Three friends must stop a leader from destroying all of video game life with a 36dk virus.
Somehow, he knew this was coming. The days of becoming a somebody are over. You just need to face the facts that old-style video games are just old school. Nobody plays these games anymore. There are games like Halo 4, Gears of War, Portal 2, Sonic the Hedgehog, Mario and everything else were once awesome, but the big man of the world and his company, the leader, banned them from being played. When this happened, all of us ran for our lives. This is the year. 2025. When a year that was supposed to be the end of the video game world, but the end is not recalled. This is how it happened.
Simon and his friends were at their secret hideout in Los Angeles, Cali. where they were playing the old games that were supposed to be banned. Charlie, one of Simon’s friends, was playing Sonic the Hedgehog on the SEGA Genesis, Diana, one of Simon’s friends, was playing Wii Sports, and Simon was playing Halo 4 on the Xbox 720. They knew that they were in trouble for playing these games. “I love this game. Man, why are they doing this to us?” Charlie complained. “Calm down,” Simon added, “all we have to do is lay low and they’ll probably change their minds and… and who am I kidding? They’ll never change their minds.” Simon’s mind went blank.
“Come on, you guys,” Diana interrupted, “don’t give up. We can still find a way to stop this destruction.” “Diana,” Charlie joined the conversation, “that guy has been taking over the world for the past 13 years. Do you think that WE can stop him?!!! (Laughing) There is no way we can stop that punk from taking the world over. Taking it over is like hell.” “That is not true,” Diana argued, “we can’t just give up. That punk took my parents after I was 5 and I vowed revenge on him by promising my parents that I would have a firearm on my hand, have the leader on his knees and put a bullet through his brain!!!” Diana burst with tears and slammed the Wii Remote down the floor.
“It’s okay, Diana,” Simon calmly grabbed Diana while she was on her knees, “we will find him and we will kill him.” “Aw man,” Charlie groaned as he picks up the broken Wii Remote, “I was going to play Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Thanks a lot.” “Shut up, Charlie!” Simon fought back, “come on, Diana, let’s go find more games.” Diana agreed and left with Simon. Charlie wanted to stay behind and to look for any intruders. Suddenly, a flying robot camera came out of nowhere and took pictures of Simon’s secret hideout and reported to the the main building in Washington D.C. Stupidly, that fooled boy did not even noticed.
The leader who owns the Video Games Ban Company building searched those pictures and found out about their secret hideout . “So,” said the leader, “those guys dare to disrespect me after I banned those video games over a long time ago. They think video games are fun. NO!! It is harmful to sensitive people like me. We have seizures and watery eyes and twitching and everything like that. All of those people down there are idiotic to my community. Pain hurts. When will these people learn that video games are harmful to our community? Well, (laugh evilly) they’ll have to think twice about it.” The leader then pushed a button that sends in the 36dk virus to all video games.
This is how it happened. All of the video game characters came to life. They were pure evil and they started to attack people and destroy everything. All of this madness has gone out of hand and everything went chaos. Hell was rising and heaven can’t do anything about it. All of hope is over.
Simon and his friends found out of what was happening and was shocked with fear. “Guys, look at what’s happening,” Simon glimpse at the destruction, “we have to do something about this.” “No way, man,” Charlie negatively answered, “I rather fight aliens than video game characters because aliens are easy to kill, but video game characters are hard to beat up.” “Don’t be like that, Charlie,” Diana added, “we need to do something about this.” “She’s right,” Simon added, “we need to stop all of this madness.” All of them agreed and run off to find the leader.
Simon and his friends started to crash their way to the leader of the 36dk virus at his tall company building. “Well, it seems you still disrespect me,” the leader said. Simon fought back. “Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this to video game purgatory?” “Don’t you get it?” the leader raised his voice, “I’m sick of people playing mindless video games, killing enemies, jumping obstacles and shooting. They should be taught a LESSON!!!” Simon and his friends were at war.
Simon and his friends were almost beaten to death by an epic battle to stop the 36dk virus. Simon was bleeding on the top of his head, Diana almost broke her arm and Charlie nearly started to barf. Fighting was hard. The laughing leader taunted at them. “(Laughing), you people are too weak!!! Once the virus will form, all of the world belongs to me!” laughed the leader.
“You don’t get it,” Simon added as he rises from the ground, “video games isn’t mindless. It is a lesson. A lesson that teaches us the meaning of technology. Secondhand technology that is teaching the whole world a lesson. That’s why you’ll never know the kill code for the virus.” Simon brutally activated the kill code for the virus. All of the video game characters then disappeared and returned to their cartridges and disks. Simon stopped the virus with a hack code and the stunned leader was shot in the head and fell off his tall building by Charlie with a laser gun from Halo 4.
Everything went back to normal except the leader of the 36dk virus is dead (for real). Will this ever happen again? No.
