Chapter 1: The New Adventure Unvaled


The Plinky Kingdom had seemed quite
peaceful thanks to a wizard named Vale who had supposedly stopped many disasters that had beset
Kingdom Plinky recently. The King
Plinky had made him advisor to the throne and rightful heir to the
Six magic plinky wizards. However
unbeknownst to the King
Plinky he was actually a pawn of Zasher, king of the nearbye dragon kingdom.
Vale had secretly taken the place of the King Plinky, and was secretly using his enchanted royal
ice cream recipe to transform every resident into a helpless amphibian
that can barely even croak for help. Even the six plinky wizards had
been turned into toads. Without them the plinky kingdom had no sorcerers
to cast away villians. And now the only sorcerer that wasn't a toad WAS a villain.
Since Vale just couldn't quite convince Vick Mcploob, the king plinky
that he was far more plinkyish and powerful than all six wizards put together Vale
ended up having to turn him into a toad too. He then trapped the King Plinky toad
and his six wizard pals in a giant cage making himself the only remaining
sorcerer in the Plinky Kingdom....all except for one.

We may have hope....


In a forgotten corner of the Plinky Kingdom there was a wise old wizard
plinky named "Wizard Plinky". Well..he was a retired wizard that taught
young aspiring plinky lads to follow his bootsteps. We did mention
that he went by the name of "Wizard Plinky" didn't we? Our hero Plinky would never
have become his apprentice had he not been mistaken for a wizard. That's
right, Wizard Plinky mistook Plinky for a wizard named Melvin Drake whose
appearance resembled Plinky in many ways. It all happened on the fateful day of May 5 when
hardly a toad plinky was now alive.



Chapter 2: In which Plinky is Mistaken for a Wizard and must once again save the day


It was a bright sunny morning in Fruit Punch Forest. Zoobly the blue dragon
had been in an argument (which he lost) with the Floating M about whether magic was real
which had made him very disgruntled. Later that morning
Zoobly wanted proof that blue dragons could be transformed into hedgehogs just like in
the Kaballa so
he signed up to be a student to the Great Wizard Plinky. Upon entering Wizard Plinky's
Cave, Zoobly saw a rectangular elven table, and bookshelves with various books about magic; above them were cabinets. On top of the wooden counters were bottles of herbs and other various assortments of wooden tools. He also saw a magic wand, walls made of peanut brittle, and a quill pen. He was not very impressed. Zoobly decided to talk to the Wizard Plinky to see just what this "magic" stuff was really all about.
"Umm...hi! My name is Zoobly I'm a blue dwagon and I want to
be turned into a hedgehog. Ahem, please?" said Zoobly.
The Wizard Plinky stared at Zoobly in shock and awe.
"What's so amazing?" asked Zoobly.
"Did you say your name was...Zoobly?" asked the Wizard Plinky.
"Yeah..what's so incwedible about that?" asked Zoobly.
"Then you must be...a descendant of Zoobly himself!" said Wizard Plinky.
"YER LOOKING AT ZOOBLY..HIMSELF!" said Zoobly who was now getting quite steamed.
"Then you must show me your magic powers..oh my..I never could have
believed nor concieved that Zoobly himself would enter my cave" said Wizard Plinky.
"Umm..I don't have any magic powers, wiz plink. Actually I came
here to like you know...gain them" said Zoobly.
"You've lost your magic powers?" asked Wizard Plinky.
"I never had any, maybe your thinking of a different Zoobly" said Zoobly.
The Great Wizard Plinky pondered this for a few hours.
"Perhaps I am..and perhaps you really are
a descendant of Zoobly but just have never heard the tale of err umm..Plooby Flooby Gooby
and Zoobly? The four gods who made the plinky planet?" asked Wizard Plinky.
"No. I haven't!" exclaimed Zoobly.
The Wizard Plinky then began to read aloud from his plinky mythology book.
"Way back long ago, before the world had being, four plinky godly dudes came down to the magic land of Planet Plinky. Their names were Plooby, Flooby, Gooby and Zoobly.
Plooby, with his amazing antennies created all the grass and trees.
Gooby created all the dragons who would live on the planet.
Flooby poured his wisdom onto the plinky planet to give the spirit of law to the world.
Zoobly's glorious spirit made all the life forms who would disobey the law.
These four great godly ones returned to the heavens, leaving the sacred ice cream for the plinkies.
Since then, the ice cream has become the basis for plinky providence.
Where the magic ice cream recipe stood became sacred land."

"So I'm a descendant of a law breaker? COOL!" said Zoobly.
"Yes lad, I do believe it was Zoobly who caused there to
be free will in the plinky kingdom. And that is why the sacred ice cream recipe has
been stolen. And it is being used in evil twisted ways, by one of my
old apprentices named Vale. I'm not quite sure what caused him to go to the dark side, perhaps I shouldn't
have taught him how to bi-locate at such an early age. Or maybe it was that black cape
I gave him on his seventh birthday. Whatever the reason he must be stopped before
he's the only wizard left and we all end up turned into helpless frogs!
I am in need of a new wizard..I need a new wizard whom I can trust
to never become evile...I NEED HIM NOW!" said Wizard Plinky.
Minutes later there was a knock on the cave entrance. Plinky walked in
the door.
Wizard Plinky stared at Plinky in shock and awe.
"Melvin Drake, it's great to have you back son! You being the great wizard
you are can surely be my apprentice! My how you've grown..and you got some nice whiskers growin too" said Wizard Plinky.
"Plinkies don't have whiskers," said Plinky. "And besides that I'm not Melvin Drake. I'm Plinky, and I came here to sign up for my first day of wizard school!"
"Oh..my mistake. Well at least I have some volunteers. I see I have two aspiring wizards. A quirky blue dragon descendant of a law breaker and a heroic young plinky who's growing whiskers and looks exactly like one of my old students, Mr. Melvin Drake" said Wizard Plinky.
"He's me arch rival. He wants his own television show. Do I reaally have to sit next to the blue dragon in class?" asked Plinky.
"Yes..you must learn to respect one another Melvin" said the Wizard Plinky.
"MY NAME IS NOT MELVIN" said Plinky.
"Well...it is now!" said Wizard Plinky.
"I can tell already that my name is mud" said Zoobly.
"Today's lesson shall be....UGH! Oh no..I feared this would happen. Plinky, you
must find Melvin Drake. My last remaining wand can't make objects levitate anymore. Come
back after Melvin cures my wand for I fear it is tremendously ill..I cannot teach you the ways of the wand unless I have one!" said Wizard Plinky.
"I fear you are twemendously ill in tha head!" said Zoobly.
"Where can I find Melvin Drake?" asked Plinky.
"Listen closely Plinky...I shall now read from my plinky mythology book!" said
Wizard Plinky.
"Can't Wizard Plinky think and speak for himself? Why does he have to wead from
that book all the time?" Zoobly whispered to Plinky.

Wizard Plinky heard Zoobly's whispering!

" I heard that Zoobly! No whispering or passing notes to Plinky. After studying the internal history of the Plinky Kingdom for a while, your first burning intellectual question will probably be: what part of the myths are history and what parts are fact? The answer to your question can be found in plinky bibles and mythology books. That having either been stated decisively by my brother Professor Gartroos, or been proven conclusively by his students. The book's authors have deliberately left a lot of things ambiguous and vague, to give themselves more freedom with the stories. So, no there is not enough strong, conclusive evidence to support one theory or another, nor has their been a unified official word on what is true and what is not. However Zoobly, you must keep in mind that these books that I read
aloud all the time will prove to be extremely useful in your journey!" said Wizard Plinky.
Wizard Plinky begen to read silently.
"READ ALOUD" said Zoobly.
Wizard Plinky began to read aloud.
"Melvin Drake came upon Fruit Punch Forest and regained the Moof Medalian. Great job Melvin! A nasty lizard wizard of Mordrip Castle took away the moof medalian from me. Don't let him get anything else!" Employing his vile sorcerous energies, the evil one is searching for the Sacred Ice Cream connected to the Plinky Kingdom. For it is there that one will find the divine relic, the Sacred Plinky Ice Cream, that contains the essence of the gods. Whomever Vale spills the ice cream on will turn into a toad. Thou must never allow the reptilian one to lay his hands on the sacred recipe. Thou must never suffer that lizard wizard to enter the Sacred Realm of legend. Though must also abide from and never recalcitrate the laws portrayed on the back side of the magic ice cream jar.
"Hunh?" asked Plinky.
"Plinky, go now to Blumpa Jungle. There, ye will surely meet the wizard plinky of destiny known as Melvin Drake. Present this wand to the wizard. I have foreseen that he will understand everything".
"U...oh! Watch out. Wizard Plinky is starting to foresee things" said Zoobly.
"You mean if I just walked up to Melvin Drake and presented to him a magic wand he'd
know EXACTLY what to do with it? You really think that Wizard Plinky?" asked Plinky.
"I don't think that, I foresee it that he will understand absoloutely everything. Don't argue with what is obviously in the future" said Wizard Plinky.
"But..it's a dangerous land out there...Vale's minions are swarming like
ladybugs, all throughout the plinky kingdom. And I don't even know the "ways of the wand"
yet!" said Plinky.
"That is true youngster....but I have also foreseen that you will come back in one piece!" said Wizard Plinky.
"What else have you foreseen?" asked Plinky.
"I have foreseen that you will not go alone. You shall take the blue one known as
Zoobly with you!" said Wizard Plinky.
"I'd wather eat my own tail than wander around aimlessly not even knowing the so called "ways of the wand yet". I guess I just foresee things differently than you do Mr. brilliant wizard man!" said Zoobly.
"Oh really? Do you have a crystal ball? Anyways good luck and be back in time for lunch! Oh, and remember this, the study of magic
is very pragmatical! Much more pragmatical and practical than you would
ever imagine!!" said Wizard Plinky laughing.
Zoobly began to realize that if Wizard Plinky saw what was to happen in a crystal ball, than he might as well just set off for Blumpa Jungle armed with nothing except a prediction. However as Plinky and Zoobly set
off as soon as they had reached Fruit Punch Forest they met up with what appeared to be a hideous servant of Vale. It was a plump, fat stout wobbly dragon with a sword and shield. Zoobly marched
straight up to the monster and tried to reason with him.
"Listen buster, I have connections with wizards and I'll have you know, the wizard I was talking with just earlier
foresaw that me and my pal would come back in one piece. Therefore you can't harm us!" said Zoobly.
"YEAH...And I'm allergic to wizards! Aaaaah" said the dragon knight running off into the woods in sheer terror sneezing all the way. He dropped his shimmering, crimson rubee sword behind. Zoobly's
eyes twinkled mischieviously.



"Are you pondering what I'm pondering Plinky?" asked Zoobly, his eyes still twinkling with sinful mischief.
"We should shout and tell him he forgot his sword?" asked Plinky.
"NO you pink knucklehead". "We should keep it! We can't just wander around these
dangerous woods completely unarmed and hope that a prediction made by an ancient old coot
who claims to be a wizard will save our lives! Is there even one brain in that..umm. head err...body of yours?" asked Zoobly leaning on a tree.
"I have two brains. One for each of my antennies!" said Plinky briefly grinning triumphantly.
"Okay, I really don't need to hear any more. Now how do we go ta Blumpa Jungle anyway?" asked Zoobly looking very recumbent.
"Well let's see..we are currently in Fruit Punch Forest, and to get to Blumpa Jungle we must go northwest and northwest of here is..GASP!...the haunted Cascade of the Giant Worm!" said Plinky trembling.
"Ohhh..I am so scared. I don't believe it! There's no such thing as a haunted cascade let alone
a giant woirm. Come on puffball pal let's go northwest!" said Zoobly.
So they went northwest against all odds not even aware of the dangers
at hand. There were wild woodland moofs, giants, elves and
all kinds of ghastly troublemakers. They were definately
tampering with odds unreckoned with.


The dragon and plinky good wizards in training went northwest and into the
cascade that lied before them. They came across a small little
pot. Next to it was a Plink Floyd CD and player...?


Chapter 3: The Snake Within the Waterfall?



In the middle of the fabulous glorious waterfall, was a beautiful moist musty
cave. Zoobly and Plinky came across
a small pot. They saw no gigantic worm.
"WHAT? This is where we are supposed to go?" asked Zoobly.
"According to the Magic Map" said Plinky.
"I KNOW! There must be a friendly snake in there who will only come out if I play my recorder" said Zoobly, happily
dispatching his recorder and playing his favourite song. The snake did not even pop
out a tiny bit of himself.
"Oh well..I've done all a blue dragon could do in a lifetime" said Zoobly laughing.
"Maybe the snake is in his changing room! Tee hee" said Plinky.
Suddenly there was a humerous twinkle in Plinky's eyes. He had noticed a Plink Floyd CD and player. Plinky looked
at Zoobly raised his eyebrows, and then happily popped it in and
sure enough the hilarious cute li'l snake popped out as well.

"You like...rock and ROLL music?" asked Zoobly staring in shock and awe (and plugging his ears).
"Other snakes jussssst don't have good tasste!" said the snake.
"Hey it's kind of catchy!" said Zoobly dancing all around.
"Yeah...it would be great..if it were turned down let's see...ALL THE WAY!" said Plinky.
"Where's the giant woim?" asked Zoobly still dancing like a happy goofball.
"I put that sign up to sscare away vissitors. There used to be a giant worm in here but I Sylo
the Snake ate him whole. He was a menace to the safety
of the plinky public I assure you. I would never bite you two becausse I like you're looks. Now anyway what do you want?" asked Sylo.
The rock and roll music was still blaring but Plinky knew if he turned it off the snake would fold back into his delicate ivory pot in an instant.
"We didn't come here to talk to you. We came here to pass by you so we can find Melvin Drake. It was an expedition a wizard assigned us with. We are in search of Melvin Drake, he's
apparently gone missing, and he was an old apprentice of Wizard Plinky! He was a great heroic wizard and one of the only few left and if we don't find him this entire kingdom could be doomed" exclaimed Plinky.
The snake began to explain everything while coiled into
an extremely odd shape..even for a snake .
"Ahem! I know what's going on..that crazy old coot has been sending MANY of his plinky students on a search party for Melvin. When news came that Melvin Drake had come up missing, his old advisor, Wizard Plinky told
you and Zoobly to search for him by using an artifact (the rusty old magic wand) of the Plinky Kingdom's legacy, which would in turn, lead you two wizard dudes to the lost super genious heroic wizard plinky known as Melvin Drake. But great news! Melvin Drake isn't lost guys! Melvin Drake is a retired wizard, and resides in DragoNorWoods as Plooshy's personal knight. What made him do that you ask? Feeling that Vale was on the verge of returning to the Plinky Kingdom, Melvin Drake fled to the
dragon kingdom and now lives in DragoNor Woods. After going through a small assortment of bad guy infested labryinths, Melvin and Plooshy met up. Plooshy turned Melvin Drake into a plinky movie star, he now has the role of a knight in shining armor. The artifact (being the magic wand) was a puzzle only known to Melvin Drake's royal bloodline. After he completed the puzzle, the artifact became recognized by all as a way to locate the sword of the red dragon which was far more powerful than the magic wand, which wasn't all that magic in the first place.

When you two bumbling buds finally came across the red dragon's sword, which little did you know came intact with a Fire property, you still thought you needed to return the wand to Melvin Drake. But ho ho dear lads. Believe it or not Wizard Plinky didn't even know that Melvin Drake had already solved the riddle of the wand. Turns out if you handed Melvin Drake that wand now, he wouldn't
have a clue what to do with it. It's only purpose is to attract the dragon with the red sword, and since you now have the red sword you must return IT to Melvin Drake and in-turn he will
consider you two as incredible legendary blue and pink heroes, and not only that but he will show you where a real magic
wand is that you can return to Wizard Plinky. You'll have to claim it's the old useless one though cuz otherwise he'll give you a whipping. AND..Melvin Drake will use the red sword's fire power to open up the Cave of Mysterious Shadows which lies in DragoNor Woods. So..in simpler words what you must do now
is set off for the Dragon Kingdom!" said Sylo.
"How are you sooo sure it will all work out the way you said it would?" asked Zoobly.
"I have foreseen it all good friends! Now run along you two! And use the sword wisely!" said the snake as he slithered off into the distance.
"We don't have to go to Blumpa Jungle?" asked Plinky.
The snake slithered back to Plinky and Zoobly for a few more seconds.
"No, however that would have been easier. Hmm..how are you going to get all the
way to the Dragon Kingdom. Perhaps you should hitch a ride from Flicker the Dragon who lives just two blocks from here, which would lead you to Blumpa Jungle. So yes you WILL end up going there after all" said Sylo.
Plinky and Zoobly went west hoping to find Blumpa Jungle. Against unsurmountable odds never
before reckoned with they journeyed west. When journeying
west they had to cross the sparkly crystal clear rainbow river. Unfortunately for
Plinky and Zoobly, the rainbow river was as treacherous as it was
sparkly and crystal clear. The two aspiring wizards would definately
need some sort of canoe if they were to get across. They would
also need some form of weaponry to take out the savage sharks and alligators. So they seeked help from the kind native plinkies who lived in a village nearbye.
"Hello and welcome to my hut" said Slow Sock the Native Plemurian Plinky.
"Wow! Nice place you got here. I love the decor and the spooky jungly
masks. WOW! A genuine authentic Plinky totem pole" said Zoobly who just banged his head
into the totem pole.
"Those are to scare away bad spirit ghosties" said Slow Sock.
"Wow! This one looks like a bad spirit ghosty" said Plinky.
"Mump hump wump mump hump wump mump hump" chanted
Slow Sock the Plinky of native plemurian descent as he built a canoe
for our heroes Plinky and Zoobly.
"Nice work. How'd ya do it so quick?" asked Plinky.
"With help from my Plooby statue" said Slow Sock.
"What's a plooby?" asked Plinky.
"The Happy Plooby, or Plobei,as he is known in the East,travels the lands spreading joy and happiness wherever he goes. His big belly is a symbol of happiness, good luck and generosity. Plobei is the deity of happiness, laughter, abundance and the wisdom of contentment!" said Slow Sock.
"Oh. I thought that was Buddha" said Zoobly.
"Well we'd better get on our way" said Plinky happily pulling out the canoe and steadily
setting it onto the sparkly crystal clear waters of the Rainbow River. Plinky and
Zoobly purchased oars from Mun Tumb Want Some the plindian chief and set off. They were only about 20 miles of h2o from Blumpa Jungle when suddenly
a sea creature from below struck their boat from the bottom side and they
sank deep within the water into an aquatic world. Plinky and Zoobly (who
have the amazing ability to breathe underwater)
were snoozing under the sea when all of a sudden out of the blue
came a hilarious looking red spotted fish with a light hanging out
of his forehead so he could see as to where he was going.How convienent!
"Hello young fellers! What brings you folks to the
depths of my fine most pristine ocean? I'm the only
fish left in this lake mind ye, the others have been
fished out by that wonderful grandpappy of yers!!!! So uhh..
like what brings you here??" asked the Giant Friendly
Fish of the Rainbow River.
"Hi Stoozy! Remember when I saved you when you were just a
wee li'l caviar stuck on land?" asked Plinky.
"I sure do, son! And I'm still most grateful. And remember when I raised
you, stroked your antennies and changed your diapers?"
"Nope I don't believe I do" said Plinky chuckling.
"Good cuz I don't either! But
now I can help
you out again" said Stoozy picking up Zoobly and Plinky with his fins and tossing them up into the sky out of the water. Plinky and Zoobly then found
themselves falling and falling until they pathetically plummited into
an exotic tropical jungle like area. Surely this was in fact Blumpa Jungle, the legendary jungle of the plinky legends of lore.

You have comical pictures to go with the story, I like it.
