(Hello, everyone! This is the first chapter to my new story, N64 Adventures. This is like a multi game crossover, with Donkey Kong 64, Sonic the Hedgehog and a couple of fragments here and there from Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie. I recommend listening to the AstorothSound remix versions of the songs noted in the beginning of each chapter. DISCLAMER: I own nothing in this story except for my OC's. This story will randomly switch between the POVs of different characters.)
Prologue: Sonic's POV
"No. No, no, no, no, no, no no nooo!" I yelled. I was sitting at home, playing Donkey Kong 64 on this old game console Silver had pulled out of the closet yesterday. "Dude, you're going to fast! You're gonna hit the gate!" Silver said behind me. And sure enough, the mine cart my character was racing in ran headfirst into a big metal gate, resulting in the loss of 3 of my hard-earned coins. "You're supposed to jump there so you can activate the switch and open the gate!" "Chaos, this is so hard! I want to see you try this, Silver!" I told him. "I'll try it when you're done on the mine cart race. Watch the log!" he yelled. A big log fell on the tracks and it landed before I could jump over it. "Aw, goddammit! This would be much easier if you didn't keep yelling about everything, you know." I yelled. Silver fell silent for a while, and I tried to beat the stupid mine cart thing. I did do a little better without him yelling at me, but I still failed at it.
That's around where Shadow came in. "What are you two doing?" He said. He watched as Silver took the controller and beat the mine cart race for me. "And that's how you do it. Get it right next time." Silver said. I just grabbed the controller away from him. "Show off." I mumbled. "Hey, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't even gotten past Angry Aztec, which is my specialty level." He said. There was a hint of pride in his voice, which is unusual, considering that it's Silver. "At least I made it through Jungle Japes on my own. That much counts, right?" I said. Silver just scoffed. "The first level doesn't count unless you clear it perfectly, which you didn't." He said. I almost wanted to punch him at that point. "At least I freed Diddy. That much does count." I said. "Good point." He said after a while.
"Can I try at it?" Shadow asked. "Sure, what the heck." I said. I gave him the controller and he sat down. He went towards some level that was a factory of some sort. Freaky Factory, is that it? No, it was Frantic Factory. Yeah, that's it. Anyways, he went in and just did everything you'd need to do. Kill the bad guys, complete the challenges, find the Golden Bananas, et cetera. When he finally got to the boss, it was some huge, weird thing that looked like a cyborg Mobian crocodile with long spiky hair on the back of its head. Only instead of legs, there was a giant spring attached to a box. "What the hell?" Both Shadow and I said at the same time. Silver stayed silent. I thought I heard him whisper something at one point. It sounded like he said, "Mad Jack," but I wasn't sure.
After the big fight, a large golden key flew up from the remains of the Psyco-Jack-In-The-Box-From-Hell and landed on the platform where the character was. Shadow smirked. "Not that hard." He said. "Still super freaky, though." He added. I nodded in agreement. "What are these keys for, anyway?" He asked. Silver, again, stayed silent. "Silver!" Shadow kicked the white hedgehog. "OW! You didn't have to kick me, you know!" Silver said. "The keys are used to free a big crocodile in a cage. The crocodile will help you at the end of the game." Shadow raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything in response to that.
After a while, Shadow put down the game controller and sat back. He sighed. "I don't know about you guys, but I think that thing I just fought is possibly the coolest thing in the game." He told us. "That's where you're wrong, Shad." I said. "Obviously Army Dillo, the boss of the first level, is cooler." "I hate to throw ants in your picnics, guys, but you're both mistaken." Silver said. "It's very obvious that the Angry Aztec boss, Dogadon, is the coolest." "Why are we even arguing about this?" I asked myself. "I have no idea." Silver said. "We're just gaming freaks, arguing about which boss in a video game from the 80s is coolest." There was a long pause of silence after he said that, then we all just started laughing. Even Shadow seemed to lighten up a bit.
Then something really weird happened. The game in the console began to glow. It was an unnatural white glow, and it was making the TV go all wonky. "Um, guys, we may have a problem here." Silver said. He pointed at the glowing cartridge, which was now starting to make a loud whirring sound. "LOOK OUT! SHE'S GONNA BLOW!" Shadow yelled. We all ducked and covered when a bright flash came.
All I remember after that was falling. I was falling down, down, down for what seemed like forever until I landed in the ground with a loud crash.
(And that's where I'll leave it for now. Please read, review and like it. No flames, please.)
