Paper Goombah: TCC - Chapter 2

The story ... thus far:

After Gaijin and Aki successfully defeated the Fumon's Mech Suit, with the help of their new partner Yuki, they venture eastward following the glowing light of the Crystal. 

Meanwhile, our faithful boo Allochii along with her friend Geck follow a trail of clues to the whereabouts of another Crystal of Virtue. They head southwards to the Kingdom of Festizil, a lively kingdom where the streets are bustling day and night with parties, parades, and babes. But before they get there they have to travel the Tropical Path where Fumon (both Goombas and Koopas) can be seen crawling all over, as well as some rather annoying Fuzzies and flopping Cheep-Cheeps.

Once they arrive in town Geck decides to chase after skirts for a bit while Allochii asks about the crystal, but with no luck. She eventually stumbles into a shop and meets a long time fan of Gaijin and the rest of his gang, Otaku Toadette. Otaku explains that she's been going on several vacations across Sarasaland and was just picking up a souvenir when they are suddenly interrupted by a loud scream outside. Allochii takes Otaku with her as she finds a large crowd surrounding two individuals, it appears to be Geck and a woman.

Allochii intervenes between the two and apologizes for whatever Geck did. The woman furiously storms off as Allochii looks rather disappointed at Geck, but before Allochii can break out the frying pan Geck did find some important information on the crystals whereabouts.

With no time to lose the three of them race off to the center of town where a large fountain can be seen, embedded in it is an orange crystal.

However, as they were just about to reach the crystal a woman swoops in and grabs it for herself. It appears to be the woman from before that was aghast over Geck's eh-em ... advances. 

She then explains how the Fumon hired her the track down any of the crystals and was following Geck and Allochii in order to get it. However, she doesn't just want the reward for the Crystal ... She wants a little vengeance on Geck for his behavior earlier. 

She transforms into a half squid-woman before their very eyes, known as Octavia and  proceeds to grab Geck with one of her tentacles.

With no time to loose Allochii and Otaku team up to beat the lady into calamari.

The first phase of the battle is to free Geck, using Allochii's frying pan until he's eventually knocked free.

Octavia, continues to try and swat our heroes, but not before Otaku lays a finishing blow with her spin attack. 

With Octavia all washed up Allochii retrieves the Crystal, it suddenly glows and a pulsating light beams in a southwards direction.
