The Journey to 15,000 - Part 1

[Mugen]

On a bright sunny day in New York City, we find The Lord of the Lariat, The Suplex Savior, The Messiah of the Multiverse, The Baron of Benevolence, The Emperor of the Enzuguri, Future Goodest Person on Planet Earth, Mugen making the rounds with his clipboard and his I’m A Good Person shirt at the food festival he created. 

 

He personally curated some of his favorite restaurants in NYC to join forces with his restaurant, Sakuraba’s to create “The Best Food Festival For All People That’s Free Because It’s The Right Thing To Do Festival”

We see tents from places like Carbone, Jungsik, Blue Ribbon Chicken, and many more as Mugen, all smiles, is seen talking and collecting signatures from those in attendance.

 

Mugen (thinking to himself): Today is going to be a good day for the signature collecting. RIght after Lution, I had 69 signatures. I think we were counting 143 a few days ago. This festival idea was GENIUS. I might leave the day with 1000, easily.

 

Just as Mugen is soaking in the good vibes and thinking about how easy this might be to get to his goal of 15,000. He hears a commotion at a nearby stall. He jogs over to check out what’s going on and is very concerned when he sees his Head of Security, Graham Greene III holding a short Asian man by his shirt collar. The short man’s legs dangling and swinging only adds to the ridiculousness of the situation without any context.

 

Mugen: GRAHAM! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

 

GGIII: Oi bossman, this nutter had himself 3 servings of the sushi here and was in line for a 4th.

 

Mugen: SO? It’s all you can eat!

 

GGIII: But bossman, I ain’t even have one yet and mans over here gonna have 4.

 

Mugen: SO?! GET IN LINE! YOU DON’T HAVE TO YANK THIS POOR GUY UP IN THE AIR.

 

GGIII looks in disgust at the man he yoked up and lets him back on his feet. The angry man now directs his attention at Mugen.

 

Angry Short Man: Mr. Larry Mugen, I do not appreciate how I was treated at this festival right now. 

 

Mugen feels his nose start to sting from a foul odor that he can’t figure out what it is.

 

Angry Short Man: Did you know I have a YouTube channel with over 2 million subscribers?

 

Mugen finally realizes the smell is coming from the short YouTuber and starts to look at him with disgust.

Mugen: And how many of those were bought? Wait a second, I know you. Isn’t your viewership going down too?

 

Angry Short Man: I will have none of that slander be used against me, these are all false allegations! All created by THE COMMUNISTS!

 

The Angry Short Man now pulls out the ring light attachment to his camera and shines it in Mugen’s direction. Now even more annoyed, Mugen starts trying to block the light but it keeps getting moved into his face.

 

Mugen: Jesus Christ, can you just get that light out of my face.

 

Angry Short Man: Don’t like it when the spotlights on you? Huh? Huh?

 

Mugen: I swear……

 

Angry Short Man: What? I thought you were a good person now.

 

The man pokes the shirt and without even a second to think Mugen reacts by pushing the little man who ends up going flying with his camera and bulky backpack.

 

Mugen: YOU STINK, I CAN’T LET YOU GET CLOSE!

 

A gasp comes from the crowd that has now gathered as the YouTuber is trying to regain his bearings. His camera now has a broken lens, his shirt has somehow ripped and his backpack looks soaked in some liquid that must have exploded inside.

 

Angry Short Man: You will hear from my lawyer! Good Person my ass!

 

Mugen sighs as he looks at the crowd who have been recording this incident on their phones the whole time.

 

Mugen: Maybe these signatures are not going to be that easy……..

 

The scene fades away as Mugen tries to figure out how to sort the situation out with the attendees.
