Video Game Bedtime Stories Collection [Rated G: for G...veryone]

[Redlark]

I wasn't sure if this could go in the FanFiction section, since it seems like primarily Pokemon related, but I thought some of you would enjoy this little diddy I wrote and posted on my YouTube Channel. Hopefully I can start writing more of these fan kid books if people are interested in me doing so, or need free e-book/fanfiction directed towards children.

Mega Man 1: The Birth of a Hero

Away in the future, in a far away land;
In the year 20XX, there lived a good man.
His name was Dr. Thomas Light, he was an inventor;
His goal was a bright future, to make all the world better.

He built Gizmos and Gadgets;
Springers and Sprockets.
Whatsits and Whizzers;
Tinkers and Fizzers.
Things that helped build things.
Things that helped fix things.
Things that helped dig things.
Things that helped move things.

But most of all, in his great imagination;
Dr. Light loved one thing most of all, above all his invention.

Dr. Light loved to build robots.

Now Dr. Light had a partner, who was always so smiley;
But deep down inside, his intentions were viley.
His partner built robots too, they were nearly as great;
But his partner grew jealous, and looked at his friend with hate.

“Why can’t I be as famous,” his partner lamented.
“The world should know how great I am,
That I am the better, that I am the best!
I’ll make the world know, I’ll make the world fear!
That Dr. Light is a joke, compared to me, I contest.”

“Everyone will know my name, they will hide and cower.
Everyone will know my name;
They will shout!
They will cry!
That I—

--am the Great Dr. Albert Wily.”

Now Dr. Light didn’t know that his friend had grown angry.
He just knew, and felt sad, that their friendship was failing.
So Dr. Light did what he knew, and did what he did best;
He built two robot children, a brother and sister; named them Rock and Roll.
And in their programming have love and bravery above all, profess.

But one dark day, Dr. Wily brewed.
A plan to control all the robots, with a virus that stewed.
Sniper Joes, Mets, and Picket Men at his will.
Tellys, Battons, Octopus Batteries; all reprogrammed to kill.

But above them all, the Robot Masters were the strongest.
Ice Man, Fire Man, Bomb Man, and Cut Man.
Elec Man and Guts Man; but most of all feared…
…The Yellow Devil.

Dr. Wily attacked! The robot army did sting.
And all seemed lost, with Dr. Wily as king.
Dr. Light, Rock, and Roll; ran away to find shelter;
At Light’s secret lab, where they knew they’d find cover.

Dr. Light was disheartened, and Roll was afraid;
But Rock was determined, and not at all frayed.

Without Light’s approval, Rock upgraded his parts.
The Blue Bomber Helmet.
The Blue Bomber Armor!
A Plasma Cannon into hand,
Rock stood in front of his Father.

“Father,” Rock stated. “I must go fight Wily!
No robot on Earth, but I, stands a chance to his army.”

Roll stood quietly; anxious, then cried,
“But Rock, we’re family, Wily’s too strong!
If you go out there and fight, it’s suicide!”

But Dr. Light knew, Rock had already decided;
Looked at him firmly, and said…

“Rock, my son; your plan is noble.
So I entrust you with an upgrade.
A project abandoned…
You will become…”
“Mega Man.”

So Dr. Light, Rock, and Roll; began to plan a scheme.
To fight Dr. Wily, cause Wily was mean.
It was true Dr. Wily had an army to spare;
But Rock to be Mega Man; could he really fare?

Light gave Rock upgrades galore,
To adapt,
To retract,
To run,
And to slide.
Dr. Light strengthened his blaster,
To shoot, shoot, shoot.
So Dr. Wily’s army would fail,
And go kapoot, poot, poot!

(Except for shooting up; he can’t seem to do that and I’m not sure why.)

So as Mega Man; Rock fought steady.
He beat up Ice Man, Fire Man, and blasted Bomb Man to bits.
Cut Man, Elec Man, and Guts Man to grits.

Oh… But that Yellow Devil sure gave Mega Man a fright,
He was big, strong, and scary; a true monster to sight.

That Devil smashed and he pummeled;
He shot and he grappled.
Is Mega Man finshed?
Has he finally met his match?

No!

Mega Man is the greatest robot of all!

It was tough and vicious; a really long fight.
But with all his new weapons, Mega Man was a victor in might!

But last came Dr. Wily, in a big dark castle.
Filled with lazers and Mets,
Traps and Sniper Joes.
Tricky timed jumps,
There was even lava and coals!

Wily’s fort was confusing, and really a baffle.
But Mega Man fought strong,
Mega Man blasted away.
Slid around traps,
And jumped out of the way.
He beat up baddie robots…
…and then he met Dr. Wily.

Wily built a giant machine of his own design,
It had bombs, it could fly, and shot lightning in prime.

But Mega Man was too fast, for old Dr. Wily;
Too fast and too smart, for Wily the Viley.
Mega Man won the fight!
He threw Wily in jail!
Brought peace to the land, and…

Dr. Light was proud.

Mega Man really is the greatest robot of all.

THE END

Author's Note: At some point I'll probably do a Pokemon one, since by request my kids have asked me to do one anyway. But in the meantime, here's Sonic. Enjoy.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDmZH-SZtHk&feature=youtu.be

Sonic the Hedgehog

Abroad the Emerald Hills, where the sun is always shiny;
Amongst the daffodils, where the sea is always briny.

The folk known as Islanders, live in peace and cheer;
There are rarely ever banters, without a trace of fear.

But that was a couple years ago;
When the times were different from what we know.
How the life of the islanders have changed since then;
Their once beaming faces, losing all their glow.

Islanders beaten; the trees burned down; All those free, began to cower.
It was a dim wintery day, with dark clouds and a storm;
Innocent transformed; Island in ruins; the evil Robotnik had come to power.

Dr. Robotnik came like a wave, destroying each and every one flower;
Turning islanders to cyborgs, all being forced to conform;
Islanders beaten; the trees burned down; All those free, began to cower.

Some rebels fought back, like the fox, Miles Tails Prower.
But every skirmish a fail, every fight a bust to return to the norm;
Innocent transformed; Island in ruins; the evil Robotnik had come to power.

From the rolling Green Hill Zone, to the Hill Tops turned sour;
Robotnik fought with a fury, a frightful vengeance of scorn.
Islanders beaten; the trees burned down; All those free, began to cower.

Despite the valiant attempts of the brave to regain their hour;
The evil Doctor’s army, stung like a thorn.
Innocent transformed; Island in ruins; the evil Robotnik had come to power.

So that’s the history, tears falling like a shower;
Hope lost; Robotnik’s oppression without reform;
Islanders beaten; the trees burned down; All those free, began to cower.
Innocent transformed; Island in ruins; the evil Robotnik had come to power.

But things slowly changed, as a hero was born, faster than the speed of sound;
Fighting Robotnik’s army, with a dash and a spin, the islander’s hearts began to bound!
He was blue, but ran like a blur, and zipped by every trap.
He bolted like lightning, past every small cyborg, had a victory with every lap.
He freed his friends from their robotic chains, not missing a single place on the map.
So Dr. Robotnik built mechabots to defer, to knock out that blur with a pound.

Robotnik built smashers and swingers to beat the blur to the ground,
Robotnik built a greater army, but the blur too fast to be found.
Across the Ancient Ruins, his army fell to a scrap;
In a Chemical Plant he had built, broken bots rattled with a rap;
Everywhere Robotnik looked for the bold blue blur, led to a dead end on his map.
Robotnik cursed at the unnamed hero, all plans to beat him, unwound.

So the evil Dr. Robotnik swung into action, for even greater bots;
Mecha-suits to arm himself, to battle against the unknown rebel islander;
With drills, rockets, and bombs to take the blue blur to the grinder;
But every single time Robotnik found him, there were only missed shots.

All the wires of Robotnik’s army, tied up into knots,
Robotnik thought to himself and began to wonder,
If this was only one hero, or a legion of thunder;
So Robotnik devised yet another plan, to brew more devious plots.

But,
On a remote hidden corner of the islander’s home land;
The surviving Islander rebels planned quietly for their win.
Tails Prower the Fox, planned an attack for one last stand;
Uncertain, with the odds against them; Tails tried to smile, though hopes were thin.

Tails brought all the Islanders, for a huddle; a strategy;
Told the rebels their plan of attack, that this was their chance;
A final push against Robotnik, or their homes and lives would be lost to Robotnik’s abuse.
He had built a couple machines of this own ingenuity;
To help their small squad fight with a possible victory stance;
For if they didn’t act now, any other fight would only yield no use.

But out of the wilds, there came a swift sound;
The pattering of feet, rumbling the ground.
It zipped by the rebels, as if assessing the situation;
And in one clear stop, the speedy blue blur, was finally found!

The mystery hero grinned, with a friendly smile;
It was clear that he had travelled, many a mile.
“I’m Sonic,” he said. “And speed’s my game;
I’m here to fight that Ro-butt-nik in style.”

The Islanders cheered, the rumors were true!
The lone blue blur, was besting Robotnik’s crew.
With Sonic in the lead, Tails and the rebel’s spirits rose;
For Sonic the Hedgehog, is too much to chew.

(Of course Sonic ate a couple chili dogs before everything. It’s a matter of calorie consumption with running so fast all the time.)

Sonic and Tails hit it off like bread and butter;
Tails made Sonic shoes, that made his feet faster and flutter.
And with the two new friends working together so well;
All the rebels knew, Robotnik’s army would fall apart into clutter.

So Sonic led the charge, against the aggressors;
From the tops of every mountain, to the deepest of every mine.
Sonic ran and spun, obliterating their oppressors;
Freedom for the Islanders was near, twas only a matter of time.

At first Robotnik thought, he had the upper hand;
That the Islanders were weak; his victory simple and quick.
But as Sonic led the charge, the tables began to turn;
Robotnik’s losses more frequent, his failure unplanned;
The Doctor tried fiercer, but the blue blur always had a trick.
So Robotnik looked from afar, in a giant ship; watching his army burn.

Robotnik sent out flying machines, out by the twenty;
An air fleet of steel, like locusts hungry to fight.
Zigging and zapping at the lands in a plenty;
Firing missiles and fire, the skies and land began to ignite.

Robotnik’s crown flagship flew above the onslaught,
Watching, commanding his army’s final drive.
It was named the Death Egg, and spanned bigger than the sky;
It was Robonik’s ace in the sleeve, his final big plot.
But over the horizon, a small plane swerved with a dive;
Causing his air fleet to stumble and scatter awry.

Robotnik peered through his scope, and cursed loudly to his on board screens;
He could see the rebel leader, Tails Prower the Fox, but—
Leaping from it’s wings, wrecking about his fleet of machines;
Was the blue blur flying towards him, Robotnik screamed, “That MUTT!”

Robotnik began to smash and pull every button and nob;
From the bridge of his airship, he rained bullets at the hero’s biplane.
Rockets flew, robotic birds shrieked with claws forward;
But Tails piloted like an ace with a duck and a bob.
The arsenal of Robotnik, didn’t seem to wane;
Then one lucky shot grazed Tail’s plane, and smoke ignited propelling Sonic and Tails downward.

“Sonic!” Tails cried, “I can’t keep her afloat, we’re going to go down!”
“Just a little closer, buddy,” Sonic said, “Ro-butt-nik can’t get away”
“I’ll try my best,” Tails replied, as he pulled at the controls with a frown.
“Thanks, little buddy,” Sonic said with a smile, “I’ll see you after this fray.”

Sonic leapt through the air, towards Robotnik’s crown airship;
With a grab and a spin, he climbed onto it’s side;
Climbing higher and higher, he found a porthole like door;
And with all his strength, he opened it with a flip.
It was dark, but with courage, he climbed inside;
Robotic guards attacked! So Sonic ran towards the airship’s core.

Buzz Bombers, Moto Bugs, and Eggrobos guarded the halls;
Firing plasma bombs and missiles at Sonic, as he ran;
Explosions filled every corner--Sonic could feel the heat singe the tips of his hairs;
But Sonic ran and fought harder, he couldn’t give up--he had to fight for every Islander clan.

Newtons appeared from out of the walls, tripping sonic from the left to the right;
As Egg Fighters shot lasers, as they marched determined toward our hero;
Cluckers aimed their sights as Sonic pressed on;
While Mantises jumped above out of sight.
But Sonic kept battling, he fought like no zero;
For he knew Robotnik was near, and there would be triumph at dawn.

Then through the great hallways of Robotnik’s Death Egg;
Sonic finally reached his destination, the bridge of ship.
He would finally meet the villain on his last leg;
To finally end the nightmare that was Robotnik’s grip.

Robotnik saw Sonic begin to run forward, toward him;
So he scrambled and panicked, to try to deter;
But Sonic, too fast, had smashed the controls to rubble;
Bringing the Death Egg to a spiral--it’s reign, to dim.
Robotnik too slow for Sonic the blur;
Robotnik screeched out, “Who Are YOU!? Or, do I see double?”

“I’m Sonic the Hedgehog, Dr. Ro-BUTT-nik; To be honest, your plan is dumb.
I’m the fastest thing on two feet, can’t be beat; But for now; Gotta’ Run!”
“I’LL GET YOU NEXT TIME!!” Robotnik roared, “You haven’t seen the last of me!”
Robotnik panicked, his army beaten--he was forced to flee.

Sonic and Tails returned victorious, all the Islanders rejoiced!
“Hoorah! For Sonic the Hedgehog! Guardian of the Emerald Island!”
Sonic achieved a job well done.

Author's Notes: This is a parody of the classic children's bedtime story, Good Night Moon. It was a long time coming and at some point required as click bait for my YouTube channel... sorry. I don't usually bandwagon, but this one was out of necessity.

Good Night Freddy

On cold dark night, a quarter past two,
There was a telephone,
And a birthday balloon,
And an old spinning fan running since the late afternoon.
And a hungry little chicken, your chops all a lickin’,
And a fox behind a curtain who had once bit a person,
And a fuzzy tall bunny who had teeth sharp and funny.
And a bear made of plush,
Freddy, with jaws that could crush,
And a guy on the phone whispering, “Hush.”
Good night, telephone. Good night, birthday balloon.
Good night fan running since the late afternoon.
Good night Chica the Chicken, and your sharp teeth a lickin’.
Good night Foxy behind the curtain, your hunger uncertain.
Good night Bonnie the Rabbit, who’s made murder a habit.
Good night Freddy made of wires and plush.
Good night to your teeth, that when you see me, is urged to rip and crush.
Good night to the purple man in the shadows whispering, “Hush.”
Good night Freddy Fazbear’s. Good night, stale air.
Good night to my friends banging on the doors… making noises, everywhere.

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

I don't know much about the games at all but I liked your stories, especially the Mega Man one! I feel much more well informed about the games now, so that's a bonus. :)

I have played some Mega Man Battle Network but I had no idea Mega Man and Roll were siblings xD

[Redlark]

^_^ I'm glad you enjoyed them, they're pretty fun to write and it pushes my kids to read more... or at least that's my intention, whether it works or not, I'm not sure. But yeah-Mega Man and Roll are siblings. Kind of a mind blow for me when I was a kid, awkward to say the least, since I thought it was closer to a Mario/Princess relationship lol. But it explains the absolute lack of romance in the games. If you have any requests, I'll be happy to take them as well.

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Oh my gosh, I thought the exact same thing about Mega Man and Roll! I always thought they were really cute together. So when I read your story I was like "...WHAT?!" Awkward, yes. XD

Haha you are a really cool dad! The Freddy one is so creepy though. I hope they don't get nightmares! XD

I'd love to see the Pokemon one that your kids requested, actually. :D

[Redlark]

It's been too long, but here's a new one. Yeah... it's another parody, but it's still fun for the kiddos and a good exercise in writing parodies of popular children's books. But on a side note: it's been a rough past couple months for me, so yar...

If You Give Lara Croft a Cookie


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80bSsjXzD84&feature=youtu.be

If You Give Lara Croft a Cookie

If you give Lara Croft a Cookie, she'll say, “Thank you very much.”
Then she'll probably become a little thirsty and ask you for some coffee.

She'll sip on her coffee and say, “That's good, I'll need that for my job.”
And before you can ask, she'll say, “I'm off to find lost treasure.”

You follow Lara in curiosity and watch her grab her pistol, and after looking for a while;
Lara will ask, “Have you seen my bow?”

When you hand Lara Croft her bow and some arrows, she'll ask you where a canteen is for water.
Then when you hand her a canteen, she'll probably ask you for a phone.

If you give Lara Croft a phone, she'll call a taxi to your door.
And when that taxi comes, she'll hand you a backpack full of supplies and ask if you would like to come along.

At the airport, you'll follow Lara on a plane headed for a far exotic land.
Deep into the jungles and up to the top of a mountain you'll trek, and you'll ask Lara, “Where are we going?”

At the top of the mountain, Lara will point to a hidden temple and tell you, “Into that lair. That is where the treasure lies.”

After some fancy climbing, a hop and skip on precarious ledges, Lara Croft will open the door to the hidden ruins and tell you to watch your step.

And if you let Lara Croft lead your expedition, she'll deactivate all the traps.
And if you let Lara Croft lead your exploration, she'll find a treasure chest.

And if Lara Croft studies the treasure chest, she'll find out that it's been locked.
Then you'll look around the temple for the key, but Lara will probably do most of the work.

And when you and Lara find the key, Lara will lead you back to the chest.
Then Lara will open the old treasure chest and find an ancient artifact and ask you to put it in you backpack.

If you let Lara Croft lead your journey further, you'll head deeper in the ruins to find a secret jungle.
Then in the depths of that secret jungle you may hear a fearsome roar.

And if you and Lara hear that fearsome roar, you'll tremble in your boots.
The ground may rumble and the trees may shake, but Lara will look determined.

You may be scared and stutter your words, as you glance to Lara and ask,
“What's in the shadows of the bush?”

But Lara will smile, and reassure, and tell you, “I've got this. Now shush.”

And if Lara tells you that, “she's got this and shush.” You'll wait in the foliage of the jungle waiting for...

A T-REX!

And if you find a T-Rex, you'll probably panic and step back a little.
But Lara will charge the monster with her pistols and fight a furious battle.

And if Lara fights the T-Rex, she'll whip and shoot angering the giant further.
Until after the scuffle, Lara will probably win. And for the sake of science, exploration, and rows of really sharp, sharp teeth.
That's a good thing.

And if Lara beats the T-Rex away, she'll ask you to follow further.

You don't really have a choice at this point... because you'd probably forget where the exit was.

And if you follow Lara through the ruins, it'll be clear that at the end was a tomb.
And if you and Lara reach the tomb, she'll tell you what she found.

A lost legendary artifact of a great civilization, forgotten to world history.
Then Lara will pick up the artifact and hand it to you to place it in your backpack.

And when you and Lara find the artifact, she'll tell you that your journey was finally done.
That the mission was a success, that it's time to find the exit, and that it's finally time to leave the ruins.

And if the journey was a success, and Lara is glad, you'll travel back to the airport.
You'll fly with Lara on a plane, headed for home sweet home.

And when you finally reach home and Lara gives the treasure to the museum, you will be very tired.
Then if you're tired, you'll probably be hungry, and proceed to find a snack.

And when you find a snack, Lara Croft will probably be hungry too.

And if Lara Croft is hungry, you'll probably give her a cookie.

[Redlark]

It's been a while, so I apologize for anybody that's been trying to keep track of these. I've just been a bit too busy. v_v But yar, as requested by one of my sons. Here's one about the classic Donkey Kong arcade game from 1981.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQQYl7iTgDs

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: The Rivalry Begins
Written By, Sensei Pong (aka. Redlark, Fred, and FlyingSheep of Newgrounds).

Before Mario was known as being really super.
He worked as a contractor, alongside his little brother.
This isn't to say that those days lacked enlightenment;
Al contrario, il mio amico; his first bouts were full of excitement.

Mario, at the time, had a girl friend named Pauline;
She was pretty and nice, and always quite keen.
There was also Luigi, but he's not really in this story;
Despite being his brother, and important in all their, well–
Later glory.

It was back years ago, on the ninth of July;
A hot summer's morn, Mario had work that day.
Luigi had the day off, and Pauline said goodbye;
And Mario, ready to work, left without any dismay.

But as Mario rode the subway, he overheard a radio speak;
It was a news break, of dire straits and transgression.
The reporter boomed, “Alert! A woman's up a bad creek!
A giant ape named Donkey Kong has turned to aggression!
This is madness! This is badness!
The fearsome ape DK has kidnapped a poor lady!
He's taking her to a construction yard, on the corner plaza of Cress!”

Mario was shocked, that's where he worked; he just had to listen to what else the report would say.

“Yes. Okay. News update. Listen up.
The damsel in distress had been identified as a girl named Pauline,
And Donkey Kong has taken her, and is now headed high in the air, climbing up, up, and up!”

Mario alerted from his regular routine, had a new job to do--
There was nothing, but to save his friend from the horrible scene!
Reaching the tower of I-beams and ladders, of oil cans and barrels;
Mario looked up to see DK in a loud, frightening, frenzy.
There was Pauline at his side, yelling for help,
And police too scared to confront the mighty ape, throwing barrels a plenty.

So Mario gathered his courage and marched towards a ladder and began climbing high;
A barrel had rolled and smashed into an oil can, setting it into a fiery blaze.
Mario ran! Climbed his way towards the top, up higher and higher, reaching great heights in the sky!
Then more barrels came down, as Mario dodged and he jumped,
It was close, but he trekked on. For Mario was clever, and could outwit the laddery maze.

Finding a hammer, Mario grabbed it with confidence,
A barrel rushed after him, but he smashed it to parts;
Then he had found Pauline's parasol that flew down from above,
So he threw it below, to the onlookers, to safety,
He was making saving Pauline turn into a masterful art.

Up ladders, past flame, Mario was determined to save his beloved dame.
Donkey Kong high above, stomped and he hooted;
Donkey Kong, the giant who no one could tame.
A crowd below gathered and saw Mario have courage,
In great shouts of cheer, the crowd called to their hero,
And in glorious hollers and roars, they rooted.

And as Mario leaped towards to the high tops of the tower,
Mario began to get frightened as he approached DK's gargantuan power.
But far down below, a man named Miyamoto watched;
And was inspired, to turn this act of bravery into a game.

After barrel upon barrel, after jumping a flame,
Mario endured, as he climbed up to the top.
And though he was tired, his strength did not wane,
Mario gripped his giant hammer and smacked DK, with a bop!

Donkey Kong blinked twice, unsure what had hit him,
Dizzy and confused, he plopped to the ground;
He blacked out and fainted, as if the Sandman had stopped him,
Snoring a little, DK fell asleep, without a sound.

Pauline, still in panic; looked around to see the commotion.
Glanced towards DK at her feet, snug as a bug in a rug.
Mario was relieved. Pauline, overflowing with emotion;
Mario strode proud but fatigued, as Pauline rushed to her hero,
Giving him a kiss and hug.

What happened to Donkey Kong, you might ask?
He's okay, he's fine. He was having a bad day.
He's an ape after all, we can't hold that against him.
He was captured by hunters, then saved by the zoo;
But the zoo was out of bananas, and frankly...
That made him angry beyond the feeling blue.

(Okay, I know. That's how Donkey Kong's problems normally arise. He's a pretty simple dude, with a one track mind.)

And, as you probably all know, that's not the end of the tale;
It was only the beginning of many adventures to come.
For both Mario and Donkey Kong, both heroes without fail;
Began their rivalry that day, in a fight,

With Mario who won.

THE END
