Before I start, I shall give anyone who wants to join a Template for entering the Story.

Name:
Race:
(If Spiral Knight) Rank:
Gender:
Likes & Dislikes:
Backstory:
Good or Evil?:
Equipment/Costume:
Death (Optional)?:
Extra info (Optional):

Name: Sarons
Race: Spiral Knight
Rank: Knight Elite
Gender: Male
Likes & Dislikes: Likes: A Good fight or challenge, his Guild and his Battle Sprite. Dislikes: Herex, Traitors and his Guild's Name.
Backstory: After being badly damaged by Herex and an Experiment with Dark Matter, Sarons was Corrupted for months, and was an Outlaw for Killing other Knights. But before drifting into a State of Near Insanity from the Amount of Dark Matter Energy, Sarons was finally able to stop this insanity through accidentally finding Luminite, a Purifying Ore deep in the Clockworks. After proving himself, Sarons returned to the Spiral Knights, a Knight once more. This story takes place after the defeat of the Royal Jelly, and here, he is trying to Stop Project R from Happening while trying to also save the Spiral Knights working in the lab from an Unknown person named "W-M-S".
Good or Evil?: Good, but that doesn't mean too friendly. Sarons goes on so many missions on his own, that he grew kind of a Bitter-Sweet taste to the Spiral Unit in haven. Dark Matter Ore has corrupted him before, so that changed his behavior as well.
Equipment/Costume: Tempered Calibur, Solid Cobalt Armor & Helm, Autogun, Great Defender. Costume: Spiral Crescent Helm with Cool Helm-Mounted Display and Cool Mecha Wings, and the Fencing Jacket.
Death (Optional)?: No thanks.
Extra Info (Optional): Sarons acts...weirdly around Dark Matter, and becomes a Much Darker Person when it's around. Mission Briefing is given to him by his Partner, Lynn Avry. His Drakon can speak. He has almost become a Trojan.

Name: Lynn Avry
Race: Analyzon
Rank: N/A, Due to not setting out for Missions and instead Briefing Sarons on them.
Gender: Female
Likes & Dislikes: Likes: Her Friends, a little Blue Jelly Cube in the Lab and Watching a Game of Lockdown in the Colosseum. Dislikes: Gremlins, Attacks on Haven and The Unknown Secrets of the Core.
Backstory: Lynn Avry was a Prototype of a New Race of Spiral Units called the Analyzon, which was meant not for battle but to give info to Spiral Units when on a Mission. She was created before Sarons was, and is Sarons' Partner throughout the Clockworks. She enjoys doing her job, and is one of the many Spiral Units working in the lab. In this Story, she was caught off guard by "W-M-S", and is now forced to help Sarons find needed info on Project R for this Person.
Good or Evil?: Good.
Equipment/Costume: Being inexperienced with Combat, her Equipment includes: Cyclops Cap, Vitasuit, Proto Shield, Robo Wrecker and Proto Gun. Costume: Dusky Headband and Dusky Com unit on a Spiral Tailed Helm and a Spiral Flak Jacket.
Death (Optional)?: No, but Somewhat Major Injuries in the beginning.
Extra Info (Optional): Lynn Glitches out when trying to tell Sarons info about this "W-M-S" person, which Increases Sarons' Curiosity. Lynn seems to be Smarter than an Average Knight, which maybe has to do with her being an Analyzon. It seems she knows the most out of all the Workers in the lab about W-M-S.

Those are my Two Characters for the story, feel free to add your own Character, I may accept it.

We don't know what's gonna happen in the story without an intro, and I don't know what a Human is or where they were supposed to come from.

That title why

This is just a Template and my two characters

I will be making changes, and the Introduction will be here soon. This is just a Template for people wanting to start early. If you want to report anything that seems out of place from the game, I will be happy to change it as well, but for now I'll change my characters. And yes, I know the title is Cringey, I couldn't think of a better one.

(Maybe Whole) Prologue

The Room was covered in Goo and Slime. Rubble and Rocks had fallen to the ground. Pieces of A Giant Crown had littered the Giant Spot of Slime and Jelly Cube. The Royal Jelly was defeated. But by who? A Single Spiral Knight Rose from the ground. Badly injured, Covered in Slime and Armor somewhat pierced by Thorns. He Limped out of the Room, weakly but Triumphantly. This Knight's name was Sarons. "'Good work Sarons. The Source of Energy is up ahead.'" The One who was talking here was Lynn Avry, Sarons' Partner, an Analyzon and at this moment was nearly Speechless. Finding another Recon Module, Sarons recorded the message.

On the Elevator, Sarons had noticed something else. A Transmitter was attached to it, with a Button on it. When Sarons Pressed the Button, he heard a Message. A Voice seemed to say Initials before the person said anything.

"W-M-S: What business do you have, talking to me, you traitor?"
"H: ...I have the artifact. You'd better look out. The ones I stole it from...you should know."
"W-M-S: Tell me their names."
"H: ...The names were, In order from Highest Rank to Lowest, Rhendon, Sarons and Lynn Avry."
"W-M-S: ...! So they're alive...Fortunately, I have a Plan to get rid of them and the Spiral Knights and Strangers once and for all."
"H: It had better be a good one. Otherwise I'll use this Artifact's powers against you."
"W-M-S: I first need to find a way to get rid of that Sarons one. He's the one that always stops our plans."
"H: Whatever. I shall end them ALL in one fell swoop, even if your plan fails."
"W-M-S: As Idiotic as ever. I'll not speak to you again."

Sarons Recognized one of the Voices. The other sounded like he had heard it before, but it wasn't as Familiar.

One of the people were Herex.

(To be Continued in Part 1, for this was only the Prologue.)

Story Update

Due to just completing the Mission "Built to Destroy!", I can now completely finish the story when I get to that point.

(Also, the Roarmulus twins were a LOT harder than I thought they would be. I'm surprised I didn't run out of sparks.)

Chapter 1: Part 1: The Project

The Next Day, Sarons headed to the Arcade to see if he could find any rare Crafting Materials when he gained a Transmission. Answering it, the Voice was Lynn's.
"Hey Lynn. Important info, I'm guessing?" Sarons knew what would happen. Lynn only called to inform Sarons on important info. "Yeah, Rhendon wants to see you in the lab. Something about a Project."

"Good to see you, Sarons." Rhendon was waiting in the Lab for Sarons. "If you could follow Lynn and I up here, I'll tell you what's going on." Sarons, Lynn and Rhendon walked to the Area the Artifact used to be, but now there was the Transmitter found on the Elevator. "We've obtained...interesting Info. The Plan that the Unknown Person and Herex were talking about is called Project R." "O...K...and is there any other needed information?" Lynn walked up. "Other info explains that this 'Project R' is going to be used to destroy ALL of Haven. Ending Spiral Knights, Strangers and other creatures alike. After hearing this Information, Gremlins were being spot in an area of Jigsaw Valley, where Trees are everywhere. They have been Cutting them down, and Upsetting spirits living in that area. Your goal for now is to stop them, and hopefully we gain more information on this Project R."

So Sarons set out to stop the Gremlins from destroying the forest. Little did he know that there were More then Gremlins there...

Chapter 1: Part 2: The Gremlin

Gremlins were Wrecking havoc in Jigsaw Valley. The Place was practically in Shambles. The Plan was going Smoothly and finally came into place when a Gremlin yelled "INTRUDER". It was Sarons, the one who Stopped their plans many times before. The Plan was simple. They all ran from the Knight, which was Very Non-Gremlin behavior.

Sarons decided to follow the Gremlins. There, he was ambushed by a Ton of them. The Sheer amount of them was nearly enough to stop Sarons, when a Single Lumber came along, and smashed their Log Arm into the Knight's Head, Knocking the Power straight out of him.

Later on, a Single Gremlin, a bit different from the others, had found the place the Knight had been captured. This Gremlin was named Raz, and was...different from the other Thwackers. The Gremlin had been trying to find a way to stop the plan, but now he was trying to help that Knight that was trapped. Soon he had realized the only way to rescue the Knight was to go in, Guns ablazing. Raz ran straight into the Gathering, slashing at any Gremlins in his way. Soon they had all noticed him, and had just started to Activate Some Lumbers, Scuttlebots and Retrodes. While they were Busy doing that, Raz re-activated the captured knight.

"POWER ON." Sarons got up. Looking down at the Gremlin, he Started to Unsheath his Sword. "Who are you?! Are you going to try to kill me?!" The Gremlin looked up at Sarons. "Yeah, I'm going to Rescue you so that I can Kill you personally. NO I'M NOT YOU IDIOT! Now c'mon, we need to get out of here before the Gremlins power on their machi--" The Rumbling of Motors, the Cranking of Gears and the footsteps of Gremlin feet could be heard. They weren't getting out without a Fight. Luckily, Sarons and that weird Gremlin knew how to handle this kind of Weaponry. Slicing and Slashing filled the air, the Slamming of Logs and the Explosions of Constructs were the only thing that could be heard throughout the Valley. Flames Seared the ground, and finally, the battle was over. The Knight and Gremlin had won. The last of the Gremlins there managed to Escape.

"So, if you AREN'T going to kill me...why did you rescue me?" Sarons and the Gremlin were resting at a little Campsite they made by the Elevator. "Don't know, probably the fact that I didn't want to see the Person who Took down the Snarbolax and Royal Jelly be defeated by a Bunch of Gremlins." "Well thanks anyways, and Sorry for thinking you were going to kill me." The Knight smiled a bit. "Yeah, you should probably think about what the Monster's doing before you decide what to make of it." "Say, what's your Name, Gremlin?" "Call me Raz." And so, despite Gremlins being Evil (Well, Most), Sarons made friends with Raz, the Gremlin Thwacker Outcast from Haven.

Interlude: Plan B

The Gremlins that had escaped ran to their Leader, a Man they only called 'The Warmaster'. "S-Sir...The Knight you told us to get, he escaped with another outcast, and wiped out m-most of us..."

"WHAT?! Hmmm...in that case...we must resort to Plan B. Gather together our greatest Gremlin Troops." The Warmaster had a Fiendish look on his face. "Where's the closest terminal to Haven?"

Chapter 2: Part 1: A Scheme to Stop

Returning to the Lab with his new ally, Raz, Sarons headed up to find his next mission.

"Alright Saro--AAAGH, GREMLIN!" The Lab was in a State of Panic from the Gremlin invading the place. "W-Woah, WAIT, this Gremlin saved me, he's good, I Promise!" Sarons was trying to get everyone to calm down. Rhendon walked up to Sarons. "Sorry about the panic, it's just that everyone doesn't want the last time we had Gremlins in the lab to happen again. You'll have your Missions briefed on the way to the area now. Good luck, for this one may be tough."

On the Elevator, Sarons was given his mission by Lynn. "Alright Sarons, today your mission is to find a Gremlin Test Lab and obtain the Schematics inside." "Got it." Raz wasn't going to be accompanying Sarons this time. "The Area is full of Shock-based enemies, so you had better be careful. Good lu--" Lynn was cut off by a Loud Crashing sound. Somebody was invading the Lab.

Chapter 2: Part 2: The Deal

"Lynn? Rhendon?! ANYONE?!" No answer. Sarons was stuck on an elevator, with no way back to check what happened. For one of the first times, he was scared. "...he tes...! Th...er...oo ma...y of t...he...! ..." He could only hear the cries and pleas for help.

"...ere we ar...Hello?" Somebody was speaking to Sarons again. "Who are you?!" Sarons was still scared. "...I cannot say my true name, but you can call me S." "Alright...S." Sarons was a bit calmer, then remembered that this was not a person from before. Meaning... "WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY FRIENDS?! WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE OTHER KNIGHTS?! WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" "Calm down friend, I've done nothing to them. I can't say the same for the damage my friends have done." "'...Sa..rons...'" Lynn could be heard. "...S...please don't do anything else to them." "Oh, don't worry. I'm not here for them. It's YOU I'm here for...but that doesn't mean I won't hurt them if you don't listen."

"You know, Sarons, I've heard lots about you. How you slayed the Snarbolax, how you had killed the Royal Jelly...this is why I wanted to see you." "...I'm at your mercy, S. As long as they aren't hurt." "Good, that's what I expected to hear. Now, have you ever heard of...'Project R'?" Sarons paused. "Actually, I'm on a mission to gain some schematics about it from a Gremlin test lab." Silence. "I was going to tell you it's whereabouts, but it sounds like You're almost there. I know about Project R, and I want to help stop it. There are some special things I need from different places, but I couldn't, for Herex would know I was there." Sarons was surprised. "Herex?! Is HE the one leading Project R?!" "Yes, he is. And he and I have a history. I pretty much would have a target on my back if I went into the areas I need to go to. That's where you come in. I'll give you the names of the areas and help you out there in exchange for everything I need. When this is done, I'll give you your friends back. Deal?" Sarons stopped. Can this man really be trusted? ...But he doesn't have a choice. Besides, Herex is his greatest Nemesis. He HAS to stop him.

"Deal, S."

Please change...

Please change the Race, since there are no Humans in the Spiral Lore.
I know for Sarons it used to say Part Human, but I have changed it.
I don't want you to change too much, at least just the Race and maybe anything related to being human.

Other than that, your character is accepted.

Chapter 2: Part 3: Electrical Information

Sarons looked out from the room he started in, and saw some Gremlins. Pulling out his sword, he quickly dispatched of them, and heard a slash elsewhere. Interested on what was happening, Sarons ran over to investigate. "S, can you see what's here?" "...No, the area is still being analyzed." "Guess I'll have to do this the old fashioned way."

There they stood, over the bodies of a swarm of gremlins. What pitiful monsters. Things as weak as them didn't deserve to live. Not in the Clockworks, not anywhere. "...Hello?" They heard a voice, and quickly turned around. "Oh thank goodness...You're just a Spiral knight." They were shocked. 'Just a Spiral Knight'?! What an outrage to be called just a Spiral Knight. Who did this person think they are?! In fact...WHAT was this person? The blood on their visor blocked the vision of the Knight. Seeing as there were nothing but gremlins around here, they went for the final decision of whatever this person was to be a Low-Life, Clockwork-Dwelling Gremlin. So he attacked.

Sarons didn't expect the knight to attack so suddenly. Perhaps he was a Mecha Knight in disguise. But gremlin technology couldn't make this. The Cutter they wielded connected with Sarons's Arm, causing a scratch. Nothing some Solid Cobalt couldn't handle. "Have you gone mad, soldier?! We're both fighting Gremlins here! Why attack me?!" Their voice scratched, like gears grinding on metal. "Shush, and let the blade soothe your soul...besides...I need the heat." Sarons knew this person was one of two things; Insane, or Possessed by Dark Matter. Either way, he had to fight back. Good thing Lockdown gave him some really good practice. Sarons pulled out his blade to attack, but his arm was grabbed, as he was shocked by this Knight with Bloody Armour's arm. When it was over, he got up to run, the Knight chasing him. "AT LEAST STATE YOUR BUISNESS OR NAME!"

"Why would it matter to you...Low-life?" They had their foe right where they wanted them. At least, that's what he thought. For when he turned the corner, he was hit by a shock trap. The pain coursed through his body, as slowly, everything began to go black...

The knight was downed, but would be up soon. Sarons decided that he should find these blueprints. After hours of searching, he came across one room. The room was filled with explosives, and a huge statue of...a gun puppy? Perhaps this was more than that. He climbed up the passage to an area full of computers. There was a red flashing button by a monitor. Sarons pressed it, only to see something horrifying. The screen showed horrifying images of haven burning down with Gigantic Statues, like the one seen before, looming over everything, the Knights being tormented by Gremlins and Cradle becoming more and more evil-looking. It then displayed a 3-d Model of the statue-like creations, and telling of everything needed to make it. "This is Sarons. I've found the blueprints. It's worse than I thought. I'll be returning to haven shortly."

They saw him, looking at the blueprints. After being shocked by a trap, they weren't happy. They pulled out their gun, and charged up. The Low-Life noticed them, and jumped before they were shot by the Gun. Curses, a Miss. The Low-Life then lunged at them, their blade connecting with the Knight's head, leaving a crack in the side of their helmet. They were now Truly aggravated. They kept slashing at the Low-Life Gremlin, who quickly shielded the blows, and knocked them into some explosives. The Low-Life then knocked them over the block of explosives, which lead to the pit below them. They plummeted down, a look on their face saying "I'll kill you someday, Low-Life."

After Sarons knocked them back, the Armor of the other knight hit a detonator on the explosive. Sadly, tons of explosives were placed all around the area, spelling Sarons's possible doom. "Dig a hole down to the clockworks at these coordinates..." The Place blew up, launching Sarons into the air. He was propelled at insane speeds, and before he hit the ceiling leading to Haven, light shined through.

After the mechanical robots built for making the hole were done, right after, Sarons flew straight through. Somehow, he landed perfectly on the ground. "Well that was convenient. I'll have to thank The scientists for making those."

"The scientists...THE SCIENTISTS!" Sarons Ran as fast as he could to the lab, and when he entered...Nothing. The entire place was trashed. Nothing was there. Zip. Zilch. Zero. But then a figure rose from some rubble. "*Cough cough*...You missed the party, Sarons." It was Raz. "Boy, am I glad to see you. But where's everyone else?" "They took 'em all. I couldn't see who it was, though. The knocked me out before I could do anything."

"--rons? Saro--!" Somebody was trying to speak to Sarons through the com. link. "Who is it?!" "It's L--n! It's me, Sarons!" "LYNN?! Where are you?! Are the others with you?" "Sadly n--...I don't kn-- wh--e they --e. But the-es s---thing yo- need to k--w abo-- S." "Yes, keep going..." "HE'S WO---NG WITH TH- G-..." "The what?!" Lynn's communication link was cut. She must have had a bug in the communication system, with her being a prototype and all. "...Dang it...S has them all captive, and I can't do anything. I'm eating right outta his hand." "Don't hurt yourself too much Sarons. They're probably alright." "I hope so, Raz. We need to make sure that S pays for what he's done to us."

Interlude: Revenge

The test lab burned to smithereens, and nobody was there. But with some help...Something...rose from the ashes.

While they normally would be glad to have survived, thanks to their helpful Seraphinx, they were INFURIATED. They had almost DIED, thanks to one person. And they would kill that person, no matter what.

Even if the cost was their own arm.

It only took a year...Chapter 3: Part 1: The Warmaster's Plans

I keep abandoning this so many times, but it's about time I give everybody what they wanted.

"Alright S, I got everything you needed! GIVE ME BACK MY FRIENDS!" Sarons had busted into the lab, only to see that everybody was there. Well, almost everybody. "Lynn? Where is she?!" "Oh, I'm so glad that you helped me out, Sarons. Don't worry, Lynn's OK. But before I give her back, I'm coming to the Lab to hold up my end of the bargain." Suddenly, something crashed through the Ceiling. "Why doesn't anybody use the doors anymore?!" It was a bunch of gremlins, and a bigger one, wearing a Mask. The Masked Gremlin spoke up. "Greetings, Sarons. I am S, or Warmaster Seerus."

"I applaud you for believing my Lies throughout this entire adventure, but now I need one last thing. Give me the Items, and I'll give you your Precious Analyzon." "Ok...but why do you want the Items?" "Remember those blueprints, and those two Giant Gun Puppies? Those are my secret plan, Project R, Codename: Roarmulous." "So YOU were behind all this! You can forget me giving them to you now!" "I expected you to say that." Seerus pulled out a Hammer with a rocket on the back. Charging it up, he slammed the end into Sarons's Side, Sending Sarons into a wall, losing his Grip on the needed materials. "I'll give you your friend back, don't worry. But you won't have much time." Sarons was slowly losing consciousness, and all he saw was Lynn being thrown to the ground, and Seerus escaping, Rhendon and some of the other Scientists walking over to Sarons, as he blacked out.

When he woke up, he was rested on a table. Getting up, he walked over to the other members of the Unit. "Well...now what do we do?" Lynn looked at him, sorrow on her face. "We wait. I'm sorry you had to do all that to save me, Sarons." "Wait! I'll take them on! If I got us into this mess, I can get us out!" Rhendon walked over to Sarons. "I appreciate your courage, but Seerus is hiding deep in the clockworks in the Ironclaw Munitions factory. And that place is one of the most dangerous areas in the Clockworks." "I'll go with him!" Raz stepped up from the lot. "If Sarons can't do it alone, he can do it with somebody by his side!" "..." Everybody was silent. "...Alright. I'll set up the terminal so that it brings you two to the Munitions factory. Good luck." "I believe in you guys. I'll be sure to contact you two once you're there!" "Alright, let's go."

Sarons and Raz took one last look at Haven before they went to the Factory. Whether it was one last look before the Factory was destroyed or One last look before everybody was doomed...it didn't matter. They hopped on the elevator, and waited for the greatest battle of their lives.

But what they didn't expect was that there were more than just them down in the factory.

Finally...Chapter 3: Part 2: Factories and Fiends, and friends

"HEY, WAIT!"
The Elevator to the Munitions factory was stopped by another Knight.
"Huh?" The Knight stepped onto the platform. "Who are you," Sarons asked. "Name's Niro, I'm a Recon Ranger. I was told to accompany you and the Gremlin in the Factory." Sarons looked unamused. "So Rhendon didn't just trust Raz and I to take out Project Roarmulus?" "Hurts, man." "Not that way. I've seen the Ins and Outs of the factory, and--" The elevator started. "--I could prove useful in combat! Also, I've heard your triumphs and feats, Sarons. And even if you did all those alone (with Lynn's advice), even with a Gremlin, you would still most likely die." Sarons's mood changed. "Well, if you put it that way...welcome to the Team, Niro. 'Lynn, add Recon Ranger Niro to the Transmissions.'" "'On it.'"

Lynn looked at a screen showing Sarons' point of view. "Lynn, can you get the map up for us?" "Got it, Sar. Good to be back here." Lynn looked down, the Jelly Cube in the lab by her seat. It looked happy. Lynn looked back at the screen, scanning the area around the 3 for any monsters. She picked up a signal, but it was...another Knight's signal. "Sarons...there's another knight down there...I'm checking it's status." The screen brought up the look of the knight. It was missing an arm, was wearing Cobalt, and had blood over it's visor. "Here, check it's status out."

While battling the robots and gremlins, something popped up in Sarons's visor. Immediately, he looked Terrified. "He survived?! OK, we need to HURRY." "What's the rush, Sar?" "Yeah, no need to run, it's just a damaged knight." Niro and Raz looked confused. Sarons turned to them, now desperate to get out. "That guy's not a knight. He's a nightmare in the form of a Knight, and he wants me dead. DEAD. And if he finds out I'm here, with other people, he'll--" "Kill you all." Sarons's hope shrank. He turned around, to the Blood soaked Visor wearing Knight. "...Ever think of wiping your visor any time soon?" "..." "I mean, we aren't Gremlins, except for Raz, but he's on our side! You can help us, we need to stop Seerus before Project Roarmulus is activated and finished!" "..." The One Armed Knight wiped his visor with his hand, and looked at the people in front of him. His eyes showed nothing but hate. "It would have been easier on you if you were just a gremlin who made me lose my arm...but to think you're a Spiral Knight..." The Knight and Sarons clashed blades. "YOU GUYS KEEP ON GOING, FIND THE WAY TO PROJECT ROARMULUS!" "Roger that, Sarons!" "We'll avenge you! I mean, unless you don't die." Raz and Niro ran off.

"Sarons, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! I've seen this Knight in combat, he's absolutely Berserk, you won't stand a chance!" "I can do this, Lynn. I'm turning off the transmitter, give Niro and Raz a hand." Lynn looked worried. She couldn't let her best friend just die in combat with another knight. "I can fight him, Lynn. I fought him before." Lynn stayed silent, watching as the screen turned blank, a last message being typed down. 'Farewell, Lynn. May we meet again, my friend.' She typed something in, switching to Niro's view. "Niro, Raz, this is Lynn Avry. Sarons gave me his last order to assist you two through this place. Let's get to work." "Roger that, Lynn." "You're the boss, Avry."

Sarons and "One-Arm" fought valiantly. "Y'know, for a guy with one arm, you're pretty tough." "I trained up after you destroyed my other." "I didn't even get your name." Sarons jumped out of the way from a Missile Launcher, One-Arm slicing through it. "Just call me whatever you wanted to, my name has no importance to a fool." "Ok, One-Arm." Sarons sneered, only to be hit by a Thwacker. The two were surrounded by Gremlins, all kinds, and their robots. And there were even Darkfang Troops. "Well, this isn't a good end for either of us." "For you, at least. I've faced worse." "When you had both arms, that is. Allow me to assist you." "...Fine. But you're mine after." The two charged up spin attacks, the Gremlin Hordes surrounding them, getting closer. "See you on the other side, One-Arm." "...You too, Sarons."

Niro and Raz were experiencing lesser problems. Things like holding off armadas of Scuttlebugs, Retrodes, Mecha Knights and Ironclaw Thwackers and Menders. "Lynn, how long until the waves are done, so we can get out of here?!" "Only a Minute or two more, just keep holding them off!" "EASIER SAID THAN DONE, ANALYZON!" Raz cut through a group of Scuttlebugs, only to be countered by Retrodes. Niro slashed through those, and the two were surrounded by Mecha Knights and Gremlins. "This is the last wave, just make it through! I know you can do this!" Niro pulled out a Stun flask, and threw it at the Gremlins. Raz then cleared a path, Niro keeping the enemies back. "We make a good team!" "Yup. Now LET'S GO!" The two hurried towards the elevator, just making it. "Good job, guys. The project's up ahead."

Lynn stepped away from her Screen to take a breather before the inevitable. Rhendon came up to her. "So, Lynn, what's the status so far?" "Niro and Raz have made it to the final elevator." "What about Sarons?" Lynn's good mood dropped, her face looking devestated. "...Oh." "...H-He turned his Transmitter off before fighting this missing Knight. I checked the Knight's data, and they appear to have gone insane." "...No way...so he's still out there. I thought eventually he would have run out of power, or would have been dismantled...Lynn, I want you to keep guiding Niro and Raz." Rhendon turned to leave. "Where are you going, Rhendon?" "To meet an old friend."

Sarons and One-Arm sat there, crowns and heat surrounding them, which rested upon Gremlin corpses and Robotic Husks. "I guess...you'll be killing me now?" "...After I rest up, you'll be as dead as the bodies around us." "Well give me a second, so it's a fair fight!" One-Arm let out a bit of a chuckle. "...Hm?" "...What?" "I heard you laugh. Are you softening up?" "No. We're robots, we aren't made of fabric." Sarons laughed. "You aren't too bad, One-Arm." "...You're...tolerable." Sarons got up. "Well, time to show my friends that you have managed to not kill me." "...Seerus will kill you if I couldn't." Sarons went to leave, but stopped. "...What?" "Seerus...he built the Twins to be the ultimate weapons, nothing can damage them. They're his Second greatest creation, according to what he has said to me." "You...you spoke with Seerus?" "Yes...I'm his greatest creation, after all."

Rhendon had touched down into the factory, to find it was deserted. A Group effort, probably caused by Niro, Raz, Sarons and the other Knight. "Now then, let's see if Seerus still controls you, Neko."

Phew, sorry for the long hiatus.

God, I need to be more scheduled. Hopefully this was worth the wait, and if not, then I'll have the climax on a gold platter, piping hot, right out of the oven, topped with pepperoni and cheese, and all that jazz.

Chapter 3: Part 3: Triumph over the Twins

(Screw it, I'm making this now.)

"...Explain, One-Arm." Sarons sat back down, looking at the Knight who he Befriended. "Seerus...he made me. More specifically, he modified me. I was a Spiral Knight, much like you. I seemed to be famed for my heroics in the Rescue Camp. But one day, I was ambushed by Gremlins, Ironclaws, stronger than I had ever faced. I was Defeated and Powered down, and brought to Seerus. He took one look at my design and had his army get to work. My arsenal was changed, my weaponry even more powerful than before, and even my own physical form changed." One-Arm took off his arm plating. The arm was even more Robotic than anything Sarons had seen. "He gave me a new name, Mecha-Ko. I was reborn, now under his control. I returned to the Rescue Camp, and Struck, killing off any Knights I saw. Rhendon looked at me and knew who I was. I fought him, and lost. I returned here, but something felt different. My programming changed. The Gremlin control chip had broken from the battle, and now I felt nothing but hatred and anger, my only relief coming from the death of those who wanted to control me. I came here, because I knew you would be here, and after you made me lose my arm, I wanted nothing more than the same pain that I dealt to those before. But now I see you want to do the same thing as I." Mecha-Ko put his plating back on, and got up. "I no longer wish to fight you, Sarons, slayer of Beasts. Let's go and destroy Project Roarmulus." Sarons got up. "I couldn't agree more." Sarons smiled, and the two ran off.

Rhendon looked throughout the factory. Nobody to be seen, until he saw two Knights, running towards the elevator. One looked familiar...it was Sarons. But the other...was that...? Rhendon ran after them. "Hopefully having only one arm didn't affect you too much..."

Niro and Raz had reached the final area of the factory, the place deserted of all previous gremlins...except for Seerus. He watched the two walk into his trap. "So you finally made it, Outcast. And where's your Spiral friend?" Raz and Niro looked up at the area Seerus was in. It was a control room. "You leave him out of this, it's just You V.S. Niro and I, so GET DOWN HERE AND FIGHT US!" "Raz, that isn't his plan." The Entrance and exit closed. "I'd love to, but I think it's time you met the twins." Seerus pressed a button, and a loud rumbling was heard. Two Statues rose up from the ground, the shapes of Gun Puppies. "I'd like you to meet the Roarmulus Twins, the destroyers of Haven. But I'm sure they'll enjoy some target practice first! ATTACK!" And the battle began, the Twins starting up, and opening their mouths. Niro watched one, while Raz watched the other. "Let's do this."

Mecha-Ko and Sarons stopped for a break. "This is a huge factory, how do the Gremlins traverse it?!" "Dunno, but they probably have some sort of map." Suddenly, a noise was heard, a voice, from afar. "Hey, Sarons! Who's your friend?" Sarons looked up, and saw Rhendon from afar. He looked surprised, but not really, considering Rhendon's competence in battle. "Boy am I glad to see you. This is Mecha-Ko...apparently he knows you." Rhendon stopped running, and looked at Mecha-Ko. "...We meet again, Neko." "Rhendon...I hope you know that I'm on your side this time. Especially considering you knocked the Gremlin Control out of me last time. You can thank Sarons for helping me lose this arm." Rhendon went to look back at Sarons, only to notice he was gone. A voice came out of Rhendon's transmitter. "'Rhendon, what's your status?'" "I'm OK, Lynn. I found who I was looking for." "'What about Sarons?'" "I'm sure he'll be fine."

Lynn looked worried. Sarons' Transmitter hadn't come on yet. Was he really dead? Or did he just forget? He couldn't be dead, Sarons has gone through worse, she thought. She looked through the lab. The rest of the Workers had gone into panic. "Oh, please hurry. I feel like we're running out of time."

Sarons looked back at Rhendon and Mecha-Ko. He was considerably far away. "Sorry guys, I need to settle the score with Seerus alone." He jumped down the elevator shaft, trying to slow his fall down by sliding off the walls. Eventually, he landed at the bottom. The Twins were started up, and already were firing. They looked like no damage was dealt. "If nothing can hurt it...I wonder..."

Raz and Niro were almost done for. They were growing weak, and the Twins were taking no damage. "How are we supposed to fight this thing...it's invincible!" "Exactly the point, my friends. So just give up, and let Haven be destroyed!" Seerus watched from his control room. The Twins were perfect, nothing could hurt them, except...he looked around, and it seemed like that was all. "HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, SEERUS!" He looked down, and saw a new challenger in the arena. "Well, well, well...back for revenge, I assume?" It was Sarons.

"More than revenge, for what you've done to my friends! Mecha-Ko, Raz, Niro...you know, you can't just go around hurting people like that!" "I'm the VILLAIN, what did you expect?!" The Twins looked at Sarons. "Well...looks like it's up to me. If this doesn't work, then they ARE Invincible. Missiles were launched from the Twins. Sarons took out some from each side, letting others pass through. When they hit the other Twin, that Twin's defenses would go down! "YES! My theory worked! Now to start fighting." Sarons took out his sword and attacked the Twin. Seerus looked down upon him in anger. "HOW DID YOU FIGURE THAT OUT?!" "Dunno. All Video Game Bosses have a weakness." "THIS ISN'T A GAME, STOP TREATING IT LIKE ONE!" Sarons snickered, then started to fight more. "Start Phase 2, I want the Knight's head on my wall!" The twins began moving. "Oooh, Spicing things up, Neat." "How about we even the odds, Seerus?" Two other Knights landed by Sarons, and Seerus recognized both. "Well, if it isn't my LEAST favorite creation."

Mecha-Ko looked up at Seerus. "YOU'RE FINISHED, SEERUS! ONCE I'M DONE WITH THESE, YOU'RE NEXT!" Rhendon standed back-to-back with Sarons. "Just like back in the Chasm, right, Sarons?" "Heh, yep." The two jumped at the Twins, Mecha-Ko escaping the arena and trying to find a way up to Seerus. "Let's try Phase 3. READY THE LASERS!" The Twins charged up attacks, Rhendon and Sarons out in the open to be hit. They fired, and Rhendon pushed Sarons into a Safe zone, taking the hit. Rhendon was down, and Mecha-Ko was already near Seerus. "Time to put this thing into autopilot." Seerus let the machine do it's thing, so he could face Mecha-Ko.

All transmissions were out. Lynn was Terrified. Suddenly, the Transmission screen for Sarons lit up with a new message. 'How about we finish this together, like old times?' The Screen turned on, Sarons' pov camera up and running. "SARONS! OH, THANK GOD YOU'RE ALIVE!"

"Now's not the time, Lynn. Get me some info on the status of these Twins!" "O-On it!" Immediately, their statuses popped up. 'TWIN 1: 20%. TWIN 2: 17%.' "Awesome. Now it's time to finish this fight!"

Mecha-Ko crashed into the control room, with Seerus waiting for him. "Well, I guess we can begin, Mecha-Ko." Seerus pulled out his Hammer, and slammed it into Mecha. Mecha was prepared, and braced himself. He pulled out his sword, and began attacking Seerus. During this, Seerus hit a Self-Destruct button, meant to destroy the Factory. Time was running out.

Sarons landed the final blow on the twins, and he was badly damaged. He gave Niro some energy, reviving the Powered Down Knight. "W-What happened?" "I saved Haven. Here, you get Rhendon." Sarons picked up Raz, and ran off towards the elevator. He placed Raz's body down on it, Niro doing the same with Rhendon. "Wait here, Niro. I need to get the other guy." "The other guy...you don't mean..." Sarons was gone.

Seerus had beaten Mecha-Ko. "See, you were always my worst creation. And you'll be nothing more than that." Seerus threw Mecha into the flaming Battlefield, which was now collapsing with the rest of the facility, just when Sarons came by. "Ready my escape route. I've got buisness to take care of." Seerus jumped down behind Sarons, and charged up his hammer.

"KO!" Sarons yelled to the Knight, who was badly damaged. "DON'T WORRY, I'LL GET YOU OUT OF HERE!" But before he could go, something was charging up behind him. He turned around to see Seerus, with his Hammer, fully charged. "Have fun sleeping with the Dead, Sarons, and may we never meet again." Seerus slammed the Hammer into Sarons's body, knocking him towards KO. Sarons was Unconcious. "HAHAHA! Victory is mine, even if my Project was blown up! I'm out of here!" "'Sarons, wake up! You're gonna die!'" Mecha-Ko got up, and walked over to Sarons. "Remember me, Sarons. And maybe we will meet again, another day, another time. Farewell, my friend." Niro ran up to the arena, to find it was almost destroyed, and Mecha had Sarons in his hands. "Take Sarons, Spiral Knight. And may the glory of Cradle guide you all to victory." Sarons was thrown to Niro, who ran off with him towards the elevator. Mecha-Ko was left there to fall into the Clockworks, until he finally would land.

Finale: Heroes of Haven

"No sign of Internal damage, but a huge broken part in the visor." Niro checked over Sarons's body. "Good, we can get that fixed up easily. How about you guys?"

Raz sat there, tinkering with Rhendon's body to power him back on. "We're good. Rhendon should be on soon." "I still can't believe it. We saved Haven." "Yup." Light was beginning to form in the elevator, Haven getting closer. In a jolt, Rhendon powered on. "...Can somebody explain what happened after I was shot by a laser?" "Sarons came in and saved the day." "...Fair enough. So...we're just heading to haven?" "Yup." "Wait, where is--" Rhendon looked at Sarons' body. It was powering on, despite the broken visor. "...Ugh..." "Oh, I didn't mean to power you on!" Sarons looked around. "...Where's Mecha?" The place fell silent. The elevator finally reached haven.

Crowds of Knights were cheering, Celebrating the victory over the Ironclaw Faction and the destruction of the Twins. Soldiers saluted the Crew, and Haven was full of cheer. The four returned to the lab, the Knights in there also celebrating. Lynn ran down and hugged Sarons. "OHGODTHANKGODYOU'REALIVE!" Sarons smiled. "Y'know, I've been through these tough times before. I think I could handle another." "Yeah...but you still scared me." She let go, and followed the others to the Hall of Heroes. "C'mon! The ceremony's almost started!" Rhendon stayed at the lab, to help with fixing things up. "I think I'm done with this adventure. Enjoy the ceremony!"

There they were, standing at the entrance to the Hall of Heroes. It was quiet. Nobody was outside of the Hall, except for the four. "...Let's go." They opened the doors, and walked in. People stood there, waiting. The four walked through. Salutes from the sides. Silence. The four reached Barrus. "Well done, Sarons and Co. You've saved Haven from the Roarmulus Twins and Seerus. I grant you all Four-Star Certification. May you be our Saviors again." The four recieved their Crests. The crowds cheered. "You all may now enter Tier 3 of the Clockworks. Farewell for now." The Wardens saluted to the Four heroes as they left.

"Sarons, are you coming? We're going to a party at the Garrison!" Sarons smiled, but shook his head. "You guys go on ahead, I'll probably join you all later." "Alrighty, see ya!" Lynn, Niro and Raz took off, and Sarons strolled to the Arcade. It was quiet, everybody was at the Garrison. He looked on at the clockworks, and thought about where Mecha-Ko could be. Possibly a lot further than he'd ever explored. He then checked his Missions List, and sat down. He thought about what he was searching for, and finally typed in "Seerus". Only one result showed up: "Operation Crimson Hammer". Sarons thought for a second, and looked at the Grand Arsenal. "...You're going to pay, Warmaster Seerus."

Phew.

I managed to finally finish it. Despite the fact that this is probably worse than most of the stories here. And yet...I still have ideas. I think I'll make another...

Yes...another...
