The Knight and The Genie

Chapter 1: Risky's plot

By Dr. John Smith

Captain Risky Boots tossed a chalice across her captain's room. She scowled at a picture of the pesky half genie Shantae pinned on a dart board. She tossed more gold and riches off her desk, screaming in anger. "Shantae! That stupid Half-Genie!" Risky pulled out her cutlass and threw it at the dart board, wishing she could actually dispose of Shantae. "What am I going to do!? Every time I have a plan that stupid Genie is there to wreck and save her stupid little town..." Her face was red with anger. "I won't have it anymore!" She shouted.

Techno Baron, a lizard like man wearing what appeared to be an engine on his head, entered her room. Risky drew her cutlass at him. The Baron quivering. "Captain!"

"What do you want?" Risky snarled.

"Why don't you just put a bounty on the Half-Genie?" Techno Baron suggested. Risky lowered her cutlass.

"Not a bad idea." She turned to the the giant back window, looking over the ocean, "Take this down; Bounty on a ruthless Half-Genie Shantae. Reward is 2500 Jewls. Dead or Alive. Preferably dead." Risky said, turning to Techno. The lizardman was writing all of it down. Risky gave an evil laugh. "This is perfect, now to let someone else deal with Shantae. What town are we ported in?" She ordered Techno Baron and the Tinkerbats to put the wanted posters all over the seven seas. Her plan was full proof.

A Tinkerbat ran in holding maps and charts. Techno Baron swiped the maps and handed them to Risky "We are coming up on the Kingdom of Pridemoor, Captain."

"Good. When we dock, go to the nearest village and post as many of those wanted posters." Risky Boots ordered.

"Aye aye Captain!" Techno replied in salute with the Tinkerbats.

Not too long later in the village of Pridemoor. Techno Baron and a group of Tinkerbats were pasting the wanted posters in a small village. An anthropomorphic horse dressed as a scholar stopped the Tinkerbat. "Hello there sir, may I have a poster?" Percy asked. The Tinkerbat nodded and handed him the poster. "Wanted? She must be evil to have a wanted poster of her." Percy commented.

Techno Baron chimed in. "She's the worst!"

"Hope you catch her." Percy told the duo.

"Excuse me. What do you have there?" Said a booming voice behind the Baron. Techno Baron froze, turning around to see a man in black armor wielding a black shovel. Next to him was a giant man who resembled a frost giant with a snow shovel strapped to his back.

The Tinkerbat shivered in place and ducked behind Techno.

"Speak you fool!" The frost giant yelled.

"Wanted poster!" Techno spat out, covering his face from the frost giant. The black armored man grabbed a poster.

"Hmmm." The Black Knight contemplated.

"What is it Black Knight?" The frost giant asked.

The Black Knight laughed. "We will take your offer. Tell us, where is this 'Shantae'?" The Black Knight asked. He picked up the Techno by his coat. "Tell us. Now." Black Knight ordered.

"Scuttle Town! She lives in Scuttle Town!" Techno shouted in fear. Black Knight tossed the Techno into a tree. Causing the nearby Tinkerbats to scatter all the posters.

"Come Polar Knight. To your ship. We are taking a little trip to Scuttle Town." Black Knight said, motioning for Polar Knight to follow. Polar Knight nodded and grabbed Techno Baron.

"You're gonna direct us to this Scuttle Town." Polar Knight boomed. Techno quickly nodded.

"This should be easy. If she's anything like the Shovel handed hero, we have nothing to worry about." Black Knight told Polar Knight. Techno coward as he approached an old Viking ship covered in ice. Polar Knight picked up Techno.

"Alright. Start navigating." Polar Knight ordered.

Hey people. It's been a while. This is a reworking and continuation of a story I felt bad for abandoning. I have decided to swap the talking Tinkerbat for Techno Baron. A way to include the bosses of Shantae to interact with the characters from Shovel Knight c:
