Story

Part 24-1: Thank You For Flying Angry Airlines

At Gwarhar Lagoon sat the lab of Kienstrom, the Angry Scientist. He was not there at the moment, as he was at Popworld helping Dark Top with something. Instead, his two robots, Flare and Chopper, were watching the lab for him. It was rather boring, given no one knew the lab's location, until suddenly there was an intruder alert. Flare checked the lab map to find the intruder, but was suddenly chopped in half; the intruder was right behind them. Chopper was confused, only seeing dots up on the screen, and the two argued for a bit until Flare told Chopper to chase after the intruder, realizing they were in the ship room.

They then heard a loud crash, and went into the ship room. It was a bit wet, as the ceiling had a giant hole in it and water was pouring in. Chopper welded the door shut so no water would get into other areas of the lab, but unfortunately that left them stuck inside. In space, the intruder flew Kienstrom's turtle ship; the intruder was Ripvor, who still had the Beanstar, and was making his way to Rareworld, hoping to get some help from someone...

Chapter 1: Witch's Brew

Part 24-2: Lookin’ Good With Fury

10 days later, at Cauldron Keep, Ripvor hadn't made the best landing, but it didn't matter to him as he began to scale the keep. Inside, Cackletta and Gruntilda were looking for a new scheme, with Cackletta flipping through the television channels. Fawful, meanwhile, was in his room, admiring himself in the mirror in different outfits. Just then, he noticed Ripvor coming through the window, and thought it was a Fawful Dino that had lost weight. When Ripvor said he wasn't one of his deranged minions, Fawful activated the intruder alert system.

Cackletta and Gruntilda got up and ran to Fawful's room, finding Fawful being held by Ripvor's claws and under one of his feet (with the foot claws dangerously close to Fawful's neck). Ripvor stated he was there to propose a proposition; at first they refused, but then Ripvor mentioned he had the Beanstar, and was there to strike a deal with a witch.

Part 24-3: If I Make This Title Nineteen Words Long I Can Say That This Part Got To Exactly 700 Words

Backtracking to several days after the story began, at Beanbean Castle, Queen Bean and Lady Lima awaited for news from Prince Peasley, who had gone out to find it after it had disappeared after The Dark Perforation Army had invaded. They realized that there may be other voices beyond Star World other than Peach's that could awaken the Beanstar. As they mulled this over, a soldier came in to announce Prince Peasley's arrival.

Queen Bean and Lady Lima went to greet him, who announced that he had not found the Beanstar. He did pick up a trail of Beanstar dust, however, which led him to an underwater laboratory, at which point he opened the box he had to reveal Flare and Chopper, tied up. They tried to get Flare and Chopper to tell what they knew, but it was difficult, as they knew nothing. Chopper accidentally mentioned Kienstrom, and Peasley decided to send this "Kienstrom" a message to try and get more information.

Part 24-4: Magic Contraction

Catchin back up to the time of Part 24-2, Ripvor and the Witchy Fury Trio were sitting at a table, about to discuss the deal. Ripvor said he had the Beanstar, but no way to awaken it. When asked why he doesn't kidnap Princess Peach, Ripvor explains he had done that earlier without the Beanstar, and doing it again would attract too much attention to himself. Cackletta realized Ripvor was a former associate of the X-Nauts, but as it was former, given the X-Nauts had disbanded, Ripvor stated he had no ally that was their enemy.

Gruntilda asked why Ripvor came to them, knowing none of their voices would awaken it, but Ripvor knew Cackletta and Fawful had stolen it once before, so he figured they could find another voice. Finally, Ripvor told them that he agrees to only getting two wishes from the Beanstar, then giving them free reign over it. They agreed, and Fawful produced a magical contract, one that bounded them to it by magic and that if one broke said contract, the other side would get the Beanstar.

Meanwhile, Grunty was using Dingpot to locate an adequate voice. An image began to form in the cauldron, and Gruntilda recognized it as one of the slubes they had encountered earlier on Mintop. Ripvor demanded they leave immediately on the Hag 3, but Cackletta stated they should get ready first, with Fawful exclaiming they should bring their army.

Chapter 2: Cherry Picking

Part 24-5: Pie In the Face. That’s Classic.

Four and a half weeks passed, and they finally arrived on Mintop. On Hackney Fields, Numer and Cherry were in the middle of a picnic. As they talked, they were about to cut a slice of pie when the pie lifted up and hit Cherry in the face. A speist came out, followed by a whole gaggle of speists around them. They began to get attacked, and while Cherry called Zeth on her Platinum Shap, she was suddenly grabbed by Rivep's tail and dragged into the bushes where Rivep and Czar Speist were. The two argued a little, but then left for Conrad's Base.

Numer ran from a speist that had possessed his hammer when a beam hit it, knocking the speist out. Zeth showed up in his vehicle, and the speists fled. Numer and Zeth realized Cherry was gone, and a Speist appeared and gave them a PSP, which had a hologram come out of it of Conrad. Conrad explained that he now had Cherry, and wanted them to deliver the blue orb to him. The PSP then shot discs at them.

Numer and Zeth decided to break into Conrad's base, but they were suddenly attacked by a blast of magic, freezing them in place. Cackletta, Fawful, Gruntilda and Ripvor came out, and Numer and Zeth recognized (three of) them. They said they were there for Cherry, and were going to kidnap her from Conrad, leaving the two of them there, immobile. The four of them left to go find Conrad, who was, as Cackletta said, about to meet some "old friends".

Part 24-6: A Wide-Screen Dilemma

Backtracking once more to a week after the story began, Kienstrom returned to his lab with the money given to him by Dark Top at Popworld. He called for Flare and Chopper to get out some celebatory things, but obtained no answer. He found a tape recorder on the ground, which he pressed the "play" button of, and Prince Peasley's voice came through, explaining that they had Flare and Chopper at Beanbean Castle. Kienstrom didn't care, however, and went about his business.

One week later, he still didn't care, but had bought a wide-screen monitor. However, he was having trouble setting it up, and decided it was a job for Flare and Chopper. At the Beanbean Castle sewers, Flare and Chopper remained, waiting for Kienstrom to come. Queen Bean, Prince Peasley and Lady Lima waited for Kienstrom to come, though so far he had not shown. They heard a blast come from the entrance, and went to see what it was: Kienstrom had come, but had come with a ray gun, not caring about the Beanstar.

Prince Peasley came in and used his sword to knock the gun out of Kienstrom's hands, however, and Kienstrom obliged with a recording of one of his security cameras. They went to look at the video on it, and saw a black blur at a certain point; stopping it and clearing it up revealed it to be Ripvor. Knowing their culprit, Flare and Chopper were returned to Kienstrom, and they left. Now that they knew who it was that stole the Beanstar, Peasley said he knew exactly whom to call.

Part 24-7: Breaking the Base and Blastard

Returning to after Part 24-5, Cherry attempted to smash out of the prison sphere Conrad had devised for her. She was in his base, but having no luck in breaking out; according to Conrad, the sphere was indestructable. He explained to Cherry that he believes her to be the strongest of his foes, so kidnapping her puts his biggest obstacle out of the way. An alarm went off, and suspecting they were here, Conrad did a quick check to find they didn't have the orb.

Elsewhere, Cackletta, Fawful, Grunty and Ripvor were making their way through the base when the room they were in closed down, sealing all four exits. Blastard came down from above, expecting to see Numer and Zeth, but instead seeing the Witch Raptor Trio. After realizing who they were, a fight began; Slicer flew into the fight to help, but mostly was only stuck in the wall by Ripvor. Unable to move, Slicer was out of the fight, which only left Blastard; it fired huge missiles at them all, but they were sent through a portal that emptied out to itself, defeating it. The others, aimed for Ripvor, blew up on a door, opening a hole for them to escape through.

Part 24-8: Conrad Loses It

The door to Conrad's room burst open, and Cackletta, Fawful, Gruntilda and Ripvor burst in. Conrad was enraged at seeing them again, and they said they were there for Cherry. Conrad refused, and his army of Speists and Blasties attacked. The Witchy Fury army (Fawfulizations of various enemies) attacked, and as the two fought, the others began to fight Conrad. Fawful's headgear was possessed by a Speist, however, and it began attacking the two armies. Enough attacks on Conrad's hoverchair made it unresponsive, and Conrad was forced to fight without it.

Conrad used several rayguns at once, with each tentacle, but Fawful was quicker and knocked the ray guns out of his tentacles. Ripvor then ran at Conrad and sliced off his front two tentacles, and seeing that his army had began losing, Conrad quickly retreated, vowing revenge on them as well. With Conrad defeated, they went and took the container Cherry was in. They then left, returning to the Hag 3. A few hours later, Conrad's front tentacles were bandaged up, and he was having to use his back tentacles for things now.

Conrad then heard a door open, and saw Numer and Zeth come in; he yelled at them, and Numer said they were there for Cherry. Unfortunately, Cherry was already gone. Numer wanted to go find her, but Conrad said he would be the one finding her once his tentacles grew back, as they took his container, which he could track. Numer asked if they could use Conrad's ship to find Cherry. Conrad was flabbergasted at this suggestion, but when Numer tossed him the orb, he willingly tossed them the remote to his ship, stating that he didn't "want to see on scratch on that ship".

Trivia

• This is one of the only stories by Topmonhit that has chapters without a certain number of items to collect or large gaps of time inbetween. In fact, chapter 1 ends without an actual boss. This was to make it similar to Subsourian's stories Grodus Rising and Omega, as the main characters of this story appeared in both of those.
• The only minions of Conrad not to appear in this story are Turkle and Cagnorm. In an unused scene, Ripvor and the Witchy Fury Trio would have come across Turkle's room in Conrad's Lab, who was sick at the time.

Connections to Other Stories

• At the beginning of this story, Kienstrom is stated to be at Popworld, helping Dark Top. This occured during The Top Plot for Takeover.
• Ripvor previously stole the Beanstar in The Great Creator and The Great Destroyer, where Orp of The Dark Perforation Army nearly stole it instead.
• Cackletta, Fawful and Gruntilda previously appeared in Omega, where they were helping the Metal Army fight against the X-Nauts, which Ripvor previously joined in Grodus Rising. This was also where they met Numer, Zeth and Cherry. In addition, Gruntilda was now a ghostly head in LOG's robo-suit, after having been defeated in Omega.
• Conrad also appeared in Omega as part of the new alliance, previously working with Cackletta, Fawful and Gruntilda. Conrad was betrayed in the end by Omega like the others, and this story hints that he has come up with a plan for revenge.
