The Game within Games; What happens in the real Marioverse?

Hello everybody,

Many of you may have heard of "The Game out of Games," which was my first fanfic on here, and a pretty sucessful one too. The title of this fanfic is extremly similar, right? That's because it's the same thing.

Ok, before you start berating me, and saying I should just revive the old one rather than create a new topic, I want to give you my reasons why I chose this option rather than the other.

* This is the same fanfiction, but it's improved, and the storyline is different by a bit. The story format is also changed, it's like a story rather than a play of sorts.
* This fanfic is also going to be much more organised, and I plan on updating regularly.
* The other topic is so dead it's on the 4th page, and I really don't feel like reviving it. I want to start afresh.

These are all my minor reasons, the main one was my problem with the updating. Whatever I posted didn't stay posted. I complained to a moderator, but it hasn't been fixed.

So, I've decided to start afresh. I know I'm not special or anything, but please accept my reasons for creating this new topic rather than bumping the old one. I can't stop you if you decide to lock this, but I hope you can make this one small exception.

For all those people who read before, I recommend you re-read whatever I post, because it will be different to what the story was before. And, of course, it will refresh the story for those who've forgotten it.

Thank you!

Chapter 1: Strike

It was nearing the end of a normal day in the studio, and Editor Tiley Hawkins was giving her cramped hand a well deserved rest. "Aah... the new game is a hit! Super Smash Bros. Brawl is so far one of the most popular games yet! Wow... our royalty cheques are so high..." she said as she examined a line graph showing the sudden increase of game sales.

Suddenly, she heard a distant thundering noise from the outside corridor. As the volume increased, Tiley recognised it as the distinctive sound of determined stomping. She stood up and walked towards the door, her brow creased with confusion. Then she opened it, and what she saw made her step back in shock.

Hundreds of Mario characters were storming down the hallway; it was a stampede of goombas and toads. Somewhere amongst all the chaos, the tall pink figure of Princess Peach could be seen, and next to her, though not as visible, Mario was marching, holding a sign mounted on a picket that read, 'WE'RE ON STRIKE!' in red, bolded lettering.

All the characters that had mouths were yelling and screaming, the ones that could speak properly chanting angrily the same words that Mario and several others held above their heads. Tiley sighed and glanced at her watch. She had really been looking forward to sleeping early today.

"Ok stop! All of you, calm down!" she yelled, but her calls were unheard. She wasted no more breath trying to shout, but instead retreated back into her office. When she returned, she was holding a large megaphone, which she proceeded to yell through at top volume, "Calm down!"

Everybody immediately ceased their rhythmic parade and gave Tiley their strict attention. Satisfied, she put the megaphone down. "Ok, guys, without shouting or swearing or anything of that sort... could somebody please explain to me -calmly, of course- what the hell is this about?"
"We're on strike! We've had enough!" yelled somebody within the crowd, and this was punctuated by a short cheer which ceased at the sight of Tiley's stormy face.

"You can't just walk off the games. Not only is it rude, but there are other legal issues. In any case, why would you want to? What haven't you got that you wanted?" Tiley explained.
"Everybody's unhappy with what's been going on! Some of these rules need changing!" yelled a toad, and there was another hearty cheer. Tiley sighed and put her arms on her waist.

"Guys, can we please all be sensible and talk about this in my office? Do we really need to make such a big fuss?" Tiley said, and everybody exchanged expressions of unease.
"Go on Mario," encourage Peach, "Tiley's always been fair before. She'll listen." Mario nodded. "That sounds fair, Tiley. We'll talk about it," he announced, and slowly, all the strike banners and signs drooped downwards as many Mario characters walked off, resigned.

"Ok," Tiley addressed the small group that was left behind, consisting only of main characters, "you should come inside. I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of talking today..."
