Rat Race.Anime Style!
Chapter 2
The Race is on!
I was in a feeling in the right mood so I though I'd type this up. Once again I don't own these characters or Rat Race. Shall we get on with it?
In the penthouse of the hotel the following morning, almost everyone was up there helping himself or herself to the buffet. The doors opened and Belldandy and Skuld walked in. "This is a very good room", remarked Belldandy.
They walked over to the table where the other winners where eating, especially Homer.
"Oh", said Vash to Piro, "You two are in vacation, that's good. On times like those you must try to have good memories of the places you go to." "If like a companion like mine", remarked Piro.
"Excuse me", asked Skuld to Largo, "What's going on here." "FR33 F00D is going on here." "Was that English", asked Homer. "No that was L33T", said Piro, "He said 'Free food is going on here'.
Belldandy walked up to Vash's side and said, "I know you, you're the $60,000,000,000 man, the Humanoid Typhoon. "Oh", whined Vash, "It wasn't my fault!" Beldandy interrupted and said, "Yes, but the Goddess Helpline was very busy that day to help those people because of you."
Just then the door opened and in popped a girl with orange hair and looked rather silly. "I won, hear me Ilpalazzo, I won this coin!"
She looked around and said, "What a beautiful room, have you ever see one." Homer looked around and said, "No." "Yes", corrected Piro, "we're in it."
"Thank you", said the girl, "I am Excel, now you're probably thinking, Excel is a name for a program by Microsoft right." "Yes, but also not all the time", responded Vash.
Excel then looked at the table. "Wow, I don't need to eat Menchi after all. Look at this food. I might as well get some nourishment!" With that said she began chowing down.
Skuld looked at her with disgust and grabbed Belldandy and said, "That's it. We're leaving this place."
However, just as she got to the doors, they opened and in walked a man with long white hair, fancy red clothes and a golden eye replaced his right eye.
Welcome all of you", said the man in a annoying voice (no offense to you Maximillion Pegasus lovers out there), "I am Maximillion Pegasus owner of Industrial Illusions and this promotional hotel." Looking stern he said, "We have only a limited amount of time, for a meteor the size of Canada is heading this direction. When it impacts everyone and everything will be destroyed. I built a bunker into this hotel to withstand the blast but it could hold only eight of us. I chose you seven to accompany me. When the crisis is over it will be up to us to repopulate and re-civilize the planet.
Everyone went into shock and Homer went into his motive, "AHHH! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! ! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" Suddenly Pegasus smiled and laughed. "I am so sorry! I just couldn't resist!"
Everyone sighed with relief. "It's okay fat man it was joke", said Excel. "Oh I knew that all along."
Pegasus pointed out the chairs, "Please everyone take a seat. Skuld you and your sister can sit over there." "How do you know she is my sister", asked Skuld. There was a gleam from Pegasus' golden eye and he said, "There are no secrets around here is there."
Just then Ranma came in through the door. He just leaned up against a column. "Ah, Mr. Saotome", said Pegasus, "Curiosity got the better of you again, but don't worry, you won't change into anything this time." "Wait", said Ranma, "How did you know." "Please have a seat", said Pegasus. "No I am okay!" said Ranma.
Soon a man with dark glasses came in the room. "This is my assistant Croquet, he barley has a personality." Croquet handed out some forms to the people. "Now", said Pegasus, "I need you to fill out these forms proclaiming that Industrial Illusions nor this hotel will be responsible for accidents or damages etc."
As everyone signed the forms, behind the big mirror some sinister figures were watching them. One of them said, "Who do you think?" Another said, "I think the young girl with markings on her face, she looks desperate yet intelligent." "Um, sir", said his assistant, "She has her sister with her sir." "Oh Poppycock!"
Everyone finished filling out the forms. "Good", said Pegasus, "Now here is the big tomalley! 700 miles from here in the state of New Mexico is Silver City." "Gold rush Silver City right", asked Piro. "That's right Piro! People struck gold there in 1870 making it the 2nd largest gold rush in history!" Pegasus paused for a sec to regain his composure then said, "In downtown Silver City there should be a train station and to the right of the door should be some lockers." Looking to Croquet he said, "Do you have the keys?" Croquet opened a box revealing six keys attached to rings that have the emblem of the hotel on it. "These are six identical keys that open the same locker, that is Locker 001."
Everyone took a key and looked at it curiously. "Inside the locker should be a red duffel bag and inside the bag is 2 million dollars!"
Everyone paused at this thought. "Now the first one there wins and whoever wins keeps all the money!" "Woah!" went everyone. "Well that's about it! Go!"
Everyone just stayed there and Vash said, "You just can't pick people at random!" "Hey I do what I choose! I own this place and I am a bit eccentric! Go!"
Piro asked, "So this is a race?" Pegasus responded, "That's right Piro!" "Here that Illprazzo", yelled Excel, "THIS IS A RACE! Hear me Ilpalazzo! I will win it then we will have more than enough money to rule the world and discipline it!" "So what are the rules" asked Piro. "There is only one rule ready. There are no rules! Go!" "No rules I can't lose! Woohoo", yelled Homer. "L33T", said Largo. "GO!" Pegasus yelled again. "So when you say go", asked Skuld, "you mean just go?" "Go, let the games begin, start. Technically speaking you have been racing for three minutes and so far Mr. Saotome is winning because he is the one nearest to the door!"
Everyone still refused to budge. Pegasus sighed and said, "Vash may I borrow you gun?" "Okay" Pegasus fired Vash's gun into the air and in the chaos everyone screamed. *********************************
Everyone was now outside in the elevator lobby. "Wow", said Homer, "2 million dollars!" "D4 I\/I0I\I3j is L33T!" said Largo. "I don't know", said Skuld, "this might be a scam. "But what if there is 2 million dollars", asked Vash. "It's too risky if you ask me."
As they were discussing this, the billionaires were watching this. Also Excel was pacing herself as if she were at a track meet.
"There's no way I am going for it", said Skuld. "No way for me", said Vash. "I am not stupid", said Homer. 'Yes you are', said his brain. "Shut up brain!" Homer responded. "1 D01\1+ +h1I\IK $0", said Largo "Translation", asked Homer. "He said 'I don't think so'", said Piro.
As they waited for the elevator Homer said slowly, "I . . . am going to . . . take the stairs. I need the . . . exercise." With that he quickly ran down the stairs.
"It might be stuck", said Vash, "I'll take the stairs too"
Minutes later everyone was running down the stairs. Well, everyone but Ranma Saotome. Soon Largo tripped and fell on Piro and soon everyone fell down the stairs onto on cramped area. "Wait a minute", said Vash, "If we are going to do this we might as well go together!" "Yea split the money 50 - 50!" exclaimed Homer. "50 - 50", asked Largo. "Well you know 50- 50 (mumbling gibberish) . . . . . . . . well you get the idea!" said Vash. "Yes that is a great idea," said Belldandy.
Suddenly Excel ran by and yelling, "I am in a race Ilpalazzo! I am winning! Excel! Excel! Excel!"
Everyone stared for a sec and started shoving each other off. ***********************
At the elevators the doors just opened and Ranma went in. Soon a housekeeper came near and asked him to hold the door open. "Sure", he said, "Plenty of time!" ********************
" . . . and their off!" said Pegasus. He turned from the monitors to his company. They were some of the greediest tycoons in the fantasy world, like Mr. Burns, his assistant Waylin Smithers, Geovanni, The Bonnes, Bowser, Dr. Robotnik (Eggman), and even Ilpalazzo himself.
"This is going to be a very interesting horse race gentlemen. It uses animals that can think cheat and, (chuckle) play dirty. This shows that I understand you men!" **********************
"Excel! Excel! Excel! I shall win this race for Ilpalazzo and for Across!" yelled Excel as she ran.
Meanwhile, nearby, Barney was playing darts and, being the drunk that he is, threw a dart into the lobby. The dart hit Excel in the forehead. She fell near a column and died. ************************
"What happened", asked Mr. Burns. "She's dead!" exclaimed Pegasus. "Oh this thing happens to her all the time", said Ilpalazzo, "She gets killed but she gets revived by the Great Will of the Macrocosm. She will rejoin momentarily." "But I bet 2 grand on her", yelled Geovanni. "Me too", yelled Bowser. "Sorry everyone all the bets are locked in", said Pegasus. ************************
"This is a major offer Marge! It will benefit the whole family", said Homer. "Where is this", she asked. "Oh, in Silver City, New Mexico", Homer replied. "Oh, gold rush!" said Lisa. "Well this sounds interesting, why don't we go with you", said Marge. "No you can't", yelled Homer. "Why?" asked Marge. "Because the room has been paid for see!" "I don't care! This is our family vacation, so we are going with you!"
As they headed out Bart asked, "So what is it this time Home boy?" "It's just a deal son." "Sure it is."
Homer brought him close, "Okay but don't tell this to anyone, not even you mother, Lisa or Maggie!"
He quickly whispered the truth in his ear. "Aye Carumba! Let's head out and get that loot!" "Promise me you won't", asked Homer. "Don't worry I'll keep this one covered!"
To be continued . . . . . . . . .
The Time Traveler: Well did you all like that! Excel: I got killed! I'll see you get killed for that! The Time Traveler: Don't worry you'll resume shortly! Vash: Besides this world is made of The TT& Vash: Love and Peace! The Time Traveler: Anyway, please review if you wish, and have a Happy Halloween!
