Since I'm having trouble getting things down for my FFXV x RWBY story, I have decided to get work on a different story to see if I can get my head flowing with motivation again. So I'm gonna give a Freedom Planet story a try.
Also on a side note, I normally use the wiki of the franchise I am using in my stories to find a good description of a character's outfit and reword little bit of it here and there because meh I'm lazy! XD but sadly the Freedom Planet wiki doesn't really provide any description of a character's outfit at all... so yeah all I'll say is Lilac and Carol have their FP outfit while Milla is gonna have her FP2 outfit in this story.
Chapter 1: Secrets Of The Past
According to legends, the Ancient Dragons of the Before Time crash-landed on Avalice. Stranded, the Ancient Dragons spent countless years trying to find a way back to their homeworld, but to no avail. With no way for them to return home, they decided to use their technology to help the Avalicians survive and prosper, converting the last of their energy reserves into what is now the Kingdom Stone. But there was one thing the legends rarely spoke of. A very special kind of dragon who had the ability to harness the power of this Kingdom Stone, which granted amazing abilities to him and his descendants. Using this power, he went on to establish a city... no a kingdom where all was welcome, no matter their race, past or background as long as they followed one rule, to not endanger the lives of his subjects and family.
But sadly this kingdom was not to last as tragedy struck one of his future descendants known as King Ryu who fought bravery to defend his home, subjects, friends and his own wife and son, but alas he fell along with his kingdom ending his bloodline... or as most would believe as the body of King Ryu's son was never found causing some to believe that the young prince had escaped and went into hiding or that maybe somewhere deep within the ruins of this long lost city, King Ryu's son was put into a state of suspended animation by his own father, to ensure the royal bloodline continues in the far future. Whether this is true or not, no one knows but the few who still believe the Prince is still alive and are silently awaiting for the day King Ryu's son returns to the world to help rebuild the his fallen Kingdom or at the very least guide the young price down the right path.
Dragon Valley, morning, home of the Three Heroes of Avalice.
A purple skinned half-water dragon of about 16 years old, wearing a white short sleeved top and a pair of blue boxer briefs was sitting down on the sofa of her treehouse reading a book she had recently acquired as a gift from the Royal Magister himself. The book was about old myths and legends linked to the Ancient Dragons. This was none other than Sash Lilac, the first of the three heroes of Avalice also a descendant of the Ancient Dragons, with the only proof of that being the two small horns on her head and the pair of long whippy tendrils that appeared to act like hair yet could also be used in combat as well. Lilac also wore a blue ear piece over each of her ears which was in fact hearing aids make specially for her due to a genetic defect that renders her fish fin looking ears useless making her extremely hard-of-hearing if not deaf without her earpieces on.
As Lilac was too busy to pay attention to the noises around her due to all her focus being directed at what she was reading, she didn't noticed someone else had entered the room till they had placed their hand on Lilac's shoulder causing Lilac to quickly turn her head halfway to see her lime green furred 13 years old red neck handkerchief and tomboyish sleeveless black top and green shorts wearing wildcat friend and the second hero of Avalice Carol Tea The Wildcat smiling down at her before speaking up.
"You still reading that thing Lilac? This is like the tenth time I've seen you reading that book now" Carol cooed after seeing what her dragon friend was reading earning her a shrug from Lilac as she spoke up.
"Well there's not really much to do ever since we became well known for saving our world from Lord Brevon last year Carol besides-"
"You can't get that dragon prince legend out of your head." Carol interrupted rolling her eyes as Lilac closed the book she was holding and placed it down on the table followed by her stretching her arms out as she stood up before speaking once more.
"Oh come on Carol, you can't say you're not interested to it as well, you and I both know, there are only five types of dragons with me as one of the last few or maybe even the only water-dragon alive, and well... this dragon prince could also be a water dragon as well..."
Carol just crossed her arms as she rolled her eyes again. "As much as I'd like to go on a treasure hunt, I find it hard to believe there was once a type of dragon who could harness the power of the Kingdom Stone to be granted these unknown abilities."
"Bloodline." Lilac corrected Carol. "It was a bloodline thing not a type of dragon Carol. Say any letters from Milla yet? Not been the same since she started to stay in Shang Tu so the Magister's people could teach and train her to defend herself better."
Carol shook her head. "Nope, nothing from her but hey, her training should be done by tomorrow meaning, she'll be living back with us again and I was thinking... maybe we should throw her a welcome home party tomorrow, what ya think?"
"That sounds like a great idea Carol! I can't wait for her to be living with us again!" Lilac said full of enthusiasm the second she heard Carol's idea.
Before another word could be said both Lilac and Carol heard a female voice calling for them outside of the treehouse causing both friends to go balcony to see a female panda with a shapely figure and shoulder-length black hair, wearing a purple set of armor and holding a scepter with an ice crystal in the end of it. Both Lilac and Carol knew her as Neera-Li, the royal priestess for Shang Tu and one of the Magister's personal royal guards.
Both of the girls waved down to Neera as Carol spoke up. "Long time no see Neera! Didn't expect to see you anytime soon!"
"I am not here for idle chit chat, the Magister has requested your presence at Shang Tu. I am not allowed to say the reason for the request due to that being classified information." Neera replied with a strict sounding all business tone of voice.
"I'll go get dressed quickly and join you down there Carol." Lilac said as she turned around and walked back into the tree house to get dressed.
Shang Tu
As Lilac and Carol was waiting outside the Throne Room to be called in. Lilac was currently waiting silently while Carol was bored out of her mind which she was making no effort to hide. "Ugh! What is taking them so long in there!? It feels like we've been waiting for hours!"
"It's only been five minutes Carols." Lilac replied.
Suddenly Lilac and Carol heard a young female voice call out theirs name followed by Lilac finding herself being tackled hugged to the floor by a 11 years old white Hush Basset with Jade green eyes, messy short orange hair with two green crystalline bands on both of her ears, along with a orange crystal bracelet on her left wrist and a green crystalline bracelet on her right wrist and orange crystalline bracelet around her right ankle and a green crystalline bracelet around her left ankle. This was none other than the third hero of Avalice, Milla Basset.
Lilac hugged Milla as she slowly sat up happy to see her young canine friend as a large panda bear walked up to the trio. He was dressed in golden shogun armor with spiked shoulder pads, he had a short black ponytail and a large bronze-gold shield attached to his back. This was General Gong, the Magister's other personal royal guard and someone who was way more friendly towards the three girls then Neera would ever be towards them, his voice not hiding it as he spoke up.
"Figures you two would be dragged here as well. Can't say I'm surprised given what this is meeting is about. Take it Neera refused to tell you two anything?"
Both Lilac and Carol nodded causing Gong to let out a unsurprised sigh. "Well don't let her know I told you this, but the Royal Magister may of found ruins of an long lost city that dates back to the time of the Ancient Dragons. I don't get how it is linked to the Ancient Dragons. I don't recall any historical information pointing to them building a city outside of Pangu Lagoon."
Hearing this caused Lilac's eyes to widen as she spoke up with shock in her voice. "W-What!? A city linked to my ancestors!?"
Before another word could be said the doors of the throne room opened to reveal a tall figure wearing blue robes and a gold piece of headwear hiding all physical futures of his species. His face was obscured by shadows aside from his glowing light purple eyes. This was the Royal Magister, the leader of Shang Tu himself. As the three girls walked in Gong followed them and stood still behind Lilac, Carol and Milla who was currently bowing in front of the Magister who spoke up.
"You nor your friends need not to bow to me dragonblood. You spared our world from many years of bloodshed. It is I who should be kneeing to you three."
The three girls stood up straight as the Magister continued to speak. "Now you may be wondering why I have requested your presence here today. Allow me to put an end to that. I believe you have had enough time to study the information within the gift I gave you dragonblood."
Lilac nodded as she spoke up. "Yeah, but I keep finding myself rereading the part about-"
"The Kingdom Stone Dragon Prince?" The Magister said not allowing Lilac to finish. "That is the very reason I have requested you three be here today in front of him. It is no mere legend or myth."
Carol spoke up with disbelief in her voice. "Hold on, you saying there really is an dragon who's a prince from ancient times still kicking around the place?"
"Yes." The Magister replied as he turned his back to them to look down over the city of Shang Tu before speaking up again. "I have spent many years searching for the son of King Ryu due to a promise one of my own ancestors made to him. If anything was to happen to him, my ancestor was to ensure Ryu's son would live to see another day, and if need be, be the voice of guidance to the young prince and now... I have finally found him, the hiding place of King Ryu's son, and I intend to keep the promise my ancestor made to his father."
Hearing this caused Lilac's brain to go into meltdown while Carol spoke up. "So, what's stopping ya from waking this prince up? Got some big nasty monster blocking the way that you need us to take care off first?"
The Magister turned back to face the three girls with his eyes closed. "No. I feel that at the very least the saviors of our world should be the ones to witness the return of King Ryu's son. Even if there are those who don't agree with my decision." The Magister said causing Neera to let out an auditable "Hpfm" making it clear she wasn't exactly happy of those with a background such as Lilac and Carol's to be involved in this.
Lilac then suddenly spoke up, her voice a bit shaken. "T-This prince is he-"
"A water dragon?" The Magister asked finishing what Lilac was saying. "That I do not know. Now I would like for you three to accompany Neera to the hiding place of this long lost prince. I would go myself but alas I have my duty to the people here and I believe it would do some good if a dragon was presence when King Ryu's son is returned to this world."
Carol then suddenly gave a snicker before she spoke up. "Yeah well, Neera never was one for making a good first impression, so good thing you want us to go with her."
Neera just glared at Carol causing Carol to give Neera a cheeky grin causing Neera to speak up. "I am under orders to not provoke the prince nor show him any disrespect."
Lilac then spoke up her mind having mostly calmed down now. "So when do we leave?"
"Soon. I suggest you make your preparations now, there is no telling what was left behind to guard the hiding place of King Ryu's son." The Magister replied.
Unknown location, almost noon
The trip was rather short as the group of four soon found themselves standing in front of a massive palace like building in the middle of an empty ruined city, the ground littered with old rusty weapons with the remains of the owners nowhere to be found, there even a few weapons that none of the group had ever seen before, these strange weapons were rusted beyond repair which was something Carol found a bit frustrating.
"Aww man! Another one that can't be fixed up!" Carol said as she threw one of the strange blaster looking weapon onto the ground in anger.
Lilac wasn't taking any notice as her eye was just glued to the building in front of them, it having been mostly left in-touched by time, the size of it was enough to give the palace back in Shang Tu a run for it's money. Lilac was just glad the sun was still up, as she had already pictured how scary the building in front of her would of looked if the moon was in the sky instead.
"So... you think the one we're looking for is in here?" Lilac asked Neera who was standing next to her.
"I would believe so, if this dragon we are looking for was to be hidden here, it would have to be a building that could withstand most of the effects of time, like the very one in front of us." Neera replied as she was scanning the building for any hidden traps causing Lilac's hands to form into fists leading to Milla raising her voice, worried for her water dragon friend.
"Lilac? Are you okay? You don't have to go inside with us if you-"
"I'm fine..." Lilac interrupted. "I just can't stand waiting around knowing there could be another water dragon so close to us right now."
Hearing this caused Neera to speak again. "As long as I am here, we're doing this my way."
Sick of waiting around Lilac took a step forwards closing her eyes. "Sorry, but I've waited long enough Neera."
That was the last thing Lilac said before using her signature move, the Dragon Boost to speed off into the building ignoring the angry voice that belonged to Neera and the worried voices of her two friends Carol and Milla calling for Lilac to come back to them.
As Lilac was speeding down the many hallways of this building, not having encountered a single trap at all she caught one of the doors was open a bit causing her to skid to a halt in front of the door and slowly open it up to reveal a bedroom that looked just like a normal room you would expect to find in a palace. The first she noticed was the window of the room was open, and besides the window was another one of those strange blaster like weapons from the outside, expect this one didn't have a single bit of rust on it at all, along with it's barrel being longer and thinner, with what looked like a small telescope attached on the middle of this weapon which Lilac found rather strange and useless but never the less walked over to it wanting a closer look as she picked it up with both her hands as she spoke up.
"I guess Carol will be happy to know about this... still why does it have such a small telescope attached to it?"
Lilac then placed back where it was and looked out of the window to find it was overlooking the area she had left Neera, Milla and Carol who was nowhere to be seen, since they had given chase to try and find Lilac. Lilac closed the window of the room and walked over to the bed and sat down on the end of it crossing her legs as she leaded back looking around at the room.
"I wonder who this room used to belonged to." Lilac said out loud before she noticed a single-edge katana resting on one of the shelves of a book case in the room. From where she was sitting she saw it's dirt-less clean blade was about two meters long with the sun reflecting off the silver blade, with its grip which was colored yellow and black. It didn't take long for curiosity to take control of Lilac causing her to stand up and walk over to this katana and pick it up with one hand on the blade and the other on the hilt causing a clicking noise to be heard followed by the shelves in front of her to move to the side to reveal a hidden room.
Without thinking Lilac walked into this new room taking the katana with her, walking towards the light at the far end of the room, her footsteps getting faster and faster as more of it came into view till she saw some kind of pod with a person in it causing her to run over to it dropping the katana on the floor as she placed her hands on the glass with a shocked looked on her face at what she saw inside this pod.
"Y-You really are alive..." Was all Lilac said as she looked down at a half-dragon just like her, same age as well expect this one was male and had ice blue skin instead. Also unlike her, he didn't have any long tendrils that she did, instead this half-dragon had short black spikey hair. As she looked him over his clothing she saw he was wearing a short sleeved black top, with black trousers and a pair of black laceless trainers. Resting over the top of his was black unzipped jacket. She took note that unlike her, this dragon didn't have fish fin like ears like she did but her mind was more focused on this half-dragon's clothing since she found it to be very out of place, to what the inhabits of Avalice would normally wear.
"That's some strange clothing there... you don't really dress like a prince do you?" Lilac asked out loud just before she noticed what was powering the pod causing her eyes to widen as she saw what looked like an smaller version of the Kingdom Stone's old physical form before it turned into the crystalline vortex it is today.
"Wait is that!? But how!?" Lilac then looked back at the sleeping within the pod. "Let's see if I can wake you up."
Lilac started to look over the pod to see if there was any kind of switch on it to open it which not taking her long to find said switch she backed up as the pod started to slowly open up followed by the half-dragon within it to fall out onto his hands and knees coughing looking up at her for a few seconds later allowing her to see his dark blue eyes as he struggled to speak.
"B-Behind you... S-Shadow W-Wolf... ugh..."
Lilac turned around only to have a look of fear on her face as she saw an oversized feral wolf made of pure shadows walking up to her, then suddenly pounce at her causing Lilac to close her eyes as she brought her arms up in front of her face with little time to react. After a few seconds Lilac heard the sound of metal hitting the ground and opened her eyes to find the half-dragon from within the pod was now standing in front of her down one knee holding his chest having trouble breathing as he mumbled something that Lilac was just about able to make out.
"Y-You're w-welcome." Was what she just about heard before the half-dragon fall to the ground out cold just as Carol, Milla and Neera came running in.
