I threw my Smoke Bomb. Kumatora tried PK Thunder. Wess threw Thunder Bombs. Basically, we attacked from the skulls while the Oh-So-Snake dived, bit, and thrashed his tail. Once he was fried, the water suddenly became fierce, and the piles of skulls began to rattle. They were pulled into the edge of the room, us flowing with it. I clutched at the egg like it was my first born son.

Please note: This is now Kumatora's point of view. Duster kinda isn't here. And yes, this is the only time in the game where Kumatora is directly playable. …Wait, is there a suitable frog or so? I hate having to break the rules.

"Oh, you're up, geezer!"

"Apparently. Where is that moron?"

"Duster didn't wash up in the same place as us."

"…I'm sure he'll show up. They always do."

We rushed to Tazmily Square because why not.

"Where is that scum, Duster?" Butch asked.

"Why do you want that moron?"

"He stole my 'money'!"

"What is 'money'?"

Everyone was discussing that when Flint and Boney arrived.

"Look, everyone knows Wess and Duster are thieves! So they'd do something like this in a flash!" Butch said.

"SHUT UP, YOU PUNK! AND OPEN YOUR EARS!" I bellowed running straight at Butch.

"Wess. Mysterious girl. This fuss won't solve a thing if Duster is missing. We're on your side. Leave this matter be." Flint said wisely. I let go of Butch's overalls.

The mysterious group that has been tinkering with the forest creatures in an almost toy-like fashion has finally commenced its plan to alter the town, the lives, and even the hearts of the people.

It seems as if a grand scheme of some sort is hidden behind the actions of the suspicious peddler who has recently arrived.

However, not everyone is content to sit quietly by as the enemy continues its odious attacks from every angle.

Flint, who's family bonds were torn to shreds…

Wess and his son Duster, the Thieves of Justice…

Princess Kumatora, the mysterious girl who suddenly appeared…

Destiny is bringing together those who would use their power for good.

And what has become of Lucas, the crybaby…?

This chapter is dedicated to:

SATORU IWATA

For taking the time to reprogram Mother 2 to make the game sellable while keeping Itoi's charm.

Now do the same for Mother 1 and Mother 3 and we can get them outside of Japan too.
