The story:

Cradle has been suffering major problems recently which it didn't suffer from before. Earthquakes, volcanos, poisonous air and hallucinations killing people. Knights have been hearing rumors as they advanced deeper to the core such as weird language only heard in the swarm. One day after the poisonous air cleared up from Haven, the knights walked out and tried to figure out what to do.

Suddenly, a stranger came and gave the knights a map. The stranger then said "There is a reason for these unnatural circumstances and it is because of the 4 guardians. The guardians help and protect Cradle but recently, the swarm was able to corrupt them and only the strongest of knights can help purify the guardians and stop what is happening near the core."

The knights look at the map and start discussing where to go first.

Guardians:
Earthquake Guardian: Knight Inspector
Volcano Guardian: Ancient Bone Dragon
Poison Guardian: Altera Type H
Hallucination Guardian: Hallucination Pyromar

@Creeper

Added the timer now. Also, is this an RP or a story?

@Robo

Now your character is accepted. As for the other question, it is a story I am thinking of. I will be trying to post regularly if I get the chance.

Still need one more main character before I can start.

Observation Opportunity.

I might be interested if this were a roleplaying game. I would like to observe Creeperlucario's skills as a Game Master.

@Thin

I am going to create a RP thread soon. Just need to think of the prologue story for it...

Actually Thin

Creeper had an RP open one time called "Rush to the Core" and it didn't work because everyone wanted to be the same race. As for me, lack of apps and I would be interested if I had time...

Thinslayer

Then maybe I'll give it a shot.

Name: Astran Valderis
Age: 23
Gender: male
Equipment: Shadowsun Stetson & Slicker, Swiftstrike Buckler, Valiance, Iron Slug
Special Skill: Connections. Astran knows people who know people who know people in high places. He is possibly one of the most well-connected men in the world.
Personality: Astran is a cold, rational person with a great distaste for killing. His sense of humor is dry and not particularly good, and he is a tad anti-social. How he managed to become so well-connected is a mystery. Even more mysterious is his apparently sour demeanor. But he is surprisingly kind-hearted, and many a newbie is indebted to him for his occasional gift and free services rendered.
History: Not much is known about this man's past. Records indicate that he was once wedded, but the woman's identity was wiped off the records, and he has never been seen interacting with anyone other than his clients. He has no children to speak of, and precious little property to his name besides the clothes on his back and his two guns. He often takes on dangerous missions, even ones determined to be suicidal, leading many to believe that he has a death wish.

Which he might. He very well might.

Chapter 1: Planning

The knights look at the map and started talking. "Which one will be the least dangerous?" Don said. Betrayus then said "If I had to say, we should go after this one first" *Points at Altera* "His poisonous air is the most dangerous to Haven, then it's volcanoes, earthquakes and then the Hallucinations." Astran said "As long as we don't need to kill them, we will be fine."

After discussing some more, the stranger came back with 4 green pills and said "Take these if you are going after Altera, these make you immune to the poisonous air for 12 minutes but when it runs out, you will die quickly." Eve picked up one and then looked at the map before saying "W-where is A-a-altera?"

Betrayus got angry and slapped Eve and said "Why are you being shy! A princess like you should not be shy. I am going to say this, if you don't stop being shy, these guardians will go after you first for being the weakest!" Eve closed her eyes as tears started coming out as Betrayus continued shouting "And farther more, the guardian's aren't stupid and won't fall for your "pity" crying"

Astran looked at Betrayus with a cold stare and said "Stop punishing Eve, she isn't an adult yet. At least she isn't like the other princesses who are asking for everything." *No-one laughed at the joke.* Don was getting worried because they where aruging already and they haven't even reached Altera's lair yet.

Don then said "We should go now, it is on depth 15 and 16." Everyone started to walk towards the lift as Eve was still trying to remove the slap mark by rubbing it. When they reached the lift, the stranger typed in a code which would bring them straight to the entrance of Altera.

(Meanwhile in another location)

???: Hahaha, those foolish knights, trying to beat the guardians. They don't stand a chance and it's going to be awesome watching them dying to Altera.
------------------------------------------------------

So, what do you think of the first chapter? Be honest and I will try to make the next chapter tomorrow. Thin's character was accepted which is why I was able to make this chapter.

Well

The first chapter is like a preview of how I done the characters (To see if I made a mistake) and the next chapter will be much longer.

Chapter 2: Poisonous Arena

The lift started to go down and then the team took their green pills and when the lift stopped, they where fine from the poisonous air. Suddenly, Astran got a message saying what was on the floor "Be careful, there is one big arena that has 4 waves. If you see downed robots, attack them otherwise the next wave won't start. Also watch out for green spores, they reanimated the robots which make them a higher chance of shocking which inflects curse."

Astran showed the message to the group as they entered the arena. The gates went up and a bunch of wolvers jumped up and a few downed robots appeared. Eve rushed towards a poisoned wolver and started attacking with her Final Flourish. Astran didn't want to kill anything but he would need to do killing otherwise they would die.

Astran pulled out his Valiance and started shooting at the downed robots and they started to blow up seeing as there was no spores yet. Don activated his skill and started running around 2 wolvers attacking now and again. The wolvers didn't stand a chance because of Don's speed. Betrayus pulled out his shivermist and started to drop a few over the floor.

Once the final robot died, a lot more of downed robots appeared and a few green spores started rushing towards the downed robots. Eve managed to kill one which was frozen. The other spores where too fast and entered downed robots making them reactivated. Astran moved around while shooting the remaining downed ones seeing as they weren't technically alive.

A reanimated Lumber prepared his swing but Don was too fast and managed to trip the lumber up. Don then shot his Nova Driver into the lumber and made him blow up. Betrayus dropped a lot of Nitromones at the remaining reanimated Mecha Knights and got pushed back into Eve. The Mecha Knights got shocked and cursed Eve. They then attacked Eve and made her fall down.

Don runs to the Mecha Knights and finished them off. He helped Eve back up and the next wave spawned. There was a lot of spores and lots of lumbers. No enemies where down this time so Astran didn't really want to kill them. Betrayus then tossed his four bombs up and shouted "Bombardment!" Suddenly, 5 of each bomb landed over the arena and exploded, killing some of the lumbers and freezing others.

Eve looked at the center and noticed a bell had appeared and said "Th-this could b-be b-bad, a-a b-bell appeared in th-the center." Astran looked and realized that a Snarbolax would be coming. Don rushed to the frozen lumbers and shot them to death before releasing a full charge on the non-frozen ones. After the final lumber fell, the spores vanished as the ground started rumbling.

Astran shouted "Watch out!" A poisoned Snarbolax appeared and roared at them. Eve run at the middle and hit the bell which stunned the Snarbolax making him vulnerable. Eve then shouted "Q-queen's th-throne" The shockwave knocked the Snarbolax down and Eve started attacking with her Final Flourish.

Betrayus dropped 2 Dark Briar Barrages near the Snarbolax and damaged him even more. Don run to the bell because the Snarbolax was going to become immune again. The Snarbolax stood up and swiped his tail, tripping Eve up. Eve tried to get up but the Snarbolax held her down with his paws and was slowly digging into Eve's armor and skin.

Astran shot the bell stunning the boss which made him fall on top of Eve and then said "Everyone! We have 8 minutes left before we start dying." Don released a charged Barbarous Thorn Blade which made the Snarbolax fly off Eve. Eve struggled back up and tried to attack but couldn't easily. Betrayus tossed a final Dark Briar Barrage and killed the Snarbolax.

"You are an idiot Eve! You should be careful and this wasn't even the guardian! Now, we better get going before we run out of time." The party walk towards the lift and Astran gave Eve a health pill. Eve swallowed the pill as the lift started going down towards Altera Type H's lair.
-------------------------
What do you think of the second chapter, the next chapter will be the guardian fight against Altera Type H.
