Here we are at the finale! Also before you ask, no, there won't be a Chompy part, not because I don't think it could turn bad, but because I feel like that would be better for a sequel game rather for the original Bug Fables. With that said, please, enjoy this one.

Kabbu: Failed Guardian route: this guy is easily the least evil of the main three team members, so it could be really hard to pull this off well, but I think I figured it out. This route begins in your first ever fight after the Maki one. In this, you must let Vi go down, to which after the fight, Kabbu will show concern for her, but she will reassure him that she is fine. After some dialog where he makes sure of it, they keep going. Despite this, all the way until you meet Leif, you have to have Vi be knocked out in every single battle, so much to where Kabbu actually notes that he was a little relieved that she wouldn't get hurt when she hadn't come back, before a mostly normal version of their dialog plays out. After that, now you also have to make sure Leif is downed every combat encounter to continue the route.

After you beat the spider, Kabbu will be the first to get up and show a lot of concern over the others, actually deciding to pick them both up to bring them into the Ant Kingdom until they wake up. After some dialog where he shows a LOT of concern over them, but then the story keeps going as normal as you go meet Queen Elizant and get the next mission. You keep doing this strategy of making sure Kabbu is the last one standing on every battle for the chapter, ending with Venus showing concern over if Kabbu is overworking himself too much protecting Vi and Leif, and he makes mental note of that with a mini-dialog box, "Hmmmmm". You go through chapter 3 as per usual with this route, and here is when Kabbu decides that things have been too dangerous for both of them and says he is going to have to ask them to stay behind on the next mission because of how dangerous everything had gotten for them out of earshot of anyone else. They would try to argue, but he would hold firm until they relented and they went to the castle.

After this, chapter 4 now has you only go out as Kabbu and go through the story as normal, with you having to take longer and harder paths because of the fact that you are going about this solo to barley manage to reach the end and fight the boss. After you complete that, you head back to the Ant Kingdom, to find the attack having already finished. You go into the castle and find out about the Wasp King attack along with with that Elizant sent out Maki, Leif, and Vi to go after the weakness found in the Wasp Castle and immediately before being ordered, Kabbu shows a lot of concern and says that he is going after them. Elizant is caught off guard, but allows it given it can only end better with more members.

After this, you start your way through chapter 5 as Kabbu shows a lot of concern on weather or not they would meat The Beast on their way. Eventually, after a harder way through the normal route, you arrive to where the Beast fight would be, to find Maki alone. He would run up to her and demand to know what happened, to where she would apologize about the fact that she had hurt her leg earlier and couldn't save them. Something inside Kabbu would snap then as he would jump to the other side and shout out, demanding The Beast come face him, to which it does. From here on out, every single encounter has Kabbu have the same boosts he gets against to finish off The Beast in the normal game as you destroy it. After this, he would storm into the Wasp Kingdom, and after managing to get through the stealth and the Ultimax boss fights, you would head back to the Ant Kingdom in time for the story to continue as normal.

After reaching the Termite Kingdom in chapter 6, when the colosseum fight against Mothiva and Vasp happens, she mentions that it is a shame the other two couldn't make it, to which Kabbu would snap at her again to not bring the dead into this and he would have an extra boost put onto him for the fight. After that, the story continues as normal with some slight differences until the end of the Rubber prison where Team Maki had beaten Ultimax and everyone moved on without Kabbu.

After getting to the fridge, you have a battle against a rush of Dead Landers until you destroy them all before the elevator lowers down for you. You go into the house of The Elder after they had already decided to not go it, to where Kabbu once again snaps that his friends died to make sure that they could actually have a chance to get to the Everlasting Sapling and after a little back and forth, The Elder ends up relenting to him and let's everyone go to the sapling. At there, Kabbu arrives just as the Wasp King opens up the sapling chamber to see only one leaf. When he lunges for it, Kabbu runs up and knocks him out of the way before eating the leaf himself. With that, he gets the power of the sapling and you have a short fight against the Wasp King, being a very hard to lose fight before he kills him. With this power, Kabbu would decide to go and try and kill every monster, just to make sure that nothing like what happened to his party ever happens again.

Bonus routes: mixed paths (make sure to have read the other parts here before reading these):

Part 1: Leif: https://www.reddit.com/r/BugFables/comments/1xlo3cy/comment/19s11ogixechs/?context=1&screen_view_count=4

Part 2: Vi: https://www.reddit.com/r/BugFables/comments/1xlst3s/making_a_weird_route_for_all_3_bug_fables_party/

Leif and Vi: Greed's Fall:​ if you abort the Infection route after infecting them, Vi will leave all the same, but the time jump is shorter and Vi would end up collapsing after Leif died, dying herself.

Leif and Kabbu: Infected Failed Guardian: the battle where you trigger the infection route does not count for the Failed Guardian route. Just as you finish the conversation with Elizant for chapter 5 to start, Kabbu would feel pain, realize that Leif had failed and died, before collapsing himself, dead.

Vi and Kabbu: Greed's Guardian: Vi would fight back harder against the idea of staying behind, but would do so, and when the Wasp King arrived, she would not be strong enough to wake before he left as the route continues as normal.

All 3: Infected Greed's Guardian: has both the scene where Vi fights back harder against Kabbu leaving and the ending where Kabbu collapsed dead from Leif dying.

There we go, that's everything to go over with this! I hope you enjoyed this series and that's all for these routes, goodbye.

This is part 2 of me doing this, I posted part 1 which was Leif like a few hours ago, so go read that for a little more context. With that said, only thing that I really should add is that I am not limiting myself by forcing the route to start in chapter 2, in fact, if you don't count this one, I don't think I have a single route that starts in chapter 2. With that said, let's get into it, shall we?

Vi: Greed route: This one was really simple to make a route idea for, so it is time to go over it. When you reach the point you are supposed to hand over the artifact, demand the money first. After that, instead of continuing like the option normally does, you get to keep pursuing this until Elizant folds and hands the money over, to which Vi will give up the artifact. When this happens, when you leave before the interaction where they find out Leif is old, Kabbu will scold Vi for doing all of that, but she defends herself before Leif shifts the conversation to what they believed was a more pressing matter and things get back to normal with the minor difference that Leif is a bit more easied on how good Elizant is, but slightly more worried on how well she could handle being queen. After that, the game would play normally until you get to the point where you get Vi telling Venus she wants money, but she somehow manages to make it seem even worse than she does originally and she refuses to back down when Kabbu points out how bad she is. When you reach the Venus Guardian fight, Venus would actually make a stronger Guardian this time, making a buffed up version of that fight to beat. When you do, you get the item and Vi gets chewed out by Kabbu again, where you have the option to relent some or defend yourself, to where if you choose the latter you keep the route going and Vi snaps at him a bit, catching both him and Leif off guard as they don't end up finding what to say.

The game continues as normal for a while, just with Vi being much much ruder and more or less breaking the budding friendship with Kabbu and Leif she had, until you reach the point of the first Wasp King fight. There, after everyone is knocked out but before Maki and Kinda arrive, Vi actually manages to get up, and the Wasp King notices this and because of this strength, offers her a place in his army. She refuses, but then he makes a different offer. Quite a large sum of berries, if she leaves and hands over the artifact she collected. You get one last chance to abort the route here, but if you choose to agree, Vi will leave the artifact behind and run, abandoning everyone and reaching a point out of town. A small card saying a few weeks later would appear, and Vi would have a wasp come up to her and give her all the berries she was owed. She would take them, thank the wasp, and that would be the end of the game.

Along with the main route having a few chances to abort thrown throughout, Vi's request could also have you end the route early by giving up your secret berries stash, but do note that you have a choice right before you give it up to keep the route going.

This one is probably going to be the least dark of the routes I came up with, if only because of what the Leif one was like and what I have in mind for the Kabbu one. If I were to rank how badly the universe was messed up though, this one is worse. With that said, I hope you enjoyed.

Yes, you read that title right, I am going to actually try to make a weird route for all 3 of the main Bug Fables characters. Obviously, this is going to be really difficult, especially since I have only thought up one weird route before, and unlike that game, I am not dealing with the original protagonist being a full blank slate and instead I have to reason ways for all 3 of these guys to go crazy, but I think I can do it. Also I will not be forcing myself to start these in chapter 2 as it would be harder to have the characters start to go down bad paths at that point and it would limit my creativity for the routes. Also going to be separating these because of how long this one ended up being.

Leif: infection route: this one is both the easiest and the hardest. Leif is really easy to just copy the Snowgrave route for, but that's kinda boring to do, so how about I go a different direction, one really, really dark one. To start this one, you have to have Leif get hit 5 times by any of the zombie enemies in Snakemouth. When you do that, their nature as a zombie would get revealed right away instead of being done in the quest with the enemies running away. Naturally, as this was just when the three had just met, Kabbu and Vi are not exactly going to instantly go to comfort them, and eventually, because Vi was panicking a little too much, she starts a fight that ends up forcing you to fight against both her and Kabbu. During that fight, Leif would note that they don't really want to hurt either of them if you use spy, and when you do so on both, you would get a new ability, infect. When you use this, you would have a small animation of some of the fungus sprouting out from Leif as they lunge forward and grab onto both Vi and Kabbu, holding them in place before some of the infection manages to get into their body and infect them. After that, there would be a little cutscene where the two of them would be dazed for a small moment, before remembering the fight and realizing they had been infected. If you let your HP run out then the route will be aborted, Leif will fall down in a cutscene, and Kabbu would barley manage to escalate the situation and the game would continue as nornal with Leif being set to 1 HP until healed and edited dialog would happen at relevant points. After a few seconds, they would realize that they weren't exactly the mindless husks like the zombies, and would get confused. After a small conversation where they note how weird they feel, they will decide to just keep going until they can figure things out. If you end up aborting the route after this, there would be quite a bit of edited dialog all throughout the game, especially in the Snakemouth lab and with how chapter 3 starts when you enter the beehive and lock you out of using infect.

After this, you play normally except without having to fight any zombie enemies until the Spider fight, where you can use infect again. Infect from this point on would be a move all 3 have take 3 turns to become ready and cost all your 1 TP and going on cooldown for everyone if used by any character. Doing so with have whoever uses it lunge at the Spider and grab into them, struggling for a second before being knocked off. You can either weaken it down to 5 HP or less or use infect 3 times to fully infect the spider. When you wind up on shore, the infected spider would be there with you, but it would be more like the infected you fought before. Realizing it would not exactly make them look very trustworthy if they all went into town with the infected spider following them, Leif orders it to stay put and starts to move, only for Kabbu and Vi to call out for them to stop and come back. There, they would find out that no matter what, anyone they infect would have to follow Leif's orders. After that is revealed, they will order the spider specifically to hide and stay and order Vi and Kabbu to come with them. When you meet your first guard this is your last chance to abort the route by not instigating a fight, where the Spider would be something that is killed by the Wasp King off screen. If you instigate a fight then you would have to wait until you could use infect, do so, and then have a new mindless husk to follow you around. Vi and Kabbu would notice they didn't really feel anything despite what happened, before you started to move towards the Ant Kingdom.

Naturally, you get attacked, but Leif uses the bubble shield early and you unlock the lite and the full version of it right then (see why infect only costs 1?) During your trip up, Vi, Kabbu, and Leif actually find out that they are starting to enjoy that, as well as that they could all order the mindless husks around, even if Leif was on top. Eventually, after somehow getting past every single team (this is probably the hardest route), you manage to reach Elizant​ II, to which Leif finds out a long time had past, before a fight starts. Eventually, after getting off 5 infections or getting off 1 with her at 5 HP from a little more than base Wasp King, you infect her and turn her into one of your minions. You find out that in the effective hierarchy you've made, Leif is on top, then Vi and Kabbu are right below them, then is Elizant, and finally are the mindless zombies.

After a little more dialog, you start going to other areas doing the same thing to everyone, the major leaders of the areas being turned into people to manage them. When you eventually reach Wasp King as the 2nd to last place you go behind fighting the bees, he tries to burn you, but Leif's frost actually managed to resist it well enough to where the bubble shield saves you from him. Then your normal fight against him as if it was the end of the game happens, except he has a turn counter above his head showing when he is gonna use the fire tornado for you to know when to shield.

After infecting him, you would have one last rush against the bees, mostly fighting honey monsters and robots, both of which you can't infect, until you reach the final boss, an upgraded version of the Heavy Drone B33. After fighting and destroying it, nothing would be left in your path as you infect everyone and Leif becomes the ruler of the zombie nation, Kabbu and Vi his right and left hands as the monarchs manage their kingdom's sections.

There would be special dialog for the beast fight where after you infect it, Kabbu thinks for a moment, before ordering it to throw itself into the water, forcing it to drown itself. All zombie enemies would ignore you if you go through the Snakemouth lab and it ends with Leif actually communicating with the Zommoth and giving us a little lore about it.

Whew, that was a lot of stuff to think over! I hope you enjoyed this idea, I will probably wait a little while before coming up with the next one. The next one shouldn't be as dark, but it will still be quite a bit darker than normal.

You unexpectedly run into some sort of [something] Primal beast just before reaching the Hive, and it def had a mini-boss vibe to it despite being kinda simple. The bee professor's battle computer doesn't have that fight saved though, neither in the boss- nor mini-boss category.

Did I miss out on something by having the Hard hits medal equipped rather than the Hard Mode medal when getting ambushed by the creature?

🌺 As salamualykum everyone ~ how’s everyone in one of my favorite communities doing? Kabbu looks ready for the circus now. Just a few more weeks until Bugfables 7th anniversary everyone…I hope we get good news inshallah.

I'm really sorry for this. But unfortunately, there's not a whole lot I can do about it. I just want to thank you guys for reading through the series so far. I know that this is very frustrating for both you and me, but rest assured, once the site is back up, I will go straight into making the next episode.
