Chapter 23: Sora's Dreamland Adventure Part 1
For the next 30 minutes, our heroes are sitting around and having fun. Plucky even let Sora play his Nintendo DS. Sora beats Whitney's Gym in Pokemon Heartgold.
Plucky: How did you do that?
Sora: Beginner's luck.
Sweetie: Sora, We're approaching a new world!
Sora: Let's check it out.
He and the gang looks out the window to see a star-shaped planet.
Sora: That's a new world? It looks like a star.
Sweetie: It may look like a star, but it's definitely a new world. It's called Pop Star. And on Pop Star is a land called Dreamland, home of the Cappies of Cappy Town.
Sneezer: Although the inhabitants are friendly creatures, I recommend you three should change appearances to be safe.
Sora: But how can we change our appearances?
Plucky: Mumbo taught me a special ability to do that.
Sora: Is it safe?
Plucky: It's not tested yet, but I'll give it a try.
He points his staff at Sora and zaps him. A smoke poofs in front of him and now he's wearing a Princess Peach costume.
Sora:(Sweatdrops)Plucky, you need to work on your magic.
Plucky: I just wanted to make you look stupid, kid.
Plucky, Dizzy, and Elder-Ham rolls on the floor with laughter.
Dizzy: Sora so pretty in pink.
Sora walks over to Plucky and zaps him with Thunder.
Sora: You better change me back or else!
Plucky: OK! OK! I was just fooling around.
He points his staff again and returns Sora to normal.
Plucky: At least it worked. Now I'll use my magic to change our appearances when we arrive.
The Gummi Ship departs for Dreamland.
World: Dreamland
Cappy Town is a small but peaceful town in Dreamland. The Cappies are small ghost-like creatures with oval black eyes, tan bodies, and pudgy hands with no fingers. The Gummi Ship arrives and out came three odd creatures. One has a red oval-shaped chest with yellow feet and has arms, hands, and feet, but no legs. The other is similar to the former, but looks like a green duck with a white oval-shaped chest and also yellow feet. The last one looks like a Cappy, but was purple with a Tasmanian Devil face and arms. The three creatures are none other than Sora, Plucky, and Dizzy. Sora looks around nervously.
Sora: Plucky, are you sure about this? We don't look anything like them except for Dizzy.
Dizzy: But me still have normal face and arms.
Plucky: Don't worry. The Cappies are friendly creatures and they are not the only creatures in this world. Besides, we need hands and feet to fight the Heartless.
Sora: Good point there. But does Dreamland lack in the leg department?
Plucky: That's just the way they are, kid.
Dizzy: But me have no feet.
Plucky: Get use to it! I can't do anything about it now. We can't let people suspect us.
Sora tried to walk, but falls down.
Sora: Ugh! It's so hard to walk with feet like this!
Plucky: It's not that hard. All you have to do is...
He broke into a song and dance.
Plucky: Put one foot in front of the other and soon you'll be walking across the floor. Put one foot in front of the other and soon you'll be walking out the door.
He ran into a tree and fell down.
Sora: Looks like your act needs a little work.
Plucky: But at least I tried.
Dizzy: Plucky good at being clumsy.
Plucky: Can't you two at least give me a break?
Sora: At least you're good at being a good friend.
Plucky: Thanks, Sora. Do you really mean that?
Sora: Of course I do. All for one and one for all!
He slowly walks across the street and turns to his group.
Sora: You're right, Plucky. It's not so hard. Let's go, guys!
The trio walks through Cappy Town for a bit. Along the way, they encountered two Cappies. One Cappy is a mayor wearing a brown hat, brown suit with a blue bow tie, and has a white moustache. The other Cappy is a police chief wearing a blue hat, blue suit, and has a black moustache.
Sora: Excuse me. Can you tell us where we are?
The two Cappies turned to the trio.
Mayor Cappy: Oh, it looks like we have visitors here. I've never seen your faces around here before. What's your names?
Sora: My name is Sora.
Plucky: And I'm Plucky Duck.
Dizzy: And me Dizzy Devil.
Mayor Cappy: Glad to meet you, Sora. I'm Mayor Len of Cappy Town. We always welcome guests.
Police Cappy: And I'm Chief Bookem. I'm the police chief of this town. Where did you three come from anyways?
Dizzy: Sora, Plucky, and Dizzy come from Traverse...
But Plucky quickly cuts Dizzy off.
Sora: Another part of Dreamland, sirs.
Plucky whispers into Dizzy's ears.
Plucky:(Whispers)What did I say before about asking where we are from?
Dizzy: Don't say anything.
Chief Bookem was wondering what the two toons are talking about.
Bookem: What was that about?
Plucky & Dizzy: Nothing!
Len: Well, anyway, so you say you're from another part of Dreamland? I'll bet you boys are tired after a long journey coming over here. We have an inn not too far from here if you need a rest.
Chief Bookem turns to Mayor Len.
Bookem: Mr. Mayor, there is something suspicious about those three characters. It's already been five minutes and I don't trust them. Especially the one with the dog face.
Dizzy crossed his arms and made an upset look.
Dizzy: Dizzy never been so insulted in his whole life.
Len: Bookem, let's not be rude to our guests.
Bookem: OK. We'll let them off for now.
He then turns to the trio.
Bookem: But if you three cause any trouble, I'm locking you all up.
The trio gulps upon hearing that. Chief Bookem then walks away.
Sora: Man, that's really scary.
Len: Relax. He's not that bad once you get to know him. If you fellas are looking for the inn, it's right over there by our world famous restaurant.
He points to where the inn and the restaurant are.
Dizzy: Restaurant? Dizzy go there!
Sora: Yeah, I am getting hungry. Thank you, sir.
Len: Don't mention it. Well, I need to go home. Farewell!
The gang said good-bye and heads off. Along the way, Sora found a chest containing five more Pikmin. The trio walks around Cappy Town to admire the scenery. They then went to a small park area and sat down at the bench. They then look at the map of Cappy Town.
Plucky: So the inn is by the restaurant. We'll check into the inn first and then we'll eat at the restaurant.
Dizzy: Sound good to me.
Sora: Let's go then.
The gang was about to leave when they suddenly hear a female voice.
?: Come on, Tuff! Hurry up!
Sora notices five creatures running towards them. Two of them look just like what Sora and Plucky were. The first one was a young girl who had light yellow skin and a long ponytail. She wore a shirt which was half pink and half green with an egg cracked look in the middle. She also had orange feet. The second one was a boy with orange skin, orange and green mushroom cut hair covering his eyes, blue pants without a shirt, and green feet. The next two creatures weren't running, but floating. They are both round creatures. One with blue skin and the other with pink skin. They had white gloves and feet. The pink one wears a bow on her head. The most interesting creature of all was a pink, round creature with oval eyes, blushing red cheeks, small pudgy arms, and small red feet. The two floating creatures flew so fast, they ran into Plucky.
Plucky: OW! Watch where you're going!
Pink creature: We're so sorry!
Blue creature: We didn't mean to...
When they looked at Plucky, they both screamed and hid behind the girl.
Girl: What's the matter, Fololo and Falala? They seem friendly to me.
Dizzy: Dizzy mean no harm.
Girl: Sorry about that. They can get scared sometimes.
Sora: Don't worry about it. Plucky sometimes thinks there's a monster under his bed.
Plucky: I do not!
Girl: You must be visitors from another part of Dreamland. I heard Mayor Len and Chief Bookem mentioned you three before. We always welcome visitors from another part of Dreamland.
Boy: I don't know. They look different.
Sora: What do you mean? We're from Dreamland, just not from around here.
The girl observes the three.
Girl: They do look different, but they seem harmless. Besides, the one with the spiky hair is kinda cute. Forgive me, but I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Tiff.
Boy: And I'm her brother Tuff.
Fololo: And we're their friends Fololo.
Falala: And Falala.
Plucky: Nice to meet you all. But who is that pink puff ball?
Tiff: Oh yeah. This is our special friend Kirby. Say hi, Kirby.
Kirby looks at the trio confused at first, but then smiles and hops around
Kirby: Kirby! Kirby!
Plucky: Great, another Pokemon.
Sora stomps his foot on Plucky's foot, causing him to scream.
Plucky: YEOW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?
Plucky realizes why Sora did that for.
Plucky Oh right. Sorry.
Tiff: Kirby can't really speak too well yet. He may have a hard time understanding you.
Sora: Hi, Kirby. My name is Sora.
Kirby: So..ra?
Sora: Huh?
Kirby: Sora!
Plucky: And I'm Plucky Duck.
Kirby: Plucky Duck!
Dizzy: And me Dizzy Devil.
Kirby: Dizzy Devil!
Sora: Wow! He's like a baby. That's so cute.
Dizzy made a jealous look at Kirby as he jumps up and down for Sora who starts laughing.
Plucky: By the way, you guys look like you were in a hurry. What's the rush?
Tiff: We were all playing a game when these-
Tuff: Tiff, they're back!
Everyone turns to see Heartless. They are Red Nocturnes, Search Ghosts, and new ones called Star Fighters. They are small round Heartless with star swords and shields.
Sora: Hide, you guys! We'll take care of the Heartless!
Tiff, Tuff, Fololo, and Falala all ran to the tree, but Kirby joins in the fight.
Sora: Kirby, stay outta this!
Kirby didn't listen and uses his Inhale to swallow a Red Nocturne. He swallows it and gains a tiara with fire on it.
Sora: You can fight too?
Tiff: Of course he can.
Plucky: What is that on his head?
Tuff: Kirby can copy his enemy's abilities. He is now Fire Kirby.
Kirby uses his Fire Breath to burn some Heartless. He then uses Burn to turn into a fireball and took out some Heartless.
Plucky: Wow! That's pretty cool!
Sora: We gotta fight, too!
Sora's group charges at the Heartless. The Search Ghosts disappeared for a moment and then reappeared behind the group. Sora clashes with the Star Fighters while Plucky and Dizzy battles the Search Ghosts and Red Nocturnes. Plucky uses Blizzara while Dizzy uses his Spin Attack. The gang eventually wipes out the Heartless.
Plucky: The coast is clear! You can come out now, guys!
Kirby's friends came out from behind the tree and bushes and Tuff cheers.
Tuff: That was awesome! You guys rock!
Dizzy: It nothing. We took down a bunch of Heartless.
Fololo & Falala: Those were the creatures that attacked us.
Tuff: They were chasing us before, but Kirby took care of them.
Tiff: You should've seen him in action earlier. He's a Star Warrior.
Plucky: Star Warrior? Don't make me laugh.
Tuff: Don't make fun of him! You wouldn't believe some of the cool things he did.
More Heartless appeared, but Kirby swallows them all in one gulp. Kirby's group cheers while Sora's group had dropped their mouths.
Sora: Did you see that, guys? He ate them all in one gulp!
Tiff: Kirby has fought tons of monsters before and he's a big eater too.
Tuff: But sometimes, his eating habits gets us into trouble.
Plucky then looks at Dizzy.
Plucky: It looks like someone has finally met his match.
Dizzy: No way! Dizzy still best eater here!
Dizzy saw a tree with a fruit and went into his Spin Attack. Dizzy spins into the tree and accidentally falls it down. Kirby grabs the fruit and ate it. Kirby walks back to Tiff and rubs his stomach.
Tiff: Kirby's still hungry. We were about to go eat and head home when those things attacked us.
Tuff: So how are we going to get there without those creatures attacking us again?
Tiff: We don't mean to ruin your day, but would you like to come with us?
Sora: Yeah, we'll go with you. The Heartless are pretty dangerous. We'll escort you to the restaurant and to your home. We're heading to the restaurant ourselves.
Dizzy: Let go already! Me hungry!
Sora's gang and the kids went to the restaurant. It looks like a Japanese restaurant.
Tuff: Here we are. This is Kawasaki's restaurant.
Dizzy took a sniff.
Dizzy: Smell good, but not too good.
Tiff: Chef Kawasaki's cooking isn't that great, but at least he tried.
Suddenly, one of Sora's Summon Gems reacted and Yoshi came out.
Yoshi: Yoshi want food!
Tuff: Hehehehehe. Looks like we have another customer.
Sora and the gang enters the restaurant. It was a small Japanese-styled restaurant with small wooden tables and chairs set up. An egg-shaped orange creature wearing a chef's hat and a cooking apron walks out to greet them.
Creature: Tiff, Tuff, glad you two could drop by.
He then turns to notice Kirby. He made a disappointed look.
Creature: And you brought Kirby as well.
Tiff: What's up, Chef Kawasaki?
Kawasaki: Same old, Same old. Business as slow as usual. I was hoping to see Cappy Town's 200th anniversary parade. But after this meal, I think I'll be here all night.
He turns to notice Sora's gang.
Kawasaki: Oh my. Are these new friends of yours?
Fololo: They are Sora, Plucky, Dizzy, and Yoshi. They helped us fight off the black creatures.
Kawasaki: Any friends of Tiff and Tuff are friends of mine.
He walks up to Sora and shakes his hand
Kawasaki: Please make yourself at home, fellas.
The group found a long table to sit at and orders their food. After 10 minutes of waiting, Kawasaki brought them their food. Everyone ate it all up. Dizzy, Yoshi, and Kirby ate theirs at a fast pace.
Tiff: We're putting this on my dad's account, so you can eat as much as you like.
Sora: Good, cause I'm ordering another one.
Dizzy: Dizzy order two more!
Yoshi: Yoshi order three more!
Plucky: Those three have endless stomachs.
Kawasaki walks in with three more bowls of ramen panting.
Kawasaki: You kids sure can eat. These are the last three bowls. Who wants one?
Sora and Plucky raised their hands and the chef gave them their bowls. Dizzy, Yoshi, and Kirby wants the last one, but upon realizing they wanted it, the three gave each other stares you would imagine in the westerns.
Dizzy: Last bowl Dizzy's!
Yoshi: Think again, Dizzy!
Kirby: Poyo! Poyo!
Sora: So it's like the devil, the dino, and the puffball.
Kawasaki: Well, I can't stand around all day. Which one of you want it?
Dizzy: Dizzy challenge Yoshi and Kirby to a showdown! One who eat bowl first wins!
Everybody rolls their eyes, but they knew how powerful Dizzy, Yoshi, and Kirby are when it comes to eating, so they decided to watch. Dizzy, Yoshi, and Kirby jumps out of their chairs. Kawasaki sat the bowl down between the three eaters staring at each other.
Plucky: I can't wait to see this! It's the battle of the century! Three titans of eating going at each other!
Everyone shushed Plucky as the wind blew lightly into the room.
Dizzy: This town ain't big enough for three eaters.
Yoshi: Two of us have to go.
Kirby: Poyo!
Tuff: On the count to 3, I'll say draw! 1...2...3...DRAW!
Yoshi stuck his tongue out and wraps it around the bowl of ramen. Kirby tried sucking the bowl in, but Yoshi held onto it with all his might. Dizzy soon follows with his Spin Attack and tried to grab the bowl. For a while, all three struggled back and forth with the bowl. Finally, all three of them fell over and the bowl went flying into the air and lands on Plucky's head. The ramen was so hot that it burns his face.
Plucky: AAAAAHHHHH! MY EYES! IT BURNS!
He ran into a wall which had a picture of Kawasaki. The picture fell off and the chef dove for the picture and grabs it, but then trips over Plucky and crashes into a table.
Sora: Looks like Plucky is the winner!
Everybody laughs while Dizzy, Yoshi, and Kirby sighs.
Tuff: So that means it's a draw. Kirby, Yoshi, and Dizzy are the ultimate eaters.
Kawasaki: Great. That means I have two more Kirbies.
He faints. Sora and the gang helps clean up the mess made by Dizzy, Yoshi, and Kirby. Then they paid the check and left.
Plucky: That's one dining experience I won't forget.
Sora: Looks like Dizzy's not the only one who eats like crazy.
Kirby extends his hand to Dizzy, but Dizzy turns away from him. But being the nice little devil, he turns to Kirby with a smile and shook his hand.
Tiff: That's so cute. They're friends now.
Tuff: Hey, Tiff. We should get back to the castle. I'm worried that those creatures might do something to our parents.
Plucky: You're parents are the King and Queen of this world?
Tiff: I wish. My parents are actually the King's Court Officials, so we all live in the castle.
Sora: So your parents work for the King? Who is he anyway?
Tuff: A big fat loser named King Dedede.
Fololo & Falala: Fat as in a ton of bricks.
Plucky: I take it he must be a bad King.
Tiff: Dedede makes all these dumb laws and tried to ruin our fun. He even hates Kirby and used to work for a company called Nightmare Enterprises. But Kirby always foils his plans. Right, Kirby?
Kirby: Poyo!
Tiff: I believe that maybe he summoned those creatures here. We should let daddy know about this.
Tuff: But ever since they've shown up, he's been acting really weird.
Sora: That's OK. We'll come to the castle with you guys.
Our heroes left Cappy Town and went towards the castle, fighting Heartless along the way. They finally reached the castle entrance and Tiff knocks on the door. Two creatures answered the door. The first one wore green armor with green feet, a brown chest, and a belt which held a sword in a sheath. The second one also wore green armor with brown feet, a blue chest, red long hair at the back, a red mask, and a sword in a sheath too.
Tuff: Hi, Sword! Hi, Blade!
Sword Knight: Tiff, Tuff, I'm glad to see you're both safe. Your parents are worried sick.
Tiff: Our parents are usually never worried that much.
Blade Knight: It's because those creatures attacked our world.
The two knights turned to Sora's group.
Sword Knight: Who are these people? They look suspicious to me. Especially the dog that looks like a Cappy.
Dizzy got mad and crossed his hands
Fololo: They're our new friends. They protected us from those monsters.
Falala: They don't mean any harm.
Tiff: Please! Can't you let these three come in?
Sword Knight: Well...
Blade Knight:...OK.
Tuff: Thanks, guys.
Sword Knight: Hurry up before the King comes.
The gang enters quickly into the castle. As the two knights closed the door, a mysterious figure watches from a tree with his eyes glowing green.
?:(Mexican accent)He has come.
That's it for chapter 23. Tiff, Tuff, Mayor Len, and Chief Bookem are from the Kirby anime. Our Dreamland adventures will continue next time.
