Since people seemed to like my Phantamanta quest, and I got a nominee for Best Quest, I figure I should make sure my hard work doesn't get lost forever... It is a tale of triumph, tradegy, and epic proprotions. So, here is the Quest for Phantamanta!
I forgot I had to do a quest for Phantamanta, so here we go.
Quest Name: Go for the Ghost.
Details: Search out and find Phantamanta, and get him to join our ranks. Also, try to claim a shine sprite or two while you're there (Are those availible now?)
Intro: Alright troops, we really need a boost in this war, so I'm sending all you bandits to go and find this fabled Phantamanta. Legend has it that he's a ghostly silhouette of a manta who can multiply and overwhelm his opponents. Chompy will be leading you. Phanta's last known location was somewhere on Isle Delfino. Go there with caution, anything could happen. Also, I hear he has a Shine Sprite. If you see any of these, or he gives you his own, take it immidiatly without question. Good luck.
QUEST LOG:-
Chompy: Wait, you want ME to lead 3,000 bandits to Isle Delfino? Why not yourself?
Tut: I have to stay here and protect the base.
Chompy: Fine. But how are we gonna get there? We can't swim.
Tut: Simple. Go to Toad Town. Then go to the harbor. Steal a ship or two, and there you go. To get back, well, take your ship back.
Chompy: Ok, Ok. Move out troops!
*Chompy and 3,000 bandits set out to Isle Delfino. They're base wasn't far from Mt. Rugged, so it was only a little while before they got to the mountain without trouble.*
Chompy: Ok, we're here. Uhh, now what?
Balin (One of the Head Bandits): You've never been to Mt. Rugged before?
Chompy: I've never been allowed outside that ruins until now. Tutankoopa forbade it.
Balin: I see. Well, we need to climb over Mt. Rugged to get to the Train Station that leads to Toad Town.
Chompy: Oooo, a train. Nice touch. Say, couldn't we go around this mountain.
Balin: No can do. It's quicker to go over believe it or not.
Chompy: Well, it's still early in the day, let's make some progress.
*They make their way up a small part of the mountain, when they were suddenly confronted by a large bird*
Buzzar: Well, look what we got here! A bunch of Bandits, and some Half Robot, Half Chomp guy. What is your business here?
Chompy: Who's this freak?
Balin: (Whispering) He's a sheriff who used to work for Bowser long ago. Now he stops outlaws from coming or going. And that means us, but not you, persay.
Buzzar: Name's Buzzar, and I stop all dem outlaws from comin' through this here joint. And I recon that you all are good-for-nothin' outlaws! But, who's this here feller with you? That Robo-feller?
Balin: (Whispering) Tell him you are Luigi, with an Italian Accent.
Chompy: Why? Oh fine. Hey-a Buzza, I'm-a Luigi, numba one!
Buzzar: Luigi again? You sure come through here alot. You can pass, but these bandits, no way.
Balin: What? But we're, uh, ummm.... Shy Guys! Yeah, that's it.
Buzzar: Shy Guys? Where are your masks?
Balin: Uhh, we left them, uhh, in Toad Town?
Buzzar: Oh. Well, in that case, you can pass.
Balin: It worked? I mean, thanks a bunch, Buzzar.
Buzzar: Sure thing, Mr. Shy Guy.
*They moved across the bridge and a little more after that, to escape the eye of Buzzar*
Chompy: Seriously, that guy is really, really stupid.
Balin: Yeah, we know.
Chompy: Well, in any case, let's take a little break here. It's already past midday, and I'm pooped.
Balin: We haven't even traveled far. But, I guess we need to regain our strength to get past the rest of the mountain. All troops, we camp here until furthur notice.
Chompy: Hey, you make a pretty good leader. You'd make a great captain.
Balin: Thanks, mabey Tut will promote me. Anyhoo, we'd better get some rest as well.
Chompy: I second that.
*Troops rest on Mt. Rugged until later*
Chompy: Hey, I'm getting a call from Tut.
Balin: Well, pick it up already.
Chompy: Hello?
Tut: Hello Chompy, I need to tell you something.
Chompy: I'm listening.
Tut: It seems Isle Delfino, the place where you were headed, was destroyed long ago. Phantamanta had moved prior to it's destruction, and now resides somewhere in a place known as Rougeport. And not the city itself, but it's sewers.
Chompy: Why couldn't he go to Toad Town Sewers.
Tut: Probably to make your life difficult.
Chompy: Yeah.... I'll be moving out soon.
Balin: So?
Chompy: Isle Delfino was destroyed, so now we are headed to Rougeport Sewers.
Balin: Rougeport? Do we still need a boat?
Chompy: Yup
Balin: Awww. Well, let's wait a bit longer then.
QUEST LOG:
Chompy: Everyone! Get up! We march now!
Bandits: Ugghhhh....
Balin: Now come on guys, we have a mission to complete.
Chompy: Yes, and plans have changed, as we now are headed toward the Sewers of Rougeport. So, let's get a move on, boys!
*They all start marching, which wasn't to dificult because most of the trip was gradually downhill. They stop within eyesight of the Train Station.*
Chompy: Holy Chomp! I can see the Train Station! We're almost there.
Balin: Holy Chomp? Uh, ok then. Well, we better get down there.
*Suddenly, a blue mole appears from the ground*
Whacka: Whaaack-hoo! I'm Whacka! Just another picture-perfect day atop Mt. Rugged! Wooo!
Chompy: Oh my goodness, it's a Diglett!
Balin: What in theivery is a Diglett?
Chompy: Tis' a Pokemon!
Balin: And that is what?
Chompy: Nevermind.
Whacka: Well, I don't know what in Whacka a Diglett is, but I do know that you fellows look like a perfect bunch o' people! And, even better, I can tell you that the only way to---
Chompy: DIE DIGLETT!!! (Chompy headbutts Whacka)
Whacka: Owowowow! You guys are mean!!! (Retreats back into ground, leaving a Whacka Bump)
Chompy: WOW! It's Diglett's Brain!
Balin: You idiot! It's a Whacka Bump. It is a very rare and valuable item. It also tastes pretty darn good.
Chompy: Too bad I'm a robot... I can't eat that stuff.
Balin: Yes, well, you see, Whackas are an endagered species, and so are protected my the government....
Chompy: So...?
*Suddenly, a Toad in a Police Uniform comes up to where they are*
Toad: Do you men know it is against the law to attack Whakas?
Balin: Well, sorta, but you see....
Toad: No more questions! All 3,002 of you are under arrest!
Chompy: I don't think so... Bandits. ATTACK!
*The single Toad didn't stand a chance against 3000 bandits, and died*
Balin: You do realize we are wanted men now, for killing a police officer.
Chompy: Really?
Balin: Actually, he's the only policeman in the region, so nobody will probably find out anyway.
Chompy: Well then, to the Train!
*They travel to the Train*
Chompy: Wow. There's people here. I haven't seen people in forever!
Balin: Yes. Well, we have a bit of a problem. That train is a two seater. We have 3002 people here.
Chompy: What? Who the heck builds a Train that only holds 2 people at a time?
Balin: These guys do. But that's no problem. There's a really long rope over there.
Chompy: So?
*Balin ties 1000 bandits together in the string, and then ties it to the train*
Chompy: Uhhhh.......
Balin: Don't worry, now we only need to make 3 trips.
Chompy: Well, if you say so. ALL ABO--- Wait! Won't the train driver be suspicious if there's 1000 bandits tied up behind his train?
Balin: I tied him up in the corner over there.
Chompy: Ohh. ALL ABOOOAAARRDD!!!!
*The train travels to Toad Town, with the bandits dragged along. This repeats two more times for the rest of the bandits.*
Chompy: Well, we're finally in Toad Town. I'm tired, though. How bout' a rest?
Balin: Good idea. I would get us a room in a Toad House, but having 3000 extra bandits with us is very inconvinient. Why did we bring them all again?
Chompy: Hey, if we run into any fights, or Phantamanta himself puts up a fight, we'll be thankful we have them.
Balin: I guess your right. ALL TROOPS! WE REST HERE!!! SET UP CAMP PRONTO!!!
Chompy: Well, I'm gonna catch a few z's. Wake me up when we're ready, ok?
Balin: Will do.
QUEST LOG:-
Balin: Dude. Duuuuuude. Wake up!
Chompy: *Yawn* What?
Balin: It's time to head on over to Rougeport or whatever.
Chompy: Hmm? Oh. Oh yeah. Hey, uh, troops. Get up.
Balin: That won't wake 'em up. You gotta be forcefull. WAKE UP YOU BANDITS!!!
Bandits: Uhhh....Unnn?
Balin: Useless.... Hurry up, we gotta get a move on.
Chompy: Mmm, so anyway, are we headed for the docks?
Balin: Yes we are. There should be plenty of boats for the stealing.
*Chompy, Balin, and the Bandits head over to the docks of Toad Town.*
Chompy: Wow... I can't belive there's only one ship here. What's it say on the side of that ship?
Balin: I think it says, "Peaceful Pirates*.
Chompy: That's a dumb name for a pirate crew. Pirates are evil, not peaceful. They go, "Arrrrgh", "Yaarrg", and "Fire on the Poopdeck!" That simply REEKS of evil!
Balin: I think they mean they are good guys. Must be some fancy-pants language kids use nowadays.
Chompy: Yeahh... But I get the honor of talking to them.
Balin: Sure, go right ahead.
*Chompy Walks up to the leader of the Peaceful Pirates, Scrubb*
Chompy: Hey man, what's goin on round here?
Scrubb: Hello good sir, and might I say that is a wonderful smile you have!
Chompy: Uhh, thanks? But, who are you guys?
Scrubb: Ahh, a fine question deserves a fine answer! We are the Peaceful Pirates. We roam from city to city, making peace and chasing away evil. We despise Lord Bowser and all of his doings. But we are no match for him. If he were to appear, we would have no choice but to flee.
Chompy: So your saying, Bowser would be enough to scare you off this extremely large ship?
Scrubb: Basically.
Chompy: Interesting.
*Chompy heads back to Balin*
Balin: Well?
Chompy: What do you think about his hair? I personally find it a warmer color, but it could be confused with a colder purple...
Balin: I MEANT ABOUT HIS SHIP YOU IDIOT!!!
Chompy: Whose ship?
Balin: You really are starting to---
Chompy: OH HIS SHIP!
Balin: YEAH!
Chompy: No idea.
Balin:...
Chompy: But they did say something about being afraid of hammers... No wait that's me. Oh yeah! They said they wouldn't stand a chance against... umm... Boozer? Boomer.... Bowser, yeah!
Balin: Ok, you are seriously screwed up in every meaning of the word. Anyway, how are we gonna scare them off that ship. It's not like we can pretend to be Bowser.
Chompy: Or can we...? Hey, Random Bandit #314! Go to this address and bring back what I write down.
*Chompy writes down an address and object to be retrieved and hands it to Random Bandit #314, who then leaves.*
Random Bandit #314: Yes, sir! On my way, sir!
Chompy: Good bandit. Now, what to do until he comes back...
Balin: What exacly is he getting?
Chompy: You'll find out soon. While we're waiting, let's play Pin the Coin on Random Bandit #2478!
Balin: Oooo! My favorite!
*They all enjoy a nice game of Pin the Coin on Random Bandit #2478. Within an hour or so, Random Bandit #314 returns with the aformentioned object, and some small cuts and bruises*
Chompy: WOAH! YOU GOT IT!
Random Bandit #314: Yeah, but really, it was patheticly easy. Nobody was even there.
Chompy: Then how'd you get the cuts and bruises.
Random Bandit #314: Oh, that's when I slipped and fell off the walkway in the Koopa Bros. Fortress. Luckily, I held on, but Random Parakoopa #56 kept kicking me, until I jumped on him.
Chompy: Nice.
Balin: WOAH! THAT THING IS AWESOME!
Chompy: Time to see if it works. Hurry, though. Them Pirates are almost ready to leave the port.
*They all head to the docks*
Chompy: Ok Balin, get in.
Balin: Awesome! I get to drive this baby?
Chompy: Hey, no one calls Mecha Lord Bowser a baby. But yes, you drive. We'll watch.
Balin: OK!!! *He heads over to the boat*
Balin: Buahahahaha! I am the evil Lord Bowser! Bow down to my Lord Bowserness!
Scrubb: EEEEEEEEEEKK! LORD BOWSER IS HERE! SCRAMBLE THE PIRATES! SCRAMBLE THE PIRATES!
*All the Peaceful Pirates Flee to.... somewhere.*
Balin: Wow, it worked.
Chompy: That was awesome!
Random Peaceful Pirate #256: Uhhhh....ummmm.... I uh, I'm not sc-c-cared to f-f-fight y-y-you!
Balin: Yes! Time for the Fire Breathing Special Effects!
*Activates Fire Breath, but all that comes out is a peice of cardboard, with the word "Fire" written on it.*
Random Peaceful Pirate #256: AHHHHH!!!! RUN AWAAAYYY!!!
Chompy: Even better, my man! Those special effects could of scared even me away!
Balin: *Get's out of Mecha Bowser* I know right? Top Notch Bowser Suit as well!
Chompy: Indeed! Now, let's get on that boat and rest until morning. We could probably all use it. Well, not really, becasue I didn't even do anything, but still. Our random bandits need some rest. See ya in the morning!
Balin: See ya then. BANDITS! SLEEP MODE! NOW!
QUEST LOG:
Chompy: *Yaaaawn* Mornin' everyone!
Balin: Hey. How goes it?
Chompy: It's all good. This Peaceful Pirates ship has very comfortable bedding. Anyway, I sent out some Bandits to steal supplies for our trip to Rougeport.
Balin: Good call there...
*Meanwhile, in a Toad Town Store...*
Random Bandit #15: HEY!! THIS IS A ROBBERY!! PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!!
Goomba Staff Member: But I don't have hands....
Random Bandit #15: No complaining! Just hand over all the goods.
Goomba Staff Member: I can't hand it over if I don't have hands. Lemme get my lawyer...
Random Bandit #15: Huh?
Toad Lawyer: Hello. My client, Goomba Staff Member, has complained he doesn't have hands in which to hand over aformentioned items. Do you agree with this statement?
Random Bandit #15: Well I---
Toad Lawyer: Thank you. Now, please sign here, here, here, not there, and here.
Random Bandit #15: Uhhh, ok. *Signes Paper*
Toad Lawyer: Thank you. Now, we shall get some handed staff to hand over the aformentioned items. Good day, sir.
Random Bandit #15: Uhh... yeah... you too. *Gathers all the goods in the store*
Goomba Staff Member: Thank you for shoping Goomba Gallery! We hope to see you again in the near future!
Random Bandit #15: Riiiiiight.
*Back with Chompy and Balin*
Random Bandit #15: Hey, I got the goods. Man, people in this town are WEIRD.
Chompy: Tru Dat. Now, let's load up this crap and set course for Rougeport!
Balin: Right-o. But, lemme slap on a sticker over that Peaceful Pirates Logo. You know, to intimidate our foes. *Put's a big sticker over the logo*
Chompy: You know, I don't think people will be scared of a sticker that says,"Blue Rabbits".
Balin: But there are so many people in the world who have Blue-rabbit-o-phobia nowadays.
Chompy: True. All right men, set sail!
*They start sailing to Rougeport, but miscalculate the coordinates and land on Tiny Huge Island (From Super Mario 64, about 15 miles south of Rougeport.)*
Chompy: YAY! WE'RE HERE EVRYONE!
Balin: *Getting off boat* Ahh, the sweet smell of accompli--- Wow. I didn't expect Roguepot to look like this. Where's the port? And the Rougeness?
Chompy: Mabey we're on the wrong island. Let's get back on the boat.
Balin: Can't. We landed so far in, only the Highest Tide will take us back into the ocean. That should be in a few days.
Chompy: Well, it couldn't hurt to explore a bit...
Balin: Woah! A really, really, really small goomba! I didn't know they come that small. We should call this Tiny Island. In fact, everything on this island is out of proportion. We are giants!
Chompy: Yeah! Hey, let's go down that Warp Pipe over there.
Balin: Good Idea!
*Chompy and Balin go down the pipe, leaving the bandits behind.*
Chompy: Hmmm, what could possibly be in--- OH CHOMP! EVERYTHING IS HUMUNGOUS!
Balin: Yeah, your right. AHHHHHHHH! GIANT BANDITS!
Chompy: How'd they get so big?
Balin: Actually, I think we shrunk. Crap. Well, let's just head on over to that Warp.... great. A Giant Goomba just squished it.
Chompy: Crap. Now we'll never get back to normal size.... Wait. Hold on. My sensors indicate there are two more Pipes on the island. Let's get a move on then.
Balin: Right. But, we need to hurry to get back before the Highest Tide.
Chompy: Ok. Let's see if fighting giants will be a problem, first. Hey Goombas! Over here!
Giant Goomba #1: Huh? Who said that?
Giant Goomba #2: I think those two little guys down there said it. What do we do?
Giant Goomba #3: SQUISH IT!
Balin and Chompy:............... AAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! *They Hide in a small cove where the Goombas can't squish them.*
Chompy: Yeah, this is gonna be a problem...
QUEST LOG:
*Back at the Tiny/Huge Island Scene*
Chompy: Yeaah, this this gonna be a problem.
Balin: W-w-what do we d-d-do?
Chompy: Mabey if we try and talk to them?
Balin: Y-y-yeah, y-you d-do that.
Chompy: Hey, you Goombas. I wanna talk to you!
Goomba 1: Huh? Who said that? Was it you?
Chompy: Yes. Why must you persist with the squishing of... us.
Goomba 2: Why, we are just ordinary, peace loving Giant Goombas.
Chompy: Then why did try to squish us?
Goomba 2: Oh, well, he.... has issues. But that's just him. Us two are normal. Well, at least I am, anyway.
Chompy: What are your names, dare I ask?
Goomba 1: Huh? Did someone ask for my name? Is my name Puzel? Is it? IS IT?
Goomba 3: SQUISH IT!
Goomba 2: Yes, well the first one is Puzel, he always questions himself and others. I am Norgoom, the only normal one. And that guy is.... well, he doesn't really have a name. We call him Squish. Because that's all he says. And he likes squishing things.
Balin: I suspect Blue-Rabbit-O-Phobia.
Norgoom: Ahhh. Anyway, what brings you small folk here?
Chompy: We are not small. You are tiny. We just went down a warp pipe, and now we are small. But, we got here because we got lost on our way to a different city.
Puzel: Why not go back down the pipe? Is that a good idea?
Chompy: Well, Squish sorta---
Squish: SQUISH IT!
Chompy: Yeah. Anyway, do you know where we should go to find the next warp pipe? We need to be normal sized before the Highest Tide.
Norgoom: Well, the next one is not far from here. It should be atop a windy platform, after you cross the Insane Lake. If that one doesn't work, head up the wooden platform nearby, avoiding the defense system. That would be cannonballs. But, the one near the cannon is locked. You would need King Wiggler's permission to use it, lest the previous one fails. Be careful traveling around. There is a small war around these parts, and lots of hostile folk.
Balin: Thanks. We appreciate the help.
Squish: SQUISH IT!
Chompy: Right. Let's go then.
*The two of them head under an archway, and find themselves at the point where land meets the Insane Lake.*
Balin: Woah. That's a big lake.
Chompy: Oh Chomp. I'm a robot, I can't swim...
Balin: Can you shell surf?
Chompy: Well, sort of, but I'm not that good. I mean....
Balin: Good enough. I see a lone large Koopa over there. If I can knock off it's shell, you can surf across.
Chompy: I could really use some Oil Fizz right about now....
Balin: Forget the Fizz! I'm thristy too, but we can't do anything about that, can we?
Chompy: Dude there's a lake right in front of you.
Balin: Yeah, well, goombas might have done their business here. Know what I mean?
Chompy: Weird. Don't people do business in an office or dinner room? Lakes seem so... dirty....
Balin: Gah! I meant business as in.... I mean yes. Lakes are dirty. That's why I'm not drinking from it.
Chompy: Ohhhhhhhh. So, what are you gonna do about that Lakitu Guard?
Balin: Well, you see this spiny here? *Hold it in front of Chompy's face*
Chompy: Yeah. So?
Balin: Make pretend it's a Whacka.
Chompy: Huh?
Balin: *Sigh*. Um... Make pretend it's a Diglett?
Chompy: Oh my goodness! It's a Diglett! DIE DIGLETT!!!
*Chompy headbutts the spiny so hard it hits Lakitu, and he falls off his cloud and drowns*
Chompy: Heyyyy.... Where's it's brain?
Balin: Uhh... he left it in Toad Town.
Chompy: Oh.
Balin: Anyway, while you be random, I'm gonna get that shell for ya.
*Balin swims to the small bay on a side of the lake, kills the Koopa, and brings back his shell*
Balin: Whew... whew... Here you go... a nice... Koopa shell...
Chompy: Awesome! How do I get in?
Balin: You idiot! You don't get in. You get on.
Chompy: Ah-ha! *He gets on, and the shell slowly moves across the water*
Chompy: AHHHHH!!! HOLY CHOMP!!! I'M GONNA FREAKIN' DIE!!! HELP MEEEE!!!
Balin: Get a hold of yourself, Chompy. You're going 3 miles an hour.
Chompy: BUT IT'S SOOOO SCARY!!!
Balin: *Sigh*
*After a while of screaming, ranting, and the occasional, "SQUISH IT!", heard from afar, they finally made it to the other side of the Insane Lake.*
Chompy: Ha! You call that a lake? That was kid's stuff, man! Whew! I feel pumped!
Balin: Yeah. Okay. So, where should we.... Hey, I see the Pipe!
Chompy: Me too! It's at the other side of the Windy Chasm! Hooray for pudding!
Balin: This is no time to be discussing pudding. But this topic of food reminded me... Here, put on this costume of a tender steak.
Chompy: Why am I in a steak costume?
Balin: Because. The giant birds here often pick up meat of any kind and carry it across the Chasm to store it. At least that's what Norgoom told me before we left. So they'll carry us across, and drop us off at the pipe!
Chompy: Where'd you get the steak costumes?
Balin: I think Squish gave them to me. I'm not sure why.
Chompy: Weird. Hey look! A bird! Act like steak!
Balin: Right.
*While they both... "act" like steak, a large Bird comes down and picks them up. He then heads toward the other side of the chasm.*
Mr. Bird: Mmmmm, steak. I might need to add a bit of steak sauce later on... I'll just steal some from Squish...
Chompy: Ha, this bird don't even know that we're not even steak! What a card!
Mr. Bird: Did the steak just talk? AHHHH!!! HAUNTED STEAK!!! THE EVIL STEAKLORD HAS RETURNED FROM THE GRAVE!!!
Chompy: Steaklord? Who the hell is the steaklo-AAAHHHHH!!!!
*Mr. Bird drops the two in the Chasm, and they scream as the wind carrys them swiftly in different directions.*
Balin: AHHHHH!!!! YOU!!!! IDIOT!!!!
Chompy: SOOOO!!!! RRRRYYY!!!! WOAHH!!!!
Balin: LEAN LEFT! LEAN LEEEFFFTT!!!!
Chompy: WHEEEEE!!!!!
Balin: YOURRRR!!!! LEEFTT!!!!
Chompy: OHHHHH!!! WHOOOOPS!!!
Balin: TUR!!!!! BULE!!!!! ENCE!!!!
Chompy: WHAAAAT!!!!
Balin: I SAID!!!! TURBULENCE!!!!!
Chompy: OHHH NOOOO!!!!!
Balin: WAAAHHHH!!!!
Chompy: *Thuds on ground* Ow! Yow! Pow! Woah! Ugh....
Balin: *Crashes into Chompy* Loooook ooouuut! *THUD*
Chompy: Unnnnhhh....
Balin: Uggghhhh....
Chompy: W..wow...that was... ugghh... dizzy.
Balin: Yeahhhh....
Chompy: Shake it off, Chompy. Ok, I'm good.
Balin: Whew. Yeah. I'm alright.
Chompy: Well, we made it to the other side... There's the pipe. No. NOOOO!!!
*A cannonball from a distant cannon accidently lands in the pipe and clogs it*
Balin: Great. Just when this mess was almost over, that happens. Well, I don't care, I am SO going to lay down. *falls asleep.*
Chompy: Yeah, me too. Let's pick up tomorrow morning... *falls asleep*
I forgot I had to do a quest for Phantamanta, so here we go.
Quest Name: Go for the Ghost.
Details: Search out and find Phantamanta, and get him to join our ranks. Also, try to claim a shine sprite or two while you're there (Are those availible now?)
Intro: Alright troops, we really need a boost in this war, so I'm sending all you bandits to go and find this fabled Phantamanta. Legend has it that he's a ghostly silhouette of a manta who can multiply and overwhelm his opponents. Chompy will be leading you. Phanta's last known location was somewhere on Isle Delfino. Go there with caution, anything could happen. Also, I hear he has a Shine Sprite. If you see any of these, or he gives you his own, take it immidiatly without question. Good luck.
QUEST LOG:-
Chompy: Wait, you want ME to lead 3,000 bandits to Isle Delfino? Why not yourself?
Tut: I have to stay here and protect the base.
Chompy: Fine. But how are we gonna get there? We can't swim.
Tut: Simple. Go to Toad Town. Then go to the harbor. Steal a ship or two, and there you go. To get back, well, take your ship back.
Chompy: Ok, Ok. Move out troops!
*Chompy and 3,000 bandits set out to Isle Delfino. They're base wasn't far from Mt. Rugged, so it was only a little while before they got to the mountain without trouble.*
Chompy: Ok, we're here. Uhh, now what?
Balin (One of the Head Bandits): You've never been to Mt. Rugged before?
Chompy: I've never been allowed outside that ruins until now. Tutankoopa forbade it.
Balin: I see. Well, we need to climb over Mt. Rugged to get to the Train Station that leads to Toad Town.
Chompy: Oooo, a train. Nice touch. Say, couldn't we go around this mountain.
Balin: No can do. It's quicker to go over believe it or not.
Chompy: Well, it's still early in the day, let's make some progress.
*They make their way up a small part of the mountain, when they were suddenly confronted by a large bird*
Buzzar: Well, look what we got here! A bunch of Bandits, and some Half Robot, Half Chomp guy. What is your business here?
Chompy: Who's this freak?
Balin: (Whispering) He's a sheriff who used to work for Bowser long ago. Now he stops outlaws from coming or going. And that means us, but not you, persay.
Buzzar: Name's Buzzar, and I stop all dem outlaws from comin' through this here joint. And I recon that you all are good-for-nothin' outlaws! But, who's this here feller with you? That Robo-feller?
Balin: (Whispering) Tell him you are Luigi, with an Italian Accent.
Chompy: Why? Oh fine. Hey-a Buzza, I'm-a Luigi, numba one!
Buzzar: Luigi again? You sure come through here alot. You can pass, but these bandits, no way.
Balin: What? But we're, uh, ummm.... Shy Guys! Yeah, that's it.
Buzzar: Shy Guys? Where are your masks?
Balin: Uhh, we left them, uhh, in Toad Town?
Buzzar: Oh. Well, in that case, you can pass.
Balin: It worked? I mean, thanks a bunch, Buzzar.
Buzzar: Sure thing, Mr. Shy Guy.
*They moved across the bridge and a little more after that, to escape the eye of Buzzar*
Chompy: Seriously, that guy is really, really stupid.
Balin: Yeah, we know.
Chompy: Well, in any case, let's take a little break here. It's already past midday, and I'm pooped.
Balin: We haven't even traveled far. But, I guess we need to regain our strength to get past the rest of the mountain. All troops, we camp here until furthur notice.
Chompy: Hey, you make a pretty good leader. You'd make a great captain.
Balin: Thanks, mabey Tut will promote me. Anyhoo, we'd better get some rest as well.
Chompy: I second that.
*Troops rest on Mt. Rugged until later*
Chompy: Hey, I'm getting a call from Tut.
Balin: Well, pick it up already.
Chompy: Hello?
Tut: Hello Chompy, I need to tell you something.
Chompy: I'm listening.
Tut: It seems Isle Delfino, the place where you were headed, was destroyed long ago. Phantamanta had moved prior to it's destruction, and now resides somewhere in a place known as Rougeport. And not the city itself, but it's sewers.
Chompy: Why couldn't he go to Toad Town Sewers.
Tut: Probably to make your life difficult.
Chompy: Yeah.... I'll be moving out soon.
Balin: So?
Chompy: Isle Delfino was destroyed, so now we are headed to Rougeport Sewers.
Balin: Rougeport? Do we still need a boat?
Chompy: Yup
Balin: Awww. Well, let's wait a bit longer then.
QUEST LOG:
Chompy: Everyone! Get up! We march now!
Bandits: Ugghhhh....
Balin: Now come on guys, we have a mission to complete.
Chompy: Yes, and plans have changed, as we now are headed toward the Sewers of Rougeport. So, let's get a move on, boys!
*They all start marching, which wasn't to dificult because most of the trip was gradually downhill. They stop within eyesight of the Train Station.*
Chompy: Holy Chomp! I can see the Train Station! We're almost there.
Balin: Holy Chomp? Uh, ok then. Well, we better get down there.
*Suddenly, a blue mole appears from the ground*
Whacka: Whaaack-hoo! I'm Whacka! Just another picture-perfect day atop Mt. Rugged! Wooo!
Chompy: Oh my goodness, it's a Diglett!
Balin: What in theivery is a Diglett?
Chompy: Tis' a Pokemon!
Balin: And that is what?
Chompy: Nevermind.
Whacka: Well, I don't know what in Whacka a Diglett is, but I do know that you fellows look like a perfect bunch o' people! And, even better, I can tell you that the only way to---
Chompy: DIE DIGLETT!!! (Chompy headbutts Whacka)
Whacka: Owowowow! You guys are mean!!! (Retreats back into ground, leaving a Whacka Bump)
Chompy: WOW! It's Diglett's Brain!
Balin: You idiot! It's a Whacka Bump. It is a very rare and valuable item. It also tastes pretty darn good.
Chompy: Too bad I'm a robot... I can't eat that stuff.
Balin: Yes, well, you see, Whackas are an endagered species, and so are protected my the government....
Chompy: So...?
*Suddenly, a Toad in a Police Uniform comes up to where they are*
Toad: Do you men know it is against the law to attack Whakas?
Balin: Well, sorta, but you see....
Toad: No more questions! All 3,002 of you are under arrest!
Chompy: I don't think so... Bandits. ATTACK!
*The single Toad didn't stand a chance against 3000 bandits, and died*
Balin: You do realize we are wanted men now, for killing a police officer.
Chompy: Really?
Balin: Actually, he's the only policeman in the region, so nobody will probably find out anyway.
Chompy: Well then, to the Train!
*They travel to the Train*
Chompy: Wow. There's people here. I haven't seen people in forever!
Balin: Yes. Well, we have a bit of a problem. That train is a two seater. We have 3002 people here.
Chompy: What? Who the heck builds a Train that only holds 2 people at a time?
Balin: These guys do. But that's no problem. There's a really long rope over there.
Chompy: So?
*Balin ties 1000 bandits together in the string, and then ties it to the train*
Chompy: Uhhhh.......
Balin: Don't worry, now we only need to make 3 trips.
Chompy: Well, if you say so. ALL ABO--- Wait! Won't the train driver be suspicious if there's 1000 bandits tied up behind his train?
Balin: I tied him up in the corner over there.
Chompy: Ohh. ALL ABOOOAAARRDD!!!!
*The train travels to Toad Town, with the bandits dragged along. This repeats two more times for the rest of the bandits.*
Chompy: Well, we're finally in Toad Town. I'm tired, though. How bout' a rest?
Balin: Good idea. I would get us a room in a Toad House, but having 3000 extra bandits with us is very inconvinient. Why did we bring them all again?
Chompy: Hey, if we run into any fights, or Phantamanta himself puts up a fight, we'll be thankful we have them.
Balin: I guess your right. ALL TROOPS! WE REST HERE!!! SET UP CAMP PRONTO!!!
Chompy: Well, I'm gonna catch a few z's. Wake me up when we're ready, ok?
Balin: Will do.
QUEST LOG:-
Balin: Dude. Duuuuuude. Wake up!
Chompy: *Yawn* What?
Balin: It's time to head on over to Rougeport or whatever.
Chompy: Hmm? Oh. Oh yeah. Hey, uh, troops. Get up.
Balin: That won't wake 'em up. You gotta be forcefull. WAKE UP YOU BANDITS!!!
Bandits: Uhhh....Unnn?
Balin: Useless.... Hurry up, we gotta get a move on.
Chompy: Mmm, so anyway, are we headed for the docks?
Balin: Yes we are. There should be plenty of boats for the stealing.
*Chompy, Balin, and the Bandits head over to the docks of Toad Town.*
Chompy: Wow... I can't belive there's only one ship here. What's it say on the side of that ship?
Balin: I think it says, "Peaceful Pirates*.
Chompy: That's a dumb name for a pirate crew. Pirates are evil, not peaceful. They go, "Arrrrgh", "Yaarrg", and "Fire on the Poopdeck!" That simply REEKS of evil!
Balin: I think they mean they are good guys. Must be some fancy-pants language kids use nowadays.
Chompy: Yeahh... But I get the honor of talking to them.
Balin: Sure, go right ahead.
*Chompy Walks up to the leader of the Peaceful Pirates, Scrubb*
Chompy: Hey man, what's goin on round here?
Scrubb: Hello good sir, and might I say that is a wonderful smile you have!
Chompy: Uhh, thanks? But, who are you guys?
Scrubb: Ahh, a fine question deserves a fine answer! We are the Peaceful Pirates. We roam from city to city, making peace and chasing away evil. We despise Lord Bowser and all of his doings. But we are no match for him. If he were to appear, we would have no choice but to flee.
Chompy: So your saying, Bowser would be enough to scare you off this extremely large ship?
Scrubb: Basically.
Chompy: Interesting.
*Chompy heads back to Balin*
Balin: Well?
Chompy: What do you think about his hair? I personally find it a warmer color, but it could be confused with a colder purple...
Balin: I MEANT ABOUT HIS SHIP YOU IDIOT!!!
Chompy: Whose ship?
Balin: You really are starting to---
Chompy: OH HIS SHIP!
Balin: YEAH!
Chompy: No idea.
Balin:...
Chompy: But they did say something about being afraid of hammers... No wait that's me. Oh yeah! They said they wouldn't stand a chance against... umm... Boozer? Boomer.... Bowser, yeah!
Balin: Ok, you are seriously screwed up in every meaning of the word. Anyway, how are we gonna scare them off that ship. It's not like we can pretend to be Bowser.
Chompy: Or can we...? Hey, Random Bandit #314! Go to this address and bring back what I write down.
*Chompy writes down an address and object to be retrieved and hands it to Random Bandit #314, who then leaves.*
Random Bandit #314: Yes, sir! On my way, sir!
Chompy: Good bandit. Now, what to do until he comes back...
Balin: What exacly is he getting?
Chompy: You'll find out soon. While we're waiting, let's play Pin the Coin on Random Bandit #2478!
Balin: Oooo! My favorite!
*They all enjoy a nice game of Pin the Coin on Random Bandit #2478. Within an hour or so, Random Bandit #314 returns with the aformentioned object, and some small cuts and bruises*
Chompy: WOAH! YOU GOT IT!
Random Bandit #314: Yeah, but really, it was patheticly easy. Nobody was even there.
Chompy: Then how'd you get the cuts and bruises.
Random Bandit #314: Oh, that's when I slipped and fell off the walkway in the Koopa Bros. Fortress. Luckily, I held on, but Random Parakoopa #56 kept kicking me, until I jumped on him.
Chompy: Nice.
Balin: WOAH! THAT THING IS AWESOME!
Chompy: Time to see if it works. Hurry, though. Them Pirates are almost ready to leave the port.
*They all head to the docks*
Chompy: Ok Balin, get in.
Balin: Awesome! I get to drive this baby?
Chompy: Hey, no one calls Mecha Lord Bowser a baby. But yes, you drive. We'll watch.
Balin: OK!!! *He heads over to the boat*
Balin: Buahahahaha! I am the evil Lord Bowser! Bow down to my Lord Bowserness!
Scrubb: EEEEEEEEEEKK! LORD BOWSER IS HERE! SCRAMBLE THE PIRATES! SCRAMBLE THE PIRATES!
*All the Peaceful Pirates Flee to.... somewhere.*
Balin: Wow, it worked.
Chompy: That was awesome!
Random Peaceful Pirate #256: Uhhhh....ummmm.... I uh, I'm not sc-c-cared to f-f-fight y-y-you!
Balin: Yes! Time for the Fire Breathing Special Effects!
*Activates Fire Breath, but all that comes out is a peice of cardboard, with the word "Fire" written on it.*
Random Peaceful Pirate #256: AHHHHH!!!! RUN AWAAAYYY!!!
Chompy: Even better, my man! Those special effects could of scared even me away!
Balin: *Get's out of Mecha Bowser* I know right? Top Notch Bowser Suit as well!
Chompy: Indeed! Now, let's get on that boat and rest until morning. We could probably all use it. Well, not really, becasue I didn't even do anything, but still. Our random bandits need some rest. See ya in the morning!
Balin: See ya then. BANDITS! SLEEP MODE! NOW!
QUEST LOG:
Chompy: *Yaaaawn* Mornin' everyone!
Balin: Hey. How goes it?
Chompy: It's all good. This Peaceful Pirates ship has very comfortable bedding. Anyway, I sent out some Bandits to steal supplies for our trip to Rougeport.
Balin: Good call there...
*Meanwhile, in a Toad Town Store...*
Random Bandit #15: HEY!! THIS IS A ROBBERY!! PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!!
Goomba Staff Member: But I don't have hands....
Random Bandit #15: No complaining! Just hand over all the goods.
Goomba Staff Member: I can't hand it over if I don't have hands. Lemme get my lawyer...
Random Bandit #15: Huh?
Toad Lawyer: Hello. My client, Goomba Staff Member, has complained he doesn't have hands in which to hand over aformentioned items. Do you agree with this statement?
Random Bandit #15: Well I---
Toad Lawyer: Thank you. Now, please sign here, here, here, not there, and here.
Random Bandit #15: Uhhh, ok. *Signes Paper*
Toad Lawyer: Thank you. Now, we shall get some handed staff to hand over the aformentioned items. Good day, sir.
Random Bandit #15: Uhh... yeah... you too. *Gathers all the goods in the store*
Goomba Staff Member: Thank you for shoping Goomba Gallery! We hope to see you again in the near future!
Random Bandit #15: Riiiiiight.
*Back with Chompy and Balin*
Random Bandit #15: Hey, I got the goods. Man, people in this town are WEIRD.
Chompy: Tru Dat. Now, let's load up this crap and set course for Rougeport!
Balin: Right-o. But, lemme slap on a sticker over that Peaceful Pirates Logo. You know, to intimidate our foes. *Put's a big sticker over the logo*
Chompy: You know, I don't think people will be scared of a sticker that says,"Blue Rabbits".
Balin: But there are so many people in the world who have Blue-rabbit-o-phobia nowadays.
Chompy: True. All right men, set sail!
*They start sailing to Rougeport, but miscalculate the coordinates and land on Tiny Huge Island (From Super Mario 64, about 15 miles south of Rougeport.)*
Chompy: YAY! WE'RE HERE EVRYONE!
Balin: *Getting off boat* Ahh, the sweet smell of accompli--- Wow. I didn't expect Roguepot to look like this. Where's the port? And the Rougeness?
Chompy: Mabey we're on the wrong island. Let's get back on the boat.
Balin: Can't. We landed so far in, only the Highest Tide will take us back into the ocean. That should be in a few days.
Chompy: Well, it couldn't hurt to explore a bit...
Balin: Woah! A really, really, really small goomba! I didn't know they come that small. We should call this Tiny Island. In fact, everything on this island is out of proportion. We are giants!
Chompy: Yeah! Hey, let's go down that Warp Pipe over there.
Balin: Good Idea!
*Chompy and Balin go down the pipe, leaving the bandits behind.*
Chompy: Hmmm, what could possibly be in--- OH CHOMP! EVERYTHING IS HUMUNGOUS!
Balin: Yeah, your right. AHHHHHHHH! GIANT BANDITS!
Chompy: How'd they get so big?
Balin: Actually, I think we shrunk. Crap. Well, let's just head on over to that Warp.... great. A Giant Goomba just squished it.
Chompy: Crap. Now we'll never get back to normal size.... Wait. Hold on. My sensors indicate there are two more Pipes on the island. Let's get a move on then.
Balin: Right. But, we need to hurry to get back before the Highest Tide.
Chompy: Ok. Let's see if fighting giants will be a problem, first. Hey Goombas! Over here!
Giant Goomba #1: Huh? Who said that?
Giant Goomba #2: I think those two little guys down there said it. What do we do?
Giant Goomba #3: SQUISH IT!
Balin and Chompy:............... AAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! *They Hide in a small cove where the Goombas can't squish them.*
Chompy: Yeah, this is gonna be a problem...
QUEST LOG:
*Back at the Tiny/Huge Island Scene*
Chompy: Yeaah, this this gonna be a problem.
Balin: W-w-what do we d-d-do?
Chompy: Mabey if we try and talk to them?
Balin: Y-y-yeah, y-you d-do that.
Chompy: Hey, you Goombas. I wanna talk to you!
Goomba 1: Huh? Who said that? Was it you?
Chompy: Yes. Why must you persist with the squishing of... us.
Goomba 2: Why, we are just ordinary, peace loving Giant Goombas.
Chompy: Then why did try to squish us?
Goomba 2: Oh, well, he.... has issues. But that's just him. Us two are normal. Well, at least I am, anyway.
Chompy: What are your names, dare I ask?
Goomba 1: Huh? Did someone ask for my name? Is my name Puzel? Is it? IS IT?
Goomba 3: SQUISH IT!
Goomba 2: Yes, well the first one is Puzel, he always questions himself and others. I am Norgoom, the only normal one. And that guy is.... well, he doesn't really have a name. We call him Squish. Because that's all he says. And he likes squishing things.
Balin: I suspect Blue-Rabbit-O-Phobia.
Norgoom: Ahhh. Anyway, what brings you small folk here?
Chompy: We are not small. You are tiny. We just went down a warp pipe, and now we are small. But, we got here because we got lost on our way to a different city.
Puzel: Why not go back down the pipe? Is that a good idea?
Chompy: Well, Squish sorta---
Squish: SQUISH IT!
Chompy: Yeah. Anyway, do you know where we should go to find the next warp pipe? We need to be normal sized before the Highest Tide.
Norgoom: Well, the next one is not far from here. It should be atop a windy platform, after you cross the Insane Lake. If that one doesn't work, head up the wooden platform nearby, avoiding the defense system. That would be cannonballs. But, the one near the cannon is locked. You would need King Wiggler's permission to use it, lest the previous one fails. Be careful traveling around. There is a small war around these parts, and lots of hostile folk.
Balin: Thanks. We appreciate the help.
Squish: SQUISH IT!
Chompy: Right. Let's go then.
*The two of them head under an archway, and find themselves at the point where land meets the Insane Lake.*
Balin: Woah. That's a big lake.
Chompy: Oh Chomp. I'm a robot, I can't swim...
Balin: Can you shell surf?
Chompy: Well, sort of, but I'm not that good. I mean....
Balin: Good enough. I see a lone large Koopa over there. If I can knock off it's shell, you can surf across.
Chompy: I could really use some Oil Fizz right about now....
Balin: Forget the Fizz! I'm thristy too, but we can't do anything about that, can we?
Chompy: Dude there's a lake right in front of you.
Balin: Yeah, well, goombas might have done their business here. Know what I mean?
Chompy: Weird. Don't people do business in an office or dinner room? Lakes seem so... dirty....
Balin: Gah! I meant business as in.... I mean yes. Lakes are dirty. That's why I'm not drinking from it.
Chompy: Ohhhhhhhh. So, what are you gonna do about that Lakitu Guard?
Balin: Well, you see this spiny here? *Hold it in front of Chompy's face*
Chompy: Yeah. So?
Balin: Make pretend it's a Whacka.
Chompy: Huh?
Balin: *Sigh*. Um... Make pretend it's a Diglett?
Chompy: Oh my goodness! It's a Diglett! DIE DIGLETT!!!
*Chompy headbutts the spiny so hard it hits Lakitu, and he falls off his cloud and drowns*
Chompy: Heyyyy.... Where's it's brain?
Balin: Uhh... he left it in Toad Town.
Chompy: Oh.
Balin: Anyway, while you be random, I'm gonna get that shell for ya.
*Balin swims to the small bay on a side of the lake, kills the Koopa, and brings back his shell*
Balin: Whew... whew... Here you go... a nice... Koopa shell...
Chompy: Awesome! How do I get in?
Balin: You idiot! You don't get in. You get on.
Chompy: Ah-ha! *He gets on, and the shell slowly moves across the water*
Chompy: AHHHHH!!! HOLY CHOMP!!! I'M GONNA FREAKIN' DIE!!! HELP MEEEE!!!
Balin: Get a hold of yourself, Chompy. You're going 3 miles an hour.
Chompy: BUT IT'S SOOOO SCARY!!!
Balin: *Sigh*
*After a while of screaming, ranting, and the occasional, "SQUISH IT!", heard from afar, they finally made it to the other side of the Insane Lake.*
Chompy: Ha! You call that a lake? That was kid's stuff, man! Whew! I feel pumped!
Balin: Yeah. Okay. So, where should we.... Hey, I see the Pipe!
Chompy: Me too! It's at the other side of the Windy Chasm! Hooray for pudding!
Balin: This is no time to be discussing pudding. But this topic of food reminded me... Here, put on this costume of a tender steak.
Chompy: Why am I in a steak costume?
Balin: Because. The giant birds here often pick up meat of any kind and carry it across the Chasm to store it. At least that's what Norgoom told me before we left. So they'll carry us across, and drop us off at the pipe!
Chompy: Where'd you get the steak costumes?
Balin: I think Squish gave them to me. I'm not sure why.
Chompy: Weird. Hey look! A bird! Act like steak!
Balin: Right.
*While they both... "act" like steak, a large Bird comes down and picks them up. He then heads toward the other side of the chasm.*
Mr. Bird: Mmmmm, steak. I might need to add a bit of steak sauce later on... I'll just steal some from Squish...
Chompy: Ha, this bird don't even know that we're not even steak! What a card!
Mr. Bird: Did the steak just talk? AHHHH!!! HAUNTED STEAK!!! THE EVIL STEAKLORD HAS RETURNED FROM THE GRAVE!!!
Chompy: Steaklord? Who the hell is the steaklo-AAAHHHHH!!!!
*Mr. Bird drops the two in the Chasm, and they scream as the wind carrys them swiftly in different directions.*
Balin: AHHHHH!!!! YOU!!!! IDIOT!!!!
Chompy: SOOOO!!!! RRRRYYY!!!! WOAHH!!!!
Balin: LEAN LEFT! LEAN LEEEFFFTT!!!!
Chompy: WHEEEEE!!!!!
Balin: YOURRRR!!!! LEEFTT!!!!
Chompy: OHHHHH!!! WHOOOOPS!!!
Balin: TUR!!!!! BULE!!!!! ENCE!!!!
Chompy: WHAAAAT!!!!
Balin: I SAID!!!! TURBULENCE!!!!!
Chompy: OHHH NOOOO!!!!!
Balin: WAAAHHHH!!!!
Chompy: *Thuds on ground* Ow! Yow! Pow! Woah! Ugh....
Balin: *Crashes into Chompy* Loooook ooouuut! *THUD*
Chompy: Unnnnhhh....
Balin: Uggghhhh....
Chompy: W..wow...that was... ugghh... dizzy.
Balin: Yeahhhh....
Chompy: Shake it off, Chompy. Ok, I'm good.
Balin: Whew. Yeah. I'm alright.
Chompy: Well, we made it to the other side... There's the pipe. No. NOOOO!!!
*A cannonball from a distant cannon accidently lands in the pipe and clogs it*
Balin: Great. Just when this mess was almost over, that happens. Well, I don't care, I am SO going to lay down. *falls asleep.*
Chompy: Yeah, me too. Let's pick up tomorrow morning... *falls asleep*
