Chapter 1: The awesomely written opening ceremony
A/N: Oh yeah I'm actuallhy starting this! I've put it in the crossover secton, however if you believe I should do otherwhise, do tell me please. Also Mario fans please bear with me as this is written by a purely Sonic fan who has only played Super Mario 3D Land and a bit of pirated Mario and Luigi: Bowser Inside Story. If I get anything and I mean ANYTHING wrong fell free to throw Mario wikis at my email and messages. And in reviews if you want to.
And something that's really bugging me : Is Birdo aguy or a girl? I first saw her in mario and Sonic at the winter... blah blah you get the idea and I though she was supposed to be some sort of a female counterpat of yoshi because of the pink skin and the ribbon. The problem is that I read somewhere that she is a he and I'm confused. What is Birdo's genre?
Do review and favourite! And I am certaintly neither Sega nor Nintenndo.
Also I added the Doctor and Donna as the announcers because of the sheer awesomeness that would ensue but don't worry as the main focus will still be towards Mario and Sonic characters. Expect stuff blowing up, people getting catapulted, randomness and the general pandemonium caused by the meeting of Earth's two biggest videogames mascots.
IMPORTANT: THIS WILL NOT BE AN ADAPTION OF THE DS VERSION'S STORY MODE. INSTEAD IT WILL PRSESENT THE EVENTS AND HOW EACH CHARACTER PERFOREMED.
" Ladies and genetlemen, toads and chaos I welcome you to the opening ceremony of the 2010 Olympic winter games!"
A ridiculous amount of fireworks erupted above the massive sports builing, engulfing the night sky with their colourful light as everyone whether they were inside the stadium or at the comfort of their own homes clapped and cheered for that unique event. At the edge of the inside of the satdium was one little retangular room where the spiky haired, excited time lord and announcer, the Doctor, was grinning like a madman. Next to him was red haired woman at her thirties looking as excited as her companion.
"Alien winter Olympic games!" She exclaimed her mouth sligtly agape "I can't believe it! Ha! And to think that no good Jakensy was acting so snobbish because he would be the only one from the neighbourhood going to Vancouver! Oh that's just... where'd I put my camera?" she giggled and brought her hands to the air while her eyes were solely focused on the view below her.
"I know right?" siad the Doctor who was laughing along with her. " It's been around for a sort time really, those are the third or fourth winter olumpic I think" he explained. "Still, Donna everyone's acting exactly like the first ones" he continued rubbing hic chin and making sure the microphone is off, so the conversations wasn't broadcasted live.
"How come?" Donna asked out of curiosity.
"It's because of the competitors" the Doctor answered cryptically.
"You're not making sense agaaiinn..." Donna sang while taking the nearest pamflet and searching it thouroughly.
"That's what I'm afteeeeerr..." the Doctor responde in the same tune. "You wouldn't want me to spoil he surprise now would you?" he chuckled.
"Alright, alright. " She frowned for a moment " At least tell me it's not going to be some crazy warlord wanting to take over the world again because I've had enough running and saving this month"
"Well..." the Doctor trailed off.
"Well what?" She insisted
"We may... sort of have two of those guys..." he hesitated "But!" he quickly said when he saw the woman's eyes widen "they won't be our problem as they've already found their match. Sort of. Do expect some sort of a fight and pray it's just about winning the most medals" he quickly said and just before Donna could fully comprehend the meaning of his words he turned his head at the area below and clasped his hands. "Well then back to my announcer duties again!" he happily said.
"How'd you become an announcer again?"
The Doctor held up a peculiar leather brown wallet with a mischievous glint in his eyes and waved it around.
"How can they refuse the position to Gerfin Washikal, the famous commentator from the galaxy of Andromeda?" He playfully put the wallet back to his bigger than they seem pockets of his longcoat clearing his throat.
"Now, Donna Noble, allow me to unveil the mystery of the competitors' identity" he said in a semi-serious voice.
"Go on, alien boy" Donna answered, while searching the field for any sign of them.
"Will do!" The Doctor smiled again and with a swift move of his hand, he activated the microphone as everyone turned their gaze to a platform at one side of the field.
"And now Ladies and genetlemen, toads and chaos and any other entity, about the last two teams competing for these medals, I am sure you've heard of them, their mostly heroic acts spreading throughought galaxies... "
"Alright guys you're ready?" a young energetic voice said coming from behind the entrance to the platform.
" Everyone, it's-a go time" another more mature but still high pitched voice said coming from the same plac where the previous voice came.
"... I present to you... " the Doctor did a little pause to built up anticiption which resulted to several nudges from his friend. "... the legendary..." every spectator held his breah and for a second not a single noise was heard in the entire stadium, as if time froze itself.
" Team Mario and Team Sonic!" the Doctor screamed at his microphone but the sound was drowned by the sound of the fireworks leaving from every possible corner, which was in turn nothing compard to the reaction of the spectators which included lots of cheering, exclamations of surprise and the occasional boos. The firewords filled the sky again with their colourful explosions while the lights focused on the centre of the platform where one human and one anthropomorphic hedgehog were waving at the ecstatic crowd around them. Next to each one were the members of each of their teams.
Manwhile Donna Noble had not uttered a sound but instead pointed at those two and looked at the Doctor with a mixture of confusion and denial. However before she could say anything the Doctor continued talking to the microphone.
"And now, from Team Mario we have..." he exclaimed.
"The leader of the team, hero of the mushroom kingdom and a likely candidate of princes' Peach's hand, Mario!"The short mustached man waved at the crowd using both of his hands, smiling as the crowd went wild calling out his name.
"His twin brother, just as daring although a bit terrified of ghosts but as heroic, Luigi!"Following his brothers movements the taller twim jumped a bit from excitement and seeing so many people cheering for him which even though the cheers were less than those his brother received , they were more than enough for him.
"The beautifull and gracefull princess of the Musroom Kingdom, Princess Peach!"The blonde princess took a step forward and bowed at the cheering crowds with a finesse fit for a princess as herself.
"The just as pretty but tomboyish princess of Sharasaland, always ready for action, Princess Daisy!"At the mention of her name the cheery princess waved too at the crowds and pumped her fist in the air as weel as jumped up and down.
"And who can forget one of Mario's most famous companion, with a helpfully long tongue, Yoshi!"At that time all the yoshis (is that their actual name?) stood up and chanted Yoshi while the green dinoshaur-turtle hopped up and down and did a turn, his face full of happiness.
"And now, the strongest and most trustworthy ape one can have , though a bit spacy, Donkey Kong!"Many ooks were heard from the spectators as the aforementioned ape did his trademark move, that is hit his chest with his two strong hands.
"The next member of this amazing team is one very succesful business man with a soft spot for garlic, Wario!"The cheers were considerably less enthusiastic as the pevious ones but still the obese man with the yellow blouse and cap and the purple tracksuit made sure he waved towards the ground relishing those moments.
"Along with him, is his crafty and sneaky companion, Waluigi!" Again the cheers were less intense but still the lanky man stroked his mustache and waved at those cheering for him determined to surpass that pest, Luigi.
The Doctor cleared his voice which had gone a bit sore from all that yelling and continued talking, but in a slower and less excited voice.
"Next on the list is the so-called King Bowser"he simply said. At this cold introduction the Koopas and Goombas looked at the box where they knew the announcer was and started booing and complaining. On the other hand the Toads told them to calm down and soon Toads, Goombas and Koopas were flying all over the place and there was lots of stomping and fighting between them.
"Oi, oi, what the..." the Doctor wondered "Hey, Hey! Put that seat down, now!" he adressed a furious Magi-Koopa who had ripped several seats from the stand and had placed them above the Toads. The magician listening to what the Doctor said let them fall down on the Toads "No! No- not them, put them back where they belong! Uhh.. isn't there supposed to be someone resposible for fights in the stands?" he said to whoevert could hear him.
In the meantime the flickies and every Mobian had carefully threaded or, in rarer cases, clawed his way out of what now was a massve pile of Toads and Bowser's minions. The situatio lasted for about five minutes, then with everyones help, both sides were separated and now there was at least one Moban between a Toad and a Goomba.
"Moving on..." tha Doctor announced and sighed on the microphone. "The last member of Team Mario is the trikster and prank-loving offspring of the Koopa King, Bowser Jr!" The Doctor tried to sound excited as in not to cause another fight. Thankfully no tables were thrown and now came the next team's turn.
"Alright folks, so we have Team Mario consisting of heroes, princesses and villains, your average story characters. However in the next team you'll find no true hero but but a rag-tag team of rebellious and cheerful teenagers, boy geniouses and ultimate lifeforms, all in one explosive mix! Ladies and genetlemen, toads and chaos, I present to you, Team Sonic!" The crowd went mad again as the Doctor caught his breath and continued his introduction.
"The leader of this team, aka The Fastest Thing Alive, Blue Blur, Wildfire and so many more, the living wildcard, an admirer of life and fighter of corruption and one who can break the ound barrier with ease, Sonic the Hedgehog!"The young Mobian who had a huge grin plastered on his face, waved at the crowd ecstatically and performed a few flips as well as an ending pose which had the crowd go crazy and yell encouraging words.
"An 8 year old brilliant two-tailed fox, who sees Sonic as his big brother and mentor" some at the crowd went 'awwww' an this " who can anything out of a scrap of metal, Miles 'Tails' Prower!"The young fox shyly came forwar an timidly waved at the crowd while nervously flicking his two tails.
"A girly girl with which you don't want to mess with if you 're not a fan of hammers and who also not so secretely harbors feeling for the teams leader, Amy Rose!"Many of the people in the crowd cheered for the girl as the pink hedgehog winked at the crowd and with a swift move hugged Sonic who now had a small blush at his snout. Much whistling ensued.
"The last of his kind, the echidnas, a famous treasure hunter, the guardian of the powerfull Master Emerald and with fists hat can break anything, Knuckles the Echidna!"A lot of people clapped and cheered for the echidna. In response Knuckles pumped his fists together and held them up.
"A hegdehog looking strikingly like Sonic with a much darker attitude, created as the Ultimate Lifeform, may look as a vilain but he has had his fair share of saving his world, Shadow the Hedgehog!"Although the cheers were less enthusiastic they shared the same graditude and admiration for the black hedgehog who frowned and waved at the crowd dismissevly. Many of the Toads and Goombas were offended by that but those from the Sega world kept clapping knowing they couldn't expect anything more.
"Head of the Choatix Detective Agency and a fan of good music, the oldest Mobian in this team and with an eye for MrsVanilla Rabbit, Vector the Crocodile!"At the mention of Cream's mother, Vectors scales turned a bit pink and he pretended he had a coughing fit. Still, he waved a the crowd happily.
"And now movng to other time periods, a pscychic hedgehog with telekinetic powers on his search for saving his future, Silver the Hedgehog!"The white mammal generously waved at the crowd letting himself fly for a split second.
"As hard it is to believe, Team Sonic actually has a royalty (though from another world) whose job is to protect the Sol Emeralds using her fire powers, I present to you the princess, Blaze the Cat!" The cat princess bowed firmly at the crowd whoclapped and cheered once more.
"Coming next is the only human memeber of the team, Dr Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik" The Doctor said just as coldly as Bowser perhaps more. The was silence in the stadium and apart from a few claps from some Gommbas everyone stood still. The mad scientist seeing this cold reception grumbled to himself. Then out of nowhere two robots appeared, the red one lazily waving a flag with a crude representation of what was Eggman's face while the other hand was on his hip. He had a bored looked, unlike his rectangular shaped yellow companion who was stuffed to the brim with flags of the type "Go Doctor" , "Team Eggman"etc. His cowboy accent was prominent as he was cheering encouraging words at his creator without any pause.
"Finally we have a robot made by the aforementiond scentist, Metal Sonic" The Doctor added with the same cold tone. The robots stare at the stands and some chaos that were at the front seats slowly backed off. The two robots, unfazed by all this (actually just Curbot, the yellow one) kept cheering.
The introductions were now over and the two teams started leaving the platforms getting ready to rest for the next days event. The competitors chatted with each other quite vividly.
From Team Mario we had the following conversations.
"So..." Peach adressed Mario "that went better than expected, don't you think?"
"Well-a" Mario scratched his head "At least Bowser didn't-a try to abduct you again."
"True but even if he does I'm sure you'll do just fine as you always do" Peach reassured Mario and left but not before giving him a light kiss on the cheek. Mario stood still for a while and watched as the beautifull godess called Peach went towads her room with her sweet delicate legs. Mario blushed and smoothly touched the place where Peach had kissed him, a genuine smile starting to form into his face. He was such a lucky man to actually talk to the blue eyed, blond haired and well-mannered princess who was the prettiest girl he had laid his eyes on. And the best part was that she might actually have feelings for him, the chubby and a bit short plumber! Oh she was such a gratefull creature...
Suddenly Luigi rushed past him while a furious Daisy was chasing him for reasons unknown.
Meanwhile on Team Sonic..
"Dude, did you see the cold reception Eggman got?" Sonic asked his little brother, both of them strolling at their rooms with leisure.
"Yeah," Tails chuckled "Even the announcer did not like him either" he commented "Still.." Sonic rubbed his chin "Im impressed he didnt mention the moustache," he dramatically imitated Eggman's habit of stroking his moustsache which had the little fox in stitches "I mean that thing is huge. I bet it's even bigger than his ego." he continued.
"I don't know..." Tails rolled his eyes "Your ego seems to be tough competition too"
"Oi!"Sonic exclaimed. "Since when did you become so teasing?" he playfully eyed the little cub.
"I learned from the best" the kit responded which resulted in Sonic seizing his head and messing hs fur. The boy squealed and vainly tried to escape. After a few tries he managed to break free of his big brother's grip and ran towards his room. Sonic stood there, chuckling to himself. He looked at the night sky for a moment seeing the moon which was not half mechanichal as the one in his realm. After taking a dep breath he followed the others and soon everyone on both teams was sound asleep, resting as the next day would prove to be quite exciting.
