The Council of Villains

Arriving at the control panel, Dr. Eggman found the lever used to start the machine. Crossing his fingers for just a second before, he pulled the lever down with all of his might. He waited. A second passed, and then two. Soon enough, Eggman had counted a full minute, and still nothing happened. Finally, the doctor broke the silence, seething with rage.

“Damn it! Why doesn’t it work!? You useless piece of JUNK!”

With that last word, Dr. Eggman brought his fist down on the control panel, hard. Electricity crackled somewhere on the machine. Soon, the power lines lit up, and sparks began to light up the huge, circular arch that made up the Dimensional Scrambler’s receiver node. Eggman gasped.

“Wh-What the? It’s working now!”

Now the whole laboratory began to shake; the sheer amount of energy the machine was using caused the lights to dim and flicker several times. In the space in between the arch, a wave of colored light swirled and spiraled. The sparks were becoming larger and more numerous now. Soon, a light bulb shattered. Eggman braced himself as a powerful gale emerged from the portal that the receiver node had become. As the noise grew louder and louder, and the rumbling ever stronger, a bright white light shined, from the portal, growing so intense that for a split second nothing could be seen; and then, just as suddenly as it had started, it finished. The laboratory was much the same as before, save for a few overturned experiments and the presence of a few dozen figures in the center of the room, standing just outside the now inactive portal.

The creatures mulled about in utter confusion and chaos in the center of the room. They came in all shapes and sizes; some were humanoid, while others had a more interesting body structure. Regardless of their variance in nearly every aspect, however, was one constant trait: they all had a menacing aura about them. It was clear to Eggman: each one of these beings was a villain, one of his kind, someone who would sympathize with his situation- or kill him for bringing them into it. He would have to play his cards carefully in order to avoid being maimed as soon as he drew attention to his existence.

Fortunately, an opportunity quickly seized him the moment it appeared. Two beings, one on each side of the growing mosh pit in the center, each noticed Eggman at the same time. They rushed towards the control panel and leapt for Eggman, claws and hands outstretched. As he stepped out of the way, the two beings crashed into each other. Before they could maneuver to attack him, he placed an arm on each of their shoulders.

“Ah! Greetings, friends! I was just about to address this whole lot of dangerous figures here, but I’m having trouble getting their attention. You two look like powerful fellows. If you could just help me out with this little problem, I can enlighten all of us as to our… situation.”

The two figures looked at each other. The turtle-like being on the left, who was known as Bowser, let out a deafening roar. At the same time, the olive-skinned humanoid on the right, Ganondorf, punched the make-shift podium that was the control panel, denting it and setting off a few sparks. All the villains in the center stopped their madness and turned to look at the dented podium. Eggman began speaking.

“Hello, hello, and welcome to all of you, my friends. My name is Dr. Eggman, and I have brought you all here today for your help with something veeeery important! You see, I need all of your help in creating the greatest invention ever, the Super Vague Weapon of Ambiguously Decided Doom! It will allow me- and indeed, all of you as well, to defeat your arch-nemeses, and do whatever you wish with the dimension you hail from. I cannot do it by myself, and that is why I have brought all of your great minds and strong bodies to help me to build it. Once we have completed it, I will set it in motion, inexplicably destroy every person or thing you have ever wished to crush, and send you all back to where you came from. Sound like a fair deal?”

A chorus of cheers, roars, and creepy screeching noises filled the laboratory.

“Very well, then, I’ll have my robots show you all to your quarters, and we can discuss the matter further tomorrow; it is late, after all, although I’m sure many of you don’t sleep at night anyway! Ohohohohohoho!”

------------------------------

When they all gathered in the laboratory the next morning, there was quite a stir. In a pool of blood, in the center of the room, lay the remains of a former super villain. Dr. Eggman’s gaze hardened at the sight. The machine could have malfunctioned and brought along some unwanted guests when he hit it last night. It was Ganondorf, now, who spoke, in his deep, threatening voice.

“It seems we may have some… unfriendly visitors with us here as well. No doubt they have disguised themselves as villains like us to fit in. It’s up to us to see through their disguises, they shouldn’t be too difficult to spot. Hopefully by the end of today we’ll have found the cowards, and then we can torture them to death for their deeds. I trust all of you like to torture, yes?”

And with that, the tale of the Council of Villains begins…
