Alas, yet aother normal day in Dinosaur World for the racers in the First Annual Yoshi Kart Grand Prix...

"Or is it?" Questioned Kirby, who got hit in the head by King DeDeDe's mallet.

"Shut up, you ugly puffball," King DeDeDe threatened in his southern texan accent, grinning like the hearty jerk that he was.

Waluigi, who was nearby, was serving the drinks, doing this as a day job whilst in the night, he would be at his own pub, which was closed for repairs.

"What do you mean there's no ketchup here!?" Pikachu shouted in shock.

Yoshi nervously rubbed the back of his head. "Well, uhh, you see, we sorta ran out a-" He watched Pikachu storm off to electrocute some Starlies. He sighed. "Damn, this is harder than I thought."

"Tell me about it," Mario mused as he got the grill ready, "To think, we're doing this to get some money out for ourselves. Eh, Sonic?"

"Oh yeah..." Sonic nodded in agreement. "And if it's another race... you can bet we'll run into some wierd shit. Speaking of wierd shit... I wonder what storybook world I might end up in, in another game... Though the world of King Arthur was pretty neat."

"Of course! Everyone loves knights!" A voice said from Sonic's back...

"...What... was that...?" Toad piped, hiding behind Luigi as he looked around.

Then they noticed something on Sonic's back, a regal looking sword. Could IT be what just spoke?

Princess Peach was about to head out with Princess Zelda, when she spotted the sword that was with Sonic. Her jaw dropped.

"Sonic... that wouldn't be a talking sword... would it...?" She asked, running up to the blue hedgehog. This caught everyone else's attention as well.

"Hm?" Sonic quired an eyebrow. "Oh! You must mean Caliburn, here." He drew out the sword, showing that this particular sword had a face on it.

"Hello!" The sword greeted. "My name is Caliburn."

"...You seem familiar... do I know you?" Link asked, scratching the back of his head.

Yoshi paused, asking Link, "Wait a minute, Link, your Master Sword is gone. Where is it?"

Link blinked, and he snapped his fingers. "Oh, that! Well... uhh... you see..." Before he could finish, a shadowy girl walked past by them.

"...Link, who was THAT?" Mario asked, accidentally dropping some burgers on the ground, causing Luigi to slip.

Link sighed. "Oh, that was just Steve."

Silence.

"...Steve? Seriously?" Yoshi replied, trying to keep a serious face without bursting into laughter.

"Lol, Steve," Chuckled Ganondorf, who took a sip of his coffee and continued chuckling.

Link groaned, slapping his face. "You try going by GameFAQs without being ridiculed. It hurts, you know." Shaking his head, he turned to Caliburn, "Anyway, don't I know you somewhere?"

"Well... uhh..." Caliburn slightly stuttered, hiding back behind Sonic as he replied, "Jeeze, if I knew this many people would be curious, I would never hide behind this blue hedgehog."

"...HEY!!" Sonic exclaimed angrily, feeling rather insulted.

Outside, Knuckles was showing some of the racers the Master Emerald that he managed to somehow bring with him, which caused Shadow to curiously invesigate.

"Ahhh... my pride and joy..." Knuckles the Echidna murmured as he grinned, polishing up the Master Emerald to make it shine its beautiful greenness.

"That sure is one big ass emerald," Commented Bowser Jr., who poked at it with his paintbrush.

"It sure is..." Silver the Hedgehog added, nodding as he folded his arms.

"Knuckles?" Shadow the Hedgehog asked, wary as he raised an eyebrow while pointing at the Master Emerald, "How did you managed to drag that all the way here?"

Knuckles cleared his throat. "Well, it's to protect it from thieves," The red-coated echidna explained, "Rather than leaving it behind on the island."

Nearby, we can see Doctor Eggman plotting to steal the Master Emerald, with Scratch and Grounder getting ready to punce on it.

"Muahahahaha...that stupid echidna...he has no idea..." Dr. Eggman cackled evilly as he rubbed his hands together.

"When do we get him, boss?" Asked Scratch, who was holding a rather large net.

"I'm ready anytime, boss!" Grounder said, ready with some rope.

"Ahem!"

"W-who was that?" Scratch gulped, scratching his head with confusion.

For no reason at all, a herd of cattle ran into the three, knocking them into the river nearby.

Near the cattle pen, holding onto the open gate, was Blaze the Cat.

"Damn you, Blaze! DAMN YOU..." Scratch couldn't finish as Grounder fell on him, causing both robots to drown.

Blaze smirked as she watched Eggman drown with his two dumb bots. "Hmph...that takes care of them," She giggled, "Purrfect."

Suddenly, Mr. Game-and-Watch, popping out of nowhere, got a splendid idea. "I know! Let's make crappy puns throughout the rest of the chapter! No one would seem to mind!"

"Mewtwo probably minds," Roy snickered, being blasted by a Shadow Ball from an angered Mewtwo.

Knuckles set the Master Emerald down, as it began to glow. As the emerald glowed, a form began to emerge from it; a form a female echidna.

Knuckles turned to look. "Oh, evening, Tikal."

"And just who is this, Knux?" Popo asked while he watched Mewtwo chase Roy around the place.

"This is Tikal, the spirit of the Master Emerald," Knuckles introduced the cute echidna girl.

"Hi everyone." Tikal smiled and curtseyed.

"Hi," Everyone replied, except for Roy, who had to be rescued by Marth from Mewtwo.

"Damn it, Roy, didn't I tell you not to call anyone names?" Marth sighed as he shook his head.

Roy moaned in pain, being blasted to a crisp. "I'll keep that... in mind." He chuckled a bit, before moaning, recieving a glare from Mewtwo.

"...So... how long has she been in there, Knux?" Toon Link asked as he rubbed the back of his head.

"For many years," Knuckles said, "The Master Emerald is kind of like her spiritual home, now."

"Hey look, the cows are coming back!" Toadette cried as she pointed at the incoming cattle.

Suddenly a gust of wind whipped up, blowing up Tikal's skirt, and flashing green panties.

The cattle ran everyone except Tikal over, squashing them like they were road kill.

"...pain..." Was all Toon Link muttered, being rendered back into 2D.

Back inside the McDonald's, Yoshi, Mario, Luigi, and Sonic are having a hard time finding the hotdogs, whereas the customers grow impatient.

"If I knew that this was gonna cause an uproar, I would have solved this problem hours ago!" Yoshi groaned as he moved several appliances, being hit by a frying pan and falling on the floor.

Mario opened the counters to see if the hotdogs were hiding under, but was greated with an unpleasant surprise as water gushed out, pushing the plumber back into the wall and soaking him completely. He tried pushing back the water, but ended up being gushed back into the wall again.

"Whoa!" Sonic exclaimed, seeing all that water gushing out.

Yoshi moaned in pain as he noticed Luigi was being entangled in the spaghetti. He tried calling out to Luigi, but another frying pan fell on his head, knocking him out unconscious.

"Mamma Mia!! Too much of Lotsa Spaghetti!!" Luigi struggled as he was tied up in the spaghetti.

The people waiting behind the counters were starting to complain, and Mario tried getting back up, but was blasted by more water. This caused Sonic to try and calm the people down.

"Guys! Guys! We're trying to handle the situation here!" Sonic shouted back at the people as he did his best to please then, knowing that it wasn't going as he initally wanted.
