Chapter 7: Difference between revisions

A couple of Pigmasks ask him to assist in searching for the runaway monkeys, saying that the monkeys are probably hiding somewhere within the building. In one of the specimen rooms, Lucas finds [[Salsa]] and his [[Samba|girlfriend]] hiding behind one of the fossil displays. The two monkeys then run off, hiding elsewhere. When Lucas and Boney exit the room, however, they are attacked by an [[Almost Mecha-Lion]]. They try to fight it off, however, when it appears to be broken down and defeated, it gets up again. Four Pigmasks rush into the room with a [[Clayman]], and the Clayman manages to knock it out and drag it away. The Pigmasks have apparently found and settled the various runaway [[Chimera]]s, however, only one remains: the [[Ultimate Chimera]]. After an awkward pause, they all rush off to go take care of it. The Ultimate Chimera now lurks the narrow hallways of the laboratory, and Lucas must take care not to run into it, lest he risk an instant KO.

Shortly after the three of them exit [[Doria]]'s house, they accidentally bump into a mouse. The mouse is enraged and attacks them, but they take it down rather easily. The mouse then apologizes for his behavior, and introduces himself as [[The Squeekz]]. He realizes his lack of strength, and decides to return to his family living on the [[highway]]. Soon afterwards, [[Lucas]] runs into the same [[Mole Cricket|mole cricket]] that he fought [[Prologue|three years ago]]. The mole cricket offers to take them to the [[Mole Cricket Hole|stadium]] for a match, and shows them the way down to the [[Mole Cricket Hole]]. Lucas and company follow him down the hole and over to where the mole cricket elder is standing, and the young mole cricket prepares himself for combat. He's taken down very easily, however, and the elder is rather shocked by even the strongest warrior in the hole is very weak, and starts to reconsider the path they have taken as warriors. He then offers a truce, and asks everyone if there's anything he can do for them. [[Kumatora]] asks about the [[Seven Needles|needle locations]], however, the young mole cricket explains that they don't know very much about the world outside of their hole. He does mention that he's got a gut feeling about the [[Snowcap Mountain|mountain]] outside of the hole, however, and the elder agrees. Lucas and Kumatora then travel through the maze-like hole, following a tip that some of the mole crickets let them in on about the hole; when there's a corner, always turn and never go straight. They eventually reach the exit of the hole, leading to a snow-covered mountain; [[Snowcap Mountain]].

Upon landing in the cemetery, a bottle is shaking by itself. [[Lucas]] walks over to it and finds that there is a letter inside, written in odd writing. The gravestone near by the bottle then reveals a ladder beneath it, and Lucas goes down it to investigate. Another shaking bottle is down there, stating that the writer was attacked and instructs him to go near [[Thunder Tower]]. A [[Mr. Saturn]]-shaped coffee table is next to the bottle, and is able to be rode on. Lucas and his party get on the table, and ride it through the underground passageway, and navigate the [[highway]]. Near by Thunder Tower, a path is now accessible to the east, leading into a cave. Many construction materials are scattered about in the cave, and the path eventually narrows down to where they have to get off the coffee table and walk through the rest of the cave. The cave then leads to [[Saturn Valley]], with many [[Pigmasks]] invading the [[Mr. Saturn]]s's village. Inside of the houses, various Pigmask Majors are trying to frighten the Mr. Saturns into revealing important info, using [[Frightbot]]s to tell scary stories and make horrifying noises. In the northeastern-most house, [[Duster]] and [[Rope Snake]] are tied up with a couple of Mr. Saturns, and Lucas and company manage to defeat the Pigmasks and their Frightbots, clearing them out of the village.  

After washing up on [[Cerulean Beach]]'s shore, a nearby crab notices [[Lucas]] and tells him about [[Tanetane Island]] and how to get there. The only way to get to the island is to walk along the ocean floor themselves, as no boats sail to the island. Lucas and his party then dive into the [[Sea Floor Dungeon|ocean]], and find two [[Pigmask]]s wearing underwater uniforms. The Pigmasks are using a merman-shaped machine to replenish their oxygen. One of them comments on how demoralizing the machines are, having to be kissed by the machine in order to transfer oxygen. The other admits that he likes it quite a lot, disturbing the first one and making him back away slightly. When Lucas reaches the oxygen machine, he finds that he can use them as well, and makes the underwater trip much easier. Throughout the ocean maze, there are various fish around, some of which are hostile, and others that are friendly and talk. Deeper in the maze, a [[Fish Roe Man]] guards one one of the pieces from Lucas's special set of armor - the [[Awesome items|Awesome Crown]]. Near the end of the path, the four of them encounter [[Master Eddy]], who creates a whirlpool and forces them into a fight. During the battle, however, Master Eddy uses a massive whirlpool to wash away everyone's items and causes everyone to faint.
