This World, Subspace, and Beyond
Prologue:
Behold a distant place known only as "this world." In this world, trophies fight. They know nothing but fighting. Fighting is the sole reason for their existence. Being turned back into a trophy, being unable to fight, is much like death. Those are the rules of this world. But when someone…or something…breaks those rules, the world will pay a terrible price. Is there another force controlling the fates of these trophies? Are there several forces in control? And what will happen when these forces collide in this world? Only time will tell…
Chapter 1: Fun and Games
I had invited a bunch of my friends to hang out at my house on a Saturday night. The people that were hanging out at my house included Will, Jim, Renee, Kayla, Candace, Lex, Jess, Kitty, and myself (the name is Brooke). Anyway, the weather was incredibly miserable outside because of some hurricane that was raging some hundreds or thousands of miles away from here. I thought it was funny that weather people name it Hurricane Ike. So, this hurricane was stirring up massive thunderstorms all over the place. The wind was blowing at insane speeds, lightning struck everywhere, and torrential downpours had flooded the windows of every house in sight. So what's my point? Well, this all relates to what happened next.
Since going outside was out of the question, we decided to play some video games (I know, stupid idea, huh?) and eat snacks. Thus, everyone gathered around the giant TV in the living room, and I proceeded to set up our favorite game: Super Smash Bros. Brawl. You could say it's the binding force that keeps all my friends together. Anyway, time went on, and we played round after round of madness and mayhem, trying to kill each other without dying ourselves. It's definitely a thrill to see the greatest Nintendo characters on one screen: Link, Samus, Lucario, Ike, Kirby, Pit, Zelda, Wolf, Peach, Captain Falcon, Snake, etc. The final round of the night consisted of a team battle: Jim and Will vs. Candace and myself. In other words, it was Samus and Kirby vs. Wolf and Link. Yeah, it was an epic battle, all right, seeing as we were battling on the Spear Pillar. It's too bad we didn't get to finish our battle. Why? Here's the reason: I had unleashed my Final Smash on Jim (since Will was already out of the game), and I was about to deal the final strike to win the game, when suddenly a massive lightning bolt struck incredibly close to the house, and the thunder that followed felt like a sonic boom that made us all severely flinch. The lights flickered, and the room turned pitch black. The entire house lost all electrical power. Well, almost all power.
"Are you guys okay?" I asked the others as I opened my phone to add light to the dark room.
"Yeah, we're fine, but we can't see much of anything," Kayla replied.
"So much for our game," Jim and Candace both chimed in. "Now what do we do?" I was about to say something when a blue light caught my eye. I turned around and aimed my lit-up phone at it. To my surprise – and probably everyone else's surprise – it was the blue LED light from the Nintendo Wii, and it was illuminating brighter and dimmer and brighter again in a steady pattern. Apparently the Wii was still on, but nothing was displayed on the TV screen. In fact, the Wii was the only electronic system that still had power.
"That's strange…how could the Wii possibly still have power while the rest of the house is blacked out?" Kitty had made a legitimate hypothesis. The situation with the Wii had made absolutely no logical sense, but that didn't stop me from investigating it.
"I don't know, but I'm going to find out," I answered her. I knelt in front of the Wii and touched the blue LED light, but the second I did that, it glowed brighter and brighter, and without warning it shot out and illuminated the entire room! Everyone had to shield their eyes from the blinding light as it shot through each of us. My body felt like it was being pulled forward by some force I couldn't grasp. The next thing I knew my friends and I were falling or flying through some kind of vortex.
"Ack! What's going on? What's happening to us?" Renee had cried.
"I don't know, but wherever we're headed, we could be in a world of trouble!" Will yelled back to Renee. Little did we know, Will was exactly right. Before we reached the end of the vortex, everyone seemed to lose consciousness…or at least, I did.
