Three Crescents, One Team - Day 10

This is the second morning without Laze's voice brightening the airwaves, narrating the latest Chaos Island news and giving us encouragement to start our day. The silence is unsettling, stirring up thoughts of the vast disarray of the island's happenings.

The Fatal-Fuchin war is in full effect. More people are picking sides and making the dividing line down the middle of Chaos Island more vivid. Thunder made it quite clear he has no intentions of letting up; according to rumors, the Fatals have set up bases on Kiha Crescent and are developing war machines to finally level the dojo to the ground. War Machines? Thunder's strong enough to take out all the fuchin, right? Why doesn't he just go down there and do it? ...No, there are lots of Happelicans guarding the dojo these days, remember? It won't be that easy for him.

Kiha Crescent... more and more people are calling it that, now that you think about it. The name "Awesome Crescent" is becoming scarce. Ramses's absence on the island is starting to settle in everyone's hearts. It was him that dubbed the volcano "Awesomeness Peak" all those years ago. ...It's a stupid name, maybe it's all for the best.

Marku, Ramses's successor, is failing the three crescents magnificiently. The other Happlicans ignore his orders. He's been the butt of everyone's jokes that you meet. No one takes him seriously now, not even the golden hammer. What was it that you heard? He tried usingit to ban...someone, can't quite remember who, but the hammer just laughed in his face. When he used it to teleport and vanish into some secret hiding place, however, it worked like a charm, complimenting his cowardice to a tee.

Under Marku's pathetic leadership, if you can even call it that, the Happelicans and the many Pelipeep underclans've taken it upon themselves to do what they see best. Many flooded village and Jewel Hunter Square restoration groups have gone to defend Marku's Mines. With everyone laughing at Marku and spitting on the coward's reputation, many jewel hunters see this as the right time to plunder the mines for all they're worth. Many battles have broken out, already resulting in death. Going to regulate this situation was smart, but the flood survivors really needed the care they were receiving.

The Happelicans, Chaos Island's biggest clan, are hardly even recognizable as a unit any longer. Lebra has sided with Thunder's cause, and Gauntlet continues to guard the dojo with the hundreds of Pelipeeps serving him. Spice has left all the nursing wing's busyness in Vodoo Lady's hands, putting all of her effort into searching for her best friend, the kidnapped Laze. You should probably find Roth before Spice does, or she's going to kill him.

Rumors of Ramses's death keep caressing your ears. Marku said he had...left Chaos Island to go find himself. Marku wouldn't like, would he? Nah, cowards don't lie. Ramses can't be dead; he's too...important.

Why did Roth kidnap Laze? Wouldn't he know everyone would want his zebra head? It doesn't matter. Without Laze, who's going to encourage us to work as a team?

Chaos Island...

Huh.
