| Someone Count how many Cameos there are! |
| Yup, it�s that time again. Another four years have passed, (I�m assuming Axems keep their youth) and as usual, the Olympics of people of getting hurt, The Tournament of Heroes, starts today. -------------------------------------------------- Our camera zooms in on a bulky blue aircraft flying through the sky, the Blue Blade. The pilot, of course, is Axem Blue. BLUE: Chances are, Midnight Blue will be at the tournament. I must seal him with for the eleventh time with the Chakra Stone before it is too late. -------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, in Hawaii� Midnight Blue is sipping juice out of a coconut. MIDNIGHT BLUE: Sucker! -------------------------------------------------- Blue spots the tournament coliseum. He pilots the blade over the island, but� BLUE: �I do not see the rather convenient landing area most cities have. I guess I will go for the next best thing. He nosedives into the tournament parking lot, crushing and exploding 57 cars. BLUE: They did not move, so it was not my fault. Blue walks out of the blade to be confronted by the Audience. AUDIENCE: It�s all your fault, man! You ruined us all! BLUE: Er� -------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, at the Tournament Sign-up booth� Already seven people have signed up to participate: Axems Strife, Aardvark, Destruction, Image, Hasaki, and Copper, along with MagiKoopa. But at the sign-up booths, Axems Blood Knight, Thor, and Dynamite fight over the last spot. DYNAMITE: Stop pushing! I got here first! BLOOD KNIGHT: Well I got here second! THOR: I�m here for some reason! Blood Knight picks up a pen and starts crossing off vital sections of Dynamite�s application. DYNAMITE: Hey! Dynamite punches Blood Knight in the chest while Thor rips up everyone�s (even his own) paper. THOR: Whoops. BLOOD KNIGHT: Thor, you idiot! Suddenly, a kunai (small throwing knife) flies out of a nearby tree with a paper attached to it, hitting near Larry, the attendant. LARRY: I hate my job� He reads the application and fills in the last tournament spot. LARRY: And like that, sign-ups and now closed. You three, get the fridge out! JAMEY: It�s FUDGE out, Larry. And where did I come from? And who signed up? Jr. Koopa Ninja jumps out of the tree and in front of Jamey. JK NINJA: Hi. Blood Knight, Thor, and Dynamite walk away dejectedly. Jamey walks to where the eight contestants are. JAMEY: Funny that you�re all gathered here. Anyway, the adult division will be held a few minutes after the Jr. Division, so please don�t wander off anywhere. Destruction starts wandering off to chase butterflies. DESTRUCTION: Pretty colors� MAGIKOOPA: Obviously, that moron has a two-second attention span. STRIFE: Unlike me. Hey, is there ice cream yet? IMAGE: (Shaking her fist) You�re going to need ice cream in a SECOND if you don�t stop asking that! JAMEY: There�s no way you could�ve answered that without a best-selling book at your disposal, right? :) COPPER: I like ice cream�especially on pizza! JK NINJA: Wait, what were talking about again? HASAKI: Um� AARDVARK: I think Jamey just informed us about something and nobody listened. I bet even Jamey didn�t. JAMEY: What? They walk off to the stadium to watch the Junior Division. Seconds later, Moonlight and Titanium walk into the sign-up area. MOONLIGHT: Chances are, we�re too late. TITANIUM: This always happens! We might as well look for tickets from a scalper� They spot Axem Mercenary selling tickets to Axems Peace and Blue. BLUE: That is a barbaric price, Mercenary. I only have pocket change from bribing the Audience to go away. MERCENARY: Yeah well, your fault. BLUE: I said it before, and I will say it again; They did not move, so it was not my fault. PEACE: How about if I smear your reputation with the fact I beat you up in the Finals last time? MERCENARY: Er� Mercenary slides Peace a ticket. BLUE: I guess I shall pay you with whatever is magically in my Axem pockets that do not exist. Blue pulls out a bag of 150 coins and hands it over to Mercenary. Mercenary hands over a ticket. MERCENARY: Hehehe�if I got a nickel for every dime I have�I�d still be rolling in cash! MWAHAHA! SNOW: Since when are nickels and dimes existent in the Mushroom Kingdom? MERCENARY: Hmm�well, why is Axem Snow here anyway? SNOW: Brief cameo, I guess. So, have anymore tickets left? MERCENARY: Nope. Inaudible curse words are heard from where Moonlight and Titanium stand. -------------------------------------------------- Hours later� Our eight contestants enter the Contestant�s Building with Jamey. Jamey picks up a cardboard box next to a whiteboard. JAMEY: OK, standard procedure; Grab a random number from the cardboard box, and you will be placed in the tournament ladder. Oh, and please, no trading� They all step up and pick up a number and report it to Jamey (Hehe, cutting corners�) JAMEY: Thanks for being unusually orderly. In our first fight, we have Axem Copper against Axem Destruction. Second are Axem Hasaki and JK Ninja. Third, we have MagiKoopa vs. Axem Strife. Last for today will be Axem Aardvark with Axem Image. NOTE: Let�s hope my underlings didn�t mess up this time :) MAGIKOOPA: (thinking) Strife, huh? This should be fun� COPPER: (thinking) First fight�I might be the first to be eliminated! Nuts! AARDVARK: So�will I have to fight on the levitating arena again? JAMEY: Oh yeah, details. Fights will be held over a platform hovering six feet above the ground, and if you lose all your HP during a fight, give up, or get knocked out of the arena, you will be declared the loser. STRIFE: And of course� JAMEY: As usual, we enjoy CLEAN fights, so please, no poking in the eyes, weapons you weren�t born with, and absolutely NO hitting below the belt. AARDVARK: Darn, it�s always a rule� JAMEY: What else�killing, of course, is strictly prohibited. Killing leads to disqualification and jail time�and possibly wedgies from Fast and I. FAST: Axem Fast wonders who wears underpants here� IMAGE: Why would we? And on another note, how did you get here? FAST: Axem Fast�um�has to go. Axem Fast ate school burritos and doesn�t feel right� Fast runs off. JAMEY: Outside summoning is still forbidden during these fights. Also, as a new rule, healing techniques will be limited to two uses per fight. Yeah, it�s pretty cheap if someone can�t be weakened in any way. SNOW: Looking at your face makes me weak! JAMEY: Quiet you. Jamey throws Axem Snow out the window. SNOW: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! NOTE: Thanks for the lesson, Mercenary! JAMEY: Now that that�s settled, Copper and Destruction, come with me. The three walk out into the arena and meet the Audience. AUDIENCE: Yay. BLUE: �How come I just said that?! Is my mind being controlled?! KEVER: Mind control, definitely PEACE: I guess you should know; You�ve been in the Audience for the past 12 years! NOTE: Yes, 12. Think about it: At the second season it was four, third was eighth, and fourth is 12! Jamey walks out and activates the levitating stadium. It rises above the ground and he pulls out a microphone for a quick rally. JAMEY: It�s time to start the fourth Tournament of Heroes! AUDIENCE: Yay. BLUE: NOOOO! I did it AGAIN! KEVER: It�s irresistible. Believe me� END OF EPISODE ONE Cameo Counter: I counted seven :) |
