Chapter Five: Maximon Center Madness
Wario and Waluigi, after hours of running endlessly, finally saw a Maximon Center, located in Edeway Town, the home of many, many newbie trainers, including ''Kid'' Troy from the last chapter.
''Hey, a Maximon Center!'' said Wario.
''I already know that.'' Waluigi answered.
''Who asked you? Let's go!''
Once they entered, they saw a line full of people waiting to get their Maximon healed.
''Oh, damn it, we have to wait.'' Wario sighed.
''Well, Maximon is pretty popular, and many people have captured them, so this was bound to happen.'' explained Waluigi.
Wario facepalmed himself. ''Auughhh! At least there's a TV.'' He pointed to a flat-screen showing ''Ghost Sucking with Luigi''.
''That show sucks, just like the Poltergust 3000.'' the purple-hatted man joked.
Thirty minutes later, Wario and Waluigi moved to the top of the line, where the nurse was.
''Hello, Wario Brothers. My name is Nurse Delight, how can I help you?''
''How do you know our names!?'' demanded Waluigi.
''I just knew. Please don't rob us!'' said Nurse Delight.
''Don't worry, he won't. Anyway, We're here to heal our Maximon.'' Wario told her about their Maximon next. ''I have an Electric Maximon, and my brother has a Rock-type.''
''His name is Rocker.'' said Waluigi.
''Alright, I'll heal him. Hand me your Maxi Balls...'' Wario and Waluigi gave them to the nurse. ''...and I'll be on my way to treat them. You can sit in one of the waiting rooms.'' She walked off.
''Alright! A waiting room! I wonder what magazines they'll have?'' said Wario.
''Waiting rooms suck. They're boring.'' Waluigi said.
''It won't be boring! It'll be fun!''
''Pft, whatever. It'll still be boring anyway. You'll see.'' Waluigi started walking to one of the waiting rooms. Wario went after him.
Sitting on chairs, the Wario Bros. were watching the Late Show. Wario was reading an issue of ''Writers Monthly'' from December 1982. Waluigi was looking at a TV guide, from September 1970.
''Wow. I never knew that these rooms could have stuff this old!'' said Waluigi.
''Gimme that! I'm sick of reading this piece of crap!'' Wario tore up his magazine and lunged for the vintage TV guide. Waluigi kept it away from him.
''Nuh-uh-uh! You keep your stupid story magazine, I keep these vintage TV listings! Haha!'' Waluigi stuffed the magazine inside his overalls.
''Dang it! Why did I have to come at 8 PM?'' Wario whined.
Team Fracket HQ. The place that never sleeps. Mick Darsley, leader of this gang, only has one dream - to own all the Maximon in the world. The Mushroom World, not Earth.
''Thomas! Dana!'' Mick shouted. They walked over to him.
''You two are still up, right?''
The grunts denied it.
''Good, because I have a task for you two.'' Mick said.
''Uh, what is it?'' asked Dana.
''Go to the Maximon Center in Edeway Town. Capture there every single Maximon in the building. If you leave even one of them behind, you two will be fired. Understand?''
''Yes, sir!'' answered Thomas and Dana.
Mick smiled. ''Good! Now get out!''
It was 2 AM in the Maximon Center. Wario and Waluigi were the only people in the room. They were sleeping soundly, when they heard a loud DING!
''Ughhh... My Rocker... must be healed now.'' said Waluigi tiredly.
Wario woke up as well. ''Maybe Zapper has been healed too.''
''Zappy.''
''Whatever.''
Nurse Delight entered the waiting room to inform the Wario Bros. ''Okay, boys. Your Maximon are good as new. You may leave n-''
CRASH! A bomb had fell, and broke through the roof. Smoke came out, covering the room.
''What was that?'' the nurse shouted.
A rope was lowered. Two grunts slid down and jumped off it when they reached the end.
''Who are you two? And why are you here?'' demanded Nurse Delight.
''We work for Team Fracket, the infamous Maximon organization. My name is Thomas.'' the brown-haired grunt said.
''And my name is Dana.'' said the blue-haired woman. ''We have come here to take all your Maximon.''
''You can't do that!'' said the nurse.
Waluigi nodded and agreed. ''That's right! It's not fair to take someone's Maximon!''
Wario just watched. ''Uhh, Waluigi?''
''Yes?''
''Come here.'' The two walked out of the waiting room.
''You see, Waluigi,'' started Wario. ''My Zappy and your Rocker are already fully healed. I've got a plan.'' Wario snuck over to the area where the Maximon were being treated. Many of them were in the process of healing, while others were ready to be taken out.
''You know, I'm a robber, and an unlicensed locksmith. Since that Team Fracket is gonna steal the Maximon, I'm gonna release all of them so they can't catch them! Isn't that wunderbar?'' A beat. ''Waluigi?''
His purple-wearing brother was fast asleep. Wario stamped on his head. ''WAKE UP!'' he whispered.
''Oww... What's the plan again?'' asked Waluigi.
''Forget it. Just find our Maximon and have them help us release the Maximon being treated here.'' Wario said.
While Waluigi was searching for Zappy and Rocker, Wario dug out a Mary Sue-brand key, which he used to release a Cheep Cheep, who flopped away to freedom.
''It worked! This card really is one-size-fits-all!'' Wario thought. Just then, Waluigi came back. He handed the electric rat over to Wario. ''Here's your Zappy.''
''Zappy!'' said Zappy excitedly. The Wario Bros. then gave their Maximon Mary Sue keys, and told them to unlock all the capsules. Then, Thomas and Dana ran into the healing room, being chased by the angered nurse holding a handgun.
''NOW!'' The Warios and their pets walked to the capsules and started unlocking them. More Maximon came out.
Nurse Delight then started shooting at the grunts, causing holes in the walls to appear. One bullet ended up in Wario's back, which caused him to fall down, bleeding.
''Wario!'' His brother walked over to him. ''Are you ok? Can you still walk?''
''SHUT UP! CALL AN AMBULANCE!'' Waluigi went to the waiting room again and saw a picture phone. He dialed the Edeway Hospital. It took a long time.
Eventually...
''We're sorry for the inconvinence. Please hold.'' A familiar song started playing.
Never gonna pick you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna dodge around and,
Desert you
''NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THE RICK ROLL SONG!'' screamed Waluigi. He threw himself on the floor, and pounded it with his hands and feet, shifting his body in the process. He then triggered a secret button which lead to...
...All the Maximon being released, and a bell ringing endlessly. Nurse Delight stopped chasing the Fracket grunts, and started screaming. Thomas and Dana pulled out a sack and were able to contain some of the creatures in it.
''WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?'' shouted Nurse Delight.
''WHAT IS THAT NOISE?'' shrieked Wario.
''WHERE IS THAT PEOPLE SHY GUY?'' yelled Thomas.
''WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?'' the nurse screamed.
''WHY WAS I THINKING THIS WAY!?'' cried Wario.
''THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!'' said Dana, putting a Luma and a Waddle Dee into a sack.
''Who is screaming?'' said a bored hospital phone taker. Waluigi looked up to the screen, and said, ''Oh, uh, no one. Could you take my brother to the hospital?''
''Who is he?''
''My brother's Wario, the yellow-wearing guy.''
Nurse Delight kicked out the Wario Bros., Zappy, Rocker, Thomas and Dana into the street. ''GET OUT AND NEVER COME BACK!'' She locked the door and went to bed.
A few police cars and Wario's ambulance came. The three police officers from earlier came out of one of the cars. ''PUT YO HANDS UP!'' said the black policewoman.
The Wario Bros., Thomas and Dana raised theirs. The first male police officer said, ''You're under arrest for disturbing the peace, setting patients free, running from the police, not paying taxes, and being part of an evil organization.''
''But, but-'' Wario stuttered.
''No buts. There's 286 other charges for you and your brother too.''
''But I was shot in the back!''
''Okay. Go to the hospital.'' said the policeman.
Wario and Waluigi went into the back of the ambulance, which drove away.
''You're gonna let a convicted felon get away?'' said the other male officer.
''He's hurt. No one will care.''
''Yes, they will. We'll get sued again for letting someone go. We're almost bankrupt!'' said the policewoman.
The policeman yawned. ''Not if we don't say anything.''
''What's the boss gonna think when we tell him about our failure to catch all the Maximon in the center?'' asked Thomas to Dana.
''I don't know and I don't care.'' the female grunt said.
Next time on Wario and Waluigi's Maximon Adventure, Wario's mother appears again. What will happen then? Only time will tell...
