Another Orb Means Another Adventure/Transcript

Act 1
FADE IN:

EXT. MADOU ISLAND FOREST - AFTERNOON

NARRATOR

One fine day, Arle was playing with Carbuncle as usual, when…

Carbuncle swallows something on the ground, and Arle takes notice!

ARLE NADJA

Oh no! Carby!! What did I tell you about eating stuff on the ground!? Say Ah! Ahhh!!

CARBUNCLE

Gu-aaaah…

Carbuncle opens his mouth, revealing some artifact, and places it on Arle’s hand.

ARLE NADJA

C’mon, Carby… I can’t take you anywhere… Huh? Wait a minute, what is this thing?

CUT TO: The strange artifact that Arle is holding.

ARLE NADJA

(O.S.)

What could this mean?

Then, the artifact starts to shine.

ARLE NADJA

Wait a minute! It’s starting to do something!

CARBUNCLE

Gugaaa!!

ARLE NADJA

Not now, Carby. I must use this for later. Maybe it’ll be important to this plot or something.

CARBUNCLE

Gu?

Then, Arle and Carbuncle start to go back to Arle’s cabin.

NARRATOR

And so begins another strange adventure for our dear little Arle.

Then, the title for this episode comes in, which reads “Another Orb Means Another Adventure”.

FADE IN:

INT. ARLE'S CABIN - 1:00 PM

Arle Nadja places the strange artifact in her travelling sack, while Carbuncle tries to get the artifact, but gets bored of it.

ARLE NADJA

Not now, Carby. I fed you some curry, remember?

CARBUNCLE

Guga…

ARLE NADJA

Though I seem to recall that it somewhat reads “Reli the Pa”. (sweatdrop) That sounds kinda strange. Where’d the other half go?

FADE IN:

INT. SCHEZO'S CAVE HIDEOUT - 1:03 PM

NARRATOR

Unbeknownst to Arle, the other half of the relic, which says “c of st”, whatever that is, was at Schezo’s Cave Hideout. Right now, Schezo Wegey was practicing the transportation ritual.

SCHEZO WEGEY

(Practicing his transportation ritual)

Well, this is it. Transport me to some spot!

Schezo teleports to another part of the cave thanks to the transportation ritual.

SCHEZO WEGEY

(O.S., realizing that he’s in a bathroom, in the cave.)

I knew I should've washed my hands before this, even if I had some time to deal with this.

Schezo proceeds to teleport back to where he’s doing the transportation ritual.

SCHEZO WEGEY

(frustrated)

Argh! This isn’t working! How am I supposed to make this work!?

SFX: SHINING SOUND EFFECT

SCHEZO WEGEY

(hears the shine)

Maybe this strange relic half might be the problem…

NARRATOR

Who knew that he had the other half. Let’s get to…

CUT TO:

EXT. THE DARK PRINCE'S CASTLE - 1:10 PM

NARRATOR

...this castle. Let’s see what he’s up to.

FADE IN:

INT. THE THRONE ROOM OF THE DARK PRINCE'S CASTLE - 1:11 PM

DARK PRINCE

(looking at the sliced orb from Puyo Puyo Sun)

That orb of mine got sliced in half...Maybe these will be good for making some headphones.

VFX: WIPE TRANSITION

DARK PRINCE

(has the sliced orb made into headphones)

Looks like it’s crafted! Now, how am I supposed to get the new orb I have bought online?

Then, a portal rips open and shoots the package to the Dark Prince on the head.

DARK PRINCE

Ow! What is wrong with you!? Also, thanks for the package, and this might be the new orb I’m looking for!

The Dark Prince then places the new orb in his orb holder, thus turning on the new orb. The Dark Prince is astonished with the new orb, and then he tries to turn it on.

DARK PRINCE

Ok, new magic orb, let’s see if you can turn on right now. Hmm? What’s that? Oh! That must have been some fuzziness. Ok, ok. Now I see you.

MAGIC ORB

(upon turning on)

Well, I don’t even see you!

DARK PRINCE

(offended)

Oh, that’s just uncalled for! Why would you say that?

MAGIC ORB

Well, that’s just my insensitivity. Anyway, since you’re new here, it seems like you’ll have to enjoy this new magic orb you have ordered from online.

DARK PRINCE

Very interesting.

The new magic orb implements some computer keyboard through magic into the Dark Prince’s orb holder.

DARK PRINCE

It even works like a computer too? Let’s see how this’ll work. Let’s see what we got.

The Dark Prince then types on the keyboard-looking thing.

DARK PRINCE

(types on the keyboard-looking thing, which causes multiple weather effects around the castle)

Ok, this one works, that one works, this one works, that one works too, this works as well, that one too, that one works as well, this one too, that one, this one, that one.

(finishes typing)

Ok, there we go! Huh? Oh come on, I just caused a thunderstorm and a blizzard to occur. Don’t tell me this’ll affect anything.

CUT TO:

EXT. THE DARK PRINCE'S CASTLE - 1:13 PM

Turns out there is a thunderstorm and a blizzard occurring, a thunderbolt shocks Choppun, who was on top of the Dark Prince’s castle.

DARK PRINCE

(watching all of this occur)

Perhaps if I could use this as an advantage.

After saying this, the Dark Prince then does the face that the Grinch does when he has a wonderful and awful idea.

NARRATOR

No one will know what’ll happen next, but let’s find out.

FADE IN:

EXT. GOLD TOWN - 1:30 PM

NARRATOR

Meanwhile, at Madou Island’s local town made from gold, which is next to a village nearby, things are starting to get...very odd...Arle and Carbuncle are not sure what’s going on because-

ARLE NADJA

Hey mister narrator! Will you please stop your narrating right now? Why are you narrating all of this?

CUT TO:

What the narrator looks like, who’s like a storyteller.

NARRATOR

That’s because I’m a storyteller, geez! When will you ever learn?

CUT TO:

Arle and Carbuncle had their eyes widen because of what the narrator said.

ARLE NADJA

(with her eyes widen)

Oh, ok.

Meanwhile, a local resident of Gold Town shows up. He has something to say.

MALE RESIDENT OF GOLD TOWN

(panicked)

Arle! Arle! Have you heard the news? It appears that the Dark Prince was up to no good yet again! He’s causing lots of weather effects, creating living bodies of armor to use as his own guards, and he even made a propaganda website!

ARLE NADJA

(confused)

Why a propaganda website?

MALE RESIDENT OF GOLD TOWN

Erm...forget the last part. But seriously, you outta stop him again!

ARLE NADJA

I knew this’ll happen.

Arle and Carbuncle proceed to leave Gold Town and go to Schezo’s cave hideout.

VFX: PUYO STAMPEDE TRANSITION

EXT. SCHEZO'S CAVE HIDEOUT - 1:50 PM

ARLE NADJA

Well Schezo, I made it, despite the directions.

SCHEZO WEGEY

Arle, you again. How did you get here?

ARLE NADJA

Oh, it’s a long story. But anyway, it appears that the Dark Prince apparently got his hands on some new orb and started to use many tricks and traps around his castle.

CARBUNCLE

Guga guga!

SCHEZO WEGEY

Oh yeah, I happen to see it from afar. Well let’s figure out how to stop the Dark Prince’s newest plan to mess up Madou Island while the people who are watching this will have to watch this commercial break!

ARLE NADJA

Ok.

FADE OUT: The commercial break begins.

Act 2
After the commercial break.

FADE IN:

EXT. THE DARK PRINCE'S CASTLE - 2:10 PM

Arle, Carbuncle, and Schezo are peeking out of the bushes.

SCHEZO WEGEY

(quietly)

Hey Arle, have I ever told you how I wanted you or your magic powers?

ARLE NADJA

(quietly while confused)

What?!? You’re creeping me out. Why should I be going on an adventure with you anyway?

SCHEZO WEGEY

(quietly)

Because those guards will hear us and think we were compensating for something! But…

Schezo Wegey teleports out of the bush, then teleports in front of the castle guard, whose armor makes him somewhat intimidating.

SCHEZO WEGEY

Let us in, you castle guard scum!

CASTLE GUARD

No can do! Why’s that? Because you ain’t going anywhere!

Then, Arle and Carbuncle catch up to Schezo.

ARLE NADJA

Look sir, we just wanted to stop the Dark Prince right now.

CASTLE GUARD

Aside from that, I can’t let you in unless you pay up!

ARLE NADJA

Well then.

(pulls out some moneybags, as does Schezo Wegey)

Can this work?

CASTLE GUARD

(takes off his helmet to reveal a moustached fella, who’s actually very considerate)

Ok! That can do! I’ll let you folks in!

CARBUNCLE

Gu~!

CASTLE GUARD

Enjoy your stay at the castle!

CUT TO:

INT. THE DARK PRINCE'S CASTLE - 2:12 PM

Arle, Carbuncle, and Schezo have entered the Dark Prince’s castle.

ARLE NADJA

Who knew that the Dark Prince has some castle that has an interior of a medieval one. I wonder why.

SCHEZO WEGEY

Maybe it’s because this castle used to be a barren medieval castle.

ARLE NADJA

I was not aware of that.

(notices the castle guards)

Uh-oh! Castle guards!

The castle guards slowly approach Arle, Carbuncle, and Schezo.

CARBUNCLE

Guga?!?

SCHEZO WEGEY

There’s more?!?

CUT TO:

INT. THE DARK PRINCE'S THRONE ROOM - 2:12 PM

DARK PRINCE

(looking at what’s going on through his new magic orb)

Intruders? In my castle!? Ha! I surely doubt they will be showing up in my throne room.

MAGIC ORB

We’ll make sure they’ll never reach your throne room filled with your royal glory!

DARK PRINCE

We can only hope!

CUT TO:

INT. THE DARK PRINCE'S CASTLE - 2:13 PM

NARRATOR

The castle guards surround our heroes, and they are ready to attack and-

ARLE NADJA

Hey! Cut that out!

CARBUNCLE

Gugu!

SCHEZO WEGEY

Seriously, we don’t need a narrator that constantly shouts out any plot points! It’s really annoying!

NARRATOR

(frustrated)

Ugh...alright, fine, you know what? I quit! See you later!

SCHEZO WEGEY

Now that he’s gone, let’s attack those guards!

ARLE NADJA

With our magic powers!

Then, Arle and Schezo used their magic powers against the castle guards, followed by Arle busting a cap on a castle guard with the Multi-Magic (which is what Bayoen is known as outside of Japan, BTW). After that, Arle, Carbuncle, and Schezo reach the Dark Prince’s throne room, ready to kick his royal butt.

DARK PRINCE

(frustrated upon what he has saw in front of him)

You have got to be kidding me…

ARLE NADJA

You madman! We came here to stop you and that new magic orb of yours!

DARK PRINCE

Perhaps this is because you do not fully understand my chaotic plan.

ARLE NADJA

Let’s settle this in a Puyo match right here, right now!

Thus, a Puyo match between Arle Nadja and the Dark Prince starts! Complete with “Final of Puyo Puyo” playing in the background. Meanwhile, Schezo Wegey tries to slice the Dark Prince’s new orb in half, but it doesn’t work!

MAGIC ORB

Can’t let you do that, swordsman! Why? It’s because I’m immune to being slashed in half!

SCHEZO WEGEY

What?!? No, no, no, this can’t be, this magic orb needs to be stopped...unless…

Schezo Wegey unplugs the orb holder, which turns the new magic orb off.

SCHEZO WEGEY

Hey, guess what? The orb just got unplugged.

DARK PRINCE

(shocked upon hearing this)

You WHAT?!?

Then, a pile of Puyos start to drop on the Dark Prince, causing him to panic (like he did when he lost in Puyo Puyo (1992)). Then, the Dark Prince is now buried in the Puyo pile.

DARK PRINCE

(angered)

You white-haired jerk! Now the damage I did with my new magic orb is now gone for good!

ARLE NADJA

Carby, we won! By the way, Schezo, did you manage to merge the two pieces together?

SCHEZO WEGEY

Yeah, and the message reads “Relic of the Past”. I guess this means that I get to keep it! Off I go!

Then, Schezo proceeds to teleport away from the throne room.

ARLE NADJA

Cheeky weirdo. Well Carby, it’s just you and me.

DARK PRINCE

Oh come on, my precious Arly, haven’t you forgotten about me? I’ve been thinking about our honeymoon in the middle of a starry night, and let’s face it, you and I are engaged, I’ve been thinking of a date, care for some curry? If not, I’ll go make you do it by force! How does that sound?

(notices that Arle and Carbuncle have already left the castle)

Where did you go?

CUT TO:

EXT. MADOU ISLAND FOREST - 4:00 PM

Arle and Carbuncle are leaving the Dark Prince’s castle and heading back to Arle’s cabin.

ARLE NADJA

Forget what the Dark Lame-o said, we’re going back to our cabin. Let’s get some curry after that.

CARBUNCLE

Guga guga!

DARK PRINCE

(O.S.)

Just you wait, you two fools who left me behind. Soon I have you two someday. Me, strong, strapping, mad-capping monarch of the dark! Oh, this isn’t worth it…

Thus, the episode ends. The end credits contains three Carbuncles dancing to “Ondo of Puyo Puyo”.
