Well, this is going to be a strange story, but let's get it on.
FIRE MARIO AND THE SATCHEL OF CANDY
Chapter One: Dateline
Let us go back in time for a second. The world we live in is the White Void, right. Usually a peaceful place until a fight breaks out, which happens often. But for the most part, peaceful. You walk out of the house, and walk through the streets of Brawl City. You can see see the small children of the pedestrians enjoy playing on the swing sets of the local park. You can see them enjoying themselves, and eating sugary candy. You can see the children's moms sit on a park bench, talking the day away, talking about current events and shoes like most females. Peaceful, right? Come back to here and now. President Balto and his trusty cabinet of officials, Elementell, Mega, John12346, RKThrilla, and Trinidex, have taken over the world we know as the White Void. They have made the capital of the White Void, of course, Brawl City. They have illegalized fun and enjoyment. Those parks and smiling faces have all disappeared, replaced by gladiator coliseums and blood drenched brawlers. Even the sweet, innocent children of the olden days have disappeared. The President made it official that once a pedestrian had reached the age of four, he must be thrown into a coliseum for the first time. The monster. The world as we know it went from a happy, shining paradise, to a red-stained hellhole. Then there's me. I am an adventurer who seeks help and praise from the Gods. I tend to stay far from Brawl City, to seek what may lie beyond the gates of brawl. I have gone many miles in my journey, and it was not successful in finding the peace and serenity of the ancient White Void. Until, that is, I went cave exploring in the Brawl Caverns.
Chapter Two comming soon. There, I will explain more of this plot.

Interesting. I hope you're no going to make it too random. Nah, believe it or not, it's going to be a straightforward story. I may throw in some randomisity into the mix, but nothing to throw the story wildly off course.

Chapter Two: Exploration
Well, as I have said before, I began to search through the Brawl caverns. Not many people have gone exploring into the caves, only briefly walked inside of them, and then flew out. For those of you who never been inside the cave, it's extremely vast. So many rock formations, and even crystals behind a waterfall. It's so beautiful. But, in addition to all that, there is treasure waiting for you. I found my treasure deep within the caves.
On the first mile of the cave, I fell into a rocky ditch. Just some scraped arms and knees, but nothing major. I saw a small peice of gold laying on the ground. Not wanting to take what I don't need, and weighing myself down, I left it there. I got up, and underwent more of my trek. I knew it was going to be a long ride.
An hour of exploring later, I realized it was getting quite dark. Finding a piece of wood laying on the cave floor, I lit it on fire, to use as a torch. I hoped this fire would last long. I was in for a suprise, however, when I saw a skeleton of a lost adventurer in the cave. I examined it for clues on why it was there, but found nothing. It must of been from exhaustion.
Finally, in the darkest region of the cave, where the fire only make a slight print in the ghastly fog of darkness, I have found the ultimate treasure. A chest, six feet wide, four feet tall, filled with to the brim with gold and jewels. The problem was, the one thing I was looking for in that chest was not there. I closed the chest with a heavy heart, and left it there. It may be there still, if someone hasn't taken it yet.
As I was walking towards the mouth of the cavern, distraught, something caught my eye. A small bush of hay lied there on the ground, in a side cavern that I have not noticed before. I ran in, and found a worn, leather satchel on the ground. I was sure that it was my prize that I have been searching for. I stuffed it into my pocket, when the flame on my torch went out. Alone, in the dark, miles away from civilization. Great. As I fumbled around to try to find my dropped stick, I hear breathing from behind me. Deep, breathing, as if something from a beast. A large paw then rested on my shoulder, claws digging into my skin.

Chapter Three: Man V. Beast
The sharp pain that then occured in my shoulder was unbearable. My knees buckled, and I fell to the ground. A sharp stone that was lying on the cave floor nearly impaled my leg as I came crashing down. The rock slit my leg. Not much, but enough for me to howl in pain. As I was lying there, paralyzed by the pain, the paw that was just on my shoulder a few moments ago crashed right onto my back. Unable to move underneath the bear's hold on me, I knew it was over. Suddenly, of of the blue, the beast began to yelp in pain. He loosened his grip on my, and I bolted out of there as quickly as possible. It seems that the the torch that I had thrown to the ground earlier had somehow resparked itself, and the bear had stood ontop of it, causing it to burn itself. While the bear, now being the one rolling in agony, was tending to it's wounds, I ran out of that place as quickly as I could. Since I no longer had my wood, I had to use fireballs to light up the pathway. I'd rather use a torch, because using the fireball method is a waste on energy.
Soon, I came to it. The light at the end of the tunnel. I dashed out of the Cavern, and kissed the ground. Then, I remembered the satchel I stole from the bear. I pulled it out of my pocket, and pulled it out. As soon as I pulled it out, I knew that this- thing - was going to be the object that was going to save the happiness in the White Void. The only problem was, I had no clue what was on it. I only reconized it from the strange markings on the worn leather that I have read in storybooks. Before I could untie the string that bound the sack closed, a distant rumbling made me drop the bag. I then hear a booming voice from above.
"You have found the gift of the Gods, the one that will save the sanity of the World".

Chapter Four: Mission Acquired
I looked around, trying to figure out where that voice came from. I looked in the mouth of the cave, and in all other directions. It seemed to come out of nowhere. Then, it spoke again.
"Do not be alarmed. For I am the one who is present everywhere."
Dumbfounded, I thought to myself. Someone who makes there presence everywhere? The-Omnipresence?
"OK, Omni. Where are you? I know it's you." I shouted.
The ominous voice sighed. From behind me, I heard the rustle of some tree branches. I spun around, only to see a black stick figure with red eyes and a purple mouth.
"Did someone call me?" He asked. "No. Get back in the cage". I told him, jokingly.
Omni, looking distraught, bowed his head in shame, and sadly walked away. Remind me to apologize to him later.
Anyways, when Omni was out of sight, the booming voice spoke again.
"I am the God that resides over the White Void.", he said. "What you have just collected in that satchel is the Gift of the Gods, that will help you in your journey."
"Hey, how did you know that I was on a journey?"
"/facepalm", said the God. I don't know how he made the slash apparent in normal speech, or how he made the picture appear as well. I guess that's one of the mysteries of God. "Anyway, in that satchel is the Golden Objects, and what will save this world from the depression set in by the man you know as Balto. Please, my son, open up the satchel."
Estatic about seeing what was in the satchel, what I just risked my life for, I tore open the sack. I gaped in agony after seeing the items in the sack.
"CANDIES? I just risked my life for eight pieces of CANDY?!" I was shocked. Was this some sort of cruel joke? Was the inequivalent of a roll of Life Savers the thing that was going to save the earth? Reading my thoughts, the God then spoke.
"Yes. These eight candies are the Golden Candies. Each one clears a persons mind of the dread and woe that one may have faced in the world. You are to give each candy to eight willing Brawlers you have met. The candy will wash their minds of the misery, and each one will join your group. The nine of you will go to the President's building, fight the five Cabinet members, and take out the man named Balto. You only have three weeks to sucessfully win this war, or the world will become permanently under the Dog's rule. Find the seven..."
The voice then drifted off. I was shocked. Where was I going to find eight people, take out five major brawlers, AND the president in three weeks? There was no way.
TIME REMAINING: 504 HOURS

Chapter Five: The Search for the Brawlers Part 1: Kev
TIME REMAINING: 500 HOURS
Heeding the God's warning, I went out to search for these eight brawlers that are supposed to help me. But first, I collapsed from loss of blood from the wounds that I got from the bear. I woke us three hours later in the Brawl City Hospital. Good thing RubyXOXO is almost neutral on Brawling. She is a wonder with sutures and medical tape. I took a look at my clock. 6:30 in the evening. Great. I'm losing time. But how much?
As I turned my head to fall back asleep, the clock made a strange noise. It seemed to spell out a couple garbled letters; V, E, K. I swiveled my head around, to see the clock has set itself to 5:00. What does this mean? Is it some message from the God? I dashed out of the hospital bed, and accidentally knocked over Ruby in the process. Remind me that I need to apologize to her, too.
I dashed out of the hospital, only to see a minor coliseum right across from it. I decided to check in, to see if there might be anyone inside that may be of assistance. I ran in, and took a seat in the middle rows. So many bystanders; I didn't know so many live in this city. I looked down, and saw a fight beginning to brew. A lion (one of the most generic fights ever) versus a stick man wearing a red headband and black bandannas. The fight was horrible. The stick man took out a sword or some sharp object, that was on FIRE, and sliced the lion's head off. Very gruesome. I looked up on the top row of seats, in the stands across from me, and could see President Balto laughing hysterically.
The stick man went into the gladiator locker room, where he was doused with cold water to wash the blood off. I secretly went into the locker room, which was hard to do, seeing as the guards were the bodyguards from the Band other brawlers made, back when enjoyment was still allowed. They are much larger in person.
Anyway, I confronted the stick figure, who turned out to be Kev. I told him about the mission I was on, and asked him if would do the honor of joining this quest.
"...", replied Kev.
He seemed to be brainwashed through the process of countless bloody fights. I took a peice of the gold-wrapped candy out from the satchel.
"Here, eat this. It will make you feel better."
He snatched the candy out from my hands, pulled down his bandanna just a slight bit, and popped the candy in. A few seconds, he swallowed the candy, and his eyes began to dilate. He then began to shook, as if he was having a seizure! I stood back, not knowing what to do. I nearly panicked, until Kev stopped shaking and stood up.
"Wha- what happened to me?", he asked me. I told him that he has been brainwashed by Balto and his league of officers. I told him about this satchel of candy, and the mission I was on.
"So, are you in?" "Yeah, I guess so." "We need to hurry and find seven more Brawlers, through. It may take a while. You ready to go?" "Yeah. Let's go."
TIME REMAINING: 496 HOURS

Aww, guys! I said I can only accept seven of you, but eight people want to join! Well, I guess I'll have to go back and edit my story to include eight people. But I can't now, because these damn school computers won't allow me. But that's it. No more people will be added! Thanks! Also, the two people that will be added into the story are Madvideogamer and Grimscott. The list will be modified later on today. With the next chapter.
