Orange: Tell me my powers! Tell me! I need to know! C'mon, man, you can't hold out on me like this!

Orange is bouncing off the walls as Blue and I take a breather at a nearby bench.

Me: Orange, Blue just finished an intense fight. She needs to rest.

Orange: I know, but I can't wait! You can't just say I have powers and not tell me about them! I need to know!

Orange snatches the Chromanet from my hands and presses the silver button. A screen pops up that says: "USER FINGERPRINT UNRECOGNIZED."

Orange: What?! No!

Orange keeps pressing the button and the same message appears. After the tenth try, the Chromanet releases a jolt of electricity that shocks Orange, causing him to drop to the ground, twitching and shaking. I walk over to Orange and take the Chromanet back.

Me: I said we're taking a rest.

Orange can say nothing and continues to spaz on the floor as I look back at Blue.

Me: We need to find a safe place.

Blue: But where...?

Me: Well, we can't go to the Rainbow Residence, because... Hey... The Rainbow Residence is a destination. If we head there, Orange and I could tackle whatever villain is waiting for us, and save another person in the process.

Blue nods.

Blue: As long as I can rest.. I'm good with that plan...

Orange stumbles back up and looks at the Chromanet like it's a scary animal.

Orange: Y-yeah... Sure, I'm down... Just keep that thing away from me...

I chuckle as I turn to Orange.

Me: Okay, Orange, it's the moment you've been waiting for. Stand tall and proud.

Orange starts getting excited again as he stands in front of me, and he can't help but jump a little.

Orange: C'mon, c'mon... Give me cool powers...

I press the silver button and the rainbow beam fires out, hitting Orange in the chest.

Orange: Damn... I feel so tingly, bro...

Before my eyes, Orange's information gets uploaded to the server. 

Me: Okay, here it is! Let's see!

Orange races over to me and he scrolls down to where his abilities are. Then he sees them.

Orange: LET'S GOO!!!!!

Needless to say, he's happy.

Orange's abilities are...

----

Energy Dash
Zesty Zing
Citrus Camouflage
Mandarin Mirage

----

I should have known his abilities would have citrus-themed names.

Orange: Super speed?! I have super speed?! Are you kidding me?! 

He hollers and cackles as he races back and forth, too excited to remain still.

Me: {chuckles} Orange, do you wanna know how to unlock them or not?

Orange: Hell yeah! Tell me! I wanna unlock all of them! This is too good to be true, bro! 

Me: All you have to do is concentrate and say this phrase out loud.
