THE LEGACY OF SETH KILLIAN
- PlayStation All-Stars Fanfiction Royale
Arcade
Opening
Seth is driving home from the office of Santa Monica Studios when a newsflash appears on the radio with this message: "There is mysterious storm raging across the entire United States that seemingly came out of nowhere. What can merely be assumed as a child's fantasy come to life, the world is being overwhelmed by a storm of video game villains." Seth shuts off the radio and heads back to Santa Monica Studio, claiming that it's time for him to become an All-Star.
Rival
Name: Polygon Man
Reason: Polygon Man feels threatened that Seth is trying to take over the PlayStation Realm, and challenges him to a fight. Seth accepts the challenge and states that he will become the new final boss of PlayStation All-Stars.
Connection: Both are considered masters of PlayStation All-Stars. Polygon Man appears as the final boss, and Seth is the lead designer in charge of all DLC.
Final Boss
Since Polygon Man is Seth's rival, he does not appear as the final boss. Instead, Seth will fight all of the All-Stars and Stage Hazards.
Ending
After defeating the All-Stars, Seth returns to Santa Monica Studio. However, he is driven mad with power and opens the rift of space, bringing forth more and more video game characters to take over world, laughing maniacally as the world crumbles into nothing. He is then shown sitting on a couch while holding a PS3 controller, and is seen speaking to Omar Kendall, saying "And that's exactly why we can't add real people to All-Stars.", showing it to have been nothing but a fantasy.
