Part 1: Arrival
Your starship drops you in the ocean on Lagos due to the reflective atmosphere of the planet causing technical difficulties with
teleporting. So your first introduction to the locals is with an angry underwater Kraken.
However, you make it to shore and recover on one of the many tropical beaches. Wandering around you meet Prince Robert's bodyguard protecting the hideaway-cave from pirates. After defeating him your first mission will be to take over the bodyguard's duties until he has been repaired: and there's a fleet of 20 pirates snooping around for you to scuttle!
Part 2: Stolen Wolf Mecha
The pirates have stolen one of the wolf mecha from Prince Robert. This particular Alpha Wolf contains some hidden data files. It's critical that the prince gets it back before the pirates discover the information which could put Robina in danger. Search at least 10 of the islands for the stolen wolf, eliminating any pirates as you go. Once you find it, you will have to pilot back to Prince Robert's base.
Part 3: Crow's Nook
Prince Robert has received news that someone in Crow's Nook knows where Robina is. To get there you will have to commandeer a pirate
ship and then explore the archipelago (use the arrows on the keyboard to move, and try heading north-east).
There are new types of weapon available in Crow's Nook: cannon and ammo (cannonballs), and mugging guns that let you steal gold.
Head east past
the shop to talk to Tetra, a former Baroness on Planet Marina. The Shadowscythe invaded and she fled along with many others. Her people entered the
Arthurian zone and were captured by Prime Minister Constantine who planned to use them as slaves in the mines of Arthuria, but Pirate Rhubarb rescued
them and brought them to Lagos. Now they pirate the Arthurian ships and try to free her people. Tetra believes that the royal family (King Alteon, Prince
Robert and Princess Robina) are unaware of what the Prime Minister is up to.
Unfortunately, Rhubarb has disappeared and Captain Barbarosa has taken over and kidnapped Robina, and now the whole Arthurian Navy is after them. Tetra hopes you can find Robina and prevent all-out war. She thinks Robina might be hidden on an island in the middle of the Barracuda Reef.
Part 4: Barracuda Reef
Navigate your stolen pirate ship to the island and defeat the pirates guarding the cave. Open the treasure chest, solve the puzzle and obtain a key.
You'll need to collect 4 keys by travelling through different parts of the Reef before you can get access to Barbarosa's fortress in the middle. Two of
the keys are on islands, one is on a red boat and one is guarded by a crazy kraken.
Fight your way to the cave where Robina is imprisoned. She's grateful for your attempt to rescue her, but she doesn't want to leave Lagos just yet - take
her back to the rendezvous ship so she can plan an attack against Barbarosa. You'll have to be quick because Barbarosa's men have rigged the reef with
depth charges to blow everything up.
Part 5: Arthurians vs. Pirates War
With Robina safe, the Arthurian Navy has attacked the pirates on Lagos. The pirates are greatly outnumbered, but their desperation to protect Crow's Nook and avoid being enslaved by Prime Minister Constantine makes them dangerous enemies for the powerful Arthurians.
Part 6: Kringle
There have been reports of a pilot crashing on planet Lagos and being captured by Captain Rhubarb. You are sent to investigate and find footprints
leading into a cave. inside the cave, you overhear a male and female talking. The male is Dr. Kringle, last seen on Planet Thoh, and the female is Robina trying to help hide him here, hoping the Shadowscythe won't find him.
With them is Captain Rhubarb. You're confused and think that the Arthurians and Pirates have made a deal, but Robina announces that Dread Captain Rhubarb is a robot controlled by her to scare the Arthurians! Her grandfather Alteon I was murdered for discovering Prime Minister Constantine's slave trade. Robina found him just before he died and he told her everything. She hasn't even told her father or brother: she is afraid for their safety if they knew, because Constantine is powerful in the lands of Arthuria.
So Robina disguised herself as Captain Rhubarb to strike back at Constantine throughout the galaxy and gathered a group of loyal mecha pilots who became her Pirates. However, King Alteon II, Robina's father, began worrying about her travelling so much, so he gave her a locket containing a tracking device for her birthday - which led the Arthurians to the Pirates on Lagos.
Part 7: Arthuria
The pirates were defeated by the Arthurian Navy, and Crow's Nook has been seized. Prince Robert discovered that Robina was Captain Rhubarb, but has agreed to
keep the secret, but she must return to Arthuria. To keep the legend of Captain Rhubarb alive, Robina asks Dr Kringle to be her successor: having him disguised will
also keep him safe from the Shadowscythe. However, he has no desire to be gallivanting around like a pirate at his age. He is concerned about keeping The Gift safe,
so he suggests that Robina plugs the Gift into Captain Rhubarb's power supply, while thinking about what it was like to pretend to be him. Captain Rhubarb's suit
comes to life!
Robina asks you to go with her to Arthuria to help defeat Prime Minister Constantine. The people gather to watch the starship arrive with the Princess, and Constantine
suggests to Alteon that perhaps he should send one of his men to rule Lagos, so that Prince Robert can return home as well. The King agrees to think about it, but
makes no promises. As the Starship touches down, Dread Captain Rhubarb is the first one to disembark to the surprise of the locals. He announces that he is not their
enemy, but the true enemy is Constantine. And there is proof: there is a secret slave base underneath the Royal Palace.
Constantine tries to escape in his mecha, but you defeat him. Alteon pardons Captain Rhubarb for all his "crimes", on the condition that he never returns
to Arthuria again. Plus, he can take the starship and all the wealth that Constantine accumulated to distribute to the people of Planet Lagos.
