Story
''In the midst of a battle, one of Bright Spark's Machines, the Spark Emperor, gets thrown back to a nearby building telekinetically by Grim Shadow. Using this as an opportunity, Morning Glory uses her vines to trap Bright Spark.'' The Spark Emperor swings its lance, shooting destructive energy waves at the Purple-Ops. The Spark Emperor uses its shield to protect itself from the vines. The Spark Emperor charges straight into the Purple-Ops. ''The Fearmaster then fired a giant cloud of fear gas at the Spark Emperor, completely entrapping the mech in the gas... Where the gas eventually dissipates and leaves the machine unaffected. All the members of the Purple-Ops give the Fearmaster a "are you dumb?" look.'' The Spark Emperor continues to attack with the lance, and once it's far away enough, it charges right back into the Purple-Ops. The Spark Emperor crashes straight into the dome, breaking it, but the Purple-Ops don't take damage. ''Windy Cloud once again brings a cloud above the Spark Emperor and kicks it, causing it to shoot a lightning bolt at the machine. This causes it to be temporarily paralyzed.'' Morning Glory then uses her vines to stab through the cockpit, exposing Bright Spark. ''Grim Shadow comes up to the broken cockpit and starts shooting shadow blasts, attempting to hit Bright Spark. Bright Spark presses the eject button, causing him to be tossed out of the machine.'' The Purple-Ops see as Bright Spark is sent high into the sky until they can't see him anymore. ''Meanwhile, in the Alcatraz State Penitentiary's Medical Bay, a couple members of the Purple-Ops were getting treated for their injuries after the battle. A brown pony with mechanical wings and horn was wrapping one of Windy Cloud's hooves with bandages.'' Windy Cloud snickers while Grim Shadow looks at Tom in confusion. Back at the cafeteria, the Purple-Ops, some wearing what appears to be superpower-restriction devices, stand in line while Tom, a heavily-armored squid kid, and Alan look at the task force.
 * Morning Glory: Gotcha!
 * Bright Spark: Oh, this isn't over yet!
 * Bright Spark: Take this! Take this!
 * Windy Cloud: (flies above the Spark Emperor with a cloud) Take this! (kicks the cloud, causing it to shoot a lightning bolt at the Spark Emperor)
 * Bright Spark: Aargh!
 * Morning Glory: Get a load of this! (tries to use her vines to stab the Spark Emperor)
 * Bright Spark: All systems, full power! Charge!
 * Windy Cloud: Look out!
 * Fearmaster: Aw, crud! (dodges the attack)
 * Morning Glory: Uh oh. (entraps herself in a vine dome as a shield)
 * Bright Spark: Take this! Take this! (The Spark Emperor swings its lance again, shooting destructive energy waves)
 * Fearmaster: I have enough of this! Take THIS!
 * Grim Shadow: What did you expect would happen?
 * Fearmaster: I dunno! Maybe the gas might've to seep though the vents of the machine?
 * Starshine: (sarcasm) Brilliant move, Fearmaster...
 * Fearmaster: Shut up.
 * Bright Spark: Hahaha! Your end is near! Take this! (the Spark Emperor continues to swing its lance and creating more destructive energy waves)
 * Morning Glory: Augh! How do we even take this thing down?! Boss! Got any idea?!
 * Alan (Earphones): Well, the model seems new, but nothing but a little research won't help. Give me a moment...
 * Fearmaster: Grim Shadow! Look out!
 * Grim Shadow: (teleports out of the way) Didn't even break a sweat.
 * Bright Spark: So you think you're so cool? Wait until you've seen this machine's ultimate power!
 * Morning Glory: Hang on, guys! (creates a giant dome around her allies with tree trunks and vines) Please take it please take it please take it...
 * Morning Glory: Phew!
 * Alan (Earphones): Hmph. Disappointing. From what I got from decrypting his files, the only things new about the "Spark Emperor" is that the jetpack's engines were replaced with Bright Spark's newer model, the gold plating was replaced with titanium with gold paint, and the cockpit was given a standard cooling unit.
 * Fearmaster: Wait, out of all the other improvements of the machine, Bright Spark listed giving the cockpit a fan as part of the updated model??
 * Alan (Earphones): That's beside the point, Mr. Jones. What is certain is that the machine's weakness remains the same: destroy the stained glass on the cockpit separating between you and Bright Spark, but I recommend taking down the machine's shield first.
 * Starshine: Well, I guess our first target will be the shield so that we can get to the cockpit with ease.
 * Grim Shadow: Let's do it.
 * Bright Spark: Take this! Take this! (the Spark Emperor continues to shoot destructive energy waves with its lance)
 * Windy Cloud: I've got an idea. I'll strike it with lightning to paralyze it so you guys can land your hits easier!
 * Bright Spark: No way! I can't believe this!
 * Morning Glory: Time to end this! Get a load of this! ... Wait, didn't I say that already?
 * Bright Spark: Agh!
 * Grim Shadow: Now it's time to finish the job.
 * Bright Spark: You'll pay for this!
 * Windy Cloud: Well, it looks like Bright Spark's blasting off again.
 * Morning Glory: Buh-bye!
 * Alan (Earphones): Your mission is now accomplished, Task Force V. But on an off-topic sidenote, why would the gang suddenly decided that they needed a vacation? Even a kid playing superhero would be sensible enough to know that's dumb.
 * Grim Shadow: They're too incompetent. I'm sure you all still remember the Captain Dark Shell incident. They let him take over almost the entire multiverse before even showing up.
 * Alan (Earphones): About time. Something we can both agree on.
 * Starshine: Well, I guess our job is done here, right?
 * Alan (Earphones): Indeed. Come back to Alcatraz. I'm willing to assume that a couple of you is hurt after the battle.
 * Fearmaster: Yeah, I got a couple of scratches myself. What about you, Windy Cloud?
 * Windy Cloud: Well, I'll admit I've been better. Though it's nice that we're going back.
 * Grim Shadow: Nice? For you? You love every moment you're out of Alcatraz.
 * Windy Cloud: Yeah... I'm just a bit tired, ok?
 * Brown Pony: Y'know, I'm surprised Bright Spark hadn't tried to break your wings off yet, considering he has encountered you more than once. (Gets done treating Windy Cloud) Done.
 * Windy Cloud: Thanks, Bronze Cog.
 * Tom: (Glares at Windy Cloud) It's TOM, you simpleton!
 * Windy Cloud: I'm aware of it, Bronze Cog.
 * Grim Shadow: Well, back to the usual. Right, Fred?
 * ???: (demon-like voice) Yes... oh well, it was fun to cause destruction while it lasted.
 * Tom: Well then, Windy Cloud, why don't you actually say my name, you big, dumb, stupid... Uh, doodoo... Head?
 * Windy Cloud: Oh, you're always so funny when you're angry. Did you know that?
 * Grim Shadow: I don't know what's worse. The fact that he can't come up with a proper insult, or the fact that you find this funny.
 * ???: (demon-like voice) I think what's worse is that we're not devouring souls right now.
 * Starshine: Whatever...
 * Tom: Alright, the rest of you can report to the cafeteria. (turns to Windy Cloud) Especially you, Windy. (turns back to everyone else) Mr. Robertson is waiting for you all.
 * Grim Shadow: Let's get going.
 * Fearmaster: (sigh) He's gonna go through that stupid little speech again, isn't he?

The rest of the task force nod at Alan. ''The Purple-Ops were then brought back to their cells, each one having decorations that represent their personalities. While the other members were doing activities to pass the time being in their cells (Fearmaster playing Solitaire, Starshine looking onto her phone, Grim Shadow reading a book, etc), Windy Cloud patiently waits for her laptop's arrival. Eventually, after she decided to wash her face, a man wearing a white mailman suit arrives.'' Windy Cloud rushes to get the package, seeming very excited. ''Windy Cloud opens the package and behold, she got her laptop... Which is apparently HyperTech brand.'' ''Windy Cloud immediately turns on the laptop and starts using it. A couple of hours passed and it's lunchtime. In the cafeteria, the Fearmaster was eating his lunch with Starshine when he noticed that Windy Cloud bought her laptop and was still using it.'' Starshine goes to see what Windy Cloud is doing, but as soon as Windy Cloud sees Starshine coming, she quickly closes her laptop. Starshine comes back to Fearmaster. ''Hours passed and its recreation time. Outside in the prison yard, many guards watch the Purple-Ops members do things to pass the time (Fearmaster playing poker with Starshine, while Grim Shadow is chatting with Fred). Meanwhile, Windy Cloud is sitting in the shade of a tree, still looking on her laptop. Morning Glory then slowly drops down from the tree to see what she is doing.'' Windy Cloud takes her laptop and flies to another place, but there she encounters Starshine. Windy Cloud flies to another spot, but there she finds Fearmaster. Windy Cloud flies out of there with her laptop, and hides in a dark are of the yard. Windy Cloud lands in another spot and opens her laptop again. As Windy Cloud goes back to social media, Starshine and the Fearmaster watch. Fearmaster and Starshine look at Morning Glory for a few seconds. Fearmaster then decides to approach Windy Cloud. Grim Shadow watches from a distance. Back to where we were. ''Windy Cloud briefly becomes embarrassed before giving the guard a death glare so scary that the guard slowly backed off. Once the guard has left, Windy Cloud feels relieved to be left alone.'' Meanwhile, in the HyperTech Science Tower... Alan stays silent for a moment. ''Back in Alcatraz, the sun is beginning to set. Windy Cloud is laying on the bed in her cell, looking at her laptop.'' Then, a couple of guards came to Windy Cloud's cell and opened the cell door. The Guards led Windy Cloud into the interrogation room, where she met Alan himself sitting in one of the chairs, looking at her. A brief moment of silence, as Windy Cloud nervously prepares herself for the question. The suspense gone, Windy Cloud's face immediately becomes red in embarrassment. ''Then, a couple of guards come in and led Windy Cloud back to her cell. On her way, she passes by Fearmaster's cell.'' Windy Cloud then proceeds to go back into her cell and open her laptop. ''Windy Cloud goes directly to see Blue Ocean's posts and thinks about if she should send him a message. Meanwhile, back in the HyperTech Science Tower, Alan is roaming in the corridors of the lab alongside Tom.'' ''Alan and Tom then part their ways. However, after Alan is out of the earshot, Tom starts speaking.'' Back in Alcatraz, Windy Cloud is still on her laptop, talking with Blue Ocean on Facebook. ''Suddenly, a pipe pops out of a hole in her cell and starts leaking sleeping gas. Windy Cloud notices this.'' Windy Cloud stays asleep for a while until she feels someone poking her on her side. Windy Cloud wakes up and sees that she's in the briefing room, a medium-sized, purple dome-like room, alone with Tom.
 * Alan: I would like to congratulate you all again for your remarkable victory against Bright Spark...
 * Tom: I mean, the victory was expected. I mean, if Mr. Sparknik really thought he is the most intelligent Unicorn in Equestria, then shouldn't he be rulin' the world with an iron fist by now?
 * Alan: (sternly) Tom...
 * Tom: Sorry, boss.
 * Alan: ... Anyway. I've always failed to understand the fact that, prior to your captures, you would use the powers you all acquired in the past for your own, villainous desires.
 * Morning Glory: Villainous desire? But Mr. Robertson, I've never used my powers for anything that would be considered evil! I am, after all, the guardian to Gaia's Creations!
 * Alan: Morning Glory, you've committed seven accounts of first-degree murder...
 * Morning Glory: What is your point? They've all trespassed and vandalized my territory.
 * Alan: But they were all teenagers!
 * Starshine: So, since when does using my powers to become famous and rich count as being villainous, may I ask?
 * Alan: You've committed several accounts of theft, fraud, and mass mind control, and you used said mind control to escape punishment from the city judge and jury. I'm not sure that type of a a criminal history would get you famous, Miss Light.
 * Fearmaster: She would, however, become infamous.
 * Alan: Zip it.
 * WIndy Cloud: What about me? All I did was prank a few people!
 * Alan: Pranks?! You've ruined crops from several regions of Equestria and the world with your weather-altering abilities, "trolled" dozens of weather forecasters up to the point of insanity, and pranked a large number of people by raining on them in the worse possible moments! You were lucky nobody was ever hurt during your last shreds of freedom; you'd take your pranks way too far!
 * Windy Cloud: Oh, that... (looks at Grim Shadow) What? Aren't you going to ask?
 * Grim Shadow: What for? I know what I did.
 * Alan: He certainly does. Being a victim of bullying prior to getting his powers doesn't excuse him of his crimes; he had killed the students that had bullied him and, to put it simply, brutally attacks anyone who stands in his way. It was a miracle that the HyperTech Agency ever managed to successfully sedated and capture him for Task Force V.
 * Tom: Hey, if it makes you feel any better, I still get nightmares from you sometimes.
 * Windy Cloud: Who doesn't?
 * Grim Shadow: So, is that all, or is there anything else you needed to tell us?
 * Fearmaster: Yeah, we're waiting for our pay.
 * Alan: Oh, right. How could I forget? (grabs his phone and types some stuff in) ... five hundred dollars has been added to your accounts. Oh, and Miss Light. (reaches for the inside of his pocket) As a reward for exceptionally good behavior during your stay here, here's a little something extra. (gives Starshine her phone back)
 * Starshine: My phone! (grabs her phone) I thought I'd never see it again!
 * Grim Shadow: You'd better calm down your emotions. If Fred sees you too emotional about your phone, he'll destroy it just to see you cry.
 * Starshine: (puts her phone in her pocket, seeming frightened now)
 * ???: (demon-like) Well, it's not my fault to have been born as a demon of chaos and destruction, now is it?
 * Tom: Why can't we hire a priest to get that demon out of Oliver?
 * Fearmaster: Grim Shadow!
 * Tom: Hush now, Fearmaster.
 * Alan: Last time we tried to do that, we tried to cover his murder up by saying that the priest had a massive heart attack... An... Explosive one. (to the gang) If any of you plan to use the money you earned to buy some amenities, just ask the guards outside of your cell so they can contact me. That way, I can process and authorize the purchases you'll make. Understand?
 * Alan: Alright, guards. Take 'em back to their cells.
 * Guard 1: (holds onto his weapon and points to the exiting hallway) Alright. This way.
 * Windy Cloud: Actually, I want to buy something.
 * Alan: Oh, really? Stand down for a moment, guards. (approaches Windy Cloud and holds up his phone) What are you going to purchase today?
 * Windy Cloud: A laptop, please.
 * Alan: Okay, laptop, hmm... (checks on his phone) Well, you do have approximately twenty hundred dollars in your account, so such a purchase is possible. Lemme just finalize it and... Done. Your purchase is complete. Your laptop will be brought to your cell shortly. Now shoo.
 * Guard 1: C'mon now, Windy Cloud. Your cell is waiting.
 * Windy Cloud: Ok. Thanks! (goes with the guard to her cell)
 * Mailman: Package for a miss Windy Cloud!
 * Windy Cloud: Ooh, that's gotta be it!
 * Mailman: Sign here, please. (Windy Cloud signs the piece of paper. The mailman gives her the package) Have a nice day! (leaves)
 * Windy Cloud: Alright, here we go.
 * Windy Cloud: Perfect!
 * Fearmaster: Uh, Starshine? Why is Windy Cloud still using that laptop?
 * Starshine: No idea. If I had to guess, I'd say she's either really into social media, or she found an addictive game.
 * Fearmaster: Can you go check for me?
 * Starshine: Sure. Let me go see.
 * Windy Cloud: Oh... hi Starshine!
 * Starshine: Windy, what are you doing?
 * Windy Cloud: What are you talking about? I'm just enjoying this new laptop I got!
 * Starshine: Well, you've been using it for a long time, and we're starting to worry.
 * Windy Cloud: Pff, there's nothing to worry about. I'm just checking social media, that's all. Now go keep doing... uh... whatever you were doing before you came to talk to me.
 * Starshine: (rolls her eyes) Fine...
 * Starshine: She's acting a bit suspicious. As soon as she saw me coming, she closed her laptop. Also, she sounded like there was something she didn't want me to know.
 * Fearmaster: Interesting... She doesn't usually act like that.
 * Morning Glory: (jumps into the conversation) Doesn't usually act like what?
 * Starshine: It's about Windy Cloud. She's been acting kind of strange ever since she got that laptop.
 * Morning Glory: What's a laptop?
 * Fearmaster: Think of it like a mobile computer, Morning Glory.
 * Morning Glory: Oh, right! Like a mobile computer! ... I don't know what a computer is.
 * Fearmaster: (looks at Starshine)
 * Starshine: Have you been living under a rock or something?
 * Morning Glory: I've been the protector of Gaia's Creation! I don't know what how this human Gizmotology works!
 * Fearmaster: Technology.
 * Starshine: Anyway... the thing is, Windy Cloud seems to be hiding something.
 * Fearmaster: The main question is: what?
 * Morning Glory: Hmm... I have an idea to figure out what she's hidin'!
 * Morning Glory: (notices that she's on social media) ... I thought the ocean is already blue!
 * Windy Cloud: Huh? (looks around, and sees Morning Glory) What are you doing? (closes the laptop)
 * Morning Glory: That blue pony you were talking to on... (thinks for a moment) ... Fecebock?
 * Windy Cloud: It's called Facebook, Morning Glory.
 * Morning Glory: Yeah, Facebook! Um... Who was that? Oceanblue3000?
 * Windy Cloud: It was no one!
 * Morning Glory: It was no one? That's an interesting name. No One. How did you know?
 * Windy Cloud: That's not what I meant! (facepalms) Forget it... never mind...
 * Starshine: Enough mysteries. What are you up to, Windy Cloud?
 * Windy Cloud: Eesh! Can't a girl have a bit of privacy around here?
 * Fearmaster: You've been staring at that laptop screen for too long. What are you hiding?
 * Windy Cloud: (realizes Fearmaster is there) Gah! (realizes Fearmaster's question) I'm not hiding anything!
 * Windy Cloud: Ok, none of them will find me here.
 * Grim Shadow: Who's not going to find you?
 * Windy Cloud: AAGH! Grim Shadow! You scared me!
 * Grim Shadow: What are you hiding from?
 * Windy Cloud: The others, they're... wait a moment, aren't you with them?
 * Grim Shadow: About what?
 * Windy Cloud: They've been trying to see what I'm doing on my laptop! I mean, a girl needs privacy!
 * Grim Shadow: Are you doing anything bad with your laptop?
 * Windy Cloud: What!? No!
 * Grim Shadow: Then why are you hiding it?
 * Windy Cloud: Because it's something private! Aren't you going to help me out?
 * Grim Shadow: Why should I?
 * Windy Cloud: I'll... I'll sing for Fred every night for a month if you help me out!
 * ???: (demon-like voice) Not a bad offer, Oliver. You should consider it.
 * Grim Shadow: No. Now unless you're doing something you shouldn't be doing, you'll tell me what this is all about now.
 * Windy Cloud: I... uh... Look, over there! It's a light ninja!
 * Grim Shadow and ???: Where!? (look around)
 * Windy Cloud: Buh-bye! (flies away)
 * ???: (demon-like voice) Don't let her escape!
 * Grim Shadow: Meh, I'd rather not get involved with their shenanigans.
 * ???: (demon-like voice) Oh well...
 * Guard 1: (Sees Windy Cloud flying) Why is she constantly flying around like that?
 * Guard 2: Beats me.
 * Guard 1: Should we do something about it?
 * Guard 2: I don't think so. She doesn't seem to be doing anything malicious...
 * Windy Cloud: Ok, I think the coast is clear.
 * Fearmaster: Sheesh, what is so important to her that she refuses to let us know about it?
 * Morning Glory: I KNOW! I KNOW!
 * Starshine: Really? What is it?
 * Morning Glory: She's talking to a person that called... NO ONE!
 * Fearmaster: ... Really?
 * Morning Glory: Really! Well, I mean that person does have a social media account, but Windy Cloud said that the person's real name is No One!
 * Starshine: (facepalms) Wait... do you know what that person's social media account is? If we know what his or her social media account is named, we might figure out who Windy Cloud has been chatting with.
 * Morning Glory: Yes, I do!
 * Fearmaster: Then what is it?!
 * Morning Glory: I think it's... Oceanblue3000.
 * Starshine: Oceanblue3000... wait a moment, that sounds very much like the name of that blue pony from the Red Crystals, Blue Ocean, if I remember correctly.
 * Fearmaster: Waaait a moment... If we count the possibility that she mainly uses her laptop to search up Blue Ocean's account... Does that mean that she likes him?
 * Morning Glory: As a friend?
 * Fearmaster: No. Like, LIKE-like.
 * Starshine: Now that I think of it, she did act kind of weird about Blue Ocean last time we encountered the Red Crystals.
 * Fearmaster: (looks at Windy Cloud) Hmmm...
 * Fearmaster: Hello, buddy. (Sees her getting ready to close her laptop) Oh, no-no-no-no. Please. You don't need to hide it. I'm sure we've figured out your lil' secret.
 * Windy Cloud: (blushes) Wait, what secret!? I don't have any secret! What makes you think I have a secret?
 * Fearmaster: You're in love with someone, aren't you? Someone a little bluey. Has affiliation with the ocean?
 * Windy Cloud: (blushes) But... but... but...
 * Fearmaster: Hehehehe... Well, now. Looks like we have someone who's interested with a hero, huh?
 * Morning Glory: (pops up behind Fearmaster) YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH BLUE OCEAN, AREN'T YA?!
 * Windy Cloud: (blushes even more) What!? I... Uh... I... (seems embarrassed) I don't want to talk about any of this!
 * Fearmaster: What? A little Philophobic, are we?
 * Windy Cloud: What!? I'm not philophobic! Look, this is simply a topic I won't discuss. That's all there is to it.
 * Starshine: Come on, Windy Cloud, you don't have to be afraid of telling us these kinds of things.
 * Windy Cloud: I'm not afraid! I just want to have a bit of privacy!
 * Guard 1: (approaches the group) Alright, what's going on here?
 * Morning Glory: Windy Cloud is in love with someone!
 * Windy Cloud: (blushes) Hey, don't any of you know the definition of private!?
 * Guard 1: That's enough outta you three! This is a prison, not elementary school!
 * Morning Glory: But-
 * Guard 1: No buts! Now leave her alone or face the consequences!
 * Fearmaster: Fine. (leaves)
 * Starshine: Alright... (leaves)
 * Grim Shadow: See Fred? I told you it was best for us not to get involved.
 * ???: (demon-like voice) I guess you're right.
 * Windy Cloud: Phew, now that's a relief.
 * Guard 1: You are welcome, by the way. One question, if I may?
 * Windy Cloud: Yes?
 * Guard 1: Who was the person you were in loved with?
 * Windy Cloud: Well, now I can finally return to what I was doing. (opens her laptop, and her eyes shine as she sees a photo of Blue Ocean on his profile picture) Oh, Blue Ocean... you're so smart, so handsome, so great! You deserve to be the leader of the Red Crystals much more than that fat red pony Red Fork... (gets a message from Oceanblue3000) Oh, he's messaged me. Ok, I've got to act cool. The last thing I need is more people discovering my little secret.
 * Alan: That is her little secret?
 * Zoey: Appears so, Mr. Robertson. Ever since Windy Cloud purchased that laptop, a rumor brewed in the prison about Windy Cloud having romantic relations with Red Crystals member Blue Ocean.
 * Alan: I see. Kinda forgot about the Red Crystals. We still need to eliminate them.
 * Zoey: Yes, but we got more important matters...
 * Zoey: Boss...? Boss?
 * Alan: H-Huh? Oh, right. But first... I need to talk to Windy Cloud.
 * Zoey: (surprised) Talk to Windy Cloud? Like, an actual conversation?
 * Alan: Yes.
 * Zoey: That's new. Okay, sir. We'll arrange a meeting.
 * Windy Cloud: (seeing Blue Ocean's pictures from his Facebook account) Oh, Blue Ocean...
 * Guard 1: Come with us, Windy Cloud.
 * Windy Cloud: Huh? (goes with the guards) This is odd. It's not time for our meals, and it's not recreation time either.
 * Alan: Hello, Windy Cloud. Please, have a seat.
 * Windy Cloud: (gets nervous, and takes a seat) Am I in trouble?
 * Alan: I wouldn't say you are in trouble, per se. We've been receiving some rumors about you... And I must ask...
 * Alan: ... Why haven't you admitted your feelings for Blue Ocean yet?
 * Windy Cloud: Well... I... uh... you see... um... I... uh... well... the thing is... uh... um...
 * Alan: Okay, okay, calm down, Windy Cloud. No need to panic. I'm not judging you. Believe me. I've dealt with love before myself.
 * Windy Cloud: Really?
 * Alan: Yeah! I know a thing or two about dating people. I managed to date a tough bully back in school, with nothing but skill and perseverance!
 * Windy Cloud: Really? Wait... you're willing to help me?
 * Alan: Of course, I am. Me hearing about your love struggle with Blue Ocean brought me with some warm memories, so I'm feeling generous.
 * Windy Cloud: I see... So, what would you recommend?
 * Alan: Well, I'd tell you to be yourself, but since I've had you imprisoned here and you don't normally talk with the crystals, try giving Blue Ocean some hints about your love with him. If you're lucky enough, it'll work like a charm.
 * Windy Cloud: I guess I could try... thanks, by the way. I never imagined you'd be giving me advice for my personal life.
 * Alan: Oh, we've all have our secrets. Don't mention it... Seriously, don't. Reputation, you know - "A lifetime to build, seconds to destroy".
 * Windy Cloud: Don't worry, I won't. I owe it to you, after all.
 * Alan: (nods) ... Alright, guards, I'm done.
 * Fearmaster: Hey, what happened over 'here, Windy Cloud?
 * Windy Cloud: Uh... (blushes) It's got nothing to do with you! Now if you excuse me, I'm heading back to my cell.
 * Fearmaster: Alright, jeez. No need to be a sourpuss.
 * Windy Cloud: Ok, I've got to do what he told me. Give him hints. Who knows, maybe Blue Ocean will notice me after all!
 * Tom: Seriously, Mr. Robertson. You GOT to tell me about that meeting!
 * Alan: My conference with Windy Cloud is none of your concern.
 * Tom: None of my concer- but boss! We could use this to our advantage! We can-
 * Alan: Bronze "Tom" Cog, we will NOT be using Windy Cloud's romantic affection towards Blue Ocean to our advantage. It is immoral by my standards.
 * Tom: Wait. Are you trying to tell me that in this powerful corporation, we create and manufactured advanced weapons and technology to everyone around the globe, regardless of their moral alignment, capture villains around the world to force them to serve us or face death, and kill anybody who knows even a FRACTION of the agency, but YOU, Mister Alan Robertson, are above using Windy Cloud's love for Blue Ocean to our advantage?
 * Alan: Yes. This discussion has been closed.
 * Tom: BOSS, THIS IS STU-!
 * Alan: THIS DISCUSSION HAS BEEN CLOSED, TOM. We will NOT talk about any further. Do I make myself clear?
 * Tom: ... Yes, Mr. Robertson.
 * Alan: Are you sure?
 * Tom: Yes, Mr. Robertson.
 * Tom: (mocking Alan's voice) "... We will NOT be using Windy Cloud's romantic affection towards Blue Ocean to our advanta-" "It is immoral by my stan-" those are some pretty doo-doo dumb standards! I can't believe he went against my idea of using her love to our advantage. What even IS his problem?! ... You know what? Forget his orders. I'm doing what is right to HyperTech.
 * Windy Cloud: (blushing) What should I tell him? What should I tell him? Hm... I've got it! (types something) Wait, no, that's not good. (deletes it) What about this? (types something) No, no, no, I can't tell him that. (deletes) I've got to decide soon. I don't want to seem insecure. Hm... how about? (types something) Ok, I think that's what I'll say, then. Send! (sends the message) Ok, now to wait for his response. (waits as she sees that Blue Ocean has already seen her message) Oh, what's taking him so long? (sees that Blue Ocean is typing) Oh, ok, he's already typing back.
 * Windy Cloud: What? Oh, come on! Why now of all times? (becomes drowsy and falls asleep)
 * Tom: Wake up. I said wake up.
 * Windy Cloud: Huh? Oh, it's you, Bronze Cog.
 * Tom: Oh, my Celes- IT'S TOM! (sighs) Anyhow, I'm pretty sure you know why you're here, correct?
 * Windy Cloud: Yeah, I know. What's the mission this time?
 * Tom: The mission, in general, is simple: there is an individual out there that knows about the HyperTech Agency's existence and will likely expose us into the public, risking our practices to be disrupted by government/hero intervention. You will find the individual and terminate them. However, this time around, this mission as a couple of important factors that you will need to know.
