Chapter 1: The Siren's Call Back
(Shantae's dream)
It appeared to be a calm dark night, but the Tropical Night running. Almost as if it was running away from something. As the Tropical Night was fleeing, a looming shadow appeared to be trailing the Tropical Night. Eventually, the Tropical Night was cornered at a dead end and whatever was chasing after him was closing in. The Tropical Night turned around and backed up into a rock while trying to extend his stinger. The shadow of the stalker was seen on the rock the Tropical Night was backing up into. The silhouette was very reminiscent of a certain villain from a Shantae game. This mysterious figure was about to reach for the Tropical Night.
(Shantae's house)
Shantae woke up screaming in her bed. It was still the middle of the night, but she was having difficult falling back asleep after being woken up from that nightmare.
Shantae- What the hell?! What was that?!
Then Shantae remembers what she could about that dream.
Shantae- The Tropical Night…I know I haven't paid him a visit in a while, but…is he really in danger? His new home is supposed to be well hidden. But that silhouette…it couldn't be. I defeated her when I rescued those other half genies she tried to drain magic from.
Shantae looked out the window and into the distance of the ocean.
Shantae- Still, maybe it wouldn't hurt to check up on that little guy…just in case.
(Somewhere in the middle of the ocean)
There was a dinky looking lifeboat barely floating above the water. Riding it were six strange looking creatures. One of which was acting like she was dying.
Tubeworm Siren- This is not good! Empress Siren is not doing well!
Water Lily Siren- Tell us something we don't know!
Empress Siren- Shut up and fine me some magic…I'm so desperate…anything will do…
This this other siren who was working with a computer looked at the screen and picked up something.
Coral Siren- Hang on, your majesty. I think my radar got something. I'm picking up a small trace of genie magic. Very small, but might do to keep you stable. And it's coming from that island over there.
All the other sirens look towards where Coral Siren was pointing to and realized the island was close by.
Octo Serin- That's not far. We should be able to reach that island in an hour.
Empress Siren- Anything will do…I've got to get some kind of magic…or I'll starve before long…
