CHAPTER 11: Clawford's appreciation
Klonoa and Huepow came back to the reception of the Dream Arena as quickly as they could after the fight. Klonoa and Huepow waited there.
Kio: Klonoa!
Klonoa: Oh, hey Kio.
Kio: That was amazing! Really, i've never seen someone so strong and amazing before!
Klonoa: O-oh, thanks...
Huepow (In Ring): Really, Klonoa... you said that you don't consider yourself strong, right?
Klonoa: Uhm... yeah...
Huepow got out of the Wind Ring.
Huepow: Honestly... that kick of yours wasn't what you should consider 'weak.' In fact, the strength of you wielding the Wind Sword was kinda impressive as well. And you pulling off that Tornado Attack!
Klonoa (Thinking): How come i can all of a sudden do these things...? Did i really get stronger the past few years i've been... gone?
Klonoa: Huepow... Thanks.
?: Hey!
Klonoa: Hmm?
Someone appeared from the other side of the hall. It was Clawford.
Clawford: Hey... Klonoa, i feel like i should apologize for that just now. It's been in my family for countless generations… and i've been fed up to be like this.
Clawford looked pretty disappointed in himself. Klonoa put his hand on Clawford's shoulder.
Klonoa: Hey, now... it's okay. Don't worry.
Klonoa, Kio and Huepow walked out of the Dream Arena.
Clawford: H-hey! But... but what purpose do i have? What can i even do?!
Klonoa looked at Clawford rather... worried. And then rather happy.
Klonoa: Clawford… I want you to help us. Fight with us for something actually worthy! Come with us, we need to save phantomile!
Clawford: Y-you mean it? You really want me to join you? The Dream Traveler asked me... to help him?
Klonoa: Mm-hmm~ Come on, let's go back to Jugpot.
Clawford: R-right!
Clawford joined the group.
Klonoa: Huepow! Rupurudu!
Huepow entered the Wind Ring.
Klonoa: Let's run as quick as we can. The King of Jugpot's waiting for us.
Kio: Okay!
Clawford: Right!
Klonoa, Kio and Clawford started running back to Jugpot as quickly as they could, because nighttime was almost coming up.
Back over in the strange, dark realm...
Joka: ...
Moo: Moo!
Joka: ...So it's true... That brat's officially back...
Moo: Moo...
Joka put on his black cape.
Joka: Phantomile, huh... nothing but bad memories about it. Well, this time, i'll make all of them suffer… Lord Ghadius, you will not be disappointed!
Joka disappeared.
