Hanu's Adventure

Chapter Four Boss Stone had occupied Dreamville and taken over Old Man Wood's mansion. His room was filled to the brim with looted gems. "Dreamville shall be called Stoneville in the future... Wait, the name isn't grand enough. It should be Stone Empire instead, hahaha!" Boss Stone was drooling from his ravenous mouth, so carried away by the rosy picture he painted of the future that he had forgotten about a problem he had yet to solve... Meanwhile, on the border of Dreamville, the hardworking Professor Owl was still engrossed in designing new buildings for the town. Unaware that his past works were being destroyed by Boss Stone, he was leisurely searching for stones suitable to construct houses. "■■■■■■, how are you doing?" "I knew you wouldn't go down with that hunk of repurposed Spheroid trash." Suddenly, Professor Owl came across a moving stone. It piqued his curiosity as he had never seen a stone that could move on its own in his long years of living. He quickly flew over, picked up the stone with his beak, and was surprised by its soft and fluffy texture. As it turned out, it was Hanu! Professor Owl immediately put Hanu down and asked in a puzzled voice, "Cuckoo, how did you turn so small, Hanu? You're even smaller than my students!" Hanu let out a resigned grunt. Professor Owl quickly put two and two together and figured out everything. He lost the shrinking machine he invented during the invasion of the Old Buzzflies, (Note: This story is part of the Clockie & Old Buzzflies animated series. The relevant dream bubble episodes are available for purchase in all major Dreamscapes.) and it might have fallen into the wrong hands, leading to Hanu's transformation. "You're pretty lucky to have crashed into the enemy's main ship." "But I don't think you're fit to fight anymore, judging from your injuries..." "Cuckoo, only a shrinking machine can change you back. If Boss Stone has it, you'll be in hot water..." Even someone as smart as Professor Owl was at his wit's end. However, Hanu didn't see it as an insurmountable problem. If getting back to his original size was the only way to rescue Dreamville, then he would do everything he could to achieve that. If he must defeat Boss Stone in the process, then he would give it his all to achieve it with his petite body! Seeing Hanu's determined eyes behind his sunglasses, Professor Owl knew that Hanu had made up his mind. "Wait. Is he going to execute the plan inside a "crocodile's" abdomen while he's injured? This is outrageous!" "But then again, he's right. We have no other options left." "I've got it, cuckoo. Your courage is impressive! You're truly the hero of Dreamville, cuckoo!" Professor Owl had decided to help Hanu defeat Boss Stone. Firstly, he sent the Origami Birds to investigate Boss Stone's location. Then, he had the birds set up various mechanisms that could give Hanu a boost. When everything was all set, Professor Owl picked up Hanu again. Professor Owl, as well as all the Origami Birds, believed that this light and diminutive figure would rescue Dreamville. "Let's go! I'll help you defeat Boss Stone, cuckoo!" Hanu nodded and flew in the direction of Dreamville with the flock of birds. "I've got it... I'll count on you to carry everyone's dream once again." A firm grunt.
