Universal Runners: Countdown II 2014
Opening
Let's get this party started with Universal Runners: Countdown II 2014! Now here are your hosts, the Universal Runners themselves!
In the Mid-Zone Lounge of Fils-Ame Moffitt School, the host of this year's Countdown, namely the Universal Runners cast, Jordan, Itzal (in his real-life form, Tony Clark), Zeus (in his real-life form, Professor Oak), Calla, Kani, Bren, Andre, and Layla are sitting on the sofa, now ready to start the New Year Countdown special.
"Hey, readers! Welcome to Countdown II 2014!" Jordan greeted. "We are so excited to host this year's Countdown because we've got a lot to show for all of you."
"Yeah, 2013 may be bumpy and fun, but 2014 is going to be more fun and better," Tony said. "It's been a long year since Universal Runners have been released and boy, you guys can't stop reading our adventures, especially ToonSchool."
"Also, I would like to give a special shout out to RunnerAwaker and my home country, the Philippines. They have been gone through a lot with the recent tradegies this year such as the terrible Zamboanga crisis, the Bohol earthquake, and the great storm Haiyan, also known as Bagyong Yolanda in my country, that caused many destruction and casualties in Visayas," Bren said. "Nevertheless, because of your support and the strength the Filipinos carried, they managed to survive thanks to your support to the survivors. So I would like to say, thank you."
"Wow, that's sweet Bren. Love to see how much a person care for their homeland," Calla said. "So for the Countdown this year, what are we, like, gonna do for our readers?"
"Well, not only we're going down tonight in the dancefloor and play minigames with our guests, we're going to show you guys what's coming in RunnerAwaker and NashWalker's fics next year," Jordan explained.
"Not only that, Andre and Layla will show us the never before seen bloopers of every UR episode released so far," Kani said. "Right, guys?"
"Yeah, and they are funny, we kid you not," Andre said. "We can't wait to show them to you!"
"And of course, like last year, there will be some performances of some megahit songs of this year and previous years," Layla put in.
"Plus, the last fic announced in the last Countdown, Data Stream, will be released during the Countdown! So, to all The Amazing Spiez! fans out there, don't fret, there's more me and lot of OC in the world of Cyberspace coming real soon," Tony added.
"In short in all you're all in for a real New Year's treat," Jordan said. "I'll bet this party'll be even better than last year's!"
"This is going to be a great party! I can't wait to start!" Bren said in excitement.
All of a sudden, the doors to the lounge burst open and there stand a bunch of people with their hair all frizzy and puffed up, and looking very angry, much to the Runners' shock.
"What the?," Jordan said. "Our guests! What are you all doing here?"
The guests all clamored in and started complaining all at once, about something.
"Hey guys, hold on," Jordan said, trying to calm everyone down, but everyone just kept complaining. Finally she screamed, "SHUT UUUUUPPPP!"
The room went dead quiet, as she asked, "Now what's going on here? One at a time."
"Why don't you ask that cousin of yours," a girl looking a lot like Jordan said pointing at Bren.
"And that Pokemon of his," said an African-American girl, pointing at Oak.
"Yeah, he told us that he was gonna take pictures of us for the Countdown," said a Native American boy, pointing at Bren
"And when we all posed for the picture, he told that old guy's Rotom, to use Discharge on us before snapping the pic," a blue haired boy said. At this, the UR cast all turned and glared at Bren, and Rotom, who had appeared beside him.
"Bren," Jordan snarled. The two grinned sheepishly.
"Oh, come on it was just a joke, nothing personal. We were just playing around," Bren said. Everyone continued to glare venomously at them.
However, as they are about to charge at him, Jordan stops them and says, "NOBODY, BUT NOBODY HURT OR PUNISH MY COUSIN!"
"Huh, thanks cuz," Bren said in relief. "I knew yo-"
"I didn't finished. I said "Nobody but nobody hurt you...", I didn't say "I'm not going to punish you, my style"," Jordan said as she points at the computer with the ULO game active on the screen. "Can you excuse me and my cousin? We're going to Unitas so I can do something for him."
"Oh, come on!" Bren groaned as he was dragged away by Jordan. "Not another skill training! I don't want to be the trai-"
After Jordan and Bren left, the hosts decided to continue as Oak said, "Uh, while Jordan sorts out her cousin, I think it's time to move on with the Countdown's opening performance."
"Good idea," Tony agreed.
"So without further ado, here's Calla and Tony covering "The Way" by Ariana Grande feat. Mac Miller. Specially requested by RunnerAwaker's good friend and partner in fanfic writing, NashWalker," Andre said. "And you two better get out there."
"Right, let's go," Tony said as he and Calla headed out.
The scene opens at the school's auditorium, where a crowd was gathered around a large stage and was cheering at the start of the New Years celebrations. Soon, Calla was slowly lowered onto the stage along with Tony and and as the music started, she began to sing:
Calla: I love the way you make me feel
I love it, I love it
I love the way you make me feel
I love it, I love it
Tony then stepped in and started rapping.
Tony: Say, I'm thinking 'bout her every second, every hour
Do my singing in the shower
Picking petals off of flowers like
Do she love me, do she love me not? (love me not)
I ain't a player, I just crush a lot (crush a lot)
Tony then left the stage as Calla started the first verse.
Calla: You give me that kind of something
Want it all the time, need it everyday
On a scale of 1 to 10 I'm at 100
Never get enough, I can't stay away
If you want it, I got it, I got it everyday
You can get whatever you need, from me
Stay by your side, I'll never leave you
I ain't going nowhere cause you're a keeper
So don't you worry, baby you got me
I got a bad boy, I must admit it
You got my heart, don't know how you did it
And I don't care who sees it babe
I don't wanna hide the way I feel when you're next to me
I love the way you make me feel
I love the way (I love it, I love it)
Baby I love the way you make me feel
Oh, I love the way, the way I love you
Oh, so crazy you get my heart jumping
When you put your lips on mine
And honey, it ain't a question (quick question)
Cause boy I know just what you like
So if you need it, I got it, I got it everyday
Be your lover, and friend, you'll find it all in me
Stay by your side, I'll never leave you
And I ain't going nowhere cause you're a keeper
So don't you worry, baby you got me
I got a bad boy, I must admit it
You got my heart, don't know how you did it
And I don't care who sees it babe
I don't wanna hide the way I feel when you're next to me
I love the way you make me feel
I love the way (I love it, I love it)
Baby I love the way you make me feel
Oh, I love the way, the way I love you
Tony then rejoined Calla onstage and started rapping again.
Tony: Uh, I make you feel so fine, make you feel so fine
I hope you hit me on my celly when I sneak in your mind
You a princess to the public, but a freak when it's time
Said your bed be feeling lonely
So you're sleeping in mine
Come and watch a movie with me
American Beauty or Bruce Almighty, that's groovy
Just come and move closer to me
I got some feelings for you,
I'm not gonna get bored of
But baby you an adventure so please let me come and explore you
Calla then took over for the rest of the song as Tony headed into the background of the stage.
Calla:So don't you worry, baby you got me
I got a bad boy, I must admit it
You got my heart, don't know how you did it
And I don't care who sees it babe
I don't wanna hide the way I feel when you're next to me
I love the way (you make me feel) (I love the way)
I love the way (I love the way)
Baby I love the way (I love the way)
Oh, I love the way (I love it)
I love the way (you make me feel)
I love the way (I love it)
Baby I love the way (you make me feel)
Oh, I love the way, the way I love you
The way I love you, you, you, yeah, the way
I love the way you make me feel
I love it, I love it
I love the way you make me feel
I love it, the way I love you!
Once the song concluded, the crowd burst out into cheers as Calla and Tony took a bow.
Back at the Mid-Zone Lounge, Jordan then says, "Now that's one way to start a Countdown!"
"But don't go away! There's more Countdown on the way!" Tony said as the opening ends.
As he said, more stuff coming your way to Countdown II 2014! Stay tuned, cause we'll be right back!
