Her words echoed off the walls of the castle. I had never thought about how I was going to die, but I knew it did not involve being held at gunpoint by a slightly psychotic princess! Despite my thinking, the pressure was too much for Seren to handle. She broke down and collapsed to the floor.
"Please don't kill us! Please!" she cried, as she sobbed on the ground. She suddenly turned her head towards me screaming, "Mike! This is all your fault! If it wasn't for your stupid Wii, we wouldn't be in this mess! I wouldn't be about to di-"
"Silence"
The princess had lowered her weapon to her side. She appeared to be pondering what Seren had just said.
"You say that a Wii transported you here?
I nodded. No words would come out of my mouth.
"So you share the same fate as me," She said. "I am not truly the princess you see before you. My name is Destiny, or at least it was. My parents bought a Wii for my 19 birthday, as well as a "Super Smash Brothers game. No 19 year old plays Wii," she explained. "I did used to like Mario when I was young though, and since he was on the front cover they were all over it. I was furious! But that one night… a stormy night I think… something happened. I turned the stupid thing on… and then there was some kind of explosion! Then I woke up here."
"That's what happened to us!" Seren realized. "Mike's Wii did the same thing!"
"Let me ask you Mike," Destiny began," Did your Wii have initials on the back?
I thought about that for a second. The Wii my parents had bought was pre-owned. They said they had purchased it from a nice couple who says their daughter had run away. The Wii I owned had the faint markings of "D.J" on the back. I had just ignored that until now.
"D.J. Destiny… Johnson?"
"Correct." Destiny smiled. "I haven't been called that in a long time!"
Seren had collected herself. "So how do we escape?"
"You don't. I have been trapped here for over 2 years…. I think. I've looked."
"Wait a minute." I said. "If you are Destiny Johnson, where is the real Princess Peach?"
Destiny laughed. "I ask myself that everyday. The toads had found me when I had come to. Apparently my blonde hair makes me a perfect copy of Peach. The toads told me I had been missing for awhile."
"This is too much to take in." Seren had stood up and now looked ill. "So what do we do now?"
"I have been thinking about that. I will simply tell my subjects that you both are travelers from a land far away. They always eat that kind of garbage up!"
"And where will we sleep?" I asked? The closer I was to Destiny, the better!
"There are some spare rooms for guests up in the top floor. The staircase is to your right."
"Thank you!!" Seren said, as she ran out of the room.
I don't blame her. This was a lot to take in. Once Seren had left, the room returned to the eerie quiet that had been there before.
"So, Mike, I think you might be the person I need to help solve a little problem"
"And what would that be?" At this point, I was willing to do anything to repay her. And the fact that I might have a chance with her doesn't hurt either!
"This kingdom may seem peaceful. But this is still a video game world. Gannandorf, Wario, and all of the other evil characters are quite real, and dangerous. I fear that they killed the original Peach. If they find out about you, they will not stop until you are captured."
"What would they want with me?"
"They are hunting the heroes. Taking them out one by one to weaken this kingdom. But I have a feeling… no… a sense that tells me you are exactly what we need."
"What about Donkey Kong? The blue haired dude! I can't fight!" I said worriedly.
"Also heroes, yes, but I fear their time is short here. We need a hero. I think you are that hero, Mike."
I can't fight. I've never even seen a fight before! They'd eat me alive!
"By the way, these evil creatures are in possession of the most powerful magic in this entire world. If there is a way home, it has to be with them."
It could be the only way home…. For all three of us. I can't just stay here and do nothing!
"I'll do it. I don't like it, but I'll do it."
"Excellent! First thing tomorrow morning Marth will take you out to do some training. I'll invite all of the kingdom's greatest heroes to help. You will save this kingdom Mike. I know it."
"Well I'm glad you're confident, because I'm not!"
As I started walking towards the staircase, something interesting happened. Destiny stood up and walked behind me. When she was next to me she took her finger and lightly traced it across my shoulders.
"I'm so glad your here, Mike." She whispered into my ear.
I turned around just as she began to walk away. She stopped, turned, and winked her eye at me before turning around and continuing.
That. Was. Awesome!
Once I had reached my room on the top floor, I realized just how late it was. The sun was setting and the sky was a dark orange. It looked beautiful.
My room was the same. It was the biggest room I have ever seen! The walls were a dark blue and the floor was a marble brown. The huge bed in the middle was a pearl white… with something on it. I rushed over to see what it was.
Lying on the bed was a sword and shield.
The sword had a black hilt with tiny hints of red. As for the shield, it was a dark black dragon intertwined with one huge red letter… "M"
The gift came with a note:
Dear Mike, this sword and shield will aid you in battle. You must learn to master even the oldest of weapons before anything else. Don't worry, the guns and such will come later… I promise. Use these gifts well, noble night…
Sincerely, Princess Destiny
P.S.: Mario vanished a long time ago… I'm single (:
