As one first steps foot on this beautiful floating island, with a quick glance and the soft sand between your toes, you would think and assume that it was too good to be true to have paradise in the ruins of an apocalyptic setting, but it wasn't all pretty and prestigious.
Though the island floated high above the dangers of the planet Li, it still had its own very real dangers. Hungry and starving creatures in a land of very little food and survivability; a different kind of torture than Li's unforgiving climate and rocky regions.
There was only so much fruit and vegetation that was edible to get you by. Maybe some flying fish here and there if you're lucky enough to catch them whizzing by, but definitely a challenge to scrounge and fight hunger.
Amidst the trickery of this island there was however, no doubt that on the land lied a large influx of the Cucco species. No real answer as to why, other than when the Cuccos that survived the explosion after the planet Li formed, they all likely decided to convene in the same place with a decent rate of survival, somewhere that wasn't a barren and desolate wasteland.
So they looked to the skies passed the toxic layer of air and found the floating islands in a distant sky paradise. Or so it seemed. With their wings they flapped and flapped, some didn't make it and fell to their doom below the island, but those that did, flew and flapped all the way to the top of this island found what food and fluids they could, spread their loins, and bred more kin in some kind of safety.
Low and behold, Tingle the short aging man who wishes he had a fairy friend, or perhaps, to be a fairy himself, stumbled upon this land by a verbal connection from a free fairy flying by and found a rather large sized den of Cuccoo's taking refuge in a large and vast meadow of gorgeous tropical flowers and brush laid out along the coastline of this floating island.
Needless to say the fairy didn't need or want a master, but it was still a nice tip nonetheless for a chance to see a Giant Cucco giving birth to a giant egg which is said to bring good luck.
And luck attracts faeries! Using his infamous red ballooning techniques, Tingle tingled his way up to the island to see what the fuss was about! And now appears to be in a rut after finding the Cucco population on the island and also finding the Giant Cucco to his surprise!
But noticing it was unprotected, and all the Cuccos around the Giant Mother were running rampant in a fit of tantrums and anger. None of them were protecting the mother from potential danger as she lay on her egg!
Tingle wasn't alone in his journey either! He brought a friend of his he met at the Life Sphere, a man named Ken with amazing martial arts prowess! Letting him borrow one of his big balloons, Ken floated with Tingle to the island. But unfortunately for Tingle, Ken wasn't exactly the smartest fighter.
Though he possessed great combat ability as was proven many times in his career, he wasn't the smartest dude there was.
Ken put on a chicken suit before leaving with Tingle thinking he can get close and observe the Cucco nesting incognito to ensure the egg is not in danger at a close proximity without the Cuccos going nuts. But he was super wrong! Ken bought the suit at the Black Market and without thinking about the consequences of a black market item purchase, he didn't realize it was cursed!
Ken began to exhibit strange behavior and act...EXACTLY LIKE A CUCCO! And like the other Cuccos, he began to run around rampant flapping his arms and cooing uncontrollably around the nest as if he was completely not himself. Now Tingle was alone as the sole protector of the nest while the Mother gives birth with no form of defense from its kind. Or Ken, for that matter.
"Oh dear oh my oh me! Ken why are you doing this sir! You were supposed to read the label before buying that suit! I knew it was a bad idea!!! EEK!" Ken was not listening to Tingle at all and even began chasing Tingle around the nest and screaming in Cucco.
"CUCCOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! CLUCKITY CLUCK CLUCK!" Tingle was now being chased by his so called friend all around the island and running for his life not knowing what Ken might do if he got close enough! "HELP ME! HEEELLPP MEEEEEEE!!!!!!" And if that was not bad enough, there was another threat emerging!
The skies were getting dark....an overcast had appeared along with bolts of lightning and strong winds. Something was coming and sensed the giant egg's energy. Tingle is running in fear from Cucco Ken and looking higher into the skies adding to his terrified state. "THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING TO JUST OVER 35 YEAR OLD ME! ANYONE HELP!" He would desperately need some assistance with Ken first, before even thinking about the strange and sudden darkness above and the giant Cucco birth about to come!
