Tri-Star Palette
Ep.#04 - The Shadow Scepters
Written by: CS-Masyet
The light-colored are not the only ones with a base. The dark-colored have one too. One in particular is the Shadow Scepters...
?1: Walking down the hall. *sigh* I'm so bored...
?2: Hanging from the ceiling. Yo Lavey, what's up? Or should I say, what's down? *giggle* I'm so hilarious!
?1: My name's Laven. *sigh* What're doing up there anyway, Marco...?
Marco: Just hangin'. I've also got a great view from up here, if you know what I mean...
Laven (angry): Throws a bucket at Marco, causing him to fall down. Idiot...
Marco: Rubs his head. *tearyeyed* That was uncalled for, Lavey!
Laven (angry): Stop calling me that!
Grei: Walks up to them. The boss needs to see us...
Marco: Yo, Grei. What's up? I just was, heheh!
Laven: Shut up, you imbecile. Let's go see Blake now. The three go to the main room.
Blake: Sitting in a big black chair, in his dark room. You three have finally arrived. Now, Laven.
Laven: Um, yes sir?
Blake: You sssaid before that you were bored, am I correct?
Laven (nervous): E-er, I... um...
Blake: Don't worry, sssince I have a missssion for you.
Laven: Oh, a mission? Thank you, sir!
Blake: Jussst like usss, the wretched light-colored Double Palette got a new member. They are planning to form Tri-Ssstar Palette again. I need you to ssscare her into quitting the team...
Laven: Got it, sir!
Blake: Oh, and bring Marco with you too.
Laven: M-Marco?!? Can't I bring Grei inste-...
Blake (angry): You dare disobey me?!? I give you a missssion and thisss isss the thanksss I get?
Laven: I-I'm so sorry, sir. I'll do exactly as you've asked...
Blake: Very good. Now go!
Laven: Yes sir, right away.
Marco: Hooray, a mission with Lavey!
Laven: Drags Marco by the collar. Let's go, idiot!
At Tri-Star Palette base...
Bel: Warps to the base. *huff* Hey, guys!
Reed: Why do you look so worn out?
Bel: I ran here as fast as I could after class ended...
Oran: Idiot, don't waste your energy like that.
Bel: Sits in a chair. Sorry... Looks at the chair. Hey, wasn't this chair purple before?
Reed: We made it to match your color, since it's your chair now.
Bel: Cool!
Oran: Do you think everything is cool...?
Bel: Hmph, no...
Oran: Anyway, today is going to be your first real mission.
Bel (excited): M-mission? Really?
Oran: Yes. Some dark-colored are heading towards this area. We don't know whether or not they're going to attack the bases or the regular civilan areas. Because of this, both teams are being split up. You, Penny, and I will stay here and Brok, Reed, and White will protect the civilan areas.
Bel: Huh? Why are both our teams split up? Wouldn't it make sense if Reed stayed?
Oran: Since we're protecting both bases, it only makes sense if at least one person from each team stays.
Bel: I guess if you put it that way...
Oran: Reed, go to Brok's base and follow his orders. Understood?
Reed: Aye aye! Warps away.
Bel: *sigh* I wanted to do my first mission with Reed... Oh well...
Penny: Warps to the base. *sigh* He really isn't here...
Bel: Huh?
Penny: Uh, nothing!
Oran: Good, you got here fast. Let's go.
Bel: Go where? We're already at the base...
Oran: We're going to guard the entrance to both bases, just in case they attack from the outside. They all warp to the bases' entrance.
Bel: So, we just stand here until they come?
Oran: That's the idea.
Bel: How boring...
Penny: They might not even come here.
Bel (shocked): W-what?!?
Oran: Why is that a surprise to you...?
Bel: Sits down. Man... I don't want my first mission to be just standing here!
Oran (angry): Don't say that while sitting down!
Bel: By the way, how many of them are there?
Oran: I don't know...
Bel (surprised): *gasp* Oh my gosh!
Oran: ...what?
Bel: You actually don't know something! You seem so full of it that I didn't think it was possible...
Oran (angry): What's that supposed to mean...?
Penny: Bel, I don't think it's a good idea to get Oran mad...
Bel: I'm just being honest...
Oran: (She's starting to irritate me... If this wasn't her first mission, I would've left her with Bro-...) *gasp*
Bel: What is it?
Oran: They're close...
Penny: You sure?
Oran: Yes. Everyone, take out your weapons! Everyone takes out their weapons.
Bel: This will be exciting! I'm also looking forward to seeing what you guys' weapons can do!
Penny: *sweatdrop* Eh?
Oran (angry): This isn't a game! If you don't take it seriously, you'll get hurt!
Bel: *sigh* You're right, I'm sorry... A large, strange-looking vechile is seen flying overhead. W-what is that?
Oran: ... The vechile lands on the ground. Laven and Marco come out of it.
Bel: Only two...?
Marco: Oh, is she the new light-colored? She's cute!
Laven: Darn it, we're outnumbered...
Penny: Who're you? Never seen you before...
Laven: I am Laven... Takes out her weapon - a boomerang. ...the one who'll be taking your lives!
Bel: (That's the same weapon as Reed's...)
Marco: Cute new light-colored... Takes out his weapon - a hookshot. ...you'll be coming with us!
Bel: *sweatdrop* W-what...?
Laven: Hits Marco. "Coming with us"? What are you talking about, you idiot?!? We're supposed to kill them!
Marco: Techinally, we're only supposed to sca-...
Laven: Shut up. Let's just get this over with...
Marco: Whatever you say, Lavey!
Laven (angry): Stop calling me that!
Marco: I refuse to fight such cute girls, even the little one...
Penny: Hey!
Marco: ...so I'll take the dude with the sword.
Oran: Don't act like we haven't met, dark-colored Marco.
Marco: Oh, right. You're... Moran, right?
Oran: Oran...
Marco: Sorry, not too good with names...
Laven: (You sure aren't...)
Marco: Whether you're a moron or not, you still won't stand a chance against me.
Oran: We'll see about that!
