Bo-bobo's Epic RPG Adventure!
The story so far…
Sir Bo-bobo took a near-fatal blow from the dark wizard Softon, which was falling all the way from space from Princess Patches' usurped castle, but he thankfully survived! Sir Bo-bobo wound up in Emerald Village, a tiny village that was established in the forested Emerald Region, one of the five largest regions of the Don Kingdom. After a milestone recovery, he met the citizens of the village, among them a friendly mage-in-training named Beauty and his own older brother, Magus Be-bebe. This happiness does not last long, however, for Sofon's witch assistant, Yuko, sends Bo-bobo a horrid message and blocks the village exit, preventing Bo-bobo from leaving Emerald Village! Bo-bobo, with the villagers' help, goes into a forest clearing with Beauty and they decide to use Beauty's magical hammer to destroy the block that was blocking the exit. Just when he and Beauty are about to return after finding the hammer, Sir Bo-bobo runs into his longtime rival, Captain Battleship!
And now I am pleased to bring you, part 2 of the prologue.

Prologue
A Plea from the Spirits
(Part 2)
The battle stage was set, as Sir Bo-bobo and Captain Battleship began to square off. Beauty stood right behind Bo-bobo, a determined look on her face.
"Okay! It's Battle time, Sir Bo-bobo! Your opponent is Captain Battleship. As tough as he looks, he's not that much a formidable foe. You can take him easily."
"I kicked your ass once, and I'll do it again, you twit!" the captain yelled from the other side of the battle field.
"Whatever. As you can see, Sir Bo-bobo, this is the Battle Screen, and the square-shaped thing on top of the screen is your current status. The menu to your left is the Action Menu, and you can perform actions or check your status here. According to your status, you're a Level 1 Swordsman with 20 HP, 10 FP, 3 SP, and no experience points. You currently have three pieces of equipment: a longsword, my magic hammer, and you are wearing bronze armor. You have no regular skills, one special skill, and one unique skill, which is your "Hanage Shinken," or "Fist of the Nose Hair." You have a defense of 0, you have no items in your arsenal, and your current strategies include doing nothing and running away. However, because this is a required battle, you cannot run away from this fight!" Beauty finally finished explaining, but suddenly realized that-
"WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST SAY!?"
"So…am I really that weak!?" Bo-bobo whined.
No, that's just what your status says. But in an RPG, you're an absolute newbie.
"Shut up, narrator! I'm too depressed, AND I have a battle to fight! Bring it on, ducktail-butt!" Bo-bobo shouted to Battleship.
"Ducktail-butt???" Beauty said in disbelief.
Battleship began to cry hysterically. "How dare you call me my childhood insult name! You're going down, Bo-bobo! Here goes!"
Battleship began to charge at Bo-bobo, shouting, "Super Fist of the Nose Hair! Nose Hair Revolution!!!"
Two long spirals of the pompadour-man's nose hair struck Bo-bobo head on, causing him to fall to the ground in minor pain.
"Hah hah! I may not be a natural born citizen of the Diamond Kingdom of Hair like you, but my self-taught Fist of the Nose Hair is much stronger than yours!" Battleship began to laugh, but as he was, Bo-bobo gave him a deep, bloody gash with his sword! Battleship himself fell down, clutching his arm as the blood ran through his shirt.
"Wah! And I just bought this shirt! How dare you!" Battleship drew his blade and began an all-out swordfight with his rival. The clash went on for several minutes, until Bo-bobo was able to stab Battleship's torso slightly. Battleship jumped back.
"Grrr…I'm just getting warmed up!"
Battleship then emitted a purple-colored aura, and his blade began to glow. "It's time I used a special skill of mine! Here we go!"
Battleship leapt high into the air and yelled, "Special Secret of the Pompadour Blade: Hama-Ryu-O-Jin!!!"
A long wave of water and light emerged from the captain's blade. It sliced down several trees and it further injured both Bo-bobo and Beauty, who was cringing at her ankle again.
"What the devil was that!?" Bo-bobo yelled.
"A special power of mine. It's a powerful attack that benefits a knight like me. Sure, it may not be as powerful as a unique skill, but it's damn strong, all right! And now I can finish you off with it!"
"I don't think so," Bo-bobo said with arousing cheer. And the cheer continued as he actually dressed like a cheerleader and began to cheer,
"2-4-6-8, who do we appreciate!?
Sir Bo-bobo! Sir Bo-bobo!
3-5-7-9, who's so suave and so fine!?
Sir Bo-bobo! Sir Bo-bobo!
1-17-46-173 3/4! Captain Battleship, go screw yourself with a rusty hammer!!!"
Sir Bo-bobo ended his cheer with an aching split that caused him to sprain several muscles, with an enraged Battleship freaking out.
"What kind of cheer was that!?" Beauty screamed.
"Okay, that's it you clod! You're gonna die right here!" Battleship charged in again, this time opening the front of his ducktail, and launched a cannon at Bo-bobo and Beauty! When the smoke cleared, both of them were covered in dirt, and blood oozed from Bo-bobo's forehead. He slumped to the ground, where he began to pant from tiredness.
"Oh, no! Bo-bobo's in the danger zone! He only has 5 HP left!" Beauty shouted in fear. "Wait a minute…what the hell!?"
"Rrgh…I'm not finished yet…I still have…one more attack…" Bo-bobo panted.
"Hah! You're almost finished! What more can you possibly do!?" Battleship taunted.
Bo-bobo said nothing as he formed his signature attack pose, and began to glow his yellow aura. "Are you ready!? Okay! Super Fist of the Nose Hair!"
Bo-bobo began to run towards the captain, who was still laughing in defiance. Unfortunately for him, he began to hurt as Bo-bobo attacked him!
"Super Fist of the Nose Hair: East Side Story!!!"
Bo-bobo's nose hairs formed a complex web that ripped the captain to shreds, where music from the hit play itself played horribly out of tune in the background.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST KILLED A GREAT PLAY----------!!!" Battleship yelled, also thinking, "He didn't even get the name right!"
Battleship landed on the ground with a loud thud. When he fell, a bunch of sparkling stars emerged from him, all going toward Bo-bobo's body. He looked at the magical stars in awe.
"Beauty, what are these?" he asked.
"Well, Sir Bo-bobo, those are star points. You get these when you defeat an enemy or boss. When you get a hundred of them, you go up a level. Fight many enemies and become stronger by leveling up, Sir Bo-bobo! That's how you get stronger!" Beauty paused again and pondered at what she said. She decided to drop it this time.
Battleship staggered up from the ground, panting. "I…I just…I just cannot believe this…how could you of all people have beaten me like that!? Well, don't think this is over, Sir Bo-bobo! I will come back for you, and I will get even!!" Battleship ran off out of the clearing. He then came back immediately and said, "I WILL return! I mean it!" He left again, but returned a third time, saying, "I REALLY REALLY-"
"Aw, get out of here you meathead!!" Bo-bobo kicked him away from the clearing, leaving Beauty flabbergasted. After the moment settled down, Bo-bobo picked Beauty up again.
"Hey, thanks for everything," said Bo-bobo.
"Why? I didn't do anything." Beauty raised an eyebrow.
"You supported me. How can I not thank you for that?"
Beauty smiled and giggled. "Well, I suppose that I thank you too, Sir Bo-bobo, for helping me with my injured ankle. And you also found my magical hammer too."
"Don't mention it."
"Well, we can finally get rid of the block that's blocking the road, and head back to the village! Everyone must be worried about us…"
"Don't worry, Beauty. Oh, and by the way, you can call me Bo-bobo. No need to be so formal."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course."
Beauty smiled again as the two made it to the outer area of the clearing, where the poop-shaped block and the remains of the veranda were. Bo-bobo gently set Beauty down again, and he pulled out the hammer he had gotten. Raising the hammer and exhaling a large amount of breath, he smashed the block into pieces effortlessly!
"Yeah! Now we can head back to Emerald Village!" Beauty shouted. The two of them walked out into a new area, where they saw a tiny group of men in uniform scouting the area.
"Watch out, Bo-bobo! They're soldiers that are loyal to the evil wizard Softon. They don't look so tough, but I think that we should-WAAAH!!!"
Beauty spun around and saw all of the soldiers dead on the ground, covered with tire marks. Bo-bobo backed up to her in a giant bulldozer, holding two things in his hand.
"You don't have to worry about the soldiers, Beauty! I took care of them! But what are these things? I found them on that small cliff up there," the warrior said, pointing to a small plateau that was barely a ways off. Beauty took both items in hand, one being what looked like a spiked cherry, the other a glittering piece of crystal emerald.
"Oh! Bo-bobo, it seems that you've found two items! The cherry thing here is called an afro-cherry, and it can heal your wounds. And this glittering emerald is called an Orbis Piece! They can be used for almost anything."
"Huh? Wow, that's cool. I think I'll save this afro-cherry for later."
"Why not use it now?"
"Because we're back home, Beauty."
The two of them saw the stump of the nursing house that was in the village. Everyone was waiting for them, as they approached the locked gate. "Oh, is that thing locked? Let me get it for you," Beauty said as she opened the gate. Be-bebe, Hydrate, Remus, and the other mages ran over to them with relief.
"Sir Bo-bobo-sama! Beauty-chan! We were so worried about you! Thank God you're okay!" Lambda yelled in relief. He began to hug Beauty tightly, only to have her shake him off.
"That was quite a scare you gave us, brother. We thought for a moment that you might've died," Be-bebe said.
"Oh, oniichan, you're such a joker!" Bo-bobo patted Be-bebe on the back, apparently too hard, for one slap forced his older brother to the ground into a pile of dung. The others began laughing, Beauty freaking out.
"Well, all that aside, I think that I have a helpful reward for all your troubles. Wait here." Be-bebe went inside the house to fetch something. He came back out seconds later with a box and a pair of golden boots with metallic wings on their sides.
"Bo-bobo, I've got some things for you," said Be-bebe, as he handed the boots to Bo-bobo. The narrator's voice then chimed,
You got the Golden Boots!
"Uhh…oniichan, could you tell me what these are before the narrator wakes up with several needles in his arms please?" Bo-bobo said with an edge of threat, making the narrator retreat.
"Those are two new equipment items you can apply to yourself with. These boots here allow you to run a bit faster and can leave quite the mark if you stomped on someone with them. But that's not all I have." Be-bebe then gave his little brother the box. Bo-bobo opened it, and saw, low to behold, white poofy clothes and a set of golden armor inside.
"Why…oniichan…"
"What!? But it's way too early for him to be wearing golden armor! He's still only at Level 1!" Hiragi shouted, pondering at that statement.
Be-bebe chuckled. "No, no, this is a family treasure. It was once used by our mother, but when she passed on, I remodeled it into armor that would fit a man's body. It's yours now, Bo-bobo. Use it well…and go save Her Highness."
"Oniichan…everyone…thank you so much!" Bo-bobo said in happiness as he immediately stripped himself nude to put on the armor! Everyone shielded their eyes in fear.
"For the love of God Bo-bobo, not out in the open, please!" Hydrate shouted as a green KoPatch that passed by exploded at the sight of Bo-bobo dressing. When Bo-bobo was finished, he walked over to the poop-shaped block that destroyed the gate, drew Beauty's hammer, and smashed the thing to bits. Little pieces of ice cream-shaped faux feces flew everywhere, grossing everyone out.
"There! Problem solved. I'll get started fixing the gate again right away. But for now, Sir Bo-bobo, good luck on your journey!" Hiragi said as he got out a toolbox.
"Best of luck, Sir Bo-bobo. The Don Kingdom is counting on you," Remus coughed as she spoke.
"Wow, Bo-bobo. So now you're beginning your quest to save the princess…I wish I could go too…I mean you're so cool! I want to be strong too…I hate living an ordinary, boring life. That's why I'm training to become the greatest Magi in the world." Beauty said.
"Magi?"
"That's what fully-trained mages are referred as. They are the strongest in the world, the best, and the most legendary and revered mages. I want to become a Magi, just like my mother was, before she passed on…" Beauty looked down to the ground. Bo-bobo patted her head in sympathy. Beauty looked up and smiled. Be-bebe stepped forth, looking at the two of them.
"Beauty…I have something to tell you."
"What is it, Master?"
"Well…I've been thinking about it for a long time, and…well, I think that it seems all for the best if you travel with Sir Bo-bobo on his journey with him."
"What!?"
"That's right, Beauty. You still have a long way to go, but you are the greatest pupil I've ever had, and you make a promising mage…heck, I think that you'll become a great Magi, just like your mother." Beauty beamed back at him. "And what's more, I think that you are no longer a child, and evil times are among us. I think that you will make a great asset for my younger brother." He put his hand on her head. "I've been rough on you, only because I care about you so much. Beauty, I want you to grow strong."
"Y…you mean it!?" Beauty shouted with small tears of happiness in her eyes.
"I mean it."
"Ahhh! Thank you so much, Master! I promise that I won't let you down!" Beauty then turned to Bo-bobo. "Ah…that is if you agree to have me come with you, Bo-bobo…"
Bo-bobo had his back turned in silence for a moment, and then said,
"Of course you can come along."
"Really!? Thank you so much, Bo-bobo! Everyone, I won't let any of you down!"

"SHUT THE HELL UP, NARRATOR!!!" Bo-bobo screamed. He grabbed a giant rocket launcher and launched it to the sky, where the narrator was hiding. After that ordeal, Bo-bobo and Beauty gathered supplies for the road, including some of the nuts and fruits from the giant tree next to the house, and Remus used some healing magic to fix Beauty's ankle. After that, the two of them walked over the broken pieces of the gate, waved goodbye to the villagers, and walked off into the Emerald Road.
As everyone was waving goodbye, however, Hiragi and Hydrate snuck away from the group with evil smirks on their faces. Hiragi pulled out an odd-shaped walkie-talkie and said into it, "The Nose-Hair idiot is on his way now, majesty. He has a little companion up for the picking, too."
"Very well. Thank you, Hiragi-kun. I will dispose of them at once, and when I do so, Lord Softon will be very pleased." A dark voice spoke through the device.
"I'm sure he will be. Over and out." Hiragi put the device away, and began to laugh quietly and evilly with Hydrate…
With Beauty and Sir Bo-bobo…
Bo-bobo and Beauty began to walk along the Emerald Road, which was covered in golden earth, surrounded by many fruitful trees, and had many blossoms emerging from the earth. The road was clear of enemies for the first twenty minutes of the trip. The two of them then came across several encounters, and defeated them with ease, combining Bo-bobo's swordplay and nose hairs, and Beauty's magical powers. The two of them stopped in front of a small cliff that needed to be climbed on in order to proceed.
"Well, I think that we can rest here, Bo-bobo. The Crystal Region is only a short walk away. We just have to get across a bridge to get there." Beauty sat down and ate an emerald nut from the village tree.
"That's good to know…everyone in Crystal Town must be worried about me…" Bo-bobo sighed as he ate a giant hunk of poison ivy, much to Beauty's dismay.
After several minutes, Bo-bobo got up again. "I think we can head out now, huh?" He was about to scale the cliff, when Beauty shouted "Wait!"
"What's wrong, Beauty?"
"Ummm…I know this is embarrassing, but…I…I really need to use the bathroom…"
"Huh? Is that all? Well, okay, but be quick." Bo-bobo said. Beauty thanked him and rushed into a small forested area that was thick with bushes.
Beauty had been gone for over ten minutes, and Bo-bobo was beginning to get impatient and worried. "What's taking her so long? Hmm….must be a stomachache…or maybe it's that time of the month…"
"KYAAAH!"
Bo-bobo heard a scream come from where Beauty was! "Oh no! Beauty! Beauty, are you okay!? Listen, you can get that stuff out, just-" Bo-bobo was cut off mid-sentence, when he saw a pair of brothers in their early twenties, with Beauty as their hostage!
(Note: Both brothers are portrayed by the Nagoya Brothers, a pair of Shinsetsu characters. See footnotes below for more info.)
"Hah! Well, if it isn't the great and famous Sir Bo-bobo. Just because you're famous doesn't mean you're going to get past this point, Mr. Big Shot." The elder of the two brothers, who wore a skintight black collard shirt under a purple tunic spat.
"That's right! We have your little friend here, and if you even try to get past us, she's history!" the younger of the two brothers, who wore a brown collard shirt under a green tunic, said. He held a long blade with a fish-shaped hilt to the now gagged Beauty's throat. She began to muffle cries for help.
"Beauty!" Bo-bobo shouted.
"Don't waste your pity on her! Just worry that you're gonna have no one to pay for your funeral when we kill you!" The older brother shouted as he and his sibling jumped toward Bo-bobo, leaving Beauty gagged and tied to a tree.
"Let's take him down, Sakae-kun!"
"Oh yes, my brother Kakuozan-oniichan!"
The two brothers charged at Bo-bobo, drawing blades (with fish-shaped hilts), and charging them with magic.
"You stand no chance against the power of the "Fist of Sachihoko," and the power of the forest spirits! Prepare to face our wrath!" the two brothers said in unison, charging their power, being followed by two giant golden fishes and fairies! Bo-bobo just stood there with a poker face, drew his blade, and swiped it in one direction, taking down the brothers with ease!
"W…wh-what…?" Sakae stuttered.
"How…how did he-!?" Kakuozan sputtered.
The two brothers fell to the ground, bloodied, bruised, and…covered with lipstick…
"You stupid hicks! How dare you betray me for another woman!?" a cheerleader-clad Bo-bobo screamed while smacking the brothers to death with a purse. Beauty began to scream after freeing herself from the ropes. The brothers slowly got up, shuddering in pain, with line tears coming from their now chibi crybaby-like eyes.
"WAAAAAH!!! You'll pay for this!!" They screamed in unison before jumping on the plateau and running away. Beauty stared at the duo in disbelief for a moment.
"Uh…what just happened?" she asked.
"I defeated a pair of hormonally-prone brothers, apparently…" Bo-bobo said flatly.
"Those weren't just any brothers, Bo-bobo! They were the Fairie Brothers, the two servants that serve the Fairie King! I should've known that money-grubbing, manipulative jackass would find cronies sooner or later…" Beauty spoke, looking down.
"Who's the Fairie King?" asked Bo-bobo.
"He's a nasty tyrant who steals passer-byers' profits! The entire Emerald Region was jeopardized because of his dirty work! If it wasn't for us, the place would've been urbanized and killed off! Now no one comes to the Emerald Region anymore…and what's more, he put your brother's magic shop out of business!" Beauty shouted. But when she spun around, Bo-bobo was gone! "Hey! Wait for me, Bo-bobo!" Beauty shouted while following him.
But unknown to them both, in the shadows nearby, someone was watching them…
Beauty and Bo-bobo continued down the Emerald Road, where they noticed that the sky was a bit darker than normal, even though it was still the middle of the afternoon. "Uh, Bo-bobo? The sky's darkened…doesn't this seem…odd?" Beauty said. She looked up at him, and saw him with a dumb look on his face, drooling! "Bo-bobo!" Beauty tapped his back, but he then fell down, like a cardboard cutout! "Kyaaah! Bo-bobo, where-WAAAH!" Beauty face faulted when she saw Bo-bobo setting fire a bunch of photos of his brother!
"Huh? Did you say something?"
"Never mind…"
Meanwhile, the Fairie Brothers ran like crybabies toward a small, tall, gray fortress tower, located near the end of the Emerald Road, where the sky was darker than night. The boys both slammed on the door, wailing.
"King Fairie! Help us, please!!" the elder brother wailed.
"Sir Bo-bobo beat us up!!" the younger brother cried.
The brown copper doors creaked open, letting the two brothers in.
Beauty and Bo-bobo walked in front of the steel fortress, looking at it with awe. "Bo-bobo…I believe that there was a bridge that lead to the Crystal Region, but it looks like it disappeared! Where could it be?" Beauty looked out to the twenty-foot wide drop that was just behind the fortress. Bo-bobo was about to say something, but was interrupted by a loud thumping noise. The two stood in silence as the thumps thudded harder and harder, until at last, a man wearing an extremely large amount of black, bejeweled armor rose from the top of the fortress' base, along with the two Fairie Brothers.
(Note: This man in armor is portrayed by Halekulani)
"So, Sir Bo-bobo, I hear that you're trashing around all the people you see so that you can save Princess Patches, eh? Well, your path stops here, when you meet the power of my riches and magic of me, the Fairie King! King of the Fairies, Prince of the Riches, Duke of the Ducats, that's me! The Fairie King!" The king let out an evil laugh, the wind blowing through his green hair, his golden crown shining.
"Take a good look at him, Sir Bo-bobo-boob! Aren't ya scared!?" Kakuozan shouted from above.
"Yeah, you must be wetting your pants in fear from our master now!" Sakae chimed in.
"What the hell are they talking about?" Bo-bobo said blankly.
"Ah…Bo-bobo…gee, the Fairie King sure looks…strong…well, I suppose that's true, but we can't back down!" Beauty readied her garnet staff, and Bo-bobo assumed his fighting stance, as the Fairie King and the Fairie Brothers jumped down and attacked!
"Get him, King Fairie!" Sakae shouted.
"We got your back!" Kakuozan yelled.
"Leave him to me!" the king commanded. He drew his golden staff, adorned with a giant emerald orb on the top.
"Bo-bobo, I think that we can take out the Fairie Brothers first…they still look pooped from when you dealt with them." Beauty suggested, preparing an incantation.
"Don't worry about them, Beauty." Bo-bobo said, giving the thumbs up to her. A question mark rose over Beauty's head. Bo-bobo explained his reasoning when he drew Beauty's hammer and whacked the stump of a giant tree that held rock-hard emeralds! The emeralds fell like hailstones, immediately crushing the brothers like grapes. The two fell to the ground with oversized bumps on their heads and swirls in their eyes.
"Ugh! Useless idiots!" The Fairie King then chanted,
"Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire Gold! Kronon Para Irusan Bunoe Petras!"
From the king's staff emerged a long swirl of gems and cash, transforming everything into stone! Beauty jumped in front, chanting,
"Blow, gust of wind! Flet, une vente! Flans saltatio pulverea!"
A large blast of light blue-colored wind immediately blasted away the spell cast by the king. The king grunted, setting loose a long stream of paper money, which the duo easily avoided.
"Beauty! This man's tougher than I thought! Who is he!?" Bo-bobo shouted.
"Well…" Beauty began to home in on him. The surrounding area froze, as she began to explain. "That's the Fairie King. He's an awful tyrant who works for the evil wizard Softon. His main desire is to use his riches to urbanize the Emerald Region. Max HP is 20, Attack Power is 2, and Defense is 0. He's a mage who uses petrifaction magic. He can also manipulate his wealthy riches, such as gems or money. He doesn't seem so tough, but we should be careful anyway. Maybe hitting him over the head with those emerald gems in that tree could help…" Beauty finished speaking at last, once again in disbelief of what she said.
"Well, I guess I know what I gotta do! After all, a baby's gotta do what a baby's gotta do!" Bo-bobo cheered, now clad in a giant diaper.
"A BABY!!?" Beauty shouted.
"Hold on to your diapies babies, we're goin' in!!!" Bo-bobo shouted as he dumped a huge pile of dirty diapers on the Fairie King!
"That's just gross!" Beauty screamed.
"Okay Fairie King, you've tormented this region long enough! It's time you went home for good!" Bo-bobo shouted, letting loose a long stream of emeralds from the emerald tree on the Fairie King's head. The king fell down, sputtering "money, money, money…someone give me my money…"
"Beauty! Finish him off!" Bo-bobo commanded. Beauty nodded her head and began to chant.
"Aurum, Argentums, et Prisma, jaculetur!
To shumbolion, diakonoto moi hei krystaline bashiela.
Evigenato taionion, elebos haionie krystale versais zoice ton ison
Tanaton hos, ataskia kozmike katazrofe!!!"
Beauty turned around, as a giant area of pinkish colored ice formed around the king and his fortress, and said, "Fall to pieces!"
In a flash, the ice shattered, leaving the king near death, and the area a wasteland, not to mention now freezing cold. The sudden shock of the spell's power caused Beauty to collapse into unconsciousness.
"Beauty!" Bo-bobo shouted, catching her. She opened her eyes weakly, and said, "Magic…I used my magic…my own special power…how…?"
"It was your desire to protect this place. It was the power of your heart that brought your power out like that." Bo-bobo gently touched her face. Beauty gave out one last weak smile before passing out. Bo-bobo gently laid her by a tree, and watched as the Fairie Brothers bought their king into the fortress. As damaged as he was, he could still talk, only barely. Bo-bobo went to the door and put his ear to it to hear what they were saying.
"So Sakae-kun…The king coughed weakly. W-wh-where d-did you put that s-sw-sw-switch th…that…l-lead t-t-t-to…the Crystal…Region…?" Bo-bobo could hear the boys putting their king up onto a bed.
"Don't worry your majesty! I put the switch in the bushes where Bo-bobo and that girl can never find it!" Sakae said proudly. However, his older brother and the king stared at him with shadows on their faces.
"YOU HID THE SWITCH OUTSIDE!?!?! DON'T YOU KNOW THAT HE CAN FIND IT YOU IDIOT!?" The king shouted before coughing up some blood.
"Seriously, little brother…you really messed up this time…" Kakuozan said with glumness.
"Wait…your majesty, maybe we can fake them out…y'know, make them believe that the switch to the bridge would kill them or something…" the younger brother suggested.
"T…t-t-that's a g-g-g…good idea…" the king coughed again.
"Gee, that girl really did a lot of damage to his highness…I don't think I've seen anyone with that much power…" Sakae said.
"Only those who are worthy to rule this kingdom are said to have such power…" Kakuozan responded. "But hey, she's just a country bum. All we got is lousy Princess Patches. Hell, maybe when Lord Softon takes over, this place'll actually get better!" The two of them began to laugh as the Fairie King struggled to get back on top of the fortress.
Bo-bobo, having overheard the conversation, searched through the bushes and found a large blue switch that said "press me!" in Japanese hiragana on it. He absentmindedly stepped on it when the Fairie King came back up.
"Uhh…hey there, Sir Bo-bobo! That was a good fight you gave me there! Well…I have something to tell you. The Fairie King spoke as if he were well again. You see…there just so happens to be a big blue switch somewhere out here…it's a bad switch that'll do bad things! So whatever you do, don't push it!"
"Uhhh…you mean this thing?" Bo-bobo asked dumbly, pointing at the pressed switch.
"Y…YOU MEAN YOU ALREADY PUSHED IT!?"
The earth began to rumble, and the Fairie King's fortress began to fall apart.
"OH, CRAP-----!!!"
As the quake hit, the tower part of the fortress began to shatter and form a bridge that fit over the twenty foot gap. The rest of the fortress stayed intact. Unfortunately, the two Fairie Brothers were sprung into the sky, never to be seen again. The Fairie King was left speechless.
"Oh, and Fairie King? Bo-bobo said with sarcastic sweetness. SURRENDER ALL YOUR CASH TO ME, LOSER!!! SUPER FIST OF THE NOSE HAIR: SONATA OF BRIBERY IN D FLAT!!!" Bo-bobo's nostril hair blew away the Fairie King into the sky along with his henchmen. Everything became calm again, as Bo-bobo picked up his young friend and walked across the bridge into the Crystal Region.
From behind the tree was that same shadowy figure again.
The sky cleared away, as Bo-bobo entered the Crystal Region. The scent of clean city air filled the area, as the grassy plains began to vanish, being replaced with stone pillars. Bo-bobo began to trot across the area when he spotted the gates on the outskirts of Crystal Town.
And when Bo-bobo entered the town, Yuko watched him from the darker part of the sky. She looked down on him and Beauty in silence, then flew away back to her boss' castle in the sky.
End of Part 2
-Ah, sorry that took so long, but the status thing was a pain in the ass to make. If you see the system fluctuate, I hope you understand…I think you can expect most updates to come on the weekends or something…
Anyhoo, Yuko the witch is now reporting to the evil wizard. What will she say to him? And who's the shadow that's stalking Bo-bobo and Beauty? 'Till next time…
FOOTNOTES
-The "battle system," so to speak, is a mix of the Paper Mario and Final Fantasy games, with a mix of Skies of Arcadia thrown in. SP stands for "Spirit Points," and because there is "equipment," they replace "Badge Points." They are used for the "Special" and "Unique" attacks.
-Hama-ryu-o-jin means "Magic Wave: Dragon King Sword" in Japanese.
-"East Side Story" is a spoof homage of "West Side Story," a famous musical play/movie. And yes, Bo-bobo got the name wrong.
-"Afro-cherries," as you guessed, are like Mushrooms, and "Orbis Pieces" are Star Pieces.
-Kakuozan and Sakae Nagoya, who play the Fairie King's henchmen in this tale, are two enemies from Shinsetsu Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. They originally pose as Pokomi's captors at Neo F-Block, with Kakuozan, the older brother, posing as leader, and Sakae, the younger brother, posing as the vice leader. After Bo-bobo and co. defeat them, along with a newly rejoined Tokoro Tennosuke, Pokomi reveals herself as the true Neo F-Block commander, with the two brothers simply her henchmen.
-The Fairie King (Halekulani)'s petrifaction spell was in ancient Greek. It translates to "Little King, Eight-legged Lizard, Master of the Evil Eye. Gives the poison-breath that steals time. 'Breath of Stone.'"
-Beauty's ice spell was also ancient Greek. It means, "Upon our pact, do my bidding, O Queen of Ice. Come forth from the never-ending darkness, the eternal glacier, bring death to all that hast life. You are the place of eternal rest. 'The End of the World.'"
-You all probably know about what Bo-bobo parodied during the battle against the king…
