Disclaimer: I do not own Klonoa or any of its characters. All of them are property of Bandai Namco. I hope I did that right. Now without further ado, I present to you my very first FanFic about how Klonoa was able to return home to Phantomile after the events of Lutenea's Veil. But what will he do once he gets there? Please enjoy, review , and feel free to criticize.


Klonoa: Returning Home

Do you ever have that feeling

Where you don't know whether your awake or asleep?

Well that's basically my life.

But which parts are a dream?

Its always sad when they end though.

I make a friend, then I have to say "goodbye"

What I would give to say- to tell them

I've missed you so much

Klonoa POV:

It feels like I've been floating around for ages. Drifting in an endless sea of nothingness. I can't tell time here. It feels like it wasn't that long ago, yet it was forever ago, that I had to say goodbye to her. I'll never forget the sadness of that moment. But… why did I leave again? Maybe because I thought it was for the best. Because other worlds might need my help? Maybe. Oh well. Guess I'll have to find my way back to her. But first, I wonder where I'm going this time? Who cares? Time for another adventure! Wa-hoo!

Normal POV:

Engulfed I a bright pleasant light, a black cat-rabbit-like young boy was ready to dive into a brave New world- or not so new. The young cat-rabbit, or simply, cabbit sported a plain blue T-Shirt with an oversized zipper attached, a darker shade of blue pair of long shorts, and his favorite hat that his grandfather gifted him with, bearing a symbol of one of his favorite games, Pac-Man. Klonoa's other trademark, his big floppy ears, were black over half way down and then white, separated by a zig-zag between. As the bright light that bathed Klonoa in warmth disappeared, he found himself diving from the blue sky above a town. To busy worrying about falling from the sky, Klonoa didn't have time to get a good look at said town.

"WHAT THE HECK?!" Klonoa loudly question to himself, quickly approaching the ground below him. "WHO'S IDEA WAS IT TO POP ME INTO THE WORLD FROM UP HERE?! WHAT DO THINK I CAN FLY OR SOME- oh wait…" Realizing that he could utilize his enormous ears, Klonoa began to flap them up and down as quickly as he could. His rapid fall easily slowed down into a light flutter. "Silly me", he began to himself, "why didn't I think of that in the first place? He-heh!"

After Klonoa made his decent to the ground, he had begun to take on his surroundings. The young cat-in-a-cap had realized what town it was that he had landed in. "No way!" He exclaimed, "this is…" around Klonoa were several small houses all atop lush grass. Over towering all of them was a windmill with 4 blades on it and a stone tower connected to a mountain with the face of a woman. The most familiar part of this world though: the gentle breeze.

Klonoa smiles as a small tear wells up in his eye. "Breezegale. I'm… home." Klonoa remembered when he left Phantomile, or was taken away from it to be more precise. He remembered saving the world from Ghadius' plan to flood the world with nightmares. He remembered relaxing after the battle had ended. He remembered- "HEWPOE!"

As he remembered his best friend for life, Klonoa made a run for the house they had lived in with his late grandfather. When Klonoa and Hewpoe were resting after there battle against the monster of nightmares, Nahatomb, Hewpoe had broken the truth about Klonoa's life in Breezegale: It was all a lie; just memories given to Klonoa to make it seem real.

I don't care if they're fake. I don't care if my life up to that point has been a lie. It feels real, and Hewpoe is still my friend! Klonoa pledged himself as he scurried to his once-was home.

As he sprinted to his house, a couple of red round creatures with pointed ears attempted to halt Klonoa. These guys. "Outta my way!" Klonoa demanded as he held out his hand, summoning his trusty Wind Ring as it materialised in his hand. This was Klonoa's signature weapon. A beam of green energy resembling that of a sword's blade emanated from the ring. Klonoa continued to run towards them and slashed straight through them. "You're not going to stop me!" Klonoa yelled as more monsters jumped in his way, "I'm gonna see Hewpoe again!" Once again, with one swift slash of his Wind Blade, Klonoa made his way through the wave of monsters. Almost there.

Klonoa had finally arrived in his grandpa's front yard. Klonoa approached the small house with an uneasy feeling. If this is the same Phantomile I thought I grew up in, then grandpa won't be here, Klonoa sadly thought to himself. "But i can't fret on that now!" Klonoa took a slow deep breath in to calm himself down as he entered the house. It had been destroyed when Joker attacked so he could get the Moon Pendant from Klonoa's grandfather, but there friend Balue had helped fix it as thanks for helping save the Moon Kingdoms songstress and Balue' s idol, Lephise.

To say the house was quiet was an understatement. The house felt more dead to Klonoa as he walked through the living room. He saw his grandfather's rocking chair next to the window. To the right of the chair was a small side table with a photo laying face down on it. Klonoa flipped it over to see a picture of him when he was only 8 years old climbing on his beloved grandfather's shoulders. Next to the two was a small round floating spirit with a bright smile on his face. This was Klonoa's best friend, Hewpoe. Has Klonoa let's put a single chuckle, tears start to flow from his eyes. It wasn't long until he was on his knees sobbing. "What I wouldn't do to turn back time",Klonoa told himself still sobbing "why couldn't I get here faster?!"

"Klonoa?!" A voice asked in surprise from behind.

Klonoa turned around to see-"Hewpoe..." Klonoa put on bright smile, now crying years of utter joy, "I'm back!"

End of chapter 1

Klonoa: the shocking revelation!

Hewpoe: Klonoa.. I'm sorry, but the symbol on your hat.. it's not Pacman! Its just Ms. Pacman with the bow broken off and the mouth colored yellow!

Klonoa: That's a lie! Why would grandpa get me Ms Pacman a hat!

Lephise: um, pardon me you two, but aren't there more important things to reveal?

Klonoa: but what could those be? Found next time on Klonoa: Pac-Hatted adventures, Episode 2: the truth about the hat!

Well there we go. The first chapter to my first ever FanFic. It was a little longer than I planned, but I'm proud of it. I tried to go for kind of a Disgaea next episode" kind of thing with the end. Again, please review and feel free to criticize as much as you please.
