Captain N: Re-Edited Episode 1: Kevin In Videoland

It was a dark day in Videoland. For seven years, Mother Brain's minions have laid siege on the Universe. And now they set their sights on The Palace of Power.
 
Through the monitor in Mother Brain's lair on Metroid, her brain-shaped base, one could see the golden Palace of Power surrounded by evil troops, many on the ground and some flying around. The troops were all from Metroid, Mother Brain's home base.

Mother Brain's two principal lackeys were watching the troops' actions through the monitor. They were King Hippo, a blue, yellow-eyed obese boxer wearing only brown pants, yellow shoes, orange boxing gloves, and a silly crown, and Eggplant Wizard, a fat, one-eyed, purple-colored, eggplant-shaped being with a short green stem on his head and a red cape.

King Hippo: (grinning,to Eggplant Wizard) Ha, ha! We're too strong for 'em! 

Eggplant Wizard smiled at his comrade, but then looked surprised as he turned around to look behind himself. Their leader, Mother Brain, was stretching her tentacle out to King Hippo's right foot. The less said about her appearance the better. Her pinkish gray brain was oversized and sealed in a bottle filled with necessary greenish fluid. Her yellow, evil eyes were set in her pink face, which had three holes between the eyes and the mouth; the largest hole, in the center, was where the nose should have been; the two other holes flanked it. Her mouth was quite human; the bottom of her face stretched to the bottom of her jar. The eyes were each connected by a tentacle to the brain, and her face was directly connected by two tentacles thereto. The cerebellum of her brain was connected to the spinal cord, which went down to the bottom of her jar and connected to circuitry in the bottom. On the top of her jar, on the left and on the right, were two passages for her two free tentacles so that she could grasp objects with her tentacles and fire electrical shots with them, for her powerful nervous system could control electricity with great ease. On the top of her jar, furthermore, were three metal objects that she could use to fire more electricity.

She wrapped her tentacle around one of King Hippo's short legs and lifted him to her.

King Hippo (surprised):  Yow!

Mother Brain: Who's too strong for them, King Hippo?

King Hippo (scared): "Uh, uh, uh, you! You're too strong for 'em, M-M-Mother Brain! 

Mother Brain smiled evilly at his appropriate response. Eggplant Wizard snickers under his breath.

MB: (slightly annoyed) What's so funny, Eggplant Wizard? 

Eggplant Wizard (looking around,innocently): Who, me?

King Hippo cried as Mother Brain began moving him. Eggplant Wizard stared upwards as Mother Brain positioned King Hippo over him; then she dropped the fat boxer onto Eggplant Wizard as he tried to run. Several vegetables popped out of the wizard as King Hippo fell on him. He pushed his head out from under and looked at Mother Brain.

Eggplant Wizard: N-n-nothing, Mother Brain,nothing at all. 

Smiling nastily, Mother Brain pulled her tentacle back into her jar.

MB: "That's right, especially for those poor souls in the Palace of Power! It won't be long before I, Powerful Monster that I am, become Queen of Videoland! Ha, ha, ha,..."

Her maniacal laugh could be heard through out the galaxy.
 
As Mother Brain plots the Palace's doom, the beautiful Princess Lana is filled with despair. The body of the Palace of Power was slender, stretching high into the sky; the top was surrounded by many pods. The bottom was anchored securely to the ground. The Throne room possessed lavender carpeting, the golden throne lined with lavender fabric, two enormous precious seashells flanking the ivory throne circle which was elevated above the rest of the floor, and golden walls and floor. Lana, the Princess Regent of Videoland, was sitting on the throne, facing Simon Belmont, Mega Man, and Pit Icarus, the bravest defenders of Videoland.


Pit Icarus was very short, red-haired, and blue-eyed, with white wings. he had a Roman-like white toga and sandals outfit, and he also had gloves. Mega Man was a short android with a green body, a dark visor that showed his eyes, and a face that was human in appearance. Simon Belmont was "tall, dark, and handsome". He had a blue coat, gloves, brown pants, brown boots, a brown backpack, and goggles, all one would need for adventuring. He kept a whip on one of his left belt-loops. His hair was blond, and his eyes were blue. He was annoying and self-centered much of the time

Princess Lana was very beautiful, with green eyes and quite lengthy brown hair with a small tail on top. A small golden crown, with a green emerald on her head. She wore gold earings and a neckband. Her dress was between red and pink with white shoulder covers. It was separated at the belly area. The bottom part covered little of her legs; it was slightly longer on her right leg.

She also wore long blue boots, with golden cuffs near the ankles. On each arm near the wrist was a pink-red bracelet, each with a golden band near the wrist, each golden band with an emerald in it.

Princess Lana was quite distressed at the moment.

Princess Lana: I'm afraid we can't hold out much longer. Pit Icarus, your loyalty has never diminished.

She pushed a tuft of hair from Pit Icarus' face.

Pit Icarus wiped away a tear.

Pit: Just doing my duty, Your Highness.

Princess Lana stood up, knelt down, and put her hands on Mega Man's shoulders. "

Lana: Mega Man, you fought bravely and well.

Mega Man smiled at her.

Mega Man: (bowing his head) A pleasure to serve you, Your Worship.

Princess Lana turned to Simon Belmont. "

Lana: And Simon, you've been our anchor in a long and terrible storm.

Simon:(with pride) I Know.

Lana: I thank you all for your efforts. I only wish it didn't have to end this way!

With sizzling electrical current, the lights dimmed and shone bright again. Lana gasped.

The voice of the Ancient Prophecy sounded throughout the room:

Voice: Do not give up hope yet, Princess.

A light shone, and Lana gasped again. All four went to the source of the light, the Power Glove, which was on a pedestal. It was from here that the voice was coming.

Voice: There are powers beyond those of which you are familiar. The Legend of Videoland foretells of a young warrior from another land who shall warp into our universe and lead you to victory.

Simon frowned and shook his head with disgust at the fact that there might be a hero superior to himself.

Voice: He is Captain N, the Game Enforcer." 

Thus far, Lana, Pit Icarus, and Mega Man had been listening with attention to the prophetic voice.

Voice: Behold, the Ultimate Warp Zone!.

The glove fired a bright energy onto the ceiling, turning the energy into a bright, blue warp.

Kevin Keene was a normal fifteen-year-old, with a strong sense of adventure and love for Video Games. He was rather tall and lean, though he did have a bit of strength. He was quite honest most of the time and, in most matters, well-behaved. His brown hair was a bit long, but not sloppily so. He also had blue eyes.

He wore a short-sleeved yellow shirt outside his blue jeans, and he had white-and-black sneakers. His jeans were too long for anyone to see his socks, normally. He had a jacket with white sleeves, a white collar, red cuffs, a red body, and a black N with a while outline on the left breast.

Kevin was in his messy room. His mother had told him to clean it up, but he had not. Instead, he was playing a game of Punch-Out!! He wasn't doing too well against King Hippo, either; he didn't know why he wasn't playing so well tonight. His dog, Duke, came to him with the Zapper in his mouth.

The dog was mostly light-brown with a dark-brown patch of fur on the left side of his face; his ears were floppy, and his tail was sort of medium-length. He was of medium size. He had a blue handkerchief over his collar. Amused, Kevin shook his head.

Suddenly, the screen on his television changed...from that of the boxing ring to the Throne room in the Palace of Power!

Kevin: (in great surprise) Whoa,what the!?

Suddenly, energy from the television reached out and grabbed for him. He jumped out of his chair and tried to hold on to the curtains in the back of his room, but to no avail. One of the bars ripped out of the wall, and he was pulled into his television set, through a warp to Videoland. His faithful dog, Duke, followed. Kevin screamed as he fell through the warp passage.
 The warp churned more brightly, and Simon, Kid Icarus, Mega Man, and Lana turned to it. Kevin and Duke emerged from the Ultimate Warp and landed on their bellies in front of Simon,Pit Icarus, and Mega Man.

Kevin: What? How did we get here?"

He looked up at the three people who were in front of him.

Kevin:(slightly confused) Simon Belmont? Pit Icarus? Mega Man?

As Kevin gets up.

Simon: (points at kevin mockingly) And you must be Captain N! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Duke got up.

Kevin rubbed his eyes and smiled.

Kevin: You guys aren't real! (He rubs Simon's nose with his right index finger) You're just computer bytes in my game cartridges.

Simon snapped his head around trying to bite Kevin's finger.

Kevin: (pulled back his finger) Whoa! They're real!

He shrugged and looked down at Duke, who lay back down and whined in a low voice with his forepaws on his head.

Simon: (arrogantly) Ha,Looks like the Ultimate Warp brought us the ultimate wimp!

Princess Lana had a worried look on her face. She was skeptical,very skeptical of this stranger,but she decided to go introduce herself anyway....and hope that he really Was the Savior of their Universe.

Lana: I'm Princess Lana.

Kevin turned to face her. His eyes widened involuntarily. He looked over her whole body.

Kevin: I'm in love. (smiles and blushes). I - I mean I'm Kevin.

Duke looked up at his human master and, with a noise of disapproval, shook his head.

Kevin: Where am I?

Lana:Why,you're in Videoland (points at the Ultimate Warp) The Ultimate Warp brought you here.

Kevin: (perplexed somewhat) Warp? Like the Warp Zones from Super Mario Bros.?

Lana: Something like that. The legend foretold of you coming to help restore peace to our world. That's why it gave you that Power Pad and Zapper. (points at them) they are great tools.

Kevin looked at his waist, and he now had a belt with the 'Power Pad' at the center and a holster for the Zapper on his right side. The Power Pad was in the shape of an original NES control pad, with the crosspad on the left and the two red buttons on the right. Across the top of the pad was a series of eight bright green lights that indicated the power level. They would darken to the left as the power in the Power Pad was used.

Kevin's perplexity was growing.

Kevin: Me restore peace to Videoland? Hey, I don't think you have the right guy (takes out the Zapper).And this is just a toy.

Carelessly, he pulled the trigger, knowing nothing would happen; but, to his surprise, a blue laser beam shot out and hit Simon. He was moving the thing upwards, so the beam went up and destroyed the chain holding one of the seashells. The seashell fell and almost hit Pit Icarus, who fell into Mega Man's arms; it smashed to pieces upon hitting the floor. Simon primped his hair and growled at Kevin.

Kevin: (stunned) This can't be happening!

Irate, Pit Icarus flew over to Kevin and grabbed him by the collar.

Pit: It sure is, Kevin! It's as real as real can be! (He releases Kevin) Ok?

Lana's demenor returns to despair.

Lana: if you cannot help us,Mother Brain will conquer all of Videoland, and our peace will be lost forever.

Kevin's common sense won out in this. He didn't see why he had to do anything for these people; so what if they were his favorite video game characters? They weren't real; he had probably just fallen asleep and was dreaming. Even if he was not dreaming, even if they were real, he still owed nothing to them. Little did he realize his importance in this kingdom.

Kevin: Sorry,but I'm no Superhero! I'm going home. (turned to the warp and motions for Duke to follow). Come on, Duke.

The warp disappeared just before he got to the wall, so he walked right smack into the wall and then fell on his back.
 
Kevin: Ugh!

Lana: (gasps) Oh!

Simon:  (laughs at kevin) Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! (puts his hand on Lana's back gently). There, there, don't worry, Princess. I'll save Videoland.

The Vampire Hunter smiled sweetly at the Princess, but this did little to console her. Lana closed her eyes and began to sob. She turned Simon away and ran to a lift platform. It lifted her to the floor where her room was.

Simon: Your Cuteness, wait!

The Hunter ran off to catch up with her.

Pit Icarus and Mega Man turned to Kevin, angry at him.

Pit: You were our only hope, but you let us down! (flys away) Ugh!

Mega Man: You get a low score for this game! 

Mega leaves to catch up with his friend, Pit Icarus.

Kevin just stood there thinking to himself.

Kevin: (thinking) Well, now how am I going to get home?
    
In her luxurious room, Lana sat in front of her mirror. She took the photo she had of her father, Charles, who was King of Videoland and had been the ruler until Mother Brain banished him away to some other land.

Lana: (sadly) Oh, Father, the legend has failed us. The one it brought is just not strong enough to meet the challenge. I've tried to lead our people since you disappeared, but I've failed you.

The evil Mother Brain and her lackeys were watching these events on the monitor in her lair on Metroid. Being broadcast via the camera inside her various micro spy bots.

Mother Brain: Mm, mm, mm! (turns from the screen to her two moronic servants) Isn't that too bad? The Ultimate Warp Zone has drained the Palace's power, giving me a perfect opportunity to strike a fatal blow at the heart of Videoland! Eh, heh, heh, heh!...Executing The Princess! 

Eggplant Wizard: I shall carry out your request,no error!"

The Wizard bowed ingratiatingly.

Mother Brain: Not you, Eggplant Wizard! King Hippo! 
 
 Eggplant Wizard got on floor and began a tantrum.

Eggplant Wizard: (whining) No fair! It's my turn! He got to do your last evil deed! 

Mother Brain: (takes EW by the neck with her right tentacle)  Let me tell you why.(squeezing his neck a little bit,shouting) Because you mussed up the last time, you incompetent vegetable!

Mother Brain tossed The Wizard across the room; he popped vegetables behind as he flew into the wall. She turned to King Hippo and addressed him more kindly.

Mother Brain: King Hippo, go to the Palace and punch out their defenses. Then, kidnap the Princess, and bring her to me! 

King Hippo: (backing his way out) Heh, heh! Don't worry, Your Disgustiness! I'll be back with that chick before you can give me a ten-count! Heh, heh!

Hippo backed into the wall. He turned and cautiously exited.

Mother Brain:(turned to Eggplant Wizard) And you, go with him, you brainless idiot! 

Eggplant Wizard get ups.

Eggplant Wizard: Yes, Your Brain-ness!

EW turned to the door and sped up after King Hippo, leaving vegetables behind.

Mother Brain turned to the monitor, which again showed her troops around the Palace of Power.

Mother Brain: Without the Princess to lead them, it won't be long before all of those video worlds fall under my control. Then, I'll be the invincible Queen of Videoland! Ha, ha, ha, ha! Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

In the Target Practice room of the Palace of Power, Pit Icarus flew over to Simon and Mega Man.

Pit: (with concern) Poor Princess! She was very upset!"

Mega Man was equally as concerned. He turned to Simon.

Mega Man: We must do something. 

Simon cracked his whip, the tip of which combed his hair for him. He got out his portable mirror and looked at himself quite egotistically.

Simon: Don't fret your little mega mind. There's only one person who can help the Princess, and I'm looking at him. (puts his whip away, twirls his mirror, and puts it away) Let's see; there should be a lift around here somewhere. (He locates the correct lift)  There it is!

Simon stood on the lift and it took him up to the floor with Lana's room.

In the Throne room, Kevin was sitting on the throne, talking to his dear pet.

Kevin: There's gotta be some way out of this crazy Universe. Come on, Duke. If that Princess got us into this mess, maybe she can get us out.

Kevin got up and went to find Princess Lana's room. Elsewhere in the Palace, Mother Brain's minions arrive in search of the Princess.
    
King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard arrived on a floor in the Palace of Power, which was, unfortunately, where the Princess' room was. King Hippo was smashing down walls to make their way through the Palace. The obese boxer arrived in a hall with many rooms; he turned and saw Simon approaching while whistling, then ducked back into the wall.

Eggplant Wizard: (stepping out blindly into the hallway) How do we know which door leads to the Princess?

King Hippo grabbed him by the cape and pulled him out of the hall. 

King Hippo watched from hiding as Simon walked by, whistling, his eyes closed, to Princess Lana's room.

King Hippo: Ha, ha! Simple! Simon will lead us to her. 

Simon walked straight to the door to Lana's room and knocked.

Simon: Princess! It's me - Simon Belmont,your Hero!"

He put his ear to the door.
Lana: Just a minute!

As Simon smiled to himself,King Hippo sneaked up behind him with a large bag and bagged the vampire hunter, then tied him up. King Hippo took Simon to a warp chute that led to another section of the Palace,all while Eggplant Wizard watched.

King Hippo: Ha, ha! This should warp him out of town for a while!

He forced Simon into a fetal position, tossed him into the chute, then rubbed his hands.

Eggplant Wizard smiled at what his comrade had done; the warp burped, and King Hippo thought it was Eggplant Wizard who had done so.

King Hippo: (bops Eggplant Wizard) Excuse yourself, you pig!

Eggplant Wizard: Hey!

The two ran back to the door to Lana's room and flanked it.

King Hippo: Shhh

Eggplant Wizard's eye narrowed so that he was making a venomous smile. The doors opened from the inside, and Lana emerged.

Lana: Okay, Simon. What do you -

The instant Lana discovered something was wrong, King Hippo grabbed her and silenced her by holding his gloves over her mouth. She struggled against his grasp, but to no avail. King Hippo dragged her back into her room, and Eggplant Wizard entered and closed the door to assist in packaging the Princess.

Seconds later, Kevin arrived and knocked on the door.

Kevin: Uh, Your - Your Highness? (He hears her humming from inside; he knocked again) It's me, Kevin. I need to talk to you! 

Within, King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard were wrapping Lana up in a heavy carpet.

King Hippo: (quietly) Quick, think of somethin'!

Eggplant Wizard: (quietly) But, I'm just an incompetent vegetable!"
 
Kevin's voice: Is everything all right in there? 

King Hippo: (falsetto) Er, uh. ..yuh, yes, yes, everything's just fine, thank you."

Kevin's Voice: Can I come in? 

Hippo: Uh, no. Go away! I'm not decent! Hoo, hoo, hoo!

Eggplant Wizard:(holding the Princess,quietly) You can say that again! 

Kevin was very suspicious. He definitely knew something was wrong. He drew his Zapper.

Kevin: Something funny's going on, Duke. (He vaporizes the door with the Zapper and runs into the room,where he sees King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard ready to take away the Princess) Princess Lana! Put her down! 

King Hippo: Heh, heh! Whatever you say!

King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard tossed the wrapped-up Princess at Kevin and knocked him onto his back.

Growling, Duke pulled at the shoestring on King Hippo's left shoe.

King Hippo Hey! Hey, get away, mutt! Get off -

Duke popped the shoestring; King Hippo's struggling caused him to fall back during a gasp and onto Eggplant Wizard, causing more vegetables to pop out of his companion!

Eggplant Wizard: Yo get off,blimpo!

Lana was still struggling.

Kevin: Hold on (he uncovered her face) It's me, Kevin!

Lana was relieved to see him.

Eggplant Wizard reached behind himself and pulled veggies out.

Lana: Kevin! Look out! 

Eggplant Wizard juggled the veggies, then tossed a lethal tomato at Kevin. Kevin pressed "Left" on his new Power Pad. He zipped to his right, and the tomato popped harmlessly onto the wall.

Kevin: Whoa! This Power Pad is too cool! 

Eggplant Wizard formed a banana pistol with holster and belt on himself near the 'waist.'

Eggplant Wizard: If you think you're so good, human, try to outdraw me! 
 
Kevin: Anytime you're ready!

He reached down to the Zapper, Eggplant Wizard down to the banana pistol. They watched each other closely. Kevin's eyes narrowed slowly, then Eggplant Wizard's quickly. Then, Eggplant Wizard quickly drew and shot Kevin with the banana pistol, whose projectile banana sealed Kevin inside a large banana peel! The villains dragged Lana away.

Lana: Kevin, help! 

Duke peeled the banana and freed Kevin, who popped out with his Zapper ready.

Kevin: All right! That's it! You guys are history! (He looks around. Eggplant Wizard, King Hippo, and Princess Lana were nowhere in sight) Lana! Oh, no. She's gone.

Kevin and Duke left the bedroom and looked down the hallway.

Kevin: Princess! Come on, Duke.


Kid Icarus and Mega Man were barricading a door from the outside so that Mother Brain's minions could not get in. Kevin and Duke arrived.

Kevin: Pit! Mega Man! we need to save the Princess! 

Pit Icarus: (gives Kevin the thumbs-up with his right hand) Don't worry,kevin! She's safe with Simon!"

Simon's scream can be heard approaching. A warp opened above the door and dumped the sack with Simon in it onto the floor. After hitting the floor with a loud thud, Simon popped his head out of the bag.

Kevin: Simon, the Princess has been kidnapped! If we don't find her, I may never be able to get back home!

Simon de-bagged himself.

Pit: We'll start searching immediately!

Simon grabs Pit.

 Pit: Not so fast! As the highest-ranking officer of Her Highness's court,...not to mention her dearest friend,...I shall give the orders. (puts his left foot on a box) Mega Man your just the stongman and You,Pit are just a scout.

Simon smiled, his eyes closed, as Mega Man very, very rapidly shined his boot. Soon, Simon smelled smoke and looked down at his boot, which was so hot it was red. Simon cried in pain. Holding his left foot, he leapt about the room in pain. Pit Icarus took his rain arrow and caused a shower over Simon. After being dampened, Simon was not amused. He stormed over to Pit Icarus and Mega Man, and he promptly started arguing with the two of them. He accused them of insubordination, while they both accused him of disrespecting them. 

Kevin: Hit the pause, guys! (On his Power Pad, he pressed the one of the two rectangular buttons that was closer to the crosspad, and this froze the three fighting N Team members) No wonder Videoland's losing the war! These guys are just fighting themselves. We've got to rescue the Princess(He hit the same button again and unfroze the three) Simon, get me a map of Videoland.

Simon walked over to Kevin and put his right hand on Kevin's left shoulder.

Simon: Simon Belmont takes orders from only one person - (points to himself) Simon Belmont. I'll lead us to the fair Princess, but first, I'll need a map.(He removed a metal cylinder from his backpack; the cylinder grew into a map on legs) Hm. Whoever abducted the Princess is obviously taking her back to Mother Brain on Metroid. (He pointed to a loop on the right side of the map, near a blue circle labeled 'M') There's a warp right here that'll take us directly to her. 

Kevin: I don't think so.
  
Simon: I beg your pardon? 

Kevin: Look, Metroid and Kid Icarus are 'sister' titles"(indicates a loop on the left side of the map, near a yellow circle labeled 'I') So,this is likely the warp to Metroid. 

Simon: (arogantly) Wrong, warp brain; it's this one.(pointing to the loop he had been indicating). Ha!  
Kevin: No Way.

Simon: (smiling smugly)  Tell you what! I'll flip you for it. (removes a coin from his pocket) Heads we go my way, tails we go yours. (flippes the coin. It spun in the air and landed on the floor, with Simon's conceited face smiling upwards under the words 'MY HERO')  Heads! You lose! Ha, ha, ha!"

Simon laughed as he, Mega Man, and Pit Icarus left for the warp area. Kevin picked up the coin, thinking of how conceited the vampire hunter was. He flipped the coin in his hand. Heads again!

Kevin: The old 2-headded coin bit.  

Duke looked at it and growled while Kevin shook his head. The two caught up with Simon and the others.

Outside, they waited for one of Mother Brain's flying patrols to pass before they went to the warp area. Kevin reminded everyone to be quiet. They reached Simon's warp; Mega Man lifted the cover.

Simon: This is it - the express warp to Metroid!

Pit Icarus flew down into the warp.

Pit: There's no time to lose!"

Mega Man jumped in, and then Simon with his nose pinched shut as if he were diving into water. Duke sniffed the warp and shook his head at his master.

Kevin: (patting his pet on the head) I know, Duke, but we've got no choice.

Kevin jumped into the warp, and Duke reluctantly followed.

The five emerged screaming from a shower sprayer, and they landed on a pink object with white spots.

Pit: This isn't Metroid!

Kevin: No,It's Kongoland! (pointing to a sign marked 'KONGOLAND' nearby).Not good.

Simon: Kongoland? But that's the home of...Donkey Kong!!! 

They were on the large ape's head, and he was bringing a brush up to it. Screaming, they fell down to his bathtub! They landed on a bar of soap. Donkey Kong was wearing a pink hair cover on his head, and he was holding a brush in one hand. When, he saw the heroes on his bar of soap, he screamed in his low voice. Everyone screamed when Donkey Kong sent a wave of water at the heroes! The soap bar raced out of the tub with the wave and deposited the heroes onto the ground. The heroes fled as Donkey Kong got up. He attempted pursuit, but he slipped on the bar of soap and fell on his back. By now, he was really ticked off!

Flying away, Pit Icarus faced the ape.

Pit: My arrows will stop that gargantuan gorrila!"

Pit aimed his bow and an arrow at a coconut tree and fired. The arrow knocked three coconuts loose from the tree, and each coconut landed on Donkey Kong's fat head! He stood up and screamed. When he reached for Pit Icarus, the small archer attempted to fly away, but Donkey Kong grabbed him by the left foot.

The other heroes were still retreating.

Kevin: Wait! We've gotta save Pit!"

Simon: (snaggs a tree limb with his whip) That'll be a snap.(swings towards Donkey Kong with a cocky grin, but then the limb snaps, and the vampire hunter began falling!) That wasn't the kind of snap I had in miiiiiiiind!!!

He released an "Oof" as he landed. He stood up and held his whip in front of him as if about to scold it.

Simon: Phew. That wasn't so bad.

Unfortunately, he had landed on Donkey Kong's open hand, and Donkey Kong snorted down at him. Simon turned away. He cried out as Donkey Kong thrust him over Kevin and Mega Man's heads into a tree.

Donkey Kong tried to stomp Kevin, but the teenager pressed a button on his Power Pad and shrank to a small, bright orb that zipped away before the foot reached him. Simon had smashed flat into the tree. Mega Man peeled him off and straightened him out.

Simon: Phew! Well. He'll think twice before tangling with me again! 

Kevin popped back in front of Simon and Mega Man. Unfortunately, the ape had started climbing a tree - with Pit Icarus still in his clutches!

Pit: Help!

Kevin: I hope this works.

Kevin positioned his finger over the leftmost red button on his pad and after a second,he pressed the button and zipped upwards onto the hand of Donkey Kong that held Pit Icarus. He popped the archer out of the ape's hand and then dropped back down with Kid Icarus to the ground. Donkey Kong reached out and growled in anger.

Pit: Hey, thanks, Kevin! You're a pretty good Game Enforcer after all. 
 
Kevin: Thank me later. We've gotta warp out of here before Donkey Kong gives us the big Game Over.
 
Kevin and everyone else raced towards a hollow tree stump. Donkey Kong landed on the ground in front of the tree, and his anger and frustration were growing by the second. Kevin pointed to the hollow stump. But no sooner did Duke jump up to do so than a piranha flower popped out and tried to put the bite on him! Fortunately, the dog reacted instantly and got out of the way.
 
Kevin: (yelling): We're too late! The zone's closed up! 

Simon: (crying out) And that beast is closing in!

Donkey Kong raced towards them.

Kevin: (pointing at a spewing volcano) I think there's the way off this world!
    
Meanwhile,In Mother Brain's lair on Metroid, King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard held Lana steady in front of Mother Brain.

Lana: You won't get away with this, Mother Brain. My warriors will rescue me. 

Mother Brain: Of course, my little Princess,...just like they rescued your father! Hee, hee, hee, hee! And Once I'm done executing you,Videoland will finally be mine! 
 
Mother Brain opened a sucking warp above Lana. Hippo and Eggplant released the Princess, and she was sucked screaming up into the tallest tower on Metroid. The trap door closed beneath her, and she landed on it. Suddenly, a door opened, and a large monster with spikes on its back emerged with a staff to guard her.
 
Lana gasped. She went to the barred window.

Lana: You'll pay for this, Mother Brain!

Back in Kongoland...The Heroes are climbing the volcano.

Simon: This is crazy! We're headed straight into a double dead-end! Dead if we jump in the volcano, and dead if we don't!
 
Donkey Kong was climbing up after them.
 
The heroes emerged on the top of the volcano.
 
Kevin: Look, I've played Kongoland enough times to know what I'm doing. Trust me! 
 
[Note: Kongoland is a game exclusive to Kevin's world]

Mega Man: Simon's right. My sensors detect no warps in this area. 
 
Suddenly, the surface of the lava in the volcano's lava tube flared up and burst, sending rocks flying upwards.

Kevin: Get down! 

Everyone gets down.

Simon: 'Trust me', he says. Ha! I'd sooner trust a vampire to give me a shave!

The rocks fell and nearly knocked Donkey Kong off, but he managed to maintain his ground.

Kevin: Quick! Closer to the edge of the volcano!
 
Everyone else, including Duke, shook his head. Simon grabbed Kevin's arm.

Simon: Are you nuts?" 
 
Kevin: (with a smile) I know what I'm doing! Trust me! 
 
Pit: I trust you, Kevin.
 
Mega Man: (smiles) If Pit Icarus trusts you, I trust you!

Mega neared Kevin and Kid Icarus near the edge, and Duke joined them as well.
  
Kevin: Come on, Simon! 

Simon: (backing up)  Oh, no! Not me! I'm staying right here! 
 
The lava burst again and sent more rocks skywards. Immediately, Kevin hit the Pause button again. He and Duke got on one rock, Pit Icarus and Mega Man on another.

Kevin: Quick! Get on the boulders; the pause won't last that long.

Simon was beginning to lose his confident look, but he did not want to concede defeat to the new hero yet.

Kevin: Simon, hurry!
 
The pause wore off, and the boulders flew away. Simon turned and saw Donkey Kong's head come above the volcano's top! Another rock flew up behind him, and the vain vampire hunter whipped out his whip and snagged the boulder before Donkey Kong could snag him.

Simon: Wait for meeee! 

Donkey Kong growled in anger as his last reach failed. The boulders left Kongoland and flew through space towards the brain-shaped asteroid known as Metroid.

 Princess Lana looked despondently from her tower prison. Then, as her hope was fading, she noticed three boulders come over the horizon. She gasped as she saw who was on them! The boulders flew over the surface of Metroid.

Kevin: Hey, guys, this is where we get off.

He hit the Pause button again. Simon cried,letting go of his whip handle. He crashed on the ground. When the pause wore off, the boulders fell to the ground, as Kevin had told the pause to take away their momentum. Simon was loving the ground, but he wisely moved before the boulder he had ridden on crushed him. Pit Icarus and Mega Man were most impressed by Kevin now.

Pit: That was a real cool move, Kevin!"

Mega Man: I agree!

Mega Man shook hands with Kevin,shaking him up a bit,due to Mega's strength.

Kevin: Th-th-thanks. 

Simon: Don't thank me yet. I still have to rescue the Princess. 

Pit: Speaking of Her Highness, look! (pointed up to the tower, where Lana was waving toward the heroes) It's her.

Simon: Ah. Just like in the fairy tales! The handsome hero will rescue the fair Princess from the impenetrable tower!
 
Kevin Simon. We have to do this as a team, remember? 
 
He, Duke, Kid Icarus, and Mega Man moved towards the tower.

Simon: Ah! The team! Of course. (spritzing some breath spray into his mouth. But as the others moved towards the tower, Simon sneaked off to a well) Sorry, Captain Nuisance, but no one shall come between Princess Lana and her loving Simon Belmont. This warp will take me straight into her arms.

It was only after he had jumped in that he realized that this was not a warp! he cried as he fell into the water.

The group stopped near the tower.

Kevin: Mega Man, give me a hand. That looks like an opening. 
 
Kevin put one foot into Mega Man's hands, and Mega Man propelled him upwards at a very high speed. As he soared through the air, Kevin screamed. He fell through the roof of the tower, and he landed on and squashed Lana's guard into video dust.

Kevin: Princess! 
 
Lana turned towards him and smiled in delight. She ran to him, and they embraced each other.

Lana: I thought you didn't want to have anything to do with Videoland. 

Kevin: I'm sorry I didn't take you seriously before. I couldn't believe that this was real. 
 
She shook her head as they released each other.

Lana: It is I who should apologize to you. 
 
Mega Man, Pit Icarus, and Duke broke into the room.

Kevin: Don't worry about it, Princess. 
 
Suddenly, the door the group had used shut tight! Lana gasped. Kevin yelled in surprise, looking at the door. Mega Man struggled to open it again, but to no avail. He shrugged.

Mega Man: We're locked in. 
 
Then, the hologram of Mother Brain appeared to them.

Holo-Mother Brain: So, this is what the Ultimate Warp Zone has sent to defeat me, huh? 
 
Kevin was instantly angry with her for all that she had put Lana and Videoland through.

Holo-Mother Brain: We'll see just how good you are when you try to survive...the corridors of Metroid! Eee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee! 

Unfortunately, Kevin, Lana, and Duke were all perfectly positioned on the trap door! It opened and dumped the three into the center of Metroid. They landed prostrate. Kevin looked up and gasped as a monster dove down towards him. He ducked as the monster flew over, but when it returned, he shot it with a Zapper blast. The three got up and ran. They climbed up on platforms to a higher level, and he blasted a flying monster that came after them. Then, two ugly blue critters chased them all around. They confused the pair of monsters into falling into the lava when they leapt across some moving platforms. As they were running, a fireball came at them. They went to another series of platforms and went down, and they evaded the ball. Kevin blasted another flying thing that came at them. Finally, the trio arrived at a door. Kevin twirled his Zapper and shot a hole in the door, and they all went through.

Kevin: We did it! We made it through! 

Lana: Mother Brain! (seeing the evil brain and her two minions) Oh,no!

Kevin: (confident) "No problemo!" (aims his Zapper and tries to fire, but no beam emerged from the Zapper!) Huh? (looking down at the Power Pad) Aw, I'm out of power! 
 
Mother Brain was sadistically happy about the situation.

Mother Brain: And you're out of time, too! Besides Samus,No one human could never defeat me!"

As MB laughed maniacally,Simon Belmont busted through the ceiling and swung down from his whip. He landed on the floor.

Simon: That may be true Mother Brain,no one human can,but how about a team!"

Mega Man burst a hole in the wall, and he entered, followed by Pit Icarus. Mother Brain was unpleasantly surprised to see the entire N Team assembled before her.
 
Mother Brain: (to her minions) Get them! 
 
Eggplant and Hippo moved towards the N Team. Simon swung his whip at the imbeciles, but Hippo grabbed the end.

King Hippo: Ha! What'cha you going to do now, dude? 

Simon: I'm not going to do anything, but my whip is going to whoop you! 
 
Simon's live whip tied up King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard, who were screaming to be let out. King Hippo fell over onto the wizard, causing vegetables to pop out.
 
Mother Brain: (in dismay) Oh, brother.(turns to the team and grins wickedly) I'll deal with you myself!
 
Pit Icarus flew up to her and fired an arrow at a lever, causing her to spin around uncontrollably..while screaming! Her jar was now a blur, and electricity fired everywhere.

Kevin: (noticing a warp out of Metroid) Quick! Into the warp! It's too dangerous to finish her off now!

Lana: One day,Mother Brain,One day.

The moment our heroes returned home,they battled and destroyed the Metroid minions who were attacking the Palace of Power. Hours later,inside...

At the Palace, Lana sat and addressed Kevin.
   
Lana: The legend may have been right about you after all, Captain N. 
 
Kevin: (smile) Yeah, well...I was just...lucky, I guess.

Simon: Personally, I wasn't lucky at all. No, it was skill and razor-sharp timing that allowed me to rescue you and save Videoland from that evil - 
 
Lana put her hand over his mouth to prevent him from finishing.

Lana: Thank you, Simon.(stands up and faces Kevin) We're indebted to you, and to the rest of you as well.

Duke barked. She rubbed his head.

Lana: You too, Duke. (turns to Kevin) And as for you, you may have helped me win the battle, but the war is far from over. You will stay and help defend Videoland, won't you? 
 
Kevin assumed a remorseful look.

Kevin: Sorry, Your Highness, but I've got to get back to my world. 
 
Duke barked, nodding in agreement. Lana was saddened by this decision, but she agreed. They returned to the Ultimate Warp. She knew that once he passed through that warp, he would forget all that he had done here. The warp opened as the group approached.
 
Simon: (eager to be rid of Kevin) Yes. Well, it was very nice of you to drop by. (waving good-bye) Do come back and visit us soon in, say, twenty years? 
 
Kevin turned back for one final look at the group and turned to the warp. He was about to pass through when...

Voice of Kevin's Mom: Kevin? You'd better not be playing that foolish game! You have homework to do. And don't forget to take out the trash! 
 
Kevin's look betrayed quite easily that he did not want to go back to face these unpleasant chores, but no one could read it because no one was facing him. He backed away from the warp.

Kevin: On second thought, I guess I could stick around just a little longer.

Lana came up to him. He looked back to her over his left shoulder, and she kissed him on his left cheek. Simon gasped, horrified.

Kevin: Let's face it. I'm hooked!

Kevin twirled his Zapper and fired it off towards an unimportant part of the ceiling.
====================================================================
