Kouja no Senshi
Chapter 9: Slumberland Arc
Act 30: The Princess of Slumberland
(OP: Over Soul by Megumi Hayashibara)
Narrator: Previously on Kouja no Senshi...
Hotaru: Guys, I guess you're guards in my dream-
Meowth: Shh! Keep quiet. We're here to get ya back.
Hotaru: But I haven't met the king or princess yet.
Jessie: Princess?
Phage: Very interesting...
Skarr: Let's see what this "King" looks like.
Kate: By the way, Adelaine, you're a strange human.
Adelaine: (frowns) I'm a mouse, thank you.
She gasped, looking inside before noticing her mouse face and ears inside.
Kate: But you're a Toon I haven't seen before. Not like that awesome Professor Ratigan.
Hiram: Ick, anyone falling for Ratigan is officially on my death wish list.
Ratigan: (annoyed) Don't push it.
Rini: You're that clown I saw in that forest with the mushrooms!
Flip: The Mushroom Forest, of course. That's correct, lady.
Nemo: You're a frightful fella, aren't you?
Flip: Correct, kiddo, I’m frightfully funny, frightfully friendly, and I can make your dreams come true.
He jumped over them, then slid next to Nemo, placing his arm around him.
Flip: So, you wanna meet the king, huh?
Julie: That is the case, yes.
Flip: Then leave everything to me.
Rini: Strange...you mentioned keys for some reason...and I think candy.
Flip: Which reminds me, boy. Many of the creatures here will give you a ride if you feed them candy. You can ride for as long as you like. Also, many doors are locked. You will need to collect a different key for each lock in order to get through.
Hotaru: You mean the candy and cookies Bon Bon gave us?
Flip: Of course!
Smoke was blown to a few as some of them coughed. Icarus chirped in concern.
Nemo: So, you really know where the king is, huh?
Flip: (nods) Of course, I know everything around here.
Bowser: (to himself) At least Gannon dork, Jafar, Father, and that dragon the Phage offered an alliance to aren't here.
Iago: Tell me about it.
Flip then took out something from his coat.
Flip: I am the exclusive, the one and the only holder of the official map of-
Then, he got out a map with a dark place on it.
Group: Nightmareland?
Flip then gasped as he looked at the map of Nightmareland.
Flip: Oops, wrong one.
He then switched the map and pulled out a different map.
Nemo: Oh, Slumberland!
Flip: Ya betcha, kid.
Kate: Professor Ratigan!? (blushing) What brings you here?
Ratigan: Shh! Quiet, dear.
He placed back the disguise hat just as they got up, with Sailor Mars noticing, frowning.
Sailor Mars: (groans) Oh no, my troublemaking cousin came. Ugh, why did she had to come?
Sailor Jupiter: You have a cousin?
Sailor Moon: Two...Kate comes from my father's side...that's another reason I don't like her too much.
Sailor Star Lover: And that's a problem, why?
Kate: Raye, come on. I can't believe you'd say that to your cousin.
Sailor Mars: Come on! The last time you came to the shrine, you messed up with the charm sails and made the temple a mess!
Kate: (frowns) Don't blame me for having a cruddy way of doing things, cous.
Puppetmon, meanwhile, noticed a remote on the ground.
Puppetmon: Huh? What's this? (reading) On...Off...Destroy Everyone and Everything Mode...I wonder what that third button does?
He pressed it, though nothing happened.
Puppetmon: Aw man, nothing! (frowns) What a waste!
He tossed the remote away. Unknown to any of them, the toys began to turn on with red eyes while the others looked at the place.
Hiram: Toy room...(to himself) reminds me too much of that nutcracker...
Adelaine: (to herself) Hiram...
Professor Genius: Ahem. Your majesty, may I present Nemo, and the Kouja no Senshi.
Man: (grins) Oh, yes. We've met.
Some of them, including Nemo, gasped as they realized who she was.
Nemo: (shocked) You-your majesty? You're the King?!
Fuzzy: What!?
Virgil: I knew there was something familiar about you.
Trunks: Eh, I knew it the moment I saw him.
Pan: (confused) You did?
Morpheus: Ha-ha-ha. Oh, please. Let's dispense with the formalities. Just call me Morphy.
Professor Genius: (surprised) Morphy?
Nemo's Group: Morphy?
Morpheus: With this key, you can open any door in Slumberland.
It was placed on her neck as Nemo grinned.
Nemo: Wow, thanks Morphy.
Freakazoid: Cool!
Morpheus: (seriously) But I must warn you this. There is one door you must never open. (points to the key) The door with that symbol on it.
They looked at the symbol with a dragon on the key.
Morpheus: This you must promise, and this promise you must never break.
Hotaru: (nods) Yes, we promise, sir we promise you.
Splinter: And we'll be there to help these three keep that promise.
Morpheus: Well, I'm glad we all understand. (to Professor Genius) Now, professor, escort my heirs and their friends to meet the Princess.
Professor Genius: (nods) Of course, your majesty.
Nemo: (glum) Uh, the princess? Already?
Kate: Ugh, Raye! Ya stupid cousin of mine! How dare you ditch me again! (frowns) I can't believe she does this. Every time I try to visit, she always says I'm the black sheep and disaster member of the family.
Fidgit: Uh, what do you mean?
Kate: The last time I went there, I was banned from the Hikawa Shrine!
Drakken: Tough, kid. Tough.
Puppetmon: Hey, why don't you try hanging with us? I bet we're more buddy type with you.
Machinedramon: Ugh, that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Piedmon: Not to mention the stupidity has gone straight to his head.
James: (teary) But what about poor Hotaru?! She could be dying if we aren't there! Where in the world could she be?!
Fidgit: (sweatdrops) A little exaggeration much?
James: Besides...I know how Hotaru feels. Her alone, with not a real friend in the world, being given lessons without heart, never being truly loved...When I look at her, she reminds me of myself before I finally had the nerve to finally leave my rich life behind. If I wanted to be the rich man, I would have done it with heart, not by force.
Jessie: James...
Metalseadramon: Oh, quit griping about your past. (pointing) She's right over there.
There, they looked as they saw the others being lead to the stairs.
James: She's alive! Hotaru, the girl like the little sister I never had, she's okay!
Some: (to themselves) Idiot...
Mirage: Are you sure it's here?
Phage: Of course...besides, I doubt there is anything light around this area.
Then, they noticed a part of the dark aura creeping out slightly from the floor before vanishing.
Katz: Frankly, I think we found out where it might lead us...
Phage: But the question is...how do we get to what we need?
In a penthouse hallway, a few girls hid behind the plants and watched as the elevator with Nemo's group along with Professor Genius came up.
Bellhop: Last stop, the rosebud room, Princess Camille's penthouse.
Girl 1: There he is.
Girl 2: It's Nemo, he's cool!
Girl 4: And those are the girls! They're cute and pretty!
Girl 3: All right!
Yang: Uh...did we just enter a Beatles dream?
Professor Genius: (grins) At last.
He then looked at Professor Genius as he spoke.
Professor Genius: Now let's get you tidy up at least.
Virgil: Allow me.
He then fixed Nemo's hair, which looked like it was slick and neat.
Virgil: There.
It then popped back to his normal hairstyle.
Mighty Max: You are no hair stylist, Virg.
Virgil: Well, I tried.
The elevator went up as the ones below looked at the elevator going up.
Meowth: Looks like we can't even get to any of them. Now what, Rat Girl?
The angered Kate punched Meowth in the eye.
Kate: Call me that again, I will declaw you and pull that stupid coin out of your head!
Meowth: (groaning) Great, someone else to be offended by!
Hiram: (glancing at Ratigan) Where have I seen that before?
Ratigan: Please, don't start.
With the others, the elevator stopped before it opened.
Reiko: Come on.
The man then pulled Nemo along to the doors leading to the Princess's room with the heroes following.
Professor Genius: Follow me, people, the princess is waiting.
The others followed while he continued.
Profesosr Genius: Now, be on your best behavior, everyone, remember her Royal Majesty Camille is a princess.
Phil: Well that is the obviously case, isn't it?
The door then opened as they saw a girl playing the harp and singing.
Dawson: (amazed) So that's Princess Camille.
Camille: (singing) Slumberland, Slumberland
Joys without number-land
Rainbows end
Kingdom of dreamy times
Star beams and valentines
Where everyone is a friend
Here's where lost wishes are granted
Cast away dreams all come true
It's fun to be under the slumbery wonder of
Slumberland
Grievous: Good singer. Reminds me of Yumi or Shaak Ti.
Sailor Star Rocker: (frowns) Shaak Ti?!
Grievous: Someone from long ago, it's not a big deal.
Professor Genius: Ahem. Your highness, your grace. Forgive the intrusion, princess, but may I present "Little Nemo, Princess Rini, Lady Hotaru, and their friends".
The girl stopped playing and turned her attention to them.
Camille: Oh, yes.
Professor Genius: (to everyone) Well?
The group bowed, though Fuzzy was forced to bow.
Fuzzy: I hate bowing!
Nemesis: Fuzzy, show respect. This is a princess.
Camille: Indeed you may, Professor Genius.
He then came down the stairs as Nemo with the two female friends presented themselves.
Camille: So this is Nemo, Rini, and Hotaru. (notices) Odd. I don't recall calling for more playmates.
Mr. Grumpy: We saw the blimp and got curious and followed, plus we're not getting sent to the prison: real or imaginary.
Mr. Bump: Don't ask, please.
Penny: You know...it's strange.
Prince John: What's strange, dear lady?
Penny: When I'm with you, Videl, VM, Snake, Julayla, Kimi, Mimi, Jeri, and Numbah 3, I feel somewhat familiar.
Numbah 3: Oh, does this mean you may be...(gasps) our long lost sister!?
Penny: I'm not sure...
Camille looked at the boy and the others, who were waving to him. She then stood there, expecting something while the professor whispered.
Professor Genius: (whispers to them) Thank her for the present.
Nemo: Hmmm?
Rini: Huh?
Hotaru: What?
Virgil: You know, the cookies, children. As well as the candy.
Nemo then looked at her as he sheepishly spoke, showing some crumbled cookies.
Nemo: Oh yeah...uh, thanks your highness, it was most thoughtful of you.
Freakazoid, Max, & Psycho: (girl voice) Awkward!
Knuckles: Guys!
Three: What?
Camille: (nods) You're welcome. Glad you liked them. (to Professor Genius) That will be all, Professor.
Professor Genius: (nods) Oh, well then. I'll just leave you here.
He then left as to the door as Virgil spoke up.
Virgil: Perhaps I should go with you and discuss business about my friend.
Mighty Max: Yeah, I think I'd go too.
Norman: Anyone who wants to stay can do so.
Virgil, Mighty Max, Norman, Geek, Protoman, and the Bonnes with the Servebots left with Professor Genius leaving Nemo and the rest with the princess.
Professor Genius: (chuckles) Have nothing, but fun. Good day, everyone!
Fuzzy: (confused) I thought it was nighttime!
Axel: Me too.
Bull Gator: Focus, you two, focus.
He then left while Nemo and his two friends bowed to Camille. Camille then looked at Nemo and the rest, then sighed.
Maximus: Okay, what?
Camille: Oh, nothing really. (looks at Rini and Nemo) It's just that no one has ever accepted the royal invitation in his or her underwear.
Nemo and Rini looked shocked as the two looked at the pajamas still worn.
Rini: (frowns) Underwear?!
Nemo: (anger marks) This isn't underwear! These are our pajamas!
Sonic: And most of us are still dressed.
Camille: And I believe the invitation was for this boy and these two girls alone, and not for a Deli-Bob Head, a Freak Girl, a robot, some mutts, and a few rats.
Fuzzy and Julayla: (anger marks) Don't called me a Deli-Bob Head/Freak Girl!
Grievous: Robot?! I am a cyborg!!!
Mittens: For a princess, you sure don't have matters.
Ling Ling: (anger mark) NANI!?
Weasels: HOW DARE YOU!
Brandy, Sheriff, & Sleet: WHAT!?
Hotaru: Hey, don't make fun of them!
Nemo: And Icarus is not a rat, he's a squirrel!
Icarus chirped in agreement.
Grim: Besides, we're pretty much as invited as they are.
Hotaru: That's right, especially if they are the dream personas of their former selves.
Camille: Who?
June: Oh, just some guys who attack us every once in a while.
Mr. Messy: I bet it has something to do with that machine Mr. Scatterbrain found.
Mr. Scatterbrain: Ha-ha. Where is my head?
Danny: Leave it to someone who can get everything mixed up.
Nemo then walked up to Camille, causing her to back away.
Nemo: So what if none of us were dressed like royalty, save for a few people, so what?
Rini: You invited the three of us in the middle of the night, and on such short notice, and princess or not, we won't stand to be treated like this!!
Hotaru: And if you make fun of my friends and my new family, well, I'm leaving!
Camille then cracked a smile, chuckling to the confused three.
Nemo: Oh, now what?
Camille: You know, you are kinda cute.
Nemo: Well, I get that alot.
Camille: And you are absolutely right, I did invite you...and I didn't say at a normal time. Besides...
He chuckled again as Nemo frowned.
Nemo: Now what?
Rini: And quit laughing, it's annoying.
Sora: Hoo boy.
The boy was turned to the backside from Camille as she spoke.
Camille: Your underwear is kinda cute.
Nemo: (angrily) Pajamas!
Camille: Whatever.
She then took Nemo as she began to drag him.
Camille: Come with me. I think I want to show you all of Slumberland.
Shadow: Ahem!
Camille: Oh, you can bring them and the rats too.
Icarus chirped in annoyance once more.
Ling Ling: BAKA!
Rhino: I find that insulting!
Remy: Yeah, and I bet you're not calling us by species either.
Rini: Hey, some of our friends are not rats, all right?
The others nodded as Camille sighed.
Camille: All right, I'm sorry. I apologize.
Sleet: Look, don't apologize to us, apologize to the others, especially the squirrel rat, Asian rat, and two Freelance rats. (realizes) Uh-oh.
Three: WHAT!?
Icarus scoffed as he jumps off Nemo's shoulder.
Yang: HA HA HA HA! You just call him a rat! Ha ha ha ha!
Yin only kicked his knees.
Yang: Ouch! My shins!
Master Yo: And I wonder why he's my son.
Sleet: Icarus, Nack, Psycho, Ling Ling, I didn't mean...
As Sleet tried to get to them, they evaded him, scampering away.
Nemo: Get back here, Icarus.
Billy: I smell a chase scene.
Irwin: Me too, yo.
The squirrel, weasels, and Ling Ling jumped through the heart strings, then climbed up a few layered fountain, having their backs turn from them.
Nemo: Hey, will you cut that out?
Sleet: Come on! I am sorry!
Icarus turned to Nemo and chirps angrily at him.
Psycho: Yeah, what he said!
Camille: And so am I!
June: I don't think they want to come down.
Grievous: You think!?
Mittens: We'll get him.
Quickly, Grievous, Mittens, Sleet, Miss Whoops, Digit, and Nemo climbed the fountain and got to the top. They tried to get them but the four kept jumping around.
Digit: Stupid sq...stand still!
They continued trying to catch Icarus until the four were about to jump off the edge when the others caught the weasels, creature, and squirrel.
Grievuos: Gotcha!
Just then, Miss Whoops tripped as it caused them all to fall.
Five: WHOA!!!
Miss Whoops: WHOOPS!!
The others ran as Cream shouted.
Cream: Guys!
Camille: Icarus!
The group bounced off a lower part of the fountain, then Icarus with the tohers landed in the others' arms.
Camille: Gotcha!
They then landed in a bush, with the girl sitting on top of the boy's back.
Camille: So, this is Icarus?
She picked him up as the others went to them.
Sonic: Yes! Reminds me of Ray back home.
Camille: Its absolutely adorable.
She nuzzled him before Icarus was kissed. Icarus groaned a bit, smiling as he fainted while the others just laughed.
Danny: This night got better and better.
June: Yeah.
Hotaru: I wonder if my other friends will join us, even if they are in the personas.
