Arcadium is an SSE inspired silent story that will feature classic video game characters from the Atari and NES eras. None of these are first-party characters, expect some oddballs. Also, in some situations (for instance, where a boss fight would be) I'll ask you guys who you want to fight the boss.
-----------------------------------------------
This day is a dark day in this land. Though the sky is beautifully colored in bright blue with fluffy clouds floating blissfully through the air, the ground below is becoming wartorn. In a forest currently untouched by the battles around it, we find the first of our heroes...
The great hero Pacman smiled cheerfully as he walked through the forest. Beams of sunshine burst from between the forest trees and their many leaves. The yellow sphere of a man stopped by some blue-colored flowers, which he admired happily. He stooped down and hovered his long nose over the flowers, sniffing and taking in the warm sent. Like a delicious jam. Suddenly a round shadow was cast over the flowers and the hero of Pacland. Pacman looked up, and quickly jumped backwards a few feet in astoundment. He readied himself for a fight, unaware of what the odd red creature before him was. The red creature was round but very large and had only yellow legs and feet as limbs. No mouth or nose, but eyes behind yellow-framed goggles, the creature appeared to be a walking tomato!
It's eyes narrowed as it focused on Pacman, and the creature made to charge. But before it could move at all, a metal harpoon blasted through the air and into the back of the red tomato creature. The creature began to inflate and bloat, it's eyes shut from what Pacman could only assume was immense pain. Suddenly the red creature popped out of existance, completely vanished! The harpoon, which was attatched to a rope, was pulled back into the barrel of a large weapon. A red gun of sorts. Holding this weapon was a man in a white helmet and suit. The gun rested in the man's blue-gloved hands. Despite the blue visor over the man's eyes, Pacman could tell he was being studied.
Without warning, the man aimed the gun at Pacman. The yellow ball prepared for a fight, but was too slow and the harpoon the gun launched was already propelled through the air. Instead of puncturing the yellow body of our hero, however, it sailed past and stuck yet another red creature, another Pooka, which soon exploded as well. The harpoon again returned to it's spot in the man's gun. The trees rustled, leaves shook loose. From all around, Pooka's appeared, from the ground, from the trees, the bushes. Pacman, coming out of his shock, realized the white suited man, Taizo Hori, was an ally, not a threat. In a single leap, the sphere was standing by the gunman's side, as the Pooka surrounded them. Five in all.
WHO WILL FIGHT THE POOKA?!
Pacman: 0
Taizo Hori: 0
