Chapter 1/Episode

# **Chapter 1 - Garden of the Sprites**

## Green, Green World

***The World Flipper launches Alk and co. to a verdant forest, rich in flora. However, the scenery is unfamiliar to Light, who doesn't recognize this world as his own. They don't have much time to dwell on it, however, as a monster strikes from the shrubbery.***

*Our heroes warped and landed in the middle of lush forest*

**Alk:** Where are we?

**Alk:** It smells like grass here... We're really in another world!

**Light:** (\*looks around\*) Yes, well... This isn't my world. And what is that supposed to be?

*They all turn around to see a huge tree*

**Alk:** Some sort of tree, right? But it's awfully, uh, huge, isn't it?

**Light:** It's branches seem to reach the heavens themselves - I've not seen anything like this before.

**Light:** Just where have you taken-

**Stella:** There's been an unexpected development. The coordinates are missing.

**Alk:** Huh?

**Stella:** I am unable to determine this world's location nor the system it belongs to.

**Stella:** In other words, it appears we are lost.

**Alk:** Seriously?

*Light notice something nearby*

**Light:** Stay Sharp - something's coming this way!

*The bush rustles as enemies jump out of it in front of them, engaging battle*

## The Journey Begins

***Lost in the woods, the party begins searching for their key to another world—the World Flipper. According to Stella, all worlds contain one. Before they can begin their search, however, Stella get distracted by a strange mushroom creature.***

**Alk:** Take this!

*Alk vanquished the remaining enemies*

**Light:** Phew... That looks like the last of them.

**Light:** You're quite capable with a sword. How long have you trained?

**Alk:** Heh-heh, you think so? Truth is, I can't even remember where I learned to use one.

**Light:** Strange... ...And Stella, did you not transport us here? How can you not know where we are?

*Stella is speechless. She tries to locate the coordinates again but fails*

**Stella:** I am yet unable to obtain this world's coordinates.

**Stella:** Information on this world is also unavailable. At present, there is no way of confirming our location.

**Light:** Can we leave this world?

**Stella:** That would require finding the World Flipper.

**Stella:** If we gain access, it might also tell us why our coordinates have gone missing.

**Alk:** You mean there's one here too?

**Stella:** Yes. A World Flipper exists in every world.

**Stella:** Our odds of finding one are higher if we search places with significance persisting from ancient times, such as temples or sacred ruins.
**Light:** So our best bet would be-

**Alk:** Pretty obvious right?

**Light:** I sense a great power from that tree... I do not think it's anything ordinary.

**Light:** \*sigh\* This is all uncharted territory.

**Light:** It may be perilous, so steel yourselves. Who knows what awaits us within those gnarled-

*Alk looks around and notices Stella is missing*

**Alk:** H-hold on a second. Where's Stella?

???: Challua!

*Stella is spotted in the distance looking at a sentient mushroom*

???: Challuaaaa...

**Stella:** Greetings, little mushroom. Can you tell me about the World Flipper?

**Alk:** (\*catching up to Stella\*) Whoa, a talking mushroom! Am I... okay?

**Stella:** Don't be afraid...

*The mushroom runs away*

**Stella:** The mushroom has escaped. I will go find it.

*Stella chased after the mushroom*

**Alk:** She oughta be more careful...

**Light:** Alk, Knight of Starview. Tell me... Who is that girl?

**Alk:** Hard to say, honestly, Stella doesn't seem to know much about herself either.

**Light:** What do you mean , "either"?

**Alk:** I mean, she isn't the only one. You see, the both of us... We've lost our memories.

**Light:** Your memories?!

**Alk:** But I know Stella's definitely not a bad person.

**Alk:** (\*chases after Stella\*) Oh, and another thing - you can just call me Alk!

**Light:** Time is pressing. I have no choice but to trust them , for now.

## Mushroom Meltdown

***The group follows the mushroom creature and finds it surrounded by monsters. Alk and Light leap into action to save it from danger.***

END EPISODE

## Forest Sprites

***The mushroom's name is Shroombo, a forest sprite in search of his friend, Challua. When the group find Challua, her body appeared to be withered and lifeless, but with a little water and sunlight, she's good as new. The friendly reunion is cut short when another monster strikes from the skies.***

END EPISODE

## Challua's Friend

***Alk is about to finish the owl monster off when Challua stops him, claiming that he's a friend. She leads the group to find refuge in a grove, where they set up camp for the night. When Challua reveals that she plans on going to the Spirit Tree to find someone, the group decides to accompany her.***

END EPISODE

## The Spirit Tree

***When the group make it to the Spirit Tree, Light senses a mysterious miasma eminating from it. Alk and the others brace themselves for whatever awaits them inside.***

END EPISODE

## Anomaly

***As suspected, the World Flipper is discovered inside the Spirit Tree. However, before Alk can get near its flippers, roots sprout from beneath the ground, attacking him. Challua managed to save him, but the miasma continues to grow even stronger as another monster attacks.***

END EPISODE

## Emissary From the Dark

***Before the group can catch their breath after taking out the tree monster, the cause of miasma appears before them—Regitare, the Undead Lord.***

END EPISODE

## Undead Lord

***Try as they might, Alk and the others cannot seem to keep Regitare subdued. But when Stella activates the World Flipper, he regains his senses and stops his onslaught—much to Challua's pleasure. With the World Flipper activated, Stella is able to access this world's coordinates for future travel.***

END EPISODE

## A World Connected

***Regitare explains that he had no control over his actions after touching the corrupted World Flipper. Light considers the relation between this and his battle with the Lord of Shadow. Unfortunately, his homeworld is still nowhere in sight. Challua and Stella make a promise to see each other again, and the group plunges into their next destination.***
