Hello, readers.

Now, if you've been reading my stories before, then I might be able to predict what your thinking.

'What the heck is this story doing in my inbox?'

'Why is Butter creating ANOTHER story?'

'What the heck is Miitopia?!'

Well, I can answer at LEAST one of those questions here. Basically, this was a last minute inspiration that struck me like lightning.

Besides, I LOVE Miitopia. I knew as soon as I beat the game I wanted to make a story of it somehow.

Quick warning before we begin: this story will pretty much spoil the ENTIRE PLOTLINE of the game, so if you have ANY interest in playing it, DO NOT READ THIS STORY. You have been warned.

Now, without further delay, let's travel to a world of Mii's…

And a young man who very nearly ruined everything.

Chapter 1: When Games Invade

…

Hello.

My name is Cameron.

You may know me as that guy who was on the news a while ago.

You may know me as the guy who saved the world.

But what you likely don't know is that I…

I was the guy who nearly CAUSED the world to be destroyed.

I didn't… look, I didn't want…

*sigh*

You know what…? How about I start from the beginning?

I'll tell you the real story.

What really happened.

It all started a sunny day in spring.

One thing that you should know about me. I'm a giant video game nerd, ESPECIALLY about things from Nintendo. Odds are if a new game gets released, I've already known about it for three months ahead of time. Not to mention I have a growing collection of amiibo filling up my shelf.

(Okay, true confessions time: that last thing was a lie. I have exactly five amiibo in my collection, but I do plan to get more.)

So when I heard about the new game Nintendo was creating involving Mii's, monsters, and medals, I knew I just had to get my hands on a copy.

RPG's have always been my favorite type of games. There's just something so… so… appealing to me. Perhaps it's the rush of joy in my body when my characters reach a new level, or that these games are likely to have some sort of achievement system. Or maybe it's simply the ability to create my own character and become the star of the game. Take your pick.

Whatever the rhyme or reason, the day the game came out I rushed over to the nearest game store and bought a copy. For some reason, though, even though the game had JUST been released, there wasn't a crowd of people that were buying the game. I mean, I knew that there couldn't be many gamers where I live, but still, it was a new game. You'd think that there'd be at least a couple of people here, but the store clerks said I was the first one to buy the game all day.

When I got home, I prepared to enjoy myself. I laid back on my bed with a cold soda and popped the game out of the case. I turned on my Nintendo 3DS and quickly made sure my Mii character was exactly the way I wanted him. He was a little basic, but that's just my style. He looked more or less like me: brown eyes, messy brown hair, tall in height, and with a red shirt, my favorite color.

Once I was sure my character was to my liking, I closed Mii Maker and popped in the new game, Miitopia. The logo soon appeared on the top screen, and I could feel my excitement growing. It was time!

I pressed the A button and waited…

But then the entire handheld blinked off.

Confused, I grabbed the charger and plugged it into the wall. The orange charging light didn't turn on, even though it had worked just last night.

I was incredibly confused. Did Miitopia just break my system?

Then, as if the moment wasn't ALREADY weird enough…

The system started shaking violently.

Surprised, I dropped the handheld onto the far edge of my bed and scooted as far back as I could.

The system continued to shake, and noises started coming from it, almost like… laughing? And crying? And… so many other different voices and sounds…

The screen suddenly started glowing brightly white, the sounds amplifying three times over.

And suddenly, I passed out. I have no idea why. It just… happened.

When I woke up, nothing was right.

I was no longer in my house. I was in a green, colorful field, with plants and flowers dotting the area.

I had on my favorite shirt, which I had worn the previous day, freshly cleaned. It was, wah wah wah, a video game inspired shirt, that I had actually made myself.

My headphones were around my neck, and it was plugged into my 3DS, now in my hand. I was all-around dressed for a casual day at the store or something.

I slowly sat up, trying to get my bearings. What had just HAPPENED to me…?

Suddenly, I heard music come from my headphones. I looked down at the system, and I realized that the game was suddenly working.

I mean, it LOOKED like it at least. It was the title screen, with 'Miitopia' on it and music playing.

'What… what is happening…?!' I thought.

I tried to stand up to look around more, but I suddenly felt really sick the moment I tried. I sat back down, and the sickness went away just as fast as it came.

I looked back down at my game. The logo was still playing happy music, like nothing was wrong. But something was very clearly wrong.

However, I didn't really have much of an alternative, unless I wanted to walk around with the risk of throwing up everywhere. So I grabbed my stylus, put my headphones over one ear, and touched the start button.

A cutscene played out on the screen. But… this didn't look anything like I remembered.

Let me explain: when Nintendo released the demo to the game, I downloaded it, but I only watched the intro up to where you get to the world map. I didn't want to be spoiled at all about the plot.

But in the demo, the world of Miitopia looked like an island in the sea. Now… it looked almost EXACTLY like my state, surrounded by ocean!

Despite that, that cutscene played as normal.

'This is the world of Miitopia.' the game explained.

The view of Miitopia popped back to be just a simple picture in a frame, with a Mii sitting near it sipping a cup of what I guessed to be tea.

The screen again jumped to be another Mii watering flowers, and then one more time with two Mii's dancing together to some music.

'It is a world where every Mii can live together in peace and harmony.' the game explained.

'Or at least… it was.'

That's when the screen turned a shade of dark purple, and suddenly, the faces of the dancing Mii's flew right off their heads.

'The darkness came without warning…' the text read, jumping back to the Mii watering flowers. The purple soon washed over her, taking her face off too.

'A dark shadow threatening all of Miitopia!' the game cried, jumping to the tea drinking Mii. His face was taken, and his tea flew out of his cup in his terror, slowly blanket the entire picture of the Miitopia world.

From the now purple screen, faces started flying up into the sky, where a dark, shadowy figure was flying above, seemingly pleased. 'An unspeakably evil fiend started stealing everyone's faces!' the text read. 'And then, to add insult to injury…'

The figure thrust their massive hands downward, and all the faces flew downward.

They latched onto a bunch of other creatures, some with only eyes, some with only mouths, and some full faces.

'The fiend put the faces on monsters!' the text read, and the monsters chuckled with glee.

So did the shadowy figure. They laughed, and then they charged at the screen.

That's when the view changed to a field very similar to the one I was in right now. Slowly, the camera panned over to the side, where I could see a Mii walking.

'Behold, a simple traveler' the text read, before becoming a full view of the Mii.

Lo and behold, it was mine. And text came up, reading 'Cameron' in a fun little character banner. My Mii sighed, saying "Bit boring today…"

'Cameron is wandering around, going wherever the road takes him.' the text read.

It was at that point that Cameron's head tilted to the side, saying, "Hm? Who's that?"

He walked off screen, and the screen went black. I waited for the screen to come back, but then…

"Hello there. Are you alright?" a voice asked.

I jumped up, startled, my headphones falling off my head. I quickly turned, and was met with…

My… my Mii. Staring right at me. My eyes went as wide as dinner plates.

So did his.

"Wait… you look familiar…" he said, in my own voice.

"C… Cameron…?" I hesitantly asked.

My Mii was quiet. "...how did you know my name?"

"We… we have the same name." I explained, very confused about what is happening.

My look-alike studied me very carefully. "You… do bear a striking resemblance to me. Are you… my look-alike?"

"Look… alike?" I asked.

"There's a well-known legend among Mii-kind that they all have someone, somewhere, that they look exactly like. I always thought that it was just a legend, though…" my Mii explained.

I was having far too much trouble understanding what was going on. "Woah woah woah, hold on a minute. I… when… how…?"

It was then that my look-alike noticed the system I had in my hands. "Wait… is that…?"

I looked at my hands. The 3DS still had not moved from that blank screen.

"Where did you get that?" my Mii asked, extremely curious.

"I-I'm sorry, but… what the heck is going on here?!" I yelled, completely lost.

My Mii's eyes grew wide, saying, "Woah, woah, what do you mean?"

I slowly calmed down and, to the best of my ability, explained everything that had just happened. I spent so long explaining, a few rather large, pink butterflies came over to the nearby flowers.

"So… you bought a game called 'Miitopia'... and when you tried to play it, it started violently shaking and it flashed a bright light?" My Mii asked.

"Exactly. So… does that mean I'm in the game, or the other way around, or…?" I asked.

"Hmmm…" My look-alike hummed, in thought. He looked around a little bit while thinking. "I don't know…" he slowly stated.

He just so happened to glance up at the sky as he finished his thoughts, and suddenly he noticed something above him. "Huh?"

I looked up. Floating down from the sky, on what looked like a blue circle of light, was… a pair of Mii eyes.

The eyes slowly floated down to one of the pink butterflies that had flown in, circled it once, and then it flashed directly onto the butterfly.

When the light died down, the butterfly looked normal. "What the-?" I asked.

Then it turned around. And suddenly, now the eyes from that ball of light… were now ATTACHED to the butterfly!

They glared at us, startling my Mii so badly he ran away. I was frozen in place, completely and utterly lost at everything.

"M-my look-alike! RUN! Waaahhhh!" my Mii shouted at me, still running and screaming in fear. My legs unfroze and I quickly dashed after the Mii, the eyes on that insect still following me the entire way.

It was quite a long time before we stopped. By that time we both were properly lost. We had no idea how far we ran, nor where we ended up.

"*gasp* *wheeze* *pant*" I managed. I hated running with a burning passion. "What… what was that…?!"

"*gasp* I don't know…" my Mii gasped, recovering much quicker than me. "Where… where are we?" he asked.

I looked up to look around. "I don't know… none of this looks familiar to me at all." I responded.

My Mii continued to nervously look around, until he saw something. "Aha! Look!"

I looked in the direction he 'pointed' (more like gestured in a direction with his ball-shaped hand.).

A small town was built nearby. The nearest form of civilization for quite some time, it looked like.

The two of us looked at each other. "Guess we don't have much of an alternative." I remarked.

My Mii nodded, and the two of us sprinted for the town, though at a much more controlled pace.

I looked down at my 3DS along the way, and I was rather surprised. I saw my Mii, on what looked like the world map. A line connected where he was to where the town, now labeled as Greenhorne, was.

Experimenting, I tapped the town. The Mii on the map moved in that direction. I hit A, and the Mii entered.

"And here we are…" my Mii intoned next to me.

I looked up, bewildered. We… we were right outside the town. That should've been impossible. There was no way we traveled that quickly to the town from where we were. Unless…

I stared at the 3DS. Does this thing control reality?!

I calmed myself. 'Woah, woah, Cameron… calm down. Let's think about this logically. My 3DS might've done this whole mess to the world, but I bet I'm still under video game logic. That means traveling shouldn't take as long through the world map… right?'

A loose idea at best, but still better than anything else I could come up with.

My Mii dashed right in and started panicking to the first person he found, standing by the entrance. This person was also a Mii, and…

"Wait…" I murmured under my breath. Unless I was mistaken, that was clearly a Mii based on Bob Ross.

I started to say something, but my voice died in my throat. This was getting a little TOO crazy for me.

"Bit boring today…" Bob Ross stated, stretching his arms. He then noticed my Mii waving his arms and panicking. "What's up with you?"

My Mii quickly explained the situation, and Bob Ross seemed a little taken back. "Monsters with a person's eyes? Hah! That's a good one. Look, you just need to relax a little. Greenhorne's a peaceful place. You can leave your worries behind here."

My Mii shook his head, and then he looked back at me. "You saw it too, right?" my Mii asked.

I nodded, and Bob Ross looked between the two of us. "Huh. You both bear a rather striking resemblance to each other… but either way, you both should relax. You know, I heard the mayor is in town. If you really want to talk about this random issue, then go find him."

My Mii and I nodded, thanking Bob Ross. We slowly headed further into town.

Greenhorne did seem like quite the cozy little hamlet. There were plenty of Mii's roaming the town, some tall, some short, some boys, some girls, and everything else you could think off.

A cheery-looking woman ran a small booth near the entrance. I realized my 3DS was actually giving me each person's name as we approached them. The cheery 'granny' (she didn't look that old at all) was found out to be someone named Meloetta.

"Good morning!" the cheery lady greeted as we approached. "Isn't the weather today just bee-YEW-tiful?"

Then she saw my Mii looking not-so-happy. "Why the long face? You should smile, like me. Come on now, smile!"

I saw my Mii crack a smile. "A smile brings happiness!" Meloetta insisted, smiling broader herself.

My Mii did actually look in brighter spirits, as did I. Amidst all the confusion from what was happening around me, I was starting to loosen up.

Just past Meloetta's stand, a young Mii boy was running around in circles, full of youthful energy. Standing nearby was another woman, presumably the little boy's mother, watching the boy with a concerned expression.

"Weee! Whoo-hoo!" the boy, who was named Buzz Light, exclaimed. "I'm a dragon!" he yelled right in my Mii's face. "Rarrr!"

I shook my head playfully. "Kids…" I murmured.

My Mii seemed to share that playful outlook.

"Buzz Light, be careful!" the mother, named Bubblegum, warned. "This child has me at my wits end!"

She then noticed the two of us approaching, and quickly straightened. "O-oh! Adventurers! Please, excuse me. My child is very energetic, and it's hard to keep up with him sometimes…"

"No worries, ma'am." I insisted. "Say, do you know where the mayor of this town would happen to be right now?"

"Oh, you mean Mayor Ash?" Bubblegum asked, looking further into town. "He usually spends quite some time near the exit of town, thinking about how to better our lives. I'd look there."

"Thank you, ma'am." my Mii thanked, and the two of us went on our way.

There was another group of people further in, these two looking like a couple. A very happy couple, by the looks of things. Their names were Mick Foley and Lucoa.

"Dawww…" Mick Foley cooed, happily dancing with Lucoa.

"You're so cute, Mick Foley!" Lucoa insisted, like they had said this multiple times everyday and never tired of it.

"No, YOU'RE cute, Lucoa!" Mick Foley insisted back. "I feel as though I'm dreaming…"

"Shall I pinch you? Tee-hee!" Lucoa asked, giggling.

My Mii shook his head and then seemed to be a little… I'm not sure exactly WHAT expression he was making.

"Let's just let them be…" I whispered, tugging my Mii's arm along. He followed along.

We were almost at the exit at this point. A little bit away from the exit, walking around a bit, was another Mii, this one a bit more… sarcastic looking. You could just tell by looking at him. His name was Gastly. His smile was huge, and his eyes seemed a little bit… dark, as though he had seen things he shouldn't have. Or something. I might have just been overthinking it.

He saw us approach him, and he stared us down. "What?" he asked shortly. "We don't get many of your kind out here. You both here on vacation or something?"

I glanced back at my Mii. "Not… really. Maybe, for the time being, I guess." I responded. My Mii shrugged.

"Ooh, some kind of relaxation vacation, is it?" Gastly asked us (as if he really cared). "Must be nice for you two. I'm soooo jealous."

I didn't like this guy very much, and I'm guessing my Mii shared that feeling, because now he looked a tad miffed. But there wasn't much else to say. Gastly already walked away from us.

Eventually, the two of us made our way to the back of the town, right near the back exit. There stood one last person, and I got the feeling that this was the guy that the mother had told us about, the mayor. His clothes certainly seemed a bit more fancy than the other villagers here.

"Ah, adventurers!" the mayor said. My 3DS confirmed our suspicions that his was Mayor Ash. "Welcome to our fair town! I assume that you already have spoken to our fair residents?"

"Yes, sir." I responded.

"This seemed like a really nice town." my Mii politely agreed with a smile.

Mayor Ash nodded. "Greenhorne's a peaceful, pleasant town." Then with a rub to his neck, he added with a laugh, "But I'm the mayor, so I'd have to say that anyway."

It was then that a dark shadow descended over the town. I looked up. Dark clouds were suddenly rolling in, clouds that hadn't been there five seconds ago.

"H-huh?!" Ash shouted, looking up at the clouds as well.

He wasn't the only one. All across the village, the villagers we had interacted with were looking up at the sudden clouds coming directly our way. Many of them were muttering words of worry, or even panic, and some seemed just plain afraid.

"O-oh… oh no… it's…" Ash murmured, fearfully cowering on the spot.

My Mii and I were just plain puzzled.

And then the surroundings around me became dark. Like, inky black dark.

"What the-" I stated, noticing that everything around me suddenly… vanished. The town, the sky, the villagers, even my Mii, who had been right next to me, was gone. Or something.

Suddenly, I heard noise coming from my 3DS. I looked down at it, and I realized something: it was having me input something.

I slid my headphones back on. Old-timey sounding music was playing, kinda like old-timey intermission music for a play or something. And then I noticed what the top screen was asking me for.

"The Dark Lord… 'A wicked presence who rules monsters from the shadows!'" I read aloud. There was a picture above that description, but where a face should've been, there was nothing more than a question mark face.

The system prompted me to input a character to play as the Dark Lord. I stared at that. 'Wait, I have to assign the Dark Lord? And… why would I want to?'

Then I realized: the whole world has been transformed into the video game. By that logic, if I was to beat the game, then I would hopefully return the world to normal. It was the best idea I had at the time, anyway. I mean, what else COULD I have done?

And to progress anyway in this game, I guess I had no choice but to make a character to become the main villain of the game. 'That's… actually really cool.' I thought, the ideas of who to play as the villain of the game flowing through me.

Then, I looked back up at the description. I focused on the words, 'monsters' and 'rules'.

And suddenly, it clicked.

I quickly tapped some buttons on the system, my character already built into my mind, quickly making a new Mii. In moments, the Dark Lord was now assigned. Feel free to groan if you will, but I decided to make the Dark Lord one of my personal favorite video game characters, Chara from Undertale.

Sue me, okay? I'm a nerd. What do you expect?

Anyway, the darkness around me faded away, back to Greenhorne, but now the clouds were directly over us. And… I heard something.

And suddenly, the Dark Lord appeared before us.

He certainly fit THAT name, I'll say that. He wore a large, dark purple-gray magician's coat. They were really freaking big, almost double, if not triple the size of most Mii's. Their hands had long, horrible fingernails. Their hair was wide and purple, and just screamed 'villian.' But the worst part of them was around his neck, he wore a large golden medallion in the shape of an eye. It seemed to darkly glow with evil energy. It amplified the terror of anyone who saw this Dark Lord.

Their face was exactly what I expected: Chara. I tried my best to make sure it looked as accurate to the game they are based on as possible, right down to the rosy cheeks and permanent smile. Even the eyes were red, thanks to Miitopia's extensive hair and eye color options.

"Mwa-hahahaaha!" Dark Lord Chara laughed evilly. "I am Dark Lord Chara! I'm here to wreck havoc on this miserable little world, and I'm starting with YOU, people of Greenhorne!"

I stepped back in fear. My Mii half-hid behind me.

Over by the entrance where we came from, suddenly, Buzz Light's face suddenly flew off. "Mama!" the face cried while it floated away.

"Buzz Light!" Bubblegum yelled, cowering next to her faceless son.

At the entrance, Meloetta's face flew off as well, and so did Bob Ross's. Nearby, Lucoa's face flew away, much to Mick Foley's dismay, and even Gastly had his face swiped.

Mayor Ash cowered near us, completely unprepared for this. "Th-this is awful… t-their faces!"

The five stolen faces gathered around Dark Lord Chara, and he seemed pleased. "Hm. This will do for now."

He then shouted aloud, "Listen up you faceless freaks! Get used to a life of wordless terror, because that's what your stuck with!"

Buzz Light was still panicking, and he quickly ran into a wall he couldn't see.

"And for those of you that have been spared…" the Dark Lord warned, looking around. My Mii and I took another step back nervously.

"Gaze around at all of your little friends… AND DESPAIR! MUHAHAHAHAHA!"

And with that happy thought, the Dark Lord closed their hands over their chest and teleported away somewhere, the faces going with him.

The Mayor was in pieces. "H-how could this happen… Greenhorne's a peaceful town…" he murmured, still cowering.

"Come on." I mumbled to my Mii. "Let's go see the others."

My Mii nodded grimly.

Gastly said nothing as we approached. He had no choice, seeing as he had no mouth. All he was as just a body with a head, with no eyes or mouth or anything. Even his nose outline had been taken.

Lucoa was no better. "L-Lucoa's pretty face! Taken!" Mick Foley exclaimed, shaking badly. "Now she can't even whisper sweet nothings…"

My Mii and I were a little taken back at that last bit, and we slowly backed away without a word.

However, it was as we approached Bubblegum and Buzz Light that something happened. "My little Buzz Light! Face… taken!"

Then she noticed us. "Oh! Adventurers! Please, I beg of you, you have to save my little boy!"

My Mii barely even hesitated. "Of course ma'am! We will help you!"

I stared at him. "Dude. What are you doing?" I asked nervously.

"We have to help her! Her child is faceless!" my Mii whispered back.

Before I could get another word in, Bubblebum looked truly relieved. "Oh, thank the heavens above… but I can't let you go with nothing… here. You should take this."

Bubblegum removed her decorative pendent and handed it to me. It was rather fancy-looking amulet, with leather for a string and gold details. "This amulet has been in my family for generations. It's always given me luck when I needed it."

I slowly put the amulet around my neck. "Thank you, ma'am…" I slowly replied, stammering a little.

"The Dark Lord can't have gone far… he might be around the outskirts of Greenhorne." Bubblegum guessed. "Please, save my Buzz Light!"

"We will, ma'am! Count on it!" my mii replied confidently.

He dashed for the exit, leaving me dashing right behind him.

As we exited, I saw that my 3DS was showing the World Map again. I moved my Mii to the new area that just opened up, the one with the '!' mark, and entered that area.

In seconds, now we were in a field similar to where we started, though the sky here looked a little more purple than the first, as if it was later in the day.

As we entered, we were quickly stopped in our tracks by the sudden appearance of the Dark Lord again, now right in front of us. "Mwaaa ha ha haaaa! Is someone trying to be the big hero?" Chara asked sarcastically.

My Mii looked a little less confident than he did moments before. Nevertheless, he steeled himself and yelled determinedly, "Give Buzz Light's face back!"

"Yeah! What he said!" I agreed. Man, that was lame.

The Dark Lord simply laughed at us. He waved his hand, and from the sky a face, Buzz Light's face to be exact, flew down in front of him. "What, this ol' thing?" he asked.

We nodded angrily. "Hrmm…" Dark Lord Chara mused. "Maybe I will give this one back to you two… but you'll have to earn it!"

He waved his hands together, and suddenly a yellow pulsing blob appeared. With a start, my Mii and I realized that the Dark Lord just created a yellow slime in front of us, easily as big as us.

I suddenly felt very small. My Mii looked little better.

"How good are you in a fight?" Dark Lord Chara asked sarcastically.

"Eeep…!" my Mii managed to say.

The Dark Lord waved his hand, and then Buzz Light's face quickly attached to the yellow blob. Suddenly the blob was a slime with an expressionless Buzz Light's face attached to it.

"Be seeing you! If you survive, that is!" The Dark Lord laughed, and then they teleported away.

Leaving us alone with an angry pile of goo in front of us.

"Ummm…" I stammered, backing away very slightly.

"Ermm…" My Mii stammered as well, backing away a little too.

The slime lunged forward. We jumped back, just barely avoiding the smack to the face.

The slime angrily moved forward again, and we started trying to run away. But we didn't know the area very well, and suddenly we realized we were cornered against a rock and a hard place. Literally.

The slime slowly approached, already knowing that we couldn't move anywhere. My Mii was cowering in place, wailing in fear.

Seeing that, I grew a little upset. My Mii was in danger and I couldn't do anything. Or could I?

I stood in front of him, bravely holding my arms in front of him. "You want him, you gotta get through me first, slimeball!" I yelled, sounding much braver than I really felt.

My Mii, though still cowering behind me, looked at me in total surprise.

Just as the yellow blob rushed forward quickly and swung its body at me…

The amulet around my neck started glowing.

The slime reeled back, the stolen face stuck to it contorting to one of annoyance.

And suddenly, the world around me and my Mii became different.

We were in a glowing area of purple and blue, and… it felt peaceful. But in a way that felt only temporary, like staying in a hotel.

"Wh… what…?" My Mii squeaked, looking around worriedly.

And then a second voice called out, "Cameron, and… er, Cameron… can you hear me?"

The two of us looked around wildly. "Wh-who's there?!" I called out, seeing no one.

"Er, yes?" My Mii responded, looking around as well.

"Ho ho! It seems as though you can hear me! Excelent!" the unknown voice responded, sounded happy. It sounded holy. I couldn't really tell if it was male or female. Perhaps genderless?

"What? If you're there, show yourself!" I demanded.

"Do not look for me. I am not… there, per say. I am speaking to you through the amulet around your neck…" the voice responded.

I quickly took the amulet off my neck. With every word the voice spoke, the amulet glowed along with it. "Now, you both may not believe this, but I'm a guardian spirit of a sort. I have lived in this amulet for many years, but only now have I truly awoken."

My Mii and I said the exact appropriate response for that statement: "Whaaaaat?!"

The voice made a sound that sounded like a sigh. "Please, this is already going to be confusing to explain. Just hear me out, okay?"

The voice paused for a moment, before continuing, "It would seem that the two of you are in a little bit of trouble. Would you like a little help?"

I glanced at my Mii. "Uhhh… I… guess?" I responded, moreso asking my Mii.

My Mii nodded. "Couldn't hurt."

The voice seemed happy. "Ho ho! Perfect! I, er, bestoweth upon thee, the awesome power of the guardian!"

The guardian made yelling sounds, and all of the sudden my Mii became awash in holy golden light.

When the light faded, all of a sudden he was different. His outfit changed. No longer did he wear basic adventuring garb. Now, he wore a crisp, white uniform, a short red apron below the waist, a red handkerchief tied in a knot around the neck,, and a slightly-oversized hat of a chef. In his hand, he held a frying pan, so clean it must've been store-bought.

With a start, I realized my Mii had just been transformed into a Chef. I remembered that as being one of the classes of the game.

My Mii quickly looked at his entire body, in total surprise. "Would you take a look at that? How do I look?" he asked.

"Very professional. Like you should be cooking for food critics." I replied honestly, my own eyes wide.

"Ho ho! Seems though the transformation was a success!" the Guardian stated, pleased by their work. "This new job should the perfect way to deal with the Dark Lord's fiends! Now fight, O Cameron! Make your foes fear you!"

The voice faded away, as did the peaceful area around us.

Leaving us back in the middle of a field, with an annoyed slime wiggling in front of us.

My Mii took one look around, then quickly stretched his arm in preparation. "Here goes nothing." he mumbled, his face much more confident now than before.

And he charged forward.

My 3DS dinged at me, and a name appeared on it. 'Mini Buzz Light Slime' the system said, as the slime in question slowly wobbled forward towards us, more focused on my Mii. Probably for the best, anyway. I didn't get transformed in any way, I would be as useful as a wet towel in this fight.

The slime moved forward and slammed its whole body into my Mii's leg, quickly causing a small bruise to appear there. My Mii grimaced a little, but nevertheless stood up again just as before.

He looked at me. I stared back. "W… what are you doing?" I asked.

"I'm waiting for you to tell me what to do." he answered, gesturing towards my 3DS.

I looked down, confused. I realized my 3DS was asking for me to decide what my Mii should do, now that it was his turn.

With little other choice, I tapped 'Attack.' I then tapped on the only enemy around us, the slime.

My Mii quickly held up his frying pan over his head, then ran forward and bashed it directly into the slimes stolen face, making it reel backwards.

My Mii moved again, and with another attack the slime seemed weak, like it was losing strength. It still moved forward and bashed my Mii, however, and it was just as strong as ever.

I was getting a little worried. My Mii was losing health, and we didn't have any way to restore it right now. I quickly instructed him to attack one more time, however, and then the slime slumped over, and it's stolen eyes closed.

We… we did it.

"Did… did we do it?" I asked hesitantly, approaching the slime.

Suddenly, my 3DS beeped again. I looked at the system. It was telling me to point it at the fallen slime, for some reason.

I turned it around, and out of nowhere the system violently started shaking. I lurched forward as the system felt like it was trying to drag me forward. The slime's body quickly moved towards me, though it was as though it was getting dragged over to me.

A vortex of code and data lines formed from the screens, and the slime quickly got caught into that vortex. With a sharp popping sound, the slime was sucked right into my 3DS, and the face that had been on it quickly flew away from the system.

"Buhhh?" the face asked us, before flying away into the sky and out of sight.

As soon as the area became peaceful again, my Mii and I collapsed to the ground, out of exhaustion for him and sheer confusion for me.

"Whew…" my Mii murmured, rubbing his forehead. A small bruise was visible on his arm, and a tiny cut was on his hand, but other than that he looked fine, if not a bit battered.

"Excellent work, young Cameron duo!" the Guardian praised, my amulet glowing again. "You two dispatched that slime as if you'd done it a hundred times before!"

"Aww, it was nothing…" my Mii denied bashfully, smiling all the same.

"Now that child should be safe." the Guardian explained. "All looks quite well, if I may be so bold to claim! You two should head back to Greenhorne to see how the child is doing."

The two of us nodded, and we quickly turned around and ran for Greenhorne.

The sky became darker as we approached, the dark clouds still thick overhead and the feeling of despair very prominent everywhere.

We approached Buzz Light, and we saw his face slowly float down from the sky. It circled him once, and then popped right back where it should go.

He placed his hand against his head, as if testing that his face was actually back. When he realized it was, he jumped up for joy, crying out, "Yaaaa!"

"Buzz Light!" a voice called out. Bubblegum was charging forward, her eyes very misty at the sight of her saved child. "Oh, Buzz Light! Are you okay?!"

"I'm fine, Mama!" Buzz Light agreed happily, embracing his mother.

"Oh, Buzz Light…" Bubblegum breathed, hugging her child very close to her.

Bubblegum finally released her child, turned back to us, who were just watching this entire exchange with happy faces. I was very nearly moved to tears. It was just so touching…

"Adventurers, I cannot thank you enough for this." Bubblegum thanked, sounding beyond relieved. "Here. The least I can do is give you this."

From a pocket, Bubblegum procured a small pouch, filled with a mass of two-hundred golden coins.

"Oh, no, ma'am, we can't accept-" I tried to argue.

"No buts. Please, you deserve it." the mother insisted, smiling happily at me. Without a second word otherwise, the pair walked away happily.

"Can't argue with a gift." my Mii smirked.

I tucked the money away for now, still a little weirded out by what was happening in the world.

Suddenly, for no apparent reason, the world around the two of us became the peaceful holy area. We looked around for but a moment before our Guardian spoke to us again.

"Ho ho! Splendid work, you two!" the Guardian praised. "Now then, Cameron and Cameron, my children… I have a task for the two of you."

"Erm… you do?" my Mii asked hesitantly.

"You now have seen the horrible deeds of Dark Lord Chara, and the horror they plan to cause on the world. So I hereby commissioned the two of you…"

I gulped nervously.

"Defeat the vile Chara, and save Miitopia!" our Guardian insisted us.

I glanced over at my Mii. "I feel as though we don't have a choice either way…" I murmured.

My Mii nodded. "I felt just the same. Still, you have to admit that if our Guardian didn't make me a Chef, we'd probably not be here right now. We have a debt to pay."

I agreed, though a tad hesitantly. "Okay. Then I guess we shall!" I said aloud.

"I'm very happy to hear you say that! You're new powers should help you defeat monsters. Now go, Chef Cameron and… erm, other Cameron! Make your foes fear you!"

The both of us nodded. Suddenly, I heard the Guardian's voice again, but this time it felt more in my head alone. "You can still save your world, you know. Follow your Mii. Keep him safe, become friends with him. Your system will help you when you defeat a monster. You will return that enemy to the game itself. You must work with your Mii to revert your world to what it was."

'But… I can't fight.' I muttered in my head.

"About that… I might be able to work on something… but I don't have enough power to do so. In any case, help your Mii. Capture defeated monsters and force them back into your system. Every monster you return will help restore the world, if only a little bit." the Guardian whispered.

I nodded. 'I… I guess I have to. I can't leave… er, myself, alone out here.'

"Excellent! I will watch over your group. Please, you MUST save the world of Miitopia!" the Guardian insisted.

And then the scenery finally faded away, back to a distraught Greenhorne.

Me and my Mii looked at each other, nodded, and then ran for the exit.

We had a long road ahead of us.

But there was only one way to go from here.

Secretly, I was excited as to what this journey would present to itself.

Only time would tell.

So yeah. What do you guys think?

I went ahead and looked at the other Miitopia stories (many of which are really good and I highly recommend giving a read), and I am fairly certain I'm the first one to try an OC insert to this game. Makes sense, really.

Anyway, I hope that you guys have enjoyed this first chapter! I'm REALLY excited to write out this story.

Oh, and in case you wondering, part of the reason I wanted to make this story in the first place was that I was the one who asked FanFiction if they could make a Miitopia category for stories.

Yep. I'm not joking on that one. Since it seems to have several people interested enough to make stories, I figured that I should make my own story for it as well.

If you guys have any questions for me, be sure to PM me and I'll do my best to answer them for you.

I hope you guys like this new story! Stay tuned for Chapter 2, but until then…

Stay awesome!
