My mind felt cloudy and my stomach felt sick. Arg, why - no, where am I? What was that voice? "Dad!" It was like a kid, "Dad you proud?! I got that human you saw! I found them! I caught them!" "Good job Junior! See, 'Devil'? My son is much better then your good for nothing lackey." My eyes finally opened, fluttering to get used to the light. Was my eyes deceiving me or was the light orange and red? I tried to rub my eyes but I couldn't move my hands, looking down to see a snake wrapped around them. I screamed, making it the hiss and slide off , seeing another one slither off my ankles. I was trapped! The cage looked like a bird's one and the bars were made of Gold. Sh- "Well, Well, Well. The little birdy woke up." I looked up to see The devil looking down at me, King Dice and Bower Jr behind him playing with the cards and Bowser next to him. My heart raced but I didn't back down, showing no fear, "I'm not a bird you freaken bastard!! What do you want from me!? I have nothing!... you took it away." My house is gone from the portal, my mum is in the hut and I'm, I'm stuck in a freaken bird cage hanging from the ceiling of a villain layer. What more could I lose. They looked at me with an expression, looked at each other, then laughed; filled with such dominance and darkness. I've never felt so small in my life. I tried to look away but the Devil's eyes would always find mine, "now don't get too humorous, human! We've already got what we want and were just eliminating our competition." "Competition my PC! I'm nothing compared to your size nor magic!! Unless your scared of me?" My cage rattled suddenly, causing me to collapse onto the ground for a new pair of eyes to stared at me through the bars, "We're not scared of you! Mr Devil and my dad could crash you If you don't watch what your saying!" "That's enough Junior, the human had enough already." That big shelled lizard pushed his son aside and straightened my cage, giving me time to get back onto my feet. "You may not have magic, but the potential is still in you like that annoyance Mario and crew. Look." He grabbed the white orb off the Devil and put it near me. Colours glowed from it. I FORGOT TO PUT THE GAMES BACK INTO THE PC, DANG IT!!!

Bowser put the gem away before my mind told me to grab it and placed it on the top of a high shelf, opening the cage door then grabbing me by the waist. "Hey, put me down! My friends will notice I'm gone and destroy ALL your ugly faces!!" I tried to struggle through his thick fingers to no avail except pissing him off. "Why did we have to get the loud ones? They're so annoying!" "At least you haven't dealt with the people I deal with." King Dice perked up, over hearing they're conversation, "Hey, I heard that boss! And that's not how you handle a prisoner. They're powerful but they don't know how to use it yet." He ordered some of his cards to fetch me from that reptile and placed me on his hands. "That's what you said about Cuphead and Mugman. You can see how THAT turned out." That Dice head rolled his eyes and placed me on his shoulders. I wouldn't dare cross them now, I need more insight. The Devil smiled at my expression, holding onto the Dice's head for balance, "Well, since your making a new friend there Lackey, why not show them around our NEW Palace. And get their name while your at it!" "Yes, Boss." He fixed his suit up before walking away from the room, I could hear Bowser and Mr Devil fighting as we exited.

For some reason, I felt safer around old Dicey boy more then those two psychos, maybe because he's more gentle? Kind? Or maybe because he's not 'The Devil' himself. No matter what, I decided I wasn't going to talk. Not my name, not where I or they were, NOTHING. As we walked through the halls, I noticed the walls were blood red, giving me shivers when I look. The lights were gold and portrait frames were gold too. Where were we anyway?! We stopped by a bar like place where Dice dropped me into a big empty wine glass, too slippery to climb up. He sat on the seat opposite me and looked down, "Okay, human. Boss wants your name. So, what is it?" I turned around, not to look at him. "Look. If you don't like me, I understand. But I could only show you much kindness before I snap. So I'll ask you again. What is your name?" Nothing. "*sigh* The only reason I am here is because of YOU. I never wanted this and I could guess, you didn't want this either. You do owe me because of this and the least you can do is tell me your name." I was in an argument with myself, should I tell him my name? I closed my eyes and I breathed, "My name is Y/N. Y/N L/N."
