I'm back and as promised, I will reveal the entire plot I planned for Nitro Mania 2.0!

Nitro Mania 2.0

The story begins with Starcade and the Retro Rebels hanging out at the Retro Rebels' arcade cabinet in Eitbit. While Starcade is playing a video game on her computer, her computer screen suddenly goes haywire. After the Retro Rebels claim that they are facing the same problem with their own gadgets, Starcade deduces that it must be another virus attack. To her surprise, it is revealed that it isn't merely a virus attack, but a full-out invasion of enemies from various games led by Starcade's evil doppelganger, Dark Starcade, who has retained her shadow powers from The Return of the Warlord. Before Starcade and the Retro Rebels can join the fight, Dark Starcade quickly stops them. Starcade demands Dark Starcade to stop attacking Eitbit at once, only for the latter to reveal that she is not the main mastermind behind the invasion. The real mastermind reveals himself to be Olympus, Starcade's archenemy formerly an Eitbitizen from a deleted game known as Lord of the Kings, also the previous bearer of the "Champion of Eitbit" title who once took advantage of that very title to bring Eitbit under his tyrannical rule.

Starcade is shocked upon realization that Olympus is still alive, since she remembered killing him by activating a bomb in Olympus's hands. Olympus then reveals that the explosion did manage to injure him, but it was not enough to destroy him completely. He knew that he was of no match for the Locked Room Gang, so he decided to escape Eitbit before the gang realized that he was still alive, and set up a civilization of his own next to Eitbit, known as Champion City. Starcade continues questioning Olympus, who reveals that he was also the one who is responsible for the frequent virus attacks that Eitbit has to deal with every now and then, and that his motive of his actions is to regain the "Champion of Eitbit" title so that he can rule it again, before further expanding his empire by invading other worlds. After he finishes everything he has to say, Dark Starcade defeats all the Retro Rebels but Starcade, before proceeding to hack through Eitbit's main database and steal the memories of all Eitbitizens but Starcade. He also turns Starcade into a glitch by deleting her database and transferring all the data to himself, making him not only an official Eitbitizen once again, but also the "Champion of Eitbit". Olympus then imprisons Starcade in another maximum-security cell in his castle at Champion City, before completing his invasion of Eitbit with Dark Starcade and seizing it as their territory. Not only that, the Retro Rebels also become Olympus' army and Dark Starcade is placed in charge of leading them while masquerading as "Starcade".

Meanwhile, in Echo Creek, everything seems normal for the Locked Room Gang. After checking on villain activity and realizing that the villains are currently not planning to attack, they decide to go on an adventure. As they are unable to decide where to begin their adventure, they receive a call from "Starcade" (who is actually Dark Starcade in disguise) who tells them that she has a surprise for them, as she claims that she and the Retro Rebels have been working on a "fun maze" game in an attempt to raise the gang's spirits after the gang has been dealing with a lot of villains lately. The gang are excited to try out, and "Starcade" tells them to meet her outside a large maze at the outskirts of Eitbit right next to Champion City (she won't mention Champion City though). Toby Topaz (or Star if Jelo plans to join the story) will cut open a portal to Eitbit. As soon as the gang enters it, "Starcade" will command the Retro Rebels to move out and start attacking Echo Creek to expand Olympus' empire.

The gang gathers exactly where "Starcade" told them. "Starcade" appears as a hologram, explaining that the goal of the game is that each gang member has to find the exit of the maze within an hour to win an all-known powerful object known as the Champion's Cup. Cheating by using their weapons/superpowers or failing to find the exit in time will result in a game over, although "Starcade" will not state what game over means. Before she closes the hologram, she says, "Resistant you stand, tempted you fall." Before the gang can figure out what "Starcade" meant, each gang member is then separated from one another as they get teleported to different starting points. "Starcade" proceeds to start the game, as each gang member tries to find their way out of the maze while avoiding the obstacles.

As the game progresses, the number of gang members will slowly dwindle due to appearing illusions that cause them to be tempted into losing their focus on finding the exit to the maze through invoking many different types of emotions such as happiness, anger, love, jealousy, etc. Soon, only Kyoji and Blue Ocean are left, who are the only two gang members who can see through the illusions as they are the only ones who remember what "Starcade" told them, "Resistant you stand, tempted you fall." After fighting through the remaining obstacles together, Kyoji and Blue Ocean manage to exit the maze together and are declared the winners of "Starcade's" game. Strangely, the two remaining gang members find themselves in a strange futuristic area, which is revealed to be Olympus' castle, although the two of them are unaware about that fact. Realizing that something is not right as the other gang members fail to show up and that the Champion's Cup is not present as "Starcade" said it is, Kyoji and Blue Ocean decide to split up and find the remaining members.

Both Kyoji and Blue Ocean encounter Space Invaders along the way and defeat them. Kyoji finds the real Starcade in her cell while Blue Ocean finds the rest of the gang members, who were trapped after falling for the illusions.

Meanwhile in the room Kyoji is in, Kyoji realizes that Starcade's maximum security cell is strangely open. However, due to Starcade still being a glitch, Starcade cannot escape her cell while Kyoji is able to enter and step out of the cell as he pleases. Kyoji asks Starcade why she is actually imprisoned while he saw Starcade hosting a game earlier. Starcade reveals that the "Starcade" they saw was actually Dark Starcade, who has worked together with Olympus to set up the maze as a deathtrap for the Locked Room Gang. Upon realization, Kyoji asks Starcade why she is unable to leave, to which Starcade explains that the cell is glitch-proof, which means that glitches are unable to escape the cell. Kyoji comes to the conclusion that the only way to free Starcade is to turn her back into a regular Eitbitizen, to which Starcade responds by saying that she can be free from being a glitch by winning against someone in an arcade game, although she won't regain the title "Champion of Eitbit" until she defeats Olympus himself. Kyoji proceeds to raid one of the store rooms and seize an arcade cabinet stolen from Eitbit. Knowing that Starcade has to win in order to be free, Kyoji deliberately loses against Starcade in a 2-player game, freeing Starcade from being a glitch. After a brief reunion moment, Starcade and Kyoji proceed to search for Blue Ocean and the other members of the Locked Room Gang.

Meanwhile in the room Blue Ocean is in, Blue Ocean notices "Starcade" inside watching over the trapped gang members. He asks "Starcade" the reason for her actions, only for "Starcade" to claim that the gang has attacked Eitbit once again and that she has sent her Retro Rebels to attack Echo Creek in exchange while she has distracted them into playing her game. "Starcade" continues to torment Blue Ocean and says that the Locked Room Gang is nothing but a collection of chess pawns that she can use at her own will, causing Blue Ocean to slowly lose his spirit. After a while, "Starcade" attempts to wipe out the gang members with a toxic gas but before she can do so...

Everyone sees Kyoji emerge with the real Starcade, who blows Dark Starcade's cover by revealing the truth over what happened. Blue Ocean, Kyoji and Starcade proceed to attack Dark Starcade, only for the latter to mercilessly retaliate, claiming that they have no chance against her without the help of the rest of the gang members. The three heroes will continue fighting Dark Starcade until the latter drops a remote controller. Starcade grabs it and proceeds to free the trapped gang members. Before the entire gang can pounce on Starcade, Olympus shows up with an army of Space Invaders with him. He reveals that he is in possession of the Champion's Cup the entire time and claims that only the Eitbitizen with the title "Champion of Eitbit" is able to possess it, and that the power of the Champion's Cup is able to make anyone extremely powerful. Olympus proceeds to use the power of the Champion's Cup to turn into Super Olympus.

The gang fights Super Olympus, only for the latter to easily overpower them despite being outnumbered. Realizing that the Champion's Cup is the key to Olympus's sudden transformation, Starcade deduces that the only way to turn Olympus back to normal and defeat him is by winning him in an arcade game. She proceeds to challenge Super Olympus to a match, who gladly accepts the challenge, as the gang fights Dark Starcade. Super Olympus warps Starcade into the Lord of the Kings arcade game, where Starcade faces a few other characters from the aforementioned game before facing Super Olympus himself. Despite being close to death, Starcade manages to beat Super Olympus and gets warped back to the real world while Super Olympus returns to being Olympus. Olympus also loses his title to Starcade, causing her to become "Champion of Eitbit" once again.

Starcade, who is still angry about Olympus messing with her friends, is about to activate the Champion's Cup, but something is holding her back. The other gang members, while still fighting Dark Starcade, persuades her to activate it but she refuses, as she reveals that while the Champion's Cup makes someone super powerful, it also makes him mentally insane while it is activated, which reminded her of the outcome after the last time she used the cup. Kyoji reassures Starcade not to worry about them and tells her the important thing is to do what is right. After gaining some more confidence, Starcade eventually activates the Champion's Cup by grabbing it, turning her into Super Starcade. Before Super Starcade begins attacking, she tells the gang to evacuate Olympus' castle, before releasing a burst of pixelated energy so strong that not only it defeats Olympus and Dark Starcade, it also destroys the whole of Olympus' castle, the maze and Champion City. It also restores the memories of the Eitbitizens, simultaneously returning the Retro Rebels to normal and stopping their attack on Echo Creek. As the gang watch Champion City crumble, they begin to wonder what happened to Starcade, as well as Olympus and Dark Starcade.

Just as the gang are about to go find Starcade, they see her still as Super Starcade, ready to attack the gang after having become too insane to differentiate her friends and her foes due to the influence of the Champion's Cup. Upon realizing the fact that the power of the Champion's Cup is influencing her, Kyoji leaps at Super Starcade and causes her to drop the Champion's Cup, returning her to normal. Starcade realizes that she has unintentionally tried to harm her friends and starts to freak out, only for Kyoji to calm her down and reassure her that she has helped the gang after all. After a Kyocade moment, Starcade decides to lock away the Champion's Cup so that no one shall possess it again, before helping the gang restore the damage the Retro Rebels unintentionally did to Echo Creek.

So that's the whole plot for Nitro Mania 2.0. What do you think?
