Shard quickly changed into his costume.
"Shades... Check. Yello scarf... Check. Big Sheild... Check. Outfit...
Check! Cool whistling noise... Big check!"

Kyle walked out, only to be greeted by a whistle familiar to practically anyone
who has played a Mega Man/Rockman game.
Shard dropped from the cieling in an elaborate Protoman/Break Man/Blues
costume, his red armor gleaming under the fluorescent lights.
"Well, it looks like I beat that loser with the Farfetch'd to the punch! Now,
Richter, hand over the Pikachu!"
"CATHODE? Why?" asked Kyle, bewildered. "Because," said Shard, "I have a
female Pikachu with a gigantic crust on him." "PikaCHUUUU!" swooned Shockwave
at the mere thought of her azure-hued dream mouse. "No way! You don't think
I'll give up that easy, do you?" scowled Kyle. "Oh, I was hoping not," said
Shard. "Banshee, GO!"
"Always a pleasure to get to kick some arse!" said Banshee, dressed up as
Eddie/Fliptop. The Rockman theme was going QUITE far.
"Now, Eddie, er, Banshee... SUPERSONIC!" ordered Shard. Banshee cut loose with
a shreik that couldn't be heard, but could be felt by everyone.
Convention-goers curled into near-fetal positions, hands clamped firmly over
their ears. Glass shattered, tables broke in half. In the midst of the chaos,
Shard lept into the air, abnormally high, especially for someone in such a
bulky, elaborate costume. As the horriffic scream ended, Shard stopped at the
peak of his jump, threw some of his exploding Magnemites in random directions,
and began his decent.
When the smoke cleared, Shard was standing there, with Cathode at his feet,
held firmly in place by Shockwave. He didn't really seem to mind.
"Ah, young rodents in love," laughed Shard. "You're not callous enough to
SEPARATE them, are you Kyle?" asked Shard, as hearts floated above the two.
Blood dripped from Espio's nose, an anime cliche in action.
TBC?
