Welcome to MOTHER3 World
NOWHERE ISLAND - TAZMILY VILLAGE - BEYOND THE TELLY FOREST - HINAWA'S
FATHER, ALEC'S HOUSE
A KNOCK AT THE DOOR. LUCAS IS SLEEPING IN HIS BED.
Claus: Lucaaaaaaaaassssss!!!! How long are you going to sleep? Come on, get
up and play! Hurry up! Drago brought his kid with him. He's so
cute. Hurry up!!!
LUCAS WAKES UP AND GETS OUT OF BED. CHECK THE WOOD STOVE.
“It’s a pretty standard wood burning stove.”
LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND...
“Bedhead. Same as always.”
GO DOWNSTAIRS AND TALK TO HINAWA.
Hinawa: Good morning, sleepyhead. Claus has been up for a while. He's off
playing with Drago.
TRY TO LEAVE OUT THE DOOR AND...
Hinawa: You're not going out to play in your pajamas, are you? Go
upstairs and change. (OK/NO)
GO BACK DOWNSTAIRS AND TALK TO HER AGAIN.
Hinawa: Now you look like a million bucks. Have fun.
GO OUTSIDE AND TALK TO ALEC.
Alec: Hey, our late riser is finally up. You're going home today, aren't
ya? It's gonna be lonely around here.
TALK TO THE PIG ON THE LEFT AND THEN ON THE RIGHT.
Pig (left): OINK. (I've been wondering what the pig next to me is going
to say.)
Pig (right): OINK. (Forget about me.)
TALK TO THE COW.
Cow: MOO. (No matter what we're thinking, all we cows can say is MOO.
Remember that and it'll come in handy.)
TALK TO THE ROOSTERS.
Rooster #1: COCKADOODLEDOO. (Oh, you're up.)
Rooster #2: COCKADOODLEDOO. (Late-sleeperer-person!)
HEAD TO THE SOUTH AND YOU ARE STOPPED.
“There is an ant at your feet. It looks like you might step on it, so
please turn back.”
TALK TO THE FROG.
Frog: A tale is formed from a range of memories. Memories recall
other memories and yet others are formed anew. If you don't set down
your memories, you'll forget them. So, please tell me all your
memories up till now. This is what people call “Saving”. So,
RIBBIT,do you want to save? (YES/NO)
AFTER SAVING...
Be careful. And say hi to the next frog for me.
HEAD RIGHT INTO THE NEXT AREA. KRAUS IS RUNNING AT DRAGO AND KNOCKING HIM
OVER. TALK TO KRAUS...
Claus: Man, I’m beat. I've been play fighting with Drago and his
friends all morning. Lucas, you should play too. Try to hurl
yourself at Drago.
ALEC ENTERS.
Alec: Claus!! Lucas doesn't know about hurling yet. Lucas, form in your
mind an image of something like a B Button. Now, hold it for a
little while and then release. That is how you DASH. Claus! Show him
how it’s done.
KRAUS STEPS BACK AND DASHES AT DRAGO. DRAGO FALLS OVER AND THEN GETS BACK UP.
Alec: Now it’s your turn, Lucas. Give it a shot. But you'll never be able
to do it with such a scared look on your face. Let yourself go limp.
Release the tension in your shoulders. Relaaaaax, relaaaaax!
RUN AT DRAGO AND KNOCK HIM DOWN. TALK TO KRAUS.
Claus: The harder you bump into Drago, the happier he gets.
A CREATURE NAMED OKERA ENTERS.
Okera: Move it, move it, move it, mooooooooove it. Okera coming through!
I heard you all fighting. You got to let me in, you gotta. I'll
knock you all to the ground. GTry and stop me and I'll make you
eat it, punk!
AFTER THE BATTLE
Okera: Wow, you had more bones than I thought. You can be my sparring
partner any time. However, the next time be in the big stadium,
Cricket Hole. I look forward to it...brother.
OKERA LEAVES AND HINAWA ENTERS.
Hinawa: I stepped on a cricket. I wonder if he'll be ok... Everyone, time
to eat. Today is Lucas and Claus's favorite, SPAM.
Claus: Yes! SPAM!
THE BOYS RUN OFF TOWARDS HOME.
Hinawa: You, too, father.
HINAWA LEAVES AND ALEC ADDRESSES THE CAMERA.
Alec: Well, everyone...about saving...you talk to a frog to do it. That's
how you save. It doesn't take hardly any time at all so, make sure
to talk to them often. It feels good to save. And saving is
completely...free of charge. Now I guess I'll return to the story
already in progress...
...Hey, wait up. Leave some SPAM for me....!!!
BACK AT ALEC’S HOUSE, THE TWO BOYS AND THEIR MOTHER ARE SITTING AT THE
KITCHEN TABLE.
Claus: Hey, mom, what's your favorite food? Huh? It's SPAM? Hey, that's
the same as us! Jinkies!
Hinawa: After we eat we're going back home. We have to go through the
woods,so I'd like to leave a little early.
Alec: Maybe sometimes the kids can come visit by themselves. You too,
Lucas. Ha.....
HINAWA GOES OUTSIDE TO THE FRONT PORCH AND WRITES A LETTER TO FLINT.
Flint,
The kids have been running wild around the fields and mountains
since we've been here. Just like you said they would. They never get
tired.
Claus is still as risky and energetic as always. Lucas is still a
little withdrawn. But, it seems like both of them are having a great
time playing. I think my father’s going to be lonely when we leave.
He hadn't seen the boys for a long time. But, we'll be coming home
this evening.
I hadn't breathed in this clean mountain air for a while. I forgot
how good it makes you feel. You’re always in Tazmily Village
enveloped in the smell of goats, so I want you to smell this clean
air as well.
Next time we come we'll have someone baby sit the goats and we'll
come here as a family. Claus, Lucas and I have you always in our
minds. Tonight when we get home I'll whip up a batch of my special
SPAM.
Yours and the boys forever,
Hinawa
A PIGEON TAKES THE LETTER FROM HER AND A UFO FLIES OVERHEAD.
THE MOTHER 3 TITLE SCREEN APPEARS.
EXPLOSIONS ROCK THE FOREST AND THE WILDLIFE RUN FOR THEIR LIFE. PIG MASKS ARE
SEEN PLANTING BOMBS.
=============================================================================
CHAPTER 1 - NIGHT OF THE FUNERAL
=============================================================================
THOMAS RUNS TO FLINT’S DOOR AND KNOCKS ON IT.
Thomas: Flint, Flint, Flintttttttttt!!!!!!!! It's a fire. A fire! A fire
and more fire. The Telly Forest is burning like a bonfire.
YOU NOW CONTROL FLINT SO GO TO THE FRONT DOOR.
Thomas: Flint!!!!!! It's gonna get worse if you don't hurry yourself up!
The forest, the forest, the forest is on fire. Eh? Why would you
lock your door in such a peaceful village as this? Flint!!!!
THOMAS KNOCKS ON THE DOOR AGAIN AND THEN GRABS THE DOORKNOB. IT COMES OFF IN
HIS HAND.
Thomas: Ah! The doorknob... what a horrible time for this to happen.
FLINT COMES OUT OF THE HOUSE AND STARTLES THOMAS. THOMAS THROWS THE DOORKNOB
AND IT HITS THE DOGHOUSE, WAKING BONEY.
Thomas: Doorknob! No, I mean, Flint! This is no time to be taking a nap.
The Telly Forest is in flames. In a terrible time like this we
need our resident reckless nice-guy. Flint, come on. Please.
(YES/NO)
THOMAS HAS JOINED YOU.
Thomas: I'll walk behind you. Ok? I love walking behind people!!
CHECK THE DOGHOUSE.
“There is something hidden in the doghouse.”
FLINT GOT THE BROKEN STICK (ぼうっきれ)
Thomas: Flint, the broken stick can be used as a weapon if something
happens. You should make sure to equip it. You can't just hold on
to it, just like caramels.
EQUIP THE BROKEN STICK.
TALK TO THE SHEEP.
“The sheep are moving around, restless.”

* Biff: Ah, Flint. The sky to the north is black with smoke. *
* *
* Richie: If the forest is on fire, Claus and Lucas won't be able *
* to come home. *
* *
* Nicole: T..Th...The Telly Fire is on forest! No, no. The Forest *
* Felly is on tire. *
* *
* Jackie: Flint, the forest is on fire? So...I see...you want me *
* to help you, you say? (YES/NO) Hmmm, wait a sec. Yeah, *
* well you see, I'm really busy at the moment. Actually *
* I'm not but...what to say...sorry. I'll leave it to you. *
* *
* Brenda: I heard the forest is on fire. If that's really true we *
* should run away cause this village is going to be *
* engulfed in flames before long. *
* *
* Lisa : Thomas, you make more racket than that darned siren. *
* Try not to cause Flint too much trouble. *
* *
* Jill: If you're going to listen to Thomas, I would only *
* listen to about half of what he says. *
* *
* Mapson: (on the bench) I am the map-liking, map-carrying, one *
* and only Mapson. I suppose you have some map business *
* with me. Here, take it. *
* *
* *
* YOU GOT THE MAP OF TAZMILY VILLAGE. *
* *
* Lighter's cabin deep in the woods is the main concern *
* right now. I put a circle around it on your map. *
* Hurry up and put my map to good use. Ah....I forgot *
* to tell you how to look at the map. How should I put *
* this? Fill the first finger of your right hand with *
* hope and power. To put it bluntly, press the R BUTTON. *
* Does that help? *
* *
* Pusher: Flint, you were a little slow getting here. Go check on *
* the progress of the fire. If the fire reaches the city, *
* my reputation and my fortune as well as myself, will *
* be turned to ash. Go north, young man. North!!! East- *
* West-South-North's north. Why did you make we have to *
* say all that? *
* *
* Paul: *Cough* *cough* *cough* The fire is to the no*cough*rth *
* but my coughing won’t st*cough*op. I guess I'm sensitive. *
* By the way, if you want to run, how about dashing? *cough* *
* *
* Abbot: Flint, take this crossroad to the west past the Prayer *
* Room. That's the Telly Forest and it's all ablaze. Sorry *
* if that sounded too much like an explanation. *
* *
* Thomas: (to Lida, the tall guy) Hey, Lida, can you see the fire *
* from up there? Hmmm, silent as ever. *
* *
* Abbey: Flint, when you don't know where to go, you should read *
* signposts and billboards. That was so nice of me to tell *
* you that, wasn't it? *
* *
* *
* Tutoriole: Tweet! It might seem a little strange, but I'm going *
* to speak some words that sound like they may have *
* come from a game. The MENU can be brought up by the *
* START BUTTON. The MENU reads from left to right: *
* Goods/Equip/Status/Sleep. You can select from these *
* 4 with the control pad. Press the A BUTTON to find *
* out various things you want to know. Now I'll tell you *
* about "Sleep" on the far right. Select this with the A *
* BUTTON to interrupt your game. This doesn't use much *
* battery power at all, so don’t worry. When you want to *
* start it back up again, press the SELECT,L and R BUTTONS *
* at the same time. So, do you want to hear my explanation *
* again? (YES/NO) Using this kind of game language is *
* pretty rare, right? But it’s all so tweet. I mean, sweet.*
* And now, like the bird I am....TWEEET! *
* *
* Nan: Whatever I say will be of no use to you. What should I do? *

* Archat: The flames were getting near so we ran here but, *
* Lighter and his son Fuel are still in the forest. *
* *
* Chimney: Huh, don't poke me there. Hey, don't poke me there. *
* I said don't poke me there. Poke me there and I feel *
* sick. Why are you still poking me? You poked me again. *
* Poke me like that and I....barf! If I had really barfed *
* it would have been all your fault. *
* *
* Tutoriole: Hey, are you free right now? If you should low on *
* energy or get poisoned somehow, the hot springs are *
* the ticket to happiness. But, if you don't stay in *
* for a while it will have no effect. There's a really *
* great hot spring in Telly Forest. And now, like the *
* bird I am...TWEET!! *
* *
* Johner: (in the Prayer Room) May the forest, the people and the *
* animals all live in happiness... Oh, Flint. Thanks for *
* coming. Before you go into the forest you should *
* pray here. I think it's the right thing to do. *
* *
* PRAY... *
* *
* A Voice: Tell me honestly...what is the name of the person playing *
* the game right now? I see. Spookychee. You’re name is *
* spookychee. Is this correct? (YES/NO) Great, now enjoy *

* will forget that I ever asked you that question. 1... *
* 2...3! Did you forget? (yes/NO) No? Well, forget it! *
* *
* Butch: Where's the blaze? Is it burning? Is it really a burning *
* blaze? *
* *
* Ollie: I came here to help, but Ed won't let me through. I'm *
* useful. I'm not a rubbernecker. *
* *
* Ed: Flint, thanks for coming. Lighter and Fuel are still in the *
* forest, I'm afraid to say. I have to deal with these *

* Mike: *Cough* I thought I saw someone as good looking as my self *

* very delicious cookie. Make sure to eat it! *
* *
* Matt: (knocking on the cabin door) Where the heck is Isack? *
* *
* Tutoriole: (in the hot spring area) Tweet! You may try to avoid *
* fighting enemies. But, try to avoid doing that. There *
* are people who do that, though. I guess they like the *
* wind in their hair when they dash. Maybe it's a see *
* no evil, hear no evil type of thing. I'm not saying *
* that you're like that. You have to stop running and *
* face what's in front of you. "Run too much and you'll *
* regret it, young man". Remember that phrase and you'll *
* be fine. And now, in parting, TWEET!! *
* *
* Bronson: Oh, *cough*, Flint. I swallowed some of this damned *
* smoke. Lighter and Fuel still haven't come back. There *
* deep in the woods for sure. Rescue them and put my *
* mind at ease. *
**********************************************************************
HEAD NORTH INTO THE NEXT AREA. A PIG MASK RELEASES SOME FIRE BUGS LOOSE
IN THE FOREST. INSPECT THE BOX THE BUGS CAME OUT OF.
“There's a metal box-like thing on the ground.”
NAVIGATE THE FIRE AND TALK TO LIGHTER WHO IS ON THE GROUND.
Thomas: Lighter!! Hey, Lighter, are you OK?
Lighter: Flint...oh, and Thomas. D....amn...cough. Those things...the
more I defeated the more came. Keep going ahead.
THEY ALL LOOK AT THE BUG ON THE LEFT.
Thomas: What is that? A bug?
Lighter: I don’t know. *Cough* Those are the things setting fire to the
forest. Fuel is probably still in the cabin in the woods.
Thomas: Fuel is still in the cabin?!! Flint!! Go and rescue Fuel.
I'll see to Lighter's injuries.
HEAD UP AND YOU ARE ATTACKED BY THREE FIRE BUGS. AFTER THE BATTLE,
CONTINUE NORTH.
GO UP AND YOU’LL SEE THE CABIN.
Fuel: Help me!!
TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR AND IT SAYS,
“It looks like it will open if you hurl yourself at it.”
Fuel: Help!! Help me!!!
DASH AND BREAK OPEN THE DOOR. FIGHT THE FLYING MOUSE AND HEAD UPSTAIRS.
Fuel: Flint...
YOU SAVED FUEL. THE CABIN COLLAPSES.
Fuel: I'm black with soot but I'm alive. You're all black as well. Thank
you, All-Black Flint. Thank you very much, All-Black Flint. We
have to tell my father that I'm safe. I'm sure he's worrying
about me.

* If you're looking for Lighter, Thomas took him to the *
* Prayer Room. *
* *
* Abbey: Flint! Fuel! You're all black but I knew it was you *
* right away. Huh? This wound? *
* *
* Abbot: That one there. You see, well...it's really hard to *
* explain. She was attacked by a mouse with insect-like *
* wings growing out of its back. She was bitten by it. OK? *
* It's really hard to explain. Shall I try it again? *
* *
* Abbey: I'm OK. And, it was a really easy to understand *

HEAD EAST PAST THE PRAYER ROOM.
Fuel: Fa----there!!!
Lighter: That voice...is that Fuel? You're safe. You fool, you're covered
in soot.
Fuel: You're the one with the injured leg.
Lighter: Well, that’s neither here nor there. OWWWW!! That hurts, you
idiot!
Archat: Master, what are you doing?
Lighter: I'm healing my leg. What's it look like?
Thomas: Look, Flint came. He saved your son.
Ed: You two were always such close battling buddies as kids. It made
me jealous.
Lighter: Thanks, Flint. I hate for you to see me like this. I guess
I owe you one.
Archat: Master, I think that's the first time I ever heard you say
thanks.
Bronson: How true. Next you'll tell me it’s going to rain.
RAIN STARTS TO FALL.
Bronson: Huh, it did start to rain.
Thomas: I hope this rain puts out all the fires. We have to see to
Lighter's treatment. Let go back to the village.
IN THE INN...
Tessie: Flint, you’re all better now.
Thomas: Flint, you and Fuel got off with light injuries.
Tessie: It's been a long time since rain fell in this village.
Flint, please take it easy.

* *
* Fuel: It looks like my father's wounds were lighter than I thought. *
* Flint, thanks again for everything. *
* *
* Lighter: Besides the bugs that were setting fires in the forest, did *
* you see anything else? I saw something like people with *
* pig masks. They were suspicious, whatever they were. Those *
* jerks turned the forest all black. Flint! You were all-black,*
* too. *
* *
* Fuel: Father, go to sleep now. *
* *
* Lighter: Fuel, come to think of it, you were all black, as well. *
* *

* Archat: Isack said that he was going into the mountains to gather *
* some mushrooms. I wonder if he was OK. *
* *
* Bob: Here's to the rain for putting out the fires. Cheers!! *
* *
* Betsy: My husband is a coward and he paced back and forth the whole *

* about the fire. *
* *
* Jackie: Oh...ah, Flint. Sorry I couldn't help you out earlier. You *
* can be sure to count on me next time something happens. If *
* you're tired you should rest. The last room on the right *

**************************************************************************
LEAVE THE INN. ISACK STOPS YOU.
Isack: Flint, I heard that you were resting here. Good. This rain is
horrible. Let me stand under the awning here. Flint...have you
seen Hinawa or the kids? (yes/NO) I see. I was in the mountains
collecting mushrooms. I happened to see Hinawa. Then I took a rest
in a dry riverbed and from far away I heard a huge roar. It
sounded to me like Drago's voice. Then I heard a shriek. At least
I thought I did. Flint, are you sure Hinawa hasn’t made it back
yet?
HEAD BACK TO FLINT'S HOUSE AND THE PIGEON IS WAITING FOR FLINT. FLINT
READS THE LETTER THAT HINAWA WROTE.
IN FLINT'S HOUSE...
Isack: Oh, I see...they're not home yet. It's raining...I hope they don't
catch a cold.
Fuel: I'll go looking for them.
Isack: They're probably hunkered down somewhere, staying out of the rain.
It's night so we should probably go looking for 'em. I'll get
all the villagers to lend a hand as well.
Fuel: I guess I'll go tell my dad what’s going down.
GO OUTSIDE AND BONEY IS BARKING AT YOU.
Boney: ROOF! (Please take me with you. I can help you out.)
“Will you take Boney with you?” (YES/NO)
Boney: ROOF! (Bow-wow)

HEAD TO THE PRAYER ROOM.
Johner: Flint, you made it. Everyone split into groups and went into the
forest. I gave them all the orders to search for Hinawa. You’re
blessed to have so many friends who love you. It should make you
real happy, in a way.
Wes: I want to help out with the search too...but they called me an
old man and told me to keep watch here. I guess nobody has any
inkling of my true power.

* Paul: This rain is cold. I hope it doesn't keep raining forever. Yuck! *

* Linda: Hinawa promised to teach me how to make her scrumptious SPAM... *
* *
* Lisa : Hinawa is smart. I'm sure they're just somewhere waiting for *
* the rain to stop. Since I know you're careless and you're just *
* going to go running off into the forest, do you at least have *
* an antidote? The forest is swarming with biting snakes. Here, *
* let me give you one of my antidotes. If you don't have enough, *

* *
* Lisa: (again) Hey, I'm searching here. Go and find your own spot. *
* *
* Ed: The flames were too strong so I didn't notice it but all over *

TALK TO BRONSON...
Bronson: It's a horrible sight, Flint. Have a look for yourself. All
these sturdy, giant trees were smashed right in half. What
make such big trees fall like that? There’s no way a human
could do that. Hey, it wasn't me! Dammit. The road is
completely blocked. Maybe it's because of these trees that
Hinawa and the boys haven't come home. It’s the long way but
you’re going to have to find another way around.
Batou: Maybe we should split into smaller groups.
Isack: Hey, Flint!
Lighter: Have you found them yet?
Bronson: Lighter...are you all right?
Lighter: I'm always fine. Don't treat me like some damned invalid. Leave
this tree business to me. Flint, keep moving.

* Batou: All of the wildlife in the area has disappeared as well. I have *

* Johner: As far as I can tell, Drago climbed up here. You can tell by *
* those claw marks. Unmistakably Drago. But what would cause calm *
* Drago to gouge out the cliff face like that? I have a feeling *
* that something bad is happening to the people, forest and the *
* animals around here. *
*****************************************************************************
WALK SOUTH AND BONEY STARTS TO BARK AND CLAW AT THE CLIFF.
Johner: Boney, what's the matter, boy? Flint, Boney seems to have found
something.
Batou: Hey, look up there. There's a piece of fabric. Over there. Do you
see it? That red thing.
Wess: What seems to be the matter? Is there something up there?
Johner: Oh, Wes, you came too. '’m sorry but nobody here ordered an old
man. There’s nothing you can do for us.
TALK TO WES
Wes: Oh...Flint. You probably want to climb up that cliff, don't you,
sonny? I understand what you’re going through but that's a little
risky. My son might be of some use to you here. Or maybe not. At
any rate, I'll call him here and we'll see. Let me borrow your
dog. Boney, I want you to bring my son here. My son’s name is
(naming screen, default is Duster) Duster. Got it? Ok, now smell
this sock.........woah, this thing reeks! Remember this smell.
Boney: Oooh! (This thing really stinks.)
Wes: I tied a yellow ribbon around your neck. Show him this ribbon and
he'll understand everything. Please.
Boney: Woof Woof! (Leave it to me!)
BONEY DRAGS DUSTER FROM HIS BED AND BRINGS HIM TO THE GROUP.
Wes: Duster, you know how you've been training in the art of thievery
since you were a kid? Well, the time has finally come for you to try
them out. Today you must carry out the magnificent Wall Staple
technique.
Duster: Sure, I've practiced it a lot but this is my first time to ever
do it for real. I hope it goes all right...
DUSTER WALK TO THE FACE PF THE CLIFF.
Duster: It looks like I can climb up here.
AT THE TOP HE SAYS...
Duster: Ok, everything looks good. Flint, be careful climbing up.
*****************************************************************************
* NPCs *
*****************************************************************************
* *
* Wes: If those marks really are Drago's, you should be careful. *
* *
* Batou: That looks scary to climb up. You don't know what's waiting for *
* you at the top. *
* *
* Johner: I had no idea Duster could do anything like that. He could be a *
* first-class thief. *
*****************************************************************************
TALK TO DUSTER AT THE TOP.
Duster: It looks like the rain has stopped. My legs definitely not the
strongest, but I'll try and follow you. Let's go together.
EXAMINE THE PIECE OF FABRIC.
“It's the color of Hinawa's clothes.”
“You got the Piece of Fabric.”
GO NORTH.
Duster: Flint, there’s someone up there. What are those? Are they human?
What are they doing?
GO UP AND TALK TO ONE OF THE PIG-MASKS. THIS STARTS THE BATTLE WITH
ROBO-DEER. AFTER THE BATTLE...
CHECK THE DROPPED ITEM.
“There's a notebook with the mark of a pig's nose on the cover. Will you
read it?”
(YES/NO)
“Flint takes the notebook and reads it. The chicken-scratch writing says...
All the life forms in this area are no good. We have to make
them cooler. The theme is: Stronger! Eviler! More violent! Once
we put that and that together we'll have a that like we've
never seen before. As for the name, it’s the Fantastic
Chimera Project. We'll remodel it step by step.”
GO NORTH AND WATCH THE UFO FLY AWAY.

*****************************************************************************
WALK AROUND A LITTLE AND BRONSON RUNS IN. TALK TO HIM.
Bronson: Flint....what to say...well, first of all, calm down and listen
closely. I have good news and bad news. Which should I say first?
Um, I guess the good news first. I got my hands on the super-huge
Drago Fang. It will be the greatest weapon. I thought you could
use it. The bad news is.....the bad news is....the place where I
found Drago's Fang. It was in...your...It was thrust through
your wife's heart.
FLINT FALLS TO HIS KNEES.
Bronson: Flint, please, be strong. I'm sure that Hinawa is the reason the
boys are safe. She must have sacrificed her life for theirs.
Tessie: Flint.....
Ollie: Flint...
Abbot: Flint, I'm not sure what to say. I'm sorry...
FLINT BASHES HIM WITH A PIECE OF FIREWOOD. OLLIE TRIES TO GRAB IT FROM HIM
BUT HE SMACKS OLLIE WITH IT AS WELL.
Abbot: Flint, not in front of your kids. What do you think you're doing?
LIGHTER APPEARS AND KNOCKS FLINT UNCONSCIOUS WITH A 2X4.
FLINT DREAMS OF HIS WIFE AND KIDS AND THEN WAKES UP IN PRISON.
Bronson: You're the first person we've ever had in the Tazmily Jail.
Congratulations. Flint, Abbot and Ollie are fine. I'm truly
sorry about what happened to Hinawa. What on earth caused Drago
to attack a human? I'm going to have you rest here for a little
while longer. It pains me to do it, though. I'm going to hold
on to Drago's Fang for now. You know, the one that was in your
wife's heart. When you get out of here come by my house and I'll
give it to you. Don't forget.
WALK AROUND YOUR CELL FOR A WHILE AND KRAUS WILL ENTER.
Claus: Dad, it's me. Claus. Lucas was going to come, too, but since that
time he's spent everyday crying in front of Mom's grave. Dad, I'm
going to leave this apple here. The core is really tough and may be
hard to eat. The core. The core is really tough and may be hard to
eat but make sure you do. I’m going to get stronger. I'll be so
strong that I'll easily defeat Drago. Dad...I...
KRAUS LEAVES. CHECK THE APPLE.
“Will you eat the apple? (YES/NO)”
“There was a file in the apple.”
CHECK THE JAIL CELL DOOR
“The lock is rusted. Will you use the file? (YES/NO)
THE DOOR OPENS
“The file is now useless.”
LEAVE THE JAIL AND DUSTER TALKS TO YOU.
Duster: Flint. I'm not sure really what to say. But, I'm really sorry
about Hinawa. I can't say I know what you're going though.
Hinawa's burial is finished. Lucas has been constantly crying
in front of her grave. I think his little heart is going to break
apart. If I can ever do anything for you again, don't be afraid to
ask.
HEAD TOWARDS THE CEMETERY.

****************************************************************************
TALK TO ALEC.
Alec: Oh, long time no see. I heard about Hinawa and came here right away.
I haven't been in this village in a long time. I had a really great
time seeing my grandsons and then this.........sorry. Hey, isn't
Claus with you? He said he was going to meet someone and he hasn't
come back yet. Lucas, do you know where Claus went?
Lucas: .....I don't know.
Alec: Lucas, hiding things will help no one. He probably went to face that
beast Drago.
Lucas: No, no, no. Claus is NOT thinking that he's going to defeat Drago
and he did NOT take Dad's knife and head towards the mountain...
oops.
Alec: You raised an honest one here, Flint. So Claus is going to take that
homemade knife and face Drago. Why didn't you try to stop him?
Lucas: I told him I wanted to go too but he told me he was going alone and
not to follow.
Alec: And you just let him go? You stupid idiot!!
LUCAS RUNS AWAY.
Alec: Maybe I said too much. Flint, Claus has gone into the mountains
to avenge his mother. We haven't a moment to lose. I don't think
that Drago is himself anymore. We need to prepare. I'm going to
get weapons ready for our fight with Drago. Hurry to my house.
You remember where I live, right? If you forgot you can ask Mapson
to mark your map for you.
HEAD TO BRONSON'S HOUSE.
Bronson: Flint, don't say anything and just take this. It's Drago's Fang.
I made it in to a weapon for you. It's the only thing that'll
be strong enough to break through Drago's tough hide. No other
weapons will be able to defeat Drago. I know it's hard for you
but you'll have to carry this.
"You got Drago's Fang."
HEAD TO ALEC'S HOUSE.
Chicken: Cockadoodledoo? (Don't chase me. It's not nice to chase
chickens.)
Chicken 2: Cockadoodledoo? (Why are you chasing us?)
Mouse: SQUEAK! (Eating everything on your plate is really a great
thing to do. But, it's a little hard for me.)
Cow: MOO! (Anywhere, anytime...Moo!)
Pig 1: OINK! (I want to see a pig looking at the sea.)
Pig 2: OINK! (I want to look at the sea.)
Alec: Oh, you made it. It's gotten pretty dangerous to cross through
the forest. You know that really hard to explain flying mouse
with the insect wings growing out of its back? Well, it seems
to have bitten me. I'm pretty much all better now. Well, let's
forget about that. I've found out where Claus went. According
to the frog's information he went to visit an old friend of mine.
Let's go!!!!!
LEAVE ALEC'S HOUSE.
Alec: I mention the frog's information before. You're probably wondering
what that's all about. Frogs are my friend's assistants. My friend
can communicate freely with frogs and lizards among other things.
Look, over there is a lizard. Talk to it and it should tell us which
way we need to go.
GO NEAR THE LIZARD.
Alec: Flint, what kind of person is your friend, is a kind of question
you may be batting around in your head. My friend, and his friends,
live far from human civilization. They've lived there a long time.
They call themselves the Magypsy.
TALK TO THE LIZARD.
Signpost Lizard: Hi, I'm a lizard. I'll tell you which way you need to go.
Yay, time to spin.
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS OF THE LIZARDS.
Alec: Flint, you're probably intrigued by the name Magypsy. I can tell
by how slow your walking has become. The Magypsy have been in
this land for a long time protecting something. They all have
strange powers. They're not humans and they're not demons. They're
also not men or women. I also have no idea how old they are. So,
even though I've explained it to you, you still know nothing. Well,
in summary, they're strange. All of them, strange. That's what kind
of things they are. However, they are really good natured.
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS OF THE LIZRDS TO THE RIVER. THERE ARE TWO FROGS.
Left Frog: You lose. Sorry.
Right Frog: You win! You win!! Calling all frogs!
FROGS GATHER ALLOWING YOU TO CROSS THE RIVER.
Tutoriole: Tweet! The enemies you face will often leave items behind.
You should pick them up. But, if you have too many items you
have to either give up or throw something away. Th-ere-fore,
eat the foods when you have the need for them. Eat as much as
you can. That way you'll never run out of spaces for your
items. That's one of the tricks of the game. And now, in
parting...TWEET!!
HEAD TOWARDS THE MAGYPSYS' SHELL HOUSE.
Tutoriole: Tweet! Today is the Magypsys' monthly tea party. Over there,
can't you hear the indescribably beautiful voices coming from
Aolia's house? Tweet!
Cow: Moo. (How about squeezing yourself some milk?) (YES/NO) Moo. (You're
good at that.)
ENTER AOLIA'S HOUSE.

Ionia: Wah!!! Alec!! Welcome.
Aolia: Ionia, is this a friend of yours? How do you do? Ionia, aren't you
forgetting your introductions?
Ionia: Why, of course. This here is my good friend Alec. And you are...I
see, Flint. Let me introduce you to the Magypsys. Today is a
party so almost everyone is here. This is Aolia and that is Doria.
Over there is Fligia, Lydia and Mixolydia. The only one missing is
Roqulia. And you can call me Ionia. What? You can't remember all
that? You knew you weren't going to remember but you had me
introduce them anyway. Oh, Alec.
Alec: Anyhoo, it's been a long time. You look good. My grandson was
supposedly by here. Do you know where he went?
Aolia: You must mean that delightful little boy that was here earlier.
So Flint, you must be his father. Hmmm. Now that you mention it
you do resemble each other about the eyes.
Alec: Claus. Where is Claus?
Aolia: He ran out of here at a great speed. Quite shocking, really. Kept
going on about avenging his mother. Poor thing. So I taught him
some PSI. I didn't think he'd be able to use it so easily.
Alec: So, he's not here? Why didn't you try and stop him? What will you
do if something happens to him?
Mixolydia: Silly old man. We Magypsy have no interest in the lives and
deaths of human beings.
Flugia: Even if you live long you get at most 100 years. A blink of an
eye. What good would it do us to be concerned with your puny life
spans?
Doria: But, Mixolydia, Fligia, worrying about those their short lives is
what makes humans humans. Alec, I sympathize with you. Maybe I
understand it too much.
Alec: I don't need your sympathy. I need you to tell me where Claus went.
Aolia: That young boy went to Drago's plateau. That boy was thinking
nothing of his own life or death. If you go after him now you
might make it in time.
Alec: Flint, hurry! To Drago's plateau.
LEAVE AOLIA'S HOUSE.
Alec: Flint, we should take the cave behind this house to Drago's
lair. That's probably the way Claus went as well. Don't worry,
Flint. And release the tension in your shoulders. It'll never
go well if you're all wound up.Got it?
ENTER THE CAVE.
Alec: It's dark in here but don't despair. I've taken this path many
times. Leave the navigation to me. You that look on your face is
only going to invite misfortune. Relax....
...The road splits here but keep going west...
...Now go north...
...Hold up. Around here there should be a pit. We need to find
it and then jump right on down...
...This will take us the long way around. It'd be faster if we
just jumped right on down that pit...
...Flinty-poo. Do you like that? Relax, relax....
...At the next crossroads head south...
...From here go west...
...Wait. (fart sound) Was that you? It wasn't me. Hahahah...
...Wait...lately I've been really forgetful. But I'm sure that
we need to go north. There we can spy me some ivy.
...That was a joke. You know, it's ok to laugh. I said "spy me
some ivy". Isn't that funny?
...Oh, a dead end. I guess we made a wrong turn back there...
...From here keep going north...
...Flint, sweetheart...don't be embarrassed...
...This is it. Just climb this ivy and we'll be home
free..to-lay. It's a joke. Get it? Frito-Lay.
LEAVE THE CAVE AND ENTER YET ANOTHER CAVE. COME ACROSS SOME PIG-MASKS
AND THEY RUN AWAY. EXAMINE THE CAPSULE.
"This is a fantastic capsule that can re-energize you instantly. Do you
want to enter the capsule? (YES/NO)"
"You feel like a million bucks."
WALK OUTSIDE TO SEE THE UFO FLY AWAY, YET AGAIN.
KEEP GOING NORTH UNTIL YOU SEE DRAGO'S KID. HE SEES YOU AND THEN RUNS OFF.
EXAMINE WHAT HE WAS PLAYING WITH.
"It's Claus's favorite shoe."
Alec: That's Claus's shoe. And that was Drago's kid. Claus has got to
be around here somewhere.
Tutoriole: Tweet! (Up ahead is Drago's lair. Proceed with caution. And
now, in parting...Tweet!
PROCEED NORTH TO DRAGO'S CAVE.
Alec: Claus's other shoe. Claus, we came to save you. Where are you?
MECHA-DRAGO EMERGES.
Alec: What is that? It's no longer Drago. What is this monstrosity?
FIGHT MECHA-DRAGO. (don't forget to use Drago's Fang)
AFTER THE FIGHT...
Alec: Flint, don't...that baby is Claus's and Lucas's friend. He's
no threat to us...
"The people of Tazmily Village had never known grief like this.
On days either rainy or sunny, people greeted each other with a smile.
They were friends with all the living creatures in the forest. The
strong helped the weak and anything necessary was supplied. This
was life how they knew it. However, now they all shared the grief and
the same feeling that things were going from bad to worse.
But since when? From where? What and why? Why were things changing? The
creatures of the forest now look like strange robotic toys. The humans
were being pounced upon. There was even a family that had been severed
apart.
What were the things behind the pig masks?
What were those odd UFOs flying through the beautiful sky?
The riddles lead to only more riddles and this story opens with a
tragedy."

CHAPTER 2 - A THIEF'S ADVENTURE
============================================================================
FLINT LEAVES THE JAIL. (this is the same scene as earlier.)
Duster: Flint. I'm not sure really what to say. But, I'm really sorry
about Hinawa. I can't say I know what you're going though.
Hinawa's burial is finished. Lucas has been constantly crying
in front of her grave. I think his little heart is going to break
apart. If I can ever do anything for you again, don't be afraid to
ask.
Flint: Duster...thanks.
DUSTER AND WES ARE IN THEIR HOUSE.
Wes: Duster, my son. No...my apprentice. Listen up! The time has come.
Not like I was particularly waiting for this moment. Actually, I
hoped it would never come. In any rate, this is the time we've
have been preparing for. It is time for you to try out all those
skills I taught you. I'm still not sure who the enemy is, but it's
up to us to face it. Do you feel ready? (YES/NO) Duster, I am going
to give you a job to do. I want you to sneak into the Osohe Castle.
I want you to find "THE IMPORTANT THING" and bring it back here.
THE IMPORTANT THING is...well, there's no need to tell you what
it is. A thief must be able to sense the worth of that which he is
going to steal. If you can't, well...there's nothing more I can
teach you. Do you want to hear a little more? (YES/NO) The thing
is supposed to be incredibly valuable. Maybe it...shines a little?
Possibly.... That's all I can tell you for now. I've prepared
some things for you in the basement. Some thief paraplegics...
no, I mean paraphernalia. How many were there again? Oh well, it
makes no difference. They'll come in handy during battles.
GO DOWNSTAIRS TO GET THE SIX THIEF SKILLS. (listed below)
GO OUTSIDE AND HEAD FOR THE CEMETERY.

Mystery Man: Oh...I wasn't looking where I was going. Sorry, sorry. I
apologize again but I am in a hurry. PLease excuse me. Salsa,
let's be on our way.
GO NORTH.
Butch: Oh, Duster! I want to tell you something but you can't tell anyone
else. Look at this. This bag! What do you think is in it? It's
money. MONEY!!!! Do you know what money is? What? You don't even
know what money is? To tell you the truth...I'm not really sure
myself what it is. It's something that was never in Tazmily
Village. I think that it's going to be come the Money Age. You
just wait and see. Huh? What is the Money Age? Well, I exchanged
my pig for this. With that traveler. He took a great interest in
my pig. You cried and begged me to trade him for this bag of
money. I know it all sounds strange. I decided to do it. He's
a nice guy and we hit it off. Anyway, I got the money, so it's
mine, right? I don't want anyone who doesn't know what it walking
off with it, so I'm gonna hide it here in the well. Duster! You
must promise to keep this a secret.
CHECK THE WELL.
"You got 50000 DP....but, you put it back."
GO NORTH AGAIN AND A UFO PASSES OVER THE CEMETERY. ENTER THE CEMETERY AND

name is, always did like walking around at night.

Ant: Anty-ant ant. (I hear a voice from somewhere. Don't you? Hey, buddy,
look down. I'm down here. I'm an ant. Don't step on me. I've been

you know anything about the rhythm of battle? Dum-de-de-dum or bop-
bitty-doo-wop. In battle, the enemies' movements all have a
particular rhythm. You can use that rhythm to your advantage. Do it
right and you can get up to a 16 chain attack. I call this the....
Ta da! Sound Battle.) Anty-out!
ENTER THE CEMETERY AND NIPOLITE WILL ENTER HIS CABIN. FOLLOW HIM IN AND
GO DOWNSTAIRS. PUSH ASIDE THE BOOKCASE TO REVEAL THE UNDERGROUND PASSAGE.

INSPECT THE WALL.
"It looks like you can climb up here. Will you use the Wall Staples?"
(YES/NO)
GO TO ENTER THE CASTLE AND AN ANT STOPS YOU.
Ant: Anty-ant ant. (Hey, don't you ever look down? I'm right here. It looks
like you still haven't gotten the hang of the rhythm of battle. To
figure out the rhythm you have to figure out the enemy's movements.
Didn't you know that you can put them to sleep and then listen to the
beating of their hearts? I knew that. And now you do, too. Although,
you still can fight without worrying about rhythm.) Anty-out!
ENTER THE CASTLE. CHECK THE PAINTING.
"You have the feeling that a woman is watching you from behind the
painting."
CHECK THE ARMOR.
"A suit of armor is on display."
CHECK THE STATUE.
"The name of this piece is written on the plate...'It weighs heavy on me.'"
RUN INTO IT TO MALE THE BALL BREAK A HOLE IN THE FLOOR.
"Do you want to jump down? (YES/NO)"
OPEN THE BOX AND A GHOST COUGHS GREEN MIST IN YOUR FACE.
"You feel sick to your stomach."
THE SIGN IN THE NEXT ROOM READS...
"Do you ever feel a heaviness in your stomach that keeps you
from eating anything? If you do, you should try a REFRESH MINT to
regain your former spunk."
A SIGN IN ANOTHER ROOM SAYS...
"This is the Ghost Bazaar. Trade your Rotten Eclairs here."
ENTER THE GHOST BAZAAR. THERE ARE 3 ITEMS LINED UP. THE REFRESH MINT,
SNAKE ROPE AND JERKY. THE SNAKE ROPE IS NECESSARY.
Good Ghost: That's the super popular Snake Rope. You can have that for 1
Rotten Eclair. Will you trade? (YES/NO) Thanks! This is an
item that will be with you for the rest of your life so even
if you think it's expensive you should buy it. Thanks again. We
both got something we wanted. Take good care of your Snake Rope
it'll be with you for the life of your body.
IN ANOTHER ROOM THERE IS A MOUSE.
Mouse: In this castle the fireplaces are secret shortcuts. But, don't
tell the ghosts.
CHECK THE FIREPLACE...
"There is a hole in the fireplace. Will you go in?"
IN THE LOUNGE THERE ARE MANY GHOSTS.

CLIMB UP THE WALL AND APPROACH THE GAP. THE ROPE SNAKE APPEARS.
Rope Snake: All right...looks like it's my time to shine. Throw me over
that candlestick there. Don't worry. I'll be fine.
NEXT TO WHERE YOU CLIMBED UP THERE IS A GHOST.
Good Ghost: Hey, that's a Rotten Eclair, right? How about trading me for
Jerky? (YES/NO) If you get any more Rotten Eclairs let me
know, OK?
THERE'S ANOTHER GHOST IN FRONT OF THE DOOR.
Good Ghost: I know you're strong but the suit of armor in this room is
gonna rock your world. If you're ready to be rocked I'll
step aside. Don't forget to use your thief goods and other
goods, too.
ENTER THE BOSS'S ROOM
Mr. Passion: My name is Mr. Passion. This is the 2nd movement of "Family
Matters". Listen closely. (OK/NO)
SELECT NO TO START THE BATTLE.
Mr. Passion: You have no appreciation of virtuosity.
AFTER THE BATTLE A MOUSE FALLS FROM ABOVE.
Mouse: Squeak! (Thanks for saving me. You should rest on the sofa.)
"You felt something warm in your heart."
GO NORTH INTO THE NEXT ROOM.
"There's an intricately crafted jar."
"You got the Noble Spittoon."
HEAD BACK TO WES'S HOUSE. TALK TO NIPOLITE.
Nipolite: Hey, it's Wes's son. If you're going back you should take
the drawbridge. It's faster and safer than the underground
passageway. I'll give you the key to the drawbridge. You
don't have to give the key back so go ahead and take it.
The underground passage is enough for me.
BACK AT WES'S HOUSE.
Wes: Hey, you're back quicker than I expected. Let me see what you
brought. This...this glossy, pleasant to the touch, intricately
crafted jar. This is the Nobel Spittoon, a part of the Osohe
Castle legend. Nice work. I knew my judgement was sharp. Duster,
you are, more than I could have imagined an....................
...........IDIOT!!!
WES SMASHES THE NOBEL'S SPITTOON.
Wes: You call yourself a thief but you have no eye for value. What else?
Fool!! You didn't bring anything else back? Were you being a
bonehead on purpose trying to impress me? It worked, dipstick.
Wait....what's that? Show me again. This is the thing that I was
looking for...NOT! Duster, is it possible that the owner of this
pendant is the princess? Duster, your first job was
a failure. However, I may have been too quick with my insults. I'm
going with you. Let's head for Osohe Castle. Take me to the room
where you got the spittoon.

Wes: What...? What is that eerie sound?
PIG TANKS AND PIG MASK SOLDIERS INVADE THE CASTLE.
Nipolite: Ow, ow, ouch. They got me good. Those pig-headed things marched
into the castle. If that's where you're headed, be careful.
ENTER THE CASTLE AND BATTLE THE CLAY GUY.
AFTER THE BATTLE HEAD TO THE ROOM WHERE YOU GOT THE SPITTOON.
AT THE STONE DOOR...
Wes: The treasure is behind there. There are signs that someone has opened
this door. And very recently. The only person who could open this door
is the young lady of the castle. Duster...this is embarrassing so
please face the other way.
WES STARTS TO DANCE.
Wes: Don't look!!!! I'm not sticking out my butt or anything like that.
WES FINISHES AND THE DOOR OPENS.
Wes: When you were young I taught you that dance. I'm sure I've told you
"when in trouble, dance" about one million and eleven times. The
young lady is probably through here. But, there also may be more
of those piggies. Be careful, pudding-head.
PROCEED ON AND YOU ARE ATTACKED BY A YOUNG GIRL.
Kumatora: ....Old Man Wes? You're Old Man Wes, aren't you?
Wes: Oh, I knew it was you. It's been a long time. I've never ever thought
of you. No,no,no,no,no. In my happiness I made a faux pas. I meant to
say I've never ever forgotten you. Duster, chicken-brain, do
something.
Kumatora: Enough. I got my leg caught in this stupid trap. There's no way
I'm going to die here so I was debating about whether to cut off
my leg or not.
Wes: Haha, as reckless as ever. There's no need to cut your leg off. I'll
use my super-duper thief skills to remove the trap. Allow me.
KUMATORA IS RELEASED FROM THE TRAP.
Wes: Oh, you're safe now.
Kumatora: That's my pendant. You stole it from me. I'll have to be careful
around you. I suppose he's your son? You got some funky B.O.
going on. Duster, huh? My name is...(naming screen) Kumatora.
Nice to meet ya.
KUMATORA STARTS TO WALK UP THE STAIRS AND THEN TURNS BACK.
Kumatora: What are you doing? Let's get a move on.
Wes: Where?
Kumatora: Don't you know? Aren't we after the same thing?
Wes: What about your leg?
Kumatora: It's nothing that a little spit won't fix. I'll walk it off.
Let's go. Hey. Wes's son...you'll have to be my escort.
WALK TOWARDS THE DOOR AND THE WIND STOPS YOU.
Gossip Wind: HUUuuuuuuuuu.....hello. Sorry to sneak up on you like
that. I'm the Gossip Wind, the wind that blows the
gossip around. The rumor is that the bullish young girl named
Kumatora who just joined your party can use PSI, which are
supernatural powers. If this rumor turns out to be true, then
it'll be very advantageous to you in battles. And that's all
the gossip for now. ....uuuuuuuuuuUUH.
Kumatora: What's wrong, son of Wes? Hustle your bustle!
KEEP GOING THROUGH THE CASTLE UNTIL YOU ARE STOPPED AGAIN.
"Kumatora has developed a high fever."
Gossip Wind: HUUuuuuuuuuu.....hello. Sorry to sneak up on you like
that. I'm the Gossip Wind, the wind that blows the
gossip around. It seems that one of your group isn't feeling
so well. It's not poison. She's not tired. Yet somehow, she's
feeling under the weather. She doesn't have the strength to
run. And it's nothing that goods or the hot spring will heal.
It's because something inside this person is trying to awaken.
I think it'll get better with time, so don't worry about it
too much. And that's all the gossip for now.....uuuuuuuuuuUUH.
KEEP GOING UNTIL YOU COME TO ANOTHER SIGN.
"Beware of the broom in the next room."
PROCEED THROUGH THE CASTLE UNTIL YOU COME TO A STONE PEDESTAL.
Wes: Here. This is it. I hid this here. Duster. This is the very thing that
I ordered you to bring home. "The Important Thing." It's referred to
as the Shining Egg or the Hummingbird's Egg. I personally do not
understand the egg. The Hummingbird's Egg is an enigma wrapped in
a riddle topped with a pretty ribbon. It's a ball of secrets.
Kumatora: But now this ball of secrets is of the utmost importance. If it
gets into the wrong hands, the lid of secrets will be opened and
things will be like, really bad.
Wes: Like if they wanted to seal something away with the egg or cause
disasters. Wait, could they actually do that? I don't know. Anyway,
the Hummingbird's Egg is our little secret. Hummingbird....
To think that this little thing contains all the secrets of the
world is actually quite humorous. Sure, it's humorous but what's
even funnier is this chowderhead here. You couldn't sniff out this
egg with all of its secrets concentrated like condensed milk. And
that's why you are ninny. You're disqualified.
Kumatora: You shouldn't say such things to your own kid. If he's really a
a dunce he won't know it even if you tell him. Anyhoo, we cannot
let this egg fall into the enemies hands. Oh no, they're here!
Wes! Duster! We've got to get out of here quick.
Wes: Wait! The Egg looked like it was just sitting there but it was really
protected by a series of traps.
Kumatora: Huh.....trap?
THEY ALL FALL THROUGH THE FLOOR.
Wes: NNNNNNOoooooooooooooooooo!
Kumatora: Sorry!!!!
THEY LAND IN A BODY OF WATER.
Wes: My lady....are you all right?
Kumatora: I'm fine but...where is it?
Wes: What? If you're talking about halfwit, he's probably fine. I've
trained him for situations like this.
Kumatora: ...? Not Duster, the Egg. The Egg is gone.
Wes: What? Not the pea-brain but the Egg?
DUSTER APPEARS FROM UNDER THE WATER.
Wes: Yes, the Egg! Oh, and Duster, too. I take back all the 11 times I
called you names today. I'm looking at you in a new light. Good
work. Applause all around.
THE SHADOW OF SOME CREATURE COMES INTO VIEW.
Wes: Maybe it was a little soon for applause.
DEFEAT THE SEA SERPENT.
Wes: Now what?
EVERYONE GETS SUCKED DOWN A DRAIN AND THEY WAKE UP ON THE BANK OF THE RIVER.
LIGHTER RESCUES THEM AND TAKES THEM HOME.
WES RISES FROM BED.
Kumatora: Oh, you're awake!
Wes: Is this my house?
Fuel: Wes, you and this bullish girl here washed up on the bank of the
river. It was a good thing I was out with my father. If I had
been by myself, I would have pretended not to see you.
Wes: I see. Thanks, Fuel. Wasn't numbskull there as well?
Lighter: Are you talking about Duster. No, there was just the May-
December pair of you two.
Wes: That goon...I mean, Duster...when I see him I'm going to take the
gloves off and really let him have it.
Lighter: You were both unconscious. Maybe you should just relax and take
it easy for a while.
Kumatora: (to Wes) What are you talking about? Let's go look for him right
away.
HEAD INTO THE VILLAGE.

ENTER THE VILLAGE AND THERE IS A CROWD MILLING AROUND THE WELL.
Butch: Wes! Where's that jerk Duster? Duster was the only person who knew
about my bag of money hidden in the well and now it's gone. Which
means that the criminal is Duster. That was my money!!
Lisa: You've been saying that for a while now but tell me, where did you
get something like that? What is money, anyway?
Brenda: This sure is a strange story.
Butch: Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP!!!!! Wes, Duster is a thief, am I right?
There was nothing in this village to steal so he took a long
vacation, but as soon as something cool like money appeared he
had to have it.
Kumatora: You better shut your mouth or I'll shut it for you!
KUMATORA CHASES BUTCH AROUND FOR A LITTLE.
Butch: Who are you? Another thief? I'm anti-violence. And you're trying
to do violence. Violence!
Flint: Butch and everyone needs to calm down. You can make all the racket
you want, but the fact of the matter is that Duster isn't here so
we don't know anything. Wes, I and the other villagers believe you.
We'll just have to wait for Duster to return.
Wes: I hope that nincompoop comes home soon.
"The strange group responsible for fiddling with the animals in the
forest and turning them into monsters have begun their plan to
change the villages, way of living and even, hearts of the humans.
Something larger appears to be hidden in the strange movements of
peddler and his monkey.
However, there are some who are not content to fold their arms and

CHAPTER 3 - THE SUSPICIOUS PEDDLER
===========================================================================
THE CHAPTER STARTS WITH A HUGE UFO, PIG-MASKS AND TWO MONKEYS. THE PEDDLER,
YOKUBA, COMES IN.
Yokuba: Listen, monkey, do as your told or your girlfriend is going to die.
Be good and you'll be able to have a happy little reunion. Don't
you understand that? You, and your love both, could lose your
lives.
YOKUBA ZAPS THE MONKEY WITH AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Yokuba: How was that? Feel good? That collar around your neck isn't just
any old collar. It's something that can punish you, even if you run
to the far side of the desert. Come to think of it, I haven't named
you yet. I think the time has come for you to get one. Something
cute...Nehehehe. Ok, idiot monkey. You're new name is Salsa. I'm
only going to say this once, so listen up! If you want to have an
enjoyable adventure with me, you must first remember two things:
1. You and me are the best of pals. We go way back. And don't try
to run away. And be friendly. Got it? (YES/NO) The second thing is
to never disobey my orders. If I say dance, you dance. If I say
laugh, you laugh. Got it? (YES/NO) Just do as I say and we can both
avoid any unpleasant memories. Neheheheh. Huh? You have a spark
of defiance in your eyes. Dance! No, not that dance!
SALSA GETS SHOCKED AGAIN.
Yokuba: What is that dance? That one's even embarrassing to watch. What a
strange monkey. Do something else. Good. good. Now laugh! Now
somersault! Splendid! Good, anyone who sees us will think that we
are a performance duo.
THE PIGMEN, WITH SALSA'S GIRLFRIEND, RETREAT INTO THE UFO AND TAKE OFF.
Yokuba: Hey, stupid monkey. Only cry when I tell you to cry. Don't think
that you can just cry whenever you want to cry. Admonish!
YOKUBA ZAPS SALSA WITH ELECTRICITY AGAIN.
Yokuba: Hey! How long you going to stand there? To the west of here is a
white round building. That's where we're headed.

THE SIGN READS:
"Frogs in the desert? Even in the extremely arid desert areas of Africa
there exists a type of frog known as the Sand Frog. In this region there
is no possibility of rain so the frogs burrow underground to avoid
becoming dehydrated."
APPROACH THE WHITE ROUND BUILDING AND SOMETHING GROWLS AT YOU.
Yokuba: Salsa, that is the Cactus Wolf, the most savage beast in the desert.
As long as he's standing there we have no way to get in the
building. Let's take him down! If you get beat I'm going to have to
punish you again.
DEFEAT THE CACTUS WOLF AND OPEN THE DOOR TO THE BUILDING.
Yokuba: Go in!
GO THROUGH THE DOOR AND MAKE YOUR WAY DOWN THE PASSAGE.
Yokuba: Hey, stupid monkey, look!
HE SHOCKS SALSA WITH ELECTRICITY.
Yokuba: That is a high-tech transport called Pork and Beans. Let's get
in and take it to that horribly primitive backwater town,
Tazmily . It'd take for ever to walk there but in the Pork
and Beans, we'll be there before you can say, Nuhahahaha.
Were you listening? (YES/NO) You can go down over there.
WALK NEAR THE REFRESH CAPSULE...
Yokuba: Get inside that thing and relax and you'll feel refreshed
and raring to go. It's called the Amazing Capsule and it really
is something else. Normally it would be wasted on a stupid monkey
like you but today I'll give you special permission.
GO DOWN THE LADDER.
Yokuba: Don't get in it yet, idiot. Listen up. If you want to stop
the Pork and Beans while traveling, press the button with
the B on it. Once you're stopped, press B again to get out.
Were you listening? (YES/NO) If you understand, hurry up and
get in.
"Do you want to board the Pork and Beans?" (YES/NO)
RIDE THE PORK AND BEANS WEST TO THE END. THE SIGN SAYS:
"Please, whatever you do, don't throw any Running Bombs in this room.
It'll get smokey."
FIGHT THE ENEMIES AND TAKE THE LADDER TO THE SURFACE. YOU EMERGE IN THE
CEMETERY.
Yokuba: In the village to the south is the Yado. It's a place to stay.
That's where we're headed.
HEAD INTO THE VILLAGE. TALK TO BUTCH...
Yokuba: So, how's that wonderful bag I gave you? Do you like it?
Butch: Oh, Yokuba. Don't threaten me...I'm counting all the money now.
Yokuba: Nuhahahah, make sure some thief doesn't come along and swipe
it from you.
ENTERING THE VILLAGE YOU RUN INTO DUSTER.
Yokuba: Oh...I wasn't looking where I was going. Sorry, sorry. I
apologize again but I am in a hurry. PLease excuse me. Salsa,
let's be on our way.
Butch: Oh, Duster! I want to tell you something but you can't tell anyone
else. Look at this. This bag! What do you think is in it? It's
money. MONEY!!!! Do you know what money is? What? You don't even
know what money is? To tell you the truth...I'm not really sure
myself what it is. It's something that was never in Tazmily
Village. I think that it's going to be come the Money Age. You
just wait and see. Huh? What is the Money Age? Well, I exchanged
my pig for this. With that traveler. He took a great interest in
my pig. You cried and begged me to trade him for this bag of
money. I know it all sounds strange. I decided to do it. He's
a nice guy and we hit it off. Anyway, I got the money, so it's
mine, right? I don't want anyone who doesn't know what it walking
off with it, so I'm gonna hide it here in the well. Duster! You
must promise to keep this a secret.
YOKUBA IS HIDING BEHIND THE WELL, LISTENING. HE REAPPEARS AFTER DUSTER AND
BUTCH LEAVE.
Yokuba: Nuhahahah.
ENTER THE YADO INN

Jackie: How much....?
Betsy: There's no charge at all. Feel free to stay.
Yokuba: I see. But I suppose you wouldn't mind if I gave you this...
HE HANDS OVER A BIG BAG OF MONEY.
Betsy: We'll accept your kind offer. Thank you. It'll make a nice door
stopper. The middle room is all made up. Please have a good
night's sleep.
Yokuba: Thank you very much. Salsa, can you say thank you?
SALSA DANCES AND GETS ZAPPED WITH ELECTRICITY.
Betsy: Oh my. What's the matter?
Yokuba: It's nothing. He's probably just tired from the long trip. Well,
good night. Salsa, let's go to our room.
GO TO YOUR ROOM.
Yokuba: From tomorrow I'm putting you to work. Get some sleep!
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT YOKUBA GET UP AND LEAVES. LEAVE THE INN. YOU
HEAR YOKUBA'S VOICE. HE'S TALKIN GOT SOMEONE ON A CELL-PHONE.
Yokuba: I see. You've made it to Osohe Castle. Wait for daybreak and then
storm it. Everything on my side is going peachy. What? You saw
another person in front of the castle? Why didn't you stop him?
Whatever, it doesn't matter. It was probably just some drunk
villager lost on the way home. Huh? It was a guy dragging his
feet? I think I might have seen him, too. He had kind of
brownish hair, slight B.O. and looked destitute. Don't worry
about him. Leave it to me. You get tighten the defense.
YOKUBA STEALS BUTCH'S BAG OF MONEY FROM THE WELL.
APPROACH YOKUBA AND HE ZAPS SALSA TWO TIMES.
Yokuba: Did you think that...ZAP...you could run away from me? ....ZAP
That's why you are...ZAP...a stupid monkey. Go back to the room
and sleep. What is that look? Laugh!!
SALSA DANCES.
Yokuba: You know, if you're going to run away you could be a little smarter
about it. You could try disguises or hiding your footprints. But,
monkeys are to stupid to think of that, I guess. Nuhahahaha.
BACK IN THE ROOM SALSA IS HAVING NIGHMARES ABOUT BEING SHOCKED BY YOKUBA. A
SHOCK WAKES HIM UP.
Yokuba: How late are you planning to sleep, idiot? Whatever. Today you're
going to perform tricks. Use your interestingly odd tricks to win
the hearts of these villagers. Do it well and you'll be free and
I'll take you to where your woman is. But, if you bore everyone
I'll have to punish you again.

IN THE TOWN SQUARE, PEOPLE ARE GATHERING.
Yokuba: Good people of Tazmily . Good job on the hard work you do
everyday. I have an announcement of great happiness for you today.
Blue sky...white clouds...a bountiful harvest...stout livestock
...a loving family and friendly neighbors....this village
is full of many wonderful things. However, something somewhere is
lacking. A small anxiety is creeping into your daily life. Is
that how you really want to live? Don't you feel that there's a
better life out there waiting for you? I'm sure you've all felt
like that at some time. On the outskirt of the village are strange
animals like you have never seen before. In the sky are huge
balloon shaped ships. Why? What is happening? And then, according
to the Gossip Wind, in the near future lightning will begin to
strike everyday and burn all the forests. So, did that make you
smile? You're probably wondering how this relates to happiness.
I truly believe that this will come to be. It is because of this
that I want you to be happy. I want you to live with smiles on
your faces. Today is your lucky chance. Happiness is easy to
obtain. My cute monkey, Salsa, looks to be dancing happily. He
has obtained the secret of happiness. And just how did he obtain
it, you ask? Those of you interested in that answer please raise
your hand. Who wants to be happy?!! Great. Salsa, please go
around and ask these people their names. Everyone, please keep
your hands in the air.
Biff: I'm Biff. I'm not really sure what's going on but if it's something
I can get, I guess I'll take it.
Abbey: I'm Abbey. I look up to my husband, Abbot. Having too much
happiness isn't a bad thing, right?
Isack: I'm Isack. If I can get happy that easily I guess I'll try it.
Abbot: I'm Abbot. I love collecting things and since I was a kid I've
gathered a lot of different things, but...it's kind of hard to
explain. I thought I'd gather some happiness as well. I want to
see what happiness is I guess.
TALK TO YOKUBA AGAIN...
Yokuba: Ladies and gentlemen. I want all of you to be happy. Those of you
who didn't raise your hand, please think it over and if you
should decide you,too, want to be happy, please feel free to
ask me. Today's show is finished. I pray that your village
overflows with happiness. Thank you. Salsa, let's return to
the Inn.
IN THE INN YOKUBA GETS A PHONE CALL.
Yokuba: It's me. How's it going? Did you find "IT"? What? There were
other people in the castle? Maybe you should get rid of them.
Huh? You're afraid? Got it. When I'm finished here I'll head over
there. In the meantime, you MUST find "IT".
HE HANGS UP.
Yokuba: Monkey, the HAPPY BOX is hidden in the cemetery. Go and
leave it at the houses of the people who raised their hands.
Abbot, Abbey, Biff and Isack. What? Where are their houses? You
think I know? Find out yourself! Don't think that you can run away
when you're done delivering. Make sure to come back to this room.
If you can't finish this task in 23 minutes, the punishments are
going to get even more severe. If that happens we'll have monkey
BBQ. If you should try to run away or disobey me I'll have to
start punishing your girlfriend as well. Got it? (YES/NO) If you
understand, get going! If you finish in less than 22 minutes,
I'll give you a banana or something. It's really mean to keep
you without something to eat or drink. Be grateful! Nuhahahaha.
LEAVE THE INN.
HEAD TO THE CEMETERY AND TALK TO MAPSON.
Mapson: Do you have business with the map-loving, map-holding Mapson?
Oh, you're a monkey but you have a map. Cool. I am really in the
mood to mark your map free of charge. Let me see it.
PICK UP A HAPPY BOX AND DELIVER IT TO A PLACE MARKED ON THE MAP.
Abbot: Ohohohoh. The Happy Box! Yes! Thanks monkey.
Abbey: Abbot, you ordered one, also? I guess we don't need two of them.
I'd like to cancel my order. Sorry.
Biff: Oh, arigato! Now I can be happy, too! It's working. I already feel
happy.
Isack: Oh! It's the...what is it? I wonder if this thing will really make
me happy.
HEAD BACK TO THE ROOM AT THE INN.
Yokuba: 25 minutes...too bad. If you had been 3 minutes faster I was
thinking about giving you a Special Banana. But, I guess you
didn't want it. You insolent monkey! Nuhahahaha. (He zaps Salsa)
Hey, how are long are you planning on being unconscious? Stupid
monkey. We're off to Osohe Castle.
HEAD TO OSOHE CASTLE. TALK TO THE PIG-MASKS INSIDE.
Yokuba: What's the matter? Did you find "IT"? What? Not yet? There are
other people here besides us? An old man and a sad-looking man?
It's got to be that poor looking guy with brown hair and B.O.
Where is he? They're headed for the top floor? !@#$%%^^^&&**(!!
Do not let them get away!!

* Pig-Mask: Our men are chasing after that poor-looking guy. We'll continue *
* our search for "IT". *
* *
* Pig-Mask: This castle was filled with ghost. But, we used the power of *
* chemistry to chase them all away. *
* *
* Pig-Mask: "IT" is not in this room. *
* *
*****************************************************************************
GO TO LEAVE AND YOKUBA GETS A PHONE CALL.
Yokuba: Yeah? What? They escaped underground? They have "IT"? Come on,
monkey. We're going downstairs. The entrance should be around here
somewhere. Find it!
GO DOWNSTAIRS AND CHECK THE WALL TO LEARN THE A, B AND C PARTS TO THE DANCE.
APPROACH THE DOOR.
Yokuba: It's behind this door. Hey, stupid monkey. Do something to open it!
CHECK THE DOOR AND SALSA DOES THE DANCE. THE DOOR OPENS.
Yokuba: Woah, nice work. I'll give a reward.
YOKUBA ZAPS HIM WITH ELECTRICITY.
Yokuba: Nuhahaha. Get moving.
HEAD THROUGH THE UNDERGROUND. EXAMNINE THE LEVER AT THE END.
Yokuba: What's this? This lever. Hey, pull on the lever. (OK/NO)
WATER RUSHES IN AND KUMATORA, WES AND DUSTER ARE SWEPT BY.
Yokuba: It's them. They're escaping through the waterway.
SOME PIG-MASKS SHOW UP.
Yokuba: What? They took "IT" and escaped with it? Go after them, go after
them, GO AFTER TH-----------EM!! No, I'm not barfing. I'm telling
you to chase after them. Contact me as soon as you find them.
Monkey, between you and them I don't know who's more useless.
Let's get back to the Inn.
LEAVE THE CASTLE. THE DRAWBRIDGE IS BLOCKED WITH TANKS.
Yokuba: What do you think you're doing? Hurry up and move those tanks!
Pig-Mask #1: Hey, that's an order from Yokuba. Move these tanks!
Pig-Mask #2: Yokuba was looking at you when he said that. You move the
tanks back!
Yokuba: SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!!!! It doesn't matter who I was
talking to. Both of you...MOVE THESE TANKS!!!!!
Yokuba: Now the day's almost over, you idiots.
Pig-Mask #1: (to Pig-mask #2) It's your fault, idiot!
Pig-Mask #2: Yokuba was looking at you when he said idiot, idiot!
Pig-Mask #1: The one who said idiot is the idiot.
Yokuba: You're both idiots!! Now hurry up and look for them!
HEAD TO THE TOWN SQUARE. PEOPLE ARE ARGUING ABOUT BIFF'S STOLEN MONEY.
Biff: Wasn't it you who let Duster escape?
Wes: I did not do that. Besides, there was no need.
Yokuba: People, people, people...somebody stole the bag of money, you
say? It seems that this village has become cursed. We cannot
let this wrongdoers run rampant in this village. You must
pursue happiness. Otherwise, this village is in danger.
SALSA APPROACHES KUMATORA.
Kumatora: ...
THERE'S A FLASH OF LIGHT.
Yokuba: What's the matter. You like that girl, there? Let's go back to the
Inn. I'll give you all the gourmet bananas you can eat.
BACK AT THE ROOM YOKUBA ZAPS SALSA AGAIN.
Yokuba: Stupid monkey. You still have no clue as to you're standing in
life, do you? Next time, if you don't obey my order or if your
movements are even a little bit strange, your jewel of a girlfriend
if going to meet with great misfortune. Remember that! Now go to
sleep!
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT...
Kumatora: Psst! Psst....monkey.
GO TO SNEAK OUT AND YOKUBA ZAPS YOU IN HIS SLEEP. APPROACH THE WINDOW AND
KUMATORA AND WES APPEAR.
Kumatora: Hey, monkey. We've come to rescue you. Don't worry about that
fake. He's sleeping. Come on!
AT THE WELL...
Wes: Everything's fine.
Kumatora: I didn't think you were friends with that fake. I'm sure
you were there by circumstance. You poor thing.
Wes: That ignoramus Duster is off somewhere with the Egg. Let's go
look for him. Wherever he is and whatever he's doing, I doubt he's
injured or sick.
Kumatora: Yeah. We need to search for Duster and the Egg. But first, lets
set this monkey free. Wes, while that phoney is sleeping could
you steal his shocking machine?
Wes: Sure. I shoulda stole it when we there before. I'll be back in a
flash.
Kumatora: Monkey, it's ok to relax now. I'm sure that was rough.
SALSA GETS SHOCKED.
Wes: I'm back. And I got the machine. On the way back I kind of played
with it. Did I shock you? Sorry about that.
Kumatora: Monkey, go ahead and smash it.
SALSA JUMPS ON THE MACHINE AND ZAPS HIMSELF IN THE PROCESS.
Kumatora: Monkey, you can go. You're free now. Is something keeping you
from running away? Ah, I see, she's been kidnapped...I mean,
monkeynapped. That dirty rat-bastard.
Yokuba: You called? I am the aforementioned dirty rat-bastard...NOT.
So, you are Princess Kumatora. Nuhahahaha. Stupid monkey, did
you really think you could escape?
Kumatora: He can. I'll help him. (Monkey, Wes, are you ready? 1,2,3...)
SALSA AND WES RUN AWAY.
Kumatora: (...and then we'll run away. Ready?) (Oh, you guys are fast)
SHE RUNS AWAY.
Yokuba: After them! (on his phone) They're headed your way. I see. Stand
by. I'll be there shortly. There's no way they can escape.
WES, KUMATORA AND SALSA STOP.
Kumatora: Let's head to the forest.
RUN THROUGH THE FOREST UNTIL YOU COME UPON A TANK.
Kumatora: They knew we were coming. Monkey, let's find another route.
GO NORTH AND THERE IS ANOTHER TANK.
Kumatora: There's another one. We have to go back.
GO SOUTH AND ANOTHER TANK ENTERS. PIG-MASKS ENTER FROM THE NORTH.
Kumatora: We're surrounded. Bring it on, then!
DESTROY THE TANK AND YOKUBA SHOWS UP WITH ANOTHER ONE.
Yokuba: Princess Kumatora, couldn't you just calmly obey us?
LUCAS WANDERS IN FROM THE NORTH.
Yokuba: What? Who are you? Kid, go away.
LUCAS WHISTLES AND DRAGO'S KID APPEARS.
Yokuba: Oh my pork! Why is Drago's kid in a place like this? Hey, Drago's
kid. Go away!
DRAGO'S KID ROARS AND DRAGO, NOW BACK TO NORMAL, APPEARS AND ATTACKS THE
PIG-MASKS. THEY ALL RUN AWAY.
Yokuba: Hey, where you going? (to Drago) Please...don't...
Kumatora: Monkey, does this make you happy?
SALSA WHISTLES AND DRAGO ATTACKS YOKUBA, CRUSHES THE TANK AND RUNS OFF.
Wes: Lucas, I heard that after your mother died you spent all your time
crying. But, you look pretty good. You saved us. Thank you.
Kumatora: Nice to meet you. And, thanks! I don't know your situation but
thank you for saving us. Wes, how about you fill him in?
Wes: Ok, I'll explain everything. Lucas, are you interested? (YES/NO)
You see.................and that's it. Lucas, you should head back to
Tazmily . I'm Claus will be back soon as well. Help your father to
protect the village. I'll do everything in my power to help you.
Princess, the monkey is now your responsibility. And searching for
the dunderhead.
Kumatora: Lucas, I have a feeling we'll meet again. See you. Monkey, let's
go.
"Tazmily Village is changing exactly as the peddler had planned it.
Only very few of the villagers noticed that once good things in the
village were being abandoned. The village was becoming more prosperous
but the eerie darkness had also grown thicker.
However, in that darkness, a once weak boy tried to become stronger.
Lucas, is trying to paint this tragic story with a bright future.
The darker the night becomes, the sun becomes that much brighter. The
wheedling Lucas is now becoming that sun."

Frog: From today, you'll be able to save all the rewards that your hard
work bring. This is called DP (Dragon Power). DP can be used at
stores for merchandise or services. Now you have 30 DP saved up.
Talk to a frog when you want to withdraw or deposit DP. There are
some frogs in special places which won't be able to help you with
that, though. Do you want me to explain it again? (YES/NO) Well

* *
* Pig-Mask: Your house gets hit by lightning but you still refuse the Box *
* of Happiness. Does that mean you like to be unhappy? *
* *
* Old Man: OH, this place is so boring and it stinks of salt air and *

* Ally: Lucas, Cheese! *

* *
* Man: I think the Inn that was here up until 3 years ago felt newer than *

* *
* Man: Tamekichi, the bass player from the band DCMC, gives good *

* *
* Pig-Mask: You're the kind of person who likes to approach other people. *
* No,no. I'm not saying it's bad. I think it's important. *
* *
* Pig-Mask: I heard that there used to be pigs and cows on the training *
* ground to the south-east. Yokuba was the one who bought the *
* land. *
* *
* Bessie: I can't believe how much our Inn has changed since Yokuba came *

* *
* Old Man: Just to think, this village didn't have the Happy Box *
* until three years ago. *
* *
* Boy: There's a girl here who is soooooo hot. I wonder what her name is? *
* *
* Punk: I'm in a luxury hotel but I'm feeling really jittery. It's because *

* *
* Pig-Mask: This is our training ground. What do ya think? Aren't we manly? *
* *
* Colonel Pig-Mask: So, you want to join our army? First, you have to eat *
* a lot and put on some weight. *
* *
* Pusher: Hey, Lucas. The lightning loves to strike your house, doesn't it? *
* It's been burned and charred but you still live there. It's *
* taking its toll on the image that the village has going here. *
* Your grandpa is living in that brand-new Silver House. Where is *

* *
* Policeman: Huh? There didn't used to be any policemen in this town? You *

* *
* Boy: All I did was pick up a doorknob and they charge me with larceny. *
* Huh? Where is the doorknob? I don't know. Maybe they sent it to the *

* *
* Boy: Over there is a house that can move. It was built to suit any *
* occasion. There's a guy there always wearing a knit cap. That person *
* can hold on to any items that you don't need for you. It's better *

APPROCH THE TRAIN...
Bronson: What are you talking about, Jackie? There's no way what you're
saying is true.
Jackie: Duster disappeared three years ago, right? Nobody knows where he
is. No doubt about it.
Bronson: I doubt your no doubt about it. Hey, Lucas. Hmm? It's nothing.
Well, at the Club TitiBoo in Gohba there was a bass player
who looked just like Duster. Jackie thinks it is Duster.
Jackie: He really looks just like him. I think we should tell Wes about it.
Bronson: If it's true then great, but if you're mistaken, you'll get Wes's
hopes up for nothing. Who we saw was a man who looks like Duster.
That's it. Let's hurry home and watch our Happy Box and eat dinner.
Jackie: I second dinner. I'm starving.
Bronson: See you, Lucas. Say hi to Flint for us.

HEAD BACK TOWARDS THE CENTER OF TOWN. WES APPEARS.
Wes: Yokuba! Stop messing up this town more than you already have. Today's
lightning was very suspicious. I've watched you control the
lightning. Get out of here! Don't get involved with this town ever
again.
Yokuba: Wes, that blue vein in you forehead is popping. Why do you run from
happiness? Do you want to go bald? I have no idea what it is you
came here to say. Now be careful not to fall down and hurt yourself,
or go even balder.
A PIG-MASK CATCHES WES WITH A NET.
Wes: Stop the insanity! I'm a man, not a bug.
YOKUBA SEES LUCAS.
Yokuba: Lucas, stop trying to sniff me out. Stay out of my way! Lucas,
If you would just put a Happy Box in your house, you could become
as happy as these folks here. How long must I wait for that day?
HEAD TO WES'S OLD HOUSE AND TALK TO WES.

* there? *
* *
*****************************************************************************
Wes: Lucas, I'm embarrassed you had to see me like that before. That
Yokuba....I'm not a bug, you know. He tries to treat me like I'm a
stag beetle or something. Huh? Someone who looked just like Duster?
That turkey....Lucas, I'm going to lower my voice and tell you a
story. I'm sorry but, could you go and check whether that person
really is Duster or not. I've been marked by Yokuba's henchmen and
can't move freely. Please. Look for the dolt. If you find Duster,
release this pigeon as a sign.
Pigeon: Ooooooo! (The time has come for me to make my mark on the world.)
Wes: Thanks Lucas. Like I said before, I've been marked.
GO TO THE TRAIN STATION AND WALK EAST ALONG THE TRACKS THROUGH THE TUNNEL.
Man: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wai----t!! I'm not sure what you're up to,
but do you plan on walking through this tunnel? It'd do no good to
try and stop you, so I'll give you this. (Map of the tunnel) Do you
know what the scariest enemy in the tunnel is? It's not the
chicken-snakes or the mushroom-dogs. The answer is the train. The
train is the most dangerous. Be careful not to get hit by the train.
GO THROUGH THE TUNNEL. WHERE BONEY BARKS AT THE WOMAN'S CLOTHES, CLIMB THE
LADDER FOR THE HOT SPRING. IONIA IS ALREADY SOAKING.
Ionia: Ahhhh.....I'm naked!!! Wait, aren't you the boy I met three years
ago at
ago at Aolia's house? You said you were going to kill the thing
that killed your mother. You're not? That's strange. My name's
Ionia. I'm a Magypsy. This is the Magic Butterflys' area. I
always come bathe here when I've used too much PSI. Are you here
for the same reason? What? You don't know what PSI is? That's
strange. I can feel magic power coming off you like a cloud.
Wait...just a little longer. Don't fight it. Hold out just a little
bit more. Almost there. O----------K!
"Something has awoken inside Lucas."
"Lucas learns Life-up."
"Lucas learns Healing."
"Lucas learns PK (insert the thing you selected as cool at the beginning of
the game)(I chose random and it came up PK LOVE)"
"Lucas can now use PSI."
Ionia: What! You've mastered PK Love, a power that no Magypsy has ever
been able to use. You are great. I don't know where you came from
and I'm not sure where you're going but I'm sure we'll meet again.
Please tell me your name.....I see. Lucas. Thanks, I'll remember
it. Now go, I'm boiling in here.
CONTINUE YOUR JOURNEY THROUGH THE TUNNEL.
Tutoriole: Tweet!! (Hi, have you noticed? If you dash at weak enemies,
you can send them flying. Doesn't it feel good? Have you made
it a habit? However, it doesn't count as a battle so you can't
collect those things commonly referred to as experience points.
Oh, you knew that? You're not just pretending to have know when
really you didn't, right? Oh, you're not. Well, in parting...)

You want to go to club TitiBoo? That's a place for the people who
work here to relieve their stress. It's not a place for people
who don't work to go to. If you really want to go there, why don't
you come work for us? So, you want a job? (YES/NO) Ok, then
listen up. Your job is to transport Clay Guys. First, go all the
way to the back. Go down the ladder and there'll be a Clay Guy.
He's low on energy so bring him up top. Bring them up one at a
time. Bring three and you are finished. Here, I'll give you a map
of the area. Also, please fill out the name on this form. Not your
name. The name of...that. That thing...behind you...your guardian,
you know...the p-p-p-p-p-player of this game. Please write it with
letters of the alphabet and make it look really cool. _____?
Is that how you read that? Ok? (YES/NO) Well, _____. I have you
on file. If you do anything bad you'll cause trouble to _______.
Don't forget it. And good luck. Wait, dog! We also have jobs for
dogs to do. You have to go listen to the orders from the dog in
charge. The Clay Guys with low energy look really weak, you'll be
able to easily spot them. Ok, go get 'em.

Skinhead: Aren't you that boy who was just here with the dog? And you look
kinda doggish.
Bearbeard: Something stinks here. Where'd your dog go and where'd this
doggy boy come from? Plus, you both look underage. Something
stinks like puberty and dog.
Skinhead: Now that you mention it...something is off. Suspicion alone is
grounds for punishment. That's the way we do things around here.
Go home. Go home little brat and dog-faced boy!
Bearbeard: No, let's punch them out right here.
A WOMAN ENTERS.
Yoshi-Koshi: Oolala, if isn't a woefully underage looking young man and a
strikingly canine looking boy. Were you mistaken as such?
Skinhead: Huh? Are these friend of yours, Yoshi-Koshi?
Bearbeard: Even if they are, something's still smells fishy. Especially
this dog-boy. Shake! Come on, boy, give me your paw. Hey, don't
turn away from me! Maybe you haven't been trained on that yet.
Boney: Woooooo. (I can do it but...)
Bearbeard: He does look like a dog but, I guess he's not. If, by chance,
you really are a dog...you'll be a good dog to shake hands
with. Haha.
Skinhead: Have a good time inside and let all your worries melt away.
Bearbeard: Hey, boy...have a good time.
Boney: Woof! (That was close!)
INSIDE THE CLUB...
Yoshi-Koshi: Without changing your expression, listen up. I'm wearing a
lot of girly clothes but it's me! We met in the Telly forest.
I'm Kumatora. I'll explain everything later. Now, smile.
Good. DCMC's set is just about to start. Go on in and try to
get a seat.

Boney: Woof! (If we keep walking around, the encore is never gonna start.
Let's sit.) (YES/NO) (Walking like this is making my dogs
tired.)
Yoshi-Koshi: Can I get you something to drink? ......water?
Thomas: Who the heck is ordering water I thought to myself and it turned
out to be Lucas. Water...hahahah. Yoshi-Koshi, get that young man
a hard soda. And get his dog-looking friend a Metropolis Soda.
It's all on me, of course.
Yoshi-Koshi: Yes, sir. A Metropolis Soda and a Hard Soda.
Thomas: I'm surprised to see you in a place like this.
Yoshi-Koshi: Thanks for waiting, here's your drinks. And now, without
changing your expression, listen up. I have a lot I want to
talk to you about after the concert is over. When it's over,
look for me in the lobby. I'll come to meet you there. Later.
Idiot! I told you not to change your expression. Enjoy the
show. Hehe.
Thomas: Hey, Lucas, what were you talking with Yoshi-Koshi about? You're
pretty good with the ladies, aren't you? Oh, it's starting!
OJ: Tondagossa! Are we rocking your world? Oh my pork! Look at the time.
Nantekoda! Now for our last song of the evening. This is King P's
Theme.
DCMC ROCKS OUT ON KING P'S THEME.
Boney: Woof! (My ears are ringing.
GO TO LEAVE THE HALL.
Girl: DCMC's soulful music is always the bomb. Would you like a DCMC
pamphlet as a souvenir of your time in Club TitiBoo? (YES/NO) The
die-hard fans love these things. Make sure to cherish it.
IN THE LOBBY TALK TO YOSHI-KOSHI.
Yoshi-Koshi: This way.
GO DOWN THE LADDER.
Yoshi-Koshi: Over here. Don't dawdle.
GO THROUGH THE TUNNEL AND UP THE LADDER.
Yoshi-Koshi: (in the shower) That tunnel is really convenient but I get
so dirty whenever I use it. Plus I get the sticky stuff from
the snails on me. I'll be out of the shower soon. Make
yourself at home. (after her shower) The room is all yours.
You two should take a shower. There's also a hot spring. We
can talk when you're done. (YES/NO)
"After the showers were taken, the three talked for many hours about
their lives over the last three years. About the monkey that they
saved and the Hummingbird's Egg they took from the castle, and which
and since gone missing. About the fact that an amnesiac Duster is now
a member of DCMC. And also about how much Tazmily has changed and
suspicious army...
In attempt to put together some of the scattered pieces of this jigsaw
puzzle, they talked about everything and anything. The upcoming
battles, they knew, would not be easy. That was the one thing that
they all already understood.
'I want to be strong.'
Lucas has come to truly feel this in his heart."
Yoshi-Koshi: And that's how I finally ended up here. But until Duster
remembers who he is, the Hummingbird's Egg will remain lost.
We have no idea if it will or already has fallen into the
hands of the Pig-Masks. Lucas, try talking to Duster and see
what happens. Maybe he'll remember something if you meet with
him. There's a guard outside. He's not an enemy, but I don't
want to alert him to anything. Use this ladder to go through
the attic to Duster's room. It's the long way but it's also
the safest. I'll gather the members of DCMC. I guess I'll
have to explain everything to them. Good luck.
GO UP THE LADDER TO THE ATTIC.
MAKE YOUR WAY THROUGH AND TALK TO THE BASS.
Bass Consumed with Jealousy: I am, as you can see, a wood bass. I'm still
in good condition. But ever since that bass downstairs came
here, I've been shut up in this dank, damp attic. It drives
me crazy. I've got all this anger built up that I need to
unleash upon you both. No offense, just stress release, you
see.
DESTROY THE THREE INSTRUMENTS AND GO DOWN THE LADDER.
Yoshi-Koshi: Took you long enough. I'm talking to the band members now.
OJ: Tondagossa! You're trying to take Tamekichi away from us, huh?
Tamekichi: Tondagossa. Who are you?
Yoshi-Koshi: This is the person I was telling you about that you know,
Duster.
Tamekichi: Duster? It is true that I don't know my real name. I've been
going by Tamekichi for the last few years.
Yoshi-Koshi: Got it, Tamekichi. If it's OK with you, please tell us all
you remember.
Tamekichi: Fine. I understand that it's important...Before I came to Club
TitiBoo, I lost all of my memories. I didn't know who I was or
where I came from or where to go. I didn't know anything. All I
know was that I was holding an egg of some kind. It seemed
important somehow. Not knowing where to go I just set off
walking. All I knew was that the Egg was something of great
importance. And that I had to protect it at all costs. So, I
searched for a place to hide it. I walked and I walked, far away
from the prying eyes of men and hid it in a lump of earth in a
valley. I haven't forgotten where it is. If you climb a cliff
that's next to a huge waterfall...
Yoshi-Koshi: That's (Hitoshirazu) the Unknown Valley. Duster, that's where
the egg that you protected is. We have to go there. The sooner
the better, too.
Tamekichi: But, am I really Duster? If I really am that Duster then I have
no choice but to leave the band. Is that what you're saying?
Today, now, either Duster or Tamekichi will go away for good. Is
that right? If I am Duster, what will happen to DCMC? If I keep
living as Tamekichi, what will happen to the Egg? What should I
do? Don't make me decide.
Shimmy Zumizu: That's not something you can decide. All you can do is
listen to your destiny.
Patch: If destiny decides, I will smile and bid you farewell.
OJ: Destiny...let's try listening to destiny. There's got to be a way.
We'll just do what we always do when we're looking for what to do.
Tamekichi: Paper, rock, scissors?
OJ: Yeah, Lucas against us. If he wins five times you have to go with him.
But, if he loses once you have to stay here and play bass with us. How
are those conditions?
Tamekichi: 5 wins? Sounds good to me. Is that fine with you?
OJ: When you're ready let's begin. It doesn't matter in what order you
challenge us.
CHALLENGE THE BAND.
Magic: Whenever I play with Zumizu, we always do the same move. Shall we
begin? (YES/NO) 1....2....3! Ahhh, you win.
Patch: Shimmy always does rock as his first move. It's up to you whether to
believe me or not. Ready? (YES/NO) Tondagossa. You waited to long.
We've got destiny riding on this match, so let's put our hands out
at the same time. AH......I lost. Destiny's on your side.
Shimmy Zumizu: Most people here have a move that they always start out
with. And Patch usually loses to Magic. You ready? Oh
sorry, I was a little slow there. My apologies. Do over.
Ah! I lost. It was a spirited loss.
Tamekichi: When Magic the Leader and I play this game it always ends in
a tie. Ready? (YES/NO) I wonder if I should win...no, I'll
leave it up to destiny. 1..2..3! I lost. I guess destiny was
telling me to lose.
OJ: When Magic, Patch and I play this game we always get a draw. I guess
I'm your final obstacle. Let's go! I am the band leader, after all.
Ready? (YES/NO) If I win, Tamekichi stays with DCMC. If you win, he
goes with you. Tamekichi...are you fine with that?
Tamekichi: I want to believe in destiny. If I'm meant to go then he will
win. If not, then he'll lose and I'll stay here.
OJ: Got it. Lucas, you should put out scissors. I'm planning on doing
paper. Tongossa, let's do it! Ah, I see, it's destiny. Tamekichi
probably really is this Duster fellow. Go, and don't worry about us.
We'll be fine.
Kumatora: I think the place where Duster hid the Egg is in the Unknown
Valley. There's not much left for me to do around here anymore.
OK. I'm going to go change out of these girly clothes. Everybody,
thanks for everything. Take care. (in the distance) You're in the
way! (Sounds of her smacking someone)
OJ: Tamekichi....Duster, I guess. You were a smokin' bass player. I'm
gonna miss you. I hope we meet again.
Magic: See you again, man.
Shimmy Zumizu: Don't forget the time you spent with us.
Patch: Tamekichi..............
Duster: My memory still hasn't come back, but I'll go with you. Let's
go.
OUTSIDE THE ROOM.
Kumatora: I took care of all the bodyguards. Let's get out of here.
NEAR THE ENTRANCE...
Duster: ....?
Kumatora: What's the matter?
Duster: Someone's on the stage.
"Bon Voyage, Amigo.
Here's hoping that someone in heaven watches over you
on our journey.
We spent some good times together laughing.
Oh, someone in heaven above please know,
that those smiling faces were our favorite things.
Bon Voyage, Amigo."
Duster: Tondagossa....Thanks, everyone.
DUSTER TAKES OFF THE WIG AND SETS IT ON THE GROUND.
Duster: Thanks for waiting. Shall we go?
Kumatora: First to the Unknown Valley.
LUCAS RELEASES THE PIGEON.

CHAPTER 5 - THE LIGHTNING TOWER
============================================================================
A FLASHBACK OF DUSTER PUTTING THE EGG INTO A CLAY GUY.
BACK IN THE PRESENT...
Duster: If we go straight from here there should be a hole. I hid the Egg
in the hole. Lets search around there.
ENTER THE TUNNEL.
Mole: I'd be happy to share all the things I've gathered with you. Like
earthworms. Wanna see? (SHOP)
LEAVE THE TUNNEL AND MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE HOLE IN THE GROUND.
Duster: Yes. Yes. It was a hole just like this. But...were there really
this many of them? Well, one of them has to be the right one. I
guess we have to randomly jump down them.
CHECK THE FIRST HOLE...
"Anna Osolo's hole. Finished in the spring of 2006."
FALL DOWN THE HOLE AND CHECK THE SIGN.
"The moles built a dungeon? Mole tunnels are not used solely as a dens.
They are also used to trap insects, which are used as food, that get lost
inside. Large scale mole tunnels measuring more than 100 meters are not
rare. If you can, please take time to observe the moles."
*****************************************************************************

*****************************************************************************
* *
* Mole: Hoi, hoi, hoi...are you lost? This tunnel as changed so much in the *
* last three years that you can't even tell it's the same place. It's *
* natural to get lost down here. The harder we work, the more *
* complicated this place gets. Here's hoping that the ground above is *
* someday completely full of holes. Hahaha. *
* *
* Mole: Ladida. You know, I'm not really all that worried if the surface *
* gets all holey or not. Holes are holes and the ground is ground. *
* That's the way it should stay. They're compatible with each other, *
* I think. That's why I'm not busting my hump like the others. Ladida.*
* *
* Mole: Digging holes is so much fun! Sure, it's tiring, but it's really, *
* really fun. I hope this place is all holes someday. *
* *
* Mole: Hoi, hoi, hoi...what's the weather like up there? Huh, sunny? What *
* does that mean? Cloudy? So it's cloudy then? Coooool. Sunny...no, *
* cloudy! *
* *
* Mole: Long, long ago, there was a really lazy mole in this tunnel. He *
* never dug holes of his own but instead stood in the holes that *
* people dug, and made sounds like he was working. I wonder what *
* happened to him. Oh, forget I said anything. Oh! That's right, he *
* lived happily ever after. *
*****************************************************************************
LEAVE THE TUNNEL.
Duster: This is it. This is the place. I hid the Egg in that earthy person
over there. Yes! It's still there.
THE CLAY GUY IS ZAPPED WITH LIGHTNING.
Kumatora: Duster, are you OK?
Duster: Aaaaaa....I think I'm OK. What was that? Lightning? That was
close.
DUSTER INSPECTS THE CLAY GUY AGAIN, BUT THE CLAY GUY GETS UP AND RUNS INTO
THE FOREST.
Duster: He's still got the Egg!!
Kumatora: Let's go after him!
THE SIGN SAYS:
"The Tower of Peace and Love. Stay Away!"
A SHOT OF THE TOWER AND THE LIGHTNING RAY ON THE TOP.
Kumatora: You can see this tower from Club TitiBoo. I wonder what it's
for? More importantly, we've got to get that Egg back.
CHASE AFTER THE CLAY GUY. ENTER THE CLAY GUY FACTORY.
Pig-Mask: Hey, are you guys taking your masks off when you go to the
bathroom? I don't. Do you? You take it off in the toilet and
then when you're done you put it back on again?
Pig-Mask #2: Yeah, that's right. There's even a place to hang them.
Pig-Mask: You idiot! That's not for hanging your masks! That's for hanging
things like bags or umbrellas.
Pig-Mask #3: Really? This whole time I thought it was for our masks.
I was wondering why it was so hard to hang masks on.
Pig-Mask #2: (to Lucas) Hey, you. What are you looking at?
Pig-Mask #1: Ah! You're the...(runs away)
Blue Pig-Mask: Quiet down! What's all this racket about? Oh, ah, I'm very
sorry, Commander, but your strange attire will set a bad
example for my subordinates. We have a change of clothes
ready for you, so please put them on. I'll also need the
people behind you to change as well. Thanks you, sir.
THE PARTY CHANGES INTO PIG-MASK UNIFORMS.
Blue Pig-Mask: Now, that's more better. Please excuse me, I need to
get back to my work.
BLUE PIG-MASK LEAVES.
Duster: I think he mistook us for someone else. Let's find the Clay Guy
before they notice.
*****************************************************************************
* NPCs *
*****************************************************************************
* *
* Pig-Mask: I'm very sorry about that. *
* *
* Pig-Mask: I've been your admirer for a long time. But not in a bad way. *
* Here a small present from me to you. *
* *
* Pig-Mask: You may be wondering how the Clay Guys move. Well, we put *
* something in the clay. When it gets hit with an electric *
* shock, that little mound of dirt starts to move. Did that *
* answer your question? I'm still a little fuzzy on the details *
* myself. *
* *
* Pig-Mask: With Clay Guys that have gone wild, if you just let them be, *
* they'll eventually hit a tree or something and smash apart. *
* So, maybe you should just leave him be. *
* *
* Pig-Mask: Clay Guys are made out of regular clay, so we can recycle them *
* over and over again. Whoever thought of this system is a bona *
* fried genius. I wonder what his name was? Beany? Baboon? *
* Baklava? Bald Eagle? Hmmmmmm......I guess I forgot. *
* *
* Pig-Mask: When Clay Guys break down they take themselves to the dump *
* automatically. It really makes my job easy. *
* *
* Blue Pig-Mask: You...you're the Commander...! You're looking for a Clay *
* Guy? What? A Clay Guy gone wild? One of ours, you say? *
* Commander, I can assure you that here, in the product *
* development department, we have never once produced a *
* faulty Clay Guy. *
* *
* Pig-Mask: If you're looking for a faulty Clay Guy, I saw one running *
* around out back. You better hurry though, or he's bound to be *
* picked up by trash collection and sent to garbage dump. Tell *
* me, why are you chasing after a Clay Guy? What are you hiding? *
* You can't say? It must be something embarrassing. *
* *
* Pig-Mask: This is an Amazing Capsule. If you're tired you should take a *
* rest. *
* *
* Pig Mask: I saw a Clay Guy running super fast towards the exit. You *
* know, when Clay Guys are faulty they bring themselves here and *
* then are taken to the dump. It's sad in a way. *
*****************************************************************************
LEAVE THE BUILDING AND YOU SEE THE CLAY GUY BEING LOADED INTO A GARBAGE
TRUCK.
Duster: !!! This is bad. We've got to follow that truck.
MAKE YOUR WAY THROUGH THE TUNNELS AND A PORK AND BEANS TRANSPORT APPEARS.
Pig-Mask: Hey, watch out! What do you think you're doing? Oh! You're the
Commander, right? I'm terribly sorry. You have a look like
you threw something away by mistake. Am I right? If you're going
to the dump, you should use this thing. The dump is to the north-
east from here. I hope you get there in time to retrieve your
lost, and probably embarrassing, item. Let's try and avoid any
skidding accidents as well. Take care.
THE PARTY CRASHES AND TOTALS THE PORK AND BEANS. THE SCARY WOMANIZING
PIG MASK APPEARS.
Scary Womanizing Pig-Mask: Oh, Commander, sir. Are you injured? That guy
Yokuba is always littering this place with his banana peels. It's
easy to slip on them. Please use my Pork and Beans. *sniff*
*sniff* Hmm? Something reeks like dog and...*sniff* brat. Hey,
you're that kid from Club TitiBoo. You many be able to fool the
others but you're no match for my heightened animal senses.
FIGHT AND DEFEAT HIM.
S.W. Pig-Mask: You--You're pretty good. But don't think that this is over.
HE LEAVES BUT SLIPS ON A BANANA PEEL AS HE DOES.
RIDE IN THE PORK AND BEANS.

* Pig-Mask: If this catfish doesn't work a little harder we're not gonna *
* have enough electricity. If that happens, our already p.o'd *
* boss is gonna go ape. And if that happens, my head's gonna get *
* all bumpy and lumpy. So, good luck, catfish! *
* *
* Pig-Mask: Come to think of it...Yokuba has graced the Tower with his *
* presence. He's still the same as ever. *
* *
* Pig-Mask: Apparently Yokuba is on his way here. Commander! Weren't you *
* with him? *
* *
* Pig-Mask: Commander, did you change the members of your entourage? That *
* in the back kind of reminds me of a dog. Yep, sure looks like *
* a dog. Especially the way he walks. He's so cute. *
* *
* Pig-Mask: And now for today's weather forecast. In Tazmily , it will *
* sunny with periodic lightning. The Orishimo mountains and *
* Ooroko will see lightning as soon as we are ready. Something *
* like that. *
* *
* Pig-Mask: Recently I visited Tazmily for the first time. And then the *
* you know, the thing. Sorry, I'm not good with words. But, all *
* the houses of the people against us were scorched. Scorched? *
* That's a word, right? Anyway, we're pretty mean, aren't we? *
* *
* Pig-Mask: This is the room where we use the electric catfish to generate *
* electricity. *
* *
* Pig-mask: Uaaaa! Waiiii!!! OOOOAAAAAHHHH!!!! Lately the fish have *
* gotten used to our abuse. They don't even act surprised *
* anymore. WWWWWWAAAAAAAAA!!!!! *
* *
* Pig-Mask: Good luck, catfish. And I'll try not to eat you. *
* *
* Pig-Mask: Just now the catfish generated 10 kilo----oh, it's falling. *
* *
* Pig-Mask: Our boss is on the upper floors. He's really super-ultra-mega *
* scary. But, he's a super big DCMC fan so if you give him some *
* DCMC goods, he'll probably warm up to you. *
* *
* Pig-Mask: There's a part of the Lightning Tower that is always short *
* circuiting. It's dangerous so please keep clear of it. *
* *
* Pig-Mask: The schedule of the lightning to be released tomorrow has *
* just arrived so I have to stand here and program everything *
* in. Not even my dry eyes can slow me down. *
* *
* Pig-mask: Everything is fine...is what I really, really want to say. But,*
* the defense system in the center of the Tower is faulty *
* somehow. If someone sneaks in there, it'll make mincemeat out *
* them. That thing is really dangerous. *
* *
* Pig-Mask: If the generator is destroyed, this while tower will be *
* destroyed as well. That's why we have a special system in *
* place. In RPG language, it might be known as a mini-boss. *
* *
* Pig-Mask: Be careful not to get shocked. *
* *
* Pig-Mask: No suspicious persons have been through here, sir. *
* *
* Pig-Mask: How powerful is the lightning? It's like JUM-BLOOEY! It's *
* perfect. *
* *

TALK TO SCARY WOMANIZING PIG-MASK.
S.W. Pig-Mask: I see you made it all the way up here. Before I was in my
everyday clothes. That's why you beat me. Me in my battle
clothes, though, is a whole different story.
AFTER THE BATTLE....
Yokuba: Nuhahahaa. You probably thought that passing yourself off as the
Commander was working. But, to me eyes it's obvious. And the idiot
flying into the flame is...Lucas? I never thought it'd be you. I am
going to reap on you all the pain and agony that I got when Drago
sent me flying. Nuhahaha!!
THE PARTY CLIMBS THE LADDER AND RUNS AWAY.
Yokuba: There is no way they can escape. Nuhahaha.
THE PARTY IS BACK IN THEIR NORMAL CLOTHES.
Duster: I can more so much more freely now.
Kumatora: Yeah, but it looked good on you.
MAKE YOUR WAY UP THE STAIRS AND UP THE LADDER.
Marshmallow: My name is Marshmallow. This is King P's room.
(Apparently if you try and take her yo-yo, she'll attack you. I didn't do
this so I don't know what she says. Sorry)
GO UP THE LADDER AND KEEP ASCENDING.
LUCAS GET HIT BY A BOLT OF LIGHTNING.
Duster: Hey, Lucas, are you OK?
"Something awakens within Lucas"
"Lucas learns PK Flash"
KEEP ASCENDING UNTIL YOU COME TO THE GENERATOR ROOM.
Generator: AN INTRUDER IN THE GENERATOR ROOM. AN INTRUDER IN THE GENERATOR
ROOM. INITIATING DEFENSE SYSTEM! REPEAT! INITIATING DEFENSE
SYSTEM! ALL RELATED PERSONNEL TO YOUR POSITIONS!
DEEAT THE GENERATOR.
Generator: A MASSIVE MALFUNCTION IN THE GENERATOR! EVERYONE QUICKLY
EVACUATE THE AREA. REPEAT!
Yokuba: You! You destroyed my precious system.
THE PARTY RUNS AWAY.
Yokuba: High places attract smoke and idiots. Nuhahaha
CLIMB UP TO THE LIGHTNING BEAM.
Yokuba: You fools. There's nowhere left to run. I have to hand it to you.
You've done a pretty good job of mucking things up for me. If you'd
only obeyed us you could have had a happy life in Tazmily . (on
the phone) Good! Preparations are finished? I'll be done here
shortly. Put the Pig mother ship on alert. (to Lucas) This Tower
is no longer usable. But, it offered me this chance to deal with
you, once and for all. It might be a little much for three little
mice like you, but the King likes his theatrics. So, you are to
be blown to to smithereens along with the Tower.
THE PIG MOTHER SHIP ARRIVES AND A PIG-MASK LOWERS THE LADDER.
Yokuba: Well, it look my ride is here. Have a nice life. What's left of
it, that is. (on the phone) Ready. Destroy the Tower. (to Lucas)
Lucas, we've only known each other a short time. But, I'll never
forget you. Nuhahhaha.
YOKUBA SLIPS ON A BANANA PEEL AND FALLS OFF THE TOWER.
Kumatora: Grab on to the ladder!
Duster: Snake rope! It's your time to shine!
THE PARTY USES THE SNAKE ROPE TO GRAB THE LADDER. A STRANGE LOOKING CHARACTER
EMERGES FROM THE MOTHER SHIP.
Kumatora: Who's that?
Duster: They're trying to shake us off. Lucas! Kumatora! Boney! Hold on!
Snake Rope: Duster...it's me, the Snake Rope. I think I have some good
news for me and some bad news for you. The good news for me
is that for the past few moments, even though they were short,
I was the main star of the story. The bad news is that my chin
wasn't made to support the weight of three people and a dog.
So...my chin...is at it's....limit. Sorry.
THEY FALL.
"Moving puppets made from the ground. A tower that releases lightning.
A cordoned off highway. A flying ship.
The enemies that Lucas and his friends must face seem to be growning
colossally. Can they possibly defeat this evil and powerful foe?
No.
Common sense says that they have no chance at success. If they have but
a one in a million chance of success, they must use that chance to turn
the tables.
Lucas.
Kumatora.
Duster.
The three are separated yet again.
Can they once again combine their strength to overcome adversity and
their enemies?
The masked man looking down at them from the mother ship with the young
face is......?
With the premonition that the coming battle will surpass as that have
before it, we enter the next chapter.

CHAPTER 7 - SEVEN NEEDLES

Wes: (to Alec) He's having quite the sleep. Luckily, he wasn't hurt.
Alec: Oh, you're conscious. Boney's as fit as a fiddle, as well. In my
dream, Hinawa told me to quickly gather a bunch of straw. Your
mother saved you.
Wes: Sure is strange. Alec has a dream of Hinawa telling him to build a
haystack in that spot and then you fall into it. Yep, sure is
strange.
LEAVE THE ROOM AND ALEC COMES OUT.
Wes: Wasn't Duster with you? (YES/NO) Hmmm, I see. Then I guess I don't
need to worry. I'll let Wes know. Lucas, I see that you've met my
friends, the Magypsys. I know how they look, but they're people you
can rely on. I believe that they'll help you.

came out. I rock! Sorry to bother you, but could you help me up?
Thanks. I had just taken my make-up off and looked hideous when I
was attacked. Hey! You're that boy I met at the hot spring
a while back. Apparently we are connected by some thread of destiny.
I've been wondering about you ever since I taught you how to use
PSI. What the Magypsys have been waiting for tens of thousands of
years for is....you, right? I bet you sense it as well. "That time"
is getting closer. It's all right if you don't know what I mean. I'm
not a 100% sure myself. Oh! They attacked me....wait, you don't
suppose...Aolia! I wonder if Aolia's safe. I don't have my
make-up on, so I can't fly. I guess I'm stuck walking like an
idiot. Oh well, I better get going, even if I do have to walk. You
should come, too. We'll go to Aolia's house. What do you think?
(YES/NO) Great! Let's couple our powers and do something fantastic!
I don't mean that in a bad way. If he take this river upstream we'd
be there in no time...Everyone. I know you didn't understand
anything we just talked about. But, it is now time for us all to go
up the river. Come on!!

HEAD SOUTH TO THE GUYS WITH A BOAT.
Man: Hey, we just got this awesome boat! Do you want a ride?
AFTER YOU GET OFF THE BOAT...
Man: You know, we're really psyched to have this boat. We didn't have one
before.
GO TO AOLIA'S HOUSE.
Aolia: Oh, what happened? Ionia, you could have at least put your make-up
on.
Ionia: Aolia, what are you talking about. I was attacked. And I was
worried about whether or not you were safe and that's why I'm here.
Aolia: I'm fine-------! And as beautiful as ever. Why don't you untie
yourself from that rope?
Ionia: Ah! I was in such a hurry that I forgot all about it. Shocking!
Lucas, please get me out of this rope as fast as you can. Man, I'm
dense.
LUCAS FREES IONIA. IONIA LOOKS AT HIMSELF IN THE MIRROR.
Ionia: Hello, beautiful! Hmmm, no make-up. You know, I look pretty hot
even without it.
TALK TO IONIA.
Ionia: Hold on a sec, hon. Ionia is getting himself bea-u-tiful! OK,
finished.
Aolia: Urgh. I guess you can have that lipstick now. Using that lipstick
now would be like kissing you. And I don't kiss other girls.
Ionia: Hmm, something's not right. What is it? What is it? What is it?
What -------- is ------------ it?
AOLIA'S HOUSE STARTS TO SHUDDER AND FLASH DIFFERENT COLORS. AOLIA'S BODY
STARTS TO DISAPPEAR.
Ionia: Aolia!! Your body! Your body! Your body! It's disappearing!
Aolia: Hmm? Oh, you're right. I'm disappearing. Wait! I'm disappearing!!
I'm fading away, yet I still feel fine.
Ionia: Why are you disappearing?
Aolia: The needle at Osohe Castle, the one that I have protected all
these year, has been taken by someone. A person capable of removing
the needle has finally appeared. The dragon of darkness, sealed
away by the seven needles, awakens.
AOLIA LEVIATES THE TABLE AND REVEALS A HIDDEN PASSAGEWAY.
Aolia: That passageway will take you to the inner garden of Osohe Castle.
If the needle really has been removed, my time here is short.
There's something I need to know. Did one with the heart of
darkness remove it? Or was it someone with a heart of light. The
fate of the world depends on the answer to that question. I guess
today's my day to disappear. Ionia, and you boy-something and
dog, Bye-pee--------
Ionia: Aolia! Such a clean person....I guess that's why we got along.
Well, how about we take this passage to the castle?
GO THROUGH THE UNDERGROUND PASSAGE AND INTO THE GARDEN.
Ionia: It really has been removed. But I have no idea who took it. It's
said that the dragon of darkness is reflected in the heart of the
one who removes the needle. But, I don't see a sign
of anything here. Neither good nor bad. Is it possible that there
is a person in this world without a soul? If the dragon of darkness
remains sealed away for eternity....No, the possibility still
lingers. You were able to learn PK LOVE, right? So that means...
you...I haven't explained anything to you. Oh me. I need to tell
you about the needles.
The first thing I want you to know is that this island has been
specially protected. This island co-exists with an unlimited power.
That power is the dragon. The power of the dragon sleeps in the
darkness under this island. The dragon is stupendously large. It's
pretty much the same size as the island. Because the dragon sleeps,
this island is protected from calamity.
However, the power of the dragon is too large for humans to
control. That is why our Magypsy ancestors long ago forged the
needles and made the dragon sleep. There is one needle for each
Magypsy. We've been watching over these needles for countless many
years.
Now, someone has appeared to wake the dragon. It is said that he
would come when the power of the dragon became necessary. If the
one who calls forth the dragon has a wicked heart, the dragon's
power will obey him. If he so wishes, he could destroy anything and
everything.
Needless to say, we are hoping for the opposite outcome. If one
with a pure heart removes the dragon's needle, that power will
become an ally and everything wicked will be washed away. His life
will shine with brilliant light. That is what is said.
Please, just a little more...
If one of the Magypsys' needles are removed, our 10,000 year life
will be over, and we will vanish. It's kind of romantic, if you
think about it.
There's one more thing I want to tell you. The only one who can
remove a needle is one who has learned PK LOVE. It's not something
that even the Magypsy can do. Which means that you are the chosen
one. Ta da!
GO SOUTH AND A PHONE ON THE GROUND RINGS.
Pig-Mask: C-c-c-c-commander, please come quickly. We found the location of
the next needle. And some monkeys. Urg, the monkey's opening it.
It's so irritating. I'll call back later with more information.
Please hurry to the Chimera Lab. You know where the Chimera Lab
is, I presume. (YES/NO) No? Commander...you're voice sounds
unusually chipper today. Yeah, um...take the train from
Crossroad Station to Gohba. Go west from the ropeway station.
Did you sufficiently understand? (YES/NO) Good, then there's
no problem. But, please make haste.
**You got the transceiver**
TALK TO IONIA.
Ionia: That staircase over there is a shortcut back to Tazmily . Please
go. I need to protect my needle. I know we'll meet again. If we
never meet again, it means that either you or I are no longer in
this world. Bye-pee.
LEAVE THE CASTLE AND HEAD SOUTH. BONEY BARKS AND LEADS YOU HINAWA'S GRAVE.
NIPOLITE IS THERE WAITING.
Nipolite: Lucas, have you seen your father? You must have missed him. He
was just here paying his respects to your dearly departed
mother. He must have headed off into the mountains again to look
for your brother. He looks and looks for Claus and then visits
her grave, and then looks and looks for your brother and then
visits her grave...that's what your father's life has become.
Your his solace. You've grown up to be a strong young man. One
that your father doesn't have to worry about. You're a good son.
Ah. Here. Your father gave me this to give to you in case you
came here. It's a good luck charm that he has cherished since he
was a boy.
**You got the Badge of Courage**
HEAD TOWARDS TOWN AND YOU GET A CALL ON THE TRANSCEIVER.
Pig-Mask: C-c-c-c-commander, where are you? Iowa? Sorry, I'm talking
nonsense. Everyone is waiting for you at the Chimera Lab. I'm
not there myself. I forgot how to get there. I know the words...
Take the train from Crossroad Station to Gohba. Go west past the
ropeway. Except, I have no idea where the pork I am! Commander,
are you OK? Oh...I see the Lab. Definitely taking the train from
Crossroad to Gohba was a great idea. Then I went west past the
ropeway. Brilliant.

"That" one is gonna be a chore. We're done in this room. Let's
hurry and block the entrances and exits. Everyone, be on your
best guard. Now, cute part-timer, there's one more creature
left, and it's more dangerous than the one you just faced. If,
while you're searching for the monkeys, you should come across a
red thing with a large mouth, run away as fast as you can. I'm
sorry to repeat myself but whatever you do, do not confront a
red, large-mouthed chimera. Got it? You can't say I didn't warn
you. I should probably give you another piece of advice while
I'm at it. If you don't take the time to talk to frogs, it can
be very dangerous. You could croak. Well, be careful.

worried about you. Doria keeps saying that Duster is probably
all right as well. I think so, too.
Doria: Ionia told me that you were coming here. The needle that I protect
is there, under the water. It'll take some work to get to my
needle. If still don't know if you're really capable of removing
it. But, in order to access the needle we need to take all that
water and transfer it to this empty hole. To thee west is the
Chimera Lab, right? There is probably some junk there that we can
use to transfer the water. Please have a look.
HEAD BACK TO THE LAB. TALK TO PROFESSOR DONUT.
Professor Donut: Young man, thank you for before. What? You're looking
for a way to move all the water in one pond to another?
I can see in your eyes that you have been entrusted with
this mission. I'll help you out...
...Have a look. I chose some of the chimeras that I
have developed in secrecy. Please take the ones that look
like they may be of use to you.
EXAMINE THE MIDDLE CREATURE...
Professor: Those are the Bucket twins. I used the Clay Guy technology but
instead used flour to create these two. They utilize the latest
in high technology. They work hard. Will you use them?
BACK AT THE POND...
Doria: These two look like they'll be perfect for moving the water. Look at
how hard they work.
"Will you have them work a little more?" (YES/NO)
SELECT NO AND THEY GO AWAY.
Doria: If we had a year to do it, those two would be perfect for the job.
Hmm. That's too bad.
BACK AT THE LAB....CHOOSE THE FIRST CREATURE.
Professor: This is Dry Guy. He uses a jet engine to move the air. He's the
latest in dryer chimera technology. Whether you have long hair
or an afro, a flat top or asian beauty, he'll dry you right up.
Will you use him?
BACK AT THE POND...
Doria: Wow, what is it!! It looks perfect for the job.
THE DRYER CHIMERA BLOWS ON THE POND.
Doria: Hey, it's drying. It's drying the water!
"Will you make it keep working?"
Doria: We're not having any luck today. Too bad.
BACK AT THE LAB CHOOSE THE THIRD CHIMERA.
Professor: Ah. That...that's the Pump Chimera. He's boring. He's a really
uninteresting chimera that's only good for things like moving
the water of one pond to another. Do you want something as
prosaic as that?
BACK AT THE POND.
Doria: Wow, what is it!! It looks perfect for the job.
THE CHIMERA STARTS DRINKING UP THE WATER.
Doria: It's sucking! It's sucking up the water! The water level is
falling. More! More! Look! Look at how much water he's shooting
out. It's pouring out.
THE NEEDLE IS EXPOSED AND THE CREATURE LEAVES.
Doria: And then it calmly goes back home...he leaves the stage and
majestically strolls the flowery path home....what an elite
actor. Bravo, I say. To Pump!
Ah! Over there. It's the needle. One of the 7 needles sealing away
the dragon.
HEAD INTO THE PIT AND CHECK THE NEEDLE.
Doria: If you really are what Ionia says you are, you'll be able to pull
out the needle. I'm so happy that I get such a good view of this
scary, yet exciting moment. I'm nervous beyond nervous. Go ahead,
pull it out. In front of me...as hard as you can.
Kumatora: If you pull out the needle, will Doria disappear like Aolia
did?
Doria: That's right...my role of protecting the needle will be over. But,
if "THAT TIME" hasn't come he won't be able to pull it out. So, if
he does pull it out, it means that "THAT TIME" has come. That is the
destiny that the Magypsys have happily existed with all these
years. So, don't worry about me dying. I'm just fading away in
accordance with my destiny. It's a joyous thing. I have many
memories, which makes this kind of a lonely feeling.
"Will you pull out the needle?" (YES/NO)
"Something awoke inside Lucas."
"Lucas learns PK Loveβ."
Doria: This is the beginning of the end. "THAT TIME" has finally come. I
never dreamed that the time to remove the needles would come while
I was still a young, innocent girl. To disappear while I'm still
young and beautiful....well, it's nice in a way. Kumatora, go with
Lucas and make sure of everything. And please don't forget the
young, beautiful me that is now disappearing. Please take this as a
memento. I leave the rest to you. Good bye---------.
DORIA DISAPPEARS.
Kumatora: Long ago I heard this from Ionia: When the dragon sleeping under
the island wakes, all life and all time will be reborn. I'm sure
what's going to happen, but I want to be there and see it to the
end. Lucas, can I go with you? I want to. We have to find Duster
and that shining egg.
"Kumatora joins your party."
Kumatora: Salsa, I know that we just met again after a long time, but I'm
afraid we have to say good bye again. What is that face you're
making? You're a sentimental monkey, I guess. (to Lucas) Let's
go! To the next needle! (to Salsa) You are your girlfriend be
happy, OK?
KUMATORA TURNS TO LEAVE BUT SALSA PULLS HER BACK
