nice twist with the opening. you had me fooled with all those long johns.Alright, time for Long John Silver!
No, not that Long John Silver (Another time maybe)
No no no, not the John Cleese John Silver from The Muppet Show
Or Long Joel Silver (WhoTF even is that?)
& definitely not the restaurant but geez, how many different versions of LJS did the Muppets have?
This Long John Silver. The Tim Curry one.
Although it is mighty tempting to go with the muppet version of him but I shall pass on that. (for now)
But first,
Name: Blind Pew
World: Treasure Island
Location: The Inn
Party: None besides Muppet Donald & Muppet Goofy
Music: Rowdy Rumble (muffled)
Oh yeah BTW Sora is a muppet too. Some may say this is unnecessary given there are proper humans in the world, I say it is incredibly necessary!
Anyway, true to his name Blind Pew can't see a thing. But he's got the Daredevil thing going for him where his hearing is superb & he moves like a ninja when he hears a target. After the player's first few attempts at hitting him backfire, SDG huddle & whisper that they need to be stealthier. This changes the controls to a more stealth game style where the player is slowly tiptoeing towards Pew, being careful as to not knock over a mug or plate that would alert him. Even the background music quiets down for the remainder of the fight. The player can also setup booty traps for Pew to wander into such as precariously stacked barrels that'll over on him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One late night early into the Hispaniola's voyage, SDG & the rest of the crew are confronted by Muppet Maleficent & Muppet Pete.
(Eh, close enough)
Maleficent tries to sink the ship with a new heartless.
Name: Treasure Chestacean
World: Treasure Island
Location: Deck of the Hispaniola
Party: Captain Smollett (AKA Kermit)
Music: Desire for all That is Lost
Treasure Chestacean looks like a giant treasure chest with crab legs & pincers. Additionally as a secondary objective, the cutthroat crew are drawn to the boss, thinking it has real gold. This mean the player has to use RC to protect them, using fishing nets to trap them for a while. They'll eventually cut through with their swords & have to incapacitated again.
On the upside, Kermit's team-up move has him & Sora hopping high up & landing on the boss, momentarily shutting the chest closed & thus eliminiating its ability to use some of its attacks for a period of time.
Attacks:
-Claw Snap. Attacks with its pincers.
-Explosive Gems. Fires a volley of projectiles from inside the chest that explode when they land. Is disabled by Kermit's hop.
-Coin-lateral Damage. Shoots doubloons like bullets. Is disabled by Kermit's hop.
-Summon heartless. Spits up some of the treasure themed heartless of the world. Is disabled by Kermit's hop.
-Drop Sail. Cuts the ropes holding the sails up, making them fall on the party's heads.
-Crack the Shell. The boss' DM that it only uses when reduced to low HP. Climbs the side of the ship & attempts to bust open the hull in hopes of sinking it. No longer taking damage from regular attacks or magic, the player has a time limit to go below deck & use the cannons to blast the boss off the hull. Pirate heartless spawn to impede the player.
After the battle Maleficent decides to change plans & put SDG under a deep sleep. This conviently skips over the months of sailing & gets straight to the actual island when they wake up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Captain Long John Silver & Polly the Lobster
World: Treasure Island
Location: Beach
Party: Captain Smollett (Kermit) & Benjamina Gunn (Miss Piggy)
Music: Vim & Vigor
While the party had been fighting the preceding boss, Maleficent & Pete met with Silver & decide to join forces with him. The three hatch a new plan:
A. Put SDG to sleep for several months so they wouldn't interfere with Silver's mutiny.
B. Upon arriving at the island, turn the whole crew into heartless.
C. Pete uses some magic of his own to restore Silver's missing leg (because how else do you explain Pete's pegleg in DDD?)
Some BS is given as to why they didn't finish off SDG. Something about not wanting to raise suspicion among the crew with their disappearance. Naturally MATGSY will be pointing out in the Nitpick thread 'bout how SDG sleeping for over a month is still pretty damn suspicious as well as that there's no reason for them wait until reaching the island to replace the crew with heartless when they could just do it immediately but alas his excessive bitching will fall on deaf ears.
In any event, Sora wakes up in time to save himself & the important characters from getting heartlessfied. After exploring the island, fighting heartless & meeting up with Miss Piggy, they finally track down Silver as he & the heartless are loading up the treasure on to the ship.
If it wasn't already obvious why I broke canon to give Silver a new leg, it's so he would be nimble enough to put up a decent fight. He is flanked by Ogre Pirates, tall heartless based on Sweetums. Because Sora is a muppet, he's a bit weaker canonically than in human form, making Silver proportionally stronger than when Sora fought Hook or Barbosa.
Attacks:
-Dueling Blade. Attacks with his rapier. Can deflect aggressive attacks with his weapon, best to either let him strike first & counterattack or attack him from behind.
-Akimbo Flintlocks. Fires his 2 pistols. Sometimes it'll be 2 different party members, sometimes fires both guns at one for extra damage.
-Polly Ambush. Polly jumps from Silver's shoulder towards a party member, latching on to them & hitting with his claws. An RC is needed to throw him back to Silver.
-Ogre Punch. The Ogre Pirates' main attack.
-Big Teethums. The Ogre Pirates' chomping attack.
-Upstage. Is carried on the shoulders of 2 ogre pirates who swat away any attempts to attack him. Requires Miss Piggy team-up move (Pork Chop) to karate chop them hard enough they drop Silver.
-Boiling with Rage. Uses the Swedish Chef's boiling pot as a new weapon (he was the ship's cook after all). Heats it up, causing blasts of boiling water to shoot out.
-Lu Au. The Ogre Pirates grab Kermit & Piggy & shove them into the pot. Player has 10 seconds to get them out before they cook to death.
i thought it would be really funny if there was a comedy skit where SDG made fun of Maleficent's muppet form.
