Kulalu’s Writing Challenges

Ben 10

Ben is a what...?

Ben unlocks new forms from the Coden Stream. However, not all of them are as pleasant as his usual set. This challenge is basically to give Ben the form of a more deadly or strange alien and make a story based on how that affects his life or how he goes about saving the world. Will he still be considered a hero, or be hunted down like a villain? You decide.

Kamen Rider...Who?!

A random character suddenly gets access to a rider system! The possibilities are endless!

Story Ideas

1. I Need a Team

Takes place during Mass Effect 2 (might go into into ME3 if I ever get to play it. [HOPEFULLY IT WILL HAVE A BETTER ENDING!!!}), it is a series of one-shots in a sense. Shepard needs a team to be able to take on the Collectors. However, what if the dossiers of other characters were included in the ones that The Illusive Man gave him to recruit? Focuses on recruitment missions and loyalties. May not go over every moment in ME2.

2. Ben, What the Heck are You?

Ben unlocks new forms from the Coden Stream. However, not all of them are as pleasant as his usual set. Basically, what will Ben become next and how will it affect him?

Requests for stories that I wish to see

1. Honor Among Thundercats (Thundercats 2011/Sly Cooper) (Basically, the events of the Sly Cooper games take place on Thundera)

Plot Outline:

Sly was just a young raccoon child who listened to the tales his father told him of their family history as master thieves. Then one night, the Fiendinsh Five Came and killed his parents as well as took away all the pages from the Thievous Raccoonous. He then grew up on the backstreets of Thundera with Bently and Murry, and the became a group of honorable thieves who stole from criminals while also helping out the innocent animals in the downtrodden are of the kingdom. Eventually, they will help Lion-O and his group in their quest while also looking for the lost pages of the Thievious Raccoonous and eventually do everything else they did in the games.

Possible pairings:

SlyXCarm (Maybe have Carmelita be a police officer/ guard of some sort for the mixed-animal areas of the kingdom), BentlyXPenelope

Any others are fine so long as they are reasonably done

Helpful Hints:

The events of the games should be blended well into the world of Thundera as if they were always there, this is not a 'Two Worlds Meet' story.

Maybe Wily-Kat and Wily-kit are young in-training members of the cooper gang

2. Thundercats HOOO! (Thundercats 2011/Kamen Rider OOO) ()

Plot Outline:

After the final battle, Eiji finds himself in a new world. He has also turned into some sort of animal-man (Author's choice, maybe some sort of cat that fits him). He tries to make the best of it though, despite having little money, Ankh's broken core medal, and tomorrow's underwear. Eventually, he runs into Wily-Kit and Wily-Kat who use there usual antics and steal from him. They find little from him, but end up taking half of the broken medal. Eiji then frantically searches for them until he finds them and ends up saving them from troublesome characters. After getting his medal piece back, he ends up deciding to stick with them and tries to keep them safe. While he doesn't approve of their thieving ways, he knows that they only steal what's necessary and tries to help get what they need through more honest ways, like getting odd jobs. (Maybe through one of these odd jobs he'll encounter other characters.) Eventually, the night of the Lizard attack happens and he saves the two from being destroyed with Thundera. He and the two eventually join Lion-O's group and in time the group will have Kamen Rider OOO helping them take on the forces of Mumm-ra.

Pairings:

So long as they are reasonably done and not done for smut's sake, they should be fine.

Helpful Hints:

Eiji must not be OOC. He may appear happy-go-lucky, but he really has a strong will. He should keep his lack of desire and be really willing to help out others, even strangers at the risk of his own life.

Eiji must have a good reason for getting the Core Medals again as well as the OOO Driver. No -poof- he has it again, so he then goes PutoTyRa on the bad guys.

Every main character of the Thundercats should get an encounter with a yummy.

If Ankh comes back, then there should be a good reason for it.

3. The 'Decorated' Lord of the Thundercats (Thundercats 2011/Kamen Rider OOO) ()

Plot Outline:

Idea 1:

As a young child, Lion-O hears many stories about Mumm-ra. One of them involves him encountering a cat-like creature from another world that was said to be made up of medals that could also turn others into monsters based on their darkest desires. Lion-O stumbles into a forgotten chamber in his castle where the Cat medals are stored. The Medals then fly into Lion-O and are now inside him. Years later, on the day he is to receive the sword, he wakes up from a dream where a feline creature (Kazari) speaks to him and ends with saying that the time for awakening has finally come. Now Lion-O must face the forces of Mumm-ra while also dealing with Kazari's scheming antics. Can he make the most of having the powers of a Greeed on his side, or will he give into his desire and become the new Cat Greeed?

Pairings:

Any reasonable ones you want. (Although having a harem should add to the temptation of giving in to his desire. Just saying.)

No Smut-sake

Helpful Hints:

No Totally OOC Kazari. Kazari is a schemer, so even if you have it that he is loyal to Lion-O, he'll probably have his own agenda in mind.

Lion-O is struggling to stay a Thundercat despite the Core medals within him and the temptation of the powers they give him.

Lion-O and Kazari can make Cat yummies with their cell medals.

Lion-O is undergoing the process of becoming a Greeed like Eiji and the purple medals, so keep that in mind.

The yummies are of the Cat variety. This means that they are parasitic in nature, possessing the host and forcing them to partake in their desire even at the risk of their life with the hostgaining the White Yummy 'bandages' as well as aspects like claws, until they can finally reach their complete form and consume them though they can come out at any time as well without consuming them.

Every main character of the Thundercats should get an encounter with a yummy.

Idea 2:

The Queen of Thundera had always desired to have a child of her own. Even with adopting Tygra as her own, she has always harbored this innate desire. Kazari somehow appears before/watches from the shadows and uses his main core medal on her to give her this desire. After she gives birth to Lion-O, she sees the spirit of Kazari speak to her befor he disappears, saying that she has given him another chance at life. She then has a vision of Lion-O as his young adult self but he is also standing next to a version of himself that suddenly possesses a white main and wearing yellow and black. In the future, Lion-O, the reincarnation of Kazari the Cat Greeed will go on his quest to find a way to defeat Mumm-ra and his forces. But will he be a hero with the powers of a Greeed or will he become a monster that is a greater threat to Thundara than Mumm-ra?

Pairings:

Same as the first idea.

Helpful Hints:

Same as the first idea.

4. The Extreme Phantom Busters(Extreme Ghostbuster/Danny Phantom) ()

Plot Outline: Danny, Sam, and Tucker are three other students of Professor Egon Spengler. How would the Extreme Ghostbusters turn if they had the Halfa on their side? Also, how could the Ghostbusters deal with the inhabitants of the Ghostzone Danny has been fighting since High School?

Pairings: SamXDanny, KylieXEduardo, GarretXSteffi(Persefineathious)

Helpful Hints:

Try to balance the power between the Ghostbusters and Danny.

Make sure to blend the continuity of both shows together well.

Have some of Danny's enemies team up with the ghosts from Ghostbusters.

If going with the Final movie happening, make sure to include how Danny went public and the Vlad is in space and how he comes back if you bring him back.

5. Walking the Path of Heaven Among the Stars (Mass Effect/Kamen Rider Kabuto) ()

Plot Outline:

Somehow, Tendo Souji has found himself in the World of Mass Effect. (I'm betting on Time Travel due to Hyper Kabuto)

Pairings: It's Mass Effect. Have fun!! Although, I would be very interested to see Tendo and Kasumi develop a relationship.

Helpful Hints:

MUST HAVE A BETTER ENDING THAN ME3!!!

Tendo must NOT be OOC and should not outshine Shepard too badly.

Tendo has to deal with other people trying to recruit him for their own agendas (-cough- Cerberus -cough-)

Tendo should not get the Hyper and Perfect Zecters right of the bat, but should display them later in the story. (Besides, Kabuto Rider Form should be enough to help out until later anyway.)

If Tendo is to be his...self-centered self, then try to have him attempt to not seem like an outright jerk to others.

6. Beetle Bonder Beetleborg (Rosario Vampire/Beetleborgs) (Somehow, Tsukune becomes a Beetleborg! Unfortunately, this also causes the monsters from the comics to be unleashed and ready to cause havoc. Now Tsukune must fight off their forces as well as well as the Monsters of Youkai Academy. )

Plot Outline:

Idea 1:

As a kid, Tsukune discovered the original three Beetleborgs working the Comic shop on a trip to America. There, he received a big collection of vintage Beetleborg comics that he really enjoyed. Somehow events led to him meeting Flabber, the Hillhurst monsters, and receiving the powers of the White Beetleborg. Later, he'll go back to Japan and go to Youkai Academy, only with the ability to fight back against monsters. But will the powers of the White Beetleborg be enough to help him survive a school full of monsters?

Helpful Hints:

This idea takes place after the events of the original show. It is unknown if they still make Beetleborg comics, but it probably would make sense that they completed the series due to the events of Metalix.

The original three Beetleborgs are older and work in the comic shop. It is up to you if they can still morph. However, if they can, they should have their Metallix powers.

Tsukune is a fan of the Beetleborg comics. He should have a great bunch of issues of the series, if not the whole collection. While I don't expect him to turn into a total comic geek, he should want to take good care of his copies and it could even be a point that he's a bit nervous about lending them to others (like the girls). This fact could add to his frustration later at the Enforcers when they destroy the newspapers because he doesn't like seeing such things being destroyed.

Tsukune should have the power to turn invisible at will. It is his other power as the White Beetleborg.

Idea 2:

Somehow, Tsukune meets Flabber and the Hilhurst monsters and gets his wish to become a Beetleborg! Unfortunately, this also causes the monsters from the comics and the Magnavores to be unleashed and ready to cause havoc. Now Tsukune must fight off their forces as well as well as the Monsters of Youkai Academy.

Helpful Hints:

The Hillhurst Monsters should have some sort of unusual circumstances that make them stick out in the Monster World. Like maybe they are all outcasts.

Flabber should be his fun and helpful self. He should be able to help out the Youkai gang with a bit of magic like he did in the show.

Flabber could give Yukari a magic book like he gave Roland in "Say the Magic Word".

Count Fangula should be considered a lower class Vampire. He has no doubt heard of the Akashiya Clan and tries to be of great service to help Tsukune impress Moka in order to get good connections with them and to not get a bad evaluation from his boss like in "Fangula's last bite".

Point out that Wolfgang is a different species of werewolf than Gin.

Mums's "Grim Reaper Form" could be a sign that he has Ghoul powers. The fact that he keeps this form "wrapped up" is because he has to seal them in his special bandages. If this is the case, then maybe he could help teach Tsukune how to control and properly control his own ghoul.

The Original Beetle Bonders should be used in this story. Maybe in a sequel the Metallix Forms might be used.

Maybe you could have the girls constantly try to fight over the Red Beetle Bonder. In this case, it would be interesting to see if the different users affect the form and powers of the Red Beetleborg. (Ex: Moka's is much stronger and mature looking, Kurumu's can fly and hypnotize, Mizore's has Ice powers, Yukari's can use magic, etc.)

The Magnavores should be causing trouble on Youkai Academy. Maybe they are trying to take over so that they can get through the barrier and take on the rest of the world.

Their monsters of the week should be powerful enough that they can take on the monster bullies that the gang usually faces in the manga.
