Background of the story :

Since the Spiral Order settled in Cradle, they tried to make many things to entertain themselves throughout their long journey in extracting the minerals and trying opening the core. One of these many things were the Coliseum. It had the same purpose as the Roman one, kill your opponents. The Spiral Order has been divided since the Higher-Ups build the Coliseum into two major leagues : The Easterns and The Westerns.
The reason behind this, was the different places where these knights fought, The Easterns fought at the Eastern Hills, and the Westerns fought at the Western Mountains. Both of these leagues had many heroes and famous knights in them, many rivalries were created and they were sportsmanship at the beginning, but the problem happened ! A small argument between an Eastern and a Western caused a big fight that led to a fight between the leaders of the both leagues. How would that affect the community in Cradle ? Who will emerge victorious in the end ? All of this and much more will be revealed in the story, so gear up !

Theme of the story :

The story is written in an elevated style, and reflects the souls of the knights in Cradle, and how do they interact with each other when a problem happens. Egos will be described as a bad thing and that it always leads to the worse. Main idea of the story is about : Loyalty, Ego and forgiveness.

The length of the story :

I am still not sure how many pages I am going to write, but the thing I know, that the story will be Medium-Long in length. I will try my best to write at least one chapter each week, but that may differ depending on my business.

Note : First chapter will come in the upcoming days, so keep in touch !

Note : Westerns = The people who uses US server --- Easterns = The people who uses the EU server.

Note : For the names of the heroes of the story, they will be taken from some characters in-game. Names will be altered so the people with these names don't get annoyed or something, Example : Xxdragneel --> Drag etc..

Note : Hopefully, I will post the notable characters in the story tomorrow, the chapter will be released some days later.

Better idea

why split the players in two camps? And america vs europe would be unfair! American players are far more than european! So here's my idea: ALL players are on west/east (doesn't matter) and fight against ki-knights from the opposing team (east/west) in several missions. How's that? Just sayin'

@Artistbma

Yup, but there's no other solution I can think of.

@Peter-San : Why would there

@Peter-San :

Why would there be a solution if there was no problem ? And I didn't say Americans vs Europeans, I said people who plays on US server and people who plays on EU server, that's all. And it is called Civil War, so 2 camps or sides are required.

Chapter 1 - An unexpected encounter

On 20th of June, Bobby was heading to his favourite restaurant : Spiral Burger. When he got near the restaurant, he heard a loud voice coming out from there. He ran quickly to see what is happening, and it was a shock ! Nali was challenging a knight into toe-to-toe fight. Nali and Bobby were in a bad relationship because of what happened in the last tournament. The draw has put them against each other, and the duel was decided. Nali was eager for winning in any ways, even if it takes him to do something illegal, and he did. One of the rules of the duel, was not using anything other than your sword of choice, but Nali brought his gun, and hid it in his jacket. When the duel started, they sparred for a while, and then Bobby overpowered Nali with two fast slashes. When he saw himself in a tight position, Nali decided to use his winning card. He pulled out his gun and shot Bobby in the knee, then he dashed very fast and gave a final blow with his sword on Bobby. After the match, Bobby protested on that Nali used a gun, but unfortunately, Nali have been prepared for this. Before the match started, he bribed the referee, and sadly, the referee accepted. Thus, a large amount of hatred was made that day, but the leaders of each league ended the fuss, by making the latter shake hands. As Bobby entered the restaurant, he wanted to calm down the people, so he asked Nali to stop :

Bobby : Excuse me gentlemen, but I would like to end this fight right here, right now.

Nali "With a sarcastic voice" : And who are you, to order us ?

Bobby : Nali, I am asking you politely to put down your sword and stop this nonsense !

Nali : Would you please mind your own business ?

Bobby : This place isn't yours, you can't do whatever you want. Get out from here and fight anywhere else.

Nali : Make me do it !

Nali unsheathes his Rapier and takes a step to the back, preparing for a fight. The knight that Nali was fighting with, exits the restaurant and most of the people did the same. Bobby wasn't expecting this to happen, thus he didn't bring any weapons with him when he left his home. Suddenly, a knight enters........

Chapter 2 - The signs of a disaster

A knight enters, stopping Nali from attacking, and shouting :

Knight : Master Tim is near from here !!! He is heading to the restaurant.

A short silence...

Tim enters with his bodyguards, and stares at Nali. He looked around himself, and made sure that the restaurant was empty.

Tim "Serious Voice" : Bobby, can you explain what is happening here ?

Bobby : My lord, I was trying to end a fight here, but seems that there is someone who doesn't want things to go well.

Nali : You are the one who started, silly.

Tim : How dare you insult my comrade in front of me ! Nali, I demand an apology from you, now !

Nali : So that's how it works, huh ? Bringing the Big-Boss, I swear you are going to pay when Hades know about this.

Tim : He will probably stay quiet like he did in the tournament, pfftt....

Nali : We will see. You will regret it, I'll make sure you do.

Nali sheaths his sword, opens the door violently and heads to Fort Scarlet, where Hades is living. Meanwhile, Tim thinks about what will happen, he felt that something really bad will happen this time. He didn't want to make all of this problem, but Nali crossed the borders. He head to Haven for a specific reason, and Bobby follows him. On his way to the fort, Nali met Soli. Soli saw the anger impressions of Nali, so he asked him :

Soli : What is the matter Nali ? Did something bad happen ?

Nali : Bad ? Ha ! A disaster will happen.

Soli : Why is that... ?

Nali : Tim and Bobby insulted us, and Hades. How pathetic.

Soli : What ?! How dare them ! Come, I am going with you.

Then they proceed in their travel. Nali was lying about what happened, because he held grudge against the Westerns, and wanted to finish them. So he decided to exaggerate, hoping for a war to happen, and it was ! When they reached the Fort, Hades greeted them and asked them about their news and stuff etc... After some minutes, Nali decided to tell him what happened. And it was a shock ! Hades said that he doesn't want problems anymore with the Westerns and that he wanted the two leagues to live in peace. Thus, Hades headed to Haven, hoping to meet Tim there and solve the problem.
Meanwhile, Tim reached Haven and went the Spiral Order HQ to talk with Feron. He told him about what happened and that he doesn't want problems to happen again. Feron calmed him down and told him that he will handle it.

When Hades reached the Eastern Forests, he felt that someone is following him. He moved slowly and with cautious, because he feared that they may be assassins or bandits. A figure passed swiftly in front of Hades and turned to his back, Hades couldn't block that attack and he was captured. The person that attacked him, was Vodoo. He wanted to tell him something that is top secret, and even the Spiral Order don't have any idea about it. He took Hades to his cave, and gave him a seat.

Vodoo : Hade, do you know why I brought you here ?

Hades : I am not sure yet...

Vodoo : If you don't know, and you probably do, I work as an assassin. And my job is to kill people...

Hades "With a laugh" : Isn't that obvious.

Vodoo : I was hired to kill someone...

Hades : Ok ???

Vodoo : And this person is...is...

Hades : What is the matter ? Who is it ?

Vodoo : It is you !

Hades : Wait, wait what ?! Who told you to do that...?

Vodoo : It is.....
