Hey everyone!
Since we reached the core, the knights should already gained enough energy to power the Skylark Shuttle. With this, we can safely return to our home planet. I've thought about a new storyline if we did manage to return.
When we finally arrive on our home planet, there will be a cutscene where the Strangers on Cradle bid us farewell. All the Knights from the Hall of Heroes will be in that cutscene, and so will your personal knight! After the liftoff, we finally reaching our homeplanet safely. Then, everyone in the Spiral Kingdom congratulates our return. Soon after, everyone honors your knight on with the title of Vanguard.
However, the Gremlins back on Cradle; they manage to sneak into the Skylark Shuttle before liftoff, where they plant a homing device onto our home planet. After many years, our Knight will spot out many unidentified flying object in the sky; something very similar to the constructions back on the trip to Cradle. It's the Gremlins. They are planning to attack our planet, and they are armed with mass weaponry of destruction. Not only that, the Gremlins manage to recover DNA samples from various monsters back on Cradle(wolvers, chromas, slimes, etc.) and turn them into mindless, war-ridden savages. Through lab experiments, they manage to clone and replicate these monsters into small capsules filled with their DNA, as well as enhancing their natural strengths and possibly remove any natural weaknesses. Once the capsules are used, many hostiles will emerge from the floor; obeying all their "planters" orders(a nice DBZ reference). Of course, there will be constructs based on Gremlin research. King Tinkinzar, the King of Gremlins, declares war against the Knights. He plans on destroying the Knights for what they have destroyed much of their evil civilizations back on Cradle; in which they now carry the Strangers as prisoners of war. If not responded within 7 days, King Tinkinzar's army men will drop bombs all over the planet with all the space shuttles in the skies. The knights have no choice but to defend themselves, save their planet and free the strangers. The Spiral Order, once again, requires your help.
Exploring the New Planet:
- Unlike Cradle, this planet is an open-world exploration RPG. Missions will now require you to fly across the globe, sail the seas, and much more!
- New shop vendors, NPCs, and sidequests that help earn you goodies!
- New Achievements concerning easter eggs; find them, and you will be rewarded!
- Monsters will be much harder than the ones compared on Cradle. Ever since the Gremlins modified their genetic history above, who knows what you're going against?
- Some targets are natural to our home planet. Most of them will be passive or neutral; in which they only attack to defend themselves or flee. Hostile mobs are only available to the Gremlins and the Gremlins themselves.
New Features:
- New Crafting system. Knights may now make 6 to 10-star items, with various effects.
- New elements with different status effects
- New PvP game modes
Other information:
If you wish to return to Cradle, you may. There will be an NPC with a space shuttle to get you there, but each visit requires a fee.
This idea should be renamed "Spiral Knights 2". You're completely changing everything about the game with this. Literally everything.
...also this is one of the most-suggested ideas ever.
