===Chapter 1: Night of the Funeral===
===Chapter 1: Night of the Funeral===
The game begins the first chapter with [[Flint]], who, after a group of Pigmasks start a fire in the [[Sunshine Forest]], is tasked by the fireman [[Thomas]] to rescue [[Lighter]] and [[Fuel]] who are trapped in the fire. They find [[Lighter]] by his house which was caught on fire, and find out [[Fuel]] was trapped inside. Flint rescues Fuel and escorts him back to the village. Suddenly, it begins to rain, which puts out the fire in the forest, however Flint and the other residents find out that his wife Hinawa and their sons, Lucas and Claus, haven't come back to the village yet. As such they begin a search for them. During the search, Flint hears from Isaac that earlier, he thought he saw Hinawa, then heard a Drago's roar, followed by bloodcurdling screams. Issac nervously grows skeptical about this, while Flint later receives the letter Hinawa sent at the end of the prologue and reads it at home. Flint then sets out with [[Boney]] to continue the search. As they continue searching deeper in the forest, they are unable to proceed through the forest due to a fallen tree. [[Jonel]] points out a cliffside that were seemingly slashed at by Drago clawmarks, which worries the people as Dragos are gentle creatures. They spot a strand of Hinawa's dress at the top of the plateau, and seek to scale the cliff. Wess sends Boney to call his son [[Duster]] who has the ability to help them scale the cliff. Duster makes a ladder with [[Wall Staples]] to allow them to climb up and retrieve the strand, only to have a fight with a [[Reconstructed Caribou|robotic cyborg caribou]]. Afterwards they learn of an unknown individual who has plans to reconstruct the animals living in the Nowhere Islands in similar ways.

They spot a strand of Hinawa's dress at the top of the plateau, and seek to scale the cliff. [[Wess]] sends Boney to sniff out his son [[Duster]], who has the ability to help them scale the cliff. Duster makes a ladder with [[Wall Staples]] to allow them to climb up and retrieve the strand, only to have a fight with the [[Reconstructed Caribou]]. Afterwards, they overhear people in strange uniforms and learn of an unknown individual who has plans to reconstruct the animals living in the Nowhere Islands.


As they near the end of the forest, they soon find Lucas and Claus were found by a river, and were being warmed by a bonfire. Then [[Bronson]] arrives to tell the residents good news and bad news. The good news was that Bronson found a Drago Fang which could be used as a weapon, however the bad news was that the fang was pierced through Hinawa's heart and killed her. Flint enters a blind rage caused by the fact that he couldn't save his wife, he then begins to assault the residents who try to comfort him, until Bronson strikes Flint unconscious with a log and temporarily puts him in jail.

The next day, Flint wakes up in jail after dreaming of the last time he saw Hinawa alive, as she and the boys were leaving to visit Alec on [[Mt. Oriander]]. Bronson remarks that Flint is the first person to have been put in Tazmily's jail. He explains that everyone understands Flint's grief and why he went on a rampage last night, but also admonishes Flint for his poor method of coping with the stress of his wife's death. Bronson asks Flint to see him once he gets out of jail, as the former managed to fashion the Drago's Fang into an effective weapon. Claus arrives to give Flint an apple with a Hand File in its core to allow Flint to open the prison door, then Claus explains that he is going to get revenge on the [[Drago]] that killed his mother.

Flint then goes off to Hinawa's grave where Alec forces Lucas to reveal that Claus actually did steal Flint's kitchen knife and run off to the mountains to avenge Hinawa, causing Lucas to shamefully run away while Alec realizes he was may have been too harsh on Lucas. Alec then asks Flint to go to his house, along the way Flint then heads to Bronson's to retrieve the Drago fang which was made into a weapon, heads to Alec's house. Alec then joins Flint as they go looking for Claus. Alec brings Flint to a house with a group of bizarre human-like creatures called the [[Magypsy]]s, lead by [[Aeolia]], who sent Claus off to the mountains with a [[PK Love|special power]] to aid him. As they scale [[Drago Plateau]], Flint and Alec chase off find several other Pigmasks who've been recently terrorizing Tazmily Village, and later find a baby Drago playing with a shoe that is unmistakably Claus's. Travelling further they find a reconstructed Drago with a missing fang, revealing that this was the one responsible for Hinawa's death. Flint pierces the Drago with its own fang and fights it. The Drago then lays injured as Flint attempts to kill the Drago, only to be stopped by the baby Drago and Alex, of which Alec tells Flint that killing the Drago will only put the baby in the same tragedy that struck the kids. In the end Flint decides to spare the Drago. Unfortunately, Claus was nowhere to be found, then he is shown lying unconscious on the mountainside.

===Chapter 2: Thief's Adventure===
===Chapter 2: Thief Adventure===
From here, the second chapter begins later that night, with Duster being drafted to go to the abandoned [[Osohe Castle]] by his father [[Wess]] to find the [[Egg of Light]]. Along the way, Duster encounters a suspicious man with a pet monkey, who had offered the farmer [[Butch]] a bag of money exchanged for pigs. Butch shows Duster that he is hiding the money inside of the well. In the castle Duster finds that it is taken over by ghosts, most of which are hostile although many are also friendly. One friendly ghost allows Duster to purchase the [[Rope Snake]] to help him cross gaps in the castle. Later Duster sees a strange girl run past him, as she drops a pendant along the way. After battling a ghostly musician [[Mr. Passion]], Duster finds the Noble Spitoon, and brings it home to his father Wess. However, Wess heavily scolds Duster because it was the wrong item to return, however Duster also gives him the pendant dropped by the girl, who speculates that the pendant belongs to the princess of Osohe Castle. Because of this, Wess joins Duster to go back to the castle to find the real treasure.

Duster also gives his father the pendant dropped by the girl, Wess speculating that the pendant belongs to the princess of Osohe Castle. Because of this, Wess joins Duster to go back to the castle to find the real treasure.


However they are ambushed by Pigmasks who send a [[Clayman]] to attack them, although the two defeat it. The two trek through the castle and then enter the room where the Nobile Spitoon was located, and Wess performs a dance to open the door to the rest of the castle to find the Egg. Along the way, Duster and Wess are almost shot with PK Freeze by [[Kumatora]], who was the girl Duster saw on his first visit, and also mistook them for a threat. Upon her pendant being returned, she joins them to search for the Egg of Light. They then reach the Egg of Light, just as several Pigmasks attempt to take the Egg. Kumatora grabs the Egg to escape, which sets off a trap sending them into a water filled chamber where they are attacked by the Oh So Snake. After fighting it, the trio is flushed out of the castle and Duster loses his memory. Wess and Kumatora wash up on a beach. Duster is nowhere to be seen, however. Wess suspects Duster ran off to have his "merry time", causing Kumatora to rebuke him saying Duster might actually be in danger.

===Chapter 3: The Suspicious Peddler===
===Chapter 3: The Suspicious Peddler===
Chapter 3 occurs simultaneously with Chapter 2. The Pigmask Army then plan to reconstruct the town of Tazmily Village with the help of [[Fassad]]. The chapter begins with a monkey named Salsa, who is forced and abused by Fassad to do his bidding, though Salsa is not involved with the scheme and simply wants to rescue his girlfriend, who was kidnapped by the Pigmasks. First they are traveling through a [[Death Desert|desert]] to find a passage that will lead them to Tazmily Village. They are attacked by a [[Cactus Wolf]] with Salsa being forced to fight it alone, at which point Fassad opens a secret underground passage.

Fassad and Salsa travel through a [[Death Desert|desert]] to find a passage that will lead them to Tazmily Village. They are attacked by a [[Cactus Wolf]] with Salsa, at which point Fassad is able to open a secret underground passage.


The passage leads to Tazmily's graveyard, where Salsa and Fassad then head to the village. Along the way they bump into Duster, and then Fassad overheard Butch telling Duster that he hid the money in the well. Fassad then stays the night at [[Yado Inn]]. The next day Fassad attempts to convince the town with a new infrastructure and "[[Happy Box]]es," which are like TVs, that will cause the village to be modernized. Fassad forces Salsa to deliver Happy Boxes to several residents in the village. They use the happiness boxes primarily to corrupt the residents of Tazmily and make their job of establishing authority easier.

Fassad later receives notice that the Pigmasks's raid of Osohe Castle, intended to obtain the Egg of Light, was foiled by a group of amateur raiders (Wess, Duster, and Kumatora). Knowing that the amateurs are in the basement, Fassad forces Salsa to drain the waters at the bottom of the castle, washing away the amateurs-- and the Egg of Light. Angered, Fassad goes back to the inn to stay the night. However, on his way there, he encounters a frenzy erupting in the town square: the man who sold Fassad his pigs is accusing a family in the town of stealing his money. Fassad takes the opportunity to continue his propaganda, while a strange girl in the crowd forms a telepathic connection with Salsa.

Fassad then once again stays the night at the inn. That night Salsa is ultimately rescued by [[Kumatora]] and Wess, who upon escaping are ambushed by Pigmasks in tanks in the forest. Fortunately, Lucas shows up and calls a Drago to attack the Pigmasks. Lucas then learns of the schemes the Pigmasks are attempting to put upon the Nowhere Islands, and Lucas begins getting stronger to help put an end to their plans.

Upon returning to the surface, Boney brings Lucas to Hinawa's grave where the gravekeeper Nippolyte gives Lucas the [[Courage Badge]], a present from Flint. The duo then head to the Chimera Laboratory in the [[Murasaki Forest]]. Lucas and Boney soon find themselves in the genetic-engineering laboratory where [[Dr. Andonuts]] and other scientists work. To infiltrate the lab, the two disguise themselves with Pigmask helmets and are tasked to find Salsa and his girlfriend [[Samba]], who were intended to be used for an experiment but escaped. While searching, they learn about the brutally abusive experiments performed on the once innocent and harmless creatures, turning them into dangerous chimeras. They later find the two monkeys, but then they run off due to mistaking Lucas for a Pigmask, and so the duo must continue chasing throughout the lab.

They also find out that several chimeras have accidentally been let loose in the lab. After battling an escaped [[Almost Mecha-Lion|unfinished mechanical lion chimera]], they learn that the lab is in a state of emergancy because their most dangerous creation, the [[Ultimate Chimera]], is still on the loose (being the last one) and is terrorizing the workers in the lab. The Pigmasks explain that the Ultimate Chimera is a deadly monster that will stalk its victims and murder them with its razor sharp teeth. There is no way to beat it so they warn Lucas to stay away from it at all costs. Lucas and Boney then continue their search, while simultaneously trying to avoid the monster. Eventually they find a strange man named [[Dr. Andonuts]] hiding in a trash can, presumably hiding from the Ultimate Chimera. He explains that he is being forced to work as the Pigmasks' chief technological developer by King P. Soon the duo manage to corner Salsa and Samba, only to realize they themselves have been cornered by the Ultimate Chimera. As they flee for their lives they drop their helmets, causing Salsa to recognize Lucas as the boy who rescued him from Fassad three years ago. While Lucas and Boney are trying to stay alive, Dr. Andonuts reveals the Ultimate Chimera has one weakness that he added as a precautionary measure, being the button placed on the monster's back that incapitates it when pressed, and wasn't able to be removed when it escaped. Salsa, wanting to repay Lucas for rescuing him, rushes in and presses the button as the monster is about to attack Lucas and Boney. As they leave to find the next needle, the yellow bird that rides on the Ultimate Chimera jumps onto the button, waking it back up and allowing it to escape into the wild.

By the time they return to Tazmily Village, they find that almost all of the residents have moved on to live in the big city, leaving the village deserted. Traveling through [[Argilla Pass]] they reach Ionia's house. Giving the Jar of Yummy Pickles Mixolydia left them, Ionia gives Lucas the [[Waters of Time]] so they can sprinkle it on the time-locked vines and allow them enter the [[Chupichupyoi Temple]] nearby. Along the way to the temple, they meet a hooded Mr. Saturn who gives the polished Courage Badge, now revealed to have been a [[Franklin Badge]]. At the temple, they meet the Masked Man, who tries to destroy the vines blocking the entrance to the temple, but is unable to due to them being frozen in time. He then notices Lucas and his friends, then Lucas has yet another telepathic link with him, and finally the Masked Man shoots them with lightning once again, but this time Lucas's Franklin Badge reflects the lightning back to him, and a battle starts. The Masked Man is defeated and then retreats, leaving Lucas to pull the next Needle. After sprinkling the Waters of Time on the vines, they enter a cycle of flowering and wilting, then the entrance to the temple is open. Just before Lucas pulls the Needle, Ionia comes and teaches Kumatora [[PK Starstorm]]. Lucas pulls the Needle and learns PK Love Ω, the strongest tier of the attack. Ionia disappears, orphaning Kumatora, who was taken and raised by Ionia many years ago.

As they exit the temple, a limousine pulls up driven by a well-dressed man. The man introduces himself as representing the king who he calls "Porky". He then claims that the Pig King has invited them to [[New Pork City]], which is where Tazmily's inhabitants have migrated to. Ultimately they accept the invitation expecting to find the final Needle there.
