((Once again, an attempt at making a story that can stay alive. Maybe it'll work this time. Who knows.

Edit: And ANYONE can join

The setting of this story is the modern SF universe (Uh.. I guess it'd be like.. SF 2007 or 2008..) The lands that will be traveled will consist of a town full of dangerous people, an arena floating in the air, and perhaps somewhere a bit stellar.

And this kinda has a slightly set plot. I allow LOTS of leniency, but have to pull on leashes when things kinda go out of line *eyes a certain member of the forum*))

Ahem! Today.... I'm going to tell you the story of the Thousand Year Door. An awfully long time ago... In a strange and far away land... There stood a big, bustling town that was said to be prosperous and everyone's lives were happy. But one day, a cataclysm struck. Darkness filled the skies and the earth roared and shook. It was as if the world came to a violent end. And in but one night, the town sank into the depths of the earth. Stories of the town passed into the pages of fairy tales. After many, many moons rose and set, people gathered to build a new town. But word soon spread among the people.. that an ancient city existed below. Within it, laid a great treasure-----KSSSSH....

Dani - Ugh! How could I be so bored?

The Queen of Zeal slouched in her luxorious throne. Extreme boredom had forced her to change the mana flow of one of her crystal balls to tune into a television satelite.

Her magnificent Mewtwo was away, dealing with some business. Birdo was probably out flirtting with Yoshi. Schala... well, she's been missing for a few years now.


Dani - Perhaps I can go down and see if I can rouse up any excitement with the Earthbounded kiddies. Maybe they know of some treasure I can get one of my people to look for. Yes, yes. That's a lovely plan.

And with the snap of a finger, Danielle teleported from her home on a floating island to a filthy town located in the south of a peninsula. As one can tell, she wasn't too thrilled about her new location.

Dani - That wretched marshmallow and his chunk of land... He just HAD to crash it into MY kingdom and rip it out of its nice and static location.... :: snort ::

???: Oh, Missy... Missy...

Dani - What do you want, peddler?!

Danielle turned around after surveying the area. It seemed like she was in a townsquare. There was a hangman's noose and stand located in the center. The brick buildings were decaying. The locals all seemed a big rugged and a bit shifty. Graffiti and posters were all over the place.

Besides the Queen of Zeal sat a completely cloaked figure. There were several trinkets laid out on a blanket.


Cloaked Figure: Won't you buy something I have a wide assortment of nicknacks and jewlery?

Dani - Why would I want any of your filth? All I see are broken bottles, chipped plates, and a dirty box.

Cloaked Figure: *picks up the box* It is said that this box holds a map that leads to a legendary treasure.

Dani - Treasure? Give it here, peddler!

Cloaked Figure: Only a person with a pure heart can break the magical lock placed on this box. I'll be willing to give it to you if you can open it.

The cloaked figure handed the box over to Dani. She stared at the box, then at the figure.

Cloaked Figure: ... Well.. I guess you should be handing that back...

Dani - No thank you. I can still get someone to open this.

Cloaked Figure: Ok... that'll be--

The figure was unable to finish his sentence. He was engulfed in a cloud of purpleness, and was swept up into the air.

Dani - Time to get that someone to find my treasure.

--------------------------------

My dearest Kirbynite,
It's been ages, hasn't it? We must do some catching up. Perhaps we can do that over some treasure hunting, yes? With this letter is a box that I placed a mystical treasure map that will guide us to treasure and to each other. You will come and help me hunt for the treasure, of course, won't you? I'll meet you at Rogueport. (That means you MUST come!)
Yours truly,
Schala Zeal


Kirby: WHEEE!!!

Kirby, currently in his human form and human garb, flew out the door upon receving his letter. He didn't really care that the box opened up and shot out light at him. He was finally going to be able to see Schala again.

During Kirby's dancing by Neo Grape Gardens' crops, a hamster stood by the Dreamlander household and stared at the dancing fiend.


Rick: .... well, atleast happy. He's been down ever since he stopped hearing anything from that ninja girl.

Kirby: Schala! Treasure hunt! Schala! Treasure! Schala, Schala, Schala!!

----------------------

Ignoring the warnings of others, the stubburn lad found his way to the southern docks of Rogueport. He tightened the blue bandana on his head and looked around. There were lots of crates littered everywhere. So was random garbage. There were a few Mushroom Kingdom Toads donned in overalls walking about, as well as Bob-ombs wearing pirate-like bandanas.

Kirby: ... interesting crowd. Well, I'm off to see my ray of light!

Bob-Omb: Oy! Welcome to Rogueport! Bit of a nasty place, eh? You got guts, comin' here.

Melvin was idly staring at monitors displaying his various spy cameras set up in various places - all over Japan, in Dani's shower, etc. Smithy stood behind him, looking over a few monitors, when Melvin suddenly leaned forward and pressed a finger against the glass of the Neo Grape Gardens camera.

Melvin: Look! Kirbynite's dancing around excitedly! He must be up to something!

Smithy: Yay! Adventure time! Adventure time!

Gim: Drat! And I just cleaned those monitors...

--- Five minutes later ---

Out in the main hangar, destruction was amiss. There were huge holes in the walls, and Gims scurried about trying to repair the damage from Melvin's last Whack-A-Clone game, which completely tore up the building. As Smithy sat down in the Melvinmobile's passenger seat, and Melvin moved around to the driver's seat, Booster came running up from afar.

Booster: And where are you two going?

Melvin: We're going to ruin Kirbynite's shit.

Booster: And what about the building reconstruction?

Melvin: Handle it.

Booster: What?! Wait, I--

Booster pointed dramatically at Melvin -- before realizing that the Volkswagon was already in the air and drifting off. He lowered his arm, sighed heavily, and trudged back inside as an I-beam fell to the ground right behind him.

--- Half an hour later ---

The Melvinmobile drops vertically at high speed, and comes down directly on top of Kirbynite's crops, completely smooshing them. Both front doors swing open, and Melvin and Smithy step out, the former pointing dramatically towards Kirbynite.

Melvin: Kirbynite! We're here to beat you up and take your money!

Smithy: Er, boss? They're gone.

Smithy was right. The yard was completely empty.

Melvin: Er... Kirb? You here?

Smithy: They were gone when we got here.

Melvin: --()

Kirby looks up into the sky. Something was wrong in the force, and he didn't like it.

Kirby: .... Something's wrong.. I hope it's not something like my crops getting destroyed,.... *looks at the bob-omb* Um... Thanks for the welcome, I think... Hey... have you seen a beautiful woman with blue hair and in a blue dress?

Bob-Omb: Nope! Ain't seen a broad like that. Why? She owe you money? Or she yer girlfriend?

Kirby: *blushes furiously* N-no! Nothing like that. It's just... ah.. nevermind.

Bob-Omb: Suit yerself, mate.

Off: I'll join! ...if you want me to.

NOTE: Altought Siryx's intro is rather impressive, Siryx is more or less an average character with pure-evil-elemental attacks. In short, don't worry, unlike Zex, he won't do insane things every 2 posts.

____________________________________________________________________

???: "From emptiness to existance... from existance to order... from order to chaos... from chaos to destruction... from destruction to emptiness... Such is the cycle of Eternal Darkness... the cycle of doom... the cycle of Life... the life of the Cursed..."

Two eyes glowed in the darkness...

???: "Years have passed since I was last destroyed. I tought that the cycle would finally end... that I would stop being... His... avatar... but somehow, I am here. It looks like the evil desires of people have brought me back from the emptiness... once again, I, the Avatar of the Source of All Evils... live once again..."

A raichu standing in a humanoid position got out of the darkness.

Siryx: "Who dares to wake me from my slumber? Who dares to wake the One who's hatred is one with Everyone's Hatred?"

Siryx looked around him...

Siryx: "Interesting... I must not have been revived via rituals. My soul must have been attracted to the incredible amounts of Hatred in this world... Anyway! The time has come! If it is my fate to once again live... then so be it! I am ready to exist again! I am ready to live!"

Siryx screamed and jumped!

CRASH!

The ground in the main square of Rogueport shattered as Siryx came out of the depths of the deepest of all abysses!

As soon as Siryx had came out, the abyss disappeared and all damage that had been caused by it disappeared as suddenly as the abyss had appeared...

Siryx looked around him and saw confused citizens...

Siryx: "What... are you... looking at?"

Raichu's eyes were filled with hatred. Altough he had the body of a pokemon, Siryx's soul was emitting so much evil energy that the entire town was seemingly plunged into darkness as soon as Siryx had came back to life. Also, for some reason, all those who stared into Siryx's eyes were struck as pure terror filled their hearts. This being was NOT an ordinary one...

Flashback, roughly one half-hour ago...

It was a nice day outside, and the newly married couple Jack and Haruko decided to take baby Fem out for a stroll. When passing by Kirby's house, what should they see but the humanoid Popstarian dancing about like a loonatic with an expresion of extreme glee on his face.


Jack:

Haruko: Hey Kirb!

Kirby: Schala! Treasure hunt! Schala! Treasure! Schala, Schala, Schala!!

Jack: *walking up to Kirby* Schala? Treasure? What's this all about?

Kirby: *hands Jack the letter and map and keeps dancing*

Jack: Interesting... This map... It's in Fungerian.

Kirby: *stops* Hm?

Jack: Well, it looks like Fungerian... But it's using an odd dialect that I've never seen before. Rogueport's not far from Fungeria... And I've certainly heard the tails of treasure there.

Haruko: Well, honey, why don't you go help Kirb with his treasure hunt?

Jacks: Are you sure you'll be fine taking care of Fem by yourself?

Haruko: I'll manage

---------------

Current time, Rogueport.

Jack: *lands next to Kirby* Ah, Rogueport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.

((You could take part, Zerodius.. but can you relocate that bio for your character into the proper thread? And I hope your character's true strength hasn't been realized until much much, I repeat, much much later... My character and others very much know their own power in the normal universe, so watch out ))

Kirby: *looks at Jack* Bah.. I've seen places more villainous than this. Though.. It makes me wonder why would Schala be in a place like this... Unless her old hobby finally kicked in.. ... If that's the case, I hope Melvin's not gonna be around. Schala wasn't exactly wearing too much when she was a thief.....

Kirby looks in the direction of the town center. He didn't exactly like the feeling he got from there, but he tried to ignore it. However, there was something he couldn't ignore.

Kirby: Um... Hey, is it my overjoyous mind, or do I see a bunch of one eyed, one armed, two legged robots that look like Gims over there?

Jack: Yeah... and is that Fem in the middle of them?!

-----

Jack's daughter from the future, Fem, is surrounded by a group of Gim-like robots calling themselves X-Nauts.

X-Naut 1: You will tell us everything you know about the Crystal Stars!

Fem: Think again, cyclop.

Fem kicks the X-Naut, knocking it backwards into a couple other X-Nauts.

Melvin closely examined a note on the door of Kirbynite's little house. Cottage. Whatever the fuck he lives in.

Melvin: "Dear Chuchu... Schala, treasure hunt, Schala, treasure hunt, Schala, Schala, Schala. Love, Kirbynite."

Siryx looked around him and saw Fem fighting a gang of X-Nauts...

Siryx: "Should I intervene? ...or should I let them be?"

Siryx standed there...

Siryx *thinks* I... need... fresh souls... I'll intervene and once I'll be done killing the robots, I'll kill the girl too!

Siryx began to walk toward the X-nauts. He began to charge energy into his hands as he summoned his weapon...

At precisely that moment a crate shattered over Siryx's head, drowning him in a pile of exotic fruit.

Troy: Drat.

A crane overhead pivoted back to its normal position, a red-shelled koopa manning its controls. Dozens of other cargo crates laid in an unorganized heap nearby.

OOC: Okay, I'll play. I've never RP'd with Kirbynite before... Hi, I'm Schwa.

At that moment... way, way high in the stratosphere, two figures surrounded in a telepathic bubble fly through the air... one boy, and one girl, both about 10 years old. The girl closes her eyes, as if sensing something below.

"What is it, Ami?" the boy says. Ami doesn't reply. (Ami hasn't spoken ever since she was very young.) Instead, the bubble changes course toward the Town Square, miles below them. Korra (the boy) sighs heavily, knowing Ami's probably getting them into something deep again.

(Some explanations) Ami wears lavender armor made of tiny, tiny crystals linked together. A layer of energy-enhancing, blue crystal exists below the top layer, and the biggest crystal is visible in the center of her helmet. The telepathic bubble is actually generated by that big crystal. Korra, on the other hand, wears a silvery-blue cybornetic suit that covers his torso, right leg, right arm and the top of his head. The suit is halfway enfused with Korra's body, making him a half-cyborg. These two kids are known as Team Gemini. They are twins with unknown origins.

Siryx comes out from under the pile of fruits, completely unnaffected. Such an accident was a mere breeze for him... more or less. While he wasn't seriously hurt, he still had one heck of a headache!

Siryx *thinks* Once I'm done with those robots and that girl, the one who dropped that crate on me is next!

Siryx began to summon his weapon again...

Syrix's string of bad luck continued as a door was kicked off of its hinges from the nearby tavern. The door landed on him and was promptly stepped on by two figures in pirate-y garments who flattened it to the ground.

Teddylot: Oh yeah! Ye Olde Tavern sure serves up some good root beer.

Zap: Maybe, but it sure is expensive. *looks through his money bag* Yep, that was the last of it.

Teddylot: Bah! Who needs money when you're a pirate, 'ey? *nudge nudge*

Zap: Umm, we do?

Teddylot: ... oh. *seconds pass* Well, umm, maybe we should just, I dunno, go on a treasure hunt ... or something.

Zap was about to make a quick reply, but as he shuffled his feet a bit to adjust his stance, he noticed that the door was a bit uneven.

Zap: Umm, *looks down* are we standing on something?

Teddylot: *looks down too* Yeah, I think it's a door.

Zap: A-- ... Nevermind, let's just go and do whatever. Like get out of this pirate crap. Tallk Like a Pirate Day has been over for a month already.

At the mention of this, they both removed their pirate hats, eyepatches, and whatever other pirate things they were wearing. Zap then placed a blue baseball cap on his head, and followed it up with some large headphones.

Kirby: *from a distance* Um... Hey, is it my overjoyous mind, or do I see a bunch of one eyed, one armed, two legged robots that look like Gims over there?

Teddylot: ... Kirb? Hey, check it out it's Kirb. *motions to Kirb's locaton* Let's go and see if he's on another one of those "misadventures."

With a nod from Zap, they began to make their way towards the Story Forumer gathering.

OoC Kirbynite: Holy Cucco... lots of newness! Sweet And Melvin.. It's a house. It's a two story house. The first floor has a living room on the west, and a kitchen and a dining room on the east. A staircase leading to the second floor is in the middle. The second floor has seven bedrooms. And Gooey lives in the broomcloset underneath the staircase. ;

Kirby starts walking towards Fem and the group of oddlynamed Gims.

Suddenly, a large figure garbed in a similar fashion to the "X-Naut" Gims stepped toward Fem. However, he was larger and more human-like than them... Though he was infact a reploid.

Lord Crump: You WILL tell us what we want to know... *pulls out a large revolver, pointing it at Fem* ...or your opportunity to do so will expire.

Fem: *YAAAWN*

Jack: Heya!

Jack leaps in from the side, kicking the revolver out of Crumps hand.

Fem: ... Jack? What are you doing here?

Jack: Long story, short time.

Melvin scratched his head as he looked at the letter.

Melvin: This gives us absolutely no clues as to where he is... Smithy! Activate... the Kirby Hunter!

Smithy: Right-o, Boss!

A large antenna pops out of Smithy's head, and he begins to make beeping noises, a glow on the tip of the antenna brightening and fading in tune with the beeps. Melvin walks over to his comrade, picks him up, and begins to carry him around like a metal detector. He walks off towards the Melvinmobile, Smithy constantly beeping as he does so.

Smithy: Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

Rick: .... Hey.. um.. dorks. They're in Rogueport. It's known to be a town full of outlaws, pirates, mob bosses, and other no-good-doers. Though, I'm sure that's not gonna turn you away.

--------------------

Lord Crump: Do you think you can just brush us aside like that? X-NAUTS! ASSEMBLEEEE!

Kirby: ... Um.. what?

Everything went quiet. The nearby pirates just stared at the tall reploid. All of a sudden, the ground began to shake. Gims crawled out of every nook and cranny; underneath crates, out of the water, even out of a nearby red Koopa's shell. (Don't ask)

All of the Gims surrounded Kirby, Jack, and Fem (some Gims even ignored the fact that they're standing ontop of a teddybear). All of the Gims had their eyes locked on the trio.


Lord Crump: Now!

All at once, the X-Nauts began to dogpile the center. Kirby immediately freaked out and lunged through some of the X-Nauts, hoping he'd sneak away without the Gims or Lord Crump noticing.

Troy: Noting their glee in doing as much damage to this place as I do in aligning like that, I don't think I'm being replaced by automations of any sort.

A small shelf in the control compartment slid open. Another Gim climbed out, scuttled around on the control panels, knocked over a mug of coffee, proceeded to crawl up one side of Troy and down the other before scaling down the crane tower.

Troy:

Wasting no more time Troy slung himself out the door, latching onto a ladder on the outside of the tower and sliding down, sparks in his wake.
