Wasp Kingdom
[ch5, get noticed by wasps at any point]
Kabbu: ...And that could happen. Let's try not to get caught.
1. Outside
[Overworld Spy, before postgame]
Leif: The Wasp Kingdom's very fortified.
Vi: We're gonna have to be super sneaky!
Kabbu: Trust me with this, team. We shall dig our way through!
[Quest: They Took Her…!]
[Spy Rebelle or Voi, before talking]
Bumble: R-REBELLE!!!
Bumble: S-SIS! Get AWAY from her, you, um, you KIDNAPPER!
(minibubble) Rebelle: Bumble!?
Voi: W-What? Kidnapper? What're you talking about?
Vi: Don't play dumb! You stole her sister!
Voi: Wh-What? But Rebelle is my…
Rebelle: BUMBLE!!! What the heck!? You're RUINING my date!
Leif: ...Date? With a Wasp Trooper?
(minibubble) Kabbu: O-Oh dear...
Bumble: Y-You have a date!? You didn't say anything! I thought you'd…
Rebelle: I was trying to do something spontaneous, for fun! Okay?
Voi: I-It's true! I invited her here...And she said yes!
[if done before postgame]
Kabbu: Please understand, tensions have been running high!
Rebelle: Who cares about all those politics? We just want to be together!
Bumble: Why didn't you tell me?
Rebelle: ...I uh, I thought you wouldn't approve, so...
Bumble: Of course I do! You support me in everything!
Voi: Wow, your sister IS cool, Rebelle.
Kabbu: We're...sorry for this misunderstanding.
Rebelle: ...No, it was my bad. I should've told you, Bumble.
Vi: Guess everything's fine, then.
Bumble: S-Still, we could probably stay at Metal Island until the conflict dies down…
Rebelle: Yeah, right. I guess. We've spent some good time here anyways.
Voi: Thanks for caring about Rebelle so much. Here's a little something.
Leif: You're a cool dude. Sorry for the scare.
Voi: Haha, I get that a lot…
Voi: We'll get going now, then. Take care!
[if during postgame]
Kabbu: W-Well, it's true the Wasp Kingdom's open to everyone now…
Rebelle: Who cares about all those politics? We just want to be together!
Bumble: Why didn't you tell me?
Rebelle: ...I uh, I thought you wouldn't approve, so…
Bumble: Of course I do! You support me in everything!
Voi: Wow, your sister IS cool, Rebelle.
Kabbu: We're...sorry for this misunderstanding.
Rebelle: ...No, it was my bad. I should've told you, Bumble.
Vi: Guess everything's fine, then.
Bumble: W-Would you mind if I stayed around? Just to check the Kingdom out.
Rebelle: S-Sure! Oh, there's some cool places I've gotta show you!
Voi: Thanks for caring about Rebelle so much. Here's a little something.
Leif: You're a cool dude. Sorry for the scare.
Voi: Haha, I get that a lot…
Voi: We'll get going now, then. Take care!
[end of quest-related dialogue]
[postgame]
[Overworld Spy]
Kabbu: After so long, we can freely enter and leave the Wasp Kingdom.
Leif: Some are still on edge, but that's pretty normal.
Vi: Queen Vanessa's got a lotta stuff to fix…
Wasp Trooper: Hey. Queen Vanessa's authorized others to pass, so...
Roach: Such beautiful flora...I wish the Elder had come with us.
[Spy Roach]
Leif: Just like that, Roaches come back into the fold.
Kabbu: Neo was raving to me earlier! There's so much we can learn from them!
Vi: Hehe. And they get to learn from us too!
Wasp Driller: I know there's no need to patrol, but I can't help it...
Wasp Driller: Team Snakemouth! I thank you on behalf of all of my comrades!
Kabbu: I-It was nothing, good soldier!
Wasp: Nonsense! We are free once more! We will never forget it!
[Spy Wasps]
Vi: A Was- Oh, right.
Leif: Old habits don't just leave, huh.
Kabbu: I hope the Kingdoms can leave this past struggle behind and form a bond!
2. Sneak Entrance
[Story, initial entrance]
Leif: Okay, we managed to sneak inside.
Leif: Let's find the artifact and get out.
Kabbu: Wait, Leif. Remember. We must not be caught, the Wasps are formidable foes.
Vi: Hey! We managed to get past the bandit hideout, didn't we?
Kabbu: I don't think the Wasps will be as easy to shake off as the bandits were.
Kabbu: Let's plan our moves carefully, so that the mission may succeed! Let's move!
[Overworld Spy]
Kabbu: This room's mostly pots, correct? Interesting…
Vi: The Hive's got a few like these too! It's probably just a bunch of food.
Leif: Outsiders probably don't get to see these. We're pretty lucky. And hungry.
Kabbu: Don't steal their food!
3. Plaza
[Overworld Spy]
Kabbu: What is...going on here?
Leif: Everything's closed down…
Vi: Is this supposed to be like, their plaza?
Kabbu: S-Shh! They almost heard us...Let's ponder later.
4. Drill Room
[Overworld Spy]
Kabbu: Hm? What is this room for?
Vi: I dunno, but it seems they hang those big machines here.
Leif: ...Seems like one of them is missing. Where could it be?
5. Key Room
[Overworld Spy]
Vi: I really don't get it. How come everyone's stuff is so run down?
Vi: If the Hive looked like this, no one would listen to the Queen!
Leif: Yeah. They're awfully loyal to be living like this.
Kabbu: Something's bizarre...
6. Gate
[Overworld Spy]
Leif: The more we see of the Wasp Kingdom, the more confused we get.
Kabbu: This gate looks recent…
Vi: We can feel sorry about 'em later. We've gotta get the artifact!
7. Branching
[Story, first entrance]
Vi: Huh. It's super quiet in here.
Leif: They must not be patrolling past here too thoroughly. Yay.
Kabbu: Huff... Alright, team. This is a good spot to rest. We can proceed when we're ready.
Vi: Less guards means whack 'em time!
Kabbu: You know I'd rather we be cautious…
Leif: And you know how we are. Let's give it to 'em.
(minibubble) Kabbu: Sigh…
[Overworld Spy]
Vi: Today's been full of action, huh.
Leif: Our legs are starting to feel the strain.
Kabbu: I'm glad we've made it though the swamplands. Please, let's not push ourselves too hard.
Vi: You got it, Kabbu!
Sign: Food storage, keep locked! Remember to keep the vents closed!
Sign: Prison ahead, keep it clean!
8. Prison
[Overworld Spy]
Vi: Is this a prison? It's huge! Like, the bandits would be super jealous.
Kabbu: It's worrying for a Kingdom to need such an extensive holding space…
Leif: Don't we know some of them? Did they get snatched during the invasion?
Kabbu: I'll do my best to help us reach them!
[Spy Ant]
Vi: That's just cruel! You can't leave people without food!
Leif: He's not gonna win any best king awards, for sure.
Kabbu: We've got to solve this issue quickly...!
Ant: Ah... Someone... So... Hungry...
Textbox: Give the ant something to eat?
[Exit out]
Kabbu: (...We're sorry...)
[give nonfood item or food that can cause negative status effect]
Vi: (Uh, no! We can't give THAT!)
[give food]
Ant: ...! Y-You saved me. Thank... you…
Leif: The king will pay.
Kabbu: Rest, poor soul. You will be freed soon!
Vi: …
Leif: Nothing to say, Vi? A request, perhaps?
Vi: Nah. Let's go, team!
[talk again]
Ant: Y-You saved me. Thank... You...
[Spy Amber]
Leif: We wouldn't be surprised if she hasn't even noticed she's a prisoner.
Vi: She's uh, dedicated. But she's not dumb. She sure knows.
Kabbu: As if her life wasn't hard enough, she's being judged by you both…
Futes: Hehehehe...I got thrown here on purpose. So many Wasps~!
(minibubble) Wasp: (Help…)
[Spy Futes]
Leif: She sure looks glad to be here.
Vi: She's nuts!
Kabbu: Even if she's glad, we must save her!
Wasp: Everyone's gone nuts. Even my best friend wouldn't listen to me…
Leif: So they threw you in here?
Wasp: Mhm. It's so frustrating...
[Spy Wasp]
Vi: Why's a Wasp in prison?
Kabbu: The best way to know is to ask the fellow, I believe.
Rob: I'm just glad we're in the same cell.
Bub: Yeah, mate. Together, we'll get through anything!
(minibubble) Kabbu: Hnngh...!
[Spy Rob or Bub]
Kabbu: Even these two have ended up here…
Leif: Well, they'd been traveling a lot. This is like a sponsored trip.
Vi: Ugh. You'd have to pay me to get me to come back.
9. Jayde
[Story, first entrance]
Jayde: Huh! Oi! Who are you!? How did you get in here!?
Leif: It's nice to get spoken to for a change…
Jayde: ...!
(minibubble) Kabbu: ?
Jayde: ...!?!?
(minibubble) Vi: Uh.
Jayde: W-Wait! Are you THE Bug Rangers!? Oh Queenie!
Kabbu: P-Pardon me?
Jayde: Yeah! Just look at the poster!
Jayde: It's such an honor, wow! Finally someone's heard my pleas!
Vi: Pleas? What'dya mean? You're the ones attacking everyone!
Jayde: Not me. I'm just a cleaner. Everyone's gone super nuts lately after the Queen went missing...!
Jayde: I've kinda just rolled with the punches. Better than getting thrown into a cell.
Leif: You're saying the Wasp Kingdom's changed under the King?
Jayde: You've looked around, right? Everything's so unkempt... Everyone's just focused on fighting!
Jayde: Dunno where he came from, but he sure messed stuff up fast!
Jayde: ...You'll help, right? You're the Bug Rangers!
Kabbu: ...Um, yes! Yes we will! On our honor!
(minibubble) Leif: Right.
Vi: To help, we uh...need an ancient artifact! Got any of those?
Jayde: Oh, no way they'd give anything useful to me. You'd have better luck asking the King himself.
Jayde: Here, this should help ya.
Leif: (We can't believe this is working…)
Kabbu: Hang on tight, miss! We will restore your kingdom!
Jayde: Aaaaah! You're all so cool!
Vi: Heheheh, yeah! You'd better have a reward ready when we do!
Jayde: I'll give you some of my famous stew for free!
Jayde: Or I would but, uh, I'm in a tight spot now. Economy's bad…
Jayde: But you'll get a super HERO discount!
Vi: ...Eh, I'll take it.
(minibubble) Leif: A snack wouldn't hurt.
Jayde: Name's Jayde. I can't believe my dream's coming true! Make yourselves at home, rangers!
[Overworld Spy]
Kabbu: The Wasp Kingdom is like one big complex. But I'm surprised there's a cleaner's room…
Vi: Even villains gotta clear the dust!
Leif: Hopefully she won't mind picking up after the knocked down guards.
[Spy Jayde]
Leif: (We're surprised you'd lie to her, Kabbu.)
Kabbu: (It's an emergency! And it makes her happy, so…)
Vi: Woah! This stew's super good!
Jayde: Rangers! How can I help?
Textbox: Talk
Rest
Nothing
[Talk]
Jayde: You're a big inspiration, you know?
Jayde: Wasps are strong, so if a little Bee can be a hero... Maybe I can too!
Vi: You saying I'm little?
Jayde: Um. Whoops!
(minibubble) Leif: Heh.
Kabbu: Your faith in us won't be misplaced!
Jayde: I really hope so. I need to see the Queen again... To thank her for this pendant and all.
Jayde: It'd be so unheroic to not be able to!
[Rest]
Jayde: My bed's the comfiest! You won't regret it!
[Nothing]
Jayde: If I can help AT ALL, just let me know!
[Examine item]
Jayde: That's one of my |string,0|s. For my heroes, only |currency,var,1|!
Textbox: We will take it!
Just checking.
[We will take it!]
Jayde: I'm so honored!
[Full Inventory]
Jayde: Oops! No room left in that pouch!
[Insufficient Funds]
Jayde: Sorry, rangers. Can't go any lower than that…
[Just checking.]
Jayde: No problem. I'll uh, manage somehow!
10. Main Hall
[Overworld Spy, ch5]
Leif: Fancy...and empty around here.
Vi: We can charge straight ahead!
Kabbu: Let's be careful. Even if they haven't noticed us yet, this is too convenient…
[postgame]
[Overworld Spy]
Leif: It's bustling around here.
Vi: Well, there's lots to do!
Kabbu: It seems we cannot enter their residential area anymore.
Kabbu: Given the state it was in, it may need some repair...
[Quest: They Took Her…!]
[after completing quest, postgame]
[Spy Bumble, Rebelle, or Voi]
Leif: Seems our intruding didn't hurt their relationship.
Kabbu: I'm so relieved! If I was the cause for a breakup, I…
Vi: ...'d apologize a lot. Right?
Kabbu: ...Yes.
Rebelle: The royal halls are some good stuff. Hopefully we can get a house soon, though.
Bumble: Mmm...I'm glad sis is doing fine.
Bumble: I gotta start thinking of moving, though. Can't be a third wing forever!
Voi: Let's be patient, Rebelle. We'll live together soon!
[end of quest-related dialogue]
Wasp Driller: The usurper caused unmeasurable damage to our community. We must stay united if we're to recover.
Wasp Driller: Those prisons held so many innocent...I hope we can make amends.
[first talk]
Jayde: Ah, it's my heroes!
[if you’d talked to her in the Golden Settlement]
Leif: We see you've come back to your homeland.
Jayde: Yup, nothing beats home! ...When it's at peace, anyways.
Vi: You gonna keep selling stew? It's super good!
Jayde: Yup. It really is my passion!
Kabbu: It will be our pleasure to keep eating it!
Jayde: Hehehe. Help yourselves, my heroes!
[if you hadn’t talked to her in the Golden Settlement]
Leif: Hey, Jayde. Looking good.
Jayde: With the crisis over, I can follow my passion! Selling stew!
Vi: What, like a shop?
Jayde: My stew shop! You guys liked it so much...I think it can be a success!
Leif: You've got that right.
Jayde: I'll give you a special Ranger Discount, so buy a lot!
Vi: Woohoo!
Kabbu: W-We're not...!
Jayde: You don't have to say anything! It's my way of thanking you for everything!
[talk again]
Jayde: Rangers! Come for some stew? It's 20 berries, just for you. Hero discount!
Textbox: Yes please!
No thanks!
[Yes please!]
Jayde: All done! Have a feast!
Jayde: You can come back anytime, my heroes!
[insufficient funds]
Jayde: Oh, sorry. I can't go any lower, even for you…
[full inventory]
Jayde: Ah! You can't carry anything else. Maybe I could...keep any of your old hero items?
[No thanks!]
Jayde: Aw...well. I'll be around. Come by anytime if you want some!
[Spy Jayde]
Kabbu: Hngh, now that everything's over, we should probably tell her…
Vi: And lose the discount!? No way!
Leif: Kabbu. At this point, we're actual heroes. Is there a point?
Kabbu: It's a matter of principle...!
Wasp Trooper: We can only let you access these halls for now...but make yourselves comfortable.
Wasp Driller: The usurper left our structures very uncared for. It will take time to make them presentable.
Futes: Hehehe. They let me in...! I can hang around Wasps all day!
[Spy Futes]
Kabbu: I'm glad peace has come to the Wasp Kingdom. Otherwise, I'd...worry for her.
Leif: Hopefully she doesn't get thrown into prison again…
Wasp Trooper: Queen Vanessa would be most pleased to see you!
Wasp Trooper: We owe you so much...but do behave in front of the queen!
[Spy Wasps]
Vi: So what's Wasp culture like?
Leif: Y'know, we're not sure…
Kabbu: Because they've been closed off for so long, I figured they were very violent…
Vi: Doesn't seem like it, right?
Leif: Hopefully we can learn more about them, now that there's peace.
11. Throne Room
[Overworld Spy, pre-battle]
Kabbu: This seems to be the throne room.
Vi: Well, yeah! You can see the throne right there in the middle!
Leif: The artifact should be around here, let's look around.
[Story, walk towards throne]
Fuff: HYEHEHEHEHEH!
Fuff: I won't let you take another step!
Kabbu: ...Who's there!? Show yourself!
Fuff: Hmph! Hear me and hear me well!
Fuff: I am the cruelest! The most cunning! You face General ULTIMAX! The crusher of rebellions!
Fuff: Hyehehehe! You cretins thought you could enter these halls without my noticing!?
Fuff: We have been watching your every step!
Fuff: And here I was! Waiting for you to come for my grand entrance!
Leif: Your entrance was absolutely, what's the word... Yeah, lame.
Fuff: Insolent! Peasant! COMMONER!
Fuff: I shall teach you how we deal with outsiders here in the Wasp Kingdom!!
Vi: Just get out of the way! We're in a hurry!
Fuff: As if I'd let you take even one more step...!
Fuff: TROOPS! TO YOUR GENERAL!
Kabbu: Tch. We've lost the element of surprise!
Vi: Look. Just hand over the artifact and you'll save yourself a whooping!
Fuff: Fools! The artifact is only for our great king to behold!
Fuff: Even now he enjoys its splendor, safe within his chambers... You are not to disturb him in any way!
Leif: Your king feasts and rests while your kingdom crumbles. Have you no obligation to your people?
Fuff: All who serve the king are well cared for. Traitors don't deserve a thing!
Kabbu: Hng. We cannot afford to debate our enemy. Let's clear the path to the artifact!
[post-battle]
Fuff: N-No! My troops! How dare you!?
Vi: Ugh, just shut up already!
Leif: This is getting tiresome. Get 'im, Kabbu.
(minibubble) Kabbu: As you wish!
Vi: Let's get the artifact back!
(minibubble) Fuff: Hmmmph!
Leif: The King should be in the next room. Let's go.
[Spy Fuff]
Vi: General guy turned out to be a pushover.
Kabbu: As if we needed more distractions... let's just get the artifact and make our exit.
Fuff: T-this is not the last you have seen of me!
Fuff: Next time... Victory will be on ULTIMAX'S SIDE!
Vi: Just shut it!
[Overworld Spy, post-battle]
Kabbu: The King must be in the next room. Let's get the artifact and leave without fighting if we can.
[Story, walking out of Vanessa's chambers]
Fuff: HYEHEHEHEHEH!
Fuff: You fell for our trap! I cannot help but LAUGH!
Vanessa: General Fuff!
Fuff: NOT MY NAME! And you're too late! Our attack at the Ant Kingdom may have failed the first time…
Fuff: But the second time, with you lot and that sword guy out of the way…
Fuff: Our glorious King will finally take all the artifacts!
Kabbu: Curses! We won't be able to get back in time!
Leif: We played right into their hand...!
Vi: Grrr! Get out of the way!
Fuff: Gladly! Not like you can do anything to stop us now!
Fuff: HYEHEHEHEHEH!
Kabbu: No time to waste! Let's meet up with Maki and rush to the Ant Kingdom!
Maki: Team Snakemouth! What's wrong? Did you find the artifact?
Kabbu: Maki! We have no time! We must go to the Ant Kingdom right now! You see…
[postgame]
[Overworld Spy]
Kabbu: This room brings back memories, although not very pleasant ones…
Vi: It's ok. We can make better ones now!
Leif: Ever the optimist...but we agree.
Roach: The Wasp Kingdom's working closely with our people to exchange information.
Roach: Although, truth be told, we're benefitting way more from it...
[Spy Roach]
Leif: We're glad our rulers' words weren't empty. The roaches have found where to settle.
Vi: Who WOULDN'T wanna take 'em in!? They're the long lost bugs!
Kabbu: Well, when you put it that way...
Wasp Trooper: Team Snakemouth! The queen's friends are our friends!
[Spy Wasps]
Vi: I can't get used to them being all nice now…
Leif: Eh, give it time. Took us some to get used to you too.
Roy: The Wasps have endured their own hardships. Our people have much in common...
[Spy Roy]
Kabbu: I do not recognize this fellow…
Vi: Maybe he was out doing stuff while the King attacked.
Leif: What a day to miss out on...
Fuff: ...I would like to apologize for everything. I hope you'll find I'm a reasonable bug.
Fuff: And thank you, Leif. For only freezing me, and not something worse...
[Spy Fuff]
Vi: Fuff's a pretty chill guy, huh.
Kabbu: Hopefully we can leave General Ultimax behind, and work together from now on.
Leif: He doesn't seem to resent us, thankfully.
[first talk]
Vanessa: Team Snakemouth...I owe you and all the kingdoms a great debt.
Vi: Nah. You saved us with the Flame Brooch!
Kabbu: Speaking of...we've come to return it.
Vanessa: You're too kind. I was fully prepared to entrust it to you.
Leif: It's the Wasp Kingdom's heirloom. Not something for us to own.
Vanessa: ...Thank you. But it could still prove useful in your journey.
Vanessa: Might you protect it just a bit longer? There's no rush.
Kabbu: Queen Vanessa...! Very well. You can count on us.
Vanessa: You've reminded me... This isn't much, but please accept it in the name of our recovering Kingdom.
Vi: W-Woah! WOAH!!! T-Thanks!
Leif: Good luck with everything, Queen. You've got your work cut out for you.
Vanessa: I'll be alright. And I know I can count on you if anything happens.
Kabbu: Indeed! Don't hesitate to come to us!
[talk again]
Vanessa: Make yourselves feel at home. You've got my sincere gratitude.
[Spy Vanessa]
Kabbu: Queen Vanessa has retaken control of the kingdom.
Leif: We may never know how the Wasp King just hypnotized everyone...creepy stuff.
Vi: Well, everyone's back to normal, right? It's all that matters!
[Quest: A New Hope]
Fuff: Team Snakemouth. I received a report that Roy's quest was taken…
Roy: I heard you saved my people... Thank you.
Vanessa: And our people, as well. You will always have our gratitude.
Kabbu: I-It was nothing!
Vi: Come on, it was really something!
Leif: ...How can we help?
Roy: Our botanists have been working together…
Roy: We're ready to test planting crops in the Dead Lands.
Leif: Is it a good idea?
Roy: One day, the Dead Lands could be filled with life…
Roy: There's no way I'll give up on that dream.
Kabbu: ...Count on us!
Vi: Yeah! It's gonna work for sure!
Vanessa: With the trials you've faced, I have no doubt you'll be safe.
Roy: Shall we go, then? We're headed towards the cold behemoth's entrance.
[end of quest-related dialogue]
12. Queen
[Overworld Spy, before talking with Vanessa]
Kabbu: ...Uh...The king's chambers are quite pretty.
Leif: The King...isn't here?
Vi: Huh? Who's that?
[try and leave before talking to Vanessa]
Kabbu: We must find the artifact...!
[Story, walk up]
Vanessa: ...! You... Who are you?
Leif: What?
(minibubble) Kabbu: !?
Vi: Uh, are you the King's, um…
Vanessa: Heavens, no! I'm but a hostage in my own castle…
Vanessa: I am Vanessa II, ruler of the Wasp Kingdom.
Vanessa: Or so I was, before that poser somehow stole my people's minds and locked me in my own chambers…
Vanessa: Could it be you've come to save me?
Kabbu: Er...It would be a lie to say so.
Leif: We came to defeat the King. He's not here?
Vi: Or at least to take the artifact…
Vanessa: I'm afraid not. He left the general in charge some time ago, when he decided to attack the Ant Kingdom.
Vanessa: I have not seen him since.
Kabbu: What? How could this be?! He was driven out of the Ant Kingdom and we've had reports he...
Kabbu: C-COULD IT BE!?
Leif: This is bad! Disastrous!
Vi: Uh, what's up?
Leif: We were tricked! There's no artifact here!
Vi: WHAT!?
Kabbu: The general lied through his dirty jaws! Curses!
Vanessa: Your kingdom must be in danger, too!
Kabbu: We must return, immediately!
Vanessa: Please, allow me to accompany you. It would not be wise for me to stay here.
Leif: Have your people forsaken you completely?
Vanessa: ...My people have lost their minds, even if I do not know how. We cannot rely on them!
Vi: Let's leg it! What if the town's all ruined again!?
Kabbu: With haste!
[Overworld Spy, after talking with Vanessa]
Kabbu: We must hurry!
[Overworld Spy, postgame]
Kabbu: E-Everyone! Even if we're close allies, this is the Queen's Chambers!
Vi: So? We've been here before!
Kabbu: ...Let's just get out!
(minibubble) Leif: Heh.
