Chapter 5: Rope Burn
MXC is back once more classic battle between Fox Kids Action and Comedy. You love to see it!
Right after the announcer was finished doing his usual welcome-back-from-the-break intro for the fourth time, the camera switched back over to the studio where Vic and Kenny were still busy cleaning the blue paint right off their bodies. And no doubt they were still pissed about what occurred before the break involving both of them and Elmyra.
"Hello everyone and welcome back," Vic replied to the camera before telling Ken, "Some kind of break we had, huh?"
"Don't remind me, I had to kick that intern's sorry little tail for him moving those paint bombs from the field when I wanted to prank Elmyra." Kenny pointed out, still looking pissed off as usual.
"I don't blame you, Ken." Vic shook his head, "But you'll be happy to know that after this game, you'll be taking part in a bit of an experiment that our good friends Pinky and The Brain are planning at this moment."
"Well, whatever it is, I better not get blown up or anything." Kenny replied in disgust.
"Kenny, I reassure you, you're not gonna get blown up this time." Vic said, reassuring him like a friend would. "What they're building is 100% safe for you to handle."
"I hope you're right! Because otherwise, I can't take it getting blown up like this." Kenny muttered.
Vic soon let out a groan, "Geez, Ken, you act like I'm somewhat gonna lie to you about getting blown up."
"Well it's happened before, and I refuse to believe you one bit." Kenny shook his head as if he wasn't believing Vic for a second.
Groaning yet again in front of his friend, Vic said with a gripping voice, "Look, if it makes you any better, what about I take your place and do the experiment myself just to prove to you IT WON'T BLOW UP?!"
"Thanks, that's all I ever ask for!" Kenny groaned back.
"Good," Vic nodded, "Now let's go right back to the Captain!"
With Kenny and Vic sitting still inside the studio, the camera immediately switched over to an empty field filled with five various ropes, which were draped under five various walls. From there, the camera got a good shot at Captain Tenneal and the clean white suit he was now sporting.
"Thanks, fellas." Captain Tenneal replied before saying, "Our next event is called Rope Burn. Now in this challenge, our players must choose between one of these five ropes. From there, our contestants must engage in a tug-of-war battle and the objective is to beat them by pulling them past the big white line. Who they're facing through these mysterious five walls will be anyone's guess. Anyway, good luck to all and…"
The captain immediately took one big pause as he blew his whistle and shouted, "GET IT ON!"
"Thank you, Captain." Vic replied off-screen, "Anyway, first up for Fox Kids Action…"
Vic paused his sentence long enough for the first contestant to enter, which happened to be a woman with a yellow trenchcoat, pink shirt, blue hot pants and short black hair that complimented her pink-shaded glasses.
"Don't do drugs!" Jubilee shouted out.
"It's Jubilee from X-Men!" Vic exclaimed.
"I really dig her shades," Kenny said, pointing right at her pink glasses, "Reminds me of Bret "The Hitman" Hart."
"Right you are, Ken!" Vic said in return. He then got a good look at Jubilee grabbing what appeared to be the fourth rope. "And it looks like Jubilee will be pulling the rope that contains wall #4."
As soon as she tightly grabbed onto the rope, Jubilee waited patiently until Captain blew the whistle in full-blast, forcing Jubilee to pull the rope with all of her might. Yet for some reason however, she didn't seem to move her entire feet at all.
"There we go, Ken!" Vic pointed out.
Kenny then raised his eyebrow while saying, "What on earth is she pulling, by the way?"
As Kenny asked that exact question though, the camera scrolled right behind the wall to see that the rope Jubilee was pulling on had reveal a big tractor
"My goodness, that's not gonna be good for Jubilee!" Vic shrieked, "Look at what she's gotta deal with!"
Kenny also pointed out, "Oh man, a tractor? That can't be good for her!"
Jubilee attempted to pull again but only for the tractor to pull the rope itself, forcing the mutant to push backwards for her life in an attempt to change the momentum on her side. It would be to no avail at all as Jubilee's face went smackdab into the wall, knocking her down and letting go of the rope.
"How humiliating for Jubilee right there, Ken!" Vic shouted.
"Yeah, especially since she's already graduated from the Mutant Academy!" Kenny nodded, "Too bad those skills should've helped her out there."
"Indeed." Vic nodded while at the same time seeing Jubilee groan in defeat.
It wasn't long before the camera scrolled over to the next contestant standing alongside the Captain. She was short, had familiar auburn hair, decked out in a teal dress and possessed a teal bow around her head with a skull attached to it.
"I love my bubbsy-wubbsy animals!" Elmyra declared to everyone watching at home.
Kenny immediately saw her and let out an annoyed groan, "Oh great, this girl? You gotta be kidding me, Vic…"
"I'm afraid so, Ken," Vic said with a brief pause before saying, "Because next up for Fox Kids Comedy, it's the spawn of Satan herself from Tiny Toon Adventures, Elmyra Duff!"
"I'll say, she's a danger to all animals around." Kenny nodded, "I'm thankful Furrball is still alive after all of the crud she's pulled off on him."
"You and I both, Ken." Vic nodded.
After a few milliseconds of deciding, Elmyra immediately went over to rope #1 and grabbed onto the rope itself, waiting patiently for the Captain to blow his whistle as hard as he could.
"There we go, Elmyra going for rope #1." Vic pointed out.
"Yeah, I wonder what she's gonna get, Vic?" Kenny asked his partner.
The Captain finally blew out his whistle just in time for Elymra to send herself flying and crashing onto the wall, surprising Kenny out of his seat.
"OH GEEZ!" He said with a yelp.
"What an impact that was, Ken!" Vic nodded.
Kenny then asked with curiosity, "I wonder what the heck was behind that wall?"
The camera managed to scroll out fast enough behind the wall to see an enraged elephant run all around in circles, all while dragging Elmyra helplessly as she hung on for dear life.
"Well, now we know why, Ken!" Vic pointed out again.
"Oh nice, she chose an elephant!" Kenny smirked, "You might as well say that her animal abuse has finally caught up to her."
"Right you are, Ken!" Vic said, smirking as well.
The rampage the elephant caused all by himself managed to last for several seconds before it finally wore him out, leaving Elmyra to stop in her tracks and take in a breather after holding onto that rope for so long.
That breather wouldn't last long though when all of a sudden…
*CRASH!*
The big giant elephant collapsed down on Elmyra, smashing his big butt all around her in the process therefore breaking every bone in her body that she had.
"OH, DEAR GOD!" Kenny shrieked.
"Dear god is right, Kenny!" Vic nodded, "She's broken in pieces!"
"Oh, I'm definitely making this my MXC Impact Replay for sure, Vic!" Kenny nodded as well.
As Elmyra struggled to break free from the crushing weight of the elephant's giant butt, the MXC Impact Replay started playing out her entire run all while focusing on the part where the big elephant crushed Elmyra in one single sitting.
"I'll tell you, this must be one horrifying ordeal that Elmyra wants to wish never happened to her!" Vic exclaimed.
"Too bad it already did, Vic." Kenny replied without any sympathy for Elmyra whatsoever, "Now she can have the nurses tend to her through a breathing tube. If that is, she can still breathe."
"Got a good feeling she won't, Ken." Vic said, shaking his head in the process.
Once the replay was over and done with, the camera immediately turned over to the next contestant, who wore a pink jumpsuit along with her signature pink helmet that best resembled a pterodactyl.
"I don't leave home without my makeup!" The Pink Ranger shouted.
"And next up for the FOX Kids Action Team, it's Kimberly Hart aka The Pink Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!" Vic exclaimed.
Kenny instantly saw her in an instant, and felt so lovestruck that he nearly fell out of his seat in front of Vic. Thankfully, he still kept his balance long enough to smirk out, "Oh, man, I can't tell you how much of a crush I had on her growing up, Vic!:
"Whatever kind of crush you had as a child, Ken! Please keep it to yourself!" Vic groaned.
"Relax Vic, I'm not going that far!" Kenny said to Vic, all while rolling his eyes. "Yeesh, you act like I'm going back to my old habits or something!"
"Well sometimes, I can feel you're gonna slip out one of these days!" Vic shot back.
As both Vic and Kenny continued to argue in defense for each other, Kimberly instantly went over to rope #3 and grabbed on it very tight, waiting patiently for the Captain to blow his whistle for her run to begin.
"There we go, Kimberly's got rope #3 in her hands!" Vic pointed out instantly.
"This outta be a good one," Kenny replied, rubbing his hands in nervous anticipation, "I don't know what I'd do if she lost here."
After a few seconds of waiting however, The Captain blew out his whistle forcing the Pink Ranger to pull her rope right away, feeling what seemed to be a heavy tug. Then, all of a sudden, the camera looked through the wall to see the recipient Kimberly was tugging against, which was one of the show's interns, Danny Glands!"
"I don't think that you have to worry too much, Ken!" Vic replied, "Kimberly's going one on one against our very own, Danny Glands!"
"I think Kimberly's got a shot against someone as light as Danny." Kenny pointed out.
"I think you might be right!" Vic nodded, "This is definitely gonna be one interesting contest at best!"
The two competitors ended up tugging their rope back and forth to see which one would end up losing their footing first. It lasted for about several seconds before Danny noticed his nose was starting to itch with a speck of dust. This was the distraction Kimberly herself needed to pull Danny right past the white line, therefore smacking his face all the way down and earning her team a score.
"Oh, faceplant by Danny Glands!" Vic exclaimed, "That cost him big time!"
"Just what I like to see. Kimberly totaled him just like that!" Kenny nodded.
"Right you are, Ken!" Vic nodded as well, "And with that, she scores it for the action team, 5-3!"
Right after Kimberly was finished celebrating her victory, the camera quickly switched over to the next contestant standing right beside the captain. The next contestant's appearance of course was quite a strange one considering the fact it was an anthropomorphic German Shepard wearing a detective's getup with the brown trenchcoat and whatnot.
"Forget about it." Ace replied.
"And next up for the Fox Kids Comedy, the canine detective from Jim Henson's Dog City, Ace Hart!" Vic pointed out.
Kenny chuckled a little before saying, "You know for a minute, I thought it was that dog from All Dogs Go To Heaven. If that is if he stole that trenchcoat from that "Take a Bite out of Crime" PSA's."
"Laugh all you like, Ken, but Ace is a pretty darn good detective." Vic nodded as he saw Ace grab rope #2 from his paws. "Speaking of which, he's got a hold of rope number #2."
"Yeah we'll see if that'll come into play!" Kenny nodded back to Vic.
After only milliseconds of waiting, the Captain blew his whistle out fullblast, leading Ace to tug onto the rope and pull with the strength that he had inside him. For some weird reason, his feet didn't seem to move for some weird screwed-up reason.
"Man, this must be one big rock I'm movin'..." Ace muttered to himself as he continued to pull.
"Ace is definitely having a hard time here." Vic pointed out.
Kenny then raised his eyebrow and asked himself, "You think he's actually moving a giant rock, Vic?"
"Not that I'm sure of, Ken!" Vic shrugged in an unsure way.
Ace continued to pull on that rope until all of a sudden, a big burst of water blasted right through wall #2 and blasted Ace so hard, he let go of the rope and sent himself flying thanks to the impact he took from that water blast.
"Whoa, what on earth?!" Kenny shrieked.
"Ace got blasted big time, Ken!" Vic nodded, "Look at him, he's drenched!"
Kenny said with a scoff, "Huh, if that wasn't a rock he was pulling, what was he pulling instead?"
As soon as Kenny asked that exact question, the camera shifted over the wall to reveal a fire hydrant that was attached to the same rope that Ace was pulling on.
"Huh, now we know why, Ken!" Vic pointed out.
"I guess when you gotta go, you REALLY gotta go, Vic!" Kenny smirked, making a bit of a fire hydrant joke.
"Indeed!" Vic nodded, agreeing with Ken.
Meanwhile, as Ace was busy drying himself off in the process, the camera quickly shifted over yet again to the next competitor, who was decked out in an all brown jumpsuit, brown boots with an orange cape, and a brown ponytail around the back of his head.
"I can fly!" Peter Pan shouted.
"And last up for the Fox Kids Action Team, it's Peter Pan from one of Fox Kids's earliest cartoons, Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates!" Vic pointed out once more.
"Hey Vic, is this Peter Pan different from the Disney version?" Kenny said, raising an eyebrow.
Vic nodded as he said, "I think so, Ken. The difference is that this version doesn't read and is quite reckless when it comes to the things he does."
"Oh, so he's more like a chaotic version of Peter Pan, then?" Kenny asked yet again.
"Well, I wouldn't say chaotic, Ken…" Vic muttered out before seeing Peter Pan lift up rope #5, "But anyway, Ken, looks like Peter Pan's got a hold of rope #5."
Once Peter Pan grabbed the rope, the captain blew his whistle just in time for Peter Pan to pull onto the rope and muster up every ounce of his strength he had. However, the rope he was pulling ended up pulling Peter Pan forward to the point where Peter's body hit smackdab right across the wall, making him let go of the rope.
"Welp, that didn't last long, Vic!" Kenny shook his head.
"It sure didn't, Ken!" Vic said, shaking his head as well. "And we're gonna see what Peter Pan was tugging on."
The people watching at home would soon get that answer as the camera scrolled behind the wall, only to see that the rope that Peter Pan was pulling was attached to a big cow running amok in circles.
"Oh, talk about horrible luck, Ken." Vic replied, "Peter Pan chose a cow for his downfall!"
"He can fly but he definitely can't pull cows for the heck of it." Kenny shook his head.
"No he could not." Vic shook his head as well before saying, "Let's go down to Guy and see what's what."
After Peter Pan was found groaning in defeat, the camera instantly turned it over to Guy LeDouche (who was still in his torn ratty clothes from earlier) standing right beside a defeated Peter Pan in front of a grassy field.
"I can't believe you drew a cow out of all things." Guy asked Peter before replying, "How must that feel?"
"It was almost like being chased by Captain Hook and his dirty crewmates without them stopping one bit." Peter Pan replied back.
"I would hate to imagine that from your point of view." Guy nodded, feeling the same way Peter was feeling.
"No kidding," Peter Pan nodded back before asking Guy, "Although there's one thing I have to ask myself."
"What might that be?" Guy said, raising an eyebrow.
Peter Pan asked with curiosity, "Why are you interviewing me in your boxers?"
Guy immediately blushed with embarrassment saying, "I really don't want to talk about it…"
As soon as the interview came to an end, the camera shifted right over to the last contestant of the Fox Kids Comedy team, which just happened to be a furry orange platypus that was dressed in a backwards teal hat and overalls.
"I'm not supposed to jaywalk!" Daniel shouted.
"And there we go, last up for Fox Kids Comedy is one-half of the Platypus Brothers from Taz-Mania, Daniel Platypus!" Vic pointed out.
"He should be lucky he and his brother are still standing on their own two webbed feet." Kenny said out of disgust.
Vic said to his partner with an annoyed groan, "Geez Kenny, are you still getting tired about being blown up?!"
"I have every right to be, Vic." Kenny replied in a disgruntled voice, "Every single experiment I've been part of always has something bad happening to me!"
"Well if you have a problem with it, Ken, take it up to the producers and writers, not me!" Vic exclaimed in defense, all before seeing Daniel approach rope #3, "And here we go, Daniel's decided to go for rope number three there."
"Yeah, I wonder if he's gonna get a tractor or a fire hydrant?" Kenny asked Vic.
"Could be, you just may never know!" Vic said with an unsure shrug.
"That's the whole fun behind this game." Kenny nodded.
"Right you are, Ken!" Vic agreed.
Daniel waited for a good several seconds before Captain Tenneal grabbed his whistle and blew it full-blast, letting Daniel pull onto the rope tightly as he could. It wasn't long before the camera scrolled right behind the wall to see the large big-headed samurai Skanky pull on the same rope Daniel was pulling right now, therefore turning this into a back-and-forth tugfest!
"Oh, it seems that Daniel's gonna get our very own Skanky!" Vic pointed out again.
"Good, I can't wait to see Daniel get turned into roadkill." Kenny muttered angrily once more, "He deserves it for the heck I've been through."
So far, what Kenny said would turn out to be right. Using every ounce of his strength whatsoever, Skanky pulled the rope so hard that it immediately sent Daniel flying headfirst into wall #3, forcing him to let go onto the rope and hold his head very painfully due to the impact!
"I think you just got your wish, Kenny!" Vic pointed out yet again.
"Indeed I did," Kenny nodded, "He's so flat you can flip him easily using a spatula."
"That I can agree with, Ken!" Vic nodded as well before saying, "So as it stands right now, Fox Kids Action still has the lead thanks to Kimberly The Pink Ranger, therefore the score is now 5-3!"
Once the score was displayed for all to see, the camera turned it right over to the studio yet again to see Vic standing on top of a targeted red dot while the two small mice, which were basically Pinky and The Brain, continued to work on a laser ray of some sort. Kenny looked quite confused on what the laser ray was all about though.
"Hey Vic, is this the experiment that Pinky and The Brain informed us here?" Kenny asked Vic.
"Indeed, Ken." Vic nodded before saying, "And just to prove to you that it's nowhere near as dangerous as you claim it is, I'll have Brain explain this to you."
"I really hope that you are right, Vic!" Kenny said, rolling his eyes.
"Kenny, I know I'm right, trust me." Vic replied, rolling his eyes as well before looking down to Brain, "Brain, what is this device we're seeing here?"
"Well Mr. Romano, I'm glad you asked." Brain nodded as he explained to both Vic and Kenny, "What we have here is the automatic Giant Ray 3000. It's a device that will make anything from human to animal grow up to around ten pinewood trees, therefore making them as giant as ever. So with that out of the way, I am here to test our latest experiment on you, Mr. Romano. Although we probably would've had Mr. Blankenship instead. Anyway, Pinky, you know what to do."
"Got it, Brain! NARF!" Pinky said to Brain with a simple salute before he pointed the ray towards Vic.
And as soon as Pinky pressed the button…
*BOOM!*
The gigantic ray gun exploded on impact, blowing the foursome of Kenny, Vic, Pinky and the Brain as a result!
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" The four screamed painfully.
When it was all said and done, the smoke finally cleared all the way resulting in the four being smoked and burned in cartoonish effect. That of course resulted in Kenny, Vic and the Brain staring down angrily at Pinky for some reason.
"Okay, I swear that wasn't supposed to happen." Pinky shook his head in defense, "Maybe I kinda selected the wrong ray gun instead."
"YOU SON OF A– I'LL KILL YOU!" Kenny screamed madly as he attempted to lunge after Pinky.
However, Vic managed to stop him in his tracks and hold him back while screaming in a pure panic, "WHOA, KENNY KENNY KENNY, DON'T KILL HIM!"
Before Kenny could handle beating up Pinky all to himself though, The Brain stopped right in front of Kenny and said, "No need, Kenny, allow me to do the honors."
The Brain then turned to his idiot of a partner and blasted him across his empty head, knocking Pinky out in the process.
"You grabbed the wrong laser gun?" Brain said to a fallen Pinky.
"It's not my fault our ray guns look too much alike!" Pinky replied, all while huddling in fear. "Don't shoot the messenger."
"Pinky, I swear you make Mr. Blankenship look smarter in comparison." The Brain said, scowling at Pinky.
Kenny immediately overheard this and said with sarcastic disgust, "Oh, thank you. YOU'RE STILL DEAD THOUGH!"
The dimwitted announcer attempted to lunge after Pinky one more time, only for Vic to hold Kenny back once more for his entire dear life.
'KENNY, NO! DON'T DO IT!" Vic screamed at his partner.
And then, finally, the screen immediately cut to a screen that read "We are experiencing technical difficulties at this time. Please stay patient while we fix everything", therefore ending the segment.
Get ready to sink or float, everyone. Because when MXC comes back, we plan to do just that! Got that, rindhole?
BTW, no mice were harmed in the making of this fanfic.
Since Fox Kids Comedy is lacking behind, can they come back from this two-point setback, or will Fox Kids Action take it all the way home in the end? Stay tuned for the epic conclusion coming next chapter, everyone! Until next time, don't forget to leave out a review and some feedback since it helps me out in the long run. Peace and solitude, dudes.
