The Multiverse Grand Prix

Prologue – Meet the Racers!

"Good morning, Crime City!" No Limit bellowed into his microphone. His hair was black, messy, and spilled everywhere. He wore a black jacket without a zipper but with a hood, white trim skimming on the jacket. On the inside of the jacket was a jumpsuit without sleeves. He had a white belt, boots, gloves, a black thin-strip mask, black goggles with a white strap just above the mask, and a black fedora hat atop his head. Strapped to his back was a long katana with a dark green hilt and guard shaped into a swirl in a light blue sheath and a black shotgun. On the torso of the jumpsuit were the letters "N" and "L" that intercepted with each other. "Welcome, welcome to the Multiverse Grand Prix!"

No Limit made a grand gesture with his hands to the hundreds of thousands of spectators sitting on stands that have come to view this extravagant event. "And what a fine day it is to hold the first day," the mysterious Mystery smirked. At the age of fourteen, Mystery had emerald green eyes, and long, flowing pink hair that hung lazily over her shoulders. She simply wore a pink sleeveless shirt, black jeans, and a pair of strap-on black gloves with claws upon each of her fingers. You might think having pale skin was creepy; not only did this girl have rather pale skin, but she also possessed a red-furred tail and cat ears on her head.

"I'm relatively surprised you agreed to be my co-host," No Limit muttered.

"You retconned me again, remember?" Mystery grumbled as she held up a character bio sheet list.

"Er, right. Of course! I didn't provide this to give an announcement to the readers," No Limit said awkwardly, fumbling with his microphone in his hands. "Anyway, the Multiverse Grand Prix is a race held every ten years in Crime City, celebrating its history and many citizens that were brought together by – well, fate, I guess."

"In other words, characters NL likes," Mystery whispered into her microphone, winking.

"Thank you, cousin," No Limit deadpanned, then pulled on a large grin for the audience. "All our racers are from various places located all over the world, and for the lucky team that wins this every-decade grand race will win," No Limit gestured to a massive, shining, golden trophy on a stand for the first place winner; it had three jewels (red, blue, and green) embedded in the center; and the trophy simply radiated with incredible energy that made everyone around it feel warm, "the Multiverse Grand Prix Trophy of the World!"

The audience exploded into applause. "That's right!" Mystery shouted. "This trophy will bring honor, fame, and bragging rights for ten years to the winning team of the race! As does the hometowns and/or companies they represent."

"Speaking of them, let's introduce our racers!" No Limit said. He pointed up to a large television screen across from the audience. The screen lit up brightly, and various personal shots of people zoomed all around on it. Finally, they lined up in straight lines and groups.

"First up is Team Stardom Key!" Mystery said. Three pictures appeared on screen of a young girl, a black duck, and a pink pig. "This team consists of Rika Itonami, young daughter of Sora the Keyblade Wielder; Porky Pig, legendary Looney Tune pig; and...what's his name again?"

"Daffy Duck," No Limit hissed.

"Daffy Duck!" Mystery shouted. "The – third member of Team Stardom Key! And, serving as their pit crew, are Yakko, Wakko and Dot Warner. May God have mercy on their souls."

"Poor, poor bastards," No Limit sighed, shaking his head. "Next team!"

"Now it's Team Path to Life!" Mystery said. Four pictures appeared of a teenage boy, an Italian plumber with a green hat, a green dinosaur, and strange little mushroom man. "Making the team is Kuro Higure, son of Riku the Wielder of Darkness; Yoshi, long-tongued dinosaur; Toad, item-using...Toad; and Luigi, under appreciated brother to much more famous Mario! Supporting this team are Mokona Modoki, Dexter, and Sakura Kinomoto.

"My turn to list a team!" No Limit smiled as three more pictures appear, this time of another boy, a white duck, a goofy-looking dog. "Now, many of you may not know of this team leader – because I have not introduced him yet."

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Mystery asked nervously.

"Yeah, I don't think I'll ever get around to using him anyway," No Limit shrugged. "Team Three Together! Meet for the first time Ashi Kiyomeru, child of – um, I'm not too sure." No Limit frowned and scratched his head. "His story is a bit of a mystery. But his teammates are much more well-known! Donald Duck and Goofy!"

The audience thundered brilliantly. "NL thought you might like that," Mystery said with a little smile.

"Their pit crew will be the Powerpuff Girls," No Limit added. "Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup for you who live under a rock."

"Next team!" Mystery shouted as two pictures of a strange-looking koala and a robot appeared.

"Team Bending Experiment!" No Limit boomed. "Its racers are Experiment 'Stitch' 626, illegal genetic experiment; and Bender Bending Rodriguez, a bending unit with a thirst for alcohol!"

"Thank God this T-rated," Mystery muttered.

"Their pit crew features Lilo Pelekai, Jumba Jookiba, Wendy Pleakley, Philip J. Fry, Turanga Leela, and…" No Limit paused to read over the teams' list, "the Professor."

"Up next is Team Hitchhiker!" Mystery shouted as pictures of a calm-looking black man and a hip, cool man appeared on-screen. "The two representatives of this team are Ford Prefect, hitchhiker and writer for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; and Zaphod Beeblebrox, one of our fair city's nominees for mayor."

"Help us all if he does win that election," No Limit declared.

"And their pit crew make up of a Arthur Dent, Trisha 'Trillian' McMillan, Eddie the computer, and Marvin the Paranoid Android," Mystery concluded.

"Here comes Team Mystery, Inc.!" No Limit grinned as three images of a beatnik, a Great Dane dog, and large red demon man zoomed on screen. "This team's pretty interesting as it makes up of Norville 'Shaggy' Rogers, a food-loving hippie; Hellboy, a man from – hell; and, of course, the ever-lovable, say it with me now."

"SCOOBY-DOOBY-DOO!" everyone screamed.

"Heh, and their pit crew are Virgil Hawkins, Richard 'Richie' Foley, and Kirby," Mystery smiled.

"Moving on!" No Limit said as three more images came onto the television screen, this time of a scruffy-looking pilot, a tall and intimidating creature with shaggy fur, and a man with a HUGE chin. "Team Army of the Stars! Made up of Han Solo, captain of the Millennium Falcon; Chewbacca, a Wookiee and co-pilot; and Ashley J. Williams, the ultimate badass."

The audience all burst out laughing. "Yeah, I don't blame you," Mystery smirked.

"And their pit crew is made up of Popeye and…holy crap, Princess Leia Organa?!" No Limit gasped, but then shrugged. "Eh, whatever."

Suddenly, a large horn blared throughout the stands. "Ooh, sorry, folks," Mystery said, "but it looks like time has run out and we didn't even get to introduce all the teams."

"But, don't worry! We'll provide you a team sheet right now," No Limit said, and began waving farewell along with Mystery. "Until next time!"
