Hey, guys. Welcome to the next chapter of, 'The Adventures of the Heroes of Pure Heart!'. I hope that you guys will enjoy the chapter...anyway, I don't own anything except for my OCs as the OC Lucky Seven belongs entirely to 9655.

NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!

"Do, do-do, do, do, do-do. I love to train under Mao Mao and Stretch~," Adorabat sang under her breath cheerfully as it was a normal day in the Kingdom of Pure Heart and we see the Heroes of Pure Heart hanging out in said kingdom with Adorabat drawing on a piece of paper on the ground while Badgerclops and Lucky sat near her as Mao Mao and Stretch were currently dealing with a couple of Sweetypies. "Someday, I'm gonna be an Adventurer just like them," Adorabat says with a big grin while showing off her drawing to Badgerclops and Lucky as they see a drawing of a bigger version of Adorabat holding a golden sword and wearing a long blue cape as Mao Mao and Stretch can be seen bowing to her amazing heroic endeavors. "See, guys? I'm the big one."

"You know, we could teach you to be an adventurer, too, you know?" Lucky pointed out with a playful grin as Badgerclops nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, our ways are a little different, but-,"

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, shut up! Mao Mao and Stretch are about to do something incredible!" A starry-eyed Adorabat says while flying up to land on a table, and pointing over at Mao Mao and Stretch as they were still talking with Chubbum and a Sweetypie.

Standing before us is a 3-feet-tall, 6-year-old Male Sweetypie Rhinoceros as his body resembles a stuffed animal with a pair of pink eyes, no hair as he had a large pink horn protruding from his forehead with a smaller one taking shape on the back of his head, a pair of pink ears, two holes that acted as a nose, a sharp chin, a large pink heart planted on his chest, a pair of pink hooved hands, a small pink tail, and a pair of pink hooved legs as he wore no clothes. His name is Pinky, a Sweetypie Rhinoceros inhabitant of Pure Heart Valley.

"Alright, alright. Now, what happened?" Mao Mao asked with an annoyed tone as Chubbum pointed over at Pinky angrily due to said person holding onto his yellow ball and sticks out his tongue at him immaturely.

"So, I had told him that that was mine!"

"And what I said was that I wanted it!"

"Why don't you kids just share the ball?" Stretch pointed out with a dry tone as the kids blinked slowly and slowly went, 'Ohhhhhhhh', in realization as the Heroes of Pure Heart then turned around to walk back over to their teammates.

"Great job, Sheriffs, you're my heroes!" Adorabat praised cheerfully as Stretch smiled softly and reached over to rub her head.

"Happy to hear that, Adorabat."

"Ugh, you know, when we agreed to be the Sheriffs here, it was to protect this place from danger, not babysit." Mao Mao says with an annoyed growl as Lucky raises an eyebrow confusedly.

"Uh, what are you talking about? We have great adventures, like, every day. Don't you remember that we had confronted a Giant Rock Monster and fought the Sky Pirates?" Lucky pointed out as a nostalgic Mao Mao smiled and nodded.

"They are great, aren't they? Yeah, but they're not perfect! You see, the perfect adventure has four key elements."

"What?! Tell me!" An excited Adorabat pleaded as Mao Mao turned to her with a serious glare on his face.

"First is mystery, you know with spies and intrigue. Second, high stakes, like a falling baby or a bomb about to explode. Then extreme danger...pretty self-explanatory. Finally, a big fat reward. Together, they create the perfect adventure."

"Amazing!" A starry-eyed Adorabat says as Badgerclops rolls his eye dryly.

"The last thing you need is more adventure. Why not try to relax for a single day?"

"I...ah, maybe you're right. Maybe our lives as adventurers are over." Mao Mao says with a somber tone as Adorabat's eyes widen in shock and horror as she gasps sharply.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..."

"Uh, Mao Mao? You DO realize that just because we can't have perfect adventures again, it doesn't mean that we still can't have great adventures, right?" Stretch pointed out as he and the others were oblivious to the fact that Adorabat was screaming in anguish in the background.

"Hmmm...yeah, I guess you are right. I guess that we just have to settle for the boring life of humble monster-fighting action heroes."

"...OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Adorabat screamed before stoping as she gripped her head concernedly.

"If Mao Mao and Stretch stop being adventurers, how can they teach me to be one? I got to do something!" A determined Adorabat thought to herself with a glare as a worried Lucky turned to her.

"Adorabat, are you all right-,"

"THERE'S A MYSTERY!" Adorabat screamed, suddenly getting everyone's attention as they all turned to her. "It has to do with the, uh...Delivery! The delivery vans!" Adorabat yelled while pointing over at a nearby Delivery Van as it drove past them and accidentally dropped a bag filled with mysterious cargo inside.

"Delivery vans?" A suspicious Stretch asked with his arms crossed as Adorabat nodded anxiously.

"Yeah, full of super mysterious cargo," Adorabat says as a curious Lucky goes over to the bag and opens it to reveal a bunch of apples inside as he gives her a flat look.

"Adorabat, this bag is just filled with apples..."

"Yeah, uh, see, they're - they-re, uh...bombs! Exploding apple bombs!" Adorabat lied while flying over to grab the bag filled with apples and then tossed it away as she began mimicking exploding sounds. "Aah! Boom! Boom! Boom, boom! Boom!"

"...It's so stupid, it's obvious." A glaring Mao Mao says as Badgerclops scoffs and rolls his eyes as he shakes his head.

"Are you serious? It just sounds like Adorabat's making this stuff up." Badgerclops pointed out as Adorabat sweated nervously.

"Allow me to explain, Adorabat. Badgerclops isn't quite on our level. The mysterious vans are used by a network of evil spies planning to explode the roof off the castle and make off with the Ruby Pure Heart in a thrill-a-minute-action-packed conspiracy."

"...Uh...yeah, that's it!" Adorabat says with a sheepish laugh as a serious Mao Mao turned to glare at them.

"It's up to us to foil this plot, and save the kingdom."

"Is he serious about this?" A disbelieving Lucky asked Stretch as said person shrugged.

"Eh, Adorabat maybe bullshitting but at least this gives us something to do."

"Heh, there may just be a perfect adventure here after all." Mao Mao says while throwing back his head and then laughing maniacally as he then reaches behind him and pulls out several disguises and throws them over to Badgerclops and Lucky. "Here, boys, put these on."

"Where did you even get this?"

"I have a million disguises." Mao Mao says while suddenly wearing a white beard and a long blue robe as he continued laughing evilly.

~[The Adventures of the Heroes of Pure Heart Theme Song!]~

Adorabat: I love you!

I love you, Stretch and Mao Mao!

It was a beautiful day in the Pure Heart Valley as we cue over to the Sheriff Department Headquarters and we then zoomed into the Living Room as we see Stretch lying down on the ground on his back and joining his fingers together as he began forming them into multiple different shapes boredly while Lucky was currently floating in the air as he was meditating and covered himself in a sphere made out of the elements like air, fire, earth, and water as Mao Mao was sitting on the couch and was sharpening his Geraldine Sword as Badgerclops sat beside him and was playing a game on the Switch as a smiling Adorabat sat near them on the ground and was drawing a picture of her becoming a legendary hero with the others praising her as she brutally beat the Sky Pirates to a bloody pulp and was covered in their blood and guts as the Sweetypie Bat Child laughed maniacally.

The Heroes of Pure Heart, minus Badgerclops, then perked up when the Monster Alarm rang out as Stretch swiftly turned his limbs into springs, and then jumped up high into the air, and began bouncing across the whole room before launching himself over to burst through the doors as Lucky dissipated his elemental sphere and landed on the ground while gripping his sword tightly as he ran off and a toothily grinning Mao Mao did a triple front flip off of the couch as he landed on the ground and ran out of headquarters as a starry-eyed and excited Adorabat took flight as she followed after the boys...and suddenly one of Stretch's giant fists suddenly stretched into the Sheriff's Department Headquarters to grab a distracted Badgerclops as he pulled him outside against his will.

After returning back to the Sheriff's Department Headquarters upon being reminded that their Aero-Cycles were placed INSIDE of their HQ, the Heroes of Pure Heart then made their way inside Badgerclops' Garage through the four sliding poles and landed inside as Stretch went over to leap onto his Aero-Cycle with Adorabat flying over to land behind him as Lucky jumped over to land on his Aero-Cycle and Mao Mao and Badgerclops went over to sit down on their Aero-Cycles as the group then activated their flying vehicles and took off into the air as they then flew down the long tunnel that leads into the Sheriff's Department Headquarters Waterfall and burst through it while being covered in cold water for a few seconds before being instantly dried by the intense wind as the Heroes of Pure Heart headed straight towards the Pure Heart Valley.

Once they arrived at Pure Heart Valley, the Heroes of Pure Heart spotted the Sky Pirates' Airship flying above the village as it began firing multiple lasers and missiles down at Pure Heart Valley, forcing the citizens to run around in fear and shock as the gang shared a serious glare and jumped off their respective Aero-Cycles to land down on the Sky Pirates' Airship to face their enemies as Mao Mao ran over to swing his Geraldine Sword at Orangusnake, who reached behind him to pull out his pink energy dual-edged battleaxe as he ran over to trade blows with his Mortal Enemy while Badgerclops raised his Robotic Arm and morphed it into a large mechanical energy blaster as he began firing multiple blue energy blasts at Boss Hosstrich with said person morphing his arms into a pair of robotic energy blasters to fire several purple energy blasts at him.

A smiling Adorabat then flew over to begin tickling Ratarang's belly and caused him to transform involuntarily into a boomerang as the Hero-In-Training then grabbed him with her leg and peg leg as she proceeded to toss him overboard to have him fall to his horrible death, Stretch ran forward to raise his fists and grew them in size to latch onto Thunder Fists' arms in a deadlock as they glared at each other in determination and anger, and Lucky zoomed forward while covering his sword with intense flames as he then thrusted it forward and fired a big stream of flames at Steel Wing, who used his wings to block his attack as Ramaraffe could be seen busy handling the ship's blasters to shoot down at the citizens of Pure Heart Valley.

Adorabat: Finaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally, my dreams are coming true!

You two are showing me how,

How to be a true hero like you!

After defeating the Sky Pirates, the Heroes of Pure Hearts then noticed that a bunch of Evil Powerful Monsters were able to infiltrate the Pure Heart Valley and began attacking the innocent civilians as, after flying down into the village, a roaring Mao Mao rushed forward with his Geraldine Sword glowing a bright golden color as he began sending out multiple golden energy slices that zoomed over to slash multiple Monsters in half, Stretch swiftly grew in size to be 50-foot-tall and ran over to ram against a Giant Monster trying to steal the Ruby Pure Heart to tackle it away, Badgerclops landed in front of a group of Sweeties and morphed his Robotic Arm into a giant sawblade to slice a charging monster in half and then morphed into a big flamethrower to fire out a big stream of blue flames that began burning several monsters into black ashes, a smirking Adorabat flew through the air and grabbed several Sweeties to then take them to safety, and Lucky jumped up high into the air as he held out his sword and then slammed it down into the ground, creating a huge tremor that popped out several large pieces of rock that pierced through various monsters as Badgerclops then had his Robotic Arm pop out a small bomb and Adorabat flew over to grab it as she took off into the air while avoiding all of the incoming lasers and missiles as she was able to fly up to the Sky Pirates' Airship and dropped the bomb down it, causing a huge explosion to occur that destroyed the ship as the Heroes of Pure Heart flew onto the scene with the help of their Aero-Cycles as Stretch stretched his right arm over to grab Adorabat and pulled her over to land on his lap as they then took off into the air and we fast forward in time as we see the Heroes of Pure Heart standing on top of the Ruby Pure Heart and a giant Stretch laid on top of it with his friends sitting on his right soldier as Badgerclops reached over to hug Mao Mao and Lucky, much to their playful annoyance as Adorabat laid on BC's left shoulder and sticks out her tongue cheerfully as the title of the story appeared above them.

~[The Adventures of the Heroes of Pure Heart Theme Song Over!]~

"Ugh, so heavy." A groaning Badgerclops says while we see him and Lucky wearing Apple Delivery Uniforms as they could be seen walking up to the Pure Heart Kingdom Castle's Kitchen Door. "Why couldn't we just go through the front door?" Badgerclops asked tiredly while carrying around Stretch, who had morphed himself into a huge sack as he held Mao Mao and Adorabat inside.

"We're talking about a kingdom-wide conspiracy here. We got to play this stealthy."

"Plus, why are you complaining anyway? We flew most of the way here." Lucky pointed out while pointing behind them as their Aerocycles could be seen parked literally two feet away, and the duo had only walked up a really small staircase that led to the door.

"Okay, yes, but these three are way heavier than they look." Badgerclops pointed out as Adorabat giggled and clasped her wings over her mouth.

"That's because I have dense bones."

"You are adorable, Adorabat," Stretch says while morphing his face to appear inside of himself as Badgerclops and Lucky knock on the Pure Heart Kingdom Castle's Kitchen Door as the Chef opens it up.

Standing before them is a 4'5-feet-tall, 30-year-old Male Sweetypie Dog as his body resembles a stuffed animal with a pair of black eyes, no hair as he had a pair of blue ears planted on top of his head, a big snout with a black nose and a row of white teeth, a sharp chin, a pair of five-fingered blue furry pawed hands, a long fluffy blue tail, a pair of five-toed blue furry paws legs, and his outfit consists of a white chef's hat, a red scarf wrapped around his neck, a long-sleeved white chef's shirt with four buttons, and no pants/shoes. His name is Rhett the Chef, an inhabitant of Pure Heart Valley, and the Royal Chef for King Snugglemagne, and his fellow co-workers.

"Who is it?"

"I'm, uh, Apple?"

"And I'm Lychee." Lucky lied as Rhett the Chef beamed.

"Well, those are very nice, nice, names."

"Thanks, they are nice names," Badgerclops says while allowing them to get inside of the kitchen as he closes the door behind them.

"Just drop the bag with the others." Rhett the Chef says while pointing over at a bunch of bags placed in front of a table filled with food as Badgerclops and Lucky drool as they run over to begin eating them. "Oh, uh, alright, let's see." Rhett the Chef says while opening the bag, only for Stretch to morph himself back to normal as he, Mao Mao, and Adorabat land down on the ground.

"Hi." Mao Mao greeted with a sinister tone as he then ran over to aim his Geraldine Sword at a nervous Rhett the Chef's neck. "Alright, spy. Tell me what you-,"

"He passed out, Mao Mao." A deadpanned Stretch says while pointing over at a now unconscious Rhett the Chef as he crashed down onto the ground.

"Oh, damn..."

"Welp, none of the food here are bombs," Badgerclops says as he and Lucky return while finishing eating the food as Stretch raises an eyebrow confusedly.

"How do you figure?"

"Uh, we ate it, and we didn't explode,"

"Don't worry, I had Badgerclops scan them before eating them," Lucky says reassuringly as he then looked around curiously. "So, uh, there are no apple bombs, so adventure over?"

"Seems like it," Stretch says with a shrug as a disappointed Mao Mao sighs heavily.

"Let's go home."

"No! It can't end here!" Adorabat thought to herself anxiously as Badgerclops beamed.

"Good, man, I can't wait to just chill, and eat some steaks."

"Wait...steaks? That's it!" Adorabat thought to herself excitedly as she then flew over to the boys. "There's no bombs in here because the king is already eating it!"

"What?!" Mao Mao, Badgerclops, Stretch, and Lucky exclaimed concernedly as we cue over to the Pure Heart Valley Kingdom Throne Room, and we see King Snugglemagne enjoying some delicious tarts as they each had a sparkler on them.

"Oh, you naughty little thing! You've been very bad and must go into the dungeon~!,"

"DROP THAT TART!" Mao Mao screamed sternly while he and the rest of the Pure Heart Heroes could be seen kicking the door open and struck heroic poses as King Snugglemagne flinched in surprise.

"Oh, the Heroes of Pure Heart. Mao Mao, my dear sheriff, whatever is the-Hey!" King Snugglemagne says before screaming panickedly as Lucky swings his sword over to send out a small stream of fire that flies over to burn through the stick holding the tart, causing it to fall down as Lucky then fires a big wave of air that sends it flying over to crash through the window. "My tart! What the hell are you doing?!"

"Saving your life!" Mao Mao yelled as Adorabat flew over to collide against the tray of tarts that King Snugglemagne was holding, sending it flying upwards as Badgerclops morphed his Robot Arm into an energy blaster and fired a big blast of blue energy that incinerated all of the tarts.

"I hardly got to eat any..." King Snugglemagne says with a pout as a worried Stretch turns to him.

"You already ate some?"

"Yes...wait, why are you looking at me like that?" A concerned King Snugglemagne says just as Stretch stretches his arms over to shove inside of his mouth and begins going down his throat with Adorabat smiling creepily at this as Mao Mao goes over to restrain their king from behind.

"I think I've got the bomb!"

"Extract it now!" Mao Mao ordered with a glare as Stretch took out his arms to see that he was holding some mush.

"It's just...mush."

"So...no explosive?"

"Nope," Stretch says as Mao Mao sweated nervously and turned to laugh at a furious and gagging King Snugglemagne.

"Ah, welp, our mistake, Your Majesty. Uh, we'll just forget about it."

"GET OUT!" King Snugglemagne ordered angrily while having his guards kicked out the Heroes of Pure Heart from his throne room as they began walking down the stairs.

"Oh, no. The perfect adventure, it can't be over yet." A concerned Adorabat thought to herself as Badgerclops smiled contentedly.

"Ah, the perfect adventure, I got free food, and now I'm walking downstairs."

"I've got to do something to keep this going." Adorabat thought to herself urgently just as Mao Mao suddenly dropped down to his knees as she flew over to check on him. "Mao Mao, don't worry. I'm sure we can-,"

"A-ha!" Mao Mao yelled with a heroic grin while placing the plaster cast of King Snugglemagne's foot on the paw print on the ground, allowing the staircase to open up to reveal a door that led into the dungeon with the Heroes of Pure Heart looking gobsmacked by this as Mao Mao began laughing evilly. "Ah, I love being right."

"Wait, what's going on?" A heavily confused Adorabat asked as Mao Mao turned to her.

"Simple. During our tussle with the king, I detected a whiff of sulfur and limestone, meaning he'd been underground recently, so I found his itinerary, which mentioned a secret dungeon, so while Stretch was reaching down the king's mouth, I made a plaster cast of the king's foot. All that was left was to find the secret switch. The exploding food was just a red herring, right, Adorabat?"

"Uh...yeah," Adorabat says with a nervous laugh as Stretch raises an eyebrow confusedly.

"Dude, how'd you know you'd need his foot?"

"Lucky guess." Mao Mao says with a shrug as he and the others turn around to get inside of the dungeon.


"...Ah, smell that dank, musty air!" A grinning Mao Mao says as we see him and the others walking down the stairs that lead to the underground dungeon.

"Ugh, it smells like shit in here." A disgusted Lucky says as Adorabat can be seen riding around on Badgerclop's back.

"Now this is more like it. It seems that we are going to have quite the adventure here." Stretch says with a smirk as Badgerclops rolls his eye boredly.

"Fine. Let's just get this over with so I can resume my chill."

"Mmm, Badgerclops keeps trying to end the adventure. I have to find a way to get rid of him if I'm gonna pull this off." Adorabat thought to herself with a serious glare as she then gave Badgerclops a fake cheerful smile. "Thanks for carrying me, Badgerclops. Looks like there's gonna be a lot of walking~,"

"That's it. I'm out."

"What's wrong?" A confused Stretch asked as Badgerclops reached up to grab Adorabat and placed her down on the ground as he gave the gang a stern glare.

"We've been doing things your way all day, man. I'm done."

"But what about the perfect adventure?" A pouting Mao Mao asked as Badgerclops rolled his eye.

"You keep saying, 'Adventure', when what you really mean is, 'Walking up and down stairs all day!', so y'all have fun in egg blast caverns. I'm gonna go chill." Badgerclops says sassily as he turns around to walk away.

"Badgerclops is easily the most laziest person that we know," Lucky says to Stretch as said person nods in agreement.

"Badgerclops, noooooo...oh, well, he'll come around." Mao Mao cried out in anguish before calming down as he smiled calmly. "All perfect adventures have dramatic reunions."

"It's all coming together. If I could just keep this adventure going, all my little dreams will come true." Adorabat thought to herself excitedly and blushed happily as she reached behind her to pull out her drawing before noticing a mousetrap with a piece of peanut butter placed on the ground as the Sweetypie obliviously reached down to try and grab it, only for Stretch to stretch his arm over to grab her and pulled her away as the spike trap was activated.

"Whoa, be careful there, little Deputy. That was bait that leads to a trap." Stretch warned as Adorabat beamed.

"Ooh, more bait! More bait, more bait, more bait, more bait!" Adorabat cheered while walking forward with the others as they reached a cage containing a monster, and she screamed in fear. "Aah, there's monsters down there!" Adorabat yelled with sparkling, glistening eyes as Mao Mao walked over to grab her wing and pulled her away.

"All the more reason not to take the bait. Never forget, a monster-," Mao Mao says before getting caught off as a Bug Monster appears on the scene.

"Heh, don't worry, we can take this guy on by ourselves-Oh..." Stretch says reassuringly before noticing that a bunch more Bug Monsters appeared on the scene.

"What do we do?" Adorabat asked nervously as everyone grew serious.

"We fight!" Lucky yelled while pulling out his sword and stabbing it into the ground, creating a big rockwave that killed a bunch of Bug Monsters as Mao Mao ran over to slash a bunch of Bug Monsters into a billion pieces with his Geraldine Sword while Stretch stretched out his arms and grew them in size as he then slammed them on top of multiple Bug Monsters to squish them to death.

"That was the greatest thing I've ever seen! I will never wash these eyeballs!" Adorabat gushed as she blushed heavily.

"It was pretty fun," Stretch says with a smirk as Mao Mao shrugged boredly.

"Eh, it was a bit underwhelming. I mean, it was dangerous and all, but it wasn't extremely dangerous. If there are about 100 more of them, sure. Maybe - maybe they could take me but not with my sword." Mao Mao says as Adorabat perks up and turns around to walk over to kick aside a bait, allowing the cage to open up as a bunch of Bug Monsters appear on the scene.

"Huh, where did y'all come from?!" A glaring Lucky yelled as he, Mao Mao, Stretch, and Adorabat took a couple of steps back as all of the Bug Monsters surrounded them.

"Why are there so many?!" A shocked Mao Mao asked as a worried and guilty Adorabat glanced up at her friends.

"There's no way I can keep this up. Guys? I have something important to tell you." Adorabat says just as a big beam of blue energy occurred that vaporized a big group of Bug Monsters, and the gang turned their heads to see a smirking Badgerclops holding out his transformed Robotic Arm.

"Badgerclops!"

"Yay! You came back!" A beaming Adorabat says as Badgerclops shrugs.

"It was a lot of stairs. Besides, I missed y'all."

"Awww." Stretch cooed as the Heroes of Pure Heart then took fighting poses.

"Let's do this, gang!" Lucky yelled while he and the others ran forward as the Humanoid Cats were able to slice various Bug Monsters in half, Badgerclops morphed his Robotic Arm into a giant arm as he and Stretch slammed their huge fists down at several Bug Monsters to kill them all, and Adorabat can be seen running away from a couple of Bug Monsters as they all accidentally ran out off a cliff and began falling down to their deaths...only for the Sweetypie Bat to take flight and floated up into the air as she beamed.

"Oh, yeah, I can fly."

"Whew, that's got to be it," Badgerclops says while morphing his Robotic Arm back to normal as Stretched stretches himself back to normal, and Lucky and Mao Mao put away their weapons.

"Yep true," Lucky says with a nod as Mao Mao then perked up.

"Wait, you hear that? Heavenly music, giant padded door?" Mao Mao asked while running over to a nearby giant padded door as he perked up. "Oh-ho, my friends, I present to you the best part of a perfect adventure, our big fat reward!" Mao Mao says with a big grin while opening up the door, only to see King Snugglemagne playing around on a harpsichord inside a giant room as he yelped in surprise.

"Aah! What are you doing here?!"

"What are we-What are you doing here?!" An angry and heavily confused Mao Mao asked as King Snugglemagne pointed over at his harpsichord sheepishly.

"Practicing harpsichord."

"A hundred feet underground in a sealed chamber?" A disbelieving and flabbergasted Stretch pointed out as King Snugglemagne blushed shyly.

"...I'm very shy..."

"What about the monsters?" Lucky pointed out as King Snugglemagne sighed heavily.

"Overgrown pests, I'm afraid. I put up traps with peanut butter and everything. I-I don't know what I'm doing wrong." King Snugglemagne says as the Heroes of Pure Heart sigh heavily, and we fast forward in time as we see the gang emerging out of King Snugglemagne's Secret Dungeon and notice that the sun is setting in the background.

"...Stairs, bad..." Badgerclops panted out as Mao Mao stared down at the ground solemnly.

"It doesn't make any sense. There was mystery, high stakes, extreme danger. Where did we go wrong?"

"Aw, come on, man. Maybe the king's harp-a-chord playing was the reward," Badgerclops says as Lucky rolled his eyes.

"I'm pretty sure that wasn't the reward."

"Guys? I have a confession to make. I made it all up." Adorabat says, shocking everyone as she sheds guilty tears. "The mystery, the high stakes, everything."

"You made it up? Why?" Stretch asked as Adorabat teared up even more.

"I thought if you couldn't be adventurers, you couldn't teach me to be one, and then why would you even want me around?"

"So you're telling me you lied about a government conspiracy, had us assault the king, led us into the heart of a dungeon full of monsters just so, what? You could give me the perfect adventure?" A seemingly angry Mao Mao asked...before going over to hug a surprised Adorabat as he smiled down at her warmly. "Thank you. You're the best little pal a sheriff could have."

"Also, lying is wrong. I feel like we glossed over that today." Badgerclops says as a sniffling Adorabat glances up at them hopefully.

"So, you guys will still teach me to be an adventurer?"

"Of course, besides, Adorabat, even if we gave up being Adventurers, which we won't, we will still teach you how to be one because we made a promise," Stretch says while grabbing Adorabat and placing her on his shoulder as Lucky rubs her head affectionately.

"Yeah, besides, with friends like you, Adorabat, every adventure can be a perfect one. Who knows how many await us?" Lucky says while he and the rest of the Heroes of Pure Heart stare into the sunrise as they can't wait to see what kind of adventures they will have in the future.


And done. I hope you guys enjoyed the new chapter, and I can't wait to write the next chapter.

Anyway, as always, I will catch you all next time.
