In the morning, the Heroes were all having dinner with the Sunny Kingdom Family.

"You two should know better to wake up on time in the morning." King Truth said to his daughters.

Fine chuckled. "I'm sorry."

"It's so comfortable to stay in bed." Rein said.

"I can agree with that," Eddy said.

"I see," King Truth took out an invite. "I guess I shouldn't give this to such lazy princesses then."

"Hey Your Majesty, what's that?" Sonic asked.

"It's an invitation to the Full Moon Festival."

"We received it from the Moon Kingdom this morning." Queen Elsa said.

"The Full Moon Festival?" Double-D said.

"What's that?" Luigi asked.

"It's a very happy festival in the Moon Kingdom." Queen Elsa explained. "They have it once a year, and it's today."

"Oh, such a festival!" The twins said.

"I want to go to a festival." Aya smiled.

"I do too!" Penny said.

"Poyo!" Kirby said happily

"A festival? I haven't been to one before," Saki said.

"I'm sure it will be fantastic." Zelda smiled.

"Sounds fun!" Sonic said.

"Oh yeah!" Mario said.

"Festival you guys!" Ed said excitedly.

"Father, please!" Rein pleaded.

"Starting tomorrow, I'll wake up on time! I promise!" Fine said.

"Okay, Okay." King Truth chuckled.

"Have a safe trip." Queen Elsa said.

"Don't worry, they'll be in good-a hands," Mario said as later they got on the airship and flew off.


They flew over the Moon Kingdom where it is decorated for the festival.

"Wow, it looks fun!" Fine said as they looked out of the window.

"I'll say!" Sonic grinned.

"Back on Remnant, we had something like this called the Vytal Festival," Penny said. "It's where many Huntsmen around the world come together for a tournament."

"So cool!" Ed said. "Did you compete?"

"Well yes, but... I'd rather not speak of the rest..."

"Ah, what's that doll?" Rein said as they see a giant balloon of a clown. "It's so cute!"

"You think that's cute?" Eddy said sarcastically.

"It's the god that protects the Moon Kingdom, Mon Mon Golem-pumo." Poomo explained. "He wakes up once a year and makes people's wishes come true-pumo. That's what the Moon Festival is all about-pumo."

"Their god is a clown?" Eddy said. "But you had me at makes people's wishes come true."

"Mon Mon Golem is a cute name!" Fine gushed.

"I want to see him!"

"Seriously?" Eddy sighed.


Later, they arrived at the Moon Kingdom castle throne room.

"It's an honor to be here today," Double-D bowed. "Thank you for the invitation, Your Highness."

But Moon Malia, Milky, and Chancellor Roman looked at them in confusion.

"What? Did we come at the wrong time?" Sonic asked.

"Ba babu, babu." Milky said.

"Poyo?" Kirby said in surprise.

"What!? Nobody invited us!?" Fine said.

"What, wait?" Knuckles said.

"I can't believe this!" Rein cried.

"But, we received an invitation," Luigi said.

"That is high grounds for suspicion, I must say!" Double-D said.

"So we came here for nothing?" Eddy said as Fine and Rein do their 'I Hate It' dance.

Chancellor Roman cleared his throat. "Well, they have come a long way to visit us, so..."

"Please, stay and enjoy the festival." Moon Malia said.

"Do you mean that?"

"Waai! This is cool!" Fine and Rein said happily.

"Now, it's time for the 'Thank You' dance!"

They do the 'Thank You' dance with Milky, Kirby, and Ed joining in.

Zelda giggled. "They're so adorable."

"Well, maybe I can agree with that." Saki smiled, Link nodding as well.

Sonic then looked at the Chancellor and gives him an 'I'm watching you' gesture but if he noticed it, he didn't show it.


Later, the Heroes arrived at the Full Moon Festival.

"Wow!" Fine and Rein looked in awe.

"The mood looks very lively!"

"It looks fun!"

"This is amazing!" Penny said.

"Wow." Aya looked in awe, having never seen stuff like this back where she was from.

"I never got a chance to go to a festival, especially with... friends," Saki said.

Rolf smiled as he looked around. "The festivals Rolf celebrated back in the Old Country are like this!"

"Well guys, how about we go have some fun?" Sonic said.

"Oh yeah!" Mario smiled.

"Poyo!" Kirby hopped happily.

"This is going to be great!" Impa smiled.

"Babu!" Milky cooed as they all enjoy the festivities, but they didn't know that clouds were forming above.

"I heard the moon-viewing dumplings are really great here," Fine said as they were walking to a restaurant.

"Are you still hungry-pumo?" Poomo asked in exasperation.

"Couldn't blame them, the food here is great." Tails said.

"We're in an alien world and yet the food here looks and tastes exactly like the ones from Earth," Saki said.

"But this is a beautiful garden, a perfect place for viewing the moon." Rein looked up and saw the clouds covering the moon.

"Clouds?" Knuckles spoke.

"Oh dear, how unlucky for the festival," Double-D frowned.

"Princesses! Heroes!" They turned to see one of the castle servants running up to them. "Allow me to interrupt you, Moon Malia-Sama has kindly asked you for to return to the castle right away."

"What's the fuss about?" Sonic asked.

"It seems that Mon Mon Golem, who makes people's wishes come true, won't wake up this year."

"Eh!?"


Later, they returned back to the Moon Kingdom Castle.

"I'm sorry, I know you were having a good time at the festival, but Milky and I have to start the praying ceremony now." Moon Malia said.

"I heard Mon Mon Golem won't wake up," Fine said.

"What exactly does that mean?" Rein said.

"Mon Mon Golem is sleeping in the underground shrine in the Mon Mon Ruins." Moon Malia explained. "The shrine is usually dark, but the moonlight shines into it today, which awakens Mon Mon Golem. However, the moon is somehow covered by dark clouds today, and the light isn't reaching him."

"I see, what will happen if he doesn't wake up?" Zelda asked.

"When Mon Mon Golem wakes up, he provides this kingdom with power for the year." Moon Malia explained. "If he doesn't wake up, the Full Moon won't shine anymore, and it will be completey dark at night. We are performing the awakening ceremony in the shrine right now. We really have to wake Mon Mon Golem up."

"That sounds terrible." Tails said.

"I'm sorry for worrying you, I suggest you should go back to the festival and enjoy yourselves." Moon Malia suggested.


Later, the Heroes were walking down the halls.

"Milky looked sad you guys," Ed said sadly.

"Yeah, I actually feel bad for her," Eddy said.

"She may be little, but she knows this is bad-pumo!" Poomo cried. "I'm really sorry for her!"

"There has to be something we can do, can't we?" Penny said.

"Hmmmm, we should go everyone!" Fine spoke. "This is exactly when..."

"...We should use the power of the Prominence to help them out!" Rein finished.

"Hey yeah! I was thinking about that!" Sonic grinned.

"Now that it's decided,"

"We have to run to Mon Mon Ruins!"

"Let's go!"

"Let's go save the Moon Kingdom, that's what heroes do!" Ed said as he, Fine, and Rein ran.

"Ah! Do you three know where the Ruins are-pumo!?" Poomo cried as the three fell to the floor.

"Uh... nope." Ed said as they sighed.

"Mama-Mia..." Mario said, shaking his head.


Somewhere else which look like a lab, some obviously evil-looking hooded figures were analyzing the current events.

"How is it going?" Said one with a mustache.

"Have a good look, sir. This device keeps the Full Moon covered by the clouds so it's unable to shine." One of them said as another dropped in like a ninja.

"Allow me to inform you that the twin princesses and the heroes appear to be going to Mon Mon Ruins."

"If Mon Mon Golem doesn't wake up, Moon Malia power will become weak, and she'll lose her political influence."

"And if we learn the secret behind the Prominence, the power of the twin princesses we lured,"

"The world will be ours." The hooded figures said as their leader grinned evilly.

"But we also have to get those Heroes out of the way first."

"That's where we come in."

The group all jumped, noticing that their communications were hijacked. After a brief bit of static, they see none other than Bowser and Eggman.

"Who are you?" The hood leader said.

"Apologize, I am Dr. Eggman, and this is my partner and good friend Bowser."

"What do you want with us?"

"You see those puny heroes that accompany those teeny twins?" Bowser asked with a sneer.

The leader nodded. "Why yes, they seem to be in the way of our plans."

"Well, how about an agreement?" Eggman said.

"An agreement?" The hood leader said as Bowser nodded.

"We help you get those twins while you help us destroy those heroes!"

"Well, what do you say? Do we have an agreement?" Eggman as the hood leader smiled.

"Yes, we do."


Later, the Heroes arrived at the ruins along.

"So these are the Mon Mon Ruins?" Fine said.

"Thank you very much for bringing us here." Rein motioned to Chancellor Roman who took them there.

"It's nothing, I can't just sit around when our kingdom is in big trouble."

"We must wake up Mon Mon Golem!" Ed said.

"If only Camelot was here, her voice could wake up even the latest riser." Rein said.

"Ignorance is a bliss-pumo. You keep sleeping every morning while she's yelling at you-pumo." Poomo said as the twins sweatdropped.

"Yeah, we tried to wake you guys up, but nothing." DK said. "Not even my bongos did the trick!"

"And I thought Kirby was a heavy sleeper." Sonic chuckled as Kirby pouted in response.

"I heard about your exploits, I'm counting on you," Roman said.

"Now that he said it,"

"We have to do our very best!" Fine and Rein said as they entered the ruins. While they were, Fine clung to Rein in fear as Luigi held onto Aya's hand.

"Impressive, I never imagined that there would be a place like this underground," Rein said.

"Yeah, it's like we're in the temple of doom!" Ed said.

"I think a ghost may appear here..." Fine said fearfully.

"Don't be scared Fine, we're here for you." Mario said. "Besides, Luigi and I have been to all sorts of underground places. This is no-a different!"

"Yes, this is a god's home, there's no way a ghost would appear here," Rein said.

"Oh true! Alright then, let's go go go!" Fine said but bats flew past them making her scream and run.

"Those are Mon Mon Bats, they live in the ruins." Roman said. "Don't worry, they're harmless."

"Until the little rats bite ya..." Eddy grumbled, Link and Impa nodding in agreement as they recalled the many Keese they killed.

"Hey, don't scare me like that," Fine said.

"Be careful everyone, in places like this there will be some traps," Penny said as Fine stepped on a plate which caused the floor to open under her feet.

"FINE!" The Heroes exclaimed as they were about to go save her but then Fine was latched to something which brought her back to the surface before she could fall to her doom.

"Fine! Are you okay?" Double-D said as he quickly ran over to the pink-clad princess.

"Yes, I'm okay, thank you for saving me."

"That wasn't any of us Fine..." Tails said.

"But, who did?"

"Well, you were saved, and that's what counts." Rein smiled.

"It wasn't any of them? Then, who in the world...?" Fine thought, thinking who saved her.

Poomo had a hand on his chest in relief. "You shortened my life-pumo."

"Let's continue carefully, shall we?" Double-D said as they continued traversing through the ruins, but what they didn't know was that the one who saved Fine was Eclipse.

"We are now in the Mon Mon Great Holy Hall," Roman said as they looked around.

"Intriguing!" Double-D mused.

"So this is Mon Mon Golem's bedroom?" Fine said.

"Sure looks that way," Sonic said.

"Look, there are people here," Impa said as they see multiple people looking tired.

"They must be from the praying ceremony trying to wake it up." Knuckles said.

"Is that-a Mon Mon Golem?" Mario said as they see a giant clown sleeping.

"He's so huge!" Fine said.

"But..."

"...Somehow..."

"He's so cute!" Fine and Rein gushed as they began dancing.

"Aw, he's like a giant little baby," Ed cooed.

"Well we're gonna have to wake this big baby up!" Eddy said as they heard rumbling and they see Mon Mon Golem turned over to his side.

"Mon Mon Golem-Sama turned over in his sleep?" One of the ceremony dancers said.

"Maybe he'll wake up if we put more effort into it," DK said.

"Maybe because it was Fine and Rein's dance?" Zelda said.

"Yes, we should dance again!" Rein said.

"No, no, no. I think, er, you should use the power of the Prominence now." Roman said.

"How does he know about Fine and Rein's powers?" Sonic, Double-D, and Zelda all systematically thought.

"Oh, I see." The twins said as Eclipse was hiding behind a wall and frowned.

"Then, let's do it." Fine said as she took out her Luche but then it was snagged by Eclipse's whip.

"It's Eclipse!" Knuckles exclaimed.

"Sic' him, Ed!" Eddy said.

"Arf!" Ed barked, transforming into a wolf-human hybrid and pouncing after Eclipse, but he slipped and landed on his front, slipping past Eclipse as he crashed into a wall. "Home free."

Before Eclipse could make his escape, his hand was hit by a rock thrown by Roman, losing the Luche.

"Minister!" Fine and Rein cried.

"Hurry and use the Prominence."

Link quickly grabbed the compact and threw it into Fine's hands.

"We must stop the villain!" Ed said, now recovered, was about to go after Eclipse.

"No Ed, he's not worth it right now!" Double-D said, putting a hand on his friend's shoulder as he changed back to normal.

"That villain is trying to take the power of the Prominence," Roman said. "Don't chase him too far, he's dangerous."

"Buddy, we faced creeps more dangerous than him," Sonic said.

"He tried to take... the Prominence?" Fine thought before realizing something. "But isn't he the one who helped me out of the hole?"

"Fine, let's Prominence!" Rein said.

"O-Okay." Fine nodded as they transformed.

"He could have ruined my plan." Roman thought with a scowl. "Now, let me see the power of the Prominence. Although, since we hidden the Full Moon, I don't think they can possibly wake up Mon Mon Golem."

"Twin twinkle bloomish! Mon Mon Golem, wake up!" The twin chanted as the magic sparkles shined brightly making everyone look in awe.

"Woah, haven't seen this before!" Eddy said as he and Ed put on sunglasses due to the brightness.

"Maybe it's something amazing!" Penny said as the magic sparkles formed into what it looks like a kitchen.

"Huh!? W-What is this?!" Fine gawked.

"I think... it looks like a kitchen, but..." Rein said.

"A japanese-style kitchen?" Double-D said.

"How's this gonna wake the big baby up?" Eddy asked, throwing his hands in the air in exasperation.

"Look, there are aprons here," Rein said as she held an apron.

"Aprons?" Fine questioned as they put on the aprons. "How do we look, everyone?"

"You look great, Fine and Rein," Zelda smiled.

"Positively adorable!" Luigi beamed with a thumbs-up.

"But how are you going to wake up Mon Mon Golem?" Saki asked as they then see Fine and Rein cooking.

"Heroes, what's going on here?" Roman asked.

"Beats me." Eddy shrugged.

"But we trust them!" Ed said.

"It looks like the rice is almost cooked." Fine said.

"My Miso Soup is almost ready too!" Rein said as Mon Mon Golem began to smell the aroma.

"Look, Mon Mon Golem is waking up!" Penny said.

"I see, since he's slept for a whole year."

"He's hungry!" Fine and Rein both said.

"Golem-Chan!"

"Time for breakfast!" The twins called out as Mon Mon Golem opened his eyes and stood up with a stretch.

"Mon!"

"Hey, you did it!" Sonic said.

"The great moon god has awakened!" Rolf said, getting on his knees and spreading his arms in prayer.

"I knew it, you don't want to be yelled at in the morning," Fine said. "You want your mom to sweetly wake you up."

"Why yes, a mother would wake her child with a warm voice," Double-D said.

"My mother was like that." Aya smiled.

"Mon!" Mon Mon Golem cried as Fine and Rein served him the food.

"Now Golem-Chan!"

"Enjoy your breakfast!" Fine and Rein said.

"Mon!"

"Uh-oh, this is going to be bad-pumo!"

"Calm down, little guy, since these guys trust those two I trust them." DK said. "And any friends of ol' DK's pal is a friend of DK!"

"But you don't understand! Those two are terrible cooks! If Mon Mon Golem eats this, I'm sure he'll get sick and go back to bed-pumo!"

"Way to be brutally honest, man." Sonic shook his head as everyone saw Mon Mon eating the food before smiling.

"This is good!"

"Huh!?" Poomo and Roman gawked.

"He said it's good!" Fine and Rein said.

"Wow, I'm glad!"

"People enjoy our cooking if they have a taste for it!"

"I guess Mon Mon Golem's taste is different from ordinary people's." Double-D said.

"You were saying?" Sonic said to Poomo who slumped.

Mon Mon sees the clouds covering the moon before exhaling a gust of wind, blowing away the clouds.

"Woah, he sure can blow." Knuckles said as the moon shined brightly.

"It's the Healing Moonlight-pumo."

"Wow, so beautiful!"

"Oh yeah!" Mario said, jumping in the air and flashing a V for victory.

"Marvelous, indeed." Double-D nodded.

"It's nice to see the moon here isn't shattered," Penny said.

"Wait, what was that?" Impa questioned, turning to the Bio-Android Maiden curiously.

"I think everyone's wish will come true now," Rein said.

"Milky must be happy!" Fine said as Roman looked in awe.

"The power of the Prominence... I didn't expect it to be this great..." Roman thought. "I've changed my mind! I will obtain this power at any cost!"


"You have renewed everyone's hope. I would like to give you all my highest compliments." Moon Malia said as the Heroes were back in the throne room. "Thank you, Fine, Rein, Heroes."

"No sweat, Your Highness," Sonic said.

"Baba bubu babu!" Milky said happily.

"Shade, you have to thank them too."

"Shade?'

"Milky's older brother, right?" Fine and Rein said.

"I'm very grateful to you for saving our country in a crisis." They turned to Shade.

"Oh, please! No thanks are necessary!" Rein chuckled.

"That kid... he looks so familiar," Sonic whispered.

"Yeah, it's like we've seen him before." Tails said as Fine noticed a bruise on Shade's hand.

"Did you injured your hand?"

"Uh, yes. I got hurt while riding a horse. It's nothing serious. I hope you'll enjoy your stay here."

"Ah, he somehow... look familiar..." Fine said.

"We noticed it too, Fine," Penny said. "But it's best if we keep a low profile."

"Hey, hey. Bright-Sama is gorgeous, but Shade-Sama is cool and great too, isn't he?" Rein smiled.

Fine silently nodded. "Um, yeah.


Meanwhile, Chancellor Roman was walking through the halls before seeing Shade.

"Oh, good day, Shade-Sama. Where have you been all this time?"

"Do I need to answer?" Shade said, walking past him.

"Of course not, I just mean that I wouldn't like to see the future king being so irresponsible."

"What I do is none of your business, Minister." Shade said, turning to him. "You can't just do whatever you want."

He then leaves as Roman scoffed.

"Don't be so conceited, boy."

Roman then took out a special phone after making sure Shade was out of hearing range and contracted Eggman.

"How goes it?"

"The Prominence is greater than I imagined. It would do us good to find a way to take it for ourselves."

"Ah ,yes, I've heard of this magic...you and I are thinking the exact same thing. I need a new power source for my mechs, after all..."


Knightmare Lord A/N:

The evil Chancellor Roman has formed an alliance with the Bowser-Eggman Army! We also have Prince Shade, the true identity of Eclipse!


Bloodyguy A/N:

Always love a good ol' villain team-up! And isn't it obvious that Eclipse IS Shade?
