A/N: I'm overheating in my sweatshirt. -.-; I don't wanna go to da Poconos. . . ::whine:: But my parents are making us go, and they're practically bribing us by telling us that we're going to The Crossings or somethin'. (A mall.) We can go to Park City here. Course, my parents never take me to the mall! ::sighs:: � Oh well. It'll be just us and my grandparents in the house, so there's definitely enough rooms this time! n.n . . . I'll end up sharing a bed with one of my sisters. � I'll just sleep on the floor. Last time we were up at the Poconos, a lot of our relatives were there, and me and my sisters slept in the living room. I wanted my own bed, so I slept alone on the inflatable mattress, but it started deflating during the night, and I was buried in the inflatable mattress. XD Ame said it's because I'm fat (I broke a desk on the middle school stage. . . it was already broken! T-T), but I think it deflated because it wasn't closed right or something. Oh well.
o.o; I just ranted about useless stuff. � Let's start over. . .
A/N: Next chapter!
NOTE: I'm calling the combined world "Earth." Just. . . because. If anyone knows, please let me know.
Banana Mana Mania
Chapter 1
"I'm telling you, monkeys are going to take over the world soon!"
Standing before him in a forest, Raine, Genis and Colette stared at him.
"Really, Lloyd?" Colette asked, as Raine and Genis facefaulted.
"He's been talking about this for years. Lloyd, there are no monkeys," Raine glared with cold eyes.
"Not now, but there will be!" He waved his arms. "Mr. Jungle Man said so!"
"Mr. Jungle Man?" Genis raised an eyebrow.
"I don't remember his actual name because I couldn't pronounce it, but I'm telling you, mon--"
"There's no monkeys, Lloyd!" the sage siblings yelled, as Lloyd went chibi with fear. "It was some stupid dream you had as a kid! Now, let it go!"
Lloyd was about to speak up when the rustling of leaves were heard above them. All four looked up to see a monkey jump out.
"Ooh, ooh ooh!"
"Omigoddess, a monkey!" Lloyd jumped behind the professor without thinking, and got a smack to the head.
"Cut it out!" Genis knelt down to the monkey. "Hey, buddy, 'sup?"
"Hey, I'm not your buddy! And you tell your stupid friend over there to shut-up." Everyone but Lloyd's eyes widened. "Oh, and another thing. You're dead." He kicked the half-elf's shin before running off with an evil chitter.
"Ow!"
"He. . . talked?" The professor seemed somewhat confused. "How is that possible?"
"Um, Professor?"
"Yes, Collette?"
She pointed from where the monkey came from. A stampede of monkeys were coming straight towards them.
"RUUUUN!!" They all got on their running feet and well, ran.
They kept running until they ran into a gray, brick wall. It was so long, it seemed like a dead end.
"What the hell?!" Lloyd looked up to see writing on the side of the building. "It's a building used for geek conventions!" He kicked the wall. "Damn geeks!-- OW! MY FOOT!"
"What do we do?!" Genis looked to his sister for the answer.
"Uh. . ." Long calculations of mathematics and spiders ran through her head. "I got it!" She quickly pulled out a flashlight and turned it on, facing it towards the sky. In the sky, an image of a spider glowed in the sky.
"Spiderman?! That's your plan?!" Genis yelled.
"You got any better ones?!"
". . . We could attempt to climb through one of the windows."
"That's stupid! We can't climb up this wall!" Raine was about to smack her brother over the head when Colette spoke up.
"Why don't we combine your ideas? We could get Spiderman to help us climb through one of the windows!"
". . ." All three stared at her as Spiderman swung over to them.
"I saw the signal! What do you need help with?"
"Help us climb through the window!" The former Chosen of Sylvarant chirped, and like that, Spiderman swung them up and through a window.
Banana Mana Mania
"Why didn't we just get him to catch all the monkeys in a web or something?" Genis glared.
"Ooh, then they would've been Spider Monkeys! You get it? In a spider web, and they're monkeys!" Lloyd fell over laughing.
"Lloyd."
"Yes, Professor?"
"That was ridiculously bad."
"Sorry."
"What are you dressed up as?" A geek poked Colette.
"Me? Oh, I'm Chi from Chobits!" She stuck beads in her hair and parted her hair in the back. "I didn't have a costume, so I just wore this."
"Awesome!" The geek snorted with a thumbs up and left.
"Nice one, Colette!" Genis complimented.
". . . no, really. I've been dressed like Chi this whole time. I'm a Chobits fan!" She got blank stares, as usual. "Why do you think I grew my hair so long?"
"Um, because it's pretty?" Lloyd tilted his head. "And if you're Chi, where's your ears?"
"You dropped them in the toilet, remember?"
"That's what those were? Oops. . ."
The wall suddenly blasted open, and monkeys came in. Geeks everywhere screamed and snorted crazily.
"Oh, crap." Genis said, before they were about to run away. But monkeys were behind them too. Before realization hit them, they were surrounded.
"We're surrounded!" Raine shouted.
"Hurray for Captain Obvious. The authoress just said that."
He got another thwack to the head before the monkeys snarled. They were frozen in place, until they cowered when the monkeys were about to attack. . .
All was quiet. They opened their eyes, thinking they were dead.
"Are we dead?" Lloyd asked.
"I don't think so," Raine answered.
The monkeys were gone. All that was left was the rubble of the convention, and a man with blue hair standing there, dressed in black. His face was hidden with sunglasses and a hat.
"Ooh, lemme guess! You're a guy from Men In Black?" Colette asked.
"It's Regal! Thank goddess!" Raine shouted.
"Who's this 'Regal' guy?"
They blinked. "You're not Regal?"
"No." He took off his hat and sunglasses to reveal his identity.
"Mr. Jungle Man! It's you!" Lloyd pointed before 'Ignogwa' nodded.
"So. . . wait, Lloyd wasn't?. . ." the sage siblings blinked.
"What's your real name again?. . ."
"Well, it was Ignogwa when I was 'Mr. Jungle Man,' but I switched over to the secret government of evil animals. Now it's James."
"So you're the guy on Team Rocket from Pokémon?"
"NO! This is a ToS fanfic, and I'm no friggin' crossdresser! Can we just move on to more important matters?"
"Why are you here?" Colette asked, needing another line.
"I'm here to help you stay alive to tell you what I needed to tell you."
"Um, okay?. . ." They all blinked.
"You need to stop these monkeys from taking over the world!" He stopped when something starting beeping. He took out a pager. "Dammit! Okay, not much time." He put it back and spoke again. "Go to the Balacruf Museum and meet up with your other assigned companions. I'll go get them real quick. There you'll find records on the monkeys. It has to do with the Great Yggdrasill tree, if that helps at all. I got to go, I have a meeting with donuts. Goodbye!" In a puff of green smoke, he was gone.
". . . Is it just me, or do our missions just get weirder?" Raine commented. "I mean, we had go around two different worlds with odd people to save the worlds by combining them and talking to random things to make pacts with them, and then resurrect some dying plant? So, then, after completing that, we have to go around, telling people not to hate half-elfs, but then we seem like those travelling missionaries, making more people hate us. Oh, and we go from door to door, asking for Expheres. And now we're going to get rid of a bunch of monkeys?"
"Sounds sane to me," Lloyd shrugged.
"It's all switched for you, Lloyd," Genis sighed.
"To the Balacruf Museum!" Colette shouted like a cheerleader.
NO MONKEYS, GEEKS, OR SPIDERMEN WERE HURT IN THE MAKING OF THIS CHAPTER.
A/N: If I offended anyone somehow, greatest apologies. I was using the typical geek appearance thing. XD I'm a geek myself, I guess, but I've never gone to a convention or anything. o.o;
I'm not sure if all my chapters are going to be this long. o.o; You see, my mom hasn't yelled at me for being on the computer since 10:30AM. . . well, she doesn't know I've been on that long, but she's been home since about 1 or 2 'o clock. (It's 3:31PM now.)
It's not quite what I had expected, but it's already fun to write. XD Please review, and I'll keep going! And if you don't like it, you get your money back! (Still $0)
