Here's the sequel to my other fic, More Than Just Sorrow. If you haven't read that, you won't understand this. I was just gonna make this an epilogue, but then I came up with this whole new story, and thus the sequel was born. Enjoy, and please review this one! (And the other one, if you happen to read it)

I don't own any characters, except Rastik, Kopaska, Yudenno, Morval, and anyone I made up from my last story.

Klonoa's House, Real World

Klonoa had been feeling different lately. He felt strange ever since he had agreed to remember his dark side, back in Lunatea. He obviously felt a bit darker than usual, but maybe his mind wasn't ready for all that darkness yet. He hoped that Lolo would call him back to Lunatea so he could get that cleared up, as well as a few other things that had been nagging at his mind. He lay in his bed, and, after several restless hours (he couldn't get much sleep, either), he went to sleep, drifting off into his dreams.

Sea of Tears, Lunatea

"Here we go again," said Klonoa. He found himself in Lunatea, falling toward the Sea of Tears, just as in his last dream. But this time around, he had a few new tricks up his sleeve. He held out his ring, and shouted, "Monster Call! Kiton! Come to my aid!" A monster appeared on it. It was the Kiton, a turquoise table-like creature with disassembled limbs. On Klonoa's ring, it could be used to fly, but only for a short time. Elevating higher and higher into the sky, Klonoa was nearing land. He prepared himself to fall, as the Kiton began to rotate on his ring. The Kiton popped, and Klonoa fell down toward land. When he was about five yards away from the outer island, he flapped his ears for the final stretch. He grabbed on to the edge of one of the rocks hanging off the island, and pulled himself up. He sat down next to a dead tree, and looked at the center of the island. It looked much different than he remembered. The wrecked Hall of Sorrow had replaced the center island. The Bell of Sorrow still stood on it. There were black marks everywhere from the battle with his dark side, Dark Death. Klonoa saw a path of wrecked stone blocks from the Hall of Sorrow floating in the water. "Jetimo!" he shouted. A Jetimo appeared on his ring. It blasted him up, floated him over the first block, and landed him there. He repeated this process, getting further and further away from the Sea of Tears…

Reyza's Island, Lunatea

Reyza sat and meditated at his tree. He was very busy these days, and a moment to meditate was rare. He had taken in a few people as his students, and was taking lots of time to train them.

Three of the students had come from distant lands of Lunatea, ones closed off even after the Fifth Bell fiasco. These lands became aware of the rest of Lunatea when Dark Death wreaked havoc on their land using the Elements, since he did things far worse. The lands of Mischavar, Curiasta, and Solemmite met up with the surrounding lands of La-Lakoosha, Joilant, Volk, Mira-Mira, and the New Kingdom of Sorrow, and soon, they became 'one of the crowd,' so to speak. They were part of each other's lives now.

"Yo, Master Reyza!" shouted a voice from far away. Reyza looked up to see his three foreign students standing on the rocks floating in front of his island.

"What are you doing?" the second one asked, looking at Reyza inquiringly.

"I'm meditating, Kopaska," said Reyza, "something you will learn of soon." He looked at the three. They were quite the motley group. The one in front, Rastik, had the look of a hyena: the snout, the eyes, and the teeth were all there. He always wore a shirt with blue flames on it. He was the mischievous one of the group. And why wouldn't he be? He came from Mischavar, the land of mischief.

Kopaska, the second one in line, looked like a brown and white owl. He wore a black vest and a matching eye patch. He was from Curiasta, the land of curiosity, and, like the rest of the people there, he was very curious. He liked exploring new things, and there was never an end to the things he didn't know. In fact, there was a story behind his eye patch. One day, as he was walking through the woods of Curiasta, he found a baby Ow-Gow in a hollowed out tree. He peeked inside, and the Ow-Gow tore his eye clean out. He didn't stop exploring after that, though. Curiosity ran in the blood of the Curiastan race. Nothing could stop them from trying to learn.

The last one, Yudenno, looked like a green iguana. He wore a yellow and brown robe and several silver rings on his fingers. He was always very serious, just like the people of his land, Solemmite. He listened obediently during every lesson, and spoke only when he had a question. He took every matter formally, as was common for the Solemmitians.

"What brings you here today, my students?" Reyza asked. Today was their day of rest.

"Hey, I could ask you the same question," said Rastik. "That girl…what's 'er name…Lolo, told us to come here. Said we were in for a surprise."

"I wonder what it could be?" said Kopaska, excited. "I love surprises!"

"I, for one, would like to see what she's talking about," said Yudenno.

Just as Reyza was about to say something, his last two students came. Heading up the group was Flieber, the Mommett doll that had accompanied Klonoa on his last journey. If not for Flieber, Klonoa's world, as well as Lunatea, would've been destroyed. Next to Flieber was none other than Dark Death. After the last debacle, Dark Death had turned to the ways of good, though he still kept his name and original attire. "Master Reyza," said Flieber, "Miss Lolo told us to come here. What the heck is going on?" Dark Death remained strangely silent.

"I'm beginning to wonder that myself," said Reyza.

Suddenly, Tat and Leorina flew in with their plane. "Well, well," said Tat, "looks like the gang's all here. What's the big deal? Lolo told us to come here."

"What is that girl up to?" said Reyza to himself. Then, he saw Lolo walking up to the island, with Popka floating behind her. "Perfect timing!" said Reyza. "Lolo, what's going on here?"

Lolo smiled and addressed all of them: "Everyone, I'd like you to welcome back an old, or in some cases, new friend," she briefly glanced at Rastik, Kopaska, and Yudenno, and then went back to her speech. "My friends, I welcome back to you…Klonoa!"

Just then, Klonoa fell down from the sky and landed on the rock pathway to the island. He looked around as he walked toward the crowd. "Whoa," he said, "why are all of you guys here?"

"That's exactly what we're wondering," Leorina said. Everyone looked at Lolo.

Lolo smiled. "My friends, I have created something wonderful," she said. She took a strange box-shaped device out of her pocket. "This is a machine I've developed with the help of Popka and Dark Death. Dark Death, if you would explain the technical details."

Dark Death stepped forward. "Using the Elements, which are put into this slot," he said, as he pointed to a slot on the machine that held the Elements, "we can activate the part of Klonoa's brainstem that triggers the dream of Lunatea. That's how he got here."

"Well, there's one question answered," said Klonoa, "but I have quite a few more." He looked over at the trio of Reyza's new students. "First of all, who are these three?"

"Oh, of course," said Reyza, "I forgot to introduce them. Klonoa, these are my new students: Rastik, Kopaska, and Yudenno."

The trio greeted Klonoa, and Kopaska said, "I've been hearing that you saved our world twice! Is that true?"

Klonoa smiled. "Yes, it's true," he said, "but I try not to brag about it." He turned to Reyza. "Where did these guys come from? They don't look like anyone I've ever seen in Lunatea."

Reyza explained the story. After he was done, he said, "Klonoa, I'm glad you've come. There are quite a few things I want to teach you." He got a better look at Klonoa, seeing that his clothes looked a bit mangled and his shoes were wet. "But you look like you've had quite the journey! You need your rest. Flieber," he said, motioning to the doll, "show Klonoa to the guesthouse over the hill."

"Yes, sir, Master Reyza, sir!" said Flieber. "Follow me, Mister Klonoa!"

"Just a second, Flieber," said Klonoa. He looked back at the group. "Like I said before, I have some questions. I'll rest, Reyza, but promise me you and everyone else will try to answer them tomorrow?"

"Of course, Klonoa," Reyza replied, "and rest up good, okay? Tomorrow's going to be a long day."

"Sure thing," said Klonoa. And with that, he followed Flieber over the hill and went into the guesthouse. He lay down in the bed. As he drifted off into sleep, he suddenly realized that he was falling asleep in a dream. Before he could think about it any more, he drifted into slumber.
