11:37 P.M.
Lunatea, Realm of Dreams

The airship left the portal of the sky and soon stabilized as it touched down near Volk, the Kingdom of Discord. Klonoa, Lolo, and Guntz, along with Ness and his group.

"This was where the nightmare forces were last seen. They must be using the city's civil war as cover so they can pull out whatever they may be planning." Leorina said. "I've got to get back to Hyuponia to make sure the fortifications there are still up. Good luck."

The cabbit boy nodded. "You can count on us Leorina!" He said.

Leorina smiled a bit. 'As energetic as always...' She thought to herself before she turned the airship and headed for Hyuponia, the former Kingdom of Sorrow.

"Alright," Ness said. "Now, we probably have a limited amount of time before whatever this nightmare brigade has in store. So we should probably get moving and find out where they are before we're too late."

Lolo nodded. "I have a feeling where they might be... but we need to lay low when we're travelling through here. The civil war here has been known to take innocent lives."

"Just have them stay behind me," Guntz retorted, arming his double crimson pistols. "I'll get them through here safe."

Lolo worriedly nodded. "o...kay..." She said hesitantly.


11:56 P.M.
Powerhouse Citadel, Volk, Lunatea

"Now then, what is it exactly that you need with the citadel's generator?" Ghadius had asked. "It seems rather improbable that you would need the city's generator for reviving your 'former master'."

"Rest assured Ghadius, this plan is near fool-proof." Porky said as Klonoa and Ness hid behind the large generator in the room. "With the power of the Chaos Emerald, we can revive my former master and then this world will TRULY bow down before their leader!"

"..." Ghadius seemed to remain silent. "Very well, if you know what you are doing, I suppose I will leave this up to you." He said. "Now, I' will be off to rally my nightmare forces. Make sure nothing happens of this while I am gone."

Porky nodded. "Anyone tries anything funny, they will only get a TASTE of what the Pigmask Army is capable of!" He said, clenching his fist. With that, Ghadius vanished into the floor. Soon Porky got a message from one of his soldiers, and it was clear he was irritated about something. He then exited with his spider-mech through a window.

"Looks like they won't be back for a while," Ness said. "Let's just grab the Emerald and get the heck outta here before they come back."

"Hold up." Klonoa said. "We can't grab the gem."

"Why not?" Ness asked. "Now seems like the perfect time."

"If you grab the gem now while the generator is still on, you'll kill yourself from the high voltage." Klonoa said. "We gotta shut off both of the secondary generators before we can get at that generator for the emerald."

"Well, where are they?" Ness asked.

"One is up by the city's train station," Klonoa said. "And the other is underground in the sewers. Once we shut both down, the generator's power level should be lowered to a safe enough level that we should get into it."

Ness nodded. "Which one are we going after first?"

"Let's get the worst one out of the way and head for the train station." Klonoa stated, standing up. "The one underground should be easier to get to when we're not under heavy fire."

Ness nodded. "Then let's get moving. We're running out of time."


12:15 A.M.
Volkan City, Volk, Lunatea

Bullets spewed and ricocheted off multiple surfaces as Ness and Klonoa made a mad dash across the city. A building collapsed and Ness quickly slid out of the way before the building came down.

"How much fire does this city come under per day?!" Ness yelled over the roaring of the firing.

"On average, quite the amount!" Klonoa yelled back. "I've heard a lot of discussion about the other kingdoms planning on intervening with the civil war!"

"They better make up their minds fast, or there won't be a kingdom to intervene!" Paula called over the roar of the fighting. "Think Guntz and the others have it easier?"

"Doubtful," Lolo called. "That second generator is pretty deep underground, I don't know if we can make it in time!"

"Have faith!" Klonoa said. "We can make it! I know it!"

Lolo nodded, leaping over a twisted mailbox. "I just hope the others are okay..."


12:23 A.M.
Volkan Sewers, Volk, Lunatea

"Figures," Guntz grumbles, taking the elevator down into the underground Volkan Factory. "I could have been the one to go after the surface generator, but Nooooooo, had to be the two lovebirds."

"Guntz, please, if you would," Jeff said, straightening his glasses. "Try to refrain from homicidal thoughts against your friends while we try to get this generator fiasco sorted out."

Guntz rolled his eyes. "Whatever," he said. "As long as I get a piece of Ghadius at the end of all this I'll be satisfied."

Pu rolled his eyes at this statement. "True warriors never got anywhere with rage, Guntz." He said philosophically. "Just calm down, rest assured Ghadius will be stopped."

"That I can guarantee," Guntz said, arming his blaster. "Whether or not he'll be in one piece, I don't know."

"Let's just get this generator shut off," Jeff said. "Otherwise there won't BE a world to save."


12:25 A.M.
Volkan Skyline, Volk, Lunatea

"C'mon, the generator is just further!" Klonoa said, as he leapt from rooftop to rooftop. Ness was right on his heels, while Lolo and Paula struggled to keep up.

"Klonoa, w-wait up!" Lolo said as she tripped over one of the roof vents. Klonoa quickly rushed back and scopped her up in his arms and got out of there just before another bomb landed nearby.

"Don't worry, I got you!" Klonoa said, rushing along the rooftops with Lolo in his arms. "We're almost there, just hold on!"

Soon after a quick leap, the four soon were on top of a train, headed straight for the central station. "There it is guys!" Ness said, pointing ahead to a large building. "There's the station! Let's shut the generator down!"


12:33 P.M.

Central Station, Volk, Lunatea

"Alright, so where exactly is this generator located?" Ness asked as the four entered the ruined station.

"It should be up top," Klonoa said, leaping up some collapsed debris in the center. "Wait here guys, I'll get it down."

"Wait, did he say he'll 'get it down'?" Paula asked, looking worried.

"Don't worry, you'll see." Lolo reassured her. Sure enough, a hatch opened up in the ceiling, and a large mechanism lowered out of the ceiling, Klonoa standing at the base.

"Pretty impressive, huh?" He called from the platform. "You wouldn't think a constantly warring city would have somethin' as advanced as this, but man they managed to find a way to do so!"

Soon, the mechanism reached ground level, and it was apparent that this was the generator. Various gauges were reading that it was overloading, so they had to shut this thing down fast or it would blow.

"Ok, get to the other three switches around this thing." Lolo said. "We need to shut all the switches off simultaneously or this thing won't shut off." Ness and Paula nodded before getting to the other side of the machine.

"Ok, on three, ok?" Klonoa said. "One.. Two... Three!"

All four switches were pulled simultaneosly, as the whirring of the machine died down.

"Alright, that's one generator down," Klonoa said. "Now we just need Guntz to hold up his end of the mission..."


12:35 P.M.

Underground Foundry, Volk, Lunatea

"Is this the generator room?" Pu asked as they arrived at the deepest room of the foundry.

"Looks like it," Jeff said, straightening his glasses. "Now, where's the generator?"

"Up top," Guntz said, scaling the room. "I'll get it down."

After a short climb, the generator was lowered down to ground level. "Alright, let's shut this hunk of scrap down." Guntz said, jumping off the platform. "Just pull the three levers and this thing'll shut down."

Jeff and Pu nodded, then went to the respective levers on the machine. All three were pulled on the machine at the same time, and the machine shut down.

"Alright, let's meet back up with the others." Guntz said. "That should be the last generator."
