Technical Difficulties (A Splatoon Script)

Part 4 - Friends, Freedom, and Other Things I've Fought For

Captain: It will be hard, I'm not going to lie. When we're all working together, we can support each other, and put all of our ideas together to make a good plan. But we're going to have to figure this out. Everyone is counting on us. (He talks.)

Captain: We're going to have to get the cure to everyone. But to do that, we're probably going to have to fight everyone.

Coral: That doesn't sound easy. I'm so much weaker than everyone and nowhere near as skilled as them, I'm afraid I can't do much. (Coral looks down.)

Captain: I know it won't be easy for either of us. It'll be hard to reach everyone and fight them, and it's just the two of us against everyone now. We're very outnumbered and outpowered.

Coral: You know that doesn't actually make me feel any better...

Captain: But if we use both of our skills, I'm sure we can get the cure to a few agents before the fighting gets very rough, and then the playing field will at least be slightly leveled. (They talk.)

Captain: Yes, you may not be the muscles of the team, but you're very quick and light on your feet. If you keep moving, it'll be hard for the sanitized agents to catch you. And I've still got a sharp eye and my gun. I can help keep some sanitized agents at a distance and possibly give them the cure before they even get to attack. (He thinks.)

Coral: ...Alright, I'm in. We've got to do something, and I'm not going to sit around while my sister and friends are sanitized. I just wish we could have a little more help. (Rosie perks up as she gets an idea.)

Rosie: Me and Emerald and Cakepop can help you!

Emerald: Yeah, let us come along!

Cakepop: Bwee-eee-bwee! (Rosie jumps up and joins the other two, determined.)

Coral: That's sweet, guys. Really, it is, and I appreciate you wanting to help. But this will be really dangerous, and I don't think you're ready for it. (She kneels in front of them.)

Emerald: I'm ready! I got to fight when all of you fought Octavio, and I was pretty good at it! I even have a gun for junior turf wars that I could use!

Rosie: And I, uh, I can- Cakepop can protect me!

Cakepop: Beeo? (Emerald looks determined and Rosie motions towards the robot.)

Coral: I'm sure you were great at fighting Octavio, Emerald!

Emerald: Well, I guess if you consider biting to be good fighting...

Coral: But this won't be like fighting Octavio. It'll be a lot harder and scarier. And Rosie, I'm sure that Cakepop would do the best it could to protect you. But I don't think this would work. Cakepop won't be able to always stay with you, and fighting might not be what it's made for. Besides, I'm not so sure if Echo would be happy with me letting you come along.

Rosie: Awww... (She has a hand on each of their shoulders and gives them a sad smile.)

Cakepop: Bweer?

Coral: I'm sorry, girls, but this is something that the Cap'n and I need to handle. (Cakepop gives "a look".)

Sound effect: nab

Coral: Huh?

Rosie: Oop! (Cakepop grabs Rosie. She and Coral are both surprised.)

Sound effects: Pshhh... Screeeee... *Clunk* *tick tick*

Rosie:? (Cakepop starts to shift and holds Rosie over its robotic "head", where there's space for one person.)

Sound effect: *Click tick tick*
