With a displeasing grunt, the exorcist roamed the backstage halls of the syntech facility. Searching for his diva of a partner. After his little blowout, Mickey did not leave the best impression. Not with Kanda nor the directors. Up ahead light escaped underneath a wooden door. Without knocking the exorcist opened the door, finding a moping mouse staring into a preposterous large mirror decorated with light bulbs around the colored edges. The reflection had the two primes staring directly at each other, the deep burrowed frown upon Mickey’s face said it all.
“What do you want?” The mouse snorted, “ Leave me alone Kanda, I am done with these amateurs. They don’t even know how to treat a real movie star.” A deep sigh followed as the depressed mouse rested his head on top of his hands.
Kanda’s one and only nerve was easily triggered, something the mouse found out the hard way. The captain grabbed the movie star at the collar of the Pepsi uniform, lifting Mickey up from the chair, against the wall. “Listen here you spoiled little Brat” Yu fired out like the flames of hell. “Do I need to remind you where the hell you are?! I am not happy with this circus either. But I have to suck it up, and by God so will you. I'll be damned if we get disqualified due to you being a child, unwilling to play your part. Be a man for once.”
Mickey’s eyes widened as never seen by Kanda before. Veins were visibly bulging on the exorcist’s temples. “But I’m not a man,... I’m a mou-”
“I know you’re a damn mouse!” Yu interrupted while shaking the Disney hero like a Hawaiian cocktail mixer. “I need you to man up. Be the warrior that is going to win this competition with me.” The rage infused warrior dropped Mickey back to the ground. Silence took over the room, both primes staring at each other. The wake-up call did seem to have some degree of effect, even if it was only shock.
Direct eye contact was broken, the mouse’s eyes started to linger. It wasn’t too long before his attention was caught by the headpiece still on Kanda’s head. Cheeks started to fill as he did his very best not let the air escape in an outburst of laughter The sight of the pissed off swordsman still wearing the oversized Disney ears made it near impossible to keep a straight face. Yu,-still not realizing his ensemble, never stopped his intense glare. The visible eye twitch pushed the mouse over the edge, sending him in a straight up laughing fit.
“Aaaaaah HAHAHAHA”
Hell’s fury boomed through the room, “The fuck is your problem?!”
The only response the ‘devil-faced’ man received was an index finger pointing at the mirror, combined with laughing tears rolling down Mickey’s cheek. His reflection in the polished metal revealed the captain’s ridiculous ensemble. Looking like the inferno mouse from hell, made even Kanda snort. Before risking breaking character he turned his back to his partner. “Let’s go and finish this thing before that big guy sends us home.”
Mickey wiped the tears from his eyes, still recovering from his little outburst. “W-wait up!” The short legs challenged him to keep up with the short-fused demon hunter.
The two didn't talk for a good while. It was the keyblade wielder who broke it first, “I still believe the way they treat their ‘stars’ around here is criminal.” A friendly shove from the reticent man sends Mickey stumbling through the door.
“Ah, there you guys are!” The Rock welcomed them back with his energetic voice, “Ready for round two? We still have plenty of shots left.”
The thought alone of having to endure more of this mental torture made Kanda wish for a good old-fashioned demon brawl. Alas, he was stuck here. entertaining the masses of the omniverse by playing dress-up.
After Mickey accepted the poor production quality, their Pepsi man scene was shot in all but three takes. Dwayne’s natural talent to play the blonde femme fatale in combination with Mickey’s charisma as Pepsi-man exploded off the screen. Kanda’s drama potential was lacking, to say the least— stuttering out one line after the other without a hint of flair. In the end, it was good enough for the trio to move on.
“Good news guys! The next bit is going to be of musical origin. They want you to illustrate and sing some lines through a few of last years highlights.” The Rock’s announcement had different effects on both the primes. The corner’s of Mickey's mouth reached up to his ears while Kanda’s eyes narrowed at the walking sack of muscles.
Dwayne did not get a chance to elaborate, Yu stepped up and interrupted him,“You’re kidding right? You’re telling me we have to actually sing in this shit? What string will they pull next...shall I start dancing like a monkey as well?” Sarcasm dripped off of every word the exorcist spat The Rock’s way. He stepped towards the movie-star, chest forward and hand on sword. Kanda’s body language may have worked on others, however, this was Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. The bald-headed icon took two steps before towering over the young prime.
“Don’t worry so much Kanda.” A ‘pat' on the shoulder almost knocked the swordsman on his ass. “ First we will have Mickey’s solo while the two of us have a little chat. After that, it’s your time to shine.”
“I get a solo?!”
“You sure do buddy.” Dwayne combined the old’ finger gun with his charismatic wink. “Just head over to the stage, your outfit is ready.” Before even finishing the sentence Mickey was already well on his way.
Kanda followed Dwayne to a seating area located near the stage. The wrestling champ sat down on one of the cushion couches, tapping the spot next to him, like a predator luring his victim, but in a comfortable way. Yu sat down. His body sank deep in the couch cushions. While the duo watched Mickey struggle to get the costume on Dwayne started talking in a more serious tone of voice, “Alright, real-talk bro. What's with the anger issues?”
Kanda avoided the eye contact the mountain of a man was seeking, “I don't know how that's any of your business? I've always dealt with issues how I see fit.” An ice-cold tone expressed.
The Rock sighed and leaned forward, “Look, pal, I get it. We all have a darkness inside of us. But this isn't the way. Continue on this path and you will only alienate yourself from people, becoming yourself what you are fighting so hard to destroy.” A soothing, deep voice emphasized the inspirational words. Yu looked over. His silence said more than any amount of words could describe.
“Looking good over there Mick!” Dwayne shouted followed with a broad white-teeth smile and a thumbs up. Mickey waved as he finally put on the latex Majin costume “You see that little mouse over there. He barely reaches my waste, but he fights like a bear when it comes to facing evil. Its because he fights with his heart. He surrounds himself with people he cares about and helps him in his darkest hour. Listen to him Kanda, follow his ways during these matches, and who knows...you just might see the light.” The exorcist remained silent. A lot of information was being processed.
“So- what does all of that have to do with what's going on over here?”
“Everything, Kanda. See it as partner bonding. I tell you what, participate in this and I will tell you how I got this strong.” Dwayne got up and bounced his pecs up and down before moving the show along, “Time to roll people!”
Mickey put down the script and started running on a treadmill while the background was flashing by. The cheerful mouse started singing from the top of his longues, “~Beeeeeefooooore I was a champion, I ran and ran and ran. ~Cardio is my friend as I rush through the lands because I can. ~I hunt the special drops and collect the items whole. ~Become stronger stronger stronger, find new friends along, I was on a roll. When all of this is over, I’ll be a champion strong.~I am the fuuuuuuutureeeeee warriooooor!!” Mickey roared as he portrayed last years abyss champion in Syntechs musical. It was going to be a long night.
***
Mickey snorted when Kanda came out of the dressing room wearing a bat costume. “Who are you supposed to be?!”
“Hell if I know.” The swordsman grunted, “Some chump who got his ass kicked probably.”
Not far behind him, Mr.Johnson exited his changing room. Blond wig and bandana covered his previous bald head. Long earlobe prosthetics attached to his ears, a long wide mc-hammer looking pants and a golden bo staff in hand. “I am the God of thunder and lightning! Kneel before me, mortals!”
The mouse lost it and continued laughing his ass off, “I don’t know who that is supposed to represent but you look amazing!” The Rock grinned in response.
“Oh hell no, I am doing what now?!” Kanda dropped the script on the stone floor before eyeing his scene partner. His face was that of a dentist-patient waiting to get his teeth pulled out.
“AAAAAAND ACTION!”
Kanda struggled his way through waist-high swamp water, while Dwayne sat high and dry...on Yu’s back. The music que’d his singing, “~Oooooh I am the god of thunder, everyone does my biddin’. ~I am simply the gift that keeps on givin’. ~My loyal chump carries me around. ~Untill champion I am crooooowned.”
Kanda continued to struggle, pushing forward through the mudwater with the massive man as a passenger. The displeasing expression was well covered by the black mask. Though his voice said it all when his lines finally came up, “ ~I am the chump that was used for his pleasure. ~Carrying his Godness to the damned treasure.”
The things Yu did to find out Dwayne’s secrets should never be mentioned, ever again.
“What do you want?” The mouse snorted, “ Leave me alone Kanda, I am done with these amateurs. They don’t even know how to treat a real movie star.” A deep sigh followed as the depressed mouse rested his head on top of his hands.

Be a man for once.”
Mickey’s eyes widened as never seen by Kanda before. Veins were visibly bulging on the exorcist’s temples. “But I’m not a man,... I’m a mou-”
