Bad Amibo
I've always been a huge Nintendo fan. Whenever a new Nintendo game or a new console would come out, I would always try to be the first one to always buy it. A few years passed by and now I live on my own in Chico. They had just released these Nintendo action figures called, Amibo that you would play with their new console, the WiiU. And of course, being the big Nintendo fan I still am, I bought one of the Amibo’s when they first hit the shelves. I lived up in the mountains, and surprisingly there was a GameStop not far where I lived. It looked kind of old and dusty. Like no one went there for months. But I didn't care. I was too excited to get my hands on my first Amibo. The inside looked like the same as the outside. Old and dusty. There was no carpets for the floor. It was just all wood and creaky. I was even surprised someone actually worked here. There was a tall skinny guy behind the counter. He looked pale and as if he didn’t sleep for weeks. . They had a lot of these Amibo’s already, but I had my eyes on Bowser. But they only had one of those. I picked it up from the shelves and looked at it closely. His eyes weren’t painted white unlike the other figures. Instead they were red with black pupils. I saw it was just a mistake when they made this figure. I didn't care. Also the other figures around Bowser looked frightened then as they normally looked. They all had frown on their faces and I saw fear in their eyes. That’s weird, I thought. Oh well. The box from Bowser was the same as any other box from the figures. Except there was something that said on the back, "He will make you one of us." I thought Nintendo put that in as a joke. I went back to the counter and purchased Bowser. "So you’re getting that one? Ok then" He said as he sounded unsure. After I purchased Bowser, I ran back to my house with the figure in the bag. "Finally" Sighed the employee. I hurried to open the box and set the figure down on my coffee table. I popped in a game and started to play it until the game gave me the Amibo feature. When the game told me to put the Amibo on the gamepad I picked up the figure. Just then something gave me what it seemed like a paper-cut. I tapped the figure on the gamepad then quickly went to the sink in the kitchen to run my finger under water then put a Band-Aid on it. I heard the evil laugh of Bowser that kind of startled me. I looked back to the figure, but it was from the game, which had Bowser laughing at the screen. I sighed in relief. The figure was looking like he was staring at me. I went to the couch and started playing the game. A couple minutes went by while I was still playing my game. There was a knock at the front door. I paused my game then went to the door to see who it was. It was my sister, Lacey, with my nephew, Jacob, and niece, Madison. I greeted them as I heard the game un-pause and the music from the game. Lacey asked if someone else was here. I said I was just playing a game. I scratched my head as I looked back in the living room looking confused. All I can see was the figure staring at me again. This creeped me out a little. But I didn’t remember how I set the figure down, so I brushed it off. Lacey had a bag full of clothes and was going to do some laundry while I, Jacob and Madison went in the living room to play a game. As I restarted the game for them to play, I still was wondering how the hell my game un-paused with no one touching the gamepad. I didn’t want to think about it too much. I told them that they can play while I was going to go out for a bit. Jacob wanted to come along after I told them that I was going to buy a new game. I took my key and told my sister that we will be back shortly. We went back to the old GameStop. When we just got to the place it looked like it was brand new. I was confused and was wondering if this was the same store I bought Bowser. Jacob told me he wanted to buy a figure also. We went inside and it looked all clean and no dust. There was even carpet for the floor and it was not creaky. I even saw a few people shopping in here. The employer who was behind the counter looked the same, except he wasn't pale and didn’t look like he didn’t sleep in weeks anymore. I asked the guy what happened in here. He just told me, after I left that things started to pick up somehow. I looked around and then I saw all the Amibo’s on the shelf looking not sad, but happy. Like they were back to normal. Jacob was looking around at the figures. He was looking at Mario and Peach. He took them off the shelf and told me the he wanted these. I asked the employer how much for both of these. He told me that they were half off. I bought them and just as I was going to leave, the guy told me that the Bowser I bought saved the store. He looked like he was really grateful. The last thing he told me was to be really careful. Then we left. I wanted to try my new game and Jacob was jumping up and down with the figures in his hands. We got back home and Jacob opened the new figures out of the box. It was getting dark. Jacob and Madison wanted to spend the night. I had a guest room and a couch. Lacey slept in the guest room with Madison. Jacob slept on the couch. We then went to sleep. In the middle of the night I heard something get thrown at my door over and over again. I got really spooked and my heart jumped. I shouted who it was. No one answered. The pounding from my door just got louder. I turned my cellphone on for some light and got out of bed. Before I got a chance to reach for the door, the banging stopped. I stared at the door for a few seconds with a confused look. Then the banging started up again. "If that's Jacob or Madison, stop it right now!" I yelled. No one answer. I opened the door and then Mario and Peach were thrown right into my room. It almost hit me. I looked at them as they were laying on the floor. I picked them up and they were broken. The stand were not there and they were broke in half. I didn't know how to respond or act. All I still had was a puzzled look. I put Mario and Peach on my bed, then looked out from my door. No one was there except darkness. I looked on the couch and Jacob was still there sleeping. I looked are and suddenly the WiiU turned on and the gamepad lit up with Bowsers pic on the gamepad and TV screen. There was an animation of Bowser squishing Mario and Peach. Then he turned at the screen and laughed. Then the WiiU and the TV turned off. I heard Peach's and Mario's cry for help after the TV went off. But it sounded like it was from my room. I ran back into my room, but the Mario and Peach figure was gone. But then when I got back in bed while my heart was pounding, I saw Bowser's figure on my dresser. He was not in his normal pose. Instead he was pointing at me. I hopped out of bed as quickly as I could to throw the Bowser figure out of my room while I had my eyes at him. I threw him so hard, he broke when he hit the floor. I went to bed again and last thing I saw before I went to bed was Bowsers shadow on my wall from the light on my phone. I hid in the covers half way and went to sleep. The next morning I heard a yell from Jacob, "Madison! How could you?" I got out of bed and walked into the living room. I asked what was wrong. "Madison broke my two new Amibo's!" He yelled. Madison and Lacey woke up. They both went in the living room. "Not cool, Madison!" Said Jacob. "You owe me two Amibo's." I looked at Mario and Peach. Broken like last night. And then I saw the Bowser figure right near them. "Jacob, Madison slept in the guest room with me. She couldn't have broken your new toys." Said Lacey. "I didn't even get a chance to try them out." Jacob was crying. "Come on, Jacob. Let’s go. We'll get you the same toys at the GameStop." Lacey said to Jacob. "We will be back shortly." The WiiU and TV turned on again and I saw a message on the TV. “Let’s play.” It said. When Lacey, Jacob and Madison got back, there was no one there. The two broken figure were gone, and Bowser to. Lacey thought I just went out a bit again. “Where is Bowser?” Asked Jacob as he opened his new figures. Madison turned on the WiiU and TV and there I was. Trapped in the game with Bowser, Mario and Peach.
