===Last Chance Saloon & Con Cave===

{{spoiler|start}}

(*): Neigh.

A desert stretches off into the distance as far as the eye can see.

It would be impossible to cross such a large expanse without a wagon.

Hank Hoffman Jr.: You want me to give you my wagon so ya can carry on your journey to save the world?

Hank Hoffman Jr.: Sounds mighty fishy to me. You can't expect me to believe a tall old tale like that.

Hank Hoffman Jr.: Never mind. I ain't in the mood for people right now. Get outta here, will ya?

Hank Hoffman Jr.: Leave me alone, y'hear?

Hank Hoffman Jr.: You're pretty slow, ain't ya? Well, maybe I'll share a little story with you if you ain't budgin'.

Hank Hoffman Jr.: A long while back now, I was travellin' around just like you are.

Hank Hoffman Jr.: I heard talk of the world's most important treasure bein' hidden in some cave.

Hank Hoffman Jr.: A friend and I moseyed on down there to see what we could find.

Hank Hoffman Jr.: He was my best buddy...or so I thought. But then he went an' stabbed me in the back.

Hank Hoffman Jr.: Huh! It makes me mad just talkin' about it. I ain't never trustin' no one again. Now get outta here!

Hank Hoffman Sr.: Did you meet the guy with the wagon? That kid's my only son, y'know. Hank Hoffman Junior.

Hank Hoffman Sr. He went off with a friend to the eastern cave a while back now.

Hank Hoffman Sr.: It was his horse Mary Lou who brought him back, though. Sakes alive, he was covered in blood!

Hank Hoffman Sr. He ain't been able to trust a soul ever since.

Hank Hoffman Sr. I still don't know what happened to him at that cave. He won't even tell his own daddy.

(*): Now I'm in a pickle. I was hoping to borrow a wagon to cross the desert, but that guy's a real hard nut.

It's a fragile-looking wall with cracks all over it. But it would still take at least three people to break it down.

It's a strong iron door. It would be impossible for one person to open it alone.

It's a statue of the Goddess with a merciless smile.

Maya: Oh, thank goodness! You've come to rescue us.

Meena: We've been waiting here for so long time. But we knew you would be coming to find us sooner or laters.

Maya: Arey, yes! We've been waiting a long, long time...

Meena: ...for you to fall into our trap!

(*): Ka ka ka! When I've gobbled these up, you'll be next! Just wait your turn quietly.

(*): Ka ka ka! Your human blood feeds us monsters with delicious power.

Maya: What has been taking you so long? We're really needing your rescuing here.

Maya: What? You were fighting some monsters who looked like us upstairs? Are you crazy, please?

Maya: Come on! If you don't get moving, we will all be eaten alive.

Meena: Maya is right. The monsters won't stop until they've sucked every last drop of blood...

Maya: ...out of you!

Maya: How could you be doing this to us!? We've been down here forever!

Maya: What? Is it really us!? You were attacked by monsters looking like us, and now you think we are monsters, too?

Maya: You are really off your nut, no? Stop talking all this silly-billy nonsense and help us! Otherwise we will all be eaten alive.

Maya: Waah, Hero! You've come to save us! Well! We're not so stupid any more!

Maya: We know you're just (a monster who is looking like Hero/looking like Hero and the others. But really you are monsters). You're dead meat this time!

Meena: No! Wait, sis. I think this is really Hero. I can feel it.

Maya: Hm. Maybe... Okay, then. I'll ask a question that only Hero would know the answer to.

Meena was the one wasting all the money at the Endor casino, right?

Maya: No! It was me! You're (a monster/monsters), just like I was thinking!

Meena: No, sis. I don't think so. It is you, isn't it, Hero? You're just joking with us, no?

Maya: Hmph. It was an easy-peasy question. But...I suppose you must be the real Hero.

Meena: I'm sorry we doubted you, please. It's just that we were attacked by so many monsters pretending to be you.

Maya: We can't go on doubting you forever. I suppose we have to trust you.

Meena: Okay, then. Let's go!
