Here's another scene that I have in mind for the sequel of A Sweetie Dreamland and that I hope to place somewhere. The idea was just so surealist that I just had to do it. Enjoy!
"You mean that YOU actually almost managed to conquer your whole universe?" asked Wolf. "By the way, I fold."
"Yes. Twice." Bowser eyed him. "Why are you so surprised?"
"Because you act like an idiot most of the times," laughed Hades.
"I call," said K. Rool as he took a bunch of gold coins and placed it near the center of the table. "You are so idiot that you focus on capturing a stupid princess over and over again instead of using your military power to destroy your nemesis."
"I agree. You are the one possessing the greatest army out of everyone around this table excepted Tabuu, Ridley, and maybe Hades, and you mainly use it like a bully uses his goons to make others miserables, said Crazy Hand as he put a card on the center of the table, a king of heart.
There were already two other cards on the table: a jack of spade and a ten of heart.
There was some silence, only a growl from Bowser being heard, and then, Tabuu tapped the table two times. "I check."
The Devil laughed and pushed half of his gold coins. "I raise!"
Ganondorf growled. "I fold."
"I'm not falling for that bluff, Devil! I call!" shouted Bowser as he placed the same number of gold coins on the table. "So you're saying that I'm not better than a simple bully? Well, I totally am! Who there almost managed to conquer an universe? Not counting Tabuu."
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but he has a point," said Ganondorf.
"The idiot must not be underestimated or else you will be exterminated," said Gruntilda. "I don't want to lose too much gold, I must fold."
"I fold too," said Ridley.
"I fold! And no truer words, Miss Green," said Marx. "There's not an expression about it? Something about the master fearing the idiot because they're unpredictable?"
"Something like that," said Eggman.
"The idiots and the crazys. And the worst of all, the crazy idiots," said Wily as he turned to look at Cortex.
"Why are you looking at me?" asked Cortex.
One by one, the players fold until it was Tabuu's turn again.
"I call," he said, surprising most of the other bad guys around the table.
So it was time for the showdown, and the Devil laughed as he showed his cards, revealing that he got a pair of kings.
Bowser slammed his cards on the tables, revealing a three of a kind of jacks. "Ah! Take that! I didn't fall for it!"
Tabuu then laughed as he revealed his cards, revealing, to everyone's surprise, that he had the queen of diamond and the nine of hearts.
To be clear, he had a straight, making him the winner of this round!
"Rah! Come on!" shouted Bowser. "It's impossible to read your pokerface! You don't even have a face!"
Marx laughed. "You should reconvert yourself professional Poker player! You would be a killer in tournaments!"
"Hey! Can I join you?" suddenly asked someone, causing a few of the bad guys to jump in surprise on their seat before they all turned to see that it was Sweetie Belle who had entered the room.
Ganondorf raised an eyebrow. "Shouldn't you be sleeping, kid?"
"I needed to use the restroom, then I heard you guys talking and saw that you were playing Poker and, well, I wouldn't mind joining," replied the filly with a shrug. "And before you tell me that only bad guys or ex-bad guys are welcome, know that I almost destroyed an universe once, I don't know if it counts."
Marx shuddered at this.
"Wait. You're serious?" asked K. Rool.
"I understand that you are powerful, but you aren't THAT powerful," said Eggman. "Unless you got your hooves on an artefact that corrupted you and gave you enough power?"
"Not at all. Let's just say that I have a secret transformation that is totally uncontrollable and that I hope I will never need to use, and leave it at that."
Hades smirked. "Wow. Now I'm curious. Alright, come. It will be more fun with you."
At this, Crazy Hand brought a chair that Sweetie jumped on, as well as fifty golden coins for her.
"Okay, Lefty, bring the cards," said the filly.
"Don't call me that!" shouted the floating hand.
"Oh, come on, Lefty, after everything we went through," giggled Sweetie Belle.
"Just accept it, you know you will not win," laughed Hades.
Crazy Hand growled before he gave the cards to all the players. Once he was done, Sweetie looked at her cards: a four of diamonds and an ace of clubs.
"Do you even know how to play?" asked the Devil.
"I played against my future selves a couple of times in our personal pocket dimension," answered Sweetie Belle.
Ganondorf groaned. "Why am I not surprised?"
"You got used to the crazyness I think. I mean, look at us now," said Wily. "A bunch of mad doctors, a fire-breathing dragon-turtle, a crazy jester, an overlord of darkness, a space wolf, an obese crocodile-"
"Hey!"
"-a space pirate dragon, a witch, the god of freaking Hell, the freaking Devil, and a god-like being from some space between spaces are playing Poker, now joined by a little filly who can apparently destroy universes, and the dealer is a floating hand that incarnates Destruction, and we aren't even batting an eye."
"Welcome to the Multiverse," said Hades.
"You know, maybe I should invite Dedede and Meta Knight. They're both ex-villains, and they would add more crazyness to this table," said Sweetie Belle.
"No thanks, we're already enough," said Eggman.
"Anyway, since you just came, then we will let you start. you check or you bet? Unless you fold?" asked Crazy Hand to the filly.
Sweetie Belle looked at her cards again. "Eeh... I think I will check." She tapped the table two times.
Tabuu took a couple of golden coins and placed them on the table. "I bet."
"I raise!" said the Devil as he took five gold coins.
As the game round continued, Ridley asked to Sweetie Belle "What is your reason to play with us? It can't only be just for fun."
Sweetie Belle shrugged; "I thought that it would be a good occasion to get to know you better. We barely talk. Well, excepted Marx. The only one who's a little talkative with me is Hades."
Wolf rolled his eyes. "I wonder why."
"Yeah, I know, we had a bad start, but hey, it doesnt mean that we can't be friend now that we're allies!" said the filly with a big smile.
"Are you serious? We all know that you will jump at our throats once we're done with Galeem and Dharkon," shouted Ridley. "Especially mine! I have done too much evil!"
"You are right. You killed countless people including Samus' parents and her adoptive people among others, but it doesn't mean that, if you want to have a change of career once this is over, I will disintegrate you. I'm not one to hold a grudge over the past. You may still have to exil yourself to another universe however. Speaking of change of career, I see you very well as a clown," finished Sweetie Belle with a smirk.
Marx burst into laughter.
Ridley gave the filly a deadpan look. "If you weren't so stupidly powerful, I would kill you right now."
She rolled her eyes. "You've no humor. By the way, I call," she said once she saw that it was her turn.
A few more "I call" and Crazy Hand placed a card on the table, a ten of hearts.
Sweetie Belle dropped her cards. "I fold. Anyway, let's not talk about me potentially putting most of you behind bars once this is over. We're here to have fun, so... Hey! What about this: whoever loses first will have to sing Calamari Inkantation from the Squid Sisters."
Hades laughed loudly at this. "I'm on! It will make this game more interesting!" He looked at the others. "Whoever will sing it, I will make sure to bring a camera."
"It will NOT be me! That song is too stupid!" said Bowser. "Bring it on!"
"Oh please, not me, I sing very badly," pleaded Cortex.
"I doubt any of us know how to sing, which makes it interesting," said Gruntilda.
Sweetie Belle smirked. "Actually, I know how to sing, so even if I lose, I still get to have fun."
They all looked at her, then the Devil laughed. "I see. Clever girl."
For info, the Devil here is the one from Cuphead.
There are entirely too many video game characters who are just "the Devil" because punching Satan in the face is fun. For some reason there's a lot of Christians who take issue with letting you to do that? Feels like they're the real Satanists, sort of like all the extremist homophobes who have come out as gay.
5317735
Ah, yeah. I should precise that it's the Devil from Cuphead.
I thought it was the one from Wreck-it Ralph but i guess this is kinda the thing that's going on here
And if my Bionicle OC was there he'd be the chaperone (officially) for Sweetie even though she wouldn't need his presence.
Kratus was in a shorter version of his true form when Sweetie Belle asked to play with a conversation starting before he spoke up "I've razed entire cities to the ground for demands to be met, but I usually limit myself to ones of strategic value and if that doesn't work then the capital's next or ones without strategic value are next then the capital which by then around half the country's razed then leave after the demands are met and don't care what happens next as long as they don't pull anything." he told them, leaving out that he used that method if more peaceful methods don’t or won’t work with one of them calling him evil.
I'm not one to gamble, so I don't know much about the rules of games such as poker and blackjack.
Crazy Hand must be really good at card games if he can put a card on the table without revealing his other cards by accident.
Just imagine Bowser singing Calamari Inkantation...
5317797
Just imagine ANY villains singing this song.
5317798
By the way, have you checked in with Spellflame to see how he's doing with posting the levels on YouTube?
5317804
I will see with him, but I suppose he's editing.
I wouldn't mind joining the villains to play poker. Seems like fun!
You don't suppose you could let DJ Octavio, M.Bison, and Dracula join in?
5318024
I suppose I could. The problem with Octavio is that I will have some problems finding the sea food puns.
5318035
Don't worry, I'm sure you''ll Ink of something. I sea food in your future.
I mean, you don't have to put some characters if you don't feel like it.
5318351
I suppose I will see when I will write the story how things will go, but I love too much Octavio to not put him somewhere.
5317804
He's working on it. I told him that he could take his time because it's not really pressing, but I also told him that uploading those videos as soon as possible would be good because it has still been five months since the previous chapter. I don't know how long he will take but I'm sure it will take him only a few days to a little over a week.
5318035
You mean you're going to have trouble with finding seafood puns? You're squidding me! I'm sure you'll find a way to ten-tackle that problem.
Well, it was funny, now I'm waiting for it to began

Remember, English is not Lucar's first language, and its potential for punnery is a direct result of how much of an overwrought mishmash it is. I don't speak anything else fluently, and even I feel the need to insult it whenever the topic comes up.
5330325
You do have a point there. I just don't want to feel like I'm offending him or anything. I'm sure that Lucar tries his very best when coming up with a story. I hope that he understands that he doesn't have to push himself with theses stories.
5318795
Hey, who lost the bet? You cut it off before it was shown.
5682156
I don't even know. I didn't think ahead.
