Plush Land
2025 Edition
#1: Emerald & Vanilla
Part 1: Vanilla & the Starry Egg
Many plush years ago, the Creator of Plush Land was bored. The constant fighting that the cats and Action Defenders were having against the dinosaurs was beginning to bore them. The Creator wore a starry cloak and was a being shrouded in mystery to the plushies. They decided to make some more new races, including rabbits, dogs, penguins, and koalas, and also created more souls for action figures as well. They then wrapped the cloak they held so dear around one of these souls and sent it down to Plush Land. When it arrived, the cats and the Action Defenders were struck with fear, as they thought that it might be a dinosaur egg, potentially to one more dangerous than any they have seen before.
In the north of Plush Land was the Dinosaur Kingdom, which was currently ruled by their queen, Sesaria. She was a pink plush dinosaur with purple ears and a yellow mouth and horns. Sesaria was the fourth ruler from the Triceratops Dynasty, the rulers before her being King Tornado the Great, King Tornado II, and King Horns. Sesaria also had three sons, being Horns Jr., Gale, and Jumper. She also had two brothers, being Jumpy, who turned traitor by joining the cats, and Ugly Dragon, who ran his own group seperately from the dinosaurs called "The Dragons". Swooper, a plush pterodactyl who was Sesaria's right foot dinosaur, swooped down and told Sesaria, "I just flew over a plush forest in the cat's territory and do you know what I found Sesaria?" "What?" Sesaria asked. "I found that the star cloak of legends is being used as an egg! The cats are scared like crazy because they believe that it might be the egg of a super-powerful dinosaur and are too scared to even dare touch it!" Swooper replied. Hearing this, Sesaria told him, "Then I must get that egg! I must! With it, I'll be able to take over all of Plush Land and make it into Dinosaur Land!"
In a tent in the same plush forest that the egg is in, Delicious, a dark brown plush cat with brown eyes lived. The tent in which he lived had many holes in it. The tent looked like a giant, knocked-over, rectangular hamper. His son, who was one year old but as smart as an eight year old arrived and was playing with Delicious's pet dinosaur. This cat's name was Vanilla, and he was a plush siamese cat with blue eyes. His dinosaur was a large action figure named Goli he used for transportation. Vanilla then got on the action figure and rode it deeper into the forest.
As Vanilla was riding in the forest, he saw a starry object and decided to get off of his dinosaur. It was the egg feared by most of the cats, and even his dinosaur ran away at the sight of it. Vanilla, however, was not afraid of this egg. "Oh dear, it looks like Goli ran away again." Vanilla stated. Vanilla then picked up the egg, which was surprisingly light considering its massive size, and only weighed as much as a pillow. Vanilla began to walk back to his tent with the egg.
A while later, he got back home, where Delicious looked at the egg in disbelief. "Where did you get that egg?! How are you still alive?! Everyone else is scared of even touching the egg and you just pick it up like it's a pillow and bring it here! That could be a dinosaur egg, you know!" he exclaimed. Goli then warned them, "The dinosaurs are looking for that egg. It is a gift from the stars. If the dinosaurs get the egg, then Plush Land is finished!" Delicious then looked at Vanilla and told him, "Then you, son, must take the egg to the Sky Mountain, the safest place in Plush Land. The dinosaurs live at the mountain's foot, but you must try, for all of Plush Land is at stake." Vanilla understood, and prepared to leave.
Vanilla then left with the egg, with his dinosaur and Delicious staying behind, wishing him luck. He walked on, out of the forest, but then he saw a green dinosaur action figure. "Hey! I'm Jumper, one of the sons of Sesaria!" he told the cat proudly. Vanilla ignored him and kept walking. Jumper got in the way and said to Vanilla "Hey! I'm talking to you!" "Are you after the egg?" Vanilla asked. "Nope! I'm just looking for dinner! Sesaria said she want cat soup tonight!" Jumper replied. Vanilla then tried to run, but Jumper jumped towards him with a massive leap, but a vanilla bean that Vanilla was carrying hit him on the head. "Oh no! I'm allergic to vanilla beans!" Jumper exclaimed. He then looked at the bean and said, "Oh! Tuna!" Jumper then ate it, and then remembered, "Oh, I forgot, that was a vanilla bean." Jumper then fell unconscious, so Vanilla walked on to the Plush City.
Vanilla walked into the city and met a giant, red plush bulldog. "Hey man, I was born a grown-up! Isn't that awesome?" the bulldog told him. "What's your name?" Vanilla asked. "My name is Bull-Nod Doggy, but just call me Bulldog for short." the bulldog responded. Vanilla then saw a red triceratops action figure and asked, "...What's that red dinosaur thingy?" "That's Horns Jr! He's scared of the very sight of me!" Bulldog explained. He then walked up to Horns Jr and growled at him. Horns Jr did not run, but rather, he attacked. Horns Jr jumped at Bulldog before Bulldog bit him and broke his teeth. Bulldog then ran to see a plush dentist. With the dog gone, Horns Jr went after the egg that Vanilla was carrying, but the egg shone a brilliant light. Within mere seconds, Horns Jr collapsed. Vanilla then walked on.
Vanilla then walked into a place the plushies called the Valley of Mega. There was mountain there known as "The Mountain of Cat-Kind" and a tower known as "Mertle's Tower." Vanilla stopped and found a potato crisp, and he ate it. A poisonous wave then appeared, but Vanilla dodged it by jumping. Vanilla turned and saw the dinosaur who created the wave. The dinosaur was named Gale. Gale was a blue dinosaur action figure that, due to exposure from a pool of cat puke, grew a toxic fin on his back that he used to poison his enemies. Vanilla then not only noticed the area around him was poisoned, but also that a large creature was approaching at fast speed. It was a creature known as the Top Predator. He was a massive old tuxedo cat with green eyes who could defeat a plush with a single tap. The cat licked up the poison, which was actually just sink water, and then swatted Gale, putting the blue dinosaur into a coma. Afterwards, Vanilla walked on, as Dinosaur Valley was near!
Vanilla walked into Dinosaur Valley, and the dinosaurs there ran from the egg after hearing what it had done to Horns Jr with its brilliant light. Swooper flew down and attacked Vanilla, but Vanilla bit him, so Swooper flew away. Swooper was a very timid pterodactyl. Sesaria then started chasing Vanilla and hit him with her foot, allowing her to snatch the egg. She started taking the egg to the top of Sky Mountain, but Vanilla wasn't going to give up just yet. Vanilla started climbing the mountain until two platforms extended. Vanilla was on one platform, and Sesaria was on the other. The egg then shone a brilliant light, but nothing seemed to happen. "You're through now, Vanilla!" Sesaria shouted as she began to leap towards him, but as she was in midair, something moving faster than the eye can see hit her, causing her to fall into the valley below.
Vanilla then went to where the egg was, but the cloak began unwrapping itself as it emitted light. The starry egg was hatching. As the cloak fell to the ground, a being appeared from the egg. The light then faded, and Vanilla saw what had hatched from the egg. It was a bright green plush bunny with a purple nose. Vanilla then took the newborn bunny and began to walk home. He climbed down the mountain, through Dinosaur Valley and the now clean Valley of Mega, then through the Plush City. "Good luck buddy!" Bulldog told Vanilla as he walked through. He then walked through the plush forest until he and the green bunny reached the tent that was Vanilla's home.
When Vanilla got home with the green bunny, Delicious approached him in delight. "It's a Sacred Forest Bunny! You're a hero Vanilla! I'm sorry I ever doubted you!" he told him cheerfully. "So, what are you going to name him?" Goli asked Vanilla." "I'll name him Emerald. Emerald the bunny. That sounds good." Vanilla answered. Emerald would stay with Vanilla and Plush Land would be at peace for three plush years, except for the dinosaurs, of course. Emerald was like the brother Vanilla never had...

"What?" Sesaria asked. "I found that the star cloak of legends is being used as an egg!

Part 2: Disaster in Plush Preschool
It had been three plush years since Vanilla and Emerald arrived home, and since then, Sesaria, her sons, and Swooper had all recovered. Delicious was now planning to send Emerald and Vanilla to the Plush City's preschool, but little did they know that Sesaria was plotting something. Delicious woke up Emerald and Vanilla and announced, "Today is your first day of preschool Emerald and Vanilla!" "But how are we supposed to get there?!" Emerald asked in a yell. Then, nearby, they could hear something shouting "OLLIE-OLLIE-IS-A-FREAK!" It was the horn of the School Truck.
The School Truck then arrived at their tent. Emerald, Vanilla, and Goli got on, but Goli was kicked out. "Sorry kids, no pets allowed!" the truck driver stated. The truck driver was a green suited Action Defender. "Why is this a school trick?! Isn't it supposed to be a school bus?!" Emerald yelled in confusion. "Buses? The last plushies who used those were the ancients." the driver told them. Also on the truck were other plushies. There was Tabbie the plush tabby cat with yellow eyes, Feltsy the thin felt penguin who looked to be wearing some type of green hat, the red plush Valentine's Day devil who held a heart in his arms, Chocolate the caramel colored plush cat with golden eyes, and Smasher the action figure. The truck then stopped. "We're here!" the driver told them. They then got off on an open field with a teacher. "What is this?!" Emerald asked in disbelief. "What? What is this? This isn't a school!" Vanilla exclaimed.
The teacher was a brown and black cat with a white underbelly and brown eyes. She then said, "Hello. Welcome to school. My name is Ms. Fabulous. I am a cat, as you can see, and Fabulous is actually my first name. I believe I have a son in this classroom today!" The class then looked around. "What in the universe?! None of these guys look close enough to be cousins with her!" Emerald whispered to Vanilla. The teacher continued, "Well, meet my son, his name is..." There was a brief pause in the sentence, but in Vanilla's head, time froze as Vanilla realized he was the only male cat present. "The cat see refers to must be me." Vanilla thought. "Vanilla!" Ms. Fabulous finished.
After Ms. Fabulous announced Vanilla to be her son, Emerald asked, "What's a mother?" "...You don't have a mother?" Ms. Fabulous asked in shock. "I have a father, but I cannot understand how Delicious is my father." Emerald told him. "That makes you my step-son, Emerald." Ms. Fabulous responded. "Let us all introduce ourselves!" she then told the class. Ms. Fabulous then sat back. The students couldn't see it, but Ms. Fabulous was actually very tired that morning. The introductory speeches began, starting with Vanilla.
Vanilla then told the class, "My name is Vanilla. I am four plush years old, which makes me one human year old. I am a siamese cat and I have a powerful, yet kind father, as well as a pet dinosaur named Goli, and I live in a tent in the middle of the forest." Emerald then went after Vanilla and said, "My name is Emerald! I am three plush years old and I am a green Sacred Forest Bunny that hatched out of a starry egg after Sesaria tried to destroy me and Vanilla while I was still in the egg. Vanilla's family is the one I belong in the most." The plushies were quite surprised upon hearing Emerald’s speech, including the teacher. "I can see why Delicious chose to let this bunny live with him and Vanilla." Ms. Fabulous told herself.
The tabby cat, Tabbie, then spoke. "I am four years old and like fish. My daddy's name is Milford and I live in Ugly-Mug. It is very scary." she told the class. Feltsy the penguin went next and said, "My name is Feltsy. I am a penguin who is three years old. I am believed to have hatched out of an egg, as penguins typically are. I live in the Valley of Mega." The Valentine's Devil then shouted, "I am the Valentine Devil! I am 4 years old and am the son of Bull-Nod Doggy! I make people face the experience known as love for one day before they leave each other the next day!" He then laughed out loud, as the other plushies were either confused or disappointed. "That doesn't sound very nice." Vanilla told himself.
Chocolate the caramel colored cat then spoke to the class. "My name is Chocolate Kitano, and I am the princess of Plush Land. My father's name is King Lion and my mother's name is Ann. I live at the Plush Palace over in the distance, oh, and I'm four plush years old. Nice to meet you all." she told them. Smasher, a buff action figure wearing military gear with short, black hair, then stomped his way to speak to the class. "MY NAME IS SMASHER! I LOVE TO SMASH! I LIVE NEAR THE PLUSH PLAZA AND I HATE BROCOLLI, SO I SMASH IT ON SIGHT! I AM FOUR PLUSH YEARS OLD!" he shouted very loudly. Ms. Fabulous then passed out.
The students noticed Ms. Fabulous lying on this ground, and Vanilla said, "Oh no. I've seen this happen to a plush before..." "Is she going to be alright?" Chocolate asked. "She's... She's dead." Vanilla responded. "Dead?! I thought that was just a weird thing that happens to you when you get run over by a dinosaur!" Emerald exclaimed. Chocolate then stated, "She was poisoned." "WHAT?!" Emerald asked in shock. "Two days ago, a blue dinosaur who called himself Gale attacked Ms. Fabulous by creating a poisonous wave, and she has been slowly melting from it on the inside over the past two days. Her heart must have melted for her to die so abruptly." Chocolate explained.
The plush ambulance then arrived and a small chimp came out. "Hello. We are here to pick up Fabulous to take her to the hospital." he told the others. "She's dead. She was killed by Gale." Vanilla stated. "Plushies have three lives. That was only her first. Now knowing that, you should know that Sesaria is still alive, and so is her family. You and Emerald are not safe yet." the chimp explained to them. "How do you know about us and Sesaria?" Vanilla asked. "A friend told me." the chimp answered. The School Truck then came to pick up the seven students. "I think it's time for you to go home. Don't worry, there will be a substitute tomorrow, and Fabulous will be OK in about a week. Remember kids, stay away from dinosaurs!" the chimp told the students as they got on the School Truck. The truck then drove the students home.
As the bus drove the students home, the Action Defender that was the driver said, "Welcome back Emerald and Vanilla! Just sit back and relax. I'm sure that must have been hard for you." "Thank you." Vanilla responded. The truck did its five minute drive and dropped Emerald and Vanilla off near their home. When they got home, they entered the tent and Delicious asked, "How did your first day go?" "Terrible." Vanilla replied. "Why is that?" Delicious asked. "Ms. Fabulous died from poisoning caused by Gale." Vanilla told him. "What?! Gale killed my mate?!" Delicious asked in shock. Vanilla nodded his head. "Then I'm coming to school with you tomorrow! This is probably going all according to Sesaria's plan!" he told them with a serious tone.
That night, when Emerald, Vanilla, and Goli were asleep, Delicious walked through the forest and into the school field, and there was Bull-Nod Doggy. "What are you doing here so late at night?" Bulldog asked. "I could ask the same of you!" Delicious replied. "I'm the principal of Plush Preschool, which is also Plush Elementary, Plush High, and Plush College." Bulldog told him. Plushies didn't have middle school, and graduated high school at around fifteen plush years old. "I heard my mate died on your property today due to poisoning by Gale, Sesaria's second son." Delicious told him. Bulldog was then knocked out from behind, and behind him was her, the queen of the dinosaurs, Sesaria. "So we met again Delicious. The one who destroyed my first life and the father of the one who destroyed my second. I will become the teacher of the plush school, then all plushies will be ruled by the dinosaurs!" she told him.
The next morning, Emerald and Vanilla were about to get on the School Truck when Vanilla asked, "Hey, where's Delicious?" "He's dead, now get on!" the driver replied with a yell. They got on, and the driver was Swooper. Soon, they were dropped off at the school and Sesaria was there. She announced to the plushies, "Hello plushies! Today your teachers are me and my children! The red one is Horns Jr, the green one is Jumper, and the blue one is Gale! So, let's see, Emerald is here, Vanilla is here, Tabbie is here, Feltsy is here, Valentine Devil is here, Chocolate is here, and Smasher is here, and then there is this sneaky parent who got into the school..." Sesaria stopped before she turned. There was then a shout. "Beauty Beam!"
After the shout, a rainbow beam of light came out of the parent's nose and hit Sesaria. The parent in question was Delicious. Chocolate then bit Jumper, knocking him out. Gale fired a poison wave, but Delicious deflected it and knocked out Gale. Horns Jr began charging towards Emerald but then Delicious knocked him out as well, but not before Emerald got knocked out. Afterwards, Swooper flew in and crashed into Delicious and Vanilla at his highest speed and not only knocked out Vanilla, but made Delicious lose his second life. "Look who's victorious now!" Sesaria boasted. "Out of dumb luck, may I add." Chocolate told herself.
When Emerald woke up, he was in the Temple of Mega near Dinosaur Valley in the middle of the night. He could see the view of the entire Plush City, and could see all the plushies besides Sesaria knocked out, with Sesaria still lurking about. "Hello Emerald." a voice spoke from behind the green bunny. Emerald jumped and saw a black cat with green eyes as well as three Action Defenders. "Sorry I scared you like that." The cat told him. "Who are you?" Emerald asked. "My name is Mega. You have been knocked out for about 55 plush hours. I am the God of Life, and behind me is Jeremy, who you know as your bus driver, as well as Mat, a general defender of Plush Land, and Maddie, another general defender of Plush Land. We are Plush Legion Omega." the cat explained. "Emerald, it is time for you to learn the legendary attack." Jeremy told Emerald.
"What would the legendary attack be?" Emerald asked Jeremy. "Beauty Beam." Jeremy answered. "Beauty Beam? As in, the attack that Delicious used?!" Emerald asked. "Yes. Now let's get started. Of course, Mega will be the one teaching you, not me." Jeremy said. Mega then explained, "First, you start by taking a deep breath through your nose. Then, you concentrate all your energy towards your nose. Then, breathe out for as long as possible from your nose. This will cause a powerful rainbow beam to come out, but no matter what you do, do not sneeze or you will be hurt in the process! Did you get all of that?" "I think so!" Emerald responded. "Good. Now try it on me." Mega told him. Emerald attempted to do it, and surprisingly, he got it first try. A rainbow beam came out of Emerald's nose and hit Mega. Emerald had successfully learned Beauty Beam.
"Good job!" the red suited Mat told Emerald. "Now that you have learned Beauty Beam, it is time for us to send you back to the Plush City." Mega told Emerald. "Good luck!" Jeremy shouted. "And may Plush Legion Omega be with you!" the yellow suited Maddie added as Emerald was teleported back to the field where the school was. It was now day. Vanilla, Delicious, and Chocolate were regaining consciousness. Emerald approached Sesaria and held his breath. "What is Emerald doing?" Vanilla asked. Emerald then concentrated his energy towards his nose and he exhaled, firing a Beauty Beam.
The Beauty Beam that Emerald used directly hit Sesaria, severely injuring her. "That was... Beauty Beam!" Delicious remarked in surprise. "But... only you can use Beauty Beam!" Vanilla told him. "He is no longer the only being that can use Beauty Beam." Mega told Vanilla as he arrived. "Who is that?!" Vanilla asked. "It's Mega from Plush Legion Omega!" Emerald and Delicious said at the same time. Meanwhile, Sesaria began fading away, as she shouted, "Oh no! That was my last life! I swear that I'll come back from the dead and get you someday! I mean it!" She then completely disappeared. Sesaria had gone on to the next life.
Emerald, Vanilla, and Delicious walked home after those three long days, now that Sesaria was no more. Without her, Dinosaur Valley was nearly destroyed, and very shortly after, Jumper took the throne. Emerald used Beauty Beam on him and within three battles, he also fell. Gale took the throne next but was also fell after two battles with Emerald. Then, Horns Jr was the last ruler, and he was defeated by Emerald in three battles. Feltsy and Tabbie lost a life against Swooper before Smasher smashed him, ultimately ending Swooper's life. The cats then conquered the dinosaurs, and there would be peace for another five plush years. Emerald would be nine plush years old, Vanilla would be ten plush years old, and both would be in fifth grade, the last year of elementary school.
The School Truck then arrived at their tent. Emerald, Vanilla, and Goli got on, but Goli was kicked out. "Sorry kids, no pets allowed!" the truck driver stated. The truck driver was a green suited Action Defender. "Why is this a school trick?! Isn't it supposed to be a school bus?!" Emerald yelled in confusion. "Buses?

There was Tabbie the plush tabby cat with yellow eyes, Feltsy the thin felt penguin who looked to be wearing some type of green hat, the red plush Valentine's Day devil who held a heart in his arms, Chocolate the caramel colored plush cat with golden eyes, and Smasher the action figure. The truck then stopped. "We're here!" the driver told them. They then got off on an open field with a teacher. "What is this?!" Emerald asked in disbelief. "What? What is this? This isn't a school!"

Vanilla's family is the one I belong in the most." The plushies were quite surprised upon hearing Emerald’s speech, including the teacher. "I can see why Delicious chose to let this bunny live with him and Vanilla." Ms. Fabulous told herself.
The tabby cat, Tabbie, then spoke. "I am four years old and like fish. My daddy's name is Milford and I live in Ugly-Mug. It is very scary." she told the class. Feltsy the penguin went next and said, "My name is Feltsy. I am a penguin who is three years old. I am believed to have hatched out of an egg, as penguins typically are. I live in the Valley of Mega." The Valentine's Devil then shouted, "I am the Valentine Devil! I am 4 years old and am the son of Bull-Nod Doggy! I make people face the experience known as love for one day before they leave each other the next day!" He then laughed out loud, as the other plushies were either confused or disappointed. "That doesn't sound very nice." Vanilla told himself.
Chocolate the caramel colored cat then spoke to the class. "My name is Chocolate Kitano, and I am the princess of Plush Land. My father's name is King Lion and my mother's name is Ann. I live at the Plush Palace over in the distance, oh, and I'm four plush years old. Nice to meet you all." she told them. Smasher, a buff action figure wearing military gear with short, black hair, then stomped his way to speak to the class. "MY NAME IS SMASHER! I LOVE TO SMASH! I LIVE NEAR THE PLUSH PLAZA AND I HATE BROCOLLI, SO I SMASH IT ON SIGHT! I AM FOUR PLUSH YEARS OLD!" he shouted very loudly. Ms. Fabulous then passed out.
The students noticed Ms. Fabulous lying on this ground, and Vanilla said, "Oh no. I've seen this happen to a plush before..." "Is she going to be alright?" Chocolate asked. "She's... She's dead." Vanilla responded. "Dead?! I thought that was just a weird thing that happens to you when you get run over by a dinosaur!" Emerald exclaimed. Chocolate then stated, "She was poisoned." "WHAT?!" Emerald asked in shock. "Two days ago, a blue dinosaur who called himself Gale attacked Ms. Fabulous by creating a poisonous wave, and she has been slowly melting from it on the inside over the past two days. Her heart must have melted for her to die so abruptly." Chocolate explained.
The plush ambulance then arrived and a small chimp came out. "Hello. We are here to pick up Fabulous to take her to the hospital." he told the others. "She's dead. She was killed by Gale." Vanilla stated. "Plushies have three lives. That was only her first. Now knowing that, you should know that Sesaria is still alive, and so is her family. You and Emerald are not safe yet." the chimp explained to them. "How do you know about us and Sesaria?" Vanilla asked. "A friend told me." the chimp answered. The School Truck then came to pick up the seven students. "I think it's time for you to go home. Don't worry, there will be a substitute tomorrow, and Fabulous will be OK in about a week. Remember kids, stay away from dinosaurs!" the chimp told the students as they got on the School Truck. The truck then drove the students home.
As the bus drove the students home, the Action Defender that was the driver said, "Welcome back Emerald and Vanilla! Just sit back and relax. I'm sure that must have been hard for you." "Thank you." Vanilla responded. The truck did its five minute drive and dropped Emerald and Vanilla off near their home. When they got home, they entered the tent and Delicious asked, "How did your first day go?" "Terrible." Vanilla replied. "Why is that?" Delicious asked. "Ms. Fabulous died from poisoning caused by Gale." Vanilla told him. "What?! Gale killed my mate?!" Delicious asked in shock. Vanilla nodded his head. "Then I'm coming to school with you tomorrow! This is probably going all according to Sesaria's plan!" he told them with a serious tone.
That night, when Emerald, Vanilla, and Goli were asleep, Delicious walked through the forest and into the school field, and there was Bull-Nod Doggy. "What are you doing here so late at night?" Bulldog asked. "I could ask the same of you!" Delicious replied. "I'm the principal of Plush Preschool, which is also Plush Elementary, Plush High, and Plush College." Bulldog told him. Plushies didn't have middle school, and graduated high school at around fifteen plush years old. "I heard my mate died on your property today due to poisoning by Gale, Sesaria's second son." Delicious told him. Bulldog was then knocked out from behind, and behind him was her, the queen of the dinosaurs, Sesaria. "So we met again Delicious. The one who destroyed my first life and the father of the one who destroyed my second. I will become the teacher of the plush school, then all plushies will be ruled by the dinosaurs!" she told him.
The next morning, Emerald and Vanilla were about to get on the School Truck when Vanilla asked, "Hey, where's Delicious?" "He's dead, now get on!" the driver replied with a yell. They got on, and the driver was Swooper. Soon, they were dropped off at the school and Sesaria was there. She announced to the plushies, "Hello plushies! Today your teachers are me and my children! The red one is Horns Jr, the green one is Jumper, and the blue one is Gale! So, let's see, Emerald is here, Vanilla is here, Tabbie is here, Feltsy is here, Valentine Devil is here, Chocolate is here, and Smasher is here, and then there is this sneaky parent who got into the school..." Sesaria stopped before she turned. There was then a shout. "Beauty Beam!"
After the shout, a rainbow beam of light came out of the parent's nose and hit Sesaria. The parent in question was Delicious. Chocolate then bit Jumper, knocking him out. Gale fired a poison wave, but Delicious deflected it and knocked out Gale. Horns Jr began charging towards Emerald but then Delicious knocked him out as well, but not before Emerald got knocked out. Afterwards, Swooper flew in and crashed into Delicious and Vanilla at his highest speed and not only knocked out Vanilla, but made Delicious lose his second life. "Look who's victorious now!" Sesaria boasted. "Out of dumb luck, may I add." Chocolate told herself.
When Emerald woke up, he was in the Temple of Mega near Dinosaur Valley in the middle of the night. He could see the view of the entire Plush City, and could see all the plushies besides Sesaria knocked out, with Sesaria still lurking about. "Hello Emerald." a voice spoke from behind the green bunny. Emerald jumped and saw a black cat with green eyes as well as three Action Defenders. "Sorry I scared you like that." The cat told him. "Who are you?" Emerald asked. "My name is Mega. You have been knocked out for about 55 plush hours. I am the God of Life, and behind me is Jeremy, who you know as your bus driver, as well as Mat, a general defender of Plush Land, and Maddie, another general defender of Plush Land. We are Plush Legion Omega." the cat explained. "Emerald, it is time for you to learn the legendary attack." Jeremy told Emerald.
"What would the legendary attack be?" Emerald asked Jeremy. "Beauty Beam." Jeremy answered. "Beauty Beam? As in, the attack that Delicious used?!" Emerald asked. "Yes. Now let's get started. Of course, Mega will be the one teaching you, not me." Jeremy said. Mega then explained, "First, you start by taking a deep breath through your nose. Then, you concentrate all your energy towards your nose. Then, breathe out for as long as possible from your nose. This will cause a powerful rainbow beam to come out, but no matter what you do, do not sneeze or you will be hurt in the process! Did you get all of that?" "I think so!" Emerald responded. "Good. Now try it on me." Mega told him. Emerald attempted to do it, and surprisingly, he got it first try. A rainbow beam came out of Emerald's nose and hit Mega. Emerald had successfully learned Beauty Beam.
"Good job!" the red suited Mat told Emerald. "Now that you have learned Beauty Beam, it is time for us to send you back to the Plush City." Mega told Emerald. "Good luck!" Jeremy shouted. "And may Plush Legion Omega be with you!" the yellow suited Maddie added as Emerald was teleported back to the field where the school was. It was now day. Vanilla, Delicious, and Chocolate were regaining consciousness. Emerald approached Sesaria and held his breath. "What is Emerald doing?" Vanilla asked. Emerald then concentrated his energy towards his nose and he exhaled, firing a Beauty Beam.
The Beauty Beam that Emerald used directly hit Sesaria, severely injuring her. "That was... Beauty Beam!" Delicious remarked in surprise. "But... only you can use Beauty Beam!" Vanilla told him. "He is no longer the only being that can use Beauty Beam." Mega told Vanilla as he arrived. "Who is that?!" Vanilla asked. "It's Mega from Plush Legion Omega!" Emerald and Delicious said at the same time. Meanwhile, Sesaria began fading away, as she shouted, "Oh no! That was my last life! I swear that I'll come back from the dead and get you someday! I mean it!" She then completely disappeared. Sesaria had gone on to the next life.
Emerald, Vanilla, and Delicious walked home after those three long days, now that Sesaria was no more. Without her, Dinosaur Valley was nearly destroyed, and very shortly after, Jumper took the throne. Emerald used Beauty Beam on him and within three battles, he also fell. Gale took the throne next but was also fell after two battles with Emerald. Then, Horns Jr was the last ruler, and he was defeated by Emerald in three battles. Feltsy and Tabbie lost a life against Swooper before Smasher smashed him, ultimately ending Swooper's life. The cats then conquered the dinosaurs, and there would be peace for another five plush years. Emerald would be nine plush years old, Vanilla would be ten plush years old, and both would be in fifth grade, the last year of elementary school.
Mini Part: The Origins of Beauty Beam
One day long ago, when Mega was in the area now known as the Valley of Mega, the Creator appeared before him. "I have chosen to make you the guardian of Plush Land, and as such, I shall grant you with a special power." they told Mega. "What is this special power?" Mega asked. "It shall be called Beauty Beam. I shall now grant you with this power." the Creator said. They then shone a rainbow light upon Mega. "Now take a deep breath, concentrate all of your energy towards your nose, and then breathe out for as long as you possibly can." the Creator told him. Mega did just that and he fired the first Beauty Beam. "Good job Mega. Only those I grant the ability to will be able to use this attack. Now go on and protect Plush Land!" the Creator told Mega before they disappeared. Later, Mega would teach this ability to Delicious, and even later than that, Emerald.
Part 3: Bull-Nod Doggy
It had been five plush years since the defeat of Sesaria. Emerald and Vanilla were now in fifth grade, though Ms. Fabulous was still their teacher. The school truck arrived and picked Emerald and Vanilla up and they went to school. Jeremy was once again the driver and when they got to the field, they noticed something strange. "Where's Ms. Fabulous?" Vanilla asked. "I don't know. She's not usually out." Feltsy responded. At that moment, Bull-Nod Doggy, the school's principal, walked to where the class was. "Okay students, there's a shortage of staff, so I'm going to be your teacher today! That means that today, I am Mr. Bulldog!" he told the class. Vanilla raised his hand. "What is it?" he asked. "What's going on today?" Vanilla asked. "We're going dinosaur hunting!" Bulldog announced.
Bulldog, after answering Vanilla's question, told the class, "Okay, it's time for us to go on a field trip!" He then started walking, and the class followed, and eventually got to the plush forest in which Vanilla lives. "Hey, this area looks familiar!" Emerald whispered to Vanilla. "That's because we live in that forest." Vanilla told him. They then walked into the forest, and Bulldog stopped. "Look class, I found one right in the open!" he whispered. Emerald and Vanilla then looked, and they recognized the dinosaur right away. "That's Goli!" Vanilla exclaimed. "Let's get him class!" Bulldog commanded the students. They then charged after the dinosaur that was like a family member to Emerald and Vanilla. Vanilla's heart sank, and before even thinking, Emerald charged.
As Bulldog charged at Goli, Emerald charged and got in the way before Bulldog could attack. "Get out of the way!" Bulldog demanded right before he raised his paw. Suddenly, a rainbow beam hit Bulldog, before Delicious emerged from the forest. Bulldog turned to him and he complained, "That hurt! What was that for?!" "That dinosaur is like a family member to me, Emerald, and Vanilla, and the fact you would even try to hurt my son, to attack someone close to us... I can't believe that you would sink this low." Delicious told him in anger. Bulldog then growled, before saying, "Okay. Due to certain circumstances, class is dismissed." The students then walked out of the forest, and Delicious walked home with Emerald, Vanilla, and Goli. "Shame on you." Delicious told Bulldog before he walked home.
That evening, as Vanilla and his family were eating together, Delicious told them, "Be sure to treasure times we have together like this. It's not always going to be like this in the future." Emerald suddenly paused from eating his vanilla beans. "What do you mean by that?!" Emerald asked, concerned. "Don't be too worried about it. I plan to spend as much time with you three as I can. That's why I don't plan to kick the bucket any time soon!" Delicious responded. "You were starting to worry me there, especially with what ended up happening today!" Vanilla said. "Sorry about that!" Delicious responded. They then continued to eat dinner before Emerald, Vanilla, and Goli went to sleep.
That night, Delicious began walking to the school field once more. A plush then walked up to him and asked, "So what is a young one like yourself doing this late at night?" Delicious turned and saw an old, light green plush turtle with blue eyes. "Bulldog caused some problems today, so I'm planning to go talk to him." Delicious told him. "Remember, you two trained together under my student Mega. Make sure to be careful." the turtle warned him. "I will. I have a family that I need to return to. The reason I am coming out to meet Bulldog is to protect my sons from what he has been doing." Delicious replied. "I see. Well, I hope you have a good evening." the turtle said before walking away. Delicious then walked on towards the field.
When Delicious reached the field, Bulldog was there. "I knew you would come." Bulldog told him. "So what was the deal with trying to attack my family earlier today?" Delicious asked in a stern voice. "It's time I told you the truth." Bulldog told him. "The truth?!" Delicious asked in shock. "The truth is, I live in the land beyond Dinosaur Valley and Sky Mountain." he told Delicious. "Surely you don't mean...!" Delicious began to say in disbelief. "That's right, the land I reside in is none other than Ugly-Mug Kitchen! I have a couple of friends there who told me you and your children were giving them a hard time!" Bulldog told him. Bulldog then got into an attack stance. "It's time that I eliminate you once and for all!" Bulldog shouted. Bulldog then leaped and bit Delicious, chewing on his entire body until Delicious breathed his last breath.
That same night, Mega watched the events unfold from the Temple of Mega, and he then closed his eyes. "He's going into his spirit mode!" Mat stated. "I wonder what happened to make him do that?" Jeremy asked. In spirit, Mega flew to Delicious, and as Delicious's body began to fade away, Mega greeted him. "So you're here to bring me to the afterlife instead of the Creator?" Delicious asked. "That is correct. You were very brave to stand up to Bulldog like that. It is now time for you to go up to Plush Heaven and rest. I'm sure your final death will not be in vain." Mega responded. He then flew Delicious up to Plush Heaven as fast as he could. After he dropped him off, Mega returned to Plush Land and his spirit returned to his body. Mega then told Plush Legion Omega, "Delicious has lost his last life. It is now up to Emerald to defeat Bulldog."
The next morning, Emerald and Vanilla woke up and noticed that Delicious was gone. "Did Delicious go out again?" Vanilla asked himself. They then left to get on the School Truck and went to school. When they got there, Ms. Fabulous had returned. "Okay class, I hope things were okay yesterday. The substitute didn't give me any sort of report, so I guess nothing too bad could have happened." she told the class. Ms. Fabulous then stood there for a moment. "...I don't know why, but for some reason, I have an uneasy feeling. I hope that Delicious is okay." she then said. Afterwards, Bulldog came onto the field. "Would Emerald and Vanilla come with me please?" he requested. The two got up and they left the class with Bulldog. Ms. Fabulous then looked towards the sky. Deep in her heart, she could feel that something was very wrong.
Bulldog then took Emerald and Vanilla away from the class. "I'm sure you noticed that Delicious has been missing! It sure would be a shame if something happened to him." Bulldog remarked. He then looked forward, with a grin. "What's so funny?!" Emerald asked. "Oh, nothing! That's right, nothing at all..." Bulldog responded. Eventually, Bulldog stopped walking. "So, here we are!" Bulldog told them. They didn't realize it, but they had walked a great distance and were by an unfamiliar mountain. "Where are we?" Vanilla asked. "Your grave!" Bulldog answered before charging at Vanilla. He bit and chewed at Vanilla, thrashing him around until he dropped him on the ground. Vanilla had lost his first life. "How... HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO VANILLA!" Emerald shouted. He then fired a Beauty Beam at Bulldog, but he dodged. He then slapped Emerald, who then fell unconscious.
Later that day, after class was over, Ms. Fabulous began walking home, with the unease in her heart. Seeing this, Mega flew down to her. "Hello Mega. Do you have any idea how Delicious has been?" she asked him. "Well, unfortunately, he's no longer with us. He has gone on to the next world." he responded. Her heart immediately dropped. "You mean..." Ms. Fabulous began to say before she stopped. She hung her head down towards her feet and began crying. Well, plushies couldn't create tears, but regardless, she cried. Mega slowly walked away before flying back to the Temple of Mega. She would go home and cry for the rest of the night, and even after that, until she couldn't cry anymore. She would be out of the classroom for over a week.
The next morning, Emerald woke up and found himself at the foot of a mountain shaped like a treadmill. "What is this place?" Emerald asked. "I see you have recovered." a voice told him. Emerald then looked around and saw the old light green turtle. "Who are you?" Emerald asked. "My name is Mertle the turtle. I am a plush who has been around since before the Creator himself was. Oh, and I saved you on the other side of the mountain. Don't worry, Vanilla is quite fine, see?" the turtle told him before turning his head. Emerald looked and saw Vanilla was resting. "Unlike you, that poor young cat lost one of his lives from that awful brute. I can't believe someone trained by my own student would do something so awful." Mertle added. "Your student?!" Emerald asked in surprise. "That's right. It all started long ago." Mertle began.
"It all started long ago. Mega had just arrived in what would be known as Plush Land right before the Creator did. Back then, Mega was about as large as the Top Predator, and he had arrived with a rainbow cat with white eyes." Mertle told Emerald. "What?" Emerald asked. "Soon after the rainbow cat left, the Creator had arrived, and was very small when he arrived. Afterwards, Mega reduced his size to the size he is now and gave himself the form of a plush. Afterwards, I trained him on how to be a plush. Despite this, I still see him eating small beings that are not plushies. I think they're called mice? Or are they call rice? Lice? Dice? Hmm... What was I saying again?" Mertle told him. "A bunch of nonsense." Emerald responded. "Yep! That sounds like something I'd do!" Mertle said before laughing out loud.
Later, Vanilla woke up. "Oh good! You're awake!" Mertle told him. "Who are you?!" Vanilla asked. "I'm Mertle the Turtle, Mega's old teacher! I saved you and Emerald from Bulldog earlier!" he replied. "So, what about Delicious?" Vanilla asked. "He's in Plush Heaven." Mertle answered. "He's dead?!" Emerald exclaimed. "...I think so. I think he got chewed up by a Bullfrog? No, wait, it was definitely a Bulldog. Sorry about that. My best friend back in the day was named Bullfrog. Yeah, Bull-Nod Doggy chewed Delicious up and Mega took him to Plush Heaven." Mertle told them. "You sure do know a lot about what happened to him after he died!" Emerald remarked. "The Creator tells me everything." he then responded. Meanwhile, Vanilla was crying. "Oh yeah. I guess death is still new to you, isn't it? Being about 800 plush years old, it's easy for me to forget that." Mertle stated.
After Vanilla was given some time to mourn, Emerald asked, "What are we supposed to do now?!" "It would certainly be a waste for you to fight Bulldog the way you are now. You would just end up losing the rest of your lives." Mertle told them. "Then what are we supposed to do?!" Vanilla asked. "It seems that I'm going to have to train you." Mertle responded. "How?" Emerald asked. "Climb onto the treadmill." Mertle said. "The what?" Vanilla asked. "You see this mountain? It's a giant, fully-functioning treadmill. Mega went through the same training when he first came here. Now get on." Mertle demanded. They then got on. Mertle then flew up and he turned the treadmill on. Very quickly, Emerald and Vanilla fell off. "Come on, you have to try harder than that! Get back on and keep going!" Mertle shouted. This process would continue for many days.
After two plush weeks, Emerald and Vanilla were finally able to stay on the treadmill for a decent amount of time. "That's good! Now it's time to put this thing on full power!" Mertle announced. He then turned up the treadmill to its fastest setting, and Emerald and Vanilla fell off immediately. "Come on! You're not going to beat Bulldog if you can't even run a treadmill!" Mertle shouted to them. They kept on trying, and it took them three more plush weeks to get to the point where they could finally stay on. After their five plush weeks of training, Mertle told them, "Congratulations! You have finished your speed training! You're still not as fast as Mega though, but that’s just because Mega is the Life God here in Plush Land!" "Yay!" Emerald cheered. "Now it's time for strength training!" Mertle told them.
Before he could explain any further though, they heard growling in the distance. "Who comes there?!" Mertle shouted. "I knew you two were still alive!" someone said. It was Bulldog, who had finally found them after looking for a long time. Mertle then approached Bulldog. "You better step away now or I shall bring the wrath of our ancestors upon you." Mertle demanded. "I'm not scared of an old geezer like you!" Bulldog replied. He then slapped Mertle and flipped him upside down. "...I certainly didn't anticipate this." he said. Bulldog then squashed him with his huge paw. Mertle had lost one of his lives. Vanilla then snuck Mertle away to a safe place, leaving only Emerald to face Bull-Nod Doggy.
"You're finished now!" Bulldog shouted. He then jumped at Emerald, but Emerald quickly dodged. "What-" Bulldog tried to say before he was suddenly hit by a barrage of blows that was much faster than the large and somewhat slow Bulldog could keep up with, and he got knocked over onto his side. Emerald then shouted, "For killing our father and ending one of Vanilla's and Mertle's lives, as well as hurting me and trying to hurt Goli, I will make you pay! BEAUTY BEAM!" He then fired a Beauty Beam at Bulldog dead between the eyes and ended up taking him down. Bulldog fell limp on the ground and then began fading away. Bull-Nod Doggy had lost his final life and was about to go to the afterlife, but unlike Delicious, he was going somewhere else.
When Bulldog faded away and died, he saw the figure of the Creator. "You, Bulldog, have been a very bad boy. I have somewhere special for plushies like you." they told him. The Creator then picked up Bulldog, and rushed through the lands and into the direction of Plush Heaven, but then, there was a fork in the road. Instead of taking the road that led to Plush Heaven, the Creator took the other road and dropped Bulldog off there. He then left, and there, Bulldog would experience many horrors unimaginable by plushies and would be tortured for his duration there. Bull-Nod Doggy was in the place known simply as the Plush Underworld.
Bulldog, after answering Vanilla's question, told the class, "Okay, it's time for us to go on a field trip!" He then started walking, and the class followed, and eventually got to the plush forest in which Vanilla lives. "Hey, this area looks familiar!" Emerald whispered to Vanilla. "That's because we live in that forest." Vanilla told him. They then walked into the forest, and Bulldog stopped. "Look class, I found one right in the open!" he whispered. Emerald and Vanilla then looked, and they recognized the dinosaur right away. "That's Goli!" Vanilla exclaimed. "Let's get him class!" Bulldog commanded the students. They then charged after the dinosaur that was like a family member to Emerald and Vanilla. Vanilla's heart sank, and before even thinking, Emerald charged.
As Bulldog charged at Goli, Emerald charged and got in the way before Bulldog could attack. "Get out of the way!" Bulldog demanded right before he raised his paw. Suddenly, a rainbow beam hit Bulldog, before Delicious emerged from the forest. Bulldog turned to him and he complained, "That hurt! What was that for?!" "That dinosaur is like a family member to me, Emerald, and Vanilla, and the fact you would even try to hurt my son, to attack someone close to us... I can't believe that you would sink this low." Delicious told him in anger. Bulldog then growled, before saying, "Okay. Due to certain circumstances, class is dismissed." The students then walked out of the forest, and Delicious walked home with Emerald, Vanilla, and Goli. "Shame on you." Delicious told Bulldog before he walked home.
That evening, as Vanilla and his family were eating together, Delicious told them, "Be sure to treasure times we have together like this. It's not always going to be like this in the future." Emerald suddenly paused from eating his vanilla beans. "What do you mean by that?!" Emerald asked, concerned. "Don't be too worried about it. I plan to spend as much time with you three as I can. That's why I don't plan to kick the bucket any time soon!" Delicious responded. "You were starting to worry me there, especially with what ended up happening today!" Vanilla said. "Sorry about that!" Delicious responded. They then continued to eat dinner before Emerald, Vanilla, and Goli went to sleep.
That night, Delicious began walking to the school field once more. A plush then walked up to him and asked, "So what is a young one like yourself doing this late at night?" Delicious turned and saw an old, light green plush turtle with blue eyes. "Bulldog caused some problems today, so I'm planning to go talk to him." Delicious told him. "Remember, you two trained together under my student Mega. Make sure to be careful." the turtle warned him. "I will. I have a family that I need to return to. The reason I am coming out to meet Bulldog is to protect my sons from what he has been doing." Delicious replied. "I see. Well, I hope you have a good evening." the turtle said before walking away. Delicious then walked on towards the field.
When Delicious reached the field, Bulldog was there. "I knew you would come." Bulldog told him. "So what was the deal with trying to attack my family earlier today?" Delicious asked in a stern voice. "It's time I told you the truth." Bulldog told him. "The truth?!" Delicious asked in shock. "The truth is, I live in the land beyond Dinosaur Valley and Sky Mountain." he told Delicious. "Surely you don't mean...!" Delicious began to say in disbelief. "That's right, the land I reside in is none other than Ugly-Mug Kitchen! I have a couple of friends there who told me you and your children were giving them a hard time!" Bulldog told him. Bulldog then got into an attack stance. "It's time that I eliminate you once and for all!" Bulldog shouted. Bulldog then leaped and bit Delicious, chewing on his entire body until Delicious breathed his last breath.
That same night, Mega watched the events unfold from the Temple of Mega, and he then closed his eyes. "He's going into his spirit mode!" Mat stated. "I wonder what happened to make him do that?" Jeremy asked. In spirit, Mega flew to Delicious, and as Delicious's body began to fade away, Mega greeted him. "So you're here to bring me to the afterlife instead of the Creator?" Delicious asked. "That is correct. You were very brave to stand up to Bulldog like that. It is now time for you to go up to Plush Heaven and rest. I'm sure your final death will not be in vain." Mega responded. He then flew Delicious up to Plush Heaven as fast as he could. After he dropped him off, Mega returned to Plush Land and his spirit returned to his body. Mega then told Plush Legion Omega, "Delicious has lost his last life. It is now up to Emerald to defeat Bulldog."
The next morning, Emerald and Vanilla woke up and noticed that Delicious was gone. "Did Delicious go out again?" Vanilla asked himself. They then left to get on the School Truck and went to school. When they got there, Ms. Fabulous had returned. "Okay class, I hope things were okay yesterday. The substitute didn't give me any sort of report, so I guess nothing too bad could have happened." she told the class. Ms. Fabulous then stood there for a moment. "...I don't know why, but for some reason, I have an uneasy feeling. I hope that Delicious is okay." she then said. Afterwards, Bulldog came onto the field. "Would Emerald and Vanilla come with me please?" he requested. The two got up and they left the class with Bulldog. Ms. Fabulous then looked towards the sky. Deep in her heart, she could feel that something was very wrong.
Bulldog then took Emerald and Vanilla away from the class. "I'm sure you noticed that Delicious has been missing! It sure would be a shame if something happened to him." Bulldog remarked. He then looked forward, with a grin. "What's so funny?!" Emerald asked. "Oh, nothing! That's right, nothing at all..." Bulldog responded. Eventually, Bulldog stopped walking. "So, here we are!"

HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO VANILLA!" Emerald shouted. He then fired a Beauty Beam at Bulldog, but he dodged. He then slapped Emerald, who then fell unconscious.
Later that day, after class was over, Ms. Fabulous began walking home, with the unease in her heart. Seeing this, Mega flew down to her. "Hello Mega. Do you have any idea how Delicious has been?" she asked him. "Well, unfortunately, he's no longer with us. He has gone on to the next world." he responded. Her heart immediately dropped. "You mean..." Ms. Fabulous began to say before she stopped. She hung her head down towards her feet and began crying. Well, plushies couldn't create tears, but regardless, she cried. Mega slowly walked away before flying back to the Temple of Mega. She would go home and cry for the rest of the night, and even after that, until she couldn't cry anymore. She would be out of the classroom for over a week.
The next morning, Emerald woke up and found himself at the foot of a mountain shaped like a treadmill. "What is this place?" Emerald asked. "I see you have recovered." a voice told him. Emerald then looked around and saw the old light green turtle. "Who are you?" Emerald asked. "My name is Mertle the turtle. I am a plush who has been around since before the Creator himself was.

"So, what about Delicious?" Vanilla asked. "He's in Plush Heaven." Mertle answered. "He's dead?!" Emerald exclaimed. "...I think so. I think he got chewed up by a Bullfrog? No, wait, it was definitely a Bulldog. Sorry about that. My best friend back in the day was named Bullfrog. Yeah, Bull-Nod Doggy chewed Delicious up and Mega took him to Plush Heaven." Mertle told them. "You sure do know a lot about what happened to him after he died!" Emerald remarked. "The Creator tells me everything." he then responded. Meanwhile, Vanilla was crying. "Oh yeah. I guess death is still new to you, isn't it? Being about 800 plush years old, it's easy for me to forget that." Mertle stated.
After Vanilla was given some time to mourn, Emerald asked, "What are we supposed to do now?!" "It would certainly be a waste for you to fight Bulldog the way you are now. You would just end up losing the rest of your lives." Mertle told them. "Then what are we supposed to do?!" Vanilla asked. "It seems that I'm going to have to train you." Mertle responded. "How?" Emerald asked. "Climb onto the treadmill." Mertle said. "The what?" Vanilla asked. "You see this mountain? It's a giant, fully-functioning treadmill. Mega went through the same training when he first came here. Now get on." Mertle demanded. They then got on. Mertle then flew up and he turned the treadmill on. Very quickly, Emerald and Vanilla fell off. "Come on, you have to try harder than that! Get back on and keep going!" Mertle shouted. This process would continue for many days.
After two plush weeks, Emerald and Vanilla were finally able to stay on the treadmill for a decent amount of time. "That's good! Now it's time to put this thing on full power!" Mertle announced. He then turned up the treadmill to its fastest setting, and Emerald and Vanilla fell off immediately. "Come on! You're not going to beat Bulldog if you can't even run a treadmill!" Mertle shouted to them. They kept on trying, and it took them three more plush weeks to get to the point where they could finally stay on. After their five plush weeks of training, Mertle told them, "Congratulations! You have finished your speed training! You're still not as fast as Mega though, but that’s just because Mega is the Life God here in Plush Land!" "Yay!" Emerald cheered. "Now it's time for strength training!" Mertle told them.
Before he could explain any further though, they heard growling in the distance. "Who comes there?!" Mertle shouted. "I knew you two were still alive!" someone said. It was Bulldog, who had finally found them after looking for a long time. Mertle then approached Bulldog. "You better step away now or I shall bring the wrath of our ancestors upon you." Mertle demanded. "I'm not scared of an old geezer like you!" Bulldog replied. He then slapped Mertle and flipped him upside down. "...I certainly didn't anticipate this." he said. Bulldog then squashed him with his huge paw. Mertle had lost one of his lives. Vanilla then snuck Mertle away to a safe place, leaving only Emerald to face Bull-Nod Doggy.
"You're finished now!" Bulldog shouted. He then jumped at Emerald, but Emerald quickly dodged. "What-" Bulldog tried to say before he was suddenly hit by a barrage of blows that was much faster than the large and somewhat slow Bulldog could keep up with, and he got knocked over onto his side. Emerald then shouted, "For killing our father and ending one of Vanilla's and Mertle's lives, as well as hurting me and trying to hurt Goli, I will make you pay! BEAUTY BEAM!" He then fired a Beauty Beam at Bulldog dead between the eyes and ended up taking him down. Bulldog fell limp on the ground and then began fading away. Bull-Nod Doggy had lost his final life and was about to go to the afterlife, but unlike Delicious, he was going somewhere else.
When Bulldog faded away and died, he saw the figure of the Creator. "You, Bulldog, have been a very bad boy. I have somewhere special for plushies like you." they told him. The Creator then picked up Bulldog, and rushed through the lands and into the direction of Plush Heaven, but then, there was a fork in the road. Instead of taking the road that led to Plush Heaven, the Creator took the other road and dropped Bulldog off there. He then left, and there, Bulldog would experience many horrors unimaginable by plushies and would be tortured for his duration there. Bull-Nod Doggy was in the place known simply as the Plush Underworld.
Part 4: Bulldog & Sesaria's Return
After the death of Bulldog, Emerald and Vanilla went back to having somewhat normal and peaceful lives. They attended school again and Ms. Fabulous was relieved to see that they had returned. There was now a new Plush Principal, who was a big white plush cat with blue eyes named Glora. Now, however, instead of living with Delicious, who is no longer alive, or living with Ms. Fabulous, Emerald and Vanilla instead lived with Mertle the turtle. As such, they trained often. They overtime did the strength training, and eventually did teamwork training as well. Vanilla had also learned his own special attack, called Vanilla Wave, which was done by concentrating energy at his feet, creating a wave of energy similar to a tidal wave. Also, Smasher trained in the Temple of Mega and became even better at smashing, but for good cause.
It had been four plush years, though for those in the Plush Underworld, it had felt like a lot longer. Bulldog, who had previously been alone ran into someone. It was Sesaria and her family. "How did you end up in this horrible place?!" Sesaria asked Bulldog. "The Creator didn't seem to like me killing Delicious very much." he told her. "You killed Delicious? Hey, I know we're already dead, but I think that makes us allies in my book!" Sesaria told him. "I wish I could make Emerald pay for making me end up here though!" Bulldog shouted. "Same here!" Sesaria shouted in response. A mysterious and ominous voice then came from above. "Then I'll make a deal with you." it said. "Who are you?!" Sesaria and Bulldog asked.
After Bulldog and Sesaria asked who the voice was, it replied, "Allow me to introduce myself." Someone then descended. It was a light rainbow colored plush bear with black eyes that stood on its hind legs. "My name is Rainbow. I, like you, am a plush that the Creator sent here." the bear told them. "How come?" Bulldog asked. "It was after a fight with my old enemy, Mega. I lost and the Creator sealed me away here. Of course, there's a way I can help you if you help me." Rainbow told them. "How is that?" Sesaria asked. "If you can promise to defeat Mega after you defeat Emerald, I will teleport you down to Ugly Mug. If you fail, however, I will tell the Creator about you escaping. Knowing this, will you accept?" Rainbow told them. "Yes!" Sesaria and Bulldog responded. "Then so be it." Rainbow responded. He then teleported them.
It was now the end of Emerald and Vanilla's last year at Plush High School, which was four plush years after Bulldog's defeat since plushies didn't have middle school. It was graduation day for Emerald and Vanilla's class. The graduation had already started, Feltsy, Tabbie, and Chocolate already had their diplomas, and Smasher was about to be handed his. Principal Glora called, "Smasher!" He then came up and grabbed the diploma and was almost tempted to smash it, but he realized that probably wouldn't be a good idea. "Emerald!" she called. Emerald then came up and got his diploma. She then called, "Vanilla!" and he came to get his as well. She then called, "Valentine Devil!" This time, however, no one came up. "Valentine Devil?" she called again. Once again, no one came up, but instead, something crashed in, knocking out Glora.
Seeing Glora knocked out, Ms. Fabulous, as well as the graduates besides Emerald and Vanilla screamed. It was none other than Swooper. "SERIOUSLY?! I KNOW I ENDED THIS GUY! HE FADED AWAY BEFORE MY OWN EYES!" Smasher shouted. Swooper then grabbed Glora and Ms. Fabulous and flew to the center of the stage in the field. "Hey there graduates! I'm here to tell you that if you want to save your precious teachers, then you must come and meet us in Ugly Mug within the next four plush weeks, or you can kiss both Glora and Ms. Fabulous goodbye!" he told them. He then began laughing and flew away with both of them, flying towards Ugly Mug. The students then continued to scream while Emerald and Vanilla were in shock with the fact that Swooper had returned.
After getting over the shock of it all, Emerald told Vanilla, "I think that me and you should go to save them." "I agree!" Vanilla replied. The other plushies then overheard what they were saying. Chocolate then added, "There's no way I'm letting you go alone!" Feltsy also joined in and told them, "They taught all of us, so I think that all of us together should go to save them!" "I agree!" Tabbie added. "ME TOO! I'LL SMASH THOSE FOOLS IN UGLY MUG BACK INTO NON-EXISTANCE WHERE THEY BELONG!" Smasher told them. "I suppose we can't argue with that." Vanilla told Emerald. Vanilla then told everyone, "I think that before we go to Ugly Mug, everyone should get prepared tonight. Me and Emerald will come up with some sort of battle plan." The other plushies agreed, and they then headed home.
That evening, Emerald and Vanilla got home to Mt. Treadmill where they were living with Mertle. "How was graduation?" Mertle asked them. "Swooper kidnapped the principal and Ms. Fabulous and told us that we have four weeks to go to Ugly Mug to save them or they'll be done for. Me and Emerald planned to go alone, but the other plushies insisted on joining us." Vanilla explained. "I think it's a good thing for you not to go alone this time." Mertle then told them. "How come?!" Emerald asked. "Sesaria, her family, and Bulldog are all alive again in Ugly Mug." Mertle told them. "What?! How?!" Emerald asked in shock. "I don't quite understand it myself, to be honest." Mertle told them. "So, what should we do?" Vanilla asked. "Train for tonight, and I'll get back to you on it tomorrow." Mertle responded. They then did strength training with the giant dumbbells that night.
The next day, Emerald and Vanilla walked towards the field near the Plush City to meet the other plushies, and Mertle decided to follow along. When the plushies met, Vanilla told them, "I have brought a certain plush to help us in our fight, and he has some pretty important things to tell us." The plushies then faced Mertle. "Hello. My name is Mertle. I need to make sure you are all aware that Sesaria, her family, as well as Bull-Nod Doggy are all alive in Ugly Mug Kitchen where Swooper took your teachers. It is very likely that they are working together, judging from the circumstances." Mertle told them. "So, what is the plan?" Feltsy asked. "Today, I will test each of your strengths in combat, except for Emerald and Vanilla, of course, since they already train with me." Mertle told them.
Mertle then said, "Chocolate, would you care to be the first to demonstrate your combat skills?" "Sure, but how do you know me that well?" she asked. "I heard about all of you from Vanilla. Now try to attack me." Mertle told her. "OK then!" Chocolate responded. She then lunged toward Mertle, but he quickly dodged and Chocolate fell on her face. "That's pretty disgraceful for a cat. You fail." Mertle told her. "Next, I call you, Feltsy." he then said. Feltsy then went to attack, but Mertle defeated him by jumping on him. "You don't even lift, do you? You fail." Mertle told him. He then called up Tabbie, who he defeated with a single tap. "Seriously? That's it? You fail." He told her. Mertle then looked at the three of them and told them, "You all are very weak. You couldn't even defeat a fly with that level of skill."
After defeating Chocolate, Feltsy, and Tabbie, Mertle looked over at Smasher. "So you were trained by Mega, right? I'm his teacher. I hope you don't disappoint me like these other weaklings." Mertle told him. Smasher then lunged at Mertle with his fists, but Mertle dodged. He continued trying his various smashing techniques, but not a single one was able to hit Mertle. Mertle then used his head. He headbutted Smasher and knocked him onto the ground. "It's clear to me that Mega didn't give you the proper training you need. You fail." Mertle told him. He then faced the other plushies and told them, "Emerald and Vanilla are both able to keep up with me, and so are some of the enemies. If you want to go to Ugly Mug, you all are coming with us to my home at Mt. Treadmill to train."
That evening, Mertle took them to Mt. Treadmill to train. "So, you have less than 4 weeks to train. As such, you will have less time to train than Emerald and Vanilla did. Regardless, I will try to teach you as much as possible. Now get on the treadmill." Mertle told them. "The mountain is the treadmill." Vanilla then told them. The four plushies got on, but fell off almost immediately, except for Smasher. "At least Mega trained him somewhat." Mertle remarked. After about a week, the others were able to stay on. Mertle then turned on the treadmill all the way. All of them fell off. "Now I see how well Mega's training worked for him." Mertle told himself. After two more weeks, they managed to stay on it at its max setting. "There's no way they're going to finish training in time! We have less than a week left!" Emerald yelled.
After the training on the treadmill, Mertle told them, "You should all be able to defeat the enemies in Ugly Mug now." "What?!" Emerald asked in shock. "They didn't even do the full training!" Vanilla added. "They shouldn't need it. This was all the training you needed to defeat Bulldog back then, remember?" Mertle reminded him. Mertle then faced the rest of the plushies. "Rest up for now. We only have five days, so tomorrow, we will stock up on vanilla beans for food and then we will head out the day after that." Mertle told them. "Why vanilla beans in particular though?" Tabbie asked him. "It'll help against a certain dinosaur. I'm sure Vanilla knows who I'm talking about." Mertle responded. They then rested that night, stocked up the next day, and were ready to head out the day after that.
The day after they stocked up on vanilla beans, they began heading towards the direction of Sky Mountain, following Mertle. "Why are we headed towards Sky Mountain?" Tabbie asked. "Ugly Mug Kitchen is north of Sky Mountain." Mertle answered. He then led them to a pass. "This path right here will take us out of Plush Land and into the unforgiving lands of Ugly Mug Kitchen. As soon as we leave the soft green grounds of this land and enter the cold, hard, and tan grounds of Ugly Mug, you better be on guard." Mertle told them. They understood and they walked through the pass. They then walked over a golden line that separated Plush Land from Ugly Mug and they walked onto the hard surface of the land known as Ugly Mug Kitchen, where their enemies would be waiting for them.
As they entered Ugly Mug, in the narrow pass on the way there, they ran into a familiar green dinosaur, which was Jumper. "Hi there! It's about time you showed up!" he told them. The others just walked by and ignored him. "Hey! I'm talking to you!" he tried to tell them. Tabbie then accidentally spilled her vanilla beans, and turned back to pick them up. "Oh no! I'm allergic to vanilla beans!" Jumper exclaimed. Jumper then looked around. "Oh look! There's tuna everywhere! I must be in Plush Heaven!" he said cheerfully. He then ate some of the beans. "Oh, I forgot. They're vanilla beans." he said. Jumper then died. "Wow. That dinosaur was really dumb." Tabbie then stated, dumbfounded. She went to pick up the rest of her beans.
The plushies then reached the turn point of Ugly Mug, next to a giant bowl of food. There, they saw Horns Jr. "I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS! I'LL CATCH UP WITH YOU WHEN I'M DONE HERE!" Smasher told the other plushies. The other plushies listened and went on. Horns Jr then charged at Smasher, but Smasher held him back with his fists. He then lifted the dinosaur with his arms, jumped up in the air with him, and slammed him to the ground as hard as he could. Horns Jr, after the slam, tried to limp to reach Smasher with the last of his strength, but Smasher then smashed him into oblivion, ending Horns Jr once again. Smasher then had to rest for a bit after slamming the dinosaur around so much.
After a bit of a turn, the plushies then reached another pass between a giant white tower and a giant platform held up by four wooden pillars. There, they met Gale, who tried to send a wave of poison at them, but they avoided it. "Let me take care of this guy!" Feltsy said. He then chased Gale under the platform and he followed, and the other plushies moved on. Underneath the platform, Gale tried to send another wave of poison at Feltsy, but he dodged and the poison, which is actually sink water, hit a certain giant sleeping tuxedo cat. It was the Top Predator once again. The Top Predator woke up and saw Gale and was very upset. He then slapped Gale so hard that there was no longer any "Gale" to speak of after the fact. He then ran off in frustration as Feltsy hid.
Right when Emerald, Vanilla, Mertle, and Chocolate were almost through the pass, they were stopped by the Valentine Devil. "So you came to join us too!" Chocolate said. "I'm here to end you in the name of my father, Bull-Nod Doggy!" Valentine Devil then told her. "I'll make you pay for those words!" Chocolate responded. She then attacked Valentine Devil with a slap, but Valentine Devil blocked it with his heart and then began to charge an attack with it as the heart glowed pink. When the heart then became really bright, he shouted, "HEARTBREAK CANNON!" and fired a pink laser at Chocolate, literally causing her heart to stop. Chocolate had lost a life. Seeing this, Vanilla got very upset. "Emerald and Mertle, go on without me. I'm going to make this traitor pay for what he's done." Vanilla told them.
After Emerald and Mertle moved on, Vanilla told Valentine Devil, "I don't care that you used to be one of my classmates. I will make you pay for what you have done, you traitor!" Vanilla told him before he charged at him. Valentine Devil used Heartbreak Cannon again, but Vanilla knocked it away with the energy in his feet. He then concentrated all of his energy towards his feet and jumped into the air and shouted, "VANILLA WAVE!" while creating a vanilla colored wave of energy underneath of him as he jumped over Valentine Devil. The energy from the attack overwhelmed Valentine Devil and caused him to get knocked out. The Top Predator then ran through and hit Valentine Devil, making him lose the life he was already on the verge of losing anyways. Vanilla then went to care for Chocolate.
After making it through the pass, Emerald and Vanilla finally made it to the open space of Ugly Mug, where they saw Sesaria and Bulldog. "It's about time you showed up Emerald!" Sesaria told him. "Because of you, we've had to suffer for years through things you don't even want to imagine! As such, we're going to make you pay for it!" Bulldog told him. They then both attacked him. Emerald tried to fire a Beauty Beam at Sesaria, but it wasn't effective, and Bulldog slapped him to the ground. Emerald tried to fire another Beauty Beam while Mertle tried to charge an attack. Sesaria body slammed Emerald and then, once she got up, Bulldog picked up Emerald with his jaws, chewed on him, thrashed him around, and dropped him once Emerald had passed out. Emerald had lost his first life.
After Emerald had lost his first life, Mertle's attack was almost finished charging. "You'll regret doing that." Mertle told them. "And what's an old turtle like you going to do?" Sesaria asked. Orange energy then formed around Mertle as he raised his head. "Wait, I know of this attack!" Bulldog whined, before running away. "What's your problem?! You coward!" Sesaria shouted at him. Mertle then shouted, "METEOR SHOWER!" before shooting the orange energy into the air. It then became a shower of energy focused on Sesaria that she had absolutely no way to avoid. It hit her at full force and it kept hitting her, even after she had already died. It kept going until Mertle finally got tired. Afterwards, the attack stopped.
After Sesaria had died, Bulldog snuck his way back, and Mertle had passed out. With both Emerald and Mertle down, Bulldog cheered, "I win!" and right before he could jump for joy, Emerald got up. "Oh, that's right, you still have two lives left." Bulldog said in realization. But then, someone then him, "But Emerald's not alone!" Emerald and Bulldog turned. It was Vanilla, and with him was Tabbie, Feltsy, and Smasher. "I'll take you all down then!" Bulldog then shouted. He tried to go for Feltsy, but Feltsy slipped underneath him using his thin body, while Vanilla used a Vanilla Wave, knocking him to the ground. Then, Smasher jumped into the air and smashed Bulldog in the face, before Emerald used Beauty Beam to finish him off, ending Bull-Nod Doggy, for good this time.
After the defeat of Bulldog, the plushies went to look for where the teachers were, and found an area with a mountain that had a giant plastic rectangular box at the top. By the box, Swooper was with the teachers, and pressed a giant button on the box, causing a big door to open. The plushies quickly climbed up to stop him. Then, right before Swooper was about to close the door to the box after making the teachers get in there, the plushies reached the top. "Stop!" Vanilla demanded. "And I was finally about to know what it's like to microwave a cat! Why do you always have to ruin my fun?" Swooper asked. Tabbie then pushed Swooper and fell off the mountain with him while the other plushies got the teachers out of the giant microwave, and afterwards, climbed down the mountain together.
After they climbed down the mountain, the plushies saw Tabbie sitting on top of Swooper, who was dead. "You survived?" Feltsy asked. "Swooper broke my fall. I think I broke his body though in the process." Tabbie responded. They then walked through Ugly Mug, met up with Chocolate, and walked their way back to Plush Land. Eventually, they made their way back to the field, where they dropped the teachers off. "Thank you so much!" Ms. Fabulous told them. "I don't know how we could ever reward you!" Glora added. The plushies then looked at each other. "I guess it's time for us to go our separate ways." Vanilla said. "I guess so." Tabbie replied. "WELL, I'M GOING TO GO! I'M SURE MEGA'S WORRIED ABOUT ME!" Smasher added before he left. Tabbie and Feltsy then left as well.
Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle were about to leave, after saying their goodbyes to the teachers, but then Chocolate walked up to them. "Um, Mertle?" Chocolate asked them, sort of quietly. "What is it?" Mertle asked. "...Do you think it would be okay if I trained with you, Emerald, and Vanilla?" she asked. "Of course it would be! Just don't think I'm going to make it easy on you!" Mertle told her. "Thank you so much!" Chocolate joyfully replied. They then walked home together, with Chocolate walking close to Vanilla. In his head, Mertle thought, "If only he knew what her actual reason for coming with us was. Oh well, he's still a young cat. I'm sure he'll figure it out eventually." They would train together at Mt. Treadmill for days and weeks to come, until the next chapter of their lives would unfold before them.
After Bulldog died again, he saw the Creator, who appeared to be very upset with him. "So, a someone told me that you had escaped from the Plush Underworld." they told him. "So, are you going to send me back?" Bulldog asked them. "While I have sent Sesaria and the others back since they didn't cause any significant damage when they escaped, you, on the other hand, did cause a plush to lose one of their lives." the Creator told him. "So, what does that mean?" Bulldog asked. "It means that this time, you're not going anywhere." the Creator answered. "So you're sending me back to Ugly Mug?" Bulldog asked. "No. I'm not sending you anywhere. You will not exist anywhere. Prepare to be de-created!" the Creator told him with anger in his voice. The Creator then ripped the soul from Bulldog's body and absorbed it into their cloak, before ripping Bulldog's body to shreds.
It had been four plush years, though for those in the Plush Underworld, it had felt like a lot longer. Bulldog, who had previously been alone ran into someone. It was Sesaria and her family. "How did you end up in this horrible place?!" Sesaria asked Bulldog. "The Creator didn't seem to like me killing Delicious very much." he told her. "You killed Delicious? Hey, I know we're already dead, but I think that makes us allies in my book!" Sesaria told him. "I wish I could make Emerald pay for making me end up here though!" Bulldog shouted. "Same here!" Sesaria shouted in response. A mysterious and ominous voice then came from above. "Then I'll make a deal with you." it said. "Who are you?!" Sesaria and Bulldog asked.
After Bulldog and Sesaria asked who the voice was, it replied, "Allow me to introduce myself." Someone then descended. It was a light rainbow colored plush bear with black eyes that stood on its hind legs. "My name is Rainbow. I, like you, am a plush that the Creator sent here." the bear told them. "How come?" Bulldog asked. "It was after a fight with my old enemy, Mega. I lost and the Creator sealed me away here. Of course, there's a way I can help you if you help me." Rainbow told them. "How is that?" Sesaria asked. "If you can promise to defeat Mega after you defeat Emerald, I will teleport you down to Ugly Mug. If you fail, however, I will tell the Creator about you escaping. Knowing this, will you accept?" Rainbow told them. "Yes!" Sesaria and Bulldog responded. "Then so be it." Rainbow responded. He then teleported them.
It was now the end of Emerald and Vanilla's last year at Plush High School, which was four plush years after Bulldog's defeat since plushies didn't have middle school. It was graduation day for Emerald and Vanilla's class. The graduation had already started, Feltsy, Tabbie, and Chocolate already had their diplomas, and Smasher was about to be handed his. Principal Glora called, "Smasher!" He then came up and grabbed the diploma and was almost tempted to smash it, but he realized that probably wouldn't be a good idea. "Emerald!" she called. Emerald then came up and got his diploma. She then called, "Vanilla!" and he came to get his as well. She then called, "Valentine Devil!" This time, however, no one came up. "Valentine Devil?" she called again. Once again, no one came up, but instead, something crashed in, knocking out Glora.
Seeing Glora knocked out, Ms. Fabulous, as well as the graduates besides Emerald and Vanilla screamed. It was none other than Swooper. "SERIOUSLY?! I KNOW I ENDED THIS GUY! HE FADED AWAY BEFORE MY OWN EYES!" Smasher shouted. Swooper then grabbed Glora and Ms. Fabulous and flew to the center of the stage in the field. "Hey there graduates! I'm here to tell you that if you want to save your precious teachers, then you must come and meet us in Ugly Mug within the next four plush weeks, or you can kiss both Glora and Ms. Fabulous goodbye!" he told them. He then began laughing and flew away with both of them, flying towards Ugly Mug. The students then continued to scream while Emerald and Vanilla were in shock with the fact that Swooper had returned.
After getting over the shock of it all, Emerald told Vanilla, "I think that me and you should go to save them." "I agree!" Vanilla replied. The other plushies then overheard what they were saying. Chocolate then added, "There's no way I'm letting you go alone!" Feltsy also joined in and told them, "They taught all of us, so I think that all of us together should go to save them!" "I agree!" Tabbie added. "ME TOO! I'LL SMASH THOSE FOOLS IN UGLY MUG BACK INTO NON-EXISTANCE WHERE THEY BELONG!" Smasher told them. "I suppose we can't argue with that." Vanilla told Emerald. Vanilla then told everyone, "I think that before we go to Ugly Mug, everyone should get prepared tonight. Me and Emerald will come up with some sort of battle plan." The other plushies agreed, and they then headed home.
That evening, Emerald and Vanilla got home to Mt. Treadmill where they were living with Mertle. "How was graduation?" Mertle asked them. "Swooper kidnapped the principal and Ms. Fabulous and told us that we have four weeks to go to Ugly Mug to save them or they'll be done for. Me and Emerald planned to go alone, but the other plushies insisted on joining us." Vanilla explained. "I think it's a good thing for you not to go alone this time." Mertle then told them. "How come?!" Emerald asked. "Sesaria, her family, and Bulldog are all alive again in Ugly Mug." Mertle told them. "What?! How?!" Emerald asked in shock. "I don't quite understand it myself, to be honest." Mertle told them. "So, what should we do?" Vanilla asked. "Train for tonight, and I'll get back to you on it tomorrow." Mertle responded. They then did strength training with the giant dumbbells that night.
The next day, Emerald and Vanilla walked towards the field near the Plush City to meet the other plushies, and Mertle decided to follow along. When the plushies met, Vanilla told them, "I have brought a certain plush to help us in our fight, and he has some pretty important things to tell us." The plushies then faced Mertle. "Hello. My name is Mertle. I need to make sure you are all aware that Sesaria, her family, as well as Bull-Nod Doggy are all alive in Ugly Mug Kitchen where Swooper took your teachers. It is very likely that they are working together, judging from the circumstances." Mertle told them. "So, what is the plan?" Feltsy asked. "Today, I will test each of your strengths in combat, except for Emerald and Vanilla, of course, since they already train with me." Mertle told them.
Mertle then said, "Chocolate, would you care to be the first to demonstrate your combat skills?" "Sure, but how do you know me that well?" she asked. "I heard about all of you from Vanilla. Now try to attack me." Mertle told her. "OK then!" Chocolate responded. She then lunged toward Mertle, but he quickly dodged and Chocolate fell on her face. "That's pretty disgraceful for a cat. You fail." Mertle told her. "Next, I call you, Feltsy." he then said. Feltsy then went to attack, but Mertle defeated him by jumping on him. "You don't even lift, do you? You fail." Mertle told him. He then called up Tabbie, who he defeated with a single tap. "Seriously? That's it? You fail." He told her. Mertle then looked at the three of them and told them, "You all are very weak. You couldn't even defeat a fly with that level of skill."
After defeating Chocolate, Feltsy, and Tabbie, Mertle looked over at Smasher. "So you were trained by Mega, right? I'm his teacher. I hope you don't disappoint me like these other weaklings." Mertle told him. Smasher then lunged at Mertle with his fists, but Mertle dodged. He continued trying his various smashing techniques, but not a single one was able to hit Mertle. Mertle then used his head. He headbutted Smasher and knocked him onto the ground. "It's clear to me that Mega didn't give you the proper training you need. You fail." Mertle told him. He then faced the other plushies and told them, "Emerald and Vanilla are both able to keep up with me, and so are some of the enemies. If you want to go to Ugly Mug, you all are coming with us to my home at Mt. Treadmill to train."
That evening, Mertle took them to Mt. Treadmill to train. "So, you have less than 4 weeks to train. As such, you will have less time to train than Emerald and Vanilla did. Regardless, I will try to teach you as much as possible. Now get on the treadmill." Mertle told them. "The mountain is the treadmill." Vanilla then told them. The four plushies got on, but fell off almost immediately, except for Smasher. "At least Mega trained him somewhat." Mertle remarked. After about a week, the others were able to stay on. Mertle then turned on the treadmill all the way. All of them fell off. "Now I see how well Mega's training worked for him." Mertle told himself. After two more weeks, they managed to stay on it at its max setting. "There's no way they're going to finish training in time! We have less than a week left!" Emerald yelled.
After the training on the treadmill, Mertle told them, "You should all be able to defeat the enemies in Ugly Mug now." "What?!" Emerald asked in shock. "They didn't even do the full training!" Vanilla added. "They shouldn't need it. This was all the training you needed to defeat Bulldog back then, remember?" Mertle reminded him. Mertle then faced the rest of the plushies. "Rest up for now. We only have five days, so tomorrow, we will stock up on vanilla beans for food and then we will head out the day after that." Mertle told them. "Why vanilla beans in particular though?" Tabbie asked him. "It'll help against a certain dinosaur. I'm sure Vanilla knows who I'm talking about." Mertle responded. They then rested that night, stocked up the next day, and were ready to head out the day after that.
The day after they stocked up on vanilla beans, they began heading towards the direction of Sky Mountain, following Mertle. "Why are we headed towards Sky Mountain?" Tabbie asked. "Ugly Mug Kitchen is north of Sky Mountain." Mertle answered. He then led them to a pass. "This path right here will take us out of Plush Land and into the unforgiving lands of Ugly Mug Kitchen. As soon as we leave the soft green grounds of this land and enter the cold, hard, and tan grounds of Ugly Mug, you better be on guard." Mertle told them. They understood and they walked through the pass. They then walked over a golden line that separated Plush Land from Ugly Mug and they walked onto the hard surface of the land known as Ugly Mug Kitchen, where their enemies would be waiting for them.
As they entered Ugly Mug, in the narrow pass on the way there, they ran into a familiar green dinosaur, which was Jumper. "Hi there! It's about time you showed up!" he told them. The others just walked by and ignored him. "Hey! I'm talking to you!" he tried to tell them. Tabbie then accidentally spilled her vanilla beans, and turned back to pick them up. "Oh no! I'm allergic to vanilla beans!" Jumper exclaimed. Jumper then looked around. "Oh look! There's tuna everywhere! I must be in Plush Heaven!" he said cheerfully. He then ate some of the beans. "Oh, I forgot. They're vanilla beans." he said. Jumper then died. "Wow. That dinosaur was really dumb." Tabbie then stated, dumbfounded. She went to pick up the rest of her beans.
The plushies then reached the turn point of Ugly Mug, next to a giant bowl of food. There, they saw Horns Jr. "I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS! I'LL CATCH UP WITH YOU WHEN I'M DONE HERE!" Smasher told the other plushies. The other plushies listened and went on. Horns Jr then charged at Smasher, but Smasher held him back with his fists. He then lifted the dinosaur with his arms, jumped up in the air with him, and slammed him to the ground as hard as he could. Horns Jr, after the slam, tried to limp to reach Smasher with the last of his strength, but Smasher then smashed him into oblivion, ending Horns Jr once again. Smasher then had to rest for a bit after slamming the dinosaur around so much.
After a bit of a turn, the plushies then reached another pass between a giant white tower and a giant platform held up by four wooden pillars. There, they met Gale, who tried to send a wave of poison at them, but they avoided it. "Let me take care of this guy!" Feltsy said. He then chased Gale under the platform and he followed, and the other plushies moved on. Underneath the platform, Gale tried to send another wave of poison at Feltsy, but he dodged and the poison, which is actually sink water, hit a certain giant sleeping tuxedo cat. It was the Top Predator once again. The Top Predator woke up and saw Gale and was very upset. He then slapped Gale so hard that there was no longer any "Gale" to speak of after the fact. He then ran off in frustration as Feltsy hid.
Right when Emerald, Vanilla, Mertle, and Chocolate were almost through the pass, they were stopped by the Valentine Devil. "So you came to join us too!" Chocolate said. "I'm here to end you in the name of my father, Bull-Nod Doggy!" Valentine Devil then told her. "I'll make you pay for those words!" Chocolate responded. She then attacked Valentine Devil with a slap, but Valentine Devil blocked it with his heart and then began to charge an attack with it as the heart glowed pink. When the heart then became really bright, he shouted, "HEARTBREAK CANNON!" and fired a pink laser at Chocolate, literally causing her heart to stop. Chocolate had lost a life. Seeing this, Vanilla got very upset. "Emerald and Mertle, go on without me. I'm going to make this traitor pay for what he's done." Vanilla told them.
After Emerald and Mertle moved on, Vanilla told Valentine Devil, "I don't care that you used to be one of my classmates. I will make you pay for what you have done, you traitor!" Vanilla told him before he charged at him. Valentine Devil used Heartbreak Cannon again, but Vanilla knocked it away with the energy in his feet. He then concentrated all of his energy towards his feet and jumped into the air and shouted, "VANILLA WAVE!" while creating a vanilla colored wave of energy underneath of him as he jumped over Valentine Devil. The energy from the attack overwhelmed Valentine Devil and caused him to get knocked out. The Top Predator then ran through and hit Valentine Devil, making him lose the life he was already on the verge of losing anyways. Vanilla then went to care for Chocolate.
After making it through the pass, Emerald and Vanilla finally made it to the open space of Ugly Mug, where they saw Sesaria and Bulldog. "It's about time you showed up Emerald!" Sesaria told him. "Because of you, we've had to suffer for years through things you don't even want to imagine! As such, we're going to make you pay for it!" Bulldog told him. They then both attacked him. Emerald tried to fire a Beauty Beam at Sesaria, but it wasn't effective, and Bulldog slapped him to the ground. Emerald tried to fire another Beauty Beam while Mertle tried to charge an attack. Sesaria body slammed Emerald and then, once she got up, Bulldog picked up Emerald with his jaws, chewed on him, thrashed him around, and dropped him once Emerald had passed out. Emerald had lost his first life.
After Emerald had lost his first life, Mertle's attack was almost finished charging. "You'll regret doing that." Mertle told them. "And what's an old turtle like you going to do?" Sesaria asked. Orange energy then formed around Mertle as he raised his head. "Wait, I know of this attack!" Bulldog whined, before running away. "What's your problem?! You coward!" Sesaria shouted at him. Mertle then shouted, "METEOR SHOWER!" before shooting the orange energy into the air. It then became a shower of energy focused on Sesaria that she had absolutely no way to avoid. It hit her at full force and it kept hitting her, even after she had already died. It kept going until Mertle finally got tired. Afterwards, the attack stopped.
After Sesaria had died, Bulldog snuck his way back, and Mertle had passed out. With both Emerald and Mertle down, Bulldog cheered, "I win!" and right before he could jump for joy, Emerald got up. "Oh, that's right, you still have two lives left." Bulldog said in realization. But then, someone then him, "But Emerald's not alone!" Emerald and Bulldog turned. It was Vanilla, and with him was Tabbie, Feltsy, and Smasher. "I'll take you all down then!" Bulldog then shouted. He tried to go for Feltsy, but Feltsy slipped underneath him using his thin body, while Vanilla used a Vanilla Wave, knocking him to the ground. Then, Smasher jumped into the air and smashed Bulldog in the face, before Emerald used Beauty Beam to finish him off, ending Bull-Nod Doggy, for good this time.
After the defeat of Bulldog, the plushies went to look for where the teachers were, and found an area with a mountain that had a giant plastic rectangular box at the top. By the box, Swooper was with the teachers, and pressed a giant button on the box, causing a big door to open. The plushies quickly climbed up to stop him. Then, right before Swooper was about to close the door to the box after making the teachers get in there, the plushies reached the top. "Stop!" Vanilla demanded. "And I was finally about to know what it's like to microwave a cat! Why do you always have to ruin my fun?" Swooper asked. Tabbie then pushed Swooper and fell off the mountain with him while the other plushies got the teachers out of the giant microwave, and afterwards, climbed down the mountain together.
After they climbed down the mountain, the plushies saw Tabbie sitting on top of Swooper, who was dead. "You survived?" Feltsy asked. "Swooper broke my fall. I think I broke his body though in the process." Tabbie responded. They then walked through Ugly Mug, met up with Chocolate, and walked their way back to Plush Land. Eventually, they made their way back to the field, where they dropped the teachers off. "Thank you so much!" Ms. Fabulous told them. "I don't know how we could ever reward you!" Glora added. The plushies then looked at each other. "I guess it's time for us to go our separate ways." Vanilla said. "I guess so." Tabbie replied. "WELL, I'M GOING TO GO! I'M SURE MEGA'S WORRIED ABOUT ME!" Smasher added before he left. Tabbie and Feltsy then left as well.
Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle were about to leave, after saying their goodbyes to the teachers, but then Chocolate walked up to them. "Um, Mertle?" Chocolate asked them, sort of quietly. "What is it?" Mertle asked. "...Do you think it would be okay if I trained with you, Emerald, and Vanilla?" she asked. "Of course it would be! Just don't think I'm going to make it easy on you!" Mertle told her. "Thank you so much!" Chocolate joyfully replied. They then walked home together, with Chocolate walking close to Vanilla. In his head, Mertle thought, "If only he knew what her actual reason for coming with us was. Oh well, he's still a young cat. I'm sure he'll figure it out eventually." They would train together at Mt. Treadmill for days and weeks to come, until the next chapter of their lives would unfold before them.
After Bulldog died again, he saw the Creator, who appeared to be very upset with him. "So, a someone told me that you had escaped from the Plush Underworld." they told him. "So, are you going to send me back?" Bulldog asked them. "While I have sent Sesaria and the others back since they didn't cause any significant damage when they escaped, you, on the other hand, did cause a plush to lose one of their lives." the Creator told him. "So, what does that mean?" Bulldog asked. "It means that this time, you're not going anywhere." the Creator answered. "So you're sending me back to Ugly Mug?" Bulldog asked. "No. I'm not sending you anywhere. You will not exist anywhere. Prepare to be de-created!" the Creator told him with anger in his voice. The Creator then ripped the soul from Bulldog's body and absorbed it into their cloak, before ripping Bulldog's body to shreds.
Mini Part: King Tornado II's Story
Before Sesaria, there was King Horns, and before King Horns was the second king of Dinosaur Valley, King Tornado II. He was a massive dinosaur with an incredibly long tail. He caused fear in the cats whenever he attacked and was known as the most fearsome of all the dinosaurs, chewing up the cats, destroying areas with his tail alone, and making it so the cats could barely hold Plush Land together. Just when all hope seemed lost, however, a young hero arrived on the scene. It was Delicious. With his strength and his ability, Beauty Beam, he managed to finally topple the fearsome ruler and make him lose his last life. Afterwards, King Tornado II would go to the Plush Underworld and the Plush Land we know today would form. Of course, with the help of a certain plush, King Tornado II's story wasn't over just yet.
Part 5: Attack of King Bones
In the Plush Underworld was King Tornado II. He had been in there for many plush years, and there, he had lost all of his skin and was nothing more than bones, except for his blue eyes, which somehow survived. One day, a voice spoke to him. "Hello King Tornado II. I would like to make a deal with you." they said. "Who are you?" the former king asked. A certain plush bear then descended and told him, "I am Rainbow. I can bring you back to Plush Land if you do a favor for me in return." "What would that be?" King Tornado II asked. "I would like you to defeat the plushies known as Emerald and Vanilla. They are interfering with my plans." Rainbow told him. "What about Delicious?" the king asked him. "He's dead. Emerald and Vanilla are his children." Rainbow responded. "Well, I guess I can still get my revenge then!" the king told him.
It had been two plush months since Sesaria and Bulldog were defeated in Ugly Mug. In the Plush City, everyone was enjoying life as usual, and King Lion decided to go out on a stroll that day. It was all fine until suddenly, out of nowhere, they heard a roar. The plushies then began to scream and run for cover. "A dinosaur? That can't be right. Didn't Emerald and the others make them go extinct?" King Lion asked. Very quickly, a massive dinosaur that was nothing but bones arrived. "It's a bone dinosaur!" King Lion shouted. "That's King Bones to you!" the dinosaur told him in response. Then, suddenly, a certain action figure arrived to the action. "GO HIDE NOW, KING! I'LL SMASH THIS GUY!" he told King Lion. It was Smasher. "There no way I'm letting you get away!" King Bones told King Lion.
After what he said, King Bones proceeded to stomp on King Lion, ending the king's life. Then, Queen Ann arrived at the scene. "HURRY! TAKE THE KING TO SAFETY AND GET HELP FROM EMERALD AND THE OTHERS!" Smasher told her. She listened and took King Lion back to the palace. Smasher then lunged at him, saying, "PREPARE TO GO DOWN!" Instead, he ended up falling to the ground and King Bones was no longer there. Smasher then got up and saw him running. He was running towards Dinosaur Valley. "YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! GET OUT OF HERE YOU COWARD!" Smasher shouted at him. By the time he shouted this, King Bones was already out of sight. Then, Queen Ann began to leave the Plush City to head towards Mt. Treadmill, to get help before the dinosaur would return.
That day, Emerald and Vanilla were doing teamwork training while Chocolate was doing strength training, until Ann arrived at where they were located. Chocolate immediately halted her training and shouted, "Mom!" before running to her. Emerald and Vanilla then followed. "Hello Queen Ann. I have predicted your arrival." Mertle told her. Queen Ann was a light brown and white cat with amber eyes. "How did you predict this?" Vanilla asked. Mertle then asked Queen Ann, "Did a bone dinosaur attack?" "Yes! He ended up ending my husband's second life before running towards Dinosaur Valley!" Ann told him. "So what I have seen is correct then. King Tornado II has returned." Mertle then stated. "You mean, that King Tornado II?!" Ann asked in shock. "That's right. The second ruler of the dinosaurs, King Tornado II." Mertle told her.
"What should we do?! If this dinosaur really is King Tornado II, then we're finished since Delicious is no longer with us!" Ann asked Mertle in panic. "You're right. Delicious is no longer with us." Mertle began before turning to Emerald and Vanilla and adding, "But, now we have a new generation of heroes that I think are more than up to the task. Introduce yourselves." "My name is Vanilla!" Vanilla told her. "And I'm Emerald the bunny!" Emerald added. "And I'm sure you already know Chocolate, since she's your own daughter, though she still has some work to do before she's on the same level as Delicious was." Mertle explained to Ann. "Do you think we should go to Dinosaur Valley to stop this dinosaur?" Vanilla asked. "Yes, I do, but you should be careful, as I cannot go with you." Mertle told them.
"What do you mean you can't come with us?!" Emerald asked Mertle in surprise. "I have a meeting with a certain someone today. They will be very disappointed if I'm not here." Mertle responded. "Who could be so important that you're not willing to fight such a threat alongside us?" Vanilla asked. "The Creator." Mertle then told him. "I see. I guess there isn't much that can be done about that then." Ann responded. Ann then turned to Emerald and the others and requested, "I'm sure I can rely on you three to defeat this horrible dinosaur, right?" They agreed. "Let's go to Dinosaur Valley then!" Emerald told the others. The three then left from Mt. Treadmill. Queen Ann then turned to Mertle and told him, "I guess I'll leave to check on my husband then." She then left. Mertle then told himself, "I hope Mega didn't eat the wet food again."
At that very same time, Mega was in Ugly Mug Kitchen staring at the giant bowl of food when the Creator stopped him. "Mega, did you eat the Top Predator's food yesterday? I fed him earlier yesterday, and as soon as I checked again, the food was gone even though the Top Predator was sleeping the entire time." they told him. "I'm sorry. I was being greedy, I know." Mega responded. "You do remember that I set your food in Plush Heaven, right?" the Creator asked. "Yes, I do." Mega responded. "Good. Don't do it again. It's a pain for me to have to get more food all the time." the Creator told him. The Creator then left. "I guess I better head back to Plush Land." Mega told himself. He then flew back to Plush Land, and saw King Bones in Dinosaur Valley. "Oh great. What's going on now?" Mega asked himself before flying down.
Mega flew down into Dinosaur Valley and asked, "Are you King Tornado II?" "I go by King Bones now!" he told him. "Right, okay. So how did you escape the Plush Underworld?" he then asked. "I am not allowed to say." King Bones responded. "Not allowed? Okay then. I'm just wondering. I'll be headed to Mt. Treadmill now since I have a meeting with Mertle and the Creator soon, okay?" Mega told King Bones. "Um, okay?" King Bones replied. Before he could say anything else, Mega was already gone. "Hey, where did you go?!" he asked. He then ran towards the Plush City, leaving Dinosaur Valley empty once again.
Emerald, Vanilla, and Chocolate were walking through the Plush City to get to Dinosaur Valley when King Bones suddenly ran into the city. "Where did that black cat go?!" he roared. The other plushies of Plush City then ran to hide again. "Black cat?" Vanilla asked. "Is he referring to Mega?" Emerald asked Vanilla. "I don't think that's important right now! The dinosaur is right here!" Chocolate told them. "True." Vanilla replied. Emerald and Vanilla attacked, but King Bones dodged and slapped Emerald back with his tail. Vanilla then shouted, "VANILLA WAVE!" before using his special attack on the dinosaur. King Bones then stood on the tip of his tail and began using it to spin. "BONENADO!" he shouted as he spun at a high speed and slammed into Vanilla, ending the plush siamese cat's second life.
Afterwards, Chocolate shouted, "Vanilla!" and ran to him. She then ran towards the palace to get him to safety. "Oh no you don't!" King Bones said before he got on his tail. Emerald then got in the way and shot a Beauty Beam at him, causing him to fall down onto his side. King Bones was then unable to get up. "Oh no! This is just like Delicious all over again!" King Bones complained. Suddenly, a giant tuxedo cat came running into the Plush City and slapped King Bones into oblivion. "All rig-!" Emerald began to say, before he ended up getting slapped by the Top Predator as well. Emerald had lost his second life, but King Bones had lost the only one he had. After the Top Predator left, Chocolate saw what had happened. "Emerald!" she shouted.
When Emerald and Vanilla woke up, they were in a room in what appeared to be a giant wooden tower. Vanilla looked around, saw Chocolate, and asked, "Where are we?" "This is the Plush Palace. You were defeated by King Bones. Emerald managed to topple him and the Top Predator finished the job." Chocolate responded before she turned to Emerald and added, "...Unfortunately, the Top Predator decided to take one of Emerald's lives as well." King Lion then arrived and told them, "Thank you two so much for saving Plush Land from that horrible dinosaur. You three truly are heroes." Emerald and Vanilla were glad, but Chocolate was quite surprised. "Yes, you're a hero as well, Chocolate. You saved these two over here, did you not?" King Lion then added. "I suppose so." Chocolate responded.
That evening, as Emerald, Vanilla, and Chocolate were walking back towards Mt. Treadmill, Chocolate stopped the other two. "Um, I'm really starting to get worried about you two." she told them. "How come?" Vanilla asked her. "You two do realize that you are on your final lives now, right?" Chocolate asked them. "What's your point?" Emerald asked. "If you end up losing the life you’re on now, you won't be with us anymore. You'll be gone in Plush Heaven." Chocolate replied. Chocolate then got close to both of them. "So, please promise me something." she then told them. "What is it?" Vanilla asked. She grabbed the both of them and pulled them towards her and hugged them, and as she was doing so, she told them, while crying, "Please don't ever do anything so dangerous ever again. I can't bear to lose the two of you. Please, I beg of you!"
As Chocolate was holding Emerald and Vanilla, Mega was walking by and noticed them. "What wrong?" Mega asked them. "These two are on their last lives!" Chocolate told him. "Really? I know these two have been in battle quite a bit for their age. Of course, I know what you can do if you want to help them survive more battles." Mega told her. "Really?" Chocolate asked. "Yes." Mega replied. "What is it?" Chocolate asked. "Hmm... Actually, on second thought, it might be a bit too risky. Most plushies who do it end up never returning, even if they had all of their lives going in. Just forget I said anything." Mega told her. "Thanks..." Chocolate then said as Mega walked away. As Mega was walking away, he thought to himself, "Maybe I should talk to Mertle about this when the time is right. That time, however, is not now." Mega then flew away.
When they got back to Mt. Treadmill, Emerald and Vanilla went to train while Chocolate went to express her concerns to Mertle. "What should we do? Emerald and Vanilla are on their final lives now! If they die even one more time, they'll be gone for good." Chocolate told him. "I too, have realized this. For now, you three should continue training as I look into this. That is all that can really be done for right now." Mertle responded. Chocolate then started feeling really down and got very worried. She looked up to the air and wished for there to be some way to help Emerald and Vanilla. Mertle then walked away to think. Life would be normal for them for three more plush months while Mertle would seek answers.
It had been two plush months since Sesaria and Bulldog were defeated in Ugly Mug. In the Plush City, everyone was enjoying life as usual, and King Lion decided to go out on a stroll that day.

Part 6: The Path for Lives
During the three months that Emerald, Vanilla, and Chocolate were training, one day, Mertle made his way to the Temple of Mega. "Hey there Mertle!" Jeremy said. "What brings you here?" Mega asked. "I've heard that you brought up a way for Emerald and Vanilla to live longer to Chocolate, but refused to tell her due to how dangerous it is. Were you referring to what I'm thinking of?" Mertle asked. "I am indeed." Mega told him. "So, the treacherous climb?" Mertle asked. "Indeed. Many plushies have went, but most have not survived. Only one plush has lived to tell the tale, and he has become known as the plush with nine lives. However, he has went missing quite some time ago." Mega told him. "I see." Mertle said. He then began climbing down. "I hope you have a good day Mega." Mertle told him. "Okay then!" Mega responded.
Three plush months after the defeat of King Bones, Emerald and Vanilla were doing strength training and Chocolate was running on the treadmill, before Mertle asked them to stop. "Why did you have us stop?" Vanilla asked. "I have something important I need to tell the three of you." Mertle told them. "What is it?" Chocolate asked. "It is about time I told you about what Mega was talking about back then." Mertle responded. They then sat still and listened. "There is a treacherous path where no plushies have returned from after they went through, except for one. That plush who had gone through the path and came back alive came back without losing any of his three original lives, but came back with six more. He confirmed that what was at the end of the path was what gave him those lives." Mertle told them.
"Is that plush still around?" Chocolate asked. "That plush left Plush Land a long time ago. No one knows what happened to him after he left. Not even me." Mertle told her. "Regardless of where that plush went to after their return, I think if we could make this journey ourselves, maybe we can help defend Plush Land for more time to come, don't you agree Emerald?" Vanilla remarked. Emerald nodded in agreement. Chocolate then grabbed the both of them and cried, "There's no way I'll let you do something so dangerous! What will we do if you two lost your last life before you make the journey?! Only one plush who has gone on the journey survived! What makes you think I'll let you two do something like that?!" "That's why I'll be going with them too." Mertle told her. "What?!" Emerald asked in shock.
"You're going too?!" Vanilla asked Mertle. "I figured it would be safer if I went with you. Besides, I have two lives left, not just one." Mertle told them. "Then I'll go too! I have two lives as well!" Chocolate said. "No! You must stay here. If something happens to us, we need someone who will be here to defend Plush Land and let the other plushies know what has happened." Mertle told her in a serious tone. "I understand. I'm going to be worried sick about you three though." Chocolate responded. "Neither of us plan on kicking the bucket anytime soon, isn't that right Emerald and Vanilla?" Mertle then stated. They nodded. "Please come back safely." Chocolate told them. "We will! That's a promise!" Emerald told her. "And as long as we're together, we won't let anything take us down!" Vanilla added.
"I hope you three stay safe." Chocolate told Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle as they left. The three then walked to the Plush City. "Stay right here. I'm going to stock up on food." Mertle told the other two. He went into the city and came out with a huge bag of vanilla beans. "That thing's huge!" Emerald shouted. "This is going to be a long and hard journey. We're going to need a lot of food if we want to be able to survive this." Mertle told them. The bag of vanilla beans was far larger than all three of them combined. It might have even been almost as large as King Bones, but not quite as large as him. Despite this, Mertle carried the huge bag and led the other two into Ugly Mug Kitchen all the way into the open area. "Hey! This is where we fought Bulldog and Sesaria!" Emerald said.
Once they reached the open area of Ugly Mug, Mertle turned to a path parallel to the path they came from at the other side of the giant platform. "You see this other path here?" Mertle asked them. "Is that the path?" Emerald asked. "That is the way to the path. Follow me." Mertle responded. They then walked through the path between the giant platform and a tall brown mountain. When they reached the end, they saw a ledge. "This is where the path begins." Mertle explained. They looked up and saw a huge climb. "Woah! That's going to be pretty tough!" Emerald shouted. At that moment, someone walked towards them and told them, "Halt!" The three then stopped and turned to see who it was, and they recognized him immediately. It was none other than the Valentine Devil.
"Traitor!" Vanilla shouted when he saw Valentine Devil emerge. "The days of me working under Bulldog are long since gone. I now guard this path after the previous guardian has stepped down." Valentine Devil told them. "So, what are the requirements for us to pass?" Mertle asked him. "It is a test of your heart." Valentine Devil told them. "A test of our heart?" Vanilla asked. "A test to see if your heart is filled with good intentions. Of course, if you fail, you will die and immediately go to the Plush Underworld. Of course, if you are afraid to take the test, you could always turn back now. It's not too late." Valentine Devil told them. "We won't back down!" Emerald shouted. "We're doing this for those we hold dear! There's no way we can back down now!" Vanilla added. "Then so be it." Valentine Devil replied.
Valentine Devil then fired a white beam out of his heart at Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle and entered their thoughts. First, he started with Emerald. "So, Emerald wishes to help defend Plush Land from future threats from the bottom of his heart." he said. He then went to Vanilla. "Vanilla wishes to ease the worries that plushies have towards him and Emerald defending Plush Land. Especially for Chocolate, it seems." he said, Finally, Valentine Devil went to Mertle. "So Mertle is simply trying to protect the other two from being killed." he said. He then left from their thoughts and came back to his body. "Your intentions seem pure enough. You may pass. ...If you can even climb this path, that is." Valentine Devil told them. They then went toward the cliff and began to climb it.
After six plush hours of climbing, they made it to the top of the first cliff, and they saw another cliff that was just as tall. "Really?" Emerald complained. They then ate and continued up the next cliff, which took them seven plush hours, as they were more exhausted. "How many of these cliffs are there?" Vanilla asked. "Twelve, if I remember correctly. There's a condo at the top of the next cliff we can rest on, so let's not stop quite yet." Mertle responded. They then climbed the third cliff, which took them eight plush hours. When they reached the top, they saw a giant red fluffy tower. "That's the condo." Mertle told them. They entered and ate some vanilla beans and were about to rest, before someone flew into the condo. "What in the world?!" Emerald exclaimed.
They looked to see who had entered the condo, and it was Mega. "What are you doing in a place like this?" Mertle asked. "This is where I sleep every night." Mega told them. "Really?" Emerald asked. "Yes. It used to be the Top Predator's condo, but now it's my condo. I take it you three are on your way up the twelve cliffs?" Mega asked the three of them. "That's right." Mertle responded. "Then I'll let you three rest here for the night. I may want to warn you though, there are no more resting points like this until the top of the very last cliff, meaning if you rest on any of the other cliffs, it will be out in the open, exposed to the Top Predator. Remember to stay to the sides if you want to rest on those cliffs." Mega told them. Afterwards, the four of them went to sleep in the upper part of the condo.
The next day, Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle woke up in the condo and Mega was already gone. They ate some vanilla beans and began to climb up the fourth cliff, the fifth cliff, and then the sixth cliff, which took them twenty plush hours. They then stopped to rest at the side of the sixth cliff's surface, underneath the seventh cliff, when a giant tuxedo cat ran through the center and climbed the cliffs like they were steps. They then began to rest and the Top Predator walked down the cliffs twenty plush minutes later. Afterwards, they were finally able to rest for a while. They then climbed the seventh, eighth, and ninth cliffs, which took another twenty hours, and then the next day, climbed the tenth and eleventh cliff, and then finally, they reached the twelfth cliff.
Mertle advised them to rest at the top of the eleventh cliff to be on the safe side, and they did. The three ate vanilla beans afterwards and then climbed the twelfth cliff. When they reached the top, they saw a crossroads as well as a white tower. "We've finally made it to the crossroads. Now all we have to do is take a left and we'll be at our destination." Mertle told them. They then turned to make a left when a plush suddenly jumped down from the white tower and hit Mertle so hard that it caused Mertle to lose his second life. It was a pure black plush cat with brown eyes that had a bulky build when compared to other plush cats. The plush then made an aggressive stance towards Emerald and Vanilla and shouted, "Give me your vanilla beans!"
"I'm not giving the vanilla beans to you after what you did!" Emerald told their attacker. "Then prepare to die!" the cat shouted. He then pounced at the two, but they dodged. Vanilla shouted, "VANILLA WAVE!" before using his attack and pushing the cat back. The cat was not hurt. "You think you can hurt me with those pathetic attacks? Think again!" he said before he jumped at Vanilla. Emerald then fired a Beauty Beam at the cat while he was in midair, causing him to fall down multiple cliffs. "He shouldn't be bothering us for a while!" Emerald stated. They then entered the white tower to get Mertle to safety. They rested there for a day, finally safe from the Top Predator. The next day, Mertle had recovered and the three of them, all on their last lives, took the left turn at the crossroads.
After they took the left turn, they were next to a giant blue box on one side, and the other side, a giant blue barrier. "I suppose that we need to go beyond this barrier." Mertle told the others. They went to approach the barrier until a voice shouted, "Stop!" Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle turned to see who it was. Mertle recognized them immediately. With their starry cloak and their massive and mysterious figure, their identity was unmistakable, except to Emerald, who asked, "Who are you?" "Hello Emerald and Vanilla, and nice to see you again Mertle. I'm the Creator." they told the three. "You mean, the Creator?! Like, the one who, well, created everything?!" Emerald asked in shock. "I am the one who created Plush Land and its connected lands, yes." the Creator told them. The three plushies really were before the Creator.
"So, why are we not able to go beyond this barrier?" Mertle asked. "Beyond that barrier is Plush Heaven. That barrier was put in place to separate the living from the dead." the Creator told them. "Plush Heaven?!" Emerald asked. "That's right. Those cliffs you just climbed were called the Stairway of Spirits. I should have just called it the 'Stairway of the Top Predator'." the Creator explained. "So, what was the deal with the black cat that attacked us?!" Vanilla asked. "...That was the one who passed long ago. After he lost his seventh life, he went sort of crazy. The reason why no one else has passed since then is because he killed everyone else who made it far enough. He's earned the name 'Meanie Cat' to those in Plush Heaven. You ended his eighth life, so maybe that will cool him down a notch." they told them.
"Do you have any more questions?" the Creator asked. "Nope!" Emerald replied. "I have no more questions right now either." Mertle added. "Okay then. For passing through the Trial of Spirits, I will grant the three of you with six more lives. I'm not giving you more than that though, so don't be greedy like Meanie Cat has been." the Creator told the three. The Creator then swirled their starry cloak around the others and emitted a light on them. "You now each have seven lives left before you pass on." the Creator told them. They then put the cloak back on them and turned around. The Creator told them, "Now get on." They did. The Creator then rushed their way down the Stairway of Spirits, and then through Ugly Mug Kitchen, Dinosaur Valley, and Plush Land with Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle on their back.
The Creator then went to the foot of Mt. Treadmill where Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle lived and dropped them off. "Is that the Creator?!" Chocolate asked herself in surprise. "Now have a good day you three!" The Creator told the others before disappearing. Chocolate then rushed to the three. "You made it back! You were gone for almost a plush week! I was really worried sick about you!" she said. "I lost one of my lives, but after being saved by these two, the Creator gave us each six more lives." Mertle told her. "So that means each of you have seven lives?" Chocolate asked. "I would imagine so! I doubt the Creator would trick us!" Vanilla told her. "I'm really glad!" Chocolate replied with joy as she ran up to them and hugged them. "Welcome back you three!" Chocolate told them. They would then train until the next event in their lives would happen.
Three plush months after the defeat of King Bones, Emerald and Vanilla were doing strength training and Chocolate was running on the treadmill, before Mertle asked them to stop. "Why did you have us stop?" Vanilla asked. "I have something important I need to tell the three of you." Mertle told them. "What is it?" Chocolate asked.

"I hope you three stay safe." Chocolate told Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle as they left. The three then walked to the Plush City. "Stay right here. I'm going to stock up on food." Mertle told the other two. He went into the city and came out with a huge bag of vanilla beans. "That thing's huge!" Emerald shouted. "This is going to be a long and hard journey. We're going to need a lot of food if we want to be able to survive this." Mertle told them. The bag of vanilla beans was far larger than all three of them combined. It might have even been almost as large as King Bones, but not quite as large as him. Despite this, Mertle carried the huge bag and led the other two into Ugly Mug Kitchen all the way into the open area. "Hey! This is where we fought Bulldog and Sesaria!" Emerald said.

"Yes. It used to be the Top Predator's condo, but now it's my condo. I take it you three are on your way up the twelve cliffs?" Mega asked the three of them. "That's right." Mertle responded.

Chocolate replied with joy as she ran up to them and hugged them. "Welcome back you three!" Chocolate told them. They would then train until the next event in their lives would happen.
#2: Light of Life
Part 1: The CD Case Takeover
It had been some time since Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle had gained more lives, and the Creator decided that they would test how powerful Plush Land was. The Creator grabbed their favorite music album, made by a famous singer, and wrapped their starry cloak around it, giving it life. They then created a seemingly unbreakable green briefcase as well to serve as a vehicle to serve the CD case. The Creator then sent the CD case and the briefcase down to Plush Land. Afterwards, the Creator put the disc from the CD case in their radio located in Plush Heaven. The first song of the album then started playing, and the Creator looked down onto Plush Land through their starry cloak, observing the events that would unfold.
It had been four plush years since Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle received their six lives from the Creator. Vanilla was wondering where Emerald had been for the past few plush years, since he apparently left shortly after gaining his new lives. "You sure do miss Emerald a lot, don't you?" Chocolate asked Vanilla after noticing him asking Mertle about him once again. "I hear that Emerald should be making his way here pretty soon, actually." Mertle then told him. "Really?" Vanilla asked, very glad to hear the news. "Yep." Mertle responded. "It sure has been a while." Chocolate pointed out. "Really? It feels like its been just a few days since he was last here!" Mertle said. "It's been over three plush years." Vanilla pointed out. Someone then arrived at the foot of Mt. Treadmill. "There they are!" Mertle told them.
Emerald arrived at Mt. Treadmill, and with him, two smaller brown plush bunnies, one smaller than the other, both with amber eyes. "Welcome back Emerald." Mertle told him. "It's been so long!" Vanilla exclaimed as he ran to him. "But, ...who are the bunnies?" Chocolate asked him. Emerald then moved the bunnies closer and told them, "Meet my daughters, Bunny and Bunnette!" "Your daughters?!" Vanilla asked in surprise. "And a poor taste in names..." Chocolate added quietly. Bunny was the larger bunny, while Bunnette was the smaller of the two. "Well, congratulations Emerald! I knew something was up when you were gone for so long! Kids these days grow up so fast." Mertle remarked. Emerald then told the other, "Also, meet my wife!" "I wonder who the lucky rabbit is?" Mertle asked. Someone else then arrived. They then looked at them and stared. "...It's a CD case." Vanilla then said in disbelief.
Upon seeing the CD case that was apparently Emerald's wife, Chocolate commented, "Something doesn't seem right here." "I couldn't agree more." Mertle told her. Emerald then told them, "This is my wife! Her name is Black Lullaby!" "She's something else, I must say!" Mertle replied. "I think it's time we should get going Emerald." the CD case told him. "Of course!" Emerald responded, with no opposition. They then left together, without even saying goodbye. "That was kind of strange." Vanilla told Mertle and Chocolate. "It doesn't seem very much like Emerald to just leave us like that without saying anything." Chocolate added. Mertle then stood there for a second, before telling them, "Emerald is brainwashed." "What?!" Vanilla asked in shock.
"It is exactly as I said. It is clear as day to me that Emerald is brainwashed. If I had to take a guess, I would have to say that the CD case is the one behind all of this." Mertle told them. "I know Emerald's been acting strange, but what's telling you that Emerald is brainwashed?" Vanilla asked. "He seemed completely obedient to the CD case and had no opposition when she asked to suddenly leave. Also, I may want to add, the only way that Emerald could have children is if his wife was also a rabbit. A CD case cannot have children, and technically speaking, doesn't even have a gender at all." Mertle told them. "If he really is brainwashed, shouldn't we do something about it?" Chocolate asked. "Yes. I think it's time we made chase before it's too late." Mertle told them. They then left Mt. Treadmill.
Afterwards, Emerald, the bunnies, and Black Lullaby were walking towards the Plush City, when Vanilla, Chocolate, and Mertle caught up to them. They then turned towards them and Black Lullaby asked in a harsh tone, "Why are you following us?" "Because we know that you are controlling Emerald's mind." Mertle answered. "No way, what ever gives you that idea? Emerald, attack them!" Black Lullaby then told them. "Of course!" Emerald then responded. Emerald then started approaching Mertle as he took a deep breath. Emerald fired a Beauty Beam at Mertle, but not before Mertle had managed to jump at him, hitting him with a powerful headbutt. Afterwards, they both fell down. Both Emerald and Mertle had lost a life. "So you made Emerald lose his fourth life when I already made him lose his third." Black Lullaby then remarked.
Only a few plush weeks before, Emerald, his children, and his actual wife were living peacefully. Bunny was two plush years old while Bunnette was a newborn. Emerald's wife was a pink female plush rabbit. Then, as they were living a normal life on a mountain neighboring Mt. Treadmill, the CD case then arrived. "Who are you?!" Emerald asked. "My name is Black Lullaby. I hear that you are the legendary hero called Emerald the bunny, am I correct?" Black Lullaby asked, with a clear malicious intent. "Hurry! Hide the kids!" Emerald told his wife. She listened and ran, but then the CD case fired a wave at the children, and they then ran to her side as Emerald's wife escaped. Emerald then tried to fire a Beauty Beam at Black Lullaby, but he was then hit by a black laser, causing him to lose his third life.
Back in the present, after Emerald and Mertle were down, Chocolate ran to both of them. "Emerald! Mertle!" she shouted. "Why are you doing this? What is your motive for harming these two?!" Vanilla asked the CD case. "I only wish to bring peace to Plush Land by stopping the constant violence. I decided to try to bring Emerald to my side to help in my cause, but I suppose I'm powerless in my goal to bring peace to this land." Black Lullaby replied. "If you wanted help to make Plush Land a more peaceful place, all you had to do was ask." Chocolate responded. "Look, if that's what your true motive is, me and Chocolate will help you. Just stop brainwashing people. That's not the right way to go about things." Vanilla told her. "Really? Thank you so much." Black Lullaby then said. Vanilla and Chocolate then left with the CD case, leaving Emerald and Mertle on the field.
Sometime later during the same day, Emerald and Mertle were woken up by a voice saying, "Hey. Wake up you two." They then woke up, and they saw that the one who woke them up was Mega, and with him, Plush Legion Omega. "Hey there Emerald! Nice to see you back on your feet!" Jeremy told him. "We were really worried." Maddie added. "What happened?" Emerald asked. "Where are Vanilla and Chocolate?" Mertle also asked. "What was the last thing you remember Emerald?" Mat asked him. "...Me and my family were attacked by a CD case. Next thing I knew, I woke up here." Emerald told him. "So you've snapped out of it, it seems. Nice to have you back Emerald." Mertle then said. "I think we should head to Mt. Treadmill to talk more privately." Mega told the others. "OK then." Mertle responded. They then headed to Mt. Treadmill.
When they reached Mt. Treadmill, Mega told them, "Okay. Here, we should be able to talk more comfortably with less risk of being attacked." "Less risk of being attacked?" Mertle asked. "It turns out that the CD case managed to sweet talk Vanilla and Chocolate into joining her!" Mat told them. "Indeed. It turns out that she managed to convince them to join her by telling them that she's trying to get help to bring peace to Plush Land, but the way that she plans to do so would be horrible for Plush Land." Mega then added. "How so?" Emerald asked. "Sit down. This is going to be quite an explanation." Jeremy told them. "SIT DOWN?! BUT I HATE SITTING DOWN!" Smasher complained with a shout. "Just do it!" Mat shouted back at him. Mega then began to speak.
"The way she plans to bring peace to Plush Land is by ruling it with fear. She plans to overthrow the king and queen and rule Plush Land with an iron fist. Any plush that does even the slightest bit of wrong would get locked up and she would throw away the key, and the plush would have no hope of ever getting out. Any who would try to rebel would be killed by the sheer power of those in charge. It would be a true plush dystopia." Mega told them. "What's a dystopia?" Emerald asked. "It's something you don't want Plush Land to ever become." Mertle answered. "Thankfully, there's still time to stop that from happening!" Jeremy then said. "That is correct, but you must head to the Plush City as soon as possible if we wish to do so. We will also join you two in stopping this." Mega told them. "Then what are we waiting for?! Let's go!" Emerald responded.
Later, Emerald, Mertle, and Plush Legion Omega reached the Plush City. They then saw a giant, translucent green briefcase flying overhead in the sky. "What's that?!" Emerald asked. Mega then saw it and responded in a horrified tone, "It's the CD case and her allies!" "What?!" Emerald exclaimed. Mega flew up and tried to attack the briefcase at full power, but no matter what he tried, he could not do so much as scratch it. The briefcase then flew at full power and slammed Mega into the ground, knocking him out. After landing on top of him, the briefcase opened. "This isn't good." Jeremy said. "LET ME AT 'EM! I'LL SMASH THEM TO PIECES!" Smasher shouted, as Maddie and Mat held him back. Out of the briefcase, Black Lullaby and her allies came out. "This is going to be a tough one." Mertle then told Emerald.
Out of the briefcase, first, Black Lullaby came out, and then next, Vanilla, Chocolate, and the bunnies. Afterwards, Tabbie and Feltsy also came out of the briefcase. After they came out, two more came out. One was an action figure of a man with purple hair and green eyes, who had a brown shirt and black pants, and he was clearly missing a piece of clothing that should have been on top of his shirt. The other was a small plastic doll girl with long orange hair, blue eyes, a dress that was pink with some yellow at the bottom, and on top of that dress, she was wearing a black vest that clearly belonged to the other guy. "I don't recognize those last two." Mertle stated. "Wait, really?!" Emerald asked in shock. Black Lullaby and her allies then got into formation as the briefcase closed.
After Black Lullaby and her allies got into formation, she shouted the order, "Attack!" Vanilla then shouted, "VANILLA WAVE!" before using his special attack. The civilian plushies then ran for cover as Mat, Jeremy, and Maddie got in the way to protect them, getting taken down by a direct hit from Vanilla's attack. Afterwards, the three Action Defenders faded away. "This isn't good. Those were their final lives." Mertle told Emerald and Smasher. Then, the purple haired action figure and the girl attacked. "LEAVE THE MAN TO ME! I'LL SHOW HIM WHAT A TRUE ACTION FIGURE IS! I'LL SMASH HIM!" Smasher told them. "OK then. We'll take the girl then, as much as I hate to fight one." Mertle then said.
Smasher then went to fight the purple haired action figure. He lunged at him, but the action figure dodged. He kept trying to attack, but he couldn't hit him until he got lucky one time, which barely hurt the action figure. "WHAT KIND OF MAN ARE YOU?!" Smasher asked in shock. "My name is Barry. I am here to help fight for the cause of Plush Land." he replied, before attacking Smasher with a punch to the gut. Smasher then collapsed to the ground shortly afterwards. Meanwhile, Mertle and Emerald were trying to fight the girl. "This is clearly a Tina doll." Mertle remarked, upon further inspection. Barry then flew close to her and told her, "I guess you must be pretty popular Tina!" "I already told you that I'm not interested in you." Tina then told him as she pushed him away. "...What's going on here?" Emerald asked, dumbfounded.
While Emerald and Mertle were still fighting Barry and Tina, Black Lullaby and the rest of her allies had already made it to the Plush Palace. They then stormed into the throne room. "Welcome back Chocolate! Who are these friends of yours?" Queen Ann asked, completely oblivious of the situation. The CD case then opened herself and a giant black laser came out, taking down both King Lion and Queen Ann. King Lion then faded away, as he had lost his final life. "Father..." Chocolate said with sadness in her voice. "It is a sacrifice that had to be made to bring peace to Plush Land." Black Lullaby told her. "I know." she replied. She then got close to Vanilla and began to cry. The CD case then went to the throne where King Lion was and she declared, "I am now the new ruler of Plush Land. The rest of you, go toss the old queen in 'The Dungeon’." The others then left to do so.
Afterwards, Emerald and Vanilla were at the brink of defeat against Barry and Tina. "In the name of peace, prepare to die!" Barry told them. Then, before he could deliver his final blow, someone flew in and took Emerald, Mertle, and Smasher away. "Oh well. As long as the leader succeeded in her goal, I'm sure that we'll be able to take them down the next time they show up." Tina told him. Meanwhile, Tabbie and Feltsy pulled in an empty, massive blue tub. Bunny and Bunnette climbed to the top with Queen Ann and proceeded to toss her in. Barry and Tina saw this as well. "It seems that they're tossing the old queen into 'The Dungeon'!" Barry remarked. "That means that our leader has successfully overthrown the palace. We should probably head on over." Tina told him. He agreed. They then went to join the others.
Part 2: Black Lullaby's New Plush Order
Afterwards, Black Lullaby and her allies had completely taken over the Plush Palace, and by extension, they have taken over all parts of Plush Land under its control. Soon, they told the plushies that they would bring peace to Plush Land by punishing wrongdoers, and not that long afterwards, they began tossing those they deemed to be doing wrong into The Dungeon, where they could not escape and would never be freed. They tossed in criminals from the worst of the worst, rebels, petty criminals, and even plushies who barely did anything wrong. Within time, there were very few plushies out and about, and those who were conducted themselves orderly so they wouldn't be locked away. All of them lived to serve Black Lullaby, and were essentially slaves to the new order of Plush Land. All hope seemed lost, except for a small area that was still left untouched.
It has been two plush years since Black Lullaby took power over Plush Land and the new plush order was formed. The briefcase stood atop the Plush Palace as a reminder to the plushies of its power. Emerald tried to stop the plush order multiple times, but each time, his efforts were fruitless and it resulted in him losing both his fifth and his sixth lives. One battle also resulted in Vanilla losing his third life. Each time, someone had to drag Emerald home as he was left defeated in the field. His home was the one place still left untouched by the new plush order, and that was Mt. Treadmill, where Mertle, Smasher, and Emerald's wife also lived. Black Lullaby, however, planned to extend her power there as well. Then, one day, something flew through the sky that wasn't the briefcase. Seeing it as a good omen, the plushies wished for Emerald's return.
The same day as the plushies saw something in the sky, Mega landed at the foot of Mt. Treadmill, where Emerald, his wife, Mertle, and Smasher were. "I'm sorry for being gone for so long. There was a lot of business up in Plush Heaven." Mega told them. "I would imagine so. Probably innocent plushies that the CD case had executed, am I correct?" Mertle asked. Mega nodded. He then turned to Emerald's wife, who was a pink rabbit. "Who is she?" Mega asked. "That's my wife! I saved her from Vanilla in the Plush City! Her name is Easter!" Emerald told him. "Hello Easter! Don't worry, I'm on your side of this whole situation!" Mega told her. "...Hi." she responded quietly. "She's pretty shy around new people." Mertle pointed out. "I see." Mega said.
"So, what is your plan as far as the new plush order is concerned? Everything we've tried to do has resulted in failure." Mertle asked Mega. "I think that the only one who can truly save Plush Land is Emerald." Mega told him. "WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT HE CAN SAVE THEM?!" Smasher asked. "As much as I hate to admit it, he does have a point. Every attempt that Emerald has made to save Plush Land over these past two plush years has ended in failure." Mertle pointed out. "That is why I am going to have to give him my ultimate training." Mega told him. "YOU MEAN BEYOND WHAT YOU TAUGHT ME?!" Smasher asked in surprise. "Yes." Mega responded. He then turned to Mertle and asked, "Do I have your permission to give Emerald this training?" "At this point, I think there is no other choice." Mertle then responded.
"OK then. Emerald, take my hand." Mega told them. Emerald did. Mega then flew away from Mt. Treadmill with Emerald. He flew all the way to Ugly Mug, to the path where the microwave the plushies once fought Swooper at was located. Mega then grabbed a giant golden knob on the wall at the dead end of the path and pulled it, opening the wall. He then flew beyond it with Emerald. Once they reached the other side, they were at a place with wood on the ground and a view unlike anything Emerald had ever seen. Mega then grabbed the knob and pulled it shut before landing with Emerald. Emerald looked out in the direction opposite of the wall and saw two giant wooden fences with an open space between them, and beyond there was a green field with no ceiling. "What is this place?" Emerald asked as he took in the sight.
"This place you see around you is the world outside of Plush Land. This mass expanse that you see with no end is the world we live in, and Plush Land is only a very, very small section of it. Emerald, this is our world. It is called Earth." Mega told him. "The green fields, the endless blue sky, and the giant green, things sticking out of the ground! It's all so beautiful!" Emerald exclaimed. "The field is made of grass and those giant things sticking out of the ground are called trees. They are plants. They are alive, but they can't move." Mega explained. Emerald then looked around and asked. "What are those flying things? And what are those things with the fluffy tails?" "The flying things are birds and the other things are squirrels. Like us, they are alive, but I can't say the same for most plushies." Mega told him.
"What do you mean when you can't say the same for other plushies?" Emerald asked. "...Unlike the plushies in Plush Land, everywhere else in this world, plushies are nothing more than inanimate objects. Plush Land is the only place in this whole massive world that has plushies who are alive like us. All other plushies are doomed to a soulless existence of staying still until they are inevitably thrown out." Mega told him. Mega then looked at the animals and pointed out, "But, unlike other plushies, the plushies of Plush Land are just as alive as the birds, the squirrels, the grass, and the trees. ...But yet, at the same time, our bodies are much more fragile than the other living beings of this world." Mega then looked towards Emerald, who was taking this all in. "I think it's time we started training." Mega told him.
Emerald and Mega then began their training. Mega and Emerald attacked each other and Mega slammed Emerald into a fence harder than any force Emerald had ever felt. Despite this, Emerald did not fall unconscious, let alone lose a life. Instead, he just ended up feeling pain. "Did you notice how despite how hard I hit you that you didn't lose a life?" Mega asked. Emerald nodded. "That's because the idea of 'lives' and 'Plush Heaven' only exist in Plush Land. Plushies have lives and go to Plush Heaven in order to protect their physical bodies from being destroyed. In the outside world, however, there are no such protections, as the Creator has no control over what happens out here. As such, we can fight out here beyond our mortal limits, unless our bodies get destroyed. You're gone for good if that happens." Mega told him.
Afterwards, Mega took Emerald by the hand and told him, "Come with me." He then flew him up to the roof above the house that Plush Land is located inside of. Mega looked towards the sky and told Emerald, "On the other hand, I'm not like the other plushies." He then pointed upwards to the sky. "I come from a place beyond the sky that you see above you, and so does the Creator, even though they don't know it yet." He then put down his arm and turned to Emerald. "That's all I'm willing to say to you for now though. I already told you more than what any other plush besides Mertle and a certain other plush know. You haven't met the plush I'm talking about though." Mega told him. Mega then shone a rainbow light on Emerald. Afterwards, he told Emerald, "Follow me!" before flying down to the grass below.
Emerald then panicked and said, "There's no way I can do that!" "Just try it!" Mega shouted. "Okay then." Emerald replied. He jumped and suddenly there was energy coming from his body that allowed him to fly. He then flew down to Mega. "The light I shone on you has given you the ability to fly." Mega told him. "I see that." Emerald responded, still in shock at his new ability. Mega then flew up towards the sky and Emerald followed him, flying up so high that they were able to see the house that Plush Land was located in as well as many of the neighboring houses. "Now this is a sight the Creator would be unable to enjoy. Unlike us, they do not have to ability to fly." Mega told him. Mega then flew down, and Emerald followed him.
Mega flew back down to the porch towards the door that led them out to the outside world in the first place, and Emerald followed. "So, how is this supposed to help me defeat the CD case and her plush order?" Emerald asked Mega. "With that light, I gave you more than just the ability of flight. You will realize your other abilities soon enough." Mega told him. They then stood there for a second. "I think it's time for us to go back. The CD case has been getting close to reaching Mt. Treadmill, so there isn't much time." Mega told him. He then opened the knob of the door and they went back in the house where Plush Land was located.
Meanwhile, Mertle, Smasher, and Easter were at Mt. Treadmill when the flying briefcase was flying near. "This isn't good. The plush order has found us and Emerald isn't back yet." Mertle stated. "THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO FOR NOW IS FIGHT!" Smasher told him. "I suppose you're right." Mertle responded. Mertle then began charging his attack as the briefcase landed. It opened up, with Black Lullaby and her allies coming out and getting into their formation. Before Mertle could pull off his Meteor Shower, however, Vanilla shouted, "VANILLA WAVE!" and attacked Mertle with his attack, ending Mertle's fourth life. Afterwards, Smasher went to fight Vanilla as Easter went to hide. "Emerald, I hope you get back here soon..." Easter muttered to herself.
Smasher lunged at Vanilla, but Vanilla quickly dodged. Vanilla then tried to use Vanilla Wave again, but before he could, someone flew down from the sky at high speeds, knocking Vanilla back. Smasher saw who it was. "YOU'RE FINALLY BACK!" Smasher cheered. It was Emerald. The other allies of Black Lullaby tried to attack Emerald, but he ended up swiftly taking down Tina, Barry, Feltsy, Tabbie, and even, to his own regret, Bunny and Bunnette, causing them all to lose whatever lives they were on. This left only Vanilla, Chocolate, and Black Lullaby. Emerald then looked at Vanilla and Chocolate, and he asked, "Don't you think there is a better way to bring peace to Plush Land?" "What kind of nonsense could you possibly be talking about?" Vanilla asked him.
"It's not nonsense." Emerald told Vanilla. He continued, "There is a better way to bring peace to Plush Land than by locking up most of the plush population and ruling with fear. Instead, we should fight to make Plush Land a peaceful place that plushies can actually be free and fight off those who want to strip that freedom from us. Freedom is what makes life so great, and we should fight to protect that, and hopefully, if we fight together, we can create a Plush Land that can have both peace and freedom. What do you think?" Vanilla then thought about it, and he replied, "It may not be likely, but together, it might just be possible. You can count me in." "Me too." Chocolate added. Vanilla and Chocolate then went to Emerald's side.
After hearing this, the CD case got angry. "Fool! You think there can be any peace found in freedom?! The world you refer to is anarchy! There is nothing peaceful about a world like that!" she shouted. She then sent waves towards Vanilla and Chocolate and took control of them. Vanilla then tried to use Vanilla Wave on Emerald and Chocolate tried to attack him, but they both missed. "It seems that she took complete control of them. It looks like the only thing I can do is take them down. I'm so sorry you two." Emerald said. Then, suddenly, a heart shaped energy formed around Emerald's nose and he fired a rainbow heart shaped beam at them. Afterwards, instead of ending one of Vanilla and Chocolate's lives, it instead brought them back to their senses and they took Emerald's side once again.
"What?!" Black Lullaby shouted. She then tried to send waves at them again, but it didn’t work. "Why you...!" she then growled before she opened herself up, about to fire a laser at Chocolate. When she did fire it though, Vanilla got in the way and took the full brunt of the blast. Afterwards, Vanilla collapsed on the ground, losing his fourth life. Chocolate then screamed, "VANILLA!" before the CD case prepared to open up again. "I'll get you this time!" she told them. She opened up and fired again at Chocolate and Vanilla, but this time, Emerald got in the way. He then collapsed on the ground and lost his seventh life. "Emerald!" Chocolate shouted. She then began crying in fear, as she was the only one left standing, besides Smasher, of course.
Not long after losing his seventh life, Emerald got back up. "No way..." Chocolate gasped with surprise. "What?! But I just killed you! How are you standing so soon after that?!" Black Lullaby shouted in shock. They then looked at Emerald and noticed something different. Emerald was emitting rainbow energy from his entire body. "Well, no matter! I will just have to bring you down again!" Black Lullaby told him. Emerald then flew the CD case faster than the eye could see and he attacked her with a single slap, sending her flying. He flew after her and she landed all the way at the top of Sky Mountain. Emerald was then about to fire a Beauty Beam at her, but she faded away. Somehow, Emerald had made Black Lullaby lose all of her lives at once.
Afterwards, Emerald flew back to the foot of Mt. Treadmill, where Vanilla and Mertle had recovered. When Emerald landed, Mertle asked him, "Did you notice how the CD case lost all of her lives immediately when you attacked her?" "Yes, I did." Emerald responded. "It turns out that you actually ended up damaging her physical body with that attack. As Mega told you before, once that happens, you're gone for good. That's what happened to her." Mertle told him. "I'm wondering, is there any place beyond Plush Heaven?" Emerald asked. "If you ask me, I believe so. I believe that once our bodies are destroyed, our spirits are judged by the gods up in their world and then we are sent to the world of spirits, where we exist among the spirits of all living things that have passed on, not just plushies." Mertle told him.
Mertle went on to tell Emerald, "Well, regardless, you now have power that exceeds that of most plushies." He then added, with a laugh, "With that kind of power, you might be able to take on the Creator himself!" Emerald then laughed and replied, "Yeah, I don't know about that one!" Afterwards, Vanilla, Chocolate, and Smasher gathered where they were. "Now, I think it's time that we freed the plushies from that giant tub that they called 'The Dungeon', don't you agree?" Mertle stated. The other plushies agreed and they made their way to the Plush City in order to free the plushies who were locked away when Black Lullaby was in power. Meanwhile, Mega watched, and he told himself, "So Emerald has unlocked the Light of Life." Mega then turned to where he was and said, "I'm so proud of him."
Afterwards, Emerald, Vanilla, Mertle and the others reached the Plush City and arrived at the blue tub known as "The Dungeon". Emerald then went to the side of it. "Move out of the way, guys!" Emerald told the others. The others then went clear of the tub. Emerald proceeded to knock the tub on its side, freeing all of the plushies that had been held captive inside of it. The plushies then cheered as Emerald landed. Queen Ann ran to Emerald and told him, "Thank you so much for saving us!" Chocolate then went to her mother and asked, "So what do you plan to do with your final life?" "I think I'm going to resume being the ruler here until it's my time to go, and I don't plan to go anytime soon!" Queen Ann told her. The plushies continued to cheer that day until Emerald and the others left to go back to Mt. Treadmill.
Afterwards, when they got back to Mt. Treadmill, Vanilla gathered everyone around. "I have something I need to tell all of you." he told them. "What is it?" Mertle asked. "Me and Chocolate are going to be leaving to live in the Plush City." Vanilla announced. "What?! Why?!" Emerald asked in shock. Vanilla looked towards Chocolate and told the others, "Chocolate is going to be having our kitten soon." "Congratulations! I wish you two and your future kitten the best of luck then." Mertle told him. "Thank you." Vanilla replied. "I'm going to miss you! Please come back sometime, okay?" Emerald asked. "I'll try!" Vanilla said. "I'LL MISS YOU TOO!" Smasher then shouted, emotionally. "Well, it's time we headed out! Bye everyone!" Vanilla said. Vanilla then headed out and left Mt. Treadmill.
Afterwards, Vanilla and Chocolate went to live in the Plush City, where the plushies had been starting to return to their regular lives and Queen Ann had taken the throne again. Meanwhile, Emerald, Mertle, Smasher, and Easter went back to training at Mt. Treadmill and Mega went back to observing from his temple once again, except he was now all alone, as Plush Legion Omega was no more. At the same time though, he realized that there wasn't any need for a Plush Legion Omega anymore with Emerald and the others around. Meanwhile, the CD case returned to the Creator lifeless and cracked. "So your body was destroyed." the Creator said. They then looked into their starry cloak and stated, "Emerald has grown to be a truly excellent being." as they were listening to the final song of the album on their radio.
Part 3: Emerald's New Power
About one plush month afterwards, as Emerald, Easter, Mertle, and Smasher were training, Easter realized something was off. "Hey Emerald, where are our children?" Easter asked. "I don't know. I saw them lose one of their lives back when I fought the CD case, but when I came back, they were gone. I haven't seen or heard from them sense." Emerald responded. Mertle then approached and told them, "I know where they are." "Please don't tell me they're in Plush Heaven!" Easter begged. "No, no, they're not dead. They're in Ugly Mug right now." Mertle told her. "What are they doing out there?!" Emerald asked in surprise. "Apparently they're trying to climb the Stairway of Spirits, from what I hear. They're on their last lives, so that might be why." he told them.
"Isn't it a bit dangerous for them to be climbing the Stairway of Spirits?" Easter asked the others. "It's not just a bit dangerous. It is extremely dangerous. Remember, me, Emerald, Vanilla, and one other plush are the only ones to come back from there alive. Many other plushies have attempted, but all of them died before they could make it to the end." Mertle told her. "That's horrible!" Easter replied in horror. "That's not the only thing that's horrible." Mertle told her. "What else could be going horribly?!" Emerald asked, scared. "There is a living Spike Hammer who has been going around, attacking any plush who dares step foot into Ugly Mug Kitchen. A few plushies have already met their ends because of him." Mertle explained. "Well, then I have to go save Bunny and Bunnette then!" Emerald yelled before leaving.
Meanwhile, Bunny and Bunnette had made it to the open area of Ugly Mug, where they saw a tall, silver hammer. One side of the hammer had spikes while the other didn't. "You dare enter my domain?!" the hammer asked them. "We are here to make the journey to get more lives!" Bunny told him. "Fools! This territory belongs to I, Spike Hammer! For intruding upon it, you shall be tenderized!" the hammer told them. The hammer then swung itself, the side with spikes facing the two bunnies. Then, just before the hammer could hit them, someone got in the way and got slammed by the spikes. It was Emerald, who then collapsed on the ground, losing his eighth life. "Daddy!" Bunny screamed. "This time, I'll get you for sure!" Spike Hammer told the bunnies. Not that long afterwards though, Emerald got back up. "What?!" the hammer exclaimed.
When Emerald got back up, he fired a Beauty Beam, which took down Spike Hammer in one hit. "Woah! That was awesome!" Bunny said in surprise. Afterwards, Emerald turned to them and asked, "So you two are trying to get more lives?" "That's right!" Bunny told him. "So, what are your motives in doing so?" Emerald asked. "So we can live longer, obviously!" Bunny told him. "That is why you would have died before you could even make the journey." Emerald then told them with a serious tone. "Eep!" Bunny said, startled. Emerald then told the bunnies, "Only those with pure intentions are able to make the journey. Unless that day comes, steer clear from that path. If you don't, you will go to the Plush Underworld." Afterwards, Emerald took the bunnies by the hand and said, "Come on. Let's go home." before leaving Ugly Mug.
Afterwards, Bunny and Bunnette would go with Emerald to Mt. Treadmill, where they would stay with him, their mother, Mertle, and Smasher. Meanwhile, as this was happening, Vanilla was out to get food for Chocolate, when he noticed two familiar faces, and he was in shock. It was Barry and Tina. He turned to them and asked, "What are you doing here?!" "We're just going to meet a friend, that's all!" Barry told him. "Yeah, Tankerang told us he was inviting Dan over, so I knew that I had to come!" Tina added. "I thought you were coming because of me!" Barry said in surprise. "I already told you, I don't like you like that." Tina reminded him. Barry then got depressed. "Well, either way, we have to go or we're going to be late!" Tina told Vanilla. The two then left. "...Who's Tankerang?" Vanilla asked himself.
When Barry and Tina arrived at their destination, Barry said, "Here we are! Romance Mountain!" "Now I'll finally be able to see Dan!" Tina added. Then, a gold cat with black stripes and amber eyes arrived. "Hi there Tankerang! Where's Dan?" Tina asked with excitement. "It's nice to see you two have come here. Welcome to the Temple of Mega." the cat told them. "Wait, what?" Tina then asked, confused. Mega then arrived and got close to Tankerang before he told them, "I guess my son's trick worked, didn't it?" They then looked around and saw Feltsy and Tabbie as well. "...Wait, what's going on here?! I thought we were here for a date!" Barry asked, annoyed. "Nope! You four and Tankerang are going to be the new Plush Legion Omega!" Mega told them. "What?!" they all exclaimed.
"Wait, but I thought you said there wasn't need for another Plush Legion Omega, with Emerald around and all!" Tankerang asked Mega in surprise. "Mertle has made me aware that dangerous times will be coming within the next few plush years, something beyond what Emerald alone will be able to handle. For when that day come, we, Plush Legion Omega, must be ready to take action." Mega told Tankerang and all of the others there. "...I thought Dan was going to be here." Tina said. Tankerang then proceeded to tell her, "Dan doesn't exist here in Plush Land. Mertle knew I could bait you if I used his liking to entice you." "No way..." Tina replied, disappointed.
About two plush months after Emerald saved his bunnies, suddenly, monsters made up of toy bricks started attacking the Plush City. Vanilla went out to face them and saw the one controlling them, a blue plush monster named Marine, who had an appearance that looked aquatic. "Why are you attacking the Plush City?!" Vanilla asked him. "Because I want to steal the heart of the queen so I can rule Plush Land through her body!" Marine answered. The brick monsters then attacked Vanilla. He shouted, "VANILLA WAVE!" as he used his attack, toppling one of the monsters. That monster then got right back up and the monsters surrounded Vanilla. "Prepare to say goodbye!" Marine told him. Before the monsters could attack though, something hit and shattered all of them. Vanilla looked to see who it was, and it was the familiar green rabbit that Vanilla knew. "Emerald!" Vanilla shouted gleefully.
After Emerald took the monsters down, Vanilla told Marine, "You're going to pay for that now!" "Oh yeah? We'll see about that! HEART STOP!" Marine shouted as he fired a red orb of energy into Emerald. Immediately after the orb entered Emerald, the green bunny had a heart attack. "Oh no! Emerald!" Vanilla said. "Emerald, I know this is your ninth life! This is the end for you!" Marine told him. Emerald collapsed on the ground, dead. Vanilla then looked at Marine furiously and shouted, "You... I'll make you pay for hurting my best friend!" He then ran at Marine and went to attack with all of his might, when suddenly, Emerald got back up. "There's no way!" Marine exclaimed. Vanilla then turned to see what had happened. "It's a miracle." Vanilla said with relief. Emerald had somehow managed to get up after losing what was supposedly his last life.
When Emerald got up, he slammed Marine to the ground, defeating him and making Marine lose one of his lives. Afterwards, Vanilla went up to Emerald and asked, "How did you survive past what should have been your final life?!" "After I lost my eighth life, Mega told me that the light he shined on me that gave me my new abilities also granted me with eleven more lives. I questioned whether or not it was true, but then again, here I am, standing when I've lost what would have otherwise been my last life. I guess what Mega told me must have been true." Emerald told him. "That means you're on your tenth life, and you still have more lives left than any other plush in Plush Land!" Vanilla told him. "I guess so!" Emerald responded. Afterwards, Emerald walked back home to Mt. Treadmill.
Part 4: Silver & the Mysterious Wolf
It had been ten plush months since Emerald went to his tenth life. Vanilla and Chocolate's kitten had been born four plush months ago and it was a girl that they decided to name Silver, after her light gray fur. She also had blue eyes and seemed larger than the average kitten. Then, one day, tragedy struck. Vanilla and Chocolate were taking Silver on a stroll in the Plush City one day when the Top Predator suddenly dashed into town. He then held Silver down and chewed on her, giving her body mortal damage. Vanilla and Chocolate panicked and tried to look for help. Desperate, they went to Marine, who had changed his ways to help Plush Land through robotics. He told them that he could help Silver live by implanting robotic parts inside her, but there would be a price. She would never grow. They accepted it, and so their daughter was brought back to life as Plush Land's first cyborg cat.
It had now been three plush years since the accident with Silver happened, when Vanilla came home to Chocolate one day. When he did, she started crying, "Silver's gone missing!" "Wait, really?!" Vanilla asked in shocked. They then looked around the Plush City and asked if anyone had seen her, but they had no luck. "Oh no... What do we do? What do we do?!" Chocolate shouted in a panic, shaking Vanilla violently. "First off, stop shaking me." Vanilla told her. She then stopped. "First thing we could do is go to the Plush Palace. If that fails, we can go see if Mertle or Mega have any idea where Silver went." Vanilla then suggested. Little did they know, but Silver actually ended up getting lost in the plush fields, and had been lost for quite a while.
As her parents were searching, Silver was in the plush fields, alone and afraid, when she saw a mountain that had been undiscovered by the majority of the plushies. She began climbing it, looking for shelter. As she was climbing, a gray blur came rushing by. She got a bit scared, but kept climbing anyways. Eventually, she got halfway up the mountain and could see a large area of Plush Land. She looked around on the mountain, when something went rushing by again. She then attempted to hide in a hole, scared of who it may be. Afterwards, Silver saw the blur jump down from the top of the mountain, landing near where she was located. She then peeked her head out. It was a gray and white plush with beautiful blue eyes. Silver could tell it was some kind of animal, but she couldn’t tell what kind. The plush then approached Silver, and her heart began pounding. When the plush reached her, they told her in a kind voice, "Please don't be scared. I mean you no harm."
Afterwards, the plush gave Silver their hand. Silver, who was still a bit nervous, grabbed their hand, and they pulled her up. They then told her, "My name is Wolf. It's nice to meet you. You're the first plush I've seen in years." After introducing himself, Wolf, who was in fact a wolf, asked, "What's your name?" "My name is Silver." Silver told him. "What brings you to a place like this?" Wolf asked her. "I got separated from my mommy." Silver told him. She then asked, "What are you doing in a place like this?" "Oh, me? It's kind of a long story. Long ago, I was training under my teacher, Delicious, when plushies started accusing me one day of ending King Lion's first life. Before I knew it, even my teacher was taking their side, so I ran, and I kept on running, and then eventually, I ended up here. I've been here ever since, living as an outcast here in Plush Land." Wolf then told her.
Afterwards, Wolf told Silver, "You can stay with me if you like. The chances of your parents ever finding this place is very unlikely. At least, this way, you won't be alone and starve to death. In the end though, I suppose it's up to you though. I'm just a lone wolf in the most literal sense." Silver accepted his offer followed him. "You're the only plush in this world who actually accepts me. That means a lot to me. I don't know about anyone else, but I'll make sure that you get to survive no matter what, even if it costs me my own life. Hopefully things won't come down to that though." Wolf told Silver. Afterwards, Silver started living with Wolf in on the mountain, away from where any plush would likely find them.
Five plush days later, Emerald and Mertle had just arrived back from trying to chase the Top Predator away from the Temple of Mega, where Emerald lost his tenth life and Mertle lost his fifth. When they arrived in the Plush City, Emerald noticed how Vanilla and Chocolate weren't around. "Where did Vanilla and Chocolate go?" Emerald asked, wondering. Later, after coming back from looking in the plush fields, Vanilla and Chocolate headed back to the Plush City, and Vanilla stated, "At this rate, we might have to go to Mt. Treadmill to find her." They then walked by Emerald and Mertle, when Emerald asked, "How are you doing Vanilla?" This startled Vanilla and the two turned around before Vanilla shouted, "Silver's been missing for over five plush days now!" "That's horrible!" Emerald shouted back.
After hearing what Vanilla told them, Mertle stood there for a second. Afterwards, Mertle turned to Vanilla and Chocolate and told them, "I may have an idea where your daughter might have headed." "Really?!" Vanilla asked. "It's only a feeling of mine, but after all these years of being around, I think I have a good idea. Follow me. We're about to go to a place almost untouched by plushies." Mertle told them. Mertle then turned to Emerald. "You go home. I highly doubt there is anything where we are going that the three of us can't handle." he told him. Afterwards, Mertle led the way for Vanilla and Chocolate to where he thought that Silver might have gone.
Later that evening, Wolf and Silver were eating vanilla beans together on the mountain. Suddenly, Wolf noticed something. "I sense a presence nearby. No, not just one presence. I sense three, two of them being pretty powerful. We should be on guard." Wolf told Silver. Afterwards, Vanilla, Chocolate, and Mertle arrived at where Wolf and Silver were located. Vanilla looked at Wolf and told him in a hostile tone, "I don't know who you are, but whoever you are, you better return Silver to us at once!" Wolf then turned to Silver and told her, "Go hide in the hole behind me. You're still young. Let me handle this." Silver listened and hid. Wolf then turned to the others and asked them in a serious tone, "Are you two the parents of this kitten?" "They are indeed." Mertle told him. "That's why you should return Silver right now if you know what's good for you!" Chocolate shouted.
"If you two are truly Silver's parents, then you have failed at your duty of being parents. Silver has had to stay with me over the past five plush days due to your irresponsible parenting. Any good parent would never let their child run off like this. You two don't deserve to call yourselves parents. You are the worst parents I have ever seen in my life. I certainly know that the cat who raised me would never let something like this happen!" Wolf told them, growling. Chocolate then started sprinting towards Wolf and shouted, "RETURN. SILVER. NOW!!!" before she leaped at Wolf. Wolf then fired ice blue needles of energy from his hand, stabbing Chocolate in the heart, causing her to lose her second life. "CHOCOLATE!" Vanilla screamed.
After seeing Chocolate lose her second life, Vanilla got furious. "I'm going to make you pay very dearly for this. NO ONE EVER LAYS A HAND ON MY WIFE!" he shouted. He then screamed, "VANILLA WAVE!" as he used his special attack, sending a wave of energy at Wolf. Wolf, however, broke through his attack and punched Vanilla in the gut at full force. Vanilla then hit the ground and collapsed from the sheer force of the attack, causing Vanilla to lose his fifth life. Meanwhile, Wolf noticed that Mertle began to charge an attack. "I've heard about you from my old teacher. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to bring you down as well." Wolf told him. Wolf then began running towards him, when someone flew down from above, stopping him in his tracks. "You didn't think I'd trust you three by yourselves, did you?" they then said. It was Emerald the bunny.
After landing, Emerald looked around and told Wolf, "You ended one of Vanilla and Chocolate's lives, didn't you?! They were just trying to protect their daughter! I can't forgive you for doing this!" "I am only doing this to protect Silver from these irresponsible parents!" Wolf told him. "That doesn't matter! Vanilla and Chocolate are still Silver's parents, and I will not forgive you for keeping them apart!" Emerald told him. "Get out of here you rabbit!" Wolf then shouted, firing needles of energy towards Emerald. Emerald dodged all of them, but when he did, they end up hitting Mertle instead, causing the old turtle to lose his sixth life. "And now you've hurt Mertle too?! That's it! You're going down!" Emerald shouted. Emerald fired a Beauty Beam at Wolf, which hit him. Wolf then howled before he ended up losing a life.
Afterwards, Emerald then went to the hole where Silver was hiding and pulled her out. "There! I took care of that horrible Wolf!" Emerald told her. "You guys don't understand Wolf at all!" Silver cried. "He hurt my best friend, his wife, and my teacher. I don't know what else there could be to understand. When someone hurts those who are close to me, then it doesn't matter to me who they are. They're going down!" Emerald told her. Emerald then ended up taking Silver to the Plush City, carrying Vanilla, Chocolate, and Mertle. When they got to the Plush City, Emerald took them to Vanilla's home and waited for the three to recover.
Later, Vanilla, Chocolate, and Mertle recovered. "You saved us once again, didn't you Emerald?" Vanilla asked him. "I'm so relieved that Silver is finally safe from that horrible plush!" Chocolate told them. "None of you understand Wolf at all!" Silver then cried. "Now what could you possibly mean by that?!" Chocolate asked in a sharp tone. "Wolf was just trying to protect me because I'm the first plush he's seen in years! I'm the only one who ever actually looked out for him! Everyone else thinks that he's just a horrible traitor who ended King Lion's first life, when he really didn't do anything wrong and got driven to the mountains for nothing!" Silver told them. "She sure can say a lot for her age." Emerald remarked. "That's because she's part robot." Vanilla told him. "What are you talking about?! King Lion was your grandfather!" Chocolate yelled at Silver.
Mertle then stood for a second before telling the others, "Bulldog was the one who actually ended King Lion's first life though. Everyone thought that Wolf did it back at that time because they thought he looked suspicious. Wolf is actually a goodhearted plush who is just very overly protective. He became that way while he was being raised by Delicious, where he was very protective over him and saw him not only as a teacher, but also as a father. Wolf was probably just testing your worth as parents. That's just the kind of plush that Wolf is. The Wolf I knew really wasn't a bad plush at all." "...Wait. Are you telling me that Wolf was raised by my father?!" Vanilla asked in shock. "That's right." Mertle told him. "If only we'd have actually known..." Chocolate then said. Afterwards, Emerald and Mertle went home to Mt. Treadmill and they would all live a fairly normal life until the next chapter of their lives.
Part 5: The Creator's Test
One day, the Creator was watching over Plush Land, as they again noticed Emerald's power when he managed to once again take down the Spike Hammer. The Creator then told themself, "Emerald has become pretty powerful ever since before the defeat of the CD case. I wonder if I should test the abilities of him, Vanilla, and Mertle." The Creator then looked at their starry cloak, and then they gave it life before sending it down to Plush Land. "It's time to watch." the Creator said, as the cloak flew down the Stairway of Spirits.
Meanwhile, it was two plush months after the fight with Wolf, when Vanilla, Chocolate, and Silver were having an ordinary day in the Plush City. Vanilla was looking outside when suddenly, darkness fell upon Plush Land and Vanilla began to start seeing stars in the sky instead of the usual ceiling. He then turned to his wife and asked, "Do you see this?" There was no response. Vanilla went to look at Chocolate and Silver, and noticed that both of them had stopped moving. Vanilla then went to feel their hearts and neither of theirs were beating. Vanilla then went outside and then saw that it wasn't just Chocolate and Silver. All of the plushies in the Plush City were also completely lifeless. "What is going on here?!" Vanilla asked in horror.
Vanilla went to the Plush Palace to see if Queen Ann was okay, but like the other plushies, she was also lifeless. Vanilla then went out to the Plush City and said, "I've checked everywhere in the Plush City! The only place I really have left to check is Mt. Treadmill. Hopefully Emerald and the others are still okay!" He then began heading there. As he was, someone flew to where he was. It was Mega. "So you've noticed it too?" Vanilla asked him. "It's not just here. This is going on even in Ugly Mug. There are stars in the sky there as well and just like here, all of the plushies and other beings that usually are alive are now lifeless. The only exceptions are me, the Top Predator, and from the looks of it, you." Mega told him. He then looked at the sky and added, "Also, these stars are preventing me and the Top Predator from climbing the Stairway of Spirits."
"I'm heading to Mt. Treadmill to see if Emerald and the others are affected by this. What about you?" Vanilla asked Mega. "I'm actually heading there as well to check the same thing." Mega responded. "Good! Then let's head there together!" Vanilla told Mega. They then walked their way to the foot of Mt. Treadmill. Meanwhile, at the foot, Emerald and Mertle had noticed the same thing, and that Easter, Bunny, Bunnette, and Smasher were all lifeless as well. "Do you think that Vanilla and the others are affected as well?" Emerald asked Mertle. "I'm sure this likely affects all of the plushies in Plush Land as well as Ugly Mug Kitchen besides us and a couple of others. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest though if Vanilla himself was okay though." Mertle told him. Just at that moment, Vanilla and Mega arrived. "See? What did I tell you?" Mertle told Emerald with a slight laugh.
Vanilla saw Emerald and Mertle and said, "Well, it's good to know that you two are okay at least!" Mega then looked to Mertle and asked, "Do you have any idea what might be going on here?" "I'm sure you've realized that the stars in the sky are actually part of a giant physical object covering this huge area. That's why you're unable to climb the Stairway of Spirits, am I correct?" Mertle asked Mega. Mega then nodded. "Now, let me ask, do you recognize the pattern of the stars in the sky?" Mertle asked. Mega then looked up and gasped when he realized. Emerald and Vanilla looked up and gasped when they realized it too. "I take it from your reactions that you do as well. It's the same as the Creator's starry cloak. I'm sure the events that are unfolding might have some sort of connection with the Creator as well." Mertle told them.
"Why are all the plushies lifeless?" Vanilla proceeded to ask. "Well, I don't know whether or not you've seen it for yourself, but the Creator's starry cloak has the ability to create souls. The truth is though, the reverse is also true. The cloak is also able to absorb souls. That is what happened to the other plushies." Mertle explained. "So, why are we still moving then?" Emerald asked. "I know that me, Mega, and the Top Predator are okay because we were not created by the Creator, and you also had power granted to you by Mega, making you immune as well. I have no idea why Vanilla is unaffected though." Mertle told them. "Do you think it might be because I've had more lives granted to me by the Creator?" Vanilla asked. "Possibly. If that's the case, Meanie Cat is probably okay too, but we wouldn't know because he's above where we can reach with this cloak." Mertle responded.
"So, what do we do?!" Emerald asked. "...I think it may be possible to save Plush Land and Ugly Mug if we could just somehow destroy the cloak." Mertle responded. "Me and the Top Predator have both tried destroying the cloak, but we have had no success. The cloak is just too durable." Mega told them. Emerald then began flying up. "What are you doing?" Mertle asked him. "I have an idea." Emerald told them. Afterwards, Emerald began emitting rainbow energy, just like he did back when he fought Black Lullaby. Then, Emerald began flying at the cloak at top speed, and he created a bulge in the cloak as he pushed against it. Emerald then concentrated all of the energy towards his nose and fired a Beauty Beam at the cloak, but the cloak deflected the beam back at Emerald. Emerald then fell to the ground and collapsed, losing his eleventh life.
Not that long afterwards, Emerald got back up. He then turned to the others and told them, "That cloak is really powerful!" "Yeah, this might be a tough one." Mega added. Vanilla then came up with an idea. "Hey, maybe if you two combine your power and attack it, maybe you'll be able to do something!" he suggested. "Well, there's not really many other things we can try, so it's worth a shot!" Mega responded. "I agree! This might actually work! Let's do this!" Emerald then said. "Good luck you two!" Mertle told them. Emerald began emitting rainbow energy once again, and together, Emerald and Mega flew towards the cloak and attacked.
When Emerald and Mega attacked the cloak covering the sky together, they ended up making an even bigger bulge. Despite this, however, they still could not break through. "It looks like at this rate, I might have to go to my last resort." Mega stated. "Your last resort?!" Emerald asked. "Emerald, you should probably back up. You might end up getting permanently damaged if you're too close when I do this." Mega told him. Emerald understood and flew back down to the foot of Mt. Treadmill. "Well, here it goes!" Mega said. He then began glowing in light, and after the light had faded, Mega's body had turned solid and his arms became really sharp as if they were swords. Mega then swung his arms at the cloak, slashing it. This made two huge rips in the cloak. The cloak then disappeared. Afterwards, Mega flew away, exhausted.
After the cloak disappeared, Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle noticed that Bunny, Bunnette, Easter, and Smasher were all moving again. "You're all right!" Emerald yelled to Easter in glee. "What are you talking about?" Easter asked, confused. Everywhere, life had returned to the plushies throughout Plush Land and Ugly Mug, all of them completely oblivious to what had happened to them not long before. Vanilla then ran home to the Plush City to see Chocolate and Silver, and when he got home, he was relieved. "I'm so happy that you're alright!" Vanilla told them. "I should be the one saying that to you! You've had me worried sick when you just disappeared like that!" Chocolate responded. Meanwhile, the starry cloak, now torn and powerless, fell to the mountain where Wolf was staying. He then saw it and asked, "What's this?"
Two plush days after life returned to Plush Land, Wolf was on the mountain eating vanilla beans with the torn starry cloak that fell there, as he was speculating as to what the cloak might be. At that moment, the Creator appeared before him. "Who are you?" Wolf asked them. "I'm the Creator. I came here to find my cloak." They told him. They then grabbed the cloak and looked at it, seeing the two large tears in it. "I guess it can't be helped." the Creator said. The Creator looked at Wolf and told him, "Thank you for protecting this for me." They then disappeared along with the cloak. "Well, I guess that answers my questions." Wolf told himself before he continued to eat his vanilla beans.
Part 6: The Origins of Plush Land
Not that long after the Creator found their cloak, Emerald and Mertle were training at Mt. Treadmill with Smasher, Easter, Bunny, and Bunnette when the Creator appeared and grabbed Emerald and Mertle before disappearing. "Daddy!" Bunny screamed. "Emerald... What happened...?" Easter asked herself. "HEY! COME BACK HERE YOU COWARD! BRING EMERALD AND MERTLE BACK!" Smasher shouted towards the sky. Afterwards, the Creator appeared in the Plush City and grabbed Vanilla before disappearing with all of them. "Vanilla!" Chocolate cried. The plushies close to them all began freaking out. Meanwhile, Tankerang observed from the Temple of Mega. "Is this the time you were referring to?" he asked Mega. "No. This is not the time. Everything will be taken care of, don't worry. We do not need to get involved." Mega told him.
Some time afterwards, Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle all woke up. When they did, they were in a place filled with stars, and they could see what appeared to be planets in the sky. The surface they were standing on was soft and covered in a light starry pattern. "...What is this place?" Vanilla asked. "That is something that even I don't know." Mertle responded. Afterwards, the Creator appeared before them, but this time, with no starry cloak, as that had been destroyed. "You three have done well!" the Creator told the three plushies. "It's just as I imagined. You were testing us all along." Mertle said to the Creator. "That is correct. I sent my starry cloak to test you three and Mega, and needless to say, you passed with flying colors!" the Creator told them. "What is this place?" Vanilla asked. "This is Creation Summit." the Creator then told them.
"Creation Summit?" Vanilla asked the Creator in curiosity. "That is correct. This is the place where I create the souls for new plushies and observe what goes on throughout all of Plush Land and its connected lands. I only observe for one day out of every four though." the Creator told them. "What about all of the other days?!" Emerald asked in surprise. "I'm either busy with school, sleeping, or doing various duties to protect Plush Land that only I am able to do as the Creator." the Creator explained to them. "So if you were testing all of us including Mega, then why didn't you bring Mega here as well?" Vanilla asked them. "I have brought you three here to tell you more about me. Mega already knows what I am about to tell you, which is why I did not bring him here." the Creator told them.
"So, I'm sure you already know that Plush Land and it's connected lands are actually just rooms of an ordinary house in this huge world called Earth. Well, I'm sure Emerald and Mertle already know this, at the very least." The Creator told them. "Wait, really? You mean... that all of us are just toys that you are playing with?" Vanilla asked. "That is not the case, though I can see why you would come to that conclusion, as that is the case for most plushies outside of this house. The plushies here, however, are the only ones in the world that are alive. As such, everyone else in this world is scared to approach this house." the Creator told them. "Everyone else is scared of Plush Land? How come?" Emerald asked. "I think it's best if I start from the beginning." The Creator responded. The Creator then told them how it all began.
A little over 12 human years ago, which was around 49 plush years ago, the house that would become Plush Land was just an ordinary house. There was a husband, a wife, their three kids, and their cat. Then, a baby arrived at their doorstep. At this time, the mother had a collection of lifeless plush cats, and then there was the one plush cat that wasn't lifeless, being Mega, who observed the baby's arrival. The parents were a bit objected to taking in this baby, but after the other children cried and begged, they took the baby in as their own. One day, the baby was crying as the other kids were playing around. Mega saw this, and when no one was looking, he jumped down and sneaked his way to the baby. Mega then went up to the baby and decided to comfort them. The baby noticed Mega's beating heart and realized that Mega was alive. The baby and Mega then embraced each other, the beginning of their lasting friendship.
After a year, the family celebrated the baby's first birthday. The parents, realizing how much the baby enjoyed Mega, got the baby a huge bag full of plushies. After their birthday, the baby tried to have fun with the other plushies, but the baby noticed that the other plushies wouldn't do anything no matter what they tried. The baby then went to feel the plushies and noticed that they did not have beating hearts. Unlike Mega, these plushies were not alive. They were inanimate objects. When the baby realized this, they became sad, and began crying, hoping that the plushies would do something. Then, a rainbow light began shining from the baby's heart and the light covered the plushies. Afterwards, every plush that the light had touched came to life. Some of the light also hit the family's pet cat, making the cat more powerful. Plush Land was born, and the baby was their Creator.
For the Creator as well as Mega, the plushies coming to life was a miracle, and both of them were filled with glee. The parents, however, did not have quite the same reaction. The parents were terrified. The parents called the other kids and told them that they were leaving. They then left the house, leaving the Creator and Mega with the plushies who had just come to life. Eventually, the plushies organized to protect the baby and as such, the royal family of Plush Land formed, with King Lion as its king and Queen Ann as its queen. Among the plushies was also Delicious, Bull-Nod Doggy, the dinosaurs that would later become King Tornado I and King Tornado II, Ms. Fabulous, among other plushies. Their goal was to make sure that the Creator and Mega would not be alone in the house without the others.
A few days later, which was about two plush weeks, the parents came back to the house, and with them was a priest from the local church. The priest thought that the Creator had been possessed by the devil, and tried his hardest to exorcise them. Their efforts failed, as the Creator was not possessed by any sort of supernatural entity. Mega then went up to the parents and the priest and told them, "Maybe instead of being afraid of this child's ability to create life, maybe you should be more kind and accepting towards them." The priest then got terrified and shouted, "The plush speaks! It's a demon!" before holding out a cross and even trying to use holy water on Mega, but neither did anything. Mega then surrounded himself in a bright green light before turning himself into a young human girl. In this form, he had short black hair, green eyes, and wore a black dress. Mega told them, "You should accept us for who we are instead of shunning us because we're different." This freaked the priest out even more.
Afterwards, Mega went to the Creator and then, using his hand, he teleported them to a room upstairs in a flash of light blue energy. After that day, the Creator did not see their parents or the other kids much anymore, except for once every two weeks when they would drop food and other necessities off for the Creator and their cat, which they left with the Creator due to the cat being so powerful. The Creator asked for them to bring double the amount of cat necessities to take care of Mega as well, and they agreed to. Mega would also bring vanilla beans to Plush Land as well so the plushies could eat. Ever since, the plushies had to take care of the Creator. Life remained this way up until the Creator was around five, which was when the dinosaurs and the cats started battling each other. Afterwards, the Creator would have to take care of themselves, and the only one to help take care of the Creator would be Mega.
After the Creator told Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle everything, they then added, "Also, ever since that day, everyone has been scared of me and the plushies and stay away from the house. Everyone tries to stay away from me whenever I'm out and nobody outside of Plush Land is willing to be friends with me." Afterwards, the Creator told them, "I'm sorry if I sound like a crybaby right now." "There's nothing wrong with wanting to get things off your chest." Mertle told them. Mertle then added, "Back when your mother was young, I was always there for her even during the worst of times, and I was also there for your grandmother, your great-grandmother, and even your great-great-grandmother and before even that, all the way back to when I was born in 1812. If you have anything you need to say, I'm always willing to listen." Mertle told them.
The Creator then turned to the three plushies and told them, "By the way, my actual name is Zane. That's the name my parents gave me." Emerald and Vanilla's minds were blown, but Mertle stood for a second, and told the Creator, "I already knew that was your name. Doesn't 'the Creator' sound like a cooler name to go by though? It's a pretty cool nickname if you ask me!" This made the Creator smile. Afterwards, the Creator told them, "By the way, I'm sorry for causing so much trouble with my starry cloak." "It's okay. No harm was done." Mertle told the Creator. Afterwards, the Creator took the three in their arms and told them, "I think it's time I return you three to Plush Land. I'm sure your families are worried sick about you." The Creator then took the plushies back to Plush Land. When they got back, their family were relieved and they went back to living their normal lives.
Part 7: The Creator's First Human Friend
The day after meeting Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle, the Creator got woken up early in the morning by the Top Predator, who was begging them for food. This is how the Creator woke up every morning, and if it wasn’t the Top Predator waking them up, it was Mega. Though the plushies tended not to be able to tell, the Creator had curly brown hair and green eyes, and was wearing a dark blue t-shirt and black sweatpants. They then got up from their bed, which was Creator Summit. They walked out of their room, which was Plush Heaven and went past the curtain that was known by the plushies as the barrier. They then walked down the stairway that was called the Stairway of Spirits and walked down to their kitchen, called Ugly Mug Kitchen by the plushies.
With a yawn, the Creator walked towards the white fridge that the plushies thought was a white tower, and grabbed some cat food off the top of it. They then filled the Top Predator’s bowl that wasn’t for food with water. They then opened a can and put it in the food bowl in kitchen for the Top Predator. Once the Top Predator began eating, they went upstairs to their room, which was where Mega's bowls were located, and put food and water in there as well. They then walked through the room that was the Plush Underworld and went to the bathroom, which was connected to the room, and they begin to take a shower, leaving the plushies in the next room to scream in terror at the sight of the Creator bathing. After they finished, they put their clothes back on and brushed their teeth, before going downstairs to the kitchen.
When the Creator got back to the kitchen, they went to the white rack and grabbed a pack of off-brand strawberry toaster pastries out of a box. They then plugged in the toaster, opened the pack of pastries, and put them in. When they were done, the Creator put the two pastries on a plate and ate them. They then put on a pair of black and blue sneakers, and grabbed their blue bookbag off of one of the chairs by the kitchen table that the Top Predator slept underneath of, putting that on as well. They then went through their living room, which was Plush Land, and went to the front door of the house where they put on their socks and shoes before leaving the house. They went outside to wait on the school bus to come, and when it got there, the Creator got on.
When the Creator got on the bus, the driver drove them to school. The Creator was the only one on the bus, as the school decided to put them on their own special bus to keep them away from the other students. After a relatively short ride, the bus dropped the Creator off at their school. The Creator was in middle school and was in the sixth grade. The season was spring, meaning that they were in the later part of the school year. The Creator then walked into the school, and just like any other day, all of the students steered clear of them as they walked to their locker to prepare for their first class. The school that the Creator went to had block scheduling, which meant that some classes happened on one day, called Day A, and some classes happened on the other day, Day B. Today was a Day A, meaning that the Creator's first class of the day was Science.
When the Creator was in Science class, they were doing a group lab, and the Creator had to find someone to group with. They tried to ask other students, but none of the students would group with them. Eventually, all of the groups were full and the Creator was left alone. The teacher saw this, so they chose a random group and stuck the Creator with them. The other students used this opportunity and asked the Creator to do some of the work. They then had the Creator do all of the work so that they could just goof off. The group then ended up getting an F from the teacher as punishment for the other group members goofing off, though the Creator did all of the work correctly. Afterwards, class ended and the Creator went off to their next class, Band.
The Creator originally wanted to join chorus, as singing was one of the things they enjoyed, but the school didn't allow them in the chorus. As such, the Creator thought Band would be the next best thing. In the class, the Creator was assigned to playing one of the snare drums, and whenever they made even the tiniest of mistakes, the other students would always give them a dirty look. Towards the end of class, the Creator was walking by the bass drum in the classroom when one of the students tried to push them into it. The teacher then stopped the other student and gave them a referral to go to the office. The student left, but not before giving the Creator a menacing look.
After band class, it was lunchtime. The Creator sat at a table by themself, as no one would sit near them. The Creator then pulled out their lunch, which they packed, and they opened their lunch box. In the lunch box was a tuna sandwich contained in a plastic box with a translucent lid that read "Amazing", a cup of fruit, being pears on this particular day, as well as a bottle of water. As they sat by themselves, the Creator noticed that someone else was also sitting by themselves. She was a girl with blood red hair and green eyes, who wore a red hoodie, gray sweatpants, and black shoes. Seeing this, the Creator went to her and asked, "Why are you by yourself?"
The girl responded to the Creator and told them, "Everyone's afraid of me because I'm not normal." "How come?" the Creator asked. The girl then held her hands open. "I'm only going to do this once, okay?" the girl told them. The girl then created fire from her hands and before quickly putting it out. Afterwards, the girl asked, "I noticed that you're also by yourself. Why is that?" "Ever since I brought life to plushies and some other inanimate objects, everyone's been staying away from me. The only friends I have are the plushies at my house. I don't have anyone outside of there." the Creator told her. The girl then looked at the Creator and told them, "I'm here, and I'm not afraid being around you. What's your name?"
"My name is Zane. I'm also called the Creator by some." the Creator told the girl. "Well, it's nice to meet you. My name's Abby. We should be friends." the girl then told them. The Creator then smiled and replied, "Of course!" Lunchtime was then over, and with that meant that it was time for the Creator's gym class. As they were walking through the halls, someone noticed the Creator and Abby. The person then stated, "I sense something special about those two. Could they be who we're looking for?" They then thought to themselves and then concluded, "No, it is not yet time to look for them, for he has not yet returned. Until that time comes though, I'll keep my eyes on those two whenever they're here." The person then disappeared.
The Creator went to gym class. They changed into a white shirt and shorts before the class went out onto the field. The teacher instructed the students to play football on the field, but the other students refused to let the Creator play in their teams, and the teacher did nothing to stop it. As such, the Creator was left having to observe instead of actually playing. After class ended, the Creator went to go change back into their normal clothes and went to their next class, which was English. This class and the class after were only half as long, but were on both days. In English, it was a free-read day, so the Creator pulled out the book that they brought with them, which was a fantasy book about cats, and they read it. The next class after was their honors Math class, where they were just doing regular math work. These were the only classes where the students didn't treat the Creator badly, since there was rarely any interaction.
Afterwards, the Creator went to one of their after school clubs. At this school, students were made to sign up for four different clubs, and they would go to one of the clubs every day except for Friday, where they went to homeroom instead. Today, the Creator went to their drawing club, which is something else they enjoyed. The Creator usually drew pictures of thoughts they had in their head, which was usually of alien cats. Today, however, they decided to draw something else. They began drawing a picture of a certain plush. As they were drawing, Abby, who was also in the same club, came up to them and asked, "Hi! What are you drawing?"
Abby looked at what the Creator was drawing in their journal and asked, "Is that a rabbit?" "It is. It's a drawing of a plush bunny I brought to life. His name is Emerald." the Creator told them. "I like it!" Abby told them. She then brought out what she was drawing and told the Creator, "This is what I've been drawing. What do you think of it?" Abby asked. They looked at it. It was a detailed drawing of a cat. The cat was rainbow colored and had white eyes. "It's a very nice drawing. You're much better than I am at this!" the Creator told them. "Thank you, but yours is good too!" Abby replied. After this, The two of them drew together until the school day ended. When the day did end, the Creator would get on the bus and go home.
Not that long afterwards, the bus dropped the Creator off at home. The Creator then went to the kitchen and grabbed themselves a snack out of one of the shelves. It was a bag of white cheddar popcorn. They ate it before doing their homework and going up to their bed, which is Creation Summit, and watching over Plush Land for a few hours, a little under a plush day. They then made dinner for themselves by boiling up some chicken flavor instant ramen. After eating the ramen, they would feed the Top Predator and Mega again, as well as changing the litter box and taking out the trash, which had to be done twice a week. They then brushed their teeth again and prepared to go to bed.
Before they went to bed, Mega flew up to the Creator's room and onto their bed. "So, how did your day go today?" he asked them. "At first, it was just the usual being avoided, excluded, and being pushed around, but today, I finally made a friend outside of Plush Land." the Creator told him. "That's good! What's your friend's name?" Mega asked. "My new friend is a red haired girl named Abby. Just like me, everyone else is scared of her because she's different." the Creator told him. "How so?" Mega asked. "She can create fire." the Creator responded. "Is there anything else?" Mega asked. "We showed each other our drawings. She drew this amazing picture of this rainbow cat with white eyes!" the Creator told him. "You don't say?!" Mega said in surprise. "What's wrong?" the Creator asked. "It's nothing! Really!" Mega replied with a laugh. Afterwards, the Creator went to bed, happy to have made a new friend.
It had been some time since Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle had gained more lives, and the Creator decided that they would test how powerful Plush Land was. The Creator grabbed their favorite music album, made by a famous singer, and wrapped their starry cloak around it, giving it life. They then created a seemingly unbreakable green briefcase as well to serve as a vehicle to serve the CD case. The Creator then sent the CD case and the briefcase down to Plush Land. Afterwards, the Creator put the disc from the CD case in their radio located in Plush Heaven. The first song of the album then started playing, and the Creator looked down onto Plush Land through their starry cloak, observing the events that would unfold.
It had been four plush years since Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle received their six lives from the Creator. Vanilla was wondering where Emerald had been for the past few plush years, since he apparently left shortly after gaining his new lives. "You sure do miss Emerald a lot, don't you?" Chocolate asked Vanilla after noticing him asking Mertle about him once again. "I hear that Emerald should be making his way here pretty soon, actually." Mertle then told him. "Really?" Vanilla asked, very glad to hear the news. "Yep." Mertle responded. "It sure has been a while." Chocolate pointed out. "Really? It feels like its been just a few days since he was last here!" Mertle said. "It's been over three plush years." Vanilla pointed out. Someone then arrived at the foot of Mt. Treadmill. "There they are!" Mertle told them.
Emerald arrived at Mt. Treadmill, and with him, two smaller brown plush bunnies, one smaller than the other, both with amber eyes. "Welcome back Emerald." Mertle told him. "It's been so long!" Vanilla exclaimed as he ran to him. "But, ...who are the bunnies?" Chocolate asked him. Emerald then moved the bunnies closer and told them, "Meet my daughters, Bunny and Bunnette!" "Your daughters?!" Vanilla asked in surprise. "And a poor taste in names..." Chocolate added quietly. Bunny was the larger bunny, while Bunnette was the smaller of the two. "Well, congratulations Emerald! I knew something was up when you were gone for so long! Kids these days grow up so fast." Mertle remarked. Emerald then told the other, "Also, meet my wife!" "I wonder who the lucky rabbit is?" Mertle asked. Someone else then arrived. They then looked at them and stared. "...It's a CD case." Vanilla then said in disbelief.
Upon seeing the CD case that was apparently Emerald's wife, Chocolate commented, "Something doesn't seem right here." "I couldn't agree more." Mertle told her. Emerald then told them, "This is my wife! Her name is Black Lullaby!" "She's something else, I must say!" Mertle replied. "I think it's time we should get going Emerald." the CD case told him. "Of course!" Emerald responded, with no opposition. They then left together, without even saying goodbye. "That was kind of strange." Vanilla told Mertle and Chocolate. "It doesn't seem very much like Emerald to just leave us like that without saying anything." Chocolate added. Mertle then stood there for a second, before telling them, "Emerald is brainwashed." "What?!" Vanilla asked in shock.
"It is exactly as I said. It is clear as day to me that Emerald is brainwashed. If I had to take a guess, I would have to say that the CD case is the one behind all of this." Mertle told them. "I know Emerald's been acting strange, but what's telling you that Emerald is brainwashed?" Vanilla asked. "He seemed completely obedient to the CD case and had no opposition when she asked to suddenly leave. Also, I may want to add, the only way that Emerald could have children is if his wife was also a rabbit. A CD case cannot have children, and technically speaking, doesn't even have a gender at all." Mertle told them. "If he really is brainwashed, shouldn't we do something about it?" Chocolate asked. "Yes. I think it's time we made chase before it's too late." Mertle told them. They then left Mt. Treadmill.
Afterwards, Emerald, the bunnies, and Black Lullaby were walking towards the Plush City, when Vanilla, Chocolate, and Mertle caught up to them. They then turned towards them and Black Lullaby asked in a harsh tone, "Why are you following us?" "Because we know that you are controlling Emerald's mind." Mertle answered. "No way, what ever gives you that idea? Emerald, attack them!" Black Lullaby then told them. "Of course!" Emerald then responded. Emerald then started approaching Mertle as he took a deep breath. Emerald fired a Beauty Beam at Mertle, but not before Mertle had managed to jump at him, hitting him with a powerful headbutt. Afterwards, they both fell down. Both Emerald and Mertle had lost a life. "So you made Emerald lose his fourth life when I already made him lose his third." Black Lullaby then remarked.
Only a few plush weeks before, Emerald, his children, and his actual wife were living peacefully. Bunny was two plush years old while Bunnette was a newborn. Emerald's wife was a pink female plush rabbit. Then, as they were living a normal life on a mountain neighboring Mt. Treadmill, the CD case then arrived. "Who are you?!" Emerald asked. "My name is Black Lullaby. I hear that you are the legendary hero called Emerald the bunny, am I correct?" Black Lullaby asked, with a clear malicious intent. "Hurry! Hide the kids!" Emerald told his wife. She listened and ran, but then the CD case fired a wave at the children, and they then ran to her side as Emerald's wife escaped. Emerald then tried to fire a Beauty Beam at Black Lullaby, but he was then hit by a black laser, causing him to lose his third life.
Back in the present, after Emerald and Mertle were down, Chocolate ran to both of them. "Emerald! Mertle!" she shouted. "Why are you doing this? What is your motive for harming these two?!" Vanilla asked the CD case. "I only wish to bring peace to Plush Land by stopping the constant violence. I decided to try to bring Emerald to my side to help in my cause, but I suppose I'm powerless in my goal to bring peace to this land." Black Lullaby replied. "If you wanted help to make Plush Land a more peaceful place, all you had to do was ask." Chocolate responded. "Look, if that's what your true motive is, me and Chocolate will help you. Just stop brainwashing people. That's not the right way to go about things." Vanilla told her. "Really? Thank you so much." Black Lullaby then said. Vanilla and Chocolate then left with the CD case, leaving Emerald and Mertle on the field.
Sometime later during the same day, Emerald and Mertle were woken up by a voice saying, "Hey. Wake up you two." They then woke up, and they saw that the one who woke them up was Mega, and with him, Plush Legion Omega. "Hey there Emerald! Nice to see you back on your feet!" Jeremy told him. "We were really worried." Maddie added. "What happened?" Emerald asked. "Where are Vanilla and Chocolate?" Mertle also asked. "What was the last thing you remember Emerald?" Mat asked him. "...Me and my family were attacked by a CD case. Next thing I knew, I woke up here." Emerald told him. "So you've snapped out of it, it seems. Nice to have you back Emerald." Mertle then said. "I think we should head to Mt. Treadmill to talk more privately." Mega told the others. "OK then." Mertle responded. They then headed to Mt. Treadmill.
When they reached Mt. Treadmill, Mega told them, "Okay. Here, we should be able to talk more comfortably with less risk of being attacked." "Less risk of being attacked?" Mertle asked. "It turns out that the CD case managed to sweet talk Vanilla and Chocolate into joining her!" Mat told them. "Indeed. It turns out that she managed to convince them to join her by telling them that she's trying to get help to bring peace to Plush Land, but the way that she plans to do so would be horrible for Plush Land." Mega then added. "How so?" Emerald asked. "Sit down. This is going to be quite an explanation." Jeremy told them. "SIT DOWN?! BUT I HATE SITTING DOWN!" Smasher complained with a shout. "Just do it!" Mat shouted back at him. Mega then began to speak.
"The way she plans to bring peace to Plush Land is by ruling it with fear. She plans to overthrow the king and queen and rule Plush Land with an iron fist. Any plush that does even the slightest bit of wrong would get locked up and she would throw away the key, and the plush would have no hope of ever getting out. Any who would try to rebel would be killed by the sheer power of those in charge. It would be a true plush dystopia." Mega told them. "What's a dystopia?" Emerald asked. "It's something you don't want Plush Land to ever become." Mertle answered. "Thankfully, there's still time to stop that from happening!" Jeremy then said. "That is correct, but you must head to the Plush City as soon as possible if we wish to do so. We will also join you two in stopping this." Mega told them. "Then what are we waiting for?! Let's go!" Emerald responded.
Later, Emerald, Mertle, and Plush Legion Omega reached the Plush City. They then saw a giant, translucent green briefcase flying overhead in the sky. "What's that?!" Emerald asked. Mega then saw it and responded in a horrified tone, "It's the CD case and her allies!" "What?!" Emerald exclaimed. Mega flew up and tried to attack the briefcase at full power, but no matter what he tried, he could not do so much as scratch it. The briefcase then flew at full power and slammed Mega into the ground, knocking him out. After landing on top of him, the briefcase opened. "This isn't good." Jeremy said. "LET ME AT 'EM! I'LL SMASH THEM TO PIECES!" Smasher shouted, as Maddie and Mat held him back. Out of the briefcase, Black Lullaby and her allies came out. "This is going to be a tough one." Mertle then told Emerald.
Out of the briefcase, first, Black Lullaby came out, and then next, Vanilla, Chocolate, and the bunnies. Afterwards, Tabbie and Feltsy also came out of the briefcase. After they came out, two more came out. One was an action figure of a man with purple hair and green eyes, who had a brown shirt and black pants, and he was clearly missing a piece of clothing that should have been on top of his shirt. The other was a small plastic doll girl with long orange hair, blue eyes, a dress that was pink with some yellow at the bottom, and on top of that dress, she was wearing a black vest that clearly belonged to the other guy. "I don't recognize those last two." Mertle stated. "Wait, really?!" Emerald asked in shock. Black Lullaby and her allies then got into formation as the briefcase closed.
After Black Lullaby and her allies got into formation, she shouted the order, "Attack!" Vanilla then shouted, "VANILLA WAVE!" before using his special attack. The civilian plushies then ran for cover as Mat, Jeremy, and Maddie got in the way to protect them, getting taken down by a direct hit from Vanilla's attack. Afterwards, the three Action Defenders faded away. "This isn't good. Those were their final lives." Mertle told Emerald and Smasher. Then, the purple haired action figure and the girl attacked. "LEAVE THE MAN TO ME! I'LL SHOW HIM WHAT A TRUE ACTION FIGURE IS! I'LL SMASH HIM!" Smasher told them. "OK then. We'll take the girl then, as much as I hate to fight one." Mertle then said.
Smasher then went to fight the purple haired action figure. He lunged at him, but the action figure dodged. He kept trying to attack, but he couldn't hit him until he got lucky one time, which barely hurt the action figure. "WHAT KIND OF MAN ARE YOU?!" Smasher asked in shock. "My name is Barry. I am here to help fight for the cause of Plush Land." he replied, before attacking Smasher with a punch to the gut. Smasher then collapsed to the ground shortly afterwards. Meanwhile, Mertle and Emerald were trying to fight the girl. "This is clearly a Tina doll." Mertle remarked, upon further inspection. Barry then flew close to her and told her, "I guess you must be pretty popular Tina!" "I already told you that I'm not interested in you." Tina then told him as she pushed him away. "...What's going on here?" Emerald asked, dumbfounded.
While Emerald and Mertle were still fighting Barry and Tina, Black Lullaby and the rest of her allies had already made it to the Plush Palace. They then stormed into the throne room. "Welcome back Chocolate! Who are these friends of yours?" Queen Ann asked, completely oblivious of the situation. The CD case then opened herself and a giant black laser came out, taking down both King Lion and Queen Ann. King Lion then faded away, as he had lost his final life. "Father..." Chocolate said with sadness in her voice. "It is a sacrifice that had to be made to bring peace to Plush Land." Black Lullaby told her. "I know." she replied. She then got close to Vanilla and began to cry. The CD case then went to the throne where King Lion was and she declared, "I am now the new ruler of Plush Land. The rest of you, go toss the old queen in 'The Dungeon’." The others then left to do so.
Afterwards, Emerald and Vanilla were at the brink of defeat against Barry and Tina. "In the name of peace, prepare to die!" Barry told them. Then, before he could deliver his final blow, someone flew in and took Emerald, Mertle, and Smasher away. "Oh well. As long as the leader succeeded in her goal, I'm sure that we'll be able to take them down the next time they show up." Tina told him. Meanwhile, Tabbie and Feltsy pulled in an empty, massive blue tub. Bunny and Bunnette climbed to the top with Queen Ann and proceeded to toss her in. Barry and Tina saw this as well. "It seems that they're tossing the old queen into 'The Dungeon'!" Barry remarked. "That means that our leader has successfully overthrown the palace. We should probably head on over." Tina told him. He agreed. They then went to join the others.
Part 2: Black Lullaby's New Plush Order
Afterwards, Black Lullaby and her allies had completely taken over the Plush Palace, and by extension, they have taken over all parts of Plush Land under its control. Soon, they told the plushies that they would bring peace to Plush Land by punishing wrongdoers, and not that long afterwards, they began tossing those they deemed to be doing wrong into The Dungeon, where they could not escape and would never be freed. They tossed in criminals from the worst of the worst, rebels, petty criminals, and even plushies who barely did anything wrong. Within time, there were very few plushies out and about, and those who were conducted themselves orderly so they wouldn't be locked away. All of them lived to serve Black Lullaby, and were essentially slaves to the new order of Plush Land. All hope seemed lost, except for a small area that was still left untouched.
It has been two plush years since Black Lullaby took power over Plush Land and the new plush order was formed. The briefcase stood atop the Plush Palace as a reminder to the plushies of its power. Emerald tried to stop the plush order multiple times, but each time, his efforts were fruitless and it resulted in him losing both his fifth and his sixth lives. One battle also resulted in Vanilla losing his third life. Each time, someone had to drag Emerald home as he was left defeated in the field. His home was the one place still left untouched by the new plush order, and that was Mt. Treadmill, where Mertle, Smasher, and Emerald's wife also lived. Black Lullaby, however, planned to extend her power there as well. Then, one day, something flew through the sky that wasn't the briefcase. Seeing it as a good omen, the plushies wished for Emerald's return.
The same day as the plushies saw something in the sky, Mega landed at the foot of Mt. Treadmill, where Emerald, his wife, Mertle, and Smasher were. "I'm sorry for being gone for so long. There was a lot of business up in Plush Heaven." Mega told them. "I would imagine so. Probably innocent plushies that the CD case had executed, am I correct?" Mertle asked. Mega nodded. He then turned to Emerald's wife, who was a pink rabbit. "Who is she?" Mega asked. "That's my wife! I saved her from Vanilla in the Plush City! Her name is Easter!" Emerald told him. "Hello Easter! Don't worry, I'm on your side of this whole situation!" Mega told her. "...Hi." she responded quietly. "She's pretty shy around new people." Mertle pointed out. "I see." Mega said.
"So, what is your plan as far as the new plush order is concerned? Everything we've tried to do has resulted in failure." Mertle asked Mega. "I think that the only one who can truly save Plush Land is Emerald." Mega told him. "WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT HE CAN SAVE THEM?!" Smasher asked. "As much as I hate to admit it, he does have a point. Every attempt that Emerald has made to save Plush Land over these past two plush years has ended in failure." Mertle pointed out. "That is why I am going to have to give him my ultimate training." Mega told him. "YOU MEAN BEYOND WHAT YOU TAUGHT ME?!" Smasher asked in surprise. "Yes." Mega responded. He then turned to Mertle and asked, "Do I have your permission to give Emerald this training?" "At this point, I think there is no other choice." Mertle then responded.
"OK then. Emerald, take my hand." Mega told them. Emerald did. Mega then flew away from Mt. Treadmill with Emerald. He flew all the way to Ugly Mug, to the path where the microwave the plushies once fought Swooper at was located. Mega then grabbed a giant golden knob on the wall at the dead end of the path and pulled it, opening the wall. He then flew beyond it with Emerald. Once they reached the other side, they were at a place with wood on the ground and a view unlike anything Emerald had ever seen. Mega then grabbed the knob and pulled it shut before landing with Emerald. Emerald looked out in the direction opposite of the wall and saw two giant wooden fences with an open space between them, and beyond there was a green field with no ceiling. "What is this place?" Emerald asked as he took in the sight.
"This place you see around you is the world outside of Plush Land. This mass expanse that you see with no end is the world we live in, and Plush Land is only a very, very small section of it. Emerald, this is our world. It is called Earth." Mega told him. "The green fields, the endless blue sky, and the giant green, things sticking out of the ground! It's all so beautiful!" Emerald exclaimed. "The field is made of grass and those giant things sticking out of the ground are called trees. They are plants. They are alive, but they can't move." Mega explained. Emerald then looked around and asked. "What are those flying things? And what are those things with the fluffy tails?" "The flying things are birds and the other things are squirrels. Like us, they are alive, but I can't say the same for most plushies." Mega told him.
"What do you mean when you can't say the same for other plushies?" Emerald asked. "...Unlike the plushies in Plush Land, everywhere else in this world, plushies are nothing more than inanimate objects. Plush Land is the only place in this whole massive world that has plushies who are alive like us. All other plushies are doomed to a soulless existence of staying still until they are inevitably thrown out." Mega told him. Mega then looked at the animals and pointed out, "But, unlike other plushies, the plushies of Plush Land are just as alive as the birds, the squirrels, the grass, and the trees. ...But yet, at the same time, our bodies are much more fragile than the other living beings of this world." Mega then looked towards Emerald, who was taking this all in. "I think it's time we started training." Mega told him.
Emerald and Mega then began their training. Mega and Emerald attacked each other and Mega slammed Emerald into a fence harder than any force Emerald had ever felt. Despite this, Emerald did not fall unconscious, let alone lose a life. Instead, he just ended up feeling pain. "Did you notice how despite how hard I hit you that you didn't lose a life?" Mega asked. Emerald nodded. "That's because the idea of 'lives' and 'Plush Heaven' only exist in Plush Land. Plushies have lives and go to Plush Heaven in order to protect their physical bodies from being destroyed. In the outside world, however, there are no such protections, as the Creator has no control over what happens out here. As such, we can fight out here beyond our mortal limits, unless our bodies get destroyed. You're gone for good if that happens." Mega told him.
Afterwards, Mega took Emerald by the hand and told him, "Come with me." He then flew him up to the roof above the house that Plush Land is located inside of. Mega looked towards the sky and told Emerald, "On the other hand, I'm not like the other plushies." He then pointed upwards to the sky. "I come from a place beyond the sky that you see above you, and so does the Creator, even though they don't know it yet." He then put down his arm and turned to Emerald. "That's all I'm willing to say to you for now though. I already told you more than what any other plush besides Mertle and a certain other plush know. You haven't met the plush I'm talking about though." Mega told him. Mega then shone a rainbow light on Emerald. Afterwards, he told Emerald, "Follow me!" before flying down to the grass below.
Emerald then panicked and said, "There's no way I can do that!" "Just try it!" Mega shouted. "Okay then." Emerald replied. He jumped and suddenly there was energy coming from his body that allowed him to fly. He then flew down to Mega. "The light I shone on you has given you the ability to fly." Mega told him. "I see that." Emerald responded, still in shock at his new ability. Mega then flew up towards the sky and Emerald followed him, flying up so high that they were able to see the house that Plush Land was located in as well as many of the neighboring houses. "Now this is a sight the Creator would be unable to enjoy. Unlike us, they do not have to ability to fly." Mega told him. Mega then flew down, and Emerald followed him.
Mega flew back down to the porch towards the door that led them out to the outside world in the first place, and Emerald followed. "So, how is this supposed to help me defeat the CD case and her plush order?" Emerald asked Mega. "With that light, I gave you more than just the ability of flight. You will realize your other abilities soon enough." Mega told him. They then stood there for a second. "I think it's time for us to go back. The CD case has been getting close to reaching Mt. Treadmill, so there isn't much time." Mega told him. He then opened the knob of the door and they went back in the house where Plush Land was located.
Meanwhile, Mertle, Smasher, and Easter were at Mt. Treadmill when the flying briefcase was flying near. "This isn't good. The plush order has found us and Emerald isn't back yet." Mertle stated. "THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO FOR NOW IS FIGHT!" Smasher told him. "I suppose you're right." Mertle responded. Mertle then began charging his attack as the briefcase landed. It opened up, with Black Lullaby and her allies coming out and getting into their formation. Before Mertle could pull off his Meteor Shower, however, Vanilla shouted, "VANILLA WAVE!" and attacked Mertle with his attack, ending Mertle's fourth life. Afterwards, Smasher went to fight Vanilla as Easter went to hide. "Emerald, I hope you get back here soon..." Easter muttered to herself.
Smasher lunged at Vanilla, but Vanilla quickly dodged. Vanilla then tried to use Vanilla Wave again, but before he could, someone flew down from the sky at high speeds, knocking Vanilla back. Smasher saw who it was. "YOU'RE FINALLY BACK!" Smasher cheered. It was Emerald. The other allies of Black Lullaby tried to attack Emerald, but he ended up swiftly taking down Tina, Barry, Feltsy, Tabbie, and even, to his own regret, Bunny and Bunnette, causing them all to lose whatever lives they were on. This left only Vanilla, Chocolate, and Black Lullaby. Emerald then looked at Vanilla and Chocolate, and he asked, "Don't you think there is a better way to bring peace to Plush Land?" "What kind of nonsense could you possibly be talking about?" Vanilla asked him.
"It's not nonsense." Emerald told Vanilla. He continued, "There is a better way to bring peace to Plush Land than by locking up most of the plush population and ruling with fear. Instead, we should fight to make Plush Land a peaceful place that plushies can actually be free and fight off those who want to strip that freedom from us. Freedom is what makes life so great, and we should fight to protect that, and hopefully, if we fight together, we can create a Plush Land that can have both peace and freedom. What do you think?" Vanilla then thought about it, and he replied, "It may not be likely, but together, it might just be possible. You can count me in." "Me too." Chocolate added. Vanilla and Chocolate then went to Emerald's side.
After hearing this, the CD case got angry. "Fool! You think there can be any peace found in freedom?! The world you refer to is anarchy! There is nothing peaceful about a world like that!" she shouted. She then sent waves towards Vanilla and Chocolate and took control of them. Vanilla then tried to use Vanilla Wave on Emerald and Chocolate tried to attack him, but they both missed. "It seems that she took complete control of them. It looks like the only thing I can do is take them down. I'm so sorry you two." Emerald said. Then, suddenly, a heart shaped energy formed around Emerald's nose and he fired a rainbow heart shaped beam at them. Afterwards, instead of ending one of Vanilla and Chocolate's lives, it instead brought them back to their senses and they took Emerald's side once again.
"What?!" Black Lullaby shouted. She then tried to send waves at them again, but it didn’t work. "Why you...!" she then growled before she opened herself up, about to fire a laser at Chocolate. When she did fire it though, Vanilla got in the way and took the full brunt of the blast. Afterwards, Vanilla collapsed on the ground, losing his fourth life. Chocolate then screamed, "VANILLA!" before the CD case prepared to open up again. "I'll get you this time!" she told them. She opened up and fired again at Chocolate and Vanilla, but this time, Emerald got in the way. He then collapsed on the ground and lost his seventh life. "Emerald!" Chocolate shouted. She then began crying in fear, as she was the only one left standing, besides Smasher, of course.
Not long after losing his seventh life, Emerald got back up. "No way..." Chocolate gasped with surprise. "What?! But I just killed you! How are you standing so soon after that?!" Black Lullaby shouted in shock. They then looked at Emerald and noticed something different. Emerald was emitting rainbow energy from his entire body. "Well, no matter! I will just have to bring you down again!" Black Lullaby told him. Emerald then flew the CD case faster than the eye could see and he attacked her with a single slap, sending her flying. He flew after her and she landed all the way at the top of Sky Mountain. Emerald was then about to fire a Beauty Beam at her, but she faded away. Somehow, Emerald had made Black Lullaby lose all of her lives at once.
Afterwards, Emerald flew back to the foot of Mt. Treadmill, where Vanilla and Mertle had recovered. When Emerald landed, Mertle asked him, "Did you notice how the CD case lost all of her lives immediately when you attacked her?" "Yes, I did." Emerald responded. "It turns out that you actually ended up damaging her physical body with that attack. As Mega told you before, once that happens, you're gone for good. That's what happened to her." Mertle told him. "I'm wondering, is there any place beyond Plush Heaven?" Emerald asked. "If you ask me, I believe so. I believe that once our bodies are destroyed, our spirits are judged by the gods up in their world and then we are sent to the world of spirits, where we exist among the spirits of all living things that have passed on, not just plushies." Mertle told him.
Mertle went on to tell Emerald, "Well, regardless, you now have power that exceeds that of most plushies." He then added, with a laugh, "With that kind of power, you might be able to take on the Creator himself!" Emerald then laughed and replied, "Yeah, I don't know about that one!" Afterwards, Vanilla, Chocolate, and Smasher gathered where they were. "Now, I think it's time that we freed the plushies from that giant tub that they called 'The Dungeon', don't you agree?" Mertle stated. The other plushies agreed and they made their way to the Plush City in order to free the plushies who were locked away when Black Lullaby was in power. Meanwhile, Mega watched, and he told himself, "So Emerald has unlocked the Light of Life." Mega then turned to where he was and said, "I'm so proud of him."
Afterwards, Emerald, Vanilla, Mertle and the others reached the Plush City and arrived at the blue tub known as "The Dungeon". Emerald then went to the side of it. "Move out of the way, guys!" Emerald told the others. The others then went clear of the tub. Emerald proceeded to knock the tub on its side, freeing all of the plushies that had been held captive inside of it. The plushies then cheered as Emerald landed. Queen Ann ran to Emerald and told him, "Thank you so much for saving us!" Chocolate then went to her mother and asked, "So what do you plan to do with your final life?" "I think I'm going to resume being the ruler here until it's my time to go, and I don't plan to go anytime soon!" Queen Ann told her. The plushies continued to cheer that day until Emerald and the others left to go back to Mt. Treadmill.
Afterwards, when they got back to Mt. Treadmill, Vanilla gathered everyone around. "I have something I need to tell all of you." he told them. "What is it?" Mertle asked. "Me and Chocolate are going to be leaving to live in the Plush City." Vanilla announced. "What?! Why?!" Emerald asked in shock. Vanilla looked towards Chocolate and told the others, "Chocolate is going to be having our kitten soon." "Congratulations! I wish you two and your future kitten the best of luck then." Mertle told him. "Thank you." Vanilla replied. "I'm going to miss you! Please come back sometime, okay?" Emerald asked. "I'll try!" Vanilla said. "I'LL MISS YOU TOO!" Smasher then shouted, emotionally. "Well, it's time we headed out! Bye everyone!" Vanilla said. Vanilla then headed out and left Mt. Treadmill.
Afterwards, Vanilla and Chocolate went to live in the Plush City, where the plushies had been starting to return to their regular lives and Queen Ann had taken the throne again. Meanwhile, Emerald, Mertle, Smasher, and Easter went back to training at Mt. Treadmill and Mega went back to observing from his temple once again, except he was now all alone, as Plush Legion Omega was no more. At the same time though, he realized that there wasn't any need for a Plush Legion Omega anymore with Emerald and the others around. Meanwhile, the CD case returned to the Creator lifeless and cracked. "So your body was destroyed." the Creator said. They then looked into their starry cloak and stated, "Emerald has grown to be a truly excellent being." as they were listening to the final song of the album on their radio.
Part 3: Emerald's New Power
About one plush month afterwards, as Emerald, Easter, Mertle, and Smasher were training, Easter realized something was off. "Hey Emerald, where are our children?" Easter asked. "I don't know. I saw them lose one of their lives back when I fought the CD case, but when I came back, they were gone. I haven't seen or heard from them sense." Emerald responded. Mertle then approached and told them, "I know where they are." "Please don't tell me they're in Plush Heaven!" Easter begged. "No, no, they're not dead. They're in Ugly Mug right now." Mertle told her. "What are they doing out there?!" Emerald asked in surprise. "Apparently they're trying to climb the Stairway of Spirits, from what I hear. They're on their last lives, so that might be why." he told them.
"Isn't it a bit dangerous for them to be climbing the Stairway of Spirits?" Easter asked the others. "It's not just a bit dangerous. It is extremely dangerous. Remember, me, Emerald, Vanilla, and one other plush are the only ones to come back from there alive. Many other plushies have attempted, but all of them died before they could make it to the end." Mertle told her. "That's horrible!" Easter replied in horror. "That's not the only thing that's horrible." Mertle told her. "What else could be going horribly?!" Emerald asked, scared. "There is a living Spike Hammer who has been going around, attacking any plush who dares step foot into Ugly Mug Kitchen. A few plushies have already met their ends because of him." Mertle explained. "Well, then I have to go save Bunny and Bunnette then!" Emerald yelled before leaving.
Meanwhile, Bunny and Bunnette had made it to the open area of Ugly Mug, where they saw a tall, silver hammer. One side of the hammer had spikes while the other didn't. "You dare enter my domain?!" the hammer asked them. "We are here to make the journey to get more lives!" Bunny told him. "Fools! This territory belongs to I, Spike Hammer! For intruding upon it, you shall be tenderized!" the hammer told them. The hammer then swung itself, the side with spikes facing the two bunnies. Then, just before the hammer could hit them, someone got in the way and got slammed by the spikes. It was Emerald, who then collapsed on the ground, losing his eighth life. "Daddy!" Bunny screamed. "This time, I'll get you for sure!" Spike Hammer told the bunnies. Not that long afterwards though, Emerald got back up. "What?!" the hammer exclaimed.
When Emerald got back up, he fired a Beauty Beam, which took down Spike Hammer in one hit. "Woah! That was awesome!" Bunny said in surprise. Afterwards, Emerald turned to them and asked, "So you two are trying to get more lives?" "That's right!" Bunny told him. "So, what are your motives in doing so?" Emerald asked. "So we can live longer, obviously!" Bunny told him. "That is why you would have died before you could even make the journey." Emerald then told them with a serious tone. "Eep!" Bunny said, startled. Emerald then told the bunnies, "Only those with pure intentions are able to make the journey. Unless that day comes, steer clear from that path. If you don't, you will go to the Plush Underworld." Afterwards, Emerald took the bunnies by the hand and said, "Come on. Let's go home." before leaving Ugly Mug.
Afterwards, Bunny and Bunnette would go with Emerald to Mt. Treadmill, where they would stay with him, their mother, Mertle, and Smasher. Meanwhile, as this was happening, Vanilla was out to get food for Chocolate, when he noticed two familiar faces, and he was in shock. It was Barry and Tina. He turned to them and asked, "What are you doing here?!" "We're just going to meet a friend, that's all!" Barry told him. "Yeah, Tankerang told us he was inviting Dan over, so I knew that I had to come!" Tina added. "I thought you were coming because of me!" Barry said in surprise. "I already told you, I don't like you like that." Tina reminded him. Barry then got depressed. "Well, either way, we have to go or we're going to be late!" Tina told Vanilla. The two then left. "...Who's Tankerang?" Vanilla asked himself.
When Barry and Tina arrived at their destination, Barry said, "Here we are! Romance Mountain!" "Now I'll finally be able to see Dan!" Tina added. Then, a gold cat with black stripes and amber eyes arrived. "Hi there Tankerang! Where's Dan?" Tina asked with excitement. "It's nice to see you two have come here. Welcome to the Temple of Mega." the cat told them. "Wait, what?" Tina then asked, confused. Mega then arrived and got close to Tankerang before he told them, "I guess my son's trick worked, didn't it?" They then looked around and saw Feltsy and Tabbie as well. "...Wait, what's going on here?! I thought we were here for a date!" Barry asked, annoyed. "Nope! You four and Tankerang are going to be the new Plush Legion Omega!" Mega told them. "What?!" they all exclaimed.
"Wait, but I thought you said there wasn't need for another Plush Legion Omega, with Emerald around and all!" Tankerang asked Mega in surprise. "Mertle has made me aware that dangerous times will be coming within the next few plush years, something beyond what Emerald alone will be able to handle. For when that day come, we, Plush Legion Omega, must be ready to take action." Mega told Tankerang and all of the others there. "...I thought Dan was going to be here." Tina said. Tankerang then proceeded to tell her, "Dan doesn't exist here in Plush Land. Mertle knew I could bait you if I used his liking to entice you." "No way..." Tina replied, disappointed.
About two plush months after Emerald saved his bunnies, suddenly, monsters made up of toy bricks started attacking the Plush City. Vanilla went out to face them and saw the one controlling them, a blue plush monster named Marine, who had an appearance that looked aquatic. "Why are you attacking the Plush City?!" Vanilla asked him. "Because I want to steal the heart of the queen so I can rule Plush Land through her body!" Marine answered. The brick monsters then attacked Vanilla. He shouted, "VANILLA WAVE!" as he used his attack, toppling one of the monsters. That monster then got right back up and the monsters surrounded Vanilla. "Prepare to say goodbye!" Marine told him. Before the monsters could attack though, something hit and shattered all of them. Vanilla looked to see who it was, and it was the familiar green rabbit that Vanilla knew. "Emerald!" Vanilla shouted gleefully.
After Emerald took the monsters down, Vanilla told Marine, "You're going to pay for that now!" "Oh yeah? We'll see about that! HEART STOP!" Marine shouted as he fired a red orb of energy into Emerald. Immediately after the orb entered Emerald, the green bunny had a heart attack. "Oh no! Emerald!" Vanilla said. "Emerald, I know this is your ninth life! This is the end for you!" Marine told him. Emerald collapsed on the ground, dead. Vanilla then looked at Marine furiously and shouted, "You... I'll make you pay for hurting my best friend!" He then ran at Marine and went to attack with all of his might, when suddenly, Emerald got back up. "There's no way!" Marine exclaimed. Vanilla then turned to see what had happened. "It's a miracle." Vanilla said with relief. Emerald had somehow managed to get up after losing what was supposedly his last life.
When Emerald got up, he slammed Marine to the ground, defeating him and making Marine lose one of his lives. Afterwards, Vanilla went up to Emerald and asked, "How did you survive past what should have been your final life?!" "After I lost my eighth life, Mega told me that the light he shined on me that gave me my new abilities also granted me with eleven more lives. I questioned whether or not it was true, but then again, here I am, standing when I've lost what would have otherwise been my last life. I guess what Mega told me must have been true." Emerald told him. "That means you're on your tenth life, and you still have more lives left than any other plush in Plush Land!" Vanilla told him. "I guess so!" Emerald responded. Afterwards, Emerald walked back home to Mt. Treadmill.
Part 4: Silver & the Mysterious Wolf
It had been ten plush months since Emerald went to his tenth life. Vanilla and Chocolate's kitten had been born four plush months ago and it was a girl that they decided to name Silver, after her light gray fur. She also had blue eyes and seemed larger than the average kitten. Then, one day, tragedy struck. Vanilla and Chocolate were taking Silver on a stroll in the Plush City one day when the Top Predator suddenly dashed into town. He then held Silver down and chewed on her, giving her body mortal damage. Vanilla and Chocolate panicked and tried to look for help. Desperate, they went to Marine, who had changed his ways to help Plush Land through robotics. He told them that he could help Silver live by implanting robotic parts inside her, but there would be a price. She would never grow. They accepted it, and so their daughter was brought back to life as Plush Land's first cyborg cat.
It had now been three plush years since the accident with Silver happened, when Vanilla came home to Chocolate one day. When he did, she started crying, "Silver's gone missing!" "Wait, really?!" Vanilla asked in shocked. They then looked around the Plush City and asked if anyone had seen her, but they had no luck. "Oh no... What do we do? What do we do?!" Chocolate shouted in a panic, shaking Vanilla violently. "First off, stop shaking me." Vanilla told her. She then stopped. "First thing we could do is go to the Plush Palace. If that fails, we can go see if Mertle or Mega have any idea where Silver went." Vanilla then suggested. Little did they know, but Silver actually ended up getting lost in the plush fields, and had been lost for quite a while.
As her parents were searching, Silver was in the plush fields, alone and afraid, when she saw a mountain that had been undiscovered by the majority of the plushies. She began climbing it, looking for shelter. As she was climbing, a gray blur came rushing by. She got a bit scared, but kept climbing anyways. Eventually, she got halfway up the mountain and could see a large area of Plush Land. She looked around on the mountain, when something went rushing by again. She then attempted to hide in a hole, scared of who it may be. Afterwards, Silver saw the blur jump down from the top of the mountain, landing near where she was located. She then peeked her head out. It was a gray and white plush with beautiful blue eyes. Silver could tell it was some kind of animal, but she couldn’t tell what kind. The plush then approached Silver, and her heart began pounding. When the plush reached her, they told her in a kind voice, "Please don't be scared. I mean you no harm."
Afterwards, the plush gave Silver their hand. Silver, who was still a bit nervous, grabbed their hand, and they pulled her up. They then told her, "My name is Wolf. It's nice to meet you. You're the first plush I've seen in years." After introducing himself, Wolf, who was in fact a wolf, asked, "What's your name?" "My name is Silver." Silver told him. "What brings you to a place like this?" Wolf asked her. "I got separated from my mommy." Silver told him. She then asked, "What are you doing in a place like this?" "Oh, me? It's kind of a long story. Long ago, I was training under my teacher, Delicious, when plushies started accusing me one day of ending King Lion's first life. Before I knew it, even my teacher was taking their side, so I ran, and I kept on running, and then eventually, I ended up here. I've been here ever since, living as an outcast here in Plush Land." Wolf then told her.
Afterwards, Wolf told Silver, "You can stay with me if you like. The chances of your parents ever finding this place is very unlikely. At least, this way, you won't be alone and starve to death. In the end though, I suppose it's up to you though. I'm just a lone wolf in the most literal sense." Silver accepted his offer followed him. "You're the only plush in this world who actually accepts me. That means a lot to me. I don't know about anyone else, but I'll make sure that you get to survive no matter what, even if it costs me my own life. Hopefully things won't come down to that though." Wolf told Silver. Afterwards, Silver started living with Wolf in on the mountain, away from where any plush would likely find them.
Five plush days later, Emerald and Mertle had just arrived back from trying to chase the Top Predator away from the Temple of Mega, where Emerald lost his tenth life and Mertle lost his fifth. When they arrived in the Plush City, Emerald noticed how Vanilla and Chocolate weren't around. "Where did Vanilla and Chocolate go?" Emerald asked, wondering. Later, after coming back from looking in the plush fields, Vanilla and Chocolate headed back to the Plush City, and Vanilla stated, "At this rate, we might have to go to Mt. Treadmill to find her." They then walked by Emerald and Mertle, when Emerald asked, "How are you doing Vanilla?" This startled Vanilla and the two turned around before Vanilla shouted, "Silver's been missing for over five plush days now!" "That's horrible!" Emerald shouted back.
After hearing what Vanilla told them, Mertle stood there for a second. Afterwards, Mertle turned to Vanilla and Chocolate and told them, "I may have an idea where your daughter might have headed." "Really?!" Vanilla asked. "It's only a feeling of mine, but after all these years of being around, I think I have a good idea. Follow me. We're about to go to a place almost untouched by plushies." Mertle told them. Mertle then turned to Emerald. "You go home. I highly doubt there is anything where we are going that the three of us can't handle." he told him. Afterwards, Mertle led the way for Vanilla and Chocolate to where he thought that Silver might have gone.
Later that evening, Wolf and Silver were eating vanilla beans together on the mountain. Suddenly, Wolf noticed something. "I sense a presence nearby. No, not just one presence. I sense three, two of them being pretty powerful. We should be on guard." Wolf told Silver. Afterwards, Vanilla, Chocolate, and Mertle arrived at where Wolf and Silver were located. Vanilla looked at Wolf and told him in a hostile tone, "I don't know who you are, but whoever you are, you better return Silver to us at once!" Wolf then turned to Silver and told her, "Go hide in the hole behind me. You're still young. Let me handle this." Silver listened and hid. Wolf then turned to the others and asked them in a serious tone, "Are you two the parents of this kitten?" "They are indeed." Mertle told him. "That's why you should return Silver right now if you know what's good for you!" Chocolate shouted.
"If you two are truly Silver's parents, then you have failed at your duty of being parents. Silver has had to stay with me over the past five plush days due to your irresponsible parenting. Any good parent would never let their child run off like this. You two don't deserve to call yourselves parents. You are the worst parents I have ever seen in my life. I certainly know that the cat who raised me would never let something like this happen!" Wolf told them, growling. Chocolate then started sprinting towards Wolf and shouted, "RETURN. SILVER. NOW!!!" before she leaped at Wolf. Wolf then fired ice blue needles of energy from his hand, stabbing Chocolate in the heart, causing her to lose her second life. "CHOCOLATE!" Vanilla screamed.
After seeing Chocolate lose her second life, Vanilla got furious. "I'm going to make you pay very dearly for this. NO ONE EVER LAYS A HAND ON MY WIFE!" he shouted. He then screamed, "VANILLA WAVE!" as he used his special attack, sending a wave of energy at Wolf. Wolf, however, broke through his attack and punched Vanilla in the gut at full force. Vanilla then hit the ground and collapsed from the sheer force of the attack, causing Vanilla to lose his fifth life. Meanwhile, Wolf noticed that Mertle began to charge an attack. "I've heard about you from my old teacher. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to bring you down as well." Wolf told him. Wolf then began running towards him, when someone flew down from above, stopping him in his tracks. "You didn't think I'd trust you three by yourselves, did you?" they then said. It was Emerald the bunny.
After landing, Emerald looked around and told Wolf, "You ended one of Vanilla and Chocolate's lives, didn't you?! They were just trying to protect their daughter! I can't forgive you for doing this!" "I am only doing this to protect Silver from these irresponsible parents!" Wolf told him. "That doesn't matter! Vanilla and Chocolate are still Silver's parents, and I will not forgive you for keeping them apart!" Emerald told him. "Get out of here you rabbit!" Wolf then shouted, firing needles of energy towards Emerald. Emerald dodged all of them, but when he did, they end up hitting Mertle instead, causing the old turtle to lose his sixth life. "And now you've hurt Mertle too?! That's it! You're going down!" Emerald shouted. Emerald fired a Beauty Beam at Wolf, which hit him. Wolf then howled before he ended up losing a life.
Afterwards, Emerald then went to the hole where Silver was hiding and pulled her out. "There! I took care of that horrible Wolf!" Emerald told her. "You guys don't understand Wolf at all!" Silver cried. "He hurt my best friend, his wife, and my teacher. I don't know what else there could be to understand. When someone hurts those who are close to me, then it doesn't matter to me who they are. They're going down!" Emerald told her. Emerald then ended up taking Silver to the Plush City, carrying Vanilla, Chocolate, and Mertle. When they got to the Plush City, Emerald took them to Vanilla's home and waited for the three to recover.
Later, Vanilla, Chocolate, and Mertle recovered. "You saved us once again, didn't you Emerald?" Vanilla asked him. "I'm so relieved that Silver is finally safe from that horrible plush!" Chocolate told them. "None of you understand Wolf at all!" Silver then cried. "Now what could you possibly mean by that?!" Chocolate asked in a sharp tone. "Wolf was just trying to protect me because I'm the first plush he's seen in years! I'm the only one who ever actually looked out for him! Everyone else thinks that he's just a horrible traitor who ended King Lion's first life, when he really didn't do anything wrong and got driven to the mountains for nothing!" Silver told them. "She sure can say a lot for her age." Emerald remarked. "That's because she's part robot." Vanilla told him. "What are you talking about?! King Lion was your grandfather!" Chocolate yelled at Silver.
Mertle then stood for a second before telling the others, "Bulldog was the one who actually ended King Lion's first life though. Everyone thought that Wolf did it back at that time because they thought he looked suspicious. Wolf is actually a goodhearted plush who is just very overly protective. He became that way while he was being raised by Delicious, where he was very protective over him and saw him not only as a teacher, but also as a father. Wolf was probably just testing your worth as parents. That's just the kind of plush that Wolf is. The Wolf I knew really wasn't a bad plush at all." "...Wait. Are you telling me that Wolf was raised by my father?!" Vanilla asked in shock. "That's right." Mertle told him. "If only we'd have actually known..." Chocolate then said. Afterwards, Emerald and Mertle went home to Mt. Treadmill and they would all live a fairly normal life until the next chapter of their lives.
Part 5: The Creator's Test
One day, the Creator was watching over Plush Land, as they again noticed Emerald's power when he managed to once again take down the Spike Hammer. The Creator then told themself, "Emerald has become pretty powerful ever since before the defeat of the CD case. I wonder if I should test the abilities of him, Vanilla, and Mertle." The Creator then looked at their starry cloak, and then they gave it life before sending it down to Plush Land. "It's time to watch." the Creator said, as the cloak flew down the Stairway of Spirits.
Meanwhile, it was two plush months after the fight with Wolf, when Vanilla, Chocolate, and Silver were having an ordinary day in the Plush City. Vanilla was looking outside when suddenly, darkness fell upon Plush Land and Vanilla began to start seeing stars in the sky instead of the usual ceiling. He then turned to his wife and asked, "Do you see this?" There was no response. Vanilla went to look at Chocolate and Silver, and noticed that both of them had stopped moving. Vanilla then went to feel their hearts and neither of theirs were beating. Vanilla then went outside and then saw that it wasn't just Chocolate and Silver. All of the plushies in the Plush City were also completely lifeless. "What is going on here?!" Vanilla asked in horror.
Vanilla went to the Plush Palace to see if Queen Ann was okay, but like the other plushies, she was also lifeless. Vanilla then went out to the Plush City and said, "I've checked everywhere in the Plush City! The only place I really have left to check is Mt. Treadmill. Hopefully Emerald and the others are still okay!" He then began heading there. As he was, someone flew to where he was. It was Mega. "So you've noticed it too?" Vanilla asked him. "It's not just here. This is going on even in Ugly Mug. There are stars in the sky there as well and just like here, all of the plushies and other beings that usually are alive are now lifeless. The only exceptions are me, the Top Predator, and from the looks of it, you." Mega told him. He then looked at the sky and added, "Also, these stars are preventing me and the Top Predator from climbing the Stairway of Spirits."
"I'm heading to Mt. Treadmill to see if Emerald and the others are affected by this. What about you?" Vanilla asked Mega. "I'm actually heading there as well to check the same thing." Mega responded. "Good! Then let's head there together!" Vanilla told Mega. They then walked their way to the foot of Mt. Treadmill. Meanwhile, at the foot, Emerald and Mertle had noticed the same thing, and that Easter, Bunny, Bunnette, and Smasher were all lifeless as well. "Do you think that Vanilla and the others are affected as well?" Emerald asked Mertle. "I'm sure this likely affects all of the plushies in Plush Land as well as Ugly Mug Kitchen besides us and a couple of others. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest though if Vanilla himself was okay though." Mertle told him. Just at that moment, Vanilla and Mega arrived. "See? What did I tell you?" Mertle told Emerald with a slight laugh.
Vanilla saw Emerald and Mertle and said, "Well, it's good to know that you two are okay at least!" Mega then looked to Mertle and asked, "Do you have any idea what might be going on here?" "I'm sure you've realized that the stars in the sky are actually part of a giant physical object covering this huge area. That's why you're unable to climb the Stairway of Spirits, am I correct?" Mertle asked Mega. Mega then nodded. "Now, let me ask, do you recognize the pattern of the stars in the sky?" Mertle asked. Mega then looked up and gasped when he realized. Emerald and Vanilla looked up and gasped when they realized it too. "I take it from your reactions that you do as well. It's the same as the Creator's starry cloak. I'm sure the events that are unfolding might have some sort of connection with the Creator as well." Mertle told them.
"Why are all the plushies lifeless?" Vanilla proceeded to ask. "Well, I don't know whether or not you've seen it for yourself, but the Creator's starry cloak has the ability to create souls. The truth is though, the reverse is also true. The cloak is also able to absorb souls. That is what happened to the other plushies." Mertle explained. "So, why are we still moving then?" Emerald asked. "I know that me, Mega, and the Top Predator are okay because we were not created by the Creator, and you also had power granted to you by Mega, making you immune as well. I have no idea why Vanilla is unaffected though." Mertle told them. "Do you think it might be because I've had more lives granted to me by the Creator?" Vanilla asked. "Possibly. If that's the case, Meanie Cat is probably okay too, but we wouldn't know because he's above where we can reach with this cloak." Mertle responded.
"So, what do we do?!" Emerald asked. "...I think it may be possible to save Plush Land and Ugly Mug if we could just somehow destroy the cloak." Mertle responded. "Me and the Top Predator have both tried destroying the cloak, but we have had no success. The cloak is just too durable." Mega told them. Emerald then began flying up. "What are you doing?" Mertle asked him. "I have an idea." Emerald told them. Afterwards, Emerald began emitting rainbow energy, just like he did back when he fought Black Lullaby. Then, Emerald began flying at the cloak at top speed, and he created a bulge in the cloak as he pushed against it. Emerald then concentrated all of the energy towards his nose and fired a Beauty Beam at the cloak, but the cloak deflected the beam back at Emerald. Emerald then fell to the ground and collapsed, losing his eleventh life.
Not that long afterwards, Emerald got back up. He then turned to the others and told them, "That cloak is really powerful!" "Yeah, this might be a tough one." Mega added. Vanilla then came up with an idea. "Hey, maybe if you two combine your power and attack it, maybe you'll be able to do something!" he suggested. "Well, there's not really many other things we can try, so it's worth a shot!" Mega responded. "I agree! This might actually work! Let's do this!" Emerald then said. "Good luck you two!" Mertle told them. Emerald began emitting rainbow energy once again, and together, Emerald and Mega flew towards the cloak and attacked.
When Emerald and Mega attacked the cloak covering the sky together, they ended up making an even bigger bulge. Despite this, however, they still could not break through. "It looks like at this rate, I might have to go to my last resort." Mega stated. "Your last resort?!" Emerald asked. "Emerald, you should probably back up. You might end up getting permanently damaged if you're too close when I do this." Mega told him. Emerald understood and flew back down to the foot of Mt. Treadmill. "Well, here it goes!" Mega said. He then began glowing in light, and after the light had faded, Mega's body had turned solid and his arms became really sharp as if they were swords. Mega then swung his arms at the cloak, slashing it. This made two huge rips in the cloak. The cloak then disappeared. Afterwards, Mega flew away, exhausted.
After the cloak disappeared, Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle noticed that Bunny, Bunnette, Easter, and Smasher were all moving again. "You're all right!" Emerald yelled to Easter in glee. "What are you talking about?" Easter asked, confused. Everywhere, life had returned to the plushies throughout Plush Land and Ugly Mug, all of them completely oblivious to what had happened to them not long before. Vanilla then ran home to the Plush City to see Chocolate and Silver, and when he got home, he was relieved. "I'm so happy that you're alright!" Vanilla told them. "I should be the one saying that to you! You've had me worried sick when you just disappeared like that!" Chocolate responded. Meanwhile, the starry cloak, now torn and powerless, fell to the mountain where Wolf was staying. He then saw it and asked, "What's this?"
Two plush days after life returned to Plush Land, Wolf was on the mountain eating vanilla beans with the torn starry cloak that fell there, as he was speculating as to what the cloak might be. At that moment, the Creator appeared before him. "Who are you?" Wolf asked them. "I'm the Creator. I came here to find my cloak." They told him. They then grabbed the cloak and looked at it, seeing the two large tears in it. "I guess it can't be helped." the Creator said. The Creator looked at Wolf and told him, "Thank you for protecting this for me." They then disappeared along with the cloak. "Well, I guess that answers my questions." Wolf told himself before he continued to eat his vanilla beans.
Part 6: The Origins of Plush Land
Not that long after the Creator found their cloak, Emerald and Mertle were training at Mt. Treadmill with Smasher, Easter, Bunny, and Bunnette when the Creator appeared and grabbed Emerald and Mertle before disappearing. "Daddy!" Bunny screamed. "Emerald... What happened...?" Easter asked herself. "HEY! COME BACK HERE YOU COWARD! BRING EMERALD AND MERTLE BACK!" Smasher shouted towards the sky. Afterwards, the Creator appeared in the Plush City and grabbed Vanilla before disappearing with all of them. "Vanilla!" Chocolate cried. The plushies close to them all began freaking out. Meanwhile, Tankerang observed from the Temple of Mega. "Is this the time you were referring to?" he asked Mega. "No. This is not the time. Everything will be taken care of, don't worry. We do not need to get involved." Mega told him.
Some time afterwards, Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle all woke up. When they did, they were in a place filled with stars, and they could see what appeared to be planets in the sky. The surface they were standing on was soft and covered in a light starry pattern. "...What is this place?" Vanilla asked. "That is something that even I don't know." Mertle responded. Afterwards, the Creator appeared before them, but this time, with no starry cloak, as that had been destroyed. "You three have done well!" the Creator told the three plushies. "It's just as I imagined. You were testing us all along." Mertle said to the Creator. "That is correct. I sent my starry cloak to test you three and Mega, and needless to say, you passed with flying colors!" the Creator told them. "What is this place?" Vanilla asked. "This is Creation Summit." the Creator then told them.
"Creation Summit?" Vanilla asked the Creator in curiosity. "That is correct. This is the place where I create the souls for new plushies and observe what goes on throughout all of Plush Land and its connected lands. I only observe for one day out of every four though." the Creator told them. "What about all of the other days?!" Emerald asked in surprise. "I'm either busy with school, sleeping, or doing various duties to protect Plush Land that only I am able to do as the Creator." the Creator explained to them. "So if you were testing all of us including Mega, then why didn't you bring Mega here as well?" Vanilla asked them. "I have brought you three here to tell you more about me. Mega already knows what I am about to tell you, which is why I did not bring him here." the Creator told them.
"So, I'm sure you already know that Plush Land and it's connected lands are actually just rooms of an ordinary house in this huge world called Earth. Well, I'm sure Emerald and Mertle already know this, at the very least." The Creator told them. "Wait, really? You mean... that all of us are just toys that you are playing with?" Vanilla asked. "That is not the case, though I can see why you would come to that conclusion, as that is the case for most plushies outside of this house. The plushies here, however, are the only ones in the world that are alive. As such, everyone else in this world is scared to approach this house." the Creator told them. "Everyone else is scared of Plush Land? How come?" Emerald asked. "I think it's best if I start from the beginning." The Creator responded. The Creator then told them how it all began.
A little over 12 human years ago, which was around 49 plush years ago, the house that would become Plush Land was just an ordinary house. There was a husband, a wife, their three kids, and their cat. Then, a baby arrived at their doorstep. At this time, the mother had a collection of lifeless plush cats, and then there was the one plush cat that wasn't lifeless, being Mega, who observed the baby's arrival. The parents were a bit objected to taking in this baby, but after the other children cried and begged, they took the baby in as their own. One day, the baby was crying as the other kids were playing around. Mega saw this, and when no one was looking, he jumped down and sneaked his way to the baby. Mega then went up to the baby and decided to comfort them. The baby noticed Mega's beating heart and realized that Mega was alive. The baby and Mega then embraced each other, the beginning of their lasting friendship.
After a year, the family celebrated the baby's first birthday. The parents, realizing how much the baby enjoyed Mega, got the baby a huge bag full of plushies. After their birthday, the baby tried to have fun with the other plushies, but the baby noticed that the other plushies wouldn't do anything no matter what they tried. The baby then went to feel the plushies and noticed that they did not have beating hearts. Unlike Mega, these plushies were not alive. They were inanimate objects. When the baby realized this, they became sad, and began crying, hoping that the plushies would do something. Then, a rainbow light began shining from the baby's heart and the light covered the plushies. Afterwards, every plush that the light had touched came to life. Some of the light also hit the family's pet cat, making the cat more powerful. Plush Land was born, and the baby was their Creator.
For the Creator as well as Mega, the plushies coming to life was a miracle, and both of them were filled with glee. The parents, however, did not have quite the same reaction. The parents were terrified. The parents called the other kids and told them that they were leaving. They then left the house, leaving the Creator and Mega with the plushies who had just come to life. Eventually, the plushies organized to protect the baby and as such, the royal family of Plush Land formed, with King Lion as its king and Queen Ann as its queen. Among the plushies was also Delicious, Bull-Nod Doggy, the dinosaurs that would later become King Tornado I and King Tornado II, Ms. Fabulous, among other plushies. Their goal was to make sure that the Creator and Mega would not be alone in the house without the others.
A few days later, which was about two plush weeks, the parents came back to the house, and with them was a priest from the local church. The priest thought that the Creator had been possessed by the devil, and tried his hardest to exorcise them. Their efforts failed, as the Creator was not possessed by any sort of supernatural entity. Mega then went up to the parents and the priest and told them, "Maybe instead of being afraid of this child's ability to create life, maybe you should be more kind and accepting towards them." The priest then got terrified and shouted, "The plush speaks! It's a demon!" before holding out a cross and even trying to use holy water on Mega, but neither did anything. Mega then surrounded himself in a bright green light before turning himself into a young human girl. In this form, he had short black hair, green eyes, and wore a black dress. Mega told them, "You should accept us for who we are instead of shunning us because we're different." This freaked the priest out even more.
Afterwards, Mega went to the Creator and then, using his hand, he teleported them to a room upstairs in a flash of light blue energy. After that day, the Creator did not see their parents or the other kids much anymore, except for once every two weeks when they would drop food and other necessities off for the Creator and their cat, which they left with the Creator due to the cat being so powerful. The Creator asked for them to bring double the amount of cat necessities to take care of Mega as well, and they agreed to. Mega would also bring vanilla beans to Plush Land as well so the plushies could eat. Ever since, the plushies had to take care of the Creator. Life remained this way up until the Creator was around five, which was when the dinosaurs and the cats started battling each other. Afterwards, the Creator would have to take care of themselves, and the only one to help take care of the Creator would be Mega.
After the Creator told Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle everything, they then added, "Also, ever since that day, everyone has been scared of me and the plushies and stay away from the house. Everyone tries to stay away from me whenever I'm out and nobody outside of Plush Land is willing to be friends with me." Afterwards, the Creator told them, "I'm sorry if I sound like a crybaby right now." "There's nothing wrong with wanting to get things off your chest." Mertle told them. Mertle then added, "Back when your mother was young, I was always there for her even during the worst of times, and I was also there for your grandmother, your great-grandmother, and even your great-great-grandmother and before even that, all the way back to when I was born in 1812. If you have anything you need to say, I'm always willing to listen." Mertle told them.
The Creator then turned to the three plushies and told them, "By the way, my actual name is Zane. That's the name my parents gave me." Emerald and Vanilla's minds were blown, but Mertle stood for a second, and told the Creator, "I already knew that was your name. Doesn't 'the Creator' sound like a cooler name to go by though? It's a pretty cool nickname if you ask me!" This made the Creator smile. Afterwards, the Creator told them, "By the way, I'm sorry for causing so much trouble with my starry cloak." "It's okay. No harm was done." Mertle told the Creator. Afterwards, the Creator took the three in their arms and told them, "I think it's time I return you three to Plush Land. I'm sure your families are worried sick about you." The Creator then took the plushies back to Plush Land. When they got back, their family were relieved and they went back to living their normal lives.
Part 7: The Creator's First Human Friend
The day after meeting Emerald, Vanilla, and Mertle, the Creator got woken up early in the morning by the Top Predator, who was begging them for food. This is how the Creator woke up every morning, and if it wasn’t the Top Predator waking them up, it was Mega. Though the plushies tended not to be able to tell, the Creator had curly brown hair and green eyes, and was wearing a dark blue t-shirt and black sweatpants. They then got up from their bed, which was Creator Summit. They walked out of their room, which was Plush Heaven and went past the curtain that was known by the plushies as the barrier. They then walked down the stairway that was called the Stairway of Spirits and walked down to their kitchen, called Ugly Mug Kitchen by the plushies.
With a yawn, the Creator walked towards the white fridge that the plushies thought was a white tower, and grabbed some cat food off the top of it. They then filled the Top Predator’s bowl that wasn’t for food with water. They then opened a can and put it in the food bowl in kitchen for the Top Predator. Once the Top Predator began eating, they went upstairs to their room, which was where Mega's bowls were located, and put food and water in there as well. They then walked through the room that was the Plush Underworld and went to the bathroom, which was connected to the room, and they begin to take a shower, leaving the plushies in the next room to scream in terror at the sight of the Creator bathing. After they finished, they put their clothes back on and brushed their teeth, before going downstairs to the kitchen.
When the Creator got back to the kitchen, they went to the white rack and grabbed a pack of off-brand strawberry toaster pastries out of a box. They then plugged in the toaster, opened the pack of pastries, and put them in. When they were done, the Creator put the two pastries on a plate and ate them. They then put on a pair of black and blue sneakers, and grabbed their blue bookbag off of one of the chairs by the kitchen table that the Top Predator slept underneath of, putting that on as well. They then went through their living room, which was Plush Land, and went to the front door of the house where they put on their socks and shoes before leaving the house. They went outside to wait on the school bus to come, and when it got there, the Creator got on.
When the Creator got on the bus, the driver drove them to school. The Creator was the only one on the bus, as the school decided to put them on their own special bus to keep them away from the other students. After a relatively short ride, the bus dropped the Creator off at their school. The Creator was in middle school and was in the sixth grade. The season was spring, meaning that they were in the later part of the school year. The Creator then walked into the school, and just like any other day, all of the students steered clear of them as they walked to their locker to prepare for their first class. The school that the Creator went to had block scheduling, which meant that some classes happened on one day, called Day A, and some classes happened on the other day, Day B. Today was a Day A, meaning that the Creator's first class of the day was Science.
When the Creator was in Science class, they were doing a group lab, and the Creator had to find someone to group with. They tried to ask other students, but none of the students would group with them. Eventually, all of the groups were full and the Creator was left alone. The teacher saw this, so they chose a random group and stuck the Creator with them. The other students used this opportunity and asked the Creator to do some of the work. They then had the Creator do all of the work so that they could just goof off. The group then ended up getting an F from the teacher as punishment for the other group members goofing off, though the Creator did all of the work correctly. Afterwards, class ended and the Creator went off to their next class, Band.
The Creator originally wanted to join chorus, as singing was one of the things they enjoyed, but the school didn't allow them in the chorus. As such, the Creator thought Band would be the next best thing. In the class, the Creator was assigned to playing one of the snare drums, and whenever they made even the tiniest of mistakes, the other students would always give them a dirty look. Towards the end of class, the Creator was walking by the bass drum in the classroom when one of the students tried to push them into it. The teacher then stopped the other student and gave them a referral to go to the office. The student left, but not before giving the Creator a menacing look.
After band class, it was lunchtime. The Creator sat at a table by themself, as no one would sit near them. The Creator then pulled out their lunch, which they packed, and they opened their lunch box. In the lunch box was a tuna sandwich contained in a plastic box with a translucent lid that read "Amazing", a cup of fruit, being pears on this particular day, as well as a bottle of water. As they sat by themselves, the Creator noticed that someone else was also sitting by themselves. She was a girl with blood red hair and green eyes, who wore a red hoodie, gray sweatpants, and black shoes. Seeing this, the Creator went to her and asked, "Why are you by yourself?"
The girl responded to the Creator and told them, "Everyone's afraid of me because I'm not normal." "How come?" the Creator asked. The girl then held her hands open. "I'm only going to do this once, okay?" the girl told them. The girl then created fire from her hands and before quickly putting it out. Afterwards, the girl asked, "I noticed that you're also by yourself. Why is that?" "Ever since I brought life to plushies and some other inanimate objects, everyone's been staying away from me. The only friends I have are the plushies at my house. I don't have anyone outside of there." the Creator told her. The girl then looked at the Creator and told them, "I'm here, and I'm not afraid being around you. What's your name?"
"My name is Zane. I'm also called the Creator by some." the Creator told the girl. "Well, it's nice to meet you. My name's Abby. We should be friends." the girl then told them. The Creator then smiled and replied, "Of course!" Lunchtime was then over, and with that meant that it was time for the Creator's gym class. As they were walking through the halls, someone noticed the Creator and Abby. The person then stated, "I sense something special about those two. Could they be who we're looking for?" They then thought to themselves and then concluded, "No, it is not yet time to look for them, for he has not yet returned. Until that time comes though, I'll keep my eyes on those two whenever they're here." The person then disappeared.
The Creator went to gym class. They changed into a white shirt and shorts before the class went out onto the field. The teacher instructed the students to play football on the field, but the other students refused to let the Creator play in their teams, and the teacher did nothing to stop it. As such, the Creator was left having to observe instead of actually playing. After class ended, the Creator went to go change back into their normal clothes and went to their next class, which was English. This class and the class after were only half as long, but were on both days. In English, it was a free-read day, so the Creator pulled out the book that they brought with them, which was a fantasy book about cats, and they read it. The next class after was their honors Math class, where they were just doing regular math work. These were the only classes where the students didn't treat the Creator badly, since there was rarely any interaction.
Afterwards, the Creator went to one of their after school clubs. At this school, students were made to sign up for four different clubs, and they would go to one of the clubs every day except for Friday, where they went to homeroom instead. Today, the Creator went to their drawing club, which is something else they enjoyed. The Creator usually drew pictures of thoughts they had in their head, which was usually of alien cats. Today, however, they decided to draw something else. They began drawing a picture of a certain plush. As they were drawing, Abby, who was also in the same club, came up to them and asked, "Hi! What are you drawing?"
Abby looked at what the Creator was drawing in their journal and asked, "Is that a rabbit?" "It is. It's a drawing of a plush bunny I brought to life. His name is Emerald." the Creator told them. "I like it!" Abby told them. She then brought out what she was drawing and told the Creator, "This is what I've been drawing. What do you think of it?" Abby asked. They looked at it. It was a detailed drawing of a cat. The cat was rainbow colored and had white eyes. "It's a very nice drawing. You're much better than I am at this!" the Creator told them. "Thank you, but yours is good too!" Abby replied. After this, The two of them drew together until the school day ended. When the day did end, the Creator would get on the bus and go home.
Not that long afterwards, the bus dropped the Creator off at home. The Creator then went to the kitchen and grabbed themselves a snack out of one of the shelves. It was a bag of white cheddar popcorn. They ate it before doing their homework and going up to their bed, which is Creation Summit, and watching over Plush Land for a few hours, a little under a plush day. They then made dinner for themselves by boiling up some chicken flavor instant ramen. After eating the ramen, they would feed the Top Predator and Mega again, as well as changing the litter box and taking out the trash, which had to be done twice a week. They then brushed their teeth again and prepared to go to bed.
Before they went to bed, Mega flew up to the Creator's room and onto their bed. "So, how did your day go today?" he asked them. "At first, it was just the usual being avoided, excluded, and being pushed around, but today, I finally made a friend outside of Plush Land." the Creator told him. "That's good! What's your friend's name?" Mega asked. "My new friend is a red haired girl named Abby. Just like me, everyone else is scared of her because she's different." the Creator told him. "How so?" Mega asked. "She can create fire." the Creator responded. "Is there anything else?" Mega asked. "We showed each other our drawings. She drew this amazing picture of this rainbow cat with white eyes!" the Creator told him. "You don't say?!" Mega said in surprise. "What's wrong?" the Creator asked. "It's nothing! Really!" Mega replied with a laugh. Afterwards, the Creator went to bed, happy to have made a new friend.
#3: Battle for Plush Land
Part 1: The Four Dinosaur Rulers
It had been three plush months since Mega destroyed the starry cloak. In the Plush Underworld, King Tornado, King Bones, King Horns the Great, and Queen Sesaria had all found each other again. When they did, a certain rainbow bear descended to meet them. "It's you again!" Sesaria exclaimed. "Who again?" King Tornado asked. "My name is Rainbow. It's nice to see the four original rulers of Dinosaur Valley meet each other once again." he told them. "What do you want with us?" Sesaria asked him. "Well, I thought to celebrate this special occasion, I would send you four to Ugly Mug Kitchen to help defeat that bunny Emerald." Rainbow told them. Afterwards, Rainbow sent the four down to Ugly Mug. "This should be fun." Rainbow then told himself.
Meanwhile, on the same day, Emerald was training on Mt. Treadmill with Easter, Mertle, Smasher, Bunny, and Bunnette, when a giant light orange tabby cat appeared at the mountain's foot. "Spike Hammer is attacking in Ugly Mug again! I barely managed to get away without losing one of my lives!" the cat told them. "Don't worry! I'll take care of it! This isn't the first time I've dealt with him!" Emerald told him. Emerald then flew away towards Ugly Mug. "That dumb bunny fell right into our trap." the cat muttered as he laughed to himself and walked away.
Emerald then flew into Ugly Mug Kitchen, and when he got there, he noticed something was off. "Where's the Spike Hammer?" Emerald asked. He looked at the open area and saw what appeared to be a tiny bone dinosaur. "Who's this?" Emerald asked himself before he flew down. Emerald then looked at the tiny dinosaur and he stated, "It looks like King Bones, but smaller! I beat him once before, so this time shouldn't be a problem either!" He then charged at the dinosaur, but the dinosaur slapped Emerald with his tail, causing him to collapse to the ground, losing his twelfth life. "What a fool! This is the Emerald everyone was talking about?!" the dinosaur said.
Not that long afterwards, Emerald got back up. The tiny dinosaur then told him, "I'm King Tornado! You're a fool for thinking something like that would work!" After he said that, King Bones also walked into the open area. "I'm here too!" he told them. Afterwards, Emerald began emitting rainbow energy. "The two of us will bring you-!" King Tornado was beginning to say before Emerald gave the tiny dinosaur a hard slap, causing him to hit the giant counter nearby, defeating the tiny dinosaur. Emerald then fired a Beauty Beam at King Bones, causing the giant bone dinosaur to go down as well. "Well, that wasn't too hard!" Emerald remarked as he powered down. Just after he did so, two other dinosaurs attacked him at full force, causing Emerald to lose his thirteenth life.
When Emerald got back up shortly after, he saw the ones who attacked him, which were Sesaria and a red triceratops. "So you're here too Sesaria?!" Emerald asked in surprise. "Not just me! My father's here too! Meet King Horns the Great! The two of us will bring you down!" Sesaria told him. "Well, for sneak-attacking me, you two are going down!" Emerald shouted before he began emitting rainbow energy again. He then slammed into Sesaria, causing her to be defeated in one blow. "I'm not as weak as my daughter is! I'll bring you-!" King Horns began to say before Emerald fired a Beauty Beam at him as well. Afterwards, King Horns was defeated as well. "Now I've taken care of everything!" Emerald said. He then began to walk home when the Top Predator slapped him, causing him to lose his fourteenth life. Shortly after, he got back up and told himself, "Luck is really not on my side today!" He then went home to live his regular life.
After King Tornado, King Bones, King Horns the Great, and Queen Sesaria died once again, the Creator appeared before all of them except for King Bones. "Fancy seeing you again Creator! It's been a long time! How are things going?" King Tornado asked them. "Enough with the garbage. I saw what the three of you did. Each one of you was responsible for Emerald losing one of his lives when you shouldn't have even been able to go down to Ugly Mug Kitchen in the first place." the Creator told them in a stern voice. "But Creator! Don't you like me? I'm a super cool dinosaur! Dinosaurs are awesome! Surely you agree, right?" King Tornado asked them in panic. "There's nothing cool about what the three of you did. It's time for you three to meet your end for good. DECREATE!" the Creator told them with rage before they destroyed the bodies of the three dinosaurs, but without the cloak, their souls could not be absorbed.
Part 2: New Life in Ugly Mug Kitchen
Some time after the four dinosaur rulers were defeated, the Creator went down to Ugly Mug Kitchen and looked around. "Compared to Plush Land, this place feels kind of lifeless. The only ones I see here are the Valentine Devil, the Spike Hammer, and of course, the Top Predator, but he goes everywhere anyways." they stated. Afterwards, they shone a light over many of the objects in Ugly Mug, causing them to come to life. "Now, will the new Ugly Muggians be able to find peace with Plush Land, or will the landscape here become barren again? Or, what if, in the unlikely off chance, Plush Land becomes barren? I certainly hope that doesn't happen. Regardless of what happens though, this should definitely spice things up around here." the Creator then said. Afterwards, the Creator disappeared from Ugly Mug.
When life was brought to Ugly Mug, there were two tribes. There was the Utensil Tribe, who had just as many lives as the plushies, but were fewer in number, and there was the Bottle Tribe, who had only one life, but were greater in number. The leader of the Utensil Tribe was named Mr. Fork, a leader that was not to be trifled with, as many bottles tried to face him, but few would come back to tell the tale. The Bottle Tribe, however, also had a leader, being Laundry Detergent. To make up for only having one life, Laundry Detergent strived to become the strongest of the bottles, and succeeded. Despite this, he had not attacked any of the Utensil Tribe. Instead, he mainly preferred to attack traveling plushies instead, but usually fled if he was unable to handle going up against them. Eventually though, two plush years after the two tribes came to be, there was one member of the Utensil Tribe who wanted to change Ugly Mug forever.
One day, there was a battle between a group of Sporty sport drink bottles and a few members of the Utensil Tribe. The group from the Utensil Tribe was led by Lunch Box, a living camouflage lunch box, and following him were Mr. Spoon, a living stainless steel spoon, and Amazing Box, a living sandwich box with a translucent lid that has the words "Amazing" written on it. The one leading the Sporty bottles, Light Green Sporty said, "We will no longer stand for you harming random innocent water bottles!" To this, Lunch Box replied, "You're really messing with the wrong guy." "What do you mean by that?!" the leader of the bottles asked. Lunch Box then turned to Amazing Box and Mr. Spoon and told them, "Watch what happens to those who cross us." Lunch Box then opened his lid and devoured Light Green Sporty, ending the bottle's life. Afterwards, the other bottles ran away screaming, and seeing this truly horrified Amazing Box.
That night, Amazing Box was resting on top of the giant platform in Ugly Mug Kitchen, still in horror from what he saw. He wondered to himself, "It was so horrible! Isn't there anything I can do to make things better?" At that moment, someone from the air was observing Amazing Box and heard what he had said, so they flew down. It was Mega. "Who are you?!" Amazing Box asked him. "My name is Mega." Mega told him. "What are you doing here?! Did the Bottle Tribe send you?!" Amazing Box asked defensively. "No, no! I'm not even from around here! I'm from the land neighboring this one, Plush Land! I'm here because I couldn't help but overhear what you were saying." Mega told him. "Is there anything I can do?" Amazing Box asked him. "Maybe, if you can trek through the path parallel to where the Bottle Tribe is." Mega then told him.
"The parallel path?" Amazing Box asked Mega. Mega answered, "Yes. If you can make it beyond the climb that lies beyond the path, you'll be granted with six more lives. There is a catch, however." "What is the catch?" Amazing Box asked. "It's a very dangerous path. Most who have climbed have not come back alive." Mega told him. "I know you said it's dangerous, but if I can manage to climb it, do you think I might be able to help stop more innocent lives from being hurt from these constant battles?" Amazing Box asked. "Who knows? That's up to you. I will give you one small thing to help you though, and I think it will be helpful to you." Mega told him. Mega then shone a light on him. "That should make it so you can recover quickly after losing a life. It can be very helpful in a pinch. But don't use it recklessly like a certain plush rabbit I know does." Mega told him.
"Well, there are two extra powers I left with you. To use one of them, just shout, 'Amazing Box away, Gray Cat Power!' It's a name inspired by a book that someone I know likes, and you'll see why it's called that. There is also one other ability I gave you, but unless you are in a desperate situation, you must never use it. If you do, you will die. Not just in the Plush World, but in the real world too. Never, ever use the second ability unless you absolutely have to." Mega then told him. Amazing Box understood. "Well, I'm going to go now! I wish you the best of luck!" Mega finished before flying away. The next day, Amazing Box sneaked off and traveled the parallel path, and when he reached the end, he saw the Stairway of Heaven guarded by Valentine Devil.
When Valentine Devil saw Amazing Box, he asked, "What brings you here? Are you here to climb this path or did you come here on accident?" "I am here to climb this path!" Amazing Box told him. "You're the first of those from Ugly Mug to attempt this. Regardless, I must check to see if you are worthy of climbing this path." Valentine Devil told him. He then went into Amazing Box's thoughts. "So he wants to stop the conflict between the Utensil Tribe and the Bottle Tribe to prevent more innocent lives from being lost. That seems pure enough." Valentine Devil told himself. He then left Amazing Box's thoughts and told him, "You may pass! I wish you luck." Afterwards, Amazing Box began climbing the Stairway of Spirits, and the climb would last for five plush days.
After Amazing Box reached the top, he took a left and reached the barrier outside of Plush Heaven. The Creator then appeared before Amazing Box and said, "So, someone else has made it past the Stairway of Spirits? It's been years since that last happened." "Who are you?" Amazing Box asked them. "I'm the Creator. I take it that you're Amazing Box from Ugly Mug Kitchen!" The Creator responded. "So, since I climbed my way up here, does that mean that I get more lives?" Amazing Box asked them. "That is correct!" the Creator answered. The Creator then shone a light on Amazing Box, giving him the six new lives he had climbed up the stairway for. Also, afterwards, Amazing Box began to fly up. "It looks like my light somehow gave you the ability to fly. It must have been a side effect from it meeting the light Mega gave you. That's good for you." the Creator told him.
Afterwards, Amazing Box was able to fly down the Stairway of Spirits in a pretty short amount of time and when he got down to Ugly Mug Kitchen, he noticed a battle was about to begin between Mr. Fork and Laundry Detergent. Amazing Box knew that if this battle happened, it would mean disaster. Right as the two were about to attack each other, Amazing Box flew down and stopped them. "Amazing Box?! What are you doing here?!" Mr. Fork asked in anger. "I'm stopping this conflict once and for all!" Amazing Box told them. Afterwards, Amazing Box shouted, "Amazing Box away, Gray Cat Power!" When he did, gray energy formed around his body and formed into the shape of a cat. This caused Mr. Fork and Laundry Detergent to back up. "From this day forward, I shall make Ugly Mug Kitchen a better place by unifying the two tribes under me, Mr. Fork, and Laundry Detergent!" Amazing Box declared. The other two agreed to this after seeing his power.
Afterwards, Mr. Fork gathered the Utensil Tribe and Laundry Detergent gathered the Bottle Tribe. Amazing Box then announced, "From today on, these two tribes will be unified! Me, Mr. Fork, and Laundry Detergent will lead all of us to a future where both utensils and bottles can live together peacefully all under the same sky here in Ugly Mug!" The two tribes cheered at their new leaders, though secretly, Amazing Box was their true leader. Afterwards, the three took their place on the giant counter, where they would rule over Ugly Mug. "Well, I certainly never thought you would be the one to bring us together!" Mr. Fork remarked. "What will you do next as the new leader?" Laundry Detergent then asked him. "There is still one other group besides us in this world. I plan to bring unity between our two groups. I will bring unity between Ugly Mug and Plush Land! That is my new goal!" Amazing Box responded.
While they were talking on the giant counter, someone else was listening from a giant white tower nearby that was filled with clothes. It was a giant light orange plush cat. "Unifying Ugly Mug and Plush Land? I like that idea!" the cat told them before climbing up onto the counter, which was easy to do from the tower he was on. "What's your name?" Mr. Fork asked. "My name is Milford, but many plushies have given me the name Paw Raider. I'm a plush who lives here in Ugly Mug." the cat told them. "Paw Raider sounds like a pretty cool name!" Amazing Box remarked. "I know. Probably cooler than I am, to be completely honest." the cat replied. "It's settled then! You will bring the plushies over to our side!" Amazing Box told him. "I'll do my best!" the cat responded. The cat then climbed down and headed towards Plush Land.
Part 3: Plush Land's Battle Against Ugly Mug
Meanwhile, Vanilla, Chocolate, and Silver were living their regular lives in Plush City, when suddenly, Paw Raider arrived. "It's Paw Raider! He's back!" the plushies said before gathering around him. Wondering what all the commotion was about, Vanilla and Chocolate went to see for themselves. "So, what’s going on here?" Vanilla asked. "That's Paw Raider. He's the plush who likes to live by himself in Ugly Mug Kitchen. He's become somewhat of a celebrity for his ability to live in such a place so casually." Chocolate told him. Afterwards, Paw Raider spoke to the plushies. "The two tribes of Ugly Mug have united as one, and their new leaders have sent me to ask for Plush Land to unify with us in Ugly Mug. The leader of Plush Land will rule this unified nation alongside the leaders of Ugly Mug." Paw Raider told them. Someone then answered, "That's not happening."
The plushies then turned to see who it was, and the one who said it was none other than Mertle, and with him, Emerald and Smasher. "What's so wrong with the plushies and the Ugly Muggians unifying together?" Vanilla asked Mertle. "The whole thing about them ruling together is a complete lie." Mertle told him. "What do you mean?!" Vanilla asked. "There may appear to be multiple leaders in their unified group, but there is actually only one leader, and that is Amazing Box. The other two are just figure heads. If we decided to join with them under these terms, Amazing Box would have complete control not only over all of Plush Land, but the entire lower Plush World as well." Mertle explained to them. The other plushies then looked and stared at Paw Raider with harsh looks and he began to get nervous. "See? He's speechless now! Even he knows I'm right!" Mertle told them.
Nervous, Paw Raider told the plushies, "If you don't unify with us, Amazing Box will be pretty upset. He might even try to use force, knowing him." Then, out of nowhere, someone jumped in. The plushies around gasped. "No way!" Vanilla said. The plush who had jumped in was none other than Wolf. Wolf then told Paw Raider, "If Amazing Box gets upset, he can be upset. We, as plushies, will not let someone from outside just walk in one day and take over the land we have lived in for years. If Amazing Box can't accept that and decides to attack, then we as the plushies of Plush Land will stand together and fight, just like we have against Dinosaur Valley, Bull-Nod Doggy, the CD case's plush order, and anyone else trying to take away what we as plushies have worked together for so long to have! So go, and tell your Amazing Box, that no matter what happens, we, as Plush Land, will never bow down to anyone else!"
After hearing this, Paw Raider got really nervous. After the plushies gave him more dirty looks, he fled for Ugly Mug Kitchen. "Serves him right." someone then said. The plushies turned and saw that Queen Ann was watching. "You were here this entire time?" Chocolate asked. "Of course! Whenever I see something big going on in the Plush City, I always come to check out what's going on! You're my daughter, so you should know that better than anyone!" Queen Ann told her. Vanilla then looked at Wolf and asked, "I thought you always stayed far away from here, so what brought you here?" "I sensed that something horrible is brewing, so I came here just in case everyone needed help. This is a force stronger than most forces I have ever felt in my life." Wolf told him. Queen Ann then went to Wolf and took his hand. "Welcome back!" Queen Ann told him.
Wolf was surprised to hear this. "But, I thought that you kicked me out because you thought I-" Wolf began to say before Queen Ann stopped him. "It's alright. Bulldog was the one who committed that horrible crime. You were innocent this entire time, and we sincerely apologize for what happened all those years ago." she then told him. Wolf asked her, "How's Delicious doing?" "...He passed away a long time ago. The one who ended his last life is also gone, as well as King Lion." Queen Ann told him. "I see." Wolf responded. "So, you came here because you sensed that something bad was going to happen?" Vanilla then asked. "I did." Wolf responded. "Then we should head to Mt. Treadmill to discuss this further." Mertle told him. He agreed. They then began heading towards the foot of Mt. Treadmill.
Meanwhile, Mega and the new Plush Legion Omega were at the Temple of Mega. "So, it seems that the time is nearing that Plush Legion Omega must fight alongside the other plushies." Mega told the plushies who made up Plush Legion Omega. "What is it that we're fighting against?" Tankerang asked. "The unified land of Ugly Mug. Before their leader came to power, I ended up giving them some of my power without thinking that this would be the outcome. Now, the plushies need all the help that they can get against this new enemy, so Plush Legion Omega and myself will be fighting alongside the other plushies." Mega told them. "So, what do we do now?" Feltsy asked. "Everyone, grab on to me." Mega told them. Everyone did as he told them. "Hang on tight! We're heading to Mt. Treadmill to meet the other plushies!" Mega told them. He then flew away carrying the new Plush Legion Omega.
Afterwards, the plushies coming from the Plush City as well as the plushies coming from the Temple of Mega both met at Mt. Treadmill at the same time. "As I predicted, Plush Legion Omega, as well as Mega himself are both here." Mertle stated. They all then gathered around. "It is time for us to work together and stop the unified Ugly Muggians before they can attack!" Mega told the others. Mertle then told them, "Tomorrow, we will go to Ugly Mug to protect Plush Land from being attacked. Everyone I'm about to call will be fighting along side us." The other plushies were listening. "The ones going with us are Emerald, Vanilla, myself, Mega, Chocolate, Wolf, Smasher, Tankerang, Barry, Tina, Tabbie, and Feltsy. That gives us a total of twelve members." Mertle said.
Mertle continued, "That may not be as many as the enemy, but remember, most of them only have one life anyways! There are only seven members in their unified group that have more than one life." "That is correct, but at the same time, we should also be careful. There are many of them, and we know that even some of the ones with only one life still pose a threat. Of course, then there's the leader themselves." Mega added. "What do you mean?" Emerald asked. Mega then told them, "Before he turned against us, I did give him the ability to fly as well as some special abilities. I would have never given them to him if I knew this was going to happen. Also, their leader managed to get six more lives from the Creator as well by climbing the Stairway of Spirits, giving him a total of nine lives." "What?!" Emerald asked in shock.
"This is why we need to fight in Ugly Mug together. While alone, we might not stand as much of a chance against them, if we work together, we might be able to win!" Mega told them. The other plushies understood. They prepared that evening, and then, when the next day came, the team of plushies headed out. "Good luck!" Bunny shouted to Emerald as the twelve plushies were leaving. As the plushies walked their way through Plush Land, the plushies cheered in the Plush City. Queen Ann wished them luck, and then Silver came out as well and said, "Good luck Mom and Dad! Good luck to you too Wolf!" The plushies then headed out, and eventually, they reached the path towards Ugly Mug and walked their way into one of the biggest battles the plushies would have yet.
As the plushies entered Ugly Mug Kitchen, they saw six Sporty bottles blocking the entrance. "They wasted no time preparing for us, it seems." Mega remarked. There was a Dark Red Sporty, a Blue Sporty, a Red Sporty, a Green Sporty, a Purple Sporty, and an Ice Blue Sporty. "I'm Dark Sporty and we will not let you enter!" the Dark Red Sporty told them. "Okay, I'll take care of these guys!" Wolf told the other plushies. Wolf then fired needles of energy at the bottles, taking down the Purple Sporty and the Blue Sporty, but as he was making his attack, Dark Sporty slammed into him, smashing him. Wolf then collapsed and lost his second life. Vanilla saw this and shouted "VANILLA WAVE!" as he attacked the four remaining bottles. The waves hit the other four bottles and defeated them as well. The bottles then all faded away as the plushies continued further into Ugly Mug.
Afterwards, they walked on and got near the Top Predator's food bowl when they were confronted by two giant soda bottles. "I'm Co and this is my friend, La! The two of us are going to bring you plushies down!" one of the bottles told them. "I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS! THE REST OF YOU, BACK UP!" Smasher told the plushies. The other plushies listened and ran back. "What is a little action figure going to do to two huge soda bottles like us?" the other bottle asked as they both laughed. "PREPARE TO GET SMASHED!" Smasher shouted back. He then lunged at Co, and the force of his attack caused Co to fall to the ground and caused Co to fizz so much that he exploded into a giant mess. "Wow. Not cool." La told him. Smasher ignored this and then did the same to La, ending the lives of both bottles. This, however, also caused Smasher to become sticky and unable to move.
Afterwards, due to the mess created by Smasher, Emerald and Mega had to fly the other plushies over the spill and they landed underneath the giant platform. Mega then looked around and told the plushies, "We're not safe yet." Just at that moment, they were confronted by a giant Frigid tea bottle, a regular Hill Lightning soda bottle, a Hill Lightning Red Alert bottle, and a Mr. Too Many Flavors soda bottle. "It looks like this is going to be a tough one." Vanilla then said. "You best believe it's gonna be a tough one! We're takin' y'all plushies down!" the Hill Lightning bottle told them. Just when the plushies were about to be attacked, the Top Predator who was sleeping nearby then woke up and knocked over the four giant bottles as if they were bowling pins, ending the lives of all four bottles. "That's what happens when you hang around in the Top Predator's den like they were!" Mega told the other plushies.
Afterwards, the plushies went on to leave the Top Predator's den, but as they were leaving, Tabbie was stopped by a water bottle. Feltsy shouted, "Tabbie!" as he gave chase to the bottle. When Feltsy confronted the bottle, the bottle said, "I'm going to end this plush's life right here, right now!" The bottle then tried to attack Tabbie, when Feltsy shouted, "I won't let you hurt Tabbie, even if it costs me my last life!" "No! Feltsy! Don't do it!" Tabbie shouted as the bottle went to make its final attack towards Tabbie, but before the bottle could, Feltsy captured the bottle inside his body. "You fool! Let me out right now!" the bottle demanded. Feltsy then looked at Tabbie. "It's been a great run with you. I'm sorry Tabbie, but this is goodbye." he told her.
Feltsy then concentrated all of his life energy into the insides of his body, where he used all of it to attack the water bottle at full force. Afterwards, the water bottle exploded before Feltsy fell to the ground as he lost his final life. "Feltsy!" Tabbie cried as she ran to her lifelong friend. When she got to him, Feltsy then faded away. "No! Feltsy!" she cried as loud as she could. Tabbie had lost the plush who had always been her best friend, and she would cry until she couldn't cry anymore as Feltsy made his way to Plush Heaven. As the other plushies were walking, Mega stopped. "What's wrong?" Vanilla asked him. "It's Feltsy." Mega told him. "What do you mean?! What about Feltsy?!" Emerald asked in panic. "...Feltsy has just made his way to Plush Heaven. He's no longer with us." Mega told him.
After hearing about Feltsy's death, the other plushies pushed forward, as Smasher and Tabbie were still behind. After more walking, they neared the end of the path that led to the open part of Ugly Mug when they met the one who led the bottles, Laundry Detergent. "So, you're the plushies who dare to oppose us here in Ugly Mug?" he then asked. "We won't let Amazing Box control everyone in Plush Land like he does here in Ugly Mug!" Chocolate responded. "Is that the case? If so, let me be the one to bring an end to you plushies!" Laundry Detergent told her. Afterwards, Laundry Detergent opened his lid and poured laundry detergent fluid all over Chocolate, causing Chocolate to lose her last life. Afterwards, she faded away. "Let this be an example of what happens to those who oppose us!" Laundry Detergent boasted. Vanilla then stood there, realizing his wife had just been killed before his own eyes, when something in him snapped.
"You..." he said to Laundry Detergent. Vanilla's anger then rose so much that rainbow energy began flaring from his body. "HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO MY WIFE?!" Vanilla screamed with all his might as rainbow energy flared from his body. Vanilla then charged at Laundry Detergent and gave him as hard of a punch as he could, which knocked Laundry Detergent back so hard that he hit the giant counter at the other side of the open area and exploded everywhere, causing everyone in the open area of Ugly Mug and on the giant counter to lose a life from exposure to the laundry detergent fluid. "There's no way...!" Emerald said in shock. "But it happened. It seems that Vanilla was able to bring out the Light of Life through his sheer willpower alone. I did not help him." Mega told Emerald.
Afterwards, Mega observed and saw that all of those remaining in Ugly Mug were collapsed on the ground, except for Spike Hammer, who somehow managed to avoid it by hiding. There was laundry detergent fluid everywhere. "It looks like there's nothing more we can do while Ugly Mug is in its current state. We're going to have to leave and come back to fight the rest of Ugly Mug another day. At least we know that we've made all of them lose a life today." Mega told the others. Mega then turned to Vanilla and told him, "You did a really good job today Vanilla. I know that this must be tough for you, but let's head home. There's nothing more we can do about any of this. Not you, not Emerald, and not even me." Afterwards, they began to head back and got Tabbie, Wolf, and Smasher before making it back home to Plush Land.
That evening, the ten plushies walked home and told those in the Plush City the news. "Welcome back!" Queen Ann greeted them. Silver and the other plushies were watching as well. Queen Ann then looked around and asked, "Where's Chocolate?" "...I couldn't save her." Vanilla answered with sadness in his voice. "But he certainly did avenge her, I'd say." Barry told himself. Silver then walked to Vanilla. "...What do you mean?" Silver asked her father. "I couldn't save her. Chocolate lost her last life against Laundry Detergent, and I couldn't save her." Vanilla told her. Silver then began crying and Vanilla began to walk away in shame. Seeing this, Queen Ann went up to him and said, "I'm sure Chocolate wouldn't want to see you like this, would she?" "She's no longer with us." Vanilla reminded her. "No, but those in Plush Heaven are always watching over us. If she saw you like this, it would make her sad." Queen Ann then told him.
The next day, the plushies held a funeral for Chocolate. Not just Vanilla, Silver, and Queen Ann, but all of Plush Land mourned at the loss of their princess, and some were mourning for Feltsy as well, especially Tabbie. Watching this, Mega realized something and proceeded to fly away. "Where are you going?!" Emerald asked him. Emerald then followed him to the Temple of Mega. "Why did you just fly away like that?!" Emerald asked him. "I was wrong. I was wrong to think that death in Plush Land didn't have an impact like death in the outside world. I failed to realize that here in Plush Land, our bonds are even more fragile than they are in the outside world. This is all my fault. If I'd have realized this would happen, I would have planned things differently." Mega told Emerald, enraged with himself. "No, none of this is your fault. Some things can't be helped. That's just the kind of beast that battle is." Emerald then told him.
Part 4: Emerald Vs. Amazing Box
After a few days of mourning, as Vanilla was taking care of Silver by himself, the two went into the Plush City where they gathered with Emerald, Mertle, Mega, Wolf, Smasher, Tankerang, Barry, Tina, and Tabbie. "The time has come for us to return to Ugly Mug. If we don't go soon, they might attack first." Mega told the others. "Who's going to take care of Silver?!" Vanilla asked. The other plushies looked around for a second, until Mertle told Vanilla, "I'll take care of Silver for you. The other plushies need you more than they need me. Besides, I'm just a liability out there on the battlefield." "Then I’ll leave Silver to you. Be good, okay Silver?" Vanilla said to them. Mertle then nodded, and so did Silver. Afterwards, the team of nine plushies went to make the trip back to Ugly Mug.
Afterwards, the nine plushies returned to Ugly Mug, as Mega was telling them, "There's nine of us and only seven of them, so as far as numbers go, we have the upper hand over them." Something then jumped down from the giant platform, slamming Barry and Tina, causing them to lose their second lives instantly. It was Paw Raider. "...Never mind what I just said." Mega told the others. Tabbie then walked up and told the other plushies, "I'll take care of him! The rest of you go on!" The other six plushies agreed, so Emerald, Vanilla, Mega, Tankerang, Wolf, and Smasher went on as Tabbie kept Paw Raider back. "You're really brave to try to take me on by yourself, you know that?" Paw Raider told Tabbie.
"I am the only plush who should be the one to bring you down." Tabbie told him. "You fool. Surely you remember that I'm the one who brought you into this world?" Paw Raider then reminded her. "That is why I, your daughter, should be the only plush to face you." Tabbie replied. "So be it! I will defeat you, Tabbie!" Paw Raider told her. Paw Raider then slammed Tabbie very hard, but Tabbie was able to keep on going. At that moment, Tabbie noticed that the Top Predator was approaching at full speed, so she, with all of her might, held down the big orange cat as the Top Predator approached. "But if you do this, you'll go down too!" Paw Raider told her. "I guess it's a good thing I still have another life after this one!" Tabbie then told him. Afterwards, the Top Predator ran both of them over, causing Tabbie to lose her second life and causing Paw Raider to lose his last.
Meanwhile, the six other plushies were walking on when Emerald saw Spike Hammer nearby. "Oh, hi again!" Emerald said before firing a Beauty Beam at the Spike Hammer, causing it to lose its last life. Afterwards, the six plushies reached the open area of Ugly Mug, where they saw Golden Backscratcher, Mr. Spoon, and Lunch Box. "I'll fight the Golden Backscratcher by myself!" Wolf told the others. "No! You're on your last life! I'll fight him too!" Vanilla told him. "And I'll fight Mr. Spoon then!" Tankerang said. "LET ME FIGHT THE LUNCH BOX!" Smasher shouted. "No, leave Lunch Box to me. His power is terrifying. He's certainly not someone that you would want to fight. You should go help Tankerang instead." Mega told him. "OKAY! THAT WORKS TOO!" Smasher replied. "As for you, Emerald, you go on to the giant counter!" Mega said. Emerald agreed and flew up.
Afterwards, Wolf and Vanilla faced the Golden Backscratcher. Wolf fired needles of energy at the backscratcher but they all missed. "You think that's going to work on someone of my figure? Think again, little Wolf." Golden Backscratcher told him. Afterwards, Wolf leaped towards the backscratcher, who slammed him into the ground, causing him to lose his last life. Wolf then faded away. After he was gone, the Golden Backscratcher looked at Vanilla and told him, "You're next, little kitten." Before the backscratcher could attack though, Vanilla slapped Golden Backscratcher, causing him to crash into a wall and get bent, making Golden Backscratcher lose both of his remaining lives at once. "I wasn't even trying." Vanilla told himself.
Meanwhile, Tankerang and Smasher went to face Mr. Spoon. "I'm going to bring you two plushies down." Mr. Spoon told them. Mr. Spoon then tried to slam into Smasher's head, but it did nothing. Tankerang looked at the spoon and asked, "Is that supposed to be your attack?" "Of course it is! I'm using my full power right now!" Mr. Spoon told them. "REALLY?! I CAN BARELY EVEN FEEL IT!" Smasher remarked. Smasher then punched Mr. Spoon, causing the spoon to collapse on the ground and lose a life. "...Seriously? That might have been the weakest foe we've ever faced." Tankerang stated. Meanwhile, they saw a light glowing. They looked and saw Mega's arms had become sharp again as he tore apart the Lunch Box, making the Lunch Box lose both of his lives. Mega then flew away, exhausted. "It looks like he had a bit of a tougher time though." Tankerang told Smasher.
Meanwhile, Emerald flew up and landed on the giant counter where he saw Amazing Box. "You're the Amazing Box I've been hearing about, aren't you?!" Emerald asked. "That's right!" Amazing Box told him. Just then, Mr. Fork slapped Emerald, causing Emerald to collapse to the ground and lose his fifteenth life. Afterwards, Vanilla flew up after he defeated Golden Backscratcher and told Mr. Fork, "I'll deal with you!" "You'll regret that decision." Mr. Fork responded. The two of them then went to the top of the wide white tower nearby. After they left, Emerald got back up and began emitting rainbow energy. "It looks like the one interfering is gone, so now I'll take you on for real!" Emerald told him. Emerald then slammed into Amazing Box, causing Amazing Box to lose his second life.
Meanwhile, Vanilla and Mr. Fork reached the top of the wide white tower where they would fight. Mr. Fork then told him, "I'm Amazing Box's right hand fork! There's no way we will lose to the likes of you plushies!" Vanilla then began emitting rainbow energy and replied, "We'll see about that." He then slapped Mr. Fork, causing him to fall down to Ugly Mug below, as he told Vanilla, "I may have lost, but Amazing Box will surely win!" Mr. Fork then hit the ground and lost his second life. "That fork only made me use twenty percent of my new power. Are me and Emerald really that powerful?" Vanilla asked himself. Vanilla and Mr. Fork's fight had ended, but Emerald and Amazing Box's fight was not over yet.
Afterwards, thinking that he had won after ending Amazing Box's second life, Emerald stopped emitting the rainbow energy and began to cheer, but afterwards, Amazing Box got up and shouted, "Amazing Box away, Gray Cat Power!" before his energy formed around him and took the shape of a gray cat once again. The energy then used its claws and slashed Emerald, causing Emerald to lose his sixteenth life. Afterwards, Emerald got back up and began emitting rainbow energy again. "So you're like me!" Emerald remarked. "You can thank that black cat of yours for that!" Amazing Box told him. Emerald then fired a Beauty Beam at Amazing Box, causing the box's power to go away as Amazing Box lost his third life.
Afterwards, Emerald waited for Amazing Box to get back up, and when he did, he attacked him again, making Amazing Box lose his fourth life. He waited again and attacked when Amazing Box got back up again, making Amazing Box lose his fifth life. The same happened with Amazing Box's sixth, seventh, and eighth lives. Afterwards, he decided to stay down. Emerald then powered down and cheered, "Yay! I've finally won!" Before he could continue cheering, Amazing Box got back up and told him, "It's time for me to use my ultimate ability! After this, you'll be toast!" After saying this, Amazing Box opened his lid and used the attack that Mega warned him to never use. He shouted "AMAZING CANNON!" as he fired a giant white laser at Emerald, making the bunny lose his seventeenth life. Afterwards, Amazing Box's lid was turned to dust from the attack, causing Amazing Box's soul to leave his body, ending his life forever.
Shortly after, Emerald got back up and saw that Amazing Box was no more. Vanilla then flew towards him and saw this too before he landed to meet him. "We've won!" Vanilla cheered. The two then flew down to meet the other plushies. The plushies cheered when Emerald, Vanilla, Smasher, Tankerang, as well as Barry, Tina, and Tabbie returned to Plush Land. Afterwards, the plushies went back to their usual lives, except for Vanilla, whose life would never be the same after losing Chocolate, as Vanilla would take care of Silver by himself. Also, Mr. Fork and Mr. Spoon, being the last survivors of Ugly Mug, would live by themselves, not getting involved with the plushies ever again. The plushies would live their ordinary lives for two more plush years until the next chapter of their lives would unfold.
Part 5: Silver & the Top Predator
It had been two plush years since the defeat of Amazing Box in Ugly Mug Kitchen. Vanilla got up one morning and went to wake Silver up, but he went to where Silver usually sleeps, but she was not there. "Has Silver gone missing again?! I thought that she grew out of that phase a long time ago!" Vanilla told himself. He went outside of his home, and as he feared, Silver was not there either. "She's not here either. I doubt that she's gone to the mountain since Wolf is not with us anymore. There's only one thing I can think of that might help!" Vanilla then told himself. Vanilla then headed to Mt. Treadmill to see if a certain turtle knew anything. When he arrived, Emerald told him, "Hi Vanilla! It's been a while! Where's Silver?" "That's what I'm here about." Vanilla replied.
Vanilla went to Mertle after Emerald greeted him. "Hello Vanilla. I had a feeling you would be headed here." Mertle told him. Vanilla asked him, "Do you have any idea where Silver went? I can't imagine she went to the mountain, and I can't find her anywhere in the Plush City!" Mertle then told him, "You are correct. Your daughter is not at the mountain, or in Plush Land, for that matter. Oh, but don't worry, she hasn't passed on." "Don't tell me... Is she in Ugly Mug Kitchen?!" Vanilla asked in shock. "She is indeed. I may want to warn you though, if you go to find her, you might not like what you see." Mertle told him. "Thank you for telling me where she is!" Vanilla told the old turtle as he began to leave. "Are you going there?" Mertle asked. "I am!" Vanilla answered. "I wish you luck then." Mertle responded. Vanilla then left Mt. Treadmill to find his missing daughter.
Meanwhile in Ugly Mug Kitchen, Silver climbed a wide white tower next to the open area of Ugly Mug, but not the same one where Vanilla fought Mr. Fork. When she got up there, there was a blue rug, and on top of it was the Top Predator, lying down. She approached him, but he did not attack despite being awake. Silver could see that his eyes were more tired than usual. She could tell that something was wrong. She then decided to lay down next to him. She told him, "Everything will be alright." She did not know if he could understand what she was saying, but the Top Predator seemed to accept her being there. While this was happening, somebody was observing from the sky. It was Mega. "So, Silver can sense it too, it seems. I wonder if the other plushies would see it the same way though?" he asked himself.
Not long afterwards, Vanilla arrived in the open area of Ugly Mug Kitchen. He looked up to the top of the wide white tower and was shocked to see Silver laying with the Top Predator. He shouted, "Silver! What are you doing up there?!" Silver heard this and got up. She told the Top Predator, "I'm sorry. I'm going to have to leave now. Don't worry, I'll be back. I promise." She then climbed down the tower and went to Vanilla. "You should know better than that! He could have ended one of your lives!" he told her. "I'm sorry..." she responded. They then went home to Plush Land and went to sleep. The next morning, however, Vanilla woke up and went to wake up Silver, and she was gone again. "She didn't go there again, did she?!" Vanilla asked himself before he headed off.
Later on, that same day, Vanilla arrived in Ugly Mug Kitchen once again, and when he looked up to the white tower, he once again saw Silver laying with the Top Predator. "Don't tell me... Has she fallen in love with the Top Predator?!" he asked himself in shock. Silver looked down and saw him. "You need to come down here right now!" Vanilla demanded her. "I'm sorry. I have to go again. I'll be back hopefully." Silver told the Top Predator before she headed down once again. Vanilla then asked her, with a very upset tone, "Why do you keep going up there with the Top Predator?!" "I can tell that something is wrong. I don't think he's feeling well." Silver told him. "What are you talking about?! He doesn't seem any different to me!" Vanilla shouted as Mega watched from the sky. Mega then decided to descend.
When Mega landed, Vanilla asked, "How long have you been here?! Why didn't you stop this?!" Mega then told him, "I feel that Silver is correct about the Top Predator." "What do you mean?!" Vanilla asked. "Just earlier today, I went up the Stairway of Spirits and saw that the inside of the Top Predator's litter box at the top was red. I know that you two probably don't know what that means, but I know that the litter box being like that is no good. These could very well be the last days that the Top Predator is alive." Mega told them. "That doesn't tell me why Silver has been seeing him!" Vanilla responded. "I've been observing her both times, and I can see that she has been seeing him to make sure that he isn't alone. She can see it in his eyes and his behavior that he's not feeling well." Mega told him.
After Mega explained everything to them, Vanilla and Silver headed back to Plush Land. Mega then flew up the Stairway of Spirits and went beyond the barrier to go to Creation Summit. When Mega got there, he asked the Creator, "Aren't you concerned about the Top Predator? Once he passes on, he won't be able to come back. He'll be gone from this world forever." Beyond what Mega could see, the Creator had tears in their eyes. "I know." they told him. "If you know, then why aren't you doing anything?" Mega asked. "Because there's nothing I can do. Even my powers can't save a cat from old age." they told Mega. Mega already knew that there was nothing the Creator could do to save the Top Predator, as the Top Predator was a cat, not a plush. Still, Mega hoped that something could be done. The Top Predator had been there from Plush Land's beginnings. He knew that life wouldn't be the same without him, and the Creator knew it too, but there was nothing either of them could do to save him.
The next plush day, Vanilla and Silver were out in the Plush City when the Top Predator slowly walked into the city. The Top Predator then fell onto the ground. Mega saw this and flew up the Stairways of Spirits as quickly as he could to tell the Creator. They then came down to Plush Land and sat near the Top Predator. Vanilla, Silver, Emerald, and Mertle then gathered around him. "What's going on?" Emerald asked the others. "It seems that the Top Predator doesn't have much longer in this world." Mertle explained. "Oh no..." Silver told herself. As the Top Predator lives his last moments, the Creator and the plushies stayed by him. The Top Predator didn't expect them to do this, but he knew that he couldn't do anything about it, so he just accepted it. Eventually, the Top Predator closed his eyes and then breathed his last breath. The Top Predator had passed away.
After the plushies had left, the Creator called by their friend Abby. She was a girl with blood red hair and green eyes that he met at school, that like the Creator, had powers that caused her to become an outcast to everyone else. She and the Creator wrapped up the body of the Top Predator in a plastic bag and went somewhere away from the Plush World. In a grassy area, they buried the Top Predator and paid their respects, and alongside them, a black haired girl with green eyes who wore a black dress, black shoes, and looked to be a few years older than them paid her respects as well. "Who are you?" Abby asked. "...Just somebody passing by. It seemed like you two had lost someone special. That's all." the girl responded. The girl then walked away. "I'm going to miss him. Hopefully he's resting peacefully somewhere beyond the sky." the black haired girl told herself. The girl then surrounded herself in a bright green light and turned into a certain black plush cat. The girl was Mega in his human form. He wanted to be there to pay his respects as well to his old friend.
The next plush day, Silver went out to Ugly Mug Kitchen and climbed the wide white tower, hoping that somehow, what she had seen was just a bad dream. When she got to the top, there was no one at the blue rug. "...He's really gone, isn't he?" Silver said in a sad voice. She then laid down, put her head down, and mourned for the Top Predator. Mega then landed next to her. "...What are you doing?" Silver asked. "I believe that when our bodies finally give in and we pass on, our spirits go to a place beyond the sky, beyond even the Creator themselves, and I believe that when we pass on, we will be able to see all of our loved ones again. I believe that someday, the two of you will meet again. That's what I believe." Mega told her. Over the next few plush days, Silver kept returning to the tower with Mega, remembering the times when the Top Predator was alive, and the Creator was doing the same at Creation Summit.
After the Top Predator passed on, he could feel himself leaving his body and his soul went beyond the sky to a world neighboring the world that the Plush World was on. This world was very warm, and there, his soul was greeted by a pale skinned man with black hair and blue eyes. This man wore a white elastic suit with blue accents creating the illusion of a zipper and a belt, and wore blue shoes. "It seems that you've lived a fairly long life for a cat. Also, did you realize that you were the strongest cat alive? That's impressive!" the man told him. The Top Predator could not respond. "...This might seem kind of goofy, but how would you feel about being a dog? Trust me, I have my reasons. You will be an Earthling dog!" the man told him. Afterwards, he made it happen. A few human months later, the Top Predator was reborn as a black lab puppy with brown eyes.
Part 6: Plush Land's Monkey Uprising
After three plush years, Vanilla was taking care of Silver by himself, Emerald and Mertle were training at Mt. Treadmill, and Mega was watching over Plush Land from the Temple of Mega when all four of them were taken away by the Creator at once. Silver, Easter, and the others freaked out as the four plushies were taken by the Creator, and their destination was the same as the previous time this happened, and that was Creation Summit. There were no encounters from the Top Predator, as he had passed on around a plush year before, but this had nothing to do with that. The Creator then dropped the four plushies off at Creation Summit.
When the Creator appeared, Mega asked, "What caused you to come and get us like that?" "Do you remember that friend I made?" the Creator asked Mega. "Friend?" Vanilla asked in confusion. "The Creator has a friend?!" Emerald then said, surprised. "I remember. What about her?" Mega asked. "Ooh! It's a girl!" Emerald said. "Who's the lucky gal?" Mertle asked. "Will you three be quiet?!" Mega then yelled at them. "Sorry..." the three of them replied. "I'm sure they were joking around Mega." the Creator told him. The Creator then told the four of them, "The reason I brought you four here is because I want to introduce you to her." the Creator explained. "Where will we be meeting her?" Mega asked. "We will be meeting in the outside world, in the field right outside of the Plush World." the Creator told them. The Creator then took the four and headed there.
The Creator took Emerald, Vanilla, Mertle, and Mega to the field right outside of the house that the Plush World was located. The Creator then let the four down to the grass below and they saw another giant being like the Creator, but unlike the Creator, they could actually see her face. She had blood red hair and green eyes. "Meet my friend, Abby! I've told her about you four!" the Creator told the plushies. "Nice to meet you." Mertle told Abby, before Emerald told her, "I'm Emerald the bunny!" "And I'm Vanilla." Vanilla told her. Mega then flew up and told her, "I'm Mega! Nice to meet you!" Mega and Abby then shook their hands as Mega was in the air. "You can fly?" Abby asked him. "That's right. Emerald and Vanilla can too!" Mega replied. "You three are so lucky. Me and the Creator can't fly like you can." Abby told him. "I thought you can create fire though!" Mega said. "I can." Abby responded.
Meanwhile, as Emerald, Vanilla, Mertle, and Mega were away, five plush monkeys began to attack Plush Land. Leading the monkeys was a large white plush monkey that was literally named White Monkey. White Monkey walked into the Plush Palace, and into the throne room where Queen Ann was located. "Hello! What brings you here?" Queen Ann asked the White Monkey, but instead of giving a polite response, he instead karate chopped Queen Ann in the head, ending her last life. After Queen Ann faded away, White Monkey came out to the Plush City, where the other four monkeys also were, and declared to Plush Land, "Queen Ann is now no more, and as such, I declare myself the new ruler of Plush Land, and we will capture and imprison every non-monkey here in Plush Land so we monkeys can be free to do whatever we please!"
After White Monkey took over, very quickly, the monkeys pulled out the familiar blue tub that Black Lullaby used to use, and found most of the plushies, capturing them with no hope of escaping. Including those still at Mt. Treadmill, there were only a few small groups of plushies who hadn't been captured. One of these small groups was led by a blue eyed plush cat that was light blue and dark blue, having a pattern similar to a tuxedo cat, and had a crescent moon mark on her chest. Her name was Moony. With her was a small white plastic car named Race Car, a brown plush bear named Teddy, a gray plush tabby cat named Ozzy Oz Oz, and a small brown and black plush dog with a white underbelly, white legs, and a stamp with the appearance of a circuit board on the bottom of one of his feet that was named Digital Dog. The five plushies were eventually found and chased into Ugly Mug by a red plush monkey, when the crescent moon on Moony's body began to glow light blue as she cried through telepathy, "Help! Anyone! White Monkey is attacking us! Please help us!"
To prove that she could make fire, Abby backed away a bit from Emerald and the others and made a little bit of fire with her hands, before quickly putting it out. "That was so cool!" Emerald said in amazement. "It's nowhere near as special as the Creator's ability to bring life to inanimate objects. That's what they told me to call them when I'm around you, even though they told me that you know their actual name. This 'they' thing is pretty hard to do, by the way!" Abby told the plushies. Afterwards, Abby began to feel discomfort in her head. "What's wrong?!" the Creator asked her. "I don't know. It feels like I can hear the screams of someone. I'm hearing them crying for help. Something about a white monkey. It's coming from a blue cat." Abby told them. "That's Moony's special ability!" the Creator then stated in panic. "Who?!" Emerald asked. "I need to take you to Ugly Mug now!" the Creator told him.
Afterwards, after the red monkey defeated all of the plushies besides Moony and Digital Dog, the four plushies arrived, being Emerald, Vanilla, Mega, and Mertle. "What's going on here?!" Emerald asked in anger. Vanilla then noticed the crescent moon on Moony and asked, "Are you Moony?" She nodded, and the red monkey then shouted, "I AM MADNESS! I WILL BE CAPTURING ALL OF YOU! WREEE!" before flailing his arms around like crazy and making Vanilla lose his sixth life. Afterwards, Emerald began to emit rainbow energy before shouting to Madness, "You're going down!" He then fired a Beauty Beam at the Madness and made him lose a life. Afterwards, the red monkey faded away. "Only one life?" Mega asked himself. Afterwards, Emerald, Vanilla, Mega, and Mertle joined up with Moony and the other four plushies. "There's another group at a mountain just outside of Dinosaur Valley!" Moony told them. They then left to head there.
After Vanilla recovered, the nine plushies headed towards Plush Land, and when they reached Dinosaur Valley, they ran into a blue plush monkey. "I'm Sadness..." the monkey told them. "Why are you sad?" Mertle asked him. "The plushies up there got away from me, and the other monkeys get to go after the other groups... And then there's me, all alone... That's why I'm so sad..." Sadness told them. Sadness then looked at them and said, "Oh right, you bunch aren't monkeys... I guess I have to capture you and give you to White Monkey... That makes me sad... Everything makes me sad..." Afterwards, Sadness ran at them. Moony then fired a light blue beam from the crescent moon symbol on her chest, causing Sadness to collapse on the group and lose a life. He did not fade away. "Okay, it might have just been him then." Mega remarked, remembering how Madness faded away. They then climbed the mountain outside of Dinosaur Valley.
When they reached the top of the mountain, they saw a group of plushies cornered by a small black chimp that was familiar to Emerald. "No way, you too?!" Emerald asked him. The black chimp then turned to Emerald and told them, "Hello Emerald and Vanilla. Long time, no see. This time, however, I'm not here to take anyone to the hospital. This time, I'm here to take all of you to the blue tub to lock you away for good so us monkeys can be free!" Afterwards, the black chimp leaped at Emerald at high speeds and caused Emerald to collapse and lose his eighteenth life. Vanilla's rainbow energy then flared up and before he knocked the black chimp off of the mountain, where the chimp would fall to the ground below and lose his last life. Afterwards, the group of plushies he had cornered had been freed.
Afterwards, Mega realized that the plushies who had been cornered were none other than Plush Legion Omega, which was Tabbie, Tina, Barry, and Tankerang, but there was also one extra. It was a plush jack-o-lantern with an innocent smile. "I recognize most of you, but who's the jack-o-lantern?" Mega asked. "I'm Pumpkin! Most people call me a jack-o-lantern, but I know down in my own pumpkin heart that I'm Pumpkin! Oh, and I can do jumping tricks!" the jack-o-lantern responded before jumping really high, almost hitting the ceiling, and then falling back down safely. "...He insisted on joining us." Tankerang told Mega. "I see." Mega responded. "There is also a group unaffected at the foot of Mt. Treadmill." Moony then told the others. "It's good to know that they're safe." Mertle replied. "A monkey is headed there as we speak." Moony then added. "Never mind what I said." Mertle said.
"Also, we need to avoid the Plush City for now since White Monkey is there." Moony added. "That means we have to take the detour route to get to Mt. Treadmill." Mertle told her. Afterwards, they climbed down the mountain and walked through the Valley of Mega before sneaking their way around until they reached the other side of Plush Land. They then walked further and reached the mountain that Wolf used to live at and walked past that as well. Eventually, as they walked, they reached the foot of Mt. Treadmill, where Smasher, Easter, Bunny, and Bunnette were. "There you are! You're safe!" Emerald said in glee. "There's something wrong?" Easter asked nervously. Afterwards, from the sky, a puppet with no arm controlling it flew down, floating like a ghost. It was not just any ghost, however. It was the Monkey Ghost.
When Emerald saw the Monkey Ghost heading towards his wife, children, and Smasher, he began emitting rainbow energy before he flew up and shouted, "I'm not letting you lay a hand on my family!" Emerald then fired a Beauty Beam at the Monkey Ghost, causing it to fall to the ground before fading away. "So the ghost was actually alive." Mertle concluded. "The key word there is 'was.'" Mega added. Afterwards, Emerald flew back down, with Easter, Bunny, Bunnette, and Smasher grouping up with the other plushies. "Now the only plush left to deal with is White Monkey." Moony told them. "Then let's bring him down and take back Plush Land!" Emerald said. The other plushies agreed and all eighteen of them headed to the Plush City to face off against the White Monkey.
Afterwards, the plushies arrived at the Plush City where the White Monkey was dancing around and causing a mess. "We're here to take back Plush Land!" Vanilla told him. "No plush is going to tell me what to do!" White Monkey yelled. He then jumped at Vanilla and kicked him, causing Vanilla to lose his seventh life. "You'll pay for that!" Emerald told him. He then began emitting rainbow energy and flew towards White Monkey at high speeds, but then White Monkey grabbed him and slammed him to the ground, making Emerald lose his nineteenth life. White Monkey then started dancing around again, chanting, "No one is telling me what to do-oh-oh! No one is telling me what to do-ah-ah!" repeatedly before Emerald got back up, now on his final life.
When Emerald got back up, Emerald's rainbow energy began flaring up far more than it ever had before. "If he uses that much energy, it's going to be too much for him to handle! He's going to end up losing his last life!" Mega told the others. "Wait, what?!" Vanilla asked in shock. Emerald then told them, "To defend Plush Land, I have no other choice. I have to use every last bit of energy I have." Afterwards, Emerald flew at White Monkey at his top speed, and through his nose, with all of his power and his life energy, he fired a full powered Beauty Beam at White Monkey. White Monkey tried to resist, but he couldn't, and the Beauty Beam blew a hole straight through his body, clear to the other side, ending the White Monkey's life forever. Afterwards, Emerald collapsed on the ground.
When Emerald collapsed on the ground, the other plushies ran to him. "Emerald!" Easter cried as she ran to his body. As the rest of the plushies gathered around him, he then told them, with the last of his energy, "...I won, didn't I?" After saying those final words, Emerald then lost his last life. "Emerald..." Easter said as she cried at the sight of her husband's death. Mega closed his eyes as the other plushies stood in silence, paying respects to the hero who had died so that all of the other plushies in Plush Land could live. Afterwards, Emerald's body faded away, leaving only the memories of him behind in Plush Land, as Easter grieved for his death. Emerald may have been gone, but thanks to him, Plush Land was not over and would continue for time to come.
After Emerald's body faded away, Mega's spirit met with Emerald to personally take him up to Plush Heaven. As Mega flew Emerald up the Stairway of Spirits, Mega told him, "You were a valiant bunny who fought for all of Plush Land. No, not just for Plush Land, but the entire Plush World. And for the Plush World, you fought with every life you had to protect those dear to you, as well as everyone else. Emerald, you are a hero, and no one down in Plush Land will ever forget that." After telling him this, Mega flew Emerald beyond the barrier and led him into Plush Heaven, dropping him off. "Your duty in Plush Land is now over. Emerald. It is time for you to rest." Mega then told him. Afterwards, Mega's spirit left Emerald to return back to the body where it belongs.
After being freed and after mourning Emerald's death, the plushies approached Vanilla. "Since Queen Ann is no longer with us, that makes you the new king of Plush Land." Moony told him. The plushies unanimously agreed. Mertle then came up to him and told him, "Vanilla, or no, I mean, King Vanilla, you are now the new ruler of Plush Land. I will always be there to support you. Good luck to you now, as Plush Land's new king!" Afterwards, King Vanilla and Silver made their way to the Plush Palace, where the new king would take his throne and rule over Plush Land, and where Silver would finally be a princess.
A few plush months after, King Vanilla was ruling over Plush Land, and together with Mega, he had made a memorial of Emerald out of paper mache, placing it towards the center of the Plush City near the palace. As King Vanilla and Mega were placing the memorial down, the king asked, "I wonder how Emerald is doing up in Plush Heaven?" "Who knows? Only those who are up there right now would know." Mega told him. "True." King Vanilla responded. Meanwhile, up on Creation Summit, which was actually the widest mountain in Plush Heaven, the Creator was watching over Plush Land, and with them, Emerald was watching as well. "I'm just fine Vanilla. I'm just fine." Emerald then said as they continued to watch. The story of Plush Land was not over yet though, as their most difficult challenge had yet to come, as a certain rainbow bear watched everything from the Plush Underworld.
Part 7: Attack of Rainbow, God of Death
Two plush years had passed since Emerald passed on to Plush Heaven, when in the Plush Underworld, Rainbow's energy began rapidly rising. "I can feel it. The time for me to attack Plush Land has come." he then stated. Afterwards, Rainbow began approaching the door that served as the barrier of the Plush Underworld. Rainbow then punched through the door, shattering it. As the shards of the door fell to the ground, the Creator got angry and tried to charge at Rainbow, but Rainbow flew towards the Creator and punched them in the gut, causing them to collapse to the ground in pain. "Know your place, you insignificant being." Rainbow then told the Creator. Afterwards, Rainbow flew down the Stairway of Spirits, with the Creator still in pain.
Afterwards, Rainbow flew down to Ugly Mug Kitchen. When he got there, he saw Mr. Fork and Mr. Spoon on the ground. "Hey look, there are my first victims!" Rainbow then told himself before flying down. "Who are you?!" Mr. Fork asked in terror. "I am Rainbow, the God of Death. That will be the last thing you two ever know." Rainbow told them. He then fired a red laser at the two, turning them to dust. After this, Rainbow flew back up and told himself, "Ugly Mug isn't any fun. I suppose I should head to Plush Land now." Rainbow then saw Valentine Devil. "First, I'll tie up some loose ends." Rainbow said. He then fired a red laser at Valentine Devil, turning him to dust as well. "There we go. Now it's time for me to head to Plush Land." Rainbow told himself before flying off towards Plush Land.
Rainbow flew to Plush Land, where he saw the plushies living and thriving in the Plush City. "Oh look! Plenty of plushies for me to turn to dust! This should be fun!" Rainbow stated before flying down to the Plush City. Rainbow then started firing red lasers at random plushies, causing them to turn to dust as other random plushies began to scream and hide. Afterwards, Plush Legion Omega arrived to stop him. "Stop attacking the Plush City right now!" Tankerang demanded. "And if I refuse?" Rainbow asked. Tankerang then began charging at Rainbow, when Rainbow fired a laser at him, Tabbie, Barry, and Tina, turning all of Plush Legion Omega to dust, giving them no chance to go to Plush Heaven. The plushies who were killed this way not only died in the Plush World, but in the world that was Earth as well.
As the other plushies were hiding after Plush Legion Omega had been destroyed, King Vanilla walked out to confront Rainbow. "Who do you think you are destroying the plushies as you have been?" King Vanilla asked Rainbow in a serious tone. "I am Rainbow, the God of Death." he told him. "Well, no matter who you think you are, anyone who tries to mess with Plush Land has to get through me first!" King Vanilla told him. Vanilla's rainbow energy then flared up and he flew towards Rainbow, who was about to fire a laser at the king, but before he could, Mega flew in and got Vanilla out of the way. "Your body would have been destroyed if that hit you!" Mega told the king as he flew him to safety. He then dropped King Vanilla off at the Temple of Mega and flew back down to Plush Land, where he would confront Rainbow.
"Why have you come to Plush Land?!" Mega asked Rainbow in anger. "I have come here for the sole purpose of defeating you and the Creator, and now that Emerald is gone, I have the perfect opportunity to do so. I just thought I'd turn some plushies to dust to lure you two out of hiding." Rainbow responded. "There's no way I'm letting you hurt either of us, or any of the plushies, or any of the beings here on Earth!" Mega told him. Mega then tried to fly at Rainbow at full force, but the bear punched him so hard that Mega flew through a wall and fell somewhere in the outside world, far from the house that the Plush World was in. Mega then fell unconscious.
After falling unconscious, Mega sent his spirit to the Plush World to get in contact with someone who could help him. At Creation Summit, the Creator and Emerald were watching what was unfolding down in Plush Land when the spirit of Mega appeared before the two of them. Mega's spirit looked at the Creator and told them, "You must let Emerald fight Rainbow. If you don't, all of Plush Land will be at stake. No, not just Plush Land, but our very lives! If Emerald doesn't stop Rainbow before it's too late, Rainbow will kill the both of us as well as everyone who is close to us, and probably everyone on this planet as well!" After saying this, Mega's spirit disappeared. "It looks like there is no other choice." the Creator said.
The Creator then turned to Emerald and shone a light on him. Afterwards, they told him, "From this day forward, you are no longer bound by the live system of the Plush World. This means that you will now be able to fight to your fullest potential here in the Plush World just like you would in the outside world. However, please be careful. If your body is destroyed, you will die for real, and you will not return to Plush Heaven. You will be gone for good if you get destroyed." Emerald understood the responsibilities that had been placed on him, as he flew beyond the barrier of Plush Heaven and down the Stairway of Spirits. Eventually, he flew through Ugly Mug as well and noticed the dust on the ground and then eventually, he reached Plush Land, where he noticed the damaged that Rainbow had caused. "I need to defeat Rainbow as soon as possible!" Emerald told himself.
Meanwhile, Rainbow found King Vanilla at the Temple of Mega and had flew up to meet him. "Now that Mega has been dealt with, now I can finally deal with you, Vanilla." Rainbow told him. Then, just before Rainbow could deliver a punch to the king, Emerald got in the way and blocked the punch. "Is that... Emerald!" King Vanilla shouted, as he felt both happy and fearful. Emerald's energy was flaring just as it was when Emerald was fighting White Monkey, but this time, since he was not bound by the live system, Emerald was free to use this power as much as he wanted without it destroying his body. Rainbow saw the rainbow energy flaring up from Emerald and told him, "The power of your Light of Life disgusts me. As the God of Death, I must extinguish this light. Prepare to die, Emerald."
Afterwards, Rainbow fired one of his red lasers at Emerald, but Emerald fired a Beauty Beam at it, cancelling it out. "Let's try that again." Rainbow said. Rainbow then tried it again, but once again, Emerald cancelled it out with a Beauty Beam. "There's no way you're able to keep this up!" Rainbow told the rabbit. Afterwards, Rainbow kept firing red lasers at Emerald, but Emerald cancelled out each and every laser that was sent his way with a Beauty Beam. Eventually, Rainbow got annoyed and said, "OK. I've had enough of this." Rainbow then slammed through the wall with Emerald, pushing both of them into the sky in the outside world, but Emerald then pushed back, preventing Rainbow from pushing him any farther away. They were now in the sky above the city that contained the house where the Plush World was located, and this was where the rest of their battle would unfold.
As Emerald and Rainbow were fighting in the sky of the outside world, a plane began to fly near where they were located. "Oh, look! That's a lot of lives I can end!" Rainbow stated. Rainbow fired a laser at the plane, but then, before the laser could hit the plane, someone slapped it away. Emerald and Rainbow then turned to see who it is. It was a girl with bright blonde hair and bright blue eyes who wore a frilly yellow blouse and skirt with white accents along with white sneakers, and alongside her was Mega. "You monster! You were about to kill all of the people on that plane!" Mega shouted at Rainbow. "Who's the girl?" Emerald asked. "I'm Nikki! Mega called upon me once he learned that I have the ability to fly and create light. Of course, I fight evil like this guy all the time, but this bear here seems to be tougher than anything I've ever faced!" the girl told them.
"You mean, he's even stronger than you?!" Emerald asked. Nikki then nodded. "But then again, you're stronger than I am as well." Nikki added. "It doesn't matter if there's three of you. Up until now, I haven't even been using much of my power." Rainbow told them. Afterwards, Rainbow began charging a huge red attack with his hands. "It's time for us to combine our Lights of Life. Are you ready you two?" Mega then asked the other two. Emerald and Nikki nodded. "Okay, then, let's do this." Mega said. Then, Emerald and Mega's rainbow energy flared up and they combined their energy into a giant rainbow cannon of light. "DEATH CANNON!" Rainbow then shouted as he fired his red cannon at them, but Mega and Emerald fired their cannon at the same time.
After Emerald and Mega fired their Cannon of Light and Rainbow fired his Death Cannon, the blasts hit each other and they pushed against each other, but neither of them were getting closer to getting through the other. Nikki then flew to where Emerald and Mega were and then added her light into the blast. With that little bit of extra power, their Light of Life, combined with Nikki's light, began to slowly push through Rainbow's cannon of darkness, until eventually, the light broke through and consumed the cannon of death as the light hit Rainbow at full force. Afterwards, Rainbow fell, crashing down onto the ground below, where he would fall into a coma from the power of life that had just hit him. Seeing this, Emerald shouted with glee, "We win!" Mega and Nikki then smiled and cheered with Emerald, as they had not only prevented the destruction of Plush Land, but of Earth as well.
Afterwards, Nikki told Emerald and Mega, "I have to leave now you two! I have more people to save!" "I'm sure you do. Thank you so much for helping us!" Mega told her. "No problem! That's what I'm here for!" Nikki told Mega. Afterwards, Nikki told them, "Well, for now, bye!" before she flew away. "I didn't think about someone with special powers like the Creator becoming a vigilante." Mega told Emerald. "I know, right?! That was so cool!" Emerald replied. Afterwards, Mega told Emerald, "I think it's time that we returned to Plush Land." Emerald agreed. They then flew down to the house where the Plush World was located and flew in through one of the holes that Rainbow had left in the wall. When they returned, the plushies, and the Creator, who was there as well, cheered for Emerald and Mega. "Great job on defeating Rainbow!" King Vanilla told them.
After they cheered, the Creator told the plushies, "Now that Rainbow is gone, we will need to repair the physical damages that have been done to Plush Land. There are some things that we, however, cannot repair, and that is the many lives that have been lost here in Plush Land. There is something we can repair though, and that's the walls!" the Creator told them. Afterwards, the plushies and the Creator would get to work on repairing the two holes in the wall that Rainbow had made, and eventually, Abby joined to repair the wall as well. After not too long, the wall had been patched up, and the surviving plushies were able to resume life as usual, including Emerald, who got to stay in Plush Land since he was no longer bound by the live system. Not that long after though, something else would happen.
A few plush days after the wall was repaired, Mega gathered the plushies and the Creator around in the Plush City to tell them something important. "I have gathered you here to tell you something important. I regret to inform you that I will be leaving the Plush World and will be going to the outside world." Mega told them. "What?!" Emerald asked in shock. "How come?" The Creator asked him. Afterwards, Mega then rose up in the air and began glowing in a bright green light, and afterwards, Mega revealed his true form, which was a black cat much larger than the Top Predator, with green eyes and fur of medium thickness. "...You're not a plush?" the Creator then asked in surprise. "That is correct. I am a cat, not a plush." Mega told them. Mega then whispered to Emerald and Vanilla and told them, "Please come to the Temple of Mega with me real fast." They listened and headed there with him.
Emerald, Vanilla, and Mega, who was now in his true cat form went up to the Temple of Mega. "I have something that I need to tell only the two of you." Mega whispered. They then listened. "The truth is, I am the God of Life, not only in Plush Land, but in the outside world too. As I mentioned before, me and the Creator, and also Abby, Nikki, and Rainbow, are all from a place beyond the sky. That place is a sister world to Earth called Mersunai by those of us from there, and is called Venus by those from Earth." Mega told them. Mega then told them something else as well, which was, "Also, Mertle has prophecized that Rainbow will return one day and destroy not only Plush Land, but all of Earth, and only the Four Omegas, who are the Creator, Abby, Nikki, and someone else can stop him, and no one else on Earth will survive. As such, you two must leave to a place beyond the sky if you wish to survive."
After talking at the Temple of Mega, Emerald, Vanilla, and Mega went back down to the Plush City, where Vanilla then told the plushies, "Me and Emerald will be leaving Plush Land as well. As such, I now declare Moony to be the new ruler of Plush Land, which will no longer be called King or Queen, but shall now be called Kitano, the Leader of the Plush Intelligence, in memory of the old royal family. Now, it is time for us to leave. Goodbye, everyone." Afterwards, Emerald, Vanilla, and Mega began to leave, as Emerald turned back and told the other plushies, "Goodbye everyone! We'll always remember the times we've had together!" Mega then opened the door leading to the outside world, and together, the three walked out, leaving the Plush World forever, flying towards their futures.
The story of Plush Land doesn’t end with Emerald, Vanilla, and Mega being gone, nor does the story of those three end now that they have left Plush Land.
Be sure to look out for new stories relating to Plush Land, Moony, Emerald, Vanilla, Mega, and the Creator!
It had been three plush months since Mega destroyed the starry cloak. In the Plush Underworld, King Tornado, King Bones, King Horns the Great, and Queen Sesaria had all found each other again. When they did, a certain rainbow bear descended to meet them. "It's you again!" Sesaria exclaimed. "Who again?" King Tornado asked. "My name is Rainbow. It's nice to see the four original rulers of Dinosaur Valley meet each other once again." he told them. "What do you want with us?" Sesaria asked him. "Well, I thought to celebrate this special occasion, I would send you four to Ugly Mug Kitchen to help defeat that bunny Emerald." Rainbow told them. Afterwards, Rainbow sent the four down to Ugly Mug. "This should be fun." Rainbow then told himself.
Meanwhile, on the same day, Emerald was training on Mt. Treadmill with Easter, Mertle, Smasher, Bunny, and Bunnette, when a giant light orange tabby cat appeared at the mountain's foot. "Spike Hammer is attacking in Ugly Mug again! I barely managed to get away without losing one of my lives!" the cat told them. "Don't worry! I'll take care of it! This isn't the first time I've dealt with him!" Emerald told him. Emerald then flew away towards Ugly Mug. "That dumb bunny fell right into our trap." the cat muttered as he laughed to himself and walked away.
Emerald then flew into Ugly Mug Kitchen, and when he got there, he noticed something was off. "Where's the Spike Hammer?" Emerald asked. He looked at the open area and saw what appeared to be a tiny bone dinosaur. "Who's this?" Emerald asked himself before he flew down. Emerald then looked at the tiny dinosaur and he stated, "It looks like King Bones, but smaller! I beat him once before, so this time shouldn't be a problem either!" He then charged at the dinosaur, but the dinosaur slapped Emerald with his tail, causing him to collapse to the ground, losing his twelfth life. "What a fool! This is the Emerald everyone was talking about?!" the dinosaur said.
Not that long afterwards, Emerald got back up. The tiny dinosaur then told him, "I'm King Tornado! You're a fool for thinking something like that would work!" After he said that, King Bones also walked into the open area. "I'm here too!" he told them. Afterwards, Emerald began emitting rainbow energy. "The two of us will bring you-!" King Tornado was beginning to say before Emerald gave the tiny dinosaur a hard slap, causing him to hit the giant counter nearby, defeating the tiny dinosaur. Emerald then fired a Beauty Beam at King Bones, causing the giant bone dinosaur to go down as well. "Well, that wasn't too hard!" Emerald remarked as he powered down. Just after he did so, two other dinosaurs attacked him at full force, causing Emerald to lose his thirteenth life.
When Emerald got back up shortly after, he saw the ones who attacked him, which were Sesaria and a red triceratops. "So you're here too Sesaria?!" Emerald asked in surprise. "Not just me! My father's here too! Meet King Horns the Great! The two of us will bring you down!" Sesaria told him. "Well, for sneak-attacking me, you two are going down!" Emerald shouted before he began emitting rainbow energy again. He then slammed into Sesaria, causing her to be defeated in one blow. "I'm not as weak as my daughter is! I'll bring you-!" King Horns began to say before Emerald fired a Beauty Beam at him as well. Afterwards, King Horns was defeated as well. "Now I've taken care of everything!" Emerald said. He then began to walk home when the Top Predator slapped him, causing him to lose his fourteenth life. Shortly after, he got back up and told himself, "Luck is really not on my side today!" He then went home to live his regular life.
After King Tornado, King Bones, King Horns the Great, and Queen Sesaria died once again, the Creator appeared before all of them except for King Bones. "Fancy seeing you again Creator! It's been a long time! How are things going?" King Tornado asked them. "Enough with the garbage. I saw what the three of you did. Each one of you was responsible for Emerald losing one of his lives when you shouldn't have even been able to go down to Ugly Mug Kitchen in the first place." the Creator told them in a stern voice. "But Creator! Don't you like me? I'm a super cool dinosaur! Dinosaurs are awesome! Surely you agree, right?" King Tornado asked them in panic. "There's nothing cool about what the three of you did. It's time for you three to meet your end for good. DECREATE!" the Creator told them with rage before they destroyed the bodies of the three dinosaurs, but without the cloak, their souls could not be absorbed.
Part 2: New Life in Ugly Mug Kitchen
Some time after the four dinosaur rulers were defeated, the Creator went down to Ugly Mug Kitchen and looked around. "Compared to Plush Land, this place feels kind of lifeless. The only ones I see here are the Valentine Devil, the Spike Hammer, and of course, the Top Predator, but he goes everywhere anyways." they stated. Afterwards, they shone a light over many of the objects in Ugly Mug, causing them to come to life. "Now, will the new Ugly Muggians be able to find peace with Plush Land, or will the landscape here become barren again? Or, what if, in the unlikely off chance, Plush Land becomes barren? I certainly hope that doesn't happen. Regardless of what happens though, this should definitely spice things up around here." the Creator then said. Afterwards, the Creator disappeared from Ugly Mug.
When life was brought to Ugly Mug, there were two tribes. There was the Utensil Tribe, who had just as many lives as the plushies, but were fewer in number, and there was the Bottle Tribe, who had only one life, but were greater in number. The leader of the Utensil Tribe was named Mr. Fork, a leader that was not to be trifled with, as many bottles tried to face him, but few would come back to tell the tale. The Bottle Tribe, however, also had a leader, being Laundry Detergent. To make up for only having one life, Laundry Detergent strived to become the strongest of the bottles, and succeeded. Despite this, he had not attacked any of the Utensil Tribe. Instead, he mainly preferred to attack traveling plushies instead, but usually fled if he was unable to handle going up against them. Eventually though, two plush years after the two tribes came to be, there was one member of the Utensil Tribe who wanted to change Ugly Mug forever.
One day, there was a battle between a group of Sporty sport drink bottles and a few members of the Utensil Tribe. The group from the Utensil Tribe was led by Lunch Box, a living camouflage lunch box, and following him were Mr. Spoon, a living stainless steel spoon, and Amazing Box, a living sandwich box with a translucent lid that has the words "Amazing" written on it. The one leading the Sporty bottles, Light Green Sporty said, "We will no longer stand for you harming random innocent water bottles!" To this, Lunch Box replied, "You're really messing with the wrong guy." "What do you mean by that?!" the leader of the bottles asked. Lunch Box then turned to Amazing Box and Mr. Spoon and told them, "Watch what happens to those who cross us." Lunch Box then opened his lid and devoured Light Green Sporty, ending the bottle's life. Afterwards, the other bottles ran away screaming, and seeing this truly horrified Amazing Box.
That night, Amazing Box was resting on top of the giant platform in Ugly Mug Kitchen, still in horror from what he saw. He wondered to himself, "It was so horrible! Isn't there anything I can do to make things better?" At that moment, someone from the air was observing Amazing Box and heard what he had said, so they flew down. It was Mega. "Who are you?!" Amazing Box asked him. "My name is Mega." Mega told him. "What are you doing here?! Did the Bottle Tribe send you?!" Amazing Box asked defensively. "No, no! I'm not even from around here! I'm from the land neighboring this one, Plush Land! I'm here because I couldn't help but overhear what you were saying." Mega told him. "Is there anything I can do?" Amazing Box asked him. "Maybe, if you can trek through the path parallel to where the Bottle Tribe is." Mega then told him.
"The parallel path?" Amazing Box asked Mega. Mega answered, "Yes. If you can make it beyond the climb that lies beyond the path, you'll be granted with six more lives. There is a catch, however." "What is the catch?" Amazing Box asked. "It's a very dangerous path. Most who have climbed have not come back alive." Mega told him. "I know you said it's dangerous, but if I can manage to climb it, do you think I might be able to help stop more innocent lives from being hurt from these constant battles?" Amazing Box asked. "Who knows? That's up to you. I will give you one small thing to help you though, and I think it will be helpful to you." Mega told him. Mega then shone a light on him. "That should make it so you can recover quickly after losing a life. It can be very helpful in a pinch. But don't use it recklessly like a certain plush rabbit I know does." Mega told him.
"Well, there are two extra powers I left with you. To use one of them, just shout, 'Amazing Box away, Gray Cat Power!' It's a name inspired by a book that someone I know likes, and you'll see why it's called that. There is also one other ability I gave you, but unless you are in a desperate situation, you must never use it. If you do, you will die. Not just in the Plush World, but in the real world too. Never, ever use the second ability unless you absolutely have to." Mega then told him. Amazing Box understood. "Well, I'm going to go now! I wish you the best of luck!" Mega finished before flying away. The next day, Amazing Box sneaked off and traveled the parallel path, and when he reached the end, he saw the Stairway of Heaven guarded by Valentine Devil.
When Valentine Devil saw Amazing Box, he asked, "What brings you here? Are you here to climb this path or did you come here on accident?" "I am here to climb this path!" Amazing Box told him. "You're the first of those from Ugly Mug to attempt this. Regardless, I must check to see if you are worthy of climbing this path." Valentine Devil told him. He then went into Amazing Box's thoughts. "So he wants to stop the conflict between the Utensil Tribe and the Bottle Tribe to prevent more innocent lives from being lost. That seems pure enough." Valentine Devil told himself. He then left Amazing Box's thoughts and told him, "You may pass! I wish you luck." Afterwards, Amazing Box began climbing the Stairway of Spirits, and the climb would last for five plush days.
After Amazing Box reached the top, he took a left and reached the barrier outside of Plush Heaven. The Creator then appeared before Amazing Box and said, "So, someone else has made it past the Stairway of Spirits? It's been years since that last happened." "Who are you?" Amazing Box asked them. "I'm the Creator. I take it that you're Amazing Box from Ugly Mug Kitchen!" The Creator responded. "So, since I climbed my way up here, does that mean that I get more lives?" Amazing Box asked them. "That is correct!" the Creator answered. The Creator then shone a light on Amazing Box, giving him the six new lives he had climbed up the stairway for. Also, afterwards, Amazing Box began to fly up. "It looks like my light somehow gave you the ability to fly. It must have been a side effect from it meeting the light Mega gave you. That's good for you." the Creator told him.
Afterwards, Amazing Box was able to fly down the Stairway of Spirits in a pretty short amount of time and when he got down to Ugly Mug Kitchen, he noticed a battle was about to begin between Mr. Fork and Laundry Detergent. Amazing Box knew that if this battle happened, it would mean disaster. Right as the two were about to attack each other, Amazing Box flew down and stopped them. "Amazing Box?! What are you doing here?!" Mr. Fork asked in anger. "I'm stopping this conflict once and for all!" Amazing Box told them. Afterwards, Amazing Box shouted, "Amazing Box away, Gray Cat Power!" When he did, gray energy formed around his body and formed into the shape of a cat. This caused Mr. Fork and Laundry Detergent to back up. "From this day forward, I shall make Ugly Mug Kitchen a better place by unifying the two tribes under me, Mr. Fork, and Laundry Detergent!" Amazing Box declared. The other two agreed to this after seeing his power.
Afterwards, Mr. Fork gathered the Utensil Tribe and Laundry Detergent gathered the Bottle Tribe. Amazing Box then announced, "From today on, these two tribes will be unified! Me, Mr. Fork, and Laundry Detergent will lead all of us to a future where both utensils and bottles can live together peacefully all under the same sky here in Ugly Mug!" The two tribes cheered at their new leaders, though secretly, Amazing Box was their true leader. Afterwards, the three took their place on the giant counter, where they would rule over Ugly Mug. "Well, I certainly never thought you would be the one to bring us together!" Mr. Fork remarked. "What will you do next as the new leader?" Laundry Detergent then asked him. "There is still one other group besides us in this world. I plan to bring unity between our two groups. I will bring unity between Ugly Mug and Plush Land! That is my new goal!" Amazing Box responded.
While they were talking on the giant counter, someone else was listening from a giant white tower nearby that was filled with clothes. It was a giant light orange plush cat. "Unifying Ugly Mug and Plush Land? I like that idea!" the cat told them before climbing up onto the counter, which was easy to do from the tower he was on. "What's your name?" Mr. Fork asked. "My name is Milford, but many plushies have given me the name Paw Raider. I'm a plush who lives here in Ugly Mug." the cat told them. "Paw Raider sounds like a pretty cool name!" Amazing Box remarked. "I know. Probably cooler than I am, to be completely honest." the cat replied. "It's settled then! You will bring the plushies over to our side!" Amazing Box told him. "I'll do my best!" the cat responded. The cat then climbed down and headed towards Plush Land.
Part 3: Plush Land's Battle Against Ugly Mug
Meanwhile, Vanilla, Chocolate, and Silver were living their regular lives in Plush City, when suddenly, Paw Raider arrived. "It's Paw Raider! He's back!" the plushies said before gathering around him. Wondering what all the commotion was about, Vanilla and Chocolate went to see for themselves. "So, what’s going on here?" Vanilla asked. "That's Paw Raider. He's the plush who likes to live by himself in Ugly Mug Kitchen. He's become somewhat of a celebrity for his ability to live in such a place so casually." Chocolate told him. Afterwards, Paw Raider spoke to the plushies. "The two tribes of Ugly Mug have united as one, and their new leaders have sent me to ask for Plush Land to unify with us in Ugly Mug. The leader of Plush Land will rule this unified nation alongside the leaders of Ugly Mug." Paw Raider told them. Someone then answered, "That's not happening."
The plushies then turned to see who it was, and the one who said it was none other than Mertle, and with him, Emerald and Smasher. "What's so wrong with the plushies and the Ugly Muggians unifying together?" Vanilla asked Mertle. "The whole thing about them ruling together is a complete lie." Mertle told him. "What do you mean?!" Vanilla asked. "There may appear to be multiple leaders in their unified group, but there is actually only one leader, and that is Amazing Box. The other two are just figure heads. If we decided to join with them under these terms, Amazing Box would have complete control not only over all of Plush Land, but the entire lower Plush World as well." Mertle explained to them. The other plushies then looked and stared at Paw Raider with harsh looks and he began to get nervous. "See? He's speechless now! Even he knows I'm right!" Mertle told them.
Nervous, Paw Raider told the plushies, "If you don't unify with us, Amazing Box will be pretty upset. He might even try to use force, knowing him." Then, out of nowhere, someone jumped in. The plushies around gasped. "No way!" Vanilla said. The plush who had jumped in was none other than Wolf. Wolf then told Paw Raider, "If Amazing Box gets upset, he can be upset. We, as plushies, will not let someone from outside just walk in one day and take over the land we have lived in for years. If Amazing Box can't accept that and decides to attack, then we as the plushies of Plush Land will stand together and fight, just like we have against Dinosaur Valley, Bull-Nod Doggy, the CD case's plush order, and anyone else trying to take away what we as plushies have worked together for so long to have! So go, and tell your Amazing Box, that no matter what happens, we, as Plush Land, will never bow down to anyone else!"
After hearing this, Paw Raider got really nervous. After the plushies gave him more dirty looks, he fled for Ugly Mug Kitchen. "Serves him right." someone then said. The plushies turned and saw that Queen Ann was watching. "You were here this entire time?" Chocolate asked. "Of course! Whenever I see something big going on in the Plush City, I always come to check out what's going on! You're my daughter, so you should know that better than anyone!" Queen Ann told her. Vanilla then looked at Wolf and asked, "I thought you always stayed far away from here, so what brought you here?" "I sensed that something horrible is brewing, so I came here just in case everyone needed help. This is a force stronger than most forces I have ever felt in my life." Wolf told him. Queen Ann then went to Wolf and took his hand. "Welcome back!" Queen Ann told him.
Wolf was surprised to hear this. "But, I thought that you kicked me out because you thought I-" Wolf began to say before Queen Ann stopped him. "It's alright. Bulldog was the one who committed that horrible crime. You were innocent this entire time, and we sincerely apologize for what happened all those years ago." she then told him. Wolf asked her, "How's Delicious doing?" "...He passed away a long time ago. The one who ended his last life is also gone, as well as King Lion." Queen Ann told him. "I see." Wolf responded. "So, you came here because you sensed that something bad was going to happen?" Vanilla then asked. "I did." Wolf responded. "Then we should head to Mt. Treadmill to discuss this further." Mertle told him. He agreed. They then began heading towards the foot of Mt. Treadmill.
Meanwhile, Mega and the new Plush Legion Omega were at the Temple of Mega. "So, it seems that the time is nearing that Plush Legion Omega must fight alongside the other plushies." Mega told the plushies who made up Plush Legion Omega. "What is it that we're fighting against?" Tankerang asked. "The unified land of Ugly Mug. Before their leader came to power, I ended up giving them some of my power without thinking that this would be the outcome. Now, the plushies need all the help that they can get against this new enemy, so Plush Legion Omega and myself will be fighting alongside the other plushies." Mega told them. "So, what do we do now?" Feltsy asked. "Everyone, grab on to me." Mega told them. Everyone did as he told them. "Hang on tight! We're heading to Mt. Treadmill to meet the other plushies!" Mega told them. He then flew away carrying the new Plush Legion Omega.
Afterwards, the plushies coming from the Plush City as well as the plushies coming from the Temple of Mega both met at Mt. Treadmill at the same time. "As I predicted, Plush Legion Omega, as well as Mega himself are both here." Mertle stated. They all then gathered around. "It is time for us to work together and stop the unified Ugly Muggians before they can attack!" Mega told the others. Mertle then told them, "Tomorrow, we will go to Ugly Mug to protect Plush Land from being attacked. Everyone I'm about to call will be fighting along side us." The other plushies were listening. "The ones going with us are Emerald, Vanilla, myself, Mega, Chocolate, Wolf, Smasher, Tankerang, Barry, Tina, Tabbie, and Feltsy. That gives us a total of twelve members." Mertle said.
Mertle continued, "That may not be as many as the enemy, but remember, most of them only have one life anyways! There are only seven members in their unified group that have more than one life." "That is correct, but at the same time, we should also be careful. There are many of them, and we know that even some of the ones with only one life still pose a threat. Of course, then there's the leader themselves." Mega added. "What do you mean?" Emerald asked. Mega then told them, "Before he turned against us, I did give him the ability to fly as well as some special abilities. I would have never given them to him if I knew this was going to happen. Also, their leader managed to get six more lives from the Creator as well by climbing the Stairway of Spirits, giving him a total of nine lives." "What?!" Emerald asked in shock.
"This is why we need to fight in Ugly Mug together. While alone, we might not stand as much of a chance against them, if we work together, we might be able to win!" Mega told them. The other plushies understood. They prepared that evening, and then, when the next day came, the team of plushies headed out. "Good luck!" Bunny shouted to Emerald as the twelve plushies were leaving. As the plushies walked their way through Plush Land, the plushies cheered in the Plush City. Queen Ann wished them luck, and then Silver came out as well and said, "Good luck Mom and Dad! Good luck to you too Wolf!" The plushies then headed out, and eventually, they reached the path towards Ugly Mug and walked their way into one of the biggest battles the plushies would have yet.
As the plushies entered Ugly Mug Kitchen, they saw six Sporty bottles blocking the entrance. "They wasted no time preparing for us, it seems." Mega remarked. There was a Dark Red Sporty, a Blue Sporty, a Red Sporty, a Green Sporty, a Purple Sporty, and an Ice Blue Sporty. "I'm Dark Sporty and we will not let you enter!" the Dark Red Sporty told them. "Okay, I'll take care of these guys!" Wolf told the other plushies. Wolf then fired needles of energy at the bottles, taking down the Purple Sporty and the Blue Sporty, but as he was making his attack, Dark Sporty slammed into him, smashing him. Wolf then collapsed and lost his second life. Vanilla saw this and shouted "VANILLA WAVE!" as he attacked the four remaining bottles. The waves hit the other four bottles and defeated them as well. The bottles then all faded away as the plushies continued further into Ugly Mug.
Afterwards, they walked on and got near the Top Predator's food bowl when they were confronted by two giant soda bottles. "I'm Co and this is my friend, La! The two of us are going to bring you plushies down!" one of the bottles told them. "I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS! THE REST OF YOU, BACK UP!" Smasher told the plushies. The other plushies listened and ran back. "What is a little action figure going to do to two huge soda bottles like us?" the other bottle asked as they both laughed. "PREPARE TO GET SMASHED!" Smasher shouted back. He then lunged at Co, and the force of his attack caused Co to fall to the ground and caused Co to fizz so much that he exploded into a giant mess. "Wow. Not cool." La told him. Smasher ignored this and then did the same to La, ending the lives of both bottles. This, however, also caused Smasher to become sticky and unable to move.
Afterwards, due to the mess created by Smasher, Emerald and Mega had to fly the other plushies over the spill and they landed underneath the giant platform. Mega then looked around and told the plushies, "We're not safe yet." Just at that moment, they were confronted by a giant Frigid tea bottle, a regular Hill Lightning soda bottle, a Hill Lightning Red Alert bottle, and a Mr. Too Many Flavors soda bottle. "It looks like this is going to be a tough one." Vanilla then said. "You best believe it's gonna be a tough one! We're takin' y'all plushies down!" the Hill Lightning bottle told them. Just when the plushies were about to be attacked, the Top Predator who was sleeping nearby then woke up and knocked over the four giant bottles as if they were bowling pins, ending the lives of all four bottles. "That's what happens when you hang around in the Top Predator's den like they were!" Mega told the other plushies.
Afterwards, the plushies went on to leave the Top Predator's den, but as they were leaving, Tabbie was stopped by a water bottle. Feltsy shouted, "Tabbie!" as he gave chase to the bottle. When Feltsy confronted the bottle, the bottle said, "I'm going to end this plush's life right here, right now!" The bottle then tried to attack Tabbie, when Feltsy shouted, "I won't let you hurt Tabbie, even if it costs me my last life!" "No! Feltsy! Don't do it!" Tabbie shouted as the bottle went to make its final attack towards Tabbie, but before the bottle could, Feltsy captured the bottle inside his body. "You fool! Let me out right now!" the bottle demanded. Feltsy then looked at Tabbie. "It's been a great run with you. I'm sorry Tabbie, but this is goodbye." he told her.
Feltsy then concentrated all of his life energy into the insides of his body, where he used all of it to attack the water bottle at full force. Afterwards, the water bottle exploded before Feltsy fell to the ground as he lost his final life. "Feltsy!" Tabbie cried as she ran to her lifelong friend. When she got to him, Feltsy then faded away. "No! Feltsy!" she cried as loud as she could. Tabbie had lost the plush who had always been her best friend, and she would cry until she couldn't cry anymore as Feltsy made his way to Plush Heaven. As the other plushies were walking, Mega stopped. "What's wrong?" Vanilla asked him. "It's Feltsy." Mega told him. "What do you mean?! What about Feltsy?!" Emerald asked in panic. "...Feltsy has just made his way to Plush Heaven. He's no longer with us." Mega told him.
After hearing about Feltsy's death, the other plushies pushed forward, as Smasher and Tabbie were still behind. After more walking, they neared the end of the path that led to the open part of Ugly Mug when they met the one who led the bottles, Laundry Detergent. "So, you're the plushies who dare to oppose us here in Ugly Mug?" he then asked. "We won't let Amazing Box control everyone in Plush Land like he does here in Ugly Mug!" Chocolate responded. "Is that the case? If so, let me be the one to bring an end to you plushies!" Laundry Detergent told her. Afterwards, Laundry Detergent opened his lid and poured laundry detergent fluid all over Chocolate, causing Chocolate to lose her last life. Afterwards, she faded away. "Let this be an example of what happens to those who oppose us!" Laundry Detergent boasted. Vanilla then stood there, realizing his wife had just been killed before his own eyes, when something in him snapped.
"You..." he said to Laundry Detergent. Vanilla's anger then rose so much that rainbow energy began flaring from his body. "HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO MY WIFE?!" Vanilla screamed with all his might as rainbow energy flared from his body. Vanilla then charged at Laundry Detergent and gave him as hard of a punch as he could, which knocked Laundry Detergent back so hard that he hit the giant counter at the other side of the open area and exploded everywhere, causing everyone in the open area of Ugly Mug and on the giant counter to lose a life from exposure to the laundry detergent fluid. "There's no way...!" Emerald said in shock. "But it happened. It seems that Vanilla was able to bring out the Light of Life through his sheer willpower alone. I did not help him." Mega told Emerald.
Afterwards, Mega observed and saw that all of those remaining in Ugly Mug were collapsed on the ground, except for Spike Hammer, who somehow managed to avoid it by hiding. There was laundry detergent fluid everywhere. "It looks like there's nothing more we can do while Ugly Mug is in its current state. We're going to have to leave and come back to fight the rest of Ugly Mug another day. At least we know that we've made all of them lose a life today." Mega told the others. Mega then turned to Vanilla and told him, "You did a really good job today Vanilla. I know that this must be tough for you, but let's head home. There's nothing more we can do about any of this. Not you, not Emerald, and not even me." Afterwards, they began to head back and got Tabbie, Wolf, and Smasher before making it back home to Plush Land.
That evening, the ten plushies walked home and told those in the Plush City the news. "Welcome back!" Queen Ann greeted them. Silver and the other plushies were watching as well. Queen Ann then looked around and asked, "Where's Chocolate?" "...I couldn't save her." Vanilla answered with sadness in his voice. "But he certainly did avenge her, I'd say." Barry told himself. Silver then walked to Vanilla. "...What do you mean?" Silver asked her father. "I couldn't save her. Chocolate lost her last life against Laundry Detergent, and I couldn't save her." Vanilla told her. Silver then began crying and Vanilla began to walk away in shame. Seeing this, Queen Ann went up to him and said, "I'm sure Chocolate wouldn't want to see you like this, would she?" "She's no longer with us." Vanilla reminded her. "No, but those in Plush Heaven are always watching over us. If she saw you like this, it would make her sad." Queen Ann then told him.
The next day, the plushies held a funeral for Chocolate. Not just Vanilla, Silver, and Queen Ann, but all of Plush Land mourned at the loss of their princess, and some were mourning for Feltsy as well, especially Tabbie. Watching this, Mega realized something and proceeded to fly away. "Where are you going?!" Emerald asked him. Emerald then followed him to the Temple of Mega. "Why did you just fly away like that?!" Emerald asked him. "I was wrong. I was wrong to think that death in Plush Land didn't have an impact like death in the outside world. I failed to realize that here in Plush Land, our bonds are even more fragile than they are in the outside world. This is all my fault. If I'd have realized this would happen, I would have planned things differently." Mega told Emerald, enraged with himself. "No, none of this is your fault. Some things can't be helped. That's just the kind of beast that battle is." Emerald then told him.
Part 4: Emerald Vs. Amazing Box
After a few days of mourning, as Vanilla was taking care of Silver by himself, the two went into the Plush City where they gathered with Emerald, Mertle, Mega, Wolf, Smasher, Tankerang, Barry, Tina, and Tabbie. "The time has come for us to return to Ugly Mug. If we don't go soon, they might attack first." Mega told the others. "Who's going to take care of Silver?!" Vanilla asked. The other plushies looked around for a second, until Mertle told Vanilla, "I'll take care of Silver for you. The other plushies need you more than they need me. Besides, I'm just a liability out there on the battlefield." "Then I’ll leave Silver to you. Be good, okay Silver?" Vanilla said to them. Mertle then nodded, and so did Silver. Afterwards, the team of nine plushies went to make the trip back to Ugly Mug.
Afterwards, the nine plushies returned to Ugly Mug, as Mega was telling them, "There's nine of us and only seven of them, so as far as numbers go, we have the upper hand over them." Something then jumped down from the giant platform, slamming Barry and Tina, causing them to lose their second lives instantly. It was Paw Raider. "...Never mind what I just said." Mega told the others. Tabbie then walked up and told the other plushies, "I'll take care of him! The rest of you go on!" The other six plushies agreed, so Emerald, Vanilla, Mega, Tankerang, Wolf, and Smasher went on as Tabbie kept Paw Raider back. "You're really brave to try to take me on by yourself, you know that?" Paw Raider told Tabbie.
"I am the only plush who should be the one to bring you down." Tabbie told him. "You fool. Surely you remember that I'm the one who brought you into this world?" Paw Raider then reminded her. "That is why I, your daughter, should be the only plush to face you." Tabbie replied. "So be it! I will defeat you, Tabbie!" Paw Raider told her. Paw Raider then slammed Tabbie very hard, but Tabbie was able to keep on going. At that moment, Tabbie noticed that the Top Predator was approaching at full speed, so she, with all of her might, held down the big orange cat as the Top Predator approached. "But if you do this, you'll go down too!" Paw Raider told her. "I guess it's a good thing I still have another life after this one!" Tabbie then told him. Afterwards, the Top Predator ran both of them over, causing Tabbie to lose her second life and causing Paw Raider to lose his last.
Meanwhile, the six other plushies were walking on when Emerald saw Spike Hammer nearby. "Oh, hi again!" Emerald said before firing a Beauty Beam at the Spike Hammer, causing it to lose its last life. Afterwards, the six plushies reached the open area of Ugly Mug, where they saw Golden Backscratcher, Mr. Spoon, and Lunch Box. "I'll fight the Golden Backscratcher by myself!" Wolf told the others. "No! You're on your last life! I'll fight him too!" Vanilla told him. "And I'll fight Mr. Spoon then!" Tankerang said. "LET ME FIGHT THE LUNCH BOX!" Smasher shouted. "No, leave Lunch Box to me. His power is terrifying. He's certainly not someone that you would want to fight. You should go help Tankerang instead." Mega told him. "OKAY! THAT WORKS TOO!" Smasher replied. "As for you, Emerald, you go on to the giant counter!" Mega said. Emerald agreed and flew up.
Afterwards, Wolf and Vanilla faced the Golden Backscratcher. Wolf fired needles of energy at the backscratcher but they all missed. "You think that's going to work on someone of my figure? Think again, little Wolf." Golden Backscratcher told him. Afterwards, Wolf leaped towards the backscratcher, who slammed him into the ground, causing him to lose his last life. Wolf then faded away. After he was gone, the Golden Backscratcher looked at Vanilla and told him, "You're next, little kitten." Before the backscratcher could attack though, Vanilla slapped Golden Backscratcher, causing him to crash into a wall and get bent, making Golden Backscratcher lose both of his remaining lives at once. "I wasn't even trying." Vanilla told himself.
Meanwhile, Tankerang and Smasher went to face Mr. Spoon. "I'm going to bring you two plushies down." Mr. Spoon told them. Mr. Spoon then tried to slam into Smasher's head, but it did nothing. Tankerang looked at the spoon and asked, "Is that supposed to be your attack?" "Of course it is! I'm using my full power right now!" Mr. Spoon told them. "REALLY?! I CAN BARELY EVEN FEEL IT!" Smasher remarked. Smasher then punched Mr. Spoon, causing the spoon to collapse on the ground and lose a life. "...Seriously? That might have been the weakest foe we've ever faced." Tankerang stated. Meanwhile, they saw a light glowing. They looked and saw Mega's arms had become sharp again as he tore apart the Lunch Box, making the Lunch Box lose both of his lives. Mega then flew away, exhausted. "It looks like he had a bit of a tougher time though." Tankerang told Smasher.
Meanwhile, Emerald flew up and landed on the giant counter where he saw Amazing Box. "You're the Amazing Box I've been hearing about, aren't you?!" Emerald asked. "That's right!" Amazing Box told him. Just then, Mr. Fork slapped Emerald, causing Emerald to collapse to the ground and lose his fifteenth life. Afterwards, Vanilla flew up after he defeated Golden Backscratcher and told Mr. Fork, "I'll deal with you!" "You'll regret that decision." Mr. Fork responded. The two of them then went to the top of the wide white tower nearby. After they left, Emerald got back up and began emitting rainbow energy. "It looks like the one interfering is gone, so now I'll take you on for real!" Emerald told him. Emerald then slammed into Amazing Box, causing Amazing Box to lose his second life.
Meanwhile, Vanilla and Mr. Fork reached the top of the wide white tower where they would fight. Mr. Fork then told him, "I'm Amazing Box's right hand fork! There's no way we will lose to the likes of you plushies!" Vanilla then began emitting rainbow energy and replied, "We'll see about that." He then slapped Mr. Fork, causing him to fall down to Ugly Mug below, as he told Vanilla, "I may have lost, but Amazing Box will surely win!" Mr. Fork then hit the ground and lost his second life. "That fork only made me use twenty percent of my new power. Are me and Emerald really that powerful?" Vanilla asked himself. Vanilla and Mr. Fork's fight had ended, but Emerald and Amazing Box's fight was not over yet.
Afterwards, thinking that he had won after ending Amazing Box's second life, Emerald stopped emitting the rainbow energy and began to cheer, but afterwards, Amazing Box got up and shouted, "Amazing Box away, Gray Cat Power!" before his energy formed around him and took the shape of a gray cat once again. The energy then used its claws and slashed Emerald, causing Emerald to lose his sixteenth life. Afterwards, Emerald got back up and began emitting rainbow energy again. "So you're like me!" Emerald remarked. "You can thank that black cat of yours for that!" Amazing Box told him. Emerald then fired a Beauty Beam at Amazing Box, causing the box's power to go away as Amazing Box lost his third life.
Afterwards, Emerald waited for Amazing Box to get back up, and when he did, he attacked him again, making Amazing Box lose his fourth life. He waited again and attacked when Amazing Box got back up again, making Amazing Box lose his fifth life. The same happened with Amazing Box's sixth, seventh, and eighth lives. Afterwards, he decided to stay down. Emerald then powered down and cheered, "Yay! I've finally won!" Before he could continue cheering, Amazing Box got back up and told him, "It's time for me to use my ultimate ability! After this, you'll be toast!" After saying this, Amazing Box opened his lid and used the attack that Mega warned him to never use. He shouted "AMAZING CANNON!" as he fired a giant white laser at Emerald, making the bunny lose his seventeenth life. Afterwards, Amazing Box's lid was turned to dust from the attack, causing Amazing Box's soul to leave his body, ending his life forever.
Shortly after, Emerald got back up and saw that Amazing Box was no more. Vanilla then flew towards him and saw this too before he landed to meet him. "We've won!" Vanilla cheered. The two then flew down to meet the other plushies. The plushies cheered when Emerald, Vanilla, Smasher, Tankerang, as well as Barry, Tina, and Tabbie returned to Plush Land. Afterwards, the plushies went back to their usual lives, except for Vanilla, whose life would never be the same after losing Chocolate, as Vanilla would take care of Silver by himself. Also, Mr. Fork and Mr. Spoon, being the last survivors of Ugly Mug, would live by themselves, not getting involved with the plushies ever again. The plushies would live their ordinary lives for two more plush years until the next chapter of their lives would unfold.
Part 5: Silver & the Top Predator
It had been two plush years since the defeat of Amazing Box in Ugly Mug Kitchen. Vanilla got up one morning and went to wake Silver up, but he went to where Silver usually sleeps, but she was not there. "Has Silver gone missing again?! I thought that she grew out of that phase a long time ago!" Vanilla told himself. He went outside of his home, and as he feared, Silver was not there either. "She's not here either. I doubt that she's gone to the mountain since Wolf is not with us anymore. There's only one thing I can think of that might help!" Vanilla then told himself. Vanilla then headed to Mt. Treadmill to see if a certain turtle knew anything. When he arrived, Emerald told him, "Hi Vanilla! It's been a while! Where's Silver?" "That's what I'm here about." Vanilla replied.
Vanilla went to Mertle after Emerald greeted him. "Hello Vanilla. I had a feeling you would be headed here." Mertle told him. Vanilla asked him, "Do you have any idea where Silver went? I can't imagine she went to the mountain, and I can't find her anywhere in the Plush City!" Mertle then told him, "You are correct. Your daughter is not at the mountain, or in Plush Land, for that matter. Oh, but don't worry, she hasn't passed on." "Don't tell me... Is she in Ugly Mug Kitchen?!" Vanilla asked in shock. "She is indeed. I may want to warn you though, if you go to find her, you might not like what you see." Mertle told him. "Thank you for telling me where she is!" Vanilla told the old turtle as he began to leave. "Are you going there?" Mertle asked. "I am!" Vanilla answered. "I wish you luck then." Mertle responded. Vanilla then left Mt. Treadmill to find his missing daughter.
Meanwhile in Ugly Mug Kitchen, Silver climbed a wide white tower next to the open area of Ugly Mug, but not the same one where Vanilla fought Mr. Fork. When she got up there, there was a blue rug, and on top of it was the Top Predator, lying down. She approached him, but he did not attack despite being awake. Silver could see that his eyes were more tired than usual. She could tell that something was wrong. She then decided to lay down next to him. She told him, "Everything will be alright." She did not know if he could understand what she was saying, but the Top Predator seemed to accept her being there. While this was happening, somebody was observing from the sky. It was Mega. "So, Silver can sense it too, it seems. I wonder if the other plushies would see it the same way though?" he asked himself.
Not long afterwards, Vanilla arrived in the open area of Ugly Mug Kitchen. He looked up to the top of the wide white tower and was shocked to see Silver laying with the Top Predator. He shouted, "Silver! What are you doing up there?!" Silver heard this and got up. She told the Top Predator, "I'm sorry. I'm going to have to leave now. Don't worry, I'll be back. I promise." She then climbed down the tower and went to Vanilla. "You should know better than that! He could have ended one of your lives!" he told her. "I'm sorry..." she responded. They then went home to Plush Land and went to sleep. The next morning, however, Vanilla woke up and went to wake up Silver, and she was gone again. "She didn't go there again, did she?!" Vanilla asked himself before he headed off.
Later on, that same day, Vanilla arrived in Ugly Mug Kitchen once again, and when he looked up to the white tower, he once again saw Silver laying with the Top Predator. "Don't tell me... Has she fallen in love with the Top Predator?!" he asked himself in shock. Silver looked down and saw him. "You need to come down here right now!" Vanilla demanded her. "I'm sorry. I have to go again. I'll be back hopefully." Silver told the Top Predator before she headed down once again. Vanilla then asked her, with a very upset tone, "Why do you keep going up there with the Top Predator?!" "I can tell that something is wrong. I don't think he's feeling well." Silver told him. "What are you talking about?! He doesn't seem any different to me!" Vanilla shouted as Mega watched from the sky. Mega then decided to descend.
When Mega landed, Vanilla asked, "How long have you been here?! Why didn't you stop this?!" Mega then told him, "I feel that Silver is correct about the Top Predator." "What do you mean?!" Vanilla asked. "Just earlier today, I went up the Stairway of Spirits and saw that the inside of the Top Predator's litter box at the top was red. I know that you two probably don't know what that means, but I know that the litter box being like that is no good. These could very well be the last days that the Top Predator is alive." Mega told them. "That doesn't tell me why Silver has been seeing him!" Vanilla responded. "I've been observing her both times, and I can see that she has been seeing him to make sure that he isn't alone. She can see it in his eyes and his behavior that he's not feeling well." Mega told him.
After Mega explained everything to them, Vanilla and Silver headed back to Plush Land. Mega then flew up the Stairway of Spirits and went beyond the barrier to go to Creation Summit. When Mega got there, he asked the Creator, "Aren't you concerned about the Top Predator? Once he passes on, he won't be able to come back. He'll be gone from this world forever." Beyond what Mega could see, the Creator had tears in their eyes. "I know." they told him. "If you know, then why aren't you doing anything?" Mega asked. "Because there's nothing I can do. Even my powers can't save a cat from old age." they told Mega. Mega already knew that there was nothing the Creator could do to save the Top Predator, as the Top Predator was a cat, not a plush. Still, Mega hoped that something could be done. The Top Predator had been there from Plush Land's beginnings. He knew that life wouldn't be the same without him, and the Creator knew it too, but there was nothing either of them could do to save him.
The next plush day, Vanilla and Silver were out in the Plush City when the Top Predator slowly walked into the city. The Top Predator then fell onto the ground. Mega saw this and flew up the Stairways of Spirits as quickly as he could to tell the Creator. They then came down to Plush Land and sat near the Top Predator. Vanilla, Silver, Emerald, and Mertle then gathered around him. "What's going on?" Emerald asked the others. "It seems that the Top Predator doesn't have much longer in this world." Mertle explained. "Oh no..." Silver told herself. As the Top Predator lives his last moments, the Creator and the plushies stayed by him. The Top Predator didn't expect them to do this, but he knew that he couldn't do anything about it, so he just accepted it. Eventually, the Top Predator closed his eyes and then breathed his last breath. The Top Predator had passed away.
After the plushies had left, the Creator called by their friend Abby. She was a girl with blood red hair and green eyes that he met at school, that like the Creator, had powers that caused her to become an outcast to everyone else. She and the Creator wrapped up the body of the Top Predator in a plastic bag and went somewhere away from the Plush World. In a grassy area, they buried the Top Predator and paid their respects, and alongside them, a black haired girl with green eyes who wore a black dress, black shoes, and looked to be a few years older than them paid her respects as well. "Who are you?" Abby asked. "...Just somebody passing by. It seemed like you two had lost someone special. That's all." the girl responded. The girl then walked away. "I'm going to miss him. Hopefully he's resting peacefully somewhere beyond the sky." the black haired girl told herself. The girl then surrounded herself in a bright green light and turned into a certain black plush cat. The girl was Mega in his human form. He wanted to be there to pay his respects as well to his old friend.
The next plush day, Silver went out to Ugly Mug Kitchen and climbed the wide white tower, hoping that somehow, what she had seen was just a bad dream. When she got to the top, there was no one at the blue rug. "...He's really gone, isn't he?" Silver said in a sad voice. She then laid down, put her head down, and mourned for the Top Predator. Mega then landed next to her. "...What are you doing?" Silver asked. "I believe that when our bodies finally give in and we pass on, our spirits go to a place beyond the sky, beyond even the Creator themselves, and I believe that when we pass on, we will be able to see all of our loved ones again. I believe that someday, the two of you will meet again. That's what I believe." Mega told her. Over the next few plush days, Silver kept returning to the tower with Mega, remembering the times when the Top Predator was alive, and the Creator was doing the same at Creation Summit.
After the Top Predator passed on, he could feel himself leaving his body and his soul went beyond the sky to a world neighboring the world that the Plush World was on. This world was very warm, and there, his soul was greeted by a pale skinned man with black hair and blue eyes. This man wore a white elastic suit with blue accents creating the illusion of a zipper and a belt, and wore blue shoes. "It seems that you've lived a fairly long life for a cat. Also, did you realize that you were the strongest cat alive? That's impressive!" the man told him. The Top Predator could not respond. "...This might seem kind of goofy, but how would you feel about being a dog? Trust me, I have my reasons. You will be an Earthling dog!" the man told him. Afterwards, he made it happen. A few human months later, the Top Predator was reborn as a black lab puppy with brown eyes.
Part 6: Plush Land's Monkey Uprising
After three plush years, Vanilla was taking care of Silver by himself, Emerald and Mertle were training at Mt. Treadmill, and Mega was watching over Plush Land from the Temple of Mega when all four of them were taken away by the Creator at once. Silver, Easter, and the others freaked out as the four plushies were taken by the Creator, and their destination was the same as the previous time this happened, and that was Creation Summit. There were no encounters from the Top Predator, as he had passed on around a plush year before, but this had nothing to do with that. The Creator then dropped the four plushies off at Creation Summit.
When the Creator appeared, Mega asked, "What caused you to come and get us like that?" "Do you remember that friend I made?" the Creator asked Mega. "Friend?" Vanilla asked in confusion. "The Creator has a friend?!" Emerald then said, surprised. "I remember. What about her?" Mega asked. "Ooh! It's a girl!" Emerald said. "Who's the lucky gal?" Mertle asked. "Will you three be quiet?!" Mega then yelled at them. "Sorry..." the three of them replied. "I'm sure they were joking around Mega." the Creator told him. The Creator then told the four of them, "The reason I brought you four here is because I want to introduce you to her." the Creator explained. "Where will we be meeting her?" Mega asked. "We will be meeting in the outside world, in the field right outside of the Plush World." the Creator told them. The Creator then took the four and headed there.
The Creator took Emerald, Vanilla, Mertle, and Mega to the field right outside of the house that the Plush World was located. The Creator then let the four down to the grass below and they saw another giant being like the Creator, but unlike the Creator, they could actually see her face. She had blood red hair and green eyes. "Meet my friend, Abby! I've told her about you four!" the Creator told the plushies. "Nice to meet you." Mertle told Abby, before Emerald told her, "I'm Emerald the bunny!" "And I'm Vanilla." Vanilla told her. Mega then flew up and told her, "I'm Mega! Nice to meet you!" Mega and Abby then shook their hands as Mega was in the air. "You can fly?" Abby asked him. "That's right. Emerald and Vanilla can too!" Mega replied. "You three are so lucky. Me and the Creator can't fly like you can." Abby told him. "I thought you can create fire though!" Mega said. "I can." Abby responded.
Meanwhile, as Emerald, Vanilla, Mertle, and Mega were away, five plush monkeys began to attack Plush Land. Leading the monkeys was a large white plush monkey that was literally named White Monkey. White Monkey walked into the Plush Palace, and into the throne room where Queen Ann was located. "Hello! What brings you here?" Queen Ann asked the White Monkey, but instead of giving a polite response, he instead karate chopped Queen Ann in the head, ending her last life. After Queen Ann faded away, White Monkey came out to the Plush City, where the other four monkeys also were, and declared to Plush Land, "Queen Ann is now no more, and as such, I declare myself the new ruler of Plush Land, and we will capture and imprison every non-monkey here in Plush Land so we monkeys can be free to do whatever we please!"
After White Monkey took over, very quickly, the monkeys pulled out the familiar blue tub that Black Lullaby used to use, and found most of the plushies, capturing them with no hope of escaping. Including those still at Mt. Treadmill, there were only a few small groups of plushies who hadn't been captured. One of these small groups was led by a blue eyed plush cat that was light blue and dark blue, having a pattern similar to a tuxedo cat, and had a crescent moon mark on her chest. Her name was Moony. With her was a small white plastic car named Race Car, a brown plush bear named Teddy, a gray plush tabby cat named Ozzy Oz Oz, and a small brown and black plush dog with a white underbelly, white legs, and a stamp with the appearance of a circuit board on the bottom of one of his feet that was named Digital Dog. The five plushies were eventually found and chased into Ugly Mug by a red plush monkey, when the crescent moon on Moony's body began to glow light blue as she cried through telepathy, "Help! Anyone! White Monkey is attacking us! Please help us!"
To prove that she could make fire, Abby backed away a bit from Emerald and the others and made a little bit of fire with her hands, before quickly putting it out. "That was so cool!" Emerald said in amazement. "It's nowhere near as special as the Creator's ability to bring life to inanimate objects. That's what they told me to call them when I'm around you, even though they told me that you know their actual name. This 'they' thing is pretty hard to do, by the way!" Abby told the plushies. Afterwards, Abby began to feel discomfort in her head. "What's wrong?!" the Creator asked her. "I don't know. It feels like I can hear the screams of someone. I'm hearing them crying for help. Something about a white monkey. It's coming from a blue cat." Abby told them. "That's Moony's special ability!" the Creator then stated in panic. "Who?!" Emerald asked. "I need to take you to Ugly Mug now!" the Creator told him.
Afterwards, after the red monkey defeated all of the plushies besides Moony and Digital Dog, the four plushies arrived, being Emerald, Vanilla, Mega, and Mertle. "What's going on here?!" Emerald asked in anger. Vanilla then noticed the crescent moon on Moony and asked, "Are you Moony?" She nodded, and the red monkey then shouted, "I AM MADNESS! I WILL BE CAPTURING ALL OF YOU! WREEE!" before flailing his arms around like crazy and making Vanilla lose his sixth life. Afterwards, Emerald began to emit rainbow energy before shouting to Madness, "You're going down!" He then fired a Beauty Beam at the Madness and made him lose a life. Afterwards, the red monkey faded away. "Only one life?" Mega asked himself. Afterwards, Emerald, Vanilla, Mega, and Mertle joined up with Moony and the other four plushies. "There's another group at a mountain just outside of Dinosaur Valley!" Moony told them. They then left to head there.
After Vanilla recovered, the nine plushies headed towards Plush Land, and when they reached Dinosaur Valley, they ran into a blue plush monkey. "I'm Sadness..." the monkey told them. "Why are you sad?" Mertle asked him. "The plushies up there got away from me, and the other monkeys get to go after the other groups... And then there's me, all alone... That's why I'm so sad..." Sadness told them. Sadness then looked at them and said, "Oh right, you bunch aren't monkeys... I guess I have to capture you and give you to White Monkey... That makes me sad... Everything makes me sad..." Afterwards, Sadness ran at them. Moony then fired a light blue beam from the crescent moon symbol on her chest, causing Sadness to collapse on the group and lose a life. He did not fade away. "Okay, it might have just been him then." Mega remarked, remembering how Madness faded away. They then climbed the mountain outside of Dinosaur Valley.
When they reached the top of the mountain, they saw a group of plushies cornered by a small black chimp that was familiar to Emerald. "No way, you too?!" Emerald asked him. The black chimp then turned to Emerald and told them, "Hello Emerald and Vanilla. Long time, no see. This time, however, I'm not here to take anyone to the hospital. This time, I'm here to take all of you to the blue tub to lock you away for good so us monkeys can be free!" Afterwards, the black chimp leaped at Emerald at high speeds and caused Emerald to collapse and lose his eighteenth life. Vanilla's rainbow energy then flared up and before he knocked the black chimp off of the mountain, where the chimp would fall to the ground below and lose his last life. Afterwards, the group of plushies he had cornered had been freed.
Afterwards, Mega realized that the plushies who had been cornered were none other than Plush Legion Omega, which was Tabbie, Tina, Barry, and Tankerang, but there was also one extra. It was a plush jack-o-lantern with an innocent smile. "I recognize most of you, but who's the jack-o-lantern?" Mega asked. "I'm Pumpkin! Most people call me a jack-o-lantern, but I know down in my own pumpkin heart that I'm Pumpkin! Oh, and I can do jumping tricks!" the jack-o-lantern responded before jumping really high, almost hitting the ceiling, and then falling back down safely. "...He insisted on joining us." Tankerang told Mega. "I see." Mega responded. "There is also a group unaffected at the foot of Mt. Treadmill." Moony then told the others. "It's good to know that they're safe." Mertle replied. "A monkey is headed there as we speak." Moony then added. "Never mind what I said." Mertle said.
"Also, we need to avoid the Plush City for now since White Monkey is there." Moony added. "That means we have to take the detour route to get to Mt. Treadmill." Mertle told her. Afterwards, they climbed down the mountain and walked through the Valley of Mega before sneaking their way around until they reached the other side of Plush Land. They then walked further and reached the mountain that Wolf used to live at and walked past that as well. Eventually, as they walked, they reached the foot of Mt. Treadmill, where Smasher, Easter, Bunny, and Bunnette were. "There you are! You're safe!" Emerald said in glee. "There's something wrong?" Easter asked nervously. Afterwards, from the sky, a puppet with no arm controlling it flew down, floating like a ghost. It was not just any ghost, however. It was the Monkey Ghost.
When Emerald saw the Monkey Ghost heading towards his wife, children, and Smasher, he began emitting rainbow energy before he flew up and shouted, "I'm not letting you lay a hand on my family!" Emerald then fired a Beauty Beam at the Monkey Ghost, causing it to fall to the ground before fading away. "So the ghost was actually alive." Mertle concluded. "The key word there is 'was.'" Mega added. Afterwards, Emerald flew back down, with Easter, Bunny, Bunnette, and Smasher grouping up with the other plushies. "Now the only plush left to deal with is White Monkey." Moony told them. "Then let's bring him down and take back Plush Land!" Emerald said. The other plushies agreed and all eighteen of them headed to the Plush City to face off against the White Monkey.
Afterwards, the plushies arrived at the Plush City where the White Monkey was dancing around and causing a mess. "We're here to take back Plush Land!" Vanilla told him. "No plush is going to tell me what to do!" White Monkey yelled. He then jumped at Vanilla and kicked him, causing Vanilla to lose his seventh life. "You'll pay for that!" Emerald told him. He then began emitting rainbow energy and flew towards White Monkey at high speeds, but then White Monkey grabbed him and slammed him to the ground, making Emerald lose his nineteenth life. White Monkey then started dancing around again, chanting, "No one is telling me what to do-oh-oh! No one is telling me what to do-ah-ah!" repeatedly before Emerald got back up, now on his final life.
When Emerald got back up, Emerald's rainbow energy began flaring up far more than it ever had before. "If he uses that much energy, it's going to be too much for him to handle! He's going to end up losing his last life!" Mega told the others. "Wait, what?!" Vanilla asked in shock. Emerald then told them, "To defend Plush Land, I have no other choice. I have to use every last bit of energy I have." Afterwards, Emerald flew at White Monkey at his top speed, and through his nose, with all of his power and his life energy, he fired a full powered Beauty Beam at White Monkey. White Monkey tried to resist, but he couldn't, and the Beauty Beam blew a hole straight through his body, clear to the other side, ending the White Monkey's life forever. Afterwards, Emerald collapsed on the ground.
When Emerald collapsed on the ground, the other plushies ran to him. "Emerald!" Easter cried as she ran to his body. As the rest of the plushies gathered around him, he then told them, with the last of his energy, "...I won, didn't I?" After saying those final words, Emerald then lost his last life. "Emerald..." Easter said as she cried at the sight of her husband's death. Mega closed his eyes as the other plushies stood in silence, paying respects to the hero who had died so that all of the other plushies in Plush Land could live. Afterwards, Emerald's body faded away, leaving only the memories of him behind in Plush Land, as Easter grieved for his death. Emerald may have been gone, but thanks to him, Plush Land was not over and would continue for time to come.
After Emerald's body faded away, Mega's spirit met with Emerald to personally take him up to Plush Heaven. As Mega flew Emerald up the Stairway of Spirits, Mega told him, "You were a valiant bunny who fought for all of Plush Land. No, not just for Plush Land, but the entire Plush World. And for the Plush World, you fought with every life you had to protect those dear to you, as well as everyone else. Emerald, you are a hero, and no one down in Plush Land will ever forget that." After telling him this, Mega flew Emerald beyond the barrier and led him into Plush Heaven, dropping him off. "Your duty in Plush Land is now over. Emerald. It is time for you to rest." Mega then told him. Afterwards, Mega's spirit left Emerald to return back to the body where it belongs.
After being freed and after mourning Emerald's death, the plushies approached Vanilla. "Since Queen Ann is no longer with us, that makes you the new king of Plush Land." Moony told him. The plushies unanimously agreed. Mertle then came up to him and told him, "Vanilla, or no, I mean, King Vanilla, you are now the new ruler of Plush Land. I will always be there to support you. Good luck to you now, as Plush Land's new king!" Afterwards, King Vanilla and Silver made their way to the Plush Palace, where the new king would take his throne and rule over Plush Land, and where Silver would finally be a princess.
A few plush months after, King Vanilla was ruling over Plush Land, and together with Mega, he had made a memorial of Emerald out of paper mache, placing it towards the center of the Plush City near the palace. As King Vanilla and Mega were placing the memorial down, the king asked, "I wonder how Emerald is doing up in Plush Heaven?" "Who knows? Only those who are up there right now would know." Mega told him. "True." King Vanilla responded. Meanwhile, up on Creation Summit, which was actually the widest mountain in Plush Heaven, the Creator was watching over Plush Land, and with them, Emerald was watching as well. "I'm just fine Vanilla. I'm just fine." Emerald then said as they continued to watch. The story of Plush Land was not over yet though, as their most difficult challenge had yet to come, as a certain rainbow bear watched everything from the Plush Underworld.
Part 7: Attack of Rainbow, God of Death
Two plush years had passed since Emerald passed on to Plush Heaven, when in the Plush Underworld, Rainbow's energy began rapidly rising. "I can feel it. The time for me to attack Plush Land has come." he then stated. Afterwards, Rainbow began approaching the door that served as the barrier of the Plush Underworld. Rainbow then punched through the door, shattering it. As the shards of the door fell to the ground, the Creator got angry and tried to charge at Rainbow, but Rainbow flew towards the Creator and punched them in the gut, causing them to collapse to the ground in pain. "Know your place, you insignificant being." Rainbow then told the Creator. Afterwards, Rainbow flew down the Stairway of Spirits, with the Creator still in pain.
Afterwards, Rainbow flew down to Ugly Mug Kitchen. When he got there, he saw Mr. Fork and Mr. Spoon on the ground. "Hey look, there are my first victims!" Rainbow then told himself before flying down. "Who are you?!" Mr. Fork asked in terror. "I am Rainbow, the God of Death. That will be the last thing you two ever know." Rainbow told them. He then fired a red laser at the two, turning them to dust. After this, Rainbow flew back up and told himself, "Ugly Mug isn't any fun. I suppose I should head to Plush Land now." Rainbow then saw Valentine Devil. "First, I'll tie up some loose ends." Rainbow said. He then fired a red laser at Valentine Devil, turning him to dust as well. "There we go. Now it's time for me to head to Plush Land." Rainbow told himself before flying off towards Plush Land.
Rainbow flew to Plush Land, where he saw the plushies living and thriving in the Plush City. "Oh look! Plenty of plushies for me to turn to dust! This should be fun!" Rainbow stated before flying down to the Plush City. Rainbow then started firing red lasers at random plushies, causing them to turn to dust as other random plushies began to scream and hide. Afterwards, Plush Legion Omega arrived to stop him. "Stop attacking the Plush City right now!" Tankerang demanded. "And if I refuse?" Rainbow asked. Tankerang then began charging at Rainbow, when Rainbow fired a laser at him, Tabbie, Barry, and Tina, turning all of Plush Legion Omega to dust, giving them no chance to go to Plush Heaven. The plushies who were killed this way not only died in the Plush World, but in the world that was Earth as well.
As the other plushies were hiding after Plush Legion Omega had been destroyed, King Vanilla walked out to confront Rainbow. "Who do you think you are destroying the plushies as you have been?" King Vanilla asked Rainbow in a serious tone. "I am Rainbow, the God of Death." he told him. "Well, no matter who you think you are, anyone who tries to mess with Plush Land has to get through me first!" King Vanilla told him. Vanilla's rainbow energy then flared up and he flew towards Rainbow, who was about to fire a laser at the king, but before he could, Mega flew in and got Vanilla out of the way. "Your body would have been destroyed if that hit you!" Mega told the king as he flew him to safety. He then dropped King Vanilla off at the Temple of Mega and flew back down to Plush Land, where he would confront Rainbow.
"Why have you come to Plush Land?!" Mega asked Rainbow in anger. "I have come here for the sole purpose of defeating you and the Creator, and now that Emerald is gone, I have the perfect opportunity to do so. I just thought I'd turn some plushies to dust to lure you two out of hiding." Rainbow responded. "There's no way I'm letting you hurt either of us, or any of the plushies, or any of the beings here on Earth!" Mega told him. Mega then tried to fly at Rainbow at full force, but the bear punched him so hard that Mega flew through a wall and fell somewhere in the outside world, far from the house that the Plush World was in. Mega then fell unconscious.
After falling unconscious, Mega sent his spirit to the Plush World to get in contact with someone who could help him. At Creation Summit, the Creator and Emerald were watching what was unfolding down in Plush Land when the spirit of Mega appeared before the two of them. Mega's spirit looked at the Creator and told them, "You must let Emerald fight Rainbow. If you don't, all of Plush Land will be at stake. No, not just Plush Land, but our very lives! If Emerald doesn't stop Rainbow before it's too late, Rainbow will kill the both of us as well as everyone who is close to us, and probably everyone on this planet as well!" After saying this, Mega's spirit disappeared. "It looks like there is no other choice." the Creator said.
The Creator then turned to Emerald and shone a light on him. Afterwards, they told him, "From this day forward, you are no longer bound by the live system of the Plush World. This means that you will now be able to fight to your fullest potential here in the Plush World just like you would in the outside world. However, please be careful. If your body is destroyed, you will die for real, and you will not return to Plush Heaven. You will be gone for good if you get destroyed." Emerald understood the responsibilities that had been placed on him, as he flew beyond the barrier of Plush Heaven and down the Stairway of Spirits. Eventually, he flew through Ugly Mug as well and noticed the dust on the ground and then eventually, he reached Plush Land, where he noticed the damaged that Rainbow had caused. "I need to defeat Rainbow as soon as possible!" Emerald told himself.
Meanwhile, Rainbow found King Vanilla at the Temple of Mega and had flew up to meet him. "Now that Mega has been dealt with, now I can finally deal with you, Vanilla." Rainbow told him. Then, just before Rainbow could deliver a punch to the king, Emerald got in the way and blocked the punch. "Is that... Emerald!" King Vanilla shouted, as he felt both happy and fearful. Emerald's energy was flaring just as it was when Emerald was fighting White Monkey, but this time, since he was not bound by the live system, Emerald was free to use this power as much as he wanted without it destroying his body. Rainbow saw the rainbow energy flaring up from Emerald and told him, "The power of your Light of Life disgusts me. As the God of Death, I must extinguish this light. Prepare to die, Emerald."
Afterwards, Rainbow fired one of his red lasers at Emerald, but Emerald fired a Beauty Beam at it, cancelling it out. "Let's try that again." Rainbow said. Rainbow then tried it again, but once again, Emerald cancelled it out with a Beauty Beam. "There's no way you're able to keep this up!" Rainbow told the rabbit. Afterwards, Rainbow kept firing red lasers at Emerald, but Emerald cancelled out each and every laser that was sent his way with a Beauty Beam. Eventually, Rainbow got annoyed and said, "OK. I've had enough of this." Rainbow then slammed through the wall with Emerald, pushing both of them into the sky in the outside world, but Emerald then pushed back, preventing Rainbow from pushing him any farther away. They were now in the sky above the city that contained the house where the Plush World was located, and this was where the rest of their battle would unfold.
As Emerald and Rainbow were fighting in the sky of the outside world, a plane began to fly near where they were located. "Oh, look! That's a lot of lives I can end!" Rainbow stated. Rainbow fired a laser at the plane, but then, before the laser could hit the plane, someone slapped it away. Emerald and Rainbow then turned to see who it is. It was a girl with bright blonde hair and bright blue eyes who wore a frilly yellow blouse and skirt with white accents along with white sneakers, and alongside her was Mega. "You monster! You were about to kill all of the people on that plane!" Mega shouted at Rainbow. "Who's the girl?" Emerald asked. "I'm Nikki! Mega called upon me once he learned that I have the ability to fly and create light. Of course, I fight evil like this guy all the time, but this bear here seems to be tougher than anything I've ever faced!" the girl told them.
"You mean, he's even stronger than you?!" Emerald asked. Nikki then nodded. "But then again, you're stronger than I am as well." Nikki added. "It doesn't matter if there's three of you. Up until now, I haven't even been using much of my power." Rainbow told them. Afterwards, Rainbow began charging a huge red attack with his hands. "It's time for us to combine our Lights of Life. Are you ready you two?" Mega then asked the other two. Emerald and Nikki nodded. "Okay, then, let's do this." Mega said. Then, Emerald and Mega's rainbow energy flared up and they combined their energy into a giant rainbow cannon of light. "DEATH CANNON!" Rainbow then shouted as he fired his red cannon at them, but Mega and Emerald fired their cannon at the same time.
After Emerald and Mega fired their Cannon of Light and Rainbow fired his Death Cannon, the blasts hit each other and they pushed against each other, but neither of them were getting closer to getting through the other. Nikki then flew to where Emerald and Mega were and then added her light into the blast. With that little bit of extra power, their Light of Life, combined with Nikki's light, began to slowly push through Rainbow's cannon of darkness, until eventually, the light broke through and consumed the cannon of death as the light hit Rainbow at full force. Afterwards, Rainbow fell, crashing down onto the ground below, where he would fall into a coma from the power of life that had just hit him. Seeing this, Emerald shouted with glee, "We win!" Mega and Nikki then smiled and cheered with Emerald, as they had not only prevented the destruction of Plush Land, but of Earth as well.
Afterwards, Nikki told Emerald and Mega, "I have to leave now you two! I have more people to save!" "I'm sure you do. Thank you so much for helping us!" Mega told her. "No problem! That's what I'm here for!" Nikki told Mega. Afterwards, Nikki told them, "Well, for now, bye!" before she flew away. "I didn't think about someone with special powers like the Creator becoming a vigilante." Mega told Emerald. "I know, right?! That was so cool!" Emerald replied. Afterwards, Mega told Emerald, "I think it's time that we returned to Plush Land." Emerald agreed. They then flew down to the house where the Plush World was located and flew in through one of the holes that Rainbow had left in the wall. When they returned, the plushies, and the Creator, who was there as well, cheered for Emerald and Mega. "Great job on defeating Rainbow!" King Vanilla told them.
After they cheered, the Creator told the plushies, "Now that Rainbow is gone, we will need to repair the physical damages that have been done to Plush Land. There are some things that we, however, cannot repair, and that is the many lives that have been lost here in Plush Land. There is something we can repair though, and that's the walls!" the Creator told them. Afterwards, the plushies and the Creator would get to work on repairing the two holes in the wall that Rainbow had made, and eventually, Abby joined to repair the wall as well. After not too long, the wall had been patched up, and the surviving plushies were able to resume life as usual, including Emerald, who got to stay in Plush Land since he was no longer bound by the live system. Not that long after though, something else would happen.
A few plush days after the wall was repaired, Mega gathered the plushies and the Creator around in the Plush City to tell them something important. "I have gathered you here to tell you something important. I regret to inform you that I will be leaving the Plush World and will be going to the outside world." Mega told them. "What?!" Emerald asked in shock. "How come?" The Creator asked him. Afterwards, Mega then rose up in the air and began glowing in a bright green light, and afterwards, Mega revealed his true form, which was a black cat much larger than the Top Predator, with green eyes and fur of medium thickness. "...You're not a plush?" the Creator then asked in surprise. "That is correct. I am a cat, not a plush." Mega told them. Mega then whispered to Emerald and Vanilla and told them, "Please come to the Temple of Mega with me real fast." They listened and headed there with him.
Emerald, Vanilla, and Mega, who was now in his true cat form went up to the Temple of Mega. "I have something that I need to tell only the two of you." Mega whispered. They then listened. "The truth is, I am the God of Life, not only in Plush Land, but in the outside world too. As I mentioned before, me and the Creator, and also Abby, Nikki, and Rainbow, are all from a place beyond the sky. That place is a sister world to Earth called Mersunai by those of us from there, and is called Venus by those from Earth." Mega told them. Mega then told them something else as well, which was, "Also, Mertle has prophecized that Rainbow will return one day and destroy not only Plush Land, but all of Earth, and only the Four Omegas, who are the Creator, Abby, Nikki, and someone else can stop him, and no one else on Earth will survive. As such, you two must leave to a place beyond the sky if you wish to survive."
After talking at the Temple of Mega, Emerald, Vanilla, and Mega went back down to the Plush City, where Vanilla then told the plushies, "Me and Emerald will be leaving Plush Land as well. As such, I now declare Moony to be the new ruler of Plush Land, which will no longer be called King or Queen, but shall now be called Kitano, the Leader of the Plush Intelligence, in memory of the old royal family. Now, it is time for us to leave. Goodbye, everyone." Afterwards, Emerald, Vanilla, and Mega began to leave, as Emerald turned back and told the other plushies, "Goodbye everyone! We'll always remember the times we've had together!" Mega then opened the door leading to the outside world, and together, the three walked out, leaving the Plush World forever, flying towards their futures.
The story of Plush Land doesn’t end with Emerald, Vanilla, and Mega being gone, nor does the story of those three end now that they have left Plush Land.
Be sure to look out for new stories relating to Plush Land, Moony, Emerald, Vanilla, Mega, and the Creator!
