Since "Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts" generally was regarded as a step in the wrong direction to many fans of the series, I wanted to create a storyline that I feel may have been a step in the right direction. If another game is added to the series let's hope they go back to the roots with more of what made the previous titles so lovable. This story is mean to take place after the ending of "Nuts & Bolts". Should go without saying, but I don't own any characters used throughout here/from here on unless otherwise stated.
Prologue
The duo known as Banjo and Kazooie had been through many adventures together, each leading up to a showdown between them and their greatest enemy, the evil witch Gruntilda.
They had faced off many a time in the past, with their most recent battle ending in yet another victory for them. Having completed the Lord of Games' (L.O.G.'s) challenge, they had been rewarded with all of their previous talents and moves from their previous adventures.
As the loser, Gruntilda was sentenced to an eternity working in L.O.G'S videogame factory. Being little more than a skull inside a robot body after so many defeats, she vowed revenge in the form of creating her own videogame.
A year had passed and peace once again fell over Spiral Mountain. Banjo and Kazooie, not wanting to have a repeat of the eight years that had passed before, had set up their own training ground to help them stay in shape.
Jamjars more than agreed to be their trainer (in fact, he insisted on it.) Some days Kazooie would run laps around Spiral Mountain using the Turbo Trainer Running Shoes, other days she would scale the various rocky walls using the Claw Clamber Boots. Banjo would run up and down the spiral hill in the center, carrying multiple heavy objects in his backpack, as well as swim against the current of the waterfalls.
Gruntilda was going along with L.O.G.'s demands during the year, toiling in his game factory. However, whenever she got the chance she would secretly steal parts of this and that and hide them away.
During times when she went unsupervised she would work on her own side projects. These projects consumed her time and energy, and she abandoned her previous threat of creating her own game.
Piddles, her evil little purple cat of a sidekick, would sit on her shoulder and watch curiously. Despite being the creator of all games, L.O.G. seemed to be oblivious to what the witch was up to over the course of the year.
On a day like any other, Gruntilda loaded up her various gadgets and tools and set out to find L.O.G. Attached to her wrist was a steam-punk style gauntlet with a blue diode in the center. She clenched her fist and opened it again, looking at her palm. Piddles circled around her slowly.
"Mrrr…" she purred. "Whatever you're planning is going to fail. It's what you're best at, Winkybunion." Gruntilda rolled her eyes at the name.
"Listen you, Grunty's still out for fame. Bear, bird and L.O.G. will fear my name!" she hissed. "Sticking me here was very wrong. I'll have my revenge, it won't be long..." With that she dashed out of her work area, determined to put her plan into action. Having nothing better to do, Piddles tagged along behind her; after all, she could always use a good laugh.
