Ipamon: And The Draconis Curse/Part Two

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)

--- Ipamon jolted up from bed.

"Oh...it's just a nightmare...hehe...," He muttered, "...r-right Taiapon?"

...

Ipamon turned to face the other side of the bed where she sleeps...

...she wasn't there.

"Taiapon?"

Ipamon left the bed and began getting worried.

"Taia?! Where are you?! Taiapon?!?!"

Ipamon began looking through every nook and cranny one each level of the house...but she wasn't anywhere in the house.

"Taia?! Taiapon!!?!? Where are you?!?!" Ipamon cried, desperately looking for his best friend, with major worry and stress filling his entire grey matter up.

He desperately looked everywhere in the house...but she wasn't found. He frantically searched around the outside of their house, she wasn't there either. He even went far enough to look EVERYWHERE in Patapolis...and even then, she wasn't anywhere there. He checked the house again...still not there.

Ipamon was sweating...and thinking about what to do next...

"...I need to find her." Ipamon muttered, "But...how...?"

Then an idea glowed inside his cranium.

"...that's it...!"

And with that, he ran off to the distance...to the outskirts of Patapolis.

~ ~ ~ ~

Upon arriving here...he spotted two familiar Patapons conversing with each other.

"Just the people I need." Ipamon thought.

Ipamon sprinted towards the two...

"Princess! Yarida!" He cried.

The two said people heard and faced him.



"Oh! Ipamon! H-hello!!" Princess cheerfully greeted.

"Hey, Ip! How is it going?!" Yarida chuckled.

Ipamon was in no mood for joy right now, "So...what are you two doing...?"

Princess faced Yarida, then back at Ipamon, "Oh us? Hmhmhm. We're just...discussing on making arrangements for Patapolis that might benefit our tribe, that's all." She smiled.

"Hey...are you okay! What's the matter?" Yarida cocked his head sideways.

Ipamon closed his eye, let out a deep sigh, and opened his eye again....

"Taiapon...is missing."

Princess' eye contracted.

"...w-wait...she's m-m-missing....?" She stuttered.

Ipamon nodded.

"A-are you sure you didn't check e-everywhere in your house--"

"I did" Ipamon confirmed.

"Or...e-even Patapolis itself...?---"

"I did too."

"Um...how about you just wait in one spot you two are familiar with? Maybe while you were running around, she was running around too?"--

"No, Princess, Taiapon would usually be back at our home if the two of us accidentally split up. I would, too, and I did when I searched for her...but she wasn't back."

Princess closed her eye, seeming to be in deep thought...

Yarida sighed.

Ipamon adjusted his sleeves, "So...can you help me...find her? She might be...obviously outside of Patapolis."

Princess opened her eye once more, "...Of course" She quietly spoke with a faint smile.

Ipamon brightened up, "Oh thank you so much! Are y-you going to come with me?"--

"Not exactly" Princess cut him off.

Ipamon stayed quiet.

"We...still, um, have some things to do to manage this city. Priestess Meden is actual expecting us to make a solution just about now," Princess sighed.

Ipamon looked down, "Oh..I see...."

Yarida then came up with his own idea.

"Wait...I know what I can do for you!" He spoke up.

Ipamon looked at him.

"How about...I give you my platoon?" Yarida suggested.

"Hm?"

"Oh you know, Ton, Chin, Kan and Hatapon! My legendary squad!' How about that, huh?" He grinned.

Ipamon's face brightened up, "Really...? You would trust me with them?"

"If I didn't trust you, would I note this offer?" Yarida smiled.

Ipamon hesitated, then jumped, "Oh thank you so much! That would be wonderful! Where are they, exactly?!"

"If I remember, they usually are at the Guard Barracks over there" Yarida pointed, "All they do is just talk and horse around, really. Now you better get them before the move!"

'Of course of course! Thank you once again!" Ipamon shook Yarida's hand and headed off...

"Hehehe,,,you're welcome." Yarida muttered. Princess grinned as well.

~ ~ ~ ~ "Perfect" Ipamon muttered, 'Hey guys!"

Ipamon arrived at the Barracks Yarida mentioned, and the squad, indeed, was there.

Hatapon noticed Ipamon and jumped up and down, "Ooh ooh ooh!! Hey guys! Look it's Ipamon!" He cried and pointed.

Ton, Chin and Kan heard him and looked at the direction he was pointing at.

"Hey Ip!" They said in unison.

"Haha! Long time no see!" Ton smiled.

"Yeah! Say, what are you--" Chin spoke before he was cut off.

"Hello. No time to chat" Ipamon panted, "look...I need your help...T-Taiapon had gone missing and I can't find her anywhere in Patapolis, w-would you mind helping me find her?"

The gang looked at each other, then back at him.

"Wait...who's Taiapoj again?" Kan inquired before Chin hit him.

"You idiot. It's his girlfriend!" Chin snapped.

"Woah woah woah, guys, no. Taiapon is just his....best, friend, that's all." Ton chuckled.

"You got it right nonetheless." Ipamon replied, "N-Now...will you help m-me fine her...?"

The gang nodded in agreement, and Hatapon spoke up, "Alright, Ipamon, we'll help you. Now...where exactly are we going...?"

Ipamon was in deep thought...he couldn't say where to go precisely because she could be anywhere...

"Well...maybe let's just have Almighty guide us. Alright?" Ipamon asked.

The gang too hesitated, then they still happily nodded.

"Alright then, Ip. Lead the way!" Hatapon jumped, waving his flag.

"Ah thank you such much! Guys! Now...come on, I've got an idea!" Ipamon ran.

"Woah hey! W-wait up!" Ton cried. The gang followed Ipamon...

"I hope she would be here..." Ipamon said under his breath.
