Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals

by Blackbelt Bobman

Part 12




hey preupdate news, I hung out with red chocobo today in Williamsburg.


Here we are looking lilke badass gangsters in the Colonial Williamsburg Visitor's Center.


And here we are, our skin glowing with paleness.

Anyway.

I was in colonial williamsburg earlier, which was cool, and now I'm outisde Washington, DC. I'm totally going to the spy museum tomorrow. Anyway. On to Merix which is like ten seconds long.


Remember this way back in the first dungeon?


Alright that makes 2/8


Oh hey remember this from under Alunze Castle, the one with the crown.


wooooooo


Woo and it's IP is frost which is some kind of ice attack, probably a spell. OR NOT?


Well that wasn't very nice of him!


Huh, monsters you say? Shouldn't be a match for me.


I don't think you can properly comprehend just how amazing and awesome he is. But that comes later. First,


This little girl informed me that her father went to fix the bridge but hasn't come back yet, and there are monsters and shit. And of course I forgot to screen it.


They sell some great spells here, Trick and Fake can be great for some boss battles, and fireball will be the strongest spell available for some time.


And of course, they're selling it in some tiny village in the middle of nowhere. This makes total sense.

So how about that cave


Yeah that one.


Well I don't SEE any, do you? I think you're lying.

Before the bridge was destroyed, I had never seen any monsters!

Well I don't see any now, so. . .


Apparently I need to hit a switch.


Oh look a wall you can clearly blow up.


Great now I can cross.


Look the first revive! Okay so it's called Regain but it's really a revive.


Yeah. This is a lame dungeon.

There's this long part where Tia falls down a hole in the ground and we jump in after her, and it's really dumb and pointless and I'll just give you the highlites:


Oh no!


Yeah well we'd better be more careful!


Then Selan foolishly runs away and falls into another hole oh no!


Haha but then she says just kidding and they all have a hearty laugh ho ho ho. This adds little to character development or the plot. So I just gave you an abridged version.


Yeah so there are these monsters right


Oh my gosh Ork Mages and Lizardmen, oh my! Wait I've made that joke before. Anyway so even if I kill the enemies they keep coming back! But see that black orb? If I slash it with my sword


all the monsters die that must have been the source! That. . . black. . . orb. . .



There were no monsters even up here I don't see what the problem was!

Yeah now I can finish this! I like it when people watch.


Yeah. Actually, it's a good idea to go back and revisit him in Merix because:



You helped save my daddy! Take this it's my tweasure!


Sweet 3/8


So here's bound kingdom, in the middle of a desert which has no baring on anything I just wanted to point that out.


Of course the second I enter, trouble starts. Of course. The guard tries to combat the invaders and is quickly thrown away.


Hah this guy looks like a chump. However not two seconds after he enters, the single greatest RPG character of all time enters and steals the spotlight. COME ON PEOPLE, PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER!


Oh Dekar, you ask the most interesting questions. . .


This guy talks awful tough.


He seriously is. Picture proof comes later. I also would like to point out the hoard of monsters following that evil guy. Anyway, the evil guy is so totally And Dekar can only be described as

Very amusing. I am called Idura. I was sent here by a certain someone.

"Certain someone"? You take orders from someone without a name? Come on, get real!

Idiot! I choose for him to remain nameless! I see wit isn't your strong suit! Ha, ha!

Enough talk. Why did you crawl out from under your rock to come here?

You ARE slow. Okay, listen up: I'm going to destroy this kingdom. Got it?

With those silly monsters?! Are you joking or just bonkers? IN YOUR FACE!

Such a stinging tongue! Come, my fiendish friends, TAKE HIM!



You! Monsters! What are you doing? Shut up that idiot! Ha ha, words, words, words. Where is your real strength?!


He disappeared! He's way too awesome for you, shitheel!


Suddenly he appears in the doorway and with one fell swoop!


Wrecks all of those fucking monsters like it's nothing. That's my Dekar


Haha Blaster Master.

Against this, your monsters are. . . well. . . zeros! Less than nothing!

Grr, don't think you'll get away with this! You'll pay with your life!


As Idura tries to warp away,


Dekar interrupts him to utter one of the best lines ever from an RPG, ever. Seriously.




Pest! I'll take no more insults from you! I swear I'll get you! You can't hide!

Okay this time he actually leaves.

What was he so mad about, anyway? Well, anyway, no one in this world can outdo me. Aren't I great, really great?

I don't need to make up dialogue for him, what he says so is great on its own.

Then maxim and Selan comment on how he's strong but not very bright. But who cares?!


Whahaha monsterette, oh Dekar you card.


Oh lawd, this guy is so strange. He's the prince of Bound Kingdom, and. . . well, just watch: He'll be played by and his servent will just be

Your highness there he is!

I'll get him!


A grueling battle ensues, but of course the prince comes out victorious! How hard could a red slime be. . .



Excellent! Excellent Sir! I shall always remember your bravery.

No need for compliments! As a prince, it's my duty to protect the land!

Oh excellent! I am so moved by your words! They nearly bring a tear to my eye!



Your Highness, please do not endanger yourself.

Nonesense! Without me, who would protect the land? Dekar, watch and be strong like me!

Yes your Highness.

Good. Josef, I am going back in.


The back of his head is so cool I wish I had crazy anime hair like that!

So, he was Dekar. . .

This is one amazing country. . . In every way.

Yeah, Selan really hit the nail on the head with that one.


I'm famous apparently.

Yeah, that's right.

Well! I've heard a lot about you! Seems like you've got quite a reputation!

Nah it's nothing, really. . .

Nah, don't be so modest! I've wanted to meet you, and see your stuff.

What for?

What any swordsman wants. A duel, Maxim!


Oh geez he's pretty pushy.

Alright, you must be tired. What brings you here?

I want to know about a man named Gades.

Yeah, I've heard of him. He destroyed Gordovan all by himself, right? Man, is that for real?

Very real, unfortunately.

I just can't believe there's someone who can destroy a whole city by himself.

I know, it's a bit terrifying.

Yeah? I think it's great! I'd love to meet the bum. Of course, I'd take him down.

Really?

By the way, I've heard Gades is around.

Are you sure?

Yeah. And Idura said that someone sent him, too.

You think it was Gades?

Idura manipulates monsters, right? So Gades must be behind it. So aren't you going to introduce me to your lady friends?

This is Tia, a childhood friend.

Nice to meet you.

And this is Selan, from Parcelyte.

Hey.

Oh, so you're Selan from Parcelyte! I hear you're tough as nails. I didn't know you were so cute!

A sweet talker, huh?

Well I'm great with a sword, and not toobad at soothing words, for pretty ears.

Haha, really?

The castle's not much, but make yourselves at home. And Maxim, let's square off later, okay?

Yeah, Dekar rules. Okay, Sorry but it's getting late, I'm worn out. I'll continue with the next dungeon next update, if not tomorrow night then I don't know when but soon. I'll try to do it when I get home from walking around DC tomorrow.

And I used Foomy for the update. Well for MOST of it at least, I may or may not get a new capsule who I used for about two battles in the next update.

Also, Guy is gone
