MST of Unemployment
By Truenor

A.N: Although this will probably never happen, I sometimes wonder what would happen if it did. What would the world warriors would do to make ends meet? I guess there’s only one way to find out…

Location: Capcom of Japan

All the Street fighters from every game except Dan are in the CEO’s meeting room. There was business to attend to…

CEO: Where is Dan?”

As if on cue, Dan runs into the meeting room and falls on the floor. He picks himself up and sits down in the chair provided for him.

CEO: You’re 15 minutes late!

Dan: Sorry! I got caught in the rush hour traffic!

(Dan: Why does the author always make me a bumbling idiot?)
(Cammy: Because you are, luv.)
(Dan: Hey!)

CEO: Never mind. Now that everyone is here, we can get started. As some of you may know, the Street Fighter franchise has been suffering severely for the past several months. We managed to bury Mortal Kombat and managed to stay above our main rival SNK, but we are still losing the fighting game war slowly.

(Ryu: Of course he's joking. As long as Ken and I are in the game, Street Fighter will always be on top!)
(Ken: Gotta agree with you buddy!)
(Sagat: Oh yeah! Then why did the first version of Street fighter 3 suck?)
(Akuma: It only got better when they put me in second version...)
(Chun Li: And it got even better when Capcom brought me back!)
(Blanka: Arrogh! (Yet the game still sucked!) )

Ryu: What are you talking about?

CEO: What I mean is, Namco, the company that owns Pac-man, is number one with their Tekken series. We can’t compete with that.

Ken: But we have a 3-D series as well! What about Street Fighter EX?

CEO: That lasted for a while. But a lot of people just saw that as a Tekken clone. That’s not the only blow to us however…

Chun Li: What else is hurting us?

(Sakura: Dan's natural gas!)

(All except Dan: ha!ha!ha!ha!)

CEO: That live-action movie you guys made a few years back. That really hurt us.

Cammy: Yeah luv. That movie nearly killed us.

Guile: Although I was the star in that movie, they had some nerve getting Jean-Claude Van Damme to play me! God Damn!!

(Guile: Why did I sound french in the movie?)

(Charlie: Why did they make me Blanka?)
(Blanka: Arrough! (What was the director smoking?) )

(Ryu: Ken and I are supposed to be the stars! Not Guile! Why were we treasure hunters! And where was my headband?)
(Ken: Why was my hair so short?)

(Vega: At least you weren't "bishounen" in the movie)

(Dee Jay: Why did Dhalsim and I work for Bison?)
(Dhalsim: That was very bad karma.)

Bison: The movie was so bad that the actor portraying me died after it was done.

Dee Jay: You mean Raul Julia?

Bison: Yeah, that’s his name.

Dan: Wasn’t he Gomez in the Addam’s family movies as well?

Dee Jay: Yeah. He was pretty good too.

(Karin: Anybody wanna come to my house and see the Addams Family on DVD?)
(Sakura: Sure!)
(Dan: Okay!)
(Ken: I'm in!) CEO: We are getting off the subject here. Because of all these mistakes and nearly fatal blows, Capcom has nearly had to file bankruptcy. Although we managed to slowly come back, the Tekken series is beating us too bad. At this rate, Namco will completely put Capcom out business! So it pains me to do the only thing left in order to save Capcom…. All of you…. Are fired…

All the Street Fighters: What!!

(Ryu: I am going to kill Trutenor for what he did to us...)

CEO: I’m sorry. But it is the only option left. The Street Fighter franchise is no longer profitable. That live-action movie came back to haunt us. I have your final checks here. I will leave them on the table. It has been an honor working with all of you. Take care of yourselves. (CEO exits)

(Akuma: Here's another option: Shun-goku-satsu!)
(Sagat: Or how about Tiger Genocide!)

Ryu: Crap! Now what are we going to do?

Ken: I’m still rich! I’m going to open up my own dojo!

Dan: I knew that this would happen! That’s why I filled out an application for another job in advance!

Cammy: What are you going to do, luv?

Dan: Can’t tell you. It’s a secret…

(Cammy: So what is that job, Dan?)
(Dan: I won't know until the stupid author writes it in! I just know I'm going to hate it! Why does the author do this to me?)
(Bison: At least you got your own series! I still haven't been in a fic yet. Except this one...)

Chun Li. Ookay… So Ryu, what are you going to do? I’m sure you can find another job with your college degree!

Ryu: Actually Chun Li, that’s something that I’ve been meaning to tell you. I never went to college…

All the Street Fighters except Ryu: What!

Some Street Fighters spit out their coffee, while the others just fell on the floor laughing. All except Ken, Chun Li, and Sakura of course…

(Ryu: I am tempted to turn into "Evil" Ryu just to kill the author...)
(Dan: Ha!Ha! You really are a country bumpkin!)
(Ryu: Shin-Sho-ryu-Ken!)

(Dan falls to the floor. He gets up to get some more popcorn.)
Chun Li: You are going to go to school, right?

Ryu: I want to, but college is expensive. How will I get the money?

Ken: I’ll cover it. You’ve saved my life so many times it’s the least I can do.

Chun Li: I still love you Ryu. I want you to move in with me in my apartment.

Ryu: But you don’t work for Interpol anymore. What will you do?

(Yun: Be a stripper!)
(All the men except Ryu: Yeah!)
(Bison: I shall throw in Juli and Juni as well!)
(Darun Mister: I shall make Princess Pullum do the same!)
(Cracker Jack: Every girl in every game shall be a stripper!)
(Doctrine Dark: Except Area. She's too nerdy.)
(Area: Hey! I've got what it takes!)
(Yang: No you don't...)
(Dan finally comes back with more popcorn)

Chun Li: I’m going to work in a Chinese restaurant. That will help us with food and bills.

Dan: What are you going to do, Blanka?

Blanka: Arrough! Aroough! (I’m going to that “special” school I told you about. I’ll finally be able to learn how to speak so everyone will be able to understand me! Plus it’s really cheap! And it’s only for one year!)

(Blanka: Arrough! (Wouldn't some "hooked on phonics" tapes be less expensive?) )
(Dan: It would be, but Trutenor has to have a plot. The tapes wouldn't have much of a plot.)
Dan: Where is it located?

Blanka: Arrough! (In Hong Kong)

Dan: I’m proud of you Blanka! I have an apartment there! You can move in with me!

Ken: What’s Blanka talking about?

Dan: Blanka is going to that special school in Hong Kong that will give you a bachelor’s degree in one year! And it’s really cheap!

Chun Li: Ryu, you’re going to that school.

Ken: That would also be a lot easier on my wallet…

(Everyone except Ken: *cough* Bulsh**!! *cough*)

Dan: You and Blanka will be classmates! You two can study together!

Ryu: I don’t know how to thank you guys…

Chun Li: By graduating. I’ll help you with your homework every night. And if you do really good, I’ll help you with extra credit too!*wink, wink*

(Ken: Extra credit, huh? Go Ryu!)
(Cammy: I saw her dress at our "Girls Night Out" party. Ryu is going to die!)
(Rose: Chun Li! I didn't know you had it in you!)
(Dan: That's not all she's going to have in her!)
(All except Ryu and Chun: Ryu and Chun Li! Sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love! Then comes marriage! Then comes Ryu in a baby carriage!)

Ryu started to blush red from what Chun Li said. He knew what extra credit meant…

Ryu: Then it’s settled. I’ll go to this school in Hong Kong and move in with Chun Li. Dan, you still haven’t told us what your new job is.

Dan: Give it up, Shoto boy. I’ll never tell in a million years…

Ken: I guess we’ll just have to find out…

Dan: Good luck.

(Ken: I'm the richest guy in America. I'll find out.)
(Guile: We can do it!)
(Charlie: USA!)
(Sakura: Please! Japan has better technology!)
(Chun Li: Whatever! Hong Kong!)
(All the Street Fighters start arguing)
