 ==== Part 2, Chapter 1 =====
+Professor Owl struggled to flap his wings, finally returning Brother Hanu to Dreamville.
+The once-prosperous Dreamville lay in a state of disrepair, with ugly sculptures of Boss Stone scattered everywhere. Crocodiles roamed the streets, brazenly causing trouble for the residents...
+They wreaked havoc, destroying the houses that the Origami Birds meticulously built, kicked over Miss Note's splendid stage, gulping down all of Mr Soda's sodas, annd messing around with Old Man Wood's carefully trimmed canopy.
+//"Professor ■■■■, the crocodiles have invaded the Dreamscape."\\
+"Realy...? Well, maybe they've made an unwise choice."//
+Witnessing the chaotic scene, Brother Hanu recalled the time when this place was once the Nightmareville, letting out a *hmph* in fury. He vowed to defeat the villainous Boss Stone despite his diminished size.
+Professor Owl, witnessing his student being bullied, also grew furious. "Hoot-Hoot... We'll teach that cursed Boss Stone a lesson, Brother Hanu! Let me assist you!"
+Professor Owl, soared to the rooftop of the Town Hotel, a location hidden from Boss Stone's view. He hooted, summoning all the Origami Birds in town. These little helpers painted the sky with vibrant colors.
+//"Professor ■■■■, how did you manage to let the Nightingale..."\\
+Hehe, have faith in these youngsters. No one knows about weapons in the Dreamscape better than they do."//
+Boss Stone and his minions were taken aback by the overwhelming number of Origami Birds. They've never seen so many birds.\\
+Professor Owl handed them some secret blueprints, and after reading them, the birds wiped away their tears, regained their spirits, and began working on top of the houses occupied by Boss Stone.
+Before Boss Stone could react, the entire town underwent a transformation thanks to the Origami birds. Mr Soda's bottle shack turned into a formidable cannon, Miss Note's gala cruise became a battle ship, and even Old Man Wood's oak mansion transformed into a wooden dinosaur ready to devour crocodiles.
+//"This is so cool, Professor! We should make more of these in the Dreamscape!"\\
+"... No."//
+Boss Stone and his minions trembled in terror, overwhelmed by the creations of the Origami Birds. They sought refuge inside Town Hotel.
+This caused Professor Owl to worry. The hotel was the most magnificent building in Dreamville and the most profitable business in town. It must not be damaged!
+Seeing the formidable weapons halting at the gate, hesitant to attack, Boss Stone understood the birds' worries and let out a sinister laughter. "Hahaha, you dare not attack me, you stupid birds! Minions, come to me! Toss some lit matches and torch these monsters down to ashes!"
+The crocodiles hurled the ignited matches at the Origami Birds' weapons, reducing them to ashes.
+//"Repelling them in the Dreamscape is just a temporary solution... Even if we defeat the crocodiles here, our firepower disadvantage remains desperate. If we lose the central sector, all the kids in the Dreamscape will be in danger..."\\
+"Don't worry, Professor ■■■■. We still have Hanunue!"//
+Oh, right. Brother Hanu has returned, and he is the protagonist of this tale!\\
+However, with his tiny size, how is Brother Hanu expected to defeat those colossal crocodiles with their fearsome jaws?
+Professor Owl furrowed his brow, the Origami Birds sighed with concern, and even Clockie, transformed into a statue, reflected worry in his eyes. However, Brother Hanu remained resolute, his expression unwavering as he silently advanced toward the hotel.
+//He let out a confident *hmph*!//
 ----
 ==== Part 2, Chapter 2 =====
+//"Most of their forces are probably deployed on the front lines, but they definitely have some troops guarding their main vessel. So, be careful, Hanunue."//
+Hanu infiltrated the hotel unarmed while Boss Stone's minions patrolled the corridors, fearful that someone might steal the treasures amassed by their boss here.
+Thanks to his small stature, Brother Hanu skillfully evaded the villains within the hotel, his eyes scanning for any signs of Boss Stone.
+Upon entering the lobby, Brother Hanu spotted Lieutenant Chitters, Boss Stone's trusted sidekick. Lieutenant Chitters was an even larger crocodile than Boss Stone, creating an impenetrable barrier that not even a mosquito could pass through.
+Before, a single shot from the Hanu Launcher would have dealt with this big oaf. Now, however, Hanu needs to come up with another plan.
+//"I trust in your abilities, but with your current stature, it's best to not go head-to-head with someone in a high-grade IPC battlesuit..."//
+What now?\\
+As Hanu hid atop a storage shelf to brainstorm, Lieutenant Chitters suddenly came walking over.
+"Chit-chit. Hm. I think I smell the scent of a wolf!"
+Confronted with the approaching Lieutenant Chitters, Brother Hanu had no means of evasion. A clash became inevitable!\\
+Bracing himself for the battle, Brother Hanu lunged at Lieutenant Chitters...
+However, Lieutenant Chitters didn't even notice the tiny Brother Hanu and accidentally swallowed him whole in an instant! Had Brother Hanu been devoured?
+//Clamorous sounds of mechanical collisions, roaring, and gunshots.//
+"Chit! I something wrong with my nose?" The dumb crocodile glanced left and right, scratching his head in confusion.\\
+Lieutenant Chitters felt something between his teeth but paid it no mind. After all, this sloppy crocodile never bothered to floss his teeth, and that's how Brother Hanu escaped his jaws.
+Brother Hanu deftly maneuvered between Lieutenant Chitters razor-sharp teeth and made his way through the dangerous mouth, hiding inside a tooth cavity!
+//"I told you not to engage in a head-on clash, Hanunue! You really should have listened!"\\
+"Alright, Professor, we both know his style... Well, now that you're inside the mecha, you won't rouse any suspicion from the guards, and the life support devices contained within will help you address your injuries."//
+With that, Hanu found the best hiding spot.
 ----
 ==== Part 2, Chapter 3 =====
+Brother Hanu managed to stay safe, but simply hiding wouldn't cut it. He had to find Boss Stone and defeat him, or else Dreamville would be taken over by the crocodiles.\\
+However, how could Brother Hanu locate Boss Stone while trapped inside Lieutenant Chitters's tooth cavity?
+Not to worry though: Our cool hero Hanu will always find a way.
+//"Yeah, he always finds a way. After all, he's the head of the Bloodhounds and the legendary rebel who has sparked countless revolutions."//
+Inside Lieutenant Chitters's mouth, Brother Hanu meditated, but the crocodile's terrible breath assaulted his delicate nose. Unable to bear it any longer, he let out a disgusted *hmph*.
+"Chit! Brother Hanu! I heard Brother Hanu's voice!" The *hmph* startled Lieutenant Chitters, who anxiously searched every corner for Brother Hanu but to no avail.
+Watching Lieutenant Chitters's funny reaction, Brother Hanu came up with a brilliant idea! He kept making noises inside Lieutenant Chitters's mouth, confusing the crocodile more and more.
+//"They know someone has infiltrated their capital ship. A portion of their forces are returning to defend."\\
+"Be careful, Hanunue... But I think they won't expect to find you hiding in the armored mechs that are looking for the prisoner."//
+"Chit-Chit! Where are you, Brother Hanu!?" Lieutenant Chitters frantically searched, almost tearing the hotel upside down. He sense Brother Hanu's presence right next to him, but couldn't find that cool dark figure no matter what.
+"Lieutenant! Brother Hanu's voice is coming from you!" Lieutenant Chitters's sidekick noticed the situation and informed the not-so-brainy boss.\\
+"Chit! Could Brother Hanu... be hiding on me!?"
+Lieutenant Chitters stripped himself naked, hoping to find Brother Hanu, but he was still nowhere to be found.\\
+Meanwhile, Brother Hanu continued to make noises in his mouth, pushing Lieutenant Chitters closer to a mental breakdown.
+"Chit! Could it be that Brother Hanu has learned to become invisible? If that's the case, I must report to Boss Stone immeditely!"\\
+In a panicked state, Lieutenant Chitters raced up the stairs while naked. This was all part of Brother Hanu's plan, and soon he would confront Boss Stone with no effort of his own.
+//"The command center is on this floor... You really are a genius, Hanunue."//
 ----
 ==== Part 2, Chapter 4 =====
+"Chit! Boss Stone! Terrible news, chit!"\\
+Lieutenant Chitters burst into the opulent suite, shouting in panic. Boss Stone, still dreaming in his grand bubble bed, was abruptly awakened by the sight of a naked, chubby crocodile standing before him.
+"What are you doing, you idiot!?" Seethed with fury, Boss Stone unleashed a powerful smack of his tail upon Lieutenant Chitters's face, knocking out his teeth.\\
+Brother Hanu, who had been hiding in a tooth cavity, was propelled out as well. Seizing the opportunity, Brother Hanu swiftly found refuge in the corner of Boss Stone's room, ready to strike like a wolf.
+//"The enemy's main forces are returning to reinforce, Hanunue. Are you holding up well?"\\
+A confident *hmph*.//
+"Chit-Chit... Brother Hanu has returned, Boss Stone! And he's become invisible! I only heard his cool *hmph* but couldn't find him anywhere!"\\
+Lieutenant Chitters's mention of the name "Brother Hanu" sent a shiver down Boss Stone's spine. "That cursed Brother Hanu... I see. No, get out of here, and next time, wear your pants before coming to me!"
+After dismissing Lieutenant Chitters, Boss Stone grew increasingly anxious. Although he had shrunk Brother Hanu to a tiny size, he knew that Brother Hanu was still the valiant her of Dreamville!
+Boss Stone unlocked his safe and looked at the Hanu Launcher he had stashed away. He sighed in relief when he thought how Brother Hanu was even smaller now than his own teeth right now.
+"You hear this, Brother Hanu? Even if you've come back, there's no way you can defeat me in your tiny form!" Boss Stone bellowed, believing that Brother Hanu would hear his words... And indeed, Brother Hanu did.
+//"You've found the ammunition warehouse? But even with enough ammunition, you just can't eliminate all these 'crocodiles', can you?"\\
+A disdainful *hmph*.//
+Boss Stone returned to his dreams on his large bed, but uneasiness plagued him. He slept restlessly, as his beautiful dream turned into a nightmare due to that scare.\\
+Emerging from the shadows, Brother Hanu stepped forward and opened the cabinet, which now appeared hundreds of times larger than him. He stepped inside...
+//"What did you say... Wait, Hanunue! No!"\\
+A chuckling *hmph*.//
+The Hanu Launcher was right in front of him. Tiny Brother Hanu struggled to carry the ammunition and load it into the weapon.
+//"Stop it, Hanunue! You can't do that!"\\
+A disapproving *hmph*.//
+The noise from the cabinet awakened Boss Stone once again.\\
+"Could it be... that Brother Hanu is really here?" Fear gripped Boss Stone as he gulped and rose from his bed.\\
+"No fear, my brothers! He's now so tiny that we can crush him in a single bite!" Boss Stone called out to all his fellow crocodiles, all of whom huddled together in the room, near the cabinet...
+//"Don't go, Hanunue... What should I do without you in Penacony...?"\\
+A resigned *hmph*.//
+The crocodiles opened the cabinet, only to be confronted with the dark muzzle of the launcher and tiny Brotoher Hanu standing beside the firing button.
+//"I'm sure you can do it, because you are 'the Watchmaker'."//
+Brother Hanu let out a cool *hmph* and stepped on the firing button.
+//A cool *hmph*.\\
+A deafening explosion, followed by absolute silence.//
+----
+==== Part 3, Chapter 1 ====
+BOOM!
+Brother Hanu's powerful launcher blows Boss Stone away, but it also ignites the fireworks stored within the mansion.\\
+The violent explosion shatters every window in town, toppling several houses. The force of the impact sends the immobile Clockie hurtling into a nearby pond, finally granting him the freedom to move once more!
+"Tick-tock! Brother Hanu! Where are you, Brother Hanu!?"
+Back then, while Clockie was firmly attached to the town square, he still witnessed everything that happened within the town. He saw how Mini-Hanu infiltrated Boss Stone's fortress and witnessed that violent explosion. Not even stopping to pour out the water in his dial, Clockie sprints towards the origin of the explosion...
+Amidst the scattered debris, Clockie discovers nothing more than a small hat.
+//"Hananue... but why? If you don't wake up now, Penacony will..."\\
+"Pull yourself together, 'Watchmaker'. Someone must maintain control of the situation... If a wolf pack suddenly loses its leader, chaos is bound to ensue."//
+The townsfolk cautiously emerge from their hiding places, their curiosity piqued by the abrupt silence that has befallen the streets. All the crocodiles that once roamed the town have vanished, leaving only Clockie amidst the ruins, shedding inconsolable tears.
+"Clockie, Clockie, did you kick Boss Stone's tush?"\\
+"Clockie, Clockie, where has Brother Hanu gone?"
+Clockie understands that the townsfolk seek reassurance now that they have just become free of Boss Stone's terror. And so, this time, Clockie tells them a lie yet again...
+//"Is that true, Mr 'Watchmaker'?"\\
+"Yes. The family head Hanunue sustained grave injuries during the previous defensive battle and will be temporarily unable to fulfill his duties. But rest assured, Hanunue will continue making significant decisions for Penacony."//
+"Tick-tock, don't worry! Brother Hanu has just kicked Boss Stone's derriere and is now resting! It won't be long before you see his **cool** figure in the town once more!"
+Reassured by Clockie's words, everyone casts aside their fears and revels in the grand victory, knowing that they finally kicked out Boss Stone. They believe the terrible big crocodile won't trouble Dreamville again anytime soon after his defeat.\\
+They throw a grand celebration in honor of Brother Hanu, even though he himself is absent. Everyone enjoys a cheerful time... except for Clockie.
+That night, Clockie's mind is burdened with thoughts that keep him awake until the early hours.\\
+In his dreams, Clockie finds himself standing in a vast desert, with Brother Hanu positioned at the far end, gazing up at the sky.
+"Tick-tock! Where have you been, Brother Hanu?"\\
+"Come back to us, Brother Hanu! Dreamville simply can't exist without you!"
+In silence, Brother Hanu only watches as Clockie runs towards him, then gently removes his hat.
+//"Hmph, it's beautiful here, don't you think?\\
+"Yeah, is that why you don't want to wake up?"\\
+"No, the reason I don't want to wake up... is because all of you are sleeping so deeply."\\
+"I..."\\
+"Then come here and rest, 'Watchmaker'. If you lack the courage to face the nightmares, then seek refuge in sweet dreams for now..."//
+//"But remember, as long as this is a dream, you'll have to wake up from it sooner or later."//
+He lets out a really cool sounding *hmph*.
+Then Clockie awakens, his clock face adorned with a tear stain.
+----
+==== Part 3, Chapter 2 ====
+Since Brother Hanu disappeared, Boss Stone has never returned to plague the town. However, he has dishonorably blocked Dreamville's shipping routes. The stones can't be sold to outsiders, and vital resources cannot be shipped in.
+"Clockie, Clockie! We're starving!"\\
+"Clockie, Clockie! Get Brother Hanu to do something!"
+But what can Clockie do if Brother Hanu doesn't come back?\\
+The situation in Dreamville grows more serious each day, and the townsfolk are all urging Clockie to take action. However, no matter how his clock hands spin round and round, he cannot find a better solution.\\
+Soon, Shopkeeper Leaf in town comes up with a terrible idea. He writes a letter to Boss Stone, wanting to tell Stone about Brother Hanu's disappearance — working to dig stones is better than starving to death!
+However, Shopkeeper Leaf's secret is discovered by Leafy, whom he had raised with his own hands. Leafy wastes no time in alerting Clockie and the others.\\
+Shopkeeper Leaf is apprehended, and the furious townsfolk interrogate this traitor, eagerly discussing his punishment.
+//"Esteemed heads of the families, this time we need to discuss how to deal with Lakkika from he Alfalfa Family."\\
+"We have uncovered the truth about the White Desert Incident from before. He must take responsibility for the fall of the Blackplum Family and countless Fruits."\\
+"Heh, perhaps he's also the one who summoned the IPC's fleet here last time."\\
+"Nevertheless, Lakkika's contributions to Penacony cannot be ignored. Therefore, I propose we imprison him..."\\
+"Kill him."\\
+"But..."\\
+"If Hanunue were here, that's what he would do."//
+Everyone said that, if Brother Hanu were here, he would undoubtedly deliver severe punishments to Shopkeeper Leaf!\\
+Clockie originally wishes to spare his former friend, but he cannot go against all the enraged townsfolk. With a heavy heart, he plucks off all the leaves from Shopkeeper Leaf. Leafy takes charge of his father's shop, distributing the delicious leaves to alleviate the hunger of the townsfolk.\\
+However, the leaves are quickly consumed, and the crisis in Dreamville persists. Clockie summons a few companions from the Compass, hoping their collective wisdom will devise a solution.
+//"Fear not. With the guidance of Grandpa Glaux and the knowledge of Remembrance, we shall unravel the secrets of the Dreamscape."//
+Mirror Princess led her Origami Birds into the wilderness to build the land, only to be shattered to pieces by monsters.
+//"Heh, don't worry so much. Family Head Kelbeck and his Lampmoths understand Trailblaze more than you do. Just prepare to add some new routes to his charts."//
+Captain Revolver embarked on an adventure in a dark cave with little butterflies, only to disappear into its abyssal depths.
+In the end, Clockie finds himself alone at the center of Dreamville.\\
+Tears stream down his face once more. "I'm just a crybaby," he laments. "If only I could be Brother Hanu!" He tries to imitate Brother Hanu's *hmph*, but it doesn't sound cool at all.
+"Tick-tock... No, no, if I were Brother Hanu, I wouldn't cry!"
+//"But you're not him. You can't be like him."\\
+"No, I'm not. I must surpass him."//
+From that night forward, Clockie delves into Professor Owl's scrolls, determined to uncover the secrets of the desert. He retrieves Mirror Princess's map, seeking allies who can aid the town. And he grasps Captain Revolver's pistol and begins patrolling the town...
+"Tick-tock. One day, I'll be even cooler than you!"
+In Dreamville's desert, which is about to be explored, a **cool** figure is gazing at the dedicated Clockie and emits a cool "hmph."
+//A cool **hmph**.//
