Wakeport will lose its peace again, the team is back! Keep your guards up, this chapter won't be exactly like in the original game.


Chapter 21: Wake the Bedsmith! Dreamy Heist

From the golden pipe, the fighters have emerged and quickly get off. They quickly rush towards the tour centre when Mario stops abruptly and so do the others.

Popple is seen contemplating the same house he came out of before. "Cripes! Took me a while to find it but The secret of that Pi'illoper creep's house!

Why hide the second-floor entrance like that? It was right in front of my nose the whole time, see?

JACKPOT!

Those drips'll know I'm making for that second floor… I swiped a map from that stupid centre and as soon as I snatch that loot, I'm booking it out of here!" he laughed and left.

"That guy will give us trouble, I tell you" Mario groans. "Kyoko, what are you thinking about?" Makoto asks, "Someone's coming to us" she replies.

"No wonder why Wakeport got noisy. You came back" Byakuya says, followed by Toko.

"Oh, the asshole and his stalker" Mondo rolls his eyes. "The feeling's mutual, submissive biker" the writer hisses.

"Tell me why you are here?" Byakuya commands. Makoto sighs and tells him everything that happened.

"That is definitely bad. And since Junko has the upper hand, I'll assist you once more" the heir says. "And I thought you came here because somehow you know Genocide found 5 of your people, Dreambert" Byakuya says.

Dreambert widens his eyes and thanks the writer, but Toko doesn't remember how she found them, she just pulls them out and the gang proceeds to rescue them.

5 Pi'illos rescued later

The prince thanked the heir and the writer for helping them, "Let's just move, we have a mastermind to defeat" Byakuya says.

"Toko, come with us but keep quiet" Byakuya tells to the girl; Toko nods eagerly and thus, Byakuya and Toko rejoin the battle.

Kiyotaka spots a road above the tour centre and the team with a disgruntled Byakuya and Toko perform a Ball Hop to reach it.

Once up, they break the formation and explore north. It doesn't take them long before reaching an unpopulated area, where Popple is grunting.

They heard him complain on how that Pi'illo fan hired a security guard. That in turn makes them spot a Wiggler exploring the area.

"Let's make a break for it" Mario says and the team heads towards the Wiggler. But Popple stops them before the Wiggler could spot the heroes.

"You again! Why are you always sticking your noses where it doesn't belong?!" Popple glares at them, "Pot, meet the Kettle" Mario spits back.

Popple frowns but the comes up with an idea "(I can use these drips to KO the security guard and then finally take the loot and as well some vengeance!)"

"HEAR ME OUT! Since we're going to the same direction, let's team up! Give that buggy security guard a smack or two!" the thief suggests. The team looks at him with incredulity.

"It's settled!" Popple grins and goes to the Wiggler to taunt him. "You can't just walk around here like that! Wiggler found the place fair and square!" the creature complains.

"Bring it on, you wannabe moth!" Popple mocks him again. Mario and Luigi tremble as Wiggler slowly turns red.

"Did you just say… Moth?! Wiggly Wiggler… is full of… RAGE!" Wiggler completely turn red.

"We're in for it now!" Mario panics, "Listen to us for a moment!" Taka requests. "This one of the things we fear the most!" Luigi yells, "I'm gonna kick this bug's ass and then Popple's!" Mondo cracked his knuckles. "Wait Wiggler! No need to fight!" Makoto shouts, "An unnecessary fight" Kyoko sighs, "Please, we don't want to hurt you" Chihiro pleads. "Why is violence the quickest answer to everything?" Byakuya groans, "You're nothing cute compared to my pet bug Kameko!" Toko snaps at Wiggler before sneezing. "Such a cute bug! I want to kill you now!" Genocide cackles.

Popple climbs to the Wiggle's head and yanks it up. The Wiggler goes madder and stomps the ground with a powerful wave. The team dodges it and prepares to attack. Byakuya teleports away from the battle and decides to provide tactical support, with Genocide using Quick Attack to get by his side

Mario humps and delivers an Axe Hammer to one of Wiggler's segment, turning it yellow. "Just like that one at Chucklehuck Woods!" Luigi whistles and turns another segment by stomping on it.

The Wigglers glares at the bros and launches another wave at the heroes and Popple, who got off unnoticed. The team is knocked away from the Wiggler and this time chases after Kyoko.

The detective runs and tries to outrun the foe, but Wiggler's speed proves superior and she's sent to the skies. Mondo quickly reacts and catches her before she hits the ground.

"Excellent reflexes" Kyoko tells him, to which the biker grins and puts her down.

Meanwhile, Wiggle's now chasing Kiyotaka, who's barely outrunning the angry foe. But it turns out to be a diversion for Mario and Makoto, who stomp and deliver a down air respectively to the remaining red segments.

The Wiggler lost the anger and fell to ground with no intention to attack.

The heroes surrounded Wiggler. "What shall we do?" Taka asks, "Let's talk with him" Mario says.

"Boo, boo I say!" Popple butted in but he's silenced with a death glare from Mondo.

"Why are you so mean?" Wigglers whines, "This is just a misunderstanding" Makoto says. "Well, how can we solve this without any more fighting?" wondered Luigi.

"I know! Wiggler knows of a coin block that contains 2000 coins on that area over there! Just leave Wiggler alone with his new flower garden!" the creature pleads as he points to a small flower bed.

"Well, coins aren't everything" Mario said, he then turned to Popple and told him something that left everyone in shock.

"You take those and leave this island?"

Even Popple dropped his jaw but nodded, "You're just giving me a fat loot like that? Deal! Well enjoy being crushed by that giant academy! I'm outta here!" Popple grins and heads towards said block.

The thief struck the block, the coins came out and he put them on his bag. He then saluted the team and left for good.

The team sighs of relief, "Now please leave Wiggler alone. I have to start planning where to put the flowers"

The team nods and heads towards Byakuya with a Ball Hop. "That was surprisingly quick" the heir said. "Well, despite their temper, I don't like beating Wigglers, that's why I tought opening to dialogue was the best thing to do. And as I said before, Popple's luck would only make our mission to stop Junko and Antasma way harder if he manages to steal either Bedsmith or even the Ultibed.

Despite my hostility towards the thief, it was a better and quicker way to get rid of him" Mario explains.

"I didn't know you had quite diplomatic skills" Taka says. "I'm impressed you had those Mario" Byakuya tells him.

"Speaking of impressive… Wasn't the house Popple trying to break in that of Pi'illoper? LEt's get there and see if we can find a clue about Bedsmith" Starlow says.

The team nods and heads to the second floor of the house. Once inside, they encountered a beanish with a Pi'illo mask.

"He almost looks like a Phantom Thief" Luigi thought.

The beanish sneezes and turns around to look at the team. "Even though it's allergy season… I can smell you guys have…

PI'ILLO STUFF!" he shouts.

"Yeah, yeah" Genocide rolls her eyes. "I see you came to see my Pi'illo collection. Allow me to introduce myself. I am an expert on Pi'illo culture! Let's be Pi'illo Pals!

But first, you gotta show me what you've got" Pi'illoper says. "Let's just show him what we found on the way" Starlow sighs.

The team then proceeds to show him all of the Zee parts, and that is met with several squeals from Pi'illoper, who claimed them as heroes.

"I'm not worthy of this!" Pi'illoper cries of joy, "Now please let me show you my collection! I'll open that way to the basement and meet you there" he said and jumped to the first floor.

"After watching so many bizarre things, I don't know what to say anymore" Byakuya scoffs. The team gets to first floor and takes a pipe to the basement.

Once there, Pi'illoper showed them his collection and his most-valued antique, one petrified and sliced in half pillow with a unique pattern.

"THAT'S IT! This is Bedsmith!" Dreambert quickly shouts. Pi'illoper now goes into full fanboy mode as he begins to idolize the prince.

"A PI'ILLO! AND THE PRINCE NONETHELESS!" the beanish yells. "Greetings, I am Dreambert, Prince of the Pi'illos. You appear to be in shock. But do not worry, me and my friends are going to tell you everything" Dreambert says.

One by one, the team explains everything to Pi'illoper.

"Antasma is back?! And is teaming up with that Junko girl?! So that's why you're looking for Bedsmith! And I thought the pillow was torn apart before I found it, but to think it's a sliced in half Pi'illo…" Pi'illoper muses.

"Yes, that is why we request you to let us save him" Taka says. "If it is to help the Pi'illo people, OK! You can have the Pi'illo!" Pi'illoper smiles.

"Thank you very much for your comprehension. Mario! Kiyotaka! Luigi! Mondo! Makoto! Kyoko! Chihiro! Byakuya! Genocide!

Let us save Bedsmith!" Dreambert says but then looks at Pi'illoper.

"Pi'illoper, since you are helping us with this, you deserve a reward! Would you like to join us in this quest at the Dream World?" Dreambert asks. "YES!" the beanish jumps of joy, with the rest of the team nodding.

And thus, Pi'illoper joined the battle, for now.

Luigi and Mondo fall asleep and a portal opens, "WHOA! I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY A LEGEND!" Pi'illoper yells.

One by one, the group jumps into the portal.


At the Dream World

Just as they lands, Dreamberts floats in front of the gang. "The Bedsmith must be trapped in a nightmare chunk! There!" he says and points towards a giant chunk near them, but accessing it was impossible from their position.

Byakuya tried to Teleport and destroy it with a Shadow Ball to it didn't work. "This can't be serious, my powers aren't working" he complains.

However, the heir's rant was overshadowed when the beanish began to jump with joy the moment he gazed upon this world. " I'M IN THE DREAM WORLD! OH MY GOSH! MY DREAM LITERALLY HAS COME TRUE!" he shouted. Makoto chuckles and explains Pi'illoper how things work at the Dream World.

"Kind of expected from an avid fan of the Pi'illo culture" Taka said in a comprehensive tone.

"Let's get going" Makoto says and the gang takes off. The heroes, despite being familiar with Dreamy Wakeport, find themselves in another unknown area so they sigh and begin to explore it.

They defeated tons of enemies, experimented with a new Luiginary and Mondonary work that allowed them to speed up and slow down time, won 2550 coins and found a lance for Pi'illoper to use.

They finally reach the other side of Bedsmith imprisoned chunk when Dreamy Luigi and Dreamy Mondo spot two "!" blocks.

Luigi hits the one on the right and a lithograph and two glowing balls emerged from it. Said glowing balls went into the dream heroes, "Hell yeah! Those things were a new attack: Luiginary and Mondonary Wall!" Dreamy Mondo grins.

"That is unexpected" Kyoko whistles, "Hey, heroes, come closer!" Dreambert says as he lifted the lithograph and read it.

"These are Pi'illo characters! They say a terrible and gigantic guardian keeps Bedsmith imprisoned!

Many have tried to free him, only to be reduced to a bloody pulp thanks to said guardian.

The name of this guardian is… Earthwake" Dreambert translated.

"So if we want to save Bedsmith…" Mario muses, "We must defeat Earthwake. And to do that, someone has to hit the other block" Kyoko completes for him.

The team look at each other and then at Pi'illoper, "If this to save Bedsmith, I don't mind putting myself in danger" he says.

The crew nods and Dreamy Mondo strikes the block on the left; That made no effect…

"SYNCHRO OPTIMIZED... BOOT TRANS-MODE 1... EARTHWAKE SYNCHED! ERADICATOR ONLINE!" a disembodied voice roared.

The cell where the Bedsmith is floats into the air and two eyes emerges from it; That was Earthwake's head.

Earthwake then gathered several building from Dreamy Wakeport and assembled a body. It then began to chase the heroes.

"Didn't expect this!" Mario panics as he and the team run for their lives.


At the Real World

Luigi panics while Mondo sweats nervously in their sleep. Starlow, already knowing what to do when the glow from the cap and cleavage appears, begins to touch them alternatively.


At the Dream World

While Earthwake chases the gang, both dream fighters begin to grow huge and just before they realize it, they became titans once more

Once giant, Dreamy Mondo held the guardian in place and managed to push it with Dreamy Luigi's help.

"Let's-a-go!" Mario grins, "This one looks tough!" Makoto yelps, "OH MY GOSH, WE'LL TAKE ON A TITAN DREAM BATTLE!" Pi'illoper squealed, "Ok, this is fucking amazing!" Genocided laughs before switching to Toko due to a sneeze. The girl looked at the Titan and trembled intensively. With that, the four climbed Dreamy Luigi.

"Bro! Let's teach this guardian a lesson in teamwork!" Taka yells, "The body is resistant, look for a way to disable that armor" Kyoko points out, "Mondo! All right, we'll help you win this one!" Chihiro looks at the titan with determination, "This is new. I guess this could get interesting" Byakuya said and Dreamy Mondo picked them up.

The dream heroes looked behind Earthwake and notice the sea. "If we can find a way to push it, the armor will nullify!" Dreambert said.

"Careful there, don't let that guardian push us into the ocean behind us" Kyoko said as the rest turned around.

With this, Dreamy Luigi and Dreamy Mondo charged into battle.

Luigi took the lead and Hammer Uppercutted Earthwake into the air, with Mondo following with a kick and another Hammer Uppercut.

The guardian is sent into the sea. "Quick! Bash the head!" Byakuya yells, wich made Kiyotaka and Chihiro shiver a bit.

Dreamy Luigi and Dreamy Mondo nod as they pull out their weapons again and begin to smash Earthwake's head as much as the guardian remained trapped in the ocean. The titan then summons an armor made of concrete covers itself.

"The armor will reduce knockback; Use the Drill Stomp and break it!" Kyoko yells to both titans and proceeds to explain Byakuya how to do it. Meanwhile, Makoto does the same to Toko.

"Very well, but I take the top of the stack" the heir said as the team prepares to execute the Team Attack.

Everyone form a stack in the next order: Byakuya, Mario, Kyoko, Chihiro, Makoto, Kiyotaka, Pi'illoper, Dreamy Mondo and Dreamy Luigi.

The ten spin several times in the air and deliver a crushing stomp to Earthwake's head, effectively shattering the armor. However, the guardian didn't give up and summoned various buildings to toss them at the heroes.

Dreamy Luigi and Dreamy Mondo react fast and deflect all block back at Earthwake. Enraged, the guardian summon more buildings to form two balls and launches them to the dream fighters.

Both jump over them and ride to strike Earthwake once more. With the two blows' knockback combined, the titan is sent to the ocean once more. Dreamy Luigi and Dreamy Mondo nod and bash the head again with their hammers.

Earthwake emerges from the ocean dizzy and the heroes whack it once more, leaving it ready to defeat.

"Finish it!" Dreambert yells. The team nods and the dream warriors launch into space once again.

They grab a giant star and the small heroes hop into it, which is then launched by Dreamy Luigi and Dreamy Mondo.

Mario and Kiyotaka drive back to the Earth and deals the final blow to Earthwake's head. The guardian explodes in a giant burst of stars and drops 1000 coins.

Dreamy Luigi and Dreamy Mondo return to their normal size as the heroes approach them to high-five them.

The nightmare chunk fall down and Pi'illoper shatters it. From it, Bedsmith emerged and his revival sent the team to the Real World


At the Real World

The heroes jump from the portal as Luigi and Mondo wake up. Bedsmith's halves unite and the Pi'illo revives. "Antasma! Show yourself you miserable villain! My chisel of justice and anger await" he yells.

He then looks around and spots the prince, "Oh! If it isn't the soft, fluffy, oh-so-nappable prince?! The presence of such royalty wants me to…

Nap on you!" Bedsmith smirks, making everyone on the room sweatdrop. "What?" Taka simply asked. "He's always had… strange notions…

But I guess you can say he's the Ultimate Bedsmith" Dreambert replies. He then approached Bedsmith to tell him everything.

"Listen, Bedsmith! During that battle,we were petrified and sliced in half! My companions are helping me revive the other Pi'illos" Dreambert said

"Ah, is that so? I knew not that we Pi'illos were suffering a lot!" Bedsmith yells.

"Antasma has returned as well. He's teamed up with a girl named Junko Enoshima! They want to plunge this world into Despair!" Starlow exclaimed. "We need your assistance to stop them!" Dreambert pleads.

"I see, but I am an artist. I create beauty, not destruction!" Bedsmith says. "That is why we need your help, you must create the Ultibed, Bedsmith" Dreambert replies.

"THE ULTIBED?! That is impossible! We would need-" Bedsmith is interrupted by Makoto, "We already found the five Zee parts"

"That makes our path easier! Let us make the Ultibed!" the artist said and begins to leave, "Wait, the hell are you going?" Mondo asks.

"To Somnom Woods! That is where my workshop is! I will meet you there, heroes!" Bedsmith says and takes off.

"The mythical forest, east from Mushrise Park…" Dreambert mused.

"We should go as well" Dreambert suggests, with the but Byakuya and Fukawa nodding. "Yes! Let's go!" Chihiro chirps.

"Yeah, we're a team!" Makoto smile, "Don't see why not" Mario agrees but Kiyotaka and Mondo step in front of the programmer.

"I'm afraid I must oppose this" the moral compass said, "Same here" the biker adds. "We have overcome many enemies and each are getting stronger" Taka said. "We'd be damned if you got hurt, especially by that Despair bitch or the asshole bat" Mondo says.

"But I want to be stronger by your side" Chihiro complains, "And you showed that with your diligence in battle" Kiyotaka replies. "Please, return to Pi'illo Castle" Mondo requests.

Chihiro sighed in disappointment but relents, "Fine, I'll go back. But that doesn't mean I won't stop helping you! I'll see what can I do with the technology and magic there" the programmer smiles.

"All right, let's take Chihiro to the pipe and then we head to Somnom Woods" Luigi said. "Before we go, Byakuya, Toko, Pi'illoper:

Please defend Wakeport from any potential threats" Dreambert request. "Your wish is my command, your highness!" the beanish nodded. "I only accept this just to keep me entertained. Don't think you're my equal, Dreambert" the heir coldly says.

"I'll be by master's side and-" Toko sneezes and turns into Genocide, "Wait, how we came back to the Real World?! Eh whatever. All I need is master!" she cackles.

The team nods and leaves the house. Once outside, they head to the pipe and Chihiro takes it to the castle. Once it glowed again, the team jumps into it, bid farewell to the three staying in Wakeport and leave to Mushrise Park's Entrance.

As soon as the three defenders of Wakeport left the area, a soldier, who has so many things to reflect, jumps into the pipe as well and heads to Mushrise Park…

Chapter 21: END

Current Party: Mario, Kiyotaka, Luigi, Mondo, Makoto, Starlow, Dreambert


Let's reply the recent review.

Glover 64: When the that battle comes, all factions know it's all or nothing.

Mukuro... All I can say is that she still doesn't know what to do with her being revived along with the others who fell to the killing game.

Bedsmith has been rescued! And we're now heading to the forest. But Chihiro decided to return to the castle and look for Dr. Snoozemore to ask him something.

Let's see how Mukuro deals with this in the seventh report.
