Author's Note: I originally planned this to be a serious story as you can feel in the first two paragraphs or so, then I felt like I really needed to relieve stress by writing a comedy. In my opinion what happens is pure hilarity. The main problem happens to be Nightmare and the team he recruits (a little obvious of course). It's not an obnoxious comedy, more or less a pure classic comedy.

Somewhere outside Spain, the unholy terror of darkness once known to the world as Siegfried, known as Nightmare, leaning on the ever dark evil that was the Soul Edge. As his hatred brewed within him as he kneeled in the pouring rain, he thought only of one thing, to get the threesome that defeated him not too long ago as he emerged from the depths of darkness from whence he defeated the ever evil terror known as Inferno. Yet they failed to destroy Soul Edge, only leaving the crippled warrior to fend for himself. The threesome that defeated seemed to mortal and pathetic, but were warrior of the heart, none the less.



Their war cries still rang in his ears as he relived the memory of a short-lived battle.

It was humiliation and pain that could not be felt by anyone else. "Kilik… Maxi… and Xianghua. These are names I shall forget not. I will hunt down your souls and humiliate you in front of innocents of thousands, to mock of you greatly and to humiliate you to an extreme displeasure as I had felt." the fallen warrior stated under his breath, "Revenge will be mine you pitiless fools! I AM NIGHTMARE, THE NIGHT OF ETERNAL HELL!" he then screamed into the stormy sky. Far from that very place as Nightmare spoke, was the very people he was tormented of. Kilik, Maxi, Xianghua had just arrived in the well known Athens, Greece. But they weren't here on their quest to destroy Soul Edge as one may presume…

"Alright guys, let's hit it from the top! 1 2 3 4!", yelled Kilik as he pounded on the strings of his guitar and the hard music then ensued as Xianghua began to sing, "From the top of Mount Olympus, to the deck of Cervantes's ship, we gonna kick your ass!". The music played for a good five minutes then the song came to a close. "Thank you! Thank Athens, woooo!" Xianghua yelled into her microphone. Everyone in the crowd yelled and cheered enthusiastically and some people randomly yelled things like "I love you Kilik!!!" "Will you marry me Xianghua!?!?" "Maxi is the greatest drummer for, like, ever!!!! Woooo!!!". The trio walked to the backstage and were instantly handed towels.

Their manager, Heihachi gave an instant applause and slithered up to them in his snazzy business suit, but still wearing his gauntlets. "Why crew that show was magnificent!" as he gave a snake-like grin, Maxi mopped up his sweat and began to wring out his towel, letting the droplets hit the floor. "Well we earned a very generous amount of ticket money this concert, why I never would have thought the ex-warriors could have become such a big hit band, never thought you were THIS talented, a bwahahahaa", outspokenly laughed and the three all gave looks of disgust. "Well I must go see the NAMCO record dealer, remember, I still own you for the rest of your life because of this contract you signed!", smirked as he proudly began to walk away. Maxi, not missing an opportunity, quickly stuck out his foot and looked innocent as the evil business man tripped over it. "I'm sorry, my mistake"

These three a band!?!? And Heihachi as their manager!?!? Well things are pretty weird enough, and what is Nightmare planning? AND WHAT IS THE BAND'S NAME!? I NEVER FOUND OUT! Maybe I should… they sounded pretty decent to me... I mean I could go to a good concert every once and awhile right?

"Hey, stick to the script bucko!", Kilik roared.

OK, yeesh, anyways, the answer to these questions and more next time on,
