VGF Forums: 2064

[Yami Yoshi]

Episode 1: VGF Forums

The year is 2064 and VGF Forums has become the most popular internet community in the world. Over 10 billion users have registered as members. In the year 2038, VGF developed a system that let the members transfer their minds online into an interactive world. This allowed them to physically interact them with the members online.

However, the system was not perfect. Spammers and hackers invaded the boards and destroyed the minds of several members. When a member's mind was destroyed, their real world body was left empty and lifeless. To prevent this, Shane Saccobie, the leader of VGF Forums hired Moderators to protect the community from threats such as those. The forums have been safe since then...until now...

Los Angeles, California, 12:02 P.M.

Inside a normal suburban home...

*A black-haired teenager by the name of Alex is sitting at the table scarfing down his lunch*

Alex: *chomp* This lunch is great mom!

Alex's Mom: Don't eat so fast! You might choke!

Alex: Don't worry! I'll be fine!

*Alex swallows the rest of his fries and takes a huge bite out of his cheeseburger. He throws the empty fry container and his half eaten burger in the trash-can and runs over to his computer and logs onto the internet. He moves his mouse cursor to the address bar and types in www.vgf.com/forums*

Alex: It's time to log on to Yami Yoshi!

*Alex goes to the Log-In screen and types in his user name and password and clicks the Log In button. After a few seconds, the words "Welcome Yami Yoshi. Attach your Mind Transfer machine now. Then click the Mind Transfer button"

Alex: Alright...

*Alex attaches various cords to his arms and legs and places a large helmet on his head. Then he clicks on the Mind Transfer button*

Alex: Here we go...

*A few seconds later, Alex finds himself in a large metropolitan city inside the body of a black Yoshi, Yami Yoshi*

Yami Yoshi: Time to head to the OG Story Board!

*Yami Yoshi walks through the various crowds of the city. They clear the path for him for he is a Moderator. He walks into a building labeled OG Story Board. Inside the building is a long hallway with doors labeled with titles like "One Word Per Post Story" and "Choose Your Own Adventure 100".

Yami Yoshi: Hey! What's up everyone?

*Yami Yoshi is greeted by a monkey that bears a striking resemblence to Donkey Kong, GORE-ILLA*

GORE: Hey Yami Yoshi!

Yami Yoshi: Hey GORE! What's happening?

GORE: Not much, except for VGF Member OG 55 was deleted by a glitch.

Yami Yoshi: Another one? We've been having a lot of glitches lately.

GORE: Indeed. I hope we're not being hacked.

Yami Yoshi: This Internet Community is the most secure one on the web. I highly doubt it. Only an Admin would be able to hack into VGF Forums...

Meanwhile at the VGF Headquarters...

*Several people are sitting at desks in front of computers. Shane Saccobie stands up and speaks to the people*

Shane: Admins! There have been several glitches occuring at the forums. Members have reported several deleted topics. Do you know how this is happening?

*A man stands up from his desk*

Shane: Do you have something to say Jared?

Jared: I think that one of the admins here is hacking into VGF Forums.......

[Yami Yoshi]

Episode 3: Mod Jobs

*Yami Yoshi walks through the hallway of doors when he comes across a door labeled "Yami Yoshi Sucks".*

Yami Yoshi: Better check this out...

*Yami Yoshi opens the door and sees Lupus arguing with Black Skull Dragoshi and Fusion in a room.*

Lupus: Yami Yoshi sucks! He's a crappy Mod! I should've won that election!

BSD: Shut up Lupiss!

Fusion: You're a jerk!

Lupus: Stop stealing stuff from the U.N. Fusion!

Yami Yoshi: That's enough! Everyone out!

*The three members leave the room and walk out into the hallway*

Yami Yoshi: It's time to lock this...

*Yami Yoshi pulls a lock out of his pocket and places it on the door handle?

Lupus: Pssh...

*A grim reaper-like figure appears behind Lupus pointing his scythe at him*

Yami Yoshi: WEAPON!

WEAPON: Banned.

Lupus: Not again...

*WEAPON slashes Lupus' body with the scythe and it is slowly erased bit by bit*

WEAPON: Some people never learn...

[SuperMarioBro#1]

*SMB#1's son, SMB#2 logs in, and does the mind transfer*

*SMB#2 appears in the world of VGF, appearing as his father's Sprite:

*He walks into the Mario forum building, where his father is a moderator, and opens the door to AASMQGAKOA 64 Turbo Edition. He runs into it*

SMB#2: Wait a second, I'll post my idea after I get the game Resident Evil Turbo Dual Shock Editon 23 X2!

*Logs off to get his game*

OOC: Just one question- shouldn't it be Shane jr.? Or is he immortal? Or is he just REALLY old at this time?

*TCG signs in, and appears as Cream the Rabbit.*

TCG: Oh great... how will I get through these crowds...?

*Dodges through the crowds over to the OG story forum*

*Runs over to YY*

TCG: um... Hello! I'm new here. Can you help me? I'm lost.

YY: Hm? *turns around* *Goes trough his list of profiles* Hey! It says here that you entered here in August 2001!

TCG: This was my Grandmothers account. It helps gather up the number of posts.

YY: I see...

GORE-ILLA walks trough the hallways of the OG Board, looking for any interesting topics. H finds one and opens the door, finding himself in a
Donkey Kong Country OG. He munces on bananas as he searchs for the other members in the topic.

***
Swiftly and silently it glides through the hallways of the OG Board. It approached a random topic door and latched on to it. The door glew, and a second later the topic and all members inside it disappeared from existance. It then flew further through the hall, past the 100-page Life And Adventures of Miyamato, and finally stopped at a topic labeled, "Donkey Kong Country OG".

To Be Continued....

Legion drifted through the halls of the OG Story Board, a lone grey Shy Guy struggling to keep up.

Srgt. Shy Guy: Please...Sir...Slow...Down...

Legion sighed and wondered again why he kept the program around him. One of the revolutions that had come with VGF Forum's upgrade had been the introduction of independant programs, first appearing as Goombas and Koopas in the NintendoLand section. Eventually these programs had set up their own virtual world inside the VGF mainframe. And the Sergeant and his armies had been the first to come to him.

Legion: Well maybe if you spent more time training instead of stuffing your face...

Srgt. Shy Guy: What?

Legion: I said...

Srgt. Shy Guy: I heard what you said. And I won't stand for it. I fought in the Mushroom Race War!

Legion: If by fought you mean having neat little holes punched through you by large amounts of Bullet Bills, then yes you did fight.

Srgt. Shy guy: Grrr...

As the two rounded the next corner they noticed a , well, a thing, drifting through the corridors.

Legion: Hey, what are y...

The shape turned to them and began to grow, stretching across the wide corridor, then began to advance on them.

Legion: On second thought, you just get on with you business and I'll just get out of your way.

And with that, the two ran. Into a wall. Very hard. And very painfully.

Legion: Ouch. *faints*

Episode 8:Another way that the topic were deleted.

At the HQ.................

Shane:I'll have to make a topic about this glitch at the Announcment Board!

At the Announcment Board.........

Shane*After making a topic about the glitch in the Annoucment board*:Is there anything else about this problem that anyone else would like to talk about this threat?

BSD:I would.

Shane:BSD,what do you have to say about this?

BSD:Jared's assumption is possible,but there is another posssibility.

Shane:And what would that would be?

BSD:That one of the spammers *cough*LoserJello*cough* has created a device that allows hackers to break through the Anti-hacker barrrier created by you,WEAPON,and Tritoch.

Neo:All i'm hearing is "I deserve to be banned" from you,BSD .

BSD:Shut it,worm!

Introbulus:I never saw BSD get this PO'ed ever since DM called him a fricken moron that's as retarded as the Telletubbies and I mean BSD is a little bit retarded,but only up to the retardedness level of a normal human.

Neo: No one calls me a worm!

BSD*With glowing orange eyes and speaking in a dark,demonic tone*ragon of the Darkness Flame!

DVGBA: Holy cow! He's using the strongest Spirit energy attack of all time which can kill anyone in a single hit,but here it will only terminate a member's connection to VGF! Everybody,hit the dirt!

Everyone except Neo hits the dirt.

Neo:You're so retarded i'm gonna sing a song about it!

BSD releases the attack even though it can't be controlled in hopes that it hits Neo in a chance of terminating her connection to VGF temprorarily instead of her brain.

Neo:*continues singing until she sees the dragon*What the *bleep* is that? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The dragon terminates Neo's connection from VGF for 10 minutes.

Shane,WEAPON,and Tritoch:That was uncalled for!

BSD:Yes,it was,and i'm sorry,but I have a short fuse. Arghhhhhh! Someone's hacking into my brain! I gotta stop em'!*Warps to his brain*

LJ:It's time to eliminate BSD!

Suddenly, LJ's right arm is cut off.

LJ:Nooooooooooooooo!!!!

BSDie!

LJ:Noooooooooo!!!!!*loses other arm*

Suddenly,Tritoch appears.

Tritoch:LJ,why are you doing this?

LJ:To kill BSD.

Tritoch:I'll just have to use an IP Ban on you!

LJ is erased instantly.

BSD leaves then GORE,Fusion,YY,Introbulus,and SM appear.

GORE:What was that sound?

BSD:It was the sound of LJ being IP banned!

Fusion:How did he get to your brain?

BSD:He used a device that could break through the Anti-hacker barrier!

SM:When will he friggin learn?

YY:Never.

BSD:Right-o.

Introbulus:Right-o?

BSDon't ask.

They all look at Legion.

BSD:That had to hurt.

Everyone except BSD and Legion:No joke.

Episode9: Virus

A character that resembles fighter from the ff series appears wearing fine leather boots, a set of darkred armor and brown hair with gleaming teal eyes appears, a buster type sword from ff7 is on his back, held on by a leather belt.

Ed: Another day, another forum... seems Ninty Land did a remolding job.

Ed looks up at a continent far across a ocean of marshmellows, the land has multiplue sections for each forum. Just then in the sky a swarm of giant insect like creatures are flying about.

Ed: Viruses... Thoses should've been deleted by now unless... NOT AGAIN!

At a building in VGF central city aka the VGF homepage a certain program is going out of comission.

Monitor: Norton Anti Viral/Hacking program on auto self delete *a flashing red skull appears then the screen shuts off*

???: Perfect, with viruses running loose I'll be able to crash vgf more easily...

Crowds of videogame character and anime character costumed vgfers are running in panic as fleets of viruses are either devouring users or wreaking structures. Many are attacking but can't hold these misfits of data back.

A siren goes off...

Siren: Warning, Corrupted data is in the area, Log off now, Log off now. Lo..g... oooff... nn *zzzzizzzzzzizizizzzzz*

The Siren falls over as the bugs chewed it right off its pole.

[Yami Yoshi]

Episode 10: Virus Fever

*Yami Yoshi walks out of the OG Story Board Building and sees a giant centipede devouring a member*

Yami Yoshi: A virus! Everyone! Log off!

*Yami Yoshi watches as all of the members rush over to the Log Off building when he hears a beeping noise in his pocket. He pulls out a mobile phone and flips it open*

Yami Yoshi: I have a Private Message from Shane! Let's see what is says...*reading* Yami Yoshi. Relocate as many members as you can to the Log Off building while we find away to stop the virus...

Inside the VGF HQ...

Tritoch (Jared): The viruses are deleting everything they consume. Several members have already had their minds erased.

Shane: The only way a virus could get in is if the Firewall is down...someone must have disabled it...We must reactivate it to stop the viruses!

*Shane logs on to his computer and clicks on the shortcut labeled Firewall. A window pops up and says "Please Enter the Password". Shane types in the password and clicks on the OK button. Suddenly, the words "Invalid Password appear on the screen*

Shane: WHAT!?

Tritoch: Someone probably disabled Firewall and changed the password...but who?

Elsewhere inside a small log cabin in the mountains...

*A teenage boy sits in front of his computer monitor laughing*

Teenage Boy: Ha ha ha ha ha! I, Justin, have finally successfully hacked into VGF Forums! They shall soon belong to me! Ha ha ha ha ha!

[SuperMarioBro#1]

Episode 11:

*SMB#2 logs on and sees the centipede*

SMB#2: OH GOD! Huh? A Private Message!

*Takes his mobile phone out*

SMB#1: Hurry! Log Out before you get consumed by it! I've seen members get eaten! Hurry! OH MY- *Static on screen*

SMB#2: Oh god no! Another PM!

*Opens phone*

SMB#1: Sorry about that! I lost my mobile phone, so I had to take one I found by a dead body. Shane has contaced everyone by phone, check your PM's!

SMB#2: OK.

Shane: This is Shane! I have contaced everyone about this, so don't worry. Just get to the log out building now!

SMB#2: Correct.

*In the Log Out building*

SMB#2: Here we go, and WTF!!!!

*PM*

Shane: It appears nobody can log out, some mutants are blocking the way!

*You can hear, "OH MY GO-" *SQUISH* in the background*

SMB#1: Oh god! Someone's head! This is serious now, do whatever you can!

SMB#2: I will!

[gamechamp3000]

Episode 11: Gamechamp Makes His Appearence

Meanwhile, outside a topic labled "EVERYBODY SUCKS!!!!! WE RULE!!!!! YOU ALL SUCK!!!!! YOU ALL ARE (bleep) IDIOTIC PEOPLE THAT SUCK!!!!!

A red Megaman named Gamechamp in VGF is thrown out of the door.

Gamechamp: Grrrrrrrrrr... stupid spammers... Oh well, the mods'll get them. Wait a minute... ACK!

He sees all of the insect viruses.

Gamechamp: Oh, no... I'm getting flashbacks... my entire collection of fangames... deleted... my fanfiction storys... deleted... I DON'T WANT TO BE NEXT!

He starts running, avoiding the bugs to get to the log off building, and bumps into Yami Yoshi.

Gamechamp: Yes! Yami Yoshi! You've got to help! There are a bunch of viruses!

Yami Yoshi: I know, they're all over the place! I need to go find other members to save! Stay with me until we've got them!

~Just then, Shane hops in, looking like this:
~

Shane: You guys okay?

~Ed comes running to log off building.~

BSD: Who are you, and where did you come from?

YY: That's Shane! Where DID you come from, though?

Shane: No time to explain. Just get all the members out, okay?!

~Shane dashed out into the center of VGF, where the problem was greatest. On the way he slashed up viruses, jumping out of the way of some and even doing some wall-jumping. Everyone watched Shane go off, forgetting their own threat. A bug came up to Yami Yoshi, reminding him. He was able to shake it off and delete it, thank goodness.~

YY: OH! That's right! Everyone, quickly, log off!

~Yami Yoshi filed everyone in orderly and quickly. A lot of people escaped, but he had no idea how much out of the total. He hoped it was most. In any case, just as Yami Yoshi was about to log off, he saw Shane jump down into a pit. Was it jumping, or was he...? Yami Yoshi logged off.

Alex immediately sent Shane an e-mail. He waited days... nothing. Sent another... no response. He was getting worried. Alex talked with the others about it. He was the only one willing to go back in.

Yami Yoshi strolled through the halls, as empty as his dinner plate. Nothing...

He came up to the pit where Shane landed. Nothing there, either. It wasn't really a pit, but it was just shallow enough for a man to stand in it and not be seen. Yami Yoshi pondered its purpose for a few, then noticed a note in it. He picked it up and read it.~

YY: "The board's owner cannot be destroyed. He is only sleeping... Awaken him and give him your power, he will save the board."

~The note was yellowed and creased like it was old. Yami Yoshi looked around, but there was no one.~

YY: "Follow your heart to the depths of the board. Find the truths, find your power. Find Shane.

Sincerely,
Rob 64"

(Meanwhile, still on the boards)

Fred: Bah, those viruses are still after us, GL.

GL: It's a bit obvious.

Fred: Oh, comeon, I had to say it for the viewers at home.

GL: Fine, then. It's too bad they're not our viruses.

Fred: They could be...

GL: Sure, why... Wait, no. We can't take on such viruses, not even in such a megaman.exe-esque world.

Fred: Well, TWIFATIT can.

GL: Right. We just need to get to TWIFATIT.

Fred: Sure. But the milk carton must be full before-

GL: No! You've got it all wrong! It's the water fountain that sprays out soap that goes in first!

(suddenly, Fred is hit in the back)

Fred: Bah, somebody gonna be a hurting...

GL: It's a couple viruses. We can wipe 'em.

(suddenly, two humanoid-esque shapes appear. They are made of a liquidy substance, and have no definite shape. They are green, and slightly taller then 5.5 "cyber-feet" tall)

Fred: Ok, let's see what these punks have got.

(Fred jumps and throws a punch at the one on the left. The punch connects, and goes straight through the monster. The monster forms it's liquid tighter around Fred's hand so that he cannot move it.)

Fred: Ah! They're immune to physical attacks!

GL: (cliche evil laugh) Well, I can fix that, with THE DEVIL'S SCEPTER!

(GL launches the devil's scepter in the most awesomly cliche fashion, and it connects with monster on the right while swinging sideways. It cuts clean through the virus, and when it tries to reform, it's data starts to change. The virus consumes the other virus right off Fred's arm, making the changed slime bigger)

Fred: Eh? What the hell?

GL: I can control the viruses I hit with my scepter. They're weak ones, so it's easy to make them do my bidding. Now, to get to TWIFATIT and the UN.

(meanwhile)

Pchan: Muahahah! My evil army has no equal! Let's see, here. As long as I stay away from the Gunjin forum until my army grows, there is no stopping me. Muahahaha! (not nearly as evil or cliche as GL's incredibly evil/cliche combo of a uberlaugh)

GTX (Awesome Colin): You dirty pig, you shall never defeat us, eh comrades?

Bunch of VGFers: Yea.

GTX: I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

Bunch of VGFers: SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!

GTX:...Close enough.

Chapter 12 - Ancient Machinery
----------------------------------
Mike, fresh from the cryogenics lab, enters his house. It looks the same as it did when he froze himself those years ago.

<Mike> Wonder if VGF's still around?

He chuckles and goes to his room, where an ancient computer from the last century lies on a desk, decrepit and rusty. He turns it on, expecting it to have died, but it works perfectly. He hooks his VGF Gear up, the gear also being aged; first-generation.

<Mike> Still works... wonder why? Thing shoulda died ages ago. Oh well.

He logs in, taking the shape of a male summoner; Sabrilocke. He's overwhelmed by all the change around him. Suddenly, his PM machine rings. He checks his PM's; two hundred and fourty-six.

<Sabrilocke> Hmm? *checks one in bold red text* This one's new. ...not good.

He turns around, a giant spider looming overhead. He runs.

-At Log-Out Building-

Several members are flocking out, now Sabrilocke is confused and exhausted.

<Sabrilocke> What- *pant* -are we doing? First we gotta go- *pant* -in, then out?

He gets several strange looks from the newer members. He just exhales a raspy breath and follows everyone.

{ They were supposed to exit, right? }

Yami Yoshi runs through the halls.

Yami Yoshi: Where is everyone?

???: Yami Yoshi?

Yami looks over and sees a badly-scarred GORE-ILLA

Yami Yoshi: GORE? I thought you were logged off?

GORE: Nah, that was just one of BSD's posts. The glitch devoured a topic while I was in it...I barely escaped.

Yami Yoshi: Wait, what's that sound?

GORE: Run. Now.

Ed logs in to find himself in the ruins of the VGF main, towering sky scrapers are crippled and weaken by the attacks of the viruses, bones are scattered around, a skeletal figure is cluthing a sword and wearing tattered armor, a vgfer lost of its mind.

Ed: Good lord... This isnt right!

Ed dashes into a building to find a topic about the virus attack, many more carcasses lie around. Security drones lie around partly alive or destroyed as their orb like eyes slowly fade from glowing in a yellow light.

*shika shiiika shhiiiiika shhhhiiika shika*

Ed: what in the world is that sound?

*shiika shika shika shika shika shikaaaa!!!*

A giant scorpion like robotic creature lunges at me with its red eyes glaring like flames.



Shikaaa! Shikkkaa!!!!

Legion awoke to find himself being rocked back and forth on the floor. Turning he saw Srgt. Shy Guy get up and smile.

Srgt: Thank God you're awake!

Legion: What is going on that makes you need to awaken me? And why is that VGFer dissolving in a pool of venomous slime.

Srgt: Legion, you should know by now what the obvious answer is going to be.

Legion: Yes.

With that, he unsheathed a sword thar he could have sworn wasn't there before, and leapt round.

Legion: Die spamme...Oh b-b-beeswax.

Legion himself face-to-claw with a huge crab-like virus, mouthpieces grinding as it opened one huge claw. Srgt. Shy Guy was sitting on the floor with Legion's PM messanger and seemed to be calling one up.

Srgt. Shy Guy: Hey look! There's one from Shane here. Let's see. 'Dear VGF user. A virus has invaded the system. All active members proceed to the Log-Out building.

Legion turned around and scowled at the Srgt.

Legion: ...Now you bloody tell me.

Just then the virus leapt up and its hindlegs and began to charge towards them. As Legion fled, a thought suddenly came to him.

Legion: Hey! Don't crabs usually walk sideways?

Srgt. Shy Guy: WHO CARES?

They seemed to have been running for ages, though when Legion opened his eyes he found he was on his back, still trying to run, with Yami Yoshi and a badly-wounded GORE leaning over him.

Yami Yoshi: ...What the hell are you doing?

TCG: *Runs for the Log-out building while being chased by a virus, and finds out the building is locked*
Just perfect...
*Notices a pole going out from the side of the wall and uses it to climb up to the roof*
I REALLY hope that viruses can't either fly or climb.
*Starts laughing at the virus as it stares up at her*
*The virus starts climbing up*
DARNNIT!
*Climbs down the other side and starts running as fast as she can away from the virus*
