*Start*
(After doing some much-needed off-screen grinding, the player is now ready to continue with the main story and has Naruto run toward Barret's office in hall.)
(Making it to the door, the choice screen pops up.)
Are you sure you're ready?
No.
Yes, dammit!
No.
Yes, dammit!
(An event has now been triggered, as we receive a new cutscene.)
INT-DOWNSTAIRS-DEN-EVENING
(Inside the den, Tails is sitting on a couch looking at Raiden's amulet while Marlene is laying on the carpet drawing pictures which look surprisingly good.)
Tails: (I don't get it, how can Drake use it like so, but I can't?)
Marlene: Come on, Tails, just draw one picture with me!
(Tails at first wants to decline from drawing with Marlene but feels the need to take his mind of the amulet for now, plus he can't bring himself to say "No" to the kid.)
Tails: OK, just one picture.
Tails: Do you have colored pencils?
Marlene: Yup!
(Before Tails can get any closer, he slips and falls on his bottom,)
Tails: Ow…
Marlene: (Worried) Tails are you okay!?
Marlene: Please don't sue us!
Tails: Did you spill water on the floor earlier?
(As Tails gets up, he notices something peculiar about the water her slipped on, as it begins to move around inexplicably.)
(The water then begins to grow and take shape of something...or rather, someone.)
Marlene: Tails?
(Tails thinks he knows exactly what this is with a serious, yet worried look on his face.)
Tails: Marlene, run and get help!
Marlene: (Worried) What's going on!?
Tails: Just go, it's a monster!
(Marlene runs out of the den, leaving Tails to face the creature.)
Tails: What're you doing here, Chaos!?
(Tails is mighty wrong, as the water now takes the form of a man, then completely reveals itself to be a ninja who looks similar to Subzero, only he's purple.)
(It's Rain from Mortal Kombat!)
Mortal Kombat Announcer: RAIN!
(For some reason, Rain is wearing a suit similar to how he looked in the godawful Mortal Kombat Annihilation movie.)
(Rain is one knee, face to face with Tails, who is frozen fear at the moment, not knowing whether to fight or run.)
Rain: I believe you have mistaken me for someone else, but chaos…
(Rain smacks Tails in the face, sending him crashing into a small wooden table with a large lamp on top of it.)
Rain: Just so happens to be a profession of mine.
(Rain stands up, does an evil head turn and walks to the hall, pursuing Marlene.)
Meanwhile…
(Before Naruto can enter Barret's office Marlene's scream is heard, it's so loud everyone hears it as we see mini-screens of each character in the house pop up.)
(We now cut back to Naruto who gets crushed by Barret's doo against the wall as he busts out in worry and anger.)
Barret: (Frantic) BABYGIRL!
(Naruto tumbles to the floor and slowly gets up.)
Naruto: !?
(Naruto spots a small pack of Edenian ninjas stopping Barret from reaching his daughter.)
(Naruto then attempts to join in on the imminent fray.)
Naruto: Old man, stand back!
(Barret opens fire from his gun hand, turning all 5 ninjas into Swiss cheese.)
Naruto: (Amazed) Whoa…
Barret: Yeah, I know that was cool...by the way…
(Barret lifts Naruto by the head.)
Barret: Who you callin' "old man", spikey!?
Naruto: (Frantic) N-nobody!
Barret: It better be nobody, now let's get movin'!
(We now cut to outside when suddenly a ninja is kicked out of a window by Ibuki)
(Inside the living room, Sakura and Ibuki are fighting more ninjas.)
(Sakura spin-kicks two ninjas to the floor.)
(Sakura then punches one square in the face, but he takes it and punches her back and strikes her in the shoulder with a heavy shooting palm.)
(The ninja attempts to make his next move, but Ibuki intervenes by throwing a kunai at his leg.)
(While down, Sakura finishes him off with a flying knee to the chin.)
Sakura: These guys are tough.
Ibuki: (Serious) Don't let your guard down, I heard of these ninjas from Espio-san.
Ibuki: They're called Edenians.
Meanwhile…
EXT-FRONT GATE-EVENING
(Rain walks his way outside holding Marlene, who squirms to get loose, but to no avail.)
Drake: (Off-Screen) Drop the girl.
(Rain slowly turns around and confronts Drake, who has him at gunpoint with a 9mm pistol.)
Rain: I and the girl just need to talk, she's mine now.
(Drake takes a short pause before responding back.)
Drake: I'd like to think means something else, but that can easily be taken out of context in so many ways…
Drake: Look, just, just drop the girl take a seat, okay?
Drake: I'll call Chris Hansen and we'll have all this toxic and nasty way of thinking from head cleared in no time, whaddya say?
Rain: Yes.
Drake: Oh... alright, see that's wasn't so hard-
Rain: You are very well misinterpreting what I just said, I'm no child-stealing madman like some of you filthy Earth Realmers.
Drake: Then what do you want her for; taking a hostage so you can get outta here clean?
Espio: (Off-Screen) Gunman, DON'T!
(The Chaotix arrive on the scene, blocking Rain's exit.)
Espio: What business do you have here, Edenian?
Rain: Interesting, you know of my people, but I am not familiar with your race…
Rain: No matter.
(Rain tosses Marlene high up in the air.)
Charmy: Marlene!
(Drake opens fire on Rain, but he blocks the incoming bullets with a watery shield and blasts him with a giant ball of water.)
Vector: Why you!
(Vector attempts to attack him from behind, but Rain spins into a watery tornado, which pulls Marlene and Charmy in before he can grab her.)
(The small tornado then burst through the exit and on to the streets.)
Espio: I won't let you get away!
(Espio speeds off in hot pursuit of Rain down the street.)
*Loading*
(After speedrunning through a lot of obstacles you'd normally see in a Sonic game, Espio catches up with Rain and spin dashes through the water tornado as it begins to fade.)
(Rain is knocked out of the tornado, freeing Charmy and Marlene.)
(Rain gets up and makes a retreat, but Espio follows him.)
Espio: Charmy, as soon as your wings dry get Marlene out of here!
Charmy: O-OK!
EXT-ALLEYWAY-EVENING
(Espio prepares to crash down on Rain with a spin-dash, but narrowly evades the attack by turning into water.)
(Rain transports behind Espio and runs in with a flying back-kick, but thanks to his size, Espio ducks.)
(The two then circle each other and engage in full-on hand to hand combat.)
(Though having a difficult time fighting Espio due to his small size, Rain still manages to hold his own, then fights dirty by shooting out a splash of water from his hand to Espio's face, blinding eyes.)
(Rain lifts Espio off the ground with rising water, and blasts him away with a huge wave of water, sending him crashing into a pile of trashcans.)
Rain: (Unimpressed) Hmph…
Rain: How fitting, trash lying in the trash.
(Rain takes his leave, using his waterport to transport away.)
(The battered and bruised Espio slowly rises from the pile of trash and slams his fist to the ground, frustrated by his failure in catching Rain.)
*Pause*
