Written by: CS-Masyet

Tal thought that Samaha was lying about the Flora Kingdom - until the evil killed his mother. Now Tal is going to Flora Kingdom to stop the evil once and for all! / After Tal gets ready, they head to the Flora Kingdom.

Tal: Samaha, I'm sorry...
Samaha: Huh? Sorry about what, mahn?
Tal: When you asked me to help Flora Kingdom yesterday, I didn't believe you and I yelled at you to go away... but you still came back for me when my mom died...
Samaha: Don't worry mahn, it not thaht easy to believe. *sigh* The Flora Kingdom used to be a wonderful place...
Tal: Used to be?
Samaha: Yahs, until the evil came...
Tal: Oh...
Samaha: I just hope the princess is all right, mahn. She got captured with everyone else, everyone thaht survived...

After a lot of walking, they finally make it... but to where?

Samaha: W-what?!?
Tal: Um, there's nothing here...
Samaha: The castle, it's gone!
Tal: There used to be a castle here? Was it destroyed?
Samaha: No, there is no remahins of the castle being bombed or anything. It must have been moved, mahn.
Tal: But to where...?
?1: Hey, over there! Survivors!
Tal: Huh? Who said that?
Samaha: Up there! They must be guards of the evil, mahn!

The two guards run down the cliff towards Tal and Samaha.

Guard 1: Get them!
Guard 2: I got the big guy. You take care of the kid, y'all!
Samaha: Chosen one, yah must defeat them, mahn!
Tal: What? How?
Samaha: With yah sweatah!
Tal: How's my sweatshirt going to help?
Samaha: Transform yahr sleeves! Think of somethin'! And quick, mahn!
Tal: (So if I think of something, that will transform from my sleeves? Okay, here goes...)

Tal's sleeves turn into a mallet and hit the guards.

Samaha: I would've gone with somethin' like a sword, but that works too, mahn.
Tal: (Wow, unbelievable!)
Guard 1: No way! T-that kid's the chosen one!
Guard 2: Let's get!

The guards start running away.

Samaha: Let's hurry and follah them. They might lead us to the castle, mahn!
Tal: Right!

They start following the guards - without letting them know - and soon enough, they are at the castle.

Tal: Wow, it wasn't that far...
Samaha: Now let's go find the princess, mahn.
Tal: How do you know the princess is here?
Samaha: I saw her get captured and locked away in the castle, mahn. I tried to save hah, but she told me to look fah the chosen one...
Tal: She was probably worried about you, Samaha.
Samaha: Yahs, she's a very kind person, mahn, always puttin' hah own safety after everyone else's...
Tal: ... By the way, how are we going to get in the castle? The door's closed...
Samaha: Hm... there must be a switch behind the dah, mahn. One of us could press the switch, then we cahn get in.
Tal: But that still doesn't explain... wait, I could turn my sleeves into wings, then-
Samaha: No, yah can only turn yah sleeves into mahnmade objects...
Tal: Then what can we do?
Samaha: If yah get high enough mahn, and turn them into a parachute, then yah cahn float ovah dah.
Tal: Good idea, but how can I get high enough from here?
Samaha: I'll take care of thaht, mahn! Throws Tal above the door.
Tal: Turns his sleeves into a parachute and floats over the door. Tal finds the switch and presses it so the door will open.
Samaha: Good job, mahn.
Tal: Okay, now let's go.
Tal/Samaha: Go inside and find a lot of people in jail cells.
Samaha: Those ah Flora Kingdom residents from the castle, mahn!
People: It's Samaha! We're saved! But whose that with him?
Samaha: Don't worry, I hahve brought the chosen one, mahn.
Tal: Is the princess here?
People: No, she's in another room. Please hurry up and free her, something might happen to her!
Tal: But what about you guys?
People: Forget about us, just free the princess!

Tal and Samaha go to the room the people said she is in.

Tal: Wow... the Flora Kingdom residents really hold the princess in high regard...
Samaha: Yah, it's her kindness to the people, mahn. She's willing to do ahnything for them, mahn...

Tal and Samaha make it to the back of the room, which is just a hall-shaped area with a single jail cell at the back. Two guards are standing in front of it, two very familiar guards...

Samaha: The princess must be in that jail cell, mahn!
Tal: Hey, those guards look familiar...
Guard 1: Oh no, not them again!
Guard 2: You're darn tootin'!
Guard 1: Stop talking like that!
Guard 2: Stop talking like what, y'all?
Guard 1: Never mind, just attack! One of them may be the chosen, but we still have to stop them from saving their princess!
Guard 2: Yeah, and if we beat the chosen we might get a raise!
Tal: Take this! Transforms his sleeves into a mallet and hits them in the head with it; knocking them out. Well, that was easy...
?2: You came back, Samaha! And with the chosen too!
Samaha: Princess, yah're safe! Thank goodness, mahn! Opens the cell door so the princess can come out.
Tal: Wait, s-she's the princess? (She's cute...)
Samaha: That's right, mahn.
Tal: She's a lot younger than I thought she'd be. In fact, she looks around my age...
?2: Gets out of the cell. I'm so happy you're okay, Samaha! I thought the guards might of hurt you on the way here; I was really worried...
Tal: ...
?2: Oh, I'm sorry; I haven't introduced myself to you yet! I'm Lotus, princess of the Flora Kingdom. You must be the chosen.
Tal (blushing): H-hi...
Lotus: Wait, where are the others? Are they okay?
Samaha: They're still in the jail cells, but they're doing fine, mahn.
Lotus: Oh, thank goodness...
Samaha: Speaking of which, we should get them out of hah and find somewhah to keep them safe, mahn.
Tal: Right.

So after freeing Princess Lotus and the Flora Kingdom residents, they head of to find somewhere safe from the evil...
