Everyone was anxious to find out which team would be the winner of the Olympic games. The people watching it at home, the people watching it at the stadium, the two teams themselves. The only ones that weren't excited were Sonic and Mario.
"I hope-a this gets over with soon" sighed the plumber. "Sonic was-a going to tell-a me how he-a found the Super Emeralds."
"Yoshi!" Yoshi said to Mario.
"Sorry-a. It's just after all the stories I told about my-a adventures, winning the Olympics doesn't seem-a that big of a deal to me-a."
"Shh!" said Daisy. "They're about to announce the winners."
The crowd went silent as the Fuwa walked on the stage.
The torch-headed Fuwa spoke "the Olympic games have finally reached it's conclusion. Both of these wonderful teams have worked their way to reach to this point. I am sorry to say that neither side will be getting the gold."
The audience gasped in shock. Not to mention of the contestants were rather ticked off.
"WHAT?!" Vector shouted. "YOU MEAN THIS WHOLE OLYMPICS WAS IN VAIN?!"
"I DEMAND ANSWERS NOW!!" Luigi screeched.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAITED TWO WEEKS FOR THIS FANFIC TO UPDATE AND THIS WHAT I GET?!" Blaze yelled.
Bowser screamed "YOU STUPID SON OF-"
"However…" Huanhuan continued, silencing the crowd of unhappy people. "Me and my family decided that the events the Olympics offered were too easy for the teams to compete in. As such, the two teams will be going head-to-head in one more course: the Dream course."
People muttered among one another.
"Dream course?" Peach spoke in confusion.
The panda Jingjing explained "it contains events from the other courses, modified for the teams' usual standards."
"They'll be more dangerous, have power-ups, and you'll be allowed to use special moves" Nini continued.
"All right!" shouted Bowser. "Now I don't have to resort to che-OUCH!"
Wario stomped on the Koopa King's foot. When people looked at, he lied "there was a bee there."
Beibei said "preparations for the course are now underway, and we will have it and the actual award ceremony tomorrow. Good luck teams, and I hope you watch us fellow audience."
An hour later nigh-time broke out in the Olympic Stadium. The place was completely deserted, save for the five Fuwa. They had looks of discontent and uncertainty.
"I can't believe we went through with this" Jingjing muttered as he paced back and forth.
Yingying heard something and notified the others "he's here."
And on cue walking out of the darkness was Master Waku. "Hmm, I never knew gazelles had such sharp hearing."
Huanhuan said the ninja "we did what you asked Waku, the teams will be participating the extra course. It wasn't cheap getting the supplies."
"Oh don't be so hotheaded about costs. This dream course will surely get high ratings and many viewers, and that's all the matters, right?"
"Stop pretending this is only about ratings and viewers!" yelled the bird-headed Nini. "We all know this year's Olympics is nothing more than a deathtrap!"
"Alright, if you insist. To be honest I would killed your players today, except they used less energy than I expected. I need them exhausted if I'm going to murder them all at once, and this dream course will surely make them vulnerable. Just act natural tomorrow and everything will be just fine."
"No it won't!" cried Beibei. "Innocent people are going to die! How can I live the rest of my life with blood on my hands?"
"Well you won't actually have blood on your hands, my friends and I will take care of everything and we promise to hide all ties between you and me. You aren't chickening out already, are you?"
"We want to" replied Yingying. "But I doubt you would allow it."
"Damn straight I won't! And don't forget YOU wanted to be the mascots for this year's Olympics. You were all living in garbage cans when I first met you and I can easily send you back if you don't do as I say. Besides, if your lucky this assassination will get your faces in history books. Goodbye."
With nothing else to say Waku walked off, leaving the regretful Fuwa to themselves.
