Dracula's Castle - Foyer
The heroes are teleported to the castle entrance, it's a huge location with a red carpet and dreary looking atmosphere, there Slogra and Gaibon lead the heroes inside.
"Alright everyone, just follow our lead and we'll reach Lord Death in no time." Said Slogra.
"Simon, you've been here before right ?" Asked Pit.
"I have, however the layout of the castle is always different, because of that I'm unable to head straight to Dracula's throne room, even though I've been here twice." Explained Simon.
"It's one of the castle defenses, otherwise it would be easy for them to head straight to Lord Dracula." Added Gaibon.
"Well whatever, we should get going, this place give me the creeps." Complained Kazooie.
"Lord Death is likely held captive at the clock tower, we should go there." The heroes followed Slogra and Gaibon's lead. "We need to take the stairs to get there."
The heroes walked toward the stairs, there are two Gargoyle statues on the left and right side of the stairs, the statues faced toward each other.
As the heroes pass the statue and climb the stairs an alarm like sound is ringing.
"What the ! What is that noise !?" Exclaimed Simon.
Dark Pit turned towards the two demons and begin accusing them. "I knew it this is a trap isn't it !"
But Slogra and Gaibon defended themselves. "What ! No ! We didn't know about this either !"
Banjo running around in panic with Kazooie's feather scattered all over the place, one of the feathers touched Banjo's nose and he sneezes at the statue, as Banjo sneezes the gargoyle eyes emiting red laser from their eyes.
"Hey isn't that infrared sensors !?" Exclaimed Kazooie.
"Was that always there !?" Simon turned to the two demons.
"No, we never...Gruntilda ! She must've been the one to install that red light thing !" Exclaimed Slogra.
As the alarm stopped ringing, magic circles appeared under the heroes feet and begin teleporting all of them to random locations within the castle.
Nowhere Island - Tazmily Village
After Lucas pulled the seventh needle the Dark Dragon awakened from it's slumber, triggering the apocalypse that spell the end of the world. However because of Lucas good heart the disaster didn't last long and using it's power the Dark Dragon uses it to recreate the world, many landmass emerged from the seas, Nowhere Islands is no longer the only landmass in the entire world, however life still remain to exist only on Nowhere Island, the people would have to leave and repopulate the world if they want humanity to flourish.
Tazmily Village was destroyed during the Dark Dragon awakening, bit it's awakening also washed away the evil in people's hearts, the residents of Tazmily Village who were corrupted by hedonism and materialism thanks to Porky Minch regretted their actions and returned back to the ruins of the village, and once again worked together to rebuild their home.
After the light appeared Lucas got teleported to Sonic's World where he encounter Dr. Eggman, so he came home because he knew his father would be worried, and he's right as the village seems to be in panic mode again.
"The village seems to be in an uproar, I hope something bad isn't happening again." Lucas and the others rushed into the village.
As they arrive a kid with a cowboy head saw Lucas and approached the PSI kid. "Lucas !? Is that you !?"
Lucas answered the boy. "Yes Fuel it's me, what's going on ? Why the village is in unrest ?"
Hearing this Fuel lashed at Lucas. "Why !? You were missing ! When that strange light faded Mr. Flint running outside and scream 'have anyone seen Lucas !?' where were you all this time !? Everyone have been searching for you since !"
Lucas not realizing his absence were the cause of this apologize to Fuel, but before that he stopped Lucas. "Stop right there, you can apologize to everyone at the village." Fuel turned around and shouted to the villagers. "Everyone Lucas is back !"
The villagers turned to Fuel's attention and approached Lucas, expressing their concern over the PSI boy.
"Everyone I'm sorry I worried you, that light send me away to another location, but I'm back now, where's my dad ?" Asked Lucas.
A man wearing a blue shirt and red pants answered Lucas. "Flint and Lighter is still searching for you, unfortunately nobody know where they went today, they usually back at the end of the day though."
"I see, thanks Duster, hopefully they're back soon." Said Lucas.
Duster then look at the 'people' behind Lucas and..."excuse me Lucas, but who or what are they behind you ?" Duster pointed at Diddy, Toon Link, and Bowser Jr.
"Oh right, everyone these are my friends Diddy Kong, Link, and Bowser Jr." Lucas introduced his smash friends to the villagers. "They have been a great help for me during my absence from the village."
"Oh, I see they help you get back here, well a friend of Lucas is a friend of ours, please make yourselves at home, if there's anything you need please don't be shy to talk to us." And with that the villagers dispered and continue with their daily routine now that Lucas is back they can stop with the searching.
"Why don't we wait for my dad at my house." Said Lucas as the other three agreed. Lucas then led the three of them to his house which is located at the south of the village, at a cliff facing the ocean.
Lucas's House
After Jr. Get off from his clown car and parked it outside the heroes entered Lucas house and as they went inside a brown furred dog charged towards Lucas and licked him in joy as Lucas fell down.
"Ahahaha...cut it out Boney it tickles, everyone this so Boney my pet dog." Lucas introduced his dog to his friends.
Boney seems to like Diddy, Toon Link, and not even hostile to Jr. as it being playful with the three of them.
"You know what a nice house you have here Lucas." Complimented Toon Link.
"Yeah, I can tell it has that warm atmosphere, and located in an island and near the ocean too, I approved, at least you don't have giant octopus trying to attack you for no reason." Stated Diddy.
"Giant octopus ?" Asked Lucas.
"Yeah we have this giant octopus Squiddicus, everytime we encounter it during our adventures it tried to attack us for no reason, it's not an ally to any of our enemies so maybe it's being overly territorial ?" Diddy stroking his chin.
"I hear you, I have something like that during my travels too, a Big Octo, they're very hostile and many ships have been destroyed during an encounter with that thing." Toon Link also sharing his experience.
Lucas then saw Jr. looking around the house. "Something the matter Jr ?"
"Yeah no offense Lucas, but did you and your entire family share a room ?" Jr. Pointed at the lined bed in the bedroom which door is opened.
"Yes, why ?" Questioned Lucas.
"I always have my own room in the castle, so it's a surprise to me, also the environment isn't what I used to." Commented Jr.
"Yeah cause for you nothing says home sweet home like a castle surrounded by lava." Snarked Diddy.
"Well I don't expect commoners and non Koopa like you to know understand our uinque taste." Retorted Jr. "To me that lava castle is home."
"Alright enough arguing you two, none of us choose our birthplace." Toon Link mediate between Diddy and Jr.
"Sorry Jr. I just find it hard to imagine anyone can live comfortably in a volcano." Diddy apologized to Jr.
"So am I, I did acted like I flaunted my status there." Jr also apologized.
Toon Link then looked an unusual object at the bedroom desk, there's an egg shaped object on that desk. "Hey Lucas that's a nice egg ornament you got there."
"That's not just a mere decoration, it's Egg of Light, it contains the memories of the previous world." Explained Lucas.
"Previous world ?" Asked Toon Link.
"Well I don't know if it got anything to do with our current adventure, but I thought you should know so you don't repeat the mistakes of my world peoples." Lucas then begin explaining about the purpose of the Egg of Light, and how the world was once destroyed and the residents of Tazmily Village stored their memories inside the Egg of Light to forget the past, which ended up a fatal mistake as forgetting their past mistakes actually made them susceptible to Porky Minch manipulations.
The trio have their mouths open after hearing such shocking tale.
"So this world was destroyed before you awaken the Dark Dragon ?" Questioned Diddy.
"And the people just brainwashed themselves to forget everything about their past mistakes and storing their memories inside that egg ?" Continued Toon Link.
"Which ended up backfiring because by not remembering the past they repeat the mistakes of the past." Added Jr.
"Sadly yes, but thanks to awakening the Dark Dragon evil has been washed away from people's hearts, although what I don't get is if evil is gone then how did the Pigmask Army survived ?" Lucas begin to ponder.
"Maybe it only works against the evil just in this world ? Either the Pigmask Army is defeated but resurrected or our enemies rescued them by taking them to different world, thus escaping the Dark Dragon power." Deduced Toon Link.
"Either one could be the answer, but I guess we only know if we confront them directly." Stated Lucas. "Anyway I'm going to make some tea." Lucas went to the kitchen to serve his guests.
After that an hour have passed and still no signs of Flint.
"Your dad sure takes his time." Commented Jr.
"Yeah, I'm getting worried, I know it's still afternoon but still." Lucas is getting worried.
"Lucas you have psychic powers right ? Why don't you use telepathy to find him ?" Asked Diddy. "After all, all you need to do is imagine your target right ? You don't need to know where they are ?"
"Oh yeah why didn't I think of that ! Silly me."
"Honestly Lucas, forgetting your own powers, you really need to use your powers more often." Snarked Jr.
And with that Lucas used his telepathy to contact his dad wherever he is.
Shortly before Lucas contacted his dad...
"Flint we've been travelling here and there everyday now,you sure you won take a break ?" Asked Lighter.
Flint turned toward his friend. "I already lost Hinawa and Claus, I can't afford to lose Lucas as well, when that weird light appeared Lucas is...gone, I refuse to stand by and do nothing, if there's a chance he's still alive I will look everywhere to find him."
"Alright, he's the only family you have left, but you also need to take care of yourself, how would Lucas react if you died to save him, he'll be an orphan." Hearing his friend argument Flint agreed to take a break, right now they're outside of Thunder Tower, the tower build by Pigmask Army to punish those that dare defy them by shooting lightning at their targets, after the Dark Dragon awakening the tower completely collapsed and reduced to mere ruins.
As the two men resting and sitting on the floor Flint senses Lucas thoughts entering his mind. ("Dad, where are you ? It's me Lucas.")
A shocked Flint quickly stand up, surprising Lighter as he fell down, startled by Flint sudden reaction. "Lucas ! Lucas ! Is that really you !? Where were you !?"
("It's a long story, but I'm back home.") Replied Lucas.
("Okay ! Okay ! I'll be back soon, please don't go anywhere !") But then before Flint ended the conversation he saw what's it like a boy with orange hair at the forest, Flint wiping his eyes to see the boy is gone.
"Hey Flint are you okay ? Your facial expression changed so suddenly ?" Asked Lighter. "And what are you looking at ?" Asked Lighter.
"Well it's just, Lucas contacted me with his power, he said he's back home, and I thought I saw Claus over there." Flint pointed at Murasaki Forest.
"Flint get over it, Claus is gone, you have to cherished what you have left, Lucas is waiting for you, let's go back." Seeing Lighter has a point Flint and Lighter soon got up and traveled back to Tazmily Village.
Outside Lucas House
While waiting for Flint to come back, the boys are outside with Toon Link talking about this Wind Waker baton. "And so with Ballad of Gale I can harness the power of wind to teleport us to important locations, it's made my travel faster and easier, I also have the Song of Passing, but the citizens could be panicking why day and night changed so fast."
"Hey can I try ? I'm sure it's great for pranks." Jr. Wanted to have his hands on the Wind Waker baton.
"No, you're just gonna screw up this world rotation cycle, changing day and night should be for emergencies only." Toon Link is holding of Jr. From touching his baton to his disappointment.
Diddy is seen talking to Lucas who seemed to feeling down. "You okay Lucas, when you're talking to your dad you seemed shocked earlier, did something happened ? You said your dad is fine afterwards."
"I guess I should tell you this then, there's something I need to tell all of you." Hearing this Toon Link and Jr. Stopped with the arguing and walked toward Lucas. "As you know I have a brother who died, and I was summoned to the World of Trophy in the middle of my adventure."
"Yes you did, and next ?" Asked Diddy.
Lucas explains that his brother Claus is brainwashed into becoming the leader of Pigmask Army and how he and Lucas clashed several times until they reached the underground of New Pork City where Lucas have his final clash with his brother, Claus ended up committing suicide, as Lucas still live he's the only one capable of pulling the last needle and restore the world.
"Before the communication is cut off I heard my dad said Claus's name." Explained Lucas. "Do you think..."
"If he's with Neo Subspace Army then the possibility is very high, he could be enlisted as a member of Warriors of Fallen Stars." Added Diddy.
"But that would mean Lucas may have to fight his brother again." Added Toon Link.
"True, but our goal is also to release them from the enemy control, which means we're going to resurrect Lucas's brother as well, we can save him too." Added Jr.
"You're right, I can't look at this as a tragedy, this is an opportunity, I can reunite with my brother again !" Lucas perked up.
Time has passed and night has come, the boys went inside the house, as Lucas anxiously awaiting his dad return, suddenly the door opened and a man dressed in cowboy attire is seen at the entrance. Lucas rushed in and hugged his dad. "Dad you're back !"
"Lucas I'm so glad you're alright, when that light dissipated you were missing and I fear the worst." Flint kneel down and hugged his son back. "How did you find your way back here ?"
"Oh, well it's a long story." Lucas tried deflecting the question.
Flint then raised his head and see Diddy, Toon Link, and Jr. inside. "Lucas who or what are they ?"
"Umm..dad this is my friends Diddy Kong, Link, and Bowser Jr." Lucas introduced his friends to his dad.
"Nice to meet you sir." Diddy greeted the middle aged man, but Flint is shocked beyond belief to see a talking animal.
"Whoa did you just talk !?" Flint loses his balance and fell down to the floor.
"Sorry about that, there aren't any talking animals around here." Said Lucas as he helped his dad get up. " I don't think dad ever met one before unlike me."
"I'm sorry about that, it's nice to meet all of you." Flint then whispered to Lucas. "Your friends look unusual, that monkey like kid isn't a chimera is it ?"
"It's a long story, but I assure you they've been a great help to me." Lucas whispered back.
"Okay, you did have a monkey helping you on your quest earlier, so I shouldn't be surprised about it, but the turtle one..."
"Okay dad I think you should take a shower first, you're awfully sweaty." Lucas holding his nose to get Flint to leave the room.
"Alright I'll go take a bath, it's getting late if you kids houses are far from here, you can stay in our house for the night, I know my house is not much but please make yourself at home." Flint then grab a towel and entered the bathroom.
"Your dad seems...nice, was he a bit suspicious to us ?" Asked Diddy.
"Sorry about that, but he means well, we just don't have talking animals living in the village." Apologized Lucas. "And Jr. I know my house isn't a castle but..."
"It's alright, if I'm going to be the next king of Koopa Kingdom I can't keep acting like spoiled brat, I chased the Koopalings away with my attitude before, and I better not repeating that mistake again." Replied Jr.
"So Lucas, what are you going to do ? Are you gonna tell your dad you're setting off to a new adventure ? He doesn't seem going to say yes should you tell him what your actually doing." Asked Toon Link. "Especially since he just travel far and wide to look for you."
"I know and that's what worries me, if he refuse to let me go then I can't help you guys on our mission." Said Lucas.
"You still have to try regardless, we'll be here for moral support." Replied Toon Link as Flint come out from the bathroom and headed to the bedroom and changed his clothes.
Flint then leave the bedroom now wearing a white sleeveless shirt and blue short pants.
"Hey dad there's something I have to say to you." Lucas spoke hesitantly.
"What is it son ?" Asked Flint.
Lucas then explain to Flint what happened during his absence, about the new adventure he's currently on, and how it's going to affect the entire universe, he also reveal that Diddy, Toon Link, and Bowser Jr. came from different worlds themselves.
Flint is at a loss for words hearing Lucas's story, but then he made up his mind. "Lucas I'm sorry, but I can't let you go, this from what you told me this is nothing like your previous adventure, you actually in another world, how am I suppose to know how you're doing !?"
"We're here for him, all of us protect each other." Diddy stepped in to backed Lucas.
"The answer still no, I spent three years looking for Claus and I neglected the son I still have, I refuse to make that mistake again."
"But dad..."
"No buts Lucas, my decision is final, tomorrow morning your friends are just gonna have to go on without you, it's getting late, you're all welcome to sleep here if you'd like at least." Flint remain stubborn as he entered the bedroom.
"Welp that's to be expected." Commented Diddy.
"So what now Lucas ? I'd prefer if you come with us, but your dad did search everywhere for you." Added Toon Link.
"Why didn't he just come with us then ? That would solve the problem right ?" Asked Jr.
"That would mean he have to leave his home for a very long time, and not everyone can adjust to that, by the way with Bowser gone your kingdom won't fall to a civil war is it ?" Asked Toon Link.
"Nope, they all genuinely loyal to my dad, everytime dad is missing no one is trying to grab power because they know my dad will be back eventually." Explained Jr. "Of course right now I have a feeling our allies have fallen to Fawful's brainwashing."
"I have to say I'm impressed, for an evil overlord Bowser sure is able to win true loyalty from many people." Added Diddy.
"Well we're getting off track here, so then Lucas I guess we'll be back without you then." Stated Toon Link.
"Yeah, sorry I have my doubts, but it seems I have to stay, I'm the only one my dad has left after all." Answered Lucas.
"Or you could run away with us, or force him to come with us." Jr trying to be a bad influence.
"Jr. Don't bring Lucas to a path of delinquency, the last thing we need is family drama interfering with our missions." Diddy chastising Jr.
"Hey I just giving suggestions, though that said, guess we won't be having a sleepover here after seeing the atmosphere ?" Asked Jr.
"Oh man, we should've had sleepover back at the ship earlier, there's Ness, Popo, Nana, Young Link, Tooty, and Kana." Realized Toon Link. "I didn't think any of us would be leaving early."
"It's okay, I guess I just have to missed out on it." Said a dejected Lucas.
"Well, we will come and visit from time to time okay, so it's not goodbye." Assured Diddy.
"Thanks Diddy, glad I met all of you, I guess I'm heading in now, oh where are you guys going to sleep ? I believe I have a sleeping bag or a mattress somewhere." Lucas is looking for a mattress.
"There's no need for that Lucas, we all just sleep on the sofa, it's quite long and I know we all fits." Said Toon Link.
And with that Lucas went to his room which he shared with Flint, while the trio sleep on the sofa.
"I always wanted to try to sleep on the sofa, I wonder how it's like ?" Jr. Is feeling curious.
"You're about to experience it." Said Diddy as the three of them slept on the sofa.
And so midnight came...
Jr who is unused to not sleeping on the bed struggling and moving around, the Koopa prince fell to the floor. "Owww...I can't sleep, how did commoners able to sleep like this." Jr rubbing his head, and then he saw what's it like a figure entering the bedroom as he saw someone opened the door, Jr seeing this decided to wake up Diddy and Toon Link.
"Link wake up." Jr is shaking Toon Link's body as the Hero of Wind talking in his sleep.
"Of course we can get married immediately Tetra, why wait for 10 more years or so." Toon Link then fell to the floor thanks to Jr. "Oww.. Jr ? Did you push me down ?"
"No time I have to wake Diddy." Jr then shakes Diddy until the monkey woke up.
"Jr. Why did you wake me up !? There's still a mountain of bananas I haven't eaten yet." Diddy complained as Jr. Interrupted his dream.
"I saw someone entered Lucas's bedroom." Whispered Jr.
"So ? That could be Lucas or his dad." Retorted Diddy.
"Or an intruder." Jr shot back. "There could be thieves lurking around, I know because there's burglary attempts at the castle sometimes, we always foiled them thanks to our security, but still some thieves are persistent despite repeated failures.
"Jr. This isn't a castle, it's just a farmer's house located in the middle of nowhere, I'm sure there's nothing worth stealing in this house." Replied Toon Link before he realized something. "...hold on, why does that sounded like an insult ?"
As the half asleep trio argued albeit in low voice the bedroom door opened, and the trio turned their gaze at the opened door.
The figure then slowly closed the door with their right hand as the figure seems to hold something in their left hand. The figure then head to the front door only to be confronted by the trio.
Diddy went and turn on the light switch revealing the figure to be a boy who is identical to Lucas except with orange hair wearing blue and yellow striped shirt.
"See it's just Lucas." Said Toon Link as he still half asleep he can't tell the difference.
"Uuh yes, I am Lucas, that's me." The boy played along with Toon Link mistake.
"Where are you going at this late at night ?" Asked Toon Link.
"Oh you know to get some fresh air, I mean dad is snoring really loud it woke me up." Added the boy.
"I can relate, dad tend to snore really loud as well, so I'm glad I have my own room." Said Jr.
"Hey Lucas, what are you doing with that egg ?" Asked Diddy.
"Whoa a talking turtle and monkey !" The boy is so startled he fell down and dropped the egg.
"What are you surprised about ? it's just Bowser Jr. And Diddy Kong ?" Toon Link questioned 'Lucas', however as his eyes getting clearer he came to realize it's not Lucas at all. "Hey hold on you're not Lucas ! Your hair is orange, could you be..."
As Toon Link about to expose the boy the bedroom door opened again, a disgruntled Flint come out awaken by the noise outside. "Could you kids keep it down it's late at night !" Flint then see the boy as well. "Lucas what are you doing still awake ? Go back to bed !"
"But dad I'm right here." Lucas also awake and pulled on Flint's pants.
Flint confused looked at both boys back and forth. "Wait if you're here then who's...no it can't be ! It's not possible !"
"Claus !" Exclaimed Lucas, shocking Flint and his teammates.
"I knew it ! You and Lucas does look very much alike !" Exclaimed Toon Link.
"But that can't be ! You're dead ! Is this a dream !?" Flint is very confused by what he see.
"No dad, he's real, Claus tell me, you're a part of Warriors of Fallen Stars are you ? Answering that question won't give us any advantage anyway."
"You've grown Lucas, and yes I am a part of Warriors of Fallen Stars, then you know what that means, I'm at complete mercy of my masters, however I'm not the only ones sent here." Answered Claus as he got up and picked up the egg.
"What do you mean by that ? And what are you doing with the Egg of Light ?" Asked Lucas.
"If you wished to know, then come to Mt. Oriander where grandpa's house used to be, if 1 hour passed and you're still not there, well you'll have to see for yourself." Claus using his PSI power to teleport away, bringing the Egg of Light with him.
"Lucas, what just..." Flint is at a loss for words by what he just see.
"Dad, this is what I've been trying to tell you, once again the enemy got their hands on Claus, and this time I will save him." Said Lucas with a determined face.
Flint seeing the resolve in Lucas eyes relented. "Alright Lucas, but I'm coming with all of you to Mt. Oriander as well, by the way how are you going to save Claus ? He's already dead."
"We're going to resurrect him, I don't know how yet, but that's the only way to save him from the enemy control." Answered Lucas.
Flint grabbed Lucas shoulder. "Lucas is this true ? But bringing people back from the dead is..."
"There's no other option, Claus is technically a zombie, bound by the enemy magic power, he cannot disobey their orders, that's why...he must be forced to do things he doesn't want to do again, and I wanted to save him from that !"
"Lucas, you used to be the shy and quiet one, but I supposed I didn't realize you've grown so much, I've been a fool, in my obsession with finding Claus I neglect the one kid close to me, I'm sorry Lucas, I've been a terrible father to you." Flint kneel down and hugged his son, proud at what he become.
"Dad, I forgive you." Lucas hugged back, Diddy, Toon Link, and Jr. Watched with tears on their eyes.
"I don't think I've ever seen something so touching.." Commented Diddy.
"I remember when dad took me to Delfino Island for vacation and framing Mario, good times indeed." Added Jr.
Toon Link then wiped the tear in his face as he reminded everyone on what happened. "I know this is a touching moment, but we kinda let Claus get away with that egg, why do you think he wanted it ?"
"The Egg of Light has the power over memories, it also contained the memories of the island residents, my guess is the Neo Subspace Army have plans related to memories." Answered Lucas.
"Well we won't learn anything by doing nothing, let's go to where he tell us to go." Said Diddy.
"Yeah, fortunately I know where the place he mentioned, I can just teleport us there." Said Lucas.
"Wait ! Let me get my clown car, I'm actually expecting a fight." Jr. run towards the front tdoor as the others follow.
Lucas House - Outside
As Jr. Already sit on his clown car Lucas then used PSI Teleport, sending him, Diddy, Jr, Toon Link, and Flint to Mt. Oriander, leaving Boney as the dog still asleep.
Mt. Oriander - Summit
Lucas and co. Arrived at the summit of Mt. Oriander, there's a torn down house which used to belong to a man named Alec, Lucas grandpa, after the tragedy that befell Lucas family Alec was moved to the retirement home and his house is attacked by the Thunder Tower, there were plans to create an observatory here, but that plan never came to fruition as Lucas and his companions pretty much screwing the Pigmask Army time and time again, forcing them to divert their resources to defeating Lucas.
They saw Claus standing at the door.
"We're here Claus, and before 1 hour to boot." Exclaimed Lucas.
"Yes, I didn't expect for you to use Teleportation to get here, PSI power is very useful aren't they, and also there's someone else would like to see you." Another person came out from the ruined house, she is a beautiful woman with long brown hair and wearing a red dress, Flint and Lucas cannot believe their eyes.
"Hinawa !? Is that...really you ?" Flint is at a loss for words as the woman standing in front of them is none other than Hinawa, Flint's wife and Lucas mother, the ones killed by the Mecha Drago.
"Claus ! What's the meaning of this !? I get the enemy recruit you because of your past of the Masked Men, but why is mother is a part of this !? Was it to attack us psychologically !?" Yelled Lucas.
"Some of it yes, but there's another reason, turns out mother have the potential to use PSI power within her." This revelation bring shock to the father and son. "Of course PSI powers are very rare, not many people know they have such abilities, mother herself never seemed to know she has such power as well."
"Flint, Lucas, I'm so glad I'm able to see you again, but I wish this isn't how it supposed to be." Hinawa spoke in a sad tone.
Anothet voice then can be heard from inside the house. "Nwehehehehe Oh but for me this is the best scenario imaginable." The figure walked out from the house revealing Fassad. "Your mother was a wonderful student, I can see why her sons grew up to be powerful PSI wielder."
"You ! Fassad ! I haven't seen you after we defeated you at the sewers, I see you're still alive." Said Lucas angrily.
"Technically no, since no matter who succeeded in pulling all the needles my death is inevitable anyway, however I was given a second chance by the Neo Subspace Army, as one of the executives for the Warriors of Fallen Stars.
"You're dead ? When were you ? And what do you mean you're dead by whoever pulling the needles ?" And at that moment Lucas realized something. "Wait if the needles being pulled meant your death then are you ?"
"If what your thinking is what I'm thinking then yes you may know me as Fassad the supreme commander of Pigmask Army, but I'm also known as Locria the Magypsy." Fassad finally reveal his identity.
"So you're Locria the missing Magypsy, Leder told me there's a treacherous Magypsy named Locria, but to think it was you all along, I never asked this before since I never knew who you really are but what is your goal by betraying the Magypsies ? And corrupting the people of Tazmily Village ?"
"Why bother caring for these people ? They destroy themselves in the past, and they delude themselves by thinking maybe if they erase their memories they could start over and build a utopia, HAH ! just give them money and they revert back to their old ways, and their destruction is the only way for their misery and idiocy to end." Explained Fassad.
"You can't just blame them for that ! Especially it's you who are doing this to the people in the first place !" Yelled Toon Link.
"Hmph ! Outsiders should stay away from other world's problem, what you say don't matter to me !" Retorted Fassad. "And since my plan is ruined, Lucas I will have my revenge on you, Hinawa ! Kill that boy !"
Hinawa refuse to do Fassad command, but she knows she can't resist no matter how much she struggles, her body is moving against her will. "Run Lucas !" Hinawa shoot PSI Fire at the heroes.
However Lucas cast PSI Magnet which absorb the fire attack.
Diddy, Toon Link, and Jr. Ready for a fight. Diddy pull out his gun and begin shooting at Fassad, Fassad cast Defense Up to raised his defense, enabling him to resist Diddy's attack.
But he didn't count on Jr who rammed him using his clown car, sending him flying and crashing to the house.
"Claus ! Attack them !" Ordered Fassad, as Claus also can't resist his orders he pulls out his electric sword and charged to attack, however Toon Link confront him and cross baldes with him using the Phantom Sword.
"Dad please stay back ! I know you can't fight mom and Claus !" Exclaimed Lucas.
"No, I can't, but I can beat down that Fassad jerk." Said Flint seething in anger.
"Then do I know what to do for you." Jr approached Flint as he created a spiked club using the magic paintbrush. "Here, use this to beat him to a pulp."
"Uhh...thanks ?" Flint awkwardly grabbed the club and whispered to Lucas. "For a kid he's not what I call right in the head."
"His father is an evil overlord..." Answered Lucas which makes Flint pity the Koopa prince.
Claus and Toon Link kept on clashing swords with another, with neither one able to gain the upper hand. "Your good." Complimented Claus.
"You're not so bad yourself, my name is Link also known as the Hero of Wind, and as for why I was given such title..." Toon Link jumped backwards and pull out a Deku Leaf, he swing as hard as he can, causing Claus to be blown away by the strong wind.
"Claus !" Hinawa teleported and rescued her son, but this give a chance for Jr to magically bind them using the magic paintbrush.
As Fassad got up and ready for another fight, he saw Claus and Hinawa restrained with angry Flint ready to bash his head with a spiked club.
"Give it up Fassad ! You're outnumbered, and my friends from another worlds are very experienced fighters !" Lucas threatened Fassad to back down.
"Oh yeah ! Take this !" Fassad cast PSI Thunder to attack the heroes all at once, however Lucas seen this coming as he cast PSI Counter, minimizing the damage on the heroes and reflected the attack back to Fassad, as there are five people he attacked, the reflected attack bounced back at him five time fold.
"Aaaahhhh !" Fassad knelt down as he's harmed by his own attack, and an angry Flint pointed his spiked club at Fassad.
"Release my wife and son or suffer the consequences." Flint threatened the treacherous Magypsy in a calm, but angry tone.
"Heh, threatened me all you want, I'm not capable of reviving them or releasing them, you have to take your complaints to the people above me, but first, take this !" Fassad pull out the Egg of Light and erase Flint's memories with it, Flint blinded by the light it emits as he fell down and fall unconscious.
"Dad !" Lucas rushed in to help Flint, however Fassad is ready to erase his memories as well, but Diddy fired his peanut projectile and knocked the Egg of Light from Fassad's hand.
"Gah you accursed monkey !" Fassad throw a flea bomb at Diddy, the bomb rather than explode in unleashed fleas instead which makes Diddy scratching out of itchiness.
Fassad run to retrieve the egg, however he is shot by the cannonball from Jr clown car mouth with Toon Link swing the Deku Leaf to accelerate to cannonball speed further. Fassad got hot hard as he fell to the cliff behind him.
Jr. Grabbed the Egg of Light and the heroes high five each other.
However it's not over yet, because he's a Magypsy he possesses strong PSI power, he teleported from the fall and return to where the heroes are, Fassad is furious. "That's it ! You have been a thorn on my side for far too long. Mecha Drago come to me !"
With Fassad's command a green tyrannosaurus like creature stampeding from below towards the heroes, the dinosaur seems to have mechanical alteration done to it's body.
The four of them able to jump aside to avoid the rampaging dinosaur.
"Whoa ! A dinosaur !" Shouted Diddy.
"It's the Mecha Drago, that's the creature who killed my mom." Revealed Lucas.
"I had this Mecha Drago hidden in case things go awry for me, good thing I came prepared." Explained Fassad.
"I see, then I guess we should..." Before Toon Link speak further Lucas cut him off.
"No I wish to save her too, Dragos are peaceful creatures despite their appearance, she's only become like this because of those mechanical alterations." Lucas explains how the Mecha Drago is just another victim of Pigmask Army experimentations.
Mecha Drago then breathe fire onto the the heroes, but Toon Link used the Deku Leaf again and blow the fire away. Jr. Activate the drill on the clown car and begin drilling the chimera. The creature is roaring in pain, with victory seemed to be at hand.
Diddy then follows by using his Chimpy Charge as he headbutted the cyborg dinosaur, freeing it from Jr's drill and knocking it away, Toon Link and Lucas about to deal with the finishing blow but...
"Stop right there !" Shouted Fassad as when the heroes looked at him, Fassad grabbed Flint by the collar, and he has an electric energy on his other hand. "Attack any further and the dad gets it !"
"Dad ! No !" As Lucas tried to attack Fassad the Magypsy teleported and float above the cliff. "You know what would happen if I dropped him off this cliff do you ?"
"Oh no you don't !" Diddy used his telekinesis to pull Flint away from Fassad, but the rogue Magypsy refuse to yield as he used his own telekinesis to make sure Flint doesn't fall to the heroes hand.
As the heroes about to help Diddy, the Mecha Drago suddenly got up and charged at the heroes, the sudden attack caught the heroes off guard, causing Jr to dropped the Egg of Light.
Fassad seeing this let go of Flint as he teleported next to the Egg of Light.
"Looks like I can't waste my time here, the enemies are fiercer than I thought, not to mention Hinawa is still lacking combat experience, they also have powers that I had no idea how to defend myself against, well my mission is complete, all I have to do is retreat." Fassad then teleported Mecha Drago, Claus, Hinawa, and himself away.
"Wait ! He's gone." Lucas said dejectedly.
"He teleported away with that creature and your family, but don't worry we'll get him next time." Assured Diddy.
"Yeah, for now it seems your dad is in need of help." Toon Link pointed at the still unconscious Flint.
The heroes rushed to Flint's side as they attempt to wake him up, Lucas used PSI Healing on Flint, which resuscitates him.
"Dad ? Are you okay ?" Asked Lucas as Flint rubbing his head.
Flint looked at Lucas, but..."Who are you ?" Flint doesn't seem to recognize Lucas.
Lucas is shocked by the words coming from Flint's mouth. "Dad ? It's me Lucas, you don't remember me ?"
"Sorry, but I don't remember much of anything, on how do I get here, and where is this place ?" Flint looked around in confusion.
"I saw what happened, that Fassad guy used true Egg of Light on your dad, you said that thing can restore lost memories right ? So then it also able to take away memories too right ? That's how the people of this island forget their past right ?" Explained Diddy.
"Whoa ! A talking monkey !" The terrified Flint crawled away from Diddy.
"Yeah, but how much of his memories taken away ? He doesn't seem to remember us, or even his own son ?" Asked Jr.
"There's got to be a lot if he doesn't even remember a place not too far from his village." Added Toon Link.
Lucas then make a decision. "You guys, maybe I'm staying here for now, I can't leave my dad alone in an amnesiac state."
"But you have psychic powers right ? Can't you just restore his memories ?" Asked Jr.
"Sorry, I don't know any PSI techniques that involves memories, maybe Mewtwo or Rosalina will know what to do." Stated Lucas.
"Those two are on a mission as well, alright fine, once Mewtwo and Rosalina is back we will bring either of them here and restore your dad's memories." Stated Toon Link.
Afterwards they return back from Mt. Oriander back to Tazmily Village, Lucas and Flint return to their house, with Flint returned to his room, Lucas discuss things a bit with his teammates before they leave.
Lucas's House
"You said he's something called a Magypsy right ? What is that exactly ?" Asked Toon Link.
"Hard to say, but I guess the right term is they're akin to a spirits, they have a duty of protecting the seven needles needed to awaken the Dark Dragon." Explained Lucas.
"I also heard when he says when the needles are pulled they're dead ?" Questioned Diddy.
"Yes, their life is tied to the needles, once pulled they will vanished from the world, so I guess resurrecting them is impossible." Explained Lucas.
"Maybe we don't have to, we can always sealed them away or imprisoned them, Zelda and Ganindoef can do that at least." Said Toon Link.
"I suppose we don't have a choice, Fassad aside the other six Magypsy are my allies, I really hope things don't have to go like this." Lucas said dejectedly.
"It's too late for that, we all gonna face against our friends and families anyway, but we know we can save them this time." Said Diddy.
Lucas perked up a bit. "You're right, once Thanatos is gone there will be no one left to control them, now then onto the next topic ?"
"So the Egg of Light was his target all along." Said Diddy.
"The power to manipulate memories, whether taking or restoring it, there a lot you can do with that." Added Toon Link.
"I won't rule out the possibility of implanting false memories as well, they could easily turn enemies into allies without conflict." Jr statements ended turning the conversation into darker turn.
"W-well the people still remember Fassad, so they won't trust him a second time right ?" Asked Lucas nervously.
Diddy then figures out a suggestion. "Not if he erase their memories first, Lucas you have allies during your quest don't you ? Why don't you get some help from them ?"
"You're right ! Before Fassad can return I can warn my friends so they can be ready !" Lucas used his Telepathy to communicate with his companions.
Osohe Castle
Located north of Tazmily Village lies a large castle, the castle is destroyed during the Dark Dragons awakening, however after the apocalypse is over the residents offered to rebuild the castle for the lone girl who live there as thanks for restoring the world.
A girl with bright reddish pink hair live there by herself, but she tend to visit Tazmily Village occasionally, she's one of Lucas traveling companion, her name is Kumatora, and she received Lucas psychic message. "Lucas ? What does he mean Fassad is back ?"
Old Men Paradise
A place that used to be Wess and Duster's house is now become a retirement home where the elderly of Tazmily resides, and thai time the building is renovated so that it looks like actual retirement home and not looking like a prison.
And Next Duster who lives with his dad Wess also received the message, the shock in his face cannot be hidden. His father Wess asked what's going on. "Something wrong son ?"
"Yes dad, it seems Fassad is back." Answered Duster which surprised Wess as well. "And he has the Egg of Light with him."
"So he's back is he ? This time we'll be ready for that scoundrel." Wess cracked his fists.
Chimera Lab
Two monkeys, one have a rubber n on its head also received Lucas telepathic message, one monkey is seething in anger as it has a terrible history with Fassad.
Lucas's House
Lucas decided to telepathically tell the rest of the villagers of Fassad's return, while some villagers are worried Lucas assured them that now that they know he's back everyone can start preparing for his return, the villagers who refuse to go down that path again heeded Lucas's warning and braced themselves for Fassad's return.
"I decided to tell everyone on the village about Fassad, they all should be able to prepare." Explained Lucas.
"Okay, but are you sure you don't need one of us staying with you here ?" Asked Toon Link.
"I appreciate the offer, but what we don't need is lack of manpower, in case there's another mission in your homeworld we need someone who knows their way around." Explained Lucas.
"Well my Hyrule is ancient history so I doubt we'll be visiting the flooded Hyrule of my time." Stated Toon Link.
"Alright if you sure then we'll leave, but if there's something too much for you to handle you can always contact us ok ?" Asked Jr.
"Of course, I'll see you guys later then." Lucas waved to his friends.
"Yep, once Mewtwo is back we'll fix your dad's memories immediately." Diddy pull out his golden plate and teleported back to the mansion.
And at the same time Kumatora barged in demanding explanation from Lucas, "Lucas I demand and explanation !" however she briefly saw the teleported trio. "Okay what was that I just saw !?"
"Kumatora ? You're here ?" Lucas is confused by Kumatora's arrival.
"Well obviously ! You'd think to tell me something so important and unbelievable and expect me to just stay at the castle !" Exclaimed Kumatora.
"Lucas we're here as well." Duster and Wess also visited Lucas's house.
"Oh you're here, since you're hereI take it you use the toothbrush I give you on your birthday last year ?" Kumatora snarked at Duster.
"Yes Kumatora it helps with my breath problem, but enough about that, Lucas did you tell us that jerk Fassad returns ? So does that mean he survived our last encounter at that sewer ?" Asked Duster.
Before Lucas can answer the people of Tazmily arrived at Lucas's front door wanting Lucas's explanation, Lucas then explain his new adventure, one that may not only affecting his world, but others as well.
"So you're saying Flint lose his memories, and there's this army working to free an angel like being that wished to destroy us ?" Summed up Kumatora.
"Well yeah that pretty much summed it up." Confirmed Lucas.
"Seriously !? What's with these people trying to disturb us again and again !" Yelled Elmore. "Why can't they just leave us alone !"
"Well that's not how evil works ms shrill voice !" Retorted Wess. "They trample anyone they can in order to achieve their goal, so either you fight them or you let yourself victimized by them !"
"I need your cooperation, I know all of you must be scared, but if we let them push us around they will never leave us alone." Explained Lucas.
"Aaargh...you people are hopeless ! If things gets dicey then here ! Duster and I build a secret path to Osohe castle, you can go there through the well in the middle of the village." Kumatora revealed she and Duster worked to build a tunnel in the well that leads to Osohe Castle.
"We made a secret path on Cerulean beach and Old Man Paradise as well so, feel free to use those as well." Explained Duster.
"Well I know it's scary, but I'm sticking with Lucas." Fuel walked forward and faced the villagers.
Soon the villagers agree and they all decided to cooperate with Lucas.
"You can use the castle as your base in this world if you'd like, it gets lonely there anyway." Said Kumatora.
An old man then spoke to Lucas. "Lucas I'll stay here and help my son in law, he's in his room right ?"
"Yeah, I'll get him out later grandpa Alec." Answered Lucas.
But Lucas don't have to as Flint opened the door and leave the room. "Lucas who are these people ?"
"Dad this is our neighbours." Answered Lucas.
"Flint ? Don't you recognize me ?" Alec walked towards Flint. "It's me Alec your father in law."
"Father in law ? Does this mean I'm married ? Where's my wife ?" Questioned Flint.
"We got a lot of explaining to do." Lucas sighed as the villagers wanted to help jogged Flint's memories Lucas tell them to come one at a time as this number is very overwhelming.
And with that the villagers disperse and decided to visit Flint to help jogged his memory, they also ready to confront Fassad if they must, and they agree to provide anything needed for Lucas and his friends should they ever arrived in Tazmily Village.
I'm done for today, this chapter she'd the spotlight on Mother 3.
Yeah so I decided to give Hinawa PSI abilities, while there's no indication PSI are hereditary, in Mother 3 only the Magypsies and their disciples are capable of wielding PSI, there's no elaboration on what kind of requirements to be a Magypsy student, and so it's reasonable that Hinawa can learn it too under Fassad/Locria's teaching.
Mother 3 ending is so ambiguous I decided to make it up myself, to sum many landmass emerging from the seas, so Nowhere Islands isn't the only patch of land anymore, however those new locations still devoid of human life, migration is needed to repopulate those new lands.
Many of the destroyed locations in Nowhere Islands gets rebuilt after Lucas's adventure and with Lucas awakening the Dark Dragon, evils in this world is washed away, the people of Tazmily seen the error of their ways and leave New Pork City to return to Tazmily Village. The Pigmask Army survived because they all a part of Warriors of Fallen Stars, because they're also destroyed by the Dark Dragon awakening.
Also some of the stuff the villagers found after moving to New Pork City, they decided to bring some of them back to the village for convenience purposes like telephone and tv.
