"The Final Showdown"

Episode 10 ・ The Keepers' HQ

Get Ready!

Part 1

Last time on

The Rewriters!

The Rewriters arrived at the
bus station, ready to travel to the
Keepers’ headquarters...

Luna

Only to meet Lopi, who ordered her shrubs
to destroy the WIN blocks in every region!

Luna

Using Menti's bus pass,
the Rewriters traveled to each region
and stopped all the shrubs!

Luna

Having protected the WIN blocks,
the team returned to the station. There,
they met Lino, the other Headkeeper!

Luna

With neither side backing down,
the Rewriters and the Keepers decided to
settle things once and for all!

Luna

Our story continues...

We've made it — we're right
outside the Keepers’ HQ!

Menti

Everyone, we’re heading in!!

Sol

Ah, you’re finally here. It’s rude
to keep someone waiting, you know?

Lino

...Though I suppose we should be
grateful you’ve traveled all this way.
Shouldn’t we, Lopi?

Lino

Mwehehe! That’s right, Lino...
they’ve fallen right into our trap!

Lopi

Wh-what do you mean?

Zorro

Did you really think we’d
fight you fair and square?

Lopi

Shrubs! Get them!

Lopi

You may be strong as a team...
but what will you do if we take that away?

Lino

Urk...! I can’t move!

Menti

This is low...even for you two.

Menti

We simply do whatever it takes to WIN.

Lino

Shrubs, take them away.

Lino

Sol!! What do we do??

Olive

Everyone!! We’ll reunite, I promise!

Sol

We’re all Rewriters, after all...!

Sol

Meanwhile,
Zorro...

...Oof! The shrubs trapped us in different rooms...what should I do??

Zorro

...Okay, stay calm.
I can do this – I’m a Rewriter!

Zorro

I’ve seen so many problems by now...
this is just like any other.

Zorro

I should start by understanding the
problem. Good thing I still have the
scroll to help me with that!

Zorro

Problem-Solving Steps

1. Understand the problem

  • What do I notice and what could be useful?
  • What is the goal?
  • What is blocking me from the goal? Why?

Once I’m out of here, maybe I can find
Morel and Enoki, too...!

Zorro

Meanwhile,
Morel and Enoki...

Oh my, we’re stuck again...the Keepers
just won’t back down, will they?

Morel

goo...

Enoki

You’re right, Enoki. We can’t just sit here
and wait for Sol to rescue us.

Morel

There must be something we can do.
Something new we can try.

Morel

g-go...

Enoki

Go for it, Papa!

Enoki

...Enoki?! Th-those were your first words!!

Morel

Ah, I’m so happy...Enoki,
you always surprise me...!

Morel

...Alright, we can do this! Let’s look at
what’s blocking us, then find a way past it.

Morel

...I think I heard Olive’s voice next door — perhaps we can reunite with her soon!

Morel

Meanwhile,
Olive...

So the Keepers prepared rooms for all of
​us, huh? Fitting for a grand finale!

Olive

And what an interesting problem
they’ve given me – so many objects I’ve
never seen before!

Olive

I do want to take my time checking
them all out, but...

Olive

...that can come after
I plan my great escape!

Olive

Problem-Solving Steps

2. Plan a solution

  • How can I break this problem into smaller steps?
  • What order should I do these steps in?

And once I’m free, I’ll go find Menti!
Now, it’s showtime~

Olive

Meanwhile,
Menti...

Menti

...Ugh. Back here again...alone.

I hope everyone else is okay. I’m sorry
I couldn’t protect you...

Menti

...I just have to trust them.
They’re all strong, in their own way.

Menti

For now, I should try something to get out
of here. And if my plan doesn’t work...

Menti

Menti

Then I’ll reflect on it to figure out a new plan! I’ll make it out of here, no matter
how many times I fail.

Problem-Solving Steps

4. Reflect on the solution

3. Try the solution

  • Did the plan work? Why or why not?
  • How should I revise my plan if it didn't work?

Problem-Solving Steps

Sol...I’ll find you soon, for sure!

Menti

Meanwhile,
Sol...

...Everyone got separated.
Was this a mistake...?

Sol

No, it’s okay. I may be alone
right now, but I still remember everything
we’ve done together.

Sol

All the things we’ve tried, all the
problems we’ve solved step-by-step...
I have it right here!

Sol

Sol

Using this scroll we’ve made along the way,
I’ll definitely find a way out!

  1. Understand the problem
  2. Plan a solution
  3. Try the solution
  4. Reflect on the solution

Which step of the problem-solving process did you find most helpful? Why?

Let's Pair Share!

I know everyone else is trying
their best right now...so I will, too!

Sol

We’ll show the Keepers...
that the Rewriters don’t give up!

Sol

Keep Going!

Part 2

Keep this in mind as you play...

Solve problems independently to show what you’ve learned!

Do your best, Rewriters!

Asking the Guiding Questions

Inspecting rules and objects

Inspecting state blocks

If you get stuck, try:

Check In!

Part 3

Time for a Video!

Let’s make sure volume is turned up and everyone can see before going to the next slide.

Everyone!!! You escaped!

Sol

What a relief...! Now we can
fight the Keepers together!

Zorro

Yes, I’m glad you’re all safe.
Before we head in...shall we make a plan?

Morel

Let's think...what did you all see in the
rooms you were trapped in? Anything useful?

Olive

Oh! I might have some ideas. Here’s what I saw in my room...

Sol

Heh. That plan just might work, Sol.

Menti

We’ll just have to try and see!
Is everyone in?

Sol

Yes!! We've come so far by working together...

Zorro

...and by persevering through difficult problems...

Morel

...and by learning from our mistakes! 

Olive

After we stop the Keepers,
we’ll show the whole world that anyone
can become a Rewriter!

Menti

Let's Discuss! (2 mins)

What does it mean to be a Rewriter?

Time for a Video!

Let’s make sure volume is turned up and everyone can see before going to the next slide.

Sounds like we're ready. Let's do this!

Sol

...What?! Lino, look!

Lopi

...The Rewriters! How did you all manage
to escape on your own?!

Lino

Don’t underestimate us, Lino. You two might make others do all your dirty work, but us?

Menti

We solve problems together and learn from each other. That's made us strong as individuals, too!

Sol

There’s nowhere left to run.
If you really want to stop us...

Sol

Then face us yourselves!

Sol

...As you wish.
I hope you don’t regret this, Sol.

Lino

Lopi, let’s move!

Lino

Everyone, to the heart! We’re taking the WIN!

Sol

Not so fast. Sol, I still don’t
understand exactly how you escaped those
caves...

Lopi

But we’ll make sure you’re
trapped for good this time.

Lopi

Everyone, look!! They’re going
after the SOL IS YOU rule!

Zorro

Oh no!! If they break that rule,
Sol will fall into another deep sleep...!

Menti

I can’t let that happen! I’ll go stop them-

Sol

Ha, it’s too late now. With this,
us Keepers shall rule forever–

Lino

Not on my watch.

Luna

...Luna?!

Sol

L-Luna...?! Why...how are you here?!

Lopi

Lopi...Lino...I won’t let you
do this to Sol again!

Luna

Sol, you all had some kind of plan, right? Quickly – do it now, while I can still hold
them back!!

Luna

Right! Well, this didn’t unfold exactly
how we were expecting, so...everyone,
it’s time for Plan C!

Sol

On it! Move out, team!

Olive

I’ve got the block for Lopi!

Zorro

Enoki and I have retrieved the AND block!

Morel

One block for Lino, right here!

Olive

Here’s the IS block. Now all that’s left...

Menti

...is to become a CRAB!!

Sol

Wh-what is this?! How dare you!!

Lino (Crab)

Stay calm, Lino! We can change
ourselves back! We just need to–

Lopi (Crab)

Sol! Say the codeword!

Menti

Oh yeah! “Yeeclaw!”

Sol

...Well, they’ve got us surrounded.

Lino (Crab)

Lopi (Crab)

...Ugh, it seems so.
What exactly do you want from us, Sol?

What do I want? Hmm...you know, I kind of get why you two think rewriting is dangerous.

Sol

Sol

I’ve accidentally turned myself into all
sorts of things. I’ve sunk in water.
I once broke my own SOL IS YOU rule...

Sol

But those moments were just mistakes.
And they might have been scary at the time,
but I’m glad I made them...

Sol

Because that’s how I became
the Sol that I am right now!

Sol

So please...release all of the
​Rewriters you trapped, and let this
world move forward again.

...I suppose we have no choice.
We admit defeat.

Lino (Crab)

...Fine. We'll give up our rule,
so can you please turn us back now–

Lopi (Crab)

Lopi (Crab)

–H-hey, wait!!

Where are you taking us?! Graaaahhh!!

Lino (Crab)

YES!!! We did it!!!

Zorro

Huzzah! Our teamwork was excellent,
if I do say so myself!

Morel

Bravo! That was amazing, everyone!

Olive

Menti

We really did it...!
Sol, you were such a great leader!

Sol

I couldn’t have done it without
all of you! And you, Luna!
How are you even here right now?!

Luna

Thanks to you all spreading the knowledge
of rewriting, I gained enough power to appear
in this world again...

Luna

You see, long ago I was known as
the leader of the Rewriters...

Luna

I knew Lopi and Lino back then, too.
I tried to stop them from forming
the Keepers...

Luna

But I failed. I thought I had to handle everything on my own, so...I never asked for help, even when I needed it.

Luna

That's why...I'm so glad you’ve made great friends, Sol.

Luna

Zorro, Morel and Enoki,
Olive, Menti...thank you for helping
Sol all this time.

Luna

And Sol, my child...I’m so proud of you.

Sol

Luna...! I realized it at the bus
station, but...you’re the one who’s been watching over me this whole time, right?

Luna

That’s right. And that’s why I can say
this confidently – Sol, you’ve become the
leader that the Rewriters need.

Sol

...Me?!

Zorro

I agree with Luna!
You’ve led us this whole time, after all!

Morel

Enoki and I trust in you as well, Sol.

Olive

Be proud, Sol – you’re a star!

Menti

Yeah, you’ve got this. And if you need help, you know who to call.

Sol

Everyone...thank you. With you all by
my side, I’ll gladly lead the Rewriters!

Sol

We had a great adventure –
but this is just the beginning.

Sol

Starting now, we’re bringing back
rewriting – for everyone!

Luna

You've all grown so much...
let’s celebrate this moment by creating
a new memory, shall we?

Luna

Everyone, gather in for a photo...

Luna

Now, say “Rewriters!”

Everyone

"Rewriters!"

Thanks for playing!
