CHAPTER 26: Bazookatz and Pisutolo gang up!
As the group was flying just above the snowy mountains of Mira-Mira in the plane, the engine started to break down.
Leorina: Kch...! Not now, not now...!
Klonoa: What's happening?
Popka: Ayie?!
Leorina: Guys, this landing is gonna be a bit rough, but it's gonna be okay! Trust me!
Lolo: O-okay!
Leorina tried to land her plane onto the mountains. It was an incredibly rough landing, but Leorina was just able to pull it off. The plane stopped in the snowy mountains.
Popka: WHEW...! Did we make it?
Leorina: Urgh... damn. why now, of all times?
Leorina got out of the plane to check the engine. The plane's engine seemed to be entirely smoking.
Leorina: Sorry guys, but it seems like the engine just took a giant dump on itself!
Klonoa: Hm?
Leorina: I'd like to help you three on getting the Element, but if i don't fix the engine, we'll never be able to get out of here.
Klonoa: I understand...
Lolo: But, but we could just wait here until it's fixed, right?
Leorina: I think it's better to go on without me. It's gonna at least take an hour or two to fix this mess.
Lolo: I see...
Klonoa: Well... we'll be going now, then.
Leorina: Look out for members of the Shinigami Gang!
Klonoa: We will!
Klonoa, Lolo and Popka started to walk on the snowy mountains downward. It was incredibly cold on the mountains of Mira-Mira.
Lolo: Klonoa...
Klonoa: Hm...?
Lolo: I-i'm soo cold...
Klonoa: M-me, too...
Klonoa puts his arm around her slowly. Lolo blushed and smiled. Klonoa looked at Lolo, and blushed a bit, too.
Lolo (Thinking): K-klonoa~
Popka: Hm... the cold isn't bothering me. Must suck for ya guys...
After walking for quite a while, they eventually arrived at a mountain cliff. In the distance, they could see the town that was close to the snowboarding route they took last time.
Klonoa: That town...
Lolo: It's been a few years since we actually been here... let's stop at the town and ask them.
Klonoa: Mm!
Just as Klonoa, Lolo and Popka were on their way downwards, Klonoa noticed something coming from behind near the mountain cliff...
Klonoa: Lolo, Popka! Watch out!
Lolo and Popka ran over to one of the trees close by. A rocket was shot at Klonoa's back. Klonoa was able to jump away at the moment the rocket tried to hit him. As Klonoa landed back at the ground, he turned towards the direction the rocket was shot.
Klonoa: W-who goes there?!
When Klonoa turned towards them, there was one wolf on a grey hoverbike, and one on a blue. Klonoa recognized the wolf on the blue bike.
Klonoa: Hovering Motorcycles... Pisutolo?
Pisutolo: Hehehe, you actually remembered the name. Gud thing, man! Now, get ready to die by both me and Bazookatz! The Shinigami Gang rules over everyone!
Klonoa: Bazookatz...?
Bazookatz: Tch... just shut up, Pisutolo...
Bazookatz shot a rocket at Klonoa with his rocket launcher, which he dodged by jumping high enough in the air. As Klonoa landed, Pistutolo pulled out his twin pistols. This time, Klonoa doesn't even seem to flinch from seeing them. He just stood still, with some kind of fearless presence around him.
Pisustolo: HEAD-ON!
Lolo: K-Klonoa!
Pistutolo shot two bullets at Klonoa's chest. But just before they hit them...
Pisutolo: W-WHAT?!
Klonoa actually caught them with his fingers!
Klonoa: Ehehe... just a bit too slow!
Klonoa threw both bullets into the fuel tank, which made the motorcycle explode and Pisutolo fall off the mountain cliff.
Pisutolo: AAAAAAAHHHHH!
Lolo (Thinking): K-Klonoa's become so strong…~!
Popka (Thinking): That Klonoa... ain't normal, man!
Klonoa: Pff...
Bazookatz: Such a fool, that Pisutolo... But enough about that.
Bazookatz got off his grey motorcycle.
Bazookatz: Finally an opponent worthy of my time... Klonoa, wasn't it?
Klonoa: ...Yeah...?
Bazookatz: Hehe, well... let's see if you can survive my way of fighting!
Bazookatz grabbed a second rocket launcher in his other hand. He was able to carry two at the same time! Bazookatz shot a rocket at Klonoa, and he jumped in the air.
Bazookatz: I've got you now!
Bazookatz shot a rocket with his other rocket launcher while Klonoa was in the air. The rocket was going towards him.
Bazookatz (Thinking): It's over!
But... Klonoa kicked back the rocket which made it fly back at Bazookatz.
Bazookatz (Thinking): W-WHAT DID HE JUST-?!
The rocket's explosion made Bazookatz fall off the mountain cliff as well. As Klonoa turned back towards where Lolo and Popka were, he grabbed his Air Board.
Klonoa: ...Bazookatz actually seemed pretty tough... Hey, Lolo! Popka! Let's go to town!
Lolo: Hmm... Alright~!
Popka: Let's go!
The three went to the town down below. Will they be able to get the final element?
