The Ymir Forest. Just the mention of it can drive the most peaceful gamer into a fit of fruit-induced rage. WHY?The stupid, idiotic fruit was TWO INCHES OUT INTO THE WATER! BUT NOOOOOOOOO! LLOYD COULDN'T GRAB IT!
pant pant pant
Ok, fruit-induced rage over. But what was his excuse again? Dangerous FISH? How pathetic!
Or is it?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A while back, about 20 years ago, a young boy was working for Yggdrasil. His name, you ask? Why, Forcystus! he was only, like, 11 when he started being all evil and stuff. Go figure.
"Aww, but why can't I help resurrect Martel?" whined a young, sniveling Forcystus.
"Because!" Yggdrasil bit back an angry reply as the little brat whined for the MILLIONTH time. No, anger wasn't the answer here. He had a better idea. A FAR better idea...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ok, time to make Mr. Yggdrasil proud!" Forcystus said to himself as he wandered the docks of the Ymir Forest. "What was it he wanted again? Oh, yes, a Ymir Fruit. If his directions are correct, I just shake this tree, and..." PLOP! The Ymir Fruit dropped into the water with a splash.
"Hmmm... it fell into the water. Oh, well, I'll just reach in and get it out! Then Mr. Yggdrasil will let me help resurrect Martel for sure!
So, he reached out the 2 inches to grab the fruit, and...
CHOMP! GNAW! DISMEMBER!
...Wow. Those little fish are scary in large numbers.
Back on Derris-Kharlan, Yggdrasil was just finishing his particularly amusing story to his evil minions.
"...And then I told him, 'Well, if you want to help me resurrect Martel, then go get me a Ymir Fruit! Hahahahahahahahaha!"
"Hahahahahahahahahaha!" came the droning laughter of his lifeless minions.
"Oh, that prank was FANTASTIC! No one survives reaching into the Ymir Forest lake... unscathed."
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And that concludes my tale. Forcystus was fitted with a bionic arm, and continued to work for Yggdrasil. Go figure. THAT is the real reason you had to go through that infuriating fish thing, my good people. And the reason Forcystus has that RIDICULOUS bionic arm, too.
So, uhhh... THE END!
P.S. I don't own Namco or ToS, but if I did, THAT WOULD ROCK!
