At the mansion, Smart Chang stood before the legion of Terry Bogards from various potential futures along with the usual suspects. He held up his trademark iron ball and swung it around.
"It's do or die time everybody! Goenitz's army will be here any minute and we have to take them down, get to Goenitz's hideout and destroy him once and for all! Are you with me!"
"Okay!!"
"I said, are you with me!?"
"OKAY!!"
"Now let's go kick their--" Smart Chang heard a knock at the door. "I wonder who that could be. Choi, can you get that?"
"Cool."
Cool Choi went to the front door, looking through the peephole to see if Goenitz's army was five minutes early. Instead he saw the silhouette of one man's head.
"Mis-ter Bounge, I take it?" the man said.
"Yeah, that's me. Who are you?"
"That is not important right now. I wish to speak with Mis-ter Kap-hwan if I may."
Cool Choi shrugged. "He's been gone for a while on some big important mission. He won't be back for a few days."
"Very well. I want you to give him something for me." The man slipped an envelope through the mail slot.
"What is it?" Choi asked.
"It's a present for Mis-ter Kap-hwan. For setting me free."
"If you say so. But there are some evil soldiers on there way and they should be here any minute. So if you would get out of here, that would be really cool."
"An army you say?"
"Pretty much."
"Hm. Relax, Mis-ter Bounge. You and your friends should find that this army never makes it to your house. Farewell."
"Oh. That's pretty nice of you. But one thing, 'Bounge' isn't one syllable. It's Korean, meaning there are two syllables. Got it?"
"I see, Mis-ter Bo-unge. Is that better?"
"...I have no idea."
As the mysterious man left, Cool Choi used a finger blade as a letter opener to see what Kim's "present" was. He found a glowing red button with a black X over it, bordered by a shadowy, gray circle.
Dr. Goenitz held his pinky to his lip. "Soon those fools from Team Korea will fall to my invincible army and then me and my Chang Koehan robot will rule the world! Muahahahahaha! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"What about bringing back ze Orochi, sir?" Shermie asked.
"That too! MUAHAHAHAHA!" Goenitz continued laughing at his plan for a few seconds more until coming to a realization. His laughter slowly died down. "Oh God..."
Yashiro assured him, "Sir, it's okay. The plan is foolproof."
Goenitz dropped his accent. "No, it's not that. It's just... God, is this really what we want to do?"
"You mean resurrect Orochi?" Yashiro asked. "Of course we do."
"That's not what I'm talking about. I'm all up for resurrecting Orochi. It's just... well, this!" He stretched his arms out to illustrate he meant the hideout. "Look at us! Look at who we're trying to be!"
Shermie leaned forward, "Well you did zay you liked zee movie, sir."
Goenitz rubbed his temple. "Shermie, drop the accent. Listen, yeah, I thought the first one was funny. Hell, the second one wasn't too horrible as long as you rent it instead of shelling nine bucks to see it in theaters. But it got real old by the third one. They weren't even trying."
"Dr. Goenitz," Yashiro said, "we really should talk about--"
"I'm Goenitz, damn it! Not 'Dr. Goenitz'! Jeez, do you know what would happen if we keep doing this, people? Soon we'll find out some nonsense about me being Kim Kaphwan's brother and eventually Chris will become the main villain around here. Can you really allow that? Can you really have that on your conscious? God, that would be even worse than the freaking dog. Hell, it would be even worse than that awful lesbian faction."
"Whoa!" Shermie said. "Let's not say anything we can't take back."
"Okay, okay, but still. I say we need to drop this act and move on. Find some other way to resurrect Orochi. Man, remember when I was just an evil guy who wanted to serve Orochi? I didn't need a gimmick then and I thought I carried myself pretty well."
"It's too late to go back to that," Shermie told him.
"I suppose you're right. But what if we...? No, that wouldn't work. But what if...? Nah. Maybe we should just take a break and..." Goenitz snapped his fingers. "Wait! Yes! I got it! Yes, I have an idea! Quick, you two come with me! I have an idea, but it only involves you two. We're going to have to drop Chris for this."
"What about him?" Yashiro pointed at Sinobu, who pouted at his master.
"Oh, right. Listen, Sinobu. You know you're really special to me and all, but I need to leave. I tell you what, though. Once that Howling Blood game actually makes it to North America, you give me a call, okay?" He patted Sinobu on the head. "I'll talk to you later, buddy."
The three Heavenly Kings left the underground area, leaving Sinobu alone.
Just then, the wall collapsed, revealing Earthquake. He set his sights on Sinobu.
"Get in mah belly!"

Ash Ketchum pumped his fist in the air. "Yeah! I love Pokemon! I am going to be the greatest Pokemon player ever one day!"
Sie Kensou appeared, holding a Poke-ball in his right hand. "Care for a challenge, then?"
"A challenge? Of course I would care for a challenge for I am to be the best Pokemon player of all, oho!"
Sie grinned. "Let's go then."
Ash tossed his Poke-ball in Sie's direction. "I choose you, Pikachu!"
A yellow rodent popped out of the ball, smiling and clapping its paws. "Pika! Pika! Pikachu!"
Sie thought about how to counter. "Hm. This should be tough. Then again, I only have one Poke-ball, so I don't have much of a choice, do I?" He wound up his throwing arm and tossed the ball near Pikachu. "Okay, then! I choose you, Wendigo!"
"Wendigo?!" Ash asked, confused.
"Pika?"
The Poke-ball exploded, revealing a seven-foot tall, white-furred, lion-like monster. He stared down at Pikachu.
"WENDIGO!!"
"PIKA--AH!"
Wendigo picked Pikachu off the ground and bit into his stomach. To Ash's horror, Wendigo tore out most of Pikachu's insides with his jaws, chewed on them and swallowed. He follwed it up by biting off the Pokemon's head. Then he tossed the remains of the carcass aside and stalked over to the terrified Ash.
"WENDIGO!!"
Sie wiped a tear from his cheek. "I love this game."
