Sora, Kairi, Shantae, Pikachu, and Angel have entered Dribble Fountain and they saw Risky Boots above them.
"There you are! Hold it, you rat!" Shantae said.
"Huh?" Risky Boots asked as she saw them again. She gave off an annoyed moan. "It's that silly girl and those little kiddies again."
"You better believe it, Risky," Kairi said.
"We're not gonna let you get away and we're getting the steam engine back," Sora said.
"Pika!" Pikachu said.
"Vee!" Angel said.
"Try if you like, but you'll never keep up with me! Ta-Ta!" Risky Boots said as she took off ahead to a hatch below them.
"Come back here!" Kairi called out.
"Vee!" Angel called out. Risky sealed the way down.
"We can't go after her down there," Sora said.
"Chu," Pikachu agreed.
"We're gonna have to her through that vent," Shantae said.
"You sure that'll do it?" Sora asked.
"Well, it's the only way in," Shantae said.
"She's right. We're gonna have to crawl our way in," Kairi said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"Okay, in we go," Sora said.
"Chu," Pikachu agreed.
With that said, Sora, Kairi, Shantae, Pikachu, and Angel made their way in after Shantae got the vent opened to allow them to enter inside. Once they entered inside, they're greated by a hoard of Heartless.
One of these Heartless are a variant of the Bandits, so they're wearing ocean blue clithing and their scimitars are dark plue. These Heartless shall be known as the Aqua Bandits.
Another is a variant of Fat Bandit, but it wore a yellow vest. But it unleashed lightning attacks instead. This Heartless shall be known as the Thunder Bandit.
"Watch out!" Sora exclaimed.
The Aqua Bandits came swinging at them with their scimitars emitting water as the Thunder Bandits unleashed their electrical attacks. Pikachu lands an Iron Tail on the Aqua Bandits. They fought their way through the Dribble Fountain against the local monsters that came after them. They came across a locked gate.
"Oh, this is great. It doesn't look like we can get through here," Shantae groaned.
"You sure about that, Shantae?" Sora asked.
"Yeah, because it's lock and I don't think your keys can unlock it," Shantae said.
"Don't give up too early," Sora said, summoning his Keyblade.
"I'm telling you, your key can't fit in that hole," Shantae said.
"It's not going in the hole," Sora said, aiming his Keyblade at the keyhole. A beam of light shoots from the Kingdom Key and unlocks the lock.
"Wow! That is awesome! I didn't think that'll work," Shantae said.
"Our Keyblades can work on any lock. We can use them to lock or unlock anything with a lock. But we don't abuse it for that," Kairi said.
"Pika," Pikachu said.
"Vee," Angel said.
"Now the way is unblocked, we can follow wherever Risky is heading," Sora said.
Yeah, let's go," Shantae agreed.
With that said, they go even further inside, taking on the Heartless as they appeared. They found what looks like a Guardian Genie in a cage.
"You! I can sense a strong magic within you. You're a half-genie, aren't you?" The genie asked.
"Yeah, but how did you pick up on that?" Shantae asked.
"I can sense it within you. Have you come to rescue me?" The Guardian Genie asked.
"Not exactly, but we'll get you out of here," Shantae said, whipping the cage.
"Thank you for rescuing me," the Guardian Genie said.
"What are you even doing here?" Sora asked.
"I was once the guardian of this labyrinth, but a terrible creature imprisoned me here," the Guardian Genie said.
But couldn't you use your genie magic to get away?" Kairi asked.
"Sadly, I could not, because the cage is made from magic-proof metal. Because you have released me, I shall grant my fellow genie a reward," the Guardian Genie said.
"A reward for doing a good deed? I wonder what it could be," Shantae said.
"I shall show you a magical dance that you can use to foil evil. Watch," the Guardian Genie demonstrated for Shantae to learn. "Now, you." Shantae does the exact dance and she has transformed into a purple monkey. She looked at herself. "Wow, I turned into a monkey." She changes back. "Thanks."
"Don't thank me yet. You must hurry," the Guardian Genie said.
"She's right. We have a lady pirate to catch," Kairi said.
"Vee," Angel said.
With that said, Sora, Kairi, Shantae, Pikachu, and Angel continued on with their mission to stop Risky Boots. Shantae has put her dance to good use as she changed into her monkey form as Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel rode on Pidgeot to fly up. Sora took out his Pokémon Box and exchanged Nidoking and Nidoqueen for Psyduck and Farfetch'd. They made it to an altar where they found Risky Boots about to nab some kind of stone. It was dripping water.
"There she is!" Sora said,
"Yeah, but look where we are. What is this place?" Shantae asked.
"The legendary Dribble Stone, mine for the taking! Why pour water into that steam engine when this thing will forever?" Risky Boots boasted when her prize is lifted up out of her reach. "What?!" She goes flying across the chamber. "AIE!" The pillar sinks down.
"I have a bad feeling about this," Kairi said. An eye appeared right before them and it turns out to belong to a large jellyfish monster.
"Oh, things just got ugly," Sora said as he and Kairi summoned their Keyblades. Shantae looked at the couple.
"You think?" Shantae asked. They jellyfish angrily attacked the invaders, swinging its tentacles around and spinning around, so they all attacked the jellyfish by hitting it in the eye. Pikachu fired a Thunderbolt as Angel fired Swift. Sora and Kairi struck the tentacles as Shantae finished it off by giving it one more whip, destroying the jellyfish monster. After the jellyfish was defeated, the Dribble Stone floats down and Shantae retrieved it.
"What is that?" Sora asked.
"Beats me. Risky was bent on getting it, so I guess that makes it important," Shantae said. They decided to take the Dribble Stone with them just to keep it out of the lady pirate's hands. When they made it back outside, they found Bolo beaten. "Bolo! Are you alright?!"
"She touched me! I'll never wash this head again," Bolo said.
"He's fine," Sora and Kairi deadpanned.
"Are you for real, Bolo?! She knocked you on your butt, and you care about how she touched you? And since we're here, tell us everything you know about this Dribble Stone!" Shantae demanded.
"Really? You found the Dribble Stone?" Bolo asked.
"Yes, Bolo, we did, so tell us what you know!" Shantae demanded.
"Okay, since you asked. The Dribble Stone is one of four magical stones said to have their own element. The Sizzle stone has power over fire. The twinkle stone has power over ice. The Golem Stone has power over earth, and that Dribble Stone has power over water," Bolo explained.
"Where are the stones located?" Kairi asked.
"Well, the Golem Stone is said to be lost in a desert somewhere near Oasis Town, according to my granny," Bolo said. He flinched when he mentioned her. "Oh! Granny! She has eyes like shining emeralds!"
"Is he going to be okay?" Kairi asked.
"Don't worry. It's actually normal thing with him," Shantae said.
"Somehow, I don't doubt it," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"Anyway, we're gonna have to get to Oasis Town before Risky does," Shantae said.
"I agree. It's a race we can't afford to lose!" Kairi said.
"To get to Oasis Town, we have to be going back to Spider Forest and through Scarecrow Fields. And then, we're gonna make a left turn toward Scuttle Town and right to Naga Desert, and right through Ladies Dersert," Shantae said.
"Anything else we should know about?" Sora asked.
"Yeah. Naga Desert is crawling with Nagas, and they're nothing to sneeze at. The same can be said for Scorp Gals in Ladies Desert," Shantae said.
"I guess some of the boys back home won't say nothing bad about girls when they come to Sequin Land," Kairi said.
"If they did, then they will have to change their opinions on girls," Sora said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"Let's get the show on the road," Sora said.
"Pika!" Pikachu said.
With that said, they started to head for Oasis Town by heading back to Spider Forest and right through Scarecrow Fields.
With that said, they started to head for Oasis Town by heading back to Spider Forest and right through Scarecrow Fields. Along the way, Heartless consisting of Soldiers, Bandits, Fat Bandits, Pirates, and Air Pirates attacked them. Shantae uses her monkey form on the Fat Bandits as Sora slashed them as Kairi deals with the Bandits and the Pirates.
Once the Heartless were dealt with, they made it back to Scuttle Town and right toward a desert. They came across creatures that are lady up top and snake down below. They wore red and silver armor on their bodies and tails with a silver bra, red and silver spiked pauldrons and a segmented red tail piece with spikes at the front. Their armor has matching pink gems on the top and belt. They each a purple and blue striped tail with a green coloured tip like a rattlesnake with a white bottom part.
"A naga!" Shantae said. The naga attacked them, so they managed to dodge her assault when she charged right at them. Sora summoned his Keyblade and he managed to use it against her. The naga is sent flying, so they keep going. They started to make their way through Naga Desert and right to Ladies Desert next. And it was there they came across a creature with a woman's upper body and a scorpion's lower body. She has red skin and carried a scimitar in her hands. These are the Scorp Gals Shantae told the couple about. They managed to get away from her as they ran into more Bandits in the desert. They fought their way through and arrived to Oasis Town.
"Would anyone you know about the Golem Stone?" Kairi asked.
"My best friend Sky should since she lives here in town. I'm sure you'll get along with her," Shantae said. She leads the couple to Oasis Town and came to a building with a golden bird on the roof.
Inside the building is a tan-skinned young woman with blonde hair held back by a blue headwrap, and a purple hood with a purple cape. She wore pink and blue earrings in the shape of eggs, a blue, pink and purple girdle, with the breast covering having the same design as her earrings, white khaki pants, pair of brown boots. She noticed Shantae and the couple.
"Shantae, it's been a while. And who are the kids?" The young woman asked.
"This is Sora, along with Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel. Guys, meet Sky," Shantae introduced.
"Hey," Sora greeted.
"Hi," Kairi greeted.
"Vee," Angel said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"So how's the Genie business? Are you still playing watchdog for that dinky fishing hole?" Sky asked. Shantae got peeved by that comment.
"Scuttle Town's no hole! Besides, right now it's turning up more action than anyplace! Which reminds me. I'm searching for something called the Golem Stone. Ever hear of it?" Shantae asked.
"Nope,' Sky said. Sora, Kairi, and Shantae hung their heads down.
"So much for that idea," Kairi said.
"But there's a place called the Golem Mine a few miles into the desert. Could be some connection. I'd show you where exactly but I need to tend these eggs. Would you like me to send Wrench to scout for you?" Sky offered. Shantae liked the idea.
"Would you? That'd be perfect!" Shantae said.
"Who's Wrench?" Sora asked.
"My pet bird," Sky said. She whistled, so a purple and blue bird came flying in. Sky held out her arm and the bird perched on her arm. "Find the mine Wrench! Go!" Wrench understood and flew off. "Just head for the desert and keep your eyes open for Wrench. In the meantime I'll ask around with my messenger birds. Deal?"
"It's a deal, Sky. And thanks," Shantae said.
"You've been a big help," Kairi said.
"Anytime," Sky said.
With that said, Sora, Kairi, Shantae, Pikachu, and Angel followed Wrench out of Sky's hatchery and right back to the desert. They followed the bird as he flew over Ladies Desert and Naga Desert. They followed him right over Men Desert, where they came across Scorp Gal's male counterpart. He has a goatee and a turban on his head. These creatures are known as Scorp Men. They fought their way through the Scorp Men along with some Bandits that came and attacked them a moment later. They managed to fight their way through Men Desert until they saw Wrench over some ruins.
"There it is! This has to be the Golem Mines entrance. It was a good thing Sky trained him when he first hatched," Shantae said.
"That's great, but we have to get inside," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu agreed.
"Caw! Caw!" Wrench cried.
"Wrench seems to have an idea," Kairi said. Wrench flew to what look like a couple of jewels embetted in the old stone building. "You think those jewels might have something to do with it?" Wrench then put his beak on one of the jewels and rotated his whole body like a wrench. He then made work on the other one, doing the same thing. The door then opened.
"Well, at least Sky didn't call him that just for laughs," Sora said.
"Pika, Pika," Pikachu said.
"Eevee, vee," Angel said.
"We shouldn't celebrate too soon, because Risky Boots and the Heartless could be inside," Kairi said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"You're right, Kairi. We gotta be ready for anything the she-pirate throws at us," Sora said.
"Chu," Pikachu said.
They started to make their way through the labyrinth where they came across some stone creatures inside the temple, along with some stone-like Heartless. They have rocky bodies with the Heartless eyes in the hollow hole and the Heartless emblem in the center. This Heartless shall be known as the Stone Golem. The Stone Golems started to roll right at them as Sora has let out his Golem to assist.
"Okay, Golem! Use your Rollout!" Sora ordered. Golem rolled into a ball and plowed into them. "Okay, use Fire Punch!" Golem lands a Fire Punch onto a Stone Golem as Sora slashed through another one. As they fought their way through the labyrinth, they came across some locked gates, but their Keyblades came in handy for Shantae as they use them to unlock the locks and fought their way through and came across another imprisoned genie. Shantae gets her out of her prison.
"Thank you for freeing me from my prison. I was the guardian of the Golem Labyrinth until some foul creature imprisoned me," the genie said.
"Anytime," Shantae said with a smile.
"To reward you for your kindness, I will teach you a new dance to perform," the genie said, demonstrating the dance to Shantae. "Now, you try it." Shantae tries out the dance and she changes into an elephant.
"Hey, it worked!" Sora said.
"This form can come in handy," Shantae said. She trumpets as she charges through the stone pillars and plows the Heartless that were unfortunate enough to be in her path. She reverts back to her real form. "And who says elephants works for peanuts?"
"I'm not saying it," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"Now, let's keep going. We have a stone to find," Shantae said.
"Right," Sora and Kairi said.
With that said, Sora, Kairi, Shantae, Pikachu, and Angel continued to venture through the Golem Labyrinth. They kept going until they found Risky Boots coming close to claim the Golem Stone.
"Risky Boots! I knew we'd see you here!" Kairi hissed.
"Oh, it's you again," Risky Boots deadpanned, annoyed.
"Oh, 'it's just us', isn't it? Well, you better get used to it, Risky. We're not going to let you take the Golem Stone!" Sora said.
"Yeah, we're on to you, Risky Boots! You're trying to re-build the Steam Engine using all four magical Relics!" Shantae said.
"Well well! You're a smart little tag-along trio! This single piece of the Golem Stone is the only metal strong enough to hold the other stones' power! Once I have all four stones in my possession, I'll create the most powerful weapon this world has ever seen!" Risky Boots said, doing her signature laugh. Just when she's about to take the Golem Stone, she is flung to the side. "What? AIEEEEEEEE!" Just then, a stone face and hands appeared. And there is a light blue jewel on top of its head.
"It looks like we're gonna have to earn that stone the hard way!" Sora said.
"You're right, Sora. Let's bring it down and get the stone," Shantae said, doing her dance and changed into her elephant form. Sora and Kairi got on Shantae's back as Pikachu and Angel got on their partner's shoulders. "Here goes!" Shantae let's out another trumpet and charges right at the top of the head as Shantae plowed into it as Sora and Kairi smacked it with their Keyblades until it was destroyed. Once it was over and done with, Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel got off her back as Shantae changed back and the Golem Stone floats down and Shantae retrieves it. "Yes! We got the Golem Stone!"
"That means we're halfway done," Sora said.
"Let's head back out," Shantae said.
They got back out of the Golem Labyrinth and they find Wrench flying around with a note in his beak.
"Hey, it's Wrench," Sora said.
"And he's carrying something in his beak," Kairi added.
"It's gotta be from Sky," Shantae said, taking the note and reads it.
Dear Shantae.
Someone named Rottytops replied to my message. She says she knows the whereabouts of the next magical stone! She travels with the Zombie Caravan, which is camped East of Water Town. Hope this helps.
Friends always,
Sky.
"What did Sky have to say, Shantae?" Kairi asked.
"Vee?" Angel asked.
"Sky said someone named Rottytops might have a clue on where the next magical stone can be found. And she's traveling with the Zombie Caravan. We're gonna have to go east of Water Town," Shantae said.
"Well, if her intel is good as Sky guesses, then we gotta look into it," Sora said.
"Well, let's go," Shantae said.
With that said, Sora, Kairi, Shantae, Pikachu, and Angel took their leave of the Golem Labyrinth and started to make their way toward the Zombie Caravan. Half of the magical stones have been collected, but can they prevent the next two stones from ending up in Risky Boots's hands and keep her powering up her steam engine? Find out as we continue on with the adventure.
