Sorry if this chapter isn't dark or action packed enough. With all of the beatings and fighting going on, I wanted at least one chapter where it has a slow paced adventure where it is calm and fun to read. I will do this one more time. Please enjoy!

Chapter 5: Petey the Piranha and Friends.

After the Aikastu door finally made up it's mind to where it wanted Petey to go, it opened and Petey fell hard on the ground with a thud. When Petey got up. He had landed on some sort of island that belonged to Japan. It was a beautiful place. Petey almost liked it more than the Mushroom Kingdom.

After looking around he came to a stop. A broken wooden sign laid on the ground. When Petey looked closer the sign read: Welcome to the Japari Park!

Part 1: The Savanna

BGM: Desert - Edit (Super Mario Bros 3. Super Mario Maker 2)

And hour or so passed and Petey was sleeping on a cliff side. Near a watering hole. Petey thought after all he fought almost a day ago. He needed his rest for a job well-done.

After almost falling asleep, he was quickly woken up by a shriek right below him. Petey sat up to look at a frightened girl who had fallen on her bottom trembling.

"P-p-p-p-please don't eat me!" She quivered.

This girl wore a red T-shirt and had black gloves, she had messy black hair. Black leggings and white tennis shoes. Her eyes were grayish. And white shorts. Her Safari Hat was white. A little torn up. And has a cyan feather in it. She was also supported by a large white backpack.

Petey ignored her. And took flight to a giant Baobab tree so he could have shade. The little girl was still frightened by a large sinister looking flower. But was surprised it didn't eat her.

"Kaban!" Shouted a girl not to far away. The girl who was named Kaban or translated to Bag. Held up her hand. And waved.

"Serval! Over here!" Kaban yelled back.

The girl named Serval. Who wasn't very much different than a real Serval other than looking like a human and a sleeveless shirt. But we are going to lack the description of the animal or animal -girls for now.

"I heard you scream. What's the matter?" Serval asked.

"Umm, there was a giant sleeping flower." Kaban explained. "It had a ring of petals and had a huge mouth. Somehow it didn't eat me."

"A Cerulean maybe?" Serval said. "But I don't see why it didn't eat you."

"Maybe some Ceruleans are nice?" Kaban asked.

After explaining to Serval about seeing Petey Piranha. Serval had said she had bought some Japari Buns from Donkey earlier. Kaban was happy to have something in her stomach today.

After a lunch of Japari Buns and some water from the watering hole. Serval and Kaban were ready to continue their own adventure.

"Hmm, where Caracal?" Serval wondered. Her best friend was presumingly missing.

"Who?" Kaban asked.

"Caracal." Serval replied. "She's my best friend. We play together a lot, but she said she would go find a wheel to fix the Japari Bus. Maybe she got lost?"

"Maybe do you want to look for her?" Kaban asked.

"Sure lets go!" Serval jumped up and started walking down the cliff.

Kaban was slowly walking down the steep slope. Not wanting to trip.

"Be careful!" Hippo called for the edge. "Make sure not to twist your ankle. You might get hurt!"

"Okay, I'll be careful." Kaban replied.

Once down, Serval and Kaban continued their adventure to find Caracal to repair their Bus. Which they left at the Library.

Not to far from there, Petey was sleeping along the Baobab tree. When a tire fell on his head. Petey jumped and was startled. And angrily growled at the tire. When a orange cat jumped down from the tree. She looked similar to a serval but different. A Caracal.

"Sorry about that." Caracal said. She was surprised about Petey's look, but he just grunted and walked away. Because she had did nothing wrong. And he didn't want to get into a fight today.

"Guess he isn't a Cerulean." Caracal said. Then she continued, calling out Serval's name and a name that was called: Kyururu.

"Oh there you are!" Serval said walking up to Caracal, with Kaban close behind.

"Did you see Kyururu?" Serval asked.

Caracal shook her head. "Nope, Kyururu didn't tell me anything, I wonder-" She was cut off when another child running towards Serval, Caracal and Kaban.

The child had a blue vest and a black T-shirt, blue shorts and tan shorts, wore a turquoise backpack, the child also had a smaller Safari hat but blue and a red feather in it. The child had blackish eyes one pupil was black and the other magenta. Her name was Kyururu. She looked similar to Kaban. But younger.

"I was looking for a part in my drawing." Kyururu said. Flipping through her sketchbook. "This one."

Serval, Caracal and Kaban looked closely at the drawing. It was a giant green flower with orange petals, beyond several rows of other flower like plants. But they also had sharp teeth.

"It looks pretty!" Serval commented. "Although I don't know why they have sharp teeth. I don't think flowers have sharp teeth, unless it's a Cerulean."

"Umm, shouldn't we avoid them?" Caracal pleaded.

Kyururu and Kaban we're also curious as of why she had drawn a picture of a massive flower with sharp teeth, then suddenly Caracal and Kaban realized what the picture was of.

"I know what it is!" Kaban and Caracal shouted.

Then they explained to Kyururu and Serval how they had seen a similar figure. But it had walked away, they had thought it was shy. But that wasn't entirely the case.

"Okay!" Serval shouted. "Let's go find it!"

But the question was where he was.

Petey wasn't very far from where they were. Luckily they were heading the direction of him.

Petey, in fact, was sleeping on top of a boulder. Snoring loudly. But each time his drool hit the ground. Roots started bubbling, perhaps you may remember a similar time when this happened.

Petey had just woken up when Serval spotted him. "Hey!" She yelled. "Over here!"

Petey turned in her direction. Confused he waited for her to catch up. The others were right behind her. Kyururu held up her drawing and showed him the picture.

"Do you know this place?" She asked.

Petey studied it awhile. And realized it was his home place. It was a picture of a windmill of where he was standing on. And an army of Piranha Plants. Although Petey did not know where in this park a windmill with Piranha Plants could be.

"Hey Lucky-San." Kaban asked. "Do you know where this is?"

Lucky scanned the picture and he started a search around the park.

"Searching, Searching. Scan complete!" He beeped. "A match was found. Located at Park Central. Although walking is not recommended. We must take transportation, using the nearest detected form of transportation is a Japari Bus at the Japari Library. The travel will take five hours." Lucky Beast booped.

"Well we found a tire." Caracal said.

"Do you want to keep it?" Kyururu asked Petey. In response Petey stuck out his tongue, indicating for her to place it there. Since Piranha Plants have super reactive tongues. He could memorize the look of the drawing in his belly.

"That's a weird way of accepting a gift." Serval commented. And she giggled.

"If we want to repair the bus." Caracal said. "I can't carry this tire all the way! It's too heavy!"

Also in response Petey opened his mouth, Caracal tossed it in. And he sallowed it in one gulp. Since weight was nothing to Petey he could carry it all day. And this surprised Serval and Co.

"Oh no, can we find another tire?" Caracal moaned.

"I don't know..." Kyururu said. "Maybe he's carrying it for us?"

"How can he?" Caracal snapped. "He just ate the tire!"

"Who knows?" Serval said cheerfully. "Let's go!"

Lucky Beast guided them in his built-in GPS. And the rest followed close behind. And this marks the grand adventure of a whole new Kemono Friends.

BGM Ends.

Part 2: Bamboo Thicket

BGM: Forest - Edit (Super Mario World. Super Mario Maker 2)

After leaving the Savanna area. The area next to it was a dense forest of bamboo trees.

"Wow it's so pretty!" Serval exclaimed.

"So what's next on your sketchbook?" Caracal asked Kyururu.

"Umm." Kyururu said as she flipped through her book. "This one!"

Everyone except Petey peered at it. It was a picture of a white egg with green dots. And a green dinosaur eating a berry of a bush.

"Is that a human?" Caracal asked.

"I don't think so." Kaban responded.

Now they were looking for a egg with a dinosaur. Petey did recall seeing a green egg before. But not a dinosaur. So he wasn't much help either.

After about 10 minutes of walking down a trail through the bamboo thicket. They stumbled upon a large tree stump. Caracal slumped on it.

"I'm stumped." She said board.

But what she didn't know that someone was sleeping on the stump. In which she rolled off it entirely. She got up and gazed at the group.

"Who do you six happen to be?" She asked sleepy.

"I'm Serval, this is Caracal, and this is Kaban and Kyururu. And this one I'm not sure." Serval introduced. Petey made a grunt in response.

"I'm Giant Panda." The one named Giant Panda replied. "And this is-" She was cut off to a branch snapping and another panda fell down. "Red Panda." She continued.

"Ow, ow, ow." Red Panda said while rubbing her shoulder.

"Excuse me." Kyururu said. "Do you know where this is?" She said while showing them the picture.

"Is that?" Red Panda said while staring at it. Giant Panda was the first to respond.

"We know where it is!" She exclaimed.

"Follow us!" Red Panda said happily, knowing she could help her friends.

Giant Panda and Red Panda lead the group to a opening in the forest. It was full of flowers and a rebuilt playground. The others except Petey gazed in awe.

"I think it was here somewhere..." Red Panda pondered. "Oh wait it's over there."

There was a small brick like block that had an egg resting on it.

"There it is!" Giant Panda said. "Do you want us to guide you through the forest as well?"

"Sure!" Kaban responded.

"Changing route" Lucky programmed. "There is a mountain nearby, a battery was detected as the Japari Bus does not yet have a battery inside."

"Kay, we'll lead the way." Red Panda said.

Caracal grabbed the egg and followed close behind. Eventually the egg started to hatch.

"It's hatching?" Kaban said curiously. "Maybe it's the dinosaur in your picture Kyururu?"

Indeed it was the egg hatched and a small green blob morphed into a semi-large green dinosaur. The others were in shock or stunned. Petey simply stared.

"Whew thank you for saving me!" The dinosaur said. "My name is Yoshi."

Serval did the classic introduction. Petey just groaned in response.

"That's odd. I don't recognize any of you." Yoshi said. "I though I knew everyone around the globe. Although I do know who Petey Piranha is."

The others turned to Petey and realized what Yoshi was saying.

"Oh, so your name is Petey!" Red Panda pointed out. "How come you won't talk?"

Petey grunted in response.

"Piranha Plants can't talk." Yoshi explained. "They can only make hissing, moaning, grunting or monstrous roars."

The others shuddered when they heard this. So they tried their bast to not make Petey angry.

"So um." Kaban stuttered. "How come you were in that egg?"

Yoshi explained how he had been captured by something, then sent through a giant slingshot, ending up in a brick block inside a egg.

"How'd that happen?" Caracal asked.

"I don't know." Yoshi said. "I was walking with Mario, then the next thing I know I was grabbed and stuffed in an egg. Then sent here."

"So what can you do?" Serval asked. "Can you jump high, or play hunter?"

"I can carry humans." Yoshi said as he grabbed Kyururu and Kaban on his saddle-like back. Then he jumped high in the hair and flutter kicked in the air, making him go higher.

Kyururu and Kaban were shocked. The others cheered in delight. Next Yoshi ate a berry and laid an egg.

"Wait, if your a male." Caracal wondered. "Then how did you just lay an egg?"

Yoshi explained. "All Yoshi genders can lay eggs. But only females can make them hatch into babies. While males can use them into tools, items or weapons."

"An egg as a tool?" Giant Panda questioned.

Yoshi grabbed his egg and chucked it at a nearby brick block, it shattered into many pieces.

"Wow!" Serval exclaimed. "That's super helpful!"

"Indeed it is!" Yoshi replied. "It's a Yoshi's job to protect."

Then they continued to walk through the forest, while Yoshi told tales about going on adventures with two plumbers wearing red and green and blue overalls.

"I think we are almost there!" Red Panda announced.

"I think so too." Giant Panda replied.

A mountain was coming into view. So they stopped at a stream for a drink of water.

"Phew!" Said Serval cheerfully. "This is fun!"

Just then Petey heard light swimming nearby, he turned to see two crocodilians come out of the water. One had a black jacket, and the other had a green shirt and glasses. It was Salt Water Crocodile and Spectacled Caiman.

"Hey! What are you doing here?!" Saltwater Crocodile shouted.

"Yeah, this is our turf!" Spectacled Caiman said coldly. "Don't make us repeat ourselves!"

Serval and Caracal were startled but Kyururu and Kaban tried to reason with them.

"Don't hurt us!" Kaban pleaded. "We are just getting though this forest!"

Spectacled Caiman eyed them suspiciously and adjusted her glasses.

Saltwater Crocodile grunted. "All right, we'll let you off the hook this time. But I kinda want to challenge that guy." She pointed a Petey. Yoshi was still confused on what was going on.

"Fine." Caracal agreed. "Do you want to fight Petey?"

Petey grumbled in response. Which annoyed Saltwater Crocodile. "Come at me!" She yelled.

Again Petey just grunted and looked around. Which got Saltwater Crocodile saltier than she had even been, which also annoyed Spectacled Caiman.

Saltwater Crocodile threw a punch. Petey countered it easily with his head. Then grabbed her by her leg and slammed her down in the water.

"Pretty tough, huh?" She grunted as she came back out of the water. Just as she was about to throw another punch. A root sprung through the ground.

"Saltwater Crocodile!" Spectacled Caiman shouted as she dove to get her out of the way.

Instead the root hit Petey and he skid across the muddy ground and hit a rock, presumingly he was knocked out.

"Hey, What was that?" Saltwater Crocodile asked as Spectacled Caiman helped her up.

Then Red Panda noticed that the river water was starting to bubble, and two more roots sprung from the ground. Both had Piranha Plant faces. Then a bigger Piranha Plant sprang from the water and roared loudly at the group. It's root was spiky and long, and had two other roots with the same Piranha Plant face.

It was Naval Piranha.

BGM: Big Bang! (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)

While the others were cowering in fear. A smaller Piranha Plant lunged at the group with a wide open mouth. Saltwater Crocodile was able to knock it away. But the other slammed right into Spectacled Caiman, crashing into Saltwater Crocodile.

"I got this!" Serval announced as she jumped high in the air, and raised her fist. "Meow! Meow! Meow! MEEEEEOOOOOOOwwwwww~" Then Serval landed somewhere in the forest. As Naval Piranha had already head butted her as hard has he could. Then continued to roar at the group.

"Ugh, it's Naval Piranha again." Yoshi groan. "Why does this happen every time?"

Naval Piranha continued to attack. Repeatedly slamming his head to try and crush everyone.

"Get Lucky and those kids outta here!" Saltwater Crocodile told Spectacled Caiman.

She Lucky had already moved towards safety, Spectacled Caiman grabbed Kyururu and Kaban by the hand. "This way!" She hollered. As she ran towards the thicker bamboo trees.

"Get to safety! Hurry!" Giant Panda told Red Panda. Giant Panda had a intense aura around her.

"O-Okay." Red Panda said while she ran to join the others.

Giant Panda growled, then she leapt on Naval Piranha while continuously and rapidly striking him in the head.

"You don't hurt my friends!" She yelled as she continued to punch him. Naval Piranha was having difficulty trying to get her off.

"I guess this is what they meant when everyone said she can be scary when she's angry." Spectacled Caiman asked. Red Panda nodded.

Eventually Naval Piranha grew tired of being punched around. His smaller Piranha Plants grabbed Giant Panda, and Naval Piranha opened his mouth to eat her.

Giant Panda continued to growl and yell angrily, but Naval Piranha kept bringing her closer to his mouth.

Then all of a sudden. Naval Piranha cried in pain, and instantly dropped Giant Panda. He flopped on the ground and wallowed in pain. Serval jumped back to her group.

"He had a giant 'X' on his back. I think it's his weak spot!" Serval said. Just as she was about to hit it again. A shadow leapt by. It was Petey Piranha.

"Petey?!" Caracal shouted.

When Petey landed. He roared his monstrous roar, this scared Naval Piranha. As he knew that it was he that his smaller Piranha root was the one who punched him, not Saltwater Crocodile. Naval Piranha whimpered and descended in the water and hurriedly ran away.

BGM Ends.

The others were stunned when Petey scared off Naval Piranha. But it was not to protect his 'friends' it was because Naval Piranha had hit Petey. And Piranha Plants know better than to mess with Petey.

Petey scowled and walked away. The others walked out of the bamboo trees.

"Hey, thanks for saving us." Saltwater Crocodile said. "And I actually mean it."

Petey grunted but didn't ask anymore questions. He nodded towards Spectacled Caiman.

"Eh? Me?" She asked. "Oh wait, where are my glasses?"

Petey then hurled up water, her glasses with it.

"Whew! Thanks!" She told him. "I can't really see without them."

"Bye-bye." Giant Panda said. "I hope you find what your looking for."

"I heard two other friends are looking for a child with a hat." Red Panda said. "You might run into them."

"Thanks for the advice!" Kyururu said. But she and Kaban knew one of them were the animal they were looking for.

The other friends waved good-bye. Petey had coughed one more thing for them as thanks.

"What's this?" Spectacled Caiman asked while the others were looking at a shiny golden coin.

Part 3: Mountain

BGM: The Law of Pajama (Mario & Luigi: Dream Team)

"What are we supposed to do now?" Serval asked. As they looked at a giant mountain. There was no sign of a lift, or a way up.

"Well I guess we can stop for lunch." Caracal decided.

The group settled on Japari Buns. Petey disliked them however. This almost surprised everyone. As they were eating, a bird friend landed on the rope of a former lift. Unfortunately unlike the other bird friends. This one was a 'great' singer.

Watashi Wa Toki~!

Kyururu and Kaban listened to the song while Serval and Caracal covered their ears and dove for cover.

nakama o sagashi teru

doko ni iru no

nakama-tachi

watashi no nakama

sagashite kudasai

ā nakama…

Once the friend known as Crested Ibis. Realized that six people were listening. She flew down to where they were resting.

"Thank you for listening." Crested Ibis said. "My name is Crested Ibis. Did you enjoy my song?"

"Yeah it was wonderful!" Kaban and Kyururu exclaimed.

"Perhaps you want an encore." Created Ibis asked before she inhaled.

"No! No!" Serval shouted before Crested Ibis could start again.

When She looked around, Serval and Caracal were cowering and Petey and Lucky had flopped over.

"I wonder what you are doing." Created Ibis asked Serval.

"Umm... Trying to figure out how to climb that mountain." She said pointing at the mountain behind them.

"I can see that one has wings." Created Ibis said, nodding over to Petey's unconscious body.

"Yeah... but how are we going to get up the mountain?" Serval and Caracal asked.

"My plan is, that one carries you two. And I carry those two children." Crested Ibis suggested.

As Caracal and Serval thought about the plan. Petey woken up and started getting up.

"Well I guess." Caracal finally said. "But if he eats us. I will haunt you."

"Oh I doubt he will." Crested Ibis said. "He seems like he's your friend."

Once Kaban and Serval explained the plan to Petey. He simply made a noise. But he opened his mouth, as if he was trying to tell them something.

Caracal and Serval cautiously went into his mouth before he snapped it shut. They screamed in response. And he started to fly. And Crested Ibis guided him towards the peak of the mountain.

Along the way, Crested Ibis was singing some sort of mountain song. Although Petey couldn't understand what she was saying. Her squawky voice made it hard for him to consternate.

Kaban and Kyururu were enjoying Crested Ibis' song and the view from the air. But were also afraid if Crested Ibis would drop them.

"View is nice, isn't it?" Crested Ibis asked them.

"Yeah it is!" Kyururu responded. "It's lovely from this angle!"

"Being a bird friend really makes sightseeing more enjoyable." Crested Ibis nodded. "Unfortunately not every friend has wings."

As they reached the top. There was a giant meadow. With a building not too far from it. This made Kaban and Kyururu curious.

Petey made a inhaling noise, before spitting out Caracal and Serval. They were covered in his saliva.

"Eww!" Caracal said in disgust. "I am never doing that again."

"Same here." Serval said displeased.

"There's the Japari Cafe." Crested Ibis pointed out. "It's where I drink tea with Alpaca-San."

"Alpaca?" Yoshi said as he fluttered up from the mountain.

"Alpaca-San makes amazing tea." Crested Ibis said dreamily. "It warms my throat and I can sing better. By the way, do you want to stop and rest there for a while?" Crested Ibis asked.

"Sure!" Serval shouted springing with excitement.

Petey just flopped on the ground and started to snore.

"Oh my, I guess he isn't coming." Crested Ibis said quietly.

Once they entered the Japari Cafe. Alpaca was already waving at them.

"Oh, come in! Come in! Please take a seat!" She motivated.

Scarlet Ibis and Black-Headed Ibis were already there. They waved over to them, indicating for them to join them. When they sat down Alpaca had already rushed out with a tea set and handed them each a cup.

"Here you go!" She said cheerfully. Pouring them each a cup of tea.

"Thank you." Everyone said.

Yoshi eyed the tea, he did not know what it was. So he took a drink from it. Or, he stuck out his tongue and spit out an empty cup.

"It's warm, but delicious." Yoshi said.

"Um, how often do you come here?" Kaban asked Crested Ibis.

"We come here almost everyday!" Scarlet Ibis announced. "It makes Scarlet Ibis' throat warm for singing!"

"I enjoy the tea..." Murmured Black-Headed Ibis. "But I don't sing very well..."

"By the way Alpaca." Yoshi asked. "Did you find a battery anywhere?"

"I don't recall- oh deary me! There was one charging on the rooftop!" She exclaimed.

The others followed Suri Alpaca to the roof. Alpaca opened a cabinet, Inside was a charging battery, it's meters were all glowing. Which meant the battery was fully charged.

"The Battery is fully charged." Lucky beeped. "Now the Japari Bus can be fully restored."

Lucky Beast took the battery and put it in his storage compartment in his back.

After that they returned to where Petey was lounging. A lift was close by.

"I hope you find what your looking for!" Alpaca called out as everyone climbed aboard the Ski-lift.

"Thank You!" Kyururu called out as they took off.

Yoshi, Scarlet Ibis, Black-headed Ibis and Alpaca waved goodbye. Crested Ibis joined them.

But what they didn't know was that Petey was drooling when he was sleeping. And the roots nearby had started to bubble.

Back in the Savanna...

Hippo was drinking water when two friends walked up to her.

"Do you know where a two friends with hats when to? ~noda?" Asked a friend that looked like a Raccoon. Along with a friend with two large ears.

"Arai-San got lost along that way~." The friend said who's name was Fennec.

"Yeah, they went that way." Hippo said while pointing at the mountain in the distance.

"Arai-San will catch those crook hat snatchers!" Arai-San shouted as she took off running.

"Thanks for the help~." Fennec said as she followed Arai-San.

That's when Arai-San and Fennec stopped at boulder. Arai-San stepped on something that gave out a loud shriek.

"What was that?!" Arai-San shouted.

A angry looking plant willowed up from the grass. Followed by three more. Piranha Plants.

"Those are weird looking friends~." Fennec stated.

"Is this how we die?" Arai-San whimpered as the plants closed in, chomping rapidly at them.

Part 3: Desert Area

BGM: Desert (Super Mario Bros.)

The next area to the mountain, was the desert. Unlike the other areas. This one was rather bland. Old skeleton bones, very little cactuses, and. SAND. Short rocky sand and distant sand dunes and hills in the distance. It wasn't a very nice place. Although the friends said there was an oasis nearby, where they could get some water.

"How far is the oasis Lucky?" Kaban trudged.

"The nearest oasis is 0.7 miles for our current destination." Lucky calculated.

As the group trudged farther though the desert. More sand began to pick up. As if wind was constantly blowing.

"Why is the sand slowly moving upwards?" Kyururu asked.

Almost as soon as Kyururu had said that. Lucky's eyes began to flash red. And a warning alarm kept beeping from him.

"Warning!" He shouted. "A incoming sandstorm has been detected."

"Sandstorm?" Caracal asked.

The sandstorm wasn't anything big. It was sand constantly blowing left or right, on then off. Then it started only blowing right.

It wasn't much harm to the group. Other than Petey kept swallowing sand. Then shooting sandballs in random directions. And sand getting in the friends' eyes.

After being thrown right for a long time, the sandstorm finally stopped, and they landed on a hill, the oasis was directly below.

"Finally we're here!" Caracal shouted.

The oasis was a series of palm trees and grass. And a giant waterhole. In which three friends were drinking and bathing in it.

"Do you wish to take a break here?" Lucky asked Kaban.

"Sure, the desert's hot. So I guess we can relax and refuel here." She responded.

A friend swam up to them and struck her 'intimidating' pose.

"You!" She tried to sound tough. "Where did you come from."

"We come from the Savanna." Caracal responded. "Although Crested Ibis comes from the Mountain."

"Oh, just let them be." Malayan Tapir said nervously . "They won't hurt us."

Southern Tamandua lowered her arms, but still eyed them suspiciously. Especially Petey.

"Well I guess we can share the water." Southern Tamandua sighed. But almost as soon as she said this. Petey jumped, front flipped into the water and dove it. Making a huge wave with his splash. It also washed up Sand Cat.

Petey did not come up from under the water for several minutes. Which worried Serval.

"Who is that big friend?!" Sand Cat asked Serval excitedly.

"His name is Petey." Serval responded. "I think he's a mutant Plant."

"Mutant plants are boring." Sand Cat said disappointedly. She lost her interest as soon as she received it.

This seemed to annoy Serval. But she didn't comment anything. The others just soaked in the oasis.

"Anyway, What brings you to the desert?" Malayan Tapir asked.

"We are trying to get to the library." Serval said.

"Sand Cat knows a short cut!" Sand Cat exclaimed. This got everyone excited.

"It's at Sand Cat's home. I'll lead you there if you want." She said.

But then Petey flew out of the water with a painful yelp. And landed halfway across the oasis.

"Wh-w-w-w-What happened?" Malayan Tapir trembled. And hugged Southern Tamandua, who put up her intimidating pose.

The water shook and rumbled. And a big, spiky, slimy root popped out of the water. It had two smaller roots, it was Naval Piranha. But it's face was replaced by a giant eye. It's smaller roots had a single eye as well.

"A Cerulean!?" Everyone yelled.

BGM: Cerulean (Kemono Friends)

The Cerulean roared before slamming it's smaller root at the friends'. Malayan Tapir screamed and huddled down, trembling and covering her head.

Serval tried to claw the Cerulean's X shaped Sandstar point on its front. But it's smaller root blocked the attack.

"It's covering it's weak spot!" Caracal shouted.

Crested Ibis sung a painful song. The song itself was like it was labeled: Power Song. The friends glowed orange. And a label appeared that said: POW^.

But Crested Ibis kept singing painful songs, which stunned the Cerulean. All the songs were sung like helpful songs. Power Song, Speed Song, Armor Song, Regen Song, then Comet Song. Multiple Meteors started raining on the Cerulean's heart through a rift between worlds. Dealing over 100 damage. Then a Comet, or when a entered earth, a giant Frozen Meteor appeared through the rift. The glass shards, which kept it frozen in time, shattered. The Meteor hit the Cerulean with a brute force impact, creating a shockwave that dealt 550 CRITICAL! Damage to the Cerulean. The Cerulean cried in pain. But the Cerulean wasn't dead. And the songs tired out Crested Ibis.

"Woah Toki!" Serval exclaimed. "I didn't know you could do this!"

After the Meteor Shower. More labels appeared over the friends.

SPD^ DEF^ ACCURACY^ SPIRIT^ and restored 1000 HP to each friend.

The Cerulean roared, and three other ceruleans popped up from the ground. They were shaped like a Goomba, Koopa Troopa, and a Piranha Plant.

"Here I go!" Serval shouted as she punched the Cerulean Goomba, it dealt 500 damage. As a result, it exploded into Sandstar bits. Caracal clawed the Koopa Troopa, it countered the attack, but only made Caracal loose 1hp before she used her increased Speed to defeat it. Sand Cat and Southern Tamandua punched and kicked the Cerulean Piranha Plant.

All the formers were almost defeated. The giant Naval Cerulean was weak and ready to be killed.

Before anyone could receive the final blow. Petey jumped out of nowhere. And tackled the giant Cerulean. Rapidly roaring and biting it. Petey then hopped to the shoreline and shot a giant fireball at it. Knocking it backwards. Then Petey flapped upwards and breathed a deadly blizzard out of his mouth, freezing the Cerulean. Then unleashed what was the smallest chunk of hell out of his mouth. You could almost hear the screams, Melting the Cerulean into deep fried pieces. Petey quickly flopped into the water and opened his mouth. Eating the entire Cerulean.

BGM Ends. BGM: Desert (Super Mario World)

Everyone was wide eyed and their jaws dropped. Almost hitting the ground. No friend had seen power this big. Not even as powerful as the Beast Friend or Barbary Lion.

Petey jumped downwards to the sand and vomited a large amount of Sandstar chunks.

Soon Naval Piranha popped back into existence. Unconscious but alive. The Goomba, Koopa Troopa and Piranha Plant also popped back and were alive.

And then a friend popped back out. Since she wasn't fully composed by the Cerulean. She was still in her friend form.

"Aardwolf?!" Sand Cat shouted. Aardwolf groaned in response.

"Thank goodness she's still alive!" Crested Ibis smiled.

Petey had taken a sample of Sandstar. His body shook and he spit out fire. But the fire was more deadly than average fire. The Sandstar had made his fire, Bowser tier.

The Goomba and the Koopa Troopa had already ran off. But the Piranha Plant slept on the shoreline. Not knowing about the Sandstar that touched him. The Sandstar had transformed him into a. Piranha Plant friend?!

It's mouth was her hoodie. She was wearing a jacket supporting Piranha Plants' colors the jacket collar resembled its stem, Her eyes were green. And her blouse seemed to have a pattern resembling pipes.

Petey Piranha had a uncomfortable and shocked expression on his face. His minion had turned into a human, and somehow turned from male to female.

Piranha groaned. As she got up, then she ran over to Petey.

"M-my lord. I'm sorry for failing you!" She pleaded. "Wait I can TALK?!"

Petey made grunts that translated to "Why'd this happen"

"I'm very sorry! I promise I won't get eaten by those gooey things again!" She cried

"No, how'd you turn into a human?"

"Oh, I think that weird sparkly dust turned me into a 'friend'"

"You May go. Please get out of my sight."

"Yessir." She said. Before skipping away. Not before she glared at the group. Who were still paralyzed in shock.

"Whadda Y'all lookin at?" She snapped. Before smiling. "I was joking. See y'alls later!" Then she ran off.

All of them including Petey, the Goomba, Koopa Troopa and a passing Hammer Bro were staring with their mouths open wide. Eventually they blinked twice and tried to understand what was all happening.

"No information was found on that friend." Lucky said which snapped everyone back into reality.

"So..." Sand Cat finally said. "You were wondering about that shortcut?"

"Yeah..." Caracal agreed.

Aardwolf yawned and sat back up. "That was a weird dream." She said sheepishly.

"What'd you dream about?" Serval tried to say cheerfully.

"A-a Cerulean ate me, which k-kinda looked like a giant plant. T-then a p-Plant took form of a friend." Aardwolf stuttered, her face started to turn red. "You were wondering about a shortcut?"

"You mean what just happened two minutes ago?" Southern Tamandua said in response.

Aardwolf gasped, then started trembling. "Y-you mean I-it was real?"

"Nevermind." Serval said quickly. "Let's go. Find that shortcut!" She said.

Aardwolf and Sand Cat guided them through the desert. Nothing much to see other than sand. But it still fascinated everyone, except Petey.

"Aaannnd. We're here!" Aardwolf announced.

"Where's here?" Kyururu asked.

"Our den!" Sand Cat replied. Then she started digging rapidly fast. To an entrance buried underneath the sand. Then she dug another hole which leaded to some sort of bus stop.

Sand Cat pointed west. "That leads towards the snowy mountains." She explained. "It's the closest route to the library."

"Thanks for your help!" Kaban called as they walked down the road.

"Anytime!" Aardwolf called back as Sand Cat looked curiously at a pile of bones that slowly started to reassemble.

Part 5: Snowy Mountains

BGM: Snow (Super Mario World)

Ahead was the snowy mountains. Luckily the Ice King didn't bring a visit, it was snowing lightly but not a blizzard.

"Frozen water?" Serval said while taking a bite of snow.

"It's like everything is made of water." Caracal said.

"I know I can't stand heat." Crested Ibis said. "But this is just as bad as the desert." She shivered.

Kyururu took out her sketchbook. It was a picture of giant hills that looked like mushrooms. And clouds low to the ground. And snowflakes were drawn all over. A colorful arranged in the air in a wavy like matter.

"It looks pretty!" Serval exclaimed.

"Yeah." Kyururu agreed. "But I don't know where those mushroom hills are."

But as they were looking at the picture a mountain came into view.

"Maybe it's there?" She asked.

"I don't know." Kyururu responded.

"A hot spring is nearby. A snowstorm is issued for our area. Would you like to take shelter there?" Lucky informed.

"Okay!" Kaban said.

Lucky guided them towards the east. And dark gray clouds started homing in.

Along the way Serval's big ears picked up something. "I hear something!" She said.

It wasn't two far. Two foxes, red and silver were stuck in a snow made igloo. Some sort of living snowman or snow golem was trying to get them out.

Serval and Caracal helped the snowman get them out. It was Silver Fox and Ezo Red Fox.

"Thanks for getting us out." Silver Fox said softly. The snowman and Serval nodded.

"How'd you get stuck in the first place?" Crested Ibis asked. The snowman nodded in agreement.

Silver Fox blushed and said. "Um, we heard something in that snow house over there. So we did our jumping attack and got stuck. The snowman tried getting us out for awhile."

"You're clumsiness and your weird gadgets are almost as the same as Serval's clumsiness." Caracal replied.

"If you want to warm up." Ezo Red Fox asked. "Our house is right over there." She pointed at a steamy cloud. Followed by a hot spring inn. They followed Silver Fox and Ezo Red Fox into the inn. The snowman stood a foot away.

"Oh I guess he'll melt." Ezo Red Fox said sadly.

The snowman waved goodbye and went back into his igloo.

Once they entered the hot springs. Everyone began to relax and the other friends entered the water.

"Hey Silver Fox. Can I play games yet?" Ezo Red Fox asked.

"Not until you get a bath." Silver Fox instructed.

"Boo..." Ezo Red Fox replied.

The others entered the water. Kaban and Kyururu stared at them, then Kaban said. "Wouldn't you take your clothes off before you go in?" Kaban asked.

"What're clothes?" Caracal asked.

"Y'know, these." She pulled on her red shirt.

"THEY CAN COME OFF!?" Everyone exclaimed.

The others started to unzip their clothing. Kaban, Kyururu and Petey all had nervous faces. Petey burrowed into the snow and hid. Kaban and Kyururu looked away.

Once everyone was in the water. They all settled down.

"Ah, this feels nice..." Caracal said.

Silver Fox grabbed a soap bar that looked like a Japari Bun. And started washing Ezo Red Fox's back.

"Remember to wash behind both of your ears." She reminded her.

"Yeah, Yeah. Can I go now?" Ezo Red Fox replied.

Once everyone was done bathing and Petey was out hiding. They entered the inn. Petey barley fit through the doorway.

Ezo Red Fox turned on a TV. And put a screen with two different colored sticks on the end, one silver and one red. Into a TV adapter. The screen showed up on the TV. The game that was started was called. Nintendo Switch Online. Nintendo Entertainment System. Once the loading was done. Ezo Red Fox started up a game called. Donkey Kong.

"What's that?" Serval asked while pointing at the screen.

"It's called a video game." Ezo Red Fox replied. "Wanna try?"

Serval grabbed the controller and Ezo Red Fox explained the controls. Serval got ahold of it pretty quickly. The game was about a tiny man running around a construction site. Swinging hammers and breaking barrels for 100 points. Or leaping over them. While a giant monkey threw barrels in your direction. A girl at the top kept screaming 'Help!'

"This is fun!" Serval exclaimed happily.

"I want to try!" Caracal said after Serval passed the level.

After defending the game. It showed a cutscene where the monkey fell on his head, while the man reunited with his girlfriend.

"Want to try a different one?" Ezo Red Fox asked. Then she loaded up a game called Super Mario Bros.

Ezo Red Fox handed Silver Fox, Serval and Caracal a smaller controller. It was required to hold it sideways.

The character select screen had four characters to choose from. Of course one was called Mario. The others were in the following. Another tiny man, wearing a white cap instead of red. And white overalls. Was named Luigi. A small mushroom like person named. Yellow Toad. The other that was similar was called. Blue Toad. While the group happily played the game and got to world 8-4 where a dragon like person called Bowser. Kept throwing hammers and blowing fire so the gang could reach an axe.

Kyururu, Kaban and Crested Ibis cheered them on. While Petey growled and snarled at the man wearing the red overalls. Petey remembered how that same man sprayed water repeatedly in his mouth. Then butt-bouncing on his belly button to defeat him. Not only once but twice.

Then at the end. The four reached the end where a princess thanked them for saving them.

Everyone except Petey cheered. As the Fox Sisters never reached the end before.

"That was fun!" Serval said after the snowstorm. "I want to try it again someday!"

After the game. Serval and Co. headed towards the tunnel up ahead.

"You take care now." Silver Fox said. Handing them a potion. "It's called formula 4-XZ. I think it increases your everything when in a battle." She said. "It's for helping me clear that stressful game!"

"Bye! See you later!" Kaban called off as the foxes waved goodbye.

"C'mon Silver Fox! Let's grind at the second one. The lost levels!" Ezo Red Fox pleaded. Silver Fox followed behind.

Part 6: Plains Area.

BGM: Super Bell Hill (Super Mario 3D World)

After walking for around an hour the end of the tunnel lead towards the plains area. A giant grassy meadow with very little trees were in plain sight. It almost reminded Petey of his home place.

Everyone walked around gazing at the beautiful plains, before nearly getting poked by two spear-looking sticks. Two friends; Arabian Oryx and Thompson's Gazelle blocked their path.

"Who are you and where did you come from?" Arabian Oryx by the name of RabiRabi asked.

"I don't want to hurt you!" Thompson's Gazelle named Ruru said.

The others nervously stared at RabiRabi and Ruru before Kyururu answered the question.

"Uh, We come from the Savanna, Crested Ibis comes from the mountain. And he, I'm not sure." She replied.

RabiRabi and Ruru were confused by this answer. But wouldn't take it as an option.

"You will come with us. You may talk with General Lion about this." RabiRabi said, guarding the group behind them. As Ruru lead the way.

After aggressively escorting them, they came across a dojo. In which the two guards guided the group in. Petey, who was too big to fit inside the dojo, waited outside. Under the heavy guard of Ruru.

Inside, where they were thrown into a office looking room. Two silhouettes with glowing yellow eyes.

"Take a seat!" One shouted. The others did as they were told. Still shaking nervously.

"You may go." The other said, indicating towards RabiRabi.

Once RabiRabi shut the door both silhouettes walked forwards. It was Lion and Barbary Lion. Both seemed to have a intense aura.

"What brings you here?" Barbary Lion asked coldly.

"U-uh, We come from the Savanna." Kaban said. The others nervously nodded.

Lion smiled. Then stretched out on the floor. "Well, I don't see a threat in you. You can relax y'know." Lion yawned.

The others were confused, while Barbary Lion just looked at Lion.

"Why do you always do that?" She asked.

Lion ignored her question. "So what does bring you here, you're lucky you came before the war."

"War?" The others asked.

"General Moose picked a fight again." Barbary Lion replied. "She never learns."

"Ugh, why can't she just leave us alone?" Lion whined.

Kyururu and Kaban thought for awhile before coming up with an idea.

"Why not just get your army and attack Moose?" Kaban suggested. "Fight off Moose's minions and then when it gets down to just you two. Battle it out and see who wins."

Lion and Barbary Lion thought the strategy was a great idea. And they nodded in approval.

"I can't believe we haven't though of that." Barbary Lion said intrigued.

"That might work!" Lion exclaimed standing up. "We might get our differences aside and she won't attack anymore!"

After the meeting was adjourned. Lion and her army as well as Serval and Co. walked outside to see Moose and her army of Crested Porcupine, Black and Whits Rhinoceros, and Shoebill were already at the midpoint of the turf.

"Ah, so we finally meet again. General Lion!" Moose challenged. "This time I will win for sure!"

"I wouldn't count on it!" Lion yelled back.

Petey waddled up towards the armies readying their assault. He just sat down, when a hammer came closing in on White Rhinoceros.

"Princess! Watch out!" Black Rhino shouted. Using her steel sword the deflect the hammer.

"Oh my, What was that?" White Rhino asked. Everyone else seemed confused.

"We'll be taking both your turfs!" Shouted a sinister voice.

Four figures walked up to the friends. One was a Goomba wearing a flag, followed by a Koopa Troopa, Boo, and Shy Guy. All wearing the same flag. They had a army of their own consisting of Hammer Bros, Sludge Bros, Goombas, Goombrats, Boos, Shy Guys, Koopa Troopas, Stalking Piranha Plants, Piranha Beans, Para-Troopas and Para-Goombas, Bill Blasters and a Big-Tailed Goomba.

"Who the heck are you?" Moose demanded.

"We are Bowser's Minions!" Captain Goomba shouted back. "Surrender your turf before we take it from you."

"I've never seen you before, or heard of Bowser's Minions!" Moose replied. "But if it's a fight you want! It's a fight you'll get!"

Everyone stared at each other for awhile. The silence was uncomfortable.

"So, how do you want to do this?" Captain Goomba asked.

Kyururu instantly jumped up and told them her idea,

"Why not play 'capture the flag'?" She suggested.

"What in tarnation is that?" Barbary Lion asked,

Once she had asked that Kyururu started explaining.

"Since those guys are wearing flags. I thought the game would be settling for the battle your going to have. Since you have flags." Kyururu pointed at the minions. "Then they would have flags also." She pointed at Lion and Moose. "The objective is to defeat each other's minions and try to capture each other's flags by plucking them out of their head! To make the fight fair. Moose and Lion, are you comfortable teaming up?"

Lion and Moose awkwardly stared at each other. "Sure." They replied.

Their minions shook hands. Representing they were on the same side.

"That Guy can join their team!" Moose said pointing at Petey. "He seems rough and tough. Plus he doesn't fit with our team, and besides! I want a challenge anyway!"

Petey walked over to his side. He was clearly the general of their team.

"Yeah, I kinda like this idea." Captain Koopa Troopa said. "Makes things fair."

Serval, Caracal, Ruru and RabiRabi were given red flags to put on their head. Lion and Moose had flags with the Japari Park logo on it.

Captain Goomba, Captain Shy Guy, Captain Koopa Troopa, and Captain Boo had the same red flags. But Petey had a flag that had Bowser's logo on it.

Each of Bowser's Minions split into four groups. Petey subsided into the last group. Indicating he was the boss.

"On your marks..." RabiRabi announced. "Get set. CHARGE!" Team Serval and Co. advanced into the first wave.

BGM: A Battle Brawl! (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey)

As Team Japari Park advanced forwards, the first wave was a pack of Goombas and Goombrats. Lead by Captain Goomba.

Round 1. FIGHT!

"I'm not afraid of you!" Captain Goomba shouted as he rammed into Serval. The Goomba team started fighting as well.

Suddenly Crested Ibis started squawking her tone-deaf song.

Everyone keep your spirits up!

I know your power and strength can defeat them!

Lalala!~

Once this happened everyone's stats changed to. SPIRIT^ POW^ and DEF^

"Don't give up hope!" Captain Goomba shouted. And his allies stats also changed to SPIRIT^ and POW^

A first flock of Goombas charged forwards ramming into Serval, Caracal and Crested Porcupine.

"Yowch!" Serval shouted in pain. And she fell backwards loosing her balance. Soon a Goomba swarm started head butting her. She was draining health quickly.

"Serval!" Caracal shouted. "Meow! Meow! Meow! Meow! Meeeow!" Caracal screamed as she continually clawed at Goombas surrounding Serval. Those Goombas had bandages and some were sent flying.

"We need backup! Hurry!" Captain Goomba shouted.

Soon a Sledge Bro and three Hammer Bros. came.

The Sledge Bro jumped up and slammed into the ground with his tremendous weight. Stunning all of Team Japari.

"What j-just h-appened?" Ruru rattled. Then a giant flock of Hammers flew their way.

The spam of hammers rapidly hit the friends. And the lucky winner of getting the Sledge Hammer was Serval. However Crested Porcupine got scared and curled up into a spiky ball. Deflecting some hammers, sending them back to the Hammer Bros.

"Owie! Ughhhh." Serval moaned before flopping on the ground. Her heath had deplete

"Serval!" RabiRabi shouted frightened. She picked her up and held her over her shoulder.

"Ruru's going to make you pay!" Ruru shouted in a war cry tone. Before trying to stab Captain Goomba.

"Not on my watch!" A Hammer Bro shouted. He flung a hammer and hit Ruru straight in the head.

Successfully denied plus damage!

"Ruru are you okay?" RabiRabi asked.

She groaned in response rubbing her forehead.

"Okay! Time to get serious!" Barbary Lion shouted

She roared her loudest, which scared some of the enemies. Before lunging and repeatedly clawing the Hammer Bros. They were defeated almost instantly.

"Barbary Lion your so cool!" Serval moaned, before passing out again.

"Hang in their Serval!" RabiRabi grunted. Serval was still swung on her back.

Then Shoebill rammed into Captain Goomba. He burst out stars and disappeared. She plucked his flag in the process.

"Oh crud!" The other Goombas trembled and ran away,

"Yeah! We got one down!" Moose shouted while punching the air.

Team Japari advanced forwards. The second wave was Captain Koopa Troopa and his flock of Para-Troopas, Sledge and Hammer Bros. And many Koopa Troopas.

On the way, all the battle wounds were healed and Serval was revived.

"This time don't be so clumsy." Caracal reminded her.

Then all the Koopa Troopas ducked into their shells and came back out. Koopa Troopas DEF^

"Charge!" Captain Koopa Troopa shouted.

The Koopas retreated into their shells and performed a circle, in which they spun around at high speeds. Before ramming into everyone. The force was so strong that it repeatedly drained health from Team Japari.

Then the Hammer Bros started spamming their hammers.

"Not on my watch!" Moose yelled and deflected all the hammers with her antlers. The Sledge Hammer hit her in the stomach.

"Oof!" Moose gasped. Then the Sledge Bro swung with all his might and knocked Moose into her group.

"Is, is everyone o-Okay?" Moose wheezed. Her health nearly depleted.

"Take this." Shoebill said. Hand a Japari Bun to Moose. She ate it up and it restored 100HP

"Thanks!" Moose said back.

Soon the Para-Troopas started dive bombing into Crested Porcupine. It hurt them instead of her, because she was still in a ball.

"I am fed up with this!" Crested Ibis shouted glowing and the sky darkened.

"Wh-What's happening?" Serval said utterly scared.

Crested Ibis inhaled before releasing a painful song.

Everyone you can do this!~

I can be a help too!~

Just reach for the stars of the cosmic wave!~

Lalala!~

"What was that?" Barbary Lion asked. Then she peered at Serval and Caracal. Who's faces turned to pure fright.

"Why's the ground rumbling?" RabiRabi asked.

Eventually a loud bang which nearly broke the sound barrier was heard. It was almost like glass shards broke from the sky,

"What was that?" Serval asked covering her ears from the sudden boom.

Soon a large crack appeared in the sky above them. The Rift started spitting out meteorites again. Repeatedly striking the Koopas, and for the second time today. We see that giant Frozen Meteor, in which it unfroze and headed straight for the Koopa Pack. Creating a massive shockwave defeating all the minions. Captain Koopa Troopa burst into stars. And Crested Ibis plucked his flag.

"Wh-What was that?" Lion asked in disbelief.

"I call it Cosmic Song." Crested Ibis replied.

The gang charged forwards again. All their HP fully restored.

An army of Shy Guys followed. As well as a group of Boos. Lead by Captain Shy Guy and Captain Boo.

Three Shy Guys carrying Bill Blasters marched forwards. One Blaster had a odd logo on it. Having a Shoe instead of a skull.

There wasn't very many Boos. Only a regular one and a Big one.

Round 3. Fight!

The Shy Guys threw down the Blasters behind them before jumping on top of them.

"Fire!" Captain Shy Guy ordered.

2 Bullet Bills fired from the cannons. A odd Bullet Bill wearing a shoe. Called Shoebill. Fired from the Blaster with the Shoe on it.

The two Bullet Bills hit Caracal and Barbary Lion. Creating a strong explosion. Shoebill jumped to avoid the Shoebill. But the Bullet Bill jumped as well, hitting Shoebill, knocking her down almost instantly. When the shoe landed on her, her heath depleted entirely.

"Oh no!" Moose yelled as she grabbed Shoebill and sling her over her shoulder.

"Hey where are those ghosts?" Caracal asked rubbing her head.

Soon three boos laughed. Before any of them could turn around. Captain Boo rammed into Lion, the Boo hit Moose and Big Boo shot a ghostly substance out of his mouth. Hitting Crested Ibis, Serval and RabiRabi in a straight line.

"Good thinking Boo!" Captain Shy Guy yelled back.

When his back was turned, Barbary Lion had ran and defeated all of the Boo and Shy Guy Minions. She couldn't get rid of the Bill Blasters though.

"Backup! Hurry!" Captain Shy Guy shouted.

Soon two Spear Guys appeared, shoving a larger Bill Blaster.

Captain Shy Guy climbed atop and shouted. "Fire!"

All the Bill Blasters shot, three Bullet Bills and one very large Bill. The Banzai Bill.

"Oh crap!" Lion shouted. It was too late to run away. The Banzai Bill had already It it's impact. And created a long powerful explosion. Nearly defeating all the Japari allies.

The Spear Guys charged forward. Poking the friends with their spears.

"Ouch! Quit!" Caracal shouted while being poked rapidly while trying to fend off the Spear Guys.

"You think you can defeat m-" Captain Shy Guy didn't finish his sentence before Serval ran up to him

"Cat Punch!" She hollered. And Captain Boo and Shy Guy burst into stars. Serval grabbed their flags.

"Only one more to go..." Crested Ibis said.

They marched forwards with four flags. They only needed to claim the general's flag. Which Petey wore on his head. Petey's group marched towards them as well. A army consisting of Stalking Piranha Plants. Piranha Bean. Piranha Plants, and the Big-Tailed Goomba. The other fallen captains were there too.

"This time we won't loose!" Captain Goomba shouted. "We have Bowser's strongest officer with us!"

Petey made a grunt that sound like an agreement.

"Well we have your flags. Take em'. We can fight you and Serval's buddy." Lion said. Tossing the captains their flags.

"C'mon get fired up!" Moose shouted. Labels appeared before them POW^ SPEED^ SPIRIT^

Round 4. FIGHT!

Petey roared which made everyone jump. Eventually his army had the same labels.

POW^ SPEED^ DEF^ ACCURACY^ SPIRIT^

"Petey, I don't want to hurt you!" Serval said apolitically. "But I must win!"

Serval took out a bottle

"NYAA!" She meowed. Throwing the bottle on the ground. It was formula-XZ.

Soon everyone was glowing red and had a crazed look.

Their stats became POW^ SPEED^ DEF^ ACCURACY^ SPIRIT^ !FURY

Barbary Lion made a war scream and Petey made a war roar. And the rumble was on.

The Goomba had already started head butting Caracal with his power up and defense up, and vise versa for Caracal. The battle was even. But Caracal's attacks were faster because of her fury.

"You want to fight?" Caracal yelled. "Meow! Meow! Meow!" She clawed him, causing him to stagger backwards. The Stalking Piranha Plants avenged him by shooting fireballs at Serval, Caracal and Crested Ibis. Piranha Bean was busy taking on Moose

"You can't possibly defeat me-" before she could finish Captain Shy Guy rammed into her back. And fell onto the ground. With her big antlers it was difficult for her to get up.

After that the enemies had a major gang bang, constantly ramming and punching her. Eventually when they left her. She was beat up severely. She was unconscious, and her flag was missing.

"No! Moose!" Ruru and RabiRabi shouted. Captain Goomba had replaced his flag with hers. And stood up triumphantly.

"Hah! I told you, you couldn't defeat-" Barbary Lion punched him as hard as she could

"MMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeee..." His voice echoed until a flop was heard meters away.

Piranha Bean then head butted Barbary Lion, which she turned around to face him. Only to be bitten in the tail by a Stalking Piranha Plant.

She Yelped and tried to shake him off. Only to be flung sideways.

Captain Shy Guy has already started to try and build a Bill Blaster. But Crested Ibis flung him away with her intense song shockwave.

Captain Koopa Troopa retreated in his shell, only to be kicked and knocked away the Stalking Piranha Plants and Piranha Bean.

All that was left was Captain Boo, Big-tailed Goomba and Petey Piranha.

Captain Boo cowardly ran away. But Big-Tailed Goomba saw different. He instantly ran up and rammed hard into Lion.

"Ouch! This guy's tough!" She grunted. Only to be shaken off by his large tail.

Although Petey didn't know what were his friends or not. He went into crazy psycho mode. He started ramming into Shoebill, who she easily blocked him off. But this was only a diversion. As Big-Tailed Goomba had already knocked her out. Seven friends remain.

Petey then inhaled and shot a fireball at Ruru and RabiRabi. They tried to deflect it with their spears, only to be burnt and unconscious. Five friends remain.

Petey preformed a dropkick on Crested Ibis which defeated her almost instantly. His intense weight and strength couldn't match any friends' strength. Four friends remain.

"Wait Petey!" Serval cried. "We're your friends."

Petey sinisterly turned towards Serval and summoned a mini tornado. Causing her to be blown backwards.

Petey now flew upwards and somersaulted downwards. Creating dirt balls, knocking Barbary Lion and Caracal down.

Petey looked like he was going to eat Lion so she closed her eyes and waited to be gnawed on until her bones snapped.

PLUCK!

When she opened her eyes. Petey had plucked her flag and stood lifelessly. Staring forwards.

Petey no longer had a deadly aura. And now returned to normal.

Captain Goomba groaned. And looked up. When he saw Lion's flag in his hand. He started cheering.

"YES WE DID IT!" He cried. "I KNEW WE WERE UNBEATABLE!"

Petey placed the flag on his head and smiled a smug smile. And made a chuckle sound.

Lion lowered her head in shame. "We-we lost."

Captain Shy Guy walked up to her and said firmly. "Keep your territories. We don't really need three to watch over."

Moose sighed in relief. "What a relief!" She sighed.

Goomba and his minions continued onwards towards the forest. And a Petey joined Serval again.

BGM Ends.

Kaban and Kyururu ran up to them.

"So, who won?" Kaban asked.

"They did..." Moose said displeased pointing her thumb at the still smug looking Petey.

"Well, I'm glad you settled your differences." Kyururu said.

Moose then turned to Lion. "Want to do it again sometime?" She asked

"Sure" Lion responded. Barbary Lion nodded her head in response.

Kyururu then held up her hands and shouted. "Wait! I don't want you to hurt yourselves again. Why not try basketball instead?" She suggested.

"Basketball?" Everyone except Petey and Kaban asked.

"Well, there's that basketball over there." She pointed at a basketball with the Japari Park logo on it. "And you try to shoot the ball in that basket." She nodded towards a court with a basket in it.

"Ohh! It looks fun!" Lion said.

"We would love to stay but we have to go." Kaban said. "We are on our way to the library to repair our bus."

"Okay! Drop by anytime if you'd like." Barbary Lion for the first time said kindly.

Eventually White and Black Rhinoceros clanked up behind them

Black Rhino grunted. "W-we're here! Did we miss anything important?"

Everyone stared at them in disbelief. "Where were you?" Lion asked.

"We were holding off some of those tomato looking brown things. When you ran off, with our heavy armor. It was hard to catch up."

"Can't you just take it off?" Serval asked.

Black Rhino blushed. "Umm, we have nothing on underneath."

Petey looked a different direction. I'd be best not to think about that subject.

As Serval and Co. approached the Greasy Groveforest. Black and White Rhino walked up to them.

"We'd like to go with you for extra protection. Those woods can be dangerous." White Rhino said.

"Sure! Let's go!" Serval announced.

The others waved goodbye. Calling best wishes.

And then the gang headed into the Greasy Groveforest woods.

Part 7: Japari Library

BGM: Forest/Jungle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii/U)

Many landmarks were found in the forest. Though it seemed as if the forest was Weeping.

Many trees sprouted everywhere. It was a lovely sight. Rivers, flowers and Serval's favorite. A giant mossy metal mascot of a burger. It had goggly eyes melted in its head and had a giant tongue sticking out. A graffiti of what the friends thought was Oinari-Sama was painted on the tongue.

"How'd that get there?" Serval giggled after she saw it the second time.

"Looks tasty." Kaban commented.

"Should we keep moving forwards?" White Rhino suggested after the break.

As they kept moving deeper in the forest. Black and White Rhino got more defensive. To the point where a small rustle of a apple or coconut falling, would make Black Rhino shout: "Princess! Watch out!"

After a hour of walking White Rhino made an announcement. "We are nearing the meadow."

"The Japari Library is 0.6 miles from our current destination." Lucky responded.

"Thanks Lucky!" Kyururu said.

After a hour of walking, looking at beautiful flowers. Tasty fruits, old gas stations, broken houses and a old restaurant that had some Japari Buns a friend named Dhole shared with the group. Dhole giggled every time someone said the restaurant's name. Durr Burger.

Everyone wondered how such residential areas could be in the forest. Kyururu was disappointed none of them were her home. Petey thought I might have something to do with Crested Ibis' Cosmic Song or The Rocket two chapter prior. After all Petey remembered seeing a grassy area in the snow that looked similar. But the shop was selling Tacos instead of whatever this was selling.

After all Petey remembered the forest's name. Greasy Groveforest.

Eventually a roadblock was spotted on the trail they were following. And a detour pointing towards the forest was spotted.

"I guess it's this way?" Kaban asked.

Meanwhile two friends silently flew down and watched the group walk into the maze.

In the detour's trail. They came across a room with three paths. A bulletin board with writing on it was seen. Kyururu read it aloud.

"What was the original name of the town that was merged with the Groveforest of silence? Greasy Grove. Risky Reels, Savanna Area?"

"That's easy!" Serval exclaimed. "It's obviously the Savanna area!" They took the trail that had the Savanna area on it, it lead them back to the same room.

"Aw, man!" Serval groaned.

"What is this?" Crested Ibis asked.

"I think it's called Trivia." Kaban explained. "It's where people play a game when you have to answer question. It's multiple choice and you can pick one."

"Hmm." Thought Black Rhino. "If this forest was recently changed to Greasy Groveforest. Then the correct answer must be Greasy Grove!"

They hustled down the trail. Which lead into a different room. With another sign.

"Congratulations for getting the correct answer. Next question. What is the name of a drive-in theater that once played a movie called: Brace for Impact? Sunny Steps, Steamy Stacks, or Risky Reels?" Kaban read aloud.

"Sunny Steps seems like a place of sun. Not a drive in thingy. And Steamy Stacks seems like a hot Steamy place. So it has to be Risky Reels!"

They ran the path of Risky Reels. And came across a room with less sunlight. Another question awaited.

"What was the name of the famous blonde idol wearing a red ribbon? Ichigo, Yume, Ema?" Kyururu repeated.

Everyone thought. But Petey knew what Ema looked like. She had long pigtails and triangle shaped earrings. Yume had pinkish tips and did not have a ribbon. So that left Ichigo. Petey started walking down that path.

"Petey wait up!" Caracal shouted after him.

They went to the sign. It was the correct answer.

"How'd you know that?" Serval asked.

Petey coughed up a Jeweling Dress card that belonged to Hibiki. But none of the friends could understand.

"What are the names of a living brown shaped mushroom? Goomba, Goombrat, Galoomba?" Kaban squinted on this one.

"Hmm." Everyone had heard the name Goomba before. But didn't know their shape. Petey already was walking down a trail that said: Goomba.

"Hey! Wait Up!" Kyururu called after him. She was the last one down the hall.

The maze lead them into a meadow with a giant tree and a building inside.

"We're here!" Serval exclaimed. "I wonder if The Professor and The Assistant still live here."

"Well only one way to find out." Caracal said.

"Hello. My name is Professor White-Faced Owl. You may call me Professor Konoha if you wish." Said one voice slowly.

"Hello. My name is Assistant Eurasian Eagle Owl. You have permission to call me Assistant Mimi." Said another voice.

"NYAA! You came out way to quickly!" Serval gasped. As the sudden appearance of the two Owls surprised them.

BGM: Forest - Edit (Super Mario World. Super Mario Maker 2)

Inside the Library all the friends were sitting on the couch and Petey was standing on a tree branch of the big oak tree. Soon The Professor and The Assistant brought out a tea set and a tea tray.

"Come, we will have tea time." The Professor said calmly,

"We will." The Assistant said after her.

"Thank you." Everyone said.

After everyone had a teacup. The Professor asked the question.

"What brings you to the Japari Library?" She questioned.

"We brought your item you requested." Kaban replied.

"Oh yes." The Assistant replied giving a dead stare. "We can since you leave something unanswered."

"We are trying to figure out who this guy is." Caracal said as Petey jumped down. Bouncing everyone up.

Petey stared at the owls just as they were staring at him.

"I have no information on this friend!" The Assistant said confused. "How is this possible?"

"It seems as if this is a new friend." The Professor started. "Or it might be an outsider from somewhere beyond Japari Park."

"It seems as if it's some sort of plant." The Assistant replied.

"Nevermind That." The Professor studied Petey one last time. "Come with us."

The two owls lead the group outside. Where the Japari Bus was sitting in a garage.

"Serval. Did you get that tire we requested?" The Professor said plainly.

"Well, Yes. But actually no." Serval responded. Knowing the owls wouldn't be happy. Then Petey started gurgling and inhaling.

"Is he sick?" The Professor asked.

Before she could state that. Petey coughed up a lot of water and the tire Serval fed to him earlier.

"Oh! He was carrying it for us!" Caracal exclaimed.

Once the Japari Bus's wheel was back on. Lucky put the battery in the socket and it powered up.

"The Bus is fully operational." Lucky responded.

"Okay we're ready to head to Park Central!" Serval exclaimed.

The Professor and The Assistant exchanged nervous glances.

"Be careful. There was a rumor Park Central isn't looking too good." The Assistant said.

"Yes. A Cerulean took form of a moving Cellium Volcano. The whereabouts is currently unknown."

"Really?" Serval said. "We are going to head to the Japari Hotel Passenger Pigeon was talking about."

"Professor?" Crested Ibis asked. "Where is the rest of your Owl Research Team?"

"Their studying over near the snowy area. We got a report from Kyūshū Owl that mysterious cracks have started appearing."

"We Pray for your safety. Farewell!" She called as they left on their new vehicle.

BGM Ends.

The gang stopped outside of Dirty Docks where a boat was waiting to take them to the hotel. When they saw a cloud of black smoke coming from a red haze in the distance.

Final Part: The Amusement Park

"What is that?" Caracal asked. Looking at the ash cloud. Then the boat parked in front of the helipad.

BGM: Nobel Academy (Go! Princess Pretty Cure)

"Yawn~" Okinawan Habu yawned. "I'm board."

Domestic Pig walked up, cleaning the floors.

"You really love cleaning, don't you Pig-San?"

"Yes! I'm often told how surprising that is!" She said cheerfully.

"What's the point anymore?" Habu questioned. "We get no guests."

"If you keep using your venomous tongue like that. The manager will hear you." Pig reminded Habu.

"Don't worry. With ears like those there is no way-"

"Oh I heard you all right." Bat-eared Fox suddenly popped out of nowhere.

"Eep!" Habu said in shock.

"Manager!" Pig exclaimed.

"Habu. This isn't your post. Get back there!" Bat-eared Fox instructed.

"Why should I?" Habu yelled. "There literally no chance anyone would come here!"

"I'm sure they will. I mean look at this beautiful view, ours is the only with this kind of view!" She exclaimed.

"No the view sucks! The hotel is literally sinking in the ocean!" Habu countered.

"Curve that venomous tongue of yours and get back to your post!" She angrily said at Habu.

"Bleah!" Habu said sticking her tongue at her.

"Honestly." Bat Eared Fox murmured.

"Manager!" Pig called out to her.

"What's wrong?" Bat eared Fox asked.

"S-something came in!" Pig said out of breath.

"What is it?" Bat Eared Fox asked again.

"Guests!" Pig shouted.

"WHAT?!" Bat Eared Fox shouted back.

"I think Petey's too big to fit in." Serval said, trying to fit Petey in the door on the roof.

"Petey are you comfortable staying here?" Crested Ibis asked.

Petey made a noise before sitting on the concrete helipad.

Soon Pig came though the door. "Welcome to the Japari Hotel!" She said cheerfully motioning towards the door. "You're room is ready. The manager will escort you to you're room!"

The others went though the door while Pig stayed on the roof. As she had to clean it.

The room was absolutely gorgeous. A crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling. Japari Buns and soda neatly arranged on the coffee table. And seven queen sized beds for each of them. The luxury was more than anyone could imagine.

"There is a Rec Room, a indoor pool, and a amusement park inside." Bat Eared Fox reminded everyone.

"Let's go check it out!" Caracal said excitedly.

"Yeah lets go!" Serval exclaimed.

While they were walking out to check out everything Habu stayed back snickering.

"I was right! Only total weirdos come here!" She laughed.

Bat Eared Fox opened the door slightly. "I heard that."

Meanwhile on the roof. The ash cloud became more and more large. The haze became darker

"Do your friends treat you nicely?" Pig asked Petey.

He simply grunted and nodded.

"That's nice." She said cheerfully and went back to humming a tune and mopping the roof.

"Hey what's this?" Serval asked. Walking up to a door that almost looked like a shark.

"Hmm." Crested Ibis replied.

Suddenly the door swung open. "Welcome!" Habu shouted.

The friends jumped back in shock.

"Heheheh. Talk about walking straight into a snake pit." Habu chuckled.

"What is this place?" Created Ibis asked.

"This..." Habu said picking up a sign. "Is the souvenir shop!"

"What's a souvenir?" Serval asked.

"It's a good you buy during your trips, and when you look back at them it gives you memories of that time." Kaban replied.

"These are the most popular!" Habu shouted. Pointing at a shelf full of plushies.

"These are kinda of weird." Caracal mumbled, picking up a plush that looked like her.

"We've got all sorts of friends plushies!" Habu responded. "Although that one I don't remember seeing." Pointing at a plush.

The plush was in the shape of a pipe. Then a object popped out. It was a Piranha Plant.

"YAHHHH!" Habu shrieked when he popped out. "What the heck is that thing?!"

Piranha Plant unamused jumped down and waddled his pipe over to the group.

"Hey where's Black and White Rhino?" Caracal asked.

When they went back to their room. Both of them were sound asleep.

"Well I guess we should get some rest?" Kyururu suggested.

Everyone crawled into their beds. Piranha Plant shriveled up in his pipe.

Petey who was sleeping on the roof. Woke up to a violent rumble. It was coming from the red haze in the distance. Petey just went back to sleep. Knowing that Piranha Plant would protect them.

BGM Ends. BGM: Beach Theme (Super Mario 3D Land)

The next morning the group packed up and started out the door.

"I hope you enjoyed your stay!" Bat Eared Fox called out. "Make sure to tell everyone you see about our hotel!"

"We will!" Kaban called back.

Back on the roof. Petey Piranha was watching the ash cloud. It was growing bigger by the hour. But the others didn't seem to notice.

"Are you ready to go?" Serval asked.

"We'll stay here." White Rhinoceros said. "We need a lot of resting to catch up on. If you want more help. The friends at the Marine Life Park will help you."

"Okay! Thank you." Serval called as they boarded the boat.

Once they were on the ground Serval threw her fist in the air. "All right! Let's go to the Marine Life Park!" And started heading east.

"Umm. Serval? It's this way." Kaban called out to her. Pointing to a boathouse in the distance.

Once they arrived. They spotted two friends playing volleyball with a beach ball.

"Here it comes, California Sea Lion!" A friend shouted.

"Okay." Said a friend named California Sea Lion. And adjusted her glasses.

The friend named Common Bottlenose Dolphin threw the beach ball in the air. In which California Sea Lion easily bumped it back. Dolphin missed the ball. In which it hit the sand.

"California Sea Lion, three! Dolphin zero!~ Desu!" Southern Sea Otter exclaimed.

Petey and the others walked up to them. Petey made a satisfying grunt and hit the flying ball with his head in their direction.

"We have a question." Kaban asked.

"We'd love to help you." Bottlenose Dolphin said.

"But we'll need our prize first." California Sea Lion finished.

The others searched their pockets for anything. But Petey coughed up three coins.

"Is this, currency?" California Sea Lion asked.

The three of them giggled happily for they finally got a prize. The others except Petey and Piranha Plant smiled.

"Okay! What is your question~ Desu?" Southern Sea Otter asked.

"We need to know where this is." Kyururu said. Pointing at a picture in her sketchbook. It was a drawn picture of a Farris Wheel, and a few rides.

"Hmm. Isn't that Park Central?" California Sea Lion said studying the picture, adjusting her glasses.

"We know where it is!" Dolphin shouted happily.

"We can use the Japari Bus we just fixed." Caracal motioned to the bus with her hand.

"Let's use that then." California Sea Lion confirmed.

On the way. The noise of rumbling, lightning and roars were becoming more and more louder.

"What's that sound?" Serval asked. She had a frightened expression on her face.

"We don't know." Dolphin replied. "We only heard a giant Cerulean was formed not to long ago..."

They pulled into the parking lot of the Central Park. They had terrified expressions. Their Park's Capital had now become a deadly amusement park.

BGM: Volcano (New Super Mario Bros. Wii/U)

Red haze was coming from Park Central. The ash clouds were coming from the volcanos that sprung up in the distances. They all seemed to be active.

"W-w-w-What's g-going on?" Serval trembled.

After walking around the park. Many of memorable landmarks were either burnt or broken.

"This definitely isn't right." California Sea Lion said.

"The Professor said there was a giant Cerulean in the shape of a Cellium Volcano. Maybe it's the cause of this?" Crested Ibis suggested.

Then a volcano erupted. Sending small lava meteorites pummeling to the ground. Creating lava pools. Luckily none of the friends were close enough to the eruption. But the eruption did send terror through them. Molten ash particles floated through the air.

"Danger! Danger! Critical burning up ahead." Lucky suddenly shouted. In front of them laid a lava pool where the meteorites struck.

"We need to destroy That Cerulean before it destroys the park!" Caracal shouted.

As they hurried to find the Volcano Cerulean. The volcanos fired smaller meteors that didn't explode lava. But instead it fired molten rock that exploded on contact.

"We need to hurry and find it!" Kaban shouted.

When they passed the Meteor Moat. The giant Cerulean was walking around in the distance.

"There it is!" Serval shouted. The Cerulean turned and faced them.

It roared and started charging towards them. Serval and Co. readied themselves.

All of a sudden. Petey deflected it with his head. The Cerulean staggered backwards. Then it lunged at him. Petey dodged and grabbed it from behind. The Cerulean struggled to break free from his grasp.

Petey continued to lift it. Then he lifted it up. And slammed it onto the ground. And then shot a goopball at it. The Cerulean was sent flying. And destroyed a volcano when it slammed against it. The Cerulean got back up. And eyed Petey devilishly, as it only had one eye and no facial expressions. It still had a fiery glare aiming at him. Petey faced it angrily.

Before the Cerulean could get up. Petey shot a fireball at it. Causing it stagger backwards and flip on the ground. Serval saw this as an opportunity to kill it. She lunged and prepared her punch.

"Cat." She called out. "PUUUNNCH!" And she pounded the weak spot with all her strength. And it exploded into dozens of Sandstar pieces. Only a small blob of liquid Cellium remained. It's eye was still there, meaning it was alive. Unfortunately for those who didn't notice. It started slithering to Petey.

"Petey! Watch out!" Kaban cried.

It was too late. The glob started to consume Petey. But Petey realized what was going on. He started biting the eye and scratching at the tip. Eventually it exploded. What they thought was that the Cerulean was dead. But the Cellium sprayed onto Petey. And it started consuming his whole body.

BGM: Kyoudai na Teki (Kemono Friends)

"PETEY!" Kyururu screamed.

Soon the Cellium consumed his whole body. It didn't have the eye of a Cerulean. But it wasn't a Cerulean. It was possessed Petey to thinking he was a Cerulean. Suddenly he turned to face the group and let out a horrific roar.

Petey started charging at them. He was covered in glitchy green slime.

"Petey! Don't hurt us!" Serval shouted. "It's Serval, remember?!"

Petey only paused for a second. And then leapt up and tried to bite them.

"It's not gonna work!" Caracal shouted. "He's possessed!"

"Then it's time to get serious!" Serval shouted.

Crested Ibis sung her song that gave them the best effects.

Serval jumped hoping to swing at Petey. He just swat her away with a single leaf.

"Serval!" Caracal cried. "That does it! I don't care if you're our friend. YOU DON'T HURT MINE!"

She jumped and punched Petey square in the face. Then repeatedly clawed at him.

Petey threw her across to a statue of a lion. She hit it so hard that it could be heard from that far away.

Suddenly Serval jumped back onto Petey's back.

"Stop hurting our friends!" She tried as if to get his senses back. He roared in response.

He tried to grab her, she ran quicker than his arms.

"Meow! Meow! Meow! Meow! Me-Huh?" She punched the back of his head. But the weak spot wasn't there.

"Oh no!" She gasped and Petey threw her against Caracal.

They trudged back up to Petey, wounded. Crested Ibis knee she couldn't fight. But she had to do something.

Everyone are you alright?

Keep your spirits up!

I know you can win!

Soon Caracal and Serval's wounds disappeared and they gained 999HP.

"We're back to full health. But where's his weak spot?" Caracal asked.

Petey lunged ahead. But surprisingly a Banzai Bill shot from out of nowhere, and hit him square in the belly.

"Huh?" Serval asked. Then to her surprise when she turned around.

BGM: This Is Minion Turf! (Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions)

"Don't get too sappy." Captain Goomba said. "He's our officer. And your friend. So it makes sense for us to be your ally. And ALLY only."

"Yeah don't make it too weird. We're just helping you out. It looked like you needed it." Captain Koopa Troopa continued.

"We got an small army of our own. And it looks like he summoned one himself. We'll camp here and try to take them all out." Captain Shy Guy instructed.

"You all." Serval whispered trying to hold back tears. "THANK YOU ALL!"

"I told you not to be all sappy!" Captain Goomba shouted as he was being squeezed by Serval.

"Here they come." Captain Boo said motioning towards the incoming wave of Ceruleans and possessed Piranha Plants.

"Backup squad!" Captain Koopa Troopa shouted. "Come on!"

Soon a small army of two Goombas and one Goombrat. Two Koopa Troops, three Hammer Bros and one Sledge Bro. One Shy Guy carrying a Bill Blaster and two Shy Guys pushing a Banzai Blaster. And a Big Boo.

"Charge!" Captain Goomba shouted.

Serval and a Hammer Bro attacked The Cerulean Leader while the rest took on The Cerulean Minions. The Hammer Bro swung hammers at it while Serval clawed repeatedly at it.

"Not on my watch!" Captain Shy Guy shouted. And he blew a whistle. A Banzai Bill blasted from the cannon. Killing the Cerulean Leader. And its minions ran away.

"Keep marching forward!" Captain Boo motivated.

As they marched to the second wave of Possessed Piranha Plants and Ceruleans. Caracal instantly leapt onto the Black Cerulean.

"You can't defeat me!" Caracal shouted. Unfortunately she fell off.

Suddenly the Sledge Bro jumped and squashed it. And the others ran again. The Piranha Plants retreated to the Captain.

"One more to go!" Captain Koopa Troopa yelled back at his allies.

The squad was consisting of five Possessed Piranha Plants, three bigger Ceruleans. And Cerulean Possessed Petey Piranha.

Petey instantly roared and charged forwards. A Hammer Bro swung his hammer. Knocking Petey backwards, before roaring to indicate his minions to go.

The three Hammer Bros threw five hammers at the Cerulean wave. It didn't kill the, instantly, but they rammed into them. Causing them to loose heath. And eventually getting flung away by a single head butt.

"Those were my strongest troops!" Captain Koopa Troopa shouted before going into his shell and ramming into them repeatedly until they were flung the same way.

The Goomba squad jumped and went head first into the Piranha Plants. They countered by biting them. The Goombrat who was smarter than the Goombas. Dodged the teeth and snuck behind and rammed into each of them.

"Good thinking Goombrat!" Captain Goomba cheered.

Big Boo inhaled and exhaled a ghostly substance which instantly exploded the Possessed Piranha Plants. Then Captain Boo stunned a Cerulean and rammed right into it. Knocking it backwards.

When Petey called for backup. Serval shouted. "Don't let us out!"

Caracal jumped and clawed a big Cerulean. Killing it. She laughed triumphantly before getting hit by another one.

Captain Goomba ran in circles around a Cerulean. When it was starting to get dizzy. Serval unleashed the final blow.

And to top it all off. Crested Ibis sung her song and for the THIRD time today, we saw the Frozen Meteor.

All that was left was Petey.

"Load the cannons!" Captain Shy Guy shouted.

The Shy Guys filled the cannons with AIM Bills and Banzais.

"Fire!" Serval mimicked. And they did just that,

The Red Bullet Bills instantly homed into Petey's pants. Striking it repeatedly. After the three explosions, Petey laid on his back struggling to get up.

Then the AIM Banzai struck Petey's belly button. Making a huge explosion. Since the belly button was the Cerulean's weak spot. All the Cellium sprayed off and Petey laid unconscious.

BGM Ends.

Serval waited anxiously for Petey to get up. While Captain Goomba looked worried.

"Man, I hope Bowser doesn't fire us for hurting his strongest officer." She mumbled.

Eventually Petey did get up. Confused on how he got there. Soon the red haze disappeared to a blue sky. All the volcanos vanished and Park Central returned back to normal.

"What a relief!" California Sea Lion exclaimed as she ran up to the group.

"Is everyone okay?" Dolphin asked.

"Oh were just fine!" Caracal responded. "Japari Park is safe again!"

After all that Jazz. Kyururu's sketchbook had no drawing they needed to find. Unfortunately Kyururu couldn't find her house. Kaban was eager for their next adventure.

BGM: Finale (Kemono Friends)

"Well, I hope you find your home." Kyururu told Petey.

"Farewell!" Kaban called out.

Serval had a sad expression on her face. She had fun venturing with Petey. Just like she did with Kaban from a different timeline. Although two chapters prior. This messed up the space-time continuum.

"G-goodbye!" She said. She leapt and hugged Petey while crying. Petey did not recognize this action. He stayed still and accepted it.

Petey wanted to get home, but he didn't know where to start.

Way later when he had traveled all the way back to the Savanna area, he laid beside a bolder to rest.

After sleeping for about two days. Petey finally got up. But what he didn't realize was two friends were asleep and snuggled up to him. When he sat up. They woke up as well.

"Hm? Oh, sorry. We got sleepy from traveling and thought you were a bolder. ~noda." A Raccoon named Arai-San said apologetic.

"You don't need to apologize Arai-San~." A Fennec Fox shortened to Fennec told Arai-San. "He didn't know either~."

They started off again. When they were walking ahead. Petey started following them.

"Guess he wants to come with? ~Nanoda?" Arai-San said.

"He can come. We need the protection~." Fennel replied.

As they were walking ahead. They didn't know that a tiny man was running up ahead from them. Running towards them.

"Bah! Where is all the treasure?!" He scoffed. "I thought this old park had all sorts of riches. Ugh. No matter, I'll find it anyway. See?"

TO BE CONTINUED...

This chapter by far was the longest. As I said before. This chapter was slow and barley had action. But stay tuned for next time! The action picks up right away. And by the man's tone of voice. Can you tell who he is? Until next time!

EPILOGUE...

Back in the sewers of Saga. Three figures climbed out of a golden pipe sticking out.

"It's going to be here somewhere..." One voice said.

"Bwahahah! We're close I can feel it!" Another maniacally laughed.

"Stop fooling around you two! We've got work to do!" A older sound one shouted.

The Dorami members, Maria, Migikawa, and Sayama were driving down the road, roaring their motorcycles. Looking for something interesting.

Maria was up ahead of the others. When she thought she saw the sewer lid opening. Then it flung open and three figures wearing shells popped out. Maria freaked out and nearly hit a small muscular man wearing a purple shell. Another one was small and had blue spiky hair. The other was taller and had a pair of green sprouted hair and black glasses. The one with the purple shell had pink shades and a pink forehead. Their names were Larry, Iggy and Roy.

Maria served to the side. And her companions followed. They all parked their bikes.

"Maria! Are you all right?" Migikawa asked.

Breathing heavily due to the risk of almost killing a man she finally managed a "Uh-Huh."

Roy stubbornly turned towards Maria. The others did the same.

Then Roy approached her angrily. "What's your deal kid? Can't you see I'm workin' here?"

"What's our problem? What's your problem! You literally came out of that freaking manhole!"

"Maria let them go. They seem like foreigners and adults. Except that blue-haired kid." Sayama said.

"Who cares?!" Maria shouted. "We're badass bikers! We literally rule the roads!"

"Pretty cool shells you have their. The spikes seem real." Said a amused Migikawa. Looking at their shells.

"They are! Bwahaha!" Iggy grunted.

"No way!" Maria scoffed. "I don't like people who think their cool!"

She approached Roy who still looked angry and put up her fists.

"Look!" Larry whispered to Iggy. "It looks like their going to fight!"

Roy simply scoffed. "You think you got guts to fight me kid? You're just a little girl!"

This made Maria even more angry. "A little kid?! Why you!" She struck a punch and Roy expertly dodged it.

"Want me to mess you up?" Maria shouted.

"Wanna DIE?" Roy shouted back. And he pulled out a black Bazooka. With a skull painted on it.

The Dorami members' eyes widened.

"Uh, no thanks! Sorry for bothering you!" Sayama shouted. And they all climbed back on their bikes as fast as they could. And zoomed out of there.

Roy put his Bazooka away and shouted at them. "And don't come back!" And kicked a rock at their direction.

As Iggy and Larry watched Roy walk along the sidewalk he mumbled. "Stupid Kids."

"C'mon! We've got work to do!" He called out to them.

They walked further until they reached a old mansion that was badly burnt.

"No doubt he was here." Iggy started. "Those burns definitely tell those are his."

"Well at least we know where he was." Roy said picking through the scraps. He found a old pair of Kotarou's sunglasses. He tried them on before tossing them to some bushes

"Useless." He said.

"Found it!" Larry shouted. Pointing at a rift shard.

"So we found what Dad was looking for?" Iggy asked.

"Yup." Roy said, crossing his arms.

Larry pocketed it. "Alright let's go!" He said.

"Wait Larry." Roy told the young Koopaling. "We've still got to find Ludwig and Wendy. Their still at the school where all those 'idols' are kept."

"What about Morton, Lemmy and Lord Junior?" Iggy asked.

"Their going to two places. Where Petey currently is. And right now their at a town where Petey was at a construction site." Larry said.

Just as they were leaving hopping in their Koopaling Clown Cars. Their heard a faint groan.

"Didja hear something?" Iggy asked.

"Eh. Probably those dumb zombie brats from when Mario somehow destroyed Dad's cool Superstar Armor." Roy replied. "I would crush them, but I don't really want to make Dad mad."

As they hovered away. A red-haired zombie plucked her head out of the ground.

"What happened?" She groaned.
