Nightmare Uprising
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the seven stars fanfic
Rating: K+ (For violence later on…just in case. Rating MIGHT change)
Oh, and just a minor warning beforehand, there's gonna be a few references and puns throughout the story.
It started out like any other day…
I was walking down Market Street in Starlight Town…just minding my own business, browsing the various goods people were selling…I could've sworn that raptor dude was looking at me like I was his dinner. Oh, guess I may as well explain that…the town is sort of in the middle of a crossroad between different worlds, so tons of people from all over come here. Well, you'd think that the 'Kingdom Hearts' gang were the only ones who could traverse between worlds, huh? Well, there were a TON of people who could do that long before my –GRANDMA- was born.
Anyway, my friend Kei is a sort of Enforcer of worlds. She is a Nightbane. They keep the balance between light and dark in worlds. She's not the only one, though…I bet you're falling asleep while reading this, aren't you? I understand. History is boring to some…but that's not why you clicked the link to read this, huh? On with the actual story, then…

Chapter 1: An Offer I Can't Refuse
'Geez, for an inter-dimensional marketplace it's soooo boring.' I walked around the place and nothing seemed to interest me…all of the semi-humanoid shopkeepers looked like they wanted to eat me, kill me, or a combination of both.
"Psst! Young lady! Over here!" Someone called.
I looked to my side and saw a tan-skinned man in a red vest calling me over.
"Excuse me, miss…I'm selling this old console I have, and you look to be quite the gamer." I took a step back. I was in 'Red Flag' mode.
"How'd you know I was a gamer…?"
"You have your Gameboy bag slung over your arm."
Oh yeah…I forgot about that. I walked over to him. He seemed like a good guy. He had his eyes the way Brock does in Pokèmon…how can he see?
"So…what console are you trying to sell…"
"Oh, I know what you're thinking! 'I hope he's not ripping me off!' don't worry, young miss!"
That made me a little less tense. But I still kept my guard up.
"I'm selling this old SNES…I fixed and cleaned it up a bit, it works, but judging by the usage of it…I'd say it will cost you around…11 dollars…but I can take any other currency you have…I'll even throw in this game…" He showed me a game cartridge. I looked at it closely…
"No. Freakin' Way." It was Super Mario RPG. It was like a gift from Miyamoto himself.
"…Do you take Canadian?"
"Yes." I got the console and paid him.
"My name is Mardik, by the way. If you have any problems with your game, I'd be glad to help…"
I took one last look before I left…I closed my eyes…nothing. I didn't feel any malicious intent from him. I shrugged it off and ran to Kei's house.
Mardik grinned wickedly. "Enjoy your game…"
