Chapter I Gnome Willpower

July 4 XXXX Eastern Kingdoms

Beautiful day in Elwynn Forest and hunters are out practicing for the upcoming season. A local hunter trainer is looking for the pesky bears that been attacking people. Suddenly there was some movement in a nearby bush. The hunter takes aim with his bow, his dog starts to growl. The dog goes running into the bush barking. Two silver pigtails pop out of the bush as he hears giggles. He puts his bow down.

"I KNOW IT'S YOU SILVER! Step on out already and I told you not to follow me."

The dog whimpers as he drags out Silver's bloody corpse!

"Oh shoot." The trainer runs next to Silver. Silver pops right up with a smile.

"Got yah! I faked it, can you train me now?" Silver asked

He stands with his arms crossed and his pet goes to sit next to him.

"You don't have the strength to pull back the bow. Your pet would block your view. That's why no one in the kingdom will train a gnome as a hunter. I'm sorry Silver."

Silver brings out a Base stone and she begins to glow.

"This is the 33rd time I've asked you(her eyes begin to swell)...sniff...sniff..fine, I'll never bug you again. But I'll become a hunter no matter what." She says as she disappeared.

She ends up at the Lion's Pride Inn. Silver walks up to the bar slumped over. Her best childhood friend Myshka is there waiting for her.

"I see he turned you down again Silver." Myshka says with a worried look on her face.

Silver climbs up to the bar stool. A drink gets set in front of Silver and she drinks it in one shot.

"Silver slow down its not the end of the world." Myshka said. Silver falls out of the chair.

"See told you." Myshka levitates Silver off the ground upside down. Silver is smashed after one drink. But in her stupor she see's a portal opening and a hunter walks out of the portal.

"Myshka I got it! Put me down." Silver yells. Silver starts looking back and forth and came up with a bright idea.

"Meet me in my shop in two days Myshka." Silver tells her

"I'll take you home now Silver, you can't even walk." Myshka starts walking out while dragging Silver in the air through levitate.

"Ok...ok..put me down first." Silver says

"Oh no. I'm lazy I'll carry you this way. I"ll take you home on Ferrous." Myshka said

Silver's face blanched as if she'd seen a ghost.

"YOUR HORSE HATES ME!" Silver yells.

The next morning you see Silver's bedroom. Standard Gnome's room, you see a small lump on the bed and a giant tool box on the floor near the bed. A large gear clock on the wall spinning like there's no tomorrow. Bombling alarm goes off "BEEP BEEP BEEP!" The lump doesn't move. "BEEP BEEP BEEP!" Still no movement in the movement starts in the giant tool box. Silver fell into the box again. She sits up with screws and bolts in her hair.

"It took all night but i got it done." Silver says to herself with a smile in her face. You see a metallic portal made with all sorts of spare parts and arcane crystals.

"Now I need to get Myshka." Silver walks up to the bed and pulls the covers off to reveal Myshka passed out. Dead to the work with a wine bottle in hand.

"I'm up I'm up….such a headache. Oh wow you actually got it done in one night."

"Now i need you to summon me a hunter trainer from another world cause no one in this world is going to train me. So I'll look in another."

"Alright stand back Silver things are about to get serious...by the way you know our Master ain't going to be to happy with us messing with other dimensions."

At a local temple a draenei reads the Light Scriptures. He sneezed so hard he nearly fell over from the bench. He had a good idea what was the cause of that sneeze. He closed the book and starts running.

Back to Silver's room. Myshka with a hard look of concentration on her face and lightning coming out of her hands. The lightning starts arching between the crystals creating geometric symbols in the middle of the portal.

"Just a little more!" Myshka says

"I'm so excited its about to happen." Silver says with tears in her eyes.

"GOD'S HAMMER!" Master yells as he sees what the girls are up to.

"What are you two doing?!" Master asked. Crystals are shining around the portal.

"I'm summoning a trainer from another dimension to train Silver since no one here would do it Master." Myshka answers

"Dimensional portals are dangerous, you two are over your heads. As your Guild Master I order you to STOP!" They continued with the portal.

"You leave me with no choice, LIGHT'S HAMMER!" A magical hammer gets thrown at the portal and the power of the Light combines with the Arcane lightning. It goes silent and the portal opens up. Water starts rushing out of the portal filling up the room. The master just sits on the floor with his legs crossed with a dead stare on both Silver and Myshka.

"I am NOT amused." Master mutters

July 4 USA

Archie comes storming out of business building upset and a bit steamed. His personal car is waiting for him outside.

"Where to Young Master?" Driver asked

" Take me somewhere to blow off some steam."

"So to the range sir?"

"No they'll find me there so take me home."

"Tell me David, Am I wrong to be mad not to be chosen?" Archie asked the driver David

"They chose your Older brother Connor?"

"Yeah…(sigh)..you know i train harder and longer than he does?" Archie says

"Takes this time to think of what you can do with your talents maybe teaching?"

"Me a teacher?...Well if my brother fails I'll be there to pick up the pieces. You know what? I'm done, no more. I'm not picking up that weapon up, screw the family Legacy. I'll start my own Legacy. But first I need to get away and blow some steam."

Been driving for a while and almost home. Large mansion with its own personal Olympic size pool. Archie walks in and goes straight to the pool and changes into a green speedo. Above the pool is a glass sealing. A thunderstorm starts to brew up in the sky.

"What the hell, it was clear a second ago." Archie notices the clouds

Archie stops looking at the sky and starts diving off the high diving board. After a few dives he goes up for one more. He walks up to the diving board and sets up for a back flip dive. With his back turned to the water he doesn't notice a whirlpool opening up in the pool. He puts his hands together above his head and looks up and sees a maelstrom of clouds and lightning. The pool starts get lower and lower in water level.

"Ok, last one." Archies says as he takes a deep breath. He jumps as he spins he notices the whirlpool.

"OOOOOHHHH CCRRAAAPPP!"

Back in Silver's room

Water keeps coming out of the portal and Archie gets spit out. The portal close after Archie comes out.

"Its a Merman! Kill it kill it!" Silver yells. Silver and Myshka get into offensive position.

"STOP! he's human." Master orders. Silver looks close with a smile and tears in her eyes it worked.

"I got my trainer Myshka! I got him….but why is he almost naked?" Silver asked. She flips him over on his back and listens for a heartbeat. At that moment Archie grabs her and pulls her in for a passionate kiss. Silver just melts as she enjoys her first kiss. "Oh my...go get him Silver." Myshka says with a laugh.

They stop kissing and Archie opens his eyes to see Silver just flushed red with embarrassment.

"Did we just….you know?" Archie asked Silver. Silver just covers her face with her hands peeking through the fingers and nodding her head. Silver quickly gets off him and goes over to Myshka and waves at her to come down. Myshka bends over to hear what she has to say.

"If this is the kind of training I'm going to get we should of done this sooner(they both giggle) thank you Myshka."

"What am I doing here? What is this place? What happen to the pool?" Archie asked

"Calm down young man. I will explain all to you." Master said

"Can i get some clothes i'm a little naked here." (Silver and Myshka giggle in the background.)

"Myshka get him some clothes." Master ordered

"I'm on it Master." Myshka smiles as she teleports away.

Saint walks up to Archie and gives him his cloak. Archie wraps himself around with it. Archie looks up to Saint and waits for answers.

"You were brought here, due to the desperation of one of my Guild members. This Gnome here Silver has been trying to get a teacher to train her in the ways of a hunter. Due to her size and strength no one will train her. Since no one here will train her, they summoned you. Welcome to our world Azeroth, you're in the Stormwind City."

Poof Myshka comes back with leather clothes for him to wear. Silver walks up to Archie.

"Are you a hunter trainer? (Gulp) Can you train me?" She climbs on top of him and looks deep into his eyes. Archie looks back into Silver eyes and sees her desperation and what she had to go thru.

"Should not be a problem, buy the time i'm done with you. Everyone will know your name. Now can you send me back home?" Archie asked as he finishes putting on his clothes. With a concerned look on her face she looks back to the portal.

"That may take a while to rebuild the portal back. The crystals i need are rare." Silver explain

"It is my duty as a Guild Master to take responsibility for my members. You are now a member of our guild. Until we can send you back your expenses will be on us. Stand up and repeat after me the guilds oath.(Archie stands)

IN GOOD STORMWIND DAYS, IN DARNASSUS NIGHTS. NO EVIL SHALL ESCAPE OUR SIGHTS. LET THOSE WHO ABUSE THEIR MIGHT. BEWARE OUR POWER, THE GOTHAM KNIGHTS.

Archie thinks for a sec, that this oath sounds familiar. Silver dances in the background with joy.
