Emblem Wars: A New Game
In case you don't understand, a morph=droid.
Chapter 1: The Truth is Scary
Space... not exactly much to look at. I mean, its just... I don't know... a big empty void with lots of bright shiny thingies called stars. Okay, time to stop babbling and get on track here.
A lone Pegasus cruiser flees from a massive Wyvern Destroyer. Both ships begin exchanging Ballista fire, lighting up the surrounding space with brilliant flashes of green and red. But eventually, one lucky Ballista bolt finds its mark and hits the Pegasus cruiser in a crucial spot, crippling the craft and leaving it at the mercy of the massive Wyvern Destroyer.
The explosion rocked the entire ship, forcing Kent to stumble forward, which resulted him in tripping over his fellow morph Nils.
"Nils! Watch where you're going! Standing the middle of the hallway is a fire hazard!"
The smaller morph quickly scrambled to his feet.
"What the heck are you talking about? Maybe you should try watching where you step, you big clumsy oaf!"
Nils was quickly rewarded with a smack to the head.
"That's insubordination!"
Another explosion rocked the ship, knocking both morphs around again.
"Aaaaah!"
Both morphs scrambled to their feet again, only get knocked aside by a troop of Lycian guards rushing toward the ships entrance.
Kent got up again rubbing his head.
"This is just NOT my day."
"You're telling me! I don't bruise very well you know!"
"Quiet, Nils! I didn't ask you! Now lets get off this ship before we're blown to bits! Or worse! Sold as scrap!"
"Oka-"
Suddenly, Nils looked as if he had suddenly remembered something.
"Wait! I gotta go do something first!"
Without saying another word of explanation, the smaller morph quickly ran off deeper in the ship.
"Nils! Wait! Gah! I can't stand that kid!"
Meanwhile, the guards were having problems of their own. As they tried to protect the entrance, dozens of Black Fang knights and soldiers poured through the doorway. Actually, it wasn't really much of a fight. I mean, have you EVER seen a bunch of anonymous good guys WIN a fight in the beginning of the story?
"Oh my god! We all gonna die!!!"
"No! It's not supposed to bend that way!"
"Mommy!"
"Make it stop!! The stabbing hurts!!! MAKE IT STOP!!"
"I could've been a lawyer, or a doctor, but NOOOO, I had to run away and join the Lycians..."
Sadly enough, battle actually didn't take that long. Shortly after the last guard was downed, a dark, ominous figure stepped through the doorway. He stood over the fallen guards and began laughing.
"Bwahaha! You guys just got owned!""Bad team."
"Crappy map."
"Lag."
A soldier quickly ran up to the dark figure.
"Uhh, Dark Lord Ephidel! We have reasons to believe the plans for the weapon are on this ship!"
The Dark Lord Ephidel sighed, but it was kind of hard to tell since he was breathing so hard.
"Wow, what an interesting insight! You should write that down under 'SHIT I already know that!!!'"
"Uhh, sorry my Lord! We also believe the captain knows the whereabouts of the plans!"
"Thank you for pointing out the BRUTALLY obvious."
Meanwhile, in another part of the ship, Kent was hopelessly lost in the cruisers maintenance passages.
"Nils! Nils! Where the heck are you! I want to kill you!"
Kent then rounded a corner and caught sight of Nils.
"Nils! When I get my hands you-"
He abruptly stopped when he noticed that there was someone else with Nils. She was a very pretty girl, with short red hair. The girl knelt down, whispered something into Nils' ear, and handed him a small package. She then kissed the morph on the forehead and ran off. Once she was gone, Kent ran up to check on Nils.
"Nils! What the heck were you doing?"
Unfortunately, Nils was in a trance. Probably as a result of getting kissed by a very pretty girl. Kent quickly solved that with a quick slap to the face.
"SNAP OUT OF IT, NILS! YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO FRATRENIZE WITH THE PASSENGERS!"
"Ow! You didn't have to hit me so hard!"
"Actually, yes I do! Now hurry up! We have to find an escape pod!"
"Waaaay ahead of you."
Nils gave Kent a hardy shove, and the morph fell backwards into an escape chute in the wall.
"Argh!"
Nils smiled and quickly jumped in. Once secured, he slammed the EJECT button, and was satisfied to hear a hearty whump as Kent's face slammed into the window from the force of the pod's ejection.
"Nils! You didn't even wait for me the buckle in! That's extremely unsafe you know!"
Nils rolled his eyes and sighed. This was going to be a loooong trip.
Back on the ship, Ephidel was busy interrogating the captain of the cruiser, though things weren't going so well. Either the captain was a very good liar, or didn't know where the plans were. Either way, the Dark Lord was getting more pissed off.
"I WANT THE TRUTH!"
"YOU CAN'T HANDLE TRUTH!"
"YES I CAN!"
"Okay then. Vaida really DOES have supports with another character!"
"NO! You've gotta be sh-tting me!!"
"Nope, I'm serious."
"Oh man... so many really nasty thoughts going through my head!! ARGH!!"
Ephidel quickly got out a bottle of aspirins and swallowed the entire bottle.
"Won't taking that many aspirins so quickly, like, kill you or something?"
"Hey, they don't call me the Dark Lord for skipping around in a magic jellybean field and throwing flowers all over the place."
"Now THAT makes a nasty image."
"SILENCE! Now tell where the plans are! If you don't, I'll kill you!"
"And what happens if I do?"
"Then I'll kill you! Wait... I mean... aw man, screw it."
Ephidel quickly waved his arms and cast an Elfire spell on the captain, immediately, well, almost immediately incinerating him.
"AAAGGGHHH! IT BURNS!!! IT BURNS WITH THE PAIN OF A THOUSAND SUNS!!!"
"You're damn right it does! Took me a long time to get that trick down right!"
Ephidel turned around to face his troops.
"Now search every nook and cranny of this ship! I don't care if you have to tear it apart! FIND THOSE PLANS!"
All of the soldiers nodded and marched off, except for one. Ephidel immediately recognized the soldier.
"Ugh, what do you want this time?"
"Uhh, I was just wondering, what if the captain had the plan in his pockets or something? I mean, you didn't even bother to check him, and then you burned him that-"
Ephidel waves his arms again, and the soldier burst into the flames.
"AAAHHHHH! AAAHHHH! AAAAAHHHH!"
Ephidel smiled at his work and walked away.
