Somewhere in VG Central was a studio. In this stage was a small stage. The main part was a flat, gray square of platform, with a couple of steps leading to the back part of the stage, where four chairs and two small tables were set. A large piano was set to the side, a brown desk was sitting on the side of the stage and there was a large set of bleachers around the large room, cheering fans in each seat. Some music started up, meaning that the show was starting.
"Good evening, everybody! And welcome to 'Whose Line is it, Anyway?'!" Someone said from the bleachers. "On tonight's show…" The camera panning around the bleachers focused on the four chairs on the stage, where four distinctive figures were sitting.
"Everyone's favourite lanky plumber, Waluigi!" The tall, skinny, purple-clad plumber smirked and nodded once.
"Everyone's favourite hybrid, Dingodile!" The large dingo-crocodile hybrid gave a toothy smile.
"Everyone's favourite nobody, Demyx!" The young-looking man chuckled and rubbed the back of his tall hair.
"And…Uh…Um…Skidd McMarxx!" The turquoise alien struck a thoughtful position and stroked his goatee.
The camera focused on the fans, where a tall man with blonde hair was seen with a microphone.
"And I'm your host, SSBFreak!" The man said. "Come on! Let's go have some fun!"
SSBFreak walked down the steps, walked across the floor and went over to the desk on the stage. After he sat down behind the desk, the cheering and clapping quieted down.
"Hello, and welcome to 'Whose Line is it, Anyway?', the show where's everything's made up and the points don't matter." SSBFreak said. "That's right, the points don't matter, just like extra lives in a point-and-click adventure game." This crack earned a laugh from the crowd and the four performers. "Completely useless. If you're not familiar with this show, these four guys are going to come up on the stage and make up stuff based on what's on these cards and suggestions from the audience right off the top of their heads. And at the end of each game, I award points." SSBFreak gave a shrug. "Dunno why. They don't matter." This earned another laugh from the crowd. "Let's start off with a game called 'Superheroes'. This is for all four of you."
All four performers stood up and stepped down the couple of steps leading to the lower platform. Waluigi stood in the middle of the platform while the others stood just off to the side, beside SSBFreak's desk.
"Waluigi's going to be an unlikely superhero, and one by one, the others will join him and they'll name each other as they come in with hopes of screwing each other up." SSBFreak said as he turned towards the audience. "What I need from the audience is the name of an unlikely superhero."
Several members of the audience started shouting out suggestions at different times.
"Flabby!"
"Runaway Man!"
"Captain Tapdance!"
"Large Feet Man!"
"Large Feet Man, that's a good one." SSBFreak said.
"Are you saying something?" Waluigi asked suspiciously, earning a laugh from the crowd.
"Now what we need is a crisis for Large Feet Man." SSBFreak said.
"The world's going to end!" Someone shouted quickly.
SSBFreak chuckled. "Okay. That's a good one." With that, SSBFreak looked at Waluigi. "Large Feet Man, the world's going to end! What're ya going to do?!"
Waluigi took big steps around, making it look like he was struggling to do it. "Why the heck did I chose to be a superhero?! I can barely walk with these huge feet!" After earning a laugh from the crowd, Waluigi took a step forward. "Well, it's that time again, so I guess I should check the Crisis Monitor."
Waluigi turned his hands a couple of times and took a step back with a shocked look on his face. "Great toes of titanic proportions! The world's going to end! And here I was thinking those supervillains couldn't get more cliché…" The audience gave a loud laugh. "I sure hope my super-friends get here soon. I don't know if I'll get there in time if I walk…"
"Sorry I'm late, dude." Skidd said as he stepped onto the platform, joining Waluigi. He the made a pained expression. "Ouch! You're standing on my foot!"
"Oh. Sorry." Waluigi, standing three feet away, lifted his foot into the air and Skidd 'freed himself'. "Thank goodness you're here…Randomly-Gives-People-Headbutts-Man."
Skidd promptly stepped up to Waluigi and swung his head, pretending to give him a headbutt. Waluigi stepped back, holding his head, but quickly recovered.
"Look at the Crisis Monitor! The world's going to end!" Waluigi pointed out.
Skidd looked ahead, then thrust his head forward, giving the impression that he was headbutting the Crisis Monitor.
"Hey! I paid good money for that!" Waluigi said.
"Well, this is definitely a problem, man." Skidd said. "I think we're gonna need to wait for the next hero to show up."
"I hurried over as quickly as I could!" Demyx said, jumping onto the platform.
"Look, bro! It's Captain Sugar-Rush!" Skidd pointed out.
Demyx quickly nodded. "Yeah-yeah-yeah-it's-me-so-what-seems-to-be-the-problem?" He asked amazingly quickly as he started zipping around the platform. Skidd tried to headbutt him several times, but intentionally missed to make it look like Demyx was avoiding his attacks.
"The world's going to end!" Waluigi replied as he pointed forward. "What're we going to do about it?!"
"I-don't-know-maybe-I-can-run-around-the-world-a-couple-of-times-and-rewind-time-so-we-can-figure-out-how-to-stop-it-from-happening?" Demyx said as he ran circles around Waluigi before pretending to trip on Waluigi's oversized foot. Demyx fell to the ground and tumbled down the stairs leading to the ground level. The crowd was laughing wildly by now.
Dingodile strode onto the scene. "Ah came as quickly as Ah could." He said in a bold superhero manner.
Demyx quickly got to his feet and leapt onto the stage again. "Aggressive-Boxing-Man-what-in-the-name-of-the-great-ice-cream-salesman-are-you-doing-here?" He asked rapidly.
Dingodile 'punched' Demyx in the face, making him fall onto his back. Dingodile stepped towards Skidd and attempted to do the same to him, but Skidd shoved his head forward at the same time. This gave the impression that they had attacked each other at the same time. Both alien and hybrid staggered around, holding their respective heads.
As Demyx got back to his feet and started running around again, Dingodile walked towards Waluigi. "What's the problem?" He asked gruffly.
"The world's going to end! We need a way to stop it!" Waluigi pointed out as he lifted one of his legs so he could turn and face Dingodile with his big feet.
Once Waluigi lifted his foot, Dingodile snapped his head back and held his eye, making it look like Waluigi had just struck him in the face with his foot. "Oy! That hurt, mate!"
"Sorry about that. You know I can't really help that." Waluigi shrugged. "Well, what do you think we should do?"
"Ah know the guy that's doin' this!" Dingodile replied. "Ah'll just go over to his place and beat the tar outta him until I get him ta stop this."
Demyx, in the meantime, was wildly running around Dingodile. Feigning that he had had enough, Dingodile grabbed Demyx in a headlock and started 'punching' him in the face several times. The crowd laughed at the scene, and after about seven punches, Dingodile dropped Demyx. "Ah gotta go."
Dingodile turned and stalked off the stage, giving Skidd a punch to the face on the way out.
Demyx got to his feet and looked at Waluigi. "I-gotta-go-too-the-candy-store-closes-in-fifteen-minutes." He said as he turned and ran off the stage.
Skidd watched Demyx go, then turned to Waluigi. "Well, I'm gonna go find a mirror and start headbutting myself, man." He said as he turned and walked off the stage as well.
Once he was alone, Waluigi turned to face the crowd. "Another crisis averted! Now I can go take my ballet lessons!"
SSBFreak hit the buzzer on his desk a few times, signaling the game's end. The audience cheered as all four performers returned to their seats.
"A thousand points to Demyx." SSBFreak said. "I had no idea you could talk that fast."
"Oh, yeah." Demyx nodded simply.
Skidd chuckled as he took a sip of water from the small table in between him and Demyx. "Rev Runner's got nothing on this guy." He said.
"Demyx, the motor-mouthed nobody." Waluigi chuckled. "He'd make a killing as an auctioneer."
SSBFreak chuckled as he read his next card. "Okay. This next game is called 'Questions Only'. This is for everybody." The audience clapped as the four performers stood up and walked down to the main platform. Dingodile and Waluigi stayed on the platform while Skidd and Demyx stood just off the platform.
"Here's how it works. These guys are going to act out a scene, but the catch is that they can only speak in questions. If they screw up or take too long, I buzz that person out and the guy behind them takes their place." SSBFreak said as he looked at his card again. "Okay, here's your scene. You're in a bowling alley."
"A bowling alley?" Dingodile asked.
"A bowling alley." SSBFreak nodded.
"Hey, you screwed up, SSBFreak!" Skidd said. "Can I take your place at the desk?"
The audience laughed as SSBFreak cast a glance at Skidd. "Okay, you guys can start whenever you're ready." He said.
"Ready to go bowling?" Waluigi asked Dingodile.
"What do ya think?" Dingodile chuckled.
"You actually think that you can beat me, eh?" Waluigi asked with a smirk.
"What makes you so sure you can beat ME?" Dingodile countered.
"Haven't you ever seen me play before?"
"SHOULD Ah have?"
Waluigi was silent for a few seconds, trying to come up with a response. When he couldn't reply, SSBFreak buzzed him out. Waluigi laughed as he walked off to the side and took Skidd's place. Said Rilgarian walked onto the platform to join Dingodile.
"Dude, did you see that awesome strike I got?!" Skidd asked excitedly.
Dingodile raised an eyebrow. "Didn't ya just chuck that ball across two lanes to get it, though?" He asked. The audience laughed.
"Do I look like the kind of guy that would do that?" Skidd asked innocently.
"Don't ya realize that it was MAH pins ya knocked down, mate?" The audience laughed again.
"Shouldn't you be thanking me, then?"
"Fer what?!"
"Dude, don't you see that I helped you get that strike?"
"Don't ya think that Ah'd like ta get those strikes on mah OWN, though?!"
"Why would ya wanna do that, man?"
Dingodile stuttered for a few seconds, but was unable to find a response. After SSBFreak buzzed him out, Dingodile walked off the platform as Demyx got on to join Skidd.
"Can I help you, sir?" Demyx asked as if he was someone behind the counter.
"Can I get two chocolate bars and a large pop?" Skidd asked.
"Will that be everything?"
"Do I have enough for anything else?" Skidd asked, showing his hand to Demyx.
"Are you aware that you're holding two bottle caps and three buttons in your hand?"
"I am?"
"Don't you see that you're trying to rip us off, sir?"
"But why would I wanna rip you off, bro?"
"Isn't it obvious that you've already tried to purchase those shoes you're wearing with four washers and a rubber band?"
Skidd couldn't take any more. He started laughing and thus took too long to answer. SSBFreak buzzed him out as Waluigi came back onto the scene.
"Can I rent a pair of shoes?" Waluigi asked.
"What size would you like, sir?" Demyx asked.
"You have any size tens?"
Demyx chuckled and looked at Waluigi's feet. "You expect me to believe that those will fit you?" He asked. The audience started laughing.
Waluigi narrowed his eyes. "Are you saying something about the size of my feet?!"
"Isn't it obvious?"
"You wanna say that again?!"
"Do I look like the type of person that likes to repeat myself?"
"Can I see the manager?"
"Would you believe me if I told you that I WAS the manager?" Demyx got the audience laughing with that.
"Why do I find that hard to believe?"
"Because you're not a trusting person?"
"But that would-" Waluigi said before realizing his error. "Ah, crap." He said as he turned and left the platform. Skidd stepped up again.
"You again?" Demyx asked. The audience laughed and cheered for a few seconds. This gave Skidd enough time to come up with a reply.
"What do you mean, man?" Skidd asked.
"Weren't you just here a second ago?" Demyx countered.
"Couldn't you see that I just walked through the front door?"
"But didn't I have you thrown out?"
"Why would you do something like that?"
"Don't you remember?"
"Should I, man?"
"Are you suffering from memory loss or something?"
"What are you saying?"
Demyx tried to come up with something, but found himself unable to do so and ended up getting buzzed out. However, SSBFreak hit the buzzer a couple of times, meaning that the game was over.
"Alright, that was good!" SSBFreak said as the performers returned to their seats. "Hey! We're going to take a commercial break and come right back! Don't go away!"
