1 The Black Rose

Chapter 1

Glenn and Serge sat out on the dock of Arni Village. Orlha was standing behind them looking out to the sea.

"Ever since we beat the Time Devourer I have been wondering hat happened to Kid," Serge said. "We never did go to save her."

"You're right, but Norris told me that the Porre Army cleared out Hermit's Hideaway, she is probably gone now," Glenn replied.

"You know what else sucks?" Serge asked "Ever since we started staying in Another World the people have feared me. No one will come close to me except for June, that poet girl in the bar. They are always in Radius' house discussing what to do with me."

Orlha paced back and forth. "Poor Harle too, she's gone now," she said.

"Speaking of Harle, lets go to the Chronopolis and see the Frozen Flame," Serge offered.

"Yeah, Luccia should have some more information about it for us," Glenn said.

The three youths stood up and walked off the dock into the market of Arni Village.

Serge was 18 years old now, with blue hair and his bandana, and his blue eyes. He was about five feet and seven inches, about one hundred and thirty pounds, and pretty ordinary looking.

Glenn was 20 though, two inches taller and ten pounds heavier. He was pretty average looking. Glenn grew up in the port town of Termina. Glenn's older Brother Dario was dead in Another World, but alive in the Home World. Glenn's father was Garai, who was a strong warrior, marching into battle with his two Einlanzers. Dario was to be married to Princess Riddel but he was killed in Another World and Glenn was then assigned to protect Riddel and her father General Viper.

Orlha was a bartender at Guldove and one of the hottest girls for the job. She was 32 years old and shorter than Serge. She was lighter too, but she had a semi-muscular build to her.

The three exited Arni village and made their way to Opassa beach. Serge took out the Astral Amulet and went from Another World to Home World. Glenn and Orlha followed behind. They ran along the beach to their other boat. They hopped aboard and sailed to the Chronopolis.

They jumped out of the boat and were greeted by the scientist Luccia on the shore.

"Hey Luccia! What's up?" Serge said cheerfully.

"I have been looking closer into the Frozen Flame and I found another world through it."

"Jesus, how many worlds are there?" Glenn said annoyed.

"There are countless amounts," Luccia replied with a smile.

The four of them walked into the Chronopolis and made their way to level B1 to take a look at the Frozen Flame.

"Do you want us to go through Luccia?" Orlha asked.

"If it isn't too much trouble. I asked some other people to come also, they should be here soon."

The door to the large room opened and Norris, Karsh, Fargo, and Grobyc walked in.

"Ahhhh, here they are now, perfect timing," Luccia said with a smirk.

"Luccia! What are we here for? I was just at Mount Pyre when the Chronopolis robots came and told me to come here quickly!" Karsh said loudly.

"Aye! I was having a nice fish dinner and I was interrupted but your robots!" Fargo said impatiently.

"All seven of you are going to go through the Frozen Flame into the newest dimension discovered," Luccia said briefly. "I'm not asking you to bring anything back, just take a look at what it is."

"I-will-go-through-first," Grobyc said. "I-do-not-mind."

Grobyc climbed the ladder to the top and jumped into the Flame. Norris and Fargo went next, and then the rest. Luccia stayed behind.

"This is amazing, I wonder what they will find." she said to herself.

The seven warriors landed in the ocean. They were buried under the waves; there was a strong current. Fargo resurfaced quickly and got a breath of air; he was always used to the water. After all, he had been living on a boat for half of his life.

Orlha used her strong legs and arms to get to the surface, she saw Fargo, but nobody else.

The two of them struggled for air all the way down the ocean current until they were washed ashore on a small island.

Serge saw Glenn underwater. Serge had seen Orlha before but he lost her. Serge swam toward Glenn and the two searched underwater for the other warriors. They saw Norris a few yards off behind them. They resurfaced for air and went back under to get Norris but he was gone.

They washed ashore on the mainland. They saw Karsh a ways down the beach. They ran hoping the others were there too.

Norris caught sight of Glenn and Serge, he tried to swim to them, but an even stronger current sucked him under. He had not seen any of the others when he was underwater.

He was losing air very quickly now; he saw all these little dots. He was sucked under the sand of the ocean floor. He fell onto the rocky floor of an underwater cavern.

There was no water underneath there, a very strange place indeed. Norris took a few deep breathes of air and stood up. A huge man confronted him. The man had some resemblance to Guile, the magician.

"Why are you here?" The Man boomed.

"I was sucked underwater by a huge ocean current," Norris said slowly. "What is this place?"

"I am the Magus, this is where I live. I made this cavern so nobody would find me, evidentially I made the magic pull a little too harsh."

"Yeah, so is there any way I would be able to get out of here?" Norris asked.

"Not without my help you can't," Magus said. "I am a strong magic user, I concealed this cavern for my own purposes but I think it's time for me to go back to humanity now."

"How did you survive down here?" Norris asked curiously.

"I am the strongest magician in the world, you don't think I can't make food?"

"Yeah, good point," Norris said. "Let's go. I want to find my friends, I have no clue where any of them are."

"I can help you with that," Magus said deeply.

Magus lead Norris to a small pool, he waved his hands. "Think about you friends," he instructed.

Norris thought of Karsh.

The pool showed Karsh, Glenn, and Serge along the shore of the mainland. Norris could hear what they were saying.

"Holy shit what was that?!" Karsh yelled.

"Some strong current I would say," Serge said.

"No kidding," Karsh said sarcastically.

"Well where the hell are we? And where are the others?" We don't even know how to leave this world, it was a bad idea coming here," Glenn said.

"Take me to them," Norris said to Magus.

"Fine, is that all of them though?" Magus asked.

"No there are two others, we can find them after we get these guys though."

Magus took his staff from a wall and transported him and Norris to the shore where Serge was.

There was a huge flash and a loud whoosh. Serge and Karsh fell backward onto the sand from the shock.

Norris and the Magus stood there.

"Norris!" Glenn shouted.

"Who the hell is that?" Karsh said rudely.

"This is the Magus, he helped me get here, when I" Norris started; he was interrupted by the Magus though.

"Oh no," Magus said out loud. "We are on the forbidden island."

"The what?" Karsh asked. "What's so forbidden about it?"

"Ozzie, Flea, and Slash," Magus said.

"What is he talking about?" Serge asked Norris.

Norris just shrugged.

"Ozzie, Flea, and Slash are the tyrants of this world. We should not be here," magus said.

"Then we'll kick their ass," Karsh said promptly.

Serge and Karsh ran to the trees behind them. Glenn could only help but follow, but before he did, he turned and looked at the Magus evilly.

"Serge has his Mastermune, Karsh has his axe, and Glenn has double Einlanzers. They should be okay. I have my pistol too and you have your magic," Norris said.

"No, they are no match for these time disrupters," Magus said uneasily.

"Magus, Serge, Glenn, and my other friend Orlha defeated the Time Devourer," Norris said strongly. "They can easily beat these three."

Norris ran after his friends, and Magus followed.

Serge, Karsh, and Glenn came to three statues. They were statues of the Time Disrupters.

Glenn read them left to right. "Ozzie" he said looking at the fat one. "Flea," he said looking at the girl. "And. Harle?!" Glenn said surprised.

"Harle!" Serge said with excitement.

Norris and Magus stood behind them now.

Orlha and Fargo were still out cold. A man with blonde hair and a frog found them lying there and took them back to their hut that was on the island.

Orlha woke up first. She saw the blonde man first.

"Dario?!" She said surprised.

"How do you know my name?" He said.

"We've met, you just don't know it," Orlha said.

"Well, this is Glenn," Dario said pointing to the frog. "Who are you?" he asked.

"I'm Orlha and this is Fargo," Orlha introduced.

Fargo sat up quickly. "What happened?!"

"Fargo, we lost the others, this is Dario and Glenn, and hopefully they can help us find our way back," Orlha said.

"Hi mate," Fargo said.

Fargo and Orlha stood up, "We are going to find our friends, would you like to come?" Orlha offered.

"Sure," Glenn said.

Glenn and Dario stood up.
