Planet Eilaela Retold (story)

Revision as of 14:32, 8 July 2022 by Er1c1996 (talk | contribs)

This is a complete rewrite of Roleplay:Planet Eilaela, meant to start from scratch and rework some of the clunkier writing that had been held over in the original version.

The Crew

Vultro the Fox

A fennec fox and the tallest and skinniest among his friends. He has trademark large ears, cream colored fur, and spiky white hair. His sneakers are blue and red, and he usually wears white gloves. He does not always think about the consequences of his actions, which often lands him in trouble.

Raven the Gray Wolf

Raven is a tall gray wolf born in the Sol dimension. She has a natural connection to the Sol Emeralds. She has a light gray muzzle, blue plated armor, and has specially crafted black combat boots. A fierce warrior with a coarse personality, Raven usually only shows her inner kindness to her closest friends, and very rarely at that.

As an assistant guardian of the Sol dimension, she is sometimes allowed possession of the Sol Emeralds.

Wreck the Fox

Wreck is a muscular black fox with slicked spiky hair, blonde chest fur, and golden yellow eyes. He usually wears white boots and matching gloves. He is the strongest of the crew, and his brute strength can take on most foes that he encounters. He is dating Frankie the Bat, and agreed to come along on the journey with the promise of some sort of surprise from her when they arrive.

Wreck met Vultro three years prior to this story, on an adventure called The Secret of Robots.

Frankie the Bat

Frances “Frankie” the Bat is a skinny red bat with brown eyes, yellow and purple boots, brown gloves, and a light blue tank top and bandana. She is the girlfriend of Wreck and traveled with him on this trip with the idea of bringing him on a surprise romantic date on an exotic planet. Her flight abilities make her a useful addition to the team, along with her speed and agility while in the air.

She also has heightened hearing and can hear sounds from a much further distance than the rest of the team.

Tracker the Dog

Tracker is an orange bloodhound from the city of Techtown, a cybercity famous for its technology and unique regional accent. The son of Leon, the leader of the Techtown Freedom Fighters, Tracker lived in Techtown until he was chosen to embark to Mobius. He believes that visiting Ethos is an integral part of his mission.

He has an incredible sense of smell that allows him to track a scent for miles and brings with him some very advanced technical knowledge.

Cync the Cat

Cyncatia “Cync” the Cat is a light blue cat and the newest friend of Vultro. She has long curly brown hair with pink highlights, green eyes, and wears a light blue tank top with black shorts. Cync met Vultro shortly before the events of this story, and they became quick friends.

She has a unique shapeshifting ability that enables her to take the form of many creatures, including her friends and enemies.

Jenny the Fox

Jennifer “Jenny” the Fox is an arctic fox from Mobius. She is similar in size to Vultro, sporting platinum-blue fur, a bushy tail, and purple gloves and clothing. She is skinny and fast like Vultro too, being able to outrun many of her foes. She never knew her father, but she was extensively trained by her mother in Chaos magic as she grew up.

She can cast spells using Chaos energy, some even without possession of a Chaos Emerald.

Story

Chapter 1

Raven the Wolf would spend most of her teenage days studying the nature of the Sol dimension. After all, she wanted nothing more than to be a famed Sol Guardian, like her idol Blaze. But every once in a while, it was nice to pop over to the other world. After all, her best friend Vultro lived on Earth, and there was no way that she was going to go more than a few days without checking on him.

Though she liked to act tough and pretend that all the emotional stuff didn't matter, deep down she really valued the friendship she had with Vultro. She might not express it, but having friends was what made those long days of study and sleepless nights worth it.

Vultro seemed unusually excited today as she strolled into his cave. "Hey, Vultro. What's up?" she said as she sat on a large rock. "Well... I have an idea. A really cool idea." Not this again, she thought. "Hit me with it, bud." Vultro's wide and somewhat awkward smile grew. "I want to go to space!" Raven took a moment to process this statement. She cleared her throat. "Space? Like, outer space you mean?" Vultro nodded. "Yeah! I want to go to space, and I want to build my own spaceship too!" Despite wanting to roll her eyes at this insane notion, she knew she could only nod and agree. "Yeah... you should. Could be cool." Deep down she doubted if a twelve-year-old could even draw a spaceship, let alone build a working one. She would never shoot down something Vultro was excited about, so she let it slide.

"I'm gonna go to Techtown, I'm gonna find an engineer, and I'm going to do it." Raven let out a slight chuckle. "That's great. I can come if you want." Vultro smiled. "Yeah!" Raven returned the smile, something she was trying to be better about doing lately.

That was almost four years ago, Raven thought to herself. She could not believe that she was now sitting on the very ship Vultro had dreamed of making, as it neared their destination of Ethos.

"Alright guys. We should be arriving at Ethos within the hour!" Vultro said. Wreck the Fox groaned. Despite Vultro's giddiness, the voice was grating to his ears. "Frankie," he mumbles as he turns to his partner, "Now will you tell me what we're going to this random planet for?" Frankie chuckles. "I told you, it's a surprise! Just a bit longer, sweetie." Wreck rolls his eyes and leans back in his chair.

Cyncatia is standing next to Vultro at the helm, looking out the front window of the ship. Her triangular ears twitched as she stared out into the vast emptiness. Finally, Vultro's words register with her. "Vultro, didn't you just say we're almost there? At Ethos?" Vultro looks down at the dashboard, only to look up again in confusion at the empty space. He thumps on one of the radar displays with his finger. "What the..."

"What's going on?" she asks. Vultro points to the radar scanner. "The radar is saying Ethos is right there in front of us... but it's not. I looked away for a minute, now it's gone." Cyncatia stares at the radar for a moment. "How strange," she says. She notices a bright flash out of the corner of her eye, and looks back out the window. As if out of nowhere, the horizon is now completely filled by a strange-looking, green and brown planet. "Vultro!" she yells as a fireball begins to form around the ship.

Raven, now fully alert, jumps out of her chair. "Vultro, how did you miss that giant planet? It's a planet!" Vultro is looking around frantically at his instruments. "It's not on the radar Raven, it wasn't even there a minute ago! Ask Cync!" Raven frowns and turns back to her seat.

She fiddles around in her bag for a moment and looks up with concern. "Look, I have the Sol emeralds," she admits. "Tell me right now. Are we crashing?" Vultro continues to fiddle with the landing controls, trying to prepare the ship for a proper landing. "Vultro!" she barks. "Tell. Me. Right. Now. Are we going to crash?" "Yes! Yes!" he snaps back. "I can't get the landing sequence to activate!" he yells. Vultro shut his eyes, full of fear and regret for bringing his friends along to die. I guess this is it... he thinks as he awaits the inevitable.

Chapter 2

Jenny has always been incredibly interested in the world of magic. Her mother, a very powerful sorceress fox, would teach her little spells and incantations every weekend. One week she would learn how to levitate toys, another she would learn how to refill her cup using water from the air.

But one thing she was never allowed to learn was Chaos magic, the magic harnessed from Chaos Emeralds. "Chaos magic is too dangerous," her mother would tell her. "Even the passive energy spells can be trouble."

Jenny would ask every week, regardless of how many times mother said no. This went on for what seemed like years, with her always getting the same response. One time, the week of her twelfth birthday, her mother sat her down. "It's time," she said. Jenny's eyes lit up. Her mom sat down behind her, holding her arm up. "Stick out your pointer finger, honey." Jenny did so, and her mother began to guide her arm into a strange series of arcs. A bubble-like purple shield appeared around them. "It's a protection spell," she said quietly. "Your first tase of Chaos magic." Jenny giggled. "I hope you never need to use it, but I also never want you to be in danger." She had a hint of concern to her voice, though she tried her best to mask it behind a smile.

Jenny dreams about her mother a lot, about the days when she used to always look forward to spell day. Her dream was rudely interrupted by a loud commotion in the cabin.

She slowly opens her eyes to see Raven diving into her seat, strapping herself in and securing her bag. Wreck straightens up in his seat and checks his seatbelt, looking over to make sure Frankie is safe. It takes only a few moments to figure out what's happening. As if her mother was there again, her arms begin to move on their own, forming a magic symbol in the air. A purple bubble expands to cover the entire ship, as the ship plummets towards a murky body of water.

There is a blinding flash of light, paired with an ear-shattering explosion. Ship parts were scattered high into the air, raining down like tiny meteors. Miraculously, Jenny's spell seems to protect everyone on board, plunging them into the swampy water unharmed.

Raven and Cyncatia are the first to surface, the latter surfacing in the form of a dolphin. "Where's Vultro! He can't swim!" Vultro's hands barely break the surface, thrashing towards Cyncatia. He scurries onto her back, coughing up water. "Thank you, Cync." Raven looks around for the rest of the crew. "Where is everyone else?"

A short distance away, Wreck and Frankie both submerge from the swamp. "Yuck, so much for a surprise date..." Frankie said under her breath. Wreck blinks and shakes his head. "This was your idea of a date?" Frankie frowns. "Ugh, just forget it. Let's get over to Raven."

"Where are we?" Cyncatia asks as she scans her surroundings. There are low trees, slippery rocks, and lots of murky swamp water. She notices Vultro staring at what's left of the ship. "Wherever we are, our way out of here is busted," he said. Nearby, Tracker suddenly pops out from under the water, flailing around until he reaches a fallen tree to stand on. Evidently, he had been in such a deep sleep that he hadn't even awoken during the panic. "So much for a warm Ethos welcome," he said. "This isn't Ethos," Vultro said. "I actually have no idea what this place is."

Jenny is the last to surface, joining the rest of the group. She takes a moment to catch her breath. "I... I would just freeze over all this water, but... cryomancy isn't exactly my specialty." She tries to catch her breath as she treads nearby. "It's okay," Raven says quietly. She looks down at her now soaked bag, still slightly open, and her eyes go wide. "Where is it?" she yells as she rummages through the bag. "Where's what?" Wreck asks. "The silver emerald!" She dives under the water, but the murky swamp water stings her eyes. She resurfaces, coughing, and spins in circles trying to find it. She yells in frustration. "The silver Sol Emerald is gone."

After a few deep breaths, she collects her thoughts and treads over to Vultro. "I knew I shouldn't have brought these." She rummages in the bag and pulls out the green emerald. "Vultro, this place gives me bad vibes. I want you to hold on to this until we get the silver emerald back." Vultro's concerned expression intensified. "Wouldn't it be more safe with you?" he asked. "Like I said, I just have a bad feeling. If something happens to me or this bag, then they'll all be gone." Vultro nods, placing the emerald in his pouch. He puts his hand on Raven's shoulder. "First, we have to try and fix the ship. Then, we'll find the emerald. I promise." Raven nods silently.

Vultro and Cync turn around, heading towards dry land. He climbs off and surveys the area. Even on land, there's nothing but trees and muddy pathways in every direction. He sighs and pauses to think. Suddenly, the group is disoriented by a blinding flash. "Wh-What was that?" Vultro asks. "Haven't the foggiest..." Tracker mubles nervously. Vultro looks at the group and notices Raven is missing. "Raven? Raven!" he yells. "Where did Raven go?"

"She was right here next to us!" Cyncatia yells. "How did she disappear?" Vultro shakes his head. "I don't know." Suddenly, a distant scream echoes through the forest. "Raven?" Vultro yells. In a panic, he turns to Frankie. "Frankie, you've got better hearing, could you tell where that scream came from?" Frankie slowly nods. "That way," she points.

The group heads in the direction of the scream. They approach a cliff face, with a large cave opening in front of them. "I hate to say it, but the echoes of the scream would suggest it came from in there," Frankie says. Vultro shakes his head in disbelief. "Alright. Tracker, you stay out here and stand guard." He nods silently. "We'll be right back." The rest of the group enters the cave.

The entrance is faintly illuminated by the light outside, but it's hard to see very far. "Man, this is creepy," Wreck says. Frankie steps further into the darkness, before stopping dead in her tracks. "Guys, something's not right here," she whispers into the darkness. "What do you mean?" Wreck asks. "I am hearing some really weird sounds, and footsteps that aren't ours." She goes silent. "Frankie, come back, I can't see you." No response. "Frankie?" he asks. A second blinding flash fills the cave as the group cover their eyes. "What the...?" Wreck says as he opens his eyes again. "Hello? Frankie?" He steps forward towards where she was standing, but there is nothing there.

Wreck is gritting his teeth now. "First Raven, now Frankie. What the hell is going on here." Vultro gulps. "There's a branch in the cave over there," Jenny says. "Maybe we should split up." They collect their thoughts for a moment. "Jenny, come with me," Vultro says. "Cync, you go with Wreck."

Chapter 3

"Frances Roslin the Bat." That's what it said on her report card, but she would only ever respond to that name. Everyone she knew called her Frankie. The daughter of the rich Cyrus and Elena Roslin, she lived a pretty sheltered and quiet childhood. She would never be allowed to stay out late, or to stay over at her friend's place. Most of her days would be spent studying at the library, just to have an escape from home.

... MORE BACKGROUND STUFF ...

As Raven regains her consciousness, she begins to hear a muffled voice come from behind her. She's tied up, and the room is almost entirely dark. She shakes her head and listens again to what the voice is saying.

"How nice of you to hand-deliver these emeralds to me," the female voice says. As she tries to free herself, she hears someone rummaging through her bag. She struggles to focus on the shadowy figure and can tell that it was now looking directly at her.

"Where are the other two?" the voice says sternly. She can see it bend over and sweep the floor nearby, as she slowly starts to realize who the figure is. Raven smirks to herself. "That's none of your business."

The figure scoffs. "Hah! With the crystal in our possession, these are just a bonus anyway." It reaches out its hand and the five emeralds begin to float around it, glowing in different colors.

This all but confirmed Raven's suspicions. "Metal Raven," she says. The light of the emeralds reveals a shiny metallic face staring back at her, a face that looked eerily similar to her own. The twisted grin on its face was something she thought a robot wasn't capable of.

"What are you doing here? What is this place?" Raven asks. Metal Raven ignores her questions, placing the emeralds back in the bag. "The Sol Emeralds could be of some use yet, even just these five. We can use their energy to amplify the Shoten crystal."

"Shoten... crystal?" A loud rumbling occurs that shakes the entire cave. A cold, emotionless voice comes from the darkness nearby. "Metal Raven, I've secured another prisoner. But my sensors show volcanic activity is starting. We may want to leave soon." Frankie appears out of the darkness, being thrown to the ground by the unknown figure.

"Frankie," Raven says quietly. "I'm glad to see you." Frankie, barely awake, struggles to respond. "Mist... Raven, it's Mist..."

"Aw, poor little Frances wants to stop me!" Mist says mockingly. "What are you going to do about it?" Raven frowns and looks around the room. It's dimly lit, but she can just about make out the familiar ears of Vultro in the opposite corner. She stares through the darkness at him.

"Whoa! A metal clone of Raven?" he bursts out. "I thought she was making that up." Raven sighed. Here we go again, she thought. Metal Raven's head snapped towards Vultro. He looks over at the bag in her hands and notices an unfamiliar object poking out of it. It appears to be a lime-green crystal, with a webbing of blue cracks running through it. "Say, what's that thing?" he asks. "I've never seen a gem like that before." He's really hamming it up this time.

Mist chuckles to himself, stepping forward into the dim light. He reveals himself to be a strange, featureless creature with pale grey skin. Even without visible eyes on his face, Vultro could feel his glare. "Do you really think we'd tell you anything about that crystal?" He pauses and attempts what Vultro assumes is a smirk. "You should have heard your friend outside."

The creature morphs into an exact copy of Tracker, down to his droopy yellow ears. "Gimme our bloody friends back before I get rate maaaaad!" he says as he poorly mimics Tracker's accent. Mist laughs to himself. Vultro's eye begins to twitch in anger.

Metal Raven stifles a laugh. Mist looks up at Metal Raven, and pauses. "Metal Raven! Behind you!" Jenny flips over Metal Raven's shoulder, and swiftly snatches the mysterious crystal from Raven's bag. "How dare you make fun of my friend like that!" Jenny says. Metal Raven growls and dives towards Jenny. "Vultro, catch!" She quickly tosses the crystal towards Vultro.

Vultro jumps and catches the gem out of the air in his left hand. As he looks down at it in his hands, still angry, it begins to glow green. He begins to feel a surge of energy enter his body. "What's happening?" he asks as he feels more and more energy flow through him. Suddenly, a brilliant light fills the cave, sending a shockwave through the room. As the light fades, Vultro is now floating in the air, his fur a shining purple color.

He looks down in awe at his transformation and then looks back at the crystal with a big smile on his face. "Whoa!" he yells. "Guys! Guys! I'm just like Super Sonic! Ha ha, look at me! I look awesome!" He turns around, only to be met by a sucker punch straight to the gut. "Not quite," a menacing voice says as he falls to the floor.

Vultro drops the crystal, and his fur fades back to normal color. The mysterious figure picks up the crystal and inspects it, and Vultro just barely manages to look up at him. The figure appears to have both the angular face of a wolf, and the distinct large ears of a fox. He stood as tall as Raven, with a mixture of brown and gray fur.

As Vultro looks at him longer, he also notices that he is translucent, and his feet hovered slightly off the ground. "Gah, I almost went mad without this on me. Makes me wonder how I went so long without it." He turned to Metal Raven and gave her a nod. She walks over and hands the yellow Sol emerald to him, and he inserts it into a device on his belt.

Jenny, off to the side of the room, suddenly gets a tap on her shoulder. She spins around to see Wreck standing next to her. He signals her to stay quiet, and points towards Mist in some sort of rehearsed code. She nods and smirks as he tiptoes towards Mist. He glances at Jenny and gives her a signal. He suddenly dashes towards Mist, and Jenny dives towards him as well. Mist turns to block Jenny, and Wreck gets behind him to sweep his legs out from under him.

Wreck then turns to the wolf. "You want some too?" He throws a punch at the wolf, only for his hand to go right through him as he tumbles to the floor. "Useless," the wolf scoffed as he grabs Vultro by the neck. He taps the device on his belt and the two instantly vanish in a flash of yellow light. Metal Raven turns and grabs Raven, and they too disappear in a flash of light.

"Raven!" Jenny yelled. "They have Raven, Vultro, and now the emeralds," Wreck says. He clenches his fists and turns to Mist, but by now he had already escaped. He turns his attention to Frankie, who is still collapsed on the floor. "Wreck? Wreck!" Cyncatia's voice echoes. She stumbles into the room, out of breath. "What happened?"

"Raven and Vultro were taken, maybe Tracker too," Jenny said. "I don't know." "We have to get out of this cave," Wreck says as he begins to untie Frankie. "It's okay Frankie, you're safe now."
