Quatre: And this, Soujiro, is why we do not put metal in the microwave.

Soujiro: Ha ha ha! Gomen, gomen, I'm just new to this technology stuff!

Quatre: Thanks to your spending sprees, you shorted out the computors at the bank, so we don't have any cash.

Okita: Not true. I have at least five hundred yen in my pocket.

Yukito: (But that's only five dollars here.)

Eriol: (Shhhh...)

Quatre: Plus, there's a one hundred dollar fee to get my credit card working again.

Okita: I got it! This will solve our problems!

*Okita runs up dragging a tall blond man in a red coat*

Vash: Why does everyone pick on me?

Quatre: Okita, let him go.

Okita: Awwww.... but that means we're eating at McDonalds AGAIN...

Billy: Don't look so downcast! We'll manage something.

Soujiro: Yeah, our mailbox is intact, so cheer up!

Quatre: Yeah, the mail's really going to fix everything...

*A note falls out of the mailbox*

Soujiro: Ara?

Okita: "King of Fighters 2001 tournament?"

Billy: Free passage, food, and hotel reservations.

Yukito: Hey, there's a prize for the winners.

Eriol: Look at all those zeros....

Quatre: King of Fighters? I've heard of that... isn't that the tournament that's ALWAYS a front for some incredibaly evil scheme?

Okita: You're the one who let the sixty billion dollar man run away.

Quatre: But-

Yukito: And if there's really an evil scheme, we should stop it, right?

Quatre: But-

Soujiro: Let's go!

Quatre: Are you listening? We... hey, wait!

****

Yahiko: You're the last person I'd expect to volenteer for a fighting tournament.

Kenshin: Sano is a very persuasive person.

Sano: Quit lagging back there! You're going to help me out my debt!

Kenshin: And Karou-dono was quite right about our lack of money.

Yahiko: When you put it that way... although I doubt there will be enough money left after we pay off the chickenhead's debt to make a difference.

Sano: What did you say?

Saitoh: What are you idiots arguing about now?

Sano: SAITOH! What are you doing here?!

Saitoh: I was invited, idiot. This is perfect chance to uphold my motto of "Aku, soku, zan."

Kenshin: (He's broke too.)

Saitoh: (Feh.)

*Yahiko, staring at Saitoh, runs into someone*

Yahiko: Watch it, you... Wahh!

Aoshi: Nice to see you came too, Battousai.

Kenshin: Aoshi. Why are you here?

Misao: The damage Fuji did to the Aoiya left us broke too.

Kenshin: Not all of those bottles of sake that were sent to Shishou?

Hiko: I happen to think the money went to a very good cause... baka deshi.

Kenshin: SHISHOU?!

Yahiko: Y'know, maybe being broke isn't THAT bad...

****

Loudspeaker: Attention. Flight 9413 to Tokyo is now boarding.

Quatre: That's us.

Okita: Wow! Off to Japan.. BACK to Japan... hey, where's Tokyo?

Soujiro: Wait! I want to get some snacks for us!

Quatre: Hurry up! We don't want any more problems.

Billy: (I still can't believe you got them to store your Gundam on the plane.)

Quatre: (They made me put poor Sandrock in oversized baggage...)

Eriol: Hey, isn't that a friend of yours?

Quatre: Heero!

Heero: Hn.

Quatre: What are you doing here?

Heero: When the pilot heard who was onboard, he ran off screaming. I've been called in as replacement.

Quatre: You're... driving...

Heero: Someone else volunteered to navagate... a certain "Sanosuke Sagura."

Quatre: Sano's... navagating...

*Quatre turns to stone and falls over*

Heero: I gotta go.

Billy: Wah! Soujiro, come quick! Something's wrong with Quatre!

Soujiro: What happened?

Billy: I don't know, but he's curled up and wimpering.

Soujiro: Oh, that's okay! I lost my ticket, so it will be easier to put him in one of those overhead compartments this way!

Quatre: WAAAAAAGH!

Billy: Soujiro!

Soujiro: Just kidding! Just kidding! Let's go!

Quatre: It's only twelve hours... eh heh heh heh...

****

Washu: Hah! My plan is working perfectly! With the Okita clones fighting against all these powerful people, I'll be able to analyze their weaknesses and capture them easily!

*Washu starts up her laptop*

Washu: And I hardly had to do any work! Everyone is so broke, they practically jumped into the contest! This will be a snap! I just have to-

****

Kenshin: I can not believe we are doing this.

Quatre: The feeling's mutual. But at least I won't be compeating.

Kenshin: Oro?

Quatre: Gundams aren't allowed. And I'm NOT fencing. Hey are you still on the first page?

Kenshin: Filling out these forms is a little akward.

Sano: Occupation?

Yahiko: Yours would be "freeloader."

Sano: OI!

Quatre: You don't even want to know how Hiko's doing with this.

Hiko: These spaces are too small! I ran out of room before I even got to "super genius extrodinare."

Kenshin: Please don't tell me Shishou is still filling out his name.

Quatre: I won't then. Speaking of names... hey Eriol, how do you spell your last name?

*Eriol is playing at a UFO catcher. Kenshin and Quatre facefault*

Misao: Waiiiii! There's an Aoshi-sama doll!

Aoshi: Na... Nani?

Eriol: I'll get it for you!

Misao: Kawaii! Thank you so much! Aoshi-sama....

*Misao floats off*

Aoshi: Let me see that.

*Aoshi runs after her*

Okita: Here's some more quaters!

Eriol: Thanks!

Quatre: Okita, where did you get those?

Kenshin: Please don't say you robbed a vending machine.

Okita: No! I sold autographs! Saitoh-san and I seem to be quite popular here for some reason!

Saitoh: (Okita-kun! Get them off of me!)

Fangirls: (Wai! Saitoh-san!)

Kenshin: Shishou, Saitoh, and the entire Okita-tachi. The crowd here certainly can't get more chaotic then this.

Sephiroth: Excuse me, is this the King of Fighters tournament?

*Kenshin smacks himself*

Zechs: You again? Get lost!

Kenshin: (Here we go...)

Setzer: Is this a bad time?

Quatre: Not again... please stop fighting!

Sephy, Zechs, & Setzer: He started it!

Alucard: Not my problem.

Setzer: Why you...

Quatre (with a megaphone): Will all innocent bystanders leave the premises.

****

*The day of the contest arrives*

Quatre: DOWN, SUN! DOWN!

Soujiro: Good morning! Time to go!

Quatre: Waah...

*Soujiro drags Quatre off to an overcrowded arena with several familiar figures at the announcer's desk*

Soujiro: Good morning, Squall-san and Selphie-san!

Quatre: What are you doing here?

Squall: Announcing.

Quatre: You're not in the contest?

Squall: We're fully employed. Why would we be?

Loudspeaker: Will all contestents please report to their assigned waiting room.

Soujiro: That's us! Let's go!

Quatre: Leave me here....

Soujiro: But you have to cheer us on.

Quatre: Why me...

****

Selphie: Good morning, and welcome to the King of Fighter's tournament 2001! Woohoo! Squall and I are your announcers for the day! Squall, would you care to tell our listeners about the first match?

Squall: No.

Selphie: Alright then! Our first match is Soujiro Seta-

Squall: (At least it will be quick...)

Selphie: -vs. Hibiki Takane!

*Hibiki walks out. Everyone does a double take. Washu drops her laptop*

Washu: No way!

*Squall jumps back into his seat*

Squall: This just got a whole lot more interesting, folks!

*Irvine runs in*

Irvine: We'll be taking bets at the announcer's booth.

Selphie: Irvine!

Setzer: Hey, five hundred on the girl!

Soujiro: Heeeeh?

Hibiki: You look like me...

Soujiro: (But I don't have any mirror match quotes!)

Quatre: (Soujiro! Shhh!)

*Soujiro and Hibiki both launch into an attack and come away without a scratch*

Washu: Alright! So much data!

*the laptop starts fizzing uncontrollably*

Washu: AAGH! Not now! My data!

*Eagle Vision walks by, leans over, and hits a few keys on the laptop.*

Eagle: There you go, miss.

Washu: Why, thank you!

*Washu goes back to typing, then pauses*

Washu: .....Naah.

Kenshin: They're evenly matched. A fight like this could last forever.

Soujiro: Shun Ten Satsu!

Hibiki: No Fear Feint!

*Soujiro's sword breaks*

Hibiki: I win.

Soujiro: Ah ha ha ha ha ha!

Kenshin: That was an familiar conclusion.

Hibiki: My father was a sword maker.

Soujiro: That explains it.

*Kenshin turns to see Saitoh and Okita talking to two other Shinsengumi. Kenshin facefaults*

Kojiro: Don't let it get to you, Washizuka.

Washizuka: But still... I am the only Shinsengumi here who isn't a squad leader.

Okita: I'm sure we have openings.

*Saitoh lights a cigarett*

Saitoh: Let's see... I think Squad two is open...

Kenshin: Not two more of them...

***

Squall: For our next match we have Ichido Akari vs. Makamachi Misao.

Misao: Don't worry, Aoshi-sama! I'm sure to win!

Akari: Whatever.

Misao & Akari: EH?!

Akari: What are you doing here, paper doll?

Misao: What? You're obviously the clone!

Yuffie: What are you idiots talking about? You're both clones!

Akari: Shut up! I was born before both of you. That makes me the original.

Misao: But you're based off of me!

Yuffie: Who cares! FFVII was out before either of you!

*Sephiroth appears holding the black materia*

Sephiroth: Fools! Squabble amoung yourselves while you face annihilation!

Misao: Kan Satsu Tobi Kunai!

Akari: Demon Sabbath!

Yuffie: Leviathan!

*pain and suffering*

Sephiroth: Itai...

*Misao, Akari, and Yuffie all pose with thumbs up*

Misao: Goodo!

Yuffie: Goodo!

Akari: Goodo!

*Aoshi hides his face in his hands. Saitoh flips into Saitoh-vision (tm) where an army of weasles storm the country side*

Sephie: Hey, that's cool!

Squall: Dear God...

****

Squall: Alucard vs. Setzer.

Selphie: Woohoo!

Setzer: I've always liked duels.

Alucard: ...You can not win.

Setzer: We'll see about that. Eat dice!

*Alucard puts up a shield*

Setzer: Uh... Fire 3!

*Alucard dissapears, re-appears, then shoots two balls of fire. The Fire 3 has no effect.*

Setzer: What?! Stupid invulnerablity!

Alucard: I warned you.

****

Squall: Yawn...

Selphie: Um.... next is Hiko vs. Eriol.

Squall: That kid? I'm going to sleep.

Hiko: This is my opponent?

Okita: Go, Eriol!

Yukito: You can do it!

Hiko: I hate roughing up kids, but....

*Hiko flips his sword over*

Eriol: Sheildo.

Hiko: Ryu Tsui Sen!

*Dink*

Hiko: Eh?

Eriol: Windi.

*A tornado carries Hiko out of the building*

Eriol: Sorry!

Squall: Note - all SEEDS must have a GF junctioned and magic stored at all times.

Selphie: Next we have Saitoh vs.... Usui?

Usui: NANI?!

*Saitoh smirks*

Quatre: (I can't believe I let Okita talk me into hacking the fighting schedual....)

****

Selphie: Our next fight is Aoshi vs. Zantetsu.

Squall: Another mirror match.

Zantetsu: Now I will prove I am the strongest.

Aoshi: I've heard that before.

Zantetsu: Now you will fall to my iron cutting-

Aoshi: Kaiten Kenpo Rokururen.

*Zentetsu dissapears in a bloody mess*

Aoshi: Oh well.

Kenshin: You said you'd try not to kill anyone!

Aoshi: I tried.

Selphie: Now, for the last match of the day, Lee vs. Ukyo.

*After a suprisingly long battle Ukyo stands victorious*

Ukyo: Cough... cough...

Okita: Oh dear.

Eagle: Ouch.

*Suddenly Orochi appears in a burst of blue flame*

Setzer: Silver hair.

Zechs: Not long.

*Orochi rips out Ukyo's soul and crushes it.*

Orochi: Hah! Now I will destroy you foolish humans for your stupidity!

Washu: Hey! I'm the shadowy force behind this tournament!

Saitoh: Ouch.

Quatre: Hey, it only knocked him out!

Kojiroh: Huh. Setsuna could do better.

Setsuna: Yeah, I can do better.

Orochi: Prove it, fancy boy.

*Setsuna jumps down and the duel begins*

Orochi: Hah!

*Orochi rips out Setsuna's "soul" and crushes it*

Setsuna: Heh. I have two life bars.

*Setsuna makes a mirror appear in front of Orochi. He then pulls out Orochis sould and crushes it. Orochi falls in a pool of blood.*

Setsuna: heh heh heh heh heh.

Setsuna: Now I'll open Hades Gate and destroy this world!!!

Kagami: Shut up!

Setsuna: But you were the one who started this mess!

Kagami: Changed my mind.

Setsuna: Try and stop me!

Kagami: Nage!

Setsuna: You missed.

*Several more fireballs fall from the sky. The floor is set on fire.*

Setsuna: Ha!

Hibiki: Otou-san, miskate!

Lee: EVIL SCUM! (Translated from Chinese)

Ukyo: Kisama...

Setsuna: Time to run.

Duo: Nice move, cape boy.

Kagami: Whatever. No problem.

Duo: The whole place is on fire! We may die!

Kagami: You may die mortal. But since I'm nice, there's an exit right over there.

Duo: That's a hole in the wall.

Kagami: You can thank me later.

*Kagami flys off*

Duo: (muttered curses)

***

Washu: Final status on KOF testing. New Okita clone identified. Eriol confirmed as most powerful clone. Enough data to reach phase two collected.

Washu: Status of participents. Two new Shinsengumi have joined. They may be a problem. New clone has unknown power level and a very sharp sword. Really old ninja psyco killed. No other casualties confirmed.

Washu: Ah well. That's enough for now. With Christmas coming up I'll have to take a break from data collection...

Washu: What am I talking about?!? Now is the perfect time to get data! I'll have to work even harder!

*Fin*
