The Busy World of Rockman Perfect Memories

[Afro-Shroom]

Cap'n Afro taps his foot as he waits in line for the opening...

Cap'n: They best have what I'm looking for here...I'd hate to have to cause an describable amount of Zennies worth of damage to this place. *grabs a new cigarette and lights it as he waits*

[Police Girl]

A few of those Gift Certificates landed into RMZX and Kallens house, where they had been laying together after they had got done with .....business....

Hm? AnImate?

That store thats near our house, remember?

RMZX looked out the window and saw the towering AnImate building....

Hmm...

RMZX Grabs a really large vacumm out of his closet and turns it on to grab the gift certificates.

I'll just give these to whoever wants them...

[Blackhook]

Ritter Sonne was standing in front of the AnImate.
Why are here sooo many people? I hate waiting....I´ve got an Idea! 
Sonne´s cape wrapped itself around Sonne´s waist, creating a spiked sharp tutu. He started spinning towards the front door, screamming people were dodging him. When he stopped at the door, he started a Maniac laugh.
Fwo-ho-ho-ho-ho-h-o now I musn´t wait 

[Afro-Shroom]

Afro: Um...hey Stolz...I know you have a bone to pick with me but can we do this some other time?



Cap'n Afro not minding Ritter Sonne's "idea", He quickly pushed aside frighten customer until he was only second in line behind Ritter...

Cap'n:...

[ST Jestah]

StrangeMan had just made it back into RPM, waving goodbye to the FAUST worker who had given him a ride onn the snazy and shiny flying saucer.
"Well that was fun ride...now then, I wonder what the others are up to...hmmmm?"
StrangeMan had stumpled upon a intresting looking certificate beneath his foot. After picking it up, he read it's contents.
"Hmmmmmm...Guess I could take a small detour over to AnImate..."
As he tilted his head, he asked himself. "Where is this AnImate?"

Elsewhere, in front of the AnImate building, a large broccoli shaped silhoutte appeared.
"Hmrph, so this is where I'm supposed to go...looks so...tasty" It said with a large oddly shaped grin.

[Alice in Entropy]

Enigma was still chasing after Blackmore, but due to the E-Wing having to be docked for refuelling and repairs, he had to follow his arch-enemy on foot. As he sprinted down the streets of RPM, he noticed a familiar figure re-arriving.

"Hey!" he said, screeching to a halt, "I know you! It's StrangeMan, right?"

[Afro-Shroom]

Mania: *Walking throguth RPM looking throguh what he could steal had in his gift bag.* Hm lets see...a gold ring...several wallets...two watches and the hopes and dreams of an oprhaned youth. Not bad for a last minute pick if I say so my self...*He drops the bag upon seeing the one he could call his rival* So...Strangeman is back in town...*walks over to strangeman hoping to either scare him by still living after their last battle or a fight*...this looks promising.



Cap'n Afro notices a broccoli shaped figure in the distance but dismisses it as he awaits the opening of anImate...

[Flame]

"So Wily, why dont we head over to Animate? I can get us in the back door since I know Tenchou. I worked there remember?"

[Dr. Wily II]

"I see why not, and we'll drag Taiyo along too then."

[Archer]

Making himself appear in an explosion of feathers (because that was cool or something). Roa turned his gaze to Flame and Wily. "I am not quite sure what it is going on, but I am bored. So I will accompany the both of you."

[Police Girl]

Hey, how many of those Certificates did we nab?

Like.... 30 or something...

What could we buy with all those?

I don't know. If we bought anything it would make Tenchou cry in agony about not getting any profit.

(Good Night people.)

[Dr. Wily II]

A stray feather from Roa's entrance landed on DWII's nose, and he gave out a really large sneeze.

"ACHOO! *sniff* Why feathers!? And... I guess it's ok... Right Flame?"

[Archer]

Roa's brow rose. "Flame's opinion means nothing to me. In the eyes of I, God, he existence means less to me then that of a rock's." He frowned. "Or in other words; I don't like him very much."

[Dr. Wily II]

"Yeah, yeah, the previous arc, yeah, yeah. But it's behind us now! Start anew! Go O-TA-KU~!"

[Flame]

"Gee, nice to see you too Roa." Flame replied sarcastically to Roa's comment.

"Yeah, I guess he can come too... Even Villains and arch enemies like to take breaks and relax."

[Afro-Shroom]

Afro: *Running away from the after party's location...which was now a giant bonfire* Run Dan, Run with every thing you got!

Dan: *Floating next to Afro-Shroom* How the hell do you start a cake fire when you wanted to give Stolz a piece? Or more precisely...HOW DO YOU START A FIRE WITH A CAKE!? 

Afro: Less talky, more runny!

As Afro-Shroom ran to the WDS, a few of the anImate gift certificates landed onto his afro...

[White-Jet]

Ryuta watched the fiasco unfolding from the roof of anImate, remaining stern despite the mild sweatdrop that was sliding down the side of his cheek.  Atsushi and Ittetsu flank his side, watching in equal irritation.

Ittetsu looks over to Ryuta after a moment, "The store will be opening in a couple of minutes.  I suggest we get started before they rush in."

Ryuta nods as he pulls a remote out of his pocket, pressing the sole, large red button in the center.

Immediately, the speakers surrounding the building began playing the opening theme to "Iron Chef America", causing the people crowding around the entrance to look around in confusion as a somewhat familiar voice spoke louder than the music.

"The time has come to ask life's most savory question," he said, "Whose cuisine reign's supreme?"

Atsushi suddenly appears in front of the anImate logo, strapped to a jetpack while holding a plate with a single yellow bell pepper in the center, "Japan has found their answer...."

Ittetsu appears shortly after, wearing the same jetpack and holding a plate with a sour apple in the center, "And America is not far behind."

Then, a lavish throne lowers down between the two, the legs altered with rockets to support its balance.  Sitting upon it is Ryuta, back straight with his arms crossed, looking up on the crowd with sternness on his face.

"But there is one place who hasn't proven their worth as a culinary giant among its citizens," he said before stretching his hand out, causing a pomato to teleport onto his hand, "That's right.  It's about time this city shows the world exactly who they're dealing with in the art of extreme culinary battles."

Ryuta pulls his hand back as he takes a bite out of the pomato, then points at the crowd, "I challenge you all to take part in the most extreme battle in history; the battle for the title of Extreme Iron Chef!"

[Afro-Shroom]

Cap'n: *lighting a cigarette* Hm...Extreme Iron Chef huh?

[ST Jestah]

"Oh Hillo there!...Enigma was it? How have you been?" StrangeMan greeted the crescent shades wearing man, even though he barely remembers him.

Back at AnImate...

"...A Iron Chef competition eh?...Sounds tasty." The broccoli shaped silhoutte licked it's shaded lips in delight.

Elsewhere in RPM...

A small child had just found a strange small jewel lying on the ground. The child had picked it up and gazed at it, amazed by it's peculiar aura.

Meanwhile...

Nekolian sat on the edge of a rooftoop, looking down upon the large city of RPM.
"....Nyar...I'm bored...wonder if there's something intresting going around on the other side of this boring city...Nya-" Just then, a gift certificate smacked his masked face.
"..."
"...Well I got nothin' better to do. Nya-Nyar."

[White-Jet]

Most of RPM's TV and monitors had images of Ryuta sitting on the throne, announcing the challenge of the competition.

"Participation in this all but deadly challenge begins here," Ryuta continues, thrusting his half-eaten pomato towards the doors of anImate, "In this very building!"

"What?" one of the members of the crowd mutters, "What does anImate have to do with culinary challenges?"

"It's quite simple really," Ryuta says, sitting back and tossing the pomato in his hand, "Learning how to cook doesn't always have to come from a simple cookbook, DVD or website.  The most Extreme Iron Chef would use any resources necessary to cook a meal they've seen and want to test out."

He presents his hands towards the 10,000 zenny gift certificates in everyone's hands, "Each if you have collected at least one of the gift cerfiticates raining down upon RPM.  With it, you can buy whatever you want in anImate. However...."

Atsushi picks up a large scroll and swings it around for Ittetsu to catch.  They let go of the bottom handle, causing it to roll out into a large poster containing seven manga-style cookbooks: Peach's Sweetheart Delicacies; Team Italian Preparations with the Mario Bros; Kasumi Tendo Knows Best; Hai Yo's Special 108 Star Recipes; Roll's Rockin' Tips for Family Cuisine; Sailor Jupiter's Shockingly Good Bento Preparations; along with a complete boxset of Iron Chef; all seasons in both Japan and America.  With the exception of the complete boxset of Iron Chef, which is 6500zenny per box, per region, the seven other cookbooks were priced at 500zenny.

"Those of you who wish to participate in this culinary battle must have at least one of these limited edition cookbooks, and a complete seasonal DVD boxset of either the original Iron Chef, or it's American spin-off!  The prices you see should add up to 10,000zenny, so if you really want to be known as the best Extreme Iron Chef in RPM, you should be able to collect everything you see on this poster!"

Ryuta smirks a bit as he takes another bite out of his pomato, "But if you're too 'proud' of yourself to think being involved in something as stupid as a cooking challenge, then by all means, use the 10,000zenny gift certificate to buy whatever you want.  Depending on how many you gather as they rain upon the city, you could empty out this entire store in a matter of seconds."

He leans his left elbow on the armrest of his throne while resting his cheek upon his fist, "Oh, and before you decide to keep that gift certificate for another day; why don't you remove the stickers I placed on the back of the ones in your hand."

Everyone does so, finding that these gift certificates have a very short expiration date; exactly 2hrs upon the store's next opening; which happens to be in sixty seconds.  Everyone can tell because they can hear Anime Tenchou and his staff counting down to the opening of their next "adventure".

[Police Girl]

RMZX and Kallen dig thier way under AnImate.

How did we just get under here?

Plot Hole.

Ohh...

They sit there waiting for the store to open to burst out of the ground and buy as much of the store as possible.

(Don't speed this too far ahead, I want to be able to do what I'm planning to do.)

[White-Jet]

(I'm not; just setting things up just in case the others break in before Ryuta has a chance to announce the competition )

[Police Girl]

(Oh, like I'm about to do. )

[Blackhook]

Ohhhh, a cooking competition...did you hear that miss Temnota?
Suddenly Temnota emerged from Sonne´s shadow.
Sounds like fun 

meanwhile: after party's location
All the flames sudenly vanished.
Have you seen that? The Afro´s face was priceless.
The man who was called Adante by Silan and who did the music for the party was standing next to the burned cake. He turned to Stolz
Was Silan succesfull?
Stolz didn´t say anything, she simply nodded.

[Alice in Entropy]

Nick gave a little smile. "Just call me Nick. I'm, er, just following Blackmore again...I think he's up to no good again. So I'm making sure he doesn't get too cocky." He flicked his bangs. "How are you, though?"
