Chapter 2: Family Dilemma

(At the docks of Buramudgee Beach)

Maurie, Sly, Shazza, and Fang were standing at the docks, waiting for Ty to return. But since Fang is a Tasmanian tiger cub less than a year old, Shazza had him in a baby harness and it looked like Shazza was wearing Fang on her chest. Eventually, they saw the submarine emerge from the water.

Maurie- There he is!

As the sub moved towards the docks, Maurie, Shazza, and Sly rushed to it. The hatch opened and Ty jumped out.

Maurie- That was fast, mate.

Sly- Ty, did you find out what's going on in Cassopolis?

Ty- Well, I never made it to Cassopolis. I crossed paths with some friends and things came up.

Then Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong jumped out of the sub.

Donkey Kong- Kind of cramped in there.

Diddy Kong- Actually, you're just a bit big, DK.

Maurie- Well clip me wings and pluck me bold! That's Donkey Kong, another member of the Super Mario Brothers' Team!

Sly- You turned around just to introduce us to one of your allies on the Mario's team?

Ty- Not exactly, mate.

Donkey Kong- A powerful item called the Crystal Coconut was taken from us by King K. Rool and if we don't get it back soon…bad things can happen for both Kongo Jungle and Buramudgee.

Ty- And seeing how dire the situation was, I offered to help.

Then Shazza walked up to Ty with a concerned look on her face.

Shazza- Possum…can I have a word please?

Ty- What is it, Shazza?

Shazza- It's just…you promised you'd finally get back to helping with raising Fang soon. He needs his daddy as much as he needs his mommy.

Ty- (Groans) I know! I'm not happy about this either! Believe me!

Donkey Kong- What's the matter, Ty?

Ty- If you must know, ever since that battle with Tabuu in Grand Metropolis, I've been spending all me time working. Building those communicators, portal machines, scanners to detect if Tabuu is coming, etc. However, I've been spending so much time working, I've been leaving Shazza to raise our son, Fang, all by herself. In other words, I've been neglecting me duties as a dad.

Diddy Kong- That little guy is your son?

Donkey Kong- Oh yeah. I remember Mario and Luigi telling us about your cub. He's adorable!

Donkey Kong wiggles his index finger around Fang's belly and begins tickling him a bit. Fang laughs for a bit, but then he attempted to bite Donkey Kong's finger. Luckily, Donkey Kong pulled his paw away before Fang could bite him.

Shazza- Sorry about that. We named him Fang for a reason. And please don't be mad at Fang. He's only 10 months old.

Ty- Anyway Shazza, I promise that the second I get all these tasks done, it will be my turn to care for Fang. Cross me heart. Is Julius still at the lab in Buramudgee? I think we're gonna need him.

Maurie- Last I saw, he was. Shazza still has her jeep parked outside. I suppose we can use that to get there.

Shazza- I don't know if DK will fit. By looking at his size, he probably might take up the entire back row.

Donkey Kong- You saying I'm fat?

Ty- No, mate. You got a lot of muscle on yah and it makes you bulky. In fact, you're actually bigger than everyone else on the Mario Brothers' Team.

(Cassopolis)

Boss Cass and his minions were attempting the experiment again, but like before, it caused a power surge and the entire island lost power.

Boss Cass- God damn it! Not again! Why does this keep happening?!

Carlos- We need more power than I am capable of generating to bring these Franken-Frills to life. I'm trying my best, but this requires a lot energy.

Boss Cass- I don't want excuses! Now clean up this mess before I mop the floor with all of you!

Then all of Boss Cass' blue tongues and frills got scared and began cleaning the lair up like there was no tomorrow. Then Boss Cass walked to the window and stared out the window.

Boss Cass- There must be a way to generate enough power to bring my Franken-Frills to life without it exploding in my face like that. Think, Boss Cass! Think!

Then Boss Cass remembers the five Mystic Talismans from "Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 1" and all the power they contain.

Boss Cass- That's it! The Mystic Talismans! They have countless magic properties! If they could open a portal to another dimension, surely they can power my machines to bring my creation to life!

Carlos- Yes, but after Ty defeated you and took the Mystic Talismans back to their shrine on Rainbow Cliffs, the Bunyip spirits gave you two choices. Never set foot on Rainbow Cliffs ever again or lose your soul to the Bunyips.

Boss Cass- You don't need to remind me, Carlos. I remember well what the Bunyips told me. I might not be allowed to go to Rainbow Cliffs, but my henchmen are. Send the troops and ready the Uber Frills. I just know Ty will try and stop us from taking the talismans again.

Carlos- As you wish, Boss Cass.
