The funny thing happened. Ikkou decided it would be better to buy some plane tickets to reach Sandy Thieve Island. Still waiting for the funny thing? So Ikkou gave the tickets to Talon for safe keeping ( yeah smart decision) and he traded them for train tickets. This isn't where the funny thing comes. Ikkou said " Okay. Let's go on a train then." But when they reached the train station a man too old for braces traded the train tickets for bicycle tickets. Ikkou said, " Okay...we will go buy some bicycles to Sandy Thieve Island." So they walked to the bike station, but when they walked there a talking Sun Apple came out and sold them plane tickets...
" Fist of the Nail Desert Line!"
Talon's fingernails grew into a long line like a river. He knocked the Sun Apple into the ground. The Sun Apple didn't sell them the tickets and they took the bicycles instead. The funny thing is if they just walked three miles they would be at the Sandy Thieve Island in a jiffy.
Sandy Thieve Island deserved the word sandy. It wasn't an island, just a beach. A beach with lots of girls in swimsuits, jockey men who looked like football players, and all kinds of strange creatures. There were polar bears lying on the beach getting a tan, brown stable antelope's playing beach volleyball, and petulant stick figures getting into arm wrestle matches.
" Wow." Ikkou said looking at the beach. " This is either a beach or a really easy college. Where are we going to find your ancestors book, Nyssa-" Talon did something very drastic. He changed his clothes and was wearing a girl bathing suit. Ikkou's eyes bulged out. " THAT'S TOO SMALL FOR YOU! But if that's what Talon is wearing I wonder what Nyssa is wearing?"
Ikkou imagined what Nyssa would look like wearing a bathing suit. Everything around him seemed to be shining. Her hair was effervescent sparkling, her skin was glossy, and she was wearing a red swimsuit. All her dead skin was gone and she looked beautiful. Ikkou broke out of his imaginary vision of Nyssa and looked at her. She was even more scary than before. Her scary aura thickened to malevolent action.
" He's here," she said. She raised both her knives up preparing to attack. Ikkou shivered.
" Put your knife down, Nyssa. Who are you looking for? We can help you but you have to explain things more clearly."
" Like what?"
" Well you can start by explaining a little more about the people who stole your grandmother's book. Are you sure we can find them here?"
" Of course you'll find them here. It's written on the brochure." Nyssa took out a small folded piece of paper and gave it to Ikkou. Ikkou opened the brochure, pictures of seven people were on it. Ikkou took some time to remember their faces before he read what was on the top. " If you want to find us so you can fight us or maybe want to sell us some All-Brain Bar's than come visit us at Sandy Thieve Island."
" Okay. That's a big clue."
Ikkou heard the sound of engines blasting through the beach. Ikkou saw tanks moving through the beach. Each one had the picture of Talon on the side. Ikkou expected everyone to move off the beach when they saw the tanks, but the hatch's open and three happy bear's jumped out. They jumped off the tanks and hugged everyone they came across.
" There he is!"
Talon jumped out of the tank and slammed his fist into a man wearing only black clothing and skull earrings. But it wasn't a man. It was a potato head man. Talon uppercut his fist into the potato's head, but he blocked it growing two giant potatoes in his fist.
" Potato Rocket!"
Two large potato's were fired from the man's hands. SLOW MOTION! Talon waited into the potato's were near his face. He sprinkled the potato's with peppers and ate them in one bite. His vegetarian instincts took control of him. The potato man saw Talon eating the potato and smiled.
" Hey!" Ikkou showed up beside Talon waving his Capricorn staff around. " You're one of the bandits who stole Nyssa's book!"
" That's right. My name is Spud. Spud the Potato man. I'm a Hair Hunt Trooper."
" A Hair Hunt Trooper stealing someone's book? I thought all you wanted to do was shave everyone's heads?"
" We are trying to restore order by making everyone as bald as Baldy Bald. If stealing helps people want to go bald than we'll do it. Potato Rain!"
The sky turned brown. It started to shower potatoes and yams. It hit the beach hard. Everyone went by with their regular routines and eventually the rain stopped. The whole sand was covered in potatoes.
" That doesn't scare us. Get him, Talon-" Ikkou saw Talon rolling on the ground eating the potatoes. Ikkou forgot Talon was a vegetarian. Against this opponent he would be useless.
" Can't the great Talon the Rebel fight a simple hunger pain?" Spud laughed. " He's no help to you. He's nothing but a turnip brained muscle body. You deserve better than to be with him. Why don't you leave Talon and come join the Hair Hunt Troops. We'll even let you keep your hair."
" Forget it! You're just asking me to betray my friends. I would never betray them no matter what you offer. If Talon isn't going to stop you...than I will. Even if I have to fight you!"
