Whoa, been a while since I upload a chapter in this story. I had fun coming up with lots of ideas for this chapter. So you enjoy this.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters or the story (which is based on the game). I only own my OCs.
Warning: Spoiler for anyone who hasn't played this game.
I am outside a house with Sonic, Tails, Amy, Darkwing and Crystal.
"Okay…what am I doing here?" asks Darkwing. He looks around and sees us. "Oh, hi Julie, Crystal, Sonic, Amy… and a fox with…two tails?!"
"You two must be Darkwing Duck and Crystal. Sonic and Amy told me about you," says Tails. "My name is Miles Prower but you can call me Tails."
"I see how you got that nickname," says Darkwing.
The door of the house opens and a boy with blue hair comes out. He is wearing silver armours and has a sword. He sees us and points his sword at my friends.
"Wait! We're not here to hurt anyone," Tails quickly says to him. The boy looks at us.
"We just happened to show up in front of your house," says Darkwing. "Do you know where we are?"
The blue haired boy thinks about it and then he waves for us to come inside. We go in his house where the blue haired boy shows us a map. We look at the map and see that we're in a place called Monster World.
"Monster World? I don't like the sound of that," says Darkwing. "So your name is Shion." The blue haired boy nods his head.
"How did you know that?" asks Crystal.
"I'm a great detective," says Darkwing.
"And you found his name written over there," says Tails. He points at the table with a paper that has Shion's name on it.
"Yeah…that's what a great detective does, they look around for clues," says Darkwing. He reads the paper on the table. "Dear Shion, Monster World was such a peaceful place but alas the peace has once again been shattered by an invading army of monsters. Please be careful." Darkwing looks a bit worried when he finishes reading it. "Now I really don't like the sound of that."
I look at Sonic and know what he is going to say. "Let's beat the monsters and save Monster World!" I say to them.
"…Okay Julie but I'm going with you, you know, to protect you from any monsters," Darkwing says to me.
We all follow Shion out of his house and toward a wall which is in our way. "Where are we supposed to go?" I ask.
Shion opens the door to a tree. We follow him inside where we meet with a woman with a crystal ball. "Once again this world is being threatened," the woman says to us. "The princess has been kidnapped from Purapril Castle. You'd better use caution. Here's an elixir and Fire Storm. Take them with you. Make sure you're ready to use magic at all times!"
We all go back out. There is now a flying little platform next to the wall. We use it to get to the top. Shion beats the two little green snake monsters with his sword. He collects the gold coins they drop. We walk across and jump down the tree. We go inside the tree where we meet with a girl.
"It's been years since we last had a visitor. Your journey has just begun. Please take care. The jellyfish will help you on your way," the girl says to us. Shion walks over to the shoe. "You have a discriminating eye," the girl says to Shion. "That's leather boots. It costs 30 golds. Would you like to purchase it?" Shion shakes his head no. "You've decided against it? That's too bad. Please stop in again."
We all go back outside. "What does she mean by discri…mat…in?" I ask. I try to say the word.
"It's discriminating and it means he has refined taste or good judgement," Darkwing says to me.
Oh, it means that Shion has good eyes for items in the shop. We beat a blue snake monster and collect the gold coin he drops. We go to the next area. We are outside a castle. We walk over to the door of the castle. Two angry looking guards stand in front of the door. They use their weapons to block the door so that we can't enter it.
"This is Purapril Castle!" says one of the guards. "Entry is prohibited. Go away!"
We walk away. "How very rude!" says Crystal. She is not happy about it.
"Did he say Purapril Castle? Isn't the princess kidnapped?" says Tails.
"That's why they won't let anybody in," says Amy.
"Next thing to do, rescue the princess," says Darkwing.
Shion waves for us to follow him. "It looks like Shion wants to look around," says Crystal.
We follow Shion to the next area. I look around and see trees and flying platforms. This place reminds me of the time that I was with Leo and Priscila. Hey, Leo and Priscila did say that they live in Monster World and this place looks like that place when I first met them. Both places even have the same name. I wonder where they are. And then I remember, they were with me when we went to a different world. What happened there? I stop and try to remember.
"Julie, is there something wrong?" Amy asks me.
I look and see everybody looking at me. "I…I…I know someone from this world," I say to them.
"Really, you've been here before?" asks Darkwing.
"I think this is the same world but it looks different. I hope Leo and Priscila are okay."
"I'm sure they are doing fine," Amy says to me.
I smile when I hear that. We use the floating and flying platforms to jump over the water. Me and Sonic make sure not to fall in the water as we can't swim. Shion, Darkwing, Crystal, Amy and Tails are okay with the water because they can swim. We beat little crab monsters and little blue monkey monsters. We keep going through this place. We jump over wooden boards. I look through the very small hole and see there's a chest under it. I wonder how we supposed to get that. We keep going until we stop at a sign. There is a jumping round thing with a face, jumping in and out of the water. There're no platforms to help us get across the water. Sonic gives us a look that says 'How are we supposed to get across?'
"It does look like a dead end. Hey, what does that sign says?" Darkwing reads out the sign, "You can ride…a jellyfish?" Darkwing looks at the jumping thing with a face. "That's a jellyfish?"
Shion jumps onto the jellyfish. Another jellyfish jumps out of the water to let Shion jump onto him then another jellyfish jumps out to let Shion jump onto him. Another jellyfish near the other side jumps up to let Shion jump onto him. Shion lands onto the other side.
"That looks fun!" I jump onto the jellyfish. All the jellyfishes help me to get across to the over side.
Everybody use the jellyfishes to get to the over side. Sonic looks at Tails with a smile on his face. "I know Sonic, I could have just flied over but I wanted to ride the jellyfishes. It is fun!" Tails says to Sonic. He turns to the jellyfishes and shouts, "Thank you!"
I copy Tails and shout, "Thank you!" to the jellyfishes.
We go to a village which has mushroom monsters running around. The sign has 'Alsedo, the fairy village' on it.
"Fairy? Yeah right, they probably have lots of fairy statues in this village," says Darkwing.
We beat the mushroom monsters and go into the first house. "Welcome to my inn," says the green haired girl behind the table.
"What's an inn?" I ask.
"It's a place for people to rest up, usually people who travel a lot," Darkwing says to me.
"You can have a good night's rest for 10 golds. Will you be staying overnight?" the green haired girl asks us.
Shion looks at us. He wants to know if we want to rest up at the inn. I'm doing okay so I say, "I'm okay."
"I'm doing okay myself," says Darkwing.
"I want to look around this village," says Amy.
"Me too," says Tails.
"I'm with you," says Crystal. "What about you Shion?"
Shion nods his head to us. He goes to the green haired girl and shakes his head no. "You've decided against it? That's too bad. Please stop in again," says the green haired girl.
We go out of the inn where more mushroom monsters show up. There're even small mushroom monsters. We beat the mushroom monsters and get more gold coins. We go into the next house. There're a blue haired girl at the end of the house and a red haired girl behind the table. On the big table are a red shield, a stick and armour.
"Welcome to Kishera," says the red haired girl. "Please take a look at any of the items that interest you." Shion goes to the stick. "You have a discriminating eye. That's small spear. It costs 80 golds. Would you like to purchase it?" Shion nods his head yes. "Thank you very much," says the red haired girl.
We go back outside. "I see why they called this the fairy village," says Tails.
"They are real fairies and they live in this village," says Amy.
"I should have expected that since we're in Monster World," says Darkwing.
Shion takes the small spear and puts away his sword. We beat up more mushroom monsters in the village. It's easier beating them with the small spear. The small spear is stronger than the sword that Shion was using. We collect more gold coins as we used all the golds to buy the small spear. The mushroom monsters keep showing up, they won't stop. We go past the two statues and into the small house.
We talk to the orange haired girl. "I'm Sonia. The village is under attack. I don't know all the details, so you'd better see Eleanora. If you stand between the statues and look up, you can find her."
"Do you think that will work?" Darkwing asks us when we go back outside.
"Might as well give it a try," says Tails.
We all go to the two statues. We stand between them and look up. Next thing we knew, we are in a beautiful place full of flowers.
"Wow, this place is beautiful," says Crystal.
"This is the perfect place for a picnic," says Amy.
We all walk across to a building. There is a yellow haired fairy and three little red and pink fairy girls above her. "I'm Queen Eleanora. The monsters come from a cave just beyond the village. Can't you help us?" says the yellow haired fairy.
"Of course we will Your Highness," says Darkwing. He takes his hat off and bows down to her.
"Take Priscilla with you. She may be able to help you," says Queen Eleanora. "Remember, though, that once you set foot outside Alsedo, Priscilla will return to me, as she won't be able to help you anymore." Queen Eleanora waves her stick and a little red and pink fairy appears above Shion.
We use the statues to get back down to the village. There are still mushroom monsters in the village. I laugh when I see Priscilla flying to one of the mushroom monsters and hitting him on the head with her hands. That's funny. We beat up the mushroom monsters.
"Better leave the fighting to us," Darkwing says to Priscilla.
We go inside the small house again to talk to Sonia. We wanted to thanks her for telling us about the statues. "You need the ocarina to open the cave doors, but I lost it somewhere inside the cave," Sonia says to us.
We go back out and into the next house which sells medicine. Shion buys the medicine for 10 golds. We go out of the house and then out of the village toward the cave. We beat the mushroom monsters and go inside the cave. This doesn't look like the inside of a cave. There're brick walls and floors in here. We follow the path while beating more mushroom monsters. There is a door with a music sign on it. There is a white floor next to the door with red music sign on it. We can't go in that door. We jump down to another path which leads to nowhere. On the floor is a yellow thing with holes. Shion picks it up.
"Looks like we found the ocarina," says Darkwing.
"That looks like a lemon," I say.
My friends laugh. "Julie, this is an ocarina. You can play music by blowing into this hole and covering the other holes." Darkwing shows me which hole you need to blow into to make music.
"What do we do now?" I ask.
"Let's take this back to Sonia," says Amy.
We go back out the cave and back into the village. We collect more gold coins from the mushroom monsters we beaten. Shion does this cool move with the small spear where he spins it around. I think that move will protect him from bad guys and their attacks. We go to Sonia's house where she teaches Shion how to play the ocarina. She teaches him three melodies which will help us break the seals on the doors. We go back to the cave and straight to the door with the Music sign. Shion takes out the ocarina.
"You do remember which melody to play, right?" Darkwing asks Shion. Shion plays the ocarina just like how Sonia taught him. The door opens after Shion plays the melody. "Oh…yeah, it's definitely that one. It's a good thing you remember. I thought you might need me to remind you," says Darkwing. Sonic gives Darkwing a look that says 'You just saying that because you forgot'. "Don't give me that look," Darkwing says to Sonic. Sonic just gives him a big smile.
We go through the door to the next area. We beat more mushroom monsters and then follow the path to the next door. Shion plays the second melody on the ocarina to open the second door. We go through the door to the next area. We beat more mushroom monsters. Sometime, Priscilla will use her wand to make little hearts appear. This is good when we are hurt as the little hearts make us feel better. We open a big red chest which has a big red heart.
"This heart makes you stronger. It adds another health to you," says Darkwing.
"How do you know that?" asks Tails.
"Oh, just something I learnt. Usually, any important things in big chests always make you stronger." Darkwing then says quietly, "At least in video games it does."
We jump across the little spikes on the floor and go in front of the door. Shion plays the last melody and opens the door. We go through the door to the next room that has a red door with a scary face on the front. We get little hearts by jumping in a certain spot. Did Priscilla make those hearts appear? We go through the red door where we face with a big angry looking mushroom monster.
"Oh boy, he doesn't look too happy that we beaten his little friends," says Darkwing.
The big mushroom monster attacks us by jumping on us. We dodge him by running out of his way. Sonic and Tails use their jump spin attack, Darkwing and Crystal hit him with kicks and punches, and Shion hits him with his small spear. Amy keeps an eye on me and makes sure that I don't get hurt. After several hits, we beat the big mushroom monster. Lots of gold coins and a big red chest fall down from the mushroom monster. We collect all the gold coins and open the chest to get the Fire Storm magic. We go through the door to a room. There is another door across from us with a word 'EXIT' next to it. We go through that door which takes us outside the cave and right next to the village. The door we used disappears.
The fairies are now outside, walking around the village. There 're no more monsters in the village. The blue haired fairy says to us, "Queen Eleanora was calling for you earlier. Why don't you pay her a visit?"
We go to the small house to give Sonia the ocarina but Sonia tells Shion that he can keep the ocarina. We go back outside and see the red haired fairy. She is happy that their village is free. We use the statues to go to Queen Eleanora.
"Thank you so much. Alsedo is once more a peaceful village. Go beyond the large tree and you'll reach Purapril," says Queen Eleanora. "If you're ever in need of help of any kind, come and see me. I'm forever in your debt."
We go past the statues and into the hole in the big tree. We climb down the ladder and go into the door. We walk through the tunnel to the next area. It looks like we are underground. Priscilla is not following us. She must have gone back home. We swim over the small waters, beating little blue bats that fly at us and round red balls with eyes that jump at us. We keep following the path, swimming over more waters, until we see two paths; one goes straight ahead while the other goes down. We need to get to Purapril so we carry on forward. We can take a look at the other path later. We follow the path to the other end where we jump over the water using the floating platform above the water. I look down and see that this water is deep. I wonder what's down there. We go to the next room where we fight with a bad guy in white armour and helmet with a sword and shield. Hitting him is very hard because he blocks our attacks with his shield. We have to wait for him to attack us as he lets his shield down when he attacks us. After several hits, we beat him and go toward the wall at the other end of the room. The wall opens up and we see someone behind the water. The water stop and we see a girl in a red dress.
"I had been taken prisoner by the monsters," she says to us. "Please come to the castle hall. I'd like to thank you." She goes through the door.
"Is that…the princess?" asks Darkwing.
"Of course it is, you can tell by her dress and crown," says Amy.
We all go through the door. "The castle hall must be all the way up there," says Darkwing.
We look up to see wooden stairs that go upward. Sonic and Tails quickly run up with Amy running after Sonic. We walk up lots of stairs to the top and climb up the ladder. Sonic, Tails and Amy are waiting for us at the top. Sonic is tapping one of his feet on the floor. He has his arms crossed and he gives us a look that says, 'I'm waiting'.
"Very funny Sonic, we can't run as fast as you," says Darkwing.
We go through the door into a garden. We see yellow haired girls walking around in the castle. They tell us things like that the front gate is opened and there's a special item that let you swim underwater. I think we need that special item to swim in that water I saw in that underground place. We walk into the castle hall where we walk past the yellow haired girls and toward the princess we saved.
"I'm Shiela Purapril. I thank you for rescuing me."
"We are happy to help," says Amy.
"I heard that you're on a journey and that you're battling the monsters," says Shiela.
"That is true," says Darkwing. He takes off his hat and bows to her.
"Why don't you stop by the village of Lilypad? There may be something there for you. Watch out for monsters on your way."
We go back out and go to the other side where we find out about the Sphinx that likes quizzes and find a bell tower which has the same star crest as the weapon of the legendary hero. We go back to the door and walk back down the wooden stairs. Sonic, Tails and Amy run down really fast.
"I have no problem walking down the stairs, walking up the stairs on the other hand can be very tiring when you're not as fit as me," says Darkwing.
"I thought for sure you were breaking a sweat when we climbed up these stairs," Crystal says to Darkwing.
"Me, breaking a sweat? No way, you must be imagining it." Sonic, Tails and Amy are at the bottom door that leads underground. "You want to know where that bottom path lead, don't you," Darkwing says to Sonic.
Sonic nods his head. We all go back through that door and go back to where the path split up. We take the bottom path and follow it through small water and lots of red ball monsters. We go through the door at the end into a very dark place. We follow this path, breaking through white boxes and beating bone monsters. These bone monsters are very strong, they take lots of hits to defeat. We keep going down and break all the white boxes. We make it to the bottom where we break all the white boxes until we hit a wall. We look up to see a path that goes upward. Uh oh, we weren't supposed to break all the boxes. We were supposed to break the boxes into the shape of the stairs so that we can climb up them. Now we can't get up.
"Where would you be without me," says Darkwing. Darkwing looks into his cape behind him. He quickly looks behind his cape when he couldn't find what he's looking for. "Hey! Where's my gas gun?!" He looks again. "And where's all my gadgets?!"
"Did you left it at home?" Crystal says to Darkwing.
"Oh no, I was about to get them until I got sucked into a portal which sent me here."
"Don't worry, I'll help," says Tails.
"What are you going to do, fly up there?" Darkwing asks. Darkwing sees Tails flying using his two tails. He looks at Tails, very surprised. "Wait, you can fly?!"
"I can, I spin my tails fast enough for me to fly like a helicopter," says Tails.
"So those tails do have a use," says Darkwing, still surprised.
"A very fast hedgehog and a flying fox, what a surprise," says Crystal.
Tails flies us up, one by one. We open the big red chest to get a heart. It's a good thing because we did get hurt by those dangerous bone monsters. We jump all the way up where we see another big red chest. Tails flies over to open it but couldn't open it because the chest is frozen. We'll come back for it when it is not frozen. We go outside where it is very cold and it is snowing. There is a very big mountain and the path is blocked by a big block of ice.
"Brrrrrrr! It's so cold out here!" Darkwing shouts.
"Achhhhoooooo!" Crystal sneezes.
Darkwing quickly takes off his cape and puts it on Crystal. "Those clothes of yours aren't suitable for this weather," Darkwing says to Crystal. He then looks at Sonic and Tails. "Aren't you cold?"
"No, I don't feel the cold, must be because I have fur to keep me warm," says Tails.
"And Sonic can't feel the cold because he is super fast," says Amy.
We take a look at the big block of ice in the mountain. We try to break it but it won't break. There is no way we can get through it.
"Achoo!" I sneeze.
"Let's get back inside before we all come down with a cold," says Amy.
We break down the white boxes and beat the bone monsters as we go back to the castle. Instead of going up the wooden stairs to the castle, we take the door next to us which takes us to town. One of the shops has a diamond which the guy in the shop says that he's not selling. I wonder what it is use for. There's a shop that sells armour and sword, another shop that sell boot and a bottle with a 'P' on it, and an inn. We walk past town, over the wooden bridge and through the door. We are outside the front door where the two angry guards blocked the door. The two angry guards are no longer angry, they're very happy with a big smile on their faces. They say that we can go in whenever we like.
"We rescued the princess, what's next?" asks Darkwing.
"Princess Shiela said that we should go to the village of Lilypad," says Amy.
"How do we get there?" Crystal asks.
"Let's look around," says Tails.
We go back into the castle and walk past into what look like a desert. We walk across the desert. It isn't long until I fall down due to how very hot the desert is. I feel someone is carrying me. I take a quick look and see that it is Darkwing. We are back at the castle.
"Phew, that desert is too hot for us to cross. I doubt your speed will help you cross it," Darkwing says to Sonic.
"I want to see what in there," I say.
"You can't Julie, you'll collapse due to the heat. We all will," says Amy.
"But I want to see what past all that desert," I say. I'm not happy that I can't cross the desert.
"Come on Julie, let's go back to town," says Darkwing.
I want to try to cross the desert again. I know that I can get past the desert if I am quick enough. I see that my friends are going back to the castle town. I decide to follow my friends.
Amy notices that I am still not happy about the desert. "Julie, it would be hard for us to get past the desert in that heat. We could use a healing potion to get through the desert but we'll still be too weak to search the place. It would be a lot easily if there's an oasis in there."
"What oasis?" I ask Amy.
"It's a place of water and trees that is usually found in the desert. It would be great if there is an oasis for us to rest up. Let's go find the village of Lilypad, we'll come back here when we get what we needed."
"Okay."
In the castle town, we go down and past the tree into the jungle. I scream when I see spider monsters climbing up and down on their spider webs. When they beat the spider monsters, more spider monsters come down. Amy holds my hand and we quickly run under them. I climb onto Darkwing and hold tight. We jump across the dangerous boiling water using the flying platform and grass ropes. We jump over the tree bottom, beat more spider monsters and cross more dangerous water to the next area. A ghost attacks us which Shion beats using his spear. We cross over more boiling water using the grass ropes, flying platforms and floating wood platforms. We have to be careful when crossing the floating wood platforms as there are spider monsters that try to attack us when we jump across. We jump over the small tree bottom. On the tree bottom, we see a happy face on it. We cross more boiling water and beat the bad guys until we make it to a yellow building. Next to the yellow building are broken statues. The monsters have made this building their home and won't let us in. The front is blocked by bricks. We can't break through it. We walk past the yellow building and into the village of Lilypad. A little girl is sitting in front of the village.
"My younger brother, Hotta, has been taken by the monsters," the little girl says to us. "What am I going to do?"
"Don't worry, Sonic will save your brother," Amy says to her.
"And what about me? Sonic is not the only hero around here," says Darkwing.
"We all save him," I say.
We look around the village. There are shops that sell different things, an inn and another house. We go into the house where we talk to an old man. "One of the children of my village has been kidnapped," says the old man. "I don't want to see anyone. Do me a favour and just go away. Please…"
We go out of his house. "Looks like he won't tell us anything until we rescue the kid," says Darkwing.
"We'll going to rescue him anyway," says Amy. "We can't just leave the poor boy to the monsters."
We go to the other end of the village and go deeper into the jungle. Jungle men attack us by throwing hammer like things at us. We dodge their attacks and beat them. We jump over the small tree bottom and go deeper into the jungle while beating more jungle men and crossing over more boiling water. We jump up on top of the tree to see a small boy tied up over the fire. The jungle men are dancing around the fire. We all jump down and fight the jungle men. When we beat three of them, the rest of them run away. Darkwing puts out the fire and Sonic breaks the rope with his spin jump, freeing the boy. The boy jumps over the tree and goes back to the village. We make our way back to the village while beating more jungle men. Back in the village we talk to the old man in the house.
"You're the ones who saved the child?" the old man asks us.
"Yep, that's us," says Darkwing.
"I am eternally grateful to all of you."
"It's okay, we're glad that we can help out," says Tails.
"You're all heroes. Now you should meet Poseidon."
"Sure, where do we meet him?" Darkwing asks the old man.
"He is in a perpetual sleep at the bottom of the sea."
"Yeah… We'll have a problem with that." Darkwing points at Sonic and me. "They can't swim and we all can't breathe underwater."
"In order to swim underwater, you need Poseidon's Trident."
"Where can we get the trident?"
"Unfortunately, the monsters have gotten their claws on it…"
"And we have yet another problem," says Darkwing.
"We will just have to beat the monsters and take back the trident," says Crystal.
Sonic agrees with Crystal. We go over to the little girl who is with her younger brother. "You're the ones who saved my brother!" the little girl says to us. "He wants to go with you."
"It's too dangerous," Darkwing says to her.
"You know, he just may be able to help you. Don't go too far, though…"
"Great, now we are babysitting," says an unhappy Darkwing. We all go to the yellow building with Hotta following us.
"The trident must be in there," says Tails.
"But we still cannot get in," says Crystal.
Hotta walks up to the front of the yellow building. He punches a big hole in the brick wall with just one of his hands. I am amazed by how powerful he is while the others look at him in shocked.
"Whoa! Someone has been eating a lot of protein!" says Darkwing. "If he is this strong then how did he got capture in the first place?!"
"He's just a little boy, he doesn't know how to deal with monsters," says Amy.
"And it could be that the monsters ambushed him," says Tails.
We all go into the yellow building. I can't see anything in here. It is very, very dark. "Oh great, and here's me with no flashlight," says Darkwing who is unhappy.
We walk around in the dark, bumping into walls and bad guys. I hear a weird noise like something is opening. I try to walk over there but something bumps into me and falls on top of me. Someone else falls on top of us and then another and then another.
"Hey, what's this furry thing in my face?!" Darkwing shouts.
"Sorry, those are my tails," says Tails.
"I can't get up, someone is on top of me," says Amy.
"This is ridiculous, where is the light in this temple?!" Crystal shouts.
It takes us a while but we finally get back up. We carefully walk into a room. "I think the door closed on us," says Darkwing. "I can't find the way out."
We hear a noise and something flying above us. "I think there's a bat in this room," says Tails.
I heard someone falling down. "Ouch! It just knocked me over!" shouts Darkwing. "It must be a big bat monster."
"Ewwww, it spits something at me!" shouts Amy.
We try to fight the bat monster in the dark. I keep hearing bumping noises as they fight the bat monster. "Ouch! It got me…! Hey, why does this feel spikey?! Sonic is that you?!" Darkwing shouts. I think Sonic accidentally hits Darkwing.
I hear another bumping noise and hear Crystal saying, "Is that you Shion?"
"No, it's me," Tails says to Crystal.
"We cannot fight like this. We need some lights in here!" Crystal shouts.
After lots of tries, we finally beat the bat monster. The room lights up and I can see Shion with a lamp. The bat monster must have dropped it. The grey stone door opens and we go out of the room. This is much better, I can see everything now. We climb down the ladder in front of us. At the bottom I see a little hole in the wall. I wonder if we can get in there. As soon as we walk down the first hill, a very big rock comes rolling down toward us. Sonic quickly carries Amy while Tails carries me and we all run down the hills. We go so fast that we run way ahead. We go to the path under the hill. As soon as Shion, Crystal and Darkwing make it to the bottom, we quickly grab them and pull them to the path under the hill with Hotta following us below the hill. The big rock misses us and rolls down the hole. We follow the path and make our way up using the ladders. Little bone monsters attack us as we take this path. We find a switch which we press by jumping onto it. This must have unlocks something. We look around and see that the wall we went past turns into white boxes that we can break. We break the boxes and go through to…nothing.
"Wait, we unlocked this place and we found nothing but a dead end!" Darkwing shouts. We turn around to leave but see Hotta walking up to the wall at the side. He punches the wall, making a big hole for us to go in. "You've been working out…a lot, haven't you?" Darkwing says to Hotta.
We go through the hole and find a big red chest. We open the chest to find a big heart which makes Shion stronger. We go back out and go to the place with the switch. We jump over the wall to a door. We open the door and see that we back outside the yellow building.
"That must be the entrance," Tails says.
We go back in and climb the ladder back down to the hills. "Oh no, not again," says Darkwing.
We quickly run down the hills as the big rock rolls down toward us again. We dodge the big rock when we get to the bottom and then jump over the hole using the ladder to get to the next area. We jump down to the bottom and then climb up the ladder while avoiding arrows from the head statues on the walls. We go through the door at the top and follow the path to the next room. We fight off the small bone monster and normal size bone monsters. We find a switch but can't press it because the wall is in the way. We try to pull it down and push it down with our hands but it didn't work. We need to stand on it for it to work. We follow the path up. It looks like there is no place to go. Shion jumps onto the moving platform and jumps on top of the wall. The wall disappears, bit by bit. We watch as Shion falls down on top of the switch. This causes a little floor to appear in the hole where the wall was and turning the wall into white boxes. We break the boxes and jump across the floating floors. The last floating floor breaks but luckily there is a floor underneath that which does not break. We see a big red chest at the bottom so we drop down and open it after we beat the bone monster. We get a heart which makes us feel better when we're hurt. We go back round to get back up across the platforms and into the next room.
A lot of red ball monsters and little bone monsters attack us as we go across this room. We jump up to the door at the top and go in. This door is the exit that'll take us back out. We don't want that as we don't have the trident. We go back through the door and jump down the hole at the bottom. This takes us to the room at the bottom. More head statues fire arrows at us. I see Shion blocking the arrows by spinning his spear around. We follow the path to the left, dodging the dangerous pointed spears that come out of the small head statues on the floor and ceiling. We make it to what look like a dead end. Shion walks across and makes the floor at the end falls down. We jump down to what look like another dead end. Hotta walks over to the side wall and punches a hole in it. Hotta also digs the floor to dig out little coins. He sometime does this and it can be in any places. We go through hole and get a shield from the big red chest.
We make our way back into the other room and follow the path to the other end while avoiding the arrows and spears. We open the door using the switch and go into the next room where there are four blue fire and switches under those fires. We jump onto the first switch which causes all the fires to disappear. We press the other switches but they do nothing. The floors between the switches fall down when we step on them so we jump over them. We go back out and back in where the blue fires are back and the switches are back up. We press the second switch this time which causes the fire above it to go big. We press the next one next to us which causes the fire above that one to go big. We then press the switch at the end which causes all the fires to go out. We have to do it again. We go back out and back in. We press the second then the third then the first switch near the entrance to this room and then the switch at the end. This causes all the fires to go big and the floor at the end to fall down.
We jump down where we face with two rock-like monsters with faces and ears. They spit out big rocks that roll across the floor and then back into their mouths. They also spit tiny rocks that fly right at us. Shion blocks the tiny rocks from one of the rock monsters by spinning his spear around.
Darkwing block the tiny rocks from the other rock monster by using his cape like a shield. "It's a good thing I got the new and improved cape. It's made with very strong fabric that can block any attacks," Darkwing says to me.
While Shion and Darkwing block the attacks, Sonic and Tails spin jump at one of the rock monsters. Crystal uses punches and kicks to attack the rock monster. There're springs hiding in the floor under the floating platform we are on. I see Crystal uses the springs to avoid the big rock. After Sonic, Tails and Crystal beat one of the rock monsters; Shion jumps over to the other rock monster and attacks him with his spear. He jumps back onto the floating platform using the springs whenever the rock monster spits out the big rock at him. The rock monster now spits out two big rocks instead of one. Darkwing keeps on blocking the tiny rocks with his cape to protect me and Amy. Sonic, Tails and Crystal help Shion fight the rock monster. When they beat the rock monster, the rock monster drops lots of big gold coins and a big red chest. We open the chest to find the trident. We also find six white little round balls in the chest. The door appears next to me, Amy and Darkwing. We go through the door which takes us to the exit. We go back to the village where we find a door in the tree at the entrance of the village. That door wasn't there before. The little girl thanks us for helping her. She wants to know if her brother has been useful and that he can help find hidden rooms. We thank her and tell her that her brother has helped us a lot. We go into the house of the old man.
"You found the trident!" the old man says to us. Now you're able to swim underwater. Go find Poseidon!"
"Yeah, about that, we found these pearls in the chest with the trident. Do you know what they are for?" Darkwing asks the old man.
"Those are Poseidon's pearls. Hold onto the pearls and they will help you breathe and swim underwater."
"That's good to know but there're only six of them. Doesn't Shion need one?"
"Shion can breathe and swim underwater as long as he has the trident."
"Okay, well, I guess we're off to find Poseidon."
We go out of the house and go through the door in the tree. This takes us to another area with two happy trees with faces. We go through the door in the other tree which takes us back to the town in Purapril Castle outside the forest. This is a great shortcut to the village. Hotta is not following us now.
"Hey! That door wasn't there before!" says Darkwing.
"It must have appeared after we defeated the monsters," says Tails.
We rest up at the inn and then carry on with our adventure. We go out the front door of Purapril Castle and go back to the place with lots of water and trees. Me, Sonic, Tails, Amy, Darkwing and Crystal each carry a pearl while Shion gets the trident out. We all jump into the water.
I can breathe underwater and I can swim really good. Green fish man monsters with trident, big crab monsters and fish monsters attack us underwater. There are big fish monsters which remind me of the first very big fish monster I faced when I was with Leo and Priscila. This place is like a maze. There are wooden boards everywhere. Sometime we find ourselves going to lots of dead ends. We find the way to the big red chest under the wooden board that I saw earlier. It took lots of swimming around as well as jumping out of the water. Inside the big red chest is an armour. We go back to searching for Poseidon. We search everything underwater but we can't find Poseidon. We did find a red chest with a heart which makes Shion stronger.
"What about that water under the castle?" I say to them.
"Good idea Julie, just what I was going to say," says Darkwing.
We go back to Purapril Castle and make our way underground. We jump into the deep water and swim out of the underground castle while avoiding the spikey balls. We swim around looking for Poseidon. We find a red chest with thunder magic in it. When we can't find our way, we jump out of the water. Whoa, the monsters here are different, they are bigger! The crab monsters are big and the blue monkey monsters are big. There are also water plant monsters that spit at us. We take a look around this new place. We find a sword in the red chest at the far end of this place. We go the other way using the floating and flying platforms. Some of the floating platforms will bounce us higher into the sky. I have fun doing that. We are getting lots of golds from these big monsters. We jump back into the water after we cross the land. We search everywhere in this maze like place but we still can't find Poseidon. We did find a chest with lots of golds and more monsters attacking us. We go back out of the water to look for a way to find Poseidon. We find a house on land surrounded by water. We go inside and talk to the green haired girl.
"If you have the amulet, you can find the shrine at the bottom of the sea," the green haired girl says to us. "Let me have your ocarina and I'll tell you where to find the Amulet. What do you say?"
We all look at each other. "But the fairy in the village said that we can keep the ocarina," I say to my friends. "I don't want to lose it."
"It looks like we don't have a choice, she doesn't look like she wants anything else," says Amy.
"And we can't find the shrine so we have to give her the ocarina," says Darkwing. Darkwing notices that I look very sad. "Don't worry Julie; the ocarina will be in good hands. And we can tell Sonia that we gave away the ocarina for a good cause."
Shion gives the ocarina to the green haired girl. "There's a door hidden amidst four palm trees," the green haired girl says to us. "From there you should be able to find the amulet."
We go out of the house and jump across the platforms over to the other land. We beat the big crab monsters and find a red chest behind the wooden boards.
"Sonic, isn't this the place with the hidden door?" says Tails and he points at the four trees.
"Must be in the middle of those trees," says Darkwing.
We go to the middle of the four trees. Shion finds the invisible door and we all go through it. The invisible door takes us to the red chest that is behind the wooden boards. We open the chest to find the amulet. Wow, so there is a hidden door. Hey, there must be more hidden doors that'll lead us to other chests that we can't reach. When we go back underwater, we should look for any dead ends that may have hidden doors. We go back out and back into the water. We swim around and finally find the shrine at the bottom.
We swim around inside the shrine. We jump out of the water and look around. We find dead ends with arrows pointing up at the corner. Shion jumps up to the corner to get gold coins from it. We go back underwater and find a chest holding a heart inside which make Shion stronger. The green fish man monsters with trident are wearing armour. To get deeper into the shrine we need to get past the fans. The only problem is that some of the fans won't stop and they keep pushing us away. We need to find red switches and destroy them to stop the fans from blowing. In one of the rooms we find a spell called return. I think it will get us out of dungeon and back to a safe place. We carefully swim across the room with lots of fans and fish man monsters, and then follow the path which takes us out of the water. Bone monsters with armour, sword and shield attack us when we get out of the water. I find it funny how every time we hit them, they do a funny pose. They look like they are dancing. At one end of the room, we find a chest with a heart that makes us feel better. We go to the other end of the room where we jump into the water at the end. We can't get into this small room because of the fans. We look around but couldn't find a switch to stop it. We swim down into a room with fans and a big fish monster. The fish monster spits little fishes at us. We have to be careful as the fans will push us into the big fish monster if we're not careful. After several hits, we beat the fish monster and collect the big bag of money from it. The bottom of the room opens up and we follow the path where we meet with a very big guy with a big beard. He must be the person we are looking for.
"You're here at last. The legendary hero," says Poseidon.
"You were expecting him?" Darkwing asks.
"The Elder Dragon is waiting for you. Before you meet him, though, visit the Sphinx to increase your strength. There's a pyramid just beyond the Maugham Desert. An item that will help you cross the desert is hidden somewhere in this shrine. Find it and then go see the Sphinx," Poseidon says to Shion.
We swim back to the other room and find that the fan that was blocking our path into that small room had stop. We swim in and get the Oasis Boots and six golden palm trees metals from the red chest. The golden palm trees metals are in the shape of two palm trees on top of water.
"Now we have to swim all the way back to the castle to the desert," says Darkwing. "Is there a quicker way to get there?"
"What about that spell that Shion found, the Return spell?" asks Amy.
Shion uses the Return spell which quickly sends us all the way to the inn in Purapril Castle. "Wow! That was quick," says Darkwing.
"We can use the Return spell to return to the inns that we last visited," says Tails.
"Can't we use this spell to warp to, I don't know, maybe the pyramid in the very hot desert?" says Darkwing.
"If the spell can do that then it would be called Teleport instead of Return," says Amy.
"…Um, yep, I knew that," says Darkwing.
We rest up at the inn and then go to the desert. "See Julie, I told you we'll find a way," says Amy.
Shion puts on the Oasis Boots while me, Sonic, Amy, Tails, Darkwing and Crystal each take the golden palm trees metals. We have no problem going through the desert. The Oasis Boots and the golden palm trees metals keep us cool while we walk through the desert. Blue snake monsters and red scorpion monsters attack us while we cross the desert. We have to be careful of the scorpion monsters because they hide in the sand and they shoot at us with their tail. We carry on walking through the desert until I fall down the hole at the bottom of the sands. The sands were moving down into the hole and I got pull in by the moving sands. I fall down at the bottom. I look up and see Shion, Sonic and Darkwing jumping down. They came to help me. We look around the place looking for the way out. We need to get up using the small moving platforms but they are too high up for us to jump up. We walk around and find another way up. We find hidden coins at the bottom corner of this place and find a Quake spell on the end room of the next floor. We can reach the moving small platforms on the second floor. We use the moving platforms to get back up and out of the hole. I see Tails carrying Amy and Crystal over the hole by using his tails to fly over it. We quickly jump across the moving sand and onto the other side.
"Julie, I'm so happy that you're not hurt!" Amy says to me. She hugs me. "Be careful, you could have gotten hurt."
"You don't need to worry, I'll protect her," says Darkwing.
"You forgot about Sonic and Shion," Amy says to Darkwing.
"Yeah, and them too."
"Do not forget about me, I am helping out as well," says Crystal.
"Me too," says Tails.
I smile knowing that my friends are here to help me whenever I get myself into trouble. We carry on walking through the desert. We find broken stones and a ladder that go down.
"Just what we needed, a well," says Darkwing. He looks down into the well. "That's strange, where's the waaaaaaaaateeeeeeeeeer!" Darkwing falls down the well while shouting water. We climb down the ladder and find a chest with a Shield spell. We climb down and find Darkwing lying face down on the floor. Darkwing slowly gets up and straightens his mouth which was bent by the fall. "Ouch! Why can't I fall into the water instead of the floor?"
"You okay?" Crystal asks.
"I'm fine, I used to this." We climb down the next ladder into the water. "Oh, there's the water, great," says Darkwing. He's still not happy about falling onto the floor instead of the water. We go into the door at the side. I think we are inside the pyramid. There're pictures on the wall and mummy monsters. This room is a dead end and there're no doors or path into the pyramid. We go back out. "I just take a quick drink," says Darkwing. He puts his head into the water. He lifts his head back out. "Hey, there's a path at the bottom! We can swim down there and see where it goes."
We swim down the water beating the water monsters that throw things at us. We find a chest that has a Sun Key. We take it and go back up and out of the water. We climb out of the well and go across to the pyramid. There's a square block where a door should be. We can't go in so we walk past and find a door in the next square block. We want to look around so we walk past the door and see another square block where a door should be. I think we need keys to unlock them. Past the pyramid are more desert and more monsters. At the end of the desert is a very big wall. We can't climb up the wall so we go back to the pyramid and go into the door. We look around at the bottom but didn't find anything except for dead ends. There are round looking ghosts with little ears floating around. It's hard to see them when they go invisible. We can just beat them with our attacks. The only way to go is up the rope. Shion, Crystal and Darkwing climb up the rope while Tails carries both Sonic and Amy and flies up.
Darkwing notices that I am not climbing the rope. "Julie, is there something wrong?" he asks me.
"I don't know how to climb," I say to him. I jump up onto the rope and try to climb up only for me to fall down on my bottom.
Darkwing jumps down to me and carries me on his back. "Hold on tight."
We go up, avoiding the arrows from the head statues at both sides. We make it to the top and find a Moon Key in the chest. We jump past the rope, beat the ghost monster and jump down the hole at the end of this room. We beat the mummy monster and press on a switch which causes the wall next to us to fall down into a bridge. We cross the bridge into the next room where we beat a ghost monster and then go down the hole. We land on the moving floor which pushes us into a little dead end with a chest. We open the chest to get a heart that makes us feel better. It's a good thing because we got hit by those arrows and ghost monsters that are very hard to see. We quickly run across the moving floor, beating the ghost monster and pushing down another switch which makes the wall next to us fall down into a bridge. We jump across moving floors and spikes, and we beat another ghost monster. We jump down the hole into more moving floors and spikes. Mummy monsters get in our way as we cross the moving floors. We push down another switch, cross the bridge, go over the moving floors and spikes, and go into the hole at the end of this room. We fall down into a small room with a switch. There's a little hole at the bottom of the wall. I wonder where that goes to. We push down the switch which causes the floor to fall down. We jump down the hole and find another small hole in the wall. We go to the next room where there are mummy monsters and falling spiked ceiling. We duck down in the holes on the floor to avoid the spiked ceiling. Sometime the mummy monsters may blow up and send little spikes at us. We carefully beat the mummy monsters and cross this room while avoiding the falling spiked ceiling. In the next room is a big mummy monster with a sword and shield. He is very hard to beat but we find a way to beat him. We just keep jumping and hitting him. We jump over the high floor where we face with another mummy monster with a sword and shield. We beat him the same way. These mummy monsters drop lots of money in a little bag.
"Looks like we're going to fight the big boss," says Darkwing.
"Let me guess, that door with the skull gave it away," says Crystal.
"As you know by now that usually mean there's a boss battle."
We go through the door where we face with a very big cat. "So you've arrived. As you may have guessed, I'm the Sphinx," says the very big cat. "I've got this thing for quizzes, but then you've probably heard that by now."
"Yes, someone in the castle told us," says Amy.
I have this feeling that this is no normal boss battle. Is he going to ask us questions? I never did that before, this is going to be fun. "Tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna ask you some questions; 5, to be exact. When you've answered them all correctly, I'm gonna send you into a new world. Are you ready?" says the Sphinx.
"What is this, a game show?!" shouts Darkwing.
"Let's just do what he says," Amy says to Darkwing.
"Here's the first question. Which of these monsters did you battle first? A – Eleanora, B – Mecha-Dragon or C – Myconid?"
"It can't be Eleanora because she's the queen of that fairy village," Crystal says to us.
"And it can't be the Mecha-Dragon because the first monster we battle wasn't a dragon," Tails says to us. He turns to the Sphinx and says to him, "So the answer is Myconid."
The Sphinx has swirly eyes and says, "Correct." He goes back to normal. "Here's the second question. What item helped you to traverse Maugham Desert? A – Puss'n Boots, B – Oasis Boots or C – Desert Boots?"
"That's easy, it's the Oasis Boots," says Amy.
"Correct. Here's the third question. How much does a Charmstone cost? A – 500000 golds, B – 5000000 golds or C – 50000 golds?"
I look at my friends in confusion. "I don't know," I say.
"That's a trick question?" says Tails.
"How are we supposed to know that and what is a Charmstone?!" shouts Crystal.
"It's A – 500000," says Darkwing.
"Correct," says the Sphinx.
Darkwing notices that we are all looking at him. "What?!" Darkwing asks us.
"How did you know that?!" Crystal asks him.
"Umm, well… Back in town while you were resting in the inn, I was exploring the town and happened to found a secret shop that sells Charmstones. You wouldn't believe how much he is selling it for. That's daylight robbery…unless it's very rare and very useful," Darkwing says to us.
"Here's the fourth question. Which of these items is not sold at the Wanderer weapon shop? A – Steel Shield, B – Trident or C – Excalibur?"
"It's the Trident, we didn't buy it in the weapon shop," says Tails.
"Correct. Here's the final question. After defeating Gragg & Glagg, what did you receive? A – amulet, B – lamp or C – trident?"
"Who're Gragg and Glagg?!" shouts Darkwing.
"They're the two monsters that spit rocks at us," I say to Darkwing. "You know, the two monsters that looked the same."
"Then the answer is the trident," says Amy.
"Correct. That's fantastic! You got every one right! As your reward, I bestow upon you Thunder magic. You may pass. Jump from the top of the pyramid and enter a new world," says the Sphinx.
Those questions are kinda hard for me to answer, my sister could help me to answer them, she's good with knowing words. We go into a small room and get a Star Key from the chest. We go through the door and find ourselves back in the room near the room with the falling spiked ceiling.
"So where are we supposed to go?" asks Darkwing.
"The sphinx said to jump from the top of the pyramid and enter a new world," says Tails.
"Then we need to find a way to the very top of the pyramid," says Darkwing. He thinks about it. "Let's go out and try the other doors. Maybe one of them will lead us to the top." We use the flying platform to go back to the room above. Darkwing looks around and asks, "Wasn't there a wall here?"
"The Sphinx must have removed it. Now we can exit this pyramid," says Tails.
We jump over the spikes, run across the moving floor and beat a ghost monster. We are back in the room where we climbed up the rope. We go out of the pyramid, go through the door at the other end and get the Pygmy Shield from the chest in this small room. We go back out and go through the door near the well. We climb up the ropes all the way to the top of the pyramid. At the top, we find two statues and in the middle is a small silver platform with a red square in the middle. We jump up onto that platform which takes us to a different place. We go down the hills to see if we can find anything good. Little brown pointed ear monsters attack us in this place. When they quickly jump several time, that's when they throw their spears at us. I keep hearing a sound that sounds like a rock falling down the hills. We follow the path to a sign that says, 'Danger! The desert lies ahead!' I look down and see that it's a long way down from here. We go back up the hills and past the two statues. We carrying on going up while beating the monsters and jumping over the rocks that come rolling down at us.
We keep going up until we make it to what look like a castle. The sign says, 'Begonia, the dragon village'. We go into the inn which has a blue dragon inside. The blue dragon asks us if we want to rest in the inn. We say yes to him as we are tired. After a good sleep in the inn, we go back out to explore this place. We talk to a blue dragon who tells us that the Elder Dragon has something he wishes to discuss with us. We go to the bottom door where we meet with the Elder Dragon. He is a very big green dragon with horns, claws and wings.
"Wait a second! How did a big dragon like him got into this place through that door?!" Darkwing asks us.
"There's probably another entrance that he used to get in here," says Tails.
"At last you've come. I knew you would appear before too long," says the Elder Dragon.
"You been expecting him too?! How does everybody know that Shion will come?!" asks Darkwing.
"Now, you must search for the old axe hidden in Ice World," says the Elder Dragon.
"Sure, ignore me and get straight to the point why don't you," says Darkwing.
"To get to Ice World, you'll need this special bracelet." The Elder Dragon gives Shion the special bracelet.
We go back out and explore the town. All the shops except for the inn are closed. We go past the castle where we find a little house. Inside the house we talk to the blue dragon wearing red clothes.
"To enter the volcano you must enter the room on the other side of this door, but in order to enter, you must have the following items: the Pygmy Sword, Pygmy Armor, Pygmy Shield and Pygmy Boots. One of the items is missing. Continue your search," the blue dragon says to us.
"Why do we need to go into the volcano?" Darkwing asks us.
"We might need to go there later," says Amy.
We go back out and go to look at the volcano. It's a big mountain with a very small door. Darkwing looks closely at the very small door. "How are we supposed to get in there?! I don't think those items will help us unless they have the ability to shrink you."
We go back to town and go through the door at the entrance. We're in another room with another door. We go in that door which take us to a room with a ladder. We climb down the ladder to a room with a bed. We go out the door at the bottom and find ourselves back at Purapril.
"I'm not going to question it anymore. As long as it's a useful shortcut then its fine by me," says Darkwing.
The Elder Dragon told us to go to the Ice World. That must be that cold place with the mountain and that ice block. We go back through the underground and back to that cold place with lots of snow. This time we make sure to break the white boxes into a stairs so that we can climb up. Tails flies over to the chest and opens it. We get the Quake spell from the chest. As soon as we get close to the mountain, the bracelet glows and shoots fire at the ice block, destroying it.
"Wow, I got to get one of those," says Darkwing.
We go through the mountain where we face with penguin monsters that jump at us and blue little ice ghost-like monsters that freeze the floors. Me, Darkwing and Crystal fall down on the slippery ices while Sonic has a hard time running across it. He also has a hard time stopping as well. We make our way across while beating the monsters. We make it to a town called Childam, the Darkworld village. The houses are in the ice wall. We talk to a red person that has the hood hiding the face. We find out that there is a secret in the surface of the walls of Ice Castle. A girl in blue clothes asks us if we know where the prince went. We tell her that we didn't know where he is. We rest up at the inn and go inside the door near the inn.
"You're the legendary hero I've heard so much about," says the blue haired girl in the house. "The item you're looking for is in Ice Castle. Be warned, it's a frightening place. Take Shabo with you, in case you need help."
A flying blue guy in a hat flies over Shion. The hat hides his face and we can only see his eyes which look like they are closed. We go outside and see that Shabo is following us.
"I don't feel safe with him following behind us," says Darkwing.
"He's here to help us," I say to Darkwing.
"Okay, but I'm still keeping my eyes on him just in case."
We go past the village toward the Ice Castle. We beat the monsters on our way to the Ice Castle. We're getting lots of golds in small bags from the monsters in here. We jump onto the moving ice platform that moves across the spikes. We have to be careful because the moving ice platform is too slippery that we might slip off the platform onto the spike below. Darkwing keeps a hold of me to make sure that I don't fall off. I look at the sky and see beautiful lights at the top. We jump to the other side and go inside the Ice Castle. We go into the lift which takes us down.
"Here's a lift right here. Why can't there be a lift in that pyramid? It would have been much easier than climbing up all those ropes," says Darkwing.
"They might not have enough time or materials to build one," says Tails.
Sonic gives Darkwing a look that says 'What's wrong, tired?' Darkwing notices it and says, "Why are you smiling like that? Did something good happen to you?"
Amy laughs. "No silly. Sonic said what's wrong, are you tired."
"I knew that," Darkwing quickly says. "And no, a hero like me is never tired of climbing ropes. It's just…umm…Julie…yeah, Julie can't climb ropes. It would have been easier for her to take a lift."
I smile at Darkwing. He always thinks about me. "Darkwing, you're the best! You always help me!" I say to him.
Darkwing smiles back at me. "That's what a hero does; always helping others."
Sonic gives me a smile and a thumb up. "And you too Sonic, you're the best!" I say to him.
"Julie, which one is the best hero?" Darkwing asks me.
"I like all of you!" I say to everybody.
"You can't pick just one of us?"
"Nope, I like all of you!"
Everybody laugh and then smile at me. We go out of the lift. "Watch your first step, this floor could be slliiiiippppppperrrrrryyyyyyy!" Darkwing shouts out the word slippery as he slides across the floor.
"Whhhhhooooooooaaaaa!" we all shout as we slide across the floor and fall into the hole.
We all fall down into the Ice Castle. I land on something soft. "Guys, do you mind getting off me, I'm getting squished down here," says Darkwing in a weird voice.
I look down and see that I am on top of Shion, Crystal, Amy, Sonic and Darkwing, Darkwing being at the very bottom. Tails flies down and helps me to get off of them. I help Tails to get them back up.
"Thanks for breaking our fall Darkwing," says Amy.
"No problem," says Darkwing in a weird voice. He coughs and clears his throat to get his voice back to normal.
We jump to the lower floor and move across only to stop at the high wall. Tails flies up. "Everybody, watch out!" he shouts at us.
We quickly move out of the way as a block of ice flies past us. "That was too close," says Crystal.
"Everybody, run back!" Tails shouts. More ice blocks come at us. We run back up the high wall using the spring on the floor.
"What was that?" I ask.
"A yeti threw them," says Tails. "I couldn't get close enough to beat him. He kept throwing the ices at us."
"Guess we got to find another way around," says Darkwing.
We jump over the spike to a purple statue and floating ice platforms above us. Shion hits the statue which causes a floating ice platform to appear in front of us. We use that platform to climb up to a rope in the wall. Shion jumps and pulls down the rope which causes the wall to fall into a bridge. We cross the bridge and drop down the little hole with a purple statue. Shion hits the statue which causes the floor under us to fall down. We jump over the ices and beat the yeti monster that walks over to us. We climb up the grass rope to the floating platforms and use the floating platforms to make our way upward. In the next room is a big block of ice in the wall. We can't break it so we follow the path down where we fight more of those yeti monsters. Shabo helps us fight by throwing his weapon at the yeti monsters. His weapon is like a boomerang as it always comes back to him. We go across the room, jumping over spikes. We jump up across the floating platform to a wall and a rope. Shion pulls the rope and we heard a noise that sounds like something is opening. We go back across while beating more yeti monsters that show up. Some of these yeti monsters drop very big bag full of golds. We climb back up using the grass ropes and find that the big block of ice in the wall has opened. We jump through and use the moving platform to jump up to the next room. We make it outside the castle. We go into the lift that takes us up.
We go out onto what looks like the top of the castle. Yeti monsters are around this place as well as snow animal monsters that walk on all four of their feet. Those snow animal monsters looked like those monsters I faced when I was with Leo and Priscila. Sonic quickly spin dashes into the monsters, hurting them. Shion finishes off the monsters with the trident while Darkwing and Crystal knock them out with their punches and kicks. Some of the monsters may drop small or big hearts that make us feel better. We slide across the floor beating the monsters until we make it to a wall. Sonic bumps into the wall and falls down. He can't run properly on the ice.
"Oh Sonic, are you okay?" asks Amy. She goes over to Sonic. "Where does it hurt?"
I look at Sonic and notice that he giving Amy the look that says 'I'm doing okay, I'm not hurt'. I don't think Sonic like it when Amy worried too much about him.
"Oh Sonic, that's what I love about you. Even when you're hurt, you always put on a brave face."
I look at Sonic and notice that he has a worried look. I don't think Sonic like it when Amy said that. I wonder why. We climb up the ladder to the next floor above us. We beat the monsters and jump over the hole. We climb up the next ladder and jump across the floating platforms. The floating platform near the castle moves down when we step on it. We have to be careful as it'll send us flying into the air when it moves up. We go into the castle, beat the snow animal monster and open the chest to get the Pygmy Boots and six Pygmy Bracelets.
"Isn't this the last item we need for that room back at that dragon village?" asks Darkwing. "And what are these? He didn't mention anything about the Pygmy Bracelets."
"We can ask him when we get there but for now let us get the old axe," says Crystal.
We go back outside and climb up the next ladder and go in the door. We jump down to the bottom of the room where we fight with a very big blue bear monster.
"Is this the boss?! We didn't go through the boss door!" Darkwing shouts.
The bear monster quickly runs at us. Shion keeps the bear monster away from us by spinning the trident. Sonic, Tails, Darkwing and Crystal attack the bear monster when they get the chance. It takes lots of hits before we beat the bear monster. We pick up a big bag of golds from the bear monster and then we walk across the room to the end where we climb up the grass rope. We open up the chest in a small room to get a blue gem. We climb up the grass rope to the top and go back outside through the door. We go to the other side and jump over the hole. We climb up the ladder and go in the door. We slide down the hills to the bottom room where we face with a very big version of those snow animal monsters.
"Yike! This must be the big daddy," says Darkwing with a shocked look on his face. The very big snow animal monster attacks us. We beat him the same way as the big bear monster. "Phew, that took several hits to defeat him. How many hits did it took to defeat it?" Darkwing asks us.
"We did not kept count," says Crystal.
"About ten hits or more," says Amy.
"We need to get you a stronger weapon," Darkwing says to Shion. "We got lots of golds from the monsters we defeated so we could get you a better sword and shield from the store."
"And buy the bottle that make you better," I say.
"That's right Julie. We'll buy some more potions as well."
We climb up the grass rope and jump to a little room that has a chest with the gold gem. We climb up the grass rope to the top and go out through the door. We jump over the hole to get to the other side of this castle. We jump across the floating platforms; again, the one near the castle sends us flying into the air. We make it in where we beat a snow animal monster and get a chest that has a heart that makes Shion stronger. We go back out and jump back over the hole. We climb up the ladder and go past the door. We climb to the top using the floating platform. At the top we find two little dragon statues on top of what supposed to be a door. Shion jumps across the small floors to get to the end where he finds a hole in the wall. He puts the blue gem inside it. He jumps back to us.
"Here Shion, let me put that other gem in," says Tails.
Shion gives Tails the gold gem. Tails flies over to the other end and puts the gold gem in the hole. This causes a grey door to appear under the two little dragon statues. Tails flies back to us and we all go through the door. It is very dark outside.
We take the lift down and go out across the ice floor where we face with a snowman monster with a carrot nose, arms, red hands and red feathers for a tail. He has red paints on his face and wears a feather hat like in those cartoons with the Indian I watched on TV. He keeps flying backward so we chase after him. We try to hit him but hitting his body doesn't hurt him. We need to hit his head. Me and Amy keep sliding across the bottom floor to avoid the snowman monster attacks. The snowman monster spits out little snowballs with faces at us. Shion, Sonic, Darkwing and Crystal jump up to the floating ice platforms and try to hit the snowman monster in the face while avoiding the snowman monster's attacks. Tails flies above them and helps them by beating the little snowballs that come at them. When there are no more ice platforms showing up, Tails carries Shion and flies him toward the snowman monster. The snowman monster spits out more snowballs and spits them at Tails and Shion. Darkwing grabs Sonic by the hand and throws Sonic at the snowballs. Sonic spin jumps at the snowballs, defeating them all. Tails flies Shion right at the snowman monster. Shion hits the snowman monster with the trident several times. They move away from the snowman monster as he continues to spit out snowballs at us. More floating ice platforms show up as we chase after him. Tails drops Shion onto the floating ice platform and flies away as the snowballs slowing chase after Tails. Shion runs toward the snowman monster. The snowman monster spits out lots of snowballs at him. Sonic, Darkwing and Crystal quickly run toward the snowballs and hit every single one of them, clearing the way for Shion. Shion quickly runs toward the snowman monster and hits his face several times to defeats him. The snowman monster drops lots of golds and a chest. We open the chest to get the old axe.
"Let's take this old axe to the Elder Dragon," says Amy. We go through the door to the exit. We are back in the ice village.
"Don't tell me we have to walk all the way back to Purapril Castle," says Darkwing. We look around the village to see if there is a shortcut. I want to go through the door near that shop with the ladder. I climb up the ladder and jump over to the door. The others follow me. "Julie, that's the door we came out of. It'll take us back to the Ice Castle," Darkwing says to me. We go through the door which takes us to a snowing place with another door. We go to the other door and find ourselves in a very small room. We go out the door next to us to find that we are in Purapril Castle at the very corner near the item shop. Darkwing looks at the door in confusion. "What, how is that possible?! That door we just used in the ice village, that's the door we used to get out of the Ice Castle. How did that door- how did it- how?"
"It got to be magic. The people here use magic to make these magic doors appear," says Amy.
"Good point, I know one time when I went to this bizarre room… I wanted to hurt the person who designed that," says Darkwing.
We rest up at the inn and take the doors to the dragon village. We go straight to the Elder Dragon.
"So, you've managed to get your hands on the old axe. The blacksmith will give you all the details," says the Elder Dragon.
"Blacksmith?" I ask.
"It's a person who makes weapons," Darkwing says to me.
"This boy is my grandson. Take him with you, for I believe he can be of some help," says the Elder Dragon. A white egg rolls past the Elder Dragon and toward us. It stops in front of us and breaks open. A little green dragon comes out of the egg and follows us.
"Oh great, we're on babysitting duty again," says Darkwing. He looks at the Elder Dragon. "Not that there's anything wrong with that, I mean he will be very helpful to us!" We walk out of the room. "Wait! Did that little dragon just came rolling in an egg from the Elder Dragon?!" Darkwing says to us.
"Yeah, it roll to us," I say.
"Doesn't that make the Elder Dragon a female?!"
"Huh?!" I don't understand what Darkwing is talking about.
Amy pushes Darkwing, causing him to fall on the floor. "Don't be silly Darkwing, that little baby dragon is his grandson. He said it himself."
"Son," I say. That little dragon is the Elder Dragon's son since he gave him to us.
"Not son Julie, grandson. The baby dragon is the grandson of the Elder Dragon," Amy says to me.
"Grandson?"
"The Elder Dragon has a son or daughter and they will fall in love with another dragon and have a son," says Amy.
"I think it would be easier if we show her," says Darkwing. He gets back up from the floor and gets out a paper and a pen. He draws something on the paper and then shows me his drawing. There's the drawing of a big dragon and under him is a drawing of a medium dragon. And at the bottom is a drawing of a baby dragon. "The dragon at the top is the Elder Dragon. If we follow the line down to this dragon here, this dragon here is his son. Now we follow this line to the bottom where we find the baby dragon which is this dragon's son." Darkwing points at the medium dragon. "This also makes the baby Dragon the grandson of the Elder Dragon because the baby dragon is the son of his son."
Oh, so the Elder Dragon had a son and his son had a son which is his grandson. I get it now. We go to the house where we find the blacksmith who is a yellow dragon. "I would create a sword from the old axe, but a necessary item to do so has been stolen from me," the yellow dragon says to us.
"What?! That's just great. Where did the thief go?" says Darkwing.
"Let us quickly search around for him," says Crystal.
We go out and talk to the dragons in the village. One of the dragons tells us that someone is carrying the Fire Urn to the volcano. We go to the building near the volcano. "Hello, we got the items needed but we got these bracelets too," Darkwing says to the blue dragon wearing clothes.
"Ah yes, those are the Pygmy Bracelets. They are for you to wear," the blue dragon says to us. "You have satisfied the requirements. You may enter."
We all go into the door. It feels like something is flashing in this dark and colourful small room. It also feels like the whole room has gotten bigger. I see that I am wearing the Pygmy Bracelet on my arm. We jump down to the door at the bottom. The door is so big. We go through the door which takes us back to the room with the blue dragon wearing clothes. The blue dragon looks so big now. I think we shrunk.
"Is it me or did the whole world got bigger?" says Darkwing. "This reminds me of that adventure we had when I first met Sonic. Remember we got hit by a laser that shrunk us," Darkwing says to Sonic. "We have to find another laser that return us back to normal." Sonic smiles and nods his head.
Now that we are this small, we can fit in that very small door. Hey, we can fit in small spaces like that little path in the pyramid. We should go back there and check it out after we go to the volcano. We go into the very small door to the volcano. We jump down and see that our path is block by a big stone wall. We go the other way where we walk through the room full of lavas, fire birds and fire monsters with sword and shield. We open a chest to get the power spell. The little green dragon helps us by breathing fire at the bad guys. We find a switch which we push down by jumping on top of it. We go back to the room with the stone wall. The stone wall has now open up and we go through it, beating the green snake monster that attacks us.
We jump over the spikes on the floor and jump up and over the big stone on the floor. In the next room we face with more fire birds and fire monsters. We use the flying platform to get over the big lava. We jump over the spikes and find another switch at the end of this room. We press it and go back to the other room. The big stone on the floor is gone, leaving a big hole in the floor. We jump down the hole where we find another stone wall blocking our path. We go the other way to find another switch. We have to jump over spikes and jump across the flying platforms over the lava. Fireballs monsters with eyes come out of the lava. Shion quickly beats them before they can burn us. Sonic, Tails, Darkwing and Crystal can't fight the fire monsters in here because they'll get burn if they touch them. Shion and the little green dragon beat the monsters in here. We get lots of golds in big bags from the monsters. We find the switch at the end of the room. We press it and go back to the room with the stone wall. We beat a green snake monster and walk pass a hole above us. We go into the next room where we face with more fire monsters, spiked floors and lavas. We press the switch at the end of the room and are about to go back until we get attack by the fireballs monsters. Shion and the little green dragon attack the monsters while the rest of us dodge them. We accidentally fall into the lava at the end of the room.
"Ahhhhhh…huh? Why aren't we burning? Not that I'm complaining but we just fell into the lava," says Darkwing. We look around. "Hey, we're in a secret room."
"This secret room must be hidden by the fake lava. That's very clever as nobody will jump into the lava on purpose," says Tails.
Shion and the little green dragon jump down after us. We open the chest to get a heart that makes Shion stronger. We go through the door which takes us back to the room with the hole above us. A flying platform has appears and we use it to go up through the hole above us. Another stone wall is in our way. We go to the other room where we defeat the fire monsters, jump over the lavas using flying platforms and jump over spikes. We press the switch and go back to the room where we go through the opened stone wall. We beat the snake monster and go to the next room. We walk across the floor and down the ladder near the other end of the room. We climb down the next ladder next to us as the path is blocked by square walls. We break the white boxes and go through the door. This door takes us to the exit. We go back through the door we just came out. This takes us to the room with the green snake monster, an opened stone door and a hole with a flying platform going up and down.
"Huh?! How did we get back in this room?!" asks Darkwing. We go back through the door that we just came out of. We are back in the room with the ladders and the exit door behind the white boxes. "This doesn't make any sense! There're no other paths between the doors. How did that door leads to this door? And that door we just gone through leading to this room when we just used it to get out of that room with the exit…? Now I'm confusing myself," says Darkwing.
That is confusing but I don't think about it. Right now we need to beat the bad guys and get the thing back. We climb back down the ladders to the bottom. We then jump onto the floating long platform over the lava and walk across it to the other end. We beat the fireballs monsters and jump across the smaller floating platforms. The smallest floating platform moves down when we stand on it. It makes a weird sound when it is pressed down. It sounds like it has change something in this room. We go back to the ladder and climb up it. We beat the snake monsters that attack us.
"I'm definitely sure those weren't there when we came here," says Darkwing and he points at the white boxes in front of us.
Darkwing's right, there were square walls there. That small platform we stepped on must have changed the wall into white boxes. We break down the white boxes where we find a chest hiding there. We open it to get a heart that makes us feel better. We break the rest of the white boxes and then jump down to the door at the bottom of the hole. We go through the door and beat the fire monster with the sword. We follow the path to the boss door and go through it. This room has a rock wall in the background. We can see the lava in the hole of the wall. There're two little platforms at the both sides of the room, a long platform near the bottom and two floating platforms in the air at the top. There's a hole at the bottom just big enough for us to fit in. A big purple dragon with horns and wings jump down in front of us.
"Uh oh," says Darkwing. "Run!"
Amy quickly grabs my hand and takes me up the small platforms at the side and onto the floating platform at the top. Shion, Sonic, Tails, Darkwing and Crystal quickly jump down and hide under the small hole under the long platform. The dragon goes to the end of the hole and breathes fire into it. I hope the others are okay. I look down through the hole in the middle of the two floating platforms. I see them coming out of the other end of the hole.
"It's a good thing you got that shield to protect us," says Darkwing. "My cape isn't fireproof so I can't block it."
They attack the dragon by hitting him by the head when he is not breathing fire. I don't think they're hurting the dragon with their small attacks.
"It would be easy if the Elder Dragon is here to help us fight the dragon," I say. "He's big enough to fight the dragon."
"Julie, the Elder Dragon may be big but he is old. I don't think he has the strength to beat this dragon," Amy says to me.
"Come on, how many hits can he take?!" Darkwing shouts.
"Our attacks don't do much damage because we're small," says Tails.
"Shion, isn't there a magic that can help us? Any magic that's powerful enough to beat the dragon before he turn me and Crystal into roast ducks."
Shion uses a magic that makes shining things when he swings his sword. I think that makes his attacks stronger. Shion quickly hits the dragon in the head and block the fire attacks with his shield. After a while, he runs away from the dragon as the magic disappears. Tails distracts the dragon long enough for Shion to use the magic again. Shion goes back to attacking the dragon. After a lot of hits, we beat the dragon. Lots of small and big bags of golds fall to the ground and a chest appears. We collect the golds and open the chest to get the Fire Urn. We go through the door to the exit. We are back outside the volcano. We go into the building near the volcano and go through the door where the room turns us back to normal size. We go back out and go straight to the blacksmith.
"With the Fire Urn, I can create a sword from the old axe. It will take some time. The Elder Dragon was calling for you a while ago so why don't you go and see him?" the yellow dragon says to us.
We go out of the blacksmith house and go to the bottom door to see the Elder Dragon. As soon as we go through the door to the Elder Dragon, we hear lots of banging sounds. I look around to see where that sound is coming from.
"That's the blacksmith working," Tails says to me.
We go to the Elder Dragon. "The deciding battle is now at hand. After receiving the legendary sword from the blacksmith, go to the bell tower at Purapril Castle and point the sword toward the sky. Emerge victorious and return safely! We're counting on you!" says the Elder Dragon.
As soon as we go out the door, the noise stops. We go back to the blacksmith where he gives us the sword that he made. The sword is big and has a blue handle with a yellow star on it. We go out and are going to go back to Purapril Castle until Sonic points at the building near the volcano.
"Don't tell me you forgot something," says Darkwing.
Sonic shakes his head at Darkwing. "Sonic is saying that we should shrink down again and go through the little gaps in the pyramid," says Tails.
"And the one in the jungle," I say. "After that, we should look underwater for any hidden doors."
"Okay, that settled it. We'll shrink down and find hidden treasures through those small gaps and then we go underwater to find hidden doors," says Darkwing. We go back to the building near the volcano and shrink down to a small size. "The quickly way to the pyramid should be past the dragon village and to the two statues," says Darkwing.
We go past the dragon village and make our way down the hill, beating the bad guys that attack us. We make it to the two statues and go between them where we get teleported inside the pyramid. We climb down the ropes to the very bottom and go through the small gap. We press on the switch which makes the floor falls down. We jump down to the next room. We go through the small gap here and climb down the rope where we find four doors. We go through the far door on one side of the room. This takes us to a different room with lots of paths.
"Shion, you take Julie and go to the first path while we take the paths further away," says Darkwing.
Me and Shion jump down the first path where we find a chest at the bottom. We open it to get lots of golds. We go through the door which takes us back to the room with the four doors. We come out of the second door which is next to the door that we just went in. Crystal comes out the door next to us and then Darkwing comes out of the fourth door. Then Tails comes out through the door that me and Shion came out of. Amy comes out the door that Crystal came out of. Sonic comes out of the door that Darkwing came out of.
Darkwing looks at Sonic. "Did you follow me? I thought the plan was to split up and take each path," says Darkwing.
Sonic scratches his head and looks confused. "Sonic did take the other path. I know because I was with him," says Amy.
"Then how come you two came out of different doors?"
"The path we took split up into two paths. I took the path to the left while Sonic took the path to the right."
"Right, all the doors we gone through lead back here. Did anyone find anything?" asks Darkwing.
"Chest full of golds," I say.
"Same here, after we found a chest of golds, I jumped down to find another chest of golds while Crystal go through the door at the top," says Darkwing.
"Me too," says Amy.
"And me," says Tails.
Darkwing looks at Sonic. "Let me guess, you found a chest of golds too," Darkwing says to Sonic. Sonic shakes his head and shows us a diamond. "A charmstone?! You found a charmstone! That's a lucky find, those things are expensive."
Wow! Ever since I found out the price for the charmstone, I really wanted to get one. I am thinking that we should collect lots of money so that we can buy one. "Yeah, we got one! What does it do?" I ask.
"I have no idea. It must do something really important if it costs that much," says Darkwing.
We put our things away and go back to the two statues at the top of the pyramid. We make our way back to the dragon village and go through the doors back to Castle Purapril. We go down the town and go through the doors that take us to the village of Lilypad. We go back inside the yellow building and climb down the ladder to the room where the big rock falls down the hills. We go through the small hole into another room with a small door. We go through the small door into a very small room with a chest. We open the chest to get a heart that makes Shion stronger. We make our way out of the yellow building and back to the dragon village using the shortcut. We go back to the building outside the volcano and get turn back to normal. We go back to Castle Purapril and go out through the front door of the castle. We go to the place with the water and trees and swim down underwater. We look around for any secret doors.
"How do we know if there is any hidden door?" Darkwing asks.
I point at the bottom. "There a chest behind there. The only way to get there is through a hidden door," I say to Darkwing.
We look around and finally find a hidden door in one of the dead end. This takes us to the chest behind the wooden boards. We open the chest to get little hearts and a big bag of golds. After that we go back to Castle Purapril.
"Hey, let's get a better medicine. We're going for the final battle so we should get a medicine that will fully heal us," says Darkwing.
We look around the towns and find the best medicine in the dragon village. It's called Hi-Potion and it's a bottle with a 'S' on it. We buy it and go back to Castle Purapril. We go up the stairs and make our way to the bell tower. The princess is waiting by the bell tower.
"You're really going to go, aren't you…" she says to Shion. "Can't you stay with me?" She shakes her head. "No, you're the legendary hero. You must go. Be sure to come back safely. I'll be waiting right here for you."
Amy smiles and goes to the princess. She holds the princess' hands and says, "Don't worry, we'll make sure he'll come back to you."
The princess smiles at Amy. "All of you, please come back safely," the princess says to us.
We all go under the bell tower. The top of the bell tower is the same as the sword that Shion is using. Shion points the sword up and we all teleport to a dark place in the clouds. There is electricity blocking the path to the left. We follow the path to the right and jump across the clouds. Tails finds a heart in the chest on the cloud. He gives it to Shion which makes Shion stronger. Lightnings flashes in the clouds. Tails hugs closely to us.
"I don't like lightnings," says Tails.
"I don't like it too. I think lightning hit one of my teeth out. My teeth was shaking when the lightning came," I says to Tails.
"That's scary," says Tails.
"Nobody is going to get stuck by lightning when I'm around," says Darkwing. "Come on, let's carry on."
We follow the path to the right up and up toward the castle. Monsters in armours attack us by jumping at us. We beat the monsters and go inside the castle. We walk toward the end of the room, jumping over the hole at the bottom. We keep doing this.
"Is it me or do I have a feeling of Déjà vu here?" says Darkwing.
Crystal looks around. "You are right. This room looks the same. I think we are going around in circle."
"Oh great, it's one of those confusing mazes that loops you back in the room if you pick the wrong exit," says Darkwing. He is unhappy about this.
We decide to jump down the hole which takes us to the next room. We beat the big bats in this room and walk across toward the chain. We climb up the chain to the next room. We beat the big bat and climb up another chain into the next room. We carry on in the same direction which takes us back to the room with the big bat. We climb back up again and take the other path where we fight with monsters with sharp teeth. We beat the monsters and make our way across the room. We climb up the chain into the next room. We go in the same direction which takes us back one room. We go through that room again and climb up the chain. We go the other direction and follow that path while beating the monsters. We jump down the hole which takes us back to the room with the monsters. We go through it again and climb up the chain again. We follow the path but this time we jump over the hole at the bottom. We carry on and climb up the chain. We climb all the way up to the metal platforms and a flat platform car. We jump onto the car and ride it across. Darkwing quickly pulls me down. We slide under the spike ceilings. The car hits the wall which bounces the car in the other direction. We get attack by ghost monsters that are flying around. I can see a chest in front of us. We ride over the spring which causes the car to jump onto the metal platform above the chest. The car hits the wall and we go in the other direction. We keep going until the car drops down and hit another wall which bounces us in the other direction. I look back and see a small platform above and a chain that leads up. We ride the car to the end where we all fall down into the room with the monsters.
"Oh no, we're back in this room," says Darkwing.
We make our way back to the room with the car. We ride the car again but this time we ride it until we get to the part with the small platform and the chain. We jump off the car and make it onto the small platform.
"Oh, what about that chest," I say.
"I'll go and get it," says Tails. He flies off. Tails comes back and gives Shion a boots. "I found this in the chest."
Shion puts it on. We climb up the chain into the next room. We hold onto the little round machine with a rope. The little round machine moves us over the spiked floor. We jump down onto the safe floor and go onto the next little round machine with a rope. We move over the hole at the bottom.
Darkwing looks down the hole. "Hey Tails. Can you fly down there and get that chest for us?"
Tails looks down the hole and sees the chest. He flies down and opens the chest. He flies back up to us and gives Shion the armour he found in the chest. We jump down onto the floor and open the chest to get a heart that makes us feel better. It's a good thing because those monsters were hard to beat and we took damage from them. We jump back onto the rope and move over the small wall. We go through the door which takes us into the room with the exit.
"This is not the room!" says Darkwing. We go back through the door we just came out. We come out of the door which disappears. We are above the door near the chain. "How did we got here?!"
"Through that door," I say.
"I didn't mean that, I meant…never mind."
We climb up the chain and follow the path into the next room full of water monsters that throw things at us. We block their attacks using Shion's shield and Darkwing's cape. We beat the monsters and go onto the little round rope machine to the left. It takes us up where there're two water monsters and a chest. The water monsters hit us with their attacks. We fall down onto the floor at the bottom.
"Why am I at the bottom again?" says Darkwing in a weird voice. I look down to see that I am on top of my friends, again. We all get back up. Darkwing coughs to get his voice back to normal. "Okay, they're asking for it." He puts his hand into his cape but couldn't find anything. "I forgot, I don't any of my gadgets on me." He looks at Tails. "Fly me up there and I'll show those monsters a beating they'll never forget." Tails carries Darkwing up to the water monsters. I hear Darkwing beating the water monsters. Tails and Darkwing come back down. "And that's why you never mess with the masked mallard," says Darkwing. He gives Shion a shield with the same picture as the sword and the bell tower. We go to the other little round rope machine.
"Wait, we should check if there're any monsters up there," says Tails. Tails carries Sonic and flies up. I hear them beating the monsters. "It's all clear now," Tails shouts to us.
We go onto the little round rope machine which takes us up. We go into the door to a very small room. We go through the next door into a room with a water monster. We beat the monster and climb up the chain. Two big bone monsters in blue clothes with sword and shield attack us. They can block our attacks with their shields. We jump attack them in their faces. It takes a lot of hits but we beat them. We collect the big bags of golds and climb up the chain. In the next room, we face with a purple dragon. He is not as big as the big dragon in the volcano but he is bigger than us. He has a weird face and he keeps running at us. Shion changes his weapon into the trident and keeps spinning it around. The dragon keeps running into the trident and hurting himself. While the dragon runs into Shion's trident, Sonic jump attacks on the dragon's head. Sonic quickly jumps back behind Shion to avoid the dragon's attacks. It takes a while but we beat the dragon.
We go through the door that appears in front of us. As soon as we come out of the door, we fall down onto a small floating platform. The small floating platform slowly falls down. We jump onto the next floating platform but I fall down as I couldn't reach it. I fall down back to the room with the purple dragon. The purple dragon comes back to fight me. He runs right at me. I run as fast as I can. Shion jumps down and saves me from the purple dragon. Sonic, Amy, Tails, Darkwing and Crystal jump down to help beat the dragon. We go through the door again. Tails carries me while the others use the floating platforms to move up. The floating platforms move whenever they jump on them and they move in a certain way. When they reach the top, they have to stand on the floating platform in order to go down to the platform at the bottom. They jump onto the platform and beat the little bad guy. As soon as they beat him, the platform disappears and they fall onto two more floating platform. I watch as they jump along the moving platforms. They fall back down when they miss jump one of the floating platforms. Tails carries me back down where we see them fight the purple dragon again.
"Is this dragon going to attack us every time we fall down here?!" Darkwing shouts.
"How annoying," says Crystal.
"We can't keep fighting this dragon. We need to keep our strength up when we fight the main bad guy," says Amy.
They beat the dragon again which causes the door to show up and the dragon to drop another bag full of golds. "That's why we're making sure that we don't fall down again," says Darkwing.
Tails flies me back up to the big boss door and we wait for the others to get here. "I want to help them but I can't leave you alone," Tails says to me. "I don't want you to accidentally fall down. They'll be okay. They'll get here."
Tails is right, they make it using the small floating platforms and the round rope machine. "Before we go and face the final boss, we need to check to make sure we got everything," says Darkwing. "Best weapon equipped…checked, best shield equipped…checked. best armour equipped…checked, still got the healing potion….checked." Sonic folds his arms and gives Darkwing a look that says 'I'm waiting'. "Don't be impatient, it's best to be prepared," Darkwing says to Sonic. "Okay, everything's all checked, let's go and beat that final boss."
We go through the boss door where we face with a big monster with an animal head wearing blue armour with spikes. He walks toward us and attacks by throwing dangerous blue balls that bounce across the floor. Amy grabs me and takes us to a safe place while the others fight him. Shion uses his sword and blocks the attack with his shield, Sonic and Tails jump attack him, and Darkwing hits him with punches.
"Ouch!" Darkwing shouts and jumps away from the monster. Both of his hands have gone red.
"Our attacks are doing nothing to him," says Tails.
"That armour of his must be protecting him," says Crystal.
Sonic jump attacks the monster's head which hurts the monster. "The head is not protected, go for the head," says Amy. She notices that Sonic's attack hurts the monster.
Everybody attack the monster's head. Shion jumps up in order to hit the monster's head. He also is using the power magic to make his attacks powerful. When we beat the monster, his animal head falls off his body. Amy and Crystal are surprised and shocked at what they see.
"Ewwwwwwww!" say Darkwing and Tails when they see the head on the floor.
Another head comes out of the body. This head looks like a bug head. The animal head grows long ears and flies around in the air. He attacks by dropping fire onto us. The monster attacks the same as before. Shion, Sonic, Tails, Darkwing and Crystal are getting hit by both the monster and the flying head. Tails attacks the flying head while the others attack the monster. When they beat the monster, the bug head falls off the body and another head comes out of the body.
"How many heads does this monster have?!" Darkwing shouts.
The bug head grows legs and walks quickly around the room. I scream when he comes close to me. Sonic quickly jump attacks the bug head away from me.
"Thanks Sonic," says Amy. She turns to me. "It's okay Julie. Sonic won't let anything hurt us."
"Hey, what about me?!" shouts Darkwing.
"And Darkwing too," says Amy.
Shion uses all his power magic. He just keeps hitting the monster with his sword. Sonic helps him attack the monster. Darkwing and Crystal fight off the bug head while Tails fights the flying animal head. Whenever the heads get knock out, they get back up after a while. The only way to beat them is to beat the monster. After the hard battle we beat the monster. The heads disappear and the monster turns into a green haired man.
"I am the prince of DarkWorld, and you must be the legendary hero," the green haired man says to Shion. "I was under the control of Biomeka, a deadly creature from outer space, but I'm alright now. Thank you for coming to my aid." He teleports out.
"Guess that wasn't the final boss," says Darkwing. We go through the door which takes us to the bell tower near the floating castle. "Let's go back to the shop. We need to get another healing potion."
Darkwing is right, we need to get another one because we used the potion up. That battle was very hard that we took lots of hits and had to use the potion to heal us up. We teleport back to Purapril Castle using the bell tower and go back to the dragon village to get another healing potion. We go back to Purapril Castle and stay at the inn. After that, we go back to the bell tower and go back to the clouds. The other way which was blocked by electricity is no longer block. We go that way and into the lift which takes us up. It is a long way up and when we reach the top, we go into the room with a machine in the middle. We follow Shion inside the machine. A blue window closes us inside the machine. It feels like the machine is moving.
"You're sure this is a good idea?" says Darkwing.
The blue window comes off and we jump out. It doesn't look like we gone anywhere as this room looks the same as before. We go into the next room. This is different. Everywhere is machine. We climb up the ladder where we beat robot octopus bad guys that shoot from their mouth. We block their attacks using Shion's shield. We have to be quick to get to the other side as the robot octopus bad guys reappear behind us.
Darkwing helps me to dodge their attacks. "Hey, watch it!" Darkwing shouts at the bad guys. "There are some things that my cape can't block and lasers are one of them."
We quickly go through the door at the end. Inside the room is the first boss monster we faced; the mushroom monster.
"Oh no, he's back!" says Tails.
"Back for a rematch, eh?" says Darkwing. We all get ready to fight. Shion walks toward the mushroom monster and hits him with his sword. It only takes one hit from the sword to beat the mushroom monster. "You're got to be kidding me! I know he was the first boss but come on, he could at less put up a fight. I mean how long has he been here? He could have gotten stronger while we were doing all that adventuring," says Darkwing.
"It just proved how strong the legendary sword is," says Amy.
Wow, that sword is very strong to beat that mushroom monster in one hit. It took us a while to beat him when we first fought him. We collect the bags of golds and go out the room. We go back to the ladder while beating the robot octopus bad guys. We go down and climb down the ladder near the beginning. We beat more robot octopus bad guys and go through the door at the end. In this room we face with the two rock monsters.
"Are we facing all the previous bosses we beaten?" says Darkwing. Darkwing uses his cape to block the rock monsters' attacks. Shion runs to one of the rock monsters and beat him with two hits of his sword. "Seriously, were these bosses too lazy to get stronger?" says Darkwing, sounding really surprised.
Shion dodges the big rock with the help of Tails. Tails carries him to the other rock monster and they beat the monster really fast. We collect bags of golds and go back through the door. We go back to the ladder, beating more of the robot octopus bad guys, and climb back up. We walk across the room and go up the ladder. We couldn't go up as the path is blocked by the machine ceiling. We go back down and carry on across the room. We climb up the ladder at the end of the room. We go to the other side, beating more robot octopus bad guys. Inside the room we face with the snowman monster. We beat him the same way as before. We go back to the ladder and go back down. We climb down the next ladder and go to the other side while beating the bad guys.
"Let me guess, that big purple dragon from the volcano," says Darkwing as he points at the door. We go through the door where we face the big purple dragon. "Thought so, at less we're not tiny."
Shion has no problem beating the dragon. It only takes a few hits of the sword. We collect the bags of golds and make our way back. We climb up the middle ladder. The path is now clear and we can go all the way up.
"I hope this monster doesn't have three heads," says Darkwing.
We go through the door at the top where we find a big machine with a gun. The big machine keeps shooting us with his gun. We try to hit him but our attacks don't do anything to him. He keeps hitting us with his attacks. We need to get out. There is no way back out. The big machine keeps hitting us. We are very hurt from his attack.
The prince teleports in front of us and says to Shion, "Some hero. Is that the best you can do? Well, watch this!" The prince runs straight at the big machine's gun, destroying it. He falls onto the ground in front of us.
"Ouch, that looks like it hurts," says Darkwing.
I run over to the prince to see if he's okay. "Not too bad, eh? Now, let's see if you've got what it takes," says the prince before he disappears. I think he teleported back to his home.
"Oh right then, you guys ready to show this guy who's boss? Then let's get dangerous!" says Darkwing.
We are back to fighting the big machine. A gun that shoots lasers comes out and moves along the track above us. We have to avoid it and attack the big machine. Shion blocks the lasers with his shield. We quickly beat the gun but after a while another gun comes out to attack us. We avoid the gun and attack the big machine. We have to attack the top of the big machine. We keep hitting it until the top of the machine disappears. The floor starts to move and a pointed round thing run along the floor.
Amy grabs me and we both run away from the dangerous pointed round thing. "Sonic, help!" Amy shouts.
We keep on running as fast as we could. Tails quickly flies to us and grabs my and Amy's hand. He flies us up to safety. That big machine is actually a round one eye monster with bumps on his head. Another gun comes out to attack us. Now there are two guns that are attacking us. Shion, Sonic, Darkwing and Crystal are trying their best to avoid all the attacks.
"Oh no, we have to beat him," I say.
"That's right Julie. We can't just stay here and do nothing. Tails, let's help them by beating those laser guns," says Amy.
Tails carefully flies us to the laser guns. We attack the guns by kicking them and we keep kicking them until we beat them. Shion, Sonic, Darkwing and Crystal dodge the pointed round thing and attack the monster's eye. Shion uses his power magic to try to beat the one eye monster quickly. We have to use the potion as we are taking a lot of hits. We keep attacking until we beat the one eye monster. The one eye monster closes his eye and we all teleport out. We find ourselves in the bell tower in Purapril Castle.
"I'm so happy you all make it back safely," says the princess. She looks at Shion. "Welcome home, Shion, I don't think I'll ever forget you…ever."
"We'll be going, Shion. Come on everybody, let's find our way home," Amy says to us. We all say goodbye to Shion and the princess, and left Purapril Castle.
"How do we get home?" asks Darkwing. A portal shows up in front of us. "That answers my question." We get pull into the portal and send back to our homes.
And the game we were in was Wonder Boy in Monster World for the Megadrive. I think that was the first RPG that I played and finished. I still remember how I got stuck on the sphinx boss because I had problem reading at the time. I always thought that my sister is good with reading and that she can help me do the boss. Also, I kept getting the question with the price of the Charmstone, which I got wrong the first time. I was able to answer it correctly by counting the zeros and remembering it the next time he ask that question. Oh and don't mind how I described things in this story, I was only around seven years old at the time.
