[A/N: So, how about that new Nintendo Direct? No matter if you guys hate or love it, I think you'll find these "shorts" for the new mode amusing while I work on Turnabout Mega Buster. Basically, the spirits are a little bit more annoying than one would expect... Definitely a crack fic. (And I'll make more of these when they come to me, if you like them.) Also, Snake, WHO THOUGHT YOUR CARDBOARD BOX WOULD WORK DEAR LORD- *cough* okay. Done. On to the story(ies).]

Episode 1: This is why you don't bring the nerd along

"Okay, but Snaaaaake! I want to talk to the robot! He's Mega Man, for god's sake!"

Solid Snake punched himself in the face to get Otacon to shut up.

"Otacon, it's bad enough already that you're sharing my body, but I have a goddamn mission to do! And stop taking over my body to talk to Princess Peach!" he snarled to himself. Little Mac glanced at him, feeling quite sympathetic. Earlier, he had been taken over by a squid and an octopus and had belted out some song called "Ebb & Flow". He very desperately wanted to forget this Wednesday.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry about that... but there's robots and I want to talk to them! And you wouldn't let me talk to that nice android last week... Oh look! There's one now!" Snake (Otacon?) quickly dashed over to R.O.B. in a great deal of excitement. The robot spun around to face him, looking... uh, it didn't really seem capable of many emotions, so it looked, well, robotic.

"Okay! I know this one! R.O.B., originally starring in Gyromite for the Super Famicon in-"

"Man, Snake, I thought you were supposed to be tough. Didn't you get all the dominant genes?" The robot narrowed its eyes, having a familiar British accent.

"LIQUID! I KNEW IT WAS YOU!" Snake promptly punched the robot in the face.

"NOOOOOO SNAKE THE ROBOT"

"OTACON SNIPER WOLF WAS BAD ENOUGH BUT WOULD YOU JUST PLEASE SHUT UP YOU'RE ANNOYING ENOUGH AS IT IS WITH YOUR CODEC CALLS"

"AHAHAHA! VERY GOOD, BRRRRRRRROTHER! NOW, WE DUEL!" Liquid Snake slapped him across the face with his new robot arms. Snake got very mad, and slapped him back. Soon, they were in your typical Saturday-Night Cat-Fight. Or was it a Snake Fight? No one knows.

Otacon decided to take over at that moment and ran fast, and far away.

"Snake! Pointless fighting is useless! We're from a stealth game, after all!"

"BUT IT'S LIQUID-"

At that moment they were interrupted by the other robot, Mega Man.

"Uh, are you Doctor Hal Emmerich?" he curiously said, clearly confused.

"Well, sort of, but I'm also Solid Snake because we're sharing a body right now." he grinned happily.

The blue bomber jumped, chirping in joy. "Yes! I've always wanted to meet you! This spirits thing is so confusing..." he sighed. "The name's Jeff Andonuts! Pleased to meet you!" he stuck out a hand.

Otacon shook it. Not exactly what he expected, but as soon as he got his body back, he was going to analyze this robot so hard it would be absurd to try and describe it. "Otacon. And technically Solid Snake."

"So, uh, not very good at this conversation thing. When I'm not in this robot's body, I'm kinda shy, not very strong, really near-sighted, and I tend to be a little reckless. So, uh, despite that, would you like to be my friend? Okay?"

Somewhere, Ness Okeyed in response, though honestly he was wondering where the heck Jeff had run off to. And the rest of everyone in his universe, plus that one ramblin' evil mushroom.

"Sure!" Otacon smiled. Finally, someone he could talk about anime and science to besides Snake.

"Otacon, please, just stop." Snake grumbled.

"Snake, b-but-"

"Snake Man?" Mega Man blinked, clearly bewildered. "How'd I get over here?"

"Aw, see what you did..."

"Ugh. Otacon, let's just go try and get your body back." and then Snake hid in his cardboard box to hold the rest of the argument in private.

Mega Man was starting to be deeply concerned about this guy. What was happening? How'd he get over here? Why did he have a sudden and inexplicable urge to build bottle rockets despite him being programmed for household chores and combat?

He never got the answers to that, but hey, Crash Man was inexplicably very happy later on. Something to do with finally having hands.

So, a truly extraordinary and confusing adventure ensued that totally wasn't the video game version of Infinity War. At least Peter Parker didn't die again.
