Story[]

Zane’s Hideout[]

Zane first appears at his hideout where you must do a maze and battle his goons to reach him. Upon interacting with him he is shown to hate both DoodleCo and Oasis Energy alongside being shown to have a rivalry with the CEO of Oasis Energy, Victor Solis. After this cutscene you must battle him. After defeat, Suzie and The Player try to get the 4th key from him, but Zane reveals that he doesn't have it and that you fell for Victor Solis's lies. Here you get the truth and that Victor Solis stole the key from Zane's father. Victor Solis then proceeds to break into the hideout and threatens Zane that he will demolish it. All of this is due to jealousy over the fact that Victor grew up poor while Zane's father grew up rich in royalty due to his descendants being nobles that owned The Ruined Castle. Zane tells the story about how the castle used to be full of life due to the Legendary Doodle Zerzura. Back when Solis stole the key he also imprisoned Zerzura, destroying Zane’s family’s castle. Using Zerzura's power, The Oasis became a metropolis full of energy and life. Without Zerzura, the city would crumble.

Oasis Underground & Oasis Energy[]

After the player meets up with Zane outside of the entrance to the Oasis Underground, Zane asks where Suzie is at. Then, Suzie makes her appearance telling them that the reason that she was so late was because she was out shopping for all the essentials they need. One of them being explosives. Zane is shocked to hear that Suzie bought explosives, but she claims it is mandatory for their mission and that she won’t probably get a chance to use them ever again. Once entering the Oasis Underground, Ellen discusses business with TJ, Portia, and Quincy. After the cutscene ends, the player must traverse through the underground to find a captive Zerzura. A code is needed to free Zerzura so Suzie uses all of her explosives to explode a nearby vent, taking them to the inside of the Oasis Energy Laboratory. The player must find four computers to find all the pieces of the code.

Once the player finds the code, TJ and Quincy approach Zane, Suzie, and the player. The two have been hired by DoodleCo to obtain the Miracle Key, now armed with the artificial runestones of Owol and Hypnotl. TJ, having won a battle against Quincy, challenges the player. If TJ wins, he gets to free Zerzura and obtain the Miracle Key. After TJ is defeated, he and Quincy leave the laboratory. Suzie claims that they wasted precious time battling TJ. After Zane, the player, and Suzie enter the Oasis Underground again and inputing the code, Victor Solis appears to tell the group that the code was to trick the player into initiating Project Zeta, forcing Zerzura to be subservient to all of his wishes and commands. Solis and the player battle. Once Victor Solis is defeated, he promises to make a deal with the player. If the player lets Solis go, he will give both the Miracle Key and a Tsunami Scroll as a reward for letting him escape. Suzie tells the player that they should accept it as Victor’s life is forever ruined, being forced to be on the run for the rest of his life. The player accepts and obtains the Miracle Key. After all of the chaos finally ends, Suzie tells the player that they should meet up with the others at the nearby DoodleCo Office J to discuss a meeting.

Oasis Wrapup Meeting[]

After the events at the Oasis Underground end, the player and their group meet with Zane, Portia, and Ellenat DoodleCo Office J. Ellen talks about how that she is annoyed that Quincy and TJ weren’t able to retrieve the Miracle Key for her and she is now going to be demoted to the fifth ranked DoodleCo Executive since a member of the ShadowClan retrieved a key for “Yami”. Portia, who also isn’t in a good mood, also demands for TJ and Quincy to give her the artificial runestones back. She then decides to let Quincy battle with his Hypnotl Antigen against the player. Once the player defeats Quincy, Portia decides to give the antigen to the player since she decides that they are more capable of wielding it. She still has to work on some technical issues with the Owol Artificial Runestone however.

Suzie explains that the player made a deal with Victor Solis in order to get the Miracle Key as it would be a much safer bet. Zane then chimes in as he asks if Solis was caught, but Suzie tells him that the authorities hasn’t found him yet. Ellen decides to make Zane the interim CEO of Oasis Energy since he knows the area very and that he deeply cared for it for a long time. Suzie asks if the Oasis wouldn’t run out of power since Zerzura has been freed, but Ellen replies swifly to her, telling Suzie that Zerzura simply gave even more energy and power to the Oasis than needed. She says that the next time she comes across with the player, she would have permission to use her team which also includes her powerful Prismare. After Ellen and Portia teleport to DoodleCo City, Quincy explains to TJ about why Portia lost her team for a few months. The reason why she is using a weaker team than her normal team was because she got in trouble with Teneson for creating the Quincy Fan Club. Soon enough, a mailman arrives to hand a letter to the player and their group.

TJ reads the letter which is from a resident of Icyridge called Anna who is the key guardian of the Frigid Keyand is currently being threatened by rogue ShadowClan members. Quincy exclaims that he dislikes Icyridge while TJ continues on. She promises to give the key to the player and their group if they help her. Once TJfinishes reading the letter, Zane tells the group that they need to take a short hike from his hideout to Route 8 which would eventually lead to Icyridge. Quincy replies to Zane that Icyridge is full of backward savages who hate change and tells the group that his father would always be enraged whenever he would visit Icyridge, due to their residents not accepting his deal to turn it into a DoodleCo town.

Suzie questions about why the ShadowClan is acting strange, but TJ exclaims that it doesn’t matter to him as since he is a “Universal Anomaly” , the situation won’t bother him. This annoys Suzie as she tells TJ that she is starting to get sick of him acting like that as it is getting old for her. TJ tells the group that it is now time for him to leave as he believes he can get the Frigid Key all on his own. He leaves the building afterwards. Suzie then tells the group that she has heard of a Legendary Doodle with the power to change the climate of Icyridge. She and Quincy then head out to Zane’s hideout while Zane tells the player to come visit him at Oasis Energy once they obtain the Frigid Key.
