D'Story
The Summary of Illumination:
In C Story (the sequel to B story and prequel to D story, if you were wondering), Gregle the Eagle and Lenny the Cow/Pig continued their journey to the land of Wolley to find a mystical power that will help them defeat evil. Along the way:
^The characters conversed, and Fond Memories were laughed at.
^Cali accidentally(?) found the land of Wolley by eating some Snodgrass.
^After eating Snodgrass themselves, the others joined her and climbed a large snowy mountain while having a Joyful Time.
^At the top, the group discovered a cave which contained a stone statues of a large penguin and panda.
^The panda and penguin (and tiny mouse) were brought to life, bringing the current crime-fighting team up to 10 animals: Gregle the Eagle, Lenny the Cow/Pig, Trevor the Lemur, Skunk Boy, DalmatiHonn, Cali, Panda Jr., Tai the Panda, the Penguin-G, and Nicomouse.
And now, the moment you hadn't been waiting for until now...
D'Story.
With the appearence of three new animals, very closely resembling their old friends, the team thought it would be worthwhile to listen to what the newbies had to say. And the rest is his story (actually, thier story, but that is not a clever play on words).
"Well, one day I was watching myself flex in the mirror," began Nicomous, "but I can't get up high enough to see in the mirror, because I am so small..."
"So he came to ask us to lift him up," interupted Penguin G, "like we usually do, but when we got to the bathroom..."
"The mirror was gone!" squeked Nicomous with such excitement that he toppled over.
"Right. Then Tai told us: 'There is an ancient Panda-legend among pandas that there is one ancient panda, who lives atop Panda Mountain at the center of Panda Forest, and his knowledge is the greatest among all pandas. Maybe he could help us.'"
"I did say that," said Tai.
"That sounds familiar," thought the other 7 characters.
"So we began to head to Panda Forest, which is a long long way from Worshington," continued Penguin G.
"You mean Washington?" asked Gregle.
"Right, that's what I said. Worshinton. W-A-S-H-I-N-G-T-O-N. Moving on, we were on our way but got into a fight on the way with some nasty weevils."
"It was pretty cool though," said Nicomous, "so cool, it should be described in third-person."
The Fight:
Nicomous, Penguin G, and Tai the Panda were walking down a street when the heard the ominous sound of something weevil-y. Nicomous sprang into action, sinking his tiny mouth teeth into th nearest weevil, which is nasty, because weevils are gross bugs, if you didn't know. But he did it anyway because it was a fight and now his side was winning. Penguin G got a running start and, sliding on his belly like a kid on a waterslide, bowled down numerous weevils. Tai the panda took a big bite of rice (Tai the Panda got his strength from eating rice, not bamboo) and then unleashed a massive panda punch that completely vaporized the nearest weevil. And that is what happened.
"It was awesome," continued Nicomous. "And then this Zebra and Penguin came down and started talking to us, saying how cool the fight was and how they fight crime, and..."
"WHAT?!" exclaimed 5 of the animals. Cali had just barked, and Panda Jr. had made a funny noise, that kind of sounded like "what?!" but nobody was really quite sure.
"Yeah a Zebra. I think his name was Zebra-Man, and the Penguin was..."
"Penguin Guy," said Penguin G. "I don't know why I remembered it.
"There is no way that was Zebra-Man! We saw him at the castle, after it had been crushed. It can't have been him," concluded Trevor the Lemur.
"How many zebras do you know that fight crime?" asked Tai.
"None,: the five answered.
"I mean, how many zebras do you know that THINK they can fight crime?"
"Just one," said DalmatiHonn. "It must have been him."
To ruin the suspense, it had been him. And Penguin Guy. And after meeting Tai, Nicomous, and the Penguin G, the five of them continued to Panda Mountain, which is where ZebraMan and Penguin Guy had been headed anyway, because they were hoping that the ancient panda could give them some insight on why it seemed that evil had returned. When they reached the mountain, they found the ancient panda and asked him for advice. Being old and crazy, the ancient panda had mistaken them for a group of cow/pigs, and delivered the same prophecy that Eads had given to Gregle and Lenny in A Story.
"I dont see how this wil get our mirror back," said Nicomous sullenly, but they decided to split up, with the three newbie heading to Wolley while Zebra Man and Penguin Guy would go to the reputably more dangerous Der, due to their years of experience.
"So we came this far," said Penguin G, "because Tai accidentally ate some Snodgrass, and we came into this cave and then magically got turned into stone."
"You came here to look for a power that will unite the new and old, and turned into stone, thereby becoming the new power we were sent to find? Wow, you literally self-fulfilled that prophecy," said Skunk Boy (and that is where the expression comes from. The more you know.)
"I guess so," said Tai. "But now that you found us, shouldn't we go look for Zebra Man and Penguin Guy?"
"Yeah, we have to," said Lenny. "We were going to Der anyway, and they must be the old power we have to find!"
"First though," said DalmatiHonn, "I'm tired of just journeying and never fighting, like in the good ole days. Plus we need to work together as a team, and see what the baby Panda can do. Let's go pone some Nubians."
So they traveled to Nubia, which is en route to Der (get a map), and found a shady looking neighborhood. Nubians are not to be confused with Nubians, which are a group of people near Egypt (I have to keep all my media/endorsement options open). The Nubians in this story are very Angry and Disagreeable Bears, and they are mean and if they have a choice, prefer to make the more evil and less good choice. And as our good guys approached, the fight began.
Another Fight:
It had been awhile since their last fight, but the team wa motivated by the hope of reuniting with their old friends and fixing the evils of Pandora's Box. Cali and DalmatiHonn lulled the Nubians into a false sense of security by rolling on their backs, while Trevor the Lemur purred and rubbed against their legs. This sentimental moment was broken by a belly-sliding Penguin G, who bowled over most of the awe-struck Nubians. This started the all-out brawl. Gregle the Eagle attacked with his razor sharp talons, while Nicomous, perched on Lenny's shoulders, was punching them in the jeans. Skunk Boy had a newfound talent, one that went beyond scratching at bad guy's feet. This time, he also scratched their shins and calves. While Tai held up Nubians, Panda Jr. knocked them to the ground, while laughing hysterically. And this process continued. So went the first battle against the Nubians, and their first battle together.
Afterwards, while recapping the high points of the battle play-by-play, the team was surprised to see another figure begin to emerge from a shadow, slowly clapping.
"Well done. I'm surprised you newbs still have what it takes to take on those Nubians."
"Say that again to our face!" yelled Nicomouse, angry at the hidden insult.
"I will," said the figure as it stepped into the sunlight.
COMMERCIAL!!
(I'm just getting ready for the "Zebra-Man TV Hour." It shoud be airing soon. Check your newpaper for local listings.)
"No way!" cried Skunk Boy, DalmatiHonn, and Trevor the Lemur. Cali had whimpered and crawled behing Tai.
It was Piginny.
"Yes, it's true: said Piginny. "And I'm not alone."
The team gaped as Skaylee also came up to join Piginny.
"Th.. this isn't... how could this...?" sputtered DalmatiHonn.
"We won this fight once, we can win it again!" said Skunk Boy bravely.
"Yes, but before you do, there's something you should know," said Piginny. "We're good now!"
"What?!" said all of the characters again (even Panda Jr.).
"Yeah, sorry about the creepy entrance, it's all part of this stupid "Zebra-Man TV Hour" thing. We couldn't just say it and save you all the suspense."
"How can we believe you?" asked Trevor the Lemur.
"Check this out," said Piginny, and then there was a 45 second montage of Piginny and Skaylee helping in a community garden, reading to underpriveleged youth, and feeding the homeless (it's cooler on TV).
"I'm convinced," said Penguin G.
"Why is no one we thought was dead actually dead!?" asked Skunk Boy.
"Two reasonsss," said Skaylee, "One, in all great literature, and made for TV short stories, no one actually dies. Look it up. Two, there is an ancient legend among whales, that if a whale sacrifices his life for his friends, then he will become one with the spirit of Keiko, and because Keiko can never die, the whale and the friends he saved can return and live again. Look it up."
"So if you are back, and Zebrs Man and Penguin Guy are back, where are..."
"Hey, we're still good!" said Mary the Goose and James the Killer Whale (in a nearby pond). They had kind of missed their cue. DK the Rock said: "The crafty rabbit has three different entrances to its lair."
And they all laughed.
"What about Smitty the Kitty (the lemur)," asked Trevor the Lemur (the cat).
"He's in his room," said Piginny. "We'll worry about that later. What should we do now?"
"Let's go to Der. This is fun and all, but I still dn't have a mirror," said Nicmous.
And they all laughed, while the fifteen of them walked, flew, crawled, swam, slithered, scurried, and however-DK-the-Rock-moved (without Zebra Man's fannypack) on towards the Land of Der.
