A New Evil
Part 5: New Hope
By: Scizor
The searchers were walking along a massive plain.
"Where's this village at", asked Hare?
"Shouldn't be much farther", said Alexander.
Soon they stood at a massive gate surrounded by tall wooden walls.
"Who go's there", a voice yelled from the top of the wall?
"Alexander", Alexander replied.
"Alexander, that really you", the voice called down?
"Yeah, it's me, and I got friends, open up", Alexander said.
"Sorry, open up guys", the voice said.
The massive gate creaked open and Alexander walked in followed by the searchers.
"Welcome to New Hope", Alexander said, gesturing towards the massive city.
It was massive, with stores, homes, taverns, restaurants, inns, and even a massive mansion.
"Well, lets first go greet the governor and THEN we get some food", Alexander said.
They soon arrived at the huge mansion.
This is the governor's mansion, so show respect, Alexander said. "Him and me know each other from way back, so there shouldn't be any problems. Oh, and prepare for A shock".
He didn't elaborate anymore, just led them inside. Inside they found large groups of monsters around a large desk. Behind it was a Gali.
"Ah, Alexander", the Gali said. "So these are your friends? I didn't know you knew the searchers".
"You meet all sorts of people on the road Gali", Alexander said. "But seriously, you not going to cause any trouble because they handed your butt to you on a silver platter back then are you"?
"Wait a minute, Gali, as in Big Bad Four member Gali", said EvilHareGirl?
"Former member", Gali corrected.
"Like me", a voice said from near the door.
"And me", a growling voice said.
The searchers turned and saw two figures from the past standing there.
"Granity", said Genki in shock.
"Grey Wolf", Tiger said at the same time in equal shock.
"Hey kid", Granity said.
"Long time brother", said Grey Wolf.
"Okay, what's going on", yelled EHG? "Why are the Big Bad Four here"?
Alexander sighed.
"Don't suppose you got some chairs Gali", asked Alexander?
"Oh, sorry", Gali apologizes.
Looks at A couple Black Saurians standing nearby.
"WELL, GET THEM SOME CHAIRS", Gali roars at the Black Saurians.
Black Saurians run of and come back A few seconds later with some chairs.
Alexander grabs one and sits down. The others also grab seats.
"Well, where to start", said Alexander? "Well, New Hope was begun as a safe heaven for former baddies due to the prejudice they faced from others. Former baddies flocked here and appointed Gali as the governor. Grey Wolf showed up later and became head of the town guard. After him Granity came and became Gali's assistant. The place became known as a heaven for anyone that felt that others were wrongly treating them. It's still predominantly monster, but Grey Wolf and the town guard keep violence to a minimum. In New Hope you can be guaranteed equality with everyone".
"So everyone here is treated equal", asked Holly?
"Well, I doubt that everyone here is not prejudice, but we have laws here, laws enforced by the guard and myself, that make sure no one is discriminated because of there religion, race, breed, or most anything else", said Grey Wolf. "And were proud of it".
"Many strive to protect what you have on our world", said EvilHareGirl.
"It's a cause worth fighting for", said Gali.
Alexander got up.
"It's getting late", said Alexander.
"Yes, it is", said Gali. "My how time flies".
"Seeya Gali, Granity, Grey Wolf", said Alexander.
Everyone said their goodbyes and left.
"Now we eat", asked Genki?
"Yes, now we eat", said Alexander.
He led the group down a long street to a large house on a massive field at the edge of the city. When they started to cross the field they heard barking.
"Oh no", said Alexander.
Suddenly he was tackled by A Hare Hound puppy, which started barking happily.
"Get off me Hype", said Alexander.
"Get off him Hype", yelled A young girl with light brown hair and wearing A outfit not unlike holly's that was running across the field.
Hype jumped of Alexander and whined.
"Oh, don't give me that", said the girl.
The girl turned to Alexander.
"Hello Uncle Alexander", the girl said happily.
"Hi Colt", Alexander said. "I see Hype's just as happy as ever".
Colt laughed happily.
"Yep", she said.
A Mint (Pixie/Tiger) flew up from the direction of the house.
"Master Alexander, it's good to see you're finally home", said the Mint. "Oh, and you have guest, how lovely".
"Hello Mint, I see you've taken good care of Colt", said Alexander.
Hype barked.
"AND Hype", said Alexander.
"Well, were just glad your home", said Mint.
Alexander picked up Colt, who laughed happily.
"Well, I'm back, at least for A while", Alexander said. "I don't suppose we could spare some rooms for my friends", he said, pointing at the others.
"Oh, I'm sure we could find A place for them to sleep", Mint said.
Alexander led the group back up towards the house, with Hype right behind barking happily.
(**)
Well, that was unexpected. The searchers arrive at a city almost completely populated by former baddies and run across Gali, Grey Wolf, and Granity. And what about Colt and Mint? Who are they and how do they know Alexander? Find out in the next chapter. Oh, and I know Colt is the character from MR2, but I thought that this would be A good way to find out more about her and her past. Colt is the 5 years younger then in MR2 and I may or may not make her a permanent character. We'll see. Please Read and Review. I'll accept any plot ideas.
