Alright... This is actually the first time I've done this... It's mostly fan-fiction, but the prologue is almost entirely nothing but my original work.(Warning, there might be some strong language and less than mature humor in the story... sorry, no TG this time.)
I wish to get votes for who wins the Mario Race, please PM me for a vote form.
Greed TV: Crossover Double Dash GP
An Author's World OVA Story By 623
Prologue Part 1: Greed & Howard
High atop the main tower of the Greed Television Station, Greed Incarnate, a brown anthropomorphic weasel, sits at his desk, reading his mail, "Another day, another load of hate mail from the viewers. It really does get annoying," Greed puts a letter down and opens another, "And the only thing more annoying are the suggestions for new shows," Greed reads the letter in his hand, "Damn, Axl. How many times do I have to block your letters before you get the point? A show about 'A ladies-man reploid named Axl' won't make me money, therefore, I'm not producing it." Greed balls the letter up and throws it away. Suddenly, a prinny walks in Greed's door.
"I have a special delivery for a Mr. Greed... dood." The Prinny holds up a manilla envelope with a serious look on his face.
"That would be me, Prinny," Greed holds his hand out for the envelope, "Please, have a seat."
"Whatever..." The Prinny hands Greed the envelope and has a seat, "Dood."
Greed goes about reading the letter in the envelope, "Crossover Double Dash GP?" Greed continues reading the letter with more vigor, "A race that spans seven different worlds... YES!" Greed stands up and puts the letter down, "That's exactly what I need to make money! Think of the sponsorships an event of that calibur would attract! Besides, we don't have a racing program. Prinny!"
"Yes?" The Prinny gets up in surprise.
"What's your name!?"
"...Howard."
"You work for the Net's Underwhere, right?"
"Indeed. I was not lucky enough to be born into a world with a definite afterlife... dood."
"Not anymore! You work for me now! I'll make the appropriate calls, since I personally know the King of the Underwhere."
"What exactly will I be doing?"
"You're going to be my personal assistant. It pays double what you're doing now, so you'll be reincarnated faster."
"Deal."
"Well then, your first job as my assistant is to send out the appropriate invitations for this." Greed hands the letter to Howard.
"At your command, sir." Howard leaves the room.
"Hehehe... They think that I don't know what this race is going to lead to, but I'm fully aware that it has the ability to break open the gate. But that gate opening is ratings gold, anyway," Greed takes a sip from the coffee on his desk, "It's a good thing I don't have to deal with the FCC."
