Heart of Dreams

Chapter 14

After awhile, our heroes had finally managed to get to the top, where Bowser was with Antasma and some of Bowser's minions.

Antasma commented, "At last... SCREEP! I vill use the Dream Stone to realize my dreams... SCREEK! But first... SCREENK! SCREET! SCREE-EE-EF!"

Just like that, Antasma changed out of his bat form and into his regular form.

Bowser huffed, "Whoa! Buddy, what happened to you?! Is that what you normally look like?!"

Antasma stated, "Yes... Now that I am back in this vorld... I can return to my true form... SCREECH!"

Bowser replied, "Heh! Not too bad! You look pretty evil!"

Antasma responded, "Bowser... All that has come to pass is due to our meeting... SCREEP! Und vee even got the Dream Stone in our claws! SCREEEKEEEE! Vee should use the Dream Stone...right NOW! SCREEPEE!"

Bowser questioned, "Okay, how do we do that?"

Antasma explained, "SCREEF! Vee must gather some energy for it first... Vith collected energy, it vill grant us anything vee vant!"

Bowser stated, "Anything I want, huh? I can get behind that! What's on your wish list? Losing that screechy tic?"

Antasma replied, "SCREECH! I vish... TO CONQUER THE WORLD!"

Bowser huffed, "Hold up. What? Buddy, you better wish again! I already claimed the world!"

Antasma replied, "SCREEP! Perhaps I misspoke... I vill give you the vorld. All I vish for is the freedom to spread my vings. I vish to do anything I want. Und then, I vill be happy."

Bowser responded, "Hmm...okay by me. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! So we're square! Let's do it! We'll take over the world together!"

Kamek spoke, "Your Dreaminess! We stand ready to make that wish come true, sire."

Bowser started to say, "Good. In that case, let's get a mo..."

"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!"

The evil team looked up and saw that Mario, Luigi, and Violet had arrived. With them were Starlow and Prince Dreambert.

Bowser questioned, "Mario! Violet! And the green stache! How'd you know we were here?!"

Violet answered, "We're not going to tell you anything!"

Luigi stammered, "Y - yeah and my name is Luigi!"

Mario stated, "You better give us the Dream Stone right now!"

Starlow added, "Yeah, it doesn't take a genius to anticipate your moves!"

Prince Dreambert replied, "Antasma! It is an age since we faced off! I know not how you contrived to come back to this world... But you will not stay long! I will return you to the Dream World!"

Antasma responded, "SCREEEEMBERT! You! Meddling vith me again... Vee haff no time to play vith these creatures... Vee must collect energy for the Dream Stone..."

The Goomba called, "Hey Mario! Luigi! Violet! Listen to THIS!"

At that moment, the Goomba turned on the speakers that were with them.

Antasma commented, "All...things... MUST SLEEP!"

Starlow asked, as the group backed up from the music, "What... What's that?! What's that music?!"

Prince Dreambert breathed, "Could those be... the Dreambeats?"

Violet questioned, "Dreambeats?"
