Here is my new fanfic, the Fight for Haven! The peaceful Haven has been taken over by strange beings called "Humans" and the Spiral Knights must retreat into the deoths of the Clockworks! They are outnumbered and outmatched, so now they must get the help of their own nemisis, the monsters of the Clockworks! Only with their help will Haven be reclaimed! Ill be taking a break from my other fanfic, but this one will use forum suggested characters and my old characters from the other fanfic! Btw this is from the view of a character that i will be using in my other fanfic! His name is Hades and hes part of the elite Strike team lead by the Knight Tsuna. Oh btw I used the name of a being from another fanfic made by Dragaroth, and I am crediting him. Well, ENJOY!
Chapter 1: Retreat
Just as I returned from the Clockworks, I had to duck to avoid a sword being swung at my head. I had been on an expedition into the clockworks with my friends, and once we took the lift up, the sight in Haven was terrifying. Dead Knights were on the floor of the Arcade, and the last of them, perhaps a few hundred, were fighting these strange creatures. The remaining Knights were all equipped with salvaged weapons from other Knights, but the enemies were far stronger. They were all about 6 feet tall, just as tall as most of the Strangers. They had flowing black and brown hair, and their eyes were glazed over. They were armed with huge guns that I'd never seen before. Their swords hummed with a strange energy, and their guns fired rapid blasts of energy pellets that plowed down Knights in seconds. I was baffled by the sight. These Knights were rookies, new recruits to the Order, and they were being crushed!
Suddenly,the gate next to me hummed, and another elevator rose, containing some young Almirian knights. They were even more scared than we were. Their leader, a Knight named Ares, quickly regained his composure and rushed into the battle, his Vog set gleaming with blue fire. Our group recovered a few seconds after, and we rushed into battle. I charged at a group of these strange monsters and sliced through them with my deadly Acheron. I ran up to another, pulled out my Sentenza, and shot him right in between the eyes. But even with the aid of the new Knights and the strike team, the rookies of the Order were being overwhelmed. I silently cursed myself. At this time of day, all the knights who were at least decent in strength were in the Clockworks. They weren't as strong as the strike team, but they could have hopefully turned the tides.
The leader of our group, Tsuna was racing at the new enemies, his golden wings shimmering with light. He was rapidly shredding them into pieces with his Wild Hunting blade. The brains of our team, Blue was parrying away enemy strikes with her Leviathan Blade. Ace, the fast one was running and cutting through the enemies so fast, they even walked a few feet before splitting into tiny pieces. Still, the young recruits were being decimated, and Tsuna automatically knew what to do. He was my brother, and we understood each other perfectly. He yelled out "KNIGHTS, RETREAT, GET TO THE CLOCKWORKS!" the rookies knew exactly what he was planning, and rushed to the gates, quickly delving into the Clockworks. The strike team held off the monsters until everyone was gone, then we sprinted towards the nearest gate and went into the Clockworks. We saw the monsters trying to operate the gates, but they weren't Knights like us. I sighed. They probably wouldn't get us down here... But who knew...
(this is now from the viewof Striker, heavy hitter of the strike team)
"Darn", I thought. Those.. Things were terrifying... They weren't anything like I'd ever seen... How did those things get here...? *sigh* I shouldn't worry about it... Tsuna has gotten us all safely out of many tight spots before... But HOW could those creatures have found Cradle...? *sigh* We ventured deeper into the Clockworks, trying to eventually get to Emberlight, the Gremlin refugee town... Normally I wouldn't even want to be there just because of those sinister looking Gremlins... They were all refugees... I laughed. We were no better now... We Spiral Knights have lost our original home AND our new one... It was shameful. Refugees... That was all we were now. I stared upwards at the distant light of Haven, and I knew all those dead Knights would never be buried... They would rot in the gloomy shadows of the Arcade. I was seething with anger. My fiery eyes gazed fiercely at the light, and I knew those would Knights would be avenged... Avenged by the new Spiral Order...
