FINALLY! I COULDN'T STAND THE WAIT ANY LONGER...
So, before the actual story, let's get on with all the legalities and such:
1) There is no possible way in the Milky Way that I could even be considered to come and own the respectable Nintendo corporation who owns all the rights to the plot summary of this fantastic game and - dare I say - this fanfic. They also own the NPC such as Dimentio and Blumiere and Nassy and the such.
2) I OWN THE OCs IN THIS! They are mine, and mine alone are they! These characters are copyrighted by me, trademarked by me, and restricted by me. And if you see these characters in the future (near of far, hopefully near...), then I probably wrote that book so don't accuse the author of stealing what is mine, because it is also the author's since that author will be me! And don't accuse me of stealing these characters way before the release date of said future book, for (again) I did not steal these characters. I think I've made the point clear that: characters=me=book-to-come.
So the way that this works is that every week, I'll update this story (with occasional early chappies thrown into the mix). Easy. And all you have to do is read and leave positive criticism (if you wish). Again, easy. I have enough chapters to last at least/most thirty-one-ish weeks, so these updates will remain strict.
This story is not for the feint of heart- that is, people who haven't played the game yet. This story will have tips, tricks, spoilers, real life experiences (I play as I write), and bloopers. For those select blasphemous few, I recommend that you favorite this for now, play the game, come back AFTER you beat it via browsing your favorites list, favorite alert if you love, and then continue on with your life.
So, after about 43 hours of game play - give or take a few - I give you: SUPER PAPER PHRED!!!
Ahem! Today...
I'll tell you the story of
the lost book of prophecies.
This prophetic book was
a mysterious tome full of
stories of future events.
Of course, many people
craved this book, wishing to
glimpse their futures.
But no person, after
obtaining this amazing book
ever found happiness.
The reason? The book
held frightful secrets not
meant for people's eyes.
That book came to be
called the Dark Prognosticus
and was sealed away.
This… is the tale of that
forgotten book's last owner.
This is a tale of love…

"Ooh… Oooooh… What happened to me… what is this place?"
"Bleh heh heh heh heh heh… Oh, you're awake Rachel!"
"Wait, what?" the girl addressed as Rachel asked. She opened her eyes slowly, as to not get a headache, to find that a creepy, blue man in a multicolored cape staring at her. He also wore a white top hat and a monocle. Across from her, behind a sort of fountain, stood her brother.
"…RAY?"
"Don't ask. I'm as confused as you are." Rachel nodded and turned her head back to the count.
"What is going on here?" Before the count could even want to answer, a blue woman with bubble-gum pink hair, red glasses, and a secretarial demeanor flipped into the gazebo from nowhere.
"Count! Yeah, um, 'K, so preparations are complete…" she informed, gaining his attention.
"Mmm… Then it shall be begun… by Count Bleck!" He turned back to the one named Ray.
"Raymond, emotional savior of Elm and Et… do you take Rachel to be your lawfully wedded wife 'ti-"
"Are you kidding? NO! She's my sister! I don't want my children to have webbed digits!" The secretary didn't like his tone of voice; she took action. She lowered her glasses, which triggered a bright light. After it subsided, two sets of red lines formed squares around him and started spinning around. All of this caused Ray to loose his balance and fall to the floor.
"Ray! What are you doing to him?!"
"Yeah, um, being rude to the esteemed count is sort of frowned on, 'K? So yeah." She told Rachel.
"But what are you doing to him?" The blue woman ignored the question and asked Ray what the count asked him.
"Uhn… Nuh… No… I don't believe in incest…" Both the count and the blue woman wore faces of shock after that resistance. Rachel smiled and sighed in relief.
"Gee," the count's right-hand woman started, "You sure are a fighter. But yeah, no one withstands my super-hypnosis, sorry." She then hit Ray with another wave of red lines; that added two more squares. "'I do.' Say it now, 'K?"
"Oooh… Ooooh oh… ……I…I…do……" The count cackled.
"Bleh heh heh heh heh heh! Was it really that hard? …Count Bleck directed to the fallen teenager." He said. "Now it's your turn, Rachel. Do you, Rachel, take Raymond to be your lawfully wedded husband 'til your games be over?"
"…Will that woman behind me do what she did to Ray to me if I refuse?" she asked, taking a glance back at the floating woman.
"Yes."
"Then I… uneasily do." The ground rumbled as she said those words. The fountain started glowing black… BLACK? "What's going on? What did I do?" Rachel asked. No one answered and the ground only shook harder. Heart-shaped ripples penetrated the air from where the fountain stood.
~*-SPP-*~
A girl lay on the white, marble floor practically unconscious. Nevertheless, she woke up to an unfamiliar atmosphere.
"What in the world…? What am I doing here?" She looked up. Dozens of stairs away, she spotted her best friend and boyfriend. "Wait, is that Rachel with… RAY?" The girl of African-American descent dashed to the stairs to save her friends.
~*-SPP-*~
The ground had to have been still for about ten seconds before the fountain produced a black heart. The count raised his arms up in a victorious pose, revealing the underside of his cloak.
"Bleh heh heh heh heh heh! BLECK! Yes, all precisely as written in the Dark Prognosticus! Already it is unleashed! THE CHAOS HEART!!!"
"Oh, yeah, um, congratulations, Count…" The count silently thanked his secretary.
"STOP!" a voice not previously used in the wedding scene called out. Yet one of the surprised (and conscious) people answered the plea.
"IEDA? What're you- never mind that, help!" Rachel yelled. The count turned to the blue woman and asked her a question.
"Who is she? …Asked Count Bleck."
"According to Rachel, Ieda. I think that-"
"Stop mumbling and give me my friends back!" She jumped to heroically interfere with the events, but instead tripped over Ray, knocked over the fountain, defied gravity and jumped on the Chaos Heart and landed next to Rachel somewhat gracefully.
"Rachel, are you alright?"
"Yeah, I thi- wait, what's going on now?"
"It's the Heart! It's going berserk! Count, take cover!" It was too late. The Chaos Heart already unleashed a light of destructive nature. Everything was gone.
~*-SPP-*~
Well, not everything. The Chaos Heart and the greenish-blue background remained. Some amount of time later, the count flipped into view, accompanied with a black, decorated book and his blue assistant.
"Um, yeah, so are you all right, Count?"
"Fools… Pointless acts like these will earn you only pain… from Count Bleck! Very well. As the Chaos Heart is secured, those worthless Heroes are of no use now."
"Um, so, yeah, Count… This means you may turn to a new page of dark prophecies…" At that, the Count raised his hands up as if to command the Heart.
"Open your mouth, darkness! Consume everything and destroy all worlds, as told in the prophecy! BLECK!" The Chaos Heart understood and released that same destructive light, only this time it was aimed at every world in the Super Paper Mario game.
…Speaking of Mario, where was his original character portrayal? Well, let's start from even before all of these events: before the teenage Heroes were sucked up into the game…
So satisfied with this. This is the only chapter I used the internet for... anyway, I'm posting the next chapter after this one so you don't go away unhappy. It should take only a few minutes.
