Return to Craiss Caverns

Caverns Crossover (Self, Some L?)

Postby Thunder » 04/05/2012 9:22 PM

(This is going to be a crossover RP involving 2 of my OCs and 2 of my pets based on other characters. All are in human form, nothing is canon. This is purely for giggles. I don't expect readers, but you are welcome to observe the craziness if you wish!)

Image


Slowly, a pair of glowing, orange, reptilian eyes opened in the darkness. A low growl rumbled throughout the cave as Ryuu roused himself from his nap. He took a look around the small space before gradually rising to his feet and stretching his limbs. How long had he slept? He didn't know. He had nothing that could tell the time on him, and he could not look at the position of the sun, as the Craiss Caverns were underground.

He had come here to hide from Xenon, the scientist who had created him. It seemed that Xenon would never give up his relentless pursuit of Ryuu. Too much funding had gone into this half-man, half-machine fighter. But Ryuu would never let himself get caught. He had someone important to find, and he wanted nothing to do with the vile Zukunftstechnologie.

He allowed his eyes to adjust to the light, though it didn't take long to do so. His vision had been enhanced artificially, of course. Once Ryuu was set, he stepped out of the little cave he had taken his nap in, ready to move on.

Adey folded her arms and frowned at the gaping mouth of the cavern before her.

It wasn't like this was the first time Azrael sent her on some weird, random mission. She had no idea how a treasure hunt related to her Reaper training, and she guessed that the Head Reaper was just messing with her again. Azrael had said this would be a challenge, though, and she didn't want to look like a chicken. So here she was, getting ready to venture into this giant cavern with who-knew-what lurking around inside.

She would have competition, though. Supposedly there were a few other people partaking in this treasure hunt. She'd have to be quick about doing things, and hopefully she wouldn't get lost in whatever twisty tunnels there were inside. Adey took a deep breath, gathered her courage, and ventured in. "I guess I have a scythe if I get ambushed," she muttered. But she really hoped she wouldn't have to use it.

Well then...how did he get here?

Kuro mused silently as he stared at what appeared the be the ruins of an ancient city. He had no clue why anyone would build a city down here, but he didn't question it. What he did question, though, was how he got from the Underworld to here. He had been conducting a raid on the Underworld, followed some Underworld troops through the tunnels, and now found himself in the Craiss Caverns.

"Tch," the dark angel snorted, walking among the ruins. He had no idea where the monsters he was chasing went, having been too startled by the abrupt change in scenery. Whatever. Kuro had done the raid mostly for fun, as most of the Underworld's leaders had been defeated, and the monsters hardly could organize themselves. They were rather stupid. He figured that he might as well explore the ruins for a while. There was nothing else to do, and the place looked interesting...

Dave viewed the massive mouth of the cavern from behind his shades, which only made the deep darkness of the cave look even darker. He thought about removing them, but cool kids don't take off their shades. Or at lest, this cool kid didn't.

He was at this cave because of some treasure hunt event. Someone had hidden a treasure chest deep within the Craiss Caverns, and whoever found it first would not only get a prize from the host, but could also keep whatever loot was in the chest. It was supposed to be a tricky challenge, but Dave was sure he had seen worse. After all, playing a game that destroyed your home planet was pretty serious business.

With a sword in hand, Dave took his first steps into the cave. He wasn't really into this treasure hunt business, but some of his buddies had persuaded him to go, and he thought he'd easily be able to win the prize. A shot at it wouldn't hurt.

Kuro walked along one of the walls, running his fingers across a series of runes. They were not in any language he knew. Still, he got a sense of power from them. He paused to take a deep breath. The air smelled damp and musty. And it was dark too, wonderfully dark, and he certainly knew much about the shadows. They were his friends, his allies. But the darkness was not absolute, as tiny crystal shards protruding from the decaying buildings twinkled here and there. It was beautiful, the angel had to admit to himself.

As he passed by what seemed to be a collapsed dome, Kuro suddenly saw something move out of the corner of his eye. He froze and stood as still as stone, magenta eyes darting around, but whatever it was, it had left. Was it one of the Underworld troops he had been following? Kuro frowned and pushed further into the caverns.

As he walked he extended his palm, from which a strange, silver light appeared. The light grew and twisted itself into an elegant shape before materializing into a weapon- the Silver Bow. It was Kuro's weapon of choice, and he could use it well. Whatever was scuttling around in these caves, the dark angel could take it.

Adey grumbled to herself as she wandered around in the cave. The host hadn't given anyone any maps, let alone a little hint as to where this treasure was located. Everyone had to do all the navigating and searching alone. It certainly could be dangerous, which made Adey wonder why she even bothered accepting Azrael's challenge in the first place. But he was very convincing. "That guy's so nonchalant about danger," the girl muttered under her breath.

The cave she was in right now had the remains of a large structure in the center. It might have been a tower in the past. Lots of purple gemstones were growing out of it, and Adey stopped to admire them for a moment- purple was her favorite color. There were a bunch of stalagmites and stalactites too, and it was eeriely silent, But the ruined tower gave the place an odd beauty and dispelled Adey's fears somewhat.

Unfortunately, her nervousness came back as soon as Adey heard something like footsteps nearby. Her head shot up, and she ducked into a crevice in the tower. Was it a monster? Or maybe one of the other contestants? She would probably do well to be wary. A golden mist started billowing forth form her hands, forming itself into a scythe with a gold handle and silver blade. An amethyst adorned the weapon's top. Adey took a moment to calm herself before leaving the crevice. "I'll get Azrael back for this," she growled.

Dave was several caves behind Adey, though the other contestant had left no signs of her presence anywhere. He found himself at a fork in the path. There was a tunnel to his left and another to his right. He frowned, puzzling over which direction to take.

A shrill screech startling him out of his thoughts. "Agh!" Dave jumped and whirled around, swinging his sword...but it was only a little Batti flying around in the dark. His face turned slightly red. "Thank god no one saw that," he muttered to himself, wiping some sweat off his forehead. It wouldn't do the cool kid any good to act like a wimp. The boy resumed his debate over which way to go.

After a few more seconds, he arbitrarily chose to go left.

Kuro was now moving through an excruciatingly long tunnel. He sighed as he ran his fingers over the cold stone. He had an intimate relation with the darkness, yes, but it was still rather hard to see. He hadn't seen whatever that thing was yet, and he thought he might have lost it. All he could hear were the quiet squeaks of Batti and the sounds of water dripping from stalactites onto the ground. Plop. Plop.

"I bet Pit would chicken out here," he chuckled to himself, a smirk appearing on his lips. His "light" counterpart could be brave enough, sure, but Pit still got nervous from time to time. The dark angel, though, wasn't really afraid of anything...except for maybe nonexistence.

Kuro froze in his tracks when he heard another scuffling noise. He peered ahead, and he thought he saw a faint shape like a claws hand. "A Handora?" he mused. If it was a Handora, it would be a minor threat. Still, the angel wanted to be careful. Taking a deep breath, he suddenly faded right into the shadows, becoming one with them.

The left tunnel took Dave into a wide chamber with what appeared to be skeletal remains of animals scattered over the floor. Nothing was rotting, for the bones were too ancient, but the smell wasn't too great either. The boy wrinkled his nose and stuck out his tongue. "Yuck," he commented. He looked around the cave a little, making sure not to step on any bones. They gave the cave a rather gloomy atmosphere. It was somewhat disconcerting.

As he was wandering, Dave felt his shoe hit something solid. He looked down to find what appeared to be a huge skull wrapped in...chains? He frowned. Why would someone wrap a skull up in chains? He tapped his sword against the skull, and it wiggled slightly. He shrugged to himself and then turned around to investigate someplace else.

Then there was a rattling noise.

Dave turned around again, and his ruby eyes widened behind his shades. The skull was quaking violently now, on its own. Now there was a sharp crackling as a large crack appeared down the center of the skull. "What the hell?" Dave backed away slowly towards an exit, sword at the ready. And then the skull broke in half.

The most hideous monster Dave had ever seen, even uglier than the Sburb ogres, emerged from the skull. It looked like a giant human heart with a large eye in the center, gross and glossy. It was huge, towering above Dave, and when it saw him it began to advance towards him rapidly, faster than the boy thought it could move.

"Oh shit."

Ryuu's footsteps echoed through the caves as he ventured through them. He walked cautiously, wary of potential danger, yet he knew where to go. The scientists had been wise enough to grant him a great memory, and although he had only been in these caverns once, he could find his way back easily. That wasn't to say he didn't make errors. Sometimes he'd come upon a dead end or go the wrong way, but such mistakes were few.

He stopped walking, though, when he heard something like a scream. Ryuu quickly glanced around, but no one was in sight. Then the scream came again, and there was a sound like metal clashing against metal. Was there a fight going on? He listened for where the sound was coming from and advanced in that direction.

Ryuu eventually did find the source of the noise. He ducked behind a large boulder to observe. There was a blonde haired boy, probably younger than Ryuu, fighting a disgusting looking monster with a sword. It seemed that the boy's attacks weren't doing much, as the sword bounced right off of the monster's thick hide.


"Shit!" Dave hissed. Why was this sword so incredibly shitty? The monster had not been hurt at all by his blows. He had even tried some time shenanigans, but being in Evelon had greatly weakened his time powers. The monster lifted one of its massive legs and gave Dave a great wallop. The boy had the air knocked out of him and flew several feet, landing roughly on the ground. "Ouchhhhhhh! The fuck, this thing is so strong!" He got up weakly, heaving for breath. Why the hell would anyone set such a powerful monster loose on the treasure hunters?!

Dave found himself backing up to a wall. His shades were missing, probably flung aside during the fight, revealing his bright red eyes. Welp, it seemed like he was cornered. Was this the end? Maybe. It would be a pretty crappy death, mauled by a monster in a cave during a treasure hunt. He shut his eyes and held his sword in front of him as the beast approached, as if that would do anything.

And then his thoughts were interrupted by a stream of flame.

Ryuu ran out from behind the rock, spewing flames at the monster. The fires were much more effective than Dave's sword, evidenced by the fact that the creature was now shrieking in pain. It turned around to face its new foe and stomped towards Ryuu at high speeds. But Ryuu was undeterred. Small guns appeared at the tips of his metal wings, firing on the beast. And when the monster got closer, he ran up to it and gave it a firm kick right in its single eyeball. It writhed in pain.

Dave, incredulous, watched the scene from afar. Who the hell is this? he thought to himself. He can breathe fire, and he's got metal wings... The boy took a second to compose himself before running up to the monster. He used a bit of his time powers just to speed up his movements, and he slashed at the creature's softer midsection with his sword. The sword made a fairly large cut, and dark monster blood spewed out from it, splattering onto Dave. "Gross," he growled.

Ryuu took note of Dave's presence. He would have to make sure he didn't accidentally hurt his ally. The weakened monster lifted one of its large feet to crush Ryuu, but the artificial fighter was faster. He flicked his fingers, extending his sharp nails to several inches in length, and plunged his claws into the monster's eye. It let out one last shriek before collapsing and disintegrating into purple mist. Nothing of it was left behind.

Adey, the in meantime, felt utterly lost.

"Stupid, stupid!" she growled to herself. Whether she was calling herself stupid, or the host of the treasure hunt stupid, she had no idea. What she did know was that she was utterly frustrated by her navigation failures. Aside from the pretty gemstones that grew in the caverns, she hadn't found anything that remotely resembled treasure. There were some decaying buildings and bones and that was it.

She was so irritated with everything that she had to stop walking for a moment to recollect herself. "Just calm down Adey, just calm down..." she sighed. "That treasure can't be too far. Unless they want to kill the contestants." The girl took a look around the large cave she was in. There were three different routes she could choose from. Which was two too many. But she had to pick something if she wanted to make any progress. So Adey began to walk over to the rightmost passage, when...

THUD.

"Holy shit!" Adey screamed, staggering backwards and dropping her scythe in the process. She had just run into something...but what? She couldn't see anything in front of her! That is, until a strange, winged guy materialized out of the shadows right before her.

"The hell?" Kuro exclaimed as he solidified before Adey. He hadn't been paying attention while walking, as he thought he saw some Underworld monsters scuttling around in the darkness, and now he had run into this blonde girl with a scythe. "Who are you?" He readied his bow in case this girl would somehow pose a threat, walking around with that weapon.

Adey did not move at first. She was too busy gawking at the angel's wings, which were colored a strange black with a hint of green in them. They stood out just slightly from the darkness and almost seemed to blend in. She had no idea how the angel got here, but wings of those color could only mean one thing. The girl scrambled to pick her scythe back up, and when it was in her hands, she put on her best aggressive face and pointed the scythe at the angel. "S-stop right there!" she stammered, leering at him. "Are you with the Banished?"

"The what?" Kuro growled, raising an eyebrow. "I have no idea what you're talking about, but I don't side with anyone unless they can help me." He spun the Silver Bow in his hand, smirking at Adey.

"But your wings...!"

"Yeah, so? What about them? Kuro unfurled his wings to their full length and laughed. "They can carry me far, but I don't see what else is so special about them. And what about that scythe of yours? Why is a girl like you carrying that thing around?"

Adey scowled at him. "I'm a Reaper," she retorted. Well, technically she was still training to be one, but close enough. For some reason, the dark angel cracked a smile at her words and began laughing hysterically.

"You?" he guffawed. "A Reaper? Haha...you look nothing like a Reaper! What kind of place do you come from?"

"A place where angels with dark wings like yours are considered criminals!" Adey hissed back. Kuro only snickered at this.

"Sure, sure. Maybe my wings are black, but I still have a sense of justice, you know. Humans like to judge things by how they look. Unless you wanna fight me with that scythe, I suggest you put it down. I've got nothing to do with you and have bigger fish to fry. Why the hell are you here anyways?"

"...a treasure hunt," Adey replied after a moment of silence. God, this guy was as agitating as Azrael. At her words, though, the dark angel seemed to look more interested.

"...treasure?" he repeated. "Well I didn't see any treasure here so far. Maybe you should just turn back."

"No thanks. I'm going to get laughed at if I don't find this damn treasure. Now if you'll please let me proceed..."

But before either of them could do anything else, there was a strange, rattling roar within the same cavern they were standing in.

Dave wrinkled his nose at the monster blood that got on his clothes. It was a weird purple color and didn't smell very nice. He tried wiping it off, but it stuck pretty well. "Damn, guess this is going in the wash," he sighed. Then, he glanced up at his savior, the weird machine-dragon dude. The machine-dragon dude stared right back, his orange eyes pulsing faintly in the dark of the cave. "Man, you could give my bro a run for the money," he commented. The other male did not seem to react. "Thanks. I guess." The white-haired fellow nodded but said nothing, and the orange eyes betrayed no emotion. Wow, Dave thought. This guy lets less on than I do. "Um. What's your name, big guy?"

"...Ryuu," slowly came the reply. Ryuu's voice was low and soft, yet it had something like essence of fire in it.

"Ryuu, huh?" Dave scratched his head. "Just like my animes, man. You're not a talker, huh?" Ryuu made no reply, so Dave just shrugged. "Eh, I'm cool with that. I'm Dave. Dave Strider. Have you seen any treasure in here by any chance?" Ryuu shook his head. "No? Damn. This whole treasure hunt thing was probably a huge fucking rip-off, then. That sucks. Guess I'm gonna leave then. There's no point in pursuing this stupid scam." With that, Dave turned to leave.

But before he could take a single step, a faint, feminine scream rang out somewhere. "Huh?" Dave swivled back around and looked about the cave. Ryuu too had heard it and had turned to gaze at a passage that led out of the cave they were in. "Is someone in trouble?" There was a moment of quiet, and then Ryuu began walking down the corridor. Dave started running after him. "Hey, hold up. If someone's in danger, I'm coming with you. It's probably another monster mauling someone's goddamn ass off."


Ryuu did not object to the boy's coming with him, and the two ventured deeper into the caves together.

Upon hearing the roar, Adey let out a yelp and jumped towards Kuro; the sound had come from right behind her. The dark angel was amused by her fright, and he let out a low chuckle. "Haha...are you a chicken?" he mocked, smirking at her. Adey glared at him angrily.

"S-shut up!" she stammered. Then the roar sounded again, this time closer. "Oh god...it's getting nearer. What should we do?"

"Chances are, it's one of those Underworld monsters I was following. Eh, I can probably take it on." Kuro smirked and took a step forward, twirling his bow.

"...Underworld? Um, I'm pretty sure this isn't hell or anything. What would an 'Underworld' monster be doing here?"

"Heh, I made a little raid on the Underworld out of boredom and chased some of the monsters out. They probably fled into these caves."

"But...then you just threatened all the treasure hunters in here! I mean, accidentally, but still!" But the angel just shrugged nonchalantly.

"It's not like I knew people would be dumb enough to have a treasure hunt in such a dangerous place. Whatever, if I find any monsters, I'll make quick work of them. And you probably could too, if you know how to use that scythe at all. They're pretty stupid creatures and have little organization without any commanders."

As soon as Kuro finished talking, there was a third roar, much louder this time. Suddenly, a strange, purplish flame flickered into being in front of Kuro. It was followed by the appearance of a large, green, skull-shaped creature within the flames, its jaws filled with what seemed to be human skulls. Kuro froze upon seeing the spirit, losing his haughty confidence. "Shit!" he hissed, running away from the creature. "It's an Orne!"

"A what?" Adey shrieked. The girl suddenly felt Kuro grab her hand roughly.

"You can't kill it, so just RUN!" Kuro hollered. Before she could protest, she found herself being dragged along with the angel, the Orne following them at a deceptively fast speed.
