VOLCANIC TROUBLES

2,000 years passed after the discovery of Mystery Island, and it is still wonderful, with lush forests and glorious fruits growing on every piece of vegetation you could imagine.

And you thought it would last?

Of course, in modern day Neopia, the need for tribes and what-not was, well, no longer needed and the five elders just became regular Islanders, though the descendants of the original Islanders knew that they possessed great powers that were demonstrated when a terrible plot happened.

The Volcano which they had sealed so many years ago was somehow opened once more, but no one realized this yet. The Shaman kidnapped Jhudiah the Island Faerie, closing down the Trading Post entirely and disabling the proper use of the Mystery Island Cooking Pot. Stuffing her in a bowl mainly used for petpets at the Rock Pool Petpet Shop, there she stayed for many hours until the Neopians found out the secrets of the Tabogo Potion and used it to free the Island Faerie. She found a note that looked as if it was going to a superior. When questioned further, Jhudiah had remembered that she had forgotten to remember a very important word that was relevant to all this, and this word had disappeared from all of Neopia at the time: OF!

The Tiki Tack Man, another elder, then just vanished without a trace. When he returned, he was, well – blue. Fetch players were in luck: during a certain quest someone found a Magic Tiki Tack mask, which they gave to the cursed superior. He instantly changed back to mahogany and says that a shaman was inside the volcano and that he was going to unleash unspeakable terror upon the island – again. Could this be the figure that had appeared about a thousand years ago? We don't know, but he also gives us BEAST, another hidden word.

Next, when we thought that things were going to settle back to normal, the great Island Mystic went missing – think of all the frantic girls that needed to know whether Colby Eyrie wanted to take them to the NeoSchool dance! He returned shortly after, saying that he knew nothing of his capture but remembering the word AWAKEN. The islanders were mystified: OF, BEAST, AWAKEN… it sounded like there was something bad going on!

As things slowly grew more hectic, the Techo Master went missing (you can imagine the uproar that would happen on the Battledome boards if that happened again and they were all a second away from a 200 strength boost or something like that) and Techo Mountain became open for the public. Brave Neopets climbed up its slopes towards the mouth and investigated the area, but they found nothing. A great voice was soon heard from within: 'WHAT'S THE CODEWORD?'

Naturally, nobody knew, and nobody could open the Techo's Mouth to discover exactly what was inside. Just when all hope was to be forsaken, a beach on the western shore became open to all Neopians, and pets went storming inside, frantically seeing if anything special was there. However, there was nothing upon the sand, so they simply left it. However, at certain times during the minute and hour, there were reports of seeing certain letters on the sandy shores: HYAKLOB. When pronounced before the Techo's Mouth, it opened, and there was the Techo Master. Fight him with karate moves and he would break free from the stone and give you yet another word: MAGMA.

At the height of panic (basically, when the volcano started spewing smoke once more, the Tiki Tour Guide, the last of the elders, went missing! Goodness knows how he turned up in that shop, and all you had to do was send a Tabogo Potion to its owner – strange, isn't it? He also had a word: ANCIENT.

By going inside the volcano and saying ANCIENTBEASTOFMAGMAAWAKEN, a gigantic Moltemore (could it be THE beast?) sprang out of the lava and got rid of that evil Fire Faerie that was blocking your way. You run forwards and find the Shaman, an extremely ugly charcoal-black Kyrii holding a large staff. Running towards the Island Mystic, you receive four new sayings, which eventually lead to the incantation to get rid of the Shaman: BEGONEEVILSHAMANOFDARKNESS.

With a puff of smoke and a load iSNAP/i noise, the Shaman disappears. The five elders appear in the Volcano out of nowhere, ready to congratulate the person who has managed to free Mystery Island of the evil curse, and that person is…
