Kekcroc 4:Gods Plan

Journal entry 182: I found a weird  game on my doorstep.
Hey journal. So,something weird happened today. I was watching tv with my pregnant wife, Cidney, when the doorbell rang. I walked up to the door and opened it to no one. I called out, but still, no one was there. I looked down and there on the doorstep was a box. It was just a brown box taped up and everything. I wasn't expecting any packages so I was pretty shocked to see this. I asked Cidney if she ordered anything. She said no. I decided to open the box and found a sega genesis cartridge box. It was bright and colorful. It said,”Kekcroc”. I have never heard of this game before. It seemed very…weird I guess.
The box was very simple. It was a black background with a few images on it. I assumed the thing Kekcroc stood in the middle. He was a crocodile looking thing with a funny looking hat on. He had dark blue eyes and a very shiny look to his design. On the bottom, there it was:An official Sega mark. That means that this is an official Sega game. It sure didn’t look like an official Sega game.  It said,”A family fun experience,” in quotations, which meant someone else had said it about the game. It also said,”Rock around the croc!” on the bottom of the box. It said it was for the genesis. But there is one problem:
I don’t have a genesis.
Journal entry 183: I found a genesis at an old comic store.
Hey journal. So, I went to find a genesis at some random stores around town. I tried 4th Space Games, Kenny’s Game Emporium, and many others that were in a  2 hour radius around me to find a genesis. But then, right when I was about to give up, I found one more store. It was in the town I live in. I decided to take a shortcut home through a road I've never been through. That's when I noticed something odd. It was a comic store right next to two buildings called “Castle Comics.” I have never been down this road so that's probably why I never noticed it. 
I parked my car and went inside. It was barren and the lights were dim. There was some teenage kid at the desk. I walked up to the desk and asked him if they had any genesis’s. He said that they might have one in the back. He walked over to a door at the far back of the room and closed it behind him. I decided to take a look around the store. It was a small store, no people in sight. They had a huge rack of comics that I have never even heard of. In the far back of the room were some games. They had classics, like Metroid and Mario, but also random stuff I’ve never heard of, like something called Berserk and another called Polybius.
I heard the back room door open and the kid came out with a genesis box in his hands. He told me I was lucky, since this was his last one on sale. He said that people have been buying a bunch of old games and consoles to relive their childhoods or something like that. I was just happy to get the genesis. I paid for it and drove off. I haven't installed it yet, but I’m going to after work tomorrow. Well, wish me luck.
Journal entry 184: I got it working!
Hey, me again. I got my genesis working. It works great. I tested it with the game it came with, that being sonic. Today, I played the game. It's pretty simple, just some Mario clone. You play as Kekcroc and you have to save your girlfriend, Croctina, from the evil Toasty, an evil version of Kekcroc. He is a more yellow looking version of kekcroc with a green hat, almost an inverted version of Kekcroc. 
The game starts at level one:The crocodile plain. The movement was very smooth and fluent. Your main way of attacking wasn't jumping on heads, or shooting a projectile. But a toilet plunger. You attack with a cartoony toilet plunger. When I first saw it, I laughed out loud at the absurdness of it all.  The enemies were funny looking creatures, like a ball with legs, and a tree that spit out sap. Stuff like that. It was actually pretty fun. I got to the last level of the first world. The world boss was a giant dog. I have to admit, it kind of looked like my dog, skips.
I defeated the boss and won the first world. But I looked at the time and realized how late it was, so I decided to call it a night. Tomorrow I will beat the second boss.
Journal entry 185: My dog went missing.
Hey. Something really bad happened. My dog has gone missing. I woke up and tried to call for Skips but he didn't come. I called more. I started to get worried. I walked downstairs and saw my wife making breakfast. I asked her if she had seen Skips and she thought that he was still in the bed with me. So I went out to look for him, but nothing came up. I’m sorry this one is so short, but I really need to find my dog. I know I’ll find him.
Journal entry 186: I found the dog…
Holy shit. This is bad. I was cleaning around under the patio of my house when I felt a warm liquid. I looked at my hand and it was covered in blood. I looked under to find my dog. Well, his corpse. He was mutilated. Guts everywhere. His eyes had been ripped out by force, same with his organs. It looked like someone gutted him with a knife. 
I called my wife to tell her what happened. She went ballistic. She was crying,screaming, all that. I didn’t let her see the body. I had to bury the dog I’ve had for the last 4 years today. I swear on my life, I’m going to find out who did this and I’m going to beat the absolute shit out of him. 
Journal entry 187: I played the second world.
Well, I played the second world. This world was called, “Desert of the Dragon.” The levels were pretty normal until level 5, “Gold rush.” The level took place in a dark mine. Before the level, you grabbed a torch. You could only see about two in-game feet around you at a time. The rest of the level around you was just really dim. I made it to the end pole,but then, the pole fell over and the word run was at the top of the screen.
I started to waddle over to the right when a weird looking glitchy monster crawled out from under the ground and started to chase me with glitchy chase music and screams in the background. I made it to a hole in the ground and I jumped. I was teleported back to the overworld. But the overworld wasn't right. It was an all black screen with a level spot and Kekcroc standing on it. The level was titled, “Dragons den.”
I entered the level. It started with kekcroc falling down onto the ground from the top of the screen with an ouch sound effect for when he hit the ground. The screen was all black except for kekcroc on the bottom left,waiting for me to move. I walked to the right and the more I moved, the more light appeared.  A transition screen popped up and there it was, a red dragon sleeping.
Kekcroc grabbed his plunger and dropped it. The dragon woke up and boss battle music played with a boss bar on the top right of the screen. It was a big enemy. He took up a whole half of the screen. It took me a while to realize what I was supposed to do, but I figured it out. What you had to do was get on top of his head and plunger whack his eyes. After about half of his heath, it started to spit out little red lizards from its mouth. I had to kill them before I could attack the dragon. After it died, its mouth opened and an arrow pointed to the mouth of the beast. I went inside and it took me to a new overworld. The world was called: “Blood and guts.”
I was really tired so I thought I should get some sleep. Goodnight.
Journal entry 188: I was kidnapped.
Oh my god. I am so terrified. I was in my car,driving to work, when suddenly, a man in a weird looking green mask with a gun jumped in front of me. I stopped the car just in time not to hit him. He told me to get out of the car so I did with my hands in the air. He told me to stand still and not to move. I did what he asked and then nothing. I assume that someone behind me hit me with a bat or hard object because I blacked out.
I woke up in a dark room. There were lanterns on the sides of the room that barely lit up the place. In the front of the room however, shocked me to my core being. It was a shrine to Kekcroc. There were paintings and dolls and so much more just sitting on a rack of pedestals.
Then, the lanterns started to move. From the shadows,a bunch of people in green robes with green crocodile masks and yellow straw hats moved into the light of the shrine. But one guy stood out. It was one who walked out from behind me. He had the same outfit on as the rest, but his mask was golden. The guy with the golden mask walked up to the center and started to praise and pray to the shrine. I think I even heard him start to cry while up there.
After his praise was finished, He Turned around to face me. He started explaining to me why they kidnapped me. To them, they thought that one day soon, the world would end. They said that their prophet, a man named Landon Lee, had visions of god in his sleep. God took the form of a polygonal crocodile with a holy straw hat. He had four arms and was very shiny. God told Landon that the world would end in the year of 2025. It is June of 2024. God also said that Landon was the second coming of Christ and he needed to get followers to escape earth with. They think that they are going to a planet billions of light years away from earth called Crocidilla. But, he said that God told Landon one more thing. That being that if they don’t want the earth to be destroyed,they must form a new religion called Crociphoson. Then, they needed to make 10 sacrifices to God for the world to be saved. The man said they were at nine.
But the thing that truthfully scared me was what he said next. He said that they made a game about their god called Kekcroc. The game was made with dark magic and the life of a goat was taken away to make the game. The game is apparently different for every person who plays it.
The game was made to be a tracking device. When played, it informs the cult of where it was played and who has played it. I asked why he was telling me all this. He said that they were going to kill me, so it didn’t matter anyways.
The man grabbed out a strange looking knife out of his pocket and apologized. He said this was the only way to save earth. My hands were tied behind my back with rope and I couldn't do anything. But then, I got an idea. When he got close, I kicked him and he fell over. He even dropped his knife,which was a plus. I managed to break free from my restraints and ran off. They chased after me, but I got outside and hid behind a dumpster.
They didn't come out of the building. I waited like 45 minutes behind that dumpster to make sure that they were gone. Eventually, I got up and ran home. I told my wife what happened, and she told me to either sell, destroy, or get rid of the game. I told her I would do it in the morning, since it was such a long day. I went to sleep and I’m waiting to destroy that game tomorrow.
Journal entry 189: I saw what they were talking about in my dreams.
Ok, for one, I skipped work today. The wife is at work, and I didn’t tell her that I skipped work. But, that doesn’t matter. What happened while I was asleep blew my mind. I had a dream about that, “God” they were talking about. 
It took place in hell. There were people screaming everywhere and blood and guts were all over the ground and rock covered walls. Then, I looked behind me and I saw it, that monstrosity. It was a green, veiny thing. It had arms and eyes where they weren't supposed to be, no mouth, and a yellow straw hat. Then, it spoke to me. 
It said its name was Kekcrocotok and was the god of the realm we were in. I asked where exactly we were. It said they were in hell. It said that heaven and hell were real and I earned a place in hell. I yelled at the thing, and it told me that I ruined the ritual and it would be my fault that the world would end. I started to cry, but I was also frozen in fear. I tried to jump up to attack the thing, but it stopped me mid air by grabbing me. It then ripped my arm off. It was 7 AM by the time I woke up. I started to cry. 
Journal entry 190: I played the final world.
Change of plans. I grabbed the game out of my genesis and was about to destroy it, but I couldn't. There was something in my soul stopping me from destroying the game. So, I played it one last time. This time, I was going to beat the game. 
I put it back in the slot, and started my save file. I was on the first level of blood and guts, called, “Destruction.” The enemies were weird and not normal. They had multiple limbs, eyes, and other body parts. The first 4 levels were like this. That was until level 5. Level 5 was called, “The end.” The final level was a long hallway, dark for the exception of torches on the wall. I walked through a door and I saw the final boss: Kekcrocotok. It wasn’t toasty, but the thing I saw in my dream. It then screamed a glitchy scream and the final boss battle began. It was very difficult, he had a lot of health, but was also a very big target.
His attacks were very erratic, like flailing its many arms around and spitting out glitch balls. At about half heath, it smashed the floor and the second phase began. There were three petastools made out of floating rocks. Kekcrocotok stood covering the entire background. Eventually, I managed to defeat him and he died. The credits rolled and the game shut off by itself. I grabbed the game and put it in a box. I finally beat the game.
Journal entry 191: I killed my wife.
Oh my god, I don’t know what to do. We had an argument about how I kept the game. She pushed me, I got mad and I smashed her face in with a frying pan. There is blood everywhere. I can’t call the cops. If I do, I’ll get in serious trouble with them. So, I had to bury 2 of my loved ones this week, and it’s all because of that stupid game. I was just curious how it ended. All I wanted was to beat the game. I’m gonna play a few rounds of roulette. I’m sorry. I’m coming Cidney.
