Summary[]

Since getting back to Earth, Numbuh 1 has been living in peace with his friends. But the peace is short-lived when Underworld demons begin to conquer the world, led by the Demon King, who is Nigel's great grandfather, Malladus Uno. The seal on Malladus broke when the Sacred Trees, or the Treehouses, around the world lost their power. Nigel and his friends then had to go around the world and free the Treehouses from Malladus' control. But while they succeeded, Malladus was awakened anyway, and the Nightmare King informed the main group that they must journey to the Spirit World and retrieve a Sacred Light to empower the Grim Reaper's scythe with. After retrieving said power, Nigel wielded the scythe and defeated his great grandfather, despite how much Malladus tried to talk him into betraying his mortal friends.

Story Importance[]

  • It is revealed that Nigel Uno is the great-grandson of Demon King, Malladus Uno, ruler of the Underworld.
    • Malladus married one of the Annoyingly Cute Triplets, due to her having an inhuman aura compared to other mortals.
    • Nigel inherited his ancestor's firebending, which Father also possesses.
  • Nigel's grandmother is revealed to be the Shadow Queen, Malevolous Djinn.
    • Due to a deal with Grandfather, their marriage would grant the demons control over the shadows, turning them into monsters.
    • It was said that Malevolous was murdered by someone.
  • Chancellor Cole Fulbright is Fanny Fulbright's grandfather, and he is also a demon.
    • Fanny is revealed to have emerald firebending, inherited from her grandmother, a witch named Wuya.
    • Wuya was the adopted sister of Malevolous, making Nigel and Fanny non-blood-related cousins.
  • We are introduced to Dr. Facilier, Numbuh 5's uncle. He is a wizard and a shadowbender, making him the first character to use shadowbending in the series.

Reception[]

Reviews for Operation: ANCESTOR were mixed. Compared to Operation: GALACSIA, people believed ANCESTOR to be a faulty sequel. They were disappointed with the lack of crossovers, being limited to mostly Zelda and Power Rangers, and while the storyline was good, it wasn't as thrilling as that of GALACSIA's. Reviewers also noted how a few of the characters, returning from GALACSIA, seemed "out of nowhere" and "unneeded." Considering this, Gamewizard took the liberty of removing those characters from the new version. The bosses were also criticized for not having the neat puzzles or gimmicks as GALACSIA's did. Just as well, most of the bosses were criticized for only being Power Ranger villains, and weren't very much changed-up.

Differences Between Old Version and New Version[]

  • While originally 29 short chapters, they were all condensed and made longer, resulting in 15 chapters.
  • Obviously, action stages are included between Point A to Point B, instead of ending the chapter at one, beginning the next at the other.
  • In the new version, Antberry would have severed the Book of KND's pages, but was unable to destroy the actual pages. The pages become a collectible in the action stages.
  • In Chapter 2, during the park battle, instead of Antberry terrorizing the park, it was Phineas and Herculi, the two muscular Moblin that would've appeared later.
  • Octoroo never directly mentions that Eva is Kyogre's daughter, nor does he mention that he works for Davy Jones, until later on.
  • Tak, Dib, Marine, and Luvbi do not appear in the story at all. During the Sector W level, Harvey is already freed, and joins the team as they arrive, instead of Luvbi helping them.
  • Monty Uno and Agatha were removed from the scene during the Malladus backstory.
  • Nigel learns his firebending in the middle of the Sector V Treehouse level, instead of during the would-be boss.
    • Same goes for Fanny in the Arctic Prison level and Virginia's shadowbending in Sector K.
      • Virginia would actually talk with her shadow and name her Talia.
