Speaker	Dialogue
Enid is sitting at the counter of Gar’s, Enid sighs, scrolls through social media on her phone.
Enid	Man, Red Action’s way too cool for 201X. Why would she come all the way from the future to hang out in this dumb plaza? Bet the future’s got cooler food, cooler hangouts, cooler...girls?
Enid zooms in on a picture of Red Action with an unknown girl. A notification pops up that reads “1 NEW PHOTO”. Enid clicks it and a new image appears, showing Red Action taking a selfie with Enid in the background.
Enid	Heh. Enid, as if she’d ever wanna hang out with you. W-wait, what?! H-how? Why?
Red Action	Heya!
Title card appears.
Red Action	Hey, Enid.
Enid	U-uh, w-welcome, t-to, G-Gar-
Red Action	Oh, gimme one of these gum things. Thanks. Uh, so, I’m hangin’ out around the parking lot today, and all my friends bailed on me, sooo…
Enid	Are you...asking me to hang out?
Red Action blows a raspberry.
Red Action	It’s...an option. I mean, do whatever you want…
Red Action flicks a Techno into Enid’s hand.
Red Action	Either way, I’ll be around.
Red Action exits the store.
Enid	Oookay, what was that about?
K.O. pops out from behind the counter.
K.O.	Red Action!! A rogue warrior from the future, wants to hang out with you!
Enid	I barely know her, she’s probably just messing with me. Hey, she didn’t even take her gum!
Cuts to Enid outside Gar’s.
Enid	Hey Red, I brought your-
Enid bumps into Red Action.
Enid	Guh!
Red Action	Hey.
Red Action blows a bubble.
Enid	Your gum. But you left-
Enid looks at her hand, which is now empty.
Enid	How-?
Red Action chuckles.
Enid	Oh. Okay! Well, uh, so what did you wanna do first? Arcade, or…?
Red Action	Actually, I was just gonna go for a ride. You know, nothin’ big.
Enid giggles nervously.
Enid	Where are you parked?
Red Action	Turn around. Actually, can you cover your ears too?
Enid	Okay! This is fun!
Red Action looks side to side, making sure nobody is around.
Red Action	Red! Action! Hovertank, goooo!
A futuristic vehicle drops from the sky.
Enid	Um, okay. I think I’m gonna turn around. Dang!! Does everyone in the future have stuff like this?
Red Action	Nope, just me, haha! C’mon.
Enid	So, like, where we gonna go, anyway?
Red Action	Hm, you seem like a girl who likes thrills.
Enid	Ohohoho, heck yeah! Thrills are the best!
Red Action	How ‘bout we cruise through the Danger Zone?
Enid	The Danger Zone?!
Red Action speeds off.
Enid	Uh, heh. So, why’d you travel from 301X to our time, anyway?
Red Action	Enough questions. Let’s liiive!!
Enid	Ahaha, this place rules! Danger Zone, pff.
Enid begins unbuckling her seatbelt.
Enid	Danger, heh.
Red Action	Keep your seatbelt on though, obvs.
Enid	Oh. Right, right. Wow! Hey, what’s with all the nautical stuff?
Red Action	Uh, previous owner.
Enid	Is like, sea-themed stuff big in the future or someth- Augh! What the heck?
Red Action veers onto a narrow, winding road.
Enid	Where are we now?
Red Action	Pop your head out the top there.
Enid	Wow. This is incredible! It’s like a permanent thunderstorm!
Red Action	That’s exactly what it is! I love coming here! The air is-
Red Action gets shocked by a lightning bolt.
Enid	Electric?
Red Action	You said it!
Enid and Red Action laughs.
Enid	I think I saw your skeleton, dude! Ahahaha!
An alarm goes off in the Hovertank.
Red Action	Quick, back in the tank!
Enid	What’s wrong?
Red Action	Radars, pickin’ up hostiles. Could be cybermutts, growlers, anything! Brace yourself!
Four vehicles appear from a portal.
Red Action	Oh, no!
Female voice	Hue Troopers, go!!
Trooper 1	Red Action, we’ve come from the future to arrest you! Read ‘er the charges.
Trooper 2	Two counts of time shenanigans.
Trooper 3	And betraying your friends!
Trooper 4	That’s us! Green Guts!
Trooper 2	Black Strategy.
Trooper 3	And Yellow Technique!
Trooper 1	Blue Power! The Hue Troop, it’s ‘hue’ we are.
Enid	What the heck is this?
Red Action	Uh, ro...per...road performance artists! Hahah, they’re everywhere in the Danger Zone. You just gotta ram past ‘em. Raahhh!
Green Guts	We weren’t finished!
Blue Power	Unfortunate.
Green Guts	You crum-bum!
Yellow Technique	Are we even sure that was her?
Black Strategy	Extensive mods have been made to the angler tank, but there’s no mistaking that energy signature.
Green Guts	She’s getting away, ya hosers!
Blue Power	Hue Troop! Let’s roll.
Enid	That was...something!
Red Action	Forget about it, we’ve got cooler things to do. Urgh, no!
Enid	What is it?
Red Action	It’s those future dweeb- ah! Those performance artists.
Blue Power	Pull over, Red. Don’t make us whomp ya.
Red Action	You wanna go, slappy? Let’s go!
Green Guts	Cute, but you can’t escape the Uniscallop that easy! Stop running!
Red Action	Ever fired a rail cannon?
Enid	What? No!
Red Action	Come on, you’ll love it!
Enid	You’re lucky I don’t get performance art.
Green Guts	Crum-bums!
Blue Power	There’s no escaping us, Red!
Black Strategy	You must return to 301X. Your aim is predictable.
Yellow Technique	The jig is up, matey!
Enid	Uh, Red?
Red Action	Hold your fire! Adjust 90 degrees! Let ‘er rip!!
Enid	Hoo, okay, that was fun. But it also seemed...super personal? What aren’t you telling me?
Red Action	Nothing, it’s just-
Red Action sighs.
Red Action	Alright, E, I’ll level with ya. A long time ago, a meteor crashed on Earth. Inside was the legendary Prism Crystal. A hero discovered its holographic link to the alien Ren Bo, who had the power to predict catastrophes. That hero became the first Hue Trooper. With Ren Bo’s guidance they assembled a team to prevent the disasters she foretold. As time went on, they kept the Hue Troop alive, passing the Crystal down to new teams. Until my generation. I kind of...accidentally destroyed the Crystal in the future...so now I’m here, on the run from my own team.
Enid	Red, why didn’t you tell me? Space crystals, prophecies, that’s incredible! You’re incredible!
Red Action	I’m not incredible! The Hue Troopers are all like cheesy poses, and like, weird helmets. I’m supposed to take orders from a rock, and I broke it! I’m not like you!
Enid	Wha-?
Red Action	You’ve got your own moves, your own style! You don’t follow anyone. Heh, I never had the nerve to comment on any of your pictures. Deep down, I wanted to hang out with the coolest person in 201X before I got dragged back to the future. But I dunno if I can keep running.
Enid	You’re right. You can’t. So let’s beat ‘em.
Red Action	Huh?
Enid	No matter what you did in the future, Red, right now we’re just two cool people hangin’ out! And if the Hue Troopers won’t leave us alone, we’ll just have to make ‘em!
Yellow Technique	How bold. You always wanna do things the hard way!
Red Action	Uh...uh...nah. I think you clowns are gonna be a piece of cake.
Hue Troopers gasps.
Yellow Technique	Hue Troop! Let’s end this!
Red Action deploys her arm cannons.
Enid	Nice!
Red Action	Right?
They begin to fight, and Red Action knocks down Green Guts.
Yellow Technique	Green!
Yellow Technique turns to Red Action.
Yellow Technique	Traitor.
Everyone looks up as an orb begins to descend from a hole in the sky.
Yellow Technique	What the…? Hue Troop, retreat!
Enid	Red, is that the meteor from your story?
Red Action	Eh, it can’t be that meteor. That happened a long time ago, remember?
Enid	Red, I’m really sorry that I have to say this, but you’re from the future. This is a long time ago!
Red Action	Oh, nuts!
Enid	C’mon, let’s get outta here!
The meteor lands.
Blue Power	Everyone alive?
Yellow Technique	Think so.
Enid	Red. Red? Red?! Red!
Red Action	Augh. Careful with the goods!
Enid	What?
Red Action	Sha-bam!
Red Action opens her hand to reveal the Prism Crystal. The Hue Troopers gasp.
Red Action	Just an ultra-powerful crystal, no big!
Enid	Wow…
Yellow Technique	I get it now. So this is why you escaped to the past! You’ve been searching history for the time when the meteor crashed to atone for breaking the crystal.
Blue Power	I knew you didn’t betray us.
Black Strategy	You can come back to the future now.
Green Guts	So how’d you know 201X was the right year?
Red Action	Ha! Heh, how, you ask? Well, if you must know, I...I didn’t figure anything out. I got lucky. Sorry, guys. I thought my mistakes would vanish if I kept running, but they were just getting worse. I wouldn’t have noticed that without Enid here! I think 201X is pretty cool, so I’m gonna stick around for a while.
Red Action tosses the Crystal to Yellow.
Yellow Technique	201X, huh?
Red Action	Ha, I know, right? It’s not so terrible here.
Enid	Nice meeting you!
Black Strategy	You, too!
Green Guts	Come visit sometime!
Blue Power	You fight good! Hue Troop, let’s go home.
Green Guts	Yeah. What a crazy day!
Yellow Technique	Red’s changed.
Black Strategy opens a portal.
Black Strategy	Yellow, time capsule’s up.
Yellow Technique	Coming!
The Hue Troop exit through the portal. Cut to Red and Enid in the Hovertank.
Red Action	Let’s see, I got you chased through the Danger Zone, attacked by my teammates, hit by a meteor; I think it’s fair to say this day was a bust, wouldn’t you?
Enid	Hey, you said I was a thrill-seeker. I was very thrilled. But if you really wanna make it up to me, let’s go volcano surfing!!
Red Action	I don’t even know what that is! Haha, let’s liiive!!
The episode ends.
