Toby and his best friend Todd are at Boss Grade Games, the new and popular arcade in their city. Arcades are a popular pastime for kids Toby's age, mostly because the games are now pretty advanced, and have graphics that are to die for.
Toby and Todd stood at the interior of the arcade with sparkles in their eyes. The place was huge, with kids of all ages enjoying games to their heart's content.
Todd Forager: There it is, a Tournament of Towers game! (Todd said as he pointed at a colourful console, with someone already playing on it)
All the other games were packed, but the tournament of towers console only has one player.
Toby Robinson: Still unpopular I see, just the way I like it. (Toby said as he stood behind the kid playing the game)
Todd Forager: I thought with the release of the new tv show, people would start playing it more. (Todd said)
Toby Robinson: I thought so too, but I actually like it this way. Do you remember how long the lines were when it was still popular? There's only one console now, but we can play for as long as we want. (Toby explains with a smile)
Todd Forager: That's true... He's really not doing well. (Todd commented on the bad playing skills of the boy using the console)
Toby Robinson: It's probably because he's playing as Dabio. He's great, but you can only go so far with him. (Toby whispered)
Boy: I can hear you, you know? (The boy said after he lost at the game).... This game is rigged! (The boy said before walking away in anger)
Toby Robinson: Don't hate the game, it's your fault you lost! (Toby says to the boy as he walks away from them)... Now let's beat this game! (Toby said as he took his position in front of the console)
Todd Forager: Who are you playing as? (Todd asked as he stood closely behind Toby)
Toby Robinson: Who else? I'm playing as the baddest wolf on the planet. The Werewolf, Silver! (Toby said as he selected a silver haired coloured individual)
Todd Forager: I'll play as, Alex Knight. Then we'll see who can beat Gigaton. (Todd said with a confident smirk)
Toby Robinson: You're on. (Toby said as he started the game)
The game had a collection of characters, which the player would have to defeat in order reach the boss character, Gigaton. After each match you would have to put in a coin, and with twelve matches the two would need twenty four coins to see who would win their little bet, and they were more than ready to spend.
The game started with the silver haired young man falling from the sky, landing on the ground with tremendous force and then striking a cool poss. He wore a silver jacket, and the look in his yellow eyes is intense.

The Werewolf Silver: My instincts are about to take over, flee in terror while you still can! (The young man growls as he reveals his claws, trying to contain the animal within him)
Another character falls from the sky, he was another young man, but he has yellow hair and armour protecting the vital parts of his body.
Alex Knight: This fight is mine to win, you lost the moment you challenged me! (Alex said as he brandishes his power sword)
********
Toby Robinson: Would you look at that, the first person I'm fighting is Alex Knight. Lemme show you why he doesn't stand a chance against a Werewolf. (Toby says with a big grin on his face)
Todd Forager: This obviously doesn't count. (Todd tells him with his arms folded)
Toby Robinson: Maybe for you it doesn't. But for me it does. (Toby said as the fight began, and the two video game characters lunged at each other)
Silver attacked first with his razor sharp claws, slashing at the armoured body of Alex Knight. Alex's health bar could then be seen getting lower and lower, but just then he retaliates by striking Silver across the chest with a slash of energy.
Todd Forager: Nice, you got hit with the Wave Slash! You know what comes next right?! (Todd said with anticipation)
Alex then stretched out a hand and fires a yellow bolt of energy, striking Silver in the face. Silver's health bar could be seen going down drastically, and Toby is doing his best to recover from that stunning attack.
Toby Robinson: I'm not gonna lie, Alex is a tough character to beat... But don't you remember what happens when Silver's about to die. (Toby said with a smile, revealing his true intentions)
Todd Forager: Berserker Mode. (Todd replies with a slight frown)
Silver's health bar is now very low, but the yellow glow in his eyes was brighter than ever. Silver's body begins to grow larger, and grey fur pushes out of his body, making him look like a true to form, ferocious, Wolfman.
The Werewolf Silver: Raaaaaaa!!!!! (Silver roars before blitzing towards Alex Knight, ripping into him with fast and powerful claw attacks)
Alex tries to defend himself with attacks of his own, but they do nothing against the relentless wolfman, who then ends the fight with an explosive final attack. Leaping into the air and coming back down with both claws, clawing Alex into the ground with devasting force.
Toby Robinson: Oh yeah, I won!!! And that's exactly how it would go if those two fought for real! The victor has been decided. (Toby said after his explosive victory)
Todd Forager: This doesn't mean anything, I can get the same win against Silver. (Todd tells him confidently)
Toby Robinson: Sure you can, but beating Alex Knight is just the appetizer. Beating Gigaton in the hardest level of the game, will be the main course! (Toby said excitedly)
Hell Mode is the hardest difficulty level in the game, and Toby wanted to beat Gigaton on that level. He went on to play the rest of the game, defeating character after character. It wasn't easy, but he eventually makes it to Gigaton.
Todd Forager: Come on buddy, beat this guy! (Todd said as he encourages his friend to win this fight, because he also doesn't like Gigaton, no one likes Gigaton)
Toby Robinson: I'm trying! (Toby yells as he struggles with the controls, trying desperately to beat the unbeatable)
Gigaton: To me you are nothing, but fodder! (Gigaton yells as he stomps his foot into the ground, and then hits Sliver with an explosive uppercut, literally)
With only a single uppercut Gigaton knocks out Silver, no even giving him the chance to use his berserker mode. Which means Toby loses this round.
Toby Robinson: Aah man! I hate Gigaton! (Toby said in anger)
The game then shows a countdown timer, which means they should probably put in another coin, otherwise all the progress will be gone and the game will reset.
Todd Forager: Instead of playing the game from the start, I'm just gonna change characters. Alex Knight is the real hero of the story. (Todd tells him confidently)
Toby Robinson: Sure, I'll even be root for you the whole time. Gigaton is such a pain, he just ruins the game for everyone. (Toby says as he helps Todd to select Alex Knight, and then leaves the game to him)
Alex lands from the sky with the same force as all the other characters, a yellow aura surrounding his body as he unsheathes his sword, readying himself for this fight.
Alex Knight: This fight is mine to win, you lost the moment you challenged me! (Alex said with confidence in his tone of voice)
Gigaton: Everything in this world is mine to command... You are no different! (Gigaton said as he floated down from the sky, his body surrounded by radiation)
Todd fights as hard as he can against the unstoppable force known as Gigaton, using all the tricks in his personal bag. But beating the final boss in the hardest level of the game, is of course very challenging, and despite all his best efforts, he still loses.
Todd Forager: Aaww man! (Todd said in disappointment)
Toby Robinson: Don't sweat it dude. Gigaton is just too overpowered. But maybe one day, we'll show him whose boss. (Toby said encouragingly)
Todd Forager: Alright... I'm kinda hungry though. Wanna go to Loud Burger? (Todd asks)
Toby Robinson: Do you really have to ask? (Toby replied before they both leave the arcade, heading to their second favourite spot in the city, Loud Burger)
Next: I Don't Dream.
