[Azuclaro, Naranjo, and Amarillo are walking down the street, late at night, passing by the buzzing street lights. Naranjo holds herself, shivering to the bone while Azuclaro and Amarillo are all bundled up nicely]
Nara: Brrrr!! Cold as hell out here!!!
Amari: Why didn't you bring a coat then?
Nara: I didn't think it would get THIS cold! News said it would be 80 degrees out today!
Amari: The news isn't always accurate, you know.
Here, do you need my scarf, Nara?
Nara: Yes.
[Azuclaro suddenly stops walking just as Amarillo is about to hand their scarf to Naranjo. They stop as well upon noticing Azuclaro's stillness]
Amari: Um... Azu?
Nara: 'Ey, Azu! Why're we stoppin'??
Azu: ...
[The two look at where Azuclaro's staring at. They both see some droplets of this blue-green liquid that leads into the alley way.]
Nara: What... The [$%#&] is that?
Amari: Looks like battery acid... M-Maybe someone got too hung over-
???: WHy...
[The three freeze up suddenly.]
Amari: D-D-D-D-Did you hear that????
Nara: Yeah, I did! What was that?
Amari: M-Maybe we should go down a different road... I'm sure Rosado wouldn't mind us being a few minu-
Nara: AZU!!!!
[Azuclaro suddenly speeds to the alley and disappears down it. The other 2 Addisons follow suit, screaming at Azuclaro to stop and come back. He doesn't listen however and continues running, following the glowing battery acid trail.]
???: Why...
WHy.... why... why.. Why..
WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY
WHY D1D THIS HAPP3N TO ME?!
Azu: HEY!!
[A gasp is heard, just as Azuclaro slows down near a dumpster, leaning against the wall to catch his breather]
Azu: *pant* *pant* Is... Is... anyone here? Are you okay??
???: UH I UH UM... Y YEAH 1'M [[PEACHY!]] DON'T WORRY!
Azu: Are you sure?? There's all this battery acid leading down here, and...
???: THERE'S NOTHING WRONG THERE'S NOTHING WRONG NO NEED TO [[Press F1 for]] HELP...]
Azu: Er... A-Alright. If you say so...

... If you don't mind me asking, uh.. What are you doing out here all by yourself? In freezing weather nonetheless.
???: I M JUST... RESTING.
Azu: Resting?
???: [[Correct!]] I GOT INTO A BIT OF A [Rumble] AND NOW I'M [Winding down]
Azu: Well that explains the blood...
... Are you SURE you're okay though?? This looks like an awful lot of blood. And you.. I heard you earlier, screaming. You... sound like you're in a lot of pain.
???: [[Why do you care?]]
Azu: I... Mmm... Well, we all need a helping hand every once in a while, don't we?
And, the world... may be a very.. [$%#&] place, but that's why we gotta play our part and help those who need it!
???: ... H3Y...
Azu: Hmm?
???: WHAT S YOUR [Username?]
Azu: Sorry my WHAT?
???: YOUR NAME... WHAT'S YOUR NAME?...
Azu: Oh! My name is Azuclaro! Azuclaro Addison! I'm, well, an Addison- Mostly work in advertising stuff like car parts and machinery- You probably saw me a few times-
???: ... Azu... Claro?
Azu: Y-Yeah! It's like Azul Claro, but combined. It means Cerulean in Spa-
[Metallic clanking is heard as a figure slowly approaches from the darkness. A blue-green glow emits from its body and two pink-and-yellow eyes look at Azuclaro. The blue Addison steps back upon noticing the figure's large height, then his face turns into one of shock as he looks up at the figure's face.]
Azu: N... No... It... It can't be....! Oh my god!....
???: AZUCLARO... IS THAT REALLY YOU?

Nara: Azu!!!!!!
[Naranjo and Amarillo appear from around the corner and run towards Azuclaro, out of breath and panicked.]
Amari: Don't just run off like that!!
Nara: God, at least let us know before you go bolting after battery acid on th-
Wait... Who is....
Amari: Is... Is that? Is that who I think it is????

[What stands before the Addisons is a large robot with big sharp wings, horribly mutilated with half his torso torn off, a torn-off arm, and strings wrapped around him, piercing through his metallic skin. Covered in the same battery acid that led the 3 to him, he looks down at the two, with staticy eyes that never stop crying.]
Azu: S... Spamton... What the hell happened to you?
