LIVE! From the Memorial Dinner Theater Auditorium…
It's the Miz-K Takase 100th Fan Fic Special!
The crowd applauds, as Cucumber was nowhere to be seen, in the banquet hall. He was still writing the speech of the upcoming arrival of Miz-K Takase, and he has to finish it, and quick. The announcer announced, "And now, here's your host of the Miz-K Takase 100th Special… Cucumber hired this man, as a special guest, and is considered one of his most favorite video game characters EVER – Mario!"
The host appeared, as he was wearing a tuxedo and a hat. He approached the podium, as he spoke to the audience. Beside him, there was a row of guests on the table. Miz-K was in a huge leather chair, as on his left were Koyomi Mizuhara (representing Maidens for Hire), Tenma Tsukamoto (a regular), Sterling Archer (from Archer), and Steven Cooke (from The Gang). To the host's right, was an empty chair. Next to it were Miranda Maynard (from the Miranda's Adventure series), Aya Hoshino (the "Scary GAL"), Seina Katsura (Miss "I died in 5 stories"), and Haruka (the main star of the Miyazawa & May series). He was with his mustache and hat with an M on it, as the crowd laughed a bit.
Cucumber got the CD-I Mario from "Hotel Mario"…
DUDE! I can't believe it! Is he THAT cheap?
Mario hardly talks, currently. So, my guess… dick move.
PHOOEY!
Mario smiled and said, "Nice of the Cucumber to invite us over for the roast, eh, Luigi? Meet my co-host, Luigi."
Luigi, the CD-I version, was in a tuxedo and hat, and is taller and slimmer than his brother. He said, "And YOU, are enjoying this show."
Miz-K thought, as he was confused, "That guy's a nut. How come he's known for YTP memes?"
Mario said, "If you need any instructions on how to read their speeches, check out the enclosed instruction book."
A long pause, as the crowd cheered. Mario said, "And now, we'd like to honor the great Miz-K Takase, who is the greatest fanfic writer in history. For 99 fan fics, in nearly 5 years, the man is known for his surprising moments, including Maidens for Hire, Miranda's Adventure, Miyazawa & May, and our personal favorite, Tales of the Bizarre!"
Steven C barked, "Oh, come on!"
Luigi said, "You wrote a speech?"
Mario replied, "No."
Luigi said, "Well, maybe, we can view his brightest moments, which tells all… if we persuade him."
Mario played the screen, as the crowd cheered.
The video showed a Merrie Melodies version with Miz-K's face on the circle, with the words on the bottom "What can YOU say?", while the theme plays. It then cut to the beginning, 2009, as Miz-K, in a flashback, was writing different stories. He was writing down his very first fan fic, "Mimi's Disappearance".
(Narrator): It has been a long and winding day for Miz-K Takase. In the past, he wrote Play Form stories, but did not write in the sites. The man did write for his fans, but was inspired by one of his first fan fics, "Mimi Tachikawa's Disappearance".
(Bubby, in his red shirt and shorts, was in the interview room)
(Bubby Nougat, writer 1994-2011): The man, Miz-K Takase, wrote this story down, as inspiration of a sudden picture he saw on the internet. In fact, if I wrote it like that, I'd be so sure.
(A pic of Mimi Tachikawa, frozen in stone, trapped in the digital world)
(Bubby): As you see, there were speculations, after he stated that he saw South Park Episode 200 & 201, which were later banned from television. I'm a little miffed that he did that. And while he wrote it as a way of learning of whatever happened to Mimi Tachikawa, it was exact. Sadly, it wasn't so popular, but they loved the idea. And people speculate on how the story went. All of a sudden, BAM! He had no clue what came next.
(Narrator): During times, Miz-K produced that story, and later made a couple more, only to feel bummed out, writing different Azumanga Daioh stories. However, one story he made was out of parody. That one was "GALS Up Until Then", and it starred Aya Hoshino and the Ice King, Rei Otohata.
(Aya Hoshino; GALS): It was nice to play a young girl, posing as a parody of filler anime, but I'm happy to work with Otohata-Kun. Plus, me, being a robot, was not in my blood. But I did become popular. You could say that I have the sight of being a popular GAL, in fanshipping.
(Rei Otohata): She and I were dubbed the most popular, since there were loving stories, involving me and my girlfriend. And "Up Until Then" was one of them. Of course, there was a time that Aya Hoshino wasn't always nice.
(Aya): By the time I finished Up Until Then, they gave me another spot for a future story. But they didn't say.
(Narrator): By the time PANI PONI Love Story was produced, Miz-K created another idea he had, which was the first Azumanga Daioh story, and was the first fic of 2010… It was, however, the birth of the first of many popular Miz-K series.
Humble Beginnings – 2009-2010
(Koyomi Mizuhara, CEO Maidens for Hire): Popularity was made for robot girls, especially ASFR sites. So, the story tells all, since I created Maidens for Hire, and its predecessors. The idea was to promote the great service of Maidens for Hire, which a lot of the greatest robot girls. While Tomo Takino, pairing with me, was for popularity in romance fan fics, Miz-K figured he had to idea of making a Maiden for Hire story. And the rest was history.
(Tomo Takino): To me, Maidens and Butlers for Hire were the greatest characters I ever worked with… and acted as. I played about three Tomo Robots, and I still am the same Tomo, hoping to be ICPO.
(Yomi): Tomo is special, but having me, as a sultry fembot, first, it was the best moment we've ever had. And it was that start of the shocking twists.
(Tomo, giggling): OH, YEAH! I love being a robot! In fact, I want to become a popular fembot maid, forever!
(Miranda Maynard): By the time Maidens for Hire debuted, my story, Miranda's Adventure, was just getting started, and it received mixed reactions. But luckily, the Miz-K I know doesn't act like a kid. I had the idea to stretch out the idea of making the battle scenes longer and epic. Trust me… I know. I refuse to work for uncouth children's book writers, like on Sesame Street! Bugger…
(Eri Sawachika): And by that time, School Rumble says that they wanted a piece of the fan fic pie, despite that Hanai, Tenma, and Karasuma all were the first to appear. Of course, we didn't originally appear, by choice.
(A scene of Tenma, crying for her sister, Yakumo, in A Sister's Heart in Spirit)
(Narrator): And she was right. On January 10th, 2010, Baby, the cat of Miz-K Takase, died, and led to Miz-K retiring from fanfics. However, that retirement was short-lived, as one person gave him his first positive review of Koyomi: Maiden for Hire. That day led to Miz-K's next smash hit, "A Sister's Heart in Spirit", which stars Tenma and Yakumo Tsukamoto. And it was the beginning of the era of Miz-K…
(Various scenes of different stories are shown, from the Maiden Universe series, to the recent classics)
(Narrator): By spring, more new stories rolled along, including the appearances and numerous classics. Hits were made, including "A Clockwork Romance", "Azumanga Rumble", "The Friendly Girl from Florida", and the fan fic that became his cornerstone, "Makie's Revenge". It became known as Miz-K Takase's shining moment, since his first Negima fic was classic hit.
(Makie Sakaki): He felt bad for me being a failure at being Makie, so he figured to use term – Payback is a virtue.
(Ayaka Yukihiro): NO! It's Payback is a bitch! Makie, once again, fails at being Makie.
(Makie, quietly): Whore. I ain't afraid of Ayaka.
(Ayaka, to Makie): Says you, failure skank!
(Makie, to Ayaka, angrily): Up yours!
(Makie, to interviewer): Sorry. I don't know why she's mad at me. But it's true. I'm better than her, and am no longer intimidated by that blonde rat.
(Still shot of Makie, crushed, after shooting the final scene of Makie's Revenge)
(Makie, narrating): But sadly, after I played the loss to Ayaka, in the final chapter, I was perma-shocked, for at least, 7 months. My body wasn't for fun… you know.
(Asuna Kagurazaka): We're lucky that we didn't use props for this one. Satomi and Chao did use microchips, which made them robots. I like the idea, but Satomi didn't have to make ME involved!
(Ayaka): So, after the whole Makie thing, we decided to move on and focus on the popular fan-base of Negima. So, after we did "The Story of Setsuna", one year later, we officially launched Negima Day!
Mario continued, "2010 was the beginning of Miz-K, as he was struggling for hits. He has been, and made many popular stories."
Luigi said, "And when 2011 came along, this was the beginning of something big. Get the hint?"
Mario said, as he stepped down, "Here to tell more about this wondrous story of 2010, here is one of our guest speakers, Miss Koyomi Mizuhara!"
Yomi appeared, as two Maidens for Hire appeared, in gold and silver uniforms, escorting Miz-K to his throne. He sat on the leather chair, as the maidens giggled, "Welcome, your highness…"
Miz-K gasped, "Highness?"
Yomi said, "Miz-K, since I'm speaker number 1, I am giving you the Maiden Treatment. You see, while we give guaranteed service, we tend to make you feel like you're at home. For tonight, your services here are FREE."
Miz-K smiled, "Gee, thanks."
Yomi explained, "You know, when I started out, this guy was a figurative speaker, speaking out his dimmed out mind. This, however, spawned the career choice I made. And in the process, Maidens for Hire has become a popular franchise, like McDonalds, Burger King, and even K-Mart. But the series has made numerous legends in the past, including out trademark Eri Maiden 2.0. she wished to come, bbut we have not heard of her, since our tenth Maiden story."
Eri whispered, "I miss her… Whiskers would've been happy."
Yomi continued, "And while we have improved on our work, some of our satisfied customers were happy with their Maidens and Butlers. One of them was Haruhi Suzumiya, who owns a brand-new Mikuru Maiden, with her Pleasure Mode enabled… there's also Sakaki and Kaorin, with Sakaki's Maiden and Butler combo, who resembles Kaorin and Mr. Kimura…"
Mr. Kimura, in his suit, jumped up and cried, "ROBOT BUTLER! Why can't the Maidens wear bloomers with the PE shirts tucked in?"
The audience laughed, as Yomi said, "Uh… Yeah… Luckily, we are a bit raunchy, but we never discriminate. The girls in After School Tea Time wanted to try it out, but Miz-K, during Season 6 shooting, well… he can't make robot girls of After School Tea Time. That, my friends, would be cheating. I mean, you cannot be a robot singer. You have to work, in the heart. And that's why I started Maidens for Hire, in the first place… it's about the heart of your project, since they act like brothers and sisters… and I am their mother."
Eri asked, "Does that make me their aunt?"
Kandy bellowed, "You won't see me in a Maiden for Hire story."
Yomi replied, "And while my Maiden Stories are popular, I have many orders for new models, including newer characters. I'm a little appalled by one of my stories, being sexy and provocative. I don't think Maidens for Hire would allow that, since they are neat, sweet, and petite."
Tomo snapped her fingers, a la Addams Family. Yomi chuckled, "Anyway… Miz-K, since he brought on the idea, wanted to make more of the Azumanga series, but it seems that School Rumble wanted in on the Maiden for Hire pie. And by pie, I mean blueberry pie."
The audience laughed, as RED Heavy chortled, "OH, that slaps me on the knee."
RED Scout added, "Oh, ho, man!"
Yomi said, "Well, not to brag, but by the time School Rumble had its spin-off and the conclusion of Azumanga's story, we wanted to spice it up, by adding nudity to our stories. Sadly, that didn't last. I had bad letters from my sponsors, and they said that it's too much. Besides, they already know what is behind a woman's body, deep in silky synthetic lifelike skin."
Archer moaned, "Goddamn cyborgs…"
Yomi added, "Besides, one letter said that… well, here… AHEM! Dear Miss Mizuhara, Please cease and desist on the bare boobs on the Maiden Universe stories, since it's rather odd, seeing that they resemble a natural woman's body. This, however, was signed by Tomo."
The crowd laughed, as Yomi growled, "You know, I swear, I'd fire Tomo for the series, but she's useful. We did shooting, after Butler for Hire, for Tomo and Kagura's romance, as a Sleeper Maiden and a Retired Maiden, but it was too good… plus, it was against another reader's request. So, we did timeless reshooting, and from there, it was finally finished. Sadly, Miz-K didn't greenlit the story, so, it's considered a lost fan fic. But after that, it was fun to work on many spin-offs. Also, if you ever need a child, come see me. We're working the Children for Care model, as we're offering test runs. And also, we'll be presenting brand-new Maiden stories for different animes and such, but not yet. We will, of course."
The Maidens continued to tend to Miz-K, as Aya Hasebe, his wife, growled, "Those harlots…"
Yomi concluded, "In short, 100 fan fics is great, since I was held responsible for Tomo Maiden, Sakaki the crazed Maiden, Yakumo the perky one, Eri the shy one, Tohru the evil Maiden, and even a Karasuma Butler. Sadly, I made a Nagato Maiden for Hire, and I just couldn't make her smile."
She huffed, "And why not… Someone created her, and beat me to it."
She finished, "In short, Maidens for Hire is here for your guaranteed service, and you will see more of us, real soon. Promise."
She bowed and went to her seat. Aya Hoshino stepped up, as Luigi introduced her, "From Super GALS, The Transfer GAL, and her role in the Yuki-Haruka-Verse, Aya Hoshino-Otohata."
Aya blushed, as she said, "I'm not married yet…"
NOTE: She marries Rei in Miyazawa and May – Season 7
Aya said, as a round of applause come to her, "Uh, thank you… Well, I'm not much for speeches, and I was a valedictorian in Hounan High, but being a part of Miz-K Takase's stories, since I appeared in a few, was the best. I'll never forget my moments, as somewhat of a yandere… Yes, a lot of you people think I have that stone cold stare… Well, Miz-K first saw it, and his heart stopped. Luckily, it went back on, after the scene ended. I had like some sort of medusa-like glare. Here. Take a look. I asked him to show it, and look."
Aya's face, with her glare (from Episode 5), was shown on the screen. The RED and BLU Scouts and Spies shrieked in bloody terror. They hid, as Aya barked, "Come on, fellas! It's not that scary! You should've seen my face, when I cry, a lot."
The fans laughed, as the face faded. Aya moaned, "That led me to becoming a pseudo version of a demonic hell GAL. I'm way before the Luigi Death Stare (from Mario Kart 8). What do we call it? The Aya Hoshino Ice Glare? Seriously, I had yandere roles. I killed Ran Kotobuki, twice, in two stories. I, uh, acted like a cyborg, a witch, and a puppy dog."
She giggled, as she barked like a puppy, "Arf~!"
The crowd laughed, as Aya continued, "Yeah, ha, ha, ha, ha. And, uh… I did have some moments with Rei, even through love and hardships… and while Rei and I never had an intimate moment, which I don't think so, we have been easily infatuated. The guy's gonna be my husband, soon enough."
They applauded, as Otohata, in his table, grumbled, "That idiot."
Aya said, "When Miz-K founded me, before he did this weird parody of a School Rumble bit, he considered me a perfect girl, not just for my beauty and brains, mostly brains, but my hair is wavy and long, like I'm a pin-up girl. Of course, during shootings, I had to make my hairstyle a bit more mature. So, I had to cut it up, and up to medium-length. I sure do miss long hair, but it's for the best. Rei loved my hairstyle. And real soon, in my next fan fic appearance, I'm going to show it off. You know, like start anew, as a new Aya Hoshino. Not some sort of robot GAL, spooky witch GAL, sorceress GAL, or some sort of ghost GAL. I meant that there is a NEW type of Aya Hoshino… the sassy kind. But I don't. Luckily, after we did Tales of the Bizarre's second GALS fic, the guys at Team Fortress 2 was kind enough to ask me and Kotobuki to do a crossover with the Mercs of TF2. I chose the Spy, since he has a way with ladies. But I guess that's fair. He's somewhat a man of mystery, since he's masked. Must be ugly."
The crowd laughed, as the BLU Spy growled, "Oh, please."
Aya said, "Well, anyway, we finished shooting, and it should be ready, by 2015, along with two other stories. And I was fond of the upcoming Mecha Sister story. My props go out to, uh, Miss Rinrin, for giving me the idea of becoming a robot. Uh, well, not to spoil, but-."
Aya blushed, as she was shaken, "Well… I'm an android…"
The crowd gasped, as Aya giggled, "Just kidding~!"
They laughed, as Aya said, "Yeah, gotcha. Anyway, we're doing a special crossover for the TF2 game, and Miss Konata Izumi, a girl I worked with in the Miyazawa & May series, she is a fan of Team Fortress 2. So, we should have the film ready, by then. Of course, the people, aside from Miz-K and Otohata-kun, I'd like to thank… are Tenma Tsukamoto, who told me, during the beginning, to let it out and become a brave girl, Ran Kotobuki, my dear friend, who said that I cannot become a mole, anymore, Saki Hanajima, who praises my work, and taught me how to be more dark and sinister, than emo, uh, Kenji Harima, Eri Sawachika, Percival Gaynes, Tohru Honda, and all those I worked with, and also, my good friend, during the 2012 days… my good friend, Miss Hikari…"
Dawn stood up and took a bow, as the audience applauded to her. Dawn sat down, as Aya smiled, "You know, with the way things are going with the Mecha Trifecta, I could be in line for a Hoshino Trainer Model."
They laughed, as she ended, "But minus the Luigi Death Stare…"
Luigi glared, as he was mortified. He calmed down and smiled, "Uh, okay."
Aya finished her speech, "Enclosing, I'd like to say… 100 fanfics is a dream… and I hope Miz-K won't retire, after another 100. Because… I l-."
She shouted, "I LOVE YOU, OTOHATA-KUN~!"
She ran off, as she was blushing. The crowd applauded, as Aya was backstage, completely embarrassed. She sobbed, "I done it now… I ruined my speech. I hate myself… Why did I forget? I'm such a loser!"
She wept and cried, as Rei Otohata appeared, patting her back. He said, "You did right, Aya…"
Aya asked, "Rei? Why are you backstage?"
Rei smiled, "Oh, you don't need to know. You're wonderful, in that dress…"
"Thanks. Hanajima picked it out for me."
"That's nice. But next time, no morbid colors, okay?"
Aya smiled, as she wiped her tears, "Thanks. I'm sorry. I ruined my makeup, after that scene."
He whispered, "I can arrange that."
They kissed each other, as we returned to the stage. Mario said, "Nice of the Hoshino Gal to make such a showing, eh, Luigi?"
Luigi smiled, "I hope she made lotsa spaghetti~!"
Mario said to the audience, "And now, ladies and gentlemen, comes now the entertainment portion of our show, as we introduced our first musical guest. Accompanied by Miss Narue Nanase on dancing motions, here is the guy that Miz-K is considered the originator of the Text Break-up, since Fandango broke up with Summer Rae though a Tweet…"
The crowd went "Boo…"
Mario said, "Here is 6Teen's answer to the rock and roll styling of acoustics and unplugged wishes… Wyatt Williams."
The crowd applauded, as Wyatt was in his red cardigan, with his acoustic guitar in hand. He waved, as Narue Nanase, in her pink sequin blouse and white pants, appeared. Wyatt said, "Good evening, Miz-K followers. Today, we honor the great Miz-K Takase, as one of the greatest fan fic writers, today. For nearly half a decade, the man has raise eyebrows, stunned readers, and even turned heads and stomachs, with stories, featuring the love of my life, Sayuri Hida. Sayuri, take a bow, baby?"
She stood up, as everyone applauded to the glasses-wearing girl. She blushed, as Rein snickered, "Oh, Sayuri… You're so lucky, amazing, and to be in Miz-K's many stories…"
Sayuri moaned, "No, I mean… I've had embarrassing moments in the stories…"
Wyatt said, "Despite that her first appearance, Sayuri was in love with Rein Tsunomoto, she points out that she cares for Rein. Sayuri had a blast being in the 2nd Miz-K Best Student Council story that I had a word with Miz-K, earlier, and he approved of an idea for a WyattxSayuri crossover fic, which shows our love. The casting is set, however, Nikki Wong, our friend down in Nunavut, couldn't make it. But we're rooting for her. Once she's not busy, she'll appear in Season 7 of Miyazawa & May. For now, my ties are with the lovely and talented-."
Rein cheered, "Not to mention big breasted, glasses-wearing, and quiet fighting…"
Sayuri covered her mouth, as Wyatt continued, "Uh, yeah. Anyway, here's a song I wrote, just for the occasion of having Sayuri Hida as one of Miz-K Takase's regulars in the series. To the girl… the best sweetheart that is popular to boys, next to Kuon Ginga and Kanade Jinguji. Sayuri, it's for you. Miz-K, I hope you'll like it."
Narue held a tambourine up and said, "Meh, I'm his backup."
She played the tambourine, as Wyatt began to sing. Sayuri sat down and was blushing completely. Mio whispered, "And they say I'm embarrassed."
(Wyatt): I have met many girls
even before I came here
These girls are unique
It's much worse than I feared
I met a girl with such pizazz
and one girl who has fire in her blood
But out of the girls, I have met
there's just one girl I loved
My little flower
the one with the power
My little songbird
who speaks every word
And for 100 times I see her work
makes my heart shirk and twerk
the damsel of distress with the cute little dress
those cute little glasses and amazing face
My little flower
My little lily
The one I call…
Sayuri
The crowd cheered, as Sayuri was swooned by his song. Rein moaned, "Aw, he should've said breasts, instead face. That didn't make sense, rhyme, or even had funny words."
Sayuri moaned, "Shut up, Rein."
Rein pouted, "And I thought I was the one for you."
"Oh, you still are… but Wyatt tugged my strings. Besides, you and I are still lovers, in the fan fic world. In fact, later on, it'll be more than that."
"Are you asking him to marry you, be engaged, and put a ring on your finger?"
Sayuri blushed, as Rein snickered, "I rest my case."
XXXXX
After that, Tenma Tsukamoto took the podium and tells her story about how she joined Miz-K Takase.
"So, I was like, finished with the beauty for Miz-K, and it was so sudden. You see, after my bit role of Up Until Then, with Miss Hoshino reprising my role, and of course… Well, let's just say that the ending was different. In the original, after my friends were deleted… Karasuma came to me… and he told me that my socks were mismatched."
Archer said, "UH, they still are."
Tenma gasped, as she looked down. She had a black sock on her left leg, and a pink and white striped sock on her right. She cringed, as the crowd laughed, "AW, DARN IT ALL!"
She giggled, "I did it again, didn't I?"
She continued, "Anyway, proud to see that Miz-K gave me some suitable roles, including a victim to Yakumo's Attorney series, being a Maiden for Hire twice in one story, uh, the story of me, being the proverbial modern-day Snow White, a girl that was magically falling apart in the limbs, made two cameos in Miranda's Adventure, became a Gang-Wave member, became chocolate-covered, posed as a doll for Christmas, played an evil cyborg… and that's pretty much it. But my best role in the stories was…"
Some of them chanted Honey, as the Chibi Tenma Bunny cheered, holding up a carrot, "YAY! It's her favorite."
Tenma smiled, "Well, it was on my birthday, and we played Tenma Bunny. By far, my best work. I played numerous Tenma Bunny Robots… but… The hardest part was being fitted into those bunny costumes. Those fishnets and one-pieces were tricky to fit in my breasts. So, before shooting, I had to be measured. I'm not telling you my cup size. Not what I expected, but I did have fun, playing as Harima's robo-love interest. But, there are a lot of people saying that I am with Karasuma or Harima. Well, to be honest, it is not going to happen, yet. I'm currently on the market, but I can't really decide on who… To be honest, I'm fine being single, and happy… but Karasuma is recovering, and Harima hasn't called me, since he's dating Eri."
Eri murmured, "He's too busy with his comics… and I was busy with the Maidens for Hire branch."
Tenma stated, "You know, it's a funny thing. We had a LOT of School Rumble Stories, mostly featuring Eri and myself, including that atrocious Negima crossover, with Nodoka as a robot, and she was smashed to bits. Sayo Aisaka… well, she was whole, in a temporal spell… but they said that it's an act. I wish I was dead, too…but Yakumo played a ghost, so… Knock on wood! Miz-K gave me roles of the cute protagonist, but my the time Miyazawa & May came along, I was considered the antagonist, since I was hanging with Souichiro Arima, Yukino's husband, and he had a lot to say about me. The guy was a dreamboat, despite that he's married…"
Yukino blushed, as Tenma continued, "Well, you see, while I was a bad robot girl there, it was fun being a villain, for once. The best moment for me, in Miz-K and Cucumber's stories, I think it was… OH! I revisited the 165cm girl thing. Such a tall girl, and such a skillful body. Sadly, I'm still miniature."
Chibi Tenma cheered, "Anything you say, is fine by me, my look-alike~!"
Tenma responded, "But still, I've been on the story lengths, ever since the whole robot thing. And I soooo~ wanna do it again. In fact, we just greenlit a story with me, Eri, Sarah, and Yakumo, and it'll be for next year. We're good to go… because I'm Tenma-ko!"
They laughed, as Tenma concluded, "And, one last thing, before I go… lemme say that for 100 fanfics, Tenma Tsukamoto is proud of being both Miz-K Takase and his sidekick, Cucumber. And let me say that I had many things funny, including-."
She paused, as another Tenma appeared, with LED blue eyes. She was in her school uniform, as the Chibi Tenma gasped, "NO WAY!"
Tenma Robot smiled and said, "Du-ah!"
Tenma gasped, "HUH? A robot me?"
They laughed, as they applauded, while Tenma smirked, "Looks like I got me a doppelganger."
Tenma Robot explained, "You should say that I'm Miz-K's favorite regular. I'm The Tenma Tsukamoto!"
Tenma barked, "I'm the TENMA!"
"I'm Tenma~!"
"I AM!"
"No, I am. I'm the cute girl with such funny romantic failures."
"NO! I am the cute girl with such funny romantic failures!"
"Remember, honey, you said it. I didn't."
Tenma was crushed, as she spiraled into her own self-pity.
"AAAAAAAAH! SHE GOT ME!"
The robot smiled, and responded, "It never gets old."
She removed her head and exposed her real head, which has long hair, except she has brown eyes and tan hair. It was Kuon Ginga. She smiled, "She's so gullible."
They laughed, as Tenma laughed, as she sat back down, while Kuon left the stage. The crowd applauded, as RED Spy moaned, "Oh, merde…"
BLU Spy asked BLU Demonman, "Should I, maybe, turn into her?"
BLU Demoman drank from Scrumpy, as Mario stepped on the podium. He said, "And now, here's more of our panel of people, aside from Tenma. Here now is the original OC of the group, and one of Miz-K Takase's famous characters – Miranda Maynard."
Miranda stepped on the podium, as she had a few words to say. She smiled and said, "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much…"
She cleared her throat, as Emily waved to her, from the kids' table. Miranda began her speech.
"Well, what can I say about Miz-K? Well, I think he's a great bloke. Though, I am from England, I have had a lot of fun. Since I started, I was pretty young, and he made me what I am. Not to be rude, but I started out as a video game character… Okay, no! I was somewhat a premade video game character, which never surfaced… Luckily, Miz-K decided to tell my story, completely. And I said, "NO! You have to boost it from simple text to long battles! And after that, he said to me that it's that, or no dice. However, he presented it, but sadly, not popular enough. So, he took my advice and we made history. I'm proud to be a part of this historic moment. I appeared, and mentioned, were in many and few stories. And I worked with a lot of great people, whom I'd like to thank – Kenji Harima, Steven Cooke, Percival Gaynes, Kandy Potter, uh, Haruka, Michael Cole, many others to name a few. I was happy to be a part of them, and even have starred in a few. But I think 2015 will be the END of Miranda's Adventure. I announced that Miz-K will end the Miranda's Adventures series. And lemme say that I wanna go out with a bang. So, anyway, when I started, I was a young woman, working as a waitress in a café in Somerset, and yes, it was like a cosplay café, and I had this cute maid outfit, too. Miz-K, however, discovered me and asked about me. I was on my break, and was told my life story… and from there, I was women's favorite role model… in England, Scotland, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Ireland, France, Spain, and Italy. I have so many Squee boys from Hetalia that I lost count."
The crowd laughed, as America said, "Dude… that was awesome. What a joke!"
Miranda said, "Well, truthfully, I'm a popular OC in Europe."
They applauded, as Miranda bowed. She continued, "Not much a fan of Asia, but I have heard good things… I met some nice blokes in Japan, including Kenneth and Erin. Eri was simply a nice girl, since I met Erika, who was my best friend. And, well, she's expecting, real soon. I'm proud of that. Kandy, I'm happy for her love life… married to Steven Cooke, nice chap, but snobbish tones in his heart. Who else… OH! My daughter, Emily, she was helpful in The Gang's stories, including the fake commercials. And yes, Emily and June are best friends… seeing she's from England and she's from America, in British heritage. I say that is nice, since Juniper Nevins is from her father's blood."
June gasped, "Juniper?!"
Miranda smiled and said, "Well, I like people from around the world. The only people I hate are evil people. And, yes, there are people like Rydell Krauser, like Team Rocket, like Akito Sohma, like Bowser, like Dr. Eggman, like Tohru Honda… They all are antagonistic beings, and they are one special brand of people."
She cleared her throat and said, "But… in the immortal words of my idol, Wade Barrett, I'm afraid I got some bad news!"
They laughed, as Miranda confessed, "Miz-K 100 wasn't just because of me, it was for all of you. Granted, most of us will not be around for 200, including the long forgotten characters, but there are those that want to press on, after existing for one story. One person I thank mostly, aside from Jerry and Miz-K… is the person that made me what I am… the readers! You heard of the RE-Gionaires… Well, you read, you review, we reply. Our hearts are made for reading and reviewing."
She concluded, "Enclosing, I will thank the men and women that created me. I wouldn't be the Great Hero of Argos for nothing, because it's because of Maynard Blood. I'm rocking out, jolly good smashing fun, and saving the day, like always, because I do what I can, all for my home, my family, and my world! And your world, as well!"
The crowd applauded, as Miranda placed one foot on the podium and did her signature pose. She cheered, as the crowd continued to clap.
"FOR ARGOS!"
She stepped down, as Luigi cleaned the podium top with a rag. Miranda sat back down, as Mario smiled, "Ha-ha! The female Link is awesome. Too bad she's not an elf, eh, Luigi?"
Luigi said, "Looks can be deceiving when Argos is involved."
Mario stated, "And now, we break for our meal. Remember, when there's smoked salmon, they pinch back… with the lobster claw."
Meanwhile, at Cucumber's dressing room, he was busy writing the speech, as rumbling was made. He thought, "Huh? The hell is that?"
Got me. It came closer to the auditorium.
We should check it out!
We have time. They just finished Wyatt Williams and the first four speech makers. Next up is the banquet.
"Yeah, I figured pickles, plus, spaghetti pepperoncino, lasagna, curry with rice, strawberry shortcake, and some diet cola."
YOU HAVE CURRY?
Mayura's gonna get an earful… from the bill.
"Dude, relax! After the banquet is done, we'll have a huge pizza party! Of course, it'll be after Miz-K makes his speech."
He held up his notepad, as he stepped out of the arena, "Let's see… Steven Cooke is next, which is followed by The Gang's performance – their new hit single, then Sterling Archer makes a speech, Seina goes next, and Haruka… and finally After School Tea Time performs, which closes with Miz-K Takase making his speech to the RE-gionaires. And After School Tea Time will close out."
Don't forget YOUR speech…
"Yeah, yeah…"
He heard the rumbles, as it went closer. Suddenly…
BOOM!
A figure appeared from the background, in a cloud of smoke, as he was like Cucumber, except he was wearing red, and with a tomato on shirt. He was bald, with two beady brown eyes, as he brushed off his leather cargo pants. Jerry gasped, as he recognized him.
"Bubby?" He gasped, "Bubby Nougat – the man who found me, and all my brothers and friends!"
He cheered on, as he smiled, "Where have you been, buddy?"
Haven't seen him, since 1997, our time in the Nick Era.
He came here, like that?
Bubby said, "Sorry I didn't mean to ruin your time off, but I didn't want to come to your roast of Miz-K. But I need your help on something. Something is bound to go down in the auditorium, and it may endanger Miz-K's life. I came from the future, back to the present, in order to correct the past, which may result in destruction of Miz-K Takase's fan fic empire."
Cucumber listened on, but was very bored and annoyed.
How long is he going to talk?
We may want to listen up. This could be serious.
Yeah, but he just wouldn't shut up.
Bubby kept talking, as Cucumber moaned, "This is sooooo boring…"
He held up a gun and shot himself in the head.
BANG!
Cucumber fell to the ground, out cold.
"DAMN IT, JERRY!" Bubby cried, "Jesus. Did he have to do that? Besides, he's too smart to realize that he has similar powers than Wolverine and Cell, combined… and he cannot die."
STAB!
He stabbed him in the chest, with a knife, with a letter on it, as Bubby replied, walking off, "I suppose in a couple of minutes, performing his Deadpool routine, he'll get the message…"
He left the recovering body of Jerry on the ground, as Jerry was twitching.

Meanwhile, the BattleVan was fixed up, as Mizuki took the wheel. She cheered, "ALL SYSTEMS GO!"
She turned the key and the motor started to hum… for five seconds. She turned off the ignition, as Heather asked, "What happened?"
Peter viewed the gas meter. The arrow was at E, meaning the van was empty. Peter moaned, "Damn it… Now we're running later than usual!"
Mizuki said, "No worries, guys. We have a tank of Diesel gas in the garage. Heather, Peter, go get it!"
Heather gasped, "OH! NO!"
"What's the matter?"
"We used up the last gas tank for our gig in Boston, last week!"
Mizuki roared, "ARE YOU SHITTING ME?!"
She slammed the wheel, as Heather called Percival in the cell phone. At the auditorium, Percival was on the phone, as he got the message.
He was backstage with Scarlet, Farra, Asahi, and Steven, as he moaned, "I see. And you sure that you were out of gas… I see… Uh-huh… Okay… Well, I think I have a spare tank in Scarlet's room."
Scarlet barked, "YOU HAD GAS IN MY ROOM?"
Farra said, "It was Percival's room… and he had an emergency tank of gas, in case the van is out. By the way, the BattleVan is fixed."
Steven barked, "I knew we shouldn't have run away from those Red Sox fans!"
Scarlet pouted, "Sorry… I didn't realize that Fenway Park was a popular place for fans of Boston…"
Farra scoffed, "And who was it that said the Yankees sucked?"
Steven smirked, "My bad… Glad they didn't boo us off the stage. WAIT! Steven Cooke isn't a fan of either Boston or New York! North Dakota has no Pro or College teams!"
The girls said, "Not yet."
Steven N asked, "So, has my wife showed up, yet?"
Percival asked the others, on the phone, "Will you hurry it up?"
Heather whined, "But the van needs fuel!"
Percival sighed, "Fine. It's in my old room, in the closet. It's not hard to find. Anyway, STOP calling me, and get here, before the pizza party, in the end! Cucumber spared NO expense."
He hung up, as he said, "Sorry, Steven… Heather and the others are running late."
Scarlet barked, "You should've let me tell them. I'm manager, now."
Steven N replied, "She's right. She may be the boss now, but you cannot be their leader, anymore."
Steven C said, "Shows what you know. We're missing our bassist, keyboardist, and drummer! And we have a NEW hit single to debut, in Miz-K's 100th fanfic!"
He sobbed, "Steven Cooke can't do his speech, without a proper set-up! And I'm not good at anything else!"
Michelle snuffed, "Stuff and nonsense. You can play guitar, like Percival."
Percival said, "Hey, yeah… And Michelle and Farra are lefties. Plus, Michelle plays the ivories."
Asahi asked, "But what about drums? Heather is the only Gang member that can play drums! If we sort this out, we'll be missing a drummer!"
They pondered, as Scarlet drew out the plans. She stated, "So, if we go like this – Steven Cooke will be lead singer, Michelle plays the keyboard, Farra will play bass, Percival and Asahi will play guitars, and… uh… Oh. Mister Nevins, I am afraid that leaves you…"
Asahi said, "It's okay. He'll take my spot, while Mister Nevins plays guitar, with Percival."
Steven N stated, "That's a generous offer, Asahi. But I play guitar, on occasions. I'm more of the lead singer, and Michelle plays guitar. Do you play keys?"
Steven C stated, "How about this – Percival plays guitar with Steven Nevins, Steven Cooke will man the keys, Farra plays the bass, Michelle plays the horns, and Asahi will be singer! SIMPLE!"
Scarlet barked, "BUT THERE'S STILL NO DRUMMER!"
They sighed, "Ohhhhhhh…"
Steven C moaned, "I forgot…"
BONK!
Farra slammed her fist in his head, as she yelled, "IDIOT!"

"Idiot…
If you're reading this, I'm located at the area, near the auditorium, 5 miles away. It's in the Dipping Pockets Hotel, and there is something going on that may need your help."
Cucumber, with his body whole, was reading the note he got from Bubby Nougat, the man that brought Cucumber to the world of comedy. He continued reading, as he moaned, "Christ… Why does he make me go there?"
He finished reading, "P.S. – If you don't make it, you'll miss the hot girl that wants you to hold and please."
Miz-K's a pervert, is he?
COOL! Hot babe with big breasts~!
"NO! I'm not falling for that!" Cucumber barked, "Doesn't he get the hint that I'm a widower?"
Good call. Best for the former married, like Miranda Maynard, to stay single and true.
Booooooo.
He then said, "Huh? There's more. "P.S.S. – If you don't believe me, the girl is very cute and nice, and she has a giant jar of your favorite pickles with your name on it"?"
Oh, don't fall for that!
"Come on! Bubby knows my weakness – pickles! Besides, even for a hot girl, who could be a fan of mine, I'm in!"
YAY!
Oh, boy…
"Now! Dipping Pockets. Could be around… OH! That way."
He ran off, heading left.
Uh, correction. He ran off, heading right.
"What?"
You're going the wrong way. Dipping Pockets is THAT way.
"Oh, right."
He dashed off, heading to the hotel. Meanwhile, the mysterious person sneaked in the building, holding a box with an item inside. He whispered, "Good enough… I had to step out, in order to make sure that I have everything. Those brothers have the place guarded heavily… But I'll be fine, if no one spots me. And then, Miz-K Takase, vengeance will be mine…"
He cackled, as he went back inside the auditorium.

Back inside, The Gang was still in a meeting, as Mike appeared, calling to them. He asked if they are ready to perform, following Archer's speech. Steven C said that Heather hasn't shown up, yet. He figured that Peter & Mizuki are replaceable, sub-wise, but no one can replace Heather. Mike then replied that if they can't go on, After School Tea Time will perform next, following Archer's speech. Percival replied, "Sure. Heather will show up… I hope. Also, I'll take full respon-!"
Scarlet shouted, "NO! I'll take full responsibility, for the rest of The Gang's tardiness! But I promise that we'll have the band, ready… That's because… Well, what I mean is…"
She gulped and shouted, "THERE'S NO ONE TO REPLACE HEATHER, AS DRUMMER!"
Everyone was stunned, as Mike said, "Calm down. I'm sure you'll find someone… otherwise, Jerry will have to cancel you."
He thought, "Speaking of which, where is he? He's missing the party."
He walked off, as Scarlet shivered, "Desperate times call for desperate measures! Which one of you guys play drums?"
Farra sighed, "Well, lightly, I do, but that was when we redid "Back in the USSR", but I was horrible at it."
Percival said, "I only played the violin."
Steven N replied, "Sorry. Steven Nevins never plays other instruments. Drums are the keys to my hidden anger…"
Michelle added, "And I can't play drums…"
She asked her brother, "Wait, what?"
Steven C growled, as he moaned, "It's not how I play it… it's because… Well, I was in the marching band in Cass County High School, and I was auditioning for clarinet, but that put me in snare drums."
Asahi cheered, "That's it! You play drums!"
"Yeah, but that was a marching snare! I never played real drums. Steven Cooke is more of a standing musician, rather than a sitting one."
A voice asked, "Perhaps I can assist?"
The Gang turned to the figure, as they gasped, "You?!"
It was June, in her blazer and skirt. Steven N asked, "Junior! What the hell are you doing here, backstage, without your mother's or my consent?"
June said, "I can play drums. I'm Heather's daughter. I'm her blood."
Scarlet asked, "You? You can play the drums?"
June smiled, "Of course. Who do you think is the daughter of The Gang's best originator?"
Percival said, "It's worth a shot… But what do we do?"
Michelle whispered, "Not easy. June's a little one to try… and she gets her starring role, in future stories… but I don't know."
Steven C asked, "Junebug, you think you can handle it?"
June laughed, "Give me time to practice! I can take about twenty minutes to practice!"
Steven N barked, "I'm afraid it's longer than that! There's no need to rush."
Scarlet smiled, "I approve of June's participation. If she is her mother's blood, we should practice, until it's time. But we can't be fast. We'll have to stall for time."
Michelle called to Mike, "Yo, Mike! We'll go last! We found our drummer, but we'll need time!"
Mike nodded, "Right. Be ready, after Haruka's speech. She's the last one, before Miz-K goes on."
He left, as Steven C said, "I got a speech to prepare. Gang… or what we have salvaged for the moment… get to practicing! It's time for the NEW WAVE of Gang Power! LET'S GO!"
They cheered on, as June thought, "Huh? What did they mean?"
Asahi said, "Don't worry, June. We'll teach you the song we're doing."
June asked, "Song?"
She moaned, as she was upset, "Miss Sakura… Why didn't you say I would practice that song, now?"
Asahi remarked, "Trust me, kiddo. It's not about for the NOW… It's for the sound… for the fans!"
She glared at her, "And it's Sakurai!"
June smiled, "I'll do it!"

At the Dipping Pocket Hotel, moments later, Cucumber sees a woman in the lobby. He then smiled, as she was in her long blonde hair, pink blouse, and black shorts, holding a jar of pickles.
"Ohhhh…" he moaned, as he went to the lobby, "She's gorgeous… Forgive me, Becky…"
Who's Becky?
His dead wife.
Cucumber arrived at the lobby, as the girl waved to him. She held the jar up and giggled. But as he went closer…
BAM!
He was hit by the jar, as the girl snickered, "Idiot…"
XXXXX
Five minutes later, Bubby appeared, as Cucumber was waking up. He moaned, "Uh… Hot fan girl, maybe? Call me maybe?"
Bubby said, "I'm sorry I tricked you. But I need your help on some clues. You see, Miz-K is about to be offed by a certain evil villain."
Wait, what happened to the hot girl?
That was a trick! Weren't you paying attention?
"Great. I mean, come on, Bubby. Why did you make me fall for that? Was it a robot, like I cared?"
"Sorry, bro. Holographic materialization. Of course, the shot to the head was my doing."
Don't worry. We'll get a girl, someday, once HE changes his mind.
"Hey, Nougat Crunch!" Jerry barked, "NEWS FLASH – I'm not ready for marriage! I'm OFF the market! And dick-move on the hologram! So, FINE THEN! What's the problem?"
"Well, up in Room 269, which isn't an area code, I found some incriminating evidence that Dent has returned, in order to gain revenge on the Brothers Holowitz. However, there were-."
Cucumber stopped him, as he barked at Bubby Nougat, "Hold on a sec! You mean the same S-Hole (Dent), who was dating that other A-hole (Rebecca, Becky's evil cousin and Dent's lover), that killed my wife (Becky, Jerry's late wife), all for reprisal?"
He shoved him away and headed to the elevator. He huffed, "Step aside, Nougat. This one's mine."
"Damn it, Jerry! There's more to the story!"
"Chillax, dude. Welcome to the 21st century."
The elevator closed, as Bubby went up the stairs.

Back at the auditorium, the girls of After School Tea Time, dressed in their high school uniforms, black blazers and pale grey skirts, were preparing for their song. Mike called to them, "You're on, after Steven Cooke makes his speech, ladies. Just so you know."
Yui Hirasawa, in her uniform and black tights, cheered, "Okay, sir!"
She smiled, "100 fan fics, and we get to sing a song…"
Mio Akiyaka, a girl in long black hair, held up the song list, "We're doing our special song for the show… then, after that, in Miz-K's party, our set includes Fude Pen Baru Pen, My Love is a Stapler, U&I, our theme for Seasons 1 & 2, Curry Nochi Rice, and our encore, Fuwa Fuwa Time."
Yui smiled, "I cannot believe Gita and I have appeared in these fanfics, for so long."
Ritsu Tainaka huffed, "We've only appeared, since this past winter."
Yui hugged her guitar and said, "This will be awesome… All our friends, a lot of them, are watching us play! Think of the deals we'll make, by continuing our series, Light Music Squad!"
Mio shivered, as she was nervous, "Thousands?"

At 269, in the Dipping Pockets Hotel, Bubby and Cucumber examined the room. Cucumber said, "This isn't right. This place looks deserted."
Bubby looked at a picture of Miz-K, with a knife impaled on his head, stuck on the wall. He said that someone is going to kill Miz-K tonight, during the final speech, at the party. Cucumber asked, "How so?"
Bubby stated, "Well, if memory serves me, there will be a cataclysmic explosion, in the building, killing everyone, inside the building… even those you cared for."
"I KNEW IT! Is it Angelica, again? Maybe Dent and Becky have returned to gain some sort of revenge on me. I swear… and I here I thought those two losers think they can best me!"
They're dead, idiot…
"Nah. That is what they want you to think, since our last battle involved-."
Bubby yelled at him, in a loud booming rant, "THEY ARE ALREADY DEAD, JERRY!"
Cucumber moaned, as he held his ears, "JESUS, Nougat! You don't have to yell! GOD! Hey, you know, when this is over, I'll treat you to pickles."
"You like pickles?"
"Love 'em. In fact, they have a store which sells a lot of pickles… and it's the fancy company named, quality brand pickles!"
Bubby said, "Jerry, what if I told you that the way things are going, you will never eat pickles, again!"
"Whatcha talkin' 'bout, Bubs?"
"I have reason to believe that someone is responsible for the threat to destroy the banquet ceremony for Miz-K. My theory is this – someone we know decides to use a bomb, hidden in the podium, and when Miz-K prepares to speak, the bomb goes off."
At the auditorium, the figure placed the bomb box inside the podium and giggled, "When that bomb goes off, once Miz-K makes his final speech, after the trigger "What can YOU say", only through his words and voice, he will not live to see 200 fanfics. And YOU will never live to see pickles, again!"
The mystery person laughed evilly, as Cucumber said, back at the hotel, "Whoa! Voice-activated booby traps?"
SHIT JUST GOT REAL!
Indeed.
"So, what do we do, Bubby? Shall we team-up, BOOM-style, like it's 1997, all over again?" Cucumber asked.
"We? Well, no, actually, you have to do this. I'm going to go back in time and into the future, possibly for more Miz-K ideas… and cleaning up the mess you made… one that may resolve from your doing, here."
Cucumber was in a blank stare, as he asked, "What?"
Bubby Nougat sighed in anger, "Well, I suppose I should help you. I'll need a volunteer or two to help out a special device I'm working on, in order to negate the bomb, for the moment. After that, we'll find the culprit and bring him or her to justice."
Cucumber asked, "Who?"
"Well, I figured one of your brothers need assistance. Mike, Bruce, and David will be of no help, and knowing your cousin, Johnny, he'd be busy. So, my guess is that there is one alternative, having Mickey or Sammy to help out. I believe we'll walk back to the auditorium and-."
Cucumber barked, "FUCK WALKING! We're not doing Plan Defeat the Bad Guy, we're doing Plan AWESOME!"
He smiled, as Cucumber has a plan.
Minutes later, Bubby was outside, as Cucumber prepped up his all-terrain Cuke-Mobile hot rod. Bubby stated, "If you need to get to the auditorium faster, I made a few modifications to your Cuke-Mobile. It'll take you there faster than your super speed, plus it saves you the strength."
"Muchos jambalaya, Bubs," Cucumber smiled, as he stepped into his vehicle.
He was about to drive, but he realized that traffic was already caught up, and the road to the banquet has no chance of getting there, via ground vehicular travel. Bubby then stated, "Press the red button. By that, you'll press that button, as it should make your travels more useful than before."
Cucumber pressed the button, and from there, the Cuke-Mobile was floating, producing jet engines, turbines, and wings. His car was now an all-purpose jet plane.
"WHAT THE HELL, BUBBY?!" Cucumber roared.
Bubby replied, "I learned it by watching you, didn't I?"
Cucumber flew off, heading back to the auditorium, as he plans to rescue everyone from the building. However, knowing his skills, he'd rather not tell everyone that there was a bomb in the building. Besides, that would be terrible. Will he make it, in time?
"Hey, reader… Stay pinned for Part 3." Cucumber said.
WHAT? No "To be continued…" jazz?
He's not doing it, this time. Best to leave the readers guessing, until the next chapter.
Uh, I'm lost.
It's this way…
