Page 9: Let's Play Something Else

You have decided to attempt to escape from the game MCKids. This should prove quite a challenge, indeed. You sit down for a few minutes to consider how to perform such a feat. Somehow, through intense concentration and meditation, you are able to reach outside of the game with your mind and switch to the nearest game. The downside is that you were unable to see what game you picked.
As the game begins, it would appear that you have chosen Mike Tyson's Punch-Out. Suck! You never were very good at that game. You brace yourself and prepare to lose up front, like you always do, but before you can, you hear someone call your name. You look up and see nothing but a Duckbill Platypus.



He speaks again: "Master, whatever could you be doing here? Perhaps I made some mistake?"
He notices your look of utter confusion and asks what's wrong. You tell him that you have no idea what he's talking about and in a gesture of good will offer up your story of the past few days.
"Remarkable!" He exclaims. "It would appear that through switching to this game you have somehow managed to travel through time! Well, allow me to explain that in your future, you ally yourself with myself and The Grimace."
"You know of The Grimace!?!?!" you exclaim.
"Indeed, sire. I know of him well. As do you, in the near future. If you had not opted to transport yourself away from MCKids at that moment, you would have ended up being captured by The Grimace. Then he would challenge you to a fight to the death, and that is where I come into the picture. He challenges you in the Mortal Kombat II arena, and as you defeat him, you accidentally summoned my powers to perform the fatality. Following this, you allied yourself with the great The Grimace. Follow me and all shall become clear."
You follow The Platypus back into the real world where you meet The Grimace. The Platypus explains the situation, and as he is doing so, the future you approaches!
"Oh dear! What a dilema!" exclaims The Platypus. "It seems that we now have a duplicate copy of our protagonist! Whatever will we do?!"
Without a word, you pull a remote control out of your pocket and press the button. A loud explosion racks the building and when the smoke clears the future you is nowhere to be found.
You explain, "Years ago, I had a bomb implanted into my body for just such an occassion. Problem solved."
"But if you implanted it in yourself, why did it now affect..."
"PROBLEM SOLVED!"
Realizing that there is no sense in reasoning with you, The Platypus shuts his trap. Now that we've taken care of that gaping plot hole... sort of... you find yourself at a crossroads. So the question now is if you take The Platypus with you. 

Our adventure continues in Chapter 2...
