A/N: New story! I've decided that since my writing style has improved since the beginning of 'Her Adventure' (I think), I'll start a new OC fic! But this one is...much stranger. Creepy-awkward weirdness involved. You have been warned. Plus, I've included Rufus, Rin and Asin! :3
Vanilla and Tela: Will we be in it?
Me: *creepy smile* For this whole fic, we're going to pretend Vanilla and Tela never existed. *creepy laugh*
Vanilla and Tela: Wait...WHA- *banished into another dimension*
Me: Let's start the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own Grand Chase at all. If I did though, all the GC guys would be my- *gets shot*
Chapter 1
It was a cold night outside. A little girl ran after a shadow that was carrying something that belonged to her. She didn't know where it was going, but all she knew was that this was a game of tag. She had to catch the shadow, and take back what was rightfully her's.
The shadow was well aware of the girl and took a right into the trees. The girl tried to speed up, but she wasn't exactly 'fast'. She'd lost her chance to get it back. She cursed herself and left the woods. Only problem is, she had no idea how to get out. Not only did she lose the shadow and her chance, she lost herself in the woods.
The Next Morning...
The team was hanging around in the lounge, doing nothing. Surprisingly, there had been no reports of any monsters attacking people or anything of the sort in the past few days. So the team was extremely bored.
Knight Master dropped by today though. After days of nothing, they finally had some missions. "Many people reported a mysterious shadow running towards Serdin and a little girl was following him. The shadow also had a weird aura around it. So I need a team to investigate Kerrie Beach, Orc Temple, Gorgos Lair, and Elven Forest."
When she left, they split up into four groups of four. Jin, Ley, Lire, and Asin headed to Kerrie Beach; Ryan, Elesis, Ronan and Lass went to the Orc Temple; Zero, Rufus, Sieghart and Rin left to Gorgos's Lair; Amy, Mari, Dio and Arme went to Elven Forest.
Lire's POV
Kerrie Beach; just seeing it reminded me of when I first joined Grand Chase along with Elesis and Arme. I remember when they used to fight all the time and I had to break it up. Now, it was much different.
The beach was filled with Serdin inhabitants basking in the sun. The sea was crystal clear compared to the last time we came, and the beach itself was a bit cleaner. There were also those merchants hanging around further away from the people.
I wandered the beach when Asin picked up something; it was a purple ribbon. He dangled it around and announced, "Hey, look what I found."
"Do you think it's the little girl's?", Jin asked.
"I don't know, but we should do some more investigating.", I suggested. "Have you found anything Ley?"
Ley was a little bit away from us, staring at the ground. "I found some footprints. It could belong to the shadow. Let's follow them."
So we all followed the footprints into Orc Temple. Hopefully, the other teams found something.
Lass's POV
It was incredibly dusty here. How are we able to see anything? Our leader, Elesis had no problems though. She just shrugged it off and continued like she'd been here before.
It was just an old place with a lot of sand and dust covering it. There were many little bumps and hills riddled on the inside and outside. This place was just very dull and boring...
"After we pass over that hill, it should be clear...", Elesis said, pointing to the hill in the distance. "Then, we can resume our search. Got it?"
We walked right into the sandstorm and over the hills before it was completely clear. "It looks so ancient here...", I commented.
"Yeah. This is where Lire, Arme and I fought the Orc Lord. After we defeated him, it looks like the orcs retreated.", she said.
We started searching for any clues or any signs of someone being here. But, we didn't actually find anything out of the ordinary. The sandstorm must've swept anything away. Ryan pointed and said, "There's the other group!"
"Hey guys!", Ronan called out. They took a few moments to get here. "Did you find anything?"
"Yeah. We found a purple ribbon and we were following footprints until they stopped at Orc Temple.", Lire explained. She then asked, "How about you guys?"
"Nothing at all.", Ronan said. "Let's head to Gorgos's Lair. Maybe the others found something."
Rin's POV
We arrived at Gorgos's Lair. It was what I expected; dark, damp and fiery. I wasn't familiar with the place and by the looks on everyone else's face, no one else was either. I have a bad feeling about this...
Just then, a shadow passed by Zero. We all tried to get it, but it dodged. It had some kind of bag with it and juggled it in the air. "Are you helping that annoying being as well?", it asked in a grave voice.
"Who are you?", I asked.
"A dark entity. Or a death entity.", it replied. "They're interchangeable."
It chanted a few words and opened up a portal. I had no idea what it was doing but both Rufus and Sieghart were a bit alarmed. "Quick, get it! It's going back into the Underworld.", Rufus called as he took out his eyeteeth and started firing.
The bullets were caught by the entity, which surprised all of us. It flung them back to us, but we got out of the way just in time. Both Sieghart and Zero got behind it and slashed it. The odd thing is that it wasn't affected; it recovered from the slash right away. So, I used my fan and created a gust of wind. It pushed it back a bit, but it was still standing.
"A bounty hunter, a Highlander, an artificial demon with a powerful sword, and the reincarnation of a goddess. Interesting group...", it muttered before escaping into the portal.
"Well, that was weird. Never met an entity before.", Sieghart said in a jokingly way.
"But I don't think it was heading for the Underworld...", Zero added.
"Yeah, that's what I thought after it deflected my bullets.", Rufus said, crossing his arms. "If it was from the Underworld, then it could've easily been destroyed."
"I wonder what are entities...", I spoke some of my thoughts aloud. I did wonder, what was he talking about 'entity'? It something made by the gods? Or perhaps, they are almost as strong as gods? Whatever it is, it was strong enough to recover from attacks. "I think we should head to Elven Forest to tell the others."
Arme's POV
Wow! This place changed so much! It's so peaceful now! Lire and Ryan will be happy that the forest was kept safe all this time. This place reminded me of when we just started our journey to defeat Kaze'aze. Now, we could probably defeat her in a few blows if she ever shows up again.
We searched for clues when we saw footprints in the ground. They didn't look too old, so we followed them. It lead up to a bush, but that's where they end. "Where do you think the footprints went?"
"Maybe someone climbed up the tree.", Mari suggested.
Dio's ears perked up and he glanced around before saying, 'Shh!'
Amy also glanced around, but didn't see anything. "What did you hear Dio?"
It was faint, but someone was snoring. It sounded like it was coming from the tree. Dio offered to climb up, but as soon as he got his Rake Hand on the tree, something green fell from the top. It was probably the little girl!
Like we all expected, it was that girl. She had short, green hair with dull, red eyes. She wore a green and blue dress. She also had a brownish bag on her shoulder. I don't think the girl is from here; she looks more like an elf, especially with her pointy ears.
"...Dio?", the little girl said when she saw the demon.
"Messenger...?", Dio asked, sounding unsure of himself. After staring at each other for awhile, his expression changed. "It's you again, you little brat!"
"Hey! That's not nice!", she stomped her feet.
"Since we found her, let's report back to Knight Master~", Amy said, and everyone agreed.
As we walked back, we saw the other groups head towards us. When we showed them the little girl, they seemed shocked, like they thought she was human. But it was strange to have an elf or a demon here in Bermesiah without a reason.

"So, what is your name?", Ryan asked the girl.
"Michuuuu~", she replied loudly. "But in the Underworld and Demon World, I'm known as Messenger!"
"So, you're from the Demon World?", Lire asked.
"I am and I'm not!", she replied. "My family and I travel between the Demon World, Underworld and Aernas! It's sort of a family thing, I guess. We like traveling."
"But aren't you not allowed to cross to the Underworld and back?", Rufus asked, but it was more of a statement.
"We only went as far as where the Haros tribe resides. That is, until my parents died. Then I made it my permanent home!", she said. "I thought it would be better, but..."
"Shouldn't we be asking her questions like 'what was she running after?' ", Elesis cut the messenger off, making her a bit upset. "So, what was that you were running after and why?"
"First of all, that was the dark entity. I'm not sure what it is; all I know is that it lives in a separate dimension and aren't human.", she answered without a fuss. "And I was running after that thing because it stole my bracelet which stored most of my power! Luckily, it never stole my capsule!"
They were about to ask her more questions when they realized they already arrived at Serdin Castle. Knight Master and the Queen probably awaited them inside to see what they found. So, they went inside and they all bowed to the Queen (except Michu, who was confused).
"So you brought the girl that ran after the shadow?", Knight Master asked.
"Yes. And we encountered the shadow, but it returned to its own dimension before we could stop it.", Sieghart explained.
Michu was angry that they couldn't stop the entity. She was about to say something, but Dio (who was beside her at the time), shushed her. Knight Master dismissed it and turned to Michu. "You can rest up for the night, then we'll return you home."
"Home~?", Michu asked herself aloud. "I have no home to go to. I left it two years ago to search for my bracelet and some other...personal stuff that's probably best to keep to myself."
Everyone looked to other places or just stayed silent. Michu suddenly asked, "What kind of group are you guys?"
"Grand Chase. They work together to stop evil and save our world.", the Queen explained.
"Oh! I would like to join them~", she said happily. "Can I~?"
"But we have to test you first.", Knight Master said. "Not just anyone can join our ranks."
Michu nodded and followed Knight Master happily while the Queen sent everyone back to their rooms.
Meanwhile, many spirit beings sat inside a white room. The dark entity came back just in time, which made everyone curious. "Heh heh, what took you so long, Death?", boomed a prideful man.
"I got the bracelet master was talking about. Funny how it was attached to a whiny, little girl.", he said, glancing to their master.
Their master was sitting down, smiling devilishly at Death. "That whiny little girl was the Messenger. The one who lost her parents, remember? Then, she lived in the Underworld."
"Never heard of her...", a normal woman whispered.
"How come you guys know so much about her!", a grumpy woman said angrily.
"Hush, Fire.", a calm woman said. "He is the leader, so he must've done his homework before sending Death to fetch it."
"Oh, like you know!", Fire yelled, about to attack the woman.
An emotionless, but bitter person stood in the background. "Silence!"
All of them (except the master) turned to face it. "We will not have fighting in here. Not in this room, Fire. Now let the master speak."
Fire sat back down with respect, but still looked annoyed. After she was done, everyone turned back to their master. He tapped on the desk, thinking of what to say. "Hmm...keep up the good work. We're almost there! The gods will think twice about their actions after this..."
"Master...I have a question.", a quieter man said. "What if the Messenger tries to get it back?"
"...Then we fight back.", he replied. He opened one eye and remarked, "You should know that by now, Earth."
"It's been a while, Elemental.", the quiet man said.
"Hnn~", a woman muttered. She was obviously tracking something down. "The Messenger is with a little more than a dozen people. What do you think of this?"
"I wonder if those people I encountered have something to do with this.", Death said aloud to the woman.
"Wait, I'll travel in your head and channel it to what I'm tracking currently.", the woman said and something flowed inside his mind.
"Try not to hurt me again, Life.", he reminded her.
She channeled it and saw the same people he saw at Gorgos's Lair. She smirked at him when she was done and said, "They're the same people."
"And who exactly did you see, Death?", Elemental asked.
"I saw a bounty hunter, a Highlander, an artifical demon and a goddess reincarnation.", Death said.
"Hmm...", Elemental smirked. "This will be entertaining..."
A/N: Finished a chapter! I'll be starting on my indirect sequel '20 Days' (which will include Michu now as well!) sooner or later. No, it's not 20 chapters. It's like 2-3 long chapters for each of my main OCs (Vainlla, Tela and Michu).
I'm sorry if I'm taking too long to update 'Her Adventure'. I am typing it up, I'm just really, really slow. So sorry about that...
I think I screwed up with the verb tenses...I fixed most of it, but there might be some mistakes left. Yeah, tell me what you think~ It's not creepy and weird now, but it will be soon~ *creepy laugh*
