Fanfic: The Story of Silent Goose 🥶 Chapter 1: Crash Landing

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Lucky Fish. Enjoy!

Hey Poptropicans! Lucky Fish here. Today I am going to be showcasing my new written version of Survival Island, featuring the story of Silent Goose as he is stranded in the northern mountains. But enough of my rambling, I now present:

The Story of Silent Goose: A Poptropica Tale
Chapter 1: Crash Landing

It was early. Around three-thirty in the morning. The Poptropica sky above Home Island was still dark, though the faintest hint of morning rested low on the horizon. Most of the few residents were still asleep in their houses, their windows dark and the walkways empty. The island, which was normally full of chatter and excitement during the day, was completely quiet.

Out of a small apartment above the New You store, stepped Silent Goose, a young Poptropican ready for an adventure.

He gently closed the door behind him, careful not to make a sound. Tonight, or rather, this very early morning, was important. Silent Goose was heading to Counterfeit Island to meet some friends, and he didn’t want to wake anyone before he left.

He wore a green shirt with a bright lightning bolt across the front and a pair of blue pants. A pair of round flying goggles were on his forehead, ready for the journey ahead. The cool morning air brushed across his face as he stepped into his large yellow blimp. The blimp drifted as he fell into it. Goose picked himself up, and headed west towards Counterfeit Island.

After about an hour, Silent Goose still saw no trace of the surrounding islands near Counterfeit Island. No Reality TV Island, Astro Knights Island, nothing. Maybe he went the wrong way. Then Goose looked up — the stars were gone. It couldn’t be morning just yet.

Suddenly, it began to rain. First lightly, then harder, and harder. The night was so dark, Goose hadn’t realized he had gone under a raincloud.

SILENT GOOSE: “Ugh. It’s too dark to see anything!”

Then it happened. A big light, and loud BOOM.

SILENT GOOSE: “Well… that can’t be good…”

Silent Goose had sailed straight into a thunderstorm by accident. The wind began to pick up, swinging his blimp from side to side. Suddenly, a huge crash of thunder struck near him. Goose was in danger. He had to get off of this blimp! He was too high up, and the rain was too thick to see anything below.

Then Goose remembered, there was a compartment below his blimp that would allow him to access an emergency parachute. The issue? It’s below the blimp.

Silent Goose thought for a minute if it was worth it to attempt to grab the parachute. But the thunder was getting worse. So he decided it was worth a shot.

Goose climbed over the side of the blimp, and climbed down the wooden ridges towards the base. There, a compartment sat. Goose tried to open it, but it was locked tight. Goose didn’t have the key.

Just then, a blast of thunder struck just next to the blimp, sending some wood-chips straight for Goose. Some landed in his shirt. Goose had an idea. He took a wood-chip, and used it to pick the lock. The door swung open, and the parachute fell out, getting caught by Silent Goose’s feet.

He lifted the parachute with his legs, and held onto it for dear life. Goose looked at his blimp one last time, and jumped. He quickly tugged the string and deployed the parachute. Above, a bolt of lightning struck the blimp directly, and it exploded into flames.

The parachute began to glide very far, and through the smoky clouds. Silent Goose could see the land below. A cold forest. Trees and trees for miles.

The parachute crashed hard into two trees, sending Silent Goose flying, landing on a hill. He tried to get up, but the snow was too slippery, and he began to slide down the small cliff, landing on a solid frozen pond. Everything went dark.

And that was part one of my story! If you are interested, the full version will (eventually) be posted on my blog here. I hope to split it into parts releasing whenever I see fit, with two versions for each part: one in novel form, and one in blog form. So far, I don’t know if I’m ever going to finish this project, but let’s hope I do… one day.

Thanks for reading! Have a great rest of your day!

“The Villain Saga” – Season 2, Episode 1, Part 1

Agent Bubbles

(See previous)

EXT. CAPTAIN CRAWFISH’S SHIP “H.M.S. SEA CHICKEN” – MORNING

It’s the next day since the villain’s escape from Erewhon prison. While there’s no storms currently overhead, the sky is patched with clouds. BLACK WIDOW is on deck, wrapping her wrists and hands with bandages and tape.

She turns to one of the masts, where an area has been marked with old paint splatters. WIDOW starts punching, rapidly striking at the pole with no apparent injury or pain to her knuckles.

CUT TO the interior of CAPTAIN CRAWFISH’S cabin, which is placed near the stern. The windows are decorated with red stained glass, and crimson-hued lanterns add light to the room. It’s covered in treasure and nice furniture from his previous expeditions, including luxurious rugs, antique globes that map different “dimensions” of Poptropica, and a daybed in a nook. CRAWFISH is sitting at his main desk near the windows, with some extra chairs placed out. DIRECTOR D., MOREAU, and his assistant EDWARD are all in the room.

CRAWFISH motions to the chairs.

CRAWFISH

Sit, sit all of you.

“The Villain Saga” – Episode 9, Part 2

(Table of contents) (See previous)

CUT TO inside the interview room. DR. HARE is alone at his side of the table, with DIRECTOR D and MOREAU facing him. They are talking about anything but therapy.

HARE

Ok, the plan was Crawfish would go down where the other prisoners are and make a huge ruckus.

Yes, I know it’s super simple and…bad, but it was really the best idea we could come up with. We’re short on time—I think Jupiter’s already taking him to wherever he put the others.

Announcing “The Villain Saga,” a Poptropica fan series (with prologue)

Agent Bubbles

Long, long ago, there were rumors of a Poptropica movie or TV series. Fans speculated on what it could be about, from a whole new story to a Mystery of the Map spinoff. Flash forward to today, and that dream never became a reality.

So in my traditional fashion, I decided to do it myself!

As much as I would like to see an epic, shiny, animated finished product, there’s no way I (and my carpal tunnel) could do all that, so I’ve decided to just release the script in episodic form! Stay tuned for a sneak peek of the first episode!

I’m going to try to update this fairly frequently (perhaps every week), but I won’t make any promises currently. I do have the plot all figured out from beginning to end, and plenty more script to release!

But enough with my rambling! Let’s get to the story!

FADE IN:

EXT. EREWHON PRISON — EVENING

We see the tall prison from a worms-eye view, near the ocean. Even though it is still evening, dark storm clouds surround the sky, shrouding the prison in night. A few windows glow as lights from inside the building are turned on.

A HELICOPTER lands, hovering a bit and billowing clouds of dust on the small landing pad next to the prison. It finally finishes its descent as we get a closer look at the area. Several prison guards are standing nearby, and a bearded man, DR. JUPITER, is waiting to greet whoever is inside the HELICOPTER.

A MAN jumps out from the side door. The darkness hides most of his face from view, along with a WOMAN who jumps out behind him.

MAN

Well, this isn’t quite what I expected!

DR. JUPITER

(chuckles)

Did you expect a luxury hotel?

MAN

No, I just didn’t think the weather would be so…

He looks down at the stormy waves, crashing against jagged rocks.

MAN (CONT’D)

…cliché.

DR. JUPITER

It helps protect us from onlookers, at least!

(He looks at the WOMAN)

And hello, Miss…

The WOMAN extends her gloved hand. DR. JUPITER takes the cue and kisses it.

WOMAN

Lesser. Camille Lesser. I’m his assistant.

DR. JUPITER

You seem awfully dainty for this line of work.

WOMAN

Trust me.

(She grins. There’s something a little suspicious about it.)

I have experience with these sort of people.

DR. JUPITER steps back. His friendly smile leaves his face.

DR. JUPITER

I should hope so. We’ve had many psychologists analyze our prisoners…few were able to help much.

MAN

They should be willing to work with me, if we give them time.

The smile returns to DR. JUPITER’S face. He steps aside, motioning for the newcomers to enter the building.

DR. JUPITER

Well then, let’s get started.

The two enter as the HELICOPTER ascends. DR. JUPITER remains behind with the GUARDS, discussing something with them.

As they cross through the doorway, framed with lightning-bolt decorated pillars, the WOMAN turns to the psychologist.

WOMAN

Well, that was certainly easier than I expected, Mr. D.

They enter a lit area, revealing the faces of notorious criminals DIRECTOR D. and MADEMOISELLE MOREAU. DIRECTOR D. smiles.

DIRECTOR D.

Trust me, miss Moreau, my plans are all very simple.

We look from the outside, as they head deeper into the prison.

FADE OUT.

“Erewhon contains some of the most notorious criminals in all of the world of Poptropica…but could their abilities be used for someone’s advantage?

Director D., a cunning and charismatic spy, and Madimoiselle Moreau, a sweet yet spiteful Frenchwoman, are both villains who have managed to avoid the long arm of the law. They have teamed up to start their grandest plan yet, but they will need a little help.

Will justice and peace prevail above these many conflicting schemes, or will these villains be consumed by their own ambition and follow a murky path as the world collapses due to a plan they may not even be aware of?”
