When Worlds Collide
A Happy Tree Friends/Pokemon Crossover Story
By Awkward Vulpix.
Authors Notes: I'm canceling "Total Drama Legendaries". I'm just not interested anymore, and the concept just seemed stupid and nonsensical. This is my good idea now. It makes far more sense, I'd think.
In the middle of a forest, a girl woke up. She hardly remembered a thing; all she remembered was the smell of disinfectants and strange creatures wearing long white coats talking about her. What did they call her? Subject a-5? No, that wasn't it. Vulpix. That's what it was. Slowly, groggily, she stood up. But that didn't make sense, she thought. Whenever she got to stand up, it was always on four legs, never two. She lost her balance and fell backwards, groaning.
Outside that very same forest, two people were arguing. One of them was a dark blue fox, wearing a leather jacket. On the back of the jacket was a large, flaming skull, and underneath it the words "Live and Learn" were written. The other one was a sky blue anteater, wearing nothing more than a pocket protector (Which was curious, since he was not wearing a shirt) and a badly scotched-taped pair of glasses.
"Come on, Sniffles!" yelled the fox.
"Rufus, I'm not going in there. That's suicide and you know it." Retorted the anteater.
"Sniffles, this could be our ticket outta this hellhole. What have you got to lose?"
"My life, for one. I'd rather not die by starvation, or get eaten by wild animals, or any other number of horrible things."
"What, you'd just rather get tortured to death by ants? Come on!"
"Even if you gave me access to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, I wouldn't go."
"Fine, see you later, deadbeat!"
Meanwhile, the girl had decided to catch dinner. A small bird, to be exact. Nobody would care about one bird, right? Suddenly, her sensitive ears picked up a noise. Someone was walking towards her. That simply wouldn't do, so she hid behind a tree. She hadn't quite figured out how to stand on two legs, but she could use the tree as a support.
"Okay, where's the exit?" the unknown person asked.
She shifted her feet slightly. Unfortunately, it was exactly where she had thrown the dead bird, and she yelled and slipped to the ground. The other person looked at her in wonder.
"What the hell? Who the hell are you? What the hell are you?" he had noticed she had six tails, and he had never seen anything like it before.
With a growl, she got to her feet. She still felt slightly wonky, but was getting used to it.
"Hey, hey, I'm not gonna hurt you. Who are you?"
"Uh…" She was at a loss for words. Literally, as she had never spoken English before. But somehow, she felt as if she could answer his question. "Uh…I don't know who I am. I just ended up here, and I don't remember a thing."
"Do you have a name?"
" Where I came from, they always called me 'subject A-5'".
"Uh… that isn't going to work. How about…Taily?"
"Taily?"
"Yeah, you have six tails. I thought it was appropriate, you know?"
"Uh…Where am I?"
"Welcome to Happy Tree Town!"
Since Happy Tree Town just acquired a new citizen, Rufus decided to postpone his escape plan and show her around.
Rufus yelled, "Hey, Flaky!" towards a red porcupine with a serious dandruff problem.
"What?" she answered.
"New member of the group."
"Uh…" Flaky was very shy, so she shuffled backwards a little bit. "Sh-she has six tails…"
Rufus reassured her, "I know it's weird, but I think you'll get used to it."
Flaky slowly put out her hand. "Uh…hi, I guess…"
"Hi! You're Flaky, huh?"
"Yeah…I have a dandruff problem…" This was always an embarrassment when she met a new Tree Friend. The damn shampoos those raccoon brothers sold her never worked…
"Hey, don't sweat it. I'm Taily, I guess."
"Huh…I guess that fits…"
Suddenly, Taily realized something. She had never learned what the blue foxes name was! "Hey, what's your name!"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you? Sorry about that. I'm Rufus."
"I like you…"
"…Sure…"
"This guy is Britty." Rufus stated matter-of-factly.
"I say, she has a mutation! How strange…"
"Britty…
"What? I'm just saying, six tails is not natural!"
"I'm not from around here."
"Ah, that explains it." Britty was still confused. Here was a girl with six tails, and Rufus didn't seem to care. How very strange indeed.
Before Rufus could introduce Taily to another citizen, disaster struck. A screeching tire noise erupted from somewhere, and Taily got scared.
"What was that?" she asked in horror.
"I guess Lumpy's brakes failed."
"WHO!"
Before Rufus could say anything, the truck Lumpy was driving ran him over, turning him into a rather ugly bloody smear.
Taily stood for a few seconds, unable to react. Then she realized what just happened and screamed in horror. Then, it was her turn. The runaway truck hit a stop sign, and a shard of it blasted through her chest. At first, she felt nothing, but then she felt a hideous searing pain, worse than any pain she had ever felt. She wasn't able to scream, since it blasted through her windpipe, so all she could do was cough up a large amount of blood. Before this on it's own could kill her, Lumpy managed to steer around, but lost control, causing the truck to tip on it's side. The last thing Taily saw before she died was the insignia on the front bumper: FJORD.
She was sure she was dead. There simply was no way to survive such a thing. She felt as if she was floating around in nothingness, when she felt a strange tingling sensation where the shard of stop sign had stabbed her, and a lesser tingling over the rest of her body, where the truck crushed her. What was this? She had no idea; all she knew was this must be that "Heaven" thing those people in that strange place were talking about. And then she woke up in a hospital bed. She immediately recognized the smell of bleach, from the lab. A middle aged, balding bear walked in.
"Hello," he said. "I'm Doctor Bill. I think I should explain what just happened to you, shouldn't I?"
"You see, in this town, nobody ever dies. You can be completely disintegrated, blown up, burned – it doesn't matter. You always end up back in this hospital. I assume you just died somehow? You look new."
"H-have you ever died?"
"Ah, yes, I remember my first death like it was yesterday. I got blown up when my Cadillac caught fire."
"Oh."
"Hey, it's nothing to worry about. Now, we keep a database of how people die here, so I'll need your name and cause of death."
"Uh…I'm Taily…I died when a truck hit a stop sign and a piece of it hit me, and then the same truck ran me over. And Rufus died when it ran him over."
"Ah, Rufus. I should tell him you're okay."
"So…stuff like that'll happen to me a lot?"
"Oh yes. Sometimes it will be quick, and other times it could last quite long. But no need to worry about things that haven't happened yet."
In another universe entirely, a tall, lanky, well-dressed human man with a pencil moustache was yelling at an overweight subordinate in a white lab coat.
"What do you MEAN the teleporter got rid of subject A-5!"
"I'm sorry, sir, but when we turned it on, she didn't go into the other pod, but just disappeared."
"HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED!" the man yelled in rage at the top of his lungs. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH THIS COST ME! WE COULD HAVE POKEMON ARTIFICIALLY USE MOVES THAT THEY NORMALLY COULDN'T! TELEPORT! ROCK SMASH! ANYTHING! WE COULD BE RICH! AND YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU LOST ANOTHER TEST SUBJECT!"
"S-sir, it was out of our control. We had no idea the transporter would do that." The man was sweating, afraid of what his boss would do to him with a fifth failure.
"Hey, don't worry! We can always try again!"
"R-really?" the goon could hardly believe his ears. Normally, the boss would not be nearly this understanding.
"Ha ha, no." The boss grabbed the goon's head and smashed it into the door repeatedly, emphasizing each slam with a word. "This- project- cost- me- five- fucking- hundred- thousand- dollars!" He grabbed the scientists collar and whispered, "Fail me again, and I'll throw you off of the highest cliff I can find!"
"I-I think we might be able to get her back…" the goon's nose was bleeding, and his forehead had a large bruise.
The boss paused. "Really?"
"If we could use the transporter ourselves, we could get her back, and use it for interdimensional travel instead of teleportation."
"Brilliant! We'll be even richer than we already could have been!"
"Unfortunately, the teleporter was destroyed, so we'll need some time to fix it."
"No matter, no matter." All the man could think about was the large pool of money he could be swimming in once the teleporter was working. "Just hurry up with fixing it! Oh, I can hardly wait!"
Well, there was the first chapter of my story. Who is this strange man working on artificial moves? How does Happy Tree Town work? What will happen next? Find out next time! Please leave a review; it really isn't that hard. Awkward Vulpix, over and out!
