Vi

WHAT? Care to say that AGAIN!?

I'M NOT A KID!

This guy's calling me a kid, says I can't explore!

Shut it. It's not about age, it's about skill!

I'm Vi, the best explorer the Hive has ever seen! I'm not some random bee!

Yeah. Got a problem? Saying bees can't explore? Expected honey and paint?

I'm worth like four bees, okay!?

What do you want?

What, do I look that desperate? I don't even know you!

Well... It can't be worse than having to stay put. Deal.

I'll prove you wrong!

Yeah. Bugs like you that look down on others are really annoying!

Test us, huh? Who named you king of this joint?

Watch your own horn, I was born ready!

I bet I know more stuff than you do! I'll be fine.

Hit me up. Maybe I'll even learn something.

Holding a button? Lame. Look at this!

If I press |button,4| at the right time, I can power up my Beemerang!

See? We're doing great!

I know! And if I press |button,4| at the right time...

O-ow! What the heck!? You trying to kill us or something?

Toy!? Argh. Now I'm mad!

It's time to use a skill! They're just like attacks, but you select them from the yellow flower!

Skills require us to use our TP (Teamwork Points), though. So watch out for how many we have left!

What!?

I did it! Snakemouth Den is going to be all mine! All the riches, all the glory!

What a weird bunch.

...So uh. I'm Vi, I guess. From the Hive near the big tree.

Cool.

Right! Yeah! Let's go right away! Don't fall behind, okay?

Something wrong?

Shush, Eetl. Just say it.

Yeah! I'm on the case, after all!

Uh, okay. Who are you again?

Uh, yeah. Thanks.

You know it!

I won't say no to free stuff! You've got a deal!

Woah. So everyone here is crazy strong!

What? You trying to say something?

What's your deal!? You wanna fight!?

Grr. Fine.

You tell her, Eri.

Argh! That stupid, roleplaying wannabe gatekeeper! I'll show him!

Oh, um, he's just kidding! Right, Kabbu?

Let's just go, Kabbu.

Heh. Couldn't stop me from exploring, could you?

I know that! But we're not going to be one of those.

Even Maki thinks we're decent.

We'll make it back, don't worry.

Hey, why're you hitting that crystal? You could break it, y'know?

Just tell us why.

You expect me to believe that? All that awesome stuff for hitting a rock?

W-Woah! It really works! This must sell for a fortune!

There goes that idea…

Yeah, sure. Let's get a move on.

Well, at least when it's not raining.

Hey! Kabbu! We're supposed to be adventuring! Snakemouth Den? Endless riches?

You call this cozy?

I'm not doing any pulling. At least not for free.

Woah! Nice.

You've got a reward ready, right?

It's really, really not.

Berries, so many berries!

Uh, yeah. I knew that.

You know what it's not? Snakemouth Den. Let's go!

Just watch yourself. I don't want to patch you up if you get hurt!

It doesn't look that scary, you know?

F-For real?

Geez, way to sell it to me, Kabbu.

But the higher the danger, the better the treasure!

Stop trying to scare me off. Let's get in there!

Look, I get that it's scary.

You don't have to say the whole thing every time.

Just get a move on.

Uh huh...Hey, Kabbu? Do you really have to comment on every small thing?

H-Hey, don't look so sad! Err, how about this?

If I wanna know more about where we are, or about something or someone near us...I'll just tap |button,9|. Sounds good?

Cool. Now, let's keep going!

Let's go before you jinx it!

Well, that's it. Game over. Let's go back.

Duh. I was kidding, you know? Look over there!

It's one of those ancient switches! We just need to hit it!

That's too much effort. I've got a better plan.

My mighty Beemerang! I just need to get in front with |button,6| and press |button,5| to throw it!

Um, yeah! Of course! Just as planned!

Super reliable!

"Leave this place, for beyond this point lies great danger."

"We have already lost one of ours to this wretched place…"

No place full of treasure's ever been safe.

But it's ancient ruins, so not really.

What!? We did all this for THAT!?

Seriously? It wasn't even a rare item. Heck, it wasn't even a rare mushroom!

Who designed this place!? I will sting them in the face! I'll tear the place DOWN!

Grr!!!

Phew. That was close.

Kabbu! Are you okay!?

I guess he is. Hmm…

This is the perfect time to go home. I don't like the look of that place...

But I'm his reliable teammate…

...I'm going to regret this…

No rush. I can wait.

I would have carried you, but you seem really heavy…

Uh huh.

Anyways, this place is really creepy.

Let's be careful, okay? You were almost a goner!

Look, I can take care of myself. Don't make me regret coming with you.

Yikes... Is that a moth?

WAIT! HE'S ALIVE!

Okay, I'm just going to see if the Beemerang can cut through web…

A... A... A spider…

Kabbu! We've got to run! Treasure ain't worth this!

I...I...

Look, I-

H-Hey! I was going to apologize! And I came back, right?

You pushed me away from the web, but I still left, so I'm-

And we bail when we free him?

I apologized already!

H-Here it comes. Let's do this!

Alright! We did it!

Kabbu! I'm done here!

Let's get outta here!!!

Gee, glad it's too fat to come in here.

Um, Kabbu? Sorry for running away…

Took you long enough! Most people would be crying at getting rescued!

…!

What the... Hey! You okay? You hit your head?

Do you need like, a minute?

No big deal. It sucks that we're trapped, though.

You've got some luck to be alive... Did you learn anything scouting? About the artifact?

Seriously!? You came into this place without knowing how to fight!?

Ok. We've spent too much time here. Let's look for the exit!

No kidding. Can we just go?

You wanna get eaten by the spider!? We're not going back!

No issues here. I needed a break from all the death traps.

That is not happening.

I said it's not happening!

What a weird tablet. It’s written in an even weirder language…

What the heck!?

You seriously expect us to believe that!?

You're not some criminal with a HUGE bounty, are you?

Heh. You should let me attack three times! I'll take them all on!

Grr. Fine.

Everything's just too suspicious. I don't believe Leif yet.

I guess it's fine for now. Onward! I can almost smell the treasure!

Yep. Blue and pretty.

Like that convenient ice magic you pulled off here.

If anything, it'll be easier to get out now.

EEP!

It's not funny! I'm all soaked now!

Ugh, why is there so much water in here!? Under us, above us…it doesn't make sense!

That's pretty cool, Leif!

This room is gigantic!

No way, right is right!

No joke. Let's rest up and then explore some more!

Yeah. You only hear about roaches in folk tales nowadays…

A bit before I was born, I think.

HEY!

This is depressing talk. We should really find a way out!

Okay. I'll go check it out first.

If there's another trap, I can just fly out of it!

Must've sucked to live here.

Well, whatever. If they're guarding it that much... there's got to be something valuable behind it!

My Beemerang's paint is getting ruined from hitting all those switches!

What was that!? You wanna go back into the spider web!?

I guess. It was a pretty big switch.

Alright! That’s two switches!

Hey, I see some geysers!

Yeah, and maybe ice cubes won't melt when touching them!

How does this even fit in this cave?

Hmm... are we really going to be able to get out of here?

Not to be a downer or anything. I'm just kind of worried.

Yeah. You're right. Sorry about that.

Let's keep going!

There's so many cool mushrooms! I wonder how much they'd sell for.

Uh... Are you okay there, Kabbu?

It's the treasure room! We did it! We super ultra mega did it! Yeah!

Last one to the treasure is a FAT STINKBUG!

It doesn't really seem special. Or valuable.

L-Leif?!

Dibs. Leif shouldn't touch it anyways.

Yeah, yeah. Whatever.

Eep!

We need to leave!

S-Seriously!? The spider!?

B-But last time we had to run!

G-Gah! Alright! Let's take it out, before the room floods!

No problem! I was gonna beat it up anyways!

And we got the treasure, too!

...Aw, heck.

Ugh! I'm all soaked!!!

Cripes, we really got lucky.

Eep! The artifact! I dropped it!

Leif! Did you grab the artifact!?

So? Did you catch the artifact or…

Alrighty! Not a scratch!

Oh, drop it. You look super fine!

After we figure out where we are…

Geez, calm down over there! Let's report to the Queen and get our reward!

Eh, at least it's a quiet place. No issues with me!

No kidding! I don't wanna see rivers for a while!

Well, we did! And we got the artifact!

Yeah! We did it! In your face, Eetl!

It's folly to tell me I can't do something!

You're just fuzzy from the cave! I bet it'll come back to you!

A proper explorer team name!

Heheh. It better be!

Ah, it's nice to be back in the outskirts.

Uh...I haven't been out here that long, so I don't really know.

Stop! This nostalgia trip is over!

We know! We know!

By the time we're done, he won't have any prizes left to give out!

Yeah, we got super lucky…

Mmm...maybe. For a good reward!

You're gonna bankrupt us, Kabbu.

But meh. Time to go questing again!

It's good to know they have our back, though!

No kidding, you can already tell by her looks!

How did someone like him end up with a hot-headed cricket like her anyway?

That's because she keeps acting like he's a kid!

He's super able to do whatever he wants!

Hmph. Think what you want.

Let's hurry it up, then! It's big reward time!

D-Don't do that! It's dangerous!

Look. Don't ask me. Just don't do it.

We're not being...too mean to Kabbu, are we?

Don't even think about it. We're not getting one!

Tod's growing big and strong!

I'm not walking into this one. I must preserve my cute baby image!

That's Janet, Kabbu. Remember?

I think this is Ant Guard...seven?

Ant Guard number four used to occupy this post, but management must have switched them around.

I heard that!

You bet we did! You were all worried for nothing!

Doesn't she have anything better to do?

Must get super boring, right? Right?

Yeah. I'd like to see you try being a receptionist!

...I wonder if the Hive's been remodeled, or something…

Geez. I wanted to get mad, but she was way too polite!

What's her problem!?

We're ready, though!

Nuh uh! I want to see the reward first!

Just like that, huh?

Here you go!

W-Woah! This is a ton!

Heheh. First bee in the hall of fame!

Uh, isn't that Bee Kingdom territory?

Geez, alright. Let's go!

Geez…

You probably shouldn't keep staring.

I mean, wasn't it? Ants are weird…

Woah, she looks grumpy!

What d'ya mean?

That'd be weird. Going from full peace to nowadays.

You probably shouldn't keep staring.

Okay, okay. But stop staring, before they jail us!

Alright! We did it! Look at all these berries! Heheh…

We've got to celebrate! Maybe in the Golden Hills festival!

Uh, Leif? You could pretend to be happy or something.

WHAT!?

Y-Yeah! I wasn't even born when the new Queen took the throne!

S-Shh! You can't just say that in here!

...

Yikes, what should we do? This isn't normal at all…

Uh, yeah! Maybe there's clues around, or something…

Well, yeah!

Alright! Let's head on south, for clues and glory!

Oooh. Did you get to visit, Leif?

I bet there's huge treasure on the other side!

Not listening. I'm not giving up on my big treasure dreams!

The laiu... lieu... the ant captain's really cool!

...As I was saying, pretty cool!

Hmmmmmmm…

This is a miner ant, right?

But she's not mining at all! She's just guiding people to the mine!

It's like studying to be a chef, but having to work at the bank!

Meeeeeeeeeh…

These two are like night and day, huh.

You're both just nerds.

You...hunt facts? You can't smack facts…

Deal. How much info do you want?

Heheheh. Get ready for the next reward!

Huh?

Well, it was pretty good while it lasted!

The nerve! They just want us to do the clean up for free!

Looks like you found a new friend, Kabbu!

That took way too long! Can't you give us something for it?

Eh, it'll do.

Grace, huh. I guess the new Queen has more of a power aura!

Aren't you giving the new Queen too much of a rough time, though?

Well, she has a super big reputation to live up to. And a lot of bugs who didn't accept her from the start!

Just yet, huh.

I bet Elizant would be proud of the new Queen now, right?

Ugh, that one's super sappy. You read that stuff?

Okay, okay. I don't like it, though.

Oi!

So what, they fight in here?

Should just call it the Mission Room, then!

What's that supposed to mean!?

Uh, you know her?

...

She's really stuck around...I've never met a bug so old!

Eep! U-Um, sorry!

It's gonna make clearing quests a breeze!

The miners look cool. Way cooler than they need to!

It's super dusty! We should wear cloaks here too!

Don't get picky now. Give us the reward!

But I'm cuter, right?

Whew. I'm beat. Let's rest up!

The miners look cool. Way cooler than they need to!

...Welp, he ain't the only one!

Yup! And the commercial area is right over there!

Just go easy on the budget.

Anyways, let's go hit up Fry for some food!

Fine! Fine, I'll help! Stop being so dramatic!

Here, Fry. Cook this up!

...Look. Emergency rations are important, okay?

And this seemed like an emergency, so…

Glazed Honey is just the best! It's honey, but even better!

...A bit too savoury. We shoulda put honey in it!

It's such a boring meal though... Needs some honey!

(Poor them. I'll just eat some of my secret stash later!)

Can't explore on an empty stomach!

Sounds good. But it's time to get back to the mission!

We've gotta go south, to the Golden Settlement! Off we go!

This is the commercial area, the best area of them all!

There's a Medal Shop, a Chef…

And Madame Butterfly's store! No other store can compare!

Heheh. And there's a little something else. But I can't tell you what it is!

Heheh. And there's THAT place for even more business!

Heheh. Check THIS out!

2 - 4 - 0 – 5!

WHAT!?

Shut it!

Hey! Let me in! It's me, Vi! Ask Shades about me or something!

Ha! So you do know me! Open up now! Or I'll tell everyone about this place! Seriously, I'll RUIN you!

E-Eep!

Hmph...I guess we'll have to find the new code somewhere.

Maybe someone we help out comes here too!

Don't worry, you have me here, don't you?

This is Amber, an Ant working for the Item Storage Association!

You don't get to complain, you can shoot ice!

It's Madame Butterfly! She's got the best prices in the whole kingdom!

Oh, sorry. I always get excited when I come here.

Everything's so cheap, and Madame Butterfly's so pretty!

I bet she's super rich, too…

Pfft. Who boasts about beating up Seedlings? A little kid could do it!

Geez, Mun's still in the same spot as always.

Yeah, that can't be a good look!

I wonder what they'll build here.

Details. A house is just what we need!

Medals ARE awesome! Wish they were cheaper, though…

Merab's the owner of the Medal shop! He traveled everywhere for his collection!

Travel, treasure, and power! Now that's the life!

But then you have to pay a reward!

Fair.

Uh, no. We really shouldn't.

This Beetle's always at Fry's. He eats pretty much anything…

Yeah. You're both weirdos, alright.

Uh. Well... Fry isn't complaining, so I guess we can just leave him here.

This is Fry, the fly!

Most chefs live in the royal castle, but he chose to work here.

Though, I don't get it. He could make more profit at the castle.

What matters is I'm really hungry. Let's get him to cook for us!

What's with you and shrooms? Aphid Omelette all the way!

You two are getting all sappy. Sounds like nap time!

Hey, Utter! Got any quests for me?

Ugh, those are almost never worth it.

Well... Here's hoping for good rewards!

I'm as outstanding as it gets!

So what? If someone says you can't do something…

You prove them wrong! And they'll beg for forgiveness!

If you enjoy it...just play! Just do what you can! Who needs that dumb theater!?

I was just being honest! You don't have to make such a big deal about it!

Yeah, whatever...It's all up to her now, you know?

Samira's been doing good.

Geez, it's not just that. Other bugs come to hear her play too!

Heya. We've come to write a review!

For free? I won't complain, but…

Hmmm...

I slept pretty well. The Honey Drop you left was great!

You're great! I can't wait to come again!

Hmm, isn't it weird? I heard the Queen led everyone here.

How come she didn't make a statue of herself?

Huh. So this whole town was built thanks to a clumsy ant?

Meh. When I rule the world, every street will have my cute face in it!

Hee hee hee!

Alright! Another good deed, another reward!

A bit too fancy. It's straight out of the Bee Kingdom. Yuck.

It's just too pretentious! Use money to eat good food, or go on a trip!

I hate when bugs use money just to look important!

What's that "after all" supposed to mean?

What's he doing here anyway?

Gold? Some legendary berry?

Eh. It's alright, I guess.

Oi, Kabbu!

...Kabbu, if you spend all the berries we made in Snakemouth here, I'll never forgive you.

Fine. It's your own money.

Well? Are you happy now?

You've been missing out!

They're good, alright? And sometimes they do reruns at this theater!

No way! Yellow Ranger is the best!

As much as I want to keep this going, we should probably just go.

Oh, I know this guy. It's M.M.!

Nah, but no one knows who he really is!

No one has seen him without his mask!

That part is a mask too!

No! You're staying right here with us!

Huh. They turned a park into housing?

Ants can grow hair!?

It makes every mask more valuable, too!

What?

I didn't ask him to!

I'm leaving. Bye.

He's gotta pick who to charm better!

Yup!

No probs. I'm the queen of multi-hit super smackdowns!

You okay there?

I agree with this guy, totally. Water sucks!

A bank, huh…

I don't know. I don't trust anyone else with my berries. What if they run away after we give them a bunch?

I don't know... I like my berries close to myself!

Free money's even shadier!

This better pay itself off later...

Hmph. What if after we put in a huge deposit they just steal our money and run to a hot spring or something!?

Well, yeah. Saving up's really important!

That sounds like...w-what's the reward!?

Alright! I'm gonna get way better return on investments!

...Look, what matters is we're getting rich! Heheheh.

Perfect for some music!

Huh? You're not an Ant though, right? How'd you take it out?

Bleh, I hate being an errand Bee…

Eek!

Now you get to deliver our reward!

Nice! Hard, cold berries!

Seriously!?

This is like, super inefficient! We're charging double!

That's not the point!

But why? Aren't they like, bad?

Yikes, you can't even sell those books…

Uh...So it's like good bad?

Yikes…

Uh, hope you enjoyed them…

He's gotta relax more, too!

I won't! ...As long as he doesn't cause ME trouble.

Didn't he go off to the Golden Hills?

A-Already!?

S-She's scaring me. Let's get out of here!

S-she gets a bit scary. I don't blame HIM!

Is this the soldier that was guarding the Snakemouth Gate?

...There's numbers on the armor.

Don't sweat it! If it pays we'll do it!

Do you wanna pay us now, or is your friend gonna?

Cool.

What is it!? A super rare Medal!?

What matters is the reward, Kabbu. The important part!

Woah. I'd never actually seen the pier up close before!

Mhm. You can kinda see it from all the way up in the Hive…

I mean, kinda... But after Snakemouth, I ain't too fond of the water.

It's to drive boats around in the water!

Well, you DO have to study a lot to drive a boat…

Yay...learning...

He really is everywhere!

It's, uh, saltier?

These ants are nuts! Who even wants to go into the water!?

Nuh-uh! I wanna stay dry!

No way! His horn would slice through it!

Oops...

Dunno... It's just the sea.

What about me?

Oi, just say I look good!

Grr…

How can they charge so many berries for a boat ride? It's insane!

You don't get tired on a boat. And it's way less tiring than flying to an island!

I don't care! It's too many berries!

Uh, what?

We're missing a bunch of rewards! How do we fix it!?

Uh, can't you do it for free?

Neat! Is there a MAX REWARD!?

Oh yeah. Where did he go anyways?

Hey, isn't this the Ant we met at the gate near the association?

She looks so bored. I guess nothing really happens here.

Uh huh. I think he calls it a hut though.

Yeah, whoever that is.

Before he takes a nap.

Of course we are!

Yup! As expected from me!

A bit too savoury for me…

This place ain't too shabby.

Did the Queen really have to keep ALL of them out?

Huh... There's nothing here! Just a rock!

I've seen a few like this in the Hive. They're really cool!

Woah! Is that a Roach!?

Come on, Leif! You've gotta translate!

Prizes!? Glory!? Aw yeah!

Bleh. It's busted.

Alright! It's prize, glory, and uh... Holo-trainwhatever time!

What's got you thinking, Leif?

I wonder why it's up now, though...

Woah, that sounds super fun!

It's Gen and Eri!

It wasn't much!

They're way too huge. It's gonna take ages!

Bleh... Whatever gets us outta there faster.

Uh huh. It's a really big wall, too.

Stop wasting time! Get a move on!

Seriously? I don't think I'd look good with one, though...

Who do you think you are!?

We didn't need your help! ...But thanks! Let's go!

So uh, who's this Professor Neolith guy?

Oh! Nice to meet you!

(...Archaelogy?)

Phew...

Let's play some of the games later, Neolith!

It's not like anyone comes here often, you know? It does the job.

Just look up! That's the Bee Kingdom's tree!

Uh huh. And for heavier stuff, they wind up cranks to move around.

Eh, it's nothing special.

Hmph.

Leave it to me! Beemerang Express is go! For a small fee!

...Of 0 berries!

Oh, we could cover his face with honey!

No problem for me. I can just fly over em!

I apologized for Snakemouth already! I'm not going to abandon you!

The settlement's entrance is so pretty! I just love the sunflowers!

Bleh. It's all the same to me. Why is everybody else so tall!?

You wanna fight, Leif!?

Woah, that's a huge Tangy Berry!

Let the little dude do his job, Kabbu!

It was cute at the start, but now I'm kinda worried…

That little guy really does look like a Tangy Berry.

Heheh. You don't see Kabbu get mad a lot!

I've heard of that place too! Err, in fairy tales?

I know, right? It's such a good place to visit!

You heard her! Relaxing is the mission!

That goes double for you, Leif. Let's check this place out!

And it's worked out pretty good for them!

Isn't that just because of Celia? She's probably keeping an eye on him.

Eh, they weren't that tough. We woulda been fine!

That sucks, having to work on the festival…

Ugh. This guy.

He won't buy our stuff! It's beyond rude!

Whatever. I'll go sell to the caravan. They know a good deal when they see it!

Yup. Anyways, let's go.

But his attitude sucks!

Eh. You know how it is. If you're really good, you can act however you want!

Hey, guys…

How do you think she walks? That looks heavy…

Hey, guys…

Doesn't she kind of look like Shades?

Heheh. I'll have to bother Shades about it later!

Samira's come to the festival too!

Let's go have fun somewhere else.

Annoying, arrogant, smug... She's everything I hate about the Bee Kingdom!

I'm an exception. End of story!

She's the worst. I wouldn't take her money at all.

Hey, it's that merchant that hangs around town!

Wow... It's Mothiva! She is super popular!

She's explorer by day, performer by night!

S-Shh! He will hear us!

What's up?

Who knows, maybe she quit or something...

It makes me wonder how she's not bored...

Huh, I didn't know ladybugs could have orange wings.

It better be.

Well, don't let us stop you from saying hi or anything.

Just don't take TOO long!

Yeah! It's the best thing about Sunset Inn! Totally worth the price.

I think it's a bit creepy. It doesn't have a face or anything…

I bet you went into the palace library to read all about this place, didn't you?

So bugs do live here! I was wondering where they stayed.

All moths look so different from each other…

You could start a fad!

She's so...beeish.

Bees don't really make hats, though. Maybe the glasses.

It's the farms! It's so cool to see everything first hand!

I'm not. But I sure like food... They work hard to make it easy for us!

What!? Can't I ever be grateful for anything!?

Oh, I forgot to ask Neo for a reward!

I...I was kidding! Just kidding, okay!?

They're really cute, aren't they!? Shame we can't own one.

No.

Standing around all day, giving orders? Maybe I should be a manager!

It must be rough picking up berries all day…

This went from worst job to best job pretty quick...If you're an ant, at least.

Wow. That's a super death glare she gave ya, Leif.

Hmm…

Didn't you hear? Feast and laugh! Now THAT's a way to show respect!

Uh, right. The mission. Yup. I'm on it!

I think it had to do with them stealing a bunch of stuff. I'm not too sure, though.

Hey, it's that merchant that hangs around town!

It's so impractical! My fluff is way better!

I'll never be jealous of any other bee.

You know...I was about her age when I came to my first festival.

Everything was so much cooler than the boring Bee Kingdom! It really made me want to see the world!

Let's just enjoy the festival, okay?

Nah. It's a firefly! Sis told me some bugs in other regions glow in the dark and stuff.

We should say hi. They look really strong!

That's us!

Nice.

They're living the dream!

What's up, Kabbu?

He did it!

Everyone wants her autograph!

He doesn't look like he can eat much…

Heheh, really? We did super well, didn't we?

You got a problem, wasp?

Grrr! You better beat him, Leif! We'll show him embarassing!

He better watch out. Our team's gonna take that spot!

Hey, Zasp.

Fat chance.

Oh, thank you kindly for your concern. So glad to surpass your expectations.

You wish.

Grrr! You better beat him, Leif!

But his attitude sucks!

Eh. You know how it is. If you're really good, you can act however you want!

I've heard of that place too! Err, in fairy tales?

Woah, that's a huge Tangy Berry!

Hey, everybody needs a holiday!

Wonder what game they're playing.

Ugh. It's her.

Grr!!!

She? Most bees are like that. They're so stuck up!

...A little. We just don't get along. They tried to stop me from exploring because it was "dangerous".

They're annoying, okay? Being an explorer is way better! Who wants to be stuck in the Hive forever!?

You don't have to say it like that, but I guess.

Heheh. You're too corny, Kabbu.

Yeah...thanks, Kabbu.

And have tonsa fun!

...

Yeah, at least there's Chubee.

That’s because the festival is awesome!

Woah, that bee is really cool!

N-No way! Although I guess that explains it…

Flattery will get you everywhere!

I mean, she's pretty old. I feel like I've seen her somewhere before, too…

Those berry baskets look so heavy…

Yeah. Sometimes I forget you're pretty strong!

He looks so magical!

Hey, Leif. Maybe you need a robe too!

You're just full of wild stories you haven't told us, huh.

Every year there's a new host, right?

I hope they're getting paid, at least!

Alright! Time for some Beemerang action!

They didn't know who they were messing with!

Mhm. I never knew a mission could be so fun!

Huh? What's your deal?

...I uh, I bought it?

I didn't steal anything, okay? I bought it in the Ant Kingdom!

This is what I get for buying from Shades… Fine. Upgrades sound cool, anyways!

Shush, Leif. That's awesome!

I DIDN'T steal the Beemerang!

...She IS pretty old, though.

She upgraded the Beemerang, so we do owe her a bit... And I pay all my debts!

I hate to admit it...but Hawk looks really cool!

Ugh. Can't you take a compliment like a normal bug!?

Hey!

No problem. Got anything for us?

Uh, yup. Nothing like us! In no way at all!

Uh... What?

Yeah. I'm short, so what? What do you want!?

What?

...! ...? U-Um…

(O-Oh!)

Uh, Yeah! That's me! The greatest one and only bee explorer!

So you don't think exploring's silly? I'm not too good at art or anything…

That's awesome!

We won't lose either! Do your best, Chubee!

Heheh. I'm too busy being happy to get upset! I just hope we keep bumping into her!

That'd be nice. It's a promise!

You should just go say hi or something!

(Just let him be a weirdo sometimes...)

Well, I'm not joining! I can eat, just not fast…

Already!?

Good luck!

You too!

BOOOO!!!

Um, Chubee's my friend, right? Maybe we can trade with her!

Say, Chubee... About that offering.

We're on, um, a mission! And we really need both offerings.

Do you think you could trade with us?

We're on it! Berry Juice coming up super quick!

Thanks Chubee! You really helped us out!

You've got one heck of a stomach!

Heheheh.

Geez, Kabbu. You should have some fun too!

Woah, thanks Chubee!

Mwahaha!

Let's go get that treasure!

No way, you haven't had any fun! You're going!

Alright! Let's do it!

Go have fun, Kabbu!

Now that's my style of ceremony!

Woah! It opened all by itself!

W-Well, whatever! We did it! That artifact will be ours in no time!

No worries. We beat Snakemouth, right?

There's always next year, right?

How much Berry Juice did they drink to fall asleep so hard!?

(At least he's not flirting...)

Heya. We saw your post!

I'm not a "cutie Bee".

Look. Just pay up.

Ugh. I don't even want this anymore.

You bet. Let's get outta here!

In your dreams!

Let's get outta here!

...I feel weird.

We won't let it stop us, though!

Eeep! That plant can talk!

We're here for the artifact! Fame and riches!

Impure!?

I mean, I wasn't gonna lie or anything!

Whatever! You heard it. Treasure's at the top, so let's get climbing!

It's Mothiva! From the festival concert! Wow!

Heheh. Thanks!

WHAT!? No way!? We put in all the effort!

That's not our problem! I ain't giving up that reward!

Oi, Kabbu!

Have it your way! You're gonna get smacked down!

That's what you get for trying to hijack our mission!

I mean, I almost can't blame her. Getting an artifact really bumps you up in the ranks!

Not like I was gonna let them take it from us, though!

Ugh, I'm getting Snakemouth flashbacks…

I need to make sure to stay dry!

Nah, it's fine. I see a lot of cranks!

I just have to be smart with the Beemerang!

It's the Beemerang!

Mhm! The professor's upgrades actually helped out a ton!

Uh...report? Right…

So the green ones go down, and the brown ones up?

Time for some smacking!

Huh?

Yeah, but what's that got to do with my smackdown?

Yeah, cool. Whatever...

I really want to smack something, though.

Leif?

We're probably getting close to the artifact, then?

Look, stop acting tough! It'll be bad if you trip and stuff!

I hope Leif is feeling okay…

Leif, you're speaking weird again…

Phew. It'd be bad if you couldn't be near the artifacts at all!

So, the artifact is close isn't it?

You sure? I mean, it's just flowers all around us.

Only one way to find out! Start cutting, Kabbu!

W-whoa!

I-It was just a joke, okay? We just need the artifact!

W-What? How did you…

What's your deal!? Is nagging people a Goddess' job?

...

Heheh! Well said! It's artifact time!

T-That's way bigger than the spider!

R-Right!

And hand over the artifact!

What, it just vanishes?

Yup! Awesome!

If anyone's fine on the team, it's Kabbu!

Anyways, that just leaves…

Rude.

Mission super complete!

Maybe we should bring the Queen to visit!

Aww...

Hey, Leif? You're feeling okay?

Ugh. You're fine alright.

Phew. It'd be bad if you couldn't be near the artifacts at all!

Huh. So it's not only by winning offerings?

That's right!

Heheh! We're doing great!

Like a Kabbu kingdom, huh.

Yup! We're ready for that reward!

Heheh. Thanks again! The Vi Bank keeps filling!

What? But that's just a bunch of blue lines!

R-Really?

It'll shut down the factory? B-But...

...

Uh. Yeah. Definitely.

Uh huh…

Look, I don't wanna talk about it right now. Okay?

What's up?

Oh. Oh! That's right! Your team can be around in spirit!

No problem! We'll just find them as we go along!

Uh, right... Yeah. Let's go.

Muse?

Then she's got to be your super mega granddaughter!

It can't be that bad…

Uh, yeah! And when you're ready, we can come back and meet them!

Err, with how she's faring, maybe she should go back to the Hive...

He's still at it!

It's always after we've done things the hard way!

...

Alright! Smackdown time!

Alrighty. This was totally worth it!

Heheh... Well, let's get going, yeah? Unto the next mission!

Leif's upset!

What're you gushing all over her for!? I'm way cooler!

It's better this way, right?

There's no point to faith if you know for sure!

Heheheh!

Woah. S-so you can see the future?

So you CAN hate stuff, Kabbu!

Yeah! We can get lots of treasure!

(Phew...)

Hehe. Chubee's always traveling and looking for good stuff, huh.

Yup! We got some good treasure too!

You got it!

Woah, Chubee's an actress!?

Hey, Chubee!

Let's do it!

And we're actually getting paid. Let's do this!

Yeah! Uh, give her back!

Alright, let's kick their butt!

We will get her back! After them!

Ugh, I bet she's getting treated real nice.

Yeah! Or face my beemerang! I mean, blade!

It's our lucky day!

Hey! Give the princess back!

Hey, I can still fight!

It was super easy. Now, for payment…

Nyehehehe. Thanks, Chubee.

C-Chubee…

Heheh. You tell her. What's the job? Pays well?

Really? How can someone hide in a straight hallway?

Mhm!

Uhh... All I see is a wall?

A-Are you sure? He could really hurt you!

W-WOAH...!

Drop it, Leif.

So he just leaves scot free!?

Well. Case closed, I guess. Reward time?

Alright, alright. No rush~!

Really!?

Woah, really!? Who cares, Leif? This is awesome!

Maybe. It's a long story. It's this place in the Commercial Area…

Look, whatever. This is awesome! You'll see.

A job's a job! I'm not a charity.

Besides, I can't wait to show you two that place!

All's well that ends well. Let's go meet up at the plaza!

Here it is! The secret place for those who live dangerously!

Surprised, huh?

Shush. I'm not going to do anything.

Ugh, can we not deal with Reed? I'm allergic to bouncers.

I didn't do anything! I just forgot the code!

Quite a lot. I've seen some come now and then.

That's classified information, Kabbu. You better drop it before they hear us.

Come now, Kabbu. Everyone needs a bit of danger in their lives!

Besides, you're here too now, so don't think you're always sparkly clean.

The bar's pretty full... Bea must be working really hard today.

Uh huh. Dunno where she's from, though.

Heheheh. Sounds right to me!

Didn't know you could play cards by yourself...

Nope.

Um, what?

We aren't gonna have to buy some, are we?

Noooo!

We get anything for winning?

Wait, you can make money playing card games?

Heheh. Let's go look for them! You've gotta win that prize!

Well, yeah. You new here?

Uh...sure. We'll check it out later or something.

No way.

Sometimes I see this Beetle at Fry's. He eats pretty much anything…

Yeah. You're both weirdos, alright.

SHADES! You sold me stolen stuff!

Do you know how much trouble I almost got in!?

Grrr!

Not anymore.

...It's for the mission, right?

Shades' business is booming as always.

Shh. Keep it up and they'll throw you out!

Hi, Doppel.

A-Ahahaha, anyways... Um, this is Doppel! He runs the bar.

And a big bunch'a berries!

As if!

Agreed! Let's go get rich!

Er...carefully!

Running a bar sounds super fun!

Yup! All the baddies are down!

Neat! Thanks, Doppel!

Huh. This guy's new.

What?! Can't you lower that a bit?

Maybe he has like, a secret underground garden full of them!

Well, I can't say no to treasure! Thanks for the tip!

H-He's wearing Numbnails!

I know, right?

Really? We didn't see anything on the way here…

Woah, this place is super messy!

We should just cut 'em all down!

It's fine! Let's load up on items and look around!

Phew...I'm gonna think twice next time Kabbu feels danger...

Carmina did call him old…

Come on, Leif! Just try again!

Got any good hints?

Discount!

That could mean anything!

About time!

An offering? Like a LOT of berries?

Seriously?

So uh... You think she'll give us something for it?

Uh…

Nice! So we just have to deliver it to her, right?

Hiya!

A-Awesome!

That should've been the regul- Ow!

The heat never gets any less awful…

Heheh. Same to you.

They just wanted money though, right?

Was it always here? Did ya get to see it way back?

Hawk seems uh...stumped.

Yup! All us!

Weird place to put a statue, right?

Hey! At least we found something we can use here!

No way!

It's that big wall again!

On your own time. There's stuff to do!

Ya reckon they had Beemerangs too?

There's no cooler weapon!

This takes the prize for most boring place we've gone to.

That's us!

Nice.

What, this brick?

You think it's just gonna come out of the sand?

Aww...

They're living the dream!

How can they just stay here all day?

No clue...It's got some scribbles, though.

Woah! That's one BIG quicksand pit!

Good old, reliable Kabbu!

Hiya!

Bandits!

Let's kick their butt!

You're welcome.

...Those wasps are showing up more, huh?

Woah! I didn't even need to ask this time!

Two guards ain't gonna do anything against a bunch of 'em!

So thirsty... I wanna drink the cactus water... I'm gonna jump in!

We should drop by the Inn and sleep in a nice bed!

I only see one guard, though.

The border guard's MASSIVE.

Eep! L-let's go, Kabbu!

Who'd even wanna visit the Wasp Kingdom?

It's all old and busted. Didn't do a very good job, eh?

That means we've been neighbors all along!

We just keep going straight. There's a huge elevator there!

No one's fallen off yet, so it's probably safe! Let's go get this over with already!

Really? I usually just zoom past the town unless I need the inn.

Seriously!?

...I know that already.

Poor Dran...he's had it rough lately with all these bandits.

...

Really though...it's not so bad to have someone else take care of you, right?

Nope. I don't wanna talk to her!

Great...she's here too.

Don't know, don't care.

Yeah. Can't believe you're so insensitive!

Works for us, though. Completing these gives super good stuff!

That's cute and all, but she better not forget her job!

No rush, Leif. You two can hang out!

I dunno why bugs stay here. It's all sandy and stuff.

Can't they just do their traditions somewhere nicer?

We're not getting any pets!

Whatever. Talk to the merchant. But I ain't helping you buy it!

Seriously!? This sounds like a huge scam!

Well...if the first try's free, I can't say no!

It's super useful to rest anywhere! If I was him, I'd charge WAY more!

Uh, just remember we don't own it or anything, okay?

That's super lazy, Leif. It's just the sound it makes! It's like a river named Pshh!

HEY!

Getting to the mayor's house is super weird, isn't it?

Look, all I'm saying is he could've paid for some stairs.

(Not like he's missing much...)

Oh. We should open our own clothing line! With squares instead of triangles!

Heheh. You don't get to talk about being old!

O-Oh. Sorry, I…

Ah...We should probably shut up.

Eep!

There's so many shops, and they all sell unique items!

A bee chef out of the Hive, huh...

A...A bomb?

Wait! An ABOMIHONEY!? That plus a bomb...Are you SURE!?

I mean, you're right, but…

Okay, geez! We'll bring it! I've got a bad feeling, though…

Abomihoney is super dangerous! Doesn't matter how good you bake it!

Woah...It's super yummy!

Heheh. You're gonna be famous in no time!

Leif?

Nothing some shaking can't fix!

So is this Ms. Amber, or another ant?

So is she Amber or not!?

It was no problem! Now, for a rew-

Defiant Root's the best place to restock, you know? They get lots of stuff for cheap!

Yep! In business, knowing's half the battle!

Huh. I think I saw him when I left the Hive, but he looked a lot happier.

Uh, is she special? She makes Medals, right?

I don't get what's the big deal with it.

Uh…

Bleh. Knowing these merchants it's gonna cost us a wing…

What!?

Just think of the 100 berries, Leif!

Hey Kabbu, is this your dad?

Eh... Maybe all beetles just look the same.

Hey!

Shady mosquitos are everywhere, huh.

Geez, I was just saying...

Err, where...no, WHEN did you hear that?

No way! Do it with your own berries!

We did it! The prize is just within reach!

Here we are. The elevator to the Bee Kingdom. Woo.

Uh...so he's sad, basically?

Kabbu?

Isn't it just a rock with holes in it...?

Hiya! Still looking?

Uh huh. Get us up?

Drop it. Seriously. I don't want to talk about it!

Hahahaha... That's...not really going to happen, ya know?

Just uh, a little bit.

He's right.

The Hive didn't do anything. I did.

My sister kept teasing me, okay? Saying exploring's a job for other bugs.

That it was too dangerous, and that I couldn't do it!

So I got really mad and said a lot of mean stuff to her…and ran off.

Told my boss to shove it. Told the Queen she had no idea what I'm capable of!

Kinda. They had it coming, though.

No way!

Even if I was super mean, they still teased me all the time! I'm not gonna say sorry!

She can say sorry first! I'm not gonna lose after making a big scene!

Look. The mission's most important, okay? I don't wanna talk about this anymore.

Mhm. Most bugs just see the main area though. Most of it's just honey and housing.

That honey's for bees!

This is the scan corridor. So they know we're clean or whatever.

Yup…

"Huh"? You saying we're not clean or something?

Uh, not really...

W-What?

You sure you wanna trust her, Leif?

So that wasn't a super bad lie?

Woah!

I'm starting to get worried…

Welp... We're going to be late to the meeting, aren't we?

Great... A walk around the Hive.

Maybe she can open you up Kabbu, to find out why you're so nice!

It's like uh...the thinking version of exploring!

Woah! That medal looks cool!

Those two are always fighting...if they're so smart, they should act more grown up!

Yup. And it's super duper off limits!

It's just how stuff is. Sorry!

Don't be such a glutton, Leif.

Noooope.

Noooope.

Look, there's the pier!

Uh...you think?

They should become an exploration team already!

You mean glasses?

Really cool huh? They started being sold a while ago.

Oh? Uh...sorry. Just thinking.

Y-Yeah... Glad you like it. You ready to meet up?

Hmph.

What? If it's about earlier, drop it. I don't want to talk about it.

Seriously? THAT'S what you wanted to tell me!?

...But what if she doesn't forgive me? I was really mean…

...…

F-Fine. I'll try.

Shut up!

We're on a mission now, but…

W-When we have time, I'll try and apologize. Okay? Are you happy now!?

I'll do it! I don't need to promise it like some kid!

Sigh...I feel all tired now.

Let's go find the other explorers, okay?

Everyone should be at the throne room now so... Let's go, okay?

...Thanks.

Still feels weird to be home…

Well...I did miss the honey fountain.

Artia really needs to add some color sometimes.

You're really overthinking this...

Bumblebees are pretty cute. Not cuter than me, though!

It's them!

Ugh! How can she be so popular while being such a jerk!

We didn't do anything! And you're the jerk!

Look, just go to the darn meeting point. We can settle this later.

What a jerk! I really really don't get how no one sees it!

You've got some nerve walking into the Hive!

Who's gonna respect someone so petty! Bet they wouldn't if they knew the truth!

Yeah, yeah. Just go.

Okay, that should be everyone. Let's go to the meeting!

That scarf is so pretty!

Wait, what? Isn't it only those red balls?

Ugh, that sucks... No way I'm going to buy it.

Nuh uh! She ain't getting one berry from me!

What's up?

Bugs can do whatever they want. If they wanna wear a big hat they can do it!

Geez, it's not like you cut the scarf off of her. Stop apologizing!

Y-Yeah, thanks...

Even I can't get mad at Vilma…

How are you two not fatter!?

Not in the mood.

You suck at whispering!!!

Shut up, or we'll take even longer!

It's nowhere someone like you should be in!

!?

Uh, yeah. It's nice to be back…

U-Um…

T-Thank you, Queen.

Ac-squeeze?

Um, thanks. We'll go.

Q-Queen?

I...I haven't changed at all. I'm the same Vi!

...

...Yeah. I will. You can count on me!

...I was mad at everyone, okay?

Fine. I'm sorry, okay!? And I'll, uh...I'll fix stuff. Slowly. Can we just do the mission?

That's what a bunch of honey and flowers will do to any place, really.

Eh...I'm sure I can get you both back in.

...Let's go!

Just a bee thing, really.

Not really... She's the Queen before anything else.

Dunno... Everyone's her daughter to her. Does it make anyone special then?

You two are overthinking this! Let's get going already!

Look. If you fall, I'll catch you, okay? Just get moving!

Ugh.

Wait!

Oi! Calm down!

Look. Everything in the Factory's super expensive! And they don't let you leave mid-tour!

Yup! Let's save some berries!

It's seriously nothing that cool…

Alright, alright. Geez... It'll be fun, I guess.

Doc! What's going on?!

What!?

You heard that, Mothiva? Let's-

Wait, where is she? Where's Zasp?

I bet they have something to do with this...!

Cuz we didn't have enough to do... Let's go, team!

That's what I get for doing the Queen a favor…

Looks like a bunch of junk. Is this really going to make a new core?

THEY should be relieved we decided to come along!

Meh. If you say so...

Uh oh... The factory's super dangerous! It's full of sentry bots!

Poor Tuvi…

Yeah, yeah. Let's talk to her.

Err, management doesn't have quotas during emergencies…

I dunno. She seems fine to me... Does she even know there's a lockdown going on?

Yikes... Why'd you have to say that, Kabbu? Now we HAVE to buy things.

I mean, it's not like we walked in here with our pockets empty.

Eh. It's better if we get going.

I'm surprised she didn't quit...

I wonder if we could get paid to make Kabbu carry bags...

Bleh, the store prices are so high!

Workers don't really leave the factory until their shift's over. Sometimes its days long…

Pays super well, though! And then they go on a huge holiday!

No way! It's so boring! Once was enough for a lifetime!

I wanted to fall asleep every second of it! I'd rather be poor!

Fat chance.

Mhm.

I sure hope so. Would make our life way easier.

It's not like that. This is the honored employee portrait!

Bees that work really hard get to be put up there for a few days.

Yup. It's inside the Hive though, so you two can't see em.

No way, it'd be me!

We found the Overseer, so...can we leave?

Yeah. Seriously bums me out...

That's the overseer!

Bleh. Taking her posting is like working for her again…

Great idea!

This might pay well, so…

You better have a reward ready! Let's move, team!

In your dreams!

Exploring's right where I belong.

Woah! This one's really rare!

Thanks, chief!

I'll live. Exploring's way more fun!

Alrighty. We're officially in the worker zone! We can just catch the tram and…

Argh! Everything's going wrong!

Whew, good thing I can fly...

No way. What if I need to cut or freeze something?

You did the weird thing again!

No flying needed!

I know!

Heh. It only gets better as you go.

It's made for bees. We just fly around.

Not if there's another way! Now shield up!

This is the Connecting Room! But...the pump seems to be broken. Uh oh.

The Honey levels are a bit weird. It's pooling up.

...If it keeps up, honey's gonna pile up in the basement! Abomihoneys can come out!

It's dangerous, okay? Be careful!

Heheh. Malbee was super impressed! Honey won't pool up anymore, too.

We may have to start charging 'em…

This place is too dangerous, you shouldn't split up!

Right. Kidding.

They're still here, right? Let's just ask for help!

There's nothing here! Just get out!

The training obstacle course!

They make the platforms fly around everywhere, and whoever grabs more honey off the trams wins!

Hmm... So the gate closes when the geyser rises.

M-Malbee? We've gotta help!

Malbee! Hang in there!

Ugh. I don't even get a thank you?

This is Malbee, the maintenance chief.

Anything is better than here! Bet you never saw it coming either!

HEY!

You're...welcome?

Can you fix it now?

Is it done?

Oh, you're gonna like this Kabbu.

Thanks, Malbee. We're gonna go do our mission and stuff.

Never! Let's go, team!

I dunno. It just looks weird and ugly to me.

Right... See you later!

Yup...I hate having a boss. It sucks! Being an explorer is way better!

At least it doesn't really feel like it…

This connects the fun part of the factory, with the boring storage part! Down we go!

You never know, right? Maybe someday we'll have to feed all of Bugaria!

Heheh. You'll cheer up when you see this Beemerang trick!

There's gotta be something, somewhere!

...Yes!

Eep! I wish it'd been empty after all!

...W-Woah! Are those...

What's HER problem?

And why shouldn't we?

Huh.

Mothiva sure can run when she's mad.

They're fine! Chill out!

The Overseer's GOT to be in here, I can feel it!

That's not what I meant!

Oi! We're here to help!

Mhm. Team Snakemouth to the rescue!

We can still leave you here, you know?

Heheheh.

Stuff will go back to normal when the lockdown ends, right?

Heheheh.

A job well done!

Yup. Anywhere, anytime. Time to finish this job!

The storage's not really part of the tour.

This is the core room.

...Yeah.

Phew...I don't want to be here if it's going to blow up!

Yeah! We ain't leaving without the artifact!

Shut it! They're coming! Just do your job!

Shut it, Mothiva.

No kidding... Feels like we've been here forever!

Hey!

Just ambush us later for it. See how well it goes for you!

Sure thing, doc.

You've got a real weird idea of fun.

We know, Kabbu.

Yep. But then the core got built a few moons after the roaches disappeared.

Mhm…

Kinda. Malbee and the Overseer never really approved of me... But they changed their mind!

So, I dunno. Maybe I CAN fix stuff with my sister!

Her name's Jaune. She's a painter in the Hive! We got into a really bad fight…

...Thanks. I'll think about it. I'll drop by when I feel it's right!

It was no problem!

N-no. Seriously, it's super fine!

Y-yeah. I'm uh, working on it. Gotta go!

It's her.

Okay. I can do this. Huff...here I go!

...What's up? Can I help you?

Uh, that sucks. C-Can we help?

150?!

We...will...think...about it.

(Let's just go…)

It was nice helping you.

Really?

Yeah! See you around!

...She gave us a really good deal, huh.

And I've only said bad stuff about her…

...Yeah. I'll watch the stuff I say a bit more now...

Can't you just tell us...?

I don't get how that works…

I liked her more when she was quiet.

Really? That's awesome!

Nah-

Oi!

Woohoo!

T-Their move? Are they going to invade or something?

Err...who?

You bet! And we'll be the ones to bring it!

NO!

Aw. Boohoo.

There's some spikes in the desert, right? If we could cross 'em, we could search a bunch more places!

C-Can we go?

I just...don't wanna be here... Sigh.

...

...Jaune.

T-That's uh, really cool. My team and I had this cool mission at the factory.

You're still gonna treat me like a kid!?

I came to say sorry, but you're making it really hard!

S-Seriously? You're kicking me out!? I'm saying sorry!

FINE! YOU'RE DUMB ANYWAYS! I was even gonna say your art got better!

WE'RE LEAVING.

NOW!

GRRR! What the heck! That's no way to treat family!

I told her she drew like a weevil.

Well, she called me stuff too! Weak, short, coward…

I couldn't talk about exploring without her talking down to me!

Whatever.

Y-Yeah?

That's pretty hard to get. It's out of season or something.

Y-You're right! She'd be too happy to get mad!

Maybe then we can have an actual conversation. Hmph.

I dunno either, but uh... it's made in the Golden Settlement, right?

We could just take the tunnel and check it out when we're free.

Alright. Let's get a move on!

Let's go. No point coming back until we've got the paint...

Oh yeah. Is paint made that way too?

It's, um, a gift! For Jaune!

N-Name the price!

Yeah!

Got it! Just uh, please don't use the paint yet! We'll be back!

He's wearing a scarf, right? Doesn't seem like he minds.

It's really cool. Where did ya get it?

You wouldn't, uh, sell it or anything right?

Yeah! We live there and all!

I can't imagine Kabbu babysitting!

...…

W-What if we got you a cooler toy!?

Ugh. That's where the boat at the ferry takes you to, right?

It's like one bajillion berries.

Welp... Let's find out how to get there without going broke.

But the Wasps sunk it…

Welp... We'll just have to wait till a way to get there shows up.

We probably can get there using the submarine! Let's go!

Hey! This must be the place!

Shut it, Kabbu. It's perfect! How much is it?

Four... hundred...

...…

I'll take it.

Here. 400 berries. Just take them before I regret it!

It's my savings.

I wanna be rich, okay? So I can travel, eat well, buy cool stuff…

So no one can say I can't do something!

But it takes a really long time…

Jaune's dumb. She doesn't get me at all!

But I've known her all my life, so...I want to fix things.

We're an awesome team! So I'll raise the berries again.

Let's get back to Ann so we can do all the trades!

Pretty cool, right? You wanna trade?

It's the cutest, right?

Let's go get that paint! Heheheh.

Time for your end of the deal!

Whose side are you on!?

...Me too.

Can you two wait here?

It's ok. I think I gotta do it myself. Just wait a bit!

Some super premium, Golden Settlement red paint!

Nope. Just gonna leave it here.

I'm sorry, Jaune. I hope your painting comes out good.

I'll get going now...

Y-Yeah?

I woulda done it faster if you'd been nice and asked!

I AM sorry I said you draw like a weevil. And all the other stuff.

You weren't believing me, so I had to go EVERYWHERE for the darn paint!

B-But if I can say something, you were mean to me too!

I had dreams and you stomped over them!

I'm doing great! I've gone to many places and beat up huge monsters!

If...if you had any faith in me I could've done it sooner!

Only if you forgive me back!

Jaune!

I don't wanna be a jerk, but I didn't miss the Hive at all.

...I did miss you just a little bit.

Oh, uh. Okay. I'll go tell them!

Yup. Let's go back in whenever!

What's the thing you were finishing? The Queen's present?

Stop hyping it up! I wanna see it!

Jaune...

You're really the best artist in the Hive!

Never!

Heheheh. It was worth every berry!

So...yeah. Jaune's my sis.

Well, yeah. But I grew up with her! So we're special sisters!

Sorry guys. If it sinks I'm flying away!

Nooo!

I thought you were the one with like, dignity and stuff, Kabbu.

...Us! We'd get rich!

That's a lot of Mothiva dolls. Ew.

Huh. Wonder if this one's real, too...

I want a super spicy one! To get me all pumped up!

That's a very round Beetle! Kinda looks like a big Tangy Berry!

Woah! Samira's here!? Did she get a discount!?

Nah. It's all 'cuz she worked hard!

People care enough to make fakes of these...?

They look alike too. He's probably like, his master!

Howdy, y'all! Heheheh.

Maybe.

Y'all don't know nothing 'bout what you're discussin'!

What, just 'cuz he spends money to eat?

You two think about this way too hard...

It's pretty good!

It's always for a price…

A food what?

WOAH! That sounds like Leif's dream job!

You uh, didn't have to explain all of them in one go…

Blogging seems really fun.

You were supposed to feel happy!

I don't think I'll ever get tired of eating fancy stuff! ...You think she will?

Woah! Dark Cherries are super expensive, y'know!? And he's got tons!

Bleh...rich kids don't know how good they have it.

Hey, those medals he's wearing..."VIP"!

Heheh. Hope he posts a quest. Think of the reward!

Woah... As if lakes weren't bad enough already.

You can't sell items with vague descriptions! It's bad business!

We won't know if we don't stay, right?

...Bugs that look down on others...Are the worst!

I can tell he only treats others nice if they've got berries! It's disgusting!

She's probably getting paid a billion berries to come here, it's fine!

It's not hot in here though. She's probably just showing off...

Woah! Brutal!

Of course it doesn't! It's just a children's card game!

Complaining that she has everything... There's no way I'm gonna feel sorry for her.

I just think it's weird. Leaving the Hive just to work for someone else…

Maybe...I don't get it, though...

Yeah. They still gotta pretty up stuff around the tunnel.

Yeah. You've really gotta complain to management.

And she can fight well, too!

Bring out your strongest cards!

Huh...

You've got this, though! No problem!

Who does she think she is!?

It's gonna make winning much sweeter!

It's just cards!

Is it really ok to be so relaxed?

If you're trying to win, you can't waste time showing off!

Oi! I always try my super best!

This guy's right to be mad! We pay way too much for the wall to be cracked!

I bet the outfit cost more than the ride here…

...Uh, Leif. Duh!

Now that you won she's all over you, huh.

She's gotta be mad rich to get to the tournament, too…

In a way, it kinda is!

The Power Plant's way cooler than the factory. How come I never got any shifts here!?

I, uh, I'm sure I'd press the right buttons…

That's the Energy Converter! It uh...converts all the energy!

Uh...yep! That's what the Power Plant does!

Guess it's why the Bee Kingdom asked Elizant for control of this place.

Bees won the most, cuz we get to make so much honey!

Huh. This hole wasn't supposed to be here.

Is this what caused the lockdown?

It's gonna pay for causing so much trouble!

There! That should do it!

Awesome!

Let's see where it leads to!

Come on, Kabbu. Plants don't have feelings!

This has gotta be Stream Mountain!

Nah. There's just water coming out of the side!

Let's do it!

And the Bee Kingdom…

Nah. When you're at the top, you feel like the coolest bug in the world!

Gotcha…

The Lost Sands sure love their rock formations…

Mhm. When you see the Lost Sands from the Hive, it's one big box!

Bottoms up! I'm taking a big chug!

Wonder what they're doing here...

Hiya! Fancy meeting you here!

Mhm! Treasure!

Something's very familiar about him, for sure!

And ruin my fur? You're nuts!

Water... Need...water…

It's the only clue we have, so... Any ideas on how to get in?

Woah!

Hope they didn't run into any bandits...

Huh?

You got it! Just have our reward ready when we're back!

Yeah, it's just a bunch of water!

Um, what's this? The key?

This was super easy!

My fur!

They took my Beemerang!

Stop being melodramatic! Let's look around. We'll figure something out!

This place sucks! And they keep bugs in here?

No! No way! I ain't drinking that! We're getting OUT!

...This cell's really well sealed…

Not much else to do, really.

D-Dig?

Ugh...Is this the only way? My fur's gonna get all dirty!

A-Alright. Let's dig it up!

All that matters is we're getting outta this cell.

But we've gotta go find our stuff too!

Digging's not my favorite, but it beats being stuck in a cell.

Let's just, uh, try to keep it to the minimum!

W-What the...?!

...

NAH! WAKE UP ALREADY, COME ON!

Oooookayyyy... The heck were you doing underground?!

Weird. I thought you were a prisoner too…

Pfft...

PFFTHAHAHAHAHA! "UNCLE IRON SEED"?!

She kinda looks like one of those rare Dark Cherries. But red. That's weird.

Oh, yeah! Like in those fairy tales...

Their cherries are red and grow from trees, not the ground! They must cost a fortune!

Kinda like you, right?

Grr...I can't really smack 'em without the Beemerang.

Boooring.

Shh. You want em to hear us!?

A cafeteria?

I don't think the Beemerang's gonna be in a cafeteria. Let's look elsewhere!

Lunch time's over, huh.

A bandit!

Hmph!

Wait. Isn't the desert hot? There shouldn't be any water drops!

The world needs less water, more honey!

So, what, bandits just wanna be gardeners?

Look at all that food!

If it's robbed, there's no problem if we grab it, right?

Ugh. Next time we crash a bandit hideout, let's leave Kabbu at an inn.

L-Let's get out of here before they see us!

Yeehaw! Vi's back in action!

Sigh. Really wish I had the Beemerang.

It's just a bridge from the Golden Settlement!

Uh. Yeah, sure...

You've got some nerve throwing us in a cell!

Let's do it!

Yeah! Don't be so dramatic! We just want the key!

So you've come around? You could've just let us go, you know?

We'd break out again!

I don't get it... Are they good or bad?

He fights really well with one arm…

Couldn't the Roaches have lived in a normal place? Like the Ant Kingdom!

Hey, it's Hawk!

Yeah. It was all around where we found the artifact!

Uh huh. Hey, you wouldn't mind giving that to us, right? We really need it!

That's a key! One left!

They better lay off after that smackdown!

Are unforgiving to the unprepared, we know.

That's a cute apron!

You just don't wanna wear it!

Ahahaha...oh whoops, time to get back to work!

Leif! Freeze her up!

Pay up!

So much for the easy check... We'll find something, so sit tight!

No probs! Now, to seal the deal…

Thanks~!

Super cute! Now, to seal the deal…

W-Woah! You sure 'bout giving us this much!?

It's awesome! It really helped us out!

What? The Beemerang isn't good enough yet?

What? Can't you upgrade mine again?

Free upgrade!

Yikes. Fine. Let's come back later.

Woah, look at all these Beemerangs!

I knew I'd seen her somewhere before!

I already told you it's the Beemerang!

Yeah! Do we get a reward?

Ugh.

"Its own reward". Yeah, I've heard it before!

Ugh, more data stuff? That's so boring!

Really? He's just a normal dude to me!

No problem! Now for th-

...

It's full of Chompers!

Don't ask me to carry you.

W-Woah…

You think? Maybe we can sell it to a Bee scientist or something…

She uh, doesn't have to know all the details.

It's good to go home, huh |string,9|.

Uh, what?

What? What will work?

Sure...I really don't get how, though. Is it worth it?

Yeah. It was a super big, super strong mama Chomper!

Ugh. You're gonna have to start paying!

How's that a reward!? You want us to babysit a dangerous MONSTER!

...Fine. I guess it IS a bit cute!

It's like, underground water coming up and stuff. Right?

I think we should try going up too, though...

You're getting way too excited there, buddy.

Okay...

Let's move the water around! Can't give up without looking for clues!

Stream Mountain's depths are super lame! Where's the treasure!?

Why're you two being all sappy...?

Woah, for real?

Eh, they're way too expensive.

We're here to help!

You got it. Start getting that reward ready!

They've gotta be worth a fortune! No wonder it got stolen.

This place is so cool though. I've never seen this big wheel before!

Huh?! This smoke... I-I...

COUGH! COUGH! COUGH! HACK!

ATCHOOOO!!

...S-Sorry. This smoke makes me really dizz-

I...I'm sorry!

COUGH! COUGH! STOP IT! I SAID I'M SORRY!

You're gonna BETRAY US!? OVER THIS!?

I...I'm sorry. That smoke made me dizzy, I couldn't help it…

I'll stay super far from the fixed one, promise!

Sorry...

Yeouch...

Oi. You've gotta tell us what happened, or we can't help!

Look. Just leave it to us. We'll get it back from the bandits!

C-Congrats!

She didn't realize she was trapped?

W-Well, we could help her out a bit…

Oh, that's the game we played at the festival!

Hehe! What do we get?

Ha! It was nothing for me!

Heheheh.

THAT'S the reward!?

I just...wasn't feeling like it.

We can replay the worm thing here again!

Heheh. We're on it! Just hang in there!

Madeleine's got some good style going on.

Nah, I'd just get tired. Hey, Kabbu. What about you?

(...Wow. He's even tinier than me!)

I can think of one or two nice ways of saying thanks!

Uh, really?

Their permit's fake, right? Maybe they'll try to steal a real one?

Yeah! Let's just beat 'em up!

I get how you feel. But...the answer wasn't to become criminals!

It was to train and become stronger, so you could do the dangerous stuff!

Give it up! You're super outmatched!

Heheh. See you around!

Woah!

Eep! We better stop talking, and start fighting!

That was really close…

Leif!

W-What the... What is this!?

Just what were those things coming out of him...?

No kidding, he's been shouting for hours... U-Um, but I was really worried too!

Zasp jumped in and broke that scorpion's face!

...

Y-Yeah! The doctor said you had weird stuff in you, anyways!

Are you gonna be okay? It was looking super bad…

As if ya had to ask! Team Snakemouth's gonna get that treasure!

Hey! That guy looks familiar!

Woah, that thing's HUGE! It makes the Ant Palace look like a cheap inn!

We really can just go back if you feel bad, y'know?

Never ever! Besides, we promised to help you out!

I got used to only you being able to do it, Leif! I don't like the cold at all…

It's not the same! Ice magic is your thing!

Only one way to find out! Time to explore!

Uh huh...

This is the main room? I thought it'd be more like the Ant Palace!

It's not a castle without treasure, so let's check every corner!

It's really cold down here, bleh.

I mean, if I was rich I'd build a ton of me too!

Oi...

Eep! D-Don't get squished!

Not the factory's fault, you know...

That's one big ice cube!

The heck!?

I don't get it.

Shut it.

(I hope they didn't see me flying over them...)

Yikes. I can't tell what this is at all…

Ah. Fresh air!

This is now my castle! Dibs!

We should only wonder how to solve it!

Now it's really feeling like a throne room!

Leif! Don't try to scare us!

Oh.

Eh, just one more warning on the heap. Let's get that artifact!

It's just a fancy Cursed Cloth!

Hey, look! It's the artifact!

Go get it before I do!

Huh?

Maybe it's up ahead? I really hope there's not another cloth…

Mhm! Off we go!

I sure would have. Glad to have Leif's gibberspeak!

But we did! Team Snakemouth keeps being awesome!

Heheheh, we did it! We're going in the hall of fame!

You guys can chat it up later. Let's take it and get that reward!

It's kinda sad though...I wanted to keep on treasure hunting!

W-What?!

L-Let's hurry up, then!

...I...I never thought an invasion would happen…

We'll be back! Stop worrying!

Sheesh... They're charging full price mid invasion!

Geez! Nothing phases her!

You wanna talk to them?

Everything is…

Oh no! The palace!

S-Shut up! You messed up the whole town!

...Leif...! C-Can't you freeze him?!

The artifact!

Thought that was it for a while…

Eep!

W-What's the rush anyways?

Huh?

That magic was really strong... Almost burnt my fur!

Oi, Kabbu. Are you okay?

Nah!

You do?

A super clue to your weird stuff!

Woah, she looks grumpy!

You had a quest posted up and stuff, right?

Let's get on with the details! Like the reward…

Alright! I'll whoop em up!

Don't push!

Sit back and watch, mayor. Imma get that 20!

Don't you enjoy eating way too much?

Heheh. It was nothing, for real.

...A key?

Really? Awesome! Thanks for the business!

If I get 30, do you pay double!?

Oooor he just wanted to try a new look?

Hehe, it's cool to see others want to explore!

Team Snakemouth, ready to work!

You can't be seriously falling for that.

Whatever. Let's go!

W-What are ya doing?

Y-Yup.

O-Oi! The reward!

YES! This was a tough one!

There's Mun! Let's get him to pay up!

You uh, forgot the reward though.

It was noooo problem!

Oh baby, a double!

E-Err...the double of ten is...twenty?

We kinda did everything, but…

Yeah. At least she tried to help…

Geez, she's crying really hard. Wonder what's up…

You know it. We saw your post on the wall!

Don't worry, Leby. I'm on the case!

Come on, let's get out of here before more monsters appear!

Really?

Come, let's find something else to do!

Heh. These two look much happier lately.

And getting a reward's always super good!

A-And the joy! Lots of joy.

Woah! That's a huge Seedling!

Alright! We took their king down!

Are Seedlings gonna stop showing up?

Bleh...

Oh yeah. I heard a bounceshroom showed up down there after the flood!

We can go down whenever we need to!

Fine, fine. We'll walk around!

Why ARE we here, though?

It's not like treasure is going to suddenly appear.

Screw that. If there's no treasure let's just get out.

Seriously? A door behind the door?

Uh, yup! Ready to go in?

Oi, isn't this lasting way too long?

Hopefully a treasure or two, too!

Woah. You alright? There's gotta be some important stuff in there!

It'll be quick, ok? It's just to make sure we didn't miss anything.

W-What the heck!?

That language, is it…

This is wrong. It feels way wrong!

That's a super huge gap. Even if I carried ya, doubt we'd make it…

Nice!

Not a problem!

It's a real language, huh. I thought you were just mumbling and stuff.

Well, the trapdoor was a pretty good distraction.

Climbing hills, trees, castles...we just keep going up, huh.

What's this place supposed to be?

And there's a bunch of pipes...does science use that much water?

The roaches caused the subjects a lot of trouble too…

...I don't get it.

...

After all we did to get here!?

Mmm, you think the last Queen built this place in secret?

T-That doesn't make any sense!

I-It's charging up!

P-Phew! You took your time!

Hey, calm down! You're acting weird!

Eh? But you're here with us!

Uh, yeah. But not you! You're like, a pretty cool dude!

Err...I don't really know…

But you didn't know us before, right? We still became good friends, though.

So uh, "You" or "Leif"...why not both?

We never knew Leif anyways, so it's ok!

Yeah! It's not like you were faking or anything!

Take it easy, okay?

...

Um, what do YOU want to do?

Phew. Glad you won't go missing on us!

Do we stay out here?

Yup!

Aw yes, free food!

Oi!

The food was super good, thank you!

Heheheh.

Oh, it's whatevs.

...Come on, you're not the sappy type.

Do they act the same and stuff, too?

You two must've been a super strong team!

Woah, even taller than you!?

They should build a bridge here! Then they could build houses and stuff.

We're leaving, okay? Sheesh.

Well, Kabbu does.

YOU'RE an optimist?

And we go to super awesome places all the time!

(No.)

I wonder what's the point in doing nothing all day…

Huh, what?

Uh, lemme check our quests…

Kind of a weirdo, right?

Here goes...Um, hermit dude! Is this what you were looking for?

Uh, me neither. Did we just play match makers!?

The client's always right!

With permission we could've crossed anyways…

Did you see who did it!?

It was her job to watch the gate, though…

Yeah. Never heard of a super old caterpillar!

This is part of the Wasp Kingdom, they probably don't care much about cleaning stuff up.

Hey, Kabbu. You're from the north, right?

Uh, what? Wretched?

How did you get here, then?

Yeah. It's east of here, right? I'll make sure there's no traps around!

You act anything but normal!

He's the one who should be honored! We're the super best Bugarian team!

Isn't Yin too old to still be a caterpillar?

Kina doesn't like Yin at all, huh.

Say it any louder and she'll smack us!

Say the word, and I'm ON IT!

You can tell they don't like visitors. It's like that poster outside my room!

It's way too messy in here! I can barely make out the road!

A business?

No kidding!

...There's nothing here!

No point in thinking about it!

Living in the wild’s gotta put you on edge!

There's a buncha doors! Someone lives here?

Shadiest place in a while, huh.

Aw yes! We're on the same page!

Bleh. I hate when the treasure turns out to be books.

W-Was that a spider?

Yay...so many books…

Wow! Look at all the flying books!

Wow! Look at all the flying books!

Eh, we're helping him out. So it's okay!

Bleh, who's gonna pay up for that? Those don't even work!

I hope so. It'd cost a fortune to buy…

Not without breaking something…

Nooooope.

That sounds super cool! So what's the ingredients?

Real helpful.

Not a kid.

W-Woah! I just learned stuff all of a sudden!

Thank you! Now that's a reward!

Bleh. If it's bad, I don't want it.

G-Guh…

It's kinda nice though. In a weird way.

All the plants are annoying. But also nice. In a weird way, you know?

I heard you!

Whatever! You're probably hiding treasure or something!

W-Wait, we're not poachers!

We didn't do any-

Y-Yeah, sorry!

Do we look like Wasps!?

For a price!

That's why exploring's fun! There's secrets everywhere!

That's why exploring's fun! You get to meet lotsa weird people!

Fishing SUCKS!

...I uh, respect that. But it won't make me like fishing...

How can she be so cheerful? You can't do anything in here.

...Exactly!

...Does it really work that way...?

Living in the wild's gotta put you on edge!

Well, for like 10 berries...

Chill out. It's just cake.

Sweets are the best!

Yeah!

Chill out. We're gonna be fine, Kabbu. Okay?

Heheheh.

Oh, lemme guess! Stay together, don't fall into the water, and don't fight spooky things!

Oh, lemme guess your advice! Stay together, don't fall into the water, and don't fight spooky things!

It's way calmer than I expected in here!

Seriously? These look super harmless…

Uh... Thanks?

Well, at least they're not super tough.

Well, yeah. But we weren't hitting them or anything…

I shoulda shut up... It's getting intense!

This place is super intense!

Phew. That was another close call! Good thing I can-

IYAAAAAAA!

No kidding...! Everyone's fine?

SHOULD I FLY OVER THERE!?

Uh, right. Time to search!

Ugh, we're stuck already!? This is bad.

W-Were you always this strong?

Oi, what's all that hopelessness talk!?

Just tell us! We'll get it!

Y-Yeah. You're always telling us you'll help us!

I-It's gonna be ok, Kabbu! We're gonna cross it together!

K-Kabbu... Come on, say something!

You got it! Team Snakemouth's ready to go!

They could've repaired the bridge or something…

S-Should we worry?

(Eep!)

T-That thing was huge…

You mean the one that…

Yeah, we'd better get a move on!

There's a lotta weird machines around…

Yikes... Let's just get outta here soon!

Alright! Let's hop on the lilypads!

Just trying to make things fun...

Yeah. Why all this stuff? Just build a bridge!

What if we missed some treas-...I mean, yeah. It's over!

Wait, where's Maki?

I've been waiting for this!

Let's show him we've grown since our fight!

Yeah! We'll knock 'em out in record time!

Alright, let's settle this!

W-WHAT'S THAT!?

K-Kabbu…

E-Eep! It's too late to run!

Huff... Huff...Thought I was done for…

T-Thanks, Kabbu…

You better be sorry! I'm too young to get eaten!

B-But I think I woulda done the same if someone, um, hurt you guys…

Shut up! You're the kindest bug around!

No surprise, we can do anything!

We should eat something. I brought some secret honey!

Eat your own stuff!

...Just kidding. It's fine this once. We beat that super huge monster!

Team Snakemouth's the best for a reason!

Thanks for passing us and all.

Can't be any tougher than the bandit hideout.

I get it! Drop it already!

Alright!

Hey, that ice isn't melting!

Is it that big of a deal? He can just get another tool, right?

...Alright, alright.

You're Engira, right? You lost that claw thing?

Uh, whoops! Wrong one…

Can you make us something cool with it?

We're gonna have to be super sneaky!

Hey! We managed to get past the bandit hideout, didn't we?

The Hive's got a few like these too! It's probably just a bunch of food.

Is this supposed to be like, their plaza?

I dunno, but it seems they hang those big machines here.

I really don't get it. How come everyone's stuff is so run down?

If the Hive looked like this, no one would listen to the Queen!

We can feel sorry about 'em later. We've gotta get the artifact!

Huh. It's super quiet in here.

Less guards means whack 'em time!

Today's been full of action, huh.

You got it, Kabbu!

Is this a prison? It's huge! Like, the bandits would be super jealous.

That's just cruel! You can't leave people without food!

(Uh, no! We can't give THAT!)

Nah. Let's go, team!

She's uh, dedicated. But she's not dumb. She sure knows.

She's nuts!

Why's a Wasp in prison?

Ugh. You'd have to pay me to get me to come back.

Uh.

Pleas? What'dya mean? You're the ones attacking everyone!

To help, we uh...need an ancient artifact! Got any of those?

Heheheh, yeah! You'd better have a reward ready when we do!

...Eh, I'll take it.

Even villains gotta clear the dust!

Woah! This stew's super good!

You saying I'm little?

We can charge straight ahead!

Well, yeah! You can see the throne right there in the middle!

Just get out of the way! We're in a hurry!

Look. Just hand over the artifact and you'll save yourself a whooping!

Ugh, just shut up already!

Let's get the artifact back!

General guy turned out to be a pushover.

Just shut it!

Huh? Who's that?

Uh, are you the King's, um…

Or at least to take the artifact…

Uh, what's up?

WHAT!?

Let's leg it! What if the town's all ruined again!?

Grrr! Get out of the way!

...Town looks more than fine… Did that poser lie to us!?

Like we'd fall for the same trick twice!

It's not! He's just gonna get the sapling and come back!

Uh, right. No one wants to get old!

Wow! That's awesome!

We need to go beat up the King! Whatever he wants isn't any better!

You mean that giant wall we can see from the big tree? The haunted place?! THAT Giant's Lair?!?!

W-What do we do, then? Bees can't build boats or anything...

There's a Termite Kingdom?

Of the Wasp King!

Let's go after him!

Come on! We've beat you once already! Shut up!

The laiu... lieu... the ant captain's ok! Phew!

She lost her people to a faker... That's gotta sting!

Ants, Bees and Wasps aren't that different. Most just follow whoever's in the throne.

But we love our Queen, so it just feels a bit sad…

Stop it! You're embarassing me!

Well, it's fine! We'll get him back!

...This isn't just a leisure trip, y'know…

No problem! You can repay it now, if you wanna.

She gives stuff for free? I don't get it…

This place ain't that big. Does she really need Seb?

Yeah, but I don't pay you guys to hang around me!

Uh, we were wondering if you could lend us one of your umbrellas!

(Noooo...)

Heya! Are you the lost sister's uh, sister?

...So what happened exactly?

Wait, you're going too!?

Woah, she actually made it!

It'll be fine. Just stay behind us!

Don't play dumb! You stole her sister!

Guess everything's fine, then.

...'d apologize a lot. Right?

Eep!

I can't see anything! Where are we even going?!

Who's this guy?

That mask's all weird.

Dunno. I kinda wanna try it on!

I don't like this... But I GUESS it could be useful.

...Uh, yeah. But why?

Whatever they were gonna build here... They gave up, right?

Ugh, can't we just try all three ways?

Guess we can't go on, huh?

What? No way! Let's find some other way!

Uh, yeah…

Are you uh, 100% sure?

M-My Queen?

WHAT!?

I can't do it alone! Just carrying Kabbu'd be hard enough!

Grrr...I'm gonna be all sore... Fine, whatever! Leave it to me!

I'm just doing it 'cuz the Queen asked me to!

Lots of chasms here…

Ugh. These gaps are too far apart! I can't carry Kabbu that long!

Hey...that scrap has the Ant Kingdom stuff on it!

You should let that Neo guy know, right?

Why'd all these bugs wanna live here?

They can be all weird if they want. Let's keep looking around!

Was everyone a bunch of Mothflies in hoods too?

What was UP with that thing!?

This ain't fancy enough for a queen, right?

Time for lunch!

It's just pumpkins, Kabbu...

Time for lunch!

It's just pumpkins, Kabbu...

...It's just a big rock?

The Termite Kingdom's just a big rock, huh.

What's weird about glass? We've seen heaps of it.

With a good ol' beatdown!

No problem!

Right…

Just do your magic Queen diplomacy!

She gives a LOT more berries than shops do! We're gonna get rich!

So her friend lives all the way out here?

YEAH! Leif, you're the worst!

Woah, that's a berry maker right there!

WHAT!?

Leave it to us!

Don't let it stop you from relaxing!

Easy peasy!

Stop!

...I mean, it's cool. But is it enough?

Heheheh.

It's gonna grow great, you're super kind!

Eh, if they stay clear from the dome it'll be fine!

The Termites live here? Really?

You can be smart and look ugly, you know…

This one seems super bulky! Like Kabbu!

They're BORN with a cannon? Why do Bees get like, one tiny stinger!?

See you there, Lisa!

You two gotta learn to relax! Let's look around and catch up!

Well, duh. My Kingdom's full of paint and happy stuff. This city's all dull!

Some bugs are really weird. It's that culture thing, I guess.

Most likely. I don't like them much, though.

No clue.

We should tell H.B. about it!

He's super ignoring you.

Kabbu's nagging's global too...

Malbee would stomp her if she read on the job at the factory!

Or Crisbee's baking! Um, guess we know where to go after the mission.

Or uh, it did. Guess it's not working right now…

Where there is food, there he is.

Is it uh, healthy to just eat one food?

He looks lame. You've got bad taste.

Hey!

DineMite's the cheapest place around! And yum!

When you put it that way... At least I know how to annoy you now!

Hard work always pays off!

What's THIS poster doing here!?

I don't get politics...

No need to wait for the guards to change the leaves!

Well, duh. It's the throne. Come on, Kabbu!

Woah. I've GOT to see that!

Whatever.

You gonna go in?

Nice to meet you!

What's that supposed to mean?

Hmph.

That's my type of diplomacy!

It's been a while since a public smackdown!

Let's go to the Colosseum!

She really shut that king up!

He's sure packing a lot of anger for a short guy!

I never get to! I've gotta take the chance!

The Queen is um...big.

Awesome! They've got conveyors on the floor!

There's a lot of pipes and stuff. Probably smoke.

Nah. It's a firefly! Sis told me some bugs in other regions glow in the dark and stuff.

15 berries!? Why is it so expensive!?

Just 'cuz we're richer doesn't mean we should be spending more!!!

Even the Termites get tourists? Wasn't this uh, iso...isole…

Good thing our team's not banned anywhere!

You're scared of a random guy after all the stuff we've beat up!?

If I want berries, I go and earn them!

...But he looks like he can't, it must be rough…

Yeah!

How do you even get there anyway? N-Not because we're planning to go or anything.

If he doesn't wanna fight, he shouldn't!

But I LIKE smackdowns! I do them 'cuz I want to!

Eh, it's whatever. A deal's a deal!

Who'd ever wanna research dumb Seedlings?

...Ok.

What's he looking at? It's just the dome ceiling.

Oh, it's like when I think of being super rich and famous!

I hope his dreams come true. Mine sure are!

What's wrong with that? Showing off your cool moves is great!

There's already guards here. What's his job supposed to be?

Boooooring.

Yup.

Well, making a profit's hard work!

Or they're super competitive!

What, you tryin' to say something?

Don't take toooooo long!

They have a pier too! We should've just ferried in.

What's the point of a pier if there's no boats!?

Don't explain it! I just want to feel mad about it!

He mentioned water, right? So this pumps water everywhere?

They've got nothing on our super honey network!

The Bee Kingdom just throws all the smoke into the sky!

You hate water, stop telling him to swim.

It looks a little...normal, you know?

That just sounds lazy!

Whatever.

Aww…

I don't wanna ever quit exploring! ...But, y'know, I'd run a shop.

You go, super regular normal dude!

Wha-No! I'm my own hero! I should be HIS hero!

Except the Ant Kingdom…

If I give you some berries, can you bet higher and pay me later?

Aww…

We'll do awesome like always!

Yeah, yeah. Let's go!

We've gotta beat it AGAIN!?

Yeah! We're on the same team!

Ugh, I want the Primal Weevil back.

I'm not even tired yet! You'd better give up!

Poor you...

No time for the inn! Let's get going to the palace!

Um, so it goes under the water? W-What if it breaks?

The Termite Gen and Eri!

To ride the sub?

It is?

Wew...okay. I'm gonna trust it.

We can finally go get the Everlasting Sapling!

And beat up the King, too!

Time to let off some steam!

It loves fighting, don't feel sorry for it! Let's go!

Geez, you gotta learn to take it slow, dude!

Look, it's what you wanted. You can't just ask for more stuff in the same job!

That doesn't make any sense!

Seriously!?

So... Will you give us the reward or not?

Uh, maybe? I dunno…

Never seen a Termite before coming here, so…

Why'd you come here? Doesn't seem much cooler.

Why not go back?

...I'm not gonna ask for a reward this time. I guess it's fine.

Nice!

Woah, you travelled all the way here!?

Uh, we'll see you there, then?

Alrighty! Where's his post?

And you're the Seedling guy, right? You're in SUPER LUCK!

We've been fighting Seedlings for ages!

Heheheh. I knew those Seedlings would be good for something someday!

Wha? Termites know the Bug Rangers?

Heheheh.

I promise Kabbu and Leif won't.

Dunno if we can help…

Woah, wait.

...Kabbu…

Y-Yeah! On the house!

And they say money can't buy happiness.

Yeah...you have like, a being nice superpower!

...Yeah, it was.

Hiya! You're Layna, right?

It'll be fine! Nothing we can't handle!

Yeah, this area is super foggy! Nero's got WEIRD taste.

Is that like, a super rare shroom?

Really? I can't wait to be outta there…

A book!? Look, w-

Stop doing that, Kabbu. Books aren't worth anything!

If no one wants to buy it, it's worthless! Why do you think libraries rent 'em!?

Don't ignore me!

What we should see is if she's still selling that stew!

What, like a shop?

Woohoo!

You just needed to make sure, huh.

T-Thanks! We should give you something back, uh…

Yup. Don't make a big deal out of it, ok?

...A job's a job. Where can I find it?

Better be. It really IS far away...

Eep! B-but we need the paint!

Yeah. He won't budge, though. Sorry…

I'm charging extra for the double trip.

Hey, Reed.

Uh, Leif, don't. Alright? Wouldn't want to never be able to sleep again knowing something could happen to us.

Yeah, yeah. I know, Reed. Just leave it to me.

We know, we know.

Huh, we got a response!

Gee, what a moody fellow.

Hope it's worth the pay!

Yeah, I doubt that!

Jaune's not that easy to beat. She'll even like the competition.

You tell me every time, Reed.

...!

Hm...He looks rich doesn't he? I figured he'd want a fancier place!

Eh, it's no Honey Factory.

W-Well…

You can't sell games with a frown!

Sounds like an easy job! Let's do it!

Yeah, now for the reward!

Y-Yep...!

Let's come back after we drop off Elizant!

S-Same...

Ready to go!

Yahoo!

Yikes, they really did sink his ship.

Even if it was super overpriced, it was an awesome ride! It didn't deserve this!

And super fired up!

What's what?

I really can't hear anything…

Now that it's gone...maybe they can set up a resort here!

(Bleh...Why can't I hear it!?)

Not me. I couldn't hear it at all!

So many bridges! This prison is huge!

Oh, I know this one! It's the prison where they put aaaall the bad bugs!

Meh. We'll just snoop around and beat 'em up. It's what we do!

It's a prison, what'd ya expect!?

Good thing I can fly...

The food fights here have to be awesome!

Well, duh. They fly.

Wonder if Maki'll give 'em a second chance...

It's kinda weird to not have to fight.

You think the Queen sends the lazy guards here?

It's not like that'll help them break out…

Bleh.

Why's this the security room? It doesn't seem special at all…

Isn't the power on? Why's it not working?

Woah, it actually worked!

Having to read all of these's such a mean punishment!

...What? That's it?

Ugh. Are we gonna have to read them!?

Stop right there! You're done!

Oi, that's cheating!

Knock it off! You already lost!

Just let us pass!

...That works.

Woah, I thought she was a super pacifist!

Time to kick some butt!

No wonder it fell with one swing.

I told ya I was worth like 4 Bees!

Count on it!

Look. Whatever. Just beat a bunch of baddies up!

Yah. In a little corner next to our portrait!

Or ask a Hive soldier! At least they can fly!

Just set a trap behind the baddies too!

Hey.

Yeah! We're good enough, but this is great!

Huh? How's a crown gonna pump you up?

I don't get how this is gonna help.

Paid vacation!

So prisoners can earn berries, huh.

Wonder what he did to end up here…

Well, there's free food!

Prison's rough for the weak villains, huh.

That's just Venus with eyes, right?

I'm glad the tunnels are done, though!

Is it?

Huh, neat. Thanks I guess, these tunnels are super helpful!

Awesome! This will make travelling a breeze.

I'm fine. Aren't you guys overthinking it?

B-But it IS kinda creepy in here...

Huh? A bud?

Makes sense, right? It's the ultimate challenge!

We're serious too! This ain't just about treasure anymore!

Thanks! Alright team, we're going after that jerk!

E-Eeep! What the HECK is THAT!?

It's not just the eye! They're super massive!

Look, there's light over there!

Well, whatever. It can be as tall and as cold as it wants. We're gonna climb it!

E-Eep! What the heck!? When!?

We woulda been fine!

...I know, but I don't wanna think we woulda lost!

Heheh. We're gonna do it anyways!

It's gonna be fine! We've all gotten super strong!

We can't stop! If the Wasp King can, we totally can too!

I-I-It's c-c-coold...!

This is...a village?

No way!

Huh. You do have a heart!

We'll just have to knock-

...How long have they had to deal with Dead Landers?

It's super dangerous, but they're all pretty calm…

No way! I could never get used to the Dead Landers!

Scorpions as PETS!? That's nuts!

O-Oh yeah…

Grr...That dumb Wasp King's the reason everyone got hurt! I'll show him!

H-Hey, that's right! How did she cross!?

Is the Elder like...the Roach Queen?

Yeah, it's called the Beemer- Ow!

We coulda done it sooner! Let's run!

O-Oi! Focus on what we've gotta do!

I was just waiting for you to say it!

Yeah! Let's go!

He picked the wrong scouting shift, huh.

Yeah, yeah. Just do your job until we're back!

...Nothing happened!

Alright! Let's go meet up with the others!

Nice job!

Heheh. He's got no chance if we're all together!

We've grown really strong since then, huh? This room's no match for us!

It's gotta be the sapling!

Yeah! Our trail of beating you up comes next!

W-Woah, we're kinda alright!

I've been waiting all day!

Not that tough without that fire, huh?

It's...it's wilted!

Gross!

N-No way! That actually worked!?

Well, duh! We can't run away now!

What the- He healed up!

Y-Yeah! Shut up and give up already!

W-what happened?!

...We got super lucky...

...So he's like, a tree now?

He was so strong, though!

Can we think about it later, though? It's still dangerous here and stuff.

Can't we put like, a cooler statue here or something?

Like a Team Snakemouth statue!

Aw...

It's cuz they can have adventures now, too!

Aww, why can't he be nice with Mothiva around?

Heck yeah! I'm super hungry!

Yeah! You're a super explorer now!

Heheh. All we've gotta do is go get our super reward!

It was a super, super long mission…

But we saved everyone! Heheh, being famous too doesn't hurt!

Woah! Everybody's here!

It's pretty nice, huh.

You worry way too much!

Heheh. It was nothing!

Aww…

Oi! Get out of our house!

And that's ok! When you work together you can do cooler stuff!

...Thanks.

I'm gonna need a huge painting! From the most talented artist in the Bee Kingdom!

When can you start making it?

A-Ahahaha...Yeah! I really did!

Heheheh, you know it!

We did it! We're like, super famous now!

Heheheh...We're the best!

You've said thanks like a billion times already, stop!

Yeah...

HUH!?

...Alright. Yeah. We can do that!

Um, well...I still haven't fixed stuff with sis.

I uh, I've gotta apologize!

Alrighty! Then it's our next mission! Let's go!

Oh, yeah!

Nah. We're fine.

...No problem.

Come on, it was really something!

Yeah! It's gonna work for sure!

Yeah! And don't forget th-

N-Never! Let's beat 'em up!

You can't give up NOW! You've gotta try!

I'm sure it'll work!

You can do it!

Heheh, you're blushing!

What's up with Yin?

Gotcha. We'll meet up there!

Yeah. You made it here all by your- Aw crud!

You could've told us before!

Yin's our friend too! It's fine!

Huh? Like...fight you for real?

Didn't expect it to be cuz of Yin, right?

She's gotta learn somewhere!

And she doesn't make the scary faces anymore!

Heheh. Especially after that test of his!

...And then he just said "you pass". Grr!

...

Heh. You sure you wanna fight!? We took down the Wasp King, y'know!?

Y-You're strong too, wow!

You got it!

For a good pri- Ow!

Um, do you really like this place?

That's kinda hard to imagine…

Here we go!

Eh, we're already here so...

...

We should, um...go back. You can tell us a lot more stuff at the palace!

Loser pays the repairs, heheheh…

N-No... The bill...

You're pretty good!

Heheh. Word gets around!

Well, let's meet up again later!

Huh?

Your fault for selling super good stuff!

And they took the hits from Scarlet first!

It's kinda weird to take all the credit…

If it's his dream, he'll get to sail again!

They saw everything, without being able to fight! It's nuts!

I don't remember her ever being so...uh, meek. Meek's the word.

M-Mom...! You helped us out too!

Uh huh...

Bleh. It feels like everyone learned something...EXCEPT Mothiva! Even Zasp's cool now!

She did it for the fame! Not to be nice!

I dunno...Mothiva could be nicer to him, or something…

We should build a vacation house!

We get the hero discount! We should try it out!

I thought it was obvious.

Yeah.

THE RIGHT! IT'S TO THE RIGHT!

Maybe he just ate a bunch of Tangy Berries.

That explains why it's boarded up like that.

You can tell they haven't liked visitors for long. It's like that poster outside my room!

This place ain't too shabby.

We should have, like, a picnic here sometime!

You're, uh...not gonna move? This isn't part of the Ant Kingdom…

Yay...

We're just saying hi! There's no problem, right?

Woah. That's right!

Huh. I wonder what happened to him…

Heheh. Whatever it is, we're gonna find it!

We're gonna have to make the next festival the best one EVER!

The Queen was cool in the end!

And she earned your respect anyways, so it's fine!

Queen Vanessa's got a lotta stuff to fix…

Hehe. And they get to learn from us too!

A Was- Oh, right.

Well, there's lots to do!

...'d apologize a lot. Right?

You gonna keep selling stew? It's super good!

What, like a shop?

Woohoo!

And lose the discount!? No way!

So what's Wasp culture like?

Doesn't seem like it, right?

It's ok. We can make better ones now!

Who WOULDN'T wanna take 'em in!? They're the long lost bugs!

I can't get used to them being all nice now…

Maybe he was out doing stuff while the King attacked.

Fuff's a pretty chill guy, huh.

Nah. You saved us with the Flame Brooch!

W-Woah! WOAH!!! T-Thanks!

Well, everyone's back to normal, right? It's all that matters!

So? We've been here before!

WOAH! Tech pays a LOT!

...Nope.

I'd never leave with THAT salary…

...Not enough.

You gotta find SOME joy with all these monsters…

We're just gonna check on the tree, right? Let's do it fast!

He still wants to scout after all that!?

...Come on, let's look around for a bit.

Still kinda bummed the sapling's gone. We worked really hard to find it!

Uh huh... Hey Leif, you sure there's no magic in the tree at all?

Umm... I mean, it is pretty dark here, and the sapling was stuffed inside that thingy.

Maybe they fled to the Giant's Lair?

I thought I had to be the best explorer, but…

Everything's better if you work together!

Yup! All us!

"Ruigee" who?

(mininbubble) Free!?

It sure feels nice to get cool stuff without doing anything.

Huh? Uh, yeah! That I know of...

Look, they're not guards because they want to or anything, okay?

They were born to be guards, so they guard. That's it.

...That's just how the Hive is sometimes.

Well, it's not like we're getting attacked by a giant wasp spider guardian!

...Besides, they're used to staying here a good while.

Yeah, work never stops.

It's not intelligent! It only knows like, three sentences!

You two seriously need to learn how to think less.

Mhm. These tunnels were a super great idea!

Heheh. Let's get a lead on some exciting stuff!

Bees don't really make hats, though. Maybe the glasses.

How did someone like him end up with a hot-headed cricket like her anyway?

No kidding, you can already tell by her looks!

Really!? You're gonna beat up stuff with us!?

What?!

Well, she's like a super Goddess, right?

Woah, that's a big ant!

What's a miner doing all the way out here?

Kabbu! She just wants free food! We can just come back later and it'll be done!

What if she joined our team? She'd punch holes through spiders!

It's always best to save and wait!

Those berries don't even taste good…

It's one of those stupid, annoying Seedlings!

They're all over the outskirts, but don't even drop good items!

Let's just beat them up already!

Seriously? A Seedling with a hat!?

My Beemerang can't pierce through… Kabbu's gonna have to flip it!

These Seedlings BURROW? Ugh, it's gotta be karma for all those flying Seedlings. Help me out, Leif!

Seriously? This is a Seedling!? I just don't get science sometimes…

It's a bit too tough for the Beemerang... Better let Kabbu handle it!

I wonder how many Seedling types there are... This one's really weak! Guess it needs others to fight its battles…

Kabbu said to focus it, but I'd rather leave it for last. Hmm…

...Alright then. This ain't good. It's fat and way too sturdy! If I'm gonna hurt it I'll need some piercing skills…

I think I'll have to rely on Kabbu and Leif for this one…

WOAH! A GOLDEN SEEDLING! Their Tangy Berries sell for DOZENS!

Heheheh... We're gonna be rich! ...W-What!? What's this defense!? Only my first hit's working!

We've gotta find a way to stop it from running!

Eep! That Ant is...possessed! No way!

That's just a story the Queen tells kids to scare them... This is too creepy!

I'm gonna take it out!

W-Whoa... Why're there Bees in here...!? This is awful!

Ugh! Leif...can you use your ice magic on them?

No way... It wasn't just Zombiants! It's like this place is cursed!

It's super tough... I'm gonna need the others' help!

Cripes, is that a flying Mushroom? This cave does some weird stuff to things…

I'll knock it out of the air!

Eep! How can such a big thing jump that high!? Watch out, everyone!

It's poisonous too... Good thing I've brought my Secret Stash! Leif, let's pull out some ice moves!

What's up with this thing? It's like a spiky Pillbug!

Its armor is really strong, so I can barely hurt it.

I bet Kabbu can flip it over, though!

Uh oh. Someone let the Denmukis out of their cage... We're gonna have to smack 'em before they zap us!

E-Eep! Kabbu, flip it over! It's so creepy! I get numb just hearing it!

As if the swamp wasn't spooky enough... Huff! Okay... I'm fine now. Let's go!

Ooh, a Numbnail! I hear Numbnail sedatives go for a lot of berries on the market.

I'll try to take some for myself when Kabbu flips it out of its shell!

O-Oi! Aren't snails slow and stuff? The Forsaken Lands really are super dangerous…

We can still just fight them like they're Numbnails, though. Right, Kabbu?

Ugh! I've got stings everywhere! It just keeps hitting me back!

I should try to take it out in one attack!

Chompers are the worst! They bite you really hard, and even heal while doing it!

And then they summon tinier, annoying Chompers! I'm gonna take it out before it can!

Whoa! What do they FEED this thing!? We've gotta be careful!

Let's gang up on it before it makes too many Chompers!

Mmm... I don't have much to say. It's just an angry plant, really. Weak to ice and stuff. Nothing new.

It does heal up, so we've gotta focus it down or it'll just get back up!

E-Eep! A Weevil! I don't have the best memories of them…

L-Let's get Kabbu to take the hits, while we beat them up!

Hmm... So this is a Psicorp. I think their poison can make some nice items!

Let's not beat it up too bad, or no one will buy it! Leif! Get it out if it goes under!

That's an Arrow Worm, right? It's buried all the time, so I can't be super sure…

Oi Leif! Get it out of the ground or we're gonna have to book it out of here!

A thief!? There's nothing worse in the world! The nerve to steal my hard-earned treasure!

I'm gonna knock 'em out of the air and take everything he's stolen!

Eep! I-It's a bandit! I'm not gonna let him get near our bag. No way!

Maybe I'll just let Kabbu take the hits while I throw my Beemerang at 'em.

W-Wait... What if they steal my Beemerang? I hope I'm not worrying too much…

Ugh... This is bad. Burglars are the worst! I can't believe how fast they can tackle, being so big…

They're tough and good at stealing too... I hate them! Let's finish this quick!

Uh oh... I've seen this guy in a wanted poster! He's super dangerous!

He's flailing that chain like it's a leaf! Watch out for those kicks!

The heck? Who put blasters on the Bee-Boops? I'm gonna have to knock 'em out of the sky!

So annoying! You'd think they'd stop firing at me, since I'm a Bee and all... Let's pummel it!

These things won't shut up! And they're super sturdy!

At least they don't fight back... Time to whack them!

Argh! The Abomihoney! They mixed too much honey! We're in big trouble!

We've got to take it down, or freeze it before it explodes!

The factory shuts down for a few minutes, and THIS happens? Yikes... Talk about escalating quickly.

We've gotta get rid of it, but we can't ignore the Abomihoneys, either!

Is that a bug or a bot? It's mega weird. It even changes color when it's cold!

I wonder if that makes it weaker to Kabbu's hits... I think my Beemerang's always gonna work, though!

Whoa whoa whoa! This is too much! A floating head!? With lasers!?

I'll bring it down and bury it where it belongs!

Get off! Get OFF me! Geez! This thing's got issues!

We can't let it get too close, so I'd best get smacking!

Eep! Oi, don't just come out of nowhere! And stop kicking me!

Kabbu said they can clone or whatever... Doesn't matter. I'll just beat them all up!

Bring it on! It's bow vs. Beemerang! A super long-range battle!

They hurt a lot but look wimpy... Maybe we should focus on them first before they call for help!

Grrr... Don't go thinking you're strong just cuz you can lift a big stick! It's all about technique!

Time to show 'em what real skills look like!

T-The Wasps found us! ...Oh, what? What bug is this?

Well, whatever. It's just another enemy I've gotta smack to the ground!

Oi! Stop jumping on me! Do you think I'm a springshroom!?

And give me my stuff back! It's expensive! Grr...I'll flip you over with a Hurricane Toss!

Hiya- AAAAAAHH!!! Huff...Huff…

Heck this. You're going DOWN! As if you could put us to sleep after that scare!

An air bubble? Bleh. Why would anyone wanna live underwater!?

Ugh, and that shield's bouncing everything off! I hate having to wait!

Whoa...! It's gliding on water! How's it not sinking!?

I can think about it later. I've gotta stop it from shooting so many water missiles!

...Y'all wouldn't consider just running from this one, right?

I know it's no Spider, but...-?! Whoa! It's got a giant rock! Kabbu, hurry up and hit it!

Hey... Isn't this a bit too weak to be hanging around here?

I kinda feel bad for it...but I'll smack it down anyways!

W-What the heck!? I shouldn't have called them so weak…

But it's STILL just a bunch of weak Flies together, right? Just gotta keep attacking!

Whoa, he's fast! Okay... Focus, Vi! You've gotta aim super well if you're gonna win!

We can't let him call for more friends!

What's the Wasp Kingdom's problem? Why'd they have to walk in and start causing trouble!?

Grr...I'm gonna teach him a lesson!

Stop it! Stop chucking stuff at us! I can't even knock down those boxes…

Kabbu, if you flip it twice I can bring down the smackdown!

W-Whoa there, big guy! I almost got run through…

He gets tougher when I hit 'em. Nothing Kabbu can't handle! Err, I hope.

Hey, this is a Venus' Bud! I saw them in a storybook once…

I wonder if they drop any rare items? I could get rich proving they're real!

...But maybe they'll get mad if they find out I hurt it... Bleh. Less thinking, more fighting!

What the heck? You're telling me prayer lets Aria summon huge vines!?

Maybe I should start praying too... Meh. I'll just use my Beemerang to hit her while she's up in the air!

Tch. I don't even know why I got excited to meet her. She's just another pretentious, snotty bug!

I've gotta be careful hitting her though, Zasp gets really mad!

Hmph. So you really want to fight, Zasp? Bet you think you'll win cuz you're all cool. And tall.

Prepare for a Beemerang to the face!

You crook! What if I'd never found my Beemerang!? And what's with ruining my items?

I don't care if you're the boss, you're gonna go down!

Watch out! ...Phew. Kabbu almost got wrecked!

This thing's way angrier than a Psicorp! We've got to knock it out!

W-Whoa! That's nothing like the Golden Settlement's Weevils! It's HUGE!

Gotta watch out for the feints, and knock it down before it calls for help!

Whoa, that's a nice crossbow! Maybe I should try new weapons sometime…

Tough bite, too. We can't give him a chance to use all his attacks!

This guy's bonkers... He's got a cannon on his head!

We just have to show them we're a much stronger team!

This Spider...just gets scarier the more I look at it. But I'm not going to run away this time!

I'll knock it out of the sky whenever it climbs up its web.

Let's beat it up and get that treasure!

S-So big... That's one ugly face!

But it kinda smells like pollen. It's really distracting... Gah! Leif, just hit it already!

Malbee wasn't kidding on orientation day. This thing's super tough!

I'm gonna hit it tons of times, so it comes crashing down!

Why can't we ever just grab the artifact? There's always gotta be a creepy, giant, or creepy giant monster!

We're super close to the Sapling. I'm not gonna let you stop me!

Kabbu, calm down! Or you're gonna get hurt! ...Or get us hurt!

What do I do? It's super strong... Guess I'll just have to do what I do best. Beat it up!

Grr! We don't have time for this! We've gotta get to the Wasp King!

For a general, this guy's really weak... I'll beat up everyone else first!

That's NOT FAIR! You can't just...you can't just hop on whatever that is!

What's the Beemerang gonna do against that...? G-Guys, help me out!

Eep! I almost got eaten... This thing ain't messing around!

She keeps spitting Chompers out... I think I'm gonna beat her up first!

Ow! Sto--...! S-Stop it! I'm tired of getting numbed!

Grr... We gotta stop the small ones from attacking so we can take care of this one!

...Leif...I dunno what's going on, but it's gonna be okay!

This thing's nothing like you! So let's defeat it together!

GRR! So YOU'RE the source of all those dumb Seedlings!

Oi, I'm talking to you! Stop spawning more!

...They just keep coming. We've gotta finish this fast!

B-Back off! I'm not your afternoon snack! Get ready to get sunk!

That tail's super buff, but it really does a number if we knock it down!

Cha-ka-cha-ka-cha-ka… Bleh! Stop doing that! It's getting annoying!

And the shaking keeps making the others strong... We've gotta focus this guy down!

Eep! That thing's huge! And poisonous! ...And HUNGRY! And it's got friends!

This sucks! We've gotta beat it before we all get eaten!

Y-You can't scare me! You're just a bunch of Mothflies under a coat!

It's charging up! Leif, we've gotta block it!

What, you get called out and you come at us with a stick!?

Like that'd work on something like a Spider... Just give up already!

Oi, you can't solve your problems throwing rocks at us!

...I didn't say that so you'd build a wall! ...Whatever, the Beemerang goes around it…

We've got that jerk right where we want him! But yikes... That umbrella hurts a lot!

And it heals him too! It's super annoying... We'll have to go all out!

You're in big trouble, Kabbu! I'm super mad!

...B-But I don't wanna hurt you! I need to think of another way!

I'm sorry about the vase, but you're going too far! Give Kabbu back!

Maybe if I knock her around a bit, she'll stop dancing and start listening!

L-Look, we didn't know your room was here! We're sorry!

...All of her attacks are kinda random, so I don't know what to expect. Hope we get lucky!

Oi! For once, we don't wanna fight! Just stop hitting us! Grr…

Those bombs can rack up damage fast. We'll have to plan around them!

Alright! It's time to show you how much we've grown since the test!

Guys, when we hit Maki...Kina gets like, super mad. Who should we target first...?

W-Whoa, I thought Kina was just getting carried by Maki all this time! She's super fast!

It's gonna take some practice, but if we're gonna take this beating then we've gotta Super Block!

How's she so strong!? She's like, just barely an adult! N-Not stronger than me, though.

She's got a lot of annoying magic and items! Sorry Maki, but she's gonna go down!

Heheh. Leave it to me, guys! I'll buzz around hi-WOAH!

H-He's so fast, what the heck!? That's not fair when he's so bulky!

A bazooka!? Did you get that from Shades!? It's full of bombs!

Woah, that's a sticky bomb! We can't use items if that hits, they cost a fortune!

What the heck is that? Is that even a bug!? Dead Landers creep me out…

It's got all sorta poisons, and it can dig! Leif, be ready to bring it out!

Yeugh! What is this slimy stuff it's spitting!? GROSS!

No matter how much I hit it, it's not coming down...guess it's up to me!

I dunno what's scarier, this or the thing that dropped it... M-Maybe we should flee?

That claw's super scary, but the spores are trouble too! We gotta be careful!

You're gonna pay for that invasion! Your plans are super over!

The fire still hurts a bit, but we can take it now! Time to show him what Team Snakemouth's made of!

You dumb jerk! You've caused my friends too much trouble! We're gonna save everyone!

I'll get the flying artifacts down... I trust you guys with your parts!
