On a white smiling cloud, [url=http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130120020045/fantendo/images/b/b6/LakituNSMBU.png]Lakitu[/url] set out on a journey with a cloud-full of letters, requesting the aid of every hero the Koopa could find in the Arcade universe. He passed from one dimension to the next, finding heroes that they might have thought to have been too elusive to be found. Popping out of his cloud, he handed each hero that he found a letter with golden ink intricately written with curls and dips, and bearing the wax seal of a cluster of shapes on the back representing Tetris Castle and the Platform Kingdom. When the heroes would crack the seal on the letter and open it, the Koopa would quickly launch back into the sky, resuming his sworn duties. The letter read:

[color=00aeef][i]Dear Hero,

You are receiving this letter because you were chosen to undertake a most challenging task. Your life will be endangered if you so choose to selflessly take up arms in defense of your world as well as others…[/i][/color]

The letter went on to explain the Mugen Virus, and how it had so far corrupted the seven kingdoms. It spoke of the villains who had submitted to the virus and who now threaten to expand their infectious armies into other universes. If nothing was done, then The System would crash. At the end of the message, the heroes were given the option to circle “yes” if they would undertake the mission to save The System or “no” if they wouldn’t. They could easily make their decision by writing utensil or touching either answer with their finger. When “yes” was chosen, the letter folded closed on its own and vanished in a puff of smoke. A white magic circle burst into existence on the ground before the hero, acting as a summoning circle to pull them from their dimension into the Platform Kingdom.

Upon arriving, they would manifest within the vast foyer of a castle that didn’t have a lord, guard, or servant in sight. It was so empty that even the softest of footsteps resonated off the walls, and in this case, the footsteps of an orange, bipedal creature were heard shuffling over to the heroes.

Still it hadn’t been enough. When you were planning to go to war against an army well…you expected to have an army, but it would do.

[color=orange][b]@!#?@![/b][/color] said Qbert. A robotic gibberish left his massive siphon that not many would understand, but whatever he said, he started to walk away and then stopped to peer over his nonexistent shoulder. [color=orange][b]@!#?@![/b][/color]

Whatever he was saying, by this point, it was probably something like “follow me.” The little guy would lead them to an elevator and with his beak, he jumped up and pecked the button for the upper levels and afterwards pecked in the numbers 2-6. The warp elevator resounded with a loud hum as it began to glow with a blue luminescence. Qbert stepped closer to the elevator and jumped into it, his orange feet flipping over his head into a front flip before he winked out of existence. The heroes would have to pad in the correct floor and proceed similarly if they wished to follow, however, the warp elevator was capable of warping more than one person.

Upon exiting the warp elevator, the heroes would be hit by a warm aroma of spices, roasted meats, baked buttered bread, and more! Before them was a grand reception hall and parallel to each other were massive tables filled with steaming food that green-haired waiters and waitresses tended to. Wine was carried to the table, fluffy dinner rolls, and fancy cheesecakes. It was a feast fit for a king’s ball, and while there were no kings or queens present, Qbert motioned with his beak for the heroes to help themselves.
