Konata was sitting at home surfing the Internet and activated her webcam, introducing herself and her webcast to the world and beyond.

"Good morning, everyone!" Konata chimed. "Welcome to QCFP: Quarter Circle Forward Punch! Today, I thought of paying homage to the classics."

Konata pulled out 12 different nametags, 2 of each color: red, blue, green, orange, purple and silver.

"While I was in grade school," Konata continued, "there was a popular game show I never got to see called Legends of the Hidden Temple. From what I heard, it sounds like a lot of fun! That's why I'm calling all my contacts from all over the Aniverse to come join me on running through the Hidden Temple! This trip's gonna get DOWN RIGHT FIERCE!"

Konata ends the webcast mimicking the Hadouken motion and uses her cell phone.

Hours later, Konata walks up to the Kusakabe Station with Kagami who looked slightly annoyed.

"Well, Konata," Kagami grumbled. "Care to explain what this is all about?"

"It's simple, Kagamin," Konata chimed. "I've invited almost everyone across the Aniverse for a special game of Legends of the Hidden Temple. I've even paired people based on recent events in the virtual wrestling world, and then some."

"That show has been over for 20 years, Kona-chan," Kagami growled. "And it still doesn't explain what THAT has to do with me."

"I will also explain that when everyone gets here," Konata added.

Soon, Konata recognizes a creature that looks like a lion cub with wings accompanying a charming young girl.

"That's Sakura Kinomoto!" Kagami pointed out. "What's she doing here?"

"I invited her, of course," Konata told Kagami. "I specifically called people from the Aniverse to join me."

"So, who else are we gonna meet?" mumbled Kagami.

"You'll see," Konata smiled.

Hovering over Sakura and Kero is the Ryo-Oh-Ki, and flying alongside Ryo-Oh-Ki is a young girl with short black hair and a white shirt.

"Something seems out of place here," Kagami thought.

"Well, I did say ALL points of the Aniverse, Kagamin," added Konata. "And it's gonna get big!"

In front of Konata and Kagami are Sakura Kinomoto and Kero. Stepping out of Ryo-Oh-Ki before she reverted back to cat form are Ayeka and Sasami, Ryoko, Washu and a special guest of Ryoko's that she stowed away in Ryo-Oh-Ki: the maniacal Sawyer the Cleaner. Touching down besides Ayeka is Videl, the daughter of World Champion Mr. Satan.

"Doesn't everything look out of place, Konata?!" yelled Kagami. "It's like a cavalcade of characters!"

"We got four more people coming here now, Kagamin," Konata said. "I just got off the phone with them now."

Heading out of Kusakabe Station are twin girls with red hair. One girl had her hair short, while the other has hers long and has a bandage on her left cheek. Slowly coming out of the same station are two girls in glasses, but all the guys look over them because of their big breasts.

"I see Ako-nee, Riko-nee, Anri and Miharu have arrived," Konata checked. "And that's all we got."

"Miss Izumi!" Sakura chimed out. "We're here!"

"What is the meaning calling us out here?!" demanded Videl.

"This better be important, Konata!" Ryoko added.

Konata used her phone to hack the video system to get all the attention of the crowd in front of her and Kagami.

"Now that I got your attention," Konata smiled. "Let us begin, shall we?"

Konata begins to roll a highlight reel of Legends of the Hidden Temple for everyone to see.

"What are we seeing here?" Ako wondered.

"Mihoshi and I watched this back in Okayama," Sasami added. "This is a legendary show from America."

"But why that Pocky-filled otaku wants to show us this is beyond me," Ayeka thought.

After the montage ended, Konata got on the megaphone and spoke to the crowd.

"Now that you saw Legends of the Hidden Temple's best moments," Konata said, "we're gonna make our own moments by participating!"

"Are you crazy, Konata?!" Riko called out. "The series and where it's filmed is long gone!"

"That's why I called Washu here," Konata said, pointing to Washu.

"Oh, great…", Ryoko grumbled. Ayeka sulked alongside Ryoko, knowing too well what to expect with Washu.

"Seeing how successful I was sending Tenchi back in time," Washu said, "I'm sending all of you back to the year 1995, at the peak of the series!"

"Time travel? Are you sure it's safe?" asked Miharu.

"Don't ask!" growled Ayeka and Ryoko.

"Now, before we leave for the past, I have nametags for everyone," Konata said, holding the nametags in the air. "Your teams have been prechosen by me, and after we've partnered up, we'll be off to the past!"

Konata handed red nametags to Ayeka and Videl, orange nametags to Sasami and Sakura, blue nametags to Ryoko and Sawyer, purple nametags to Anri and Miharu and silver nametags to Ako and Riko. She handed Kagami one of the two green nametags.

"I hope those nametags don't fall off seeing how big your chests are, purple team." Konata called out.

Hearing that made Miharu blush, and Anri look slightly annoyed.

"Cool your jets, gramps," Kagami snided. "Let's get this farce over with."

"Right," Konata said. "OK, Washu! Crank it up!"

"OK, girls! Time to go back, way back, back into time!" Washu laughed as she used a portable time machine to transport the crowd of girls back in the year 1995.

When they arrived in 1995, Konata looked around and was shocked and dismayed.

"Where's the Hidden Temple?!" Konata cried. "We were supposed to be at the Hidden Temple!"

"Well, we're still in 1995," Ayeka pointed out, "but we're still in Japan. We have to be in America to be on that show."

"Konata!" Kagami growled. "You forgot to tell Washu where it is!"

Konata looked away and cried for foolishly neglecting to tell Washu that they had to be in the U.S. for the game.

"Looks like we'll have to fly there," said Anri. "Where is this Hidden Temple located?"

"An American city called Orlando," Kagami said. "We'll have to catch a flight from Tokyo to Orlando to make it there. Then, we'll find a hotel and plan everything."

"Wow!" Sasami said. "You're pretty smart, Miss Hiiragi."

"Well, I try to help whenever I can," Kagami replied, trying to keep cool.

"There's ALWAYS stuff I always forget," whined Konata.

"Just relax, Kona-chan," Kagami said. "You'll be OK."

After a night in the hotel, the group takes a tour bus to Universal Studios Florida, where Nickelodeon Studios is located. On the tour bus, Konata informed everyone on what the colored nametags represent.

"Everyone on these nametags represent the teams in the Hidden Temple" explained Konata. "They are the Red Jaguars, the Blue Barracudas, the Green Monkeys, the Orange Iguanas, the Purple Parrots and the Silver Snakes."

"And each of these teams must compete in all sorts of challenges," Kagami added. "After all the challenges are finished, the last team standing wins the right to enter the Hidden Temple."

"And Washu will arrange everything on what the legend will be," Konata replied. "I don't know myself what's gonna happen."

"Also, we have to be low-key in this area," Kagami warned. "You never know what's gonna happen."

After final debriefing from Konata and Kagami, the group arrives at Nickelodeon Studios. After ducking into a restroom, the girls changed into the colored outfits for each of the teams from Legends of the Hidden Temple, complete with safety gear. The girls all walked down to the soundstage where the game show was being taped walking Tarantino-style, ready for Konata's big broadcast.

"OK, let's do this," Konata said.
