Chapter 12: The Past to Blast
Petey Piranha descended down to the city, where his senses of a Piranha Plant thought he sensed; Lord Junior. Bowser Jr. is second in command of the Koopa Troop. Petey Piranha, along with King Bomb-om, King Boo, King Bill, Goomboss, Gooper Blooper, and all other enemy kings are Bowser's First Officer's in his army. Extremely loyal under Bowser, Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings, and lead their respective subordinates into battle.
Now this may seem off-topic, but it is a natural instinct for these Officers to immediately follow orders from Bowser, or his children. Petey also knew this was a way to get back home to the Mushroom Kingdom, unfortunately, soon after, he lost contact of Bowser Jr. moments after the Rift Zone activated and surrounded Hikarizaka City in a watery dome. Which somehow affected the weather, melting the snow, and turning it back into mid-summer. Not only this change, but it also occurred to Petey that the time was twisted to another point in a different universe.
Petey's story in a alternate universe combined with one. Clannad, is about to begin…
BGM: Ushio (Clannad After Story)
"Where? What the—?" Tomoya asked himself, his eyes still tear-stained. Ushio, his daughter, disappeared from his arms, her body outline still present in the snow, and her body heat still in his arms.
Tomoya had no idea what was happening, something had happened to the city, and now Ushio was gone. But there was no way she would just disappear from his arms the second he looked up. Something must be going on.
"Ushio!" Tomoya screamed into the distance, trying to see if his daughter had really walked away. No response. "Ushio!" He called once more. Still no response.
Suddenly, white filled his vision. Causing him to be pushed back a little. The Time Twist had occurred, causing winter to fall back into spring again. Sadness filled his mind, loosing Nagisa four years ago, and now Ushio. Was too much for him to handle. But another part of him still felt that Nagisa and Ushio were still alive, somewhere. But he couldn't put his finger on where.
"M-My best shot might be to go home." He told himself. And finally, he picked himself up, and carried on to his apartment.
BGM Ends.
Tomoya nervously approached his apartment, in hopes that his family would be in there. Stumbling to the door, Tomoya finally opened it.
"H-Hey." Tomoya shouted, with slight hopes of Nagisa or Ushio coming to greet him. "I'm home."
He heard fumbling in his kitchen, and then, much to his surprise. Nagisa walked out.
BGM: The Days Leisure (Clannad)
"Welcome back!" Nagisa said cheerfully. "Dinner's almost ready!"
"Daddy!" Ushio exclaimed, and ran up to hug him.
Tomoya sat stunned. How is Nagisa here? How is Ushio all better? Why are they acting like nothing ever happened? "N-Nagisa." Tomoya whispered.
"Huh?" She replied.
"Nagisa!" Tomoya cried, and immediately took her into his arms. "But how? I thought you were dead!"
Nagisa and Ushio comforted him with their own hugs. "What are you talking about, silly? Me an Ushio were here waiting for you!"
"Me and Mommy." Ushio confirmed.
"Oh! You don't know how happy I am to see you both!" Tomoya cried.
"C'mon!" Nagisa exclaimed. "Let's eat dinner together!"
Tomoya smiled, his life now had meaning again. Just to see his beautiful wife and daughter again brought him such happiness, maybe he would just pretend nothing happened, or forgot everything that happened in the past.
It also seemed like everyone in the city had forgotten as well. Everyone, in the city, seemed like one big family. Once big happy Dango Family, that is.
Although one plant still lingered around...
BGM Ends.
Petey Piranha wobbled around, looking for Hikarizaka City's border, where the bubble would end. But eventually, in a familiar sunflower field, the bubble seemed to be near the end of the field.
Petey flapped his leaves, and dive bombed to the bubble. And flew at 100mph to exit the city border.
CLANG!
With enormous impact, Petey smashed into thin air, and dropped like a swatted fly.
THUD!
Luckily, it was nighttime, so no one was around to see him fall to the ground. Hopefully no one saw either. Petey got back up and tried to get past the bubble; but this Rift Zone seemed more like a forcefield than a bubble, so he couldn't pass.
After struggling for thirty seconds, nothing happened. It seemed like he was trapped.
"You desire to travel?" A voice came over head of Petey's consciousness.
Petey looked all around, then he thought it was something inside his brain or stomach again.
"Don't be alert, I am Chakron, guardian of the Star Cure, and owner of the Chakroads. Do you desire to travel?"
"Yes, take me to the Mushroom Kingdom or out of here!" Petey said in his mind, if he talked aloud, his voice would only be gurgles and grunts.
"That is out of my comprehension." Chakron replied. "To exit this city, you must find a way to stop the loop. There is something blocking the bubble, causing it to be impassible. Find the two creating the time twist, and eliminate them. Then the Chakroad will appear."
"But how do I know where they are?" Petey asked his consciousness again.
"I have no telling who they are, but, if one looks hard enough, they should have an invisible aura." Chakron replied. "You must find them, and restore the balance of time."
Petey grunted a sharp, low grunt. His next mission was to capture the two people twisting time.
Nagisa and Ushio.
Petey traveled back to Hikarizaka City, to start plotting a way to find the two fugitives.
BGM: Springtime Breeze - Afternoon (Clannad)
Is wasn't long, before Petey realized that he was hungry. Looking for something to inhale, his eyes landed on a small bakery. Grunting affectionately, he walked up to the door, and peered inside. Lovely looking bread rolls lay on the bakery's counter.
Hungry enough, Petey burrowed to a small size, and popped back up inside the bakery, eyeing the bread.
"Would you like some?" A woman asked.
Petey turned his head, to see a beautiful woman standing in the doorway. Nagisa's mother, Sanae.
"Those are leftovers from today, if you want them, they're all yours!" She said with a smile.
Petey took advantage of her words, and used his new vacuum ability to suck all the bread rolls at once.
Gnawing on them for a while, a question mark appeared over his head, and spit out a mushed up pile of bread, which bounced on the walls, before crashing outside.
Akio, Sanae's husband, chuckled at Petey's reaction. "Ha! This guy in that weird plant-monster costume doesn't like it too...Ah!"
Sanae, who now has tears in her eyes, looked sadly at the ground. "So that's how it is? M-My bread isn't tasty at all?" Then she ran outside, and down the block.
"Ah! No!" Akio yelled, and stuffed the whole tray of bread in his mouth. "I love em'! I lof em' baby!" And then he ran after her with his mouth full.
Petey, who saw the whole scene, looked awkwardly at the door, before shrinking himself again, and popping back up outside.
Looking for a place to sleep, he found Hikarizaka Private High School, which was on top of a steep hill, a perfect place for his 'hideout' since school was out for summer break. Now Petey waited for morning, waiting for a chance to find the two, all the while, planning the perfect plot to eliminate them.
BGM: A Pair of Idiots (Clannad)
"Hey! Okazaki!" Youhei called from the street. Youhei Sunohara, along with Ushio's kindergarten teacher, Kyou Fujibayashi, and her twin sister, Ryou Fujibayashi, had planned to meet up at the high school, for some kind of meetup. Which was planned one month ago (in the different universe). But Tomoya didn't question anything, and simply went along with it.
"Good morning, Okazaki." Ryou waved.
"Don't tell me that you forgot already!" Kyou scolded, rather blunt.
"Oh no!" Tomoya replied. (He just went along with what was happening) "In fact, we just got ready a few minutes ago."
"Well, whatever." Kyou smiled. "At least you're not late."
At the top of the hill, where the high school laid. Petey slept on the roof, positioned on his side. But not enough to be seen.
Not knowing their antagonist was sleeping on the school's very roof, they parked themselves in the front school yard.
"Hey, Okazaki." Youhei asked. "Did you even know we were coming over today?"
"What? Of course, idiot!" Tomoya shouted defensively.
"Well, I ain't gonna question it." Youhei replied. "You did look weird when we showed up."
"Yeah!" Kyou said, now in this conversation. "We've planned this for over a month now! It's like you totally forgot we were coming over!"
Awoken by the commotion. Petey grunted, annoyed and turned over to the school's front yard, where everyone happily chattered and simply were having a good time. Petey didn't care, and was about to fly somewhere else, when something caught his eye.
Next to Tomoya, Nagisa was talking to Kyou and Ryou. And sitting on his lap, Ushio chatted with Youhei and Tomoya. But Nagisa and Ushio had something in common. A glitchy aura. Petey's Piranha senses told him that they were not from there. Automatically giving Petey Piranha the information he needed to suspect that Nagisa and Ushio were the fugitives Chakron was talking about.
Petey gave a sharp, deep grunt, and began to plot a way to eliminate Nagisa and Ushio. Knowing that he couldn't just murder them on school grounds.
BGM: Melty Monster Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy 2)
Petey turned around and summoned his two most trusted and loyal subordinates. Piranha Plant, and Piranha Bean.
Petey told his plan to Piranha Plant duo. How their job is to gather information on the two fugitives and their male (what Petey called) leader.
When he gets enough information, he will find the perfect place to strike, and free all three of them from the forcefield, preventing from continuing their journey.
Handing them a costume to disguise themselves in public. With Piranha Plant on top of Piranha Bean's back, they put on the brown coat, laced the business shoes and the matching ominous brown hat, although Piranha Plant's white lips stuck out, they looked like an ordinary citizen.
Petey then sent them from the backside to start collecting information on Tomoya, Nagisa and Ushio.
BGM Ends.
"Bye-bye, Ushio." Tomoya said to Ushio. "Daddy has to go to work, I'll see you when I get home."
"Bye-bye, daddy!" Ushio exclaimed.
Kyou lead her inside, not knowing that the Piranha duo was standing nearby. Taking information of where Ushio went to kindergarten.
The next day, the duo followed Nagisa to where she went to work. A family diner named Ernesto Host. Not staying very long, they gathered the fact that she worked as a waitress.
Finally, Tomoya works as a electrician, and arrives home late. Bundles with that, Nagisa and Ushio arrive home in the afternoon.
And eventually, after four days of gathering information, they finally came to a conclusion.
"Hey, I'm scheduled off work on Sunday." Tomoya told his family. "I was thinking we could visit the sunflower field again."
"Oh!" Nagisa exclaimed. "That sounds perfect! What do you think Ushio?"
"Yeah!" Ushio exclaimed very happily.
Tomoya chuckled softly and wrapped Ushio in his arms. "It's settled then."
Piranha Plant gasped a sharp grunt. (Whom he was pretending to be a flower in a flower pot). He thought to himself over and over again. "Sunday, sunflower field, Sunday, sunflower field."
Later that night, he informed Petey Piranha that the family are visiting the sunflower field on Sunday, Piranha Bean also seemed to agree in the situation.
Fortunately, he knew exactly where it was, and finally, it was settled. He would finally eliminate Nagisa and Ushio on Sunday. With fast precision, he flew over to the field, and burrowed inside. Waiting quietly to pounce on them, getting rid of them for once and for all.
Finally, the big day arrived. And the Okazaki family were on the train to the field. Tomoya was telling a story to Ushio on how she was born, and his past with Nagisa.
"Ushio, let me tell you a little story about something that happened before you were born." Tomoya chuckled. "Actually you might say this is the story about how you were born. Y'see Mommy and Daddy first became friends in our senior year of night school."
"Is that when you two met?" Ushio asked.
"That's right, back then, we didn't even know each other's name." Tomoya replied.
BGM: The Days Leisure (Clannad)
Tomoya explained about how He and Nagisa met on the hill.
"That was the first time, Mommy and a Daddy ever talked to each other." Tomoya explained. "At that time, Mommy was a year older than the kids at school. And daddy was an outcast at school. But after I met mommy, bit by bit, things began to change, my life began to turn around. Y'see, mommy wanted to put on a play, but first she had to bring back the school's drama club, and that wasn't going to be easy."
"But you helped her out right?" Ushio asked Tomoya.
"I sure did, and that meant a lot to your mommy, so I couldn't just ignore her problem. Y'know, mommy loved the big dango family, even back then. Ushio, you love them too right?"
"Uh-Huh!" Ushio exclaimed.
"Before she formed the club, mommy practiced alone, that play was very important to her."
Tomoya explained on how he and Nagisa met their friends, Kyou, Ryou, Youhei, Kotomi, and Tomoya.
"We all went our separate ways after graduation, but we still meet up from time to time, I guess you know that already don't you? You saw everyone yesterday."
Tomoya then explained how they challenged the basketball club to a match to get the teacher they needed for their club.
"But daddy still had his own problems to deal with." Tomoya explained. "Back then, daddy didn't get along with grandpa very well, I got really mad and left home. That's when I went to live with mommy's family. Sanae and Akki don't need an introduction I guess. One time, Akki had daddy play baseball with him, that was a real mess. Sanae and Akki welcomed me into their home with open arms from the very start, daddy never had a family like that growing up so it was all new to him. I have to admit, I didn't know how to act at first, so I tried my best to fit in. At the time, I didn't know why Sanae and Akki helped me, but I'm glad they did."
Tomoya had then explained to Ushio about Nagisa's play.
"In the end, the play was a big success."
"What was it about?" Ushio asked curiously.
"It was about a girl who lived in a world that had ended." Tomoya replied. "The strange thing is, daddy thought he knew about that story too. That day after the play had ended, daddy had finally asked mommy out. And we promised that we'd stay with each other forever."
After that, Tomoya explained the rest of the story, of how Nagisa had died giving birth to Ushio, and how she died from Nagisa's strange illness, but now they were alive and well once again.
"Oh, we arrived. Ushio! Come on, wake up! We're here!" Tomoya said softly to the sleeping little child.
But that was about to end soon.
Late into the afternoon, Ushio came back to her father and mother, after playing in the sunflower field for a while.
"Did you have fun, Ushio?" Tomoya asked happily.
"Yep!" Ushio exclaimed, and settled beside Nagisa and Tomoya.
Nagisa smiled, but then laid her eyes on something spotted in the distance. (BGM pauses)
"Wow!" Nagisa exclaimed. "Look at that huge, overgrown sunflower!"
Tomoya looked closer, it seemed oddly suspicious to him. "Why would a sunflower look like that? It has a red center and white...polka dots?"
"It looks so pretty!" Ushio said in awe. "Mommy! Let's go check it out!"
Nagisa and Ushio were fascinated, meanwhile, Tomoya approached with caution.
Unfortunately, the 'giant sunflower' happened to be Petey Piranha. Who was sleeping soundly, until he heard the sound of footsteps approaching, immediately, he knew that it was them. Getting their voice description from Piranha Plant and Piranha Bean, it was no doubt Nagisa and Ushio.
"It seems to big to take home, let's just take a picture." Tomoya said it caution.
Ushio patted his head. "Hello, Mr. flower!" She said happily.
Then Petey uprooted, and landed hard onto the ground, knocking them back. Then he roared loudly opening his disturbing and monstrous mouth.
BGM: Bowser Appears (Super Mario Galaxy)
"Am I dreaming? Because this is not what I had in mind for a giant Sunflower." Tomoya said, shaking a little.
"M-Mommy?" Ushio whimpered, hugging close to Nagisa, who was clenching Tomoya.
Petey, who's teeth were clenched with extreme fury, slowly approached the Okazaki family, intimidatingly.
"W-What do you want?" Tomoya shouted. "And what the hell are you?!"
Petey gave a loud, sharp grunt. Saliva dripping from his gums, the roof of his mouth, and teeth.
"I-Is he gonna eat us?" Ushio whispered, on the verge of tears.
"Stay behind me." Tomoya commanded. "Stay the hell away from my family, you disgusting plant!"
BGM: Airship Theme - Super Mario Bros. 3 (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)
Petey Piranha roared loudly, ready to finally eliminate the ones corrupting time.
Track reaches - 0:08
"Get away from us!" Tomoya screamed, and took out a pocket knife, then chucked it where he thought Petey's heart was.
Petey made a sharp grunt, and looked at his chest where the knife was lodged. Green liquid oozed from it's place.
Tomoya, who was also angry, looked at the ooze dripping from the lodged location.
"GGRRRRRRAAAWWW!" Petey roared, and glowed green with rage, as the FURY status appeared. Then he grabbed the knife with his leaf.
Horrified, Tomoya looked at Nagisa, who Petey's aim was currently settled on.
"Nagisa!" Tomoya tried to warn.
Petey then tossed the knife at Nagisa's chest at meteor speed. Impaling her straight through her heart.
"Mommy!" Ushio wailed.
Tomoya ran over to tend her, she was killed instantly from the impalement. "NAGISA!" He cried.
Petey now has his focus on Ushio, who was crying for her mother, who laid dead in a pool of blood in the field.
A flare started in Petey's mouth, and took a deep inhale, with fire growing in his mouth. Then it shined for a second. "GGGRRRAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" He roared as fire spewed out his mouth, covering Ushio in flames.
Tomoya couldn't do anything to save her, unless he wanted to burn himself. When the smoke cleared, Nagisa, who laid with a hole through her chest and back, and Ushio, in which, half her body was burnt to the fire,
Tomoya dropped to his knees, the two, in which were brought back to him, now dead in the arms of a sinister plant 'monster'.
"GGRRROOOAH!" Petey grunted as he started inhaling Nagisa and Ushio's bodies, Nagisa's wasn't hard to swallow, while Ushio's was like a crunchy snack.
"GRAWHAHAHA." Petey laughed devilishly through closed teeth, as he swallowed Ushio.
Tomoya fell onto the ground, and started crying loudly.
BGM: Calling all the Shots DX (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey)
"Why?!" Tomoya screamed. "Why did you have to take them from me again?!"
Petey Piranha stared back at him, motionless and without an expression.
Clearly, no longer wanting to live, Tomoya looked up at Petey with dead, expressionless eyes. "Please." He begged. "End me, so I can be with them, up there."
Granting his wish, Petey hurled a single cage out of his mouth, then slammed it on Tomoya, trapping him inside.
"What are you going to do with me?" He pleaded. "Starve me? Or find some other way—."
Before he could finish his statement, Petey already engulfed the cage with fire, causing Tomoya to scream in pain. Petey then stared at the cliff nearby, and started swinging the cage.
"GGGGRRRRROOAH!" Petey growled as he tossed the burning cage over the cliff. As the cage hit the sides of the cliff, it shattered into several pieces, and finally exploded at the bottom.
Securing his victory, Petey growled ferociously, then let out his victory roar. "GGRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWHHHHH!" And with one leaf, he struck it into the air.
Forgetting about the dome above him, the forcefield lowered, and the Rift hovering above Hikarizaka City shriveled up and exploded.
BGM Ends.
"Marvelous work." Chakron said in Petey's head. "If you desire to travel quickly, a Chakroad should be under that rock."
Petey looked at the rock that was glowing ominously. Then bit it, causing a portal to appear.
Not wanting to ever return to this city, Petey stepped into the Chakroad. Hoping to return to the Mushroom Kingdom.
But that's not where the Chakroad intended him to be...
TO BE CONTINUED…
Yes, this chapter may seem horrible. But please hear me out. I watched EVERY EPISODE of Clannad. And was supposed to meet with this guy who knows absolutely everything about it, and even wrote fan-made storyboards. I was going to ask him on ideas for this chapter, but, it never happened. So I took matters into my own hands.
Please understand, and thank you for the support!
also, sorry if you don't like this. I don't either. But let me reassure you, I promise longer chapters.
