Yang was walking along the hotel. She had finally gotten the dye out of her hair, and she was on her way to the gym to use the new monster generator that was ordered.
See, the 'monster generator', or MG, could recreate any monster or minion from any series that had a representative at the establishment. While all Pokemon were out of the question, the machine could actually create clones of other minions. This meant that Scorpion and Raiden could practice on Tarkatans on the off-chance that Baraka were to return to Kombat.
And after Bowser had shown up, they had goombas and koopas removed from the roster. The two that had battled had moved over to the hero hotel to get away from the abuse they suffered at the villain hotel.
Not that that has anything to do with the story, that's just some exposition.
Yang had entered the gym when she saw Shadow messing with the machine.
"What are you doing?"
Shadow looked up at the blonde, "I'm trying to hack this thing so I can practice against psychic pokemon." He stated as if it were obvious.
Yang rolled her eyes, "You are aware that pokemon can't be utilized in that thing, right?"
"That's why I'm trying to hack it."
"You do know that the machine was specifically designed so that you can't use pokemon or digimon as practice dummies, right?"
Shadow sighed, "It's just… There's a lot riding on me to win this. The last time one of my home company's fighters went in, she lost."
"And fanboys raged." Yang pointed out.
"Yeah. I'm sure you know all about that." He snarked back.
Yang rolled hers right back, "Hey, you have the edge in speed. And while Mewtwo can teleport, it doesn't equate to speed in the slightest." She offered.
"The fanboys say otherwise."
"Considering one of the assholes who wants me to die a horrible painful death didn't even bother watching Ratchet and Clank's fight with Jak and Daxter, and ultimately decided that they 'sold out' for their victory, that might end up being true." Yang sighed.
"Wait," Shadow realized, "That actually happened?"
"Yep." Yang replied, popping the 'p'.
"Whoever that person is, he's an asshole."
"Yep." Yang replied in the same way as before.
"I'll take a stab and say that he also included a 'pillar feat' for them?"
"Yep."
"Wait, didn't Flash get smashed through one?"
"Ye- Wait, what?" Yang asked, confused by Shadow's question.
"Yeah, he got smashed through a tree. And what is a tree, but a wooden pillar?" He asked rather poetically ,for the hedgehog clone.
Yang was about to rebuttal before she paused and thought for a moment, "Holy crap you're right!"
"Uh huh."
"So, Me, and Ratchet get a 'pillar feat' and it's a crime against humanity, but when Flash gets it, nobody bats an eye?"
"Apparently." Shadow nodded.
"Ugh! These freaking fanboys are so hard to please sometimes." She growled.
"Tell me about it." Shadow deadpanned.
"So are you going to help me hack this thing or not?"
"I was hoping to fight a couple of tarkatans, so… No. Yang deadpanned
Tifa looked at the screen in front of her, "Looks like they're using movie Mewtwo."
Rogue nodded, "Yeah. Ah bet the fans won't be too happy 'bout how Shads is prob'ly goin' ta die."
"Yep," Tifa agreed, "Enough power to lift an island, I'd say that or hedgehog friend has his work cut out for him."
"Speaking of, where is Shads, anyway?"
"I don't know," Tifa shrugged, "He said something about needing a toolbox but didn't say much else about it."
"I guess. He still has his super forms though, that should give him an edge in the fight." Rogue pointed out.
"Yeah, I guess so. Unless Mewtwo is allowed to use psych up."
"Wait," Rogue asked, "Can psych up even copy that boost?"
"I actually don't know. Probably?" Tifa offered. "Maybe?"
"You have no idea, do you?"
"Coming from the girl who let Wonder Woman take over her body for three months."
"She has a life force, ergo, I can absorb her." Rogue rebuttled, "I still beat her physical body anyways."
"Just not her mental power…" Tifa sang.
"You fight in close quarters," Rogue pointed out, "I can still kick your ass."
Vegeta was scarfing down a seventy course meal, discussing the combatants with the other big eaters, "All I'm saying, is that," He swallowed his beef jerky, "Is that the Freeza look-alike has all that psychic power. If it really wanted to, it could just make the short one brain dead."
Kirby was too busy inhaling ham, noodles, steak, and pizza to care. But Bowser was still on his thirtieth leg of ham, "Maybe," He said while tearing off some of the meat, "But Shadow has speed. And trust me when I say, that a jack of all stats is someone who specializes in nothing."
"Bah!" Vegeta replied, eating a slice of pizza that Kirby had somehow missed, "You only say that because that plumber friend of yours got his assed kicked by that stupid blue hedgehog."
Kirby, being unable to speak a language that other people could understand, started waving his little stubby arms at the other two, while making the usual noises that he makes.
Both Vegeta and Bowser stared at the pink puffball for a solid ten seconds until Vegeta spoke up, "You do realize we have absolutely no idea what you're saying." He replied.
"Like, at all." Bowser added.
Kirby simply huffed, and went back to eating.
Well, that went pretty well.
Alexis: Tweet tweet.
Deadpool: Yep. It sure did.
Wade.
Deadpool: Yeah?
Why is there a line about 'exposition' at the top of the page?
Deadpool: I don't know. Why did you mention someone from blondie's hate group?
Touche.
Deadpool: Also, Granny Boomstick called, she wants you to do the disclaimer.
I got the message too Wade. How that broad got my number, I'll never know. Ahem: All characters belong to their respective franchises.
