This special chapter of "Aftermath: The DB Chronicles" was written in front of a live studio audience.
"Hey Ken. Earth to Ken." Ryu said, "Hey are you in there? It's your turn."
"Sorry Ryu." Ken replied, "Rocking this awesome hair makes it difficult to concentrate on combat training." A laugh track caused an eyebrow to raise, but it was quickly brought down by Dan's arm.
"I know what you mean, my hair is pretty crazy too. Im thinking about changing it.''
''By the way, my friend owns a super sweet dojo."
"Neay.''
"Ehy, badda bing."
"Sweet dojo? That sounds vague enough to be the shirai raiyu dojo. And since i'm a super big russian man who has won many competitions, I obviously have nothing better to do than to go check it out."
Later, ina new scene…
''Hey hanzo. Can we see your super awesome chocolatey-rare cool spear thing?''
"I dont see why not." hanzo replied. He pulled out hisspear thing, ''here it is,my spear thing.''
"Thats the lamest name 4 a move ive ever would want someting like that?'' Ken laffed.
"Im herefor your spear thing ninja, and i wont take no for an anser. Now give it to me- Okay, I'm not doing this."
"Cut! Cut! Cut!" Deadpool called out, "Zangief, what's the problem?"
"The problem is this stupid script. It's riddled with spelling errors, and the plot makes no sense!"
"Not to mention the inconsistent punctuation. Some of the speaking notes are actual quotation marks, and others are apostrophes. Where's the consistency?" Ryu complained.
"Not to mention that this all feels as if you were ripping off someone else's material, and basically only changed the names and a few pieces of dialogue to make it fit." Ace replied from his position on the lighting rail.
"Ace, I already told you, the crew doesn't talk. You're ruining my masterpiece!" Deadpool complained.
"I have a question." Hanzo raised his hand.
Deadpool sighed, "What is it?"
"Why do you use those boom mics? Wouldn't it be easier to hide the microphones in our clothing?" He said, pointing to Dante who was holding a boom mic, and eating a slice of pizza at the same time.
"This dialogue sounds like it's from something that my students would watch in between training sessions at my dojo." Dan pointed out.
"You had students?" Terry asked from behind a camera he was operating.
"Yes I have students!" Dan replied indignantly.
"What exactly is my character again?"
"You're here for fanservice, Cammy. And to have vague homoerotic subtext with Chun-Li that would make the male audience invested, and to get all those social justice warriors riled up when we don't give them the proper representation of LGBT relationships." Wade replied.
"You're queerbaiting? - Wait, aren't you pansexual?" Yang asked from behind another camera.
"Coming from the girl who couldn't name one gay couple at her high school dance!"
"Touché." She glared.
"Why are we doing this, anyways? Why can't we be like everyone else, and talk about our fights, and upcoming ones?" Chun-Li asked, in what would be assumed to be the fanservice outfit she was to be wearing in a later scene.
"Because even with Sub-Zero's spine rip, his strength isn't enough to beat Glacius." Deadpool stated, as if it were obvious.
"How much force does that take, anyways?" Cammy asked.
"It takes twenty-five hundred pounds of force to decapitate someone. At that point, Kuai Liang is simply showing off." Hanzo answered.
All eyes turned to the ninja who had the answer.
"What?"
"How did you know that?"
"I think the question we should be asking Dan, is 'how did he answer it so fast?'" Ken replied.
"I looked it up. I was just waiting for someone to ask that, so that I could answer." Hanzo said casually.
"You may want to clear your search history." Ryu advised.
"Look, we're getting off-topic here." the Merc With a Mouth complained, "Can we get back to finishing my masterpiece and then wrap up this discussion?"
"If this is a masterpiece, then the paint job I did on my arm is the Mona Lisa." Yang said sarcastically.
"Oh, why don't you just make out with your girlfriend?" Wade asked, pointing to Tifa, who was sitting with many other people (and one cyborg) in a bleacher-like sitting structure that overlooked the stage.
"I- We're not dating!" Yang stuttered.
"Wait until that kitty-cat of yours shows up. You'll be reenacting that scene from that Lady and the Tramp in under three chapters after she shows up." Wade commented.
"Why does he even need a live studio audience to begin with?" Sonya whispered to Tifa.
"I don't know. He just said something about 'convincing the author to fill the place with aphrodisiac' or something. I'm not exactly sure." Tifa whispered back.
"Well, if you ask me, this will probably end up in the 'so bad, it's good category' of writing." Raiden chimed in.
X: And this is what happens when I let Wade write part of a chapter.
Wade: You mean, it becomes incredibly hilarious, and a joy to read?
Alexis: Tweet tweet chirp tweet.
Wade: A failure? I'll have you know, that I was here way before you even had your first line!
Pinkie: When was she introduced, anyways?
X: She first showed up in chapter 28, had her first tweet right after.
Alexis: Tweet tweet chirp tweet tweet tweet chirp tweet.
X: I can't wait for Mister Fantastic to show up so we can use the universal translator to decode what Alexis is saying to the audience.
Wade: All she did was make the disclaimer. Plus, I think it's funny that the audience needs us to figure out what she's saying.
Pinkie: Translation jokes are hilarious!
