10 INTO THE GENIE-VERSE

With the after-effects of Morgan's heroic battle, still simmering in Genie's online chat room. Genie decided it was about time for him to make an announcement, well... THE announcement of his VRMMO game. His human half was getting impatient and Genie also knew that after releasing this game, he would be at peace for a long while.

"Ahem~" Genie coughed to gather the attention of the camera on him.

"I don't think I've fully introduced myself yet. Have I?" Genie asked the Chibi Genie holding the camera.

"No boss, the world wants to know who you are!" Chibi Genie cameraman exclaims.

"You're right!" Genie snaps his fingers, enlightened about his next plan.

But before he brought the camera to appear at his building in new york, he was stopped by a grateful-looking Aunt June. She had a soft smile on her face holding out her hand for a handshake.

"Thank you. I don't think I've ever seen him smile like that." Aunt June confessed, smiling.

"It's nothing." Genie smiled back, shaking her hand, and then poofing away with the cameraman Genie.

...

Genie Tower, New York.

Genie appeared on the roof of his building with the camera focused on him.

"Now, first things first introductions... introductions," Genie muttered absentmindedly while pacing back and forth.

But suddenly Genie's head started to turn metallic and his head crashed into the ground like added weight.

"Huh?! Are you okay boss?" Chibi Cameraman Genie said from behind the camera.

"Ugh~ I think I'm sick" Genie lifted his silver-skinned head back up from the ground and balanced himself with his hands.

*Poof*

A Doctor Genie wearing a set of scrubs took out a stethoscope, checking Genie's heartbeat.

"Hmm, yep... oh no... yep" Doctor Genie muttered out loud.

"What is it doc, give it to me straight!" Genie pleaded anxiously.

Doctor Genie took a glance at a clipboard in his hand seemingly going through his notes.

"Well, I'm sorry to tell you this... but it seems you have the signs and symptoms already apparent." Doctor Genie stated seriously.

"And?!" Genie asked.

"Well, you've got a case of 'metal head'. " Doctor Genie said, writing notes on his pad.

"NOOOOO~" Genie screamed anxiously.

"It's okay! It's not permanent! As long as you get it all out of your system, your head should return back to normal soon." Doctor Genie consoled Genie gently.

"But Doc!" Genie protested Doctor Genie's suggestion.

"No buts! I prescribe that you get it out of your system as soon as possible." Doctor Genie replied sternly.

"I've got somewhere to be." Doctor Genie states, before poofing away.

"Well you heard the Genie everyone... doctor's orders." Genie shrugged looking at the camera, pulling out the electric guitar again.

"Now see, most people think of me as a villain, but you don't seem to understand who I am~ Let me break it down for everyone out there, who's never met a guy like me." Genie smiles

"This one is a classic. " Chibi Cameraman Genie comments from behind the camera.

(AN: I have to add this song in because it is such a classic genie. There are slight changes to the song to match the occasion. Jonathan Young is really talented.)

(Disney's Aladdin - "FRIEND LIKE ME" (Metal Cover by Jonathan Young))

Well, Ali Baba had them forty thieves

Scheherazade had a thousand tales

But, guys, you in luck 'cause, up my sleeves

I got a brand of magic never fails

Theres some power in your world now

Some heavy ammunition in your camp

You got some punch, pizzazz, yahoo, and how?

See, all you gotta do is find a token, and I'll say

"Mister, sir, what will your pleasure be?"

Let me take your order, jot it down (Genie is taking an order)

You ain't never had a friend like me!

Life is your restaurant and I'm your maitre d'

Come on, whisper what it is you want

You ain't never had a friend like me

Yes, we pride ourselves on service

You're the boss, the king, the shah! (Genie takes a hapless homeless man, and changes him into a regal-looking king.)

Say what you wish, it's yours, true dish

How 'bout a little more baklava?

Have some of column A, try all of column B

I'm in the mood to help you, dude

You ain't never had a friend like me

Wah-ah-ah! Oh, woah~

Wah-ah-ah! Ah-ta-da-da-da~

Wah-ah-ah! oh, no~

Can your friends do this? (Genie making magic fireworks shoot out from his guitar as he solos)

Can your friends do that? (Genie making the sky change colors with each beat of the drum solo)

Can your friends pull this (Genie pulls All Might out of a hat, before putting him back quickly. -All Might was surprised-)

Out their little hat?

Can your friends go boom!? (Genie's face poofs and appears on the sun)

Hey, looky here, ha-ha! (Genie's face on the sun starts to sing too)

Can your friends go, "Abracadabra, let 'er rip"

And then make the sucker disappear? (Genie changes the sun back to normal)

So, don't 'cha sit there slack-jawed, buggy-eyed

I'm here to answer all your midday prayers (Genie makes a praying posture)

You got me bona fide, certified (Genie holds up a diploma for genie studies)

You got a genie for your charge d'affaires

I got a powerful urge to help you out

What's your wish? I really wanna know (Genie is listening to himself)

You got a list that's three miles long, no doubt (Genie makes a crowd of clones of himself filling three miles of new york)

Well, all you gotta do is wish like so, oh~ (All the Genie's in the street shout hey-oh at the same time)

Mister, sir, have a wish or two or three (Genie points tot he sky and makes a Godzilla with a Genie face, then he makes the statue of liberty dance next to him, and finally changes the stars in the sky into flashing strobe lights.)

I'm on the job, you big nabob (Dancing Genie makes an entrance by sliding on his knees of a long carpet in front of the camera)

You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend (Genie rocks out)

You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend (Statue of Liberty joins in, while Godzilla Genie roars)

You ain't never had a friend like me (The three miles of Genie's shout as well)

Yaaaa-ow!

You ain't never had a friend like me, ha! (All the Genie's pose together in front of the camera, as Genie flips one of his Genie tokens in his hand stylishly.)

*Poof*

The Genie's that had caused a bunch of chaos just disappeared as quick as they came, while the real Genie was in front of the camera with a big smile on his face.

"Ah~ That felt much better" He states satisfied while moving his neck around. The 'metal head' condition seemed to have receded.

Genie looked back at the stream camera and paused. He snapped his fingers and a big chart appeared behind him.

"Now listen up folks, 'cause I'll only say this once. I'm long passed the issue of forced wish granting. However, there is one exception." Genie made a constipated face, before shaking his head.

"Normally I have rules, I don't like granting certain wishes. And I don't like adults because they are boring. However! I decided to make my new game a bit more interesting. Let me reiterate! I don't do this for anyone by myself!" Genie clearly pointed to a picture of himself on the chart behind him.

He was acting as if he was a university professor teaching a class of students. And he was indeed doing this only for himself, specifically his human half. His human half always had a dream of giving adventure and wonder to those who once lost it. And he could ensure that to the best if he gave everyone a common goal.

"I infused a single unrestrained wish in this token in my hand. I can't control what it grants and neither can the person who uses it." Genie warned seriously.

"It will grant your deepest desire. There are no limits." Genie explained.

"Now! Where and how can I get this wish Genie?! You must be asking."

"In 3 days, I will be releasing the single greatest game ever made. A little place I call, The Genie-Verse. And only adults above the age of 18 can enter." Genie advertised his new game, flipping his presentation to the next chart.

"Be warned, you have one life inside the Genie-Verse. So play well." Genie said, smiling.

"And finally let me address the elephant in the room," Genie said, glancing at a large elephant behind him.

*Elephant noises*

"No, not that elephant!" Genie exclaimed, poofing the elephant away.

"All of your agencies, hidden societies, villains, and schemers who are hiding in the cracks of this world. I want to address you." Genie smiled.

"You want my power? Go find it. Here's your chance. But you only. get. one. chance." Genie stated slowly.

"I declare the age of the pirates- I mean the age of the Genie-Verse! Started!" Genie laughed happily, already feeling a wave of peace from his human half settling inside himself.

Genie ended his stream.

...

Genie appeared sitting in his comfortable red chair in his office, relaxing in it, when he suddenly remembered something.

"Oh right! I should send out some random invitations. I can't just limit myself to this world. " Genie muttered, making 10 packages with a Genie face logo on them.

"Whoever be worthy, whoever has a desire, a wish, an impossible hope in their hearts. Find them." Genie muttered while sprinkling magic on the packages, making them poof out of existence.

...

A Certain City, A Certain Apartment in the Multiverse.

"Hey, Genos... did you order anything?" A bald man questioned, looking at a package with a stupid-looking expression on his face.

(AN: What did you think?)
