PROLOUGE
Before, the many universes were at peace. The peace had lasted for
many ages. Everything seemed so perfect, no one thought that could
ever change, but then, the Vile came. TheVile are horrid monsters
made of nightmares. No one is completly sure of where the Vile came
from, but it is rumored that they came from the time before the
peace. That the monsters had traveled through time for some unknown
reason. The time they may have come from was a uneasy time when every
faction of every world of every universe was at war with at least
one other faction. The Vile may have originated from the evil and
prejudice that had become so strong as to manifest physically.
Now the Crystal Fighters must defend their homes and the univereses
of their friends before all becomes evil again. The Vile spred
dissention when in disguise and spred fear and death when in their
true forms. The Crystal Fighters are the only hope of the
universes. The peace of all the universes came around at about the
the same time, people had started to realize how stupid and harmful
war was not just to others, but to themselves as well. So when peace
finnaly arrived, each faction created a Crystal out of the good they
shared. Now one from each of the old factions must find the Crystal
of their faction and
join with the other Crystal possesers to combat the Vile. The
Crystal Fighters use their Crystals as a focus for their own
energy and an enhancement of it. The Crystals alsogive them extra
powers. So far the few Crystal Fighters thathave surfaced do not yet
know their own strength. They are learning as they go along, but
they must learn and move quickly before the Vile take over the
universes.
CHAPTER
1
An elven 16 year-old was walking through a small forested area near
her home. She was wearing a white silk toga-dress with shinning
golden clasps at each shoulder and a soft lace-rope belt at her waist
and her feet were bare. She walked slowly over the greenish bed of
moss that covered the ground. She knew she really should be at home
helping her mother, but today it seemed as if the woods were calling
her name, "Zelda! Zelda!" She couldn't resist going out to wander
under the shadey canopy. She was lost in pleasent thought, when
suddenly something startled her out of her reverie. Zelda looked
around to see what it was, she heard nothing but the wind willowing
through the tree branches and the animals that inhabited the woods.
She looked around again, but saw no sign of anything unusual, but
there was something, there, she sensed it. Zelda moved toward where
what she was sensing might be. She soon entered a small clearing,
then a shaft of white light appeared from out of no where into the
half-dark forest. For some reason she wasn't at all surprised to she
the beam of light shinning in the middle of the clearing, Zelda
almost seemed to expect it though she had no idea why. Normally if
such a strange thing had happened she would have run home and told
her grandmother, who knew much of such things, but now she only
walked towards it. There was something on a flat smooth stone,
rounded at the edges, it glinted and sparkled in the light. Zelda
kneeled down in the moss and reached in wonder for the strange
object. It was a beautiful rainbow crystal with blue and purple as
the promininte colors. She picked up the crystal and felt as if some
part of her had just been awakened. The moment her hand touched the
Crystal she knew her destiney, she was a to be a Crystal Fighter, in
her hand she held the Crystal of the Titicacan elves of her home
planet. The Crystal was from a time right after the wars. All the
univereses seemed to suddenly realize how stupid war was and how much
they could gain from peace. When they decided on the peace, each
faction of each city of each world of each universe created a
Crystal, powerful objects of good and light. No one was completly
sure of what they could do except the mages who created them. The
mages knew about the Vile, hideous creatures that formed from the
hate and prejudice that had had full reign before the peace. No one
but the mages believed in these creatures, the reason why is that
they disapeared. The mages suspected that they went forward in time.
The Crystals were lost soon after the peace, or so most believe, but
truly the mages hid the Crystals, each mage in his or her own way, so
that the Crystals would find the right person among each faction to
reveal itself to. Now it is sometime in the future from when the
Crystals were made and Zelda has found one of the Crystals, more are
being found in different ways and in different places. There was a
sharp sound behind her, someone or something hadn't treaded carefully
and a stick had cracked. The sound seemed to blast in her ears in the
subdued sounds of the forest. Zelda turned around, crystal in hand. A
huge monster loomed in front of her, suddenly everything became
clear, she knew this was no ordinary crystal is was the Crystal of
the faction of elves that she would have belonged to had she been in
the past, and in front of her was one of the Vile. Zelda knew what
she had to do, she raised the crystal in the air and said in a quiet,
but strong voice, "Mystical Rydia Lunaris POWER!" Blue and purple
rings of color swirled around her mixed with bright sparks of white
light, when the color faded Zelda no longer stood in the forest. She
was now black-haired, purple-eyed and elven, Rydia, a Crystal
Fighter. Just looking at the monster she could tell it was one of the
weaker ones, she would be able to finish it off with out the help of
other Crystal Fighters. The Vile attacked her with a sizzling
fireball, but she called, "Rydia water vortex SPLASH!" A ring of
water gurgled and bubbled around her, she lifted her arms in an arc
then she pointed at the fireball that was speeding towards her. The
water encompassed the fireball. The fireball fizzed then flickered
out. Before the monster could attack again Rydia called out, "Rydia
freeze!" She didn't really need to say any words, the spell she used
didn't need any, but she found it easier to direct her wordless
spells if she made up some words to direct the magic. She put her
hands in front of her palm-outward as if she was going to push the
monster away, then what looked like fog started to come from her
hands. It floated over to the monster then suddenly it turned into
solid ice freezing the monster along with it. The monster toppled
over and shattered. Rydia nodded to herself then put the crystal in a
pouch she had at her hip that she had meant to fill with herbs along
the way. A hazy blanket of green and blue mist flowed around her and
she was transformed back into Zelda. Then she went home to tell her
family that she had to go out and find other Crystal Fighters......
Zelda had heard of a place in another dimension called
Crystalia, Crystalia is peaceful and large. Some consider is just a
country, others another planet, but what it realy is, a another
dimension. The main center is located in Ireland. Crystalia has
thousands of villages. Each has their own race of Crystal beings.
Every type of race can be found here, from elves to centaurs. Zelda
thought that might be a good place to start looking for other
Crystal Fighters. To get to Crystalia she
asked her father to create a Gateway there. She was still trying to
learn the Gateway spell, so far when she tried thespell, it made her
very tired and there was no knowing where she might end up. Her
father created a round blue vortex in the center of their dining
room. Tiny points of light danced
around in a clockwise direction with the swirls of blue. Zelda
stepped through the Gateway, after making sure she hadthe Crystal and
her light green travel bag. A blue vortex opened up in Crystalia and
Zelda appeared through it.
Zelda turned and saw a high class looking elf walking towards
her. She smiled
and got a strange feeling that she should know the person, she
thought to herself, Maybe she is a Crystal Fighter to. ''Hello, and
welcome to Crystalia. I am Queen Emerald Lightdale and all you see
is ruled by the Crystalian Court and I, who might you be?'' she
stood 5'6 with long curly
red hair and emerald eyes. She wore a two peace green dress and
leather green boots. Around her belt was a brown leather pouch and an
emerald dagger in a sheath. Zelda curtsied to Queen Emerald
Lightdale, "I am honored to be here your majesty. I am Zelda of
Magiska, Kanakazi." Then
she looked around and said in a conspiratol tone, "I am also the
holder of the Crystal of the Titicacan elves. I am looking for other
Crystal holders, might you know where some are?" "No not that I know
of" answered Eme (Queen Emeralds nickname). "Why do you ask". "Well
you see, I'm looking for other Crystal Holders. I know that most of
my powers can only weaken a Vile, and I need help from other
Crystal Holders so we can band together and fight the Vile."
Zelda said hoping she'd be able to find another Crystal Fighter
soon, it was almost lonely being the only Crystal Holder she knew,
there wasn't anyone to talk to about it, and everyone gets an urge to
talk shop once in a while. "Sorry I cant help you but you can look
around Crystilia, but you should wait till tommorrow. Follow me'' and
she leads her to the castle. You can stay here for awhile." Zelda
followed the queen . Zelda looked around in awe as they walk through
the halls, but then she hears a strange sound coming from up
ahead. Then a large Vile appears in front of them. Zelda gasps,
+How did it penetrate Crystalias' defenses?!+ she thinks to herself.
Zelda isn't sure whether she can beat a Vile on her own, before it
was very weak and small, this one was larger, though she knew full
size Vile were much ~much~ bigger and more powerful. Zelda reached
for her Crystal, but as she put her hand in the small bag at her hip
the Vile somehow shakes the floor, the Crystal fell out of her hands
and skidded across the floor between her and the Vile. +What am I
going to do?!?!+ she thought.
The queen quickly dogged for the crystal, caught it and leaped up and
over Zelda, landing behind her. She hands her the crystal ''Here ya
go'' Zelda caught the Crystal and smiled, "Thanks."
Zelda held her Crystal in the air and shouted defiantly,
"Mystical Rydia Lunaris POWER!!" As soon as the swirls of purple
and blue color disapeared and she stood tall as Rydia she called,
"Rydia Water Vortex SPLASH!" A spout of water seemed to form from her
hands and burst forth soaking the Vile. Then she concentrated to
form a spell. Rydia chanted a few words to cast her Freeze spell. A
gust of foggy air whirled around the Vile and froze the water
incasing it in solid ice, but she knew that the ice wouldn't hold
the Vile forever, she hoped more Crystal Fighters showed up soon, her
powers were mostly meant for weakening Vile even her magic would be
hard pressed to defeat a Vile other than a extremely weak one. She
transformed back to her normal self in a matter of seconds, then she
turned to Queen Emerald, "Are you all right?" ''Perfectly fine. I
may be a queen, but im not at all fragile'' she smiled
.
CHAPTER 2
His name is Nity Brighton. When he was a young dwarf he had the habit
of getting himself into trouble. Mostly he would be stealing and
stuff like that and he was always being brought home by the town
guards. His family was very embarressed with having a son like him
and one day became fed up with it and threw him out of the house.
Very angryly he ran off into the forest and there he found an
abandoned cottage, and he took shelter there. He soon found
peacefulness in the forest, he really liked it there, and he became a
hermit living in that old cottage. He never wanted to see his family
again so that's where he stayed for about 30 years reaching the age
of 42.
The Night Prior Zeldas Arrivial in Crystilia....
Nity sleeps in his cottage where is about to get an unexpected visit.
Nity suddenly wakes up. Something has wakened him but he dose not
know what it is. His bright green eyes search the room and they fall
upon the shadow. Its a dark black shadow it looks like a humans
shadow but there is no one else in the room. The shadow walks towards
Nity then speaks "Nity Brighton of the Loraton Dimension dwarfs, you
have been chosen as a Crystal Fighter". "What no leave me alone"
pleads Nity "what are you".The shadow raises his hand and from his
palm comes a beam of light and it goes right to Nity's forehead, he
cant move he can just watch. A crystal appears in the beam of light,
it then travels down the beam of light then it goes right into Nity's
forehead it looks painful but isnt.
The beam of light dissapears and the shadow speaks again "You now
have the power of the Razis Crystal use it wisely" then the shadow
dissapears and Nity is left to wonder.
When Nity wakes the next morning everything is clear, now he knows
what he has become he is a Crystal Fighter and he must help save the
universe from the Vile and he dosent like it at all. But something
becons him, he must go to Crystalia. The shadow man appears once
again in front of him "Good you are ready" says the shadow then he
opens aportal in front of Nity. Nity walks through and appears in
Crystalia in front of the castle where a Vile is trying to break down
the door. The words come to Nity's mind and he speaks them,
"Celestial Razis Crystal Power!!!" He could feel the power surgeing
through his head where he held the crystal, then the transformation
took place, he grew about two inches, his eyes became bright red, and
his hair turned dark black. He was now Razis. He stuck his arm out
towards the Vile and shouted the words "Razis Tornado Strike". The
tornado appeared around the Vile then it pulled him into the sky up
and up then the tornado was gone and the Vile fell and struck the
ground and splattered yellowish slime across Razis' face he wiped it
off with his hand. Razis ran through the castle doors senseing
trouble ahead he turned corners running down halls some how he knew
where he was going. Some guards had seen him and called out for him
to stop but he kept running till he saw the trouble up ahead two
elves ahead came running towards him "You must get out of here" a
young red headed elf said as she ran with an important looking elf.
Must be the queen thought Razis. "Don't worry" he said. The vile
ahead started to crack the ice as it tried moving back in forth
franticly then the ice shattered. Razis knew he must do something.
"Razis Crystal Flame" he yelled and a crystal flew from his hand it
was slightly smaller then the crystals thats transformed people into
crystal fighters and it was silver colored. The crystal flew through
the air then broke off into four pieces one piece landing on each
side of the Vile then they ignited into giant flames and they
engulfed the Vile as it screamed in agony its flesh burned away till
it was nothing it was as if had never existed then the flames turned
back into crystal pieces. The pieces then connected forming a whole
crystal then it flew back to Razis.
Rydia looked away from the destroyed Vile in surprise,
"Another Crystal Fighter! Wow!" Then she introduced herself and
transfored back to Zelda. "My name is Razis I inhabit the body of
Nity Brighton" he replies. Zelda turns to Queen Emerald, "Is there
any place where I
could sit down, two Vile in one day is hard work, even though I
didn't even destroy the second." Then she waves to Razis,
"C'mon."
CHAPTER 3
When criminals took over an abandoned military installation near New
York, they sent a bomb crashing on his childhood home, killing his
parents. After bouncing from orphanage to
orphanage separated from his believed dead brother, he now fights
crime originally as a Super Avenger, then a part of Team Rebel with
his brother. Recently, he had a living costume that gave him
powersplus weather manipulation. After losing it when Death tried
to take over the world through New York, he still had his powers, but
was thrown into a portal that sent him into dimension
X.
Since that fateful day in Times Square, he now bounces from dimension
to dimension, looking for his home, and helpingthose he meets in the
many worlds he visits, using his advanced martial arts and science
skills.
While the two Crystal FightersZelda and Nity who has changed back
from Razis and Eme talked at a picnic bench behind the castle, a
portal opens in the sky above them. It's a black circle with red
swirls moving around. Then, they see a man falling out of it. He
lands on a nearby hill, then rolls down it, getting tangled in his
magneta cape. He stops and shakily attempts to get up. "Woah--
*NNG*, better 'n' the *UNG* Cyclone--"UA stands up and looks over to
see Zelda , Nity, and Eme. "HEY! YO! 'SCUSE ME! CAN SOMEONE TELL
ME WHERE I AM--" He starts to run, but gets hit in the face with a
gem on a chain. "And what this is?" Little does he know, it's one
of the
crystals they need. Zelda looks up, "You're a Crystal Holder too?
Wow, I didn't expect to find this many yet. You're in Crystalia
right now." "Woah, woah, woah, WOAH! Stop the crystal wagon! What
do you mean 'crystal holder'? And 'find this many'? Who are you?
And what's this Crystalia?" He looks around. He realizes he's not
in his New York, or ANY New York.
"You mean you don't know? Nity, do you not know about all this
either? Hmm, I think we're all going to have to exchange what we
know, maybe there will be things we can learn from each other. Well,
as an overview...you're in Crystalia, its really a nice place, your
majesty, maybe you
can tell more about this place, it is your kingdom after all.. That
Crystal you have, it's one from the time of peace, every faction
made one when the wars were over, I'm looking for more Crystal
Holders so we can team up and battle against the Vile, the Crystals
will help us do that. I'm not completly sure how you got here,
apparently Crystal Holders are being drawn here to Crystlia to meet."
Zelda said, wondering if they knew any more than she did. Then she
searched through the small backpack she was carrying and pulled out
a Mandrake Root. While she listened to Eme and UA talk, she ground
the root into a fine red powder and then sifted the powder into a
glass vial already half-filled with water. Zelda shook the vial a few
times then puts it back in her backpack as a white potion. "Oh,
yeah. Sorry for not introducing myself, I am Zelda of Majiska,
Kanakazi and I hold the Crytal of the Titicacan elves. With Crystal,
I am Rydia. Now, who are you, and where are you from that Crystalia
could be so strange to you?" Nity also sticks out his hand "I am
Nity, with crystal I am Razis". "My name's Ultra Avenger." He says,
looking at the gem. "I'm from New York...(say, you wouldn't know
if a bus goes there?--I guess not). I was in the middle of a war in
my home, when Death, the man I was helping to fight against, did
something to one of my teleportals, which I use to go from place to
place, which now sends me through dimensions. I'm just looking for a
way home. I already met some old friends and some new ones. After I
left my clone in the
dimension of this girl who kinda likes me, I got zapped here. But
somehow, this thing that girl had that makes her a hero sent this
with me." He looks at it agian. "I'd love to analyze it--anybody
got a--" before he can finish, he clutches his left eye and falls to
his knees, yelling in pain. "YEARGH!" "You all right?" Zelda asks.
He stands back up. "Fine. J-just fine. Look, do you know where I
can find a lab, and do you need any help in this war? 'Cause if
you do, sign me up on your side."
"A lab?"asks Zelda " Your majesty, do you have anything like that
here? Hmm, you've got to be a Crystal Holder, the Crystals have
almost a consiosness, they would never let someone who
wasn't meant to hold one have one, good thing you don't seem to mind
being in our 'war'." then Zelda started to search through her
backpack, "Are you sure you're all right? I can whip up a potions if
I have some Ginseng...I don't think I have any preprepared ones at
the moment, but it wouldn't
take much to make one." Zelda finds the light brown magical item,
then explains what the Vile are and a little about the Crystal
Fighters. ''Well, in a nutshell, if you need anything, its here
in
Crystalia.'' she smiles' i am Queen Emereald'' He bows. "Your
highness. I request a place to work. A scientists lab, a
magicians lab, anywhere where I have access to chemicals" says UA.
"Of course!" replies Eme "and please dont call me that. I'm just Eme
to all my friends. My father insists that I let Crystalians pay
respect like that but I dont rule you, so dont bother with it k?''
she smiled "Wow. Nice people in power. I ain't in Kansas anymore."
jokes UA. He notices something strange in the crystal. "So, where
can I find anything like that? Think you can point me in the
general direction?"
Zelda looks at him curiously, "Kansas?" Nity had sat there
impatiently listening to the one who
called himself avenger something What a dumb name Nity thought to
himself. Nity raised to his feet and walked over to the red headed
young elf. What was her name Zelnut he couldnt remember he had a hard
time with names. The elf was watching the queen and the guy talk to
each other. Nity tugged on the back of the elf's shirt and she
spun around to look at him. In an angry voice Nity spoke. "Well you
seem to know whats going on here so you should know that I dont
belong here I dont know how I got here but I want to be back home
and I want you to tell me how to get the hell out of this mud
hole". Zelda looked back at Nity "The Vile aren't going to disapear
and we all need to work together to get rid of them for good. I
know for sure ~I~ can't do this all myself." she hoped they would all
be able to work well together, but she wasn't sure if this dwarf
wanted to. "Im going I want nothing to do with this Crystal
business" says Nity then he turns and begins to walk away. Then he
feels the ground beneath him rumble so dose Zelda they both turn to
see the Vile that has snuck up on them during there debate. Nity
turns once again and walks away to leave Zelda to fend for herself
but he cant something stops him something from within himself he
cant hold it back and though he gave his best efforts to hold them
in the words escape his mouth Celestial Razis Crystal POWER! His
green eyes now covered with red his hair once brown now black he
turns to the Vile and speaks the words of the Crystal. "Razis Tornado
Strike!" A Tornado is quickly to the Vile and it slams into the Vile
knocking him off his feet and onto the ground. "Rydia attack him now"
yells Razis. While Razis attacked the Vile, Zelda transformed and
as Rydia she called, "Rydia star water BLAST!" a three-dimensiona
star-shaped collection of water materialized before her in a flash
of star-light. The star of water seemed to go nova and splashed the
monster with boiling water. The Vile recoiled, but was not yet
defeated. "WOAH!" UA says, backing up. "Did I step into the POWER
RANGERS zone or what??" He runs, jumps, and kicks the Vile into the
castle, making an impact that may shatter
mountains. But it still came. "Oh for crissakes!" Using the last
of his teleportation strength fot the next hour, he calls a
teleportal and slips it under it. "Something something with
something about crystal something..." he says shrugging. It falls
in, and the portal closes. After U.A. got rid of the Vile Razis
walks up to him, he hasnt returned back to Nity because he knows
Nity's attitude will be brought back as well. "Hey thats a pretty
cool trick that portal thing." Razis arcs his neck to look at U.A.
because of his shortness which is a natural feature with his species.
Razis then holds his hand up to Ultra Avenger so he can shake his
hand. He shakes Razis' hand. Rydia watches the portal in amazement,
"Wow! How'd you do that?" "Well, I had a living costume as I
explained. I recieved it
from a Japanese monestary bent on evil. I eventually learned that
it was from another dimension and gave me the abilities to teleport,
create teleportals, enhanced strength, enhanced speed, and allowed
me to use an ancient spirit and steal the morphing ability of an
enemy, illegaly
duplicating the suits powers. (Don't ask.) And as for magic, I
can't do any of that. Where I come from, Magic is as dead as the
MACARENA." He looks at Zelda. "You seem to be the expert here. Two
things, one, tell me more about these Viles, and two--" He tosses
her his crystal. He motions for her to throw it back. She does,
and he holds it up to show it's eerie glow. "--why is this thing
reacting to me?" Rydia shrugs, "Probably because you're meant to be a
Crystal Holder." Meant to be a crystal holder? he thinks. "Are you
kidding me?" "Sorry, lady. I never put too much faith in fate
since I let fate do the thinking for me once. That's how I got
into this mess." He then realizes he's spent a tad too much time
with Wolverine. Ah, well..."Okay, so we've all established we can't
get out of this. So? What now--?" Meanwhile, no one's aware of a
presence in some nearby
bushes, awaiting the proper moment for attcak. Razis turns to Rydia
"Im sorry about the way Nity acted towards you he has a personality
problem and Im just glad when he transforms into me there is a
whole new personality but my crystal can only keep me like this for
about half an hour then it takes about 5 minutes to build strenght
back up so Nity can transform
again".
CHAPTER 4
After escaping the dimension of little green killing machines known
as Dimension X, UA found himself in New York. But it was ruled by
Persela, the true Death herself, with his alternate self and first
team that he created, the Super Avengers, working for her. He
eventually helped the few good heroes (including his brother) stop
her evil reign. He was her lover when good UA condemned her to
another world. When he teleported out to another dimension, he
didn't know that UA(evil, UA's clone) followed him. He's fought him
in the past few dimensions.
Rydia contiues her conversation with UA, "Well, I believe it
because it's what I've been taught for as long as I can remember.
You can test it if you want, but I'm pretty sure that the Crystals
select who they will help, for lack of a more precis way of
explaining it, the Crystals almost have a consiosness, they select
who they "think" is right for being a Crystal Holder.
Probably because of some kind of spell that was placed on them when
they were first created."
''So, do Viles follow crystal holders? because ever since you guys
showed up here, viles have attacked. Ive never seen them before'' Eme
asks Rydia.Rydia thinks for a moment, "I'm not too sure. The reason
youprobably haven't seen them is most likely because they only just
arrived in this time, but I'm not too sure. Where I come from the
Vile are like boogiemen, meant only to scare
little children into brushing their teeth, or practicing their magic.
But there're very detailed legends about them and things they did
during the wars. They can't stand peace, I think, so they decided to
go to another time where we would all be more vunerable to war I
guess. "
"Kind of a shadowy bunch, ain't they?" UA chips a piece of his
crystal off. He morphs his hand into a microscope, and analyzes it.
"Interesting. This appears to have the atomic structure of
Titanic Cobalt, a rare space metal in my world...dense
infrastructure,pulsating positively charged electrons...and a
partridge in a pear tree, as far as I can tell." He stands and puts
it around his neck. His hand morphs back. "I think we should find
someplace more private to converse,
maybe find a way to take these vile out at the source. Any takers?"
"Interesting, I'm not too well versed in atomic structure and stuff
like that, but I'm not too surprised at what you found" Zelda speaks
to UA "I know there's some sort of hidden power in them much greater
than what's been unlocked so far, but I don't know how to reach it..
I think there's a cave around here than
would be private enough for our purposes, I doubt the Vile will be
able to access it. I think it's here anyway, I guessI should have
payed more attention when the Elders were
teching me Universal geography, never thought I'd need it. So Eme,
is this Cathedreal Cavern place around here?"
In the bush, UA observes the gang of MISFITS in his eyes.
"Hmmm, I could use those crystals if I heard right." He moves deeper
into the woods, but is attacked by a Vile. "WAIT!!! STOP! I
wanna be your ally! I got information that may help you DESTROY
thoes CRYSTAL FIGHTERS" The Vile stops. It looks at him strangely,
then grabs his arm, and
they disappear.
Eme took them to the cave and they found a place to sit and talk.
Rydia settled down on the pillow and began to explain what she knew
about the Crystals and being a Crystal Fighter. She told them of
the reason why she knew so much, the elves she had been around were
traditionalists, they
wanted everything to be remembered and every tradition unforgotton.
That was also the reason she knew that the Crystal she had found
was one from the Titicacan elves. Throughout the Univereses there
was constant war, not just planet to planet war, cival wars in every
city of every planet of every Universe were ravaging the land, no
one could remember what started it and no one knew how to stop
it. As Rydia spoke she ran her fingers along the smooth surfaces
of her purple and blue Crystal, "This is the time from which the
Vile came from, we think. The Vile are evil
monsters that came from all the hate and fear that ran ramant in
those times, but they thrive on the fear and hate, when the wars
stopped they started to die out, then they decided to go into the
future, which is our present, and wreck havok, we havent delt with
wars for ages and are ill equipted to deal with them, the Vile know
that." Just then the ceiling rumbled and shook, stalagtites fell from
the ceiling some shattering when they hit the rock, others coming
down like knifes
burying themselves partially in the floor. Rydia gasped and jerked
backwards as one fell right in front of her, I think it might be a
good idea to continue this ~after~ we check that out. It could be
a Vile. she said, relieved to be able to get a chance to get out of
the cave, despite her earlier resolve. UA extends his body
upwards, and covers the cieling, holding it up. "I'm pretty
weakened from dimension hopping, and I'm only good for making sure
this thing wont fall on any one before
you all can evacuate and see what's up. Move it!" He watches
as they run out to deal with the problem, as he struggles to keep
the cave up. Rydia runs to the mouth of the cave sensing something
evil and wondering if it was a Vile, "What could be causing this?"
"Rydia shinning star FLASH!" she called, there was an explosion of
light in front of the Vile which had surfaced,
the Vile was blinded for a moment which gave her time to plan her
next attack, "Rydia--" but then she was interupted, the Vile wasn't
quite so stunned as she had thought, it attacked her with a bolt
of lightening. Rydia dodged, but the lightening was enough to make
her stumble and fall onto
the rock. The Vile advanced to attack again and quickly she chanted a
few words then levitated out of the way. She levitated as high as she
dared and called, "Uh, guys, I need some help here!" Razis shoots a
fireball a the Vile but it dosent even seem to notice the attack. UA,
who lets the cave fall and decides to GET ON WITH HIS LIFE, he
snags the Vile and tries to hold it, as it drags
him all over the place. "CRAP! I--CAN'T--GET--ANY--LEVERAGE!" It
grabs his arms and flings him into a tree. He flips, rebounds of
the tree, using his strength and momentum, and whacks the Vile at a
great speed. He lands, then does a leg sweep, knocking it down. He
bounces up, flips, and does a leg drop on its chest. He flips
up, grabs it shoulders OOC:I'm assuming all the way here--IC:and
spins it. He lets go and it flies into a rock. "Okay, one of you
POWER RANGERS CRYSTAL FIGHTERS can take it from here!" Rydia
levitates back down to the floor, "Power Rangers?" she shrugs and
trys to think of a destructive power, "Rydia ice
crystal SHATTER!" the Vile splits into million pieces, "Eww..."
"Okay, well now that that's over I guess we can continue." says
Rydia. then she points to a place in the cave, "We can go over
there, it's not all collapsed or anything, hopefully it's more
stable... Well, back to the time of war, I'm not completly sure why
but the wars stopped, maybe everyone finnaly realized how stupid
and pointless it was to fight for no reason against people who
could be helpful allies. Incase the wars broke out again each faction
created a Crystal, not just an ordiary mineral, but a magical
object of great power. The Crystals were lost, and now, for some
reason, they have been resurfacing. Crystals are being found all
over the Universes, each in a different way. Then she proceded to
tell them how she found her Crystal . "When I found my Crystal I
knew what Crystal Powers I had and basically what they would do, but
I also have the feeling that I might
recieve more Crystal Powers in time with experience. That's about all
I know, do you guys know anything more? What about how you found
your Crystals?" Razis tells them of how the Shadow man gave Nity
his crystal. UA stands with his arms folded, looking at the
falling
shards. "Very nice." He dusts some off his cape and his mask. He
looks at his crystal. WONDER IF I GOT THESE KINDA POWERS, he
thinks. YEAH RIGHT. IT'S MORPHIN' TIME...he chuckles
out loud. "So, do I got these powers too? Or am I the only non-
transformer of the group?" Rydia replies "Thank you. Oh, you probably
do. They pretty much come with the Crystal from what I've heard the
Crystals are endowed with a kind of spell casting ability and
either they give the
Holder the power, or they work through the Holder, maybe even
both. The one who created my Crystal also added a spell that informed
me of what powers I had and how to use them, it may be different
with others. You may have to expirament." Just as she finishs
speaking, Rydia hears something behind her, "~Another~ Vile?! Oy!"
she turns to attack it, but
the Vile attacks her first knocking her unconsious. Razis and Eme
rush to Zelda's side while UA goes after the Vile."BACK OFF!" UA's
crystal glows, he aims his hands, and sends the Vile through a mega-
portal. It closes with a flash, leaving a smoking area where it
was.
"Woah, momma. Did I do that?"UA picks Zelda up and carriers her to a
flat, grassy spot.
He sets her down. He then turns to Razis and Eme. "Our informant's
down, so where do we go from here?""Lets take her to a guest
bedrooom at the castle. So she can rest'' says Eme
CHAPTER 5
After bringing Zelda to the castle, Eme, UA and Razis gather in the
throne room.
"Okay, we got two options. One, we can send someone into the field
of danger to do a little snooping, or two, we can wait till Zelda's
awake before we even attempt a move against the Vile." says UA.
Zelda slowly regained consious and sat up then looked around,
"oww...What happened? Where am I? How did I get ~here~?" then she
looked around more carefully as her vision cleared and, seeing that
no one was in the room since they were all in the throne room, she
added, "Oy, why am I
talking to myself?" Zelda hoped off the bed and went looking for
everyone else.
Zelda wandered around the halls hoping that she'll meet up with
someone soon, she guessed that she was back in Eme's castle since
it closely resembled it, though she hadn't seen
any familier objects, people, or places yet. Soon she found the
throne room, "So ~there~ you guys are! Can someone tell me what
happened? I'm not going crazy am I, cause I could have sworn we
were in a cave and this doesn't look much like a cave to me.." "You
were knocked out. We brought you here." plain and simple. Zelda
nods, "So, did you guys destroy that Vile?" "I zapped him drom
existence" says UA. "Really?" replies Zelda. "Yeah, well, that Power
Rangers complex finally hit me." says UA. Zelda turns to each of
them, "What do'u think we should do
now? I know there'll be more Vile around, they may not all
collect here in Crystalia, but I really don't know..." "You're our
leader." UA says to Zelda. Zelda shook her head, "Not really, though
that's a good idea. We should have a leader so we're not all
totally
disorganized all the time, but not me. I told you guys all I can
remember, if I remember more I'll say that too, but I'm not cut out
for leading anyone." "Okay, so if not you, who's gonna lead us?"
asks UA. He neglects to tell them he once led his own hero team, but
after joining his brother and letting him be leader, he's enjoyed
not having to be responsible for the well being of others.
Although he misses the command, he enjoys the break. "I certainly
can't. I don't have the...skills."
"Hmm...what about you Eme, or Razis? ...if no one is interested
then I guess we could just wait for a leader-typeCrystal Holder to
join up with us." Zelda said wondering if
anyone else would show up at all or if it would just be the four of
them against all the Vile, then she sighed thinking how hopeless it
seemed. "I would if i could but I've got enough on my hands
already.I will help you three in any way i can though. But i cant
leave Crystalia.'' replies Eme."I understand, must be a lot of work,
though I wouldn't really know, we didn't really have any ultimate
ruler on my homeworld." Zelda said. "Well I doubt I could truely be
leader with being Nity also
I dont think he really gives a care about this crystal fighter
stuff. Eme would have a hard time leading us her having to stay in
Crystilia and all. That sorta leaves you two Rydia and
UA."
Razis hears glass shatter he turns around to see the window has been
shattered by a lighting bolt that is flying strait towards Rydia. A
new power enters Razis' mind and he says the words "RazisProtection
Sphere!!" The sphere surronds Rydia and the bolt of lightning
disenagrates as it hits it. Razis is unaware of the second lighting
bolt that has passed through the window. He turns around in time to
see it before it strikes him in the chest sending him backwards off
his feet and smashing into the wall. UA is gonna regret what
happens next for a long time.
"Look, I volunteer to be temprorary leader until another CF who can
comes along." says UA " Now that that's over with, let's find out
where these bolts are coming from!" Razis got to his feet he had got
hit pretty hard but he was ok. Razis ran past the others then jumped
out the window
onto a grassy field. In front of him stood a 7 foot black haired
woman she was also dressed all in black. "I am Lady Darkness" she
yelled "and Crystilia will sufer at my hands. The other two CFs come
out and stand behind Razis. "You want Crystalia, you gotta
go through us." UA says.
"Fine." Lady Darkness says, just as a small army of Vile appear.
"I'll handel Darkness," Razis says. "You two take care of them."
The other two nod and split up. UA heads for the Vile approaching
from the tree line. He jumps and side kicks a Vile into a tree.
"Okay, buckos, let's dance!" A vile makes a swing at him,but he
ducks and gives it an upset punch. He backflips over
a Vile coming from behind, and gives it a mid-air front snap ick. He
blocks another punch and gives it a right hook. "Mamma Mia! These
boys are persistant!" He jumps and does
a double kick. He lets his guard down and gets punched into the arms
of a Vile. It holds him by the shirt and pulls back it's hand.
UA points behind it. "Look! AIR!" It turns it's head and UA gives
it a big punch. "Boy, how STUPID are these guys?" Two charge
him from the sides. He ducks, lifts them up, and slams them
into each other. "Answer: Very."
In the heart of the Vile lair, the big Vile speaks with a man in
familiar grey and magenta tights.
"YOUR INFORMATION WAS WELL TOLD. WE ARE PLEASED." says the Vile.
"Of course. Now, you remember the deal, right?" asks UA
"YOU GIVE US INFORMATION TO THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE CRYSTAL
FIGHTERS--" says the Vile. "And I get the chance to kill my
dimensional other." UA finishes the sentence.
They laugh the laugh of evil.
Rydia wonders why the Vile keep coming after her as she studies
Lady Darkness looking for any sign of weakness, thenshe spots another
Vile coming up from behind Lady Darkness,
"Oy! These guys are multiplying like crazy! After this I think we
might want to create some kind of stronghold, for everyone else to
escape to if not us." Then the Vile trys to attacked her Rydia jumps
up high into the air and flips over the Vile then quickly turns and
uses a new attack, "Rydia
aqua electric charge!" The force of her attack shocked the Vile for a
bit and Rydia took the time to look and see how everyone else was
doing. Razis watched the other two head off to fight the Vile.
Razis ran towards Lady Darkness. "Lets see if I can shove your
words back down your throat Lady Darkness". "Oh such big words for
such a pueny creature, why dont you try shovin this back down my
throat" Lady Darkness opened her mouth a great big ball of fire
flew from her mouth.
"Oh crap" Razis leapt into the air twisting and arcing just out of
the path of the fire ball which struck the ground and kept going
right through it creating an endless hole. "That could have hurt"
Razis said when his feet reached the ground. "Razis Tornado
STRIKE!!! The tornado formed in front
of him and was quickly moving towards Lady Darkness. With a simple
motion of her hands Lady Darkness sent the tornado back at Razis.
"Geez I guess mom wasnt lieing when she said what gose
around comes around" Razis started to run back in the other
direction. "Razis Protection SPHERE!!! the white sphere formed
around him. Razis could see the tornado coming at him he knew the
sphere wouldnt be strong enough to hold back the tornado but he was
hopeing it would atleast weakin it enough. The tornado plowed through
the sphere and captured Razis who was now helpless as he got a taste
of his own medicine. Then the tornado vanished and he fell back to
the ground and hit
hard. "Its gonna take a lot more then that to stop me Lady Darkness"
Razis got to his feet then he felt his body begin to weaken his power
start to fade his hair was turning brown. "oh no Im turning back
into Nity I have been in transformation to long why dose this have
to happen now"
Razis has weakened to much and he passes out and slumps to the
ground.
Lady Darkness opens her mouth and shoots a fire ball at the now fully
restored Nity.
"Oh crap" UA runs at top speed, grabs Nity, and just misses the
fireball. He sets him down, and turns to Darkness. "Sorry, toots.
I ain't got no outward powers, so you're
just gonna have to deal with Brooklyn born little old me!" He jumps
and side kicks the Lady Darkness in the face. She stumbles. "Very
good. But not enough." She shoots a fireball, but he
easily evades it. "Not good enough??? Gwarsh! Master Chi's gonna
have my head." He bounces off her head and does a back kick as
he falls. He lands, and kicks out her knees, making her fall.
"This is the way we beat the girl, beat the girl, beat the--"She
backhands him and he backflips to land right. Shestands up and
glares. He aims a hand. "Uh-uh-uh, ma'am. No clam bake today!"
He tries to conjoura portal, but there's just a flash, a FZZAT, but
no portal. "Aw, nutbunnies! Well, everybody plays the fool."
She shoots a fireball, but he starts to spin like a tornado and
deflects it back. it hits her, and she goes down. Hard. He stops
spinning and has a familiar green face with big teeth and tacky
yellow suit. "SSSSSSSSSomebody stop me! I hope I don't get sued
for copyright infringement." He raises his eyebrows twice,
thenzips by her side, morphed into an Avon Lady.(minus THE MASK)"Tsk,
tsk, tsk. Oh, my, GAWD. You are such a mess, deary."He pops a chair
under her and morphs the surroudings into a beuty parlor. He starts
to work on her. He pulls out a hacksaw, chainsaw, concrete block,
hammer, nails, screwdriver and TNT. He backs off and
pushes the chair up. She dizzily moves around in the chair, dressed
like a mime. He pulls back his fist, then swings, and gives her head
a flick. She looks up and collapses. "Y'know, a mime is a
terrible thing to waste." He puts botharms to the right, gets into a
darting stance, spins his
left foot, then shuffles to the left.
Although Nity's body is asleep at the moment his mind is wide
awake. The Razis in him and the Nity in him were constantly in
battle for the control of the Dwarf's mind. Mostly Razis would win
the battle because he had the power of the crystal. At first
Razis was slightly stronger and Nity was able to fight him back for
awhile but the crystal continues to get stronger and Nity continues
to lose control. Right now Nity has the uper hand he has brought
Razis down for the moment but that is because the crystal has used up
its power and is rechargeing. Nity can feel Razis invadeing the mind
once again. The crystal is getting stronger therefore so dose
Razis. They continue to struggle for control of the mind. The
shadow figure which put the crystal in the dwarfs head appears and
it speaks to the two. "Dont battle for the mind share it if you do
so you will be much stronger and you can help save this world that is
the reason I gave the Crystal to the dwarf so you two could work
together and become the strongest of warriors the best of heroes
but you two are much to selfish maybe I made a mistake but its to
late now" the figure dissappears from the mind and the battle
continues as if the shadow figure had never
spoken.
Nity slowly opens his eyes he feels terrible he lays on the ground
to tierd at the moment to get up. His eyes spot UA changing into a
strange Green faced creature then teasing Lady Darkness. Nity's eyes
spot Rydia putting the final touches to the beating up of a Vile.
Then he spots yet another person charging up on UA who has
transformed back tohis regular form .He squents and sees who the
other person is, its a second UA with his arm transformed into a
giant ax. How is it possible he thinks then he remembers UA has an
evil dimensional counterpart. Nity dosent much like this crystal
bussiness but he cant
just let UA get killed. Nity yells to UA "Watch out
for....yourself! Nity hopes Ua can stop UA UA turns
to face himself, but doesn't do anything as the axepasses through.
"Hello, mr. hologram." says UA. "On the ball as usual, eh?"
says the hologram of UA "You would know." replies UA
"I'll make this short and sweet. The Vile are going to
destroy you. I'm gonna help them. You and your Crystal Fighters
won't be able to stop me. You won't be able to stop us. And I'd
watch out for the local townfolk. Some are under our employ." says
the hologram. "Well, 'bro', thanks for the warning, but I think it's
time you leave." He sends his hand into a bush and destroys
theholomatrix device. UA disappears, while UA stands
there, all emotion hidden by his mask. He looks around. Vile are
strewn about, unconscious. He sees the others just watchinghim.
"What did THAT mean?" Nity asks. "It meant we're not gonna have any
more trouble today, but our troubles are just gonna get a lot
worse." replies UA
Nity was now becoming strong enough to raise to his feet. It would be
a minute or so till the crystal was at full strenght and he could
turn into Razis. Nity looks at Lady Darkness who lays on the ground
"so what are we going to do with her". The ground starts to shake
and Nity and the others hear the evil laughter. The three of them
look to see Lady Darkness rising to her feet "fools you cant defeat
me that easily" she motions her hands and the ground begins to split
apart the ground beneath there feet begin to break away. Below
Nity's feet the ground splits he tries to keep his balance but the
ground is shaking to hard and he falls through the giant opening
while his crystal finnally reaches its full power as he falls he
shouts the words Celestial Razis Crystal
POWER!!! the transformation takes place and he has gained the new
power of flight. He concentrates on flying and his fall comes to a
slow stop and he shoots up through the hole
to face Lady Darkness. "This aint gonna be as easy as I originally
thought". "This dose not concern you Crystal Fighters I merely
want revenge on Queen Emerald and her beloved Crystilia" shouts
Lady Darkness. Rydia gasps as Lady Darkness is revived, "H-how?"
then she
starts to attack Lady Darkness but the Vile she had thought was
incapacitated for a while had recovered much more quickly than she
had imagined and it attacked her from behind, "Oy this is ~not~
my day.." Rydia said as the Vile knocked her over. "Hold it,
guys. I'll handel this." UA walks up to Lady Darkness, and she
gets ready to fight. "Now, hold on. You want Eme,
right?"
"Yes." "I don't suppose you'd settle for Queen Elizabeth or Queen
Victoria or something?"
"No." "Oh, well, I'm sorry you said that." He starts to walk
around her with his hands behind his back. "you see, even though
she's a ROYAL pain in the butt, she's one of us. And you know we're
not gonna give her up without a fight, right?" "Yes." "And you
know that we can't avoid a fight, right?" "Yes." "And I'm sure you
have absolutely no idea about my powers,
right?"
"Yes." "Well, y'see, I'm glad you said that. But, if I were you, I
wouldn't look down." She grins evily, looks down, and falls through
a teleportal. It closes behind her. He creates a small one in his
hand, and flings it. It flies around and picks up every last one of
the VIle. It returns to him and
he closes it. "Well, I DID warn her not to look down." UA
streatches as the others watch. He heads for the castle. "So,
anyone else tired? I think we should get some sleep. Tomorrow's
gonna be a tough day." They follow him to the castle, ready to
turn in for the night.
In the Vile lair, Darkness and the Vile are dumped there. They're
greeted by UA. Lady Darkness looks up but UA puts a hand to
stop her. "Relax. I'm not the man you fought. But if you'd
like revenge on the Crystal Fighters, I have a deal for you--"
