MARCUS: Dust it!
Marcus McCloud was playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
GAME: GAME! FOX WINS!
MARCUS: Mission complete!
SORA: Marcus, don't you have homework to do?
MARCUS: Who cares? I made the semifinals in the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate video game competition. Neat entry form, huh? If I win, it's my ticket to Seattle for the finals. So thanks for stopping by, Sora. Show yourself out, won't you?
*Sora turns off the TV*
MARCUS: SORA!
SORA: Sorry, but your dad said too many video games will rot your brain. Now, go do your homework. Go on, scat.
MARCUS: Math. No sweat. I've got multiple choices down to a fine art.
Marcus doodles the Smash Bros. Sigil on his math sheet
MARCUS: A masterpiece! History. Discuss the president you admire most and why. George Washington. He invented the dollar bill. That's history.
MARCUS: Science. Prepare a simple compound. Piece of cake.
Marcus makes a chocolate cake out of viles.
MARCUS: Chocolate fudge. Homework's done.
GAME: GAME! SORA WINS!
MICHIRU: Hey! No fair!
SORA: Wahoo! Victory is mine. Yes!
MARCUS: You're right, video games do rot your brain. And what's Michiru doing here?
SORA: ..I…Oh… (laughs) We were looking for something educational to watch.
Marcus notices a piece of paper sticking out of Sora's jacket.
MARCUS: You're entering the contest, too. You knew all along.
SORA: Y..Yeah… yeah, well…
MARCUS: Shouldn't you and Michiru be restoring Anima City, Beastman?
SORA: Uh… It's… a slow week. Yeah. I… I'll quit playing just as soon as I'm needed. Come on.
*Phone rings and Sora picks up*
SORA: Hello? Sorry, wrong number.
*Sora hangs up*
SORA: See? Nothing happening.
Meanwhile at the Nintendo warehouse, Giuliano Flip and Yuji Tachiki saw a strange, colorful crate.
YUJI TACHIKI: Hmm, That's odd. It's from Quackerjack Toys.
GIULIANO FLIP: Didn't he go out of business a long time ago?
QUACKERJACK: That's right. I did go out of business. And it's all Mario's fault. He has merchandising tie-ins. He has an advertising budget. He has better looks. He even has an animated movie from Universal and Nintendo. But Quackerjack has toys!
QUACKERJACK: Hehehahaha! It's playtime!
QUACKERJACK: I like coffee I like tea I like toys and they like me I see London, I see France I see Mario kicked in the pants
GIULIANO FLIP: Mario Mania is bigger than anything you can handle, Quackerjack. The contest at the mall is proof.
QUACKERJACK: Contest? Did you hear that, Mr. Banana Brain? A chance to take Plumber Boy out of the game permanently! Playtime's over!
KABOOM!
GIULIANO FLIP: Ugh! We gotta get a new line of work.
Later, at the mall…
MIYAMOTO: Marcus McCloud takes the lead, ladies and gentlemen.
REGGIE: Next up, Sora and Michiru Kagemori.
Sora and Michiru were in their human form so no one sees that they're Beastmen from a Japanese Anime.
MARCUS: Good luck. Not like it'll make a difference.
SORA: Ha! I don't need luck. I'm hot.
KABOOM!
GAME (WINDING DOWN): No contest.
MARCUS: Hot? You're sizzling.
QUACKERJACK: [giggles] It's playtime!
MARCUS: QUACKERJACK?!
SORA: So, he's the one who ruined my game! Alright, that's it! Going Beastman!
Sora and Michiru morph into their animal forms to get back at Quackerjack for making the display Nintendo Switch explode.
QUACKERJACK: Oh, Sora and Michiru, you stay out of this. This is between me and Mario.
SORA: What's Mario ever done to hurt you?
QUACKERJACK: He put me, Quackerjack, the world's greatest toy maker, out of business.
MICHIRU: Well, we're putting you out of commission.
*Michiru activates her gorilla arms*
Quackerjack throws a motorized hula hoop at Sora.
MICHIRU: Sora!
QUACKERJACK: Run away, run away Live to play another day
SORA: Mi-i-i-chi-i-i-i-ru-u-u…. he-e-e-e-e-lp!
MARCUS: I'll help you, Sora!
Marcus pulls out the hula hoop.
SORA: pant… pant… thanks… Marcus… now, where was I? Oh, yeah!
SORA: Get back here, clown!
MICHIRU: I could've done that.
Sora and Michiru flew across the mall to chase Quackerjack.
SORA: Jacks? That's a sissy game!
QUACKERJACK: What sissy game? It's a classic! [cackles]
SORA: Phew! That was close.
MICHIRU: Well, at least we won't see him again for a long time.
MIYAMOTO: Sakurai, I'm thinking publicity.
SAKURAI: Talk to me, Miyamoto.
MIYAMOTO: Sora and Michiru as a cross between BNA and KINGDOM HEARTS. It's big, really big.
SAKURAI: It's a go. Run with it.
MICHIRU: Really? Us? I don't know what to say.
SORA: How about, "Thanks"?
MIYAMOTO: My name is Shigeru Miyamoto. You already know Mr. MasahiroSakurai.
SAKURAI: Sora, you and Michiru against the competition. How about it?
SORA: Um, ahem, let me check my calendar… We'd love to!
MIYAMOTO: Fab. You and a kid. Major showdown.
SORA: And who are we playing against?
SAKURAI: Marcus McCloud!
SORA: GASP!
MARCUS: I do so hope you won't be too hard on me, Sora.
SORA: I'll have to practice hard to beat such a talented player, Marcus.
MIYAMOTO: Let's take this grudge match to Seattle.
Sora, Michiru and Marcus were flying to Seatlle, Washington, USA.
When they arrived, the crowd was cheering for Marcus.
MICHIRU: I'll just take Marcus to the limo.
SORA: Thanks.
Michiru and Marcus walked to the limo as the crowd leaves.
SORA: Hello, Seattle!
Sora falls out the plane and then a truck carrying a Quackerjack crate drives by.
SORA: Uh oh..
Later…
MIYAMOTO: Sorry your old man couldn't be here, little one.
SAKURAI: Food poisoning?
MARCUS: Oh, my dad wanted Sora and Michiru to babysit me.
SAKURAI: This is the molecular digitizer, as seen in the movie, TRON.
MARCUS: I love that movie! It's one where computer genius Kevin Flynn gets sucked into a computer world where programs are gladiators and users are worshiped as gods.
SORA: Hey! I met Tron! He's a friend of mine! Only he was copied from ENCOM to Hallow Bastion OS.
MICHIRU: That movie is so 80's.
SAKURAI: Watch this!
The laser hits the apple and gets send inside the computer
SORA: Wow!
Later…
SAKURAI: To your right, the space needle. To you right the convention center. You'll note the banner reads…
SORA: "Welcome, Marcus"? Hey, I was asked first! I'm the star!
MICHIRU: Face it, Sora. Marcus is probably gonna beat you in Smash Bros.
SORA: Oh…
SAKURAI: To the left you'll see a giant Crying Crissy Doll.
ALL: A giant Crying Crissy Doll?!
DOLL: Mama! Mama!
SORA: What's a giant Crying Crissy Doll doing in Seattle?
MARCUS: Flooding it!
Marcus was right. Quackerjack was here.
DOLL: Mama! Mama!
QUACKERJACK: [laughing] It's playtime!
DOLL: Mama! Mama!
QUACKERJACK: [giggling] You're all washed-up, Mario!
SORA: Boy, do I hate a crybaby. I'll give you something to bawl about.
Sora shoots tear gas into the doll's head.
SORA: Eat this!
QUACKERJACK: [sobbing] So it's tears you want?
SORA: Oops!
MARCUS: Way to go, Sora.
SORA: Hey, you! You don't want to mess with a Beastman! If you do, you'll pay!
The doll kicks Sora into the water.
MARCUS: My sister had one of these dolls when she was a baby. I'll fix her!
Marcus runs around the doll in a boogie board causing the head to rotate out of control and pop out.
QUACKERJACK: Whoa!
MARCUS: Woohoo! Those cheap dolls. The head was always the first thing to go.
QUACKERJACK: I hate you and your playmates, Mario!
Sora was practicing for the contest while Marcus was practicing with a Gamecube controller and a Gamecube controller adapter.
SORA: Oh, you've got a Gamecube controller! And a Gamecube controller adapter!
MARCUS: Darn right, I do! Face it, Sora, you're history. You've never even reached the final Level.
SORA: Look, I know it's not much but maybe we can work out some installment plan?
MARCUS: Are you trying to bribe me?
SORA: No, just giving you a boost in your allowance?
SORA: Uh, now look, Quackerjack's sure to show up.
SORA: I'm only trying to protect you.
SORA: I'm only in this silly contest so I can apprehend him when he makes his next move.
MARCUS: Yeah, right.
SORA: Gimme that!
Marcus slaps away Sora's hand.
MARCUS: Oh, no you don't!
SORA: Marcus, as your chaperone, I order you not to go.
MARCUS: Oh, yeah? Make me!
SORA: Why I oughta…
MICHIRU: BOYS! STOP IT! STOP FIGHTING! Just save it for Smash Bros.
SORA: [growls]
MARCUS: [growls]
SAKURAI Marcus, Sora, Michiru. Limo's waiting. Competition time, chop chop.
Later, it was time for the competition…
ANNOUNCER: in this corner, the son of Fox and Krystal… Marcus McCloud!
MARCUS: Aw, man! Where's my controller?
ANNOUNCER: And in this corner, the human-turned lion Beastman, the protagonist of KINGDOM HEARTS… Sora and his friend, the human-turned Tanuki Beastman… Michiru Kagemori!
MARCUS: HEY! That's my controller! Give it back!
MICHIRU: Sora, give Marcus back his controller.
SORA: But… sigh… okay… you win!
ANNNOUNCER: Presenting… The Molecular Digitizer! We'll digitize this object right before your eyes!
Laser hits apple and is sent into the game.
Meanwhile…
QUACKERJACK: [clicking tongue] Don't they know video games rot your brain?
Quackerjack walks in with his crate.
MARCUS: Oh, man! Not him again!
QUACKERJACK: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm pleased to announce [laughing] playtime!
Quackerjack pulls the box open and releases his robotic toy teeth to attack the audience.
SORA: What's the big deal? They can't see you. You think they had… Homing sensors?!
Sora managed to fight back with his Keyblade. And now it was time to fight Quackerjack!
QUACKERJACK: I hope you croak, you despicable lion Beastman!
Quackerjack almost springs out of the arena when Sora stops him and he bounces backs, hits Sora and runs into the laser as it zaps them into the game.
MARCUS: Sora!
MICHIRU: Sora!
SORA: Help!
MIYAMOTO: They shouldn't be in there.
MARCUS: Duh, Mr. Wizard. What happened?
SAKURAI: The gun must've shorted out. Tough break.
SORA: Good thing it's only a game. Ow! A very realistic game.
QUACKERJACK: Oh, what a horrible fate. I can already feel my brain rotting.
SORA: So, this is the world of light, huh?
Puppet fighters chase after Sora as Fox McCloud appears and stands still.
SORA: Fox, old buddy, help me out, would ya?
Fox does nothing and get defeated
GAME: DEFEAT!
QUACKERJACK: [laughing] You hate Whiffle Boy as much as I do. Now wallop him, playpal!
MARCUS: Poor Sora! We gotta get him out!
SAKURAI: There's only one way out. The exit's on the Final Level.
MARCUS: Final Level? He's a goner. Unless, my Dad helps.
Marcus grabs his Gamecube controller and chooses Fox, his father.
QUACKERJACK: [laughs] It's playtime! I can get to like video games.
SORA: Eat fire, puppet fighter!
Sora summons Firaga.
SORA: Okay, that wasn't enough.
Fox appears and defeats a puppet fighter.
MARCUS: Let the games begin!
GAME: VICTORY!
SORA: Yes! Fox is back!
QUACKERJACK: No, you don't!
SORA: Well, Fox, I guess you know who we're fighting next. Ah! Cloud!
MARCUS: B! B! B!
Marcus was pressing the B button rapidly as Fox shot his blaster.
SORA: Fox, we gotta work on your aim.
Quackerjack was behind Sora and ready to attack him. But Fox's FS meter was full. Thus, Marcus pressed the B button and activated his Final Smash.
FOX: It's go time! Star Fox, fire at will!
KABOOM!
SORA: Nice shot!
GAME: VICTORY!
SORA: Sheik! Fox, Let's get dangerous!
Sora fought Ryu with his Keyblade.
SORA: Let me handle him, Fox. You've got two lives left!
Sora kept fighting and then he noticed Quackerjack was behind him and Fox.
After Sora defeated Sheik, Quackerjack grabbed Mr. Banana Brain and threw at Sora.
QUACKERJACK: Try your ninja nonsense on Mr. Banana Brain, my fine furry fop.
Sora kicked back Mr. Banana Brain as it landed in Fox's hands and explodes.
SORA: Oops!
MARCUS: Good job, Sora.
SORA: Why you!
Sora fought Quackerjack and knocked him out.
GAME: VICTORY!
GAME: READY? GO!
SORA: Master Hand, you're going down!
GAME: Daddy Weasel unhappy. You picked on his boy.
SORA: Daddy Weasel?! Uh oh!
DADDY WEASEL: AAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Fox reappears.
SORA: Fox, help!
Fox attemps to fight Daddy Weasel but got defeated.
SORA: Oh no!
MARCUS: My last Fox, Sora's on his own!
SORA: Well, that's just great, Fox. Abandon me, your biggest fan.
QUACKERJACK: Faster, faster!
DADDY WEASEL: [laughing]
MARCUS: Jump, Sora! Jump!
Sora had an idea.
SORA: Ah! Oh, help me! I've fallen and I can't get up!
Sora was lying near the edge of the stage and Daddy Weasel nearly stomps on him but, Sora avoids him.
SORA: Just kidding.
Daddy Weasel falls and dies.
QUACKERJACK: Ouch!
SORA: Yeah, yeah. You might say they fell for the old lame lion routine.
QUACKERJACK: I'll get you yet!
MARCUS: Can we get him out now?
SAKURAI: Sure. Unless Crazy Hand gets him first.
MARCUS: CRAZY HAND?!
SORA: That's the way out? Sweet!
*Crazy Hand appears*
CRAZY HAND: AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
SORA: Nice doggy. Hi-ya!
CRAZY HAND: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
Sora is returned to the real world.
MARCUS: Are you okay?
Sora faints.
MICHIRU: He's okay.
QUACKERJACK: Two can play that game.
CRAZY HAND: AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Crazy Hand smashes Quackerjack flat.
MARCUS: Don't look, Sora. It's not pretty.
QUACKERJACK: I don't like this game!
MIYAMOTO: Congrats, I think.
SAKURAI: You won, I guess.
MARCUS: Well, Sora did help a little.
MICHIRU: Yeah, let's call it a tie.
MIYAMOTO: Smile.
SAKURAI: Major photo-op here.
MICHIRU: Promise you won't fight over anything ever again?
SORA: Okay. Marcus, I'm sorry for being jealous of you cool controller.
MARCUS: I'm sorry for not letting you protect me.
MICHIRU: Good.
Sora, Marcus and Michiru held up the trophy as a photo was taken.
THE END
