Sorry for the delay. I know many of you out there know how school can be. I've got a few ideas for my next spider riders fan fic (yes this one is getting towards the climax) and I'd like you folks reading this to pick the one you like the most in the reviews. I've turned on anonymous reviews for those of you non-users reading this. All have hunterxCorona and HunterxAqune First (PS the main POV for all ideas is NOT through the eyes of Hunter Steel but the random earthen kid that gets mixed up in all the craziness, I've seen many animes giving the obvious main character minute focus and it gave me ideas) idea:
You're average teenager is enjoying his/her (you decide gender in the reviews) first cruise with the family when said teenager finds out that the hottest kid (yet again, the gender of this will be decided in the most popular choice for the main POV's gender) from his/her school just so happen to have a room right next to theirs. They make friends and towards the end of the cruise the hot kid says that he/she was a friend of Hunter's and that this cruise was going to the town of the ruins Hunter vanished at. Before the Cruise could finish and after land came in view a huge storm hit. Being separated from his/her parents the main POV and friend get on to life boats with out them (the main POV has a plastic water proof see through back pack holding many objects and a lunch for two) some one on the life raft panics, main POV tries to be a hero and gets knocked over. The main POV gets pulled into a whirl pool and pulled under water. After getting sucked down there's a flash of light and the main POV falls through an enormous pillar-like water fall that goes into a white unpopulated city in side of (what he/she doesn't know is) the inner world. MEANWHILE: the riders are in said city by the oracle's orders to investigate an evil that threatens the inner world's water supply. Next idea:
Recently in Hunter's home town (another readers choice, you decide weather Hunter lives in a small town or a city AND weather Hunter lived in Japan or America! Sorry readers from the UK) there have been sightings of a huge spider thing in a patch of forest land in the town. The main POV this time it's a girl) gets peer pressured into checking the place out. She's a bit of a scaredy cat. The group eventually gets to a strange looking well; its very large (just large enough for the described spider 0o). The kids trick the main POV into leaning over and they push her in. They hear her screaming at the top of her lungs, look in, and see her getting pulled down in a brightly glowing quick sand stuff. MEANWHILE the riders are learning of an ancient legend saying that if two earthens ever were to be in the inner world at once it would mean some thing is threatening the boundary between the worlds and that the oracle needs the help of TWO earthen riders. Last idea:
Here we have an average earthen girl who is relatively unsatisfied with her life. Even though she's mainly brains and one start easily she yearns for an adventure. She some times wishes that the world would get in peril just so she could have the chance to save it. Little does she know she's about to get her wish. One day the Main POV (girl I just finished describing) was walking with a group of kids to work on a float for a parade run by the school (they can do stuff like this since it's a small town) and the group sees a large helicopter over head; the kind used to transport large groups of people for military purposes. There's an explosion on the helicopter and all the kids take out cameras and phones to film the incident. The main POV also does this open-mouthed from amazement. She sees some shadow fly out from it then some thing shiny start to fall down towards her. And said object attaches it self to her wrist. Its similar to a manacle; only silver with a sapphire blue stone on the part that's over her wrist. The next day the school is attacked by terrorists, she managed to make it to the roof only to be cornered. Then a boy riding some sort of armored spider thing steps in pwning every terrorist in sight and helping the main POV make her escape. She sees that this person is the famous missing 14 year old Hunter Steel! That's it for the ideas; I'll be getting to the story now.
Hunter awoke with nothing but shadows around him on all sides. He couldn't move his limbs. He found they were bound with chains. "Glad to see you're awake little rider" an all too familiar voice said. "Where… is this… place…?" Hunter said struggling to move. "Just you're high school; redone with our nightmare gems. I must say, having hundreds of you earthen children gathered into one place makes capturing you much easier. Can't wait until we make assaults on other places. But first comes the inner world." Hunter got up only to be knocked out again.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"So what's the plan?" it was obvious that the riders had become very accustomed to having an earthen as their leader. "We ask around and see what we can dig up. My parents are still busy getting tickets out of the town and answering questions; so they should be busy for a while. Call every one else on you're manacle once you've gotten a decent lead on where Hunter might be." It was about a half an hour of asking questions when Violet busted out the "my-big-brother-was-a-reporter-and-he-died-doing-what-he-loved" thing and they got some thing out of a CNN reporter. "A weird black crystal formation appeared where the high school was. If you ask me that's where those what ever they ares are setting up base." The other riders heard this over the manacles and were about to leave when the students at the high school that managed to get away stopped them. You guys are going to stop those monster things aren't you?" Violet nodded. "When you get there… be sure to give them the ass whooping of a life time! You hear me?" the captain of the basketball team shouted. "No one does this to our town, kidnaps our friends, ruins our Halloween dance and gets away with it!" the student body president said. "We'll be cheering you on!" a few members of the cheerleading squad said. "Hey… Igneous, was it?" Gabby from the newspaper said "Go-good luck! Not that you'll need it or any thing!"
"We'll make a distraction so you guys can get through on those huge spider things with as few people as possible noticing. It'll be when you hear three of us shouting that there's a huge spider thing on the roof." Cody told them. In five minutes they heard just that. When the most people were focused on the roof the riders made their move.
It was ten minutes on the battle spiders to the school; now a bleak formation of black crystals. Violet stepped onto Serenity's stone to change into her more powerful form. They were ready to go when "so you decided to come spider riders?" the nightmare in the mask showed up. "Want to save you're friend don't you?"
"Why else would we be here?"
"Unfortunately for you my music loving friend it's too late."
"IF YOU DID ANY THING TO HUNTER WE'LL-" the furious Corona was interrupted by a "relax. Hunters not dead. In fact he couldn't be better." (Snap) a flash of shadows came and there was Hunter. The riders didn't know weather it was an illusion or reality; but it was enough to fool Corona. "Hunter!" she ran to him teary eyed. She embraced him to hear a drop of her own blood hitting the black top beneath her feat. "CORONA!" The riders all rushed up to corona to find that this Hunter had stabbed her. Luckily it avoided any fatal points. "THAT'S A FAKE!" Magma shouted. "Oh not really! This is the real one! We just control him!" "We know why you're doing this to him but what good would such power do you?!" if the nightmare wasn't wearing a mask he would look really serious. "Most likely you've only heard part of the legend. But that little brat Destiny, and her deep brown eyes and flowing dark hair… We were once beings of light. We gave children happy dreams at night. Until one of our kind discovered that those ungrateful whelps couldn't even remember our wonderful gifts. To top it all off their parents told them to ignore the wonderful works of art we put into their minds."
"What are you talking about? Dreams never make sense!"
"But twelve thousand years ago sleeping was a true escape to a near heaven. But then one of our kind realized that the true way to go would be to torment children at night. And soon enough nightmare became reality. There were many that didn't join that great spirit of fear, and alas; they were destroyed. But that woman whom was the one that was gifted with his first dream…"
"ENOUGH TALK!" Violet removed the mask that came with her armor and her eye color returned to normal (if I didn't say it before Violet's eye color changes when she transforms). "RETURN HUNTER!" the nightmare stood silent. "Master Armageddon…"
"Crazy monster say what?"
"GO MY FOLLOWERS! TAKE THE EARTHEN GIRL AND KILL THE REST!" before they could defend themselves the nightmares surrounded all of them attacking over and over again. "Oh, and you can take these." The nightmare tossed the Oracle keys at them; drained of their power they were useless. "AUUUUGH!" Violet collapsed and was lifted away as she saw her friends being defeated. "I have waited so long to see you're image reflected a new" the nightmare whispered into Violet's ear. But before the riders were lost a light appeared from beneath the ground and the riders were whisked away.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Where… is this… place"
"Welcome to the city of Pneuma. You must be the newest rider. The invecteds told me of you." Violet opened her eyes to find a woman in strange clothing and a crown with dozens of others behind her all rustling and whispering. She was on a bed in what looked like some old time infirmary; only with strangely dressed doctors. "THE OTHER RIDERS!"
"You have to calm down. Right now they're in much better shape than you; while our maidens have healed them some of the nightmare poison still flows through you're veins!" Violet was really numb but she still forced her self to move. "Violet are you OK?" all the riders rushed in front of her. "Why did the nightmares attempt to capture you when Hunter was the one they wanted?" Aqune asked. "I'm not sure… I remember the leader saying that he had waited a long time to see my image reflected a new. But I've never mat the guy. But for now… where are we?"
"This is the inner world Violet. The Oracle's maidens managed to open a gateway to summon us to the inner world" Lumen answered. "So this is the inner world…? But I still want to know why that guy said he'd seen me before."
"I can explain that." The royally dressed woman came forward. "I am the queen of Pneuma and an Oracle's hand maiden y self. You know the legends of the birth of the nightmares and how they were defeated no?"
"We know."
"Well the real truth to how they were defeated was that their leader fell in love with Destiny. She had never given up on the dreams she was blessed with at night even when her family took ever measure to convince her otherwise. That is what convinced Armageddon to turn on his own kind. As I bet you can guess he was thrilled to learn that the child he guarded was alive and only fought him because she believed she was avenging him."
"That still doesn't explain why I resemble him!"
"I'm getting there. Armageddon realized that the evil he had created was too great and asked Destiny to kill him. Eventually it was the start of hearing Oran scream that made her do it. They sealed the nightmares away. But what very few knew was that Destiny bore Armageddon's child. Now as we speak the nightmares are using Hunter and the power of the oracle keys to take over both worlds."
"If Hunter wasn't being controlled we would stand a chance. Now it'd take the oracle to win."
"That's it!" Lumen shouted. "What's it?" Violet asked "you're it!" he replied "say what…?"
"Remember the story! An earthen rider will have power that matches that of the oracles! Violet I think you're the one!" every one in the room stared at them. "Think about it! You have to be descended from Destiny!"
"But isn't it Hunter?"
"Maybe not." The queen of Pneuma said "the power that Hunter has right now is that of the Oracle keys, not his own." The riders thought for a second "and we've all seen how powerful Violet is in battle."
"But that is no match for Hunter's ultimate form and that is the extent of the oracle's power." Aqune said. "Maybe there's some sort of lock binding the power?"
"You know every time I've ever done some thing that involves exerting real power I've always felt some thing holding me back."
"The legends do speak of some thing like that for the bearers own sake."
"But who could remove such a bind?"
"Who else. A person who's done it before; the oracle."
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The riders and over a dozen oracle's hand maidens were gathered in a circle around Violet kneeled and praying. "Oh oracle." Violet said "we ask of you're guidance in our time of need. Please… show you're self to us and answer our prayers Oran!" a light came down from the heavens and in a flash there she was; the oracle. Emanating with near divine power. "Riders of the inner world and out. I've heard you're call and I know of the evils threatening our homes. But alas there is only one with the power to defeat the nightmares now that they have my keys and it is neither me nor Hunter. It is you Violet." Violet stared as the Oracle kneeled in front of her "I see so much likeness to both my dear friend and her lover. I can release the lock that binds you're power, but be warned the power may come at a cost."
"What do you mean?" Corona asked "it just may eat her human body alive from the inside out. She'd become a spirit just as I, never being able to live amongst the normal again. On top of that you're spiritual life would be greatly extended, you would watch over jealously waiting until the end of the world simply so you could pass on and be with you're loved ones just as I do." A tear dropped from the oracle's eye "do you still accept?"
"Yes, any thing for my friends and family."
"Very well. I will release the bind on you're power." There was an aurora like light and when the riders opened their eyes; there was violet with completely new armor, a staff with a moon and star and silvery-blue eyes that seemed to emanate with starlight. Her boots went to her knees and had markings on them, her chest plate had similar marks and her elbow long gloves did too. But the most amazing thing was that Violet had two wings sticking out of her back! But they weren't angel wings, you could tell; the quills on the quills of the quills of the feathers were tiny crystals (just for the record it's REALLY hard to describe Violet's armor accordingly with how I'm picturing it. First off the gems on the boots and gloves are floating on this little oval like thing that isn't full circle. There is also one of those really long skirt things that have no sides and are just two pieces of long armor attached with a belt and with waving cloth under it. And in no way is this revealing; there's a jump suit sort of thing under and it ends about 2 and ½ inches off the legs.) "Well, guess I should be going now."
"I'm coming with you"
"Serenity…"
"We can merge." Violet stepped on to Serenity and she seemed to join with her. Now there was blue mixed in with the silver of the armor and along with the wings there were spider leg things like those Hunter gains in his final form. Violet closed her eyes spread her wings and came off the ground and flew far to the right. She took the form of a shooting star and was off in a blaze of light.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
In the outer world all the people of Hunter's town watched in dismay as (they didn't know it was him) Hunter was being manipulated into destroying every thing in sight. Two black angel wings had formed on his back. He was about to strike at the refugee camp when a light very familiar to James and Kane intervened. There Violet was. She pulled Hunter up into the skies with the whole world watching. "I won't let you control my friend any more!"
"How can this be?" the nightmare from before said "Hunters the one with the power! You must have borrowed the oracles!"
"You've got it backwards. I won't let you hurt any one again!" Violet flew at him and attempted to force the nightmares out with her staff. The possessed Hunter dodged and came at Violet. She blocked with her staff and threw him 20 feet! The spectators couldn't believe what they were seeing, a battle to determine the fate of 2 worlds over their heads! You can do it violet! The possessed Hunter summoned a scythe. He flew forward and their blades were pressed againsed each other and they were pushing to see who would be over powered. Their power was too great. In a flash of darkness and light there was a huge explosion. But the one remaining was none other than Violet! Holding Hunter in her arms! She flew down.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Hunter had woken up and was set down gently; but violet was gone. The riders had used the gateway to the outer world and their friends had snuck out to find them. Hunter was staring up at the sky. James (no longer in his costume) ran over in the warm renewed sun light. "THAT WAAS AMAZING! YOU WERE ALL LIKE… where's Violet?" Hunter and the other riders were silent "no… this is some kind of joke… right?"
"I wish it was…"
The
two of us heard The
faraway echoes of the whales' voices All the things I
lost The amber sun in which the answer
lurks A soul that holds the
sparkle of immortality I've loved you since
ten thousand and two thousand years ago Before life
ends Memories of the dreams we lived, which I
carefully cherished I've loved you since ten thousand and two
thousand years ago You grow up repeatedly and I've loved you since ten thousand and two
thousand years ago I've
loved you since ten thousand and two thousand years ago
Embracing them in this hand Where
will I wander to now?
If we hadn't met
Don't hurt
I was born to know this feeling
I grew to love you more in
the days when eight thousand years have passed
I'll still love you
after one hundred million and two thousand years
From that day I
knew you, music won't cease in this hell of mine
I want to undo this sleeping grief
The beautiful moon, swallowed by hope and
standing still
Arise
Don't forget Your dreams
I was born while
dwelling in a prayer
I grew to love you more in the days when eight
thousand years have passed
I'll still love you after one hundred
million and two thousand years
From that day I knew you, music
won't cease in this hell of mine
Go
into the distance over and over again
Watching over you, unable to
sleep, even though I became disheveled
For the sake of singing
your name...
I grew to love you more in the days when eight
thousand years have passed
I'll still love you after one hundred
million and two thousand years
From that day I knew you
I grew to
love you more in the days when eight thousand years passed
I'll
still love you even if one hundred million and two thousand years
pass
From that day I knew you, music won't cease in this hell of
mine
(Song is an altered version of the Aquarion opening) Violet was in James' arms squeezing him with all her love "I.. did it…!"
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
(A few weeks later) "How was school Hunter?" Mrs. Steel asked "great. Got to go, meeting some friends." Hunter ran down the street and saw Violet. "Ready to go?"
"Must you ask me that every time?" the two made it into the park where they found a silver doorway with a spider on it.
THE END! Remember to vote for the next one in the reviews!
