OK, I'm sorry if this is offensive to some people, but I just got pumped full of ideas by Cloaky's songs in the RAFize Songs Thread (Please do visit that thread in the bored board-they're great!) But here we go.
Prolouge
AlmightyQueen, a former RAFian sat in one of the low parts of the internet, silently fuming. Nearby were her two friends (though more like servents) and fellow banned RAFians, AlothAssasin--Known as VenomSymbiote to some--and YorickBrown. Their wonderful "lair" was a cave far away from RAF. Not many honest Internet people went there, it was mostly occupied by the banned of many websites.
Queen's eyes burned. "You've tried, and tried again, Aloth," she snarled. "But every time, you've failed. How many times have you tried to get back on RAF? How many?! Who knows now! But every time you get caught by Richard, or one of his goons, the Staff Members!" She spat out the last two words like they were a curse.
Aloth cringed. "I'm sorry, Queen, I've tried to get it right, but Richard..." His voice trailed off as Queen stood up and glared furiously again. "I didn't ask for excuses, you whining lump," she growled. "I want success."
Yorick glanced up. "Hey, why don't we just give it a rest? I mean, there are plenty of other websites to go to. Why do we have to stay in this dump?"
"Because," said Queen softly. "If we go on other websites, we'll never be respected. We'll always be known as the banned people. And," she continued, her voice getting harder and louder. "I want Richard. I want him to be sorry for what he's done to me. I want him to scream as he realizes that Queen is back, and I want him to die in despair, regretting that he had ever banned AlmightyQueen. Also, I think little Aloth wants some staff members...?"
"Yes!" Cried Aloth, leaping to his feet. "Phoenix004! He was the one who banned me when I came back as Aurora! I hold a grudge on him that I'll never forget!"
Queen nodded her approval of his rage and hatred. "What about you, Yorick? Surely you have someone who you want to get back at?" She eyed him suspicously as he remained sitting and shrugged.
"Not really," said Yorick. "I did something wrong and I was punished. I don't really want to get back at anybody for something I did--" He broke off as Queen flew into a rage.
"Don't want to get back at anybody?! What?! How could you?!" She screamed. "You've been banned! Exiled! Never to see RAF again! Don't you want to destroy the one who put you in this stinking cave?! Hear their screams as they die beneath your mighty feet?! You don't even want any of that?! How dare one of my servants say such a thing!"
Yorick winced. "Queen...we've been banned. We could go back and not say anything wrong. We don't have to be evil. But, you're right," he said. An angry glint coming into his eyes. "Russell. I don't think he was the one who banned me, but still. He has been promoted to an Admin, I hear. And I think he's to high and mighty for his own good. But, he will regret the day that he ever heard of YorickBrown. And, there's a member. Morfout. Oh, I hated Morfout, and still do."
Queen nodded. "Good." She growled. "Because I've got a plan. A plan to eliminate every single RAFian. But first, I need answers. Yorick. You're our spy. You sneak in and see who is there, from the sidelines. Has CloakedFigure returned?"
"Yes," said Yorick. "He is back. And, he is still very powerful. He'll be a problem, that one."
"I'll get him," predicted Queen. "Now, does he have any good friends on RAF?"
Yorick looked puzzled. "Well, yes. Several. He has befriended Faerie Larka, Horsefan1023, demos666, and Blocky97."
"Horsefan," murmered Queen. "Is she that pesky little seal?"
"Yes, said Yorick.
"I hate Seals," she said, beginning to pace. "They're to furry and cute. They remind me of what I used to be, not that my beauty has dissapeared."
"Of course your beauty hasn't dissapeared," said Aloth hurriedly.
"Enough of this," snapped Queen. "Back to my plan. First, we need CloakedFigure and that star, Estelore, out of the way. Apart from the staff, they're the most dangerous. When they dissapear, people will just suspect an internet crash. Then we go after the mods. Without their precious staff members to protect them, the RAFians don't stand a chance.
"Others are powerful other than Cloaky and Este," warned Yorick.
"I know," said Queen, her voice soft again. "I know. But still, they'll be easier to catch. RAF, oh, you think you've seen the last of me. Oh no. You definetily haven't seen the last of AlmightyQueen."
-
Excellent, Horse.
I just knew it was a matter of time before you wrote this. ;) ;D
-
Thanks, Cloak!
I would write more, but it's too late for that.
NOTE: ANYTHING THE BANNED PEOPLE SAY ABOUT OUR STAFF MEMBERS IS NOT TRUE!!!! I DO NOT THINK ANY OF THIS, AND IT'S JUST THEM BEING ANGRY.
Not sure if anyone believes that I would think that, but just wanted to make sure. :)
-
I know I didn't.
-
Well, I typed up another chapter. I found the time! Enjoy, my friends! :)
Chapter One
Horsefan1023 blinked awake. Sunlight was streaming through the window in her profile thread, or her room. She shook her head soundly. Another beautiful day on RAF, she thought. Then again, when is it not beautiful? The sky reflects our moods. Horse hopped down from her bed. She wondered who was up yet. Some of the RAFians slept alot.
Seal shuffled out of the Profile Board. It was a busy day on RAF, many members roaming about, going to various threads, chatting, or just sitting about and reading Animorphs. She noticed CloakedFigure opening the door to the Bored Board. She increased her pace and called out to him.
"Hey Cloaky," She called. "Off to make another parody?"
"Yup." He responded. "Got one for Faerie. 'I'll be mellow when I'm dead.'"
"Good grief," said Horsie. "That sentance just described her perfectly."
Cloak nodded and said good-bye to the seal, entering the Bored Board. Horse yawned and glanced around. Someone yelled out, "Este's coming!" In unison, everyone on the forum reached into hammerspace, grabbed sunglasses, and put them on. A few seconds later, a star appeared.
"Prepared as usual, I see." Said Estelore, looking around. Anna winced.
"Este, you remember last time I didn't get my sunglasses on in time."
"Owch. Yeah, three weeks in the RAFhospital. Sorry."
"Not your fault."
Horse listened to the banter with half of her mind. A strange feeling of foreboding prickled the fur on her spine, and she felt as if great danger was coming. She looked around quickly, but nothing was going on. Everyone looked perfectly normal. Horse jumped into a puddle of water and teleported up to the RAFborders, where Russell was keeping watch for Spammers and AlothAssasin. Aloth had been causing trouble, having been back on many times, and gotten banned many times. Now, every day, the mods kept a lookout for Spammers or the banned people.
Horsie walked quickly up to the Andalite-Controller. "Hey Esplin." She said. "Everything quiet?"
<Yup.> He said, turning his stalk eyes to her while his main eyes scanned the green fields of the Internet. <Why? Is something up?>
"No..." said Horse, turning away. "Just...well, nothing." She quickly teleported away again before Esplin could ask any questions. As she vanished, Esplin turned his whole head and directed all four eyes at her, but before he could ask she was gone.
Horse seemed jumpy, he thought to himself. Why?
The seal barreled blindly down the halls of the Bored Board in search of Cloaky. He was a Realm Walker. If anyone could figure out what was bothering her, or share her feelings about something dangerous, it was Cloaky. But, as she rushed blindly along, she bumped into something. She shook her head and looked up, finding herself face to face with a Tyclaireacorn.
"Oof! Seal, watch where you're going!" Said the Tyclairacorn in question, who was really Jess. She looked down closely at her little RAFsis. "Seal? You look worried. Whats wrong?"
Seal shook her head again. "I don't know. I just felt...well, like something bad is going to happen. I don't know. Probably just my imagination."
Jess frowned. "Something wrong? Like what?"
"I don't know," said Seal, shrugging. "It just felt...well...bad." she finished lamely, then hurried on. "I was looking for Cloaky. I was hoping that he might be able to help."
Jess nodded over to another door, labeled "RAFize songs" on the front. "He's in there," said Jess. "Just finishing another parody. I've gotta go check on the Audiobook project. See ya later, Horse." And with that, Jess left.
Horse opened the door and quickly walked over to Cloaky, where he was posting another parody on a giant cork board. He turned to look at her. "Seal!" He said, then frowned, (Or so Horse assumed he frowned, as he had his hood up. Like almost always.) noting her worried expression. "What's wrong? Nobody else has gone to the RAFhospital for looking at Este without sunglasses on, have they?"
"No," said Horse. "But, just when Este arrived, I had this...well...feeli ng. Like...like something really bad was about to happen. But then I went and talked to Russell, but he said everything was fine. Have you felt anything?"
"Hmmm." Cloaky said. "I did feel a little...well, for lack of a better phrase, disturbence in the force. But I assumed nothing. I mean, Realm Walkers are sensitive to many universes. The disturbence might have been far far away from here. But, if you felt something too, I mean, no offense, but I'm much more in tune with universes than you are, but if you felt it too, it must be from nearby."
Horse nodded. "I agree. Maybe we should ask Este if she's seen anything anywhere else. I mean, she travels a lot."
"Yes," agreed Cloaky. "Now, let me finish posting this parody, and then we can go look for Este."
It did not take long for CloakedFigure and Horsefan to find Estelore. She sorta stood out.
"Este!" Called out Cloaky. "We have a question for you!"
"Shoot," said Este, coming closer.
Horse explained about her and Cloaky's feeling of danger. "We were wondering if you saw anything in any other universe that might explain it."
"Hmmm," said Este. "I didn't see anything. But it must be local. Otherwise we wouldn't be so certain that something amiss. And look at the sky. Clouds. That's not good." Horse and Cloaky looked up. Sure enough, clouds were rolling across the sky. Not lots, but enough to make it unusual.
"That does it," exclaimed Horse. "Something bad is happening. I'm sure of it."
Cloaky nodded. "I agree. We need to tell Richard. Warn the mods. Este, can you tell Russ? I'll see if I can find Richard. He's usually around here somewhere."
The two left, leaving Horse to herself, alone with her thoughts.
Something terrible is coming. Oh, God, what is it?
-
Again, excellent.
Now, I'm wondering if I should write something of my own -- explaining what I did during my forced internet exhile -- never mind this, it's off-topic.
-
Nice seal, I've always wanted to write a RAFstyled fanfic. Hope I don't get killed when Aloth, Yorrick, and Queen break into RAF lol
-
I can't wait to hear about Rafians kicking Banned Evil Ass!
-
Thanks, all! :)
I've almost got another chapter done, I might edit this post later and add Chapter Two.
EDIT: Never mind. Here's Chapter Two!
Chapter Two
Blocky97 looked around, then looked up. Some clouds were rolling across the sky. That's strange. Everybody seems cheerful. Indeed, no one looked worried, or sad, or mad and angry. Everyone was just...plain. Cheerful. Happy. Some normal. Nothing bad. So why are there clouds?
Then he noticed Horsie. She was looking at the sky and looking very worried. Why does she look so worried? Blocky wondered. He walked over to her, and called her name. She looked up at him and mumbled indistincly, "Oh...Blocky...hi... nice day...isn't it..." She soon turned her face back up to the sky, however. Blocky frowned.
"Horse, what's the matter?" He asked. "You look like you've just been banned! You haven't, have you?"
"What? Oh...no, I haven't been banned. Just...no. I'm fine. Really." said Seal, not looking at all that she was fine. Really. Blocky snorted.
"Seal, if I believed that, I believed anything. Somethings biting you. What is it?"
"Well...when Este showed up, I had this, this feeling. A feeling that...well, that something really bad was going to happen. Just, so bad, it prickled the fur on my spine, I swear. So I went up and talked to Esplin 9466. But he said nothing was wrong, and everything looked peaceful out there in the fields. But, the feeling came again, so I went and talked to Cloaky. He had had the same feeling, a lot stronger than me, of course, because he's a Realm Walker, but he had it too. We thought that maybe, since he is much more in tune with the universe than I am, that it must be local if I felt it as well. So we talked to Este, and she said that she hadn't seen anything in other universes to explain it. So, they went to find Russell and Richard."
"Hmmm...that's strange. Have you had any feelings since?" Said Blocky looking thoughtful.
"Well, yes." said Horse. "It's coming in waves, stronger each time, like whatever it is is getting closer. Be on the--what the? Is it raining?"
And sure enough, though the RAFians felt cheerful, gray clouds had sealed themselves over the websites, and rain poured down. Everyone stared up in shock at the sky for a few minutes, then dashed for cover. Horse and Blocky ducked into the Media Board, as it was the closest. Several dripping members were sitting in the main room, looking confused. Blocky heard mutterings and whisperings from the members, "But I felt happy, and so did everyone else!" "Why did it rain?" "Is this a sign of bad luck for RAF?" "What's going on?"
Cloaky was searching desparately for Richard. "Where are you Richard?" He muttered. Then, he slapped himself in the face. "Of course! The Suggestions and Feedback Board! He wasn't anywhere else, so he has to be there. Then he froze as the first drops of rain fell from the sky, drenching his cloak. The rain increased his misgivings, and no one looked mad, just confused before they dashed for cover from the rain. Being a master of all Six Elements, Cloaky just siphoned the water off as soon as he had ducked into the Suggestions and Feedback Board. Sure enough the Father of RAF was sitting just inside.
"Richard!" Called out Cloaky. Richard looked up from the post he was reading. "Oh, hello Cloak. What is it?"
Cloaky rapidly explained about the feelings of dread he and Horse were having, then said "So, we just wanted to warn you. I mean, we don't know what it is, or if its real, but the rain, well, that's more proof. There's someone in the vicinity of RAF that is sending off really bad vibes. I don't know who, or where, but that's for sure."
Richard nodded thoughtfully. "I see what you mean," he said. "I'll tell the mods and everyone to keep a lookout in the Blog. Maybe it's Venom again. I'll tell the mods to check some of the more...agressive new members. Thanks Cloaky." Richard then pulled out an umbrella, and walked out the door to go to the Blog.
Faerie Larka was sitting in her profile thread, bored out of her skull. "I hate rain." She muttered. "Rain makes things boring. Why did it have to rain?" She had a few feelings of dread, but she ignored them. Probably coming from the person who made all this rain come, she thought angrily.
Faerie let out a yelp of surprise as the door banged open to reveal a dripping wet Horsie. The little seal had a panicked look on her face and was panting as if she had ran here instead of teleported. "Good God, Seal!" Yelped Faerie. "What on Earth happened? Why were you out in this? Why did you run here?"
Horse couldn't answer for a few seconds, as she was catching her breath. "Ran...here...becaus e...panicked..." she gasped. "Saw this huge...thing...on a hill. Blocky went out to investigate...and now...now..." Here Horse got a wild look on her face and began to yell. "He's gone! He dissapeared and he's gone, and after a little bit I cautiously went out there and the rain had almost washed it away but IsawdragonbloodIswe arandI'llbetyouanythingitw asBlocky'sandhewasgone!"
Faerie kneeled in front of her. "Calm down, Horse," she said soothingly. "Rest up, and after you've caught you breath and had water if you want, you can tell me the hole story from the beginning, calmly, and slowly."
After a little bit, some water, and some Mozart, Seal calmed down and told Faerie the story over again. "And after I saw the dragon blood, I heard this voice that said, 'Hmmmm. Shall I take two?' So then I teleported a short ways away, then panicked and ran here as fast as I could."
Faerie frowned "Why would someone want to kidnap Blocky? And who?"
"I have no idea." said Horse. "I just got out of there as fast as I could. I didn't think I'd be any use to anybody dead or kidnapped. And I didn't want to be dead or kidnapped."
Faerie nodded. "Good. You stay here and continue to calm yourself. I'll tell Cloaky and Richard. See ya later!" Faerie smiled engouragingly at Horse, then flew off.

Ditto :ditto:

Alright, Alic, you're in this chapter, and Blue, I promise you'll be in the next one. I finished this chap before I read your post.
Chapter Three
Faerie Larka flew about, searching for Cloaky. Horse's news of Blocky's dissapearence was highly disturbing. First rain, now this. Coincidence? She wondered. Her flying was cut short, however. The rain was getting harder, and it beat down on her wings, back and head, making it nearly impossible to fly. "Figures," grumbled Faerie. "Rain ruins everything, I tell you."
Unfortunately for her, the rain pressed on, making her grumpier. Finally, and luckily, she found Cloaky talking with SuperClaire in one of the halls. "Just keep a lookout for anything suspicious, OK?" said Cloaky.
Claire yawned and rubbed her eyes. "I always look for anything suspicious. Now, can you please let me get to bed, Cloaky? We're in different time frames, remember?"
"Oh, sorry. Good-night. Oh, hi Faerie." Said Cloak, turning to Faerie. "What's up? You look worried."
"I am worried." Responded Faerie. "Blocky is missing."
"WHAT?!" shouted Cloaky. "What do you mean?! He never said he was going to take a vacation, did he?"
"No he didn't. Horse said that he saw something on a hill and went to investigate, then--"
"He went to investigate?" interrupted Cloaky. "He didn't find a mod?"
"No," said Faerie impatiently. "Russ went off to check something else, and they didn't know where he was. Horse looked for him briefly, but there was no time. So Blocky looked. She said that he suddenly dissapeared from her view, and it's kind of hard to miss a dragon. So, Horse went to look for him. No, Esplin wasn't back," She added when Cloaky opened his mouth again. "Horse said that it was almost washed away by the rain, but she swore she saw dragon blood. Then she heard a voice that said, 'Hmmmm. Should I take two?' Then, Horse teleported a short way away, panicked, and ran to my profile."
Cloaky frowned. "That's not good. Was Blocky still on the RAFgrounds?"
Faerie frowned as well. I'm not sure. I'll get Horsie and ask her. Oh, and," she added, stopping as she opened the door. "Do you have an umbrella? I REALLY hate rain."
Horsefan looked up at Cloaky. "Was Blocky still on the RAFgrounds? I'm...I'm not sure. Wait, let me think. No...no, he definetily was not on the RAFgrounds. Why does that matter?"
"I have a hunch," said Cloaky. "But it's not good. We need to talk to Richard, and tell him about this. Come with me."
Hunter glanced up at Richard. They were in the RAFchat Room, where the RAFians were having a meeting. Richard was sitting on a throne a short way away with Cloaky and Horsefan standing beside it. What's all this about? Alic, sitting next to hunter with SlushieMan on the other side (I should hope Alic and Slushie were sitting together, as they are RAFdating) spoke Hunter's thoughts aloud. "What does Richard want now? I had a nice post written up, and was about to post it when he came along and told me to come to the RAFchat Room." "Shh," warned Slushie. "He's talking."
"I know that all of you are wondering why there's been a meeting called," began Richard. "But we have some bad news. One of our members, Blocky97 has gone missing. Horsefan--" The rest of Richard's sentance was drowned out by voices arising from the crowd of RAFians. "Has he gone on vacation?" "A whole meeting to tell us that?" "Cloaky went missing once, and now he's back!" "Blocky? Is that the ice block?" Richard waved his hand impatiently for silence.
"I called this meeting because this is a special case of a RAFian gone missing. Horsefan, tell us what you saw." As Horsie stepped forward, Slushie leaned over to Hunter and muttered "I still don't know why he called us to tell us this. It's one member. Not exactly life changing. Can't he just post it on the Blog?" Hunter opened his mouth to agree, when Alic said "Sush. Listen to Horsie. Can't you see? She looks upset. So shut up and listen."
Horse gulped, then began. "Last night, Esplin saw something in the fields across from where he was. He went to investigate. At the same time, Blocky and I, who were both on the wall as well, saw something on a hill in front of us. Blocky went to investigate, and I stayed on the wall to wait for Russell to come back. Then, before I could react, Blocky just...dissapeared. He was there one second, and gone the next. So I went out to look for him. The rain was washing it away, but I swear I saw some dragon blood on the ground. Then I heard a voice that said, 'Hmmmm. Should I take two?' And I panicked. I teleported as fast as I could, but I ened up just a short ways away, so I ran as fast as I could back to Faerie's profile thread. It was closest."
When she finished, CloakedFigure stepped forward. "And I have a hunch. They were beyond the boundries of RAF, so I believe," Cloaky paused and took a deep breath. "I believe that AlmightyQueen, AlothAssasin, and YorickBrown are back, and want, well, revenge."
"Yorick!" called someone. Hunter craned his neck to see Morfout looking up at Cloaky in disbelief. "He hated me! If he kidnapped Blocky, then what will he do to me? Or to any of us?" He said, looking around. "He has no quarrel with Blocky. Blocky wasn't even on when Yorick and Queen were here!"
Richard nodded. "That's true," he said. "We all must be on our gaurd. Mods, you'll have to work very very hard right now. Everyone, be on your gaurd, and try not to leave the RAFgrounds. We'll find Blocky, you'll see."
Personally, Hunter had his misgivings. Tyler, sitting on Hunter's other side, leaned towards him and muttered what Hunter was thinking. "And how will we find him? We have no leads, and nobody can go beyond the RAFgrounds." Alic, overhearing, exclaimed "We must find him! Who knows what they're going to do!" The words sent a shiver down Hunter's spine. Alic was right.
What would happen to Blocky if they didn't find him?
-
Your story is fun!
I do love how I put slushie in his place. As it should be. ;D
-
I love it, Horse. I like how you portrayed me.
-
I like it :) keep it up!
-
Horsie, I don't know how I've managed to miss reading this, but it's sheer brilliance. *verbal hug*
Please keep writing; you're marvellous at it. :D
-
I am horribly offended by this
Can I be in it?
-
I assume the offended thing was a joke, Shanker? :P
And, thank you very much Este! :)
And, I'm going to put more RAFians in! We introduce some more, such as Kelly, Blue, demos, Shanker, Gaz, and Mr. Guy here in chapter four!
Chapter Four
With a feeling that his head was being compressed and a groan, Blocky woke up. He opened his eyes to find he was in a cave. To his right, the cave opened, giving a few of hills with a few scrubbly trees scattered across it. There was a hut here and there, and in the distance was a run-down old city. To the dragon's left, the cave disappeared into darkness. In across from him was a small door hewn in the rock. Blocky realized that what he was sitting on was cut out into a chair shape. It was slightly uncomfortable because he was a dragon, but at least he wasn't lying on the floor. With a chill, Blocky realized that other parts of the wall next to and across from him were cut in a chair shape. More spaces for more RAFians? He wondered.
Just then, Blocky noticed that there were two people in the room, one boy and one girl. Well, she wasn't really a girl. She was more of a young woman. She was sort of tall, had very dark brown hair and she was black. She was wearing a black dress that went down to her knees. Luckily, the ripped parts of it were at the bottom. She had cold brown, and just looking at them sent a shiver down his spine. But, apart from the eyes, she was quite beautiful. The boy had dirty blonde hair, a tattered T-shirt ripped up jeans on. His skin wasn't really pale, but it was a tad lighter than the average tone. He had bright blue eyes, but they seemed to be constantly darkened by anger, as if he was alsway furious.
The woman knelt down in front of Blocky. "Well, well, well," she said softly, smiling. "It seems that our guest has woke up at last. Do you know who I am?"
And, even though he had never seen her before, Blocky did know who she was. "You're...you're AlmightyQueen," he gulped. "You were banned from RAF a little while ago." The woman smiled again and nodded.
"Quite correct. It seems that you are brighter than I thought. Well done." Queen stood up and walked back into the part of the cave that was lost in shadows.
Blocky attempted to get up, but, even though there were no ropes or chains, there seemed to be invisible bonds holding him down. He looked up at the boy. "Why can't I get up? What are you going to do to me? What sort of trickery is this?!" he questioned hotly. The boy sneered at him.
"I'm AlothAssasin," he said. "Don't worry, there's no trickery. Just Queen. She's become rather adept at teleke...teleken... oh, she's phsycic. I don't know how to say telekewhatever it is."
"Telekenises," snorted Blocky. He was about to insult Aloth when a voice came from the entrance of the cave. "Queen! I've bagged another!"
A redheaded boy strode in. He was tall and darker skinned, with green eyes and basically the same outfit as Aloth. He didn't seem as evil as the rest to Blocky. Then he saw that he was dragging something. It looked like a human...wait, no! That was a vampire. A vampire? Thought Blocky. There are only two vampires on RAF...oh no.
"Gaz!" gasped Blocky.
It was two days later, and Gaz was half-bored, half-scared out of her skull. She had dropped a really long post that she had worked forever on and had no intention of losing it just beyond the RAFborders, so she had run out and was almost back inside when she saw something coming towards her. She hesitated, then everything went black.
Happy as she was to find Blocky, she was also worried. What if no one ever finds us? What if we're picked off one by one until we're all gone?
The redheaded boy who had kidnapped her was YorickBrown. He seemed nicer than the other two, but she couldn't shake the feeling that he was evil. The fact that he kidnapped her did not help that feeling.
Aloth was constantly angry at all the RAFians for getting him again and again. He was also a bit of a coward, though.
AlmightyQueen was purely evil, in Gaz's opinion. She spent most of the time pacing and waiting for Yorick to get back, or in the depths of the caves plotting.
Then, the kidnapper returned, calling out to Queen and dumping his latest load. Queen came in and bound him down, like always. Though there was blood on the newcomer's face, he was recognizable, and Gaz froze in horror. "No!" she whispered. "Oh, God, let him be alright!" Blocky looked over and froze as well. "He'll wake up in a few hours. You did. I assume I did. He'll be fine. But I'm worried about Horsie."
Gaz saw the truth in his words. "You're right. You know each other in the Land Beyond the Internet, and she was horribly worried for you. How is she going to deal with this?"
The newest person that Yorick had taken was Horsie's brother, Mr. Guy36.
Blue Fire and demos666 made their way over to the newest board Richard had built, The Banned Announcement Board. Richard had called a meeting. Blue spoke ruefully to demos. "I don't suppose it's good news."
Demos shook his head sadly. "You saw the look on his face when he told us. I wonder who it was this time." There were a bunch of people already in the board when the two boys arrived. They made their way over to Shanker and Kelly, as there was a small opening beside them.
"Hey," Shanker greeted them. "Anybody missing that you've noticed here?"
Blue shook his head. "Nope." he said. "It's hard to tell. Other than Blocky and Gaz, of course."
Kelly nodded sadly. "I hope Horsie will be alright. Mr. Guy two. They both knew Blocky off the Internet, and Mr. Guy's RAFgirlfriend got kidnapped. Let's hope it's someone their not particualarly close too."
Demos nodded. "Look, Richard and Phoenix are up there. Let's listen."
Richard sighed sadly. "Another RAFian gone," he said softly. "Phoenix saw it. Tell us, Phoenix."
Phoenix004 stepped forward. "I saw him on the wall across from me last night. He jumped down and started running. I ran across as fast as I could, but he was already gone. I think he wanted to look for Gaz."
"Who was it?" asked Anna.
Phoenix glanced worriedly down at the crowd. "It...It was Mr. Guy36." He said, sounding like he was forcing the words out.
"Oh no..." whispered Kelly softly. "Where's Horsie?"
Horsie was standing a little ways off, looking up in shock. A few seconds passed, and you could have heard a pin drop. Then, the seal spun around and dove towards the exit. Jess and Faerie were ready. They grabbed her and tried to avoid her flailing flippers.
"LET GO OF ME!!" She screamed. "LET GO OF ME!! I'M GOING TO MURDER ALMIGHTYQUEEN!!! LET ME GO!!! IF THEY'VE HARMED HIM ONE BIT--JUST LET GO OF ME!!! I HAVE TO GO FIND HIM!!! I have to go find him! Have to...have to...have...to..." Her screaming trailed off and she broke down into tears. Faerie knelt down and spoke softly to her, then Horsie sort of walked, more like got dragged, back to her profile thread.
Her meltdown worried Blue. "If an easygoing person like Horsie completely melted down already, what next?" he asked demos. Demos shrugged and shot a sad look at the door, where people were slowly leaving. "I just hope that the next person isn't someone like Faerie. They're good friends."
Shanker leaned over to them. "And how many more meltdowns will there be before we stop Queen?" he said ominously. "How many more of us will end up like that?"

yay thanks for adding me :D
I'm really enjoying this!
-
yes, i was kidding, and thanks for adding me
btw, almighty queen was black
-
This is good! Keep up the nice work, Horsie!
I've been nabbed! Oh noes! :o
Can't wait to see what happens next. 8)
-
Dude, Horsie. This is AWESOME! Keep up the good work :)
-
OMG Horsie I love it! *Glomp* Can you add me? Even if it's just a mention, it wouldn't make sense that Gaz disappear without me spazzing. Especially with me stalking her on the boards and the Land Beyond.
-
Nice work Horsie! :)
-
Yes, In fact, Stalker, what I do is type the chapter up in Word then copy it here, so you're in the next chapter.
And, really, Shanker? Oops. I'll fix that. :P
And thanks for the praise, everyone! :)
-
YAY! I'm in the story! no sign of my kewl ice ninja powers yet but still, I'M IN THE STORY!!!!!!!!!!
-
I agree, I was in wisconsin for the past week. THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!
-
Awww, thank you all, I'm blushing! :)
And, sorry I haven't posted more in a little while, I've been busy, so I'll get more up as soon as I can!
-
different than what you said but, okey
-
Blocky, what do you mean different from what I said?
And, here's Chapter Five!
Chapter Five
Stalker sighed and put her head in her hands. It was two days after Mr. Guy's disapearence, and Horsie was no better. She missed Gaz terribly, but she couldn't imagine how Horsie felt. Each day, she switched between screaming and sobbing. Faerie and Jess stood around her constantly, making sure she didn't try and find Guy like he tried to find Gaz.
Each day, they lived in constant fear. And it rained all the time as well. "It's like Seattle," muttered Stalker, walking across the RAFgrounds. She felt bad for Cloaky and the mods these days. They worked overtime, Este as well. Constantly searching for leads without going to far. All the RAFians mostly stayed inside most of the time, staying out of the rain and away from the walls. Este had it good. All the rain around her evaporated.
Gaz stepped over to the profile threads. Horsie, Jess, and Faerie were just inside the door. "Now, look here, Horse," said Jess. "Why don't we go for a walk outside? You're used to the rain, because you're a seal."
"Can we look for Mr. Guy?" asked Horsie brightly, perking up, then sagging down again when Jess and Faerie exchanged a sad look and Faerie said "Well...no, Seal. He's gone."
Seal took a deep breath, then suddenly sank into a puddle of water and vanished. Jess flung open the door and yelled "Watch out on the walls!" Because she had no time and was rather...out of sorts, Seal only got up on the wall fortunately right next to Phoenix, who grabbed her.
Este and Cloaky, who were watching just outside the door, sighed. "We have to find them before Seal gets away and gets taken too." Said Este. "I agree," said Cloaky, nodding. "We have to find them for their own safety too. If Queen is twisted enough to do this, then who knows what she'll do to those that she took."
Stalker walked up to them "Oh, no you don't," she said. "What happens if you get taken too? Then where will we be?"
Cloaky sighed. "But Stalker, don't you want Gaz back?" he argued. "Can't you see? We have to go find them."
"Of course I want Gaz back," Said Stalker feeling a wave of sadness wash over her. "But what good will it do for Gaz if you two are gone?"
"We'll be fine," argued Este. "I'm a star, and Cloaky is a master of all Six Elements. We won't be gone for long. Just a quick skip across the internet, and we'll be back."
Stalker relented. "Ok...but be careful. If you're not back within the hour I'm going to find Richard to look for you."
Cloaky nodded. "Good plan. We'll be back, don't worry."
Stalker watched them carefully slip out, and walk away. She could see them for a while, but eventually the rain and darkness hid them from Stalker's sight. "Oh, please don't let Queen be out there," Murmered Stalker, settling down to wait.
Estelore was having a very hard time trying to hide herself. "There are times," she muttered "When it's not very good to be a star. You sorta stand out, and it's no good for sneaking.
Cloaky, who, in stark contrast, was blending in very well with his cloak and the rain, looked sympathetically at her. "We'll be fine," he said. "We just have to keep our eyes open."
They had been out for a little while, with nothing happpening. The rain was lighter, here, but they had traveled very far. Almost to the land where the low people of the Internet were. Este glanced around nervously. "You know, we've traveled a long way with no sign of anything. We should turn back>"
Cloaky shook his head. "If Queen is going to be anywhere, it's going to be here. You know that."
Este sighed. "Fine. Just a bit farther though. We have to be back inside the hour."
CloakedFigure and Estelore were feeling rather uncomfortable among all the people in the section of the Internet that they were in. Some people that looked half starved were eyeing them, some hopeful, some suspicious. Cloaky suddenly pointed to a cave high on a hill. "Up there," he said. "Maybe that's where they are."
Este looked in the opposite direction. "Either in that cave or in that city over there." She pointed at a run down city in the distance. "Let's check the cave first. If I know Queen, she'll want to be different than everybody" Cloaky murmered his agreement, and they headed up the hill.
After a little while, Cloaky and Este were climbing the hill, and were nearing the cave, when Este suddenly whispered "Shhh! Listen."
Voices drifted from the cave. "...and now she can use telekenieses." "Blocky!" whispered Cloaky.
"Telekenieses? Oh, just wonderful. This makes it all the better. We have to warn them!" "Mr. Guy!" Whispered Este happily.
"Warn them? But how?" "Gaz!" whispered Cloaky and Este together.
"We'll find a way out of here. We have to." said Blocky.
"Oh? Plotting something, my friends?" a cold voice said, and just hearing sent shivers down Cloaky and Este's spines. "That must be Queen," said Cloaky.
"Oh, I think so, Queen," a boy's voice said. "Can I punish them? Oh, please? I've hungered for this day since who knows when, please..." "That must be Aloth," said Este. "Little creep."
"Calm down, Aloth. Let them talk. Though, I can't wait to get my hands on Morfout..." "Yorick." Said Cloaky.
"Okay, here's the plan." said Cloaky." When the voices go away, we go in and knock out whoever is in there, excluding Blocky, Gaz, and Guy. Then, we go deeper in and find Queen, and get her."
"AKA, storm in and knock out everybody." said Este.
"Well, basically," admitted Cloaky. "But, be on the lookout for traps and such, things that we don't expect, like--"
Thunk.
Cloaky and Este stared down in surprise at the arrow now sticking out of Cloaky's cloak. It had a hard time going through the cloak, but it pierced his skin.
"Like that." said Cloaky. Then he moaned. "I...I don't feel so good." Apparently he really didn't, because he then collapsed.
Yorick, Queen and Aloth crept carefully down the rocks, then stopped a short ways above Estelore. Yorick had a bow in his hand. Queen flicked her hand and Cloaky, still unconciouss, zoomed up the rocks and into the cave. She smiled at Este.
"It's a special chemical on the arrow tips," she said loftily. "We haven't spent all our time in exile sitting on our butts. The chemical shuts down all powers and causes unconciousness for a little while. That's what we've been using. Now, down to business. Go home. Tell Richard that I won't rest until him and every one of his precious Staff Members are dead. The time for surrender is over. Tell Richard that this is an ultimatum. Secrecy is over. Now, this is war."
-
Ah, the plot thickens!
Awesome, Horsie :)
-
Great -- Ty Lee arrows.
Nice Horse.
-
That crazy Queen! Hasn't she heard the song? "War! What is it good for?" :P
-
the book that you were writing in school
-
Haha! Cool chapter Horsie!
-
Awesome part!
-
Oh, I sorta abandoned that, Blocky. Didn't find a way to make it work.
And, thank you everyone! I'm going to try and get as much as I can up before school starts (bah, school >:() because then most of my day is gone.
-
I luffles it Horsie!
can I be in it?
-
Thank you Bladepaw! And, yes, I plan to have you and estrid and some other RAFians that I haven't decided on yet in the next chapter.
-
Wow, that is awesome, Horse! I can't wait to see what happens next!
Would it be presumptuous to ask to be in it, even though I've been gone for the past however-many-months-I've-been-gone?
-
Actually, you're in this chapter, Nothlit.
Chapter Six
Bladepaw rolled and sprung into the air, feeling a surge of satisfaction as her claws scored a hit. She landed panting, then looked over to estrid, who was watching her. Estrid nodded her approval, then walked over and examined the tattered dummy that bladepaw had been attacking.
"Good job," estrid said, nodding again. "You had nice speed, which is key since Queen can now use telekenieses. You have to claw a little harder, though."
Bladpaw nodded. "I know," she meowed. "That's something that I need to work on. We should leave now, Yarin and Terenia want to practice." She nodded her head over a the window, where Yarin and Terenia were waitng. Estrid agreed and they left, saying hello to the two on the way out. The Terenia and Yarin returned the greeting, then went into the room and set up a new dummy, Terenia pulling out her Dracon beam and taking a few shots first.
It had been a week since Estelore had returned with the news of Cloaky's capture and Queen's ultimatum. Ever since, they had been preparing. Practicing fighting, reinforcing walls, setting up regular sentries, and discussing battle strategies. Richard said that they should practice fighting in pairs, one to fight and one to watch and critique. Mods were working overtime, working twice as hard as the other RAFians in order to keep things smooth, and try to boost some morale. Everyone else was either afraid or getting all gung-ho-Rachel-like-get-them-now-yahoo-battle-charge.
Bladepaw and estrid met Ash and Gumby coming down from the wall, just finishing sentry duty. Estrid tipped her head to one side and looked inquiringly at them. Ash shook her head. "Nothing out there, not a peep. I wonder what Queen's tactics are. Just to strike fear in us? Then strike? No clue."
Gumby, who was carrying a machine gun, spoke up. "Well, when she comes, we'll be ready."
Bladepaw looked up sharply as a sudden thought struck her. "Wait...will Queen really just attack us with three people? Surely she's not that stupid if she got Cloaky?"
Ash's eyes went wide. "Oh God...Bladepaw, You're right! But, who would follow her? Surely no one would be that stupid. She's evil."
Gumby's eyes darkened. "Estelore said she saw other people in the place near the cave. She said they either looked desparate or evil. If you're desparate, well, you'd do anything for what you want. And evil...well, them and Queen fit in just well, don't they?"
Estrid nodded. "Alright. I'm going to go tell Richard our suspicion. Ash, you want to come with me to make your report on what you saw on sentry duty?"
"Sure," said Ash. "Let's go."
Spartan281, more commonly refered to as Parker, peered over the walls through the rain. It was just after noon, but the rain made things impossible to see. He thought he saw some dark shape appear in the rain. Parker narrowed his eyes, trying to get a better look. The shape seemed to hold something up, then lower it again, and what was that coming toward him...?
Parker gave a yell of surprise and jumped to the side just in time, an arrow whizzing by his face. He turned around and yelled back into the courtyard, "Incoming! Attack! Queen Yorick and Aloth! Red Alert! Whatever I need to say to warn you, just attack!"
All the RAFians below him scrambled out of the way of the arrow, then fetched their battle things which were lying nearby and scrambled up onto the walls. Richard was the first up besides the ones on sentry duty, and he stood up confidently and called into the rain, "Queen? Are you there? Come out and fight. Isn't that what you want?"
He ducked down again as another arrow came whizzing out. Parker turned on his heat vision visor and examined the scene. Three blobs of heat appeared. "There!" He called out, pointing. "By that rock, three of them!"
Queen, Yorick, and Aloth stepped into vision of all, Yorick holding a bow. Queen smiled up at Richard. "Why, hello there, Richard!" She called out cheerfully. "Isn't it a wonderful day for a reunion of two old friends? I know you've missed me."
Richard didn't smile back. "Go away, Queen," he said. "There's no way you can beat all of us with only your three goons."
Queen looked puzzled, and she tipped her head to one side. "What do you mean by...three?"
At this point, hundreds of people streamed into vision, raggedy, and looking hungry and desparate. Many, if not all, carried weapons. It was classical many-enemy-streaming-into-vision-oh-my-god-setup. But, even though it was classical, Parker felt a chill. There were tons, outnumbering the RAFians. And with Cloaky gone...this is not good. Thought Parker.
DinosaurNothlit stared down at the people that were staring up at her. Blue slipped up to her. He was crouched so he was not visible to the people on the other side of the wall. "Here," the Ketran whispered, "Which one do you want? Shredder beam, Dracon beam, or some other weapon?"
Nothlit shrugged "I need to be at close range," she murmered out of the side of her mouth, her eyes fixed on Queen and her army. "I can't really use weapons with my hands."
"Ah," said Blue. "I forgot. Yarin fashioned you something else, because we can't let you go down there." Blue held up a Shredder beam that had an extra large space for her hands, and an extra large trigger as well. It looked slightly silly, but it was better than nothing. Nothlit nodded her thanks and grabbed it, trying to look as if Blue had never been there.
Queen scanned the wall, with the RAFians staring grimly back down at her. She smiled wickedly as she saw Horsie and Stalker, standing side by side, even though Horsie was on a box. "Ah...Horsefan1023 and GazStalker, is it not?" she asked innocently. "Are you missing...ah, what are their names...Mr. Guy36 and Gaz? They are wonderful guests."
Nothlit dove forward and grabbed Horsie just in time as she tried to dive over the wall, and Richard quickly pushed Stalker's arm back down as she took aim with her Dracon beam at Queen. Queen shook her head. "Temper, temper. Well, you asked for it. My friends, why don't we give them what we came here to give? Because, you're not the only ones who can get Dracon or Shredder beams."
The RAFians ducked behind the wall as the first barrage of shots came through. "Great." Muttered Nothlit. "I hate battles."
And indeed. Excuse this narrator for being original, but the first battle had begun.
-
Love the new part!
-
yay! Time to break out my epic ninja powers!!!!!!! Nice chapter Horsie
-
Yay! Thanks, Horse! Excellent chapter! I can't wait to see what happens next! :D
-
Why did they stop us! We have to save Gaz and Guy!
-
cool!
-
yayez! (I'm probably one tough kitteh!) Great work!
-
Well, would it be good if I dove into an army by myself?
But, thanks all! Gradually, my writing craze is running out, so I'm not all crazy about it all the time. The battle scene will be tougher to write, so it will be a bit longer until the next chapter goes up.
-
Tis bloody good!
Can this Angry Zombie be in it? please?
-
Can shorty come in too? Nice Fan Fic Seal!!!!!!!
-
Coolies, Horsie! I like it.
-
awesome!!!!
-
Awww, thanks all of you! I'm blushing!
And, I'll put you in the next chapter, short. Hmmm...I'm blanking. Any other RAFians that are on lately that I missed. Oh, ThinkAgain...anyone else?
-
Mewtwo has a lot of options you know.
-
Why did they stop us! We have to save Gaz and Guy!
nobody cares about me XD
-
No, nobody does like you, Blocky. ;D
Just kidding. Next chapter is half done. Might be up in a few days.
-
Why did they stop us! We have to save Gaz and Guy!
nobody cares about me XD
Aww, it's not that. It's just that me and Horsie are freaking out because Guy is her brother and Gaz is my sanity, amongst other things.
-
I am glad I was gone for a while! I missed out on all the drama and stupid people. ;p
-
Oh, do you want me to put you in this too, TTH?
-
Oh, do you want me to put you in this too, TTH?
Only if I am clueless as to what is going on! Haha
-
Alright, I'll put you in as coming back from a vacation in The Lands Beyond. Sorry I'm taking so long to post the next chapter, just life catching up to me.
-
Take your time, but hurry up.
-
Well, good for you, because here's chapter seven! Including another bad guy. I didn't put you, TTH, in this one, but you'll be in the next one.
Chapter Seven
"Wait...I think he's waking up. Cloaky? CloakedFigure, can you here me?"
"Cloaky! I swear, he moved...is he alright? Is he like, in a coma or something?"
"Ummmm...Earth to Cloaky? Wait! No...yeah, I think he's awake!"
"No...wait, you're right! Cloaky! Wake up! Say something! Moan!"
Cloaky chose the last option and moaned. Blinking awake, he looked to his right and saw Mr. Guy closest to him, Gaz beyond him, and just behind Gaz, Blocky. They were all looking anxiously at him. With a jolt of panic, Cloaky realized that his hood was down, revealing his feline form, somewhat like a tiger. It should be incinerating everything around him, but nothing was happening. He glanced down at the arrow in his cloak. Was that it? Cloaky tried to lift his hand to take it out and found he couldn't. Mr. Guy, observing his attempts to pull his hand up, shook his head.
"She has telekeniesis powers. Chained us down. I think the arrows have something on them that stop us from using our powers. Just recently, Queen informed us that she was going to take her first attempt to take RAF. She said she was going to attack today."
"Oh no!" said Cloaky. "We have to get back there and help them!"
HiImshort crouched behind the wall, listening to the barrage of Dracon and Shredder fire pound against the wall. Short, who was Mewtwo, created a ball of energy. The other RAFians were popping up, quickly firing, then ducking back down again. Being Mewtwo, even though he had a limit to his powers, he peered through the wall and found his target, then jumped up, flung it, and ducked down again. A cry of pain rewarded him. Ubaki, who fired off a few shots next to him, turned to Short.
"Pardon me for being non-original, but there are far to many of them. How can we win?"
"We've gotta keep fighting," said Short. "We can't let these guys overrun RAF. Where will we be then?"
ThinkAgain, who was on the opposite side of Short, fired off a shot, then let out a yell of pain and fell to the ground. Ubaki and Short rushed over to him. There was a sizzling dracon wound in his arm. Think was very shaky, but still concious. "I'm...I'm alright," he said, turning very pale as he tried to stand up. He just then remained in a crouch. "I'll be fine, really..." he said, looking at Ubaki and Short, who were eyeing him disbelievingly.
Short shook his head. "OK, but be careful." He then shot off another energy ball.
A little while later, Faerie came flying up to Ubaki, Short, and Think. "Horse is just about to loose a huge wave, and as soon as she does, shoot a bunch of times as they're knocked down."
"Ok," said Ubaki. Faerie flew off again, telling the other people the news. A little while later, Horsie let loose a huge wave, and massive confusion ensued. There was water sloshing everywhere, shot's being fired, yells of pain and confusion, Richard shouting orders, Queen shouting orders, and a general hullaballo.
When the confusion had subsided some, there were a lot of the banned's army lying on the ground, some unconcious, and one or two shot too many times, dead. But, there was a problem. Horsie had used the confusion, along with Stalker, to slip down from the wall. They were currently charging across the ground towards Queen, intent on getting back Mr. Guy, Blocky, Gaz, and Cloaky. Este acted fast, zooming down from the wall and landing in front of them. "Get back!" she yelled. "Get back, or you're going to get killed! What good will that do to Guy and Gaz and Blocky and Cloaky?"
Knowing that they were beaten, the pair angrily crossed back into the wall, Gaz stunning someone trying to enter with them. Este dodged several Dracon beams coming from the bushes, then zoomed back up and over the wall.
Richard stood up again. "You're beaten, Queen." He called. "You can't win, and you know it. Leave now, or we will kill you. And that's a promise."
Queen pushed her way out of the bushes, and strangely, smiled up at Richard. "You really think we were beaten that easily? We're leaving because we got back some of the cards, and I want to keep it that way. It's like a game, Richard. I hold some cards, and you hold more. But, I just took one of your cards. Yorick?"
Yorick came from the bushes, distainfully dragging something. He dumped it on the ground, smirked, said "Oops. I dropped him." Then held it up. TobSie, also known as Nomad, gave a little gasp and tried to raise the Shredder beam in her hand, but Richard gently pushed it back down and said "We'll get him back. I promise, TobSie."
TobSie's RAFboy, Duff, was slumped in Yorick's arms, an arrow sticking out of his shoulder.
Mr. Guy struggled vainly against the invisible bonds on his hands in feet. Have to get back...have to help them...have to help Horsie! His thoughts pounded against his head and he pulled and twisted, but to no use. His knowledge of computers and just plain knowledge wouldn't help him here. A day or so after his capture, Aloth had come in with three arrows, which he stuck into each of them, making sure, that if they had powers, they wouldn't use them. It was pointless...at least until Cloaky came along. They just left the arrow in him, though.
Cloaky, next to Guy, was attempting to pull out his arrow with his teeth. His attempts so far had only left him with mouthfuls of the feather fletching, which he spent a while trying to spit them out again. The Realm Walker reached down as far as he could, but began spitting out the feathers again.
Gaz was just sitting and thinking, trying to think of a way out of here, or some plan to get Yorick or Aloth, or most prefered, Queen.
Blocky was exerting his dragon stregnth against the bonds, and was having the most luck so far. He could move his hands about and inch.
Aloth was the first to return. He glanced fearfully over his shoulder, then wormed his way into the door cut in the wall across from the prisoners.
Yorick strode in next. Guy's heart plummeted as he saw Duff being roughly dragged across the ground. Duff's face was all scratched up, probably from being dragged across the rocky ground. Guy realized that they all probably looked like that. The others did, and his face sorta stung. He was so used to it by now, he didn't realized. Yorick dumped Duff on the other side of Cloaky, and slowly backed away.
Then Queen came in. Her face was a mask of fury, and all her movements gave away that she was really furious. She flicked her hand, and Duff was arranged in the same position as the rest of them, then his hands and feet stuck to the floor. She whipped around and turned to Yorick. "We had them. We had them, and if it wasn't for that blasted little seal, we would have won. How many times have I told you to get her? How many?!"
Yorick flinched, then said. "I've tried Queen, and I'll only gun for her now, but I need--no, I would like you to come with so that you pull them over the wall when I shoot them. You're so powerful, you can get them from afar. Also, I have very good news. We have someone who is willing to join RAF, and spy on them, and tell us their plans. She bears a grudge against a certain RAFian, and she is willing to get all of them. However, she wants part of our power."
Queen shook her head. "When we win, we'll just kill her. That's excellent news! When can I meet her?"
"Right now," a voice said from the cave entrance, and a cloaked person came in. Guy rapidly cast a glance over to Cloaky. The Realm Walker was stiff with shock, and let out a little gasp. Mr. Guy turned his attention back to the newcomer, who walked over to Cloaky.
"You didn't tell me you had captured him, Yorick!" She exclaimed. Yorick looked confused as the spy stood back up and walked back over to them. "This is the RAFian I bear a grudge against! Hahahaha! It enlightens me to see you've already got him. But, you still need my services, I guess?"
Queen strode up to her. "My name is AlmightyQueen. Who are you?"
Cloaky interuppted them, his voice cold with dislike. "Her name is Dagger. What are you doing here, Dagger? Can't you just kill me now and be happy with that as I lie helpless at your feet?"
Dagger tipped her head to one side. "Cloaky's hood is down, yet the ones next to him are alive. How?"
Aloth came from the hole, holding an arrow. "This, miss." he said. "A special chemical on it shuts down powers."
"Excellent," said Dagger, who deftly snapped the arrow so that only a small part of the shaft was left near the tip. She stuck it into her cloak, where it was very nearly invisible, only the ones that saw it put in would probably find it. She then pulled down her hood, reavealing a reptilian snake-like creature, like Cloaky was a feline creature.
"My name is Dagger," she said. "And I'm, well, I suppose Cloaky's evil sister."
-
lol I get it! Cloak and Dagger! Nice wave Horsie, your control over water could just as well be as good as mine
-
Thanks, Blue! I'll make sure to include your powers in the next chapter.
Actually, Cloaky was the one who informed me that Dagger was his Realm Walker evil sister, in Introduction Randomness. I saw fitting that she should be in it.
-
Awesome chapter, Horse! Very epic battle scene.
-
I've been Ty Leed (http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Ty_Lee)! ;)
Apparently, Dagger has now become my archenemy nemesis. I like.
-
Love the new part!
-
OK, off the top of my head, next chapter will be starring Tobiasthehawk, The Frozen Angry Zombie, and Blue's ice ninja powers. :P
I haven't started writing yet, just making a plan.
-
I love this story, so awesome
Keep it up! :thumbsup:
-
Just thought of something. If your plot-line should need someone to be critically injured from the fighting (to add more drama or some-such; not that your story really needs any more drama, though), feel free to use me, since I would have provided the biggest target for dracon beams during the battle.
I'm not trying to tell you how to write your story, just, yanno, throwing that out there. You know, just FYI in case you would have otherwise been reluctant to be that merciless to my character. >:D
Anyway, I'm sure it will be great, whatever you do. Can't wait to see what happens next!
-
Awesome chapter Seal! :thumbsup:
-
Nooo! Why do they keep stopping us?! WHY!?!
I love this story way too much.
-
Well, one person going against Queen won't do us any good. But don't worry, in the next chapter,there's more of our plotting, Dagger's debut, and more action! ;D
Yay for infomercials...
-
I love the new part! Keep writing. You're an awesome writer
-
Um...thank you...um...you have nice shoes...I gues...hey, don't walk away! I'm still thinking of what to say! Umm...nice hair? Nice shirt? You look nice? You're smart! Come back I haven't decided yet! Don't think I'm mean! Noooo! Wait!
Sorry, in chat, Faerie, Alic and I were talking about how compliments make us awkward, how you feel like you have to compliment somebody back, but then it seems like you're sucking up, and when you're thinking about what to say, if they walk away you feel mean.
They told me to create an awkward scene here. Blame them.

Sorry, in chat, Faerie, Alic and I were talking about how compliments make us awkward, how you feel like you have to compliment somebody back, but then it seems like you're sucking up, and when you're thinking about what to say, if they walk away you feel mean.
They told me to create an awkward scene here. Blame them.
Muahahahahahaha.
I take back the compliment?
-
You write amazingly well for your age, Seal. I love the theme too, nice idea. Thanks for including me :) :)
-
Nice work Horsie! I'm looking forward to finding out more about this mysterious Dagger...
Aw, don't say that! That's just what Dagger wants you to think! ;)
-
Awww, thank you all. I really do love writing, and it makes me happy that you all like my work! :)
I'll be sure to get more up soon.
-
Beautiful! You could be the next Steven King* or J.K.Rowling.
*(Reference to good book writing, not being a man. ;D)

Our driver ended up in freaking Naperville the other day. Gooooood luck!

The chapters might be shorter, and more, now that I'm at school, but here's chapter eight!
Chapter Eight
The Angry Frozen Zombie stared hard at the person approaching. It was some...lizard-like creature...didn't appear to be holding a weapon, but with Queen you never could tell. She looked blissful, like there was nothing wrong, and went right up to the front gates, then knocked. Zombie frowned. A new member? Could it be?
She dashed down from the stairway, and opened a small window in the door. The thing stared back. It smiled.
"Hello!" The newcomer said cheerfully.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Zombie asked, narrowing his eyes. She looked slightly hurt.
"My name is..." Here she hesitated a tiny bit, and looked as if her tongue wanted to say one thing and her brain something else. Finally she said "My name is Snake."
Zombie looked at her. "I can see why." She said. "But what do you want? What does Queen want now?"
Snake looked confused. "Who's Queen?" She asked. "I came here to join RAF. I love Animorphs. This is an Animorphs forum, right? Why don't you trust me?"
Zombie signaled to someone nearby, who ran off to get a mod and Richard. He turned back to Snake. "One minute," he said. "Our Administrator is coming."
Richard came striding across the grounds, and Zombie stepped aside, letting Richard take her place at the window. "Hello, Snake." he said. "You say you want to join RAF"
Snake nodded. "Do you do this to every new member?" She asked indignantly. "Can't I just come in?"
"You don't understand," said Richard, shaking his head. "We're at war with a former RAFian. You could be part of a plan to take over the forum. We'll let you in, but watch you carefully. You won't take part in sentry duties, and will have a constant companion. Is that alright with you?"
Snake nodded eagerly. "Can I come in now?"
"WHAT?!" Tobiasthehawk let out a shriek of disbelief. Claire stood in front of him, and she didn't look happy.
"Look, Tobias," she said. "I don't like it any more than you do. But what can I do? I'm sorry, but Richard wants you to be Snake's companion. It's a very important job, because she has to be watched so it can be proved she's a spy."
Tobias was still angry. "The sooner she's gone, the happier I'll be. I don't trust her any farther than I can spit!"
Claire nodded. "I agree completely. But what can I do? If Richard says so...well, we've just gotta watch and wait. Yup. Watch and wait. Here, she's waiting for you."
Tobias managed to smile weakly at Snake, who grinned at him. She's far to cheerful, Tobias silently grumbled. Well, let's get this over with.
"Hi," he said to her. "I'm Tobiasthehawk. I heard that you're Snake?"
She nodded. "That's right! I can't wait to be shown around! Which way to the blog? To the chat room? Ooo! What about the Bored Board?"
Tobias sighed. "Follow me. I'll show you the Blog and chat first, then we'll work our way around the boards. Remember, you have to be willing to defend RAF, so you might want to practice your aim with a Dracon or Shredder."
Snake let out a delighted gasp. "You have Dracon and Shredder beams?! Ooooo! I'm so excited! Lead the way! Let's go!"
"This way!" Tobias said, feigning cheerfulness, then ran ahead so that he could grumble to himself "Why does she have to be so freakishly cheerful about everything? Why?! Why me?!"
Horsie narrowed her eyes as she watched Tobias and Snake make their way around. "There's something...framili ar about her..." Horsie murmered. Where had she seen her before? Had she really seen her before?
Tobias led Snake over to her. "Hello, Horsie." He said. Then he turned to Snake. "This is Horsefan1023. We call her Horsie. Er...her brother...Mr. Guy...got taken by Queen...so she's not...feeling as well as normal...I gues..." Tobias's voice trailed off and he quickly said "Well, why don't we go see the Media Board?" He hustled Snake off.
Horsefan stared after the retreating pair. There was something...wrong. Something didn't feel right, ,like the areas around this "Snake" were chilled with some evil force. There was a strong resemblance between the newcomer and somebody else...Oh, who on Earth was it?
Faeire and Blue walked up to her, and sat down beside her. "Hey," said Blue. Blue was holding some Gatorade, and he took a sip.
"Just came back from training?" Guessed Horsie. Blue nodded and took another gulp.
Faerie looked at Snake. "There's something...odd...a bout her. Don't you think? Reminds me of somebody, I just don't know who."
Horsie looked up sharply. "I feel the smae way! I just can't place it! Ugh, it's driving me nuts!"
Over the next week or so, Faerie observed Snake carefully. The feeling nagged her, putting her on edge. She could tell Horse felt the same way. Faerie was relieved. She seemed to have gotten over her craziness stage, and was set on getting Guy back by winning the war. Horse was chatting with Ash and Jess nearby. Faerie flittered closer, and caught a few snatches of conversation.
"...hope they'll be alright," Jess said.
"I'm sure they will, what else would she do to them?" Asked Horsie, almost desparate.
"I'm worried that we'll have a setback without Cloaky," said Ash. "I mean, he's--"
Whatever else Ash was saying was drowned out by Horsie's sudden yell. "THAT'S IT!!!!!!!"
Horse bolted over to Faerie and talked so fast Faerie could barely make out what she said. "That's who Snake reminds me of!! That's it!! Cloaky!! Snake reminds me of Cloaky!!!"
-
Nice, very nice
Although Angry Frozen Zombie is a she, easy mistake though
-
I think I know who Snake is, but that's only cuz of what im guessing is a typo
[spoiler]
"This is Horsefan1023. We call her Horsie. Er...her brother...Mr. Guy...got taken by Queen...so she's not...feeling as well as normal...I gues..." Tobias's voice trailed off and he quickly said "Well, why don't we go see the Media Board?" He hustled Dagger off.
you might wanna fix that before anybody else notices
[/spoiler]
-
Oh, crap! I'm really sorry, Zombie! Oh god....I'm so embarrased... :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ So sorry!
And, thanks, Blue. I wanted to make it pretty obvious, but not that obvious.
Geez, I really need to proofread this... :-[
-
Lol. Another good chapter!
Question! Can I be a spy :D
-
What do you mean, be a spy? Like, spy on Queen?
Or turn traitor and spy on us? ;D
-
Haha. Spy on Queen. Or be a double agent. Like, pretend to be on Queen's side, but secretly be on RAF's side.
Yep.
-
Your still a good writer. *Confetti explodes.*
-
Yay! Confetti!
And, alright, Faerie, that will be in the next chapter. Oooo...I see it in my mind now, and now I want to write really bad but my brother is on the computer with the story on it...bah...
-
I want to dismember someone >:D
-
I think I know who Snake is
I think it's pretty obvious by the end of the post anyway Blue (nice twist BTW Horsie!)
Haha. Spy on Queen. Or be a double agent. Like, pretend to be on Queen's side, but secretly be on RAF's side.
Cool idea Faerie, but now that you've posted it we'll be expecting it... unless that's just what you want us to think! :o ;)
-
Yay! Confetti!
And, alright, Faerie, that will be in the next chapter. Oooo...I see it in my mind now, and now I want to write really bad but my brother is on the computer with the story on it...bah...
Bah. Tell him to get off. Tell him I told him to. The end.
-
Yay! Confetti!
And, alright, Faerie, that will be in the next chapter. Oooo...I see it in my mind now, and now I want to write really bad but my brother is on the computer with the story on it...bah...
Bah. Tell him to get off. Tell him I told him to. The end.
Oh, yeah, Faerie. I'm sure that will go over very well.
-
Great part, Horsie!
-
Yay! Confetti!

Oh, yeah, Faerie. I'm sure that will go over very well.
Of course it will!
-
I just love it^^
-
Too funny. Way too funny.
-
Aaah! Too busy! First school, then Civ (A comp game.) Then RAFing, then Skyping, and chatting and RAFing all at the same time!
Too much!
-
Take your time, Horsie. Don't rush. 8)
-
Slow down!
-
relaaaaax
-
Well, you're the one's telling me that my writing is good, thus driving me to write more. Stop complimenting me! ;D
Just kidding. I think RAFtivity is down now that school has started, so that's understandable. I'll write more today, cross my heart. Won't get something up, probably, but I'll write more.
*stops rushing, slows down, and relaxes.* :)
-
Good! Otherwise I might have to mosey on over to wherever you live :D
-
Bravo! You're slowing down!
-
Good! Otherwise I might have to mosey on over to wherever you live :D
and take you for a little ride >:D
-
Nothing is more terrifying than a moseying Faerie. I've yet to see anybody survive an encounter with such a one.
...of course, that's because I've never seen anybody encounter such a one in the first place...
...but that's beside the point.
BEWARE!
-
See, Estelore knows what's going on.
We're so stealthy in our moseying, you don't know we're coming until you're hit! BAM!
-
Lol, Faerie. I'll be looking behind me now, watching for the mosying Fae-
-
even tho queen has been gone for a while, its still wonderfully refreshing to see such stories written about her. well done seal! i love it
-
I never met Queen, and this isn't what I think about her, it's just a story. The others too. That's a disclaimer, in case someone Venom comes back. I don't want him to be offended.
-
Not to be surly, but -- considering how Queen freely insulted nearly everybody here remorselessly with reckless abandon -- she deserves it be insulted. You were smart not to get involved in that thread, that discrimination thread, Horse. But that's neither here nor there -- besides, you can tell how "fond" I am of her in my parodies. ;)
-
Hey Horsie! This story is awesome!
Hey, who's my partner? Can it be Hunter? He's got the .50 cal pistol, and I got the .50 cal sniper. I take 'em out far, he covers my back close range. Don't forget my sword!
These battles sound awesome.
Don't forget, I love the rain, I hate sunshine.
-
horse i know those arent ur personal opinions. but im with cloak. considering she was a royal jerk to anyone who didnt agree with her, she diserves such parodies and stories about her
keep up the good work!
-

ahh i love the bigot magnum XD
-
Just so you know, use me as you please! I am an andalite-warrior with little sympathy. ;D
love it love it love it, your story is so fun!
-
Hell yeah, and with my shielding, we would be untouchable! Yorick and his gay little bow and arrows would be helpless against us. >:D
-
i promote the abuse of queen at anytime, even though i never meet her either.
-
Queen was always nice to me (but I've been told that's probably only cuz we're both African American) and before the incident, I never saw her being disrespectful to any of her fellow RAFians or heard any of them talk about her. Now that I've seen how much of a b*tch she truly is, I don't blame anyone for attacking her
-
oh blue she was plenty mean to other rafians. and she HATED claire for some reason. how the hell do u hate claire? :huh:
-
Maybe she was allergic to Marvel?
-
I wouldnt know, but I've heard some of the stories about Queen from Hunter, boy am I glad I wasnt RAFian at the time, although know I'm quite happy to be considered part of RAF
Excellent last chapter btw Seal, very nice indeed
-
Yeah this story is cool.
I think I was here, but I read half of the infamous thread and couldn't continue. It pissed me off just reading other's opinions. I wouldn't be able to control myself if I posted.
-
oh blue she was plenty mean to other rafians. and she HATED claire for some reason. how the hell do u hate claire? :huh:
Obviously she was just jealous of Claire's awesomeness! :)
-
makes sense mike. claire IS pretty awesome :P
-
Pretty awesome? PRETTY? Kat, Claire is hugely, off the awesome chart awesome. :)
-
meh, no need to exagerate seal ::) ;D
-
Yeah, though she is awesome, she has yet to achieve Faesome status.
I think we only have two custom awesome members, right? Gawesome (Goom) and Faesome (Faerie)?
-
Yeah, though she is awesome, she has yet to achieve Faesome status.
I think we only have two custom awesome members, right? Gawesome (Goom) and Faesome (Faerie)?
Then we have Richard.
-
That's because Richard is all forms of awesome combined. He is undefinable.
The only adjective that truly defines his awesomness, is "Richard".
-

Exactly.
-

Please. Claire is mega awesome. Mega super insanely awesome.
And Horsie. Don't want to pester you, but I do want to be entertained. New chapters are always a plus :D
-
Yeah, we can't all just entertain ourselves here. It's getting too off topic.
So should we dub Claire, Clawesome?
-
Sorry, new one will be up soon. I've been lazy... :(
But, next one is full of cliffhangers. So I'll write more soon after.
-
That's okay, it's probably been 2-3 weeks since I've written another chapter for the Yankee Squad fanfic. I'm still in the brainstorming stages on what to do next. I don't want to end it so soon, so I'm trying to think up trials for them, but it's difficult.
I completely sympathize with ya. ;)
-
Yeah, we can't all just entertain ourselves here. It's getting too off topic.
So should we dub Claire, Clawesome?
Ha ha, great new word Parker!
But yeah we should really stick to the topic...
-
Thanks Mike.
How many banned are there in RAF? It seems a little unfair that the villains only have 3 main members. Sure they've recruited a bunch of losers from other faggy forums, but still...
-
Aloth, Queen, and Yorick are the only ones I know of.
-
Aw, I was hoping that you could look up the names on the member list, but dey no dere.
-
Sorry...that's the only three, I think.
Anyway, this chapter doesn't have quite the cliffhanger I wanted, but here it is.
Chapter Nine
Nina and Ellimist were on patrol when they heard Horsie's yell. Nina jumped and whipped around so fast she almost fell off the wall, and Adam had to grab her and pull her upright.
"Thanks," she gasped. "What the heck is Seal screaming about? I thought she had gotten over her temporary breakdown."
Adam frowned. "I don't know...I think she said something about Snake and Cloaky. I have no idea why. Let's see what's going on." They went down the stairs together, and ran over to the small crowd clustering around Seal. She was talking excitedly. "I was wondering about it, I felt that Snake reminded me of someone, and for the longest time I couldn't remember who it was, but I remember now. It's Cloaky! I don't know why, it was just that Cloaky was once grudgingly describing what he looked like under his cloak, and he said it was a feline-like creature. Snake is a reptilian creature, but..." Horsie trailed off and frowned. "I don't know. Something isn't right. I feel like I've seen her before."
Alic stepped forward. <Well,> she thought-spoke. <If she reminds you of Cloaky, then that might be it.>
Horsie still looked troubled. She shook her head. "I don't think so...I don't know."
Snake shut the door to her thread, "Welcome to the Snakehole," tightly, and turned to face the things inside. She smiled the traditional evil I-have-an-evil-plot-mwahaha-wicked-smile, and stepped over to her desk. Her room was shabby, mostly looked like a hole, and very dark apart from a desk with a light on it. She pulled an arrow and two flasks out of a bag. Carefully strapping on rubber gloves, Snake cleared off the desk with her information that was required nowadays, with Queen still at large. Information she had faked.
She opened up the two flasks. One the chemical, one plain water. She picked up the arrow, and without hesitation, she plunged it into the first flask. A putrid smell arose in the lair, and Snake quickly flipped on the fan in the room. a hissing noise, and she took it out. A single drip fell onto Snake's desk, and a hole burned in it. She cursed quietly, then shoved it into the water. All of the water vanished, but the arrow head didn't disolve. Intead, it turned a green color, about the color of Snake's scales. She examined it, then smiled, satisfied. She recapped the chemical, and put it back in the bag. She dug a shallow hole, and shoved the bag in it, then scraped some dirt in it. She examined the room, then dug up a bow, buried nearby.
After she hid her bow and arrow in a bad wich she strapped across her back, she turned and looked at the lair. With a last, satisfied smile, she left.
Even though it was a time of crisis, Seal was running through her daily threads. After a stop at simsRAF and RAF CRUSH, she went to the RPG Board. She posted in "Sixteen Elemental Worlds of Elemaus," then went to "Warriors RPG." She made one final stop in "Introduction Randomness." She writ a post and was about to put it in the thread, when she heard a pane of glass shattering. Had she been able to whip around, she would have, but she was too busy collapsing onto the ground and falling unconciouss.
The door swung open and a figure stepped inside, wincing as the arrowhead in her hip suddenly dug in with her step. She ignored the pain and bundled Seal into a garbage bag, snapping part of the arrow so that the garbage bag didn't have a big sudden rise in it. She grabbed the bag and hurried out of the room, leaving shattered glass and a small bit of blood on the floor.
Faerie was stepping across the grounds, looking for Horsie. She noticed Snake, with a large black garbage bag in her hands. Instantly, Faerie was suspicious of her facial expression. She kept glancing around, like she didn't want people to see what she was doing. Faerie jogged over to her. "Hi, Snake," she said.
Snake whipped her head up and stared at Faerie, looking...was...was Snake scared? "Er...hi..." stammered Snake. "Just...er, just taking out the trash."
Faerie glared at Snake, openly hostile now. "Snake, you're a dreadful liar. What's in the bag?" Faerie reached out to grab the bag, but Snake jerked it back. "Nothing!" Yelped Snake, clearly panicking now. "Just trash! Can I go to the dumpster now?"
Faerie made another grab for the bag. "Not until you tell me what's really in the bag! Don't lie to me, Snake!"
Snake jerked away again, and began to run, but by sheer dumb luck, she tripped. Faerie sprinted over to her and ripped the bag from her grasp, looking inside. Faerie gasped. "Snake...wha...what have you..."
Snake snarled, and leapt up, bringing up a large rock in her fist, and swinging it at full force.
Dameg was polishing her Dracon beam in the shelter of the wall. Suddenly, voices rang out across the courtyard. She looked up, and saw Snake running, then vanish behind a Board. Faerie sprinted after her. Tocade, who was sitting next to Dameg, writing a post, looked up as well. "Looks like they're having an argument," said Tocade, glancing over at Dameg. "Should we go break it up?"
Dameg nodded. "Yeah. No sense in arguing among ourselves now. We need to get back those Queen has captured. The two stood up, and then heard a scream. "DAGGER!!!!"
The two looked at each other briefly, then sprinted across the grounds to where Snake and Faerie had vanished. They whipped around the corner, Dameg with her weapon drawn, and Tocade with a rock in her hand. They saw a door hanging open, and Snake sprinting away with a black garbage back and something else in her hand. Dameg instinctively raised her Dracon, and fired, but missed. Tocade was about to hurl her rock, but Dameg shook her head. "It's too late," Dameg said softly. "She's gone."
-
Oh snap! That **** has Horsie and Fae! What other devious means will Queen have of kidnapping the other RAFians?
-
Excellent, Horse.
-
OMG! This is probably one of the best chapters so far! I love it!
-
I had a writing frenzy last night, so I should have another chapter up today! Woohoo!
-
Awesome Seal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
ok. I didn't read all 16 pages, so I don't if you've noticed yet, but you keep spelling my name wrong. it's a W, not a U
-
Oh, god. I REALLY need to proofread this more, that's the second embarrasing mistake I've made. Sorry, morf. :-[
I suppose it's not as bad as the mistake I made with Zombie, though...
-
Great new part, Horsie!
-
I could always be a bad guy, I am a demon dragom
-
Oh, god. I REALLY need to proofread this more, that's the second embarrasing mistake I've made. Sorry, morf. :-[
I suppose it's not as bad as the mistake I made with Zombie, though...
it's ok. it's sort of understandable since the phrase it comes from does spell it with a U...
-
Blocky: You've already been captured, but I'll keep that in mind for the sequel. Yes, I am writing a sequel after this one is done.
Morf: Alright, I'll make sure to spell it right next time you show up.
-
Sorry for double posting.
Chapter Ten
Queen had never felt so triumphant in her life. In disgrace and humiliation, she had be banned from RAF, rejected from all other sites, and forced to live in a cave. Now, this was her chance to get back at those who had ruined her life. Namely, one. Richard.
Queen was considering having Yorick and Aloth and this Dagger call her "Your Majesty," from now on. After all, she was a Queen. Our hometown villan preened herself, telling herself that she would rule justly, fairly, and do wrongs to those who had wronged her. After all, she reasoned, people had wronged her just by joining RAF. So, every RAFian deserved to be punished.
And now, another triumph. Dagger had bagged two more, and both were avid RAF posters. Faerie Larka, and Horsefan. Dagger proved to be very useful after all.
She strode into the main cavern. Faerie and Horsie were both still out cold, but Faerie didn't have an arrow in her. Dagger had gone old style and used a rock. She paused before going out, grabbed a freshly chemicalized arrow, and walked back in. Dagger was arranging them. The seal proved to be a problem. Not being human at all, she didn't fit in the chair cut outs. So, she was just laid on the top of the chair and bound down like that. Queen idly waved her hand and the telekenesis tied them down. "I've gotten so good at that." She said, very satisfied with herself.
"Yes, Queen!" Said Aloth, sucking up to her as usual.
Queen hesitated. "Call me 'Your Majesty,' now." She said.
Horsie was scared, estatic, and worried all at the same time. She was scared because she had been kidnapped, estatic because she had found Mr. Guy, and worried about the rest of RAF. She knew Queen was going to try something soon. And she wanted to fight. Everyone here was fine, a little banged up, but fine nonetheless. It had been a day or so since she had been captured. She didn't really know how long she had been out.
Cloaky shook his head. "I have to get this arrow out," he said for about the millioth time. He had long since stripped it of all the fletching, but he had yet to get a grip on the actual shaft. He tried again. Horsie's heart leapt with excitement.
"Cloaky's got it!" She said excitedly. Everyone looked over at him. He pulled and pulled and pulled, but then his teeth slipped. The prisoners sighed. Cloaky looked up at them. "I'm not at a good angle. I don't think I'll be able to get it out."
Everyone was stunned. Cloaky hadn't given up over the last week or so. Every day, encouraging, telling them they would get out. Now, he was giving up?
As if to confirm their statement, he sighed again and rested his head across the rocks. "I can't believe I'm stuck in a cave. Tied to a rock."
The news of Horsie and Faerie was already out, and morale was low again. But, it was like some bright flame of hope had begun to burn, because the clouds were gone and the sun shone brightly. Either that, or everyone was glad that they were gone. I'd go with the former.
Richard was seated on his throne, and was thinking very hard. Queen had the advantage of numbers, but with their combined abilities, they should overcome her.
A brilliant thought struck Richard, and he was about to stand up and declare, "That's it!", when Jess came bolting in. Contrary to looking hopeful, her face was a mask of horror. "Richard!" She yelled. "The-the mods! They've all vanished!"
Claire poked her head over a rock. "Yup," she whispered to Phoenix, right below her. "They're in here."
"Good," said Phoenix, and went back down the rock to tell Goom and Esplin. Claire followed. When she reached her fellow mods, they all backed away from the cave, getting ready to plan.
Claire opened her mouth to speak, but Russ silenced her, and whispered, "Listen."
Horse's voice rang clearly over the rocks. "That's strange. I could have sworn I saw Claire's head. If I did, because I'm clearly seeing things, I would tell her that Queen, Yorick, and Aloth are gone, but Cloaky's evil sister, Dagger, who pretended her name was Snake in order to kidnap Faerie and I, is still here. Queen can use telekenises, so that's how we're trapped on the rocks. All of us are here."
Blocky, next spoke, sounding weary. "Horse, what are you rambling on about?"
Horse: "Oh, nothing. Just talking to myself."
Cloaky, sounding majorly irritated said, "Well, shut up. Talking to yourself won't do us any good."
Claire turned to the rest. "Oh, dear," she said softly. Goom nodded. "Sounds like Cloaky has snapped." He said. Esplin sighed. <I suppose, being a Realm Walker, and able to move freely through any universe, he feels even more weighed down.> Phoenix, stood up.
"That's it," he said. "We're going to get them out of there. Now."
-
Chapter 9: Rock+Head=Ouch.
Chapter 10: Kidnapped+Stuck in a cave=Oh no!
Chapter9+Chapter10= Awesome
See, math is applicable to daily life!
-
The Mods have come to save the day!!!
-
Yup. They get to use their awesome mod powers!
-
Recon Mission!
-
And now, the outcome!
Chapter Eleven
By now, everyone back at RAF was completely freaking out. Not only had Snake, or Dagger, or whoever, taken Horse and Faerie, but all the mods were gone too. Queen must be more dangerous then they thought. At the news, Richard had imediately started scouring RAF. No clues anywhere. Richard had checked every board, poked his head in the threads, searched all over the walls, checked all their profile threads, checked thread doors for broken glass, like Horsie's kidnapping, and sent announcements over the PA system, telling everyone to tell him if they find anything.
Richard needed time to think. The Admin went to his profile thread. Richard's thread was not lavishly decorated, just like a room. Spacious, and a holographic board on the wall, so PMs would show up there. He went over and read the latest one. It was from Claire!
Richard:
Sorry to leave on such short notice, but the mods and I have snuck out to try and get back Blocky, Gaz, Guy, Cloaky, Duff, Faerie, and Horsie. We figured, that if there was another spy in the building, and we vanished, they wouldn't suspect us sneaking off. So we left. I urge you to delete this message when you read it, and we'll send a follow up message when we get to the cave. Don't tell people where we are. It's better like this. We're all okay.
Claire
Richard read the message with a sigh of relief. The mods were all right. But, Claire was right. If there was another spy, it would be better to keep up the pretense that they had vanished, even though it was stressful on the members. He deleted the message.
"Stressful," said Richard, who began to pace, "Is an understatement."
Richard paced and thought, paced and thought, building on his idea. It all began to make sense. Yes...it would be risky, but RAF could take the risk. Richard could take the risk.
"Ding-dong! One new message from Claire!" His holograph PM box said cheerfully. He quickly strode over to it, and opened the newest one.
Richard:
We've found them! They are all unharmed. Horsie saw me, and told me their situation. Everyone is there fine, but Queen can use telekenises now, so that's how their trapped. Unfortunately, Cloaky has snapped. I suppose, being a Realm Walker, he feels even more trapped. Horse said that Queen, Aloth, and Yorick are gone, but that creep, Snake, who is really Cloaky's evil sister named Dagger, is still there. We're going in. See you later, and hopefully with everyone else!
Claire
Richard deleted the message with a sigh. "They could have asked me," he murmured, then wrote a response.
Claire:
I agree that it's best that you left that way. I hope that you have a good plan, because with Dagger, being Cloaky's sister, she's a Realm Walker, and thusly quite powerful. Don't take any more risks than you have to. Good luck. I did what you requested in the first message. If they're still trapped, that means that there must be some way that their powers are shut off. I would suggest activating their powers again, then having them help you overcome Dagger. If you've got her, then I'll send a party of RAFians to help you for when Queen, Yorick, and Aloth come back. Good luck,
Richard.
Claire looked up from her PM reciever, her mobile one. She and Richard had one, and more were being made for the other mods. "Rich got my messages," she said to the other mods. "He told us to activate their powers again, wich is a good idea. I'll tell you the rest later. Let's go."
They began to creep up the rocks, Esplin leading the way, attempting to silence the sound of his hooves against rock. He had one stalk eye scope out the room. He turned his head back, keeping his stalk eyes on the room, and nodded at them. Russell vanished into the cave.
Claire followed. Gaping at them, was all of the kidnapped people. Claire went farther into the cave as Goom scrambled up beside her. "Shhh," she said, glancing around. "Where's Dagger?"
"D-deeper in the cave," whispered Cloaky, still shocked.
"The arrows," whispered Blocky. "The arrows shut off our powers."
Phoenix walked over and had grabbed Gaz's arrow, when a cold voice said, "Oh. We seem to have guests."
Gaz whipped her head around as Queen came striding back in, Aloth and Yorick close behind. All the mods straightened up, except for Phoenix, who walked over to Cloaky, and was about to pull out his arrow, when his hand froze in midair. Gaz groaned. Queen was smiling, and holding her hand out. "Telekenises, Phoenix. You can't get by it."
To Gaz's surprise, a look of intense concentration, and suddenly, Phoenix was able to move his hand again. Queen looked shocked.
"WHAT?! She shrieked. "HOW?! YOU!! You, you, you mangy..." Queen tried again. And, again, Phoenix broke free.
Emboldened by their success, Gaz strained and pulled as hard as she could against ber bonds. Nothing. Everyone else tried, too. Nothing. Suddenly, Guy came up with the answer.
"They're mods!" He yelled. "They can do things we can't!" Queen looked furious, but had no time, because Russell came towards her, arching his tail dangerously. Claire ran over to Gaz, grabbed her shoulders, and pulled. Gaz, after a moment, came popping up from the floor. She stumbled, it being the first time she had stood up in a while. Claire pushed her towards the entrance. "Run!" She commanded. "Get out of here!" Gaz hesitated, looking back at Mr. Guy. He stared back at her.
"Go!" He yelled. "I'll see you later!"
Stumbling down the rocks, Gaz began to run. It started to rain again. As she sprinted across the fields, tripping and gasping for breath, the rain mixed with Gaz's tears.
-
Whooo! Go mody-power-ness!
-
I'm free! But...oh no! Sadness. :'(
Love the new part!
-
I get my Gazzy back!!! \o/ Now we just need everyone else.
-
YAY! Epic Mod fight coming up!?
-
I love the last two chapters Horsie! I sound really badass now! 8)
-
Yes, Horse is really good at making people sound more badass then they really are
-
I'll remember that the next time she says something nice about you Blue. :P
-
Lol. Nice, Phoenix. Still in a writing mood, so what happens after Gaz's escape is revealed soon.
BTW, Gaz, you're all sad like because everyone is still trapped and you're like "Oh noes! I abandoned them. Sadness."
And it sounds more dramatic that way. :P
-
Woot!! This is so cool!
-
I'll remember that the next time she says something nice about you Blue. :P
lol i was joking. besides, being a mod automatically makes you badass
-
That are some great stuff!!!!
-
cool
-
Here's the rest of our mods rescue session.
Chapter Twelve
Morfowt was on gaurd duty when a lone figure came into sight through this newest batch of rain. It was running really fast, and tripping a lot...didn't appear to be armed either. Even so, he called Jess across to him.
"What do you see," he said, pointing out to the gloom. "out there?"
Jess frowned. "Dunno." She rummaged in the pack she had nearby, and pulled out a pair of binoculars. After a moment, Jess slowly lowered them from her face. She looked shocked. Morf said, "Well? What is it?"
"It's...I don't believe it." Stammered Jess. "It's...no, it can't be." She looked at it again through the binnoculars. She said, "It really is. I don't believe it! Oh my God!"
By now, Morf was almost jumping out of his skin. "For heaven's sake, WHAT IS IT?!"
"It's Gaz." Said Jess. Morfowt stared at her. "It really is!" She said. "You look." Jess handed Morf the binnocualrs. He carefully examined the oncoming person.
"You're right," he said, stunned. "Come on! We've got to tell everybody!"
Stalker was walking in the shelter of the walls, thinking about Gaz. Was she alright? Were the mods there? Was everybody else with her? Where was she? What did Queen want with her?
Her troubled thoughts were interupted by Jess, who skidded by her, slipping on the wet grass from the rain. Jess slipped to a stop. "Stalker!" She said, smiling at her. "Go open the gate. There's someone there who wants to see you."
Baffled, Stalker walked over to the gate. Was it the mods? But why would they ask for her? And who else would want to see her? She began to unlock the gate, now a huge process from both sides of the wall, because after the Snake episode, there was a huge upgrade on the gate. New members wouldn't be allowed to go through, because of the new system. First, Stalker punched in a five digit code. "Bing! Code Accepted." The computer on the gate said. Next, she scanned her hand. "Bing! Handprint Accepted." Then, one more three digit code, "Bing! Code Accepted." and finaly an old fashioned latch. After all of that, Stalker opened the gate.
Jamie stared at Gaz. Gaz was drenched, covered in mud, and panting. At the sight of Stalker, however, she got a huge smile on her face. "Jamie!!" Stalker was stunned. "G...Gaz? Is...is it really you?"
Gaz smile gt even wider. She opened her arms. "The one and only."
Jamie gave a weak smile. She hugged Gaz, despite the rain, then took her shoulders and led her inside. "C'mon," Stalker said. "Let's get you cleaned up."
Going backwards in time a little, Claire whipped around after making sure Gaz was safe. Esplin was fighting Queen, though most of what she was doing was dodging and freezing him momentarily. Claire ran over to Blocky and pulled him up, though instead of stumbling like Gaz, what he did was shoot straight up in the air, and dive bombed Aloth, who was trying to kill Goom. Aloth gave a screech of pain as Blocky's claws scored across his face. Aloth retreated, but came back,
waving his arrow that he was using as a sword. But together, Goom and Blocky fended him off. Goom could have done it by himself...but he didn't have arms.
Claire ran up to Cloaky, but a pulse of energy drove her back. She whipped around to see Dagger advancing, whipping up the rock from the ground and making it swirl dangerously around her head. Dagger began to fire the rocks at Claire, who jumped to the side and did a somersault. Phoenix jumped up from behind her, and pulled out his sword. "I prefer classic to modern," he said as he approached Dagger. She grinned wickedly and pulled out her own sword. "Fine! Classic it is then!" The two began to duel, because Phoenix is so awesome he can duel.
Claire glanced around. That left Yorick. He was nowhere in sight. She ran towards Cloaky once more, but this time had to dive forward to dodge a sword swing from Dagger that Phoenix had dodged as well. She ended up next to Duff, who she grabbed and pulled up as well. "We're enough here without you, run!" She yelled, before running back to Cloaky. All her efforts seemed doomed to failure, however, because suddenly pain ripped down her back, and she staggered.
Turning around, Claire saw Yorick with a sword, already bloody. With a gasp, Claire realized it was her blood. Yorick had slashed her deeply in the back. He came, swinging, again, and Claire whipped out her handheld Shredder beam. She shot Yorick in the hand, which, big surprise, caused him to drop his sword, she picked it up and slashed him on the shoulder. He yelled in pain and scrambled away. Claire lost sight of him in the battle.
Finally, Queen had enough. "That's enough!" she screamed, and shot both her hands forward. Everyone, except Yorick, Aloth, Dagger, Guy, Cloaky, Horsie, and Faerie went flying out of the cave, and bumping down the rocks. Which, naturally, resulted in many of them hitting their heads on rocks, and passing out. All except for Phoenix, who peeled his head of the grass and mumbled, "Ouch."
Phoenix got up immediately, and, though he hurt a lot, he piled everyone up on Blocky's back and somehow dragged Blocky across the wet plains, which made it easier.
Yorick scrambled out from the depths of the cave. He crept out and stood beside Queen, with Aloth on Queen's other side. He watched them retreating. "Shall we go after them?" He asked. "The mods will make a nice addition to our little collection."
Queen shook her head. "Let them go," she said, her eyes dark with anger. "By the time we get down there, and in the rain it will be a lot slower than their route, some of them would have woken up. And it would be easier for them in the open area. We'll let them go home. For once."
-
awesme!!
-
I'm so awesome I can duel! XD
Thanks Horsie! Nice chapter! +1
-
lol
-
Sick chapter! Pheonix rules! En Garde!
-
Might wanna fix one part. If this is RAFworld, it seems a bit random that Gaz call me Jamie instead of Stalker.
Otherwise: Gazzy! *happiness* Poor Cloaky, looks like he'll never be free.
-
Yeah, his emotions are constantly being toyed with.
"I can free us!
No I can't.
All hope is lost!
We're SAVED!
I'm lost!"
-
NO! U still didnt save all of them. oh well, at least u got Blocky out
-
heh
he dragged a 2000 pound dragon about 5 miles
-
That's the power of The Phoenix!
-
Yup. Phoenix is awesome. I did have him drag you because he was a mod, and everyone else was unconscious.
-
Love the new part!
-
I just had a lovely mental image of a dragon holding on to a phoenix's tail feathers by its claws. (Can you tell I like the Chamber of Secrets book? =P) Anyway, haha. Love the updates. You've seemed to capture RAF's community spirit and care really well!
-
Yup. Phoenix is awesome. I did have him drag you because he was a mod, and everyone else was unconscious.
Have I mentioned that I love this fic? 8)
-
Lol. Well, all you mods are awesome. And, no, Blue, I'm not making Phoenix sound better than he is. ;DOh, I just plotted out an epic scene...
BUT IT'S FOR THE NEXT BOOK. GAH.
Sooooo...hopefully I'll write this one faster so I can get to the next one and do my epic scene! :)
-
Can't wait! This story is so dang awesome.
The next part will be worth the wait! It is all worth the wait. ;D
-
:hyper: Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
But take your time.

-
*curses* My computer becomes a piece of junk, and I miss so much. Horse, just a bit of clarification, Dagger isn't an Element Master. . . . She only possesses the innate energy wielding abilities of every Realm Walker. There are only three known Element Masters -- Sage (my grandfather), my niece, and myself. There may have been more, but records of such have been lost to the ages.
Then again, we're not nearly as populous as humans.

:hyper: Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

i fully agree with this. But take some more time.
-
I planned on having Dagger only having partial control over some elements, not all of them.
-
HORSIE
AWESOME
THE END
-
NOOO DON'T END!
-
Lol. Don't worry Spartan, after the end will be another beginning.
-
Lol. Don't worry Spartan, after the end will be another beginning.
I sense a foreshadow ;D
-
Yee-haw!
-
Awesome.
-
I know that there's a really painful cliffhanger, I'll get the next chap up soon as possible, but enjoy this one!
Chapter Thirteen
The news of the half successful, half failing mod rescue plan had been announced. Blocky, Duff, and Gaz, were welcome back gratefully. They were very happy to be home, and everyone was very happy to see them, but it still was slightly grim. Even the mods, all of them, though they were split up, were banished by Queen's power. Soon after, the mods and Richard retreated to Richards thread, which happened to be throughly soundproofed.
Inside, Richard's thread, the mods were discussing Richard's idea. "It's risky, Richard," pointed out Esplin
"Risks need to be taken to end this," said Richard. "It's a risk for all of us, not just me. Sure, I might be knocked around a little, but the rest of you might get discovered and ambushed."
Claire nodded. "Sounds like an idea to me. Who do you want to take?"
Richard thought a moment. "Hmm. All of you, Estelore..."
While Richard and the mods were discussing their plan. Queen crept by the wall. At night, in the rain, in a black dress and being black herself, Queen blended in perfectly. She slunk around, searching, running her hands carefully over the wall, looking for something. Her hand hit something, a small ridge in the wall. Queen smiled, and ran her hand along the ridge, finding the corner. She pulled a tiny light out of her pocket and shined it on the wall. Queen examined her find. "Yes, she whispered. This is it."
Queen longed to go through with her plan right away, but she knew that would be impossible. She needed backup. Queen switched off the light and crept away.
Poparena sighed. "Can't you trust me?" He asked Wildweathel, who hovered by his side. Weathel shook his head. "I'm sorry, but no. All new members instantly fall under suspicion, because of Snake. I'm really sorry about this, it's a safety measure. I feel your pain."
Arena sighed again. "I'm going to go practice. I suppose you'll be coming with me." Weathel nodded.
"Yes," he said. "Actually, I have to go practice too."
The pair made their way to the practice room. They found Blocky and Blue, doggedly sparring with each other. Both were coming along well. Goom was observing, and calling out advice. The pair stopped when Arena and Wild entered. Blue walked over to Arena.
"Hi," he said. "You must be Poparena! I'm Blue. Welcome to the forum." Blue extended his hand, and Arena shook it. "Nice to meet you too," he said. "I've heard about your problems with this 'Queen' character."
Blocky nodded, his face grim. "I know how it feels to be stuck in there, and I don't want anyone else to go through that. We've gotta get them out of there. I'm Blocky, by the way."
Arena nodded. Wild pulled out a Dracon beam. "Let's start you out on dummies," he said. "Goom?" Goom, who was manning the computer, nodded, and a few dummies popped up from the ground. "Let's get started," said Poparena, and raised his Dracon beam.
Faerie couldn't believe it. Inches from freedom, and she was still there. She noted that Queen had tactfully placed them so that rain blew through the doorway and soaked them. Seal enjoyed it, and it was a good way to get a drink, but it was very bothersome, being soaked all the time.
Queen was up to something. Faerie could tell. She had changed out of her dress into a black t-shirt and pants, and that seemed to allow her to pace better. She paced very often, deep in thought, and one night she had left the cave and went out in the direction of RAF. Faerie knew that they had to get out of here soon.
Cloaky seemed to have gained back some of his heart. Maybe getting slapped in the face with cold rain every day had brought him to his senses, and he had gone back to trying to get the arrow out. He went at it from a different angle then before. Still no luck.
Everyone else tried to. Seal's was on her back, Guy's was in his leg, and Faerie's was in her hip, so only Cloaky was able to reach his.
"Almost...got it..." muttered Cloaky, stretching down again. Seal opened her mouth to the sky and gulped down some water.
"At least we get a drink," she said. "But what about getting something to eat? I'm starving. And, in a couple more days, I think we'll literally be starving to death. I know seals are accustomed to smaller diets, but even so..."
"I hope Blocky, Gaz, and Duff are doing well," murmured Faerie, trying in vain to ignore her rumbling stomach. Even Cloaky seemed affected.
"I get my teeth on it," he said, sitting back up. "But I can't get it out. Having no food is taking it's toll.
A couple of hours later, Cloaky let out a triumphant shout, muffled by the arrow in his teeth. "I got it!"
"NO!!" Horsie suddenly shrieked. "DON'T!!! STOP!!!"
Faerie stared at her. Was Horse insane? Well, she was but, was she...oh, you know what I mean. "Horsie, what? It's a GOOD thing if he get's it out!"
"No, it's not!" Said Horse, slightly panicking. "Remember? His hood is down! He'd incinerate us!"
Faerie moaned, and laid her head against the rocks. "Oh, crap! I forgot about that! Now what?"
Yorick sat up nervously as Queen poked her head into his "room." She nodded. "It's time. Let's go."
-
Yes, that's one of the drawbacks about being a Realm Walker in-universe. Though it can be advantageous at some times. Excellent, Horse.
-
Meh I can't be beating anybody in anything these days
-
Perk up, Block! We all have our moments of weakness!
-
Nice work, Horsie!
You're really hitting the characters perfectly. I approve :P
-
Awesome chapter Horsie! What ever is on Queenies mind, now?
-
Meh I can't be beating anybody in anything these days
ouch! now I feel bad for the BattleDome Beatdown that Demos gave you
-
Aw, poor blocky, getting whooped wherever he goes. :D
this new chapter is great
-
Nonsense, Blocky. When did I ever say that? Cloaky has been captured. And now you're free to kick butt. Cheer up!
-
yaayyyyyy!!!!!!! ;D
-
This is becoming too good! Mesa likes this chapter. You should become an author Seal!
-
age restriction
but a good idea
-
Age restriction? On what?
-
i am confused too. Wait. No I'm not.
age restriction
but a good idea
It's a very good idea but yes. What is it another 7 years before it's possible?
-
yeah she has to be 18-up
-
Well, it's a good idea anyways. ;D
-
She can be an author now. She just has to wait a while before anythings published...if that makes any sense. She's already better than most kids her age from what I can tell.
-
better than me, I think
-
Awwww...you're making me blush! Thank you all! :) :) :)
I'm sure that I'm not all that you crack me up to be.
-
of corse you are. Most of the time I'm too lazy to post. even more so if I have to think to do so. I think I've posted for about every chapter. so obviously you must be a awesome as we say you are
-
Yeah, Horsie. Why would we lie about something as important as awesomeness?
-
You have insane potential as an author!
-
You have insane potential as an author!
I second this.
She can be an author now. She just has to wait a while before anythings published...if that makes any sense. She's already better than most kids her age from what I can tell.
IIRC there is an age limit. I think she would have to keep the money in a ban until she's 18, or something to that extent.
-
I wasn't even thinking about the money. I was just thinking it would be cool to be a published author.
-
It would be cool. I dunno. In whatever grade, I think we write a small book, so...yeah! It'll be fun! I like writing.
-
I think were getting a little of track, remember about the challange at hand young seal!
-
I think were getting a little off track, remember about the challange at hand young seal!
i agrees.
-
Well...I had a whole chapter typed up, BUT IT DIDN'T SAVE. And now, I'm like, never in a writing mood...so it might be a while. Sorry. :-\
-
:explode:
-
Awww. That's okay, Horsie. You'll get around to it. Right? RIGHT?!
-
*runs away from moseying Faerie* YES!! YES! I WILL! ;D
-
Yay for writing.
-
Well...I had a whole chapter typed up, BUT IT DIDN'T SAVE. And now, I'm like, never in a writing mood...so it might be a while. Sorry. :-\
I feel your pain, I've done that before and it completely kills any inspiration you have to write. Don't worry, it'll pass.
-
*runs away from moseying Faerie* YES!! YES! I WILL! ;D
Hahaha. Awesome.
-
No rush Seal!
-
Rush Sealy, rush.
j/k!
Can you at least remember the premise of what you previously wrote?
-
I can, but life is so freakin BUSY. I'm trying the best I can, it should be up soon.
-
Yay!
-
Take your time! Don't hurry! Go slower!
-
Lol. I'm trying, I'm trying...maybe this week. I hope.
-
good good, muhhahahaha! >:D
-
This week? Ok.
-
Awesome :D
I approve.
-
*gets writing mood back*
Chapter Thirteen
The news of the half successful, half failing mod rescue plan had been announced. Blocky, Duff, and Gaz, were

While Richard and the mods were discussing their plan. Queen crept by the wall. At night, in the rain, in a black dress and being black herself, Queen blended in perfectly. She slunk around, searching, running her hands carefully over the wall, looking for something. Her hand hit something, a small ridge in the wall. Queen smiled, and ran her hand along the ridge, finding the corner. She pushed on it gently, and heard the creak of timbers. When a suspicious voice called out from the wall, "Who was that?" She froze. There was a patter of feet. "Nothing," She relaxed. She pushed her way through the bushes when the wind swept through them, masking the rustling, and she tugged the branches firmly over her find. She stalked away, glancing back over her shoulder and smiling. "Soon, RAF shall be mine," she whispered, and fled to the hills.
Estelore, Blocky, Duff, TobSie, Think, Wild, Alic, estrid, Terenia, Gaz, Stalker, and all the mods were sitting at the table in Richards thread, which was completely soundproofed. Richard stood up. "I know you're all curious, but I have a plan to stop Queen."
Gaz looked up. "The sooner we stop her, the better," she said. Think nodded. "Definetily." "Hopefully, we won't have the problem of her anymore." said Wild. Richard looked around approvingly. "That's the spirit."
Blocky, who had been silent so far, spoke up. "Yeah, I'm ready to completely kick Queen's butt." He flexed his claws, seeming to imagine them tearing into Queen's flesh. "She'll never know what's hit her."
Richard smiled at his RAFians. "That's the spirit. But, it's risky, and dangerous. Do--"
Alic raised her hand impatiently. "Richard, we don't give a care. We wan't our friends back, and to kick Queen's butt."
Richard smiled again. "Fine. Fine. Here's the plan. We all travel out to Queen's cave, and then--"
Shreeeeeeeee-whump-BOOOM.
Before anyone had time to think, screams filled the air, and a flurry of activety went on outside. The mods were out of their chairs and out the door before they fully realized what was happening, and the others followed. Richard remained in the room, observing something no one else noticed. He had a PM, from...what?! From QUEEN?!
He prodded the screen quickly, opening the PM.
Richard.
I might be gone from RAF, but before I left, I left a little surprise. Don't worry...everyone will be okay.
As long as you get out here. Now.
Richard stared at the screen. "I left a little surprise..." Oh, crap. Richard believed he knew exactly what he was talking about. Could she have found it?
Richard then groaned alound and nearly sprinted for the door. Of course. The blueprints that went missing so long ago...she must have stolen them! Oh, this was not good.
Queen laughed like a maniac. "Again, again!" She shrieked, nearly bursting with laughter. The energy cannon worked perfectly.
Sheeeeeeeeeee-whump-BOOOM.
"Keep firing!" She shrieked at Aloth. "Drive them all to hell!"
*not part of story* Yes. Shreee-whump-BOOOOM. ;D
-
awesome!!!!
-
Fun stuff! A real batte! Again!
-
Yikes!
Great part, Horsie! Love it!

We do tend to play off of each other well. :)
-
Excellent, Horse. Though I am curious about how the we, those of us at the cave, get out of the predicament . . . sometimes that cloak thing can be a real liability. ;) . . . Or did I miss something -- it's easy to do with sporadic internet access.
-
Yeah, I'm wondering, if we RAFians were so bold enough to face down a horde of baddies earlier, what made us freak out and run screaming this time?
-
Yeah. Why is everyone scared? i think i know
-
Um

Hey, as long as it's a realistic reason, I have no problem. Though to clarify, I wouldn't be among the screaming. Gotta keep up an image. ;)

Ready for the wall-o-text?
Chapter Fourteen
After Queen, Yorick, Aloth, and Dagger left, Faerie, Horse, Guy, and Cloaky talked about what they thought the banneds were doing.
"Recruiting, maybe?" Said Horse.
"Scouting around RAF?" offered Guy.
"Out collecting stuff for the arrows?" Said Faerie.
"That's not it, and you know it." Growled Cloak. "They've gone to attack RAF."
Dead silence met his words. Each turned to each other, and suddenly knew it was true. They left with weapons. All of them left. They didn't leave behind anything to guard them. Suddenly, Faeries' eyes shone with determination. "We must help them, and find a way out of here!" She said, standing up with determination.
Standing up.
The prisoners stared at her. "What?" She demanded. "What's so weird about standing?! Wait...OH MY GOD I'M STANDING."
Guy stood up shakily. "We...we're free."
Horse hopped down from the rock and arched her spine sharply. She plucked the arrow out and teleported a few times to warm herself up.
Cloaky stood up, and put his hood up. Then, he plucked the arrow out of him and sent a few blasts of power out the cave door, and teleported a few times, like Seal. Then he said. "I just realized...the only way Queen's telekenieses bonds woudl break...would be her using massive amounts of energy somewhere else. That means..."
Faerie gasped. "That means she's attacking RAF!"
Cloaky grabbed Guy and Faerie. "Horse, teleport back to RAF, I'll meet you there!"
BRAD the BRIT ducked behind the wall, then popped up and loosed another British Beam at the crowd. Terenia ran up to him and fired a Dracon beam at on of Queen's recruits.
Shreeeeeeee-whum-BOOOOM.
"Look out!"
Brad whipped around to see anotehr energy ball smash into the wall. "Oh no! A breach!" "Hold them off!" "We need more RAFians over here!" "Get them back!"
Brad sprinted down the steps and ran over to them. Demos joined him, and they ran across. "Use your British Beam when we get close enough!" Yelled demos, who whipped out his sword and sent flames down it. Demos charged ahead of Brad, and jumped amongst the group, facing one of Queen's recruits, a girl with two swords. She slashed downwards with one sword and swiped sidewas at his legs with the other. Demos raised his sword and blocked hers, jumping over the other one. In midair, he twisted the sword around quickly, and shoved it aside, thrusting at her stomach.
Brad lost sight of him as another recruit came up, this one holding a dracon beam. Brad gritted his teeth. Back for a little bit...and this happens?
Blocky circled above the group, flapping his wings powerfully. He grinned happily. Troops were trying to flow into the gap made by Queen's energy cannon. He dive-bombed into the back. Troops turned and faced him, drawing swords, Dracon beams, and Shredders. One person, a general, he assumed, waved them back, and yelled "Get through the wall!" Many troops stayed by his side though.
The general came at him first, swinging a two handed sword skillfully. Blocky lunged forward and swiped at him with one claw, scoring huge marks down the general's hand, and making him drop the sword. The general gave a yelp and skittered backwards, yelling "I need more troops!"
Three more guys approached him, 2 weilding Dracons and one with another two hander. The dracon guys dashed around him, starting to shoot at his back, but he swept his tail around, tripping them, then he whirled around and grabbed one guy by his leg, grabbed the other guy with his hand, and chucked them away. The guy with the two-hander had stabbed him in the back, and was trying to dig through his scales. Blocky turned around again, but the two-hander was stuck in his back, and the guy refused to let go. Blocky stopped, and felt the guy climbing up his back. The dragon dropped to the ground and rolled, crushing the guy beneath him. He felt sick as he heard the crunch, but he jumped back into the fray.
The general ran towards him with two more guys. One was double wielding two short swords, and the other had a Shredder. The Shredder guy started firing at his eyes. Block raised a paw to shelter then, then felt the double wielder stab him in the stomach. The dragon swiped out his hand, relying on his senses, and clawed the Shredder guy. The Shredder went skidding across the ground, and he jumped on it and crushed it. Blocky then lunged at the doubled weilder and snapped at him, almost biting him, but not quite. Then he roared. That was it. The double wielder screamed like an infant and ran.
The general glanced around, suddenly alone. Then, 10 other troops rushed in. He laughed and charged. First, Blocky slashed his claws across 2 of them, and they dropped. He tossed them away. Then he whirled around and spiked three others with his tail. They went flying away.
The other 5 plus the general had climbed up onto his back, doggedly going up to his head. When he dropped and rolled to try and crush them, they ducked beneath his spines, and clung on. Blocky froze. Then he gave himself a huge shake, and reached over as if scratching his back. They dropped off like flies, and he threw them away. The general staggered to his feet, but Blocky, wincing with guilt, brought one paw crashing down upon his head. The general was dead before he knew what hit him.
Blue ducked, then slashed, and sent a shoot of ice down his blade. The person he was fighting got frozen in a sheet of ice, and Blue slashed at him one last time. Then he ran on. Then he saw Yorick. The backstabbing little scumbag was creeping up on Terenia, fighting nearby, and was almost upon her with his sword. With a yell of fury, Blue dove towards him, but a weight landed on his back. A scrawny little girl weilding a dagger was on top of him! The blade glinted unnaturally, and Blue shivered inwardly--poison. He thrust her off and slashed at her. He felt a pang. This was only a kid! "Go home!" he hissed. "You don't belong in this fight." She crept off and dissapeared.
Blue fought off three other guys, but the numbers started to overwhelm him. He was fighting off five guys at once, but while he was fighting three, the other two pushed him down. As soon as Blue was on the ground, he knew that he was done. Other RAFians were starting to fall, too. Blue surged upwards and knocked them back. He saw Gaz stagger under three people, she was still weak from her capture. He ran over and slashed two off. Gaz looked at him gratefully before running back into the fray. He felt something pounce on him behind. There was a guy weilding a Dracon on him. He felt metal press against his head, and heard the mechanical things **** as he started to pull the trigger...
And the weight slipped off of him. He saw the guy unconcious...and there was Seal behind him, holding a 2 by 4. She had beat the guy off of him. "No messing with my RAFbro." She said.

YAY! I kick ass!

NICE CHAP SEAL
British Karma Beam ~~~~~~~~~~>

Great new part!
-
Cool battle scene!
-
Cool battle scene!
Correction: amazing battle scene!!!!! ;D
-
great chapter! The beginning was very amusing ;D
-
Ah man, awesome battle scene! You wrote that quite well.
-
Excellent, Horse. How'd I get my cloak back? Or did I skim over that part?
-
Oh, you always had your Cloak on, your hood was just down. So, even with the hood down, wouldn't that incinerate everyone? Or have I been a deluded person and made a mistake?
-
Ah, true. But it is not as effective as completely discloaking.
-
Lol, still enough to melt everyone in the general vicinity of you?
-
More like atomizing dispersal. And yes, but just not at the usual speed, and the power is reduced somewhat.
-
.... Cloaky you rule... i always have a laugh when you explain stuff about your RAFself... +1 on a wim.. ;D
P.S Seal i hope your writeing *cracks whip* ::)
-
Lol, yes, I am. Almost done with section one....not that it's divided into definite sections.
-
cool, and I like the idea of me fighting another dragon
-
:facepalm:
Aidan...that was a spoiler. I've only told you. :P
Lol, doesn't really matter, though. I think you're fighting the dragon in chapter 15, I want to introduce SageKiller and put more of Brad in. I also want to put in more Wild.
-
*cough*and more blue*cough*
-
::)
Yeah, yeah, whatever. :P
Ugh. Coming so....slowly...
-
*cough*and more blue*cough*
you used to be all excited about this and then it just stopped
-
Used to be all excited about what?
-
about writing
-
I'm sure she still is, aren't you Seal?
-
Of course I am! Not when my story is so popular. :)
-
Sorry to double post, but Chapter Fifteen is done.
Chapter Fifteen.
Blue gawked up at Seal. "Wha...Horsie! You--You escaped!"
Seal grinned. "Hey Blue. Happy to see you too. Now, are we going to stand around being soppy all day, or are we going to go kick some butt?"
Blue laughed. A shadow circled overhead, searching for another target. "Blocky!" Blue yelled up to him. "Come down here! We'll make a good team, the ice and water people."
Blocky flapped down, clearing a space for himself by just being there. Having a dragon plummet from the sky is a rather frightening thought. He hovered down, then dropped the last few feet, staring at Horse. "What...Horsie! You--You escaped."
Seal grinned. "Hey Blocky. Happy to see you too. Now, are we going to stand around being soppy all day, or are we going to go kick some butt?"
Blue rolled his eyes. "Wow. Deja Vu much? Anyway..."
Pheonix appeared, holding his side. There was blood seeping from his fingers, but other than that he seemed fine, and there was a determined light in his eyes. "Blocky!" He yelled. "They got a dragon, somehow. We're trying to hold it off, but we need your help. The mods are working at the breaches. Over by the south wall." Phoenix flicked his hand to clear it from blood, pulled out his sword again, and ran back to a breach in the wall.
Blocky nodded to Blue and Horse, said "good luck," and flew over to the south wall, where a dragon was trying to break through. Horse turned back to Blue. "Well, guess we're on our own. Behind you!"
Blue whirled around to see a Shredder-weilder aiming at his head. He instantly dropped to his hands and swung one leg out, sweeping the other guy's legs from beneath him and then elbowing him in the face as he dropped. Blue then tossed him in the air, caught him, froze him, and threw him away. Horse attacked a Dracon weilder. First she had stabbed his Dracon hand with an icicle, headbutted him in his legs, made him fall over, then washed him away on a wave.
Seal dove on top of another guy's head and knocked him over, and Blue disarmed him and elbowed him in the face, knocking him out. Seal nodded. "Good work!" She called, and they turned to face another.
SageKiller flicked her Shredder level to stun and pulsed a beam, dropping one more, then Goom appeared. "Sage!" he called, jumping on a piece of debris from a wall so she could see him better. "Yarin and Guy are going to try and fire up the old defense mainframe, and they need a guard. Not saying they can't take care of themselves, but just someone to watch their back, you up to it?"
Sage sared at him. "Guy? He's back?" Goom nodded. "And...the old defense mainframe? Are you sure that bucket of bolts will work? It's from RAFclassic, before we moved here! We just took them with us so we didn't have to buy a new one somewhere. Are you sure it'll work?"
Goom shook his head. "No, we're not sure, but we have to try. We're hard pressed, and a few turrets to take down that energy cannon--"
Shreeeeeeeee-whump-BOOOM
"Is just what we need."
Sage nodded. "I'll do what I can." Goom nodded to where Guy and Yarin were battling over to the control room. She jumped over to them and started beaming people out of the way. "C'mon!" She yelled. "This could mean the difference in this war!"
Faerie ducked, slashed, and thrust, dispatching another minion. They just kept coming...and coming. There was no time to think. Just fight.
She flew above a group of them, and dove down upon one. She caught him with her feet, knocked him to the ground and stabbed. Pain ripped through her wing from behind as yet another caught it with a sword. Faerie spiraled upwards slightly uneven, then swept one leg elegently through the air and smacked the guy's head. She used that leg to give her momentum and keep her spinning, and decapitated one more person.
Larka landed gently and looked around. They seemed to be winning...but it was so hard to tell. She dodged a Shredder from behind and started on the attack again.
Richard pushed into the courtyard to find it full of fighting. Not unexpected. He stepped forward quickly, and conjured three energy spheres, (Author's note: Hey, he's Richard. He can do that.) and launched them at three people. The three people fell, and he stepped forward to conjure more when there was a buzzing of energy by his head, and Queen's voice hissed in his ear, "You move and you die, Richard."
Richard stopped and smiled slowly. "Queen. Good to see you too. You've learned to convert your telekenieses into physical energy, I see. Well done."
"Quit trying to talk me to death," snarled Queen. "I've got you. And you never knew."
"How did you get in?" Asked Richard. "Would you grant me the honor of knowing?"
"Figure it out."
"Ah...the side door, I assume. The one I had sealed off."
"Yes," said Queen exultantly. "Just before I was banned, I unsealed it. And you never knew."
"Very clever," said Richard slowly. "I commend you, Queen. I never thought of checking the door."
"Of course you didn't," she whispered, her voice trembling with excitement. "Because I outsmarted, overpowered, and in the end, got you. And now, I'm going to ram this energy ball down your thro-"
Queen never finished her sentance. Faster than she could blink, Richard had neatly ducked unter the arm holding the energy ball to his head, sidestepped behind her, elbowed her sharply in the back, which knocked her down, put one foot on her back, and roughly shoved her through the mud left from the rain.
"Never pause to gloat," he reprimanded, as if it was a mere sparring session. "It gives your enemy time for a plan. And if they have a plan, they can win."
Queen scrambled to her feet, spitting curses and mud, and started conjuring again. Richard conjured one too and knocked it backwards. "Faster," he said. "Your enemy can't have time--"
"I know!" She screamed. "I know Richard! Shut up!"
Richard smiled serenley and let her get to her feet. "Are you ready now?" He asked. "I'm not holding back now, Queen. You're going to have to do a lot better..."

Chapter Sixteen
Faerie laughed at the pitiful aim of a minion, but paid for her laughter by a burn on her shoulder. She gritted her teeth and swiped her sword at the attacker, giving it a deep cut on the ribs. She then used her other hand, slammed an uppercut on his chin and shoved him away. Who said you needed swords all the time?
Then she saw the archers. Five or six of them were standing on top of the crumbling walls and firing down onto the RAFians below. Jess got hit in the stomach by one, Morf took one to the leg, and Think got shot in the arm. Other RAfians got hit too. Faerie flew up, after dispatching another minion, and flew over to them. She landed on the wall next to one. "Hello," she said cheefully, laughing inwardly at the stunned face looking back. "Fine day, isn't it? Do you think it will rain tomorrow? Because I really don't like rain."
She jumped neatly over the dagger swung at her. "Temper," she chided. "Some people don't like being stabbed. Whoops! Missed again." Then Faerie fluttered off the wall and shouldered the archer off the wall. "Look out below," she called, grabbing the bow, snapping it, then letting go and letting the archer fall.
The next archer nocked an arrow to her bow, and stared as the string was string was sliced in half. "Careful" said Faerie. "That could hurt somebody." And down went the archer.
Blocky circled above the crowd. The dragon wasn't hard to miss. She was rampaging around the south wall, where the energy cannons couldn't hit, knocking down the walls. However, thanks to Shock, Evilpinkdragon and himself, the walls were fairly tall and firm. Didn't want want them to be knocked down when they leaned against it.
He landed softly behind her. There weren't many weak spots on a dragon, the best thing to do was to find one place and attack it continually. He fluttered up, and dove down, digging his claws feircly onto the centeral point on her back, left side of the spines.
She jumped and let out a roar of surprise, then rolled and dislodged him from her back. "Another dragon?" She hissed, flexing her claws. "Good! It's been just toooo easy so far."
"It won't be easy now," retorted Blocky, jumping over her and smashing his spiked tail into her back where he had started weakening the scales. She grabbed his tail and yanked, flew up and smashed her feet into his back, clawing, so that he tumbled to the ground.
The ice dragon lay there for a second, dazed. He hadn't expected this from a from a gi--well, never mind that. She was leaping up again. He waited until she was almost on his back, then rolled, jumped, and latched onto her back with his claws again. She tried to roll and knock him off again, but her let go and flew up, planning to latch on again, but she sprang up, clawed at his eyes, making him sheild them, and flew around his back and clawed him to the ground again.
He hit the ground, ready this time, and sprang right back up, whipping neatly around and clawing out more of her scales. She whirled around and twisted in midair, bringing her tail, with no spikes, bashing into his stomach like a club, making him double up in midair. She then went to his back and clawed savagely. No! She couldn't be beating him.
Blocky dove to the ground and rolled, springing back up quickly and confusing her, and bashind his hind legs into her back, smashing her to the ground. He dove after and clawed out more scales. None of them had really hurt each other, but...
Pain seared in his side and he clapped a claw to it, and pulled out an arrow. An arrow. Dripping with venom. This venom was a special type, very rare, found only in the bleakest parts of the internet, coming from the fangs of a dragonviper. It was one of the only things that could melt dragon scales. Figures.
An archer was standing and shooting up at him. The arrows were fairly wide-tipped. Soon a few more archers joined them.
"Yorick!" Roared Blocky as the redheaded boy ran up with a bow. His face was flushed with excitement, and his sword was missing. But he fired up at Blocky all the same. With a jolt, he realized their aim had changed. Up to his head. So had the other dragon's aim. She clawed feircly. He kicked her in the stomach, flew over her and sank his claws into her back. Her back! He had gotten through the scales!
A heavy hammerlike blow bashed his skull, making him stagger. Her tail. Then he realized blood was coming from his head. The dragon clawed it feircly, arrows whizzed by him. Bloodloss was making him feel dizzy. The next thing he knew, he was on the ground, the life being clawed out of him by the other dragon.
I'm sorry guys...I tried so hard...keep fighting...
SageKiller shoved open the door to the control room. "C'mon!" She gasped. Guy and Yarin fired two last shots at the crowd behind them then came in, dropped their weapons and started firing up the computers. Guy groaned at the slowness. "You'd think we'd have the sense to upgrade this room once in a while. We haven't touched this since we moved here, have we?"
"Nope," said Goom, who had just come in to help. "The other mods can help, we need to get this up as fast as possible." "Having more people in the room won't help it turn on faster." pointed out Yarin.
"He did help set up the system," said Sage, glancing over her shoulder. "He should know a thing or two."
Soon the three of them were punching up programs, debating, and fingers flew over keys. "Aha!" Yelled Yarin, and brough up a picture of the turret defenses of RAF. Goom gently pushed him aside and slowly activated every cannon.
"Stun...inside and out..." goom murmered. "Uh oh. This might take time. Time we don't have. We have to program it to make sure it doesn't shoot RAFians. Luckily, the member list goes onto this. We just have to check to make sure."
The three of them crowded around and began to program the computer.
Queen calmed herself. Or tried. "Richard, you!" (Authors Note: At this moment in the story, Queen uttered a few words a little to vulgar for me to want to type. you get the gist of it.) "I don't get how you could be so calm as RAFians die around you! Doesn't that hurt you? Doesn't that make you suffer?" Queen gestured at still forms dotted over the battlefeild. Most were stirring, but at least two in Richard's immediate vision weren't.
"Oh, god." Whispered Richard. "Queen...what have you done?"
Queen cackled. "Aren't so high and mighty now that Blocky and Jess are dead, are ya?"
-
Wow! That is very, and I mean very great! Wow!
-
Yes. But I'd stay away from Jess for a while, Horse. ;)
-
Yay! It's a great chapter Sealsis, very dramatic! :)
-
Wow! Such drama! Great part, Horsie!
Can't wait to see what happens next.
-
OMG JESS IS DEAD! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG....oh look, blocky's dead too...meh :P
-
Lol. Oh, Aidan, come and see what Blue said... :P
-
Queen cackled. "Aren't so high and mighty now that Blocky and Jess are dead, are ya?"[/color]
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o

Wow, awesome chapter Horsie.

1) My beginning part is pure awesome. Seriously. Amazing.
2) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O! Jess and Blocky :(
-
I died dddddd

Alright, sorry for the wait, guys.
Chapter Seventeen
Queen laughed and laughed. Finally...she had hurt Richard so much! He was paying! His precious RAFians were nothing to her, they were all crushed beneath her feet, she was lord, she was ruler, she was...
She was flat on her back in the mud, Richard standing over her, his eye blazing. "This used to be a peaceful place, Queen!" He yelled. "This was peaceful until...until you and your friends came!" He spat the word friends like a curse. "Its an online forum! And you see the need to kill and to murder and to lie! Why, Queen? What did we ever to do you? Now I'm going to give you just what you came to get. You came here asking for a fight, you're going to get one!"
Yorick, Aloth, and Dagger melted out of the fresh downpour of rain and grimly stood beside Queen. Claire, Phoenix, and Esplin came up and stood beside Richard as well. Richard spread his arms wide. "Four on four Queen. A fair fight."
Claire and Dagger started to circle, as did Russell and Aloth. Phoenix and Yorick drew their swords and stepped forward, and Richard and Queen leaped at each other right away. The first initial contact of the two leaders made them rebound off each other, Queen went sprawling in thet mud again, and Richard landed neatly on his feet. She swiped one of her feet through the air, energy slashing after it, and it caught Richard unprepared, (Authors Note: Look, you're probably gonna be all like "How could you catch Richard unprepared? He's Richard!" But...can't he get hurt once? Please?) and he fell. Queen was on her feet and conjuring again in a flash. Richard neatly tripped her, then was on his feet and driving an energy ball toward the back her her head.
Guy gave a triumphant shout. "Got it! All Queen followers and Queen herself will be stunned by the defense Shredder cannons. Nap time, kiddies." And in true style of one activating large guns, Guy pushed the big red button.
There was a large mechanical clunking. Out of the walls, large Shredder cannons rose. Old and rusted, but still working, they soon began firing upon Queen's groups. The minions outside the walls were the lucky ones. They were the ones that escaped the blasts. The ones on the inside had to find an exit point, and get through it, but before they reached that they were usually stunned. The RAFians let out a hoarse cheer. With the shredder cannons, this battle was won.
Richard paused a second before killing Queen. This was not his way. He had defeated her. The cannons helped. She knew she was beaten. Now she was crying into the dirt. "Don't kill me," she sobbed. "Please. Don't kill me."
Richard curled his lip. "You sicken me, Queen." He spat. "Absolutely sicken me. Now get out of here. Go. And if I ever see your filthy mug here again, I'll kill you. That's a promise Queen. Take your mob. Get out!" Richard turned away. Claire and Dagger were gone, Phoenix had disarmed Yorick and had his sword at his throat, and Esplin had one hoof on Aloth's shoulder and his tail blade as the minion's throat. Richard nodded to them, and Phoenix lowered his sword, and Russell steppd off of Aloth and raised his tail blade. They quickly fled, scurrying after Queen. The three mods watched the three banned until they were specks on the crest of a hill.
Richard turned to them. "I'm very proud of you, and all the mods." He said quietly. He had somewhat regained his compusure. "This was an extremely trying time for RAF, and you all lead the others through this. I chose well when I made you mods."
Phoenix and Esplin smiled weakly at Richard. <Nobody would have made it through without you, Richard.> Said Esplin to him. "No," agreed Phoenix. "You truly lead us. Thank for the praise," Phoenix trailed off. <And thank you. For everything you've done for all of RAF.> Finished Esplin. The two mods turned away and began to asses the damage.
(Author's Note: This paragraph will most likely make people very shocked and very angry. But in the next chapter, it will soon become apparant why it happened. You will most likely STILL be very shocked and very angry. Please bear with me.)
It was an hour or two later. Cheers rang through RAF. Finally. They had won. They had won! It would be over.
Richard trailed around the festivities, searching. What he was searching for, he didn't know. The bodies of Jess and Blocky? Damage? Queen? Claire, who was still missing from her fight with Dagger? He didn't know. Eventually, he found Horse and Mike sitting against a wall. Instantly, he knew something was up. Horse was crying and Mike was sitting, staring blankly into space, looking completely shocked.
"Phoenix? Horse? What's wrong?" Richard asked, looking down at them.
"She...she saved me..." sobbed Horse wretchedly.
Richard had a feeling something really terrible was coming. "Who saved you? Jess?"
"No..." whispered Horse. "Dagger...coming after me...she..."
"Guys...we won. I know...it's horrible...but...we won." Richard realized Horse might not know about Jess and Blocky.
Phoenix looked up. "We won." His voice was hollow and dead. "We won...but at a terrible price."
"What do you mean?" said Richard. Fear began to pulse through him. What had happened.
"We won." Repeated Phoenix. "But Claire is dead."

AMAZING CHAPTER
But...but...but CLAIRE! GBLAHEIDGHIEHIDSFIHEHISLE :'(
Interesting...I don't think I've ever heard that before.
And, thanks guys! :-]

Pronunciation guide: Guh-blah-eyed-ghi-eeh-ids-fih-eeh-is-lee
-
OH NO!!! Claire?!
Great new part.
Just wondering...what happened to me? ;D
-
I understand my absence. If I were shown, no one would've died, and that's just not good for drama. ;D
-
Great chapter Seal! :thumbsup:
-
Gaz: Eh, you're somewhere. :P
Parker: Very modest, you are. ;D
Shorty: Aw, thanks!
-
Somewhere is good. It's better than nowhere. ;D
-
I'm probably just clinging to you refusing to let you leave me again
-
I have a cling on!
-
;D
-
I'll pretend there's a halo over that grin so I can say "don't let it fall and choke you."
lol
-
you say that as if my grin were evil :P
-
I just felt like being snarky. lol. ;D
-
Snarky is fun
-
Indeed it is! That's why we enjoy mocking movies so much.
-
Um . . . isn't this a wee bit off-topic?
-
haha! Sorry ;D
-
Parker: Very modest, you are. ;D
Hey, I'm just saying, a SPARTAN against a bunch of on-line misfits? No contest. ;D Especially since BRAD the BRIT got me that infinite ammo clip. *good shudder*
-
I thought that the Intro Randomness thread and this one were different continuities though.
-
they are very similar though, and the three dragons could probobly take you down parker (Shock, Evilpinkdragon, and I)
-
And an Elements Master.
But truthfully, does any of Queen's forces have that kind of firepower (I'm speaking about the aforementioned Elements mastery, dragons, and SPARTAN weaponry)?
-
they do have a large plasma artillery
-
Why we beat the crap out of them.
-
Uh, Blocky, we're not battling each other, we're battling random outcast on-line users, a bunch of fodder. We're on the same side, remember?
I'd ride one of you guys and snipe like crazy while you flooded them with flame. ;D
-
Parker? Wouldn't both of you be vulnerable to an air assault. bow and arrow, stuff like that.
-
Not necessarily. I don't think I'm the only aerokinetic here.
-
Wow. Aerokinetics huh? Impressive quite impressive. DYK? Mewtwo is a water kinetic. I need to update him.
-
That's hydrokinetic -- which I am also as Water, as well as Air, is one of the Six Elements-- and, unless I'm mistaken, the only water attack Mewtwo can learn is Water Pulse. And it is the only one.
(Six Elements = Earth, Fire, Air, Water, Wood and Metal.)
-
Um, Shorty, I have full body armor with an energy shield. I can deflect a .50 caliber bullet, an arrow has no chance. ;D

Oh ok. didn't know that. :P
-
Id rather not be ridden, I'd rather just fight standing or on all legs
-
Chapter is almost done.
And, some of the facts about RAFians and RAF and the Banned and stuff, I botched a little to make it work. But hey, it is a story.
-
Yay almost done. WOOT!

Chapter Eightteen
Richard stared at Phoenix, uncomprehending. Claire? Dead? Impossible. Those two words didn't link together. Why, any minute now she would come running back up, face grim, but willing to help.
"What?" Richard spoke his thoughts aloud. "But...what? No! Claire...no."
Seal nodded faintly. "She...I...Dagger... here, this is what happened." The seal took a deep breath and launced into her story.
"The fighting was getting thick. I saw Dagger running. I suppose she forgot to teleport out of panic. Claire was chasing her. Cloaky and I were fighting nearby. At seeing Dagger...well, lets just say Cloaky loathes Dagger. He ran after her. I chased after them. I don't know why.
"Dagger, Claire, and Cloaky were facing off on top of that hill over there. Cloaky was yelling at Dagger. He said, 'Why, Dagger? What did I ever do to you?' And she responded, 'Well, the very fact that you exist, really.' Then she laughed. Claire shot her with a Shredder beam. Then the cannons came up.
"Claire, Cloaky and Dagger were fighting. Dagger was mostly dodging. Then the cannons came up. The horde came charging up the hill, the cannons picking them off. A few minutes later, Queen, Yorick, and Aloth showed up.
"Queen screamed at Dagger for cowardice. Then she called the horde back. They...they mobbed us. Claire launched herself in front of attacks from Dagger and Queen that were aimed at me...she saved me...but then they came after her...I saw Dagger and Queen, along with tons of people from the horde. They came after Cloaky and I too...I tried to fight them off. Cloaky sheilded me, mostly. It was bad, though. Very bad. I thought I was a goner. Then, they all ran. I...I saw Claire...she...she was lying on the ground...burned...s lashed...horrible. But...lots of minions were lying next to her. She certainly didn't go down without a fight. That's how I'll always remember her...fighting, and doing so well against such unimaginable odds..."
Here Horse trailed off. Richard stared at her blankly. "Where's Cloaky?" He asked. His voice sounded distant to him.
"Cloaky, once they were gone, yelled 'I'm going after Dagger. It was her that killed Claire,' then he vanished. I haven't seen him since.
"I lay on that hill, what felt like forever, then teleported back here."
Richard then saw that her back was ridden with cuts and burns. "Go to the hospital, Seal." He said softly. "Get yourself sorted out."
Esplin searched around the grounds, looking for RAFians that were wounded. Shock and Evilpinkdragon carried them to the hospital wing. Terenia was carried away...then Duff and Tobsie...then Wild...then...
Esplin froze. He had clearly heard Queen. Then...how...this was a miracle! Alive!
Lying before him, looking dead except for the faint rise and fall of her chest, was Jess.
Tocade, a healer in the hospital wing, bent over Jess. She was very near dead. It was a wonder she was alive. Tocade opened the cabinet near the beds, and searched through it. It might take a real miracle to save her.
Brad came dashing up. "Oh god," he muttered. "This is gonna take a real miracle."
Tocade stared at him. "I thought I was treating Jess," she said. There couldn't be anyone else as injured as her, could there?
"You are," said Brad, pulling out a medicine, examining it, and putting it on a small cart. "But we've got another near dead one. A wonder he's still alive."
"Who?"
"Blocky."
Cloaky ground his teeth furiously. No! How could he lose her? After all this way he had chased her, all the times they had clashed, not just now, but over the years, he had thought he was so close to winning, he had lost her again! "No!" He whispered in anguish.
After the horde attacked him, Claire, and Horse, he had clearly seen Dagger preform the killing blow. The energy...Claire falling...yes, it was definitely Dagger. He had left Horse and ran towards Dagger, grabbing her cloak just in time, and teleporting with her. They had fought, then she teleported, he followed again. They fought more. But then she had gotten away from him. Claire's killer, his very own sister! How could he ever forgive himself. He vowed he would hunt her down and kill her, no matter what the cost. Dagger had caused to much trouble.
He searched more universes, still nothing. Eventually, he knew who he must see. Hopefully...maybe.. .maybe she could help him.
Cloaky teleported to the Realm Walker's home, the Universal Nexus. Several greeted him, he nodded thanks. Then he found his elder sister's house. His elder sister's name was Faith. Cloaky and Faith had remained close over the years, even though their little sister, Dagger, had separated herself from them.
Faith came outside. "Cloaky!" She exclaimed happily. They gave a quick hug. "What are you doing here? I thought you had joined RAF!"
"What, I'm not allowed to visit?" Teased Cloak. Seeing Faith always cheered him up. "But actually, Faith, the reason I'm here is Dagger..."
Faith's eyes went wide as Cloaky explained about the seige of RAF. "Oh my goodness...Cloaky, that's absolutely terrible...Dagger.. .Dagger killed someone? Okay...she's...she's right inside..." Faith opened the door for Cloak and led the way in.
Faith called upstairs. "Shadow! Someone to see you here, dearest!"
Shadow, Faith's daughter and therefore Cloaky's neice, jumped downstairs. Her form under her cloak was monkey-like, just like Cloaky's was tiger-like, Faith was fox-like, and Dagger reptilian.
"Uncle Cloaky!" Exclaimed Shadow, hugging him. "I didn't expect you to come!"
"I only planned it a few minutes ago," explained Cloaky. "But...there's something I want to ask you. I know you can sense people throughout different universes." Shadow nodded. "I know the last time I checked you couldn't sense where Realm Walkers were." Another nod. "I was wondering if you can now. I need to find Dagger."
Shadow looked up at Cloaky. "Uncle...I'm so sorry. I can't find her. I can't find Realm Walkers. I'm sorry, Uncle."
Cloaky smiled sadly. "It's okay, Shadow. I know you did your best." And he strode towards the door. "Cloaky, wait!" Called out Faith. But Cloaky was gone.
(Authors note: Since Shadow is a monkey form, I can now share an amusing fact. Cloaky is a monkey's uncle.)
Seal looked over at the bed next to her and then at the bed across from her. Blocky and Jess were still inches from death. As if Claire dying wasn't bad enough...now her IRL good friend and Tyclairacornsis were dying? At least they were alive, she kept telling herself. At least they were alive. She shook her head.
Seal looked at the other people in the hospital. Duff, Tobsie, Sage, Wild, Blocky, Jess, Terenia, Blue, and demos all lay on hospital beds. And that was only in this section. The Urgent Care section.
Horse closed her eyes. This war had drained so much from the RAFians. Drained so much from RAF. There was so much left to do. So much. This war was terrible. Why? Why Queen? This wasn't the time to worry. Now was the time to rest. And sleep.
Horse closed sighed and slipped into the land of dreams.
-
Excellent, Horse.
And I'm very well aware of that "monkey's uncle" thing, it's been a mostly-forgotten family joke for years. When she was two she proclaimed that Scar (we were watchin' Lion King at the time) was a monkey's uncle just like me -- it's in the Quotable Quotes thread somewhere.
-
That author's note is hilarious, absolutely hilarious. +1. Now your doing cliffhangers? ok.....good for you.
-
wow, tthat was great
-
nice chap Sealsis can't wait to here more. and I hope Cloaky avenges the death of my RAFdaughter/Great granddaughter
-
Awesome chapter Seal!
-
Great chapter Sealsis! I love the author's note ;D
-
Thanks everyone!
And thanks to everyone who voted for me and RotB for the RAFaward, because I am now best fanfic writer, and RotB is now Best Fanfic! I'm so proud of this. :)
And, yes, Shorty. I have been doing cliffhangers for several chapters now. Is there something wrong with that?
-
Well, I know I voted for this thread.
Congrats, little seal.
-
I voted for you and this.
Nothing wrong, just noticed.
-
Awesome chapter.
-
Ta da!
(Authors note: Since Shadow is a monkey form, I can now share an amusing fact. Cloaky is a monkey's uncle.)
[/color]
*giggle*
Congrats, Horsie! Awesome chapter.
-
Indeed ;D :D 8) :-\... :)
-
New chapter is nearly done! Just need to finish a sentence or two then post it!
FYI: WE ARE COMING TO THE END OF THIS BOOK.
FYI #2: WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A SEQUEL!
:)
I'm planning on making this series a trilogy. I have Book #2 planned out already, so once RotB is done, I can get started on Book 2 right away!
Just a little heads up.
-
kewl awesome amazing, other synonyms!
-
That's awesome. I also planned on making TAS a trilogy.
+1 for trilogies
-
Trilogies are BA. I approve!
-
*steeples his fingers, and in a Mr. Burns-like voice*
Excellent.
-
I'm better at steepled fingers, Cloaky.
-
Rubs hands together like Family Guy giant fly, "Good... Goood-uh."
-
(i have to use him? oy)
J Jonah Jameson walks in: "Parker (not Spartan) your fired. Seal your hired."
Yay! +1
-
:eyebrow: Parker was a photographer, not an article writer. It would make more sense to say, "Robbie, you're fired, Seal, you start tomorrow!"
-
Trilogies FTW! Three is the magic number after all...
Can't wait to see more of your work Seal, you're a far better writer than I was at your age! :P
-
I'm too embarrassed to give you guys the links to stuff I've written at her age lol. they were horrible
-
:eyebrow: Parker was a photographer, not an article writer. It would make more sense to say, "Robbie, you're fired, Seal, you start tomorrow!"
but parker got the journalist position in the middle of spider-man 3.
I was a good writer at seals age.
-
I was too busy writing bad emo poems when I was Seal's age
-
Lol, emo poems seem to come out at twelve. All of my poems are turning darker and emo-ish. ::)
-
I can't wait to read more!
-
I had a lot to catch up on, believe me!(It made more sense to start at the beginning, anyway. Bladeh has poor memory) I absolutely luff it! IT IS SO EPICK! Please continue!!
*puts hands/paws together in an appluase*
What happened to Bladeh? Just wondering? Maybe it was because I disappeared for a little bit...
-
Lol, emo poems seem to come out at twelve. All of my poems are turning darker and emo-ish. ::)
Noooo! You can fight it! Don't let the emo-demon get you!
-
Oh. Right. Sorry! :-\
Though I can't post about everyone all the time, lol. I usually tend to devote a paragraph to one RAFian at a time. I can't have a million tiny paragraphs that are as short as this one in every chapter. :P
Lol, emo poems seem to come out at twelve. All of my poems are turning darker and emo-ish. ::)
Noooo! You can fight it! Don't let the emo-demon get you!
Lol, I'm trying. Then again, I don't usually write poems until the Poetry Unit in school...and THAT is a pain...
-
that's okay, I enjoyed it anyway! ;D
-
oh, it's school poetry. in that case, it's fine. keeps the teachers on their toes ;D
-
Lol. Well, I've written a few home poems, an they're all emo. I haven't written any school poems since last year.
-
Quick! Fight back while you still have a chance to save yourself!
-
We won't let it take you! We'll help you fight!
-
Is Mewtwo going to get more (um a word a word....) of a presence on the sequel?
-
Lol, I'll try to put more people in the chapter after this. I think that will be more little paragraphs. Just telling about the aftermath of the war.
-
I'm fine with that ;D
-
YAY! a paragraph, WOOT!
-
nothing like a good paragraph
-
Sorry for the delay. And, Merry Christmas, guys!
Chapter Nineteen
Horse left the Urgent Care section the next day, the scratches mangling her back weren't too deep, it was the gash on her face that had worried them and sent her there. But, apart from scarring, she would be fine. Besides, she had freed up one bed. The doctors had wanted her to stay, but she had insisted no. They had enough to worry about.
"Cloaky?" Horse called, and winced. The gash ran over her mouth and hurt every time she spoke. But her concern for her friend was greater. "Cloaky? Where are you?"
"Nobody's seen Cloaky since the battle," a hoarse voice croaked. "Believe me, I've called many a time for many a RAFian. No one's seen Faerie, or Mike either."
Horse whipped around, and stared. "R-Richard?" She said, disbelievingly.
Richard looked exhausted. He leaned against the crumbled wall as he spoke, his eyes were dull, his hair tousled, his clothes ratty and still caked with blood. It was obvious he hadn't slept since the Battle for RAF, as it was starting to be called. Richard shook his head sadly and started limping off to the sad looking little repair crew patching up the door.
Horse deftly flicked a flipper, and teleported herself and Richard into the Hospital. "Wha...Seal, what are you doing? There's work to be done..." Protested Richard.
Tocade took one look and shoved Richard gently onto a bed. "Oh, no you don't." She said. "You're getting that leg wound cleaned and bandaged. If it gets infected, you might need an amputation, and we don't want to call you one-legged-Richard. Makes you sound like a pirate."
Richard tried to get up from the bed again, but KitsuneMaire, a new member and luckily a nurse, pushed him back down again. "And, you need sleep." She said, picking up from where Tocade left off. "There's no use in you helping the repair crew if you fall alseep on every brick."
Horse left. Short as she was, people didn't tend to see her, then they tripped over her. No use in her getting underfoot. Literally.
Faerie shook her head and dragged herself off the ground. She felt like a thousand tiny roadworkers were beating tiny jackhammers all over her skull. Not a fun feeling.
Time to start establishing information. Who am I? Faerie Larka. Where am I? Um...On the top of the main tower in RAF, I think. Why am I up here? Because I flew up here to chase another enemy. Just a normal, boring old fairy. Why was I chasing that fairy? Because of the battle...
The battle! Faerie sprung upright, instantly sitting down again because of the pain in her head. The body of the dead fairy lay on the spire beside her. She distastefully pushed it off the tower.
A particularly superstitious minion of Queen's who had been taken prisoner of war stared at the dead body who landed with a thump beside him. "NOOOOOOOO! PLEASE, I NEVER DID ANYTHING WRONG, GOD!" He screamed, thinking it was the apocolypse, and he would be punished.
Faerie slowly stood up. Good! Her head had stopped pounding. But why was it pounding in the first place? Oh, right. She had reached the top of the tower, when a dragon had flown up, having spotted her. The dragon thwacked her out of the air--she had still been chasing the fairy through the air--and thank god, she had landed on the tower. With her last act of conciousness, she had slewn the fairy who came to check if she was dead.
Fae tested her wings. Still...mostly operational. Her left one was rather ragged, but she could still fly, and that counted. She launched herself off of the tower, and landed practically on top of Seal, who had just teleported here. "Seal!" She said. "What's happening? Did we win? Where is everyone? And Jess?"
Horse started talking over Faerie. "Faerie! Richard said you were missing, but now you've dropped from the sky? Where were you?"
They both attempted to talk over the other until Faerie raised a hand and said "This is going nowhere, you first."
Horse repeated her questiones.
"Well...I was on top of the tower."
"What?! The TOP?!"
"Ya."
Faerie related her story, then repeated her questions.
"We did win. Now we're healing and cleaning up. Most people are inside resting. And Jes...why do you ask?"
"I saw her. Queen...Aloth...the y ganged up on her. Is she alright?"
"I...I don't know, Faerie. I really don't know."
Blue moaned softly. He cracked open one eye.
Two shadowy blobs were leaning over him. How strange.
He forced another eye open. Turned out to be two people. Tocade, and someone else.
Time to try to talk. "Whr'm I?" He mumbled incoherently.
"He's awake!" Cried a voice.
He tried to speak again. "Wher'm I? Where'm I? Where....Where am I?" He said, finally coherent.
"Thank heavens," said Tocade. "Thank heavens you can talk. There's a gash on your throat. It might affect your speech. I thought you would never speak again."
"Tocade? Wh'happened? Wh...What happened?" Said Blue, his treacherous lips forcing out the wrong words first. "Battle...ended? W'win? Did the battle end? Did we win?"
"Yes," Said the other one. "Though I just joined. My name is KitsuneMarie."
"Nice to meet you," said Blue, and him and Kitsune shook hands.
"We won, and I don't think Queen will be back anytime soon." Continued Tocade."
"Yeah right," said Blue. "If sh'dsn't...If she doesn't...cm'bck...come back...then I'm a keymon...monkey's uncle." This is going to be very annoying, thought Blue. He couldn't speak right. He inverted syllables and slurred words together. Hopefully it wouldn't be like this forever.
"Now, get some sleep." Said Kitsune. "You need to rest up, get your strength back."
"I don't know how many times I've heard you say that." Said demos from the bed next to him. Blood slowly leaked from a nasty, very deep gash on his shoulder. Brad was bending over him. The Brit glanced at Blue. "Glad to see you're awake." Then he bent back over demos, who gave a slight hiss of pain. "Look, hold still," said Brad. "I'm trying to get a very long claw extricated out of your shoulder. It's not my fault you went beserk after that dragon nearly killed Blocky."
Blue sat up quickly. "What?!" He said. "Did you say nearly killed Blocky?!"
"Yes," said Brad softly. He pointed to a very large bed where an unmoving lump of scales and blood lay. "It's still touch and go. I'm...I'm not sure if we can save them."
"Them?" Repeated Blue faintly. "What do you mean 'them?'"
Brad pointed to another unmoving figure. "She's holding up a little better. I think."
Blue craned his neck. "No..." He whispered. "Not...not Jess."
"Yes." Said Brad. "Jess."
-
Nice Seal. Very good!
-
Per usual, excellence, Horse.
-
Good chapter, horsie!
-
epiclicios :D
-
I was on top of the tower! *stands proudly*
So many people in the hospital :(
-
yeah. the two person make-shift hospital :P
-
Hey Seal. When you see this can you come into chat? Got a question I wanna ask and some other stuff. ;)
-
yeah. the two person make-shift hospital :P
Not 2 people. More. Not named. If I covered every single little detail imaginable in the chapter, then the chapter would take you an hour to read. :P
And, no, not makeshift either. It was always there. Just packed at this moment.
-
This is awesome, Seal. I hadn't gotten around to reading this until today, and I just read through the whole thing in one sitting! Great job - you put my students to shame with your writing and you're at least 5 years younger than them!
Huzzah! Keep writing so I can keep reading!
-
Terenia, thank you so much! Very high praise. :-]
-
Sorry for double posting, but I present to you the final chapter of Revenge of the Banned. Thank you.
Chapter Twenty
Voices, and light.
"Hey...hey! I've found him!"
"God, he doesn't look good."
"Erm...based on the burns all over his face, and the various things sticking out of him, I'd say that's a no."
"He must have gotten caught in one of the grenade explosions. Shrapnel grenade, by the looks of it. Let's get him back to the hospital..."
Everything went black again.
More light. Shadowy shapes scrambled back and forth. A sharp pain in his shoulder. "Hey...ow..." he protested weakly.
A hand waved in his face. "His eyes are tracking. You back with us, man?"
Phoenix004 shook his head feebly to clear it and looked around "Um...I think so. Where am I?"
"RAF hospital. You got caught in a shrapnel grenade blast. Glad you're back."
"Ouch!" Protested Phoenix, as Brad yanked a piece of shrapnel out of his shoulder.
"Before you ask," said Brad, as if nothing had ever happened, "Yes, we won the battle. RAF is ours. Queen ran with her tail between her legs."
"Good." Said Mike. "But wait...I was just going out to look for Claire. Why am I suddenly full of bits of stuff?"
"I think Queen," said Brad, grunting as he began to extract a peice from Mike's foot, "left a trap. Hoped to kill you, knowing you'd go look for Claire. But man, she's dead."
"She's NOT dead," growled Mike. "I refuse to believe that. I will never believe that. Until I see her dead body with my own eyes, she's alive."
"Okay, then. She's alive."
But the pity in Brad's eyes told Mike that everyone else had given up on her.
Slowly, RAF was being rebuilt.
Bladeh Mercury, formerly known as Bladepaw sat by the workers, feeling rather helpless, being a cat. Gaz came up and plopped down beside her. "Phew!" The pirate-vampire said. "I'm tired of lifting bricks all day."
Bladeh looked at her ruefully. "Wished I could be tired too. Beats sitting around here."
Gaz appeared thoughtfull. "Hmm...I'm sure there's SOMETHING you can do. Seal found something to do, after all." Gaz nodded to where Seal was conjuring water and mixing up the mortar. "Um...oh hey! You could do patrols on the walltop. Almost everyone else is working, and we need to keep a wary eye out for Queen."
Bladepaw stood up and stretched. "Alright, thanks, Gaz!" Nimbly, she leapt up a pile of crumbling rocks, and scrambled up to the walltop. Keeping a keen eye on the feilds, and ears pricked, she began to walk along the crumbling walls.
Only then did Bladeh truly appreciate how...destroyed RAF was. The Media Board had a large hole in the top, the RAFsocial board's walls falling down. The RAFtower, just some random spire that they put in, had a few holes in it. The walls had gaping holes in it. Most of the rusty old turrets had been blown up. There were huge charred spots on the grass, and blood still on it. RAFians were sadly clearing away bodies of minions, and a few RAFian newbs. It was rather devastating to look at.
RAF has changed, thought Bladeh. And...it will never, ever be the same...
One year later...
Dramatically framed by the sun, CloakedFigure appeared on a hilltop in the swirl of a cloak. He began to walk down the hill--cloak, once again, dramatically billowing in the wind, then was undramatically nearly knocked over by the impact of a seal running headfirst into him.
"Cloaky!" Yelled Horsefan1023 "I knew you'd come back! I knew it!"
"Gah...that means I owe her a dollar." Grumbled FaerieLarka. "I bet that you wouldn't come, being to busy hunting down Dagger."
"Unfaithful," chided Blocky97, finally restored to full health.
"Believe the worst. Then you'll never be dissapointed if it comes," said demos666.
Cloaky smiled, happy to be surrounded by friends again. "Well, lets go. The celebration is about to start."
Kit Cloudkicker, or Jess, smiled at the sight of the party of five coming down the hill. Her thoughts were interrupted by SageKiller, sounding impatient, in the wheelchair in front of her. "Well, come on, wheel me on, Jess. I want to join the mob greeting them."
Jess grinned cheekily. "What if I just ran away and left you here? Come on, just because you are unable to move your legs anymore doesn't mean you can't move your arms. Come on, use those muscles!"
They both laughed, and Jess begain to wheel Sage's chair along.
An hour or so later, RAFians were all gathered around one long table. They were talking, laughing. Being together. Completely relaxed for the first time in a year. Bladeh was right, RAF had changed forever.
Cloaky was telling about his travels to hunt for Dagger, with a raptly listening crowd. Other RAFians were relating the battle.
After a little while, Richard stood up and clinked his spoon on a glass. Silence fell.
"Well, my fellow RAFians," he began. "You know why we're here. We're celebrating our freedom. Celebrating the war we won against Queen. The war we won, and gained so much. That is why we are celebrating, feasting, and laughing together.
"Now, I am sorry to effectivelly kill your laughter, but I need to remind you of the price we paid. We have lost Claire, a valued staff member, and friend of many. She was killed protecting a RAFian, and RAF itself. No person deserves higher honor. That is why I am not replacing her on the staff. Our only staff members will be Russell, Mike, Goom, and myself.
"I know, you are all sad now. But keep in mind. Claire was willing to sacrifice herself. She was willing. This was her choice, and never forget that. You all have a choice. The choice is...bravery and sacrifice...or cowardice and loss.
"Ask yourself that every day. Be a hero...or be a coward. There may not be the opprotunity to do it every day, but think about it.
"Remember Claire. She made the choice. Remember...she paid the price. Willingly. She paid the price. The price that must be paid to have freedom for all."
Epilogue
My name is Horsefan1023. I have faced the pain and the anguish it took to look back upon these memories to compile this book.
You have no idea how much pain it caused to look back. All of us have tried to forget. To not live the pain again. The pain of how it changed us. The pain of the loss of Claire. The pain of the thoughs of Queen.
I put this together and faced the pain. Faced the agony. To remind us. To remind us of what it cost, that we must be brave, and remember. Be brave like Claire. Choose hero over coward.
Remember the price, too. The price of a life. Of Claire.
But, as Richard said...the price must be paid to have freedom for all.
The price must be paid to have freedom for all.

Sealie that was beautiful! *whipes single tear from eye* a perfect end to a perfect fic....

OUCH!! WATCH IT WITH THAT THING BLUE! ;)
[...] then was undramatically nearly knocked over by the impact of a seal running headfirst into him. [...]
This is probably funnier to me because Shadow ACTUALLY DID THIS, or tried to, whenever I picked her from daycare all those years ago.
-
AMAZING :'( so beautiful
-
Still can't believe you killed off Claire, but I'm at least glad you gave her a hero's ending. Nice writing Seal.
-
That was great, Horsie! Wonderful job!
-
Dammit. Can't believe I lost that bet.
Awesome ending to the first part :)
-
That was so EPICK! ;D
Sad ending, though.
Bladeh Mercury, formerly known as Bladepaw sat by the workers, feeling rather helpless, being a cat.
Thanks for recognizing my name change!
-
Love it Seal! :thumbsup:
-
Very cool ending!
-
soooo, what's the next one called?
-
Or is the name top-secret classified info?
-
Lol, not top secret. After I finish the prolouge, I'll start another thread, titled
An Error Has Occured! A sequel to Revenge of the Banned
But that might be too long...hmmm...maybe I'll just say a sequel to RotB...
-
An Error Has Occurred. I like it.
-
Nooo, An Error Has Occured! Exclamation point. :P
Because, that's what this forum says when there's an error. "An Error Has Occured! Blah, blah, blah."
-
Ha ha, I like it! If it doesn't fit try something like "ROTB 2: An Error Has Occured!"
-
Oh, yes, I could do that.
But first, I have to finish the prologue.
-
Nooo, An Error Has Occured! Exclamation point. :P
Because, that's what this forum says when there's an error. "An Error Has Occured! Blah, blah, blah."
Mrah mrah mrah. Explanation point.
Fine.
-
Alright guys, the prologue will be up tonight! It is finished, I'm just going through it for spelling/grammatical errors, and then it will be up! Keep your eyes peeled for the thread!
-
Why not lock this thread since the other one is up and running?
-
Sounds good. Or maybe a mod could change it to RotB discussion--I'm planning on pulling an Este and making a different thread for the actual story.
Phoenix? Would you oblige?
-
*waves hand dramatically*
It is done... :)
-
Lol, thank you. After a few chapters of AEHO (An Error Has Occurred) I'll gather up all the chapters and prologue and epilogue, read through, and post up the story.
-
Sweetness!
-
Awesomesauce!
We can flame each other so badly that the seqoyas will burn. We can discuss, yay.
