Sandbox Mode Returns

I'll sweeten the deal... I will reveal the Shadow King's minion's identity to whoever first reviews my RC III Prologue and Chapter 1 once I post it!

Edit: And the Shadow King's lieutenant's name to the second person who does so (not nearly as big a reveal there)!

I will start Alarmory's ALERT! Adventures after AMUA; its beginning will go off of a cut to Alarmory around the final boss battle of AMUA.

Sigs are for squares.

While this is the least controversial Chapter, it's quite short and not as in-depth as most of the ones afterwards will be. The next one will be MUCH longer and have a lot more dialogue and better battles but should be skipped by anyone who doesn't like the idea of someone putting down George W. Bush. For those who do, however, it should be funny, possibly educational, and possibly satisfying! I think the only real good thing about this chapter is seeing Al-Qaeda get brought down.

*NEW STORY UNLOCKED: Rage Chronicles III Deicide Chapter 1*

Soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70bleyvstks

Bioscan: Now in a mountain range in Pakistan, near the Afghanistan border. Al-Qaeda's base should be nearby.
Ichmael: I know that. And don't you know "Al-Qaeda" means "the base"? So you just said "The base's base".
Bioscan: ... Fine, Al-Qaeda's hideout is nearby.
Ichmael: Good thing I was given this Arabic translator microchip that downloads directly into the brain.

A Pakistani approaches Ichmael.

Ichmael: (Do you know where Al-Qaeda's hideout is?)
Pakistani: (Yes.)
Ichmael: (Can you show me it?)
Pakistani: (Die, American!)
Ichmael: ... Crap.

BATTLE!

Ichmael 100/100 VS Terrorist 10/10
Ichmael uses Stab! 20 damage! Terrorist is defeated!

Ichmael: They have no idea who they're dealing with.
Bioscan: Might I suggest not asking random people where their hideout is?
Ichmael: Er, right.

Many hours of searching later, Ichmael comes across an odd cave and enters it. Oddly, it seems to be partially made into a building on the inside. Unfortunately it's swarming with terrorists but they haven't spotted him yet.

Ichmael: Is this it?!
Bioscan: Too small. It must be a secondary base. Perhaps there's information on the main hideout's location in here.
Terrorist #1: (AN AMERICAN! Has President Bush decided to send a one-man military team to attack us?)
Ichmael: (Actually I have nothing do with the U.S. military but you're going down all the same.)
Terrorist #2: (Fool! Do you have any idea who you're dealing with?)
Ichmael: (Yes. But do you?)
Terrorist #3: (Your pretentiousness is insulting! Time to die!)

BATTLE!
Ichmael 100/100 VS 3 Terrorists 20/20 each
Ichmael uses Stab on Terrorist #1! 1 damage! Terrorist #1 is defeated!
Terrorist #2: (What in the world was THAT sword?!)
Terrorist #3: (Back up!)
The remaining terrorists back up and fire at Ichmael, but miss.

Ichmael 100/100 VS 2 Terrorists 20/20 each
Ichmael uses Bomb on Terrorist #2! 30 damage! Terrorist #2 is defeated!
Terrorist #3: (WHO ARE YOU?!)
Ichmael: (I tried to warn you.)
Terrorist #3 retreats deeper in the cave!

Ichmael: Idiot showed me how to get through!

Ichmael finds a locked door the terrorist fled through. Note that in this story as in video games locked doors are inexplicably indestructible. However, mist suddenly comes in the room!

Ichmael: Power-up time?

You got the Shockwave Bomb! This bomb releases a long-distance shockwave upon detonation.

Ichmael: Hmm...

He sets a Shockwave Bomb which explodes and knocks a key from the ceiling. Through the locked door!... But there's more terrorists.

Terrorist #1 (formerly #3): (It's him! Attack!)

One completely one-sided fight later...

Bioscan: I see coordinates to the main hideout here. It is approximately 5.343 miles Northnortheast from here, in another cave.
Ichmael: Yay...

To the main hideout!

Soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEEZnVjfyPY

A siren immediately sounds.

Siren: (INTRUDER ALERT!)

Rather than terrorists attacking, a bomb is dumped near Ichmael. It immediately explodes! 30 damage!
---
Sigs are for squares.

Ichmael: Eek!

THEN terrorists attack! Ichmael gets out of this battle with 10 fewer HP...

Ichmael: Ugh, they finally got some hits in.

After getting through a few more rooms (it's a cave on top, but an underground building below), Ichmael obtains another item from mist.

You got the Big Flail! This is an enormous steel ball and chain that can reach very far. Swing it to cause heavy damage.

Ichmael: Now what might I need this for?

Just then Ichmael catches a glimpse of someone... Osama's #2, Ayman al-Zawahiri!

Ayman al-Zawahiri: (American infidel. How dare you attack Al-Qaeda's base of operations?)
Ichmael: (Ayman al-Zawahiri... Do I even need to explain? After everything you've done?)
Ayman al-Zawahiri: (We are fighting a holy war against American and Israel for invading our lands and persecuting our beliefs!)
Ichmael: (And that justifies slaughtering thousands of civilians without regard to who they are or whether they even mean you any harm?)
Ayman al-Zawahiri: (There are no true innocents in your country! Look at what your government has done!)
Ichmael: (I'm not affiliated with them. Not everyone is. Your problem is thinking we're all the same.)
Ayman al-Zawahiri: (This is getting nowhere! Now behold my secret weapon!)

Ayman al-Zawahiri gets into thick armor really quickly and draws his own flail.

Bioscan: How can he handle all that heavy weight? He's an old man!
Ichmael: Never mind that!

BOSS BATTLE!
Soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ5T_qX3aIA

Ichmael 100/100 VS Ayman al-Zawahiri 100/100
The combatants wield their flails.
Ichmael hits first! 15 damage!
Ayman al-Zawahiri attacks! 20 damage!
Ayman al-Zawahiri: (Your lack of armor dooms you, American pig!)
Ichmael: (We'll see.)

Ichmael 80/100 VS Ayman al-Zawahiri 85/100
Ichmael uses Bioscan (this doesn't take up a turn)!
Bioscan: Subject: Ayman al-Zawahiri. Second-in-command of Al-Qaeda and considering its "brains". He played an instrumental role in 9/11 and-
Ichmael: I know that! Get to the combat scan!
Bioscan: Sorry. His armor protects against attacks but hitting the helmet with the Big Flail should expose him.
Ichmael: Good!
Ichmael uses Big Flail on Ayman al-Zawahiri's head! 18 damage!
Ayman al-Zawahiri uses Flail! Ichmael blocks with his own flail!
Ayman al-Zawahiri: (Argh!)

Ichmael 80/100 VS Ayman al-Zawahiri 67/100
Ichmael uses Big Flail on Ayman al-Zawahiri's head! The helmet is damaged! 20 damage!

Ayman al-Zawahiri: (NOOOOO!)
Ayman al-Zawahiri uses Suicide Bomb! (2*20) damage to Ichmael! 100 damage to Ayman al-Zawahiri! Ayman al-Zawahiri is defeated!

Ichmael: Ack...
Bioscan: Looks like he failed. Shall we proceed?

Ichmael continues through and eventually starts heading back up into the cave area. He heals along the way!

Com Unit: (THE INFIDEL IS GETTING CLOSER TO THE COMMANDER'S ROOM! ALL UNITS PREPARE TO FIGHT!)

Ichmael beats some more terrorists and eventually finds his way on top of the cave!

Soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOHMIki8974

Ichmael sees Osama bin Laden on top of a strange hovering aircraft-like thing.
---
Sigs are for squares.

Ichmael: Osama bin Laden!
Osama bin Laden: (So this mystery infidel managed to get all the way here. I overheard your conversation with Ayman, Allah speed him to paradise. You do not appear to be with the American military. Just who are you?)
Ichmael: (Never mind who I am, your days of plotting attacks are over!)
Osama bin Laden: (Such arrogance. I am not unprepared for surprise attacks. Observe!)

6 miniature fighter aircrafts lower into the battlefield.

Osama bin Laden: (Do you see? I have bombers ready for you.)
Ichmael: (Like miniature 9/11's... You are one slick *beep*.)
Osama bin Laden: (Watch your tongue.)

Osama bin Laden's aircraft backs up.

Osama bin Laden: (Jihadists! Attack!)

CHAPTER BOSS BATTLE!
Soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4TByi201ZE

Ichmael 100/100 VS 6 Terrorist Planes 30/30 each
Ichmael uses Bioscan on a plane!
Bioscan: Subject identity unimportant. These fighters mean to kamikaze attack you. Firing the Big Flail at their cockpits as they dive at you should cause them to swerve and crash away from you.
Ichmael: Very well.
Terrorist Plane #1 dives at Ichmael! Ichmael fires the Big Flail at the cockpit! 20 damage! The pilot kept going and crashed! 50 damage! Terrorist Plane #1 is defeated!

Ichmael uses Lightning on Terrorist Plane #4! It causes the plane to short-circuit and crash! 50 damage! Terrorist Plane #4 is defeated!
Terrorist Plane #5 kamikazes Ichmael! Ichmael dodges! Terrorist Plane #5 crashes and takes 50 damage! Terrorist Plane #5 is defeated!
Terrorist Plane #6: (Ahhh! What now, sheikh?!)
Osama bin Laden: (You know what you must do. Leave the rest to me.)
Terrorist Plane #6: (... God is great.)
Terrorist Plane #6 detonates himself, setting the cave top ablaze! Ichmael takes 15 damage! Osama bin Laden himself then moves his craft closer.

Ichmael 5/100 VS Osama bin Laden 50/150 (Burn [1])
Ichmael uses Diamond Orb! 50 damage! Osama bin Laden is defeated!

Osama bin Laden: (Im-impossible... Brought down by an infidel who isn't even in the military... God speed...)

Osama bin Laden dies.

Ichmael: Phew... Many people are now avenged. Good thing I recorded it all to hopefully put an end to all these wars!
Bioscan: What are you going to do with it?
Ichmael: Leak the video on the internet.
Bioscan: Hmm... Very well.
Ichmael gets a Rage Unit for winning (+20 HP) and obtains Osama's Rocket Launcher from the wreckage!

You got the Rocket Launcher! Use it to fire a highly damaging missile!

Ichmael: Nice! Now to just get out of here...

Coming Soon: Rage Chronicles III Chapter 2: Confront the Neo-Cons Part 1

Judging from how long that was (and that was a SHORT chapter), I think I agree with L4P... I should probably make a separate topic for this and possibly for other non-Mario stories to keep from taking up too much of the sandbox.

Anti-Mario's Underwhere Adventures In-Between Chapter 6

Anti-MarioCo parts ways with Real Anti-MarioCo and returns to the 666-Year Door. The Muggle Maps reveals the final Plastic Star is located in...

Anti-Mario: Is a-that...
Ariobga: The Overthere?
Thorette: So that's the foul Necro-Truants' base.
Skolloid: Aw man, we'll NEVER get it! We're not allowed in The Overthere!
Miss Interpret: I'm sure it'll be easy.
Anti-Mario: a-I will MAKE Jaydes let a-us in.

Anti-MarioCo goes to the Underwhere. Anti-Mario sees a familiar face...

Prof. X-Naut: How could this happen? I perfected that gameshark and had Mario and his own gameshark at a stalemate! But GAME OVER itself intervened! Argh! I can't believe I'm dead now!
Anti-Mario: ... Professor X-Naut?
Prof. X-Naut: Anti-Mario! I'd still be alive if you hadn't screwed up!
Anti-Mario: ... And I'd a-be dead anyway.
Prof. X-Naut: Exactly! That was your purpose!
Anti-Mario: I a-go my own way now. I a-will be revived by the MacGuffin of Revival and seek out a-Mario on my own terms.
Prof. X-Naut: ... The MacGuffin of Revival? It brings people back to life?
Anti-Mario: a-Yes, and I a-already have 6 of the a-7 Plastic Stars needed to a-reach it and its a-creator!
Prof. X-Naut: Hmm... How about I join you? I'll let you be the one to be revived, I promise.
Anti-Mario: Yeah right.

However the narrator insists Anti-Mario accepts.

Anti-Mario: Alright. Wait, what?!
Prof. X-Naut: Excellent.

Prof. X-Naut joined Anti-Mario's party! Anti-Mario's evil creator, he now is pretending to help Anti-Mario revive himself. On the field he can use his gameshark to reveal hidden things. In battle he can use Beaker Toss to deal 4 damage or Beaker Drink for 3 FP to buff himself or Anti-Mario up or cause status effects to an enemy. At Super Rank he can summon the Omnipotent Asteroid to deal 5-10 damage to all enemies for 6 FP, and at Ultra Rank he can use Hack to mess with any of the battlers' stats for 10 FP.

Anti-Mario: Whatever. a-Off to Jaydes!
Jaydes: You.... What business do you have with me? I am- wait a minute, you're that antimatter clone! Go back to the Clone Anti-Underwhere!
Anti-Mario: I a-need to go to the Overthere.
Jaydes: You're evil, made of antimatter, and a clone. Never.
Anti-Mario: What if I-

Just then a Blooper half the entire Underwhere's size appears in the background.

Gargantuan Blooper: BLOOOOOP! I AM TERRA BLOOPER, THE REAL ACTUAL TRUE SECRET LEADER OF THE BLOOPER TUNNEL GUARDS! I'VE COME TO CONQUER THE UNDERWHERE!

Jaydes: Eeeek!... Fine, defeat Terra Blooper and I will allow you to temporarily visit the Overthere.
Anti-Mario: Fine.
Terra Blooper: A MARIO RIPOFF CHALLENGES ME? VERY WELL, TASTE DEATH AGAIN!

Some information about Alarmory's ALERT! Adventures:

I'm going to make this funnier than my other sandbox stories. For the first part Alarmory will get C-3PO and R2-D2 knockoffs as sort of partners, go on some random adventures without any battles, but finally end up confronting an... antagonist... You may be able to guess who it is just based off of who the partners are...

For the second half Alarmory will part ways with his Star Wars copyright violating partners and go on an adventure with battles included, with a brand new main villain. He will get new partners, all based off of "alarms" of one kind or another- Cloe (yes, not Chloe) the alarm clock, Gory and Shrawn the goby and shrimp (it's a mutualistic relationship; gobies live with shrimp and warn them when predators are near by touching their tails, the nearly blind shrimp then digs a burrow for both of them to hide in), Theor the giant helper T cell, and that's all I've thought of for now.

I'l likely post Part 1 of the SsOoGP epilogue some time this week. It will simply be a party at Peach's Castle just like in Paper Mario's ending.

I know. But this happens before the Pit, I think... And Part 3 won't be posted until I'm almost finished with AMUA anyway.

Bump! Sorry I've been neglecting AMUA for RC, I'll get around to it sooner or later.
