So, volume 2 of the Wakfu franga came out today. Here's a quick summary of what happens in it.
Needless to say, the following lines contain heavy spoilers.
Chapter 6: Ulgrude Loves Jiva This volume begins with a flashback that takes place a few hundred years in the past. Jiva is held prisoner in her own kingdom, and is being tortured by Djaul. Ulgrude, Guardian of Martello, then comes to the rescue. Jiva asks him not to interfere since Guardians aren't supposed to ally with one another. But Ulgrude is in love with Jiva, and that's reciprocal, so... well... you get the point. Ulgrude fights Djaul and finally defeats him, but at the cost of his own life. Back to present days: we see little Grougal and Chibi next to a big block of ice containing Ulgrude's body, and Jiva who swears that she'll bring him back by her side even if she has to turn the world upside down for that.
Chapter 7: The Departure Back to Emelka: Yugo and the gang are ready to set off for their new adventure. First step: the Justice Knights' tower to get all the required equipment, and to properly plan their travel to Mount Zinit. During a meeting they hold, Eva finally officially tells everyone she's pregnant. "We're going to have a little Iop boy" says Pinpin, immediately corrected by Eva: "Or a little Cra girl!" Mount Zinit is very far away, so they'll need some kind of vehicule to get there as quickly as possible. The Justice Knights offer to lend their steam train. However, it has to be tweaked since there are quite a few seas to cross. It also needs the power of a particular Shushu to feed the engine. Problem: that Shushu hasn't been tamed yet.
Chapter 8: A New Shushu In The Family The Shushu's name is Kerosho. He's imprisoned in one of the jails we could see in Wakfu S2E08. And of course, he's not quite willing to help our heroes. Someone has to beat him first so that he can be tamed and attached to an item. This pleases Pinpin, always up for a good brawl. However, he fails to defeat Kerosho, and is saved in extremis by one of Yugo's portal.
Chapter 9: The Dispute It's Adamaï's turn to try his luck. After all, Kerosho's power is spitting fire, so who better than a dragon can stand a chance against him? It pays off indeed, and the Shushu is defeated. Adamaï thus become his guardian, and Kerosho gets attached to a ruby generously provided (against his will) by Ruel. Meanwhile, Eva, Amalia and Joris are taking care of food supplies. Joris shares with the girls his thoughts and worries about Jiva. The 6 Dofuses could grant her a power superior to that of a god, so she must never get ahold of them. Later on, after a meal, Eva and Pinpin get into a dispute about whether Eva should come with the party or not. Pinpin wants Eva to stay somewhere safe for the sake of the baby. But Eva refuses to let Pinpin leave without her for the very same reason.
Chapter 10: The Great Departure Time to set off to Mount Zinit. The steam train has been remodeled by Knight Justice father and Ruel to take advantage of Kerosho's powers. Grufon is stuck in his usual GPS role. However, it seems the Shushu map needs an update since he leads them straight to an unexpected rift. They have to take a detour by the Mines Of Mororia (yeah...). These mines are infested with Cracklers, but luckily they seem to be asleep at the moment. Unless some Shushu, who would take pride in a worthy betrayal, makes a big noise to wake them up... And as expected, thanks to Kerosho, the party's now surrounded by Cracklers who don't seem to be morning guys.
To be continued in volume 3.
