Piccolo and Kakashi returned to their post in the white, empty warehouse building. In front of the camera, the pair were ready to film a new episode in their theory-based series.
"Hey. I'm Kakashi Hatake," the white-haired ninja with a mask introduced, waving to the camera.
"And I'm Piccolo. Today, we have a new theory for you all..." the green man continued. "This isn't based on any franchise specifically, but it's..."
Kakashi held up a white-coloured sign with the words 'Episode 2: The Megaverse' carefully written onto it, putting the sign down just as his partner began talking once more.
"...Megaverse Theory. We all know about the Multiverse Theory, where there are different universes based on a person's actions and decisions. Like, if Goku died of the viral heart disease he had during the Android Saga," Piccolo explained. He paused, allowing his ninja pal to speak.
"Or if Sasuke never defected from Konoha - the Hidden Leaf Village," Kakashi added. "I admit, I was confused when Piccolo first explained this to me, nobody I know has ever dealt with alternate realities. Well, except for Tsukuyomi, but that's a different case."
"In fact, the Megaverse is what allows Kakashi and I to be together, right here and now. So, you have your basic universe; I'll use mine as a base. Whenever a person makes any kind of decision about their day or something, an alternate universe is created where the separating consequences of that decision have taken place. Sometimes, a collection of universes will be born based on how many paths the decision can go," the Namekian stated. "While this is accepted by most people, this is where things may branch off."
Kakashi coughed, then got to talking. "You see, a collection of universes is known as a Multiverse, which should be obvious to some people. However, there are beings with the power to warp between realities and even phase through the barrier that protects different dimension. There are also some realities that have been freely linked with others, such as this universe. It's how we got Kisuke Urahara, our guest from the previous episode."
"You all know about anime/manga. You all know about video games. You all know about television and movies - these things are what is known as the Megaverse," Piccolo continued. "The Megaverse is what contains a bunch of dimensions and their alternate realities. Essentially, Megaverses are metal folder box-things that you store files in, while Multiverses are the folders and the Universes are the files themselves. For example, the God of War series would go into the Video Game Megaverse, while the Sword Art Online series would go into the Anime/Manga Megaverse. The walls closing off Megaverses from another are much stronger than that of a Multiverse's wall, but there are some instances where this has happened."
"What will our universe, the one that this show takes place in go under?" Kakashi proposed, seemingly looking like he wouldn't know. "Would we go into the Anime/Manga Megaverse, considering we're anime characters? Incorrect, because we're in an entirely different Megaverse, called the Fan Works Megaverse. You see, the Megaverses that Piccolo has mentioned before are controlled by the creators of the series themselves. With the Fan Works Megaverse - that isn't the case. Any fan can add to the Fan Works Megaverse, but this one has the strongest wall. There is absolutely no way to get a fan creation into one of the official universes. It is possible, but highly unlikely to happen."
"So you won't be seeing the likes of any original, fan-made characters, stories or situations in an official universe. You won't be seeing Luster the Cat in any Sonic the Hedgehog game," Piccolo simplified. "Also, the Fan Works Megaverse has no Multiverses, anything can crossover with anything: Transformers and Mortal Kombat, Banjo-Kazooie and Puella Magi Madoka Magica - the possibilities are endless in the Fan Works Megaverse."
"There are millions upon billions of new universes appearing in the Fan Works Megaverse, each day. Surfing on DeviantART or Fan-Fiction can yield a small fraction of these universes. The broken walls of the Fan Works Megaverse is what allows this series to exist," Kakashi ended. "We owe our partnership to the Fan Works Megaverse."
"Indeed," nodded Piccolo, acceptive of that statement.
The two men fell silent, out of words in their script to recite. With such a lengthy and informative description of a complex topic, their voices had to rest, even for a little second or two. Kakashi was the one to continue speaking.
"Anyway, that pretty much sums up Episode 2: The Megaverse. If you have any questions for us, the show, or the Megaverse Theory in general, don't hesitate to post a review with your question. Even if you think it's a bad question, we won't attack you! If we strongly disagree I may feel inclined to attack you with Chidori, but I digress," he finished, quickly biting his tongue.
Piccolo chuckled. "Now you may have scared a potential reader off...I thought you were a smooth talker, Kakashi."
"And I thought you meditate a lot," Kakashi returned, a smug on his face.
"This is a fan universe, Kakashi. I'm not gonna be exactly the same as the official Piccolo, y'know," the green one refuted.
Kakashi grunted - his partner had a point. With everything they had just discussed, he thought it'd be a good idea to end the episode right away.
"We'll be seeing you next time, readers!" the copy ninja ended, returning to the camera with a happy and exciteful face.
The camera then turned off, ending the episode on a light note.
Author Notes: This theory is one I came up with on my own, actually. Remember, don't take these theories as facts EVER. They're not 100%, they're only IDEAS that I've conjured up MYSELF.
Anyway, have a good day!
