House of Baloo 2, 3

13.

Zephyr and the others come out of the yellow door.

"That was...a little weird for a while, but we seem to have gotten through it OK."

"I'm so sorry... It was all my fault... And... Then... You all... Thank you so much.." Tippi said.

"Oh ho! Welcome back!" Merlon said.

"I have been waiting for you, young heroes! Did you succeed in your search for the next Pure Crystal?"

"I guess we did..." Tippi said.

"Yeah, the Pure Crystal appeared out of Tippi."

"Intriguing... So then... When you saved Tippi, the next Pure Crystal just appeared? Mmm... How very interesting... I think that castle was once a dwelling of the Ancients I told you of earlier. It seems that my ancestors have roamed far and wide in their dimensional travels. "In the castle beyond the great sea, we hid a Pure Crystal and sealed it safely.." Yes, I remember reading such a passage in the Light Prophecy. The seal could only have been broken by a powerful pulse of love and trust.."

"So... you think it was because Tippi began to trust us that we found this Pure Crystal? That's amazing.."

"And now there are three heroes! Ho ho! I don't know who the last one is, but waste no time in searching, my friends!"

"Oh, please! Come on, people! With me here, you don't need anybody else, seriously! Trust me, any problem comes up, I'll easily deal with it! Neon will do it!" Neon said.

"Oh ho! Well met, Mr. Neon! May your strength protect this grou-"

"..."

The area rumbles..

"Oh ho... It seems The Void has expanded once more... Time is short!"

"We have to keep going... We must start looking for the next Crystal Pillar." Tippi said.

"There are matters I must attend to as well... I must search for any item of significance in the Light Prophecy." Merlon said.

He walks off. X and the others go and search for the next Crystal Pillar, and after solving a ground-pounding puzzle, they find it. Once the Pure Crystal is inserted into it, a green door appears at the tower of Eerie. They go to it and enter it.

Through the fierce battle against Francis, Tippi and the team grew closer. Behind a fourth for lay a whole new world that beckoned to them both. What awaited was vaster and stranger than anything they'd encountered so far... In order to claim the Pure Crystal, they would have to endure new, far-out trials.

Outer Space

The door opens and everyone appear in space.

"Mmm, stars everywhere... I believe we're in outer space, almost certainly..." Tippi said.

"..."

"What troubles you, Zephyr?"

"I think they need oxygen, I can breathe in space with my lingering prophecy power."

"Oh... Oh, gracious me... What am I to do? Um... Well... Let me see...

Um...

Hrm.

Urm.

Hm...

Then...

Well..

Well.

But..

So..

NOOOOO!"
