Hallou people of the Underworld, Rickz here, trying to leave an impression on you infidel mortals who dare disturb my sleep (?) XD Anyways, maybe I should change the name to just me, but I'm still kinda waiting for something to happen becuz I've been getting too fed up in time, considering I'm moving out eventually, so I'll just try to update whenever possible k? :) Like I said, or probably haven't, I don't want to relate a chain of the same posts, even so people want me to continue on the fanfics, but since I've already posted one, I think I'll hand you something more of one interesting article I found bouncing around, not really sure where it came from quite frankly, but I'm glad I did found it, becuz, geez, it's incredibly interesting, so here we go, grab tight, cuz I'll take you on a wild ride!
Here, take this to have a better ride :3
SECRETS OF SHIVER STAR
Well, in this particular case, this isn't a creepypasta, but it is a really interesting thought, and I kinda wanted to share it with you, becuz until my point of view, it seems very accurate, maybe I should give something of an intro to this before-hand right? So I'll start from the very beginning of it all, back in the old Nintendo 64 era....
You remember this game right player? Kirby 64 on its own was one of my favorite games of this console, everything about it is amazing, the music, the interractions, the scenery, everything is beautiful and fitting to the Kirby universe right? Well, that's where I'll start this interesting discussion. Like I said, as a little brat, I loved this game non-stop, and hell I still do, I used to play it everyday, this game is really special to me, becuz I spent countless hours on it, I always had a great time (Considering you people know I love Mortal Kombat non-stop, maybe this answers in a way how I can be kind-hearted, but have such a brutal instinct xD). Anyways, back in the day, there was one place that always had my curiosity, out of the seven worlds in this game, my favorite one was the fifth star, Shiver Star. I don't know why, but I liked it, my favorite level in it, being the factory. Back as a child, I would've never realized, but now that I'm more mature, doesn't Shiver Star resemble something?
If you see the image above, and you compare it to a globe, you may notice that Shiver Star looks like our planet, it even has an orbital around it, obviously being the relevant to the moon, and if you can look at Shiver Star on whole, you may even see all of the continents. So I'm convinced, this in fact is planet Earth, but something is odd, mainly that it's gray, giving an allusion that it may be frozen.... Actually, it is frozen, all levels in Shiver Star are covered in ice, which only makes its gray color fitting. This is probably a very morbid look on where our planet may be going, destined to be ruled by the ice and the cold. Maybe, just maybe, it seems that this isn't well documented, but let me guide you into the world of enlightenment I bring. (lol really? xD)
This are all of Shiver Star's levels, including the boss in this star, which I'll cover on a bit later. The first two levels aren't really note-worthy in this theory, as one is a snow-covered plain field, and the other is you jumping among clouds, the last three though, do in fact support this theory.
This is the entrance to level three, if you may notice, it doesn't look like something that would be created by nature right? Yeah, it looks human-made, which supports the theory that humans once resided in Shiver Star, making it more believable to think that Shiver Star is in fact our planet, but that lingers the question... Where are the humans who constructed this place? In any case, I would say that Shiver Star is an Earth in which our resources were used up and they were forced to vacate or something? But don't worry, the next two levels will give you a better insight of what I believe happened in Shiver Star.
This is the entrance to Shiver Star's fourth level, and my favorite in any case, it looks like a factory right? Another human-made building if you ask me, but what about what resides inside of it?
Inside, robots like the one with the giant hammer invade the place, and by the looks of it, they haven't received any maintenance from where I can see, but wait, there's more.
These creatures are also kept inside this factory. from top to bottom, a pig, a bird, a cat, and some kind of wizard? Anyways, they're all kept inside water tubes, and being suspended there, which makes me think, did the crisis that occured in Shiver Star was so severe, that they were forced to mantain these creatures like this in order to make them survive? Are they the last of their species? Was this a fail attempt to clone these creatures in order to avoid their extinction? By the looks of it, Shiver Star was once populated by humans, but something had to happen, to leave the planet a frozen mess, and probably drive them to extinction, these creatures here the only living survivors on this planet, as the robots in here apparently are malfunctioning as they attack Kirby for no reason at all, maybe they had another purpose, but it disappeared with the humans who were to issue their commands. Now, this is where we come to what may be the destruction of this planet's population.
This here is the boss in Shiver Star, HR-H. It seems to be a combat robot, and in fact, it's heavily armed with rockets, lasers, and other weapons, also as you can see, it can transform itself into a combat ship, retaining the rockets and its lasers.
Kirby fights it here, in what seems to be a futuristic city, but to be sincere, there is no apparent reason why it attacks Kirby in the first place, as HR-H is an inorganic material, it cannot be possessed by the Dark Matter (the enemy that controlled your allies at the beginning of the game, and practically the whole point to defeat in this game), so, this still leaves the question, why attack Kirby? My take on this is that HR-H, and possibly many others, were used in one of many human wars, but horribly malfunctioned, and ended up annihilating all humans that came upon its sight. I truly believe HR-H was probably the reason humans became extinct, being a combat robot, and probably being used for war, it was possible for it to malfunction, which is what may have happened in here, and would explain why there are no humans around, that would also explain why it attacks Kirby, identifying him as a target.
The secrets of Shiver Star, why is it a frozen wasteland, full of malfunctioning robots, was probably caused by human greed, unproper play of technology may have even caused it to become the frozen wasteland we know Shiver Star for, and that same unproper play of technology may have caused the powerful robots like HR-H to malfunction, and in turn, made humans realize they brought their demise.
What do you people think? I really think it's an interesting theory and I'm kinda bound to believe it, it's still a really morbid theory, but it may come to be our reality, just a thought, I still love this game regardless, but if you have something you want to share, there's the comment section below :D
This is it for today, see ya later Underworlders!!
Hallou people of the Underworld, yours truly Rickz copying, here, I still need a little more time on the MK history, but in the meantime, I'll give you another fanfic before continuing with the Yu-Gi-Oh one (reason for this, I'm kinda bummed that Dragon's deck in my fanfic, has a concept similar to the new Elemental Dragons, the only difference is the effects... but geez, it no longer seems original.. want to think that over.) Anyways, since I'm kinda lose and had lots of thinking, I thought of presenting a fanfic of League of Legends, becuz I dunno, they're kinda interesting and the ones I find are always too short for my taste, so here we go, buckle up, becuz I'll take you on a wild ride!

. Without a Sound... Prologue "The Institute"
"I'm just getting tired of this..." said Ezreal, staring into the entrance of the Institute of War created to avert wars and conflicts between nations. Reluctantly, he entered. The first thing he noticed, was the beautiful marble works that composed the insides, a huge fountain in the center, and a lot of purple garbed people, who he could only assume where the summoners. One of them noticed Ezreal, and hurried over to him, bending over in one knee, he grabbed Ezreal's hand. "Ohh! I can't believe it! You're really the prodigal explorer!!" said the summoner, visibly overjoyed, "I never thought you would willingly join the League." Ezreal, slightly annoyed, removed his hand from the summoner's grasp and replied "I'm just tired of being pulled over everytime... can't even sleep in my house in Piltover without getting dragged into here to compete..."
"You're really popular amongst the summoners explorer, one of the favorite attack damage carries or ADCs in here."
"What did I do to make them love me so much?"
"I don't know, but you still have that certain touch with them, anyways, are you here to join the League?"
"I don't want to, but I feel that if I can't be exploring because of getting dragged into here, I might as well join."
The summoner seemed somewhat disappointed by Ezreal's reply, Ezreal noticed this, and tried to liven it up a bit.
"So... is there some place here to eat? I'm starving..." The summoner lightened up almost suddenly, which surprised Ezreal.
"Of course! Follow me explorer."
"You may call me Ezreal... emmm..."
"I'm sorry Ezreal, my name is Markus, one of the most venerable summoners that keep watch over the Institute, if you have any doubt, you may feel free to ask me."
They walked further and further into the Institute, until Markus stopped, and signaled Ezreal to a huge door on the right, it was decorated in a way that it looked very extravagant, highly detailed, and at the top of the door, had a plate that had wrote on it "Dining Hall". Ezreal eagerly pushed open the door, and was shocked at the amount of League champions condensed in it. He could spot a lot of champions he knew, yet didn't remember many of the names, he spotted the Demacians, their king, Jarvan IV, helping himself with a variety of pastries obscuring the view of the other champions around him, yet it was weird seeing him in more casual clothing. Up ahead, he noticed the Noxians, just seeing them made a knot in his stomach, as he has always detested the Noxians. He could named them all, their leader at the time, Jericho Swain, the first commander, Darius, his brother, the glorious executioner Draven, and the sinister blade Katarina. He knew some others were missing, but that was the least of his worries as he snapped back into the world and noticed he was staring directly at Katarina, who has stopped drinking her beer once she noticed Ezreal looking blatantly upon her. Rather than minding, she just winked at Ezreal, and laughed when he blushed and hurriedly move on. Ezreal found himself finally in the buffet, grabbed a plate, and began helping himself with some chicken, rice, and vegetables, after he was done, he looked somewhere to have a seat. He found that to be really hard as he didn't knew anyone in particular, he noticed a huge purple insect like creature mowing away at what looked like to be some pork, disgusted he looked away and try to find someone else.
"Ezreal."
He flinched, he didn't knew where the voice came from, but it sounded familiar...
"Ezreal, look at your right."
He did so, and recognized that the voice came from Sona, the maven of the strings, he remembers her, because he has been laned with her multiple times, he also remembers that she's not able to talk, and does so only by telepathy, alongside her, he noticed other champions he was laned with, so he assumed, they were the supports. One of them was clad in a gem-like armor, he smiled and said
"Good day young man, would you like to take a seat with us?"
Ezreal looked around them, he saw Soraka, her staff out of sight, but she was smiling, he also noticed Lulu, feeding her pixie, and Sona, still smiling at him, Ezreal nodded and took a seat with them.
"I see this is your first day here at the institute." said Soraka, Ezreal nodded, and felt the a pat on his back.
"I am called Taric, she's Soraka, Sona, Lulu, and the fanned girl over there is good Karma."
At this, Karma withdrawed her fans, Taric grinned and continued "I'm guessing you didn't recalled our names because you got pulled over and instantly sent away, so it's always nice to be introduced, right Ezreal?"
"Thank you Taric, can you tell me how this champions are divided?"
"Well, there are different quarters, for example, we the supports, have our own customized quarters, endowsed with an aura that helps in meditation and healing spells, Demacia has a quarter of their own, as well as Noxus, and since the institute is so huge, a lot of the other champions enjoy having a room of their own, filled with their own comodities." Ezreal thought to himself "It doesn't sound half bad...." until he was patted in the back, he turned around, and noticed Markus's ruby eyes staring at him, "I see you have found yourself comfortable with the supports, if you have finished your meal, let me take you to were you're staying."
Ezreal, at this, asked.
"Would it be ok with me to stay with the supports? I don't really know anyone else..."
Sona smiled brilliantly at this, and Taric as well as Soraka nodded in agreement, Lulu's pixie signaled Lulu to pay attention, and she instantly nodded to Markus, Karma retrieved her fan and nodded her approval.
"Then with the supports you'll stay Ezreal" Markus nodded, then took Ezreal to his new place.

This is just kind like an introduction, maybe next time there will be some action :)
This is it for today, see ya later Underworlders!!
I swear this people.... Jaggerjaquez R. here, I'm almost done with university, so I'm pretty much kinda ready to let go of everything, so in the meantime, I present to you, Pokégods :3 Sit tight, and enjoy the show ;)
(BTW this is NOT a Creepypasta, all here is the truth.)
THE POKEMON FACTORY
There was a website called "Pokemon Factory" which created fake screenshots of Pokegods and other made-up Pokemon, not necessarily with the intent to fool anyone. Even though these images were watermarked and obviously fake, many became widely circulated and contributed a lot to the spread of Pokegods rumors (sometimes being used as 'proof' that they existed). MIST STONE USES
With a few exceptions, these seem to come from the idea that one could find the mist stone which was able to evolve every single Pokemon. Mewthree is a bit different because people also thought that pictures of Mewtwo wearing armor from the first movie was Mewthree... (detailed below).
Flareth is also an interesting case because of all the Eeveeloutions, it was the only one that was thought to evolve again (or at least, the only one that was so widely circulated)

MEWTHREE
While most PokeGods evolved from common Pokemon, and a few from uncommon or rare Pokemon, Mewthree was one of only two PokeGods rumored to evolve from a Legendary. This is unusual, as it would make sense for evolutions of legendary Pokemon to be more popular due to their relative small number at the time. The fact that only Mew and Mewtwo had any sort of official background may be the reason why they were chosen over the other legendaries to have their mythology developed further under the pretense of the PokeGods.
Mewtwo quickly fostered popularity for one reason: it was the most powerful Pokemon legally obtainable in the game. At a time when Mew was still largely whispered rumors, Mewtwo was a bonus Pokemon you could actually see and even catch. It became a rite of passage and instant fame for anyone to complete the game and encounter a Mewtwo, then add it to their team and show it off on the playground. With a Mewtwo's stats alone beating out many Pokemon, combined with its moves and psychic typing, any team would be near-unbeatable. It was simply so powerful that there was no competition-even more so since "real" competitive battling was even less known.
However, rumors soon began to crop of up of a Pokemon even more powerful than Mewtwo. People rationalized that since there was already Mew ("Mewone"), and a MewTWO, there might likely be further numbers of even greater power. Compounded with Mewtwo's already-mysterious origin in the game, the idea of a "Mewthree" became a popular notion.
While the idea of Mewthree briefly coincided with Mewtwo's armored appearance in Mewtwo Strikes Back, it should be noted that the two aren't mutually exclusive. Rumors of Mewthree continued on (albeit less widely-believed) as they did before the movie, while the armored Mewtwo seen in the movie developed its own rumors on how to evolve Mewtwo into that form, which usually had names other than Mewthree to describe it. (More on Mewthree as inspired by the anime can be read under the "From other Official Media" section)
Although Mewthree was the most popular rumored evolution of Mewtwo, there were other rumors for a Mewfour and even higher, though those were typically ignored as too ridiculous to be believed. An evolution with the name "Altanes" was also mentioned which carried a little more weight than the others, but its connection (if any) to Mewthree is impossible to determine.
FLARETH
Flareth is an interesting PokeGod, as it was the only one widely circulated as a further evolution of an "Eeveelution" rather than directly from Eevee itself. One would assume that as Flareth was praised as being "The evolved form of Flareon" that use of the Mist Stone would be the method for acquiring it, as was true for many other PokeGods said to evolve from an existing Pokemon. However, not a single code for obtaining Flareth required the use of the Mist Stone. Even more unusual was that Flareon, the Pokemon it was said to evolve from, also wasn't needed. Flareth was simply treated as if it was a "basic" in and of itself and unrelated to any other Pokemon.This treatment is especially unusual considering Eevee's status as the only Pokemon of the Red and Blue versions with the ability to evolve into more than one Pokemon, and the fact that these evolutions didn't evolve any further. Jolteon, Vaporeon, and Flareon were all second-stage evolutions and, unlike most PokeGods, could have easily had another stage while remaining within the established three-stage limit. Evolutions for all three should have easily been rumored, yet it appears only Flareon held this distinction.
One likely explanation behind this is that while Fire has always been a popular type, Fire-type Pokemon in the Red and Blue versions were few and far between. Combined with the tendency of people to relate any 'new' pokemon to one that already exists, it can be understood how any PokeGod that had a name suggestive of fire would be attached to a pre-existing Fire-type Pokemon. This theory is supported by another Fire-type PokeGod, Charcolt, which was mainly said to evolve from Charizard, but on occasion would instead be said to evolve from Rapidash. Likewise, Flareth was also attached to various existing Fire-type Pokemon. While Flareth was predominately said to evolve from Flareon, less circulated codes stated it could alternatively evolve from Arcanine, Charizard, or Rapidash. Several times the name was offered as the actual name for MissingNo. or Ho-Oh (yet another Fire-type PokeGod). These things considered, it seems that the reason only Flareon was singled out and given a further evolution was because of its popularity as a Fire-type Pokemon.
Another possible explanation can be found in what may have been a possible inspiration for the creation of Flareth: Pikaflare. Or, rather, the early Gold/Silver "Honoguma" artwork which inspired the PokeGod Pikaflare. While the name "Honoguma" does not seem to have been commonly circulated alongside its artwork (which wasn't that well circulated either), it is possible that this discrepancy in its fabled "origin" in comparison to how it is actually obtained could come from it originally being an alternate name for Pikaflare/Honoguma, which at some point became an entirely separate PokeGod. If this is the case, it is likely that once this distinction was made and the connection lost, Flareth was later attributed to being a Flareon evolution due to the "flare" in its name and the popularity of "evolved from" PokeGods.
Despite either of these possible origins for Flareth, the Pokemon Factory decided to go in a completely different direction with their fake Pokedex sprite. As Flareth was still one of the most popular PokeGods of the Second Wave, it was only fitting for the site to attempt a visualization for it. This visualization (as seen to the left) is that of a fiery dragon, which is clearly a color-edit of Ridley from the Metroid series. As many people didn't consider the Pokemon Factory sprites to be real, this depiction was often disregarded, but is still notable in that it was yet another variation in how Flareth was interpreted. It should be mentioned that while this interpretation was not particularly popular for its time (possibly for being recognized by many as fake), "modern" interpretations of Flareth seem to favor this version and tend to interpret Flareth as some sort of flying creature.
While there were many codes for obtaining Flareth, as suggested by the numerous Pokemon it was said to evolve from or be, the vast majority of them were never circulated and thus had little bearing on what people thought of the PokeGod. For many, there was only one true code for obtaining Flareth, and it was from this code that many of the variations and alternatives originated. The code involved talking to the thirsty girl on the top level of the Celadon department store with either the three legendary birds in your party or four Moltres, with some variations requiring three Geodudes as well. After fulfilling this prerequisite, you would then need to talk to the girl for a high number of times (usually 100, with the 101st activating the code) which would cause her to become annoyed with you and give you Flareth if you would "leave her alone", with talking to her again often warned to have consequences. The code would sometimes be expanded to have one of two required activation codes: the first would require first using the Item Finder to locate a bottle or note in the Unknown Dungeon directing you to the girl, while the other advised having all 150 Pokemon (a common requirement).
This code seems to be one of the most popular and well remembered of all the PokeGod rumors, most likely because of its simplicity and almost pure usage of established code archetypes. It is also notable for its similarity to both the Mr. Psychic access code and the code for obtaining Charcolt (which even took place in the Celadon department store). All three required having some variation of the three legendary birds and three Geodudes in your active party. The three were sometimes grouped together, which suggests they may have been written by the same person, or that one existed first and inspired the other two.
Either way, Flareth and the various codes to obtain it mark it as one of the definitive PokeGods of the entire phenomenon. The steps of its code closely follow the archetypes that served as the foundation of the most circulated and believed codes, while the sheer number of variations of the code demonstrate the impact a PokeGod's popularity can have on its circulation and evolution. Taking all of this into consideration, Flareth can certainly be considered one of the prime examples of the height of the PokeGod phenomenon. What Mew and Pikablu were for the very beginnings of the First Wave, Flareth was to the Second Wave.
DEMONIX
"Dimonix" (sometimes "Diminox", "Dimondox", "Dmonix", or "Dimanonix") was a rumored evolution of Onix. It had the most variations of name than any other PokeGod, making it difficult to tell which was the original or most circulated version. However, all variations more or less indicate that this supposed evolution was composed of diamonds. For the purposes of this article, "Dimonix" will be the name used due to no reason other than personal preference.Dimonix, even counting its numerous names, was not a very popular or well-circulated PokeGod. References to it could often be found only on sites that didn't copy-and-paste whole code-lists wholesale. While this seclusion undoubtedly aided in Dimonix having a lack of publicity, it also resulted in the many variations of its name and code. This was likely due to site-owners writing the code down from memory after not being able to find it again.
While there were many variants, Dimonix only truly had one code. However, it was also prone to variation and would often be worded differently with each instance, though the basic method of the code remained a constant: A level 60 Onix would have to be traded for a certain number of times. Usually the Onix would have to be traded with another level 60 Onix, with the number of back-and-forth trades being 4, 6, or "a lot".
A few variations of this code added a short description of how Dimonix looked, with one suggesting it would have horns and another (possibly later one) wings as well as horns. This description could be found under a variation that used the name "Dmonix", which can be pronounced as either "De-men-ix" or "Dem-on-ix" (similar to "Demonic", but with an "x" end). This pronunciation is likely the source for the demonic appearance of horns and wings.Why exactly Onix had a PokeGod evolution at all is unusual in itself and calls to question its origin. Onix wasn't a particularly popular Pokemon, which begs the question why anyone felt it needed an evolution. As evidenced by several of the other PokeGods discussed on this site, many PokeGods were initially inspired due to official sources, popularity, or third-part sources. As just stated, Onix wasn't very popular, so we are left with two possible origins for Dimonix. Each will be discussed with points supporting and opposing their likelihood, though neither are entirely conclusive.
The most likely origin of Dimonix is the Pokemon Factory, which introduced a sprite showcasing a fake Pokemon of the name "Diminox" sometime in 1999. This sprite (as seen above) depicts a golem-like rock monster that was likely taken from an RPG game. The code for Dimonix was being circulated as early as May of 1999 (though possibly even earlier), so the years at least coincide. For many people, this sprite is the exact origin that inspired the evolution for Onix. However, the two look nothing alike and the Pokemon Factory itself assures us that if one of their fake Pokemon shared a name with a PokeGod, it was because the code inspired them to create it, not the other way around.
Another possible origin for Dimonix (this time from an official source) is the Crystal Onix appearing in the anime. While made-up of a different mineral, a younger viewer would easily be reminded of the more well-known diamond and believe that that was what the Crystal Onix was. The anime certainly was responsible for the introduction and popularity of several Pokemon before, so briefly causing interest in Onix in such a way where a "secret" evolution might exist is one of the more plausible origins for this PokeGod. However, like the Pokemon Factory as anorigin, this, too, is called into question.
The first broadcast of The Crystal Onix in the United States, which featured the Pokemon, was February 5th of 2000. This is over half a year after the Dimonix codes were being circulated. One could argue that the PokeGod was inspired by the Japanese broadcast of that episode, which actually did precede the rumors by several months, though this is considered unlikely due to the relative "foreign media policy" Japan held at the time. The episode simply couldn't be seen earlier than when it was broadcast in the US due to the lack of inter-cultural media sharing. So is this possible origin debunked? Probably not. But its validity is certainly questioned, which only serves in continuing the mystery of this particular PokeGod.
All this aside, Dimonix largely stands out for one reason: its similarity to Steelix. While most codes for PokeGods at the time required the Mist Stone or simply catching them, Dimonix was one of the few PokeGods involving actual trade with another game. Comparing this with the actual method for evolving an Onix into a Steelix, one of the few Gold and Silver Pokemon to evolve upon trade, it seems like a strong coincidence. In fact, one site even name-switched two of the original Dimonix codes with the name Steelix. However, it is unlikely that Dimonix was ever inspired by Steelix, and that this one site simply believed they were "updating" the code. . . .
For now this is it, we're coming to the end, keep a close watch at this :D
See ya later Underworlders!!
The conditions in which we were born are not what define us, it's what we do with the gift of life what defines who we truly are.
Hallou hallou people of the Underworld :D R. Jaggerjaquez here, I'm pretty much sorry about this time, I just got into so much that it should be criminal u.u I'm sorry about the long hiatus, but even though how much my time is compressed, I'll try to keep it at least a post per week so as to not abandon our loyal fans of this blog who helped us reach this far :)
Ok now :D Prepare for excitement, Tremble! Be afraid! Recoil in despair! Cower in awe! And cry your heart out, because my art… is an EXPLOSION!
THe TaiLS DoLL iS WaTCHiNG you
I consider myself to be the luckiest man in the world. But I didn't win the lottery, strike oil in my backyard, or find a drop-dead beautiful girl. I survived.
Let me explain. Last week I was cleaning my dorm with my roommate Alexander, but I just called him Xander or Alex. Everything was going as usual. The work was exhausting; we unpacked box after box (our room was also our U-Haul) and were sorting everything for what felt like decades. But it wasn't without fun. Occasionally we would unpack a box and stumble upon some nostalgic item, like our sound recording pens we used to spy with in our freshman year or old assignments that we thought were torture before but now would be respite. We were having a discussion about invincibility. Alex insisted that some things were just plain ol' invincible, while I argued that everything had to have a weak point. Anyways, we were nearly finished when Alex shouted to me from across the room.
"Hey, look what's in this one!" Alex exclaimed, grinning.
I made my way over to him, and traced his pointing finger to a box containing my old Sega Saturn. I couldn't believe it. My long lost friend had returned. We had both had a Saturn as kids. It was our favorite pastime. It was our childhood. A while back, Alex's Saturn had broken, and I had lost mine. But here it was, sitting in a musty box in the corner of our room. A whole piece of childhood memories and good times buried by adulthood had suddenly been unearthed. We had found a treasure worth more than gold.
"Well, you want to play it or just keep standing here?" Alex barked, jerking me back to reality.
"Uh, sure!" I replied, trying to convince Alex.
Postponing the rest of the cleaning, we removed it, and hooked it up to our TV. Then we indexed the golden library of my old games.
"Whoa, you have International Victory Goal!"
"Yeah. Oh! I forgot about Sonic Jam!"
When we had browsed through everything, we set about what we should play first. We decided on Sonic 3D - Flickies Island. For several hours, we played through every game, reliving our childhood. It was nearly midnight, but we were still going strong. Alex removed the next game from the pile. It was Sonic R.
"Ooh, Sonic R. The Tails Doll is gonna get you!" he said, laughing and tickling me.
"Hey, stop it! Get off!" I shouted playfully. I managed to stop his tickling.
"Want to try the curse?" he moaned, imitating a spooky voice.
"Eh, why not?" I replied, frightened or so.
"I bet you don't even know what it is," he retorted.
Of course I knew about the curse. You play a tag race on Resort Island as the Tails Doll and tag Metal Robotnik (Or Egg Robot), Metal Sonic, and Metal Knuckles, tagging Super Sonic last. After that, the Tails Doll is supposed to steal your soul. It was all bullshit, if you asked me. Nonetheless, Alex grabbed the controller and had everything set up in less than a minute.
The game started. The cursed song "Can you Feel the Sunshine" began playing. We were soon reminded of the difficulty of tag race. Even though I wasn't playing, I felt Alex's frustration as he narrowly missed Metal Sonic, and Metal Sonic turned around. There were several moments of frustration throughout the race as we came close to tagging another player then had the opportunity snatched from us as we bumped into a wall, etc. After what seemed like hours, Alex finally tagged Super Sonic, ending the race. We were both so relieved to have tagged him that we had forgotten about the curse. So when the Tails Doll's picture popped up on the screen, we both jumped. Everything was silent for a few seconds as the Tails Doll seemed to gaze deeply at us, as a predator gazes at his prey, inspecting the meal.
"Heh, forgot about that," Alex said, breaking the silence. "I was so preoccupied with the race..."
"Yeah, me too."
"Well, this is boring. I'm going to get some chips."
"I guess I'll get some too. I am a little hungry."
Going to get the chips had made me less afraid. I had an excuse not to look at that thing anymore. But even when I was out of the room, I knew that thing was still staring at me. What made it worse was that “Can you Feel the Sunshine” was playing in my head, and I couldn't get it out. After a few minutes of being out of the room, my fear had lessened. We began talking again about what we would play next when we got back. I wanted to play my ROM hack replica of Sonic Xtreme, but Alex insisted on Sonic The Hedgehog 2 on Sonic Jam. After our little banter about the next game, we went back into our room and were once again confronted with the Tails Doll.
Alex had won our argument. We would play Sonic The Hedgehog 2 on Sonic Jam next. By this time, I had shaken off my fear and was ready to continue. Alex went to shut off the Saturn. Suddenly, my diminished fear returned, many times stronger than before. Alex had turned off the Saturn, but the picture of the Tails Doll was still on the screen. Its eyes seemed a little blacker. Alex turned around and saw me white with fear.
"What's wrong?" he asked me. I didn't respond. My eyes were fixed on the screen.
Alex turned back around and looked at the screen. Instantly his jovial face was replaced by one of sheer terror. We were both silent for a minute.
"I... I turned it off... it's still there..."
He went back over to the Saturn and unplugged it, then the TV. Nothing changed. The Tails Doll was still staring us down, hungry for blood.
"What the fuck is happening? Why is it still there? I unplugged it! What the hell is wrong with this thing?" he shouted. "Go away! Go the FUCK AWAY!!"
Its eyes blackened even more.
"Get out of there, you goddamn sick bastard!" Alex was provoking it even more with his shouts. "Go away, you fucking demon!"
The lights in our room cut out. Our faces were only illuminated by the light from the TV.
Alex quieted down. "Can you Feel the Sunshine" was playing again. We both sat and listened.
Finally, the TV turned off, leaving us in pitch black darkness.
"What the fuck was that?" Alex whispered to me. "Tomorrow, I'm going right to the Dean's office and filing a complaint. I'm going to get new lights, a new TV, a new goddamn dorm. Do you hear me?"
I wasn't listening. I was distracted by a red light glowing faintly from across the room. I started to get up, in anticipation of it moving closer. Alex was still shouting at me. I tapped him on his shoulder and pointed to it. He saw the light too, and shut up instantly. I was standing up now. "Heater," I whispered to him. He seemed to understand. We had a heater in our dorm room that was sealed off with iron doors.
"NOW!" I shouted. The light shot towards us as we began running towards our safe haven. It nearly missed me. As it flew past me, I caught a glimpse of his face. As I had suspected, the light was coming from the red orb mounted atop his head. He had a mouth stitched closed, and one ear seemed to be bitten off. The worst part was his eyes, two fathomless black voids staring into my soul.
He shot past me and landed in a pile of boxes. We kept running towards the heater. I was always the faster of the two of us, so I was about 2 feet ahead of Alex when it happened. I took a quick glance back to see a red light rising from the rubble. I also saw Alex's terrified face, trying desperately to keep up.
The light shot towards us again. I saw it disappear behind Alex. "TONY!" he shouted. Then Alex fell forward, revealing a bloody claw emerging from his head. He had given me the time I needed. With one great Herculean effort, I flung open the door to the heater, darted inside, slammed it shut, and jammed it just in time to hear the metallic bang of something hitting the other side. I had made it. I was safe... for now. I heard pounding from the other side of the door, followed by scraping, which sounded similar to nails on a chalkboard, but ten times worse. The scraping subsided to pacing, which then gave way to silence. The only sound to be heard was the humming of the heater. It was now that the impact of what had happened hit me. Alex was dead. I was trapped. There was a demon on the other side of the door. I felt like crying, but I didn't. I was too shocked to cry. For a long time, I was at the mercy of my emotions. After a while, I regained control of myself and began to think logically. There were no more sounds coming from the other side of the door. Was it gone? Could I get out? No. That's what it wants me to think. It wants me to think it's gone so it can rip me apart when I open the door. Other times my tidal wave of grief crashed down upon me again. A few times I thought of giving myself up to it so I wouldn't suffer anymore. Fortunately, I stopped myself before I might have done something stupid. I had thought of every way that I might be able to leave my confines other than the door. The only other way was through the heater itself. If I went through there, I would burn up instantly. I kept trying to think, but there was something that always stopped me. That cursed song kept running through my head. Whenever I would think I had found a way that would work, that song would play in my head and make me forget my plan because of my fear. "Can you feel the sunshine... sunshine... SUNSHINE!"
That was it! I had figured it out! I knew its weak point! Memories of my conversation earlier with Alex came back to me. I had said that everything had a weak point. Now I knew the Tails Doll's! The song wasn't a curse, it was a blessing! It told you how to beat the Tails Doll! His weakness was sunshine!
For a moment, I felt relieved. I felt that everything would be ok. But then I remembered where I was. There wasn't any sunshine inside a dormitory. All the blinds were closed, and it was night... or was it? How long had I been in here? Maybe hours? It might already be morning! I didn't have a watch or a phone, and there was no clock in the room. I couldn't tell what time it was by guessing either. My grieving might have been hours, or maybe minutes. It didn't matter. I only had one chance. Its weakness was sunshine, so somehow I had to get it outside. The problem was that I was trapped by it. I would have to run past it, out my door, down the hallway, and out the door leading outside. I began thinking of what I would have to do to make sure I would outrun it. I had seen how fast it was before. How could I outrun that? I couldn't think. I was getting desperate to leave. I mustered up all the courage I had, and flung open the door.
It was still there. It had been waiting there the whole time. But I had anticipated that. As soon as the door opened, I was out. This may have been the scariest moment in my life. I nearly ran into it. With one giant leap, I cleared its head, rolled on the floor, and made it to my door. I think that it tried to sabotage me when I left the furnace. It didn't matter. I was still being chased.
I tore into the hallway, dashing towards the exit. It seemed that the blackout earlier had affected the entire building, because all the lights were out here too. I could see a red light reflecting off the far wall ahead of me. It was in the hallway too. With all the speed I had, I made for the exit. By now, the thoughts in my head had reached a fever pitch. If it was night, I was dead. If it was day, there was no guarantee that sunlight would kill it. But when I looked back at it, I didn't care anymore. What I saw made me go all the way. I turned my head, and once again saw its two black eyes fixated on me. It's sewn up mouth twisted into a smile. Then the strings holding it closed broke, and it opened its mouth, revealing something bloody, teeth so sharp at their thinnest point they were smaller than a Planck length, with blood dripping from the sharp tips. I also saw blood on it's arms from where he stabbed Alex in the head. The blood spelt '666'.
I had finally made it to the exit. My hand grasped the handle, and with one mighty shove I pushed the door open and ran out. I could never be more thankful. The golden sunlight illuminated the dark corners of my eyes, basking my skin in its warmth as I leaped out. But The Tails Doll wasn't far behind. A second after I came out of the door, it did as well, still grinning with its sharp, bloody teeth. But then it stopped short, as if it had been struck through the heart with a sword. It then began to scream, its head pointed skyward. Its shrill scream pierced my eardrums, as it climbed to the volume of a rocket engine. Then at once it was enveloped in flames. It began flailing wildly as its skin boiled and blackened, small bits of it breaking off and blowing away in the wind. He had burned to a crisp. All that was left of him was the red, glowing gem. I decided to keep it as a trophy for my victory. A few weeks later, I sworn I saw the Tails Doll's face in that gem mouthing the words 'I will come back and you know it, Can you feel the terrors of the dark?'

Jujuju just love it! The surge! The power! Come on the next one!! ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!!!!!!!!!!!
MortalKombat.exe
I've always been a fan of Mortal Kombat games, especially the Mortal Kombat Project games, but not anymore. In fact, I hate even hearing about the game. One day, I was surfing the web for some games for my emulators, and I happen to come upon a game called "MortalKombat.exe". I'm not going to give out the link for the safety of you and your computer. But anyways, I thought it would be boring and dull, but when I looked at the RAM it took up, it said that it takes 2 GB, so I thought to myself that the game would be exciting, because I've never downloaded a Mortal Kombat game that took so much memory.
So, I clicked on the download link and started downloading the game, suprisingly, it took over 4 hours for the entire game to download, the download then finished, but that's when things started to get weird. The download box popped up, letting me know that the download was finished, so I clicked "Run", then my laptop screen burst into static and started playing a frequenly high pitch sound, then the laptop literally went black. I then grunted to myself in anger trying to turn my laptop back on. After a few tries, my laptop finally turned on, the same as it was before except there was the game on my desktop. I thought to myself that the laptop probably just crashed from the large download. So I clicked on the game and it started playing. There was no music playing, the screen showed Goro and there were the words Arcade, Versus, Practice, Options and Exit. So I clicked Arcade and the Mortal Kombat I arcade theme burst out of my speakers violently, nearly shaking the whole house, so I muted my computer thinking nothing of the sound, and what came up, I couldn't believe.
The character selection screen came up showing a total of 276 characters, I was amazed! This was the best Mortal Kombat ever! So I selected one of my favorite characters, Chameleon, only there were 6 versions of him so I chose the Mortal Kombat Trilogy Chameleon. Then a box popped up on the selection screen saying "Choose Stage", there was a total of 500 stages, only making the game better. So I chose my favorite place to fight, the Mortal Kombat 1 pit. When I selected the stage, Shao Kahns voice said "Good Choice Layne". Two things then popped up into my head, 1. How did he know my name? and 2. How is his voice coming up even though my speakers are muted? Then the loading screen came up, I had to fight Hydro, a Mortal Kombat Project character, so I started fighting and finally got to the point where Shao Kahn's voice said "Finish Him!", then, a box popped up showing a list of names, one was my friends name, Jordan. So I clicked "Jordan" just for fun, and then another box came up, saying "Choose Fatality!" then a box popped up saying "Fatality 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and Stage Fatality", I thought that it was awesome that every character had 10 fatalities and a stage finisher, so I chose "Stage Fatality". When I clicked "Stage Fatality", it showed my character, Chameleon, uppercutting Hydro, causing him to fall into the pit's spikes at the bottom. When he hit the ground, very realistic blood shot out of him as he screamed in agony, but Hydro's scream nearly broke my speakers that it was so loud. I was angry that I kept hearing noises from the game, as I'd muted my computer, and confused as to why the noises were so loud. Then the words "Chameleon Wins! Fatality!" came up on the screen, but there was no Shao Kahn saying the name and fatality, Then Shao Kahn's voice came up saying "You will never win, Layne!" and I mean LOUD, then, a bunch of pop-ups saying "MortalKombat.exe is not responding" came up, crashing my laptop. I was frightened. I tried to turn my laptop back on, but it would not power on, I thought that it must have been a virus. Angrily, I put up my laptop, thinking to myself that I could try and fix it in the morning, since I'm good with computers. I then went to bed, trying to sleep but still thinking about why the game knew my name.
I awoke to a ringing noise. It was my iPhone 4. I looked at my phone to check what time it is; 2:30 AM. I then answered the phone only to hear my friend's mom crying. I asked her to tell me what was wrong and what the siren sound in the background was, she told me that the sirens were police and ambulance sirens and that Jordan was dead. He had several large holes in his body.
I bolted downstairs trying to turn on my laptop, but then a message box popped up, saying, "Thank you for playing, Layne! But I told you, you will never win." I was screaming and crying in horror and despair, as several message boxes popped up saying "NEVER", then the worst thing ever happened to me; a bunch of pictures of dead adults, children and babies popped up on the screen, then a message box popped up saying "Look at Him!" then a picture of my friend Jordan was shown, his eyes gouged out and his intestines popped out laying on the floor, he also had several gory holes in his body. The screen then went black and a Mortal Kombat font came up saying "Layne Wins! Fatality!!!" the screen then went black.
It has been four months since the incident, and I am traumatized by it, just like anybody else would be. The police found the man who killed Jordan. Oddly, he's the creator of the game I downloaded. Yesterday, I was flipping through the channels on my TV and I saw Jordan's killer in court on a TV show. I had to watch. After about 5 minutes, the judge asked him what he had to say before he was sentenced to death. He responded by looking at the camera and saying, "Layne, you will never win", violently laughing as the bailiff carried him away.

Just awesome, I really missed this :'D
Well I guess this is it for now, See ya later Underworlders! Let the Nightmare consume thee :3
Hallou people of de Underworld :D Draconic Nightmare R.Jaggerjaquez and Runaway Terrorist reporting on the line of fire! I'm truly sorry this isn't earlier, but certain douchebag wasn't answering any of my mails regarding about this specific post -_-
RT: Hey that wasn't my fault, I told you I had no connection -.-
Anyways, now that the douchebag, I'm not going to say who, is here with us, I'll begin with the second part of the Legend Revives becuz of the hype it created the first time, so my guest will be starting this off, so let's give him a round of boos :D
RT: Very funny -.- Anyways, let us begin.
Ohh I'll cut you here, you can check the first episode of this series here!
RT: There's something I didn't understand in the first part of this series....What are exactly the Pokégods? Well, as their name implies, they are Pokémon considered gods that could find their origin
in one of four different categories, though they were often combined or overlapped.
Supposed evolutions of Pokemon that already existed
Misnamed MissingNo.-like glitch Pokemon
Pokemon planned for the Gold and Silver versions (or any species above 150)
Seemingly fabricated or just random.
No matter which group a particular "PokeGod" fell into, almost all of them were claimed to be ridiculously powerful. It was
commonly believed that if you managed to obtain one, having it "faint" in battle would result in its actual death (meaning
it would die and you could never use it again). For this reason, it was often warned never to use one PokeGod against
another due to the risk.
The rumors and codes circulated to obtain such PokeGods were often
ridiculously extreme or convoluted in such a way that it would take a
person hours to perform and test out on their own. Due to the vagueness
of these codes, one could never be entirely sure if they performed a
code "correctly", which often times only lent towards a code's perceived
truth, since if it was so difficult to perform, many people assumed
they might actually be true. Another contributing factor to the
difficulty in testing was that some codes would claim to only work if
the player had never used any form of cheat device on their game. This
cut out a large percentage of the fanbase from even attempting to prove
or disprove them as code devices were widely in use.
The PokeGods seem to have appeared in three main waves, each triggered
by different reasons and met with a different reaction by the fans.
The first wave was triggered largely by early beta and pre-release
artwork for the Gold and Silver versions released in Japan, mostly from
the Spaceworld game trade show. This art and sparsely translated
information on the upcoming games was found by American fans while Gold
and Silver were still in production and mostly unknown to the rest of
the world (having been mentioned only very briefly in a Nintendo Power
issue dating before the Red/Blue versions were even announced). In an
effort to understand and explain this artwork, the concept of the
PokeGods was born. Most of the PokeGods and their rumors at this time
spread by word-of-mouth, later finding its way onto the Internet and
spreading even further.
The second wave began due to the release of later pre-release artwork
and information for Gold and Silver, this time directed at
English-speaking audiences, as well as the appearances of new Pokemon in
the second movie, Revelation Lugia (titled "The Power of One"
in America). While this new information helped further some of the
older rumors and establish several PokeGods, it also was the start of
the end for the PokeGod phenomenon. At this time many people had been
playing the Red and Blue versions for nearly two years, and information
was readily-available that showed them just what Gold and Silver was.
The new Pokemon, rather than being believed to be in the current games,
were accurately believed to appear in the upcoming games. Because of all
this, only a few of the new Pokemon were rumored as PokeGods, and even
then the methods for obtaining them were limited.
The third and final wave of PokeGods appeared just before or after the
release of the Gold and Silver versions. Most of these PokeGods were
found only on compiled lists, and unlike previous PokeGods, many seem to
have been entirely fabricated (as opposed to being derived from
pre-existing official artworks). Some sources indicate a few may be
fan-given names for Gold and Silver Pokemon, though not enough are
available for cross-reference.
As Jaggerjaquez said before, Mew was the beginning of it all, having various to different methods on how to encounter it and tales of its inmense power made him the first Pokégod in existence, that is, it's the only pokémon considered pokégod that actually existed as it was described, which is kinda like saying it was the only good guess fans had.
Apart from these, there were a lot of recurring themes on how you will be able to acquire a Pokégod, which I will list right now:
1) Mr. Psychic: A
popular belief was that if you put the Legendary birds in your party in
order along with 3 Geodudes, Mr. Psychic (the NPC who gives out TM29)
would tell you about the Pokegods. This was pretty consistent, except
that sometimes it was said that you also had to have all 150 Pokemon,
and other times the Geodudes were not required.
Many sites said that having Mr. Psychic tell you about them was an
"access code" that had to be done before any of the other codes would
work. Why people believed that Mr. Psychic knew something about the
Pokegods in the first place is unknown. None of the codes could actually
get him to tell you about them, or anything different from what he
would normally say.
2) Bill's Secret Garden: Several
of the Pokegods codes involved finding a way to go behind Bill's house
and into his garden where rare Pokemon supposedly lived. Some variations
referred to it as "Bill's Mountain" or "Bill's Forest" (in one of this versions,
he even had a plane... like seriously??). This belief most likely came about due
to there being an empty space behind Bill's house (instead of being
filled with trees, etc) that can easily be seen by the player while
walking in front of it. Similarly, though not as popular, there were
also rumors about the inaccessible grass on the east and west sides of
Pallet Town, most likely for the same reasons.
The fact that Bill gives you the tickets to the SS Anne most likely influenced the believability
of this rumor as well, since the player's access to the ship would not have been possible without him.
3) Pokegod City: Pretty short and simple, there were several codes circulated that told of hidden cities where people had the
PokeGods and would willingly trade them for common Pokemon. Popular names for this type of city were Cloud City,
the PokeGod Factory, Pokemon/PokeGod Island, and Brick Town.
Other names were thrown around, though they weren't nearly as popular. These cities often differed in what you
could find there, but all shared the supposed presence of PokeGods and being able to obtain them easily there.
Usually the codes went something like "Beat the Elite 4 x number of times and on the final time Oak will say I'm getting bored and take you around the hall of fame to a secret door which will take you to the Pokegod City in which people trade Pokegods." Some tried, but it kinda never worked xD
4) Professor Oak's Gift: Often seen in combination
with the other types of codes listed, it was common to claim that
particular Pokegods or items (such as his "custom Pokeball") would be
given to you by Prof. Oak after fulfilling some sort of requirement. An
interesting point is that in later generations the various researchers
do give you rare Pokemon after completing certain tasks.
5) Secret HMs: Like the Elemental Stones,
HMs beyond the official five were said to exist in the game. No matter
what their exact
function was, their purpose was always for entering usually
inaccessible areas. These areas were also usually
"PokeGod Cities", as detailed above.
Coincidentally in later
generations, some HM's very similar to those mentioned in Pokegods
rumors were introduced (Dive and Rock Smash being good examples).
6) Catch em all: Many codes were only said to be possible after completion of the Pokedex (first 150), which was said to be a sort of
access code similar to Mr. Psychic and often paired with that access code as well. Some variations said you needed
151 Pokemon (with Mew), 152 Pokemon (usually Pikablu), or some other random amount of PokeGods on top of the official
150.
This type of rumor saw reality in Gold and Silver and the later games in the series, where the player could receive
a rare Pokemon, such as a starter, upon completing their pokedex to a certain number. This was implemented in
conjunction with the "Professor Oak's Gift" type of code.
7) Mist stones: The Mist stones were a type of evolution stone believed to be capable of evolving every single Pokemon, even those
which were already at their final stage of evolution. This stone was said to be found in the Seafoam Island after
collecting every item in the area, then using the Itemfinder on literally every tile. Though it was initially said
that there was only one Mist Stone, the rumor spread and it eventually became the catch-all secret stone that we
know today.
Other secret stones were said to exist, with each evolving a specific Pokemon rather than being capable of affecting
any. These stones were typically said to be obtained through use of the same method to obtain a Mist Stone, but in
different areas.
8) Do this "x" number of times to do... : Beating the Elite Four x
amount of times, talking to certain people x amount of times, or use of
elemental stones x number of times. The numbers could vary dramatically
and were usually very high. One reason this 'genre' of code may have
been so popular is because if the numbers are very high, it is difficult
for someone to disprove by personally testing.
Jeezus man you took over my post u_u
RT: You get that for having me waiting XP
Well, I would have upload it earlier if you were answering like I told you so -_-
RT: I TOLD YOU IT WASN'T MY...
Anyways this is all for today, expect next parts soon and probably another guest if I bother to look for one xD
