Epic Saga: The Video Game

As the name implies, Epic Saga is, indeed, epic. This game will be only for Wii and the ESRB will most likely be given a T for Teen for its mild blood and violence.

Epic Saga will likely never come about because its heavily based off of fan-made content. However, this is an original idea and may be considered good.

The gameplay is very unique from others because you can switch from an RPG style to a beat-em-up style. To make things clearer, the gameplay is this. Say you go through the level and beat up the enemies and bosses on the fly. The enemies drop EXP points, items, and coins, but not as much as when you do what I'm about to say next. Next you switch to RPG stlye and as soon as you run into an enemy, a turn-based battle begins. This takes long and can be agonizing at times, but if you want to improve your character's stats, this is a must. Please note this has no impact on level progress and is completely optional.

Beecanoe's, Jared's, Geniusguy's, Dry Paratroopa's, Mr. Bones's, and Galactic Petey's story
"No! Stop!" says Mario as he is being pushed closer and closer to the edge of a lava pit.

"Stop? Could I have told you that and you wouldn't have pushed ME over? It's time to avenge my soul and countless others!"

These words, being said by the main character of this story Beecanoe, whose lifelong goal was to push Mario, the obese plumber we all know for killing countless numbers of Bowser's minions, into the lava.

"Goodbye, Mario. I hope I won't be seeing you again!"

Mario tumbles into the lava and burns to ash.

Then Beecanoe wakes up.

"Damn!" Beec says as he slams his fist on the nightstand. "I knew it was too good to be true!"

Beec shambles over to the corner of his chamber and grabs his hat and cloak.

As he walks down the hall, a Koopatrol walks beside him.

"Master Beec! You're finally awake! Listen, there is a fuzzy invasion in the back of the castle Lord Dry Bowser wants you to attend to."

"What else have I got to live for?" says Beec sarcastically as he walks to the back of the castle.

He goes to the back door when he hears through it that someone is already killing the fuzzies. Then he hears a loud shriek and then the sound of Fuzzies being killed and the occasional grunting stops.

Beecanoe cautiously enters the backyard, and is immediately pulled into the bushes by a large hand.

"Are you out of your damn mind coming out here?" says the one who pulled him behind the bushes. Beec examines that the individual didn't look like he was native to the Mushroom Kingdom, as he was made of rock with some hints of lava going down parts of his body.

"Never mind," he says "Can you fight?"

"Yes, that's the reason I'm here, I was sent to kill these fuzzies."

"Good, I could use all the help I can get to take out this pile of vomit."

The creature that let out the shriek was a fuzzy of monstrous proportions, and had dozens of fuzzies trailing behind it.

"Man, I just got to this world, and I already know that this is my least favorite species here." says the golem.

"You should meet the humans." mumbles Beec.

"You know what? I'm done hiding! I'm going to kill that thing!" says Beecanoe as he stands up from crouching behind the bushes.

Beecanoe dashes across the lawn and confronts the gigantic fuzzy. But he soon loses hope, as a black wall of smaller fuzzies comes with the giant.

They charge at Beec, when a massive roar comes from across the landscape. The fuzzies, startled at the sound, run away and leave the giant fuzzy by itself.

Galactic Petey stomps across the lawn toward the Beec.

"Thank you Galactic. The battle would have surely been harder with those things helping him."

"It not problem." says Galactic Petey, who was given the gift of speech different from all the other Pirahna plants. The only problem was that he couldn't speak well with it.

The golem joins the Beec and Galactic and the first boss fight of the game begins.

Of course, the giant fuzzy (whose name is Giga Fuzzy) is defeated. While it is down, Jared kicks the fuzzy's weak body. "Pathetic weakling! Be lucky I didn't kill you!"

"Apparently you have no name because you never mentioned one through all this madness." says Beecanoe.

"Cut the sarcasm. I have a name. It's Jared."

"You don't look like you're native to this world."

"Of course not. I come from a planet that was destroyed by an evil blue robot."

Beecanoe's expression freezes. "Was the robot, by chance, named Megaman?"

"Yes, but I can't see how you would know about him."

"When I went on a hero killing spree two years ago, Megaman was on my hit list. I wasn't very successful. He almost killed me. Again."

During the conversation, a beaten Giga Fuzzy tries to sneak attack Beec and Jared. Galactic Petey doesn't notice either as he's picking at a shrub and loafing around. The Giga Fuzzy tries to devour Beec, but a giant green blast hits the Giga Fuzzy, creating an enormous hole in the middle of its body.

"Oops, it was supposed to completely disintegrate it. Oh well, I'm still working out the kinks." A green Shy Guy with an enormous brain flying in a hovercraft arrives.

"Oh, yes. By the way. You three had better watch out. This menace's little friends are coming back."

A giant black wall of fuzzy death erupts into the clearing.

"Wow, when is this fuzzy thing gonna end?" says Jared.

"It end now!" yells Galactic as he charges into the wall.

"I will be right behind him." says Beecanoe as he runs after Galactic Petey.

Jared and the strange Shy Guy follow suit. "By the way, my name is Genius Guy. Actually it's the name of my species but I just go by it." says the Shy Guy to Jared as they run into the wall of fuzzies.

While playing as Beec, Jared, Genius Guy, and Galactic, a fight between the massive fuzzy army begins.

After the battle Jared, Genius Guy, and Galactic are scattered across the battlefield.

"Where Beec?" says Galactic Petey.

Everyone turns around to see a pile of fuzzies piled on top of what they assume is Beecanoe. An eruption of dark fire scatters the fuzzies all over. Every single fuzzy in the area dies.

Little does the foursome know that they are being watched by Bowser, Dry Bowser, and another mysterious being.

"They show great skill in the fighting arts. These four are perfectly ideal for my plan."

"But, Lord Apocalypse. Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. My plan required a team of six to deal with the nuisances that have been slaying my minions. These four will make a good two thirds of that team."

"Very well. I will call them in and will tell them their objective."

A Koopatrol comes onto the lawn and tells the four individuals to come into the castle and follow him.

Jared hesitates, while the others come in with the Koopatrol. Beec grabs Jared and takes him with him.

"We have witnessed your battle with the fuzzies." says Dry Bowser

"Yeah. We're very impressed." says Bowser.

"Which is why you will be part of a team. A team that will help carry out my plan." says Apocalypse.

"Wait a minute, who's he?" says Beecanoe while pointing to Apocalypse.

"My name is Apocalypse. My master plan is to destroy the entire universe.  And I have the power to do so.  But some heroes are standing in my way and killing off my minions.  I need a team of six to counter theirs."

"Yeah, and you four are going to be part of that team." says Bowser.

"Let's see, the team will be Beecanoe, Genius Guy, Galactic Petey, and who is this?" questions Dry Bowser.

"I am Jared the Saurian. My planet Sauria was destroyed by Megaman.  I'd be happy to join."

"Megaman is a part of that team. So there is a benefit after all." says Apocalypse.

"Who is all on the team?" asks Beecanoe.

"The team consists of Mario, Sonic, Megaman, Shadow, Zero, and Luigi." answers Apocalypse.

"Perfect. I can finally get my revenge on Mario.  I am in." says Beecanoe.

"It's not an option, but so be it." says Bowser.

"The heroes are completely on the other side of the universe. To reach them, you'll have to go across the universe to eight worlds before meeting them in the middle.  In this universe, there are seventeen planets.  Mine exists at the very center, where you will find the heroes, as they are making their way to my planet as well."

"You mean there are sixteen planets. Sauria was one of them, but was destroyed."

"The ruins of Sauria are still classified as a planet, Jared the Saurian." replies Apocalypse. "Now go! But you will be needing my ship.  Take it for yourself to travel across the universe."

The foursome proceed to get on the ship when Beec turns around and asks, "What about the other two?"

"You will be meeting your first ally on the fourth planet. The second you will meet on the eighth."

"Good enough" says Beecanoe.

They board the ship. Genius Guy notices that it's called the Ship of Dark Entities. He shrugs and climbs on board. He decides to pilot being the smartest of the group. The ship takes off and Bowser, Dry Bowser and Apocalypse wave them off.
