The Man in Red
It's been days since the massacre and I pray I'm not next in line to recieve an early grave but our king says different. Life in this world is quite relaxing whenever you don't have shit getting thrown at you, getting eating by creatures, or getting jumped by some jerk who just doesn't care. If I recall correctly, it was just another day for me and my peers when the boss slammed open the doors suddenly. It scared some of my peers. One guy hid in his "house" and refused to be coaxed out of it. Anywhom, our boss had a look of fright on his face
"This has never happened before!" he exasperated. "Our troop is among the best in this world!!!" "What happened?" A friend of mine asked. "According to Sargent Blue, A man in red has been spotted traversing the worlds killing anybody that so much as looks at him!" I could not believe it. You're making this up right?" I timidly asked. "Hell to the no!!!" Our boss replied. This red man's got even the king worried and we know that it's tough to instill fear into him!" "Does anybody know what this guy wants?" someone else asked. "I dunno, all i know is that this phsyco must be stopped at all costs! The fate of this world as well as the others is at stake!!!" The boss exclaims
The next day, we leave the safety of our fortress and make way for a lush world set in the tropics. I've been here before on vacation, but this is no time to relax. Upon arrival, we set up camp and make plans for when and if the man in red shows up. I'm given the task of keeping an eye out due to my small size and lack of combat skills. While searching for an ideal place to keep watch, I get a sense of dread, but I just merely shake it off. "it's been a long day, I need some rest, that's all." I tell myself. Before I know it, I find a nice cliff that overlooks the sea and soon I feel my eyes close.
The next day, I wake up and stare aimlessy towards my left since my group heard that is where the man in red will strike. Speaking of which, what does this man in red look like anyway? Unforetuanetly, i soon learned the answer. It was around noon and I was starting to get bored along with some of my peers when he came. I didn't get much of a good look at the man in red, but what he did horrified me and quite possibly scarred me for life.
One of of my peers threw a boomerang at the guy, but he just jumped over him and threw a fireball he conjured up at him. The boomerang guy screamed in agony as he burned to death. Then, two of my peers walked towards him. Bad idea, the man in red just jumped on their heads which followed with a sick crunch as their necks snapped. Feeling brave, a guy in green and yellow threw bombs at the guy in red. However, it didn't really do much to help our situation. Knowing this was a lost cause, I hightailed it out of there all the way back to our fortress.
Days after that horrible, gruesome massacre at the beach, I started having nightmares. It's the same one every time. That day that will forever play out in my head. Each time, the man in red looks more demonic and my peers look more creepyish themselves. As I write this, I hear the sound of a door open. Curious to see what it is, I rush to see the cause of the disturbance. Then I see a familiar figure and just as I black out, I hear him speak, "it's a me mario!"
