Disclaimer: I do not own the 3DS. Well, actually, I do, but not in the way that I'm the producer of it. I do claim ownership on most characters, though. … Wait a moment. If the 3DS is copyrighted, and I'm using it anyway, and then I'm kind of copyrighting my characters… Nah, just let's start with the story.


What's it called again? In media res?

The nearby earth shocked. The tremor shot throughout the whole building, causing books and posters to fall off. The boy, the only person in the building, looked up from his 3DS the sound of a game over resounding throughout the building on the rhythm of the aftershock.

In media res. It's a term to describe how a story starts.

The earth shock even heavier, causing not only posters and books to fall the ground, but also seats and the boy. Seats, that were never occupied due the lack of fans. Why again had he gone on such stupid travel to found this fan club, the boy wondered as he stood up. His first reaction was to check if his 3DS was intact, then to check himself. No heavy wounds nor scratches on both of them. Was this an earthquake?

What kind of a start, you ask me? Well…

One moment. Just in one moment, all he had accomplished in his small and rather pathetic life, was destroyed. A robot, just a little larger than the height of a room, smashed part of the building apart, creating a huge gaping hole.

In media res describes a start where the reader is dumped straight into the action of the story.

BOSS: MYSTERIOUS ROBOT

"TARGET HAS BEEN FOUND IN COTTON BAG." The young boy screamed out in fear, a late reaction to the huge robot. The robot had a mostly human like form. The main differences were that its head was connected directly to the main body, and that the arms were replaced by huge machine guns. The boy at least thought they were machine guns, not ever having seen guns before in his life. He quickly ran away to a corner of the room, which was falling apart due the huge hole. A worry for later.

"LIVING BEINGS AROUND: ONE. WORTHYNESS FOR GENIUS PROFESSOR SAPIENTIA: ZERO. RESULTS OF SCAN: KIDNAPPING: NO. KILLING: ONLY IF HE ATTACKS. IGNORING: BEST CHOICE." The robot's breast plate jumped open, and out of it came some kind of griper, which was moving to his rucksack. The rucksack, with his homework in it!

The boy could not let that robot steal his homework! Or his mobile for that matter. He could use either that or his 3DS (the later indirectly, though) to call the police. He heard that a cop who could manipulate metal was hired. That could be useful now.

So he ran to his rucksack, grabbed it and his 3ds and continued to run towards the door. The robot did not like this plan, though.

"LIVING BEING STEALS ITEM. BEST CHOICE: KILL HIM." The machine guns started rolling, the shooting alarming the boy to what was happening. He quickly ducked, dodging most bullets. Except for one: his left arm quickly became numb, refusing any order from his brain from now on.

"Shoot, shoot!" The boy cursed as his grey sweater slowly turned red with blood. He moved his sleeve up, and pushed it to the wound, hoping to stop the flow of blood. The last thing he needed now was fainting and ultimately dying due blood loss.

The robot analyzed the fact the living being was still alive, but not for long. Still, that boy could give the precious item away if he managed to get far enough. So the robot lowered his aim, forcing the boy to jump away from the door, away from safety. His mind could not focus well enough as his blood drained from his body, so he came harsh back to the ground. His whole body screamed out in pain, pain that made clear to the boy what was happening again. The robot which had stopped shooting, came closer, preparing to free this boy from his pathetic life.

"You used to kill the innocent like a monster…" The boy muttered, clinging to what will he had left. The robot moved its left gun to the boy's head. The boy waited for the moment…

The moment to scream out: "then you took a kick in the knee!" The boy kicked the robot's supposed knee, damaging the joint slightly and by far not enough to destroy the robot. However, with the power of the kick, the boy slid across the ground to the door, narrow escaping a bullet in the head. The boy used the door handle to pull himself on his feet again, then opened and escaped the building. The building, he worked so hard on to finish. It was a fan club for bosses, and now a boss destroyed it. How ironic.

"BEING MAY NOT GET AWAY WITH THE ROCK!"

Raymond 'Boss-defeater' Shields knew he left part of his life behind as he fled.


Whoot. Another story from me. Who am I? … That's something you might want to investigate for yourself. Just don't go stalker on me, okay? Thank you.

You want to hear introductions, such as who this boy is? Well, no introductions in this story immediately. They'll come later, maybe even next chapter if you're lucky. We'll see about that next chapter.

Know though, that this fanfiction will mostly focus on a rather limited Nintendo games. Appearances from others are rare, but will certainly come to pass.

Reviews are welcome, critic even more.
