Prologue
Hello there casual and elite gamers alike! Are you tired of arguing over who the best video game character is? Tired of magazine articles listing ridiculous top ten heroes or villians? Do you wish every day that your favorite side character gets a more important role in the sequel?
Well, I have great news for you! No more shall debates, words, or hypothetical fights determine the winner. Oh no, it is YOU, the gamer that will decide which character reigns supreme! In this newly developped When Worlds Collide, the gamer will be granted control of a vast amount of characters, extending across all major and minor series from any and all consoles and handheld games!
Who will you choose to reign supreme as the champion? Will a hero vanquish evil? Will a villain achieve world domination? Or will a support character finally step into the spotlight for themselves? YOU decide!
But alas, I am afraid there is some bad news. Such a game with so much to play and involving many companies, it is impossible to sell in mass production. So, only four copies have ever been made! Now, it has been decided that these games will be given to four lucky winners! Look it up online and enter to win today! Who knows, maybe it will be you who gets your hands on When Worlds Collide.

Video Games.
You play them for hours. Many lives were lost to beat that one hard level or get that last little trophy to give you a 100% completion. You've suffered much from lost social life to broken controllers and televisions to sleepless nights. From franchises with what seems like hundreds of sequels and spin-offs to those one-hit wonders that entertain millions, there is one for everyone to enjoy. Since their birth, it was easy to see they would be around for a long time, new ones being made to keep up to the demands of the devoted fans and casual players alike.
The question is...which one of our beloved characters...is the best?
Many debate over it's who has the most games or who has the coolest moves. Entire forums revolve around argueing such things, resulting in no true answer. In the end, however, it's not up to us who reigns supreme over the gaming's most elite characters. No, it is up to the characters themselves.
Tired of the constant debate of this unknown question, it has been decided by a mysterious figure that a game of sorts is to be held. This game will be like a free-for-all tournament, placing the gaming world's most iconic characters up against each other in deadly combat!! From old to new, and protagonist to antagonist to even side-characters, all have been summoned to partake in this battle. But only one will win. Only one will take his/her/its place as the one and only, Games Champion.
However, this is not a tale of the victories of one character. Nor does it follow the tragic tale of another. The stage is a vast world full of many environments, and the players are all those from video games. But...a lone person will find themselves thrusted into this epic battle. This person will be unlike all the rest, a mere human like you and me. Facing many a trials, he will bare witness to a clash of titanic powers, finding himself in the midst of something even the more creative of minds fail to think up. This is what happens when the best fight it out. This is what happens when a normal man is placed in an abnormal situation. This is what happens when friends become foes.
This is what happens, when worlds collide.

********
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Adam groaned, it is way too early to wake up now. I mean it's only nine o’clock right? Adam un-covered his face from his blanket. His phone vibrating violently on the night stand next to his bed. Adam smacked his hand against the night stand, trying to find his phone without opening his eyes.
Adam squinted as he held his phone.
Incoming call from Ken.
Adam and Ken are best friends. They've been waiting months for a new game to be released. But this game isn’t just a normal game. It has tons and tons of characters from different generations all rolled into one big juicy game. The only problem is that not everyone gets to buy this game. Only four were made and only four people are chosen randomly to win it.
“Hello.” Adam answered his phone drowsily.
“Dude! Where the F are you!” Ken shouted over the phone.
“Uh, sleeping. It’s a thing I do over the weekend.”
“Get your ass up! You're going to miss it!”
“Miss what?”
Adam could hear Ken mumbling and stomping on the ground. “Are you serious! They’re going to announce the winner in ten minutes!”
At that moment it hit Adam like a ton of bricks. They’re announcing the winners of the game today! “O my gosh!!” Adam yelled.
“I’m outside your house. Your mom saw me and made me walk the dog.”
“Ha okay I’ll be right there!”
Adam jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom. He examined himself in the mirror. His brown hair all messy from sleep, but oh well. Chicks dig messy hair right? Next Adam opened his mouth. Eww! Chicks don’t dig stank breath. Adam quickly brushed his teeth.
Adam examined his fresh smile and clean face. He smiled at himself and ran out of his bathroom. Adam could hear Ken honking the car horn. “I’m coming!” Adam yelled out his window. Ken leaned against his small faded blue car. He held a leash, on the other end sat a small black poodle.
Adam quickly ran to his closet. Immediately he threw dirty jeans and stained shirts. Success! Adam found some clean jeans and a nice green shirt to match his eyes. Adam stripped his sleep ware and put on the jeans and shirt. Next he slipped on his converse shoes with a red and blue sock. It doesn’t match, but whose going to see it?
Adam smiled at his accomplishment of getting dressed. He snatch his phone from his bed and ran downstairs.
“About freaking time!” Ken shouted.
Adam blushed, “Sorry, I didn’t know what time it was.”
“Here put your dog inside.” Ken held up the leash.
Adam sighed and picked up the little black poodle name Susie. Little Susie Q barked as Adam ran back to the front door of the house. He gently set her down and slammed the door shut. “Okay lets go.”
Ken sped down the streets, Adam held on for his dear life. Ken wasn’t the safest driver out there. “Slow down!” Adam shouted.
“No! we’ll be late!”
Ken swerved the whole car and amazingly he parked perfectly. Adam exhaled, he always held his breath when Ken did these crazy stunts. Adam and Ken nearly jumped out of the car and ran outside of Game Stop. People lined the store outside. Game Stop isn’t the biggest store in the world. Outside they set up tables with microphones and a giant TV screen.
Ken and Adam of course were in the back of the crowd. A man who strangely had the same figure, look and almost everything of Albert Einstein started to speak into a microphone.
“Are you ready for the winners to be announced!” he said in a funny accent.
The crowd cheered, Ken screamed while Adam stayed silent.
“Before we announce the local winner here, lets see who won already!”
Everyone turn their attention to the TV screen. Names popped up. Adam wasn’t paying attention, but he did catch the names of the people. Judas, Karla and Lily. Everyone cheered as they watched the lucky winners' reactions. The TV went dim and the Albert Einstein duplicate began to talk.
“Now to announce the first winner from the Western United States!”
Everyone cheered, and even Adam joined in, for he was truly excited. He just hides his emotions. He doesn’t want to get too hyped up and then get disappointed. So then if he doesn't wins, he won’t feel as bad. Of course Ken is the total opposite. If he doesn’t win he’ll cry in his bed for days, maybe even weeks. It’ll take a long time for him to recover.
The Albert Einstein twin began to open an envelope. Ken had his hands to his face. His face so red, looked like he was about to burst.
“And the winner is…”
Total silence, drum roll please. “Adam Macario!”
Adam’s face dropped, his mind went blank and breathing was almost forgotten. Ken shook Adam to get him out of a trance. Adam shook it off, Albert Einstein shouted over the microphone to come to the front.
Everyone in the crowd cheered and made a path for Adam. He squeezed through people, everyone touching his shoulder and saying congratulations. Once Adam made it to the front Albert Einstein held the game up high with one arm. Everyone gazed at it, it was beautiful. It shone brightly in the midday sun, the gold cover blinding the crowd of game addicts.
Albert Einstein lowered his hand, him and Adam made eye contact. Adam knew this man freakishly looked like Albert Einstein, but he also looks like someone else. He couldn’t put his finger on it.
“Congratulations young man.” Albert freak man Einstein said.
Adam couldn’t help but smile, he extended his hand and took hold of the game. When Worlds Collide, the title of the game in big bold letters. The golden packaging stunned Adam and once again he forgot to breathe.
Once the announcement of Adam being the winner was over, everyone left for home. Ken dragged Adam to the car and raced home. For others they stuck around to buy a game for themselves, though they would never experience When Worlds Collide.
The Albert Einstein twin slipped from the front to the back ally of Game Stop. He examine every inch of the ally, making sure no one could see him. Once clear, Albert Einstein took a glance at his watch. He smiled a very evil smile and pressed the side button on his watch. A beam of light extended out from the watch and engulfed the Albert Einstein look alike. A second later the light flashed, fading into nothingness and Albert Einstein was gone, disappearing in the light.

“Didn’t I tell you! I told you!” Ken yelled to Adam in his room.
Both Adam and Ken began jumping up and down, celebrating in their own weird way.
“I know, I know! You were right!” Adam bounced, while balancing the game disc in his hand. Adam pressed a button on his PS3 and the tray slid out.
Adam’s hands started to shake but he gently put the game in. The tray closed and began to load the game.
Adam and Ken sat on the floor, inches away from the TV. Every moment of this game must be savored. Adam held the controller, it shook from nerves and happiness.
Starring your favorite video game characters!
Adam and Ken’s eyes popped out.
Such as Mario, Zelda, Cloud, Pikachu, Rachet and Clank, Sly Cooper, Kirby, Pac-Man, Pong, Sonic and many more!
Adam and Ken started to drool, as if they were looking at a beautiful girl walking down the street.
With new technology the newest character is you!
Both Adam and Ken pointed at themselves, like the game was speaking to them. As the graphics and fancy lettering fade, the game went to the START menu. Adam and Ken won’t admit it, but both screamed like girls at this point.
“You ready!?” Adam asked Ken. Both smiling crazy. “Yes! Press start!”.
Adam grin even more and gently press the start button. The screen went blank, then a swirling vortex sort of look came onto the screen.
“Wow that’s so cool!” Ken said.
The vortex spun faster and faster. Both Adam and Ken felt a wind, but the window wasn’t open. The wind grew in speed, papers being picked up in Adam’s room and swirled around the same direction of the vortex. Both Adam and Ken started to panic.
Adam could feel the vortex pulling him in, “Ken!”. Ken grabbed Adam’s hand as his body stretched out, getting closer to the TV. The vortex made haunting noises and Adam’s foot entered the TV screen. Ken’s grip started to loosen as the wind grew stronger. The vortex pulled harder and Adam’s body started to strain.
With one final pull the vortex won the tug-of-war with Adam’s body. Ken watched as his friend was being pulled into the TV screen. Once Adam completely disappeared, the wind stopped and the TV screen went blank. Ken ran to the TV, nothing unusual about it now. But what just happened totally defied the rules of reality.
