Game Crossover Christmas Carol (With Anime as audience):
N/A: Yeah, I know it's not christmas! But this is some sort of late story I come up with. If you know DeviantArt's artist, LeadbyFAITH, well, her character will appear in this story. This is my own version of the Christmas Carol. So enjoy and review.
Chapter 1: Start:
At the huge London theatre on Christmas Eve, massive Anime characters were entering the theatre. The sign said "Game Crossover: Christmas Carol." Goku noticed this and turned to Usagi, who was more confused than he was.
"What's a Christmas Carol?" asked Usagi.
"I dunno" said Goku "but it may be fun to watch."
Meanwhile once inside, Luffy and Naruto were fighting over the popcorn. The bag ripped and flew into the air and landed on Sasuke and Vegeta, who were not very pleased. Guilmon was waiting for something and when Renamon shows up, they seem to blush somehow. Spike was talking to Yoh. And when Gohan opened the doors, they all burst in.
Once everyone took their seats, a spotlight came on. Although no-one came on yet, a shadow hand came out.
"Hello!" it said in a stupid voice "What do you think of Sasuke?" And he did some raspberries. It was Naruto, doing a shadow puppet.
"NARUTO!!!" every anime hero shouted and Naruto was pushed back to his seat by Goten.
Suddenly, the show began and the curtains opened. The audience went silent as it showed a room with two men with big moustaches and one wore a red hat and dressing gown and the other a green hat and dressing gown. They were sitting by the fire. The red one noticed the audience and sat up.
"And of a Merry Christmas to you all!" he said making the audience feel welcomed "what a wonderful place to meet. Welcome to the household of the kindest and the most generous man in town, Cloud Strife."
"Cloud Strife? Since when did he become kind and generous?" Luffy asked.
The green man smiled. "You're all surprised that we called Cloud kind and generous? Well, you can take his word from it."
"Who are we?" asked the red clothed man "The Mario Bros, of course. Mario and Luigi."
"And we and alongside Sonic and Knuckles, which you will see in a minute, will tell you the story about Cloud" Luigi said.
"But isn't Cloud always that jolly?" asked Yoh.
"True…" Mario said "Mr. Strife isn't all jolly. There was a time back that he was as mean and miserable as the counting house which he conducted his business. The offices of Strife and Timehero. We'll leave you then but Sonic and Knuckles can fill you in. Ta-ta."
The threate went black and it reappeared in an old counting house where we see a young man with blonde spiky hair at his desk counting his money and a young bandicoot with red long hair by another desk writing. Sonic and Knuckles were by one end of the stage.
"Hey. Did the Mario Bros tell you to meet us? Welcome. I'm Sonic and this is Knuckles."
"Yo! And as you see the counting house is called Strife and Timehero right?" said Knuckles.
"Now Link Timehero is dead to begin with" said Sonic "but Strife never paid to have the name painted on the office sign. We now begin the story of Game Crossover: A Christmas Carol."
Then Sonic and Knuckles entered the scene and towards the working bandicoot. They hear some singing outside. Sonic and Knuckles urged the bandicoot to listen and he did. The man at the desk saw this and glared.
"CRASH BANDICOOT!" he yelled, waking Crash from his senses and Sonic and Knuckles to hid. "A pretty good way to be wasting my time! And all this Christmas stuff, bah, humbug! You'd be an old fashioned popper if you don't tend to your job!"
"You won't charge me, Mr Cloud Strife sir" Crash said "Not on Christmas Eve."
"Oh wouldn't I?" Cloud slammed his hand on his desk, "BACK TO WORK!" Suddenly a piece of coal rolled under Crash's table. Cloud spotted this and got up to Crash's desk and picked it up. "And what's this? Stealing our coal are we?"
"For the stove, sir" Crash said "It's so damp and chilly in here."
"After sneaking in lump by lump" Knuckles said to the audience "and popping in the fire where the old burst is turned… BRR!"
"Poor Crash. Cloud is giving him a hard time" said Agumon.
"Next thing, you'd be picking my pockets!" Cloud said.
There was a knock on the door.
"Answer it, Bandicoot" Cloud said as he went back to his desk.
Crash answered the door to see a fox with a brown jacket and green pants. He seemed to be in a cheerful manner.
"Oh hello, Mr. McCloud. How are you're feeling?"
"Couldn't be better, Crash!" Fox said. "And Merry Christmas to you and your family!"
"Thank you. And Merry Christmas to you too." Crash smiled.
"Humbug!" Cloud snorted.
"Humbug? Oh uncle. Are you still counting your money?" Fox asked as he walked over to him.
"I'll give you one reason why, McCloud. Christmas is just a waste of time! And you just waste your money on trash!" Cloud snapped.
"Oh, Don't be so angry, Uncle. I think you've been in this office for some time now. How about you could come to our Christmas Dinner tomorrow?" Fox offered.
"Christmas dinner, huh? NO WAY!" Cloud snapped. "You know how these things can't make me digest the food!"
Knuckles was so angry that he tried to attack him but Sonic held him back.
"Just think about it Uncle. But I do believe in you. And a Merry Christmas to you too" Fox said as he left a wealth behind and waved farewell to Crash and leaves.
"Bah, fool!" Cloud snapped.
There was another knock on the door. Cloud opened it to reveal Charmander and Treecko outside.
"And what do you two want?" asked Cloud.
"Mr Strife sir, we are from the Pokemon Helpers" said Charmander.
"Most of our people are working in workhouses and we were giving out money to help them. So we came to ask you" said Treecko.
"Aren't there any warehouses?" asked Cloud.
"Well… yes, but… if we don't help them, they'll die." Charmander said.
"So let them die, that's all I care!" Cloud snapped "Let the poor starve, the sooner the better! Their deaths would serve to decrease the surplus population! Now leave!"
"But…" Treecko said but Cloud toss the wealth on him and slammed the door. Charmander let Treecko away.
Cloud turned to Crash.
"Do you know what the problem with this world, Bandicoot? And what ever it is, I hate it."
"Yes" Sonic said to the audience "Cloud was a mean and cruel man. Some say the most despicable to ever walk the earth. The only real pleasure he had was counting up his money. Keeping it to himself was his only love. But at 9pm…"
Crash looked at the clock and smiled. He closed the book. Cloud looked at his pocket watch.
"Ah, two minutes early."
Crash stopped what he was doing and went back to walk.
"No it didn't!" Yugi snapped.
"But forget the two minutes, Bandicoot. You may go." Cloud said.
Crash got off his seat. "Oh thank you sir. Ermm… sir…" Crash said as he walked to his desk.
"What?" asked Cloud.
"Is it OK, if I take a day off tomorrow? Tomorrow is Christmas sir" Crash offered.
Most of the audience stayed silent, hoping for Cloud's answer to be positive.
"Fine!" Cloud sighed "but be here the morning the day after, got it!"
"Oh thank you sir" Crash said as he put on his coat of his chair "And a Merry Christmas sir!" And he left the building.
"Bah!" Cloud said and then put the money into the box and rattles it. He then found out something. "Sounds like one is missing."
Sonic gulped and held his coat pocket. "Uh-Oh!
"If one is missing, I doubt Bandicoot for this I will" said Cloud as he closed the box.
"Well, that was mean" Goku said "blaming someone else, not his own".
"I know…" Guilmon agreed "He's the stingiest man in town".
Cloud walked out the building and looked at the sign.
"Ah you're lucky to be dead as an tornado, Link" Cloud said "Not bothered with Christmas anymore. I'm lucky too" he looked at his box "Glad to have a business partner like you huh?" he laughed meanly and walked away.
He reached up to his house. Sonic and Knuckles found him.
"There was something strange that night" said Knuckles.
"It was when Cloud reached for the door knocked" said Sonic.
When Cloud reached to the door, he was in shock that the door knob's face turned to a man with blonde hair, elf ears and a green hat.
"Link… Link Timehero… Dead these 7 years…" Cloud gasped "Oh… why have you come to haunt me". He turned away. Once he turned to look again, the face disappeared. "Just my imagination… Bah… ghosts…" he walked into his house "Humbug…"
"Didn't look like Humbug to me" Knuckles whispered to Sonic.
"Well, Cloud got into his room and sat by the fire" said Sonic.
Cloud was seen in his room eating cold soup, but then the fire gone out and Cloud look in horror as he hears something, like chains.
"That night when Cloud was in his room, he heard the sound of rattling chains come leaking in the room" said Knuckles.
"And while he sat there shivering in the ice of inner fear, the ghost of Cloud's partner, Link Timehero DID appear" Sonic said.
Just then, a young man with the same blonde hair, ears and hat appeared wearing a green tunic, white shirt, tights and brown boots appeared. He is all wrapped in chains.
"Cloud Strife" the stranger said.
"Who's there?" asked Cloud as Sonic and Knuckles entered.
"In life, I was your partner, Link Timehero" said the ghost.
"Ridiculous" said Cloud "You're not even real."
"How can you doubt your senses?" Link yelled and he yelled a ghostly theme which scared Cloud, Sonic and Knuckles. Sonic and Knuckles hit in a chest while Cloud is left with Link.
"Link! It is you. What happened to you? And what do you want of me?" Cloud said in a scared voice.
"Much" Link said "I have walked the earth in death. That is because I wasted my life."
"Wasted? How, dear old buddy Link?" asked Cloud.
"I helped out with money, that's what!" Link snarled. "and so I wear these chains of grief and misery I have in life. But just because my chains are strong and long, yours will be even stronger and longer. You must escape, escape my fate, repent your selfish ways, or you too will carry your chains behind you".
"But Link, you're only doing business in life as I do now!" Cloud said.
"Business? No, Cloud. Mankind should have been my business." Link said "I am here to help you escape my fate. Change your ways."
"How?" asked Cloud.
"Tonight… You will be haunted by three spirits" said Link.
"Oooohhhhhh…" The Anime characters said.
"I… I think I rather not…" said Cloud.
"Without their help" said Link "you cannot escape my fate. So you have to meet them. The first one will arrive when the bell tolls one. The second arrives at two and the last one at three."
Link then turned around.
"Where are you're going, Link?" asked Cloud.
"There are other ghosts out there that had chains and none free. So long, Cloud Strife, and repent your ways" Link said and he disappeared.
Feeling tired, Cloud got into his gown and went to sleep.
Then the curtains fell and the anime characters went to get some refreshments, which was a good thing because Naruto, Luffy and Goku are hungry again.
