Discalimer: I own nothing in this
J and N Superstar Saga Chapter 9
Journey through the Woods
J and N have made it to Kooladria Woods, they learned that the Kool-Aid Reserve they need to save King Dedede was in the sanctuary beyond these woods. But they had to hurry as Phil and his Rookie aka Vrak with amnesia were also in pursuit of the legendary soda.
As they walked J also revealed she earned a new Duo Attack from learning her Dunk skill from Pon and Con, known as Chopper Duos and told N about it who was eager to try it out when they can, he also revealed he two had a new Duo attack Knockback Duo when he learned the Mini skill both will try it out when they can.
As they explored the woods they encounter new enemies to fight, one was a creature in green and brown leaves with spikes known as a Camoleaf but a few hits with a weapon hand revealed to be a Mettaur in disguise some could even be Golden Mettaurs which were a bit stronger than the normal Mettaurs.
"Definitely stronger but still no match for us" N said smiling.
"That is a given" J said with a nod.
They soon come to a cate, J dunks N underground so he slips under the gate to the other side and he hits the switch to open it as they enter the main forest. They then come to another gate where N had to make J small to slip though a hedge to hit a switch to open it.
"Phew…good thing Pon and Con taught us these skills, not sure we would have made it without them" N said.
"If we had some Mini-Capsules might have been able to but those would be limited usage." J said nodding as they enter the forest.
When they do they find a floor switch which when stepped on causes a face on the wall to open and fire a single fireball, next to it was a barrel and J got an idea.
"N, see if you can get into that Barrel after I dunk you." J said smiling.
"Got it J!" N said smiling and is dunked into the ground, he moves under the barrel and finds he can and jumps up into the barrel "Okay, what now?"
"See what happens when you step on the switch with that on." J suggests.
N moves onto the switch, the face fires the fire ball, it hits the barrel and knocked back into the face making it catch fire and is destroyed, then a platform raises up allowing them to continue on but they notice a sign on the wall next to it.
"Hey what's that sign on the wall?" N asked braking out of the wall.
J goes over and reads it "It says Poems of Love, Vol. 1 by Tingle, Original Owner of Chateau de Kooladraia 'An empty barrel, So like the heart of a man. Tunnel from below.'"
"Sounds like a hint to how you already solved the puzzle" V said on the phone.
"Agreed" J and N said nodding and continue on.
As they moved through the forest, they encountered some new enemies, the first were brown skinned men with tribal attire wielding spears known as Tribesmen, the other was a tree stump like Digimon known as Woodmon.
They were indeed stronger than foes they fought before, the Woodmon even fired Bucculus' at the two that inflected them with poison status but still able to beat them.
"Oh…that was tough." J said taking some nanties as she was low on health.
"Yeah, you were right about them being tougher" N said nodding as they come to an area with a barrel on a pillar and they see a switch they couldn't reach. "Hmmm, I know I get in the barrel and position myself near the switch and you can get on and hit it."
"Worth a shot." J said nodding.
They do that while avoiding the enemies and hit the switch and it lifts another platform. They head deeper into the woods.
Once there they see they are in a central area of the woods with two locked gate to the left and right and a grove in the middle. They go to the middle and find a large Digimon styled as a tree holding a wood cane.
The Tree Digimon approaches the two and said "I am Cherrimon, protector of woods. Ahead behind me is the great tree: Mother Kooladria. Only some may pass. Some who find all three kinds of Kool-aid fruit."
"I see, what are they?" J asked getting ready to note it down.
Cherrimon lists them and then flashes the colors he mentions as he does "White Kool-aid fruit, Red Kool-aid fruit, Purple Kool-aid fruit. Find all three types of Kool-aid fruit here. Then I let you pass." He stomps down his cane on the ground and the gates open.
"So where should we go first J?" N asked her.
"Go to the right first and see what we can find their." J said nodding and the two head in that direction.
As they down this path they find two paths one going further forward and one going to the left. They went down the forward path as the left path had items for them to collect and come across a hedge area with a gate on the right and a hole on the left.
N makes J mini as she goes though the hole in the hedge and on the other side she sees another locked gate and a switch, she hits the switch the gate doesn't open but she hears a gate opening.
"N?! Anything happen on your end?" J called out.
N checks and sees the closed gate on the right open "Yeah, gates open!"
"I'll stay here as there is another locked gate, you check it out." J said
N does so and finds another locked gate and switch and hits the switch opening up the gate on J's side. "Hit a switch!" He called out.
"Right the gate opened on myside, I think we have to keep going with this till we reach the end." J said "So I will go hit the switch for your side."
J and N proceed to help each other move though their respective paths till N comes to a gate but no switch. "J I can't progress further and there is no switch, but the gound here isn't a metal plate." N said.
"Hang on I'm coming back" J said as she two had a locked gate.
J hurries back to the hole she came in and then goes round to N's side to rejoin him. N un-mini's her and she dunks him into the ground. N goes to the other side and finds a spring and a switch, he hits the switch and they hear a gate to the left of them open, they also hear a ticking clock.
"N hurry!" J called out.
N nods and uses the spring to jump over the hedge as the drones hurry to the hole. J is then mini'd again and hurries through the hole and though the gates till she reaches the end in time and finds the White Kool-Aid fruit she first hit the switch to stop the timer and collects the white fruit and brings it back to N who un mini's her.
"One down two the go you two" V said on the phone.
"So all we need is Red and Purple, right?" N asked.
"Yes, and I doubt they will be easy to get as this was." J said "Let's get back to the central area and head down the left gate path."
N nods and follows J's lead.
As they head down it they came across two paths a right path and left path from their POV, they go down the left path and see a hedged off area with what looks to be a Pokémon in the hole.
"Huh? What's this?" J said "It looks familiar."
"We have to get it to move." N said.
The two dones nod and proceed to hit the creature as it moves though the hole, J is then mini'd and goes in
"Nope! Nope!" J cried out running out.
N is confused but jumps as he sees the reason, the creature was a familiar enemy type the drones face, Scolipede. "They have these here too?!" N said surprised as un mini's J.
"Yeah and looks like we angered it, we have to beat it to get it from block the way." J said sighing "Here we go."
"Alight." N said nodding.
J begins to fight and attacks Scolipede's head but while the jump and slash connected looks like they didn't do any damage while Scolipede was red in anger who then sends a Stomping Tantrum shockwave at the two who dodge it.
N then attacks one of it's body sections turning it back to it's normal color. It then does a rollout at N who dodges it, the two drones then work on turning the body back to normal colour while dodgeing the roll out and soon it was calm.
"Right now onto the attack!" N said as they perform Super Bounce Duos and does some damage but re-angers Scolipede who does both Stomping Tantrum and Rollout on them, hitting N for some damage with the latter.
J and N continue to attack it's body to calm it down and it was once again but still Rollout on J doing some damage.
"Okay, let's try mine." J said performing Super Splash Bros which was successful and did some damage and re-angered the Scolipede.
They repeat their strategy for a third time while trying to avoid it's attacks, N getting hit by another roll out and while it took a bit longer it was in it's vulnerable state again.
"Alright, time to do this" N said deciding on the standard Bounce Duo's this time and they perform it and it was enough to finish it.
The Scolipede cries out as it explodes and collapses onto the ground dropping a Flower Coat that was N's size. The Scolepede cries and runs off.
"Awww, I feel sorry for it." N said as they recover.
"Same but now we can check what it was guarding." J said and it made Mini and she goes it and finds a plant holding the Red Kool-Aid fruit, she takes it and brings it out.
"Nice, now we have one more to get" N said smiling.
"Let's hurry and find it then" J said nodding.
J and N continue their search.
Two Kool-Aid fruit down, one to go can they find it in time, stay tuned to find out
