NitroGaming: Presents Warped
Chapter 12
Passing the Time
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any characters and games featured in this fanfiction, they belong to their rightful owners.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This chapter will be sort of a filler part, but I've wanted to do a chapter on this topic ever since I started this fanfiction. This is gonna get good. (This chapter takes place the day that the whole cable incident happened)
I am finally breathing again after the scare we had earlier. I checked about 2 hours ago to see if we had left our dimension and we had. We were in the Midway Pass, a gigantic area about the size of Jupiter. The area was the gateway to every single universe and solar system that existed. Areas about the size of 3 city blocks are where the portals were accessible. The warp zone the sword was leading me to, was on the far side of the pass. It would take 2 to 3 days to fly there.
I walked downstairs to the second floor. The crafting room and library were down here, but that's not where I was heading. I was walking towards the door along the back wall of the hallway. The door had been boarded up until Spark had his Fire Berry incident a couple of my-universe days ago. I wanted to know why the door was boarded up like that and what was in the room. I creaked open the wooden door and saw Hider playing Splatoon. I have Nintendo Switch in my quarters, but several consoles from different generations were also hooked up to the 36 inch flat screen.
"Gosh damn I can't aim this Killer Wail!" said Hider. I silently crept up to the ghost and tried to start a conversation.
"Hey Hider, I didn't know you were into gaming."
The blue ghost turned around and saw me and panicked. He shut off the TV, unplugged all the consoles and stored them carefully in about 15 seconds.
"Are you feeling okay Hider?" "You always want to work in the crafting room. I have never seen you play a videogame before."
"Oh, it's nothing." If the ghost had teeth, they would be chattering like crazy.
"Okay I give up, when I was still alive, when I wasn't playing all of those hide and seek games, I had a passion for gaming." I had always collected them and even built this room in the ship to store them. I didn't want anyone else coming in here, so I made paranormal barriers so that no ghost could come in here. I always left the one side open, where I could enter without any of the other ghosts knowing.
"Mind if I grab a couple of N64 games for tonight?" Link is likely going to fall asleep again with his nightmares about dumbwaiters for whatever reason.
"Go ahead, just be cautious with them."
I grabbed about half a dozen games and one of his regular N64s and went upstairs to the 4th floor. Link was reading an issue of Swordsman's Weekly (Credit to CrashGuy01) and Spark was putting a bag of microwaveable popcorn in the well, microwave.
"You guys want to play some games from the 90s?"
"I wasn't even born in the 90s." replied Link.
"I wanted to try something different for once." I gave as a response.
I let Link decided what game we'd play first. Unfortunately, I hadn't seen what games I grabbed, so Link grabbed the "Mario Party 3" disc.
"Are you sure you want to play this?" This game I know can ruin friendships.
"I'm a risk taker, I'll play anything."
"I'm in too." said Spark.
"Okay, you'll regret this." I gave as my last warning.
I set up the game and let everyone choose their players. Since there were 3 of us, we'd have one AI. I'm playing as DK, Link as Luigi, Spark as Yoshi, and The AI as Wario. I selected the Woody Woods board and we started.
"This is gonna be chaos." I muttered to myself.
(What I'm doing is I'll put in highlights of the game at each point something funny happens so this doesn't drag out too much.)
Turn 1, everyone has landed on a blue space, Rocky is the last to roll on turn 1
"7!" I shout.
(Lands on a blue space)
"HIDDEN BLOCK!" I shout.
"Wait what just happened?" asked Link.
"I got a free star!"
(After 5/25 Turns)
1st Rocky, 1 Star, 35 Coins
2nd Link, 0 Stars, 37 Coins
3rd AI, 0 Stars, 9 Coins
4th Spark, 0 Stars, 3 Coins
Turn 8
Link rolls a 3 and Lands on Game Guy
"What does this guy do?"
"He takes of all your money, and forces you to play a luck-based game to get them back."
"So I'm at risk at losing 56 Coins."
"And you just lost them"
"Are you freaking kidding me?"
Spark then rolls an eight, also sending him to Game Guy,
"At least I only have 15 coins."
Game Guy's Roulette is played,
"I'm betting the Bob-omb, so I get 8x if I win?"
Link is still frustrated as he's has his head buried in his arms. The roulette spins around and sure enough, it lands on the Bomb.
"I just hit the motherlode!"
"Are you flipping serious."
"Yeah, you just got 120 coins Spark; I'm the only one now that hasn't been to Game Guy.
(Turn 14)
Rocky is one space in front of the star.
"Okay, where are moles switching?"
(Moles switch signs so that Rocky is sent the other way)
"ARGH" I shout.
(At Last 5 Turns)
1st Rocky 3 Stars, 24 Coins
2nd Link 2 Stars, 11 Coins
3rd Spark 1 Star, 177 Coins
4th AI 1 Star, 35 coins
(Turn 23)
AI decides to use their dueling glove,
"Please duel Spark, please." pleaded Link.
(Wario Selects Link)
"You have got be kidding..."
(Wario selects one coin as a bet)
"WHA THE TETRA WAS THAT?" as Link starts shouting.
"THIS IS TOTAL CUCKOO CRAP."
(Link defeats Wario in the mini-game)
"I deserved that, coin"
(Final Turn)
Rocky with 3 Stars and 37 Coins
Spark with 2 Stars and 163 Coins (With Boo Repellent, which prevents having coins or stars stolen)
Link with 2 Stars and 19 Coins
AI with 1 Star and 46 Coins
(AI rolls a 3)
"CHANCE TIME" I scream. Fearing the worst on what is going to happen
(In-game, AI selects who is giving away, Spark)
"Oh c'mon"
(The prize is, a coin trade)
"WHAT NO, NOT THAT"
(Person receiving is, Link)
"FINALLY SOMETHING GOOD HAPPENED!"
"Well, I think that gave Link the win." I say.
"I forgot I got a Boo Bell" I quip.
(Steal Coins from Link, Steals 27 Coins)
"Oh well, that's not so bad, I might have the coin star or whatever that is."
"Anything but a 1, is what I need!"
"6!"
"Wait, are you stealing a star"?
(Steals Star from Link)
"Well, GG"
(Lands on blue space)
"HIDDEN BLOCKKK!" I shout again.
"Rocky I think you left Link either in delirium, in shock, or possibly both."
(Game results)
Rocky takes Mini-game Star
Spark takes Coin Star
Link Takes Happening Star
Rocky wins with 6 stars, 24 coins
Spark in 2nd with 2 Stars, 25 coins
Link in 3rd with 1 Star, 142 coins

"Want to play again?" I ask.
"NEVER AGAIN!" shouts Link.
