Scenario:Spinnah - The End of Spinnah

The End of Spinnah

The crew makes it to the party grounds after taking out a few megacorp thugs. They fall for a trap—steel bars rising up from the ground that lock them in. Spinnah, however, is able to elude the trap and challenges the megacorp CEO to battle.

---

The crew will be making their way toward the megacorp responsible for creating the evil spin blades that hypnotize their wielders.

The enemy plans on handing one out to every attendee at the holiday party.

It is up to (Captain) and company to stop them before they can carry out their nefarious plan.

Lyria: Wow! You're looking so fashionable today, Spinnah!

Spinnah: Blending in's part of the game. After all, it looks like I'll have a big role to play today.

Vyrn: If we're going up against spin bladers, there's no one better than Fidget Fingers to have on our side!

Spinnah: Well said, Vyrn.

Vyrn: Anyhoo, there's something I've been meaning to ask. Why are toys of all things being used for world domina—

Rackam: All right, time to go! The kid's waiting for us!

Lyria: Yeah! We should be careful on the way there too!

Vyrn: Sigh... (Lost my chance to ask again...)

The crew meets up with the boy, who takes them to the party venue.

Rackam: Why are there so many shady guys in the area? They're twirling their spin blades too.

One among the ruffians chuckles when he spots the crew.

Ruffian: Heh, you travelers best get outta the way! The town's about to become a battlefield!

Boy: Wh-what's that supposed to mean! What are you going to do to the town!

Ruffian: Damn nosy brat. Like I'd tell you a thing. Bugger off!

Boy: This is my town, and I won't let you ruin it!

The boy runs up to the ruffian and kicks him in the shin.

Ruffian: Screw you, kid! My spin blade's gonna leave a mark in ya!

Spinnah: You might wanna take it easy.

Ruffian: Brgwaah!

Boy: Heheh. You're really something else, mister!

Spinnah: And you should think before you act. Especially if you want to save your friends.

Boy: Sorry... I just couldn't stand the thought of them messing up my town...

Rackam: To be fair, I know how you feel, kid. Well, lead the way.

Before long the crew arrives at the party venue.

Rackam: If they get everyone here under their control, the town's as good as done for.

Spinnah: So where are the megacorp's goons? I'll spin circles around them and make them confess.

Boy: Ah! Over there!

The boy points to a group of children his age.

Spinnah: Your friends? We'd better get them to leave before they pick up their evil spin blades.

Boy: Okay! I'll try telling them again!

As the boy runs up to his friends, he suddenly freezes at the sight of the objects in their hands.

Boy: No... Evil spin blades!

They are focused entirely on twirling their spin blades, blank expressions on their faces.

Spinnah: So the megacorp's already begun handing them out, I see...

Boy: Stop twirling those spin blades! Get a hold of yourselves, everyone!

Boy's Friend 1: ...

Boy: Let's just play with mine! It's an oldie but a goodie!

As the boy takes out his own personal spin blade, his friend snatches it without saying a word.

The friend raises the spin blade up high.

Boy: Stop!

The friend slams it onto the ground. The spin blade is now in pieces.

Boy: What did you to go my gear! That was a present from my dad!

Boy: Sniff... This was the last present my dad gave me before he went off to spin blader training years ago...

Dad: I'll be going now. Use this spin blade to keep Mom safe.

Boy: You can count on me, Dad! Good luck out there!

Dad: Good answer! You make me proud to be your dad! Hahah!

The friend remains expressionless even after having destroyed such an important keepsake, a sign that he's been fully hypnotized.

What happens next comes as a surprise to all.

Spinnah: Watch out, everyone!

Vyrn: Urk!

Iron bars suddenly come down on the crew and keep them locked in, save for Spinnah.

Spinnah: Looks like they knew we'd be coming to the party.

Rackam: How did you know to dodge at the right moment?

Spinnah: I was able to read the change in wind pressure when the wings of my spin blades slightly twitched in response to the iron bars coming down.

CEO: Hah-hah, you're quite the fighter.

Boy: That's the CEO of the megacorp!

Spinnah: So you're the one plotting world domination.

CEO: That's right! My evil spin blades will bring the world under my control!

Ruffian: Hehe. Quaking in your boots yet? You got me pretty good earlier!

Spinnah: You again... That explains why the megacorp knew about us coming.

Spinnah: But this changes nothing! In fact, everything's just been made crystal clear!

CEO: Mwahaha! Too bad I can't let you live now that you know the truth!

Vyrn: Er... You didn't even try to hide the fact...

Spinnah: Come at me from any direction you want. Whatever happens, I'm going to be spinning some sense into you!

The End of Spinnah: Scene 2

Spinnah overwhelms the megacorp goons at first, but he falls under the hypnosis of an evil spin blade. The boy who came with the crew is called to attention by his spin blade and ends up saving Spinnah. Freed of the hypnosis, he knocks out the remaining goons.

---

Spinnah: Haah!

Spinnah leaps to the ceiling and tosses a spin blade while still in midair.

Big Guy: Urgh!

Vyrn: Yeah! Go get 'em, Fidget Fingers!

While the crew cheers Spinnah on from inside a cage, a man in a white coat standing near them watches the battle curiously.

???: My... That is one skilled spin blader...

Vyrn: Huh? Who are you, mister?

???: I'm the brains behind the evil spin blade.

Rackam: I suggest you surrender before things turn bad for you.

Scientist: Oh? Shouldn't you be the ones to surrender? Fighting by himself, that man surely won't last long.

Vyrn: Heheh, just you watch! Fidget Fingers is a heckuva lot stronger than you might think!

Scientist: Perhaps so, but I doubt he'll be able to outlast an entire army.

Meanwhile, Spinnah uses the wind from his spin blades to whip up the water from the glasses on the table.

Spinnah: Try and get me if you can. Just know that there's only one me.

Ruffian: What the... Why am I seein' a bunch of you!

Scientist: I can't believe it! He cast his reflection into the splash of water to create mirror images of himself!

The scientist is rendered speechless. But Spinnah has even more tricks up his sleeve.

Big Guy: Gwaaah! It burns!

Spinnah: Get close, and get burned. Sadly for you, that's no metaphor.

Spinnah tosses a spin blade that flies around the ruffians while unleashing flames.

Scientist: Unbelievable! The friction caused by the high velocity of the spin blade is resulting in fires!

Bad Guy: Gehehe, doesn't work on me! I trained on top of a volcano! A bit of heat's not gonna faze me!

Spinnah: How about this?

Spinnah thrusts his spin blades forward, causing the ruffians to start shaking.

Bad Guy: Wh-why is it suddenly so cold...

Bad Guy: Rgh!

Scientist: I can't believe what I'm seeing! Did he just freeze the air? That shouldn't be possible!

Scientist: Ah, I see! He's using the spin blades as a mega fan, acting as an evaporative cooling system!

The megacorp goons find themselves in awe of Spinnah's many breathtaking techniques.

Scientist: Humph... I'll admit you have skill, but we'll still be the ones to come out on top!

Vyrn: No way, Jose! Fidget Finger's got this in the bag!

As the battle continues on, Spinnah finds himself with a sudden headache.

Spinnah: What in the...

Rackam: You're not looking too hot, Spinnah! What's wrong?

Scientist: Mwahaha! Have you forgotten about the evil spin blades already?

Scientist: The hypnosis is applied to not only their wielders, but also to everyone in the immediate vicinity!

Boy: No... Hang in there, mister!

The crew rises up together with the ground, iron bars still around them.

Lyria: Eep! We're floating in the air!

Rackam: Eh, I don't like being shook around! What are you planning to do with us!

Scientist: Bwahaha! You'll be spending the rest of your lives in those cages!

CEO: Haha... Watch with us as the world is soaked in the color of our evil spin blades!

Rackam: Guys, this is bad...

Boy: Darn it... What now! We have to help Mr. Spin Blader somehow!

The crew can do nothing but watch as their friend slowly loses consciousness, surrounded by enemies.

That's when the boy hears a voice call out.

???: (...!)

Boy: Huh? Where's that coming from?

???: (I'm right here! In your pocket!)

Boy: What the... The spin blade's talking!

The boy takes it out of his pocket.

Spin Blade: (You have the power to save him! Just go ahead and spin me!)

Boy: I can't... There's no way I'm as good as him.

Spin Blade: (You'll be fine! You had the bravery to rise up to protect your friends. There's a special power within you!)

Boy: But one of your wings is broken... Not to mention I'm not sure I can throw you properly while standing on shaky ground.

Spin Blade: (Spin blades present infinite possibilities! Give me a flick and see for yourself.)

Boy: Um... Okay! I'll give it a shot!

The boy tries his best to get the spin blade going.

Rackam: Huh? What in the...

The others turn to the boy and are shocked to see him floating upside down.

Boy: Whoa! How am I doing this!

Scientist: What am I seeing now? It can't be! Did that boy really reverse the aerodynamic flow with the power of rotation, thereby restoring his balance?

Spin Blade: (Now!)

Boy: Okay then! Spiiiiin!

The spin blade slips past the iron bars and flies straight down.

Ruffian: Urk!

Big Guy: Ack!

The spin blade blows away the ruffians all at once.

Spinnah: Heheh. How's that for a comeback!

Spinnah: Time to clean up this mess!

The End of Spinnah: Scene 3

When the defeated CEO sees a group of merry children gathered around a spin blade, he remembers better days and vows to lead his company toward a more righteous path. Spinnah learns of secret societies plotting world domination through evil spin blades and is intent on stopping every last one of them.

---

Spinnah: I've crushed your nefarious plans. Ready to admit defeat yet?

Having defeated the megacorp's henchmen and destroying their evil spin blades, Spinnah corners the CEO and scientist.

Scientist: Impossible... How could my patented evil spin blades possibly lose...

CEO: Damn it... Those weapons were supposed to be our gateway to world domination...

Spinnah: A spin blade is a work of art. To use one as a weapon is merely one possibility of many.

CEO: Bah, what do you know! Spin blades are nothing more than weapons!

Spinnah: No, they're art.

CEO: Shut it! They're weapons!

Spinnah: Art.

Vyrn: Er... (What happened to those things being just toys?)

Spinnah: Quite persistent, aren't you? You need to look no further than there for proof that spin blades are art.

Spinnah directs the CEO to a scene of children gathered around a spin blade.

Boy's Friend 1: I'm so sorry for smashing your precious spin blade earlier...

Boy: One of the wings came off, but it still works! It even has a voice!

Boy's Friend 2: What? No way! Now you're just being silly!

Boy: I'm telling the truth!

Boy's Friend 1: Ahahaha! You weirdo!

Spinnah: A beautiful sight, don't you think? Can what you claim to be powerful weapons really make children smile like that?

CEO: ...!
Well...

CEO: You're right... How did I ever forget... I created spin blades to see children smile.

CEO: But the craze died off, and spin blades became a thing of the past far too soon. The despair sent me spiraling into a void of sadness and hate.

CEO: I vowed revenge on the world that had forgotten spin blades—a revenge that would take the form of what they'd cast aside.

Vyrn: Oh? (That explains why his world domination had to be done through toys!)

CEO: Now though, seeing the smiles on those children takes me back to better times.

CEO: Okay... I know what direction to go in now. I'm going to continue making spin blades as they were meant to be!

Spinnah: Solid decision. If you're ever lost again, just give a spin blade a flick.

Spinnah: After all, the answer to everything—even the answers you seek—lies within a spin blade's rotations.

Vyrn: Fidget Fingers isn't making any sense as usual. Right, (Captain)?

1. I wanna spin.
2. The answer to that lies in a rotation.

Choose: I wanna spin.

Vyrn: Haha, fair enough! Let's go play with a spin blade ourselves later!

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: The answer to that lies in a rotation.

Vyrn: Gah, not you too! Do you even know what that means?

Lyria: Ahaha... All's well that ends well, I guess.

Continue 1

On the following day, the crew prepares for liftoff at the docks.

Vyrn: Hoo boy... Just thinking back to the close call that Spinnah had has me reeling.

Spinnah: The boy's spins were quite brilliant. An entertaining party it was.

Spinnah: Though he doesn't seem to be able to reproduce that miracle spin. I wonder if it was a once-in-a-lifetime thing that the spin blade showed him.

Rackam: Wait, how do you even know about that? I thought the enemy had you hypnotized.

Spinnah: Heheh.

Vyrn: Don't tell me! You were just pretending to be beaten?

Rackam: How? The pattern and sound created by the evil spin blades should have had you spellbound.

Spinnah: I was able to nullify the sound's effect by a rotation of the opposite frequency.

Lyria: Um... This is a bit too complex for me...

Spinnah: To put it simply, the sound never reached me.

Spinnah: As for the pattern, it makes no difference if you simply turn your eyes away from it.

Rackam: Wait a sec... You mean were looking away from those goons while fighting them the whole time?

Boy: Heheh! I knew you were faking it!

Vyrn: Huh? Here to say goodbye?

Boy: I later thought about how that battle went down. And there was no way you could have lost to those lowlifes, Mr. Spin Blader.

Boy: I couldn't stop wondering why you had to play pretend. So here I am to ask in person!

Spinnah: It's simple. I wanted to give you a chance to grow, and I had faith your spin blade would rise to the occasion.

Boy: Thanks, mister... I keep telling everyone about how my spin blade guided me, but they just point and laugh!

Spinnah: I believe you. After all, spin blades present infinite possibilities.

Boy: Ahaha! I knew at least you would believe me!

Rackam: All right, we're lifting off!

(Captain) and crew wave goodbye to the boy as the Grandcypher begins to take off from the docks. He continues running toward them.

Boy: Hey!

Spinnah: The CEO said he'll repair your spin blade! Go pay him a visit later!

Boy: Thanks, mister! I'm gonna be a spin blade master like you one day!

Boy: My mom told me the truth about my dad—he didn't leave to train as a spin blader; he left to fight against secret societies!

Boy: There are apparently secret societies out there looking to take over the world with spin blades!

Vyrn: Gah, world domination with toys again—

Spinnah: So the megacorp wasn't the end of it, I see. I'll keep my eyes peeled as well in my travels.

Boy: I'm gonna go on a journey too one day to find my dad and take out those secret societies!

Spinnah: I wish you the best of luck! Trust in the spin blade! May the spin be with you!

Boy: Really appreciate your help, mister! Goodbye and take care, everyone!

The waving boy appears smaller and smaller as the Grandcypher flies off.

Spinnah: To think that there are more fools conspiring to sieze the world with spin blades...

Spinnah: I set out on this journey hoping to bring spin blades into the limelight once more...

Spinnah: But those secret societies present far too great of a threat to ignore.

Vyrn: Right... So why use toys to—

Spinnah: I say bring it on! I'll outspin every last one of them and crush their evil ambitions!

Vyrn: Lemme talk already! Why use toys for world domination?

Vyrn asks a good question. Spinnah might actually get back to him about it one day.

After all, the answer to everything lies in the almighty rotation.
See you next spin!

*Please refrain from throwing spin blades at people IRL.
