Dontae's Story

                                                                                       Chapter 1

             It was a dark and stormy night on Planet Raeth in June first two thousand and four, my mother and father were in the hospital awaiting my arrival. I was inside of my mother’s womb preparing to be born. My mother was screaming in pain as she laid on the bed with her legs spread open. “Push Samantha push!” The male doctor said as he had his hands in between my mother’s legs. “Uhh…!” My mother cried as she pushed with all her might. “The pain might be unbearable now, but it’ll all be over soon.” My father said holding my mother’s hand. She looked over at him and screamed “Why did you do this to me Toby?!” My mother gave another push and the doctor said “Keep at it! I can see the head!” “Ugggnnn!” My mother screamed as she pushed with the rest of her energy she had left. The doctor grabbed a hold of my head and slowly pulled me out of my mother’s womb.

             He then smacked me on the ass and I began crying. “It’s a boy!” “Would you like to cut the cord?” The doctor asked looking at my father. He nodded and a nurse gave him special scissors. My father cut the cord, and the doctor took me away to clean me off. My father with short spiky brown hair and brown eyes looked over at my mother and smiled. My mother with long pink hair and blue eyes smiled back. “What should we name him?” My mother asked. My father sat down in a chair that was next to the bed and said “How about Dontae?” My mother smiled and said “I like that name.” The doctor came back into the room and handed me to my father. “Hey there little guy.” He said smiling and looking at me. I smiled and giggled. “Remember honey, we can’t keep him.” “We don’t have the money to support him.” My mother said frowning.

             My father sighed and said “I know dear, but let’s enjoy him while we still can.” He then handed me to my mother, and the three of us hugged. “Should we take him to a random family and leave him there? Or do we take him to an orphanage?” My father asked. “I think it would be best that we leave him at an orphanage.” My mother said. “If we left him at some random house, who knows what type of family they are.” “I understand honey, I know the perfect orphanage we can take him to.” My father said. “Where?” My mother asked. “Miss’s Twig’s Orphanage.” My father said. “I heard that Miss Twig is a very nice lady.” “Wonderful, well leave tomorrow.” My mother said smiling. “Before we do, I need to get something from the house.” My father said. “You don’t mean…” My mother began to say. “Yes, who knows Dontae might be one and if he is he’s going to need it.” My father said.

             “But Toby, it belonged to your mother.” My mother said. “I know, but now I’m giving it to Dontae.” My father said. “Ok, if that’s what you want to do…” my mother said. She rested her head on my father’s shoulder and fell asleep with me in her arms. The next night, my mother and father carried me to Miss’s Twig’s Orphanage in a basket. Beside me was a box with what my father had given me and a note that was on my blanket. My father laid my basket down on the top step. “We love you Dontae.” My mother said with tears in her eyes. “I hope Miss Twig takes good care of you,” My father said with tears in eyes as well. My father then knocks on the door and they both take off running. A minute later, a young lady who looked like she was in her twenties, came to the door.

             She had long blonde hair and wore red framed glasses over her green eyes. “Hello?” she said looking around. “Must be those kids again playing a trick on me.” She said turning around. I then sneezed, and she turned back around looking down at me. “Oh my who do we have here?” She asked placing her hand over her mouth. “Where’s your mother and father?” She then picked up my basket and took the note. ‘“Dear Miss’s Twig, we have left our baby in your care because we are unable to support him. Please take good care of Dontae.”’ “Oh you poor thing, I’ll take good care of you.” She said smiling. “My name is Miss Twig, it’s nice to meet you Dontae.” Miss Twig carried me inside of the orphanage and closed the door behind her.

                                                                      Chapter 2

 Five years had passed, and I’m sitting in the play room playing Devil May Cry. The date is 3/3/2009, I now wear a blue hat that’s turned backwards with the letters DMC on the front. My hat covers my short brown hair and I have green eyes. I might be five years old playing a game like Devil May Cry, but I can handle the game unlike most five year olds. Devil May Cry so far is my favorite game, the reason why is because the main character’s name is Dante. I feel like he and I have a connection somehow, since my name and his name sound alike. “Dontae, stop playing that game and come eat dinner!” Miss Twig said in the dining room. “Coming Miss Twig!” I said placing my controller down on the floor and running into the dining room.

             “I made macaroni and cheese, green beans, and corn bread.” “Eat up everyone.” Miss Twig said smiling. We all dug into the food and began eating. Normally for dinner we would get baked beans, white bread, and grits, but tonight Miss Twig went out to the store and brought back what we’re eating now. To the left of me at the table was a girl named Angel with short black hair and blue eyes. I looked up from my plate and saw that she was staring at me blushing. I smiled and waved and she did the same. On the other side of me was my best friend Nate, he has spiky red hair and brown eyes. Looking over at him, I gave him thumbs up and he did the same. After we had finished eating dinner, we stuck our dishes in the sink and began to head to bed.

             As I was walking towards our bedroom, I stopped in place and turned to Miss Twig. “Miss Twig?” I asked walking up to her. “What is it Dontae?” She asked looking down at me. “When will I have a mommy or a daddy?” I asked. She got to her knees and placed her hands on my shoulders. “Soon ok?” “And whoever they are, I know they’ll take good care of you.” She said smiling. I smiled and said “Ok,” “Now head on to bed.” She said as she kissed me on my forehead. “I will,” I said as I happily hugged her. I turned around and ran into the bedroom where Angel and Nate were at. As I was getting up into my bed, I saw a shooting star go by. “Oh wow…” I said smiling. “A shooting star…!” I closed my eyes, tilt my head down, and placed my hands together in front of my chest.

             “Oh shooting star, please grant me the wish of Dante from Devil May Cry to become my daddy.” I said. I looked back up and said “I hope it comes true.” All of a sudden I heard Miss Twig coming, so I hurried up and got under my covers. “Dontae?” She asked as she came into the room. “Yes Miss Twig?” I asked. She sat down on the edge of the bed and turned to me. “There’s something I need to give you, I wanted to give it to you when you were a little bit older but…” “I think you’re old enough.” She said as she pulled out a box from behind her back. “A present?” I asked. “No sweetie, it’s something from your parents.” She said. She handed it to me and I stared down at it.

             “Can I open it?” I asked looking up at her. “Of course silly, that’s why I gave it to you.” She said. I ripped the tape off of the box and opened up the box. Inside was a weird looking controller. “Cool! It’s a controller!” I said happily as I pulled it out of the box. “Can I play with it?” I asked looking up at Miss Twig. “Sorry sweetie, but you need your sleep.” “You can play with it tomorrow though.” She said taking my controller and sitting it on my table that was beside my bed. “Aww…ok…” I said sadly. “Good night Dontae,” Miss Twig said kissing me on my forehead again and heading out the door. “Good night Miss Twig.” I said snuggled up in my covers and beginning to close my eyes.

             Twenty minutes later after I faked falling asleep, I grabbed my controller and got out of bed. “Time to try you out.” I said heading out of the room. I crept to the play room, and sat down in front of the TV. “I hope you work.” I said looking down at my controller. It was no ordinary controller, it had certain features from the GameCube, PlayStation 2, and X-Box all combined into one. On the right side of the controller was the GameCube’s A, B, X, and Y buttons along with GameCube’s R button, PlayStation’s R2 button and X-Box’s joystick. To the left of the controller was PlayStation’s D-pad, three small buttons, GameCube’s L button, PlayStation’s L2 button, PlayStation’s joystick and a switch that was at the bottom. In the middle of the controller at the top was the X-Box symbol, underneath of it was GameCube’s start button, and PlayStation’s select button.

             After I had turned on the PlayStation 2 and the game started up, I pressed the start button on the controller. Nothing happened, the title screen was still on the TV and nothing changed. “Why isn’t it working?” I asked myself as I looked down at the controller. I noticed the switch at the bottom of the controller and said “I guess I just needed to turn it on.” I slid the switch all the way to the right and I began to feel weird. All of a sudden my entire body turned into a cloud of smoke and I was sucked into the PlayStation 2. After I had disappeared into the PlayStation 2, Miss Twig came into the room. “Dontae? Was that you I heard in here?” She asked. She then noticed the PlayStation 2 was on and sighed. “Must have been the game.” “I hate when Dontae leaves this thing on.” Miss Twig said bending over and turning off the PlayStation 2.

                                                                      Chapter 3

 I reappeared in a large room that had a horse statue in the middle of it and several paintings on the wall. “Whoa…where am I?” I asked myself as I looked around. “This doesn’t look like the play room.” I then recognized a red barrier that was on a door and gasped. “Oh no! I’m in Devil May Cry!” I said in shock. Then all of a sudden a puppet came out of nowhere and began to strike at me with its dagger. I fell to my knees and began crying. “Noooooo! I don’t want to die!” I cried. Then there was a gunshot and the puppet fell in front of me. I looked up to see Dante with his long gray hair, grayish bluish eyes, also in his red jacket, black shirt, tan pants, and green boots. “What are you doing here kid, and how did you get here?” He asked with his gun in his hand.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> I stood up and said “M…My name’s Dontae.” “Dante? Like me?” Dante asked. “No sir my name is spelled D o n t a e.” I said. “Uh huh…so how did you get here?” he asked. “I guess with this,” I said holding up my controller. Dante’s eyebrows raised and he smiled. “So you’re a Game Master.” He said. “What’s a Game Master?” I asked. “A Game Master is someone who can go into different video games, there’s more to them but since you’re only…” Dante began. He took a closer look at me and asked “How old are you anyway?” “I’m five,” I said. “Yep to young, anyway I need to get you away from here before something happens to you.” Dante said. “Like what?” I asked. Three more puppets appeared and threw shuriken at us.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Dante blocked them with his sword and sliced the puppets heads off. “Like that,” Dante said grinning. “Come on I got a pad back in the city, as you can see we’re pretty much on a island.” Dante said as he opened the front doors and exposed the outside. There was ocean stretching for miles and no other land to be seen. “You’re going to like my place.” He said looking down at me and smiling. “How did you get here?” I asked. “Was it by a boat?” “Nope,” Dante said. “Plane?” I asked. “Nope,” Dante said again. “Then how?” I asked confused. “Hop on my back and you’ll find out.” Dante said. Dante crouched down and I climbed up on his back. He then stood up and took off running at full speed. “Weeeeeeeeee!” I said joyfully enjoying the wind blowing in my face.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> One minute later, Dante and I stopped in front of a machine that had a flat pad on the ground and a control panel to the side. “This is how we’ll get back to my pad.” Dante said putting me down. “What is it?” I asked. “It’s a game teleporter,” Dante began to explain. “It allows me to go to whatever game I’m in.” “Huh?” I said confused. “Look kid I can’t explain it any better.” Dante said sighing. “You came into Devil May Cry correct?” Dante asked. “Yeah,” I said. “Ok, I’m able to go from Devil May Cry to Devil May Cry 2 and so on.” Dante said. “Oh…ok.” I said. “Alright kid step on the pad while I set it to Devil May Cry 3.” Dante said as he walked over to the control panel.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> I walked over to the pad, and stepped up on it. Dante finished setting it, and jumped onto the pad next to me. “Hang on kid,” He said grinning. I grabbed onto his pants, and then we disappeared. When Dante and I reappeared, we were now in a large city with tall buildings and cars everywhere. “Come on kid, my place is just around the corner.” Dante said as he began walking. I began to follow him and turned around to look at the game teleporter. Dante and I finally made it back at his place, once we were inside, Dante said “Well kid what do you think?” I looked around and saw a pool table at one end of the room, jukebox on another side of the room, a desk at the back of the room, and demon heads as mantles on the wall. “It looks cool.” I said smiling.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Dante walked over to his desk, spun his chair around on one leg, and sat down perfectly placing his feet on his desk. “So kid, if I remember correctly you have to pretty much beat the game to leave.” Dante said. “And don’t worry; I’ll make sure you’ll be able to.” “Actually sir…, I don’t want to leave.” I said. “I want to stay here with you.” Dante looked at me in shock. He then sighed and said “Look kid, I’m not a baby sitter.” “So staying here is out of the question.” I began to tear up. “Hey no reason to cry, suck it up.” Dante said. “All I want is a mommy or daddy!” I said crying with my face in my hands. “What do you mean by that?” Dante asked. I whipped away some tears and said “I have no mommy or daddy, they left me a long time ago.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Dante stared at me for a few minutes and sighed. “Well I guess you can stay, but if you get pulled out from the game it’s not my problem.” Dante said. “Yay!” I cheered with my face lit up with joy. “Since you’ll be staying, you might as well know how to defend yourself.” Dante said as he pulled a sword from off the wall. “Here take this.” Dante said handing me the sword. “I…I don’t know…won’t the sword hurt me?” I asked. “Not if you stab, cut, or slice yourself.” Dante said. I stared at the sword for a few seconds and then took it. As soon as I had it in my hands, the sword fell to the floor like a ton of bricks. I struggled to pick it up, but couldn’t. “It’s heavy.” I said looking up at Dante. “Don’t worry kid, you’ll get the hang of it.” Dante said as he headed over to the jukebox and turned on some rock music.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> I spent an hour trying to pick the sword up, but I finally managed to get it up in the air and keep it there. “Good, now that you’ve gotten use to holding a sword, how about I see what you’ve got.” Dante said grinning as he pulled out his sword. “I don’t think I’m ready for that.” I said hoping he would forget about it. “Nonsense, everyone’s ready for something.” Dante said as he swung his sword at me. I panicked, dropped the sword, and ran. “Oh come on kid, how are you going to be able to protect yourself if you run away?” Dante said holding the sword on his shoulder. “Come back over here, pick up the sword, and block my attack.” Afraid that I’m going to get my head chopped off, I slowly walked over to the sword and picked it up. “Now when I swing my sword at you, I want you to block it.” Dante said.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “O…Ok…” I said nervously. Dante swung his sword at me, I held up my sword and blocked it. “I…I did it!” I said happily. “Good, let’s keep practicing.” Dante said as he swung at me again. Once again, I blocked his attack with my sword. We spent the next two hours practicing my blocking. Dante then put his sword down and said “Alright kid, now you’re going to attack me and I’m going to block you. “Ok,” I said huffing. I swung my sword at Dante and he blocked it. “That’s it kid, you’re getting the hang of this.” Dante said grinning. After two more hours, Dante ordered two boxes of pizza. When the pizza arrived, Dante took out a slice and handed it to me. I stared down at it like if it were a sad puppy.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “What’s wrong kid?” Dante asked. “I never really had pizza.” I said looking up at Dante. “No way, you’ve never had pizza?” Dante asked in shock. I nodded. “Well kid, today’s the day you get to try your first slice.” Dante said grinning. “Go ahead, take a bite.” I slowly brought the pizza to my mouth and took a bite. The cheese was nice and gooey, sauce was so perfect, pepperoni’s were nice and salty, and the crust was crisp and crunchy. My eyes opened wide and I took several more bites. “This is amazing!” I said almost biting my fingers off. “Well kid, have as much as you’d like.” Dante said pushing the pizza box towards me. I grabbed another slice and began to chow down on it. “Take it easy kid you might choke.” Dante said.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “So what’s next?” I asked. “Well I guess now you can start your own missions.” Dante said. “Like what kind of mission?” I asked with a mouthful of pizza. “Well your first mission will be…” Dante said thinking. “To kill your first enemy.” “Ooo! Can we go back into Devil May Cry so I can kill a puppet?” I asked. “Sure, we’ll head there tomorrow.” Dante said. “Yes!” I cheered. Dante kicked the top of the table with his heel and a slice of pizza flew into the air. He then grabbed his sword and stabbed it through the pizza. “That was so cool!” I said. “Yeah, and soon you’ll be able to do things like that.” Dante said taking a bite of his pizza that was still on his sword. I smiled warmly at him and took another bite of my pizza.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal">                                                        Chapter 4

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> I spent a month training for my first mission, and when it was time, we headed back to Devil May Cry. “Alright kid there’s a puppet over there, are you ready to kill it?” Dante asked pointing at the puppet in the distance. I nodded and said “I’m ready.” “Good, now go kill him.” Dante said. I ran at the puppet with my sword raised high and yelled “Yaaahh!” The puppet turned to me and threw shuriken at me. I blocked them with my sword and swung at the puppet. The puppet dodged my attack and smacked me in the back. “Owie!” I cried as I held my back. “Come on kid show it no mercy!” Dante yelled. Whipping my tears away, I took another swung at the puppet and sliced him in half.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> The puppet fell to the ground and disappeared. “Wooo that’ll show him!” Dante cheered as a clapped his hands. I turned to him and gave him thumbs up. “How you feeling kid?” He asked as he walked up to me. “I feel pretty good, but my back hurts.” I said rubbing my back. “Don’t worry kid, it’ll heal up in no time.” Dante said. “Can we go back to your place and have some pizza?” I asked. “Sure kid, you’ve earned it.” Dante said grinning. I looked up him and smiled warmly. Once we were back at Dante’s crib, we sat his desk and ate pizza. “I’m really proud of you kid, you showed that puppet who’s boss.” Dante said smiling. “Thank you,” I said happily.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Thoughts then began to go through my mind of how if I had a real mom or dad and how proud they would be. The smile faded from my face and I stared down at my pizza in sadness. Dante noticed that something was bothering me and he asked “What’s wrong kid?” I looked up at him and said “Nothing sir, just thinking about how proud my real parents would be.” Dante paused for a moment and said “I bet they would be very proud of you.” “Really?” I asked. “Yeah, too bad it’s their loss for missing it.” Dante said taking another bite from his pizza. Tears began to roll down my cheeks. “Sorry kid,” Dante said. “It’s ok, I just wish I had a mommy or daddy…” I said.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Then I remembered the wish I made before I came into Devil May Cry. I looked up at Dante and said “Dante sir…?” “What is it kid?” Dante asked. “I was wondering…if you could be my daddy…?” I asked pushing my index fingers together. Dante stared at me, took another bite of his pizza, and said “I don’t know kid, I’m not really the parenting type.” “Please,” I begged. “I would really love to have a daddy.” Dante sighed, scratched the back of his head, and said “I guess I could be your dad, but in return you have to clean this place up once in awhile.” Dante said. Happiness went through my body and I said “Ok!” I took another bite of my pizza and smiled warmly at him. Dante grinned and took another bite as well.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal">                                                     Chapter 5

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> A year goes by and I’ve completed forty six missions, as well as killed hundreds of demons. I’m now six years old and on 11/7/2010, Dante and Vergil are going at one another. “Vergil!” Dante yelled as he ran at twin brother with his sword high into the air. “Heh…” Vergil snickered. “Get him daddy! Get him!” I cheered as I stood in the background with my fist raised high. Once Dante was close to Vergil, Vergil grabbed on to Dante’s sword and drove deep into his chest. “Daddy!” I screamed in shock. Dante fell to his knees, looked up at Vergil, and said “You bastard…” I began to run towards Dante yelling “Daddy!” “Get out of here Dontae before he kills you too!” Dante yelled looking back at me.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> I stopped in my tracks, teared up, and run the other direction. “I have no reason to kill that pathetic child.” Vergil said as he drove the sword deeper into Dante’s chest. Dante’s eyes grew wide and he fell to the ground. Vergil then pushed his hair up to make it spiky and walked away saying “Foolish Dante, you can never defeat me.” Once Vergil was nowhere in sight, I came out of my hiding place from behind a large boulder and ran to Dante. Falling to my knees, I began to bawl. “Daddy no! Please don’t die on me!” I cried. Dante then blinked, sat up, and pulled his sword from his chest.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Damn it Dontae, stop that crying.” “We’ve been through this over and over again about me getting stabbed.” Dante said as he stood up. “I…I know, it’s just I can’t lose you…” I said whipping away my tears. “You’re not kid, you have nothing to worry about.” Dante said. “What about Vergil?” I asked. “I’ll get his ass later.” Dante said. My stomach began to growl and I looked up at Dante. “Can we get some pizza? I’m hungry.” I said. Dante grinned and said “Sure kid.” We began walking back to Dante’s crib when I said “When do you think I’ll be ready to take on Vergil?” “When you get a little bit older and a lot stronger kid.” Dante said. “And when I do, I’ll make sure Vergil gets what he deserves.” I said. Dante laughed and said “I know you will kid.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal">                                                        Chapter 6

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> One week later, Dante and I headed back to Devil May Cry so I could do my fiftieth mission as well as my first boss fight. We were in the sewer system of the castle and I knew who my first boss was. “Is my first boss       ?” I asked looking up at Dante. “Yep,” Dante said. “He’s really scary…” I said nervously. “Well get over it kid, you’re going to face him.” Dante said. I swallowed hard and continued following Dante. After we had obtained the key from a room where a bunch of bug demons attacked us, we headed towards the lock door that was down the hall and went through it. “You ready for this kid?” Dante asked looking at me. “I think so…” I said.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Dante and I walked down another hallway and turned the corner to find candles with purple fire, the devils sign on the floor, and a cow looking skull on the wall. “Well kid, once you walk into the circle he’ll come out.” “Get your sword ready.” Dante said. I swallowed hard and said “I’m scared daddy…” “Nonsense kid, I know you’re brave enough to take him on.” Dante said. I took a deep breath and said “You’re right.” “Good, now get in there.” Dante said. Gripping my sword tight I began to walk into the circle. Once I was in the middle of the circle, the cow looking skull came off of the wall and a ghostly like body appeared wearing a purple cloak. “Hehahehaheha!” the       laughed as it pulled out large pair of scissors.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Come on Dontae you can take him!” Dante yelled. The       charged at me with its large scissors, and I rolled to the side dodging it. It then turned around and charged at me again. Instead of dodging, I blocked its attack with my sword and swung my sword hitting it in the side. The      let out a loud cry and opened its scissors preparing to cut my head off. I ducked just in time before the scissors closed and slashed the        with my sword. Letting out another loud cry, I swung at the      again and hit it in the back. Its head began to turn red, and the      went through the wall. I looked all around for it, and it came at me from behind. “Behind you!” Dante yelled. I turned around just in time to slice the       ‘s head off.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Both the head and body fell to the ground and disappeared. “Way to go kid!” Dante cheered as he clapped his hands. I turned to him and smiled. “I told you that you could do it.” Dante said grinning. “Thank you daddy,” I said. “You gave me the confidence to beat him.” “Now let’s head back home and celebrate your first boss defeat with some pizza!” Dante said rubbing my head. I smiled warmly at him and gave him a big hug. Dante paused for a moment and patted me on the back. “Come on kid, let’s go get some pizza.” Dante said as he pulled away and began walking towards the door we just came from. “Yay pizza!” I cheered.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal">                                                           Chapter 7

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Another year goes by, and I’ve completed fifty more missions. Today is 6/1/2011 which means today is my birthday. I am now seven years old, and I have been living in Devil May Cry for two years. As I was in Dante’s crib sharpening my sword, Dante came from the back room carrying a box with a bow on it. “Hey kid,” Dante said getting my attention. I placed my sword down and turned to him. “Yes daddy?” I asked. “Happy birthday,” Dante said handing me the box. My eyes lit up and I gasped. “What is it?!” I asked excitedly taking the box from him. “Open it and find out.” Dante said grinning. I ripped the bow off and opened the box.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Gasping from the sight of what’s inside I said “It’s my own pair of guns!” “Actually kid, they’re still mine, but since you’re a Game Master maybe you can copy them.” Dante said. “Ok!” I said smiling. I placed both guns on the floor and pulled out my controller. Over the two years I’ve been in Devil May Cry, I’ve managed to understand what every button on my controller does. I pointed my controller at the guns and hit the copy button that was on the left side of my controller. When the controller beeped, I pointed at an empty spot on the floor and pressed the paste button. Both of Dante’s guns appeared in front of me and I picked them up. “Yay! Now I too have my own Ebony and Ivory!” I cheered holding both guns in the air. One gun was black and the other was silver, and they had the words ‘Ebony & Ivory’ encrypted on the sides on them.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Dante picked up his guns and placed them back in his gun holders. “When can I try them out?” I asked. “Right now.” Dante said grinning. “Sweet!” I yelled happily as I ran out of the door. Once I was outside, I found a group of demons in cloaks holding scythes and grinned. I pointed my guns at them and began firing. Two of the demons were hit and disappeared, as for the others, they came at me with their scythes raised high. “You won’t even get a chance to get near me!” I yelled shooting them in the head. When the smoke cleared, all of the demons had vanished. “Yay! I got them all!” I cheered. Dante came outside clapping his hands and said “Way to go kid, you’re a natural with those guns.” I looked up at him and smiled.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Come on kid, let’s take you to an area where there’s a lot of demons.” Dante said guiding me. All of a sudden, I felt everything around me beginning to slow down. Before I knew it, there was a quick flash and pain shot through my right eye. “Ow!” I cried in pain as I held my eye. Blood trickled through my hand and down my cheek. “Hold still kid, let me take a look.” Dante said getting on his knees. I pulled my hand away from my eye, and Dante saw a large vertical cut that came from the bottom of my eye socket to the top. “Damn that’s a nasty cut, good thing whatever did this to you didn’t get your eye.” Dante said. Then a familiar laugh came from behind us.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Dante stood up to see Vergil with his sword in his hand and my blood on the blade. “Vergil!” Dante yelled. “What did you do to him you bastard?!” Vergil grinned and said “Let’s just say that I killed a vicious demon with this sword, and with its blood still remaining on the blade, I cut Dontae’s eye and had the demons blood mix with his.” “And when the time comes when Dontae obtains Devil Trigger, he will become so powerful that no one can defeat him!” “Grr…” Dante growled angrily. Dante then pulled out his sword and charged at Vergil screaming “I’ll kill you!” When Dante was close enough, Vergil stopped Dante’s sword with his hand and bashed Dante in the face with the swords handle.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> When Dante wasn’t looking, Vergil vanished and said “I hope he enjoys his birthday present!” “Vergil you coward!” Dante yelled. Dante then put his sword away and walked back towards me. “D…Daddy is that true what he said?” I asked. Dante frowned and looked the other way. “I’m afraid so kid.” He said. “Now let’s get back inside so I can clean you up before you bleed to death.” “Ok…” I said picking up my guns and following him.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal">                                                        Chapter 8

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Four years later back on Planet Raeth on the month of July seventh, Miss Twig was closing down the orphanage because of my disappearance. All of the kids that I knew had all been transferred to another orphanage. Miss Twig was outside with a box full of toys and things that I and the other kids played with as well as the PlayStation 2. A donation truck was parked in front of the orphanage, and the driver was loading all of the boxes that was inside of the orphanage. When the driver had finished, he came up to Miss Twig to give her a form to sign. “Here’s the last box Phil, please give it a good home.” Miss twig said as she handed him the box of toys. “I will ma’am.” Phil said with his long blonde hair, green eyes, and blue uniform with the word ‘Donators’ on the front.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Miss Twig finished filling out the form and handed it back to Phil. “You have a nice day ma’am.” Phil said as he stuck the box of toys beside him in the front seat and drove off. “You too!” Miss Twig said waving goodbye. She then turned around to take one last look at the orphanage and tears rolled down her cheeks. “Oh Dontae…wherever you may be, I hope you’re happy.” Miss Twig said rubbing her eyes. “If only you hadn’t disappeared, I would of adopted you myself and taken good care of you.” Miss Twig then got in her red punch buggy, and drove away. Five minutes later with the donation truck, Phil parks the truck in front of a white house with flowers covering the whole yard and gets out with the box of toys.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> He then walks up to the house and knocks on the red door. A few seconds later a woman with long black hair and blue eyes opened the door. She was wearing a hello kitty apron over her pink shirt and blue jeans. “Hello?” She asked. “Here’s your package ma’am.” Phil said handing her the box of toys. “Why thank you.” the woman said taking the box. “And here’s your pay.” She said pulling out money and handing it to Phil. “Have a nice day ma’am.” Phil said turning around and heading back to his truck. “You too.” The woman said closing the door. Once the door was closed, the woman walked into the living and said “Weasel sweetie, I have a surprise for you.” Weasel was sitting on the floor playing Super Smash Bros Brawl. “Really?!” “What is it mommy?!” Weasel asked as he got up and walked towards his mom.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “It’s a box of toys I got from an orphanage that was closing down.” His mother said placing the box down. “Cool!” Weasel said excitedly as he opened the box. Weasel gasped and pulled out the PlayStation 2. “Oh wow! It’s a PlayStation 2!” Weasel said happily as he held it up. “And look sweetie it even came with a game.” His mother said pulling Devil May Cry out the box. “Ooo…” Weasel said staring at the game. “Can I play it mommy? Can I? Can I?” “Of course you can sweetie.” His mother said handing him the game. Weasel is eight years old; he has short black hair, black framed glasses over his blue eyes, and freckles on both sides of his cheeks. “Yay! I’m going to play this right away!” Weasel said happily as he began to hook the PlayStation 2 up.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Back in Devil May Cry, I’m in a random part of town shooting up demons for fun. I’m now eleven years old, the cut on my eye is now a scar, and my hair on the right is close enough to cover it. “Oh yeah you bastards how do you like this?!” I yelled as I shot demon after demon in the face. “And this?!” A demon behind me was creeping up to me preparing to strike, when I pointed my gun behind me head and shot it in the face. “This all you got?!” I grinned. Then a group of demons came from above my head and covered me. The next thing you see is my sword going through one of the demons, and I swing my sword in a circle cutting them all in half. The demons fell to the ground and disappeared. I put my sword on my back, and stuck my guns in my gun holsters that was on my hips.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “You guy’s ain’t got nothing on me.” I said laughing. Dante walked up behind me clapping his hands and said “Woo good show kid, good show.” I turned to him and said “Thanks dad, I learned from the best.” “How about we go back home and get some pizza?” Dante asked grinning. “Hell yeah!” I said smiling. As we started walking, my controller in my pocket began to beep. I looked down and said “What the?” Just as I was about to pull my controller out of my pocket, I felt a familiar feeling that I haven’t felt in years, and I turned into a cloud of smoke. Dante stopped in his tracks and turned around to see me gone. “Dontae? Where did you go kid?” Dante asked looking everywhere for me.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal">                                                      Chapter 9

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Yay! Devil May Cry!” Weasel cheered as he sat in front of the TV with the Devil May Cry title screen showing. Before he could press start, I appeared in front of him in a cloud of smoke. In shock, Weasel fell backwards and dropped his controller. “Where am I?” I asked looking around in their living room. Weasel quicky got up and ran for the kitchen screaming “Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!” When he entered the kitchen he bumped into his mom. “What is it sweetie? What’s wrong?” She asked concerned. “A…A boy just came out of PlayStation 2!” Weasel yelled. He then grabbed his moms hand and said “Come look! Come look!” They both came into the living room and saw me facing the TV looking at the PlayStation 2.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Is that the PlayStation 2 from Miss Twig’s Orphanage?” I asked myself as I studied the PlayStation 2. “See mommy there he is!” I heard Weasel say behind me. I turned around to see Weasel and his mom standing behind me. “Hello there, may I ask where you came from?” Weasel’s mom asked. “Uhh…I guess I came from that PlayStation 2.” I said pointing at the PlayStation 2. “How exactly did you come from the PlayStation 2?” she asked. I pulled out my controller and said “With this.” Weasel’s mom had a look on her face as to know what I’m talking about. She then looked down at Weasel and said “Weasel sweetie, I want you to go to your room ok?” Weasel nodded and said “Ok mommy.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Once Weasel had left the room, his mother turned to me and said “So…” “Dontae,” I said knowing she wanted to know my name. “How old are you?” She asked. “Eleven,” I said. “Well Dontae, I know what you are.” She said. “What? A Game Master?” I asked. “Yeah,” She said. My stomach began to growl and she saw me put my hand to my stomach. “Are you hungry?” she asked. “Yeah, I’m starving.” I said. “Well follow me into the kitchen and I’ll cook you up something.” She said. “Could I have some pizza?” I asked. “Sure,” She said. Weasel’s mom turned around and walked towards the kitchen. I followed behind her.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> When we were in the kitchen, Weasel’s mom placed a pepperoni pizza in the oven and started it. She then came over to the kitchen table and sat across from me. “So how long have you been in Devil May Cry?” she asked. “Six years,” I said. Weasel’s mom covered her mouth and said “Oh my six years…?” “So your controller never brought you back out?” “Nope,” I said starting to smell the pizza. “Well the only two ways you can stay in a game is having the system you went into cut off, or having an SD controller.” “But it seems that you don’t have one.” “How could I get one?” I asked. “All you have to do is go inside of Super Smash Bros Brawl, and defeat Tabuu with Sonic on Intense.” She explained. “With Sonic?” I said with disgust in my voice. “Yep,” she said. “I can’t stand Sonic, not even when I was five.” I said. “Well that’s the only way.” Weasel’s mom said.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> The oven dinged, and Weasel’s mom went over to the oven and pulled out the pizza. “Pizza’s done,” She said setting it on the counter. She grabbed the pizza cutter and cut it into several slices. I grabbed one of the slices and bit into it. “So what’s your name?” I asked. “Oh I’m sorry; I never told you my name.” Weasel’s mom said. “My name is Katie, Katie Dirble.” “It’s nice to meet you Katie.” I said shaking her hand with my pizza free hand. “It’s nice to meet you too Dontae.” Katie said smiling. After I finished eating the whole pizza, I rubbed my stomach and said “Oh man I’m full.” “Thank you for the pizza.” “No problem,” Katie said. “So now can I get the SD controller?” I asked. “Sure, let’s just go unplug the PlayStation 2 and hook up the Wii.” Katie said heading out the kitchen.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal">                                                        Chapter 10

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Katie finished hooking up the Wii and put in Super Smash Bros Brawl. I pulled out my controller and held it in front of me. “Do you remember how to go into game?” Katie asked. “Yeah I remember, it’s this switch right here.” I said pointing at the switch in the middle of the controller. “Ok, now when you get the SD controller, the way to get out is to press the start button and then the select button.” Katie explained. “Got it.” “Well wish me good luck.” I said sliding the switch and then turning into a cloud of smoke. “Good luck Dontae.” Katie said as she watched the cloud of smoke disappear into the Wii. I reappeared in front of a large door that was mainly blue but at the same time it was changing colors. “Sweet…” I said admiring the door. “I need to get me one of these.” I said grinning

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Then I began to hear someone running towards me, so I turned around and pulled out my guns. Both of my guns were right in Sonic’s face. “Whoa whoa whoa…take it easy, I’m only here to help you get the controller.” Sonic said with his hands up trying to calm me down. It would be pretty funny if I shot him in the face. I thought to myself. I lowered my guns and placed them back in my gun holsters. “Sorry, force of habit.” I said. Sonic took a deep breath and said “Well like I said, I’m here to help you obtain the SD controller.” “Are you ready?” “Yeah let’s get going.” I said opening the door and walking in. Sonic and I appeared in a large dark area standing on a huge platform that was floating. “Where you at Tabuu?!” I yelled looking around. A colorful light shined behind my head and I turned around to see a blue like man floating above my head. “There you are!” I said.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Ok Game Master, take control of me so we can defeat Tabuu together!” Sonic said. I pulled out my controller and pointed it at Sonic. The fight began with Tabuu throwing a saw blade like weapon from the side of the stage to the other side. I pressed the A button on my controller and Sonic and I jumped together. The blade and Tabuu then disappeared, and Tabuu reappeared hovering over the stage. I controlled Sonic to bash him with his head, kick him with both of his feet, and hit Tabuu with Sonic’s homing attack. A little of Tabuu’s health went down. Damn I knew Sonic sucked. I thought to myself. After hours of dodging Tabuu’s attacks and knocking his health down until we only had to hit him one more time, Tabuu disappeared and reappeared in the background of the stage.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Sonic looked over at me and said “Get ready to dodge three times Game Master, here comes Tabuu’s most powerful attack.” “What’s so bad about it?” I asked. “If hit on intense even with no damage, you’re pretty much defeated.” Sonic said. “Damn…” I said hoping I don’t get hit. In the background, I could see butterfly like wings appear on Tabuu. Tabuu then flaps it once, and a huge wave comes towards us. “Now!” Sonic yelled. I held the R button and pressed down on the joystick. Sonic and I both dodged the first wave. Tabuu opened his wings again and flapped then letting out another huge wave. “Now!” Sonic yelled again. I repeated the same thing I did before and dodged Tabuu’s second wave. “Only one left.” Sonic said. Tabuu opened his wings one last time and let out another wave.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> I managed to have Sonic dodge, but I didn’t dodge in time. I was sent flying across the stage, when I quickly pulled out my sword and shoved it into the floor of the stage. Sonic came running up to me and helped me to my feet. “Whew that was a close one.” Sonic said. “Yeah it was, now let’s finish his ass before something like that happens again.” I said taking control of Sonic again. Tabuu appeared over our heads again, and I had Sonic do another homing attack. Tabuu began to scream and electricity covered his body. He began to fall in the background and then he disappeared. All of a sudden, a light above us shined and I looked up to see what it was. “Sweet…it’s the SD controller...” I said as it slowly came down towards me.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> When it was in my grasp, I grabbed a hold of it and held it in front of me. The SD controller looked like a cross of a Sega and Dreamcast controller mixed together. “Wow…you look a lot different from my controller.” I said. “Well Dontae, it’s been fun.” “You’re welcome for getting you the SD controller.” Sonic said. “Yeah thanks.” I said looking at him. Then Sonic ran over to the teleporter pad that appeared in the middle of the stage and disappeared. “Now that I have the SD controller, it’s time to press the start and select button.” I said pressing start. I then pressed the select button, and I was turned back into a cloud of smoke. “I’m back!” I said after I had reappeared in the living room. “Welcome back! I see you have the SD controller.” Katie said as she came from the kitchen.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Yep, and man was it easy to get.” I said spinning the SD controller on one finger and then catching it. “Really? You had no trouble in getting it?” Katie asked. “Nope,” I said grinning. “Good,” Katie said smiling. “So what exactly does the SD controller do?” I asked. “Well with your controller, you already know what it’s capable of right?” Katie asked. “Yeah,” I said. “Well a lot of things, but instead of telling you everthing I’ll just write them down and give it to you.” Katie said. “That’s cool.” I said. “Anyway what we need to do now is fuse both controllers together.” Katie said. “Fuse the controllers?” I asked. “Yeah, you don’t think you can work two controllers at once can you?” Katie asked. “I guess not.” I said. “So how do we fuse them?”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “It’s pretty simple, all you have to do is hold the fusion button on the back of the SD controller, and hold the X and Y button on your controller then make them touch.” Katie explained. “That’s it?” I asked. “Yep.” Katie said smiling. “Ok then let’s get them fused.” I said turning the SD controller around. I held the fusion button on the back, and then held the X and Y buttons on my controller. “Now make them touch.” Katie said. I brought both controllers together and made them touch. Both controllers hovered into the air, and turned into a cloud of smoke. My controller then fell back to me, and I caught it. “Whoa…” I said admiring on how it looks now. “This thing looks bad ass.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> On the left side of the controller was PlayStation’s D-pad, X-Box’s L1 and 2 buttons, Copy button, Paste button, Delete button and PlayStation’s joy stick. On the right side was GameCube’s R button, PS2’s R2 button, GameCube’s X,Y,A and B buttons, X-box’s joystick, and Sega Genesis’s A, B, and C buttons. In the center were PlayStation’s select button, GameCube’s start button, the switch under both select and start button, and last but not least a screen that displayed a message saying “Congratulations! You fused your controller!”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> I put my controller in my back pocket and looked up at Katie. “So how do you know so much about Game Masters?” I asked. Katie sighed and said “My brother was a Game Master…he taught me everything about Game Masters.” Katie said frowning and tears beginning to form in her eyes. “What happened to him?” I asked. “He was killed by another Game Master a few years back.” Katie said as tears rolled down her cheeks. “I’m so sorry for your loss…” I said frowning. “it’s ok…” Katie said whipping away her tears. “Anyway, what you need to do now is to go back into Super Smash Bros Brawl and train there for a year and a half.” “A year and a half?!” I said in shock. “Is that a problem?” Katie asked with a concerned look on her face.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Yeah it is, my dad back in Devil May Cry has no idea where I am.” I said. “Well do you want to go back into Devil May Cry and see if it’s ok to train in Brawl for a year and a half?” Katie asked. “Yes.” I said. “Ok then, I’ll hook the PlayStation 2 back up so you can go back and tell him.” Katie said as she began to plug up the PlayStation 2. Once everything was hooked up, I turned towards the TV and said “I’ll be right back.” I then slid the switch and was sucked back into the PlayStation 2. “He remind me of my brother…” Katie said once I was gone. Back in Devil May Cry, I appeared back in the same location where I had met Dante years before. “Time to get back to Devil May Cry 3.” I said running out the castles doors. As I was running towards where the game teleporter was, a group of puppets showed up and surrounded me.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Not now!” I yelled as I sliced and shot my way through. I finally reached the game teleporter and set it to take me to Devil May Cry 3. When I appeared back in Devil May Cry 3, I ran to where I last saw Dante and looked all around for him. “Damn he must be back at his crib.” I said running towards its direction. When I reached Dante’s crib, I opened the doors and yelled “Dad!” Dante was sitting in his chair behind his desk eating pizza. “Dontae! Where have you been kid?” He asked getting up and walking towards me. I explained everything to him, and he nodded. “So you want to go train in another game for a year and a half?” Dante asked. “Yeah, so can I?” I asked. “Sure why the hell not, if this is a way for you to become even stronger than be my guest.” Dante said.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Yes!” I cheered. “Just make sure you come back because you still have some unfinished missions that need to be done.” Dante said. “I will dad, and when I come back those missions will be easy as pie.” I said grinning. “Well what are you waiting for kid, go ahead and get training.” Dante said. I smiled warmly at him and gave him a big hug. “I just want you to know dad, that I love you.” I said. Dante was speechless and patted me on the back. I pulled away and said “I’ll be back as soon as I can.” Dante grinned and said “Make me proud kid.” With joy flowing through me, I pressed start and select, and turned into a cloud of smoke. I reappeared back in the living room and Katie said “Ok I have everything set up for you, are you ready?” “I sure am.” I said. “I guess I’ll see you in a year and half.” She said. “I guess so.” I said. I then slid the switch and was sucked back into the Wii.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal">                                                       Chapter 11

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Hello!” I heard a voice say behind me after I had reappeared in Super Smash Bros Brawl in a white plain area. I turned around to see Mario with his huge nose, thick black moustache, red hat with the letter M on it, blue overalls over a red shirt, and brown boots. “Uh…hi.” I said. “It’s a me Mario!” Mario said. “I’m guessing you’re here to train?” “Yep, I sure am.” I said. “Good, good.” Mario said. “Now have you learned any abilities before coming here?” Mario asked. “Abilities?” I asked? “I guess that’s a no.” Mario said. “Ok then, this is how we train.” Mario began. “For the next year and a half, you will learn one move from every character in Brawl.” “Once you have learned that move, your controller will let you know that you’ve learned it.” “For right now you will learn one move from me, and one move from Luigi.” “You must then keep practicing with that move until you master it, and it should take you a month.” “Are you ready to learn your first move?” Mario asked.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “I sure am.” I said grinning. “Ok, choose what move you would like to learn.” Mario said. I stood there staring at him. “Do you know any moves that I do?” Mario asked. “Not at all, I haven’t really played Super Smash Bros Brawl.” I said. Mario nodded and said “Then I’ll tell you what each move does.” Mario explained what all of his B moves do and then said “So which one would you like to learn?” “I’ll learn your Fireball.” I said. “Good choice.” Mario said. He then held up his right hand and shot out a fire ball. My controller then beeped, and I looked at it. ‘Ability learned: Fireball’ I read. “Sweet I learned it!” I said. “Ok now let’s see you do it too.” Mario said. I held up my right hand, and the most unexpected thing happened. Instead of shooting out a fireball, I ended up shooting out a stream of fire.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Whoa!” Mario said in shock. I looked at my hand and said “That wasn’t exactly suppose to happen should it?” I asked. Mario shook his head. “It seems you already have an ability that allows you to control fire.” Mario said. “Seriously?” I asked. “I never noticed it before.” “You might of done one of your Game Masters secret abilities.” Mario said. “Game Master secret ability?” I asked. “Every Game Master when they start out comes with two common abilities, one is super speed and the other is super strength.” “As for the secret ability, every Game Master comes with their own unique ability that they have not yet unlocked.” Mario said. “So your saying that my secret ability may be the ability to control fire?” I asked. Mario nodded. I looked down at my hand again and said “Cool…”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Now instead of shooting out a stream of fire, just try to shoot out a Fireball.” Mario said. I held up my right hand again and focused. A fireball just like Mario’s shot out of my hand and then disappeared. “Hmm…” Mario said. “Usually it would take you awhile to master that move, but since you can control fire, it allows you to do it with no problem.” “Sweet!” I cheered. “So what’s my next move?” I asked. “I’ll have to go get Luigi for you to learn your next one.” Mario said. “Stay here and keep trying out the Fireball.” Mario then stepped on the teleporter pad that was on the other side of the stage and disappeared. Instead of wanting to shoot out fireballs, I decided to shot out streams of fire. Using both hands, I aimed away from me and streams of fire went flying.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Man this is so awesome!” I said jumping in the air and shooting streams of fire towards the ground. I ended up flying around the whole stage using the stream of fire to keep me up. “Wooo!” I cheered. Mario and Luigi than came back through the teleporter and saw me flying around. When I spotted them, I stopped what I was doing and landed on my feet. Mario and Luigi then walked over to me. “Ok Luigi, tell him what each move does.” Mario said looking at Luigi. Luigi explained what each move does and I chose to do his Green Missile attack. Luigi then squatted down, charged up, and shot himself across the stage. My controller beeped again and I looked at it. ‘Ability Learned: Green Missile’ I read.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> I squatted down, began charging up, and shot myself across the stage. When Luigi did Green Missile, he only had a little fire that surround him. When I did it, my whole body was covered in fire and I managed to go farther than he did. “Whoa!” I said when I stopped near the ledge of the stage. I turned around to see Mario and Luigi’s jaw dropped and eyes nearly popping out of their heads. “I guess my ability to control fire had some effect on that move too.” I said laughing. I then ran back over to them and said “So what’s next?” “Sorry, even though it appears you may have mastered those moves you still have to practice them for a month.” Mario said. I frowned and said “That’s a bummer.” So for the next month, I practiced both moves and fully managed to master them.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal">                                                     Chapter 12

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> On August sixth, Mario walked up to me and said “Well Dontae, today you can take a rest but tomorrow you will learn your next two moves.” “Who will I learn them from?” I asked. “Peach and Bowser.” Mario said. “Sweet, I can’t wait to learn my next two moves from them.” I said grinning. The next day came, and I was back in the white room waiting for Peach and Bower so show up. “I hope I learn a fire ability from Bowser.” I said staring at the teleporter. Then I see Peach and Bowser appear on the teleporter, and they head towards me. “Hi.” Peach said smiling. “Yeah hi,” Bowser said grumpily. “So what moves do you want to learn from us?” Peach asked. “I don’t know, could you explain what they are?” I asked. “Sure!” Peach said. After Peach was finished, I chose to bring Toad out.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> She then demonstrated it in front of me and my controller beeped. Knowing what it already says, I tried to do what Peach did. Instead of bringing out Toad, I brought out nothing. Bowser laughed at me and said “Nice, you’re going to defend yourself with nothing.” I frowned, pulled out one of my guns, and held it to his head. Bowser then stopped laughing. “Do you have any fire attacks?” I asked putting away my gun. “Yeah, it’s Fire Breath.” Bowser said. “Cool, I want to learn that move.” I said grinning. Bowser then puffed up his chest and shot out fire from his mouth. When my controller beeped, I puffed up my chest and shot out a fireball the size of a beach ball.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Oh my,” Peach said in shock. After I was finished, I looked over at Bowser who’s mouth had dropped and eyes had opened. “I can control fire.” I said grinning. Bowser crossed his arms and said “So what, I can do that too in another game.” “I don’t know, you seemed pretty shocked when I shot out the large fire ball.” “It almost seemed like you were jealous.” I said grinning. “Hmph!” Bowser said turning his back. “Don’t mind him; he’s just a bit grumpy being around a Game Master.” Peach said. “Is it because he’s a evil boss?” I asked. Peach smiled and nodded. “He’ll get over it.” I said. “Well we’re going to go now; I hope you find some good use with our moves.” Peach said. “I am.” I said. They both stepped on the teleporter and disappeared. I spent another month practicing both moves and finally managed to master them as well.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Instead of going through month to month of what moves I learned, I’ll just show you what moves I learned and what month I learned them from my journal.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;line-height:normal"> Last up was Sonic, after almost a year and a half I got use to learning moves and mastering them pretty quickly. I was now twelve years old, and my hair on the right side of my face had completely covered my scared eye. While I was resting on my break day, Mario walked past me and I stopped him. “So Mario, why do I have to wait a full month to master one of Sonic’s moves?” I asked. Mario smiled and said “You’ll see Dontae, You’ll see.” He then walked away and I stood in place thinking what he meant by that. The next day, I was in the white room trying out all the moves I had learned when Sonic appeared on the teleporter.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;line-height:normal">             “Hey Sonic,” I said. “Hey again Dontae, it’s nice to see you again.” He said. “So are you ready to learn one of my moves?” “Oh yeah!” I said pumped and ready to go. “Great, since you controlled me once before you should know what my moves are already right?” Sonic asked. “I think so,” I said. “Well just in case you forgot, I’ll explain what each move is and what it does.” Sonic said. He then explained all his moves to me and I chose to do his ‘Homing attack.’ Sonic then formed into a ball and shot himself towards the sandbag that was on the other side of the stage. My controller beeped, and I took a look at it. “Now it’s my turn!” I said forming into a ball.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;line-height:normal">             I shot myself towards the sandbag and smacked it high into the air. Then I released myself from a ball and landed on my feet. “Oh yeah!” I cheered. “Great, now all you have to do is practice that move for half a month and your training should be done.” Sonic said. He then walked over to the teleporter and disappeared. For a half of a month, I practiced the ‘Homing Attack’ until I mastered it. While I was resting, Mario came up to me and said “Well Dontae, now it’s time for your final test.” “Are you ready to hear what it is?” “Sure, bring whatever you got on.” I said. “You will be competing in Tourney, and will be fighting everyone you learned moves from since you’ve been here.” Mario said.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;line-height:normal">             I grinned and said “Awesome, I can’t wait.” “Good, we will begin tomorrow.” “Get a good night’s rest.” Mario said as he walked away. I cracked my neck and said “This is going to be easy.” The next day, I went into the tournament area and sat in the waiting room until I was called. Mario then came up to me and said “Well Dontae, I hope you’re ready for a fight, because your first challenger is me.” “Oh I am ready, I just hope you are.” I said grinning. Mario grinned back and left out of the waiting room. Ten minutes later a voice over the intercom said “Dontae please report to the teleporter so you may begin your match.” I stood up, walked over to the teleporter, and disappeared.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;line-height:normal">                                                             Chapter 13

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> When I reappeared, I was on the Pokémon Stadium 2 stage surrounded by thousands of cheering people. “Whoa…” I said looking around at the tiny colorful dots. “Dontae’s first contestant is Mario!” the announcer said. Mario then appeared on the other side of the stage and did his taunt that makes him grow larger. “May the fight begin!” the announcer said. I clenched my fist, and ran straight at Mario preparing myself to do ‘Warlock Punch.’ Mario stood in place and waited for me to get near him. Once I was close enough to him, Mario brought out his cape and turned me around. He then went to punch me in the back, but I quickly used ‘Thunder’ and shocked the crap out of him.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Mario flew back a few feet and then caught himself. He then shot fireballs at me and I used ‘Reflector’ to reflect them back at him. When they disappeared, Mario jumped high into the air and came down at me ready to punch me. I brought out my sword and blocked his attack. Mario jumped a few feet back and stared at me as he was breathing hard. I put my sword away, and took out my guns. Then I began shooting out dozens of Wolf’s ‘Blaster’ attacks. Mario quickly jumped out of the way, and used his cape to reflect them back at me. With my attacks coming back to me, I jumped high into the air and curled up into a ball. I then flew at Mario at top speed and hit him in the face.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Mario then flew out of the stages area and disappeared. “Winner!” I heard the announcer yell. “Wow that quick?” I asked. “I didn’t even break a sweat.” For the past three hours, I faced character after character and finally got down to the last one. The last character I had to face was Sonic, and I knew that I was going to enjoy kicking his ass. “I hope you’re ready Dontae, because I’m extremely fast.” Sonic said after he appeared on stage with me. “Yeah yeah yeah, let’s just get this over with.” I said smiling. “Ready…!” “Go!” The announcer said. Sonic ran at me with full speed, and I prepared myself with a Falcon Kick. When Sonic was close enough, I took off with my foot flying at him and fire covering my entire body yelling “Falcon Kick!”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Sonic grinned and jumped over my head. He then curled up into a ball and hit me in the back. I fell face first on the stage and yelled “Ow!” “You’re too slow!” I heard Sonic say behind me. “Grr…” I growled. I picked myself up off the ground, and squatted down. When I was fully charged, I shot myself towards Sonic and hit him in the chest. Sonic flew back a few feet, and landed on his feet. As he was rubbing his chest, I took out my sword and used ‘Spin Attack.’ Sonic saw me coming at him with it, and jumped high into the air using ‘Spring Jump.’ He then came down at me kicking me in the face. I slid across the stage with my sword in the ground trying to stop myself. When I finally stopped sliding, I pulled out my sword, knelt down, and pulled out a huge rocket launcher.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> I shot out a missile at Sonic and began controlling it. Sonic began running all over the place trying to dodge the missile, and trying to get close to me so he can punch me. Once Sonic had gotten close to me, I let the missile drop, took out my sword, and used ‘Dolphin Slash.’ The attack hit him so hard, that he flew across the stage and hit the ground. I quickly ran over to him, and held my sword up. My entire body was surrounded by fire as I charged up ‘Eruption.’ Before Sonic could realize what was going on, I drove the sword into the ground and the explosion from the impact sent Sonic flying out of the stage area.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Winner!” the announcer yelled. I pulled my sword from out of the ground, and looked up at the crowd with my arms in the air. After Tourney was over, I left Pokémon Stadium 2 and sat down in the waiting room to catch my breath. Mario and every character I had just fought came into the waiting room with me and stood in front of me. “Congratulations Dontae, you have passed your final test.” Mario said. “We would like for you to have this.” Mario took out a small trophy of me holding my sword on my back, and handed it to me. “Cool…” I said admiring myself. “You even got my scar on the right eye, and my guns in my gun holster.” I looked up at Mario and said “Thanks.” “You’re very welcome,” “Now that your all finished here, you may now return home.” Mario said. “Sweet, but I think I’ll stay for one more night so I can rest up.” I said. “That’s fine with me.” Mario said as he and the others left. I looked back down at my trophy and said “I can’t wait until dad sees this.” The next morning, I said my goodbyes to everyone and left.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal">                                            Chapter 14

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Hey Katie! I’m back!” I yelled when I reappeared in her living room. There was no answer. “Hello? Is anyone here?” I asked as I began to walk towards the kitchen. Then a man with curly red hair, green eyes, and freckles on both of his cheeks walked out of the kitchen. “You’re Dontae right?” he asked. “Yeah…” I said trying to figure out who he was. “My name is Jeff, I’m Katie’s husband.” “If you’re looking for my wife, I’m afraid she’s not here…” Jeff said frowning. “Where is she?” I asked. “While you were gone, Katie was in a severe car accident and didn’t make it….” Jeff said sadly. Shock overwhelmed me and I began to tear up.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “She was such a nice person…” I said whipping the tears from my cheeks. “I’m sorry for your loss.” “Thanks,” Jeff said smiling. “Oh yeah she wanted me to give you this.” Jeff pulled out a folded piece of paper and a handheld controller that looked as if a Nintendo DS and A PSP were mixed. “It’s been lying on our dresser since you left.” Jeff said. I took the note and handheld controller from Jeff and opened the note. ‘Dear Dontae,’ I began to read. ‘Like I told you before you left, I was going to write a note explaining what the SD controller does. I figured since you’ll be in Brawl for the past year and a half that you would find out yourself. So instead this note to you is to explain how to fuse the PSDS controller to your controller.’

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> I took out my controller and kept reading. ‘To fuse the PSDS controller to your controller, all you have to do is hold the X and Y buttons on your controller like before. Then on the PSDS controller go into the menu and choose the fuse option. It should say on the screen to ‘Touch the controllers now.’ Do as it says and let the controller do what they did last time.’ I put the note to the side, turned on the PSDS, chose the fusion option, and it said ‘Touch the controllers now.’ Then I held the X and Y buttons on my controller and had both controllers touch. Together they hovered into the air and turned into a cloud of smoke.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> My controller then fell back to me and I caught it. “Whoa…” “It looks even more badass than before.” I said studying it. On the left side of my controller was the grip that you would hold onto like a normal controller, PlayStation’s joystick, Nintendo DS D-pad, GameCube’s L button, PlayStation’s L2 button, copy, paste, delete button, and the PS button that was from the PSP. Then on the right side of my controller was the A, B, X, and Y buttons from the GameCube, square, triangle, circle, and X buttons from the PSP, A, B, and C buttons from the Sega controller, GameCube’s R button, PlayStation’s R2 button, and PSP’s start and select button. Finally in the middle of the controller were two large screens. The top screen was from the Nintendo DS and the bottom screen was the PSP’s, under the screens was the switch and X-box’s joystick.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Why so many button?” I asked looking up at Jeff. Jeff shrugged and said “I guess that’s just the way it is.” “Oh ok…” I said. “So what’s your next step?” Jeff asked. “Well…since now I can come back to Planet Raeth whenever I want, I guess I’ll go find a place to live.” I said. “I know the perfect place you can live at.” Jeff said. “Where?” I asked. “There’s an old dome house just eight blocks from here, it’s been abandoned for years.” Jeff said. “Cool! Does it have any power running through the place?” I asked. “I think so…” Jeff said. “Great! I’m going to head there now!” I said beginning to run out of the house. I then stopped and turned back to Jeff. “One more thing, do you think I can have the PlayStation 2 that I came out of?” I asked.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Sure, just let me unhook it and it’ll be all yours” Jeff said walking towards the TV. “I would also like Devil May Cry as well, I need it so I can be able to go see my dad.” I said. Jeff unhooked the PlayStation 2 and took Devil May Cry off the TV and handed it to me. “Thank you sir.” I said turning back to the front door. “Hey wait!” Jeff said stopping me. I turned back to him and saw him digging into his pants pockets. “Here,” He said holding out two hundred Raeth dollars. “This should help you.” I took the money from his hand, smiled, and said “Thanks a lot Jeff.” Finally I walked out the front door, and began heading to the dome house.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal">                                                Chapter 15

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> After I had walked for several minutes, I found the abandoned dome house. It was boarded up and had a ‘Do not enter’ sign above the door. “Nice, my new home.” I said walking up to the door. The door had boards on it that was in the form of an X. I tore off the boards with one hand and went inside. There was spider webs everywhere, dust all over the floor, and parts of the floor was missing. “I can get this place cleaned up in no time.” I said grinning. I then noticed a rectangular object that was on the other side of the room with a sheet covering it. “There’s no way that this is a plasma TV.” I said walking over to it and grabbing on to the sheet.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> When I pulled the sheet off, I uncovered a plasma TV that looked almost brand new. “No way…” I said smiling. “What would be even cooler is to found a couch in here as well.” I said looking around. Then I spotted a blue couch that was covered with boards, bricks, and dust. “Awesome!” I cheered running over to the couch. Picking up the couch, I knocked all the stuff that was on it to the floor and carried the couch in front of the TV. “Man I’m lucky for finding this stuff.” I said. “Now to hook the PlayStation 2 up and go see dad.” I placed the PlayStation 2 on the floor and hooked everything up, then I put Devil May Cry in and slid the switch.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> My body turned into a cloud of smoke, and I was sucked into the PlayStation 2. Again I appeared in the same spot where I had met Dante before. I ran out of the front doors of the castle and headed towards the game teleporter. After I was sent to Devil May Cry 3, I ran to Dante’s crib and walked through the doors. “Dontae!” Dante said surprised when I came into his crib. “Hey dad.” I said smiling. “What happened to your hair?” Dante asked as he walked up to me. “I let it grow out.” I said. “Looks cool,” He said. “So what new moves have you learned since you’ve been gone?” “I learned a lot.” I said. “I’ll fight some demons so I can show you.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Sounds good to me.” Dante said. When then went outside and for the next hour I showed Dante every single move that I learned from Brawl. “Damn…” Dante said grinning. “Now you can go through your missions like they were nothing.” “I have one more thing to show you.” I said. “What’s that?” Dante asked. I closed my eyes and focused my energy to surround me. All of a sudden my entire body was on fire, and I had flames in my hands. “Whoa!” Dante said in shock. “What was that?” “I call it pyrokinesis.” I said. “It’s something I managed to develop while I was in Brawl.” While I was in Brawl, I was toying around with my ability to control fire and ended up covering myself with it. While I’m in my pyrokinesis, any fire attacks that I do become a lot stronger and will burn anything it touches faster.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> I learned pyrokinesis on one of my break days. “What can you do with it?” Dante asked. “Well any fire attack that I do, it can make it stronger and burn anything it touches faster.” I explained. “Nice kid.” Dante said. “So when can I get back to my missions?” I asked. “Well, I counted how many missions you have left and you have only ten left.” Dante said. “Seriously?!” I asked surprised. “Yep, once you finish those ten, then I’ll have no more missions for you.” Dante said. “Sweet!” I said happily. “Let’s get started!” Nine missions later, Dante and I were heading up the large tower that was in the middle of the city.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “So my last mission is to fight Vergil?” I asked. “Yep, I hope you’re ready to fight him.” Dante said. “Oh I’m ready all right.” I said forming a flame in my hand. When we reached the top of the tower, Vergil was waiting with his sword in his hand. “Here to face me again brother?” He asked. “Not this time.” Dante said. Vergil had a surprised look on his face and said “Oh so Dontae’s going to fight for you huh?” “Damn right!” I said. “How pathetic,” Vergil said grinning. “You can’t be serious Dante, letting this fool fight me!” “Watch what you say!” I yelled angrily. “Or I’ll make your death a lot more painful!” Vergil laughed and said “I’d like to see you try.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> I went into my pyrokinesis stage and disappeared. Vergil was looking left and right trying to find me. I then appeared behind him, and falcon kicked him in the back. “Yaarrghh!” Vergil cried in pain as the fire on his back began to burn. He patted the fire out, and spun around towards me swinging his sword. I pulled my sword out and blocked him. “You troublesome child!” He yelled angrily. I grinned and punched him in the gut using ‘Warlock Punch.’ Vergil stepped back holding his stomach and couched up blood. “Now who’s pathetic?” I asked grinning. Vergil clenched his sword and took another swing at me yelling “Bastard!” I dodged his attack and used ‘Force Palm.’ Vergil was sent flying across the tower and landed on the ground.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “You have been nothing but problems for me and my dad!” I yelled as I walked over to him. “Now I’m going to kill you!” I stepped on his head and held up my sword. As I began to charge up ‘Eruption,’ I began to think that even though Vergil is evil he’s still somewhat family to me. I slowly lowered my sword, and put it back on my back. “What are you doing Dontae?! Finish him!” Dante screamed. “I can’t…” I said. “Why the hell not?!” Date asked. “Because even though he’s a evil dick, he’s still somewhat family to me.” I said. As I began to walk back towards Dante, Vergil lifted himself up, grabbed his sword, and drove it through my back.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Fool!” Vergil said laughing. “Dontae!” Dante yelled as he ran towards me. Vergil pulled his sword out of me, and I fell to my hands and knees. “Vergil you’ll pay for this!” Dante yelled as he went Devil Trigger. Dante was surrounded in a red energy, his jacket had turned fully red and scaly, his pants were red with large black stripes that came up to his waist, his feet had long nails, his chest was black, he had black gloves on with nails coming out of them, his head was now covered with a demon like face that had horns coming down the side, and he now had yellow eyes and sharp teeth. Dante pulled out his sword and went to strike at Vergil.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Vergil held up his sword and blocked Dante’s attack. As they were fighting it out, my controller beeped and I pulled it out to look at it. ‘Ability Learned: Devil Trigger’ I read. A smile crossed my face, and all of a sudden my scar on my eye began to burn. “Aaaahhh!” I yelled in pain as I held my scar. I could feel my whole body begin to change as I rolled around on the ground. Then I looked down at my hands and saw my nails begin to grow. “What’s happening to me?!” I yelled. A black energy then surrounded my body, and I could feel something growing out from my head. I placed my hands on my head and felt small horns growing.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Oh no…it’s the blood Vergil put in me!” “It’s turning me into a demon!” I yelled. The wound that Vergil made in my back through my chest had fully healed. My arms began to grow scales on them, and my teeth began to grow long. “Aaaaahhhh!” I cried still in pain from the transformation. Once the pain had vanished, I could feel myself being taken over by another being. I watched as the other being picked myself up off the ground, and let out a loud roar. The horns on my head had grown upwards, my nails were as long as daggers, my teeth were as sharp as the end of a blade, my eyes had turned red, my entire body was covered in red and black scales, wings had grown on my back, with my hat still on my head, my hair had turned black, and toenails had grown long as well.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Not able to control myself, I vanished and appeared behind Vergil. Vergil quickly turned around with his sword in the air and yelled “I’m not falling for this again!” As soon as I appeared, I stopped Vergil’s sword in midair. Dante, behind Vergil, drove his sword into Vergil’s back. Vergil’s eyes went wide and he fell to the ground. “Nice job kid!” Dante said giving me thumbs up. Still unable to control myself, I drove my hand through Dante’s chest and pulled out his heart. Dante began coughing up blood, and fell to his knees. “Why kid…why…?” Dante said as he held his chest and stared down at Vergil. I began to laugh.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Dante noticed Vergil’s sword in his hand, and took it from him. As I was still laughing, Dante said “Sorry about this kid…” and sliced opened my right eye. I pushed Dante as hard as I could, and held my right eye screaming. Blood gushed from my eye, and I my Devil Trigger went away. I then began to fall forwards, and Dante caught me in time. “I got you kid.” Dante said as he picked me up and began carrying me back to his crib. Four hours later I was lying in bed asleep. I slowly opened my eyes and noticed that my right eye was covered. As I sat up, I felt my right eye and could feel that it was patched up. “Ow…” I said rubbing it. Dante then came into the room and said “Hey kid take it easy, you don’t want the stitches to reopen do you?” I took my hand away from my face and said “What happened?”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Well while I was fighting Vergil, you ended up going Devil Trigger.” “We took him out together, and then you ripped out my heart.” Dante said. “Oh…” I said remembering everything. “I stopped you by cutting your eye again because I figured that if it were to be cut again it would take you out of your Devil Trigger state.” Dante said. “Well it worked.” I said grinning. “And man does it hurt.” “I know what would make it feel better.” Dante said. “What’s that?” I asked. “Some pizza.” Dante said grinning. “Sweet!” I said happily. After we had eaten pizza and messed around with some demons that were outside, I pulled out my controller and said “Well dad, I’m going to go back to Raeth so I can go to different video games and learn different abilities.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “That’s a bummer you’re leaving me.” Dante said. “I know dad, but I can’t stay in Devil May Cry forever.” I said. “Yeah I know, but you better come by and visit me once in awhile.” Dante said grinning. “I will dad.” I said giving him a hug. Dante patted me on the back and I said “I love you dad.” Dante began to tear up but shook it away. I looked up at him and said “Were you about to cry?” “No way kid, Devils never cry.” Dante said. “Mmmhmm…” I said knowing that he was about to cry. I pulled away from him and said “Well dad I’ll see you later.” “See ya kid.” Dante said. I pressed start and then select, and I turned into a cloud of smoke. When I reappeard back in the house I was staying in, I got up and headed out the door saying “Time to buy some games, consoles, and pizza with the money Jeff gave me.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal">                                                 Chapter 16

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> An hour and a half later, I came through the door of my new home carrying a large stack of games, a bag with different game systems, and lots of pizza. “It was nice seeing Jeff again at his game store.” I said. I set the stack of games, bag of consoles, and pizza to the side and sat down on my couch. “Hmm…what game should I go into?” I asked myself as I looked through the stack of games that were beside the couch. “I think I’ll go into this one.” I said taking Kingdom Hearts from the pile. I stuck it in the PlayStation 2, slid the switch, and disappeared into the PlayStation 2. When I appeared in the game, my eyes were closed and it felt like I was falling. I heard a faint voice in the background say “I’ve been having theses weird thoughts lately…” There was a pause and the voice then said “Like is any of this for real…? Or not?” Once the voice had stopped, I opened my eyes to find Sora falling with me.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Hey kid!” I said. There was no answer. I sighed and looked down to see what we were falling towards. Below us was a large mass of water. “Time to go swimming.” I said just before I landed in the water. I began to sink deeper and deeper into the water and the more I sunk the darker it got. My body was then flipped around and I landed on my feet. I went to take a step and the floor below me began to peel. There was wind blowing up in my face and all around me was little white birds flying up in the air. I pulled out my guns and said “Oh yeah! Target practice!” Shooting rapidly, I shot about a dozen birds until I was stopped by a voice that said “So much to do, so little time…” “Take your time, don’t be afraid.” Three square stones with a sword, shield, and staff then appeared in front of me.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> The voice then said “If you give it form…it will give you strength. Choose well.” “Strength huh?” I said grinning. I walked up to the sword and grabbed it. “I think I’ll choose this one.” I said. Then I walked over to the shield and grabbed it. “And this one…” Finally I walked over to the staff and grabbed it. “That should do it.” I said. “You may only choose two, put one back.” The voice said. “Piss off.” I said pressing start and select. I turned into a cloud of smoke and appeared back in my house. My controller beeped and I looked at it. “Weapon customizer” I read. “Hmm…if it’s what I think it is than hell yeah!” I said happily. I opened up the ‘Weapon customizer’ option and my controller projected the three weapons I had just gotten from Kingdom Hearts.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “This sword is going to be so kickass.” I said grinning. I spent five minutes making my controller, and finally finished. My new sword was two sword put together with the grip area in the middle, if I wanted to separate them all I had to do was twist the swords in opposite directions once until it made a click sound. Another cool feature to them is that if I twist it in opposite directions twice they would be connected with a chain. My sword was being displayed in front of me and I wanted to bring it out. “Hmm…how do I bring you out?” I asked looking at the screen on my controller. On the screen it said ‘Press the A button to bring it out.’ “Oh that’s easy” I said hitting the GameCube’s A button.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> My controller turned into a cloud of smoke in my hands and the sword I made appeared in its place. “Aww yeah…” I said admiring its beauty. “I’m going to try this out right now!” I got up from the couch and ran out the door. Instead of practicing my new sword out front and scaring people, I went to the back of the house instead. I found a huge tree in the backyard and swung at it hitting it with one side of the blade then the other. “This is ok with it together, but I bet when they’re separated it’ll be even better.” I said twisting my sword until I heard a click sound. I was now holding both of my swords in each hand and began striking at the tree.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> After thirty minutes of striking the tree until there was barley nothing left, I stuck my swords back together and twisted it in the same direction as before until it clicked. “Now to see how the chain works.” I said as I pulled the swords apart and a long chain came from the two of them. As I was getting some distance from the tree, I began swinging one of my swords in the air like I was about to lasso a bull. With all my might, I swung my sword at the tree and it cut clean through as if it were butter. The tree then began to tip over and fell in the opposite direction of me and the house. “Oh yeah!” I cheered when the tree hit the ground. I pulled my sword back in towards me and stuck my swords back together. “Time for some pizza.” I said heading back into the house.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal">                                             Chapter 17

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> While I was eating my pizza, I looked though my stack of games and took out Naruto. “I wonder what Naruto is like.” I said crunching on my pizza. I finished eating my slice of pizza, and stuck it in my PlayStation 2. “I’ll take a slice with me.” I said grabbing another slice of pizza from the pizza box that was beside me. I slid the switch, and disappeared into the PlayStation 2. When I appeared, I took a bite of my pizza and looked around at the buildings that surrounded me. “Nice…” I said. “Saskue-kun!” I heard a girl voice behind me say. When I turned around, I was hugged by a girl with pink hair and       eyes. Sweet… I thought to myself as I smiled. The girl realized that I wasn’t who she was looking for, and pulled away.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “I’m terribly sorry, I thought you were someone else.” The girl said with her eyes closed and was rubbing the back of her head. When she opened her eyes she was shocked to see what I looked like. Her face turned bright red, and she grabbed my hands. “Umm…hi, I’m Sakura.” “What’s your name?” Sakura asked staring deep into my eyes. “Dontae,” I said smiling. “Sakura-chan!” said a voice from behind Sakura. Sakura turned around to see a kid with spiky yellow hair and blue eyes running towards us. He then tripped up on a tree root and landed face first in front of Sakura. “Typical Naruto,” Sakura said rolling her eyes. Naruto picked himself up and said “Sorry Sakura-chan” as he was blushing and rubbing the back of his head.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Naruto noticed me and said “Who’s he?” “This is Dontae, we were just about to go out on a date until you ruined it!” Sakura yelled. Naruto gave me a evil look then looked back at Sakura and coward. “I would love to go on that date, but I’m just here to fight Naruto.” I said. “Aww…” Sakura said disappointed. “Really?” Naruto asked. “Yeah, I want to see what you’re made of.” I said grinning. Naruto turned to Sakura and said “It’s ok Sakura-chan, I’ll take Dontae’s place as your date.” Sakura clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. “Not in your life time!” Sakura said punching Naruto in the face. Naruto fell to the ground with a bloody nose, and Sakura stormed off. “She does have a nice ass…” I said as I stared at her ass while she walked away.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Naruto jumped to his feet and said “So you want to fight me huh?” “I hope you know I won’t go easy on you.” “Neither will I.” I said grinning. “Follow me, I know the perfect spot where we can fight.” Naruto said as he began running. I followed behind him and ran alongside him. A minute later, we came into a clearing that was surrounded by woods. “Nice,” I said looking around. “Ready when you are.” Naruto said getting into fighting position. I cracked my neck and said “Ready,” In an instant, Naruto crossed his index finger and middle finger with his other index finger and middle finger and said “Shadow Clone Jutsu!” Another Naruto appeared beside the real one.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> My controller beeped, and I said “Yeah yeah I know.” I did the same as Naruto did, and a clone of myself appeared beside me. Looking over at myself, I said “Looking good man.” The clone of me grinned and said “You too man.” We both laughed and focused back on Naruto. The real Naruto had his hand in front of the clone, and the clone was forming a ball that looked like wind in his hand. I looked at my clone and said “Let’s try that too.” I held out my hand in front of the clone and a ball of fire began to take form. Once Naruto had finished, he ran at me with his hand facing me and yelled “Rasengan!” I finished as well, and ran at him with my hand facing at him. When our attacks hit, it sent us flying backwards.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> We both stopped ourselves by dragging our hands and feet against the ground. I pulled out my controller and turned my controller into my sword. Then I twisted it once until it clicked and my swords came apart. Naruto pulled out two shuriken and held them in fighting position. I ran at him with my sword raised in the air, and Naruto did the same. When we got close enough, we blocked each other and held in place. Then out of nowhere, a clone of Naruto busted through the ground and punched me in the jaw. I stepped back rubbing my jaw and said “Sneaky bastard.” Naruto grinned and took another swing at me with his shuriken. I blocked once again, and twisted one of his shuriken out of his hand.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> It fell a few feet away from us, and I held my sword up to Naruto’s throat. “I can kill you if I wanted to.” I said grinning. Naruto then pulled out another shuriken and smacked my sword away from his throat. He then jumped back and rubbed his neck. “Didn’t see that coming did you?” he asked smiling. “I did, I let you smack my sword away.” I said. Naruto then made more clones of himself, and they all charged at me with their fists in the air. When they were close enough, I used ‘Spin Attack’ and began mowing them down with both of my swords. I stopped myself when I reached the last Naruto, and had both my swords in a scissor form at Naruto’s throat.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Give up?” I asked. Naruto sighed and said “Yeah I give up.” I pulled my swords away from his neck and clicked my swords back together. “That wasn’t much of a fight.” I said. “Don’t worry, next time you won’t get so lucky.” Naruto said with his fists in front of him. “Yeah right,” I said. “Well my pizza back home is getting cold, so I’m going to go now.” I turned my sword back into my controller and presses start and select. Once I was back on my couch in my house, I grabbed another slice of pizza and took a bite. “Damn it, it did get cold.” I said frowning.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal">                                              Chapter 18

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Five days later as I looked through the collection of games I had, I came across inFAMOUS and stuck it in my PlayStation 3 that I had bought. “Having electric powers would be interesting.” I said looking at the cover of the case. I slid the switch and disappeared into the PlayStation 3. When I reappeared in the game, I was surrounded by tall buildings and people as they walked down the sidewalk. “On the back of the case, it said that this is Empire City” I said looking around. “Now I wonder where I can find Cole at.” I began walking down the sidewalk, until I heard a scream. Wondering why someone was screaming, I ran towards the screaming and found a woman in a corner with three guys in red hoodies holding guns at her.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Hey!” I yelled at them. They turned to me and began shooting. I quickly turned my controller into my sword, and stopped all of their bullets. “Prepare to die!” I yelled as I twisted my swords and they came apart. Again they began shooting at me, and as I came close to them I blocked all of their bullets. I swung my sword at one of them, and he disappeared. Turning to the other two I said “You’re next.” Ignoring what I said, they pointed their guns at me and just as they were about to fire, Cole dropped from off of the building and sent a electric pulse through their bodies. As they were stunned, Cole with his short brown hair, blue eyes, yellow and black jacket, gray pants, yellow and black sneakers, and a one strap backpack on his back began punching the living hell out of them.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> The two guys in re hoodies fell to the ground and didn’t move. “Hey man I was going to kick their ass!” I yelled. Cole turned to me and said “Yeah? And who are you?” “The name’s Dontae, and I’m a Game Master.” I said grinning. “Oh really?” “A Game Master?” He said crossing his arms. “This is the first time meeting a Game Master.” “So why are you here?” “I decided to stop by and maybe learn one of your abilities.” I said. Cole snickered and said “Sure, but you’ll have to help me on one of my missions.” I sighed because I had just got finished on my missions in Devil May Cry, and now I have to do one in this game. “Yeah whatever, so what is it that you need?” I asked.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Well I’m about to face Kessler, he’s been a thorn in my side since I’ve gotten these powers.” Cole said. “Whoever he is, he’ll have a tough time facing me.” I said grinning. “That’s good, anyway I need to meet him where I first discovered my powers.” Cole said. “You think you can catch up to me?” “I’m a Game Master dude, of course I can catch up to you.” I said. “Alright then, let’s go!” Cole said as he began climbing up the building he just came down from. Using ‘Fire Bird,’ I began to shoot myself up the building and landed on top of the roof just as Cole made it up top.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “It’s this way, follow me.” Cole said jumping into the air and landing on the next building beside the one we were on. I ran towards the building Cole landed on and used ‘Rocketbarrel Boost.’ Cole and I jumped from building to building until we both came into a opening with a large crater in the ground, and a small piece of land in the middle. “There he is,” Cole said pointing at a guy with hoodie over his bald head, blue eyes, tan jacket, mechanical torso with blue lights running down his sides, tan pants and black boots that was standing on the small piece of land. “He doesn’t look so tough.” I said grinning. “Appearance is nothing, this guy is stronger than you think.” Cole said as we walked up to him.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “And here we are, back where it all started.” Kessler said. “I was so worried you weren’t going to live through the blast, but you’re fine, more than fine actually.” “I remember your voice now, you were there when the bomb went off.” Cole said. “I’ve always been there Cole, every step of your life.” Kessler said. He then teleported below us and Cole and I dropped down off the piece of land after him. Kessler began teleporting towards us at rapid speed and when he was close enough to us, he made dirt fly into the air by swinging his arm. Cole and I dodged to the side, and Cole began shooting out blue ‘Lightning Bolts.’ For some odd reason my controller didn’t pick it up.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> All of a sudden, Kessler punched the ground and sent a shockwave of dirt flying towards us. I jumped as high as I could in the air, but Cole was hit and knocked to the ground. Kessler teleported in front of him and began charging something in the middle of his chest. With his arms bent behind him, he shot his hands towards Cole and a large white lightning bolt came from his chest. I ran as fast as I could over to Kessler, but when I got close to him he swung his arm and dirt flew at me. The white lightning bolt hit Cole, and sent him flying into the air then landing back on the piece of land. I transformed my controller into my sword, and again ran at Kessler.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Kessler swung his arm and made dirt fly at me, but using my sword like a poll volt, I flew into the air and had my sword flying towards Kessler’s head. Kessler quickly blocked with his arm that was mechanical as well. With one free hand, Kessler shot a lightning bolt at me and sent me flying into the air. I caught myself by shooting fire from my hands and landing slowly to the ground. When I got up, I saw Cole and Kessler holding each other’s arms trying to place their hand on each other’s face. Kessler over powered Cole, and grabbed him by the face. There was a blue flash, and Cole fell to the ground. “Oh crap! I better go help him out!” I said beginning to run towards him. “Get your hands off of him!” A chunky guy with short black hair, black sunglasses, black jacket, and gray pants said as he shot Kessler four times.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> He began walking toward Kessler and Cole and said “Cole make a run for it! I’ll take care of this gas bag!” “This doesn’t concern you fat man!” Kessler said as he blew him away with a gust of wind and dirt. Cole stood up and began shooting lightning bolts at Kessler, while he was dodging every attack I began running up behind him. I threw back my arm and punched him as hard as I could in the back using ‘Warlock Punch.’ Kessler went flying into the air and crashed into a car that was on the other side of the crater. “Nice one” Cole said looking at me and grinning. Kessler picked himself up off the ground and teleported to the piece of land that was in the middle of the crater.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Is that the best you can do?” Kessler asked as he held up his hand and made three small flying robots appear. “This should be easy,” I said grinning as a gripped my sword. The robots flew towards us and began throwing grenades. As one was flying towards me I used ‘Reflector’ and reflected it back. The grenade exploded and the robot fell to the ground in pieces. Cole continued shooting lightning bolts at Kessler, while I had fun with the robots. “Over here you little bastards.” I said holding a grenade behind my back. The last two remaining robots charged towards me, and I threw the grenade between them. The grenade went off, and both robots exploded. I turned around to Kessler and Cole, and saw them holding each other’s arms again on the piece of land.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> This time Cole overpowered Kessler and shocked Kessler’s face. When Kessler was dazed, Cole held back his fist and punched him in the jaw. Kessler fell back and landed on the ground. “Die!” Cole yelled as he made a large lightning bolt come from the sky and strike Kessler. All of a sudden my controller beeped and a grin crossed my face. After the lightning had stopped, Cole jumped down to him and stared at him smiling. “Trish…I love you…please forgive me.” Kessler said as blood dripped from his mouth. Then he grabbed Cole’s face and they stood there for about a minute or two until Kessler fell to the ground dead. “You okay?” I asked.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Cole’s fist were balled up and turned away from Kessler. “I will never become like you.” Cole said. I walked over to Kessler’s body and took his hoodie off of his head. “Whoa…” I said realizing who it really was. “It’s you Cole.” Looking up I saw that Cole had disappeared and I was alone with Kessler’s or Cole’s body. “Oh well, time to head back home for pizza!” I said pulling out my controller and pressing the start and select buttons. When I appeared back in my house, I got up and stuck a pizza in the electric oven I found days earlier. Ten minutes later I took out the pizza and carried it outside.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “I want to see what this lightning bolt does.” I said grabbing a slice of pizza and holding up one hand towards a tree in my backyard. A dark cloud formed above the tree and thunder began to boom. “Sweet…” I said taking a bit of my pizza. I then bent my fingers down, and a large blue lightning bolt struck the tree. In an instant, the tree caught on fire. “Now I just need some marshmallows.” I said grinning. Taking another bite of my pizza, I headed back inside my house.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal">                                               Chapter 19

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Three years and seven months go by, and I’m sitting in my Devil May Cry bean bag with Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock   on my TV screen. Not much happened during those three years, sure I went into a few games here and there but there was nothing I wanted to learn. I’m going into Guitar Hero to have some fun rocking out with the bands in the game. “I wonder if I could get my own Guitar as well.” I said grinning. I slid the switch and was sucked into my X-box 360. When I reappeared, I was back stage of one of the bands concert. On stage I could hear the band singing “Ride the Lightning” by Metallica. “Sweet, I’ve always wanted to be back stage and this close to a live concert.” I said as I watched the band on stage perform. When the song had ended, the band put down their instruments, said they were going to take a break, and began walking towards me.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Who are you?” asked the lead singer when he and his band entered the back stage. The lead singer has long brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a blue vest with black and red sleeves, and blue jeans with holes in it. “I’m Dontae, I’m here to see if I could perform with you guys. “Hmm…” “You’re a Game Master aren’t you?” He asked. “Yeah.” I said holding up my controller. “My name is Axel Steel.” Axel said. “What instrument do you play?” I thought about it for a second and said “Guitar.” Axel then picked up a guitar and tossed it to me. “Here, you can use this one.” I caught it with one hand, and stared at it. “What song are you going to sing next?” I asked as I put the strap around my neck. ‘“How you remind me’ by Nickleback.” Axel said. “Do you know the notes?” “Yeah.” I said grinning. For the past three years, not only have I been going into different games, I’ve also been studying guitar notes from different bands.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Alright then! Let’s rock!” Axel said as we all headed out on stage. We all got into position, and waited for the crowd to go silent. Then I started playing the notes as Axel began singing. “Never made it as a wise man.” “I couldn’t cut it as a poor man stealing.” “Tired of living like a blind man.” “I’m sick of sight without a sense of feeling.” “And this is how you remind me.” Axel sang. After the song had ended, the band and I went back stage. “That was some amazing playing Dontae.” Axel said. “Thanks,” I said grinning. “You can have the guitar.” Axel said. “You’ve earned it.” I looked down at the guitar and said “Sweet, I always wanted my own guitar.” I then pulled out my controller and said “Well it was awesome playing with you guys.” “Come back any time to rock with us.” Axel said. I then turned into a cloud of smoke and reappeared in my bean bag.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “This thing is a beauty” I said admiring my new guitar. For two minutes I sat in my bean bag staring at my guitar, then I remembered that my dad has a guitar as well that has some amazing abilities. “Time to go visit dad and show him my new guitar.” I said putting in Devil May Cry 3. “Maybe I can learn some moves from him.” I slid the switch and was sucked into my PlayStation 2. When I arrived inside Devil May Cry 3, I opened the door of his crib and said “I’m back!” “Well I’ll be damn, if it isn’t Dontae.” Dante said. “How you been kiddo?” “I’ve been great.” I said grinning. “And look I got myself a guitar.” I pulled out my guitar and held it up. “Nice, she’s a beauty.” Dante said examining my guitar. “I was hoping you could teach me a few moves with it.” I said. “Sure kid, let me go get my guitar real quick and we can get started.” Dante said turning around and heading back to his desk.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> An hour and a half later, I had learned everything Dante knew with my guitar. Before I had the Legendary controller I was only allowed a certain amount of abilities from one character, but now with the Legendary controller I can learn up to how many I want. I then searched the area for a group of enemies to kill. “There’s some!” I said happily when I turned the corner. Running towards them screaming “Let’s rock!”, I pulled out my guitar and began playing notes. A purple electric aura surrounded me with bats coming out. The enemies I hit got electrocuted and disappeared. I turned to another group of enemies and repeatedly began playing the same notes. Three to four groups of bats in a purple electric aura came out and separately hit each enemy. “That’s what I’m talking about!” I cheered with a grin on my face.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “You handled them with ease.” Dante said grinning. “Yeah and its all thanks to you.” I said giving him thumbs up and smiling. Then I remembered that I never showed dad my new sword. “Oh yeah I forgot to show you this.” I said pulling out my controller and transforming it into my sword. “Whoa…” Dante said in awe. “How’d you get that?” “I made it myself using the sword creator feature.” I explained. “What can it do?” Dante asked. “Well…” I began as I twisted my sword and made it come apart. “I can have it come apart to where I have two swords and…” I then twisted my sword again and pulled it apart. “…I can use this chain to wrap around the enemy and crush it. “Pretty bad ass kiddo.” Dante said grinning. “How about we test that baby out.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> My eyes widen and I said “You mean me and you have a go at each other?” Dante nodded. “I don’t know dad…” I said slowly. “I never went up against you.” Dante placed his hand on my head. “It’ll be ok kiddo, you can’t really hurt me you know.” Dante said grinning. I looked up at him and grinned back. “Ok! Let’s go!” I yelled as I jumped a few feet back and got into fighting position. “That a boy!” Dante said as he took his sword off his back. Dad and I just stood in place for about two minutes, until I charged at him with my swords raised high in the air. Dante smirked, and blocked my attack in an instant. Our swords scraped against each other as we stared at one another. I pulled one of my swords off of his sword and swung at his hip. Dante did a back flip, and charged at me with his sword coming at my throat.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> I blocked his attack with my sword in my right hand, and swung at him with my right. My sword cut him in his side, and blood trickled off my sword to the ground. “Oh crap dad! I’m sorry!” I screamed in shock. “Remember what I said kiddo, you can’t really hurt me!” Dante yelled as he pulled the sword out of his side and pushed me back. I slid a few feet back, and watched as the cut I made heal instantly. “Give me everything you got!” Dante yelled as he charged at me again. “Will do!” I yelled as I threw my sword in my left hand at him. Dante dodged to the right and swung his blade down on me. I blocked his attack, grabbed the chain, and pulled as hard as I could. My other sword came flying back, and I caught it having dad trapped in between my swords and the chain against his back.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> I jumped back, as I pulled the chain against his back to the ground. Dad fell on his stomach, and I charged at him with my swords raised in the air preparing my final blow. Before I could get to him, dad held himself up by his hands and tripped me with his leg. I fell on my ass, and before I had time to react, dad already had his sword up to my throat. “If I was a real enemy, you would be dead right now.” Dante said grinning. I swallowed hard as I stared up at him. “Get on your feet, and let’s try again.” Dante said taking his sword away from my throat. I picked myself up, and got into fighting position. We spent the last two hours fighting each other, and I finally had my sword at his throat. Dante laughed and said “Good match.” I turned my sword back into my controller, and helped dad to his feet.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “I’m proud of you kiddo, you sure have gotten stronger than when we first met.” Dante said rubbing my head. “Thanks.” I said smiling. “Now let’s go order some pizza, my treat.” Dante said as he headed back to his crib. Ten minutes later, dad and I were sitting back enjoying a pepperoni pizza. “Hey Dontae let me ask you something.” Dante said taking a bite of his pizza. “What is it dad?” I asked grabbing another slice of pizza. “Have you ever wondered who your real mom and dad were?” Dante asked. I quietly stared down at my pizza and said “Yeah I have…” “Did you ever go looking for them when you first left here?” Dante asked. “Nah…I figured that they had moved on and forgotten all about me.” I said taking a bit of my pizza. “Plus even if I were to find them, what would I say?” I asked.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “I don’t know kiddo, I don’t know.” Dante said taking another bite of his pizza. After we had finished eating, I said my goodbyes and pulled out my controller. “Before you go, I think whenever you’re ready you should go and find you real mom and dad.” Dante said. “I think they’ll be real happy to see you again.” “Yeah…I guess you’re right.” I said. “I’ve always wondered what they were like.” “Well when you find them, come back here and tell me all about them deal?” Dante asked. I smiled and said “Deal.” I then pressed start and select, and reappeared back in my bean bag. “My real parents…” I said to myself as I laid back and fell asleep.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal">                                                  Chapter 20

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Today is 8/13/2020, a full week went by since my dad and I went at one another. I’m looking through my games when I hear a cry for help outside. Quickly I ran to the window and Weasel in the middle of two guys as they threw his glasses back and forth. “Come on you guys! Give me back my glasses!” Weasel cried as he tried to catch them in midair. The two other guys were laughing their asses off yelling “Never going to get them! Never going to get them!” The guy on the left of Weasel had short spiky black hair and green eyes. To the right of Weasel, the guy also had short spiky black hair but his eyes were blue. The guy with green eyes caught Weasel’s glasses, and threw them over a fence with a sigh that said ‘Beware of dog’ on it. Weasel ran after his glasses yelling “I’m coming for you!” and unable to see, he smacked into a pole.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> The two guys busted out laughing and the guy with blue eyes said “Way to go nerd!” Weasel jumped the fence, and landed on the other side. “Ni…Nice doggy…” Weasel said nervously. A cloud of smoke formed over top of the fence with Weasel screaming. Both guys fell to the ground laughing with tears in their eyes. I gritted my teeth, and ran out of my house. “Stand up dicks!” I yelled as I ran up to them. They both got to their feet and turned to me. “What do you want punk!?” asked the guy with green eyes. “Stop messing with my friend Weasel!” I yelled with my fists balled up. “And what are you going to do about it?” asked the guy with blue eyes. “This!” I yelled as I punched both of them into the air. They flew over the fence with the dog and landed head first. “Nice doggy…” I heard them both say nervously.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Then a cloud of smoke came up over the fence with the two guys trying to climb out. They got pulled down and began screaming “Mommy!” “That’ll show you.” I said grinning. As I was turning around, I heard Weasel behind me say “Thank you so much sir.” I turned to him and his face was in shock to see who I was. “Y…You’re that kid that came out of my PlayStation 2 when I was younger!” Weasel said. “Yep, and you’re Weasel.” I said smiling. “The last time I saw you was when my mom asked me to go to my room.” Weasel said. “Yeah…” I said thinking about Weasels mom and how she was so nice to me. “So where are you living now?” Weasel asked. “Over there.” I said pointing at my house. “You live all by yourself?” Weasel asked. “Yeah.” I said.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Weasel then looked down at his watch and said “Oh no! I’m going to be late!” He looked back up at me and said “Well thank you so much…” “Dontae.” I said. “If you hadn’t shown up, I would have been dog food.” Weasel said smiling. “You’re welcome.” I said smiling back. “Well I’ll see you later!” Weasel said running away. “You too!” I yelled after him. When he disappeared into the distance, I walked back to my house. “I wonder what’s on TV.” I said as I entered into my house. I plopped down in my bean bag and turned on the TV. Thirty minutes later a commercial came on. “Having trouble finding your keys?” the man on TV asked. “Want to know what you look like as a skeleton?” “Just call this number for your pair of X-ray glasses today!” “Only $5.99!” I picked up my phone that was lying on the floor beside me and dialed the number on the screen.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> A women on the other line answered. “How may I help you?” she asked. “Yeah I’d like to buy a pair of the X-ray glasses please.” I said. “Just tell me where you live and well have a pair of X-ray glasses there in no time.” The women said. I told her my location, and she said “Thank you sir, and I hope you enjoy your new pair of X-ray glasses.” The women said. She then hung up and I placed my phone back on the floor. Two hours later as I was playing Devil May Cry, I heard a knock at my door. “Sweet they’re here.” I said getting up and heading to my door. I opened the door, paid the delivery guy for the glasses, and sat back down in my bean bag.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “I wonder if they really work.” I said opening the box and pulling the glasses out. The lens on the glasses were clear like normal glasses. I put them on and saw that everything was the same. “Hmm…they probably just need to be turned on.” I said feeling the glasses for a switch or a button. I found the button and pressed it. Suddenly it went from looking at a normal wall to looking outside. “Wow, they really do work.” I said grinning. Then my controller began to beep, and I took the glasses off. “Ability learned: X-ray vision.” I read on my screen. “Wait my controller can learn abilities from object as well?” I asked myself. I placed my controller down, and closed my eyes. When I reopened them, I could see outside like I did when I had the glasses on. “Sweet.” I said smiling as I looked at my hand and saw my bones.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal">                                          Chapter 21

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> For three months, I’ve been making good use of my X-ray vision. For me that is. I would go by hot girls houses, girl’s bathroom, and even when they’re walking down the street and see them naked. “I’ve had my fun for today.” I said closing my eyes and switching back to my normal vision. As I was walking in town, I stopped in front of Dirble’s Game Store and peered in. “I wonder if I can get a game.” I said checking my pockets to see if I had any money on me. Every now and then I would help Mr. Dirble out around the store, and he would pay me twenty bucks an hour. “Ah here we go!” I said pulling out the only forty Raeth dollars I had. As I walked through the doors, Mr. Dirble spotted me and said “Ah Dontae, what game are you looking to buy today?” “I’m just looking, I’m also hoping you would finally have a copy of Devil May Cry 4.” I said. “Nope not today, I can’t seem to find a copy for you.” Mr. Dirble said. “That sucks…” I said frowning.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “One will turn up one day.” He said smiling. “When it does, you’re going to call me first thing right?” I asked. “Of course! Of course!” Mr. Dirble said patting me on the back. “Thanks.” I said smiling. I then walked over to the PlayStation 3 games and read each game one by one. “Hmm…” I said thinking. “Which one should I get?” I spotted Mortal Kombat on the top shelf for exactly forty bucks. “It’ll be interesting to go into this game.” I said taking it off the shelf. I walked over to the checkout counter and placed the game down. “I’d like to have this one.” I said handing Mr. Dirble the forty bucks. “What do you plan on learning when you go into here?” Mr. Dirble asked. “I guess I’ll have to find out.” I said smiling. I paid for the game and began walking out the store. “Have a nice day Mr. Dirble.” I said raising my right hand. “You too Dontae.” Mr. Dirble said.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> When I got back home, I put Mortal Kombat in my PlayStation 3 and plopped down in my bean bag. “This should be interesting.” I said grinning and sliding the switch. My entire body turned to smoke and I was sucked into the PlayStation 3. I reappeared in the games stage called ‘The Street’ and looked around at the buildings that surrounded me. “Nice.” I said smiling. “Get over here!” I heard a voice from behind me yell. When I turned around, I saw a blade with a rope attached to it coming right at me. I dodged to the left and grabbed the rope as it went by me. “How about you get over here!” I yelled pulling the rope as hard as I could.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> A man wearing a black jumpsuit with yellow armor and a black and yellow mask came flying at me. When he was close enough, I Falcon Kicked him on his head and he crashed into the ground leaving a large crater. “If I’m correct, you must be Scorpion right?” I asked looking down at him. “Who are you?” Scorpion asked as he slowly picked himself up. “The name’s Dontae, Dontae the Legendary Game Master.” I said grinning. “A Game Master huh?” Scorpion asked. “I’ve always wanted to kill a Game Master!” he said as he punched me in the side. Not feeling any pain, I just stood there with a grin on my face. “Is that all you got?” I asked as I Wizard Punched him in the gut. Scorpion held his stomach and began gasping for air. “W…What do you want?” He asked. “I’m here to learn any new abilities you have for me.” I said. “Like what?” Scorpion asked finally catching his breath.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “I don’t know, you tell me.” I said. Scorpion thought for a moment and said “You want to be able to do your own fatality?” “My own fatality?” I asked. “Yeah, it’s when the opponent is at his or her limit, and the winner finishes them off with a lethal kill.” Scorpion explained. “Show me.” I sad grinning. “Sure, let me find an opponent to kill.” Scorpion said. He then ran off and five minutes later brought Sub Zero with him. “Listen, when I show this kid my fatality against you, I want you to freeze him when you come back to life got it?” Scorpion asked as he whispered in Sub Zero’s ear. Sub Zero nodded. “Ready!” “Fight!” a voice said from out of nowhere. Sitting in the background, I watched as Scorpion and Sub Zero fought each other. Three minutes later, when Sub Zero was at his limit, a voice then said “Finish him!” Scorpion then pulled his mask off revealing his skull, and blew fire at Sub Zero.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> Sub Zero caught on fire, and turned to ashes. “Fatality!” the voice said. My controller then beeped, and I knew what I had just learned. “Nice.” I said clapping my hands. “Well did you learn it?” Scorpion asked. “Yep.” I said. “Good, now Sub Zero!” Scorpion yelled as he looked up at the building behind me. Sub Zero flew down from off the building, and shot out a blizzard from his hands. With no time to dodge, the blizzard hit me and froze me in place. Sub Zero and Scorpion began laughing and said “Yes! We finally killed ourselves a Game Master!” “Ok Sub Zero finish him off so then we can tell the others about his death.” Scorpion said. Sub Zero began to swing his foot at me, when my arm busted out of the ice and caught his leg in mid air. “I don’t think so!” I said grinning. Flames began to surround my body, and the ice melted away.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Sorry Sub Zero, but you’re going to have to die again!” I yelled as cut his head off with my sword. I let his leg go, and his body fell to the ground turning to ice. “You’re next.” I said turning to Scorpion. Scared out of his mind, Scorpion turned around and began running. “Oh no you don’t!” I yelled as I twisted my sword to have it attached with my chain. I then threw my sword in my right hand at him, and it stabbed him in the back. “Arrgghhh!!” Scorpion yelled in pain. I then pulled out one of my guns and aimed at the hilt of my sword. The bullet hit the hilt and drove my sword deeper into him. “You’ll be my first victim I get to try my fatality on!” I yelled as I wrapped my chain around his entire body. With my pyrokinesis surrounding me, I caught my chain on fire and pulled it as hard as I could. Scorpion cried in pain just before my chain crushed ever bone in his body and turned him into a pile of ash.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal"> “Fatality!” I heard the voice say. “That was wicked!” I yelled joyfully as I retracted my sword and turned it back into my controller. “Now to get out of here before they show up again.” I pressed start and select and appeared back in my bean bag. “Never double cross me.” I said grinning. My stomach began to growl, so I got up and stuck a pizza in the oven. “I wonder if I can have more than one Fatality like all the other characters have.” I said to myself.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal">                                         Chapter 22

<span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">Yet another year goes by, and I still haven’t found a copy of Devil May Cry 4. I’ve managed to learn several other abilities since I learned Fatality, but they’re not that important. Earlier today I went back to Dirble’s Game Store and bought Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi, I decided that I wanted to learn to become a Super Sayian. I put the game in my PlayStation 3, slid the switch and was sucked into the game. An hour later I reappeared in my house full of adrenaline and ready to kamehame a rock. I ran outside, flew high into the air, and looked for the closet boulder that was near me. “There’s one!” I yelled joyfully as I flew towards it. “Ka-me-ha-me!” “Haaaaa!” I yelled as I shot out the blast. In seconds the boulder went from a normal boulder into dust. “Aww yeah!” I cheered. <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">“Now to go Super Sayian!” I yelled as I began to charge up. “Haaaaaaa!” Yellow energy began to form around me and my appearance began to change. My hair turned from brown to gold, it had also became spiky and long but it wasn’t spiked up, and my eyes had turned light blue. “Ah yeah! I feel amazing!” I said clenching my fist and grinning. “Now let’s see how fast I can fly on Planet Raeth!” I took off in a random direction. After I had spun around the world for about five to six times, I decided to head back home and relax. “Ah…” I said comfortably in my bean bag. When I was just about to fall asleep, I heard a knock at my door. “Be right there!” I said disappointed that I was interrupted. <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">“Hello?” I said when I answered the door. A women with pink hair a blue eyes answered the door. “Excuse me, our car broke down and my husband and I left our cell phones at home, do you mind if we use yours?” the women said. “Uh…sure.” I said looking across the street and saw a man in the car with short spiky brown hair, and brown eyes. “Thank you so much!” the women said walking into my house. “The phone’s right over there.” I said pointing at the table across the room. The women walked over, picked up the phone, and began dialing a number. As I watched her, I felt something strange in me as if I knew who she was. The women then placed down my phone, turned around, and smiled. <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">“Thank you again…” “Dontae” I said. When she heard my name, the women’s eyes widen and she began to stare at me. Just as I was about to say something, her husband came through the door and said “Samantha is there a tow truck on the way?” Samantha snapped back to reality, and said “Oh uh yeah, he’ll be here in less than a minute.” “That’s great!” the man said smiling. “Come on honey, we need to hurry home before our son kills Terry.” “Coming Toby.” Samantha said walking towards the door. Just before she left out of my door, she looked back at me and smiled. I stood there in complete confusion, until my stomach growled. “Time to fix a pizza!” I said heading to my fridge. <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">                                                 Chapter 23 <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">Nothing excited happened for the next four years. After that day when I helped Samantha and Toby, I haven’t ran into them not once. Thinking back when Samantha smiled at me and the feeling that I knew them somehow, made me wonder if Samantha and Toby were my parents. I was sitting in my bean bag playing Call of Duty, when all of a sudden there was a knock at my door. “Coming!” I yelled as I stood up and began walking towards the front door. “Hey Dontae, long time no see.” Weasel said when I opened the door. “Hey Weasel, what brings you here?” I asked as I let him in. “Well…earlier today I was going through my attic because my dad wanted me to clean it up a bit, and I stumbled on this.” Weasel said as he held up a medium sized book. <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">I took it from him and read the front cover. “Guide to the Legendary Game Master’s controller.” I read out loud. “I remember when I was a kid about my mom saying something about this and how she couldn’t find it anywhere.” Weasel said. “Thanks Weasel,” I said looking up at him and smiling. “No problem.” Weasel said. “Now I can learn more about what I can do as a Legendary Game Master.” I said flipping through the pages. Weasel then checked his watch and said “Oh crap I’m going to be late!” “Late for what?” I asked. “Late for work at my dad’s store!” Weasel yelled as he ran out of my house. “You can keep the book!” “Thanks man!” I yelled after him. <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">I looked back down at the book and began walking to my bean bag. “Let’s start at the beginning.” I said as I plopped down in my bean bag. Two hours later after reading the basics and special features the controller does, I placed the book down on my lap and took out my controller. “One of the features I read about, was to allow me to use other Game Master controllers.” I said looking through my controller. “But I don’t see anything on here that says I could.” I then scrolled all the way down until I got to a icon that said ‘Options’ and opened it up. When it loaded, a list of different features appeared with boxes next to them. “I never thought opening options would show me this, I always thought that it would show me settings for the controller. <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">I read some of the features as I scrolled through the list, and one of them caught my eye. “DNA Matcher.” I read. The box next to it was blank, so I highlighted it and a ‘X’ appeared in the box. “Damn, I wish I knew about this when Samantha and Toby was here.” I said frowning. I continued through the list until I found the one that said ‘Other Game Master controller usage’ and saw that the box was blank. “Well there’s no other Game Master around for me to use his controller, so I might as well leave it blank.” I said putting away my controller. “Let’s go see if a copy of Devil May Cry 4 has come in yet.” I stood up from my bean bag, and walked out the door. <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">Using super speed, I ran from my house to Dirble’s Game Store   in ten seconds. “Hey again Weasel.” I said as I walked into the game store. “Hey Dontae, so did you learn a lot from the book I gave you?” Weasel asked as he was stocking the shelves with PlayStation 3 games. “Yeah I’ve managed to learn a lot, thanks again for the book.” I said smiling and giving Weasel thumbs up. “You’re very welcome.” Weasel said smiling and giving me thumbs up back. All of a sudden my controller began to beep. “What the? There’s no way I learned a new ability, so why are you beeping?” I asked myself as I took my controller out. “DNA Match Found: Weasel Dirble is you cousin.” I read out loud. “What?!” Weasel asked in shock. <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">“How’s that even possible?” I asked looking at Weasel. “I…I don’t know.” Weasel said as he shook his head back and forth with his hand to his forehead. “Well I guess the DNA Matcher doesn’t lie, so…nice to meet you cousin!” I said smiling and holding my hand out so Weasel can shake it. Weasel smiled, shook my hand, and said “Nice to meet you too cousin.” After I was told that Devil May Cry 4 hadn’t come in yet, I left the game store and headed back home. “I can’t believe Weasel is my cousin, I wonder who else is related to me?” I asked myself as I plopped down in my bean bag. “I guess in time I’ll get my answer.” <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">                                                   Chapter 24 <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">Sorry for the huge skips of my story, but nothing really happens in the years that pass. It’s now 4/4 /2028, three years after I found out that Weasel and I were cousins. I’m now 22 years old, and my looks are they same. My phone begins to ring while I’m playing Devil May Cry 3, so I pause my game and answer it. “Hello?” I asked. “Good news Dontae, we finally managed to get a few copies of Devil May Cry 4 in.” Weasel said on the other line. “Really!?” I asked in shock. “Yeah, you better hurry up and get here before they all run out.” Weasel said. “I’ll be there in a flash!” I yelled as I dropped my phone and ran out the door. As fast as I could I ran from my house to Dirble’s Game Store, and busted open the doors. “Ok I’m here! Where’s Devil May Cry 4!?” I yelled as I looked around the store. <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">“These are the last two.” Weasel said holding up the games. “Sweet!” I cheered. I walked over to him, paid with cash, and jetted out the store. ”Thanks Weasel!” I yelled hoping he heard me. As soon as I got home, I took Devil May Cry 3 out of my PlayStation 3 and placed in Devil May Cry 4. “Oh boy I can’t wait.” I said happily. I slid the switch, and was turned into a cloud of smoke. When I reappeared, I was in a wide area with a fountain in the middle, a church behind me, and a few buildings in front of me. “Nice.” I said smiling as I looked around. “Hey! Who are you!?” said a voice behind me. I turned around to see a large blue hand coming straight for my face. My controller turned into my sword, and I blocked the hand sending it flying back to it’s owner. <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">“I’m Dontae, who are you!?” I asked looking at a guy with short gray hair,         ,          ,            , and his right arm being blue and rocky looking. “My name’s Nero, and you have no business being here!” Nero said as he pointed at me. “Look I’m just here to find my dad, Dante.” I said. “You mean the guy who attacked me in there?” Nero asked as he pointed at the church. “I guess so, where’d he go?” I asked. “If I knew, I’d be trying to kill him right about now.” Nero said. “And since you’re his son, that makes you my enemy as well.” Nero began to run at me with his blue arm raised. I sighed and said “So be it, you want me to kick your ass.” Nero’s blue arm stretched out towards me, so when it was close enough to me I grabbed his hand and slammed it to the ground. I then did a spin kick, and my foot and his face were acquainted. <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">Nero flew over top of the fountain, and landed on the other side. “Hey kiddo!” I heard my dad’s voice behind me. I turned around and saw that his appearance was slightly different. He was still wearing the same outfit, same hair color and style, but the only thing different was that he was a tad bit beefier. “Whoa dad…you been working out?” I asked. “Yeah I guess you can say that.” He said flexing his right arm. “I see that you met Nero.” “Yeah I did, not much of a challenge you know.” I said grinning. “He might not look like much, but don’t underestimate him.” Dante said grinning back. “Since I haven’t see you in years, I want to show you some new moves that I’ve learned.” I said. <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">“Well let’s go find us some enemies so you can show me.” Dante said. “Ok!” I said happily as I grabbed Dante’s hand and took off into the air. “Whoa! I suppose this is one of your moves?” Dante said looking up at me. “Yep.” I said grinning. “Nice.” Dante said. I flew to an open area in the woods and landed in the middle. “Alright! Bring it on you bastards!” I yelled as I pulled out my sword and looked around. All of a sudden a group of black creatures with a sword as one of their legs appeared. “That’s what I’m talking about!” I cheered as I swung my sword at one of them. Dante was right beside me killing them left and right showing them no mercy. I pulled back my hands and shot out a Kamahameha. Dozens of the monsters died in an instance. As I was switching my sword to its chain form, three black monsters came up behind me and began to strike. <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">Just in time, Dante shot them in the face and they disappeared. “Thanks dad,” I said turning to him. “Sure thing kiddo.” Dante said grinning. I then turned to a black monster a few feet away from me. “Prepare for my fatality!” I yelled as I threw my sword that was in my right hand at it. My sword stabbed through the monster, so then I pulled out my gun and shot at the hilt. The sword drove deeper into the monster, and I began wrapping my chain around it. With my pyrokinesis surrounding me, I caught my chain on fire as well as the monster and as I pulled the chain with all my might, the monster turned into a pile of ash. “Fatality!” I cheered! “Holy crap!” A unfamiliar voice said behind me. I quickly turned around and began shooting. <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">After the smoke cleared from me shooting, I saw that I had written ‘Die’ on a tree. “Who’s there!? Show yourself!” I demanded. The stranger slowly poked his head out from the tree and said “Uh…hi….” He wore a red hat with it turned backwards, a red hoodie with Kratos on the front, blue jeans, and white sneakers. Also he had long blonde hair and blue eyes. “Who the hell are you!?” I yelled. He began to freak out from the guns I had pointed at him and he said “I…I’m Shawn the Game Master! Please don’t shoot!” I slowly lowered my guns with a surprised look on my face and said “Y…You’re a Game Master?” “Y…Yeah why do you ask?” Shawn asked. “I’m a Game Master too.” I said pulling out my controller. <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">Shawn’s eyes widen. “No way…” he said. All of a sudden my controller began to beep, and I looked down at the screen. ‘DNA Match found: Shawn Wilson is your brother.’ I read to myself. “What’s it say?” Shawn asked. “Did you learn a new ability or something?” “N…No…it says that you and I are brothers…” I said in shock. “What? No way.” Shawn said. “I’m serious, look.” I said showing him my controller. “Oh my god…” Shawn said after he read what was on my screen. “How’s this even possible?” “I don’t know…” I said still staring at my screen. “I know what to do.” Shawn said. “Just come with me and I’ll ask my mom and dad.” “Who’s your mom and dad?” I asked. “Their names are Toby and Samantha.” Shawn said as I grabbed onto him and turned into a cloud of smoke. <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">                                                    THE END <span style="font-size:12.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">Well Thanks for reading everyone, I hope you enjoyed my story.
