"Hello there, I'm Simmons from the popular web series, Red vs Blue."
"And I'm Grif from the same series."
"And today, we'll be telling you about the dos and don'ts of-"
"THORON!"
"Huh?" The two turned their heads, only to get blasted away off screen. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Reflet appeared on the screen. "Sorry, no hard feelings!" She called out as Kamek appeared in front of the screen.
"I could've easily teleported them away."
"Eh, where's the fun in that? Besides, they can't hog all the fun in these PSAs."
"True, true. Ehehehehe." Kamek chuckled as the two looked at the screen.
BGM: Route 201 - Day (Pokemon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl)
"Now then. Hello everyone, I'm Reflet, the ridiculously cute twin sister of Robin and from the popular Nintendo franchise, Fire Emblem."
"And I'm Kamek from the more popular Nintendo franchise, the Super Mario series."
"Today, we're gonna teach you a few things about magic!"
PSA: Magical Responsibility
"Indeed." Kamek nodded. "With every adventure a story tells, there's ought to be one such individual that seeks to learn the ways of magic. However, one shouldn't be too careless otherwise things may get messy such as a forest fire, plants getting dried up, or worse… making a school of Cheep Cheeps go belly up."
"…Do I even want to know?" Reflet asked.
"You don't wanna know… Magikoopa school was chaotic." Kamek shuddered, causing Reflet to sweatdrop. "Speaking of school, I'm assuming Robin isn't here because he's busy teaching a class?"
"He got caught up grading school work… and then after that, Tharja will help him relax."
"Tharja…" Kamek shuddered. "I'd rather not meet her in a dark alleyway."
"Oh, she's not that bad." Reflet chuckled. "Anywho, as Kamek was say, one should never be too careless if you're inexperienced in that type of magic. Otherwise things might get… problematic."
"PANTELONES GIGANTICUS!" Ashley yelled, when suddenly the trees near her shook violently before losing all of their leaves. "Oh no, not again!"
Confessional - Ashley
"I don't get it. I can never seem to get the hang of that spell. I'm using the right ingredients too… eye of newt, grandma's wig, kitten spit… I wonder if I'm using the wrong species of newt?" She rubbed her chin in thought. "Hmm, are there any Newt Pokemon out there I could try?"
End Confessional
"As you can tell, like with any source of power: With great magical power comes great magical responsibility." Kamek said.
"Huh? I don't remember hearing about that." Reflet said.
"Where were you in Magikoopa School? Oh wait…" Kamek chuckled, causing Reflet to sigh while shaking her head.
"In any case, magic comes in all shapes and sizes, plus they can come from anything. You can do it with your hands, a wand, a spell book/tome… anything that you can put your mind toward it. And yes, spell books and tomes count as real magic."
"Indeed. Wands and spell books can easily help control your magic until one day, you might no longer need them and have it course through your veins. Now, I could easily get rid of this wand and use magic without it, but I prefer using it. It's a lot cooler coming out of the wand."
"And with my tome. I could easily conjure up electricity or fire without it, but I choose to use it from the tome. It's a lot cooler that way in my opinion." Reflet giggled. "Now for beginners, you can just have a few spells such as-" Fire conjured up in the palm of Reflet's hand. "The humble Fire spell. With it, you can burn your enemies or you can simple make a small campfire."
"Or set a forest on fire if you're not careful."
"Right." Reflet nodded. "Fire, while useful, can be destructive if used in the wrong hands. And as you progress through your magical journey, your fire spells will be more lethal. So use this wisely… and don't use it indoors unless you plan on burning your old home to the ground. Magic isn't to be played with… unless you happen to be Tharja."
A fire truck rolled into a scene as several Toads came out along with Pac-Man as he threw down the fire hydrant as the Toads hooked up the hose and started to extinguish the flames.
"What was the cause of this?" The Fire Chieftain Toad asked.
"Fire Magic. A little boy got too close to a curtain while playing with his newfound fire capabilities."
"Another one? That's the fifth time this week! Hmph… a few more and I'll get that free milkshake." He mumbled.
"Another such example is the humble lightning spell. Lightning, like fire, can be extremely dangerous. And for those who don't know, electricity can very very HOT. A single strike from a lightning bolt can reach up to 50,000 degrees, which is most likely because air is a poor conductor of heat so it can get really hot if-"
"What's with the science lesson?"
"Sorry, I tend to nerd out on subjects such as this." Kamek cleared his throat. "As I said, lightning magic can be dangerous. Same with ice magic. It's cool to the touch and can be very refreshing on a hot day HOWEVER… there's such a thing as hypothermia and frostbite, so if you're sparring with friends and you strike them with ice magic… may I suggest mixing it up with fire to warm them up? One shouldn't be turned into a popcicle!"
"There are many different types of magic and as you go through your magical journey, you can upgrade your magic for a more powerful variant. For instance, Fire can go into Elfire and Bolganone… or for you Square Enix fans: Fira and Firaga. Blizzard into Blizzara and Blizzaga and so on."
"Aside from the magic we just discussed, there are more types of magic. Healing, wind, light, dark, earth, water, plants, gravity, time and so on. Perhaps there could be a type of magic that suits you best. Feel free to experiment and see what fits you! I do recommend trying it out in an open field and not indoors, just so you won't destroy anything."
"I do recommend not using Time magic around time lords. They tend to get a bit grumpy around that…"
Confessional - Dialga
Dialga looked at the screen with an annoyed expression and then picked up a sign with his mouth. "Time magic doesn't annoy me as everyone thinks it does. It's messing with time itself with a time machine is when I get cranky! It's why I'm not fond of Back to the Future."
End Confessional
"Anywho, use these magic spells to your heart's content and see what fits you best! Oh, and there's a type of non-elemental magic called Summon. This magic can have you summon anyone and they will be at your beck and call." Reflet pulled out a Materia. "For instance-"
"Where did you get that?"
"Oh, Aerith gave it to me." Reflet smiled and then raised her hand up in the air with the Materia. "Here we go!" She said as a Moogle and a Chocobo popped up.
"Kupo!"
"Kweeeh!"
"These summons can look cute, but do not let appearances fool you for you will be at their mercy if you are not careful." Reflet said as the Chocobo started pecking at Kamek.
"Ow! Ow! OW!"
"Aww, he likes you!"
"He most certainly does -ow- NOT!"
"There are many different types of summons, so feel free to use 'em however you wish! That said… like with any magic, just be careful because the more powerful they are, the more destructive they will be."
Pause BGM
"…And you're saying Mushroom City was like this when you got here to fight Sephiroth?" A Koopa cop asked as the entire Mushroom City was destroyed and practically wiped off the map.
"Yup." Cloud nodded.
"Uh-huh… and you sure it wasn't that guy?" He pointed to Bahumut Zero who was roaring in triumph and standing on a ruined skyscraper.
"I'm pretty sure."
Confessional - Cloud
"I… might have gone overboard. I thought Bahamut Zero would've destroyed a building or two, not the whole damned city." Cloud admitted. "Sad thing is, that wasn't enough to destroy that asshole."
Confessional - Sephiroth
Sephiroth leaned on a wall, casually drinking tea. "I might have egged Bahamut on to unleash his full potential. Hmph. Seeing him unleash an explosion that released a mushroom cloud was worth it."
Confessional - Bahumut
"He made fun of my wife! NO ONE disrespects Tiamat in front of me."
End Confessional
Resume BGM
"There also spells that you can recite. You don't have to recite magic, but it does make it sound cooler." Reflet said. "We magic users take pride in our work, thank you very much! That said, make sure you enunciate and say it correctly otherwise it won't either work or… you might just end up with something else."
"Yalley Mahhop Tiren Janneth!" Ruby chanted and then transformed… but instead of turning into Zinogre Ruby, she turned into… a human version of Zwei instead. "HUH?!" She yelled in surprise before blinking. "Wait, did I say "Mahwop" or "Mahhop"? …Whoops."
Confessional - Zwei Ruby
"Well, it's a good thing this mishap isn't permanent… it's about thirty minutes or so." Ruby said as her tail started wagging. "Strange, I'm suddely getting the craving for bones, dog biscuits and dog food… um… be right back!" She took off running.
End Confessonal
"Now, you might think magic is unlimited but there is a thing called magic power and if you're not careful, you can easily run out and you'll have to wait for it to recharge. Thankfully, there are plenty of items around that can boost your magic power back up. The stronger you get, the less likely your magic power will run out."
"Indeed!" Kamek nodded. "And the more you are able to control your magic, the less likely your magic power will ever run out. However! The stronger your magic is, the higher chance your magic power will deplete rapidly. It never hurts to use weaker magic to whittle your opponents down before going for a flashy finish with a stronger magic, and yes, Summoning magic uses magic power too so be careful, same goes for transformation magic if you so wish. It never hurts to mix things up."
"However, it's never a good idea to spam magic at your opponents. Not only is it a rookie move, but there are chances that some people that are immune to such magic and can use it against you, so be careful otherwise you'll end up with someone who is immune to a specific type of magic, all kinds of magic or… worse. Reflect it back at you."
Kamek shuddered. "Fighting Zelda is never fun."
"Oh, not unless you mix it up with your weapons." Reflet grinned. "Yes, you can use magic with your weapons. Either side by side or you can infuse your magic into your weapons into creating an elemental weapon that can wreak havoc on foes. Just… try not to use it on those magic resistant types juuuust in case."
"Indeed. You always have to be careful. Because even professional magic users like us slip up from time to time by accidentally using the wrong spell or accidentally enchanting the wrong word."
"BWAHAHAHAHA! You might have won this round, but I'm just getting warmed up!" Bowser smirked. "Kamek!"
"Right!" Kamek came flying over and cackled, waving his wand at him and firing magic at Bowser.
"BWAHAHAHAHA! TREMBLE BEFORE ME AS I CRUSH YOU BENEATH… my… feet…? Hey, did you secretly eat Mega Mushrooms?" Bowser asked.
"Nope!" Mario picked him up. "Kamek shrunk you down!"
Bowser sweatdropped. "Uh oh…"
"Whoops! Sorry, your tininess!" Kamek apologized as Mario flicked Bowser away.
"BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Kamek rubbed the back of his head. "That was… not my brightest moment."
"It happens to the best of us." Reflet shrugged.
"Indeed it does."
Reflet smiled, looking at the screen. "So! Now you know the ins and outs of magic, so if you ever feel the need to spice things up, go ahead and try some magic out! Just be wary of your surroundings, your magic power and your enemies who might use it against you. Other than that, have fun~!"
"Use it responsibly!" Kamek advised.
"Indeed. This is Reflet!"
"And this is Kamek! We'll be seeing you next-"
"Kweh!" The Chocobo snagged Kamek's wand and ran off.
"Kupoooo!" The Moogle exclaimed while riding on the Chocobo.
"Hey! HEY! Get back you, you thieves!" Kamek hopped on his broom and flew off. "You are literally worse than that thieving goose in the Chibi!"
Reflet shook her head. "Oh well, what are you gonna do?" She shrugged. "Anyway, see you late-"
"HONK!"
"…Uh oh." Reflet whimpered as she turned her head to see the Goose approach her. "No! Stay back! You are NOT taking my Levin Sword and tomes again!" She said as she took off as the Goose chased after her.
"HONK!"
"GET AWAY! AAAAH!"
