After watching this guy on Youtube named ProtonJonSa get a tribute to all his rage fests, screams and cries of anguish while playing Super Mario Bros., I decided to dedicate this chapter to him…Well, this is what happens on one of Terra's off days when he's not writing an essay for school and playing Mario Bros….

Video Game Rage Fests, Screams, Tears and Terrors, pt. I

In the Pellegrino household, February 28th…

Due to another abnormal snowstorm, everyone in Radiant Garden was told to stay home until the storm had passed. Eraqus, trying to find something to do, helped out in the usual chores. Aqua watched her soaps while Ven was in Terra's room, watching the poor guy play Mario Bros.

He sat there with his cup of hot cocoa and saw that Terra didn't blink for more than ten minutes. "Uh…Terra, aren't you gonna blink?" Ven asked him.

"Shh!" Terra said, not looking away from the screen.

Ven looked on the screen and saw that Terra had only 100 seconds to move Mario from the start to the end. Since Terra was a part-time LPer (Let's Player), he had a microphone connected to his headset. "Hey, this is EarthBoss312 with another Let's Play for Mario Bros," he said as if talking to the headset.

"Terra, who are you talking to?" Ven asked.

"Oh and this, people, is my little brother…" Terra said and looked at Ven.

"Oh, WindRage96," Ven said, saying his codename for Youtube.

"So, we're here on the first level and you see that I only have 100 seconds…I hate this game…" Terra said.

"Then why are you playing it?" Ven asked.

"Well, someone, that being Squall, challenged me to make a let's play on a Mario Bros. ROM hack without quitting. I hate him…If you guys see any of Lion'sHeart videos, cuss him out for me," Terra said to his viewers.

"O-O-Okay…" Ven said, a bit scared.

Within seconds of attempting to move Mario from one part of the screen to another, Mario fell and Terra yelled, "F…"

"Terra…" Eraqus warned from the hallway.

"Fruitcake," Terra muttered darkly.

"Okay, I'll just say 'beep' every time you wanna curse, Terra," Ven said, drinking some hot cocoa.

"Alright…" Terra said, attempting to launch Mario to a tiny platform on screen. Sadly he missed and Mario fell to his death.

"What? WHAT? WHAT THE…!" Terra yelled.

"Beep," Ven said.

Aqua came in the room, hearing all the yelling, and saw that Terra was playing Mario Bros. and having another rage fest. "This again? Aren't you tired of playing games that piss you off?" Aqua asked.

"YES! BUT STUPID (beep) SQUALL TOLD ME TO DO IT! I HATE HIM! I (beep) HATE HIM!" Terra said with Ven saying "beep" the whole time.

Calming down a bit, Terra said, "Oh, AzureSea23 just came in. Say 'hi', Aqua."

"Hello! And don't mind my brother's rage fests…He gets pretty angry when he loses," Aqua said, handing Terra and Ven some cupcakes she found in the fridge (a chocolate one for Terra and a peanut butter one for Ven).

Poor Mario was sent back to the beginning of the stage and Terra saw that he was sent to the very, very beginning. "WHAT? WHAT?" he screamed.

"Calm down, Terra. You'll get it sooner or later," Aqua said.

"Yeah, you just need to calm down and don't swear so…WHAT?" Ven yelled, seeing that Terra had led Mario to a "garden of death".

"What the he-ee-ee-eck?" Terra yelled, crying the whole time.

"Er…I'm not gonna say anything…" Aqua muttered.

"What's with all these demonic plants of death?" Ven asked.

"I dunno, but Squall expects me to make it to the other side in less than 30 seconds. Okay, jump Jumpman! Jump!" Terra said.

Mario jumped over the first two sets of death plants and was on his way to the third. Surprisingly, he passed over the next four sets of death plants and made it to the exit. Sadly, Terra forgot to activate a bridge, sending poor Mario to drown by something he calls "death water".

"WHAT? WHAT? WHAT THE (beep) (beep) (beep)! I CAN'T GET ACROSS THE (beep, beep, beep, beep, beep!)!" Terra screamed curses while Ven yelled "beep".

"Wow…this is odd…" Aqua muttered and left, going to find one of her beanbag chairs to sit in.

Once she came back, she saw that Terra and Ven were staring intently at the screen. The reason why was Terra passed the first three stages without killing Mario. "Oh thank God," Terra said, sighing.

"Yay! I can finally stop with the beeps and breathe," Ven said.

"So…" Aqua said.

"Terra cursed the whole time…" Ven replied.

The three then saw that Mario moved to stage four of the special stage. When Terra saw how hard it was, he screamed (while Ven yelled "beep"), "(Beep) (Beep)! (Beep) (beep, beep, beep, beep), Squall, you fat bastard! "

"Wow, Terra…You're cursing a lot…" Aqua said.

"Shut it, Aqua!" Terra yelled.

Aqua rolled her eyes and grabbed the controller from Terra's hands. "I'll play," Aqua told him.

"Alright, the one who's playing now is AzureSea. Hopefully she'll get across…WHAT?" Terra said, screaming at the end. The reason why he screamed was that Aqua beat the fourth stage in less than 20 seconds.

"How did you…?" Ven asked.

"I was patient. Terra was having Mario jump around like a madman," Aqua said calmly.

That is…until she saw there was a fifth stage. When she saw how hard it was, she screamed, "What? WHAT THE DEUCE!"

The reason why it was so hard was that the stage was filled with "death plants", evil football players, koopas, and many other enemies. The screen also changed colors and some of the enemies turned invisible at random. "Oh, Squall…You sick son of a (beep)!" Aqua yelled.

"Oh my…Aqua. What a potty mouth you have," Terra said.

"Shut up! It was just that one time, unlike you," Aqua yelled.

She gave Terra back the control and the rage fest began again. Terra managed to get to the center of the stage when all three of them saw that Mario was now being chased by a gigantic missile of death. "AAAHH! Run Terra!" Ven yelled.

"I'm tryin'!" Terra screamed.

"Run!" Aqua screamed, putting Terra in a chokehold.

Sadly, Mario fell into a garden of death plants and Terra glared at the screen. He then pulled out his cell phone and told his viewers, "Don't mind me. I'm going to now cuss out the man responsible for this…hellish stage…"

Squall answered the phone and Terra began his rapid fire cursing. Once he was done (which was about ten minutes), Squall said, "I didn't make that ROM hack. Cloud did. So, kill Cloud, not me."

Terra hung up and called Cloud. "'Sup?" was Cloud's response.

He didn't expect for Terra's rapid fire cursing and he said, "I just found that ROM hack on the internet somewhere. Blame that Kaizo guy on Youtube."

Terra hung up and said to his viewers, "Okay, don't go and cuss out Lion'sHeart and FenrirFF7. Go and find Kaizo for me and tell him that he's dead."

"Terra, you can't give death threats over the internet," Ven yelled.

"Okay, then tell him that he'll rue the day he released that ROM hack…" Terra said darkly.

The three went back to the game and after 200 tries, Terra managed to beat the special stage. Or, so he thought.

There was a sixth level and Terra saw the difficulty. It was relatively easy. "Oh, okay. We're good. We're good," he said, leading Mario into this seemingly safe place.

That ended once he saw the screen go dark and immediately go red. The image of Giygas from Mother 2 appeared on the screen above Mario and Terra screamed, "OH GOOD GOD!"

He fell out of his chair and Ven and Aqua started laughing. "Kaizo, you sick, twisted freak! What the heck!" Terra screamed, getting up off the ground.

The image dissipated and Mario saw that he was trapped "in the pits of Hell" (as Ven put it). "OMG…What just happened?" Aqua asked, looking at the screen.

Terra had Mario move to the right of the screen and he screamed when he saw that he had the "football players from Hell" chase after Mario. "Oh (beep)! (Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep!)!" Terra yelled and receiving "beeps" from Ven.

"Oh crap! OH CHRIST!" Terra yelled as he saw hundreds of the football players rain from the heavens.

"Run, Jumpman! Run!" Ven yelled.

"RUN!" Terra screamed.

Much to Terra's relief, Mario had made it to the end. Terra sighed and saw that the special stage was over…A big, fat "yeah, right".

There was a seventh stage and Terra screamed, "I HATE YOU, KAIZO! ROT IN HELL WHEN YOU GET THERE!"

"Okay…" Aqua said.

The three then saw that the stage was nothing more than a place filled with signs. Each of the signs led Mario to the end. So, Terra beat the stage in less than 15 seconds. "What…What was that? That didn't make any sense. Oh well. At least he's got a sense of humor," Terra said, rather calm.

"Well, at least you're calm for once all day," Aqua said.

The game ended and a count appeared on the screen that said how many times Mario died with Terra playing. "I died…2,304 times? WHAT THE (beep)!" he yelled (and with good old Ven providing beeps).

The words "You Suck" appeared on the screen and Terra yelled, "(BEE-EEE-EEE-EEE-EEE-EEP!)!" The blizzard outside intensified while their neighbors covered their ears.

To this day, Terra never touched another ROM hack game…

Shorter than usual, but is nothing compared to Aqua's rage fests…Review :D
