//------------------------------// // A new world // Story: Tales of Epic Fantasy // by Krokorokok //------------------------------// "Come on guys! Me and Anna already set up a good spot for the picnic!" an orange haired girl yelled from the distance, smiling. Her name is Natalie or Natz as what her teammates call her. She was a fair skinned girl with an orange hair color and aquamarine irises. She was the mage in her group, a white mage to be precise. A type of mage whom specializes in both holy magic and black magic as well. From healing spells to destructive ones, she was capable of wielding them with ease. She was currently wearing one of her old clothes, a white robe that was the formal wear of the white mages. A fairly simple work, using a rather strong and durable but soft kind of fabric, that was enchanted by other white mages for protection against magical sources. In her left hand, she was holding her oldest staffs that she had first used on her first day on being a white mage, a crystal staff. Forged with a magical wood from a sacred tree and a crystal in the middle tied together with red string, she owed this staff many thanks due to it being rather durable and giving her a rather significant way to boost her spells. "Alright! We'll be there soon! Just helping out with ol' red head!" a golden haired guy replied, waving his hand towards Natz. His name is Matthew or Matt as what his friends call him. He too was a fair skinned guy with a golden hair color and light blue irises. He was the swordsman of his team and the overall meat shield. His brute strength is unrivaled and his swordplay is the most feared among all over swordsmen in his world, thus dubbing himself as the 'Greatest swordsman alive'. He was currently wearing his usual attire. A pirate captains shirt, with a black vest, red scarf, black captains pants and a pirate captains hat that had a grey skull with two bones forming an 'X'. This attire was given to him by his father when he first left on his adventure. He used to be a pirate captain captain, sailing the seas and having epic battles but soon retired when he had a huge stash of gems, golden coins and other valuable items with him. And so, on Matt's 15th birthday, his father gave him the very same attire we wore, although it seemed rather big at first, he grew into it and it soon fit him like a glove. In his left hand was his most beloved sword that was given to him by a special person. It was a sword forged with ruby's with a pure white blade which was reinforced with diamond, and a red hilt with a golden wing design. It was named 'The Heavens Gate' after its rather holy design powers corresponding to holy elements. "For gods sake Matt! Help me with this stuff will ya?" a red headed guy soon entered Matt's vision, making him smile. This guy is named Lance. A slightly tanned guy with a dark maroon hair and red irises. He was the gunslinger among his teammates, wielding a black gunblade. His agility and swiftness is a scary factor as well as his insane accuracy in the battlefield. Not to mention he can provide air support to help bombard his enemies from afar. He was currently wearing his old officer's uniform, consisting of his all black jacket, hat and pants. On his jacket were a multitude of medals during his service in the army when he was only 15. He first met Matt and Natz just a year ago, when he was apparently trying to take over the world with his very own Valkyrie Tank, a mobile vehicle dedicated to destruction. Designed by him, it was also the very same vehicle he used when he first fought against Matt and Natz. In the end, he lost against their combined powers and eventually surrendered, in which he and the two of them were now on good terms, using their powers to help save the world from the many dangers. Well...Unlike one time when Lance went kind of crazy and kidnapped Natz, in which Matt had to come to save her. The trio went to many different places, including a desert where many hideous worms lived, a tundra where they battle against the last woolly mammoth and through the center of a black hole, where they faced their most powerful enemy as a trio. Akron. A being that was said to be extinct for centuries, only to have been awoken accidentally by the trio. In a case to stop him from absorbing the world, the three of them fought him in an intense battle that seemed to have lasted for years. Eventually, the being was killed and was no longer bringing harm to the world, resulting in the trio to lay low to relax. However, this was changed when they met a peculiar green hair girl. "Come on guys! Both of you are slow!" the same green haired girl shouted from the distance, giggling from the sight of two guys having to carry a lot of stuff. Her name is Anna. A fair slightly tanned green haired girl with emerald colored irises. She was the archer among the entire party, shooting arrows to help bombard her opponents, provide support, absorb buffs and a number of other things. Famed for being able to connect to Gia herself, she is able to provide a multitude of ways to support her allies. She was wearing her usual home outfit, a green dress with sleeves that was the same color as her hair. She was by far the youngest out of the party, with Matt and Lance being 17, Natz being almost 17, and Anna being only 15. She is also a very outgoing and is a nature loving person, due to her having grown up in a village located in a forest. But even so, she was also very childish in nature. It was odd on how the trio met Anna. Apparently, the jewel that was being kept in Anna's hometown, was stolen by an unknown being. With that, Anna went on her adventure to retrieve it back, meeting Matt, Natz and Lance along the way. On their adventures, they also found out that another sacred jewel was stolen, making Anna think that someone or something was trying to bring back the creator of the world. Godcat herself. In their rush to head to another town to find whether the last jewel was safe, Anna told the trio on how the divine being created the world and the first two cats along with it. However, seeing that her children had forsaken her, she took away their arms and legs, leaving them as they are. This caused Matt to abruptly hug his cat, NoLegs, saying how horrible of a creator he had. However, they were soon too late when they found that the last jewel was stolen as well. In a fit of rage, Anna began to mercilessly attack any creatures that stood in her path. Along the way to find clues as to where they might be, Matt found a few dozen cats climbing a tall mountain and, just barely, seeing that they had the jewel with them. Hurrying his teammates, the four heroes soon went on their way to stop them. Unfortunately, they were too late, once again, as Godcat herself was now back in both of her forms. The battle that was waged between the four heroes and Godcat lasted for hours, with the 4 heroes being ragged and tired. Even so, the heroes continued on fighting. Many spells were used, limits were broken and blood was shed. Finally, when the heroes thought their end was in a blink of an eye, Godcat pitied them and spared their lives, leaving the world in search of a new one. After that, many months later, the 4 heroes were simply enjoying life as it was right now, with no fighting, no wars and just relaxation. They deserved it anyways. ~=~ After the red and white checkered mat was placed, Natz and Anna sat down, helping to set up some plastic plates. "You know guys, we really need more this. Nothing but relaxation" Natz said, her orange hair was flowing in the wind. "I agree. Adventuring is really hard work! How do you guys do it?" Anna asked, her curiosity getting the best of her. Her head was currently cocked to the side, looking at her teammates with a small smile. Both Matt and Lance looked at each other with a slight worried look. They faced Anna once again with a pokerface before shrugging their shoulders. They continued to empty one of the basket they brought along. Natalie shook her head and chuckled. "Guys" she softly said to herself. After a while, both the guys had emptied the two baskets and entire mat was packed with food, making both the guys salivate at the mere sight of the delicious food. With the two females chuckling at the sight of their friends salivate, they finally ate the food that was presented. The wind gently blew against the faces of the four heroes, their hair blowing towards the opposite way. The four continued to relax, unaware of a certain sphere over in the distance that was gradually growing in size. However, their chatter soon died down when Lance was aware of the certain object in the distance. "Erm...Guys...Do any of you know what the hell that thing is?" Lance said, pointing towards the rather visible multicolored sphere. The group soon turned silent when the sphere began to grow even bigger and bigger. "Wait a second...That's a portal!" Natalie exclaimed. Unfortunately for the group, the portal suddenly quadrupled in size and its suction increased exponentially. The four of them didn't have any time to react as they were soon whisked into the portal to whoever know where. Once they were through, the portal then gradually decreased in size up until it suddenly vanished. =Equestria. Location: Ponyville= It was a lovely afternoon in Ponyville. The many different technicolored ponies were well on their way with their usual routine. Shops were open and busy as ever. However, there was one shop that seemed to be having very little customers. Sugarcube Corner. Famed for having the best pastries and baked good in the entire town and probably, the entire world. Inside the bakery was a pink earth pony named Pinkie Pie. As the name suggests, everything about her was a different shade of pink. A slightly darker pink mane and tail, a pink fur color as well as a pair of blue irises. She was currently wearing her usual attire, a yellow blouse with blue stripes at the bottom and a blue skirt with a picture of her cutie mark. Sitting behind the counter, Pinkie was currently twirling her hair around due to being bored out of her wits. "You betcha mister narrator! It's so boring around here!" (Psst! Pinkie! Can you cut out the 4th wall breaking for a while? Pretty please?) "Okie Dokie Loki mister narrator!" Pinkie brightly replied in thin air, seeming answering nopony whatsoever. Her arms soon slouched against the counter as she continued to observe, hoping something would happen. And suddenly, her wish seemingly came true. For a brief period, Pinkie noticed a bright light spark in the middle of entire bakery. The light soon grey more intense and suddenly, a bright flash of light appeared, blinding Pinkie for a moment. Rubbing her eyes with her hands, she then looked at the same exact spot. Noticing that were two females lying on the floor unconscious. Pinkie jumped from her seat and gasped, seeming able to stay afloat in the air for a brief moment, before landing back on the floor and proceeded her way towards the unconscious females. With her head cocked to the side, she took note of their faces, their clothing, mane color and those sort of stuff before she decided to gather her friends and ask what might have happened. Before exciting the building, however, Pinkie magically brought out a blanket from behind her back and laid it on too of the two females. Once that was done, she bolted through the door in lightning speed, leaving the unconscious females behind.
