Chapter 27: Prima Doll
Noel, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, Knuckles, Carmelita, Alibaba, Morgiana, Aang, Katara, Zuko, and Rue make their way out of Mel's atelier and they return to the pink forest area.
"I'm sorry what happened to your friend, Rue..." Noel said.
"It's not your fault, Noel. I guess now you know why I need the [relic]." Rue said.
"And Mel told us that it belongs to someone named Valen and it's gonna lead to world destruction? What if the Black Xetis or the Heartless are after it?" Ken asked.
"I doubt that. Let's just go talk to Klaus and tell him about the cube." Alibaba said.
The group start moving but then they see something moving.
"Look. Something's moving." Cream said.
The group run to what looks like a moving star.
"Duke? What are you doing here?" Banjo asked and the moving star who is Duke turns to them.
"What?! Man, this disguise was perfect! I can't believe you spotted me." Duke said.
"It was obvious. How stupid do you think we are?" Zuko asked.
"Oh, you were just lucky. Back to business. Hand over the cube and the information you got from Fancy Mel. Do it now before you get hurt." Duke said.
"No way." Knuckles said.
"Hey! You still have the tiara. Give it back!" Rue said.
"Don't think ya can refuse. You can't even fight us for crap in that stupid costume." Ken said.
"Shut up! I stayed up all night making this! It was worth it. This is my greatest act yet." Duke said.
"So you think you're a star now?" Katara asked.
"I don't think! I AM a star! I'm a star...I'm a star..." Duke then jumps into the air.
"What is he doing?" Espio asked.
"SHOOTING STAR!" Duke shouted as he crashes down at the group.
"Watch out!" Noel said as the group dodge Duke's attack.
"You scared now?! I'm Starlight Duke! It's my time to shine!" Duke said as spins around to get the group.
Noel and Rue dodge Duke's star spin attack until Duke gets dizzy and falls on the ground allowing Noel to triple slash with Radiant Salvation and then casts Blizzard while Rue slashes with his sword but Duke gets up and walks over to the two but then trips and falls and Noel uses Edge Slash while Rue delivers a wide slash with his sword but Duke gets up and horizontally star spins all over the area to get Noel and Rue who get away from Duke until Duke falls to the ground allowing Noel to triple horizontal slash with Radiant Salvation while Rue jump slashes with his sword but Duke gets up and vertical star spins to get the two but Noel and Rue avoid Duke again until he falls down again and Noel casts Thunder while Rue delivers a wide slash with his sword.
Duke gets up and horizontal star spins again at the two but Noel and Rue avoid Duke until he falls to the ground and Noel slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by a swing slash while Rue slashes with his sword but Duke walks over to the two but he trips and falls allowing Noel to aerial slash with Radiant Salvation while Rue jump slashes with his sword but Duke vertical star spins at Noel and Rue who avoid the star spin attack until Duke falls over and Rue delivers a wide slash with his sword while Noel triple slashes with Radiant Salvation but Duke gets up and jumps in the air and tries to dive at the two but Noel and Rue dodge and Duke falls on the ground allowing Noel to slash with Radiant Salvation and then uses Spin Slash while Rue slashes with his sword but Duke jumps into the air again.
"STARRRRR!" Duke shouted as he dives at Noel and Rue but they dodge and Duke falls to the ground. "Ow...I think I broke my nose..." Duke said.
"Enough of this crap! Give us back that tiara before Noel and Rue beat the crap outta you again!" Ken said.
"It's not over! You two are still my lifelong rivals." Duke said.
"Whatever. Just give back the tiara." Rue said.
"We don't want anymore pointless fights..." Noel said.
"I'll tell you what, I'll let you two off today. Next time, you two will be the ones with busted nose." Duke said as he takes off and leaves.
"I think his ears are busted too." Knuckles said.
"Forget him. Let's go back to Carona and talk to Klaus." Aang said and they nod and leave.
Later on the group return to Carona and go to Klaus' house and meet him.
"Oh, good. You're all back." Klaus said.
"We got great news, Doctor. Mel examined the cube for us." Rue said.
"She gave us a report." Noel said giving Klaus the written report.
"Great! Let's read it." Klaus said taking the report. "Now let's see..." Klaus said.
"You've finished reading?" Noel asked.
"Not yet. I just finished reading the part that explains how to open it. Why not open it now?" Klaus asked.
"There should be something in the cube if it can be opened." Rue said.
"I believe so. Mel's report said 'Open the cube and find out yourself.' I think there's an item in here that can unlock the seal placed by the Aeon." Klaus said as he does something to the cube to open it.
"What's happening?" Aang asked.
"It's doing something..." Klaus said and the cube glows and reveals what looks like a boy with sandy blond hair and wearing a dress.
"What is that?" Morgiana asked.
"That's weird. How did a boy fit in that tiny cube?" Carmelita asked.
"It's not human. He looks human, but he's a doll." Rue said.
"A doll...?" Noel asked.
"How the hell can someone make this thing?" Ken asked.
"Don't you people know anything?" A voice asked and the group see Mint. "Grand Magician Elroy made that doll. That means it's packed with powerful magic." Mint said.
"You mean like magic that'll finally shut you the hell up and make you piss off?" Ken asked.
"Why you...!" Mint growled. "Look, this thing is called Prima Doll and he's the only one who can break the seal at the lake ruins." Mint said.
"It's unbelievable that YOU know something about this." Alibaba said.
"Shut up!" Mint yelled.
"Elroy was so close to breaking the seal." Rue said.
"I suppose now we'll be able to get the [relic] with this Prima Doll." Klaus said.
"It's not that easy. I bet you didn't finish Mel's report. You don't know anything at all." Mint said.
"Oh, well, if you're so smart, then explain it, floozy!" Zuko said.
"Fine! This Prima Doll is not complete. He doesn't have any power. He's sleeping. Even if you kick him or slap him, nothing will wake him." Mint said.
"So the only way to wake him up is find some items, right?" Noel asked.
"Finally! Someone who's smart! The items are on Mel's report." Mint said.
"Good. Let's read it and hopefully, you'd finally shut the hell up and piss off." Ken said.
"Grr!" Mint growled.
"I found it." Noel said.
"It says here; 'Grand Magician Elroy worked closely with his apprentices. The items needed to complete the Prima Doll are kept in the atelier of his apprentices. A pair of gauntlets and pair of sollerets are being kept at the Ghost Temple. The earrings are being kept at the Gamul Forest. The forest high above the river. The final item is an amulet that must be made by phantomite'." Klaus read the report.
"Phantomite? I've never heard such a thing." Espio said.
"Is there a way to get this phantomite?" Rue asked.
"We're gonna have to go to the Ghost Temple and the Gamul Forest for those items we gotta get." Ken said.
"That's not a good idea. We're not the only ones going after the [relic]. If you go on your own and get the items, someone will end up taking them away from you. I even know about the tiara and Belle and Duke took it from you, Noel." Mint said.
"Shuddup about that, ya double-crossin' whore!" Ken yelled.
"Hey! I'm suggesting that we should work together to get the items." Mint said.
"That sounds like a good idea." Noel said.
"I'm gonna go the Ghost Temple for the gauntlets and the sollerets." Rue said.
"I think we should divide some teams..." Noel said.
"Yeah we should. That way, neither Rue nor that floozy should do this alone." Zuko said.
"Who're you calling a floozy?!" Mint demanded.
"You, floozy." Katara answered.
"Rue, Espio, Cream and Cheese, Knuckles, Carmelita, Ken, and Morgiana should go to the Ghost Temple..." Noel said.
"Okay. That sounds good to me." Rue said.
"Wait. You're suggestin' YOU'RE goin' to the Gamul Forest with that floozy?" Ken asked pointing at Mint.
"You got a problem?" Mint asked.
"Yeah! You're annoyin', stupid, and a whore!" Ken yelled.
"Well, that just leaves Noel, Mint, Grace, Aang, Katara, Zuko, Banjo and Kazooie, and I to go to Gamul Forest for those earrings." Alibaba said.
"It's a lot faster." Banjo said.
"That sounds like a good idea." Klaus said.
"C'mon. Let's go to the Gamul Forest." Aang said.
"You'd better behave yourself, whore!" Ken said.
"At least I'm in control of my anger." Mint said.
"Grr!" Ken growled.
"Grr!" Mint growled back.
"Let's go." Alibaba said.
"Y-Yeah. Good luck at the Ghost Temple and be careful." Noel said.
"Thanks, Noel. See ya guys when ya get back." Knuckles said as he, Rue, Cream and Cheese, Espio, Ken, Carmelita, and Morgiana leave the house for the Ghost Temple.
"I guess we're off to the Gamul Forest." Katara said.
"Let's go and find the earrings." Noel said as she, Mint, Grace, Aang, Katara, Zuko, Banjo and Kazooie, and Alibaba leave Klaus' house.
Noel, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Alibaba, Aang, Katara, Zuko, and Mint make their way to the doors to get to Gamul Forest but Mira walks to them.
"Oh, where are you off to?" Mira asked.
"We're going to Gamul Forest. An atelier is supposed to be there." Noel answered.
"How will you get there? It takes at least a week to get there on foot." Mira said.
"What?! A week?!" Mint asked.
"It takes even three days by canoe." Mira said.
"So it's far." Zuko said.
"Then how will we get there sooner?" Aang asked.
"I have a great idea. There's a man named Rod who's camping in the grass fields outside of town. He has a boat. He calls it his 'baby' and boasts that it's the fastest machine in the world." Mira said.
"I guess we'll try asking this Rod." Alibaba said.
"Thank you, Mira." Noel said.
The group make their way to the grass fields outside the town and they find a man with semi long orange hair laying on the grass.
"Um, e-excuse me. Are you Rod...?" Noel asked.
"Yeah. That's me. Name's Rod the Blade Star. A weapon maker, a vagrant, and a swordsman." Rod introduced.
"You're a swordsman that makes weapons?" Banjo asked.
"Yeah. The best way to test my artwork for me to use it. Nothing beats using my artwork against a great rival in combat. Gets my heart warm." Rod said.
"Yeah. Good to know." Mint said.
"So, you came to challenge me?" Rod asked.
"Not really. We came to ask you a favor." Noel said.
"What do you want?" Rod asked.
"We're going to Gamul Forest and we're hoping you'd take us there sooner." Noel answered.
"Well, you came to the right place. My ACV's the best ride around." Rod said.
"Great. Can you take us there?" Alibaba asked.
"Not so fast. Everything has a price. You want my help, you gotta pay up front." Rod said.
"How do you want us to pay?" Katara asked.
"I want a fight. You, girl. How 'bout you fight me?" Rod said to Noel.
"M-Me...?" Noel asked.
"You got a weapon, don't ya? Let me see it." Rod said.
"Oh..." Noel said as she takes out Radiant Salvation. "You mean my Keyblade...?" Noel asked.
"I knew it! You do have a key thing!" Mint said.
"Shut up!" Zuko said.
"That's quite a weapon you got. Here's how it's gonna be; your weapon versus my weapon. My heart versus your heart. Let's do it. I doubt you're just carrying it for decoration." Rod said.
"O-Okay...I'll fight you." Noel said.
"Right on! Before we fight, tell me your name." Rod said.
"My name is Noel..." Noel introduced.
"Okay, Noel, let's see if ya got heart! Oh, right. I almost forgot. Normally I'd need you to pay up." Rod said.
"Why?" Noel asked.
"It's my rule. But since you need a favor, I'll make this fight free of charge this once." Rod said.
"Okay. If I win, you help us." Noel said.
"Deal. Let's go." Rod said taking out two weapons that look like curved blades. "Behold, my latest creation. Show me what you've got, Noel!" Rod said.
Rod attacks Noel with his curved blades but Noel dodges and triple slashes with Radiant Salvation but Rod down slashes with his curved blades but one of his curved blades gets stuck on the ground allowing Noel to vertical slash with Radiant Salvation and then delivers a swing slash but Rod retaliates with a wide slash with his curved blades but Noel cartwheels out of the way and uses Spin Slash but Rod down slashes with his curved blades and then spin slashes with his curved blades but Noel triple slashes with Radiant Salvation and then uses Edge Slash but Rod delivers a wide slash with his curved blades but Noel dodges and slashes with Radiant Salvation and then delivers a flip slash but Rod down slashes with his curved blades and strikes at Noel who recovers and triple slashes with Radiant Salvation but Rod unleashes his curved blades on the ground and they roll at Noel who avoids the rolling curved blades and then aerial slashes at Rod with Radiant Salvation and delivers an aerial spin slash and finishes off Rod and he kneels to the ground.
"Damn, you're strong for a young girl." Rod said.
"Noel just beat you." Katara said.
"That's true. A deal's a deal. I'll take you and your friends to Gamul Forest." Rod said.
"You will?" Noel asked.
"Yeah. Rod the Blade Star never goes back on his word. I'll get my baby ready." Rod said.
"Alrighty!" Mint said excited.
Later on Rod gets his ride out and sets it on the water.
"We're gonna be riding on that?" Kazooie asked.
"Don't call her 'that'. This is my baby. Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Omega." Rod said.
"That's a lame name. Can I just call it Pinto?" Mint asked.
"Don't call my baby that! Her name is Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Omega!" Rod said.
"You sure it will get us to Gamul Forest faster?" Aang asked.
"See for yourself. C'mon. Get in." Rod said.
The group get in the Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Omega.
"What's that noise?" Alibaba asked.
"It's the sorcerous driver. It's some kind of ancient magic device. There are five cannon orbs that juice up the driver to thrust my baby. It' the sweetest sound in the world. Cannon orbs are at max power. Sorcerous driver is all juiced up. Okay, we're ready!" Rod said.
"Yeah! Go Pinto!" Mint said.
"Rod said don't call it that!" Zuko said.
Rod starts making the Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Omega move at maximum speed through the water.
"So, what'd ya think?! She's got mad speed, huh?!" Rod asked.
"It's t-too f-fast...!" Noel said.
"I know!" Rod said.
"GO, PINTO, GO!" Mint shouted.
"Mint, seriously, shut up!" Zuko yelled.
"I can't believe we have to deal with HER. I bet Rue and the others are having a good time without us." Kazooie said.
"It won't be bad as long as we stick together and Mint behaves herself." Katara said.
"Eevee." Grace said in agreement.
Later on Rod and the group are in a forest and it's sunset.
"This must be it." Noel said.
"Let's go find that atelier." Banjo said.
"Rod, don't get any ideas! You'd better be here by the time we get the earrings!" Mint said.
"Don't worry. I'll just take a nap here. Wake me when you get back." Rod said.
"Come on. We have an atelier to find." Aang said.
The group arrive at a different part of the forest and they see ruins all over.
"What?!" Mint asked.
"Is this the atelier in this forest?" Katara asked.
"If so, what happened here?" Alibaba asked.
"The earrings have to be here somewhere. We'll have to take a look around." Zuko said.
Noel, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Alibaba, Aang, Katara, Zuko, and Mint start exploring the ruined area but then Noel finds something on the ground.
"I've found something." Noel said.
"I think it's this Ginema's diary." Mint said.
"Let's see what it says." Banjo said.
"'I hid the earrings in a safe place'." Noel began reading.
"Oh, boy! Where are they?!" Mint asked excited.
"'I hid the earrings inside the guardian's body. This way, no one can take my earrings. My guardian is invincible. Why am I so smart?'." Noel read.
"Then where's the guardian?" Alibaba asked.
"'No! My guardian has wrecked my atelier and escaped! My atelier has been completely destroyed and my earrings are gone! My research is finished! What was I thinking?! Hiding the earrings inside a guardian?! I am such a fool!'." Noel finished reading.
"What an idiot." Mint said.
"Now we have to find this guardian." Zuko said.
"But where is it?" Aang asked.
Just then Noel sees something.
"Look out!" Noel said as she dodges and the others do the same and a fireball comes at them.
"What was that?!" Katara asked.
"Ha! Stay down!" A voice said.
"That voice...!" Noel said.
"Dang! That stupid 'ha!' is Belle!" Mint said.
"Who're you calling stupid?!" The voice demanded as someone reveals itself and it's Belle. "Long time no see, Mint. I see you're still up to no good. And you, little girl, nice to see you again." Belle said.
"What're you doing here, Belle? I haven't seen you since I kicked your butt a year ago!" Mint said.
"What? You know her already?" Banjo asked.
"Yeah. We met. You seem to know Mint already. That slyest creature to ever walk the face of the world. I'll never forget what happened a year ago." Belle said.
"Boo hoo for you, you [expletive]! Now you're resolving to taking cheap shots?!" Mint demanded.
"You should talk! You're the queen of foul play, not to mention dirty mouths." Belle said.
"Oooooh! You're SO dead!" Mint yelled.
"Whatever. I'll make you eat your own words." Belle said.
"Wait! You still have that tiara we found at the underground ruins. Please give us that back." Noel said.
"No way. Your pleas won't make me do that. You were lucky to defeat Duke last time, but you won't last a minute against me." Belle said. "HEXAGON!" Belle called and just then a giant floating machine with hands appears.
"What is that?" Kazooie asked.
"This is Hexagon. My ultimate weapon. I found it at the coral sea ruins. Good luck against it. It has no weakness." Belle said.
"What do you mean? You're not invincible." Alibaba said.
"Yeah. I'm sure we'll get you." Zuko said.
"You won't be able to attack me." Belle said.
"Whatever. We'll smack you off that thing and beat you silly." Mint said.
"Hah! In your dreams!" Belle said.
Belle has her Hexagon charge at the group to grab them with its hands but the group avoid the Hexagon but Belle casts a fire spell on the ground to get the group but Noel casts Thunder on Belle while Mint casts a light magic shot at Belle but Belle shoots a magic shot at Mint and then has her Hexagon to use its fists to smash the ground causing an earthquake but Alibaba leaps slashes at Belle with his knife while Grace uses Tackle to strike at Belle but Belle unleashes a magic barrier around her and sends parts of the barrier at the group who avoid them and Banjo has Kazooie shoot eggs at Belle but Belle casts another fire based spell at the group but Aang and Katara both bend water from Katara's pouch and they attack Belle with a water whip attack while Zuko unleashes a barrage of fireballs at Belle but Belle has her Hexagon deliver a hand swipe at the group.
The group dodge the Hexagon's hand swipe and Mint casts a water blade spell to strike at Belle but Belle unleashes multiple magic shots at Mint who avoids the magic shots and Alibaba uses Amon's fire to strike at Belle but Belle has her Hexagon to grab Alibaba and starts strangling him but Zuko slashes at Belle with his broadswords and then delivers a flame kick making the Hexagon free Alibaba while Grace tail whips at Belle but Belle delivers a slamming spell while her Hexagon delivers a fist slam on the ground and causes an earthquake but Aang unleashes whirlwinds to strike at Belle while Katara throws ice daggers but Belle unleashes more magic shots at the group but Banjo has Kazooie triple peck at Belle but Belle has her Hexagon deliver another hand swipe at the group who avoid the hand swipe and Noel jumps at Belle and delivers an aerial slash with Radiant Salvation and then delivers an aerial spin slash and then casts Earth and causes Belle to fall off while her Hexagon falls to the ground.
"Not bad, but it's not over..." Belle was cut off by Mint delivering a jump kick at Belle and knocks her out.
"Now it is!" Mint said.
"Ultimate weapon she calls it." Zuko said.
"Whatever. She won't bother us any longer. Now we have to find a way to get across this forest." Alibaba said.
"There's a windmill over there..." Noel said pointing a windmill.
"What will that do?" Mint asked.
"I think I have an idea. Noel, you think you can use your wind magic while I use my Airbending?" Aang asked.
"Sure, Aang." Noel said as she casts Aero on the windmill while Aang uses his Airbending on the windmill making it spin.
"Hey! Don't start without me!" Mint said as she casts her win magic on the windmill.
After enough wind on the windmill a lift starts coming down.
"Nice work. I wonder where it leads." Alibaba said.
"I really smell treasure!" Mint said as she gets on the lift.
"Hey, wait up!" Banjo said as the group get on the lift and it takes them up.
Noel, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Alibaba, Aang, Katara, Zuko, and Mint are now on what look like treetops and they get off the lift.
"We're now on trees of Gamul Forest?" Alibaba asked.
"Let's find that guardian. Hopefully, it won't be far from us." Aang said.
The group start moving through the treetops of Gamul Forest but then Black Xetis and Heartless appear and attack the group but Noel defeats the Black Xetis and the Heartless and the group continue on through the treetops of Gamul Forest and find a different lift taking them to a different part of the treetops and they keep going but like the underground ruins the treetops are like a maze and the group look like they're getting lost but they figure out how to get through the treetops and keep going while fighting off more Black Xetis and Heartless in their way and they find another lift and it takes them down to a different part of the treetops and they move through the different treetops still searching for the guardian.
"I'm SO tired! Where is that stupid guardian?" Mint asked.
"It has to be here somewhere. It's not like it's hiding." Zuko said.
"Aaaaaah!" A voice screamed.
"What was that?" Aang asked.
The group turn around and see Belle running.
"Belle followed us here?" Alibaba asked and they see Heartless chasing after her.
"Sheesh! Persistent monsters!" Belle said as she casts a spell to get rid of the Heartless. "I almost got killed." Belle said and then turns to the group. "I finally caught up to you! You won't beat me this time!" Belle said.
"Are you kidding? We just beat you and you still wanna fight?" Kazooie asked.
"Fine! I'm not holding back this time!" Mint said as she casts a spell and Belle does the same.
"Uh, maybe you two should fight another time..." Noel said.
"Ha! You're getting cold feet, little girl?" Belle asked.
"Look!" Noel said pointing at something.
"What?" Belle asked.
They turn to see what looks like a water arrow coming straight for the group and it destroys the treetops they're on.
"Not good!" Banjo said.
"Just perfect..." Zuko said and the group fall down from the treetops.
Later on the group are now in what looks like a river area of Gamul Forest.
"That was crazy..." Mint said and Belle falls on Mint.
"What was that thing that just attacked us?" Katara asked.
"I dunno, but I wanna know where we are." Mint said.
"You belong in Hell, so don't think you're in Heaven." Belle said.
"Oh, really? I'd say you'd be the Devil's mistress after what you've done!" Alibaba said.
"I guess we're all alive." Belle said.
"Yeah! I'm not croaking until I get that [relic] and rule the world!" Mint said.
"That again?" Aang asked and Mint falls.
"What's wrong with you now?" Kazooie asked.
"My leg hurts..." Mint answered.
"Hmph. Your leg is swollen big time. Talk about a klutz." Belle said.
"Um, Belle, you fell on her..." Noel said.
"Whatever!" Belle said.
"Hold still." Katara said as she uses her Waterbending to heal Mint's leg.
"I'll help." Noel said as she casts Cure on Mint.
"What'd you just do?" Mint asked.
"Just stand up." Katara said and Mint stands up.
"Hey! What happened to the pain?" Mint asked.
"We healed you." Noel said.
"I mostly did it to shut you up." Katara said.
"Hmph. Fine." Mint said.
"Now what?" Belle asked.
"We still need to find the guardian and find those earrings." Noel said.
"Well then, get moving." Belle said.
"How can we if you keep getting in our way?" Alibaba asked and just then Noel starts to feel uneasy.
"Noel, what's wrong?" Aang asked.
"We need to hurry and go..." Noel said.
"What?" Mint asked.
"Behind us!" Noel said pointing at something.
The group turn to see what looks like a giant black and dark blue whale with crimson eyes and has a Black Xeti symbol on its head.
"What is that hideous thing?!" Belle asked.
"Is that the guardian?" Mint asked.
"No, it's a Black Xeti." Noel said.
"Just what we need..." Zuko said.
The giant whale Black Xeti unleashes what looks like a giant bubble and traps Belle in it.
"Great. It has Belle." Mint said.
"We'll have to get rid of this Black Xeti." Noel said taking out Radiant Salvation.
"Then let's do that." Banjo said.
The Black Xeti known as Killer Fin flies over the group while unleashing water waves to get the group but they dodge the water waves but Killer Fin unleashes another water wave to get the group but they dodge the water waves again but Killer Fin unleashes water beams from its blowhole at the group bu Katara and Aang both bend the water beam and throw it right back at Killer Fin who retaliates with shooting bubbles to trap the group but Zuko and Alibaba use their fires to get rid of the bubbles and strike at Killer Fin but Killer Fin flies over the group and and drops water droplets over the group but Mint casts water blades at Killer Fin while Noel aerial slashes with Radiant Salvation and then casts Thunder but Killer Fin shoots water shots from its mouth at the group but Banjo has Kazooie shoot eggs while Grace uses Tackle to strike at Killer Fin in the head but Killer Fin unleashes water waves to get the group but Noel casts Blizzard to strike at Killer Fin who retaliates with water beams at the group.
The group dodge the water beams but Killer Fin unleashes more bubbles to try and trap the group but the group avoid the trapping bubbles but Killer Fin attempts to suck the group into its mouth but Zuko unleashes a jet of fire into Killer Fin's mouth making it roar in pain and then unleashes water arrows from its blowhole but Katara bends the water arrows and turns them into water blades and uses them to strike at Killer Fin but Killer Fin fires water beams but Aang bends the water beams and throws them back at Killer Fin but Killer Fin flies over the group and unleashes water pillars under the group but Grace uses Growl while Alibaba leap slashes with his knife but Killer Fin attempts to suck the group again but Mint casts whirlwinds at Killer Fin's mouth but Killer Fin fires water arrows at the group but Banjo and Kazooie charge at Killer Fin and strike but Killer Fin unleashes bubbles to trap the group again but Noel uses Strike Raid to strike at Killer Fin but Killer Fin flies over the group and drop water droplets at the group who dodge and Mint casts a fire spell while Noel triple slashes with Radiant Salvation and then casts Gravity.
Killer Fin strikes back and fires multiple water arrows from its blowhole and they drop at the group who dodge the dropping water arrows but Killer Fin unleashes water waves at the group but Mint casts fireball spells at Killer Fin while Aang unleashes whirlwinds to strike but Killer Fin attempts to suck the group into its mouth but Banjo has Kazooie shoot eggs into its mouth while Alibaba roundhouse slashes with his knife but Killer Fin unleashes water beams to get the group but Katara freezes the water beams and shatters them into ice needles and throws them at Killer Fin but Killer Fin unleashes water pillars from under the group but Zuko lashes with his flame whips while Grace tail whips to strike at its head but Killer Fin drops down water droplets at the group but Noel slashes with Radiant Salvation and then casts Fire but Killer Fin fires water shots at the group and then fires water arrows from its blowhole and they rain down at the group who dodge and Mint casts wind shots while Zuko unleashes a jet of fire while Katara throws water discs while Aang unleashes rocks and throws them while Alibaba uses Amon's fire and strikes while Grace uses Bite while Banjo has Kazooie triple peck while Noel slashes with Radiant Salvation and then uses Edge Slash and the group finish off Killer Fin and it falls to the ground while disappearing in dark mist.
"We did it!" Mint said.
"Look!" Alibaba said looking at something on the ground.
"Are those the earrings?" Banjo asked.
"YES! Jackpot!" Mint said picking up the earrings.
"So that Black Xeti had them this whole time. It must have killed the guardian and took them." Zuko said.
"Look!" Noel said pointing at the bubble popping and dropping Belle.
"I've had it..." Belle said as she falls.
"I think she's unconscious." Aang said.
"Oh, well. I'm not waking her up. We got what we came for." Mint said.
"Let's go back to Rod." Alibaba said and the group leave the river.
Later on in a room Duke sees someone coming in and it's Belle.
"Milady! You're back! I was worried." Duke said.
"Hmph! I just went through hell." Belle said.
"What happened?" Duke asked.
"Some monster showed up and attacked me! The worse part is I didn't get the earrings." Belle answered. "Duke! You'd better got gauntlets and the sollerets from the Ghost Temple!" Belle said.
"Sorry, Milady. Rue and some of Noel's friends got in the way. I couldn't get the goods." Duke said.
"WHAT?! Those snots beat you?! I can't believe you!" Belle yelled.
"Come on, Milady. You failed too." Duke said but Belle smacks him.
"SHUT UP!" Belle shouted. "Get your butt up and fix the Hexagon!" Belle ordered.
"Yes, Milady." Duke said.
"That girl Noel and her friends are starting to become a real pain! I'll get them along with both Rue and Mint! They won't be so lucky!" Belle said.
Meanwhile at the grass field Noel, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Alibaba, Aang, Katara, Zuko, and Mint return with Rod.
"Thank you for the ride, Rod." Noel said.
"Wow! Pinto was one hell of a ride." Mint said.
"How many times do I have to tell you?! Stop calling it Pinto!" Rod yelled.
"Well, thank you." Noel said.
"Yeah. See you around, Noel." Rod said.
The group return to Carona but as they go to the town they a see tiger cub.
"Huh?" Noel asked.
"What's with the tiger?" Mint asked.
"Haven't we seen it before...?" Banjo asked.
"Eevee!" Grace said.
"R-Rajin!" Noel said.
"That means..." Kazooie stops talking.
"Well, well, if it isn't Noel. Didn't think I'd see you here." A voice said and it's Tora.
"T-Tora..." Noel said.
"You know this boy?" Alibaba asked.
"Y-Yes. He's one of the Fearmongers..." Noel said.
"So he's our enemy then." Zuko said.
"Hey, I didn't come here to fight. I'm looking for something." Tora said.
"Let me guess, the Keyhole and a Heart Crystal?" Katara asked.
"Maybe...I'd might even start looking for...the [relic]." Tora said.
"WHAT?! You're after the [relic] too?! No way! That's mine and MINE alone!" Mint yelled as she takes out her ring weapons.
"Hahahahahaha! What stupid girl ya got. Where do you pick up these people, Noel? I don't have time with that worthless brat. See ya when I see ya, Noel." Tora said as he and Rajin disappear.
"Hey! Get back here!" Mint yelled but Tora and Rajin are gone.
"This is not good. If Tora and Rajin are here, then that means trouble will come for us..." Noel said.
"As if we didn't have enough trouble already." Alibaba said.
"Let's just get back to Klaus and tell him we've found the earrings. I think Rue, Ken, Espio, Cream and Cheese, Knuckles, Carmelita, and Morgiana are back there by now." Katara said.
"Let's go." Banjo said.
The group return to Klaus' house and meet with him and they find Rue, Ken, Espio, Cream and Cheese, Knuckles, Carmelita, and Morgiana.
"Welcome back, everyone." Klaus said.
"Hi, Klaus. Rue, Ken, Espio, Cream and Cheese, Knuckles, Carmelita, Morgiana." Noel said and Ken hugs Noel.
"FINALLY you're back! I hope that greedy whore didn't give ya any trouble!" Ken said.
"Shut up, you dork!" Mint yelled.
"YOU shut up!" Ken replied and they glare at each other.
"Um, how was your time at the Ghost Temple? You got the gauntlets and the sollerets?" Noel asked.
"Yeah. We managed to get them." Carmelita answered.
"Duke got in the way, but we kicked his sorry butt along with the Black Xetis that got hold of the gauntlets and the sollerets." Knuckles said.
"What about you?" Rue asked.
"We have the earrings. It wasn't easy either." Zuko answered.
"Belle got in our way too and there was a giant Black Xeti, but we took care of them and got the earrings." Alibaba said.
"Good. Everyone is safe." Cream said.
"Excellent. We're ready. I'll put the gauntlets, sollerets, and the earrings on Prima Doll." Klaus said as he puts the gauntlets, sollerets, and the earrings on Prima Doll.
A light is glowing within Prima Doll and just then it opens its eyes.
"Um, what happened?" Ken asked.
"Are you...alive?" Aang asked.
"..." Prima Doll doesn't say anything.
"He's not responding." Rue said.
"Dang! All that just to make a stupid doll sit up!" Mint said.
"I am Prima Doll. I'm not just a doll." Prima Doll said.
"Whoa! Did you just SPEAK?!" Knuckles asked.
"I am not speaking. I am mimicking. I analyze the sound from your speech and produce a proper response. The responses are purely reflex and not based on any will." Prima Doll said.
"You make it sound so complicated." Ken said.
"So, in other words, you try to match what we say." Noel said.
"Yes, Noel. You're very smart. Probably smarter than Mint." Prima Doll said.
"WHAT?!" Mint demanded.
"Excuse me. I had a slight problem with my language selection. At times, I am unable to process the proper phrase. Chill, all right?" Prima Doll said.
"YOU LITTLE!" Mint shouted.
"Settle down, Mint." Morgiana said.
"Well, you can talk, but can you move at all?" Espio asked.
"I am not complete, but I am equipped with auxiliary motive power. I'll now initiate it." Prima Doll said as he gets up and starts walking but then falls to the ground. "I'm having problems with my motive system and stability gyro." Prima Doll said.
"He can't walk yet. He needs that amulet." Klaus said.
"We need that special material to make it." Noel said.
"Did you find out anything about it?" Rue asked.
"Oh, about the phantomite. I read through some old books while you were gone. I found out where to get it." Klaus said.
"That's great. Where can we get it?" Banjo asked.
"At Raging Mountain. Wylaf lives there. He's known for collecting priceless gems and minerals. There's a good chance he has the phantomite." Klaus said.
"PRICELESS GEMS AND MINERALS?! I'll go! I'll go! I'll get the phantomite and the gems while I'm at it. I'm gonna be RICH!" Mint said.
"Wow, you ARE greedy." Alibaba said.
"If you insist. Wylaf is a great dragon, over a thousand years old. I wouldn't challenge him." Klaus said.
"What? He's a dragon?" Ken asked.
"A very powerful dragon. Legend has it he can harness the fire in the land at will." Klaus said.
"..." Mint doesn't say anything and leaves.
"Where you going?" Knuckles asked.
"Yeah, right. You think I'm stupid? You go get the phantomite. I'm gonna get the tiara Noel lost to Belle." Mint said.
"At least we're goin' to Raging Mountain! At least we have GUTS to go there! Cowardly whore!" Ken said.
"Ugh! Shut up! Just go already!" Mint said as she leaves.
"I hate her." Zuko said.
"Rue, you going to Raging Mountain with us?" Katara asked.
"Yes." Rue answered.
"I'll make a map for you. I'm sorry I haven't been any help to you. Good luck and be careful." Klaus said.
The group leave Klaus' house and leave town and make their way to Raging Mountain.
