Part 19: More Explosions

Like hell!

Chapter 17: More Explosions


Yeah, it's just some rock walls of what were once homes.


Except that there's a guy in regal blue attire!

That was...
King Tycoon... ?


You have to play hide-and-seek with the king for some reason.


Now let me tell you, I've done this about 15 times.


I mean, I can do this whole part in about 20 seconds without a wasted step.


So he's cornered...





Before any questions could be asked, the team falls into a hole.

Dammit.


Immediately after landing, Faris and Lenna get up...

...
I knew it, you really ARE my sister!
I'm sorry... I wasn't certain at first, and then I didn't think I should tell you...


Lenna...
Uhhh... Where are we?
This place is strange...
Say, what happened to the old man?
Huh? He's not here!
We must have gotten separated when we fell...
He'll be okay. He's a tough old cuss! I'm sure we'll run into him again later. Come on, let's get going.




I could tell you what's actually happening,  He's climbing on vines and pipes and shit  but I like the image of Galuf appearing right in front of the team through sheer orneryness.


Either way, the whole Galuf separated part is just to watch an old man flail about in anger.

Now wait one cotton-picking minute! That was an awfully quick decision to desert me!
The chocolate syrup was just too goodYikes! Uh... Sorry!


Anyway, the only path out leads to a machine that turns everything gay makes everything all teleport-ish.

What is this?


The teleporting involves a lot of flashes and sparkles. Maybe it really does turn things gay.




This is a D- explosion at best, though. It only uses this effect and that sparkle.


A boring-as-fuck Mid/Cid segment!


I really want to punch Mid's face in.


I suppose that was a warp device.


...Aren't you supposed to be a pirate?


For being underground ruins, the plants sure are green.


You know, status effects aren't really all that useful in FF5. It's so much easier to just kill the crap out of things.




KARMIC COMEUPPANCE.

Somehow, they did something wrong, okay? They talk so damn much and I swear I want to bash someone's skull in for it.


You can still go in the hold and fight monsters if you so desire.

...But what's that ship over there?




Have to ruin my fun, don't you two?

I know this Cid/Mid hate is out-of-nowhere, but they talk so FUCKING MUCH during this next bit of story.


I think that's our line! Where'd you guys come from?
We rode the black chocobo to Crescent Island. Then, all of the sudden, a hole opened up beneath us, and we fell...
Wait, so we're below Crescent Island?


Huh... and this propeller ship?
Uhh... maybe you should ask Grandpa about that. Huh? Wait, where'd he go?


Hey, Cid-
Don't bother me, boyo!





Okay, Cid gets to live. This is sweet.

Cid, what is this thing?


I can't believe I'm getting to use one in the flesh! Er, you know what I mean.


Way to ruin the honeymoon, man.

(practically a joke) BOSS FIGHT: CRAY CLAW


This is all you need to know.

Rods broken: 7




That's it, the update's over. We'll fly around with the airship next time.

NEXT TIME:


HOLY SMOKES, WHAT IS THAT THING?!

Anyway, Updating is always more fun than I give it credit for. Maybe I should listen to myself and update my thread more than once a fucking month.
