Well, you’re right on time!

Well, it’s important for a hero to be able to show up whenever they’re needed!

...What he said!

Well, I appreciate you not making us wait...

...or go looking for you.

So, you said we could invite any guests we wanted, right?

Yeah, did you have any in mind?

Yeah, I brought this transceiver so I could communicate with everyone back home!

Can you hear me, Bomberman Bros.?

Loud and clear!

Oh, hi, White!

And everyone!

You two are lucky, you get an exclusive interview with the one and only Black Bomber!

Heehee!

This tournament is so exciting!

Yes, but to be clear, there’s...

...no actual fighting in it, is there?

I can’t stand violence!

Let’s jus’ get this interview over with, I havn’t slept in...

...two hours...

Yeah!

The sooner we get this interview done, the sooner we all get that Burger King White promised us!

H-hey, wait, I didn’t-

Okay, I’m gonna stop you there for a second.

Seven?

You brought seven guests?!

Oh boy, this is gonna be hard to follow…

Yeah, I know I did say any guests you wanted, but this is ridiculous!

Hey, what’s wrong with us?!

Yeah, we’re the stars of the show!

Ah, look, I’m sorry guys.

They just really wanted to see some of the tournament with me, and I thought it’d be cool if I let them participate in this too.

Well...

...it’s alright.

As long as there isn’t any more of them, we can probably still...

...make do.

…

What’s up?

No, don’t tell me…

I’m sorry, I just really missed them, okay?

Heeeey everyone!

Oh wow, we’re really on!

Hardly any latency either, I’m proud.

Yay, we’re here.

Hey everyone.

Oh, I just know you two can do it!

Yeah!

You guys get out there and win this thing!

U-uh, heh, why are you hiding behind me, Artemis?

Ah, s-sorry!

I’m just-

...nervous, so many new people…

Alright.

Well, no problem!

Thanks, guys, all of you.

…

…

...This is gonna be a mess.

Wait...

...uh, you, th’ blue one.

Huh?

No, the...

...other one, sorry.

Meh.

Yes, what is up?

So, you made this call thing?

That is correct!

You’ve-

yawn

...You gotta tell me how it works.

Oh, you are interested?

I would love to!

There he goes again.

It’s kinda cute how passionate he is about this stuff!

That’s our Operon, alright.

Yeah, Blue’s actually really savvy with that stuff too!

I don’t often see him this motivated, though.

Or, really, motivated at all.

Heh, that’s pretty much Kronos.

We love him though.

Okay.

Well, hey, why don’t we do some ice-breakers together?

Y’know, get to know each other’s beautiful selves?

Yeah!

Breaking stuff!

Now we’re talkin’!

I’d love to!

...Okay, well, how about this.

You two can leave those transceivers over in the back room over there for a bit while all of them get acquainted, and we can have a bit more of a normal interview for a while.

Ah, okay!

Yeah, I think that’s alright!

So, the first thing I wanted to ask you about was how you two get along together, your opponents...

...certainly don’t have the kind of cooperation you two seem to.

Oh, since the first time I heard about Bomberman I’ve always looked up to him!

It’s really amazing how many adventures he’s gone on, and he’s saved the day every time!

I really only ever had my one moment, my main goal right now is to-

Blow up?

What, no!

I mean, uh, kinda, I guess, I meant to be more like Bomberman.

Hey, don’t discredit yourself!

That was still super brave of you given nothing like that had ever happened before, and you did it all alone!

I wouldn’t say you’re any less of a hero than I am.

And, honestly, I don’t know if you really want to have world-threatening guys just popping up all the time.

Aw, you’re too nice!

Plus, you seem to get along really well with all of your pals over there, too.

I have trouble keeping all of my Bomberman Bros. in check sometimes.

Well, they’re all really nice too!

Anyways, I just hope we can win you and I some more recognition, finally!

Okay, wow, yeah, I think these two would take a bullet for each other, honestly.

Like, from Cirno, maybe?

...Amazing segway.

Thank you!

...so, how do you two feel about your first round opponents?

They make me kinda uncomfortable, honestly.

I don’t know much about Cirno, but Inky is...

...weird, and the other one, brrrr.

I don’t like thinking about it.

Yeah, I don’t really like her either!

Turning cute mascots into...

...people like that, it’s just creepy!

...Yeah…

Yeah, FUCK those three!

W-WHAT WAS THAT, GREEN?!

You can’t just say stuff like that!

But this tournament isn’t E rated, right?

Well, yeah, but you’re still just a kid!

And how did you even overhear us?!

Not telling!

Okay, well, just one more question from the two of you, and it’s a highly requested one: Are you two space criminals?

Huh?

What, is that a joke?

Like, ‘cuz I’ve got bombs or something?

We aren’t, okay?

Yeah, we’re heroes!

We’d only ever fight evil, of course!

What he said.

Well, you’ve heard it here first, folks.

Apparently.

Well, that’s all we’ve got, thank you two for the interview!

Now you two can go back to talking with your brothers, or friends, or whatever?

I don’t really know.

We will, thank you!

Yeah.

Watch out, everyone, we’re gonna blow you all away!

...No?

Too cheesy?

I thought it was good!
