Part 69: Final Chapter - Update # 1 - Shinobi in a Strange Land
Update #1 - Shinobi in a Strange Land
: When we last left our erstwhile original 
: I was beaten, poisoned, covered in ectoplasm and really looking forward to a long vacation. ...
That's not happening, is it?
: Absolutely not 
. Just as Obama poses dramatically:
: Wait, I meant:
: A strange voice speaks from the sky:
: You, who seek to change the path of history... To the ones who still embrace their illusions of humanity...
I invite... you to learn the truth...
: (Each hero gets a different intro: Sunset remembers how to be a hero, Sphere learned what it means to be human, etc)
: What. the SHIIIIIIII
: Obama-maru!!!
: ^ This is the main theme from now on. It's somewhat disconcerting, to say the least.: A black featureless void. Sweet, haven't been in one of those for a while. Weren't you planning to show me something, oh ever so mysterious voice guy?
: Show yourself, so I can kick your ass and go home!
: Black voids are totally passe, you know. All the cool bad guys are using sparkly psychedelic backdrops these days. 
: If you're trying to mess with my head, you've got another thing coming. I know how to become one with the darkness. I did just that when I passed through the castle like a shadow....
Wait, I mean...
: I've killed every guard in the castle... didn't I?! Ugh...GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
: And so, Obama finished his mission, and disappeared as though a black void swallowed him. Just like a true Shinobi. As fitting an epitaph as any, I suppose....
...
No. NO. NO! I'm not letting the darkness claim me, you fuck. I'm getting the hell out of here, and kicking your ass!
: This place can't be endless. It can't be. Eventually, I'm going to...
: The fuck.
: Other lands? Other planes? Other times? Can I just... walk through?...
Nope. So... what does this mean about my current state of existence? Am I alive, or dead, or trapped in some weird state in betwe
: Oh hey, stairs. I may have been warned about them at some point, but I think I've had more than enough of this place and its mindfucks. Ninja jump!
: Hell yeah. Your mind boggling black voids and weird illusions have no hold on a true Shinobi, you... weird voice guy......
I can escape any trap, deal with any enemy! My weapons are everything that exists! I! AM! INVIN
: cible. Ok, time for a quick equipment check.
: Correction, I've got most of my stuff, but my skills seem to have been erased. I'm just a bit short of "invincible", as such. :/ Whatever. On to that ominous mountain.
: Well, if this doesn't scream "final boss that way", then I don't know what does. The smart thing to do would be to walk away until we're strong enough to handle whatever is inside... but Obama is done with griding. We're walking in and slashing whatever stands in our way..........
Or we would, if we could open this door.
: I'm sure if I explore, I'll find plenty of helpful people just eager to help me out. You know all the friendliest sorts cover their road signs in blood and... stuff.
