Heart of Dreams

Chapter 10

After learning that they had to find more Doznite; Mario, Luigi, and Violet got to work. Starlow and Prince Dreambert watched over, since they weren't that strong. Violet wiped her brow, cooling herself down with her ice powers. She did the same for the Manfredi twins, who both smiled at her.

Mario looked at a machine in the distance and commented, "Be better if we could use that machine."

Prince Dreambert pointed out, "Probably would have to ask if you can use it."

Starlow asked, "Do we have time for that?"

Luigi answered, "Either way, Malleo and I better handle it."

Violet questioned, jokingly, "Why? Are you afraid a girl can't handle that machine? Who beat Chauncey again? Oh yeah, me!"

The red clad plumber busted up laughing at the green clad ghost hunter's face at that moment. When Luigi realized that Violet was only joking, he calmed down and hugged her gently. Violet returned it, smiling. She knew exactly how to make Luigi feel better. As Mario and Luigi managed the machinery; Violet, Starlow, and Princebert followed on foot. (Even though Starlow and Prince Dreambert floated.) Anyways, after learning how to use the Drilldigger, Mario and Luigi went around and started to get rid of the rocks. Violet did the same, but on foot and with a pick axe and a hammer. However, when they found a Pi'illo and jumped into the Dream World, Britta started to freak out.

Britta yelled, "HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! GET BACK TO WORK!"

Dreamy Luigi greeted his brother and girlfriend in the dream world, "Hey guys! I've got a new thing for you to try! A drill feature!"

Mario and Violet perked up at this as Dreamy Luigi went into a drill. The two of them this to drill around the dream world, freeing another Pi'illo. After telling him that the Dream Stone was in danger, they received a Doznite from him. Continuing onwards, they freed the rest of the gatekeepers, getting all of the Doznite. However, they saw a monster named Torkscrew, who was actually took the last gatekeeper with the last Doznite. When they returned to where the Dream Stone was supposed to be, stairs instantly appeared, allowing them to into the temple. But when Britta went ahead, Torkscrew ate her.

Violet commented, "Aw man, that is not right..."

Mario groaned, "Now she's gonna smell like garlic!"

Luigi asked, "Do we have to save her?"

Starlow answered, "Sadly, yes."

Prince Dreambert stated, "Then let's go!"

Quickly going into battle, our heroes were battling with a good pace. Eventually, Torkscrew was defeated.

One of the workers yelled, "BOSS LADY!"

Another worker yelled, "BRITTA!"

Britta groaned, "Ugh... Why... Blinded by greed... There ain't even treasure here... I was a fool..."

A third worker stated, "No! Britta! Don't yap! Save your energy!"

Britta looked at them and said, "You guys... Thank you... Take over for me... Fire...everyone..."

With that, she passed out as the workers took her to the medical tent.

Violet stated, a bit embarrassed, "Good to know that she hasn't changed."

Prince Dreambert replied, "You must keep moving forward."

Starlow responded, "Right, we have to get to the Dream Stone!"

Luigi commented, "Lead the way, big bro."

Mario said, smiling, "Be glad to."

As they headed up ahead, they were unaware of what was to come. When they got to the temple, nothing was there.

Starlow commented, "Huh? What?! There's nothing here! What's going on?"

Suddenly, they heard a loud evil laugh. At that moment, Antasma and Bowser arrived.

Violet hissed, "You two?!"

Bowser huffed, "Too late, chumps!"

That's when the Koopa King showed them the Dream Stone.

Prince Dreambert stated, "No! That's...the Dream Stone!"

Luigi demanded, shaking, "G - give it back!"

Antasma looked at him and commented, "How odd vhat you are still alive. I vhought for sure vhat blow to your brave factor would kill you!"

Mario stood strong - shaking a little that Luigi was that close to death and replied, "You won't get away with this!"

Bowser said nothing as the two of them made their escape.

Starlow stated, "You gotta hand it to 'em - they know how to make an exit!"

Violet asked, "Now what do we do?!"

Luigi questioned, "Yeah, how do we stop them?!"

Prince Dreambert replied, "We must go after them."

Mario responded, "Hold it, we don't even know where they are going."

Just then, the temple they were standing on started to glow a rainbow color. Prince Dreambert realized that it was a Dreampoint, a place where dreamers could be one with their dreams. There were multiple Dreampoints scattered all over the island and sleeping on the Dreampoint could give them where the Dream Stone was. So, Luigi fell asleep on Prince Dreambert as Mario and Violet went into the Dream World. Meeting up with Dreamy Luigi, they quickly went through the Dream World.

Dreamy Luigi breathed, "I still can't believe that Bowser and Antasma beat us to the Dream Stone but I hope we can find what we need here..."

After chasing some rainbow spirit, defeating a Robo-Drilldigger with a giant Dreamy Luigi as Mario and Violet rode up on top of his hat, the heroes learned that they had to go to Mount Pajamaja.

Violet breathed, "Mount Pajamaja..."

Mario stated, "Alright, then that's where we go."

Dreamy Luigi replied, "I hope we can stop Bowser and Antasma before the worst happens."

As he said that, he grabbed his right side (which was hurting him pretty badly since he got hurt in the battle against the Robo-Drilldigger) and groaned in pain. He looked up at the others, praying that they hadn't noticed. Luckily for Dreamy Luigi, no one noticed.

Prince Dreambert replied, "We better get back to the real world and get moving."

Mario and Violet nodded in agreement as they headed back to the real world. Starlow was a little impatient as Prince Dreambert told her that Mount Pajamaja was behind Pi'illo Castle. As everyone was planning the walk back there, Luigi made a mental note to make sure that he sneak off to the medical tent before they left Dozing Sands.
