The team's now at the Dream World, let's see what shenanigans they get into.
Chapter 17: Expanding the beach, dealing with the siblings
After a long traverse through the beach, the team found a Dream Point and entered the Dream World.
Not so long after they arrived, they encountered one of Seadric's siblings: Seabelle.
"Oh, hey guys! You must be the team my big brother was talking about" the seahorse greeted them.
"Hello there!" Makoto chirps, "Well, my brother said you would come to collect an egg. And guess what, I already have a sweet Dream Egg for you!" Seabelle grins.
"Wow! In that case, could you just-" Dreambert is interrupted by Seabelle, "Hold up, you guys. My eyeline extension just slipped. Gotta redo my makeover; It'll only take an hour. Toodles!" Seabelle winked and left.
But the team was having none of this and Makoto used his Clawshot grab to bring her back.
"RUDE!" she yelled, "I'm sorry, but we've got an emergency" the luckster apologized. "I guess you really need that egg. But the thing is that in an hour, I'll be an aquatic model" Seabelle said.
"You don't need that to be cute girl" Aoi intervened, "Are you saying that look good even with this manky eyelash?" the seahorse asked.
"Is she serious?" Dreamy Mondo and Dreambert whispered. "Hey, you hunky biker and fluffy cushion! You better be whispering I'm a supermodel or no Dream Egg!" Seabelle screamed.
"Us?! You want us to tell her that?!" both heroes asked in unison, with the rest nodding. "It must be done to protect Princess Peach bro!" Taka added.
"Seabelle is a total supermodel even with a manky fake eyelash and no makeup!" the seahorse demanded.
"SAY IT"
"Seabelle is a total supermodel even with a manky fake eyelash and no makeup" Dreamy Mondo and Dreambert said.
"Louder" Seabelle coldly replied.
"Seabelle is a total supermodel even with a manky fake eyelash and no makeup" both sid again.
"CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
"SEABELLE IS A TOTAL SUPERMODEL EVEN WITH A MANKY FAKE EYELASH AND NO MAKEUP!" Dreamy Mondo and Dreambert yelled at the top of their lungs.
"Ohh! You think so? Really? I'm that cute?!" Seabelle blushed. "We said it, now can we have the Dream Egg?" the prince asked tired, with Mondo controlling his anger to no blow it up.
"Very well, Egg time! Here you go!" Seabelle said before producing a Dream Egg and handing it to Dreamy Luigi.
"I can tell you guys think I'm totally annoying!" Seabelle glared at them, Mario shook his head.
"And I don't care! I'm going clubbing!" Seabelle groaned before leaving them.
"Seadric wasn't exaggerating with his warning" Dreambert sighs. "What a pain in the ass the girl was" Dreamy Mondo groaned.
"Then we have to be prepared with his brothers" Kyoko said.
With one Dream Egg, the gang left the Dream World and continued their tracks.
At the Real World
As they explored more of Driftwood Shore, more enemies were defeated and 300 coins were obtained from them.
The team spotted a second Dream Point and used to enter the Dream World
At the Dream World
The crew as soon as they entered, they headed towards the second sibling. After defeating more enemies and winning 100 coins, the team finally reached him.
"Oh! And audience! Over here folks!" a seadring said. "So where's the egg?" Dreambert quickly asked.
"Sure, sure, the Dream Egg. I got it! I'm Seabury. Like "C" and berry, OK?" Seabury said. Makoto chuckled at the pun while Taka didn't get the joke and the rest cringed at it.
"Gotcha, gotcha. You don't like berries. Cuz you're into the mushrooms, syrups and nuts, am I right?
Yeah, sure of course! So I got you some seats in the Porridge Parlour, know why?
CUZ IS A MUSH ROOM!" Seabury laughed.
The team but Taka and Makoto fell to ground in complete cringe.
"Is a parlour even a room? Yuk! Who cares, am I right? It's funny either way" the Seadring said as the gang got up,
"Geez, tough crowd up in here… Feel free to calp, laugh , clap or something" Seabury sighed.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! That was a funny joke!" Kiyotaka begins to give a loud yet cute laugh, cute enough to make Mondo blush.
"Ah, that's better. You guys love us Seadrings or what? Well, little know fact fo ya: Know why we're called Seadrings?
Can't see… "D"... RINGS?" Seabury said.
And once more, everyone but Makoto and Taka fell to ground in cringe. However the other two begin laugh loud.
"That's the spirit, my friends! All right, hang on, I've got another one! This one will slay you all I swear!" Seabury exclaims with determination.
That's where Mario stepped in, "I'm sorry, but we need to get the Dream Egg, we're in a hurry"
"I get it… Ice cold man. But whatever! Here, take it!" the Seadring hands the second egg to Aoi.
"Let's get to the third Dream Point and find the last Seadring" Dreambert said.
"Say hey, so you're gonna use the egg to hide Peach and eventually everyone right?
Be careful not to break in the way. But I'm sure you'll be fine… You're doing what you must to protect your friends!" Seabury says, "But I'm sure you're gonna give Junser… a reality check!
Get it?" Cause you're the Dream Team and will make her see the truth of your power!" Seabury jokes, to the unamusement of everyone, Makoto and Taka included.
"You gotta live a little…" Seabury finishes before leaving.
The gang just makes a quick return to the Real World.
At the Real World
The team quickly runs west from there and Dreambert spots the final Dream Point.
And as always, life wasn't going to give them things so easy. That came in the form of an old Shelltop who after a long rant, struck a deal with them.
In exchange of letting them cross, two of the team must play the Shelltop's game.
The deal involved Kiyotaka and Aoi playing a game called Mole Hunt, in which they gotta use the Dunk move to dig up hermit crabs and score 230 points.
Aoi, despite trusting Taka, still trembled a bit before being hit with the hammer.
With all preparations done, the game began.
It was a hard and often bumbly game but Kiyotaka and Aoi managed to secure victory.
"Well, you've played well! Congratulations!" the shelltop chirps. "I gave my word, the bridge's yours! And here's a prize for beating the game!" the shelltop handed Mondo an awesome item.
A new Team Attack: Bomb Derby.
With this new attack, the team departs for the next Dream Point. Luigi and Mondo quickly fall asleep and the gang jumps into the portal.
At the Dream World
Just as they landed, the heroes and the dream fighters set off to find the last Seadring.
In their way, the gang finds a brand-new Luiginary and Mondonary that allows them to change gravity by making Starlow spin the inflatable bed in the Real World.
Not so long after that, the team finally reached the third and last Seadring.
"Hello! We have come for the Dream Egg…" Dreambert says.
"NICE!
Stylish stache, Thick eyebrows, Green stache, Golden Pompadour, Brown ahoge, Lavender hair, Red jacket, Little orange guy.
You must be… those superheroes! YES! The… SUPER SEADRINGS!" the Seadring shouts with joy.
"No… Look, we need the Dream Egg and-" Dreambert is interrupted. "No need to hide your identities with me! I always watch your show every week!" the Seadring grins.
"Red Seadring! Black Seadring! Green Seadring! Golden Seadring! Brown Seadring! Lavender Seadring! Blue Seadring! And Orange Seadring! Yeah! Always snacking on cheese!
Not to mention the Black and Golden Seadrings! Who have a crush on each other but are too oblivious to notice!
Look, I'm Seatoon! HUGE FAN! This is like, a massive honour!" the little boy said.
Dreambert's response was one of dumbfoundedness "Cheese… what? Look… kid…"
But it was nothing to how Kiyotaka and Dreamy Mondo reacted to the two Seadrings' statement: Both heroes' face went completely red and avoided looking at the others.
Mario and Aoi chuckled at how naively funny their teammates are.
"DUDES! RING IT UP!" Seatoon shouts, leaving the team confused. "Transform into your super forms! OH PLEASE! With the poses!" the Seadring requested with enthusiasm.
The team took some steps back, "What shall we do?" Dreamy Luigi asks, "We have to play along with him, or we'll just waste more time than now" Mario says.
"Deceive a kid? Absolutely not! Playing with a child's innocence is unacceptable!" Taka objects with passion. "We know the stakes of lying Kiyotaka, but we need to do this if we want to stand a chance against Junser and Antasma" Kyoko counters with her usual calm demeanor.
The moral compass has his mind full of guilt of having to lie to a kid. "Taka, I know you don't like this, but please, we need to do this to protect everyone we care for. Please, help us" Makoto pleaded with puppy eyes.
Kiyotaka began to tear up but nodded, "Very well! Let this be our first and last lie!" he cries.
Mario patted his shoulder to calm him down and Dreambert took the lead with Seatoon.
"You're right, young Seatoon! We are the Super Seadrings!" he imposedly said, "We need the Dream Egg to defeat the evil monster, Biggidy-Junser!"
Seatoon runs away wildly since he went full fanboy.
"OH MY GOSH! THE REAL DEAL!"
"Dream Eggs, huh? They're the key? Weññ, I've got one for you for sure!
But… First…
RING IT UP!" he requests.
The heroes' imposement broke and turned to look at Dreambert, "I know this is silly, but is necessary" the prince retorts.
"TRANSFORMATION TIME! Red Seadring… RING IT UP!" Dreambert commanded.
Mario looked at him with a "wut" face. "Just do a pose please" the prince whispers.
The plumber sighs and jumps into the air; And strikes his Smash Ultimate pose as his hands ignited fireballs that he tosses as soon as he landed on the ground.
"No" Seatoon says. "Not right AT ALL! That's Brown Seadring's pose! For after his special move!" the kid points out.
"Ma- Red Seadring! Enough warm-ups! Time for the real deal! And other Seadrings! Look alive, superheroes! Pose like you mean it!"
The team looks at each other and nod before jumping into the air.
Mario performs his Smash 4 pose, Kiyotaka strikes Little Mac's Ultimate pose, Luigi performs Brawl pose, Mondo uses Wolf's Ultimate pose, Makoto, does the same with Toon Link's, Kyoko shyly does Lucina's Ultimate pose and Aoi grins before doing Wii Fit Trainer's pose.
"Still WRONG! AND no TRANSFORMATION! AND no unsynchronised!" Seatoons groans before making a question that hurt the team.
"Are… you… eight… just... impostors…?" he asks dejectedly.
"I'm sorry… but yes, we're actually-" Dreambert says before Taka steps in.
"We're the Dream Team, a group of diligent fighters who wants to stop Junser and Antasma from sinking the world into Despair. We deeply regret deceiving you" he bows as an apology.
The rest of the team just sighs and looks down.
"Right… Yeah, you did look off… Super Seadrings' hair matches their color, too… When I got a call about you eight, I assumed you were, you know, THEM…"
Mario and Taka look up the young Seadring. "But you guys went for it, huh? You tried to make me happy huh?
Now THAT is nice! You guys are nice! The Dream Team is a force of good! I'm convinced of it!"
Taka tears up again, with Dreamy Mondo wrapping an arm to comfort him.
"And you said you needed a Dream Egg, huh? Well, let me repay nice with nice! I'll give you my Dream Egg!" Seatoon smiles before giving the item to Mario.
"We have to expand the Dream World immediately! Our friends must be hidden but first the princess is our top priority!" Dreambert declared.
"Oh, totally! A Dream Egg expansion in the Dream World is the perfect hiding spot!" Seatoon agrees.
"Protecting the ones you care for… Man. That is JUST like the Super Seadrings! That's even part of their theme song! "Ringing It Up on Friends Duty!"
"Really?" Aoi asks, "Yup!
Octuple the colours, octuple the teamwork! Friends in distress, have no fear! Super Seadrings dream team! Form it up! Grab evil by its ear and RING IT UP!" Seatoons chants.
"Seatoon, your heart if big as this Dream World will be! Thank you for understanding and helping us in this mission!" Kiyotaka cries.
The team smiles and does another set of poses, "Just... stop posing like that. It's totally wrong and bad.
Any how, good luck you eight! I've got some NEW heroes to support!" Seatoon chirps before leaving them.
"Now we have all three Dream Eggs! Peach and Chihiro await us! Back to Seadric!" Dreambert rallies the team.
The gang nods and quickly return to the Real World. All eggs are in their hand now.
Operation: Hide your loved ones can move on to the next phase…
Chapter 17: END
Current Party: Mario, Kiyotaka, Luigi, Mondo, Makoto, Kyoko, Starlow, Dreambert, Aoi
Time to reply the recent review.
Pikminfan: Mario and Luigi have experience with their adventures across the stars. And while there is an Ultimate Astronaut, he is not among these teens.
Dealing with the siblings wasn't a cakewalk, but a least the Dream World can expand now.
We'll see how that goes next chapter.
