Heart of Dreams

Chapter 12

After defeating Big Massif's four friends, the tour guide started to laugh as everyone got into fighting positions. Turned out that the tour guide was Big Massif all long!

"We have no time for games! You must wake immediately," Prince Dreambert stated.

"Yeah, we have to climb Mount Pajamaja soon," Violet added.

"NYET," Big Massif replied.

"What does that mean, Malleo," Dreamy Luigi asked, looking at his older twin.

"I believe that means no, Weegie," Mario answered.

Big Massif explained, "In Dream World, I battle challengers of true beef... Is best way to pump up muscles and mind! Real world is weak! Big Massif stay here!"

Prince Dreambert sighed and responded, "Then so it must be! We will take your challenge!"

Violet commented, "Not like we have a choice."

Dreamy Luigi added, "It'll just be like old times."

Mario told Big Massif, "Bring it on!"

After showing his strength; Mario, Dreamy Luigi, and Violet did the same. Big Massif was very surprised that the three of them were that strong. However, when his four friends threw a rather large rock at him, it was unable to break it. He went underground and then came back up again, looking a bit roughed up. But when he said that it was planned, everyone didn't believe him - with good reason. Anyways, the battle started as Mario, Dreamy Luigi, and Violet fought against Big Massif. After awhile, Big Massif was defeated - though Dreamy Luigi took damage in the process.

One of Big Massif's friends commented, "They thrashed the master... Just who ARE these dudes and dudette?"

Another friend stated, "Let's bolt!"

With that, the four friends left. Big Massif looked at Mario, Dreamy Luigi, and Violet. Dreamy Luigi gripped his right arm (which he injured in the battle) as he stood next to Mario and Violet. Neither of them really noticed, since they were looking at Big Massif.

Big Massif panted, "I...I am loser? Is crazy... Little cutlets hide huge muscles..."

Prince Dreambert stated, "I hope you get it now. The real world boasts many champions as well!"

Violet added, "Like Mario and my boyfriend here."

Dreamy Luigi blushed as he whispered, "Hopefully fiancé soon..."

Mario looked at Big Massif and replied, "Look, we're glad that you realized that we're strong too and there are many others stronger than us that you should meet. And the only way to meet them is to come back to the real world with us."

Big Massif nodded as they all went back into the real world, where they belonged. Starlow happily greeted her friends back as Big Massif - who still felt bum about losing - agreed to take them all with his younger brother to Mount Pajamaja. Everyone cheered as Luigi kept his bleeding right arm hidden from them. 'No need to have them worry about me,' Luigi thought as he looked on, smiling at everyone. As they headed towards the Pi'illo Island castle, since Mount Pajamaja was behind the castle. As they stopped at the castle to stock up on supplies, Luigi patched himself up quickly.

...

Eventually, the group made it to Mount Pajamaja. Big and Little Massif lead the group up the mountain, showing off their strength. This time, Violet sidelined Luigi.

Luigi asked, "What's the matter, Vi?"

Violet answered, with a question of her own, "Better question Weegie, are you okay?"

"Yes, why," Luigi stated, pretending to blink in confusion.

It seemed to have worked since Violet replied, "Just making sure."

Luigi was about to ask her yet again about marrying him but a Pi'illo caught Mario's attention. The green clad ghost hunter sighed as they freed another Pi'illo and moved up the mountain more. Finally, after an hour, they finally made it to the top. There, waiting for them, were the Massif Bros. They taught them the Spin Jump, helping them along. However, they found giant Pi'illo's.

Mario commented, "This is strange."

Starlow added, "And where did those Meathead Bros. go?"

Prince Dreambert stated, "Don't know but these are Mega Pi'illo's."

Mario muttered, "They are mega alright..."

Starlow commented, "Then we go into the Dream World."

Prince Dreambert stated, "Right you are."

Within a matter of minutes, Mario and Violet were in the Dream World yet again with Dreamy Luigi. Dreamy Luigi showed them a new power, surprising everyone. Violet had to admit that Luigi and Dreamy Luigi were getting stronger with each passing into the Dream World. After freeing the one Pi'illo in the one giant pillow, he pointed out that the other Mega Pi'illo could help him open the heavy gate. Agreeing to set the other Mega Pi'illo free, the others headed off to the other side. After freeing several other Pi'illo's, the group had finally made it to where the Massif brothers were.

The two brothers actually jumped off the cliff. Mario seemed excited as Luigi seemed rather scared. Violet shrugged as they jumped together, following their tour guides. They eventually got to where the other Mega Pi'illo was and saved him. Mega Phil and Mega Lowe were happy as they broke the gate, allowing the heroes to continue through Mount Pajamaja. The Massif Bros. were extremely happy about this as they thought Mega Phil and Mega Lowe were Muscle Lords.

Violet commented, "This keeps on getting weirder and weirder."

Starlow added, "Agreed."

Prince Dreambert stated, "Whatever the case, we must keep moving."

Mario replied, "Right, let's follow Big and Little Massif."

Luigi responded, "Sounds like a good idea."

With that, the five friends followed Big and Little Massif into the deeper part of Mount Pajamaja.
