==b0606000== {{spoiler|start}} (*): You there! Have you heard? (*): Ha! That's just what I thought you'd say. Anyway... (*): I heard somewhere that the moon only exists when you're looking at it. (*): But I think that kind of thing is just people getting their minds in a muddle. Anyway... Prelvis Esley: This here's the finest little boom town in all the world. Viva Las (Pioneer Town)! Prelvis Esley: She's gone from a couple o' shacks to a serious settlement in no time flat. Ain't nobody livin' in the ghetto in this city o' dreams! Prelvis Esley: By the way, I ain't seen hide nor hair o' that little hound frog used to hang out by the pond there for a while now. I wonder where's he's got to... (*): Arrr. This 'ere be the Pioneeratorium. 'Twas built to welcome weary pioneers like a port at the end of a long and perilous voyage. (*): Sail on in an' have yourself a look, me hearty! (*): (whine) Arf! (*): Ruff! Streo Louse: Howdy, I'm Streo Louse. I been sittin' here havin' me a good ol' think about this crazy, mixed-up world we're livin' in. Streo Louse: What if you an' the varmint next to you seemed like you was livin' in the same world, but in fact, it weren't the same place at all? Streo Louse: Or what if the world as you see it turned out to be entirely different to how others see it? Streo Louse: Sheesh! Once I start thinkin' like that, the more I ponder it, the less I seem to understand... Mr. Ned: Why howdy there, I'm Mr. Ned, the talkin' horse. Mr. Ned: How on earth did I come to be here? An' how comes I kin talk like a human bean? Why, I don't remember nothin'. But at least I'm here, that's the mane thing. Mr. Ned: I got me a fuzzy memory of a mighty purdy castle, an' a whole herd o' people... Mr. Ned: I guess if I seen that castle again, I could maybe remember me a little mare- uh, a little more, I mean. Rocky: I went down to the pond to catch that freakin' frog, but I guess I just missed the little guy. Rocky: I just can't do no work if my Adrian ain't feelin' good. I can't keep my mind on nothin' else. Adrian: I wanted to make my Rocky a beautiful froggy fricassée for his dinner... Adrian: ...but I couldn't find the freakin' fricassée's fundamental fixin': a frog! Oh, I'm a failure! Waaah! (sob) There's a book called "Chronicles of Pioniria". Hero takes it from the shelf and reads an excerpt. "When the town once more becomes a castle, his body shall rise again from the pot in the south-western room. "Then, from the depths of the castle, from deep within a treasure chest filled with pain, his heart also shall rise. "And finally, the Sultana of Pioniria's most treasured possession...in a treasure chest locked in a cell...the gift of her beloved king." Archie O'Logist: Hero! How've ye been'? It's me - Archie O'Logist! I came to this fine ole town to do me some diggin' fer ancient treasures, remember? Archie O'Logist: While I'm here, are ye wantin' to hear the tale of ole Pioniria, the town that stood here many moons ago? I put the tale together meself based on me research... Archie O'Logist: The sultans of the city o' Pioniria had a most holy an' magical pot that was passed from one generation to the next. Archie O'Logist: But it seems the pot was afflicted by some sort o' terrible curse, so it was. Archie O'Logist: Now, one day, Farog, the young sultan o' Pioniria, an' his lady wife went an' opened that pot, not knowin', o' course, o' the curse it contained. Archie O'Logist: No sooner did they pop it open than a most horrible genie appeared, an' summoned up a swirlin' great sandstorm. Archie O'Logist: The storm raged an' rumbled an' swallowed up the city o' Pioniria, buryin' it deep beneath the desert sands. Archie O'Logist: An' the gallant Farog, who tried his best to stand up to the genie an' protect his beloved kingdom, was cursed to take on a terrible new form. Archie O'Logist: Not interested, eh? Fair enough. Maybe another time, eh? Princess Pam: Why, hello there, old friend! Thanks awfully for telling me about this place. I would have been so dreadfully bored if I hadn't found it. Princess Pam: It's so peaceful without that old fool prattling on at me all the time. I rather think I could live here forever. Prelvis Esley: This here's the finest little boom town in all the world. And boy howdy is she boomin'! Viva Las (Pioneer Town)! Prelvis Esley: By the way, I ain't seen hide nor hair o' that little hound frog used to hang out by the pond there for a while now. I wonder where's he's got to... Prelvis Esley: What? He was bein' all shook up by some kind o' monster down underground there? Prelvis Esley: Aw shucks! You mean little ol' Mary Curey? I was surprised myself when that little sister came to town, but I knew it was her, soon as I seen 'er. Streo Louse: But I guess that's one o' the things makes this ol' life a challenge an' a pleasure all at once. Rocky: I went down to the pond to catch that freakin' frog, but I guess I just missed the little guy. Rocky: Hey, by the way, I been hearin' about a guy in some bar in Havre Léon, talkin' about wantin' to be a king or somethin'. Rocky: This town's gone from nuttin' to bein' a real contender. I figure we get us a king now, and the castle won't be too long followin'. Princess Pam: Why, hello there, old friend! Thanks awfully for telling me about this place. I would have been so dreadfully bored if I hadn't found it. Princess Pam: It's so peaceful without that old fool prattling on at me all the time. I rather think I could live here forever. Princess Pam: But if one is to live here for good, it would be preferable to have a well-appointed palatial bedchamber, and perhaps some guards also. Princess Pam: Speaking of which, when I was passing through Laissez Fayre, I did chance across a young man who was training as a guardsman. Zack: Mighty sorry, I ain't quite done it jes' yet. Zack: If you'll gimme jes' a little more time, I'll have it done real soon! Zack: An' I- Hey! It's you! Zack: Oh, uh, it was nothin'. Never you mind. Jes' thought you was someone else, that's all. Frog: Hero, you are truly a saver of lives! Frog: I had stepped out for a hop around town to look at the magnificent developments that have occurred, and then... Frog: To think, I was mere moments from being eaten up, and my bones scattered to the four winds! Mary Curey: (rumble) Burp! Ooh, that frog looks so tasty! I just want to globble him up- Oh! Um, hello... Mary Curey: It's, er...yes, the town is, um...yes, it's a lovely place...I was just, er... Mary Curey: Yes, I was just saying hello to my new neighbour, Mr. Frog there. Isn't he delici- I mean, um...delightful? (slurp) (rumble) Mary Curey: (rumble) Burp? Me? Eat lovely Mr. Froggy? Mary Curey: Don't be silly! You really shouldn't goo around listening to the terrible things people say all the slime. Mary Curey: You know very well I came here to start a new life away from the terrible slimes of my past. (*): It must be ten years now since I decided to become a king. (*): I've travelled all over the world, but I never found a kingdom yet that would let me rule over it. (*): There must be a settlement somewhere in need of a new monarch... Do you want to tell him about Hank Hoffman Jr.'s frontier town? (*): (Pioneer Town), eh? An up-and-coming town like that is sure to need a king. Or a democratically-elected president! (*): Thank you so much! I'll make my way there straight away. (*): (sigh) Sometimes I wish I'd never decided to become a king in the first place. When will I ever find my kingdom? Partz: Greetings, (Sir/Ma'am)! Partz, Private, First Class, reporting for duty, (Sir/Ma'am)! Partz: My body is a weapon primed for use in service of its country, (Sir/Ma'am)! I just haven't managed to identify which country yet, (Sir/Ma'am)! Do you want to tell him about Hank Hoffman Jr.'s frontier town? Partz: (Pioneer Town), (Sir/Ma'am)! Understood, (Sir/Ma'am)! Partz: Partz, Private, First Class, requesting permission to move out, (Sir/Ma'am)! Thank you, (Sir/Ma'am)! Partz: Partz, Private, First Class, standing easy until such time as a suitable destination is identified, (Sir/Ma'am)! Thank you, (Sir/Ma'am)! (*): Hello there! It's me! I'm the king you met in the pub in Havre Léon. You told me about (Pioneer Town)! (*): Great news - I spoke to that nice Mr. Hoffman, and he said it was fine for me to try being king! (*): The only thing is, there doesn't seem to be a castle in town yet, let alone a throneroom. (*): So you couldn't call me a real king yet, really. More of a king in waiting. (*): But if there's one thing I'm good at, it's waiting. You'll see - I'll be sitting atop a throne before you can say "monarchotheism"! Partz: Halt! Who goes there? Partz: ...Oh, it's you, (Sir/Ma'am)! Why didn't you say so, (Sir/Ma'am)? Welcome to (Pioneer Town), (Sir/Ma'am)! Partz: I'm much obliged to you for telling me about this place back in Laissez Fayre, (Sir/Ma'am)! Partz: Mr. Hoffman very kindly asked me if I wouldn't mind becoming captain of the town guard, (Sir/Ma'am), and I accepted, (Sir/Ma'am)! Partz: Now all we need's a king and a castle,(Sir/Ma'am), and all my dreams will have come true at last! ♪ Ohhh, the buttons of unlocking are as round as the sun, and- (*): Oh, hello. Are you a traveller too? I'm Destiny, princess of pop! (*): I've been travelling the world to find a venue worthy of my vocal skills, and I happened across this place. Isn't it lovely? (*): If only there was a stage somewhere for me to perform on, I think I could settle down here, you know... Snowy: Well now, let's see... If I set aside jes' about this much fer playin' cards, then that leaves... Snowy: Hey, whaddya think yer doin'? Snowy: Cain't y'all see I'm busy here tryin' to figure if I got enough dinero in the ol' purse to stick around here for good? (*): Arf! Woof woof! Streo Louse: Howdy, I'm Streo Louse. I been sittin' here havin' me a good ol' think about them there chance encounters. Streo Louse: There's as many people in this world as there are stars in that big ol' sky, but you'll only ever come across a few. Streo Louse: Seems you gotta make the most o' them encounters when they happen. Mr. Ned: Why howdy there, I'm Mr. Ned, the talkin' horse. Mr. Ned: Hey, guess what? I done remembered how I come to be here, an' how comes I kin talk like a human bean! It all come gallopin' back to me! Partz: Greetings, (Sir/Ma'am), and welcome to (Pioneer Town) Castle. (Sir, welcome, Sir/Ma'am, welcome, Ma'am)! Partz: (Sir/Ma'am), the King will see you now, (Sir/Ma'am)! Partz: Aww, man, I always wanted to say that! (*): You there! Have you heard? (*): Oh, did I tell you already? Hahaha, oh, I don't know, I'm just so happy! Anyway... (*): To commemorate the city becoming a magnificent castle, I decided to give my shop a fittingly celebratory name. (*): I called it..."War-Mart"! What do you think? Pretty good, eh? Anyway... Rocky: We been through all kinds o' problems, but I'm glad we moved out here. Rocky: Seems Adrian's kinda used to it now, too, an' we got a baby comin' soon. Man, I feel like the heavyweight champion o' the freakin' world! Adrian: Ya know, I guess I'm pretty happy with my life right now. Adrian: I just hope I can spend the rest o' my days like this with my Rocky. He's my hero! (*): Hello there! It's me! I'm the king you told about (Pioneer Town) in the pub in Havre Léon. (*): I'm so glad I came here. I've been so happy since I became king! Snowy: Well now, let's see...if the odds for that race are gonna be... Snowy: Hey, whaddya think you're doin'? Can't you see I'm busy? Talk to me later. Princess Pam: Good day to you, I am Princess Pam. It's so lovely to come from one palace to another! And I have such a gorgeous room! Princess Pam: If only there was a handsome prince as well, everything would be perfect... Prelvis Esley: I can't believe I been lucky enough to be here right from when this place started way down as a little village to now, when it's a bona fide boom city! Prelvis Esley: I guess if one night I happen across a real nice spot, I might build a town o' my own, an' do it my way! (*): Hi, I'm Hannibal. I used to be the leader of a crack Pionirian commando unit. Hannibal: By rights, I should've been swallowed down with the castle when that sandstorm happened. Hannibal: Anyway, I'm back now, and I just can't wait to knuckle down, break the rest of my unit out of their maximum security stockade, and get to work. (*): Arr, I've washed me hands of the gamblin' game, so I have, along with all me sinnin' ways. (*): But I was a fine gambler in me day, an' no mistake. Why, once I won me 838861 casino tokens off just 4 gold coins... Arr, them were the days. (*): Hello there. Shall I tell you a little about the slot machines? (*): The slot machines offer big prizes, but only every once in a while. You'll lose a lot, but when you do win, you'll win big. (*): Each machine has its own peculiarities too, so machine selection is as important a skill as any other. (*): ♪ Oh with a meteorite bracer up your sleeve, you'll be sped up like you would never believe! ♪ (*): Howdy, honey. I'm Dolly, princess o' song. I'm jes' dressed like this right now for a little bit o' fun. (*): What can I do for you, honey? A love song, maybe? (*): Or maybe you're after somethin' you can dance to. How's about this little number? (*): Howdy. I'm Zack, an' I done retired to this here town to git me some peace. Zack: I thought I'd be retirin' here an' then livin' a few years before makin' my peace an' passin' on quietly. Zack: If you'd've ever told me I'd live to see the day the castle came back from from under that there desert, I'd've called you crazy! Mr. Ned: I used to work here, in the castle o' the greatest city in all the world: Pioniria! Mr. Ned: An' this castle we got here now is jes' the spit o' the one we had in them days. They couldn't be mare alike! Mr. Ned: Anyways, I knowed about that there cursed pot, so I done trotted up to try an' tell Sultan Farog, but that evil sorcerer caught me on the hoof, an'... Mr. Ned: Well, that's when I got turned into a horse. But hay, I kin talk now, an' I kinda like livin' stallion style. Mr. Ned: Why howdy there, I'm Mr. Ned, the talkin' horse. Mr. Ned: I'm jes' geed up to be able to watch over the ol' castle again. Psaro, Queen of the Desert (*): Hello there, lovie. I'm Psaro, Queen of the Desert, and I've come all the way down from dear old Femiscyra. Psaro, Queen of the Desert: What's that? Do you know me from somewhere? Ooh, cheeky! You're very forward, aren't you, love? Archie O'Logist: How d'ye do? I'm Archie O'Logist. Are ye wantin' to hear the tale of ole Pioniria, the town that stood here so many moons ago? Archie O'Logist: The sultans of the city o' Pioniria had a most holy an' magical pot that was passed from one generation to the next. Archie O'Logist: But it seems the pot was afflicted by some sort o' terrible curse, so it was. Archie O'Logist: Now, one day, Farog, the young sultan o' Pioniria, an' his lady wife were after openin' that pot, not knowin' o' course o' the curse it contained. Archie O'Logist: No sooner did they pop it open than a most horrible genie appeared, an' summoned up a swirlin' great sandstorm. Archie O'Logist: The storm raged an' rumbled an' swallowed up the city o' Pioniria, buryin' it deep beneath the desert sands. Archie O'Logist: An' the gallant Farog, who tried his best to stand up to the genie an' protect his beloved kingdom, was cursed to take on a terrible new form. Archie O'Logist: Not interested, eh? Fair enough. Maybe another time, eh? Princess Pam: Sultan Farog's a handsome man, isn't he? And very young, too. I absolutely must make him mine! Hannibal: You're telling me that frog that was there was actually Sultan Farog? Hannibal: I guess we owe you one, soldier! Hannibal: Me and my unit, the H-Team, will attach ourselves to Sultan Farog's outfit immediately, and assist in guarding (Pioneer Town). Zack: Oh, by the by, you heard what it says in that there book with the legend about this ol' town? Well, I'll tell y'all... "When the town once more becomes a castle, his body shall rise again from the pot in the south-western room. "Then, from the depths of the castle, from deep within a treasure chest filled with pain, his heart also shall rise. "And finally, the Sultana of Pioniria's most treasured possession...in a treasure chest locked in a cell...the gift of her beloved king." Zack: Yessiree, that's what it says. Mary Curey: What's going on? Where did my favourite damp spot goo? Mary Curey: Ohhhh... Buuuurrrrrp... Frog: Greetings, Hero! You have finally brought the city from its humble origins to this most stately and palatial form. Frog: It is the very image of the castle that once stood on this spot in the days of Pioniria. Frog: Perhaps that which was stolen from me by the monsters can be located somewhere in the depths of this castle also. Frog: I can tell you no more at the moment, but I believe most fervently that you can help me. Sultan Farog: Greetings, Hero! I am very pleased to meet you for this, the...ah, first time. I am Sultan Farog. Sultan Farog: I once ruled over this castle, but in my foolishness, I lost the woman I loved, and my home was swallowed by the sands of the desert. Sultan Farog: But this new life you have given to me, Hero - this I shall not waste. Sultan Farog: I shall help the most excellent townsfolk of (Pioneer Town) to protect and serve their humble homeland. Sultan Farog: Had (Pioneer Town) never been established, the chance encounter that led to our meeting would never have occurred. Sultan Farog: Fate is truly a fickle mistress. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done. Sultan Farog: I only wish I could bestow upon you a fitting token of my gratitude, but I am afraid this is all I have. Sultan Farog: I chanced upon it in the pond when I was in my froggy form. It is a mere trifle, but please accept it. Sultan Farog takes a brightly shining medal from his pocket. On closer inspection, it turns out to be a mini medal! Sultan Farog: I shall offer a thousand prayers for your well-being on the road to adventure, old friend. Hank Hoffman Jr.: Well, if it ain't ol' Hero(! Howdy, pardner!/ and comp'ny! Howdy, y'all!) Hank Hoffman Jr.: I came a-runnin' on up here soon as I seen what was happenin' to my dear ol' town. Hank Hoffman Jr.: I wanted it to grow into the mightiest city the world ever saw. Instead, it done gone and turned into a big ol' castle! Hank Hoffman Jr.: ...Well, ain't much I can do about that now, huh? (sigh) Hank Hoffman Jr.: Alright then, I'm off back to my little ol' shack. Hank Hoffman Jr.: Y'all be sure an' come on by an' see me once in a while, y'hear? Don't be (a stranger/strangers) now. So long, (pardner/pardners)! (Character) opens the treasure chest. A bright light shines forth from the depths of the chest. (Character) releases Sultan Farog's heart from its prison! A bright light shines forth from the depths of the pot. (Character) releases Sultan Farog's body from its prison! Once his body is released also, the Sultan can finally return. Once his heart is released also, the Sultan can finally return. (Character) is treated to a great big lick on the face! {{spoiler|end}}
