Pre-birthday Precipitation Debacle

Start from the beginning
                                    

...Or, at least until a spaceship appeared overhead. A very familiar spaceship.

"Adu Du." Halilintar narrowed his eyes as the alien and his robot minion were deposited by a tractor beam onto the grass, "What do you want this time?"

"Oh?" Adu Du smiled his signature evil smile, "Can't an old customer simply drop by for a drink at the best cocoa stall around?"

"If you just wanted a drink, you wouldn't have taken the ship," Halilintar replied flatly.

Adu Du cackled, "You're right, ex-buddy! I am not here to buy from your stall; I am here to destroy your stall! And take all the cocoa supplies when I'm finished! And I even timed it to be on your birthday, which makes it all the more devastating!"

"Dude, our birthday's tomorrow." Taufan couldn't help but say.

"Wait, what? Probe!"

Halilintar watched silently as the two started up a (somewhat one-sided) argument again. Taufan and Gempa came up beside him.

"Should we stop them?" Gempa murmured.

"Nah, I wanna see how long it takes them to remember their enemies are still here."

***

It took them thirteen customers and a kite stuck in a tree. (The two villains' argument had been significantly prolonged by Probe's certainty that today was indeed the 13th of March on Earth.) By the time Adu Du gave Probe a final smack, the park-goers had long dispersed and the triplets were lounging on the stools.

Without missing a beat, Adu Du continued where he had left off, "And now, behold my latest capture: Precipibot!"

Probe handed him a round object - wait was that a Power Sphera? - which he raised above his head. As if on cue, the sky darkened and clouds blocked the setting sun.

Gempa peered upward in confusion before glancing at his brothers, both of whom shook their heads to indicate that it wasn't their doing.

"With this Power Sphera, I shall flood the island and all its residents, leaving no one to stop me from stealing your cocoa! Muahahahaha!"

"Wait, Precipibot? Like precipitation?" Taufan enquired, cocking his head, "Wouldn't that flood the cocoa plantation too? And ruin all the cocoa powder?"

"Nonsense! Probe will take care of all that-"

"I will, Mister Boss?"

"- So now, prepare to die!"

Adu Du pressed something on Precipibot's back, and immediately rain began to fall in sheets. The wind picked up as a lightning bolt struck in the distance. Adu Du continued to laugh evilly.

The alien's delight lasted right up until the moment his spaceship was blown away by the wind. Precipibot was ripped out of his hands a moment later and also swept away.

"No - wait! My spaceship! My Power Sphera!" He yelled in panic. The triplets, now grasping each other tightly so as to not be blown away themselves, could only just hear him over the storm, "Probe, transform!"

"Got it, Mister Boss! Mode: Probey Jet!"

With some difficulty, Adu Du jumped into the cockpit (where five large packets of cocoa powder had somehow managed to find their way on board, and wasn't that just wonderful?) and flew away in the direction of his spaceship, leaving behind three wind-battered teenagers.

***

As Precipibot presumably got blown further and further away, the wind in the park was reduced to a more manageable level (although the rain stubbornly refused to let up). As soon as it was safe to do so, Halilintar shoved Taufan off of him and turned to squint in the direction Adu Du and Probe had gone.
