I'm back with a new chapter! How will the team escape this dilemma?
Chapter 15: Mountain of Dreams, Giants' clash
The five heroes finally landed on the Dream World after an intense escape. Dreamy Luigi and Dreamy Mondo already are waiting for them.
"That was a close one" Mario panted, "I suggest we stay here for a while until the music stops" Makoto says.
"The best option for now is to law here for while" the prince suggested. "You're right, then we have to explore the place to make sure it's safe to stay here" Kyoko points out.
The team started walking around when a teen emerged from the portal but quickly hid from the others.
Suddenly a rumble made the team tumble, "WHAT THE FUCK?!" Dreamy Mondo shouts as the rest turn around and drop their jaws.
The Dream portal is disappearing!
At the Real World
Starlow began to panic as the portal closed and began to think for the best.
At the Dream World
"Luigi and Mondo's sleep must have become so profound that the portal ceased to be…"
"What can we do?" Kiyotaka muttered, "We explore, and look for a way to open the portal again" Kyoko said.
"Before we do that, dreamy heroes, here's something that will help you" Dreambert says before making the duo glow; "You've gained a brand-new Luiginay and Mondonary Attack: Luiginary and Mondonary Hammer"
With these new power, the team begins their journey.
On their way, they defeated many foes, earning 2050 coins. They made it to another Luiginary and Mondonary work where the dream heroes fused into it and suddenly, the area grew even colder.
At the Real World
"Oh geez… I can't believe the portal closed…" Starlow sighs as she watches over Luigi and Mondo. "What do I do if Mario, Kiyotaka, Makoto, Kyoko and Sakura don't come back…"
Starlow notices Luigi and Mondo shivering, "I wish I could warm them somehow" she sighs before looking at a button near Luigi's head.
She touched it and the platform became warmer.
At the Dream World
The gang stopped shivering as well when the work began to emit heat. "Fascinating, now this can help us in keeping us warm and advancing through the mountain" Makoto smiles.
"I see you say that based on these platforms" Sakura points out at wooden platform supported by water that was frozen before.
"Fantastic! Let's-a go team!" Mario chirps and the team continues their pace. As they conquered more of the mountain, more enemies fell before them and dropped 1000 coins.
The team reaches a snow area with tornados, where Dreambert has an idea and suggest the gang to reshape the Luiginay and Mondonary formation from stack to cone.
With it, the heroes learn the Luiginary and Mondonary, Spin Jump, Hover and Tornado.
These moves makes the team's crusade easier by removing snow and mist.
It doesn't take them long enough to reach the top, where a big surprise is waiting for them.
"The mountain lives! This world never ceases to amaze me!" Taka whistles as the rest look in awe at the giant.
"I think I've found a way to return to the Real World. We make erupt this mount" Kyoko declared.
"Of course! That great amount of energy might be enough for the portal to reopen!" Dreambert agrees.
The gang quickly uses the Luiginary and Mondonary tornado to pop a zit from the mountain's nose. This is met with success… and anger.
"HOW DARE YOU!" the mountain finally woke up but starts to throw punch at the crew.
"We must flee now! Hurry you seven!" the prince panics. The heroes make their escape.
But this turns into chaos when Makoto trips and rolls, hitting Mario, Kyoko, Dreamy Luigi, Sakura, Kiyotaka and Dreamy Mondo. The seven form a giant snowball that helps them roll down faster.
They reach the bottom in no time and just as they think they're safe…
"WATCHA PROBLEM!?" the dream mountain lands and yells at them.
Everyone, even Sakura paralyzes from the looks of the titan, who takes several steps back.
At the Real World
Luigi covers his face with his cap in fear while Mondo's face begins to sweat as the "L" and the cleavage begin to shine.
"You guys must be in trouble again! But now I know what to do" Starlow frowns and touched the shining areas alternatively.
At the Dream World
Several Luiginoids and Mondonoids surround the original dream fighters as the mountain begins to come their way.
All of the other heroes brace for impact when something makes the mountain get knocked back.
Dreamy Luigi and Dreamy Mondo became titans once again.
"Let's do this bro!" Mario shouts and jumps into Luigi, "I'll go with you Mario!" Makoto yells and climbs up was well.
"Another giant battle is upon us! Let's give it our hardest bro!" Kiyotaka salutes and gets up, "The nose might be it's weak point but I need to look further. Mondo, let me check it from your head" Kyoko says and reaches Mondo as well, "A new type of battle will be interesting" Sakura nods and with a single jump, gets into Mondo's hair.
The mountain growls and covers itself.
"This looks impenetrable! Let's find a way to break the stance!" Dreambert shouts and the battle began.
"Got it!" Mondo smirks and uses his hammer to uppercut the mountain, breaking its stance and knocking into its back.
"The nose is the weak point! Let's hit with all we've got!"
"Heroes! Take this: A new Dream Team Attack! Drill Stomp!" Dreambert shouts and casts a spell, enabling the gang to use the attack.
"Let's go!" both fighters yelled and the gang jumps into air.
Kyoko gets on top of the stack with Kiyotaka, Makoto, Mario, Sakura, Dreamy Luigi and Dreamy Mondo below her.
The seven spin around and then stack together and deliver a devastating stomp to the mountain's nose. With excruciating pain, the mountain gets up and begins to launch magma balls as the team.
Luigi and Mondo use their hammers and deflect all the projectiles back to the mount, who takes burning damage and then summons three rock platforms and one mini volcano behind it.
"Leave it to me!" Dreamy Luigi grins and does another Hammer Uppercut to send two platforms into the volcano.
The lava makes the two platforms bounce back at the mount, who then crushes the remaining platform, stunning it again.
"Mondo! Let me teach you a move! Bounce Bros.!" Dreamy Luigi grinned, the biker grins as well and accepts, with the others nodding.
"Hold onto something!" Mario shouts to the others, who comply.
Dreamy Luigi leaps into Dreamy Mondo, who throws him into the air. When Dreamy Luigi is right above him, Mondo leaps into the air to grab him. The two then do a flip and Luigi slams into the enemy with his hands.
Another crushing blow is dealt to the creature, who groans in pain and stays there, dizzy.
"Finish him!" Dreambert yells in a deep voice. "The memories of Shao Kahn still makes me shiver" Mario thought.
The dream heroes jump into space again and grab a giant star. The rest of the fighters leap into it and are tossed back into the surface.
Kiyotaka took alone the navigation this time and finished the mountain by homing the star into the nose.
The mount explodes in a giant burst of stars and drops 700 coins.
Meanwhile at the bottom
The teenage soldier snaps out of the trance she was after watching the Titan's battle. The portal to the Real World suddenly reopens and quickly jumps into it before she is seen by the others.
"Excellent work fighters!" Dreambert praises and then looks at the portal, "The battle made Luigi and Mondo sleep less soundly"
"Then let's-a go back!" Mario jumps, "But what awaits us?" Makoto wonders. "We'll only know by going back. Let us make haste!" Sakura points out.
The team jumps into the portal.
At the Real World
Starlow sighs of relief when she sees the team get out of the portal, "The portal closed. What happened in there?" she asks.
"The Dreambeats made Luigi and Mondo sleep too deeply" the prince replies. "Weird. But also something that was even weirder is that when the portal opened, someone or something jumped out of it but was so fast, I couldn't take a look" Starlow comments.
Kyoko frowns as she starts to have suspicions of that blur when a wing-flap catches the team's attention. In that moment, Luigi and Mondo wake up.
"Wide awake now, are we?" Junser asks. "The Dream Stone has been restored!" Antasma proclaims.
"Impossible!" Dreambert mutters. "Upupupu! Oh really? FEAST ON THIS!" Junser pulls out the mystic object in front of the team.
"This shiny rock will help us plunge this world into Despair!" she mocks the gang. "No one will fall into your Despair!" Makoto shouts but is violently shushed by Antasma's screech.
"Problem is that is not up to you" Junser said with an intellectual tone. "Now we have go, our Despair conquest begins! Weee!" Junser said again with a sweet tone and the two villains took to the skies.
"Everyone is danger! Junser with free wishes? She'll go after any of our friends!" Starlow screams. "We must protect them!" Dreambert shouts.
"Then we have to move our asses quickly if we want to get down this mountain!" Mondo barks.
"Wait! Something stirs in my memory... " Dreambert says before digging up a block from the snow.
"What is that?" Starlow asks. "Kiyotaka, please strike for me" the prince requests. The red-eyed teen nods and hit the block.
Several golden things are then sent flying across the island.
"Warp pipes… a transportation system used in my era. I hid them when we fought Antasma" Dreambert explains.
"Are you kidding me?! Why didn't you mention this EARLIER?!" Starlow angrily chastises him.
"I forgot… I am sorry. In any case, the pipes should be scattered through the island now. As I recall, one is inside that cave" the prince points to a cave in the left.
"And another one lies beneath Pi'illo Castle. But listen, Some pipes won't activate until we use them, so when you see one, use it quickly lest you forget about it" the prince says.
"Well, thanks to Forgetbert, we've been hoofing it around for no reason…" Starlow groans.
Dreambert sighs and the team makes a run for it. They reach the cave and use the pipe.
Not so long after, a soldier jumps into it.
At Pi'illo Castle
Once they arrived and reached the lobby, the team bumped into Hifumi, Sayaka, Leon and Hiro.
"Guys, have you seen Princess Peach?" Makoto asks and then takes a look at Leon "Woah! What happened to you?!"
"Princess Peach? I don't know dude, Sayaka, Hiro and I just got here. As for what happened to me, this idiot fell on top of after strange music began to play. We woke up twenty minutes ago and decided to come back to take a bath, my boxers are filled with sand dudes" Leon explained with a tone of annoyance for what he experienced.
"Don't remind me…" Hiro groans.
"If I may, I think I can answer you where's Princess Peach" Hifumi said, bringing everyone's attention to him.
"She went to Driftwood Shore with Toadsworth and Chihiro. She said something about hiding there until you came back. Just go through Mushrise Park and head southwest" the artist responds.
"Got it!" Mondo snickers. "Now I must return, my Pokemon are almost recovered" Hifumi says and goes back to his room.
"I'll go to my room as well, I need to reorganize some things" Sayaka says and leaves too.
"We'll take a bath, see ya!" Hiro grins and drags Leon with him. "Hey, before we go, we somehow found all Pi'illos there, but we didn't want to risk dropping them, so we hid them on the tent. Once we go back clean, we'll be waiting for you to rescue them" Leon grins.
"Leon, Hiro, my deepest thanks for doing the Pi'illo folk a service!" Dreambert chirps.
"There's no other way, except for this, to strengthen the bonds between men" Kiyotaka chuckles.
"I'll stay and guard the castle while the others rest, who knows when those evildoers could show up here and attack" Sakura says and leaves the gang.
The team understands and quickly run to the beach, with a soldier following them secretly.
At Mount Pajamaja
"To conquer the vorld, ve need a place. Something imposing!" Antasma suggests. "Hope's Peak Academy! What better place that ironically represents Despair! We wish for a replica of the school and maybe we can even make those Hope chumps fall into Despair!" Junser cackles.
"An Academy… A replica of Hope's Peak Academy.. Just for us…" Antasma whispers upon the Dream Stone.
The stone begins to shine intensely and creates a magical portal. An imposing building emerged from it and hovers above the island.
"Neo Hope's Peak Academy! That's the name of our new base!" Junser aggressively roars. "First, let us take it for a drive!" Antasma laughs.
From below the Academy, a giant laser fires against three small islands next to Pi'illo Island, completely obliterating them.
"Such Despair! Fucking rules!" Junser said with euphoria. "But first, I need to know how the ones who died came back to life and what is that beautiful Despair Mario and Luigi foiled along with Bowser, Peach and those reality show kids" Junser said.
"I also have something in mind now, but I need the other thing I said first before I make a move" she added.
With a new base of operations, the threat to Mario's world escalated into dangerous levels…
Chapter 15: END
Current Party: Mario, Kiyotaka, Luigi, Mondo, Makoto, Kyoko, Starlow, Dreambert
Let's reply the recent review.
Pikminfan: Those new attacks will surely help the team in the future but when exactly will be a mystery until then.
Another Titan fell to the Dream Team! And now the gang's heading to the beach but Sakura stayed behind.
The fifth report is coming next week; Mukuro has some thoughts she needs to vent.
