Ren: This is the last of the supplies, Ioz. Ioz: I wish it was the last of this Jitatin Quest-! Ren: I'm tired too, Ioz, but Jenna warned us the next Treasures would be harder to find. Ioz: Wouldn't be half as hard if we had a real crew, instead of a woman and a monkeybird! Ren: Where are Tula and Niddler? They should've been back by now. Ioz: Look who else is back! Ren: Noy jitat. If we don't move fast, Bloth's scout ships will have us pinned in. Prepare to cast off! Vul: She'll make a pretty addition to our crew, eh, Torg? Torg: Yeah, Vul--there's plenty of room on our fruit barge! Tula: I choose my crews carefully, fellows. Uh! Vul: Uh! Torg: Uh! Tula: Trying to leave without me, Ioz? Ioz: It wouldn't be much of a loss, woman! Tula: Where's Niddler? Ren: No sign of him. Ioz: And that's no loss at all! We can't wait any longer, Ren, or those kreld-eaters will have the harbor sealed. Ren: Tula, take the helm! Niddler will just have to catch up with us later. Niddler: Pickled minga-melons, hoo-hoo...mmm...oh, it's not often a monkeybird gets a feast like this! Oh, I'm tired, I've been eating so much... Bloth: Let's see you get out of this one, Son of Primus. Konk: Fire! Tula: Ay jitata! Pirates: Arrrh! Whooaaa! Ioz: Scut pango, Tula! If you can't lose these gantha pigs, I will! Tula: Thanks for your confidence, you swaggering sea dog! Pirates: Aaah! Ren: We're trapped. Unless--Tula! Help me drop the sail! Konk: Noy borga! Pirates: Aaah! Ren: Full sail, Tula! Ready--pull! Konk: Urrh! Vul: Naja dogs-- Torg: Watch where you're going! Niddler: Don't shout, Ren...I'm trying to take a nap... Ioz: Close call back there, huh? Lucky we had a strong hand at the helm! Tula: Noy jitat, Ren! I don't know how much longer I can sail with this--smilge-tossing windbag! Ioz: Scut pango, woman, name your port and I'll put you ashore! Oww! Ren: Save your fire for Bloth! I'm sure we haven't lost him for long. I just hope we haven't lost Niddler for good. Tula: Maybe he finally had it up to here with Ioz--by Kunda, I know I have. Ren: By my father's sword--how much longer can I hold this crew together without finding another...Treasure of Rule! Bring her around, Ioz! Our Quest continues! Vul: A kreld-eating stowaway! Ahh, makteh[?]--this monkeybird's devoured our whole melon supply! Torg: And our water! Niddler: I-I'm sorry--pickled melons always make me so thirsty... Vul: Shut your break! We're not far from this island, Torg. Maybe we can find water there. What was that? Vul, Torg: Yaaah! Keep away! Get away! Get away! Niddler: I don't like the sound of this... *squawk!* Monster: Wraaaaah! Niddler: Then the monster chopped at me--I-I got shot with an arrow--it--it was horrible! Tula: Well, you're safe now, Niddler. Niddler: We'll all be safe as long as we're not headed that way...that way?! Don't tell me! Ren: Yes, Niddler--that's where we'll find the next Treasure of Rule. Niddler: I said don't tell me! Ren: Relax, Niddler, you can stay here and guard the Wraith! Tula: Noy jitat--look! Those must be Niddler's monsters. Ioz: I don't see them shooting any arrows. That monkeybird had too many minga-melons! Ren: By the twin moons! The Compass has never acted like this before--the beam is moving! Ioz: Ay chonga--which is more than we're going to be doing! Tula: Convinced now, Ioz? Ren: I think I can save the sail! Tula: I'll give you a hand. Ioz: And I'll steer us out of danger, as usual... Tula: Oof! Nice landing, Ioz. Ren: C'mon! We'd better get moving before whoever fired those arrows finds us. Noy jitat--what in the twenty seas are you? Ioz: The ugliest thing I've ever seen, that's what. Shoo! Creature: *whining cries* Ren: You scared him, Ioz. Ioz: Chongo-longo! Woman: You have violated the island of Delpha and let the margar escape--but you won't be so fortunate! Ren: Huh? Tula: No! Woman: Oof! Back off--this one is mine. Tula: Unh! Woman: Aaah! Oof--kill them all! Queen: Hold your fire! I want them alive, Captain Norga. Norga: But Queen Malu--these intruders allowed the margar to go free! Malu: That pest won't elude us forever. As for these three, we'd be better served by putting them to work. Norga: Not this one--she challenged me and I demand-- Malu: But I command! You fought bravely. Your life is spared. Now take these slaves back to our village. Ren: Listen, your majesty--I am Ren, son of Primus. I come in peace on a Quest to save our world. Malu: Then your Quest has just ended--for good. Niddler: Where are they? All this waiting is getting me nervous--and nervous gets me hungry! No sign of them...but those are minga melons! Maybe I should try and find my friends after all! These mingas sure look bad--but this looks bad! Ooh, I warned them, but no, they wouldn't listen to this monkeybird! Now I've got to find them! Grab a bite while I can...yuck, chewed minga. Nothing but chewed ming-aaahhaaooo! Oof! Except for this one! Margar: *whimpering* Niddler: So, you've been eating these melons! Well, you're not getting this one--yaah! Oof--unh. Oww! Margar: *giggling* Niddler: You didn't want the melon--you were trying to warn me, weren't you? Margar: *mumbling* Niddler: Hey! How did you do that, you--you little sneak. Come back here! Oof! Where is that minga-napper? Oh--I'd better get myself out of here! Delpha Warrior: Another fruit-eating pest like the margar--kill it on sight! Malu: And I hereby sentence you to hard labor in the claw pits--for life. Ioz: Life?! Scut pango! Ren: What kind of queen cares nothing for justice? Ioz: Noy jitat, Ren, you should know better than to argue with women. They never listen. Malu: Too bad about that one--she's brave and strong. Norga: But she's the enemy! Ioz: By my sword! I'm not spending my life in this kreld-hole! Tula: Noy jitat! Hear me, queen--I've had enough of this sea scum! Let me become one of your warriors! Ren: Tula! Ioz: Ay chonga--I think she means it! Norga: No, my queen--I don't trust her! Tula: Who is queen here--her or you? Malu: You dare speak to me like that? Well...your boldness has won you a chance, Tula. Norga: But your majes-- Malu: Silence, captain! Tula will join your guards at the claw pit. The queen has spoken! Norga: Yes, my queen. Ren: Tula--I can't believe it. Ioz: Why not? That jitatin eco-wench sold us out once before! Niddler: No, Tula--not you! Ioz: So this is how we end up, Ren--feeding a bunch of kreld-eaters. Yah! Norga: Hahah, the tarnda will eat anything, even slaves. Now get to work on those rocks. Your friends will work all day without water. Tula: No friends of mine. What are you staring at? Get to work! Ioz: Chipango--I'd like to treat that Tula to a dip in the claw pits. Ren: She's got something up her sleeve...I think. Niddler: Kind of thirsty myself...I don't know what's going on, but I'm not risking these monkeybird feathers till dark! Ioz: By Daven's beard--I won't last much longer without water. Ren: By Kunda--looks like we won't have to. Day's over. Norga: Not for you! Troublemakers work overtime! Ren: Enough! Tula: You heard her! Ren: Oof! Ioz: Tula's got something up her sleeve, all right--an iron fist! Ioz: From the moment I first saw that wench, I knew she was trouble! Niddler: Tula! She's up to something, and I've got to find out what--if I don't get skewered first! *splutters* Oof--can't let her get suspicious... Tula: Captain Norga sent me to relieve you. Where are the keys? Delpha Warrior: Only Captain Norga has them. Tula: This will have to do...unh--rrrhh--noy borga! It won't budge! Norga: I knew you'd try something like this! Unh! Tula, Norga: *random grunts* Malu: Captain Norga! What is happening here? Norga: She was trying to free her friends! Malu: You've disappointed me, Tula. Tula: I, ah--*gasping* --mm, I was just going to give them some water. Norga: I say kill them all now! Malu: And I say that Tula will prove herself tomorrow on the Delpha cliffs, by fighting the one called Ren to the death--or die trying. Tula: Yes, my queen. Norga: Clean her up, make sure she doesn't leave her quarters. Niddler: Ow--Tula! Tula: Shh! Just fill the bucket and listen to me! Malu: This is indeed an auspicious day for battle! We've finally caught the margar--this pest will be sacrificed tonight at the sunset ceremony, when we celebrate Tula's victory in combat. Norga: Or her death. Margar: *coos* Tula: Noy jitat--it--it can't be-! Norga: Let's go, "warrior." Shoot them at any sign of treachery! Malu: To the death! Ren: Enh--Tula, I don't want to hurt you and rr--! Ren, Tula: *grunting* Ioz: If you want to kill him, you'll have to kill me! Tula: With pleasure, Ioz! Ren, Ioz: Rrmff--yaaaah! Malu: The sea will bury them. Ren: Nice catch, Niddler! Ioz: Thank Kunda. Niddler: No, thank Tula--it was her idea! She's jumping next, she has it all planned! Ioz: Ay chonga! Guess I misjudged that wench! Niddler: Where is she? Something must be wrong... Ioz: I'll create a diversion. You and the monkeybird fly in and get the woman. Ren: It's too dangerous, Ioz! Ioz: There must be a way. Ay jitata--we'll fix the glider! Ren: This should hold...I hope. Ioz: It will. Let's get going. Niddler: *gulp* I don't think we're going anywhere... Bloth: You aren't easy to find, boy, but persistence has its rewards. By my soul--looks like I'll be getting the Compass and the Treasure! Ioz: The beam's pointing right back to that jitatin village! Ren: So that's why Tula stayed...I'm warning you, Bloth, you're making a big mistake going in there! Bloth: Nice try, boy, but I'm not worried. You, on the other hand, should be. Ren, Ioz: Aaah! Tarnda: Raaaannnnhh! Norga: You should be proud, Tula! Now you look like a true Delpha warrior! Tula: Thanks to you. Chongo-longo, thought I'd never get away from them... Margar: *whining* Tula: If you are what I think you are, I've got to get you out of here! Norga: Even with her friends gone, she still betrays us! Malu: So this is how you repay me, Tula! Tula: You don't understand! This little creature can help save Mer! Malu: At sundown, you and the margar perish! Ren: Arrh! Hurry up, Niddler! Niddler: I'm trying! Yaa-haa! Ren: You think you can get us both back to the glider? Niddler: *squawk* Do I have a choice? Ohhh... Norga: Save your strength, traitor--I tied them myself. Malu: You never really were a Delpha warrior...but you'll die like one! Bloth: The Treasure! Torment my eyes--that blasted boy wasn't lying! Malu: Pirates! Get them! Pirates: *shouts, sword sounds* Margar: *whimpering* Tula: Yes--maybe we can help each other! If we concentrate! Margar: *murmur, chattering* Konk: Konk see no Treasure! Bloth: Over there, you smool-brain! Tula: We did it! Konk: That the Treasure? Yaah--oomph! Ioz: Scut pango! What's she doing with that little rodent? Ren: Noy Jitat! That rodent is a Treasure of Rule! Bloth: I'll take the creature, wench! Tula: Never, Bloth! Norga: I'm going to finish you myself! Ioz: Sorry, she's with us! Tula: Enh! Well. It's almost good to see you, Ioz. Bloth: They're getting away, woman! Norga: But you won't, slave! Niddler: *squawk* Bloth: Curse you, monkeybird! Unh! Norga: Aaah! Bloth: Konk! Mantus! Let's get off this jitatin island! Ren: Set a course for Octopon, Ioz! Ioz: Let the warrior woman steer--she's earned it. Tula: Noy jitat--did I hear a compliment, Ioz? Ioz: Ah, must have been the wind. Jenna: We may never know how this Treasure of Rule evolved into a living thing, Ren. Niddler: Probably from eating every minga-melon on Delpha! All I got was a seed. Tula: Oh, he's a Treasure of Rule, all right. Margar: *murmur* Ren: That margar's brought us one step closer to stopping the Dark Water forever. Jenna: *gasp* You've made Octopon bloom again, Ren! Ren: Well, I couldn't have done it alone. Like it or not, we're a team! Ioz: Chongo-longo--never has there been a Quest or a crew such as this one! Tula: Well, what are we waiting for? Aren't there still five Treasures left? Ioz: Let's set sail! Niddler: The sooner the better! This Treasure of Rule is getting on my nerves!
