Zachary: Cripto, you do realize that with you using your powers, whether they acted on their own or not, to bring these cartoons to real life is drawing way too much attention right? Interpol is on you, the CIA is on you, the MI6 is on you, and even us UN1024s are on you.

Haakon: You need better control of your powers.

Chuong: Guys relax! All of us are watching Cripto either way!

Haakon: From what I'm seeing so far, Cripto needs better grasp on his powers because the more he twists reality around, the more the world is going to get screwed over.

Zachary: That and asides from terrorism, I'm worried about the fact that America is producing more jobs than American families having children! Most of these jobs require at least a bachelor's degree in something! And don't forget that a number of job posting for medical assistants are at an all time high since every American town has clinics and hospitals like the towns and cities in any part of Earth. We have nurses and doctors yes but where are the medical clerks to handle more of the paperwork? What about medical assistants?

Star: Actually Zachary, there are medical clerks and assistants but most of them are interns.

Zachary: But even that, America needs more employees in general. Can't you believe it? 40 billion people on Earth with way more than plenty of food for everybody along with advanced thorium technologies to power our world and recycling technologies to eliminate waste. Yet, not enough workers. How many Earthlings do we need to finally satisfy America's job demands? 50 billion? 100 billion? How about 80 billion?

Haakon: *sighs* Zachary, America's job demands will be satisfied. There's opportunities everywhere on Earth but most of them are in America. There will be more Americans and besides, America has a lot of people so the country doesn't feel lonely. Second, you kinda got us a bit off topic when you're complaining about Cripto's powers to summon cartoon characters to our world and his ability to bend reality. I think we should be more concerned at that. Not a lot of people are happy at this and Copycat is really upset over this because he thinks that everybody has a home to stay in and that is where they belong. Second, he still accuses you for using your powers to get these characters to follow your ways.

Rush: I hate to say this but some people have imaginations of blending aspects of video games with real life and even reenacting some scenes out of them. A lot of those racing games, especially Forza Horizon 2, are reenacted by daring people with their performance cars. You can take out the characters, but aspects of video games can blend in real life. So what I'm saying is that we'll still see resemblances from video games in real life. Now lets hope we don't have Sonic trying to stop Wild West outlaws in the Challengers playing Forza Motorsport in real life in the Wild West on the roads.

Chuong: I doubt that's going to happen. Let the cops test out their Carbon Motors E7. At least there's the Need for Speed.

Soil: Racing in the Wild West; the ultimate American fantasy.

Sky: As well as the most dangerous too. Highway patrol units from Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona aren't too happy that their highways are being turned into the personal Autobahn of criminals.

Zachary: Yeah. My infrastructure reforms unintentionally opened more opportunities for illegal racing. Its either that or congested traffic with more accidents. So I went with the choices with the least consequences to save as many lives as possible. Don't forget Cody is probably getting a bit steamed up hearing outlaws tearing it up with their Challengers.

Sea: Everybody loves the muscle car; especially the bad boys. And boy are they good at racing. I wonder how Cody feels about filmmakers around the world going to his state to reenact racing scenes for their movies?

Zachary: He probably wouldn't mind because he dealt with outlaws a lot before and how they became a part of the Wild West history. Not to mention, how outlaws evolved over time. They went from robbing banks and riding horses to having decent jobs, though mostly labor or assistant work, and driving Challenger Hellcats. Not to mention, robbing targeted individuals like Bendraqi for the fun of it. Plus, the outlaws almost lived in the wild whereas the outlaws of today live in townhouses to keep the Challengers in their garages. Now if someone were to mess Texas or threaten the state like Bendraqi would, then that's a whole different subject that I'm not going to bother because we all know what happens from there; its not pretty.

Haakon: When our enemies are evolving through the changes of this world towards a brighter future, our fellow original heroes, especially Cripto, must learn to prepare and deal with these changes. Most criminals are going to be smarter in carrying out their crimes and getting away with it. Just saying.

Cripto: I already knew that, Zachary. Remember, all these characters first came when I was only 15 years of age, at random intervals, in a chain reaction that never stopped. It proved to be beneficial, because there were times when Moo Montana and his deputies would team up with the Fab 5 or the Nickelbacks. The weirdest part about this is that there was a sort of duplication effect, so you can still watch them on TV or play their games.

*Some of the characters speak in Cripto's defense.*

Tony the Tiger: In his defense, Captain, it should be known that as part as the percussion goes, we made that conscious choice ourselves to do it. Wildcat City's the music capital of the world, after all. That's the truth. His powers didn't tell me to be a drummer; I wanted to do that myself.

Sonic: And in some cases, I was playing rock guitar already.

Razor/Jake: In the end, if all those people are spying on him, it's only fair they spy on us.

Super C: Forza Horizon 2? I never heard of that one.

Cripto: I don't think Cody would mind that.

So does that mean that they are not actually the characters, but rather clones that wear their faces?

No, it doesn't. They still talk and generally behave as they do as portrayed in the media. The only changes to behavior is made to fit in with local culture.

Chuong: *to you* Your feral form will be excellent for infiltration missions. For example, you could be assigned to do an infiltration mission with Anushka in India and you can spy on your enemies in the jungle and no one is going to know who you are. If anything, your enemies will only pass you off as a wild tiger assuming you're hiding your shako and drum. You can also do espionage missions that way where you can for example, spy on your enemies in a zoo by hiding in the tiger exhibition and no one is going to know who you are there either.

Zachary: Hide and seek will never be the same again.

Dustin: It's also useful in dodging Bendraqi as well by hiding and he won't know.

Me: Say, that's an idea. Just be aware I'm still not safe from Bendraqi even if I'm safe that way from other enemies, since he just wants to blow up the whole world.

Cripto: If he ever does that, everybody will be in Eterna once again.

Me: We all had a fun time playing. Great experience. It keeps our pride and morality strong. Everyone loved me and Pink's flute-playing.

Me: Indeed we did.

Me: I wonder if we'll have a parade in a mountain town next.

Me: Well, mountain folks normally listen to bluegrass and hillbilly songs. Plus, they're all armed and they shoot or point at trespassers according to the stereotypes, so they'd even tell Obama to get off their property.

Me: That's kinda cruel. They can't even welcome newcomers?

Me: I'm only speaking of stereotypes about those kinds of people, Blue. They'll probably welcome us just fine.

Me: That's what I hope for.

Me: As do we.
