Prologue:
-
Six hundred and sixty six years ago, there was a battle between a demonic void of dark matter called the Big Bad. A battle turned to war, for the creator, they call Little Dreamer, against the mass depressive control, for the Big Bad. The dark cloud caused many to lose hope, as it seemed that the war was about to be lost, and more, and more of Little Dreamer's servants and guardians, called the Moonflowers, began to join the Big Bad, under mind control. This lead to two possibilities. Either a secret project, which would not only destroy the Big Bad, but also Little Dreamer, and the all Non-Moonflowers would be rid of magic, forever, unless a Moonflower proved a miracle.
Thankfully, a miracle did happen. A new Moonflower, named Hanazuki, risk her mind, and went into the Big Bad. Using seed called a gem, which would cause a sacred tree, called a Treasure Tree to bloom and grow, a Moonflower would be able to defend and protect the universe, from the Big Bad. Normally the gems would be able to become trees, based on color and emotion, to grow, YELLOW for HAPPINESS, RED for ANGER, ORANGE for SILLINESS, LIME GREEN for FEAR, GREEN for MELLOW, TEAL for GLAMOUR, BLUE for SADNESS, PINK for LOVE, LAVENDER for INSPIRATION, and PURPLE for COURAGE. Normally they would harm, but never destroy the Big Bad, but Hanazuki not only discover a new seed, RASPBERRY for HOPE, but she planted the tree directly inside the Big Bad, and with the help of her team, destroyed it. Little Dreamer may have disappeared, around the same time, but Hanazuki was known as a hero, in the meantime, and the Moonflowers continued their work, for Little Dreamer, and all he created.

Story:
-
On the six hundred and sixty sixth anniversary of the defeat of the Big Bad, Hanazuki threw an anniversary party, and invited every Moonflower. To the Moonflowers, the day the Big Bad was destroyed was the biggest event of the year. Thousands, were gathered, understanding all that was lost, and all that was gained. It was also a time of rest, really. Everyone has their own way of celebrating it, including attending events, for the occasion.
During this party, Hanazuki was standing, in front of a statue of Little Dreamer, looking around, seeing Moonflowers playing limbo, dancing, making music, sun bathing, spending time with creatures they created, and much more. Kiyoshi walked over to her, and got her attention, noticing that she did not look like her optimistic self. Hanazuki sighed, and turned to look at the statue, before turning back to Kiyoshi. "I never found out what happened to him." He said. "Me neither." She said.
Hanazuki took another look around, while Kiyoshi said something. "I'm surprised you're not attending any of the events. Out of all the Moonflowers, you're normally the life of the party." He said. "Actually, that title goes to Discord." She said, while pointing at a Moonflower, whom was juggling, and balancing on a round boulder. In fact, that Moonflower kept requesting more things to juggle, to which they did, while chanting his name. "Maybe your right, but that's not the point." Kiyoshi said. "I know. I it's just I have all of these responsibilities, and I need time to rest." Hanazuki said. "I see. Things have been the same, after Six hundred and sixty six years." Kiyoshi said, while leaning on the statue.
"Hey dudes." Maroshi said, running towards them. "Kiazuki is about to try out a dance contest, and needs your support." Kiyoshi smiled. "Come on. I know you want to." He said, to Hanazuki. Hanazuki sighed and turned from white to pink. "There's our support, right there." Maroshi said.
-
At the dance floor, Kiazuki was shaking her shoulders, and Miyumi was shaking her arms, legs, and hips doing the twist. Hanazuki, Kiyoshi, and Maroshi finally made it. "You got this!" Maroshi shouted at her. Kiazuki look at them, and sighed. She then started to move her torso side to side. Miyumi then did a jubilation, having her hands up, and feet moving rapidly up and down. Kiazuki then did the floss, moving her arms quickly, in harmony, side to side, one from the front, and one for the back. Soon, Miyumi started shaking her right leg, and swinging her elbows, side to side. Kiazuki straightened her arms out, and turned her head left, and moved her arm in a form of a wave, then she turned her head right, and did the same to the other, then repeated. Finally, Miyumi started dabbling left and right.
When it was over, a walking, talking diamond came on stage. "Greetings, I am Dazzlessence Jones, and I'm here to announce the winner of the match, for this tournament." He said. Before he could announce who the judges picked, Discord came running towards the stage, onto the stage, and straight to Dazzlessence Jones, right when he said, "… and the winner is… ", then Discord warned everyone, before he could finish. "THERE A KILLER UNICORN, ON THE LOOSE, AND HE'S MUTATING EVERYONE!" He yelled. At first the audience laughed, including Maroshi. They thought it was part of the show, but Kiazuki was one of some, to take it seriously. "Really?!" She said. "Every… Single… Moonflower!" Discord shouted. "Everyone or just the Moonflowers?" Miyumi asked. The audience once again laughed. "I think he's being serious, about this." Kiazuki said. "Come on. This is Discord, the jokester." Miyumi said.
"I don't think he's joking." Kiyoshi said. "… but- " Hanazuki said, before being interrupted. "Come on, you two." He said, to her and Maroshi. They exited the crowd, as Jones insisted Discord would get off the stage, pointing out the times he exaggerated the truth, such as when he claimed there was a deadly stampede, when there was really a bunch of harmless Hemkas traveling fast, or the time when Sleepy Unicorn died of poisoning, when it was really because he was sick. Discord pointed out the Emerald colored light in the distance. "Have you forgotten about your emotion color powers?" Jones asked. He pointed out. There were the same colored lights in a few more directions, then told him to get off the stage. "One of my only weaknesses."Discord mumbled. "Fine. Don't believe, but don't say I didn't warn you." He said, as Jones escorted him off.
-
Hanazuki, Kiyoshi, and Maroshi came on stage, right after Jones walked off with Discord. "I think Discord wasn't exaggerating, this time." Kiyoshi said. "I agree. He may be a comedic genius, but this is a whole other level." Kiazuki said. "Please, You don't know what he's really talking about." Miyumi said. "Yeah, how do we know there isn't just a unicorn smack talking, with a group of Moonflowers?" Maroshi asked. "You were corrupted by the Big Bad, it almost corrupted me, it corrupted millions, making them dangerous, … Aaand we're being trapped." Kiyoshi said. That last thing he said, was pointing out that a force field was being created, but by the time he finished, they were already trapped, on the stage.
At that moment, a black unicorn, with a white mane, and a yellow twisted horn, appeared in the audience. He shot a an emerald green lights at the audience, causing the Moonflowers, who weren't in the force field, to mutate, inside and out. Among them was Discord, as he mutated, he said one final thing. "I told you." He said, and just like that, he was mentally gone.
More and more light surrounded the force field, until emerald brightness was all the surviving Moonflowers could see. After nine seconds of pure emerald green light, it vanished, and there stood the unicorn. "Well, well, looks like we have our only chosen witnesses." He said. "Who are you?" Kiazuki ask. "Twisted Unicorn, leader of the unicorn rebellion." He said, before he began to monologue. "You be thinking, why am I doing this, or make me stop. Well, I won't. Everyone kept under estimate themselves, and rely on some all powerful angels, titans, or some other form of lower deity, which is exactly what they see your kind as, but I know that without your powers, you're just a bunch of plants. When I need help, do I get the help I need? No, they told me to rely on you, to overcome. Where were you, when Sleepy died? Did you try to save him? No, you didn't even try." "He was not meant to survive. That was not our fault." Kiyoshi interrupted. Twisted continued. "This is not about Sleepy. I couldn't care less. What I do care about, is you answering pleas, which you often do. Look up, you'll see a portal, that takes the Mutated Moonflowers to a random dimension and timeline. One by one, my rebel soldiers and I are turning your kind into what they really are, overpowered creatures, and that are being thrown into that portal. As for you, you will be stripped of most of your powers, but two, and banish-. Hey!"
Apparently, Maroshi fell asleep, during the monologue. Twisted groaned, and rolled his eyes, then created a portal, inside the force field, and a powerful wind started to pull them. Hanazuki tried to hold on, and everyone else held on to her, but she lost her grip, and they were all sucked into the portal.
-
When they got out of the portal, Hanazuki, Kiyoshi, Kiazuki, Maroshi, and Miyumi fell in what seemed to be a literally small city. When they landed, it was night, and they saw that there were small cars, small creatures, small buildings, and even big buildings. Everyone saw this, but were unfamiliar with almost everything, except the trees, water, and sand. "Where are we?" Maroshi asked. "I think were in another dimension." Hanazuki said. They got up, but at that moment they stood, the voice of Twisted Unicorn was heard. "Almost forgot… " He said. Rainbow beam came out of them, and they shrunk from fifteen feet to three feet tall. "You now only have two emotion powers, and you're now in an alternate timeline, where you failed to defeat the Big Bad." The voice of Twisted said. "Which ones, and what are talking about?" Miyumi asked. Once again, he began to monologue. "Nice try, but I will tell you when you are. You're in the date of September 1968. In fact, your not only in the future of 1968 AD, your also in a future where Hanazuki failed to stop the Big Bad, and a secret project, I don't know what it was, was used instead to destroy it, Little Dreamer, and all magic. I created this special portal, just for you, so you would know how it feels to be a failure. So enjoy it." Suddenly, the portal closed, and they knew they were trapped. Hanazuki began to walk away. "Where are you going?" Kiyoshi asked, as he and the others followed her. "Nowhere." She sadly replied.
-
"Don't feel bad, I'm sure we will find a way back." Maroshi said. They have been walking for a while, and Hanazuki was feeling like a failure. Hanazuki gave Maroshi a sad look. "He's right, you know. You can get us out of this." Miyumi said. "Who defeated the Big Bad? You did." Maroshi said. "Who reversed our corruption, and saved us? You did." Miyumi said. Hanazuki was annoyed by this point, and Kiazuki can see why. "Don't you get it? We lost!" She shouted. "Kiazuki… " Miyumi said, finding the shout out uncalled for. "She's right. We finally lost." Hanazuki said. Kiyoshi sighed, then looked down. "Hanazuki, I once thought that, when we first met, but you taught me, when there's a will, there's a way, which is something you forgot." He said. "You just need to keep your mind off of this, and find a way, at your own pace, for once." He also said to her. Hanazuki sighed, understandingly. "Come on. Let's do something to keep your mind off of things." He said.
-
Meanwhile, Twisted Unicorn had just finished sending the Mutated Moonflowers through the portal. "Finally, all the Moonflowers have been mutated, brain scrambled, and sent away, at least that's ninety nine point ninety nine percent true." He said to himself. He walked, began walking to his fellow unicorns, then took a deep breath. Once he stopped, he began to look at the sky, then the rock, where the stage and portal use to be, and then back at the unicorns. He sighed. "Okay, here's the deal, I created time portals, timeline portals, and hybrids." He said. "So what else is new?" One of the unicorns asked sarcastically. "I'm getting there. So anyway, I disguised and adapted each of them, into rocks, trees, quicksand, clouds, whirlpools, minerals, glass, sand, pits, soil, wormholes, underwater fields, and forests. Anyone who is disobedient to me will be banished to one of the useless timelines, useless futures, or both." Twisted said.
One of the unicorns tried to say something, but only got to inhale, before being interrupted. "No, I won't tell you my reasoning for making them, yes, they are limited, no, won't tell you where and which they are, yes, they are spread throughout the multiverse, and no, I won't teach you how to make one." Twisted interrupted. "I was going to ask, what happens now." The unicorn said. Twisted opened his mouth, but nothing came out. He closed it, and gave a disappointed look. "You have to wait for orders. We have all the time in the world."He finally said, after a ten second pause. "Boss, are you sure you don't want me to tell them where I saw you make some of the time, timeline, and hybrid portals?" A yellow unicorn asked. "What?!" Twisted Unicorn said, surprised that someone actually saw him make some portals, and maybe what he disguise them as.
-
Meanwhile, back at the future, in the other timeline, it was morning, the Moonflowers had just come across a house, with its lights on, and one of the window open, but they had no idea it was a house, let alone what one looked like. In fact, they thought it was a strange and unusual cave, or some odd rock formation. Inside they heard a sound, a sound of music. "Let's go inside, and see where it's coming from." Maroshi said. "Maroshi, wait. You don't know if that cave, in that strange rock is safe." Kiyoshi said. Maroshi didn't listen, and went through the opened window. "Maroshi!" Hanazuki shouted. "Guys, you have to see this!" Maroshi shouted, inside.
The other Moonflowers quickly entered, through the window, and saw a television, with the Banana Splits Show on, but they didn't know it was a television, or what a television even is. In fact, as far as they knew, there were just a bunch of unusual looking animals trapped in a box. Suddenly, they heard a voice. "Who are you?! What are you?!" The voice said, scaring the Moonflowers. The turn to their right, and saw a nine year old boy. After a brief pause, Hanazuki finally spoke first. "I'm Hanazuki, and I'm a Moonflower." She said. "Kiazuki." Kiazuki said next. "The name's Maroshi." Maroshi said. "Um, my name is Kiyoshi." Kiyoshi said. "… and I'm Miyumi." Miyumi said. The boy looked confused. "What kind of names are those, and what are Moonflowers?" He asked.
-
After a discussion about who they are, and what happened, it was the point of the of the beginning of the first commercial break, of the Banana Splits Show, when the just finished telling him everything. "… and that's that everything you should know." Kiyoshi said. "Woah. You're basically magical plant like people, that protect the universe, and you were sent to September 28, 1968, by an evil unicorn." The boy said. "Something like that." Kiazuki said. "That's far out, but tragic." He replied. "If far out means awesome, then yes, and if tragic means unfortunate, then another yes." Maroshi said. The boy smiled at what he said, trying not to laugh. "That thing in the sky is the sun, and I don't know why the sky is blue. By the way, I'm Kale." The boy said.
Kale's father came, and saw him talking to someone, but because the angle of the hall wall proved a blind spot, he didn't see the Moonflowers. Kale saw him, and approached him, to tell him, but could only open his mouth, with a smile, before suddenly being interrupted. "Who are you talking to?" He said. "A group of magical flower people, from the past, who protect the universe." Kale replied. His father giggled, thinking it was just his imagination. So he thought he would play along. "Really. Well, how did they get here?" He said, playing along. Hanazuki approached. "A tyrannical unicorn trapped us here." She said. When he saw her, he gasped. "Hokey smoke!" He shouted. All the other Moonflower heard this, and approached to see what was the matter. "Oh dear, you weren't playing!" He shouted. "You sure you were an admiral, during World War Two." Kale said. "I'm sorry. We didn't mean to scare anybody, we just wanted to find a way back to our timeline." The father breathed heavily, and looked around, at the Moonflowers. At first he looked fearful, but after one more deep breath, deeper than the rest, he began to look more calm. "I have my eyes on you. You probably don't know anything about break- Never mind, don't try to kill us."
"By the way, how did those creatures get inside that box?" Miyumi asked the father. "That's a television, used for entertainment, and visual story telling." He replied. "Really, sir?" Miyumi said. "It's Alika, Alika Lee, and yes." He replied. "That's very clever." Maroshi said. On the television, there were the Banana Splits were preforming a song, puppets and children were dancing, and mahicans were spinning. Hanazuki was watching this, and started more joy than she had in a long time. Suddenly, her pellets turned from White to Yellow. "Hanazuki, your glowing yellow!" Kiyoshi shouted. "What does that mean?" Alika asked. "It means, one of the only two emotional powers they have left is happiness." Kale said. Hanazuki look at her wrist, to see the color, but her elbow touched a jar of dried beans, sitting on the coffee table, and the beans turned into bean plants. "Woah!" Maroshi and Alika shouted. "Wow." Kale and Kiyoshi said. "Will you ever cease to amaze me, Hanazuki?" Kiazuki said. Hanazuki was shocked, as she stood there, petals turning back White, unsure what to think, as the coffee table collapsed. "You destroyed my coffee table, and turned a jar of dried beans, into bean plants." Alika said. "I'm sorry." Hanazuki said, nervously. "Are you teasing me? You grew something, in three seconds, without any soil." He said. "Is that a good thing?" Kiyoshi said. "While destroying the coffee table wasn't, the growing plants that easily are a different story." Alika said. None of the Moonflowers understood. "There just may be a way to pay me back without money, growing a garden of fruit and vegetables." Alika said.
-
That afternoon, Alika had brought the Moonflowers into his backyard, and just explained everything, he wanted them to do. Beside him was a record player, and in the back yard were many dead plants. On the outdoor chairs, were fruit and seeds of many kinds. "So let me get this straight, you think music will make us mood yellow, and we do all the work, growing plants?!" Kiazuki said. "… or you could pay me back, for that coffee table, with money." Alika said. He asked them if they had any money, and despite none of them knowing what money is, the Moonflowers all admitted that they didn't have any. "That's what I thought." Alika replied.
He turned on the record, and the song "Come and Go with Me" began to play. At first they didn't know what to think, but Hanazuki started shaking shoulders, Maroshi began swinging his fingers, Kiyoshi began taping his foot, and Miyumi began to move here arms to the beat. As a result, all the Moonflowers, except Kiazuki, had their petals turn from White to Yellow. Hanazuki took an avocado, and turned it into an avocado tree. Miyumi got a hand full of sunflower seeds, and threw them, before they turned into sunflowers, on the ground. Maroshi started juggling tomatoes, and as soon as each of them hit the ground, they became plants. Hanazuki starts grabbing some bell peppers, threw them, one by one, and watched them become bell pepper plants. Kiyoshi got two strawberries, and tossed them, before they turned into plants. Miyumi began throwing some beautyberry seeds in the air, and saw them turn into, American Beautyberry shrubs. Maroshi got a cucumber, and threw far, and when it landed, it became a cucumber plant. Meanwhile, Kiazuki just stood there, rolling her eyes, unimpressed with what's going on. "Why aren't you doing anything?" Alika asked her. "You do know they're just creating a garden for you, right?" She replied. "I know, but it saves me time and money. That's how they're paying me back." He said. Kiazuki sighed, upon hearing this.
-
Meanwhile, in the other timeline, Twisted Unicorn was making an announcement, after much damage to some areas. "Okay, some of the time portals have been destroyed, so Mr. Yellow Unicorn here, won't get any bright ideas. So you will only see the portals I want you to know are there. This way, things will be more controlled, and harder to get to, and hopefully, no one would betray me, and rescue the last Moonflowers. That being said, did anyone else see me create and disguise the portals? Raise your hooves." He said. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of unicorns raised their hooves, in response. "What?! You can't be serious. Do you know how paranoid, I am? Destroy every portal, you saw. Make them one sided, for all I care." He replied. At first the unicorns just stood there, one even said something. "Aren't you overreacting?" She said. "Do you want me to get the sword, the Talisman Sword, the sword forged from the remaining Black gem trees, Mooflower petals, a Raspberry gem tree, and the essence of a moon's core. A blade design to kill the unkillable?" He asked, as some other unicorn were bringing a glowing purple sword, with a brown swirl of it. She panicked, with fear, and began to look around, at her fellow unicorns. "You heard him. Do what he said!" She shouted. "I give the orders around here, so I say, do what I said." He said.
Quickly, most of the unicorns ran off, to destroy, or one side, the portals. Twisted smiled with pride, understanding the chance of the Moonflower getting trapped forever, but one other unicorn stayed behind, and asked him a very relevant question. "What's the plan after this?" He asked. Twisted looked at the unicorn. "What?" He replied. "Now that the Moonflowers are taken care of, and the portals are about to be destroyed, what will happen next?" Twisted paused, and looked concerned. After this, it will feel like there was nothing else to do. "Hmm… I wonder." He said.
