The Promise

*Fade into a dark and dirty pent house, abandoned. TV still playing* Sergio Ramirez is a world-renowned athlete. Four Gold medals, and Six consecutive wins in the Tour' de France. Still reported missing as of 5:37pm last Thursday, last seen in his apartment building. Police are offering a reward for any information leading to the athlete's whereabouts. *Camera pans down to a less than breathing Sergio, as life leaves his eyes. A purple and ominous light engulfs our hero.*

Suddenly he opens his pale blue eyes to see the Goddess of Wind-wing Spirits. Poking his legs.* "What the h*ll, cut that out. I'm not a plush. What do you want with me?" Sergio blankly states. "I'm hoping you could help me save my planet. I have a bet with the other Gods, and you're my champion." Lightly states the Goddess. "Wait a minute, you put a planet as a betting chip? What kind of Goddess are you?" Sergio states in a surprisingly loud tone. He gets up and backs away a little. "We don't have time for more explaining, let's see what your heart's desire is." *She engulfs Sergio with purple godly energy and a golden screen appears in front of her* "It only says that your desire was to become the fastest in the world on a bike. Nothing else?.... I don't know what a Bike is, but it sounds powerful. Good luck out there Hero."

*Sergio awakes, unable to move. A grass clearing, a forest, and silence. The only thing plain to see.... is that he is a Bike now* "I swear I will teach that Goddess a lesson. AND THAT'S A PROMISE!"

*After about twenty minutes of swearing and frustration. Sergio finally calms down and reassesses his situation* "What was my goal, to save the planet? That's vague as h*ll! Plus how am I supposed to save anyone when I can't even move. This is a bum deal. *A purple screen appears in front of him, reading* Champion Assistant Mechanism or C.A.M* "Welcome Hero, your goal is to gather points, complete missions, and stop the Dungeon of Fate from consuming the planet in Chaos." Robotically stating CAM

"That's all fine now, BUT HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MOVE?!?" Prickly states Sergio. "For every kilometer you travel you gain a point. The points you gain can give you perks like the ability to move for a short time." Plainly states CAM "Wow, I have to pay to make my own journey. Pretty classy Goddess, Reeeeal classy." CAM begins "You start out with 12 points and can modify your attributes for better..." *Sergio interrupts * "Can I use my points to move right now?"..... CAM reluctantly agreed but before he can rebuff Sergio says "GO!" * And at blinding speed Sergio zooms off uncontrollably in a random direction. Before ramming right into a Goblin and his party* "Well that kind of worked" Dazedly says Sergio.
