Marco Diaz Vs The World

Retry!

Chapter 13: Retry (Part 1: Learning From Your Mistakes)

(Disclaimer!)

Marco woke up in a strange desert scenery.

"Damn it," he said getting up.

Star appeared behind him.

"I'm sorry about this Marco," said Star, "This must really suck for you right now."

"You know what sucks worse than being killed?" asked Marco, "Being killed by that bastard. Why did it have to be him?"

"Its complicated," said Star.

"Well thanks to him I'm not going anywhere, so I think this'll be a good time to get into it," said Marco, "The truth about Tom."

"I was obsessed with Tom at first, but he was always turning his back on me," said Star.

She had visions of him in the past.

"When we dated, I felt more alone when we were together than I was on my own, so I had to leave," said Star, "That's when he started paying attention."

"So why go back to him?" asked Marco.

"Tom just... he has this way of getting into my head," said Star.

"Well, that's disappointing," said Marco.

"No Marco, he LITERALLY has this way of getting into my head," said Star.

She turned around and Marco saw some kind of chip on her neck.

"Whoa!" said Marco, "He really is an evil ex."

"He's like that," said Star.

"Well, I guess this sucks for everybody doesn't it?" he asked.

"I never wanted it to end like this," said Star, "I'm really sorry that I got you involved in this."

"Well, I really fought for you," said Marco.

"Maybe I'm not the one you should've been fighting for," said Star as she vanished.

"Wait.... I feel like I learned something," said Marco, "Which would be great if I wasn't dead!"

He fell on his knees.

"So alone!" said Marco.

"You're not alone," said Star.

The extra life he had appeared.

Time was being reversed.

Soon Marco saw himself seeing Ed naked again.

"TURN OFF THE LIGHT!!!" he said.

Marco turned out the light and closed the door.

"Can't believe I had to see that again," said Marco.

"Again?" asked Ed.

"Ed, on my journey from boy to man, I was given a calling that I was close to refusing, however you told me that if I want something bad, that I gotta fight for it," said Marco, "And I fought hard with a powerful sword, but I was ultimately defeated by my enemy, and now I have a second chance to set things right."

Jackie opened the door.

"Marco...." She was about to say but was interrupted.

"I know," said Marco, "Tom has an evil plot to use his exgirlfriends and place them in some kind of capsule erasing their memories and such, and he plans to give them all to the league of exes."
