As the sun beat down upon Void City's streets, a massive, pink, yellow shelled wart hog of sorts lay stomach down in the street. He was shivering, and seemed to have small chunks of ice on his body. No matter what, though, he would keep muttering the word "Fawful" while in his "sleep".
few passed by, but none really seemed to care about his little attack. It's not like Semi-giant, over weight monster hasn't hit before, right?

A red-haired youth walked through the streets of Void City. He carried a rapier in a sheath at his hip. His blue color theme was trimmed with gold designs, on his armor and headband. His cape flowed steadily behind him.
"This is a very strange place," he said. "It's almost as if created by magic itself..." Almost as if on cue, he noticed the large piglike creature.
"What on earth...?" he spoke. He saw that most of the passerby were avoiding the... thing. He approached it, carefully, with his hand upon his sword's hilt.

".... lord Fawful... So... Cold..." were th only words he managed to say. "Fawful" was what drove most of them to the side, oddly enough.

"Fawful?" the redhead repeated. He could tell the poor thing was in discomfort, and in anguish from being left behind. He felt a warmth of its own well up within him, and he laid his hand upon the creature's side.
The warmth within him spread slowly to the piglike creature, melting the remaining ice fragments first.

Nothing seemed to change at first, until his shivering stopped. his eyes slowly lifted up, then he blinked a litte, the unfamiliar scenery filling his head.
"Muh...?" was all he could manage to say. then his eyes widened fully, Forcing himseld up easily by using his massive arms to out do his weight. He apeared to be in a rage at first, pounding his stomach with his fists. then he began to laugh.
"Muh muh muh! Finally. that horrid ice. not icing me. Not making me Icing on cake!" he said, then began to look around. "But... Lord Fawful's not around... so where?!" It's about this time he noticed the youth with the flames on his hand. "And who could you be?" he demanded.

When the thing jumped up and began to rage around, the youth had drawn his rapier and took a defensive stance, scanning it for a possible weak point, deciding that just above his stomach, toward where a human's heart would be would have been the best choice.
But then, when it calmed down and laughed, he lowered his blade. "Icing on cake...?" he muttered to himself, a little shocked it could speak English, if broken English. Deciding that blurting out his identity might be a mistake, he asked, "Why don't you tell me who you are, first, and who this Lord Fawful is."

"Midbus is my Identity," he belowed, "and being minion to the magnifinent lord Fawful is my job." he closes his eyes, then opens them back up. "Lord Fawful had found me and offered me work. His work offered was great work. Work I picked up quickly.
"He had plans. Conquering an entire kingdom. His plan was of great importance to me. And I enjoyed it."
He stretched out, popping muscles that were thick in his body. he also scratched his head, his black horns getting most it it. "But we had trouble," he stated, "Trouble from a large Koopa. The great Koopa. The King sized Koopa. Bowser. He thwarted our plans like they were twigs."
He looked behind him, seeing a few familiar faces. Mostly members of his world, but some weren't. "Then I encountered the brothers. the Red and Green brothers. My robot of trash, was bested easily by them."

The red-haired youth had no idea what Midbus was talking about, until he mentioned the Koopa.
"Bowser?" He'd met the Koopa King at a fighter's tournament a few years back. "And Mario and Luigi..." Mario and Luigi had been friendly to him. Bowser, although he was mean, wasn't terribly dangerous.
"Well, then, I suppose I can tell you who I am. I'm Roy, Marquess-to-be of the territory of Pherae, in a land called Elibe. And, I have no idea how I got to this strange place." Roy brushed his hair with his raked fingers, and sheathed his rapier, though keeping his hand on the hilt.

"it seems we have something alike." Midbus said, hearing him. "I'm unaware of how my Ice prison was given a key..." After only a moment, he realized something. "You unthawed me. My guess."

Roy raised his hand, and was aware that the last bits of the warmth had been dissipating out of his hand. "I have... loose control over heat. It's like there's a fire inside my body that burns hotter when I'm emotional." He dropped his hand. "So you're from the Mushroom Kingdom, since you know the Mario Brothers, yes?" he asked.

Midbus closed his Eyes, searching inside. Then he opened them back up. "correct, Master." He bowed to Roy, seeming greatly loyal.

Roy flinched. He looked behind himself, thinking Midbus was speaking to Fawful. Seeing no one, he realized Midbus meant him.
"M-master? I'm... not your master, Midbus..." Roy was greatly unaccustomed to anyone in his servitude, always preferring to do things himself, even when serving vassals were available to him in Castle Pherae. A commander, which he had been, was different. "I've done nothing to deserve it."

"You've destroyed my frozen prison." he said, almost shouting. "That's deserving it."
He rose back up, then realized something. He couldn't betray his former master because of one little save, could he? "Very well, If I can not call you master, then I shall be your allie. Fighting for you. until I find lord Fawful."
He backed up, then said, "But being friends with a do-gooder does no good. He might abandon me... then You'll be left. Those rules must be fair."

Roy smiled. "Ally is much better. As long as you don't attempt to hurt me, then I won't betray you." Then he paused. "When you find Lord Fawful," he said, a little uneasy, "he won't make you attack me, would he? I don't want to help someone only to have to fight them later." Roy gave Midbus a strange look, conveying his unease.

"He could understand. He's good at that." was all he said afterward.
An enormous growl erupted from his stomach, causing his pink face to turn pinker. "Sense is for the weak, but the strong eat. That's a good sense."
