Hi everybody, just to let you know I updated my character profile, giving my OC Crystal a super power (not much of a super power). Will change it again once I finish deciding the colour pattern for my OC Kat. I hope you will enjoy this chapter.
Warning: crazy cartoon violent. May contain mistakes.
Disclaimer: don't own anything here except for my OCs and ideas.
I find myself in this place full of penguins; some are blue and white, and others are pink and white. There are a lot of them and they are watching something. The first picture is of a small spaceship fighting a big spaceship. Next it shows a snake monster with the word 'HOT!' next to him. Is that monster upside down? Maybe it's not. Next, the spaceship is flying to another place. After that, it shows a dragon monster fighting the small spaceship. And now… A red octopus flies out of the TV and right into my face. He then goes back and does a little dance to the music.
"Well… That was interesting." I look to see Darkwing standing next to me.
"Darkwing!" I smile at him. I look and see Crystal, Sonic, Amy and Tails. "Sonic, Amy, Tails, Crystal!"
"And I am happy to see you too Julie," says Crystal. "There is never a dull moment when I am with you all."
"What are we doing here?" asks Amy.
"Looks like another adventure and this one looks like a video game," says Darkwing.
"I like video game!" I say.
"And what is a video game?" asks Crystal.
"Fun game to play," I say.
"Video game is a game that you can play on TV and computer. As Julie said, it is fun to play," says Darkwing. "Video games are usually played with game controllers."
Because we didn't pick anything, it plays the bit with the penguins and the TV again.
"This again?" says Crystal.
"This always loops until someone plays the game," says Darkwing. "Let's check out what this is about. 'ParodiusTM Non-Sense Fantasy', why do I get this feeling that we are in for a crazy ride?"
We go into the 1player where we see four good guys to pick. We can only pick one of them. There're the spaceship, a red octopus, the pink ship that look kinda like Winbee, and a blue penguin. It shows what powers they got.
"Let's see… We got Vic Viper, Octopus… Great name there, very clever," says Darkwing.
"You don't mean that do you Darkwing," says Tails.
"They could have come up with a better name for him than just Octopus." Darkwing carries on reading, "Twinbee-"
"Winbee," I say.
"Twinbee," Darkwing says to me.
"Winbee."
"Julie, you missed the 'T'."
"No, that's Winbee! Twinbee is blue and yellow."
"What?" Darkwing looks around. "May I ask how you know that?"
"Because I know them, we fight the bad guys."
"That was before you got here right?"
"Yes."
"Okay… Julie, this said that his name is Twinbee so we are going to called him that, okay?"
"Okay." I find it strange that his name is Twinbee and he has the same colour as Winbee.
"And finally there's Pentarou."
Tails reads out their powers, "Vic Viper has speed up, missile, double, laser, option and shield. Octopus has speed up too, 2-way, tailgun, ripple, option and octopus trap. Twinbee has speed up, rocket punch, tailgun, 3-way, option and force field. Pentarou has speed up, missile, double, spread gun, option and bubble."
"Some of them shared the same attacks and they all got speed up and option," says Darkwing.
"Hey you guys, look over here!" Amy shouts to us. We go over to Amy and see flying skateboards with no wheels.
Tails takes a closer look at them. "Looks like you can fly around on these." Tails looks at the four good guys. "Which one of them are we choosing?"
"Isn't there a training option where we can see each of their powers in action?" Darkwing asks.
"There wasn't any, all we saw were 1player, 2players, lollipop, and option."
"What's lollipop doing there?"
"Don't know."
"I want to go there," I say.
"Well, we might as well take a look," says Darkwing.
We start with the spaceship. We fly through space on our flying board. Bad guys come flying at us. Five different heads spinning and flying through space. When we shoot all of them down, we get these red square power ups. The first one makes us go faster. When we collect two more, we get the missile power up where we drop missiles down. We get attack by flying chickens that drop lot of red square power ups. Sometime, the bad guys drop blue square power up. This one will get rid of all the bad guys near us. There are also bells that will give you different power ups. We have to be careful not to shoot them too much or they will disappear.
"Hey, there's another ability here! This wasn't on the character select screen," says Darkwing. He points at the grey bars at the bottom. Near the last one is '!?' "What does that do?"
I don't know what that does but I want to try it. More bad guys fly toward us. The little chicken bad guys don't drop anything when we beat them. Fast spikey bad guys fly toward us. When they hit the far left, they fly backward to the right. We get hit and lose a life. The spaceship blows up in a little red and orange explosion. When we lose a life, we lost all the power ups and need to collect them again. We beat red fish bad guys and collect the red square power ups. More new bad guys attack us. The big heads in the floor go down and go funny eyes when we beat them. We shoot down the little and big heads in the floor. There are also flying heads with wings that fly toward us. We beat them too. We can now fly all the way up and down. When we do that, we go all the way around the screen. I like the music in here, it is fun! We lose another life here because there are lots of head bad guys everywhere. I pick up a grey bell which gives me this yellow thing. I don't know what to do with this.
"Shout something in it, anything," Darkwing says to me.
I shout different things into it. The yellow thing makes all my word big. My words hit the bad guys and beat them. When the good guy gets one of these, he says thing like, "TRAFFIC JAM!" and "BED 'N' BREAKFAST?" and other things that I wasn't able to read quick enough or don't know what they mean. We finally out of the head bad guys' place. Small red square things come out and go straight at us. Lots of them come at us and we end up losing the game.
"I want a retry!" Darkwing shouts.
"I agree, I will not lose this time!" says Crystal.
We try again and pick the Octopus. We go through the same place again. The power up is not square but is in the shape of an octopus. The square power up must be for the spaceship. We lose only one life and make it back to the part with the red square things. When the octopus loses, he makes a funny face with big eyes. We lose another life here again but make it past all the red square things. Brown and purple bug bad guys go behind us and fly at us. We move out of the way to avoid getting hit. Everything starts to change in the next bit. We are in a very colourful place. We beat the little red octopus bad guys which give us red power ups. One of them gives us a bell and another one drops a blue power up. Next, we beat lots of yellow octopuses which give us bells. I get the green bell which makes me very big.
"Yike! I know you're still a growing girl but this is ridiculous! What have you been eating?!" Darkwing says to me.
I remember my sister said that I will be big enough to swim in that very big water when we went to see cousins. My dad helped get me up the wall to see the big water. I think to myself that I will be very big to fit in that big water. Now I am big. I can go through walls and the bad guys can't hurt me. I can beat the bad guys easy just by moving into them. After a while, I go back to my normal size.
"Oh, you're back to normal? That wasn't a growth spurt, it was a power up," says Darkwing.
I like that power up, it is very fun. We find out what each colour bell does. The green one makes you big for a while, the blue one does a big bright explosion that goes everywhere, the grey one gives you the yellow thing to shout words in it, and the red one sends little guys that make colourful lines at the top and bottom. You can only get three of them and they stop bad guys from hitting you. We keep going to where we have to be careful of falling bone bad guys. They are very hard to beat as they take a lot of hits. They also send bones everywhere when you beat them. We lose another life because of those bones. We get a life back when we get lots of points by shooting the yellow thing. The yellow thing is like a coin that has two faces. It's a funny coin as one of the faces has a big mouth and eyes. There are lots of coins in here as well as little octopus bad guys. I want to keep hitting the coins but we have to keep going. We go through more falling bone bad guys when we past the coins. We shoot our way into the next area full of flying little coins. There are little colourful things in our way that we need to shoot in order to get through. There are lots and lots of those little colourful things. It is very hard to move around when we only shoot at one spot. We are back in space and are attack by flying mouths that throw teeth at us.
"Just as crazy as someone I know. He would like it here if this wasn't a video game," says Darkwing.
We get attack by those red things again that come out of nowhere. We lose all our life and have to try again. This time we pick Twinbee. We go through it all again. His power up is different from the other two. It's a spinning circle with a 'P' on it. Twinbee also blows up just like the spaceship when he loses a life. This time we game over at the falling bone bad guys part. We didn't get enough points to get another life and we keep losing life from lots of bad guys.
We go back to it again, this time we pick the penguin. The penguin power up is very different. It is a red and white sweet. When the penguin loses a life, he turns to the side and moves his feet a little. We game over at the part where there are lots of red things. Darkwing and Crystal tell us that we should never give up and that we should try again. We keep trying. I notice that each of the good guys have their own music at the start. We finally make it past the mouths and red things. We pop the bubbles that have little people inside it. We make it to a big bomb with a sleeping penguin. We shoot the penguin to wake him up. He wakes up and gets a sign out that says 'THE END'. We shoot the bomb which causes the fire to start. The penguin looks at the fire and looks at us. The bomb blows up and lots of yellow bells come out. We collect the bells. The penguin falls down and we finish the lollipop.
"Now that we completed that and seen all the powers, we can start this game. Why don't we go for two players, as they always say; two heads are better than one," says Darkwing. We go to 2players. "Looks like we get to pick the first player, who should we pick?"
They are all very good and I like all their power ups but I like the penguin one. The Octopus and Twinbee are good with the Tailgun which can attack bad guys that are behind us. The only problem is that they need to get very close to the floor in order to beat the bad guys on the floor as they don't have missile power up. That is very dangerous as you can lose a life if you hit the floor by accident. The spaceship and the penguin don't need to do that because they got missile that beat the bad guys on the floor. The spaceship has one more option than the penguin. I love having more options but his shield only protect him from the front. It doesn't protect him from the back. The same thing with the Octopus, his pot protected him from attacks from the front. But one of the bad guys shot him from the back and he lost a life even when he still has the pot in front of him. Twinbee and the penguin has shield that protect them everywhere. I like the penguin's bubble. Twinbee's force field is good but it kinda too bright for my eyes.
"I pick the penguin," I say.
"Okay, we'll pick him." We pick him and start the game. "Hey, wait a minute!" Darkwing shouts. "We haven't picked the second player! Didn't we pick 2players?!"
Oh yeah, we did pick two players. Where's the other player? We are so busy looking around that we end up getting hit and losing a life. We go back to picking one of the four good guys.
"There it is!" says Darkwing. We pick Twinbee. We go back to space with Twinbee. "Hey, where's Pentarou?!" We look around but couldn't see him. We carry on shooting down the bad guys in space until we get hit. We go back to the penguin. "What?! They take turns?! I thought two players means having two players fighting the bad guys on the same screen. I didn't realize they are taking turns."
"Huh?" What did Darkwing said?
"What Darkwing is saying is that the two players are not working together. They are working alone and are taking turns fighting the bad guys," Crystal says to me.
"Oh." I think it would be easy if the two players fight the bad guys together instead of doing it by themselves.
"Might as well go back to 1player, don't want to go back and forth between both players," says Darkwing.
We go back and pick 1player. I look at the screen of all the characters' power ups. The flying boards that me, Amy and Crystal are using can copy one of the good guys' power ups. I pick the penguin because I like his power more. Crystal picks Twinbee power ups while Amy picks the Octopus power ups. Sonic, Tails and Darkwing have their very own power ups.
Sonic has missile which the flying board shoots out round star things that bounce down and on the floor. Those round star things are from Sonic's world. He also has the spin dash that goes straight forward, and jump attack where he jumps and bounces onto bad guys. For the last one, he gets the shield that he used when we were on that adventure where I first met Tails. Sonic's option is the three blue birds.
Tails also has missile which shoots out the round star things. Another attack he has is spin dash which is the same as Sonic. Tails has tails copter attack where he flies up and then forward and then down below and then goes back on the flying board. He attacks the bad guys with his tails when he does that. The last one is rings where eight yellow rings go around Tails and protect him from bad guys' attacks. His option is four little red planes. The plane is the same as the one Tails has.
Darkwing has the plungers which the flying board shoots out these toilet things in two directions. The swing attack is where Darkwing swings from his flying board using his gun and rope. He swings down first then swings up to the middle and then swings high up. He then falls back on his flying board. His grappling hook is where he shoots out a rope with a metal at the end that goes through the bad guys. The last one is hero entrance where he is cover in his purple gas which protects him from bad guys. His option is three duck planes.
We pick a good guy and start the game. We start in space where we shoot down the flying heads and get the power ups. We then get attack by blue doctor needles that fly at us. The red one will give us power up. The space disappears and we find ourselves in a place with blue sky and water. Chicken bad guys attack us as we go through the green land. There are crabs on the floor and up top, and there are three jumping fishes that jump at us. We shoot down penguins on the floor and bees that come out of the box. We can stop the bees by shooting down the box. That will stop the bees from coming out of the box. We carefully fly around to avoid hitting the floor and the top. There are lots of bad guys like the chickens, penguin and jumping heads. We go through the little hole and shoot down the penguins that block it. We collect the power ups which causes the grey bar to light up. The orange light is moving quickly left to right on the grey bar. We press a button which causes the light to stop. I end up getting the double power up. We beat the bad guys and make it to the water. A big flying ship with a cat head comes out. When we shoot the cat, he makes a cat sound. We keep shooting him until we beat him. The cat look all burnt out. The cat has big eyes and he is messy. I find that funny. After a while, the cat falls down. We carry on flying past all the land and out in the water.
A big pink pirate penguin comes out of the water and flies in front of us. He attacks by having his little green penguins fly around him. We shoot down some of the little penguins. When the little penguins stop, they quickly fly right at us one by one. To beat the pink penguin, we need to shoot down his colourful spot on his tummy. When we hit that, the pink penguin's eyes go all big. That must mean we are hurting him. After several hits, the pink penguin stops and falls down into the water. The little penguins that are still left also fall into the water.
We fly back into space where we shoot down more head bad guys, doctor needles and fish bad guys. We make it to a bright colourful place. There're lights everywhere! There are big clown bad guys on the floor and roofs. They blow out bubbles at us. To beat them, we need to get rid of their colourful hats. Once we beat them, they fall down with the word 'OUT' on top of their heads. There are more penguin bad guys and chicken bad guys. The bee bad guys come out of a colourful box instead of the brown box. We beat them and get lots of power ups. The grey bar lights up again and I stop it on option. We make it to a place with colourful floor and roof. I notice that we have gone slower.
"We slow down," says Tails.
"Something big is coming," says Darkwing.
"How do you know? Is it your hero intuition?" asks Crystal.
"Yeah…and the fact that the music has changed," says Darkwing. "When the music changes, it usually means that something big is coming like a mini boss or the main boss."
Darkwing is right, the music did changed and that means that something is coming our way. We look around but couldn't see anything. We then look back and see a very big woman in weird clothes slowly moving toward us.
"What's that?!" I ask.
"You don't want to know!" Darkwing shouts.
"We cannot shoot her, she is behind us," says Crystal.
"Oh great, we can only shoot forward. Isn't there any shoot 'em up game where we can shoot in any directions?" says Darkwing. He doesn't look too happy.
"We got to get past her before she hits us!" says Tails.
I look around. We couldn't go forward as something is stopping us from going any further. I look back at the big woman. We can't go up as her head is in our way. "We can go under her legs when she moves," I say to the others.
"What?! That's inappropriate!" Darkwing shouts.
"Why?" I ask. I didn't understand it.
"Julie, there are some things that an innocent little girl like you should not know. This is one of them," Amy says to me.
"Okay." I know that the others are just protecting me, that why I listen to them.
We try to time it right so that we can go under her legs safely but we go a little too fast and crash into her leg. We lose a life and start at the start of this place with the very big woman. We lost all the power ups we had. If we have a power up light up in the grey bar then we can use it to get speed up. We shoot down the bad guys to get some power ups. We wait for the big woman to come toward us. We carefully fly under her legs as she moves toward us. We make it to the other end. Penguin bad guys run in. We shoot them and beat them. The big woman stops when she reaches the other side. She looks at us and closes one of her eyes. She slowly moves toward us. We shout out "Ahhh!" when we see that she is moving back toward us. We try to shoot her down but our attacks aren't hurting her. We just have to avoid her.
"We really don't need this so can you just leave us alone!" says Darkwing. We go under her legs again and go to the other side. We shout again when we see that she is moving toward us again. "Oh give me a break! I know I'm quite dashing but can you just go and leave us alone!" Darkwing shouts. We fly back under her legs and to the other side. The big woman stops at the end and closes one of her eyes. We shout as she moves back toward us again. "This is getting ridiculous! When will this end?!"
We go under her legs again. This time the big woman moves away from us. We make it out of the colourful place and into space. A very big white and brown bird with a colourful hat flies in front of us. He attacks us by throwing his feathers at us. We dodge his feathers and attack him in the face. When we attack him, colourful signs come out of his hat. The big bird can also attack by firing colourful circle things at us. We move up or down to avoid this attack. We keep attacking him until we beat him. The big bird loses all his feathers and he slowly falls down. I find that funny.
We fly back through space, beating bad guys and collecting the power ups. We go inside this very big building. We carefully fly around this place full of walls, floor and roof. There're bad guys everywhere and cups that spit out dangerous money. We beat four penguin bad guys that are blocking our way out. We collect the power ups and get the grey bar to light up. We press the button and hear a sound that could mean that we did something wrong.
"What, what happened to all my power ups?!" Darkwing shouts. He shot down the bad guys without using all his power ups.
"They're all gone! How did this happen?" Tails asks.
"What?!" Now I notice that all my power ups are gone.
"Wait a second! Let's think about what we did before all this happened," says Darkwing. "We shoot down the bad guys like normal… We get those…things that help us get those power ups… The power ups bar started to flash across, waiting for us to press the button to stop on a power up…"
Yeah, we get to pick a power up when that happened. I look at the grey bar and wonder what could cause us to lose all our power ups. Then I remember there is a '!?' near the last power ups. "Ohhhhh! That thing… That thing makes us lose all our powers!" I say to my friends.
"What?! Which thing?!" Darkwing asks me.
"That!" I point at the grey bar.
Darkwing looks at the grey bar and finds the '!?' "So that's what it does! Now I understand what it means."
"What is it?" I ask Darkwing.
"As you know, this makes us lose all the power ups we had. The ! is the shocking realization of us losing our power ups while the ? is the confusion that we felt when we just found out that we lost all our power ups for no reason. What kind of power up is this?! This is more of a power down and one that I can do without!"
Okay…? So it is a bad surprised that we need to avoid, I'll make sure to avoid it whenever that happen again. This is getting bad, there are lots of bad guys and we got no power ups to help us fight the bad guys. We try our best to beat the bad guys while avoiding their attacks. We get some of the power ups back by beating these rounded red things that are trapped in the colourful round balls that are everywhere. I notice only the red bad guys drop power up. We shoot down blue rounded things and they do not drop any power ups. Orange monsters come in and eat the colourful balls that are everywhere. We can't move too much because we can only shoot in front of us and not up and down, so the colourful balls on top and bottom of us are keeping us in this small space. We are able to avoid those orange monsters. We then lose a life when an orange monster comes out from behind us. I did not see him there. We try again and this time, we are very careful when avoiding the orange monsters. We have to carefully fly through the next part as it is full of walls, floors and roofs. We have little room to fly around so we have to make sure to avoid touching the walls, floors and roofs. There are also colourful balls blocking our way so we need to shoot them down as well.
We make it out where we fight eight red mouths. Four of them move to the other side. We use the missile power up to attack the mouths that are on the left. It is taking so long to beat them with the missile power up. It is also taking too long to shoot the mouths on the other side. It would be a lot easier if we got all our power ups. We weren't able to collect a lot of power ups because we kept on moving and couldn't stop to pick them up. The mouths throw their teeth at us and they also move left to right after a while. Because we are taking so long to beat them, the mouths that we didn't beat laugh at us and run away. The faces in the background also laugh at us as we go back into space.
"Wait, we can't just leave without finishing the fight!" Darkwing shouts.
"We're still able to move onto the next stage even if we don't beat them," says Tails.
"But we didn't beat them, we need to go back and beat them!"
"I don't think we can beat that boss. I think that is how we beat them, they just run away," I say.
"I don't think that's the case. I think- no, I know we can beat them all. If we didn't lose all our power ups, we could beat them. Let's do that boss again."
"Darkwing, the only way for us to do that is to start at the beginning again," says Tails.
"Then let's do that, we're not doing so well anyway. Look at this, we are on our last life. We won't get far with that."
"Darkwing, are you upset that the boss got away?" Amy asks.
"N-n-no! What make you think that?! I'm just saying that we should start again. Now that we know what we are doing in the first few stages, we should be able to get through them without losing any life."
"Okay, let start again," I say.
We reset it and start from the start. We make sure to keep all our power ups and avoid the '!?' when the grey bar light up. We make it back to the mouths fight where we are beating them much more quickly. Darkwing is right, we can beat them. We have to be very quick to beat them all. The faces in the background didn't laugh at us this time, their mouths and eyes go big as if they have been beaten very badly.
"Ha! Who has the last laugh now?!" Darkwing and Crystal shout.
"So you did just want to beat them. You were upset that they had the last laugh," says Amy.
"Wh-wh-what?! I mean…um… Who said anything about having the last laugh?!" says Darkwing.
"You just yelled it out a few seconds ago."
"I did…? I… heh heh heh, I…"
"Do not worry Darkwing. It is a good thing we start over as we have more lives than before," says Crystal.
"Don't start making excuses for him. You're just as happy as he is that we beaten that boss," says Amy.
"And why do you think that?"
"You also yelled it out."
"I did…? I… heh heh heh, I…"
"It's really weird for a princess to say that."
"Oh, how unlike me," says Crystal as she notices what she was just saying.
"And at the same time it isn't. After all, you and Darkwing are cousins so it's not surprising that you might have picked up some few things from him."
"I really hope you meant that in a good way," says Darkwing.
"There are times where you need to- what are the words? Blow off some streams," says Crystal.
"So true," says Darkwing.
"I guess you're right. We'll let you two off," says Amy.
We fly back through space again. We beat the same bad guys again. After that, we shoot down pigs with wings. They shoot us with their bows and arrows. The next place is a crazy place with pink trees and upside down mountains. The pigs on the floor and roof try to hit us by making their arms very big. Bees come out of the little houses this time. We fly through this place, shooting down most of the bad guys.
"Did anyone see that?!" Amy says to us.
We look and see a pink tree walking. "The tree move!" I say.
"That is good to hear. I thought I was the only one seeing this," says Crystal.
"I'm used to this," says Darkwing.
The tree keeps moving under us. We carefully fly over and under the trees. We fly under another tree just as the moving tree starts to move across. We crash into the moving tree and lose a life. We try again and this time we quickly fly under that tree before the moving tree moves. We make it and carry on through this place. The moving tree just moves away from us. The mountains get angry at us and spit out eggplants at us. We shoot the eggplants down and quickly fly across. We can't beat the mountains so we just have to avoid their attacks. We make it past it all and go into this big room where we fight a big pig.
This pig drops lots of things on us by hitting his feet on the floor. This causes the place to shake and things to fall down on us. We move out of the way while shooting the big pig. The big pig's eyes go all big when we hurt him. He slowly goes closer to us. When he finally moves to the middle, he attacks us by making his arm very big. We avoid his attack and keep shooting him. The big sign on the top falls down on him and squashes him.
Back in space, we shoot down flying heads with wings. This is very different and they come in different colours. A very big flying ship with a big head on the front comes at us. The big head wears glasses and he spits yellow round things at us. We avoid it and shoot down his mouth to stop his attacks. We also break his glasses and nose. Now I can see his eyes properly. He doesn't look too happy about that. We start at the top of the ship. We shoot down all the head bad guys on the top of the ship. We stop at the yellow head bad guys with lots of eyes. His eyes go all funny when we beat him. We go backward back to the front and fly under the big ship. Now I know where all those head bad guys come from. There are these grey things on the ship that open up and let out those head bad guys. We have to squeeze in that little space up there right under the big ship. We carefully wait there, waiting for the screen to move back down.
"This is a little too close for comfort," says Darkwing.
"Be careful everybody, one wrong move and we'll lose a life," says Tails.
After a while, the screen moves back down and we make it past the very big ship. We keep going until we fight a red woman head. The only way to beat her is to shoot her in the eyes. She spits out a big green head thing from her mouth. The green head thing goes right at us. We go under to avoid it. The green head thing stops and goes down at us. We quickly move out of the way. The red woman head keeps spitting out more green head things. We try our best to avoid them. We lose a life because we couldn't move out of the way in time. We need to be very quick. We try again and after a long while, we beat her.
We go back into space where we carry on shooting down the bad guys. There are lots of colourful balls here. Wow! This place is very colourful and it looks fun! This place has bright lights everywhere! There are lots of bad guys in here that we lose all our life and have to start again from the start. We go through all the stages again. On the second stage with the big woman, I notice there is a spot near the end of that stage that is safe. It is at the very top right corner and we can safely stay there without having to go under her leg again for the last time. I don't know why Darkwing, Sonic and Tails were going red in their faces when we were waiting up there. Maybe they were worried that we were going to get hit by her, she was getting very close to us. I told them that we won't get hit if we stay up in that top right corner and I'm right. She didn't fully move to the right and just moved to the left and left us.
We make it back to the colourful stage and lose a life. There is nothing we could do, the bad guys were everything! They all appeared around us and gone straight for us at the same time. Wow! We are getting a lot of power ups in here that we make the grey bars light up a lot. We avoid the bad guys and carefully fly through this place. We make it back out to space where we fight this big bright colourfully light thing. This thing has arms and triangles mouth. He shoots lasers at us and moves up and down. The round thing inside him is his weak point but it is very hard to shoot it. His triangles mouth and arms are stopping our attacks from hitting it. We have to wait for him to open his mouth and move his arms out of the way. It takes a long while but we are able to beat him.
We shoot down the bad guys in space and go into a pink place. Lots of bubbles attack us. We shoot them down and carry on flying through this strange place. Girls in bubbles throw dangerous things at us.
"Watch it! Why are you throwing darts at me?! What have I ever done to you to make you mad?!" Darkwing says to the girls in bubbles.
"These girls may be beautiful but they lack in proper manners," says Crystal.
We shoot their bubbles which causes them to fall in the pink stuff. More girls in bubbles circle around this place. I think there's a pig dressed up like those girl. We couldn't shoot them all down so we shoot some of them down and fly over the rest of them. The girl scream, "Ah!" as they fall down into the pink stuff. We shoot more bad guys down and make it to a very big room. I can see outside all the pink stuff. We slowly fly to a very big woman with yellow hair. She opens her eyes and blows bubbles full of little bad guys from her hand. The little bad guys go straight at us. We shoot down the bad guys and attack the girl's eyes. The girl closes her eyes and scream, "Oh!"
"Darkwing, we need to fight her," I say. I notice that Darkwing isn't fighting her.
"Fight her?! I… I… I can't… I…um… I can't fight her because…it doesn't feel right…for a gentleman like myself to fight an woman. Gentlemen don't fight women," says Darkwing.
"But what if they start the fight?" says Tails.
Darkwing shakes his head. "Nope, still not fighting them."
"Do you not fight villainous women in your world?" asks Crystal.
"Yeah…" Darkwing then says in a quiet voice, "but they are not as graceful let alone beautiful as this boss we are facing."
"I do not think I hear you right."
"It's nothing! Look, I will help you beat those little minions of hers but that's all I'm going to do, okay?"
Darkwing beats the little bad guys in bubbles while we fight the big girl. We keep shooting her in the eyes. We keep shooting her until we beat her. She screams and then closes her eyes and cries a lot. We go past her and slowly back into space.
"Why do I feel so guilty?" says Darkwing.
"Darkwing, she is working for the bad guys. You do not need to feel guilty for that," says Crystal.
"It's still sad to see her crying like that."
"Darkwing, are you in love with her?" Amy asks.
"No! Why did you say that?! She is beautiful but I already got someone! And she is the most beautiful person I ever met! She has this unique nature about her, a spooky yet loveliness personality with the flair for the magical arts."
Sonic waves one of his hands in front of Darkwing. Darkwing doesn't notice it. "Is there something wrong with him?" Tails asks.
"No, he's just in love," says Amy. "You can tell by his looks, he's daydreaming about her. And the way he talks about the love of his life, it's so adorable!"
"Though I do want to hear more about it, I am afraid we have unwelcome company," says Crystal and she points at the bad guys.
We shoot down the bad guys. I miss one of the chicken bad guys. That chicken bad guy flies toward Darkwing and knock off Darkwing's hat.
"Darkwing!" I shout.
Darkwing didn't notice me shouting his name. More bad guys come in. We aren't able to shoot down all the fish bad guys. The fish bad guys that got away fly right at Darkwing and make holes in his cape.
Darkwing!" we all shout but Darkwing still can't hear us.
"Oh no, Darkwing is still daydreaming about his love of his life! He's not noticing all the dangers around him. We better shake him out of it," says Amy.
Sonic goes behind Darkwing and hits him in the back. "Hey! What's that for?!" Darkwing shouts. "If you're trying to congratulate me, you just need pat my back, softly?!" Darkwing looks at where Sonic is pointing and sees more bad guys. "Why didn't you say so?!" Sonic gives him a look that says 'I just did'. "Right then, who's ready for some more beating?!" says Darkwing. He puts his hand on his head and notices that his hat is gone. "Hey, where's my hat?!" He looks everywhere but couldn't find his hat. Sonic gives his hat back. Darkwing puts his hat back on and puts his cape in front of him. "Oh right evildoers, it time to- where did these holes come from?!" Darkwing shouts and points at his cape.
"Those bad guys attacked you while you were daydreaming," says Tails.
"Attacking me while I was daydreaming, what a low and dirty trick, that's it, now they ask for it!"
Darkwing is not too happy about the bad guys. He shoots down the bad guys that come in. We help Darkwing in shooting down the bad guys. We go in an ice place that has an ice penguin at the front. We shoot down the bad guys and fly down to the water.
As soon as Darkwing goes into the water, he flies back out. "Brrrrr! That's cold! You can't be serious, we have to go in there?!"
"I am not too fond of it myself. Is there any other way?" says Crystal.
"Looks like we have no choice, the screen is moving into the water," says Tails.
"Oh great, let's make this quick," says Darkwing. He's not too happy about that.
We go into the water where we shoot down more bad guys in the water. There are crabs and penguins underwater. There are also these brown things on the floor that spit out jellyfish bad guys. We carry on flying, shooting down lots of fish bad guys that go toward us. We shoot down more bad guys and make it out of the water only for us to fly back into the water after a while.
After beating more bad guys, we make it to a big room where we fight a round fish with spikes. The round fish shoots out spikes as we shoot his face. We avoid his spikes and keep shooting him. The spikes are getting bigger and the round fish is getting bigger every time we hit him. We make him so big that he fills this whole place. There is not much space here, just a little space on the left. We stay on the far left to avoid bumping into the very very big round fish.
"Brace yourself, he's gonna blow!" Darkwing shouts.
The round fish goes too big that he blows up. We are back in space again beating bad guys. The next place is scary with lots of bone everywhere and penguins with blood.
"Let's get through this place quickly," says Darkwing. He is covering my eyes.
"Good idea, this is no place for a girl like Julie," says Amy.
"What's the age rating for this?! They didn't check this stage properly if this game is suitable for all ages."
"I can't see," I say.
"That's the point, this place is a bit too scary for you," Darkwing says to me. He still has his hands on my eyes.
"I know, I don't like it because I scared of bone. Why do that penguin got blood? Blood is bad isn't it? Did they turn into penguin monster?"
"I think you mean blood is scary. You could say that penguin did get turned into a monster. They are zombies."
"Zombie?"
"You don't want to know."
"I don't like it. I can't see."
"As I said before, this place is too scary for you."
"But I need to shoot the bad guys."
"Oh yeah…" Darkwing takes his hands off my eyes. "Let's quickly beat this stage. The sooner we beat it, the sooner we can get out of here. And Julie, try not to look around this place too much. This creepy place might give you nightmares."
We carry on beating the bad guys in this place. The bone fishes are hard to beat because they take a lot of hits to beat. Blue fires come out of nowhere and go straight for us. We can easily beat them by just shooting them. Bone monsters throw their heads up, trying to hit us with their heads. Beating the bone monsters will cause them to throw lots of little bones at us. We have to be careful when that happens. It starts to rain as we fly past some of the bad guys. I see the hero with us gets out a little umbrella. I find that funny that he got out an umbrella! Weird bone monsters throw lots of bones at us. It looks like their bodies got built into a round thing with no legs to walk with. They can still move their heads and mouths. We find red fires that give us power up when we beat them. We beat more bad guys and get to this place with two big rocks on the top. Bone monsters throw their heads at us while yellow spinning monsters fly in. We shoot them down as they fly in from the top.
After beating lots of them, we fly out where we fight lots of blue things. The blue things are in a big circle and they chase after us. We fly around to avoid them. Shooting them is no good as our attacks do nothing to them. After a while the blue things go into this big bone monster's mouth. The bone monster changes his face into a woman. I find that scary. The woman flies around on the right and sends fires at us. We shoot down the fires and shoot the colourful ball under the woman's face. After a while, the blue things come back out and chase us again. We fly around and wait for them to go back into the woman. We keep fighting her until we beat her.
We are out of that scary place and back in space where we beat more of those bad guys. The music in the next place sound like someone is fighting. Listening to this music, I can picture two guys fighting with swords. They hit each other's sword to the beat of the music. I look and see octopuses and penguins washing themselves. The pig bad guys blow bubbles from their noses while washing themselves. We shoot down the dangerous bubbles and beat the pig bad guys. The pig bad guys fall on their sides when they are beaten. Oh, there are penguins on fire. They are running around very quickly. They are trying to put out the fire by running around. I find that funny. We are going over a very big bath. There are fishes jumping in the bath and big guys at the top. We quickly fly under the big guys at the top which cause them to fall down into the bath. This bath is very very big. There are lots of waters everywhere. We go past the very big bath and fly over to the next part.
There are three small places we can go through. There're a bone monster at the top, a pig in the middle and nothing at the bottom. I think the bone monster is eating breads and the pig is dancing with things in his hands. The bone monster takes a lot of hits to beat while the pig only takes a few hits to beat. We go at the bottom where we go through very quick and easy. Next, there are two bone monsters at the top, two pigs in the middle, and a bone monster and pig at the bottom. We should take the middle one but I keep flying at the bottom. It takes me a while but I beat the bone monster and quickly beat the pig before I crash into him. The screen keeps going so we can't go back or stop. We take the bottom one as there are three pigs at the bottom. The top has two pigs and a bone monster while the middle has one pig and two bone monsters. We lose a life in the next one because we took the middle one. We took the middle one because we thought that was the easy one. The top and bottom have bone monsters at first while the middle one has a pig. We beat the pig but have to shoot down two bone monsters. We took too long shooting the bone monsters. The screen keeps moving forward and pushes us right into the bone monster. We do it again, this time we take the right ones. We take the top one which has one bone monster and two pigs. The bottom one has three bone monsters so there's no way we can go through there.
We make it to the boss which is a very big octopus washing his head. We hit him which causes him to stop and look at us. He washes his head very quickly which makes lots of colourful bubbles. We shoot the bubble and attack the big octopus. The big octopus does it again and sends more bubbles at us. We shoot them down and attack the big octopus again. The big octopus is not too happy about that and he starts to blow at us with his mouth. He shoots out bubbles from his mouth as he blows at us. The bubbles are blown out very quickly so they are very fast. We fly back to avoid the very fast bubbles and shoot them down. After that, the big octopus goes back to washing his head again. He uses the same attacks as before. We keep fighting him until we beat him.
We are back in space again. We shoot down the bad guys and go into a bright yellow place. All the penguins in here are working hard. I see some of them on the computers, some of them are running in the circle things, some of them are pushing these circle things around and some of them are throwing things in the fire machines. We shoot down the penguin bad guys as we fly through this place. There are jumping green penguins that spinning around while jumping. There are also little octopuses bad guys in here too. We shoot down these blue and pink balls that come out from nowhere. They just come out and go straight for us. We go through the very small space and into more bad guys. These big penguin bad guys take off their eyes to let the bees out of them. I find that very weird. We can't shoot the top ones so we just beat the bottom ones with our missiles. We just have to avoid the bees when they come out from the top bad guys. When the big penguins are beaten, they go dizzy with their mouth opened. We go past them and into a very big room. Something big come flying in behind us. We go inside it where we crash into the water that falls from the top.
"This isn't good, we're on our last life," says Tails.
"There's no way I'm giving up, not when we got this far!" says Darkwing.
"Then we must give it everything we got," says Crystal.
"Let beat them and win this game!" I say.
"Alright everybody, let's get dangerous!" says Darkwing. We are back in the very big room. I was waiting for that big thing to show up again but it never came in. "Hey, we just skipped the part with the shower machine… Not that I'm complaining," says Darkwing.
I really wanted to try that part again. I want to beat that thing. I see two octopuses with big pointed things on their heads. I fly in and shout, "Let's get dangerous!" I quickly fly past them and go to the far right. The others quickly follow me while avoid the octopuses.
"Julie, it's good to get dangerous but you shouldn't get too dangerous. I don't want you hurting yourself," Darkwing says to me.
"Okay, get dangerous but don't get too dangerous," I say.
"Good Julie. There is a difference between getting dangerous and getting too dangerous. If things get too dangerous, just call me and I'll sort them out. You can always count on me." Sharp metal doors slowly close behind us. "Yike! We're lucky to make it in here."
"Is there such a thing as being luckily dangerous?" says Crystal.
"Yes there is, and I think Julie might have that luck," says Darkwing.
The octopuses with the big pointed things on their heads look very sad as they lose the big pointed things when the metal doors closed. The screen moves to the right to show a very big red octopus. I think I see yellow penguins pulling something. I think they are pulling something that keeps the very big octopus' arms to the floors. The very big octopus opens his eyes and says something in a really big voice. I don't know what he said, I think he said I am strong. We shoot his mouth which makes his eyes go small every time we hit him.
"This is not working, I'm going for his legs!" says Darkwing.
Darkwing flies down and shoots the big octopus' arms. His arms go all wobbly. Darkwing goes to the top to shoot the other arms. Just as he shoots them, we beat the very big octopus. All his arms go wobbly and his eyes are crying a lot. The planet goes all over the place, hitting the sides. It becomes flat and then grows big until it blows up. The planet is now dizzy. We follow our heroes around in space and out into the- CRASH! I don't know what happened but our heroes crash into glass? We accidentally crash into the heroes as we are flying too fast. Ouch!
We get back up and Darkwing looks at the broken glass. "Oh boy, I hope the people playing this game have home insurance."
"What happened?" Tails asks.
"Let's just say they won't be watching their favourite shows for a while. Now if you excuse me, ouch, I think I got a doctor appointment right about now." Darkwing falls down on his flying board.
"Yes, I think I too have a doctor appointment," says Crystal as she also falls down on her flying board.
"We should have been very careful but we didn't expect to crash into anything out here in space," says Tails.
I didn't get hurt too badly as I crashed into my friends. They are soft so I didn't hurt myself too badly. I think I just hurt one of my arms and legs just a little. I end up getting an eye patch on one of my eyes because they thought I hurt my eye. I keep bumping into my friends. Darkwing and Crystal are wrapped up like a mummy monster. Darkwing is in the wheelchair while Crystal sits in a small square car. That car is being pull by Twinbee. Tails gets his tails wrapped up while Sonic and Amy get their heads, and arms wrapped up. Sonic also has his legs wrapped up. The penguin has his head wrapped up and is walking using a stick, the octopus has two sticks to help him walk, Twinbee has an eye pad and a broken arm that is wrapped, and the spaceship flies really funny. We all walk very funny down the road with light shining on us. We all fall down at the end. Next thing we are okay and playing this again.
"Let's just finish it here," says Darkwing. "We won this game and save the day."
"And we don't want to crash again at the end," says Amy.
"Definitely not," says Darkwing. I don't think he's too happy about being wrapped up like a mummy monster.
"I must agree, those bandages do not look good on me," says Crystal.
"We all walk funny and I keep crashing into you," I say.
We all smile and laugh. We find this adventure very fun. We say goodbye to our friends and go back to our homes.
And the game is Parodius for the Super Nintendo, ahhh, the good times where they used to make cute and crazy games. I made some few references to Darkwing and Sonic such as the star bumper and certain villains being mentioned. Also, I thought the ceiling was called roof, I didn't know what the top part was called when I was a kid.
