 | Snake? Where are you?
|
 | Right here. Same place I've been for the past half hour.
|
| What? Where? I can hear you but can't see you...
|
| Sorry, old habits die hard.
|
| Seriously, come out from where ever you're hiding. You're starting to freak me out.
|
 | Huh, tha's funny, I thought I put this cardboard box in the trash already. Kirby, take it out for me, will ya?
|
| Woah, hey wait!
|
 | ^o^
|
| Geh! Whew, that was close. Uh...hey, where'd Kirby go?
|
| Hiii~
|
| Huh? Who said that?
|
| He's right in front of ya, ya ninny. Looks like he's done turned hisself into Cardboard Box Kirby.
|
| I think that's enough pre-show insanity for today. Places people, we've got work to do.
|
| Why? I hear Week 6 is the slow week here, so why can't we just slack off?
|
| It's the principle of the matter. If you're gonna do a job, ya better do it right, I always say.
|
| Since when do you say that?
|
| Since Mr. Nanjo bought him a 72oz steak last night, I'd wager.
|
| ...I got cup ramen...
|
| Hahaha! It's good to be the King, ain't it? Come on people, let's get this started.
|
| Let's. Welcome back to Behind the Scenes everyone. I'm your host, Princess Zelda, and this is the postseason week of Season 42. Let's welcome back our champions and runners up, starting with Godlike. Dedede, if you would?
|
| Sure thing. Alright, show's startin'! We're needin' the godlikes out here now!
|
 | ...
|
 | ...
|
| Good morning, Lady. And...is something the matter, Miss Althena?
|
| ...
|
| What, you can't understand her?
|
| Of course not, she isn't saying anything.
|
| ...
|
| Ooh, you might be right, I didn't think about that.
|
| But you...yeesh. I need a drink.
|
| Oookay. Ignoring the cameraman, Lady, do you have anything to say now that you've joined the ranks of the Godlike Champions?
|
| ... ... ......
|
| I see, and you're absolutely right, this is a great...
|
| HOW COULD I LOSE TO THIS PATHETIC SILENT LOSER!?!?!?!!? I WAS SO CLOSE TO BEING A CHAMPION!!! THE BEST!!! MY BEAUTIFUL FACE WOULD BE IMMORTALIZED ON THE SEASON DIAMOND FOR ALL TIME!!! EVERYONE WOULD ADORE ME AS THE GREAT GODDESS THAT I AM!!! MY CHAMPIONSHIP WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE CROWNING MOMENT OF MY ENTIRE LEAGUE CAREER AND...AND...AND YOU TOOK IT AWAY FROM ME!!!! DIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
|
| ...!
|
| Holy crap, she's wrecking the place!
|
| Dedede, DO SOMETHING!
|
| Like what!?
|
| Anything, just stop her!
|
| Um, um, I got it! Go on, suck up the monster Kirby!
|
| YOU DARE CALL ME A MONSTER YOU BLOATED WATERFOUL!?!?!?!?
|
| ^o^
|
| YOU THINK SUCH A FEEBLE ATTACK COULD DEFEAT ME!? DIE!!!!!
|
| It's no use, she's too strong!
|
| Lady, do it now!
|
| !!!
|
| DO WHA...! Wah, whoa, balance...!!!
|
| ^O^
|
| Waaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!
|
| *gulp*
|
| That was close.
|
| Nanjo's not going to be happy. The place is a wreck.
|
| Mine~
|
| Oh no you don't little fella. You stay away from the mic.
|
| Do the cameras still work?
|
| Hold on...yeah, looks like we're still good.
|
| MINE~
|
| I said no!
|
| Oh just let him play with the spare one, Dedede.
|
| Believe me Princess you do NOT want that. He'll bring the whole house down instead of just this room.
|
| Mine~
|
| He really wants that mic. Guess he's turned himself into prima donna kirby.
|
| Let's try to salvage this and get one with the show. Lady, thank you for coming, and congratulations on your victory.
|
| ...
|
| Heavy?
|
| What?
|
| I wasn't...well, it works anyway. I meant get Heavy out here.
|
| Oh, right. Comin' right up. Hey...
|
 | No need, I heard Snake just fine. FA blew a hole through the wall with one of those Rays she was throwing around.
|
| Where's Leopold?
|
| Took a Ray under the chin and went out the wall.
|
| So you managed to dodge it?
|
| Nah, it tagged me too. Just not dead on.
|
| Phht, you ain't got a scratch on ya.
|
| Invincible. It's not just for winning Heavy championships.
|
| Nice trick.
|
| I like to think so.
|
| MINE~
|
| Grrr, get yer grubby mits offa me, Kirby!
|
| Uh...want me to take him out back and shake him until he spits Althena up?
|
| Would you?
|
| She'll probably pop out pretty ticked off, kid. You gonna be alright?
|
| Invincible, pocket full of ethers. I'll manage. Only trick will be keeping the puffball from eating me once he spits her out.
|
| Really nice trick.
|
| Here, lure him out with the mic, just don't let him have it.
|
| Good idea. Hey Kirby? Want the mic? Come on, follow me...
|
| MINE~
|
| Well, that was quick and relatively painless.
|
| Makes me wonder how middle's going to explode.
|
| Let's get them out here and find out.
|
 | Hey, is it our turn yet?
|
 | Left a bit. Not that far. Okay, forward and watch out for the debris.
|
| What debris? ACK! *thud*
|
| ...
|
| Uh, why's the kid wearing a blindfold?
|
| No no, it's cool. This old swordsman guy is teaching me how to blindfight, see? So I've got to keep wearing this to get used to the darkness.
|
| I...see.
|
| (Psst, it's so he doesn't embarrass himself staring at Zelda again, isn't it?)
|
| (Oh yeah.)
|
| (Gotta give him an A for effort, at least.)
|
| What are you three talking about?
|
| Oh, nothing.
|
| So, Alice, how about that championship? Alot of folks are saying it's about time.
|
| Well, I don't like to blow my own horn, but yeah. I don't have too much trouble in Middle aside from healers. It feels good to finally make it to the top of the division.
|
| How about you kid? Loss doesn't seem to have you down much.
|
| Nah. I did pretty good for a newcomer, so I'm fine with that. I'm more concerned about making sure my next design is in shape for the next airship race...whenever that's going to be. Maybe I'll have to get one going!
|
| You certainly bounce back quickly. That's impressive for someone so young.
|
| Y-yeah. Th-thanks.
|
| *giggle* Here we go.
|
| Oh for the love of...jeez. Kid, come here.
|
| Huh? Okay.
|
| I'm over here kid.
|
| Yuki watch out for that-
|
| AAAH!! *thud*
|
| Eeek! *thud*
|
| You've gotta be kidding me.
|
| Oh the irony.
|
| Um...I...Sorry...I...
|
| Get. Off.
|
| I'm sure he'd be happy to, Princess, but do you really want to do that on camera?
|
| Snake! Hehehe.
|
| Alright, that's enough from you buddy. Up and out you go.
|
| Whaaa!
|
| Thank you Dedede. Nice to know I can count on one of the men around here. And I think that's enough of Middle. Alice...nice having you.
|
| Oh don't be too hard on him, Zelda. You know teenage boys, and at least his heart's in the right place.
|
| Teenagers. I swear they make six year olds look smooth sometimes.
|
| You're hardly a gentleman yourself, you know.
|
| Did I ever say I was? Come on, let's get the geezer and the sword guy out here and wrap this up.
|
| *sigh* FuSoYa, Dinn, are you out there?
|
 | Of course.
|
 | Give me just a moment...ah, there we are.
|
| Huh, you pick your way over that rubble pretty handily for an old timer.
|
| I live on the moon, it's practically nothing but rubble.
|
| Either of you have anything to say about the outcome?
|
| The sheer breadth of my magical knowledge was sure to lead to victory at some point. This was simply that point.
|
| You seem agitated, my lady. Is something the matter?
|
| Yeah, royal types tend to get a bit testy when they get groped by teenagers.
|
| Get...I see. Shall I track down this lout and give him a sharp lesson in manners, your highness?
|
| That won't be necessary General. Thank you, though.
|
| Trust me, if she wanted him hurt she'd do it herself. Din's Fire hurts like nothing else.
|
| I told you I don't use any fire...
|
| *ahem* Can we refrain from recycling jokes from only last week, gentlemen?
|
| Right, sorry.
|
| My apologies.
|
| Whew, sorry that took so long. Here's your puffball back. Althena nearly ran me out of MP healing, but I finally calmed her down.
|
| Hmm? Oh, it's that little pink thing.
|
| Hii~
|
| Speaking of recycled gags..
|
| 3...2...1...
