Drake: WHOO!

Drake: FINALLY, my name's in a chapter title!

INT-MUSHROOM MALL-FOOD COURT-DAY

(Held at gunpoint from a crouching Drake, the tense Wario sits perfectly still, thinking very carefully on how he should react.)

(Drake is feeling happily tempted to but a bullet in Wario, while Naruto & Sakura who personally just want to beat the everloving crap out of him snickers while popping their knuckles.)

Drake: Fancy meeting you here, I've been having a crappy week ever since you totaled our ride.

Drake: Now things looking up.

(Tails glances over at the real action up ahead with Luigi and the guards battling Donking Kong and the biker dogs in the background near the wishing fountain.)

Tails: Guys, I think we should do something about the gorilla situation in the background.

(Drake takes a glance up ahead and agrees, he then stands up while still pointing his gun at Wario.)

Drake: Sure, you guys go on ahead, I'll-GAH!

(Suddenly, a table gets tossed in the air and nearly hits Drake and the others, except Tails, who flies up in the air.)

(Wario drops his worries and takes the golden opportunity to run as fast as he can away from the gang.)

(Naruto and the others quickly get up and spot Wario frantically getting away.)

Drake: I got em', get the Gorilla!

Naruto: (Angry) Tch.

(Naruto hesitates for a split second, he wants to get even with Wario as well but looks back at the chaos Donkey Kong is making, noticing a lot of the civilians are getting caught in the crossfire.)

Naruto: I'm on it!

Naruto: Let's go, guys!

(Cut back to Drake who points his gun at the running Wario, he then aims, but irritably changes his mind when he realizes he's out of range and some too many people could end up getting shot if he misses.)

(A woman quickly picks up her little girl and flees from where Drake was about to shoot, further alarming him to keep his firearm holstered.)

Drake: Damn!

(Drake stands up from crouching position and makes a run for it, chasing Wario down in hot pursuit while doing a little bit of parkour across the tables and benches in the food court.)


(Cut back to Luigi, frantically evading some vicious incoming blows from Donkey Kong.)

(Luigi is getting tired, he can't keep this up.)

Luigi: (Panting) Oh...not good…

(Having no further alternative, Luigi decides to fight back when he pulls out a mushroom, but Donkey Kong smacks him across the face, knocking him in midair as his mushroom goes sliding to the floor.)

(Before he can make a painful landing on the concrete floor, Tails manages to swoop in and save Luigi while he's still airborne.)

Luigi: (Confused) Huh?

(Luigi looks up and meets eyes with the fellow sidekick, Tails, who gives him a welcoming smile.)

Tails: Hi, Luigi, longtime no see!

Luigi: Tails!

(Cut back to Donkey who has his eyes set on Tails, he then grabs the nearest gumball machine and prepares to throw it, but Naruto & Sakura spring into action.)

(Naruto kicks the gumball machine away while in midair while Sakura runs in on Donkey Kong to deliver a Tatsumaki Senpukyaku.)

Narrator: Did I get that right?

Author: Yes.

Narrator: Yea! First, try!

(Ahem… Though Sakura's kick connected, it had very little effect on Donkey Kong as she goes landing on her butt in front of him.)

(Donkey Kong then turns around glaring at a nervous Sakura.)

Sakura: (Wry) You looked like you had a sore neck, did my kick make it feel better?

(Donkey Kong roars and dives his fists down on Sakura but she manages to roll away with a backward somersault in a silly manner.)

(Naruto, Luigi, and Tails soon join up with Sakura to back her up.)

Sakura: King Kong is out of my league, my kick barely phased him.

(Not the least bit concerned, Naruto stands front and center and slams his fists together.)

Naruto: Then let's try again!

Naruto: Tails, here's your first lesson as my student, so listen up!

Tails: Ye-yes, sensei!

Sakura: (Confused) Sensei?

Naruto: Naruto's Training Session Number 1, TEAMWORK!


INT-MUSHROOM MALL-UPSTAIRS

(From the girl's restroom, we see a woman step out, but the camera is only focused on her golden armored pair of boots.)

(The unnamed woman then hears the commotion and walks toward the balcony to see the cause of the ruckus.)

Meanwhile…

INT-MUSHROOM MALL-DOWNSTAIRS

(Near the sporting goods section downstairs, Wario stops for a minute to catch his breath, but he knows that Drake is not too far behind, so continues forth.)

(Before Wario can get any farther, he turns around after spotting something at the corner of his eye.)

(Like a classic villain, Warrior rubs his hands together with pure giddiness.)

(Cut to Drake, who is now fully caught up.)

Drake: (Calling out) Can't run forever, Peter Dinklage-

Drake: Nah, that's a compliment, Peter's awesome...uh…

Drake: You're gonna run outta breath eventually, Eric Cartman.

Drake: And given your mass, it could take seconds.

(Drake around carefully near the sporting section and pulls out his gun since the area's empty.)

Drake: (Deadpan) I'm implying that you're fat.

(Drake hears the noise of an engine revving up from the opposite side of the escalator he's standing by.)

Drake: Oh...SHIT…

Drake: (Nervous) Please tell me that's not what I think it is.

*CRASH*

(A black monster truck with pink flaming stripes goes crashing through the escalators, making Drake almost fall on his butt from shock.)

(Cut to the inside of the Monster Truck, showing Wario getting ready to run over Drake, but gives him a chance to run.)

(Drake is nearly frozen in fear, knowing full well he can't outrun Wario on foot.)

Drake: (Sighs) So...uh, you don't mind giving me a 2-minute headstart, do ya'?

(Wario revs it up.)

Drake: (Deadpan) Yeah, I figured.

*PAUSE*

Player: (Sighs)...

(After a moment of clearing his head, the player gets another phone call.)
