## Summary

The edgerunners were invited to participate in the inaugural WTF Tribute Dance Battle. Hypercube hyped it up and pulled out all the stops, spending a fortune on promotion and a red carpet for the contestants. They arrived in various ways but the winners of "Best Entrance" were Rajan and E-Gore, who arrived in a car full of E-Gore's twelve-year old fans who had stolen their mothers' vehicle.

Hypercube explained the rules to everyone. There was some hesitation at the requirement for all contestants to do "the Rainbow" of jello shots but everyone took the plunge. Most were shitfaced drunk, others just inebriated. All of the NPC's paid for rapid detoxes and took smash.

The dance battle began. First to attack was Delphine, who tried to sneak attack E-Gore with her blade legs. E-Gore noticed, however, and evaded the attack. Barry simply drew a gun and started shooting. When Sanaa took it away from him, Sally told her off and used judo against Sanaa's roadbike. Atomic Blonde attempting to flying kick Sanaa off of the bike was the last straw and caused Sanaa to drop out of the competition.

Meanwhile, Emerson and Rebis were trying to set up the perfect opportunity to kidnap Jenny Gong. Unfortunately for them they were so shitfaced from the jello shots they didn't have the confidence to strike early. Instead they were forced to wait for a rapid detox and by the time it was administered it was already too late.

Sanaa was focused on finding out who was trying to kidnap Jenny Gong, and she saw through world famous acting coach Gene Cousineau, who was in the crowd. She realized he was not Gene Cousineau; he was someone else in disguise! She confronted him but the mystery man walked out of the WTF.

Torah got into the spirit of the competition and used his Tiger martial arts against Bert Bowie. This caused Bowie to draw a Minami 10 excellent quality submachinegun from under his jacket and obliterate poor Torah with autofire. Juniper watched her chance at stardom slip away in a spray of Torah's blood.

During all of this intrigue Hot-Shot and Cheirides focused on the competition. Hot-Shot obliterated poor Sally with two hits from her Fire Poi, forcing Barry and Sally to drop out of the competition. Hot-Shot then put on an absolute dance clinic, amazing everyone in the audience. She and Cheirides won four out of the nine dance rounds.

If that wasn't enough, Hot-Shot also wowed the audience with her Torrel & Chiang butterfly/firefly dress, bringing home the trophy for "Best Dressed".

As the competition came to a close, Hot-Shot and Cheirides won first place, Rajan and E-Gore won second place and Bert Bowie and Jenny Gong won third place.

Sanaa and Callie were paid 350 eddies from their mysterious benefactor for keeping Jenny Gong safe.
