Day of Rain: Ten Journeys
Day 1: Day of Rain
Morning had arrived on Planet Bomber. Bomberman woke to the sound of rain falling. Most days sunlight was beaming brightly in the window in the morning, but not today. Bomberman got up and looked out the window. Clouds covered the sky, and raindrops lightly hit the ground.
"Looks like a rainy day," Bomberman yawned, "I promised Pommy I'd take him to the park today, though. Knowing him, he'll want to go anyway." As he left the room, he noticed that Pommy's and Baglion's beds were empty. The two Charaboms were already awake-they'd heard the rain too, Bomberman figured.
Upon entering the kitchen, Bomberman saw just who he had been thinking about. Pommy was staring out the window at the falling rain while Baglion kept an eye on a bag of Charabom food. "Good morning, you two!" Bomberman said. Baglion smiled at him and Pommy ran to him.
"Myu myu! Myu!" the small pink Charabom jumped up and down excitedly. Let's go to the park! Let's go!
"Hold on, Pommy!" Bomberman laughed, "We haven't even had breakfast yet! Are you sure you want to go in this rain?"
Pommy nodded vigorously. A little rain wasn't going to stop him!
"All right, all right," Bomberman replied, "We'll go to the park-right after breakfast. I believe Baglion is hungry." At this, Baglion jumped up and wagged her tail.
After breakfast, Bomberman grabbed an umbrella and went outside with Pommy. As they started to head to the park, Bomberman said, "Pommy, I didn't know you could eat so fast. You gobbled up your breakfast at lightning speed!"
"Myyyu!" Pommy smiled. I do that when I'm excited!
"I should have known," Bomberman sighed, "Anyway, let's try to stay dry-hey!" He cut off when Pommy began to leap forward and splash in every puddle in sight. "Oh, he never listens!" Bomberman ran after Pommy and tried to catch the round Charabom, who was still playing in the rain.
"Myuu! Myuu!" So much fun! So much fun! Pommy thought jumping in puddles was more fun than walking, and he tirelessly leapt all over the place.
"Pommyyy! What do you think you're doing?" Bomberman groaned. Pommy could be unpredictable, so it wasn't really surprising that he was doing this. Still, Bomberman was becoming frustrated by the Charabom's overly playful antics.
Finally, Bomberman and Pommy arrived at the park. No one else was there because of the rain. Bomberman turned to Pommy. "Look at you-you're soaked!" Pommy just smiled and ran off to play.
"Wow, he must never run out of energy," Bomberman said to himself. He sat on a bench and watched Pommy play. The little Charabom didn't care that he was soaked or that he was out in the rain; he just knew that he was at a park and playing!
While Pommy tried to slide carefully down the slide, which was slippery from being in the rain, Bomberman thought of something. It's been a while since we've had an adventure-and we haven't heard anything about the Hige Hige Bandits in a while either. Of course, they could be plotting an evil scheme right now…
Meanwhile, at the Hige Hige Base, the villain Mujoe seemed to be thinking about something. The Hige Hige Bandits were asleep; they had become bored of waiting for the next command. Just then Mujoe turned around.
"ATTENTION!"
All the Hige Hige Bandits jumped up and scrambled into several rows.
"Sukemaz! Where are you?"
"Right here, sir!" A Hige Hige Bandit came into the room. He looked like the others, but he was slightly taller and wore some different clothing. All the other Hige Hige Bandits moved aside for Sukemaz, the Hige Hige leader. Sukemaz walked up to Mujoe. "Do you need me for something?"
"Yes," the villain said. Then he grew more serious. "Every one of our plans has been foiled by Bomberman and his pesky friends. We're all tired of our schemes being useless! That's why I need you-as the Hige Hige leader, maybe you could come up with a special plan to stop Bomberman once and for all!"
Sukemaz saluted. "I'll do my best, sir!"
Mujoe smiled evilly. "Good."
