[Disclaimer : This story is a work of fiction. Any resemblance with personage both living and dead is obviously deliberate (duh). But of course, The author still doesn't take any responsibility for any lawsuit that might follow] The Showdown in NUF Town The NUF Town, a Frontier Town in the middle of nowhere. A Town where the strong prey upon the weak, a Town where all kinds of perverts lurks in its alleys, a Town where life is cheaper than a bullet. This Town was such a lawless place. Today is just like any normal day in the NUF town, but then something happened. It all started inside a Rundown Tavern. ............................... "You what!?" "Just like I said, I'm called Toni in my Village" The small numbers of Tavern customers looked at the source of the yelling. There standing behind the counter is the proprietress of this tavern, @LivingCorpse The one who replied calmly, sitting in front of the desk counter, @Nom de Plume the local Law Enforcement. "But if you're also a Tony then what would happen to Tony?!" "Like I said, it's Toni not Tony" "It's the same thing!" The customer quickly lose interest on what they are talking. Meanwhile the two of them continued talking. "Did Tony knew about this?" "Yep" "What did he said?" "He said, "Well it's nice meeting you Toni. Wow that's so weird. It feels like I'm greeting myself" ...something like that" "Stupid Tony, don't he knew what it means to have two Tony in this small town..." The door suddenly flew open. There a man was standing on the entrance. He was @Tony dressed in a Cowboy attire. He also the local Law Enforcement here. "Howdy everyone!" Tony greeted the customer inside the Tavern, but he was ignored. Silence followed for a second. But Tony is Tony, he didn't care about that. He keep smiling and walked grandly towards the counter, but still, no one pay him any attention. He might looked okay, but deep inside he must be hurt... probably. Seeing that scene, the two in the counter feel pity towards him. Livingcorpse even wiped the tears that formed in the corner of her eye. Meanwhile Nom de Plume smiled wryly seeing him. "Hey you two. What are you all talking about?" "Ah, Tony! Perfect time!" Livingcorpse suddenly lean closer towards Tony while pointing to Nom de Plume. "Hey, Tony! Did you know that Nom de Plume is also called Toni?" "Uh... yeah I knew... why?" "You stupid! How could you be calm!?" "Why!?" "Sigh... Tony let me tell you something..." Livingcorpse then started to explain. "You see Tony, the name Tony is like your trademark in this town. I mean among the Sheriff here, yours is the most normal sounding one. But that what makes it unique! It's your own personal characteristic! It's your traits! I mean look, for example, Casul got his casual style, Parth is the strict workaholic guy, and Shio has this scary Onee-san vibe! While you? What you got?" "Umm... I got... my name?" "Exactly!" "But it just having a same name right? It's not like something bad could happen..." "You fool!" Livingcorpse slapped Tony and he fall down to the floor. He looked at Livingcorpse with teary eyes while holding his slapped cheek. "Why you slapped me!?" Livingcorpse then pulled out a smoking pipe out of nowhere. After that she started staring at the distance, her face looks like reminiscing the past. "Fuu... y'see Tony. There was this story that happens a long time ago... Once upon a time, there was this boring kid. That kid is awkward and has no redeeming traits, but still the kid has some friend. Then one day, another kid with the same name transferred to the boring kid class. The new kid is cool, and popular. Before long, the new kid became friends with everyone. Since the new kid started to hang out with everyone in class, our boring kid started to be called with just "You" by everyone since it was confusing and even the kid few friends started to do so too. Slowly everyone started to forget the boring kid name and then, they forgot the kid existence. In the end the kid died in solitude, in the hand of Santa Claus." Livingcorpse then put down her smoking pipe and stared at Tony. "Such a sad story...*sniff*" Tony started to wipe his tears and runny nose. "So that's why Tony! That kid could be you! If there's another Tony in this place, your existence might be forgotten!" "Oh God!" "Isn't he already started getting forgotten just now?" Tony then stand up and pointed his hand towards Nom de Plume. "Nom de Plume, I challenge you to a showdown. The winner will have the right to the name of Tony!" "Sure, I don't really care." "But we are doing this tomorrow! It's almost night, a good kid must sleep at this time! So with that, Good Night!" Tony grandly walked to the outside. The Tavern then becomes noisy and everyone started to make ruckus. Rumors then started to spread around. In the morning, people started to talk about the showdown. People even started taking bets. And then comes the Afternoon. ........................... "It almost 12 am" "That's right..." In the middle of the town. With a large clock tower overlooking the scene, Nom de Plume stand in the middle of the road. On her side is Livingcorpse, waiting for the other party. "He sure is taking his time" "He sure is..." In the barren road, dust started to get blown by the wind. There are no people in sight. But if one looks closely, a lot of the residents was peeking through the window of their home. "There just 15 minutes left..." "...Wait is that?" Suddenly, a shadow of a person started to appear in the cloud of dust. "Heh... it's about time Tony..." The cloud of dust started to subsidize, then the shadow show itself. "You sure taken a long time To... ny?" But what appears from the Shadow isn't Tony it was @qzty the panda who is Tony's henchmen... err henchpanda. "Qzty, what are you doing here? Where's Tony?" Livingcorpse asked Qzty. Qzty then answered her questions. "The Boss isn't here. This morning, Boss asked me to give you a message from him. He said, [Now that I think about it, I'm the one in charge of everything in this Town. I could just made everyone can't use the name Tony in their NUF Citizenship ID didn't I? Wow, I'm a genius! That's why, the showdown is cancelled, sorry guys. LOL] ...that is what he said." The two of them was speechless. "...Well that sounds like Tony alright." "Tony... After making all that ruckus in my store, he just cancelled it!? Unforgivable! Where is him now? I'll drag him here!" Livingcorpse then angryly made his way to Tony's house, Nom de Plume and Qzty looked towards each other and decided to follow her just in case. The three of them then arrived in front of Tony's house. *bam* *bam* *bam* Livingcorpse, started to violently banging his door. "Oii! Tony, open up! Explain all of this!" "Just leave him alone Livingcorpse, why are you so fixated on this showdown anyway?" "Of course I would! I bet 10.000 Nuffies for Tony's defeat after all!" "Wait? You bet for Boss defeat!?" They stand in front of the door for sometime, but there's no answer. "Is he not home?" "Tsk! He's probably hiding." "Hey the door isn't locked" The three of them then entered the house. Inside was empty. But something is wrong. The place looks messy, there was a sign of someone broke into the house. "Is it a robbery?" "Everyone, look at what I found" Nom de Plume showed a piece of paper on her hand. It was a paper that uses newspaper cut out letter for its message, it said. [YouR ToNY is NO mOre, I aLReady KidNapPED HIM. From NoW on He wiLL be mY BRIde. FRom @Das the KID] "..." "..." "BOSS!!!" Qzty quickly dashed outside and rode his horse. "Sigh... what a troublesome boss." Nom de Plume unenthusiastically followed qzty. "Haa... I guess I should forgo my plan to renovate the second floor" Livingcorpse then closed the door and head towards her Tavern. Such is one of the countless story in this savage town. A Town where the strong prey upon the weak, a Town where all kinds of perverts lurks in its alleys, a Town where life is cheaper than a bullet. This is NUF Town. This town was such a fun lawless place. The End (?) ........................................................ Just like what you asked @Nom de Plume I already write something. This is the best that I could come up with.
Dun worry Gege! Even if other Tony's appear, I won't forget you!! And I won't be saving you from @Das because I can pull you atop his head by shrinking you! We can build a house and @Little Dragon, you, me, the children everyone'll move in! <3
