CHAPTER 2:

Rumble of the rainbow ruins

The theme here is rogueport sewers (second version) from the thousand year door remake

On the mysterious ruins (world: unknown)…

On the mysterious ruins… two worlds collide: brawl stars and puyo puyo… the two groups who dare the ruins… met each other…

Leon's the first to ask for names… (he tries to keep a cool demeanor)
leon: so… who are you guys?
amitie: well… name's amitie, a future entertainer witch, she's raffina, a martial master… and quite harsh
raffina: HEY!
amitie: anyways, that's arle, a fearless, brave… and somewhat stubborn mage. (arle was annoyed), next up is ringo, she's a genius… but lacks a sense of disbelief, then we move to sig… don't let appearances fool you, he's a kind soul… he just… doens't express emotions the usual way.
sig: hello.
amitie: lastly, there are the two sisters: draco and lidelle centauros, they are part dragon… draco's a fierce fighter… while lidelle's more shy and a master of wind… they can sense emotions… an ability they recently developed.
draco: nice to know new faces… never seen you on primp town…
lidelle: name's lidelle… glad to met you all.
arle: new guys on the block? This is sure to be an adventure.
ringo: now… let me ask… who are you?
leon: well… i'm leon, a master of stealth.
jessie: name's jessie, genius tinkerer…
nita: i'm nita, an animal enthusiast, and he's bruce, my beary friend.
bea: glad to met you all… name's bea, i'm more keen and amazed by flora…
bibi: bibi, i'm more of fighting than talking… but nice to meet you… never seen you around starr park.
amitie: strange… from were we entered… we where in primp town…
ringo: and you say you're from starr park?... seems like a nice place.
bibi: outside of the daily brawls… yes it is… now what are you doing here?
arle: we wanted to explore these ruins… and we got lost.
nita: huh, same as us… we don't even know the road back…
they hear the sound of Stone colliding… the doors are locked.
sig: that can't be good.
leon panics: WE'RE TRAPPED!
however… a door in front of them open…
the door seemed ancient, made with marble and steel, a mysterious rune was carved up front… depicting a star… one marked with a single eye… a blood red eye…
bea: that's… creepy…
bibi: and yet, it's our only way out… come on… unless you're scared.
bea: NO I'M NOT!
lidelle: it… should… be wiser to stay together…
raffina: that's a good point, we would not investigate faster… but better be safe tan sorry… I'M IN CHARGE.
arle chimes in: NO, I AM!.
leon shouts: not today…
and jessie was already at the door…
everyone: WAIT!
they head deep into a hallway…
amitie stares at the wallpaints, depicting armed men clashing with one another, some clad in red armor, another in blue, clashing blades, spears and rifles (an image that scared her)… atop a hill, she could see a warrior in red, meanwhile on a camp on the other end of the mural… raffina could see a samurai, clad in blue, with three tres as the emblem of his armor, leading the army towards the warrior of red…
on the other side, leon and jessie were admiring another mural… depicting a mysterious creature, a mixture of cat and rabbit, with a blue shirt, hat and pants, wielding an oversized ring… comanding great storms and tornadoes… facing a phantom-like foe, with a mask resembling a tragedy, and a veil with the appearance of the cosmos… he gave the vives of an otherworldly enemy…
bea: wow… these murals are quite cool…
bibi: they're ancient, but i've never seen these guys in the history books…
nita: bruce… what have you found? (she sees bruce pointing at a rune)… huh… wonder why it's so special
nita presses on a rune resembling a moon… a crescent moon… the rune went inwards into the wall… iluminating a panel on a wall… with a similar sigil as the door of old…
amitie: wait… are the sigils switches to actívate the door?
ringo: seems like it… and by the looks of the other rune… the one left to the cycloptic star… opposite to the crescent melody sheet… a spear… a three bladed one… with six coins…
arle: I admit… for ancient ruins… they seem massively advanced… anyways, have you seen a three-pointed spear amitie?
amitie: no such luck… sorry… wait… didn't the warrior in red depict him with a spear.
raffina checks the mural: IT DOES… (she presses it…)
and the rune of the spear with the six coins lights up… unlocking the mysterious door… which emanates a purple mist…
leon is a spooked a Little: GAAH… JESSIE CATCH ME!
jessie barely holds leon: what were you saying about keeping cool…
before long however, the door flashes bright… transforming the room into a bridge… one you'd see in the frontiers between jugpot and breezegale at phantomile…
jessie and leon were the first to wake up… only to see their friends trapped in some sort of crystal…
jessie: GUYS, ARE YOU OK?
before they could get an answer… the mysterious illusion created by the gate… an illusion bearing the shape and memory of baladium, appears…
leon: ARE YOU THE ONE TRAPPING OUR FRIENDS? If so…
leon and jessie: PREPARE TO BEG FOR ANIMAL CONTROL, PEST.
here plays baladium's drive (klonoa: door to phantomile)

The bridge began to swing, the supports keeping it stable banished… before long, roundy creatures (moo ilusions) appeared, these were winged…
jessie: ok, we gotta sabe our friends… got a plan?
leon: no… wait… wasn't he depicted in the mural?
jessie ponders… until remembering him alongside the mysterious robed man… and saw the jewels on his body (resembling a combination of manta ray and mosquito) shone brightly… as spiked balls appeared on the mural.
jessie: yeah… and the way he was depicted… the crystals empower him and allow him to attack…
leon: what if they were his weak point?
jessie: but how could we beat him? Our weapons won't reach him?...
on the crystal prison…
ringo: well… we're stuck until your friends can save us…
arle: oh… i wanted to fight that creature…
sig pondering: so… that creature is powered by it's crystals… but they said they can't reach him… even when the bridge swings closet o it… but those round creatures seem like projectiles…
bea: if that's the case… then that means…
draco: those flying orbs are the way to hurt him
amitie: GUYS!
leon and jessie: ehh?
amitie: THROW THOSE CUTE ROUND THINGS AT HIM, maybe they can IMPACT THE CRYSTALS.
as balladium's crystals shone yellow, summoning a scorpion-like creature to torment the bridge and it's current ocupants… leon and jessie smirked.
leon: thanks amitie.
amitie: thank sig and your friend bea…
bibi: hope you have a good throwing arm.
jessie: well… time to play ball.
balladium's green crystals summon missiles to bombard them, they head towards leon…
leon: let's see if you can see the unseen
turning invisible,the missiles missfire and end up blasting the canyon bellow… allowing jessie the chance to grab a moo…
jessie: gotcha… (now let's hope this Works)
the bridge returns to baladium…
jessie: eugh… HAA! (the moo impacts with the lower right crystals, turning them black… baladium schrieks in pain)
leon: well… time to turn the tides on this fight…
the blue crystals summon obelisks… which jessie uses to redirect her lightning fixer's electro bursts at the moo, allowing leon to grab them… he then uses the obelisks to wall jump (this would make mario proud… and klonoa a bit jealous) to take the moo onto baladium… throwing it.
thus,combined with jessie taking the left moo… allowed the duo a double strike, leaving baladium with only two crystals: red and yellow…
enraged and about to fall, baladium summons a zagard… and eye like creatures… acting as bombs…
leon: well… guess we left the worst for last… (the zagard rushes for jessie) NO YOU WON'T.
he tosses it of the bridge… only for a bomb to end up in front of jessie and leon…
it explodes, blasting the moo… and burning the two.
jessie: AHH… HOTHOTHOT… THIS AIN'T A FURNACE!
leon: YEOUCH… COOL IT DOWN, COOL IT DOWN!
the two are tired from running to douse the flames…
leon: can't say i'm not impressed… well… what do we do?
jessie thinks… before realizing something…
jessie: you take my fixer and blast those eyes… think you can make it invisible too?
leon smirks confidently: a Little risky… but i'm all for gambles…
leon places a lollypop toy into jessie's lightning fixer, hiding it from baladium's sight…
jessie went for another flying moo when the bridge swayed away from baladium… who summons the explosive eyes aiming to close the only weakpoint remaining and take the two kids down…
leon: not today… time to scrap some steel.
firing jessie's fixer, leon took down multiple eyes, be it the bouncing of the electro pulse… or the eyes being in it's path…
jessie: sorry for this… but time for the jewel's light to TURN OFF.
she throws the moo… hitting the last two crystals… defeating baladium, the dragonfly-cobra hybrid fell down from the skies… before exploding… filling the room with light…

here plays the hall of the thousand year door (sapphire or garnet star versions)

the group was reunited… the smoke cleared.
leon: we did it… WE DID IT, high five
everyone high fives… except nita and lidelle… who note the room has changed… revealing it to be a circle-shaped room, in the center, a fountain holding six podiums… alongside the fountain they found six pipes… bellow each pipe, a picture was shown, one had mushrooms and stars, showing a castle in red and white, the other had puyo blobs, pointing towards a school-like building, the third had the crystals and skull mark of starr park, the fourth had the same sigil as the painting of the cabbit with the ring, behind it, a town with windmills and dreams, the fifth had stars, hearts and a tomato with an M on it, behind it, a green plain leading to a castle with eye-shaped Windows… the last was the most mysterious, picturing a burning castle, cannons, swords… tainted in blood… and in front of all… a three-pointed spear, the same marked on the runes…
bibi: woah… just… what's this place…
suddenly, a spirit appeared…

¿?: i do know all about this hall… but of you… i know next to nothing… care to iluminate me on your existance?
bea: well… guys, should we trust it?
amitie: what's the worst that could happen… he seems friendly…
after telling the mysterious being their story…
he chuckled a bit.
¿?: i find it amusing you managed to surpass baladium… yet still engage in discussions to declare a leader.
raffina: it's serious you know… well… who are you?
tec-XX: sorry… forgot to tell you… but you can call me Tec-XX, the perfect computer... as for this realm… it seems to be mysterious… but luckily, i could decipher a hint of it's existance with the knowledges of the mushroom kingdom
amitie: neato… but would you be so kind to ilumínate us?
Tec-XX: gladly… this ruin, is but an extension of the ruins bellow rogueport… at the same time, these ruins were built by a mixture of the old town's residents… as well as enigmatic figures… known as the ancients, a race of powerful and wise sages from dream land.
ringo: dream land… THE SAME DREAM LAND SONIC TOLD US ABOUT, KIRBY'S HOME?!
everyone was shocked, the brawlers for the mentioning of kirby's name, the puyo crew from the fact that dream land had a part to play in their issue and dilemma…
tec: exactly, as i compute, you're in the hall of the cosmos, a hall built to facilitate dimensional travel… before the ancients were wiped by the shadow queen, an ancient evil sealed in this very ruins, bellow rogueport, but mario and his friends vanquished her… now, i was tasked by profesor frankly to explore these ruins, as for my shape…
the ghost fades… revealing a projector, with a red visor camera, wheels… and a battery.
this is but a recon drone i remotely pilot…
ringo: that's impressive
leon: quite cool…
jessie: can you tell me how to make one?
tec: later… for now, i can tell you how to return to your world… as you have seen, this fountain holds great power… one unknown… however, those pipes can warp you to your worlds… the ones themed around your locales, obviously… however, to unlock them, you must first have visited the realm, or meet someone who did… the other method, is to conquer an illusion of a powerful foe from said realm… as baladium showed, you have to defeat two, due to your worlds merging… so you are in your worlds… at the same time you're in rogueport… consider this place a void between worlds…
bea: this is quite the buzz to understand…
draco: you got me at Gateway between worlds and fight… you lost me at everything else…
bibi: well… if we have to beat another guardian… we're ready.
tec: your spirit is commended and appreciated… but i'm afraid the guardian you fought was for you, starr park's brawlers… which you masterfully took down.
jessie: aww thanks tec.
leon: but that means…
nita: the guardian remaining… is the one meant for amitie and her friends… right?
tec: afraid to agree…
amitie: That's not cool…
raffina: well… can't be done… bring him.
tec: i cannot… i'm a computer, not an ancient guardian, however, i've scanned the room… and found out a few things… the first, each world has a rune asigned to it, the mushroom kingdom has mushrooms, dream land has stars, starr park has a skull, it's stare means confidence and battle prepared… the world of klonoa, from which baladium belongs to, has a crescent moon, your world amitie has the puyo blobs… but a mysterious sixth world, has the three-pointed spear, and six coins… that's the world your opponent, the guardian you seek is found, and the gate with the spear sigil shall be where he can be fought…
amitie: thanks tec… well… ehem… seems like we'll have to fight… whatever lies beyond that gate, we'll tackle it together… right guys?
ringo: of course, can't leave a friend behind.
lidelle: i will fight for my friends…
maguro: it looks like a fun second course.
sig: sure
arle: count us in…
nita: good luck…
bea: i hope for your triumph…
bibi: show that guardian who's boss…
amitie: thanks… friends.
the puyo crew open the gate with the spear sigil… unbeknownst to them, this guardian would be the greatest challenge fought…

in starr park's plaza…
danger! From bowser's inside story goes here

Shelly: THIS IS BAD!
shelly was utterly scared and stressed, first evaristus gives a brutal showcase of might… a brilliant one though, then the next thing she knows, evaristus was barely helding onto consciousness after jessie did her new technique… and now she, leon, nita, bibi and bea were exploring ancient ruins… and the doors locked themselves, trapping them.
shelly: i should have known there were ancient ruins here… PAM's GONNA KILL ME…
colt: to be fair… no one knew of it's existance… and besides, those kids are tough, they can manage…
what we can do, is hope for the best, calm down… and find a way to open those doors.
shelly: thanks colt.. ok, i think some dynamite can blow up that rubble… (sees mandy and chester having a fight) but first… let's ensure those two don't mess up this rescue attempt… as for you evaristus…
evaristus: i'll keep an eye on the door and the park.,. i can manage, you hurry and start preparing everything to blast the door away…

Shelly: ok… then colt… it's showtime.
time to see if dynamike's up for a gig.
back at the ruins…
on the ilusory realm… amitie expected anything…
but not this… an ominous, muscular man… who seems… unnatural, as if divine in nature… yet embodiment of strife…
the man turned, staring at her and raffina… before unsheating his sword, it's blade a spiral in the place of a handle… the rest of the blade straightens up… the identity of the warrior… was susano'o
here goes susano'O's theme from warriors orochi
an unatural sense of dread slowly cimented itself on amitie and raffina, they didn't knew their foe's identity… but somehow they knew… they were messing with divine powers far beyond their comprehension… as much of a replica the illusion might be… he perfectly captures the essence of susano'o and his relentless drive to fight… it began charging at amitie… before raffina intervened… however, this left her forced to cut her puyo chains short to enhance her strikes to barely block susano'o… not to mention the unnerving fear was throwing her off her game…
amitie tried stacking her chain… but susano'o slashed air itself… casting a powerful energy wave to force her to guard…

Raffina was in the middle of a bladelock, her fierce kicks barely driving susano'os strikes to a stalemate… and he could keep going… unlike her…
raffina: can't keep up… i can't do a chain higher than 3… otherwise he'll cleave me in half…
amitie: but i can't stack… not without him attacking…
raffina: yes you can… i'll distract him…
amitie: but he will just focus on me… wait, i got it… if we combine the power of our chains…
raffina: we'll give the other the chance to overpower him… never tought you'd the brilliance of a tactician…
amitie: thanks… now, it's time to test that plan…
outside…
dynamike: so… you want a bunch of tnt to blow up an ancient door to save leon and friends from an ancient ruin?
shelly: pretty much… up for the challenge?
dynamike: you didn't have to ask… time to test my explosives against ancient constructions…
shelly: let's test one at a time… don't want to cause a cave-in…
dynamike: of course… and that saves me the explosives for a future brawl… let's hurry to begin the fireworks…
later
evaristus could feel the energy of japan's god of war, his imponence was recognizable… even if it was just a fascismile wearing his shape and name…
mandy: GIVE ME MY CROWN BACK CHESTER
chester: sorry… but it belongs to a King, not a brat…
mandy: when i get my hands on you-
evaristus: CALM DOWN!
it was a little annoying to endure the candy corner's pair… but their partner would be returning soon… evaristus jost loaths the pranks chester does… even he knows there's a limit to a good prankster…
besides, he was listening to the battle with susano'o… knowing the ancient's secrets lie beyond that Stone gate…
soon… my plan can begin true…
back at the ruins…
amitie: hey you!... try again, you big brute. (she was taunting susano'o, dodging all attacks he could throw before raffina finished her chain)
raffina: here's a 10 chain amitie… give those puyos a good use.
amitie: gladly… here goes.,. BAYOEN! (A FLURRY of fireballs flew through the air… exploding into countless fireworks as they impacted on susano'o, some he was able to block… others managed to hit him…)
even that didn't stop his onslaught, but raffina knew…
raffina: come here… if you dare…
susano'o approached her… rushing to impale her with his divine might… too bad he forgot about amitie…
amitie: raffi, here's a 15 chain… FINISH HIM!
raffina: well… it was fun… but things have to end somehow… now (harnessing the power of amitie's puyo chain, a combo of 15, she stood firm… empowered and ready) behold… the technique that graces the heavens… ARC EN CIEL… (she jumps high into the sky… nearly being iluminated by the sun, the ilusory sun that bathed the battlefield, were spears, cannons, barricades and garrisons where in sight) TWILIGHT DESCENT! (before crashing down… delivering a fierce downward kick… empowered by gravity and the puyos… it was enough to conquer, the ilusion of susano'o… earning them and their friends… the right to return home…

At the grand hall of the rainbow ruins

Leon: who chose the name? Just asking…
tec-xx: that would have been my choice, leon.
leon: fair enough…
here plays: hold the horny jokes please! (theme for joke's end, mario E Luigi: superstar saga)

Amitie: yeesh… what a rumble… never tought i'd put your cardion training sessions to good use…
raffina: told you the world was going to be more ruthless to face you only in puyo battles…
ringo: and that makes the two guardians… glad to have you back… tec… why only raffina and amitie fought the enemy?
tec-XX: it seems as there's an ancient power preventing more than four challengers… however, that number can become two… if only people from the same universo team up… so there's a limiter to your team: in case you return here, two brawlers and two puyo héroes should team up to guarantee a better opportunity against the remaining four guardians of the ruins… IF you wish to discover the secret of the fountain, that is…
nita: amitie… can i ask something?
amitie: sure…
nita: i felt a divine prescense there… even if it's faint… did you fought a god-like foe?
amitie: honestly… i couldn't tell…
nita: oh.. ok.
bibi looks at the pipes… which regain their color…
bibi: GUYS, LOOK!
lidelle sees them: the pipes… they are colored now… which means… we can return home.
maguro: and i guess the pipe with the puyos leads back to primp town…
bea: and the one depicting a brawl leads home… well…
leon: see you soon… we'll be seeing soon… right?
arle: of course, meeting you was such a thrill… and perhaps we can become better friends.
ringo: besides… exploring 5 more worlds seems like quite the adventure…
jessie: well… glad to be your friends… bye bye.
sig: take care.
draco: if you need help practicing how to fight… just come visit me.
amitie: see you soon.
the group separes…

Back in belle's canyon, on starr park…
Dynamike grabs a cartridge of dynamite… and carefully places it in front of the door…
shelly: at the count of three… you lit it to blow the door away…
colt spots a warp pipe opening…
colt: shelly… you should check this…
shelly: really? Not in the mood colt.
colt: no, really, a pipe appeared were there was not one here.
shelly: ok… that seems odd… dynamike… wait for my signal ok.
dynamike: well… the fun can wait…
shelly sees the pipe…
leon: GERONIMO!
and from it, leon, nita, bibi, bea and jessie appear… leon lands flawlessly… only for nita to fall on top of him… then bibi fell into nita, bea bounced into bibi… and jessie lands a little left from her friends…
shelly: YOU'RE ALIVE…!
she hughs them…
colt: told you they could escape…
leon and jessie: thanks for the hug… but-
bea and bibi: we need to breathe…
shelly: oh, sorry, got carried by the heat of the moment…
i need to ask to confirm… but that pipe leads to the ruins… right?
nita: yes… and to other worlds too.
shelly: ok… wait for a minute… (DYNAMIKE, BLAST IT AWAY)
dynamike: gladly… on one, on two… AND BLAST OFF!
Dynamike activates the dynamite, blowing up the Stone door… the blast activates the mechanism… keeping the ruins open…
shelly: now, what did you mean with the ruins connecting to other universes…
nita: well… to make a long story short…
meanwhile… inside the ruins…

Evaristus sees the fountain…
evaristus: the ancient manuscripts i found in dream land were right… THERE IS A PLACE THAT CONNECTS WORLDS… ok… that makes the plans a lot easier… and by the looks of it… i only need one powerful artifact from each world… that can be easily done…
once they're gathered… i can begin to shape my ambition… but first… let's enjoy a day here… a Little rest.

Elsewhere… on dream land

Here plays dedede's theme (from kirby battle royale)
profesor frankly, the researcher of the ruins from the university of goom, was informing King dedede of what was discovered…
frankly: to be Frank, a ruin with powers to connect realities together… is quite a refreshing discovery…
dedede: but on the wrong hands… i rather play it safe… no thanks to my counterpart of cappy town…
tell Tec-xx to give a letter to the brawlers and the puyo crew… it's time that this King got to meet the newest stars… the next generation of heroes…
meanwhile… i'll go warn meta knight… good luck frankly.
frankly: good luck to you too, sire… thanks for funding our research.
dedede: for nothing, if it can ensure the safety of our worlds… i'll gladly help your ancient research… but we might need goombella's help… so call her in your free time… goodbye.
dedede cuts the call, dusts his hammer.
dedede: another adventure… PERFECT, it was becoming a Little too quiet here in dream land… better take the first step to ensure this journey doesn't go outta control…
