Chapter 19: Wish You Upon A Dream Star
On the bright starry sky, Vicki and Robert were gazing at the stars. They took turns using the telescope so they could see not just the stars, but the planets as well. Suddenly, they discovered a shooting star in the sky. This wasn't the first time they saw it; they made their wish for finding their true love before they met at the town of StarLily.
"Did you see that, Robert?" Vicki asked, pointing at the sky.
"Yes, it's a shooting star!" Robert replied. "Make a wish..."
Vicki and Robert silently made their wish so hopefully their wishes would come true. Suddenly, Sammy and Jimmy came by to see them and needed to tell them something.
"Hey guys, what are you doing?" Sammy asked.
"We're just making a wish," Vicki answered.
"That's right, we just saw the shooting star in few minutes ago and began making our wish," Robert explained.
"Really now?" Jimmy murmured.
"Oh right, there's something we need to discuss," Sammy chimed in, changing the subject.
"And what's that?" Robert asked curiously.
Before Sammy or Jimmy could speak up, they suddenly heard the smartphone ringing. Everyone checked their phones to see if one of them received a phone call.
"Ah, this one's mine!" Sammy announced, as he answered his phone. "Hello? Oh, hi there, Claire, what's up? Yes, yes... That sounds interesting! We'll be there! See you later!"
After Sammy hung up the phone, Vicki was curious and asked, "What did Claire say?"
"Oh, Claire and Sonia are inviting us to the starlight party at their island!" Sammy explained.
"Ah right, they told me about it before... That reminds me, Robert, do you want to come as well?"
"Well, as long as they don't force me to wear something ridiculous, then I'm in!" Robert replied.
"Don't worry, nobody's going to force you to wear something like that. I promise you!"
"Good! I'm very glad now!"
On the next night, Vicki, Robert, Sammy, and Jimmy had arrived in Soma. They met up with Claire and Sonia who were waving at them. The twins were rushing to the girls excitedly while the duo were walking behind them.
"I'm glad that you guys made it!" said Claire.
"Of course, we made it, Claire!" said Sammy proudly.
"So, let's check out the stars now, shall we?" Sonia asked happily.
"Yeah, let's!" Jimmy replied happily.
All the humans were gazing through the unique telescope, which it was two times the size bigger than the normal one. With it, they could each see the stars and the planets up close in the sky. The dark blue wolf named Wolfgang was polishing up his telescope after they were done.
Vicki, Robert, Sammy, Jimmy, Claire, and Sonia were staring at the giant blue sphere with the constellations and the other stars. They could see big and little dippers, zodiac signs, and the others. The blue and white horse with the white unicorn horn named Julian was looking at it in amazement. Once the humans got tired of it, they moved on to the next one.
Six humans saw the bamboo in display. It's not just the ordinary bamboo, but the glimmering one just like the stars. It was made by the light blue and black cat named Lolly. She was selling starry bamboo ornaments made out of bamboo, so the girls decided to buy one.
Robert, Sammy, and Jimmy saw the rocket launching in the sky. It's going higher and higher and higher until it was vanished. They were awed in amazement along with the light blue squirrel named Filbert who had the same reaction as them.
"Wow, have you ever seen the rocket blast off this high, bucko?" Filbert asked, as he caught the boys' attention.
"So, this rocket belongs to you, Filbert?" Robert asked curiously.
"Yep, it's mine alright! I always dreamed of becoming an astronaut, bucko!"
"Keep dreaming, little squirrel..." said Sammy sarcastically.
"Yeah, keep dreaming alright..." said Jimmy flatly.
Robert cleared his throat loudly whether Sammy and Jimmy made fun of Filbert or not. "Well, I hope your dream will come true whenever you will become an astronaut, Filbert."
"Thanks, I owe you one, bucko!"
Meanwhile, the girls were hopping on the floating clouds and started to lie down. The red-violet sheep named Stella was snoozing on the floating crescent moon. She blinked her eyes before opening them and started tossing and turning her body. Finally, she fell asleep once again without a care in the world.
As soon as the midnight came to the close at Soma Island, Vicki, Robert, Sammy, and Jimmy were heading back to Triforce. All of the sudden, they saw the dark aurora out of nowhere and heard someone screaming. The humans checked to see of what's happening. Few moments later, they saw the vampire demon, Viridian snatching all five dream life forces from the animals and turned them into the nightmare monsters. Sammy, Jimmy, Claire, and Sonia started to scream in fear.
"Uh, guys, don't panic, okay?" said Vicki, as she tried to calm her friends and her neighbors down. "Robert and I will go this way, and the rest of you will go that way."
"Got it!" everyone exclaimed, as they were heading to the different directions.
"That's an excellent strategy you got there, Vicki!" said Robert, praising her.
"Thanks, Robert, it's the only way to give us some time to transform!" said Vicki, as she took out her transformation mic. "Angelic dream rescue action!"
"Knight dream rescue action!"
Sammy, Jimmy, Claire, and Sonia continued to scream and run away from the nightmare monsters. As soon as they found themselves a dead end, they were now surrounded. They all embraced each other when Viridian ordered the monsters to attack them. Suddenly, their attacks got cancelled out by the light magic attack. The four humans were relieved that they were saved, but the villains, on the other hand, did not approve at all.
"Hey Viridian, if you want to keep hurting those innocent people, you'll have to beat us first!" Phantom Angel exclaimed.
"That's right, you can try all you want!" Masked Swordmaster exclaimed. "Otherwise, just give it up already!"
"Oh, shut up, both of you!" Viridian shouted. "I'm going to put you both out of my misery for sure! Monsters, attack!"
When the four people got away from danger, Phantom Angel and Masked Swordmaster were always prepared for battle. One of the nightmare monsters launched the rocket missiles at the dynamic duo. Masked Swordmaster countered them with his dream rescuing cannon. Another monster removed her nightcap to spread out the haze. The heroes looked out their surroundings while the haze was still in effect. Suddenly, they sensed the incoming attack, and it was coming right behind them. The fiery supernova comet was launched by the nightmarish wolf. Phantom Angel quickly summoned the phantom portal to suck up the attack before it closed up. Then, the portal was opened again, but this time, in the different location. The supernova comet was heading straight to Viridian's direction. When the vampire demon turned around, she was launched into the night sky by the comet until she was out of sight. The nightmarish horse summoned the meteor showers and aimed directly at the Duo of Justice. Phantom Angel used her barrier to protect herself and Masked Swordmaster from getting a direct hit.
"Rescuing cannon starlight showers!" Masked Swordmaster shouted, as he aimed his cannon at the sky. Then, the starlight showers were raining down on the nightmare monsters. Finally, they were all fallen down to the ground.
"Dream healing refresh!" Phantom Angel shouted, as she used her staff to cure the animals and returned them to normal.
Sammy, Jimmy, Claire, and Sonia were at the beach. They saw the meteor showers in the sky, so they decided to watch. They were all wondering how Vicki and Robert were holding up since Viridian's invasion. Since the Slapjack twins knew their neighbors very well, they wouldn't worry about them as long as they were safe. The girls nodded along and stayed by their side until the meteor showers ended.
Meanwhile on the opposite side, Phantom Angel and Masked Swordmaster were also watching the meteor showers. The angel was standing very close to the white knight since nobody was around, not even Claire, Sonia, and the Slapjack brothers. She was curious of how the guardians were holding up, including Luna. He was very sure that they were fine by now.
"Although, Luna hasn't even contacted us in a while now..." said Masked Swordmaster, while he was prodding.
"Do you think something might happen to her?" Phantom Angel asked.
"I hope not...But if there is, then she would've told us right away."
"Let's hope that nothing's wrong with her."
"Yeah, you're right."
After the dynamic duo were talking, they gave each other a kiss without anyone noticing. Both of them were blushing a bit at the same time.
Back in Triforce, Serena, Neon, and Wisp were minding their own business at the lake without a single person or animal contacting them. Few moments later, the light began to shine from the lake. When the light subsided, Luna appeared right in front of them. But they saw her in her terrible state as if she was sick.
"L-Luna, are you alright?" Serena asked, looking worried.
"Something tells me that you're not looking so hot!" said Neon anxiously.
"E-Everyone, please remain calm..." said Luna patiently, as she was out of breath.
"How can we remain calm when you're now in a weak state?!" Wisp asked, in a panic tone. "I mean, just look at yourself! What happened?"
"Do you all remember I told you about the dream life forces and the vicious nightmare mistress?"
"Yes, we do!" Serena replied. "But don't tell us that-!"
"I-I'm afraid so...When she collects every last of the dream life forces, I...I'll be vanished...out of nowhere..."
Serena, Neon, and Wisp gasped at the horror response from Luna. The trio needed to find a way to save the guardian of dream, or it could spell doom for them.
