//------------------------------// // The Adventure Begins // Story: Journey of the Heroes Part 1: Friendship is Magic // by MetaMaster54610 //------------------------------// All right, first story! It's just the start of a looooooooong series of stories, and I'm so excited! I'm a 14 year old writer, so I dont know exactly HOW good my work is. I'm happy with it personally, but I welcome constructive criticism. So, uh.... feel free to give me...some....um.....I'll just stop talking now. I redid the story and changed things around to a more popular series so maybe people would read it. But hey...you wouldn't know what I'm talking about. Nobody read my last attempt. "Hey, Joey! Earth to Joey! Hey, are you listening? It's your move!" Yugi said, trying to get Joey's attention. "Huh? Oh, sorry Yug. Doin this Brooklyn accent makes it difficult to concentrate on card games." Joey apologized. "I know what you mean. My voice is pretty crazy too. I'm thinking about changing it." Tristan said. "What would ya change it to?" Asked Joey. "I was thinking about going Irish." Tristan replied happily. Suddenly, everything went gray. Tristan and Joey looked around in confusion. "What the hell just happened guys?" Joey asked..but nobody answered. "Guys?" He said again. But it was almost as if time had stopped. Tristan waved his hands in front of his friends faces, poked Yugi in the eye and pulled down Bakura's pants. But nobody reacted. "Oh no! We're in the Twilight Zone! Now we're gonna get eaten by vampires!" Tristan shouted in terror. "If you mean THOSE vampires, Tristan, I really don't think we have anything to worry about." Joey said, not bothering to point out the differences between the two references. Suddenly, there was a flash of light and a strange figure appeared in front of him. Tristan and Joey backed away in fear and saw a strange creature floating there. It was dark blue, with a white top hat, a monocle that hid one of his red eyes, a mouth like a jack-o-lantern, a cane with a diamond at the end of it and a white cape. "Bleheheheheheheh. So you're two of the chosen heroes that is supposed to defeat me, Count Bleck!" The creature said. "COUNT Bleck?! Oh no! We really ARE gonna get eaten by vampires!" Tristan shouted. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-" "SHUT UP, TRISTAN!!!" Joey snapped. "Okay." Tristan said calmly. "If you truly are the one the prophecy spoke of, I must get rid of you. I, Count Bleck, will send you to another dimension from which you won't escape-" Count Bleck began. "Question!" Tristan interrupted. "Yes? Count Bleck said calmly." "Will there be cookies where you're sending us?" Tristan asked stupidly. Joey facepalmed and Count Bleck blinked in confusion, then smiled. "Yes. There will be lots of cookies. All you have to do is get in this portal created by Count Bleck." Count Bleck said. "Hooray! I'm getting cookies Come on, Joey!" Tristan shouted gleefully as he grabbed Joey's arm and started running toward the portal. "TRISTAN, WHAT THE HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!" Joey shouted as Tristan jumped into the portal, still holding his arm and dragging him in too. Count Bleck laughed evilly. "One down,two to go, said Count Bleck." __________________________________________________________________________________ Krillin yawned as he got out of his bed. He tried to step onto the floor. Unfortunately, he didn't notice the toy car that was right next to his bed. He stepped on it and was sent skidding across the room. "WHY DO I EVEN HAVE THIS THING?!!!" Krillin shouted as the toy carried him to the stairs. Krillin then proceeded to fall down eighty flights of stairs. "Damn it..." Krillin muttered when he reached the bottom. Krillin Owned Count: 1 Krillin got to his feet. "Why do I have so many stairs?" He muttered to himself. He shook his head and went to the kitchen to have breakfast. He grabbed the Corn Flakes from off the shelf and poured it in a bowl. Then he grabbed a jug of milk, which was actually not a jug of milk, but a bottle of his own...um....reproductive sample that he was supposed to send to the doctor. He poured the substance into his cereal, took a spoonful in his mouth and swallowed. "Hm...the milk tastes kinda different." He said to himself. Then he turned to look at the bottle. His eyes widened and he groaned in disgust. Krillin Owned Count: 2 Suddenly, everything turned gray. Krillin looked around. "What the hell?" He said in confusion. He looked out the window and saw that everything was frozen in time. "What's going on here?!" He shouted. Then he shielded his eyes as a bright flash of light appeared in his kitchen. He opened his eyes to see a large muscular man with a brown mustache. "Oi! You! Squirt!" The man said. "I've been sent to take care of yeh by the Count!" "Wait a minute! Who the hell are you, and how did you get in my kitchen?!" Krillin demanded. The man pointed at Krillin. "Name's O''Chunks." He grabbed Krillin's legs and started spinning him around. "Now to send yeh to that place the Count wanted yeh in." He said as a big green portal appeared behind him. Then he let go, sending Krillin flying into the portal. "NOOOOOOOOOO! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! YOU STILL DIDN'T TELL ME HOW YOU GOT IN MY KITCHEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!!!!" Krillin shouted as he was sucked into the portal. __________________________________________________________________________________ "So, Achmed, what nationality are you?" Jeff Dunham asked his puppet. Achmed looked up at Jeff with an almost annoyed expression on his face. "You make millions of dollars playing with dolls on stage and you can't hire someone to find out what freaking nationality I am?" Achmed said in annoyance. The audience laughed and Achmed continued. "Look at my ass, it says made in China!" The audience roared with laughter. Suddenly, a voice came from the stage. "Hahaha. Marvelous. Truly a wonderful performance from everybody's favorite doll lover." Jeff turned around, and made Achmed do the same. They looked up at a strange jester-like figure. He was wearing a black and white mask [at least Jeff thought it was a mask], a frilly purple and yellow costume and black pants and gloves. He was floating there, smiling down at the duo. "Hey! Who the hell do you think you are?!" Jeff made Achmed say. "How dare you interrupt my show?! When my comrades finally show up, you're the first to die!" "Hmhmhm. Most amusing, O bony one. Like two kittens engaging in combat. I imagine it would be quite amusing, also, to see everybody's reaction to you talking and moving on your own." He snapped his fingers, causing a bright light to surround Achmed. Once everyone could see again, they gaped at the sight of Achmed moving all on his own. "Hey! I can move! I'm a real boy!" Achmed shouted joyfully. "Oh wait, I'm a skeleton..." He looked up at the jester. "Who the hell are you, anyway?" "Ahh, I am Dimentio! Charming magician! Pleaser of crowds! And you, my towel-wearing friend..." He paused as he grinned down at Achmed grabbing his turban in embarrassment. "Are interfering with our plans." "What?! How the hell can I interfere with your plans if I just came to life not five minutes ago?! And if I'm such a threat, which I am because I am very frightening, why would you bring me to life in the first place?!" Achmed shouted in confusion. Dimentio wagged his finger. "All in good time, my little dead friend. But for the time being, I'm going to have a wonderful time playing with you and the others my comrades rounded up." Dimentio said. "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" The troll guy from SMOSH shouted from the audience. Dimentio nonchalantly snapped his fingers and the guy exploded very graphically. The guys head rolled next to the stage. "FAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!" The head shouted. Dimentio calmly threw the head out the window with a levitation spell. "THIS IS SOOO FAKE! YOU SUCK AT SPECIAL EFFE-" and then he got chopped up by a jet turbine. There was a moment of silence. "I STILL THINK IT"S FAKE!" "Hey! I was going to do that! You stole my job!" Achmed shouted angrily. "Oh, you'll get your chance." Dimentio said as he snapped his fingers. "Ciao!" He said as he disappeared. "What the hell just happ-WHOA!" Achmed shouted in surprise as he felt some kind of force pulling him. He looked back and saw a large green portal sucking him in. Achmed struggled, but he couldn't get away. "If I don't make it, tell my son that I blew up his kitten and I'm not sorry!!!! How the hell do I even HAVE these memories?!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" And Achmed was sucked into the portal. Jeff scratched his head and said "I gotta lay off the drugs." "I KNEW IT!" Peanut shouted from the suitcase. __________________________________________________________________________________ Bowser sat back in his throne and relaxed. His castle was finally completely repaired after that whole Fawful incident, and he was finally able to sit back and relax. He was about to fall asleep, but he was immediately woken up in a rage by a familiar voice. "I have chortles!" The voice said. Bowser glared viciously at the two figures standing in front of his throne. One of them was a teenage human, with dark skin and long white hair. He was wearing a midriff bearing t-shirt, and black jeans. He was also wearing rings around his neck and body. But the sight of the other figure is what made Bowser absolutely SEETHE with rage. It was an anthropomorphic bean like creature with crazy glasses and a red cloak, flying around on a jet propelled hovercraft. "Fawful!" Bowser shouted. "How did you get in my castle?! How are you alive?! And who's that clown you brought with you?!" "I'm not a clown, jackass!" The human shouted. "I am Marik Ishtar! I am most undeniably evil! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" "Yes, Bowser. I have come bearing an offering." Fawful said. "Oh no! I am NOT falling for that again! Get out before I pound you again!" Bowser said as he menacingly approached Fawful. He threw a punch...which Fawful easily avoided. Bowser repeatedly tried to punch Fawful, but to no avail. Finally, Fawful reached into his pocket and pulled out a special spray. Bowser got one whiff of the spray and fainted instantly. Fawful chortled and Marik laughed and pointed. "Haha! He fell on his back! Now he can't get up!" Marik laughed. Fawful pulled out a machine and pressed the button. Bowser didn't even feel it as he was sucked into the portal. The two stood there triumphantly. But then their expressions changed when they came to a realization. "Oh crap!" Marik shouted. "We sent him to the wrong place! Son of a bitch! Now the Count is going to take away my leather pants for a whole week!" "Thinking....is something I did not do. I have nervousness." Fawful said. "Why are we working for the count, anyway? Aren't we trying to conquer our worlds?" Marik asked. "We are providing relief of the comic variety." Fawful said. "Questioning it is stupid." "YOU'RE STUPID!" Marik snapped. The two started sissy fighting. __________________________________________________________________________________ "eeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEE!" Tristan finally stopped saying whee as he and Joey landed facefirst on solid ground. They calmly stood up and looked around. Joey noticed they were in a forest. An extremely scary looking forest. The trees loomed over them, and it was pitch black. There were all kinds of horrific growling sounds, and the sounds of creatures being eaten. There was a bear that was quite possibly even bigger than Godzilla walking around in the background, pausing to uproot a tree and eat it whole. And there were bones. Bones everywhere. But while Joey was looking around in sheer terror, trembling in his shoes, Tristan wasn't focusing on ANY of that. He was looking at the most horrific, terrifying, mind numbingly scary creation ever made right at his feet. "Oh my God..." Tristan said. Then, he picked up the ungodly abomination. It was.....a plate of cookies. "THESE ARE OATMEAL!!!!!!" Tristan shouted in anguish. "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" Joey turned to look at Tristan with a deadpan look in his eyes. "Tristan, you're an idiot." Joey said. "Oatmeal cookies are aweso-Wait, are those raisins?" Tristan nodded nervously. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Joey screamed. Soon, the two of them were screaming no at the sky. After about 5 hours, another portal opened above the forest. Krillin was spilled into the forest, hitting the branches of about 9 trees. He landed headfirst on the ground and moaned in pain. Krillin Owned Count: 3 Krillin slowly got to his feet. He shook his head and looked around. He noticed Joey and Tristan. "Hey, you two!" He said. He already had their full attention. "Where the hell are we?" "We're in a land full of ponies, griffins and dragons!" Tristan shouted stupidly. Joey and Krillin looked at him with deadpan expressions. "Not a clue." Joey said with a shrug. "But I want outta this creepy forest before we get eaten by one of them giant bears." "What giant be-" Krillin started, only to get stepped on by the same bear that had passed by earlier. The bear looked annoyed at the fact that it stepped in something and scraped its foot across the ground. Krillin was screaming like a little girl. The bear finally got fed up and held its foot in its hand. It picked off an extremely dirty Krillin and threw him to the ground, where he landed facefirst in a mud puddle. Then it walked away. "Those giant bears." Joey answered. Krillin groaned. Krillin Owned Count: 4 Suddenly, a third portal opened up in the air. Achmed screamed as he was spilled out. Luckily for him, he landed safely right on top of Krillin. "Holy crap! What the hell was that?" Achmed shouted. "And why did I land on a Hobbit?" He gasped. "I'm in Lord of the Rings! Yaaaay!" "No you're not. There ain't no giant bears in Lord of the Rings." Joey said. "There aren't?" Tristan asked, genuinely shocked. Everybody stared at him. "So who the hell are you people?" Achmed asked as he got off of Krillin and onto safe ground. "I'm Joey, and this idiot here is Tristan." Joey answered. "And I'm Krillin!" Krillin said after he spat the mud out of his mouth. "Who are you?" "I...am Achmed. I am a terrorist. A very efficient terrorist." "Wait, I saw you in the news. Didn't you blow yourself up answering your cell phone while getting gas?" Krillin asked. ".....Noooo......" Achmed said, looking away in shame. He then muttered "Damn it" quietly enough so nobody could hear. "So now that we all know each other, I say we get the hell out of this forest!" Krillin said nervously. "Yeah, how hard can it be?" Joey asked. 2 hours later.... The group of four were dragging themselves across the forest floor, panting heavily, sweating and covered in cuts, bruises and wounds. Except Achmed, he just had to lost a leg to Tristan and was currently dragging himself across the ground in an attempt to get to him. Suddenly, they saw something that thrilled them all so much that Tristan, Krillin and Joey's injuries miraculously disappeared and they got up and ran toward the town, Tristan dropping Achmed's leg in the process. Achmed angrily put his leg back on and ran after the others. They looked around. The town was very quiet. They walked for a few minutes and were about to give up hope. Finally, they heard a voice. "Excuse me!" They turned around and were shocked to see a purple unicorn standing there, looking at them. They stared at her for a few seconds and she stared back. Her eyes were brimming with curiousity, and she was smiling, possibly excited to see a new species. They were so surprised by this pony that they almost didn't notice the small purple dragon standing next to her. The pony finally decided to break the ice. She did so by saying "What are you?" Joey, Krillin and Achmed exchanged glances while Tristan still stared, this time with a look of utter glee on his face. This was gonna be a weird day...
