## Summary

Tom and Jerry arrived to an otherworld and began their Next World Adventure!

Because of their strange arrival, they were regarded as an "ominous omen", which led to their capture by a group of paladins. When they were spending their days in their prison cells, they overheard the history of the place they are in - Star Continent.

It once suffered an "Incomparable Dark Disaster", forcing the Twin Gods of Light and Night to use all their powers to stop the Darkness from spreading and damaging the world, which drained all the vitality in the Tree of Life, causing it to fall to a deep slumber. A recent "change" in the Tree of Life sparked some curiousness of various races.

The chosen Dragon Knight in the Dragon Wing Tribe helped Tom and Jerry escape from the dungeon. He carried on the task of the Wiseman, who was known to give prophecies that will always come true in the future.

When they "first" met the Wiseman, also known as the Fairy Godmother, Tom and Jerry were surprised to see her say "Long time no see", despite it was their first encounter. Fairy Godmother only told them that their questions will soon be answered eventually, and gave them three a task, to restore the vitality the Tree of Life (also known as the Star Tree), and to awaken it by gathering the four elements. Fairy Godmother was also aware of their former identities as the Mouse King and Erlang Shen when they were in another world in Sky Palace, much to their shock.

When Tom and Jerry were still feeling listless and unsure in their adventure, they were motivated by Topo Dragon Knight, who told them his own story of training when he was still "weak" in a mysterious space, and suggested them to go with him, since they might be able to go home after everything. After a few days of spending time together, they embarked on the journey, after receiving the Star Element (represents wisdom) from Fairy Godmother.

Along the way, they also received the Earth Element (represents protection), the Wood Element (represents life), and finally the Fire Element (represents violence), by the help of Archmage, Flower Fairy, and Fairy Godmother. The Star Tree was finally awake.

At the end, Fairy Godmother was speaking to a group of people, also wishing them success on something.

## Story

### Prologue

Bidding farewell to the rainy days that lasted for more than half a month, the Star Continent finally welcomes the long-lost sunny days. As the sun shines on Earth, everything is full of vitality~

In the moat outside the main city, a flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky. Along with the lightning, a magic circle appeared, and a huge fireball flew out of the magic circle, falling into a lake, disrupting the original tranquility.

Two wet figures swam ashore, and it turned out to be Tom and Jerry who were celebrating their birthdays with his friends in the castle at the seaside. Just when they were about to leave to find a way out, a group of paladins surrounded them, brought them back to the castle, and put them in a dungeon.

### Volume One

#### Volume One・1-1

* **A claustrophobic dungeon can be a blessing or a curse.**

In the dark dungeon, the walls and ground are covered with moss and mold. Only a faint light illuminates the stone walls. Tight iron gates and chains isolate the dungeon from the outside world. The tall walls and deep trenches form a natural barrier. No one can escape from here.

During the days when Tom and Jerry were locked in the dungeon, they heard some news about the outside world from the cell guards. It turned out that this continent was called the Star Continent. Legend had it that the Star Continent once suffered an "Incomparable Dark Disaster", and countless lives were lost due to it. Just when all living beings were in despair, the Twin Gods of Light and Night sacrificed themselves to the Tree of Life, and it was able to unleash all its power to protect the world. The Twin Gods' whereabouts have been lost, and the Tree of Life has fallen to a deep slumber.

A hundred years ago, the priest of the Dragon Wing Tribe received an oracle, and the young patriarch of the tribe became the only Dragon Knight for thousands of years. Then the Tree of Life, which had been in a deep slumber for thousands of years in the center of the Magic Forest, changed. The races of gods, beasts, vampires, demons, and humans gathered together to try to unravel the cause of the change.

Because Tom and Jerry fell from the sky, they were naturally regarded as an "ominous omen" from the otherworld. As of now, all the people are discussing how to deal with Tom and Jerry. Tom and Jerry knew that they must leave the dungeon immediately, otherwise...

Just when Tom and Jerry were at a loss, there was a sudden vibration around, a light appeared above the dark dungeon, and a huge creature flew down from the sky, taking Tom and Jerry away from the dungeon and flew far away.

#### Volume One・1-2

* **Dragon Knight? Wiseman?**

The sky was clear, the dragon flying above the clouds, and the boy in the knight attire looked at Tom and Jerry with probing eyes.

Thinking of the news they had inquired from the guards, Tom and Jerry glanced at each other, and had some guesses about the identity of the boy in front of them. "Dragon Knight - Topo".

Why did the only Dragon Knight on this continent come to rescue them? And who is this Wiseman? With these questions, Tom and Jerry looked at the boy in front of them with bewilderment and a hint of defensiveness.

Topo admired this Wiseman very much. He always praised how talented this Wiseman was, and how they made outstanding contributions to the Star Continent. Tom and Jerry also hope that this Wiseman can answer their doubts and tell them the way to go back home.
After a long flight, a smear of green appeared at the junction of the sky and ground. When flying closer to the ground, the endless woods went past their eyes. In this area filled with lush green, a particular treehouse seemed to be surrounded by the woods, quietly sitting in the middle. On the top terrace of the treehouse, a petite figure looked in the direction they flew.

#### Volume One・1-3

* **There seems to be something deeper in Wiseman's words?**

She has a petite figure and a lively and lovely dress. Tom and Jerry looked at the girl in front of them, but they couldn't connect her with the identity of a Wiseman. Tom and Jerry imagined a Wiseman would be an old man with a long beard.

Long time... no see? What is she talking about? Tom and Jerry glanced at each other, but it's clear that they have just come to this world not long ago, so why did she say "Long time no see"?

Tom and Jerry hoped that Fairy Godmother could tell them how to go back home, but she just smiled and something to them.

Tom and Jerry wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Fairy Godmother.

#### Volume One・1-4

* **The origin behind everything - the Tree of Life.**

Following Fairy Godmother, they came to a mural in the Treehouse. Fairy Godmother waved with her magic wand, and the mural turned into a teleportation circle. They passed through the circle and arrived to a mysterious space.

In this place, a towering tree rises from the ground. At the end of each cluster of the branches and leaves is clusters of galaxies. The galaxies are like leaves that have gone through four seasons, from budding to withering. Every moment of breathing, the tree would go though a cycle. However, amidst this vitality, a group of black shadows are always attached to the roots of the trunk. No matter how many reincarnations they experience, the shadows are like a gangrene attached to the bone entangled with the tree.

Looking at the Tree of Life in front of him, Jerry couldn't help poking it with his hand, but he poked through it. It was actually just an illusion.

Tom couldn't help asking Fairy Godmother.

*Now that thousands of years have passed, the powers of the Twin Gods have gradually declined, and the shadows' pressure on the Tree of Life has become stronger and stronger. If the shadows cannot be completely eradicated, then...*

#### Volume One・1-5

* **Are we the chosen ones?**

Tom and Jerry said in puzzlement.

This magical experience is only experienced by Tom and Jerry, and they didn't tell anyone else. How did Fairy Godmother know?

Hearing this, Tom and Jerry became even more curious, and when they wanted to continue questioning Fairy Godmother, she said something else.

When the disaster came that year, the Star Continent was also devastated. It was the branches of the Tree of Life in the Star Continent that overdrawn its power and formed a protective barrier to protect it. Now, the power of the enchantment is getting weaker and weaker, and the branches are gradually withering.

### Volume Two

#### Volume Two・2-1

* **The past of Dragon Knight.**

The Magic Treehouse at night is really quiet. The moonlight and starlight are intertwined in the sky. There were some faint noises caused by insects around, and flower petals are gently blown by the evening wind, making the hot summer quite peaceful.

Tom and Jerry stood in front of the terrace and looked into the distance, as if hoping to see a familiar home. Just when they were in a daze, there were sounds of footsteps behind them, and they turned around to find that it was Topo.

Jerry turned his head, put his hands on the railing, and sighed softly. Tom patted Jerry on the head and leaned against the railing.

Jerry was slightly worried, and Tom also looked a little listless. Topo thought for a while, and seemed to think of something.

*If you're worried that your strength is not enough, you can ask the Wiseman to enter a mysterious space for individual training.*

#### Volume Two・2-2

* **Why us?**

Fairy Godmother looked at Tom and Jerry who are worried and smiled lightly. She got up and walked over to them.

Tom and Jerry glanced at each other, took a deep breath, stepped forward together, and told Fairy Godmother their confusion -

Tom and Jerry were even more confused. What does this have to do with us in the future?

*Fate is so powerful, it can make us go to different places at different times, but it eventually brings us together in the end.*
W*ell, it's getting late, you two should rest here for a few days, then we will be off. May you all have a wonderful dream under the blessing of the Dream Fairy.*

#### Volume Two・2-3

* **A fairy in a legend.**

Early the next morning, Tom and Jerry, led by Topo, went to a nearby woods for a picnic.

Tom and Jerry were interested in this topic.

*One day, I arrived at Wiseman's training at night. Feeling bored, I sneaked into the woods alone, and then I got lost. Just when I thought I couldn't go back, there was a pink and cute fairy who appeared from the flowers, and pointing out the direction to the exit of the forest.*

Tom and Jerry were yearning to see these beautiful legendary beings after hearing this. Unfortunately, the three of them waited in the forest all night but didn't witness any.

#### Volume Two・2-4

* **No matter what lies head, there're always friends by your side. No matter how difficult it is, anything can be solved.**

Seeing that the day of departure is getting closer and closer, Tom and Jerry have also become more calm from the restlessness than before. Perhaps it was what Fairy Godmother had said at the time, or perhaps it was Topo's recent company that gave them a certain courage and confidence in their adventure.

No matter what lies head, there're always friends by your side. No matter how difficult it is, anything can be solved.

Recently, Fairy Godmother seems to be busier than usual. She would always stay next to the Tree of Life every day, muttering words from time to time, as if she is casting a spell.

#### Volume Two・2-5

* **The blessings from Fairy Godmother.**

Soon, it was the day of departure.

Fairy Godmother lightly waved her magic wand, the starlights from the magic wand enveloped Tom, Jerry, and Topo, and each star entered their bodies.

*A saying goes "How far you may go, departure is still inevitable." The road ahead depends entirely on you.*

### Volume Three

#### Volume Three・3-1

* **Dragon Knight's hometown.**

The first stop is Topo's hometown - Dragon Wing Tribe. The Earth Element is sealed here. A huge dragon skeleton can be seen from a distance, even before arriving at the tribe. The huge dragon skeleton is entrenched on the outskirts of the tribe. If someone with ill intentions dare to invade the Dragon Wing Tribe, they will face the wrath of the townspeople. What greeted them was the priest of the tribe - Archmage.

[**Salutes**]

#### Volume Three・3-2

* **This ceremony is no place to mess with.**

After dinner, the priest sent someone to invite Tom, Jerry, and Topo to the tent in the center. The three came to the tent, and the priest was looking at the map that is in front of him, seemingly thinking about something.

When the priest said this, everyone was a little puzzled.

#### Volume Three・3-3

* **Are you really the chosen ones?**

*The Earth Element represents protection, and it fell into the dragon skeleton of the Dragon Wing tribe. Therefore, the warriors of the Dragon Wing Tribe have the opportunity to become Dragon Knights.*
*The Wood Element represents life, and it fell into a valley, where it has become a green field full of vitality.*
*The Fire Element represents violence. Because its power is too strong, no one can control it, so it is sealed under the Star Tree. In the Magic Forest, the monsters there have become extremely aggressive and hostile.*
*The Star Elements represent wisdom. It is said that it is kept by the Wisemen from generation to generation, so each generation of Wisemen is the embodiment of great wisdom. According to the legend, they will only make three prophecies in their lives, and each prophecy means the future trend. These prophecies have always came true, and not a single failed.*
*The prophecy of this generation is "The Darkness' arrival will envelop the world, and only the otherworldly heroes can dispel them." Topo was selected and became a Dragon Knight because of the Wiseman's decision.*
*Look at me, you otherworldly people* [**his eyes are fixed on Tom and Jerry, seemingly through their souls**]*. Are you really the chosen ones?*

#### Volume Three・3-4

* **Only if you show your strengths, can I show my faith.**

Tom and Jerry didn't know how to answer the priest's question, and at this moment a faint starlight appeared on Tom and Jerry.

#### Volume Three・3-5

* **It's the Earth Element.**

At the dragon skeleton, khaki streamers flash from the inside of the skeleton from time to time.

Tom followed Jerry's thoughts and went on.

Tom and Jerry encouraged Topo to try it. Topo thought for a while. The worst result is failure, what if it succeeds? In order to avoid any accidents when approaching the dragon skeleton, Topo asked Tom and Jerry to stand in a safe place and allow him to face it alone.

Topo took a deep breath, and his troubled heart suddenly became calm. He seemed to have returned to the time when he was facing the challenge of the Dragon. It was the same as that day, and he walked into the Dragon Valley alone. The dragon's scorching breaths rushed toward his face. After passing one level after another in Dragon Valley, he faced the final step that was about to succeed. He was neither proud nor particularly emotional.

Just like the usual trials in the mysterious space, he took off the medal of honor, and then left Dragon Valley peacefully, finally becoming the only Dragon Knight in thousands of years.

When Topo broke away from his own thoughts, there was a khaki light ball on his hand, which was rubbing against his palm intimately.

### Volume Four

#### Volume Four・4-1

* **Onto the next destination.**

It has been several days since he obtained the Earth Element and was recognized by the dragon skeleton, but Topo still feels like he was just dreaming. Due to time constraints, they must set off immediately to the Green Mountains to find the last element - the Wood Element.

Before leaving, the priest did not come to see them off but sent a letter from Mr. Rabbit. In the letter, the priest recognized Topo's growth, and hoped that he would come back to inherit the Dragon Wing Tribe after this journey. At the same time, he also blessed the adventurers, hoping that Tom and Jerry can return to their home as they wish.

#### Volume Four・4-2

* **The Nth day of being trapped...**

The three adventurers have been walking in the Green Mountains for many days. The trees and mountains cover the sky. After walking for a long time, they found out that they had returned to the place they had walked.

Tom, Jerry, and Topo analyzed while resting: The Wood Element represents life, and this place is full of vitality. Presumably there must be creatures guarding the Wood Element. Now that they are trapped here, the creatures in the forest must think that they are here to harm and snatch the Wood Element. Maybe they can find the creature that protects the Wood Element and talk to them to solve the current predicament.

Just when the three were at a loss, a young man emerged from the grass not far away, and the three looked at the young man vigilantly.

#### Volume Four・4-3

* **It's you?**

The three looked at each other and thought, there are no other choices at the moment anyway, so even if he's really a fraud, they still have the power given by Fairy Godmother to avoid danger. Why not just follow him and find out?

Following Spirit of Reed, the three of them walked through a forest and came to a castle. The castle is based on an ancient tree, on which the creative fairies have built wonderful rooms. They climbed up step by step, walking through a long aisle, and finally arriving to the hall. A cute fairy flew down from the high flower throne.

#### Volume Four・4-4

* **A gift from the Flower Fairy.**

It turns out that the fairy Topo met when he was a child is the Queen Fairy of the Green Mountains today. At that time, the Queen Fairy was just born, and she sneaked out while everyone in the castle was not paying attention. As a result, she got lost.

Topo always thought that the Queen Fairy helped him find the way back, but in fact, Topo is the one that helped the Queen Fairy find Fairy Godmother, then found his way home.

#### Volume Four・4-5

* **The awakened Star Tree.**

At the end of Newborn's Day, the Flower Fairy kept her promise and gave them the Wood Element. The adventurers finally came to the last stop, the Magic Forest.

As soon as they entered the Magic Forest, the three of them were besieged by monsters. While fighting, the three rushed to the center of the forest. Due to the monsters' ferocity caused by the power of the Fire Element, the three of them gradually became weak after attacking.

Tom thought of what Fairy Godmother had told them, that the blessings bestowed on them could help them. So the three of them used Fairy Godmother's blessing power, a huge magic circle appeared in midair, and several figures walked out of the magic circle. With everyone's concerted efforts, the adventurers finally got the Fire Element.

When all the four elements gathered together, the magic circle at the root of the Star Tree is activated. A huge power gathered here and the Star Tree has finally been awakened. A tall and straight trunk rises from the ground and the treetop changes from dead branches to dense branches in an instant, covered with star-shaped flowers.

The abundant power started from the Star Tree and spread rapidly to the surroundings. The people in the Star Continent were influenced by this power, and all their illnesses were healed. The former stagnant realm was also improved.

On the terrace of the Magic Treehouse, Fairy Godmother looks into the distance.

In a mysterious space, a stream of light flashed around the Tree of Life, and a shadow disappeared into the darkness.

## Trivia

* In dialogue boxes, Fairy Godmother is in her A class skin Magical Winter Night, but in *A New Adventure*, it is her default skin.

* Although Lights of Dawn and Blazing Feathers were mentioned as the Twin Gods of Light and Night and were part of the story, they do not have any dialogues.

* The figures that walked out from the magic circle is a reference to the Star Companions (Gym Cat Tom and Gym Rat Jerry) in the game mode Multi Brawl, and this was used as a hint before the game mode's debut.

* The "Incomparable Dark Disaster" is also related to Devil Tom's background story, and the similar result of someone's sacrifice by falling to a deep slumber in order to protect the people from the Darkness' spreading.

* Celeste and Chubby's fates are unknown in Journey in Pictures. Following Tom and Jerry's adventure in this sequel, it's assumed that they're also in this same dimension.
