I've decided, to fill in the gaps between my OTHER fanfiction, to make an episodic fanfiction based on Super Bomberman R. It will work like a cartoon, consisting of many different one-shot 'episodes' about the different scenarios involving the Bombermen. I have many ideas in store for this so it's time I upload the 'pilot', for a lack of a better term. I hope you enjoy. It's the first time I tried to have almost EXCLUSIVELY dialogue and incorporate humour, so tell me the results! Anyway, enjoy!
The Bomberman franchise belongs to KONAMI. All characters shown and used from the Bomberman franchise belong to KONAMI. I do not own the Bomberman franchise. If I did, we would have a new 3D Bomberman game already. Support KONAMI by buying their games (maybe). Support the Bomberman franchise by buying their games.
"White wants the Bomberman Bros. to train. However, everybody is quick to make ridiculous excuses to get out of having to do training." (Bomberman Bros. centric story, takes place before Super Bomberman R)
Episode #1
Training with the Bombermen
Planet Bomber...
The home of the Bomberman Bros., eight righteous robotic life-forms devoted to keeping the universe a safe place. In order to achieve this, they train all day and every day...
"You have got to be kidding me! Why are all of you just lounging around here?! We need to train!"
White was yelling at the Bomberman Bros. for not making it to training again...
...all day and every day...
"But, Big Bro! We ALL have a valid reason for missing training!" Green explained.
All of the other Bombermen, barring White, shouted in unison. Except Blue, who yawned.
"WE DO!?"
..alright, maybe not ALL day and EVERY day...
"Really...okay, what's your excuse?" Questioned White sceptically.
"Uh... I really hurt my leg the other day... and now I can't use it to train." Said Green.
White immediately responded back to Green.
"But I saw you only an hour ago running in the base!"
"It was an hour too long...just look at my bruise..." To emphasize this ruse, Green showed White his purple mark left on his knee.
"Oh...I'm sorry for doubting you Green...I could give you some money to buy a bandage if you wanted...here."
White then held up a stack of cash and passed it to Green. Feeling bad, White left Green alone and went to check on the other Bombermen. Green delightfully sneaked away undetected from the lounge and peeled of his purple sticker from his knee. Then he ran off to go buy a burger. Meanwhile, White approached Blue. He was napping on the couch.
"Blue. Hey, Blue! WAKE UP!" Shouted White.
Blue stirred from his sleep and groggily opened his eyes. It still seemed like he was half asleep.
"Wuh...what izzit'...now...?"
"Give me a good reason as to why you didn't come to training THIS time?" White said.
Blue was a little bit delayed when responding to White's question as he almost fell asleep again.
"I already did my quota...now lemme' sleep...zzz..." Blue answered before drifting off to an eternal sleep.
"Blue? BLUE!? Fine, have it your way..." Exclaimed a rather annoyed White.
White next advanced towards Pink and Aqua, who were sitting right next to each other. White hoped he could take out two birds with and one stone. Pink noticed White moving towards them and prepared a response.
"I know what you're thinking, Big Bro. But I just got this new accessory and I didn't want to ruin it."
White was flabbergasted at this response.
"Wh-what!?"
"I agree, Big Sister! And you look amazing with it on!" Aqua replied back.
"I'm glad you like it Aqua. It was tough whether to get this one or a different one I thought looked super cute as well..." Pink began to say.
"That's no excuse to skip out on training! What do you have to say for yourself?" White retorted.
However, Pink and Aqua were so into their conversation that they didn't notice White was talking to them still. White was mightily confused.
"Erm...hello? Pink and Aqua, are you there...?"
White got really ticked off at this point.
"...It's no use...when they get into a conversation, they never stop until hours later..." White mumbled as he sighed exaggeratedly.
White seriously wondered why he let his brothers and sisters join him on missions if they weren't going to try and better themselves. White started to walk over to Black. He was sitting on a chair and acting 'cool'.
"Alright, 'cool' guy, tell me why you weren't at training today?" White repeated, knowing how his question would be answered.
"Well, the thing is, I was doing some training of my own." Black said.
"Really!? What type of training was it?" White asked, surprised Black had done some training for once.
Black never thought that White would pursue his lie he made up. So he was caught off guard when replying.
"I...uh...only the most extraordinary type of training regimens, obviously. How else would I become this perfect?" Black responded with smugness in his voice.
"Well...tell me next time you train on your own..." White said.
White then decided to wander over to Yellow. At least he would try to be honest with him.
"Hey, Yellow?"
"What is it? Ahahahaha..." Yellow cheerfully asked while jumping up and down.
"Why weren't you at training today? I need to know." White demanded.
"But I WAS at training! How else do you think I would make the place more lively?" Yellow answered back happily.
White was taken aback with this news. At least one of his brothers had an explanation as to where they were. But White came to a sudden epiphany as he suddenly realized something.
"Wait...doesn't that mean...Yellow, did YOU let all of those animals into the base!?"
"Of course! Isn't it wonderf-"
But Yellow was interrupted by a butterfly gliding into the room. Immediately, he took off after it, ditching White.
"Wait! Mr. Butterfly! You sure are fast! Wheee!"
That meant White only had Red to go. He of all people should actually have been at training. He does LOVE to cause explosions...
"Last, but not least, what do you have to say Red?" White questioned Red.
"Well, the reason I wasn't at training was that I had adventures of my own! Filled with enemies and explosions and-"
White cut Red of as soon as he was able to go into detail.
"Red, you ALWAYS say that you went on your own adventures. I don't believe that any of them even sound plausible enough to be true..." White stated dismissively.
Red was somewhat hurt by this statement and tried to recall all of his adventures that he went on.
"So you think the legend of the Boom-boom crystal is fake? Or the battle between me and my intergalactic space shadow? You HAVE to believe that I became known as the Red Ranger in a different dimension! At least!?"
White just shook his head horizontally at every crazy and absurd scenario. This was definitely the most creative and outlandish excuse thus far. White saw Red getting depressed and sad, unlike him. So White tried to cheer him up.
"...Okay...you're excused..."
"HUH?!" Red exclaimed.
"Well you did have those...adventures...right? So you're let off for today."
White then started walking towards the doors leading into the lounge and took one good look at the room. So no one would of gone to training today...oh well...at least White got to talk to all of his siblings...White secretly whispered to himself.
"You know...I guess everybody has their different ways of training...even if it's unorthodox..."
White soon left the room afterwards.
The next day on Planet Bomber...
White is awoken by a ruckus coming from the training room...
White walked into the training room, wandering if the animals got let in again. But instead of seeing animals, White saw the Bomberman Bros. preparing to train.
"Hey, Big Bro!" Green announced.
"...Rise n' shine...zzz..." Blue sleepily said.
"You look great today, Big Bro!" Pink exclaimed.
"I agree, Big Sister." Aqua commented.
"I would of expected you to NOT slip up on your perfect track record..." Black sarcastically mentioned.
"We decided that ALL of us should come to training today. Yay!" Yellow gleefully proposed.
"So are ya' ready!? Just give us the word! Come on!" Red asked with a fiery energy.
White was almost ready to cry at this point. He almost surpassed Yellow for how happy he was that the Bomberman Bros. were actually prepared for today's training. With a dramatic breath of air, White shouted for all to hear...
"Bomberman Bros., LET'S GO!"
And so, another day has gone by with the knowledge that the Bomberman Bros. are ready to defend the universe from evil.
How will they fare for when threats actually attack?
Have the Bomberman Bros. turned over a new leaf?
Where did Yellow release those animals?
Maybe we will find out NEXT time on...
THE ADVENTURES OF THE BOMBERMAN BROS.!
End of Episode #1
If you enjoyed what you read, consider leaving a review about how well I did. I repeat, this was an almost new experience for me so I need all the feedback possible to get better at it!
If YOU have any suggestions about ideas that could become future episodes, let me know. I only have a couple of guidelines.
Firstly, it must contain many opportunities for comedy.
Secondly, it has to take place before or after the events of Super Bomberman R.
Thirdly, at least one of the Bomberman Bros. or Dastardly Bombers must be the main character.
Other than that, feel free to experiment! Anyway, I will see you next time with "Episode #2". Goodbye!
