Wiping his tears after what had just happened to Arrow, Groose braced for combat once again when the ashes of their defeated foes reformed into something large but… strangely shifted in color.
“Hark! What new trickery is this?” He asked, levelling his standard issue Skyloft Knight-in-Training Sword at the floating crystal, which of all things, giggled like a fair maiden.

“A fair maiden trapped in amber?” Groose deduced as sharply as ever. “Is this that hot sister of yours?” He asked Bowser Jr. “Have no fear Princess The Dreamer’s Nightmare! For I, Noble Sir Groose of Skyloft shall free you from your mineral prison!” He announced as he wound back to strike the stone with his sword.
Before he could, however, he was blinded by teleporting light and missed completely.

“Where are we? Who are you? What’s happening here?” A confused and distressed Groose asked in unison with Jr.

Given Dreamer's Nightmare and her insight into the nature of Scarecrow attacks, the party is now immune to Scarecrow's stun for the next battle!

As the geode floated about and spoke, DN would begin whipping up small grains of green around, sending them into a large portal, casting it upward and trying to form some sort of gateway for the four to join in. Seemed she really wanted to keep them going on this quest. Perhaps... Nope. She seemed to be creating an object of some sort, or conjuring something into this reality. DN only hoped she could help them out.

_PLijdB2p_1d6(Stew! The party gains a temporary 50 Max damage threshold buff for the next fight! You can get hit for 50 more damage before falling!)

A huge pot of stew would suddenly conjure itself right in the center of everything! It smelled fresh, and looked tasty, regardless of what the preferences to food were to these four. Perhaps a bit of their timelines crossing causing some serious mixing of memory. It was clearly something she'd created, DN, but at the same time, it was obvious that the group would likely not remember her ever being able to do this at all. Whether they remembered or not upon drawing closer, it was clear they were almost drawn into consuming the savory, home-made food.

Clink! Clink tink tink clink shiiink! (Yes! This is just what I wanted to make! This is my famous stew I could make when I still had hands. I'm borrowing it from another timeline.) Tink shink shrink tink tink clink! (I know you're gonna love it Groose. Your other timelines liked it. I can't wait to get out of this stupid rock and pay you back for being so brave, and being such a sweetheart, you.) Tink..! Clink clink. (...and Arrow! Arrow's such a nice guy, too! I'll make sure I thank you both especially.)

With that out of the way, the next gate opened... The team would need to finish their meal, and head out. No telling what could lie beyond the shifting portal...1d6

Jr's face remained blank as the Dreamer's Nightmare recounted memories with someone he had never met. This was getting more confusing by the second, and by the looks of things, it wasn't going to clear up very soon. Krystal on the other hand was looking back and forth between the Dreamer's Nightmare and Groose, first with interest, then amusement. 

"Groose?" Krystal asked with a smile playing on her face. She looked at Groose as if he knew more then she did. "Wh-when were you going to tell us about-?"

"Dude, are you dating a rock?" Jr interrupted "Pfff-" Jr almost fell back off the rock he was sitting on, overcome with a fit of giggles."Heeheeheehehee! That's got to be the most pathetic thing I've ever heard!"

"Jr!" Krystal reprimanded. She looked toward Groose and DN and smiled apologetically, almost as if she was taking responsibility for what Jr. said. 

Jr was about to answer when a bright light cut through his words. In a flash, a large pot of stew appeared in front of the group. Jr looked into the pot, and his belly started growling. It hadn't occurred to him how long it had been since he last ate. He eagerly scooped himself a bowl and tried some, and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. It was almost nostalgic, even though Jr was sure that he had never had anything like this before. Tired of trying to figure all these timeline shenanigans out, the chubby young Koopa decided to keep eating his stew.

Krystal, upon the appearance of the stew, scooped herself a bowl, as well as one for Arrow. The poor fox still looked a little shaken from the attack from the Scarecrow, so Krystal thought spending some time with him would be a good idea. "Hey" Krystal said, sitting down next to Arrow. "Glad to see you've bounced back from that attack." Arrow's ever infectious smile slowly crept up her own muzzle as she looked at the younger fox. "You didn't have to thank me for helping out though. Anyone would have done the same" Deciding not to say anything else, Krystal just sat in silence, enjoying everyone else's company.

A few minutes later, once everyone had finished eating (Jr wanted to go for seconds, but Krystal told him they didn't have enough time), another portal opened up for them. Faced with the unknown once again, both Krystal and Jr had no choice but to walk through it.

"Groose? Well uh, that's something, isn't it? I'm pretty surprised, but no matter! I know you are the capable, successful knight that helps others! Like, its all in your name!" Arrow managed a pretty good effort in terms of stifling his laugh, of course that normal smile of his was hiding a soft bit of a chuckle in there. The fox's tails swayed as he looked to the now, for him, iconic red haired knight-in-training. Trying to bolster his friend's state of being while he himself enjoyed the small innocent laugh within. Well dating a rock or something like that? It was kind of cute in its own real way. He'd been one to find closeness to any inanimate object something great that could happen. Kind of like how he was attached to the things he sewed at home, right? An innocent thought backing his focus at the moment.

"They will mess with my head..? Goodness, I should have guessed, heh! I can hardly imagine that I was beaten by such a tactic. Then again, I've never been that great with mind things. I have such wonderful friends though, surrounded by them and that helps! Thank you also, uh not sure of your name there." the fox said as he responded to the voice that he heard speak. He needed to try and outmatch the scarecrows if they played this mental games. Of course they held a strong impact on the mind, as though he was once more sound of mind, it left him a little shaken. Still as Krystal chose to stay by, he couldn't help but feel a raise in his personal morale, perhaps it was the shoulder to lean on? His mind was sent straight to the thought of food as the large pot of stew appeared in front of him. He drew perked up and stretched his arms high overhead. Yawning a moment as if he was getting up from a nap.


"Wow...didn't know how hungry I was, I mean until after. And there's nothing better than eating a meal with friends!" As if he were completely untouchable by lousy mind tricks, his tails swished around and the fox went for a healthy portion. Standing tall and eating his meal quickly, without being too messy, taking his chance to savor the delicious taste of the meal at hand while speaking on it. "Wow, thank you! I mean this is great, you are an excellent cook! Or whomever made it sure is, my compliments to the preparer!" he'd still had that bowl in hand until the sight of the swirling portal caught his attention. The fox gave a prompt nod as he set the bowl down by the pot and stretched out, wiggling his tails and limbs, it was a small stretch before he showed how ready he was to go. "Alright! I'm ready to go, after a little prep, recovery, and food? I'm restored completely. Allow me to show my thanks with a hopefully, good performance through our next actions!" it was a promise to do his best, of course only the time would tell as to whether not he was able to deliver. He stood by the portal, standing near Jr., Krystal, and Groose as he imagined all were ready to go! He stood ready to pass through that portal, following his friends through to the next zone.

Groose nearly dropped the sword he was carrying, potentially severing his foot in the process, but sheathed it instead. As much as Dreamer’s Nightmare tinked and chinked, He didn’t feel like his questions were being answered.
That didn’t matter for much longer though, his stomach’s prayers were soon to be answered instead.
Groose wrestled to unsheathe his sword again when DN began creating an object of some sort. He’d only succeeded at undoing his belt when a huge pot of stew was conjured in the middle of the group.

For once, Groose was pleasantly surprised by this weirdness. Fresh stew out of nowhere like this? Talk about convenient! It smelled as good as Pumm’s homemade pumpkin soup if not better. Could Kina be the one trapped in the rock? Nah she’d never call Groose a brave sweetheart-Wait she called him a What?

“Duh…huh?” A suddenly speechless Groose did a double take that caused both his jaw…and his pants to drop. Did she really just call him a brave sweetheart? He was not at all used to hearing that…while he was awake, anyway. In such case, it’s usually a ravenous swarm of swooning girls, not just one trapped in a rock. Then again, being on an adventure with two foxes and a copper trooper prince, who’s to say this wasn’t a dream too? Well, his thighs were nice and exposed for easy pinching to test it out.

“I-I mean I s-s-I-suppose…” Groose stuttered and stammered as he scrambled to pull his pants back up and redo his belt.
“But of course! And needn’t you worry, fair The Dreamer’s Nightmare, for your wait shall be as short as my sword is long!” As if pulling his composure back up and fastening it with a belt of self esteem, Groose puffed his chest back out and resumed his heroic theatrics. “For I, Noble Sir Groose of Skyloft shant rest until you are freed from thy stupid rock!” He heroically proclaimed, unsheathing his sword and pointing it skyward. “Till then, a bowl of your stew shall suffice as payment.”

Groose’s high of heroism was cut short by Bowser Jr. and Krystal cutting him back down to size.
“Hey! Lay off of her or I’ll flatten you!” Groose turned his sword onto Jr. …and there went his pants again. “I-It’s not Her fault she’s been imprisoned inside a rock!” He pouted as he fumbled to pull his pants and dignity back up a second time. “You’re just jealous because she recognizes what a brave, stalwart, studly, hunky sweetheart I am!” He punctuated his comeback by fixing his belt again. “I don’t see Your girlfriend conjuring stew for us!” He defensively scooped himself an extra full bowl that was even spilling over. “Which smells delicious by the way because it was made with love; Her love for me! When’s the last time you had something that was made with love instead of fryer oil?” He quipped with a raspberry before taking himself a greedy spoonful. The look on his face said he wasn’t wrong. “And it tastes better than it smells!” He proudly chugged his bowl before scooping himself another, visibly satisfied with his alleged girlfriend’s cooking. “Mmm babe, this is really good!”

Unlike his other companions, Arrow’s words actually contributed to the stew’s efforts to improve Groose’s mood. It wasn't so much he understood everything he said than him liking the way he said it.
“Thanks Arrow, good to see Someone around here gets it~!” He smiled exclusively at the fox and the rock as he wiped his face and flicked the excess broth at Bowser Jr. and Krystal.
With his six pack full of stew and a newfound sense of determination, not just to free Dreamer’s Nightmare from her prison but to rub Bowser Jr. and Krystal’s noses in it when he does, Groose felt more than ready to face whatever chumps awaited beyond the shifting portal.

As the two passed through the gates and into the next zone, the world shfited and plummeted, spiraling around them into a floating arena with a spiraling black backdrop. For now, the resistances to the Scarecrow attacks were levied, given the fact this... new arena wasn't home to anything that would dare call itself a normal farmstead enemy. That's when it appeared from the far reaches of the void. This thing was... horrifying. Beyond description. The Thing From The Stars was here, and it seemed the team had gotten the jump on it! It didn't... initially look ready to fight. While it shifted and stood eerily, the nine foot tall beast that it was, one face in particular seemed to unsettle it, as it seemed to unsettle the average Joe.

Arrow.

"You... return to... this plaaace... TO DIIIEEE!" It screeched with its wheezing tone, pointing its crystalline blade right at the floof, before dragging its blade across the ground, driving it upward with murderous intent. The screaming of the body-mounted weapon held the souls of a thousand victims, likely more if Arrow wasn't careful!

p_1d15(Shard Blade @ Arrow! If it hits, deals 30% damage and inflicts Knocked Down, preventing Melee attacks next turn.)

It wasn't done yet, slamming its feet into the ground, and letting many shards around it spring out at everyone's throats! The crystals were fast, but uncoordinated.

p_1d10(Bloodthirsty Shards @ Everyone. If hits, deals 10% damage.)

Finally, to finish, it came bumbling over, letting its jaw hang as wide as the head of a Mobian to fire off a massive shard right at Krystal! The massive blue shard smelled of a potent poison, likely to dull the senses of its prey for absorption later.

[Arrow Rinehart]

Stunned by the creature's initial showing, the fox's body moved based upon instincts, moments well trained into him through drills on sudden attacks. The vulpine attempted to respond to the very haste of the creature and the horrifying voice that it utilized when speaking. He'd had no idea just how afraid he was of such things until being stunned earlier this time, and this very brute's tactics might prove successful if he did not act fast enough!

E3y5u5ZAp_1d20+1: Roll to dodge the Shard Blade

p_1d20+1: Roll to dodge Bloodthirsty Shards

Responding in a masterful fashion, Arrow's body glided backwards on autonomic response to the dragging crystalline blade's sounds. Managing to dodge the blade without difficulty, the fox's eyes burned with determination as he turned on the new opponent and drew both Tonfas down at once.  Though his over eager degree almost caught him off guard, as the fox threw his head backwards and narrowly avoided the whipping shards that nearly planted themselves within his body. It had been close enough to whiz overhead and narrowly glance over his fur without actually damaging his flesh just yet. With the edge on his side after dodging, the fox used his proximity to assault the brute that dared to strike at their traveling group! He was nothing but focused now, on the aims to strike the brutish creature at this close range. Without waiting too long to strike, with the fox's body gaining a green glow to them as he lashed forward out in a tonfa strike at this range. 

---

p_1d20+1: Roll for Muaji Tonfa Strike [DMG 17% if it hits]

"Hiyah!!" the first strike came in a side swiping attack with his tonfa pair at an adjacent angle, as he was unsure of the creature's maneuverability, the fox hoped to take advantage of its great size and he hoped to slam the weaponry home on the strike. The opening blow had been performed with some degree of coherence in his action and the aim just might find their target!


p_1d20+1: Roll for second attack: Tail sweep [DMG 18%, if it hits] 

Upon using his body's orientation and posture, the fox planted both feet down and whipped around in a wide, but fast circular strike at this range. Hoping that his tails would find their blows landing. He utilized all five and had balled up their tips into fist-like forms in order to complete the bashing style martial arts strike with his attack. It was during this aim that his tonfas were brought down to his side, as he intended to keep his attacking fluid and forceful. He tried to take his offensive onslaught count before he either was hit in turn or had to retreat. 

p_1d20+1: Roll for third attack, Muaji Tonfa Strike
[DMG 17%, if it hits]


The third and final strike itself was performed with more haste than the first two, in an upward strike that held more flair and force behind its blow, he tried to make it count at this range since odds like this almost never happened! He couldn't see all that clearly as the movement was that of a blur, it was a gamble to trade speed for accuracy and it left him uncertain if it would even land. 1d20+1·1d20+1·1d20+1·1d20+1·1d20+1

[heirtothemonado]

Exiting from the portal, Jr and Krystal found themselves somewhere with incredibly bizarre lighting. Almost as if they had stepped into the void itself. And standing in front of them was....

"What the heck is that?!" asked a frightened Jr This was beyond anything he had ever seen before, and he'd been to space more then once! He looked to Krystal for some sort of comfort, but she had the same look of slightly frightened confusion on her face that he did.

The....thing that was standing before them look like an even more grotesque version of what they had been facing so far. It's slow, gravelly voice echoed out, calling them. Neither Jr nor Krystal really understood what he was saying, but it was clear they needed to defeat this monster to pass. 


g1zlB5wJp_1d20+1 (Jr's dodge of the Bloodthirsty Shards)

Jr ducked into his shell as the crystal shards clattered against it uselessly. Meanwhile, Krystal quickly spun her staff around to deflect them all away. But she wasn't finished yet. A massive crystal rocketed toward her, coated in something that smelled terrible.

p_1d20+1 (Krystal's dodge of Innuring Shard)

Luckily, she jumped out of the way, and not wasting a second, started blasting the Thing with a blast of fire

p_1d20+2 (Krystal's Fire Blaster. DMG 12%, 30% chance to burn)

Jr meanwhile, pulled himself out of his shell and looked around at Krystal. Well, fire seemed like a safe bet, he thought. Facing the Thing again, Jr, fired a few fireballs at the it as well

Groose charged into the portal, blind with courage and preparation for anything and everything that could come his way…except the whole room spiraling like a new Final Destination background.
He skid to a stop just short of the ledge and stepped backward with a shriek when the Thing From the Stars made it seen.

“That…is the Second most ugly thing from another world I’ve ever seen.” Groose panted as his crew came up behind him. “Somebody put it out of its misery!” He had to hide behind his shield quick or it’d put him out of his misery.

(Wg|YB346p_1d20+1 Groose's dodge of Bloodthirsty Shards.)

Thinking what a Skyloft Knight would do, let alone what Link would do, he volunteered to put it out of its misery himself, engaging it in combat.
…First things first, why start a fight by getting close to the thing? So Groose opted to start instead by throwing a Bomb Flower at it

((THRESHOLD DISCOVERED! THE THING WILL NOT DODGE SHINING OR BRIGHT ATTACKS!))

The attacks came in at a blur, shining, brilliant beauties that the Thing wanted to absorb, and add to itself... Shiny... So shiny. The distraction caused all of the attacks that turn to land, and in order...

The tail sweep and two tonfa attacks from Arrow had landed; with profound success at that. The two blows to its chest shattered the ribs, before they jetted back out, growing with full length. As the Thing tried to rise again, Krystal and Jr's attacks came in. The shining breath and fireballs... They were... brilliant. As it staggered upward, slowly at that, and literally eating the bomb thrown at it, to feel its stomach contents explode, spilling glowing, shining shards onto the field, perfect for stealing once it was gone. The creature roared angrily after it was overwhelmed by those myriads of attacks. After those last two slashes, the thing began to grotesquely mutate... it's blade was still as huge as ever, but more muscle had transferred into its arm..!

Not only that, but those shards leaped onto Groose's blade! The eerie glow caused the blade to be a little heavier, but those glowing shards were definitely going to give Groose's blade some bite!

(Groose! The Thing has copied your attack and bastardized it with its own crystalline force! Grooseward Sword is now Grooseward Gem! Roll mod has been reduced by 1, but Groose now deals 1.5x Damage [23%] for the remainder of the mission in the Comet area!)

The creature was angered, furious even. As it charged back at Groose this time to swing its mighty sword down overhead.

"W-Whoa!" the sound of his surprise was a fitting response as he staggered backwards into something of a clumsy attempt to dodge. Normally he was graceful, but he'd just come from a fairly successful attack and was not quite exact in his dodging attempt. He hoped that he'd recover in mid motion while falling backwards.

---

Roll for Dodging Bloodthirsty Shards: mAovukv1p_1d20+1

As the young tod's body responded in perfect order to the attack, he executed a perfect back handspring and avoided the shards as they flew at him flawlessly. In an almost casual recovery from the attack, after a successful three back flips, he'd rose quickly and turned on the beast in an angry glare. He'd intended to pay his foe back in full! The fox's narrowed blue eyed gaze shimmered as he gathered the first and often direct response to a distance attack: responding with one of his own.

Whilst looking upon the beast's missed attack upon him, the fox's tails immediately lit up with the response he'd started preparing, having nothing less than this means of retaliation. The vengeful fox sent a violent emblazoned set of flames holding the pattern of a large set of tail tips at the monster. With the aim simple enough in its shape, he imagined striking true with this blow, but could not profess that to be a certain outcome. to be a hit, of course he tried for it either way.  "Yah!!" a little cry of ferocity to show some of his resolve, he hoped to land a true blow.

"Expende!" the word spoken in kitun, for a moment the foxfire let off a violent flare and expanded in size slightly. Though more to ensure that the attack hit the foe face on, he felt confident with its increased size that the it was going to give the beast a shock of pain. He gripped his tonfas firmly, having taken them back off of his belt after the actions prior had been taken.

---

Though a little too hasty, he had not paid as much attention to dodging as he hoped! Eyeing the shards, he'd moved to avoid the strike, at least making the attempt to do so in the moment. 


Roll to dodge Hunger Pangs: p_1d20+1

Though he was caught unaware, honed instincts led him into a brilliant body twist, used to rapidly avoid the shards as they flew from the creature. That second attack was more devious than he expected! But he was still prepared and managed to avoid being hit by of the shards. They were no match for his instincts today it seemed!

Jr and Krystal watched as their attacks connected solidly, the Thing not even trying to get out of the way. "Is it....attracted to fire?" Krystal thought to herself. Before she could dedicate any more time to this thought, a wave of shards flew toward her and Jr. Thinking quickly, Krystal threw up her Reflector while Jr ducked for cover.

The creature cried out in a horrific defeat, the final blows from Groose's slingshot peppering its now shattering body, the crystalline bulk falling dead on the ground. Its blood pooled about it, the room returning to... somewhat normal lighting. It appears the gang was just short of the Mill now. The creature's blue ichor seeped up and lurched out as if to attack the party, but just before it made contact with any of them, a blinding flash of blue haze carried them away from the area. It was as though they were seeing a glimpse of the future, or perhaps... the past.

(SPLENDOROUS LIGHT!)

In a strange, shifting madness, it was as though the team watched themselves fight a wave of foes without even fighting, outside of their bodies, working in perfect harmony in a twisted fraction of reality. But... That passes all too quickly to commit to hard memory, before long, the team is reunited with solid ground, and an eerily silent safe haven before the big fight ahead. The Miller's cries in the background howl chillingly. Before the party now sits four identical items, each one a reward for defeating the Thing, clearly. The Dreamer's Nightmare left them each a note, exactly the same, aside from the name...

'To My Dearest Friends,

I cannot make it any further, the Miller nearly killed me. To thank you for defeating the Thing, here are some hard fought items. I wish you all good luck on the trial ahead. These objects may be used at any time, at any place, but the comet's glow empowers them. Use them well.'

Both Jr and Krystal breathed a sigh of relief as the Thing collapsed to the ground. Only to shield their eyes when the world around them exploded into a starburst of shining light. Before each of their eyes, they watched as images of fight that they didn't remember happening played out before them. All to quickly it came to an end, and they were in another clearing, this one strangely vacent.
