Starbits

Quest on Great Ape Mountain

The early morning sun rises over the sparkling shores of Kokomo Beach. Snickers places some provisions in a satchel he was given by King Louie Louie, as Wysteria stands in front of a mirror making sure she looks good enough for their adventure. "You all ready, my Dudes and Dudettes?" Asks King Louie as he steps out from the Tiki Tower he calls home. "I think Me and Wysteria are, but I'm not sure about Cinn and Glimmer, those two seem to sleep in later." Says Snickers. King Louie smiles as he pulls out his large phone, which he clicks a few buttons on and then looks at rather angrily. "I have been trying to call my brother all morning to have him bring his boat over to get you guys over to Great Ape Mountain. But I can't get this thing to work!" Snickers eagerly asks to take a look at it, if there is one thing Snickers can't resist, it is attempting to repair broken tech. As King Louie hands the phone to a very excited Snickers, Cinnamon and Glimmer both step out of the guest hut, Cinn rubs the sleep out of her eyes as Glimmer flips her hair forward making it take her regular spiked shape. "There are the two sleepy heads!" Says King Louie with a kind smile. Everyone says their good mornings as Snickers hands Louie back his now fixed phone. "Aye, you got it working!" Snickers gets a proud smile on his face. "Yup! It was easy, all I did was..." Cinnamon stops him with a kind smile and slow shake of her head. He blushes with a silly grin. "Oh, hehe... sorry." Wysteria tilts her Pith Helmet in her head, as Glimmer flips a vintage fedora that she tips to Wysteria and jokingly says. "M'lady." Making Wyst giggle. Cinnamon pulls Snickers in bumping his hip with hers. "You look cute in your 'safari' gear!" She says. "He smiles again, complimenting hers too. "Wow! You look like a real adventurer!" The delightful voice of Sheri Baby is heard. "I think you all look fantastic, I am glad those shorts fit you, Cinn." Cinnamon gives a cute, sassy wiggle as Snickers smiles, his cheeks staying red. Everyone's attention is drawn to a large hot air balloon floating in. "Ahh Heeee!" Is heard coming from the balloon as it lands on the shore. "Who do we have here?" Asks Cinnamon. King Louie smiles, placing his hand on his god-daughter's shoulder. "That's my youngest brother, Louie Three!" Wysteria slants her eyes. "So, there are three brothers, the oldest is Louie, the middle is Louie Louie, and the youngest is Louie Louie Louie..." Glimmer smirks. "They had really creative parents." The two of them giggle.

Louie the 3rd hops down from his balloon. "Hello everyone! My brother says you all need a lift to Great Ape Mountain, So Louie Three is here for your needs!" A huge smile comes onto Cinnamon's face. "OH MY GOSH! I have always wanted to go on a hot air balloon!" Wysteria's eyes widened and a look of terror came over her. "Wait! Wait! Wait! I thought you said we were going by boat!?" King Louie looks at the concerned Flora. "I did, but Brother 1st was busy and Brother 3rd was in the area already." Wysteria quickly climbs up Cinnamon clutching her breasts. "We can't go up there!?" Cinnamon gently asks. "Why not..." Wysteria very over dramatically bounces up standing on Cinn's boobs going nose to nose with her. "Hello! I'm a Florasaur! I'm rooted on the ground, Skyflora go in the air, not Florasaurs!" seconds later, Wysteria finds herself still clutching to Cinnamon, with her face buried in her bosoms as the hot air balloon flies over the ocean. "I never would've figured you would be scared of heights, Wyst." Snickers says. A muffled grumble can be heard from Wysteria. Glimmer peeks over the side of the basket they are all riding in, looking at the beautiful view. "What do you hope to find on Great Ape Mountain?" Asks Louie the 3rd. "I'm assuming there must be another Starbit there, that's where my glowing hand is directing us, anyway." Louie the 3rd smiles as he adds heat to the balloon. "I remember your father's hand doing the same thing the time or two that I met him. It is cool that you are continuing his work." Snickers looks and notices a large amount of construction equipment parked all around the mountainous island. "What is going on down there?" Louie the 3rd frowns. "That's Skapelli's mining crew. They have been digging into the mountain for some time now, heaven knows what they are looking for." Cinnamon curiously asks. "Skapelli?" Louie the 3rd answers. "Skapelli used to live in Kokomo, but he has been working exclusively with Caligari these past few years. It seems President Marlon has offered him one big, fat contract." Snickers and Cinnamon give each other a knowing look. "Caligari has certainly had a lot going on recently. If they are here then there is no doubt about there being another Star shard here." Says Snickers. Cinnamon agrees. "If he is pouring the kind of resources into this he seems to be, He must be really needing the Starbits for something. Look at the lengths he was willing to go back at the beach, He definitely has some really bad intentions." Glimmer says in a matter of fact way. "Yeah, but that's why we have to get those pieces first!" A muffled "mmm-hmmm" can be heard from Wyst. The Balloon lands on the shore side of the island. "There is a pathway just through that clearing, it will take you up the mountain. I know you have your hand map, but that is gonna be your safest way up the mountain." Says Louie the 3rd as the gang exits the balloon basket.
