CHAPTER 13-1
-Arcaine's SunMoonFlower-
Everything began to get drawn, due to this being the start of a new world. When everything was colored in, everything looked pretty nice. The ground was grassy and a pure grassy green color and the sky looked like it was daytime out. There were even some trees and the sun was brighter than ever. In fact, some of the flowers were just plain sunflowers.
As the six heroes walked out of the light blue door, they instantly gaped when they came across this brand new world.
"I don't believe it…" Luigi gaped. "This place is beautiful! I mean, it's A LOT better than that previous world…"
"Hmmmmmm… I do agree! This is a nice, peaceful world. I do prefer it over the previous world, that's for sure." Timpani looked down at all of the beautiful sunflowers that were on the ground. "Blumiere, doesn't this world look pretty?"
"It does indeed, dear Timpani," Blumiere agreed. "However, this world isn't as pretty as you are, my love."
"You're so sweet, Blumiere!" Timpani giggled. From what Chopper was hearing, he felt like he was going to get sick, so he instantly put the wand away and made sure he wouldn't hear any more lovey-dovey stuff.
"Poyo? (Why'd you put that away?)" Kirby asked.
"Because… I don't want to hear any of that." Chopper replied with a disgusted face. "But, anyway… I suppose we can move on, right? This place is pretty enough already, so exploring should be nice!"
When they took a couple of steps into this world, they noticed that some of the blocks were too high to reach. Two ? Blocks in particular were too far for anyone to jump up to. It seemed that the only way to reach them was to use a jump that could launch you to great heights.
"Leave those blocks to me!" Luigi declared as he used a Super Jump to launch himself up to the two blocks. A Happy Flower appeared from one of them, while a Poison Zombie Shroom popped out of the other.
"What's THAT supposed to be?!"
"It's a Poison Zombie Shroom!" Sonic declared. "I don't think you WANT to get hurt by that thing… I'm PRETTY sure that you're going to get poisoned from it! So… Watch out for it!"
When the Poison Zombie Shroom came their way, Luigi stomped on it a couple of times and allowed it to disintegrate into smoke. "Phew! That was a close one… I didn't want to get poisoned by that thing!"
"Hmmmmm… I wonder if we can find out what this world is." Chopper pulled his communicator out and got into contact with Flyer. "Hey, Flyer. We're at the new world. It's very nice compared to the other."
"Ah, so you're finally in the next world!" Flyer noticed. "Excellent! From what I can see in the background, there's some grass and a nice view of the sun! Sounds like a nice place to go out on a date!"
"Scanners indicate that you are in a world called Sun and Moon World," C-2 Choppor informed. "There are two areas in this world. One world is always daytime while the other side is nighttime. The Sunny people are of this area and the Mooners are of the night area."
"Yes, Choppor is correct. What I would recommend doing is asking some people that you find around these parts if they've seen a Pure Heart…or rather, some mysterious object shaped like a heart. Maybe you can get some information from them!"
"Well, we do see a castle out in the background," Blade mentioned as he pointed to the castle. "Don't suppose that we need to go over there and take a look? From what I'm seeing, there could be a king there."
"If that's your only option, then… I guess you should do it." Vivian nodded.
"Right. We'll try to find those, er… Sunny people! Yeesh! What a weird name for people around here…" Chopper closed his communicator and put it away. Everyone agreed and continued up the small hill, where they saw these strange small sun enemies that were spitting fire out.
"Poyo… (Those are weird-looking enemies…)" Kirby trailed as he inhaled one of them to gain the Fire ability. "Poyo! (But at least they give me the Fire ability! I guess it's because they're suns!)"
"Hold on, let's see what information I can get from these guys," Chopper pulled Timpani's wand out and let it emit a ray of rainbow light. It flashed on the sun enemy and Timpani began to gather some info on it.
"That's a Sunoid. They're like smaller versions of the sun, except they're not as dangerous as it. Max HP is 46. Attack is 10. They tend to spit out small fireballs if you're at a far range, or they might spit some fire breath at a close range. They're weak to water, so if you find any water, it's not a bad idea to use it against them. These things are said to come from the sun… That's rather strange…" Timpani informed.
"Dang… If only we had some water to help us." Chopper attempted to stomp on the Sunoid, but he ended up burning his feet instead. "Ow! What the heck?! I can't stomp on this thing?!"
"I think it's because it's like the sun and is made out of fire…" Luigi guessed. "At least, that's what I think."
"Hmmmmm… Then let's see how this works." Blade drew his katana and struck the other Sunoid with a hurricane slash. It was able to blow it away and even defeat it without any problems. He tossed Hommissile at the Darkling up ahead with the green eyes and green bulb. Luigi was starting to get a bit curious at what Blade used.
"Say, Blade… What's that you got there? That thing that blew that enemy up?"
"Oh, this?" Blade pointed at Hommissile. "This is a Pixl! This one's called Hommissile, and he's capable of destroying things on sight and even blowing up some cracks in the wall! He's pretty awesome, I'll admit."
"Ummmmm… OK. So, is there any Pixl I could use?" Luigi asked.
"Well, you can take this Pixl if you want," Chopper had Thoreau go over to Luigi. "He's one of the few Pixls that are pretty much available. You could use others if you want, if you'd like."
"I'm all right," Luigi assured as they found a large, grassy wall in their way. It was too high for any of them to jump, unfortunately. However, Luigi managed to launch himself up to the top of the hill with a Super Jump.
"Dang! That jump's impressive!" Blade commented.
"Well, how do we get up there?" Chopper asked as he groaned. "Now that I think about it… I think bringing Flyer, Parakarry, or Vivian here wouldn't have been a bad idea… Although, that WOULD'VE been a bit too much…"
Mario: We'll find a way up there!
One climb later-
"Oh, gee… This sure was a way to get up here…" Chopper grumbled as they reached the top of the hill. They saw down the slope that there were a couple of Koopa Troopas with yellow shells walking up the hill.
"Oh… Well if you would excuse me…" he allowed himself to slide down the hill in order to knock away all of the Sun Koopas (that's what they're called here) and then jump over the bottomless pit near the hill to reach the door.
"Well, I guess you had to do that," Luigi stated as he slid down the hill and jumped over the bottomless pit. When everyone else got over to the door, they headed through into the next area, which was flat. They couldn't see the castle here, however.
"Hmmmmmm… Well, I suppose we can move on, right?" Sonic suggested as he took a couple of steps before hearing a robotic sound.
"HALT! YOU ARE UNAUTHORIZED TO BE WALKING THROUGH SUN TERRITORY!" Out in the background, they could see a large sun statue. From what they could see, it wasn't big, but when it flew over to them, it was pretty big.
"What the heck's going on now?!" Luigi yelped.
"It's apparently a sun stone…" Timpani informed. "I don't know why it's trying to attack us, but I guess it doesn't think we're on the friendly side… Although, as much as I don't want to fight this thing, I'm afraid we have no other choice."
"ALL INTRUDERS WILL BE TERMINATED!" the Sun statue raised its fists and began to pound on the grassy ground. The pounding even lifted everyone off the air because of how heavy they were.
"Whoa! These are some heavy fists!" Sonic shrieked. "And they seem rather tough too! I think they're made of some kind of sun rock!"
"As if we've gone through some stones already," Chopper groaned, recalling the times that he's faced countless stone enemies before. "All right, I guess we'll have to fight this thing… As much as I won't like it, though."
They readied themselves, with Chopper using Timpani's wand to gather information on the new enemy.
"That's the Sun Guardian. It's said that this thing will come to life if it ever spots intruders. Max HP is 170. Attack is 10. Defense is 2. Its main attack is using its fists, which can be a bit difficult to hit when the Sun Guardian raises them. You might want to have Luigi use his Super Jump when they're up like that. If you hit its fists, they might be stunned, but his weak point is up at the head. While it's a guardian, it's not exactly on anyone's side…" Timpani informed.
"Whoa… So this thing's pretty tough to hit, I guess…" Luigi trailed as he saw the Sun Guardian's fists slam to the ground again. Everyone jumped to avoid getting stunned, but Luigi managed to hit the statue's head, causing it to cringe in pain.
"ERROR 402 IN HEAD! DO NOT LET THE INTRUDERS HIT THE HEAD!" From what they could all hear, the Sun Guardian was speaking kind of like a robot, which was awfully strange for a statue.
"Wow… Kind of weird if you ask me." Chopper jumped out of the way of one of the Sun Guardian's fists and stomped on it himself. "I'll admit, this kind of reminds me of the fight with Wham Bam Rock and Wham Bam Jewel."
"Poyo, (Oh, yeah, I remember that,)" Kirby recalled as he spat a fireball at one of the Sum Guardian's fists. However, when the Sun Guardian slammed its fists on the ground, Chopper and Kirby got hit by the shockwave and were stunned for a couple of seconds. This allowed the Sun Guardian to knock them back with a punch.
"Man, I wish my katana could actually do something against stone," Blade grumbled as he slashed at the right fist (his right) repeatedly. It was dealing some damage, but it didn't seem to work that well.
Mario: Why not use Hommissile?
"Hold on, Blade, I'll stun him for you," Luigi said as he struck the Sun Guardian's head with a Super Jump. While it was stunned, Blade tossed Hommissile straight at the Sun Guardian's fist, destroying it.
"Hey! We destroyed one of its fists!" Sonic smiled until a new fist appeared right in front of them. "Wait… We can't destroy its fists? All they'll do is regenerate on their own?! That's ridiculous!"
"I can definitely agree with you on that," Timpani agreed. "But, I think the only way you're actually going to defeat this thing easily is with attacks to the head. You CAN use the fists to reach its head, if you want."
"Then I'm going to try!" Sonic curled up in a ball as he jumped and performed a Spin Jump on one of the Sun Guardian's fists while it slammed on the ground and stunned the heroes. Since Sonic was able to bounce on the fist, he was able to strike the Sun Guardian's head with a Homing Attack, making it cringe for a couple of seconds.
"I think I can hit it a couple of more times," he thought to himself as he continued to Spin Jump on the Sun Guardian's head. The statue managed to knock him away with a simple little whack and then bring its fist down on Mario.
Mario: Mama mia…
"Hold on, Bro! I'll save you!" Luigi used his little Cyclone attack to strike at the Sun Guardian's fists and sun them for a couple of seconds. Mario brushed himself afterward and stomped on the fists to reach the head. With a Ground Pound, he left the statue with a little crack.
"Ouch… Now that's gotta hurt." Chopper commented.
"Well not as much as THIS!" Blade tossed Hommissile straight up to the Sun Guardian's head, causing an immense explosion. Kirby also attacked the Sun Guardian's head by floating up to it and surrounding himself in a spinning fireball that nearly burnt the Sun Guardian. Of course, it couldn't be burnt because it was only made of stone.
"HOW FOOLISH! YOU CAN'T BURN ME WITH FIRE! NOW TASTE THE TRUE POWER OF THE SUN!" the Sun Guardian cackled as its eyes suddenly began to glow like the sun and create a flash that left everyone dazed.
"Wh-What just happened?!" Luigi cried as he got smacked by one of the Sun Guardian's fists. Chopper was squished by one of them when it came down on top of him and Blade was knocked over by a flick of the Sun Guardian's finger.
"Poyo… (It stinks that fire's not going to do much…)" Kirby sighed as he began to breath fire on the fists. It didn't do much, so he simply floated to the Sun Guardian's head and spun in a fireball again.
"If there's one thing I learned from fighting this guy, it's that not all stone giants are friendly…" Chopper trailed as he stomped on one of the Sun Guardian's fists and stomped on its head. He began to attack it a couple of times with a spinning kick as he landed on the ground.
"Do you think ice will do anything against it?" Luigi asked.
"I doubt it. It's a statue. The only thing that would possibly hurt it would be with some kind of drill."
This suddenly gave Sonic an idea. He used a Spin Jump to bounce off the fists and hit the Sun Guardian's head with a Spin Jump and then used Screwdy to perform a corkscrew. He came down on its head like a drill and made a hole through its head, causing immense pain to the statue.
"NO! HOW DID YOU FIND SOMETHING THAT IS ABLE TO PIERCE THROUGH MY HEAD?!" the Sun Guardian screamed as it held its head in pain. "YOU HAVE ANGERED THE SUN GUARDIAN! FOR THAT, I WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOUR GAMES WILL END BY MY FISTS!"
"Oh, boy… This isn't good." Luigi gulped as he saw the Sun Guardian's Fists clashing toward each other. However, he managed to avoid this attack by using a Super Jump to strike the Sun Guardian's head and continued to stomp on its head while performing stylish moves.
"I think this can work out for us! I've smashed rocks before, so this shouldn't be any different!" Luigi smirked as he landed on the ground while leaving the Sun Guardian stunned.
"Yeesh, does this thing need to speak in all caps? Yelling really isn't good for you…" Chopper trailed.
"YOU PEOPLE ARE NOT WELCOME HERE. YOU'LL SOON BE CRUSHED BY THE POWER OF MY STONE FISTS!" the Sun Guardian barked as its eyes flashed and caused everyone to go blind for a couple of seconds. This time, it fired a beam of solar energy to the ground that nearly burnt everyone to a crisp.
"It appears that he can also burn you with solar energy…" Timpani gaped. "This might not end well if it continues to do that…"
"Well, I'll try something," Luigi shook the soot off him an performed another Super Jump. Two yellow stars were also left on the ground from the solar energy beam for Chopper to inhale. When Luigi struck the Sun Guardian's head with a Super Jump, he jumped on its fist and spat out the two stars he inhaled at the Sun Guardian's head.
"DAMAGE LEVEL RISING… THIS ISN'T GOOD…" the Sun Guardian gulped as it shook Chopper off and squished him with its fist. Mario started bashing at its fist to stun them, but it didn't work when he got knocked back by its punch. Of course, this didn't make everyone happy.
"All right, time for another explosion," Blade said with a serious look as he tossed Hommissile straight at the Sun Guardian. A huge explosion emitted from Hommissile as he clashed with the Sun Guardian.
"Heh heh heh! That'll teach you!"
"Well, at least he's not far from being beaten," Luigi sighed in relief as he jumped on the Sun Guardian's fist and managed to pummel the enemy with a couple of stomps. When he landed on the grassy ground, he used a Super Jump to hit the Sun Guardian's head once again.
"How far until this statue's down?" Sonic asked.
"It shouldn't be long until you defeat it…" Timpani informed. "However, you still need to be careful of its attacks. That solar beam could probably incinerate you next time it even hits you with it."
"Oh… Well that's not good." Chopper gulped as he bashed one of the Sun Guardian's fists with his hammer. He jumped on top of it and spun his hammer around vertically at the Sun Guardian's head to leave it cracked. Sonic joined in by going up to its head and using Screwdy's corkscrew attack once again.
"YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN, INTRUDERS! NOW YOU'RE GOING TO FACE MY WRATH ONCE AGAIN!" the Sun Guardian unleashed its solar energy beam once again, but everyone was lucky enough to jump out of the way. While it was busy, Mario jumped on one of its fists and stomped on its head and then used a Ground Pound to leave it stunned. However, it was Kirby who got to leave it dazed for longer when he struck it while spinning in a fireball.
"Hey! That was pretty good, Kirby!" Chopper complimented.
"Poyo! (Thanks, Chopper!)" Kirby smiled and gave him a high five. While they did that, Blade threw a couple of shurikens at the Sun Guardian's head, but they didn't seem to work, just like his katana.
"Awww man! That's weak!" Blade frowned as he kicked a pebble on the ground. "How come my attacks won't do much against this thing? All I can do is try to blow it up with Hommissile!"
"Then do it," suggested Blumiere.
"Oh… All right then!" Blade tossed Hommissile straight at the Sun Guardian's head once again, making another explosion. Mario was able to get on to its fists and strike it with a Ground Pound to the head. Chopper even got a chance to stomp on the Sun Guardian's head a couple of times!
"This is really fun! You guys should do this!" he suggested as he kept bouncing off its head. Unfortunately, for him, he ended up getting squished by the Sun Guardian's fist. But, what made it better was that the Sun Guardian ended up hitting itself in the process.
"Oh ho ho ho! Now THAT was awesome!" Sonic chuckled as he struck the Sun Guardian with a Homing Attack while it was dazed. From what they could see, this thing was nearly defeated.
Mario: One more hit should do it!
"Luigi, you may do the honors," Chopper said as he stepped out of the way. "We're not taking no for an answer anyway."
"Well… All right, I guess I'll finish this off!" Luigi walked right under the Sun Guardian's head and folded himself. He launched himself up after folding enough times and struck the Sun Guardian with one last Super Jump.
"DANGER! GUARDIAN'S HP HAS BEEN DEPLETED! YOU… YOU INTRUDERS ARE TOO GOOD FOR ME! PERHAPS YOU ARE…THE CHOSEN ONES…" Before it could continue, it disintegrated into ashes.
"What a strange way for something to die off…" Timpani trailed.
"Yeah… And did it say that we were 'the chosen ones'?" Luigi blinked a couple of times as he looked down at the ashes. "What exactly does that mean? Like… The six heroes or something?"
"Maybe…" Chopper pondered, but decided not to let it bother him. "Well, let's not let it bother us. I think it's time we wandered around here…aimlessly."
"…Why?" Blade gawked.
"Ehhhh… I don't know, honestly. I just wanted to see how you people would react." Chopper whirled around and ran over to the door ahead with his speed. Everyone else followed him into an area with a couple of small grass platforms leading up to a large hill above. There were even some sunflower-like enemies on some of the platforms and, according to Timpani, they're called…Sunflowers. Yeah, it's perhaps the most ORIGINAL name of all time!
"Sunflowers? That's what they're called?" Sonic gawked. "Well… I guess that's all we can say about them."
Luigi used his Super Jump to reach the platform ahead and stomp on the Sunflower a couple of times. It ended up dropping some kind of badge with a sun on it. Luigi picked it up and saw that it was called Sunny Day. Apparently, this prevents one from getting burnt, so he decided to take it.
"This is a weird badge… But I guess I won't get burnt with it on!" Luigi smiled as he jumped on the next platform that was right next to the hill. A Sun Koopa was walking around, but when he stomped on it, it retreated into its shell, thus allowing Luigi to kick it off the grassy platform.
"Huh… I never expected there to be Sun Koopas here…" Chopper trailed as he followed Luigi up to the top of the large hill. He happened to notice a loop down the hill and also a slope going up a hill to a door. "Ooh! Now I finally get to do some running at long last!"
Chopper charged up a Speed Dash, his feet turning into a figure-8 pattern. Luigi gaped and stepped away from Chopper while he was doing this. He didn't know what to say for a few seconds too.
"Whoa… What's with your feet?" Luigi asked.
"I'm about to run down that hill at full speed," he explained as he immediately took off, leaving dust behind and making Luigi cough. Sonic jumped over the green plumber and began to follow Chopper down the hill and through the loop. What everyone else did was that they jumped over the loop and managed to jump over to the large hill Chopper and Sonic made it to, since it wasn't really that high.
Mario: At least we managed to make it here!
"Yeah, that's a good thing," Chopper opened the door to the next area. They noticed that this part of the area was flat and rather comfortable. However, there were a lot of Brick Blocks and even some pipes around. What was worse was that some Sunoids were here and Sun Koopas were on the blocks. What was strange was that there was a ? Block right near them.
"I wonder what's in there," Luigi wondered as he punched the block with his fist. A Mega Star popped out and began to bounce on the ground. Luigi, thinking it was a star, grabbed it…but something began to happen to him.
"Poyo… (I think Luigi's transforming…)" Kirby trailed.
"No kidding…" Chopper nodded as Luigi transformed into an 8-bit version of himself. They all watched as Luigi trampled through everything in their sights. It sure was something that was interesting, since Luigi is considered to be more of a coward (from what Mario sees mostly).
"Whoa! I can't believe I'm going through all of this!" Luigi gaped as he trampled through all of the Sunoids, Sun Koopas and even some Sunflowers until he was turned back to normal.
"Awwww… Well, that stinks." Sonic commented as he got to the door Luigi was over by. Everyone simply shrugged and entered the next area, which had a lot of pipes. Some of them were even too high to jump over.
"Wow, I don't know why, but there are a lot of things in this world that requires my jumping!" Luigi smiled. He walked over to the tall pipe and saw an orange Piranha Plant pop out. It seemed to spit flames from its mouth, to their surprise. But, Luigi was able to defeat it with a Super Jump.
"It's pretty cool that you can get under your foes and hit them with a Super Jump," Blade commented as he walked over to the tall pipe, while Luigi landed on the other side. "It makes fighting a lot easier."
"Now we just need to get through these pipes," Chopper pondered. "And I think I know what we need to do!"
He threw his arms up near everyone and flipped into 3-D. They were able to go around the pipes with no problem and jump over bottomless pits, but when they got to the door, they saw a sign and a lock on the door. Kirby decided to read what the sign had to say first.
To Sun Town
"Poyo, (The problem is, though, that the door's locked,)" Kirby said as he poked the lock on the door. "Poyo? (How are we supposed to get in?)"
Mario: Maybe one of the pipes can let us through?
"Well there's no chance of us getting up there," Blade groaned. "Only Luigi's Super Jump is able to reach such heights. …Unless HE can check one of the pipes and find a Door Key! That might work!"
When Luigi landed right next to the door, everyone walked over to him. "Whoa! What's going on here? Why are you all coming to me?"
"We need you to check one of the pipes," Chopper explained. "We're pretty sure that one of them leads into an underground room."
"Well… Er… I guess I have no other choice." Luigi sweat dropped as he Super Jumped to the closest pipe. He was able to find something down there, so he allowed himself to transport into an underground room.
Underground-
Luigi landed on the blue brick ground and noticed that there were two Sunflowers in the room. They both happened to be hanging from the ceiling, to his surprise. He simply used his Super Jump to punch both Sunflowers to stun them for a couple of seconds. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to defeat them.
"What? That's not enough?" Luigi groaned as both Sunflowers shot a pebble that created a small wave of fire. He got hit by it, but due to the badge he had on him, he was immune to being burned.
"Heh heh heh! Well now! You can't burn me!" the green plumber smirked as he used his Super Jump to strike both Sunflowers to destroy them. Unfortunately, it wasn't over yet. A Sunoid and a Sun Koopa appeared via teleportation and charged at him. Luigi stomped on the Sun Koopa and kicked it straight at the Sunoid.
"Well, this might take a while to defeat…"
It didn't take TOO long, but he managed to defeat them both and make a chest appear in front of him. When he opened it, he found a Door Key, which is what he needs to unlock that door. So, with that, he headed out of the underground room.
Outside-
Luigi jumped out of the pipe and landed back on the grassy ground with the key in his hands. Everyone else walked over to the green plumber to see if he DID have the key with him.
"Don't worry, guys! I've got the key here!" Luigi held the Door Key up, making everyone gaze at it.
"…Wait, why are we gazing at a key?" Chopper questioned after blinking. "Errr… I guess now's the time for us to get going, wouldn't you all agree?"
"Yes, that's not a bad idea," Timpani agreed. Luigi unlocked the door and everyone made their way through the door and to the town.
Sun Town-
"Man… I can't believe we haven't seen a town in a LONG time through these worlds!" Blade commented as they all gawked at the beautiful town. "The last time we've ever been in a town was that Christmas Village! It really does feel nice being in a place with good people."
"Yeah, I can agree," Chopper nodded as he noticed the light orange buildings, the sun statue in the center of town and even a bunch of sun-like people. Half of their face was yellow, while the other half was orange. Their limbs were simply stick-like, kind of like Mimi's limbs, which, while it wasn't nice to see, wasn't really bad.
"Wow… So there are more strange-looking people here." Luigi commented.
"Finally! Someone agrees that these people in these worlds are weirdos!" Blade smiled while fist pumping.
"Since when did you say that the people here were weirdos?" Blumiere asked. "I don't recall you calling people in many worlds weirdos…"
"Well, he's been calling people weirdos before this," Timpani explained. "Honestly, hearing that kind of stuff is always great. However, I think he hasn't said it in QUITE a while. This is the first I've heard him in…a couple of chapters."
"Well, I have the right to call them weirdos if I want to," Blade retorted as he took a couple of steps. "Now then… How about we ask some of these people about the Pure Heart? Or at least the castle?"
"Hold on, I'm going to contact Flyer real quick," Chopper said as he pulled his pale green communicator out and tried to get in contact with Flyer. "This is Chopper, calling from Sun Town! I'm already there!"
"Well duh! You just said that you're there…" Flyer responded as his face appeared on the screen. "What I'd suggest you do is find the mayor. Surely he'll be able to help you gather information."
"Got it! Thanks!" Chopper closed his communicator and put it away.
"Who was that?" Sonic asked.
"That was Flyer," Chopper answered, walking into town. "He says we should go find the mayor of this town."
"Yeah, I can agree with that," Luigi nodded. "We DO want that…well, Pure Heart, don't we?"
"Poyo, (I just hope it's an easy one to get, although it would be a shame if going through this world was too short,)" Kirby stated as they all walked past the sun fountain. They decided to speak to a female Sunny first.
"You people must be new to this world," she said. "This is our lovely town, Sun Town. Did you know that this place is known for its beauty and some of the flowers around here? You should give a flower to someone you like if you find one!"
"Errrr… Sure. We'll keep that in mind." Chopper sweat dropped as he walked past the female Sunny. Everyone else followed him over to a small Sunny child to see what he had to say.
"Hey, if you're looking for the Mayor, his house is the yellow one," he informed. "My grandpa can probably answer your questions. He knows a lot about this world!"
"Well that's very helpful of you!" Luigi smiled. "Thanks for the information!"
"Poyo, (Now we just need to go over to the Mayor's house and ask him about that Pure Heart and whatnot,)" Kirby said.
"One thing for sure is that the Pure Heart's not around here…" Timpani informed. "I don't feel its presence here."
"Well then let's check that house over there," Sonic suggested as he ran over to the yellow house. He hit the Save Block first before going in, since that's something they probably will NEED to do. But, they decided not to let that bother them and headed into the house.
Mayor's house-
"Wow, what a nice-looking house here!" Blade commented as they stepped on the orange rug. The walls were a bright yellow color and there was even a desk right by the corner. An old Sunny with a mustache and a monocle, a top hat and a walking stick was standing in the room.
"Who're you, shonny?" Yeah, they all knew that this old man was one of those old men who would always go "sh" when saying something with an "S" in it. "Are you people…robbersh?"
"No, we're not robbers," Luigi replied with a shake of his head. "We just wanna help you, that's all!"
"Well, what you can do to help me ish get out of my housh and get off of my lawn!" he barked in a grumpy manner. "You have ten shecondsh to get out of here before I call the copsh!"
"…You know, I find something interesting," Chopper realized as he looked at the mayor. "Almost every single mayor I've ran into throughout the years have had monocles and mustaches… Isn't that weird?"
"Chopper! Ask him about the Pure Heart!" Timpani shouted, trying to get him back to he main topic.
"Sorry!" he walked up to the mayor. "Listen, Mr. Mayor… We're not here to hurt you. We're just here to ask you a little something… We were wondering if there's anything shaped like a heart around here. It's supposed to be some kind of powerful object that's used to save the universe and whatnot."
"Whuh? The king of thish land wash shaying shome shtuff about shome kind of heart thing that shome heroes need to go to… I would shuggest you try to go to the cashtle to shpeak to King Shunday. He'sh the king of thish land. However, I wouldn't shuggest going over to Night Land. They're not our kind of people!"
"I think he means King Sunday…" Sonic whispered.
"Night Land? But why do you two sides hate each other?" Luigi asked.
"Well, it'sh a long and awful shtory," the mayor turned away from the heroes and walked over to a picture on the wall. "Back in the day when my voice wash incredible aweshome and shexy, King Shunday and King Moonnight ushed to be good friendsh. However, when they claimed land here, they argued on who got what and it shtarted to break into a shlap fight."
"So they used to be friends but have no become sworn enemies?" Timpani gasped. "That's shocking…"
"Yesh, it is indeed shocking… Both kingsh brought their own kind and divided a line to sheparate them. Ever shince then, they've never shpoken to each other again… And it ish indeed a shame."
"Well, is there any chance we can speak to King Sunday?" Chopper asked.
"Hmmmmmmm… Well, I shuppose there ish a chance that I could get you guysh to go shee him… However, only a shun person can go with you to shee him. But, if you plan on going to Night Land, then you should bring Arcaine to the cashtle. He'sh a combination of a Shunny and a Mooner, sho no one sheems to mind. Although, hish beliefsh have been getting ridiculoush by every minute."
"Beliefs? Do you have something against him?" Luigi asked.
"No, we jusht don't care! He doeshn't sheem to care that he'sh ignored becaush he'sh ALWAYSH trying to shove his 'creature' down our throatsh. Sho, I think it would be wishe to take him with you to the cashtle. Thish is also recommended to help as well."
The mayor took out a Sun Stone and gave it to the heroes. "With thish, you will be able to reach the cashtle. Now, out with you! I want to get back to shome rest!"
Outside-
"Well, that guy sure was weird…" Chopper trailed as they walked on the grass. "Why did he speak like 'Oh, I'm jusht shome mayor here that'sh sho aweshome and shtuff'? That's…kind of weird."
Mario: We can't do much about it.
"Yeah, we should just get going," Luigi walked over to the red door ahead and opened it. They all walked into the door into an area with a field of many flowers. For some reason, Chopper felt something strike him for a minute.
"F-Flowers…"
"Are you OK, Chopper?" Timpani asked as he walked into the field of flowers and picked up one of them. "I suppose he wants to pick some up for one of the girls…"
"What? No way! I just remember seeing a field of flowers before… Like in the Illusion Forest. I remember…seeing some kind of vision." Chopper recalled, looking over by the hill ahead. He thought he almost saw something familiar.
"Poyo? (Are you seeing things again?)" Kirby asked.
"Maybe… But I'm going to check." Chopper ran up the hill, eager to see if it was his parents. When he reached the top, he saw that it was nothing but a wheel. "Aw, come on! Why do I always get tricked like this?!"
"What? There's just a wheel up there?" Luigi gawked as he reached the top of the hill. "You think that you'll get something from that wheel?"
"Well, I'll try," he picked up the wheel and swallowed it whole. He ended up getting a red baseball cap on his head that was backwards. When he moved on ahead, he turned into a wheel and went down the hill.
"WHOA! I've got the Wheel ability!"
"Well, we're following!" Sonic announced as he ran down the hill. Chopper smashed through a couple of Wheel Blocks that could only be destroyed with the Wheel ability. He ended up turning back to normal when he saw a house that had one half of it being orange and the other side dark blue.
"Poyo? (So this is the place, I presume?)" Kirby asked as he looked up at the house.
"Guess so. How about we head on in?" Chopper suggested as he walked up to the door and opened it. "C'mon! This Arcaine person should be able to help us get into the castle!"
Arcaine's house-
"Uhhhh… Hello? Mr. Arcaine person?" Luigi called out as they stepped foot in the house. They could see the walls were blue and the carpet was an orange color. "Well this doesn't seem like it matches…"
"Well, it really doesn't," Chopper agreed.
"Who's there?!" a man with one side of his face being orange and the other side silver busted through one of the doors with a little stick. He was wearing normal clothing, like a T-shirt and some shorts. "Are you people robbers?!"
"We're not robbers. That mayor guy told us to go see you in order to get to King Sunday's Castle." Blade explained.
"Really?" Arcaine lowered the stick. "Then… You must be here to help me find the ferocious SunMoonFlower!"
"SunMoonWhat?" Chopper gawked.
"The SunMoonFlower! It's half sun, half moon and half flower! It's said that this dangerous beast lurks around Day and Night Land! I'm super sunious!"
"Sunious? Now where did that come from?" Sonic asked, cocking his head. "Do you mean 'serious'?"
Mario: This guy's strange…
"I hear you, Bro!" Luigi agreed.
"OK… The weirdness level here has gotten a bit…up." Chopper declared.
"And what about your humiliation level?" Blade asked.
"Hey! Quit it already, Blade! It stopped being funny!"
"I don't believe it! So you people DO believe me! Hang on for a moment as I get myself ready! I can hopefully get King Sunday's help on catching the SunMoonFlower! This is such a wonderful day!" Arcaine left the room and was back in a jiffy wearing traveler's clothes. He also had a big stick in his hands. "I'm carrying this stick just in case SunMoonFlower attacks."
"Poyo? (Wouldn't something that doesn't require you to be short-ranged work better?)" Kirby asked.
"No time for questions, people! We must head off to the castle and ask for King Sunday's assistance!" Arcaine headed out of the house and cocked his shotgun. "We're going huntin' tonight!"
"…And that's one of the reasons why I choose not to carry a gun," Sonic declared as the door shut behind them.
Beginning of the first area-
"Can you believe that we had to go ALL the way back here just to place the Sun Stone?" Chopper questioned as they finally made their way back to the beginning. "We haven't really done any backtracking, but this is just plain RIDICULOUS!"
"Well, at least we made it. Now, how's about you get that Sun Stone into the pedestal or something?" Blade suggested.
"Good idea," Chopper pulled the Sun Stone out and placed it in the pedestal. They could see that the pedestal spun around and move to the right to reveal and orange pipe. The glare from the sun came down on the pipe to show that this is the pipe that leads to the castle.
"I guess we should head on in!" Luigi suggested.
"Yes," Arcaine pulled his stick out. "We can't let this world fall in danger to the SunMoonFlower! I'm super DUPER sunious! Come on, my fellow partners! Let us go!"
Arcaine jumped into the pipe and headed straight to the castle in the background. Everyone else shrugged and followed him in the background until they reached the front entrance, which looked a lot bigger when they reached the castle.
"Whoa… Now that's a castle." Blade commented.
"And there's a Star Block up ahead!" Chopper got into a wheel and raced over to the Star Block by the entrance. When he turned back into himself, he punched the block and ended the chapter.
"I feel that this rivalry might be a bit sunious…D'OH! I accidentally said 'sunious'! Son of a pizza…"
END OF CHAPTER
"This way, partners! The guards will know that with me by your side, they will let us through! Once I alert them about SunMoonFlower, everything should be all right!" Everyone groaned as they listened to Arcaine boast about the supposedly dangerous monster known as SunMoonFlower. They were also weirded out from hearing him say stuff such as "sunious". They tried their best to ignore this fellow as they followed him inside of the castle. One thing for sure is that King Sunday knew how to decorate.
Oh, man... Writing the mayor's speech was kind of annoying, but not as annoying as those Swamints from Chapter 5. XP
So, yeah, there's Chapter 13's background in a nutshell (I guess). Two kings couldn't get along and couldn't share land and ended up splitting it. And they still don't get along. Plus, we have the weird Arcaine person who believes in something called the SunMoonFlower (I'm PRETTY sure you'd get the reference, unless you didn't, which wouldn't bother me that much). And King Sunday's name... I didn't intend to make it sound like the first day of the week. :P
Anyway, there's not much else that needs to be said about this. Be ready for Chapter 13-2 that'll be coming up next!
