Journey To DarkSpire Part 6: Welcome To The OAFL

A hooded figure holding a scythe stands in front of a portal of some sort. It glows white, and it swirls around in a shape of an oval. Trees surround it, and above it is a starry sky. A giant moon orbits in the distance, its white light bringing life to the sky. The hooded figure is surrounded by a team of eleven, each member carefully eyeing the portal. Cell-3 begins to step towards the portal, each foot creating a fresh footprint inside the muddy ground. TotallyNotThor pushes past the hooded figure, deatheater, and he walks next to Cell-3... “So... the team has decided that we’re going to go in?” Says the Druid in a worried yet consistent tone. Cell-3 nods, his green eyes now staring at the team behind him as he begins to turn around... “We as a team have decided that we will enter the portal and defeat the rift keeper. Keep your guard up. Rifts could contain anything that you can think of, and even things that you can’t think of. Hopefully we get this done on time. Everyone, follow my lead...” Says the robot, turning towards the portal once again as he finishes his briefing. Artemis begins to walk next to Deatheater, holding his shoulder as they both head into the portal in front of them. Deatheater looks towards Artemis, and she begins to speak... “You never told me what the ring does...” Deatheater laughs heartily, and he stares at her with red eyes... “You’ll find out...” And with that, the duo walks into the portal along with the rest of the team. The forested area is now rid of the team, only housing the white cosmic portal. The sounds of nature eventually fill the air, and morning begins to make its debut. • A man in a formal dress suit can be seen, fashioning a tuxedo. He was of a slim build, and navy blue dress pants covered his legs. Black dress shoes adorned his feet. A badge could be seen pinned to his dress shirt, with the words “OAFL” etched into it neatly and cleanly. His hair was trimmed short on his neck, but it was of greater density on top of his face, sloping upwards. Gel could be seen gleaming off of his hair. He had a relatively thin beard, and he sighed as he looked around his office, eyeing all his trophies and laptops and computers. He closed his eyes to take in the peace. A ripple in the cosmos is heard, a sound almost comparable to the ripping of paper. The figure falls to the floor, surprised. He looks towards the entrance of his office to see a white portal. His blue eyes widen as he stares into it. It was nothing like he had seen before. Then, twelve figures walked out of it, each following one another. He backed up against the glass wall behind him, staring at the portal. He eyed each figure as they walked through. He kept his gaze fixed on a robot of some sort. After a few seconds, twelve figures stood in the room in a horizontal manner. The robot began to speak in a very unusual tone as the group of twelve settled down... “Hello, young sir. My name is Cell-3. It seems that we have stumbled across your dimension. Mind introducing yourself?” Suddenly, the young man stood up, his eyes wide with surprise... “Cell-3... is that really you? Hoster of the Horde Mode Matches?” He said in an excited yet controlled tone. Cell-3 looked back at him with a confused stare... “What matches are you talking-“ Cell-3 stopped mid-sentence as he laid his eyes upon the man’s badge. His eyes flickered green for a few seconds, until the robot was overwhelmed with familiarity... “RunnerGunner... is that really you?” And with that, the man rushed up towards the robot and immediately started to greet him. Cell-3 smiles as RunnerGunner shakes his hand. ManofLight stares at them, with confusion. Phoenix begins to speak out of boredom... “So...mind explaining all this to us?” Cell-3 stops the greetings and looks at the team. He begins to talk in a happy tone... “This is RunnerGunner, leader of the OAFL arena fights. In the OAFL, people compete in an arena to fight for fun and for glory. I run the Horde Mode side of OAFL. We know each other quite well.” “Sounds sweet. Where do we sign up?” Says ManofLight as he looks around the room, his shadowy gaze darting from object to object. Cell-3 begins to shake his head... “Not the time to sign up. We have to find the Rift Keeper. RunnerGunner, I promise I’ll explain everything to you later, but right now, we need to know if you’ve seen any big baddies around here lately...” RunnerGunner suddenly put on a look of fear... “There’s been a new competitor who entered the arena just recently. He’s been winning against every opponent I throw at him. He’s starting to scare me, and it seems that he has a Pegasus as his outer animal...” MagicSpaceKitty starts to speak out of curiosity and confusion... “Pardon me, but... What is an Outer Animal?” As RunnerGunner began to speak, Cell-3 rushed in front of him and quickly let out a few words... “You’ll find out soon enough. Right now we have to find this guy. Where is he?” Cell-3 begins to look around until RunnerGunner points towards the glass wall behind him. Behind it a circular arena can be seen, with a huge figure in the middle of it, hulking over the obstacles littered all over the ground. It holds a giant bow with a tactical look, sporting multiple strings and a scope, along with a huge arrow. It seems to fold out as he readies it. A small scythe-like weapon with intricate designs on the black handle could be seen on its hip. An ebony sword could be seen on its back, sheathed and stylish. It was fashioned with stone-carved vines wrapped around the handle, and the head of a snake could be seen at the end of the handle. The figure itself was adorned in gladiator armor, with golden shin guards, gauntlets, and a face mask. The face mask seemed similar to a golden skull of some sort. A golden chest plate could be seen, and beneath the armor pieces was white silky fabric. Cell-3 looked at it intently, figuring out a way to get to it. Suddenly ImmaDrizzit started to rushing towards the glass wall, pushing past RunnerGunner. He charged into it, his shoulder in front of him, and Cell-3 looks behind him, only to see the Paladin’s helmet getting closer and closer until the shattering of glass is heard. Cell-3 and ImmDrizzit fall down onto the Arena’s barren ground, dust flying up as they land with a thump. Cell-3 uses his remaining hand to get up, and he stares at the figure in the arena, eyeing it with anger. The rest of the team lands silently behind them. RunnerGunner whistles, and a white wolf charges out of the office building and jumps into the arena alongside TotallyNotThor. The Druid looks beside him and smiles as he strokes its white flowing fur. The wolf howls in response. The giant gladiator figure approaches the team. Cell-3’s eyes widen in slight fear as he sees the figure getting closer. It seemed to be no more than thirteen feet tall. It gripped its bow tightly in one hand, and in the other was a rocket arrow. It stops right in front of Cell. The robot could feel the figure’s breath brush against his hardware... “You have made a grave mistake...” It says in a deep and dark voice as its skull mask stares down at Cell-3. Suddenly it throws a punch at Cell, sending him flying into a wooden wall surrounding the arena. Diana rushes towards him, and ImmaDrizzit yells out... “End this Dark scum!” The Paladin charges for the Rift Keeper’s legs, while deatheater and ManofLight dash towards its back. Phoenix Sends flaming balls of fire directly at its face, staggering it. Artemis shoots an arrow at its shoulder. The arrow’s tip barely grazes the Rift Keeper. It swats ImmaDrizzit away From its legs, sending the Paladin tumbling across the ground. ManofLight returns to his visible form, and he stabs his knife into the Rift Keeper’s leg. It winces as it knocks ManodLight back with a strike from its fist. Deatheater jumps up and lifts his scythe above him as he prepares to do some severe damage, but he finds himself flying and tumbling back as he is struck. The figure readies its bow. As it pulls the arrow back, the bow produces a whirring noise. It peers through its scope, and it shoots at TotallyNotThor, Who is rallying his injured teammates. The arrow zooms through the air in less than a second and digs into TotallyNotThor’s chest. He staggers back, until he hears a beeping. He looks at the arrow, and suddenly an explosion is heard as he is thrown up by the explosion. He lands on the ground, groaning. Blood pours out of his chest. Diana leaves the now recovered Cell-3 to tend to the Druid’s wounds. MagicSpaceKitty yells out frantically as she summons lightning to strike the Rift Keeper...

    “Our attacks don’t do anything to it! We need some more firepower!” Robo Owl flies up, as if he was responding to MagicSpaceKitty’s sentence, and his mech’s guns turn a bright red. He smiles as a blast is unleashed from both barrels, shooting out two missiles. The missiles explode as they hit the Rift Keeper, forming a crack on its shin guards... “Well that did some shit...” Says Hammerfist as he phases out, disappearing from view as an arrow comes towards him. The arrow digs into the ground where he once was, beeping for about two seconds before exploding. Dust flies everywhere as the explosion rings in the air. Foofer fires a cursed flame projectile underneath the Rift Keeper, making the ground under it transform into a hellstorm of green fire. The figure grunts and it looks below it, trying to step on the fire to stop it... “Hammerfist! Now’s your chance!” Says Foofer as he runs towards the Rift Keeper. Hammerfist appears behind the figure and hops onto its back. The Rift Keeper growls in surprise and throws the bow on the ground, using both of its hands to grab Hammerfist. Hammerfist struggles to hold on, but he eventually grips onto its chest piece and thrusts his sword into its neck. The sword goes clean through, blood bursting out of the wound as the Rift Keeper falls to its knees. The sword does not come out the other end, but it does severe damage to the Rift Keeper. Artemis sneaks up to the front of the giant hulking figure, and she reaches for its bow on the ground. She grabs it and runs back towards the rest of the team. She looks at the bow in disappointment as she slides next to TotallyNotThor, with Diana using her staff to heal him... “Damn.... I don’t have any arrows for this thing!” She says in an angered tone. Deatheater looks behind him to see Artemis look at her bow, and he points at her ring. Artemis, immediately catching sight of Deatheater, looks at the ring. It begins glowing, and suddenly, it flashes orange as an explosive arrow appears in her free hand. Artemis smiles, and draws the string back... “Don’t worry. This’ll only hurt a bit...” she says in a sarcastic tone. The whirring sound is produced, and soon the arrow is sent flying towards the figure’s face mask. The figure falls to the ground as the full impact of the force cracks its mask. Hammerfist runs back towards the team, jumping off of its back... “Great Job Hammerfist! Thanks to you, we can finally take this thing down.” Says MagicSpaceKitty with the thrill of battle in her voice. Hammerfist shrugs and lets out a few words... “Just doing my job: Disappearing and sticking my sword into things.” The figure is back up now, his mask half off, revealing half of his face. A red cybernetic eye is shown, and the face seems to be covered by patches of metal and some skin. It growls as it pulls out its mini-scythe, its sharp end gleaming with the shine of death. Suddenly, with a burst of dark smoke, two scythes are held in each of the figure’s hands. It throws one at Diana, who is almost done healing TotallyNotThor. The scythe digs into her side as she falls to the ground. The scythe levitates out of her body and it flies through the air back to the Rift Keeper’s hand. A small puddle of blood is seen around Diana as she lays on the ground. The figure laughs grimly as it prepares to throw his other scythe at the healer. The scythe leaves his hands, flying across the air. Diana looks towards it, ready to absorb the pain. A metal clang is heard. Diana looks ahead of her to see an armored figure stand in the way of the Scythe’s trajectory. Diana lets out a smile as she struggles to get up. The scythe bounces off of the Paladin’s shield and onto the ground. Deatheater picks it up, eyeing it with great interest. TotallyNotThor forms a bark barrier around Diana for her to rest in, and he, with the Paladin and wolf at his tail, charge at the figure. The wolf jumps up at he figures head and bites its neck, holding on as the figure tries to shake it off. TotallyNotThor zaps the Rift Keeper with his hands, shocking it for a brief moment. ImmaDrizzit, his face filled with determination, raises his sword over his head, ready to strike a blow, until he feels something impale him. He looks at his chest to see a black curved blade buried into his chest. He is lifted up in the air, and the Rift Keeper’s cybernetic face is seen. It laughs as it grabs the wolf off of its neck with its other hand. He throws the Paladin back onto the ground, and the wolf is sent flying towards the Druid, knocking him down with the sheer weight of the hound. The Paladin crawls towards safety, but the figure picks him back up. The Rift Keeper unleashes one punch, spattering blood all over ImmaDrizzit’s face as it grips the Paladin tightly. Phoenix, furious, rushes towards the Rift Keeper and grasps his ebony scythe tightly. He slashes the Rift Keeper’s legs, staggering it as it looks below it, growling. Phoenix distracts it, cursing at it as it tries to strike him with its remaining scythe. Artemis could be seen readying her new bow. An arrow is shot like a bullet towards the Rift Keeper’s shoulder. The arrow digs into its shoulder, beeping. It hits the arm that holds the Paladin as it explodes, blood flying everywhere. The Paladin tumbles to the ground, lifting his shield up once more at the Rift Keeper. Phoenix is kicked to the far end of the arena by the figure. Artemis smiles and she jumps in the air, about to finish off her prey as she aims for its throat. She had a clear shot. She knew it would hit. But suddenly she is sliced on her side by a projectile while midair. She falls to the ground, her bow falling next to her as blood seeps out of the wound. Deatheater curses as he sees a metal pegasus flying in the air, with blood spattered on its wing. It seemed to have hit Artemis. Robo Owl powers up his mech as he chases after it in a dogfight... “Quit horsing around and let me kill you already!” He yells at it as he fires missiles at it. The missiles explode as they hit the beast’s wing , sending it crashing into nearby bleachers. Deatheater nods to show his thanks as Robo Owl flies back to the ground. Deatheater runs next to Artemis, and he helps her up... “You good, Artemis?” He says in a worried yet grim tone. “Do I look fine to you?” She says in an annoyed tone as she points to her side, which is soaked in blood. Deatheater sighs and directs her towards the bark refuge where Diana and ImmaDrizzit had temporarily took cover. Artemis shakes her head, and she runs back over to her bow, and she picks it up, wincing as pain shoots through her... “This bow is the only thing that can penetrate its armor.” She says as she readies the bow. Deatheater nods, but he stays close to Artemis to ensure her safety. Foofer could be seen flinging cursed flames at the Rift Keeper’s face, and MagicSpaceKitty had managed to create a fountain of lightning under the figure, shocking it constantly. It had pulled out its ebony sword, and its scythe was laying on the ground, motionless and forgotten. It growled as it staggered more with every hit. Suddenly, a man in a dress suit could be seen rushing towards the beast, a gun held firmly in his hand. Cell-3, who had a gun barrel emerge out of his remaining left hand, looks at the man with worry... “RunnerGunner! What are you doing?” Yells the robot as he unloads another shot at the Rift Keeper. RunnerGunner ignored Cell as lightning surged through his hands, charging up his gun. The barrel was overwhelmed with electricity, and he was standing directly in front of the monstrosity. He aimed the gun at the Rift Keeper, and he pulled the trigger... Lighting blasted its way out of the barrel like a giant cannon shot. It hit the Rift Keeper’s Head, shocking it to ashes as its body pulsates with electricity. Its ebony sword drops to the ground. It eventually becomes nothing but a pile of ashes, and the gun’s barrel is busted. RunnerGunner looks at his gun with slight anger. ImmaDrizzit and Diana look over the cover of the bark wall. ImmaDrizzit groans as he struggles to stand up but eventually falls to the ground. His wounds were too severe. Diana winces as she helps him up, her chest hurting as blood seeps out of it. Hammerfist picks up the ebony sword, eyeing it with great joy. Artemis looks at her new bow with a predatory look. Deatheater picks up the other scythe off of the ground, holding a scythe in each hand. A wolf’s howl is heard as it runs next to TotallyNotThor, clearly adoring him. RunnerGunner begins to speak... “I have no idea who you guys are, but y’all just saved the arena and OAFL. If that guy kept competing in the arena, he would’ve eventually destroyed the arena and me. To thank you all, I have opened up my Armory to you. Loot whatever you can from it. It’s located right at the end of this arena.” The team erupts in cheers, except for deatheater, ManofLight, Hammerfist, and Phoenix, Who just let out a slight smile. The team begins to walk to the other end of the arena, with Cell and RunnerGunner at their tail, talking about OAFL matches. After about thirty seconds, the Armory door is reached, and RunnerGunner pushes to the front of the group to unlock the door. A lock loosens as the Armory opens itself up. Robo Owl was the first to step inside the dark room filled with weapons. OAFL gear was organized into rows. Weapons were stocked on top of shelves. Dim lighting flooded the area. Three rows of shelves and weapons had filled the room... “I’m going to love this place...” Says Robo Owl In an excited tone... [spoiler]Feedback is appreciated.[/spoiler] TotallyNotThor please name the wolf
