Chapter 2: A 'Shocking' Introduction
The place was American Airlines Center at Miami, Florida. The place was filling up to great lengths around 19,000 seats. Everyone from kids to teenagers to adults had shown up, getting ready for the fireworks to begin. The signs were definitely present all across the arena, with ones being a lot more vocal like 'Final Fantasy Lives Forever', 'Nathan Drake Rules', 'Mario 4 President', and especially 'Wright Me Up, Phoenix'.
After waiting around a good half-hour or so...
*BOOM!*
The fireworks had finally went off, blasting a wave of green, white and silver fireworks up in the air. It looked so magical, so majestic and so euphoric that it nearly looked like something from the movie "Fantasia".
After the fireworks were done blasting, 19,342 Detroit natives all gathered on their feet and cheered like crazy. The ovation felt so loud and shrieking that many of the fans eardrums were bleeding, but they didn't care. All they wanted to see was 50 video game characters fight off to the death just to be crowned the "World's Greatest Video Game Character". Aside from the screaming residents of Miami, the camera shot a look at the announce team sitting at ringside, which was Michael Cole, JBL and Jerry "The King" Lawler.
Michael Cole: Hello and welcome to beautiful Miami, for the first-ever Video Game Royal Rumble! I'm Michael Cole, and standing beside me are my broadcast partners, Jerry "The King" Lawler and JBL!
Jerry "The King" Lawler: I'm feeling excited about this Cole! We are talking about 50 characters from past, present and future video games! And the winner will not also win a million dollars, but they will be crowned "World's Greatest Video Game Character"! What an honor it's gonna be!
JBL: This is almost like a dream come true! I mean, think about all of the contestants that are gonna be in! You have Mario, Link, Fox McCloud, Guile, you have all the greats under one ring! This could be even way better than Super Smash Brothers, let me tell ya!
Michael Cole: Let's not wait any longer, guys! Let's head over to our very own Eden down at the ring.
After that, the camera got a good look at ringside where WWE ring announcer Eden Stiles (Cody Rhodes's wife) stood. After the bell rang, she introduced the matchup fans had been waiting for.
Eden: Ladies and gentleman, and welcome to the 1st annual Video Game Royal Rumble!
The crowd stood up in applause, feeling anticipated, pumped and psyched.
Eden: Before I explain the rules of the Royal Rumble, allow me to introduce to you a very special guest. Legendary video game character and one of the greats, Pac-Man!
Suddenly, the song "Pac Man Fever" started playing around the arena as everyone's favorite yellow circle with the mouth started entering from the curtain.
He was greeted by thousands of his adoring fans, who all came to see Pac-Man. Even though it wasn't that strong, the response he got was very luke-warm and well received.
Michael Cole: One of the greats in all of video games is here tonight!
Jerry Lawler: Truly a legend in this genre.
JBL: Definitely the one who started it all for every video game character we have tonight!
The minute he finally stepped in the ring, he was greeted by "PacMan" chants all over the American Airlines arena.
He was pleased by this crowd's reaction, and so far, he laid out a smile on top of it.
Pac-Man: I'll tell ya, it feels so good to be here in Miami, where the sun shines and the ladies came here to play. I love this. Anyway, I've come here to announce a proclamation surrounding the first-ever Royal Rumble. I hope the rest of you enjoy it!
And then, Pac Man pulled out what seemed to be a scroll.
While Eden was holding her microphone in front of his lips, Pac-Man pulled out the scroll, and spoke out these following words through a poem.
Pac-Man: The Video Game Royal Rumble/oh what a night/50 video game greats in one ring/oh, it's time for a fight/From Super Mario to Final Fantasy/Some will bring out the wrath/From Lara Croft's excellent cleavage/To the badass known as Cole McGrath/There will be ladders, tables and chairs/And every man for themselves/No one can escape Little Mac's punches/Or Kratos sending us to hell/I cannot tell you who will win/Oh, a mystery that I can't figure out/It's the only one who will be left standing/And stand victorious from the bout/It's time for a fight/There's no time to crumble/It's time to find out who will win/The Video Game Royal Rumble.
After his poem ended, he was given a tremendous ovation from the pumped-up Miami crowd. As soon as he exited out of the ring, he gave out a wave to his loyal fans, who kept on applauding him and his little proclamation.
As Pac-Man exited out, Eden finally announced the rules for the Rumble.
Eden: And now, let me explain the rules for the Sitcom Royal Rumble. Earlier today, the first two participants who drew numbers 1 and 2 will begin the event. And every 1 minute thereafter, another entrant will enter by the number that they choose. Remember, in the Royal Rumble, it is every man for themselves. Elimination occurs when a wrestler is thrown out over the top rope with both feet touching the floor. One foot will not count, both feet will. The last man who is remaining in the Royal Rumble after all forty-nine have been eliminated will be crowned the winner of the Video Game Royal Rumble and will also be crowned the 'World's Greatest Video Game Character'!
The crowd was on fire, having to wait patiently for who would be drawn first. Possibly, it was a bad omen for one of the 50 contestants, knowing they have to last a long time to get to the top.
JBL: I'm feeling excited here!
Jerry Lawler: Heh, you got that right!
Eden: And now, let us introduce the man who has drawn number one...
The crowd began shushing down, waiting for the first competitor to come by. After four seconds had passed, they heard the WarioWare theme song light up all across the arena. However for the first entrant, he responded to thousands of boos.
Entering from the titantron was a very fat, very overweight plumber who looked a lot like Mario. But instead of the red hat, red long sleeved shirt and blue suspenders, he was decked out with a yellow hat with the 'W' symbol on top, and a yellow long sleeved shirt which was covered by his purple suspenders, and pointy green boots.
Eden: From "WarioWare Inc.", Warrrrrrrrio!
Entrant #1: Wario
Jerry Lawler: Oh great, look who showed up.
JBL: Hey look at that, it's Wario! One of my favorites! Look at the fans, they love this guy!
Michael Cole: *to JBL* I guess you can say that, but unfortunately, not the kind of love that Wario's looking for.
JBL: *to Michael* Ah, you're just jealous because he's way more popular than you'll ever be.
After Wario had entered the ring, the crowd's boos increased all the way up. Despite this, Wario was not effected by the boos surrounding him. He was just glad to be here and in style.
As the boos died down, Wario had awaited the next entrant in the Royal Rumble.
Eden: And now, here is the man who drew number two...
Wario hopped around, hoping to get a taste of the next entrant.
But as soon as the 'inFamous' theme song played out to a big pop, Wario's heart sunk very low in fear. This wasn't very good for the fat plumber to be honest.
Coming out of the curtain was a man with a shaved head, white t-shirt, black pants and static electricity coming through his hands. He was greeted by this Miami crowd, who started chanting "Cole! Cole! Cole!" simultaneously. This man took in a smirk, being appreciated by the response. While he was walking down the aisle, Eden announced his name.
Eden: From "inFamous", Cole MacGrath!
Entrant #2: Cole MacGrath (inFamous)
Jerry Lawler: *chuckling* Oh no! Poor Wario!
JBL: Come on, this isn't fair! Why did Wario have to be in the ring with him?!
Michael Cole: It works just like that, John! There's no changing numbers in this Royal Rumble! You're stuck with what you've got!
JBL: I'm certain someone in the back switched numbers! This is ridiculous! Cole's nothing but a thief, plain and simple!
As Cole stepped inside the ring, he was engaged in an intense faceoff with the fat Wario.
Wario had no choice but to gulp deep down. In his point of view, Cole was a tall man with a mean smirk. He couldn't wait to get his hands all over the fat, out-of-shape plumber himself. And then, shock him to death so that he wouldn't be able to stand.
As afraid Wario was of that guy, he decided to take his chances and give out a deep breath. This was one battle that Wario was about to face for himself. Well, that is, if he could last long enough for the third entrant to help him
Jerry Lawler: I've been waiting to see this happen!
JBL: I'm not. Someone call a time-out on this! Do they have at least someone smaller for Wario to fight?
Michael Cole: Sorry John, that's the way it is! Either way, Wario's in for a fight!
The tense patience was getting to both men. Who would survive? Who would throw out the first punch? Who was gonna flinch?
Everyone would get their answer as a matter of fact...
...
...
...as soon as the bell rang.
Wow! So far, we've got Wario and Cole MacGrath starting us off in the Video Game Royal Rumble! It's sure to be interesting!
Anyway, will Wario survive against inFamous's personal shock-master?
Will anyone help Wario out of this jam?
And why am I thinking waffles with jam, by the way.
It's gonna get interesting as time goes, so make sure you tune in to the next chapter, to see what happens next! Until then, stay dry, stay clean and go make me fluffy waffles! Mmmmmm, waffles...
