The story begins when [[Heather]] (a recurring character from the previous game) has a nightmare about [[Wilfre]] returning and possessing [[Mari]] to help him drain all the color. She wakes up in [[Jowee]]'s cabin soon walking out with her [[Pendant]] in her hands. She then goes to the [[Hidden Beach]] and finds a treasure chest, which opens, allowing Wilfre to return from the dead by taking over Heather's body.

The next morning Jowee and Mari find out she is gone. They decide to call on [[Creator|The Creator]] to draw them another [[Hero|Creation Hero]] in order to rescue her. However, before they can draw one, the color drains from the [[Creation Hall]], as well as the village around it. Wilfre soon reveals himself and uses his newly gained [[Wilfre's Scepter|Scepter]] to drain the color from the village and make portals to take the citizens to other villages. The remaining Raposa (Jowee, Mari, [[Pirate Beard]], [[Mike]], [[Isaac]], [[Crazy Barks]] and [[Cindi]]) attempt to sail away in the pirate ship but are unfortunately stopped by a unknown thief who sails away on it.

The Creator then sends them the [[Turtle Rock]] to sail around the world and rescue the villagers. The Hero is soon drawn, who defends the Raposa from a [[Baki]] infestation, as well as finding Heather's Pendant after Jowee loses it. The Raposa soon discover that the pendant is linked to their map, and shows them where to go. The map shows them a nearby island which Pirate Beard spends a night sailing to.

The game then shows paintings revealing The Raposa World was linked to an event that happened in the [[Human]] realm, where Mike was revealed to be Heather's younger sibling and Heather is revealed to be a Human, not a Raposa. Their family won dolls of Mari and Jowee at a carnival, and on their way back home, their car crashed and rolled into a ditch, putting Mike into a coma and killing his parents, transporting him into the Raposa realm and somehow bringing the Raposa Heather to the realm as well. If Wilfre had succeeded in draining all the color, then Mike would have remained comatose and the Raposa would stay alive; if the Creator won, then Mike would wake up, causing the Raposa and their world to disappear. Since the Creator ends up winning, Mike wakes up in the hospital, reuniting with Heather in the Human realm, whose left side of her face is bandaged from the accident.
