Note: This is my first Fanfiction. Please review! Hope you like it!

I do not own any of the Klonoa characters. I only own Reyza, Flieber, and Dark Death.

Klonoa's House, Real World

Klonoa was feeling extra happy today. He looked at his calendar. Yes, today was the day that Leorina should have finished the rebuilding of the Kingdom of Sorrow. His old friend back in Lunatea, Lolo, would be sure to bring him back for the joyous occasion. As the day came to an end, Klonoa set his ring down on his table, as he did every day, and fell asleep.

Sea of Tears, Lunatea

Klonoa soon found himself in a familiar place…except this time, he was awake for the experience. "Arrrrrgh!" he shouted. He was plummeting down into the Sea of Tears, and he didn't know how to swim! He desperately tried to stay in the air, flapping his ears as hard as he could. But the surface of the water was coming fast. He closed his eyes, and suddenly, he landed in something. "What the…?"

Klonoa found himself sitting in Leorina's plane. Tat was in the pilot seat, as always, but behind her was none other than Popka, Lolo's yappy little friend and companion. He was wearing a pilot's helmet with Leorina's trademark on it. "Well, well, Klonoa," shouted Tat over the roar of the Sea of Tears, "we expected you to drop by!" She erupted into a fit of meow-like giggles. Klonoa rolled his eyes.

Popka hit Tat over the head. "Pay attention ta where you're flyin', ya dink!"

"Oh, right!" said Tat. "Sorry, Pops."

"And don't call me that!" shouted Popka. He turned to Klonoa. "I assume ya know why you're here?"

"The Kingdom of Sorrow's been rebuilt, right?" said Klonoa.

"Exactamundo," said Popka, "and everyone wants you ta be there."

"Everyone?" asked Klonoa.

"Yeah!" exclaimed Popka. "Don't ya think all o' Lunatea heard about ya by now? Some people have even started dressing like you! You're famous here!" He handed Klonoa a letter. "Read this. It'll tell ya everything."

Klonoa opened the letter. It read:

Dear Klonoa,

How have you been? As you probably know by now, Leorina has finished rebuilding the Kingdom of Sorrow. It looks fantastic! She's set up everything a kingdom should have: houses, farms, a castle, and many more things! She also built a museum to commemorate your adventures. She wants you to have a look at it, okay? She needs to know if everything is as it should be. Oh, and another thing: I'm a full priestess now, and Leorina wants me to run the Kingdom's temple! Now Tat is a full-time pilot for the airport. Popka has some flying experience, as you well know, and is her new mentor (I hope he isn't too hard on her!). We all look forward to seeing you at the opening of the new Kingdom of Sorrow!

Your friend,

Lolo

Klonoa put the letter back in the envelope. He couldn't wait to see how the new Kingdom, but what he wanted to do most was see his friends again.

Unknown Location, Lunatea

The Hall of Sorrow was as it had been a year ago, when Klonoa had rung its bell and laid the King of Sorrow to rest. But now an ominous, cloaked figure walked around its perimeter, circling the large crater left by the battle between Klonoa and the King of Sorrow. The Bell of Sorrow hung above the crater. The figure raised his arm, and with it, a black ring, similar to Klonoa and Leorina's. He shot a wind bullet at it, and rung it. But the ring was different. It played the bell's tune backwards. Soon, all of the bells of Lunatea were ringing these strange, backwards tunes. One by one, the Elements appeared in the figure's hands. The King of Sorrow's unconscious body lay before him. He smiled. Actually, he didn't smile. He couldn't. He showed an emotion of triumph on his face. He lifted the Elements, and shouted in a raspy, echoing voice, "This world is mine!"

New Kingdom of Sorrow, Lunatea

Tat looked around for the landing site. She found it, and steered the plane toward it. Popka kept his eyes to the runway. "Easy now," he said to Tat, "slow down b'fore ya hit the ground…not too much…make sure ta let out the landin' gear…and…" They landed. "We're good! Make sure it's completely stopped. G'job, Tat. You're not such a bad pilot."

Tat looked at him in a strange way. She tried to raise an eyebrow, but seeing as one of her eyes was always closed, that was hard to do. "Are you feeling okay, Popka?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"You just complimented me."

"I know. There a problem with that?"

"No, no, it's just…I didn't know you gave people compliments."

"Would ya like me ta stop?"

"Uh, no, I…"

"Well, then, be quiet about it!"

Tat rolled her eyes. Klonoa laughed. Popka gave him the stare that told him to shut up. The trio hopped out of the plane and headed toward the temple. There, they saw Lolo preaching a service. They stood quietly in the back until the service was over. She ran up to them and asked, "How did I do?"

"Ya did great, Lolo!" Popka exclaimed first. "Rev'rent and holy all around! Everything a good priestess should have!"

"Oh, thank you, Popka!" She turned to Klonoa. "And welcome back to you, Klonoa! I'm so glad to see you here. Come with me, I'll show you the museum."

The four walked (or in some cases, floated) to the new Klonoa Memorial Museum. Once inside, Klonoa was instantly amazed. Everything he remembered was there. The battles, the enemies, the locations, the people he met. The adventure itself was summed up in this museum. He couldn't see anything that needed changing. "Lolo, this is perfect!" Klonoa exclaimed.

"You really like it?" asked Lolo, excited. "I helped build some of it. I did the sections about La-Lakoosha and Ishras Ark." She pointed toward the exhibits. "Popka helped me with the models."

"They're all beautiful, Lolo," said Klonoa, "great job."

"We just need the Elements to complete the exhibit," said Lolo.

"Well, that won't be a problem," said Klonoa. He remembered that he had safely stored the Elements behind a tree on a hill overlooking the Kingdom before he left.

"Great!" Lolo said. "We'll put them up after the ceremony. Leorina will be happy to see you!"

The ceremony began. It started with speeches made by each of the Kingdoms. Joilant's new ruler was none other than Mommett, a big fan of Klonoa and a showman. His speech was the funniest, since many of the words he said sounded funny because of his accent. After that was done, Leorina stepped to the stage. She was dressed in her trademark gear, but had a badge that identified her as the ruler of the new Kingdom of Sorrow. She spoke into the microphone. "I thank you all for coming to this ceremony today. I would also like to thank my friend Klonoa for coming. Stand up, Klonoa, and give a bow." Klonoa stood awkwardly. He had never been so highly regarded before. He took a bow, and sat down. Everyone clapped. "Klonoa, without you, none of this would have been possible. You not only saved this world, but you saved me. You changed me, and now I am a new person. A better person. You've made this world a better place. And without further ado, I'd like to…" She stopped. Her eyes widened. There was a passing murmur among the crowd. Suddenly, a burst of colored light shot out of her body. "Aggggh!" she screamed. She collapsed, and three more bursts of colored light shot out of her. Klonoa was trying to figure out what was happening as the crowd panicked. But when a purple-ish darkness clouded the sky, he knew. In Leorina's place stood a large, white, insect-like creature, with wings and slender, clawed legs.

Cursed Leorina had returned!
