Kevin begins to slowly open his eyes once again, and is met with a blinding light. The light fades slightly and Kevin, now with impaired vision, can barely make out someone standing mere inches from him. Startled, Kevin leans back quickly. "WHOA!!"
The Fuzzy figure begins to take shape. It appears to be a man, closely resembling Luigi, but his face is rounder. He's wearing all white. A white lab coat and bandanna with a bright light emanating from its center. He speaks in a familiar voice. "Sorry... I didn't mean'a to frighten you. Once we discovered a who you'a were, I wanted to give'a you a more suitable room. But'a I had to make'a sure that it was a'safe to move'a you first."
Kevin squints sharply as his vision slowly recovers to normal. "Who are you?"
The Man sheds his lab coat and bandanna, replacing it with a red hat. "Its'a Me... Mario!"
Kevin almost forgot... Still he remains in denial. "No... No your not." Mario just smiles. "Yes I am" Kevin shakes his head. "No.... I'm.... I'm.. Dreaming. YES, Dreaming!! I'm asleep, and this is all just a dream." Mario gives Kevin a questionable look, thinking he may be alittle unstable. "I don't... a'think so."
Suddenly a deep voice can be heard. it vibrates through the room and fills it completely. It is a wise sounding voice. "I'm afraid Mario is right my friend. This is not a dream. You are very much awake." Kevin looks around frantically, and begins pacing back and forth in the cell, afraid he's losing his sanity. "Great... Now I'm hearing voices. I'm crazy! I've lost it... My mother was right, one video game to many and I snapped. Why didn't I listen? I shoulda just...."
The voice interrupts his rant. "Kevin..."
Kevin's jaw drops as his eyes widen. "And.. It knows my name." The voice remains calm and soothing, as the cell door opens. "Come... I'll explain everything."

Kevin walks down a narrow street. No cars drive on the roads, but he didn't expect it. Still feeling very much like he was dreaming, but yet... He knew this world well. Mario walks next to him, and although he can't be seen. He can feel the presence of the voice that calls itself A.I to his left.
"So let me see if I got this right... This is the Video Game Universe, which used to be an OK place, but some new character, calling himself the Game Master, has found a way to unite all the villains of the game worlds. And you... "A.I" the overseer and protector, who basically controls and maintains the worlds used your power to Transport me from the real world to the game one. Just because... I'm good at games?"
The voice answers almost immediately. "It is more complicated than that. Yes your skills at gaming give you the ability to know your enemy and prepare you for the battle ahead. But your selection was anything but random. The game worlds can maintain themselves, but sometimes something destroys the balance. Thats when... Captain N is summoned."
Kevin looks over at the voice, even though theres nothing for him to see. "Captain N?"
"Yes... Captain N is a warrior of prophecy. The one chosen to defeat those that threaten our very existence. Captain N can not come from this world, for only an outsider can reset the game worlds. You... Are the chosen one. The warrior of Prophecy. The outsider that will become the savior of our lands. Kevin... You, are Captain N."
Kevin picks up the pace and looks from Mario back to the Voice. The area around the voice can now be vaguely seen as a swirl of brilliant colors. It appeared almost like... a galaxy. It swirled slightly and had a bright light at its center. "Whoa! hold on a second here... You've got the wrong guy. I'm no warrior. I'm just a kid who loves games that you zapped here by mistake."
The light in the center of the almost transparent vortex flashes slightly each time the voice speaks. "It was no mistake. You are of age, and you've already defeated some of our worlds most powerful and notorious villains." Kevin becomes slightly upset. "But those were just video games!"
"Its true, It won't be the same. The task laid before you is a dangerous one. Their numbers are great, but you won't be alone." Kevin stops walking for a moment. "I... won't?"
"No... Mario will accompany you, and you will find others as you make your way through the gaming verse." Mario taps Kevin on the elbow and punches his fists together. "Thats'a right. We's a gonna kicka some ass."
Kevin shakes his head, and continues down the path. "Great... My secret weapon is a short, Italian Plumber?... No offense, but the Mario franchise has always been a kiddy series."
A.I speaks louder. His voice is firm, but always seems soothing at the same time. "Listen very carefully Kevin. Your knowledge of the game worlds could be your best asset. But It could also become your worst vice. Don't make the mistake of thinking you know every character in this world, use your eyes. Not everything will be how you remember it."
Kevin thinks on those words for a moment. He glances down the path they walk on, and notices it ends at a large building just ahead of them. "Ok... But still.. There are some pretty powerful Game villains to choose from. Aren't they going to try and stop me from getting more help, especially if they believe I'm Captain N?"
A.I floats just ahead of Kevin now, and comes to rest at the door to the structure. "They do not yet know of your presence here, but It won't take long for them to hear word of your arrival. They will do whatever they can to stop you."
Kevin reaches the door and looks at Mario who motions for him to enter. "I have no abilities here, no powers. How am I to stand a chance in this world?" Kevin opens the door and steps in, as A.I floats in behind him. "On the contrary... You may have the greatest advantage of all."

Alex! (Golden Sun)
Alex, a Mercury Adept from Imil who is among Mia as the last living Mercury tribesmen, is widely interpreted by fans as the main villain of the Golden Sun series. An intriguing blend of bishônen characteristics and Machiavellian motives, Alex’s character is not outright evil, merely manipulative (He outright boasts his ability to discard people who are no longer “of use” to him late in the story). It is suggested in the Japanese version of Golden Sun that he was the apprentice to Mia's late father. He assists the effort to restore Alchemy and renew the world’s life force for the purpose of gaining ultimate power for himself once Alchemy is returned to Weyard, but his attempt for self-gain ultimately proves to be his downfall at the end of Golden Sun: The Lost Age.
Alex once lived in Imil as Mia’s apprentice, and both held the responsibility to act as healers and protectors of the populace. It is unclear what drove him to a strong desire for power and self-gain, but it is known that he encountered Saturos sometime after the incident at Vale and enlisted himself into his band of warriors that would aim to restore Alchemy to the world, at which point he clearly had his master plan already hatched: he would dupe Saturos and attempt to steal Alchemy-based power for himself at the location where Alchemy’s return would be initiated, the peak of Mt. Aleph. Thus does he abandon the life of a healer and betray Mia when he departs with Saturos.
Initially, all goes well as Alex helps Saturos, Menardi, and Felix raid Sol Sanctum and activate the Mercury and Venus Lighthouses, with Isaac’s party in hot pursuit to halt their objective. At the aerie of Mercury Lighthouse, Alex encounters Mia for the first time since he left. He seems only minimally disappointed when Mia expresses her contempt for Alex’s betrayal and apparent madness in assisting Saturos, and as he leaves with Saturos he leaves behing the message “Ah, well… I can’t stay the same Alex you knew forever…” When the Venus Lighthouse is lit, however, Saturos and Menardi are slain by Isaac’s party, and Felix takes on the new role as leader of the rest of the effort to break Alchemy’s seal. Alex decides to abandon Felix at this point and set out on his own, deciding to become a neutral party.
Alex’s self-prescribed stance as a neutral party who will assist those who aim to break the seal of Alchemy becomes apparent when he encounters Karst and Agatio and sees their vengeance against Isaac for the death of Saturos and Menardi. He leads the Mars Adepts to Felix in the seaside town of Champa, where Karst’s threats to Felix convince the latter to hurry up in his objective to light the remaining Lighthouses, which of course is what Alex would appreciate himself. Later at the Jupiter Lighthouse, when Karst and Agatio carry out their revenge upon Isaac, Alex notices that Felix certainly would rather save Isaac before lighting Jupiter, and that is why Alex appears before Felix and restores his health before letting him confront Alex’s supposed companion Karst. In helping Felix, Alex indirectly causes Jupiter’s activation sooner. When Karst takes the Mars Star and engages Felix in battle, Alex stops one side from slaying the other because, now that Karst and Agatio are the ones with the Mars Star, it is up to them to activate the final Lighthouse.
After a complex series of dramatic events and revelations among everyone else at the Mars Lighthouse, all four Elemental Lighthouses are now activated, and the process that returns Alchemy to Weyard begins in earnest. Alex scrambles to the top of Mt. Aleph and stands in the center of the forming Golden Sun’s stream of energy into Mt. Aleph, gaining bolstered Psynergy power and near-limitless life. At this point, ecstatic with his success, he throws mercy to the wind and attempts to summon a storm to attack Vale below as a test of his newfound power, but he fails, and the Wise One appears before him, stating that a side-effect the Wise One took long ago has caused Alex to gain most of the power of the Golden Sun but leaving a small portion of the power to the care of Isaac, in turn denying him full mastery of Alchemy's powers. Enraged by the Wise One’s deceitful ploy, Alex attempts to attack him with the Psynergy he has, but the Wise One renders Alex’s body immobile. Then the mountain and the landscape surrounding it begin to mutate and collapse due to Alchemy’s newly released influence, and Alex seems to disappear into oblivion.
