The Knight and The Genie
Chapter 1: Risky's plot
By Dr. John Smith
-Risky Boots boat-
Captain Risky Boots tossed a chalice across her captains room. She scowled at a picture of the pesky half genie Shantae, pinned on a dart board. She tossed more gold and riches off her desk, screaming in anger, "Shantae! That stupid Half-Genie!" Risky pulled out her cutlass and threw it at the dart board, wishing she could actually dispose of Shantae, "What am I going to do!? Every time I have a plan, that stupid Genie is there to wreck and save her stupid little town..." Her face was red with anger, "I won't have it anymore!" She shouted.
A Tinkerbat entered her room, Risky drew her cutlass at it, "Captain!"
"What do you want?" Risky snarled.
"Why don't you just put a bounty on the Half-Genie?" The Tinkerbat suggested. Risky lowered her cutlass.
"Not a bad idea." She turned to the the giant back window, looking over the ocean, "Take this down; Bounty on a ruthless Half-Genie Shantae. Reward is 2500 Jewls. Dead or Alive, preferably dead." Risky said, turning to the Tinkerbat, who was writing all of it down. Risky gave an evil laugh, "This is perfect, now to let someone else deal with Shantae. What town are we ported in?" She ordered the Tinkerbat's to put the wanted posters all over the seven seas. Her plan was full proof.
A Tinkerbat ran in, holding maps and charts, "We are coming up on the Kingdom of Pridemoor, Captain."
"Good. When we dock, go to the nearest village and post as many of those wanted posters." Risky Boots ordered.
"Aye aye Captain!" The Tinkerbats replied.
-Village of Pridemoor-
Some time later, a Tinkerbat, was pasting the wanted posters in a small village. An anthropomorphic horse dressed as a scholar stopped the Tinkerbat, "Hello there sir, may I have a poster?" Percy asked. The Tinkerbat nodded and handed him the poster, "Wanted? She must be really mean to have a wanted poster of her." Percy commented.
The Tinkerbat nodded, "She's the worst!"
"Hope you catch her." Percy told the Tinkerbat.
"Excuse me. What do you have there?" Said a booming voice behind the Tinkerbat. The Tinkerbat froze, turning around to see a man in black armor, with a black shovel. Next to him was a giant man who resembled a frost giant with a snow shovel strapped to his back.
"I uh..." The Tinkerbat stammered.
"Speak you fool!" The frost giant yelled.
"Wanted poster!" The Tinkerbat spat out, covering his face from the frost giant. The black armored man grabbed a poster.
"Hmmm." The Black Knight contemplated.
"What is it Black Knight?" The frost giant asked.
The Black Knight laughed, "We will take your offer. Tell us, where is this 'Shantae'?" The Black Knight asked. He picked up the Tinkerbat, "Tell us. Now." Black Knight ordered.
"Scuttle Town! She lives in Scuttle Town!" The Tinkerbat shouted in fear. Black Knight tossed the Tinkerbat into a tree, causing him to scatter all the posters.
"Come Polar Knight. In your ship, we are taking a little trip to Scuttle Town." Black Knight said, motioning for Polar Knight to follow. Polar Knight nodded, and grabbed the Tinkerbat.
"You're gonna direct us to this Scuttle Town." Polar Knight boomed. The Tinkerbat quickly nodded.
"This should be easy. If she's anything like the Shovel handed hero, we have nothing to worry about." Black Knight told Polar Knight. The Tinkerbat coward as he approached an old Viking ship covered in ice. Polar Knight picked up the Tinkerbat.
"Alright, start navigating." Polar Knight ordered.
Here we are. A Shantae and Shovel Knight crossover!
