Golden Sun: The Lost Tale --- Piers joins the party this chapter! Hurray! --- [Studio] Piers: Alright, this should be fun. Jenna: Kibombo, huh? At least we aren't rushing it. Sheba: There is a lot of rushing going on, isn't there? Felix: Yeah... Director: It's a long game! We don't have all the time in the world! Jenna: Uh... sure... [Kibombo] Jenna: Well, we're back at Madra... Guy 1: Ack! Strange people! Kraden: *sigh* You people aren't very friendly. Guy 2: Oh, it's you people. Hey, that Piers guy? Totally not a Champa. Whoops. Also, some people from Kibombo attacked us and stole Piers's precious orb so he went after them. Sheba: Well, let's go to Kibombo then! *Felix, Jenna, Sheba and Kraden go to Kibombo. However, it's almost deserted.* Jenna: Where the heck is everyone? Felix: Hello? Sheba: Shouldn't there be a festival? Random villager: The festival is tonight. Felix: Oh... we're early. I guess that's what we get for rushing like this. Sheba: Have you seen any blue-haired guys? Random Villager: Nope. Jenna: Great... I guess we just sit and wait... The Adepts stay at the inn and then spend all day waiting, then the festival begins. Luckily, they have already gotten special seats before the crowds block them off, right up on the hill. Felix: Look! That guy with the weird hair has a black orb! Jenna: Doesn't it look like the crystal Saturos had? Sheba: It's an ugly statue... what IS it? Kraden: I think it's an ape or something. Jenna: It does kind of look like a monkey? Piers: Who the heck are you? Sheba: Wah! Where did you come from?! Piers: I've been standing here the whole time. Jenna: Really? o_o Felix: Uh... Sheba: He doesn't seem to remember us... isn't that weird? Jenna: No kidding. He was in jail! You don't get a lot of visitors in jail, right? Piers: Oh, I remember now... you were those people... Kraden: We heard your orb got stolen. Piers: Please help me get it back. Felix: Aren't we meant to show off our Psynergy or something first? Jenna: Let's just help! Piers: Thank you! ^_^ And after this, we can stay together and you can use my ship! Kraden: Yay! Director: *sobs* I hate this rushing... Jenna: Let's go and ask for it back. Piers: Thought of that. There's no way to reach him. Akafubu: Silence! Great Gabomba, accept my gift! *uses Lift on the Black Orb* Piers: He's an Adept! Felix: Didn't see that one coming... Akafubu: He's not responding. Dance, you fools! *Kibombo soldiers start dancing the Macarena* Sheba: What... the... heck?! Jenna: The Macarena? Ew! Kraden: That is the worst dance I have ever seen. Piers: I think I've gone blind... Felix: T_T Why are they doing such an awful dance? Jenna: Let's take the back way! Sheba: Agreed. *Felix, Jenna, Sheba, Piers and Kraden sneak into the statue from the back. After a long time playing on the gears, they eventually reach the circuit room.* Sheba: Ooh, a puzzle! Jenna: This looks fun! Felix: Luckily, we got the Pound Cube somehow despite not having to chase a certain Djinni for it... Kraden: We must solve this puzzle so that the statue works. *They almost completely solve the puzzle, but get one block wrong.* Akafubu: I'm gonna try again! *lifts the Orb* Gabomba: *does the googly eyes thing* Akafubu: WAAAAAH! MOMMY! Guards: EEEEEEEEK! He's mad at us! We're all gonna die! Akafubu: WAAAAH! Dance harder, dance harder! *realises they are dancing the Macarena* WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Random guard: Uh, should we not dance the Macarena? Guard 2: I told you the Macarena sucked! Guard 3: Blame that guy! It was his idea! Akafubu: The hustle, you fools! Do the hustle! Random guard: *sniff* I like the Macarena... *is stabbed by angry Kibombo villagers* *The Kibombo guards dance the hustle instead, kicking aside the random guard's dead body* Kraden: Let's do the puzzle right this time... *They finally complete the puzzle properly.* Akafubu: One more time! =D *lifts the orb* Gabomba: O_O *blows a raspberry and swallows the orb* Akafubu: YAY! It accepted my gift! =D *Felix and company have moved to the room below.* Piers: MY ORB! MY DARLING ORB! Jenna: It slid down this groove... Felix: Maybe it's under the statue! Sheba, can you reach it? Sheba: *suddenly teary* I'm not that small! Jenna: O_o With your hand! We're not asking you to crawl through! Sheba: Oh! *peers down* There's light! Kraden: Maybe there is a room behind it then and the orb must be there. Akafubu: Who are YOU? Kraden: Akafubu! Akafubu: What are you doing here? Piers: Please give us back our orb! Akafubu: No! Piers: We are strong and mighty warriors. Felix: Hand it over! Akafubu: *sniffle* Jenna: *raises her rod threateningly* You're asking for trouble.... Akafubu: Ok, ok, fine! *Akafubu smacks jewel into mini statue and it slides. He goes down and the others follow him.* Gabomba: Ah, Akafubu. Here, have a rubber ducky as a sign of your office! Akafubu: YAY! I like rubber duckies! =D *runs off with the rubber ducky* Felix: *snatches the Black Orb and hands it to Piers* Piers: Yay! My orb! *Felix, Jenna, Sheba, Piers and Kraden leave Kibombo and head back to Madra, where they see a red-haired pointy-eared girl.* Karst: Where could Menardi have gone? Felix: o_O Menardi?! Karst: >=( Have you seen a girl named Menardi? Sheba: Who the heck would name their kid Menardi? Karst: >=O Are you saying she's dead?! Jenna: Yes! Karst: Piss off! Piers: Uh, we should do what she says! *The Adepts go into the house and chat to the Mayor, who gives them the Cyclone chip then they go out of the house.* Karst: Felix?! Felix: Yikes! Karst: Didn't I hear the Mayor call you Felix?! Why didn't I see it before now? You're Felix! Jenna: Maybe you're blind? Karst: Grr... *looks around* If you're here, then where's Menardi? Piers: Who IS Menardi? Sheba: I'm afraid you'll never see Saturos or Menard ever again. You see, Isaac killed them! Jenna: *smacks a hand over Sheba's mouth* BE QUIET! You stupid.... drat..... too late.... Sheba: Mwahaha... >=D Jenna: Why did you do that?! Karst: Hmph! I heard that, you wretched little thing! Sheba: >_> Jenna: Ugh... Karst: =\ Saturos and Menardi are really gone? Kraden: Yes, which part of 'Isaac killed them' did you not understand? Karst: Impossible =\ Yet... she would never leave you lot alone.... Jenna: She did in the Venus Lighthouse u.u; Karst: Where is this Isaac? I must find him... Kraden: =\ How do you know Felix didn't do it? Felix: O_O I never had the motive to... Jenna: Now that's not such a bad idea... wait, Isaac beat us to it... Karst: HAHAHAHAHA! I can gauge a man's strength at a single glance! Felix never could do it! Felix/Jenna/Sheba/Piers: ._.+++++****** Karst: Besides, he knows that if he did it, the lives of those he holds dear would be endangered... where can I find Isaac? Felix/Jenna/Sheba/Piers/Kraden: .................. Inu: Arf, arf, arfy arooo! Jenna: QUIET! Sheba: *mind reads Inu* O_o He says that Isaac killed his brother.... Piers: Why is that monster here?! Kraden: Jenna wanted to keep it... Karst: You would protect Isaac?! Never mind, I believe I have been hearing rumours of someone named Isaac. We shall find him, and the last thing he sees will be Karst, avenging the death of her dear sister! *rushes off* Piers: Sounds like Isaac is in trouble... Jenna: Did she say 'we'? Kraden: Maybe she also has a travelling partner! Felix: What do we do now? Jenna: =\ I'd say we'd warn Isaac but... Piers: But what? Felix: Isaac is trying to stop us..... unleashing cheese or something like that. He does not want the beacons lit. Kraden: Well, we should go. Piers: Yes. Let's go to my ship and set sail. *Felix, Jenna, Sheba, Piers and Kraden leave Madra, only to be stopped by three rather familiar thieves.* Brigand: Stop right there! Thief 2: We heard you mention that little punk, Isaac! Thief 1: My face's only just healed from that awful incident! Brigand: You two, shut up and let me do the talking for once! Thief 2: Isaac is going to pay for this! Thief 1: And so will that kid who harmed my hair! Kraden: Um, what are you two talking about? Felix: They don't look like much... Brigand: Well, you see, we stole some kid's precious staff. Sheba: You mean this? *holds up the Shaman's Rod* Thief 1: *gasp* That's the one! Thief 2: Why do they have it though? Brigand: And some punk called Isaac came along, and aided the kid, and there was another person with them, and the three of them beat us up! Kraden: What does that have to do with us? Thief 2: Where is Isaac? Jenna: Like heck we would tell you! Piers: We honestly do not know where Isaac is... Kraden: Why does everyone keep asking us where he is? Felix: Maybe I should just buy a crystal ball... Brigand: Fine! If we can't find Isaac, we'll beat up his friends! Jenna: O_O You mean... US?! Thief 1: What if my hair gets ruined?! Brigand: Think of it as something close to revenge for what happened to your hair! Thief 1: Yes! Thief 2: Let's get them! I'm gonna kick your asses! Thief 1: We're gonna show them they are nothing but a bunch of kids! Felix: *sigh* What did we ever do to deserve this? Sheba: Don't make me cast.... Jenna: >=) Do it! Piers: Huh?! Sheba: SPARK PLASMA!!! *casts Spark Plasma on Brigand and thieves* Brigand/Thief 1/Thief 2: YEEE-OWWWCH!!! NOT AGAIN!!! Piers: Very impressive, Sheba! Brigand: *whimper* You defeated us... Thief 1: My hair... my face... no... Thief 2: What the heck are you? Wandering sheriffs or something? Kraden: Uh, no... Thief 2: So you aren't going to toss us in jail?! =D Felix: Well, didn't you commit crimes? Jenna: You really should be in jail, you know! Thief 1: No! They don't have hairbrushes in jail! Brigand: Look, just take these and pretend you never saw us! Brigand throws the Golden Boots at Felix and the thieves flee in fright. Piers: Now shall we go to the ship? *Felix, Jenna, Sheba, Piers and Kraden go to the ship and fight a lot of monsters before they finally reach the room with the pedestal. Piers puts the black orb in the pedestal and the ship leaves the shore. They return to the deck of the ship.* Piers: Felix, take the tiller, you should learn how to use a ship! =D Felix: Okay! =D Jenna: I want to travel a lot! Can we go to Vault, Kalay, Bilibin, Kolima, Xian, Tolbi and Lalivero? Oh, and Vale! Can we go to Vale too?! Felix: o_O Sheba: You really do want to travel a lot... Piers: Yeah! I want to see your hometown! Can we see it?! Felix: Yeah! Lets go to Vale! =D Kraden: No! Felix/Jenna/Sheba/Piers: What? Why? D= Kraden: Well, we can't get to Vale because the middle part of Angara is surrounded by mountains... and I don't think we should go to Gondowan... Felix: Oh, that's right! Saturos and Menardi went absolutely crazy! Jenna: And we were with them... Sheba: ..... Piers: So we can't then? Kraden: No... Jenna: But we could try! Maybe Faran and the other Laliverans would understand if Sheba talked to them! Sheba: Then they would make me stay there! Is that what you want?! Inu: Arf! *nods* Sheba: *glares* Felix: No, Sheba! We need you for the Jupiter Lighthouse! =O Sheba: ... Piers: Felix, I think you should have just stopped at 'We need you'. Jenna: Yeah. Felix: >_>; Oh. Whoops. Sheba: T_T So I'm just a tool?! Jenna: Drat... guess we can't go home... Piers: But look! The rest of Weyard awaits! Lets go! Sheba: I'm sure there's even more out there, waiting for us to find it! *The ship sails onward, and they go around to Yallam.* Random person: Welcome to Yallam! Our blacksmith is famous! ^_^ Jenna: A blacksmith? o_O Random Person: Yes! His name is Sunshine! Sheba: Sunshine?! Piers: You are my sunshine... my only sunshine... Jenna: *cackles* Sunshine? A guy named Sunshine? Random Person: Yes! >=O *stomps away angrily* Kraden: Really, can't you hold your mirth? Look at Felix, he- Felix: *suddenly explodes with laughter* Kraden: On second thoughts, don't... Inu: Ar-ar-ar-arf!!! Sheba: Hey, is that a playground over there? Jenna: Cool! A playground! =D Piers: I suppose it might be worth checking out! Felix: Heh... heh... yeah! Kraden: I do not think it important, but whatever... *Felix, Jenna, Sheba, Piers and Kraden go to the playground and look horrified as they see children playing in a bogged down wasteland, filled with papers and assorted rubbish.* Jenna: What happened here? Kid: It was a huge tidal wave! =O Sheba: But the tidal wave wasn't supposed to have hit Yallam, was it? o_O Felix: Who knows? Kid: Want to hear one of Yepp's songs? Jenna/Sheba: Yeah! Felix: Oh no... Piers: I do not mind... Kraden: This place is absolutely filthy! *sits on a tree stump sulking* *The kids walk to a certain place in the playground, and form a line, with Felix, Jenna, Sheba and Piers at the back. They walk around the playground singing.* Everyone: If you want to go the soggy bit of parchment, To the soggy bit of parchment, Go north past the broken candles, passing two shoes, and run twice around the torn shirt, Haste past waste, and go to the east, past three go north, Run round thrice and wait for the dust bunnies. When they stop and clap, run north and go to the soggy bit of parchment! If you race full of folly and go the wrong way, you'll surely find yourself a dustbin! If you want to go to the broken vase, to the broken vase, Face west from the soggy bit of parchment and run straight past three shoes, then circle round twice. Haste past waste, and head to the south, then one shoe west. There, run round thrice and wait for the dust bunnies. When they stop, run south and go for the broken vase. If you race full of folly and go the wrong way, you'll surely find yourself a dustbin! If you want to go to the rusty piece of steel, to the rusty piece of steel, Face south from the broken vase and and run straight through two shoes, then circle 'round twice, Haste past waste and head to the west, then six to the north. There, run round thrice and wait for the dust bunnies. When they stop, run north and go for the rusty piece of steel! If you race full of folly and go the wrong way, you'll surely find yourself a dustbin! *The song ends, and the group leaves the playground.* Felix: That was the stupidest song ever... Sheba: It was dangerous too... Jenna: Never thought I'd find myself dancing through rubbish... Piers: Someone should be scolding those kids... Kraden: Hmm... we need something else to do! I know, let's go and do the nifty elemental rocks! *Felix, Jenna, Sheba and Piers do Airs Rock, skipping Garoh completely, then they go and do Aqua Rock, before heading to Izumo and Gaia Rock.*
