We've got trouble, everyone!

Is it poop?!

Huh?

Why would it be poop, Sat-chan?

I was joking.

Anyway, Yui...

I found these on the ground!

Weird glasses!

What the heck?

No, I mean!

There's trouble! It's a panda-

I mean, a cat!

There's a cat that looks like a panda!

Come on, would you take this seriously?

You, too, Kotoha!

But that's not trouble at all.

Listen, Yui!

We are the Colors - we keep the peace in our town!

Don't you have any bigger cases for us, Leader?

A cat!

There's a cat that looks like a panda!

Okay, okay, fine.

Draw a picture so we can see what it looks like.

Okay!

Done!

Look at this, Sat-chan.

Let's see here.

I-it's a monster!

A complete and utter monster!

Isn't it exciting?

It's beyond exciting!

We're gonna kill it?

N-no, we can't kill it!

But monsters like this need to be killed hard.

So can we capture it, Leader?

Yes, that! Let's do that!

Okay!

Operation Catch the Monster Cat...

is a go!

Yeah!

Haven't seen a monster like this.

And hey, I know you need information,

but it's cheating to go to the police for help with your pretend hero games, you know.

It's not "pretend," Saito.

You don't know anything, Saito.

Shut up, you snot-nosed brats!

I'm busy here!

I don't have time to play along with your little games, so...

leave...

me...

alone!

I'm sorry.

She's the only decent kid of the bunch.

That actually makes this harder.

I haven't seen a monster like your drawing.

But I do have information about a cat that looks like a panda.

Really?!

Lately, a lot of people are coming in...

To report a panda-like cat stealing their stuff.

In other words, it's a cat burglar.

And so, if you can catch it...

it might lead to keeping the peace in our town.

A cat burglar!

This is a real case!

Note: Ameyoko Shopping Street - the market street of Ueno. Okay, first, let's search Shopping Street!

It's probably vicious. We'll have to be careful.

Saito!

Huh?

Well done.

Thanks.

Ameyoko

Hello? Cat burglar!

Monster, where are you?

Specializing in Full Body Massage 2,900 Yen / Hour Get out here, you monster cat!

Underground Food Area

We can't find it anywhere.

What are you doing? You're supposed to follow me!

Huh? But what are YOU doing?

Well, you see, I'm going down to the cat's eye level to make my sear-

Koto-chan, Koto-chan! You're stepping on me!

I know.

I guess you would!

I've always wanted to try this.

You're too twisted!

All those video games you're always playing are warping your personality!

Don't talk like games are a bad influence.

I have always been like this.

That's even worse!

Sat-chan, Kotoha! Look!

Weird glasses...

They're creepy!

Hey, Colors!

What do you think of these glasses? Cool, right?

They're just like the ones I found at our hideout!

Hey, you're right - they are!

Pops!

By any chance, were a pair of those glasses stolen by a panda-like cat?

Wow, Koto-chan. You're well informed.

That's right. That cat sure is a menace!

Really.

I've got it.

What did you get?

Kotoha?

I've beat this game!

Wow, you're a really bad artist.

You actually caught him.

You know what? Something he stole was in our hideout!

So Kotoha thought maybe the cat was living in our hideout, too!

So we followed that theory and had a stakeout!

And you caught him...

Alright, then, girls. You keep him.

What?!

If you hand him over to me, he'll have to leave our town forever.

But...

Looks like he's pretty attached to you already.

So train him. Make sure he doesn't cause any trouble.

Cats are citizens of our town, too, aren't they?

And what is your mission again?

To keep the peace of our town!

And its animals!

That's right! That's what I always thought!

Me, too!

I wanted to kill it, though.

So what do we do? Take it back to the hideout and...

Instead of killing it, we'll train it to be a professional killer.

First we need to name it!

Too easy.

One less thing for me to do.

So you'll be paying for its food.

Thank you, Saito-san!

Well done!

What?!

Oh, Colonel Monochrome! Welcome home!

Annoying little punks Ah, too cute!

What is it, Colonel?

Are you stealing again?

Sheesh.

The belly band from a manga?

Bring me something better.

Like a weapon or something.

Understand?

Here, Colonel!

I have some food!

Whoa, Colonel!

You must've been hungry!

Well take your time, and eat all you want!

What is it, Colonel?

There you go.

A purr-fectly lazy kitty.

Colonel Monochrome really likes people, huh?

Isn't there anything?

Yui, whatcha looking for?

Well, the Colonel needs...

Um...

We are Colors!

Defenders of this town!

Sir!

This is to keep the peace.

Saito. You've gotten too corrupt.

Consider this unavoidable.

Hence the rocket launcher?

Saito! You need to explode! For the world's sake!

Yeah, okay.

Where did you get that, anyway?

It's probably just a replica.

Freeze! Move and we'll shoot!

Fire!

Seriously?

What's wrong, Kotoha?

It won't fire.

It must be a fake.

A fake?!

Aw, man, a fake?

Ugh.

Curse that Pops.

But what a relief.

This isn't a relief!

We can't blow him up with a fake.

I'm glad it was a fake.

A real explosion would be dangerous!

So they DID get this from Pops' shop. A real explosion would be dangerous!

So they DID get this from Pops' shop.

So they DID get this from Pops' shop. Pops lied to us.

Yeah, we were tricked!

That old man has everything. Yeah, we were tricked!

Yeah, we were tricked!

What? No!

Girls!

Let me show you something.

Things like this have something called a "safety."

A "safety"?

If you don't switch it off, the ammo won't fire.

Oh, I see! So that's why!

Okay, now give it back!

Don't be stupid!

You snot-nosed brats think I'd actually give it back to you?!

The tables have been turned!

I'm gonna blow you to smithereens!
