Ravena: NYAO~! So many things to look forward to! I'm getting all excited! Nya-nya~!
Shadow: Think you're getting a little too excited Ravena. It's only another chapter.
Ravena: Another chapter that opens a new door to a new arc mon cher~!
Shadow: Well I can't argue with that. Hard to believe that it's been a whole year since this all started….
Ravena:And we are still going strong!
Shadow: Yep, with that being said I'd like to welcome everyone else to FFW's one-year anniversary~!
Ravena: Welcome! Welcome! Applause~! claps

Shadow and Ravena: ON WITH THE SHOW~!
FFW Anniversary
Whip's eyes narrowed in rage and she lashed out with her Whip Wings, hoping to strike a blow across the girl's chest. That hope faded when as soon as it came close to Ravena, the nekomata slashed the hardened blood to pieces, cutting the whip in half. As the two stood stunned, Ravena pulled her, now bloodied, nails to her mouth and licked them cleaned. Four red eyes, followed by an eager smile appeared on the girl's face as she then flexed her, blood free, sharpened claws.
"Ahahaha~! YES! This is going to be…SO~ MUCH~ FUN~!" The twisted Ravena exclaimed excitedly at the top of her voice as she then charged at her new prey with a crazed smile on her face.
"AAAAAAND CUT! That's a wrap for this episode!" announced the female director as her assistant made the snap.
Ravena quickly curled her body and hit a soft wall of padding before landing on her feet as she stood up and dusted herself off.
"Great job everyone! Take a break! Actors, I'll see you all tomorrow!" announced the director as she waved everyone off.
Suddenly, a pause button was hit as DJ Plugman appeared on screen.
"What's happenin' yo~! Long time no see! It's your favorite DJ Plugman hosting for your entertainment, Fanfiction World's 2 Year Anniversary episode special!" announced the DJ enthusiastically as confetti and balloons started falling from the ceiling as he waved a couple of flags in the air as the camera drew back to show DJ Plugman standing in the FFW NEWS corner except the desk had been removed and was now replaced with a large sofa and a couple of armchairs.
A big screen flashed 'FFW' behind the settee while the 'Celebration' song played a bit in the air as DJ Plugman jived a bit before he signaled the music to cut as he plopped down on one of the arm-chairs and waved to the camera. "Alrighty yo, people! Once again, WELCOME to FFW's very first anniversary where this show has successfully been on the air for solid 2 years~!" Plugman announced prompting some applause and fanfare before cutting them off.
"And for our special line-up, we are going to take you on special "Behind-The-Scenes" look of the FFW set, have special interviews and previews of bloopers, and little surprise at the end for all you viewers out there!" explained Plugman before turning to the screen. "And to lead off the show, we have our ace reporter Komin on the scene to take us on the tour! Komin are you ready~?!"
The screen behind flashed as Masukomi appeared with on screen with a salute. "Choo bet D-chan~!"
"Then over to you Komin~!"
(On site)
"Alrighty then, D-chan~!" Replied Masukomi with a smile as she addressed the viewers. "Heyya everyone~! It news time with me Masukomi~! And welcome to the special studio tour of FFW where we have just finished recording our latest chapter in the FFW storyline~!"
"You may be wondering why we ended the last chapter the way we did or why we're having this little tour? Well just like D-Chan said, this is everyone at the studio's way of thanking all of you for sticking with us these long two years~. It's our little gift from us to you!" Masukomi then directed the camera to follow her throughout the set that had scenes of the battlefield from the last chapter. "As you can see, I am here live on set. This is part of the stage used as the battlefield for the last few chapters. A place where a lot of our action sequences took place. As of now I am looking for someone to give us a run-through on how we show off those amazing fight scenes."
"Yo, Komi, I didn't think you'd still be here on set!"
As if planned, Bella came up to Masukomi. However; the brownish-blonde did look at the camera crew with confusion.
"What's going on, you filming a documentary here or something?" Bella asked.
"Not this year, but…I believe you can help us with a little something Bella." Masukomi grinned.
"Sure, shoot~!"
"You remember what day it is today, don't you?"
The girl put a hand to her chin as she ponders the question. A second later she snapped her fingers and looked excitedly to the reporter. "I can't believe I almost forgot! Today is the day right, unreal!"
"Very real, we've been filming FFW for two years. How does it feel to be part of the project for so long Bella?" Masukomi asked with honest interest. After all, the actress has appeared in the studio since day one.
"How does it feel, I can't even describe it! Working here is one of the best things ever, the show is cool, and the cast are fun to hang out with. Heck, you went out with us to celebrate Illu's birthday with the girls." Bella then ended her rant as she remembered they were on camera. "Anyway, it's like be a part of a big happy, crazy, family."
"Funny you would choose those words, Ms. Toon World Chosen One, Arabella Hyna." Masukomi said with a smirk.
"Hey, you know I'm a lot mellower than I am on set." Bella then winked to the cameras. "However, don't be fooled fair viewers. You have been seeing 100%, Hyna quality, antics. When I get my script and hit the stage, I know I got to give my all for you guys!"
Nodding her head, Masukomi then got Bella's attention again. "Anyway Bella. The reason I wanted your help is the fans need someone to tell them how the CGI and other effects work. And who better than the girl has assumes so many transformations, not to mention your toon powers."
"Awesome right, the studio came to all of us with an idea of what we want our powers to be. I was stoked that mine made it in." Bella then sobered up and cleared her throat as she began to speak in a calmer tone. "However; the studio does do a lot to make those effects appear so lifelike. I dare say, we've got some of the best editing team in the business. I should know, I work with them almost as much as I act on stage."
"Like I said, a character like Bella would definitely know about the effects." Masukomi said. "So tell our faithful viewers how the magic is done."
"Well my dear Komi, the process is done in three steps. The first step is the directors and editors run the scene by us. They tell us what is going to happen and what to expect once the editing is done. It helps to make the act more believable. Say in a scene I have to turn into HeatBlast and shoot a fireball. Well I would…" For emphasis she had her hand on her wrist where her prop Omnitrix lied. "Slam my hand down, and stand for a few seconds." Following her own, instructions she then thrusts her hand forward. "Then I go through the motions."
"Ah~, and what is the next step?"
"Step two, is the editing. After doing as many takes to get the scene right, out dutiful team of animation and effects Wizzes get to work on how it would look like and match it to our moves. They decide how big is the fireball? What size? What colors? How long the flames linger on my hand?" Bella explained.
"The technical stuff basically." Masukomi clarified.
"Exactly! That step is really dedicated to making everything look as realistic as possible for the show. Take a month ago when had the little rascals here on stage, it took few takes and retakes to get Sora's computers and everything just right. Good thing those tykes kept at it!" Bella smiled with pride.
"I remember you were definitely excited, both on and off set, that Kotsubasa was joining." Masukomi recalled.
"Heck ya, how can I say no to the little Mini-ME's being on the show? I heard a rumor that they may try the same thing for Team Mercenaries." On cue, Bella then turned to the cameras. "But that's all I said folks, it's a rumor. Who knows what the guys upstairs are planning."
"True, true" Masukomi agreed with her. "Now, on to the last step, I think that step is where they piece together everything, right?"
"Well look who learned a lot since joining. You are absolutely right; the last step is where the magic is. They take the footage and the effects and bring it to the screens, after all the fine-tuning of course." Bella finished her explanation.
"There you have it everyone, straight from the horse's mouth. A crash lesson on how we use our amazing powers on screen for all of you, if you haven't guessed our budget has increased since the beginning, which is why the last chapter looked as great as it did." Masukomi then turned from the cameras to Bella. "Say Bella, think you can make it over to where D-Chan? We do have more planned out if you don't mind?"
The "Toon-Girl" gave her a mock salute. "No worries Komi, I'll be sure to stop by. Can't wait to see you at the party!" And with that Bella took her leave, though not before a final wave to Masukomi and the people on the other side of the cameras.
After the goodbye, Masukomi turned to the camera. "There's a reason she's one of the popular characters, isn't she a peach? However, I'm going to turn the cameras back to you now D-Chan!" She then gave a wave. "Enjoy~."
After a quick transition, the viewers were now back in the host room with the famous DJ who was waving back before looking at the audience. "Don't think we didn't have anything else planned. Komi here will be on her way to the next attraction, but here in the room with me and two very familiar faces who wanted to stop by. Give it up for Key and DB!"
The cameras then turned slightly to show DB sitting on the long couch while Key was in the other armchair. Both actors stood to take a bow as they heard the applause and then sat back down, looking from the cameras to Plugman.
"She's right you know. I don't think anyone else has been in that effects room longer than Bella has. I think she knows all the guys there by name now." DB smiled a bit, trying not to laugh at his own joke.
"That's how Bella is. One of the best friends and people to work with that's for sure." Key also smiled. "So Plugman, I see you and Komi are hosting this thing."
"Right, I was surprised that they called me down since I haven't been in a few chapters. They actually told me that after talking to me about my next appearance." Plugman recalled.
"You'll be in another Guild War scene, that's great. You should see the tweets, lots of people were missing your commentaries." DB said.
"Don't I know it; this job almost reminds me of my work with Oh Great! and Air Gear. However, that time is over and I am here now! But you guys aren't here about my backstory; you are here to talk about the 2-year-Anniversary!" Plugman said with obvious excitement. "We are covering behind the scenes, but I got the idea of why not ask some of the casts questions about their roles and characters in the show."
"Then ask away my man." DB said as he reached for one of the bottled waters placed for each of them.
"Anything for the fans." Key agreed.
Plugman nodded and then went about with the first question. "Well, the first thing that I'm sure you two were both asked was why did you two only appear in voice on the first chapter? You guys did make your appearances in the next one and got to show your moves, but usually all the hero group is shown first episode."
"That is a good question, see remember the lines that I had to go on a camping trip in the first chapter. That's based on the real reason I wasn't on set, I actually had to head out to a family reunion." DB explained.
Key then chimed in. "My sister ended up with the flu and I got it as well. The day they scheduled for the first day I wasn't even able to speak, much less get out of bed to show up for filming. That's when the director came to us with a loop hole idea."
"Loop hole idea?" Plugman asked, question marks appearing all over his screen.
"Yep, see we all would record our lines in advance first before we start acting on set. So when Key and I had our reasons for being gone, they had to work with our recordings. Though I say the episode turned out great." DB said with Key agreeing with him.
"The studio sent me a copy of the first episode and everything to watch. Just gave me the motivation to recuperate faster. And then, there you have it, I'm up and about acting out the fight scene for the second episode." Key went on and explained.
"Well that's one of the many mysteries lifted! Now the next things coming up are for both of your characters, the first is for DB. Do you think you're subconsciously promoting drinking, since your character is sixteen and drinking on screen." Plugman asked.
"Not at all, the audience has to remember that FFW is set in a game world. So, of course there are games out that have warnings of things like that. It's one of the reasons FFW has the high rating it has, but everything that I physically drink is fake." DB clarified.
"How fake?"
"As fake as a kid drinking Butter Beer."
"Oh~, that fake." Plugman said, aware of the Harry Potter product. "So you've never actually drunk anything alcoholic?"
"Nope, all flavored water or juices." DB said.
"Right" Plugman then tossed the envelope away to pull out a new one. "This next one is for Key."
"Ask away."
Plugman then cleared his throat, having skimmed through. "How did the triangle come about? You know the whole Key/Rina/TPB that's been appearing for a few recent chapters? Any idea where it sprang from?"
"To be honest, I don't know." Key said with shrugged shoulders. "I think the directors were trying to wind up for a scandal, but really all it is now is comedy relief on all three of the characters. It was sprung up at the last second, but the people loved how funny the fights got so they left it in."
"Got to feel sorry for this guy sometimes." DB joked a bit.
"None of us can be as lucky as you are Romeo." Key joked back.
"Oi!"
"It's true; you're in the first and official pairing in the show. Not, to mention you two have been dating before people have even came up with that pairing." Key continued.
"It was one of those things put in too, but I guess people liked the whole opposite attracts thing." DB paused as he felt someone place a hand on his shoulder, causing him to jump slightly.
"Well the saying is opposites attract, but it's more than just fire and ice they mean dear."
"Whoa, Naenia, don't sneak up on me like that."
Naenia only gave DB a playful smile as she enjoyed her seat next to him on the long couch. "I wasn't really sneaking; you were just too deep in thought."
"And here you are; the power couple DB and Naenia!" Plugman introduced the woman who waved back to the cameras. "As Key has said, these two are actually dating. It's one of the things that made their romance all the more natural on screen."
"Of course, DB does sometimes have that grin on his face after a kissing session."
"Naenia!"
"Now now lovebirds, save it for the party tonight." Plugman said, bringing in order. "It seems that a few things in the show have been done with split second decisions."
"You'd be surprised how many times a coin is flipped to determine what's added or what's cut. They have set plans, but then new ideas spring up out of nowhere. Some good and some bad, though the chapters are still going strong because of them." Key answered.
"Even the smallest decisions are considered and each has their own results. However; you'll never have more creative writing team than ours." Naenia complimented them.
"Here here!" A call came out all around until when Plugman suddenly clapped his hands. "Alrighty yo, folks! Since we're on the subject, let's turn this over to Masukomi to reveal more of the magic in the show!" announced Plugman as directed everyone's attention to the screen behind them.
"YAY~ I was waiting for this part~!" piped up Masukomi popping up from behind Plugman's chair.
"UWAH!" yelped everyone in shock as Masukomi plopped down in the seat next to Plugman cheerfully.
"Eh?! Masukomi?!" exclaimed DB in confusion when the screen illuminated behind to show Masukomi smiling.
"You called~?"
"EH?!" exclaimed the trio in shock.
"Hi~ Everyone~! It's Masukomi again~"
"And Masukomi is here too~!" chirped the Masukomi in the studio.
Plugman coughed to gain everyone's attention. "Here to start of our behind-the-scenes reveal is our very own Masukomi herself~. I'm sure everyone has been wondering how do we get so many Masukomi on the show~"
"That's all just CGI right and stunt doubles right?" asked Key leaning back in his seat and folding his arms.
"Well, you are both right and wrong my dear boy~" exclaimed on screen Masukomi cheerfully as the camera pulled back to reveal about 15 Masukomi, all who look exactly identical save for the different colored microphones they each held.
"Allow me to introduce them all~!" offered the in studio Masukomi. "First of there's me~ the original Masukomi~ my real nameis Masukomi Mami~!" said Masukomi pointing to herself with a smile as four other Masukomi appeared on screen. "These four are my younger sisters, Sumi, Umi, Komi and Mimi~ The five of us are quintuplets~"
"Hi~!" chorused the four other girls on screen.
"And now my cousins~" began Masukomi as she took a deep breath. "Mako, Miko, Ako, Suko, Kiko, Uko, Masuko, Mamiko, Umiko, Sukomi, AAAAAND….. Komami~!"
"We are the Masukomi Family~!" chorused all 15 girls on screen.
"We all just happen to look exactly alike," explained Mami nonchalantly.
"Doesn't that cause some confusion in the family though?" asked Naenia curiously.
"Whatever do you mean?" replied Mami tilting her head.
"Never mind…"
"In that case~ Scatter girls~! Divide and conquer~!" commanded Mami as the other girls on screen saluted and scattered. With the order given, Mami then relaxed in her seat oblivious to the looks around the room.
"Well…that was a thing." Said DB before Naenia playfully elbowed him for the joke.
"Then…let us be on with our broadcast." Plugman then saw that only one of the Masukomi girls were now on the screen. "Where did the other 14 girls go?"
"Oh they each have their stations and jobs for this show, but for now you've got me." The lookalike said with a wink.
"Fantastic~, well Sumi…"
"I'm Mimi!" Mimi said playfully.
"Right honest mistake, but now is the time our audience get a treat! Don't any of you change that dial! So what do you have planned to show us now?" Plugman asked curiously, as they all waiting for the Masukomi sibling to reply.
"Do I have something planned for all of you out there! You saw how our glorious effects are made, but there is one thing our effects can't change. How people act…and how animals act! Which is why I'm bringing in one of the animal trainers that agreed to do the show with us how it's done!" After a drumroll, Mimi then turned the camera to show Illu waving softly while she had Mukurowl on her shoulder and Nyoka in a cage she was holding.
"Thank you for having me on the air Komi." Said the newly revealed actress and trainer; Illu took a small bow as she walked over so that they both were in frame.
"Bet you never seen that coming viewers~. Our very own Illu, not just is she a talented actress but she is also one of the lead animal trainers on the show. Makes sense when you consider how many of them Illu is seen with on set." Mimi explained. "It's Mimi…."
"Mukurowl is actually my pet. The Director and Writers loved how part of my character idea and Mukurowl are based off a similar one, not to mention not many shows work with owls." Illu then held up her cage with care. "Nyoka was a recent adoption that I got from a friend who couldn't keep her. She was brought in to expand on the Yamata no Orochi scroll that was shown off the first season."
"Are their voice actors still here?" Mimi asked.
"No, though they will be at the party tonight. You've just missed them." Answered Illu.
"Drats" Mimi snapped her fingers. "Well I guess we'll just say it here. The chapters where you hear these two, and also Punnya and Amaya lines are voiced by other voice-actors. We've also got actors that play their human forms. Speaking of missing, where are Punnya, Amaya, and Mazareth?" Wondered the sibling reporter aloud.
"Mazareth is in the other room, in fact why don't you follow me. He's with our other trainer right now." Illu explained as she offered to lead the way.
"Other trainer?"
"I tend to specialize with smaller animals; the other trainers have better experience with larger animal actors than myself, but I'm sure she's still in to talk to you." Illu then lead Mimi and the cameras towards the other trainer.
All of a sudden there was a loud roar that made Mimi jump and flinch when she suddenly heard playful laughter making her blink a few times and look. Rose was laughing happily on the floor with Mazareth on top of her crooning loudly as the black tiger rubbed its head all over the girl's face like the overgrown cat it was.
"Alright~ Alright~ Come on get off of me you plus-sized kitten~!" half scolded Rose cheerfully as the big tiger obeyed.
"Mazareth is always so playful with you Rose-chan~" commented Illu.
"Well, I did raise him since he was a cub~" chuckled Rose as she stood up when she suddenly noticed Mimi and the camera crew. "Oh, Hi Kiko."
"It's Mimi…" muttered the reporter under her breath before resuming her smile.
"Anyway, you all know Rose, best known for her role as the Tsundere Bounty Huntress with a flaming temper~" introduced Illu cheerfully as Rose curtsied a bit while Mazareth crooned and nuzzled against Illu who stroked the tiger's head. "And her loyal partner, Mazareth of course~"
"Yup, and I also double up as the trainer for big beasts like Mazareth and Punnya's "Demon" form," added Rose as she undid her hair from the ponytail she had it in. "Would our viewers like to see a demonstration?"
"I'm sure I speak for them when I say, YES~!" said Mimi excitedly.
"Alrighty then~!" exclaimed Rose as she walked away with Mazareth to a training ring with several elevated platforms and obstacles such as hoops and swings. The girl nodded to the tiger as Mazareth scooped the girl on to his back and began jumping from platform to platform.
"So how does this work exactly?" asked Mimi as she watched in awe while Mazareth took a giant leap across two platforms as Rose leapt from the tiger's back onto a trapeze swing.
Rose then did a giant swing and flipped from the bar when Mazareth jumped again and caught her as she landed on his back.
"Well many things go into the animal training for many of the stunts but it mainly takes Patience, Respect, Kindness and most importantly…Trust…" explained Illu as Mazareth landed on the ground with Rose. Rose then went up to a cooler box and pulled out a steak as she tossed it to the tiger who caught it and ate it greedily.
"Of course it also helps when you have some rewards ready," added Illu with a small giggle.
"But how do the animals learn how and when to move?" asked Mimi curiously.
"Well, when during filming of the animal scenes, we make use of a lot of visual cues," explained Rose walking up to them. "Depending on the scene, usually either Illu, I or another assistant trainer is off-screen directing the animal movements."
"But most of the time, Rose and I make use of eye-contact and subtle visual cues to signal to the animals, although techniques will vary depending on the animal" Illu added as she held out her arm for Nyoka as the snake coiled around her wrist. "Take Nyoka for example, if I want her to move a certain way, the key is to maintain good eye-contact," said the girl as she began shifting her eyes in a certain pattern.
Mimi watched in amazement as Nyoka began bobbing her head in sync to Illu's eye-movements. "Is she actually controlling the snake with her eyes?!" she whispered to Rose.
"That's why she's the lead trainer, baby~!"
Illu quickly broke eye-contact with Nyoka as she turned back to the others. "Even Muku-chan has his own set of commands, such as-" the girl suddenly cut herself off as she pursed her lips and blew a shrill whistle. On cue, Mukurowl flew around the studio with a loud screech and came back to his perch on Illu's shoulder as he fluffed himself up proudly.
"Ooooo~…." Went Mimi clapping excitedly. "What are your favorite tricks?"
"This one," said Illu cheerfully as she clicked her fingers. Immediately, as soon as Mukurowl heard the click, his feathers fluffed out turning him into a little white fluffball earning some cheerful chuckles.
"And this one's my favorite~!" piped up Rose as she turned around to Mazareth. "Mazareth!" she called suddenly placing on hand above the other and curling her fingers inward as she mouthed the word 'Snarl'.
On cue, Mazareth began baring his teeth and snarling fiercely as if ready to attack.
"Good boy, Mazy~!" praised Rose as she tossed another steak from the mini-cooler in her hand to the tiger who immediately stopped and grabbed the meat hungrily.
"Well you all seemed to have bonded well with each other over these years." Mimi said happily before a thought occurred to her. "Though what about Punnya and Amaya, where are they and who trains them?"
"I help with their training but mostly Punnya-chan and Amaya-chan are helped by manju specialists. It also helps that Ravena-chan and Shadow-kun are always with them when they are in each of their scenes." Illu explained. "They're much more comfortable when their owners are present."
"I would believe so, since it must be hard to get two baby manju like Amaya and Minnya to get comfortable on camera. You two have your works cut out for you!" Mimi congratulated them.
"It's not that hard a job, Mazy here is a just like a soft little kitty when you let him be." Rose petted the tiger, causing Mazareth to let out satisfied purrs. "You should see the other jobs that the other guys do."
"That's what we hope to see." Mimi then winked to her cameras as she reminds them of the show. "I hope to catch you two at the party later!" She added excitingly.
"Wouldn't miss it Mimi-chan." Illu replied with Rose nodding next to her.
"Then I guess it's time to give to spotlight back to you D-chan, what do you have for our viewers this time~?" Mimi smiled back, her face appearing on the screen in Plugman's host room.
"Well all right, all right! I wouldn't have something as exciting as the performance you three pulled on, but while during the time you were entertaining our audience I've brought upon a few new faces for the crowd!" Plugman said showing off the newest guest in their seats. "Let's have the people give a hand for Grim, Cast, and RoM!"
The applause was then given to the three new faces in the room. Grim and RoM were sitting on the opposite sides of the couch while Cast had the single chair to herself. The three gave their waves to the audience before turning back to the host.
"Thanks for having us here Plugman, though I should say I'm sorry that Leon couldn't make it to speak." Cast apologized.
"Don't worry your sweet head about it; we can't help if a few of us are camera shy. Plus he was needed to make deliveries for the party so it's no big deal he had to skip out." The DJ waved it off.
"Speaking of which, I'm glad that you called me in just in time. They almost got me in for the heavy lifting until you called me up. By now I'm sure Leon, Speed, and Wolf would be enough to help the rest of them set things up." Grim said while slouching back.
"And the legendary laziness has shown to be true." RoM bantered.
"Yep, they gave my role a more lax and lazy twist since they said I had a perfect tired face. Just as a certain someone had the perfect evil manipulator face."
"Yep" RoM adjusted his glasses while giving a satisfied look.
"Which goes into our first question for you three? How do you feel about your updated role in the story RoM? You first started off as an info-broker and a Beta, almost played as Key's rival." Plugman summarized his earlier roles. "And now you have parts that show you as this 'maybe third-party antagonist'. Can you give us a bit of hints to your role?"
RoM rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. "Now I wouldn't say it's much different from my former role just…expanded. The writers got the idea after we had the Halloween party."
"Oh right, the one where you came in dressed as Light Yagami. Once you took your glasses off you were just the spitting image." Grim recalled.
"You even had a fake Death Note and said the lines perfectly. I still remember the trick you did with the chips." Mami laughed to herself as she thought back to the holiday party.
"You made a very good Kira, RoM." Cast said sincerely.
"Why thank you." RoM stood for a second to take a mock bow before sitting back down. "But going back to what I was saying…RoM role didn't really change. One thing that the fans must have noticed is information. RoM's goals are really based on getting more and more research and knowing as much about everything in FFW as possible. Back in the Eclipse Tournament, he kept Mukurowl caged just so he could see exactly what Illu's seal held back, Hybrids needing familiars to transform aren't that common."
"Like the way Illu's brothers can transform." Grim clarified.
"Exactly." RoM smiled. "Plus if you pay attention to the fillers you know that RoM and Ravena have some backstory to be explained soon. However; that's all I'm telling for now."
"Yep, we don't want to get into too much trouble with the show regarding spoilers." Plugman agreed as he went on to the next topic. "So Grim…"
"Hmm?" Grim raised a brow, now the focus of the discussion.
"As we've seen for two chapters, your character has been made a temporary member of Kurotsubasa? Now, out of everyone in Team mercenary you seem to work well with all of the members or at least without much problems. What are the odds of Grim joining Kurotsubasa?" Plugman asked a question.
"That is hard to say, I didn't think if the guild joining thing might become more permanent." Grim said with genuine surprise. "I don't know much chances of that happening, though Grim joining is an allusion to something else."
"Oh?" Plugman asked.
"Grim won't be the last one to 'temporary' join Kurotsubasa. There will be a lot happening with the Guild Wars that many might not be prepared for." Grim said.
"Guess we've got another reason to be glued to our seats!" Plugman. "Though it makes me wonder if we'll ever get back to the other evil factions. Bringers of Destruction and Lords of Chaos, they aren't just up and gone people the threat is still there."
"Which is where I come into play." Cast chimed in. "Much of the Admin's duty is procuring the safety of all the players, though as you can see a lot of the major ones like Rina and I are not present and Speed just showed up again in the beginning. We're currently working on locating these faction's strongholds, though along the way we'll introduce the rest of the Admin as well."
"The rest, as in the silhouettes that appear in the early chapters?" Plugman asked.
"Yep, in fact one of the Admin has already been introduced and you'll be surprised who it is. Take your guesses everyone, but you will have to wait for the reveal like everyone else." Cast said.
"I see Rina's jokes are rubbing off on you." RoM commented on her joke.
"Well even though Rina is shown as more of the wild one on the show, she does still have a bit of a cold sense of humor. Though I can joke when I want I tend to not offend others all the while." Cast laughed nervously.
"And speaking of jokes, have you guys ever played pranks on each other off set?" asked Plugman.
"Please, it's almost routine!" exclaimed Grim with a chuckle. "You happen to be sitting next to one of the most notorious pranksters in the studio!"
Plugman quickly turned to look surprised at Mami who grinned and held up a peace sign.
"Guilty~!" she said in a sing-song voice.
"And so is her family," pointed out Cast. "Check out this footage from to weeks ago," she said as he gestured to the screen behind them as everyone turned to watch.
Footage Clip….
RoM was sitting at a table working on his laptop when Masukomi (presumably Mami) passed by next to his table.
"Hey RoM~" chirped Masukomi.
"Hey," mumbled RoM as the girl walked off.
Just then 'Mami' appeared again from where the first girl originally entered. "Hi RoM~"
"Hi." Muttered RoM again as the girl left when another Masukomi appeared as soon as the second one left.
"How's it goin RoM~?"
"Fine…"
The third disappears and a fourth Masukomi appears. This appears to go on for about a few more cycles with each round RoM is seen getting visibly more irritated with each greeting.
"Hey RoM?" the latest Masukomi called.
"WHAT?!" snapped RoM fuming madly as he swiveled to see all the Masukomi standing there smiling.
"WHATCHA' DOOOOOIN~?" they all chimed cheekily with a smile.
A tick mark visibly appeared on RoM's head to show that he had reached boiling point.
"GAH!" went RoM's loud strangled cry of frustration as he jumped from his seat and chased the girls out the room.
"WAI~ RoM-CHAN IS SCARY~" squealed the girls in chorus as they ran off laughing with a fuming RoM chasing after them.
End Clip
RoM blushed a bit as he tried to keep a straight face while Grim, Plugman and Mami were laughing their heads off.
"That was a cheap shot with that joke. Before then, I didn't know you and your sisters were identical." RoM said his face a bit pink from the embarrassment of the clip.
"Now now, you only have yourself to blame RoM. After all you were the one who walked into such an easy prank." Mami said with an amused look.
"But I was in the room!"
"All's fair in love and prank wars; those are what a certain Hyna taught us once these things started." She quickly reminded him.
"Well before you two get to try anything out of the prank book we might want to get through the episode first." Plugman said, almost about the leave the room if he found out that the two had booby-trapped the set. "We would like to give our appreciation to the fans before we all go pranking the ever-loving hell outta each other." The DJ said, already recalling pranks from the past.
"Then I guess it's my turn huh~?" The call of the lookalike sounded from the screen as it showed another member of Mami's family. "How's it going Cuz?"
"Smooth as usual Miko-tan, though you must have something special for us." Mami replied to her cousin. Still smiling after her banter with RoM. "So what do we have for the audience this time around?"
"Well~, as everyone saw. Many of the stunts and performances on the show are in fact real. With stunt doubles on short supply, most of us perform our own stunts on the show!" Miko began building up her introduction.
"Yep, all the retakes really are worth it when you get to see the final cut." Grim agreed with her.
"That's right, but you know she's only building us up to keep us in suspense. That only means, you've found someone on the set to explain that the audience will enjoy, haven't you?" Plugman took a shot in the dark.
"Precisely; I found someone who especially knows much about the fights and the stunts that are done on the show, a very familiar someone."
"Stop teasing us, Miko who did you find?" Mami impatiently asked.
"Fufufu~" Miko held back her enjoyment as she then began to introduce the guest of honor. "Ladies and Gentlemen, give your hands up for the man that's been doing the stunts since the beginning…Shadow!"
"Yo" Shadow walked into view with Amaya present on his head. He took a second to rub his eyes before walking next to Miko. "It's really been two years huh? The time's been flying by since this show was started."
"Not getting emotional on us, are you?" Miko teased him a bit.
"Of course not, I just got back from taking the colored contacts out from finishing the chapter. It gets irritating have to put them on and off again for certain scenes." Shadow said, having dealt with the irritation in his eyes, causing Amaya to look down.
"Pyon?" Amaya called in worry until she was patted on the head by Shadow.
"I'm fine, just not a fan of contacts." Shadow said.
"Ah, you did have a little problem with your eyes suddenly going red and back to normal a few times during the chapter. Care to inform us what that was supposed to represent?" Miko held up her mike.
"I can't really get into details about it since it would technically be spoiler related…but, I will say this. If you turn back to the Eclipse Tournament final battle you'll see this isn't the first time something like that happened." Spoke Shadow before handing Miko back her mike.
"Bringing it back to that season huh, you know there were a lot of rumors about that fight. One of which that you actually died. Is that rumor true?" Miko eagerly asked.
Shadow gave a small chuckle as he looked into the camera. "I don't think we're at the stage where we can kill off characters, yet. Near-death situations like that battle of course, but not actually kill off. Heck, last person the show killed off was a stand-in from the beginning of this arc."
Miko nodded her head in agreement. "Speaking of that, think they may try to kill off someone this time around? You have to admit, it's possible seeing as this arc is especially dark…darker than mostly anything else shown in the show."
"It is dark, but then again you can't expect everything to be soft and happy forever. Really, after the All Stars battle, the Dead Blood arc was to remind everyone that there are different kinds of guilds and players. Everyone has their own reasons for playing FFW." Shadow said.
"I see, will we be expecting more darker tones in the future?"
"Oh, there will especially be darker tones…though they're going to try and balance the tones out too."
"Oh, how so?" Miko asked out of curiosity.
"Well besides battles, the series is really getting into character developments and other things. We've got a whole lot in store for later chapters." Shadow answered.
"Would one of those events involve a certain person popping up time and again in the two chapters?" Miko asked, as she tried to coax some answers from Shadow.
Shadow smirked and just held up his hands. "Sorry, my lips are sealed. I can't really say anything about future stuff, got to keep the fan excited right?"
"U-Pyon~!" Amaya agreed, holding her ears in the same matter, though the manju and her answer had to stifle their laughs seeing the pout the woman gave her.
"Aww, that's no fun~. There has to be something that you're able to tell us? Come on, Shads, if anyone knows what's going on with the directors it would be you!" Miko continued to pout, showing that she wasn't satisfied with the previous answer.
"Hmm…think I should tell them something Amaya?" Shadow looked up to the baby-manju on his head.
"U-Pyon~" Amaya replied with a nod.
"Whelp, the little lady has spoken so I guess I can give you a bit of a reveal." Shadow said, this time laughing as he saw Miko's expression do a 180.
"Well don't just leave us in suspense, tell us!" Miko asked while holding her mike closer to Shadow in excitement.
"Hold on, I'll tell you but I will need to have you talk with someone else first." Shadow then pointed to where the makeup and costume department was on the set. "We can find our special someone there, plus this would be great to show the viewers wouldn't you say?" Shadow asked.
"Of course, have to see how we get pretty for the camera." Miko said teasingly before a thought occurred to her. "Hey, you aren't using the department as an excuse not to tell us anything right?"
"Of course, I'm not that evil." Shadow said in fake hurt. "I figured you would also want to hear from someone who knows about what I'm going to reveal." He said as he led the way to the makeup and costume room, getting to the door he then gave it a knock.
"Hey, are you still busy in there?" Shadow called out.
"Hai~Hai~!" came a muffled answer followed by footsteps as the door flung open showing Ravena and Punnya. "Well Hi~! Shadow~ Mimi~!"
"Hey Rave~" "It's Miko…."
"Wow, Is it our turn already~?" asked Ravena cheerfully as Punnya bounced on Ravena's head excitedly.
"Sure is!" replied Shadow as he turned to the camera. "You all know Ravena as our resident magical Nekomata on the show, but her real magic is being the Head of the Make-up and Costume department."
"That's right people~! Ravena's the reason why we all get to look fabulous in the spotlight~" piped Miko as Ravena smiled shyly and rubbed her head bashfully.
"Aww, shucks you~" said Ravena bashfully. "But it's not just me, I have my own team to help me~" she said as she led the group inside to reveal a large dress studio before blowing a whistle. "Beauty Squadron assemble!"
Suddenly dramatic music began playing all around as Ravena back flipped on to a small stage.
Miko tilted her head in confusion while Shadow simply sighed.
Suddenly the lights went out as four silhouettes could be scene jumping in out of nowhere. Suddenly a spotlight illuminated on to Ravena who wore a red flowing scarf around her neck as she twirled a make-up brush in her hand.
"Leading the Squadron that casts the spells of Beauty ~ Ravena Felidae: Magic Red!" announced Ravena striking a pose.
The second spotlight shone onto a young man who charismatically flourished a comb and trimming scissors as his blue scarf fluttered behind him. "I cast my spell to brings out the Charismatic Beauty in one's Hair~ Bird-of-Prey: Style Blue~!"announced Preyalso striking a pose.
The next three spotlights illuminated at the same time on three familiar young women wearing yellow, pink and black scarves.
"The three of us are the Maidens of Fashion, our spells bring out the shine and voices of the clothes~! The Luci-Mina Trio," they started out in unison.
"Fashion Yellow!-"
"-Pink!-"
"-Black~!"
"Whether Man or Woman! Plain or Glamorous! We are the Magicians who cast our spells to bring out the Beauty in anyone~! We are the Beauty Squadron!" announced the group dramatically striking poses as confetti exploded behind them.
Miko and the camera crew sweatdropped while Shadow chuckled a bit. "Always have to make a dramatic entrance, don'tcha?…."
"Oh come now dear Shadow~ Where's the fun in an ordinary introduction?" asked Prey rhetorically as he pirouetted off the stage and appeared next to the young man placing an arm around Shadow's shoulder before flashing a smile to the camera.
"Well as we mentioned before, Prey here is our charismatic hairstylist when he's not being a pervert on screen," introduced Shadow bluntly while Prey flashed a charismatic smile.
"And with costumes are our fashion experts, the triplets who play the role of Luci-Mina~" introduced Ravena.
"Luci desu~!" "Mina desu~!" "Lumi desu~!" piped each girl respectively in front of the camera.
"Whoa, didn't expect all the members of the makeup crew would have spots in the cast. Well from this chapter alone I say you five did some really good work." Miko complimented the team.
"Why thank you Miko-tan~. The Beauty Squadron does our best to have everyone look camera ready and perfect nya." Ravena spoke as she dragged the triplets and Prey close to her as they all smiled to the camera. "When the director needed more people to help with the makeup for all our newest cast members I happily volunteered. Luci, Mina, Lumi, and Prey joined me almost as soon as they came to work here!"
"Hai~! We came here to work on costume and makeup, but Luci and Mina had the idea to audition for the show. I was nervous, but they pulled me along to the audition." Lumi said, still wearing her Luci-Mina outfit but without all the elaborate designs and props.
"You know you love it Sis, you even got the big part." Mina said, waiving off that Lumi admitted that they had dragged her to their first audition with her other triplet.
"Hai, Mi and I got roles but for the sake of the show we can't really tell you~." Luci added in with a playful tone to her voice.
"Huh, that's no fun. One of the reasons we're here is because Shadow and Amaya promised a look at secrets; we can't leave the fans empty handed and not giving them what they want." Miko tried as best she could to coax information from the trio of siblings. "Come just one little video, news from the writer's room, anything?"
Ravena then began to wave her finger and speak in a condescending tone. "Now now, Miko. Who said anything about going back on our word? What Luci said is that we can't reveal hers and Mina's roles in the story as of yet. Now we do have something special to show everyone at home."
"Oh?" Miko rose up in interest.
"A little clothing project the directors gave us for the next arc that is coming up." Prey clarified as he went back to roll in four draped over stands. "These beauties will going to be shown off sometime after this Guild War, but we can give you a sneak peak of these outfits since they're not finished yet."
"Not finished, are you five still working on making it perfect?" Shadow asked, only knowing a few things about their design projects himself.
"Oh we've worked out a final look, but we're striving for perfection." Prey started out by saying. "We've got to have certain materials to finish though for the most part the new outfits are finished."
"So can we removed the covers and show our audience?" Miko walked over to reach the drapes though her hand was quickly slapped away by Prey.
"Now no need to get grabby." Prey said as if chastising a child.
"Well then how are we going to show the people at home?" Miko ask, pouting angrily at the man, though it only seemed to give her a humorous look than a threatening one.
"We can just show you the clothes~." Luci gleefully smiled.
"But~…" Mina started.
"There is a better way to show off our creations." Lumi finished as the three then began to walk the reporter and the camera crew with them further inside their makeup department.
Shadow stood a bit confused before he realized something. "They're not taking them too…?"
"Yep, what's better than showing clothes than a full runway show?! You're more than welcome to come with us too." Ravena said with the offer of invitation as well. Shadow took a moment to think the actress' offer over before shaking his head.
"Thanks, but since we're done for the day I think Amaya and I are going to relax before we head to the party later." Shadow said as he and Amaya turned to leave. "Thanks for the offer; I'll be back before the party starts if any of you need me." After the two left, Ravena then turned and walked to where she knew her team had dragged the camera crew.
"So what is this special surprise?" Miko asked. As she and the crew got settled Ravena had just joined them. The cat themed actress then noticed that the rest of her team was gone along with the draped costumes but she happened to know exactly where they were.
"Why Miko, haven't you ever seen a runway before?" Ravena asked.
"Runway?" Miko parroted as she paid more attention to her surroundings. The makeup team had inded led them out of the second door of their room to a miniature stage and runway complete with chairs for her and the crew to sit in.
"Nya~, just showing the clothes would be boring so why not have the team model it." Ravena then projected her voice towards the stage. "Prey, Luci, Mina, Lumi…show us your stuff!" She called out to them.
"Hai~!"
Soon the four walked out from the curtains and down the runway, each of them dressed in an identical cloak. The cloaks were all deep black in color as they seem to draw in all the light shining onto them. The outside of each were also decorated with harlequin patterns, the only difference between the four were the different card suits that were present on the plate placed around the neck.
"Whoa, what guild will be wearing these beauties?" Miko asked, starstruck at the designs as they gave off a sinister feeling as well as mysterious feeling as well. In fact the on with the heart seemed to be styled to better hid Luci's face from view than the other cloaks.
"Ah well, you can say these are uniforms for a guild but we can't really get into specifics without going too much into the spoiler zone." Mina said. "Though, these clothes will be belonging to a group that will soon challenge Kurotsubasa after this arc."
"Whaaa, that's it?! There has to be more you can tell us?!" Miko asked, not noticing that Ravena was previously on her phone before she ended her conversation.
"Actually there is more, I just got permission from the big guys in charge to show you guys a little…preview for the next big group." Ravena said as they then began to set up to show the preview. Soon the cameramen were able to set up another screen so that they could play the preview Ravena gave them.
"Once again, good old Rave saves the day~." Miko cheered, causing the actress to laugh.
"If you want to thank anyone, thank the producers that want to leave the audience with something." Ravena said just as the camera crew gave the thumbs up showing that they were ready whenever the reporter was.
"Are we ready to start?" Prey translated everyone's thoughts.
"Yep, fire up that preview!" Miko ordered in excitement. The cameramen then nodded and after a few commands they started up the clip, allowing it to fill the audience's screen.
(Preview)
"Well well, look who I haven't seen in a long time…Kurotsubasa~."
Shadow stopped his walk away from the guild and looked back to a familiar face. He turned around, along with the remaining members of Kurotsubasa to face their interrupter all the while Punnya was calling at towards the man. Whisk was standing boldly, still the same as usual though there were some differences.
Instead of being barehanded, the vampire now had metal gauntlets on his arms both slim and streamlined to better fit his hands and protect them. The steel of the gauntlets was also inscribed with various runes, almost matching that of the Wings on Shadow's wrist. Over his usual outfit was a black cloak with harlequin patterns decorated the outside of it,
"You're the last person I want to see right now Whisk." Shadow said, his fingers gripped tightly from contained anger.
"Is that anyway to treat a former member?" Whisk asked.
"A former member who messed with our minds and got his sister arrested!" Bella was about to storm over towards him but was stopped by both DB and Key.
"Ouch, tough room…speaking of room, it looks like you're missing one of your pets Shads. What happened between you and Sis?" Whisk asked out of both playful and genuine curiosity.
"Piss off Whisk, I've got no time for you." Shadow said, about to leave before anyone could stop him.
"Oh, no time for a Guild War challenge?" Whisk said stopping the guild leader in his tracks. "I didn't think you were one to run away from a challenge? Just because one War went sour and Ravena leaves your guild doesn't mean you can just shirk my challenge."
"Your challenge, what guild are you a part of?" Shadow spoke while glaring coldly, eyes flashing red briefly.
"Well, I wouldn't say I lead it, but our leader did give us permission to challenge you…and believe me this is a challenge you don't want to refuse." Whisk smirked as he pulled out an emblem with a symbol that made Shadow's eyes widened, the symbol of the BoD, Bringers of Destruction.
"That mark…it looks just like the one that appeared on the monsters from underground." Illu said, recalling the symbol appearing on some of the creatures they have fought before. This instantly got the others paying attention while Shadow continued his glare.
"Ah, so you do know what I'm getting at. That just makes this easier…" Whisk slipped the emblem away and addressed the guild. "See I got a challenge I want to give you. My group against yours…three on three."
"Three? Hate to point it out to you, but you're alone. What's stopping us from taking you down and dragging you to the Admin." DB said.
"Now who said I was alone." Whisk asked as a figure had then jumped down in front of the two.
"Hold on! If anyone is going to fight and get punished by Whisk-sama its Lu-Mi!" Luci-Mina appeared wearing a similar cloak to Whisk. She held her arms wide and stood tall before she was picked up by the back of her cloak by Whisk.
"A bit early don't you think?" Whisk asked the now chibified jokette.
"You got your crazy friend, big deal; you're still missing a guy if you still want a three-" Bella said as Whisk held up a finger.
"Ah-ah-ah! Hold up we do have one more~!"announced Whisk cutting her off as he snapped his fingers . On cue, a small black portal materialized in the ground as a female figure donning a hooded version of the harlequin cloak. Her entire persona was cold and seemed to be radiating darkness. Her hood shadowed her face but despite that something was familiar about her. Cold, empty eyes gleamed from the shade as her hands made their way to lower the hood.
The camera then cuts to Shadow with a look of shock appearing in his eyes as the scenes fade to black. (Preview End)
After the screen faded to black, it then lightened up to reveal Plugman and Masukomi in the host room.
"I will say I did not see any of that coming! Whoa, looks like a lot of problems are going to rear their ugly heads in the future." Plugman said as the show was now focused back on him and Komi in the host room.
"But that just gives all of us a lot to look forward too after we finish this arc." Komi then turned to the crowd. "Now ladies and gentlemen, we did show you a quick peak of the future but I would like to drop that aside to show something else."
"We still have more to show?" A confused Plugman asked.
"Why of course~. This is what I've been waiting for since we've started going on air my friend." Komi then pulled out, from out of nowhere, an unlabeled DVD case. She then opened the black case to reveal the disk.
"Komi is that disk what I think it is?" Plugman asked.
"Right…this little thing I'm holding is a disc with some of the bloopers and goofiness behind-the-scenes for FFW." Komi smiled. "I figured we might as well go out with a bang so I got permission to show these babies for the show." She said as she helped the case in her hand.
"Well then what are we waiting for, let's pop that into the player and let her spin." Plugman said excited.
"Right, well everyone here's what some of you have been waiting for!" Komi said as she allowed the bloopers to play.
Bloopers
Scene!
"Players, we have received message that several hacks have taken place over this month. These hacks have started the dematerializing of several areas in this server!" The lead Guard began. "Let me remind you that all forms of hacking are prohibited and will lead to probation, but tampering with the server is a huge violation of FFW Administration rules and will result in immediate expulsion from FFW!" The Guard paused to let the information reach the crowd of confused players before continuing. "If anyone had any information on these hackings or the areas inform one of us or message the Administration, you're cooperation will be rewarded!"
The talk of rewards immediately got the crowd talking, many talking about finding the hackers. As the Guards began to leave the area Shadow reviews all the information he just heard…or at least he would've if not for one of the guards whose boot caught the ground causing him to trip. The accident caused everyone to stop as some struggled to stop laughing while other were laughing entirely.
"Cut!" A director said as everyone was having their fits of laughter.
"Wwww-Wade, wwwhat tttthe hell?" One of the Admin Guards could barely talk because of how hard he was laughing.
The one known as Wade was now scrambling to his feet, trying to save as much face as he could after that embarrassing slipup. "Uh… should we redo the scene?"
"Hell no, let's leave that in! It'll be hilarious!" Another one of the actors voiced his opinion.
"Piss off Frank!"
"Can I at least keep that footage? The guys in the breakroom wouldn't believe this!"
Scene!
Shadow then pulled out his scythe and got into a stance of his own. "I can tell you many things but it looks like you aren't going to listen to anything I got to say. I'm not a hacker; I'm not the one doing all of this."
"Well then tell me how you got into this area?" Leon's eyes met Shadow's.
"I can't tell you that." Shadow said.
"Then prepare yourself." Leon then charged with his broadsword raised.
Shadow blocked the strike though the clash caused both to suddenly send their weapons flying of screen with audible crashes. The two actors slowly paused as they tried to make sense of what happened and looked about awkwardly.
Scene!
Rose enters RoM's shop where she is greeted.
"Welcome's to RoM's info, source of all your answers for the right price. How may I help you?" RoM asked.
Rose stands there looking serious when it was her turn to say her line. "I need information…." She said as she suddenly trailed off. "On what my damn next line is!" she demanded in a serious tone while everyone off screen burst out into laughter while RoM was suppressing a need to laugh.
"Why are you laughing?! I need my lines!" demanded Rose as a joke making everyone laugh harder.
Scene!
The next scene basically was the scene where Shadow was supposed to confront Rose who had kidnapped Illu and Ravena.
"Rose, its been a while…" said Shadow when the camera panned over to the three girls who struck a 'Charlie's Angels' trio pose all of a sudden.
"CUT!" yelled the director as laughing was heard audibly in the background. "Rose!"
"Sorry! We couldn't help it!" apologized Ravena in between laughs.
Scene!
RoM was screaming as he ran about his scene with Mukurowl pecking his head.
"Ow!OW!Ow!OW! ILLUUUUUU! GET YOUR F-BLEEP!-ING BIRD OFF ME!"
Scene!
The next scene showed Aka (Raiden) standing between Fuijin and Suijin smiling brightly as the twins bent down and kissed his cheeks on either side as a couple of guys off-set who had crushes on the twins had to be held back from strangling him.
Scene!
The director was on set directing the Guild War between Kurotsubasa and Kotsubasa and was facing the former. Unbeknowst to him Kotsubasa were acting silly by dancing and pulling funny faces at him while Kurotsubasa was trying their hardest not to laugh.
To top it off when the director turned around to direct Kotsubasa it was Kurotsubasa's turn who began acting silly.
Scene!
DB quickly whipped out his guns when he started fumbling with one of them.
Scene!
Shawn and the others were running after the cat but as they turned a corner. Kohaku's shoe strap broke as she tripped sideways and collided with everyone.
"KYA!" "WOAH!" SON-OF-A-!" CRASH! Went the group as they crashed and tumbled into the bushes.
"Cut! Cut!" yelled the director quickly as stagehands began running up to help them out as they laughed in embarrassment.
"Ahh! I'm so sorry!" apologized Kohaku sheepishly in between laughs as she hid her face in embaressment.
"You alright?" asked a stagehand.
"I'm fine! I'm Fine!" she replied while the others laughed away.
Scene!
Back to DB who was trying to twirl his gun but it flew of his hand and conked him on his head making him yell and grab his head.
"ARGH! SONOVABITCH!" cursed DB loudly as he dropped his other gun.
Scene!
"Arf~ Whisk-sama~" squealed Lu-Mi excitedly.
"Oh Lu-Mi~!" replied Whisk suddenly with the same enthusiasm when he grabbed Lu-Mi and brought her into a dip with his back to the camera as the two pretended to make-out as Ravena and Illu gave small fangirl screams and Shadow stared stunned whilst everyone else were whistling, whooping and giving cat-calls.
Suddenly Whisk and Lu-Mi exaggeratedly broke apart from their 'make-out session' as Whisk dropped to knees and dramatically pumped his fists in the air. "YES! I AM FINALLY A MAN!" he declared proudly and dramatically while Lu-Mi was awkwardly smiling and rubbing her lips with a bright blush on her face as everyone laughed really hard.
Scene!
"Ok, this time!" declared Db as he began twirling his guns. It seemed like he was getting it when he suddenly sneezed and the gun poked him in the eye.
"GAAAAAH!" screamed DB dropping his guns and holding his eye as he hopped about in pain shouting : * BLEEP * *BLEEP! * *BLEEP! * *BLEEEEEEEEEEE….
Scene!
Kusanagi was squealing with laughter as Whisk picked her up her small form and swung her about like a kid while Raiden was hopping up and down excitedly.
"Ooh! Me next! Me next!" he volunteered enthusiastically.
Scene!
It was the beach scene where Ravena, Sakura and Rose were waiting for the next scene to start and decided to randomly start krumping while Grim and Doppelman joined in and freestyled.
Scene!
DB finally recovered from his earlier 'accident'.
"Aaaand….ACTION!"
DB whipped out his guns and began twirling them with expertise before posing with them and smiled cockily.
"And CUT!" yelled the director as everybody cheered while DB jumped up and down victoriously as he bro-hugged everyone cheering.
End Gag Reel….
After a long and loud applause the screen returns to Plugman and Komi, both happily looking and waving at the audience.
"One year done and another steadily going, stay tuned to see all the surprises and adventures that only FFW can give you all! However; we'll have to end this little celebration here for now." Plugman finished his closing words.
"Yep, but don't forget you all have more than one reason to celebrate! None of this could've been done without your support, so special thanks from all of us here in FFW!" Komi said with a bright smile. "While we head to our party, be sure to party yourselves you've earned it!"
"Until next time, peace!"
"We'll be back next chapter~!"
End
