The Game Master
Notes: I do not own any of the game characters in this story. Oh, and the non-game characters were thought up by me but if someone has already copyrighted a character with that name or powers, then I don't claim it as mine, okay? Good.
Chapter 1: the Fast and the Furriest
Nick Exalon was just a normal kid who loves and video games. However, one day, he put a video game in his Game Box 64 Advance Station that would change his life forever. He bought the game at a store because it looked really fun. Also, the screenshots on the back of the box looked almost like photographs. He read the beginning part of the instructions where it told the controls and the story. According to the instructions, the story was:
In the year 2564 and a half, the evil creature named Zarkon started using video games to control the world. However, there is someone who can stop him, and that someone is you. Welcome to the future. Welcome to: Game Master.
The game, however, had strange powers. When Nick turned it on, his television screen cracked open. A strange, slimy creature oozed out of the broken screen. Two eyeballs on stalks popped out of the slug-like green body. The body suddenly changed shape. It suddenly turned into a man, and the colors changed to look like a man. He was tall, and had a leather jacket on. He smirked at Nick. "Well, well. It looks as if you've released me from my eternal prison. Yes, I was locked away in a video game so I wouldn't take over the world. However, now that you've released me, the only way to stop me is to summon the powers of the Game Master, but you don't know how to do that! I will rule the world, for I am ZARKON!" said the man. Zarkon disappeared in a puff of smoke, and the television screen suddenly fixed itself.
Nick just stared at the screen, when suddenly the game turned on again. This time, however, letters appeared on the screen. "Choose Your Game." they said. Nick checked the instruction book and found out he needed to find all the pieces to the Game Master's armor to gain his powers and fight the evil Zarkon. Nick decided to go for the mystical staff first, and since it was in the Sonic game series, he looked at the screen and said "Sonic."
Suddenly, Nick was pulled into a huge vortex and he landed in soft grass. He looked up and saw that the sky was clear blue, except for a few clouds. Then he noticed something strange. Everything was checkered! The dirt was brown and light brown, and the grass was two shades of green in a checkered pattern. "I'm in Green Hill Zone!" Nick exclaimed. He looked around to see if he could find any of the characters from the Sonic games. Suddenly, he got bonked on the head with a coconut. "Ow! Hey, who did that!?" he asked. Nick turned around to see a robotic monkey laughing at him. "Why, you little pest!" he yelled. He picked up a rock and threw it at the monkey, who blew up. A bird dropped out of it. "Oh yeah, this is a Sonic game! Cool!" He said. He picked up a few gold rings that were conveniently floating in mid-air in front of him. A gust of wind knocked Nick down, and he looked up to see Sonic staring at him. "Yo! You aren't one o' Buttnik's helpers, are you?" Sonic asked. Nick stood up and brushed some dirt off of himself, which suddenly went back to the place it had been before he fell, so it didn't mess up the checkered pattern. "Huh? Oh. No, I come from the real world. Sonic looked at him strangely again. "You okay? You do know that this is the real world, right?" Nick couldn't help but laugh. "Umm. no. This is a video game. The real world is where humans live." Nick explained. "Robotropolis is where humans live. Are you sure you're okay?" Asked Sonic. Nick looked at Sonic again. "Does he know he's in a video game? Probably not, so I'll just keep quiet about it." He thought. Sonic still stared at him. "Uh. I don't work for Robotnik. In fact, um... he's uh. my enemy too. I just don't like to fight too much." Nick said. Sonic still stared at him. "Well, you're not wearing a uniform, so I guess you're on our side." Sonic said. "Yeah. Listen, I might be able to fight Robotnik better if I had some sort of staff. Do you know where one is?" Nick asked. Sonic shook his head, and suddenly he was frozen, literally.
An aura of cold was projected from the frozen Sonic, and even in the sunny climate, he still was frozen solid. Robotnik flew above on his Egg-O-Matic, shooting things with blue light coming from a gold staff. "That's the staff I need!" Nick exclaimed. He jumped up and tried to reach it, but he wasn't strong enough. He then got an idea. He picked up a coconut from a palmtree and hurled it at Robotnik. The Egg-O-Matic flashed and Robotnik waved his hands. "Just like in the games. I just need to hit him 7 more times and he's dead!" Nick thought. After a while, Nick finally blew up the Egg-O- Matic, and Robotnik dropped his staff. Sonic woke up and looked around. "Wha. what happened?" Sonic asked. "I beat Robotnik and he dropped the staff I needed!" Nick replied. He held up the staff and suddenly everything disappeared.
"Well, I'm glad someone worthy of my power found the staff. I was worried the universe would be destroyed!" said a deep and powerful sounding voice coming from the darkness. Nick looked around, but saw nothing. Suddenly, his staff glowed a golden color. "I am the Game Master. If you find all the pieces of my armor I will fuse with you. You have just found the most important part, the staff of the game. With it, you can project the power of the elements. Right now it can only use ice and water, but if you keep it, you can learn more elements. It is the only way to stop Zarkon and his horde of Sharks." Said the voice, which turned out to be the Game Master. "Sharks?" asked Nick. "Yes, Game Sharks. They can take any form, and can control reality through the use of 'cheat codes'." Said the Game Master. Nick stared into the void, and suddenly it was gone. He was standing on ground again, but not in Green Hill Zone. He was in the middle of what looked like a desert. Nothing was around him but sand and darkness. However, it was no ordinary darkness. It was darkness with eyes! It turned out to be millions of pitch-black bats with glowing yellow eyes. They all formed into one huge winged human made of darkness.
Nick clutched his staff and prepared to fight the. thing in front of him. It turned and faced him, staring at him with yellow eyes. It talked in what seemed to be thousands of deep voices at once as it said "I am the first of the Sharks, and it is my duty to defeat you. BEGONE!" Suddenly, Nick's head swelled like a balloon and he fell over from the weight. "Oops. Wrong cheat." Said the Game Shark. Nick's head returned to normal just in time for him to dodge a fireball. "Prepare to die." Said the shark. It pointed a clawed finger at Nick and he held up his staff to block.
HAHA! I left you at a cliffhanger! THE END: For now
