"Dear brother. I've decided to become gay. Thank you, Luigi." Mario merely scratched his head, yawned again and fell asleep in his coffee cake he had for breakfast.

The anthropomorphic Vulpix, who's name was Blaire, heard the commotion caused by the giant mutant panda sasquatches. She quickly gets dressed, tosses a spare fire flower on her to boost her firepower, equips a White Herb on her to keep her extra firepower from running out while she uses Overheat on her foes, rushes out the door to call her boyfriend, an anthropomorphic Pikachu named Volt, for help on the phone, and then proceeds to keep those sasquatches from doing anything bad to Mario. In her heart, she could feel that something bad was about to happen, as what was in that dream was more than just a dream. It was more of a psychic vision of what could happen in the future, and Blaire was determined to not let that dream come true.

an earsplitting *BOOM* is heard across the universe and reality starts to break apart. The anthropomorphic Vulpix is hit with a ravashing hunger and can only think about what to eat. Meanwhile, when Volt is on his way to try and help Blaire, his car suddenly burst into green oozing flames!!! His fur changes to scales and eyes appear all over his body. His breath smells of a thousand corpses and teeth made out of used toilet paper.

Apparently, this "boom" was a recreation of the Big Bang, and the universe imploded upon itself, destroying everything and killing everyone, including Blaire, Volt, the Mario brothers, and the sasquatches. However, it also meant the rebirth of the universe, and billions of years afterwards, when galaxies, stars, and planets have been reformed and life has begun anew, we find a reincarnated Blaire and Volt (still an anthropomorphic Vulpix and Pikachu, but now with Soniclike speed added in) in a world that resembles a mix of various gaming worlds, like Mario, Sonic, Megaman, etc. They had recently vanquished a couple of robot look-a-likes known as "Metal Blaire" and "Metal Volt" that were sent to destroy the couple by a reincarnated Dr. Eggman, who apparently sees THEM and their anthropomorphic Pokemon friends as his main threat instead of Sonic and co.

Personal Note: I really hate doing this kind of thing whenever someone does something drastic like recently by the way, though I may still try to incorporate that mutated version of Volt that came about in a future part of this story. I wonder though, omG A coW, are you trying to win this, because I don't think that there is supposed to be a winner here.

Dr.Eggman then finds the "sands of time" shengonwu and uses it to bring his younger self and h is older self back from their time zones. All three geniuses come up with a brilliant plan to stop the anthropomorphs and to take control of the ENTIRE WORLD!!!!

The trio of Eggmen planned to create an army of frankensteinish versions of yoshis and various henchman normally in service to King Bowser's army, including goombas, koopa troopas, hammer brothers, lakitus, buzzy beetles, spinies, and bloopers, with a number of robotic enemies from the Megaman series acting as support units. In order to defend their bases from attackers, they placed bullet bill launchers, thwomps, firebars, and piranha plants on the inside and outside of their bases along with their base's unique protections. Finally, they also planned on creating copies of a number of robot masters to serve as both commanders and champions for these troops.

Unfortunately, their budget was too limited, so they could only create a copy of Magma Dragoon and Tengu Man, and their programs were likewise bugged; Magma Dragoon could only speak in Engrish (as if the localization team of Zero Wing was behind their language programs) while Tengu Man could only speak in l33t, making it difficult for either robot to communicate with their subordinates, who just stared in confusion. They did have one more robot though that did effectively command with authority, but the robot looked childish compared to the cooler-looking robots that his subordinates didn't take him too seriously.

After getting something to eat, Blaire and the rest of the gang construct a device made from a 6 foot diamond to instantly teleport to anywhere on the earth. They slowly walk into the portal and appear right behind the eggmans, magma dragoon, and tengu man! Reacting with egg like speed every single gun on the base and everyone with a weapon simultaneously fire at our heros!

Astride a magic potato alongside Mario. ________ S
Without a moment to spare, the clowns are released as meatshields. Whilst painted flesh and vermillion noses whiz by, the team heads in through a ventilation shaft that is placed above the door, leading to a mazelike labryrinth made entirely of curlers. A massive fish then ambulates rapidly towards the motley crew.

Before the fish tried to turn our heroes into supper, a mysterious reptilian figure with eyes all over its body wearing a gas mask over its mouth showed up to confront the fish. It pulled off its gas mask in order to destroy the fish with a special breath weapon that both corroded metal into rust and rotted organic matter with a short-lived, but highly infectious mold that wass often fatal in a matter of minutes or even seconds, depending on the target's size and how long the target had been in contact with the breath.

After dispatching the fish, the mysterious figure revealed that he was known as "The Vindicated One," that he was once an anthropomorphic Pikachu like Volt before his horrid transformation into what he was now, that Blaire reminded him of someone that he knew about in his past, that he was the survivor of a universe-altering catastrophe that was accidently thrown through a time warp that sent him to the 3 Eggmen's base, and that he had been hiding throughout the Eggmen's base ever since. Afterwards, the Vindicated One decided to assist our heroes in putting a stop to the Eggmen's plans, starting by using his extensive knowledge of the base to lead them out of the maze.

Note: While it may already have been noticed by some, the Vindicated One is actually the mutated Volt from before the "Big Bang" that omG_A_coW made out of my old Volt character. Also, those who know about the more recent Pokemon games will notice that Blaire, along with any other Vulpix, can absorb fire attacks (from a flamethrower for example) like a sponge can absorb water, and use that stored up energy for devastating fire-based attacks. For more information about the Pokemon series, go to Bulbapedia, a part of Wikipedia that's devoted to the Pokemon series.

With the appearance of "The Vindicated One", also called Bogof, spirits seem to be on the rise. While making their way through the labyrinth carefully following him, the ground sunddenly collapses before them and giant robots jump out! After a few seconds to analyse their new foes, Blaire realizes that the robots are in fact half mutated panda sasquatches and half robot! Eggman found them after the so thought "big bang" (actually soundeffects with a laser fired from eggman to change his form) on the brink of death after Blaire's overheat and used his eggmense intellect to recreate their bodies for his army. Supplied with laser eyes, plasma launchers, electric chainsaws as arms, and mold and heat resistant shields, it looks grim for our brave adventurers!

Fortunately, our heroes happened to spot the base's antimatter reactor, the controls for the reactor, and a teleportation portal nearby. They formed a plan to overload the reactor, causing a chain reaction that would engulf the base and anything within a 5 kilometer radius inside an atomic fireball.

In order to buy Bogof enough time to overload the reactors, the rest of the team attempted to keep the cyborg panda sasquatches busy with success. Bogof successfully managed to shut down the security measures that were needed to keep the reactor from overloading and shut down everything in the base except for the teleportation portal, which our heroes used to escape from the base, leaving the cyborg panda sasquatches, and nearly everyone else within the vicinity, to die in the imminent explosion.

After appearing back to their own teleportation portal device, Bogof parted ways with our heroes, saying that he had some other business to do elsewhere. Meanwhile, the trio of Eggmen were able to power up another teleportation portal within their base using a portable power source in order for them, the Magma Dragoon and Tengu Man clones, and the childish-looking robot (now known as Tinkles :psycho:) to escape to another of their bases before their base exploded. They then proceeded to contact some mysterious being in order to report the bad news...

Our heroes appear in front of a dark crevice leading into the depths of a cloudy mountain. With a cliff to their backs, they have no choice but to continue through the spooky passageway. But other things are on the minds of our adventurers, their dear friend Bogof who saved their lives and helped them is no longer in their company anymore. They also start to hear maniacal laughter getting louder as they continue through the tunnel...

Within a few minutes, our heroes managed to find the source of the laughter, which turned out to be an anthropomorphic Mightyena inside this encampment laughing hysterically in response to watching an absolutely hilarious video on the monitor of his computer while not on his shift. He noticed our heroes though and demanded why they were here, which our heroes responded by telling him that they were teleported inside the crevice that was mentioned earlier and were unable to turn back. The Mightyena, called Fang the Mightyena, then told the leader of the expeditionary group, a Koopa Troopa by the name of Chisel, about the unexpected arrival of our heroes.

This expeditionary group was sent by the "Global Union of Archaeological Preservation" in order to attempt to discover what had happened to the "sands of time" shengonwu that was stolen from its resting place within the mountain. Chisel offered our heroes the comfort of the group's hospitality in exchange for helping them with their job, by assisting them in discovering the fate of the missing shengonwu and/or by assisting them in the defense of the group from the wrath of the inhabitants of the mountain (such as hungry dragonets the size of SUVs and small raiding parties of troggs, but also from the golems that patrolled the area around where the shengonwu used to reside). Our heroes accepted the offer.

Personal Notes: I thought that I could offer our heroes a break after their recent struggle inside the Eggmen's base while also shedding some light on the plot of the story. I also thought that I could turn that encounter with the laughter into some sort of irony. This mountain scenario seems to be an interesting setting for a smaller story that ties in with the current main plotline of this Neverending Story in my opinion. (Does the storyline of this Neverending Story sort of feel like a graphic novel to you guys like Megatokyo or Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog Comic series, or a tv show with an episodic format like Dragonball Z or many Gundam serieses?)

Sorry for the double post, but I was wanting to suggest a new option for members who want to play this game. Here's what I had in mind:

Say that the person that posted right before you (let's call him/her person A) made a part of the story that you thought, for example, ruined the whole fun in this story, or otherwise didn't go along with what you wanted to see in this story, you may attempt to continue from the poster before person A.

Other than that, does anybody else think that we ought to create a new Neverending Story game that continues where this one currently left off?

Unfortunately when they went to shake hands to officialise the accepting of the offer they realised they left the stupid Cupons for it at home, along with their Defeat 1 villian, defeat another one free ticket, and their Get out of Jail/Traps Free card. They ran down the street and hailed a cab....

After several cups of hot chocolate and many many Mightyena snacks. The tired adventurers sat down and watched some quality television. Feeling quite satisfied, the new group of combined heroes drifted off into a deep sleep.

The next morning, our heroes, Volt and Blaire, unexpectedly meet up with their friends Katt, Gladys, and Flame (an anthropomorphic Skitty, Glaceon, and Growlithe respectively), who had just recently stumbled upon the encampment during their travels. After a small amount of chitchat, the new team prepared to take on what challenges lied ahead of them, without the support of those coupons, tickets, or cards that Mic_128 described. Fortunately for them, the expeditionary group came well equipped for the job at hand. The 1st thing that they did was that they deployed scouting drones to survey the temple that used to house the shengonwu, as well as the surrounding area, for any traps and hostiles within the area.

After surveying the area, they found out that somebody else had recently attempted to loot the temple, with the remains of various Eggman robots (a few intact with little-to-no damage in the deeper parts of the temple: their energy drained by Metroids), golems, and Metroids (deeper parts of the temple). Despite this, many golems and a few Metroids were spotted actively lurking throughout the temple. The drones also detected many various traps throughout the temple (nothing that would affect a wide area though), some having been triggered/disabled by Eggman's robots. Finally, a few puzzles were detected, though all of them seemed to use smaller traps like poisoned darts or remotely summoning nearby golems.

The golems themselves varied in terms of shape and abilities (some could fly while others could only walk, some relied on melee attacks, some could shoot projectiles, some had flamethrowers or lightning guns, etc.), but all of them that were scanned so far were each made up of various gears and pistons with a small mana reactor to power it and an internal rune to act as its "brain." Normally, a golem as lethal as the golems in the temple would need a far more powerful reactor, but the usage of machinery allowed them to function with significantly less power needed. Moreover, due to their lack of electronics or electric power plants of any kind, they were immune to electricity and electromagnetic pulses (lightning guns, however, could be disabled with electrical attacks). However, these same gears can be easily jammed by an object stuck inside, so these golems were armored to help prevent such a thing from happening, though it's not a fullproof safety measure and can be bypassed with the proper knowledge (their weakest points were their joints).

Unfortunately, the drones were unable to explore the entire temple due to interference caused by something deep within the temple, and were unable to completely identify many of the traps or puzzles. Most of these traps here were partially identified in terms of how they were triggered, but couldn't be identified in terms of what they did; a few, however, couldn't be identified in terms of either how they were triggered or what they did.

With this information at hand, Blaire, Volt, Fang, Chisel, Katt, Gladys, Flame, and a small team of Koopas, Goombas, Toads, and Yoshis prepared to depart inside the temple to discover the fate of the shengonwu. In order to deal with the Golems, they could either target their joints or lure them into some of the temple's own traps. With some reverse engineering and modifications made on any disabled golems, they may also be able to "reprogram" any of the golems for various purposes (such as assisting them in exploring the temple and later, studying their designs as part of their secondary efforts of discovering what the ancient civilization was like). They may also be able to gather some information on the intruders by hacking into Eggman's robots' systems (provided that they are still intact). As for the Metroids, Gladys, and a few others with the proper equipment, could freeze them with a blast of frost at point blank range, making their normally elastic bodies easily susceptible to being shattered, which would kill the Metroids. Finally, some anti-venom was brought along in case anybody was poisoned by any of the traps.

Personal Note: Man, this is long, but I do think that it provided a great deal of detail on what our heroes were expected to deal with in the near-future while only advancing the story only slightly. I also wanted to introduce a few new heroes into the story.

Using one of skittys whiskers, an old shoe they found in a bush, one of fangs teeth, a small piece of koopa shell, some of blaires nail polish, and a little bit of electricity from volt, while flame,katt, and chisel held everything in place, they were able to create what they called "The Dejointifier Beam Device". This fired a stream of highly concentrated dejointified molecules to "dejointify" the golems at their joints. Even though it only had a limited range of 7 yards, it was mighty handy when silently taking care of the first golem at the entrance of the temple.


After performing a slight operation on the dismantled remains of the golem, the crew managed to make the head of the golem float around and say whatever they whispered into the microphone. This was done by simply putting a jetpack on the head and attaching a speaker to it. Uses of this new "device" were still unknown, but for now it was highly entertaining.

They entered the temple and decided to follow the trail of Eggman robot pieces littering the temple corridors. Everything was proceeding according to plan, with only minor injuries (including some cuts and bruises, and some cases of having been drained of their life force a bit by the Metroids) and no casualties among the group, though they did take down a number of golems and a few Metroids along the way. However, they did have to tread slowly and carefully and stay close together in order to minimize any damage to the group.

Along the way, they managed to hack into the video logs that were recorded by Eggman's wrecked robots. Pieceing together the evidence, they were at least able to determine that Dr. Eggman was sent by some other person (presumably his "boss," which he also seems to find somewhat difficult to work with) to recover the shengonwu from that temple. This other person seemed to have had known about what the shengonwu could do and where it was located. Now that our heroes knew why there were 3 Eggmen on the loose instead of just 1, they now focused on where they transported the shengonwu.

The video logs had also taped various transmissions between the robots as they went about their mission. Apparently, the Eggman robots had detected various Alpha, Gamma, and Zeta Metroids, along with some more powerful golems, some security turrets, and some more advanced traps and puzzles, as they went deeper into the temple than what our heroes had already charted. The robots had even spotted a few isolated Omega Metroids in the deepest parts of the temple, with them being able to slay only one such beast, but with a good deal of robots lost in the process. Fortunately for our heroes, they already knew how to deal with all of these more advanced Metroid stages: with ice-based attacks (at their bellies when dealing with Zeta and Omega Metroids), followed by ballistic attacks, being the most effective means of dispatching any of them.

Finally, the video logs mentioned the presense of a gigantic sentinel that acted as the shengonwu's guardian. While the robots were unable to destroy it, they did manage to steal the shengonwu that it was guarding using a teleportation portal that they brought along with them. Unfortunately, the static interference that was being generated by the sentinel kept the robots from receiving any information on "where" the shengonwu was being teleported to, so our heroes only hope was to recover any evidence of the shengonwu's location from within the deepest parts of the temple.

With this information at hand, our heroes needed another day to prepare for the challenges ahead. Due to the interference caused by the sentinel at the center of the temple, they needed to set up a communications riding system within the temple in order to maintain communications with their encampment. Luckily, whatever wandering golems and Metroids were left didn't seem to care at all about the presense of the communications riding system. After the communications riding system was in place, some more scouting drones were deployed deeper within the temple, marking more traps along the way, all while their communications were not being cut off by the sentinel's interference. However, they weren't able to explore the central chamber where the sentinel was due to a reactivated puzzle that required pieces scattered throughout the temple.

In short, tomorrow was going to be a much more difficult day.

The next day, Elmo and his gang of conquistadors set fire to the ozone layer. Little did Elmo know, in his gang were two traitors and their names were Cheech and Chong. Those two mexicans had connections with Dog the Bounty Hunter. This could get messy.
