Chapter 8: Found
The gang began to start their search for Ducky, Tickles, and Spike. However, Mr. Thicknose was making sure that he was staying with them.
(Mr. Thicknose) Guys. Can you slow down for a moment? I'm not as young as I used to be.
(Cera) Why do we have to bring him along? Can't he just stay in the valley?
(Mario) If he doesn't come with us, he'll tell Toadsworth and the grown-ups what we're doing. After all, he's the wisest and eldest of us all. He can help us found our way through The Mysterious Beyond.
As the gang kept going, Winston found some more of the footprints. But still no sine of Ducky, Tickles, and Spike
(Littlefoot) They couldn't have gone too far. After all, Spike-tails move very slowly.
(Petrie) Me have an idea. Me fly up and see if me spot Ducky, Tickles, and Spike.
(Mr. Thicknose) I was about to suggest that.
Petrie then flew up into the air to find Ducky, Tickles, and Spike. But as he got higher, the wind started to get stronger. And then his wings started to get frozen.
(Petrie) Wings...too...heavy.
(Luigi) What's wrong with Petrie?
(Peach) Oh no. There's ice on his wings.
Petrie tried to get back to the search, but the wind was too strong. And then he found himself falling.
(All) PETRIE!
(Cera) I can't look.
(Luigi) Me nether.
Petrie was falling really fast. He had to get back under control before he hit the ground. He then flapped his wings and tried to fly again. But he ended up hitting snow on the side of the mountain. But he was alright.
(Mario) He made it.
The others looked. Petrie was alright and nothing went wrong.
But then, sodenly. Everyone heard a rumbling sound. And it wasn't an earthquake.
(Mario) Uh oh. I know that sound.
And then, snow started to fall off the mountain. Everyone ran as fast as they could. Until Littlefoot, Mario, Cera, and the rest got hit by the sliding snow and were pushed to the ledge. But before they ended up falling off, the snow came to a stop.
(Cera) Whoa. That was close.
Petrie and Luigi plopped out of the snow shaking their heads. While Mr. Thicknose got up with only his head out of the snow.
(Mr. Thicknose) guys.
(Mario) We're alright. But we have a problem.
Everyone looked back at the path they came from. The snow had blocked it up. And it was the only way back into the valley.
(Cera) Great. Now we're trapped out here.
(Littlefoot) And so are Ducky, Tickles, and Spike.
The Far Walkers continued making their way through the snow. And still they found no food.
Komasan was getting upset. There was still no food and he was starting to miss his friends and family.
(?) Guys!
That voice sounded like Ducky. But could it be...? No. It can't be her.
(?) Guys!
Komasan was also hearing Tickles' voice. But he, Ducky, and Spike would never come this far. Was he only missing them too much? Maybe that's why he's hearing things.
(Ducky) We can just say that it is alright. And maybe they will come back with us.
(Tickles) But what if he won't forgive us?
(Ducky) Then we can just say that we forgive him. Yep, yep, yep.
Spike licks Ducky from her comment
(Tickles) Good thing Spike-tail footprints are easy to follow.
They continued their search. Jumping from foot print to foot print. Until they both jumped into a big one. It was a Sharp-tooth footprint.
(Ducky) That is not a Spike-tail foot hole. I hope whatever Sharp-tooth made this just kept on walking.
(Tickles) Me too.
(Ducky) GUYS! (echoing) guys, guys, guys.
(Tickles) Hey. An echo. GUYS! (Echoing) Guys, Guys, Guys.
They then went on. Until they heard bigger footsteps.
(Ducky) Even our walking has an echo.
But then the footsteps got louder. And louder. Then they looked. The Sharp-tooth that made the footprint has come back.
(Ducky, Tickles, and Spike) AAAAAAHHHHHH!
They ran under the Sharp-tooth before he could even grab them. But he knew who they were. He wasn't gonna let them get away.
(Mr. Thicknose) Look at those rock formations. I've never seen anything like them.
Upon hearing this, the gang stopped and looked at Mr. Thicknose.
(Luigi) You haven't?
(Cera) Is this your first trip out into The Mysterious Beyond?
(Mr. Thicknose) Well
Before he could finish, everyone heard screaming. The gang and Mr. Thicknose then saw Ducky, Tickles, and Spike coming their way.
(Mountain Sharp-tooth) I knew that it was the swimmer with those guys who defeated Sharptooth. This is my only chance.
Mario didn't have time to get everyone to understand what the Sharp-tooth was saying. He had to run before he got bitten.
The gang ran up the mountain. As they did so, Cera saw snowballs rolling down the hill. That gave her an idea.
Mr. Thicknose was face to face with the Sharp-tooth. Even with the strength from his nose, he knew he wouldn't have any effect on the Sharp-tooth.
Before anyone could attack, a snowball came and shot the Sharp-tooth on his nose. He then looked at the top of the hill and saw the gang making a big snowball.
(Littlefoot) Hey ugly. Wanna play?
(Mario) It's on you Wario.
Wario then pushed the snowball down the hill and it rolled all the way to the Sharp-tooth.
(Mario) Mr. Thicknose. Get out of the way.
Mr. Thicknose didn't know what Mario was talking about. But then he saw the snowball and knew what it ment. He then moved out of the way and the snowball slammed onto the Sharp-tooth and made him hit his back on a rock and KO him.
(Mario) There. We better go. He won't stay down forever.
Ducky, Tickles, and Spike were happy to see the rest of the gang all the way out here.
(Ducky) Oh I am happy to see you guys.
(Tickles) Me too. We're happy to see all of you.
Spike licks Littlefoot that he's happy to see them to But, then they were looking at Cera and Daisy with mad looks on their faces.
(Ducky) Except you 2. This is all your fault.
(Tickles) You 2 told us to get mad at the yokai and now look at what happened.
Spike nods in agreement
(Daisy) Our fault. It's you 3 who started it.
(Ducky and Tickles) WHAT?!
(Cera) Yeah. We saw the whole thing. You are really bad at being mad.
That got them to put on space suits that look just like USApyon's
(Mario) What are you wearing?
(Ducky) These are spacesuits that USApyon gave us.
(Daisy) Space suits? In the winter?
The 2 laughed at that one.
(Cera) That's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard.
(Tickles) It's not ridiculous.
But the 2 didn't listen. They just made fun of that.
(Daisy) And it looks like USApyons's. Man you guys really do like the yokai.
(Ducky) What?!
(Daisy) I better draw what you look like. You have a depressing look on you guys.
(Tickles) What?!
(Cera) And they wear a damp shirt.
(Spike) Huh?!
(Daisy) Okay here's the final image.
The image looks like the mascot for Hailey Annes website
(Cera) Okay. Now that's funny.
They laughed at the image. Then Ducky, Tickles, and Spike snapped in rage.
(Ducky, Tickles, and Spike) WHY YOU TWO!
They pressed and held both gray buttons on the cheek area on their helmet which caused a black glass plate to flip over their face, black smoke filled their helmet, and their eyes turned red.
(Computer) INVADER MODE.
Then they took out their blasters which are shaped of what they liked and carelessly shoot multiple red beams and started chasing them while throwing a temper tantrum. Then Cera and Daisy dodged the lasers.
(Cera) Sorry. Sorry. We didn't tell you to get mad.
(Daisy) We only told you to express your feelings.
Ducky, Tickles, and Spike then calmed down and their invader mode went off.
(Ducky) And our feelings were mad. We do not like being mad.
(Tickles) And we don't want to get mad at you guys too. And now we're all lost out here. But at least we have Mr. Thicknose to help us find our way back.
Spike nods in agreement.
Then they took off the spacesuits
(Mr. Thicknose) Yes. Well. I uhh. (Sigh) I think the time has come for me to confess. My times outside The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom is far less than what I had you believe.
(Peach) What? How many times have you been out here?
(Mr. Thicknose) Counting this trip? One.
The gang were now shocked. All this time, Mr. Thicknose hadn't left the valley. Especially since it's almost a whole year since they first found the place.
(Luigi) How can things get any worse?
