Orange: Take the city?! You can't do that! What would your boss think?

Jade scoffs as she turns to Orange with her greedy glare.

Jade: Screw Orchid! I'm the one with the army! As long as there's greed in the world, I'm gonna keep on taking! {to the zombies} Spread out! Take everything!

The jade zombies all scatter among the city, breaking into buildings and snatching everything they can find. Then they take their stolen goods and place them in piles of their own.

Orange: Damn!

Jade: {cackles} You see? Everything is mine! Ahahahahahahahahaha!

Orange squirms more but is unable to break free from the claw.

Orange: Jade, this is really not cool! What are you even gonna do with the city once you have it?!

Jade: Who cares WHAT I do with it?! I just know I want it!

Orange: You should WANT a therapist.

Jade: {growls} You know what, you've become a pain in my side for long enough! So congratulations, you're hired!

She smirks as she prepares to use her Desire's Grip on Orange.

Orange: C'mon...

Then Orange realizes he has another ability that he hasn't used yet. He shuts his eyes tightly and shouts.

Orange: Here we go... ZESTY ZING!

{BOOM!} 

A powerful shockwave emits from Orange's body that sends Jade clattering down her pile of treasures.

Jade: OOF!

The shockwave rings out and hits the possessed citizens, stunning them and leaving them dazed in the middle of the street. The claw around Orange's waist disappears and he uses his Energy Dash ability to race back inside the Rainbow Residence to check on us.

Orange: Dudes!

We are all groaning on the floor, dazed as well.

Orange: Good, you're okay...

Jade snarls and flies onto the top of her pile.

Jade: You WON'T be! Greedflame!

She brings her arms together and uses her greed to create a ton of jade-energy arrows that float in the air.

Orange: {eyes narrow} C'mon, then! Mandarin Mirage! 

Orange's body glows as ten balls of matter emerge, creating ten Orange illusions.

Jade: YAH!

She launches the arrows at the illusions and they all dodge, running in different directions, making it difficult for Jade to determine the real Orange.

Jade: Grrr! Stop moving, you idiots!

The real Orange is pressed against a building, trying to determine what else he can do.

Orange: Uh... What else do I have...? Oh, uh... Citrus Camouflage...

Orange's body quickly blends into his surroundings. He realizes that he's camouflaged and jumps for joy. 

Orange: {chuckles in excitement} Let's freakin' go...!

He sneaks over to the pile of treasure and climbs it, slowly reaching Jade. The ten illusions are standing in front of her, teasing her by pointing at her and pretending to laugh.

Jade: OH I'LL SHOW YOU!

She roars as she uses her Greedflame to create a massive jade pillar that comes down and CRUSHES the illusions.

Jade: HA!

Then she feels someone tapping her on the shoulder.

Jade: What do you want?!

She turns and sees Orange smirking at her.

Orange: Zesty Zing!

Jade: NO!

{BOOM!}

Another shockwave bursts out, destroying the pile by sending the objects flying in every direction. Jade flies back as well but she propels herself into the air.

Jade: GRRRR!!!! WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?!

Orange: Me?! You're the one trying to steal crap!

Jade: Don't you patronize me! 

She creates a massive ball of jade energy and CHUCKS it at Orange, but he uses his Energy Dash to SPEED behind Jade.

Orange: You missed me!

Jade: Shut up!

She continues to pelt at him but Orange is too quick, dashing back and forth in front of Jade.

Orange: I'm here! Now I'm here! Where am I? You can't tell!

Jade growls until she looks back at the dazed civilians trying to regain their bearings. 

Jade: Your cockiness continues to fail you! Desire's Grip!

Two massive bursts of energy expels from Jade's body and targets the citizens. Their minds become possessed again and they start to grow hungry for material things.

Colortopians: Mine... Mine...

Orange sees this and rolls his eyes.

Orange: This again? You never learn, Jade. 

He dashes at the citizens and LUNGES into the air.

Orange: Zesty-

{SLICE!}

Orange: AHH!

A strike of jade energy hits Orange in the back, causing him to shoot forward and slam face first into the pavement. Jade flies down and creates a floating hand that tightens around Orange's neck, leaving him unable to breathe or speak.

Jade: Going UP!

The hand tosses Orange into the air without effort and Jade zooms after him. 

{SLAM!}

She drives her entire BODY into Orange's chest, causing him to WHEEZE violently. 

Orange: OOOGGHH!

He topples onto the roof of a nearby building and Jade lands next to him.

Orange: Z-Zesty Zi-

Jade slams her foot down on his chest, making him groan in pain.

Jade: Yeah, I don't think so. 

Orange: Grrr... Wh-why are you doing this, Jade...? 

Jade: Because I've been a thief my whole life. It's in my soul. Without crime, I'm nothing.

Orange: Th-that isn't true... There's more to life than this...

Jade: {shakes her head} I don't need to hear this from you. There isn't anything that you or anyone can say that'll change my mind. Desire's Grip...

A surge of jade energy appears in her hand.

Orange: W-wait... Can't we talk this out...? A truce...? Anything...?

Jade: Unless you have something I want, you're of no use to me. 

{BLAST!}

Orange groans and growls in agony as he tries to resist, but the greed is too strong. 

Orange: N-no...!

Orange's eyes turn jade and he starts twitching on the ground.

Orange: M-Mineeeeee...

Jade smirks as she gazes down at him.

Jade: Too easy.

{PUNCH!}

Jade flies forward and tumbles off the roof as Pink and I stand where she was.

Pink: OMG! I just did that! That was me! I blasted her! No way!

Me: {looking at the Chromanet} That was Petal Dance! 

Pink: Ooh, that's sooo fancy! I love it!

Me: Yeah, but let's take care of Orange first. He needs our attention!

Pink and I race over to Orange.

Me: Orange, it's us! Snap out of it!

Orange: MINE!

He tries to lunge at the Chromanet in my hands.

Me: Hey, back off!

Pink tries to hold Orange back but he is too greedy to listen. 

Pink: Chill for a sec, dude!

He breaks free from Pink's hold and charges at me.

Orange: MINE!

Me: Ah!

I throw the Chromanet into the air and Orange catches it. He grins greedily as he starts observing the device like it's his first time seeing it.

Orange: Mine...

Me: Oh, c'mon, Orange!
