J & N Superstar Saga Chapter 5
To Dreamland Castle
J and N made it back to the area with the rock Cyn blasted down to block them down.
"Time to test these out" N said smiling.
"Indeed." J said smiling and changes her hand into a sword and slashes at the rock and it shatters completely. "Works well, give it to the Huldra Brothers, they know their weapons.
"Agreed, can't wait to see them in battle" V said smiling.
"I bet my chainsaw hands are just as effective." N said smiling.
They move to head down the mountain gathering items, they found a fountain that was inactive and a burning rock, they locate a peg in the ground the slam down that turns on the fountain and use the water from that to put out the fire on the rock so they could destroy it.
They continue and find themselves before a minecart cave and walk in to find two mine carts and in a rocking chair a Cappy dressed like a prospector with a sleeping dog next to him.
"Um…hi" J said as the two apporch.
"Whoa there pards!" The Propector Cappy said seeing the two. "It's been a Fodder's age since we had any strangers in these parts!"
"That long, wow." N said thinking.
"Now listen, drones: if you want to ride them rusty old carts, I won't go a-stoppin' you." The Prospector Cappy said "But I'd advise watching out fer trouble. Yep. No one knows where them rails lead…Still, I'll tell you something: you might just be able to find jewels by jumping a bit in there. And while you're hopping for loot, watch out! If you spot danger, just shine your light at it!" He then thinks and said "…Oh, mercy! There I go again! I'm always boring folks to tears with stuff like this…"
"It's alright, thank you for the info." J said to him.
"Yeah, we will be care riding down the mine carts and keep an eye out for jewels." N said with a nod.
They both gets into a mine cart each and they go down the tracks. J had a torch and her side was lit so she uses it to shine N's side of the route so he can see where he was going and the two gather jewels till they make it to the end.
As they reach the end and get out they are surprised to see the same Prospector Cappy and his dog on this side of the route.
"Um….hi" J said as she and N approach him
"Eh?! Hrm?!" The Prospector Cappy lets out "Why, howdy! …Again. Well, drones, this spot marks the last stop on the long, strange railroad ride of my life…But I reckon your adventure has just begun. Get to it, drones!"
"Thanks, we will" N said nodding.
The two leave the cave outside and breaking some rocks they continue.
"Hold up you two!" A familiar voice said and the two look to see Brok and Sindri have appeared
"Woah…how'd you get here so fast?" N asked surprised.
"Dwarf secret but our ability to move between realms seems to be working again" Sindri said "I guess the stress of not being able to make weapons was the root cause."
"Regardless, that ain't important" Brok states "We forgot to mention one thing!"
"Yeah, we didn't teach you how to use your weapons in battle." Sindri said nodding. "So we will explain it…in battle…just don't be too rough."
"Alright then." J said with a nod.
The two fought the dwarfs training in use of the weapons which can be used as attack and away to block damage it was a quick lesson.
"Did you get all that? You better have." Sindri said nodding as he wipped his armour.
"You better look alive with those things. There are a lot of monsters that your jump and slash attacks won't do squat on!" Brok told them. "That's the reason we left spaces for skill chips to be added to give you some new tricks if you want to get by them!"
"I'm positive you two'll be able to take care of business!" Sindri said smiling "if you can't we're going to need those weapon hand changers back."
"We're going to go and hide them mine carts!" Brok said
"Yeah, I just up they're up to code and clean" Sindri said with a nod.
"You nitwit, them being unsafe is part of the fun!" Brok said to him.
"Of course that is fun for you!" Sindri yells out as the two brothers leave.
"Still in interesting pair" J said to N.
"Agreed, but now we know how to fight with them." N said an looks "and it seems we made it to Dreamland Valley"
"Correct now we just have to follow the path to Dreamland Castle and we can meet with the King." J said
The two drones nod and head into the Valley.
As they enter the Dreamland outskirts they encounter different enemies, one that required them to use there weapon hands to beat, a small black creature with a spiky helmet known as a Togezo who attack by mostly charging into them.
"Well, these things are adorable…despite being dangerous." N said to J.
"Maybe so, but we have to beat them if they try to attack us." J told him.
Another enemy was a small brown mole like creature with a red nose known as a Digglet that attack by burrowing to either J or N and head butting them.
Soon they reach roads that seem man-made then natural and follow the path to a bridge to a town with a castle.
"There it is, the entrance to Dreamland Castle Town." J said smiling checking the map.
"Let's hurry and warn them about Salem's possible attack." N said and they ran across but a shocking site befell them "Or….maybe not tell something they already knew…"
The shocking site was the fact they entire town was devastated, buildings were heavily damaged and the Waddle Dee citizens were all in a sad daze. The drones see a Waddle Dee limp over before collapsing.
"Hey, you okay? What happened here?" J asked concerned as she and N checked on them.
"Th-The town was attacked….The horror…" The Waddle Dee said
"This is bad" N said.
"Where are the attackers now?" J asked
Another Waddle Dee arrived and said "Salem went toward the castle after attacking the town…King Dedede may be in danger!"
"Then that is where we should go, we may not get another chance to end this sooner." J said to N.
"I agree, let's go J" N said nodding.
The two drones hurry to the castle.
"Good luck guys" Uzi said on the phone
When they arrive they found the castle was pretty much in tact and oddly enough calm. As they approach the entrance two guard Waddle Dees block their access.
"Halt! You there! Halt!" The one on the left said to them. "You can't just waltz on in here! The town has just been attacked! Which means the castle could be attacked at any moment!"
"I see, makes sense" N said nodding.
"Escargoon has instructed us not to allow anyone to enter the castle! Anyone whatsoever!" The Waddle Dee Guard said. "Having said that, if you still wist to enter, you must explain your names and motives!"
"Alright well my name is J" J said to them.
"WHAT? YOU are the world famous Serial Designation J?!" The Waddle Dee guard on the right said surprised.
"Yep and I'm Serial Designation N" N said saluting
"WHAT? And you're the legendary N?!" The Waddle Dee guard on the left said also surprised.
"Uh, N who?!" The Waddle Dee guard on the right asked the other.
"Shhh! I have no idea…" The left guard said and N collapses onto the ground in a face plant but he gets back up.
The guards turn back to face them and the one of the right said "Alright, if you really are the superstar J from the Sol Kingdom, then prove it!"
"Alright then." J said nodding and jumps into the air.
The guard steps back surprised and said "Th-that jump…No mistaking it!" He gets excited.
"Th-this drone is really J?" The other one asked
"Shh!...I can't be certain." The guard said and J this time face plants onto the ground but gets up.
The two guards look at the two and the one on the left says "Anyway…what business would the famous J and…uh…other drone have in this castle?"
J and N begin to tell the story talking over each other as they explain it in their own ways, the guard on the left was struggling to follow but the one on the right said "Hmm! Ah! Ho ho! Huhhh? Ohhhh! I see! Gotcha!"
"What do they want?" The left guard asked
"No clue…" The right guard admits and both J and N faceplant the ground at that before getting up.
"…Enough!" The left guard said to the drones "Regardless of all that nonsense, you may not enter! Now begone!"
"Great, how are we going to convince them." J said sighing.
"Oh, I know!" N said and reaches into his coat and pulls out the mask Metaknight gave them and shows the Waddle Dee guards.
"One of Metaknight's spare masks!" The left guard said surprised "Are you friends with him?"
"That's right, we even helped him out earlier." J said nodding as N puts the mask away.
"Umm, listen, I think maybe we ought to let these drones inside!" The left guard said to his partner.
"Umm…okay. Taking into account that mask and your wacky strory, we can allow you to enter!" The right guard said nodding.
"That was one wacky story! Woo!" The left guard admits and both step aside.
"Finally progress" J said.
"Let's hurry J" N said with a nod.
The two hurry in and begin exploring the areas they are allowed looking for a sign of the king or his right hand. They then come across a Waddle Dee lying unconscious on the floor and check on him
"Well! Miss J! Mr. N!" A voice said and the two look to see Escargoon approaching them smiling "I am Escargoon, the right hand advisor to his majesty King Dedede…The gatekeepers told me of you. Are you indeed the J and N of fame? The superstars?"
"Oh, I not sure I'd go that far." N said rubbing his head.
"But we are indeed them." J said nodding as she and N perform the jumping to prove it.
Escargoon examines them from all angles and nods saying "…Yes. I can't deny that such jumping is the hallmark of the J and N of legend…" J and N again talk over each other "Oh, parden me? What are you trying to tell me? Do speak up!" J and N begin to shot and he covers his ears "Oh such noise! Speak in softer voices!"
J and N quiet down and Escargoon sighs and said "Now, hear me! As you saw the town is in ruins…and the castle is under strict guard! At a time like this I can't allow a suspicious pair such as you to meet the king!" He turns his back to them smirking "As the king's longest-serving servant, I must act in the interest of his royal safety!"
He pulls out a remote and hits a button and a trapdoor opens underneath J and N. "What the?!" J said shock.
"Hey wait stop!" N called out as they both fall and crash into the underground parts of the castle
"Hear my words!" Escargoon said lowering himself down on some rope "If you two are indeed the Drone helpers…you must prove it by repairing the castles plumbing! If you are able to completely fix it, then you may meet King Dedede! Now show me the work ethic of the superstar Drone Heroes!" He then pulled up.
"Well, this sucks" J said sitting up rubbing her head.
"Maybe but we have no choice." N said sighing.
"True, lets just get this done with" J said nodding "Let's hope we haven't gotten rusty doing our former day job"
The two set out to get to work.
Well sees like to see the King, J and N will have to do some plumbing work, let's hope they can get it done quickly.
