Chapter 1: The Tale of Princess Sherbet

Planet Earth; about 5,000 years ago

"Big Brother... are we gonna be okay?" spoke the small, round girl in fear.

"Yes, Sherry. I promise the demons aren't gonna get us. We just have to be happy." replied the older boy, hugging her in comfort as a single candle provided them warmth and light. "Demons hate happiness."

"I don't think I can be happy, Brother."

"Just remember the Fairy Sisters, Sherry. If you keep smiling, the fairies will come to see us. They'll make everything better."

"The fairies are gonna come?"

"Yes, Sherry. We'll get to see the fairies and the mermaids and even the angels, too. And they'll make everything better."

After the Demon Wars have reached their climax, and King Malladus had been sealed beneath the earth again, the humans were suffering under the terror of Titans. These Titans looked like oversized, naked humans, and all they sought was to throw humans into their massive mouths. The blood of unfortunate morsels dripped from their mouths, yet it was never enough to fuel their lust. The merpeople, Nimbi, Minish, and Galactic Kids Next Doors were desperately trying to slay every Titan that shook the landscape.

"Dimentia, some of these Titans are children!" Numbuh Infinity told his Supreme Leader. "Should we really be hurting them?"

"Jirachi can't change them back with his magic. Whatever these demons did, it was too strong. Sorry, Jeremy, but we can't have another disease on our hands."

The truth was, all these horrid Titans were humans, captured and experimented on by the demons. While they didn't discriminate between kids and adults, they found that children made much more suitable subjects for the Gigantification disease. "Watch out!" Gabe yelled, seeing a smallish, round Titan with pink hair charging their way. "Here comes another one!"

"HUMAN FLEEEESH!" cried the round giant, capturing fleeing kids in her gawking mouth like Pac-Man eating ghosts. "HUMAN FLEEEEESH!"

"Hey, since we're aliens, you think she'll ignore us?" Gabe asked.

"Just kill her, you idiot!" Dimentia shouted.

"NO, DON'T!" A 10-year-old boy with light-brown hair ran up to the Titan.

"Where are you going, Carl?!" Dimentia yelled.

"SHERRY!" Carl yelled at the Titan, stopping once he was close. "It's me, Sherry! It's your brother, Carl!"

"Huuuumaaaaan..."

"He's going to get killed!" Dimentia grit her teeth.

"No, she won't! I-I know you won't, Sherry..." Carl slowly approached the beast. "Not if you want to see the Fairy Sisters. They're here, Sherry. The Fairy Sisters came here to help us. They destroyed all those nasty demons."

"Fleeeeeeessssshhhh..." Her mouth was drooling and eyes watering. Another tasty morsel was willingly within her radius.

"You remember, Sherry... I always hugged you close... and read you that story... I read you a bunch of stories... of the angels, the mermaids, and the little people... and now they're all here... Our dreams are coming true..."
