~A Title Formerly Known As The Video Game Discussion Regulars Fanfic. Say What?~


Chapter One: Prologue

Hello, my name is Genny. You can call me, well, Genny, because I probably won't let you call me by any other name. My weight, height, hair color, eye color, and sex are all classified. I also won't tell you my last name for fear that someone might find out. And if someone got hold of my last name, that would be the end of me and possibly all my friends that I've met on my journey. For you see, I know a crucial government secret and if the government found out that I knew about their secret, you could consider me dead.

Even as I am speaking to you, the government is after me. They've implied a new top secret weapon they plan to use on the next planet they crush. Now that I think about it, I shouldn't be talking to you. You could very well be an agent working for them and I could be telling you everything. I have to take that chance because someone must know the truth about...everything that's been going on. I have to trust you with my life, ok? So don't go around talking about this. It all began in...

Chapter Two: Home Alone

...a magical land called Dairyland. No offense to the founders, but our land is hardly magical. No, wait, that's a lie. We used to have magical land, then some jerkoffs had to start a war with us and steal all of our magic that we had. They called themselves the Rockets. And if you must know, they liked rockets. A lot. In fact, they owned so many rockets that they could've easily built a rocket, flew into space, bomb some other poor saps on a different world, and steal their magic that they had. But noooo, they had to take our magic, which by the way, half the time it doesn't even work. Lame. Then they also went and shot our prime minister til he, and I quote from one of the head Rockets, "does stop his frigglin'." Lame. Yes, they said frigglin', which I don't think is even a word. Yet no one cares when they make up words. People live with it, give the Rockets money, hope they don't die, and eventually die anyways from the hands of the Rockets. So to sum up, the Rockets kinda suck and make ours live completely miserable.

But this is all in the past, at least most of it was. As for current events, we still live under the rule of the Rockets and their dictatorship. The Rocket dictator calls himself a prime minister so he doesn't seem like a bad guy. It supposed to influence the young ones or something, I can't remember the speech he gave us. It was boring; my parents even feel asleep at it. But that was a couple years ago, back when I was still in 2-School. Fast-foward a couple of months ago, and you'll see me in 3-School, only one year until I graduate. Hell yeah! The only bad thing is I have to serve the mandatory year of military service. It only limits me from actually living my life, seeing as killing some random dude from across the border is not something I would ever want to do. Goddamn dictatorship. One of these days, man. One of these days...

Ok, let's keep on fast-fowarding. Here I am on the last day of school of my second-to-last year. One more year left for me and my fellow class.

*BBBRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG*

"Yeeaaaaahhh! Finally, it's Summer! No more school in ******** weeks!"

Wow, it was nice to shout that out loud. I'd throw my books in the air like last year, but I nailed some kid right in the face. It was pretty rad. Too bad for the kid though. Good, no one took my spot in front of the lightpost. I love that spot. Every day after school my friends and I would gather there and talk about random stuff. Girls, boobs, boobs on girls, lame jokes, school events, normal random stuff like that. It's awesome because we always are the last people to leave the campus, and we usually leave because the faculty runs us off for God knows what. They must have some secret meeting that happens only when the students are gone. It's really weird because they close off the entire campus area as well. I've always wondered what happens at those meetings or whatever they are, though I never did put much thought into those wonderings. Well, nevermind about that, I gotta catch up with this conversation some of my friends are having right now.

"Dude, did you guys see Kristy Fredora today? Man she was so ******** hot. Actually, now that I think about it, she's ******** hot every day. She's like a hourglass, yo."

"What does that mean?"

"I'm Batman.

"Brent, you're an idiot, shut up. Ok, so what does the hourglass metaphor mean?"

"Dude, it means she's ******** hot! Every girl wants to be an hourglass, it's like their goal in life."

"...what the hell are you talking about, Todd? Goal in life? You're retarded."

"Just playing, man, just playing. It means wide up top, slim in the hips, and wide down below. Like a hourglass."

"So you're saying you like fat chicks?"

"Dude, no way! Think round and nicely shaped. Like an hourglass."

"Whatever."

"ZOOM!"

"Brent, shup up."


The conversation continued for another ten minutes or so before we got the regular boot from the staff. So I said bye to Todd and Brent and the rest of the crew and headed home. I only live four blocks away so I just walk both ways. Sometimes I get a ride from Todd, he's the only one of us with a car and a paying job. Some of my other friends have one or the other. I have neither.

The four blocks are easy to walk, no slopes or busy roads to cross. It's just a straight-on shot from school to my house. I can already see it now. The outside walls of the house really jump out at you. The color of the house is all green, save for the red roof. It's a pretty normal-sized house. It's got rectangles everywhere except for the roof. The roof is the traditional triangle with a small opening for a chimney. No porch, two fences, and a couple windows on each of the two floors. It's not much, but it's home to my parents and I. It's nice being an only child.

As I walked closer to the place I call home, I could feel this tingling feeling around me. I honestly thought it was my Spidey-Sense finally kicking in, and then I realized just how wrong, or right, I was.

Something's not right here; the hinges on the front door are cracked away from their places. Holy ********, one of the windows is completely gone too!

I tried opening the door. Instead it just fell over on the carpet inside. I was nervous. Who was inside my house? What was inside my house? But most importantly, were they still inside waiting for me?

I turned the corner into the kitchen and the shiny tile that we just had put in. It was the first time I saw the kitchen all clean and completed. Hmm? There was a message in the answering machine. I shouldn't, what if the maniac was still in the house somewhere. He could hear the tape. I don't want to risk it. s**t! I already pressed the Playback button. s**t, gotta hide somewhere! But I can't! My body can't, or won't move. Oh man, I was zoning out waiting for this stupid message to play. Play already, goddamn you! Ok good, here it comes, here it comes.

"Krrrrz...Yes, Mrs. Saninson? This is...buzzzt..Police Department. We got your...zzzzt...We are sending...zzzzrt...They are on their way."

Stupid skipping tape, can't record anything. While I was fidgeting with getting my hands on that tape to throw it across the room, I remembered something. My mom, she should be home right now. s**t, my mom! I hope she's alright. I gotta find her.

I started running around the house, screaming out to her, praying that she was alright. ********, she's not down here, she must be upstairs! I skipped half the steps and ran to my parents' room first. And in that room was a sight that would be forever burned into my brain. My mother, and my father, murdered.

Chapter Nine: omfgnarawerehavuben??


I looked up and saw the most beautiful brown eyes that I've ever had the chance of seeing. It took a few moments for her to register into my brain for some odd reason. I knew who she was, but it was so surreal that she could be here in this huge palace. She was obviously taller than me and had long, brown hair bunched up into a ponytail. Her wardrobe changed into a red hooded robe that went all the way down to her feet. I noticed her shoes were replaced by open-toed sandals too. Her look was almost Nun-like, except with a few different details. She had to be a palace worker; no one in their right mind would walk around a city this size in just a robe and sandals, especially at night. Her shoulder also had some medical bandages on it, obviously from a result of a battle not too long ago I presume. Finally, my brain processed all this information on this person in front of me and common human emotions took the last lap of a the race, and I stood up and gave her a good long hug.

I had found Nara in the most unusually way, by running into her. There was so much relief in me that I didn't know where to put it. I was a bit sad when Nara didn't feel quite as happy as I was into reuniting. Her expression was along the lines of complete surprise and uneasiness, like the feeling of not being invited to a party but your friends have and you show up to it anyway. Yeah, that kind. It was an awkward moment moreso for her than me. Here I am, just barely making it on this planet. And then you have Nara, who looks like she has been a helper of the Queen for her whole life. I thought about that for a little bit. Maybe she has been a servent all her life. But then didn't she say she had some training when she was younger? Argh, this didn't make any sense. And before we could really chat about anything, the three men who had been chasing me all this time just turned the corner into the hallway where we were. They all halted to the commands of the leader, and I could sense a showdown was gonna happen soon. I turned my body to face them and all five of us entered in an ultimate staring contest. Game face turn on!

I could almost sense the energy that was coming out of our bodies as all of us stood there ready for whatever the other person might do. It was football season in the palace, and we were all waiting for the snap. Past the three men in front of me I saw palace workers turning around the corner then stopping in their routes. Some of them stood there as well, waiting for the battle to happen. Others knew what was going on and quickly hurried back the way they came from, sometimes screaming. It was only a matter of time until something happened, and it did. One of the guys in suits slightly turned his head to the side with that look of confusion on his face. I turned my eyes to Nara and also became confused. She rolled up her right sleeve and a yellow bracelet came into view. Her index finger on her left hand moved over to press some kind of button on the bracelet. I'm not sure, I couldn't see much. Though, after she took her finger away, the little bracelet was flashing a small red light about one flash for every second that went by. I thought to myself, "This can't be good."

CCRRRRRAAAAASSSSSSSSSHHHHHHH

Augh, the ceiling was collasping on us! s**t! I shielded myself from the falling debris and eventually had to kneel down to avoid them. Nara didn't kneel down, and I couldn't tell if she even tried to avoid the falling stone. The men in suits were putting their arms up to deflect them. Ugh, can't breathe now, too much debris in this hallway. Nara had to help me up again and soon enough my sight was clearing up. Ahh! The guys in suits were right next to us now! No, that can't be right. These guys were different. They've must've appeared either through breaking the ceiling or having it collaspe as a diversion. There was four of them though. Each one of them was holding a pretty vicious rifle and pointing them at my three pursuers. Military guards! Sweet! Damn glad they're here; perfect timing Nara.

My hunters now became the hunted as they all fled in the opposite direction of the guards with guns. The guards gave chase and I chuckled to myself, though I bet Nara overheard it as she chuckled as well. We walked down the hallway behind us and turned left into another corridor. We started a conversation up, and we talked about we happened after we split up. I told her my adventure so far and how I met up with a few new friends. I then asked her what happened to her. Nara explained that she got tossed out of the portal in the Queen's Chamber during her tea time. At first the queen thought she was an assassin and ordered her maids around her to call the guards. That was before she noticed that Nara wasn't moving. The queen called for the rescue team to come in and bring Nara into the Health and Sickness Facility that apparently was a seperate building attached to the palace on the east wing. It took her a few hours before she finally woke up, but when she did, she totally freaked out the nurses around her at the time. Then in the morning, Queen Elza approached her and gave her the treatment of flowing Q's. In other words, a flurry of questions. However, the last question was out of the blue Nara said. The queen asked Nara if she wanted to work for her and become one of her servants. Nara told me it took her completely by surprise. She then became fully aware of her predicament. Here she was all alone on this different planet, knows no one, has no idea how long it'll take before she gets to her home, wherever that may be. Nara had no choice, she had to accept. So she did, and she was fully introduced to the Queen of this land.

Nara and I casually walked down a hallway and made a right turn into an even bigger hallway. It must've been around thirty feet high from the tallest point. The ceiling though gradually curved downward as we continued along it. Staring at the paintings on the walls, I asked Nara which corridor we were going down. She told me we were heading into the Throne Room. Wait what? I quickly turned my head to face hers and she just nodded. Oh man, I'm gonna see the queen! Ohmigosh my clothes are all tacky and full of debris. She would never accept what I'm wearing right now. Wah, panic attack! Good thing Nara was there to put her hand on my shoulder to settle me down. Man, if she wasn't there, I'd be standing in front of that door until the day ended just adjusting my clothes. It would've been pretty bad on my part.

We made it to the door finally, and Nara pushed it open.

Chapter Ten: Dinner With the Queen


I was in the middle of trying to comb my hair with that one "slightly-lick-your-hand-and-try-to-get-the-hair-pushed-back technique" when the door was pushed open. Again, I heard no squeaking, which was cool. The room was enormously spacey; there was just so much open areas in this one room. Under our feet was a velvet carpet that led all the way to the two thrones where the king and queen sat, even though this world didn't have a king persay. The chair on the left was empty, but the chair on the right had the queen, Queen Elza, the second most powerful person on the planet. She had that signature crown utop her head, and a white robe that everyone would recognize whenever they would see it. The dress she wore was a combination of red and orange and shimmered each time she moved. Her hair was a fabulous tint of blue that created this almost mystical aura around her. And would you look at that, another foreign female that was taller than me. Sheesh, am I that short around here? Anyway, she stood up from her throne and called her servants around her back so she could speak with us on a more personal level. I hope Nara does all the talking.

"Greetings to both of you."

*bows* "Greetings, your highness...(psst, Genny, bow!)"

"Oh uhh...right!" *bows*

"What brings you two to my humble palace today?"

"Your highness, it's a long story so I'll sum up everything I know. I was told to rescue Genny here from being murdered only a few days ago on his home planet, Dairyland. There is a secret he doesn't know yet about his parents and it involved his planet's corrupt government. We then fled to his school from special government agents, but something very strange happened there. We were attacked by dinosaurs and only escaped through what seemed to be a portal to another part of the universe. I, as you already know, got transported to this palace and Genny..."

"Genny got transported to some stupid jungle outside the city. I would've died if it wasn't for K. Wolf and John. They saved my life!"

"I see, so you are Genny."

"Yes, your majesty."

"I would assume you would do everything in your power to get home, now would you?"

"Yes."

"I see. There is a way for you to reach your home planet, but it would be a very long and tiring mission to get there. You see, I do not hold control over this land; that power belongs to someone else. However, that someone else would be your only chance to get back home. By the way, everything I am saying to Genny also can apply to you Nara."

"I understand."

"Well, who is this guy and where can I find him."

"His name is Glen, and he lives utop in the Palace of the Clouds. Perhaps you have heard of him?"

"That guy? Yeah, I've heard some stuff about him."

"Very good. To reach him, you must first climb to the summit of Damp's Peak. Once there, you will know what to do to find Glen. However, this trip will take a few days, maybe even a week to accomplish. For this reason, I am entrusting two of my closest advisers at your whim. The first being an army general who goes by the name of Knightfire. He is skilled in hand-to-hand combat as well as being an excellent tactician. The second is a marksman who is simply known as "Cel." In the last battle that he has been in, he has killed an estimated 2,000 enemies. They will accompagny you on this new journey. Be not afraid of what you may see Genny. I will have my servants give you some supplies and give you the opportunity to meet my advisers. Now go, Genny. Go and set forth on your adventure back home."

"K, thanks."

"Nara, stay here for a little while. I may need you for something."

"Yes, my queen."

I bowed to the queen and headed out the door. So I was off on my new journey, except this time I was going home! A tear came out of my eye as I remembered my home was not the home I wanted anymore. Mom...Dad...I miss you guys...

This is dope so far

Pretty good. Its serious, yet funny.

lol, my bad

Well, let's just say that it's not a direct connection between the regulars and the story.

LIEK FOMG PICS POST SOON???

Compliments? oic. To me, it's just a story. I get an idea, start typing off of that, and the words just flow like butta'

Sorry about not getting chapter 5 up earlier today. Last night of work was my second worst since I started at my job. I also did have to work this morning as well.

I hope you guys don't mind, but I decided to cut this chapter in half due to my work and other personal events that recently occurred to me. So pretty much an awful yesterday and a terrible today to sum it up.

I'll work on ch. 6 tomorrow and post it on Monday. Every other day, every other day...

NEDM ftw!

Back in school and that means less time for the story. Less time for the story means updates will be coming in less frequently.

Bear with me here please.
