CHECKMATE is a dual-author, dual-thread pair of intertwined adventures with the same characters, same plot, but different perspectives (the villain's in Dark Version, and the hero's in Light Version.) MyifanW authors the Dark Version, while Yourself hosts the Light Version.

Plot[]

The Evil Overlord decides to rearrange his guest room in anticipation for a certain hero. The hero quickly dispatches the monsters in the room, so the Overlord casts him away into the future, before quite quickly taking over the world. Now bored, the Evil Overlord has teleported many heroes to a stadium, to see what will happen.

Characters[]

  • Evil Overlord - The evil protagonist of Checkmate, kicker of puppies, destroyer of worlds.
  • Slate Barbasol - The good  protagonist of Checkmate, sworn to fight evil and look really stylish.

Crossovers and Cameos[]

Plenty in the arena scene.

The clown in the first room looks like the redead clown from The Deadly Dance of the Scarecrow King.

CHECKMATE: The Dark Version is hosted by MyifanW. It is from the viewpoint of the Evil Overlord.

Plot[]

The Evil Overlord begins his day by rearranging his front room to dispatch any wandering heroes. He then creates his three minions and gets frustrated, and kicks a very cute puppy. While getting distracted by these activities, Slate Barbasol defeats the haunted washing machines and even scores some loot. To buy time, the Evil Overlord teleports him to whereabouts unknown. Eight years later, the Evil Overlord has conquered the world with ease, but wonders what on earth happened to Slate Barbasol. Desperately bored, he decides to summon an arena, to watch the mightiest heroes of the land get ripped apart.

Characters[]

  • Evil Overlord - The villain of both stories, the bane of puppies everywhere.
  • Mysterious Cloaked Figure - One of the Evil Overlord's henchmen. Mysterious, Cloaked, and possibly female.
  • Chad Wallace - Henchman of the Evil Overlord, he is a gangster with guns.
  • Jean-Pierre - The French Swordsman who is actually better at hand-to-hand combat than swordsmanship. The third of Evil Overlord's goons.

Tropes[]

You Know, For Kids! - The validity of this trope depends on how you feel about seeing puppies get kicked.
