Story

Part 22-1: A New Rising

A few miles off the coast of Rogueport, a ship was sailing through some rough waters. Some of the sailors thought it might be the work of Cortez, but a koopa sailor on there wasn't so sure. A lakitu lookout in the crow's nest saw a whirlpool up ahead, and though they tried to get away, they were sucked in. The last thing the koopa sailor saw was two figures, one round with stubby arms and the other two round shapes with small wings, small appendages and a round shape connected to its head by a spring. The two figures exclaimed that they were free from a cave, with the second saying "kupo".

At Rogueport, Lord Crump was doing his daily routine of going to Podley's place and spending all his money (which no one knows where he gets) on Chuckola Cola ever since Grodus fired him. For nearly a year, Crump has done the same thing. Today was no different... until he noticed the headlines on the newspaper: Grodus, leader of the X-Nauts, had died. Crump was going to become the new leader and usher a new era when he kept reading and saw that the rest of the X-Nauts had also died! Being the only one left, he knew it would be a bit harder than he thought, but then saw an orange dot in the sky he recognized.

Outside Team Flash's office, Lakeep returned with the groceries for him and Zzub (Dryler was a skeleton so he didn't eat), when Crump spoke up behind them, saying that he was the new leader of the X-Nauts and wanted to make them his high-ranking officials. Team Flash simply laughed at him, saying he was more pathetic than they were. Crump said they would be sorry, and left. Team Flash didn't think so.

Part 22-2: Parlor Problems

On the west side of Rogueport, there was a clang near the sewer grate. Some voices were heard inside, saying that something didn't work. There was a poosh, and some foamy water came up. One of the voices had an idea, but then yelled "OW" repeatedly, saying there was some anti-ghost stuff on the grate. The other voice had another idea, and the voice exclaimed "OPEN KUPOME" which also didn't work. Some short, stubby blue arms started trying to get out, when the second voice remembered there was a warp pipe leading above-ground.

Soon the nearby warp pipe acted up and spat up Bloo and Mogmire, with Bloo holding a large bag with a money symbol on it. Mogmire asked what the plan was again, and Bloo began to explain it to him again: Everyone knew Cortez made regularly scheduled trips to Rogueport, but the actual schedule was known by only a few, one of which was Frankie, leader of the Pianta Syndicate. Therefore, they needed to use the coins they had to buy items for a certain code so they can go and see Frankie and ask him the schedule. Since they only needed a few coins and had 60, Mogmire asked some so he could get get conned by someone, but Bloo refused, so instead Mogmire just went to walk around aimlessly and take in the sites while Bloo went to get the information.

Unfortunately, Bloo ended up going into the wrong building, the Pianta Parlor. He was about to leave when Lahla distracted him, luring him in with her cuteness and getting him to use some of his coins. Unfortunately he was bad at the slots in the parlor, and though he hadn't used all his coins, Lahla got him to keep using them until they were all gone and he only had one token left. He was exhasperated, but figured if he got a bunch of tokens he could get an item and sell it for more money. He put the last token in and the slots began: It landed on a red seven, another red seven, and... a pickle.

Character Introductions

Trivia

• Part 22-3: The Title Is A Lie is both a reference to the cake is a lie and also referring to how Bloo and Mogmire split up despite the story title inferring they're perfect partner(cuter)s.

Connections with Other Stories

• Both Sniffle and Boss Bandit return from The Bandit Blundit; The Boo Bloo, as well as Cortez and Bobbery appearing in it. Torro also returns. This story is partly as a way to have closure on that story.
• Bloo and Mogmire last appeared in Four Short Anecdotes That All Have Something In Common By Topmonhit where they were trapped underwater. It's unknown how they got out and how Mogmire survived.
• This story occurs a few days after Omega, the end of which had Grodus die, which leads Crump to try and become the new X-Naut leader.
• Team Flash previously worked for the X-Nauts in X-Chaos.
• Lord Crump was last seen in The Oddtastic Adventure, where he was sent on an (unknowingly) suicide mission, although he apparently survived it.
