The Glory Games (REVITALIZED!)

Chapter 2 Part 2: The Interviews

The trip from the arcade to the Death Star was long, but relatively peaceful, according to Alexis. Now, all the contestants, mentors and a multitude of fans gathered in what looked like the largest room in the entire planet-destroyer, a gigantic auditorium and at the front was a podium where it was apparent that someone would come up to speak. There were so many viewers and participants coming to the Glory Games that the room was filled to the max in under five minutes. Then, a man in an all-black armored suit wearing a face mask introduced himself as the one and only Darth Vader, and went on to announce all the names of the participants, Alexis's pride swelled as she heard her name along with her sister's being called. After his eternity-long speech, he dismissed everyone to get ready for the interviews that would be taking place on the forest moon of Endor, and to dress appropriately for the occasion. Alexis turned to her mother. "What are we gonna wear?" "Something I think is going to get you two betted on." She replied. "It's not a dress, right? Please tell me it isn't a dress!" Sasha whined as they made their way to one of the many private dressing rooms located on the Death Star Darth Vader mentioned in his speech. "Do you really think I'd have the heart to put you two into identical, matching, pink, poofy nightmares!? Use your head." Tamora squalled. "Yessss!" Sasha hissed softly. "Here, take these, you're going to wear them for the interview." Tamora handed Saha and Alexis their battle suits and sent them off to get changed. Fifteen minutes later, they came out. "Now that's what I would bet on!" Tamora remarked as they stepped out of the white, bleached bathroom. ALL CONTESTANTS PLEASE REPORT TO THE SPACE POD LAUNCHERS, I REPEAT, ALL CONTESTANTS PLEASE REPORT TO THE SPACE POD LAUNCHERS, came a droning, monotone female voice out of the P.A. "That's your cue." Tamora remarked as her and the girls made it over to the pods. Half a minute later, they arrived on the forest moon. "Sound tough, okay? I'll bet you everyone else is way weaker than you too. I love you both, make me proud!" "We will!" Sasha and Alexis chimed in unison. The interviews were being held in a large, silver dome and were being broadcasted all over the galaxy. First went a small, nervous brunette, who shakily introduced herself as Violet Fitzherbert, accompanied by her partner, a stocky blonde boy named Connor Hershel and her father, a man named Eugene. About half an hour later, it was time for the Fix-it sisters to take the stage. "Hello, my name is Kramer Swavarski, and who might I have the pleasure of interviewing?" The reporter asked. "Sasha and Alexis Fix-it." Alexis said before Sasha could open her mouth. "I take it that you two are twins?" "Gee, how did you guess?" Sasha rolled her eyes. "I see. How are you feeling about the games?" "There's no doubt we're going to win, we've got more experience than anyone here." Sasha continued. "Yes, that's true folks," Kramer said, facing the camera. "Girls' mother is a sergeant. Now, where are you from?" "Game Central Station." Alexis said in her best imitation of a good girl. "Hey, thanks for joining us this evening, Sasha and Alexis," Kramer said, signaling the girls to leave. When they left the room, Kramer turned back to the taper. "I'm sure those two are going to be the crowd favorites by far. They're the toughest pair I've seen so far! All right, this is Kramer Swavarski signing off for our first break of the evening. Like Kryptonite6 on Critter. We'll be back after these messages."
