Chapter 1:EARTH. The land of the violent race called Humans. According to them, they are the most intelligent species,
but other species from other planets would say otherwise. It was strange, what happened in the 8th year of High School on this planet.
It was a mess. Omega and Korsabad had just gotten out of Math class, went to their lockers, put their stuff inside their lockers
, and then got out of there to head over to the canteen when they heard a sound. "Did you hear that?" Omega asked, slowing down.
Korsabad nodded. It seemed like no one else noticed though. Omega turned to Silver, his best friend, and asked, "Crash? Did you hear that?"
Silver's real name was actually Crash, but she had it legally changed to Silver because she liked it better. As it turns out,
Omega was still getting used to calling Silver by her new name, but Korsabad liked the name "Crash" better. "Omega! Stop it!"
she exclaimed, her eyebrows knitting together. "My name's Silver!" "Well, did you?" Omega repeated. Silver let out a sigh. "No!" Omega stared at her quizzically and saw that Korsabad was confused too.
Why had no one else heard it? He shrugged it off and went to the canteen and bought some food.
Korsabad turned to Omega and asked, "Did we really hear a sound?" Omega scoffed. "I'd think I was crazy if you didn't hear it too."
Something caught their ears. Silence. They looked around them. Everyone seemed to be stopped in mid-sentence or walking. Time had frozen.
"Not good," Korsabad said, looking at Omega to confirm that Omega was still moving. "Lets check the other rooms," Omega suggested and Korsabad nodded. They went into the locker bay and tried every single door that was there.
Locked. They tried other doors. Still locked. Omega's heart fell inside of him. "What if..." Omega started, unwilling to finish it. "If they're stuck like that forever?" Korsabad finished.
Omega looked at the people around him as Korsabad left him to keep on searching. Silver... He felt as though he had lost everyone in the world... and there was nothing he could do about it. No chance of saving them from this frozen state. Not the slightest hope.
After five minutes, Omega went looking for Korsabad, hoping that he didn't end up getting frozen too.
He sighed, relieved that Korsabad was still breathing when he found him sitting in the middle of the plaza. "Korsabad? You okay?" he asked since Korsabad didn't move a muscle. Korsabad didn't reply, but Omega knew he was okay.
As long as he was still breathing, he was fine. Omega sat down next to Korsabad. "Who did you lose?" Omega thought. "Anyone specific?" Another five minutes passed.
The situation remained the same. Suddenly, Korsabad's eyes widened and he threw a glance behind him. "Run!" he shouted, jumping to his feet and dashing across the plaza. Omega looked back and saw a guy with long spiky hair.
Omega leapt up and was at Korsabad's side quickly, but the guy was faster. The man spun around and round-housed Korsabad, knocking Korsabad into Omega, making them both fall in front of the main office.
"The name is Envy," the attacker sneered. "Why did you attack us? How come you're not frozen in time like the others?" Omega demanded, staring into the man's eyes to let him know that Omega was not defeated.
"Because Pride came here before I did. That's why," the man said, looking down on them, dismissing Omega's gaze.
A large portal opened and a man with a mustache and wearing a patch over his eye came out and hit the back of Envy's head.
The portal's power increased and Envy's limp body got sucked inside before the portal closed. "You guys should be more careful," the man said. "We didn't do anything!" Korsabad said, leaping to his feet, ready to fight this newcomer.
"You don't need to fight me. I'm here to help you save your friends," the man reassured. "Really!" Omega exclaimed, jumping to his feet. "C'mon, Korsabad, let's go!" Korsabad scratched the back of his head. "I don't know about this." "Come on! We need to get these people un-frozen!" Omega pleaded.
Korsabad finally relented and let the man lead them into another portal that opened. Omega, Korsabad, and the strange guy arrived on the other side of the portal into a large building filled with soldiers.
"Follow me," the guy said. "I'll lead you to the man that will help you." "Wait, we don't even know your name," Korsabad said, stopping in his tracks. "Forgive me," the man said, turning around and giving a bow. "I'm Fuhrer King Bradley.
" Korsabad looked at Omega. He was regretting his decision to go with this guy and Omega. Omega grinned and waved him on. Korsabad's muscles tensed, but he followed Fuhrer King Bradley anyway.
King Bradley showed them the way to go and said, "You're going to be working with Colonel Roy Mustang. Ask for him at the receptionist desk, okay lads?" Omega and Korsabad started to walk towards the receptionist's desk when another portal opened and sucked them in, both of them screaming for help as the portal closed.
Omega woke up slowly and took in his surroundings. A prison. He stood up and looked at himself. He was a reploid. He had seen a few of them at school, but this looked more suited for combat. His eyes widened and he started to pound at the prison bars, not feeling like himself, until he had broken through.
"Korsabad?" he whispered, crouching and looking through the other prison cells. Metal bars of another prison snapped as a huge fist was driven into them. Omega fell to the ground and drew back.
A large creature emerged and Omega exclaimed, "WHO ARE YOU!" "Omega?" the creature asked. "Is that you?" "Korsabad?" Omega asked, getting up and moving towards the creature slowly. "Omega!" Korsabad exclaimed. "I was so worried! Where are we?" "Don't know," Omega answered coldly. They looked at the area around their prison bars. It looked as if they were deep in the ground.
The walls stretched into what seemed to be infinity. It was round and stony, the only way of getting up was a series of elevators made from wood, pulleys, and rope.
Strange bipedal rhinoceroses were grabbing armor and weapons, as well as bipedal wolves. A glint came into Omega's and Korsabad's eyes. "Lets take 'em," Omega said, grinning, and Korsabad nodded.
Korsabad grabbed onto Omega and threw him towards the guards, Omega pulling out a scythe from off his back and activating it.
The blade was made of pure energy and Omega dug it into the stunned guards as he landed on the bridge, cutting through their metal armor easily. Korsabad soon followed, digging his powerful hands and feet into the rock wall and jumping up the wall until he had reached Omega.
"Keep going! I'll catch up!" Omega yelled, taking out a guard behind him by hitting the guard with some blue stuff that seemed to be his hair. Korsabad nodded and kept going, taking out the guards on the next bridge easily.
A name emerged in Omega's head and he suddenly shouted, "None can stop Prometheus!" He took out the last four guards on his level by four fiery skulls that emerged from his hand. He looked up and saw that Korsabad was already on the next level.
He teleported from level to level, unsure how he was doing it himself, but for right now, it didn't matter. His blade was thirsty. Korsabad thought for a moment while jumping up the wall to get to the next level before deciding that it might not be best to use Omega's real name while down here.
"Prometheus! How many do you have?" "27! You?" "36!" Korsabad yelled back, adding as soon as he took 2hrs 7mins ago. They made their way up, using the same tactics as before, until they reached the exit of the cave. Everybody inside was dead and there was a huge blizzard outside. "Total count, 63," Prometheus said, stepping into the cold. "80," Korsabad said. Prometheus whistled. "We need to give you a new name! I say Warlord." "Warlord," Korsabad said slowly.
"I like it! Warlord reporting for duty." Prometheus chuckled and put his scythe back on his back after deactivating it. A small blue light appeared, stopping the two, gradually getting bigger until it form into a transparent turtle.
"Don't be afraid. I am the spirit of Oogway," the turtle said. "Oogway?" Prometheus asked, raising an eyebrow. "Yes. Come with me and I will lead you to a shelter," Oogway said, nodding. "Wait," Warlord said, stopping Oogway before he turned around.
"Where are we?" "You're in China," Oogway said, turning around and floating softly down the mountain. Warlord looked down at Prometheus and Prometheus shrugged and followed Oogway. Warlord looked back to see what they were escaping from. A tall icy mountain. Warlord ran down to Prometheus and Oogway.
It was barely noticeable, but when the landscape changed enough, they were teleported to a large Chinese palace. "Hmm... this is weird... sort of," Warlord said, looking around to see where Oogway had disappeared to. "Maybe, maybe not," Prometheus said angrily, "but we're supposed to be asking for that Colonel Mustang guy, not going to some palace! What're we doing here?" The image of the school flashed back in his mind and he cringed.
Everybody was frozen in time. Innocent people. "Why?" though Prometheus sadly. "Why were they involved?" A door leading to the training section of the palace opened and Prometheus crouched, wondering what was going on.
Six bipedal animals emerged, a bird named Crane, a tiger called Tigress, a snake named Viper, a monkey named Monkey, a mantis called Mantis, and a panda named Po. "Who are you?" Prometheus asked, staying in his crouched stance.
"Where are we?" "You're in China," Tigress answered coldly, looking them over. "We know that," Prometheus retorted. "But WHERE in China?" "You're in the palace of the Furious Five and the Dragon Warrior," Mantis said. "Who are you?" "Prometheus is the name," Prometheus said. "My name is Warlord," Warlord replied.
"Do you think that this could be an enemy?" Po whispered to Tigress. "Don't know," Tigress whispered back.
She turned back to Prometheus and Warlord. "Why are you here?" "I don't know!" Prometheus said angrily. "Some idiot named Oogway appeared and transported–" "Oogway was NOT an idiot!" another voice yelled out.
A small lemur stepped out of the building. "He was the best of us." "Well, he didn't transport us to where we needed to go!" Prometheus retorted.
"If that's not idiocy, I don't know what is." "Silence!" the lemur yelled.
"Maybe Oogway teleported us here for a reason," Warlord whispered to Prometheus. "Doubt it. We've never met the guy," Prometheus whispered.
"Anyway, if you think that Oogway wasn't an idiot, you must be too," he said to the lemur and the animals. "Get them!" the lemur yelled and all of the animals leapt towards Warlord and Prometheus. "Prepare for oblivion!" Prometheus shouted, swinging his scythe at Monkey.
Monkey nimbly curled over the blade and hit Prometheus, opening him for the next attack from Tigress. She flew at Prometheus and hit him in the stomach, making him bend over for a second and try to retaliate, but Monkey and Tigress easily avoided his attacks.
He was about to call out to Warlord but saw that he had his hands full with the rest of the animals. The panda was the most troublesome. Tigress and Monkey came at him from both sides, ready to hit him in the legs and the head.
He spun around, his blue hair lashing out at them and slicing into them, but their attack continued, knocking him over.
He flailed his scythe around wildly, trying to deter another attack while he got up. Tigress's fist hit him in the chest and he flew across the palace floor, sliding to a halt.
"No way that any normal person could've done that," he thought, trying to catch his breath. He looked over at Warlord. He was already out cold and the rest of the animals were slowly approaching him.
Po rushed out and yelled, "Prepare to feel the thunder!" Prometheus jumped unsteadily to his feet and Po slammed into Prometheus with his belly, making Prometheus slam into the wall and lose consciousness.
