Technical Difficulties (A Splatoon Script)

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

Rosie: Whoa... (She gets dropped inside and lands safely as the walls of the robotic head go back up.)

Sound effect: click click click click

Coral: Uhhh... (Everyone looks up as Cakepop is growing. They're shadowed by it.)

(Mega-Cakepop stands up, tall, serious, and proud. )

Rosie: Hi!

Cakepop: Bwee-lee-lee! (Rosie makes it say "hi" and wave in a much cuter fashion.)

Coral: Can I point out that that's physically impossible? (The other three stare.)

Coral: It was a tiny ball, now it's huge and-

Cakepop: Beeeooo-weeee!

Rosie: He says this is what he's meant to do! He can protect me and fight! So I'll be safe! (Coral approaches and looks up at the robot in confusion.)

Rosie: And look! Cakepop does what I do! (Cakepop waves its arms around.)

Coral: Okay, so the robot can grow! And it looks ready for a battle! Well, this is great and all Rosie, but I'm still not sure...

Captain: Coral, I have an idea. (They talk.)

Captain: V had told us before that Micki doesn't take pride in hurting people. If she doesn't take pride in that, I'm sure that she wouldn't hurt Rosie and Emerald on purpose. Maybe if we try to fight Nicki and some of the sanitized agents, Rosie and Emerald can easily stop Micki and give the cure to everyone.

Coral: Hmm... you may have a point. (Coral points.)

Coral: Okay, you two- er, three- can come with us. But if things get too dangerous, I want all of you to leave, okay?

Rosie: Yay! I get to save Echo! I get to save Echo!

Emerald: And I can help Juliuz! (Emerald and Mecha Rosie look very happy.)

Coral: Oh, Echo is going to kill me when she sees Rosie like this! (She sweats.)

Emerald: Oh, uh, where do we have to go? (Emerald stops her mini-celebration.)

Rosie: Just wait, I think Cakepop's showin' me something! (Inside the mecha suit, the screen-wall is illuminated for Rosie.)

Rosie: Cakepop says somethin' weird is going on at some ancient human warehouse! Maybe it's them! Cakepop's makin' a map to it!

Cakepop: Bweep bweep bwoop! (Rosie speaks through Cakepop's walls.)

Emerald: A warehouse? They're hiding at a warehouse? Seems a little easy to attack, don't you think? (She looks confused.)

Coral: It is, but I guess that could be where Micki and Nicki are. We need to head over there. Oh, and grab a jacket. It'll be cold. (Coral looks a bit more determined. She puts on the hoodie she's holding, which is V's.)

Coral: And we need those vials, so we just have to stop by the apartments. Hopefully, there will be enough of that orange stuff to cure everyone. (Coral gets the vials from one of the apartment rooms.)

Coral: We need to find everyone as soon as possible, so let's not waste any time. We need to get this job done now before Micki and Nicki hurt anyone else. (They travel to the warehouse.)

Coral: Anything can happen, so be careful. It's just us now... against all of them. Let's make this fight count! (They stay near the door of the warehouse. Cakepop is small again, but Rosie is still inside.)

(Coral peeks inside, no one is there.)

(They silently walk in, past where Brooke, V, and Pearl were held, and where Micki was left. No one is there now.)
