	Three of the Immortals camped outside of the Pacific Point City Hall, taking cover behind a nearby car. These three men rested their back against this car as energy shots soared over the top of the vehicle. One of the men, Odysseus, took any opportunity that he could take to return some fire with his arrows.

	“The enemy team has a Hanzo, a Zenyatta, and a Roadhog.” A [url=http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/overwatch/images/5/5f/Tracer_Concept.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160502182745]woman[/url] with a British accent communicated with her own allies.

	“I’ll make your regret those words.” Odysseus mumbled under his breath as he stood up again to fire another arrow at the woman who had the three heroes pinned down.

	“You do know that Hanzo is a video game character and not some sort of derogatory term, right?” Talus cautioned his fellow Immortal.

	“Didn’t know.”  Odysseus said as he aimed his arrow. “Don’t care.”

	Since his target kept blinking into and out of reality, as it seemed, Odysseus had to anticipate where this woman would appear next. Once he had decided where that would be, Odysseus let the arrow fly. If somebody were watching him shooting the arrow, that person would have thought he was aiming at nothing. However, a few moments later, the woman reappeared right in the line of fire of the arrow. Taken by surprise, she did not have the time to react to the incoming projectile.  The arrowhead pierced through the woman’s goggles, shattering it on impact. However, instead of the arrow becoming lodged into the woman’s eye, as would be the natural result, she dissolved into numerous pixels before disappearing entirely. The arrow, meanwhile, fell harmlessly to the ground.

	“Wow.” Talus complemented Odysseus, “I wouldn’t guess that you knew that headshots in FPS games dealt more damage!”

	“I didn’t.” Odysseus bluntly answered the metal man, “Any projectile that pierces through the skull and into the brain is almost always game over.”

	“Alright…” Talus said, slightly concerned about the reason why Odysseus decided to go for the headshot. “We better rush in before something else appears to stop us.”

	Almost as if he had jinxed them, a giant, green pipe rose up from the pavement. And jumping out of this bizarre pluming was a short man dressed in a red shirt and cap, along with a pair of blue jeans.

	“Here we go!” The [url=http://www.ssbwiki.com/images/e/e1/Mario_SSB4.png]man[/url] shouted as he exited the green pipe.

	“This should be a piece of cake.” Odysseus declared as he lifted up his bow again and took aim at the short plumber.
	
	“Wait! I wouldn’t do that!” Talus warned Odysseus, but it was too late.  He had already let the arrow fly towards the red-garbed plumber. Immediately, Talus tackled Odysseus to the ground, since he knew what was going to happen.

	While the arrow was darting towards the plumber, it appeared as if he would suffer from the same fate as the woman whom Odysseys had already taken down. However, at the last second, the plumber whipped out a yellow cape from his back pocket and swung it in front of himself.  When the arrow came into contact with this magical cape, the arrow was somehow turned around and sent back towards where Odysseus had been standing.

	“You’re welcome.” Talus told Odysseus, who brushed the metal man off, even though he almost had his own arrow hit himself.

	“I’ve got this.” Gajana told his two teammates as he stepped out from behind the car that they had been using as cover.  The elephant man towered over the plumber. “Alright, Mario. I think it’s time for you to go back to the Mushroom Kingdom, where you belong.”

	Mario, in response to Gajana’s threat, immediately knocked the giant man off his feet by performing a breakdancing move. Then, the red plumber grabbed Gajana’s feet and somehow started to swing him around in a circle, like he would do in his 3D platformer games. After several rotations, Mario finally released Gajana, sending the elephant man into the air. Due to the trajectory of Mario’s throw, Gajana crashed into the roof of the car that Odysseus and Talus were hiding behind.

	“Sorry, G.” Talus told Gajana, “You basically brought that upon yourself by uttering the famous last words.”

	“Shut up.” Gajana responded. 

	Then suddenly, countless metallic cubes burst out from the roof of City Hall, scattering in all directions.

	“And what are those?” Odysseus pondered aloud.

	“You’re the nerd, Talus.  Shouldn’t you know.” Gajana said.

	“I have no idea what those are.” Talus answered his teammates, “Unless you want to hear the obvious answer.”

	This is crazy. This city has been invaded by a horde of video game characters and all because villain, who called himself the Game Genie, has some buff with a single hero, whom no one hear has heard of. Now, I have a human-sized, orange [url=http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/f/f9/Ffta-bangaa-dragoon.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20061220230737]lizardman[/url] intent on skewering me. It was almost like a dance that we performed as the lizardman jabbed at me with the lance in his hand while I ducked and side-stepped his attacks. 

	The lizardman suddenly stopped in his tracks and began inhaling in order to fill up his lungs with air.  When his lungs were full, he breathed out a stream of fire. I barely evaded this jet of flames when I leapt backwards. Then the whole attack and dodge routine continued until it tried its fire attack for the second time.  However, this time, Kyra, who saw the lizardman use its fire breath moment ago, tossed herself in between myself and the lizard warrior in order to take the brunt of the attack.

	[color=b22222]“Are you alright?”[/color] I asked her in the middle of combat, concerned because she had just been scorched by the lizardman’s fire attack.

	“Hey, you’re the one who said that I transform into a Ninetales.” Kyra joked with me as she planted a kick in the lizardman’s gut.  Due to her powers, Kyra’s body was able to safely absorb the heat and flames that the lizardman had spewed out. Now that it was momentarily stunned by having the wind knocked out of it, Kyra stepped aside to give me an opening. I then hit him with a webline and yanked him towards me. Using similar physics as a baseball batter would to send the ball flying, with one well-timed punch, I launched the lizardman a few feet in the opposite direction, causing him to land on his back.

	“We really need to draw these battles away from the city.  We can’t let innocent lives get harmed in the crossfire.”  Kyra said.  At that moment, I heard a clunk noise of a drawn bow resound off in the distance. Fortunately for Kyra, I was able to snatch the arrow from out of the air before it could hit her by using my enhanced reflexes. Several yards ahead of us, we saw the assailant. [url=http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/7/75/Viera.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20060311230106]She[/url] wore yellow clothes, although what was peculiar about her was that she had rabbit ears and weirdly shaped feet.

	[color=b22222]“But how?”[/color] I asked, [color=b22222]“These guys are coming out of the woodworks!”[/color]

	“Thundara!” Another voice, this one of a [url=http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/e/e8/Ffta-h-blackmage.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20061219004055]man[/url], shouted aloud from a distance.  Above both Kyra and I, a dark storm cloud formed. If it were not for the timely intervention by the Son of Osiris, who formed a bubble shield around the three of us.

	“We just are going to have to find a way.” We heard the Son of Osiris speak inside our heads via his telepathy.

	“What’s that?”  Kyra pointed towards a large, flying mass that was quickly approaching them.  At first, it looked like a swarm of insects. However, once it came closer, it was clear that whatever made up this ‘cloud’ was not organic. They were hundreds of metallic cubes tumbling through the sky, emitting red beams down towards the ground.

	[color=b22222]“How could this get any worse?”[/color]
