sorry, but we're all brutes as you can clearly tell by Magnus here. So for all we know, our reason was simply because we wanted to."

"T-That's not true…"

"Maybe, maybe not. Fires can be a really petty thing. When has a fire willingly HELPED someone?" he looks at Parappa, the topic clearly making him uncomfortable "It looks like you agree with me! What has fire done to wrong you my boy?"

"It…took my mother away…"

"A-Ah…" The second in command scratches his head "Oh dear…I'm...terribly sorry lad…"

"It's...fine...you didn't know…"

"..." The guy sighs "We're...a self loathing bunch...once the war started...we blamed ourselves for it...we wanted to stop it all…and at the same time end our lives...from all the guilt we had within…" Parappa looks up at him.

"We played like the embodiment of fire when we were alive... I can't undo what flames have done to hurt you, and I can't even apologize for it...all I can do is say, that you are in the right to not care for us...We deserve to be forgotten." Parappa simply shakes his head and finishes the first part of the symbol "Destructive idiots like us don't deserve good people like you caring for us my boy…" They all fade into the hat except him "Thank you…"

"Can you at least tell us your name before you go?..."

"My name is Bunsen...and I apologize for my poor choice of words...as well as anything flames have done to upset any of you…" He fades into the hat once he finishes.

"Didn't expect that to happen...heh…" He shakes his head to try and cheer up "Ok time to add on Dino's stamp…" the trio just watch Parappa, they were unable to speak up, they didn't know what to say "Hey Ma-san, weren't you gonna spectate me?"

("R-Right! You better not have messed up already!")

"Not yet not yet…" The duo begin working instantaneously.

"Ok so the dinos face is inside the fire."

("Don't forget the fuse from it's head! Or the indents that connect from the face of the dino to the flame it's on!")

"Got it! How far does the fuse extend? And oh? Like a puzzle piece?"

("Good, yes and yes.")

"Gotcha!" Upon nearly finishing, Dino-Might arrives.

("What do we have here? It appears we're being honored...us kamikaze arsonists? Uh uh baby we don't deserve that nice stuff.") the apparent leader of the group, a tall yellow mouse, wearing a red and blue suit while having four sticks of dynamite in his head, states as he gives a sigh. Unlike Ma-san, his eyes weren't beady. And his hair grew around the dynamite sticks into an afro.

("You blew yourselves up in order to stop the Raven's! While that was great, WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!") Ma-san says yelling at the leader.

("Hm? You talk like us? Wait sugah you look familiar…") he gasps after getting a good look at her ("YOU'RE THE SPITTIN IMAGE OF MARCEL! Oh i'm so glad the guy actually listened to me!")

("I'M NOT! YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW ALONE MY DAD ENDED UP BEING?! PAPA-MA ALWAYS LOOKS SO DEPRESSED AND NOW I KNOW WHY!") Her fuse ignites like a wildfire, as does the rest of Dino-might before the leader calmed them down.

("Listen sweetie, my little brother Marcel was a bit of a dunce. I didn't want him to follow me into war, but he was adamant...and unfortunately...a natural...his tank drums were certainly a destructive force...but I just couldn't watch my baby brother deal with all that! Eventually I knew it was gonna lead to his demise!...then those damn Ravens came…")

("W-Wait...little brother?")

("Yeah sugah, i'm your Uncle! But please let me finish before you ask more questions, I don't want you getting all upset at me for the wrong reason.") Ma-san nods hesitantly ("Good...see eventually we knew, we weren't gonna win against the Ravens...so we thought up a trap...now the problem is...we needed all of our group in order for it to work, for it to be believable...if we didn't have everybody, the Ravens would've known it was a trap! But I didn't want my little brother being a part of that...he had potential to have a great life. Not like his stupid older brother. So I told him the wrong plan, that we would be meeting with Flambe. And once he left...well. I'm sure you know the rest.")

("So...there was no other way…")

("We couldn't spare more people or else Raven's would know we were trying to blow them up with us...I wanted my baby brother to be the last one of us keeping it alive...And now I see he did...heh...I'm so happy...and so...sososo sorry…Hate on me all ya want...Uncle Marron deserves it.")

Ma-san ponders for a moment and sighs before speaking up again ("You're right, Uncle-ma is an idiot. But he cared so much for Papa-ma to even give him a chance at life...at the cost of his own...But still, Papa-ma's alone now.")

("Sweet-P he ain't alone, he gotchu! And ain't nobody gon take that from him! And if I know my baby brother right, he knows that to. What happened to your mother though? Shouldn't she be keepin an eye on him?")

("She...passed away when I was born…")

("Oh honey I'm so so sorry...but given your speech pattern...I think I know who you're mother was...haha...he got the girl he wanted...that's nice. Culture mixing is also nice. Look here. Just note that your old man shouldn't feel upset or alone. And if you ever feel like he is. Go on over to him and slap him hard across the face! You have my permission! If he asks why, just say your uncle told you to! That should drain the color off his face.")

Ma-san simply smiles at his attempt to lighten the mood ("Will do.")

Parappa surprises Dino-Might as he speaks up ("Ma-san certainly does care for the people she's close to! She was ready to slap you all senseless for causing grief to her dad. Why when we returned home after hearing the story, she was livid over anyone trying to defend your actions, then I told her that it was better this way. A world without a Ma-san would suck…")

("He cares for our kin AND speaks like us?!") He turns to Ma-san who's fuse ignited with a pink color, causing him to whisper to her ("You gonna let a boy rile your emotions like that? Hehe...you're just like Marcel when it comes to people they like.") Her dynamite explodes in a miniature explosion that engulfs Uncle-ma and Ma-san's heads, leaving them covered in soot. This all causes Marron to laugh ("Better lasso him quick baby! Before your temper does him in!")

("Whatever…") she begins wiping the soot off her face.

Marron turns to Parappa ("Baby, your free to finish our mark now...and thanks...all of you. For keeping us in your hearts. Lordie knows we don't deserve it, but we feel blessed all the same.) Parappa nods, but upon finishing the second step, they all instead fly into Ma-san's dynamite.

("W-Whoa!...a little warning would've been nice!) She scoffs a bit before releasing a light chuckle.

"That leaves Flambeyond! Care to help me out Lammy?"

"S-Sure!" She huddles over to his side "Ok so in the dino's mouth...you need to draw a skull with snakes coming out of the eye sockets...hey...that looks...familiar…"

"Lammy it looks like your logo!"

"It makes sense since her grandfather did become leader of this new group…, but man it is not an easy logo to sew…" Once Parappa gets close to completing it, El Dorado appears on cue.

"Buen Dias! Quien fue el que me llamo?"

"E-El!...Y-Yo!...L-Los dos!..."

"Ohohohoh! Mira que tenemos aqui! Quien es esta chica! Tu te pareces a mi!" He simply claps his hands with glee.

"S-Si!...soy tu nieta!..."

"Eso es verda?! Rebien!" He grabs her hands and begins floating up and down "Mira como bonita tu eres! Me alegra mucho!" Lammy simply blushes "G-Grandpa s-stoppppp...you're embarrassing meeee…"

"This is goldy boy?"

("Or goldilocks")

El Dorado stops in place and looks at Katy and Ma-san "I STILL have those nicknames?!...I thought I finally earned the title of The Golden One...U-Uh I mean- C-Como saben esos nombres?" The four of them simply look at him "Ok the jig is up…"

"W-We're you trying to sound c-cool and sophisticated by speaking only in s-spanish?..." Lammy looks at her grandfather, upset at said fact.

"I...yeah...I was. Regular me...nobody cared about...once I donned this mask, I became El Dorado...a whole different person...one that people then started giving a hoot about…"

"Just like me and my g-guitar…"

"Is that so?...Sorry you had to inherit that part of me…"

"I-I don't mind it! I actually got to meet a lot of great people thanks to playing my guitar!"

"R-Really?...I wish I had people in my life the same as your friends."

"But Mr. Golden one! You did! The guys at Flambeyond said you were a great guy! Even Miss Lupe thought you were a decent guy!"

"They...did?..."

"Yeah! Grandma did however say you were a bit of a dunce…but that you got really upset once she was...well you know…"

"Yeah...well...love does drive you to do stupid things…"

"L-Love?"

"Yeah...as a single father...and her a single mother...I...tried...and...she almost started letting me...then...we both died…"

"Why even start up fighting? I recall the Flambe saying you were rather against such a thing..."

"Well here's the thing...the sole remaining member of Dino was in our base...alone...upset...devastated...and...just all that riled me up something fierce...he was a kid! He wasn't supposed to be worrying about death and destruction! A kid his age should've been worrying over homework or if his favorite park will be closed or not! Not...that...I couldn't sit still...I put on my mask...not only to change me into El Dorado...but to hide the tears...the tears of empathy or Dino-MIght...and the tears of fear...I probably wouldn't survive...but no...I single handedly destroyed the remainder of the Ravens...but that didn't mean I was unbeatable...I learned that when it came to buying everyone time to run...at first it was just me trying to avenge Lupe...but that went down the drain fast...I was in over my head...so all I could do...was live so that they could focus on me...so that the other could just and never look back...then my legs were broken and I stayed on the ground...that was it, the following second...my world ended."

"I-I'm sorry grandpa…"

"Don't be sweetie. I CHOSE to do all that, watching Marcel and Lupe just ignited something in me, to do things I regularly wouldn't do...even with my mask off!"

"That's j-just like me and MIlkCan!"

"It's funny seeing as our families met beforehand...like it was destined!"

"You three are in a band?! My descendant, Lupe's descendant and Marcel's daughter? What are the odds! My dear granddaughter you said you play guitar correct?" she nods "Oh how I do love how guitars sound like! I can always dance to one!"

"Yeah Mr. Magnus and Bunsen filled us in on that!"

"I wish I could have you play for me...but in this form...I don't have legs to dance with…"

"I-I'm sorry…"

"Again mija, it's fine! How's your mother?...Is she...upset with me?..."

"I-I think so...they were even so adamant about being against my love for music…"

"Haha...I see...so she blames that instead of me...or maybe she blames both?..." He floats towards Lammy again "I'm so sorry...I could apologize a thousand times...but it would never do anything different...so I'll instead say thank you. Thank you for remember a goof like me...all of us." The remainder of Flambeyond appear behind him "Oye chico, termina mi mark porfavor."

"Huh?"

"He says to f-finish the symbol please."

"Oh right!" Parappa gets right on it.

"Sweetie, what's your name?"

"L-Lammy!"

"Lammy, keep being headstrong alright?"

"She already is Mr Golden One! Not only is Lammy headstrong enough as is! But also one for people to rely on for when the going gets tough! I should know, cuz i've witnessed it first hand!" Parappa says without turning around, simply wagging his tail.

"Is that so mijo?" When he turns back to Lammy, he sees her face glowing red, prompting him to smile and whisper to her "You better get him quick~ Love waits for no lamb~" This simply causes the rest of her face to turn pink now instead "Oh dear...here! Hide your face behind this!" He removes his mask and places it on her face.

"W-Wait! Won't you n-need this?..."

"Where I'm going? Not really...but in all actuality? Even if I could, I still would give it to you. It'd be better passed down." she simply nods.

"Done!"

"Very well. My time here is done! Goodbye to you all...and from the bottom of my spectral heart...thank you so much for remembering those who made poor choices…"

"B-Before you leave! C-Can I know your real name grandpa?..."

"Ah….it's uh...T-Tupper…" he scratches the back of his head.

"T-That's a nice name~.."

"Thank you dear. And goodbye." The members of Flambeyond fly into Parappa's hat.

"Your grandpa's a nice guy." Katy says as she walks up to Lammy.

("Equally as a mess as you! But not as adorable as you that's for sure.")

"Ma-san!"

("What? It is true! He can't pull off that as effectively as a girl can!") Lammy simply laughs.

"Yeah well, it was nice hearing from him." She adjusts the mask that he gave her, trying to make it look proper.

"Hey Lammy, I think that mask, plus the beanie I gave you would fit well!"

"O-Oh I uh...d-dunno about that~..."

("Try it!")

"M-Maybe later!...h-heh..."

Parappa moves on to Skyhigh, a symbol of a ravine with a storm blowing in between. When they appear, they are all an assortment of birds.

"Oh lookie here...you lot actually wanna keep our spirits going?"

"Of course! All of you don't deserve to be forgotten!"

"Hahaha! Oh this is rich!...wait...you're serious? You...want to remember fools like us?..."

"You guys can't really be called fools when you were goaded into doing this…"

"Just...finish our symbol please…"

("Geez rude much!")

"Remember Ma-san, Skyhigh didn't really...like anybody…" Katy says as the members simply eye them down.

They dive into Parappa's hat before he fully finishes, wanting to leave as quickly as possible.

"Man that was...awkward…"

("No kidding! Next!")

The next step was adding on Dragonhaven to Skyhighs insignia, but they were silent, and left faster than skyhigh. Only uttering a simple "thank you for the honor" before leaving.

"Man no wonder they got along with Skyhigh…"

"Blegh...who's left?..."

"That leaves the Ravens, the Royals and the two inventing based groups of Allies of the Funk and Soul Machine…"

The Ravens said nothing, they refused to thank anyone and just vanished upon being called.

("Jerks! No wonder everyone hated these guys!... In fact the three of these all sucked! Like what the heck they all seemed really spiteful...and the two priors were supposed to be helpers?!")

"Agreed…"

"Y-You could feel t-the hostility s-seeping from them!"

"N-Next…actually...Parappa you sure you want to have their symbol?"

"Like it or not, they were one of the founding fathers of music in general. So I gotta have em. No matter how bad they are they're still a reason we even have music at all! And with Skyhigh and Dragonhaven they did still end up helping...and some of them even became Allies of the Funk so not all of them are like that."

"Eh...if you say so."

The royals were a different story, only King Rock and Queen Roll appeared, prompting everyone but Ma-san to kneel. Only for them to notice that the Royals themselves were kneeling.

"Children of today that choose to care for us, despite our mistakes. Ours were the most destructive and yet you both seek to remember us." King says as he stays knelt.

"We do not deserve your kindness, for we were the biggest fools of them all..." Queen says as she heaves a sigh of despair.

"N-No your majesties! You were doing something that someone who messed with your thinking wanted!"

"Yes...that bastard made us believe that only we mattered...but in actuality...no one matters when they try to strip away music from one another…You have my praise for choosing to remember us. And with that, me and my legion thank you."

"As do I. I do so wish that you lot push the form of music into a new frontier where we don't needlessly fight to take it away from one another." They both place a giant hand on Parappa's head, nearly squishing him due to their size, and nodded before disappearing into his hat on the table.

("Now THAT'S more like it!") Ma-san feels a swelling ego within her after seeing the Royal's bowing to them instead.

"They seemed so nice...it's sad that they had to be the bad guys throughout most of it…" Katy frowns as her tail droops to the floor.

"Um...w-what were they?..." Lammy stays puzzled on what to make of the two she just saw.

"I have no clue...they...had a centaur's lower body, but a minotaur's upper half...all while being alienish in appearance?...All I know is that it was intimidating as all heck!"

"No kidding! Move on to the next group please Parappa!" Katy simply shudders from their presence alone.

"Ok that only leaves...actually...let's go with Groove Machine first."

Groove Machine was rather odd, they didn't say thank you as they already felt remembered enough thanks to Parappa's existence alone. And simply praised him before going into his hat, Upon changing it to Soul Machine. The same result, the others simply felt that they were already remembered by Parappa simply existing. And simply petted him on the head and dove into his hat.

("It figures the group your dad was from would be pretty quick and simple.")

"Guess dad was the only one to never give up on his old group buddies...and like Poppy said, there were some Garden Love members in Soul Machine!"

"That leaves Allies of the Funk! I wonder who we'll see there! Add it on top of Soul Machine to get Soul of the Funk already!"

"On it!" Parappa finishes adding on the final symbol to see who he gets to talk to, but only one spirit visits them, and it leaves both Parappa and Katy speechless. Until Parappa finally musters up the strength to speak.

"M-Mom?..."


It was quiet in Mushi's studio, nothing was happening and it was rather peaceful. But no one could deny that it was also boring.

"Heh...I still can't believe those guys actually wanted those posters. Didn't think anybody would wanna remember such a tragic past. All thanks to YOU!" He throws a dart a picture of a crocodile mans face, it already being covered with several darts "You probably don't even remember them anymore...as you constantly mess up the lives of anyone who dares show their appreciation of music…" he throws another dart "You're probably doing that right now...taking advantage of people by using what they love…" he gets ready to throw another dart, but is distracted by the phone.

"A call? At THIS our? Wonder who it could be…" He decides to answer "Hello! Good old King Kong here! How can I help-"

"Hello Mushi! How great of you to pick up."

"...no…"

"Hahah, still the same reply after all these years."

"...nononononono."

"Why don't you hang up on me then dear Mushi?"

"What the hell do you want S-P?!"

"With you? Oh the usual! But I also expect the usual reply, so I won't bother...yet. I actually wanted to ask you about something. You have a protege don't you?"

"No...I don't."

"Oh how selfish Mushi! Please inform me as to who he or she is!"

"Never."

"Oh is that how it's going to be? Then I guess I'll have to look up things for myself!"

"YOU THINK I'D LET YOU?!"

"Ohohohoho dear Mushi, you can't stop me."

"I could have ruined you years ago! During that massive destruction fest that YOU caused!"

"And yet you didn't. Because you knew you couldn't do anything to me. In the long run i'd win. And that would put the group you were in at the time up at stake. Even now you fear me."

"I don't fear you."

"Then why don't you do anything to me now?"

"..."

"You are pathetic, like a hapless dog being treated like dirt, unable to fight back...speaking about dogs, from what I gathered, that's what species your protege is. Am I not correct?"

"I will not answer you."

"Fair enough, i'll find out on my own eventually. I just want to have a...small chat with them! Nothing more nothing less."

"You even so much as get within ten feet of him I swear I will-"

"Ah so it's a boy! That makes the search marginally easier!" Mushi begins punching himself in the head for letting that slip "Well Mushi, I'd love to stay and chat, but I have loads of searching to do!" he hangs up leaving Mushi in complete anger with himself.

"No...this is all just a bad nightmare…"


"M-Mom?..."

"M-Mrs. Rappa?..."

The ghost in front of them was in fact Parappa's mother.

"B-But...where's the rest of Allies of the F-Funk…"

"I assume they stayed with their appropriate groups. Leaving me as the sole member of the Allies…" She simply smiles at the duo who just cry against their better control "Ooooooh! Look how handsome my little man grew up to be! This is just to much for me!"

"M-Moooom...hehe…~"

"And Katy! Such a beautiful young lady you grew to be! You're just gorgeous!"

"A-Ahahaww...s-stop it…~"

"I'm so proud of the two of you! You look like you both handled yourselves greatly!" She grabs the two of them in a huge hug, the duo waste no time hugging back "Hey but wait a sec, this isn't our house." she gasps "Are you two LIVING together?!"

"W-Well uh...y-yeah…"

"E-Eheh yeah we kinda are…"

Now it's her turn to cry "Oh this is such a beautiful thing, the fact that you two are now in a relationship together is probably the cherry on top of the cake for me."

"Heheh yeah-...wait...WAIT!" Both immediately try to clear the mistake.

"M-MOM W-WE'RE NOT MARRIED OR ANYTHING!.."

"N-NO! W-WE'RE JUST ROOMING TOGETHER IS ALL!"

("Oy vey, this is just to hilarious.") Ma-san falls onto her back laughing.

"I-I think it's a bit to awkward for my liking…" Lammy rubs her arms, but not for the reason she just stated.

"L-LOOK! S-See? W-We have other roommates!"

Mama Rappa simply notices the other two "Oh dear...Parappa I didn't raise you to be this kind of person!"

"MOM IT'S NOT THAT EITHER!..."

After a bit of hectic explaining the point gets across, they however had to explain...recent bad events.

"Ah…"

"Y-Yeah…"

"It's not like you to let things get to you in that manner...then again, it hasn't really happened often for you to steel yourself against…"

"I'm sorry…"

"It's fine, I'm just glad your friends helped you when they did! It would've killed me to see my son that way…"

"Heh...yeah…"

"You two are Ma-san and Lammy then correct."

"Y-Yes t-that's me!..."

("Right here!")

Mama Rappa simply looks at Ma-san.

("Oh right…") "Yes I'm Ma-san"

"Sorry I couldn't understand you dear!..."

"I get that alot, it's fine."

"Ok so...you've fully healed...both physically and emotionally right?"

"Yeah! It's thanks to everyone, but Katy most of all."

"Atta girl! I knew he could count on you!"

"Ohohoh stop…~" She bashfully plays with her hair.

"I hope Parappa is at the very least behaving himself around you three!"

"M-MOM SERIOUSLY?! H-Have SOME faith in me!..."

The trio simply laugh and reply in unison "He's behaving!...for now~"

"H-Hey!..."

She understands the joke, but decides to play along "Is that sooooo?"

"Y-You don't actually believe them do you!"

"One boy, in an apartment with four nice girls around his age? Believing you is really hard right about now."

"W-Whyyy!..." The four simply laugh "Of course…probably should've seen you were all messing with me."

"Lighten up Parappa! You'd think you'd be more cheery seeing me back."

"I am…,but I know you'll just leave again in the end anyway…"

"Oh...hm…" She ponders "Well, i'd like to rest in peace...buuuuut…." she places one hand over Parappa's chest and her other on Katy's.

"U-Uh…"

"Mrs. Rappa what are you-" once she removes her hands, a white light is left in their chests.

"If you two ever wanna talk to me, you just have to be together and just call for me, and I'll arrive!" They smile and nod.

"Now how do you know of Allies of the Funk? Last thing I ever would want you two to know about is that war…"

"We kinda found out through Mushi's posters…"

"Mushi?...Oh the MC at Club Fun. I understand now. Well, judging by your hat. You've immortalized all the other groups. And I think they're all happy. Even the jerks, although you'll never get them to admit that!"

"We noticed...man the Ravens were just soooo….blegh…."

"Yeah they were sadists pretty much, but it's thanks to them we have music." she rubs her chin "But I mean...Skyhigh, Dragonhaven, Cruisin' Blues and Flambe weren't exactly...different...they were also jerks and everybody somehow got along with each other! Just goes to show how silly everyone was for fighting over music! And I'm just glad you four didn't grow up to end up like any of them."

"On that topic! Thanks to an idea Parappa brought up! We're a group of our own now!"

"Oh?"

"Well we still need to finalize somethings, and we're still our individual things as well. But we're now the little group of Leavin' to Believin'!"

"Oh now that's a sweet name."

"Isn't it?" Katy gets behind Lammy and pushes her forward "She thought of it!"

"K-Katy!..."

"What? Take the credit!"

"Okok...I just don't...think a name I picked is all that s-special…" Lammy simply looks to the floor.

Mama Rappa lifts up Lammy's head "Dear you should have more confidence in yourself! If your close friends say it's a great name, then doesn't that give you enough proof?" Lammy doesn't reply, at least not immediately. She then nods with a smile on her face, then takes a deep breath.

"Sometimes it's hard for me to have any sort of faith in myself. I rarely, if ever, see what they all see in me, but at the same time I'm super happy they see something in me at all!" Katy nearly crushes Lammy in a hug.

"Of course we see you that way Lammy! Cause you're just that amazing!" Parappa then joins in on the hug.

"Exactly, like I always say, you're amazing in many ways, and are constantly proving me right!" Ma-san then joins in, completely smashing the wind out of Lammy's lungs.

"You may be meek here and there at times, but you always pull through!"

"Thanks!...but...please….let…..go….c-can't….breathe…." They notice and quickly let go.

"Sorry Lammy!"

"Y-Yeah my bad! Kinda got over sentimental!..."

"Eh, I purposely went and hugged as hard as I could."

"See dear? Doesn't this give you the motivation to see it for yourself."

Lammy was still struggling to catch her breath, so her reply was simply a thumbs up.

"Good!...well now it's time for me to take my leave. I'll see you all when next you call me! And thank you all for keeping those oldies memories alive! Even me!" rather than go into his hat like the rest, she dives into Parappa himself!

"W-Whaaa- that feels cold!..." He shakes himself like a dog shaking off water "Well, this was an immerseful experience! And it showed a lot about the old guys! They were somewhat nice...just coaxed into doing the wrong thing...and I even got to see mom again! That totally erased any negativity Skyhigh or the Ravens left!"

"I'll say!"

("Your mom certainly is entertaining.")

"A-And really nice…~"

"Yeah, glad to see she still is!...but man was that exhausting…"

"No kidding…"

"I'm pretty much ok."

("You fainted, twice. Of course you're decently rested!")

"I think it's best we all hit the hay after tonight, to much emotional release for my liking..."

"I'm gonna stay awake for a bit longer. Don't feel sleepy. So I might actually just stay in my room and tune my guitar."

The trio leave Parappa's room to do their own thing while Parappa simply looks at his new decked out hat and sighs.

"I'm glad I finally finished...but man that was heavy on me..." he places a hand on his chest, he feels the cold sensation again, but it quickly disperses "But something good came out of it~..." he hops onto his bed "Well tomorrow we gotta clean that pond again so I better sleep now to wake up as early as I can." His eyes refuse to close "Oooooooh I just can't sleep!..."


Lammy simply sits in her room, trying to tune her guitar for a good few seconds before giving up.

"Man that was something...abuelito was such a contrast to what I expected which was nice, learning about Katy, Ma-san and Parappa's heritage was also a fun treat...but man I wish I could have a spine for once when it came to being involved...they believe I can and here I am just...all a mess…" she places her guitar back in the case "Ohhh...all this makes my stomach hurt…" She just flops onto her bed "I'm pathetic…" as she body slammed her bed, she caused all the stuff that was lined all about it to plop into the air and disperse. Except for the hat that Parappa gave her, which lands directly on top of her head "Hah...what are the odds of that happening." She adjusts the beanie to sit properly on her head "It's funny...I feel calmer with this on...as if I was holding my guitar in my hands, and yet it feels more effective than that...of course I can't just waltz everywhere with this on! People would get the wrong idea…" She reclines back onto the bed.

But maybe I'd like that? She recalls Parappa slumping in from work today and what he brought up.

"Paula's certainly lucky…" Why am I jealous of that? It's not like they're actually dating...or that I have a shot with him… she sighs "And Katy's also lucky with Parappa's mom thinking they have a shot!...But I also feel bad since Katy doesn't like Parappa that way." Which is nice since she IS trying to help me get together with him….but...does she also like him? Her reaction was rather odd when both her grandmother and Parappa's mother brought it up... Nah...she wouldn't be helping me if she did. And of course she'd react that way! Who wouldn't when it comes to love?... "I know I always would...heh." She pulls the beanie over her head to hide her own blush and embarrassment, no one is there, but it's become instinct to her at this point. "Ohhhh…I really am a mess…" She fixes the beanie and just sighs "Maybe I should get some sleep...It'd probably help me air out my thoughts...actually wait!...I have to help the others at that Pond tomorrow!...Yikes!...can't believe I almost forgot!...I'll just set my alarm to wake me up earlier to make up for it...there!" She rests her head on her pillow, attempting to sleep, but quickly notices she forgot to remove the beanie "Whoops, gotta take this off." As she grabs it, she stops herself "Maybe…just for tonight…"

Who knows, maybe i'll dream up something nice this way…~
