" Lie him down on this bed " said Hello Nurse, " So what is the matter with him? "
" One of those poisonous flowers got to him " said Ozma.
" There are many poisonous flowers that grow in Nirvana Valley. Which one of them got Goku? "
" The purple one that shoots poisonous barbs ".
" Oh! No! "
" What do you mean Oh! No! "
" Um, well ".
" Out with it! "
" Those are the most poisonous flowers in the world! There is no known cure! "
" That means there is no hope for Goku! " said Jasmine.
" Not exactly. I know someone who can help you ".
" Who? "
" Stay right here and I will show you ".
Hello Nurse went into the next room and called for someone. He is someone very important to this story. When Hello Nurse returned, she had him with her.
" This is Gohan " she said, " I'm sure he will be able to help you ".
" So you are Gohan " said Ozma, " Goku was right about you. You are handsome ".
" Thank you " Gohan replied, " Hello Nurse said you needed my help for something. What is it? "
" We need to know where to find a starpiece " said Peach, " and we also need to know what can cure Goku of this deadly poison and where we can find it ".
" Starpiece? Never heard of it. And besides, if you've come this far, then there is no place left to look ".
" What do you mean? " said Tails.
" This is where the land ends. Why do you think this whole area is called Land's End? "
" I dunno. Why? "
" Because. So if you are looking for a starpiece, the only place left to look is "up" ".
" Up? Where would that be? "
" It's a place called Nimbus Land, which is located in the Sky Sanctuary zone. It's floating above Nirvana Valley. You probably have seen Sky Sanctuary before, but you might not have heard of Nimbus Land ".
" Tell us more! " said Jasmine.
" Okay. Nimbus Land is a beautiful kingdom surrounded by fluffy white clouds. The inside of the palace is even more beautiful. They have fountains and blue carpeting. They also have gold walls and mirrored ceilings. If it's a starpiece you're looking for, you might wanna go up there and have a look ".
" How do we get there? " said Ozma.
" You have to climb a beanstalk " said Gohan, " and you have to find your way through a maze of clouds and fight many powerful monsters ".
" Gimme a break! " said Andrea, " we can't go somewhere that dangerous! "
" She's right! " said Peach, " we'll be hammered, we'll be gouged, we'll be scratched, burned, CHAFED!"
" You must come with us " said Ozma.
" I can't " said Gohan.
" Why not? There must be a logical explanation ".
" Because my land has a rule that says you have to battle against me in order for me to go with you. You see, I am part of a very special class of warriors called "lost warriors" ".
" Lost warriors? " said Tails, " who are they? "
" They are very special warriors. They are faster, stronger, and more agile than your average shmoe, but they are so rare that there is only one lost warrior for every country. I'm the lost warrior for Land's End ".
" That still doesn't explain why you can't come with us " said Peach ".
" Oh, but it does! You see, it's not that easy to get a lost warrior to join you. Like I said before, you have to enter a battle with them, and you have to win. Only if you do that will I join you ".
" Sounds kind of drastic of you ask me " said Jasmine.
" Well I think it's a wonderful idea, " said Andrea, " a good battle is just what we need to perk up this sorry looking group of warriors ".
" So where do we go to fight? "
" We go to the princess's battle ring ".
" You mean me? " said Peach.
" Not you! It's a different princess ".
" You mean me? " said Jasmine.
" No, no, no! It's someone else. Her name is Arwin. She is the princess of the elves. We have to go to her so she can prepare us all to fight ".
