The gang carefully exited the cave, Hoping to find a way to sneak off the islands, but unfortunately, a massive horde of tiny versions of them have crowded around the cave entrance.
"Ah! Our Masters Above! The sun is setting, let us go to the center island, and begin the ceremony!"
The group then began to carefully lead Pucca, Garu, Ching, and Abyo to the celebration grounds.
Abyo quietly whispered to the others, so that the little ones wouldn't hear him. "We're gonna have to tell them you know." He said.
"I'm just afraid of how they'll react..." Ching whispered back.
Just like that, the group arrived at the middle island, where they were met with even more little look alikes!
"Our Masters Above have returned!" Some of them called out. They all cheered for Pucca and her friends, before starting their little celebration.
Next thing they knew, the thousands of little versions of them had quickly set up decorations, started cooking food, and dance around a huge fire.
With the combination of all the sights, smells, and music. It kinda made the four forget that they wanted to leave.
The celebration lasted until midnight, and that's when everyone stopped.
At that very moment, Pucca and co had been suddenly struck with realization, they forgot about escaping.
The little Puccas, Chings, Garus, and Abyos all surrounded the four, one of the Puccas stepped forward.
"The time has come!" The little one said. "It is time to fulfill what the ancient prophesy has foretold! Master Garu, Master Ching, and Master Abyo. Provide Master Pucca with the power she needs to finally, for the first time speak. So she may sing her song, the song to ascend us all to a greater plane of existence!"
The other look alikes began waiting patiently for their ascension. But there was nothing the four could do! They weren't really gods, they didn't have any other worldly powers, and Pucca wasn't able to speak! they were just four residents of a small village that got lost. There was nothing else they could do.
They had to come clean.
"Um.. May I speak?" Ching cautiously asked.
"Everyone silent!" A little Garu called out. "Master Ching wishes to speak!" Just like that,
The sea of little look alikes focused all their attention on her. Ching nervously, but gently began their confession.
"You see everyone,... We are not your Masters Above." The crowd was silent, except for a couple whispers.
"M-master Ching!" Cried a tiny Ching look alike as she ran over and dropped to her knees in front of the real Ching. "W-what are these words in which you are saying!?" Ching looked down at the small version of herself, looking up at her with a desperate look on her face. It made Ching feel really guilty, but there was no other way. "I'm sorry everybody. But we are all just normal kids who were in the wrong place at the wrong time." Ching said.
"Yeah." Abyo added. "Don't ask how we have the same names and appearances as your gods either. That is beyond even someone as awesome as me."
Garu and Pucca face palmed hard at Abyo's statement.
Everything was quite for a moment. Until the silence was broken by a small, yet loud voice.
"IMPOSTERS!!!"
The large horde of look alikes began to uproar! "LIERS!! TRAITORS!!" Screamed a little Pucca. "THEY DECEIVED US!! THEY BRING SHAME TO OUR MASTERS ABOVE!!"
Quick as a flash, Pucca grabbed her friends and slammed right through the crowd as she sprinted away.
"AFTER THEM!!" Screamed the little enraged versions of the four! The entire group of little Puccas, Garus, Chings, and Abyos all began to pursue Pucca and the rest.
Aggressively yelling their war cry and throwing little spears as they chased them through the islands. Surprisingly, the little variations of Pucca and the rest were able to keep up with her. The four ran as fast as they could through the night. To make matters worse, everywhere they looked they were being watched by the creepy, demonic, Puccas. The horrible apparitions were littering the branches of the trees. Watching the panicked four from above. Their razor sharp teeth filled their twisted smiles, the unidentifiable red substance leaking from their eyes glistened in the moonlight. The unsettling, sinister laughter of the ghostly Pucca entities echoed through the darkness of the night, all while Pucca and the rest were desperately trying to escape from the outraged horde of their tiny look alikes.
After what seemed like forever of blindly sprinting into darkness, The four finally reached the island in which the boat that Ching and Abyo used was docked.
But there was no time to lose, the angry tribe was right on their tail. Pucca quickly uprooted a nearby Sakura Tree and with one monstrous swing, she whacked the entire tribe and sent them all flying out of sight.
"Home Run!" Abyo hollered. Pucca giggled as she waved goodby to the tribe as they all disappeared into the sky.
Now Pucca, Garu, Ching, and Abyo could get off the island safely. It was a long day, and the group were ready to just go home.
Pucca pushed the boat into the water and she got behind it and used her legs as a propeller on a speed boat. They soon arrived back home in Sooga Village.
"Alright. I'm finished with today, I'm goin to bed." Abyo said as he started walking home.
"I can agree with that." Ching said while Pucca and Garu nodded. The group then walked off for home.
Once the four were out of sight, some strange scratching sounds were coming from in the boat. After a brief moment of silence.
A black silhouette of a tiny little girl peaked out of the boat.
