Chapter 12: A Serene Stroll into Slumber
Part 11
The heroes journeyed through World 3: Forest, surrounded by vibrant flowers, towering trees, and lush bushes. The air was crisp and clean, filled with the sweet scent of blooming wildflowers. As they walked, they easily defeated the occasional minions from the villain's armies, their movements fluid and effortless. The forest's tranquility was a welcome respite from the dangers they had faced so far. Super Mickey led the group, his eyes scanning their surroundings for any signs of trouble. Wonder Minnie walked beside him, her hand in his, while Upsy Daisy and Super Sailor Chibi Moon chatted excitedly about the beautiful scenery. Suddenly, a peculiar creature appeared before them. It had a tuft of fur on its head, a balloon-shaped body, cat ears, and pink fur. It held a microphone in its stubby hand, and its large eyes sparkled with excitement. "Jiggly!" the creature exclaimed. The heroes gasped in surprise, their eyes fixed on the creature. Super Mickey's eyes widened in recognition, while Wonder Minnie, Upsy Daisy, and Super Sailor Chibi Moon stared at Jigglypuff with adorable expressions. Super Goof and Dynamo Duck exchanged a confused glance. "Never heard of this," they said to each other. Super Power Pup barked joyfully at Jigglypuff, while Blossom, Buttercup, and Bliss stared in awe. Bubbles squealed with delight, "Oh, it's so cute!" The Super Sailor Scouts, except for Super Sailor Chibi Moon, smiled at Jigglypuff, familiar with the creature. Super Mickey's expression turned serious, and he whispered, "Let's run." The heroes stared at him blankly, confused by his sudden suggestion. Upsy Daisy asked, "Why would we run from something as cute as Jigglypuff?" Super Mickey's eyes darted nervously at Jigglypuff. "It's because... Jigglypuff has a special ability. It can put you to sleep with its song." The heroes gasped, panic setting in. Super Goof exclaimed, "Gawrsh! We just woke up!" Dynamo Duck agreed, while Super Sailor Moon wrapped her arms around Super Sailor Mars' arm fearfully. Super Sailor Mars placed a calming hand on her shoulder, but it was too late. Jigglypuff inhaled, and Super Mickey and Wonder Minnie screamed, "RUN!" The heroes took off, but Jigglypuff began to sing, its voice melodic and soothing. Music notes flowed from its mouth, a new twist on its ability. The gang slowed down, some muttering, "Not again!" Super Mickey refused to give in, repeating, "I won't fall asleep again." But it was no use. He felt Wonder Minnie lay on his back, and she had Bubbles in her arms. Soon, Super Mickey's head drooped, and he fell asleep, surrounded by his friends. Jigglypuff's expression turned mischievous, and it drew on their faces before leaving. The heroes lay motionless, completely unaware of the trouble they would face when they woke up.
