Mother 3 - Peace's end
Chapter 2 – Thief Adventure
-Scene 1-
-Outside the prison-
-Flint exits-
Duster: I…. I can't even think of anything to say. The loss of Hinawa is a great tragedy. I can't say I know how you feel…. Just… If there's anything you need. Anything at all. Just let me know.
Flint: Duster….
Duster: Y- yes?
Flint: Thanks.
-Fades to night-
-Duster walks through the door of his house-
Duster: I'm home.
Wess: Yes, yes. Who else would barge into my house at night? Well don't just stand there, we have business to discuss.
Duster: About what sir?
Wess: The time has finally come. All your thief training up till now will finally be put to use.
Duster: I'm listening.
Wess: I know this isn't something we'd want. I too wish not to dirty my hands over it. But whether we want it or not, it is happening.
Duster: What do you want me to do?
Wess: Tonight, I want you to sneak into Osohe Castle. There's something of great value there that you must steal.
Duster: May I ask you what it is?
Wess: MORON! If a true thief must know what is important, they're not true thief! You should know what you need just by looking at it. Well… maybe a little hint wouldn't be too unfair.
Duster: I'm grateful.
Wess: It's…Shiny.
Duster: Um… thanks?
Wess: Well enough chatter. In the basement there is 7 mystic thief tools are in the basement. Take them, for you will need them.
Duster: If I can recall there's only 6 mystic thief tools.
Wess: DON'T ARUGE AND GO GET THEM!
-Duster runs down stairs-
Duster: They should be in here.
-Duster opens a box-
-Inside are the staples, Scary mask, Hypno-pendulum, smoke bombs, Tickle stick, and a Siren beetle-
-Duster is back up the stairs-
Duster: I'm off.
Wess: And don't even think of returning without it…. Oh and… Good luck.
-Duster smiles, then leaves the house-
-Duster is walking into town-
-Duster accidently runs into Fassad-
Fassad: Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
Duster: Oh, no problem.
-Duster notices the monkey he has with him-
Duster: Is he your partner?
Fassad: More like a friend in business. Come on Salsa, we don't want to be late.
-They walk away-
-Salsa turns around and stares at Duster-
-They're both gone-
Duster: Strange. We don't get a lot of visitors around here.
-He continues walking-
-Duster spots Butch huddling to himself-
Duster: What do you have here?
Butch: Oh um… Nothing… Well, I guess I can let you in on the secret.
-Shows Duster a big bag-
Butch: This bag is FULL of money! Money!
Duster: I'm sorry… but what is this money?
Butch: Well… to be honest I don't quite get it myself. Tazmily Village has never had such a thing. All I know is we're soon to enter the Ere of Money.
Duster: I'm confused…
Butch: Yeah me too. Well. I have an idea.
-He walks over to the well-
-He hides the money in it-
Butch: There. Now if I ever need it, I'll know where to find it.
Duster: Well, I wish the best for ya.
Butch: Thanks, this will be our little secret. Well I'm off to bed.
-He leaves-
Duster: This night is off to a weird start.
-Duster hears noises coming from the sky-
-Ships are flying by-
Duster: That's… not good….
-The ship is dropping bombs-
Duster: It's heading for the graveyard!
-Duster makes a run for it-
-In the grave yard-
Duster: No sign of destruction… Then what were those things that ship was dropping?
-Rumbling is heard-
Duster: What's going on?
-Zombies start crawling out of the ground-
Duster: Whha?
Zombie Man A: DUSTER? IS THAT YOU? WELL IT'S BEEN A WHILE.
Zombie Man B: IT HAS BEEN. I CAN HARDLY RECOGNIZE YOU.
Zombie Woman A: DUSTER. YOU LOOK SO GOOD TONIGHT. INFACT I THINK I WANT A BITE.
Duster: Wait what?!
Zombie Man B: BRAINS!
Zombie Woman B: DID YOU SERIOUSLY JUST SAY BRAINS? EVERYONE KNOWS ZOMBIES USUALLY JUST EAT FLEASH.
Zombie man B: IVE FINALLY BECAME A ZOMBIE, I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SAY THAT.
Zombie man A: HOW CAN YOU ACT SO NONCHALANT ABOUT THIS? WE'RE DEAD.
-Duster tries to walk away-
Zombie Man B: AND WERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?
Duster: Um…Nowhere.
Zombie Man A: GOOD.
-The zombies slowly walk towards Duster-
-Only sounds of fighting are heard-
-All the zombies are pinned down with staples-
Duster: That wasn't too bad…. Is that?
-Nippolyte is walking towards his house-
Nippolyte: With the draw bridge closed, I have to take the long way around in order to garden the caste. They use to just keep it down, but that was before these pig suited men started wreaking havoc on us.
-Nippolyte leaves-
Duster: Looks like I'll also have to take the underground passage if I want to make it to the castle. Man, if I spend another second in this grave yard I think I'll go crazy.
*Bark*
-There's a zombie dog sitting behind duster-
Duster: …. AHHHH!
-Duster makes a run for it-
-He gets inside Nippolyte's shack-
Duster: I feel rude for not knocking, but what's a man supposed to do?
-Behind the book shelf is the passage way-
-Duster follows the pathway-
-At the end he is confronted by Nippolyte-
Duster: Hey Nippolyte… Sorry about barging in.
Nippolyte: No problem.
-Nippolyte begins to garden-
Nippolyte: Quite the character.
-Duster looks around the caste-
-Nippolyte talks from a distance-
Nippolyte: No good. The doors are locked. If you want to get though you're gunna have to go through the roof.
Duster: The roof, eh?
-Duster proceeds to use wall staples to get up the wall-
-Duster makes it to the top-
Duster: So far so g-
-There's a ghost in front of Duster-
Ghost: *Burp*
-Duster passes out-
-End of scene 1-
-Scene 2-
-Duster is on the floor-
-Duster wakes up-
Duster: Where am I now?
-He is somewhere in the castle-
Duster: I better take a look around.
-Duster is searching-
Ghost Merchant: Pst.
Duster: Hu?
Ghost Merchant: I might be able to show you something worth your while.
Duster: Are you a ghost?
Ghost Merchant: Take a look at this.
-He's holding up the Rope Snake-
Rope Snake: Help… Me….
Duster: I don't know what I'll do with … that.
Rope Snake: I'll take that in your pocket.
Duster: My pocket?
-Reaches into his pocket-

-Slams the door-
-Duster is sitting in a chair-
Duster: Um…
Ghost2: So human what brings you here?
Duster: You see I-
Ghost3: That's a nice snake you got there.
Rope Snake: I'm flattered.
Ghost1: It's been a while since we had a guest. Bring out the food!
-Chefs bring out a bunch of food-
-Ghosts eat it but fall all the food falls to the ground-
Duster: Look I'm looking for something shiny and important. Do you know anything like that?
Ghost1: The only treasure we need is the treasure of music.
-The party continues-
-Loud noises are heard the floor above them-
Ghost3: He's at it again?
Ghost2: Never gives it up.
Duster: Who?
Ghost1: It's just Mr. Passion. Can't have a good time with him blasting his music.
Ghost3: Would you mind going and telling him to stop?
Duster: Okay… sure.
-Climbs the ladder-
-Goes through passages-
-Duster hears something crawling through the ceiling-
Duster: Is someone else here?
-Cracking is heard-
-Duster hides-
-The roof collapses-
Kumatora: AHHH! Oof.
-Kumatora falls to the floor-
-A pendant falls off her neck-
Kumatora: Sun of a bitch roof.
-Gets off the ground and pats the dust off her-
-She runs up the stairs-
Duster: That was… something different.
-Notices the pendant on the floor-
Duster: I think I should hold on to this. If I see that person again I should give it back.
-He continues walking through the castle-
-At the end he opens the door-
-Music blasts through the halls-
Duster: Hey! Would you mind turning that down?!
-Ignores-
Duster: HEY!
-Ignores-
-Duster puts his hand on his shoulder-
Mr. Passion: Ah I see I have an audience. Let me guess. My music has left you awe struck.
Duster: No actually. Can you turn it down a bit?
Mr. Passion: ….
-The furniture around the room begin to violently shake around the room-
Mr. Passion: How dare you… Not having any respect for the art of music.
Duster: Please just calm down- Ouf!
-A rat flies and hits Duster in the face-
Duster: Gr…
-Duster pulls out a Siren Beetle and throws it-
Mr. Passion: What's this?
-Mr. Passion follows it-
-Duster Kicks Mr. Passion-
Mr. Passion: People of today. You treat music as if it were nothing.
Duster: No. I like music. Just, the ghosts down stairs would appreciate it if you just turn the volume down just a little.
Mr. Passion: ENOUGH!
-Everything in the room is flying at Duster-
Duster: Ahhh!
-Duster is pilled under layers of furniture-
-He crawls out-
Mr. Passion: You won't be leaving this room alive. Hu?
-Duster is using a hypno-pendulum-
-Mr. Passion stares at the coin-
Mr. Passion: I think I'll just be… Leaving for now.
*Thump*
-Mr. Passion is out cold on the ground-
Duster: Phew…
-Duster goes through the door-
-In the middle of the room is a vase-
-Duster looks at it-
Duster: This quality. And it's shiny. I mean there are even sparkles coming from it. This must be it.
-Duster picks up the vase and puts it in a sack-
-Duster heads out-
Ghost2: So he's leaving.
Ghost3: He'll be back. They always come back.
-Transition to Wess's house-
Wess: I hope you have brought good news.
Duster: I believe this may be it.
-Duster takes the vase out of the bag-
-Wess looks at the vase intently-
Wess: Fine texture, well crafted, flawless paint job. A true piece of art. Duster. I may have been wrong about you. You-
-Duster looks a bit prideful-
Wess: ARE A HUGE MORON!
-Brakes vase-
Wess: MORON! MORON! MORON!
Duster: But the vase.
Wess: Vase? This is a spittoon!
Duster: Looks like a vase.
Wess: In the end I should have known you'd fail me. I should have done this whole thing by myself.
Duster: I apologize.
Wess: Not good enough. But… wait.
-Wess notices a pendant hanging out of Duster's pocket-
Wess: That thing in your pocket. Let me see it.
-Duster hands Wess the Pendant-
Wess: There's no question about it. This belongs to the princess of Osohe Castle. Where did you find it?
Duster: Some boy fell from the roof and dropped it.
Wess: Anger problems, Violet hair?
Duster: Yes.
Wess: That's the princess.
Duster: Oh um….
Wess: Well good thing I brought that up. Call the princess a boy in front of her and you'd be in a world of hurt. Well enough wasting time. Take me to Osohe Castle. Right to where you found this Pendant.
Duster: Right sir.
-End of Scene 2-
-Scene 3-
-They leave-
Wess: What's going on?
-The pigs are attacking the castle-
Duster: The Big Masks are attacking the castle!
Wess: Oh really? Nothing gets by you. We should try to find a way in without causing attention.
Pig Mask A: I've spotted them.
-Tanks come rolling in-
Wess: New plan. Hang the last plan and run like Hell!
-Wess and Duster are running for the castle with tanks firing behind them-
Wess: There it is!

Nippolyte: Hi Wess.
Wess: Hello Nippolyte.
-They continue running-
Nippolyte: …No thanks, I got it….
-Continues to lie on the ground-
Nippolyte: Nice sky we're having.
-Inside the castle-
-Two Pig Masks are trying to turn on a Clay Man-
Pig Mask B: Is it on?
Pig Mask C: No…. No wait! …Yeah it won't start.
Pig Mask B: Maybe if you turned the wheel the other way.
Pig Mask C: I know what I'm- No here we go.
-Clay man turns on-
-Duster and Will enter the room-
Duster: What could that be?
Pig Mask B: I'm glad you ask. We call it a Clayimator.
Will: That's kind of a mouthful don't you think?
Duster: Why not just Clay man?
Pig Mask B: That…. Might work.
Pig Mask C: I told you Clayimator was a dumb name.
Pig Mask B: Enough talking! Attack!
Clay Man: Attack!
-Clay man attacks-
-Duster drops a smoke bomb-
-The room is filled with smoke-
-Clay man searches the room for the two-

Duster: Yeah. The Princess was over this way.
Wess: Lead the way.
-They travel-
-They walk through the ghost's dining room-
-In the Kitchen filled with ghosts-
Ghost3: Told you he'd be back.
Ghost2: That you did.
Ghost1: Right on.
Ghost3: Right on.
-Duster and will are going up the staircase-
Duster: That was the hole she fell from.
Wess: Either this place is rather old, or the Princess had put on a few pounds since we last met.
-They continue walking through-
Duster: And for some reason she ran through this door to a dead end.
Wess: Moron. This isn't a dead end. It's a locked door.
Duster: Well how do we go in?
Wess: The only one who knows how to get though is the princess. That was defiantly her. In order to open the door, one most perform an ancient ritual.
Duster: Do you know this ritual?
Wess: Of course I do. If I am to perform it, I'll need you to turn around. That's right, turn around.
Duster: Um, okay.
-Duster turns around-
Wess: And that means staying that way. Okay.
-Wess proceeds to perform the dance we all know and love-
-The door opens-
Wess: Phew. That never gets easier. Now listen Moron, it's time to move on?
Duster: Yeah….. Sure.
-They enter the castle-
-There's a needle in the ground off the balcony-
Wess: Just ignore that. It's another story for another time.
Duster: Okay…
Wess: Now, if I remember the structure of this castle. There should be a stare case that leads to the room where-
-Opens door-
-A PK Fire almost hits Wess-
Wess: Holy!
Duster: Who's there?
Kumatora: Take another step and I'll *Sniffle* Hu? Old geezer?
Wess: Princess! It is you.
Kumatora: Yeah it's me,
Wess: What are you doing here?
Kumatora: Same as you. Trying to find that really important thing. Yeah. I'd so have it by now if I wasn't caught in this trap. I could break out of this trap in a second if I wasn't sick like I am *force coughing*
Wess: Is that so….
Kumatora: Yeah. And I was about to cut my foot off before you showed up. IF I HAD A KNIFE!
Wess: Duster. Please remove this thing from the Princess's foot.
Duster: Sure.
-Duster proceeds to remove the Kuma trap-
Kumatora: Ugh, it's called tooth paste, have you hear of it?
Duster: Um…
Kumatora: *Sniffle* Anyways, thanks. The Name's Kumatora. Please don't call me princes like the old guy over there. I tried to get him to stop but he never listens.
-Wess shrugs-
Kumatora: So are we going to wait for the pigs to arrive, or go find this thing?
Wess: Oh lead the way.
Kumatora: *Under her breath* Smart ass…
Wess: What did you say?!
Kumatora: I said "Smart ass"!
Wess: Oh, okay…
-They head for the next room-
Duster: Have you ever had the feeling someone is watching you?
-Lingering spirits start filling up the room-
Wess: Duster!
Duster: I didn't do anything.
Kumatora: Fight them! How else did you make it this far?
-Duster throws a smoke bomb-
-The room fills with smoke-
-The Lingering spirits can see but Duster and Wess can't-
-The spirits attack-
Kumatora: [sarcasm] Smooth move!
-The smoke clears-
-Wess punches one-
-His hand is burned-
Wess: Ow, Ow, Ow.
Kumatora: COME ON!
Wess: Then why don't you do something?
Kumatora: *Sniffle* *Takes a deep breath*
-Kumatora is no longer sick-
Kumatora: Sure why not?
-Points finger-
Kumatora: Pk Freeze!
-The Lingering spirits are frozen one after the other-
Duster: How did you…
Kumatora: All in a day's work. Now who has some pudding?
Duster: What was that?
Wess: I didn't tell you? Kumatora is able to use powerful PSI attacks. Fire, Ice, Thunder. You name it. And the thing with PSI users; they get sick easily. But when they get better, a new part of them wakes up. Giving them new powers.
-Kumatora is eating some pudding-
Duster: Weird.
Kumatora: You just saw a 15 year old girl shoot ice out of her hands and all you have to say is weird?
-Loud noises are heard coming from the stairs-
-Lingering Spirits, Osohe Capes, and a broom are running up the stairs-
Wess: Princess! Do you have enough power left to stop all of them?
Kumatora: Mmmmm…. Nope tanks empty.
Wess: Not good. Now what?
Kumatora: [Sarcasm] How about running?
-They're running-
All of them: Ahhhhh!
Duster: Wo!
-They almost run off a ledge in the castle-
Duster: Dead end.
Wess: Duster you MORON! Now what?!
Duster: Only if…
Rope Snake: Just use me to swing across. Yeah I can hold a lot of weight.
Duster: Kumatora! Hold them off for a couple seconds.
Kumatora: Maybe I can…. Pk Fire!
-Hits the front row-
-Duster throws the Rope Snake and grabs the chandelier-
Duster: Hold on!
Kumatora: Nooo this guy smells…
-Wess grabs Kumatora-
-They swing to safety-
All of them: Wooooh. Ugh.
-They're safely on the other side-
-The spirits can't chase after them anymore-
Kumatora: I just hope we never have to do that again…
-There's another gap in front of them-
Kumatora: AHHHHH!
-Scene transition-
Wess: Well if my memory is still working, the treasure is just beyond this door.
Kumatora: So chop chop. Open the door.
Wess: Don't rush me.
-Wess opens the door-
-Inside on an altar is an egg-
Duster: Is that?
Wess: Yes. The Hummingbird egg. THIS is what I wanted you to catch.
Kumatora: The funny thing is no one knows why it's important. It's all just a fuzzy dream really. All we know is that this Hummingbird egg could very well save the world.
Wess: But you being your moron self, failed to find it. What kind of thief doesn't even know what's important?
Duster: Sorry.
Kumatora: Hey, you should stop calling your son a moron. If he is a moron like you said, he wouldn't even be able to know what that means. Well enough of that. We might as well get going.
-Kumatora takes the Egg off the altar-
Wess: Princess STOP!
Kumatora: Hu?
Wess: Don't you remember how I told you I set traps on the egg last time I had it?
Kumatora: …Traps?
-Floor opens-
Kumatora: ….Oooh.
-They fall-
Wess: PRINCEEEEEES!
Kumatora: My bad….
-They continue falling-
All: Ahhhh!
-They crash into water-
-Kumatora and Wess begin to swim up-
-Duster notices the egg sinking so he chases after it-
-At surface-
Kumatora and Wess: *Exhales deeply*
Kumatora: We're alive.
Wess: Princess! You're okay.
Kumatora: Yeah…. OH NO!
Wess: If you're worried about Duster, don't. I put him through far worse things than this.
Kumatora: Why would I care about Duster? It's the Egg I'm worried about.
Wess: ...OH CRAP!
-Duster comes out from under the water-
Duster: *Exhales deeply*
Wess: Duster! Do you have the Egg?
Duster: *Panting* Yeah.
-Shows Wess the Egg-
Wess: Duster I…. THANK YOU. I take back the 11 times I called you a moron!
Duster: Thanks.
Kumatora: Hey, where's the exit?
-Silence-
Kumatora: Well those skeletons kinda make me feel uncomfortable… We need to find a way out.
-There's a large shadow underneath them-
Wess: Oh this can NOT be good.
-Something wraps around Kumatora's foot-
Kumatora: Hu? …Whaa!
-Kumatora is pulled underneath water-
Wess: Princess!
-Silence-
Wess: Duster do something!
-A large Oh-So-Snake comes out from underwater with Kumatora holding on to its tail-
-The Oh-so Snake is shaking Kumatora around-
Kumatora: Whaaa Whaaaaaa Whaa! Someone get me down!
-Duster throws a smoke bomb-
-The Oh-So-Snake eats it-
-The bomb blows up in its mouth-
-The Oh-So-Snake is coughing-
-It loses grip of Kumatora-
-In midair-
Kumatora: Pk Thunder!
-Kumatora shocks the Oh-So-Snake-
-Oh-So-Snake roars-
Kumatora: That wasn't enough to get him?
Wess: Well… It's time for my ultimate plan. Duster Hold still.
Duster: Hey what are you doing?
Wess: Just give me a sec.
-Wess throws one of Dusters sock at the Oh-So-Snake-
-Sniff-
-The Oh-So-Snake passes out-
Wess: Princess! Use another Electric attack!
Kumatora: If I use thunder when I'm touching water we'd all be dead.
-Duster grabs Kumatora's hand-
Kumatora: Hu?!
-Duster throws her into the air-
Kumatora: Waaaah!
Duster: Now!
Kumatora: Fine!
-Shoots thunder at the Oh-So-Snake-
-The Oh-So-Snake is down-
-Kumatora falls face first into the water-
Kumatora: YOU! Don't do that again! Wess, I take it back. You're son really is a moron!
*Clank*
Duster: What was that?
Kumatora: Am I the only one who notices the water level dropping?
Wess: Grab on to something!
Kumatora: Like what!
-There's a whirlpool in the middle of the room-
All: Ahhhhh!
-They are all under water-
-Screen fades to black-
-On the beach shore-
-Kumatora slowly opens her eyes-
-She jumps up-
Kumatora: AH! …Hu? I'm alive? Neat.
Wess: Hey I'm here too.
Kumatora: Yeah but we're still missing something.
Wess: Hm? Oh Crap Duster!
Kumatora: Well he couldn't have gotten too far off. Might as well look for him.
Wess: Agreed.
-They walk off-
Lighter: ….was that Wess?
-Lighter notice a HUGE snake washed up on the shore-
Lighter: WHAT THE!
-In town-
Kumatora: Hey have you seen Duster?
Isaac: No, sorry.
Butch: Duster? Where is he?!
Abbot: Calm down Butch. For the last time we don't know anything.
Lisa: And for the last time, what's money?
Paul: And why is it so important?
Butch: You see… It's important! And Wess and Duster are thieves! We've never had anything important to steal before now. Now that we have something as important as money they couldn't help but take it from me! Duster was the only one who knew the money's location! How do you explain that?!
Biff: Hey just take a breath Butch.
Butch: Don't touch me!
Kumatora: Ugh, Can You Shut Up!
Butch: Eek!
-Hides behind Biff-
Kumatora: Look Duster didn't take your stupid Money! He was with us the whole night. Care to explain that! Can't? I see. So stop whining.
-Flint enters the town square-
Flint: What's going on?
Butch: DUSTER STOLE MY MONEY!
Flint: Where is Duster?
Kumatora: That's just it. Duster has gone missing.
Flint: Well. Let's all just think about it. Raising our voices won't get Butch's... Money? Back. And neither will it find Duster. We all just need to be patient, and wait for Duster to return and hear his side of the story. Okay?
Wess: Duster….. You're such a moron.
Kumatora: *sigh* Well. I guess we wait.
-Screen fades-
