Plot
At the end of the first game, the little hero boy Nicky has managed to defeat the evil witch Zoldrane the Sorceress and rescue his grandfather, and it seemed peace was restored to their forest. But after his toys get mysteriously scattered, rumors arrive that the witch had an equally wicked but even more powerful sister who is now causing chaos and preparing terrible revenge. And so his grandfather sends Nicky with a magic goose to seek out her lair.[2] If Nicky manages to reach and defeat the end boss (a dragon), a volcano erupts and destroys the entire dark realm as he flies away on his goose.
