The Video Game Affair

Across the pixelated clouds, jumps a little man in red and blue.
He jumps hard and fast through the massive flood of mismatched minions. 
The only thing on his tiny mind is get the girl. 
Course this is not the first time he has to go rescue her. 

The hot-headed idiot who kidnaps her just doesn't give up 
And he just doesn't die, no matter how many times he is killed. 
Course in this world, everyone can be revived by colorful mushrooms of extra life.
The cruelty of the never ending reality for the little man in red and blue 
Has gotten close to driving him insane. 

Yet, he can depend on his brother and trusty pet to help sometimes. 
Thus, they keep his impending insanity at bay. 
Thankfully, this rescue mission his brother in green and blue 
Meets up with him so that they can fight the minion of the hot-headed idiot. 

Together, they fight through them till they make it to the castle.  
Lava steams all around them as they sneak in. 
Together the little man in red and blue and his brother in green and blue,
Work to defeat all the opposition that they come upon. 
To avoid letting the hot-headed idiot know they had arrived, 

They scurried into the vents, using their small size to their advantage. 
Shortly thereafter, the plopped outside of the hot-headed idiot's throne room. 
Quickly, they threw the throne room door open, 
Expecting to see the girl all locked up and guarded by his magicians. 

To their gut-stabbing surprise, the saw the girl in a tender embrace and
Locking lips with the hot-headed idiot on his throne. 
The hot-headed idiot and the girl quickly let go of one another. 

The girl tried to fix her crown and smooth her ruffled dress.
The hot-headed idiot quickly smoothed out his scales. 
The little man in red and blue simply stood aghast by the sight. 
The brother in green and blue copied what his brother did. 

The hot-headed idiot spit out flames at the brothers. 
The heroes jumped out of the way and snapped into action.
Having had much practice at fighting him, 
They managed to pin the hot-headed idiot down rapidly. 

The girl ran towards them and threw herself on the idiot. 
The heroes backed up frustrated that they hadn't seen this coming. 

A speech bubble popped up over the girl, 
"Just go!" Read the large, black words. 

The little man in red and blue and his brother walked out of the room,
Then out of the castle completely unopposed by minions. 
And together they hopped on the pixelated clouds 
Until they arrived at their humble home.
