“SON OF A MILF,” Nikki yelled, seriously super peeved off. She pounded her fist against her bed sheets. “I knew it! There’s something going on!” But what could she do? She thought to herself, and looked down - there was a piece of paper in her bed. It was the list of names!
But she didn’t know what the list exactly was for. She noticed her name on there, most of her friends, some near-strangers, and even...
“Thanks?” Nikki’s brain was trying. It really was. She thought, she sorta remembered... before all the haze... this might be a list of victims. These could be all the other people that were being reset, just like her. “But Thanks never remembers it when I ask her...” Nikki moaned, disappointed.
She might as well check again, walking over to her roommate’s bedroom door, asking, “Hey, Thanks? Anything weird happening to you?”
The birdy sat up, looking around their room, trying to notice if anything was off. “Uh, no... I don’t think so, dude.”
“No weird dreams? No fights? I wasn’t in them or anything?” Nikki realized how weird she was starting to sound.
“Did you, uh... want me to dream about you?” Thanks awkwardly asked.
“You don’t have to, it’s fine...” the tanuki huffed and sat on the ground. “Can you come with me to the tournament early? There’s something I need your help with...”
Despite not wanting to even go to the tournament, Thanks yet again, agreed. “Of course, Nikki. What’s wrong?” The two got ready to head out, and Nikki told Thanks everything that had gone on so far.
“Really?” Thanks was surprised - not at all aware of any battles or resets. “That’s crazy,” they chuckled, before patting on top of Nikki’s head, “but I believe you.”
“You always believe me when I tell you.” Nikki paused for a moment. Despite every reset being different, some things were constant. Thanks always believed her crazy stories, and most recently, helped protect her, and fight with her.
“I’m glad I do. I always want to.” Thanks felt a little proud.
Even if Nikki was alone in this, having Thanks’s trust made her feel less nuts.
As Thanks and Nikki arrived at the stadium, both their wands ready for whatever was ahead, they saw the long dog’s spirit on top of the stadium’s roof. Her back was facing them. The ghost turned their head to look at them for a moment, before turning away.
“Do you think that’s it up there?” Thanks cautiously checked.
“I don’t know...” Nikki froze. She thought back - she could remember talking with someone in this place... but she didn’t know who it was she talked with.
Dawn let her body fall backwards off the top of the roof - slowly floating down, her body limp and noodly. She was dreading having to approach these two again.
“I’m sorry...” Dawn began, “Please. Don’t be mad.”
“Sorry that you’re caught,” Nikki huffed, in a world of her own misunderstanding. Nikki and Thanks pointed their wands at Dawn, blasting harsh light towards her body. Dawn curled her body close to dodge it and dashed into the air. The pair kept trying to attack Dawn, who kept dodging their hits. She wasn’t fighting back.
“Are you going to keep sending me back!?” Nikki yelled up at the ghost.
“It is what! You! Wanted!” Dawn gasped. She could have said no, but it wasn’t the case. There were so many things she wanted to say. She wasn’t exactly in power any more, the rules were already decided. “Use the list. To stop it. It is tied. To the reset.”
“That list?” Nikki thought, searching her empty pockets. “Noooo! I left it at home...” It was really easy to forget important things back at home. A truly human experience, this was a large part of what contributed to all problems in this society of animals.
“Please. Get the list.” Dawn begged.
“And do what?” Nikki shot back.
“Make each one... Happy.” Dawn started to drift away, “I will not. Reset you. If you. Make them happy.” The dog was getting hard to see as they flew up higher like a lost balloon, “You and I. We are friends.”
Thanks and Nikki looked at each other. That was a lot of serious stuff! And seriously vague.
“We don’t have to bang everyone on the list, do we dude?” Thanks wondered.
“Maybe that’d be the fastest way to make everyone happy...” Nikki humored her idea, “but your name’s on the list too. I ain’t touchin’ that.”
The two travelled back to Thanks’s home to get the list. After looking through all the names on it, they realized this might be an easy task.
“Most these animals are involved with the boxing competition...” Nikki realized. “So at least we’ll be working all in one area.”
“It might not be an easy task,” Thanks thought, “if they’re all in the competition, they all probably want to win. But since only one person can win, we can’t make them all happy.” Nevermind. Now they realized, it wouldn’t be easy.
“Well, maybe most of them care about things other than boxing. I bet there’s something more important to them.” Nikki grinned, “Besides, some of them aren’t even in the competition.” Now it was starting to sound easy again.
“But what if we have to make them join the competition and win?” Thanksalot made this hard again. “You have to do it one person at a time and then reset, right? Or do you have to squeeze in everyone being happy all in the same tournament somehow?”
“I don’t know which of those sounds worse.” Nikki folded up the list, “But I know how to start this!”
Nikki and Thanks set up a video booth to interview people on their list one by one. Their plan was to find out who was supposed to win the competition, and as a back up, what would make them happy even if they lost.
The two of them sat in the booth together, testing out the camera.
“Let’s start with the easiest two,” Nikki stated. She sat up straight and puffed out her chest, “Me and you!”
“You and I,” Thanks corrected her.
“It would make me happy if you let I speech the ways me want to talks.”
“It’d make my ears happy if you didn’t talks that way, dude,” Thanks huffed.
“It’d make this dude happy if you didn’t say ‘dude’ so much.”
“It’d make me happy if you shut your face!” Thanks yelled, before the two started to look sad. “Oh, I went too far. I’m so sorry.”
“I’m sorry too,” Nikki leaned in and hugged her.
“I’m the sorriest mother fucker.” Thanks pat on her back.
“WOW, watch your language,” Nikki gasped, covering her little ears. “We’re on camera for Fuxie’s sake. Aaaanyway! We have to decide what would make us happy if we won or lost the competition. At this point, I’d like to be out of the reset, whether I win or lose. I honestly don’t care about winning, so I don’t think I’m supposed to win.” Nikki looked over at Thanks, “How about you?”
Thanks put her wing to her beak in thought. “If I win... I’d probably buy more stuff for my witchcraft with the money. But...” she looked over to Nikki, “I really care more about waking up my tanuki pet... and, still being close with you!”
“Oh,” Nikki looked down. “Thanks, I’m sorry.” They had a bit of a complex situation - the truth behind Nikki. Thanks had a pet tanuki at her home, but the tanuki got hurt. She didn’t die, but she wasn’t responsive. Thanks used her witchcraft to try and wake up her unconscious pet, but it failed. Then she got the spirit of a friend, Nishidor, to enter the tanuki’s body and try to wake her, but it didn’t work. So, Nishidor has been staying in the tanuki’s body ever since, hoping one day the animal would wake up again. Nishidor insisted everyone calls them by the tanuki’s name, Nikki, so the animal would have an easier time adjusting when she wakes up again.
However, once the tanuki wakes up, Nishidor will leave their body, and Thanks won’t have them as a living friend anymore. What she truly wanted was to have both of them in her life. It wasn’t something that Boxer Beats could fix.
“One idea I had,” the tanuki started, “was that if I compete, and get hit in the head really hard, it could wake her up again.”
“It’s okay, Nishidor.” Thanks closed her eyes, “We’ll figure it out eventually. But first I want to help you out of this reset. We’ll worry about Nikki after.”
“Let’s brighten things up and interview someone funny!” the little tanuki grinned and held up the list. “I’ll even let you pick.”
“SON OF A MILF,” Nikki yelled, seriously super peeved off. She pounded her fist against her bed sheets. “I knew it! There’s something going on!” But what could she do? She thought to herself, and looked down - there was a piece of paper in her bed. It was the list of names!

Ah! So this is how Nishidor became the Fruity Tanooki! Though Nishidor's spirit definitely is an omnipresent one, I have a strong feeling that Thanks would really prefer to have her friend in immortality regain his lovable physical physique. especially as he lost it through doing playfully noble causes.
I like the idea of the two interviewing each of the people on the list to see what matters most to each. We know Stan doesn't want to win and that Chris may be impartial if they won, or lost. Goatella doesn't seem like she is much caring for winning as much as just having some fun. Perhaps the MILF is there to make sure Aro doesn't get hurt in his role as a referee? He is a fragile one and only Goatella is allowed to handle such fragile merchandise. :)
Kiwi cares about Chris. So, ultimately, I think Kiwi would be happy if Chris was happy. We already know what Ready is looking for from the flash comic. Horn Grabber, Anger mouse, and Fuxie would want to win. However, for Fuxie, she isn't one to enjoy losing. So she'd want to win because, well, losing sucks for someone who has a previous reputation of kicking butt and not even bothering to pretend she might have any gum to chew as an alternative.
Dr. Ama and Yuaad are a mystery, Gaydar is one whose true motives seem to not align with winning, Nishi is, to me, more there for the 'eye candy' than the fight, and then we have yet to really know '2'.
I know I root for Macaroni but I genuinely can't tell if she is looking to win, or not. She may be trying to prove something as a GMILF, looking for one big thrill to show she's still got it at her ripe old age, or maybe she wants to see if she can match the attractiveness of MILF, Goatella?
***
Dawn has had it rough since working to make everything happen. However dawn has not given up and, soon, she'll see her patience will be rewarded to get an outcome that even she wants.
Oh, yeah! Don Badge and Lesbuni appear more into who will end up with Anomolly / Foxy than a victory. Foxy is just having fun and, of the trio, I only see Lesbuni looking to win to show some hardcore 'Girl Power!'.
***
The image I see here is Nikki and Thanks at their interview stand appearing to be in a deep conversation. Perhaps someone is waiting for the interview opportunity and wondering why they are being ignored by the two as they bicker over Nikki's language?

Haha oh yeah, I was gonna include the lil bit of interview and Nikki stuff for the next post, but otherwise this part seemed kinda less exciting and silly or eventful without it. Though I worried it might also be too long! Either way, hopefully the Nikki info added a bit more to it than just another reset of a lot of similar things. ;P
And more interviews like that'll be what's up next! This is actually more where the flash and story sync up again - someone else mentioned they missed how the start of the flash had this part with everyone together, it's just taken a while to get there! And you're right - these characters all had lives before the boxing tournament, and only a few of them are really boxers, so whether they win or don't, there should be ways most of them can be happy. You have a good understanding of everyone! Hehe, when we last left off with Dr. Ama and Yuaad, it seemed like a happy ending, so until we're really updated on who they are and what's going on now, it'd be hard knowing just what they could be after. Macaroni I'm sure would love to win! Well, then again she did quit early - but her chapter should show how she got in and what's up with her life. (:
As I go through the story again, I kinda hope I can improve Lesbuni's story! Maybe it just follows up a really good one so it's a bit harder, but you know just what kind of issues can be anticipated between her, Don Badge, and Foxy!
Hehe, this image is actually more what you predicted with the last chapter! Nikki and Thanksalot using their wands to fight against Dawn - standing together on the left, pointing their staffs in the air, and a nervous Dawn avoiding their attacks - and in the bottom right corner, we have a little preview of Nikki after her accident at Thanks's - just a normal tanuki unconscious on the floor. As the interviews continue, I'm sure the next thumbnail art'll have that in it!
Thanks again for all your feedback Yosh. :3 *Snugs!* Haha I've been kinda wondering if there are other good furry writing sites out there to post these on, but I think there's just the Pony fiction site you use, and there used to be a big Fanfiction website out there, but I guess original writing might not match there!

I think So Furry may still be out there for story posts. There is also one, I think, called 'Watpad'? I think Writing.com is still going and I know I recently read stories sent to me from Plinkers and Conflicted from Google Docs.
Perhaps one of these could turn out to be a fun place to share your epic tale?

It's nice thinking back on all the characters who are meant to make their updated, or first, appearances in The Boxer Beats tournament. In a way, I think you more than doubled your cast of 'Nishiverse' characters in developing the Boxer Briefs to Beats tournament.
It is also important to remember that not every chapter in a story can ever be a super-duper-cool one. You need ones, like this, to ground the reader into knowing how, amidst all the fun, there really is something serious going on amidst the silly stuff.
A lot of people may not want to read every little bit to get the whole story, see my views for Creative Campaign 2, but it is an important story to you, to me, and to all those who are liking to see how your characters are far from 'one-dimensional'. It's rough to create fan art, fan stories, etc. without getting to know these extra details to show how the characters have all had a past, present, and future. :)
What I like most of this story is how it is a chance to genuinely meet another major player who can influence the world you've created. This being Thanksalot. She has had a few pictures posted over the years with a little bit of background. However she is now getting her chance to show herself just as Nishidor did in 'Legend Of Zelda: AMILF'.

These weekly updates are great and offer something good to look forward to. Also, and this is headcanon all the way, I see Yosh being a bit clingy to Macaroni before and after her matches. (Yosh would not worry about Goatella as he knows she is a Do-Gooder officer with a great bust... err... big busts being done... err... erm… She gets lots of bad guys and can handle herself.)
The way you brought back Nishidor to help save Thanksalot's Tanooki is also very sweet and, from what I recall, very in Nishidor's behavioral pattern. He is just a helpful immortal that can just get too carried away in his efforts to be a good guy. :)
