Chapter 4: Crash-Landing In The World Of Little Red Riding Hood
The landscape was strange-whimsical castles, glowing forests, talking animals in clothes...
But Mike and Heidi were still too busy arguing to notice.
Unbeknownst to them, Nosferatu and his family had already set their plans in motion.
Their goal? Absorb the essence of Fairy Tale Worlds to increase their power.
How? By sending monsters to disrupt each fairy tale's balance, corrupting the land and draining its magical energy.
As Mike and Heidi kept bickering, they transformed into their Warrior forms, each trying to prove who was stronger.
But the sudden surge of energy from their transformations overloaded the spaceship's control system-
BOOM! Their combined spaceship nosedived toward the strange new planet!
Mike: "This is your fault, you clumsy brute!"
Heidi: "MY fault?! Maybe if you weren't showing off with your stupid wand, we wouldn't be crashing!"
CRASH!
The spaceship, miraculously unharmed, skidded into a strange village, causing a cloud of dust to rise.
Mike and Heidi? They fell ON TOP of each other once again.
Mike (disgusted): "GET OFF ME, you walking catastrophe!"
Heidi (furious): "I WOULD IF YOU WEREN'T SUCH A WEAKLING!"
They pushed each other off, stood up, dusted themselves off, and then-
They finally looked around.
Welcome to the World of Little Red Riding Hood!
The village was straight out of a fairy tale-storybook cottages, cheerful villagers, and rolling green hills.
Mike and Heidi were confused but intrigued.
Mike: "Wait... this place... it feels... fictional?"
Heidi: "You don't say, nerd."
Just then, they saw a group of smiling villagers walking toward them.
The women wore traditional hoods.
The children played happily in the fields.
The old folks chatted peacefully on wooden benches.
It felt too peaceful... too perfect.
Mike, ever the charmer, saw a group of young women passing by.
With a smirk, he waved his magic wand and pulled out a potion, conjuring floating blue flames, making them dance in the air.
Mike (flirtatiously): "Ladies, let me dazzle you with my magic~. Its elegante, fantastique. Tu vas adorer."
But before he could fully impress them-
WHACK!
Heidi smacked him with a Frying Pan.
Heidi (annoyed): "We don't have time for your flirting, show-off!"
Mike grumbled, rubbing his head.
Meanwhile, Heidi noticed hungry children and elderly villagers looking tired.
Without thinking, she pulled out her kitchen utensils and began cooking a delicious meal.
The smell of freshly baked bread and warm soup spread through the village.
The children cheered, and the elders thanked her with warm smiles.
Mike (crossing arms): "Are you seriously cooking right now? We're in a serious situation!"
Heidi (fuming): "EXCUSE ME for having a heart!"
Before they could argue further-
A dark, chilling aura swept through the village.
The once-cheerful air suddenly felt heavy... wrong.
The villagers didn't notice, but Mike and Heidi did.
Their instincts kicked in due to the orbs resonating within them.
Heidi (serious): "Something's not right."
Mike (nodding): "I feel it too. There's an evil presence nearby."
They followed the sinister trail, moving deeper into the dense, shadowy forest.
Meanwhile...
Deep within the dark heart of the forest, two ominous figures stood beside a massive, menacing wolf.
These were two mysterious monsters sent by the Vampire Family.
Their goal?
☠️ Make sure the wolf succeeds.
☠️ Corrupt the fairy tale and harvest its magical essence.
☠️ Kill Little Red Riding Hood to permanently break the story.
The wolf let out a sinister growl, his eyes gleaming with unnatural darkness.
Wolf: "That Red Hood girl will never reach her grandmother's house. The story ends TODAY."
The monsters grinned, ready to strike.
Meanwhile, Mike and Heidi... were completely lost.
Heidi (groaning): "This is YOUR fault! You led us in the wrong direction!"
Mike (irritated): "Oh, so the person who cooks all day suddenly knows how to track sinister energy?"
They glared at each other, completely missing the fact that-
They were headed straight for the monster-infested part of the woods.
Despite their endless arguing, Mike and Heidi both had a strong sense of justice.
They both felt the presence of two monsters nearby.
Mike (serious): "I don't know what they're up to, but I KNOW it's bad."
Heidi (determined): "We have to stop them before they destroy this world!"
But...
Instead of working together, they both stubbornly decided to attract the monsters THEIR OWN way.
Mike: Used his wand to create flashing blue lights in the air.
Summoned illusionary creatures to make noise.
Shouted dramatically (in excitement and competitiveness), "Evil beings! Face the GREAT Blue Magician Warrior!"
Heidi: Pulled out her kitchen utensils and began cooking.
The delicious smell of grilled meat and fresh bread filled the air.
"Who cares about flashy tricks? The best way to lure anything is through their stomach!"
They waited
And waited
And waited...
But...
The monsters didn't show up.
Instead, the only thing happening was-
They started quarreling. Again.
???: "You two are hopeless."
A voice came from the trees.
A figure in a grey outfit with green hair jumped down.
Mike and Heidi immediately halted their argument and stared at him in confusion.
Mike: "Who the hell are you?!"
Heidi: "And why do you look like you don't belong in a fairy tale?!"
?? sighed.
??: "I'm Jim. And believe me, I didn't want to be here either."
Jim took a deep breath and began, voice heavy with seriousness.
"After Dark Void's defeat, the Solunar Warriors, Tim and Rei-"
"-Solunar Warriors? Tim and Rei? Who are they? " Mike interrupted, leaning back with his arms crossed.
"And who is this so called Dark Void" Heidi interrupted before Jim could answer.
Jim sighed ignoring them. "Well, the Solunar Warriors are meant to be your predecessors and the orbs you inherited were split from the once evil existence-Dark Void, yet... anyways leave it."
Jim continued after taking a deep breath. "The important fact is the Solunar Warriors, Tim and Rei got the energy signatures of the Orbs from Jeromy, the leader of Celestic Justice-" he continued.
"That's a real name? And wait, he is the leader of Celestic Justice? Well, didn't knew that." Mike muttered acting judgmental.
"Shh." Heidi elbowed him. "It's a cool name."
Jim's eye twitched, but he continued.
"These Orbs were split from Dark Void by Solunar God Solarae, tied to great power-"
"Sounds like a video game cutscene," Mike said under his breath.
"It's a mythological tale, not a game." Heidi said, rolling her eyes.
"Tim and Rei built a tracking device with Henry and Marie to locate them," Jim said, ignoring the bickering.
"They sent me to find the Orbs, and I was getting close when I discovered two people had them-"
"Let me guess," Mike said flatly. "Us."
Jim paused. "...Yes."
Heidi smirked. "Knew it."
"Then I saw both Orbs heading in the same direction. I realized the importance of this, so I accelerated my ship to pursue, convinced you two might be the next generation of Celestic Warriors!"
Mike just stared at him. "You chased us... because of a hunch?"
Heidi's eyes lit up remembering her transformation. "Wait-'next generation'? Like... we got cool powers?"
Jim smiled. "Exactly."
Mike groaned. "Oh great. A responsibility I didn't even ask for."
Jim (grumbling): "And guess what? After finding you two, I had to somehow make the worst decision of my life by clinging on your ship and getting stuck in the Fairy tale universe with stubborn idiots."
Mike and Heidi: "...HEY!"
Jim ignored their complaints and explained.
"I had tracked your spaceship right before you entered the Fairy Universe."
"I still hoped that the newer generation will at least know a way out of the universe, thought you entered intentionally. And guess what? My instincts failed me."
So rather than having respect for them, Jim saw them as two unruly, stubborn kids who couldn't even respect their seniors.
But if situations weren't worse enough, Jim explained. "I also noticed my Grey Warrior powers stopped working right after entering the universe."
Mike(in an ignorant tone): "Oh!"
Heidi(with a yawn): "Yeah, got it."
Jim (with sudden frustration): "So yeah. Thanks to you two, I'm stuck here without my Grey Warrior form. Great job."
Mike (mocking): "Wow. Sounds like a YOU problem and a good made up story." (seeming like understanding everything but in reality not understanding much)
Heidi (crossing arms): "Also, we didn't ask for a babysitter." (It was obvious she was not even trying to understand)
Jim rubbed his temples. "This is gonna be harder than I thought..."
They turned their backs on Jim as they continued what they were doing.
Jim noticed their foolish attempts to lure the monsters.
He immediately facepalmed.
Jim: "Okay, LISTEN. You BOTH have good ideas, but alone? They're useless."
Mike and Heidi glared at him.
Jim (ignoring them): "Here's how we make it work-"
1. Mike uses magic to find rare ingredients hidden in the environment.
2. Heidi cooks an even better meal with those ingredients.
3. Mike then uses his magic to spread the aroma of the food over a large area.
Mike and Heidi: "..."
They did NOT like Jim's plan... mainly because they hated working together.
Mike (grumbling): "Why should I waste my magic on some dumb ingredients?"
Heidi (folding arms): "And why should I cook based on YOUR magic tricks?"
Jim (sighing): "Because if you don't, the monsters won't come, and this entire planet will be doomed?"
Mike & Heidi: "..."
They begrudgingly agreed to execute the plan(with free complaints):-
Step 1: Finding Ingredients
Mike used his magic to scan the forest.
With a flick of his wand combined with his tracking potion, glowing blue mushrooms and rare golden herbs emerged from the ground.
Mike (smug): "See? Magic solves everything."
Heidi (rolling eyes): "Yeah, yeah, just hand them over."
Step 2: Cooking the Ultimate Meal
Heidi, with her enhanced strength and skill, began cooking.
The flames danced as she grilled magical meat.
The golden herbs added an irresistible aroma.
The blue mushrooms glowed softly, enhancing the flavors.
Even Jim was impressed.
Jim: "Okay, I won't lie. That smells amazing."
Mike huffed. "Still not as amazing as my magic."
Heidi (mocking): "Yeah? Try eating raw magic, then."
Step 3: Spreading the Aroma
Mike used his wand to summon a gentle wind, carrying the delicious smell across the entire forest.
The trap was set. Now, all they had to do was wait and Jim's role was to pray that they don't shift back to their endless argument.
Then, within a few minutes...
The plan worked... almost TOO well.
Instead of the monsters coming first-
The Wolf himself smelled the food and came running out of the forest, drooling!
Wolf: "FOOOOOD!"
The monsters, who were trying to control the Wolf, were powerless to stop him.
Monster 1 (panicking): "Hey! Where are you going?!"
Monster 2 (frustrated): "That's not part of the plan!"
But it was too late.
The Wolf charged ahead-and dragged the two monsters along with him!
