Pt. 2

After completing Pt. 1 It's disappointing that none of the monsters in this town have a backbone! How 'bout the rest of you knuckleheads? Who is the mightiest among you? Don't look at me. I'm only Hollywood movie star tough. I'm really a weakling. And us bikers only scare accountants and lawyers. We're just bullies with club patches. If you're looking for the really powerful in our society, it's the rich people. That peon is correct. Now gaze upon my formidable magnificence! So be it. We challenge this wire of a human to fight! KI-YA! I fight with the almighty dollar. How big of a check do I have to write to send you and your monster friends packing? Money means nothing to us! We only value strength in personal combat.

So long, suckers! *escape pod sputters and crashes* Say, Scratchy, is there room on your rocket ship for a rich raconteur such as myself? It's a cartoon rocket that Itchy will only explode in a horrible and humorous way. That doesn't answer my question. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Carnival Haunted House

Pt. 3

After completing Pt. 2 Mayor Quimby, you're the leader of this city! You have to lead a resistance to the Karate Monsters! Er...as your leader, I've only ever thought of myself.

Say, mister Karate Monsters...wanna try some delicious strudel in exchange for releasing us? Fruit pastry for your freedom? You'll have to do better than that! What if I added a brown sugar drizzle? Quest reward: 100 and 10 Itchy & Scratchy Rocket

Pt. 4

After completing Pt. 3 Maybe living in this monster apocalypse hellscape isn't completely terrible. We still have cigarettes... And making people wait in line at the DMV. Guys, let's not settle for this life. We haven't tried to get rid of the Ki-Ya Karate Monsters yet. It's too late for that, Lisa. Civilization has collapsed.

After completing Pt. 4 Lisa, what are you doing? Giving us a chance at freedom! I've nursed the Xylem leader back to life. To clarify, I wasn't dead. Just a bit wilted. I know I always ask this but, why do we need vegetables? By combining forces — humans, Xylem, and the plant aliens — we can defeat the Ki-Ya Karate Monsters. That's a great idea!
