## **History**

### **Past**

Though their past has not been thoroughly discussed, it was clearly stated by Squadril in Season 1, Episode 4 that he, Marcle, and Purpex first met each other during the First Pink Corruption outbreak. This cumulated the 3 to form a group known as "**The Chipzel Group**" and later got their tree pieces from the Tree of Life.

### **Season 1**

#### **Episode 4**

Before the main events of Season 1, Episode 4, The Chipzel Group got caught up with Lycanthropy, who allegedly ambushed them. Lycantropy then successfully corrupted the leader of the group, Purpex. When Purpex becomes corrupted, she starts to feel the influence of her corrupted alter-ego, known as 'Hexacrigon'. Hexacrigon was about to attack Squadril and Marcle, but Pyrare and his hero, Gold, arrived just in time to rescue them. The duo then rushed back to the village to warn the residents. After the incident, Purpex lay down next to a nearby tree while attempting to resist her corrupted counterpart, Hexacrigon, who sought to take complete control over her body.

Later in the episode, The Chipzel Group were reunited once again after Pentellow's hero, Tsavorite saved the leader of the group, Purpex from her infection. The group then decided to redo their intro again as they gave out their full piece to Pentellow and Tsavorite.

#### **Episode 7**

In Season 1, Episode 7, the Chipzel Group made another appearance. They were all set to celebrate the return of their leader, Purpex, with a magic show performed by Squadril at the Poly Stage. Marcle, Purpex, the Caretakers, the Heroes, and the Poly Village Citizens all gathered to watch the show.

#### **Episode 10**

The Chipzel Group were last seen in the Season 1 Finale when they were all fighting corrupted flowers in the Tree Monster fight with the others.

## **Trivia**

* This is the first known group in the Pink Corruption series.
* Their name, Chipzel, maybe a reference to the namesake track composer for Just Shapes And Beats. One of the tracks she composed, Spectra is used in-game in a hexagon-themed level, both references to the soundtrack of Super Hexagon (which Chipzel composed some tracks for) and the shape of the leader of the group, Purpex. As for the other two members, Marcle and Squadril could be the personified versions of the levels Tokyo Skies and Art of War (If you look at the back of Squadril's outfit, there is a square with white circles following behind (like the ones in Tokyo Skies) and Marcle has hair that looks like the wheel from The Art of War.
* Purpex's name is likely a combination of '**Purple**' and '**Hexagon**', which describes her shape and color.
* Marcle could possibly be either her or Pentellow the first character to explicitly curse onscreen, only in the dubbed version of the show, and the third to swear at all, the first being Lythorus in Episode 2, and Iris, also in Episode 4.
	+ Coincidentally, the former both said "**crap**".
* In the dubbed version of Episode 4, Purpex could be a vampire as evidenced by her constant, creepy whispering and also the fact that she hisses like a cat while being purified.
* The Chipzel Group will make a comeback in Season 2.
