Introduction / Note from the Author

The following is a sequel to a fan-written alternate ending for the Namco video game Klonoa Heroes: Densetsu no Star Medal, switching between Guntz and Klonoa's points of view (indicated in each chapter title). As a fan work, it is not considered canon (thank Claire).

Because this is a sequel, I'd highly recommend reading "That's the Pain of a Hero" first, as it provides some background for the events within.

Content Warning

Please be aware that this fanfic does include infrequent, slightly more intense language than "Pain of a Hero", and contains three scenes where a character tries to take their own life (two of which are part of nightmare sequences). Reader's discretion is advised, especially for younger fans of the Klonoa series.
