Mega-Man: Tourney of Dreams!

A Story by Abishai100

A vignette about a 'cyber-wizard' in a special Mega-Man sunny-tourney for a gold-prize which might see him win more detention.

A video-game adventure-tourney fable featuring the iconic Mega Man and inspired by the cool kids' film The Wizard. Hope you like it (and thanks so much for reading!),

Beau's a video-game sponsor/coach who's found the terrific 'wizard' who's going to take him all the way to a California tournament ('tourney') title this summer, and this is something that's made him happy in lieu of his recent disappointments with finding a good method of cyber-sponsorship!

The 'wizard' is an Algerian-American CalTech scholar named Amlan Satan (code-name: Storm-Shadow) who's an aficionado of Mega-Man video-games and plans to compete in the special summer-games with the sponsorship of his new coach Beau!

STORM-SHADOW (Amlan Satan): I've played Mega-Man as long as I can remember, and it's a great foray into cyber-intuitions.

MAGAZINE/FANZINE: This year's Mega-Man video-game tourney would bring out the best North America's offering to worlds.

BEAU: Are you psyched-out for this Mega-Man Adventure, Storm-Shadow (Amlan)?

STORM-SHADOW: You can count on me, Beau; I'm fixed on the magic of this tourney, and I'll win us that prize!

The tourney sponsors come out with laurels and hope to reflect this modern era's socialized fascination with tech-toys and video-game 'worlds' highlighting our media-broadcast joys of special magic illuminated in special cyber-mazes/games of great agility and intuition, and Mega-Man has the commentators of the summer-tourney thinking about global dance.

Amlan (Storm-Shadow) cruises through the early rounds of the Mega-Man tourney, since he's adept at getting through the work-maze levels and reaching big-boss fights and dispelling them with swift forms of weaponry-enhanced leaping-shooting and evasion, and he's frustrating the competition-pool, and all this makes Beau (his newfound mentor-coach-sponsor) taking iPhone snapshots of all the electric-imagery at the Cali-event.

STORM-SHADOW: You're beautiful!
SAREENA: I dressed up in a combat-game costume for this summer tourney, Mr. Wizard.

STORM-SHADOW: I hope to reach the Dr. Wily stage of the Mega-Man tourney-game...and win for you!

SAREENA: Well, I have to admit, Mr. Wizard...you got me wishing you well...and in secret.

Storms-Shadow has to defeat four mighty titans of the Mega-Man Cali-tourney to reach the champion-game and the Dr. Wily boss-fight arena, and he does so with great elegance, climbing ladders of the cyber-underworlds and using pellet-lasers to destroy incoming floating robot-sharks...and demons!

REPORTER: How'd you win it all, Storm-Shadow (Mr. Wizard)?
STORM-SHADOW: I was thinking of a special 'lady' who gave me that extra inspiration, good man.

REPORTER: What're you doing with the gold watch-prize with this terrific sunny Cali-win, Mr. Wizard?
STORM-SHADOW: Forgetting all about the 'darkness' and 'diagonals' of the evil Dr. Wily, good man!

REPORTER: It's clear one thing at least --- Storm-Shadow (Mr. Wizard) is being hoisted as the 'Steve Jobs' of video-game bucks!

SAREENA: We're going to Geneva to snowboard together, champion-man?
STORM-SHADOW: You put a spell on me...and I can't wait to teach you to snowboard, Sareena.

SAREENA: This gold-watch prize we're sharing is half the joy, my new beau.

STORM-SHADOW: Everything is 'gold' in proportion...with a touch of dune, love!
