The combat ways of this idol trio:

Teen Wing

Teen Wing loves “beating the shit out of” and taunting nasty on her enemies.

The crime fighter often lands hard hits on her opponents that knocks them off their feet. Because close combat is her favorite tactic, she overwhelms them until they give a "round of applause" (surrendering) of her performance. This is supported by her arm cannons: in the form of stars appearing in front of the weapons' glowing nozzles, the strongest damage is through big stars, while weaker damage is dealt with smaller stars. They can also form certain "constellations" to mimic weapons akin to a gatling gun or sniper rifle. However, the shapes they are not as complex as those summoned from Milly Dilly's parasol. The arm cannons also help Teen Wing move around by pointing the nozzles down to, by blasting, launch herself up in the air. She can do cartwheels, or strike poses on the air to her heart's content.

Like a traditional metroidvania (or seeing her missions like those in Netroid), Teen Wing starts off with "spells" only shown from Kid Wing documentaries and related material. However, as the story progresses, she begins uncovering more spells as she gathers information about her missing role model. Eventually, she picks up the final and most powerful spell crucial to defeating Milly Dilly.

Teen Wing also lands kicks too. She enjoys bouncing on walls for making critical hits. As a bonus, sparks fly from both kicking and punching. The greater the damage is, the more sparks appear.

Lance

Similar to his daughter, the legendary Lance also “beats the shit out of” his enemies, but in a graceful and unpredictable manner. He's also what Teen Wing would be like at full power.

As a self-proclaimed "world class" fencer, he makes (frighteningly) fast and elegant swipes by the blade. Except he can dual-wield two fencers, and other swords of his choosing, shapeshifted from his default hands. The sharp tips of both weapons can also cast spells via the same stars as Teen Wing and can be used as launchers to move around (and strike dramatic poses whenever he wants to) in the air. Basically, oversized magic wands.

His favorite spell is summoning a big star that fires multiple projectiles (similar to the Storm Missile of Metroid Dread and Judgment, a signature move for the Mythical Pokemon Arceus).

One difference between the idols, however, is that Lance prefers "perfect timing." Specifically, he searches for the right place to strike his foes, whether it's the classic heart or a mad slash across the eyes. Teen Wing doesn't care where, but Lance prefers to pinpoint weak spots.

Like Teen Wing, sparks fly whenever Lance lands hits on his opponents, and he likes jumping around. In a very theatric fashion.

Everything's a stage play for Lance in fact. Just don't interrupt his battle soliloquies and monologues. Pray you get a spat and not a slash on the face.

Rakumo

Literally Spiderman: punching, kicking, grappling onto and yeeting people after lassoing them.

Except this plane's a puppeteer. However, before Rakumo pulls strings, he has to knock a foe unconscious (it's very rare for them to get killed by a furious spider ninja) and it's usually done through stealth. During battle, he can choose more than one "ragdoll" and use them against his opponents' strengths in favor of their weaknesses. Sometimes, the puppeteer can get messy with his movements like his younger cousin, especially when he's blinded by anger. In other words, Rakumo mix-and-matches his assets, which is limited up to 2.

Outside of puppeteering, Rakumo can use his "strings" (invisible, but can be inferred by his glowing hands and ragdolls' eyes when activated) to grapple onto platforms or enemies.

When "ragdolls" are out of his range, Rakumo also commits physical attacks. His arm blades (or wings as a plane) are his notable unit: they appear as shark fins when they're deactivated and extend via activation. The tip lights up via emotion, but it doesn't add onto the damage the puppeteer makes. Rakumo is also a kicker: roundhousing, scissor, and sweeping are known examples.

Teen Wing is the only trouper to go against Rakumo as calling for backup will add onto the ringleader's power. Unless certain circumstances say otherwise.

Sometimes, I wonder what a Supercharge!Rakumo would be like....

Anyways: all in all, Rakumo is the fist, Lance is the sword, and Teen Wing is the gun.

OC-tober: Day 27 (Monster)

They are the last Super Wing standing.

Their colleagues tried to hold back the intruders, but they managed to overwhelm the Super Wings easily.

Not even Paul, one of the more experienced Super Wings, stood a chance against the stronger intruders.

After witnessing Kim crash onto a wall of World Spaceport from the impact of a cannon holstered on one of the intruder’s arms, a horrified Shelia tightened their fists.

“It’s nothing personal, kid.” Said a masked individual donning a hooded cape. Shelia suspects that they are the leader of the invasion. “We’re just here to put on a show.”

Part 2 of the TW Lore--Season 1 and 2 (V1):

Wuh oh, revised/rewritten bits from Part 1:

• The Pavere Carnival was subject to violent backlash for inducing nightmares on both children and adults visiting the attraction. Karakumo, the original ringleader during this time, was the public’s punching bag and sought ways to alleviate the madness. She consulted with Milly Dilly about this and the two worked to avoid potential risks. It all went well until influencers rose in popularity across the world, causing a blow on the Pavere Carnival’s visitor rate. Such an event caused MD to take drastic measures in making her employees more scarier. However, several accidents involving the carnival’s attractions immediately closed the Pavere Carnival for good. Many of MD’s employees remain by her side by working outside of the attraction’s ruins but some, including Karakumo, left because they disagreed with their former boss’ actions.

The PC’s shutdown happened before Karakumo joined the Super Wings, but she was still training Rakumo because he actually wanted to work with her since the teen didn’t like Milly Dilly’s ways of running the carnival. Karakumo’s student heard about the shutdown on the news and Rakumo’s someone that enjoys anything weird.

• The conversation between Karakumo and Lance at Venice: the former (now) specifically told the latter to stop the PC’s current ways of scaring the world. Lance said he doesn’t know much about the Pavere Carnival’s inner workings but would look into it while he works for the Super Wings...and deal with Karakumo. But the mention of the delivery organization prompted the puppeteer to inquire about Lance’s workplace. He was hesitant to explain about the Super Wings to his adversary but, being the psyche analyst he is, a side of Lance is convincing him that Karakumo was being nice/genuine for once.

A few years later, Vicky was enthralled by a documentary about the disappearance of a Legendary Super Wing named Kid Wing on TV. One of the things she enjoyed is the LSW‘s fighting style and how it was applied to take down criminals, even the supernatural ones, across the world. Vicky enjoyed his arsenal of firework weapons and began mimicking Kid Wing’s fighting style. As a result, she became a self-taught fighter.

But what Vicky didn’t like was the LSW’s unexpected disappearance. It bewildered her: why would a powerful plane suddenly let the bad guys come out from their hiding spots? Who would take his place to stop them?

And thus, Vicky requested to her dad if the troupe and herself can become both crime fighters and troupers.

Which resulted in Lance spitting out his morning drink one day upon hearing the news: he was reluctant at first, but a sparkling touch of convincing and big fat puppy eyes made Lance surrender because how can a dashing father disappoint his rising star?

In fact, the international acclaim of his troupe, which is now named as Teen Troupe, can boost if they were to combat the elusive Pavere Carnies. So comes S1: monster of the week, domestic banter, idol showdowns, you name it.

.....Until we meet the ringleader of the Pavere Carnival in Slovakia who kickstarts the actual story of Teen Wing. Rakumo’s personality will then be further revealed in S2:

Teen Wing finds old news about the Pavere Carnival and how its ruins still stand today. Surprisingly, no sign of nature reclaiming is present: only fading paint indicates the grounds’ abandoned status.

She finds the Pavere Carnival’s ruins at an unspecified country a bit far from civilization. Perhaps it was located here to evoke their creepy feeling when the carnival was still operating.

But, Teen Wing finds a visitor roaming around the carnival’s grounds: a jet who introduced himself as Inei. He was a longtime regular of the Pavere Carnival and continues to visit after its closure. Moreover, the jet wanted to find any secrets the attraction stowed from public.

Inei’s also a really damn awesome graffiti artist. He’s vandalizing walls and repainting eroding carnival art.

(Important note: When you want to go urban exploring, bring someone with you like friends who provide assistance and fun. It’s way safer than going alone even though you think a particular abandoned place doesn’t look dangerous to you.)

So, Vicky and Inei introduced each other and the latter infodumps about the Pavere Carnival while the two jets walk around the ruins. At night, they fight as Teen Wing and Rakumo respectively and the two continue this routine until they take a really bad turn at World Spaceport.

The Super Wings fell victim to the ringleader’s puppetry and Teen Wing had to sneak around them, knowing the planes moved a foot like live mannequins every time she doesn’t turn back at the SWs. She had to find the power source in the ginormous World Spaceport to turn on the lights as fast as she can, but a big fight erupts between her and Rakumo revealing himself.

It was difficult for Teen Wing to avoid landing hard hits on the SW. Eventually, she managed to shatter Rakumo’s mask, revealing the same face back at the Pavere Carnival’s ruins: Inei.

Silent tension happened and TW’s anger was beginning to bubble up until, in a state of panic, Inei slashed the crimefighter across the face, partially damaging TW’s eyesight. Luckily, with the puppeteer fleeing the scene, the Super Wings woke up from their mannequin state and the lights turned back on. Noticing TW bleeding on the ground, the SW brought her to the medical wing quickly and patch her up.

From there, they would learn that TW is the alter ego of Vicky, a renewed Teen Trouper, but kept it a secret as the crimefighter's request. When Vicky woke up from her unconsciousness, she gave her organization's contact to the SWs to call. As a result, a distraught Lance burst into World Spaceport. He was about to fight the SWs with a glowing fencing sword buzzing with intense electricity, but Jerome, Sunny, and Sara convinced him otherwise altogether.

"Also. We're big fans of your troupe."

"Not right now, Sunny!"

Calm, Lance witnessed the SW making special glasses that can transform into Vicky’s signature Teen Wing mask. Vicky was happy about the advanced technology but is still reeling from Rakumo’s revelation.

Eventually, the crimefighter requested to have a break from work.

Luckily, one of the SWs recognized her costume being strikingly similar to a lost Legendary Super Wing. Vicky, and Lance following behind, was introduced to the Hall of Fame and learned more about Kid Wing than what the documentaries on television told her. There was also a plane whose name is unfamiliar to Vicky: Karakumo.

She wasn't a LSW, but often partnered up with Kid Wing, which hardened the frown on Lance's face.

Afterwards, he brought his daughter back to their home hangar and put her to bed. He kept a watchful eye on the assistant director, becoming even more protective than before that was extremely annoying to Vicky the next day.

But then again, she really needed physical comfort.

Meanwhile, fearing in the inside, Rakumo reported back to his boss about his failure in World Spaceport. But he was able to get vital intel about the Super Wings' connection to Teen Troupe. From there, the Pavere Carnival's operations will rack up.

At the end of the season, we would then get a name of the Pavere Carnival's big boss: Milly Dilly.

Part 1 of the TW Lore (V.1), "Pre-S1":

Note: This, and parts 2—, will be separated into two perspectives: Teen Troupe (TT) and Pavere Carnival (PC).

TT

On the dawn of his 300th mission to become a LSW, Lance was sent to Venice, Italy to capture his notorious enemy and then-ringleader of the Pavere Carnival, Karakumo. Although he is a bit conflicted about it since he has been tormented numerous times by her, the Carnival of Venice happening on the same day was a distraction for Lance at least.

So, as a masqueraded Kid Wing, Lance flew over to his destination to enjoy the festivities while reluctantly searching for his target. However, he began to notice something odd about how the festival's visitors acted around him. In fact, Lance had a bad feeling that Karakumo's presence was near, and it was confirmed when the carnival was staged in, according to Lance, a "clever and meticulous fashion."

After a pretty insulting confrontation courtesy of his target, Lance got into a dance fight with Karakumo. Throughout the scene, the future LSW observed his nemesis' movements were more graceful than previous battles. He was unsure if this was just part of the mood in the environment he was in, or if Karakumo was being nice for once.

A yank on the arm (unnecessarily) dragged Lance out from his thoughts and the applause from the unconscious carnival visitors began to fade in the background.

Once he was pulled into a secluded area of a palace, Karakumo not only commended the LSW's moves, but also offered to be his partner-in-crime. It felt like a slap on the face: Lance does not take kindly to his nemesis' past nuisances. But Karakumo explained her reason: she was looking for someone that can stop her boss from conjuring a "great nightmare," and Lance fits the criteria perfectly. Additionally, she wanted to leave her former workplace (Pavere Carnival) after disagreeing with her boss' new rules. He thought this was just an act to get away from him forever, but there was something in Karakumo's tone that convinced the LSW to team up with her. Moreover, he is unsure what this "great nightmare" his nemesis was referring too but wants to know more about the Pavere Carnival's inner workings.

Eventually, Lance decided to establish her position as a Super Wing due to his former nemesis' promising care around children (despite scaring them "for fun") during a cautious period of internship. As a result, the two SWs' relationship improved and got to know each other personally better. Then, Lance and Mari gave life to a hyperactive grape named Vicky.

Because both are working actively as SWs, Lance assigned Grand Albert (one of his colleagues and friends) to look after Vicky until Lance and Mari came back; this won't apply if either parent went on a mission, and Vicky was left under the care of the other. From there, their daughter would become friends with Ellie, who her grandfather would often take to work due to Ellie's undying curiosity of the world.

However, things began to go downhill: Karakumo promised to Lance she would introduce a special student of hers to him and Vicky in the latter's birthday. But on that day, Jimbo declared Mari as MIA because she has not reported to work for a few days without a reason.

A search party composing of Lance (who volunteered) and the other Super Wings flew across the world for signs of Mari. Meanwhile, Vicky was left wondering why her mom did not show up and who her “special student” is. Regardless, Ellie was there to comfort her devastated friend.

Once his luck ran out, Lance resigned his position as a Super Wing and he and Vicky “disappeared” from the face of Earth. But the ex-LSW kept his wife’s words and vows to search for more individuals that can combat the Pavere Carnival’s boss, thus leading to the creation of Teen Troupe, while taking care of Vicky.

Yet, he was struck by a dark period of his life: Lance abandoned his KW identity (which his daughter is unaware of during this time) and cut off contact with Mari's family members aside his and Vicky. The latter tried to cheer her dad up while doing her own part of the recruitment work for the troupe.

PC

The Pavere Carnival fascinated Inei, an artistic plane with an interest for the weird and ugly. Specifically, he was drawn to the attention of the carnival's ringleader, Karakumo, growing up. She was the personification of arachnophobia, one of the world's common fears that involved Inei's favorite insect: the spider.

He wanted to become a Pavere Carnie, but Akumu was strongly against the idea. She heard rumors about the carnival's manager's shady practices, and Mari provided evidence to her sister. But why she didn't leave the carnival bewildered and frustrated Akumu. Regardless, Inei didn't believe his mother and aunt's claims. He then signed up for the Pavere Carnival and was taken under the internship of Karakumo.

During their time together, she and Inei became mentor and mentee respectively, and the latter created an alternate identity for himself: Rakumo. He awed Karakumo's work and looked forward to work under her leadership.

Meanwhile, the true leader of the Pavere Carnival, Layla, was distraught and disappointed when she received news of Billy Willy's death.

Her cousin’s gadgets were frightening enough to cause city-wide destruction and yet? He was defeated by a mere plane! Perhaps Billy didn’t instill enough fear on his opponents, and it was something Layla wanted to fix and implement on herself and the Pavere Carnies. Moreover, she noticed her attraction hasn’t gotten enough attention due to the spread of influencers.

So, because her carnies weren’t being scary enough, Layla initiated a new set of rules that departed from the “fun” trait the Pavere Carnival once boasted.

However, this made Karakumo, Layla’s then-second in command, disagree and she began to work differently than before. This made the ringleader's boss irritated, and the two had conversations together regarding this during closing hours.

A couple of months later, an ecstatic Karakumo wanted to introduce Rakumo to her newly formed family on the day of her daughter's birthday. The young Pavere Carnie was surprised but curious about his mentor's family. Karakumo never mentioned having one since Rakumo met her in-plane, and she apologized for the lack of proper training in the past few months, so it is assumed she was engaged with someone.

Perhaps his mentor's family has a fascination with Earth's strange side like him too!

On the day Karakumo would be picking him up to go to the party, Rakumo was baffled at the broken promise. He tried calling her several times, but it did not go through her radio. Soon, his fears were confirmed when Layla announced their ringleader has disappeared and the Pavere Carnival will be closed today to sort the matter out.

Like Vicky, Rakumo was devastated at the loss of his mentor. Additionally, he was furious that Karakumo's family was careless enough to take her life. The young Pavere Carnie trained on his own vigorously while the whereabouts of Karakumo slowly fed onto his strength.

One day, Rakumo was called to his boss' office and Layla, having to notice his close relationship with Karakumo, offered to take over her position as the Pavere Carnival's ringleader for the time being. Due to his strong loyalty under Karakumo's wing, Rakumo immediately sworn himself to the role and swore vengeance against the person, or plane, that took his mentor away.

But an ongoing suspicion about his mother's claims being accurate conflicted with Rakumo's anger. In fact, the ringleader position was advantageous to uncover information about Karakumo's disappearance and find out if Layla had a role in his mentor's case.

Nevertheless, it was quite buried under Rakumo's daily ringleading and training to become the most feared of the Pavere Carnival, while searching for his mentor's captor...or killer (Rakumo didn't want to describe as that).
