I know, I know, it's been WAY TOO LONG! I've been side-tracked by other things and haven't been typing too much, but I finally have this chapter of PaRappa vs. VaRavva up and running for you, the fans, to enjoy. So, I hope you do!

--

The sky was getting pretty cloudy now, as the now slightly psychotic PaRappa looked through the deep forest part of PaRappa town. "I will….find you…." he muttered to himself. "For VaRavva…and everyone else…"

PaRappa heard the girls in the distance. They were heading back to the outskirts of PaRappa town, starting to look for more help if possible. "I have you now…." PaRappa quietly said

VaRavva was heading back to his room, looking to get some rest. His head was hurting from all of this confusion, learning that PaRappa didn't have what they were looking for. As he laid down, he heard someone trying to climb his window. "What? Who's there?" he asked. He looked out the window and saw who it was: Caula. "WHAT?! What do you want?!" he asked her slightly angry. "Shhh. Please just give me a chance to talk to you. Privately please. Let's go outside to talk. Please?" she pleaded into VaRavva's eyes. At first, he was going to complain, but something came over him…"Sigh OK then. Let's go." he tells Caula.

Katy, Sally Anne, and Sunny were walking down the still dreary streets. "I think it's pointless girls. We're doomed…." Sunny said in a sad voice. "Don't say that! PaRappa would never give up! So WE can't give up either!" Katy reminded her. Sally Anne heard a noise nearby. "Hey, what was that?" she asked the other girls. They listened again and heard the noise once more. Suddenly, PaRappa comes running towards them. "AHHH!" they all screamed and ran away. PaRappa began chasing them as they headed for the park….

"Listen to me VaRavva." Caula began to say to him. "Don't you remember the good times we had? All the fun we had hanging out together before Xunny came along? We planted flowers, swam at the pool in VaRavva town, and you even sang to me once. I thought it was the greatest song ever. Don't you remember?" she pleaded. VaRavva thought to himself about all of this but it looked as if his head was hurting again…

"No…" he said, though Caula could tell this wasn't true. "I know you do….She was just using you to take over the town. She only cares about herself. I know deep down inside your still nice in ways…Please! Remember back! PaRappa was NEVER trying to steal your thunder! You were a great performer!" she says to VaRavva. "Look I….I just don't know if I was ever any good…" VaRavva says. "THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN BE SUCCESSFUL! OTHERWISE…I'M A FAILURE!" "NO IT'S NOT!" Caula yells at him. Then, she did something she couldn't believe. Neither could VaRavva: She slapped him. "YOU AREN'T A FAILURE! YOU NEVER WERE…Until you met Xunny maybe…"

"Look…" "Can't you remember VaRavva? I know you do! Xunny is evil! They all are evil! You will never succeed with them! You have to be good for people to like you! People will never like you for being evil! It's horrible!" Caula tells VaRavva. "No one did in VaRavva town…" VaRavva said. "FORGET VARAVVA TOWN! Look, I say we never go back to VaRavva town. What's the point of living in a town that doesn't appreciate you for who you are and likes you as a punk? I always liked you the way you are but never like THIS! A complete jerk!"

VaRavva was downtrodden by Caula's words. He began to get angry…but stopped. "I…know…but what can I do about it?" he asked. "Leave! You don't need them!" Caula tells him. "I guess your right….who am I kidding, You ARE right! I don't need them…at all!" "Come with me and the others and get rid of Xunny once and for all! Come on! Let's go!" she grabbed VaRavva's hand but he wouldn't budge…. "I can't….I just can't do that…" and he begins to walk away from his fortress and Caula all together…

"But…." Caula started but just couldn't finish to try and convince him to stay, knowing it was probably pointless…So Caula began to sneak pass the fortress to try and find the others…

PaRappa kept chasing Katy and Sally Anne. "Quick! Up here!" Katy said to Sally Anne and they ran up a tree. PaRappa started to bark at the tree until he heard a soft voice in another part of the park. It sounded like Sunny. It sounded like she was crying…

"What is this?" he approached the crying girl. "What's your problem? Why are you…" but PaRappa couldn't finish his sentence because Sunny hugged him "Please stop! No more! I hate to see you like this! This isn't you! This isn't the PaRappa I love! This is just a monster! A horrible brainwashed monster!" Sunny kept crying and hugging PaRappa. "Sunny! NO! DON'T!" Katy started, but Sally Anne stopped her. "No wait Katy. Look!" PaRappa tried and tried to shake Sunny off of himself as best as he could, but something came over him…

The darkness in his heart. It was changing and leaving, and PaRappa was becoming his old self once again. He saw what had happened and the realization came over him… "OH NO! WHAT HAVE I DONE!" he was back to normal. "Sunny no! Please don't cry! I'm sorry!" He kept apologizing for over a hour until Sunny stopped him" PaRappa calm down it's ok! I know you didn't mean to! Girls come down from that tree! PaRappa's back to normal!"

Sally Anne came back down and hugged both of them. "Thank goodness!" she said. Katy came down and threw a rock at PaRappa's head. "OW! What was that for!?" "For chasing us!" she said to him. She threw another at Sunny. "OW! What was THAT for?!" "That was for not coming to rescue me!"

Sally Anne got in between the three. "Look! We don't have time for arguments now. We need to stop VaRavva! Come on let's go!" They started to head off for the VaRavva's house, but they ran into Caula before they got far.

"WE FOUND YOU!" PaRappa said in excitement. "Yes, but we need to talk guys. Listen…VaRavva isn't the enemy here…There's something I need to tell you guys and you have to understand this story carefully." Caula began to talk to PaRappa and the girls about the good times she had hanging with VaRavva, about him being good, about how he was tricked into joining Xunny and becoming a couple with her, and the conversation Caula had with VaRavva back at the fortress…

"And that's pretty much it…" she finished. "Well, what do we do now?" Sally Anne asked. "Without VaRavva around, his 'friends' shouldn't be much of a problem anymore I would think…" "Still, there's so MANY of them!" Katy said. "Well, I may have 1 way of stopping them…" PaRappa said. He mentioned the dream he had that night where he learned about his 'gift'. "Even with that power, there's still too many…" Sunny said. "Do we have any OTHER choices?" PaRappa asked them. They all agreed there weren't. So they began to head for the fortress…

There, Xunny was looking for VaRavva, but found no signs of him. "Where can he be!? I guess I'll have to finish this myself. Come on guys!" she said as she summoned Rammy, Na-Zan, Raty, Natt, and JP into the room. "The time to end this nonsense is coming closer and closer….all we have to do is wait…." she smirked
