Chapter 3

They walked into Jolley Roger's Lagoon, Kazooie wise-cracking all the way, and entered Jolly's Inn. "Jolly? Jolly?" Banjo called. No response, he just simply wasn't there. They walked into the only "room" in the "inn" (where JamJars tought them how to aim eggs underwater) and no sign of anyone, and JamJars didn't come up through his Silo when they walked on top of it and pressed B... I mean, called for him...

But what amazed them most was that the crazy Captain Stop N Swop... err.. i mean Captain Blackeye wasn't even there! They were really starting to freak out. "Well, as the-a tree said to the lumberjack, 'I am Stumped!'" Banjo said in a funny voice to Kazooie, who was just totally silent in light of the horrible 'joke' Banjo had thought he made. "Banjo, sometimes I don't know how we ever became friends..." Kazooie mumbled. "What's that?" "Nothing, Banjo..."

So, they left Jolly Roger's Lagoon, and were really confused, and then Banjo suggested something.

"Hey Banjo Boy, you ever stop to think that maybe everyone's in Grunty's old lair? I mean, maybe they moved those huge bolders..."

"Are you kiddin', Banjo? I couldn't even break those boulders. I don't know how anyone else could have, I mean, I can shoot Grenades out of my 'effin mouth, and it ain't no walk in the park, either..."

"Kazooie!" Banjo shouted. "Well, I mean, it's worth a shot, it's clear to me that no one's in any of 'tooie's worlds...Maybe everyone's at Treasure Trove Cove havin' a par-tay or somethin..."

"What makes you think that? There could be some people in other worlds..." Kazooie contradicted.

"Well, let's just go there to check."

"But HailFire Peaks is right here... and that's a really cool level..." Kazooie complained.

"Fine, we can check out HailFire first...but more walking for me..."

"Oh, quit complainin', honey-belly, it's not that far..."

So they walked into the tiny little hut that magically somehow took them to a huge giant fire world known as the fire side of HailFire Peaks.

"Oops, I forgot, Banjo... There's no one in HailFire peaks except stonies... My bad.."

"It's OK, Kazooie Guh-huh!"

So, after their little detour in HailFire Peaks, they took the warp silo back to Jinjo Village and then entered the Digger Tunnel on their way to Grunty's old lair. However, they weren't greeted very friendly...

Because as soon as they entered the Digger Tunnel, Banjo noticed that the air was a bit more greenish than normal... He started feeling dizzy, and so did Kazooie... A few seconds later he and Kazooie were kocked out and on the floor unconcious...

A few hours later, he woke up in his bed, with Kazooie sleeping in the age-old backpack. Banjo woke up slowly, as he seemed really really sleepy.. Finally he was wide awake and so was Kazooie.

They got up and started walking outside, and was pleased to find Bottles' there.

"Hello...er...a...umm... Bango?" Bottles said in a weird voice, very hesitently...

"Umm... Bottles? Are you ok? You sound kinda... different...Are you OK?" Banjo said in a polite way.

"Yeah, goggle boy, you seem less geeky, it's kinda weird! Breeee! Nice name, Bango! Hahaha Bree!"

"Sure... A joke... Bango... That is his name... isn't it?... I mean... Of course it is! So... uhh... how have you been... Ban... Ban.. Bango...?"
