Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to the Prince of Persia series. I do however own the games, all of which are out now. However, before it came out, I had a grand scheme for my fanfic planned out. I will however use puzzle and monster ideas from the game. No spoilers though, and if there ever is, I shall inform you.
The Prince woke up next to a hole inside a grand hall with a thrown at the end of it. The thrown was on a platform to far up to reach by normal means though. The prince would have to find other means of getting up there. The prince noticed a lot of columns in the room though, and so starting climbing up the closest one. The column cut off about twenty feet high, so the Prince jumped to one that was only connected to the ceiling, but was conveniently hanging low enough for the Prince to jump to, and so he jumped to it.
He then jumped toward the wall, which had a lever in it. He put his sword right above the lever, and tried his best to stay there, though it took a lot of upper body strength. The lever came down, and the thrown moved backwards from its original position, revealing a spiral passageway, but the lever also brang up traps right before the thrown, and so the Prince ran across the wall from the lever, and onto the large platform that the thrown and traps was on.
The first trap was a pit with a number of different lengthened poles coming out of the walls in it. The Prince jumped to the closest one and moved a lot to the left and swung to the next one. He climbed on top of this one, and climbed up the next and the one after that. After that, he swung to ground again. He then walked to the thrown, which was rightfully his back in the past. Now it was partly demolished, and uncared for. It was obvious that Persia's new ruler had made himself a new thrown.
The Prince made his way into the tunnel, which was only dimly lit by torches. He went lower and lower and deeper and deeper into the city. He eventually reached a somewhat big room with treasures in it. This was Persia's treasure room, which had the dagger of time it, just as the Prince had hoped. After all, when he destroyed the sands of time, it meant that he had never gotten the dagger of time. Before finding it here though, the Prince could only hope that his father had found it before the Vizier.
The Prince took the dagger out of its place, and the ground started rumbling, and broke. The Prince fell a while, and landed softly on top of a bag of sand. That's…pretty convenient, he thought to himself. The Prince looked and he realized he was in a sewer. The only light was the sun reflecting on the water from wherever an opening was. Suddenly, a sand monster like voice started talking I think that was what the Dark Prince was trying to stop you from getting, it said.
This sand creature was obviously smarter than others. First of all, it didn't attack, since it probably knew it would meet its death, and second, it could make conclusions about what the Prince had gone through so far. Therefore, the Prince maintained a calm voice when he talked back to show that the presence of a smart sand creature meant nothing to him "The dark prince said he was trying to stop me from getting information, not an item. Now how have you been following me for so long without me noticing?" the Prince asked.
Oh no reason at all. Just the fact that I'm YOU it said. It was then that the Prince realized that the voice was coming more from his head than from anywhere else. He choose to ignore it, and continue walking on. He started ascending slowly, seeing more and more light. Then the Prince noticed an odd thing. There was no longer any water in the sewer. It must be the doing of the cloaked man, the Prince thought. It was then that the Prince's arm started tingling. What's happening? Why is my arm tingling and beginning to hurt? he thought grabbing his arm tightly. Then a black cloud started consuming him. It seemed that the black cloud was coming from him, and without warning, consumed him. When the cloud cleared, the dark Prince was there.
"Ahh. It's good to be out" the dark Prince said It was then that a new lizard-like and yet human looking sand creature came from the ground. The dark prince swung his chain whip around, having to hit each sand creature about ten times before it died. The dark prince backed up a little, not wanting to be overwhelmed. The light shown on him from above a while as he backed up, and when the sand creatures reached the light, they stopped in their tracks to cover their eyes.
It was then that the dark prince was feeling weakened. He attacked the sand creatures again, this time killing them in two hits or less. When the sand went into his body, he felt himself getting strong again. It was like the wraith prince all over again, except the dark prince was just that: everything dark about the prince was what made this new form. It killed the rest of the sand creatures without mercy, taking pleasure in it even.
When the sand creatures were dead, the dark prince moved forward quickly, conserned about his ever dropping health. He reached a circular room with a room on the other side, but nothing but pit inbetween. The dark prince ran along the wall, noticing a torch and wrapped his chain whip around it. It helped him propel himself to the next torch and the next until he reached the room across the pit, which had water, and the second he touched the water, a sand colored cloud enveloped him, and turned him back into the Prince.
Oh. So water puts you back inside me. I'll have to remember that, the prince thought to himself, knowing the dark prince could hear him. The Prince walked forward again, still ascending. He eventually reached a normal street again, and the first thing he saw was a sand creatures back. This sand creature was a warrior in an army turned into a sand creature, so it was experienced in battle, and even had light armor on. It hadn't noticed the Prince, so the Prince intended to take advantage of that. The Prince took a hold of the creature's face from behind, and slit the creature's throat. The prince walked along the street after that for a while and came across a wall. The Prince ran up it, and jumped across to a wooden beam.
The Prince walked across it to a higher level, and after a little navigating around was in another part of town, where he saw some type of device with a beam of what looked like sand coming out of it back down on the ground. The prince went on another beam and realized the sand creatures, which were right in front of him, hadn't noticed him. He jumped from the beam to the closest one, and plunged his dagger right into the back of its neck. He then jumped from this sand creature's back to another one that had just noticed him and turned around. The prince grabbed its neck, and used it to turn himself around, breaking the sand creature's neck in the process.
Only one creature was left, and fully prepared for the Prince. The only difference with this last sand creature was that it had more armor, and looked more battle experienced. It attacked the Prince, but the prince parried, and counter attacked with a secondary weapon he picked up from one of the dead sand creatures. This hurt the creature, and put the prince on the offencive. The Prince spun his body around slightly, so that his swords would follow the path of his body movements, and do a lot of damage. He cut the creature torso, but it wasn't dead just quite yet. It attacked again, this time with more fore, and this time, the prince was forced to have a sword lock. Luckily, the prince was stronger than the sand creature, and pushed its sword back and chopped off its head.
The Prince then shifted his attention to the devise with the beam of what looked like sand coming out of it. The Prince put his dagger in the hole that the beam was coming out of. He felt something changing as the dagger absorbed the sand. He felt something changing…and the Prince wasn't sure if it was good or bad yet.
