Okay,I'm not gonna keep the viewers waiting anymore. I've had it ready for a few days now. Let me just say that the ante was very, very hard. Unless you've like been blind and recovered from it, you can't just know. I might have hit just enough, three out of the seven. Because it was hard to describe some colors without just saying something its with. Like red with blood, blue with the sea, and I did that, and I know it's wrong simply because the blind don't know what colors those are. But, i tried my best and here is the finished product.
Be ready because it is very long, over 5100 words. By the way the moral is demonstrated at the end. And one last thing, I tried to make indents on my writing app but it wouldn't work so sorry for that.
Chapter 1: Once Upon A Time
Once
upon a time there was a boy named Titus. Titus was a fairly nice guy with handsome green eyes. He had black hair and an awesome smile. Titus just wanted to be known around the forums. So, he participated in a game so he would be the best player in the forums.
He went to the place he was supposed to play the game in. The bright sun was shining on his face and the sand around him. It was an old looking round building with broken down pillars and bleachers. (Basically a worn down coliseum, but kids don't know what that is I don't think).
Titus walked into the middle of the place and found a man standing there, like he was waiting for Titus to come. He was skinny, and a bit younger than him. He looked very dirty, like he never ate. He also had giant glasses and an Asian texture.
Ha, nerd Bane said in Titus' mind.
Titus, being a nice boy and wanting to be respectful, walked up to him intending to shake hands.
"My name is Titus Gardner" he said. He held out his hand, smiling his normal smile.
The boy looked Titus in the eye for a few seconds. He smirked and slapped his hand away. "I don't shake hands." he replied, "I'm Pencillum. Now, let's play this game,"
Titus was shocked at Pencillum's lack of respect. Still, he smiled, ready to play the game. He was ready to take this guy down and win the game. They got in their positions but, just as the game was about to begin, they were whisked away and knocked out cold.
Titus woke up, realizing the quiet place they were once in was replaced by cheering. Titus opened his eyes to the light and looked around and saw row after row of people, cheering. It was kind of odd that all of the people cheering weren't people. They were turtles and toads.
Past the interesting crowd was the wall going around the entire racetrack. He saw a booth in the distance with a man in it, looking like he was getting ready to say something. Titus guessed it was probably the announcers booth.
Titus looked in front of him, and saw that he was holding a steering wheel. He found his foot on the pedal, ready to start driving. He looked at his body to find he had on a black jumpsuit with two white stripes going down the middle, and your average racing helmet except without a visor. The helmet exactly matched his jet black hair. He was fine with the outfit, since it was a lot different from his normal ripped up clothes.
Titus finally realized he was in a race car, a nice looking one at that. Looking at the cars around him, Titus realized this was in fact a race. He saw all the different colored race cars. Some were colored like freshly dropped blood (Red), colored of the peaceful sea and sky before the tidal waves and storms (Blue). Some were grass colored and the color of the bright sun (Green and yellow). Titus looked around to the outside of his car and realized his was black, his favorite color.
Then, Titus looked at a yellow car and found the shocked face of his competitor he was supposed to play his game with, Pencillum. He had the same jumpsuit and helmet as him, except the color was amazingly bright. Brighter than most colors, like the sun was shining right in his face (Yellow). Titus realized yellow must have been his favorite color.
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. It's time for what you all came here to see!" yelled a man out of nowhere. Titus looked around for a second, trying to find the source of the voice. It took him a moment to realize it was the announcer in the booth. "Welcome, to the Mario Kart World Cup!"
What in the world? Bane, Titus' "Imaginary Friend" said In his head.
I don't know. We'll just have to roll with it. [/I]Titus replied.
Titus looked around and saw that the drivers of these cars were all from Mario Kart. He also realized that the crowd was filled with Koopa Troopas and the toads that would be around Princess Peach. Mario and Luigi were in their crimson blood colored and young full tree colored cars, Bowser in his giant car with the spikes, and, surprisingly, Princess Peach was on a motorcycle colored like that of a very light red (Pink).
The drivers all had serious looks on their faces, except for the shocked faces of him and Pencillum. Titus looked up to see clear skies with a few white clouds here and there. The sun was shining brightly, giving light to the whole race track. He looked in front of the starting line to find the gray road having a lot of oil spills, mystery boxes and everything else you'd see in a Mario Kart game. It also had brick outlining (SNES Mario Circuit 3: I did my research).
"You'll never beat me!" Pencillum called from in front of Titus, bringing him out of his observant daze. Pencillum seemed very sure of himself.
"We'll see about that" Titus replied.
"Okay, Ready!" the announcer yelled.
The drivers revved up their engines. Titus now had a determined look on his face as he put his feet on the pedals. He remembered that he had to defeat Pencillum, even if it was as dumb as a race.
Titus made a quick count of the people around him: Eight people including himself and Pencillum were in the race.
"Set!"
Pencillum looked back and shot Titus a smirk. Titus just smirked back and looked only at the road, hands clenched tight on the steering wheel, ready to win the race.
"Go!"
Chapter 2: Mario Kart: Crazy Edition
All of the drivers, including Titus and Pencillum, floored it. Titus looked back, seeing Koopa Troopa's car had a malfunction and didn't even start, swerving around for a few seconds before he could drive. Baby Mario and Princess Peach didn't start out as fast as the other drivers did, running into oil spills right at the beginning. That meant Titus was in 5th place.
He looked ahead and saw Pencillum, in front of him and two other cars.
I gotta catch up Titus thought.
Titus looked at the road in front of him. He just managed to dodge an oil spill, but hit the brick outlining in front of him. But, he managed to get back on the road before anymore race cars passed him.
Titus made a sharp turn, looking back at the tire marks on the road and rammed right into Bowser's race car in front of him. Bowser gave him an angry look. Bowser rammed into Titus back, almost sending him off the road. Titus looked around for any mystery boxes, knowing he couldn't beat Bowser with pure strength, as Bowser and Titus went head to head for 4th place.
He finally found three boxes and rammed into Bowser so he could miss the one on the right, letting Titus hit the one in the middle.
Titus waited for the the screen to finally settle on a power up. Bowser looked at Titus with an angry look on his face, ready to strike again.
Come on.. Titus thought.
Bowser smirked and moved more to the side so he could come back and ram him with more power just as the screen landed on the power up: A red Koopa shell.
Yes!
Titus moved back down the road more as Bowser rammed into nothing. Bowser looked around for Titus, but by the time he realized what was going on, it was too late. Titus sent out the Koopa shell.
The car made a huge dent in the back of Bowser's car and he flipped, letting Titus speed past him and bringing him to 4th place. That just left Mario, Luigi and Pencillum, Pencillum being in 1st place.
Suddenly, Titus watched as Pencillum hit an oil spill. Pencillum growled as he began to spin out of control, letting Mario shoot past him.
Titus saw the signature small thing (Anything i don't know means Titus doesn't) come down, signifying they were at lap 2/3.
Titus saw the mystery boxes and him, Mario, and Pencillum all hit the three mystery boxes. Looking at the screen, it showed Pencillum got the blue Koopa shell and Mario got the golden mushroom. Titus watched, hoping, praying he'd get something good.
A banana? Seriously? Titus said, frustrated.
Maybe Mario racing isn't your thing Bane said.
Titus sighed and put down the banana on the road behind him. Luckily, he saw on his screen it took down Bowser, who he didn't even realize was coming up fast.
Pencillum let Mario use his golden mushrooms, giving him a good lead against everyone, and then used the blue Koopa shell. Mario didn't even have the chance to react as it exploded, making Mario wipe out. Pencillum smirked as he shot past Mario, putting him back in 1st, Mario in 2nd, Luigi in 3rd and Titus in 4th.
After being halfway through the 2nd lap, Titus had enough of staying in fourth place. Titus rammed into Luigi, sending him into a nearby oil spill and putting Titus in 3rd place.
As they passed another row of mystery boxes, Titus was the only one out of Pencillum, Mario, and himself to get a mystery box. He looked at the screen, hoping he'd get something good this time.
Yes! he thought to himself.
A red Koopa shell! Titus smirked as he tried to speed up until he was just behind Mario.
"Cya later," Titus called. He released the Koopa shell out of the front of the car, hitting Mario with it and sending him into the brick wall. Titus felt slightly proud for passing one if his favorite Mario characters. But he had to get out of his daze as he looked at the person in front of him. Now it was just Titus and Pencillum.
Chapter 3: The Final Lap
Final lap Titus thought.
Beat this guy [i] Bane said in his mind.
Titus sped up and got right behind Pencillum. They both hit a mystery box.. And an oil spill. Pencillum and Titus spun around, bringing Mario and Luigi ever so closer to them. Luckily, Titus got three mushrooms, while Pencillum only got one.
"It's over!" Titus called as he used the three mushrooms to pass him to first. He felt the wind go through the small amount of jet black hair that was sticking out of his helmet.
"Don't bet on it!" Pencillum replied as he used his one mushroom to speed up and get right behind him. Titus looked behind him at Pencillum. This kid was too overconfident and it was time to show him who's the boss.
Halfway through the lap
Titus looked at his screen at an incoming blue Koopa.
No, no, no Titus thought.
His eyes widened as the familiar blue aura came over him. He closed his eyes as the shell exploded, sending him flying a few feet. Pencillum laughed as he sped past and took first place.
Titus looked on the screen and noticed Princess Peach had gotten Bullet Bill. He tried speeding up as much as possible, not ready to lose second place too. She pushed past to 4th place as Titus and Pencillum hit another mystery box.
Come on give me something good Titus thought.
He saw Pencillum got a green koopa shell, which he immediately tried to use on Titus. Titus gasped and dodged it quickly. It hit Mario, making him go off the road giving Princess Peach 3rd place.
Titus looked at the screen and noticed he also had a green koopa shell. He took the risk and sent it in front of him at Pencillum. Pencillum tried to dodge, but it was no use. It hit him right in the side of the car, making him swerve around like the usual Mario game and giving Titus the lead.
Three quarters through the lap..
"You won't beat me Titus, I won't let you" called Pencillum.
"That's funny," Titus replied, "I'm the one in the lead"
Pencillum was starting to catch up to him now. He was so close Titus saw his annoying smirk in the rear view mirror. They both managed to dodge the oil spill in front of them, but everyone else in the race seemed to hit it. Titus didn't mind, it made sure that it would just be him and Pencillum.
Finally, Titus saw the finish line from far away. He was happy to see that black and white checkered ground and the same colored banner. There were none of those beautiful looking mystery boxes between there and the finish line, so it was all up to pure strategy. At this point Pencillum was head to head with Titus, both of them ready to pass the other.
Pencillum smirked and rammed into the side of Titus' car. Titus gasped as his car rammed into the brick outline for about the third time. Pencillum laughed as he drove off, taking first place again in this back and forth race. Titus got back on the road even with his front dented, the hood gone and the screen that shows the power ups destroyed. He looked at Pencillum leading him, getting ever so closer to the finish line. With a determined look on his face, Titus floored it.
Titus got right behind Pencillum, trying his best to pass him. Sadly, the finish line was too close for him to pass him. Titus sighed, figuring out he had lost this game, starting to slow down his car. But, a half second before Pencillum crossed the finish line, they were warped and knocked out cold again.
Chapter 4: The Marathon
Titus opened his eyes to find he was now in a totally different place. He felt bumps under where he was laying, making him believe he wasn't in a paved road. He looked up to see clear skies, like the skies from Mario Kart, except a few more clouds. The sun was shining brightly on Titus, forcing him to cover his eyes.
Titus sat up and grabbed his back. Either he had been here on the hard ground a long time, or he had been dropped from the sky. He couldn't tell which.
Titus looked around and saw it was almost like a back road. In front and back of him was a bumpy dirt road with your average weeds coming out here and there. He looked around and saw many trees, all with the multiple colors of fall. Bright leaves that was as blinding as the sun in your eyes. (Yellow). Some were a color slightly darker than the yellow but not amazingly dark (Orange). And some were like fresh blood from a just killed corpse. (Red). And finally, the most abundant was a very plain color. If you mixed all colors together, it usually comes to this color (Brown). Some trees were tall, some short. Some pine, some with leaves falling off. It was such a big amount of trees that he thought he saw a Christmas tree. Above him was a banner, but he couldn't quite tell what it said from his place on the ground.
Titus heard some rustling of leaves and shot up quickly, turning around to where the sound was. He figured out it wasn't a real threat, it was Pencillum getting up, also grabbing his back. He wore a yellow track suit and his hair seemed more treated than before, combed back and cleaned. Titus looked down and realized his was the same, except the dark hole black. He felt his hair and realized it felt finely combed and brushed, something he wasn't used to.
"Where are we now?" Pencillum asked.
"I don't know," Titus replied.
Look at the banner Bane said in Titus' head.
Titus decided to look at the banner he was looking at before, now seeing the words. It read:
Marathon Race! Titus/Bane vs. Pencillum!
Titus sighed. It was another game.
Titus heard another rustling of leaves. He turned around quickly to find a short man, around 5 feet tall, coming out of the trees. He had a tuxedo on along with a top hat on his head and a cane at his side. He smiled, which is when Titus figured out he had perfect shiny white teeth. He just seemed like a perfect man.
"Are you boys ready?" he said. He had the same voice as the announcer from the Mario Kart place.
He probably keeps getting warped too Titus thought
"Yeah, I'm ready to truly beat this guy," Pencillum said, looking back at Titus and smi
