The Legend of the Gamer: Episode I

Introduction:

The music Course of Evil Megaman 2 by GS-Screamer is heard. The words 'The Legend of the Gamer' appear from the left on a background of a red see-through like tube that has streaks of light crossing through from the left to the right. The words move off screen to the right.

Episode I: The Gamer

Cory walked through the streets of downtown Atlanta to Pyro's Arcades. He kept walking until he reached the doors of the arcade, and began to open the doors of the arcade when he heard his friend and the owner of the arcade, Pyro, began to talk to him from outside the game room. "Hey Cory! Come back again to beat your records?"

"Not really, I just do that naturally." Cory answered his friend. Of course Pyro wasn't the guy's real name, but most people know only his nickname. Cory walked in and went straight for the nearest Street Fighter arcade console that was available.

"You always did make such impossible to beat scores… Hey, maybe after you beat that round of Street Fighter, you can come and check out the newest section of my arcade room!" Pyro said excitedly.

Cory laughed Pyro's comment and said, "You mean that console game section you kept bugging me about for the past 2 weeks?"

"Yeah, that one. But really, can you try to see if you can beat my time for beating the second level in Halo 2 or my time for any race in Burnout 3!" Pyro challenged Cory.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. I'll beat it with pleasure." Cory said calmly, smirking all the while. He finally beat SF on the hardest difficulty without losing a single match. He easily scored the highest score with over a million points ahead of the nearest person, who was incidentally Pyro.

(Somewhere unknown)

"Where's our backup?" Yelled a commander. Shots rang out from the enemies' weapons.

"I dunno Commander Hyu! They said they'd help as soon as they finished their mission back in CHVGW!" Shouted a soldier.

"God damn it! Red's always taking his time!" Hyu yelled in frustration. "Send another transmission Jon!"

A soldier was blown up suddenly by an explosion from a heavy artillery gun. Another soldier fell from gun shots within seconds of the earlier casualty. The blood from the two men splattered over Hyu's face. "She is not gonna be happy with Red…" Jon shook his head as he sent another transmission to Red's battalion. "We still need help Red! Get over here ASAP!" Jon yelled into the radio.

"We'll be there in a moment. Hold your position until we get there. Red out." Red's transmission ended, and Jon put up the radio so he could get out his gun once more.

"What'd he say this time?" Hyu shouted over the gunfire of the advancing army.

"Hold your position until they arrive!" Jon said back.

Another soldier fell as yet another barrage of gunfire hit the battered battalion's cover area. That left the unit with only 7 soldiers to fight the 20 odd enemy robots. Blood was everywhere over the cover area. Suddenly, one soldier risked his life and jumped from his cover and fired back at the enemies, destroying 2 robots in the process. He landed behind another 3 foot tall sand wall. "We need to fight back Commander!" The brave soldier, Kane, yelled to Hyu.

"No! Hold your positions now!" Hyu shouted at the man.

Suddenly, another battalion arrived and began to mow down the dwindling numbers of the enemy army. The enemy fell quickly to the newly arrived soldiers guns and artillery. Soon, all the bots were decimated. "Hyu! Are you okay!" The new commander asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay Red. How about you?" Hyu asked.

"If you mean the mission back at HQ, the team did perfectly. But, if you mean here, we still did perfectly." Red boasted.

Hyu sighed and shook her head. "Always the boaster Red… You need to stop doing that seriously."

"Yeah well, its my personality, not yours. But we need to get back to HQ, okay Commander?" Red ordered.

"Yes sir!" Hyu saluted her superior.

(Back in HQ)

The two walked into the main room of the HQ, where that they were greeted by an old man, the leader of the city. "A nice job capturing that base of Zain, Commander. But I need to talk to you privately, along with Red." The man left the room, along with Hyu and Red trailing closely behind him. The doors closed behind them. "Red, I heard you helped Hyu in her mission of capturing one of Zain's bases, am I correct?"

"Yes sir my lord, Xian." Red answered Xian. They turned a corner, and walked into Xian's room, which had loads of bookcases covering most of the walls. Xian walked forward and touched 7 books in a certain order.

'1, 9, 7, 6, 2, 8, 4.' Xian thought as he hit each book with the respective numbers on them. The bookcase nearest to Hyu opened up, and led into a secret hallway. Xian walked into this newly opened hallway, and motioned for Red and Hyu to follow. "This is where I have kept our city's most important secret weapon again Zain when he attacks our city, but as you know already, he hasn't done so in over 35 years. But there is a catch, we here at our city can't use it, but an outsider from the real world can."

"So, we have a weapon again Zain, but only a person from another world can use it? And what exactly is this secret weapon anyways?" Hyu asked, getting confused by Xian's statements.

"Long ago, actually 35 years ago, a human from outside our world used it to fight Zain, but after he defeated Zain, he left without the weapon he used to fight against Zain." Xian stopped at a keypad to a safe. '9517638.' Xian thought as he pressed the buttons on the keypad. The safe hissed as it opened up. Inside the safe was a wrist mounted glove with a keypad on it. Another thing in the safe was a blue colored arcade-like gun. The last thing in the safe was a piece of paper with the instructions to the keypad glove. "This is the item that the hero 35 years ago used. It's called simply the keypad glove, or as he used to call it, KG, because he was too lazy to call it by its formal name."

"This is the item that he used to beat Zain last time?" Hyu shouted in pure confusion.

"Commander, there is no need to shout." Red told the young commander.

"But sir! We had only this to defeat Zain? Why can't one of us use it anyways?" Hyu asked.

"You see, this item can only be activated by an outsider, not one of us, or we would have used it to beat Zain long ago! Use your head Hyu!" Xian scolded.

(Back in Atlanta, Cory's house)

"Heh, this game is getting too easy!" Cory said confidently as he beat Super Mario Sunshine for the 12th time. Suddenly, as the credits rolled, the TV went berserk. "What the…" Cory began, but the TV started to suck him into the red screen. He tried to grab onto the edges of the TV, but the force that was trying to suck him in was too strong for him to hold on. "AHHHHH!" Cory screamed as he fell through the portal. He now only could see in the portal, which was tinted red and had the light streaks flying by him at a slightly faster rate of speed. He then saw the end of the tunnel-like portal. "That better not lead into some kinda trap…" Cory hoped.

(Back in Xian's Secret Hallway)

"Whoa…" Cory said. He looked around and saw Xian, Hyu, and Red staring at him. Xian was smiling, and Red wasn't really caring at all, and Hyu had her eyes bulging at him.

A/N I hope you like the beginning of this series! Now review please! I won't update until next weekend at the closest though. If this seems sort of like Gamer Elite, it has the near same basic storyline, but with different worlds involved, and maybe some of the same ones. But anyways, I wanna thank you for reading this!
