CRONIES
(Transcending History and the World, a tale must be told... a tale of hilarity, hedgehogs, action, egg-shaped men, laziness, cursing, an under-lying plot, crossovers, and absurd battles for the sake of comedic timing and greatness! This is the tale of... The Cronies...)
(Archives of the Past, return to this present day, so that future generations may learn how to love, and laugh, and poke fun once more!! To present yourself in your true form, unlike the mandatory prose that some like Fan-f'ing-fiction.net would impose on you!

20:59 International Cronies Time (ICT)
"THE STREETS"
[Walking the streetlight-lit streets of Station Square, walks none other than the dubbed anime Yami Yugi (henceforth known as 'Anime Yugi'), and Tea (the dubbed name for Anzu), as she holds onto his arm like the LACKEY THAT SHE IS.]
ANIME YUGI
Hahaha, I talk a lot as I duel!
TEA
Wow, you are sure awesome, Yugi! Take me now!
ANIME YUGI
Mmm... no! I'm... tired...
[ANOTHER Yugi-looking figure, with another Tea-looking figure hanging off of his arm, walk up to Anime Yugi. The Yugi-look-alike is actually the much, much scarier Yami Yugi from the beginning of the manga! With a gaze that makes small children cry with a single glance, he shall henceforth known as Manga Yugi. The girl is the real Anzu, and is STILL AN EFF-ING TOOL.]
MANGA YUGI
So, you think you're clever copying me, hmm?
ANIME YUGI
Copy? You fool, I am the real copy!
[Manga Yugi narrows his eyes, as he chuckles in a very scary way.]
MANGA YUGI
Let's play a little game!
[He pulls out... A GRENADE?!]
MANGA YUGI
I've rigged this grenade to explode when I drop it!
[He throws it at the Anime Yugi's feet. Anime Yugi and Tea's cries are muffled by... the explosion that just killed them. Manga Yugi and a slightly scared Anzu walk away as indescript chunks hit the new crime scene.]
MANGA YUGI
Eggman didn't finish the job when he tried to kill you.
[Author's note: see Cronies 5; the first commercial]
MANGA YUGI
As revenge, I will destroy your main source of food and shelter: THE CRONIES!!!
[Anzu cringes a bit as Yugi's laughter echoes across the night, scaring small children and killing small animals. However, as he does this, a red streak flies by him.]
ANZU
What was that?
[Manga Yugi looks at his wrist; the "red streak" stole his watch.]
MANGA YUGI
GRANDPA'S WATCH! I must retrieve it! ...I will destroy the soul of the one who did this!
==================================================
KNUCKLES
We need a new theme song!
KNUCKLES'S RAP CREW
Well we ain't singin' it!
CLOUD
Fine, here goes.
INTRO THEME SONG
By an unenthusiastic Cloud Strife.
The Cronies, they're lazing around
Scratching their balls and such.
Abusin' their power, not solving crime
They just don't do that much!
They pick fights with people
They waste all their time
They wrote this song, the lazy bastards
So this line has to rhyme!
Sonic is a bitch
And the rest are so-and-so
Now let's get on with this crap
So we can all go home!
(Instrumental)
KNUCKLES
...Our theme song sucks...

Episode 7:
Penalty Game! Curse of Fanfic!
==================================================
COMMERCIAL
[Sakura and Shaoron are hanging around outside at lunch time. Suddenly, Captain Douglas Jay Falcon walks up to them.]
CAPTAIN FALCON
Good afternoon, children!
[Sakura and Syaoran look a little crestfallen.]
SAKURA AND SYAORAN
Hey, Captain Falcon...
CAPTAIN FALCON
Aw, what's wrong today, you cute little anime couple you?
SAKURA
Well... it's Eriol again. He's back in town and I hear he has new "tests" ready for Shaoron-kun and me.
SYAORAN
I wish I could kill him.
CAPTAIN FALCON
Eriol, eh?
[Eriol's house. Eriol is about to answer the door after hearing the bell.]
ERIOL
Hello--
CAPTAIN FALCON
FALCON KICK!!!
[Eriol's face suddenly meets Captain Falcon's flaming foot. Before Eriol could hit the wall, Captain Falcon grabs him by the face and starts pummeling him with flaming fists.]
ERIOL
Wh-Who are you?
CAPTAIN FALCON
The flaming messenger of death!... Or something like that. Now shut up kid and take your fiery beating from an adult like a MAN!
[Eriol tries to teleport away but Captain Falcon knew where he would appear (with his Falcon powers?) and furthered the beating. Eriol starts bawling.]
ERIOL
OKAY, I'M SORRY! WHATEVER I DID, I'M SORRY!
CAPTAIN FALCON
Man, I rock ass! So you're going to leave Sakura and her boyfriend alone, right?
ERIOL
Wh-wh-what? I just came to get some stuff for my new home in England!
CAPTAIN FALCON
ENGLAND!?
[The beating continues.]

11:30 ICT
STATION SQUARE: A PARK OUTSIDE THE EGGMAN CAFE
SHADOW
Wow, it says that two teenagers died horrible deaths due to explosion burns and missing chunks! Crazy kids these days...
SONIC
Um, Shadow, that's interesting and all, but WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIGHT, HERE!
[Which they are. Tails is currently fighting Metabee from Medabots; Ikki is ordering Medabee and Shadow is acting as Tails's "trainer/Medafighter" and such. During this scene, you hear the Medabots battle theme in the background.]
METABEE
Oh yeah! It's time for me to get Meta-busy on your ass!
[Shadow yells into his wrist.]
SHADOW
Tails, move in and kick his ass!
[Tails is beside Shadow, breathing heavily, as he's the ONLY ONE FIGHTING.]
TAILS
Um, I'm right beside you Shadow--
SHADOW
I said KICK HIS ASS!
[He kicks Tails in the butt HARD. As Tails and Metabee continue fighting, the ancient sound of creaking wooden wheels takes center stage.]
IKKI
Time for the secret weapon! PREPARE THE ERIKA CATAPULT!!!
[A catapult is wheeled out. Ikki's classmate and reporter friend, Erika, is chained and ready to be launched.]
ERIKA
IKKI, I SWEAR TO GOD, IF YOU LAUNCH ME--
IKKI
Fire the catapult.
[The little girl is launched. Her screaming isn't heard for long, as she flies off into the distance. She flew far above Tails so the catapult was useless; Ikki just wanted to launch Erika. Knuckles just watches her fly by.]
KNUCKLES
Well that's a waste of a loli.
SONIC
Holy... crap! This is taking too long! Tails, throw him onto the street to get hit by a car!
[Tails salutes proudly. He rams the pint-sized Medabot onto the street; Metabee is hit by a fire truck... being driven by Eggman?]
EGGMAN
Hey, guys, look what I snagged--
[He sees the destroyed Metabee, and jumps out of the truck.]
EGGMAN
FUNCTION CEASED! THE WINNER IS... TAILS!
[Sonic, Knuckles, Amy, and Shadow cheer, while Tails breathes heavily, all bruised.
TAILS
C-Can I go home now?
[Rouge gets up from her seat, cleaning a large diamond ring.]
ROUGE
Yay, we're done.
[She pets Tails's cheek and plays with his three little strands.]
ROUGE
I love a man who gives me jewels...
[He blushes, looking at the giant rock of a ring.]
TAILS
B-but I didn't give you that ring...
ROUGE
Oh... ...Then I probably stole it. Whatever.
[Knuckles is extremely pissed.]
==================================================
12:30 ICT
EGGMAN CAFE
[The Cronies are relaxing at the café after lunch. They're watching the news on the café's TV.]
AMY
So why would Ikki and Metabee go nuts and attack people on the streets?
SHADOW
Low ratings? I don't give a--
ROUGE
Hey, what's that on the news?
[On the TV, a news reporter is interviewing a scared little boy in front of the charred remains of a playground.]
LITTLE BOY H
--Well, the scary man, he challenged us to hop scotch and won because we didn't know where his watch was. Then, he started yelling "penalty game" really, really loud! We were so scared, we ran away! Next day, the playground burned!!!
EGGMAN
NOW THAT'S JUST SICK!!!
[Sonic, Shadow, Amy, Rouge, and Tails all glare at Eggman.]
EGGMAN
IT WASN'T ME THIS TIME!!!
ROUGE
Just like it wasn't you that bombed Tails's house, or conquered the Moon Kingdom--
[Knuckles was reading an issue of Shonen Jump, now all of a sudden scared witless.]
KNUCKLES
Oh my god, it's him...
SONIC
Who?
KNUCKLES
I DIDN'T DO IT! YOU CAN'T PROVE THAT I DID IT!
[Knuckles freaks out and runs out of the café.]
ROUGE
...Wow, was anyone even talking to him?
[Amy picks up the Shonen Jump that Knuckles dropped.]
AMY
Hey, doesn't this scary Yugi Muto kind of resemble who that kid was talking about?
EGGMAN
Hmm... Messed up hair... Millennium Puzzle... manga art-style... yep, we're dealing with Manga Yugi!
SONIC
Manga Yugi? WE?
EGGMAN
Different from the Anime Yugi. This one kills people who cross him. Dead.
[He shows them a panel in the manga of Yugi killing a bully with a test tube explosion.]
TAILS
AAH, that's scary!
SONIC
We need to be ready for this one, guys.
[He looks to Tails.]
SONIC
Tails, make us a helicopter!
TAILS
What?! ...N-Now?--
SHADOW
Call it the Crocopter!
TAILS
Quiet! I'll build it later! Right now we'll deal with Manga Yugi who's at the door!
[The Cronies turn to find Manga Yugi frightening the other customers with his glare alone. Anzu is beside him, kinda shy.]
SONIC
Amy, you haven't been kidnapped yet! This is, like, a record! You might wanna hide so it doesn't happen this episode!
AMY
Yeah, thanks, Sonic.
MANGA YUGI
Ah, the Cronies! I believe today is your day to die!
ANZU
Um, yeah, that's right!
SHADOW
Shut up, you little slave! If you love your precious Yugi so much, why don't you marry him?
ANZU
I don't think he'd--
MANGA YUGI
That will not be happening.
[He thrusts his palm towards Amy; she disappears in a flash of light.]
MANGA YUGI
If you want your little friend back, meet me at the Mystic Ruins near the fox's house. I will be waiting...
[Next, Yugi and Anzu disappear after having a sip of coffee that tastes like Eggman.]
EGGMAN
Sonic, we cannot let them get away without commenting that the coffee tastes like me! Let's go!
SONIC
That was just... I don't even know anymore... C'mon, let's go save Amy before she freaks out and beats Tails again.
[Tails blushes from the prospect.]
TAILS
I didn't mind...
==================================================
12:50 ICT
STATION SQUARE: AN ALLEY SOMEWHERE...
[Knuckles is all scared and also pissed, as he's looking down at a receipt.]
KNUCKLES
This piece of crap! I shouldn't have sold that piece of crap to buy the expensive piece of crap for that bazonga-licious piece of crap! She makes me SO mad...
[Eggman appears out of nowhere.]
EGGMAN
Hey, Knuckles.
[Knuckles jumps seven feet in the air screaming, as he thought is was Manga Yugi.]
KNUCKLES
GAH! What do YOU want? You trying to manipulate me to kill Sonic again?
EGGMAN
No, that's tomorrow's plan! I'm just wondering why you're so damn scared all of a sudden! Did you do something to Manga Yugi?
[Knuckles notices something on Eggman's wrist, and his eyes widen.]
KNUCKLES
I, um, have to go!
[He digs his knuckles into the wall and climbs up the building. On the rooftop, Knuckles hears his Crony-Phone ringing.]
KNUCKLES
...Oh, yeah, I forgot to leave this at home. Hello?
TAILS
Knuckles, get to my place! You have to help us fight Manga Yugi!
KNUCKLES
Shut your hole!
[He hangs up, then sighs bitterly.]
KNUCKLES
Oh well, time to face my destiny.
[He glides off towards the Mystic Ruins.]
KNUCKLES
Will I die like the rest of my people?
MYSTERY VOICE IN THE AIR
YES.
KNUCKLES
WHO SAID THAT? WHO SAID THAT!?
==================================================
13:00 ICT
MYSTIC RUINS
ANZU
Yugi, do we really have to kill them?
MANGA YUGI
What do I tell you every time you ask that? Besides, I must get my grandpa's watch back!
[The Cronies-Cavalry arrive.]
SONIC
Alright, we're here. Do you want us to kick the living shit out of you quickly or slowly?
[Tails steps forward.]
TAILS
A request, from one intellectual warrior to another: please leave my house unharmed. It's been destroyed by Eggman, by the Hamtaro, and by Tomoyo already. I really don't want to rebuild it.
MANGA YUGI
Out of respect for your various published scientific papers that I've read and enjoyed and used to kill people with, I will leave your house unharmed.
[Rouge, feeling cocky, steps past Tails.]
ROUGE
I'm the one who always saves our asses, anyway. I'll take care of you so we can watch Friends. Bring it!
[Manga Yugi has an evil, evil smile.]
MANGA YUGI
SHADOW REALM BARRIER!!!
[As he says this, a barely-visible barrier surrounds a large area but only has Rouge and Yugi inside; the rest of the Cronies are left out and Anzu, who was clinging to Yugi's arm, was knocked away.]
ROUGE
...Oh, shitters...
MANGA YUGI
This barrier prevents outside interference and will prevent us from harming those not involved in our game. Now, Rouge, what game shall I play with you?
[Rouge pulls out two Master Emerald shards; and tosses one to Yugi.]
ROUGE
At the count of ten, we turn around and place the emerald piece somewhere on our person. After another ten seconds, we turn around and must steal the opponent's piece. First person with the other piece wins. You game?
[Yugi smirks.]
MANGA YUGI
Are those the only rules?
ROUGE
Yes.
MANGA YUGI
I accept!
[Rouge counts to ten, then she and Yugi turn. Rouge hides the shard in between her bountiful bouncies. Yugi simply pockets his shard. Rouge counts to ten again, then she and Yugi turn around and stare at each other.]
TAILS
Ah, I see what Rouge is doing. Coaxing him to play her game, then hiding it in a place he'll be hard-pressed to touch. Rouge is a master-thief; as clever as a fox! ...Oooohhhh, I wish she WAS a fox...
SHADOW
Shut up, Tails! I wanna watch!
[Yugi holds his palm towards Rouge. His palm glows for a moment, then in it appears Rouge's emerald piece.]
MANGA YUGI
Is this your shard?
[Rouge, shocked at the sight, feels for her shard. It is no longer between her jubblies.]
ROUGE
You CHEATER!
MANGA YUGI
Ah ah... Your rules did not state that I couldn't retrieve it from afar, nor that I couldn't use magic. Correct?
[Rouge is now scared, as Yugi's forehead glows with a wicked Egyptian eye on it.]
MANGA YUGI
You lose. PENALTY GAME! HEART OF THE JEWEL!
[As he says this, Rouge gets encased entirely in a jewel. Within, she isn't moving; she's more or less frozen in time, but can hear things. Yugi lowers the Shadow Realm Barrier.]
MANGA YUGI
Thus, you become one with the jewels you most desire. Learn from this, for you will reside there as long as I please.
[Sonic and Tails's jaws drop. Shadow is giddy.]
SONIC
Oh my god, there goes our trump card!
SHADOW
Yeah, man, this is AWESOME!!!
TAILS
Shadow, we're in serious shit, here!
SHADOW
What do you mean? ...Ooooooooh, we're gonna die...
[Feeling confident, he steps forward.]
SHADOW
I WILL BE CAREFUL AGAINST YOU, AND I WILL WIN!
SONIC
Yeah, he's gonna get SO beat--
SHADOW
Hey! SHUT UP!
[He glares at Yugi, speaking in his cool, calm, Sonic Adventure 2 cocky voice.]
SHADOW
I challenge you to a simple game of Operation, Yugi.
SONIC
SHADOW, NO! YOU SUCK AT OPERA--
SHADOW
Huh, bup bup bup--
[He says "bup" everytime Sonic tries to keep talking; next he pulls out an Operation game board from nowhere.]
SHADOW
The rules are as follows: NO MAGIC! You must use the game's provided tweezer-thingies WITH YOUR HANDS to remove all the pieces from the guys body. The first person to get "buzzed" three times WITHIN THE GAME'S DURATION AND NOT CAUSED BY ANYTHING ELSE, including, but not limited to, acts of God, static, interference from the opponent, glitches, MAGIC--
MANGA YUGI
I get it, no magic!
SHADOW
Good. Anywho, first person to get buzzed three times loses! If I win, um, you give back Amy and let Rouge go.
MANGA YUGI
Agreed. If I win, you must play a Penalty Game.
SHADOW
Then it's a deal.
TAILS
Shadow, you KNOW you're not going to win! Let us pray for your mortal soul!
SHADOW
NO! My soul! MY SOUL!
[Yugi puts up the barrier and he and Shadow prepare to play. Yugi goes first; he skillfully and quickly removes the water from the knee with little effort, then gives the tweezers to Shadow, who is slowly regretting his challenge.]
SHADOW
C'mon, Shadow ol' boy... focus--
[Shadow suddenly sneezes and gets buzzed.]
SHADOW
DAMMIT!!!
MANGA YUGI
Buzz number one.
[The game continues and Yugi does not get buzzed once. Shadow gets buzzed again.]
SONIC
Oh, god, he's practically perfect in every way!
TAILS
Poor, poor, stupid Shadow... He should've just played paper-rock-scissors. You have a 33.3% chance of losing. Same chance of either winning or a draw. Easy. That's what I'll try when Shadow fails.
[Back to the match, it's Shadow's turn again. He carefully grabs a piece, drops it, and then grabs it again. EXTREME close-up to the tweezers and the metal. Shadow is sweating; he can see the tweezers getting close and even little sparks starting to form as they approach each other.]
MANGA YUGI
Um, Shadow, you've just lost.
SHADOW
...I see... I guess that I'm RUNNING--
[He skates off, hits the barrier, and falls back to the ground. Yugi shakes his head, as his forehead glows wickedly again.]
MANGA YUGI
And another who runs from his destiny. According to the penalty game forecast, there's a 100% chance of SCALPEL RAIN!!!
[Tails is now genuinely afraid, about ready to burst into tears.]
TAILS
What did he say!? Sonic, I don't want to die!!
[Shadow, tries as he can to run, immediately gets pelted and stung by the torrent of razor-sharp scalpels that dig into his body, including one that flies right into his rear!]
SHADOW
JESUS CHRIST, IT BURNS!!!
[Sonic and Tails run towards the downed Shadow as the barrier and magic scalpels disappear. Sonic picks up a bleeding Shadow.]
SONIC
Tails, I have to get him to a hospital. Keep Yugi busy!
TAILS
Nooooooooo!! I don't want to bleed!
MANGA YUGI
What's the rush, Sonic?
MYSTERIOUS KNUCKLES-LIKE VOICE
I'M the rush, Yugi!
[Knuckles lands and throws a holy cross at Yugi's forehead rather hard.]
MANGA YUGI
Ow ow OW!! OW, that stings! What is this, a cross!? I'm not a vampire, you dolt!
[Anzu picks up the cross, feeling right sad.]
ANZU
Are we doing the right thing, Yugi--
MANGA YUGI
Quiet, Anzu. You wanted this, remember? You don't love the kind me...
[Knuckles laughs hard at the entrapped Rouge.]
KNUCKLES
What happened to Rouge!?
SONIC
Penalty game.
KNUCKLES
...And Shadow?
SONIC
Penalty game.
[Knuckles sees the crying Tails.]
KNUCKLES
...What about Tails?
SONIC
Nothing. I'm near tears myself, watching Yugi decimate us...
KNUCKLES
YUGI! I STOLE YOUR WATCH AND PAWNED IT FOR PETTY CASH! THAT'S HOW I BOUGHT ROUGE'S RING! AND SHE DIDN'T EVEN APPRECIATE IT, THE HO!
[Yugi is now quite enraged...]
MANGA YUGI
You stole it? You sold it!?
KNUCKLES
And quite frankly it wasn't even worth it! But now, I challenge you to a game of Duel Monsters!!!
SONIC
GOD you're stupid Knuckles! Tails, stay here and watch him die!
[Sonic races off with Shadow in his arms.]
TAILS
I-I-I don't--I don't wanna watch Knuckles die THAT bad...
[The barrier appears around Knuckles and Yugi as a card game table appears. The table makes the game's monsters and effects happen in real life. Knuckles and Yugi start playing... and Knuckles is getting creamed. Yugi still has 2000 life points, but Knuckles has 0.5 (yes, half-a-point). And mimicking real life, Knuckles is breathing heavily. In Yugi's version of this game, life points are your actual life, to an extent.]
KNUCKLES
Screw this heart of the cards bullshit! Must... draw... miracle card!
[He draws, his eyes widen.]
KNUCKLES
Yes! YES! ALRIGHT, YUGI, I PLAY, IN DEFENSE MODE, "BASKET OF KITTENS"!!!
MANGA YUGI
What.
TAILS
...Is that even a real card?
[Sonic returns sans Shadow. (hospital, remember?)]
SONIC
How do you get half a life point?
[On the board, Knuckles's kitten basket appears, with cute 'n' fluffy little kittens playing inside and out of the basket. The Basket of Kittens has a ZERO attack and defense. Yugi laughs out loud.]
MANGA YUGI
HAHAHAHAHA! You idiot! What do you expect to accomplish with this so-called Basket of Kittens?
KNUCKLES
Plenty, I'd say.
MANGA YUGI
CELTIC GUARDIAN!!! ATTACK THE BASKET OF KITTENS!!!
[Yugi's monster is about to strike, but then it sees the cute 'n' fluffy little kittens. It tries to attack, but it cannot bring itself to snuff out these cute little made-up-by-a-card-game kittens... so it kills itself instead. GMS has Yu Gi Oh cards so let's see... Celtic Guardian has 1400 for attack and 1200 for defense, so it should die and Yugi should lose 200 life points. Yugi's considerably shocked.]
MANGA YUGI
What is this!? My monster won't attack the kittens? Ludicrous! This is impossible!
[Knuckles is... actually using his head?? Is he a big card game nerd?]
KNUCKLES
HAHAHA! As long as my "Basket of Kittens" is in play, you cannot damage them nor me, because no monster is that cruel! AND I HAVE MORE CARDS IN MY DECK THAN YOU! A COUPLE MORE TURNS, AND I'LL DECK YOUR SORRY ASS!!!
[Tails is getting annoyed by the nerdiness.]
TAILS
Oh my god, SHUT UP!!!
SONIC
Alright! He's actually using his head!
MANGA YUGI
No monster is that cruel? I highly disagree, Knuckles! I play the "Summoned Skull" in attack mode!
[Summoned Skull, a giant skull demon thing, appears with 2500 attack and 1200 defense.]
MANGA YUGI
Summoned Skull, kill those kittens!
SUMMONED SKULL
NUH UH!!!
MANGA YUGI
DO IT!!! KILL THEM!!!
[One of the kittens looks at Summoned Skull cutely and meows. The Summoned Skull strikes himself with lightning and collapses, beaten. Yugi only has 500 life points.]
MANGA YUGI
No!!! How?! I never lose! This is inconceivable!
[Knuckles is laughing arrogantly. Sonic and Tails are cheering.]
MANGA YUGI
Well done Knuckles! I am indeed impressed! Too bad you're going to deck me or have me kill myself. I was looking forward to seeing your TRUE power!
[...And...]
KNUCKLES
Then true power you shall see!
SONIC
...No...!!
KNUCKLES
I play my magic card "Fallen One!" Based on Final Fantasy, it sacrifices the one monster I have in play to drop your life points to ONE!
SONIC
KNUCKLES, NOOOOOO!!! IT'S A TRAP, YA FUCKED MORON!!!
TAILS
...You know, Sonic, this just proves that Knuckles is more heartless than giant demons. They didn't kill the kittens. Knuckles, however...
[Author's note: Before reading the following, please understand that the kittens weren't real.]
[Knuckles watches as his kittens meow in terror as they disappear into nothing. Yugi feels the blow and his life points drop to a measly 1.]
KNUCKLES
AND, AS YOU CAN SEE, WITH THAT MOVE, SEEING AS IT'S YOUR TURN AND I HAVE NO MONSTERS IN PLAY...
[He realizes too late.]
KNUCKLES
I just screwed myself.
SONIC
...This ought to be good.
MANGA YUGI
I play Skull Servant in attack mode!
[It's a crappy monster; 300 attack, 200 defense, skeleton grunt, virtually useless.]
MANGA YUGI
Attack his life point directly!
[The Skull Servant waddles up to Knuckles and faggily claws at him.]
SKULL SERVANT
Gweh!
KNUCKLES
AAAAAAH IT'S SO CRAPPY!
[Knuckles collapses, and the shadow barrier dissipates.]
MANGA YUGI
Penalty Game, Knuckles. And for being a worthy opponent, you will receive only the best... CONFLAGRATION!!!
[Knuckles's eyes bug out as he becomes enveloped in flames, running around in circles.]
KNUCKLES
WHY DO I ALWAYS BURN!?
MANGA YUGI
In addition, you will burn internally as well!
KNUCKLES
NO, I HAVE BAD HEARTBURN!
[He runs along Tails's runway and jumps into the ocean.]
MANGA YUGI
Here's a little secret: he only THINKS he has heartburn, even underwater.
[Sonic steps forward.]
SONIC
Tails, you go, I'll challenge him next. If I fail, it's all up to you.
TAILS
N-No, Sonic, YOU go. I think I can win--
[Suddenly, from a smoke cloud, Eggman appears.]
EGGMAN
What about ME!?
MANGA YUGI
Don't make me laugh! You couldn't even fully finish that gay-ass anime me--
[Eggman pulls out two giant machine guns.]
EGGMAN
I HAVE A GAME! DIE, YUGI!
[Eggman laughs maniacally as he rains countless bullets and missiles (yes, the guns had missiles) at Yugi. After all the 'splosions, the smoke clears and Yugi... is gone!]
ANZU
Yugi! YUGI!? Where are you!?
[Yugi appears out of a dimensional gate with a floating thicker-than-usual multi-colored pencil, like something a child would color with.]
MANGA YUGI
Nice try, doctor. PENCIL OF YAMI!!!
[Eggman feels the lightning-fast pencil stab him hard in the chest, embedded halfway in there.]
EGGMAN
...I'm glad that missed my heart!
[He falls back unconscious.]
SONIC
Oh, shit, I guess that's out. ...Alright, I'm next. A game of chess, Yoogs?
MANGA YUGI
Hmph. Very well, I accept.
[Tails slaps himself.]
TAILS
Why--Why do they keep picking games they'll LOSE AT!?
[Sonic bares an unusual smile.]
SONIC
Speed chess? Three seconds per move at max?
MANGA YUGI
Agreed. If you cannot keep up, you DIE.
SONIC
Agreed. No magic.
MANGA YUGI
Understood.
[Sonic laughs as the Shadow Realm barrier perks up again.]
SONIC
HA! JOKE'S ON YOU, YOOGS!!! I'M ACTUALLY A CHESS NERD!!!
TAILS
How come you refuse to play me, then?
SONIC
Well, Tails, I'm a nerd, not a master like you.
[Tails growls in offense.]
SONIC
But my specialty is speed chess!
[Yugi makes a chess board appear from nothing.]
MANGA YUGI
What color?
SONIC
White!
[Sonic makes the first move. Yugi then makes his move--]
MANGA YUGI
Checkmate.
[Sonic looks at the board in complete, total shock. Looking at all the pieces, he... cannot find a way to break away.]
SONIC
NO! That's... not possible!
[Shadow suddenly appears beside Tails. He's still banged up, but is no longer bleeding.]
SHADOW
The foulest, most legal play ever... One I haven't seen since my younger days on the ARK. The dreaded one-move-checkmate "Ass Rape" move. I never thought I'd see it again.
MANGA YUGI
As for your penalty game, Sonic, I think that, after I snap my fingers, you'll have to keep moving at a speed of at least fifty miles per hour! I call this game CURSE OF SPEED!
[He's about to snap his fingers.]
MANGA YUGI
If you lose this game, you'll EXPLODE!
[Sonic suddenly runs off at high speed.]
SONIC
AAAAAAHHHHHHSORRYTAIIIIILLLLLLSSSSS--
[He runs into the water, and is running on its surface into the horizon. Yugi then snaps his fingers.]
MANGA YUGI
Back for more, Shadow?

EGGMAN
Are you tired of so-called psychic phone lines? Well, so am I! Stupid bastards, telling me that my sex life would be vibrant and fun! DO I LOOK LIKE I'M HAVING FUN!? Anywho, call Anima.
[Anima, the Guardian Force from Final Fantasy 10, has a giant pair of headphones and headphone-mounted microphone attached to one of the ears.]
[Anima roars.]
FEMALE CALLER
Hello, Anima! Is my boyfriend cheating on me?
[Anima roars.]
FEMALE CALLER
That son of a bitch! I'm going to go stab him in the eye! Thanks, Anima! You go, girl!
[Anima roars in thanks.]
MALE CALLER
Hey, Ms. Anima! How goes things?
[Anima roars.]
MALL CALLER
My old lady, she won't do anal! Any way I can, you know, convince her?
[Anima roars.]
MALE CALLER
Tell her that it improves her skin's radiance? Wow, Anima, you sure are smart! Later!
EGGMAN
...What the hell?! How do these people understand what she's saying? Anima giving anal advice? WHO WROTE THIS?!

A VERY BAD SITUATION
[Shadow and Tails ran inside Tails's house and to the second floor. There, they hear a scream on the hard to reach (play Sonic Adventure 1) balcony above. Tails flies up to find...]
TAILS
AMY! Are you okay?
[He unties Amy, who is, once more, infuriated at her so-called friends.]
AMY
You guys suck! I've been yelling at you for the past two hours!
SHADOW
How did you get up there? I've tried spin-dashing and jumping at JUST the right angle, but I couldn't do it.
AMY
Yugi can teleport.
SHADOW
Oh.
[Yugi appears suddenly.]
MANGA YUGI
So you rescued your friend. But what about the others? And what about my watch? Play with me and win, or DIE!!!
[Tails steps forward bravely.]
TAILS
Paper-rock-scissors!
[Tails plays rock, Yugi plays paper. Tails hesitates.]
TAILS
Um, sorry that's not what I meant! I'll flip a coin! Call it in the air!
[Tails flips the coin.]
MANGA YUGI
Tails.
[The coin lands; its tails.]
Tails: Again!
[Patient, Yugi calls the coin correctly many times in a row: heads; tails; tails; tails; heads; sideways--it landed sideways; heads.]
TAILS
Um, oh, um, THUMB WAR!
MANGA YUGI
Fine, but this is the last one. Lose and suffer.
[Tails loses, of course, because Yugi's thumb shot dark magic at Tails's thumb. The fox-boy falls to his knees.]
TAILS
Fine. I lose. How will I bleed today?
[Yugi holds his palm towards Tails.]
MANGA YUGI
Penalty Game. Curse... of... KNUCKLES!!!
TAILS
NOOOOOOOOOOOO--
[The penalty game takes effect; Tails looks at Amy.]
TAILS
Hey, Amy, wanna make me a sammich? Bread, you, bread. Your boobs are Amy-licious! So, when can I expect to see you naked on my lap?
[Amy slaps him.]
SHADOW
A fate worse than death: Being Knuckles... that's just wrong! I challenge you one more time, Yugi!
MANGA YUGI
Must you? Even I have standards.
SHADOW
Close your eyes.
[Yugi grunts and complies.]
MANGA YUGI
I know you're trying to trick me, but I'm fairly certain there's nothing you can do--
SHADOW
NOW, AMY!!!
[Yugi opens his eyes in time to watch, in super slow motion, Amy's Pico Pico Hammer, in a huge uppercut-swing, collide with and embed into Yugi's groin. Still in super slow motion, Yugi's pupils shrink and his eyes widen as Amy doesn't let up the pressure. Shadow, like a real man would, turns away. Tails, the curse of Knuckles broken, closes his eyes. Knuckles, his penalty game over, climbs to the top of Tails's house and he, too, turns away. The jewel around Rouge vanishes and she falls to the ground.]
ANZU
YUGI!!!
[Yugi opens his mouth as if to speak, but just squeals very effeminately. Then, he collapses, clutching his groin.]
AMY
That's right, bitch. Feel the girl power!
SHADOW
You go, girl!
TAILS
...I'm so sorry, Amy. I acted like... Knuckles...
AMY
It wasn't your fault. I'm still mad at you, though.
SHADOW
That's your weakness, Yugi. You have nothing physical to back that brain power and magic. Train up a bit, and wear a cup! Then you'll SERIOUSLY kick all our asses--
[Tails smacks Shadow in the back of his head.]
TAILS
Idiot! Don't TELL him that! The Fou-lu Theory isn't 100% accurate, but maybe... so Yugi, you've seen the light, right?
[Yugi, still clutching his balls, looks dead furious at them.]
MANGA YUGI
This is FAR from over...
[He disappears, his voice echoing in the air.]
MANGA YUGI'S VOICE
I will return for my watch, one day! And then, REVENGE! HAHAHAHA!!!
ANZU
YUGI, WAIT!
MANGA YUGI'S VOICE
YOU STAY LIKE THE TOOL YOU ARE, ANZU! I SLEEP WITH THREE DIFFERENT WOMEN EVERY NIGHT! ...ooooohhh... But, not tonight...
[Out of left field, a Space Pirate ship comes out of nowhere, opens up its hatch, and Luigi and two different pirates leap down and abduct Anzu, just before disappearing in a flash. Tails watches the ship fly away.]
TAILS
Well that was unexpected.
ROUGE
I wish I could've kept that giant jewel I was encased in...
KNUCKLES
Have you learned NOTHING, woman? And by the way, I gave you that ring. It was a gift.
ROUGE
Oh! You mean, like payment? For all the time I have to put up with you?
[Knuckles sighs in defeat.]
KNUCKLES
I'll take what I can get.
[Eggman, with no more jammed pencil or blood stains, remembers something as he approaches the gang.]
EGGMAN
Hey, guys, check out my new watch! It keeps time rather smoothly!
[Everyone eyes Eggman darkly, knowing full well that this is Yugi's grandfather's watch.]
EGGMAN
...What?
==================================================
20:00 ICT
???
[Sonic's still running, throttling down a quiet neighborhood.]
SONIC
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE--I HAVE TO STOP!!!
[He stops and prepares to die, clutching his body so at least ONE part of his body won't leave too many scattered chunks. When he realizes he hasn't blown up yet, he looks around with exasperated relief.]
SONIC
I'm alive? The others must've stopped Yugi! Hurray and such! Hurray--
[He looks around again, realizing that he doesn't recall this neighborhood.]
SONIC
...Where am I?
???
Hi, Sonikku!
[Sonic cocks an eyebrow at one Sakura Kinomoto, who waves at him from her front door.]
SONIC
Oh, wow, I ran far... Hiya Sakura! Got food?
SAKURA
Pancakes.
SONIC
Sweet, I'm coming over.
SAKURA
Okay!

COMMERCIAL
[As a guy strums a guitar and sings the Juicy Fruit theme song, several well-dressed rich boys/girls listen to this supposed "catchy tune." Amongst the arrogant rich crowd... is Eggman, Bowser, and Il Palazzo.]

Get your skis shined up, grab a stick of Juicy Fruit
The taste is gonna move ya!
Take a sniff... pull it ooouuuuut!
The taste is gonna move ya when you pop it in your mouth!
Juicy Fruit is gonna move--
[Suddenly, two punks grab the guy's guitar and smash it into the fireplace. Despite the rich snob attitude present, this punkish behavior will not go unpunished...]
[Approximately ten seconds later, two broken-legged punks are bleeding and crying and in need of an ambulance, with the three best friends grinning proudly, their work quite complete. Il Palazzo throws a new guitar to the guitarist.]
EGGMAN
As you were.

On the next episode of Cronies...

RANDOM SPACE PIRATE
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO COOK, CLEAN, SEW, AND TAKE CARE OF A HOUSE OF MALE PIRATES?
ANZU
Hey! Just because I'm a woman doesn't automatically mean I know how to do all that shit! Jeez, it's the 21st century, assholes!
ANOTHER RANDOM SPACE PIRATE
...BUT DO YOU?
[Anzu, after a moment of silence, she hangs her head.]
ANZU
...Yes. I'll start on dinner.
VECTORMAN
Word.

[Eggman is playing Slayer (from Guilty Gear X2) in a fighting game similar to the game Eggman played against Sara in the Sonic OAV. Slayer hits Eggman with an instant kill, and bursts into haiku, like his in-game instant kill.]
SLAYER
An Eggman on ice
So many strange happenings
I am the Eggman
EGGMAN
That was so beautiful!
[The screen shows the word DESTROYED as Eggman loses.]
SLAYER
That haiku sucked.
EGGMAN
Why you LITTLE--
VECTORMAN

VECTORMAN
I'm getting a new game! Sweet!
CAPTAIN FALCON
So am I!
SONIC, TAILS, KNUCKLES, AND SHADOW
So are we!

AND-A ME!
VECTORMAN
Word... on the PS2... coming soon...
==================================================
THE END... for now...again...one more time... BEHOLD, IT IS NOT THE END... oh, wait, it is... psyche!... WE PLAY "PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE PEPPERONI ON THEIR PIZZA" IN DEFENSE MODE!...
...Sadly, Manga Yugi will be soothing his destroyed junk for quite a while now... Anima got assigned to two more hotlines, and excelled... Shadow has yet to perfect the one move "Ass Rape" checkmate... Sonic gorges on pancakes... and Vectorman did not get his sequel. In fact, he's really upset about that, even with the fact that the face-lift for the PS2 would've given him an actual robot body instead of being made of spheres.
Oh well...
"Chapter 7: Uncensored Manga Yugi is far scarier than his watered down TV counterpart. The Cronies find this out... the HARD way..."
