Critzer

Hello, I have found that many good fanfics that I apply to seem to ...well...die (I bring bad luck :3). So I've decided to make my own but i'd like to lay down some rules for those who apply.

1. NO GODMODE . This mean your character cannot be indestructible, unhurt-able, or have no flaws in themselves. No perfect men/women in personality nor physical body or power, there has to be a draw back. You don't have to state them in your app, just pm me if you'd like (Critzer ign).

2. No flying, im sorry, but that defeats the purpose of going through the clockworks as you in a sense can just jump down off the edge and reach the end no problem. it may sound stupid but if I mention the power in the story (which i would have to since you mentioned it in the app), the reader would ask the question "Why take the elevator...?". Teleporting is okay...just a short distance I guess.

3. If i like your app (it has depth) but the power is overpowered, ill let you know to edit it. But dont beg me to let your app flow into the story if you even know its OP. Nor do i like it when people beg me to accept an app if they put no effort into it.

Since this is your app, you choose what goes on, and I may be asking for the app, but you are also asking me to accept it, so you have to give a little to get a whole lot.

Thank you, I will PM you any questions i have about your app if needed.

=====================================App format=================================================

Name:(obvious)

Gender:(Girl guy, idc)

Age:(put whatever)

Looks:(Height(small, med, tall), personnal color, frame if you want, gear as well but that can be discussed in history if they are special (no super custom gear please, like wolver coat with machine guns attached ;3), and costumes and accessories would be a really nice touch.

History/personality : WHATEVER YOU WANT This can mention powers, their life, what they like, and even special gear. It can mention little pets, familiars, whatever, as long as it isn't too OP from the start. A little weakness adds glamour to a story. Make this part as deep as possible please, it helps make the story more dynamic...and long lasting.

===============================================================================================

Critzer wakes up to the buzzing of her door, groaning and punching her bed in discontentment. "I have told you guys not to wake me up like this!" As she gets up, she shivers, heading immediately to the medium sized furnace in the metal room. She snaps her fingers, making a small flame appear in her hand, which she uses this to light the furnace, warming the room. To her, cold is around 92 degrees, the furnace raises it to about 120. She sighs to herself looking around the metal room of confinement, as she begins putting on her garments and such. First her Skolver Coat and Cap, Elite Fast Strike Module and her Heart Pendent. Then comes her favorite costume, a Hallow Tailed Helm with Hallow Glasses, Vertical Vents and a Hallow Fur Coat with Hallow Wings and Bomb Bandoleer. She smiles with glee, doing a single twirl of excitement, the furnace's flame becoming a bit brighter. She heads to the door and knocks on it, only for a flap to open, a pair of green eyes peering in, a wimpish, questioning voice is heard, "Yess...sss..?"

Critzer replies in a sweet voice, "What have I told you about waking me up with that buzzer...? And where is my breakfast...?"

The man's eyes begin to dart from side to side through the viewing square, "Ummm...umm...I forgot...and the stove isn't working...Miss...you'll have to wait a bit..."

Critzer sighs, her aura of flame beginning to show, "I can understand you want me up on time, but I ask you to at least HAVE MY FOOD READY WHEN I DO WAKE UP... and warm.... and delicious.... bring here though..." she replied in an annoyed voice.
The man jumps when she raises her voice, slightly closing the flap to shield himself. Once she finished, he rushes back to the food and brings it to the door and hands it to her through a lower, larger flap in the door. He then quickly closes the two flaps, scuffling away in fear of being burned.
She stands with the pan, holding it out some. She flicks her hand this time, creating a larger blaze and holds it under the pan, heating her breakfast. She notices the camera in the far corner near the roof of the room zooming on her. She sighs again, wondering why she is here, and why she volunteered to live like this. She begins to recall the memories before this day, the days of her past.

Her family was an envious group of people who weren't really good at anything, weren't known for anything, nor did they have a lot of money. They where tired of this state of living. Her parents where hoping to have a boy, but instead they had her, a critical blow to their plan. They named her Critzer, a run off of the word "critical". The only reason they even named her, was because they had to in the facility they where in. Her mother couldn't afford to have another child in the hopes of having a boy, so they decided they'd get a boy by adoption. But this came at a price, so they traded her to a greedy man for his boy. He only wanted a girl because he could put her to work on the streets, begging for money. She grew to the age of 11, her years being miserable and dirty. She was forced by her "father" to lie to other people for money, she did learn a few things on how to get crowns easily, however. But soon she had enough, and ran. She ran and she ran, and she ran, until she found herself on the Skylark at the age of 17. By now, she had joined the Spiral Knights by squeezing through the nooks and crannies of the registration requirements. She had barely been on the Skylark before it crashed down onto Cradle. She, along with many others, escaped in a pod, difference between the others and her is that she landed into a very large amount of Crimsonite, the fire crystal of the Clockworks. The crystals, overcharged with fiery energy, poured a large amount of it into her and the pod, the pod absorbing a majority of it. She survived, gaining a very fiery new crimson personal color and some very intense fire related powers. The only real problem was that she was knocked out for nearly 2 weeks after the Skylark had crashed, due to the Crimsonite. She eventually awoke, the pod still red hot from 2 weeks earlier. She left the pod and headed to where she was told to go.
She arrived to Haven, finding herself broke as usual, tired, and hungry. She was told that she needed to help get to the Core and she did as she was told. She only noticed her new flame powers when she spun around and swung her sword to which her free hand shot a ball of flame into a random direction. She learned how to use these new powers to her advantage and blazed though the levels of the Clockworks, literally. She earned the nickname "Le Flame", as she basically set everything aflame that was in her path. She rose up the ranks extremely fast, mainly by scrounging every bit of crown she could to buy better gear. She soon found herself sitting around doing nothing, until one day she set something... pretty important ablaze and was asked to live in a special metal room; she went in willingly.

She soon falls out of her trance and even jumps up, her breakfast now burnt to a crisp, as the metal door to the room opens. A man in full 5 star gear walks up to her, only saying "Come with me, I have a very special task for you, Le Flame... unless you would like to rot away in here for the rest of your life."
She nods excitedly, grabbing her Magma Driver, Combuster, and Daring Rigadoon, quickly following the man in charge. He takes her to an elevator that she had never seen before. He tells her that she needs to go down, one way or the other. Her only reply is why, but he doesn't answer her, he just pushes her onto the elevator, which begins to head down.

===============================================================================================

Hope that was good for yall, and please send in those apps!

Appy time!

Name: Forrower

Gender: Male

Age:17

Looks: Medium to tall height, Sharp features, almost hawk like. Snarbolax armour set, Gran Faust, Sentenza, Sometimes carries a gravitation vortex. Carries a stolen Crest of Almire. Hacked aura. Prismatic wolver tail. Personal colour = Dark grey.

History/personality : He has quite a dark personality but will make a very strong bond if he trusts the person. Can give you a good laugh is he is in a good mood. He is very agile and can scale trees and walls quite easily. His history is mostly unknown but he was born by a loving and caring family and they kept him, but when his father did something that nobody liked they attacked his father. His mother died of a heart attack a few months later. His parents deaths being so abrupt, he ran away to the streets where he could be by himself. After this, Forrower has been an enemy to many. He has a criminal record but he is very sneaky, stealing things with ease. However he does know that this is wrong and has tried to stop this horrible habit but stealing is a must for his survival other wise he will starve. Once he accidentally stumbled across Moor craft Manor. He clumsily managed to do something which summoned Margrel. Margrel fired curse bullets which defected of crystals of darkmatter. There was then a small explosion and when it all cleared. Margrel was gone. The only evidence of it hapening was a curse symbol eteched into his chest and this still remains a scar to this very day. His power is to let out a curse coloured shockwave but this is an extreme risk as he falls seriously ill and will come close to death if he has used this power. He is also able to fire tiny bullets of curse. These small curse missiles have 70% of causing curse. If coming in contact with elemental weapons or attacks he is very vulnerable to these attacks. He can hold the actual elemental weapons but if he is damaged by this then he is very weak. He describes it as "A bright light that shines too bright when I look at it." And "It burns me when I touch it." He can also control this curse coloured energy to make temporary force fields around himself and anothers. However this is mainly temperory because its weak to elemental damage. Its also weak to shock and fire but great against poison, curse and shadow. If the shield is hit it will develop cracks and eventully crumble away. He is also pretty much immune to curse.

======================================================

I tried to make the curse thing have a few weaknesses to it but if it's OP then please tell me.

Critzer, I knew you could do it!!!

Besides a few grammar errors it's awesome! I hope you like writing, as much as I did, before I kind went plplasfwadsfae... But now that I've read your story, I think I'll tweak Critzer a bit, I wasn't getting her personality right. And yes, at the soonest convenience I'll pick my story back up :D

~~~

Name: Fulgara (Scintilla) [Her Name is Latin for 'Lightning Spark']

Gender: Gurl

Age: 16

Looks: A bit shorter than Critzer. Aqua personal colour. A Seraphic Mail with glittering Moonstones, cut into a hexagon shaped gems (;P), that are embedded onto the back of the 'gloves' on the armor. They take up about half the 'glove'. Oh btw they look like deez , except a much deeper blue, that matches her colour. She wears a miracle hood, that is embroidered with the same sort of Moonstone gems, in place of the stars on the hood. She also wears dusky glasses.

History/personality : Fulgara usually asks people who are close enough to her to call her Spark. She is really shy, and usually, looks down and has her face covered by her hood. When she's really in an awkward situation, she pulls the drawstrings on her hood, shades the hood with her hands and looks away. She speaks pretty quietly, and is pretty stereotypical kind, she won't go around stomping on snipes or something (lol). In fact she often hangs out in that garden place under the advanced training hall, petting the snipes, and feeding them, it's her favourite spot, but when she hears other knights coming, she hides in the vines and sneaks her way out. She usually avoids talking to knights, but when they need help, she's there to lend a hand; she does this so often in fact, she's not that wealthy. As a reminder, whenever you read what Fulgara says, imagine it soft. She also has a necklace that is covered by her armor made from sun silver and has a Thunderball cut into the, yup you guessed it, the shape of a hexagon, it was given to her by *Spoiler prevention is in affect*. Now to her history... Which I will write as a story just for you Critzer :P
~~
Fulgara walked quietly by the Auction House, the place was so lively. People shouting at each other, some advertising things for sale and a group of knights talking and poking and tickling each other. She had been uncomfortable just in the Rescue Camp, but here, everything seemed so scary. She walked over past the fountain and sat down at the step, sighing. Maybe she should just be happy she survived and managed to land safely in the escape pod. A peculiar round bird flew over next to her. Fulgara gave a warm smile, gently petting the bird, which flew off into a place nearby. Curious, she followed, arriving at a tranquil garden. Fulgara smiled, sitting down on the soft grass amongst the other birds.

"Hello there!" A voice called behind her. She jumped, turning around abruptively, scaring the Snipes away. "Sorry, if I scared you... You look new here, need some help getting to know the place?" A Knight in a Skolver Coat and Divine Veil (No I did NOT base this character on me! :3)

"Sure." Fulgara whispered gently.

"You don't talk much, do you?" The Knight helped her up. "By the way, what's your name?"

"F-Fulgara." she replied sheepishly, looking down.

"Oh nice..." The Knight smiled, "Come on, wearing one star armor won't get you anywhere."

"Y-You can call me Spark." Fulgara added quickly.

"Oh, okay..." The Knight replied. "Spark, that's beautiful..."
~~
Well that's a mini intro into how Fulgara works, I hope you can use her well. And because I can't squish this into the story, it seems I should add this based on your story, but her parents did not survive the crash of the Skylark, but she doesn't really talk about it, she doesn't seem to know/care, but of course she cares in her heart <3. Oh How could I forget, why is Fulgara so special? (Hope you don't mind my weird app xD)
~~
"Hold on!" The Knight shouted, both his hands grasping onto Spark's. "I'll pull you up!" he grunted as Spark dangled over the edge of the platform.

"Let go! Hurry!" Spark said, "Before they hit you off the edge too!" The Knight let go of one hand and smacked a gremlin with his Voltedge, sending a crackling of sparks into the air. Tears welled up in Spark's eyes. She pulled out her Proto Sword, and hit The Knight's arm with the hilt. The Knight let out a cry, his hands letting go, sending Spark plummeting down, along with his Voltedge.

Falling, that's all Spark felt, air rushing past as everything became dark, hearing the cry of the Knight as she fell. She felt a whiz of motion next to her as she fell, not realizing that the Voltedge had dropped as well. Then, as Spark slowly slipped out of conscience, she heard the blade split the ground, a cackling of electricity and a flash.
She awoke, in a place that she had never seen, from all the other knights she had heard from, she had never heard of caves in the Clockworks. That's when she noticed several things. The first was a subtle blue glow that illuminated the entire cave. Spark gasped when the realization hit her. She was floating a foot off the ground. She tried to sat upright, and landed on her feet, only then realizing that the entire cave; was made of Moonstone. She walked over to the walls and rested her hand against it, it was cool and yet, tingled with warmth.

"Hello?" She called out softly, but the walls made her voice resound and grow louder as it traveled down the cave."

What was going on? She looked in awe as the place where she left her hand glowed brighter than the surrounding moonstone. She walked around the cave, ignoring the possible dangers, unaware that she was walking closer and closer to the source of the blue light. She rounded a corner and saw it. The Knight's Voltedge was planted halfway up the blade into the ground, beams of light, all shades of blue shooting up from the cracks that the blade had formed. As she approached it, she was aware of a low humming sound, which she thought sounded a lot like electricity. And for some strange urge, she grabbed the hilt of the blade.
The explosion that followed was like a fireworks display. Arcs of energy shot off the blade and up Spark's arm. The whole cave lit up bright as day, zapping echoing off the walls. Sparks of electricity danced off the blade, the cracked ground underneath enlarged, shooting up even more light. The area rattled with electricity flying across the Moonstone cave wall, glimmering like a hall of mirrors. Stunned, Spark could do nothing but hold the hilt of the blade while electricity shot off it as if the blade was a Tesla coil, electrocuting the walls, and having the bolts reflect and fly across the room. Then it exploded again, the Voltedge hurling itself across the cave opening, clattering off the walls, shooting off more arcs of electricity before sliding onto the ground, still spewing sparks of energy. Spark had also been knocked back by the second explosion, but she had somehow been caught in a semi-levitation before she hit the wall. She regained balance, confused. She was literally so shocked she couldn't speak. She walked over and picked up the Voltedge, super charged power humming through the sword. There was a loud thunk and crack over top of her head, causing her to jump in surprise. Then a Fang of Vog (I just got that today! ^^) broke through the Moonstone, the blue ceiling tinged red with heat.

"W-who's there?" Spark cried out. She was answered by a muffle call, but had no idea what was going on. The ceiling cracked, pieces of moonstone dropping to the ground, then the Fang of Vog broke through, breaking open the ceiling, a figure falling down in a puff of blue dust. Spark let out a cry, flinging her hands up to cover her face. A loud crack sounded in the air as a bolt of blue electricity shot out of her hands, flew through the air, crashed into the figure and electrocuting it.

"Aaarg!" Spark suddenly recognized the voice. "Wha-what the!?" The Knight stood up, fazed from the attack as the dust settled. "Spark!? Oh gosh, Mother of Isora, I can't believe you're okay!" He rushed up to her in embrace, only to be hit with sparks of electricity as he got close. "How are you doing that!?"

"I don't know..." Spark admitted, "I'm s-so sorry..." she looked down and gently nudged the Voltedge sliding across the floor back to the Knight. He picked it up, admiring it.

"It's super charged..."The Knight looked back up, smiling broadly, "But you're safe, and that's what counts, come on we're going back to Haven." He jumped up, grabbing onto a rope that had been sitting on the top of the cave roof. "Sorry it took me so long to get down here, I had to find my way as close to where you fell and as low as possible, that's when I saw the giant bolt of lightning erupt from the darkness below, then I saw a fiant blue glow, not too far down, so I had to clear the level, tie a rope and get down here."

"Thank you, for saving me..." Spark thanked quietly.

"We better get back to Haven, you look very shaken up." The Knight said, helping Spark up the rope.
~~

Gosh I can't believe I finished that, sorry again for it being so long, but I just gotta wrap it up ;) So basically, Fulgara, or Spark, can shoot electricty and if near large deposits of moonstone or magnets, can use them to levitate, a real tiny bit. Because I don't want to write a whole novel, basically, the Knight (Which again is 'NOT' me :3) Became really rich by using his super charged Voltedge, which was renamed Fulgar after Fulgara. He helped Fulgara get armor and everything, but she was still relatively young, but now she has her 4* armor and everything. Though she has developed one very crucial skill, under the 'right circumstances' (this is up to you) she is able to go 'god mode' (ha I love defying you, jk) she's not really invincible, but her Armor suddenly turns gold (this was not at all influenced by me seeing people with the storm armor while writing this) her eyes turn gold/yellow the moonstones on her armor turn deep ocean blue as well, and her hood develops a Halo, and of course, that really cool ribbon thing on the Storm Rider Mantle goes around her too. She is able to shoot bolts of bright gold lightning and is incredibly powerful, she also levitates in the air, but not like flying around, think godly/angelic. But like I said, that's reserved for you just in case you want to or not use it. She is of course more of a pacifist and doesn't really enjoy fighting, but is really fast and agile. She has her own Voltedge and a Voltech Alchemer Mk II. And in all technicalities, her power's are like a shock version of Critzer :D

EDIT: Totally forgot her shield >_< It's a great defender, but with, yup, a moonstone gem in the centre.

Omg, okay I'm done, if you made it here, or anyone else, congratulations fro reading possibly THE LONGEST app, ever.

small change...

Forrower also has little curse symbols carved into his hands which sometimes light up a deep purple crimson (the curse colour) when kats or undead are around. He could also have a grandfaust instead of an Archeron but it might be a bit OP cause he's immune to curse...

@Hexlash

Fulgara reminded me of the spell in the game Glory of Heracles, Fulgara, which summons lightning from above, so when I read the name, I automatically read as Lightning :3

==Appy==

Name: Difi

Gender: Girl

Age: 15

Looks: Tall, Blue (kinda)Depressed Eyes. Miracle Hood with Flower and Chaos Mantle with a gifted Volcanic pair of wings. Flaxen blonde hair.

Personality: Androphobic tryhard

History: When she was 12, she was a rape victim. This is what caused her, her depression and androphobia. After that incident, 3 years after, she became a medic, wearing a few pieces of resistance. Around men patients she is very nervous, and/or scared.

...[I don't want to copy Hex, but the app really forces me to]...

~

A knight, heavily wounded and struggling to breath, staggered towards the clinic. He threw open the door, as a medic spoke up.

"Welcome to the clinic, how may I--" Difi began, picking up folders, then as she saw the man, she let go of her papers, and began trembling.

Eh..., she thought. But the man was wounded and no other medics were still at work. Torn, she decided, and picked up the slack. She picked up her papers, and led the man towards a bed. The man laid down, as Difi asked him questions about his troubles. The man had a huge wound on his chest.

"T-t-t-t-t-take of y-y-y-your... sh-shirt..." she stuttered, and the man did so. Then she gasped at the wound, as it was really big.

O-okay... R-remember...

She picked up a cloth, wiping up excess blood. Then she threaded the wound with needle and thread, then bandaged it. She was panting heavily, having to touch the man, but she was happy to have helped.

"Thank you, miss..." the man said.
"...N-no p-p-problem..." Difi stuttered. "J-just... Be c-c-careful i-in the fu-future..."
"No, really, thank you..." the man stood up and patted Difi on the head, which she had grunted, and left, dropping a few bills on the counter by the exit.

~

Despite that event, she is still androphobic, and her weakness is one. Man.

This is going to have some hilarity

Name : Eli

Gender : Indiscernable ; Revealed at times XD

Age: 14

Appearance : Eli's face was...well...girly. He/she wore his/her cream-gold hair long in a ponytail, and is of smaller stature than most (five feet four inches). He/she possesses blue eyes, but they are eyes that cannot see. In order to protect the eyes from damage, Eli has taken the liberty to put on a blindfold, relying still on hearing and feeling. Eli, for his/her size, can move easily in surprisingly large armor. Eli is in possession of an Ironmight Plate Mail, as well as a Mighty Cobalt Helm. When Eli wears a helm, regardless of type, the eyes begin to glow out eerily. Out of the armor, Eli wears the blindfold, a fur winter coat, a white T-shirt, and a pair of jeans. Eli does go barefooted for the majority of the time he/she is out of armor. There is also a curious pair of patches of feather on Eli's back, as if they were clipped wings.

Loadout : Mighty Cobalt Helm, Ironmight Plate Mail, Irongmight Plate Shield, Volcanic Pepperbox, Cold Iron Vanquisher.

Personality : Autocannibalistic when depressed or angry, low self-esteem, sensitive, quiet, sadistic when the opportunity presents itself, polite, intelligent.

Bio:

Eli was a child of a wealthy entrepeneur, one that sold mainly wood materials to Knights and the Strangers. Ironwood, Driftwood, whatever a person needed, the company provided.

Eli was born not without oddities, however. Sprouts of lightweight flesh and bone grew from Eli's back, which were soon shaved off painfully. These muscular growths would come back after a while, slowly increasing in size...

However, when Eli was around 8, the company was brutally attacked by a group of Fanatics disbelieving in the current economic system. They killed everybody, and searched high and low for Eli in the factory. Dead bodies were everywhere, but everything else was stripped off of the factory's walls. Eli was able to survive by cannibalism, something that Eli would never want to face again. The police manage to catch the fanatics, resulting in an explosive shootout, and that was the end of the horrifying ordeal.

Eli had been inside the crumbling factory for about a week, mainly eating his/her own father to survive. Rescuers arrived on the scene to witness the grisly sight, and so they turned in Eli for punishment. And so, Eli's sight was taken away via burning lasers, which left the child blind for a while. Since the sun's rays easily affect Eli's sensitive eyes, Eli wears a blindfold over the eyes.

Eli then moved out about and around Haven, getting food only for a pitiful sight. Some had considered Eli as a possible tramp or a prostitute, to which Eli had no say in. Some of the harsher citizens attacked Eli after dabbling about in their own superstitions, to which Eli had no defense to. They only reason he/she was saved was because of an interfering Champion, one of the strongest Knights in existence. This champion had single-handedly defeated every single attacker, and left behind a hefty sum of crowns. So, Eli used the money to buy armor and weapons, so as to protect him/herself.

Now, Eli is a Defender Elite, taking on the squad role of a skirmisher. However, Eli's blindness soon led to a discharge after that, causing the now grown child to be jobless once again...

However, there was something inside Eli that was not yet ready. A hunger for flesh, a lust for blood...waiting.

Occasionally, the child hears voices every now and then, goading Eli to do an evil deed or two.

~~~

[I don't wanna get left out ;A;] (Be very confused as I use both pronouns for Eli)

Eli stumbled a bit as he was walking through Haven, up the steps to the Arcade. It was a bit of a struggle for him to go up the flight, but his familiarity with the layout of the town was all he needed. As he reached the top of the steps, a cheery voice was heard from behind him.

"Need help?"

Oh Vog...

The voice in particular belonged to one of Eli's old friends, a Vanguard of the Order. She had just drove back another horde of Slags, as well as having the liberty to punch Vanaduke's mask. Apparently, this recklessness was labelled as bravery to the Order, and so she was bumped up to Vanguard for her near-suicidal efforts.

Back when the two were in each other's league as military equals, the two would talk about life if they were on Isora instead, and countless other possibilities. Eli, as her indiscernible identity did lead to on occasion, then entered a small relationship with the girl she was facing right now (have fun trying to get past the gender switches LOLOL), but separated as soon as she was discharged for her blindness.

"No," she replied curtly, "but thanks for the offer."

Eli walked on towards the Arcade, trying hard not to mind the girl's smirk.

As Eli went on, he heard a whistle from his side, a wolf-whistle. It wouldn't be hard to be mistaken, so Eli dropped his voice low, and stated, "Get lost, punk."

At that, he heard laughs as the whistler laughed at his own blunder, and indignantly paced himself towards the elevators.

Activating her armor, she soon felt the strength of Cradle's gravity come into effect, and when she was safely on the elevators, it whirred down...

A small beep from inside the helm notified her she was in a party of three. True enough, she could hear whispers discussing Eli's own appearance. It was a bit awkward when a cute face did carry such a heavy package...

Sometimes, she wished she was a Gremlin. It's not like they were discernable to each other anyways...

Story

I guess i can say her jeans and such are cloth she found around....(its not like SK rlly does have jeans>.<, but i get your point). That....gender switch, my brain...it hurts >.<... i wooh so much from such a whirl of effort.

BTW, you character does not have to have a super power or whatever, they can have a skill they mastered, be exceptional at something. Im not saying not to add powers, just dont do it because other people and I have done it.

Also, i was working on this late last night when my internet died, i had to carefully copy and paste everything into notepad.

AND THANK GOD for chrome being amazing, accidentally went back a page and then flipped a desk, came back, and everything was fine. I then place the desk in the proper position and said i was sorry.

Story time :3
===============================================================================================

As Critzer recovered from being pushed onto the elevator, which was already picking up a little more speed downwards, the man watched a foot or two away from the edge. Critzer, lets out a sigh of disbelief, looking down and placing her hand on her forehead, murmuring to herself, "How do I get myself into these situations!" She lifts her head and looks curiously around, only to find out her suspicions were correct, this was in fact an elevator she had never seen before. It was slow, and the first few layers were bustling with Spiral Order activity. Still after 3 layers, there was still mainstream activity like the last two. The elevator begins to approach ground level four, it being slower then before, allowed her to view the activity with more detail. She realizes there's some commotion coming from the large crowds of knights. She focus a bit more on the source and notices its two knights running and bumping and pushing knights with documents, papers, and other important stuff all over the place. She then notices a group of armed knights chasing after the two, yelling at them to halt, multiple others saying for people to stop them. She laughs to herself, murmuring, "Well they are giving them a run for their money..." She then notices that they are running in her direction, and as the elevator is coming down, ever so closer to the junction, the two men got ever so closer to the junction. She begins to rapidly press the go button, hoping for it to pick up speed, or zoom past the junction. Her intent is to not be mixed in with them and brought to justice along with them, even though she didn't do anything. The button seemed to have had no effect, when the elevator reached the junction, it stopped and she continued to madly mash the button (poor button), her face full of concern. Then it begins to move down again, but at the same rate as before. She was relieved to see they wouldn't hop on at the junction but she was curious to see what they had done and what would happen to them.

She begins to daze off into space as her mind fills with possibilities, her train of thought only broken when she hears a thump/clang sound, but she ignores it and continues. Then another sound of the same kind happens and she whirls around to see the two figures from before standing there. She jumps in shock on how they got there, but then she answered her own question by saying the could have just jumped down. She then notices the two men aren't standing together but on opposite sides of each other, both also excluding her from themselves. One of them was an old man compared to her and the other fellow. He also had a slight chill to him when she looked at him, making even her shiver slightly. The other was a bit younger then her, he had a very distinctive body feature, and had a very, very, very shady feel to him. She noticed him staring at her money pouch. She instinctively grabs it and puts it under a layer of her armor rather then have it hanging from her side. She opens her mouth, takes a small step forward and raises her hand a bit about to ask a question but withdraws. She thinks for a moment, revising it, then does the same motion again, this time actually saying something, directing it to the elder of the two, "Who are you...?" The man ignores her question, disregarding the fact that she is even there. She becomes slightly irritated, the area around her increasing in temperature. She asks again with a much more stern tone of voice, and directing the heat towards him. "I asked, who are you?" The man notices her this time, pulling the collar of his Snarbolax Coat open to let some heat out, "Well...My name is Graft, the other guy is some thief, I don't know. I found him sneaking in the same place I was sneaking; now may you please stop being rude and take the elevator in silence?" The other man shoots an angry glare at Graft before turning to look away from them both. Graft begins to lower the temperature, creating a stalemate between Critzer's ability and his own. She gets frustrated with the old man, asking another question, "Why where you both sneaking around...?"

"I was doing it for my own purpose, which is none of your business. And like i said, he is a thief, why else would he be sneaking?" Graft snaps back at her.

The other man turns towards Graft and speaks for the first time in the argument "I needed food you old grout! And I have a name, it's Forrower!"

Graft is now fighting on two fronts in the argument, he focuses on Forrower, "That's what they all say, all the thieves on Cradle say it, they need this, or that, but they don't work for the money that they need for those items!"

Forrower snaps back, "Well, unlike you and a few others, I don't get along with people very well, as well as the fact that I'm not fed my food through a straw, unlike you, you old man!"

Graft huffs in some air, chilling the air even more, Critzer having to use her power to heat some of the air even more. Forrower then adds to his statement, "I have lost my parents, been cold, alone, and starving on the streets, no one helping me. To add on to that, I've survived an encounter with a Margrel (what is a Margrel?), and even a small cursed explosion! I'm cursed by the fact that I am weak to some elements if I hold the same type of elemental weapon! I'm CURSED by this!" He raises his hand up in front of him, palm facing him, his other hand pointing to the back of his palm to the Curse symbol stuck on it.

Graft lets out a laugh, making Forrower let out a large grunt of distaste, "I too have lost my family, I never got to see my wife die nor her funeral BECAUSE I WAS STUCK IN A BLOODY EXPERIMENTAL LABORATORY!! I also cannot find my son, and I also have a power pretty boy!" He spits at Forrower's feet, but instead of what he spits splatting on the floor, it bounces and lands again on the elevator floor, a pure spit-icicle was what it was. Critzer gasps to herself, now knowing why it was so cold. The men continued to bicker between each other about whose life was more miserable until Critzer had had it.

She lean forward towards the area between the two, stomping her foot to catch herself, making a wall of fire appear between them. "ENOUGH! You both are acting like children, now stop this bickering before I make Vanaduke look like a firecracker after I blow both of you off this elevator, both burnt to a crisp!" Hell hath no fury like an angry woman, and both men agree to that and shake hands once the wall of fire recedes. Turning their heads away from each other, mumbling insults to one another afterwards. She then turns around, her back towards them, the heat around her at 130 degrees Fahrenheit, just barely decent for her as she likes it hotter. She then notices the first layer for which monsters spawn, but this wasn't your usual 'close to the surface forest layer'. No, it was very dark, shadowy, and full of nasty, big ol' critters.

Critzer wasn't the only one to notice this, but they all thought the same thing, "What in the bloody blazes of madness have I gotten myself into..."

You guys were begging for some more so.... :/

===============================================================================================

The elevator continues to go down, the haze of darkness encroaching on the elevator until it is entirely consumed by it. The three knights can just barely see one another even though they are only 2 feet from each other. Forrower has to move close to Critzer so he can be seen by the other two. Graft shivers a bit in slight fear "At....at the age of forty-five..i've seen a lot...even a child eating their own father to survive....but never have i seen... this..." The comment sends shiver down everyone's spine. Critzer soon becomes anxious, creating a fireball in her hand to light the area around them a bit more. Graft jumps from the sudden heat but takes the heats as he would rather be safe then be comfortable. With a loud 'clunk', the elevator stops at the start area. The only problem is, the start are does not even have a barrier, making the group even more nervous. Forrower, a man of the shadows is even trembling like a leaf.

A blood riddled scream rips through the air, piercing everyone's ears, all trembling in fear of the shadows and the unknown. The two men instinctively huddle around the light source, which means they huddle around Critzer, staying extremely close to her where ever she goes.

"A-...After i got my flame powers...I never thought i'd be afraid of the ...d-dark...again...." Critzer whines, trembling like a leaf, the group slowly inching their way through the layer, inch by inch. All of them having some weapon out. Critzer with her Magma Driver, Graft with his Triglav, and Forrower with his Gran Faust. All of them standing at the ready for if something bad pops into view. They all jump suddenly as they feel a woosh of air, something was around them. It gives off a horrifyingly large amount of static sound (im literally giving myself goosebumps typing this, no joke). Critzer, begins to feel more anxious, making the flame even bigger, her legs shaking in fear. They get a glimpse of what was going around them as their field of view is expanded, but it dashes out of the light quickly, letting out an unnatural scree of distaste towards the light.

Another scream rips through the air, throwing the groups mind into further panic from what it already was in. They have only now have made it 1/4th of the way through. Critzer begins to tighten up, less movement coming from her. She begins to whisper "I...I dont like the cold...i dont like the dark...the dark is cold...its..s-scary..." She repeats this over and over again, her body shaking even more until she finally stops in there tracks, the two men turning there attention to her with great concern.

"Critzer...whats wrong...keep the light up please..." Forrower pleads.

"Keep up that flame girl...we will get through this...I-....I hope...." Forrower says, uncertainty riddling his effort calm the girl. Critzer begins to weep out of angst and fear as both men fail to make her feel better. Both of her hands are fully on fire now, both covering her ears. She falls to her knees, chanting what she had said before.

At this time, the darkness begins to slowly fight back the light, moving in closer and close...and closer to them. Critzer begins to shake her head, her body now fully covered in fire, but this fire did not help light the area...it was the fire of fear. It had no help to the others as a light source, it was weak. All of a sudden, she stops crying, chanting and shaking, she gets up between the two others, pushing them to the very edge of the light. She stares blankly at the darkness, tilting her head to the side "Oh hello darkness....it's nice to meet you again...lets ....play" At this point She burst into flames, her body covered in a thick layer of pure scorching fire, pushing the darkness away from all three of them instantly. It exposes some of the dark creatures of the shadows, twisted and morphed, covered in a think glob of the unknown.

Critzer's body continues to burn, the flame begining to pull away from her body and create a figure, a tall and hefty figure. (This but more detailed and just a lot better Fire Titan ) The figure begins to move, taking on a mind of its own, and begins whipping out flames into the distance, creating small fires. Once the flame creature is fully created, it stands before the three knights, creating an immense amount of light and heat. The heat only able to be felt if really close to it. With a raspy voice, she utters out "Hey Flamma..." She drops to her knees, passing out on floor in front of the to men, the titan still there. Graft and Forrower blink for a bit as to what they are looking at, the titan in turn nods to them. It points in the direction of where it had launched its flames earlier. Graft looks at the titan then at Critzer, he kneels down beside her and picks her up, her body extremely cold. He offers her to Forrower, but he looks back at Graft curiously "Why...?"

Graft with utter disgust, his face going from concern to pure anger " BECAUSE LOOK AT THE BLOODY SITUATION HERE! Her body is extremely cold and i wont help her making it colder, you carry her." He forcefully places her on Forrower's shoulder, grumbling madly to himself about what Graft said.

Graft looks at the titan "Will...she be ok..?" The titan nods in response and beckons them to hurry, his flame slowly getting weaker as time goes by. The scream that was heard before rings through the air again, this time The two men figure out its a layer below them, and that it is a knight. As the progress the layer, the encounter no real threat, as everything tends to stay away from the titan and the light. which both men gladly stay in.

They reach the end of the layer, the titan on its last whiff of flame before it begins to burn out, the flame returning to Critzer slowly. Both Graft and Forrower jump on the elevator at the end before the titan runs out of life. As the elevator starts up and begins to move down, they hear yells and the static from before again. They were safe though, they were now in darkness, and without Critzer they had no light source. Then a flash of bright light comes from the layer below them. Forrower lays Critzer down and both men huddle around her to keep close. Graft whispers over to Forrower "I-I know we may not get along...but we both dont want to be alone here...so i have a plan..." He gulps "We push through that layer slightly blind, and find whoever is down there...." He places a hand on Forrower's head, he can only feel him nodding his head urgently and respectfully.

She will come in, but i cannot just plop her in :"Oh hello my name is eli, what are you doing in these strange parts, its quiet lovely here dont you agree?" Critzer, Forrower, and Graft all tilt their heads in various directions before making the decision to beat, what they asume to be is a her, to death.

I could do that or make it more epic, so what do you prefer >:3?

Wow, Critzer, this is amazing work! I mean, really your spelling and grammar are lost in the intensity of the story, and the way you mold the suspense is skillful! And I see you still await my own posts, so yeah, lol, I'll actually have to take from you! But.... Critzer, Can I perhaps take in your posts and edit them? I think the quality would be much better if you just edited them a little, please don't be offended, that's not what I want you to feel!
But really, I seriously cannot wait for the next part >:D
EDIT: And you're still as funny as ever xD

Hmmm....

As you notice the last one is riddled with grammar errors. That was because it was 11pm and i was tired as...well...I cant say any curse words as it'll bring down the thread...only real one i can use is bloody....
Hex, i would love you to be my editor, on one condition, you only fix grammatical errors, no adding [stuff], no removing stuff that's important, only my mess ups. Also, how am i to send them to you?

===============================================================================================

The elevator slowly lowers down to the next layer, both men kneeling over Critzer, each other's hand on each other's shoulder. Forrower begins to wonder why he is afraid and scared at this very moment even though he is a man of the shadows. He quickly answers his own question, thinking "Well not these type of shadows....heh..." Critzer begins to slowly move, her fingers moving slightly, along with her feet, and even a bit of baby rambling "asdjklvnlkasj....djkasfnajk....." She says, coming out as if her face was numb. Both men slightly giggle to themselves, lightning up the mood for a second before there was another screech of pure horror. Both men going back into silence. Forrower thinks of something sneaky and places his other hand on Critzer's stomach, moving it around on there before he finds something interesting, her money pouch. His sly thinking gets the better of him and grabs on it, tugging a bit. Critzer's arm goes into muscle memory mode and punches Forrower square in the chin, letting go of the pouch immediately.

Graft retorts to him in a low whisper "Child, get a grip on yourself, we are in a life or death situation and all your thinking about is a few lousy crowns...?"

Forrower rubbing his chin with his free hand, shoots back "Lousy crowns!? She, my friend, is rich! And what if we make it out of here alive...."

Graft keeping to a low whisper but with a stern voice "Your lucky she hit you or I would have done something about it and made sure you would not get out of here in one-"

The elevator screeches to a halt, piercing their ears and making them jump "..piece..?" Graft says, finishing his sentence. Graft and forrower sit in the darkness before graft gets an idea and starts ravaging through Critzer's belongings.

"And your saying i'm bad..." Forrower says with skepticism. Graft ignoring his remark until he gets out a few glowing things, including her combuster and daring rigadon, handing the combuster to Forrower.

Graft points the daring rigadon out, its shiny tip lighting a bit, enough for them to see. He turns to Forrower and says "Im geting stuff to keep us alive, now turn that on its side and aim the glowing light wherever you want, just keep her up, and stay with me!" He points at Critzer, Forrower grumbling again as he picks her up and carries her, but gives no other attitude towards Graft. As Forrower follows behind Graft he spins around behind him constantly when he hears foot steps, only to shine the small amount of light emitted. The small amount sends the creatures back, as before, screeching in pain from it. Graft on the other hand, just swings the rigadon from left to right slowly, keeping direction and lighting the way in front of them. Another flash from lightning occures and the men pick up the pace, Critzer starting to wake up from the bouncing from Forrower's hurried walk.

"Dsljfajkf...ish itf morningzz....alsh...ready...dsajfjasgb...blarg....asklfagks" Critzer rambling again, raising her head and rubbing one eye slowly then opening it, only to see darkness "Nopsh..." Her head dropping again and falling back into her graceful slumber. Forrower, all he could do, was laugh loudly, but nearly forgets to light a spot. He just barely lights it up to see a creature right in his face, ugly and covered with that glob of black from before. It quickly scuttles away in fear of the light. Both men are now running but hear a distant call of a women yelling out plees for help "Is...is anyone there!!?? Please help!!!" Another flash of lightning zips up into the sky, sending a flash throughout the layer, scaring many of the creatures away from the group.

Graft quickly reacts with a panting yell "YES! Keep doing that......We are almost...t-there!!! Just...." He pants a bit more and mumbles to himself for a second "Sheesh...im really....really getting to old...for this...." He continues to wave the rigadon, now furiously from side to side. He grabs Forrower by the collar with his other hand and beggining to tug on him as he picks up the pace grumbling more to himself "But...now is not the time.... to be.... OLD!" He sees some sparks flying off a figure in the distance, closing the distance fast to, from what he can see, is a her.

Graft miraculously gets the group to the girl who is hovering slightly over a metal plate and creating many small sparks off her body to create light. Graft falls to the ground in front of her, pulling Forrower down and Critzer, who happens to land awkwardly onto the ground. Graft raises a thumps up to indicate he is fine. Forrower almost immediately getting up and waving the combuster around, spreading its small amount of light around. Critzer suddenly flips right-side-up, her back popping a bit as she does, she makes a hissing noise as it does. She rubs both of her eyes and squints a bit as it is dark, only to see Forrower waving her combuster around, a levitating girl with sparks covering her body, and an old, chilly man on the ground panting.

Critzer speaks in a raspy voice, the voice only heard from those who have just woken up from a very deep sleep "What...oh...time to go back to sle-" Forrower yells madly at her " Critzer, get your lazy behind up AND LIGHT A BLOODY FIRE....NOW!" His breathing beggining to be interrupted with panting from his constant strafing with her blade. But all she does is retort angrily at him with a big "NO!" and falls back onto the floor.

Forrower thinks for a second and smiles in evil glee "Hey Critzeeeeeer, your fat, ugly, and a gremlin. I even saw you working a corner at Haven one day, asking 100 crystal energy for some fun!" He knows that every single thing he says is a lie but all he can do is giggle madly. The levitating girl looks at him with shock, only thinking "Is he MAD!?"

Critzer pops up almost instantly, her head and fist blazing, filling a vast amount of area with light. She walks over to Forrower and grabs him by the chest and holding him above her, her eyes even burning brighter then her own head "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY YOU YOUNG LITTLE PIECE OF...OF...I DON'T KNOW!" All Forrower can do is smile and lightly pat her head so he doesn't burn his hand. A nearby bush catches fire and burns brightly for a few seconds before turning to ashes. His only remark is "That's a good girl, thank you." All before he is punched in the face and knocked two feet away from her. The other girl watches in awe as she sees Critzer spontaneously catch on fire and then continues to be in awe as Forrower is knocked a few feet away.

Critzer goes back to where she was and sits down, her head still ablaze, setting a few more things around her ablaze, and even getting a tree to catch on fire, burning much longer then the bush did. She begins to cool off as she begins to analyze what is going on around her, only then does she remember what had happened earlier. She then gets up frantically and shoots a few fire balls in the distance with her Magma driver, giving it a boost and lighting a few more fires around them. She then realizes how hard she hit Forrower and rushes to him, standing over him "Im sorry!!" She pleads "But you called me fat...and a prostitute....so....you deserved it." She then notices the spark covered girl, waving to her and motioning for her to come down.

"Were you the person letting out those horrifying screams earlier...they weren't very...helpful...." Critzer says to her as they meet face to face, on somewhat level terms.

The lightning girl looks away and downward, kicking her foot into the ground "Oh.....sorry" Her eyes going into a sorrowful state as she shyly looks away, not saying a word more.

Critzer taps her shoulder, pointing at Forrower "That's Forrower, shadow infested, stealing, and very insulting little weasel who does listen sometimes. But that's just from what I have gathered from being with him for a slight bit." She then points at Graft "An understanding guy who has the power of...just...the cold...I hate the cold....I really do hate it....It sucks" She begins to ramble on about how she hates it before she realizes she is going off topic "Oh...right! Umm....He is very old, has a bit of a sad back ground story but is respectful and listens to me at least, he doesn't take jack squat from Forrower." She then points at herself "And my name is Critzer, I am rich, like to wear costumes...." She snickers as she snaps her fingers and lights her whole body ablaze "And I like to play with fire, i'm known politically as 'Le Blaze'" She then points at the other girl "So who are you...?"

The other girl smiles shyly at Critzer, liking how nice she is even though they had just met "Well....i'm....my name is...." She sighs and then takes a deep breath of air to build her confidence, a slight spark produced from her forehead "My name is Fulgara Scintilla but to those who know me call me Spark. I'm 16 years old and have the power to control electricity. I like to hang around in the garden and mess around with the snipes.... until... knights come.... near....." Her confidence dwindles as she shyly backs off the subject and stops talking. Critzer smiles at her and pats her head, laughing as she is tickled by some sparks from Fulgara's head "Your sooooo cute!" Critzer giggling at her "Alright Spark, welcome to the makeshift group, we got stuck together by unnatural causes but we will get out of here naturally and the best way possible!"

Spark tilts her head, a little flustered by calling her cute but then ask the question "And what way is that....?"

Critzer spins in joy then graps Spark's seraphic mail by the chest, pulling herself close to Spark, Critzer's face really close to Spark's. Critzer speaks in a menacingly evil way, her voice sending chills down Spark's spine "By burning it all....Every single...little living monster will...BURN!!" Critzer's smile evil and twisted, her own eyes of one like someone who has gone insane. She lets go of Spark and skips over to Graft "Be ready old man, have your shades ready." She says as she bent over him and tilted her head, her eyes closed and her smile wide.

Graft narrows his eyes as he stares up at her "Oh boy...."

Grrrrr...

Forrower would like to blast her with his curse coloured energy but refrains from doing so as she is rich and if she dies then he will never have a chance to steal from her again... ;)

Any way BUMPPPP! This is great, keep it up.

I love you <3

Critzer, this is phenomenal, my goodness, it's hilarious, suspenseful, it's just so awesome!! You really have a great talent my friend. And this is how I'll edit, I'll copy paste your posts, edit them (of course you know I wouldn't mess with anything, even the orientation, only grammar :3) and then you can copy paste that onto your original posts, then I'll just remove that giant chunk of writing once that's done, inefficient, but it works. Tell me if I change something too much

"Critzer wakes up to the buzzing of her door, groaning and punching her bed in discontentment. "I have told you guys not to wake me up like this!" As she gets up, she shivers, heading immediately to the medium sized furnace in the metal room. She snaps her fingers, making a small flame appear in her hand, which she uses this to light the furnace, warming the room. To her, cold is around 92 degrees, the furnace raises it to about 120. She sighs to herself looking around the metal room of confinement, as she begins putting on her garments and such. First her Skolver Coat and Cap, Elite Fast Strike Module and her Heart Pendent. Then comes her favorite costume, a Hallow Tailed Helm with Hallow Glasses, Vertical Vents and a Hallow Fur Coat with Hallow Wings and Bomb Bandoleer. She smiles with glee, doing a single twirl of excitement, the furnace's flame becoming a bit brighter. She heads to the door and knocks on it, only for a flap to open, a pair of green eyes peering in, a wimpish, questioning voice is heard, "Yess...sss..?"

Critzer replies in a sweet voice, "What have I told you about waking me up with that buzzer...? And where is my breakfast...?"

The man's eyes begin to dart from side to side through the viewing square, "Ummm...umm...I forgot...and the stove isn't working...Miss...you'll have to wait a bit..."

Critzer sighs, her aura of flame beginning to show, "I can understand you want me up on time, but I ask you to at least HAVE MY FOOD READY WHEN I DO WAKE UP... and warm.... and delicious.... bring here though..." she replied in an annoyed voice.
The man jumps when she raises her voice, slightly closing the flap to shield himself. Once she finished, he rushes back to the food and brings it to the door and hands it to her through a lower, larger flap in the door. He then quickly closes the two flaps, scuffling away in fear of being burned.
She stands with the pan, holding it out some. She flicks her hand this time, creating a larger blaze and holds it under the pan, heating her breakfast. She notices the camera in the far corner near the roof of the room zooming on her. She sighs again, wondering why she is here, and why she volunteered to live like this. She begins to recall the memories before this day, the days of her past.

Her family was an envious group of people who weren't really good at anything, weren't known for anything, nor did they have a lot of money. They where tired of this state of living. Her parents where hoping to have a boy, but instead they had her, a critical blow to their plan. They named her Critzer, a run off of the word "critical". The only reason they even named her, was because they had to in the facility they where in. Her mother couldn't afford to have another child in the hopes of having a boy, so they decided they'd get a boy by adoption. But this came at a price, so they traded her to a greedy man for his boy. He only wanted a girl because he could put her to work on the streets, begging for money. She grew to the age of 11, her years being miserable and dirty. She was forced by her "father" to lie to other people for money, she did learn a few things on how to get crowns easily, however. But soon she had enough, and ran. She ran and she ran, and she ran, until she found herself on the Skylark at the age of 17. By now, she had joined the Spiral Knights by squeezing through the nooks and crannies of the registration requirements. She had barely been on the Skylark before it crashed down onto Cradle. She, along with many others, escaped in a pod, difference between the others and her is that she landed into a very large amount of Crimsonite, the fire crystal of the Clockworks. The crystals, overcharged with fiery energy, poured a large amount of it into her and the pod, the pod absorbing a majority of it. She survived, gaining a very fiery new crimson personal color and some very intense fire related powers. The only real problem was that she was knocked out for nearly 2 weeks after the Skylark had crashed, due to the Crimsonite. She eventually awoke, the pod still red hot from 2 weeks earlier. She left the pod and headed to where she was told to go.
She arrived to Haven, finding herself broke as usual, tired, and hungry. She was told that she needed to help get to the Core and she did as she was told. She only noticed her new flame powers when she spun around and swung her sword to which her free hand shot a ball of flame into a random direction. She learned how to use these new powers to her advantage and blazed though the levels of the Clockworks, literally. She earned the nickname "Le Flame", as she basically set everything aflame that was in her path. She rose up the ranks extremely fast, mainly by scrounging every bit of crown she could to buy better gear. She soon found herself sitting around doing nothing, until one day she set something... pretty important ablaze and was asked to live in a special metal room; she went in willingly.

She soon falls out of her trance and even jumps up, her breakfast now burnt to a crisp, as the metal door to the room opens. A man in full 5 star gear walks up to her, only saying "Come with me, I have a very special task for you, Le Flame... unless you would like to rot away in here for the rest of your life."
She nods excitedly, grabbing her Magma Driver, Combuster, and Daring Rigadoon, quickly following the man in charge. He takes her to an elevator that she had never seen before. He tells her that she needs to go down, one way or the other. Her only reply is why, but he doesn't answer her, he just pushes her onto the elevator, which begins to heads down.

Is it just me?

Or is it that my characters, for a reason unknown, are never pulled out?

Oh Vinny

Don't worry Vinny, sometimes, you just gotta wait! Just realized that editing at 11pm at night is not good XD I left a few mistakes, but w/e, DEAL WITH IT!

"As Critzer recovered from being pushed onto the elevator, which was already picking up a little more speed downwards, the man watched a foot or two away from the edge. Critzer, lets out a sigh of disbelief, looking down and placing her hand on her forehead, murmuring to herself, "How do I get myself into these situations!" She lifts her head and looks curiously around, only to find out her suspicions were correct, this was in fact an elevator she had never seen before. It was slow, and the first few layers were bustling with Spiral Order activity. Still after 3 layers, there was still mainstream activity like the last two. The elevator begins to approach ground level four, it being slower then before, allowed her to view the activity with more detail. She realizes there's some commotion coming from the large crowds of knights. She focus a bit more on the source and notices its two knights running and bumping and pushing knights with documents, papers, and other important stuff all over the place. She then notices a group of armed knights chasing after the two, yelling at them to halt, multiple others saying for people to stop them. She laughs to herself, murmuring, "Well they are giving them a run for their money..." She then notices that they are running in her direction, and as the elevator is coming down, ever so closer to the junction, the two men got ever so closer to the junction. She begins to rapidly press the go button, hoping for it to pick up speed, or zoom past the junction. Her intent is to not be mixed in with them and brought to justice along with them, even though she didn't do anything. The button seemed to have had no effect, when the elevator reached the junction, it stopped and she continued to madly mash the button (poor button), her face full of concern. Then it begins to move down again, but at the same rate as before. She was relieved to see they wouldn't hop on at the junction but she was curious to see what they had done and what would happen to them.

She begins to daze off into space as her mind fills with possibilities, her train of thought only broken when she hears a thump/clang sound, but she ignores it and continues. Then another sound of the same kind happens and she whirls around to see the two figures from before standing there. She jumps in shock on how they got there, but then she answered her own question by saying the could have just jumped down. She then notices the two men aren't standing together but on opposite sides of each other, both also excluding her from themselves. One of them was an old man compared to her and the other fellow. He also had a slight chill to him when she looked at him, making even her shiver slightly. The other was a bit younger then her, he had a very distinctive body feature, and had a very, very, very shady feel to him. She noticed him staring at her money pouch. She instinctively grabs it and puts it under a layer of her armor rather then have it hanging from her side. She opens her mouth, takes a small step forward and raises her hand a bit about to ask a question but withdraws. She thinks for a moment, revising it, then does the same motion again, this time actually saying something, directing it to the elder of the two, "Who are you...?" The man ignores her question, disregarding the fact that she is even there. She becomes slightly irritated, the area around her increasing in temperature. She asks again with a much more stern tone of voice, and directing the heat towards him. "I asked, who are you?" The man notices her this time, pulling the collar of his Snarbolax Coat open to let some heat out, "Well...My name is Graft, the other guy is some thief, I don't know. I found him sneaking in the same place I was sneaking; now may you please stop being rude and take the elevator in silence?" The other man shoots an angry glare at Graft before turning to look away from them both. Graft begins to lower the temperature, creating a stalemate between Critzer's ability and his own. She gets frustrated with the old man, asking another question, "Why where you both sneaking around...?"

"I was doing it for my own purpose, which is none of your business. And like i said, he is a thief, why else would he be sneaking?" Graft snaps back at her.

The other man turns towards Graft and speaks for the first time in the argument "I needed food you old grout! And I have a name, it's Forrower!"

Graft is now fighting on two fronts in the argument, he focuses on Forrower, "That's what they all say, all the thieves on Cradle say it, they need this, or that, but they don't work for the money that they need for those items!"

Forrower snaps back, "Well, unlike you and a few others, I don't get along with people very well, as well as the fact that I'm not fed my food through a straw, unlike you, you old man!"

Graft huffs in some air, chilling the air even more, Critzer having to use her power to heat some of the air even more. Forrower then adds to his statement, "I have lost my parents, been cold, alone, and starving on the streets, no one helping me. To add on to that, I've survived an encounter with a Margrel (what is a Margrel?), and even a small cursed explosion! I'm cursed by the fact that I am weak to some elements if I hold the same type of elemental weapon! I'm CURSED by this!" He raises his hand up in front of him, palm facing him, his other hand pointing to the back of his palm to the Curse symbol stuck on it.

Graft lets out a laugh, making Forrower let out a large grunt of distaste, "I too have lost my family, I never got to see my wife die nor her funeral BECAUSE I WAS STUCK IN A BLOODY EXPERIMENTAL LABORATORY!! I also cannot find my son, and I also have a power pretty boy!" He spits at Forrower's feet, but instead of what he spits splatting on the floor, it bounces and lands again on the elevator floor, a pure spit-icicle was what it was. Critzer gasps to herself, now knowing why it was so cold. The men continued to bicker between each other about whose life was more miserable until Critzer had had it.

She lean forward towards the area between the two, stomping her foot to catch herself, making a wall of fire appear between them. "ENOUGH! You both are acting like children, now stop this bickering before I make Vanaduke look like a firecracker after I blow both of you off this elevator, both burnt to a crisp!" Hell hath no fury like an angry woman, and both men agree to that and shake hands once the wall of fire recedes. Turning their heads away from each other, mumbling insults to one another afterwards. She then turns around, her back towards them, the heat around her at 130 degrees Fahrenheit, just barely decent for her as she likes it hotter. She then notices the first layer for which monsters spawn, but this wasn't your usual 'close to the surface forest layer'. No, it was very dark, shadowy, and full of nasty, big ol' critters.

Critzer wasn't the only one to notice this, but they all thought the same thing, "What in the bloody blazes of madness have I gotten myself into...""

next chapter

Well sorry i didnt put on up yesterday, didnt have the urge to do anything really.

Oh, btw, Hex, thanks for the two edits, copied and pasted them where they needed to go.

===============================================================================================

The group of four now sit next to a central fire while smaller, long burning fires surround the area. Spark and Critzer socializing pretty well together, both of their elements coincide with each other in a sense. Electricity is just plasma forming, which creates high heat and light. Fire is a lower form of plazma and also creates light. But this is not the only reason they are getting along, there are now two females and two males, creating a natural divide in the group when it comes to social structure. The men on the other hand, even though their elements similar in the sense that both are cold and create no light, are sitting a few feet away from each other, watching each other in slight distaste. It was a stare off between young and old, one who sneaks and steal for money, and pleasure, the other who steals for information and justice. The flames around them ward off the creatures in the darkness, keeping the group of four safe and secure. Though they cannot tell what time it is, and have no real form of food other then what does try to venture in the light and is attacked by the four.

But after a while the attempts become more frequent and Critzer has to light fires more often, making the group feel uneasy, and making them a bit nervous. Spark, speaking in a frightened and doubtful voice "May-....Maybe we should.....head...out...now?" The other three look at her and nod, Critzer lighting some fires in the distance to the next junction. all four begin to head out Critzer leading and lighting the way with Forrower to her side, then Spark lighting up the back a bit with Graft by her. But the two duos mainly keep a distance of maybe 4 feet from each other. They encounter little resistance and are more calm then from the first layer. The team being more dynamic and calm, keeping each other's back, and remaining focused.

As they are running, Critzer and Forrower trip over something covered in the glop, then a moment later, Graft and Spark follow, Graft landing on Critzer, Spark landing on Forrower. Critzer and Forrower groan from the sudden impact and weight pressed against them. after a few seconds of awkward moving and turning, the group eventually gets up, the two girls expanding the field of view once again. Critzer creating fires like before and Spark acting as a lantern. The men on the other hand examine what they tripped on, soon calling the girls over to shed a bit more light on it. Critzer comes over, holding a flame in her hand, bringing it closer to what seemed to be a Knight.

Critzer sighs "What a shame....Poor guy probably didnt even stand a chance... Pfft...doesnt even look like his divine veil helped him what so ever..." Her voice trails off as the Graft and Forrower commented as well "The glop gobbled him up...i mean look at it....In honesty, the guy was an idiot going in the shadows.." Forrower says with criticism, poking the body of the knight, the glop reacting to the poking and light. A bit farther away, Fulgara is lighting a bit of more area, not getting in the way and shocking them by accident. Or at least that is what she told herself, as she was just being shy all along. But she froze as she catches a bit of the conversation by the others. Her knees begin to shake as she tries to get a grip on herself, telling herself its probably another knight of coincidence. She tries to think of something else but deep down inside of her she wanted to be sure. She turns unexpectedly and turns off her sparks on her body, heading towards the knight, stopping half way as she recognizes him immediately. Her knees buckle and tears begin to run down her eyes. She begins to sob to herself "I...knew I should have.....hfff....gone with him..." She catches the attention of the others and they head over to their friend to help her out morally.

They ask her questions on why she is crying and she points to the body "That... That's the knight.... That helped me... He is....I mean w-...Was my friend..." She begins to huff some and calms down enough to allow herself to speak clearly "We found ourselves here...one day and I was scared... We had met a long time ago and had become.... close friends. But at one point i became too scared and didn't want to go anymore... So he told me to stay where you guys had found me... While he left to maybe find some help...." She begins to sob more "I-I thought he had made it when..... When you guys showed up....and was recovering on the surface... But... But... but..." Her voice silences and her eyes grow wide, she was still pointing at the body. The other three begin to ask the question "But what...?"But she continued to point, her entire arm shaking and she begins to move backwards slowly, and her knees trembling with pure fear. Her voice wrecked with fear as she mutters out "...Lo-...Looshk....." Forrower being the only one to understand looks back only see the once motionless figure up and well, but it was raising its sword high and moving towards the three with haste. Forrower pushes Graft and Critzer out of the way as the blade comes down, nearly hitting them. The attention of the figure does not shift to Forrower but to Fulgara as the figure continues moving forward after recovering from the miss. Its voice comes out with the distortion of high pitched static " Hello f... Fulgara.... You let me go.. out.. out... ou.... Venture into the darkness.... It has consumed me.... And now you shall...... Join me!"

Fulgara screams in terror as the figure's blade rushes down towards her body. She closes her eyes knowing this would be the end. But nothing happens and she opens them up again. She then sees Graft over her, taking the hit with his shield and parrying with it, hitting the figure with his Triglav. The figure is pushed back a bit, right between Critzer and Forrower, Critzer who pierces the figure with her Daring Rigadoon while Forrower shoots it with his Sentenza. The figure barely reacts before falling to the floor, the glop that was on it oozes off the body and scuttles away, nearly dodging a fireball shot at it by Critzer. The figure's body is motionless and cold, with massive wounds from the glop, liking it was feasting on the body. Spark begins to cry even more. The others stand in silence before graft picks up Spark and begins to carry her, she lets out a bit of static but it doesn't affect him to much, his cold body making the electricity harmless to him. Critzer takes up lead again, Forrower with her as usual, Graft trailing with Spark in his arms.

The eventually reach the junction, the junction how ever was covered in the glop from before. Critzer in utter disgust tosses a fireball in the middle of the puddle of the stuff, making it scree in pain and scuttle slowly away. They get on the elevator, but unlike the others, this one didn't protect them from whatever was taking over the area. Critzer kept a constant flame on her hand as the elevator headed down to the next layer. But at the very edges of the light emitted, the four of them could see the glop crawl down the rails which the elevator traveled on. They kept vigilant of its advance the entire way down until they reached the next layer.

By now, spark had calmed down, and stood on her own feet, her legs shaking a bit but she stood. She had pushed the words that the figure had said out of her mind and focused on what was happening. With a loud clunk the elevator calm to a standstill and the four got off. Critzer increased the flame, only to find two more figures like before, this time rather then being on the floor, they were moving around frantically, one of them saw them and yelled in a woman's voice "HELP USSSSSSSS!" She began to move slowly closer to them. The other then noticed the group aswell, but this one was biting its arm, taking off pieces of skin and swallowing it. The entire group got into a defensive stance except for Forrower who moved a bit forward to the two figures.

"Critzer" He said "And....umm...Fulgara....come here...." He pointed to the areas next to him. I need you to shed a large amount of light on these guys.... and I mean A LOT of it." The girls reluctantly move towards where he says, Graft moving closer to stay in the light. The girls slowly nod at Forrower, unsure of why they are doing this but listen to him for once. Critzer begins to concentrate, she focuses her mind into just thinking of fire, her hands beggining to resonate with a deep hue of orange, then red, then blue, then pure white after a while. She then puts her arms in the air and a burst of pure heat and light flashes across the area. Fulgara on the other hand rubs her hands together quickly, sparks of electricity beginning to fly from between her hands. She build up enough to aid to the flash of light when she releases the energy. The coupling of both flashes of pure light blinds the other two men, and drenches the two figures in pure light and heat. Graft stumbles from the heat, mumbling a few words to himself. The two figures on the other hand scree in terror from the light, falling to their knees, the glop of blackness being scorched and removed from there bodies.

The two girls finish with what Forrower asked and both lean on each other in exhaustion, only Critzer keeping a faint bit of energy to light a fire nearby before falling to rest. Both Spark and Critzer lay on the floor near the fire, panting a bit. Forrower and Graft though head over to the now clean figures and pull them into the light, both out cold from the shock. Both men begin to tend to the wounds of the two left from the Glop. Forrower deals with the female who yelled at them earlier. Graft though deals with the one who began eating itself.

Both men finish and observe the two knights "Hey...Forrower.." Graft says, beckoning to turn his attention to the one he mended "I cant tell but is this one a boy or a girl...?" His voice with a bit of hesitation.

Forrower replies with a bit of uncertainty in his voice "I want to know how these two young ones got here in the first place....They look younger the Spark even..." His concern bringing up a really good point on why they were here, how they got here, and many other unknown reasons.
