(Forestry mountain: past)
*Clara, Clare and the Babies arrive back in the other dimension. They find themselves surrounded by heavy forestry.
Clara: Whoa, where’d we end up this time?
Clare: This is a forest, so we would have to be on Forestry Mountain. Although, all the trees seem to be overgrown. Their roots have even burst out of the ground.
Clara: Maybe this is an older forest.
Clare: If it was, it wouldn’t be this out of control. The life tribe would maintain their growth.
Clara: Where is everyone then? (Some Shorpi saucers fly over head)
Clare: The Shorpi might’ve already abducted them. They might as well be the ones responsible for the forest’s condition. Let’s follow behind carefully. (Clara and the Babies nod)
*The quartet sneaks around the jungle like greenery while keeping an eye on the saucers above them, some Turtleons and Pak plants in the area shuffle into hiding. Lil Clara hears a faint “help… me…”
Lil Clara: hmm?
Clara: Something wrong?
Lil Clara: no no. (Now Clara hears the voice )
???: …l…ar…a
Clara: Anyone else hear that?
Clare: Hear what?
???: Mis…
Clara: That! (They put the babies down and they all listen around)
Clare: I still don’t hear anything.
Lil Clara: too quiet.
Lil Clare: ears go bad?
???: Cl…ra
Clara: There it is again! It sounds like it said my name! (They all look at a nearby tree) Did it come from the tree?
Clare: I doubt it did. (She looks closely) Only the life tribe could… (Suddenly a face morphs out of the tree’s trunk)
???: Miss Clara…
Clare: EEEKK!!! EVIL TREE SPIRIT!!! (She runs away with the babies)
???: Miss Clara…
Clara: Huh? You look sorta familiar? Where did I meet a tree spirt before?
Viola: It’s… me… Viola… I was… on the… Tardis… with… Queen Sariah.
Clara: EH?!? VIOLA!?! What happened?! Why’re you stuck in a tree?!
Viola: As… as soon as we arrived… in this dimension… we were… attacked. Some fierce…alien race… came…out of nowhere… (Viola remembers back to when they first arrived in this dimension.)
Sariah: Oh my goodness! What’s happened here? <Queen Sariah: First ruler of Eternia>
Barard: The damaged areas are still fresh, It would likely be from a recent assault on the palace. <Dark Elite: Barard>
Viola: EEEK! (She hides behind Sariah)
Sariah: Viola! Whatever is the matter? (She’s answered by the army of Shorpi)
Barard: A type of Humanoid fungi, they look hostile. (He and Sariah prepare to fight as the army clears a path for their leader)
Sariah: Halt! I am Sariah Heartfire! Queen of Eternia from another Dimension! Who are you?! (She gets no response, instead is attacked)
*Flashback end*
Clara: And? What happened next??? (Clare came back with both babies on her back)
Viola: Queen Sariah… protected me… but was…taken… by those Shorpi… things… And I was… captured by… the trees… of this forest…
Clare: Wait, if you’re trapped in this tree… does that mean… (Viola feels great pain)
Clara: Hey, What’s wrong?! What’s this tree doing to you?!?
Clare: AHH! OH MY HYLIA!!! ALL THESE TREES ARE FILLED WITH PEOPLE!!!
Lil Clara: scawy trees! (Lil Clare shivers with fear)
Clara: W-why would those Shorpi freaks do this to everyone???
Viola: These trees… they’re slowly but surly… siphoning away all our… life force… our energy… The pure energy… then flows through the… roots of the trees… deep, deep underground… It is gathered… at the Shorpi Ship Station… near the edge of… the forest.
Clare: That’s the direction we saw those Saucers fly off to. But what would they need life energy for?
Viola: Rumor has it… the Life force is… somehow changed in the… factory there. It’s mixed with… awful chemicals and… becomes the fuel for… the Shorpi’s flying… saucers…
Clara: So we just bust up the factory in the station and those freaks will eventually run out of gas!
Clare: That’s a good plan, but we can’t just leave everyone trapped to be drained away.
Viola: No… you must… leave me… Hasten to… the Shorpi Ship Station… It is all… that matters now… And somewhere… in that horrid place… is a… Core fragment… I just… Know it…
Clara: Really?! That’s another reason we need to go there!
Viola: The Core star… and Queen Sariah… (She can’t finish as Shorpi Saucers hover above and fire blasts at them)
Clare: Uwah!
Clara: Take Cover!!! (She distracts their attackers while Clare hides with the babies) Ha! Can’t catch me! Byeh! (The Shorbes give up and return to base) Everybody good?
Clare: We’re fine.
Lil Clara: good-good!
Lil Clare: twee friend? (Viola got hit by one of the beams)
Clara: Viola! NO! (Viola turns purple as the infection spreads)
Viola: The… Frag…ments. …gather… (Her voice trailed off)
Clara: She’s gone…
Clare: We must do as she said! Find that Station and shut down it’s factory
Clara: You’re right, let’s move! (The Babies climb aboard and the move out)
*The girls begin their mission to the Shorpi Ship Station. However, they have a difficult time navigating past all the thick tree trunks, nor can they see above them to follow the flying saucers.
Clara: Okay. Now this sucks! We aren’t getting any closer to the station!
Clare: Hmm… it could be risky, but I do have an idea. (She pulls out a bright orange flower)
Lil Clare: flower?
Clara: How’s a flower gonna help?
Clare: You’d be surprised. This is a very special type of flower, it was named after you Clara.
Clara: Ooo. What’s it do?
Clare: They can temporarily bestow fire powers to anyone. We can use them to clear a path through the trees. We must be careful not to… (Clara immediately uses the flower’s flames and gives the babies powers too)
Clara: Let’s light em up!!
Lil Clara: burn, BURN!!
Clare: … burn anyone!
Lil Clare: too hot. (Clara manages to make a small burnt clearing)
Clara: Hey, I can see a weird building up ahead. It worked!
Clare: Thanks to you completely ignoring my warning.
Clara: I didn’t kill anyone.
Clare: Lucky for you that those trees didn’t contain any other living creature, cause if there was they’d be burn to death. (She made Clara feel uneasy about her actions as they trek to the edge of the mountain)
Clara: There it is! The Shorpi Ship Station! (The Station is in the middle of a poisonous swamp. Several saucers fly above it)
Clare: It’s rather hazardous that they just attached it to the side of the mountain.
Lil Clara: make baddies go boom!
Clare: Not yet. We have to get inside first to find the Fragment.
Lil Clare: how?
Clare: I’m not sure. I don’t know how all this alien stuff works to be honest… Let’s just look around for some other way in for the time being. (Clara leads the team east of the station)
Clara: Uh oh. The path’s covered in spikes! Should we head back around, Sis?
Clare: No. I have a feeling we must go this way. (She spots a platform) We can use that remote platform to get across. (She uncovers the remote lever in the bushes) Drat, one of us is going to have to stay behind to control the platform.
Clara: Why not let the Babies do it?
Clare: Are you sure? We’re going to leave them behind this time.
Clara: Don’t worry about them, we can just call them back with a summoning block, K?
Clare: Ok fine. And I thought splitting up with you was bad enough. (She shows the babies how the lever works) You two understand?
Lil Clara: Kay kay!
Lil Clare: we help Biggies! (The Babies control the platform and get the Twins across the spiky path. Clara finds the nearest summoning block and bring the Babies back to them)
Lil Clara and Lil Clare: whee! (Clara and Clare catch them)
Clara: Thanks Babies. So what did your feeling find, Sis?
Clare: I guess that. (She points to the odd Shorbe statue)
Clara: That thing?
Clare: It looks to have some sort of button on the top, but we can’t reach it without a high jump.
Clara: Nope. We can reach it. (Clare doesn’t understand) Ready Lil me?
Lil Clara: hup, hup! (Clara jumps first and she jumps off of her and hits the button. A beam from the statue hits one half of the bridge leading to the station. Clara and Lil Clara land perfectly)
Clara: There. Y’see?
Clare: Clara. That was dangerous. What if you dropped her?
Clara: Don’t worry. I won’t.
Lil Clara: no hurt!
Clare: Oh for the love of Nayru! You can’t just keep tossing your younger self around like this! You have to be more responsible about taking care of her. (Lil Clare agrees)
Clara: So what did the button do anyway?
Clare: *Sigh* I would presume it opened the path to the Station. However, that seems too simple for Alien security. We should look around a bit more. (She brings the group further along the path and cross the next Spiked area and find another Shorbe Statue)
Clara: Look! It’s another one of those things. Guess you were right to keep looking Sis.
Clare: Excellent! Now help me figure out how to properly turn it on.
Clara: Why don’t you just throw you’re Lil self up there? Like we did.
Lil Clara: Clarey jump!
Clare: How could you even suggest such a thing?! I will not be risking the safety of my little one.
Clara: C’mon, we’re all supposed to be working together, right?
Clare: I, uh… Maybe your right… (She just doesn’t want to argue anymore) Okay we’ll try it! (Lil Clare’s still scared) Worry won’t be necessary! I will catch you!
Lil Clare: NOOO! (Clare jumps and throws her towards the button, she screams as she presses it. The statue sends out its beam and hits the other half of the bridge from the station. Clare catches Lil Clare in her arms)
Clare: That wasn’t so bad, was it?
Lil Clare: meanie.
Clare: I probably deserve that… let’s hope there’s a path to station now.
End of Part Seven
