Video Game Village

By: Metal Sonic EX

Disclaimer: I still don't own anything but the storyline. Why I keep having to say this, I don't know. Do I look RICH to you! Or, more appropriately, do I look like ANYTHING to you? I didn't think so!

Okay, now that I'm through with my little outburst, a quick couple of comments.. Lately, I've been thinking that if this fanfic gets lots of reviews, I might just make a sequel, so you can still E-mail me people you want to see in Video Game Village.

Next, the next chapter isn't going to feature Sonic and Shadow getting back at each other. Nor will Rouge be watching Beethoven. The next chapter will be a warlike scenario with lots of destruction, mayhem, and humor.

Now, normally these three genres wouldn't work together. Nor do they belong together now! I'm just that kind of sick, twisted individual that likes doing stuff like Sephiroth's Fantasia dance for the soul purpose of seeing people gouge their eyes out with icepicks!

And finally, the stranger's identity WILL be revealed shortly after the warlike chapter ends. Until then, I'll just throw random video games characters in for fun. So, without further ado, chapter twelve!

Chapter XII

A Prelude To Disaster

"What? Are you serious?" Spot had just finished telling the others about Operation Final Strike the following morning. Spot nodded. "How far are they?" Spot shrugged. "I don't think they're that far. Omega X was asking the others for some ideas." Sonic nodded, then turned to Shadow, Sephiroth, and Pac-Man. "Okay. You three, call anyone and everyone who's willing to fight for this village." They nodded. "Tails, Amy, Rouge, Knuckles, and Hatcher, you all begin setting our defenses up." They nodded and turned to leave.

Sonic looked at Spot. "Which leaves you and me to gain as much info about this as we can." Spot started. "I've got to go back in there? I haven't had a decent amount of sleep in nearly two whole days! TWO DAYS!" Sonic thought about this. "Good point. You get rested up. We'll get you when its time." Spot sighed. "Thanks." Sonic shrugged. "No prob. Listen, you sure you want to go back to your house?" Spot nodded and walked off. Sonic shrugged again.

Meanwhile, the baddies were thinking about their own problems. "Okay. You actually think that this will work?" Warhead nodded. He replaced the paper on the overhead. In case you've forgotten, this is what it looks like now:

Loath - Eating Doughnuts

Eggman - Alive (Unfortunately) P.S. Wiseass…

Warhead - Alive

Greedy - Conscious

Rez - Alive (Unfortunately)

Ansem - Dead (Good Riddance)

Sigma - Dead (Good Riddance)

Spooky - Dead (Good Riddance)

Wily - Annoying, Like Always

Metal Sonic - Still Missing A Head

Venom - Alive

Ripto - Dead

Reapermon - Alive or Dead, either or…

Omega X - Alive

Juno - Still Smiling

Greedy suddenly started. "What a sec!" Everyone turned to him. "Where's Venom? He disappeared around chapter… Uh… Three. I think…" Everyone else started. "That's actually an intelligent question." Elsewhere in the bad side of town, Venom was singing his… or her… favorite song. "Oh… The ittsy, bittsy spider went up the water spout! Down came the rain and washed the spider out!" Unfortunately, Venom was near the active PA system and the entire bad side of town heard this.

"What on God's green earth is that?" Everyone turned towards the PA system. "And the ittsy, bittsy spider went up the spout again! Thank you! Thank you! I'll be here 'til Thursday!" Eggman slapped his face and Warhead stood erect so fast, his head went through the roof. "I've got it!" Rez looked up at him. "You don't have it. You're going to get it. I mean look at the ceiling!" Warhead looked down. "What ceiling?" Rez slapped his face. "That's the point!"

Suddenly, Wily came running in. "We've got trouble!" Eggman raised an eyebrow. "Trouble?" As if on cue, the pink, Dutch, chainsaw juggling bunnies came walking in with their weapons raised. "At last! Thanks to you, human, we have been able to cross over from our world to yours." Warhead lowered his head so he could see what was going on. "What the… What did he do?"

The tallest bunny, obviously the leader, stepped forward. "He smoked weed so much that the barrier between the two dimensions vanished for a short period of time." Warhead glared at Wily. "I told you to stop smoking!" Another bunny spoke up. "Yes. Don't you ever read the surgeon general's warning?" Eggman looked at the bunnies. "Who exactly is this surgeon general warning anyways?" The bunnies pointed to the leader. "I am the surgeon general. And that reminds me."

The leader turned around and made a beckoning motion with his hand. One of the bunnies sighed and handed over a fifty-dollar bill. Everyone just watched as this happened. "I bet him that humans would be stupid enough to let us cross over to this world. Obviously, I won." Reapermon lowered his head to Omega's ear. "Kinda reminds you of us, huh?" Omega nodded.

Eggman suddenly began rubbing his chin. "Does it matter whether a robot or human frees you?" The bunnies quickly huddled and began speaking in Dutch. They turned around after a few seconds. "After many months of debating…" Everyone raised an eyebrow. "We have decided that it does not matter." Eggman quickly jotted something down into his notebook. "Okay. If robots were able to smoke without harm to themselves, would you be able to stay here?" The leader raised an eyebrow. "Um, well… I guess so…" Eggman smirked and turned around. "Rez! Warhead! Start smoking! We've just got ourselves new allies!"

"Woah! Hold on! They didn't even agree to it yet!" The leader began rubbing his chin. "If you allow us to stay here, we will gladly help on your quest for… whatever." Warhead sighed. "Fine fine. I'll smoke. Where's the joint?" Wily reached into his coat and removed a large box. He handed in to Warhead. When he opened it, joints of different sizes, colors, and flavors were lined up. "Take your pick."

Warhead looked at Wily and he began freaking out. He turned around and jumped out of the window. "What did you do?" The baddies and bunnies watched as Warhead put the box down and began crawling out of the window. "I gave him my death glare. He's a dead man." With that, Warhead took off after Wily. They were all silent until the bunny leader looked at Eggman. "Does this happen often?"

Outside of the front door to the hideout, Sonic was eavesdropping, trying to get as much info on Operation Final Strike as he could. "So, they're bringing in bunnies, eh? What a sec…" Sonic started as realized something. "How'd Shadow get out of jail?"

-Flashback-

Shadow was spending his first night in jail. He was in the same cell as Bass, but he was looking away from him. Shadow made a 'humph' noise and Bass poked him on the shoulder. Shadow turned around and saw Bass holding a nail file. "Bass… I just started liking you a bit more!" The two then jumped to the cell bars and got to work.

-End Flashback-

"Meh. I guess it doesn't matter right now." Back inside the hideout, the bunnies and the baddies just struck the deal and Greedy was passing out flyers that explained Operation Final Strike. He laid two copies aside for Wily and Warhead. He finished passing them out and he still had one copy. For no reason, he exited the hideout, saw Sonic, and handed him the flyer. "Eggman wanted me to give this to you." With another word, Greedy returned to the hideout, leaving a stunned Sonic behind. "Um… Okay…" Sonic shrugged and ran off.

When Greedy returned, Eggman looked at him. "Greedy, do you still have that extra copy? If so, then Venom still needs a copy." Greedy looked at Eggman. "Sorry. I just gave it to that blue hedgehog who was obviously eavesdropping." Everyone gasped at this and Eggman's eye began twitching. "You gave it to who?" Greedy pointed at the door with his thumb. "I gave it to that…" Greedy finally realized who that hedgehog was. "Oops." Eggman just looked at Greedy until… "KILL HIM!"

Everyone started beating Greedy's already unconscious body to a pulp as Eggman jumped into his hovercraft. "You deal with him and I'll get the hedgehog!" He flew out of the window, but it was a bit late for that. "Hey Sonic!" Sonic came to a stop outside Pac-Man's house. Everyone was there, so he handed the paper to Tails. "Greedy just gave this to me." Pac-Man started. "Greedy? As in his Greedy?" Pac-Man pointed to Ristar, who shrugged. "It doesn't come as a surprise. I always knew that he was stupid."

Tails suddenly cried out in alarm. "What? What is it?" Sonic looked at his friend and Tails pointed to an advertisement for Farmer Jack's. "Meat's on sale! Buy two, get three-fourths free!" Everyone sweatdropped and Sephiroth took out his sword, which Shadow 'gave' to him before he was arrested. "Okay. You guys hold him and I'll make this quick." Shadow pushed the blade away. "That won't be necessary. Look!" Everyone looked up and saw Eggman's hovercraft float into view. "Give me it! Give me the…"

Everyone's jaws dropped as Tails stood up and handed Eggman the flyer. "Um… Okay… See you later!" Eggman flew away at almost supersonic speeds. Sonic turned to Tails and blew up. "What was that!" Tails smirked as he pulled the flyer out of nowhere. "You'll see."

Eggman was trying to figure out how it had been so easy to take the paper back when he looked at it. It wasn't the flyer, but it was funny. It read: Eggman sucks monkey balls! Do da! Do da! Eggman sucks monkey balls! Da do da day! Eggman came to a screeching halt, tore the paper up, and quickly flew back to the group. "Wiseass! Now give me the paper before I…" Pac-Man smirked and pointed to something behind Eggman. "Before you realize that you've long since passed the yellow line?" Eggman started and whirled around to see that he was right.

Eggman then whirled his head into the air and saw nothing but blue sky and a few scattered clouds. Eggman shoved a figure in Pac-Man's face. "Ha ha!" Sonic pointed up at the sky. "Touché!" Eggman looked in the sky again and saw a bright, multi-colored laser heading straight for him. He cried out in alarm and began hovering away wildly. The laser landed and followed Eggman. Vectorman, who was flying through the air because he was bored, looked down and saw the laser chasing Eggman. As a matter of fact, it was spelling out 'Somebody help me!'. Vectorman shrugged and continued.

When he and the laser disappeared, Sonic turned to Shadow. "Okay. Who'd we get?" Shadow pulled out a notebook and started on the first page. "Okay. We've got Croc, Gex, Spyro, Frogger, Crash Bandicoot, Mario, the Zeros, four of the Megaman series, and a couple Robot Masters." Sonic raised an eyebrow. "Robot Masters? Aren't they…" Shadow shrugged. "Guess they don't like Wily." Sonic made a 'huh' noise and turned to Tails.

"You done reading that yet?" Tails nodded. "We should be able to build our defenses to counter anything that they had planned." Sonic smirked. "Good. Now about the Robot Masters…" Sonic turned to Shadow and he began reading the names off.

(A.N. The following are just my favorite Robot Masters. They don't actually become good in the games. So, here you are!)

"Okay. We've got Elecman, Cutman, Bombman, Iceman, Gutsman, Fireman, Metalman, Crashman, Quickman, Heatman, Shadowman, Geminiman, Topman, Snakeman, Dustman, Ringman…" Shadow inhaled deeply. "Chargeman, Crystalman, Gyroman, Plantman, Tomahawkman, Slashman, Tenguman, Frostman, and Searchman." Shadow fell to ground and began gasping for air.

Sonic whistled. "Wow! We've got twenty-five out of what?" Tails did a few quick calculations. "We've got twenty-five out of sixty-two. That's about 40 of all of them. But, hey! It's better than nothing, right?" Pac-Man nodded. "Wonder what they're doing now?"

Meanwhile, on an island far, far away, the Robot Masters were celebrating. "All hail those who weren't too damn lazy to help out!" Seven of the twenty-five Robot Masters were actually going to help out. But I can't tell you who they are, okay? Good. Anyways, Frostman waved his hands in the air. "Wait! Wait! Wait!" The crowd grew silent. "I've got something to say." He looked around the room before lifting up a… "POPSICLE!" Everyone just stared at him until Shademan spoke up. "Okay. To go into public and just randomly say that, then you're definitely a sped."

(A.N. Please note that I haven't played games like Battle & Chase or Megaman & Bass. So forgive me if I get stuff wrong.)

Burnerman stood up. "Hey, Shademan! Leave the guy alone! It's not his fault that he's retarded!" Frostman nodded in agreement. "Yeah! It's not my fault that I'm… Hey… Wait a second…" Shademan smirked. "Hey Burnerman." He looked up and Shademan gave him the finger. "Bite me." Burnerman just stood there for a few seconds. "Oh! It's on now, bitch!" Burnerman leapt over the table and the two began beating the crap out of one another.

Heatman jumped on the table. "Alright! Riot!" He jumped into the air and landed on his rear end not too far from the fight. He stood up, rubbed his butt, turned around, had his leg pulled from underneath him, and got dragged in the cloud of smoke. "Dun nuh dun nuh dun nuh dun nuh! Batman!" A loud crack was heard. "You're a freakin' dead man!" Another loud crack was heard. "Bite me, bat boy!" The sound of metal being pierced was heard. "OW! Damn it! I didn't mean literally!"

The cloud disappeared when Shadowman grabbed Burnerman's arms and Magnetman grabbed Shademan's. Neither of them had a scratch, save the bite mark on Burnerman's arm. "How did you two… Oh…" Elecman's question was answered when all eyes turned to what was left of Heatman. There wasn't much to look at, but he was still alive. Plantman stood up. "Hey, are you okay, man?" Heatman looked at him. "Oh, I'm fine. I'm giddy. I'm so happy right now, I think that I'll break into SONG AND DANCE! Do I LOOK okay to you!" Everyone backed up after this outburst.

Elecman cleared his throat. "Okay. To change the subject, let me get this straight. The Robot Masters who are going to Video Game Village are BLEEP, BLEEP, BLEEP, BLEEP, BLEEP, BLEEP, and BLEEP. Right?"

(A.N. Well, I did say that you weren't supposed to know their names, right?)

Everyone nodded. 'Great. Then its settled. They'll set off tonight and may we wish the best of luck to you." Everyone began cheering and soon began chanting the name of the lucky Robot Masters.

Back in the Video Game Village, the baddies were doing the same thing. Well, almost… "GO! GO! GO! GO! GO!" Warhead and Rez were racing, seeing who could smoke the most in five minutes. All of the windows were opened and yet smoke was everywhere. When the race was over, Warhead won and began dancing around when Wily suddenly clutched his chest. "Hey! Are you okay?" Wily stopped clutching his chest, returned to his normal look, and fell down.

"What the…" The bunnies began snickering. "We can see what killed him from here!" Eggman, who'd managed to outrun the laser, raised an eyebrow. "The cause of death?" The leader bunny nodded. "Yup. Lung Cancer!" Warhead stopped dancing, scribbled something down, and slammed it onto the overhead.

Loath - Missing

Eggman - Alive (Unfortunately) P.S. Wiseass…

Warhead - Alive

Greedy - Conscious

Rez - Alive (Unfortunately)

Ansem - Dead (Good Riddance)

Sigma - Dead (Good Riddance)

Spooky - Dead (Good Riddance)

Eggman noticed something. "What happened to the Bonnes on your list?" Warhead looked at him. "They've been off the list for some time now." Greedy turned to Warhead. "Yes. But why?" Warhead chuckled. Meanwhile, in a ruin underground, the Bonnes were making the best of their situation. "How long do you think we've been locked in here?" Tron shrugged. "I dunno. A couple chapters, at least." Teasel nodded. "Got any sevens?" Tron slammed her hand into the ground and handed the cards to him. "Bastard."

In the good side of town, Spot woke up and rejoined the group. "I suck at fighting though!" Pac-Man nodded. "Perhaps. But we need all the help we can get." Spot threw his hand to the left of them and a ball of 7-up went flying. "I'm not sure how much help that's gonna be." Pac-Man thought about this. "Good point. In that case…" Spot interrupted. "In that case, I'll watch after your kids." Pac-Man started. "Come on. It's the least I could do." After a bit of persuasion, Spot talked Pac-Man into it.

"Fine. But if any of them wind up…" Spot backed up. Don't worry. I've dealt with my fair share of psychopaths before. I think I'm good to go." Pac-Man raised an eyebrow. "Psychopaths?" Spot rubbed his hands together nervously. "Never mind. It would be better if you didn't know." Pac-Man's eyes narrowed as Sonic came running up. Shortly behind him were Shadow, Tails, Sephiroth, Spyro, and Crash Bandicoot. "Ready guys?" Spot began walking to Pac-Man's house, waving to him in the process. "Give me a sec." Spot paused and turned as Pac-Man began walking towards him. They both stopped when Rouge, Amy, and Knuckles came running up.

"We don't have a second! Look!" Rouge thrust her finger towards the yellow line that was a few hundred yards away. Spot freaked out when he saw this and began running for his house. "I've got to grab something!" Pac-Man started at this. Spot didn't like being close to violence. And yet, he was running towards the line that the final bosses, dressed as if ready for a war, were looking at. "Everyone ready?" When the baddies cheered, Eggman smirked. "In that case, let's take this village by force." And they crossed the line.

Meanwhile, in the real world, the stranger was getting annoyed. "I've gone through this whole forest at least FIVE times already, and I haven't found a damn thing! The store manager's a…" The stranger stopped when he heard a noise to his left. He whirled around with his bazooka. "Who's…" The stranger started when he saw a cave in front of him. "That wasn't there before." He carefully walked in and soon began falling. When he landed, he cursed the forest and looked at a tree. To his surprise, it looked more pixilated than the trees he'd just seen. And that meant only one thing. He smirked that evil smirk again. "Well well. So, I've finally arrived at the dimension of Video Game Village."

In the next chapter, the war between the baddies, the good guys, and the bunnies begins and backup comes at an unexpected time. Tune in next time when a war starts up between The Good, The Bad, And The Bunnies. And guess what? It's that time again! No, its not time to get a facelift. It's time for more pointless questions! Yay!

Why did Spot run back to his house?

What evil have the final bosses created this time?

What will the stranger do now that he's in the Video Game Village dimension?

Will the good guys be able to tell Spot of the stranger's arrival in time?

Who is this mysterious stranger anyways?

When will I stop with these pointless questions?

Why is this fanfic so much shorter than I thought it would be?

And will I make a sequel?

I have the answers, but the only way that you'll ever hear them is if you Read and Review!

Sonic: Now you're turning to blackmail, eh?

Metal Sonic EX: -hits Sonic on the head with a tire iron- Shut up! You're not wanted here.
