The following is the script of dialogue used in the Blade Quest Shiny New Power.

Shady letter

Tora

Dadapon! Tora is here!
Dadapon said he got letter for Tora?

Tatazo

That right!
Very strange letter, meh... No name of sender!

Tora

Shady-shady...

Tatazo

Letter inside even more shady! Look.

Tora

Hmm...
"Dear...Tora..."
Handwriting so terrible that Tora lost interest in reading.

Tatazo

Whoever wrote this definitely few Nopon doubloons short of hoard. But Tatazo advise read on.

Tora

OK, Dadapon.
"Dear Tora,"
"Gather following...data of Blades..."
"and input...into Poopi." Tora guess that mean Poppi.
"Then go to...Bulge Harbor..." Tora think it say Bulge Harbor, anyway.
"In Mor Ardain."

Nia

Well, that's definitely mysterious.

Rex

Do you have any idea who it might be from, Tora?

Mòrag

No sender... Perhaps a friend?

Tora

Tora have no friends with such sloppy handwriting!
But must be someone Tora know. They know all about Tora and Poopi. Poppi.

Poppi α

Masterpon is interested in who it is?

Tora

Of course Tora interested!

Rex

Well then, why don't we just try doing what the letter says?

Tora

Really? Is that OK?

Rex

Of course, Tora!
I'm sure gathering this Blade data it mentions will be no trouble if we all pitch in!

Mòrag

I wouldn't make any promises until we hear what the extent of our task is.

Tora

*sigh* OK, Tora will endure more terrible handwriting to read details to friends.
"From plain Ether Cannon-using girl Blade, data on Beam Barrage Special."
"From plain Knuckle Claw-using boy Blade, data on Assault Rush Specials."
"From plain Twin Rings-using doggy Blade, data on Dual Fang Special."
"From plain Greataxe-using boy Blade, data on Axe Throw Special."
"From plain Shield Hammer-using girl Blade, data on Aerial Shield Special."
"From plain Bitball-using girl Blade, data on Flash Bomb Special."
"From plain Megalance-using giant Blade, data on Beam Halberd Special."
"From plain Chroma Katana-using boy Blade, data on Multi-Raid Special."
It say we need all those 8 pieces of data.

Rex

Phew, tall order.

Tora

But Rex-Rex promised!

Rex

*groan*
No, it's fine. We'll do it! Piece of cake!

Tora

Yay! Rex-Rex is hero among men-men!

Mòrag

Don't worry, Rex.
The rest of us shall lend our assistance.

Tora

Mòrag is also hero among men-men! With friends helping, task should be easy-peasy lemon squeezy.

Mòrag

...among whom?

Nia

Uh, right then, shall we get gatherin'?
When we're done we have to head to Bulge Harbor, right?

Tora

That what letter say. Task is many so Tora divvy them up into smaller bunches. We do in order!
OK Dadapon, we get going.

Tatazo

Don't know what kind of strange Nopon wait at end of quest, so must be careful.

Go to Bulge Harbor

Rex

What kind of a person would stand around waiting in a place like this?

Mòrag

All of Bana's accomplices were rounded up, but this stinks of his handiwork.

Nia

That letter was suspicious, all right.

Poppi α

Poppi hate to say it, but this feel like trap.

???

I been waiting for this moment, Tora.

Tora

Who that?

???

Meh-ho-hoo!

The scene fades to black.

???

Hup!

The scene fades in again. The Nopon, that was previously on a crate, jumped down in front of the party.

???

M...my back...

Tora

Who you? Why you send Tora letter? Why you want Blade data?

???

Tora, dear littlepon. You not recognise me?

Tora

?

Soosoo

I Soosoo. Grampypon of Tora!

Tora

...

Soosoo

...

Tora

Pull other wing, it got bells on.

Soosoo

Meh meh?
D-did Tora forget voice and face of old Grampypon?

Tora

You look similar but there no way you the real deal!
Grampypon was killed by Muimui!

Soosoo

Meh meh meh?
Tora not believe me...sad day indeed. Feels like Soosoo might faint.

Rex

Tora... Are you sure this isn't your grandad?

Tora

Grampypon is dead as doornail. Besides, Grampypon better at writing than this imposter.

Soosoo

That sad effect of injury from Muimui. Limbs no longer move with grace of younger years.

Tora

... ...

Poppi α

Plausibility level of story increased to unexpected levels.

Tora

Tora still not believe.
First Dadapon alive, now somehow Grampypon alive too? Life not that easy or convenient!

Soosoo

Meh meh...
There nothing for it.
This risky move but Tora has forced my hand. There is proof that Soosoo who he say he is.

Tora

What proof?

Soosoo

Search in roots of Saffronia tree in Gwenith Paddies, near Urayan capital Fonsa Myma.
What you dig up there will prove that I telling the truth.

Rex

It seems like the only way. Shall we head there, Tora?

Tora

...

Poppi α

Masterpon, let's go!

Tora

Fine.
But... If this "proof" no good for convince us, we not come back here!

Soosoo

That OK!
Take care, Tora...

Try to dig up thing hidden beneath Saffronia tree

Rex

Tora, what's inside?!

Tora

T-Tora cannot show!
It very top-secret information! If Rex-Rex see, his head explode.

Nia

What are you blathering about? Just show us already.

Tora

No, Tora cannot!
This is special book of Grampypon.
Grampypon, Dadapon and Tora used it as design bible for making of artificial Blades.

Rex

Poppi and Lila's designs, eh...

Mòrag

If that book influenced your designs, I'm not sure I want to see what's inside.

Nia

Yeah, let's not dwell on that. Anyway, this means that Nopon is really your grampy- your grandad!

Tora

Meh meh!
That true!
This book very precious to Grampypon. He spend many hours locked in room with it...
Presence of book means that definitely Tora's Grampypon Soosoo!
Grampypon is alive!

Poppi α

Masterpon, let's go back to Bulge Harbor right away!

Tora

Yes! Grampypon is waiting!

Report back to Grampypon Soosoo

Soosoo

Tora. It look like you found what I hoped.
Now do you believe me?

Tora

...

Soosoo

What wrong, Tora?
Did Tora forget bygone days when we worked together so passionately with Sonnypon Tatazo?

Tora

Tora not forget!
You real Grampypon Soosoo!

Soosoo

Meh meh! Toraaa!
You real biggipon now, Tora.
Taller than Soosoo!

Tora

Thanks to eat Tasty Sausage every day!

Soosoo

Tasty Sausage...every day... Ew.
Anyway, that enough reunioning.
There special important task to do.
Did Tora input Blade data into Poppi like Soosoo write in letter?

Tora

Yes! With help from friends, Tora collected all data.
But why Grampypon need such battle data?

Soosoo

It for benefit friends of Tora.

Tora

But how it help Rex-Rex...?

Soosoo

Poppi, please come with Soosoo!

Poppi α

Masterpon, permission to go...?

Tora

It OK, Poppi. Follow Grampypon!

Poppi α

Understood. If situation become uncomfortable, Poppi will activate Stranger Danger protocol immediately.

Soosoo

Why assume such thing of Grampypon?!

The scene fades to black for a moment. When it fades in again, Soosoo went away with Poppi.

Nia

Is Poppi really gonna be OK...?

Tora

Tora have no idea what big idea is. But Tora trust Grampypon. Hope that is not big mistake...

Mòrag

Knowing what I do of your grandfather's proclivities, Tora...perhaps you are right to doubt...

He's a PB

The party is waiting around at Bulge Harbor.

Poppi α

Everyone. Sorry to keep friends waiting.

A differently colored Poppi arrives.

Tora

Poppi... What in Alrest Grampypon Soosoo do...?

The party is taken aback by Poppi's change in style.

Nia

Some kinda...new paint job?!

Rex

She's got antennae now?!

Tora

He make modifications?!

Poppi Mk. II

Negative. This Poppi is Poppi Mk. II. Is great honor to meet friends of Professor.

Rex

Huh? He's made a second Poppi?!

Soosoo's laughter can be heard before he's shown next to Poppi Mk. II, to his right, and Poppi, to his left.

Soosoo

That not quite right...

Poppi α

Poppi Mk. II operate under remote control of Poppi.

Soosoo

Exactly. Poppi Mk. II have no will of her own.
Poppi do steering, and play Poppi voice through clever speaker system.

Poppi turns around and lifts her left arm to around her mouth.

Poppi Mk. II

This function open world of possibility, like fresh new improv routine where Poppi play off of Poppi.

Poppi α

Shall Poppi demonstrate?

Mòrag

That sounds fascinating... But perhaps best left for another time.

Tora

So Grampypon want Rex-Rex and friends to also have Poppi they can use...
and that why make Poppi Mk. II?

Rex

Wow... We'd be pretty unstoppable with another Poppi by our side!

The professor laughs some more.

Soosoo

Friends still thinking small, like Tasty Sausage for littlepon!
Soosoo not have time to dream small!

The party appears lost at Soosoo's words.

Nia

What's he on about...?

Soosoo

Poppi? Please execute program!

Poppi α

Poppi hear and obey.

The three turn around, Poppi stealthily takes control of Poppi Mk. II once again.

Poppi Mk. II

Please to come out, Poppibuster!

A machine comes at high speed toward them.

Rex

What the...?!

The machine stops, it appears to be a sort of giant mechanical Nopon.

Mòrag

Why is it shaped...like a Nopon?

Nia

It is kinda cute, though...

Poppibuster

Thank you kindly for your compliment. You, too, are exceedingly cute.

Nia

It talks?!

Soosoo

Soosoo equip it with specially-crafted artificial intelligence program! Is made to support Poppi.

Poppibuster

Yes. I am indeed, if you pardon the self-aggrandizement, a superlative AI. Your awe is fully warranted.

Nia

Wow...

Soosoo

Oho, this is only tippedy-tip of iceberg...
Poppi?

They both nod before Poppi goes into Mk. II mode.

Poppi α

On mark, ready, go!

Poppi Mk. II

Poppibuster... Initiate transformation!

Poppibuster

Acknowledged, Ma'am.

Poppibuster transforms, jumping into the air has the legs that were retracted on its back deploy. It lands after rolling around in the air.

Mòrag

Oh my...

Tora

Meh-meh?!

Poppi Mk. II steps in front of the party while Poppibuster's round body opens, showing some room inside.

Poppi Mk. II

Poppibuster, here we goooooo!

Mk. II rolls on the ground all the way to Poppibuster's feet then gets inside him with some difficulty, sitting inside as it closes and the machine poses.

Poppi Mk. II

Poppibuster docking complete!

Poppibuster

Valued friends of Ms. Poppi. The Poppibuster is standing by to excel, pending your orders.

Everyone

Whoaa...

Tora

That SO COOOOOL!!

The scene end with Soosoo celebrating by laughing maniacally.

Going for a test run

Tora

Grampypon Soosoo!
Tora not think Grampypon had it in him! This increase Tora's opinion of Grampypon by factor of five!

Soosoo

Meh-ho-hoo!
Grampypon have many years to expand scope of reading material!
As I say before, no longer have time to waste on dreaming small!

Tora

Tora underestimate Grampypon...but now Tora adjust estimation! Adjust upward!

Soosoo

Meh-ho-ho!

Mòrag

Right, so... How would we make use of this Poppibuster, then?

Poppibuster

Thanks to the data you kindly gathered, I can operate to the greatest effect irrespective of my Driver's experience.

Soosoo

In other word... Poppibuster can become Blade of Rex, or Blade of Nia. Is no matter!

Tora

Can Poppibuster be Blade of Tora?

Soosoo

Tora already have Poppi.

Poppi α

Absolutely correct. Poppi always fight by Masterpon's side.

Tora

Touching words move heart of Tora...
As long as Tora have Poppi, Tora not need stupid Poppibuster!

Poppibuster

Would you like me to crush him for you, Ma'am?

Tora

Meh-meh?!
Tora misspoke. Poppibuster is greatest inventions. Please do not crush.

Soosoo

Now is time! Poppibuster seem to be brimming with pep and attitude. Anyone want to go for test drive?

Rex

Totally!

Soosoo

Then for test purposes, go to Mor Ardain and defeat Maxos Arachno.

Tora

Good choice for first opponent!

Soosoo

Poppi...
You not yet used to fighting while also controlling Poppi Mk. II, so best to take things slow at first.

Poppibuster

Your fear is absurd and unwarranted, considering I will be there to support Ms. Poppi.

Poppi α

...Poppi feel more confident already.

Soosoo

P-personality matrix appear slightly outside initial parameters, but learn by doing seem like best approach!

Poppi α

That sound good to Poppi!

Report back to Grampypon Soosoo again

Soosoo

Mehmeh! You return!
Expression on faces tell Soosoo that test drive was success?

Poppibuster

Naturally it was. You can't possibly have expected me to fail, can you?

Poppi α

With support from Poppibuster, Poppi could give 110% energy output.

Soosoo

That great to hear! Was anything needing tune-up?

Poppi α

Poppi and Poppi Mk. II both operating with no glitches whatsoever.

Poppibuster

My performance was also flawless.

Soosoo

Great news, great news.
In that case, Soosoo give Poppibuster to friends, as planned.

Poppibuster

I think I'm going to enjoy your company, friends and companions of Ms. Poppi.

Rex

Likewise!

Soosoo

Meh-ho-ho!
Then it about time for Soosoo to go back into hiding.

Tora

Grampypon not want to see Dadapon?

Soosoo

Tatazo now living perfectly content life without his dadapon. Maybe best to leave that way.
After all, great achievement of make Poppi and Lila also possible because Soosoo not in picture anymore.
I believe it better for Tora and Tatazo to stand on own feet, keep inventing wondrous inventions!

Tora

Tora have complicated feelings now...
...Grampypon, will we meet again?

Soosoo

But of course!
Dear friends of Tora...
Please take good care of Tora and Poppi, and Poppi Mk. II, and Poppibuster too.

Rex

You've got it!

Nia

We're a caring bunch, really!

Poppi α

Please take care of self, Professor.

Soosoo

Thank you. Soosoo surely will. Until we meet again!

The scene fades to black for a moment. When it fades in again, Soosoo has gone back into hiding.

Rex

Say, now that I think about it...
What's that name mean, "Poppibuster"? I totally forgot to ask...

Mòrag

Yes, it has been bothering me too.

Nia

Poppibuster, do you know?

Poppibuster

Of course I know. Ms. Poppi chose it for me.

Tora

Poppi choose name like that?

Poppi α

Indeed.
Poppi choose most proper-sounding name from list of three provided by Professor Soosoo.

Nia

What do you mean, proper-sounding...?

Poppi α

Three top ideas of Professor were...
Number 1: Poppi Obey Powered Panzer Inferno.
Number 2: Soosoo presents: New Poppi XL Deluxe.
And number 3 was Poppibuster.

Nia

That's one hell of a choice...

Tora

Yes, naming sense of Grampypon always was notoriously bad...

Rex

I can definitely see why you'd choose "Poppibuster" over the other two...

Poppi α

As added bit of trivia, name meant to suggest "enough power to take down even Poppi".
Poppi think that slightly in bad taste, but then again, what do Poppi know. Coolness of name is paramount.

Tora

Poppi got that right! Make choice is correct. Tora very proud!

Poppi α

To quote great Nopon scholar, meh-ho-ho.

Rex

Well, I feel a lot better knowing where the name came from. Let's keep up the good work, Poppibuster!

Poppibuster

Yes, please do.
I myself will undoubtedly excel enough to make you swoon, Ma'am.
I'm sure that together, we'll make your masterpon prouder still.

Poppi α

Poppi not think ego of Masterpon need any more stroking, to be fair...
