Chapter 2: Sub from Down Under

(Scuttle Town at dawn)

Shantae was at the Scuttle Town docks looking for a boat to borrow. Sky, Bolo, and Rottytops were also there with her.

Shantae- Oh! Come on! One of these boats has to be available!

Sky- Shantae, I know you're worried, but don't you think you're overacting?

Rottytops- Actually, I think it's adorable. She thinks of the Tropical Night as her child, just as that little guy thinks of her as his mommy.

Bolo- Why not just use that wrist portal device Ty made for you and the rest of the Super Mario Brothers' Team?

Shantae- Because Perfect Tabuu destroyed them during our fight before my mother and the original team showed up to assist us. But I don't have time for this! I need to find a way to get to the island where we hid the Tropical Night.

As Shantae was walking along the dock, she passes by Ty without realizing it. Ty was carrying a create over to a submarine. Shantae might've not noticed Ty, but Ty however noticed her.

Ty- Oh…hey there, Shantae.

Shantae- Hi, Ty.

Right after Shantae said that, she then realized that Ty was in Scuttle Town and ran up to him.

Shantae- Ty?!

Ty- Yes?

Shantae- What are you doing in Scuttle Town?

Ty- Trying to move this box of supplies to me sub, shela.

Shantae- What are the supplies for?

Ty- For Buramudgee. Not everything has been repaired since that Perfect Tabuu incident and we can't just regrow our crops. Luckily, the Mayor of Scuttle Town as offered to sell some to us at a reasonable price. I'm just loading them into me sub so we can bring them back to Buramudgee.

Shantae- We?

Then Shantae sees Shazza, Sly, Fluffy, and Fang inside the submarine. As Ty was loading the boxes into the storage of the submarine, Shantae approached Ty.

Shantae- Ty, I know this might sound sudden, but do you think you can do me a favor?

Ty- Something wrong, Shantae?

Shantae- You could say that. You remember the Tropical Night? I had this dream last night about the Tropical Night being attacked…by a familiar foe I believed I dealt with in the past. But to the point, I need a ride to the island where we put the Tropical Night and make sure he's alright! Please, mate!

Sly- No way! We need to get these supplies to Buramudgee and we don't have time for stowaways or side trips.

Then Shazza slaps Sly in the back of his head.

Sly- Hey!

Shazza- That's very rude of you, Sly! Let me tell you something, if I had a bad dream about something happening to Fang, I too would want to make sure he's alright as soon as possible. Isn't that right, Fang?

Then Shazza began tickling Fang while he was still in the baby harness Shazza was wearing and Fang giggled a bit.

Fluffy- The Tropical Night…that's that strange creature who can control the minds of other living beings sticking his stinger into them who also thinks the half genie girl is his mother? I agree that we should make sure it's okay, because it could be trouble if something like the Tropical Night falls into the wrong hands.

Ty turned to look at Shantae and put his paws on his hips.

Ty- (Sigh)…Alright, Shantae. We'll make a stop to the island, but you owe me for making this detour.

Shantae- Thank you, Ty! And don't worry! I'll make this as quick as I can!

(In the oceans near Scuttle Town)

Boss Cass was looking through a telescope, but he was actually on Risky Boots' pirate ship. Boss Cass saw Shantae, Sky, Bolo, and Rottytops getting onboard Ty's submarine.

Boss Cass- And here I thought Ty was gathering food to replace the Australian crops while those mammals attempted to regrow them after Perfect Tabuu destroyed most of the land. But what could be happening to make that genie beg that rat boy for a ride?

Then Risky Boots appeared behind Boss Cass.

Risky Boots- Who cares what those heroes are doing?

Boss Cass- Well I say we follow them. Something tells me we could benefit from this.

Risky Boots- And why should I take orders from you, Boss Cass? This is my ship and crew!

Boss Cass put the spyglass away and turned to face Risky Boots.

Boss Cass- Need I remind you that you owe me for saving your life recently. Your ship was caught in that giant whirlpool and I happened to have spotted you and towed you out of there. If it wasn't for me, you, your crew, and this ship would've been sleeping with the fishes at the bottom of the ocean. Besides, I could use a win after I returned empty handed when I assisted Eggman with his treasure hunt.

Risky Boots- (Groan)…alright, fine, Boss Cass. But you better not push it or I might decide to add roasted cassowary on the menu tonight.

Then Risky Boots turned around to face some of her Tinkerbat crew.

Risky Boots- Alright men, follow that submarine, but keep our distance so they won't expect we're following them.
