Chapter one: Keepers return
A/N: Sorry that I haven't updated any of my stories and this new one will raise questions but im still working on the rest.
For thousands of years a keeper waged war on heroes and his own kind causing the extinction of the Keeper race he was once known as the red or Nameless Keeper. Years went where other realms including earth went without seeing a keeper no one knows why red died only that he did. But a force has brought keepers back a thousand to start off with. 19 did something that had never been done each having a dungeon on earth and in other realms they formed a alliance by combining their capital dungeon hearts together to ensure no betrayals could happen between them. One minor difference between the keepers of old and this new generation was they could actually build surface buildings and settle the surface as well as the underground. Only a few colors exist now Blue, Green, Orange, Black, Grey, Yellow and Red. Red has taken the dungeons of the nameless keeper who wear his color before him Blue, Green and yellow have formed a tridtional keeper alliance planning on betraying one another when Red has been killed. Our story starts in the Blue Dungeon.
A woman dressed in a blue robe walks through a corridor there are torches on the wall. She has a book under her arm as she passes other creatures they bow and say "Master witch glad to see you." She nods as she walks by stopping infront of a door in the wall she turns the nob and walks into her office to see a man wearing a blue robe with a crown on his head she quickly kneels before him.
"Stand Master Witch and give me the reports on the attack tommowrrow."
She stands as she walks over to a map on the desk in the room "A spoke with the Master Black Knight and he said all was as Planned that Green and Yellow have the forces ready and waiting."
He Nods as he walks around the room "Good tell the master Troll and Bile demon to make the traps only to where they will not harm my creatures and to turn them all the way up to where they can kill anything that isn't mine."
"But Keeper that will kill a lot of Green and Yellows men."
"Good the weaker they both are the better it will be when we take them out."
The witch nods as she walks towards the door to exit as she leaves she sees the Blue Keeper vanish she sighs. She makes her way into a room there is furnaces going and sounds of work she spots a giant creature that is hammering away on a anvil. She walks up to him and smiles as she says "Master Troll the Keeper wishes you to make the traps harmless to us but deadly to all others."
He scoffs as he picks up the sword he was working on and dips it into water "I knew it I already ordered that to happen I guessed as much so explain to me why the Master Witch was told this and not my Head troll or any other troll."
She scrowls she hated talking to the other masters because most had been in the dungeon longer then her and felt the need to remind her of this. She turns and leaves as the troll contuines his work she heads back to her study to relax before the invasion tomowrrow.
The room is dark and cold as a man turns on a light above his head a trap door is seen he lifts it up as he walks down it. As the stairs end a corridor begins he walks down it to see imps run past him. He chuckles as he walks into a room with a hug object in the middle it acts as if it is a beating heart. He touches it and appears in another room. He walks out of the room he is in and heads down a hall way as he passes a door a woman in chain mail walks up to him and bows "Keeper I have a messege for you Keeper Alice wishes to speak with you see is waiting for you at the Tavern in the north east sector of the city."
He nods "Thank you Master Knight now go on." He walks towards a door that has Portal room written on it. The only way up to the surface was through these rooms a entrance was on the other side of the portal. He walks around it and up the stairs behind it he exits out inside a huge room. He walks through the room and outside he sees the tavern he is looking for. He walks in and sees a young woman sitting at a table drinking slowly as he walks up and sits down in front of her he smiles "Keeper Alice what to I owe this vist I thought you were with Jack claiming more terriotory for the alliance."
She glares at him "No as it turns out I have info for the alliance Appearntly Green, Blue and Yellow will be attacking red tomowrrow and I think they are going to betray each other at the same time."
He nods as he orders himself a drink "So how does this help us."
She smiles "Means that they are to distracted to come this way so we can countie to build and secure."
He smiles back and nods "We have more men then any keeper but your right as long as there distracted we should be fine."
She looks him over and smiles "You know that war between those four will leave a vacuum where ever they go because some one will strike at them when there weak."
He chuckles as he sips his drink "And you wish us to be the ones to do that."
She nods "Hell yes I wish for the alliance to gain all that turf and everything else they have to offer because something tells me that the 1000 keepers that exist there will be a shortage of us soon and the colors will be the cause."
He looks of into the distance "Your right but what do we do about it we haven't acutallly fought another keeper since Jericho and Zack took on Keeper Kirck and defeated him."
Alice sighs as she stands up "Regardless I will have my men at the ready so will Jack the first sign of weakness from any other keeper out there and they will belong to us."
"What if they beg you to turn them into a vessel."
"Then we will and make them speak an oath and turn there dungeon into an alliance dungeon."
He nodded and thought to be turned into a vessel was degraded for a keeper you became bound to the keeper who you vessel for and you became a lesser keeper a keeper with minor power and pull and your dungeon becomes the other keepers in this case the Alliance. The Alliance had 19 keepers in it now no dungeon that they own is strictly there's it belongs to the Alliance but you controlled what dungeons you find or make but the capital and vessels are the alliance and any one of the alliance can choose to run it at any time. Now a lot of keepers frown on these because that means that you're sharing your dungeon and ect. With other keepers but we didn't care we found a way to leave together make ourselves stronger as well as prevent war that would destroy all that we hold dear. HE chuckles at this time the alliance had 12 vessel keepers yes that still puts the count at 999 because they destroyed Kirck.
The sounds of digging can be heard as imps dig a path and set traps down as they go a army of creatures walk behind them wearing blue with a blue flag waving In the air. The imps stop when they get to a wall that has a red gem in the middle of it. They set down the last of the traps as the army walks out of the tunnel and into a huge room that had beds and other stuff. The imps build a door in front of the wall just in case red digs out before green and yellow get here. A man in black armor walks along the ranks and shouts at them "Are you ready."
All the creatures shout back "Yes."
He smiles as he watches the imps running around making sure that they don't secure any walls so green and yellow can just tunnel in. The walls on either side of the tunnels give way as creatures in yellow and green uniforms come out. As they exit the traps go off dropping creature after creature. Imps secure along and pick up the bodies as the green and yellow start to back off not before a long portion of their army is destroyed. The blue imps brake down the final wall between red and them as the creatures poor out. As the exit throw the hole they see green and yellows army falling to traps and creatures alike. An imp limps out of the tunnel as it collapses he makes his way to the heart and teleports.
Blue Capital
The imp appears infront of the Blue Keeper and with his dying breathe says "Red defeated us we lost Master Black Knight."
He dies as the keeper looks around at all his masters "Find me the head black knight and tell him he has been promoted."
The masters hurry off as the Blue keeper watches Green and Yellow Appear before him "What the hell happened out there my armies where destroyed by your traps."
Yellow nods as the blue sighs "Must have been a malfunction I had all the new trolls build them for learning experience."
Yellow buys it but green walks up to him and growls "I lost five masters in that attack where as you only lost one I expect it to go better next time now if you don't mind I have some matters to take care of."
Blue vanishes as does yellow Blue growls as he sees the Master Knight bowing before him "I want you to make a force that will start attacking the green and yellow keepers dress them in red and don't stop tell all of their turf is mine."
The Master Knight bows as he walks away the blue keeper laughs as he teleports away.
