Intro
As the camera fades in we see a large, portly alien with blue skin and human features walking up a hill, looking at the camera. We see that it's Mr. Jowai, the host of the last race.
Mr. Jowai: Welcome to the start of the second Amazing Race: VG Style. I'm your host, Mr. Jowai, and I'll be keeping track of the teams until the end of the race.
We see archive footage of the last race, showing Billy and Lily as the winners.
Mr. Jowai: (voice over) In the last race, siblings Billy and Lily overcame all obstacles and were the team to win the race, but the question is, who will win this time?
We see four helicopters flying towards the city of VG Central, aiming for the hill.
Mr Jowai: (voice over) Right now, these four helicopters are transporting the sixteen teams to this hill, where the race around the VG Universe will start once again. Because the last race was shorter, we decided to lengthen it by adding five extra teams to compete for the one million dollar prize. The teams are…
We see teams getting out of the helicopters one at a time as each of them are announced.
Team 1: HARRY TIPPER & KITTEN CELESTE
Representing: TIMESPLITTERS
Relationship: DATING
Harry: I'm a secret agent, and it can get pretty tiring after a while, man. Always foiling Khallos' plans for world domination can really get dull. Well dudes, I decided to do something fun and enter this race with my girl, Kitten! Nothing could be better for me, man!
Kitten: Being Harry's partner and girlfriend means that I have to do everything he does, and believe me, it gets tiring after a while. I was honestly thinking that this race wouldn't be as fun as all those missions Harry and I went on together, but once I saw how much money the prize was, I knew that this was going to be fierce. I'm going to give it all I got.
Team 2: TINY & DINGODILE
Representing: CRASH BANDICOOT
Relationship: BEST FRIENDS
Dingodile: Tiny and Ah have been best friends ever since we met, so when Ah decided to escape from Cortex, Tiny went with meh. The othas better watch out, cause Tiny and Ah are in this race to win!
Tiny: Dingodile right! We win big time and beat others to finish line! We unstoppable!
Dingodile: At least that's the hope…
Team 3: BRIDGET & DIZZY
Representing: GUILTY GEAR
Relationship: DATING
Bridget: (a boy dressed as a nun) I make a living as a bounty hunter, so when I saw all that money at stake, it was too good to pass up. And finding a partner wasn't a problem, especially since I'm dating Dizzy here.
Dizzy: (a girl with wings and a tail) I'm really hoping to spend more time with Bridget, and I'm not going to let anything slow us down. Not even if I get cornered by Testament! I'm going to enjoy the race and hopefully, Bridget and I will stay in the race a good while.
Team 4: JOLENE & MUSH
Respresenting: PAPER MARIO 2
Relationship: SIBLINGS
Jolene: I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to spend a lot of time with my little brother after becoming the manager of the Glitz Pit. But now this race comes up and I'm given the ultimate opportunity to spend quality time with Mush.
Mush: I'm a fighter in the Glitz Pit and I never really DO end up spending time with sis. When Jolene approached me and asked if I wanted to enter the race, I couldn't refuse. I mean, hey! This is a really good chance to hang with her!
Team 5: GEESE HOWARD & WOLFGANG KRAUSER
Representing: FATAL FURY
Relationship: HALF-BROTHERS
Geese: Seeing Billy, my own bodyguard, win the last race told me that this could be won by almost anyone. I'm not really interested in the prize, though. I'm just in this to prove that this race isn't as hard to win as it looks. (………Although I admit that I'll have fun taking out the other teams………)
Krauser: I see the race as an opportunity to do something fun viff my life that doesn't involve fighting. Plus, I figured that Geese could use the thrill of the race and needed the fresh air. I haff done nothing exciting viff my brother in years and I think that thees vill be a god opportunity to breeng us closer.
Team 6: DIDDY KONG & DIXIE KONG
Representing: DONKEY KONG COUNTRY
Relationship: DATING
Diddy: With DK doing all these exciting things with Mario and the gang, I realized that it was my turn to do something fun. So, instead of DK, I got Dixie to be my partner. As the race goes on, the others will see that the two of us are more than just a couple of monkeys and consider us a threat.
Dixie: Diddy and I get along real well. We've been dating for a while and we know pretty much everything about the other. I think that us getting along will help us along in the race and hopefully land us on the finish line.
Team 7: SHAGGY ROGERS & VELMA DINKLEY
Representing: SCOOBY DOO
Relationship: BEST FRIENDS
Shaggy: Like, Velma and I have been through pretty much everything imaginable.
Velma: Especially you.
Shaggy: Right. Well, I don't think that we'll like, have any major problems on the race. Aside from Scooby, Velma's my best friend, so when Scooby couldn't come, I quickly realized that Velma would be next.
Velma: I think Shaggy and I have a good chance. We get along great, I've got great deducing skills and he's got a bottomless stomach for the eating tasks. The others had better watch out, because even though all of Mystery Inc. isn't here doesn't mean Shaggy and I can't do well on our own.
Team 8: DAN HIBIKI & RAINBOW MIKA
Representing: STREET FIGHTER
Relationship: FRIENDS (if it's anything more than that, we'll get back to you)
Dan: I need some serious publicity for my dojo, so when I heard about the race, I realized that it would be great for business. If I win, I'm sure I'll get enough publicity for my dojo! (………And maybe even have the guts to ask Mika out………)
Mika: I'm not exactly sure why Dan got me to be his partner. I mean sure, we're friends and all, but I wonder why he didn't team up with Blanka or something. (………Although I'm really glad the hunk asked me to be his partner………)
Team 9: PAULA & JEWEL
Representing: SUIKODEN 4
Relationship: BEST FRIENDS
Paula: (an elf girl with orange hair) When Jewel and I saw how far Samus and Reed got last time, we decided to give it a try and see how far we get. Jewel and I don't care if we don't win, because we intend to have a great time on the race no matter what happens.
Jewel: (a white-haired girl with dark skin) Paula's right, because we wanted to see if we could last as long as Samus and Reed did back in Season One. If we get eliminated first, hey, that's alright with me. I just want to have fun in the race and nothing's going to stop me!
Team 10: TALON & MALON
Representing: LEGEND OF ZELDA
Relationship: FATHER & DAUGHTER
Talon: I'm really looking forward to doing this here race with Malon, because I've always wanted to make up for the fact that I'm a really lazy farmer. I hope that this race can bring us closer together, because I really miss those old days when we'd do everything together.
Malon: Dad's known to be really lazy, but I love him anyway. Maybe this race could give him the exercise he so desperately needs. (chuckles) If we stay in the race long enough to win, maybe he'll have lost about thirty pounds!
Team 11: KIM POSSIBLE & RON STOPPABLE
Representing: KIM POSSIBLE
Relationship: LIFELONG FRIENDS
Kim: There hasn't been any missions in a long time, so Ron decided to enter this race and pull me into it. I honestly don't know why.
Ron: Oh, come on, KP! This'll be fun!
Kim: (chuckles) Whatever you say, Ron.
Ron: It's gonna be harder to do this race without Rufus, but hey, I'm doing it with Kim. I'm perfectly fine with that and I really hope we can do well.
Team 12: KID USA & ALLY GATOR
Representing: BLACK AND BRUISED
Relationship: SIBLINGS
Kid: (a full-grown adult with blonde hair) Ally and I haven't exactly had the best relationship, but I still love her. This race is a great opportunity to bring us together and hopefully sort out our differences.
Ally: (a redhead with a baseball cap) Bro used to have a major ego problem, and I think I'm slowly getting rid of that. He's still a little egotistical, but he's definitely showing improvement. I'm looking forward to what this race will bring, and I want to prove to everyone else that Team USA is going to be in till the end!
Team 13: GARFIELD & ARLENE
Representing: GARFIELD
Relationship: DATING
Mr. Jowai: Keep in mind that both Garfield and Arlene have been given special mics that allow everyone to hear their thoughts.
Garfield: I don't know why I agreed to do this with Arlene. I mean, we travel a lot, run around and possibly get lost in the least likely of spots to get lost in. Why'd I even come here?
Arlene: Because I told you about the eating tasks.
Garfield: Oh, yeah.
Arlene: Garfield and I may not have a strong relationship, but that doesn't mean that I can't get the lazy bum to try and win! Everyone else had better watch out!
Team 14: RAVEN & BEAST BOY
Representing: TEEN TITANS
Relationship: TEAMMATES
Beast Boy: Raven and I are in this race to show that we can win, even though we don't get along very well! I mean, she and I are complete opposites!
Raven: It doesn't help the fact that I CAN'T use emotions, you know.
Beast Boy: I know.
Raven: How'd we end up on a team, anyway? I don't recall agreeing to be on the race.
Beast Boy: (scratches his head) I don't know, actually. Cyborg said he would put the team as he and I.
(TITAN TOWER)
Cyborg: (watching the race on TV; chuckles) If this doesn't get those two together, nothing will.
Robin and Starfire: (look at Cyborg questioningly)
(BACK TO THE RACE)
Team 15: JOKER & HARLEY QUINN
Representing: BATMAN
Relationship: CRIMINAL & HENCHWOMAN
Joker: I think Harley and I can win. Not only have we had experience in running (mainly fleeing in terror), but we have a few special 'tricks' to get us ahead.
Harley: We'll show everyone that we're a tough team! Right, puddin?
Joker: ……Sure, whatever.
Team 16: LING XIAOYU & MIHARU
Representing: TEKKEN
Relationship: BEST FRIENDS
Xiaoyu: Miharu and I have been friends for as long as I can remember, so doing this race as a team is the perfect idea! We probably get along better than anyone else in the race and we agree on almost anything, so we could prove to be a tough team in the long run.
Miharu: I may not be as good a fighter as Xiao is, but that won't stop me from doing my best in the race, trying to last until the final leg to win the million dollars! We're a tough team, and the others will hopefully see that after a few legs.
We see the top of the hill, where all sixteen teams are lined up, standing in front of Mr. Jowai. Their backpacks are located a good ways away, a clue on each pair of them.
Mr. Jowai: In just a moment, you will all be departing on the adventure of a lifetime. During each leg, all tasks must be done together save for 'Boss Battles' which only one member of each team may do.
Kid: What about money, man? We gotta do a whole lot on the race.
Mr. Jowai: At the start of each leg, each team is given a small amount of money which you can use to spend on the leg. Any money left over at the end of each leg will be carried over to the next and be used there. Now, you must pay for everything on the race, except for airline tickets, which the race will pay for.
Jolene: (nods) Sounds good to me.
Harry: You said it, dudette.
Mr. Jowai: However, at the end of each leg is a Pitstop. You'll want to hurry to these as fast as you can, because if you're last, you'll be eliminated. The final leg will bring the remaining three teams back here to VG Central, where all sorts of franchises collide. Now, before we start, I'd like to point a couple of things out.
Mr. Jowai: One. Raven and Beast Boy, you guys aren't allowed to use your powers.
Beast Boy: We figured that.
Mr. Jowai: Two. Garfield, you HAVE to run. No one is allowed to carry you.
Garfield: (grumbles) Fine.
Mr. Jowai: And three. Joker and Harley, NO dirty tricks.
Joker: (face falls) D'oh!
Mr. Jowai: After I give the signal, you must all run to your backpacks, where you'll find your first clue on top of them. What you do after that is entirely up to you. The first team that crosses the finish line on the final leg will win the one million dollar grand prize!
All of the racers cheer, clearly excited.
Mr. Jowai: (raises a hand into the air) All of you probably know about the cameraman following each team at all times, so I won't bother mentioning it. You guys ready?
The racers prepare to run towards the backpacks to get the first clue.
Mr. Jowai: Have fun…Play hard…Travel safe…And may the best team win…(looks at all of the racers) GO!
As Mr. Jowai swings his arm down, all thirty-two racers take off running, flying past Mr. Jowai, towards their backpacks, starting the race.
To be continued…
