Fateful Embers

Chapter IF 1

I am still working on the next chapter... but I'm suffering writer's block and physical pain, so it'll be difficult coming up. It does involve a darkwraith however.

"I choose..." Kamui prepares to say, her hands balling up into fist, as she then proudly shouts out "TO JOIN SMASH!"

This catches everyone off guard, even Magnus, who questions "The hell is a smash? The hell is a hell even?" Suddenly, the two are warped away to a far distant land... a Pokémon Stadium. This leaves the unkindled lord terribly confused as to the events that just transpired "Kamui, where are we?"

Kamui looks up at him "I got an offer from the highest ups to join in a fighting game as a way of increasing the sales for my and this game." Magnus stares down at her like somehow she grew a second head "This game? But what about me? I'm owned by some black kid with no writing talent, and a company that's tired of making the games I'm in, how did From agree to have me in here?"

Kamui giggles a little "Like you said, kid with no writing talent." Magnus sighs and pinches his brow "Alright... what are we up against?" Suddenly, a short red Plummer jumps in, and with a stereotypical, possibly racist Italian impression shouts "Thata would be me!" He lands and smiles under that huge mustache "Itsa me, Mari-"

Magnus interrupts by jamming his dragonslayer swordspear into Mario's chest. He electrocutes the Plummer and then spins in a circle, until swinging Nintendo's mascot off his spear and off the stage, all the while Mario screams "WWWAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOO!" Until he can't be heard... and then he respawns.

Kamui stares up at him with a slightly raised eyebrow "What was that for?" Magnus shrugs "Were supposed to be fighting ar-" he then looks up and sees Mario flashing colors, no worse for wear "How is he back already?!"

"That's how this world works Magnus. Whoever kills the most times wins. Luckily we're on the same team." Kamui calls out, having gotten into a fight with Meta Knight. A glowing, multicolored orb appears above them all, and Magnus can't help but have a compulsion to reach it. As does everyone else. Magnus jumps off the head of Mario, and smashes the sphere with his spear, as he begins glowing.

"Hm... what does this d- oh, I feel it now." Magnus cackles madly, as he transforms into his Lordly form "Final Smash time assholes! Lord of Chaos and Light!" He exchanges his spear for the firelink greatsword, and the screen is consumed by flame and lightning.

(Reality)

"... uh... why did you program him into the game?" A man ask, staring down at his employee. The man at the computer nods slowly "You know... I ask that to myself a lot... but tell me, why shouldn't I program him into the game?"

From the on, Magnus was banned from any tournament. And From sued Nintendo.

The Eygon and Guts show

Guts eyes slowly open, as he wakes up finally after the injures he sustained during his short battle with the Band of the Hawk. He pulls himself out of bed, his chest bandaged mostly along with part of his arm, as he looks out of the tent to see where he's been taken.

Just outside, Eygon is sitting on a box, cleaning blood off of his greathammer "Ah. You're awake. I was going to slaughter these mercenaries, but didn't feel like fighting a woman. Little did I know that woman was a man..."

Not too far from them, a white haired, fair skinned man (?) and a black haired, dark skinned woman are having a conversation. Guts glares "That guy?" Eygon looks over "Impressive. You can tell at a glance. Bet chicken farmers would love to have you on hand, hm?"

The woman pulls away from the effeminate looking man and angrily steps towards Guts, punching him right in his wound, causing him to collapse. She glares down at Guts "If I had it my way, you'd have been left to die out there!" Eygon raises an eyebrow under his armor "And how do you think that would've gone for you, hm? I recall turning one of your horses into a fine paste."

The Fate is pushing me...

"... Magnus? Where are we?" Kamui questions as the two stare off into the distance, looking off from a cliff and seeing a castle with ruins surrounding it. The city of Gran Soren.

Magnus shrugs "A game that needs many more players. Many... many more players. Come on... we should keep moving." Kamui gives a slight nod, heading off and away from the cliff and entering a small road that leads to the city. Magnus keeps his Ring Knight Paired Greatswords on the ready.

Suddenly, a group of goblins descend onto them, and Magnus reflexively yells out "Tis far stronger than a common Goblin!" He quickly shakes his head "The he... nevermind, come on!" Kamui slashes at one of the goblins, and kicks another in the face. She then turns to her dragon form and stomps another.

Again, Magnus shouts out "The heart Arise-... what is going on?!" Once all the goblins are beaten, Kamui turns back to normal. Kamui stares at him, confused "Uh, Magnus? Are you ok?" Magnus frowns "No... no I... I don't know what's going on... I'm saying things that... I don't know..."

Kamui puts an arm around Magnus, and smiles kindly "Don't worry about it. I'm sure we can find out what's happening." A pink blush glows across Magnus's face, and a soft sound can be heard by both "I..." Magnus begins to say... only to be grabbed by a massive dragon and carried off.

These IF chapters are dumb little brain farts of mine for when I can't exactly think of anything to write. But I'll still post the for your amusement and for ammunition to insult me. Go on, do it. They make me laugh. I take it as a roast sort of thing because I like to think they come from a good place. I'll post the full chapter soon...
