Pokey yawned. It had been a long day of enslaving a new dimension and freezing the stupid rebels in carbonite. He rubbed his eyes, thinking about the revolt he had just destroyed, all those screaming people. It’s a shame that they were so easy to put down. Being ruler of everything starts to get a little boring after a while.
After that stink head Ness beat him and killed Giygas, Pokey decided to go around the dimensions and rule everything. Pokey smiled and looked out the large window of his new self-appointed castle. It looked like it was time to meet his new subjects. He walked to his balcony and smiled down at the people below. Maybe he could find some entertainment here.
“Hello!” he yelled, “I am your new king!”
There was some mumbling among the crowd, but Pokey knew that they would warm up eventually, but just in case, he had to “encourage” their loyalty.
“I want you to feel comfortable, so I will let you give me something!” He said, “Send up your fastest worker!”
Pokey had to strain his eyes, but he saw a girl walking through the crowd and up to his castle. He was happy that they decided to listen to him. When she finally got up to him, he got a pretty good look at her, and he didn’t like what he saw. She was pretty puny.
She looked about his own age, how could this be their fastest worker? Pokey gave her a once over and sneered. Clearly they had cheated him. But he had to be sure.
“Are you really the fastest worker?” he asked.
She huffed, and then said, “Everyone else has already left the village, or was killed in the rebellion. The people that are left are either old, children, or handicapped.”
“Man!” Pokey said, “This’s not what I had in mind.”
She held her arms out to the side and said, “Well, that’s what you get.”
This girl was interesting, usually, the girls who are sent up are scared, but she was just smug. Pokey decided to keep her, “What’s your name?” he asked.
“Polly,” she said.
From then on, Pokey and Polly would live alone in the castle. Pokey would have Polly clean and cook for him, do his laundry, and pretty much any other chore. Each day, Polly would get a little less distant. Each time, she would say a little more at dinner, and they would talk to each other, sharing dreams and wishes.
Pokey was really enjoying himself. The idea of staying in this dimension crept up a few times. He would sit with Polly and they would talk. Way more than that idiot Ness ever did. Pokey was starting to enjoy himself a little more.
Years passed, every few often, Pokey would think about starting his quest to rule everything again, but each time, Polly would come in and they would talk. He would soon forget the idea and get lost in the moment.
It took him a while, but Pokey finally decided what to do. He was going to stay and live with Polly. He came to the breakfast table, ready to tell her, but she wasn’t there. He ran through the house, calling for her, but there was no answer, just the sound of his own voice echoing off the walls. He ran outside, still calling, but she was nowhere to be found.
When he was about to give up, he heard Polly calling him from the balcony in the castle. Pokey ran to the top floor, joy in each step, but when he reached his room, all joy faded. As he walked in, the door was shut behind him.
Blocking his escape was one of the men from the rebellion. He was holding Polly with his hand over her mouth; her voiceless screams filled Pokey’s ears. The man stepped forward and two mere rebels stepped up beside him.
“Time for you to leave,” he said.
“Yeah, time to leave,” the guy on the right said.
The leader smiled, “I’m Butch, the one on the right is Biff, and the one on the left is Ben.”
“What do you want?!” Pokey said.
“I think I was pretty clear,” Butch sneered.
“Yeah, he was clear,” Biff said.
“He said to get out,” Ben said.
“And if I don’t?” Pokey asked.
Butch laughed. He pulled out his gun and pointed at Pokey. He handed Polly to Ben and began counting, “3…2…1…”
The next few seconds happened slowly. Pokey heard Ben yell “Ouch! She bit me!” Then he heard a gunshot and felt a warm object crash into his arms. He looked in horror at Polly. She had taken the bullet for him and now she was dying in his arms.
Pokey couldn’t help but to cry over the girl in his arms.
Polly smiled up at him weakly, “Don’t cry,” She said, “I’ll always love you.
“Poor Ms. Anna,” Butch said, “but this doesn’t mean anything different, we still want you gone!”
As she died in his arms, Pokey just let the tears flow. Why did she do it!? The porky bots are way faster than a bullet, they could have stopped it. Then he lost it. More. He first called in his porky bots to get rid of the three nuisances. He sent out his porky bots and laid waste to the whole world.
As he left the dimension, he vowed never to be so weak again.
