Chapter 1 It was a beautiful day. Ben was very bored. He decided to go on the Internet. He was just browsing, when he saw an ad that interested him. It read, "Cheap flights to Mato Asia for less than $1." He had read about Mato Asia in books, and he knew it was a nice place to visit. Since Ben did not have much money, this ad was ideal. He notified his sister Eliza and his brother Envo, and they said they would come along to see what it would be like. When Ben went to tell his other sister Efrutiva; however, something terrible happened. Efrutiva screamed in her room "Mato Asia is owned by me and I will never let anyone in!" Now you may be thinking, "Well, it's just a scream. What's so bad about that?" Well, Efrutiva's screams are louder than a roaring lion. They burn your ears. So Ben ran downstairs and outside. He went to the Complaint Center. He put in a complaint reading, "My sister Efrutiva is lying that she owns Mato Asia so I can't go." Just then, an employee came up and read Ben's complaint. He said to Ben: "Kill Efrutiva.". Those were his only words, then he walked off. Ben went back home. He read a book on kiling people. He went into Efrutiva's room and no one was there, so he used his Spy-Camera to spy on Efrutiva. He saw Efrutiva on a flight to Mato Asia, unpacking her Trap-Fast tablets. Ben ran downstairs. He notified Envo and Eliza. They said: “We figured she would make a trap. We made Anti-Trap tablets to help.” They decided that they would wait a while to go to Mato Asia, because the tablets contained magic that would take several days to settle. Ben went outside with no explanation. He ran to a restaurant and ordered Envoburgers for Envo, because he looked hungry at home. He went home with the Envoburgers. On the way, he saw his old friend Pickles. Now you are probably thinking: “Why is he named Pickles? That’s a weird name.” Well, he likes pickles a lot. He ate all the pickles at Ben’s Pickle Corner (a pickle resturant) and made the whole city short of pickles one day. Anyway, Pickles said: “Hey , Mr.Ben. You know how much I love pickles? Well, could you please go to the store and get me a jar or two? Anyway, bye.” Ben agreed, and walked out to Ben’s Shopping Suite (yes, Ben is famous) and bought him two jars of Envo’s Pickles. He went to pay for the pickles. Since he was the owner of the store, he got them for free. He ran to Pickles’s house and went inside. He decided to stay and chat. Pickles’s house was very dark. He sat on the rugged couch. Ben asked: “What’s new?” Pickles said that his mother died yesterday. Ben was astonished. He knew his mother, and she was in good health before. Ben asked: “Why did she die?” Pickles answered: “She went to the zoo and got bitten by a loose snake. She died before the hospital staff could come.” Ben said: “Well, that’s sad. Anyway, I’d better be going.” Ben ran to his office. (Ben works for a company that makes toilet paper.) He was the founder. He went into room 9001 (his office) and took out the Book of Life. He read some of the measures for having a better life. Eventually Ben became bored, so he put a request to Toilet Paper (the employee of the month) to make 1337 rolls of toilet paper. Ben went to the library and read some books. Ben eventually went all around town doing everything imaginable. He went back home and got his car. He drove to the next town and started doing “stuff” there too. He decided to go home. However, he was very tired, so he took a nap. He was awakened by a scream. People were screaming “OVER 9000!” Ben was very confused. He went outside, and so did Eliza and Envo. (Remember, Efrutiva is now in Mato Asia.) The boys (and one girl) saw a squad of knights. They were the Over 9000 club knights. Ben and Envo and Eliza remembered they came once a year to see who liked Over 9000. In a flash the knights were gone, and Ben went back to sleep, because he only managed to sleep for 00000000000.1 miliseconds. Chapter 2 When Ben woke up, he decided to go join Over 9000. He took a bus to the Over 9000 Club base, and he paid $13,379,001.00 Since the cashiers were very dumb, they gave Ben his money back and let him in anyway. He went to the Newbie room, and took the Over 9000 scream tutorial. He screamed loud and wide: “OVER 9000 RULES, OVER 9000 IS THE BEST! OVER 9000 IS 9001, AND THAT IS THE BEST.” He went to the Club Area, and started dancing and singing. He then saw a blue bus pull up in the reserved driveway, and over 9000 people came out. They all came in the window and a door appeared out of nowhere. All the knights and people (and Ben) went in. Beyond that door was a dark, cold hallway with an old-looking door at the end. Suddently, everybody but Ben disappeared and Ben fell through the floor. Ben found himself in a cold, wet hallway. Ben saw a treasure chest marked “It’s over 9000!” Ben opened it and found over 9000 pieces of gold. Ben saw a door marked “Escape Route”. Ben entered it. All of a sudden, Ben appeared in front of the clubhouse. Scared and confused, Ben went back home, only to see that he was stuck in an alternate universe.(When Ben went through the door, he went into the alternate universe.) His house was haunted, and Envo and Eliza were ghosts. Ben went to his office. He saw his office was now a tall factory that was haunted by slime. He went into his office and saw ghosts. Ben was very scared. His biggest fear was ghosts. He ran to Pickles’s house. He saw Pickles was gone, and his mother was haunting the house. Ben sat on the couch and looked in front of himself. He saw a figure in black and white. It was…..Pickles. The ghost Pickles roared to scare Ben off. He succeded. Ben ran off and saw that outside the sky was black. He ran to where the Over 9000 club was (the place he had gotten into this universe from) and saw it was now……gone. Ben thought: “I must find a way out of this spooky universe.” All of a sudden, Ben saw a door locked to the floor that was marked Escape Route. Ben went through the door and found himself in a garden at night. Ben saw that it was like his garden at home, but the town around him was empty and his door and window were locked. He decided to run into the distance. He saw the Over 9000 club like it was before he came into this weird universe. He ran past it and towards his hometown. He saw…….home., just as it was before, all nice and neat. He went to his house and explained to Envo and Eliza why he was so late. They said they would have nightmares. The next morning, Envo and Eliza complained to Ben because the story gave them nightmares. Envo reported: “It was a huge….slime….ghost in the tower with graves.” Eliza reported “It was a town…yes…a town…nothing more said.” Envo and Eliza went to their portable jail and arrested Ben. Ben apologized. They let him out of jail. Envo and Ben went to the local arcade to play videogames. Eliza, however, stayed at home and read a book. Envo and Ben played a game called “SuperStar” You would control a master guy and your friend (2nd player) would control a servant guy. You had to beat up the servant. Envo became very tired, so they went home. Ben had some math homework to do. His first problem was: “1797427498739795693475 times 68658734658746857634856387456874658?” Ben almost threw up. He ran to Master Calculator's house and showed him the problem. Master Calculator exploded in a nuclear explosion. Ben, Envo and Eliza took their stuff and ran for their lives. All of a sudden, they found themselves in a city named Darkendville. (Weird name huh?) They saw that all their friends had found themselves in Darkendville aswell.Suddently, Ben noticed things were disappearing. Buildings were vanishing, and everybody but Ben and Envo and Eliza disappeared. Suddenly, a void appeared. It sucked in Ben and Envo and Eliza. They found themselves at a weird castle, that was black colored. Twoweird computers appeared, and they started analyzing Ben and Envo and Eliza. They said: “ERROR. PRESS ANY KEY TO RESTART. ELIZA AND ENVO AND BEN,WHO ARE THE DEMONS OF TIME, HAVE BEEN DETECTED!!!!!!1111 INTRUDER ALERT. INTRUDER ALERT.” Ben said: Wow!!!!111!!111!!! The demons of time? Suddently, a large fish appeared. He ate the castle and said: “Hello mystic beings of darkness. I have come to alert you that you have recently violated two Universe Portals laws:A. Entering Alternate Universe G (for ghosts) and B. Putting an impossible calculation into my cousin. You have 2 choices. A. Go to jail or B. Go back to the alternate universe G and complete a task for me.” Ben said: “What's the task?” Chapter 3 The fish said: “Spend a week in my Ghost Hotel and surviiiiiivvvvveeeeeee!!!!!!” Suddently, Ben and Envo and Eliza appeared outside the alternate universe version of Ben's workplace. Ben saw a label he never saw before. It read: “Ghost Hotel. Suuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrvvvvvvvvvvvviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiivvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeee!” They all went in. It seemed like a normal, non-haunted hotel at first, until they were climbing up the stairs to their room. Ben said: “Did you see that ghost?” Indeed, it was a ghost. The lights turned off and the windows closed. They ran upstairs, but the ghost followed them. Ben, Envo and Eliza jumped out the window, only to be pulled into a void. They found themselves in their own home universe, peaceful and okay. Ben sighed in relief. He went home, but guess who was waiting there? That's right! It was..... the evil fish. He said: “MUAHAHAHAH!! YOU DARE NOT OBEY MY ORDER???????? THAN YOU SHALL DIE!!!!!” And so the battle began. The battle between the two raged, and raged, until the fish exploded in a nuclear explosion. Guess who was inside the fish? That's right! It was.............EFRUTIVA! Yes, you didn't slip up reading. She said: “MUAHAHAH! THAT WAS MY TRICK!!!!11!!1111!” She said that she rented a fish costume from CostuMan. Ben said: “CostuMan??? He's the guy that...that... was the cashier at Ghost Hotel..” Suddently, Efrutiva said: “FIRE!” Many employees of Ghost Hotel (including the ghost they saw) came out and fired super-guns at Ben and Envo and Eliza. Ben and Envo and Eliza all ran towards the Over 9000 club. Ben had a flashback to the blue bus at Over 9000. He was watching the flashback video (recorded on the Flashback Center on his EyeCamera) and saw Efrutiva come out of the bus. Ben looked up at the Over 9000 clubhouse. It was deserted. Inside, it was all run down. Ben went in the direction of Darkendsville. He saw it was also run down. Suddently, Ben saw Efrutiva on one of the run down skyscrapers. She said: “Hey! Darkendsville was my idea for a trap!” Ben opened his closed eyes and nearly exploded in suprise. Ben took out a gun from his backpack and fired lasers at Efrutiva. Efrutiva suddently disappeared into a void. Everything in Darkendsville collapsed. Ben ran back to the remains of his hometown, and saw Pickles, highly injured, lying in the remains. Pickles said: “I'm..... dying.....save.......me.....by.....getting.....me.....some.....pickles......” and fainted. Ben and Envo and Eliza walked over to the remains of their house. It had collapsed in the explosion. Ben saw his bed was the only thing intact. Suddenly, he and Envo and Eliza were sucked into the bed. They saw lots of light coming from nowhere. They saw a monster ahead of them. They ran, but the monster exploded revealing....... you know who..... Efrutiva! Efrutiva said: “You'll....never....get....AWAY! DIE!” Many ghosts came out and ate Ben and Envo and Eliza. Ben and Envo and Eliza found themselves inside the ghosts. They saw the GOG (Gem of Ghosting) and picked it up. They all morphed into spooky ghosts and said: “ALL HAIL EFRUTIVA!!1!!11111!!11!!111!” They all ran away and jumped out of the ghost's mouth and hugged Efrutiva. Efrutiva whispered: “YES! YES! I DID IT!!!!!111 WOOT!!!! I'M 1337!!!!11!1!!!” Efrutiva ordered Ben and Envo and Eliza to go and round up some people around the world for “ghosting”, as Efrutiva called it. They agreed and took Efrutiva Airlines to Antarctica, where they captured some scientists and took them back to the Ghosting Center to ghost them. By screaming “EFRUTIVA= 1337”, anyghost (yes that's one word) could ghost somebody, making them a ghost and brainwashing them to work for Efrutiva. The GOG was an artifact left inside ghosts after ghosting, and it also had the power to ghost someone. Ben and Envo and Eliza were given a temporary ghost, for 1010101010101010101010010101001010101 milleniums. They suddenly appeared in front of their hometown, and they noticed they were no longer ghosts. They took out the Revival Spray to revive the town. Ben noticed something strange on the package. It read:”GET REVIVE-SPRAY TO REVIVE THE ZOMETOWNS” (grammar and spelling and caps intentional) Ben sprayed the Revive-spray around the room, but the only thing that happened was that Efrutiva came up and said: “MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH! YOU DARE USE MY SPRAY???//???/////??////??? THEN YOU SHALL DIEEEEEEEEE!!1!!1111111!!111!111!!” Efrutiva summoned her minions to attack. Ben and Envo and Eliza were captured and taken to the Tower of Efrutiva, (previously the Ghost Hotel) and they were (almost) eaten by ghosts. One day of suffering, Ben saw a door labled Escape Route, and told Envo and Eliza. They (oviously) went through the escape route, and saw time restored. They thought: That Efrutiva.....shall DIEEEEEEEEE! Ben said: Let's go to Anon Arcade first, because I want to play SuperStar. Ben and Envo and Eliza went to Anon Arcade and played, and played, and played, and played (repeat x9001). Eventually, they were tired and they went home. Ben went online and made a website at www.mariorulesandmorestuff.webs.comwww.mariorulesandmorestuff.webs.comwww.mariorulesandmorestuff.webs.comwww.mariorulesandmorestuff.webs.com (Go there... ) He realized just then that the web hosting he used was..... Efrutiva's Evil Ghostly Web Hosting. Efrutiva popped out of his ancient Windows 9 (remember, this takes place in 9999) computer, and started mocking Ben. They had a battle to the death, and Efrutiva gave up and warped herself away. Ben decided to go play his VGHC (V=Video G=Games H=Home C=Console) and he put the SuperStar 793847297348736487536485763487568374658736485 Home Edition disk in it. He started playing on Save File 9001. He was on level -0Mb-8Yz4G (you get 2 points if you understood any of that) which was the Haunted Level. Ben was happily playing, when he noticed something out of the ordinary. The level map was shaped like the Ghost Hotel's top floor. Suddenly, CostuMan jumped out of the screen and said: “I HAUNTED YOUR GAME! EFRUTIVA!!!!!! I HACKED THE VGHC AND GOT TO BEN!!!1!!!!111111111! I'M 1337!111111111!!11111!1!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!1111!!!11111!!11!!!1!1!111!!!11111!!1!!! Ben looked up at the screen and saw an 123456789-bit sprite of the ghost hotel ghost. The ghost said: “You shall..dieee!!1” and exploded. Ben went to his computer. It had 1 mhz, so he had to wait 1010101010010111101001010101001100 hours to boot it up. Ben went to www.goggle.com in an attempt to search the web. Many popups popped up, and Ben's computer was destroyed. Ben said: “I have to buy a new computer then. Let's go to CompuShop.” Ben used $9001 (in today's dollars $00000000000.1) to buy a computer. It turned out to be a ripoff, running Windows 95. Ben installed the “Upgrade-Your-Computer-to-Windows-999999999-Set.” It turned out to be a virus. A popup came up on his computer screen that said:”I GAVE YOU THE EFRUTIVA VIRUS SIGNED EFRUTIVA 5.......4.......3.............2..........1..........”. And so, Ben called 91191991999111 (the emergency number in 9999) and heard nothing but rabid pigs crying. Ben ran outside and was so fed up, he ran to the I'm 1337 club (formerly Over 9000) and called to the 1337 1337ers. They gave him nothing but some diamonds marked “MAGICAL SECRET TO NOBODY”. Ben opened up a diamond and found a sweet chocolate, but decided not to eat it because he saw “SHIPPED FROM EFRUTIVALAND” and it also said “MADE BY EFRUTIVA SWEETS”. Ben threw them in the garbage. Suddenly, Ben saw everything was Efrutiva! He picked up some more sweets, but they all said the same thing. All toys were branded “EFRUTIVA ENTERPRIZES” and all food was “APPROVED BY EFRUTIVA” and all computers were branded “ACCEPTED BY EFRUTIVA HERSELF”. Ben even saw his house was “PARTLY OWNED BY EFRUTIVA HOUSING” and all websites were “MODERATED BY EFRUTIVA” and “HOSTED BY EFRUTIVA HOSTING”. Ben escaped quickly into a nearby cave. He saw blue walls all around him, and 100000 Efrutiva clones. Ben took his Mecha-Calcu and calculated 98753987589357759875983745943857 + 7686887687687687687686876876876 x 987979879867879797976576576. Ben decided to call Pickles on his cellphone, but as the lines had been destroyed in the nucatom explosion, it led to some lady saying:"You have reached Efrutiva-" Ben disconnected. Everything was Efrutiva. Ben decided to stop Efrutiva forever, and he warped to the Anti-Efrutiva Center in Pato Asia.He set up a meeting with Anti Efrutiva, the CEO, and Ben talked with him about everything Efrutiva. They decided to have nuclear war against Efrutiva, so they set up the most powerful kind of nuclear bomb.... the nucatom bomb! They put it on top of Efrutiva HQ in Zato Asia, but the HQ warped to Kato Asia. The same thing happened again, and again (repeat x9001), then Efrutiva shut down the HQ and Ben and Anti, the CEO of Anti-Efrutiva Center, decided to try again tommorow. Ben decided to play more SuperStar, (yes, he's addicted) but his VGHC exploded nucatommically, and Ben died, and he went to EfruHell, where he did the following unfun things: •Ate nuclear toast Played a HellGHC Drank electrical blood Used a Windows 05 computer in a attempt to acsess the Internet, but failed as the proccessor was 1Hz Bathed in lava Owned a cellphone that was man-eating Was forced to wear a mud suit Chapter 4 Ben saw a door labled Escape Route, and he went through it, but Ben got trapped in the remains of Pickles's house!. Ben slunk his way out, and explored the exploded town. He saw: •His office was a couple charred sticks. Ben's house was some planks of wood, but it had collapsed. Pickles's house was ruined inside and outside. Here's what the rooms looked like: Living room: Couch ripped, room collapsing. Bathroom: Completely in the ground and collapsed. Bedroom: Bed in pieces, room itself pretty much underground. Upstairs: Ben coulden't look because the stairs had collapsed. Pickles, or even his body, was nowhere to be found. Suddenly, the town revived itself. Pickles came up and said:”Town's revived itself, hm?” Ben ran to his house. He called to Envo:”Let's play some VGHC!”. Envo came down and played SuperStar 829473985736847563746587365836578368756385634853685763947364578364583765873658734657836458736857368756877897898248726492798410179470847823749264 Home Edition for VGHC, also in GAGAGAGGAGAGAAGGAGAGGA Video Games CATridge format. Ben went to the video game store and bought the SuperStar's Land game that just came out. Ben played it, and found that it was a bootleg copy, that didn't work. Ben complained to the store manager, as he had paid $372,949,238,749,827,958,927,502,509,385,038,049 for a cheap bootleg. The store manager said: “Have fun with no money!” and stormed off. Ben ordered a VGHC PO (portable) from www.mariorulesandmorestuff.webs.com . It came 7 miliseconds later, and it came with SuperStar Land 6 Portable and Rouno's Place 5. They were both fighting games. Ben had never heard of Rouno's Place before, so he played it first. Here's the level list. •Level 1-Efrutiva's Level Level 2- Efrutiva's Level Level 3- ^^ Ben ordered another VGHC PO game, called “The Adventures Of Some Guy.” Ben eventually had enough of the VGHC PO, and ordered the PO2, that came with 1 game, “Efrutiva's Ghost Hotel Bashout, Surviiiiiiiiiiiiiivvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!.” Ben played it, and found that the first town was Darkendsville. Ben walked into the Ghost Hotel, and found the ghost that attacked him, Ma-Ghost. It looked like 3 Za-Ghosts, and 2 Ha-Ghosts. It was the hardest boss ever. When Ben reset the game, he saw the scary sprite of Ma-Ghost, not the title screen. Ben nearly commited suicide, especially because Darkendsville had scary music. The music went like this: I'M EFRUTIVA BOP DE DODODODO... I'M THE SUBLIMINAL DOO DOOOOOOO... Ben fell unconsious. Efrutiva came and laughed suspiciously. Ben woke up in Darkendsville. Ben nearly fell unconsious again when he saw Efrutiva in a UFO. The UFO crashed, and Ben felll through the floor in fright and blow. Ben found himself in an alternate universe, called the Universe F (for fright). Ben found himself in a haunted house. A philosopher came up to him and burned him, and Ben was sent to a hellspital. In the hellspital they tortured Ben, and Ben was eventually healed. Suddenly, one day in Alternate Universe F, Ben saw a friendly alien, that took Ben to a skyscraper in Fruinalesville. The skyscraper was a company head quarters that made cheap video game bootlegs and creeeepppppyyyyyppppaaaasssttttaaassss! They were making “SuperStar Land 9748459573 Bootleg Edition.” It was a creepypasta in which you were in the Ghost Hotel and you had to escape. Ben bought it, and played it on the VGHC Portable, and Ben saw Efrutiva in Level 1, and Efrutiva put Ben under a curse that caused ben to disappear into a portal every few miliseconds. Envo and Eliza heard of the curse, and made a video game to raise money for going to Efrutiva HQ. It was called “Envo and Eliza’s Adventure, Save Ben from Efrutiva and kill Efrutiva!” (long title huh?) It was, however, soon bootlegged by the Fruinalesville team. The bootleg was released massively, which caused massive suicides due to Darkendsville. The bootleg team got rich, and they joined Efrutiva, which caused them to be featured in Envo and Eliza’s still-in-the-works video game. Efrutiva became ruler of the world. Envo decided to warp through time to the future. He saw kids in schools studying the “Efrutivan Dark Ages” and how “Ben” saved the world. Envo was satisfied, and he went back. Efrutiva was busy nuking some cities with nucatom bombs. Envo and Eliza were nearly killed after being invited to a fireworks show in which THEY were the Fireworks. Efrutiva came out of the crowd on the show and picked up a magic gem out of her pocket. Efrutiva turned into Nice Efrutiva, and turned off the fireworks, then she turned into Evil Efrutiva, and took advantage to lie a trap door disguised as a mouthwatering cake. Envo and Eliza fell for it, and found themselves in a basement. A old man said to Envo and Eliza:”To escape you must go into the dark universe that was made long ago and sealed for almost forever until…..never.” Envo and Eliza went towards the door labled Portal. They found themselves in the Dimensional Hole of 100 Trials. Here are the trials they went through: •Trial 1:Eat muffins Trial 2: ^^ and so on…. They eventually reached the end, and saw the sacred Gate To Alternate Universe D (for dark) and they opened it. Unfortunately, Evil Efrutiva was on the other side, and sent Envo and Eliza back to the beginning of the trials, with harder trials then the ones they took previously. The same thing happened to Envo and Eliza, and again, and again,,,,,, (repeat x9001) Envo called the World Help Number at 999 179 32 34 and found some guy on the phone who was having a bad day quite oviously, but bothered to help. He promised he would kill Efrutiva and rescue Ben. He jumped out of the phone and started eating bannanza burgers. He warped to Mato Asia and ate Efrutiva HQ. Efrutiva escaped, but her army were killed and Efrutiva ran to Base 2. The Efrutiva War started. Tons of Efrutiva clones invaded the universe. Efrutiva News Network called it:“the biggest war ever.”, before its station was knocked down by a missle. Efrutiva raced through the universe, killing ants. Efrutiva gave everybody in the world remaining including Ben, who had his curse taken off, an invitation to the remains of Efrutiva HQ. Efrutiva locked everybody in the remains of Efrutiva Jail. In Efrutiva Jail Cabin Efrutiva and CostuMan were talking. Here is their dialogue: Efrutiva: Ben has been revived. He will launch his attack soon. What should we do? CostuMan: Do you think I care? You’re the leader, do what you want! Efrutiva: Well, I’m the leader, so JUST LISTEN!!!!!1!!11!!!11! CostuMan: OK, OK,,,,,,,, I guess we could use nucatomic explosions…. Efrutiva: No. Ben will think of that first. CostuMan: What about LegenGOLDNwcGun? Efrutiva:Um….OK. Let’s get it ready for tommorow. Meanwhile, at Ben and Envo and Eliza’s house… Ben:That was scary! How’s the Efrutiva killing process going along? Envo: Not too well. Eliza, what rare gun should we use? Eliza:Let’s use the LegenGOLDNwcGun. Envo: Ok. Let’s get it fired up. Chapter 5 The next day……. Ben and Envo and Eliza and Efrutiva and CostuMan got up. Ben decided to use his SpyCamera on Efrutiva. She was bombing some Anti-Efrutiva buildings. Ben decided to use TimeAlter to make the day last 9001 hours, before they had to do the ultimate duel with Efrutiva at night. Ben went to work. He now developed games for the VGHC-Now with Functionality! Ben used the Bad-Game-Making-Machine to make a game in which you had to eat meat while breaking the controller while punching your head. Ben made it, and it became the best selling video game-like piece of badly made art of all time. Why did it become best-selling? Because Ben bought out every copy as he shipped it out to stores. Then Ben recalled every game to himself, so he got $9,284,792,873,498,249,823,749,823,749,823,749,827,349,873,956,348,756,837,465,873,465,783,468,753,648,756,384,756,837,456,873,468,573,465,873,465,736,957,367,563,985,739,653,765.87 and became the richest person in the world. Ben decided to call Efrutiva. He found a scary voice saying: “MUAHAHA YOU HAVE REACHED EFRUTIVA THIS IS A POINT OF NO RETURN MUAHHAH AHAHA HAHA”. Ben hung up. He took out his old NES and played SuperNEDStAr WeIrd CaPiTaLS EdItIoN. It was the worst game he had ever played. It was so bad he decided to mail it and his NES to Efrutiva marked: Best Video Game Ever. Meanwhile, at Efrutiva’s place: Efrutiva: “Look!!!!! We just got a NES and the best video game ever in the mail!111 Let’s play!!!!!” Efrutiva hooked up the NES to her TV. Her TV exploded, causing the collapse of Efrutiva HQ. Efrutiva decided to fly to Africa so Elephant Brano could eat her. Ben had also decided to go to Africa, and Ben and Efrutiva met up on the Train for Evil. Efrutiva, seeing this as a chance to fight, was about to fire her LegenGOLDNwcGun, but she wanted to keep the elephant alive. Instead, she sent a computer virus to Ben’s laptop, that automatically erases everything and replaces it with a picture of Efrutiva and CostuMan and her other minions posing. Ben became so angry he fired nucatomic bombs at Efrutiva and Elephant Brano. Elephant Brano died, but Efrutiva and Ben (and Envo and Eliza) escaped in time. Ben was playing his Nintendo World Championships Gold cartrige on his replacement NES, when EfruRobbers came to steal it. Ben and Envo and Eliza quickly fought them off, because they had faced many in EfruHell. Ben started playing Duck Hunt, but his NES Zapper gun exploded in sparks. Ben ran to the Old Video Game Repair Shop, and got his NES Zapper Gun fixed. However, the gun was still faulty, and made Ben’s house explode. Ben saw Pickles, almost dead, on the floor crying. Ben kicked Pickles into a grave. Ben went home and looked through all the retro consoles he had. He decided to play the Nintendo 3DS. Ben went on BenTube and watched stupid cat videos that made him laugh so hard he went to the hospital for 0000000.1 miliseconds. Ben eventually played VGHC Portable. He played the Sword of Idiots game. He had so much fun he danced until everybody was annoyed and kicked Ben into the trash can. The trash can started growing, however. It grew and grew until it was a beast that looked like this: The can went out of control, and Efrutiva came out and took Ben away. Thankfully, Envo had the LegenGOLDNwcGun. Envo went to Anti-Efrutiva HQ and bombed the EfrutivAUFOs. Ben took his Presidential Card and became president of the Anti-Efrutiva Buisness, and made every employee be on the watch for Efrutiva. Efrutiva came out and said:”May…………….you……………………………………………….. be………… dead…….” and Efrutiva sent out her minions. She ordered one of them to use Nucatom Explosion. It blew Ben out of Efrutiva’s hands. It also blew Efrutiva and her minions, and Envo and Eliza away….. to the moon. Here’s some dialouge from the moon, dated Janurary 10101, 9999. Efrutiva: “Wait…I feel cold…………….. What is this place….. Why is it so bland….. Why is the sky dark………” In another portion of the moon, at the same time…. Ben: “Where are my friends… Where is Efrutiva… Help!!!11” Ben got up and looked around. He went towards the right until he saw Envo. They saw Eliza stuck in a crater just then, and they helped her out. They eventually saw CostuMan and Efrutiva. Ben was a magician, so he said some magic words to make a spaceship appear so he could go to the Anti-Efrutiva Universe. Ben went there, and set up a trap that would kill Efrutiva if she entered the portal. Ben went to the Anti Efrutiva Earth, and went to the AEUS (Anti Efrutiva United States.) Ben went to the City of Anti Efrutiva, and ordered a Efrutiva Gem for his LegenGOLDNwcGun. This allowed Ben to kill Efrutiva in one hit. Meanwhile, in the Anti-Ben universe………………….. Efrutiva: “Look! It’s new!!! It’s now!!!! It’s the Anti-Ben Gem for the LegenGOLDNwcGun! Let’s buy it!” *hands over 9001k* *hands over 1k* Efrutiva had, however, trouble installing it and gave up, but Ben easily installed his gem. Chapter 6 Ben flew back to Earth, and Efrutiva did aswell. Ben’s spaceship crashed, and landed right on Efrutiva HQ just as Efrutiva was arriving. This caused the collapse of Efrutiva HQ and the death of Efrutiva. Ben and Envo and Eliza threw a party to celebrate the death of Efrutiva, but in the middle of the party, Efrutiva woke up as a zombie, with even more power (and control over her minions) than before. Ben decided to use PeaceWarp to warp to the Land of Peace for awhile, until he was ready to fight. Reluctantly, Envo and Eliza came with Ben to the Land of Peace aswell. They saw, however, that Efrutiva had cloned herself in all time periods and universes before she had turned into a zombie. Milions of Efrutiva clones surrounded Ben and Envo and Eliza. Ben and Envo and Eliza decided to fight them off, and they sucseeded. However, more came just then, much to Ben and Envo and Eliza’s dismay. Ben and Envo and Eliza kept fighting them off until the Land of Peace collapsed. Ben said: “Let’s go back home.” Envo and Eliza agreed, and they went home and were about to play NES, when they remembered that they were the demons of time. They decided to go to the Demons do What Efrutivan’t center. They Heard some very familiar music there. Here are the lyrics: “I'M EFRUTIVA BOP DE DODODODO... I'M THE SUBLIMINAL DOO DOOOOOOO...” Ben almost passed out. Don’t remember that music? That was the “subliminal message” music from the creepypasta game in Darkendsville. (It was also in the regular game, but subliminal in the creepypasta bootleg version of the game.) Anyway, the next thing Ben and Envo and Eliza heard was constant chanting of “Demons do….. what Efrutivan’t!” It got chanted so much and so much louder that the whole center exploded. Ben and Envo and Eliza were the only survivors. They found nothing but charred sticks and bloody, collapsed bodies in the remains of the “Demons Do What Efrutivan’t Center.” Ben and Envo and Eliza decided to start a alternative Anti-Efrutiva HQ, disguised as a “We Love Efrutiva Please Come Efrutiva Center,” but really contained poisons that would kill Efrutiva if she came in. Efrutiva came in, but with zombie power she could not be defeated without a legendary gun like the LegenGOLDNwcGun that Ben and Efrutiva had. With zombie power, Efrutiva said: “You…. may……take….. a….. short… break… from… worrying.. but…. in ….. a while… we must battle”. Ben and Envo and Eliza decided to go home. They played NES until they decided to play SNES. They played every retro console they had. Eventually they were bored and they went to a center to program Windows 99798759.749647486846 computers. (Computers with that OS use the Z programming language (parody of C) ). Ben could not figure out Z. He was faced with a project where he had to write a specific program. Ben did not know that the code was: #include int main(void) { puts("Hello world!"); } Note: That’s the real 32bit (does not work on 64bit computers) code in C for Hello World! If you have a 32bit computer, copy and paste into Notepad, save as all files and put .exe in the name, and run it and TADA! Anyway, Ben tried many things. He asked to go into the Benscr display dialog “This is real Applescr Ben went into the Web Developement room and started writing things in Javascr prompt(“Is Ben cool?”) and console.log(“Ben is cool”). Note: Again, that’s real Javascr Anyway, those are the only programming languages I know, so I’m going to continue with the story now. Ben said he had had enough of the classes (as much as I’ve had enough with those programming languages!) and said he would be back….. in 9001 milineum. (never). Ben decided to use the skill he learned (don’t tell me I have to write more Applescr on his Ma1337c. However, the Mac was so 1337 it did not want to boot up in front of a loser like Ben. Ben decided to join the Become Cool club to become cool. On his first Becoming Cool lesson, Ben was forced to go fly through the air and scream “I’M 1337 AND I’M REALLY RAD! THOSE CREATURES FROM GANON, ARE PRETTY BAD!!” and so on (I love old Nintendo commercials!!) and Ben became cool and his computer booted up. His computer had Windows XPPAZ on it. The startup screen read: “XPPAZ, EFRUTIVAAZZZZZZZZ!!!!! GET THE JAZZZ!!!!” and it booted up. Ben, however, saw his computer was running slow, so he took it to the computer repair shop. They said :”WE ARE EFRUTIVA WE DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR CHEAP $9001 DOLLAR COMPUTER YOU LOSER YOU’LL BE SEEING MASTER EFRUTIVA SHE CAN TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU. MUAHAHAHA YOUR WORLD IS OURS NOW” and called for Efrutiva. She came and ate Ben. Ben was now in Alternate Universe E (for Efrutiva) where he was in Darkendsville. Ben heard the music and ran to the Ghost Hotel, because he had been brainwashed. In the Ghost Hotel he saw ghosts filling his eyes randomly, which caused him to almost fall unconsious. Envo and Eliza had also been brainwashed, and they both were ghosts in the Ghost Hotel. Ben had also just been turned from a brainwashed boy to a ghost. “With everybody brainwashed, what to do?” thought a boy in Brainwashington. He was a true and loyal fan of Envo and Eliza and Ben but a EFRUTIVA HATER!!! (see below) Yes, and his whole life was dedicated to preserving Ben and killing Efrutiva. In fact, his mother and father were the gods of Anti Efrutiva. He was born by a magic spell to live on the tradition of killing Efrutiva. However, it was the Old Efrutiva he was born to kill. This is the New Efrutiva, who came after many other Efrutivas like Super Efrutiva, etc. They were all killled by that boy. All people with the name Efrutiva would forever be evil. However, this time, the boy did not want to do it all alone. He decided to un-brainwash Envo and Eliza and Ben, and join the group to help, but not do it all alone, so Ben would get most of the credit. He went to Efrutivanoonspades, (the state where Envo and Eliza and Efrutiva and Ben were trapped) and went to the capital city “NINEM IS THE DESERT TOWN OR CITY.” He saw everything was Efrutiva. However this Efrutiva would be much harder for him to kill then the other Efrutivas. Why? Because it had……….. had…………. had……… CLONING!! He would have to kill off each and every clone. To do that, he used the LegenCLONENwcGun. It was a gun specified for fighting Efrutiva clones. He used it with so much force it exploded. Suddenly, the battle had begun. It was the ultimate Battle Arena of life and Efrutiva. *Cue Pokémon battle music here* Here’s the story: •Ben used LegenGOLDNwcGun! •It’s super effective! •Come back, Efrutiva! •Go, Zombie EXTRAPOWER Efrutiva! •Ben gave up! They decided they would battle later. In the meanwhile, they decided to power up. Chapter 7 Ben and Envo and Eliza decided to go home, while Efrutiva and CostuMan and her other minions decided to eat fish. Little did they know, they were eating their own fish! It was a trap by Ben! Now you’re probably thinking: “What??? It’s just a fish!!” Well, Efrutiva’s fish is where she gets all her power, and when she eats it, she loses tons of power. The power went to Ben, as Ben had set up a sneaky Power Network to transport the power to him. Now that Ben was strong and Efrutiva was weak, Efrutiva would be no match for Ben. (Remember, Efrutiva’s minions and CostuMan can’t survive without Efrutiva). Now that CostuMan and the ghosts and the knights and all those other 9001 minions I can’t list here are gone, Ben decided: “It’s time to fight. Now we must take the ultimate journey to the Arena of Efrutiva.” Ben decided to go visit his mother, whom lives in Pallzets Town, first. Ben took Racicargeturboquasinalia Air to Aliger Town, as that was the closest place with an airport and rental car so Ben and Envo and Eliza could drive to Pallzets Town. Ben went to Palllzets Town. It only had three houses: Ben’s mother’s house, Sumchuck’s house, and NK JK’s house (What does NK JK mean? I don’t know I just had to think of a weird name). Ben decided to visit Sumchuck first. His house was littered with Sumchuck statues. Ben asked for tips on killing Efrutiva. Sumchuck said: “What’s that there? The LegenGOLDNwcGun? Efrutiva has one! Would you like to know a secret only 5 people know, from long ago? When the bullets of two LegenGOLDNwcGuns collide, the opponent (Efrutiva in this case) will be sealed away forever and will be dead forever. Even a zombie would faint! So I hope Efrutiva has no SpyCamera, because last time I checked with mine, she didn’t!” Ben was happy to hear about that ancient secret. He went to NK JK’s house and said: “I’m on the run, because I want to visit my mother, but can you verify the ultimate secret of Efrutiva, the least known secret of all time, the least known secret of mankind?” NK JK replied:” Yes, it’s true. You mean the LegenGOLDNwcGun collision one? Yes, that’s true.” Ben said he would come again after the Efrutiva War. He went to his mother’s house. He asked if there were any things he could help with. His mother said:”Well at least get Efrutiva, and let Envo and Eliza help aswell. Oh, where are they? Oh, I see, they are behind you. Bye!” Ben and Envo and Eliza decided to go to the famous Aliger Restaurant of Aliger Town to eat, as the trio was very hungry after talking to three people, and settting a (food-related!) trap on Efrutiva. They ate Hero Special, which was a special reserved for heros. (What a weird restaurant!) It had Ben’s favourite food (sausage bagels with smoked salad!) and bacon and life and the planet. Ben liked it so much he said so many “thank you for the delicious food!”s to the chef that he was kicked out, and could not enter again until Efrutiva was dead. “It’s time to get to the arena” said Ben. Ben went to Arena Airport to take Efruavgnevil Air to Arena Town. On the plane…. Ben was taken away to the hospital, where he was infected with Scorch Dieease. He was cured, and he went to the CCFEP (Consultation Center for Eating Pigs) where he ate pigs, as that was the only true cure for his dieease. The pigs gave Ben a Break Gem, which was a gem that gave Ben a break from his adventures. Ben decided to use it to go to Hero Paradise. It was a beautiful place, where Ben bought several bullets for his LegenGOLDNwcGun. He tested some of the finest bullets in the world that would cost $9001 normally, but due to the fact that he was a true hero and used legendary tactics, he was given it for free. No tax (it’s Hero Paradise!) no nothing. Just the bullet, and it was free. Ben was so overjoyed that he decided to buy some other guns to up his power. He bought many, as it was a 1-Cent store. Ben eventually decided to rest from shopping. He went to Hero’s Hotel and bought a Deluxe-Class room for only $1. He got room number 1337. It had: •Everything Ben would ever want Take-home service so he could take it all home and everything else good in the world. Ben decided: “It’s time to fight…” Chapter 8 Ben decided to go to Skymark (a resort for arranging ultimate duels for heros) and registered the ultimate duel with Efrutiva. Skymark promised that he would get some time at the resort afterwards if he was sucsessful at defeating Efrutiva. Ben went off on his way to the arena. On the way, in Africa, Elephant Tano decided to come help Ben and Envo and Eliza, but Tano left off when the sea journey was making him sick. Now you’re thinking: “In the middle of the sea, how could he get out of the sea?” Well, Elephant Tano is a magical elephant and can teleport anywhere he wants. Ben and Envo and Eliza were left to find the arena on their own, so they asked Heroville for tips. They said: “Just use this APS (Arena Positioning System) to find Efrutiva Arena, Arenaville, AV, Arena. Ben went into the bundled car and punched that address into the APS, and it took him to the parking lot of Efrutiva Arena. Ben got Envo and Eliza ready to defend (as Ben was fighting) and prepared his LegenGOLDNwcGun, and went down to earth to fight. Ben faced off with Efrutiva in the ultimate duel. It started out bland…. Ben used Attack! Ben used Attack! But then, Ben took out…. he took out…. the LegenGOLDNwcGun! Efrutiva also took out hers, and didn’t see that Ben had one. Ben and Efrutiva fired at the same time. Now let’s pause the story for a minute and have a flashback. “What’s that there? The LegenGOLDNwcGun? Efrutiva has one! Would you like to know a secret only 5 people know, from long ago? When the bullets of two LegenGOLDNwcGuns collide, the opponent (Efrutiva in this case) will be sealed away forever and will be dead forever. Even a zombie would faint! So I hope Efrutiva has no SpyCamera, because last time I checked with mine, she didn’t!” Ben remembered. Ben was like “W00T!” and shot just as Efrutiva did. Efrutiva’s last words before dying were: “Oh no…… Ben knew….. My life….. done…….. This isn’t the last of me…!” and she exploded in a light flash, and sparkled away into the ground. Her LegenGOLDNwcGun did the same, and so did the bullets of the LegenGOLDNwcGun. All gone. Everything. Efrutiva HQ collapsed and was sold to Ben as a new home, and the seller repaired it. Ben had a wonderful time, flew Mato Air to Mato Asia, and vacationed in the newly opened Ben Hotel. He had a wonderful day in the hotel, and went to Heroland, where he was celebrated forever, and he became the richest and most famous person in the world, also thanks to Skymark. But would this peace be forever? ………. It was a beautiful day. Ben was very bored. He decided to go on the Internet. He was just browsing, when he saw an ad that interested him. It read, "Cheap flights to Mato Asia for less than $1." He had read about Mato Asia in books, and he knew it was a nice place to visit. Since Ben did not have much money, this ad was ideal. He notified his sister Eliza and his brother Envo, and they said they would come along to see what it would be like. When Ben went to tell his other sister Efrutiva; however, something terrible happened. Efrutiva screamed in her room "Mato Asia is owned by me and I will never let anyone in!" Now you may be thinking, "Well, it's just a scream. What's so bad about that?" Well, Efrutiva's screams are louder than a roaring lion. They burn your ears. So Ben ran downstairs and outside. He went to the Complaint Center. He put in a complaint reading, "My sister Efrutiva is lying that she owns Mato Asia so I can't go." Just then, an employee came up and read Ben's complaint. He said to Ben: "Kill Efrutiva.". Those were his only words, then he walked off. Ben went back home. He read a book on kiling people. He went into Efrutiva's room and no one was there, so he used his Spy-Camera to spy on Efrutiva. He saw Efrutiva on a flight to Mato Asia, unpacking her Trap-Fast tablets. Ben ran downstairs. He notified Envo and Eliza. They said: “We figured she would make a trap. We made Anti-Trap tablets to help.” They decided that they would wait a while to go to Mato Asia, because the tablets contained magic that would take several days to settle. Ben went outside with no explanation. He ran to a restaurant and ordered Envoburgers for Envo, because he looked hungry at home. He went home with the Envoburgers. On the way, he saw his old friend Pickles. Now you are probably thinking: “Why is he named Pickles? That’s a weird name.” Well, he likes pickles a lot. He ate all the pickles at Ben’s Pickle Corner (a pickle resturant) and made the whole city short of pickles one day. Anyway, Pickles said: “Hey , Mr.Ben. You know how much I love pickles? Well, could you please go to the store and get me a jar or two? Anyway, bye.” Ben agreed, and walked out to Ben’s Shopping Suite (yes, Ben is famous) and bought him two jars of Envo’s Pickles. He went to pay for the pickles. Since he was the owner of the store, he got them for free. He ran to Pickles’s house and went inside. He decided to stay and chat. Pickles’s house was very dark. He sat on the rugged couch. Ben asked: “What’s new?” Pickles said that his mother died yesterday. Ben was astonished. He knew his mother, and she was in good health before. Ben asked: “Why did she die?” Pickles answered: “She went to the zoo and got bitten by a loose snake. She died before the hospital staff could come.” Ben said: “Well, that’s sad. Anyway, I’d better be going.” Ben ran to his office. (Ben works for a company that makes toilet paper.) He was the founder. He went into room 9001 (his office) and took out the Book of Life. He read some of the measures for having a better life. Eventually Ben became bored, so he put a request to Toilet Paper (the employee of the month) to make 1337 rolls of toilet paper. Ben went to the library and read some books. Ben eventually went all around town doing everything imaginable. He went back home and got his car. He drove to the next town and started doing “stuff” there too. He decided to go home. However, he was very tired, so he took a nap. He was awakened by a scream. People were screaming “OVER 9000!” Ben was very confused. He went outside, and so did Eliza and Envo. (Remember, Efrutiva is now in Mato Asia.) The boys (and one girl) saw a squad of knights. They were the Over 9000 club knights. Ben and Envo and Eliza remembered they came once a year to see who liked Over 9000. In a flash the knights were gone, and Ben went back to sleep, because he only managed to sleep for 00000000000.1 miliseconds. Chapter 2 When Ben woke up, he decided to go join Over 9000. He took a bus to the Over 9000 Club base, and he paid $13,379,001.00 Since the cashiers were very dumb, they gave Ben his money back and let him in anyway. He went to the Newbie room, and took the Over 9000 scream tutorial. He screamed loud and wide: “OVER 9000 RULES, OVER 9000 IS THE BEST! OVER 9000 IS 9001, AND THAT IS THE BEST.” He went to the Club Area, and started dancing and singing. He then saw a blue bus pull up in the reserved driveway, and over 9000 people came out. They all came in the window and a door appeared out of nowhere. All the knights and people (and Ben) went in. Beyond that door was a dark, cold hallway with an old-looking door at the end. Suddently, everybody but Ben disappeared and Ben fell through the floor. Ben found himself in a cold, wet hallway. Ben saw a treasure chest marked “It’s over 9000!” Ben opened it and found over 9000 pieces of gold. Ben saw a door marked “Escape Route”. Ben entered it. All of a sudden, Ben appeared in front of the clubhouse. Scared and confused, Ben went back home, only to see that he was stuck in an alternate universe.(When Ben went through the door, he went into the alternate universe.) His house was haunted, and Envo and Eliza were ghosts. Ben went to his office. He saw his office was now a tall factory that was haunted by slime. He went into his office and saw ghosts. Ben was very scared. His biggest fear was ghosts. He ran to Pickles’s house. He saw Pickles was gone, and his mother was haunting the house. Ben sat on the couch and looked in front of himself. He saw a figure in black and white. It was…..Pickles. The ghost Pickles roared to scare Ben off. He succeded. Ben ran off and saw that outside the sky was black. He ran to where the Over 9000 club was (the place he had gotten into this universe from) and saw it was now……gone. Ben thought: “I must find a way out of this spooky universe.” All of a sudden, Ben saw a door locked to the floor that was marked Escape Route. Ben went through the door and found himself in a garden at night. Ben saw that it was like his garden at home, but the town around him was empty and his door and window were locked. He decided to run into the distance. He saw the Over 9000 club like it was before he came into this weird universe. He ran past it and towards his hometown. He saw…….home., just as it was before, all nice and neat. He went to his house and explained to Envo and Eliza why he was so late. They said they would have nightmares. The next morning, Envo and Eliza complained to Ben because the story gave them nightmares. Envo reported: “It was a huge….slime….ghost in the tower with graves.” Eliza reported “It was a town…yes…a town…nothing more said.” Envo and Eliza went to their portable jail and arrested Ben. Ben apologized. They let him out of jail. Envo and Ben went to the local arcade to play videogames. Eliza, however, stayed at home and read a book. Envo and Ben played a game called “SuperStar” You would control a master guy and your friend (2nd player) would control a servant guy. You had to beat up the servant. Envo became very tired, so they went home. Ben had some math homework to do. His first problem was: “1797427498739795693475 times 68658734658746857634856387456874658?” Ben almost threw up. He ran to Master Calculator's house and showed him the problem. Master Calculator exploded in a nuclear explosion. Ben, Envo and Eliza took their stuff and ran for their lives. All of a sudden, they found themselves in a city named Darkendville. (Weird name huh?) They saw that all their friends had found themselves in Darkendville aswell.Suddently, Ben noticed things were disappearing. Buildings were vanishing, and everybody but Ben and Envo and Eliza disappeared. Suddenly, a void appeared. It sucked in Ben and Envo and Eliza. They found themselves at a weird castle, that was black colored. Twoweird computers appeared, and they started analyzing Ben and Envo and Eliza. They said: “ERROR. PRESS ANY KEY TO RESTART. ELIZA AND ENVO AND BEN,WHO ARE THE DEMONS OF TIME, HAVE BEEN DETECTED!!!!!!1111 INTRUDER ALERT. INTRUDER ALERT.” Ben said: Wow!!!!111!!111!!! The demons of time? Suddently, a large fish appeared. He ate the castle and said: “Hello mystic beings of darkness. I have come to alert you that you have recently violated two Universe Portals laws:A. Entering Alternate Universe G (for ghosts) and B. Putting an impossible calculation into my cousin. You have 2 choices. A. Go to jail or B. Go back to the alternate universe G and complete a task for me.” Ben said: “What's the task?” Chapter 3 The fish said: “Spend a week in my Ghost Hotel and surviiiiiivvvvveeeeeee!!!!!!” Suddently, Ben and Envo and Eliza appeared outside the alternate universe version of Ben's workplace. Ben saw a label he never saw before. It read: “Ghost Hotel. Suuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrvvvvvvvvvvvviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiivvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeee!” They all went in. It seemed like a normal, non-haunted hotel at first, until they were climbing up the stairs to their room. Ben said: “Did you see that ghost?” Indeed, it was a ghost. The lights turned off and the windows closed. They ran upstairs, but the ghost followed them. Ben, Envo and Eliza jumped out the window, only to be pulled into a void. They found themselves in their own home universe, peaceful and okay. Ben sighed in relief. He went home, but guess who was waiting there? That's right! It was..... the evil fish. He said: “MUAHAHAHAH!! YOU DARE NOT OBEY MY ORDER???????? THAN YOU SHALL DIE!!!!!” And so the battle began. The battle between the two raged, and raged, until the fish exploded in a nuclear explosion. Guess who was inside the fish? That's right! It was.............EFRUTIVA! Yes, you didn't slip up reading. She said: “MUAHAHAH! THAT WAS MY TRICK!!!!11!!1111!” She said that she rented a fish costume from CostuMan. Ben said: “CostuMan??? He's the guy that...that... was the cashier at Ghost Hotel..” Suddently, Efrutiva said: “FIRE!” Many employees of Ghost Hotel (including the ghost they saw) came out and fired super-guns at Ben and Envo and Eliza. Ben and Envo and Eliza all ran towards the Over 9000 club. Ben had a flashback to the blue bus at Over 9000. He was watching the flashback video (recorded on the Flashback Center on his EyeCamera) and saw Efrutiva come out of the bus. Ben looked up at the Over 9000 clubhouse. It was deserted. Inside, it was all run down. Ben went in the direction of Darkendsville. He saw it was also run down. Suddently, Ben saw Efrutiva on one of the run down skyscrapers. She said: “Hey! Darkendsville was my idea for a trap!” Ben opened his closed eyes and nearly exploded in suprise. Ben took out a gun from his backpack and fired lasers at Efrutiva. Efrutiva suddently disappeared into a void. Everything in Darkendsville collapsed. Ben ran back to the remains of his hometown, and saw Pickles, highly injured, lying in the remains. Pickles said: “I'm..... dying.....save.......me.....by.....getting.....me.....some.....pickles......” and fainted. Ben and Envo and Eliza walked over to the remains of their house. It had collapsed in the explosion. Ben saw his bed was the only thing intact. Suddenly, he and Envo and Eliza were sucked into the bed. They saw lots of light coming from nowhere. They saw a monster ahead of them. They ran, but the monster exploded revealing....... you know who..... Efrutiva! Efrutiva said: “You'll....never....get....AWAY! DIE!” Many ghosts came out and ate Ben and Envo and Eliza. Ben and Envo and Eliza found themselves inside the ghosts. They saw the GOG (Gem of Ghosting) and picked it up. They all morphed into spooky ghosts and said: “ALL HAIL EFRUTIVA!!1!!11111!!11!!111!” They all ran away and jumped out of the ghost's mouth and hugged Efrutiva. Efrutiva whispered: “YES! YES! I DID IT!!!!!111 WOOT!!!! I'M 1337!!!!11!1!!!” Efrutiva ordered Ben and Envo and Eliza to go and round up some people around the world for “ghosting”, as Efrutiva called it. They agreed and took Efrutiva Airlines to Antarctica, where they captured some scientists and took them back to the Ghosting Center to ghost them. By screaming “EFRUTIVA= 1337”, anyghost (yes that's one word) could ghost somebody, making them a ghost and brainwashing them to work for Efrutiva. The GOG was an artifact left inside ghosts after ghosting, and it also had the power to ghost someone. Ben and Envo and Eliza were given a temporary ghost, for 1010101010101010101010010101001010101 milleniums. They suddenly appeared in front of their hometown, and they noticed they were no longer ghosts. They took out the Revival Spray to revive the town. Ben noticed something strange on the package. It read:”GET REVIVE-SPRAY TO REVIVE THE ZOMETOWNS” (grammar and spelling and caps intentional) Ben sprayed the Revive-spray around the room, but the only thing that happened was that Efrutiva came up and said: “MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH! YOU DARE USE MY SPRAY???//???/////??////??? THEN YOU SHALL DIEEEEEEEEE!!1!!1111111!!111!111!!” Efrutiva summoned her minions to attack. Ben and Envo and Eliza were captured and taken to the Tower of Efrutiva, (previously the Ghost Hotel) and they were (almost) eaten by ghosts. One day of suffering, Ben saw a door labled Escape Route, and told Envo and Eliza. They (oviously) went through the escape route, and saw time restored. They thought: That Efrutiva.....shall DIEEEEEEEEE! Ben said: Let's go to Anon Arcade first, because I want to play SuperStar. Ben and Envo and Eliza went to Anon Arcade and played, and played, and played, and played (repeat x9001). Eventually, they were tired and they went home. Ben went online and made a website at www.mariorulesandmorestuff.webs.comwww.mariorulesandmorestuff.webs.comwww.mariorulesandmorestuff.webs.comwww.mariorulesandmorestuff.webs.com (Go there... ) He realized just then that the web hosting he used was..... Efrutiva's Evil Ghostly Web Hosting. Efrutiva popped out of his ancient Windows 9 (remember, this takes place in 9999) computer, and started mocking Ben. They had a battle to the death, and Efrutiva gave up and warped herself away. Ben decided to go play his VGHC (V=Video G=Games H=Home C=Console) and he put the SuperStar 793847297348736487536485763487568374658736485 Home Edition disk in it. He started playing on Save File 9001. He was on level -0Mb-8Yz4G (you get 2 points if you understood any of that) which was the Haunted Level. Ben was happily playing, when he noticed something out of the ordinary. The level map was shaped like the Ghost Hotel's top floor. Suddenly, CostuMan jumped out of the screen and said: “I HAUNTED YOUR GAME! EFRUTIVA!!!!!! I HACKED THE VGHC AND GOT TO BEN!!!1!!!!111111111! I'M 1337!111111111!!11111!1!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!1111!!!11111!!11!!!1!1!111!!!11111!!1!!! Ben looked up at the screen and saw an 123456789-bit sprite of the ghost hotel ghost. The ghost said: “You shall..dieee!!1” and exploded. Ben went to his computer. It had 1 mhz, so he had to wait 1010101010010111101001010101001100 hours to boot it up. Ben went to www.goggle.com in an attempt to search the web. Many popups popped up, and Ben's computer was destroyed. Ben said: “I have to buy a new computer then. Let's go to CompuShop.” Ben used $9001 (in today's dollars $00000000000.1) to buy a computer. It turned out to be a ripoff, running Windows 95. Ben installed the “Upgrade-Your-Computer-to-Windows-999999999-Set.” It turned out to be a virus. A popup came up on his computer screen that said:”I GAVE YOU THE EFRUTIVA VIRUS SIGNED EFRUTIVA 5.......4.......3.............2..........1..........”. And so, Ben called 91191991999111 (the emergency number in 9999) and heard nothing but rabid pigs crying. Ben ran outside and was so fed up, he ran to the I'm 1337 club (formerly Over 9000) and called to the 1337 1337ers. They gave him nothing but some diamonds marked “MAGICAL SECRET TO NOBODY”. Ben opened up a diamond and found a sweet chocolate, but decided not to eat it because he saw “SHIPPED FROM EFRUTIVALAND” and it also said “MADE BY EFRUTIVA SWEETS”. Ben threw them in the garbage. Suddenly, Ben saw everything was Efrutiva! He picked up some more sweets, but they all said the same thing. All toys were branded “EFRUTIVA ENTERPRIZES” and all food was “APPROVED BY EFRUTIVA” and all computers were branded “ACCEPTED BY EFRUTIVA HERSELF”. Ben even saw his house was “PARTLY OWNED BY EFRUTIVA HOUSING” and all websites were “MODERATED BY EFRUTIVA” and “HOSTED BY EFRUTIVA HOSTING”. Ben escaped quickly into a nearby cave. He saw blue walls all around him, and 100000 Efrutiva clones. Ben took his Mecha-Calcu and calculated 98753987589357759875983745943857 + 7686887687687687687686876876876 x 987979879867879797976576576. Ben decided to call Pickles on his cellphone, but as the lines had been destroyed in the nucatom explosion, it led to some lady saying:"You have reached Efrutiva-" Ben disconnected. Everything was Efrutiva. Ben decided to stop Efrutiva forever, and he warped to the Anti-Efrutiva Center in Pato Asia.He set up a meeting with Anti Efrutiva, the CEO, and Ben talked with him about everything Efrutiva. They decided to have nuclear war against Efrutiva, so they set up the most powerful kind of nuclear bomb.... the nucatom bomb! They put it on top of Efrutiva HQ in Zato Asia, but the HQ warped to Kato Asia. The same thing happened again, and again (repeat x9001), then Efrutiva shut down the HQ and Ben and Anti, the CEO of Anti-Efrutiva Center, decided to try again tommorow. Ben decided to play more SuperStar, (yes, he's addicted) but his VGHC exploded nucatommically, and Ben died, and he went to EfruHell, where he did the following unfun things: •Ate nuclear toast Played a HellGHC Drank electrical blood Used a Windows 05 computer in a attempt to acsess the Internet, but failed as the proccessor was 1Hz Bathed in lava Owned a cellphone that was man-eating Was forced to wear a mud suit Chapter 4 Ben saw a door labled Escape Route, and he went through it, but Ben got trapped in the remains of Pickles's house!. Ben slunk his way out, and explored the exploded town. He saw: •His office was a couple charred sticks. Ben's house was some planks of wood, but it had collapsed. Pickles's house was ruined inside and outside. Here's what the rooms looked like: Living room: Couch ripped, room collapsing. Bathroom: Completely in the ground and collapsed. Bedroom: Bed in pieces, room itself pretty much underground. Upstairs: Ben coulden't look because the stairs had collapsed. Pickles, or even his body, was nowhere to be found. Suddenly, the town revived itself. Pickles came up and said:”Town's revived itself, hm?” Ben ran to his house. He called to Envo:”Let's play some VGHC!”. Envo came down and played SuperStar 829473985736847563746587365836578368756385634853685763947364578364583765873658734657836458736857368756877897898248726492798410179470847823749264 Home Edition for VGHC, also in GAGAGAGGAGAGAAGGAGAGGA Video Games CATridge format. Ben went to the video game store and bought the SuperStar's Land game that just came out. Ben played it, and found that it was a bootleg copy, that didn't work. Ben complained to the store manager, as he had paid $372,949,238,749,827,958,927,502,509,385,038,049 for a cheap bootleg. The store manager said: “Have fun with no money!” and stormed off. Ben ordered a VGHC PO (portable) from www.mariorulesandmorestuff.webs.com . It came 7 miliseconds later, and it came with SuperStar Land 6 Portable and Rouno's Place 5. They were both fighting games. Ben had never heard of Rouno's Place before, so he played it first. Here's the level list. •Level 1-Efrutiva's Level Level 2- Efrutiva's Level Level 3- ^^ Ben ordered another VGHC PO game, called “The Adventures Of Some Guy.” Ben eventually had enough of the VGHC PO, and ordered the PO2, that came with 1 game, “Efrutiva's Ghost Hotel Bashout, Surviiiiiiiiiiiiiivvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!.” Ben played it, and found that the first town was Darkendsville. Ben walked into the Ghost Hotel, and found the ghost that attacked him, Ma-Ghost. It looked like 3 Za-Ghosts, and 2 Ha-Ghosts. It was the hardest boss ever. When Ben reset the game, he saw the scary sprite of Ma-Ghost, not the title screen. Ben nearly commited suicide, especially because Darkendsville had scary music. The music went like this: I'M EFRUTIVA BOP DE DODODODO... I'M THE SUBLIMINAL DOO DOOOOOOO... Ben fell unconsious. Efrutiva came and laughed suspiciously. Ben woke up in Darkendsville. Ben nearly fell unconsious again when he saw Efrutiva in a UFO. The UFO crashed, and Ben felll through the floor in fright and blow. Ben found himself in an alternate universe, called the Universe F (for fright). Ben found himself in a haunted house. A philosopher came up to him and burned him, and Ben was sent to a hellspital. In the hellspital they tortured Ben, and Ben was eventually healed. Suddenly, one day in Alternate Universe F, Ben saw a friendly alien, that took Ben to a skyscraper in Fruinalesville. The skyscraper was a company head quarters that made cheap video game bootlegs and creeeepppppyyyyyppppaaaasssttttaaassss! They were making “SuperStar Land 9748459573 Bootleg Edition.” It was a creepypasta in which you were in the Ghost Hotel and you had to escape. Ben bought it, and played it on the VGHC Portable, and Ben saw Efrutiva in Level 1, and Efrutiva put Ben under a curse that caused ben to disappear into a portal every few miliseconds. Envo and Eliza heard of the curse, and made a video game to raise money for going to Efrutiva HQ. It was called “Envo and Eliza’s Adventure, Save Ben from Efrutiva and kill Efrutiva!” (long title huh?) It was, however, soon bootlegged by the Fruinalesville team. The bootleg was released massively, which caused massive suicides due to Darkendsville. The bootleg team got rich, and they joined Efrutiva, which caused them to be featured in Envo and Eliza’s still-in-the-works video game. Efrutiva became ruler of the world. Envo decided to warp through time to the future. He saw kids in schools studying the “Efrutivan Dark Ages” and how “Ben” saved the world. Envo was satisfied, and he went back. Efrutiva was busy nuking some cities with nucatom bombs. Envo and Eliza were nearly killed after being invited to a fireworks show in which THEY were the Fireworks. Efrutiva came out of the crowd on the show and picked up a magic gem out of her pocket. Efrutiva turned into Nice Efrutiva, and turned off the fireworks, then she turned into Evil Efrutiva, and took advantage to lie a trap door disguised as a mouthwatering cake. Envo and Eliza fell for it, and found themselves in a basement. A old man said to Envo and Eliza:”To escape you must go into the dark universe that was made long ago and sealed for almost forever until…..never.” Envo and Eliza went towards the door labled Portal. They found themselves in the Dimensional Hole of 100 Trials. Here are the trials they went through: •Trial 1:Eat muffins Trial 2: ^^ and so on…. They eventually reached the end, and saw the sacred Gate To Alternate Universe D (for dark) and they opened it. Unfortunately, Evil Efrutiva was on the other side, and sent Envo and Eliza back to the beginning of the trials, with harder trials then the ones they took previously. The same thing happened to Envo and Eliza, and again, and again,,,,,, (repeat x9001) Envo called the World Help Number at 999 179 32 34 and found some guy on the phone who was having a bad day quite oviously, but bothered to help. He promised he would kill Efrutiva and rescue Ben. He jumped out of the phone and started eating bannanza burgers. He warped to Mato Asia and ate Efrutiva HQ. Efrutiva escaped, but her army were killed and Efrutiva ran to Base 2. The Efrutiva War started. Tons of Efrutiva clones invaded the universe. Efrutiva News Network called it:“the biggest war ever.”, before its station was knocked down by a missle. Efrutiva raced through the universe, killing ants. Efrutiva gave everybody in the world remaining including Ben, who had his curse taken off, an invitation to the remains of Efrutiva HQ. Efrutiva locked everybody in the remains of Efrutiva Jail. In Efrutiva Jail Cabin Efrutiva and CostuMan were talking. Here is their dialogue: Efrutiva: Ben has been revived. He will launch his attack soon. What should we do? CostuMan: Do you think I care? You’re the leader, do what you want! Efrutiva: Well, I’m the leader, so JUST LISTEN!!!!!1!!11!!!11! CostuMan: OK, OK,,,,,,,, I guess we could use nucatomic explosions…. Efrutiva: No. Ben will think of that first. CostuMan: What about LegenGOLDNwcGun? Efrutiva:Um….OK. Let’s get it ready for tommorow. Meanwhile, at Ben and Envo and Eliza’s house… Ben:That was scary! How’s the Efrutiva killing process going along? Envo: Not too well. Eliza, what rare gun should we use? Eliza:Let’s use the LegenGOLDNwcGun. Envo: Ok. Let’s get it fired up. Chapter 5 The next day……. Ben and Envo and Eliza and Efrutiva and CostuMan got up. Ben decided to use his SpyCamera on Efrutiva. She was bombing some Anti-Efrutiva buildings. Ben decided to use TimeAlter to make the day last 9001 hours, before they had to do the ultimate duel with Efrutiva at night. Ben went to work. He now developed games for the VGHC-Now with Functionality! Ben used the Bad-Game-Making-Machine to make a game in which you had to eat meat while breaking the controller while punching your head. Ben made it, and it became the best selling video game-like piece of badly made art of all time. Why did it become best-selling? Because Ben bought out every copy as he shipped it out to stores. Then Ben recalled every game to himself, so he got $9,284,792,873,498,249,823,749,823,749,823,749,827,349,873,956,348,756,837,465,873,465,783,468,753,648,756,384,756,837,456,873,468,573,465,873,465,736,957,367,563,985,739,653,765.87 and became the richest person in the world. Ben decided to call Efrutiva. He found a scary voice saying: “MUAHAHA YOU HAVE REACHED EFRUTIVA THIS IS A POINT OF NO RETURN MUAHHAH AHAHA HAHA”. Ben hung up. He took out his old NES and played SuperNEDStAr WeIrd CaPiTaLS EdItIoN. It was the worst game he had ever played. It was so bad he decided to mail it and his NES to Efrutiva marked: Best Video Game Ever. Meanwhile, at Efrutiva’s place: Efrutiva: “Look!!!!! We just got a NES and the best video game ever in the mail!111 Let’s play!!!!!” Efrutiva hooked up the NES to her TV. Her TV exploded, causing the collapse of Efrutiva HQ. Efrutiva decided to fly to Africa so Elephant Brano could eat her. Ben had also decided to go to Africa, and Ben and Efrutiva met up on the Train for Evil. Efrutiva, seeing this as a chance to fight, was about to fire her LegenGOLDNwcGun, but she wanted to keep the elephant alive. Instead, she sent a computer virus to Ben’s laptop, that automatically erases everything and replaces it with a picture of Efrutiva and CostuMan and her other minions posing. Ben became so angry he fired nucatomic bombs at Efrutiva and Elephant Brano. Elephant Brano died, but Efrutiva and Ben (and Envo and Eliza) escaped in time. Ben was playing his Nintendo World Championships Gold cartrige on his replacement NES, when EfruRobbers came to steal it. Ben and Envo and Eliza quickly fought them off, because they had faced many in EfruHell. Ben started playing Duck Hunt, but his NES Zapper gun exploded in sparks. Ben ran to the Old Video Game Repair Shop, and got his NES Zapper Gun fixed. However, the gun was still faulty, and made Ben’s house explode. Ben saw Pickles, almost dead, on the floor crying. Ben kicked Pickles into a grave. Ben went home and looked through all the retro consoles he had. He decided to play the Nintendo 3DS. Ben went on BenTube and watched stupid cat videos that made him laugh so hard he went to the hospital for 0000000.1 miliseconds. Ben eventually played VGHC Portable. He played the Sword of Idiots game. He had so much fun he danced until everybody was annoyed and kicked Ben into the trash can. The trash can started growing, however. It grew and grew until it was a beast that looked like this: The can went out of control, and Efrutiva came out and took Ben away. Thankfully, Envo had the LegenGOLDNwcGun. Envo went to Anti-Efrutiva HQ and bombed the EfrutivAUFOs. Ben took his Presidential Card and became president of the Anti-Efrutiva Buisness, and made every employee be on the watch for Efrutiva. Efrutiva came out and said:”May…………….you……………………………………………….. be………… dead…….” and Efrutiva sent out her minions. She ordered one of them to use Nucatom Explosion. It blew Ben out of Efrutiva’s hands. It also blew Efrutiva and her minions, and Envo and Eliza away….. to the moon. Here’s some dialouge from the moon, dated Janurary 10101, 9999. Efrutiva: “Wait…I feel cold…………….. What is this place….. Why is it so bland….. Why is the sky dark………” In another portion of the moon, at the same time…. Ben: “Where are my friends… Where is Efrutiva… Help!!!11” Ben got up and looked around. He went towards the right until he saw Envo. They saw Eliza stuck in a crater just then, and they helped her out. They eventually saw CostuMan and Efrutiva. Ben was a magician, so he said some magic words to make a spaceship appear so he could go to the Anti-Efrutiva Universe. Ben went there, and set up a trap that would kill Efrutiva if she entered the portal. Ben went to the Anti Efrutiva Earth, and went to the AEUS (Anti Efrutiva United States.) Ben went to the City of Anti Efrutiva, and ordered a Efrutiva Gem for his LegenGOLDNwcGun. This allowed Ben to kill Efrutiva in one hit. Meanwhile, in the Anti-Ben universe………………….. Efrutiva: “Look! It’s new!!! It’s now!!!! It’s the Anti-Ben Gem for the LegenGOLDNwcGun! Let’s buy it!” *hands over 9001k* *hands over 1k* Efrutiva had, however, trouble installing it and gave up, but Ben easily installed his gem. Chapter 6 Ben flew back to Earth, and Efrutiva did aswell. Ben’s spaceship crashed, and landed right on Efrutiva HQ just as Efrutiva was arriving. This caused the collapse of Efrutiva HQ and the death of Efrutiva. Ben and Envo and Eliza threw a party to celebrate the death of Efrutiva, but in the middle of the party, Efrutiva woke up as a zombie, with even more power (and control over her minions) than before. Ben decided to use PeaceWarp to warp to the Land of Peace for awhile, until he was ready to fight. Reluctantly, Envo and Eliza came with Ben to the Land of Peace aswell. They saw, however, that Efrutiva had cloned herself in all time periods and universes before she had turned into a zombie. Milions of Efrutiva clones surrounded Ben and Envo and Eliza. Ben and Envo and Eliza decided to fight them off, and they sucseeded. However, more came just then, much to Ben and Envo and Eliza’s dismay. Ben and Envo and Eliza kept fighting them off until the Land of Peace collapsed. Ben said: “Let’s go back home.” Envo and Eliza agreed, and they went home and were about to play NES, when they remembered that they were the demons of time. They decided to go to the Demons do What Efrutivan’t center. They Heard some very familiar music there. Here are the lyrics: “I'M EFRUTIVA BOP DE DODODODO... I'M THE SUBLIMINAL DOO DOOOOOOO...” Ben almost passed out. Don’t remember that music? That was the “subliminal message” music from the creepypasta game in Darkendsville. (It was also in the regular game, but subliminal in the creepypasta bootleg version of the game.) Anyway, the next thing Ben and Envo and Eliza heard was constant chanting of “Demons do….. what Efrutivan’t!” It got chanted so much and so much louder that the whole center exploded. Ben and Envo and Eliza were the only survivors. They found nothing but charred sticks and bloody, collapsed bodies in the remains of the “Demons Do What Efrutivan’t Center.” Ben and Envo and Eliza decided to start a alternative Anti-Efrutiva HQ, disguised as a “We Love Efrutiva Please Come Efrutiva Center,” but really contained poisons that would kill Efrutiva if she came in. Efrutiva came in, but with zombie power she could not be defeated without a legendary gun like the LegenGOLDNwcGun that Ben and Efrutiva had. With zombie power, Efrutiva said: “You…. may……take….. a….. short… break… from… worrying.. but…. in ….. a while… we must battle”. Ben and Envo and Eliza decided to go home. They played NES until they decided to play SNES. They played every retro console they had. Eventually they were bored and they went to a center to program Windows 99798759.749647486846 computers. (Computers with that OS use the Z programming language (parody of C) ). Ben could not figure out Z. He was faced with a project where he had to write a specific program. Ben did not know that the code was: #include int main(void) { puts("Hello world!"); } Note: That’s the real 32bit (does not work on 64bit computers) code in C for Hello World! If you have a 32bit computer, copy and paste into Notepad, save as all files and put .exe in the name, and run it and TADA! Anyway, Ben tried many things. He asked to go into the Benscr display dialog “This is real Applescr Ben went into the Web Developement room and started writing things in Javascr prompt(“Is Ben cool?”) and console.log(“Ben is cool”). Note: Again, that’s real Javascr Anyway, those are the only programming languages I know, so I’m going to continue with the story now. Ben said he had had enough of the classes (as much as I’ve had enough with those programming languages!) and said he would be back….. in 9001 milineum. (never). Ben decided to use the skill he learned (don’t tell me I have to write more Applescr on his Ma1337c. However, the Mac was so 1337 it did not want to boot up in front of a loser like Ben. Ben decided to join the Become Cool club to become cool. On his first Becoming Cool lesson, Ben was forced to go fly through the air and scream “I’M 1337 AND I’M REALLY RAD! THOSE CREATURES FROM GANON, ARE PRETTY BAD!!” and so on (I love old Nintendo commercials!!) and Ben became cool and his computer booted up. His computer had Windows XPPAZ on it. The startup screen read: “XPPAZ, EFRUTIVAAZZZZZZZZ!!!!! GET THE JAZZZ!!!!” and it booted up. Ben, however, saw his computer was running slow, so he took it to the computer repair shop. They said :”WE ARE EFRUTIVA WE DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR CHEAP $9001 DOLLAR COMPUTER YOU LOSER YOU’LL BE SEEING MASTER EFRUTIVA SHE CAN TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU. MUAHAHAHA YOUR WORLD IS OURS NOW” and called for Efrutiva. She came and ate Ben. Ben was now in Alternate Universe E (for Efrutiva) where he was in Darkendsville. Ben heard the music and ran to the Ghost Hotel, because he had been brainwashed. In the Ghost Hotel he saw ghosts filling his eyes randomly, which caused him to almost fall unconsious. Envo and Eliza had also been brainwashed, and they both were ghosts in the Ghost Hotel. Ben had also just been turned from a brainwashed boy to a ghost. “With everybody brainwashed, what to do?” thought a boy in Brainwashington. He was a true and loyal fan of Envo and Eliza and Ben but a EFRUTIVA HATER!!! (see below) Yes, and his whole life was dedicated to preserving Ben and killing Efrutiva. In fact, his mother and father were the gods of Anti Efrutiva. He was born by a magic spell to live on the tradition of killing Efrutiva. However, it was the Old Efrutiva he was born to kill. This is the New Efrutiva, who came after many other Efrutivas like Super Efrutiva, etc. They were all killled by that boy. All people with the name Efrutiva would forever be evil. However, this time, the boy did not want to do it all alone. He decided to un-brainwash Envo and Eliza and Ben, and join the group to help, but not do it all alone, so Ben would get most of the credit. He went to Efrutivanoonspades, (the state where Envo and Eliza and Efrutiva and Ben were trapped) and went to the capital city “NINEM IS THE DESERT TOWN OR CITY.” He saw everything was Efrutiva. However this Efrutiva would be much harder for him to kill then the other Efrutivas. Why? Because it had……….. had…………. had……… CLONING!! He would have to kill off each and every clone. To do that, he used the LegenCLONENwcGun. It was a gun specified for fighting Efrutiva clones. He used it with so much force it exploded. Suddenly, the battle had begun. It was the ultimate Battle Arena of life and Efrutiva. *Cue Pokémon battle music here* Here’s the story: •Ben used LegenGOLDNwcGun! •It’s super effective! •Come back, Efrutiva! •Go, Zombie EXTRAPOWER Efrutiva! •Ben gave up! They decided they would battle later. In the meanwhile, they decided to power up. Chapter 7 Ben and Envo and Eliza decided to go home, while Efrutiva and CostuMan and her other minions decided to eat fish. Little did they know, they were eating their own fish! It was a trap by Ben! Now you’re probably thinking: “What??? It’s just a fish!!” Well, Efrutiva’s fish is where she gets all her power, and when she eats it, she loses tons of power. The power went to Ben, as Ben had set up a sneaky Power Network to transport the power to him. Now that Ben was strong and Efrutiva was weak, Efrutiva would be no match for Ben. (Remember, Efrutiva’s minions and CostuMan can’t survive without Efrutiva). Now that CostuMan and the ghosts and the knights and all those other 9001 minions I can’t list here are gone, Ben decided: “It’s time to fight. Now we must take the ultimate journey to the Arena of Efrutiva.” Ben decided to go visit his mother, whom lives in Pallzets Town, first. Ben took Racicargeturboquasinalia Air to Aliger Town, as that was the closest place with an airport and rental car so Ben and Envo and Eliza could drive to Pallzets Town. Ben went to Palllzets Town. It only had three houses: Ben’s mother’s house, Sumchuck’s house, and NK JK’s house (What does NK JK mean? I don’t know I just had to think of a weird name). Ben decided to visit Sumchuck first. His house was littered with Sumchuck statues. Ben asked for tips on killing Efrutiva. Sumchuck said: “What’s that there? The LegenGOLDNwcGun? Efrutiva has one! Would you like to know a secret only 5 people know, from long ago? When the bullets of two LegenGOLDNwcGuns collide, the opponent (Efrutiva in this case) will be sealed away forever and will be dead forever. Even a zombie would faint! So I hope Efrutiva has no SpyCamera, because last time I checked with mine, she didn’t!” Ben was happy to hear about that ancient secret. He went to NK JK’s house and said: “I’m on the run, because I want to visit my mother, but can you verify the ultimate secret of Efrutiva, the least known secret of all time, the least known secret of mankind?” NK JK replied:” Yes, it’s true. You mean the LegenGOLDNwcGun collision one? Yes, that’s true.” Ben said he would come again after the Efrutiva War. He went to his mother’s house. He asked if there were any things he could help with. His mother said:”Well at least get Efrutiva, and let Envo and Eliza help aswell. Oh, where are they? Oh, I see, they are behind you. Bye!” Ben and Envo and Eliza decided to go to the famous Aliger Restaurant of Aliger Town to eat, as the trio was very hungry after talking to three people, and settting a (food-related!) trap on Efrutiva. They ate Hero Special, which was a special reserved for heros. (What a weird restaurant!) It had Ben’s favourite food (sausage bagels with smoked salad!) and bacon and life and the planet. Ben liked it so much he said so many “thank you for the delicious food!”s to the chef that he was kicked out, and could not enter again until Efrutiva was dead. “It’s time to get to the arena” said Ben. Ben went to Arena Airport to take Efruavgnevil Air to Arena Town. On the plane…. Ben was taken away to the hospital, where he was infected with Scorch Dieease. He was cured, and he went to the CCFEP (Consultation Center for Eating Pigs) where he ate pigs, as that was the only true cure for his dieease. The pigs gave Ben a Break Gem, which was a gem that gave Ben a break from his adventures. Ben decided to use it to go to Hero Paradise. It was a beautiful place, where Ben bought several bullets for his LegenGOLDNwcGun. He tested some of the finest bullets in the world that would cost $9001 normally, but due to the fact that he was a true hero and used legendary tactics, he was given it for free. No tax (it’s Hero Paradise!) no nothing. Just the bullet, and it was free. Ben was so overjoyed that he decided to buy some other guns to up his power. He bought many, as it was a 1-Cent store. Ben eventually decided to rest from shopping. He went to Hero’s Hotel and bought a Deluxe-Class room for only $1. He got room number 1337. It had: •Everything Ben would ever want Take-home service so he could take it all home and everything else good in the world. Ben decided: “It’s time to fight…” Chapter 8 Ben decided to go to Skymark (a resort for arranging ultimate duels for heros) and registered the ultimate duel with Efrutiva. Skymark promised that he would get some time at the resort afterwards if he was sucsessful at defeating Efrutiva. Ben went off on his way to the arena. On the way, in Africa, Elephant Tano decided to come help Ben and Envo and Eliza, but Tano left off when the sea journey was making him sick. Now you’re thinking: “In the middle of the sea, how could he get out of the sea?” Well, Elephant Tano is a magical elephant and can teleport anywhere he wants. Ben and Envo and Eliza were left to find the arena on their own, so they asked Heroville for tips. They said: “Just use this APS (Arena Positioning System) to find Efrutiva Arena, Arenaville, AV, Arena. Ben went into the bundled car and punched that address into the APS, and it took him to the parking lot of Efrutiva Arena. Ben got Envo and Eliza ready to defend (as Ben was fighting) and prepared his LegenGOLDNwcGun, and went down to earth to fight. Ben faced off with Efrutiva in the ultimate duel. It started out bland…. Ben used Attack! Ben used Attack! But then, Ben took out…. he took out…. the LegenGOLDNwcGun! Efrutiva also took out hers, and didn’t see that Ben had one. Ben and Efrutiva fired at the same time. Now let’s pause the story for a minute and have a flashback. “What’s that there? The LegenGOLDNwcGun? Efrutiva has one! Would you like to know a secret only 5 people know, from long ago? When the bullets of two LegenGOLDNwcGuns collide, the opponent (Efrutiva in this case) will be sealed away forever and will be dead forever. Even a zombie would faint! So I hope Efrutiva has no SpyCamera, because last time I checked with mine, she didn’t!” Ben remembered. Ben was like “W00T!” and shot just as Efrutiva did. Efrutiva’s last words before dying were: “Oh no…… Ben knew….. My life….. done…….. This isn’t the last of me…!” and she exploded in a light flash, and sparkled away into the ground. Her LegenGOLDNwcGun did the same, and so did the bullets of the LegenGOLDNwcGun. All gone. Everything. Efrutiva HQ collapsed and was sold to Ben as a new home, and the seller repaired it. Ben had a wonderful time, flew Mato Air to Mato Asia, and vacationed in the newly opened Ben Hotel. He had a wonderful day in the hotel, and went to Heroland, where he was celebrated forever, and he became the richest and most famous person in the world, also thanks to Skymark. But would this peace be forever? ………. |

3845 WORDS ( Not counting these and the bottom ones ) Rickie Elliot is a student at early 20th century Cambridge, a university that seems like paradise to him, amongst bright if cynical companions, when he receives a visit from two friends, an engaged young woman, Agnes Pembroke, and her older brother, Herbert. The Pembrokes are Rickie’s only friends from home. An orphan who grew up living with cousins, he was sent to a public (boarding) school where he was shunned and bullied because of his lame foot, an inherited weakness, and frail body. Agnes, as it happens, is engaged to Gerald, now in the army, who was one of the sturdy youths who bullied Rickie at school. Rickie is not brilliant at argument, but he is intensely responsive to poetry and art, and is accepted within a circle of philosophical and intellectual fellow-students led by a brilliant but especially cynical aspiring philosopher, Stuart Ansell, who refuses, when he is introduced to her, even to acknowledge that Agnes exists. When visiting the Pembrokes during his vacation Rickie has an epiphanic vision of the sexual bond between Gerald, who is coarse but handsome and athletic, and Agnes, a bond he cannot imagine for himself. He takes these lovers’ side in trying to speed their marriage, offering part of his own inheritance, an offer that insults Gerald. When Gerald is suddenly killed in a football match, Rickie finds a role consoling Agnes—he tells her she should “mind” what has happened, that is, that she should grieve—since her passion for Gerald has been the main event of her life. Rickie becomes Agnes’ chief consolation and support, though he is in every way Gerald’s opposite, and after a year or two, despite the failure of Rickie’s stories to find a publisher, he and Agnes become engaged to marry. The young couple pay a visit to Rickie’s Aunt Emily Failing, a wealthy eccentric, the widow of a well-known essayist. On this visit they meet Aunt Emily’s ward, Stephen, a quarrelsome and handsome semi-educated 19-year-old. For some reason—perhaps just to make malicious mischief—Aunt Emily wants Rickie and Stephen to get to know each other. The two young men do not take to each other at all, and quarrel. Yet it turns out that they are in fact half-brothers, a long-kept secret that Aunt Emily reveals to Rickie, mostly to shock him. Rickie assumes that Stephen is the illegitimate son of his father—a father he hated—who lived apart from Rickie’s mother during Rickie’s childhood. Illegitimacy in this period is still considered to be a blight on the child, as well as the family, and Agnes, who is essentially conventional, considers Stephen’s existence something to be deeply ashamed of and to be kept secret, and Stephen a person who deserves to be shunned.

Her brother, Herbert, has received an offer to be the head of a dormitory at Sawston School, and can fill this post only if Agnes and Rickie marry quickly and join him, Agnes to be house mother, and Rickie to be a teacher of classics. Rickie’s ambition to be a writer, and his freedom of thought, are suppressed by the dreary regimen of teaching, and his moral sense is suffocated by the influence of his wife and brother-in-law. He becomes a petty tyrant in the classroom, and an insensitive enforcer of school rules, though a part of him still sees and understands what he has lost, both as a writer and a man of refinement and sensitivity, since Cambridge. He is “dead” to his former friend, Stuart Ansell, who refuses to answer Rickie’s letters. Ansell finally does pay a visit to Rickie, stopping at the house of another acquaintance, and by coincidence he meets Stephen, who (partly due to Agnes’s scheming to get Aunt Emily’s inheritance for Rickie and herself) has been expelled from Mrs. Failing’s house. Stephen has discovered his identity at last, and now knows that Rickie is his half-brother. He wants to meet him again and see whether they might get on better. Ansell falls under the spell of Stephen’s rustic honesty, physical vitality, and impulsiveness. Rickie, Agnes and Herbert assume Stephen has come to blackmail them and Agnes offers him money, but Stephen, who is in fact penniless, now wants nothing to do with them. In a horrifying blowout, in front of all the pupils, Ansell accuses Rickie and Agnes of wanting to deny Stephen’s existence. Ansell reveals to Rickie that Stephen is, in fact, his mother’s illegitimate child, not his father’s. Rickie faints at this revelation. Rickie’s marriage has become loveless, as Ansell assumed it would, and with his brother’s reappearance he realizes that he has fallen under his wife’s spell and denied his better nature. He leaves to find Stephen, dear to him now because he is the child of the same beloved mother, and he attempts unsuccessfully to assume the role of a brother, for example, to get him to stop drinking. The two of them go to Wiltshire to see his aunt. This brief period when they travel together restores to Rickie the sense of himself that has been lost ever since he fell under his wife’s influence, and, as well, restores his sense of joy and playful love of life. Rickie is unable, however, to control his mercurial half-brother, who gets drunk despite his promise not to. Like his mother, and like Gerald, Rickie dies suddenly: his legs are severed when he tries to pull a drunken Stephen off some railroad tracks. Stephen survives, marries, and in a brief epilogue stands up to Herbert Pembroke for his right to money that is due him with the publication of his half-brother’s book of stories, now valuable since, after his death, Frederick Elliot has become a noted author. The “longest journey” which is, of course, the span of one’s life, or, in another sense, the development into one’s true self, has concluded successfully for Rickie, who has regained his sense of integrity. Though his life is cut short, he receives his vindication by coming to moral clarity at last, rejecting conventional hypocrisy, and acknowledging his bond to his brother. His uniqueness and worth are confirmed as well by his posthumous success as an artist.

Ansell finally does pay a visit to Rickie, stopping at the house of another acquaintance, and by coincidence he meets Stephen, who (partly due to Agnes’s scheming to get Aunt Emily’s inheritance for Rickie and herself) has been expelled from Mrs. Failing’s house. Stephen has discovered his identity at last, and now knows that Rickie is his half-brother. He wants to meet him again and see whether they might get on better. Ansell falls under the spell of Stephen’s rustic honesty, physical vitality, and impulsiveness. Rickie, Agnes and Herbert assume Stephen has come to blackmail them and Agnes offers him money, but Stephen, who is in fact penniless, now wants nothing to do with them. In a horrifying blowout, in front of all the pupils, Ansell accuses Rickie and Agnes of wanting to deny Stephen’s existence. Ansell reveals to Rickie that Stephen is, in fact, his mother’s illegitimate child, not his father’s. Rickie faints at this revelation. Rickie’s marriage has become loveless, as Ansell assumed it would, and with his brother’s reappearance he realizes that he has fallen under his wife’s spell and denied his better nature. He leaves to find Stephen, dear to him now because he is the child of the same beloved mother, and he attempts unsuccessfully to assume the role of a brother, for example, to get him to stop drinking. The two of them go to Wiltshire to see his aunt. This brief period when they travel together restores to Rickie the sense of himself that has been lost ever since he fell under his wife’s influence, and, as well, restores his sense of joy and playful love of life. Rickie is unable, however, to control his mercurial half-brother, who gets drunk despite his promise not to. Like his mother, and like Gerald, Rickie dies suddenly: his legs are severed when he tries to pull a drunken Stephen off some railroad tracks. Stephen survives, marries, and in a brief epilogue stands up to Herbert Pembroke for his right to money that is due him with the publication of his half-brother’s book of stories, now valuable since, after his death, Frederick Elliot has become a noted author. The “longest journey” which is, of course, the span of one’s life, or, in another sense, the development into one’s true self, has concluded successfully for Rickie, who has regained his sense of integrity. Though his life is cut short, he receives his vindication by coming to moral clarity at last, rejecting conventional hypocrisy, and acknowledging his bond to his brother. His uniqueness and worth are confirmed as well by his posthumous success as an artist. Her brother, Herbert, has received an offer to be the head of a dormitory at Sawston School, and can fill this post only if Agnes and Rickie marry quickly and join him, Agnes to be house mother, and Rickie to be a teacher of classics. Rickie’s ambition to be a writer, and his freedom of thought, are suppressed by the dreary regimen of teaching, and his moral sense is suffocated by the influence of his wife and brother-in-law. He becomes a petty tyrant in the classroom, and an insensitive enforcer of school rules, though a part of him still sees and understands what he has lost, both as a writer and a man of refinement and sensitivity, since Cambridge.

Ansell reveals to Rickie that Stephen is, in fact, his mother’s illegitimate child, not his father’s. Rickie faints at this revelation.Rickie Elliot is a student at early 20th century Cambridge, a university that seems like paradise to him, amongst bright if cynical companions, when he receives a visit from two friends, an engaged young woman, Agnes Pembroke, and her older brother, Herbert. The Pembrokes are Rickie’s only friends from home. An orphan who grew up living with cousins, he was sent to a public (boarding) school where he was shunned and bullied because of his lame foot, an inherited weakness, and frail body. Agnes, as it happens, is engaged to Gerald, now in the army, who was one of the sturdy youths who bullied Rickie at school. Rickie is not brilliant at argument, but he is intensely responsive to poetry and art, and is accepted within a circle of philosophical and intellectual fellow-students led by a brilliant but especially cynical aspiring philosopher, Stuart Ansell, who refuses, when he is introduced to her, even to acknowledge that Agnes exists. When visiting the Pembrokes during his vacation Rickie has an epiphanic vision of the sexual bond between Gerald, who is coarse but handsome and athletic, and Agnes, a bond he cannot imagine for himself. He takes these lovers’ side in trying to speed their marriage, offering part of his own inheritance, an offer that insults Gerald. When Gerald is suddenly killed in a football match, Rickie finds a role consoling Agnes—he tells her she should “mind” what has happened, that is, that she should grieve—since her passion for Gerald has been the main event of her life. Rickie becomes Agnes’ chief consolation and support, though he is in every way Gerald’s opposite, and after a year or two, despite the failure of Rickie’s stories to find a publisher, he and Agnes become engaged to marry. The young couple pay a visit to Rickie’s Aunt Emily Failing, a wealthy eccentric, the widow of a well-known essayist. On this visit they meet Aunt Emily’s ward, Stephen, a quarrelsome and handsome semi-educated 19-year-old. For some reason—perhaps just to make malicious mischief—Aunt Emily wants Rickie and Stephen to get to know each other. The two young men do not take to each other at all, and quarrel. Yet it turns out that they are in fact half-brothers, a long-kept secret that Aunt Emily reveals to Rickie, mostly to shock him. Rickie assumes that Stephen is the illegitimate son of his father—a father he hated—who lived apart from Rickie’s mother during Rickie’s childhood. Illegitimacy in this period is still considered to be a blight on the child, as well as the family, and Agnes, who is essentially conventional, considers Stephen’s existence something to be deeply ashamed of and to be kept secret, and Stephen a person who deserves to be shunned. Her brother, Herbert, has received an offer to be the head of a dormitory at Sawston School, and can fill this post only if Agnes and Rickie marry quickly and join him, Agnes to be house mother, and Rickie to be a teacher of classics.

Uh, yeah. That post was copy paste. Doesn't anyone read classical novels anymore to recognize it? The Longest Journey I mean, the kid is 10 years old, and using terms like 'euphoric" and "posthumous". Come on people.

Yeah, this hasn't been going well. A couple posts filled with nonsense in an attempt to inflate their length, and a post that copied and pasted someone else's writing. Since I doubt leaving this open would allow anything to get any better, I'll go ahead and close it now.
