Just another dumb story that I have wrote, and just in case, I will publish this on Royal Road. Something I have to say everytime I want to post something like this.

At the data center in my headquarters, where I search the globe scanning for what’s going on. We are an elite group of well armed soldiers in the military protecting freedoms from across the world, even at the cost of priceless, innocent lives. We are known as the Marine Seals, and I am their leading commander, I.G. Pazz. 

Right now I am doing my daily 12:00 am push ups before I even have breakfast, since you have to work for everything in life! Because LIFE IS NOT FAIR! IT’S NOT RAINBOWS AND SUNSHINE! YOU WORK, OR ELSE YOU ARE A WORTHLESS PUSSY! So that’s why I go out there and kill our enemies!

Just then, during my daily exercise routine, an alarm had come up. “Um… excuse me sir, but there’s an emergency going on. It is in…” 

“SHOVE A SOCK IN IT PUSSY! APPRECIATE YOUR JOB, YOU PATHETIC PIECE OF SHIT!” I yelled at my beta inferior, he just absolutely disgusts me! “Now direct me to the meeting room or else you will wish you were never born!” He pointed to the direction of the room in a wimpy manner. “DUMBASS” I shouted once more knowing that I am the apex of evolution.

I got there to see everyone in the room, my teammates. “Alright, so in this data, we see that the evil Dr. Gulakumar has created an evil device that, if used at least once, can steal all of the FREEDOMS AND LIBERTIES away from millions of people across our entire hemisphere! And also a few special countries in the other hemisphere that we consider to be good!”

“OH MY GOD! THAT FIEND! He must be doing the work of Satan!” One of my teammates said, and no, he’s not important, cause he’s not me… yet. LOOK I AM THE PROTAGINIST, AND I WILL TELL THE STORY LIKE IT IS!!

“So what are we going to do?!”

“Simple, we go there and… ATTACK!” I said with some great bravery.

“Don’t you mean we go to do some intervention? I mean these dudes are causing trouble for themselves, and it is our responsibility to…” The wimpy gamer nerd said, but I decided to interrupt him.

“SAVE THAT SHIT FOR PROPAGANDA!! WE TALK HONESTLY AMONG OURSELVES!” I said in the middle of his sentence, or whatever the fuck a group of words are! I punched him and sent him out of my amazing and cool sight.

“Ha, OMG, What a loser! Anyways, should we plan everything out before we head off” The only woman in our team said, and an absolute girlboss at that. YOU GO GIRL, YOU ARE ONE STRONG WOMAN! Although I don’t like what you said after, which means…

“NO, THAT'S A WIMP ATTACK! IN THE NAME OF MACHONESS, AND IN THE NAME OF CALL OF DUTY, ALL OF DUTY, FALL OF DUTY, WE FIGHT!” Everyone agreed with me, including the girlboss who changed her mind at the last minute, so we buzzed AWAY!

Now in our helicopter, in the distance we see the dreaded Fort Terror on top of a hill in the middle of nowhere where nothing of interest to us is miles around, with a whole entire Sleeper Cell megafortress right beside it! We will invade it and make sure that we can get those freedoms back!

Meanwhile…

“With a few more modifications, my evil plan will come to fruition, and no one will stop me! Muhahahaha!” Dr Gulakumar said, as he was putting some finishing touches. “Now with this machine, my ultimate plan will come, where I will… give the whole city electricity and clean water from the river so we can prosper! Hopefully, we can get enough food so all can benefit from our successes from across the world!” He went from menacing right towards an attitude of hope in a few seconds.

“You know boss, you should stop acting like a mad scientist whenever you do your usual ‘scheming’ about benefiting humanity as if you are a cartoon villain.

“Please, I LOVE those kinds of scientists in cartoons, they are just so funny and absurd, along with their over the top theatrics. Besides, who knows how this invention itself could help our scientific endevors…” A blast came from the distance, and alarms came off. 

The assistant quickly came to the telescope out the window to see that a helicopter is shooting missiles at random targets. “Sir, the Marine Seals are out there again trying to kill us! Maybe that your evil scientist persona is the cause of this mess?” He said with a concern yet kind of foreseen it ahead of time.

“Well, at least I have built some robots from the leftover parts. Sigh, I knew this was going to happen. All I hope is that this is enough to at least distract them while I buy time to find a way to create some kind of powerful mecha in a short time…” He said really worried.

NOW BACK TO MY STORY! HOW DARE YOU GIVE ATTENTION TO THAT ASSHOLE! Anyway, me and my badass team are about to land, just as a robot launched a missile at our helicopter! Those fiends are trying to kill us while we are liberating them! The fucking NERVE!

“SAY YOUR NAME AS YOU JUMP!” I said to my teammates so we can look even more cool than we already are!

“HOLY HORNY” THE FIRST GUY SAID WHO WAS AT THE MEETING!

“GIRLBOSS GRETA” SAID OUR ONLY WOMAN!

“TORTURE TOD!” OUR INFO GUY SAID!

“POWER PRESTON!” SAID OUR ONLY DARK GUY!

“KID KILLER!” OUR ROBOT SAID, AND DON’T YOU DARE GO ALL “YOU STEAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY” WE ARE THE MILITARY, AND WE CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUCK WE WANT CAUSE WE PROTECT YOUR FREEDOMS!!!

“Um… Don’t I get a parachute?” Our ugly nerd said as he was being a fucking coward.

“FUCK NO! JUST STAY IN THERE AND DIE! SO THE FOOD CAN BE FOR MORE LIKE ME!” I said as I jumped off and the helicopter exploded with this pathetic shitstain on it!

Now, we are at the ground to see all of the robots there, as they put out their machine guns, and we SHOT! We blasted all of our AR-15s at them, and came collateral damage, like I don’t know, some woman and children or something. Nothing important, unlike OUR FREEDOMS!

WE PLOWED THROUGH THE MEATBAGS IN OUR WAY, AND THE ROBOT, UNTIL SOMETHING HIT HOLY HORNY!

So I, I.G. Pazz, the great friend that I am, came up to him. IS IT TOO LATE?! I HOPE NOT! To see him suffering, gasping for air fills me with this “It hurts… so much” he said calmly, collapsing onto the ground. 

THIS PISSES ME OFF, AND SO DID EVERYONE ELSE, SO AS AN ACT OF REVENGE, WE DECIDED TO CHARGE, AND KILL AT LEAST 20,000 EACH OF THOSE SAVAGES TO AVENGE HIM! SO WE STARTED TO DO EVERYTHING WE JUST DID, BUT EVEN MORE THAN EVER!

I was choking a muscular man who can’t defend himself, how pathetic!

Girlboss Greta was cracking up some of them nuts in the sexiest ways you can imagine. Torture Tod was waterboarding many with extreme efficiency, and chopping up femurs, and Kid Killer was killing those children who were born failures! We were like total badasses killing those people who lacked any guns, and we decided to do even more, until we realize that we have to do to their masters to get our freedoms back!

So long story short, we all eventually got to the Fort Terror, where we killed even more terrorists who wanted to take away our freedoms! That is when came to the room of our greatest foe, Dr. Gulakumar. We tied this fucker to a chair with rope, and we thank god Torture Todd here to force him to tell us his evil plans.

“ALRIGHT TERRORIST, WE KNOW ABOUT YOUR MACHINE THAT CAN TAKE AWAY FREEDOMS AWAY! SO TELL US WHERE IT IS OR ELSE!!” Torture Tod said at the height of his voice.

“I have no idea what you are talking about. You are just a bunch of idi…” POW! WENT THE POWERFUL BALL KICKER OF TORTURE TOD AS KNEED THE CROCH OF THE EVIL DR. GULAKUMAR, AS HE… 

“I’m sorry, but how the hell does that story make any sense?! Stopping someone from stealing something that’s not even material? What benefits would he even get?! Some imaginary force of power?” I would see a student in the classroom question me. Did I forget to tell you that I was telling a class my story as a guest? Never mind, I will just go on with what I did with the little shit. 

Of course he was one of those hippie bastards who would come up with such a STUPID question like THAT! His glasses make me even angrier! I have to give that ungrateful shit a piece of my mind, so here I did by going up close to his hideous mug and yelled “IF I WAS NOT THERE KILLING OFF RANDOM PEOPLE WHO WERE MINDING THEIR OWN BUSINESS, THEN YOU WOULD NOT EVEN BE ABLE TO EVEN TO CRITICIZE ME, IN FACT, YOU WOULD BE DEAD, SOO, YOU’RE WELCOME!!!” and I was glad that the other students would join in with me in this rightful tirade.

“YOU SUCK!!”

“GO TO HELL”

“DIE MOTHERFUCKER!”

All the kids yell in my defense, and I am glad that this whiny generation is not a bunch of spoiled brats, but then suddenly the teacher pressed a button at the bottom of her desk, as she smiled at me. I smiled back, as soon enough, two officers busted through the door and went to that smart alec.

“Ello sir, you’ve had a bit too much to think about eh?” the first officer said in a friendly manner. I fucking don’t get why they are so damn polite to that piece of shit, but they don’t question my methods, so neither do I.

“Yeah, you know you should just let that dear hero do the dirty work so you can have freedom, and off you go cheery chap!” He said politely as they both grabbed the brat, and off the way they went out of the room.

“LET ME GO!! I DID NOTHING WRONG, SHOULD I HAVE BEEN OBEDIENT! HELL NO! I WILL SPEAK THE TRUTH! YOU CAN’T ARREST US ALL, AND WE WILL RISE! DR. GULAKUMAR DID NOTHING WRONG!” The fucken brat making a massive tantrum in front of his class. How fucking pathetic. He was dragged out of the room by the two officers. Then the intercom went on from the principal.

“Sorry for the sudden change of schedule, but we will be having an execution next period, of the very student who insulted the Amazing I.G. Pazz. He would ironically be the one doing the deed, as we saw it would be fitting. Now continue the class for the rest of the period, the execution will be right at the basketball court.” Oh yeah! Now I can get the chance to get even with this shit! I will just to the good part, where I am in front of this little shit where he’s tied to the flagpole, since we need to honor our nation by killing its enemies. I would then yell at his ugly mug, “ALRIGHT YOU LITTLE SHIT! WE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT WHY WOULD YOU JUST BE SO DAMN DISREPECTFUL TOWARDS ME! AFTER WHAT I HAVE DONE FOR YOU!” I was expecting him to be fearful and apologize, but HE SPIT ON ME! SO WITH MY RIGHTEOUS RAGE, I DECIDED TO BASH HIS HEAD AGAIN AND AGAIN, TO ASK THE SAME EXACT QUESTION WITH THE SAME EXACT WORD TO HOPE THAT I CAN GET THE SAME ANSWER. But with his heavy breathing, he made a nasty face, and he shouted with his final breath “DOWN WITH -” I just took the Glock-15 I always carry around with me ever since I retired from the military and pulled the trigger. I can’t finish my story of badassery, and as I did, everyone cheered, as I killed that traitor, it feels so good to be a motherfucking hero!

“Well, after seeing how cruel my classmates are, and how nasty our veteran guest is, I don’t think I want to join the military anymore. And from the murder of innocents and hypocrisy?! No thank you. My friend was really reckless, but I admire him. Personally, I think that I will try to run away from this country by moving to one of our neighbors who don’t have this level of stupidity and hatred.” I wrote in a hidden journal as all of my classmates yelled like beasts. The only problem is that I am in high school, and I am stuck here doing the pledge. I just got to think of a plan, and I will be out in a jiffy by the time I get to college.

I sat down as I was eating a cup of ramen while on the internet, as I decided to go onto a news website. I saw the anchor was as usual just some middle aged man talking about some dumb thing like how we need to work more or else everything will crash. I just kept hate-watching this slop, then he will go on to talk about some stupid shit story of how celebrities are getting silenced to get this, supposedly for having the wrong ‘opinion’ about politics or whatever the hell that means. Well I don’t want to delve into this, but as soon I was about to close the tab, something caught my eye. Eventually, an alert occurred where a younger news anchor came on, looking more presentable, with some hair gel. From how he’s looking, he seemed very concerned, as if something bad is around the corner. “Attention everyone, I am here to report that recently, ever since our president decided to condemn the Empire on the other side of the world. In response, the regime threatened to destroy the free world. Right now, let’s go live on Capitol Hill where the President is giving the State of the Union Address.”

Then it went on to the president, also with hair gel in his slick brunette hair, but has a greasy face, and a slender figure with dense cheekbones. He yelled like a madman, “I refuse to take back what I said! As a proud American like the 500,000,000 of all of you, I have nothing to apologize to the evil dictator over there! We know about their human rights abuses and their imperialist actions! DO YOUR WORST YOU SAVAGE BEASTAL ******!” It will turn back to the reporter, who seemed to look shocked for a moment, but then he started to share the same anger as the president.

“You go Mr. President! We need a strong leader to guide us and protect our institutions from any harm by those authoritarian bastards who want to take away everything we have!” The anchor has always been a staunch lover of violence despite claiming to be for “security”, but it’s security for assholes like him.

Yeah, I don’t want to think about stuff like that, so I switched off the T.V. I don’t get why I am so addicted to hate-watching this bullshit when all it does is get me pissed off when I could do something more productive. Well, it’s a day off and I want to see if any of the few retro game stores in my city has Powerup Fantasy 2. If so, then I will buy it no matter the price, if not, then I guess that I will have to buy it online. First however, I think I will look to see if I can get a better job, because right now, I only have a part time job where I just basically copy and paste stuff around. Yeah, it’s just plain boring. The only reason I even still work there is just so I can pay off my rent and other necessities, and I was lucky to have that job thanks to my uncle.

So I went out, and as I was thinking about what happened. Sure, I don’t have a full time job at the moment, but I at least am able to keep up with rent for the next few months since I have not been buying crap. Sure, from time to time I have made impulse purchases, but luckily I avoided spending way too much.

I walked across the street to a few locations to at least get a part time job. I saw a bakery with a help wanted sign, to see that they are hiring for a manager position. I then went in there, to then see if I could get the job, as I had my resume out. I don’t really have anything that I could do to get that, but hopefully I have luck on my side. As soon as I got to the counter, the smell of fresh bread was so nice, and I saw the baker there, being a large man with the usual white baker attire. “Um… may I help you?”

“Yeah, you have a help wanted sign, and I want to know if I am allowed.” I said as I gave him the resume, as he took only a second to look at it, bringing up his head to line his eyes up with mine. 

“This is a joke? You have a college degree, no way I am accepting any applicants like you into my job! This is way too simple. Go someplace else!”

I went to other places, as well, as I was able to get into a gig where I can test out new tech products. However, on my first day, I was fired since I did the whole thing wrong. They refused to let me have a second chance after I screwed THAT up.

Later I would try to enter an app service where I would be able to get a job by assisting anyone with household errands. However, all are taken so that’s out, as they are not taking any more applicants.

After getting rejected from every place imaginable including from several minimum wage jobs, I just “semied-gave up” on getting one, so maybe I will do it at least once a week whenever I think of an idea, because I don’t want to be dependent on my parents. After feeling defeated, I just went to a retro game store to see if I could get Powerup Fantasy 2, and see if I could actually complete the game quickly. 

I went to the first store I thought of  where they have the game I’m looking for. In particular, the game where it’s as rare as diamonds, and runs on a system no longer in production. It’s an RPG titled Powerup Fantasy 2, where it takes place in a Medieval European setting. I looked at the selves to see nothing there, and as soon as I was about to go and purchase the game, I witnessed right from a few feet from me two men getting into a fight. I was not sure about what they were so pissed over, from the fact they were speaking Japanese. I only knew because they were loud as a volcano that just erupted. I had to wait to purchase because of this, as then the cashier said, “Sorry, but I am needed elsewhere. I will be with you shortly.” Yeah, I am not sure if she will be with me soon, as she was trying to calm them down in the same language, as one of the men, a well groomed salaryman yelled at her while pointing at the other man. The other man has a different appearance, with a more fat physique, shorter hair, and just wearing your basic T-shirt with a gaming picture. From the looks of it, I guess it has to do with status or something like that. The fat man yelled back, and I did not want to be here in this zone of conflict, but I wanted the game so badly, so I guess I will have to wait, watching out for my safety.

I took out my book. I just want to write in it and spend less time on my phone. I wrote about what I thought about the game itself, and the characters were like. I was thinking about what could happen in the game, or how it connects to the overall narrative of 1, 3 and 4. 5 is not out yet, but I am looking forward to its release date, as it’s said to be around summertime. Playing 2 while I wait for a while. Then soon enough, while I was putting in some notes, the cashier came by, and I was able to get THAT over with. Later I decided to just go home after my purchase of the game.

As I left the store, I was walking by the busy streets, as cars were beeping while many others were going along their day. I was stressed by that confrontation, but I am not going to let that get in the way of my enjoyment of the second installment that I have yet to try out. I was going until out of the blue, someone came out in front. “YAH, I’M FRED!! I’M FRED!! How yo do!” I jumped right out of my skin, as I felt my skeleton literally leap out of my body through my mouth. Like what in the Abyss happened?! “Hey, I’m Fred, How yo do, Fred?” 

“Um… I am Fred?” I said. He does not look right, and from the looks of the smell of leather more rotten than eggs ever could get along with his face like a zombie. Heck his behavior alone tells me that he is not doing okay.

“Yeah I Fred, you Fred right? You Fred?” He’s actually not being angry or aggressive towards me. However, I don’t have any time for this nonsense, and I want to rest a bit to get right onto playing Powerup Fantasy 2. 

“Sorry, Fred, but… I have something to do… Nice talking to you though” I said politely as I could. I am not a therapist, and I much rather focus on my own life on how I can leave my neighborhood.

“THE WORLD IS ENDING! PLAY POWERUP FANTASY 2! PREPARE BY PLAYING CARDS! THE GOVERNMENT, BUSINESS AND THE MILITARY WILL DESTROY THE WORLD!!!! PREPARE!! DEMONS RULE THE WORLD!!” The homeless man yelled out to my face as I walked away. Wow, just like, wow. As I was walking alone in the streets, I was a bit touched by what he said. I am starting to have questions, like for one, HOW THE FUCK did he even knew I was about to play Powerup Fantasy 2, and about the end of the world?! Maybe I should do something about this… Right after I rest and start playing the game from beginning to end. I mean, that is what I have set out to do after all. 

A Few Days Later…

I am already on the final boss of this game. I think I missed a few days off work, and I am probably fired for doing so, however I don’t actually care since I already have made a lot of money ahead of time to pay for the rent and I even have a friend of mine come by once in a while to give me some money so I’m good. Right now I must be focused at all times, since I am on the Final Boss, and I need full concentration to focus on tactics on how to defeat it. As I was just ALMOST there, the T.V. went off, and the lights went out. GREAT! I was in the final battle, and now this shit happens! I tried to go on my phone, but nothing even came up, so I suppose even the internet is down too. Ugh… just when I was so close. Maybe my landlord is being a dick over what could have been about me not paying my last rent. I decided to look at the control panel, and it seems to be fine. Cases like this are why I wished I'd bought a generator. I soon enough heard what sounded like an explosive outside, as I opened a window, and it looked outside to see that everything was just normal. Just the usual skyline, then I saw the same homeless dude running, yelling about the “government”, “corporations”, and now DEMONS?!! Yeah, he lost it, but now others are running with him too, and it does not seem like it’s not just drug addicts, but normal people, from what appears to be gunfire. Well, I have to get right to sleep now anyway. But just in case, I locked and barricaded all doors and windows. For a second now, I thought about playing with my miniatures, but I did not want to make a mess with them just in case I needed to escape. I looked outside once in a while but I decided not to do anything. I sat there, as the heat went off, as I stood there now freezing. I only bothered to get one blanket, so I am not even sure of what to even do!

The Next Day… 

I would later get up to take a glimpse out of the window to see that there was shockingly not a whole lot of damage. I checked the news to see what was up, until then the anchor was there, but he still looked okay despite the fact that there was a literal apocalypse outside. And now that I think about it… the other nation did threaten retaliation. But then there’s something begging the question, why would the empire even care about what people here think, especially if it’s some nobody? Or the leaders of this country for this matter, as that’s to be expected, and they could be making most people like me share those hateful views. 

“Right now, in New York City, many people have been out on the streets pissed off about the fact that there’s been a huge invasion by… I am not sure of what the fuck I am saying, but I will just do it anyway. We were attacked by a whole hoard of monsters… of varying shapes and sizes. You may know them from fantasy stories or whatever, but the issue stands is that the Empire is obviously behind this, as they’ve threatened to attack us! So they must be in league with these monsters, all trying to destroy our beloved democracy!” 

While he was doing his monologue, there was footage from that day where there happens to be demons resembling something from depictions from fantasy media, and are too diverse in appearance to list how they all look like. Some of them do have horns, tails, some resembling various animals, while some are humanoid. The demons seemed to be more focused on the people rather than just mindless destruction, as if they don’t want to destroy anything, despite the fact that the buildings are already are shit. As they were going for the people, the cops were there fighting back, with military grade weapons, with some even having bazookas. Don’t ask me why they gave them those, and the fact that apparently, the army was not there, which got me confused. I saw that so many buildings were being barricaded with strong metal material which they did while fighting against the demons, and there that’s what prevented the massive damage that would have occurred. Despite this, there was SOME damage done to the infrastructure, but it was just a couple of bullet holes here and there, nothing that major, except for a few craters caused by the rocket launchers. People were running amongst the crossfire, as many were killed on the streets, and as many tried to get inside of the buildings, the police force just decided to kill them off just like with the demons. And for some reason, the demons were actually turning the people into even MORE demons. Wow, I was actually glad I played Powerup Fantasy all day long, and got home ahead of time.

The anchor said pissed off, almost as if he was sounding like an exposure trying to reach someone to stop them. Me on the other hand don't give a shit about any of this. Like why should I have a grudge against the Empire when they are just minding their own business over there. Heck I am skeptical over them in kahoots with those creatures on the report, as it seemed like they were working with the police, despite that the media was trying to cover it up. 

The world seems to be fine, for now, but I am concerned about what will happen in the future. I was lucky that the demons seemed to back off from doing the whole invasion thing, but I still do wonder if the whole thing will happen on a larger scale.

A few months later…

I woke up and I found out that I am alone in the world, yeah this a prequel to what I already wrote, have some patience man! Writing on a task is hard! Especially when you are on the run from all sorts of weird creatures. Well, I will have to get back, it seems like I have been hearing some noise while I am looting this abandoned market.

And as always please leave a review and constructive criticism, it's been a while since I've posted a story on here, and I think I should try to get into the habit once again.

Just once again decided to take better photos of my clay models to give them both better lighting and so people can see them in a better angle. That's all for now, I hope that I can publish more artwork or write more stories

Just simply a "Game Bible" of sort that I feel like I should publish on here. Based on my own Clay Pawns.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vT5-Grkx3aeTTFhYU9gFVO10mgZnYpu_I-vh9I4Pmt7WGAdo5z1ACIYcVYjAFezEmb8uPyky_Z1Znlb/pub

Took a long time to do it, but I decided to retake the pictures of my clay pawns, with much better lighting like with the first ones I made. Can't do it to all, since I gave some away.

Well, here is the board game that I am publishing to the internet, or well at least the rules. The Leaders, Wonders, Army types and the rest I have written down on textcards, so I will publish those later, maybe. I don't have them with me right now. Also, sorry to posting the rules in separate listings, just as I was making the game, it was a mess to go through. Already I am never going to make a game this complex again, so here you go. You can make your own clay models, or just simply use paper with notes, or pennies. Go ahead be creative, I kind of used this game as an excuse to make some clay models of famous architectural masterpieces. It's pretty much a combination between Catan and the official Sid Meier's Civilization Board Game.

A teaser for a sequal to a fanfic I already wrote, that I may or may not write.

Thomas the Tank Engine went into a station, unlike any other, was actually a meeting hall that’s right next to the tracks. Outside the carts, coming into the meeting hall was Captain Falcon and his gang led out by Kirby. 

The first three groups were already there, and Kirby would introduce the 8 new characters, “Hey everyone! I brought new friends who also survived the Corruption! Now all we have to do is wait for the Game Master to arrive” Kirby yelled in an upbeat and welcoming voice. However, as Reimu had seen that Yukari was one of the survivors that were brought in there, she immediately spoke up and took out her rod. 

“HEY! Why is that hag doing here! May I remind you that she was the one that started the corruption back in my world! She was the whole reason that me, my friends and I were corrupted in the first place! I knew I never should have trusted you!” Reimu yelled.

“My my, what hostility. No need to go so low as to call me a nasty hag. I had as much trauma and depression as everyone here” Yukari responded smugly. From there, they both yelled at each other, until Lucario was able to pry them apart.

“Look, no need to argue. You may not trust me Reimu as we have only known each other for a few days, but her aura seems to be… purple but not red. Yeah it’s unusual, but it could be a sign that she’s simply neither good nor evil.” Lucario explained.

“That’s what I thought, until she and a bunch of other yokai decided to allow the Subspace Army to invade!” Reimu yelled, as both she and Yukari would continue arguing, as Captain Falcon and Kirby would try to calm things down, in addition to Lucario.

Sailor Jupiter saw Sailor Venus as they both were relieved, and they hugged. “MINAKO! I am glad you made it out! I thought that you were dead when the whole merged existence would collapse.” Jupiter said.

“Me too. I thought that once the vital would have no effect after a certain, and you would be a member of the Neo Black Moon Clan forever.” Venus responded.

“No worries, I was lucky that Nina here was able to cure me just before the vital effects wore off. But it’s nice to see another Sailor Guardian make it out” Nina overheard their conversation and was glad that she saved someone from being corrupted rather than just saving it, only to be wasted and have no effect. In fact, Jupiter turned to her, as she came up to her “Oh yeah, and here she is now.” Nina blushed a bit, but she nodded and was happy to talk.

Meanwhile, Shaggy and Scooby Doo saw there was a buffet, where they saw a bunch of the gang there. “Come on Scoob, like there’s enough food that we could forget about this whole Tabuu mess!”

“Right on Raggy!” they all came to the buffet, as they all started to get to then see Homer Simpson. 

“Hey… you seem pretty skinny, why are you here at the buffet, did you smoke too much weed? AH HAHAHAHAHA!”

“Like, man you’re one to talk. You’re drinking beer right now!” Shaggy responded, as Homer was indeed drinking 5 bottles of beer at once, as he opened his eyes once Shaggy said that. 

“Well played, since we both love food, I challenge you to see who can finish 50 burgers first! Whoever wins has to help the other settle in!” Homer said

“Like, count me in!” Shaggy said, as they both had 50 burgers, went to their seats and started eating. Scooby Doo gets distracted, as he sees Pikachu sleeping on one of the chairs. The dog took curiosity over the mouse, as he was about to touch Pikachu, sparks appeared from his red cheeks, startling Scooby Doo. “RIKES!” Scooby yelled in fear.

“I suggest you stay away from my friend here. He tends to hate being woken up, especially if it’s a surprise.” Samus says, as she’s in her Zero Suit. Scooby backed away from Pikachu anyway, as the bounty then asked him another question, “I don’t mean to be rude, but where’s your owner, I mean friend.” Scooby saw that Shaggy won the contest while Homer was trying to eat his tenth burger, but was already tired. 

As Scooby Doo knew what happened, he came up to Shaggy and licked his face. “Aw Scoob, thanks for congratulating me!” Homer was just delirious that he can’t eat another burger, crying about this.

“You really are a total moron, you should have known that you would lose this bet!” Samus told Homer, with him looking, and then crying.

Later, as both Simon and Talbain met eye to eye, they already got into a fight, as from their stances. “I thought that Morrigan was troublesome enough, but to see a werewolf here just boils my gears. I bet you want to start the whole Corruption all over again and resurrect Tabuu.” Simon said.

“Dude, I was a VICTIM of the Corruption, just as much as you are Demon Hunter! Although you seem pretty strong for a human though. How about we take this outside.” Talbain responded in a threatening way.

“Sure thing, let’s get out and see who’s stronger. I will warn you beast, I will defeat the darkness”

On the side, a more friendly conversation happened, where Ness was with Lucas. “So… Do you like baseball?” Ness asked.

“I never heard of it, sorry I spent my childhood without any tech. But I would like to try it out if it will help me get over the loss of my remaining family. But I don’t know how to play.” Lucas said, feeling depressed and a bit shy.

“No worries then, Mario can teach you how to play. We can just invite him over since he has been thinking about playing sports to get over the same issues we all are having!” Ness said in an optimistic manner. 

Then as soon as they were about to ask Mario and head out, the doors shut down. Lucas and Ness tried to get the doors to open, but they wouldn't budge. Then a shadow appeared on the stage, revealing to be the Game Master himself, with his hoodie and a black tie that shows he means business. 

“Whew, sorry that I was late, I had work today at my part time job. I invited all of you here for a reason. Since you know, you all are survivors even though you I did technically help you out but that’s besides the point.” He said casually, although not much of the characters are like this.

“Um… May I be excused? I was about to face this red human looking robot in a duel, but I can’t since you blocked out the exits.” Crono interrupted, as Zero simply looked at him and smiled.

“Heh, well it’s not like you were going to win. I am too fast for your speed.” Zero responded.

“No. I did that because I have something that I want all 39 of you to hear, and 43 if you include the legionnaires beside Trajan. Now, I want all of you to sit in a certain order. Of course with you Thomas, my favorite character from childhood, I will find a way to make you able to do human things after this. Well I want Spider-Man in the first corner since he is the oldest character, then both Shaggy and Scooby Doo next to each other, Lupin III, and Lum to represent the 70s, or 60s in Spider-Man’s case” Game Master said, as then Spider-Man asked a question.

“Sorry, but why are you saying we are the oldest despite the fact that most of us are teens and that one young adult?” Spider-Man asked

“Yeah, are you insulting us or something?” Lupin III added

“You just got on my nerves! To say that I am old especially for the darling you refuse to make into clay!” Lum said as she was sparking with electricity. 

“Calm down, I am not saying you are literally old. I am doing this based on the individual debut year in my material reality. You all should be aware that you are all fictional characters right?” The Game Master said, as the five just sat down in their assigned seats angry.

“Well I don’t want to waste anymore time, so now it’s time for the 80s, starting with Mario. In this order, I want the characters to sit next to him in this order: Skeletor, Bowser, Link, Zelda, Samus, Simon and Deedlit. And oh boy, the 90s. Yeah, there’s a reason I separated them, early 90s: Homer, Captain Falcon, Sonic, Sailor Venus, Kirby, Sailor Jupiter, Mega Man X, Zero and Nina. Now the late 90s: Terra, Mog, Ness, Morrigan, Jon Talbain, Crono, Pikachu, Reimu, and Banjo & Kazooie. Finally, for the 2000s: Isaac, Yukari, Ike, Lucas, Lucario, Glaceon, and finally the only 2010 character Trajan and his four legionnaires. Heh heh, I could have Trajan be the first since he’s the only one of you who’s actually real, but he’s dead. Now, any questions?” The Game Master took a long time saying this to get the order right, as everyone sat in a specific order, as Ike raised his hand. “Ah yes, the Radiant Hero, how may I serve you?”

“Yes, I was wondering why you place all of us in this order?” Ike said.

“Good point, I just like sorting things or in this case people into certain categories. Now you Homer.”

“Well, could you make a clay model of at least Marge? And Bart. And Lisa. And Lenny, Carl, Moe, Barney, but not Stupid Flander. And not Grandpa”

“Sorry Homer, but I am not going to make any more clay pawns, as I have other art projects that I want to focus on that have nothing to do with you. Although, I did thought about doing Moe but I went against it in the end”

“If that’s the case, did you at least consider my sister?” Ike stood up in a threatening manner.

“And make that double for my whole gang” Lupin III said

“Bring back Sailor Moon!” Jupiter and Venus yelled in unison!

“I want my family back!” Lucas yelled

“You better bring back my henchmen or else!” Skeletor demanded. And soon more demands filled up the room, as up the his lungs, the Game Master had enough.

“QUIET!!! Look, I don’t have enough time, I want to do my own thing, and I want to have less clutter, besides, I can’t fit all of that into one box. I am going to make ONE, just ONE more clay model. I am not going to say who it is, because you will all riot no matter who I say it is. Maybe I will make a second if you are REALLY lucky. But just one. Sorry, that will mean more clay models I will have to do. Besides, those characters are still in your memories. So why don’t you build a monument to them and hold a funeral? I’m really sorry I burst out, but what I said is true, and I don’t want to be a hoarder. I got enough stuff as is”

Everyone is silent, and that is all there is. “So anyone else has a question, and it can’t be about clay models. Yes, I know how it feels to lose someone dear, but we have to move on to this situation.”

“Well then, who the hell are you? And why did you bring us here?” Lupin III raised his hand.

“Whew, an intelligent question, and from one of the smartest people here. This should have been the first question asked to be honest, but I will carry on. I am just a loser who is stuck with his parents looking for a job in an unstable situation. I believe this is what caused the Corruption of Reality to happen in the first place, but I was an apprentice to Master Hand in making my own game and by extension worlds. I practiced making my own, which I hopefully will go back to. And I brought all you here and had a hand because you all are my favorite characters in all of fiction. Also I will answer two more questions and I will leave you all to your own devices. Oh, you, Zelda, what is on your mind?”

“Are we technically immortal?” Zelda questioned

“Yes, you technically all are, and have eternal youth as well, now you got me anxious about my own life. Well, one more question, I want to wrap this up now.” as he would see Trajan with his hand up

“How are our lives going to be like going forward?” Trajan asked

“Excellent question, I don’t know. But I do imagine you guys living normally, but with fighting tournaments once in a while, like martial arts. Don’t worry, you can’t kill each other, and once you defeat one, you turn into a clay pawn, and you can resurrect with ease by touching the bottom of the pawn. Well I got to go now, but I hope to see you guys soon enough!” The Game Master said, then “One more thing. *snap* okay you can walk without rails Thomas, and all on equal paying field. See yah!” Then the Game Master teleported.

“You know, I feel weird that I can go wherever I want now.” Thomas said.

“I know what you mean, I’ve seen weird stuff across my superhero career. But what do we do now?” Spider-Man asked

“How about first we honor our loved ones, make the monument, and then let’s have a quick attorney to see who’s the strongest,” Crono said, excited over this. Everyone agreed, as they all went out to do their thing.

To be continued… maybe

After seeing the reviews on this art piece, I decided that it was not good by Newgrounds standards since it has 2.5/5. So I post it here on my blog instead. Expect with more art pieces, as I am trying to get better, and you can expect photography on here as well, since that too is not allowed on the Art Portal.

If there is anything that I love more in my life is playing video games and writing fanfiction. I have just finished writing a fanfiction about my all-time favorite characters from the Powerup Fantasy series going through a journey, and I plan on making a sequel that I hope will be much better. Sure I should make more original characters, but with my characters, I just can’t stop along with those figurines that I have just bought today. It’s already 5:00 am, so I better go downstairs and make myself something to eat in the public kitchen. Have been experimenting with baking as of late, since I need better eating habits as I went days without food. 

Something just hit me now, as a thought occurred in my mind that I can’t leave my room. I realized that if I were to do so, then that means this house is no longer mine, and my landlord will kick me out! After all, I forgot to pay for my rent on time. Having to look for a place while homeless is a pain in the ass, so I have to figure out a way out of this mess. Sure I could order someone else to deliver something, but I am low on money at the moment, and I really want to get another job where I can work remotely. At this point I sort of gave up since most of those job listings are just fake. Why do they have to do this to me! 

As I have spent most of my money on toys beforehand since I have a bit of a shopping addiction, I ended up focusing on saving my money for when the next rent comes, along with what I owe. For now I think I will focus on trying to get another job.

After 10 applications, I was rejected from all of them. And it’s all because I don’t have “experience”. Like what the actual fuck! I can’t go and get that “experience”! Like where can I get it! Plus the fact that I had to get the job to get the experience and vice versa frustrates me! I still scrolled the internet and searched up for more jobs with my skill sets to see if there is anything that’s available. But here is the problem, after hours of looking up for anything that I could get, I decided to give up for the day. I checked my email to see that I have one notification… It’s from my landlord. I clicked on it to see what it is, to read the following:

Mr. Springdale,

I have not obtained your daily rent of $5,000 this month. If you don’t comply by the end of the month, I will remove you from your house. and the police will escort you out! You have been warned! This goes double if you leave your room!

-Blackrock

Great, now I am really desperate to get out of this situation. I can’t make that pay, even if I manage to get a job by today, I don’t think I will be able to pay my landlord back. In the end, I decided to call my sister to see if she has any money she can lend me. After some ringing, she texted me claiming that she’s at work. Then I decided to call my other sister to see if she’s willing to lend me a helping hand, and of course she is busy with her college midterms, and the same would be for my brother. No, I am all out of options, as I then slammed my hands on the table many times, as I decided to try getting in contact with a lawyer to see if I could get one to help. I still have my phone out of course, and I typed onto my keyboard to see if anyone is willing to take my case. I looked online for a couple of minutes to see that the fee of an average lawyer costs about $230 per hour. Why did I try this when I should have known a good lawyer is more expensive than a pot of gold. Sure, I could have one of those public defenders, the only problem is that they are absolute shit! Then I finally had an idea, and I took out a pen and took off the lid, hoping that I could push it into his eye.

A few days later, I was right at the doorway prepared to stab my landlord’s eyes. I am looking forward to doing this, just some payback for the money that he made me spend on just staying here. I stood there for a few minutes, but nothing came. I was confused, I thought that this time he would come over by now. I decided to check my computer really quick to see what’s the deal, to then find this out: he sent me a letter,

Mr. Springdale,

I am to inform you that I have changed my mind. You are allowed to stay here, but everytime you leave, I will be charging you another $100 each time you leave the house. In addition to that, I will be charging interest. So every month or so the price will go up by 0.8%. So do the math and you figure out what you owe! How are you going to get out of this one you slob! LOL!

-Blackrock

P.S. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that I know of your plan, so you’d better have a gun prepared, oh wait, you don’t have one! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Does this asshole really need to write down his laughter?! Now I am truly a hikikomori at this point! I can’t get out, and worse, I don’t think I will ever be able to pay off this debt! I should call my siblings again, but the only problem is that I have not been on good terms with any of them, and the only reason I have called is just because I was THAT desperate, and I was going to beg instead of asking nicely. I don’t know what to do, I prayed that I may have a solution, but nothing happened. I was afraid that I might lose my home and my stuff if I don’t do what I have to do. I still have to look for a job, but I CAN’T FIND ONE! I started to cry, as tears ran though my face as I laid down onto my bead. Then I heard a knock on my door, and I got up to see that it’s a close friend of mine, Mr. Wells.

“Hey Springdale! Just paid for your rent. I already had to deal with another problem where I cracked the screen of my console. Just hope that you are doing alright!”

The sight of him made me glad that I at least got to have one issue of mine fixed, but I am not sure what I should do?

This is meant to be a sequel to the Corruption of Reality fanfiction that I have written a while back. Sure this is bad, as this is basically my first draft and is poorly written like the story before, more as writing practice to get myself into the habit of writing everyday. And while it is bad, at least I wrote it without that abomination that I refuse to mention, because you all know what it is. Of course it's uncertain if I would continue this, as I got other projects to do.

Shaggy and Scooby Doo both went outside a portal along with Captain Falcon, Lum, Talbain, Mog, Sailor Jupiter, Glaceon, Nina and Isaac, through the Blue Falcon as it then lands on top of a cliff after some time, as Yukari Yakumo closes up the portal behind. Scooby and Shaggy were the first out as they were already afraid of their company going out to eat. In response, Captain Falcon called out to them saying they should calm down, as they don't know what's even out there, in addition to him reminding the duo that everyone else all worked together to survive the corruption. They both calmed down a bit, at least being glad that the Captain saved them when they were in another world chased by a demon serving a villain in an anime fantasy world. Isaac remembered that, as it was at Weyard, as all four villains he fought joined as one to rule the world. Lum was told that they could not save Ataru in time, and felt guilty for abusing him while she was corrupted. She considered herself lucky to be cured in the first place by Nina right before it became permanent. 

Nina comforted Lum, as she too felt sad for losing Ryu Bateson as he became a servant of St. Eva. Lum still felt depressed about this, in addition to losing her friends. Sailor Jupiter too felt the same way, as she, like Lum, was also cured by Nina, as she wondered about the rest of the Inner Senshi as Atsugessho clones, in addition to Chibiusa becoming Black Lady after the SCP Foundation Raid. Mog would come into the conversation, as he said that knew what it felt to lose friends, as before the Corruption even started, he would find himself the last of the Moogles after Kefka destroyed the world. Although he admits going through this a second time in some ways desensitized him. Yukari also felt said that she had to absorb Ran and Chen into her soul just so they won’t get corrupted, and went along with the corruption for the time being, as she could get corrupted herself, or mind controlled by the invading forces, and eventually, she decided to simply destroy Gensokyo just to prevent more suffering eventually, just when the whole multiverse collapsed after Tabuu’s defeat.

Talbain groaned, as he just said that he’s simply glad that he managed to get out of dealing with Pyron and Jedah’s world order. Mog and Nina told him not to be rude, as he should be thankful that he survived due to their help, as then Yukari teased him a bit about being grumpy, until Captain Falcon told the Gap Youkai to just leave him alone for the time being. Glaceon saw in the distance what appears to be a pink ball with feet, as he told everyone in the group through his cries that it’s coming. Although Shaggy and Scooby Doo both freaked out at first as the latter jumped onto the former, it appears to be Kirby, who was glad that Shaggy was about to make it out. The hippie was relieved, as he remembers the fight with Tabuu, as the Doom Slayer decided to sacrifice his life to simply weaken Tabuu, and create three artifacts based on him, and the other two through his willpower to spread across the world, and told Shaggy to run, and save his best friend. 

Captain Falcon was at least glad that they at least have connections to someone in this new world, although everyone else in the group was concerned about whether they should even trust this creature from everything they have seen. But then something emerged from the distance, a man in a hoodie, but he had a surgeon mask hiding his face with two cartoonish eyes and a Power Glove on his right hand. “Good, at least my final additions to the roster have arrived, and it’s a good thing you came there Kirby to greet them. It was hard introducing you, Lucario, Zero and Banjo & Kazooie to the rest of the group, as they assumed you were minions of Tabuu. At least having X there made a bit easier, and I hope it will be the same for this group. Good thing I have you Kirby to bring them here.” The masked man said. As usual Shaggy and Scooby Doo were frightened, as then Sailor Jupiter questioned who he even is, and if he even had connections to Tabuu, as Lum joined in demanding with anger where is her darling.

“No, I hate Tabuu and everything he stands for with my gut. I am Master Hand’s apprentice, as Kirby and Shaggy know who he is since they have contacted him since he told them about the corruption as a last attempt to keep Tabuu sealed with SCP containment. Of course, Kirby then eventually Shaggy escaped, and, I am not going to bore with the details, but Tabuu was destroyed by a group of fictionals much like all of all, and Master Hand saved them while they were trying to escape, and I would eventually make “Clay Models” of all of them, and eventually of Kirby’s group, then you.”

Mog got frustrated, as he then demanded to know how the corruption even started in the first place, and demanded to know what the “Clay Models” even are, and what he would even make them. Jon Talbain butted in too, frustrated that his life with the children was interrupted and why would this mysterious figure even need to make them.

“AWESOME! I knew, and was actually hoping that one of you would ask this question. I always loved making figures out of clay, and it was a hobby of mine. I was frustrated with myself thinking about who I should make out of clay. Dang, I should get to the point. Well, I made clay models of you, the fourth group recently, and the previous three groups. It’s doing this that saves you all from the Corruption of Reality, and the collapse of the Multiverse, allowing you an escape to material reality. All I have to do is wait for my mother to bake you in the oven, solidifying your existence and place in the material world. And something a bit irrelevant, but some Univeres never dealt with the Corruption, like the Warhammer Universe, where there are barely any good guys around, and for this reason Tabuu never bothered with them.”

The group just stared at the mysterious person with confusion at the last part, but understood about the clay models, it’s a huge part of how they survived in the first place. Lum right away wanted the figure to make a clay model of Ataru, as many other others joined, as Yukari wanted two of Ran and Chen while Isaac wanted at least his mom. 

“I know how you all feel, but if I did that, then I have to do it for everyone, and I have a life outside of making Clay Figures. Besides, I kind of want to make my own original stuff, as none of you are in the public domain in the material world I am from. Look, just make friends with yourselves, I have read it before, with at least the first two groups, so just make the most of it. Meet me at this address.” He said as he used his glove to summon a paper which he decided to give directly to Captain Falcon.

“You will meet the first three groups along with a talking train. I also made a clay model for him along with yours since he escaped with the first two groups from the collapsing multiverse. Yeah I am sorry this seems like a combination of weird, creepy and depressing to you all, but try to have some hope. It takes time to go through grief, I understand, after the explanation, you all can go to the monument that the other 3 batches have made and add your loved ones there. Gotta go now, I have other stuff to do. One more thing, you can call me the “Game Master” for the time being” He said as he left to handle other stuff.

Glaceon wondered how he’s going to live without his trainer, and how both Scooby Doo and Shaggy are going to solve anything, as that thought went away as they began to hunger for something to eat. Then Sailor Jupiter noted that they should go to the Train Station nearby, as Kirby himself noted it, as then Thomas arrived with the 2 and 6 cart from the NYC Metro at the station. Kirby led them there, as he would then explain the tank engine about them, and how they can actually be trusted. Thomas nodes with his face, and allows them into himself, understanding about the new arrivals and the fact that the meeting will take place for more info about their collective situation.

To be continued… maybe
