Screw the five to twenty-one days per chapter. I want to write more. 1-14 days per chapter. This chapter has been remastered(being written yesterday...)
DISCLAIMER: I do not own MapleStory or its characters (owned by Nexon) except my own OC's. These include: Kero Mizrak, Daniel Indigo, Cyrus Indigo, Jake (Mad) and Sabrina.
CHAPTER 2: Making Friends
Kero Mizrak looked at the beast that towered above him. It snarled as a young warrior charged at it, only to be punched against the wall with such force that it could have cracked his skull. Suddenly, panic arose in the arena and everyone ran to the other exit. Junior Balrog's mouth inflated with fiery gas, only to be struck by Dances with Balrog. Dances then jumped to his height and spun round, causing an energy storm as his axe smashed several times against the beast. Kero ran away, looking at Dances duel with the beast. He soon arrived with the other panicking warriors and then remembered the medical bay he had came out of. He saw the boy and girl who had been waiting for him when he got up.
"What's going on?" the girl asked.
"Junior Balrog..."
"You're joking!"
"No, seriou-" Kero was cut off by a flame that he barely avoided. The beast flew across the hallway, chasing the crowd of people. Out of nowhere, a smaller monster, a Baby Balrog, jumped out and latched onto Kero's face. He stumbled around the room and the girl tried to slash it off. She hit it and it scampered outside.
"What's your name anyways?" asked Kero
"I'm Sabrina and this is Jake, but we all call him Mad" she said
"Mad? Why?"
"It was Madeyeball because he can detect anything within a 500 meter radius with his left eye. His right eye is more or less worthless."
"Nice story bro" said Kero in a mocking tone. "He reminds me of that emo guy from those Japanese ninja comics who had this spinning eye...what was his name? Sask- something."
"Kero, watch out! She's a..." Mad yelled. Kero turned around, expecting a Balrog, but instead Sabrina hit him on the head with a chair.
"Sasuke is NOT an emo!" she yelled in fury.
"Owww, what was that for?"
"I TRIED to warn you that she's a crazy fangirl" Mad said. He received the same chair-to-head treatment. "Hey! Save your fight for the Balrog, not us!"
Daniel Indigo rode the beast around the sanctuary, killing everyone in sight. All of a sudden, three elite warriors appeared, determined to stop his wrath.
"Get off the Kargo now!" one of them said
"No" was Daniel's simple answer. He whistled and a few seconds later. Junior Balrog appeared behind them. The elites turned around in shock and the Wild Kargo rammed into one of the elites, the Dragon Knight. Junior Balrog trampled on him, squishing his armour.
"Panic! Five combo Orbs!" yelled one of the elites, a Crusader
The squashed warrior was freed as Junior Balrog whined in pain from the attack.
"You OK?" the Crusader asked
"Yeah. Too close for comfort" replied the Dragon Knight
"Hey! Help me out here!" yelled a feminine voice, probably the White Knight. She had the Wild Kargo on one side and the Balrog on the other.
"Dragon...ROAR!" yelled the Dragon Knight as a purple dragon head came out of nowhere and let out a powerful roar infused with Mana. The wild Kargo could barely stand but the Junior Balrog had protected himself with a shield. Daniel Indigo pointed. The Balrog nodded. It revealed its chest and three marks: Fire, Ice and Lighting. The marks combined and a ball of energy hit the White Knight, who had barely countered it with perfect shield timing and a triple elemental infusion. She then ran up to the Balrog, with an infused sword
"Mirror it!" yelled Daniel and a dark shield protected him. Suddenly, the Balrog's claw was infused too and it broke the Knight's sword and shield with ease. Then, a swarm of Baby Balrogs attacked.
"Coma! Two combo orbs!" yelled the Crusader as he swiped through five baby Balrogs and the Junior Balrog. Then, the White Knight created a ghost-like illusion to scare some of the Baby Balrogs.
"My turn! Dragon...ROAR!"
"Mirror the attack!" said Daniel as the shield protected the Junior Balrog, but the same could not be said for the babies. Then, Junior Balrog began swallowing air, as it began glowing purple.
"It's going to roar! Can't you counter it with your own roar?" asked the Crusader
"If I use it again I die, you idiot! It consumes my vitality AND Mana, remember."
"Oh yeah, good point. Well I'm out of ideas so I'll leave the thinking to you"
Kero, Sabrina and Jake had all left the sanctuary and were all hiding out in the potion shop, owned by Sabrina's parents. Sabrina's mother was busy brewing up a potion. Kero thought she was a very nice person, he had been there before and despite being 10 messo short on several different occasions, he had gotten his potions in the end.
"You two look awfully alike, even without your identical armours." Sabrina's mother remarked. Kero and Mad looked at each over. Apart from a couple of obvious differences, eye colour (Kero had brown, Mad had blue) and skin (Kero's skin was slightly more tanned than Mad's). "Are you related?"
"Nope, never met the guy until today" Kero answered
"You look like you both came out of the sewers." Sabrina muttered
"And what about you? You aren't any angel you know" replied Kero
"You sure look like one" said Mad. Kero and Sabrina gave him a "What the f***" look.
"I think he likes you" her mum replied, with her back turned, still concentrating on brewing potions.
"MUM!" she replied in an incredibly agitated voice.
"Talking of smells, I think we DID come from the sewers. I need a bath, pronto." said Kero. "If you're lucky you can go with your honeykins, eh Mad?"
"You're mincemeat!" said Sabrina, as she cracked her knuckles.
"Good idea. If that's Ok with you miss?" said Mad, trying to make himself heard over Sabrina's roaring and Kero's screams.
"Yes, its fine with me, just don't make it too deep"
"This is madness!" said the Crusader as the beast towered above him
"No...This...Is..." replied Daniel, but before he could finish, a green axe flew through the air and hit the Junior Balrog in the side of the head, a perfect hit. It toppled over, and a nimble shadow went to pick it up.
"Dances with Balrog! Thank goodness your here!" said the three elites in unison.
"It's over, Daniel. You are a mere novice, a first-jobber. But tell me, how did you gain such power?"
"I will never tell you, Dances!" said Daniel with a hiss in his voice. Then he saw it. A skill book. He knew Daniel knew he had seen it.
"Why are you doing this?" asked Dances, in a calm tone "Give me the book and this will all be over"
"Very well...! I am no ordinary warrior! I come from the elite Indigo family, who were all exterminated because you said they were 'a threat'. They were only a threat to your reign over these lands! I have power. I will show you the TRUE power of our forbidden skills! With this power..."
"You disgust me! Go back to school you blinded little prick!" said the Dragon Knight
"Do not speak to me like that!"
"Make me"
"As you wish, but it will be a wish you will regret FOREVER! DRAGON ROAR!" Daniel screamed at the top of his lungs and a dark dragon appeared out of nowhere, and in unison they let out a fiery breath that broke at least four walls. Dances with Balrog used his telekinesis to stun Daniel and then grabbed his arms.
"Skill of Ancients! Permanent Seal!"
Daniel screamed as the energy from Dances flowed into his arms. He soon fell to his knees and Dances let go.
"DRAGON ROAR!"
The three elites braced themselves but nothing happened. Daniel tried again
"DRAGON ROAR!"
"It's pointless. I have fully sealed your skills; there is no way you can break out"
"No...NO...YOU BASTARD!" Daniel yelled, but before he could finish, his body began flowing with energy. A being emerged from it, wearing black and purple armour and ice-blue boots.
"Thank you for reviving me. Now die!" yelled the being as it impaled Daniel with an ice spear. "You were a shame to our family honour!"
"Cyrus Indigo...so you have returned. Looks like I will have to banish your soul…again." said Dances in a quiet, annoyed tone.
Kero sat in his bath, relaxed as the bubbles rose above his mouth. He let off some bubbles and heard a shriek. It came from the other bathroom. Mad or Sabrina was waiting outside (or peeking in, for Mad at least) He got out of the bath with a towel around his waist, wondering what the commotion was about.
"This is my bathroom!"
"But I'm the guest here!"
"So?"
"Treat me with respect!"
"I'm a naked girl in a bath and you just walk in! I'm the one needing respect here."
"SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU!" Kero screamed, forgetting that Sabrina is in the bath.
Everyone looked at him with a shocked face until they heard an explosion outside.
Well, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Probably not my best but oh well. I tried... Oh and this is my first fic. I write chapters every 1 to 14 days(note that these are the extremes, not the average)
