And now, it's time for a review response.

DDK1993: Girl, you rock! That's an awesome idea! Thanks a lot! Only now people who read all the reviews know what happens! Oh well. Thanks anyway.

Nintendo HQ

Mario: And now we're up to our ears in maintenance problems. What else could go wrong?

Fox: Three light bulbs just burned out in the vault, sir.

Mario: (sighs) Well, let's go down there. I need to show you and Link something, anyway.

Microsoft HQ

Master Chief: Unless we implement a new plan soon, Nintendo will come out of this war unharmed. We have to remind them that we're higher up on the ladder.

Hunter: In the news there was a report from Sony. Seems like they're in the same boat as us.

Master Chief: Well, it looks like the only thing to do is wait. Until someone makes a move, this metaphorical boat is going nowhere.

Sony HQ

Cloud: If I don't get a serious promotion for this, someone's going to pay.

Daxter: What did you do? Finally get a 'Ready to Fight' meter so people know when to stand back and keep away from the coffee?

Cloud: No. I got something that is going to totally save us.

Daxter: We don't need saving.

Cloud: I mean if The Game ends up being a huge success. Of course, now it won't. This is going to be awesome, believe me.

Kira: What?

Cloud (pulls out a Gamecube game box marked 'Top Secret'): This!

Daxter: WOW! You got The Game! I bet we can transfer all the data onto one of our disks, then show commercials for it! But, we won't have our name on it, we'll say they're from Microsoft! Genius!

Cloud: Thanks.

Kira: This is perfect! Now nothing can stand in our way! Mwahahahahahahahaha(cough).

(Awkward silence)

Kira: What?

Cloud: Nothing.

Kira: Stop looking at me like I'm insane.

Nintendo HQ

(Mario, Fox, and Link are walking down a hallway, arriving at a door.)

Computerized voice: Please present authorization badges. (They do) Thank you. Please proceed, and have a nice day.

(They go further down a hallway, stopping at another door)

Computerized voice: Mario, please provide voiceprint identification.

Mario: Mamma mia!

Computer: Thank you, and have a nice day. (door opens)

(…)

Computer: Fox, please provide handprint identification. (Fox places hand on the finger pad) Thank you, and have a nice day.

(…)

Computer: Link, please provide Triforceprint identification. (Link holds up Triforce of Courage)

Thank you, and have a nice day.

(They walk through the door.)

Link: I guess all this security is necessary.

Mario: Yep. Ever since this has gone to total lockdown, we've had to be extra careful.

Fox: Well, let's hope it works.

(They arrive at a vault door)

Computer: Prepare for battle.

Link: This is new.

(Two redeads, several Goombas, and Wolf O'Donnell appear, at which point each of the Nintendo friends begin attacking their respective evil dudes)

Computer: Thank you, and have a nice day.

(They walk through the door and up to a platform with a box on it)

Mario: This is the first copy of The Game. Well, playable, anyway. Link, Fox, I want you two to try it out and compile a report…(Mario presses a button on the box, and the top opens; a small mini-platform slowly rises up from inside the box) (Cue the special FX smoke)

Mario: …because you're the experts. And I need to know if we need to make any changes, because if we do…OH MY GOSH! SWEET MERCIFUL MUSHROOMS, WHERE'D IT GO!

(Instead of a small game box on the platform, there is a notecard, bent in half to stand up on its own. It reads, Thanks for the present, Nintendo! It wasn't signed.

Link: This is the worst! As if things couldn't already GET any worse, now this! What's next? The computer breaks?

Fox: Shhhhh! Don't jinx it!

Mario: We must report this to Security immediately! (pulls out a radio) (speaking into radio) Get the head of Security down here this instant! And bring anyone who was on duty in the past twelve hours!

Radio: Roger that.

(Two seconds later, Falco, Samus, and Captain Falcon run through the door.)

Samus: What's wrong?

Captain Falcon: We're the only ones who've been on the job.

Falco: Hey, Fox.

Mario: Have you been keeping an eye on the video cameras?

Samus: Of course! 24/7!

Fox: Then what happened to it?

Falco: Happened to what?

Fox: The Game! It's been stolen!

Captain Falcon: Is this some kind of a joke?

Mario: No! It's gone! Now let's get back to the security camera room; I have to see who did this!

(Everyone runs up to the computer/security tech room)

Samus: Here's the fast-motion version of the last twelve hours. (A tape starts on the screen)

(Several minutes go by, and the only thing showing is the inside of the vault)

Falco: See? Nothing so far. We kept very careful track of everythi-(But suddenly, there is a shadowed figure on the screen. Captain Falcon immediately presses the stop, rewind, and play at normal speed buttons)

Mario: Who could that be? I don't recognize whoever it is.

Captain Falcon: Well, he or she must have pretty good sneaking skills if the alarms didn't go off, and they could get through all the security stuff.

Fox: No, you think? Chances are that he or she didn't go through security. The person just snuck in and stole it another way. (The person opens the box, sprays some kind of aerosol over it to check for alarm beams, avoids them, grabs The Game, then strangely fades out of the room.)

Samus: That is very strange. How could someone do that? It must be some kind of new technology.

Link: Let's watch it again. Maybe there is a clue somewhere. (They watch it again)

Falco: There! (stops video, then zooms in on person) Look at that symbol! It's like a flag. That could only be-

Fox, Mario, and Link: Microsoft.

Captain Falcon: Should we launch a full frontal assault, then?

Samus: I say sneak attack.

Mario: Calm down, everyone. We have to think carefully and logically about this. Special tactics must be applied. Now. Since Microsoft has our game, we need to get it back. Simple enough to understand.

Falco: What about exacting our revenge?

Mario: Oh, the day will come for that. We need to take this one step at a time, though. Don't be concerned about revenge. As soon as The Game is released, our revenge will come. And it will be sweet.

(Unknown to our Nintendo pals, it wasn't a Microsoft symbol. It was really a sign for the Playstation, but since the camera was at a weird angle and there was really bad lighting, it looked like the Windows flag. Maybe they should have replaced a few of those light bulbs a while back…)

Review. End of comment.

Review responses:

Fatalfeline:Yeah, I noticed. I'm using Squaresoft for Final Fantasy, though. Except Cloud, because he decided that Squaresoft is boring so he stayed and worked for Sony. And as for telling me how to write, can you please get that out of your head? I'm not using Pokemon. That's that. Thanks for the review!

Darkdragonknight1993: I'm pretty sure I already answered this, but it's a great idea. I'm not using Rikku. She scares me lots. Thanks for the review!

Zelinko: Is it really that bad? Or am I just deciphering this wrong? Oh well. Thanks for the review!

Review now. –horsie890
