Gameplay
Nearly dodging the bazooka, I regained my footing and examined my situation. I was surrounded by G.I. Joes, each with a pistol, but only one with a bazooka.
"Whoa! Hey, I wasn't talking about you guys. You guys are totally manly," I tried to defuse the situation, but it blew up in my face, literally.
They all shot at me at the same time with their tiny guns that packed a punch.
I jumped to the left and returned fire. The bazooka toting action figure had got to go. So, I locked on to it and directed my blasts towards it. It didn't take much to put it down, just a couple head-shots and I didn't have to worry about that G.I. Jerk any more.
Well, I still had to deal with his little cadets. Even though their little peashooters they call pistols hurt like crazy, they were easy to deal with.
I cleared them out in no time. I then looked at the path made out of toys that spiraled around the mountain.
I sighed and started walking. The road was narrow and one misstep would mean a world of pain.
And if that wasn't enough, there were gaps in the road that I had to jump, swing, or slide over.
You know, the usual path of death and destruction.
Over one gap was a huge lego tower, that had fallen over, but didn't break. It made the perfect bridge to get across the gap.
Then there was this gigantic almost life-size tank that served as an excellent pole to swing off of. There was also this giant plastic giraffe with a thin neck that served the same purpose, convenient no?
I almost got dizzy, because all I did was turn left again, and again, and again. It was like I had gotten directions from a NASCAR driver.
But to my delight, I had found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I reached the top of the mountain, and surprisingly it was a flat oval shape.
More importantly, my backpack was right there!
Cutscene
I darted straight for it, only to almost be crushed by a giant wind-up robot foot.
"Aw man, really! Now even the Terminator is trying to stop me!" I yelled in anger.
The robot looked like an old wind-up toy robot with C-shaped claws, red eyes, various colored buttons on its chest, and a wind-up key in its back.
"Intruder alert. Intruder alert. Defense protocol 16 initiated," The robot said in a metallic voice.
"Is that the protocol where you nicely give me my backpack and gently escort me out?" I inquired hopefully.
The robot's eyes started to glow a deep red, and a laser was fired right at the ground I was standing on.
Thankfully, I jumped back in time to avoid it.
I glared at it and said, "Bring it on, you overgrown toaster!"
End of cutscene
Sorry it's short. I'm going on another trip, not that it matters because I will be able to post chapters, but now there are about 2 people reading this that may care. Ah well, chapter 10 coming soon. Yep, it's another boss battle.
