	“I can’t believe that we wasted all that time trying to beat that stupid plumber and all we had to do was poke him twice!” Gajana complained while Odysseus, Talus, and he were finally entering into city hall.

	“Well, considering all its takes is a Goomba running into him in the video games, I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised.” Talus answered his teammate.

	The first room that they approached was the ground floor lobby. The entire premise seemed deserted because of the mischief that the Game Genie was cause across the city.  A few feet away from the entrance doors was a reception desk. While no one was manning the desk at the moment, the computer was still running. Although the computer was password protected, this little obstacle would not hinder Talus. After pulling out a USB cable from his metallic arm and connecting himself to the computer, Talus easily broke through the password that locked the computer.

	“So, whatcha doing?” Gajana asked as he leaned over the service desk.

	“Shhh!” Talus raised his finger up to his mechanical lips. “One wrong calculation and this entire building will go!”

	Talus only received blank stares from Odysseus and Gajana. “Oh, I’m just pulling your legs.” He finally admitted to them. “I’m just checking what this Game Genie is up to. Looks like he’s digitally storing people inside a database of some sort. We better find a way to free them because one blackout might erase thousands of people from existence.”

	His allies still gave Talus blank stares even after he tried to clear things up.  “Come on, guys! I didn’t even use any complex terminology this time!”

	Then suddenly, a pillar of light appeared several yards away from where the three heroes were standing. And in this light, what looked like a [url=http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/sakurai/images/1/18/Pit_Bow.png/revision/latest?cb=20120425025847]young boy[/url] with wings descended to the floor. He held a bow in his hands.

	“I got this.” Odysseus said as he approached the newcomer. “You keep doing, well, whatever you’re doing.”

	“Lady Palutena! Who is that?” The boy cried aloud, when he saw Odysseus approach towards him.

	“That is Odysseus, Pit.” A heavenly voice said from above that boomed through the building. “He is supposedly the legendary Ithacan king reincarnated.”

	“Well, I better be on my game!” Pit called out to the disembodied voice.  He took his bow and pulled back on its bowstring. At that moment, an arrow made out of pure light formed on his bow. He then launched it at Odysseus. Although Odysseus dodged out of the way, the arrow uncannily swerved off its course. As a result, it slammed into the man’s stomach, sending him flying backwards, although Gajana was there to catch him.

	“Oh, Pit, I forgot to mention that it is rumored that he still has the armor of the hero Achilles.”

	“That would have been good to have known a few moments ago!”

	Alright. I know that I might have already mentioned this, but things are [b]really[/b] getting crazy around here. I saw a [url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1c/Vectorman2.jpg/250px-Vectorman2.jpg]a green robot[/url] blowing up television screens down the street. Pacman was chasing some ghosts a few blocks away. And there was even a small, purple dragon on the loose. But what takes the cake is this [url=https://nookipedia.com/w/images/a/a4/Tom_Nook_3DS.png]talking racoon[/url] (thank goodness he isn’t the trigger happy variety) kept on pestering me about buying some small house. I mean, where does this even happen?

	“Now miss, just for one small payment of 19,800 bells, you can have a nice, cozy home of your own!” The bipedal racoon told me again. I have already lost track of how many times he had asked that same question.

	[color=b22222]“I’ve already told you. I’m not looking for any stupid house!”[/color]

	“If you don’t have all the money right now, you can always pay for the house in smaller payments. Plus, I could find some odd jobs for you to do to make up for the lack of funds.” The racoon offered. He obviously was not taking no as an answer.

	[color=b22222]“No! That’s not it. I just…ugh! Why am I even having an argument with a stupid racoon!”[/color]

	“I’m a very successful businessman, if I do say so myself.”

	While this well-dress racoon kept harassing me about the house, one of those cubes snuck up on me. Even with my enhanced reflexes, I couldn’t dodge the red laser that the cube fired at me. One moment, I was standing next to that racoon.  The next, I found myself surrounded in pitch black with green zeroes and ones swirling around me.

	[color=b22222]“Well, this is great.”[/color]
