Right, I'm sure I've got my back covered now...lets get on with it.
In a Multiverse, existed 4 'prime' Universes.
In each of these Universes, the lifeforms existed to a state of constant wars and struggle, a battle of survival forever ran on. Forces who called believed themselves to be righteous fought for justice, while others fought for tryanny.
Where we begin, is at the start of the darkest part of an era in one Universe, which Death, the god of…well, Death, in the Multiverse, has called "3.", as in Universe 3. There was but a brief time of peace…before a dark power rose, and triggered along with it, an endless struggle between good and evil, right and wrong.
In the year 1889A.P (A.P stands for "After Primus", A legend who saved this universe from a dark, dark evil that rose in his time. Although they haven't imprinted it into their time, it's been, in fact, over three million and 1889 years after Primus. But they didn't want to put "3,001,889A.P". Instead, they just reset their year charts at every 100,000 years, and call each time an era. E.g., the last "era" finished 1889 years ago, and was dubbed "the era of understanding". Because there was very few wars during that time… and most of them only lasted between a few planets, never grown to a full universal war.), A new galactic empire was formed after many debates between worlds. And was dubbed, by their leader, Quan Bei of Zelmar VIII, SCI, which stood for "Space Civilization Impleach ("to interweave")".
Their goal? To unite the rest of universe in a great era of peace and prosperity. Many races gladly joined this new unity, and its power grew greatly. But not all accepted this new ideal...there were a few battles for planets, and some were forced to bow before SCI's scientific technology and military power. within 46 years, at Quan Bei passing via heart failure, and at the age of 79, SCI had over 167 galaxies, 7, 418 habitable planets, 475 space stations, 1,043 sub-stations (smaller, and less defended space stations, designed to simply resupply space ships and watch over any sectors that they are in.) and had tens of thousands of war ships, troopers, mechs and battle cruisers under its control.
When they declared a new leader in 1936A.P, Murriden Beakstand of Quell'Far II, he decided that they should stop expanding, and think of developing their empire. He feared that, if they do not worry about those planets already under their control, they may lose that very control, and have rebellions and wars in the very heart of SCI. although this was a wise choice; this allowed other empires to rise up during his reign. In 1962A.P, they had made contact with a nearby empire by the name of United federation of planets, who wished no hostility towards SCI, and formed an alliance in 1964A.P. then, in 1978A.P; they made contact with another growing empire, by the name of The Galactic Republic. There were a few fights between them, but they formed a peace treaty when SCI pushed the Republic forces away from their border in 1979A.P.
Murridin's reign didn't last much longer after that. In 1982A.P, he passed away at the age of 92. and a new leader took over, by the name of Drak Nafar of Arisen III. Not only did he try to follow Murridin's ideas, but he also tried to bend some of them in order to gain more profit for himself and his own family. Slowly, he changed more and more of Murridin's ideas, until finally, in 2008A.P, his right hand man, Armstrong Houston, who hated Drak's wrong-doings, had been rallying races and planets to help him overthrow Drak. And in that year, he started his mutiny. And behind him, was not only the support of the United federation of planets and the Galactic Republic, but also nearly half of SCI's forces. This new force, which believed that they are going good for the universe, declared themselves as GF (Galactic Federation.).
The war was long and bloody. Both sides would not back down for control. In 2012A.P, the tide of war had finally begun to go into Houston's favor, as certain allies of SCI had begun to defect over for the sake of their people and planets. As more and more planets turned or were forced to submit, the more the remaining SCI forces wanted to give up. In 2013A.P, a band of elite SCI troopers killed Drak and his family, and surrendered over to the GF, thus ending the war.
Peace once again reigned supreme in the GF. One of its allies though, were not so fortunate in 2018A.P. The Galactic Republic had begun a war against a new rising power called CIS (Confederacy of Independent Systems). This war would lead to the end of the Galactic republic, as they would reform and name themselves the galactic empire when the war with CIS ended in 2021A.P, with the destruction of CIS.
Houston controlled the GF with an iron fist, wanting to make sure that no rebels ever went against his rule. To many, the sense of power has made Houston like Drak. And because of this, many groups of freedom fighters and rebels rose up in the GF to try and overthrow Houston from 2020 all the way up to 2035A.P, fifteen years of bloodshed and war within the GF's territory. in that year, a secret weapon was finally created, and Houston, hearing of what power it held, decided to take it and set it up...when his grand commander, Keaton Al'Keriff, heard of the weapons dangerous potential, he rallied the forces of GF, and Branded Houston a traitor, just to try and stop him from activating this new danger...and he did stop Houston on a small fortress island Houston and those that were loyal to him took over...but, at the cost of Houston's life, who fell in battle. after, Keaton declared himself the new head of the GF forces.
within the next 8 years, a new war had begun, mostly thanks to Keaton deciding to attack the United Federation of Planets and the Galactic Empire in a vain hope to take them over. this war would only affect the borders though of all three empires...in the center of the GF, there was finally peace...this is where it all begins..
The Year is 2043A.P. and on the planet earth X (X for 10. there are, in fact, 25 "earths" in total, but this era is based around this earth.), within a plain, wide open grassland of the land known as North Netopia...is a huge, grey, metal round building, with an small, glass dome shape in the center of the roof. it's at least two miles wide all round, with huge windows all the way around it, letting in the sunlight. on the northern side of it, are two huge automatic doors, leading inside…and from within, we can hear the clash of metal.
Nearby the strange place, looking at it from afar, standing within the grassland, allowing the wind to blow freely around him, was an old man, who looked in his 90's, Holding five elaborately decorated, coloured cards known as the "Crane Deck"…This man, was Zuo Ci, who has been seen upon earth V, another Earth which was far more militaristic compared to this one…With him, looking at the place, with it's feathers being blown around by wind, was the believed to be demon Griffon of Devil May Cry, From this earth. Both were standing next to each other.
Griffon soon looked towards Zuo Ci "I feel the presence of the destined one here Master Zuo Ci..."
Zuo Ci seemed to just look carefully at the place...then replied "I agree. He appears to be in this isolated location. Unusual, but then again, we cannot always expect those of his blood to live in some humble village. Years have come and gone, the worlds have changed…a pity that the threat he will encounter soon, has not."
This place, That the two looked upon, is called the "Hero Base". although it's name is…nothing special, it's creators, the fabled Dr Albert Wily and Dr Light, didn't take time on the name, but rather, on what it's purpose is for, and how it fits for all the heroes that will gather here. the reason for this place, was for their wanting to understand what type of heroes that were out there...well, not only heroes, but also villains, that agreed to keep the peace. The people that come are allowed a lodging of their own and full access to what's available inside the base. which are holograms rooms, two training rooms, a food hall, a lab and a hospital. within each room/lodging, the heroes have their own shower/bath, toilet, a personal computer, double bed, wooden clothing drawers and cupboards, with at least one having a mirror on the inside of a door, and a metal storage cupboard. the total room count is 300.
Inside the base, the corridors are all painted grey, with white numbers at the start of each corridor, telling the people of which corridor they are in. the height of the corridors themselves is designed to fit seven full grown men, standing on top of each other. The reason such, is to allow robots and other tall beings to roam free around the base. and 20 of the rooms are designed for their height also. It must be quite worrying for someone to try and knock on that sort of door size just to see if the being is in. and of course, if the thing does open the door, one must question if the small person will be in awe, shock, or crapping himself.
The Dr in Albert and Lights title stands for 'Doctor', something that is normally attached to scientists of many fields, such as Genetics, Energy, Robotics, Artificial and so on, as well as high ranked medical personnel.
Once again, the clash of metal is heard around the corridors. the noise was overheard by the two minds who founded this place, as they were walking down one of the said corridors, Dr Light, with a metal clipboard in his hand, and Dr Wily, holding his Skull cane in one hand, and some paperwork in the other. Dr Wily has in his clothing from the game series of Battle Network, whilst Dr Light was in the classic attire. Both were talking before they heard the sound.
Albert Wily frowned. "Hmph, If I'm to hazard a guess, the training room is being used again. I thought we told them that Tuesdays and Saturdays we wanted them to stay out of those so we can check them over?"
Thomas Light gave a small chuckle, looking at his old friend. "We can't expect them to not use it. It's not like they have anything better to do besides test themselves against each other."
"Yeah well, if anything collapses and they get hurt, whatever they sue for is coming out of your account."
"We could always watch for now, see what's going on. Come now, the inspection can be completed afterwards." With that, Dr Light walked on ahead of his friend, motioning him to follow.
"You treat the place like it's fully functioning Thomas. You do know we have power shortages quite often don't you? And trying to make sure we get an ample water source is a pain. The Galactic Federations money demands just for the water use is stupidly high…" Wily was now following, as they overheard more clashing of steel.
Thomas smiled, continuing to focus ahead, guessing which one of the rooms the noise was coming from. "Yuan Shao is going to sort out the water money for us, remember? And we'll figure out a way to increase the power core to stop the shortages."
"We need to. The Net Navis are at constant risk if we can't keep the net constantly online while they traverse it…"
The doors of one of the training rooms opened, as Dr Light pressed a few buttons on a control panel next to the door.
"I got you now kid!...what the!?"
"You gotta be faster than that Xiahou Dun!"
Within the training room, a crowd of people can be seen around the edges of the room, watching two heroes fight it out. Within the group, famous faces such as Ryu from the Street Fighter tournament, Jak and his little ottersel sidekick, Daxter, from their world of Bara'Dor II, Mario and Luigi, from their world called Mushroom world (before making contact with the mushroom kingdom itself, GF scientists called it Vucor I), and Sonic the hedgehog along with his pal Knuckles, both from Mobius.
At the front of one side of the crowd, was the Net Navi Roll, from this very world. and standing with her, was Navi Megaman, Navi Shademan,the space bounty hunter Samus Aran.
Megaman. Although is named a Net Navi and has all the functions of one, is actually classed as a Hu-Navi. A part-Navi, Part-Human. The part-human is about only 1 percent of him. It's a very small fragment of his past life when he died as a baby called 'Hub'. His father remade him into a Net Navi, and left that as a mark to his past. He knows he was human once. His been at the base since the day it was finally built. His rather timid, and only seems to act brave when the odds aren't stacked against him. He tries to help out his grandfather, Thomas Light and father, Yuichiro Light, by doing the odd choir around the base, and is normally the first person to greet newcomers. He hangs around with Roll, his girlfriend, and their Net Navi friends from the time before the base, Gutsman and Gylde. His OP, or Operator, a slowly fading out part of Net Navi life, is his human brother, Lan Light.
Roll. She's been at the base since it was made. A Net Navi that seems to be the only person able to make most people in the base be her friend without getting into fights. She watches out for all her close friends, especially for Chad, Richard, Shademan and Anna. She is quick thinking, has hacking and healing abilities, and fast moving. She's going out with Megaman. her OP/Operator is a girl called Maylu Sakurai.
Shademan. He arrived at the base 4 years ago. A Net Navi that also seems to have the powers of a vampire. He has an uncanny ability to bring himself back after being completely destroyed, his programming designed to restore itself with backups in reserve, something that's seen as inhumane to the Navi race since their rise to being on par with any sentient race. His calm, cool and reserved, but seems to land himself into trouble (mainly by accident, unlike Chad) with the people in the base. He mainly enjoys hanging round Roll and Richard, mainly Roll through, since Richard is usually busy.
Net Navis were originally from, as hinted, the digital networks of this world and beyond, controlled by operators, and dreamed of being able to see the real world beyond the machine worlds they survived in. They had come a long way from that beginning. They were given a program called "Real", over 10 years ago, that allowed them to enter the real world freely. This was a major breakthrough, but it was the next one AFTER it that really made things wonderful for them. Dr Light, 3 years after the real program was created, invented, for them, the "Life" program, which, to the happiness of Net Navi's, makes them pretty much human. they can eat, drink, change clothes, have sex, and have children. Not all Net Navi's are able to have this program, but most can. Nowadays, all Navi's are seen as a humanoid separate race.
Also with this group was a girl, with short brown hair, emerald green eyes, was wearing a light blue T-shirt, and dark blue jeans and white trainers, and looks of the age of 15. She's seen watching the fight going on, with a worried look. "I think Chad's being a bit overconfident guys...maybe we should stop him before he gets hurt bad…"
Anna Hael is from the planet Mobius. A Human from one of the very few colonies of humans on the planet. She may seem light hearted and cute on the outside to others, but that's when only everything is going her way. When it isn't, she can turn into a moody little madam. Unlike her friend she's worried over, Chad, she easily blended in when she came to the base. she's always the one that tries to make peace with those that Chad pisses off, since she prefers to try and be everyone's friends in the base, rather then their enemies, since her and Chad get enough trouble with those that hate them as it is.
Samus, wearing her full battle Chozo suit, noticed the arrival of the two doctors, who made their way over to where Anna and the others were, pretty much in front of the crowd. "Doctors."
Samus Aran. She's been around the base for 3 years. One of the most famous bounty hunters in the GF, she holds the record of 50 successful bounty catches without falter…well, if all of those people were still alive after she "caught" them. She's trigger happy and loves to drink heavily…two things that have never been great bedfellows. Some people still wonder why the doctors let her in.
Dr Wily nodded at her, before focusing on the battle in the center of the room.
In the middle of the room, Xiahou Dun, wielding his prized Kirin fang scimitar, is seen jumping back, then swinging his blade sideways, clashing with another sword. This other blade was the length of a short sword. The blade itself was silver, while the hilt was black, with a deep red diamond of some kind in the middle of the hilt. And standing there, holding the weapon, called the blade of darkness, was a boy of about 15 years of age. With short brown spiky hair, dark blue eyes, a red T-shirt, a black sleeveless jacket, blue trousers, and white trainers. on his back, is a grey leather holder, designed to carry his sword.
"Ah, I see it's Chad again. What did he do this time?" Wily asked the group.
"Nothing this time Wily. It's just he wanted a match with Xiahou Dun, and it was due for tomorrow, but, well, neither could wait so…here they are." Roll answered.
"I'm surprised so many people are in here." Dr Light noticed.
"Well, Xiahou Dun is quite the warrior. Right hand man of Cao Cao. For Chad to take him on is a big enough event to make people come and watch instead of either sitting in the food hall or checking things on the net." Samus pointed out, before quickly looking over to the fight "WATCH HIM CHAD FOR BLIND LO'S SAKE!
Chad Oswald. From the planet of Mobius. A hero, A warrior. A kid, always acts overconfident, and is the most known source of annoyance to others. His only came to the base 2 years ago, although he had contact with it for over a year before moving in. he rarely hangs around due to his enemies causing him hassle. While was known as the main hero of Mobius, often taking on greater foes, Chad has his own reputation. He often was a protector of the human colonies, fighting against a human that seemed intent of killing all those on that world known as Chaos. Chaos had teamed up with Robotnik a few times before the latter chose to retire from Mobius, and thus Chad had teamed up with Sonic before.
He was first told about the base by his girlfriend-ish ally, Anna, who has made contact with Dr light during one of Chad's adventures against his sworn enemy, a mobian named Chaos. He wasn't sure about moving in at first, but due to Anna demanding him to go with her, Chad gave in and joined her. He had a little trouble with blending in at first, but after making friends with the noble of Earth V, Yuan Shao, the Net Navi Roll, and Richard Wily, he quickly was able to. A lot of the people have started to take a liking to him…so long as he doesn't annoy them, which he seems to keep on doing.
Anna still couldn't help with her concerns over her close friend…well, they were more on the in-between level of friends and lovers, both liked one another, but neither wanted to ask the other out in concern that the other might not like them. "Maybe we should stop it now if his losing his focus."
"Don't panic Anna. We always stop the fights when it gets too ugly." Samus reminded her.
"What about that time when Mario had his arm badly severed by Zhang Liao and the fight went on till Mario nearly lost consciousness?" Roll pointed out.
"Well ya know, he kinda was being a dick at the time."
Standing on the other side of the training room, were all of the officers of the Wei kingdom of Earth V, the most notable being Cao Cao, one of the twelve kings of earth V.
"Brother Dun! Stop being cautious! Take the kid out!" Xiahou Yuan, the actual younger cousin to Xiahou Dun, but preferred to call him brother, yelled out next to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao had his arms folded over his chest, watching the fight whilst standing there. "The boy has talent, and speed on his side. Xiahou Dun has every right to be cautious. Ever since the boy came here, people have met their match in him…26 have lost, including Zhang Liao, and not many people have toppled him to the ground before."
Xiahou Dun then tries to swing the blade downwards at the boy, but he quickly blocks the attack, then uses a teleport ability he knows called chaos control, to suddenly appear behind Xiahou Dun, and goes to kick him in the back, but Xiahou Dun quickly roll's forward, remembering the trick that the boy has done to him five times before, then turns round, readying his scimitar, looking slightly tense, and panting a little.
"Your fast Chad, But your not strong. If you lacked that teleportation skill, I would've taken you down with my eye closed by now." Xiahou Dun said.
"You know, I was expecting you to do that by now, But I'm still standing." Chad replied with a smirk, lowering his Blade of Darkness down to the ground, leaving himself wide open.
Xiahou Dun was not one to waste a chance, and runs at him. Chad raises his spare hand, and was ready to unleash an energy beam called chaos beam. Xiahou Dun didn't take notice, and raised his weapon when he got close...and suddenly felt pain on his chest, as he goes flying back and crashing into the ground by a sudden red beam that shot out of Chad's hand. he groans in pain, as he starts to get up from the sudden blow, and looks at Chad, who's smiling, and blowing on one of his fingers, as if blowing smoke away from the barrel of a gun. "Sorry one eye, but I wanted to give you a little bit of time before using that."
Xiahou Dun stood up for a moment, then grumbles "Thats enough kid…I fold. You win this round." he then walks out of the training room, past Link, Zhao Yun and Zelda, holding his chest as he went, obviously, the blow was a shock to the system, and winded him, he needed to go and rest. Chad watched Xiahou Dun leave, then noticed the crowd speak amongst themselves, before most of them started to make their way out.
As Chad turned to look at Anna, he caught a glimpse of dark blue, and quickly turned his head, noticing Cao Cao standing there besides him, looking down at him. "…Two of my finest generals have been outmatched by you. For someone your age, that's impressive."
"Uhh…thanks?"
"I have someone else in mind, if you're interested. His been itching to take you on, but I told him my warrior had to go first…now Xiahou Dun has been beaten, you have no one else to fight, am I right?"
Chad chuckled lightly, and gave Cao Cao a smirk. "Hey, whoever it is, send'em down. I can take them."
"…That I wouldn't be so sure on this time, Chad." With that, Cao Cao departed, as Anna, Samus, Megaman, Shademan and Roll came over.
Anna quickly looked Chad over. "No injuries…good good…and he didn't even cut your clothes."
"What's with the check up Anna? I'm fine. The guy didn't even touch me, I knew what I was doing…sorta."
"Well I'm glad he didn't! I would've kicked him in the groin if he dared seriously hurt you!" Anna responded.
Roll gave Chad a warm smile. "Well, I suppose we need to mark that as your 27th win in a row then. You're really doing good here."
"Heh, I can only keep getting higher and higher with this. Well, shall we go and get a quick bite to eat guys? Kinda missed lunch to get to this…" Chad started to make his way over to the door, with the others following, except for Anna, who looked over to where Cao Cao and the Wei officers were, and was sure she saw a strange old man for a moment, holding five cards, and after she blinked, he was gone.
Anna then quickly went after Chad, and soon, the training room was empty, the voices gone, bar Dr Wily and Light, who both stood there, with Light looking at his clipboard. "…I take it you saw him too?"
Dr Wily nodded. "Our old friend is around." He gave a sigh. "Meaning something's gonna happen…and I know that boy is in the middle of it."
"Come on, let's get back to work, before Keira thinks we're being lazy and starts moaning about her being the only one who cares about this place." Thomas walked off, and after Wily looked around the training room a little bit more, followed suit.
Note time:
1. The folks from Dynasty Warriors are in their DW8's costumes.
2. Net Navis are from Megaman Battle Network, one of the Megaman series I enjoyed a lot of during the creation of this, and still do enjoy to this day.
3. I don't mind if people review or not. so do so at your own choice.
