New chapter

Yup. That's what I'm talking about.

Chapter 11
Fripper's Perspective
I wearily stumbled back into the apartment the Order provided for me and Tamara, exhausted from the events that happened a few hours ago. The knights I had to rescue almost tried to kill me, but they were too weak to do as much as a scratch to me. It did take a while to explain that I was rescuing them, and i had to take a lumber arm to the head to gain their trust, and I could still feel my head aching. I pushed open the door to my apartment, and was instantly squashed when Tamara hugged me so hard. "I thought you were dead!" she cried. True, the knights made me sit and rest when I took the hit from the lumber, almost up to half an hour. I gently took her arms off around me and told her that Ozlo wanted to see me. She insisted on coming, and I said, "Sure, why not."
I knocked on the door, and heard Ozlo say, "Come in." I opened the door, and saw him waiting. Feron stood next him, a permanent scowl on his face. Ozlo, however, ignored him and turned instead to congratulate me. "Well, I suppose that this makes up a little bit for the amount of Vanguard knights you killed, but we grateful for your service to the Order. Now, what was your business here, again?"
Yet again, I told him the dream that I had, a burned up Colony, Vog himself coming to share ominous words with me. Ozlo was politely listening, while Feron wore a disbelieving look on his face.
"Now, I'm requesting your help to kill Tinkinzar. I helped you out with your squad, so it's only fair that you help me out as well, right?"
Ozlo considered this. "Well, you're right-"
"We don't have any reason to help out the gremlins," Feron interrupted. "What have they done for us?"
Ozlo shot a sharp look at him. "Fripper has helped us rescue a squad of brave knights from dangerous territory," he reminded. "Don't forget that one of those knights was your friend Harry." Feron fell silent, knowing that Ozlo had struck a soft point. "Anyways, Fripper, I already have the best squad just for you," he paused. "How would you like to work with the knights that you just rescued?"
"I think that's an excellent idea, Ozlo."
Now, hold on a second here!" That was Feron. He was glaring at me from his position. "These knights just got home, and now you're sending them off into danger again?"
Ozlo sighed. It occurred to me that he must not like Feron any more than I do in a mood like this. "I already made up mind, Feron." With his hand, he motioned us away. "You should go and meet your squad, Fripper. I do expect that you get them away safe and alive."
"Of course, Ozlo."
----------------------------------------------------------------------In the Briefing Room---------------------------------------------------------------------
I walked in with Tamara, and saw a familiar looking group of 4 knights, ones that I rescued mere hours ago. The only female noticed me and said to the others, "There he is!" They all turned, and smiled at me. I examined them a bit more carefully, now that there weren't bullets whizzing around and things trying to kill me anywhere near. One I noticed was tall and strong. Definitely has been a swordsman for a greater deal of his life. The female was slimmer, and had two Argent Peacemakers strapped to her belt. A gunslinger. The youngest person in the group obviously spent his life like mine. Shrouded with secrets. Of course he was a Recon. The last person had a fiery Vog set, as well as many bizarre modified weapons strapped all over his body. His back, his chest, and his belt were covered with weapons. He seemed to be the leader. He was the first to extend his hand. "Hey, I'm Harry." So this was Feron's friend. The female introduced herself as Kara, the recon was Jordan, and the swordsman Mitch. I introduced Tamara, and this time, I didn't hide the fact that she was my girlfriend. They weren't that surprised, considering that we were really close to each other, and that I had one hand on her shoulder. Now, we were ready for Vog's challenge.

well well well

Time for summarizing! /shout "It's hero time!" *Cough* Ahem.......

So Fripper saves these guys from Legion of Almire, danger mission, but the squad doesn't believe him and shoots and attacks him. A lumber.....(There isn't lumbers in Legion of Almire.....) hit him, making the squad gain Fripper's trust. They go back to Haven, Tamara hugs him to death, and they go to Ozlo. Feron scowls at Fripper, while Ozlo is patient. Harry, squad leader of that squad, is Feron's friend, so therefore, Ozlo hits a soft point. So after getting out of a danger mission, they go 'back into the danger', or so Feron says. /shout to Feron. Hey Feron! Spiral Knights go to Danger all the time! Why are you freakin' worried about your friends now? You gay or something?' well, anyways. Fripper and Tamara meets the squad, blah blah blah, and they are ready for Vog's challenge.

P.S I just read the paragraph ONCE. When I wrote the summary I didn't look at it once more. so......... Good for me, I guess.

This is Summary-Master Topoyozariane, signing off. /salute.

Chapter 12
Fripper's Perspective
A few sunrises ago, me and my party set out back to the Colony. It wasn't easy, though, because Tinkinzar probably had some sort of sense that thought that I was coming for him. Mecha knights and gremlin patrols were constantly pounding on us, and while they weren't inflicting terrible wounds, the patrols were popping up at the most inconvenient times. In fact, I was bandaging up my arm, which was scraped my the Mecha Knight's sword. I really had to depend on Harry and Mitch though, because I wasn't that great of a frontline fighter. Finishing up my bandage, I roused the group, and we set out yet again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------Nighttime------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We had set up a camp a few hours ago, and we set watches up constantly. No one could imagine when another kamikaze patrol would pop by to say hello. It was my turn to watch, and I could hear the snoring of our other party members. Suddenly, Kara the slim gunslinger came out. I greeted her, and she nodded in return. "I'd better keep you company," she said. I didn't object, so she sat down next me me and sighed. "Do you really think that this is our fate?" I knew what she was talking about. Slaying Tinkinzar would be no simple task, one that no knight has ever attempted, let alone a gremlin.
"Yes, I believe it is. Vog himself came to me, so this must be our destiny."
She considered this, then nodded. "Anyways, changing subjects, how's everything going between you and Tamara?"
I smiled a little. "Very well, thank you. And what about you and Harry?"
She gasped. "How did you know?"
I chuckled. "I've spent years and years investigating people, and I know exactly who you like, by examining your movements."
She smiled as well. "Well, shouldn't be too surprised. You are, or was, the Shadowmaster anyways."
We sat there together for a moment, looking at the stars. "You should get back to bed now. I still have work to do." She submitted, and crawled back into the tent. Ten seconds later, three shadow bullets went into my shoulder, somewhere from the darkness. It was a silenced Sentenza, and it hurt like hell. Nonetheless, my years of training kicked in, and I rolled over, cloaking myself at the same time. Two more bullets disintegrated the rock that I was just sitting on. Creeping over towards the direction of the bullets, I didn't notice the Bomb at my foot, or at least until I stepped on it. The world turned upside down, and I sank into unconsciousness.

Wow.

Nobody comments? Screw you then. But I'm still writing chapters.
Chapter 13
Fripper's Perspective
I groggily woke up in an unfamiliar environment. Where was I? Strapped to a chair, with super strong ropes. The last thing I remembered was stepping on a bomb of some sort, being knocked out, and ending up here. I checked my legs. Still intact, so the bomb must've been a haze, not a high damaging one. Even so, I wasn't in a great situation.
The door creaked open, and a very familiar shape walked in. It was the King of the gremlins, wearing a sneering look of triumph. "Well, look at what we've got here. A traitor sniffing around the Colony, hm?"
"I'm not the traitor, you are." Immediately, I felt a solid smack on my face, and tasted blood.
"You will not talk to me in that fashion, Fripper,"he said angrily. Then he visibly relaxed. "Maybe we should teach you a lesson. I never really liked you in the first place, and it'll do me no harm to simply just kill you."
I laughed. "You can't and won't kill me. You don't have the guts to do so."
"Ah, maybe not visually, but I do not need to see you die, only the reassuring fact that you are. We should make it a slow death, something rather painful, emotionally and physically."
"What in Vog's name are you talking about?"
"You'll find out. In time." He laughed, then got serious again. "My scouts told me that they saw you working with knights. Is this true?" I didn't speak, so he took out a strange sinister looking remote, turned a knob, and pressed the big red button. Apparently, the chair was a changeable electric chair, and it hit me just now, literally. The pain was immense, followed by waves of slightly lesser pain. I gasped out from the shock, and regained myself. The king was staring at me calmly. "Are you ready now for my questions?"
"Maybe you should get ready for your mom's butt." Another turn of the knob, another exaggerated press of the button, and even more pain and shock waves. This went on for quite a while, until I was writhing around in my seat, unsuccessfully trying to relieve the pain that was jumping up right to my heart. The king was laughing while this happened, as if it were no more than a movie for him. Soon enough, I didn't even have the energy to lift my head, and it lolled to one side.
"You know Fripper, I'm regretting to have to do this, so I'll stop, unless you start making unnecessary comments again. I think I know why you're here, and I'd love to give you an explanation, before you go cascading down to your death." He cleared his throat several times, and began.
"I know that you somehow know that I plan to destroy Cradle. That much is given. However, what you don't know is that it's for a great cause. You see Fripper, the knights have been polluting our planet, from the surface all the way down to the Core. Crash landing from their ship onto this planet, and then mercilessly killing every living thing known. We already have a few species extinct. Vog Cubs have died, as well as Skolver cubs. There are other species as well, and I've decided to make sure that this happens no more. You may think that I'm insane, but lesser minds like yours cannot see the genius behind my plans. I shall take all of our weapons, piece it together to form a huge bomb, and destroy the surface of Cradle. This will wipe out all living knights on the planet, and we can live regular lives again. Of course, the shockwave from this will most likely destroy the higher elevations, and distur the lower ones. I'm also afraid that the Colony will...perish."
I was shocked and angered from his casual approach to destroy every living thing known on Cradle. "You're seriously suggesting that we should abandon our Colony to perish? Without even a warning?"
He sighed. "Yes, that fact displeases me, but if we don't do this, over time, the knights will destroy even more of our population, and more of us will die. There will be thousands of casualties, but a majority will be knights. Don't you see the logic behind this plan?"
"You'll destroy Cradle itself. All our war machines combined will have enough firepower to kill us all. Do you really want an ending like that?"
"No, but why wouldn't the knights do that later on? Power up their ship again and bomb Cradle?"
"That's because the knights are actually sane!" These words cut at Tinkinzar like a knife. "I knew you were working with the knights. You are a traitor the the Colony, and you deserve to die. And I think I'll do it right now." He took out a shadowy knife, made with pure Dark Matter. "This blade has served me well during executions, and it'll serve me well now. Let's get started, shall we?" As he said that, he moved his knife up to my feet, and made patterns of unintelligible things on my shins. As usual when I'm attacked by a shadow weapon, I begin to feel a sensation of burning pain, along with the feel of death grabbing at my heels. Tinkinzar moved his way up to the thighs, and spent a much longer time at my stomach. He skipped the heart, and stabbed it hilt-deep in my shoulder. Twelve inches of dark matter attacked my blood system, and the pain was unbearable. I couldn't go unconscious, nor could I endure it much longer, and it drove me mad. I screamed curses at him when the blade turned 90 degrees while in my body, crunching bones and ripping up flesh and muscles. Just before I blacked out, he pulled the blade out, and let me watch it drip my lifeline off the edge. It had took on a sickly purplish color, and he forced it down my throat. The taste of my blood was like poison, and I wanted to spit it out, but he forced it down. Finally, finishing with the procedure, he stepped back with a devilish grin on his face. "Ah, this last part will be gruesome, so I won't watch, but you'll feel every second of it. Have fun on your trip to hell." With those words, he turned the knob on the remote to maximum voltage, stepped out the door, and pressed the red button.

I'm back!
So 500 crowns per summary? Awesome!

So...... It's 1000 crowns if I do two, right? So here goes:

Blah Blah Blah, Fripper, Tamara and knights go Gremlin hunting. BUT, Royalty Gremlin King Tinkinzar SOMEHOW knows that they're coming, so he sends patrols and stuff. Then blah blah blah, nightime, Kara goes out Flirting with Gremlins. Fripper asks him about Harry, she gasps then she sleeps, Fripper gets shot by a silenced revolver, called SENTENZA! He cloaks, and walks into a friggin' trap. He awakens, strapped to a chair, Kingly-ness comes in, asks him a question, Fripper (An idiot, obviously) yells, GET READY FOR YOUR MOTHER'S BUTT! Then he gets shocked, shocked and his head goes to a side, Royal Gremlin (A.K.A Pain in the butt) writes on Fripper's leg, then goes to his thighs, then somehow I think he's raping Fripper. He twirls it around the stomach, 90 degrees, crunching bones and blah blah blah. Forced the knife down the throat, Fripper does NOT like it, then Pain in the butt shocks him with MAX volatge and waits for him to die.

Chapter 14
King Tinkinzar's Perspective
I smiled coldly as I watched the inside of the house flash blue, and heard the drawn out scrams of Fripper as he suffered from the electrocution. Moments later, his blood from his wounds covered the house. Satisfied, I turned the voltage off before the house caught on fire. I was going to need it again. Then, I put the remote in my pocket, and left Fripper sitting in the chair, if not dead, so injured that he would be finished off by a pack of Wolvers. I walked back to the Colony. There was still some unfinished business to complete.
---------------------------------------------------------Fripper's Perspective--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I puked out blood again for the third time. I knew that I didn't have long to live. The sight and smell of my own blood made my head woozy. I couldn't blackout; the pain wouldn't let me. I just experienced a gigawatt charge, and I was only alive because I had an epic resistance against elemental damage. Even so, the discharge made all of my wounds feel ten times worse, and the shaking disturbed the shadow creeping towards my heart, making it move way faster. I puked up blood again, this time with a flash of light before my eyes, and I vaguely heard the door open and shut. If it was Tinkinzar coming back to finish me off, I couldn't resist, even if I wanted to. I was too weak to actually do anything. However, these gremlins had a different goal.
"Fripper! You look terrible! What happened?" Herex? What was he doing here?
"Sir, he doesn't yhave a long time to live. We'd better get him to the closest hospital." That was Tarn.
"My thoughts too, Tarn, but the closest hospital is in the Colony. He'll die there." I felt my bonds being cut off, and I fell to the floor, moaning with pain. I could sense his alarm as he noticed the terrible wounds on my body. "Who did this to you?" I couldn't answer then, so he changed the subject. "We found a group of knights not far from here. They claim they're looking for you. You'd better check it out. By the way, Tarn finished up his gauntlet, and he's ready to roll, so I think you're safe." I sat up at his words, and immediately regretted it when I vomited up even more blood. "We'd better carry you, Fripper. Tarn, give me a hand."
Moments later, I was more or less back on my feet, though I still needed support. I instantly recognized the knights, although my heart sank when I saw that Tamara wasn't there. Seeing me, the knights leapt up to their feet, and helped me sit down at the campfire. Of course, it was the squad Ozlo gave me for this mission. They quickly reassured me that Tamara went forward to try to find me, but I wasn't relieved
until I saw a familiar shadow walking towards our site. As soon as she saw me, a look of horror came across her pretty face. She quickly insisted that she'd give me some medical treatment before any of us continued. She led me to a small tent, and without a word, started to dab at my wounds with a cloth covered with some sort of medicine. After a while, she looked up at me, grief very obvious in her eyes.
"I can't fix you, Fripper. The shadow is already too deep in your system and traveling too fast. I can slow it down, but unless you get to a hospital, you only have around 3 days to live." She let the news sink in. I was stunned. When she came back, I thought that I was fine, trusting her skills as a healer. I thought that soon, we'd be happy. Now, both our lives would be changed forever. I held out my hands for an embrace, and she silently took it. She was quietly sobbing into my shoulder, and there wasn't a lot of things I could do to comfort her. I stroked her hair, but she pulled out of my embrace and looked at me with tear-stricken eyes. "I don't know what I'll do without you, Fripper."
"Neither do I." For the first time in my life (not including as an infant), I felt tears threatening o slip out. It wasn't really because I would die, it was thinking about how much grief that Tamara would feel. She, on the other hand, let the tears slip out freely.
"I-I never knew what it was like to have a lover. Or a friend, for that matter. If it weren't for you, I'd be stuck in a jail cell, eating glop and drinking sewage. Now that you're dying, I don't know what I'll do.
I nodded, then wondered what she would do once a died. I didn't think about it now, but just simply said, "Let's break the news to the other people."

Derpuraptor strikes back

Just because the other person didn't, -- ch14 summary.
Tarn and Herex somehow made it to the "house" Tinkinzar tortured Fripper in. They said they fought Frip's squad and said they were looking for you. They bring him to the squad, and Fripper isn't happy because there is no Tamara. Then she pops up out of nowhere and is a doctor. She gives him 3 days of life, unless he gets himself to a hospital. Then the sad emotion is awakened in Fripper's brain, and he starts crying because of the pain Tamara will have if he dies. Tamara cries a lot, and Fripper wants to spread news about Tinkinzar's plan (right?) to the "other people".

Also, you mentioned applications, and idc about the screw stuff. I do read, but I do not comment.
Species: Gremlin
Name: Unknown, calls himself the "Roller Toaster".
Bio: An emberlight gremlin with dark reddish clothes and mask that is furious about being kicked from the Colony, and is willing to take revenge. He unlike all gremlins has an unnatural resistance to Dark Matter and Shadow Damage that he pays with a weak overall body. He carries Dark Matter + Ash Of Agni bombs with himself.
Class: Demo (you prolly guessed)
Personality: Loyal to anyone who helps him or he helps, but even a small joking insult and he'll grab you by the throat.

to answer your question about somehow knowing the house

The house of Tinkinzar is known to all CO members. Its an intterrogation room, and Herex uses it A LOT.

About your bio, when You say "unnatural", do you mean he was a test subject, and the resistance was injected into him, or that he was born with it and that it is strange? Sorry, but I get mixed up with these things

@Above His parents were uncousiously test subjects for the Dark Retribution working in Seerus' Grand Arsenal and managed to somehow absorb the bullets, but were hurt bad. The baby was later born with a twisted and furious personality and the resistance. So, technically both.

Hooray!

A bit of news. Well, it's finally summer vacation, and school let out yesterday. Second, I'm back from my sleep, and third, chapters are coming!

Chapter 15
Seerus's Perspective

I could hear the grass rustling beneath my feet, whispering my name. I tried not to make so much noise, but my best efforts were probably Fripper's worst.

Which brings me to my job, I suppose. There's a one billion crown profit on his head, ever since scouts reported that Fripper was still alive from that torturous interrogation room. Although I never really enjoyed Fripper's company, it's pretty hard not to admire his strength. Well, tonight was when that ended. I laid out my plan inside my head.

When Fripper was on guard duty, probably with some other member of their silly party, I would make my move. Nights in the Sky Islands were filled with the barks and chirping of night creatures, so he probably wouldn't hear me. Then, I'll lure him out with a heavy rock and a bush, away from earshot of their camp, then it would be a quick thrust up the jaw and then goodbye Shadowmaster. Satisfied with my plan, I hid myself in some bushes, checked that I had everything that I needed. A shadow knife, a rocket hammer engineered to have half the volume (Not that that would make a large difference), and a Big Angry Bomb just in case things turned out stick and I had o blow my way out of here. Then, I hid among the bushes and waited for dusk.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------Dusk-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I heard the scuffling of feet as their sentries moved into position. I peered over the bushes, and to my surprise, Fripper was only about fifty meters in front of me. Well, so much the better. I initiated my plan, throwing a heavyweight rock into a bush a couple of meters away. Fripper lifted his head, appearing to have heard something. I grinned, then waited for him to move. Unfortunately, he only lifted his head to greet one of his fellow teammates. I muttered some foul gremlin words under my breath, ready to throw my knife at him. Then, the knight walked away, and Fripper walked towards the bush. Finally, I thought. I lunged at him as he bent down and picked up the rock. He rolled to the side, and I slashed at him, opening up a small bit of blood. He took a pocketful of shurikens, and threw them. Three of them embedded into my armor, though it was thick enough to protect me. I threw my knife at him-which he dodged easily, then pulled out my Rocket Hammer. I swung it creating a huge crater in a nearby tree, then it guided me into a lunge and at the same time, a heavyset knight crashed into me and knocked me off balance. I realized that that was probably why the knight came to Fripper, I was rigged the whole time. I threw the knight off, then knocked him back with a thrust of my hammer. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a quick deploy Mecha Knight pad. A Mecha quickly materialized in front of me, and started attacking them. I fiddled with the BAB in my pocket, wondering if I should use it. I shrugged, then pulled it out. Might as well. Then, at that moment, Fripper charged me, causing me to slip and almost fall of the ledge. At the last moment, I grabbed the cliff edge, and held it there. The BAB had slipped from my hand, and fell down into the abyss. Fripper and the knight came over, and some silent agreement came between them. Fripper leaned forward. "Well, Seerus, I knew Tinkinzar would send someone, but I didn't think it would be you."

I rolled my eyes. "Fripper, there's a one billion bounty for your head. The entire colony is scouring the Clockworks looking for you. It won't be long until one of them find you."

Fripper considered that. "Thanks for the info, Seerus, have a nice ride." He cut off my wrist, and I fell sreaming all the way down to the Core.

Alrighty!

At long last, what about 3 people were waiting for, Chapter 16! I'm (not)terribly sorry for the one month wait, but we were installing wood flooring, and I had about 20 minutes on the computer a day, nowhere near enough for a chapter. Now that we finished, I can start writing again! (yay). Oh yeah and Inferno, your character is appearing here.

Chapter 16
Fripper's Perspective
I sighed at the long night. Somehow I had a hunch that Tinkinzar would send someone to kill me. What did surprise me was that it was Seerus. Seerus was a huge fan of panic and loud explosions, he would never had done well in a stealth mission. Whatever was going on in the King's head right now, he wasn't thinking as sensibly as he should've.

Herex appeared from his tent, carrying a holographic tablet. "The King wishes to see you, Frip." I was surprised that he called me my childhood name, but said nothing. I brought the tablet to my tent, and threw it on the ground. A holographic image of Tinkinzar appeared.

He grinned at me. "Well, it seems that you are a hellova lot stronger than I thought you were, Fripper, and I definitely did not expect you to survive that trickeroo with the house."

I shrugged, the memory still clear in my mind. "It doesn't matter. I'll be dead in less than 78 hours."

"Ah, seems that the procedure worked."

"What procedure?" I asked.

He grinned again, this time malevolently. "Did you forget about your Compund Poison 209?" I was shocked. I haven't thought of that in ages, as it was a closed project, but I did now. "Well, it seems that I looted it out of a storage vault, and I must say, it works like a charm."

"Tinkinzar, you pile of wolver dung, did you seriously-"

"Yep." The simple nature of that single word drove my anger forward.

"Tinkinzar, you better watch your back from now on, because I'm coming for you. I don't even care if I fail, you and I are going one on one as soon as I get there."

"Hmm...you will have a hard time. You do realize that knights are hunting you right now. I sent one of my diplomats to Haven, and he told me of my request. Now that they are searching for you, you aren't gonna survive for another day."

"We'll see about that, Tinky."

"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL M-," and I shut off the tablet. And then smiled. Somehow, I knew that Vog was going to help me, so I was fairly confident that I would make it.

--------------------------------------------------------Traveling to Emberlight-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As me and my team arrived at Emberlight, I noticed something entirely different. It was pitch empty, except for a small lone gremlin wearing dark-reddish clothes. "Who the heck-" I managed to start those words before, surprisingly, he charged me and knocked me on my back. "Woah, chill out..um.."

"I know you,"he snarled in my face. The rest of the team tried to pull him off, but he warded them off with a..Ash of Agni? Never seen a gremlin carry that, but it didn't matter now. He turned back to me. "You're that bloody Shadowmaster. You kicked me out of the Colony. It's all your fault that I'm here!" He struck me, but I noticed that I was barely bruised by it. I pushed him off easily.

"Look, I was kicked out too, so we're in the same boat."

He looked curiously at me. "You were?By who?"

"Tinkinzar."

"Oh. huh. And-"

"He gave me the orders to kick you out. Said that you bomb testings were giving him a headache."

"That stupid bast-"

"Yeah. So you want to help me kill Tinkinzar?" I looked briefly at the rest of my party, and saw they all agreed.

"Well, what're you waiting for? Let's get down to the Colony."

........So a hell of a lot more dialogue than I planned, but I think it's still good. Enjoy, 3 people.

Aha, nice. Nice. I like the way you did it, and that Tinky part, but it wasn't clear who said what in the scene with my character. I got lost there for a bit.
When can I/we expect the new chapter?

I would really appreciate some more readers, but oh well. New chapter below:

Chapter 17
Herex's Perspective
I had gave Fripper the tablet, but what I didn't tell him was that Tinkinzar offered me several million crowns if I helped kill him, and although all the Crimson Order members were rich, 20 million crowns was a hard offer to take down, even if it did involve one's best friend. I honestly felt pretty bad, but my compound needed upgrades, and I definitely needed them or the Knights would destroy the real one. So really, I had little choice. I counted the list of what I needed to do, and started out that night, when I insisted that Fripper should take first watch, and I would help him. The thought of those 20 million crowns quivered in my head. Now, all I had to do was wait for the chosen assassin.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------That night-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I waited for the assassin, which actually came a good amount of time after midnight. A shadowy figure slipped before my eyes, then walked up to me. I checked that Fripper didn't see, was satisfied, and walked up to the guy.

"So, you must be Herex. I'm the new Shadowmaster, Voidist. And you know what we're doing tonight, right?" He whispered, so softly I almost had to lean in to hear.

"Yes."

"Alright, so here's the plan-" His eyes rolled into his head as a hand, moving incredibly fast, smashed him in the neck. He didn't make a sound when he crashed to the floor. I leapt up, and saw Fripper, calmly looking at me.

"Fripper! What are you-" That was as far as I got before he grabbed me by the throat and threw me against a tree.I groaned as the hard, almost artificial bark connected with my back. He then held me there, and produced the tablet.

"Well, what you did seem to forget was that all the recording is remembered in this tablet. I played through the entire thing and saw Tinkinzar talking to you. 20 million crowns, eh?"

"Look, Fripper, this isn't what you think it is," I stammered. I knew that Fripper was dangerous, and had no heart towards everyone who tried to kill him.

"Then what is it?" His tone was questioning, but his eyes were completely frosty. I felt a sharp jab at my arm, and felt my warm blood flow down. "I do suppose that it must mean something completely different from the fact that you agreed to help kill me. If you really are going to betray your best friend for a few million crowns, then you will have to pay the consequences." He kicked me in the stomach towards the elevator,and threw his knife, aiming directly for my leg. It embedded itself into the flesh of my shin, and he threw another knife towards the down arrow on it. I only had a split second to see that the next level was a Graveyard, before it plummeted down.

--------------------------------------------------------------Fripper's Perspective---------------------------------------------------------------

I watch the elevator's descent to the Graveyard, and smiled quietly to myself. It didn't matter much to me, but it would for him. A handicapped person never survived long in a Strata 5 Graveyard. "What a shame," I said aloud, then returned to my tent to wake up the next guard.

Summary time! *rubs hands*
________________________

Herex betrays Fripper, and joins up with shadowmaster blah blah to kill him. But Fripper is awesome, so he punches everyone, kills Shadowymastery, stabs and stabs and stabs and stabs and stabs and stabs and sends him down the elevator. Onto the Strta 5 Graveyard. Fun. But Fripper forgot that there was a shield, between the outside world and the arsenal.

Umm...

Since Tarn was a compound worker AND one of the best, he would of noticed Herex hurt and hunt for him at least... or kill Fripper with his Weaponized Arm...

As well as a new chapter. Because I don't add things anymore. So 100th post! Yay.

Chapter 18
Herex's Perspective

My leg was sending up waves of pain, both from Fripper's dagger as well as the hard fall. Unluckily, I landed on the same leg that the dagger was embedded hilt deep in. I knew that I had to get that knife off or else it would only get worse, although I also know that pulling it out too quickly caused a lot more bloodflow. Therefore, I had to tug it out inch by inch. It was all working well until I reached the tip. It somehow refused to budge, however much I coaxed it. I put a little more strength into it, and it pulled out, tearing a huge gash with it. Now I knew why. It had been ages since Fripper showed me this, in fact, I believe the last time was when he first started his training, when he wasn't the cold blooded assassin that he became later. I now remembered that there were jagged barbs on the tip, making pulling it out ten times more painful. It certainly had an effect on me, although something confused me. I knew he was quite capable of throwing the knife right between my eyes, though somehow, he didn't. He couldn't have missed;he never did. It didn't matter now. Now my problem was getting through this graveyard crippled. Just then, the elevator came down again, and to my surprise, Tarn stepped out.

"Tarn, what are you doing here?" I asked.

"I had to come and get you back, as I'm your number one bodyguard, and the best compound worker, I am pretty much devoted to keeping you alive. At least, that's what it said in my contract."

"What did Fripper think?" I asked, although I didn't expect a pleasant answer.

"He didn't like it, you don't need to be a interrogator to know that, but he let me do it anyways."

"Well, what a relief. Let's get down to the Colony."

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Harry's Perspective -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fripper was worrying me. He seemed to be becoming that cold blooded murderer that he once was. Sometimes, he even ignored Tamara. It was his old side, and I thought that he abandoned it. But then, I couldn't do anything about it, and I probably would meet me death in the Graveyard we were traveling to if I made any comment, so I stayed silent. The graveyard was the level before the Colony, except that Fripper told everyone to wait a few moments for the Wolver Den that would pop up. When it did, we popped in, wrecked it, and got to the Colony. We had set up camp a lot farther away from the Colony, and I sat down in my tent, exhausted. I did everything that I needed to my weapons, then sighed. There was so much going on, and with Fripper only 24 hours away from death, that made it worse.

Kara came into my tent, carrying two cups of coffee. I definitely needed something to wake me up, so I accepted. As Kara turned away, I had a sudden impulse. "Wait, Kara, can you stay here for a while?"

She turned around, puzzled. "Ok..."

"Just sit here, next to me." I gestured towards a fold out chair, which was conveniently placed next to mine. We sat in silence for a while, and then, just to break the silence, I asked, "Do you feel sorry for Tamara?You know that Fripper has been more agitated than ever, and she does seem alone. I know you and her are good friends, but sometimes she needs someone she cares about to ease her troubles."

She considered. "Yeah, she doesn't deserve this. She saved his life on more than one occasion, he does owe her."

"Do you care about anyone that much?" The words fell out of my mouth easily, though I regretted them somewhat once they did.

Kara looked at him, and she knew what I meant. "Yes, I do. Although..." She didn't get another word out before I kissed her, and she kissed back. It lasted for a good five seconds, then I broke away.

"That's good to hear, because I do too," I said.

--------------------------------------------------------------Fripper's Perspective--------------------------------------------------------------------

24 hours. That was all the time I was getting before I had no chance left to finish my job. If I died before I killed Tinkinzar, he would destroy Cradle and the Colony, and even though I was banished, I certainly didn't want innocent gremlins killed. That meant today was the day I was going to finish him off. packed my bags, and without telling anyone, I snuck away on the path to the Colony. I didn't need them to help me. This was my fight, and I would finish it by myself.

So that was longer than usual, and I will have another one out shortly after. I want to finish this quickly and get onto the sorta sequel, but now really a sequel...whatever, you'll find out later.
