Help Me Get it Back!

By: Mun

Difficulty: ***

Grr...Some bandits took my friend's mask!

I, uh, I really tried to fight them. But they're too strong!

I just need some backup! Can someone meet me at the Ant Kingdom's Residential Area?

.

Mun's determined to storm the Bandits' Hideout with Team Snakemouth's help. Time to find that mask!

.

Mun actually got the mask back!

Now it only needs to be returned to his friend in the Residential Area!


Outskirts, East

Mun: G-give it back!

Burglar: Huh, punk!?

Mun: E-Eophi's mask! The leaf mask you stole!

Bandit: Pfft. We put that in the vault LONG ago.

Bandit: Even if we didn't, we're not gonna give it back!

Burglar: Yeah, punk. What ya gonna do about it, HUH?

Mun: I...I...I'll beat you up! I'll really do it!

Bandit: HAHAHAHA!!!

Burglar: You're gonna fight us, punk!? Gonna hit us with your shaking legs?

Bandit: You ain't getting that mask back, worm. Just forget about it!

Mun: ...

Mun: *Sniff*...I-I really can't do it…

Mun: I'll never get back his mask like this…

Mun: I...I'm gonna have to ask for help!


Ant Kingdom, Residential

Eophi: I'm really bummed out about my mask, but…

Eophi: Mun just got back, and he looks super stressed out... I wish I could help him.


[Spy Eophi, missing mask]

Leif: Ah, the mask really helped him look cooler.

Kabbu: He must've lost it! Or someone stole it!

Vi: Oooor he just wanted to try a new look?

Kabbu: That's impossible!

Leif: You should know better than to doubt Kabbu's nag sensor by now, Vi...


[before accepting quest from board]

Mun: Okay. I put up the listing. Just gotta wait now.

Mun: Was...was that a cowardly thing to do?


[Spy Mun]

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

Kabbu: Y-Yes, but...I can't help but worry. What if he gets hurt?

Leif: They shared those concerns with you too, we imagine.

Kabbu: (...Yeah, they did...)


[after taking quest from board]

Mun: W-Who're you guys?

Vi: Team Snakemouth, ready to work!

Mun: Oh, you're explorers? Y-You saw my post?

Leif: You could say that.

Kabbu: Could you tell us all you know?

Mun: S-sure. Look, it's super simple. The bandits stole my friend's mask!

Mun: They've gotta be at their hideout! B-But I can't beat 'em alone.

Mun: I need your backup!

Leif: Wait. Uh, you're going?

Mun: Y-Yes. I can't run from this!

Leif: Do you have an explorer permit?

Mun: N-No…

Leif: You should probably stay behind, then.

Mun: I refuse!

Mun: Besides, if they see me with you they'll just think you're escorting me!

Mun: Please, I can fight! I'm just really shy!

Kabbu: Such thirst for justice!

Vi: You can't be seriously falling for that.

Kabbu: Come with us, brave lad. But stay behind our formation!

(minibubble) Leif: Oh boy...

Mun: A-Alright! Let's go to their hideout, then!


[Talk with Mun following]

Eophi: Y-You're going to what? Mun, don't do anything rash over a mask!


Bandit Hideout, Storage

Mun: O-Oi! I hope you're ready to pay!

Bandit: What!? You followed us, punk!?

Burglar: ...And he's got help with him!

Thief: Hah. Think we're scared cuz you're not alone!?

Mun: Y-You're only brave when you pick on others! This is fair game!

Burglar: S-Shut up!

Thief: A-Aren't those the one that fought the boss?

Bandit: That's perfect. We'll beat these punks up and get a reward!

Kabbu: Hmph. Your boss would be most disappointed in you, I'm sure.

Leif: You sure about that one, Kabbu?

Vi: Whatever. Let's go!

Mun: HIYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!


[post-battle]

Mun: AHHHH!! HAH! TORYAH!!!!

Vi: W-What are ya doing?

Mun: ...O-Oh! Woah! We did it! We beat 'em up!

Leif: Err-

Kabbu: Y-Yes. We couldn't have done it without you, brave lad!

Bandit: P-Punk...

Mun: That was awesome! We did it!

Vi: Y-Yup.

Mun: I'm gonna go tell Eophi I beat up all the bad guys! Wow!

Mun: Thank you so much!!!

Vi: O-Oi! The reward!

Kabbu: Do you really-

Vi: YES! This was a tough one!

Leif: If you really want one, guess you can go ask him back in town.


Ant Kingdom, Residential

[Spy Mun before talking]

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


Mun: And then I was like...TORYAH!

Eophi: S-Seriously?

Mun: Here. I got you your mask back!

Eophi: ...!

Eophi: Mun, thank you! But you could've gotten hurt…

Mun: It's alright! Everything turned out fine!

Leif: Hey. Glad you two seem fine.

Mun: These are the friends that gave me courage!

Kabbu: You did excellent, Mun!

Vi: You uh, forgot the reward though.

Mun: Oh! S-Sorry. Imma get it.

Mun: Heheheh... I was so cool, though.

Eophi: ...Thanks. I was really surprised to see he got it back.

Vi: It was noooo problem!

Eophi: Don't tell Mun, but I sat down and made a new mask…

Eophi: I figured if he saw I didn't need one, he'd stop fighting the bandits.

Eophi: I should've trusted him a bit more!

Leif: No one's gonna blame you, seriously.

Eophi: Please take it. It'll be our secret, alright?

Mun: Here, my berry stash!

Vi: Oh baby, a double!

Mun: Huh?

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

Mun: Uh, okay…

Eophi: T-Thanks again. Have a good day!


Mun: I still have to practice more, so that something like this won't happen again!


Eophi: I'll take better care of my stuff. Can't have Mun risking himself again...


[Spy Mun]

Kabbu: Mun's truly grown thanks to this ordeal!

Vi: We kinda did everything, but…

Leif: Mun did more than you give him credit for.

Kabbu: And, thankfully, he came out unharmed...
