I don't own Pong. I do, however, own the characters Pong Ball and Bad Ball.

Chapter 1: Pong

In the beginning, there was no Pong. Then the Creator of the Universe got bored with watching the dull universe. He was really bored with watching humans and Martians and…other things.

So the Creator of the Universe said, "Let there be Pong!" So another universe was created, this one called Pong. This universe consisted of only one creature: a single white block that was bounced back and forth between two larger white blocks. The universe was shrouded in darkness for many millennia and still the white block was bounced back and forth without end. It did not care what happened to it. The white block lived to be sent back and forth between the two large white blocks.

Then a disaster occurred. One day, one of the blocks moved too far to one side and the small white block was sent spinning away into infinite darkness. It was gone forever, so the Creator of the Universe created another white block. Every time that a block fell away into the void of the universe, another one took its place.

Meanwhile, in the other, populated universe that was filled with diverse planets and stars and races and other crap, the Creator of the Universe decided to create a sort of window that would lead from the populated universe into the Pong universe. He, the Creator of the Universe, introduced this in the form of a video game called Pong, which gave the player a glimpse into the alternate universe. The player could control one of the big white blocks as they tried to bounce the Pong ball back and forth. Every time the Pong ball disappeared off-screen you would score if you had knocked it into the part of off-screen that was guarded by the other white block.

The Creator of the Universe was pleased with His invention of Pong. However, soon, other, manmade video games arose and Pong was forgotten. The Creator of the Universe decided that Pong had had a good run, but it was time to destroy the universe of white blocks upon a black background.

So He pulled the plug, and Pong was gone.

However, what should have been left dead was resurrected. A new generation of Pong, manmade and synthetic, created by humans, rose up. These soulless, moneymaking gambits took the place of the once mighty universe.

The Creator of the Universe was not pleased that His creation had been spoiled and defiled by lowly humans. So He decided that he would destroy the imposter Pong. In the year twenty-five twenty-four of the Earth calendar, the Creator of the Universe created the Pong universe once again. He rained copies of it down onto the planet, and soon a bloody war was being raged. It would come to be known as the War of Pong.

Half of the planet formed an army called the Pong Liberation Army. They waged war against the other half of the planet, the Elite Pong Force. The Liberation Army only played copies of the original Pong, while the Pong Force played the next-generation, manmade Pong.

Years later, on December fifth, twenty-five ninety-five, the two forces had a battle. General Rather B. Fishing of the Pong Liberation Army and Commander Johnny B. Good of the Elite Pong Force met and played a game of Pong. They had a best four-out-of-five series. Two games were played on the original Pong and two were played on the fake Pong. Johnny B. Good won, and the Pong Liberation Army was destroyed. Imposter Pong games ruled the world.

However that four-out-of-five series sent repercussions throughout the whole of creation. The Creator of the Universe was horrified that a copycat had destroyed his creation. However, inside the Pong universe, strange changes were happening. The original Pong universe had been introduced to fake Pong and parts of the two universes had merged. The result was a raging monster known as the Bad Pong Ball. The Bad Pong Ball was red, and everything it touched blew up. Many other balls, both of the original Pong and the fake Pong, died trying to stop the Bad Pong Ball. Nobody succeeded, and the Bad Pong Ball continued to destroy the world of Pong.

The Creator of the Universe decided that he had to shut down Pong once and for all. Little did he know that it was raging out of control, beyond his power. He destroyed the universe of Pong. The entire original Pong and the entire manmade Pong were gone. However, there were two survivors who were somehow warped into the world of men.

They were the insane Bad Pong Ball and the only other remaining Pong survivor, Pong Ball. The two were both captured by scientists of the Elite Pong Force and studied. The scientists decided to keep the two balls a secret, hidden deep within a laboratory. Now this is how the rest of the tale unfolds…
