On day 1, I spawned in as an awesome Warden Ninja,
right in the middle of my Warden Ninja hideout! But there were no other Warden Ninjas around. In
fact, the whole place was full of Dread Ghouls! While several of them were standing at attention
, one of them was standing back and giving orders. “Destroy everything, my dark warriors. We are under orders to eliminate every
last Warden Ninja we can find!” I didn’t understand why this was happening,
but I wasn’t going to take it lying down. “Who’s giving you these orders,
you cowardly Dread Ghoul!?” That’s when I heard booming footsteps behind me. I
turned and saw a huge, dark figure approaching me. I was only a tiny Warden Ninja, and I didn’t
have any weapons yet, so he terrified me. “I gave the orders. I am Shogun Skull, the ruler of this land. And
all who defy me will be destroyed! Including you!” Shogun Skull pulled out a huge Katana.
He looked like he meant business. I needed to activate my special
power: Ultimate stealth! I practically turned invisible, immediately causing Shogun Skull and
his Dread Ghouls to lose my trace. “Where did he go!?” “He’s using his Ninja abilities to run away like a coward. No matter. We’ll find
and destroy him another day.” As much as I was ashamed to admit it, all I
could do was run. I got out of there and ran out into the Allium Fields, looking
for some food to satisfy my hunger. I managed to find some baked potatoes, but they
were being guarded by a band of three Brigands. “Excuse me, Brigands, would you be able to give
me one of your baked potatoes? I’m really hungry.” “Would love to, man, love to, but
here’s the thing, they’re all mine, and I want them all, so that’s gonna be a no.” The Brigands attacked me, even though I was
unarmed, and I needed to fight back. Luckily, my unarmed attacks actually did a lot of
damage, and soon, I defeated all three of them! “That must be my Ninja martial arts training
kicking in! There’s hope for me yet!” On day 2, after eating some of those
baked potatoes and storing the rest, I left the Allium Fields for the Ebony Woods,
looking for the right place to build a base. “The Ebony Woods are dark and mysterious,
perfect for a secretive Warden Ninja!” I used my martial arts powers to start
punching down a tree, and gathered up the resources to make myself a crafting bench
and used it to create a wooden pickaxe. Then, I mined into the ground for some stone, to make my first set of stone tools,
and a basic stone Katana of my own. “Now we’re cooking with gas!” I used my new tools to clear a tree and
start building a new, secretive Ninja Base. I did some mining underground because
I wanted the base to be secret, so most of it would need to be under the surface. “It’s a good start. I’ll do more later,
but first, I need to figure out what’s going on around here, and why Shogun Skull
is putting a hit on Warden Ninja heads!” I went exploring around the
Ebony Forest, looking for clues, until I found another gang of Dread Ghouls
that Shogun Skull had sent after me. “Big mistake, guys. This time, I’m armed!” I pulled out my stone Katana and made
short work of the Dread Ghoul gang, leaving only one remaining. “Tell me everything I need
to know about Shogun Skull!” “You fool! Even me talking about
him seals my doom. You should know, you were a key part of his---” BOOM! The last Dread Ghoul exploded. It must have
been Shogun Skull’s doing. He really was powerful. “But what was he trying to say!?
I’m a key part of what!? Better keep watching if you want to find out with me!”
On day 3, I continued searching around the Ebony Forest. I needed some kind of lead, some kind of
vital clue, before I could progress any further. That’s when I happened upon a small
hut in the middle of the woods, where a strange man was just sitting around. “Hi! I’m Zozo, who are you?” “I’m a Nomad.” “Oh yeah? What does that mean?” “It means I used to wander around a lot,
but since I got old and settled down, I don’t do much traveling these days.
What brings you to the Ebony Woods, Zozo?” He gave me some Mushroom Stew,
and I sat down to talk to him. “Well, I’m a Warden Ninja and I used to
live in a big Warden Ninja hideout with others like me. But then Shogun Skull attacked,
and now I think I might be the only one left.” “That doesn’t surprise me. You know, things were
once more peaceful across the land. There were dangerous creatures around and sometimes
a fight would happen, sure, but overall, we lived in harmony. Until one day, all of the
leaders across the land suddenly disappeared, and Shogun Skull rose up, taking on everything
and everyone. He’s the uncontested ruler now.” “But… We can’t just let that
happen. What should we do, Nomad?” “It won’t be easy, but your quest is simple,
Zozo: You’re going to destroy Shogun Skull.” From day 4 to day 5, I still had more
questions about how the world got this way. I just didn’t understand how one
person could take over the whole world. “Well, Zozo, you must understand that the Shogun
didn’t just win by sheer brute strength. In his Shogun’s Palace to the East, he made some
valuable alliances with different groups. First, he made an alliance with the
Dread Ghoul army. Promising all the land and food they could want if
they helped him rise to power. Then, he made a deal with the Bandit
Warlord, the leader of the Brigands. They could loot and pillage as they pleased
as long as they helped him crush his enemies. Dread Ghouls and Brigands started attacking
any village or settlement they could find, crushing the opposition to Shogun Skull’s rule. But the leaders? Nobody really knows
how Shogun Skull got rid of them. He hired some other mysterious group to do his
dirty work for him, but who they are has always remained a secret. In other words, to defeat
Shogun Skull, there are a lot of other enemies you’ll need to fight your way through first.”
From day 6 to day 8, I thanked the Nomad for all the information he gave me and
decided to set off and return to my base. It was getting dark, and I knew that
all the mobs would be coming out soon. But on the way back to my base. I saw
an innocent Pink Pixie cornered by a vicious feral Squall Golem, I needed to intervene! “It’s Ninja time!” Pulling out my stone katana, I ran in and fought
the Squall Golem. He was much bigger and tougher than your average Dread Ghoul, but in the end,
my stone blade and ninja training won out. The Squall Golem was defeated, and the Pink
Pixie was grateful for me saving her life. “That was so heroic! Thank you!
I majorly owe you for this one!” “It’s no biggie. I’m Zozo, the
Warden Ninja! Who are you?” “I’m Polly the Pink Pixie! And is there
any way I can help you with your quest?” “How about you come stay at my base for a
while, and we figure something out together?” “That sounds like a good idea!” So Polly and I returned to my base. I continued mining underground and
created a cool room for her to stay in. “I’m pretty pleased with this!” “Good! Now… I’m on a quest to defeat Shogun Skull. Do you have any idea what
might be a good place to start?” “Well, Shogun Skull is one of the
greatest warriors in the world. You’re gonna need to train really hard
if you want to get good enough to fight him directly. Maybe you should seek out
some kind of Ninja Master to train you!” “That’s an amazing idea, Polly!” And so I had my next step: Seeking
out a Ninja Master to train me! And if you wanna find out what
happens next, keep watching until the end! Some big surprises are coming!
From day 9 to day 10, I went to an underground cavern with my stone pickaxe to mine some iron
for my next set of weapons, armor, and tools. I managed to gather up some Iron Ore, when a huge
Hydra suddenly appeared in the cavern with me. There was no way I’d ever be able to
fight such a powerful monster directly, so I activated my Ultimate Stealth
and sneaked away to the exit. “Sometimes, the best way to
fight is to not fight at all!” From day 11 to day 12, I took the Iron back to my base. I created a furnace
and smelted it into Iron Ingots which I then used to make iron armor,
some iron tools, and an iron katana. And with all my fancy new gear and weapons, me and Polly the Pink Pixie decided to journey
out to a nearby Bayou to look for more clues. After some exploring, we
stopped for a minute to talk. “So, Polly, what do you know
about Shogun Skull? I’m trying to collect all the information I can -
I think it might help me in my quest.” “Well, in addition to his Dread Ghoul
and Brigand armies, I know he has an elite group - Three warriors, spread out
across the land, who help enforce his will.” “Three elite warriors? Sounds like
I better take care of them before I take on Shogun Skull himself.
Who are these three warriors?” “There’s the Gold Creeper, a walking weapon of
mass destruction that people always fear is gonna blow up. Then there’s the Fire Elemental, a
powerful being with mastery over flame. And finally, there’s the Crimson Wizard, a crafty and
intelligent sorcerer who has mastered the mystic.” “Wow. Sounds like I’ve got my
work cut out for me, then!” Before I could ask any more questions, a bunch
of Monster Mushrooms attacked us. Even with my iron katana, it wasn’t easy to take them
down - These mushrooms meant business. But when I did take them down,
I transformed into a bigger, stronger Warden Ninja, with twenty hearts! “Wow, this is awesome! Better stick
around to see what I transform into next!” “That’s rad, Zozo! But hey, maybe next time we should go somewhere a
little drier. This Bayou is just gross.” From day 13 to day 15, Polly
and I returned to my base. I decided to spruce it up a little,
adding some plants and other decorative improvements. And actually
decided to make myself a proper room. “Just because it’s a secret underground base
doesn’t mean it has to be drab and dreary!” That’s when I remembered
what Polly had said to me: “Maybe next time we should go somewhere at/t
little drier. This Bayou is just gross.” And it hit me: What could be
drier than the Mojave Desert! Maybe I’d have some luck finding something there. After taking some time to rest,
I went out to the Mojave Desert. It was just as dry and hot as I expected,
but there didn’t seem to be much going on. That’s when I was attacked by the Desert Lord, the ruler of the desert! Because
he was on his own home turf, he was even faster and stronger than a Ninja, and
it was too late for me to use Ultimate Stealth! I broke away from the fight and stood back, but
the Desert Lord still seemed ready to battle. “You are a trespasser on this
land! This is my desert, and I will never let you or the diabolical
Shogun Skull you serve claim it!” “Wait! There’s been a misunderstanding! I don’t
work for Shogun Skull, I want to defeat him!” “Oh… I’m sorry. I just assumed you
were working for the Dread Shogun.” “But why?” “Didn’t all the Warden
Ninjas use to work for him?” My mind was blown: It all made sense now! The
mysterious third group who worked with the Shogun Skull, it must have been the Warden Ninjas!
But… Why was he trying to destroy them now? “Desert Lord, you’ve given me a lot to think
over. Would you like to come back to my base, and we can work together to defeat Shogun Skull?” “While I hate to leave my desert, my true home, for now it seems working together is the most
sensible choice. Let’s go, Warden Ninja.” “The name’s Zozo. Follow me!” From day 16 to day 19, I returned to my base with
the Desert Lord. I mined a new underground room for him, complete with a bed, and even a few
sand blocks, just to help him feel at home. “It’s not exactly the desert, but
thank you, Zozo, this will do.” Seeing as how exploring had helped me discover
plenty of interesting new things so far, I decided to continue visiting new
locations so I left my base once more. I went out to the Prairie
next, to see what I could find. That’s where I ran into a Camel. “Hey, Mr. Camel. I’m Zozo. Is there
anything I can help you with?” “The name’s Joe, and as a matter of
fact, there is. For the longest time, I’ve wanted to build a nice beach house
on the rainbow beach. But it’s infested by Wraiths now. If you could help me clean out
those wraiths so I can build my beach house, I’ll give you a weapon I’ve been holding onto
for a while. Something you might find useful.” “That sounds like a good deal to me, Joe!”
From day 20 to day 22, I journeyed out to the Rainbow Beach to complete
my mission for Joe the Camel. It was a really beautiful place, I could
see why he wanted a beach house out here! When I ran into the group of Wraiths he told
me about, I drew my katana and charged in, slicing and dicing in a way that would make any
Warden Ninja proud! Soon, they were all defeated. “I’m getting the hang of this whole Ninja thing!” Then, I saw something quickly moving
towards me, and noticed it was the Gold Creeper - One of the elite Shogun Skull
warriors that Polly had told me about! “Oh no, I gotta bounce!” I didn’t have any long-range weapons, so
all I could do was run for my life as the Gold Creeper chased me. If it exploded
while I was too close, I was doomed! But it kept chasing, getting
closer, and closer, and closer… It started to get too close for comfort ,
so I jumped forward into some nearby water, hoping that it would at least
provide some protection. BOOM! The Gold Creeper exploded. It was
the biggest explosion I’d ever seen, taking a huge chunk out of the beach around me. But I’d survived, I’d completed
Joe the Camel’s quest, and I’d defeated one of Shogun
Skull’s three elite warriors! “I’d call this a successful day!”
From day 23 to day 26, I returned to the prairie and met with Joe the Camel again. He was pleased
to find out I’d gotten rid of the wraiths, and less pleased to find out that the Golden Creeper
had blown a big hole into the Rainbow Beach. “Still, a deal’s a deal, kid, and
you held up your end. You can take this set of throwing axes I
have - Since you’re a Ninja, you’ll probably benefit from some thrown weapons.
Perfect for those stealthy kinds of attacks!” “Wow, these will be so useful! Thanks, Joe!” “Don’t mention it. If you need me, I’ll
be off constructing my beach house!” With that quest taken care of, I decided to
continue exploring the world. I reached the scenic Red Oak Forest, where I ran into a gang
of Mossy Skeletons working for Shogun Skull. “You’re in some real trouble
now. No bones about it!” “That was an awful pun! Eat axe!” I tried out one of my new
throwing axes on the first of the Mossy Skeletons, defeating him instantly. Then I pulled out my Iron
Katana to deal with the rest. It didn’t take long for me to defeat them, all
except one, who I needed some information from. “Tell me what Shogun Skull is planning!” “Ha! You’re deluding yourself if
you think you can beat him. He just sent out the Armored Vindicator. If that
thing gets you, you’re doomed! DOOMED!” With a strike of my katana, I finished him off. That gave me enough XP to
level up, getting bigger, jumping up to thirty hearts, and getting
access to my Warden Sonic Boom ability. “This will be useful for helping me take on that
Armored Vindicator guy, if I ever even see him!” From day 27 to day 31, I started making my way
back to my base through the Ebony Forest. I was feeling pretty good about all my recent victories,
and the new abilities and weapons I’d gained. “I’m actually feeling pretty
unstoppable right now!” And that’s exactly when the Armored Vindicator
hopped out and attacked me. He was just as big and scary as the Mossy Skeleton had
implied, and he was wielding a menacing axe. “Your journey is at an end,
Warden Ninja. If you give up now, I can promise it’ll be relatively painless.” “I’ll never give up. I’m willing
to fight you to the bitter end!” “Good. I was hoping you’d say that.” The Armored Vindicator attacked once
more. Every hit he gave me was shockingly damaging. Even with all my upgrades, I
couldn’t beat him at my current strength. Instead, I turned and ran back towards
my base, narrowly managing to outrun and lose the Armored Vindicator. That
would be a battle for another day. When I reached my base, the Desert Lord and Polly
the Pink Pixie seemed impressed with my new size. “Looks like that training is really
paying off, Zozo. You’re looking swole!” “It’s true! You’re so much bigger
and stronger than you used to be!” “And since you’re here, I’ve also got
something that I think you’ll like. My research suggests that if you go to the
Rose Fields and seek out the Sergeant, he may be able to give you some information
that will help you with your quest.” “Wow! That’s amazing news!” “Just be careful out there. I’ve heard that the Sergeant isn’t exactly the
friendliest guy out there.” With that in mind, I left my base and
headed in the direction of the Rose Fields. From day 32 to day 35, following the Desert Lord’s
instructions, I went out to the Rose Fields. There, I saw the Sergeant, sitting
down and meditating among the roses. I didn’t expect it’d be that easy to find him! I approached the Sergeant and called out to him. “Excuse me, Mr. Sergeant.
I’ve been told you have some interesting information. Could we talk about it?” But the Sergeant didn’t seem like he wanted
to talk. Instead, he got up, ran towards me, and started fighting me with his fists. I
didn’t even have time to reason with him, all I could do was fight back
against his onslaught of punches. After I survived for long enough, the
Sergeant relaxed. He’d had his fun. “Nice skills, kid. Sorry, what can I say, I like
a good fight. What information did you want?” “I’ve been told you know a lot about
Shogun Skull. I’m trying to defeat him.” “Ah, Shogun Skull. I fought against his
army back in the day. I was involved in a lot of those battles - What is
it you want to know about him?” “I want to know what the Warden
Ninjas had to do with his rise to power. And I want to know why
he wants us all destroyed now.” “That much is simple. As part of Shogun Skull’s
takeover plans, he needed to destroy the leaders and guardians of the free people to demoralize
them and break their spirits. While his armies fought their armies, he needed an elite group
of assassins to take out the high value targets. That’s where the Warden Ninjas came in. They’re
excellent assassins, and with their stealth skills, they could sneak in and get the job
done. And they did their job, very, very well. But once their job was done and Shogun Skull was
in power, he knew that if the Warden Ninjas could help him into power, they might also be able to
topple his throne. So, he sent out his armies of Dread Ghouls and Brigands to destroy every Warden
Ninja. You, kid, are probably the last one left.” From day 36 to day 39, I returned to
my base. Knowing that I was public enemy number one for Shogun Skull made me realize I could really do with some better
armor, so I asked Polly for ideas. “I think the Shogun has a base in a tropical
rainforest where you might be able to find some diamonds. Diamond armor and a diamond
katana would be a huge help for you!” “Excellent idea, Polly, I’ll go there now!” I didn’t waste any time getting to the Tropical Rainforest and beginning my
search for the enemy base. On the way there, I ran into an Air
Elemental that lives in the forest. “Excuse me, kind sir, I have a quest I need help with. Some nasty Dead Worms have invaded
my beautiful rainforest. If you see them, do me a kindness and perform a
little pest control, would you?” “Of course! I’ll definitely get rid
of those Dead Worms if I see them!” I kept searching until I struck gold. Well,
not actual gold - I found the enemy base, guarded by a pair of Dread Ghouls, and
it was time to fight my way inside! From day 40 to day 43, the fight
began - First with the Dread Ghouls. That was an extremely quick battle
- I pulled out my throwing axes and threw one at each of them,
defeating them instantly. Then, I ran into the base, ready
for the real fight to begin! And it would definitely be a real fight, because the Armored Vindicator
was in there, waiting for me. “Finally, I can finish what I started and
destroy you, Zozo. At least this time, you won’t run away like a sad
little coward, like you did before!” “No, this time, I really am going
to fight you with all I’ve got!” The Armored Vindicator charged at me,
I unleashed the Sonic Boom, stunning him. While he was stunned, I finished
him off with my powerful Ninja swing. “I told you I’d beat you, Armored
Vindicator. I’m a Warden Ninja of my word.” With him gone, I searched around
the room until I found a chest. Just like Polly the Pink Pixie had
told me, there were diamonds inside. “Looks like my armor and
weapons are about to level up!” From day 44 to day 49, I crafted my
diamonds into a powerful diamond katana and even had some diamonds leftover
to make a full set of diamond armor “I’d hate to have to go
against me using this bad boy!” After that, I left the base with
my new diamond katana in hand, looking forward to finding something to use it on. And as luck would have it, I happened
upon a small gang of vicious Dead Worms. “Hey! The Air Elemental told me to
get rid of these! Time to kill two worms with one sword… Okay, a few more than two.” With my diamond katana, I defeated all
the Dead Worms with ease and destroyed the infestation. Not even the Shogun himself
could deny I was stronger than ever now! From day 50 to day 53, as I traveled
further through the tropical rainforest, I came upon a cave that I sensed an
unusual amount of power coming out of. “This must have something to do with Shogun
Skull. I should go investigate, just in case.” But when I was about to enter the cave,
a magical Gine came floating out of it. “Halt, traveler! You are approaching the cave
of the Fire Elemental. If you wish to enter, then you need to answer my riddle.” I remembered that the Fire Elemental was
the second of the Elite Warriors working for Shogun Skull. I needed to answer the
riddle, get in there, and defeat him. “Okay, what’s your riddle?” “I belong to you, but your friends
use me more often. What am I?” It was a challenging one. What do you think? Do
you know the answer to the riddle? If you do, let me know down in the comments to help me out! “Hmmm. Can you repeat the riddle?” “I belong to you, but your friends
use me more often. What am I?” “That’s tough… Hmmm… Wait, I’ve got
it! Your my name! It belongs to me, but my friends use it more
often when they talk to me!” “Correct. You may pass through.” I entered the cave, and saw the
Fire Elemental waiting for me. He sent a few fire blasts my way,
which I was luckily able to dodge. I fired a Sonic Boom at the fire elemental,
then ran in with my diamond katana. With a few quick, decisive swipes,
the Fire Elemental was destroyed. Two of Shogun Skull’s three warriors were
destroyed, and I was ready to level up. I got bigger, stronger, and my hearts grew
to 40. I’d also developed Ninja Speed, making me faster than ever before! “I’m on the path to becoming a true Ninja!
I bet the Shogun is quivering in his boots!” From day 54 to day 57, I was using
my new Ninja speed to zip through the forest. My powers were growing, but I
needed some kind of way to hone my skills. “Why can’t I find the Ninja Master Mentor? I’ve
searched everywhere and I still can’t find him… Unless… I’ve already found
him and didn’t even know!” That’s when it hit me. It was right
under my nose from the very beginning: The Nomad in his little hut in the Ebony Forest, the Nomad who’d known a suspicious amount
about what was going on in the world! “I need to go back to the Nomad right now!” So I sped right back to the
Small Hut in the forest, only to see the Nomad outside
again, waiting for me. “I wondered when you’d be back, Zozo. Glad
you’ve finally figured it all out. So, are you ready to begin your training?” From day 58 to day 62, the Nomad Master began his
training. He said there would be three lessons. The first would be cutting down trees to practice
my sword swings, and to help me with focus. “If you can slice through a tree, then
no enemy should pose a challenge to you.” Next, he made me practice sword fighting
with him. He was a tough opponent, but I could feel myself getting
better as the sparring went on. And for the third lesson, he released
a giant Mummy Scorpion, and got it to chase me around until I finally built up the
courage to defeat it with my diamond katana. Afterwards. I returned to the Nomad Masters hut. “You have done well, Zozo, and proven
you are worthy. I’ll teach you my special technique - Ultimate Slash, much stronger
than a regular slash. Use it wisely.” “Thank you, Master, I will use it with honor.”
From day 63 to day 66, I returned to my base, only to see it under attack by
a gang of Dread Ghouls straight from the Shogun’s Palace.
“Hey! Get away from my base!” I pulled out my Diamond Katana and ran in, taking
them out with my Ninja Speed and Ultimate Slashes. It didn’t take long for me to defeat them all,
and that’s when the Desert Lord ran up to me, “Zozo! We need your help! Some
of those Dread Ghouls kidnapped Polly the Pink Pixie, we need to get her back!” “Oh no! Where did they take her?” “Out into the Ebony Forest! You
need to get after them quickly!” “Don’t worry, Desert Lord, I’m on it!”
From day 67 to day 70, I used my Ninja Speed to run back through the Ebony Forest, looking
for the Dread Ghouls that kidnapped Polly. It didn’t take long for me to find them. “Don’t worry, Polly, I’m coming to save you!” Thanks to all my training, these
Dread Ghouls weren’t a challenge for me. I slashed through them with my diamond
katana, until only me and Polly remained. “That was amazing, Zozo, thank you! You saved
my life from all of those Dread Ghouls.” “I’m so sorry for ever letting you
get kidnapped in the first place, Polly. Let’s go back to the base!” We returned to the base, and I decided
that after all this, I needed to put in an extra line of defense - Building a
defensive wall around the base’s entrance. “Better safe than sorry, I can’t risk another
attack while I’m away like that again.” From day 71 to day 74, I
wasn’t sure where to go next. I knew that I needed to defeat the Crimson Wizard
before I could take on Shogun Skull himself, but I wasn’t sure where to find him. So instead,
I decided to go back to one of the deadliest enemies I’d left behind before.
- With my new skills and my diamond katana, I returned to the underground cavern
where I’d faced the Hydra before. As soon as I entered the cave, I
blasted him with a powerful sonic boom - Momentarily stunning him.
And ran in with my Ninja Speed, hitting him with Ultimate Slash again and again,
faster than he could even regenerate from it. Thankfully for both of us, the Hydra tapped out
and agreed to tell me anything I wanted to know. “You’re looking for the Crimson
Wizard, right? No worries, I know exactly where he is. You just
need to go to the Weeping Witch Forest. He’s guarded by some Brigands. Just go
after him and leave me alone, please!” I left the Hydra to his own devices and
ran off. I had a Crimson Wizard to defeat! From day 75 to day 78, I followed the advice given to me by the Hydra and traveled all
the way to the Weeping Witch Forest. “A place like this is a perfect hideout for an
evil wizard, why didn’t I think of this sooner?” I continued to go further in until I fell down a hill and found myself surrounded by
brigands, just like the Hydra told me. “You wandered right into our trap, Zozo! There’s
no way you’re ever going to escape us here!” “I don’t want to escape, Brigand. You and
your bosses are the ones I’ve come here for!” With my Ninja Speed and my diamond
katana, I zipped from Brigand to Brigand, taking out each one in a single
strike. Once they were done, all that was left to do was
hunt down the Crimson Wizard. But the last thing I expected was
for him to come to me, instead! The Crimson Wizard appeared right in front of me, and fired an energy blast that took
out a number of my hearts. It was clear that he was the strongest of the
Shogun Skull’s three elite warriors. “This is hardly even a challenge.
Why don’t you show me a good time, Zozo? Have you come this far just to perish?” “How’s this for a good time?” While the Crimson Wizard was distracted
by his own gloating, I ran in and struck him with my katana, hitting him so hard
and fast he was immediately destroyed. “Probably should have fully defeated
me before you started bragging, Crimson Wizard. And this means that I’ve
defeated all three of the elite warriors!” And that clearly meant something, because I leveled up into my strongest
form yet - with sixty hearts. “It’s time to finally defeat Shogun Skull!”
From day 79 to day 84, I returned to my base to give Polly the Pink Pixie
and the Desert Lord the good news. They looked amazed at my size and abilities. “This is incredible, Zozo!” “It’s amazing to see how far you’ve
come, Zozo. We’re so proud of you.” “Thanks, guys! I think I’m ready to defeat Shogun Skull. Do you have any idea where
I can find the Shogun’s Palace?” “I can help you there, Zozo.
I went there once. It’s deep in the Zelkova Forest, and I can lead you there.” “Thank you, Desert Lord, let’s go!”
From day 85 to day 89, the Desert Lord and I traveled to the far
east, into the Zelkova Forest. We stopped for a moment for one last discussion. “Desert Lord, it’ll be too
dangerous from here. I’ll go alone.” “Are you sure, Zozo? I
don’t want you to get hurt.” “It’s okay, I’ve been training for almost
100 days. I believe I can do this.” “Okay, Zozo. I wish you luck.” And with that, the Desert Lord
and I went our separate ways. From day 90 to day 94, I traveled deeper into the
Zelkova Forest, searching for the Shogun’s Palace. “It’s gotta be around here somewhere.
Where could Shogun Skull be hiding?” “Right behind you!” I turned around just in time to
see Shogun Skull standing right behind me. Before I could fight back,
he hit me, and everything went black. When I woke up again, I was in the
Badlands - Miles away from where I was supposed to be - with Osiris
standing right in front of me. “You’re not who I wanted to fight,
but I guess you’ll have to do.” I still had my diamond katana, thankfully, and
used Ultimate Slash on Osiris. He wasn’t that hard to defeat, but knowing how far I was behind on my
plans to defeat Shogun Skull now, I felt terrible. All I could do was make my way back
to my base and figure out a new plan. “This is gonna be a long week…” From day 95 to day 97, I continued
making my way back through the Badlands, frustrated that Shogun Skull and his
minions had put me so far behind schedule. And speak of the devil, a gang of Dread
Ghouls emerged from behind some rocks. “It’s over, Zozo. We’re going to
be the ones to take you down!” “Better mobs have tried and failed.
I don’t fancy your chances.” I didn’t have much time to waste on these
guys, so I hit them with a sonic boom, then finished the rest off
with the Diamond Katana, “Shogun Skull, your end is near!”
On day 98, I returned to my base, exhausted from all the setbacks that had slowed
me down and gotten in my way. I returned to find Polly the Pink Pixie and the Desert Lord
waiting outside and looking equally sad for me. “I’m so sorry that all of this happened, Zozo. You’ve been facing the impossible.
Perhaps we put too much pressure on you.” “Maybe the Desert Lord is right, Zozo. It
took a whole organization of Warden Ninjas to deliver Shogun Skull into power.
Maybe it was just wishful thinking to believe that one Warden Ninja
would be enough to overthrow him.” “Guys, we can’t afford to think like that. We
need hope if we were ever going to win this thing. Shogun Skull is throwing everything at us,
and that’s because he’s scared - Because he knows, deep down, that I can defeat him. So let’s
keep pushing, and prove that evil jerk right!” That seemed to pep them both back up. And if you

for the final battle, I’ll lead you to the Shogun’s Palace again. Let’s bring his
reign of terror to an end, once and for all!” “That’s what I’m talking about! Lead the
way, Desert Lord! I’m ready to do this!” On day 99, following the Desert
Lord through the Zelkova Forest, I reached the Shogun’s
Palace where we bid farewell. Of course, Shogun Skull was never
going to just let me waltz in. The gates opened, and first, he sent
out a band of brigands to attack me. “We’ve been promised a real good
payday if we can destroy you, Zozo!” “That’s money you’ll never get to spend!” I ran in with my diamond katana, supported by my
now iron willpower. I’d never let these brigands defeat me. I kept fighting until not a single
one of them was left, and only I was standing. “Who’s next, Shogun Skull? I can
take anyone you throw at me!” But the next group of mobs didn’t come
from the Palace. They snuck up behind me: It was a gang of silent Assassins! They were much tougher than the Brigands, but
with my expert Diamond Katana skills, I was able to still defeat them all. By this point, I was
getting tired, but I still had the will to fight. “Is that all you got, Shogun?” The gates opened again, and out stepped a
huge warrior. It was the Bandit Warlord, the leader of the Brigands who’d helped the
Shogun rise to power all those years ago. “You owe me, Zozo. You’ve destroyed so many
of my brigands. Do you have any idea how much effort it will take to replace them all? For that,
I’ve decided I’m going to destroy you myself!” “Not if I have anything to say about it!” I unleashed my sonic boom,
blasting the Bandit Warlord right in the chest. But he tanked
it. He was completely unharmed. “Ha! Pathetic! That barely tickled! Do you really
think such a feeble attempt would really defeat me, the mighty Bandit Chief, second only to
the Shogun himself? This is going to be fun!” Worried that this could be the end, I
pulled out one of my axes and threw it directly at the Bandit Warlord. To my
surprise, it destroyed him instantly. “Oh. I guess he was just bragging. Huh.” With his guard force taken care of, all
that was left was to enter the Palace, and battle the Shogun himself.
On day 100, I entered the Shogun’s Palace and found the man himself,
Shogun Skull, waiting for me, “Well done, Zozo. You’ve proven
yourself, and fought with honor. For that, I will give you the privilege of
a warrior’s death. You deserve little else.” “All that bluster can’t disguise how
scared you are, Shogun Skull! I know the truth - You never would have gotten
to where you are without people like me, and what the Warden Ninja gives, the Warden Ninja
can take away - That’s the true way of the Ninja!” “How arrogant, Zozo. Do you really
believe you can take away… THIS?” Shogun Skull began to
transform into an even larger, more dangerous version of himself,
the strongest I’d ever seen him. “No more talking, Zozo! It ends now!” “Well, at least we can agree on that!” The battle began. The two of us clashed
katanas - We seemed equally matched in skill, but because of his dark magic,
Shogun Skull was bigger and stronger. For a moment, I was worried it was over for me…
When suddenly, my warrior spirit kicked back in, and I found the will to fight again and I
also miraculously regained all of my health. I fought harder than I ever had before,
hitting Shogun Skull again and again and again, until he was almost defeated. I’d never
seen him look so weak and helpless. I charged up all my strength, and with a single blast of my sonic
boom, Shogun Skull was destroyed - And peace restored to the land once more. “I love a happy ending!”
