Yes you did. Why the face? Yep. Nothing that would factor helpfully into traveling. Noice! Yea....you're college doesn't happen to have an exchange program would it? That would be super helpful. XD
I know I did.XD I didn't make that face tho'.... Yip-yip. I wasn't aware I was allowed to share that sort of information.xP As it should happen, i should be doing at least a little travelling for my degree, so yeah it might.
Yes you did. THERE! RIGHT THERE! You just did it again! Yeppers. Mmm, depends. That's very cool. : D
You're welCON. The LMBEs are pretty strict on that stuff anyways, so it wasn't like I was going to post anything much worse. That you are. CON you wipe other's memories? I shall have to reforge it.
Oh, that's good. I'm not sure, I've never tried to. Yes, you must. It has to be epic reforging though.
Not that I really wanted to write anything more extreme, I'm about as squeamish as you appear to be with romantic scenes. I volunteer as tribute. Yes, that could possibly be worked into a sequel.
Somebody hated me and my guts. Somebody high up. I checked the tip color. Gold. This was from one of the original game coders! There were only four possibilities!
But then it hit me. No, they didn’t hate my guts. They just wanted to see if I had what it took. I had faced down the odds before. I had fought against special items all night. This was just another one. The most powerful, sure, but still, only a special item.
I summoned a lightsaber, which I promptly chucked at his face. He swung the hammer, and obliterated it.
Oh no.
I grabbed out my electric sword. He swung. The weapon disintegrated in my hands.
I had forgotten about this part.
I went through weapon after weapon, beating a hasty retreat, trying to come up with some sort of plan. My armory was dwindling. I had used up over thirty weapons in this match alone.
My spear split in two. I quickly summoned my next weapons. A small pile of boomerangs appeared in my hands. I tucked them under one arms, and then started chucking them. I kept summoning and throwing, summoning and throwing. He waded his way through them, smashing them one after another. His hammer swung in blinding circles, he easily blocked each and every last one.
And then suddenly he stopped. His avatar blinked. Match over. He glanced down, trying to figure out where I had got him.
There was a ninja star poking into his chest.
I grinned at him.
He gave me a black look, and disappeared.
He was gone by the time I got back into the lobby. Skul had fled as well.
The whole warehouse burst into cheers and applause.
“YOU DONE IT!” Mateo crossed the room in one fell-swoop, dumped my laptop onto the cushions and crushed me into a hug. Then he and the other guys hoisted me on their shoulders. I glanced at the TV, where my avatar just stared stupidly at all the others milling around me.
They finally put me down, and gave Celeste her chance. She crushed me into a hug as well, but I got a kiss on the cheek too. I glanced at her. She blushed, and backed off. I grinned at her.
Ever had that moment when everything in your life just seems to be perfect?
It’s pretty sweet.
1. *claps* 2. coWARD I was actually curious about how you'd portray Skul but this is 3. Awww this is so sweet! Beautiful victory!
1. It was the best I could come up with. 2. I felt like we didn't need two really intense battles. 3. I was so happy for him.

For a moment I honestly thought it was talking about the hammer.
Hm, that's an embarrassing oversight. I need to watch my phrasing better.

Epilogue
Alejandro didn’t know it at the time, but he was already #1 by the time he was matched up against benboy755. He broke all sorts of records for placement switches, XP in one hour, and spectator views on an arena.
He went on to have the best win-lose ratio in the game. He never changed, though. He always played for the people, and with the people.
He proposed to Celeste the next year (with Mr. Huntingway’s permission and even some tips), and they were married the following. Mateo was his best man.
Unfortunately, with his rise to power and the following revolution of chatter-combat gamers, the greats launched a protest. Out of the top 50, 37 of them cashed in all their XP and quit. The amount of money owed was humongous. They broke the game. It shut down the next month.
They had hoped it would be blamed on TheGreatCon. And in some places, maybe, people cursed his name for dragging them all down with his rise up. But most people understood who really was at fault here.
While he never fully disappeared from the limelight, following the death of the LMBs, TheGreatCon fell from the front page. People kept waiting for him to switch games, to make a name in the next big thing. He never did, though.
It was a mystery what he was doing. It was well-known that he wasn’t just grinding away at some miserable day-job though. The game creators took care of that. They scratched up the very last of the funds before they lost it all, and sent them to the one guy who actually deserved them.
What he did with them isn’t just his story, though.

Beautiful. That was a beautiful tie up. :') I'm ready for the sequel
This is personally one of my best MB stories so far. And yet, it was far from perfect. Like every other MB project of mine, it was thrown together hastily, and by the time I realized all my major flaws, it was far too late to change them.
So now comes the question...to rewrite this one, or make a sequel?
Sequel won out (I'm not really ready to CONpletely redo the story I just finished ), and work has started. I'll be starting a topic soon, and I will be taking character requests. If you were already mentioned in this last story (Sorry Sogel, Boomer and LegoAgentFigure), you'll be illegible to be added. Essa, I've got plans later for you, so similarly, you won't be in this one.
Thank you to all my readers, this was quite the journey. The 192 pages of this topic aren't all full of story parts, and that's the way I like it. Reader reactions fuel me on. You guys were all so supportive and enthuisiastic, even when I had already lost my initial drive.
The sequel will CONtinue off this version with few if any changes. It will only be loosely CONnected, though. So, uh, let me know if you'd like to be in the cast of the next.
