Author's Note: Feel free to skip this part by going to the line under it, I just want to get something off my chest for a minute.

First off, thank you to those who send me kind messages and cool ideas for future events coming next in the story.

Unfortunately, I've been hit by the inevitable reviews which were just death threats and insults. Look, if you have a problem with how I write or don't like what I've been doing with the story, that's perfectly fine, it's the whole point of opinions and criticisms, but there's being critical and then there's just being a plain jerk. One reviewer said he/she hopes I get the virus. He/she probably didn't mean it, but come on, we need to do and be better than that. Seriously, would you really want someone dead over a stupid fanfic? smh

Alright, now on with the story.


(Our heroes thankfully survived Wario's deadly nuke, but unfortunately did not come out unscathed.)

EXT-Street Canyon-Evening

(We cut down from a hot sunny day in the middle of a rocky canyon to Drake's ruined and scratched up jeep which is full of air freshener on the inside.)

(The gang is wearing medical masks and looks mighty defeated and unhappy from this predicament, but Naruto tries to lighten the mood a bit as he removes his mask.)

Naruto: The smell's starting to clear up.

Drake: Maybe for you, but I'm not taking any chances until we reach the nearest repair shop.

Sakura: (Angry) It sucks that we couldn't find that Mario-lookalike!

Sakura: If only he had a license plate.

Drake: If he did have one, I wouldn't make a report...

Drake: I'd hunt him down myself and beat the ever-loving SHIT outta that Italian elf and see how likes it when someone gives him a gas bomb.

(Drake feels the swearing was a little uncalled for, but can't help it since he's flat-out pissed at the moment.)

Drake: Excuse my language, Tails, just...I'm just friggin' livid right now.

Tails: It's okay...Oh, and I wrote a list of tools I'll need to fix the jeep.

(Tails passes a piece of paper containing his list over to Drake.)

(Drake reads it while he drives, not worried about getting hit at all since there are no other vehicles on the road.)

Drake: (Surprised) That's it?

Tails: Yep, after taking a look at it, it wasn't as heavily damaged as I thought, and that's all thanks to its durable armor.

Drake: Awesome, let's just hope we can get there in time before it cuts off again.

(Drake jinxes it as the car slowly begins to shut down on him, much to his dismay as he hits the steering wheel.)

Drake: (Flustered) AH COME ON, REALLY!?

Drake: (Angry) FU-

(Drake hits the horn, which bleeps out his F-bomb in a rated T for the Teen game.)

Tails: (Sad) I'll go check.

Naruto: Wait, I got a better plan!

(Moments later, we cut to the next scene with a group of extremely handsome men are seen pushing their black vehicle while one of them is still inside of it.)

(It's Prompto, Gladiolus, and Ignis from Final Fantasy 14!)

(As they continue pushing, Prompto spots something coming in fast from behind them.)

Prompto: Huh?

(This catches the attention of the others as they begin to stop pushing except for Gladiolus.)

Gladiolus: HEY, whatever you guys are looking at, don't let it stop you!

(Feeling curious himself, Gladiolus looks back as we zoom straight ahead behind the gang to see 5 Narutos carrying the jeep from different sections while running.)

(Our heroes then pass by the gang leaving them behind in smoke.)

Ignis: Anyone else wanna to try that out?

Prompto: No way!

Gladiolus: Only if you plan on lifting it too.

(Ignis thinks for a moment…)

Ignis: (Shrugs) Meh, let's just keep doing what we've been doing.

Gladiolus: Tch, lazy ass.

EXT-HAMMERHEAD FULL-SERVICE STATION-EVENING

(We close in on the service station and cut to the scene with a full shot of a nicely shaped rear-end of a young southern woman in her mid-20's dressed in radical mechanic's clothing.)

(The camera slowly goes from her behind up to her face as she steps outside while checking her watch looking somewhat tired.)

Cindy: It's been full of tourists just comin' and goin' like nobody's business.

Cindy: Hope that big event's worth the money traveling from all around the world just to see it.

(Cindy now takes a seat on wooden bench and drinks what looks like a bottle of pineapple Fanta.)

Cindy: Whew...I'm so tired I'm talking to myself about stuff I already know, almost like I'm providing exposition to a story that's just making itself up as it goes or somethin'...

Cindy: Hm?

(Suddenly, Naruto and the gang pull up to the entrance.)

(The exhausted Naruto and his clones drop the jeep hard to the ground.)

(Drake, Tails, and Sakura exit the vehicle like they just got back from a wild roller coaster ride.)

Drake: (Woozy) Thank you, Knucklehead...Ya' didn't have to do it, but I'm glad you did.

(Though confused at first, Naruto and the gang's presence have piqued Cindy's interest.)

Cindy: (Huh, lively little bunch, I wonder where they're from.)

To Be Continued...
