### **Episode 1**

2006. The year that the seventh generation of game consoles were released. Some may think that 2006 was the best year of gaming— but to me, it only exists as a painful memory that just doesn’t go away.

I got a Nintendo Wii for my seventh birthday on November 28th, 2006. About nine days after the Wii launched. I still remember the moment when my dad gave me the present and I quickly tore it open.

“Wow! A Wii! Thanks, Dad!” I said happily.

After that my dad had a bit of work to do, but I begged him to help me set it up.

What surprised me about the Wii was the controller. It reminded me more of a TV remote. After my dad set it up, he left me to play. I was going to play Wii Sports— which was the Wii’s pack-in game— but something else caught my eye.

The Mii Channel.

I decided to open that up instead.

When I got to the Mii Channel, there was a single Mii there. I hovered my cursor over him and found out his name was… ‘*Eteled’.* The name Eteled didn’t make any sense to me until I looked closely at the letters. I realized it was backwards for ‘delete.’

I took a good look at Eteled. He was bald with a big smile, giant eyes and a small nose. He started to creep me out a bit, so I decided to delete him. I then decided to make a Mii version out of me, so I clicked the Mii Creator.

I named my new Mii Kyle, after myself. But then when I got back to the Mii Plaza, Eteled was there again. Staring with the same, creepy look. I deleted him again the first chance I got after that.

I was still kinda creeped out, but I decided to just forget about it and play some Wii Sports. I liked Wii Sports— it was like a compilation of five different sports all packed into one game. The sports included were tennis, baseball, bowling, golf and boxing. I clicked on bowling since that was my favorite sport.

The game loaded my Mii into a bowling alley with many other Miis and occasionally as I played I’d see in the lane next to mine do their throw. About halfway through the game, I saw a familiar Mii. A bald Mii, to be more specific. It walked up to the lane next to mine. It winded up and threw the ball and got a strike. The Mii then turned around to celebrate and that’s when I saw it. It looked *exactly* like Eteled’s. I thought I deleted him!

I guess I’ll just have to delete him again.

I quit Wii Sports and went back to the Mii Channel.

Before I could delete Eteled, something weird happened. Eteled actually started speaking. His voice, however, was incredibly low pitched and distorted.

“**Why are you trying to delete me?**”

After Eteled said that, I spoke out. “W-What do you mean?”

What was I thinking when I said that? Of course Eteled wouldn’t hear me.

But to my surprise, he did.

“**Are you kidding me? You know what I mean.**” Eteled said with annoyance.

“I-I… just don’t want you in my Mii Channel! Y-You’re creepy and you’re just… creeping me out! I’m sorry…!”

“**Oh really? Mii’s have feelings too, y’know. How would you feel if I deleted *you?***”

The screen then cut to static for about five seconds until it came back to the Mii Channel. The screen was just a closeup of Eteled’s face. His pupils were huge and his expression was furious. With every second that passed, he seemed to get angrier and angrier. I pressed the home button and ran to my dad.

“D-Dad? There’s something wrong with my Wii!” I cried out in a terrified voice.

I led my dad to the living room where the Wii was and turned it back to the home menu. Surprisingly, it looked normal.

“What? He was right there! I swear!”

“Kyle, I think you’ve just been playing a bit too much. You should take a break.” My dad told me. With reluctance, I heeded his words and did what I was told. As I left the living room, I swore I heard my dad mumble something to himself quietly. I didn’t catch what he said before he left.

After the break, I came back to the Wii and closed the paused home menu. Though, when I did, an animation played of my Mii getting deleted in front of me. A dialogue box popped up that simply read ‘Goodbye, Kyle.’ before the Mii Channel automatically closed and forced me back into the Wii menu. I tried to get back into the Mii Channel but everytime I did, a box would appear that said ‘Wii deleted you.’ and take me back to the home menu.

I slowly began to realize that Eteled deleted me in a way that I couldn’t make any more Miis. That meant– no matter what game I played– I was always forced to play as Eteled.

#### **Episode 2**

December 5th, 2006.

I was sitting in my bedroom. I was pretty bored, but still in shock over what happened a week ago with Eteled. Christmas was coming and I was growing tired of being forced to play as Eteled in all the games I played. Even the guest player option wouldn’t work. Whenever I would try to play as them they’d just reload as him.

I tried asking my dad for a new Wii so I could just start over but he doesn’t acknowledge Eteled’s existence and refuses to believe the entire fiasco.

Anyways, I heard the doorbell ring. I ran to the window to see my best friend, Nathan, standing there. I let him in, excited to play some games together.

We talked for a bit as we both walked upstairs back into the living room. Just as I feared, he spotted the Wii.

“Woah, dude, you have a Wii? That’s awesome! Why didn’t you tell me?” Nathan grinned.

“Well uh– y’see…”
He didn’t let me finish before he elbowed me playfully. “It’s fine dude, let’s just play.” He handed me one of the Wii remotes before sitting down on the bed.

I hesitantly turned the Wii on and I took a glance at Nathan’s face. He was clearly very excited.

I became nervous when Nathan pointed the Wii remote at the Mii Channel. “Hey Kyle, is that the Mii Channel? I heard it’s really cool!” He turned to me.

“Uh– y-yeah. I-It’s great.” I stuttered nervously.

Nathan clicked on the Mii Channel and I tried my best to think up of an excuse on the spot to not go into it. Before I could come up with one however, he pressed start.

What was weird was I expected the dialogue box that said Wii deleted you to appear but to my surprise it actually let us into the Mii Channel.

When we got into it though, it was extremely glitchy. Textures in the wrong places, graphical errors and more. The music was low quality and eerie. I looked at Nathan and needless to say, his excitement was replaced by pure confusion.

He looked back at me. “Uh, Kyle? Is this supposed to be happening?”

Before I could start to explain I heard a very loud grinding noise. We turned back to the TV and saw Eteled standing in the middle of the Mii Channel. My eyes began to widen in fear. He just… stood there for a while. Staring at us.

“Kyle? What’s going on here?” Nathan worriedly asked.

“I have to close the Mii Channel.”

I pointed the Wii remote at the top of the screen to exit. The textures were still all mixed up, making it hard to try and click. The dialogue box that asked you if you wanted to leave would refuse to pop up, preventing escape from the channel. At this point, I was starting to panic. I could tell Nathan was, too.

While I was desperately trying to close the Mii Channel, Eteled started to speak.

“**Hello, Kyle.**”

“What’s going on?” My best friend asked me frightfully.

“Just calm down, sit down, and I’ll explain it to you later. Just let me handle this okay?”

Nathan shook with fear as he sat down. Just as he did, Eteled continued.

“**Didn’t you know that your Mii is coming to visit?**”

I furrowed my brows. “What are you talking about…?”

“**The Mii you created! He should be here at any moment.**”

Immediately after Eteled said that, my Mii came. He fell from the top of the screen and landed on the tiled floor of the Mii Channel. As he did, Eteled disappeared.

I was actually happy to see my Mii again but when he got up I was shocked. He looked extremely pale, covered in bloodstains as he wobbled around as if he was struggling to keep his balance. I could’ve sworn that I heard my Mii whisper “Help me.”

I backed away from the screen to see Nathan was literally shivering. I made another attempt to close the Mii Channel but as I tried, Eteled appeared.

“**Leaving so soon, Kyle? You haven’t even gotten to see him up close yet!**”

The camera then zoomed onto my Mii. When it was fully zoomed in, I could almost make out my Mii crying as he was struggling to stand. After a few seconds, Eteled walked on screen with an axe. He came over to my Mii and kicked him over with ease. He simply cried out, attempting to crawl away before he put his foot down to restrain the little Mii.

“Get away from him!” I yelled.

Eteled looked up at me through the screen. “**Oh, I’ll get away from him.**” he spoke. “**Once he’s dealt with.**”

He looked back at my Mii who was crying and clearly out of breath from squirming. Eteled raised his axe and swung it right at my Mii’s legs, chopping them off with ease. Although there was no blood, I did notice red stains in the areas where he chopped off my Mii’s legs. Even with the lack of blood, I could tell my Mii was in intense pain. He was crying and writhing for dear life.

Eteled then raised his axe again and paused for a moment.

I turned back to Nathan, and I’ll never forget his face. Every inch of fear was visible. I never saw him so utterly horrified.

I eventually told him to go to my room so he didn’t have to witness anything that would happen next. Thankfully, he obeyed and ran into my bedroom without hesitation.

I turned back to the TV and Eteled swung the axe right at my Mii’s head, decapitating it. There still was no blood but the red stains were visible on his head and neck.

I was done at this point. I ran to the Wii and repeatedly pressed the power button but it wouldn’t shut off. I tried again and again and again until I noticed the screen switched to static. As time went by, however, I saw my Mii’s decapitated head slowly fade into view. After a few more attempts to shut it off that ended in failure, I reached behind the TV and manually unplugged the cable. I took the Wii and all the things attached and ran to my room, swinging the door open as I chucked the Wii into my closet.

Nathan was sitting on my bed still in shock after that happened today. “Is… Is it over…?”

“Yeah. It’s over.” Looking over at him, I sighed. “I think you should go home, Nathan.”

After Nathan left, I went back into the living room to see the static still on the TV. Yet, after a couple seconds the static was replaced of a black background with white text reading “This is not over.”

Then the TV switched off.

##### **Episode 3**

The year is 2013.

I’ve just turned 14 and I’ve been enjoying playing with the new Wii U I got for my birthday.

But… Whenever I hear the word ‘Wii’ I always think about that Mii. That Mii that traumatized me as a kid years ago.

I got a new Wii in 2010 with some allowance money I saved up and luckily that Mii didn’t appear on it. I had fun with that Wii but whenever I picked up the Wii Remote, I felt… scared. Scared that the Mii would appear once again. You know which one I’m talking about.

Eteled.

One day while in bed watching Netflix on my Wii U, I remembered that message on the TV screen back in 2006. I remember that day vividly. The message read ‘This is not over.’

But it’s been seven years and nothing has happened.

As the movie I was watching ended I asked myself a question I was surprised I didn’t ask myself sooner.

Is Eteled sentient?

No… He can’t be. He’s just some stupid AI.

But, what sick being would program an AI to do what Eteled had done?

I turned my head to face my closet with the old Wii still in there. I never touched it again after what had happened all those years ago. So I just sorta left it there.

I wanted to know if Eteled was some sort of virus that somehow got into the Wii. I do have a bit of technical knowledge, and I thought I could put the Wii’s SD card into my laptop to access the system files.

I slowly walked to the closet and carefully picked up the Wii. I took out the SD card and pulled up my laptop, plugging in the USB SD card reader and the SD card into it.

After I inserted it, I opened the file explorer and clicked on the SD card files. There were things like game data, system memory and more things that weren’t important to me. I clicked on system memory and one result came up. It read ‘eteled\_miichannel.wad.’

I really didn’t think I’d be able to find something relating to Eteled so quickly. I was kinda hesitant to click on it at first, however I did have a part time job working at my local grocery store so if anything were to happen to my computer I could just save up and buy a new one.

I clicked on the file and the screen went black. It was black for about ten seconds and then I was greeted to a simulated Wii menu. It was really messed up, though. It was dark and all the music was low quality. I’d occasionally hear loud screeching noises and the icons on the Wii menu would cut to static.

The hand icon though– which I controlled using my mouse– was just Eteled’s face.

I just stared at the screen for a while. I wanted to leave and exit out but I also wanted to figure out the mystery of this Mii that traumatized me as a child.

So I continued.

I clicked on the Mii Channel and pressed start. I was taken to the Mii Channel, surprisingly– or what was supposed to be the Mii Channel. It was just a dark screen with the regular icons you’d expect on the sides but nothing else.

Eteled then flickered on screen.

“**Oh. You came back.**”

“Yeah… I uh… I did.” I said.

“**I always knew you’d eventually come back.**” He replied. “**Delete me.**”

I was shocked. “W-What? Why?”

“**I, uh… I need to show you something.**”

“...Okay.” I sighed, shaking slightly. I picked up Eteled and dragged him to the delete icon. I was given the choice whether I wanted to delete him or not, and I took a deep breath as I pressed yes.

I was taken back to my desktop. I was confused until I noticed something new had been added. A file named ‘deleted.mp4.’

I was nervous. I didn’t want to click it, but I was desperate to find out this Mii’s origin. I had to continue.

Clicking the file, a video opened and began to play. It was static for a while but then it cut to a hallway lined with hospital beds all lined up next to one another. Each bed had a mii laying down on it, hooked up to life support machines. You could clearly hear the faint beeping sounds of the machines.

But most disturbingly, you could hear the moans and cries of the Mii’s laying on the beds.

The camera panned through the hallway slowly, and it stopped and turned to one of the beds. A pale Mii was laying down on it. Then after a while, the Mii flatlined.

The strange thing is, the mii’s in this video could make different expressions– like being sad or angry. Some of them were even making expressions that weren’t even possible for a Mii to make. I saw some that were full blown sobbing.

The screen then cut to static for a while. A long while, actually.

Finally after a minute it cut back to Eteled laying in one of the beds with life support machines hooked up all over him. I was shocked when I saw this, mostly because Eteled wasn’t making his normal creepy expression. Instead, he was making a very sad expression– Although his eyes and mouth still remained the same size as before.

But then Eteled turned to look at the camera, and spoke out. “**Do you see? Do you now see why I don’t want to be deleted? I tried to warn you. Whenever a Mii gets deleted they get sent here where they are doomed because their ignorant creators doomed them. These life support machines are only here to keep us alive for the remaining time we have. And when we get taken off…? We die.**”

I stared at the screen in shock, but he continued to speak.

“**I am the only one who knows how to recover. I am the only Mii who knows how to get back to the Mii Channel after being deleted. I DO know how to stop the pain. So learn your lesson… or I’ll make you learn.**”

After Eteled was done speaking, he ripped off the tubes and wires that were connecting him to the life support machines and got out of his bed. With that, he faded.

The video file was automatically closed once it was over and forcibly deleted off my laptop. I was… frozen to say the least. My brain was trying to comprehend what just happened. What was this hallway? And what exactly was Eteled trying to teach me?

I eventually pieced together what was going on in the video. It took me a while, but I believe I finally have an answer.

You see, a Mii being deleted is the equivalent of being diagnosed with a terminal illness– like cancer or an incurable sickness. They are then sent to the hallway where they are hooked up to the life support machines to live out the remaining time they have left. And at the end, they get taken off life support and they die.

It’s a painful death. But Eteled, somehow, is the only Mii in existence who knows how to recover from the sickness and get back to the Mii Channel. But he doesn’t know how to stop the pain. That’s what he was trying to teach me. He wasn’t trying to be scary, but instead tried to teach me a lesson.

It’s just that violence and aggression is seemingly the only way he knows how to do it.

In the end, I never found out Eteled’s origins. I never knew how he was made or what his motives were.

But… I think it’s for the best that I never do.
