Fanon:The Saga of Monthdale

"The Saga of Monthdale" is a story about small group of Islands to the south of SimNation, it is inspired by Pinstar1161's Sim of the Month Challenge (Okay, so it IS his Sim of the Month Challenge with modifications for story purposes.)

Prologue: A Brief History of the Island (Dates: ???-1/1/1)
Back in the days when SimCity used coal to fuel the power plants the Islands of what is now known as Monthdale was a thriving city, mostly due to it's main export, the coal that was below it. For years sims mined the coal until one day, nobody knows how it started, one of the smaller seams ignited starting a massive fire, by this time though SimCity was on the brink of changing it's plant to a natural gas plant and so the island was abanonded. All that remained in an unstable part of the island was the remains of a farm, everything else was abanonded and reclaimed by the island.

The fires were allowed to burn unchecked until, due to the damage caused by the fire, the islands sank a few inches allowing the olf mines to flood, putting the fires out. While not needing the coal anymore SimNation saw the islands as a great new place for citizens, the catch, with it's history no sim wanted to move there.

In a last ditch effort the SNFL (SimNation Football League) was pressured to authorize a team on Monthdale. The Monthdale Mongooses were formed.

And so our story begins.

Chapter 1: Acing a Sport (Dates: 1/1/1-1/15/1 (Present Day) )
MAIN SIM: Ace Sportington

Ace Sportington would be the sim to answer the call of the Mongooses. After moving in and getting his house in order he headed to the stadium and became a rabid fan of the Monthdale Mongooses. Only a few days later, the Mongooses gave him a full job at the Stadium as a Snack Hawker. Ace continued to yell and scream as he served snacks to the masses and for some reason the owners of the staduim thought he would make a good coach, so they made him a Toddler Sports Coach and put him in charge of the Monthdale Magnets. While he would have rather played on the field, Ace had a blast coaching the Magnets, until one day he got called in to the boss' office. His eyes lit up as he saw the contract and signed it instantly, it was a contract to play for the Minutemen, the Mongooses' minor League Team. Ace decided with all his time on the field that he would hire a maid, which paid off dividends immediatly as one day while he was making the bed and saw Ace come in...

"Hey Ace," Justin Cupps, the Maid, said.

"Hey Justin," Ace replied.

"I saw you playing today, you did good," Justin stated.

"Thanks," Ace said.

"I noticed towards the end though you were out of breath, I could help with that,"

"How?"

"I know a guy, Xi Xu, he's in Shang Simla China, he could teach you some breathing techniques that would over inflate your lungs to keep air flowing to the blood,"

"Thanks,"

"No problem, that will be simoleons for the house cleaning,"

Ace paid him and packed his bags for China, one there he sought out Xi Xu.

"Can I help you young man?" Xi Xu asked.

"A mutual aquitence told me about you, he said you have knowledge of a special breathing technique,"

"Ah, Justin Cupps sent you," Xi said, "Very well, I will teach you the breathing style of the Sleeping Dragon," he continued, a few hours later, Ace had so much oxygen in his blood he felt like he was floating. He thanked Xi and returned to base camp where he saw a message on a board.

Ace decided to put his new breathing abilities to take on the adventure. He headed over to the Sima residence.

"Finally," Sima said "A brave soul to go in the the tomb. I would go myself, but it far to scary," she added.

"No problem," Ace said. "Just show me where the tomb is,"

"The tob entrance is here," she said pointing to it on a map, she then handed him a key shaped rock. "You will need this stone to enter the tomb itself," she added.

Ace made his way to the tomb, but too tired to brave it tonight, he headed to bed back at base camp. The next day after breakfast Ace headed out, he braved the tomb's many dangers and retrived the relic.
