Episode 1: Plan A, B, 3 and...Purple
Morino woke up in a blurry haze. He had no idea where he was and the last thing he remembered was laying on the floor of what he assumed was a giant cave. As far as he could tell he hadn't gotten out of the cave...yet. Something was wrong though. This piece of rock felt...different than the one had landed on. Which didn't make much sense to begin with because the entire goddamn cave looked the same.
He slowly picked himself up off the ground. His head as well as the rest of his body still ached. But not as much as it did when he crashed through the canyon. He looked around and noticed that the rock he was sleeping on ended a couple feet away from his right. He looked out over the rock which was apparently much higher up than he expected. In fact he didn't expect it to be high up at all.
"I see you're finally awake." said a voice from behind him.
Morino turned around to see a man in green armor seated next to an open fire. He was cooking some unidentifiable meat on a stick.
His mind was going overload trying to find out who the hell this man was, "I feel like I know you for some reason..."
The man chuckled, "I see that fall must have jogged your memory a bit. My name is-"
"Oh wait! I think I got it now!" Morino interrupted, "It's, uh...it's...it's Jerome right?"
The man frowned, "No...my name is Jeronimus."
"Hmm...well that's too long so I'm just going to keep calling you Jerome."
"Well you do what you must but I'm sure that name won't become permanent." said Jerome.
"What the hell are you cooking anyway?" asked Morino.
Jerome lifted the meat out of the fire and shrugged, "I have no idea what this animal is, but it's delicious. Honestly you'd think after all the time I would learn what this animal is but no. It's naked basically so that means there's no need to skin it. All I need to do is put it on a stick and wait for it to cook. Here, try it."
He threw the stick over to Morino who clumsily caught the piece of meat. Of course it was still hot from the fire and so he fumbled around a bit until he finally clutched the stick of meat on the side that wasn't burning hot to the touch. He brought the stick to his face and smelled it. It didn't smell any different from any other kind of cooked meat and so he hesitantly brought it to his lips and took a bite. Luckily it had cooled down enough for him to actually savor it and he found that it didn't exactly taste any different from regular cooked meat either.
"It's good." Morino finally said with his mouth still full. He was going to throw it back to Jerome but he put one of his hands up.
"No that's alright. The other soldier should be back soon with some more meat for us to cook."
"The other soldier?" Morino asked as he took another bite.
"Yes. Hal Jordan was his name if I remember correctly."
From below them came the sound of what seemed like someone climbing up the plateau they had been sitting on. After a couple of minutes a soldier in purple armor had made his way up the rock. A large bloody sack was strewn across his shoulder.
"Phew! These things aren't exactly hard to kill but they're a bitch to deal with in large groups." Hal Jordan said.
He threw the sack over to Jerome who looked inside and smiled, "We're gonna eat like kings tonight!"
"Oh which reminds me, I'm sure you're gonna want this back." Hal Jordan said as he reached for something on his hip. On his hip dangled some sort of metallic handle. Like a sword handle of some sorts. He threw it over at Jerome who grabbed it carefully.
"Be careful with that! If it was pointed the wrong way it might have killed me."
Hal Jordan shrugged and finally looked over to where Morino was sitting, "Well I see you're finally awake."
Over at Blue Base things were fairly quiet. Too quiet actually. There was no activity on the outside of the base, but the inside was an entirely different story. Elsa and Kinofpumps were both sitting on chairs as Hikari Oni looked over at them, a chalkboard they had somehow acquired was set behind them with random words and illustrations on it.
"Okay so here's the plan." Hikari Oni said, "what we're going to have to do is...dammit Duck! Erase whatever the hell all this shit is!"
"Well I'm sorry! But you didn't exactly let me help you with your plan so I decided to make my own."
"Oh really now?" Hikari Oni crossed her arms, "Well why don't you walk us through this plan of yours?"
Duck picked up the chalk once again, "It's real simple. See what we're going to do is walk over to Red Base and ask for their help with getting Hal Jordan out of the hole."
The three soldiers looked at Duck. Their facial expressions ranged from amazement, to shock, to confusion and this jumbled up mess of all three at once.
"Continue." Elsa spoke finally.
"Well! Once they agree, and they totally will because our convincing skills are that amazing, we'll lead them to the hole where one of us will dangle from the edge. Then someone will grab their arms and hold them as tightly as possible as they themselves are lowered into the hole. Then someone else grabs that person's feet as tightly as possible as they are lowered into the hole themselves and this goes on and on until the first person finally reaches the end of the hole!"
The soldiers continued to stare at Duck for an uncomfortably long time. The staring continued for hours but in reality it was probably only for about five seconds.
Kinofpumps cleared his throat, "So Hikari Oni what was your plan?"
"That plan was so stupid I completely forgot what mine was."
