A Questionable Quintet: The Vortex Crew's one-shots

The BIG Project

One day, Mintysweet was walking down the corridor of their base, deep in thought. A villain and her minions were threatening to take over the world, and Mintysweet needed to come up with something big.

Mintysweet is wondering about, muttering to herself, "I need something enormous… powerful… but I’ll need a huge room too. How am I going to do this…”

Suddenly, she spots a room she’s never seen before. It looks perfect for what she needs.

Mintysweet looked taken aback and froze, "Whoa… what’s this? The Main Lab?? I didn’t even know this room existed. I really need this room!" She exclaimed excitedly.

Some kind of robot's lights flick on.

The robot said, "Well, hello there, young one. Welcome to the Main Lab."

Mintysweet asked hesitantly, "Uh… who are you?"

The robot said, "I’m Crystalbot. I’ll assist you with your projects. What can I do for you, young lady? And how should I address you?"

Mintysweet said kindly, "Hi, Crystalbot. I’m Mintysweet. I have a huge project. How do I get started here?"

Crystalbot then replied, "Welcome, Mintysweet. I’ll follow your instructions. First, you need to wear this special necklace to control the room. Also, put on your safety suit and other gear to stay protected while you work."

Mintysweet puts on the safety gear and necklace.

Mintysweet said, "Got it. I’m going to build four enormous mechs for my crew so we can fight the villain and her minions."

Crystalbot replied, "Understood." She activated many robots. "These will assist you with your project."

Mintysweet looks pleased, "Alright, let’s get started!"

Mintysweet worked tirelessly, barely sleeping.

Mintysweet goes and grabs a coffee muttering,"I need a quick break…"

Lemonfluff looks at her, concern etched upon her face before softly saying, "Hey Mintysweet, you don’t look so good. Are you okay?"

Mintysweet huffs lightly dismissing the fact that she was, in fact, not okay saying, "I’m fine. Just need to drink this and keep going…"

Lemonfluff hesitantly said, "Okay…"

Mintysweet said hurriedly, "Oh no, I’m running out of time! I have to get back to work." She then rushes back to the Main Lab, leaving the cafeteria.

Willybottle asked worriedly, "WM Steve, do you think she’s really okay?"

WM Steve thought for awhile, then spoke grimly,  "From her eyes, she looks exhausted…"

Lemonfluff wonders out loud, "Does anyone know why she’s in such a hurry?"

WM Steve & Willybottle then said "No idea…"

Willybottle recalled, "Last time I saw her, she headed towards that room."

Lemonfluff had a sudden epiphany, "You mean that one? The room we’ve never been in, even though we pass it all the time?"

Willybottle, also starting to realize saying, "Yes, that’s the one."

Flameny, only listening to the conversation beforehand, finally speaking in concern for his friend, "She might be there."

WM Steve thought, "Probably."

Lemonfluff said, "Better be safe than sorry. Let’s check it out then."
