The fellow folks from Fire Emblem seven and eight curiously walked around a stage and they each took a seat in front of it.

And elder boy with long black hair stood up on the stage once everyone had seated. This boy was RICK, The Amazing Tactician with The Amazing Capitalized name, or so he liked to call himself. The others just referred to him as RICK. He cleared his throat rather rudely,

"Ehem, EHEM! ACHEM! Ehem, Erm… AHEM!"

The others silenced.

"Now, if you all will turn your short attention span to this chart, I will explain why I called you over here." He pulled out a pointing stick and flipped to the right page on his easel, revealing a line graph.

"Ever since we used the warp staves to teleport between your world and mine, my money has 'somehow' disappeared." He pointed to where the line on the graph fell to the bottom, "Completely!"

A few people in the crowd twiddled their thumbs and pretended that they weren't paying attention.

"And every, single, one of you, is going to help pay me back. My bank account is a negative number!" he sighed, "With a… lot of zeroes…."

The audience sympathized, "Aww…"

RICK, who didn't believe that they pitied him inserted a video tape and said, "Well, just so you all know, this doesn't just affect me."

The first scene showed Joshua up in a tree and a dog barking from down below. Except that dog wasn't just a dog, it had Marissa's face.

Gerik nudged Marissa in the ribs, "Well, I always knew you'd be a bitch."

Marissa glared at him and raised her sword, but the next scene stopped her. It showed Joshua in the hospital.

"Well that was obvious."

Right next to Joshua's bed was Gerik grinning at him. Marissa chased Gerik out of the tent yelling, "That was obvious too!"

The next scene showed L'Archel being run over by a train. Then, it showed Rennac in an elevator with a surgeon and an unconscious L'archel in a hospital bed.

"Oh no, this is taking too long." said the hospital surgeon.

A light of hope was in Rennac's eyes, "What do you mean?"

"If we don't get to level five in five minutes, we'll loose the patient!"

Rennac cocked his head, "Is that so?" he walked over to the elevator buttons and stabbed his dagger straight into it. He then calmly walked back over to where he was originally standing.

The next scene showed L'Archel talking to the surgeon after surgery. Rennac looked slightly displeased.

"I'm afraid I have some dreadful news." The surgeon stated.

Rennac smiled again.

L'Archel asked, "The surgery was successful?"

The surgeon laughed, "I said dreadful, you fool. Anyway, we had to replace your clogged heart with a baked potato; you have two minutes left to live."

Twenty minutes later

L'Archel asked for the umpteenth time, "Now? How 'bout now?"

Rennac was biting his teeth nervously. The surgeon said, "Wow this is amazing, you should be dead!"

L'Archel laughed, "I'm a main character stupid, no matter if I die or how many times I die, the epilogue just says that I'm injured, I can't die!"

RICK stopped the tape and Rennac yelled out, "Oh, the unspeakable horror!"

RICK pulled out the tape, "Now there's every single one of your futures on this tape, so if you all aren't motivated, you can come see what your future will be like if you don't help me!"

He put a flash light under his chin and began laughing manically.

Everyone was silent.

"Then be off!" he yelled fiercely.

The others groaned and slowly walked through the portal to the real world.

Sain walked with Kent along the side walk of New York. "Soo… What do we do now?"

Kent picked up a blown away newspaper. "Tactician RICK said that we could find these, 'money making jobs' in theses 'newspapers'."

He pointed at an article and said, "Waiter."

Sain shook his head, "You only get paid 150 er… 'dollars' a day, I'm pretty sure that's bad."

Sain pointed to one and said, "Male Strippers."

Kent's eyes went wild, "You can't be serious!"

Sain smirked, "Look at the pay, 300 dollars an hour. I' pretty sure that's good."

Kent shook him, "Think about Sain, your life, think about it!"

Sain grinned and looked up at the sky, "Takin' off my shirt as pretty girls shove dollars in my pants," he smiled, "I loooove this world…"

AT A RANDOM CARNIVAL

Erk grinned broadly. "Now ladies and gentlemen, and—argh, gosh-what IS THAT! ARUGH, i-it's HIDEOUS!"

The audience that had gathered around Erk paused and looked around. Eliwood scowled,

"What, Erk!"

Erk looked as though he was relived, "It's nothing, just saw your face."

Three syringes flew into Erk's butt. He flinched and yelled, "What da? Urgh…"

Eliwood smirked, "That was just enough tranquilizer to knock out fifty elephants. Sweet dreams."

Erk fell over and Eliwood soon dragged him away and threw him into "The Pit of Obsessed Fan Girls", so naturally Ephraim decided to take over.

"Oookay, anyway today we have two very exciting exhibits for you, Lucius the she-man."

The audience seemed uninterested; they were Americans, after all.

Ephraim looked annoyed, "Did I mention that there was no plastic surgery involved?"

Several gasps of shock were heard throughout the audience. Several kids pointed and stared at the oblivious smiling Lucius.

"And something so diabolical, so evil, so disturbingly cruel and unjust that people with weak stomachs should leave the carnival right NOW."

Ephraim laughed evily and finally announced,

"Marcus in a thong!"

Louise smiled at all the young children. Nils and all the other kindergarteners looked up at her anxiously.

"Umm… I am your substitute teacher today and I hope we make a large amount of progress with the bow, so you all can learn how to defend yourselves from bandits and other things that may want to kill you when you're older." She said rather bluntly.

All the kids stared with slack jaws. One kid fell over.

One kid with three teeth said, "But, weee're supposed to learn our A B C's. And you're also supposed to read to us today."

Louise cocked her head, "Read? I don't know how to read."

The kids gasped.

Louise headed towards the door, "Umm… I have to go to the bathroom, I might be a while."

She walked down the hall so quickly she didn't notice Heath walking the opposite way with Hyperion.

Heath stopped at the classroom door. "Hmm… this looks like a good place to drop you off for a meaningless amount of time while I go get my hair re-colored."

Hyperion screeched, "What will I eat?"

Heath pushed Hyperion through the door and said, "I'm sure you'll find something small, petite, and helpless to devour."

Hyperion looked at all the little children and licked his lips, "Ho, ho, ho."

The kids hopefully looked at Hyperion, "Umm… Santa Claus?"

He shook his head, "No, no, no."

Louise picked up a book from the public bathroom basket and walked around the bathroom reading it. It was titled: Learn How to Read in 20 minutes as your Kindergartner students are devoured by a Rabid Wyvern.

Louise walked slowly into the bloody classroom. Hyperion was being taken away by police with giant monster handcuffs and the only survivor was Nils.

Louise asked Nils, "What the heck happened?"

Nils sobbed, "It was horrible, limbs flying everywhere and- I am so scarred for life."

Louise was apparently ignoring him, "Will I still get paid?"

END OF "THE BEGINNING"

RICK cleared his throat again. "Man, I must have some nasty fever… Ah, Anyhoo, that was the start to a great new story! I'm not too good with intros, but I'm trying to make it humorous and enjoyable."

RICK paused to hear a smart remark from Erk. Nothing. "Erk?" he called out. RICK smacked his forehead, "I forgot! Erk is still trapped in the pit of obsessed fan girls, silly me!"

RICK looked around, "Awkward…"

Jaffar popped out of nowhere.

RICK smiled, "Ah, Jaffar, just the person I wanted to see! Why don't you tell them what happens next?"

Jaffar, "…"

RICK, "Hard of hearing?"

Silence.

"Not a man of many words?"

Silence.

"Forget you!" RICK storms off.

Nino skipped over to where Jaffar was standing, "Thanks giving me the spotlight Jaffar!"

Jaffar smiled and pulled out a book titled, The Great Big Book of How to Make anyone Disappear.

He then began writing, "Annoy the crap out of him" under RICK's name.

Nino grabbed the microphone, "Anyway next chapter is the FED up chapter It's really weird…"
