The Land Before Mushroom
VIII
The Big Freeze
By Carter Hession
Chapter 1: Mr. Thicknose
3 weeks have passed since Mario and his friends' last adventure with Littlefoot and the other led them to learn the secret about the stone of cold fire. Mario never told anyone else about what Hank and Linda showed them. Snow has come to The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom. The rest of Mario's friends didn't have plans so they decided to drop by for a visit. After everyone went exploring, they all bumped into something. Mario looked at what it was. It was a light brown thick-nosed dinosaur.
(Mario) Mr. Thicknose.
(Mr. Thicknose) Well. Hello yourself Mario.
(Mario) Yeah. Sorry.
(?) Hey Guys.
(Mario) Hey Littlefoot. Over here.
Littlefoot and the others got here just in time.
(Cera) Hey guys. We met up with the rest of your friends on our way here.
(Petrie) Me happy to meet you.
(Tickles) Hello.
(Mr. Thicknose) Young ones. I know you're happy to see a new friend.
Just then Luigi saw Ducky, Tickles, and Spike feeling sleepy eyed.
(Luigi) What's up with you guys?
(Ducky) We couldn't sleep last night because we met Yokai and they kept waking us up.
(Flashback)
Last night, Ducky and Tickles were sleeping on Spike's back. But Jibanyan was lying so close to Mama Swimmer that Ducky, Tickles, and Spike had less space.
(Ducky) Jibanyan. You do take up a lot of room.
(Tickles) Move over so me, Ducky, and Spike can have more room.
But Jibanyan just kept on sleeping. So Ducky, Tickles, and Spike tried to sleep on USApyon. But then USApyon started snoring. USApyon was snoring so hard that it was too loud for Ducky, Tickles, and Spike to get some sleep and USApyon snoring ended up blowing Ducky and Tickles off of him and they landed on their backs and Spike covered his ears.
(Tickles) Please USApyon. Don't snore like that.
(Ducky) Not tonight. Because we are very tired.
But then Jibanyan rolled over onto his back and his head landed on Ducky and Tickles' bellies. They tried to get out but their bellies were stuck under Jibanyan sense he's too big. Both Ducky, Tickles and Spike let out a big sigh now that they were about to get the lack of a good night sleep.
(End of flashback. Back to present)
That's why Ducky, Tickles, and Spike are tiered. Right now, all 3 of them are sleeping.
(Mr. Thicknose) Ducky. Tickles. Spike.
Ducky, Tickles, annd Spike then woke up. Along with the Yokai.
(Mr. Thicknose) Can you 3 please try to stay awake?
(Ducky) That is so not fair for the Yokai.
Spike nods in agreement
(Mr. Thicknose) Ducky. Tickles. Spike. Can you be a little quieter?
Now both Ducky, Tickles, and Spike looked at the Yokai with mad looks on their faces.
(Jibanyan) What? Maybe i'm just gonna eat a choco bar
Spike heard what he said and was about to eat a treestar but Jibanyan ate a choco bar and it got crumbs on it.
(Tickles) Jibanyan. Spike was about to eat that.
(Ducky) Mama got them just for me, Tickles, and Spike.
(Mr. Thicknose) Young ones. Please. Oh with all those interruptions, I can't think straight. Ducky, Tickles, Spike you 3 move over here. And all of you Yokai, You over there.
The 3 did what they were told and moved away from each other. Mr. Thicknose then spotted some more Spike-tails. Yet, Ducky, Tickles, and Spike were facing the Yokai and then blew raspberry at him.
(Komasan) That's not very nice
However, Jibanyan was walking in front of a log. He then got something in his head. He moved his mouth closer to the hole inside the log. Then he took a deep breath and then blew into the log and it made the sound of the horn on a farry. Doing so ended up scaring Spike that he ran straight into the same tree he talked about and rammed it with his head. Doing so made a purple watermelon fall onto his head.
(Jibanyan) Sorry Spike. Just testing how It works.
But Jibanyan then notes Spikes angry face and growl and Toadette noticed
(Toadette) Easy Boy. Easy
(USApyon) Uhh. I think we should go now. Come on guys.
Chapter 2: The Mad Song
As the gang walked through the forest, Komasan somehow felt upset.
(Komasan) I don't even know why your friends even bother to talk to us. We just seem to upset him.
(Komajiro) What do mean we?
Yoshi was rolling the same watermelon that fell on Toads head.
(Komasan) I don't know.
(Komajiro) Well how would you feel if someone dropped fruit on your head?
(Petrie) Me no know.
However, Yoshi swung his tail on the watermelon and it went into the air and hit Petrie on his back and made him fall on his belly and then the watermelon landed on his head.
(Petrie) Ow. Me do now.
(Jibanyan) Come on Komasan. Forget it and just pass the ball.
Komasan then felt that his brother was right. So he grabbed the mellon and threw it to Littlefoot as he kicked it.
(Littlefoot) Heads up USApyon.
Lucky for USApyon, he was able to catch the mellon in time
(USApyon) I got it.
As the gang played their game, Ducky, Tickles, and Spike were sitting at a pond while they were thinking about what happened. Cera and Daisy saw them and walked to them.
(Daisy) Hey. Aren't you 3 coming?
(Ducky) I do not feel like playing right now. No, no, no.
(Tickles) Me nether.
Spike nods in agreement
(Cera) Well what is it?
(Ducky) We feel funny.
(Daisy) Funny Good or Funny Bad?
(Tickles) Funny Bad.
(Cera) Oh my. Are you 3 sick?
(Tickles) No. We feel like something is burning in us like the lava in the volcanoes.
(Daisy) Oh. That. You're not sick.
(Ducky) Oh. That is good. But then what is wrong with us?
(Cera) Nothing. You 3 are just mad.
(Ducky) Well what do you know. We are mad.
(Tickles) Well who are we mad at?
But as they saw the rest of the gang pass by, Yoshi ate the mellon. Ducky, Tickles, and Spike just laughed at Yoshi, but as Jibanyan started to sleep they knew who they were mad at.
(Ducky) We know alright.
(Tickles) We're mad at the Yokai. How do we express my feelings to him?
(Ducky) I would like to know too. Yep, yep, yep.
(Cera) You came to the right place. If there's one thing us Three-horns know about. It's being mad.
(Daisy) Count me in too. Even I know everything about being mad.
So Ducky, Tickles, and Spike followed Cera And Daisy to learn how to express their feelings. Mario saw them however.
(Mario) Looks like Cera, Ducky, and Daisy are going to have some girl time. Wait. Tickles and Spike are with them. Maybe they only needed just one boy for what they plan on doing.
Mario didn't care what they were doing however. So he went back to the game.
Spike was wondering by himself, looking for food. He spotted a bush close by and was about to bite it until he bumped into something. He peeked over the other side of the bush and saw what he thinks he's seeing. It was a pink Spike-tail who was just about the same size as Spike. But unlike Spike, the pink Spike-tail is a girl and can talk.
(Pink Spike-tail) Hiya, hiya.
(?) Now remember Tippy, bolt your food. That way you can eat more.
Tippy looked behind her and saw her mother coming this way.
(Tippy) Look mama. Friend.
(Tippy's mother) Why hello there. I didn't know there were any Spike-tails in The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom. Oh how do you do? You and your family must come over and see us.
Spike nodded his head yes as he went back to his nesting ground.
(Tippy) Friend, friend, friend.
(Tippy's mother) Yes. He seemed really nice.
(Daisy) Hey Spike, come on.
Spike heard what Daisy said and went on and said bye to Tippy. So he had an idea for them.
(Daisy) Spike. There you are. What happened.
Spike explained what he's trying to say and Ducky understood what he said.
(Ducky) Spike said that he saw other spike-tails and we should see them.
(Cera) Great plan Spike. But we need to practice. Okay?
Spike licks Cera for her response and she wipes the slobber off her face.
(Cera) I'll take that as a yes.
So then Ducky, Tickles, and Spike were making mad faces and growling as Cera and Daisy showed them to do.
(Cera) Not too bad.
(Daisy) Only try to make your mouths go down farther.
(Ducky) But this is as far as they can go.
(Daisy) Look. If you're gonna feel mad, you both gotta look mad.
(Tickles) But we don't know how to feel mad.
(Daisy) Well the mad faces are just the beginning.
(Cera) There's more to being mad then you think.
Cera and Daisy then started to sing a song that came into their heads.
(Cera) When your tummy feels all sticky and hot.
(Daisy) Like it's filled with bubbling goo.
(Cera and Daisy) And those fuzzy buzzy things inside your head make you all sad and blue.
(Daisy) Don't go around pretending that there is nothing wrong with you.
(Cera) When you Feel that prickly, ickley thing. Do what the Three-horns do.
(Daisy) It's what I do.
(Ducky) What do you do?
(Cera and Daisy) We get ma ma ma ma ma ma MAD!
(Tickles) How do you do that?
(Daisy) First, make your face all skinny and scary. Don't raise up your head.
(Cera) Hold your breath, until you're blue. And make your eyes turn red.
(Daisy) Squinch your face up, winkle your beak, like you just smelled something bad.
(Cera) Turn your smiling face upside down. That's the way you look.
(Cera and Daisy) When you're mad.
(Daisy) Now put your hands on your hips. Shoulders back.
(Cera) Stomp your feet in the dirt.
(Daisy) Kick some rocks.
Ducky, Tickles, and Spike tried to kick one but it hurt.
(Ducky, Tickles, and Spike) Ow.
(Cera) But not too hard.
(Ducky) Cause that can really hurt.
(Cera) Pretend that you're a Sharp-tooth.
(Tickles) I could pretend I am your dad.
(Daisy) Grumble and mumble real loud. That's the way you sound.
(Cera and Daisy) When you're mad.
(All) When there's mad inside you. Or sad inside you. You got to let what's inside out.
(Cera) Give a big old snort. And stamp your feet.
(Daisy) Stick up your beak and shout.
(Cera) Say "no".
(Ducky) NO!
(Cera) Say "gerrr".
(Ducky) GRRR!
(Daisy) Say "no".
(Tickles) NO!
(Daisy) "Gerrr"
(Tickles) GRRR!
(Cera) Say "no"
(Spike) NO!
(Daisy) Say "Grrr"
(Spike) GRRR!
(Cera and Daisy) Now you're angry.
(Cera) And ones you get mad.
(Daisy) You got to stay mad.
(Cera and Daisy) Don't give a inch.
(Ducky and Tickles) But what if we start to feel better?
(Cera and Daisy) No. You hold your grudge until they grovel.
(Ducky and Tickles) Til they what?
(Cera and Daisy) Grovel
(Ducky) Oh. Alright then.
(Ducky and Tickles) But we do not know
(Cera) And when you're really really really really mad.
(Daisy) And you got to let off steam.
(Cera) Take a deep breath.
(Daisy) Throw back your head.
(Cera and Daisy) Stand on your toes. And, SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAM!
Cera and Daisy's scream was loud enough for Topps to hear it from far away.
(Topps) Oh ho. She's mad at somebody.
And that's when the song ended.
(Cera and Daisy) See?
(Ducky) I did not know being mad was such hard work. But now we know how to feel mad.
(Tickles) And now we're ready to be mad.
Spike nods in agreement.
Cera and Daisy were glad that their mad lessons for Ducky, Tickles, and Spike were a success. Just then Tippy came.
(Daisy) Oh hey. Is that your friend that Spike was talking about?
Spike nods to the answer
(Ducky) What's her name
(Tippy) Tippy. Tippy. Tippy.
(Cera) Tippy. That's a great name. I better go tell Mario. Also he has that scarf. I might show that to him.
Chapter 3: True or False
5 hours later, Luigi felt something touch his hat. He woke up and saw what it was. It was snowing.
(Luigi) Snow. That means soon the whole kingdom will be covered with it.
However, the snow didn't last very long.
(Luigi) I better tell the others in the morning.
Right now, all that Luigi could do was go back to sleep.
The next morning, Luigi told Mr. Thicknose what happened last night.
(Mr. Thicknose) Ha ha ha ha. Are you kidding me? Snow?
(Luigi) Yeah. So we better start storing up some leaves before The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom gets all covered up with snow and all the green will be killed.
(Mr. Thicknose) Ha ha ha ha. Luigi, Luigi, Luigi. Snow never happens in The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom. Snow only comes in places the Far Walkers come here to get away from. Now, where is Ducky, Spike, and Tickles? They were supposed to be here a minute ago.
(Luigi) I'll go find them.
So Luigi went to find Ducky.
Cera and Daisy's mad lessons have really paid off for Ducky, Tickles, and Spike. The whole Swimmer family, except the Yokai, was swimming around in the pond. Ducky, Tickles, and Spike were playing with their siblings Diver, Thunder, and Skippy.
(Ducky) ROAR! Look at me. I am a shark.
As they played their game, Mama and Papa Swimmer spotted Luigi coming.
(Mama Swimmer) Well. Hello Luigi.
(Luigi) Hey. Where's Ducky, Spike, and Tickles? We were supposed to meet up with Mr. Thicknose today.
(Papa Swimmer) Oh. I'm sorry Luigi. But Diver, Thunder, and Skippy really wanted to play with them today.
Luigi looked at the Swimmer kids, Tickles, and Spike playing in the water. However, all that the Yokai could do was watch from the side of the pond.
(Mama Swimmer) Ducky. Tickles. Spike. The Yokai are feeling left out.
(Ducky) We can not help it.
Spike nods in agreement
(Tickles) Who cares if we can swim and he can not?
Ducky, Tickles, and Spike are still mad at the Yokai for what happened yesterday.
(Luigi) Anyway. I'm sure you'll believe me that I saw snow fall last night.
(Papa Swimmer) Ha ha ha ha. Good one Luigi. But like Mr. Thicknose told us, snow can never come anywhere in The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom.
(Luigi) Well don't come running to me when the whole Kingdom gets covered with snow.
Somehow, The Yokai believed what Luigi said was true. Then something pushed them into the water. He looked behind him and yet, he saw Tippy.
(Tippy) Hiya. Hiya.
Tippy ran up to Spike and licks his face and Spike licks him back
(Tippy) Ha Ha Ha. Tickles
And even Tippy's mother was here.
(Tippy's mother) Way hello there. We meet again. And where's your family?
But Spike didn't have to answer because the whole Swimmer family and Luigi came by.
(Mama Swimmer) Hello. We're his family.
(Tippy's mother) Really? How...nice.
(Papa Swimmer) Well you see. Spike lost his family and
(Tippy's mother) Spike. Is that his name? Well I think it's brilliant.
(Tippy) Spike, Spike, Spike.
(Mama Swimmer) There weren't any other Spike-tails in The Great Valley before it was changed
(Tippy's mother) Until now. So you took him in.
(Papa Swimmer) Yes we did. Though it hasn't always been easy.
At that response, The yokai were so close to Ducky, Tickles, Spike, and Tippy that they were about to fall in the water.
(Ducky) Mover over you guys.
(Tickles) Move over.
But the Yokai have already pushed them into the water.
(Ducky and Tickles) Mama. Mama.
(Mama Swimmer) Oh you. Just swim dears.
Ducky, Tickles, Spike, and Tippy managed to swim but now they were more mad at the Yokai even Tippy.
(Jibanyan) Sorry. Our Bad.
(Tippy's mother) Say. Do you think the Yokai would enjoy visiting my herd? I mean just for the day. They could see how our own kind lives.
(Papa Swimmer) Would you like that guys?
(Fuu 2) Sure we will.
(Mee 2) It would be fun.
(Papa Swimmer) Well okay then.
(Tippy's mother) We'll have him back before the Bright Circle leaves the sky.
(Luigi) I better go get my friends to come as well
So the yokai and Tippy's mother to the rest of the Far Walkers along with Tippy while Luigi went off to find the others. And now Ducky, Tickles, and Spike were feeling left out.
(Skippy) Shall we go back in the water guys?
(Ducky) Maybe later.
(Tickles) I'm with you.
Spike nods in agreement
So Spike walked up to a tree and shook it and tree stars fell and Spike catches some with his tongue. Then Jibanyan came in.
(Jibanyan) Hey Spike.
Spike growls at Jibanyan
(Jibanyan) I told Tippy's mother if I can stay here for a sleepover tonight is that okay?
Then Spike was stunned for a moment because he didn't wan't to have the same thing all over again so he stuck his tongue out and put his tail behind his throat.
(Spike) Bleh
(Jibanyan) Since I wanna not have the same night again, I had to bring my friends along with me. Looks like we're gonna be den buddies!
(Ducky, Tickles, Spike) NOOOOOOOOOO!
Chapter 4: A day with Spike-tails
The Yokai watched Spike and Tippy racing around the Far Walkers. They had to admit, it was kind of cute seeing Spike playing with someone of his own kind. However, Spike and Tippy ran into each other on their heads and fell down. As they got up, Tippy got ready to charge and ran again. Spike quickly followed her.
Later, The gang were having some lunch. While Luigi was talking to the leader of the Spike-tail herd.
(Spike-tail leader) Ha ha. That's a good one. Snow? In The Great Valley?
(Luigi) I'm not joking. I really did see snow fall last night.
(Spike-tail leader) Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. That joke gets funnier every time you say it. I should have expected more from the guys who defeated Sharptooth.
9 minutes later, Spike and Tippy were playing in a stream. The Yokai watched them from the other side.
(USApyon) What do you know? Spike found a new friend.
(Mee 2) She seems really nice. I wonder if she's with the Far Walkers.
And then, right before dark. Papa Swimmer was having a talk with Tippy's mother.
(Tippy's mother) Oh. So Spike is one of the children who defeated Sharptooth.
(Papa Swimmer) That's right.
Ducky, Tickles and Spike watched the 2 grown-ups talk. Tippy's mother then asked if the Yokai would like to stay the night with the Far Walkers. The Yokai agreed with her and went with Tippy's mother to the rest of the Far Walkers. Ducky, Tickles, and Spike were now feeling more mad then they were before.
When night time came, Spike and Tippy slept next to each other. They kept rolling onto each other and then pushed one off of the other one. But to them, it was fun.
Ducky and Tickles were sleeping next to Diver, Thunder, and Skippy. They were still not happy that the Yokai was sleeping with the Far Walkers. So they moved away from their siblings and slept on copper feet next to Mama Swimmer. They still wanted the Yokai to be here. But they knew the only good thing about this is that they have enough room now. However, they didn't know that snow was falling down.
Luigi felt something on his arm and woke up. He then looked at the sky and saw snow coming down.
(Luigi) I told them.
However, the gang her him talk and woke up and then saw the snow.
(Mario) Well what do you know. It really is snowing here.
(Peach) I think now might be a good time for me and Daisy to change into our winter clothes.
And yet they did before going back to sleep.
Chapter 5: Snow in the Kingdom and Snow War
The next morning. Ducky and Tickles were the first ones to wake up. Their whole bodies were covered with snow. They shuck it off before turning to Mama Swimmer who just now woke up.
(Ducky) Mama. Is this snow?
(Tickles) Are we dreaming?
(Mama Swimmer) No dears. I see it too.
And ever Diver, Thunder, and Skippy were shocked to see snow.
(Diver) Snow. In The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom?
(Skippy) How's that possible?
(Thunder) We should ask Mr. Thicknose about this.
And yet, Spike can see it. He woke up and looked at the snow. He'd never seen anything like it before. So he licked some snow to taste it. It tasted just like water. Spike then grabbed a mouth full and swallowed the snow. But it was so cold that it made Spike shiver. But he still liked it.
(Ducky) Spike. You like the snow? I get it. It tastes just like water
Spike licks Ducky for her comment and there was slobber on his tongue so she got covered and started shivering.
(Ducky) Even when you are covered in water. You might shiver too.
Spike blushes on her comment. At Littlefoot's nesting ground. The gang all woke up together with Peach and Daisy in their winter clothes.
(Luigi) I knew it. I was right. Snow really did cover The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom.
Littlefoot and his grandparents woke up as well.
(Littlefoot) Whoa. Real snow.
(Grandma Longneck) Have ever seen real snow before dear?
(Grandpa Longneck) No. But I've heard of it. This is what the Far Walkers come to The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom to escape from.
(Grandma Longneck) And now it has come here too.
(Grandpa Longneck) We need to speak to Mr. Thicknose about this.
1 hour later. Everyone was gathered at the rock circle. Mr. Thicknose was surprised about this.
(Mr. Thicknose) Well...some things are said to happen.
(Topps) Oh yeah? Then why is it happening now. This stuff is horrible. I almost couldn't make it all the way from my nest to here.
(Hallowhorn) He fell right into my nose.
(Cera) I gotta admit it was funny.
(Luigi) See? Real snow. Just like I said.
However, Topps heard what Luigi said.
(Topps) What did you say Luigi?
Luigi hesitated. He didn't want to know what would happen if he told Topps what he saw and that he told Mr. Thicknose about it. But he couldn't hold back and said it anyway.
(Luigi) I saw some snow fall the other night. And I told
(Topps) Told who?
(Luigi) My friends. And the Far Walkers. And...Mr...Thicknose.
What Luigi said got Topps to turn angrily at Mr. Thicknose.
(Topps) You knew this stuff was falling?
(Mr. Thicknose) The boy said something. It just seemed so unlikely.
Now everyone was upset. They couldn't believe that Mr. Thicknose didn't believe what Luigi had told him.
(Topps) We're really disappointed in you. We thought you knew everything.
(Mr. Thicknose) So did I. But I do know that the snow won't last long here.
(Luigi) I don't think so. You all might want to start storing up food before the snow kills it all.
Just then, the Far Walkers came to the rock circle.
(Spike-tail leader) Well, well. It seems you weren't joking after all.
(Luigi) Thank you.
(Spike-tail leader) Well, when the white ground sparkles
(Mario) It's called snow.
(Spike-tail leader) Whatever. When the snow comes, that's when we leave.
(Tippy's mother) We Spike-tails eat more than our fair share. And green food is a lot hard to find under all this snow.
(Mr. Thicknose) No worries. The snow will turn to water by tomorrow.
(Mario) But if not, then now might be a good time to store away some food until spring.
(Kosh) Ha ha. No need to jump ahead Mario. There's a chance that Mr. Thicknose is right.
But, while no one was looking, Ducky, Tickles, and Spike were still mad at the Yokai. Ducky used her hands to make a snowball, Tickles used his tail to make his own while Spike used his tail too even Tippy. Then both of them threw their snow balls onto USApyon's face. Just in time for the rest of the gang to see that and gasp.
(Petrie) Hey. That look fun.
Petrie then made a snowball and tried to throw it but tripped and the snow ball fell on his face. He then tried again and this time he threw it. However, it landed on Topps's face.
(Topps) HEY! Watch it kid.
(Petrie) Me sorry.
Littlefoot ran around the place until he stopped in front of a tree and pulled on some leaves that were covered in snow. Making all of it fall onto Cera.
(Cera) I'll get you for that.
Cera chased Littlefoot around to catch him.
(Mario) Hey. Wait for us.
But then they ended up slipping down the slope and onto the Spike-tail Leader.
(Spike-tail leader) Hey. Watch it.
They smiled at their mistake.
Meanwhile, Ducky, Tickles, Spike, and Tippy were throwing more snow balls that were being made by the Yokai.
(Ducky) Keep them coming guys.
But then they ended up getting hit by many snowballs. They looked up at a tree and there was Petrie with Ana, Ptran, and Pip.
(Petrie) Nice shot Pip.
(Pip) Thank you Petrie.
But Ducky, Tickles, Spike, and Tippy ended up throwing more snowballs at the Flyers and made all of them fall to the ground flat on their backs. But that got them to make snow angels.
As for Topps, he was pushing a big snow ball with his head. And then it rolled down the hill.
(Topps) Hey Longneck. Here it comes.
The snow ball then went up Grandpa Longneck's tail and all the way to his head with a splat.
It seemed that everyone was having a good time. But Mr. Thicknose didn't join in on the fun. He just stood there watching everyone having fun. Just then tickles came in with a snow contract while blowing a snow medieval horn.
(Tickles) I hereby propose that an idea has come to me. We declare a team snow war. Me, Littlefoot and our friends will be on this team called team mushroom. While the yokai will be on the other side called team Yokai.
(USApyon) Okay that's a deal.
(Wario) It's settled then. Let's prepare for a snow war. But first please sign here if you are about to suffer from major injuries, ptsd, or anything else.
The Yokai then signed the snow contract.
(Wario) Thank you. Now build your forts
The two teams built their forts and lucky for them there was a lot of snow for them. The first one was done and it looks like peach's castle.
(Littlefoot) You made our fort look like the castle?
(Mario) Yeah. I pictured it. So their fort is a Watch?
(Jibanyan) It's a Yokai Watch.
(Mario) Well that forts good well we better get going.
Jibanyan shoots a snow arrow at them.
(Jibanyan) Dang it. I missed
Ducky, Tickles, Spike, and Tippy saw they were doing and they were furious.
(Tickles) If that's how you wanna play it? my answer is bring it on!
(Fuu 2) It's your funeral.
Jibanyan builds an army of knights.
(Jibanyan) Hah, you'll never defeat my knights.
(Daisy) Wanna bet?
Daisy built a snow catapult.
(Jibanyan) No no no no no.
Spike eats the catapult rope. The Yokai screams as the sand rocks from their catapult hurl toward him, destroying Jibanyans army. Petrie laughs and blows another horn. The team's army emerges from his castle and charges towards the yokai. They scream again. The team's army starts to ram down the door to their castle. Komasan panics and builds a cannon. The teams army breaks the door
(Jibanyan) Oh hello. And Goodbye.
Jibanyan pulls the cannon's string. The teams army rushes in his castle away from the cannonball
(Mario) Come on.
Mario closes the door to his castle
(Mario) How did ya like them apples?
Cannonball goes over the wall and destroys the army
(Jibanyan) Ha Ha Ha. You'll never defeat our fort. Do you hear us?!
The gang went inside the snow castle and a high tech screen came up.
(Mario) Uh huh... mm hmm. Well put, general! We'll create a surprise military diversion and break through enemy lines. What say you?
Snow constructed general starts to fall apart
(Mario) Yes! Army We ready ourselves immediately! Get the castle on its feet
(All) Yes Sir.
The gang went to battle stations and the snow castle was a giant robot.
(Daisy) How do you like us now?
The Yokai Watch fort was also the same thing.
(Jibanyan) I like you this much. So feel the wrath of our robot.
The snow robots started battling for a while and after an hour the yokai's robot started to feel weak and Spike delivered the final blow with one punch and yokai fell out of the robot and the robot turned back into the castle from the snow pieces. Just then they saw them lying there in shock.
(Peach) Guys. Are you all okay?!
(USApyon) But the question is... Will all of you be?!
USApyon pressed a snow button and snow planes came out and grabbed them and the yokai were on it. Suddenly they slipped out and started falling then they had snow parachutes and they landed safely to the ground.
(Komajiro) Hey. That's not fair
(Tickles) All's fair in war my friend slash enemy. Or should I say my frenemy. So let's have some real fun.
Tickles pressed a snow button and the same thing happened so they started flying towards them. And the chase beings.
(USApyon) Oh yeah? Two can play at this game.
USApyon pushed the button and missiles came out and flew straight towards them.
(Mario) Mama Mia. We got missiles coming up ahead.
The gang flew away from the missiles and they followed them and landed straight toward their fort. They all laughed.
(Jibanyan) Oh we are not gonna do this. But you leave us no choice.
They flew straight towards their castle and dropped a bomb and the fort blew up and now they were furious and flew straight towards them. As they laughed they noticed that the others were flying towards them and they all exploded. And they fell straight down onto the floor. Lucky for them it was just like a pillow.
(Mario) Alright. Can we stop with this game? It's getting out of hand.
(Jibanyan) Alright truce?
(Mario) Truce.
Mario and Jibanyan shake hands and walked straight to Ducky, Tickles, Spike & Tippy
(Jibanyan) Hey guys. I'm about what happened we didn't listen to you while we were sleeping so truce?
But they didn't buy it.
(Tickles) I'm sorry. But that's not happening.
Tickles arms a snow gun
(Jibanyan) What's that?
(Tickles) A snow shock rifle
The Yokai run as Tickles shoots in their direction
(USApyon) What are we gonna do?! He's got lasers!
(Jibanyan) Maybe, but we have a laser gun.
USApyon fired his laser gun but missed them and hitted that tree
(USApyon) Whoops.
The Yokai start running again
(Ducky) You think you can outrun us? Well, try to outrun my portal gun. [Makes the wrong snow gun] Darn, missed it. Gotta cycle through again.
Ducky switches to his snow portal gun, then shoots a portal above Jibanyan and another one underneath him, causing him to fall through an infinite loop
(Jibanyan) Guys!
They fight for the gun, sending Jibanyan flying in various directions until he bumps into them
(Komasan) Quick! Our snow fort is only halfway!
(Tickles) It'll look much further after I've used my snow shrink gun.
Tickles shoots, causing the yokai to scream as they shrink. the others then prepares to stomp them, but is interrupted by a confused Petrie
(Petrie) What are you doing?
Cut to reality, where the yokai have not really been shrunken by the snow shrink gun.
(Jibanyan) [High-pitched voice] Ducky, Tickles, and Spike are mad at us of what happened and Tickles shrunk us with a snow shrink gun because we were go get to safety. Help us!
(Petrie) Uh. You know you can make your snow weapons right?
(Jibanyan) [Normal voice] Right. We can make any snow weapon we want as well!
They run again.
(Jibanyan) Komasan, quick! make something awesome!
(Komasan) Huh...aha! [Holds up a snow object in the air]
(Jibanyan) What is it?
(Komasan) Ice Cream.
A laser beam shot by Tickles grazes the yokai
(Jibanyan) USApyon. You're gonna need to make something much bigger.
USApyon throws an snow object at Ducky, Tickles, Spike and Tippy, crushing them
(Jibanyan) What was that?
(USApyon) A snow Space Ship.
(Jibanyan) Ouch.
Ducky, Tickles, Spike, and Tippy catches up with The Yokai, who readied their snow guns
(Tickles) No... How did you get the snow flak cannon, the snow railgun, the snow AK-47, and the snow Winchester M1912?
(Jibanyan) The question is: how are you gonna survive them?
The Yokai fire at Ducky, Tickles, Spike, and Tippy in slow motion, "killing" them. They then slowly approach a "dying" Ducky, Tickles, Spike, and Tippy.
(Tickles) Come closer. Closer...
Ducky places something in Jibanyan's hand
(Jibanyan) What is it?
(Ducky) Pin.
(Jibanayn) Pin for what?
(Tickles) Snow grenade.
Tickles holds up a snow grenade; The Yokai attempt to run away, but they are caught in the snow explosion. Then Mario came in and walked to Jibanyan
(Mario) Okay. Now Truce?
(Jibanyan) Truce.
They were about to shake hand but there was a snow bomb under them.
(Mario) GET DOWN!
They ran for their lives then it exploded and they landed into their destroyed snow fort. Then the Yokai built snow guns and fired snow bullets at them.
(Petrie) AHH! SNOW BULLETS!
(Mario) We're pinned down man. It's a snow massacre out there.
(Luigi) We're all gonna die. But it's snow which means we're okay and we won't have PTSD but we're gonna die.
Jibanyan there a snow grenade and it land to them
(Mario) Snow Grenade in the hole!
It exploded and their fort was destroyed but it came together again then Mario had an idea.
(Mario) Okay everybody. We need to stop this at once. If it's our lives of snow or anything else we must do it. Let's go
They all charged and snowball missiles were coming toward them; They dodged them but one was heading towards Peach.
(Toad) Princess
Toad got hit with a snowball and toadette came in.
(Toadette) Toad. Are you okay
(Toad) I'm hit. Go on with me.
Then toad pretends to die.
(Toad) Pretty dramatic right?
(Toadette) NOT REALLY!
Then Toadette got hit as well as peach and daisy then the others got hit.
(Luigi) Come on Brother we can make it.
(Mario) No luigi. It looks like we can't make it out in one piece. Please end this so we can get back to what we're doing.
Then Mario and the others pretend to die. While Luigi, Ducky, Tickles, Spike, and Tippy tried to stop them. Then they were surrounded.
(Jibanyan) Don't move. We're winning this thing.
(Luigi) Well think again.
Luigi pressed the button and a plane came with a snow technical nuke attached.
(USApyon) You wouldn't
(Luigi) We would
Luigi pressed the button and it started to fall and petrie came up to the tree and started to imitate the warning
(Petrie) Snow Nuke incoming. 10. 9. 8. 7.
(Jibanyan) Abort mission!
(Petrie) 6. 5. 4.
(Jibanyan) Abort! Abort!
(Petrie) 3. 2. 1.
Then the snow nuke exploded and snow was everywhere then the others saw what happened.
(Specs) I knew they sacrificed their lives for this.
(Headphones) It's very brave of them.
Everyone did a soldier pose and they came out of the snow.
(Mario) Well that was fun while it lasted.
(Luigi) I'm gonna have PTSD from this.
(Mama Flyer) Well, time to head for the nest.
(Littlefoot and Cera) Aw.
(Mario) Well, now might be a good time to start gathering up some food until Spring.
(Mama Flyer) Relax Mario. The snow will melt by tomorrow.
(Mario) Well don't come running to me if the snow kills all the food.
Ducky, Tickles, Spike, and Tippy were on their way back to the nest as well.
(Ducky) Today was fun. Yep, yep, yep.
However, The Yokai was looking at Tippy's mother.
(Mama Swimmer) Guys. If you like to stay another day, that's okay.
The Yokai did want to stay another day. So they went to Tippy's mother who just heard what they were talking about.
(Tippy's mother) Well come one kids. Let's go home.
With that, they went back to rejoin the Far Walkers. Making Ducky, Tickles, and Spike even more mad at them.
Littlefoot and Grandpa Longneck took one last look at the snow before getting ready for bed.
(Littlefoot) I like the snow. Don't you Grandpa?
(Grandpa Longneck) I do Littlefoot.
With that, the 2 went back to the nest and went to sleep.
Chapter 6: Family
Mr. Thicknose's theory about the snow melting the next morning was proven wrong. A blizzard had just struck the entire Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom and killed all the plant life. All the dinosaurs were suffering in the cold as they searched for any signs of food. Some of them were even struggling all over the place.
As for Littlefoot and his grandparents, along with Mario and his friends, the snow was everywhere for them.
(Grandpa Longneck) Do you still like the snow Littlefoot.
(Littlefoot) Maybe not as much as I thought.
However, there were still some tree stars left and one tree had a single tree star left. Grandpa Longneck was lucky enough to see it.
(Grandpa Longneck) Hold on Littlefoot. I think I see something you will like.
Grandpa longneck tried to grab the leaf, but the wind blew it out of the tree. The leaf flew around the air until it landed a few feet away from where Mr. Thicknose was standing. He was about to eat it, until Topps came by and stomped on it really hard that it got smashed.
(Mr. Thicknose) What did you do that for? I'm hungry.
(Topps) So what? We're all hungry. And if you ask me, almost all the food in the valley is gone. And all of this is your fault.
(Mr. Thicknose) How's this my fault?
Yet, Littlefoot, Grandpa Longneck, Mario, his friends, and a copple other dinosaurs and even Kosh was there and some of them were mad at Mr. Thicknose.
(Topps) If you are so smart, why didn't you think that the snow would bring such cold with them that they killed all the food?
(Kosh) Luigi warned us to store away some food until the cold time ends. We would have been ready to survive this cold with enough. But no. We just had to believe you. If you ask me, Luigi is smarter than you.
Luigi gasped at what he just heard as most of the other dinosaurs agreed with Kosh. If they think that Luigi was smarter, then that means he had completely robbed Mr. Thicknose of his dignity.
(?) And that's why we decided to leave.
Everyone turned around and saw the Far Walkers heading their way.
(Topps) Now don't get me wrong. Just because I was yelling at him
(Tippy's mother) We know. But we're Far Walkers. We're used to wandering around to places.
(Spike-tail leader) And we'll be gone tomorrow before the Bright Circle is high in the sky.
The next day, Petrie went to Ducky's nest to tell her that the Far Walkers were about to leave. Petrie landed in front of Ducky to tell her the news.
(Petrie) Hey. You hear big news? Far Walkers leaving The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom.
Ducky got so happy on hearing this that she hugged Petrie tietly.
(Ducky) Yes, yes, yes.
Tickles had already heard the news from Mario. And he was happy to see them leave as well.
Later, the Far Walkers were passing by the nest. Tippy and her mother were the last in the line. By the time they got close to Spike, Tippy looked at him with a sad look on her face. And so did her mother.
(Tippy's mother) Mr. Swimmer. Do you think that Spike would...well.
(Papa Swimmer) I don't know. We're his family. But I'll ask him.
Papa Swimmer then looked at the Yokai and he was wanting to see this world more often.
(Papa Swimmer) Yokai. Do you want to go with them? We'll understand if you do.
The Yokai wanted to go back to their world. But that means he had to go with them. But they also didn't want to leave this world. But Ducky, Tickles, and Spike were mad again and started to shout.
(Tickles) IF IT'S SO HARD TO PICK!
(Ducky) THEN WE WILL DO IT FOR YOU!
(Ducky and Tickles) GO, GO, GO!
Spike nods in agreement
But the yokai were just standing there so Spike barked at them for saying Go.
(Jibanyan) Okay. We'll Go.
The Yokai then began to head back to their world while Tippy and her mother to The Mysterious Beyond. Tippy's mother took one last look at Papa Swimmer before going. Komasan looked back as well.
(Komasan) Wait. You guys will change your mind right?
Spike just stuck out his tongue out and blew a raspberry
(Komasan) I'll take that as a maybe.
(Tippy's mother) We'll have him back when the snow is all gone.
With that, the Far Walkers and Spike had left. And now Ducky, Tickles and Spike are upset that the Yokai are leaving.
(Papa Swimmer) Are you alright young ones?
(Ducky) No. We are not ok.
(Tickles) What is a family without the Yokai?
The 2 then began to sing a song that came into their heads.
(Ducky) Is it someone who looks like us?
(Tickles) Is it someone who acts like us?
(Ducky and Tickles) Is it someone who sleeps beside us in the nest?
(Tickles) Is it someone who speaks like us?
(Ducky) Has a tail or beak like us?
(Ducky and Tickles) Or is it someone that we like the best?
Papa Swimmer can see the sad expression with the 2 and begins to sing the same song.
(Papa Swimmer) I think family, family, is more than being friends. When you're family, family, the loving never ends.
The rest of the gang had also seen The Yokai leaving the valley. And they weren't too far away from the nest.
(Littlefoot) I can't believe that the Yokai is really leaving.
(Mario) They are good friends and mysterious creatures.
(Peach) I'm really gonna miss them.
(Petrie) Me miss them too.
(Cera) Maybe he wants to go with them. After all, we're not his family.
(Mario) In case you forgot Cera, we're a herd and herd means family.
(Cera) But we're not his real family.
They then began to sing the same song but in a different way.
(Cera) He doesn't look like us. He doesn't eat like us.
(Littlefoot) Yes but he still likes to play the way we do.
(Petrie) He doesn't walk like us. He doesn't talk at all.
(Peach) But just think of all the things we've been through.
(Mario) He's family, family. Though he may go away.
(Luigi) He has always been family.
(Petrie) And family he'll stay.
(Ducky) I guess someone that you like can make you angry.
(Papa Swimmer) That's something that we have to rize about.
(Tickles) Though families are different. One thing stays the same.
(Papa Swimmer) And the heart of every family is love. And a family, family, is something strong inside. You will always be part of his family.
(Ducky and Tickles) And he will always be a very, very big part of our family.
And now the song has ended. Ducky, Tickles, and Spike went to the river next to the nest while the rest of the gang went on their way.
(Cera) How Long do you think the Yokai will be gone?
(Mario) We might not get to see them again until they decide to come back.
Chapter 7: Two different search parties
After the Yokai had left with the far walkers, Ducky, Tickles, and Spike just sat on a rock in front of the pond. Papa Swimmer was trying to cheer them up.
(Papa Swimmer) They need to be with their own kind. They never had a chance to interact with you.
(Ducky and Tickles) We know.
(Papa Swimmer) They also need more food than we do.
(Ducky and Tickles) We know.
(Papa Swimmer) And it's clear that Yokai live in the real world.
(Ducky and Tickles) We know. Okay? We know.
(Papa Swimmer) Children.
(Ducky) We are sorry Papa.
(Tickles) We just miss the Yokai so much.
Spike nods in agreement
(Papa Swimmer) I'm sure you do.
But then, Ducky, Tickles, and Spike thought of something. They whispered about it and then turned to Papa Swimmer.
(Ducky) Papa. We promised Mr. Thicknose that we would meet up with him one last time.
(Tickles) Is it alright for us to go?
(Papa Swimmer) Have fun.
Papa Swimmer then went back to the nest. But he didn't know where Ducky, Tickles, and Spike were really going.
The rest of the gang were making snowballs and pushing them together to make a snowman.
(Petrie) Me sure gonna miss the Yokai.
(Mario) We all miss them.
(Cera) Ah who cares? It'll be long before we even forget what he looks like.
But then the gang saw that their snowman ended up being a snow version of the yokai.
(Cera) Or maybe not. I guess we all miss him a lot.
(?) Guys.
The gang turned around and saw Papa Swimmer coming their way.
(Petrie) Hello Ducky's dad.
(Papa Swimmer) Have you seen Ducky, Tickles, and Spike?
(Littlefoot) No. We haven't.
(Papa Swimmer) I'm so happy that you children were meeting up with Mr. Thicknose today. It's given them something to think about besides the Yokai.
The gang were confused. They weren't really meeting up with Mr. Thicknose today. Papa Swimmer then looked at the snow version of the Yokai.
(Papa Swimmer) We miss them too. Don't you?
(Daisy) We sure do.
(Papa Swimmer) Ducky, Tickles, and Spike might already be waiting back at the nest. See you later guys.
Papa Swimmer then walked back to the nest.
(Cera) Why did Ducky, Tickles, and Spike tell Mr. Swimmer we were meeting with Thicknose?
(Littlefoot) I don't know. Maybe they wanted to meet up with him.
(Mario) Or maybe they didn't want anyone to know where they're really going.
(Petrie) And where that be?
(Mario) I bet I know.
Ducky, Tickles, and Spike were walking to the exit of The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom. Following the Spike-tail footprints.
(Ducky) I did not think Spike-tails could walk so fast.
(Tickles) Me nether. But we have to find them and tell them we're sorry.
The 3 went on and began the search for the yokai. And maybe some food as well.
The gang were following Ducky, Tickles, and Spike's footprints to find them.
(Cera) Why don't we just tell their dad where they went?
(Mario) If we do, they'll think we're making it up. And besides, there's no use of getting him worried.
The gang walked up a small hill to find more footprints. But then it started to rumble.
(Luigi) Earthquake.
But then the hill moved out of the ground and made Koopa Troopa fall onto his back. Then all the snow on the hill fell off of it. And it was revealed that it wasn't a hill. It was Mr. Thicknose.
(Mario) Mr. Thicknose. What are you doing here?
(Mr. Thicknose) Please Mario. No more questions.
Mario didn't know what to say now. So he just went on with the hunt.
(Mario) Then I guess we'll see you later.
Mr. Thicknose watched the gang walking to the valley exit.
(Yoshi) Yoshi Yoshi (There's the footprints.)
(Littlefoot) Looks like Ducky, Tickles, and Spike followed them out of the valley.
Mr. Thicknose knew what they were about to do. They were gonna follow the Spike-tail footprints.
(Mr. Thicknose) Guys.
The gang stopped and turned around to look at Mr. Thicknose.
(Mr. Thicknose) Am I correct in that all of you are going out into The Mysterious Beyond without your parents or Toadsworth's promiston?
(Cera) No.
(Petrie) Yes.
(Mario) Maybe.
Mr. Thicknose looked at them as if he wanted to know the truth.
(Cera) Okay. Yes. But we have to. Ducky, Tickles, and Spike are out there somewhere.
(Mr. Thicknose) I completely can not allow that. If your families found out that I let you leave the valley unsupervised, I can never show my face in this place ever again. There for...I'm coming with you.
(Daisy) Say what?
Meanwhile, with the Far Walkers.
(Spike-tail leader) Be careful. It's slippery here.
The Yokai knew they weren't ready to leave yet. But they never had a chance to be around other Spike-tails. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. They took one last look at The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom before moving on. Tippy watched him and she understood how sad he was.
(Tippy's mother) Jibanyan. Komasan. Komajiro. USApyon. Don't lag.
They understood and ran to catch up with the herd. But then they slipped and bumped into Tippy's mother and made her fall over and slide. She then ended up hitting other members of the herd and they also ended up sliding down the mountain. And then all the Far Walkers found themselves bumping into each other and sliding down the slope.
(Spike-tail Leader) What in the world is going on back there?
But then the leader saw what was happening. Before he could move, he had also gotten hit and slid down the slope.
Finally, all the sliding came to a stop with the yokai and Tippy in the front of the herd. Jibanyan looked back at the herd and saw all of the Spike-tail growing in pain. Jibanyan began to feel guilty for causing all that.
(Spike-tail Leader) Hey. Don't feel too guilty. It was kind of fun.
(Tippy) Fun, fun, fun.
The yokai still felt sorry for what they did. But at least they weren't in trouble.
Chapter 8: Found
The gang began to start their search for Ducky, Tickles, and Spike. However, Mr. Thicknose was making sure that he was staying with them.
(Mr. Thicknose) Guys. Can you slow down for a moment? I'm not as young as I used to be.
(Cera) Why do we have to bring him along? Can't he just stay in the valley?
(Mario) If he doesn't come with us, he'll tell Toadsworth and the grown-ups what we're doing. After all, he's the wisest and eldest of us all. He can help us found our way through The Mysterious Beyond.
As the gang kept going, Winston found some more of the footprints. But still no sine of Ducky, Tickles, and Spike
(Littlefoot) They couldn't have gone too far. After all, Spike-tails move very slowly.
(Petrie) Me have an idea. Me fly up and see if me spot Ducky, Tickles, and Spike.
(Mr. Thicknose) I was about to suggest that.
Petrie then flew up into the air to find Ducky, Tickles, and Spike. But as he got higher, the wind started to get stronger. And then his wings started to get frozen.
(Petrie) Wings...too...heavy.
(Luigi) What's wrong with Petrie?
(Peach) Oh no. There's ice on his wings.
Petrie tried to get back to the search, but the wind was too strong. And then he found himself falling.
(All) PETRIE!
(Cera) I can't look.
(Luigi) Me nether.
Petrie was falling really fast. He had to get back under control before he hit the ground. He then flapped his wings and tried to fly again. But he ended up hitting snow on the side of the mountain. But he was alright.
(Mario) He made it.
The others looked. Petrie was alright and nothing went wrong.
But then, sodenly. Everyone heard a rumbling sound. And it wasn't an earthquake.
(Mario) Uh oh. I know that sound.
And then, snow started to fall off the mountain. Everyone ran as fast as they could. Until Littlefoot, Mario, Cera, and the rest got hit by the sliding snow and were pushed to the ledge. But before they ended up falling off, the snow came to a stop.
(Cera) Whoa. That was close.
Petrie and Luigi plopped out of the snow shaking their heads. While Mr. Thicknose got up with only his head out of the snow.
(Mr. Thicknose) guys.
(Mario) We're alright. But we have a problem.
Everyone looked back at the path they came from. The snow had blocked it up. And it was the only way back into the valley.
(Cera) Great. Now we're trapped out here.
(Littlefoot) And so are Ducky, Tickles, and Spike.
The Far Walkers continued making their way through the snow. And still they found no food.
Komasan was getting upset. There was still no food and he was starting to miss his friends and family.
(?) Guys!
That voice sounded like Ducky. But could it be...? No. It can't be her.
(?) Guys!
Komasan was also hearing Tickles' voice. But he, Ducky, and Spike would never come this far. Was he only missing them too much? Maybe that's why he's hearing things.
(Ducky) We can just say that it is alright. And maybe they will come back with us.
(Tickles) But what if he won't forgive us?
(Ducky) Then we can just say that we forgive him. Yep, yep, yep.
Spike licks Ducky from her comment
(Tickles) Good thing Spike-tail footprints are easy to follow.
They continued their search. Jumping from foot print to foot print. Until they both jumped into a big one. It was a Sharp-tooth footprint.
(Ducky) That is not a Spike-tail foot hole. I hope whatever Sharp-tooth made this just kept on walking.
(Tickles) Me too.
(Ducky) GUYS! (echoing) guys, guys, guys.
(Tickles) Hey. An echo. GUYS! (Echoing) Guys, Guys, Guys.
They then went on. Until they heard bigger footsteps.
(Ducky) Even our walking has an echo.
But then the footsteps got louder. And louder. Then they looked. The Sharp-tooth that made the footprint has come back.
(Ducky, Tickles, and Spike) AAAAAAHHHHHH!
They ran under the Sharp-tooth before he could even grab them. But he knew who they were. He wasn't gonna let them get away.
(Mr. Thicknose) Look at those rock formations. I've never seen anything like them.
Upon hearing this, the gang stopped and looked at Mr. Thicknose.
(Luigi) You haven't?
(Cera) Is this your first trip out into The Mysterious Beyond?
(Mr. Thicknose) Well
Before he could finish, everyone heard screaming. The gang and Mr. Thicknose then saw Ducky, Tickles, and Spike coming their way.
(Mountain Sharp-tooth) I knew that it was the swimmer with those guys who defeated Sharptooth. This is my only chance.
Mario didn't have time to get everyone to understand what the Sharp-tooth was saying. He had to run before he got bitten.
The gang ran up the mountain. As they did so, Cera saw snowballs rolling down the hill. That gave her an idea.
Mr. Thicknose was face to face with the Sharp-tooth. Even with the strength from his nose, he knew he wouldn't have any effect on the Sharp-tooth.
Before anyone could attack, a snowball came and shot the Sharp-tooth on his nose. He then looked at the top of the hill and saw the gang making a big snowball.
(Littlefoot) Hey ugly. Wanna play?
(Mario) It's on you Wario.
Wario then pushed the snowball down the hill and it rolled all the way to the Sharp-tooth.
(Mario) Mr. Thicknose. Get out of the way.
Mr. Thicknose didn't know what Mario was talking about. But then he saw the snowball and knew what it ment. He then moved out of the way and the snowball slammed onto the Sharp-tooth and made him hit his back on a rock and KO him.
(Mario) There. We better go. He won't stay down forever.
Ducky, Tickles, and Spike were happy to see the rest of the gang all the way out here.
(Ducky) Oh I am happy to see you guys.
(Tickles) Me too. We're happy to see all of you.
Spike licks Littlefoot that he's happy to see them to But, then they were looking at Cera and Daisy with mad looks on their faces.
(Ducky) Except you 2. This is all your fault.
(Tickles) You 2 told us to get mad at the yokai and now look at what happened.
Spike nods in agreement
(Daisy) Our fault. It's you 3 who started it.
(Ducky and Tickles) WHAT?!
(Cera) Yeah. We saw the whole thing. You are really bad at being mad.
That got them to put on space suits that look just like USApyon's
(Mario) What are you wearing?
(Ducky) These are spacesuits that USApyon gave us.
(Daisy) Space suits? In the winter?
The 2 laughed at that one.
(Cera) That's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard.
(Tickles) It's not ridiculous.
But the 2 didn't listen. They just made fun of that.
(Daisy) And it looks like USApyons's. Man you guys really do like the yokai.
(Ducky) What?!
(Daisy) I better draw what you look like. You have a depressing look on you guys.
(Tickles) What?!
(Cera) And they wear a damp shirt.
(Spike) Huh?!
(Daisy) Okay here's the final image.
The image looks like the mascot for Hailey Annes website
(Cera) Okay. Now that's funny.
They laughed at the image. Then Ducky, Tickles, and Spike snapped in rage.
(Ducky, Tickles, and Spike) WHY YOU TWO!
They pressed and held both gray buttons on the cheek area on their helmet which caused a black glass plate to flip over their face, black smoke filled their helmet, and their eyes turned red.
(Computer) INVADER MODE.
Then they took out their blasters which are shaped of what they liked and carelessly shoot multiple red beams and started chasing them while throwing a temper tantrum. Then Cera and Daisy dodged the lasers.
(Cera) Sorry. Sorry. We didn't tell you to get mad.
(Daisy) We only told you to express your feelings.
Ducky, Tickles, and Spike then calmed down and their invader mode went off.
(Ducky) And our feelings were mad. We do not like being mad.
(Tickles) And we don't want to get mad at you guys too. And now we're all lost out here. But at least we have Mr. Thicknose to help us find our way back.
Spike nods in agreement.
Then they took off the spacesuits
(Mr. Thicknose) Yes. Well. I uhh. (Sigh) I think the time has come for me to confess. My times outside The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom is far less than what I had you believe.
(Peach) What? How many times have you been out here?
(Mr. Thicknose) Counting this trip? One.
The gang were now shocked. All this time, Mr. Thicknose hadn't left the valley. Especially since it's almost a whole year since they first found the place.
(Luigi) How can things get any worse?
Chapter 9: The Lesson
A blizzard had started. The gang and Mr. Thicknose were now having a hard time making their way up the mountain.
(Cera) You had to ask. Didn't you Luigi?
(Luigi) It's not my fault.
Meanwhile, Back in The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom. Papa Swimmer was talking to Littlefoot's Grandparents and asked if they saw Ducky, Tickles, and Spike anywhere.
(Grandma Longneck) No. We haven't seen them.
(Papa Swimmer) I hope they didn't go too far in weather like this.
Mama Flyer was also struggling through winds and couldn't find Petrie anywhere.
(Mama Flyer) Petrie. PETRIE WHERE ARE YOU?!
The rest of Mario's friends were also having a hard time finding them.
(Headphones) They couldn't have gotten in trouble again. Did they?
(Goggles) You know them. They always go out and get themselves into danger.
And even Topps couldn't find Cera anywhere. And Littlefoot's grandparents also couldn't find him ether
(Topps) Cera. CERA!
(Grandpa Longneck) Littlefoot. Where are you?
The gang and Mr. Thicknose had finally gotten out of the cold winds. But now they were lost.
(Peach) I'm glad we finally got out of that blizzard.
(Yoshi) Yoshi Yoshi (I'm really hungry.)
(Mr. Thicknose) And thirsty. Boy I could go for some water right about now.
(Tickles) Look. Water.
Tickles was right. There was indeed a lake at the bottom of the slope. He then ran to it and tried to get a drink. But instead, he ended up hitting his head on it.
(Tickles) Aw man. It's ice.
Just as Spike heard that he found a geyser which was made out of ice and licked it but his tongue got stuck and he howled for help.
(Ducky) Spike! Oh No his tongues stuck on ice
(Petrie) Spike tongue on ice. Me need to see if this works
Petrie began to lick it and his tongue got stuck as well
(Petrie) Help. Me got my tongue stuck.
The others came to help
(Mario) Okay. Guys don't panic and pull it out it could hurt.
They did what Mario told them to do.
(Petrie) You have plan Mario?
(Mario) Don't worry I've got this.
Mario then used a fire flower and threw a fireball at the ice geyser and Spike and Petrie's tongues were free and Spike rubbed his tongue with tail while Petrie uses hold his tongue with his hands.
(Petrie) Thanks Mario. But Petrie's tongue hurts so bad
Spike whined and nodded in agreement
(Mario) Alright now. Let me see
Mario got a magnifying glass and looked at Spikes tongue.
(Mario) Woah.
(Luigi) What is it?
(Mario) Check it out guys. Spike's tongue is get rid of his old taste buds which is now stuck on the ice geyser and making new ones.
Everyone came to check it out even spike was amazed
(Mario) Spike, Petrie. I think you guys are gonna be fine. They'll heal on their own. So let me see the ice.
The rest of the gang and Mr. Thicknose came by and saw Tickles standing on the frozen water.
(Petrie) Hey. That same ice that got on me wings.
Mr. Thicknose was starting to lose hope. Until he stepped onto the ice and slipped and slid on it.
(Mario) Mr. Thicknose. Come back.
But then everyone else slipped onto the ice and slid on it as well. Passing many rocks and other obstacles.
(Daisy) No ice skates. Can't control my sel-el-el-el-el-elf.
(All) AAAAAAHHHHHH!
Ducky, Petrie, Tickles, and Spike slid all the way to Mr. Thicknose and bumped into him. Making him spin as he came to a stop. When the spinning stopped, the ice under Mr. Thicknose began to crack.
(Mr. Thicknose) That's not good.
And then the ice broke and they fell into a red substance. Winston slid and fell onto Mr. Thicknose and bounced off of him and fell into the red liquid. Everyone also fell into the red stuff with a big SPLASH! But it wasn't cold.
(Cera) Hey. This is really warm. And not deep. I'm standing on the bottom.
(Peach) Me too.
But not Petrie. He was on Mario's head.
(Wario) Even the rocks are warm.
(Mario) I know what this is. It's one of those red hot water springs. They just boil up from underground onto the land. Mr. Thicknose, have you seen anything like...No, I guess not
(Mr. Thicknose) No. But I've heard of them from Far Walkers who passed by The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom. I seem to recall that where there is worm and water, there is a chance that there is
(Cera) Green food.
Cera was right. There was plant life all over the water. And they tasted so good.
(Cera) That was so good.
(Peach) Uh. Mr. Thicknose? I'm sorry to ask this. But how come you tell all those fibs about you being everyone and seeing everything?
Mr. Thicknose Hesitated. But it was best to tell the truth.
(Mr. Thicknose) I've never wanted to become a fibber. It just happened.
Mr. Thicknose then began to sing a song that came into his head.
(Mr. Thicknose) When I was young, I was really shy. Never seen or heard. When a wanderer told of The Great Beyond, I remembered every word. As I grow older, I told those stories as if I lived them to. In everyone's eyes, I was good. I was wise. To everyone. But you. That is why I had such a hard time with you Peach. You're so curious, so great. You ask such good questions, I was afraid that you'll catch me in a lie. Discover my secret.
(Mario) Rob you of your dignity?
(Mr. Thicknose) Yes. I suppose so. You see. Everyone wants to be important. Everyone wants to be heard. Everyone wants to be in the center of the circle. Where friends are hanging on your every word. No matter how close you are to an egg, or how old you grow to be, everybody needs somebody to listen to. Even somebody like me.
It was starting to make sense now. The gang started to sing the same song.
(Peach) Everyone wants to be respected.
(Petrie) Everyone wants to be liked.
(Mr. Thicknose) Whether you got 3 horns on your head.
(Cera) Or a beak that's sharp.
(Ducky) Or a tail that's spiked.
(Mr. Thicknose) When you want to be more fascinating, you might say things that aren't quite true. Everyone's tempted to fib sometimes.
(Littlefoot) Even some good like you.
(All) We want folks to admire us. We want someone who cares.
(Luigi) We want to make a difference.
(Mario) And to know that others are somewhere there.
(Mr. Thicknose) But everyone has their own importance. That's what I've come to see. Everyone has their own special place.
(Petrie) In the nest.
(Tickles) In the herd.
(Mario) In the family.
(Mr. Thicknose) Repekt's not a thing you can make someone give you. It's something you have to earn. Who would have thought after all this time? There were more things I had to learn. And thank you all for teaching me. You're never too old to learn.
And that's when the song ended. Now everyone knows the truth about Mr. Thicknose. But you can never be too old to learn like he said.
(Littlefoot) I wish Grandma and Grandpa were here.
(Cera) My dad would like this place to.
(Peach) You know, there should be just enough plants to last you guys until the snow melts.
(Littlefoot) But what about the entrance to the valley?
(Cera) It's all blocked up, thanks to Petrie.
(Ducky) The grown-ups and the rest of Mario's friends are all trapped inside. And we are out here.
(Tickles) And lost.
(Mr. Thicknose) No. Not lost. Look.
Everyone looked at what Mr. Thicknose was talking about. It was another mountain.
(Mr. Thicknose) I seem to recall that mountain that was described by many Far Walkers. The valley is on the other side of that mountain.
(Mario) Then that's where we are going.
(Mr. Thicknose) What? We can't. There's no way we can climb something like that. Can we?
(Mario) it looks hard. But we have to try.
So then they made their way to the mountain.
Chapter 10: Herd still means Family
The Far Walkers were starting to give up. No matter where they looked, no food could be found anywhere. The snow had got the best of them.
(Spike-tail Leader) That's it. After that storm I'm completely lost.
Tippy had also lost hope. She began to cry, sensing it was all over for them now. But her mother hasn't lost hope yet.
(Tippy's mother) Oh don't cry Tippy. We'll find more food.
But then she heard Jibanyan sniffing as if he was crying too.
(Tippy's mother) Oh not you too Jibanyan.
But as she got closer to him, she saw that Jibanyan wasn't crying at all. He was sniffing as if he was smelling something.
(Tippy's mother) Jibanyan? Do you smell something?
(Jibanyan) I do smell something. I smell Choco Bars.
(Tippy's mother) Hey everyone. Jibanyan knows where to go. I say we follow him.
(Spike-tail Leader) Follow him? He's just a Yokai.
(Tippy's mother) Not just a Yokai. He told me he got hit by a truck and now he's training himself for amy.
Upon hearing that, the herd got their hope back and were shocked but also happy to see one of
them.
(Spike-tail Leader) Well what are you waiting for Jibanyan? Lead the way.
(Jibanyan) Alright then follow me.
Jibanyan did as he was told and led the herd to where his smell was leading.
As the gang got closer to the top of the mountain, Mr. Thicknose was starting to get tired from all that walking.
(Mr. Thicknose) Guys. I don't think I can make it. Go on without me.
(Mario) Don't say that Mr. Thicknose. We've already gone through worse times than this. I'm sure you can make it to the top.
(Mr. Thicknose) I'm only slowing you down. Just leave me here. I can't make it.
But as Mr. Thicknose looked back, he saw something coming. Something bad and big. It was the Sharp-tooth they've encountered when they found Ducky, Tickles, and Spike.
(Mr. Thicknose) Of course, I might be wrong.
The gang looked back and saw the Sharp-tooth coming their way. Looking for revenge on them and still wanting to catch them.
(Mountain Sharp-tooth) You thought that frozen rock can stop me huh?! Well now it's pay back time.
They ran as fast as they could up the slope. But the Sharp-tooth was faster. As Mr. Thicknose got to the top, he slid to a stop and realized something.
(Mr. Thicknose) What am I doing? I should be protecting these young ones. Not running like a niddy.
Mr. Thicknsoe looked back to find a way to take down the Sharp-tooth. While he was looking, he saw Luigi slip and slide down until Mario grabbed his arm and placed him with her on Cera's back. Then he saw Yoshi and Littlefoot trying to push a tree down to attack the Sharp-tooth, but it was too big for both of them.
(Mr. Thicknose) Make way guys!
Littlefoot and Yoshi stopped pushing and saw Mr. Thicknose ran to the tree and then he used his nose to knock the tree out of the ground and rolled to the Sharp-tooth. The log ended up under his foot, making him fall backwards and slid down the slope until he slipped off a ledge and fell off the mountain and then landed on the ground with a big THUD!
(Petrie) Oh. That gotta hurt.
(Littlefoot) Mr. Thicknose. Thank you.
(Mr. Thicknose) Don't mention it. We own that Sharp-tooth our thanks as well. He gave me just the boost I needed to get to the top.
The gang was shocked at what Mr. Thicknose just said. But snapped out of it when he saw a rock bridge up ahead.
(Mr. Thicknose) We're going the right way. The Great Valley is just beyond that rock bridge.
Later, after a long walk. They had finally made it back to the valley. Snow was still blocking the entrance to the valley. And the gang and the grown-ups and the rest of Mario's friends gathered in a circle.
(Mario) now we just have to find a way to unblock the entrance.
(Petrie) Me no want to hit snow again.
(Ducky) Maybe you won't have to.
Everyone but Tickles and Spike looked at Ducky confused.
(Tickles) If we all yell loud enough, it'll make that snow fall off and open the entrance.
The gang what Ducky and Tickles were talking about. So all of them and Mr. Thicknose started shouting as loud as they could. Doing so got the herd to hear them.
(Grandpa Longneck) Do you hear that? It sounds like Littlefoot.
(Topps) And Cera too.
(Specs) And Mario and the rest.
They stopped shouting to catch their breath. Though their shouting didn't unblock the entrance.
(Luigi) Aw. We're not loud enough.
(Tickles) Be we know someone who is.
(Ducky) Make that 2 someones. Cera, Daisy. Get mad at the snow.
Cera and Daisy knew what Ducky was talking about.
(Cera and Daisy) Okay!
Cera and Daisy then took a deep breath. And then they both screamed really loud at the top of their lungs.
(Topps) Look. Up there.
The herd looked at the mountain and saw the gang with Mr. Thicknose. And all of Cera and Daisy's screaming had worked. All the snow blocking the entrance had fallen. Allowing them to enter the valley.
(5 minutes later)
(Grandma Longneck) You did what?
(Specs) You went where?
(Topps) I knew it! Every time my Cera gets into trouble, it always has something to do with Mario!
(Luigi) Whoa there. Don't blame my brother for this.
(Mario) Yeah. Mr. Thicknose was with us the whole time. After all, he is the wisest of all of us in this valley.
(Topps) Well, that may be. But you still have some explaining to do to the young lady.
(Cera) I know Dad. But wouldn't you want to listen while you eat.
Upon hearing that, all the dinosaurs wanted to hear what Cera ment.
(Topps) Did you say, "eat"?
Later, the gang and Mr. Thicknose led the herd to the red hot water. There was enough food for everyone. And everyone was happy.
(Grandpa Longneck) How are you feeling dear?
(Grandma Longneck) Much better than I have in ages. And it's all thanks to Mario.
(Topps) Yeah. You kids did a very great job. You too Thicknose. And you as well Mario. Welcome to the herd.
(Mario) Thank you.
(Mr. Thicknose) And you have my thanks as well.
As Peach walked by, Mr. Thicknose had something to say to her.
(Mr. Thicknose) Peach. I take back everything I said about Mario. He's such a remarkable hero.
Mario smiled at Mr. Thicknose's comment. But before he could even thank him, he saw that Ducky, Tickles, Spike were in a bad mode.
(Mario) You wish the Yokai was here. Don't you?
(Tickles) We do.
(Mario) Well don't worry. No matter where he is, we're still a herd and herd still means family.
Ducky, Tickles, and Spike felt a little better now. But it still won't be the same without them.
However, they saw a shadow coming to them. As it got closer, Ducky, Tickles, and Spike were in for a surprise. It was them.
(Ducky and Tickles) Guys!
(Yokai) Guys!
(Komasan) I missed you guys.
(Komajiro) We all did.
(USApyon) Oh I feel the same way
(Jibanyan) I knew you guys missed me.
Spike ran to them and gave them a big lick one at a time meaning that he missed them after that he realized his tongue was healed so he showed ducky.
(Spike) Spike. You're tongue's healed. I knew Mario was right
Just as she said that Spike ran up to Mario tackled him on the ground and gave him a series of licks while wagging his tail and Mario laughed.
(Mario) Ha Ha Ha. Spike, stop it. Ha Ha Ha. I know your tongue's healed. Ha Ha Ha. Spike, it tickles. Ha Ha Ha. Also you're welcome and i also love you too. Ha Ha Ha.
Everyone laughed
(Tickles) We missed you too guys.
Spike then ran to Mama and Papa Swimmer who were just as shocked and happy as Ducky and Tickles were.
Around the same time, the Far Walkers came and saw that The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom was also at the water and green food. The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom saw the Far Walkers as well but for Jibanyan he had choco bars for him.
(Topps) Great timing. I looked around and thought we'd see you out here. There should be enough to share.
(Spike-tail Leader) I was about to ask that. And I'm glad there is.
Tippy ran to Spike and the 2 started a game of Tag. Papa Swimmer and Tippy's mother watched them.
(Papa Swimmer) I wondered when I'd see those 2 playing together again.
(Tippy's mother) Yes. it's always a wonderful sight.
But as they got onto the ice, Tippy slipped and slid until she bumped into Spike and made him slide on the ice as well.
(Littlefoot) Spike! Be careful!
As Spike came to a stop. the ice under him cracked and then broke apart as Spike fell back into the water with Jibanyan. But there wasn't any ground under the water.
(Cera) Spike!
(Mario) Oh no! The water's deeper there!
Spike and Jibanyan tried his best to swim back up to the surface. He pushed the ice on top of him until it broke to get to the top. But he couldn't make it back to the solid earth.
(Spike) PAPA!
(Jibanyan) HELP US!
Papa Swimmer gasped. Spike had just said his name. But he didn't have time to react. So he Jumped into the ice as Spike and Jibanyan sank deeper in.
Everyone looked at the 3 holes in the ice. It almost looked like they weren't gonna make it. But at the last moment, Papa Swimmer popped out of the ice with Spike's tail and Jibanyan's tail in his mouth. As the 2 got out of the deep water, Papa Swimmer placed Spike and Jibanyan next to Ducky and Tickles.
(Ducky) Spike. Jibanyan. You are alright. Yes you are.
(Tickles) Papa. You saved him.
(Papa Swimmer) Of course. They're your friends. Just like you.
(Petrie) Me glad you 2 okay.
(Ducky and Tickles) For now on, you all can make all the sleep rumbles you want.
(Komasan) Oh My Swirls. Thank You
Then a light came to them and medals started to appear.
(Mario) Hey. A Yokai Medal.
(Mee 2) Oh. We forgot to give you this.
Mee 2 handed him a watch and a book
(Mario) Hey. It's a Yokai Watch.
(Fuu 2) Yes. It's a watch that you can see other yokai.
(Mario) Thanks.
(Jibanyan) Well we better get back to the real world. Oh and one more thing when you have the yokai watch. Your life will never be the same.
(Mario) Wait what?!
Mario looked at the watch and started to wonder if it's true
(Jibanyan) We better get going. And also you have the yokai medallium. You can keep your medals in there.
So Mario putted the medals in the medallium and started to head back to the castle with his friends.
Final Chapter: A new friend to trust
After they returned home and talked to Toadsworth about what happened, he didn't know what to say. It was a lot of fun. Even with the danger though.
(Toadsworth) Well. You had fun in all that. I can't think of what to say.
(Mario) I'm glad we had fun.
(Luigi) As long as we were careful. I am getting worried about Red Claw and Bowser though. We haven't seen them sense that Stone of Cold Fire incident.
(Mario) I hope he'll go with us on another adventure soon.
(Luigi) Me too.
(Peach) I think so too. But still, we should be on an adventure by the first day of Spring.
Mario nodded and he and his friends headed to their rooms while the others went back to their worlds. And soon the first day of spring will come. Allowing the snow to melt and new life to form and then The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom herd will be able to return where they can all get a good night sleep. Even Ducky, Tickles, and Spike.
The End
