Chapter 2 - Finale: Cave Story

(The episode begins deep underground in a long cavern. Several zubats fly through it. We hear a voice.)

???: Marioooooo! Luigiiiiii! Princeeeeeess! (We see that the voice is coming from Captain Toad, who is wandering through the cave.) Hellooooo? (Sighs.) Where could my friends be. Oh! (The camera turns to focus on a yellow wollywog (Pikmin). Toad excitingly rushes over to see it.) Hello there. Have you seen my friends? (The wollywog ribbits and jumps into the air. Toad looks up and attempts to run away from it. He falls over and the wollywog lands right behind him and ribbits again. Toad sighs.)

(We cut away to a small, mostly closed off section of the caverns. This part has four zombies (Minecraft) guarding a chest from Minecraft. Suddenly, one is hit by a gunshot and dies. The rest of the zombies look over to where the shot came from. We see that the person who fired is Quote, holding the polar star.)

Quote: Gotcha! (Quote jumps down to where the zombies are. Two start walking towards him, but he hits them both with the polar star. The last one comes up behind him and when it gets close, Quote uses his booster to fly away from him and shoots it with the polar star. The zombie dies and drops some rotten flesh. Quote walks over to the chest, and rummages inside. He pulls out a bone.) Nope. (He tosses it. He pulls out a gold ingot.) Looks like junk. (He tosses that too. He pulls out a diamond sword.) Hmm, might as well keep this. (He pockets it and continues on his way.)

(We cut back to Toad. He's still walking, until he finds the cave entrance to a large area. He looks in curiously before going in.)

Toad: Wow. This place is huge. Hel-lo! (His words echo throughout the cavern. Suddenly, a low rumbling is heard and a man suddenly falls through the cave ceiling and onto the ground.) Woah! (Toad runs over to help him. On closer inspection, the man who fell through is revealed to be Taizo Hori..) Are you okay?!

Taizo: Oof... p-pookas... they attacked me... urgh...

Toad: M-M-M-Monsters! (The camera shifts to the hole in the ceiling, and a group of pookas (Dig Dug) fall out of it and quickly surround our heroes. Taizo gets up to help fight. One pooka runs up towards Taizo, who starts up his drill.)

Taizo: Stay back! I have a drill!! (Toad looks around before pulling up a weed from the ground and revealing it to be a turnip. Toad throws it at a pooka, who falls back and hits another one.)

Toad: Oh yeah!

(We cut back to Quote, who is walking and seems to notice something. We look over to see a group of mole miners loading up a minecart train with different ores and jewels. Mole Miner Max (Donkey Kong) is directing them.)

Quote: Hello. Who are you all? (Mole Miner Max looks over at Quote, shocked. He screams orders at the mole miners, who also take notice of Quote. They approach him.) Uh... I don't mean any harm. Just passing through. (Noises are heard behind Quote, and he turns around to see two monty moles break out from the wall behind him. They run towards him and jump on to him.) Hey! Get off! (Two mole miners grab Quote by the arms and start pulling him towards the minecart train.) Woah woah woah! Can't we just talk this out! No need to get physical! (They drag him onto the front of the train as another mole miner gets a pickaxe to swing at Quote.) Alright, now you've asked for it. (Quote uses his booster to fly up and out of the grasp of the moles. A mole miner accidentally hits a monty mole with his pickaxe. Quote lands and quickly shoots the moles who had grabbed him.) Oh yeah! Who's ne-. Oh boy... (A bunch of mole miners and monty moles start slowly walking towards Quote angrily.) I'm gonna go.

(Quote quickly turns and runs as Mole Miner Max barks more orders. The moles start getting the minecart train moving. Quote runs up to a lone minecart and turns around to the moles, weighing his options.)

(We cut back to Toad and Taizo. Toad jumps on a pooka defeating it. In the background, Taizo throws his pump into a pooka and inflates it. It pops. We cut to a single pooka standing in the middle of the room. Sounds of the fight echo around him until it is silent. The pooka suddenly looks very worried as the camera shifts around to our heroes surrounded by defeated pookas.)

Taizo: Only one more left. (Slight rumbling sounds are heard. The pooka starts to look confident and runs towards the heroes before being crushed by something else falling from the ceiling. It's the Waterwraith (Pikmin) who bangs his rock wheels on the ground in anger.) Is that... water?

Toad: What is that thing?!

Taizo: We should run.

Toad: What?

Taizo: Run! Now! (The two heroes run off as the Waterwraith gives chase. They all run through a tunnel that is barely large enough for them to get through. On the other side of the tunnel, a breadbug (Pikmin) is dragging a mega mushroom. Our heroes and the Waterwraith barrel past him, shocking the breadbug and forcing him to drop the mega mushroom. He also growls. Toad and Taizo continue along before hitting train tracks parallel to the wall and a dead end. They look back in horror as the Waterwraith approaches.) This is the end of the line! (Something is heard on the train tracks. Toad looks over to it. Toad suddenly grabs onto Taizo, jumps up high, and lands in a minecart containing Quote. The minecart train isn't far behind. The Waterwraith follows in pursuit.)

Quote: Uh... hello there.

Toad: (Waving.) Hi!

Taizo: Are we being followed?!

Quote: (Looking back at the minecart train.) Oh... that. I may have angered a group of moles.

Taizo: They look friendlier than... (The Waterwraith suddenly jumps up and hits the ground hard.) That!

Quote: What is that?!

Toad: Hey guys! We've got a split path! (We see a split path in the train tracks. The controls to the path are to the right of it.)

Taizo: (Thinking.) I might have an idea. (The heroes' cart goes on the right tracks and Taizo shoots his harpoon at the control lever, changing the tracks. The minecart train goes on the left tracks, while the Waterwraith follows the right tracks. As the cart continues on, a minecart with a miner mole in it jumps from the left track to the right track behind the cart.)

Quote: (Taking aim.) I'll take care of this guy. (Before he can shoot, the miner mile throws a stone and hits Quote in the head, knocking him out. The miner mole prepares to throw another stone, but Taizo picks up the stone thrown at Quote and throws it back at the miner mole. It hits him in the face, knocking him off the minecart. Another minecart jumps to the right track, this time in front of our heroes' minecart. The miner mole prepares to attack, but Toad turns on his headlamp which blinds the miner mole and forces the miner mole to fall off.)

Toad: Hooray! (The Waterwraith destroys the minecart behind them.) Oh no... (Quote wakes up.)

Quote: What happened? Did we win? (The Waterwraith makes a loud noise.)

Taizo: Not quite. Let's get moving.

Toad: We gotta get off these tracks.

Quote: Hold on. (Quote grabs Toad and Taizo and uses his booster to fly to the minecart train. The Waterwraith destroys the minecart they were in. As soon as our heroes land, moles start coming after them. Taizo uses his pump on a monty mole and pops it while Quote shoots a miner mole, who drops his pickaxe. Toad walks over and picks it up.)

Toad: Oh yeah! (Toad starts wildly swinging the pickaxe, taking out everyone in the back karts of the train.)

Taizo: Woah, you're fast with a pickaxe? (Toad takes out everyone and gets to the front of the train with Mole Miner Max. He dives at Toad, who jumps out of the way. Toad throws his pickaxe at Mole Miner Max, who ducks. The pickaxe almost hits Taizo. To Toad.) Hey! Watch it! (Mole Miner Max looks behind him as Toad jumps up and ground pounds. This knocks Mole Miner Max back to the last kart. He gets up, ready to attack. Sadly, the Waterwraith jumps to that track and lands on that specific kart. Mole Miner Max is dead.)

Quote: What're we gonna do?!

Toad: Hey guys?

Taizo: Yeah?

Toad: We're running outta track! (The camera pans to see the end of the tracks. The train hits the end and sends everyone flying. The Waterwraith approaches. Our heroes are cornered.)

Taizo: Well, this is it. Out of all the monsters I've found digging, I didn't think a big water drop would do this old man in. (Our heroes close their eyes in anticipation.)

???: Get back, you beast! (Our heroes open their eyes. They see Darunia with his megaton hammer strike the Waterwraith off of his rock wheels. He is now weak.) These caves belong to the Gorons! (Toad suddenly sees another weed and runs over to it.)

Taizo: Huh? Where're you... (Toad gives three giant pulls to the weed before pulling out a giant turnip. He throws it at the Waterwraith and it hits it into a wall. A bunch of rocks fall onto it. A poof sound is heard and a small fragment of a gem falls before Toad's feet. Toad picks it up and does a little dance.)

Toad: Oh yeah!

Darunia: Are you okay, warriors?

Quote: Yeah, thanks. (A bunch of gorons come out from a tunnel.)

Goron 1: Darunia, are you okay?

Goron 2: What happened?

Goron 3: We heard noises.

Darunia: Yeah, everyone's okay. No need to panic.

Taizo: Excuse me, but who are you?

Darunia: I am Darunia, leader of the Gorons. And you are?

Taizo: Taizo Hori, or Dig Dug as they call me.

Darunia: Dig Dug?

Taizo: An old nickname of mine.

Quote: I'm called Quote.

Toad: And I'm Captain Toad: leader of the Toad Brigade.

Darunia: I see. What are you three doing down here?

Quote: We're kinda lost. Can you help us get out?

Darunia: Certainly, follow me! (Everyone heads through the tunnel and we cut to them all walking out of a cave entrance.)

Toad: Woah!

Taizo: Amazing!

Quote: This place is beautiful!

Darunia: Will that be all?

Toad: Um, actually... you haven't happened to have seen Princess Peach around here, have you?

Darunia: Let me think... (He pauses a moment.) Haven't seen any princesses around here. Sorry.

Toad: (Sadly.) Oh, okay. (Taizo and Quote look at each other.)

Quote: Hey, Toad.

Toad: Yeah?

Quote: We can help you find this princess.

Toad: (Happy.) Really?!

Taizo: Yeah, I think we have a good dynamic going on.

Toad: Yippee! (Running off.) C'mon! We gotta get going!

Quote: (Following. To Taizo.) C'mon.

Taizo: What have I gotten myself into... (Our heroes run off towards the sunset.)
