I am going to assume I won't need permission to do this quest, since it's rewards and stuff are the exact same as the previous, unfinished Rawk Hawk quest. Enjoy!
[glow=red,2,300]Rawk Hawk's New and Improved Quest for Superherocy and the Champion's Belt![/glow]
Another day sets on Glitzville, as the famous superstar himself prepares for a good night's sleep. Little did he know, on this particular day, he would compete for boatloads of cash and prizes in the competition of a lifetime.
"Ah, nothing sets a day better than a snooze after a long day in the ring." yawned Rawk Hawk to himself. "Heh, I'm getting too good for this. Maybe I should just go on an' retire. Unless someone who can actually fight signs up for the pit. Harharhar! Eh? What's that?"
As Rawk Hawk sat up on his luxurious mattress, he noticed a small and bright object hurling through the sky. "Ah, it's only a shootin' star." he said. "That's kids stuff, wishin' things. I'm a man, almost as manly as Captain Falcon himself. No, wait, that will never happen. Still, I don't need no- AGH!" Rawk Hawk accidentally knocked his phone off of the phone set, on the table next to him, as he reached for the light switch. As Rawk bent down to grab the phone, dangling from it's wire, he contemplated a bit. "Ya' know, maybe a wish wouldn't be too bad. No one can see me now... eh... I, uh, wish that I could have a real challenge! Yeah, something that'll cause most everyone else to cry home to their mommies! HARHARHAR!"
You know the saying, watch what you wish for. Well, the same can be applied here, kinda. See, that wasn't a shooting star that passed by. It was a large commercial space vessel not too far in the distance. And when Rawk Hawk dropped the phone and picked it up, his finger slipped onto the 4 button before he made his wish. This was the Glitzville Speakerphone Speed Dial button. The speakers were load, and the space vessel picked up on a distinct signal. This was the signal. Suddenly, the ship veered toward Glitzville, appearing to get much larger the closer it came. Rawk Hawk, who had already hit the sack not long ago, woke up when he heard the sound of roaring engines. The vessel was hovering above Glitzville, and when the Rawk stepped out, he was speechless. The vessel abducted him, and it zoomed off as quickly as it had come.
Rawk Hawk was unconscious until around 9:00 the next morning. He awoke, to see himself on a star shaped platform in the vessel, surrounded by thousands of different species in the crowded stands surrounding it.
"W-Where am I? Who are all these people? And why does it smell like pickles?" Rawk Hawk asked himself. To his left, on the other side of the stage, emerged a man from the shadows.
"AAAANNNNNDDD WEEELLLCCCOOMMEE BAAACCKK EEVVVVERRRYYONNNEE!!!" exclaimed the figure. The crowd was cheering wildly. "Thank you, thank you! Tonight, on Ninja Warrior, we have a special guest. He is loved by all, when he's dishing out the damage, is hugely popular celebrity figure, and really knows how to put on a show. Give it up, for the mighty... RAWK HAWK!"
Again the crowed yelled in excitement. Rawk Hawk, however, was completely clueless. "Hey," he started, "what the hell is going on here?!? Tell me, WHAT'S GOING ON!"
But his complaints were droned out with the sound of the crowd. The figure started to speak again. "I'm your host, Chompy, as usual. But, enough about me, let's see how our contestant is doing tonight! Mr. Rawk Hawk, how are you feeling about the challenge?"
Rawk Hawk stuttered, but Chompy pressed on. "Excellent! You heard him! He's psyched! Now, don't go away! You're only 5 commercial-filled minutes away from the greatest entertainment since last week's show!" The crowed cheered again, but settled down soon after. Rawk Hawk, still very dumbfounded, prompted Chompy off the stage to talk with him.
"What in blazes is going on here?" Rawk Hawk demanded. "Where the HELL am I?"
Chompy sighed, but decided to explain so that the show would run smoother. Ultimate Ninja, as it was called, was a not-so-well known, extremely flashy game show where a contestant embarks on a series of challenges to win fabulous prizes. This game show traveled around the world in this aircraft, stopping between shows to pick up new crowds. It also traveled because, in this game show, you are dropped off in several locations around the world, each with a daunting task you must perform. If you succeed, you move on. Otherwise, you die. Yes, you die. THIS is why it's not aired on TV. The reason Rawk Hawk was chosen, as Chompy would explain, was because they heard his wish from afar. Against Rawk's will, of course. Chompy, for those of you who have followed his history, was general of Chomp Country, and Rawk's worst enemy, which made things worse. Chompy eventually retired from the army business, and decided he wanted a flashy, Japanese-style game show he could call his own. And what do you know? But there was no more time to explain, and Chompy pulled Rawk back on stage, unwillingly. Rawk Hawk would've fought back, but even in this desperate hour, he wasn't going to risk letting the crowd down. Rawk Hawk is a true attention hog at best.
"Now, people!" Chompy said as the stage lights went on again. "Before we begin, let's tell Rawk Hawk what he is playing for!" A spotlight zoomed over to a small area on the right, where a showgirl chain-chomp named Winky began to speak. "Thanks, Chompy! Okay, Rawk Hawk, ta-night you'll be playin' for this LOVELY Champion's Belt! Yay!" Rawk Hawk's eyes opened wide; not at the showgirl, at the belt. God. Rawk Hawk, having never rightfully earned the belt in the first place, was eager to go at it again.
"Alright! Audience, let's see if Rawk Hawk has what it takes to become the next... NINJA WARRIOR!"
The crowd went berserk, and the airship stopped. One side of the ship opened up like a garage door, revealing a giant sequoia tree in the middle of a slightly cleared portion of forest. Rawk Hawk and Chompy hopped on a floating platform, dropping off the Hawk at the bottom with some camera guys. Chompy veered it back up towards the ship. The bleachers in the ship extended out of the ship via gear works behind the seats. This allowed for everyone to be able to see. The aforementioned procedure was how each leg of the contest would start from here on out.
Chompy began to speak with a microphone. "Now, here is the first event! In this round, Rawk Hawk will have to climb the giant sequoia tree! Woohoo! And 3... 2... 1... GO!"
Rawk Hawk began up the tree. He was feeling kind of weird. I mean, so would you in this situation. None the less, he didn't know what he had gotten himself into, but he just wanted the chance to spread his fame and get that Champ's belt. Plus, he had wished for a challenge. But it seemed he wasn't getting one.
"HARHARHAR!" Rawk Hawk yelled after making it up 20 feet of the 100 or so feet of tree. "I wished for a CHAL-LENGE!" He was about to get one. All of the sudden, and out from nowhere, Koopas in jetpacks flew up to where Rawk was and started throwing rocks at him.
"Oh yeah," Chompy added, "we forgot to mention that random Koopas will come and attack you. Oh, and the tree will be set on fire after you get a little head start. Happy climbing!"
O__O
The bottom of the tree was ignited, and the fire was rapidly spreading up the trunk, toward Rawk. And he was being pelted by seemingly infinite stones. He yelled at the top of his lungs, but he climbed more. At about 50 feet of hanging in there, the fire was inching toward his feet. And the koopas were just pissing him off. Rawk Hawk made a daring move. "RAAAWWWKKKK!" he screamed, as he jumped from the tree onto a jetpacked koopa. He bounced off with amazing force, propelling him to 80 feet. But the remaining koopas went further back now, and the fire wasn't slowing down. Rawk quickly started up the tree again, and managed to cling onto the finish-line-colored branch. He had somehow beaten this brutal challenge.
"Woo!" Chompy yelled. "Yeah, everyone, Rawk Hawk did it! Now come down here so we can move on to the next challenge!"
O__O x2
Rawk Hawk wasn't allowed to use powers of flight in this game. So he was pretty much screwed. Nonetheless, he swallowed his fear (and some smoke from the fire), and took a leap of faith... into a conveniently placed small little haystack far below that somehow prevented him from getting hurt in any way. Thank you, Assassin's Creed. Rawk Hawk emerged, and re-boarded the aircraft with his new fans.
A new challenge was held every day, and Rawk was allowed home during the nights. He has a reputation to keep there, too. He would wear a device that forcefully teleports him to the ship when the next challenge is to begin. What will Chompy have in store for Rawk Hawk next?
