"Yang's in our room. She's upset because the upcoming fight is another in-franchise battle."
Cloud looked to his friend and sighed, "She was pessimistic about this before…"
Tifa raised an eyebrow, "How so?"
Cloud rubbed the back of his head, "She said something along the lines of 'bias accusations-"
Tifa cut him off, "Nevermind. I figured it out."
"So, you going to go comfort her or something?" Cloud asked.
Tifa pulled the ice pack away from her black eye, "Nah. I think I'll just let her brood for a while. She probably needs her space."
Cloud flinched at the bartender's shiner, "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea."
Meanwhile, Master Chief was talking with some of his friends, "So, who's your money on for this bout?" Dante asked.
"I'd have to side with Carolina for this one. The only time she actually lost to the Meta was after she had fought Agent Texas. That scenario is different that the one that is usually presented for these kinds of things."
"Well, do you think Boomstick will just jump in and interrupt Vic during the intro?" Deadpool asked.
"How should I know? I never met Vic in the first place!" Chief replied, still a little irritated about the time Wade stole his energy sword.
"Well, you don't need to meet him," Wade replied, "He's a computer program that had a glitch occur that screwed him up."
"Really?" Dante asked, "Must've missed that episode…"
"Oh yeah, it was in season fourteen. Check it out sometime, it's pretty good." Deadpool said.
"Huh. So, what characters showed up in there?"
"Well chief," Wilson started, "First off, I returned your sword, so you should let it go…"
"Wait, wha-?"
"And second, Funhaus made an appearance."
"Who?" Dante asked confusingly.
"Oh, they're a group of people who do some Let's Plays, and discuss games."
"So, basically what Achievement Hunter does, huh?" John asked rhetorically.
"Yep." Wade replied, "Privat Jimmy also made an appearance too."
"Oh," Dante realized, "What happened? I only had the time to see the first two episodes, so I'm a little lost."
Deadpool looked at the half-demon, "Are you sure you want to know?"
Dante and John-117 nodded.
"Are you really sure you want to know?"
The two nodded again.
"Are you sure you're sure you want to kno-"
"JUST TELL US ALREADY!" Dante yelled.
"Well…"
"Hey Beast."
Beast turned to Hawkeye, "Yeah?"
"Do you ever wonder why we're here?"
"That's a good question Clint." Hank started, "Many people strive to figure that out for their entire lives without ever finding an answer. Sometimes they try to figure out the meaning of life with little success. Nobody really does know why we are here. But I suppose that is the reason. We are trying to figure out why we're here. Perhaps we are here to find out as to why."
Clint stared at Hank for a long while, with a confused look on his face. He sighed, and facepalmed, "You ruined the joke. I was trying to make a reference, and you ruined it."
"Oh. My apologies." Beas replied, "Would you like to try again?"
"No thanks. If you didn't get the reference to begin with, then it's kinda pointless to try again." Clint sighed.
"Again, my apologies." Beast repeated, "But could you tell me where the reference is from?" He called to Clint, who was now walking away.
"Ask Yang!" Clint called over his shoulder.
"Why would she know why we're here?" Hank thought to himself out loud, "She doesn't seem like an intellectual…"
Deadpool: Wow. Churned this one out pretty fast, huh?
Yep. I saw the fight live, and I got excited. I'm personally going to do another Goku and Superman chapter until the battle comes out.
Deadpool: That's cool, but don't you think you should have mentioned that you saw the battle on Twitch last chapter?
… Oh, crapbaskets…
Deadpool: Speaking of phrases that are from someone else, X here doesn't own diddly squat in this fic. Me? I personally enjoyed scaring Chief and Dante.
