For those of you who've been waiting for it: It's about damn time I put this up, isn't it! XD
For those of you who have no idea what this is: Check out the quotes thread once in a while, or... *Points to signature*
if you're already in the cult and want to be in the fic, PM me with what you want your appreance to be- Nate, Giga, and Star, you're already in the fic, I just want to know what you want to look like- and what monster you faced. Just to make sure you actually ARE in the cult, I keep losing track. ;) If you faced more than one before you passed, just tell me what the most recent one was.
Without further ado, I give you the prologue! :)
In a realm that parallels our own, a cult was born.
It all started so simply. In a city called Ustream, a group of friends began meeting. It was a selective group, only a small circle of friends at first. They got their own television show, and on one episode, it happened.
The colosseum fell from the sky. The four on stage looked at it in surprise and disbelief.
“I think it should be tested out,” One of the four said. “Kudamon, why don’t you go in?”
Another of the four, Kudamon, looked sharply at his comrade. “Are you kidding?”
“No.”
Kudamon groaned and stepped into the colosseum. “Nate, if I die, I’m going to kill you…”
The one called Nate laughed a bit, then said, “Now go get your armor, and I'll see what it comes with. Let’s see...”
Kudamon got into his armor and muttered, “I have four minutes to live…”
Nate, meanwhile, was looking at various buttons on a small dashboard-type thing built into the wall. “Spartans, Trojans, huntresses, lions… Hmm, a Minotaur.”
Kudamon looked over. “What?” He asked sharply. “Minotaur?”
Nate grinned and pressed a button. Almost instantly, a Minotaur materialized in the middle of the colosseum. The audience leaned forward, ready to watch the fight.
Kudamon groaned again. “Damn, I’m never getting out of this colosseum alive…”
Nate smiled and pressed another button, this time getting a bag of popcorn.
“Don’t I get a sword or something?” Kudamon asked, a note of panic in his voice.
One of the other two, who had seemed to be in a conversation before this, tried to lend Kudamon his spare Death Ray, but Nate nodded and pressed a third button, and a sword appeared in midair right in front of Kudamon. Nate grinned and pressed yet another button, and the Minotaur charged.
Kudamon stood there for a second, sword held loosely, and Nate sighed and said, “I’d suggest a sidestep… right about… now!”
Kudamon leapt aside, and the Minotaur charged past him. However…
“Someone press the pause button!” Kudamon yelled.
Nate and the guy who’d tried to lend Kudamon the Death Ray sprang for the pause button. Nate pressed it a split second after the other guy.
The fourth person, a girl who’d been screaming at the crowd for money, blinked and asked, “What? There was a pause button here?”
“This colosseum is awesome,” Nate laughed.
The other guy raised an eyebrow. “We both pushed it. Wouldn’t that unpause everything?”
“Umm…”
The four turned to see the Minotaur charging into the stands.
Nate screamed, “The Minotaur is loose!”
Kudamon realized he was still holding the sword and threw it at the Minotaur point-first while the others were yelling, “Get it!”
The point struck the Minotaur, which promptly disintegrated.
“Woah,” Nate said. “Nice shot.”
The other guy, meanwhile, got hit by parts of the Minotaur that hadn’t disintegrated. He grimaced and said, “Gross.”
Kudamon laughed. “Bad luck, Giga… Now, Nate, let’s see you give it a shot…”
Eventually this colosseum appeared whenever someone new came to the show, and it became a sort of initiation as they steadily formed the cult. Kudamon became the leader- by both votes- and so they continued, building their cult and extending it past just humans.
A dragon framed against the moon.
C+C, of course. :)
