Whiz is relaxing outside when he notices a green person who looks lost. He approaches and speaks up, his voice cheerful but gentle. "Hey there, you seem a bit lost. Can I help you with something?"

"I was looking for somebody," the alien says, looking at something written on his hand. The text is extremely blurry, and he squints a bit as if that might magically clear up the text. "Uh... Ki ideo...?"

Whiz tilts his head slightly, trying to make sense of the blurred text on the alien's hand. "Ki...ideo...?"

"I think I've been sent on a wild goose chase," the alien sighs and slumps over cartoonishly.

Whiz frowns a bit, now feeling a bit concerned. He scratches his head, "A wild goose chase, huh? Who sent you, and who are you looking for? Maybe I can help you figure this out."

"His name was like... Mega Blast or something weird like that. He had three pet cats. Uhhhh, he kidnapped my pet peeby named Nova, and I gotta capture a band to get him back. They were meant to be around here somewhere...?"

Whiz's eyes widen at the mention of 'Mega Blast' and the fact that the alien's pet had been kidnapped. "You mean... Master Blaster?"

"Yes, that was it!"

As he realizes the situation Whiz crosses his arms and nods firmly. "Ah, Master Blaster. Sounds like he's up to no good, as usual!"

"So, you think you could help me find... uh..." he looks at his hand again because he forgot in five seconds, "Ki deo?"

"I thought it was Ki ideo, what happened to the other I?"

"Wha...?" the green man stares at the colorful orange and pink sky, distracted by the clouds and birds.

Whiz shakes his head, chuckling again. "Never mind. Anyway, do you have a description or anything?"

"Master Blaster said one had glasses and blonde hair, two had brown hair, and another had black hair in a ponytail."

"Wait, that sounds like..."

"Like who?..."

"That's me and my friends, your hand, it doesn't say 'Ki Ideo,' it says 'Kidd Video'!"

The green man's face turns an orangey-red color.

Whiz bursts out laughing as he sees the alien's reaction. He can barely speak through his laughter: "Oh man, how did I not notice until now? " He laughs again, wiping a tear from his eye.

"Did you eat a laughing bush fruit or something? Huff."

Whiz finally manages to stop laughing, though he is still grinning widely. "No, no. I can't believe we went through all that just because you couldn't read your own handwriting!"

"Well I guess I gotta capture you now?" he says reluctantly.
Whiz crosses his arms again, "But how do you know you'll get your pet back? How do you know this isn't some trick from Master Blaster to get you to do his dirty work for him?"

The alien facepalms with all four of his arms.

Whiz almost laughs, but holds it in to be kind. "Ah, looks like you're realizing you may have been tricked."

"I'm not the brightest shed in the tool..."

"No worries! I've made my fair share of blunders, too!" He paused momentarily. "But this situation is kind of serious. My band has dealt with Master Blaster before, and we could help you."

"Really? You would help me?" The green man asks.
"Yeah, I'll help you. Not only because I feel bad for you, but because I can't stand guys like Master Blaster. We've faced him and his CopyCats before, and we won't hesitate to do it again."
