Totally Redux, Chapter 3- At the Ruins of Arcadia

A few minutes ago a gorilla and some elderly wrestlers were chasing me. In a blink of an eye, this all changed. I am currently piloting a spaceship towards a grey moon. Wait!! That’s no moon! I think that’s a space station. This all seems too familiar. For some reason, I am navigating my ship across a narrow pathway. I am not sure why I am inclined to do this. Perhaps I am trying to dodge the spaceships behind me. Ooh!! That was close!! Those spaceships mean business. This targeting computer might help me. Apparently, it seems to directing me forward and wants me to target a nuclear reactor. This day is just getting weirder and weirder.

I wonder what will happen next. Boom!!! I was hit by something. Boom!!! I have been hit again. Shields are down to 60%. Boom!!! Boom!!! What keeps hitting me? Uh Oh!! I think I’m flying in an asteroid field. I better think of something fast. My shields are down to 25%. Let me try flying into that cave.

Crash!!! The space ship is gone. I am now on what appears to be the set of Dance Dance Revolution. I am informed that Sponge Bob is challenging me to a dance contest. I proceed to start dancing when… ZAP!!!! I am holding a guitar in my hand and appear to be on stage with Guns and Roses. I attempt to play guitar and fail miserably. I guess Guitar Hero makes it look easy. Zoom!!! Zing!!! Clack!!! All the lights are off. A man wearing a green cape, yellow tights, with a big A emblem on his chest, and silver sunglasses approaches me and says, “Welcome to Arcade World. I have been expecting you.”
