Hours later, when the park was officially closed to the public, the Kingdom Keepers came back to start their investigation.
Security and Spencer let them in, and they all walked again to the admin building. Howard and Decker were waiting for them, with the portals set up.
"This is it children," Howard said. "I wish you all luck, and please keep my son safe too."
"Dad I'm going to be fine!" whined Spencer. "I'm with the Kingdom Keepers after all!"
"And we have superpowers!" exclaimed Maybeck.
"Alright guys," said Finn. "If we're all ready, then let's go!"
Everyone nodded, and each of them one by one walked through the portal and into the park.
Going through felt weird again, but it felt much weirder on the other side where the park was empty. The entire park still glowed light bluish within the virtual dome, but attractions were still down and dark.
"Uh why does this have to feel like a horror video game?" asked Philby. "I hope Slenderman, Bendy, or Granny don't pop out and kill us."
"The only horror game for this park is Five Nights at Freddy's," said Spencer. "As you can see by the restaurant over there."
"So where do we start?" asked Charlene. "Where in this entire park do we start our search?"
Suddenly, before anyone could answer, they all started to hear booming footsteps.
In the distance they could hear someone coming.
"We better hide!" gasped Amanda.
Everyone found something to hide behind, which was mainly the bushes, as they looked at what was coming.
There was something big walking in the shadows nearby and apparently heading right towards Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria.
"What is that?" whispered Willa. "It looks like a monster!"
Everyone waited, and finally the figure came into the light, and almost made the girls scream in fear.
The monster looked like a giant yellow monster turtle, with a large, spiked shell, horns, a draconic muzzle, razor-sharp fangs, taloned fingers, three clawed toes on each foot, spiked bands on his ankles and wrists, a tail with spikes on it, red eyes and a shock of red hair.
It was none other than Bowser, the King of the Koopas, and the main antagonist of the Super Mario Bros series.
"That's the Bowser guy you were talking about!?" whispered Jess.
"He's terrifying!" gasped Willa.
"And he can breathe fire," said Finn.
The gang watched as he was literally walking towards the entrance to Freddy Fazbear's. But we he tried to walk in, he was too big for the door. The Keepers had to hold their breathe to keep from laughing.
Enraged, Bowser simply crashed through the door, shattering it and half of the wall it was attached to.
"Oh great!" yelled a voice suddenly from inside the restaurant. It sounded Hispanic. "Way to be subtle big guy!"
"Don't insult me!" growled Bowser. "Not my fault the boss chose this place to meet!"
"He chose this because it..." the other guy began to say.
"I don't care!" growled Bowser. "We'll have someone magically fix this! Let's just get this meeting started."
Everyone watched Bowser disappear into the restaurant, followed by another crash meaning it was another door Bowser had to smash.
"Don't worry guys," said Spencer. "The park is virtual. We can easily fix it."
"Well one thing is for certain," said Philby. "The villains have apparently broken their program."
"We have to get inside and see what is going on," said Charlene. "It sounds like there's a villain gathering going on."
"There's a back entrance," said Spencer. "Come this way."
Everyone followed Spencer who led them to a back door. Everyone crept inside and headed towards where they could hear voices.
The place was in fact spooky. It was half restaurant and half scary ride, just like the Haunted Mansion.
They passed numerous animatronics of the characters who were apart of the ride, afraid that at any moment they could come alive.
Soon enough, as they came towards the restaurant area, they could hear voices.
From the upper level that was still the ride, they came out and looked down, and gasped almost too loud.
They could see 9 different video game villains all gathered around talking with each other. They may have been virtual, but they seemed all too real.
Bowser was of course amongst them, but the Kingdom Keepers who were gamers had to identify the other villains for the non-gamers.
The first was a tall, muscular man wearing a black and red Lucha libre mask with a matching green suit. It was Killbane from Saints Row: The Third.
Next was a fairly aged woman with red hair wearing a dark jacket similar to a trench coat and had hearing devices in her ears. It was Brooke Augustine from inFAMOUS: SECOND SON.
Then there was a very intimidating muscular man with a warlord helmet with a skull-like design and a long crest at the forehead. He wore spiked shoulder pads, similarly designed knee pads and gauntlets, and a skull medallion embedded in two straps that intersected across his chest. It was none other than Shao Kahn from Mortal Kombat.
Then there was a Hispanic man, which had to be the one Bowser was talking to. He had a mohawk and goatee and wore a red tank top and gray pants. It was Vaas Montenegro, the psychopathic secondary antagonist of the video game Far Cry 3.
Next was a literal robot hanging from the ceiling, which looked like it was upside down. It was armored white and had several black wires connecting to it and to other places. And what was basically it's face was a cube with a single red eye. When it spoke, it had a female voice, and the gang knew it was none other than GLaDOS from Portal.
Then there was an old man, probably in his mid-80s. He was bald except for thin eyebrows and a curled, silver goatee. His ears were pointed and his eyes were yellow. He had broad, hunched shoulders and a crooked back. He wore a white and black coat with a red inner lining, which is worn over a white shirt with two thin black belts, as well as white gloves and calf-high black boots. It was Master Xehanort, the main antagonist from Kingdom Hearts.
Next was a man with black sunglasses and blonde hair slicked back. He wore a black long trenchcoat with a black skin-tight leather turtleneck with zippers below his chest, black skin-tight leather pants with a matching black belt with pockets in each sides along with a silver buckle in the center and black high boots and a pair of black gloves. It was none other than Albert Wesker, the villain from Resident Evil.
Next was an extremely fat man, as round as an egg. He had a dome-shaped head and no visible neck, a bald head, a bright red nose, and a very bushy mahogany moustache, but also with tall legs and long arms. He wore tinted glasses and green-lensed goggles as headwear, a red coat sporting two square metal buttons on both sides of the chest in gold that had white straps that run across the coat's sides to identical buttons on the back, silver, zipper-like linings down the back, arms and front, yellow cuffs, and two extensions on the front that have large silver buttons. He also wore white, cuffless gloves on his hands and a pair of black pants with matching boots seemingly attached to them bearing circular plates on both sides of the ankles and three square ones riding up the shin. It was none other than Dr. Eggman, the main villain from Sonic the Hedgehog.
And lastly, sitting in a chair magically made into a throne, was a man, or monster, with green and grey skin, orange hair and a beard, dressed in black armor and a red cape. It was none other than Ganondorf, the main villain from The Legend of Zelda.
And he was obviously the leader of them all.
The heroes spied on the villains as it looked like the meeting was about to begin.
Ganondorf raised his hand and all the villains quieted down, each of them sat in a chair, except for Bowser who was too big and GLaDOS who was hanging from the ceiling.
"My allies," Ganondorf said. "We gathered here tonight because it is finally time."
"At long last," Vaas said putting his feet up on the table and resting his arms behind his head. "I've waitied long enough."
"PATIENCE IS A VIRTURE," GLaDOS said. "ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT."
"Has everyone done as we were ordered to do?" Ganondorf asked. "Have you all picked three allies for yourselves?"
"Done and done," Dr. Eggman said.
"With the forces I've picked, I am unstoppable," said Shao Kahn. "Although I prefer to work alone."
"Skull said its required that we pick helpers," said Bowser. "We're going to need their help."
"How do you know that?" asked Brooke. "None of us have been informed of any of the big boss' plans except for King Garuda here and you because you're his number one."
"For your information, its Gerudo not Garuda," said Ganondorf calmly.
"Please do not correct me," Brooke growled. "It sickens me."
"Enough," Wesker said. "Lord Ganon, please inform us of the plan."
Ganondorf nodded and magically waved his hand and on the table appeared a magic model of the entire park. Every single one.
"From the information Skull has given us, we all know that there are 10 parks here in Gametopia," he said. "And in each park lies what is apparently called a core."
"Each of these cores is helps makes Gametopia, well, Gametopia," said Bowser. "It alters the reality of it and gives it the video game life."
"Our orders are to seek out and find hidden in each park these cores, absorb their code and power, and give them to Skull," said Ganondorf. "He claims that they are exactly what is necessary to finally break us out of here."
"YOU MEAN BREAK US OUT OF THE PARK RIGHT?" asked GLaDOS.
"Exactly," said Ganondorf. "Skull said once all the cores in the 10 parks are found, they will be able to open up the main core in Central Square and absorb it too, and finally the key to our freedom and world domination will be in our grasp."
"Key," Xehanort sighed happily. "Anything that deals with keys I like. Oh, and taking over the world too."
Killbane got up and cracked his knuckles.
"So what are we waiting for?" he asked. "Let's go find them!"
He was literally about to head out when suddenly he legs were incased in concrete by Brooke.
"The mask must be squeezing your brain and disrupting your thought process," she said. "You serious think he meant the very second?"
"Well the longer we wait, the sooner those pesky Kingdom Guardians will find ways to stop us!" Killbane said.
"First off, they're Kingdom Keepers," said Vaas. "And secondly, let me ask you. Did know what the definition of insanity is?"
"Excuse me?" Killbane asked.
"Insanity is doing the same exact fucking thing over and over again expecting shit to change," said Vaas. "As villains, our instinct is to act immediately in order to stop the hero, but if you look up online, you see that every villain tries that and it never changes."
"Get to the point Mr. Pirate before I feel like breaking your neck!" Killbane snapped.
"He is saying we are not going to do what every other villain does," said Wesker. "We are going to do something completely different."
"And we already have a plan," said Bowser. "For the next 10 nights, yes nights not days, we are sending one of each of you to a park to find and locate the core and absorb it. The Kingdom Keepers will not know which park exactly that we are heading to, so they'll be forced to search each park and find out which one we're attacking, which will delay them and give us more time."
"Won't they just be able to check security cameras and find us?" asked Dr. Eggman.
"IF YOU'VE FORGOTTEN, I AM A MASTER HACKER," said GLaDOS. "BLOCKING OUT CAMERAS SHALL BE, IRONICALLY FOR ME TO SAY, A PIECE OF CAKE!"
GLaDOS began laughing while the villains just laughed.
"You'd get it if you played the game," Philby whispered to everyone.
"Why are we attacking only at night?" asked Shao Kahn. "Shouldn't we do it during the day? When there are people here to terrorize and kill?"
"Oh yeah that's a great idea," said Xehanort. "Kill innocents. Get the media and press from the outside world involved. Give them reason to shut the park down immediately and henceforth erase our code and existence!"
"As much as I love killing," said Killbane sitting down. "Horns over there is right. We must remain desecrate. The only outsiders that shall know about us are apparently the Kingdom Keepers."
"And Skull of course," said Bowser.
"It is settled," said Ganondorf. "You will each be picked by random on who goes to which park what night. The Kingdom Keepers will have no way of knowing which park is being attacked and who they go up against every night."
"This meeting is adjourned," said Bowser. "We shall all meet when ordered to."
Every villain stood up and nodded. But instead of leaving, they began talking amongst one another.
The hearts in each of the Keepers was racing and beat hard and fast.
"This is intense!" gasped Amanda.
"They're plotting and escape and world domination," said Willa.
"And who is this Skull guy?" asked Maybeck.
"That's for us to find out another night," said Finn. "Let's get out of here."
Everyone nodded and turned around, only to be welcome with both animatronics of Foxy, Mangle, and every other version of Foxy standing behind who all screamed their trademark scream, scaring the shit out of everyone.
They screamed and all fell back off the platform and into the food court, right in front of all the villains.
They all looked up in fear as the villains were all looking at them with evil grins.
"Well, well, well," said Wesker. "Look at who decided to crash our party."
"Looks like I am going to be snapping some necks tonight," said Killbane cracking his knuckles.
"You do that," said Shao Kahn. "I would rather rip out their spines and stab their brains with them."
"Do whatever you wish," said Xehanort. "Just kill them before they can escape. We'll end their existence before they can even try to stop us."
"Then I go first!" Bowser roared jumping in front of everyone.
The Keepers stood up just in time to see Bowser breathe in deep.
Amanda thinking quickly jumped right in front of everyone just as Bowser breathed a blast of fire. She held up her hands and blocked it with a telekinetic shield.
Bowser attempted to overpower her, but Amanda at that point was too strong and she pushed hard and sent the fire bouncing back at all the villains
Bowser ducked into his shell, GLaDOS raised herself just in time, Brooke put up a concrete shield, Xehanort made his own shield with his keyblade, Wesker and Shao Kahn stood still, knowing not even a bit of used fire could damage them badly, and Ganondorf raised his own shield and put one over Eggman, Killbane, and Vaas.
The Keepers used this distraction to run into the first door they saw.
"Stop them!" yelled Dr. Eggman.
"No need to," said Ganondorf.
He simply raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
"There," he said. "Let's see them try to escape from a building that's now been magically modified to be an extreme horror slaughterhouse."
All the villains laughed, now expecting the Keepers' doom.
OH BOY! We have the list of main villains now! And to let you all know, these are all my top 10 favorite video game villains.
Will the Keepers escape Ganon's trap? And who could this Skull be? Stay tuned to find out!
