Ipamon: And The Draconis Curse/Part Three

Note: The following fanfiction DOES effect Ipamon's storyline. However, it does not alter anything from the actual Patapon franchise. (No AoW related material in this text)

"Uh...Ipamon...?" Hatapon quivered slightly.

"Yes...?" Ipamon replied.

"It's...pretty cold and...foggy." Hatapon stuttered.

For what felt like hours after we embarked, Ipamon and his gang have made barely any progress in finding Taiapon.

So far they were in some sort of extremely misty...dull, dilapidated area...it sure made their eyes fogged up, not to mention dry too.

"Whew...man, is this fog blinding...!" Chin squeezed his eye shut for a brief moment.

"Gah...I know right? I don't know if Taiapon would withstand to lurk here..." Ton coughed.

"Well...doesn't hurt to try, am I right?" Kan dusted his arms and legs.

"...right."

"Alright, guys" Ipamon halted, "let us...split up, so we can have a better chance of finding her."

Kan scratched his head, "Uh...but what if one of us gets lost...?"

"Duh?!" Chin snapped, "We can just holler at each other. I suppose this place is pretty quiet enough...and small."

"Eh...I suppose so. But still"--

"Come on, don't bring your hopes down, Kan!" Ton smiled, "I'm sure we will not get lost, okay? Trust us on that!"

Kan hesitated, "....oh....fine."

All of them split up and went in completely different paths. Hatapon chose one near a waterfall, Ton chose a rock converging path, Chin chose a shallow cliff up ahead, Kan chose a rocky path. Ipamon chose a flat ground with multiple boulders, mostly big ones.

As minutes passed by, Ipamon felt that he was getting more lost as he took each step...

...and the silence made him feel like he wasn't alone...

...in a bad way.

Suddenly...

 *Thud* 

...

 *Thud* 

...

 *Thud* 

Footsteps...

...from what sounded like a Dodonga.

Ipamon readied himself for any monster willing to attack him...

But all he could see was the mist...

...yet he heard the ever-so-menacing stomps...

Ipamon searched the immediate vicinity...but he didn't see anyone...

...then he did...

...And it was one of the most blood-chilling creatures he have ever set his eye upon.



Ipamon's heart nearly skipped a beat upon seeing those blood red eyes. The beast stared dead into his soul...and all the while it sucked all of his psyche as the time went by...

...and Ipamon couldn't help but stare back...in awe...and pure fear.

The beast then slowly stomped towards him...its breathing sounded like thunder, and it's footsteps, like an earthquake. The sound of Ipamon's heartbeat matched the booming steps the monster made as it inched closer...and...closer...

...and closer.

Without any warning...the beast roared at him. The sound of it nearly destroyed his eardrums with such intense pitch. Ipamon couldn't bear it anymore...and before he knew it, his legs made him flee from that monstrosity in the fastest speed he had ever achieved.

But it wasn't any match for the beast, as it ran towards him.

Ipamon panted and sprinted voraciously, and yelled at the top of my lungs...

"HATAPON!!! TON!!! CHIN!!! KAN!!!"

He heard the squad's footsteps coming closer, meaning they were nearby. Eventually they all grouped together.

"What??!? What is it?!?!" Hatapon jumped.

"RUN!!!" Ipamon screamed.

"From what?!?!"

His inquiry was answered by an ear-breaking roar

"AGH! What is that?!?!"

"No time to explain!!! Now come on!" Ipamon panted.

They all ran towards heaped of boulders, through a waterfall, through canyons and hills and lakes...but the beast kept coming towards the squad. All of them trudged and sprinted as fast as their mere legs could take them. But the beast was still gaining momentum...and was just centimetres behind the platoon.

With a powerful huff, the beast primed itself to char the group in flames by breathing a devastating and terrifying red flame...but they dodged it in time.



After a while of sore running..the beast finally gave in and stopped. It stayed back and screamed at the Patapon's direction..as if it was implying that it will get tjem someday. The roar began to slowly fade away as Ipamon and his team were getting father apart from that creature.

"Man...do we have a story to share." Ipamon panted.
