Prologue: A trip to the unknown.
Unknown planet, location and time unclear. . .
In the prison campground, one of the sleeping prisoners gasps in awake and felt his head hurt.
"Ugh, what's going on, where am I?" The prisoner mumbles.
He then tries to slowly remember on how he got here.
Flashback. April 19th, 2015 8:30 p.m.
It was a long and hard work at High School since moving from Texas to Michigan since Artyom Grey was only 10 years old. He was 17 years old now and always had some hard times without enjoying life in classes. He most of the times tries a few or so cheat sheets to his friends, but gets caught and has been to two detentions. Guess that's just the way he is since his father left the family and that he lives with his mother, his step brother, and his twin sister. He'll have to learn at some point sometimes that he can't be like this forever.
His six friends are named Steven, James, Joey, Kristina, Krystal, and Sally. They both get along with Artyom sometimes, but they just try to avoid so that they can focus on their own career goals in mind and Artyom keeps distracting them. So there gonna have to tell him that they'll be parting ways to move forward.
"Artyom can you stop getting us into trouble every damn time?!" Steven said getting annoyed. He's 18 years old and always been working to one day have a good scholarship to be a math teacher for middle school.
"Yeah like I can't read everything while on an empty stomach." James said sitting tiredly. He's 17 years old and just always slacking to just find a good job in order to have a restaurant filled with good free protein.
"Can you not be more pathetic than James here?" Joey said focusing on building strategy getting the girls. Joey is 19 years old and he loves to get girls for their phone numbers, but gets rejected and some slaps too.
"Lately all four of you just started like being boyfriends, eeeeewww." Kristina said sarcasm. Kristina is 19 years old and just want some peace and quiet to have a study for books. Always gets mean and language talk yeeeeesh.
"Oh it's okay Artyom, I'm okay with you if were going to detention together." Krystal said with a blushing smile. Krystal is 17 years old and has always had a crush on Artyom since he had a new home in Michigan. Artyom did save Krystal from being bullied by the other girls in cheer leading.
"Oh don't worry about it Artyom, I'm sure that I can buy you some snacks when you die of boredom." Sally said in laughter. Sally is 16 years old and she also has a crush on Artyom a bit, but not exactly told him. Sally didn't had a lot of friends in elementary school till she dropped some books and that Artyom helped her out. That was the best moment in her life.
"Oh come on guys and gals, this will be our last year together! Hey uh tell you what, how about we go find a treasure by the beach? We can all have that special moment when all seven of us that had a great time to discover a new life together!" Artyom said with a pride smile on his face thinking that he got the votes in.
"Count me in with new problems in geometry." Steven said feeling better.
"If there is a new recipe, I'll gulp it down!" James said still hungry.
"At least I'll find a new land of babes and hot chicks to find along the way." James said with shining eyes.
"If I get bored again, someone is gonna get a hit in the groin!" Kristina said with a mad face.
"Oh goody goody, now me and Artyom with have a lot of time enjoying on a beach with me!" Krystal said with a squeak and shining smile on her face. Which also looked like her love power level is over 9000.
"Hey ease up on him Krystal, there will be no love dating on the beach." Sally said feeling jealous to Krystal. Probably because she wants him too, but with a private more different location.
"Then let's go people, we got ourselves an investigation to discover unknown territory!" Artyom yelled out to his friends.
It was now a few hours behind and the sun is going to set soon. The forecast of the heavy storm said that it's going to hit near where Artyom and his friends are going to the beach to find some treasures, but that won't stop till he finds what he's been looking for.
After packing a few things to go, Artyom and his friends had finally arrived at the beach. They only see some beach toys like everywhere and there's been some kind of belongings on the grounds too. They tried to yell and see if anyone could be back for their belongings, but not a single answer responded back. It's like everything at this beach suddenly became a ghost town.
"Alright team, there are a couple of missions to begin with. First: Finding some treasures under the sand. Second: Make sure to find anyone or anything that might know of what the hell happened here, got everything down?" Artyom said and his friends nodded..
As his friends split into two teams, he was with Krystal, Sally, and Steven to search for any clues to know what's been going on. So far none of them found anything as they continued for a couple of hours. Artyom found something in the sand like a sealed stone.
"Well well well, look at what we have here? Looks like a strange stone with a crest on it." Artyom said with an interesting
Carefully, Artyom examines it and this strange stone looks to be part crystal.
"Maybe I should just keep it with me at all times, just to make sure I examine it later."
"Uhhhh I don't know if you should keep it Artyom. You have to put it back." Sally said with a worried look on her.
"Eehhh it'll be alright Sally. Besides, this stone could help with some science work." Steven said in his cool tone.
As soon as they were done searching and digging, Artyom kept the stone with him then pauses.
He notices a writing in the sand that he dug the stone up from as he began saying these words on it
"Who shall ever hold the 'Hope' for the demising collapse of Harmony and Chaos, must also help protect the 'Bearers of Harmony and the Five Armies' in their darkest time of wars and death."
"Hey guys come over here, I found something!" James shouted by the shores in.
Artyom shook his head as he and the rest of his friends ran up to James, knowing if he found a clue.
"I discovered a video camera and a memory chip of what really happened here."
"Well at least we found a clue, try playing it back from the beginning." Artyom said as they all looked very carefully.
It's gonna be raining soon as Artyom and his friends kept going to see any videos on there till they see a clip scene that everyone was being attacked by an unknown creature lurking in the water. No one had survived as the creature cleaned up any evidences and took every deceased bodies into the shores.
"This can't be good now. Steven call the cops over here. Tell them what we have found!" Artyom said still looking around watching.
Ten minutes had passed since Steven called the cops over and they will be on their way.
"Alright, now let's just wait and t-"
Suddenly, everything stopped in time and his words were silent.
He and his friends were frozen as an unknown figure above them appeared in the air.
"Hmmmmm, these competitors can prove useful to us."
The figure snaps it's fingers and multiple portals appeared below them. Each of Artyom's friends were pulled down as he went down last. When the group disappeared into the portals, the figure claps it's hand and makes a last sentence before disappearing.
"Let the chess board games, begin. . ."
Present time. . .
Artyom hums and thinks on how he ended up here.
"Last time we were at the beach, but I don't remember being in this strange prison."
His mumbling is interrupted when he hears some chatter of soldiers nearby.
"Focus all fire power on the main unit, send out a squad to retrieve the prisoners alive."
"Yes sir."
Confused on what they were talking about, he tries to think of a plan.
"I better find a way out of here and look for my friends out there. Even if I don't have tools with me, I need someone to help me out. Problem is, I'm not sure if anyone around here can help me out."
His eyes notice someone gesturing him to keep quiet.
"Shhh, keep your voice down." Her voice whispers, signaling him to come over to her.
Nodding, he cautiously slowly walk over to the prisoner girl with short grey hair.
"Sorry about that, I'm just rather confused on how did I got here." He whispers to her.
"It's okay, the names Lu Lingqi. How about you?" She whispery asks.
"Artyom, Artyom Grey. Nice to meet you."
Author's Note
Well here it is folks, my rewrite from the past story I had to cancel it that I'm sure everyone can understand why. Haven't made much progress of trying to get it going, but hopefully this new rewrite of mine can help lead it in a new direction while keeping the crossover of Dynasty Warriors since it's one of my favorite games to play. Be sure to let me know on what do you think and a Merry Christmas to everyone in 2020, especially to my readers and followers.
