The Chronicles of Cavitopolis: The Brushers, Pasters and the Witch

A long time ago in a classroom far far away...There were four great nations, all a part of the dental world known as Cavitopolis. The largest and most powerful nation was the ToothBrushers, who consisted of five powerful brushers, the President Tyler Robinson, the Vice President Rodney Gilley, the Ambassador Chris Mcbride, and Senators Bradley Flinchum and Aaron McGuire. The ToothBrushers were the most organized and had the most powerful dental plan at an affordable cost. On the other hand, the ToothPasters who were led by the cynical mastermind Hazelwood were all to evil. They believed in a dental plan that did not cover cavities. The ToothPasters were the sworn enemy of the Flossers who had a peaceful nation, but was under the influence of the evil witch Farley. They designed and manufactured Floss bombs, which were extremely dangerous and lethal. There was one last nation that dwelled in the shadows of the mountains, the MouthWashers who were a small but powerful rebellious tribe of Cavitopolis.

The time of war had been decided. The four great nations prepared for the inevitable battle that was to come. The ToothBrushers had just held their Presidential Election, which Robinson had won and came to power. His first act of power as the leader of the ToothBrushers was to act first in the Great Dental War by declaring war against the ToothPasters who were led by an evil sage who once taught Robinson of the ways of the brush many years ago. He has since been the leader of the ToothPasters and fancied himself a new name, Hazelwood. The young and brash Robinson is inexperienced in the rules of war and relies on the assistance of his Vice-President Gilley. Gilley has realized this flaw and urges the president to stike now.

In the Land of Floss, the small nation of the Flossers was growing and becoming more and more of a threat to the dental world. Perhaps too strong with the help of the convulted witch Farley. Their Floss bomb production has doubled, and Farley is aware of the war between the Brushers and Pasters. She asks herself how she can use this to her advantage. The war casualties should be sufficient enough she thought. She made an alliance with the small tribe of MouthWashers, that way she will have an almost gauranteed victory just by sheer numbers. She would send the Washers into the middle of the fight, and when the dust clears she would have victory. She could become the one and only monarch of Cavitopolis.

Day breaks, as the tormented screams of the witches army make their march towards Hazelwoods realm, where the Great Dental War would take place. The MouthWashers climb the stifling mountain near the battle site and wait. The army of Brushers make their way into the realm of the Pasters and above all Hazelwood. Hazelwood has prepared diligently this battle, and is fully prepared for all possible outcomes of this war. He now waits for the approach of of the Brushers. Robinson and Hazelwood stand a hundred yards apart staring each other down, savoring the victory to come. Robinson decides to act first and sends in his Senators, as well as his Ambassodor McBride. Ciara and Greg of the Pasters decide to start as well. Ciara immediatley tackels Aaron to the ground. Aaron screams for the help of McBride, but McBride seems to have been frozen. He stands motionless staring at the mountain top. Just as he turns around to inform his President of the current situation an arrow falls from the sky straight into the skull of the brusher. Aaron helplessley tries to stay alive and alert, but begins to grow weak. Ciara who seems to be one of the strongest of the Pasters has Aaron firmly planted to the ground. She begins to lift her Paste Dispenser and strikes. Profuse amounts of paste trickle to the ground, and the brush of Senator Bradley has eliminated the paster. Bradley helps his squad mate to his feet, only to find a very angry and very muscular Greg looking down upon them.

  The legs of Aaron begin to tremble, and the petrified brusher turn away from Greg and sprints towards the mountain. Bradley is now alone to face Greg. Bradley knows he cannot not fight Greg head on, so he waits for Greg to make the first move. Greg stares Bradley down for a few minutes, and then charges. Greg lifts his dispenser and swings. Bradley uses his brush to block the blow, shards of brush litter the ground. He swings his dispenser at Bradley once again, but at the last moment Bradley leaps forward in between Greg's legs and stabs Greg in his calf. He quickly gets to his feet and lunges his body at Greg. They both fall to the ground and begin to brawl. Greg assumes control and begins to strangle Bradley. Bradley begins to fade when he sees a peice of shard from his brush. He picks up the shard and stabs Greg in his wind pipe. Profuse amounts of bloods drips on the ground and the Paster known as Greg is no more.

  Aaron reaches the mountain and begins to climb. It takes him nearly an hour to make it to the top. He reaches his hand to the top ledge of the mountain and begins to pull himself up. A large mouthwash bottle is thrown directly at Aaron and he loses his balence and falls. Robinson sees the body of Aaron lying on the ground, and he decides to send in his Vice-President Gilley to aid Bradley. Gilley rushes to the side of Bradley and awaits the approach of the MouthWashers and ToothPasters. By his count he sees four Washers and two Pasters. He knows they will have to seperate and fight different enemies. He cannot leave the burden to Bradley of facing four warriors. He places his hand on Bradley's shoulder and says "I'll see you later" and then charges towards the Washers. Bradley stunned and also amazed of his comrades bravery picks up his brush and looks upon the to warriors in front of him.

  Gilley leaps into the air and strikes at Miranda, the leader of the MouthWashers. He hits his target, but not efficiently enough. They grab him and plant him to the ground. They prepare to pour their most poisonous mouthwash into his motuh. They pry his jaws open and Miranda whose head is badly wounded begins to tilt  her hand. The brush of Robinson sticks out her chest cavity. He strikes in all directions to get the remaining Washers away from his squadmate. He lifts Gilley to his feet and they both begin an epic duel with their opponents. Robinson had taken the responsabilty of fighting both Cody and Jamie, while Gilley had begun to fight Josh. Gilley and Josh exchange blows again again, each waiting for the other to make a mistake. Gilley steps back and then jumps as high as he possibly can and strikes. As Josh falls to his knees and begins to bleed to death he sees Gilley rushing over and killing Jamie from behind. Josh's eyes then close. Gilley and Robinson then surround the Washer and inch closer until they are both in striking range. The Washer panics and drops to the groung and swipes Gilley's legs out from under him. Robinson delivers the final strike. Gilley loses too much blood and has no hope of survival. Robinson and Gilley look into each others eyes as the final breath leaves his chest.

  Bradley without hesitation charges towards Hazelwood, without fear of Hazelwoods body gaurd Beckner. Bradley holding his shard tightly, with his legs sweating and legs beginning to become numb lunges his hand into Hazelwoods mid-section as hard as he possibly can. Beckner the strikes Bradley with his dispenser. Bradley lyes on the ground twitching, looking upon the body of Hazelwood, he had done it, he had defeated the leader of the Pasters. The light fades.

  Robinson looks over and sees the death of his last sqaud mate. This enrages him, and he charges towards Beckner. Beckner swings his dispenser at Robinson, but Robinson ducks and grabs the shard out of Hazelwoods side and places it in beckners timple. Robinson then stands and sees the lifeless bodies of his countrymen. He spends the night burying his comrades.

  The sun rises and Robinson packs the neccessary tools for his journey to the Land of Floss. It is a three day walk to the witches land and he must hurry before sh learns that there is an unaccounted survivor. Robinson is on the second day of his journey when he runs into a lone cavity. A lone cavitie known as Dakota. He pleads with him, begging him to aid him in his upcoming Battle. Dakota is hesitant but in the end agrees. They both now make their way to The Land Of Floss.
The witch Farley sends her army toward the battlefield to see the outcome of her mischievious plan. Robinson hears the noise of foot steps approaching them. He and Dakota hide in the tree line. Robinson awaits for her arrival, gripping his brush so tight that his fingers are of a grape nature. He looks to his new comrade, who is sweating profusely. He smiles and then charges straight toward the witch. Dakota is soon to follow. They both work together decimating Powell. Brandon B. and Brandon H. then corner Robinson and prepare to strike. Dakota jumps on the back of Brandon B. and chokes him until he falls to his knees. Robinson and Dakota then make short work of the Flosser.

  They both make their slow approach toward the witch. She waist no time and throws one of her Floss bombs rights under Dakota. Dakota is incinerated. Robinson then uses all of his weight, all of his strength, he throws his brush at the witch. She nearly escapes it, but it snags her shoulder and rips off her arm. She then grabs Robinson by the throat and strangles him, and as he fades he smile at the witch. She drops him right at the moment he was about to die, she lets him grab his brush. He stands up and regains his breath. Bristles fill the air.

Saints Row 3 Spoiler

Saints Row 3 takes place about a year after SR2. Dex has taken control of Ultor, moving Eric Gryphon down a peg. Dex has made Ultor even more powerful. They have begun remodeling Shivington like they planned in SR2, despite the Saints attempts to stop them. Troy is still the chief of police, "Boss" is still the leader of the Saints, and he's even more of a power-hungry sociopath than before. Stilwater is in chaos with Ultor and the Saints at war.

Meanwhile, in a different city, just across the ocean that surrounds Stilwater, a new corporation has formed. This one has become pretty powerful itself, but Ultor is still well-beyond it. This new corporation is run by Benjamin King. He started it while Boss was in his coma, but it wasn't poweful enough back then to be noticed. Now, it is more powerful than any company in the world, except of course, for Ultor. YOU, are an employee for this corporation. You are Ben King's right-hand man. So you aren't the Boss anymore. You still create your character, of course, and maybe you create Boss as well.

Your best friend works for King's corporation as well. Later in the game you'll find out that this friend is Carlos's brother, who moved to this city and joined King's corporation after the Boss went into the coma and the Saints fell apart after SR1. Donnie also moved to this city, right after the events of SR2, hoping to escape "Boss's" influence. Donnie runs a mechanic business, this new city's version of Rim Jobs. There will be a bunch of Billboards for this mechanic shop around the city with Donnie's face on them.

The first few missions are like any game's beginning, pretty much about getting used to the game and whatnot. They are small missions that Ben King sends you on, nothing serious. But after the first few missions, King calls you into his office, telling you he has a very important task for you...
---

King tells you there is someone in Stilwater who is very dangerous, and needs to be stopped. This person has killed tons of people, and King says you are the person most fit to stop him, saying you're the only person he's seen who can match this guy's skill. He tells you who the guy is, and as you may have guessed, it's Boss. You hesitantly agree to do this mission. You take a plane, and you and some of Ben King's other men who were sent to help you, fly across the sea to Stilwater, and from now on in the game, you can fly, or boat, to and from Stilwater as you please. This way there are multiple cities.

When you arrive in Stilwater you and the other soldiers move on the Saints hideout, where Boss is rumored to be at the moment. You barge in. Boss isn't expecting you, but he always has some guns handy. He shoots at your group, and the other Saints come in, and there's a huge battle. You and King's men have elite training, but you are hopelessly outnumbered. Your friend's are killed, and Boss points a gun to your head, telling you to drop your weapons. Knowing you have no other choice, you obey. He takes you and ties you up in another room, where He, Johnny, Pierce, and Shaundi are waiting. Pierce is whining, saying he could've captured you. After Boss tells him to shut up, he begins to question you. He asks who you work for, but you don't give him anything. You are beaten, but you won't talk. Boss decides to wait and think of other ways to get you to talk. He and Johnny leave, while Pierce and Shaundi stand guard. You and them talk a while, but then Pierce pulls out a silenced pistol. Shaundi asks what he's doing, and Pierce shoots her multiple times. Shaundi is dead, and Pierce comes over and unties you. He tells you to follow him. You and him escape the hideout, and go to Ultor Tower. Pierce says you are going to steal a fighter jet from Ultor, because he knows the Saints are following you. You fight Ultor until you find a fighter jet. Taking it, you fly across the sea towards your city, the Saints flying their own planes for you to fight. Eventually you make it back to your base. King's men mop up any Saints that were still tailing you, and you go into King's office.

You introduce him to Pierce, telling him how Pierce saved your life. You ask why Pierce would risk himself to do that. He tells you that he didn't like the Boss because of the way he treated Pierce in SR2, and now, and that he wants to help destroy Boss and the Saints. Then King's phone rings. He answers. It's Dex. Dex says he's upset, that King's man stole one of his jets and killed some of his men. King defends you, which just makes Dex angrier. Dex says King needs to get better control of you, and that he'll let this slide. He warns King that if something like this happens again, there will be consequences for King and his corporation.

A few days later, the Saints attack your corporation. Boss being the psycho that he is, is on another revenge kick since you tried to kill him, and killed Shaundi. You, Pierce, Carlos's brother and King, defend yourselves the best you can, and eventually you succeed in driving the Saints away, but Pierce was killed in the process. Johnny had led the group of Saints into this battle, and had shot Pierce because Boss wanted Pierce dead the most. Johnny escaped, with two or three other Saints. And this wouldn't be the last time the Saints attacked...
---

After a second attack on your base, King decides it's time to return the favor. He sends you, Carlos's brother, and a much larger group of his men to Stilwater to kill Johnny and the Boss, and wipe out the Saints once and for all. There is an enormous battle when you arrive, but Boss isn't there, only Johnny. But you have no time to ponder that. You fight and then at the end of the mission, you have to fight Johnny himself. It's a challenge, but you succeed. Johnny is almost dead when you ask him where the Boss went. Johnny, as loyal as ever, won't talk. He dies without a word. You and Carlos's brother head back to your base, and the a cutscene rolls. It shows the Saints fighting Ultor at the Phillips building. Boss is there, which explains why he wasn't at the hideout. His phone rings, and he finds cover to answer it. It is one of the Saints, who tells him Johnny is dead, that you and Carlos's brother killed him. As you can imagine, Boss is pissed. He charges into Ultor tower alone, killing anyone in his way. When he reaches the top, he barges into Dex's office where Dex is sitting at his desk. Dex jumps out of his seat and pulls out a pistol. Boss says he just wants to talk. Dex agrees, but keeps the gun on the Boss, just in case he tries anything. Boss proposes a truce, because he wants you and Ben King dead more than anything. They talk for a few minutes, and then they reach an agreement: They will team up, but only until King's corporation is destroyed. Once it is, Boss and the Saints will leave Stilwater, and let Ultor do as they please.

So the rest of the game is about you and King struggling against Ultor and the Saints. Lots of battles and car chases and whatnot. A little closer to the end of the game, you and Ben King attack Ultor tower. You reach the top where Dex and a bunch of Masako soldiers are waiting. But you and Ben King have a lot of skill, as you know. You put up a good fight, but eventually, you run out of ammo, and you're forced to surrender, even though Dex was the only one left to oppose you. The three of you talk for a while, but then Dex decides to kill you. He says you are too dangerous to live. He puts the gone to your head. You know this is the end...
---

Suddenly Eric Gryphon comes into the room. Dex is startled. He lifts the gun, but before he can react, Gryphon pulls out his own pistol and shoots Dex multiple times. Dex falls, dead. He tells you he killed Dex because Dex was making a huge mistake, allying with Boss. Gryphon says you and Ben King could be powerful allies to Ultor.

With Dex dead, Gryphon takes control of Ultor, and makes sure Boss knows that Ultor is no longer on his side. With Ultor a friend of your corporation, you now have a good chance against Boss. There are a few more missions against the Saints, but then you discover Boss's location. He's in a skyscraper near the Phillips Building. You waste no time. You, King, and Carlos's brother attack immediatly leading some of Ultor's masako team that Gryphon sent to help you. Every single Saints is waiting with the Boss. While you and Carlos's brother fight the Saints, King goes after Boss. The two are fighting with their fists after disarming each other. It's an intense fight, neither Boss nor King ever seem to be winning. But then, Boss pulls out a knife. King doesn't see it, and he charges at the Boss. Boss stabs King. You are just able to see it. King falls dead while Boss picks up some weapons from some of the dead Saints or Masako soldiers. With Boss in the fight now, the Saints start to gain some ground. You tell Carlos's brother to lead the Masako team for a minute, while you fight the Boss. You are able to disarm Boss, and it turns into a fist fight. It's a challenge, and Boss seems to be too tough. He beats you down, the picks up a gun, aiming it at you.

Suddenly, Carlos's brother runs over tackles him, and they both crash through a window, falling from the top floor, and plummeting to their deaths. While you stand there dumbfounded, the Masako team finishes off the Saints.

After the battle Gryphon congratulates you, but says he is sorry about King and Carlos's brother. With those two dead, you take control of King's corporation. Your corporation controls the new city, while Gryphon and Ultor control Stilwater.
