The next morning, the Wario brothers woke up and stretched a little. As soon as Waluigi rubbed his eyes, he looked shocked!
"What's up? You look pale." said a concerned Wario. "What's the matter, did you go bankrupt again?"
Wario looked in the same direction and he got the same shocked gaze as Waluigi. It turns out that they were in some sort of medieval-themed village where the population is, well...medievalish.
"This is different." said Waluigi.
"I'll say. Everyone's dressed like peasants." replied Wario.
"That's because they ARE peasants, doofus" said Waluigi.
"Halt, trespassers!" said a strange voice.
Wario and Waluigi turned around to see a knight in shining armour standing in front of them.
"Ye shalt not disturb the peace of this village, fiendish ogres!" said the knight.
"Ogres? Who are YOU calling ogres, you walking tin can!" retorted Wario.
"If thou do not leave this place immediately, I will smite thee with my mighty sword!" said the knight, not paying attention to Wario's comment.
"Whatever. You don't scare me." replied an unimpressed Wario while cleaning an ear with his finger.
The knight suddenly unsheathed his sword.
"Charge!" said the knight as he charged towards Wario.
As soon as the knight got close to Wario, Wario raised his fist and the knight charged straight into it, knocking him out.
"That was stupid. When do we get to eat breakfast?" asked Wario.
The knight suddenly got up on his feet.
"Foolish fiend! Prepare to be-"
The knight got bonked on the head by a staff, knocking him out. A short old man with a white beard and a brown cloak was the one holding the staff.
"(sigh) Some things never change." said the old man.
"Who are you?" asked Waluigi.
"My name is Geezer." replied the old man. "And you are?"
"I'm Waluigi and this is my brother Wario." said Waluigi.
"Who's that guy?" asked Wario as he pointed to the unconscious knight whom had stars spinning around his head.
"That is Sir Hurtsalot. He takes his job FAR too seriously. As a result, he attacks anyone who looks threatening and/or ugly." replied Geezer.
"Ugly? (turns to Waluigi) Waluigi, do I look ugly to you?" asked an angry Wario.
"Uh, no! You're not ugly, you're um, a handsome devil!" replied Waluigi.
"Good. For a second there, I felt insulted." said Wario.
"You must be hungry, are you not?" asked Geezer.
"You bet I am!" replied Wario while rubbing his belly.
"Yaaaaaaaaaaahh!" yelled Sir Hurtsalot as he got back on his feet.
Geezer simply knocked him out with his staff again.
"Boy, that guy sure is relentless." commented Wario.
"He had too much coffee this morning." said Geezer. "Anyway, would you like to accompany me to the castle for some breakfast?"
"Yeah! Er, I mean...yes." replied Wario.
"Yaaaahh!" yelled Sir Hurtsalot as he got back on his feet again.
Geezer knocked him out with his staff yet again.
"Can we go to your castle before this guy kills us?" asked urgently Waluigi.
"Gladly." replied Geezer.
A few minutes later, Wario, Waluigi, and Geezer arrived at the local castle. Once they went inside, they had a small breakfast. Well, "small" for the others; Wario ate plenty of food including 10 chickens, 20 pies, 3 piles of fruit, 5 boars and even a small slice of toast.
"There is something I wanted to ask you; What is this place called?" asked Waluigi.
"Oh dear! That idea did not even occur to me! This quiet little village is called "Camel-lot"." said Geezer.
""Camel-lot"? Talk about a stupid name." said Wario while eating.
"It is best if you do not stay in it." said Geezer.
"Why?" asked Waluigi.
"For ages, our village had been terrorized by a vile beast named Po-Go. Every time it came into town, it demanded to have one of his wishes fulfilled or else he would eat 10 of the villagers for supper. We were forced to fill out every one of his demands, whether it is feeding him, entertaining him or rubbing his smelly feet... But those were nothing compared to what would come next. Po-Go had recently demanded to be married to our fair maiden princess Grape. We would never let a disgusting creature like that sit on the throne, so we refused to fill out his demand. Unfortunately, he kidnapped princess Grape and took her to his cave. He told us that if he did not get to marry her within 3 days, he would devour her." explained Geezer. "No one dares to venture into Po-go's cave as many never came back from it. We do not know what to do. Will you help us?"
Wario immediately spat out the pie he was eating.
"What? There's NO way I'm going to run around saving damsels in distress!" said Wario.
"Why not? I mean, Mario's been doing doing it for years." said Waluigi.
"So? I explore for money, not sassy girls wearing frilly dresses!" replied Wario.
"You refuse? Oh well. It is too bad. I was hoping you young ones would venture into Po-Go's cave filled with riches and save princess Grape. But I respect your decision..." said Geezer.
"Riches?" asked Wario and Waluigi, surprised.
"On second thought, I might as well try it. Who knows? It might be fun!" said Wario.
"You accept? Splendid! I shall prepare some food for your trip." said Geezer.
Sir Hurtsalot suddenly came bursting through the front door.
"What? Impossible! I shalt be the one whom will venture into the cave, slayeth the beast and rescue our fair maiden Grape!" said Sir Hurtsalot.
"No! You will do no such thing! You are foolish and careless! You are not even fit to be part of the knights of the rectangle table!" replied Geezer!
"I deserve this honour more than these atrocities! Thou have doomed us all, Geezer!" said Sir Hurtsalot.
Sir Hurtsalot left the castle.
"Right. I shall prepare your rations for your voyage. Meet me back here in two hours." said Geezer.
Two hours later...
"Here you go." said Geezer as he handed some food to the two brothers. "The path to Po-Go's cave will be dangerous. Are you ready for it?"
"Yeah, I guess so." replied Wario.
"Excellent. Come back safely with the princess." said Geezer.
"Don't worry, we will...I hope." said Waluigi.
The Wario brothers left the castle and went on a dangerous path leading to Po-Go's cave...
