Termite Kingdom

1. Ant Tunnel

[Overworld Spy]

Leif: So the Ants just managed to tunnel all the way here?

Kabbu: So it seems. They are dangerously close to the Termites though…

Vi: Eh, if they stay clear from the dome it'll be fine!

Diana

Mines Ant

[during story]

Miner Ant: The Termites won't allow us inside the city…

Miner: I suppose this is the farthest we can build this tunnel to.

[postcanon]

Miner Ant: We can finally go into the city but...my shift's still here. *Sigh*.

Common amber dialogue

[Spy Amber]

Kabbu: Bringing miners, and even Ms. Amber to such a dangerous place…

Kabbu: Sometimes, I wonder if the Queen considers the dangers of her requests!

Leif: We're sure she does. But it's still something that needs to get done...

2. Outside

[Overworld Spy]

Vi: The Termites live here? Really?

Leif: Not the most inviting of entrances, that's for sure.

Kabbu: Do not judge, my friends. Some of the most astounding technology lays beneath this dome!

Vi: You can be smart and look ugly, you know…

Kabbu: That's not what I...*Sigh*

[Story, ch6]

Poi: You're here, good.

Cross: You're free to go in. But Ant Queen... I'd suggest you go directly to the castle.

Cross: It's straight ahead from the plaza. The less people see you, the less fuss there will be.

Elizant: I understand. We thank you once more.

Poi: We've had many years of peace. Don't make us regret letting you in.

Kabbu: (To treat a Queen in that manner…)

Cross: Behave yourselves while in the dome...

[Spy Cross, and any guards with his sprite]

Leif: The guards in this kingdom are varied, huh. In shape and all.

Vi: This one seems super bulky! Like Kabbu!

Kabbu: I'm going to take this compliment.

Leif: They seem well versed in the use of long ranged weapons, too.

Leif: Even if they've had peace, they're not eager to see it threatened.

Poi: We're watching over you so no funny business!

[Spy Poi, and any guards with his sprite]

Leif: The guards in this kingdom are varied, huh. In shape and all.

Kabbu: I've heard this kind of Termite holds a potent cannon in its head!

Vi: They're BORN with a cannon? Why do Bees get like, one tiny stinger!?

(minibubble) Kabbu: (I...I like my horn...and digging...)

3. Main Plaza

[Story, ch6, first entrance]

Elizant: Team Snakemouth, your job is complete. Thank you for your service.

Elizant: I hope you'll meet me at the table for the negotiations.

Vi: See you there, Lisa!

Elizant: ...Yes, see you there.

Leif: Did you really just call the Ant Queen "Lisa"?

Kabbu: It's too informal!

Vi: You two gotta learn to relax! Let's look around and catch up!

Guard: Behave yourself while inside the city!

Guard: If you want to leave just go through this gate here.

[Overworld Spy]

Leif: The Bee Kingdom's also inside a structure, but it feels way more oppressive in here.

Vi: Well, duh. My Kingdom's full of paint and happy stuff. This city's all dull!

Kabbu: Some bugs are born in such a place, and don't get to see the lush Bugarian Outskirts…

Leif: Most Termites don't like sunlight, we hear. So they probably don't mind this.

Vi: Some bugs are really weird. It's that culture thing, I guess.

Rose: ...I have a friend that lives in the Forsaken Lands…

Rose: She is really shy, and hides herself beyond the dense fog.

Rose: I should visit sometime soon.

[Spy Rose]

Leif: We wonder if those scarves are the fashion around here.

Vi: Most likely. I don't like them much, though.

Kabbu: If you want, Leif, we could look around and buy you one.

Leif: No, thank you. We were just wondering.

[before talking to the king and queen]

Termite: Wait, wait wait! Is that the Ant Queen?!

Termite: O. M. G! Can't wait to tell my friends on the Termanet about the incoming war!

[after talking to the king and queen, before doing colosseum]

Termite: What's that? You lot are going to take on the Colosseum?

Termite: Ha! Tough luck! Our soldiers will destroy you, and we will record it and share all over the Termanet!

Termite: Can't wait to text my friends about this!

[after winning the Colosseum]

Termite: Ah! You're the Colosseum champions!

Termite: I was always rooting for you! Please, sign me up an autograph so I can brag to all my friends at the Termanet!

[Spy Termite]

Kabbu: ...TermaNet?

Vi: No clue.

Leif: Seems to be a technology unique to this land. For communication.

Vi: We should tell H.B. about it!

Kabbu: (I...I don't get how it works.)

Tarar: Work work work... So much work... So little time...

[Spy Tarar]

Kabbu: S-Sir! Please, sit down for a bit!

Vi: He's super ignoring you.

Leif: Overworking's global, huh.

Kabbu: You can't work if you collapse! Sir, please listen to meeeee!

Vi: Kabbu's nagging's global too...

Reading Clerk: Hello. Welcome to the T-Mart. What will it be?

Textbox: We're here to buy.

We're here to sell.

Just browsing.

[Spy Reading Clerk]

Vi: Malbee would stomp her if she read on the job at the factory!

Kabbu: This store seems mostly automated, so she mustn't have much to do.

Leif: That's worrying... Will there be a shop with no one running it at some point?

Kabbu: Silly Leif. Gadgets could never replace our fellow bug!

Clerk 2: Tch. I'm tired of DineMite, but cooking's such a drag...

[Spy Clerk 2]

Kabbu: The Termite Kingdom's quite impressive, but all this store food makes me miss Fry's cooking.

Leif: Machines can't really match Kut's expertise.

Vi: Or Crisbee's baking! Um, guess we know where to go after the mission.

Self checkout machine: Beep Beep. |string,0|. |currency,var,1|.Will you take it?

Textbox: Yes

No

[before winning in Colosseum]

Boris: What a dull existence. I need news. More news... I must fix this board...

[Spy Boris, before board is repaired]

Kabbu: So this rectangular gadget provides swift news to the populace?

Vi: Or uh, it did. Guess it's not working right now…

Guard: Normally outsiders aren't allowed in the Royal Chamber.

Guard: You have come with the Ant Queen, so you're an exception.

Guard: Still, behave yourselves in front of the Queen and King!

Guard: Ahead is the Royal Chamber, mind your manners in there.

Guard: We won't hesitate in throwing you out the door.

Dan: These lands have a unique fruit. The Termites call it a "Squash".

Dan: They are harvested from the Plumplings that roam around the wilds.

Dan: Cooking it by itself is already good, but mixing it up with Flour makes something really great.

Dan: What if one mixed a Squash with some defense boosting ingredient?

Dan: My appetite flares up just thinking about it…

[Spy Dan]

Leif: This guy is even here…

Vi: Where there is food, there he is.

Kabbu: You have to admire his dedication to his culinary quest.

Termite: They don't have DineMite in your town? Wow, how do you EAT!?

[Spy Termite]

Vi: Is it uh, healthy to just eat one food?

Leif: Delicious as it may be, we reckon it's not.

Kabbu: We don't even know what's in it...!

Termite: I lost a bet and ended up having to wear this. I've really grown to like it, though!

[Spy Termite]

Kabbu: Hm. I quite dig this fellow's style.

Vi: He looks lame. You've got bad taste.

(minibubble) Kabbu: Oof...

Leif: Respectfully, Vi? You don't know the first thing about fashion.

(minibubble) Vi: Hey!

Server: Welcome to DineMite! Your one stop for fresh, delicious, quality food!

Server: Our MiteBurger's 15 berries. Sounds good, don't it?

Textbox: Mite Burger - 15 berries

Spicy Fries - 12 berries

We'll come back.

[Spy Server]

Vi: DineMite's the cheapest place around! And yum!

Leif: We cannot help but pity this poor worker.

Kabbu: The conditions don't seem too bad?

Leif: It's the music! We'd go insane after a few hours!

Vi: When you put it that way... At least I know how to annoy you now!

Leif: Don't. We'll freeze your mouth.

Kabbu: This place makes you cranky... Let's order and get out!

Samira

[Spy Samira]

Leif: Samira's doing well enough to afford an escort here, huh.

Vi: Hard work always pays off!

[examine posters]

Vi: What's THIS poster doing here!?

Leif: Kabbu, you said they were isolationist.

Kabbu: It's, uh, complicated. You can get in, so long as you're not an Ant.

Kabbu: But it's still a long process. Her idol status could've helped?

Vi: I don't get politics...

Guard: Down this path is the Colosseum and the pier, feel free to visit them.

[after winning in the Colosseum]

Boris: I have successfully connected the main board with all help boards across Bugaria.

Boris: With this, we can finally see all those who are in need…

[Spy Boris, after board is repaired]

Kabbu: So this rectangular gadget provides swift news to the populace?

Vi: No need to wait for the guards to change the leaves!

Leif: This bug seems addicted to the flux of information.

Kabbu: Let's hope the screen doesn't get broken again anytime soon...

[examine board]

Boris: Do you want to take on that request?

Textbox: Yes

No

[Quest: Can’t Sleep…!]

[first talk]

Tarar: H-hey. You took my request...didn't you...?!

Kabbu: Indeed. What seems to be troubling you?

Tarar: I haven't been able to sleep well for a while... And it is starting to affect my work performance!

Tarar: But I cannot stop! I-I must work, or else...!!

Vi: Geez, you gotta learn to take it slow, dude!

Tarar: I can't! I must…

Leif: Look, maybe we can deal with your sleep issues first. Any clues on what it can be?

Tarar: ...Y-yes. I have heard that if you mix something that can cause sleep with flour, it can make a special recipe that allows anyone to sleep well!

Tarar: I love sweets, so maybe you can get one of those for me?

Kabbu: It is worth a try. We will come back if we find anything.

[talk again]

Tarar: H-hey! Did you bake the sweets?

[incorrect item/exit out]

Tarar: G-geez... Did you forget what it was? It was some sleeping thing with flour...

[Give Drowsy Cake]

Tarar: Y-yes! ...But wait!

Tarar: What if I eat one of those and oversleep...?!

Vi: Look, it's what you wanted. You can't just ask for more stuff in the same job!

Tarar: But I cannot miss work! Wait, I know!

Tarar: I heard there is a way to make some shocking candy with electric stuff and flour!

Leif: Uh, are you sure that's safe to consume?

Tarar: If I eat both this cake and the shocking thing, maybe…

Tarar: I'll be able to sleep for one second and be shocked awake right after!

Vi: That doesn't make any sense!

Kabbu: W-we'll see what we can do about that. Please wait a little more…

(minibubble) Vi: Seriously!?

[talk again]

Tarar: Do you have the shocking thing?

[exit out]

Tarar: Come on... I need to sleep or I will go crazy! But I can't just sleep like this!

[give incorrect item]

Tarar: That doesn't look too appetizing... It needs to be some shocking candy!

[give Shock Candy]

Tarar: Ah! That looks good! I will try this right when I go to bed!

Vi: So... Will you give us the reward or not?

Tarar: Yes, thanks! It's not much, but it might help you!

Tarar: I hope my work efficiency improves after this, maybe I will finally get that promotion!

Leif: Heavens, we hope they don't promote you into more work…

Kabbu: I'm so worried...

[talk again]

Tarar: Hopefully my work performance will increase! If not, at least the sweets were nice...

[end of quest-related dialogue]

[after completing Best Friend in the Fog!]

[before going once already]

Rose: Ah, you've been to where my friend is, haven't you?

Rose: I was thinking about going there myself right now... Would you like me to show you the way?

[after having already gone]

Rose: Hello there. Do you want to come with me to visit my friend again?

Textbox: Yes

No

4. Royal Chamber

[Overworld Spy]

Leif: Now this is a better mood.

Kabbu: My eyes appreciate the light! But I do wonder...did their throne have to be in the last floor?

Vi: Well, duh. It's the throne. Come on, Kabbu!

Guard: I'm watching you…

Servant: Hey! It's rare that we get outsiders here!

Servant: ...Wait, you're with the Ants?

Servant: ...Oh, look at the time! I must go...

Servant: We are the Queen's caretakers!

Servant: It's...a heavy task.

[Spy Servants]

Leif: How adorable. The Queen's got lovely servants.

Kabbu: I've seen the things they can carry! It betrays their small body!

Vi: Woah. I've GOT to see that!

[examine statue]

Leif: That's a weeeeeird statue.

Kabbu: I cannot decipher what the artist wished to convey...!

(minibubble) Vi: Whatever.

[Story, ch6]

Elizant: …

Leif: Um, Queen?

Elizant: Team Snakemouth.

Vi: You gonna go in?

Elizant: ...…

Elizant: I'm a bit nervous.

Leif: It's not often a Queen's the one requesting an audience.

Elizant: If only it was just that. I cannot help but think that if I fail, we are all doomed.

Kabbu: Queen, y-

Poi: So the report was true... To think someone like you would come here.

Cross: Our royals will now grace you. Don't pull anything funny.

Elizant: ...Let's go.

Hector: Oh my lovely, the guards just handed me a most jolly report!

Layra: Is that so? What is it, dear?

Hector: They said a visitor that will surprise us has arrived! They should be here soon!

Layra: Oh, my dear! It really is…

Hector: …

Hector: ........

Hector: YOU!!!

Hector: How DARE you walk into my hall, and break the moons long separation of our people?!

Elizant: Your eminences…

Hector: That is KING Hector IV and Queen Layra II for you, Ant!

Elizant: My apologies, King Hector. Queen Layra.

Hector: HECTOR IV! Not HECTOR!

(minibubble) Elizant: ...

Layra: Dear, watch yourself. You'll faint from disgust.

Hector: ...What is your business!?

(minibubble) Hector: What?

Elizant: I won't mince words nor play around the issue. The Ant Kingdom has been raided by the Wasps.

Elizant: My people have been hurt, and the artifacts of old have been taken…

Layra: The artifacts? So you did find them after so much struggle…

Hector: And then you incompetently lost them!

Elizant: ...Indeed. The Wasp King holds power I had never witnessed.

Elizant: Even my loyal knights, Vi, Kabbu and Leif, had a hard time with the Wasp King.

Vi: Nice to meet you!

Kabbu: I-It is my honor.

(minibubble) Leif: Sup.

Hector: Hmph, threw away that Maki of yours?

Elizant: He was injured in the attack. It would have not been prudent for him to come.

Layra: Such a varied team... It seems just about anyone can get into Bugaria nowadays.

Vi: What's that supposed to mean?

Leif: Vi, you've gotta shut it this once.

(minibubble) Vi: Hmph.

Hector: What's it to us, then? You ruled poorly, and got your trinkets stolen.

Layra: You presume we should worry? As if our great defenses would be felled by some Wasps.

Layra: This dome of ours has survived storms without a single scratch.

Elizant: You truly think so? That the Wasp King, who's found the magic of flame…

Elizant: And will soon obtain the full power of the Everlasting Sapling, shall be of no threat to you?

Layra: F-Flame, you say?

Hector: That sapling is a darn myth, that drove your mother insane!

Hector: Oh, how many more moons we could have had with her, if she hadn't been so obsessed!

Elizant: It is NOT a myth!

Hector: Watch your tone, Ant!

Elizant: We found the mask, the tablet and the key. Or were those myths as well?!

Elizant: The King is heading towards the Giant's Lair, an area none dare to tread!

Elizant: He would lead a crazed army towards such a place based on simple hearsay? Open your eyes!

(minibubble) Hector: ...

(minibubble) Layra: ...

Elizant: You think I would travel the wasteland personally, and bear brunt to your crass tone…

Elizant: If all of Bugaria wasn't facing great peril? You think of me so pathetically!?

Elizant: I accepted and respected our treaty, after our negotiations turned sour.

Elizant: I am not asking you to change your mind in that regard…

Elizant: But if you care for your people, you won't turn a blind eye to the danger heading our way!?

Hector: Grr…

Layra: Dear, calm yourself. You're being blinded by the past.

Hector: You can't truly mean she's swayed you!

Layra: Ants are unrefined in many ways... They cannot match our intellect either.

Layra: But they do not yield under pressure, and work very hard. It is nature's way.

Layra: I know you speak the truth, Queen Elizant II.

Hector: Layra, you were always too soft!

Layra: And you too stubborn. That's why I am by your side.

Hector: ...…

Hector: ...What would you ask of us?

Elizant: Although it would be for the best for our nations to try and reconcile…

Elizant: Right now, what we need is a way to head towards the Giant's Lair.

Leif: A way to cross the sea.

Layra: Dear, weren't the scientists…

Hector: You mean that? You'd TRUST them with that?!

Layra: Oh, it's missing just a few touches. It'd be a fun test ride.

(minibubble) Hector: *grumble*

Elizant: Will you help us, then, in protecting Bugaria?

Hector: I'm not convinced!

(minibubble) Layra: Dear...

Hector: You say your knights lost to that puny Wasp? You think our soldiers wouldn't match up?

Hector: I wish for proof of the enemy's strength.

Leif: We do not think you'd wish for their visit upon your kingdom…

Hector: That still needs some time to be completed.

Hector: Before then, I would have you participate in our ancient tradition.

Layra: Ah... The Colosseum!

Kabbu: You'd have us fight for sport?

Vi: That's my type of diplomacy!

(minibubble) Kabbu: Vi...

Hector: If your people best our brave warriors, then we might be in a real pickle.

Hector: Your knights will face off in glorious combat, and then I shall decide!

Elizant: You won't let me join them?

Layra: I would like for you and I to discuss some other matters as the fight goes on...if you don't mind.

Kabbu: Leave it to us, my Queen! We'll do well!

Leif: Mhm. They'll see we're not joking around.

Vi: It's been a while since a public smackdown!

Hector: You will find the Colosseum around the residential district of our kingdom.

Hector: Do not dally. Your kingdom is against the clock, after all.

Layra: We'll start the ceremony shortly after you arrive.

Layra: I hope you can provide a good show!

Elizant: My apologies, Team Snakemouth. But I will be counting on you.

Elizant: Do not fail!

Kabbu: You can count on us, your majesty!

Vi: Let's go to the Colosseum!

Elizant: I shall discuss some matters with Queen Layra. I'm counting on you!

[Spy Elizant]

Vi: She really shut that king up!

Kabbu: Her words had me nervous...I'm glad we've been given a chance.

Leif: She's no Elizant, but...we're warming up to Lisa a bit.

Guard: Watch yourselves in front of our Royals!

Guard: You better behave...or I will bite your heads right off!

Hector: ...Don't dwadle! The Colosseum is at the residential area, you can't miss it!

[Spy Hector]

Vi: He's sure packing a lot of anger for a short guy!

Leif: Really? YOU'd make short jokes? At a KING?

Vi: I never get to! I've gotta take the chance!

Kabbu: Just uh, make sure he doesn't sic the guards on you...

Layra: We hope you provide a great entertaining show for us!

[Spy Layra]

Vi: The Queen is um...big.

Kabbu: That is not a matter we should discuss here. It's very sensitive!

Leif: They both seemed to have met the previous Queen. So they must be very old as well.

Leif: Or Termites just live longer, who knows…

Kabbu: That's the beauty of our people. We're the same, but so unique!

[story, ch6, after Colosseum]

Elizant: Team Snakemouth. I've heard of your exploits. You bring honor to our kingdom!

Leif: Oh yes. That's what we're here for.

Hector: Grumble...

Layra: Oh sweetie. You've got to get over it.

Hector: GRUMBLE...

Layra: I'll start, then.

Layra: We acknowledge your plight. The Termite Kingdom stands much to lose over this issue.

Layra: Our finest engineers have been working on a prototype vehicle.

Layra: It is able to operate and travel under the water. It should be just what you need.

Hector: We call it the Subaquatic Maritime Neotransport! We're very proud of it.

Layra: Ehm, I like to call it Submarine for short.

Hector: Subaquatic Maritime Neotransport! Layra, you are undermining me!

Elizant: I thank both of you from the bottom of my heart. Our people will be able to fight back now.

Vi: Um, so it goes under the water? W-What if it breaks?

Hector: It is impossible for it to sink! It is our most advanced machine!

Kabbu: ...Err, yes. But what if it does?

Elizant: It shall not. On my name! Please don't think with such cynicism.

Leif: Alright then. Very reassuring.

Hector: Sigh. It's stationed at the pier, in the rightmost part of the city.

Layra: Our head of research should be there to explain how it functions.

Elizant: Excellent. We shall draw it to the Outskirt Pier, to make sure everything is in order.

Layra: ...And, Queen Elizant.

Elizant: Yes?

Layra: If you'll have them, please let some of our people travel with you. They are eager to see your land.

Kabbu: ...! You will cease the separation?

Layra: Only for now. A small step. We'll purchase a bit of land, see how things go…

(minibubble) Hector: I can't handle this...

Elizant: Queen Layra, King Hector IV...I...I am very grateful. For everything. We are in your eternal debt.

(minibubble) Hector: Finally...

Hector: You better repay it when the time comes! Or else!

Leif: She will. Our Queen is honest and honorable.

Elizant: Thank you, Leif. To have earned your backing is most pleasing.

Hector: Please, go and make haste.

Hector: ...And protect Bugaria. Don't make me regret any of this.

Layra: We're counting on you, after all.

Elizant: I shall go ahead and check on the submarine. Please meet me at the pier whenever you are ready.

Hector: Be careful with the Subaquatic Maritime Neotransport! It is the only prototype we have.

Hector: But I doubt some Wasps can even scratch it!

Layra: The submarine is at the pier. Feel free to board it at any time!

[after using submarine]

Hector: Ah...how did you like the Subaquatic Maritime Neotransport?

Hector: Pretty neat, if I do say so myself!

Layra: Good luck on your exploring!

[postcanon]

Hector: Hrmph. I...I…

Hector: Thank you...for helping us.

Layra: We're most grateful for everything you did.

Layra: Please, do feel at home in our Kingdom!

5. Industrial

[Overworld Spy]

Vi: Awesome! They've got conveyors on the floor!

Leif: Very convenient. A lot of Termites must move about daily here.

Kabbu: The air is thicker here... Is it fog or smoke?

Vi: There's a lot of pipes and stuff. Probably smoke.

Leif: We hope their researchers aren't taking air for granted…

Layna: Nero...why have you wandered so far from me?

Layna: Coming of age rites be darned, what will I do if something happens to you?

[Spy Layna]

Leif: What a warm glow.

Kabbu: I've never seen anything like this! Could she be one of the 10 sorcerers?

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

Leif: Ice magic sucks. We want to glow in the dark.

Kabbu: For the sake of our missions, please keep the ice magic…

[Hotel Elevator]

Textbox: Which floor would you like to go to?

Textbox: Roof

2F

1F

Hotel Clerk: Oh! Welcome! This is the Dome Hotel. A night is 5 berries per bug, so 15 for you three! Will you stay?

Textbox: Yes

No

[talk after sleeping]

Clerk: I hope you had a pleasant nap. Come back soon!

[Spy Hotel Clerk]

Vi: 15 berries!? Why is it so expensive!?

Leif: Maybe there's higher demand?

Kabbu: At least we've made good savings during our journeys, so…

Vi: Just 'cuz we're richer doesn't mean we should be spending more!!!

Stickbug: I came all the way from the Golden Settlement.

Stickbug: It wasn't fun getting lost in the Forsaken Lands, but it was worth it to see everything the city has to offer!

Ladybug: The city is nice and all but I wish it was...less gray, y'know?

Butterfly: Oh, new roommates? That machine over there can combine items if you want.

Butterfly: It doesn't taste as good as something prepared by a chef, but it gets the job done.

[Spy any of the three in the hotel]

Vi: Even the Termites get tourists? Wasn't this uh, iso...isole…

Leif: Isolationist.

Kabbu: It's a rough trip, but only Ants were truly banned from this kingdom.

Vi: Good thing our team's not banned anywhere!

Textbox: It seems you can cook with this machine. Would you like to put something in?

Textbox: Yes

No

Tennent: .........

[Spy Tennent]

Leif: Careful, everyone. We may be cut just by standing near this dude.

Kabbu: He does seem very uh, sharp and volatile.

Vi: You're scared of a random guy after all the stuff we've beat up!?

Kabbu: Let us please stay away, alright? I'm tired of random fights...

Termite: Got a berry to spare?

Textbox: Yes

No

[talk again after giving]

Termite: ...May the blessings of our ancestors be with you.

[Spy Termite]

Vi: …

Leif: What, you don't take kindly to beggars?

Vi: If I want berries, I go and earn them!

Vi: ...But he looks like he can't, it must be rough…

Kabbu: Vi... Let's share what we can!

(minibubble) Vi: Yeah!

Guard: Everything seems to be in order here. Keep it that way, will you?

Guard: Keep going down this path to reach the Colosseum, the conveyors should make the trip short.

Sign: Colosseum AHEAD! Challengers, please register at the front desk!

[after talking to Doppel]

Common Delilah and Stratos Spy

[first talk]

Stratos: Hey. Fancy meeting you here.

Kabbu: Stratos! Delilah! What are you doing here?

Delilah: We were examining the old ruins at the corners of the Forsaken Lands!

Delilah: Way back in Bugaria's beginnings, they say Ants camped there on the way to what would become the Ant Kingdom.

Leif: Oh, we've heard of that. They abandoned that area pretty quickly. The Forsaken Lands were too harsh.

Stratos: Mhm. It seems a weird tribe of bugs has set foot in there now.

Stratos: It was quite unsettling how they stared at us without saying anything... So we left.

Delilah: Yeah, be careful if you happen to wander near there! Those bugs smell like trouble!

Vi: How do you even get there anyway? N-Not because we're planning to go or anything.

Delilah: There's this place with many strong wind currents...it should be west from there.

Delilah: ...Seriously, though. Be careful near that place.

Kabbu: We will not carelessly ignore your warnings. Thank you for the information!

[talk again]

Stratos: You should pack up before you leave to the old city.

Stratos: I get a really bad feeling about that place.

Delilah: To reach the old city you just need to keep going west.

Delilah: Be careful, though! Those bugs there are real weirdos!

Termite: So I was born to be a soldier? Not buying it. I hate fighting…

[Spy Termite]

Vi: If he doesn't wanna fight, he shouldn't!

Leif: Thought you were all about smackdowns.

Vi: But I LIKE smackdowns! I do them 'cuz I want to!

Kabbu: I too, believe we should all choose our fate.

Leif: It's easier now than it was back then, let us tell you that.

Guard: Yet another explosion-free day!

Apprentice: The bomb master is a very busy bug! Just be done with your purchase and leave!

[Spy Apprentice]

Leif: This shop doesn't have the most welcoming staff, does it?

Kabbu: They're quite reserved despite selling such explosive items…

Vi: Eh, it's whatever. A deal's a deal!

Takkun: Hello there. Have you ever heard of these creatures called "Seedlings"?

Takkun: They exist all over Bugaria and beyond, and they adapt easily to their surroundings, so many subspecies of them exist!

Takkun: I'd love to catalogue them all, but I am so busy here I cannot leave...

[Spy Takkun]

Vi: Who'd ever wanna research dumb Seedlings?

Leif: First of all, they're adorable.

Kabbu: Don't forget, what we take for granted is most exotic to them!

Fit: Hu-ha! Ha-Hu! Domination~!

[Spy Fit]

Kabbu: What determination! She won't stop!

Leif: Let's go, Kabbu! HU-HA! HA-HU! DOMINATION~!

Kabbu: N-NGH! H-HE'S TOO FAST! BUT I...I WILL NOT LOSE!

(minibubble) Vi: ...Ok.

Termite: Sometimes I wonder what is beyond this dome…

Termite: To see what the sky really looks like...

[Spy Termite]

Vi: What's he looking at? It's just the dome ceiling.

Leif: Some call it day-dreaming, Vi.

Vi: Oh, it's like when I think of being super rich and famous!

Kabbu: Err, yes. Let's go with that.

Vi: I hope his dreams come true. Mine sure are!

Leif: (You're not half-bad sometimes.)

[examine balcony to colosseum, first time]

Kabbu: The Colosseum is MASSIVE! Even the Anthill Palace does not quite reach this scale.

Leif: Such a large building, just to celebrate fighting…

Vi: What's wrong with that? Showing off your cool moves is great!

Kabbu: I guess it'd depend on how willing the fighters are…

Leif: Elizant...we wonder what your thoughts on this building were?

[subsequent examinations]

Textbox: The Colosseum, one of the Termite Kingdom's most important locations.

Yatana: Brother! You mustn't forget your lunch this time!

Yatana’s Brother: Hmph. Worry not, this time I won't forget!

(minibubble) Yatana: Uh huh.

[Spy Yatana]

Vi: There's already guards here. What's his job supposed to be?

Leif: Probably a cleaner, after all the fighting.

Kabbu: He could help carry in supplies, too!

Vi: Boooooring.

[Spy Yatana’s Brother]

Kabbu: I can't believe someone can forget to eat!

Leif: Mhm.

Vi: Yup.

Kabbu: ...Anyways, let's go.

Guard: Welcome to the Colosseum! Will we crown our 24th champion today!?

Guard: Outsiders, huh? Came to watch a Colosseum match? Didn't know it was that popular.

Fuzzo: Harumph...the Termite market demands many different things.

Fuzzo: We'll have to study more to make a profit here...

[Spy Fuzzo]

Leif: You've gotta respect their commitment to trade.

Vi: Well, making a profit's hard work!

Kabbu: I'm just glad the snail made it here safely...

Terrie’s sister: Sigh... No matter what I do lately, Terrie just won't smile!

(minibubble) Terrie: *Grumble*

[Spy Terrie’s sister]

Leif: This society is advanced, but it seems some bugs do struggle.

Kabbu: Is it just part of industrialization?

Vi: Or they're super competitive!

Kabbu: ...Rather than discuss their situation, let's try to improve it!

[first talk]

Terrie: What're you looking at?

Kabbu: You seem to be upset. I was wondering if I could help you?

Terrie: No. You can't. Scram.

Kabbu: W-Wait, I…

Terrie’s sister: Don't mind her. She's been so cranky!

Terrie’s sister: You'd have to be some sort of Colosseum hero just to make her look at you.

Leif: A bit cranky, eh Vi.

Vi: What, you tryin' to say something?

Kabbu: ...A hero...

[subsequent talks, before beating Colosseum]

Terrie: ...

[Spy Terrie]

Kabbu: That child looks so...disheartened.

Leif: Go, Kabbu. Don't let us stop you.

Vi: Don't take toooooo long!

[after winning in the Colosseum]

Guard: You beat Poi and Cross!? I can't believe I missed that...

Guard: Woah. Never expected tourists to be the 24th champions!

Yatana: Argh! I can't believe it! He left without his lunch AGAIN!

Yatana: Finding him will be a pain...

[After beating Coliseum]

[Spy Tynn, before talking]

Kabbu: Haven't we seen her somewhere?

Vi: Uh, maybe? I dunno…

Leif: Hmm...HMM...

[first talk]

Tynn: This service could be so much better...sigh. Can't I do anything else?

Kabbu: You seem...familiar. Have we met before?

Vi: Never seen a Termite before coming here, so…

Leif: ...Oh, you're from that sign at the inn.

Tynn: Pardon me? The inn? Could you mean the inn in Defiant Root?

Kabbu: Right! You do bear a heavy resemblance!

Tynn: He didn't take the sign down? That guy…

Vi: Why'd you come here? Doesn't seem much cooler.

Tynn: I wanted to offer a genuine, warm inn experience in this kingdom.

Tynn: But a lot of tourists want something different, like an apartment.

Tynn: Ironically, many come to enjoy our grey skies... So business struggles.

Tynn: I've set a colleague to run it for me, and it's like I'm not even needed.

Vi: Why not go back?

Tynn: …

Leif: Doesn't seem like you're happy here, and you're missed there.

Kabbu: And if you'd allow me to intrude - missed a lot!

Tynn: ......You're right. I really was a fool…

Tynn: I had everything I ever wanted, and I left it for this whim of mine.

Tynn: I've heard the Ant Kingdom's doing escorts. I think I'll take the first trip back!

Leif: We'll see you back at Defiant Root, maybe.

Kabbu: (He's going to be jolly!)

[talk again]

Tynn: Thank you for reaching out. This must have been fate...

[Spy Tynn, after talking]

Kabbu: (Let's drop by Defiant Root soon...!)

[first talk]

Vi: Woah, you travelled all the way here!?

Kenny: Well, what's a journey without some risk?

Kenny: I don't regret it. The Termite Kingdom has a very different vibe.

Kenny: It's technological and convenient, but it feels a bit lonely…

Kabbu: Have you found what you were looking for, Kenny?

Kenny: ...Yeah. I'm satisfied at having seen this beautiful world.

Leif: Where will you stay, in the end?

Kenny: Let's say the end's at the beginning.

Vi: Uh, we'll see you there, then?

Kenny: Yeah. I'll head there after I visit the Coliseum. I hope we'll meet again.

[talk again]

Kenny: The Ant Tunnels sound quite convenient. Sadly, I'm not a certified explorer...

Common Kenny spy

Leaves in Apartment: I'm off to investigate those mysterious Mothflies. Should be back before dinner!

[Quest: In Search of Paint...]

[first talk]

Tennent: ......…

Kabbu: Uh...excuse us…

Tennent: ....…

Leif: We heard you have the blackest paint. We're interested in that.

Tennent: ......I have no business with you. Scram, if you know what's better for you.

Vi: Eep! B-but we need the paint!

Tennent: ......…

Kabbu: Uh, let's leave him alone, team…

Leif: We need the paint, Kabbu.

Kabbu: I know, but it doesn't seem like we can get it now…

Kabbu: Let's ask Artia what to do and come back later...

[subsequent talks, before getting note]

Tennent: ......…

Kabbu: Let's ask Artia what to do and come back later...

[talk with note]

Tennent: .........

[talk after giving note]

Tennent: ...We no longer have any business between us. Leave.

[end of quest-related dialogue]

[Quest: Best Friend in the Fog!]

Vi: Hiya! You're Layna, right?

Layna: Huh? Who are you?

Kabbu: We're Team Snakemouth. We've come to aid in your request.

Layna: Really? I didn't expect anyone to take notice of it so quickly! Thank you!

Leif: You lost your pet, right? Hits close to home. We'll get it back to you.

Layna: Nero doesn't trust others. If you find him, he will flee quite quickly.

Layna: ...So I'll go with you. Without making sure he's safe, I can't go home on good conscience.

Kabbu: Are you sure of this? The Forsaken Lands are quite dangerous!

Layna: It's the only way. I know I'm asking a lot, but…

Vi: It'll be fine! Nothing we can't handle!

Layna: Thank you, once again.

Kabbu: Is there any place Nero likes to run off too?

Layna: Well, south of the pumpkin patch, there's a place Nero really likes.

Layna: Do you know where that is?

Leif: Yeah, we went across it while coming here. Shall we depart?

Layna: Mhm. Let's go.

[after finishing quest]

Layna: I'm itching to visit the Colosseum. It's the only landmark I've got left here.

Layna: It may be a bit too violent for Nero, though...

Nero: Nibu!

[end of quest-related dialogue]

[Quest: Lunch Delivery!]

[first talk]

Yatana: Ah. You're the Ant Kingdom explorers that beat the Colosseum!

Kabbu: Heheh, yes! We saw your request. Your brother left without lunch?

Yatana: Mhm. He's always rushing! And then faints from exhaustion in the wilderness.

Yatana: I can't deliver today, it's too busy. I'll pay a pretty berry if you take this to him.

Vi: Alrighty! Where's his post?

Yatana: Hm... Today he was supposed to patrol around the broken bridges in the Forsaken Lands.

Yatana: Just walk west from where the Weevils hang around. He should've made it before fainting.

Yatana: He's strong, but...please hurry.

Leif: This smells pretty good, wow.

Yatana: He's annoying, but I do love him! It's my super nutritious survival box!

Kabbu: Leave it to us!

[talk again, before delivering]

Yatana: Please hurry. He must've passed out from hunger by now, west from where the Weevils hang around.

[after completing quest]

Yatana: Brother made it back safe and sound! ...Thank you, and best of luck.

Yatana’s Brother: Can't believe I forgot to eat again... Sometimes I just get so pumped up to patrol I rush outta here!

[end of quest-related dialogue]

[Quest: Seedling Hunt]

[first talk]

Takkun: Hello! You're the champions from the Ant Kingdom, aren't you?

Vi: And you're the Seedling guy, right? You're in SUPER LUCK!

Vi: We've been fighting Seedlings for ages!

Takkun: Mhm! Seedlings have so many variations, too many for me to research on my busy schedule!

Takkun: So I want you to gather some data on their behaviors for me! Don't worry though, it's easy!

Takkun: Just defeat them in battle and your experiences should write themselves!

Takkun: I'd like to have data of 50 Seedling individuals, any species of them will do.

Takkun: Once you have that, talk to me and I will give you your reward!

Leif: Sounds simple enough. Let's go trample them.

Kabbu: (50...So much violence!)

[talk again, haven’t defeated enough]

Takkun: Oh? Already done?

Takkun: ...Seems like you didn't get enough data...

Takkun: I still need @var@ Seedlings to complete my research! Check how many you have in your library.

[talk again, defeated enough]

Takkun: Oh? Already done?

Takkun: Excellent! This seems to be enough data for me to study the Seedlings! Thank you!

Takkun: Take this as a token of my appreciation, I made it during my spare time. I'm sure it will be very helpful on your quest.

Vi: Heheheh. I knew those Seedlings would be good for something someday!

Takkun: Once again, thank you!

[talk after completing quest]

Takkun: Your help will lead to many advances in Seedling Research!

Takkun: I hope that Medal's been more than worth it!

[end of quest-related dialogue]

[after finishing colosseum at least once]

[first talk]

Terrie’s sister: Oh, aren't you the foreign champions?

Terrie: C-Champions? Woah…

Leif: Guess we've met her standards.

Terrie: Not just champions! You're like, the Bug Rangers!

Vi: Wha? Termites know the Bug Rangers?

Terrie’s sister: Not many... Mostly some old timers, back before things got really strict.

Terrie’s sister: There was this one show, everyone really talked about it for a while.

Terrie: I didn't know you were real!

Vi: Heheheh.

Leif: Sorry, but it's just a coincidence.

Terrie: ...Bleh.

Kabbu: Could you let us know what troubles you, at least?

Terrie: Y-You'll laugh at me.

Vi: I promise Kabbu and Leif won't.

Terrie: Look, I've been saving berries for a whole moon.

Terrie: I was going to buy a Green Ranger Plush! There's only 10, y'know?

(minibubble) Kabbu: ...

Terrie: But the day I saved up enough, someone snatched it! I'm so angry!

Leif: That sucks.

Vi: Dunno if we can help…

Kabbu: ...We'll, um, see what we can do. Try to cheer up, alright?

Terrie: Easy to say...

[talk again]

Terrie’s sister: It would be great if I got a plushie for Terrie... But they are so hard to find...

Terrie: What is it?

[subsequent talks]

Terrie: Come back anytime! I won't be grumpy anymore!

Terrie’s sister: Life's much livelier now, thank you!

[Spy Terrie or her sister, after giving plushie]

Leif: You're strong, Kabbu. We would've kept our toy.

Vi: Yeah...you have like, a being nice superpower!

Kabbu: Look at how happy she is! You can't tell me it wasn't worth it?

Vi: ...Yeah, it was.

(minibubble) Leif: Yup.

6. Pier

[Overworld Spy]

Vi: They have a pier too! We should've just ferried in.

Kabbu: I don't think their pier is very inviting…

Leif: There's some catapults and everything. We would've gotten sunk.

Vi: What's the point of a pier if there's no boats!?

Kabbu: I'm sure they've got plenty use out of this area without opening it up for tourism.

Vi: Don't explain it! I just want to feel mad about it!

Sign: Water Treatment Station.

Wedge: It's so monotonous treating the water every day.

Wedge: I hope that someday I get the chance to go outside and visit Bugaria.

Biggs: Performance is above expected today. We'll get to store some water for harsher times.

[Spy Wedge or Biggs]

Leif: Nice glasses.

Kabbu: This must be a Termite in charge of this big machine.

Vi: He mentioned water, right? So this pumps water everywhere?

Leif: With so many tall places, it must be helpful to not have to come down.

Vi: They've got nothing on our super honey network!

Termite: These machines distribute and clean the water, but we're still breathing in tons of smoke.

Termite: Couldn't they make an anti-smoke gadget?

[Spy Termite]

Kabbu: So they're exchanging their air for many commodities…

Vi: The Bee Kingdom just throws all the smoke into the sky!

Leif: ...Why not just live in the open like the Golden Settlers?

Guard: One must always stay vigilant!

Guard: Any unknown ships coming in? KERPLOW! Fire the catapults!

Termite: I-I'm scared of water…

Termite: But I really want to swim...

[Spy Termite]

Leif: You can do it. Just...dip your arms in the water.

Vi: You hate water, stop telling him to swim.

Leif: But he doesn't. Y'know, it'd be nice to see him triumph over his fear…

Kabbu: We...we should take a swim too! To inspire him!

Leif: ...No.

[after getting permission for using sumbarine]

[Spy twins]

Kabbu: These girls... They look exactly the same! They're twins!

Vi: The Termite Gen and Eri!

Leif: One of them's missing a blue ribbon, eh...

Twin: I'm so excited!

Twin: Bugaria...I wonder what it is like.

Tiver: Hmm... Bugaria should be the perfect place to expand my business…

Tiver: Oh, you're the winners of the Colosseum, right? So you will take us to Bugaria, yes?

Tiver: Let's get going, time is money!

[Spy Tiver]

Leif: What fancy clothing.

Kabbu: This Termite seems to be rich...I wonder what he deals with.

Wedge: Finally! My time has come! Let's get going!

[Spy Wedge, Biggs, or Elizant]

Kabbu: Oh, I'm so excited!

Vi: To ride the sub?

Kabbu: N-No. That's terrifying, actually…

Leif: …

Kabbu: Scientists are coming with us! There will be a technological exchange!

Leif: Oh, right. That's pretty exciting, actually.

(minibubble) Vi: It is?

[Story]

Biggs: You've arrived! Behold, our Subaquatic Maritime Neotransport!

Leif: It's...like nothing we've seen. For better or worse.

Kabbu: It can truly travel under the tides?

Biggs: Give it a whirl. You'll have the time of your life.

Biggs: Bugs have never been able to travel this way!

Vi: Wew...okay. I'm gonna trust it.

Vi: We can finally go get the Everlasting Sapling!

Vi: And beat up the King, too!

Leif: This long journey's nearing its end.

Kabbu: But we must not rest until we're victorious!

Elizant: It's a bit too early to rally.

Elizant: Let's head to the Outskirts Pier. We must pick up our reinforcements.

Biggs: It's a very intuitive tech. You can move as you usually would.

Biggs: Just dive with |button,5| when there's danger. Just in case!

Leif: Let's 'give it a whirl', then. Time's running out.

[talk again]

Biggs: Press |button,5| to submerge to avoid danger, and don't worry, the sub can take a beating!

Elizant: Let's hurry to the Outskirts Pier, it should be just north of here.

[After dropping Elizant off at Outskirts Pier]

Biggs: The Subaquatic Maritime Neotransport is simple to use. Whenever you need to submerge, just press |button,5|!

7. Colosseum Lobby

[Overworld Spy]

Kabbu: This is it. Their hall of blazing glory!

Vi: It looks a little...normal, you know?

Leif: They must've chosen to keep it outdated. In the name of culture.

Vi: That just sounds lazy!

Leif: Don't let historians hear you…

(minibubble) Vi: Whatever.

[before talking to the king and queen]

Bet: Oh hey. Welcome to the Colosseum.

Bet: Right now we don't have any fights happening... Come back later when we do!

Vi: Aww…

[Spy Bet]

Leif: Getting paid to run this place could be chill. We may consider it if we quit exploring.

Kabbu: Is that so? I've always thought of being a gardener.

Vi: I don't wanna ever quit exploring! ...But, y'know, I'd run a shop.

Termite: You see that picture on the back? That was a legendary champion that beat the Colosseum 5 years consecutively!

Termite: He suddenly disappeared though. I wonder if new challengers will take that picture now.

[Spy Termite]

Kabbu: I-Is it okay for children to witness such battles?

Leif: Weren't you inspired by plays and books?

Kabbu: That is completely different to a Colosseum!

Pry: Hmph. They said that workers aren't strong enough to fight… I will show them!

[Spy Pry]

Vi: You go, super regular normal dude!

Kabbu: Vi's found a hero, eh?

Vi: Wha-No! I'm my own hero! I should be HIS hero!

Leif: *Sigh*.

Guard: Only audience or contestants!

Rob: Aaah! You're Team Snakemouth! Do you plan on fighting in the Colosseum?

Bub: Oh! You're the ones that saved us from the Wasp Kingdom! Thanks again!

[Spy Rob or Bub]

Leif: These two have pretty much seen the whole continent.

Vi: Except the Ant Kingdom…

Kabbu: ...Maybe if we find the Everlasting Sapling, we could revoke that ban?

Huscada: Ah, hello again! Are you planning on trying on the Colosseum?

Common shop dialogue

Cricketly: Hello there! Going to try the Colosseum? Make sure to stock up before you do!

[story, after talking to the king and queen]

Bet: Hm... You're the Ant Kingdom knights? A bit scrawny...out of shape.

Kabbu: Excuse me?

Bet: It's whatever. Everyone's looking forward to a new challenger.

Bet: You ready to go? You'll do three straight fights when you're in.

Textbox: We'll shop a bit.

Beatdown time!

[We'll shop a bit.]

Bet: Don't take too long. The king gets grumpy.

[Beatdown time!]

Bet: Alright. Please cross through the left door.

Bet: I placed a bet on you for kicks and giggles, so good luck.

Vi: If I give you some berries, can you bet higher and pay me later?

Bet: ...No.

(minibubble) Vi: Aww…

[story, ch6, after winning in Colosseum]

Mothiva: *Grumble* Stupid crowd...

Zasp: We'll go on ahead.

Leif: No weird tricks.

Mothiva: Just shut up. I don't want to hear you ever again. Ugh. BYE.

Vi: Poor you...

Kabbu: I feel so tired...but we did it!

Vi: No time for the inn! Let's get going to the palace!

Bet: Oh hey, you won. Talk about lucky!

Bet: Come back later if you want to fight again. If you keep it up I'll keep betting on you!

Termite: Ah! Team Snakemouth! I am your number one fan!

Bub: Wow! I never knew you were this strong!

Rob: I was right to bet on you, got a lot of berries! Keep up the good work!

Bet: Challengers! Have you come to try the Colosseum once more?

Textbox: Yes!

No!

[win]

Bet: I was right to bet on you! Here is some berries from what I got!

Bet: Come back again if you want more berries!

[lose]

Bet: Ouch. Good thing I didn't bet on you this time!

Bet: If you want to retry just talk to me.

8. Colosseum Arena

[story, ch6]

Hector: My dear workers, scientists, Termites of every kind!

Hector: Today is a battle unlike those you're used to seeing!

Hector: The honor of our kingdom is on the line!

Hector: These foreign knights claim they can best our best of the very best!

Crowd: Boo!

Crowd: Get 'em soldiers!

Crowd: No way!

Crowd: Wow…

Layra: And what better way to test that claim…

Layra: Than with the ancient tradition of our ancestors!

Layra: A good old PUBLIC FISTICUFF!

Crowd: WOO!

Crowd: YEAH!

Crowd: FISTS!

Crowd: LET'S GO!

Layra: How many rounds will they get through I wonder…

Layra: Without further ado, let's begin!

Hector: From the left gate...Vi the Bee, Kabbu the Beetle, and Leif the Moth! Team Snakemouth!

Leif: We should've picked another name. Didn't expect us to get famous.

Kabbu: It fits us perfectly. Focus on the battle.

Vi: We'll do awesome like always!

Hector: Now, from the right gate! Let's warm up our visitors, shall we!?

Hector: They shall face fierce beasts from the Forbidden Lands!

Hector: Now, BATTLE!!!

[post-first battle]

Leif: Child's play.

Crowd: WOO!

Crowd: VI!

Crowd: KABBU!

Crowd: LEIF!

Crowd: YEAH!

Crowd: LET'S GO!

Hector: Hmph. Child's play indeed! It's time for our second act!

Hector: You will now face Cross and Poi! The bravest of our border guards!

Cross: Well, it's nice to see you again.

Poi: We won't go easy on you, give it your all.

Kabbu: It was your trust that got us this far. We will honor you with a good fight!

Vi: Yeah, yeah. Let's go!

[post-second battle]

Cross: H-Hngh…

Poi: I-Incredible…

Kabbu: Please forgive us for having to beat you up.

Leif: Eh, it's all in good sport.

Crowd: Wow...

Crowd: They beat Poi!

Crowd: Even Cross!?

Crowd: No way...

Hector: H-Hmph! So you have some skill!

Layra: Oh my... Dear, Poi and Cross are not easily beat.

Hector: W-Whatever! You're not claiming victory so easily!

Hector: Now, you will face a captured creature that instills fear in the most hardened veteran!

Layra: Oh!? You'll... Are you sure!?

Hector: UNLEASH THE PRIMAL WEEVIL!

Leif: ...Oh. He doesn't know, huh.

Vi: We've gotta beat it AGAIN!?

Mothiva: No, no no! What a dull show, don't you all think?

Mothiva: My dear public deserves better, so much better!

Crowd: That voice!

Crowd: Is that!?

Crowd: She's...!

Mothiva: That's right! It's me! Your one! Your only! The most loved in the Termite Kingdom!

Crowd: MOTHIVA!!

Hector: O-Oh!!! It's Mothiva!

Layra: Ohohoho! Her voice is smooth as ever!

Zasp: Sup.

Kabbu: W-What are you doing here!?

Mothiva: No way we'd let you steal any Queen's graces.

Mothiva: When I heard you were coming...I just had to crash this party!

Leif: What do you gain from making this harder for us?

Vi: Yeah! We're on the same team!

Zasp: This show is to prove the enemy's strength. But also your strength, Team Snakemouth.

Zasp: If we defeat you, we'll show we're superior to you.

Mothiva: And then the Queen's gonna HAVE to tag us along!

Kabbu: This is ridiculous! You realize you could be dooming us all!?

Kabbu: What if the Termite King loses trust in the Queen!?

Kabbu: What if you lose to the Wasp King without our help!?

Kabbu: Have you gone completely, utterly insane!? Have you lost all intelligence!

Mothiva: Yikes. You're overthinking this WAY too much.

Mothiva: The Ant Kingdom's way better in our hands than with you LOSERS.

Kabbu: We have SAVED YOUR LIFE BEFORE, you WITCH!

Mothiva: I said we'd NEVER speak of that again!

Leif: ...Zasp. You've helped us many times. Can't you talk some sense into her?

Zasp: Don't misunderstand. I'm not doing this only for Mothiva.

Zasp: ...Although it's a pretty big reason.

Vi: Ugh, I want the Primal Weevil back.

Mothiva: Just SHUT UP and fight, you cowards! Let's get the crowd WILD AND CHEERING!

Crowd: MOTHIVA!!

Crowd: MOTHIVA!!

Crowd: MOTHIVA!!

Crowd: (T-team Snakemouth!)

Hector: Hehehehe! I agree! Anything to see Mothiva perform!

Layra: How serendipitous. I'm looking forward to this.

Hector: The fight starts...NOW!

[during battle, if you knock out Zasp before Mothiva]

Mothiva: Seriously Zasp? Get up!

[post-third battle]

Mothiva: N-Ngh... Grrr!!!!... Hurk…

Zasp: Mo... thiva...

Kabbu: Huff... Huff...is this...enough for you!?

Leif: C-Come on. Just drop it.

Vi: I'm not even tired yet! You'd better give up!

Mothiva: GRRRRRRR!!!

Mothiva: Fine. Fine! Whatever! ...I give up. You win. Are you HAPPY now!?

Zasp: I concede. Team Snakemouth. Today you're better than us.

Zasp: ...What a pathetic end...

Crowd: MOTHIVA!!

Crowd: VI!

Crowd: KABBU!

Crowd: LEIF!

Hector: What an incredible battle! Bugaria holds so much strength!

Hector: I-I mean...hmph. Not a bad showing!

Layra: Hehehe. Oh my dear...

Mothiva: ...

Mothiva: Ohohoho! Thank you everyone! We're all the best, aren't we?

Mothiva: Make sure to come to my next show! You'll get even closer to me!

Crowd: TEAM SNAKEMOUTH!!!

Leif: Whoops, guess there's a new hot band in town.

Mothiva: What the...I can't believe they're cheering for YOU!

Kabbu: Justice is quite popular with the crowd!

Mothiva: Maybe Termites just have awful taste! Ugh!

Zasp: Mothiva, you'll always have your true fans...Like me.

Mothiva: C-Come on, everybody! Say my name one more time!

Crowd: VI!

Crowd: KABBU!

Crowd: LEIF!

Crowd: (M-Mothiva!)

Hector: This concludes today's battle. Team Snakemouth, please meet us back at the Royal Chamber.

Layra: Theatrics aside, there are serious things to discuss. You fought well. We shall see you there.

[subsequent colosseum challenges]

Hector: My dear workers, scientists, Termites of every kind! Team Snakemouth is back to challenge our Colosseum once more!

Layra: Let's see if they are up for the task!

Crowd: Boo!

Crowd: Get 'em soldiers!

Crowd: No way!

Crowd: Wow…

Hector: From the left gate...Vi the Bee, Kabbu the Beetle, and Leif the Moth! Team Snakemouth!

Leif: Here we go again.

Vi: Time to let off some steam!

Hector: Now, from the right gate! Let's warm up our visitors, shall we!?

Hector: They shall face fierce beasts from the Forbidden Lands!

Hector: Now, BATTLE!!!

[post-first battle]

Leif: Child's play.

Crowd: WOO!

Crowd: VI!

Crowd: KABBU!

Crowd: LEIF!

Crowd: YEAH!

Crowd: LET'S GO!

Hector: Hmph. Child's play indeed! It's time for our second act!

Hector: You will now face Cross and Poi! The bravest of our border guards!

Cross: Well, it's nice to see you again...again.

Poi: We've learned from last time. We'll give it our all!

Kabbu: We've grown too. Be ready!

[post-second battle]

Cross: H-Hngh…

Poi: N-Not again…

Leif: Good fight. Let's do it again sometime.

Crowd: Wow...

Crowd: They beat Poi!

Crowd: Even Cross!?

Crowd: No way...

Hector: Now, for the main attraction!

Layra: My favorite part!

Hector: UNLEASH THE PRIMAL WEEVIL!

Leif: A shame it was captured just for this.

Vi: It loves fighting, don't feel sorry for it! Let's go!

[post-third battle]

Leif: That's a wrap.

Crowd: VI!

Crowd: KABBU!

Crowd: LEIF!

Crowd: WOO!

Hector: Well done! I guess today, victory goes to… Team Snakemouth!

Layra: That was a great show! Do come fight whenever!

[lose any battle]

Layra: Hmph! A shame! Was their previous victory a fluke?

Hector: Oh well. There is always next time!
