TO WHOEVER MADE IT NOT MEEE!!
Note to You:
Since Battle Scenes are my specialty, I'll be adding more of them
in this episode. And then we'll see a climatic clash at the end when
they attempt to steal the Omni Cube.. Oh, and this one will be a
little inacurate to the game in terms of weaponry.. In short, the
Heart enemies will have bladed poles, the Clubs will have
double-edged swords, the Spades will still have their lasers,
and the Diamonds will shoot shuriken-like weapons. Other
than that it's pretty accurate. Oh and I accidently made this
episode a touch longer than I wished.. but oh well.
Time; Year X189
Place; Planet Granite
(Note that the time and place will matter in the future, which is why I
even bother to list them.)
Orion and the others were in an abandoned alley, discussing their
plot. "Here's the deal," Altair said, "We've planned this raid for the last
year, but we didn't expect to have two more helping hands."
"For a price." Orion chimed in. Altair and Artemis sighed and handed
him a bag of money again. "Ahh, glad to see we still speak the same
language..."
"As I was sayin," Altair continued, "Regulus, you'll fly up and make note
of where the guards are so we can hopefully sneak in. After that, come
down and tell us. Then we'll set up a movement plan. We'll sneak in as
best as we can and steal the Omni Cube before they know what hit'em!
And if emperor Sirius finds out, then we'll fight the best we can. Any
questions?"
They all shook their heads.
"Good. Let's go. Ready, Regulus?" Altair asked, sliding his helmet back on.
The android nodded and looked up, activating his jet pack and taking off
into the clouds.. In case you haven't guessed, this will be very hard to do
because no technology can see this palace with radar or anything except
basic sight. "Where to start.." Suddenly, he saw a cloaked figure ahead
of him, moving north by northeast. "There we go.." Regulus said silently,
loosely trailing the figure.
Then, off in the distance, he saw the palace...
Regulus sunk a bit lower as he flew towards it, using the clouds as a
cloaking as he drew near. The android popped out on occasion to see where
he was; After all, one dumb mistake could lead to your demise on a job
such as this one.
"Who the heck are you?" Orion asked the shadowy black robot below.
While waiting for Regulus to come back, a pitch black robot with wings
had walked up to them and offered his assistance. The black cyborg took
a bow. "You can call me Atlas." he said. "And lets just say I have a bone
to pick with a certain someone in the palace."
"Good, we need all the help we can get." Artemis said. "We'll get to
know him better later."
"Well, when are we going?" Atlas asked impatiently.
"Atlas," explained Orion, "we're waiting for an associate of ours to
return. Untill then, have patience. We'll strike soon enough."
Regulus circled around the palace once more, taking mental note
of the guard's movement patterns, how many, etc. There were fewer
guards then there should be.. After looping around the castle several
times and looking in all the windows of the throne room, he began
flying back down at high speeds. He passed below the clouds, and
then into the abandoned alley, slowly landing in front of the four down
below. He immediatly glared at the black robot, his red eyes shining
through his navy blue visor. "Who's this?"
"This is Atlas." Altair said. "Atlas, Regulus. Regulus, Atlas. Good now
we're all introduced to eachother let's go." he said quickly, hopping on
Vega as it flew by. Artemis took flight and chased after him. Regulus
picked up Orion and flew after them, and the black robot flew ahead
of the four. "I'll lead you to the palace!" he shouted back at the four.
And so he did. The mysterious shadow robot led them straight
through patches of thick clouds and fog directly towards the castle.
"How'd he do that?" Regulus asked, confused, as they stopped
close to the castle. "What do you mean?" Artemis asked. No one
else seemed to hear the two.
"I mean it took me ages to find this stupid place." Regulus said.
Suddenly, the shadow bot flew in and wiped out all the guards.
The rest of the group slowly hovered in, confused. "I'll stand guard."
Atlas said, standing near the entrace to the palace. "You four
go in." The others didn't ask questions; They all flew across the gap
and into the palace.
As soon as they entered, however, the door slammed shut and the
lights went out, leaving them in a darkness so thick you could almost
feel it.. Then, a gigantic white mask appeared in front of them..
(sound familiar, Bomberman 64 experts? This guy's always been the
guard of this palace..)
The mask slowly spun around, getting smaller, untill it stopped, and
the image of a jester appeared.. "Welcome." cackled the jester. "All
that have come here, though they've tried, have fought against me, and
very soon died." The jester cackled once more as he clapped his hands
and a flash of blinding light lit the room with magic. The jester shuffled
a deck of playing cards and cackled some more. "Let's play." he said,
tossing a card at the group. "We have to fight this clown?" Altair said,
highly ticked off. The card enlarged to show a picture, then the jester
began hurling cards at the groupd.. The first one exploded, sending them
sprawling in seperate directions, and the next few were on their way..
"I can't believe they fell for it." Atlas said, slowly hovering into the topmost
part of the palace outside...
Altiar dodged the last of the cards as the jester hurled another large
card at the group. Vega fired a laser at the jester - It tore through his
cape, doing nothing to the creature to harm him as he jumped away from
the bombs being hurled at him, cackling like a madman as the card enlarged,
revealing a giant snake picture. The jester disappeared into his own
shadow as six black and six white masks spun around in a wide circle.
Suddenly, a raging fire errupted in the middle of the masks as countless
fireballs singed the masks. And then, from the flames errupted a gigantic
snake of fire that began chasing Regulus. The robot dashed away from it,
slamming his fist into the jester as he passed, doing no damage as the snake
drew closer to him. Artemis began shooting fireballs like mad at the jester.
She got a lucky shot. One fireball scorched the mask, another burnt the cape,
and the final one hit his shadow.. The shadow stood up like a living creature and
yelled in agony before going back down no a normal shadow.
The jester glared at the group angrily, dodging Orion's energy barrier.
"You little whelps.." he said coldly. "How dare you! You ruined my cape!!"
Suddenly, the room around them darkened, along with the floor,
making it appear as if they were in space.. "What the heck is this??"
Artemis said. The basic look of the room was very disturbing, and it
was very easy to get distorted. "Stop with the spells and fight us like a
man!!" yelled Orion. The jester laughed. "No way.. I'm having WAY too much
fun torturing you!!"
Regulus turned and flashed gold, slamming into the fire snake. He
went through it instead, however, and his armor began overheating
fast as he ran away from the snake, steam emitting from his joints.
The jester cackled insanely as his shadow hid in the blackness of
the room. Shooting stars began pouring down like rain, knocking
Altair to the ground as Vega shot most of the stars. While all this
was going on, however, a giant mask appeared, spitting out
a bunch of skulls and other powerups. "Here, take some!" he
cackled madly as the skulls drifted into the various people. The
snake smoked and faded as another ring of masks appeared;
Altair and the others flashed yellow as the skulls touched them
and each became infected with a different poison. Orion suddenly
stopped. "Wh-Why can't I move...!?" he yelled as the ring of masks
surrounded him. As the giant mask faded, fists began pounding the
ground around the ground in an attempt to crush them as the stars
rained down mercilessly. Altair stood up and tried to take a bomb
out but somehow he couldn't! "What the heck's going on here!?"
he yelled angrily. Orion tossed a bomb, but it exploded before it could
go anywhere, nearly burning him. Regulus stopped trying to move as a giant
foot appeared above him, but then his body flew forwards as fast as
it could and slammed into the wall as the giant foot crushed the ground where
he once stood. Artemis was about to attack when she suddenly shrunk down
to half a foot's height! She dashed around a lot faster, but was a lot
weaker now.. "What the heck did he do to us!?" she yelled in a tiny
high-pitched voice. The stars kept raining down, one of them bashing
into Artemis and sending her flying backwards as Vega suddenly grew four
times as big from a poisoning he had. The stars that hit him merely
scratched his paint job as it fired a gigantic laser at the jester.
The spell maker's shadow yelled in agony as the spells stopped abruptly.
Then, suddenly, the jester began cackling madly. The room reverted
back to normal.
The poisons wore off; Artemis grew back to her normal, curvy self,
Altair's bomb generator began working right again, Regulus' movement
speeds reverted back to normal, Vega shrunk down to normal size,
and Orion's bombs stopped blowing up so fast. Everyone stood in
the center of the room, awaiting attack. The jester looked at them,
smiling psychotically. His shadow began fluctuating up and down
as his sickening cackle filled the room, and in one last echoing
cackle he disappeared, all except his mask, which fell to the floor
where his shadow once was.
Everyone stared at the smoking mask, the psychotic cackle
ringing in their minds as it faded. "That.. was weird.." Artemis
commented. There was a bright light and they were all
teleported to the upper floor.
They walked through the huge doors that lead into the main room
of the second floor. A deafening silence filled the air.. "Smells like a
trap to me." Orion said coldly, leading the group into the room. They passed
by several thick columns (I could care less if I spelled that right)
and when they were halfway across the bizarre corridor, they heard
marching...
Suddenly, there was a cry of "GET THEM!!" as atleast thirty card like
warriors of each type flooded into the room..
"Piece of cake." Altair said cockily as the groupd took stance. The
clubs began spinning their blades around as the spades aimed at the
group. Then all spades opened fire and the armies charged; Artemis
immediately hovered into the hair, tossing fireballs downward at the
enemies as Altair jumped on Vega and flew upward, turning down to
rain laserfire on what cards he could. Regulus charged up his systems
and began brutally assaulting all the enemies in the room as Orion used
his stunning shield to keep the foes down as best as he could. Several
Clubs beat on his shield as a few Hearts began tossing shurikens at the
flying warriors. Artemis hovered backwards, dodging a few of the
blades and hurling fireballs at the source, as Vega flew out of the way of
another group of Shurikens.
Regulus literally ripped through another cardlike knight, tearing it apart
as its remaints faded before a group of clubs overwhelmed him with
the flats of their blades. A good 10% of the army was wiped out as Vega
dealt a finishing strike to an entire row of them, while Orion let loose
another barrier, knocking back the foes. Artemis tossed a fireball past
Altair, burning the Spade behind him before she was slammed back a
ways by another Spade's laser. Several shurikens riccochet off Altair's
helmet, knocking him off balance. He fell into the battle, being forced
to fight the old-fashioned way as he began hurling bombs at foes.
There was a flash of light while the others were fighting, and Altiar and
Vega seemed to have vanished. Regulus slammed the head off yet
another group of Diamons and Hearts, and then a shower of green blades
rained down upon the cards, wiping out a good 45% of what remained.
There were only about five from each set now as Altair appeared, united
with Vega once more, hovering in the air. "Get out!!" Altiar yelled as he heard
more marching outside. Everyone continued fighting. "What, you think I'm going
to miss out on this, Altie?" Artemis asked playfully, tossing another few
fireballs at the defenseless diamonds. "I said get out!!" yelled Altair and Vega
simultaneously as spades and clubs began flooding in through the two
doorways. Regulus had already tripped the four switches that opened
the teleporter, and helped Orion in dragging Artemis to it. Orion and
Artemis disappeared in a flash of green as Regulus flew up to
meet Altair, back to back.
"Forgive me, sir." said the robot, "but there is no way you can possibly
take them out by yourself.."
Altair nodded. "As long as Artemis is out of here.." he said as the
room was filled with laserfire..
Orion and Artemis appeared in a small room where the Omni Cube was
held.. "There it is!" she yelled as the two ran up to the Cube. Altair and
Regulus appeared behind them, their armors scorched slightly. What, did
you honestly think those cards stood a chance? Pfft, yeah right.
Altair slowly walked up to the gently pulsating cube. It hovered about
two feet off the ground, spinning around slowly. He slowly reached down,
about to touch it, when something black as a shadow slammed into him.
He was knocked back into the wall as Atlas took stace. The black slowly
faded away, revealing his true identity to be..
"Sirius!!" they all yelled in shock. The emperor scowled under his mask.
"You fools..." he said coldly. "You little imbeciles.. Do you know how much
you have made me lose in this little game of yours? 60% of my knights are
dead now, and we have to reincarnate our Spellmaker all over again because
of your insolence!!" Sirius jumped back as two panels opened up and he
shot a gigantic beam of energy at Altair, slamming the knight through the
wall. The black-clad warrior plummeted away from the small chamber,
bouncing off the roof of the main palace and finally landing on the front
garden, bashing against a wall and falling on his face. By now, however,
everyone had gotten ready to strike. Altair jumped into the air and
hurled several fireballs at Sirius, as Orion hurled several bombs
at the white knight, and Regulus charged at him as fast as he could.
Sirius kicked the bombs in random directions and jumped away from
the fireballs before getting slammed through the wall behind him by
Sirius, feeling the impact of 3 tons. Regulus stopped for a moment
as steam began emitting from his joints and Sirius plummeted
out of the palace.
Orion walked up to the edge of the hole and looked down. There
was no trace of Sirius. Suddenly, Artemis screamed "LOOK OUT!!", but
it was too late. Orion yelled in agony as a gigantic beam of energy
tore at him, slamming him out of the palace with an impact far
worse than that Regulus had done. Regulus jumped aside just in time
as Orion was slammed out of the castle. The android dashed out of
the castle as Artemis stood up to attack Sirius. Sirius laughed and
flew above her, kicking her to the ground before he began charging
up a laser blast to wipe her out... Suddenly, hundreds of small green
blades shot into him in a swarm as Altair flew into the room.
Sirius growled and kicked Altair in the gut, before twirling around
and smashing his heel into Altair's face, knocking the teenager to the
ground. Then he turned to attack Artemis, dodging another barrage
of fireballs.. The panels in his wings opened up as he began charging
a beam.. And then suddenly, something slammed into him with the
force of five tons, sending him flying out of his own palace and into
the wild blue yonder. Regulus stopped cold, emitting a smokescreen
of steam from his joints as his nearly-overheated systems cooled.
Orion laughed as he climbed the rest of the way up; Regulus had
flewn out to save him, but dropped him to attack Sirius a bit too
early and he had to hang on to the palace for dear life.
Altair picked up the Omni Cube. It instantly shrunk down to fit
in his pocket as the group flew out of the damaged palace...
