Technical Difficulties (A Splatoon Script)

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

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Micki: Nicki! The last of the agents are here! ヽ(˚Д˚) ﾉ (She runs in the room on top of the machine, where Nicki is looking out the window. A big canister is in the center of the room with wires coming out of it.)

Nicki: The last of the agents? I thought we got them all.

Micki: Actually, we got most of them! Coral and the Cap'n were left, but they've also got a little kid and a giant robot with them! I dunno who the kid and the robot are, but I don't think they're official agen- (Nicki turns.)

Nicki: Are you SHRIMPING ME?! We left a few?! NOW?! Just when I thought everything was going fine, we've got another disruption. (She's aggravated.)

Micki: But, I mean, they won't be TOO hard to stop, ne? ¯\_("❍﹏❍)_/¯ Like you wanted? Coral is one of the weakest agents, the Cap'n is old, the little girl is really young, and the robot looks... inexperienced! I feel kinda bad that we gotta beat 'em, but we can do it! It'll be easy! And maybe we can get those vi-

Nicki: Micki... (Micki smiles awkwardly and walks closer.)

Nicki: If there's one thing I've learned from those stupid cartoons you used to force me to watch all the time, it's that you should NEVER underestimate anyone, even when they look weak and defeated! (She glares coldly.)

Nicki: And I've paid enough attention to those shows to know that this is the final fight, the one where the weak characters suddenly get stronger.

Micki: And the part where people like us are supposed to be defeated? (-"๏﹏๏"-) (Nicki turns away from Micki. Micki looks a little worried now.)

Nicki: If you're meaning how the bad guys ALWAYS lose, no, this won't be like that. We're not the bad guys. There's nothing wrong with trying to purify the world. And once these last few agents are out of the way, we can finally do that without a problem and complete our commander's mission. (She doesn't face her half-sister.)

Nicki: Now, get back downstairs and fight. I have some work to finish up here. (She waves her hand dismissively.)

Micki: B-but you know I'm terrible at actually fighting people! （￣へ￣) I can't punch or shoot anything to save my life!

Nicki: Then act as a distraction or something, I don't care what happens. Just get back down there. (Micki looks really scared now.)

Micki: Oh, okie. I'll try. (She leaves sadly and worriedly.)

(The sanitized fight the remaining agents beneath the machine.)

Coral: Sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm sorry! I really don't want to do this! (She fights with a worried expression. She strikes down some of the Sanitized agents.)

Emerald: Juliuz?! Juliuz, where are you? (She's very short and can't see the faces of the people she's fighting, so she's acting a little lost.)

Rosie: Come on! Fight me! But not too hard, I'm just a kid! (She makes Cakepop put up its robotic arms like fists.)

Rosie: Or don't fight me, then we can be happy together again! Yeah, you should do that! (Inside the mecha suit, the lights from the screens illuminate her. She thinks)

(As the captain fights, sanitized Callie and Marie turn their attention towards him.)

Captain: Huh? (He turns towards his granddaughters.)
