In a rainy, autumnal evening, Kintaro was reading the local newspaper, Outworld Times. There was a news article explaining a horrific death, of his long-time employer: "EARTHREALM Shoe Kahn died last night, horrificly, after trying to make his home theather work in full, 5.1 surround effects." the newspaper says. "Placing a fork in an unearthed plug connector of his Earthrealm cottage (no pun intended), he received a lethal amount of electricity, resulting in a heart attack. No remains were found except for his plastic helmet, which has already been sold to Reiko in an auction." Kintaro blinks his eyes. "Oh... shit." He utters.

Kintaro goes to Nine Lives Pub to drink the frostiest milk ever known to a feline. Bewailing his past relatives, he comes to think "What relatives or friends do I have left? -- Goro... No, Goro is just a bully." Soon Kintaro realizes he has a cousin in Earthrealm, Tony, residing in New York. Immediately, he buys a ticket and travels to Earth with an excellent idea... (The trip has passed) "Hey Tony! You've lost weight!" Roars Kintaro. "What I have lost, you have gained." Growls Tony. "I got unemployed again, but I got a great idea: let's start a restaurant!" Kintaro suggests. "Pizza has a high demand today in New York and we sure have the skills." He continues. "Uh oh, now that I think of it... I've got some pizza making skills back from Africa and my studies from Italy." Tony responds.

The real estate has already been rented and everything is underway though the cousins have some opinion issues. Tony asks: "Why are these knives shaped for three big fingers? Here aren't Sho..." before Kintaro interrupts: "For customers!" while working like like a maniac. A week later, "Tony & Kintaro's Pizza" was opened. Pizza was a well-eaten meal for the first few weeks but soon things began to slip from hands. Tony: "Why is it that our customers have started to disappear and we only have a bunch of regulars left here?" Kintaro: "This is nothing yet, cousin. *Growls* I have a plan: I will work as a waiter so you can focus in pizza making." Tony: "No, no, no, no... I'm going to call Gordon Ramsay here now."

It didn't take long until Gordon Ramsay and his Hell's Kitchen TV crew came to see Kintaro and Tony -- "What a fucking cat is running this business?" Ramsay started. "Me... ow?" Kintaro responded. "Shave your stupid face and bring the dishes to the customers!" Ramsay continued. "And Tony, stop putting fucking Kellogg's Frost Flakes in your pizza!" Tony scratches his head with his paw and follows his orders. Kintaro is about to bring a nice amount of pizzas to their regulars just before slipping backwards under Ramsay's eyes: "Noooooooooo!!!" Kintaro yells -- and wakes up from his nightmare. "Whew... I wish things were different than they are today though. It sucks to be imprisoned in a zoology. Damn Stryker."
