Chapter 01: Awakening
May 1, 2025
Something ancient has stirred beneath the surface of Enpiah. Just after sunrise, a violent tremor rippled across the red planet.
Machines sparked. Gravity pulsed. And from somewhere deep underground, a strange mechanical structure cracked open with a long, echoing hiss of steam.[img]https://images.marapets.com/news/solarflare-chapter1.jpg[/img]
She was forgotten. Now she remembers. And she wants it all back.
A figure emerged???half-asleep, half-wrapped in faded velvet robes.
Eyes squinted. Hair frizzed. Mouth curled into a disapproving scowl.
???This??? is not how I left it.???
Who is she?
Why was she sealed in a rusted pod beneath Enpiah?
And why???after centuries of silence???has she awoken now?
No one knows. But it happened just hours after a massive Solar Flare struck the planet??? and only weeks after the unexplained Glitched Weather Event that still has scientists scratching their heads.
Coincidence?
A warning?
Or the beginning of something far stranger?
The skies are flickering. The machines are twitching.
And something ancient has opened its eyes.

Chapter 02: What Goes Up...
May 2, 2025
Across Marada, unstable energy surged through power lines, teleporters, and machinery. Machines are malfunctioning.
One such machine - Candyland's Gumball Machine - shuddered violently before launching thousands of gumballs into the air like a cannon.
[img]https://images.marapets.com/news/solarflare-chapter2.jpg[/img]
Some say it malfunctioned. Others think it finally woke up. Zero Refunds.
They didn't fall. And now, dozens of gumballs drift silently across the skies of Enpiah, caught in low orbit. Some say they're evolving into tiny planets. Others think the machine simply misfired.
Crowds are building in Candyland, hoping to see it happen again. But one traveller - just recently awoken from a very long slumber - watched it happen and scoffed.
“Modern machines. So flashy. So... inefficient.”
She spent the day touring Marada, unimpressed by what it had become.
Has Marada lost its way?

Chapter 03: Great Launch Log
May 3, 2025
Since the solar flare, something has changed inside the Gumball Machine. It's not always dispensing gumballs.
It's launching them into orbit at speeds between eleven and one hundred and ninety nine kilometers every second. You can see for yourself at the Launch Log.
[img]https://images.marapets.com/news/solarflare-chapter3.jpg[/img]
Gumballs don't belong in orbit! Even space fish can’t explain what’s going on.
In orbit, the gumballs twist, glow, and pulse — their surfaces warping under some unknown pressure. Every hour they change, almost as if evolving. And now, after six hours in orbit, they’ve started to… solidify. To become.
Planets.
The Telescope is tracking them all. A Gumball Launch Log records every departure. And if you’ve launched at least one yourself, you’re now eligible to discover them.
Its distance travelled? Calculated to the exact kilometre. And the Longest Journeys are being watched very closely.
There will be prizes.
And maybe… answers.

Chapter 04: Gumballs Galore
May 4, 2025
Enpiah’s orbit has become overrun with clusters of drifting gumballs — some glowing, some pulsing, others wrapped in what scientists are calling “aggressive candy coatings.”
Reports say they're forming patterns. Stacking themselves. Reacting to each other.
[img]https://images.marapets.com/news/solarflare-chap4.jpg[/img]
One cannon. Four Episodes. Sixty Levels. This isn’t Candyland anymore.
You’ve been issued a cannon and limited boosters.
Your task: clear as many clusters as possible before they reach the upper atmosphere.
Gumballs Galore is live.
Level by level, orbit by orbit, Marada is counting on you.

Chapter 05: Fashionably Late
May 5, 2025
Snorella found it by accident. Covered in cobwebs, flickering faintly, humming in an annoyingly cheerful tone.
[img]https://images.marapets.com/news/solarflare-chapter5-Xuw8.jpg[/img]
The first makeover in nearly two decades. About time.
“This is what passes for fashion now?”
The machine, of course, ignored her — just as it always has. Time hasn’t been kind to its contents. Most of the clothes inside are worn, dated, and — in Snorella’s words — “a fashion crime even gravity can’t forgive.”
But today, something changed.
The solar flare surged. The Vending Machine blinked. A new prize dropped.
Not much has been added yet — but it was enough. Enough to get her attention. Enough to remind us that some features aren’t forgotten — just sleeping.
Every use of the Vending Machine during the Solar Flare may help you discover a planet, as long as you’ve launched gumballs into orbit.

Whenever there is a Solar Flare weather event, the Enchanted Plushie and Vending Machine Treasure Maps are back on sale at the Account Upgrades Shop
The Vending Machine has a new design and 25 new items to be won
During a Solar Flare weather event, there is a chance that you will discover a random planet from the Gumball Launch Log whenever you use the Vending Machine

Chapter 06: Soft Reboot
May 6, 2025
Still fuming from her encounter with the Vending Machine, Snorella wandered deeper into Slater Park.
[img]https://images.marapets.com/news/solarflare-chapter6-Dvk87.jpg[/img]
The first makeover in nearly two decades. About time.
“This place used to smell like brass and popcorn.
Now it smells like sugar and disappointment”
Her next stop was the Enchanted Plushie Machine. She remembered it — barely — from long ago. Once a marvel of soft magic and meticulous craft.
She moved the claw to the left and nothing happened. Fifteen minutes she waited and she moved the claw to the right. Nothing happened.
She waited again. And again. Six times. The claw jerked sideways. The screen blinked. No plushie. No prize. Just a long, robotic sigh.
She kicked it. Hard.
The lights cut out. The screen shattered. A faint whiff of stuffing escaped into the air. She walked away without a word and got in line for the Murfin Madness rollercoaster.
By the time she returned, the Enchanted Plushie Machine was gone.
In its place stood something sleeker. Animated screen. Responsive claw. Dots and arrows tracking every movement. A fresh stock of new plushies shimmered inside.
And like the others affected by the Solar Flare, every use now has a chance to discover a planet, if you've launched any gumballs into orbit.

Chapter 07: Pressure Builds
May 7, 2025
She used to wear goggles. Back then, everything hissed. Everything clicked. Everything mattered.
Snorella lived through an age of copper bolts, hand-poured moulds, and handcrafted machines that spat out smoke like they had opinions.
[img]https://images.marapets.com/news/solarflare-chapter7.jpg[/img]
There was no AI in her era… and she plans to keep it that way
The gears needed oil. The valves needed tuning. And everyone respected the hiss of pressure.
Her machines filled entire buildings. Her blueprints lined brass-plated walls. People came from all over Marada to see the things she built — to hear the hiss of steam, the clank of pistons, the rhythm of invention.
The kind of machines that required gloves, timing, and courage. But over time, the machines got quieter. Smaller. Safer. Less Exciting.
“Ma’am, please step away from the machine.”
Security had arrived.
Page 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 08: Re-Threaded
May 8, 2025
Security acted swiftly. One well-placed kick, and Snorella’s time in Slater Park was over. Her annual pass cancelled without refund.
“Kicking the machine is not okay. This isn’t the Christmas Tree.”
[img]https://images.marapets.com/news/solarflare-chapter8.jpg[/img]
No stuffing was harmed this time. Probably.
Fortunately, the damage didn’t matter. Unbeknownst to most, the Plushie Machine was already scheduled for a complete replacement — one that arrived suspiciously fast, as if someone had anticipated the chaos.
And, like all machines affected by the ongoing Solar Flare, every use now has a chance to help you discover a planet, if you’ve launched any gumballs into orbit.
Twelve new planets have been spotted in orbit — shimmering with unfamiliar colours, shapes, and gravitational pull. Scientists are reporting a subtle shift in weight. Some say it’s the wind. Others say it’s beginning.
No confirmation. Just rumours. For now.
Page 8
There are 12 new Planet Gumballs you can win whenever there is a Solar Flare weather event
To recap what happens during Solar Flare weather event:
⋅ Use the Gumball Machine and there is a chance that any gumball you win shoots out into orbit
⋅ When this happens, it's speed is randomly selected (between 11km/s and 199km/s) and recorded on the Gumball Launch Log
⋅ Gumballs in orbit change every hour. After 6 Hours of travelling, these gumballs turn into Planet Gumballs and are ready to be discovered
⋅ For every gumball you put into orbit, you are able to visit the Telescope to try and discover a random planet
⋅ You have extra chances to discover planets using the Vending Machine, Enchanted Plushie Machine and Plushie Machine
⋅ The more gumballs you launch into orbit, the more you are able to discover!
⋅ When you discover a planet, it's total distance will be calculated (time launched x speed travelled) and you will win the Planet Gumball prize
⋅ The player that launched the gumball and the player that discovers it as a planet are both added to Distance Travelled List
⋅ If you have the Double Gumballs Giftbox you will receive two Planet Gumballs instead of the usual one whenever you discover it at the Telescope, Vending Machine, Enchanted Plushie Machine or Plushie Machine
⋅ At the end of the event, those at the top of the Distance Travelled List will win prizes - including Account Upgrade Credit
