Orblaster
Ep.#01 - Getting the Blaster
Written by: CS-Masyet
Jel: Sitting in a chair in her house. I'm so bored...
Jel is a 10-year old girl who enjoys life like any other girl does. Except she has a tendency to be focused on one thing and be bored with the others...
TV: New - Orblasters! A fun, interactive virtual machine that works like real! Batteries not included.
Jel: I really want that... *sigh* But Toreen won't buy it for me... (I wish mom and dad would come back home...)
Jel's parents left on a trip 3 years ago and never came back. No one knows what happened to them. Toreen, her 18-year old brother, takes care of her instead.
Jel: I'll go for a walk... (Brother said to stay home when he's at work, but...) Leaves the house and passes by a store that sells Orblasters. Cool... The orbs are pretty too... *sigh*
?1: Walks up to her. Hey, Jel!
Jel: Oh hi, Fad. What's up?
Fad: Look what I got! Takes out an Orblaster.
Jel: Y-you got one! No way!
Fad: Cool, huh? I only have one orb, though...
Jel: Let me see!
Fad: Takes out the orb. There is a foot symbol in it. This is the Bounce orb. It lets me jump really high.
Jel: Cool... But that's not very exciting...
Fad: *sweatdrop* Yeah, I know... The one I really want is that one. Points to a Sword orb.
Jel: It looks expensive...
Fad: That's why my mom wouldn't buy it for me...
Jel: Your mom bought your Orblaster?
Fad: Yeah. You should ask your parents to buy you one too.
Jel: Looks down. ...
Fad: O-oh, that's right! I'm sorry, I forgot...
Jel: When they come back, they'll definitely buy me one! Runs away.
Fad: W-wait, Jel!
Jel (crying): Goes to a park and hides behind a tree. Mom, dad, when are you coming home? *sniff*
?2: CRAWWW!!!
Jel: What was that?
?2: A giant bird destroys the tree Jel's hiding behind.
Jel: Yahhh! A giant bird?!?
Giant Bird: Grabs Jel and flies away somewhere.
Jel: L-let go of me! Someone help!
Giant Bird: Drops her into a giant nest on a mountain.
Jel (scared): These giant eggs... D-don't tell me...
Little Birds: Hatch out of the eggs. CHEEP!!!
Jel: *gasp* No, I don't want to be eaten!
Mysterious Man: Appears in front of Jel. Jel, the world is beginning to fall into the hands of evil people.
Jel: What are you talking about? How do you know my name?
Man: Please, you must help us... Take this... Gives Jel an Orblaster.
Jel: An Orblaster?!? (It looks different than the others... And there are three orbs inside!) I'm sorry, I wouldn't be of much help... I don't even know how to use this...
Man: Just turn on the switch then aim it at the enemy and say the name of the orb you're using.
Jel: Like this? Presses the switch, which causes her clothes to change. W-what happened to me?!?
Man: It's armor. It'll protect you from most ordinary things. It is also necessary to handle the power of the orbs.
Jel: Um... What orbs do I have?
Man: You have Fire, Water, and Ice. Choose one.
Jel: Alright, I'll try... Fire! Shoots fire at the bird.
Bird: CRAWWW!
Jel: It worked!
Man: It looks like you can handle yourself now. I'll leave this to you... Disappears.
Jel: W-wait! Don't leave! I still have some questions...
Bird: CRAWWW!
Jel: ...if it's a fight you want, then come get some! Water! Shoots water at the giant bird.
Bird: CRAWWW!!!
Jel: (Maybe I can use them in a certain order to make them more powerful...) Ice! Freezes the bird. Fire! Destroys the bird, turning into an orb. I-I did it! Picks up the orb. It turned into an orb? I wonder what this one does?
Birds: CHEEP!!! Fly towards Jel.
Jel: What?!?
?3: Falls down from the top of the mountain. Whip! Whips the birds.
Jel: Huh? Who're you?
?3: Wind! Blows the birds away.
Jel: Thanks for your help...
?3: Glares at Jel.
Jel: E-eh?
?3: If you're going to be in a place like this, then you should pay more attention to your surroundings.
Jel: It's not my fault! The bird carried me here, and I just got this Orblaster...
?3: Looks at her Orblaster. ...t-that Orblaster... Where did you get it?
Jel: A man came and gave it to me...
?3: So you're the other one... (This is going to be a pain...)
Jel: Huh?
?3: What's your name?
Jel: Jel...
?3: (Jel... So she's...)
Jel: Wait, shouldn't you tell me your name before you ask for mine?!? You're rude!
?3: ...it's Orion...
Jel: Orion?
Orion: Levitate! Floats in the air.
Jel: W-wait! I have no way off this mountain!
Orion: Use the Wing orb.
Jel: Wing orb?
Orion: You're holding it...
Jel: Oh... Puts the Wing orb inside. Wing! Wings appear on her back. A-ah! Wings appeared on my back!
Orion: The armor allows for that to happen. Not everything comes out of the Orblaster.
Jel: I see...
Jel/Orion: Start flying.
Orion: Pay attention to what I'm about to tell you. It's very important that you listen...
Jel: *giggle* This is so much fun! I've always wanted to fly like this!
Orion: (angry): Yelling. I said pay attention!
Jel: *sweatdrop* S-sorry...
Orion: The Orblaster you have... is special. Same with mine.
Jel: Special? Really?
Orion: Ordinary Orblasters can only hold three orbs. Ours can hold six. Ours our also more powerful, and can make compound orbs.
Jel: Compound orbs?
Orion: I'll tell you about that later...
Jel/Orion: Land.
Orion: You live around here, right?
Jel: Yeah...
Orion: Then, I'll be going... Levitate! Floats in the air again.
Jel: W-wait! I still ha-...
Orion: You'd better learn how to fight before we meet again... You only won that battle against the bird because of the orbs you have... Flies away.
Jel: *sigh* I'll just go home... Turns off the Orblaster and walks home. I'm home...
Toreen: (angry): Where have you been?!?
Jel: I-I... Um...
So Jel finally gets a Orblaster, but with it bears responsibility... Will Jel get stronger and help stop this "evil" the man spoke of?
