This story is on Etrian Odyssey Untold's classic mode (I mean it's a mixture of story and classic, or something like it) and not the original game. I would love to hear your advice. I have the main story planned out, but I'd really would appreciate it if you gave me some requests.

"All aboard!" The train was leaving its station. Solly sat was solemnly gazing out the window. Solly was a shy pink-haired girl planning to head to Etria. At this point the sky reflected her mood;it was and there was a high chance of flooding. Outside the window, there was brunette girl in eastern clothing running up to the back of the train. Solly sighed and pulled out her ticket just so she would prepared for it to be punched.

She started to wonder about irrelevant things. She remembered the fun times she had had in her hometown of Tharsis. She slowly turned to her left. There was one lonely seat. Why did this remind Solly of herself? They were both cold, empty ,and alone. Solly did not know why she was comparing herself to a chair, but she oddly continued. They were both lacking something. That something being a purpose. Solly was engulfed in her sorrow that she honestly felt like she was chair.

She was finally broken out of her stupor when the girl from earlier sat in the chair. Did that mean something? Solly doubted the thought. Solly briefly examined the girl. She appeared to be a Ronin. She was armed with a golden katana. She wasn't very tall either. She had an abundance of flowers in the side of her hair. The girl wore a bland expression until she laid eyes on Solly. Her face then quickly molded itself into a grown.

"Do you need something?" Her voice was almost womanly,but had the sound of child's voice. It was weirdly high pitched, but mature. Her voice was lower than what Solly had expected.

"What?! No... I..." Solly shook her head. She pointed to the katana that the girl held. "I'm not sure if you're supposed to have that out like that..." Solly felt bad while staying that. She even felt hypocritical about it, but she was hiding hers.

"I don't see a problem with it. Why would I show my weapon if I intend to do harmful things?" The girl crossed her arms.

"Well, I didn't mean that..."

"I'm not putting it away unless someone of higher authority tells me to."

"I was just trying to help..." Solly whimpered. She couldn't stand people at times. She furrowed her brow and turned to her right. At least she could look out the window. All she could see now was the blurred image of the plains and trees they were passing. She found it soothing. She peered out at the lakes and rivers that they were passing. She was feeling better, but she couldn't bring herself to smile. She felt something warm on the back of her head. She turned around to see the girl in her face.

"Excuse me?" Solly uttered.

"I've heard of people like you. What were they called?" The girl stared at Solly for a split second. "That's it! You're introverted!"

"Please stop..."

The girl stuck out her hand in Solly's direction. "The name is Hina. Hina Kakasei to be correct. Call me Hai."

"Kakasei? Isn't that the strongest family in the east?!" Solly screeched.

Hina laughed."I guess you can say that." The girl put the katana she had next to her in the seat. Another girl looked over from her seat. She was a seat ahead of Hai. She was serene until she saw Hai's weapon. The girl had purple eyes and brown hair. She was wearing a red cape and a green cap. She had a rather anxious expression.

"What do you plan on doing with that?" The girl asked. "A sword like that is dangerous. Especially in the hands of a murderous Kakasei." Hai proceeded to eye the girl.

"Who do you think you are?"

"Kara." She retorted.

A blonde girl with a white lab coat walked in. "My name is Cindi, and I'm here to punch your tickets. I can also put away excess luggage." She saw the looks of dismay on Hai's face and went deal the situation. Kara grew a smug look on her face as Cindi approached.

"Can you tell this bloody Kakasei to put this sword away?" Kara sneered.

"No, I am not putting it away." Hai replied to the question that wasn't directed to her.

"A Kakasei, Hm...? It is rare for any of you to leave your eastern homeland. Why are you headed to Etria?" Cindi grew a smile.

"The Radha Hall called me in for reasons I can't explain in public."

Cindi nodded. "I see. I have a cousin in Etria. I'm going to help him with the clinic there. Today is my last day working for this company... I might explore the Yggdrasil labyrinth myself, but I find it dangerous and pricey. And I'd have to buy new armor."

"New armor? What about weapons?" Solly inquired. Cindi went quiet.

"What about Kakasei's weapon?! I don't like it out like this!" Kara pouted like a kid.

Cindi turned toward Kara and beamed. "Do you see that katana anywhere?"

"Where'd you put it! That katana is my family's most prized possessions!"

"Oh, relax. It's in the compartment above your head. I locked it, and I'll unlock it after the trip."

"Good." Kara sounded more than satisfied. "Thanks."

Solly sat still for a few moments. She began to ponder about the whereabouts of her family. She had relatives in the Armoroad branch of a guild called RAGNAROK and an aunt in the Tharsis branch. Her aunt had disbanded the guild. So she was mainly thinking about the two in Armoroad branch. Her great aunt and her cousin were in Armoroad. Solly's thoughts shifted to Hai's family. Why would they send her to city by herself? Solly knew why her family split up. They all went to explore different labyrinths. They all just joined separate parts of the same guild. Why would they send Hai to Etria with no one to work with?

Solly heard Hai wince. Solly assumed that Hai did that because she was bickering with Kara. She continued her daze. Solly had suddenly realized something. She had never thought of how the guild RAGNAROK would react to her request to join. She wondered about her adventure, and what it would be like. She could only imagine the whole thing. She had hoped that she wouldn't be as introverted when the entire thing ended.

Solly heard the sound of people. Screaming people. Solly snapped of her thoughts to an eyesore of a show. Kara held Hina by her hair, and two men were holding Cindi back. All of the passengers were panicked. Kara was still wearing that look of achievement. Kara did that on purpose. Hina looked up at her while struggling slightly.

"What are you doing?!" Hai shouted.

"Oopsie, have I forgotten to explain myself?" She sounded insane. "This is a robbery."

"What?!" Hai hissed.

Cindi grimaced. "So, you are Kara of the Dominion? I knew the resemblance was too close." Cindi spat out in a venomous tone.

"Yeah, that's me! If it weren't for you... I wouldn't have been able to initiate my plan. With Kakasei's weapon and all." She spoke boastfully.

Solly felt disgusted. The Dominion wasn't good news. The Dominion was the pirate group that originated in the southern seas,but over time they grew into a worldwide terror. They were led by the pirate Blackbeard. And the Dominion had the insatiable desire for domination. The more they took, the more they wanted.

Solly pulled up her hood on her black jacket. She crept to the side and moved away from the scene. She edged for the doorknob, and peered back at Cindi before she left. Cindi was wearing her normal smile. That was odd for a situation like that. Why was she grinning? Solly unintentionally gawked at Cindi's expression, and it only grew wider. Cindi elbowed the men holding her back and they slammed to the ground beneath them. Cindi suddenly pulled out a blue hammer.

"You see why I didn't answer the weapons part, deary?" Cindi spoke to Solly from across the room. "Now, would you mind helping me with this situation?" Cindi asked while pointing the blue hammer at Kara's throat. Kara cringed and let go of Hina's hair. She attempted to escape before banging into Solly.

"I should have known that you were a Dark Hunter." Kara voice was low. "Oh my. I wonder if anyone will come to my aid." She stated with a flat voice. Cindi was beaming still.

"What makes you say that?" She inquired. "No one is going to help you."

Kara smiled, "No one? Of course not, I have two people that are going to help me." Kara replied. Hina got to her feet. And the girls stood there silently.

"Looks like nobody is coming." Solly said quietly.

"Oh, you won't see them coming." Kara snapped her fingers and moved slightly to her left. As she did so the ceiling that was above where she was fell. The piece of the ceiling had burning marks on it. A hand came out from the hole on the ceiling. It was covered in an Alchemist's glove. Kara did an inhuman leap and grabbed the arm. "Sayonara, suckers!" The arm pulled her up.

"Oh, great. See what you did? If you had just let me keep my katana, none of this would have happened!" Hai shouted at Cindi. Cindi closed her eyes and began to hum like they weren't in a bad situation.

"That hand was one person... Where's the other?" Solly asked to herself. Solly went to move ,but she fell on her face. The other girls stared at her with dumbfounded expressions. Solly felt embarrassed at first before she thought for a moment.

'Hexers and Curse Makers have the ability to ail and bind their opponents without them even noticing. There was nothing on my legs, but I am clumsy...'

"Are you okay?" Cindi peered down at her.

"I'm fine,but you should look out for a Hex-" Solly stopped talking. She detected a small purple-haired girl with blue eyes and a cloak. The girl had a strange doll in her hand ,and she was chanting some sort of spell while she was grabbing its head. She was staring at Solly with her soulless eyes. She had to be the one.

"Hey, why'd you stop?" Hai turned around to see what Solly was staring at. She saw the girl too. She took a step forward. "What are you doing?" She asked the girl.

The girl stopped. "You have strong legs." She said.

"Why would you know that?"

"Adhuc manere." The girl replied. Hai fell to the floor.

"That's a paralysis spell. It's Latin for 'stay still'. I'm quite surprised with you. That was the first time that 'crus solvere', my leg bind spell, didn't work." The girl smiled. "The pink girl here is pretty smart. She almost caught me." The girl stared at Cindi. Cindi was tapping her foot.

"Is that the best you have?" She asked with a smile. "You can come out now ,Deiji."

"What?" The girl turned around to see blond-haired boy with a red scarf and Alchemist's gloves. "You think that this is enough to scare me?" She eyed the boy.

"No, but it's enough to distract you." The boy named Deiji said back. The girl cringed ever so slightly before she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She slowly fixed her gaze on Cindi. Cindi held a syringe in her dominate hand.

"Don't worry, it's just an anesthetic." Cindi commented. The girl collapsed.

Solly rose from the ground. "How'd you do that?" Hai got up afterwards.

"It's a skill that I have. I am technically a Medic." Cindi giggled. "I gave her a little taste of her medicine, don't you think?"

"Haha, Cindi. Do you ever think like a normal person?" Hina growled.

"Normal? There's no such thing!" Cindi exclaimed happily. "I think that we should all introduce ourselves!"

"What?! How stupid are you?"

"Not stupid enough to keep on insulting the person that has control of whether or not you get to see that katana again." Cindi remarked with her jovial voice. "Anyway, if we're going to stop Kara, we should at least get to know each other." Cindi suggested. "I think we should start with her." She eyed Solly.

Solly shivered, "Oh... um... me?" Solly stuttered.

"Yes, you introverted girl." Hai put a hand on her hip.

"My name's S-Solly... Solly Penelope Zaki. I'm Hanasaki Zaki's daughter." Solly looked down.

"Oh,okay. Well, I'm pretty sure you know that my name's Cindi. It is pleasant to meet all of you." Cindi introduced herself second.

"My name is Hina Kakasei. Call me Hai." Hai bowed slightly.

"My name is Deiji." The boy with the red scarf spoke.

" 'Deiji' what?" Hai suddenly asked.

"We're in the middle of a robbery do you think that my last name really counts? Cindi didn't even say hers!"

"Well, you see... Cindi's a complete jerk." Cindi kicked the back of Hai's leg as she said that.

"Fine, it's Deiji Signum."

Solly was pretty sure that she had heard the last name "Signum" before. Maybe it was something that she had learned in training. She ignored her deja vu.

"Now that we've introduced ourselves, we can come up with a plan." Cindi clasped her hands together. "Solly, do you mind planning for us?"

"W-what? Why?" Solly stammered.

"You look like you think a lot. You're kinda aloof, but in a good way." Hai's voice rang out.

"Really? I don't think I can... This is the first time I've had to use my skills in something that wasn't training."

"Just think of something already." Deiji adjusted his scarf on his neck.

Solly grimaced. She wasn't even used to talking to people ,and now she had to come up with a plan. She felt her hands get clammy and sweaty. She was shaking in her case. Why did Cindi even think that she could do this. People were in danger and Solly had to devise an idea to save them. But how?

Author's note thingy:

Yay, I finished the okay-ish first chapter! Yeah, yeah, I know it's short, but at least it's not another chapter of "Prophecy". I'm taking a break on that. I decided to try a new type of introduction. The kind where you're kinda forced to talk. Is that good or bad? Doesn't matter to me.
