| THE STORY THAT HAS ACTUALLY NEVER HAPPENED...BUT IT IS COOL |
| There was a beautiful day. Workers under tight control of Count Takeshi and his royal advisor Saburo Ishikura were working hard to build a castle for their lord. Finally, Takeshi's Castle was finished. The workers did a good job. The castle was a true work of art, and everything looked nice and perfect. But there was one man that also noticed how beautiful the castle was. That was the master of leadership, the wizard of tactics, a man of high morale, General Hayati Tani. He knew that with his skills, he might have a chance to conquer the castle. So, he started to gather volunteers that would help him conquer Takeshi's Castle. Takeshi was aware of that, so he started to put up his defenses that were pretty unusual. Since he was somehow addicted to fun, his idea was that every challenger must go through 9 funny and yet difficult games before directly attacking the castle. This strategy was good-every time, General Tani gathered more than 120 people, but the games reduced the numbers to less than 10. And those remaining had to confront the entire Takeshi's team. Not an easy task, General Tani experienced many defeats. Until one day... Things were going as usual, the success rate of the challengers was not above average. But, when those brave 7 people went into the battle, things changed. In the final battle, Takeshi has a special vehicle. If it gets hit, it is consdered to be eliminated and that means Takeshi has lost. And that is exactly what happened. From the beginning, it looked good for the Takeshi. 4 of the General's people and the General himself were eliminated. But, then we see a VOLLTREFFER! VICTORY FOR GENERAL TANI!. A direct hit from a challenger's laser gun eliminated Takeshi, the General and his army won, the castle was conquered!! Takeshi departed in shame, only his royal advisor and some loyal henchmen of his stayed with him, the others remained on the castle, but now their lord was General Tani. Takeshi started planning a counterattack. He was aware of the fact that it will be difficult, since the General could use Takeshi's own startegy against him. But after all, he had his loyal people that were wlling to do anything for their lord. So, Takeshi and his little army started attacking. Takeshi was right-the General did use Takeshi's own games against him. But the team spirit of Takeshi's group got them all into the final battle in front of Takeshi's...no, actually Tani's Castle. Anyway, if takeshi was to reclaim his lost posession, it would become Takeshi's Castle once again. The final battle was difficult. Only Takeshi (with his advisor Ishikura) and the General remained in the combat. And then it happened. Ishikura eliminated the General with a well-aimed shot and the General was defeated!! He swore that he would return with more volunteers, and do his best to conquer the castle once again. He continued his assaults. But even when he won, Takeshi remained the lord of his castle-one simple reason, the General preferred to be in action and not just sitting there, waiting for the final showdown. Another reason was that Takeshi's Castle became a very popular TV show. And so, the General's armies on one side and Takeshi's defense force on the other, continued to be rivals, but with a good reason-people like to watch those funny games that Takeshi thought up. LIKE I SAID, THIS STORY HAS ACTUALLY NEVER HAPPENED. IT WAS ALWAYS THE GENERAL WHO WAS ATTACKING. BUT I THINK IT'S COOL TO MAKE UP A STORY LIKE THIS, ISN'T IT? |
