Chapter 4



Yui reached the lighthouse in Olivine City in no time at all. She was about to walk inside and get the third Essence of Sugar, but to her surprise, the door to the lighthouse was locked!

Yui: "Great, I'm gonna need one of those little keys, aren't I?"

Author: "I dunno… Why don't you go and find out?"

Yui: "Can't I look up a walkthrough or something?"

Author: (glares)

Yui: "All right! I'll look for a key."

Yui walks through the small village, looking out for a treasure box or a key on the ground. But she finds nothing, and slowly begins to become frustrated.

Yui: "Frustrated? I'm going CRAZY here!"

Suddenly, as Yui is about to give up, she notices a sailor walking up to the lighthouse. She sees him knock on parts of the door in a sequence, and the door opens to admit him to the tower.

Yui: "Spiffy!"

She runs up to the door and begins to furiously pound on it. Suddenly, a buzz rings out, and an electric shock runs through the door, shocking Yui lightly.

Yui: "… Owch."

Guessing that she has to figure out the code for the door in order to get in, Yui walks back into the city and begins to look around for clues. Suddenly, another sailor approaches the door.

Yui: "Excuse me? Can you show me how to open the door?"

Sailor: "This tower's only for the sailors to climb! We're having a problem with the lighthouse and we're trying to figure it out!"

Yui: "Well… I can help you! See, I have a sword! I'm a hero!"

Sailor: "… All right. I'll let you come in with me."

The sailor-man proceeds to knock on the door in a rhythmical pattern, and it swings open with rusty hinges. Yui slowly steps in after him, and dramatically spins around, surprised, as the door slams shut behind her.

Yui: "Well.. Time to search."

Yui begins to climb toward the top of the lighthouse, cautiously looking around for any of Whitney's evil bunnies. To her surprise there are none… the tower had already been cleared out by the sailors. She climbs for twenty minutes straight, and comes to a small room in the middle of the tower where the Mini-Boss lives.

Yui: "Hello? Any Mini-bosses home?"

Voice: "Har, har! I'm here, and ready to fight!"

Yui: "Aah! Evil sailor!"

Sailor: "Leave my tower, or I'll… I'll…"

Yui: "You'll what? Throw your spinach at me?"

Sailor: "…"

Yui: "Hyaa!" (swings her sword at the sailor)

Suddenly, the sailor drops to the ground, fainted. Out of nowhere appears the evil pink bunny that had possessed the sailor!"

Yui: "How does a bunny possess something?"

Author: "Never mind!"

Anyway… Yui makes short work of the bunny with her sword. After collecting her life-reviving fairy, she tries to go further but discovers there are no more stairs to climb!

Yui: "Let me guess… I have to go back to the beginning and start all over and find some different stairs?"

Author: "You got it."

Yui, sighing deeply, enters the small warp point that appeared and teleports back to the front door of the tower. Then, she starts back up the stairs again, this time taking a different route. She drops down into a hole and walks up some stairs on the other side of the tower!

Yui: "Whee… exciting."

Finally, Yui comes to a spot where the floors are moving. At the other end of the moving floor is a big red treasure chest… and below her, solid ground. If Yui fell, her journey would be over.

Yui: "Thanks for the lovely vote of confidence."

She starts across the moving bridges… Hey Yui, I said "she starts moving!"

Yui: (curled up on the floor) "I dun wanna."

Author: (uses her super "control pad" powers to move Yui manually across the moving floors) "I think you'd be better off doing this on your own… I'm really bad with controls…"

Yui: "OKAY!"

So she starts moving across the floor on her own. With agility, she bounds to the other side faster than ever!

Yui: "Great!" (opens the treasure box to reveal the Boss Key, and then runs back to the other side)

Author: "I'd like to bring up now that you could have used Falkner's Ring…"

Yui: "Shut up."

After a little bit more searching, Yui finds the door to the Boss Room. She unlocks the door and enters, climbing one last set of stairs to the very top floor of the lighthouse. Dramatic music surrounds her as she goes further into the room.

Yui: "Um… Is anyone here?"

Suddenly, a huge crash is heard! Yui spins around to see… to see…

Yui: "A giant light bulb?"

Light Bulb: "…" (Light bulbs can't talk, smarty-pants)

Yui slashes at the light bulb with her sword, shattering it. Nothing happens.

Yui: "… I defeated it. What now?"

Author: "You have to clean up the mess before you win! After all, somebody might step on the glass!"

Yui: "Oh, sheesh."

So our heroine sweeps up the glass with a broom, and places it safely in the garbage. Suddenly, a door flies open, admitting Yui into the room with the Essence of Sugar. She runs in to claim the baby-pink circle from the glowing altar.

Falkner's voice: "You got the Pink Cookie, an Essence of Sugar!"

Yui: "Ooh! Is it one of those pink cookies that's purely infected with sugar?"

Falkner: "Yes.. It's called a sugar cookie… DON'T EAT IT YUI!"

His voice startles her, making her drop the cookie that she was about to eat.

Yui: "Why? I love sugar cookies!"

Falkner: "You need it to save Morty! Maybe he'll make you some sugar cookies when you save him!"

Yui: (face lights up) Ooh!! Morty sugar-cookies… whee!"

Yui packs up the Pink Cookie and leaves the Olivine Lighthouse. Light surrounds her as she steps outside.

Voice of Dunsparce: "Well, Yui, you have successfully collected your third Essence of Sugar."

Yui: (sarcastically) "Wow, know what, I didn't know that!"

Dunsparce: "Yui, your next destination is the Slowpoke Well near Azalea Town. You must get the fourth Essence from there!"

Yui: "Can't I take a break?"

Dunsparce: "…"
