Full Story (Unfinished)
Klonoa is floating through the endless darkness, until he hears and sees the silhouette of an unknown person repeatedly telling "Help me..." from a distance. Klonoa reawakens and then falls upon a mysterious sea and back into the light, ending up in the Sea of Tears of Lunatea. Klonoa fell unconscious again however, and ends up drifting at the shore. Leorina and Tat spot the unconscious Dream Traveler in the sea from their airplane. But just as they want to grab him for themselves, Popka yells into the distance towards Klonoa's direction from near the rocks with Lolo looking near him as well. Leorina and Tat decide to not risk taking him and head off into the distance.

As Klonoa finally wakes up, he's immediately greeted by Popka and Lolo up close onto the rocks. With no time to waste due to where they are, the three head off to the Giant Bell seen in the distance. Klonoa is asked to shoot the Wind Bullet at the bell, to which it rings. Lolo is so happy to know it actually rang and that they should head off to Baguji soon. Still not knowing where Klonoa exactly is, he asks who Baguji is. Popka states they will head off to Baguji, the best prophet of Lunatea.

When arriving at Baguji's island inbetween all the kingdoms of Lunatea, he reveals that a menacing fifth bell will arrive in their world, and that Klonoa needs to ring all the four bells around the world to get their elements: One in La-Lakoosha, one in Joilant, one in Volk and one in Mira-Mira. Lolo still needs to become a full priestess, but Baguji asks if she could accompany Klonoa on his journey anyway... Which he thinks a moment about, but agrees on. So then they make their way over to the Claire Moa Temple in La-Lakoosha as she becomes a full priestess, Klonoa congratulates her, and then head up to the tower a bit further up the north where the first element resides... to which the two "Sky Pirates" Leorina and Tat return to get right back at the Dream Traveler. They try to steal his Wind Ring, to which Lolo stands in their way, saying they will never get their hands on it. Leorina then summons forth a monster to do the fighting for her... but Klonoa manages to beat it. They think the Dream Traveler is "interesting" and they then introduce themselves, as does Klonoa to them. The sky pirates flee off into the distance claiming they'll cross paths again soon. Meanwhile Klonoa obtains his first element, Tranquility... But Klonoa then gains a short vision in his mind, where he once again hears that same voice that he heard when first arriving in Lunatea, calling for help again... Klonoa then snaps back to it, but doesn't know what to do with it.

Afterwards, they head back to Baguji and discover that Joilant has just opened up. They head there directly for the element while in search of it at the plaza, but then Tat steals it and splits into two halves. Popka rents an Air Board for Klonoa to use at the Jungle Slider to chase Tat on the waters, to which Klonoa confirms that he cannot swim at all. Afterwards when catching up, Tat calls Klonoa "pesky" to which Lolo replies back that it doesn't matter and she likes him just fine. Klonoa is confused to hear this but Lolo tries to embarrassingly move the topic back to trying to chase Tat. Eventually they manage to catch the right Tat with the element, and hear some noise coming back from the plaza of Joilant. It's another monster, Leptio. Klonoa defeats him, and then Leorina comes in to congratulate on collecting the sufficient data on his ring for her by defeating the Leptio with it, and letting them keep the element as they fly off into the distance. They then go and get their second element, joy.

They make their way back to Baguji, where they ask him if he knows what they plan to do with the data. He's not sure, but he senses that the Volk is somehow involved. So they follow their way through the underground path to get into Volk. There, they discover that Leorina's trying to build her own Wind Ring from this data. After eavesdropping they discover that there's two reactors that were meant for the production of this fake ring, and that they were to try and sacrifice the entirety of Volk in order to finish this weapon. They hurry on to both the Underground Factory and Volk City to shut them down...

But when they return, Klonoa is surrounded by a Biskarsh, but manages to shut it down temporarily. They're a bit too late though, and Leorina and Tat finished the fake ring as the city starts to go up in flames. Leorina uses this new ring to steal the element from Volk, Discord, as she makes her escape.

Popka and Klonoa try to chase after them, but Lolo stops in her tracks, saying that it's not right to leave the city like this... Klonoa thinks it a bit through and agrees, heading across the flaming city to shut down the reactors while being chased by Biskarsh again, making their run for it. The Biskarsh is finally defeated by Klonoa barely jumping out of the way and holding onto one of the wooden planks from the train tracks above the city, as the Biskarsh and the train that runs across the tracks collide with each other. Klonoa and the others then head on further to the station where the reactor resides, and shut it down. Volk City is at least prevented from going up in flames entirely, and they head on back to Baguji's island.

Baguji mentions that Mira-Mira is unenterable because of how isolated the snowy world beyond the lake is. But that they might have a way to enter the snowy kingdom, by using an ancient ark that once travelled the whole world. Klonoa is surprised to hear that the world used to be in harmony, and the ark being one of the last pieces of proof from the past that indicates this. So they head off, while Baguji says to himself that "The Dream Traveler's fate still remains veiled to me..."

Klonoa, Lolo and Popka spot that the Ark has three engines. They broadly travel across the ship and start them all, as the ark sets sail...

They end up in Mira-Mira, traveling the mountains by foot until Popka pulls out an Air Board from the Wind Ring, which astounds Klonoa a bit, because he knows it's from Joilant. But he shrugs it off, and puts it to good use to traverse the mountains. They reach the end of the mountains and end up near a mysterious maze... the maze of memories. They have to traverse through it to find their way out and to the next bell. So a trippy journey throughout the building later, they end up at a giant mirror, to which Klonoa spots something inside of it... but never was able to make out what it was.

However, after trying to make it out and never doing so, he sees that Lolo has a complete mood shift and seems out of it... Klonoa doesn't know why, but tries to gently confront her about it. To which she breaks down, revealing that she didnt become a priestess on her own and that it was his ring that gave her the power to ring it. Klonoa feels bad, but doesn't know what to say to her...

They continue on, while Klonoa cannot help but worry about her as they make their way over to the bell. When it comes down to getting the element, they are surprised to find out it's being protected by an old tree. The old tree asks them why they want to protect Lunatea, to which Popka says they don't need one. But the tree assumes that Lolo thinks they actually do, to which Klonoa tries to stand up for her. But before he knows it, Klonoa's nearly attacked by spiked balls and faces off against another monster, Polonte, summoned by the tree as a test to see if they're worthy of obtaining the last element. Klonoa manages to hold off against the Polonte on his own until Lolo manages to step over her sadness. Then the two work together to defeat Polonte, which the old tree is really pleased with, granting them the final element... Indecision.

They head back to Baguji to show them all the elements, but then discover that the real Baguji has long left since they took off for Mira-Mira and it was Leorina in disguise! With this, she grabs forth all the elements and then disappears... Klonoa
