Opening[]
Gex is in his Gexcave scanning for unusual television activity when he gets a call from Agent Xtra who tells him that there is large disturbance in the media and in further detail explains that it is the work of a group of video game characters who are all battling for some sort of power. Gex then decides that he must find out what this power is and jumps straight into action.
Rival[]
Name: Ty
Reason: Gex is taking a look at the structures of the rival arena while making smart comments about how silly they look as Ty passes by and notices him. Ty asks him what purpose he has in a place like this if all he wants to do is wisecrack at the scenery when Gex insults him by reminding him that this isn't his mission and calling him a "hairball." Ty grows weary of Gex's attitude and proceeds to attack him for his arrogance. Gex warns him that it is not his fault if he loses the fight as he was only acting in self defense.
Connection: Both Gex and Ty are third-party characters who only ever appeared in three games that were released on multiple consoles. They also make funny, wisecracking quotes that they often say during certain events. Both of them also have relationships with females of species different to theirs, Gex having Agent Xtra who is a human and Ty having Shazza, who is a dingo.
Ending[]
Gex returns to his Gexcave in which he immediately gets a call from agent Xtra who asks him what the fuss was all about. Gex tells her that the it was nothing and that it was probably just a fight to see who could become the world's greatest warrior. Xtra then tells him that there is an attack on the media dimension by Rez. Gex doesn't hesitate to get ready for his next mission because he feels just about ready for another fight.
