The Old but New adventures of Comic Kid.
           Ned Noodlehead by day, Comic Kid hero by night.

_Chapter 1_
TV Time

“Turn ON i say! Turn ON! Don’t make me use my special mind abilities on you.” threatened Comic Kid as he lazily waved the TV remote at the TV. The TV was not turning on for him. After hours of button jabbing, kicking, screaming, throwing the remote at the TV (Which i don’t think you should do. It doesn’t work!), he even climbed up this huge building and asked the old super hero if he could help. But with no success he had to resort in using he masterful powers to turn it on. This amazingly did not work either (I wonder why). His ‘special abilities’ had came to a decision that it was broken. Most likely just to old.  It looked like a trip to a TV store and what better place then Reality TV Island, they have loads of TV’s there (I wonder why :P).

After a short trip Comic Kid landed in the quiet street of TV Island. Strange though. There was no one around. Just loads of broken TV’s scattered underneath rows of houses. Uhuh! Look at all the other people with broken TV’s! This must be the perfect place to find a new TV, thought Comic Kid. It didn’t take him to long to find a TV store. In fact there were many TV stores. All in the one street. Comic Kid had a problem. Which one?

Now, Comic Kid loves his TV. Of course his beloved comic books will always be number 1, but his TV can be always number 2. He had to use his ‘special powers’ into choosing the right store for him and BAM! There, in the far side of the street was a small store with a huge TV in the window. Glowing from the screen were huge letters saying, ‘Buy Me! I WUV COMIC BOOKS!”

Comic Kids mouth dropped and his eyes turned into those adoring Japanese style eyes gleaming magical stars. He needed that TV! He raced into the store threw the money at the cash clerk yelled Keep the change and ran out the store with his new TV in hands.

One hour later Comic Kid had his feet proped up on his favourite couch, a hot chocolate in his hand and his monstrous new TV was set up waiting for him to turn on and play his favourite show “X-Popmen Heroes: The Cartoon series. With a flick of a button the room filled with a white light. The sound beamed around the room. His curtains shook and his hot chocolate turned cold. Then everything went quiet.  A message displayed on the ginormous screen. “The show has been canceled to show the new series of: Sponge Pop Circle Pants!”

You can ask any one on Super Power island what happened that very night. What happened after those evil words appeared. But lets just say Comic Kid had to get another new TV. Didn’t i say earlier that throwing the remote wont solve anything!

Booga Bay’s Shark in Robot Form?

Binary Bard and the Robot Shark
The sequel chapter to Binary Bard and the Rocket on Ice:

“Well, that was some fish,” grumbled Binary Bard when he’d recovered from his shock. Unfortunately, he was still pretty upset about the whole scenario about crashing his rocket and ruining his suit because of a little fish. Angrily, he picked up a chunk of ice from the ground and threw it at his custom-designed rocket. Bee-bee-bee-beep! The rocket hummed its familiar noise, startling the bard, who immediately rushed over to it. “Hey!” he cried, “It worked! My rocket’s in working order again! Wahoooo!” He climbed into the vehicle once more and turned the engine on. But before he could take off, a loud rumble nearly knocked him off his chair in surprise. Binary B. looked out from his round window and screamed.

“Shark!!” Scared now, BB quickly put on his seatbelt and flew into space. Yet this strange shark, who looked like it was made of silver metal with a pair of glowing red eyes to match, flapped its fins as if they were wings and flew after Binary B. in hot pursuit. Binary Bard could hear its crackling, mechanical “wings” flapping through the skies, and did not dare look behind him. “I guess one bad nightmare just leads to another,” he sighed, as he focused on his solar screens and tried to figure out how he’d escape.

Not just Tigercopters, dragons, or Firebirds, but now we’ve also got to face this metallic beast on Astro-Knights Island: Shark!! Does it look like its distant relative living in Shark Tooth Island, the shark of Booga Bay? Wonder how we’ll put this one to sleep…

By the way, it looks like we’ll be able to steer our own custom-designed rockets on Astro-Knights! See that blue symbol in the lower-right corner? 😛

Tigercopter’s Prey

🙂 Poptropica Help Blog has reached 850,000+ hits! Tiger-meat cookies to celebrate a new AK Island sneak peek… wait, do they even exist? 🙂

Continued from the story on Excalibur’s Fate:
A few hours later, Hazmat Hermit finally emerged from the sticky mud. “Yuck, my suit’s full of dirt!” he cried. Not knowing what else he should do, he started to wade through the mud, investigating, despite his vow not to do so a few hours earlier. It was several more days before he finally reached A Place With No Mud.

“Wow, it’s pretty! It’s beautiful!” gasped the hermit in awe. The muddy landscape was now gone, and in its place was one of the most wonderful sights he’d ever seen. The ice caps before him seemed to glow in the purple sunshine. Yet just at that moment, a little roundish fish jumped up from the water under the snow, formed its mouth together as if it were about to take a bite, and with a loud “CHOMP!”, splashed back into the water. “This is so wrong. A grouchy sea inhabitant in this mystical land? They don’t match, do they.” Little did he know about his next trouble that was already waiting for him…

The sound of a motor suddenly got the attention of Hazmat H., and he looked up. Above him, among the purple and blue rays of the sky, was a huge metallic beast! It was descending at an alarming rate of speed, and HH, to afraid to move, just stood there like a frozen statue. Unfortunately, the metal monster took advantage of this, and five seconds later, its menacing eyes were right in front of Mr. Hermit’s face! Oh no!, thought the hermit, that’s not just a metal monster; that’s a Tigercopter – one of the biggest beings of Poptropica, and it’s out to get me!

“Rrrraaah!” The Tigercopter roared fiercely, scratching its tail against Hazmat Hermit. “Ow!” screeched HH, as he began to run away from the half-helicopter, half-tiger. Unfortunately, the Tigercopter started clawing at Haz, who jumped away from it. The hermit was panicking so hard now, he wasn’t even sure where he was going. Somehow – and no one, not even the hermit himself, knew exactly how – he had managed to escape, but just barely. “I sure hope my adventures will be more pleasant in the future,” groaned Haz.

And there you have it – Hazmat Hermit’s opinion to Astro-Knights Island: “It’s pretty, it’s beautiful, it’s wrong.” But what do you think? :mrgreen:

Blog Post Title: Eye of the Tigercopter
Description: After a long search for a cleaner, more sterile environment, I stumbled upon a whole world of snow and ice. It was the perfect place to live – not a speck of dirt or grime for miles. Unfortunately, the native robot-life wasn’t very friendly. I barely managed to escape with my suit intact and free of claw marks.

Interestingly, the title “Eye of the Tigercopter” is a reference to a song called Eye of the Tiger. The name “Tigercopter” suggests that the thing shown in the sneak peek is half-tiger (the shape of the head, mouth, eyes, claws, and tail) and half-helicopter (the shape of the body, the rotor blades, and the metallic look).

Please note that the above speech was made up, but I do hope you enjoyed it. :mrgreen:

Thank you, GoldenStar, for the advertisement alert. According to GoldenStar, there is a “[Disney’s] Hatching Pete” advertisement on the sides of the screen (as in side bars). Thank you Cheerful Claw for suggesting (in an earlier post) that Astro-Knights may be related with the King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table legends, and to GoldenStar again for pointing out that the royal couple shown above may be King Arthur and Queen Guinevere, the names of the king and queen in the Knights of the Round Table legends. And of course, it’s Earth Day soon [thanks, Graham]!
