As for Kamek there was not much left for him as he was brought to trial there after. Kamek once again spent time in jail or more accurately a "time out". Here the Yoshi watch him closely the only items taken however were his wand and his cape which the magikoopa objected too. Yet the Yoshi saw what he still wore under the cape, it was a onesie unlike any though it did embarrassed him greatly the Dinos were quite confused by it all. A magikoopa wearing a onesie? It was entirely unheard of for any koopa! Kamek would then spend all that time in "time out" as the days went by.

Two days later, Kunckles was feeling better and Grand Elder Yoshi was just glad that his son wasn't taken way by Kamek. The dojo on the other hand had new upgrades; bigger space and Emerson's room was a lot more bigger! Big enough to fit a royal avian baby toddler god or so they say. Throughout the past two days vector and Blaze became more of a father and mother like figure when taking care of the toddler baby. Blaze is the one who now changes Emerson's diapers and burps him while Vector was now taking him to school and playing with him. The other siblings were doing their best to keep Knuckles in bed and taking care of him.

Kamek after all of this time then was finally brought out, Kamek was being placed on trial by the Elders. Kamek really didn't have any koopa by his side or any one. Kamek was very much indeed alone. Or so he believed. By a dark divine intervention an evil worked his way to his heart without anyone else thinking otherwise. By request however Kamek wished to see the sun rise over the island. It was here we see our heroes come in.

Vector: Blaze? did you bring the diaper bag?

Blaze: of corse I did!

Vector: make sure you ready his bottle when he is hungery.

Toddler Emerson: Abuu *gurgle* *gurgle*

Blaze: oh spoke to soon.

Shadow: so why are we here?!

Vector: for the trial today..

Blaze: vector!

Vector: What?!

Toddler Emerson: *wimpers* botty...

Vector: Shadow can you carefully hand over Emerson..

Shadow: sure...

-they enter the big house, the elder's trial building-

When the siblings walked in they were amazed by the scale of the building. Ornate and beautiful, stained glass windows of past heroes and history. Flowers and honey hive designs decorations dot the room. A long hallway and at the end were two big doors with the family's crest; Yoshi egg with wings. When they entered in the big room they were surprised by what they saw. Knuckles in a stroller wheelchair. At least three hours pass by, until the doors open for the public to walk in. Many from all over the village joined in, all wanted to see the justice for themselves, all wanted to see the evil.

As Vector and Blaze were getting comfortable Emerson was trying to crawl over to Knuckles blaze being the "mother" kept him on her lap. Emerson was really hungry during the first few hours of the trial. By the time break came around he had a very full diaper and a hungry belly. As Blaze quickly changed his diaper Vector was using Emerson's favorite plushie to distract him. Many of the Elders at this time came over to see Emerson play.

Yet Emerson himself was worried about the magikoopa secretly he made his way over to him. Emerson being a toddler god had taken his pity and instead gave Kamek a gift. Kamek at first was confused but when sitting by him he gave the magikoopa a hug and one of his feathers. Kamek was a taken back by this gesture. Kamek took his feather but because of how he felt he burned the feather in front of him. Emerson was about to cry and Knuckles came in just in time, with him pushing the stroller wheelchair was Danny's father! Knuckles himself could barely say a few words or his anger, Danny's father knew what Knuckles wanted and picked up his baby brother and placed him on his lap Emerson softly cried in his brothers arms all the while Knuckles comforted him. Later after break the trial resumes and the verdict was herd: "GUILTY!" After all was said and done everyone was tired and went home.

It was just another day and then gone yet before all ended knuckles went to see the nurses at the office to final be then told he can move about on his own just in stroller still. Knuckles and most of the brothers and sisters did abid of cheering but the catch was that now he would have to wear padded underwear with baby powder in between. This inline scared the Echidna the most because Emerson never saw Knuckles in underwear before. Low and behold this what he feared the most!

Later that night however before going to bed Knuckles came into Emerson's nursery room. Blaze and Vector had gotten out of the bathroom Emerson still wet and soaked. Emerson was very much indeed looking for his favorite Echidna sitting in the corner of the nursery room was Knuckles! Emerson was so happy stealing flapping his wings all the while Vector and Blaze were drying him off and putting on a slip on diaper, onesie on. After Vector brought the toddler god over to Knuckles carefully placing him in the stroller. At first Emerson was thrilled then when see his older brother in underwear he was ready to cry. Quietly giving him a hug and kiss on the head reinsured Emerson all that he needed to know, Emerson then hugged his big brother back. Blaze and Vector silently cried tears of joy they three together sang Emerson the Yoshi's island Lullaby. They go back to each of there bedrooms and sleep each knowing the toddler God was finally happy.

Diaper Kingdom landscape. It was huge, tress made from baby toys and rivers that were made from milk and creature made from diapers themselves baby powder flowers that puff powder of all different colors. Animals of different types all made from plush that they too wear diapers. Villages made from wooden blocks and roofs the same. Yet through the land were patches of diaper plants. Diaper plants give off a sweet smell and produce mushy foods, some like fruits or vegetables others like candy and sweets. Everything in joy and happiness! It was the ultimate paradise for any baby or toddler.

Unless you were the "nightmares" evil creatures that wear underwear and onesies and have evil pacifiers. Some of the evil entities took on many forms some were parts of the villagers others were real nightmares! But the nightmares did have weaknesses all were weak to love and innocence and happiness, the nightmares stood no chance to this and that is where Tinkle and Diapee came in to save the day. Despite having the campsite and Knuckles, Grand Elder Yoshi sleeping in they were out and about saving the diapered inhabitants.

Tinkle the diaper koopa & Diapee the diaper echidna had just saved a village when the happened upon an old small temple of diapers there they saw statues of diaper heroes of an youthful time here the gained two very special weapons. The plush sword of light and the plush shield of leak guard! Both Diapee and Tinkle applied these items to their diapers. The plush shield of leak guard is just an extra layer to the diaper if worn and the ability here was that if you held out your arm as if hold a shield it would build out one for you in the form magical circle. Tinkle the diaper koopa & Diapee the diaper echidna then after came out swinging. The came back to the tent only to put on diapers that had these abilities. Knuckles and Emerson's dream adventures continues that night.

-entering Toddler Emerson's and big brother knuckles' dreams-

Knuckles: ugh... My- *realizes that he is in a tent*

Grand Elder Yoshi: what happened? And where are we?

tinkle: hi!!!

Knuckles & Grand Elder: AHHH!!!!

Tinkle: I sorry for scary...

Knuckles: where is- *tapped on the shoulder*

Diapee: haiiiiii!!!!!!!

Knuckles: aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!! (echoes)

Grand Elder Yoshi: don't scare us like that.

Diapee & Tinkle: *giggles* you are in the diaper kingdom. Don't you remember?

Knuckles: yeah now I remember, I remember what we need to- *realizes something strange* what is it that I'm wearing?

Tinkle: a diaper!

Knuckles: WHY MEEEEEEEEEEEE????!?! (Echoes)

Grand Elder Yoshi: oh c'ome on son, don't worry I know that you didn't like diapers to begin with... But a least try it for a bit okay?

Knuckles: easy for you to say... Your an old Yoshi...

Grand Elder Yoshi: SON... please don't make me pull that diaper down and spank you... Daddy doesn't want have to do that, now do we?

Knuckles: *sighs* yes daddy...

Tinkle & diapee: hahahaha!!

Tinkle: while you were both sleeping we managed gain cool new diapers! *shows off new diaper*

Knuckles: cool!

Diapee: both of you big babies have them on too!

Grand Elder Yoshi: *looks down* woah! Whoa!

Tinkle: we thought that you might needed them for the fight head!

Grand Elder Yoshi: hey, thank you Tinkle!

Tinkle: hey, any time!

Knuckles: ok so... What's the plan?

Diapee: the plan? What's a plan?

Tinkle: I think a plan is an intention or decision about what one is going to do.

Knuckles: look at you big man the achievement man figuring out the answers.

Tinkle: tanks *hugs*

Diapee: and I tougt dat I were smart...

Knuckles: don't worry you will get your "shoot" at next time.

Diapee: shot where? I don't wanna a shot...

Grand Elder Yoshi: what wrong with him?

Tinkle: he doesn't wike shots... It hwrts him.

Knuckles: sorry Diapee.. I didn't mean too..

Diapee: *hugs knuckles*

Knuckles: *embraces hug back*

As the group cleaned up the area they then moved on, looking on and forwards to the adventures beyond the kingdom of diapers. Not really expecting much during their travels the group adventured through dangerous temples full of nightmares and big kid stuff. Potty monsters and changing tables, and the potties were the most dreaded but the worst of them all would come to pass. What seemed like forever they finally came across the legendary temple of diapers. This temple was said in the diaper kingdom legend long ago once held the the kingdom's supply of diapers and other baby stuff, it even once held the statue of the goddess of storks herself. Now the temple is long forgotten and abandoned by memory but for those who still believe in her divine diaper powers say that they will be granted a very special gift from her.

-enterting the temple of diapers...

Tinkle: It scary here...

Diapee: knuckles why are we here?

Knuckles: I've herd that this place was supposedly one of the last places to look into before we take on Kamek... And the last place to get the hidden gem from remember?

Tinkle: yeah...

Diapee: I'm worried ....momma?

Grand Elder Yoshi: son... Please we need to get out of here. Its not safe here.

Knuckles: I'm not leaving until we find the seventh hidden gem, trust me I'll know
When it happens, happens...

Digging deeper into the temple they went, battling the monsters of darkness they were working their way to the final boss room later with the big key in hand they were ready for the finale fight.

Grand Elder Yoshi: are you all ready?

Knuckles: ready!!

Tinkle: weady!!

Diapee: rweady!!!

Grand Elder Yoshi: alright then ... let's end this nightmare!!!

As the group opened the boss gate they carefully walked in, weapons at the ready the room was silent, very silent at best. Looking around they couldn't believe what they were reading on the walls. Written in gold was the story of the goddess of diapers and her babies, the monsters they faced and the evil darkness. Looking towards the center of the room they saw the statue of the goddess. When the group walked closer the  statues eyes began to glow a radiant dark shade of red and blue, then a familiar voice came from the shadows.

Dream Kamek: hahahaha-gaah!!

Knuckles: Kamek!

Grand Elder Yoshi: BROTHER!

Dream Kamek: brother what are you doing here?

Grand Elder Yoshi: I came here to put an end to your reign of nightmares and save my son from the likes of you, brother...

Knuckles: I've haven't been getting a good night sleep because of my younger brother constant crying at night!

Tinkle: release my friend you fiend!

Diapee: yeah!!!! The king needs his son back...

Dream Kamek: GRRRRRR- I grow tired of this... Herma! Take care of these brats will ya?

Grand Elder Yoshi: wait, stop! KAMEK!!!!! (Echoes)

Statue Herma: ROARRR!

-statue grabs knuckles-

Knuckles: are you ready-AHHH! Help!

Grand Elder Yoshi: knuckles!!!

Tinkle: knuckles!!! *cowers*

Diapee: we have to help, Tinkle!?

Tinkle: I scared of statue, statue big meanie...

Diapee: c'ome on Tinkle!

And so the four fought the statue of the goddess Herma, being a magically powered by the stones in its eyes they needed away to smash the stones to bits, With the weapons they obtained earlier in the other temples Tinkle and Diapee used their powers to weaken the first eye and grabbed it. Grand Elder Yoshi then was tasked to rescue his son knuckles who trapped inside the statue. Knuckles while inside the large statue was destroying it from the inside out.

Knuckles: daddy!!!

Grand Elder Yoshi: son.. What are you doing?

Knuckles: trying to collapse the statue from the inside out!

Grand Elder Yoshi: no... Please son there has to be another way to destroy the the statue!?

Knuckles: daddy, it's alright I know what I'm doing dad!

Grand Elder Yoshi: please... I don't want to lose you!!!

Knuckles: it's alright daddy. I'll be okay.

As knuckles was reinsuring his father, tinkle and Diapee were taking a beating from the statue Herma.

Tinkle: Diapee?!?!

Diapee: yeah?

Tinkle: help me!!!!!! (echoes)

As Grand Elder Yoshi was saying goodbye to his son in the statue he went to get Tinkle and Diapee and free them from the clutches of the state Herma, during the ordeal Diapee and Tinkle were crying and sobbing and just wanted to be comforted. Meanwhile knuckles was making his way up towards the head of the statue only to find that there were more parts; gears Turing and moving and all to familiar glowing stone in the center of the room a CHAOS EMERALD!! Knuckles now knew that the only way was to destroy from the inside out. Moving as fast as he could Knuckles destroyed most of the statue's interior head. Grand Elder Yoshi was shocked when he saw that his son inside the the statue's head. The monstrous statue swung its head side to side, left to right. Just then the beast decided to bash its head and hopefully kill his little nuisance inside. Tinkle and Diapee got up and ran after the beast trying to free Knuckles.

Knuckles: what are you doing...

Tinkle: trying to get you out!

Diapee: alright together! One... Two.... Three!!!

Tinkle & Diapee: *struggling and pulling* *struggling and pulling*

Tinkle: gah... It's no use!!

Knuckles: try-something!! AGAIN!

Tinkle & Diapee: *struggling and pulling* *struggling and pulling*

Diapee: it's no use...

Herma: ROARRR!!!!

Knuckles: please go and-*Tinkle puts hand on knuckles*

Diapee: *gasp* Tinkle.. You can't be serious...

Tinkle: yes.. Our final stand... *looks towards Knuckles* knuckles take that Chaos emerald back to the king and inform him of what happened here and save his son... Please, knuckles for us?

Knuckles: I-don't wanna leave you both behind, please...

Diapee: please tell the Kings' son and him that-*tears start to fall* we served a great land and a great son...

Tinkle: these are our final words... Goodbye friend we will miss u. (echoes)

As tears were falling from his face, Knuckles couldn't believe that these young toddlers were risking there very lives in order to move on in the hunt for the evil babynapper. As the statue (with its head particularly broken head) swung side to side trying to free itself. Grand Elder Yoshi was very scared, just as he preparing himself for the worst Tinkle and Diapee were carrying knuckles' body bruised and beaten.

Tinkle: get out of here Grand Elder Yoshi, please!

Grand Elder Yoshi: why? Tell me...

Diapee: there is no time to explain you and our friend, the king's son is in danger you need to go and protect him okay?

Grand Elder Yoshi was surprised by the amount of bravery that the young toddlers were displaying Tinkle the diaper koopa & Diapee the diaper echidna were basically giving up for the sake of the Royal diaper kingdom, a land full of innocence and babies. As far as dreams go this was not the end in the kingdom for this essentially the start of a new friendship in the battle against growing up.
