CHAPTER 10: DREAM ARENA - The Honored Jugpot Soldier.

Huepow and Klonoa were sitting in their room taking a break.

Klonoa: ...Something's definitely odd. Doesn't it seem like that Gold Armored Moo was definitely sent to specifically go after me?

Huepow: Yeah... I've got a bad feeling about what's to come...

Klonoa: We better find Clawford as quick as possible and get out of here. I don't want to cause any harm to anyone.

Huepow: Yeah...

Klonoa walked over to the computer panel and accepted to go another round.

Klonoa: I hope that we'll find this Clawford sometime soon...

Klonoa was teleported into the Arena. It's opponent was also getting teleported into the Arena. To Klonoa's surprise... It was what seemed like a Jugpot Soldier!

Kio: Wait, isn't that-?!

Klonoa: O-oy... Are you by any chance... Clawford?

?: ...! The Dream Traveler...

Klonoa: Please tell me!

Clawford: ...Yes. Why...?

Klonoa: I've been waiting to meet you...

Clawford: The Dream Traveler... wanted to... see me? Me…

Clawford raised it's Water Sword.

Clawford: I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THIS ALL MEANS! You came here to finish me off, huh... WELL, I WILL NOT LET YOU! I will make Jugpot proud… I WILL NEVER LOSE!

Klonoa: H-Hold up! Wai-!

Announcer: This fight is between Klonoa the Dream Traveler and Clawford, the Proud Knight of Jugpot! Ready... Go!

Clawford immediately charged at Klonoa with his Water Sword.

Klonoa (Thinking): Manya... this could be a disaster...

Klonoa: Huepow! Wind Sword!

Klonoa activated the Wind Ring's Wind Sword. Clawford tried to attack Klonoa with the Water Sword, but Klonoa was able to block the sword. Klonoa then tried to attack Clawford, but Clawford blocked his attack as well. Both then tried to attack each other, but swords clashed, and jumped back.

Klonoa: Oy! Can't we just talk about it?

Clawford: No way! If you want some of me, then come to me face-to-face!

Klonoa: But that's not what i'm here fo-

Clawford held out it's other hand and seemed to be charging some kind of magic attack.

Huepow (Thinking): What's he doing...?

Clawford: Have some of this! WATER SPLASH! (Frozen water particles, used as projectile)

Clawford threw a wide range of magical hard water particles towards Klonoa.

Klonoa (Thinking): Whoa...!

Just before they were about to hit Klonoa, Klonoa immediately pulled a Tornado Attack to deflect the Water Splash.

Clawford (Thinking): Kch...! He's good... I don't think attacking from a distance is gonna help too much...

Clawford: Alright, Let's settle this with our swords!

Klonoa: B-but... but i-

Clawford immediately charged at Klonoa yet again.

Klonoa (Thinking): Sigh... I just wanna talk to him...

Klonoa activates the Wind Sword again, and this time charges at Clawford as well. Klonoa and Clawford's blades clashed pretty hard. Clawford saw a moment to slash his Water Sword into Klonoa's face. Klonoa was barely able to dodge the blade. But it seems like it slighty hit him. A bit of blood fell from Klonoa's face, but it was barely anything.

Clawford: ...! Oh, sh-

Klonoa immediately slashed Clawford pretty hard while he was still wide open.

Klonoa: TORIYAAH!

Clawford: AAAAAHHH!

Clawford fell down, and seemed pretty wounded. Clawford couldn't stand up anymore since his legs were hit pretty hard by it as well. Clawford was almost coughing blood.

Clawford: This is gonna be the end of me… Clawford, the Disgraceful Soldier in my family tree… who failed what my father, grandfather and ancestors could...!

Klonoa slowly walked up to Clawford while he seemed helpless.

Klonoa: ...Hey...

Clawford: ...I know. Honestly, i've accepted my fate. Do what you must, Dream Traveler... finish me off.

Klonoa: Wh-whoa-wait, what?!

Klonoa rectracted the Wind Sword.

Klonoa: You think i came here to kill you?

Clawford: ...?

Klonoa: No! Don't worry, Clawford. Come and talk with me outside of the Arena about it. We need your help.

Clawford: O-oh... sure...

Clawford (Thinking): Man, i thought this was gonna be the end of me… Whew.

Klonoa: Come on, i'll help you back up.

Announcer: What's this?! It seems like both have given up the battle! This fight ends with a draw!

Klonoa was teleported back into his room.
