Flint,

The kids have been running wild around the fields and mountainssince we've been here. Just like you said they would. They never gettired.

Claus is still as risky and energetic as always. Lucas is still alittle withdrawn. But, it seems like both of them are having a greattime playing. I think my father fs going to be lonely when we leave.He hadn't seen the boys for a long time. But, we'll be coming homethis evening.

I hadn't breathed in this clean mountain air for a while. I forgothow good it makes you feel. You fre always in Tazmily Villageenveloped 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 ourminds. Tonight when we get home I'll whip up a batch of my specialSPAM.

Yours and the boys forever,Hinawa

* ** 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 ft 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.

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?

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 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 *

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. ***********************************************************************

Thomas: Lighter!! Hey, Lighter, are you OK?

Lighter: Flint...oh, and Thomas. D....amn...cough. Those things...themore 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 ft know. *Cough* Those are the things setting fire to theforest. 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 YOUfLL SEE THE CABIN.

Lighter: Well, that fs neither here nor there. OWWWW!! That hurts, youidiot!

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 mademe jealous.

Lighter: Thanks, Flint. I hate for you to see me like this. I guessI owe you one.

Archat: Master, I think that's the first time I ever heard you saythanks.

Bronson: How true. Next you'll tell me it fs 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 toLighter's treatment. Let go back to the village.

IN THE INN...

Tessie: Flint, you fre all better now.

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. ** ** Fuel: Father, you really need to get some sleep. ** ** Archat: Isack said that he was going into the mountains to gather ** some mushrooms.

I was more worried about him than I was ** 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 ** should be open. ***************************************************************************

LEAVE THE INN. ISACK STOPS YOU.

Isack: Flint, I heard that you were resting here. Good. This rain ishorrible. Let me stand under the awning here. Flint...have you

seen Hinawa or the kids? (yes/NO) I see. I was in the mountainscollecting mushrooms. I happened to see Hinawa. Then I took a restin a dry riverbed and from far away I heard a huge roar. Itsounded to me like Drago's voice. Then I heard a shriek. At leastI thought I did. Flint, are you sure Hinawa hasn ft made it backyet?

HEAD BACK TO FLINT'S HOUSE AND THE PIGEON IS WAITING FOR FLINT. FLINTREADS 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'tcatch a cold.


13/127

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 getall the villagers to lend a hand as well.

Fuel: I guess I'll go tell my dad what fs going down.

GO OUTSIDE AND BONEY IS BARKING AT YOU.

Boney: ROOF! (Please take me with you. I can help you out.)

HEAD TO THE PRAYER ROOM.

Johner: Flint, you made it. Everyone split into groups and went into theforest. I gave them all the orders to search for Hinawa. You freblessed 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 anyinkling of my true power.

HEAD INTO THE FOREST.

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


14/127

* ** 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, ** there are more in Isack's house. ** ** 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 ** there is scorched as well. ** ** Nan: Oh, Flint. With all these people searching, they are bound to turn ** up. Please have faith. ** ** Abbey: I slipped and fell but I'm not hurt. *

* ** Abbot: The ground is slippery so I believe watching your step is the ** right thing to do. ** ** Mouse: SQUEAK! (The house I was freeloading in burnt to the ground. I ** guess I have no choice but to go on a trip.) ** ** Reggie: The forecast calls for a spot of fire followed by rain. And ** then your children's smiles. It'll be OK. It'll be OK, ** I think. ** ** Biff: The forest still reeks of smoke. Well, it was a big fire... ** ** Butch: I want to hurry up and find Hinawa and then have her make me ** SPAM. ** ** Jill: Claus likes to play pranks so he's probably hiding around here ** and watching everyone search for him. Lucas is a little wimp so ** he's probably close to tears by now. ** ** Ollie: I've been calling out for a while now, but there's no response. ** Maybe they're not around here. ** ** Mike: Claus and Lucas love my cookies so I'm sure they'll appear any ** moment to eat one. My small, dirty, not very delicious cookies. *

* ** Tessie: Keep going straight here and you'll be at Hinawa's father's ** house. ** ** Jackie: Flint, what should I do...? ** ** Batou: It wasn't lighting. It looks like Someone broke down these ** trees. What had the trees ever done to them? *****************************************************************************

TALK TO BRONSON...

Bronson: It's a horrible sight, Flint. Have a look for yourself. Allthese sturdy, giant trees were smashed right in half. Whatmake such big trees fall like that? There fs no way a human


15/127

could do that. Hey, it wasn't me! Dammit. The road iscompletely blocked. Maybe it's because of these trees thatHinawa and the boys haven't come home. It fs the long way butyou fre 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. Leavethis tree business to me. Flint, keep moving.

****************************************************************************** NPCs *

****************************************************************************** ** Tessie: I hope Hinawa is safe. But... ** ** Chimey: We still haven't found Hinawa yet. So, there's no problem. Oh, ** wait, that is a problem. ** ** Jackie: Johner and the others are all gathered by the cliff. Maybe you ** should see what fs what. ** ** Batou: All of the wildlife in the area has disappeared as well. I have ** a bad and unlucky feeling about this. Oh, um, but in a good way. ** I meant unlucky in the best sense...oh. ** ** 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. ' fm sorry but nobody here ordered an oldman. There fs 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 fre going through but that's a littlerisky. My son might be of some use to you here. Or maybe not. At


16/127

any rate, I'll call him here and we'll see. Let me borrow yourdog. Boney, I want you to bring my son here. My son fs name is(naming screen, default is Duster) Duster. Got it? Ok, now smellthis 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 andhe'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 thieverysince you were a kid? Well, the time has finally come for you to trythem 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 thestrongest, but I'll try and follow you. Let's go together.

WALK AROUND A LITTLE AND BRONSON RUNS IN. TALK TO HIM.

Bronson: Flint....what to say...well, first of all, calm down and listenclosely. 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-hugeDrago Fang. It will be the greatest weapon. I thought you coulduse it. The bad news is.....the bad news is....the place where I

found Drago's Fang. It was in...your...It was thrust throughyour wife's heart.

FLINT FALLS TO HIS KNEES.

Bronson: Flint, please, be strong. I'm sure that Hinawa is the reason theboys 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 HIMBUT 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 trulysorry about what happened to Hinawa. What on earth caused Dragoto attack a human? I'm going to have you rest here for a littlewhile longer. It pains me to do it, though. I'm going to holdon to Drago's Fang for now. You know, the one that was in yourwife's heart. When you get out of here come by my house and I'llgive 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 thattime he's spent everyday crying in front of Mom's grave. Dad, I'mgoing to leave this apple here. The core is really tough and may behard to eat. The core. The core is really tough and may be hard to

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 greattime seeing my grandsons and then this.........sorry. Hey, isn'tClaus with you? He said he was going to meet someone and he hasn'tcome 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 thatbeast Drago.

Lucas: No, no, no. Claus is NOT thinking that he's going to defeat Dragoand he did NOT take Dad's knife and head towards the mountain...oops.


22/127

Alec: You raised an honest one here, Flint. So Claus is going to take thathomemade 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 andnot 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 mountainsto avenge his mother. We haven't a moment to lose. I don't thinkthat Drago is himself anymore. We need to prepare. I'm going toget weapons ready for our fight with Drago. Hurry to my house.You remember where I live, right? If you forgot you can ask Mapsonto 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'llbe strong enough to break through Drago's tough hide. No otherweapons will be able to defeat Drago. I know it's hard for youbut 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 chasechickens.)

Chicken 2: Cockadoodledoo? (Why are you chasing us?)

Mouse: SQUEAK! (Eating everything on your plate is really a greatthing 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 mousewith the insect wings growing out of its back? Well, it seemsto have bitten me. I'm pretty much all better now. Well, let'sforget about that. I've found out where Claus went. Accordingto 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 wonderingwhat that's all about. Frogs are my friend's assistants. My friendcan communicate freely with frogs and lizards among other things.Look, over there is a lizard. Talk to it and it should tell us which


23/127

way we need to go.

GO NEAR THE LIZARD.

Alec: Flint, what kind of person is your friend, is a kind of questionyou 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 tellby how slow your walking has become. The Magypsy have been inthis land for a long time protecting something. They all have

strange powers. They're not humans and they're not demons. They'realso 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 kindof 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 youhave to either give up or throw something away. Th-ere-fore,eat the foods when you have the need for them. Eat as much asyou can. That way you'll never run out of spaces for youritems. That's one of the tricks of the game. And now, inparting...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 fromAolia's house? Tweet!

Cow: Moo. (How about squeezing yourself some milk?) (YES/NO) Moo. (You'regood at that.)

ENTER AOLIA'S HOUSE.

* Doria: Hello, welcooooome. We have some delicious cake. ******************************************************************************

Ionia: Wah!!! Alec!! Welcome.

Aolia: Ionia, is this a friend of yours? How do you do? Ionia, aren't youforgetting your introductions?

Ionia: Why, of course. This here is my good friend Alec. And you are...Isee, Flint. Let me introduce you to the Magypsys. Today is aparty so almost everyone is here. This is Aolia and that is Doria.Over there is Fligia, Lydia and Mixolydia. The only one missing isRoqulia. And you can call me Ionia. What? You can't remember allthat? You knew you weren't going to remember but you had meintroduce them anyway. Oh, Alec.

Alec: Anyhoo, it's been a long time. You look good. My grandson wassupposedly 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 ityou 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. Keptgoing on about avenging his mother. Poor thing. So I taught himsome 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 youdo if something happens to him?

Mixolydia: Silly old man. We Magypsy have no interest in the lives anddeaths of human beings.

Flugia: Even if you live long you get at most 100 years. A blink of aneye. What good would it do us to be concerned with your puny lifespans?

Doria: But, Mixolydia, Fligia, worrying about those their short lives iswhat makes humans humans. Alec, I sympathize with you. Maybe Iunderstand 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 youmight 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'slair. That's probably the way Claus went as well. Don't worry,Flint. And release the tension in your shoulders. It'll nevergo well if you're all wound up.Got it?


25/127

ENTER THE CAVE.

Alec: It's dark in here but don't despair. I've taken this path manytimes. Leave the navigation to me. You that look on your face isonly 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 findit and then jump right on down...

...This will take us the long way around. It'd be faster if wejust 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 thatwe 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 mesome 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 homefree..to-lay. It's a joke. Get it? Frito-Lay.

LEAVE THE CAVE AND ENTER YET ANOTHER CAVE. COME ACROSS SOME PIG-MASKSAND THEY RUN AWAY. EXAMINE THE CAPSULE.

"This is a fantastic capsule that can re-energize you instantly. Do youwant 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 tobe around here somewhere.

Tutoriole: Tweet! (Up ahead is Drago's lair. Proceed with caution. And


26/127

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'sno 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. Thestrong helped the weak and anything necessary was supplied. Thiswas life how they knew it. However, now they all shared the grief andthe same feeling that things were going from bad to worse.

But since when? From where? What and why? Why were things changing? Thecreatures of the forest now look like strange robotic toys. The humanswere being pounced upon. There was even a family that had been severedapart.

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 atragedy."

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 sorryabout Hinawa. I can't say I know what you're going though.Hinawa's burial is finished. Lucas has been constantly cryingin front of her grave. I think his little heart is going to breakapart. If I can ever do anything for you again, don't be afraid toask.

Flint: Duster...thanks.

DUSTER AND WES ARE IN THEIR HOUSE.Wes: Duster, my son. No...my apprentice. Listen up! The time has come.


27/127

Not like I was particularly waiting for this moment. Actually, Ihoped it would never come. In any rate, this is the time we'vehave been preparing for. It is time for you to try out all thoseskills I taught you. I'm still not sure who the enemy is, but it'sup to us to face it. Do you feel ready? (YES/NO) Duster, I am goingto 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 whatit is. A thief must be able to sense the worth of that which he isgoing to steal. If you can't, well...there's nothing more I canteach you. Do you want to hear a little more? (YES/NO) The thingis supposed to be incredibly valuable. Maybe it...shines a little?Possibly.... That's all I can tell you for now. I've preparedsome things for you in the basement. Some thief paraplegics...no, I mean paraphernalia. How many were there again? Oh well, itmakes no difference. They'll come in handy during battles.

Youjust wait and see. Huh? What is the Money Age? Well, I exchangedmy pig for this. With that traveler. He took a great interest inmy pig. You cried and begged me to trade him for this bag of


28/127

money. I know it all sounds strange. I decided to do it. He'sa nice guy and we hit it off. Anyway, I got the money, so it'smine, right? I don't want anyone who doesn't know what it walkingoff with it, so I'm gonna hide it here in the well. Duster! Youmust promise to keep this a secret.

Don'tyou know anything about the rhythm of battle? Dum-de-de-dum or bop-bitty-doo-wop. In battle, the enemies' movements all have aparticular rhythm. You can use that rhythm to your advantage.

Ant: Anty-ant ant. (Hey, don't you ever look down? I'm right here. It lookslike you still haven't gotten the hang of the rhythm of battle.

Mr. Passion: My name is Mr. Passion. This is the 2nd movement of "FamilyMatters". 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 takethe drawbridge. It's faster and safer than the undergroundpassageway. I'll give you the key to the drawbridge. Youdon'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 youbrought. This...this glossy, pleasant to the touch, intricatelycrafted jar. This is the Nobel Spittoon, a part of the OsoheCastle 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 abonehead on purpose trying to impress me? It worked, dipstick.


32/127

Wait....what's that? Show me again. This is the thing that I waslooking for...NOT! Duster, is it possible that the owner of thispendant is the princess? Duster, your first job wasa failure. However, I may have been too quick with my insults. I'mgoing with you. Let's head for Osohe Castle. Take me to the roomwhere you got the spittoon.

HEAD TO THE CASTLE.

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 marchedinto 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 dooris the young lady of the castle. Duster...this is embarrassing soplease 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. Theyoung lady is probably through here. But, there also may be moreof those piggies. Be careful, pudding-head.


33/127

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 thoughtof you. No,no,no,no,no. In my happiness I made a faux pas. I meant tosay I've never ever forgotten you. Duster, chicken-brain, dosomething.

Kumatora: Enough. I got my leg caught in this stupid trap. There's no wayI'm going to die here so I was debating about whether to cut offmy leg or not.

Wes: Haha, as reckless as ever. There's no need to cut your leg off. I'lluse 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 likethat. I'm the Gossip Wind, the wind that blows thegossip around. The rumor is that the bullish young girl named

Kumatora who just joined your party can use PSI, which aresupernatural powers. If this rumor turns out to be true, thenit'll be very advantageous to you in battles. And that's allthe 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 likethat. I'm the Gossip Wind, the wind that blows thegossip around. It seems that one of your group isn't feeling


34/127

so well. It's not poison. She's not tired. Yet somehow, she'sfeeling under the weather. She doesn't have the strength torun. 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 ittoo 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 thatI ordered you to bring home. "The Important Thing." It's referred toas the Shining Egg or the Hummingbird's Egg. I personally do notunderstand the egg. The Hummingbird's Egg is an enigma wrapped ina 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 itgets into the wrong hands, the lid of secrets will be opened andthings will be like, really bad.

Wes: Like if they wanted to seal something away with the egg or causedisasters. 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 theworld is actually quite humorous. Sure, it's humorous but what'seven funnier is this chowderhead here. You couldn't sniff out thisegg with all of its secrets concentrated like condensed milk. Andthat's why you are ninny. You're disqualified.

Kumatora: You shouldn't say such things to your own kid. If he's really aa dunce he won't know it even if you tell him. Anyhoo, we cannotlet 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 reallyprotected 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'vetrained him for situations like this.

Kumatora: ...? Not Duster, the Egg. The Egg is gone.Wes: What? Not the pea-brain but the Egg?


35/127

DUSTER APPEARS FROM UNDER THE WATER.

Wes: Yes, the Egg! Oh, and Duster, too. I take back all the 11 times Icalled you names today. I'm looking at you in a new light. Goodwork. 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 RIVERLIGHTER 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 theriver. It was a good thing I was out with my father. If I hadbeen 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 thegloves off and really let him have it.

Lighter: You were both unconscious. Maybe you should just relax and takeit easy for a while.

Kumatora: (to Wes) What are you talking about? Let's go look for him rightaway.

HEAD INTO THE VILLAGE.

****************************************************************************** NPCs ******************************************************************************* ** Ally: Hi, are you Duster's friend? (YES/no) Wow, you're handsome. You ** probably do great with the ladies. ** ** Nan: Ally, that is a lady. ** ** ***************************************************************************

ENTER THE VILLAGE AND THERE IS A CROWD MILLING AROUND THE WELL.


36/127

Butch: Wes! Where's that jerk Duster? Duster was the only person who knewabout my bag of money hidden in the well and now it's gone. Whichmeans that the criminal is Duster. That was my money!!

Lisa: You've been saying that for a while now but tell me, where did youget 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 longvacation, but as soon as something cool like money appeared hehad 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 tryingto do violence. Violence!

Flint: Butch and everyone needs to calm down. You can make all the racketyou want, but the fact of the matter is that Duster isn't here sowe 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 theforest and turning them into monsters have begun their plan tochange the villages, way of living and even, hearts of the humans.Something larger appears to be hidden in the strange movements ofpeddler and his monkey.

However, there are some who are not content to fold their arms andaccept this attack on their people.

Flint, whose strength is the bond of family.

Duster, the thief of justice.

And finally, a character introduced quite suddenly, PrincessKumatora.

Fate is trying to assemble those who use their powers for good.

And where is that weakling, Lucas?

Come to think of it, I haven't namedyou yet. I think the time has come for you to get one. Somethingcute...Nehehehe. Ok, idiot monkey. You're new name is Salsa.

THE SIGN READS:"Frogs in the desert? Even in the extremely arid desert areas of Africathere exists a type of frog known as the Sand Frog. In this region thereis no possibility of rain so the frogs burrow underground to avoidbecoming 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 thebuilding. Let's take him down! If you get beat I'm going to have topunish 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 getin and take it to that horribly primitive backwater town,Tazmily . It'd take for ever to walk there but in the Porkand 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 refreshedand raring to go. It's called the Amazing Capsule and it reallyis something else. Normally it would be wasted on a stupid monkeylike 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 stopthe Pork and Beans while traveling, press the button withthe B on it. Once you're stopped, press B again to get out.Were you listening? (YES/NO) If you understand, hurry up andget in.

"Do you want to board the Pork and Beans?" (YES/NO)

FIGHT THE ENEMIES AND TAKE THE LADDER TO THE SURFACE. YOU EMERGE IN THECEMETERY.

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 swipeit from you.

ENTERING THE VILLAGE YOU RUN INTO DUSTER.

Yokuba: Oh...I wasn't looking where I was going. Sorry, sorry. Iapologize 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 anyoneelse. Look at this. This bag! What do you think is in it? It'smoney. MONEY!!!! Do you know what money is? What? You don't evenknow what money is? To tell you the truth...I'm not really suremyself what it is. It's something that was never in TazmilyVillage. I think that it's going to be come the Money Age. Youjust wait and see. Huh? What is the Money Age? Well, I exchangedmy pig for this. With that traveler. He took a great interest inmy pig. You cried and begged me to trade him for this bag ofmoney. I know it all sounds strange. I decided to do it. He'sa nice guy and we hit it off. Anyway, I got the money, so it'smine, right? I don't want anyone who doesn't know what it walkingoff with it, so I'm gonna hide it here in the well. Duster! Youmust promise to keep this a secret.

HE HANDS OVER A BIG BAG OF MONEY.

Betsy: We'll accept your kind offer. Thank you. It'll make a nice doorstopper. The middle room is all made up. Please have a goodnight'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.

Why didn't you stop him?Whatever, it doesn't matter. It was probably just some drunkvillager lost on the way home. Huh? It was a guy dragging his

feet? I think I might have seen him, too. He had kind ofbrownish hair, slight B.O. and looked destitute. Don't worryabout 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: How late are you planning to sleep, idiot? Whatever. Today you'regoing to perform tricks. Use your interestingly odd tricks to winthe hearts of these villagers. Do it well and you'll be free andI'll take you to where your woman is. But, if you bore everyoneI'll have to punish you again.

I'm sure you've all feltlike that at some time. On the outskirt of the village are strangeanimals like you have never seen before. In the sky are hugeballoon shaped ships. Why? What is happening? And then, accordingto the Gossip Wind, in the near future lightning will begin tostrike everyday and burn all the forests. So, did that make yousmile?

TALK TO YOKUBA AGAIN...

Yokuba: Ladies and gentlemen. I want all of you to be happy. Those of youwho didn't raise your hand, please think it over and if youshould decide you,too, want to be happy, please feel free toask me.
