Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, fam mister Jim here, creator of this show. If
you want to hear all the episodes and all the
seasons of this show, then you definitely are gonna need
a story Button.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Parents, Welcome to story Button.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Story Button is changing the way that families are listening

anything like that. We've made it super easy for your
kids to listen to audio content without having to pull
out an iPad or them steal your phone. So to
learn more about story Button, head over to story button
dot com today. And now I think it's time to

(00:35):
get back to the show.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Come here, come on.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
Yeah, yeah, that's it, kid, you got this, give it
to it.

Speaker 5 (01:00):
Remind me again, why aren't we helping him?

Speaker 6 (01:03):
Cuz dude eighty needs to do the quest himself.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
It's the only way to make sure he can get
a skill and some equipment.

Speaker 5 (01:12):
No, no, no, no no, don't do that.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Out poor kid.

Speaker 7 (01:20):
Yeah, if he doesn't turn this around soon, I think
we're gonna have to help him.

Speaker 5 (01:25):
M Perhaps, what say you, caltur? You want to go
help out boy? Jane?

Speaker 7 (01:33):
Why are you keeping that thing? He obviously hates everyone,
including you.

Speaker 5 (01:38):
He does not hate me. He just shows his love
in very strange way, ah like ah like biting my ear.

Speaker 6 (01:51):
You know, there's a lot I don't get, dude, but
right now you're top of the list of here right.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Who would have thunked that pig uh the berserk Beasts,
I guess actually belonged to that little old lady who
warned us about him seriously.

Speaker 7 (02:15):
But if she was gonna warn us, she could have
also warned us that he was only acting like that
because he eaten some fruit that he was allergic to.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
True. I'm not complaining, though. That battle took me from
level twelve to level fifteen. I got these gloves of
kind of sorda strong that give me plus three to
defense and plus two to strength, and I got to
copy one of the berserk Beet skills for real yet
something called glamour. When I use it, I can look

(02:44):
like someone or something else for one minute.

Speaker 5 (02:47):
Hmmm.

Speaker 7 (02:48):
That doesn't sound very useful, Maybe not to someone who's
only ever interested in swinging his sword. But with Aiden's brains,
I'm sure he'll come up with a good use for
it sooner or later.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Absolutely, And I'm glad you've got another piece of equipment, kid,
but I think that's all we got time for. We
gotta get to the underwater city of Azuria and find
this great sage Serenity to see if she can help
us with Glitch.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
Hold on a moment, Marco Miga. You both have your
ultimate equipment.

Speaker 6 (03:18):
Yeah, the staff of Good Vibes is in effect.

Speaker 7 (03:22):
Brew Yeah, and I've got my braziers and bruising, so so.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
I don't have my armor of awesome ness, and I'm
not nearly as strong without it. You should search for
it before we go any further.

Speaker 7 (03:36):
Yeah, we don't have time for that.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Hang on, Let's at least check to see if we
can find out where it is.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Er fine, let me pull up the fairy net and
take a look.

Speaker 7 (03:47):
Yeah, not that it'll make a difference unless it's practically
right next to us. We can't afford to waste any
time looking for it. Glitch could erase the future at
any minute, so we should only be doing things that
get us closer to beating him.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Hang on a second. That can't be right.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
What is it, pork?

Speaker 2 (04:05):
There is a quest for some ultimate armor posted, but
it's it's what out with that man. The quest is
located in Azuria. The same place we're heading. Well, great,
that's fantastic.

Speaker 7 (04:20):
Hang on, isn't that a little weird though?

Speaker 5 (04:23):
Maybe?

Speaker 3 (04:25):
But I say we just speak glad we don't have
to go out of our way and double our speed
to the coast.

Speaker 6 (04:30):
Oh man, you're about to say we should start running again,
aren't you here?

Speaker 8 (04:35):
It comes man up Chuck City.

Speaker 7 (04:55):
We made it the Sapphire Sea.

Speaker 9 (04:59):
Wow, it's beautiful.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
It is kind of pretty. Look look at all the
red dots and white stars on the waves.

Speaker 7 (05:12):
I think that's just you, pork. Maybe you should sit
down for a second.

Speaker 5 (05:17):
Eh, well, I said.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Set not fall, same thing. Leave me alone, yo, jacket.
Are those submarines?

Speaker 6 (05:32):
Well that must be how we get under the water
down to the city of Syria.

Speaker 5 (05:38):
I believe you're right. Come on, caltr who my armor
of hawsomeness? Awaits Come on, Pork back on your feet.

Speaker 7 (05:50):
We're almost there.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Mean, mean, lady, mean lady, make pork ryde? Why mean, lady,
big boy grind.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
I'll help you carry Amika.

Speaker 8 (06:10):
Oh whoa mondo?

Speaker 5 (06:15):
Cool man.

Speaker 6 (06:16):
I thought the subride was amazing.

Speaker 7 (06:18):
But this it's stunning, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (06:21):
The underwater city of Azuria. No other place like it?
In the whole world.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
How did they build all of this underwater? It's incredible.

Speaker 9 (06:32):
Well, first we had to build this incredibly large glass
stow and then pump all the water out. Otherwise building
Azuria would have been impossible.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Hey, wait a second, are you it is her?

Speaker 3 (06:46):
You're the great sat Serenity?

Speaker 5 (06:47):
Aren't you?

Speaker 9 (06:49):
Please just call me Serenity?

Speaker 5 (06:52):
Whoa?

Speaker 3 (06:53):
How did you know we were coming?

Speaker 9 (06:55):
One of my workers reported a very unusual party coming
down to visit our city, so I thought I would
be here to greet you myself, My.

Speaker 5 (07:05):
Dear sage, I introduce myself, Sir Caine, at your service,
a level sixty one iron defender, If it please your ladyship.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Ladyship, who's this kind? Where cane go?

Speaker 5 (07:20):
Pay no attention to my companion's milady. They are weary
from travel. Oh, and may I introduce my dear pet,
Sir Caltor. Oh. I believe the submarine ride may have
made him a bit seasick.

Speaker 6 (07:37):
Ah, then what made him tosses cookies the last six times.

Speaker 9 (07:43):
It's a pleasure to meet you all, but I have
a feeling you haven't come here to sightsee. I sense
you're on an urgent mission and you require help.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Oh boy, lady, do we ever?

Speaker 9 (07:58):
I see? So you seek help with something that will
help you stop Glitch the time Twister, and you also
seek Sirkine's armor of awesomeness.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
Indeed, you're as brilliant as you are, beautiful, Milady Caine.

Speaker 7 (08:14):
We're here to save the world, not get you a date.

Speaker 9 (08:18):
As it happens, I believe I can give you a
quest that will accomplish both of your goals.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Whoa really?

Speaker 5 (08:26):
Yes?

Speaker 9 (08:28):
You see, there is a nearby cave filled with diver bats,
awful creatures that can both swim and fly, and they
have been stealing our crops of sea vegetables for weeks now.
We need someone to block the cave entrance so that
the diver bats are forced to fly somewhere else to
find their food, otherwise they will continue to steal ours.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Oh wait a second. You said this quest would also
help us stop Glitch and get Kane's armor back.

Speaker 9 (08:58):
Indeed, Haines's armor here, but the game master was quite
clear that it cannot be given away. It must be
won by someone who completes a quest to help our city.

Speaker 7 (09:10):
Okay, fair enough, how about helping us stop Glitch?

Speaker 9 (09:14):
Oh, I'm afraid I can't help you directly be Glitch,
but I can give you greater protection against him. He
trapped several of you in a crystal of hourglass.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Yes, yes, and there's still one more hero who's trapped.
We think she may be in the sea salt caverns.

Speaker 9 (09:32):
I see as it happens, this cave full of diver
bats also has a large supply of a very rare
metal called tiitanium.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
What was that titanium? What's so special about that?

Speaker 3 (09:48):
No, not titanium, timeitanium.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
It's super rare.

Speaker 9 (09:54):
Yes, it is, and with it you could make yourselves necklaces.
That will make it so glitch is our glassibility cannot
harm you?

Speaker 2 (10:03):
WHOA, this sounds perfect. Just point us in the direction
of that cave, lady, we'll do the rest. That shore
was nicer serenity to ask some of our people to
watch colt Or while we stop these diver bats.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
It sure was. Though I do miss the little tyke.

Speaker 7 (10:21):
Hey, you're the only one who does What was that
I said? We need to find a good place to
collapse this tunnel so the diver bats can't swim out
to a zyia anymore.

Speaker 6 (10:30):
Ohthough the diver bats may actually be doing those people
of favor by eating their sea vegetables. Did you guys
try a bite of that sea broccoli?

Speaker 5 (10:40):
Woo?

Speaker 6 (10:41):
I thought regular broccoli was bad.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Hey, look at this part of the tunnel. It's pretty narrow.
I bet it would collapse if we could cause some
kind of disturbance.

Speaker 7 (10:52):
I think you're right. It's actually kind of surprising. None
of the nightquakes have made this cave in yet. And
by the way, where are all these diverbacks. We haven't
seen a thing yet.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Oh fine, by me, let's just cause a cave in
and get out of here.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
Wait, we gotta find some time tanium first.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Oh yeah, I almost forgot.

Speaker 7 (11:12):
Well what does time tanium look like?

Speaker 3 (11:15):
It's a really dark purple.

Speaker 7 (11:17):
Dark purple, kind of like that over there.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Exactly like that mica you found some. Oh, this should
be plenty for us to make some necklaces out of it.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
That's great, But how do we dig the time tanium
out of the wall.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
My justice strike ability should be strong enough to bust
that metal out of there and collapse this tunnel.

Speaker 7 (11:40):
Uh, strong enough to do that and bury us all
here at the same time.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
What's wrong with him? Beca dirt around hair, What up
my nose? Ha ha

Speaker 3 (12:04):
Oh Man, I think we're about to meet the bats.
