At the first level, Michelle fought the monsters as they came, not worrying too much about the outcome of her journey. She had a good weapon. Not a sword, but a boomerang, Network Spinal Analysis could be hurled at the monsters and knock them down fairly easily.
Michelle gained power and felt pretty good after slaying the first boss who went by the name of Jos. is Dead.
Then she was given a sword. Family Secrets was its name. On this level, she found many hidden scripts that helped her put the story of her adventure in perspective. The monsters were uglier and meaner, still she managed to reach the final boss and defeat him. That boss was named Illegitimate Child.
Then she was told about a better and bigger sword. Homecoming was its name. But this sword had to be bought. She paid a great price for it (all of her resources were drained) and she had to learn how to wield it, as it was heavier than the others and tricky to use.
In order to get to the final boss, Michelle had to unravel the secret of Homecoming. She went in search of its origin and found that her journey would ultimately lead her to do battle with an incredible monster. He had taken over the Kingdom of Micha and held its princess captive in a dungeon where he tormented her with the many demons under his command. He was difficult to find and she would have to uncover several drawings that, put together, were a map to where she was to find him. Frightened by what the drawings were showing, she often retreated to some of the places she was familiar with, to gather her courage and to hone her skills.
Eventually, she made her way to the dark forest and there found the entrance to the demon’s lair. She soon found out that the way to the place where the final boss was hiding was a labyrinth. It contained many traps and there were more monsters to fight than ever. However,
Michelle had a fairy or two with her and she was revived several times after heavy battles against hideous monsters and many ghosts.
At one point, she found a fountain. There she rested and had a wonderful dream. When she awoke, she discovered that another sword had been laid at her side. She picked it up and found it to be a marvellous weapon.
Lost in the labyrinth, there was no way out other than through the maze. Now, she had the most powerful sword of them all. It shone in the dark and it could detect any monster, no matter how small or how big. She liked this sword best of all. She read the runes running along its fine blade. It was called The Twelve Stages of Healing.
It helped her orient herself as she moved deeper into the maze. The sword shone brightly and showed her every hidden door and every secret turn of the maze.
She was fearless. She moved toward the big boss, certain that she would defeat him. When she entered its cave, she could smell him but she could not see him. He was laughing and taunting her. She stood firm, confident in the abilities that she had gained on her journey and liking the feel of the sword in her hand — the sword shone at its brightest as she moved from place to place, searching every corner of the lair. She was positive she would flush him out, but there was a trap door that she did not see. She fell through, and crashed to the bottom.
There, waiting for her in all his hideous evil, was the big boss’s twin.
Bigger than the other, he swooped down upon her and felled her. She could not fight this new monster. She had concentrated all of her energies on defeating her grandfather; she was powerless before his double.
She was unprepared. She had no weapon against him. He struck her one more time. Too late, she realized she had come into the maze without a shield. Her sword was shattered and she swooned and fell to the ground. Far away she heard a little girl crying. She had failed in her quest to save the Kingdom of Micha. As she lay there, defeated, the last little piece of heart that she possessed turned to stone.
