From Dark Sun to Kory
This is the first story I have written, so please understand that it might not be all that good. I am a bit of a new writer, but I'd say this is good for a first story, right?
The story begins with Kory Korona, at the time Dark Sun Korona, inside a prison on his home planet, Tallos IV.
He is the only one left. His brother and sisters had
already escaped, leaving him, Dark Sun Korona, to remain and receive worse
tortures than before his fellow siblings escape.
All four of them were imprisoned by their father, Lranda Tsekren, for you see,
none of his children followed his views for wanting death and destruction. What
they wanted was peace. Tsekren knew that each of them was gifted in such a way
that, in time, they may overthrow him if they had the chance, so he sentenced
all four of them to severe torture for life. What they experienced was
gruesome, crucifixion, rape until they bled, lashings with a cat-o-nine-tails
twelve times a day and more.
Dark Sun sat in his cell, hands chained behind his head and a collar around his
neck that drained his abilities. The cell itself was torture. Pitch black and
the smell of blood, urine, and vomit lingered in the air strong enough that if
one was exposed to it for too long, they would die. His body was very well
built and stripped nude, revealing all the scars and dried blood trails on his
body. His once shimmering scales dull and dirty. His wings battered, broken,
and tied to his body. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with hatred for his
father. Blood dripped from every opening on his body, eyes, ears, nose, mouth,
everything. His mind was formulating a plan for escape, but wasn't having much
luck.
Dark Sun knew that even without any weapons, he was still deadly with his fists.
Suddenly, the plan formulated itself in his mind and he even saw the plan in
the darkness of his cell. He focused very hard and saw himself going through
the dungeon and not leaving any survivors. He was so intent on viewing his plan
that he never heard the door unlock and a guard walk into the cell. The only
time he noticed was when the guard unlocked the restraints holding his hands.
"Wake up bitch!" the guard snarled at him. He looked up at the guard and stood,
stretching a bit as the guard grabbed his hands and re cuffed them. This wasn't
in his plan and he had to change his plan fast. The guard led him out of the
cell into a dimly lit hallway, yet, to Dark Sun, it looked like he was outside
in the sun. They continued to walk past more guards and, when they reached a
barren hall, the guard lurched forward and collapsed to the ground, dead. Dark
Sun stood perfectly still, except for his tail, which stood in a vertical
position, swaying slightly, as he'd used it in place of his fists. He then
knelt down and searched the guard for his keys to the cuffs, and he searched
thoroughly, but came up with nothing. "What the...? Why doesn't this guard have
any keys?" he thought to himself. His ears perked as he heard running footsteps
coming towards him. He grabbed the sword the guard carried and had to hold it
with two hands, something he was not used to. The guards surrounded him, but
Dark Sun remained holding the sword. He spun once with the sword extended and
the guards fell in a heap, their decapitated heads rolling on the floor. He
then grabbed the blade of the sword and cut the chains holding the cuffs
together and grabbed another sword, one in each hand, and bolted down the hall
as fast as his legs could carry him, which is usually Mach 1, but with the
collar on, could only run about 20 mph. "Damn collar. If I didn't have this
thing on I'd be out of here already," he said to himself. As he ran, he heard
the alarm sound and knew someone had seen him, but he kept running, though he
tripped up a few times on the floor. He then felt a small bite on his arm and
figured it was a mosquito, so he kept running. After a while, he began to tire
and stopped for a break. "What...what's happening...to me?" He then collapsed on
the ground and saw guards surround him and begin to beat him. He thought then
that he was done for. Just before he passed out, he heard the cry of a dragon
like himself.
"Ugh...what happened?" he said out loud. He felt his feet being dragged behind
him and saw two guards holding him by his shoulders, which were almost
dislocated from his weight. He looked at them, but they stared straight ahead.
He knew he was done for now. The guards suddenly ducked into a secret room and
untied his wings and spread them out, which hurt him a bit as he hadn't had them
spread in 12 years. He was confused, but as the guards removed their helmets,
he recognized them immediately. "Dark Moon! Light Sun! Light moon! What're you
doing here?" His fellow siblings had returned for him! He tried to sit up and
grunted, then laid back down, pain rushing through his body. "Stay still,
brother," said Light Sun. She had her hands held over his body and was chanting
a spell, while Dark Moon stood in a corner, watching Light Sun work on healing
Dark Sun, and Light Moon watched for any guards, as the alarm was still
sounding. Soon, Dark sun felt his wings move and it felt so good to be able to
stretch them again. He sighed softly, eyes closed, as his sister continued to
heal him fully. Dark Moon remained silent, watching his brother heal.
"Here they come!" said Light Moon, readying herself for battle. Dark Sun stood
slowly, grabbed two swords, and rushed in front of the guards, cutting them all
down easily. Dark Moon's jaw dropped at what he saw and walked over to his
brother, chuckling a bit. "Well, looks like you've gotten stronger from being
here so long." Dark Sun smirked and his ears perked, hearing more guards coming
down the hall. He looked to Dark Moon, a very stern look on his face, "Get out
of here. I don't want you to end up dead. I can take care of myself." Dark
Moon nodded, "Ok bro Just be careful. We'll wait for you at the portal we
found," he said as Dark Sun jumped in front of the guards and fought them all at
once. The other three made a run for it and escaped. As Dark Sun cut down the
last guard, he felt something inside him change. He stood still in awe as
golden bands formed on his arms and back. He felt the darkness inside him
weaken and the good that was waiting to come out burst forth and take control of
his body. He knew then that he was not meant for evil. He felt new strength
flowing through his body and concentrate in his hands. "W...what's this new power
I'm feeling?" he wondered in complete awe.
His ears perked again as he heard two hissing screams of pain as two whips
cracked. One of the voices sounded deep and masculine. The other was slightly
higher and feminine. He then felt something inside him tell him to help whoever
was being whipped, a feeling he'd never had before. He followed his ears to a
small torture room deep in the prison and peeked in, but next thing he knew, he
was laying on the floor. A guard had sucker punched him from behind. He
grunted loudly as he was hit, distracting the guards inside the chamber long
enough for the two creatures to bite them and inject a large amount of a very
strong toxin, killing them instantly. The two creatures slithered quickly from
the chamber and bit the guard attacking Dark Sun. As his eyes opened slowly, he
looked up and saw the two snake-like figures standing over him and knew they
were Yuan-Ti (for the ones who do not play Dungeons & Dragons, the Yuan-Ti
species is a half snake half human creature, where the females look much like
the males, but are slightly slimmer). "Who...who are you, Yuan-Ti?" He asked
them. The male responded in a hissing voice, being part snake, "I am
Mah'ssshran, and thisss iss my sssisster, Ss'tikra," the male replied, "Who are
you?" Dark Sun looked at them both and suddenly, something hit him. "I am Kory
Korona," he replied.
Mah'shran and Sstikra bowed respectfully "We are forever in your debt for
sssaving uss," said Mah'shran. "How can we repay you?" asked S'thikra. Kory
chuckled and shook his head, "No repayment necessary." He turned around, ears
perked. "Come on, we'll get out of here together," said Kory. The Yuan-Ti
nodded and slithered after him, keeping up quite easily.
Soon, they came to the main passages and skidded to a halt, as they came upon
elite guards. The elites are much stronger and faster than a normal guard
farther down in the dungeon. Kory ran forward and jumped at one of them, foot
extended, as he kicked her in the head, and yes, the elites are female. A
normal guard would've been killed by a kick with this much force, but not the
elites. The elites turned to face the three of them and attacked. In the
beginning, the elites had the upper hand, but Kory never gives up, no matter how
badly he's wounded. He fought alone, as he'd told the others to go ahead of him
and he'll catch up, but the Yuan-Ti were so fast that they had already gotten
out of the dungeon and gone through the portal Darien had mentioned earlier.
Kory knew this and knew he wouldn't have to worry about them anymore, as he
usually likes to fight alone.
After a long and very tiring fight, Kory emerged victorious. He was badly
wounded, but he didn't care as he rushed on, his eyes getting used to the
gradual increase in the lighting as he continued upward into the dungeon,
getting closer and closer to the top. He never looked back to see if any guards
were coming, and he didn't care as the collar suddenly fell off his neck. The
elites had done him a favor, and they were still alive and following him! He
paused and turned to them, "Well, you both sure are persistent," he said to
them, readying himself for battle.
The elites kept running and grabbed his shoulders, yanking him off his feet, as
they dragged him into a secret room. The elites stripped off their armor,
revealing two beautiful dragonesses. "D...Darkstar? Swipher? What are you doing
here? And as elites even," he asked his two old friends. They knelt beside him
and healed any wounds, fresh or old, that he had, but could not prevent them
from scarring. "We became elites when you first came to this hell," replied
Swipher. Kory watched Darkstar sit on his chest and giggle, "Well, you sure
have gotten stronger," she said. Kory knew what she was thinking and shook his
head. "Not here or now, Star. We need to get out of here first," he said,
chuckling. Darkstar sighed and pouted, "Oh, ok. But when we get out of here,
you owe me one," she said teasingly, giving him a wink.
Kory could feel himself blush and nodded, knowing he'd just put him in quite a
predicament. He sat up and slowly looked out the door into the hall, knowing
the whole prison knew of his escape by now. "Let's get out of here together,"
he told them. "And nothing until we get out of here and meet up with the
others." He smirked to his friends and they giggled to themselves and each
other. He grabbed two swords and sheathed them on his back. He smiled very
evilly when he found an Imperial Heavy Repeater hyper machine gun and put it on
his back as well, making sure he could grab it in an instant if needed. "Let's
go," he said to the two females.
They slowly and cautiously made their way into the hall, making sure no guards
were around before bolting down the hall. Kory suddenly lurched forward and hit
the ground, face first, breaking a few of the tiles. Elites had found him
again. He stood up slowly and the elites were lying on the ground, dead. He
looked up to the Kaaduus and smirked, "Heh, I'm not the one who's gotten
stronger, you are," he said with a chuckle. They both blushed, turning their
silvery scales bright red. "Come on, let's continue on. We've only got, I think
half of this place left before we're out. But then we need to find this portal
Darien was talking about," he said to them. They both nodded, still blushing,
and they all ran off after him, keeping up easily. They reached the huge hole
to the next level and jumped up, easily reaching the top.
They continued down the hall and found more elites, fighting them and taking
them down easily. As they reached the end of the mile long corridor, they heard
commotion above and ducked into a secret room, knowing that the Omegas were
coming, and they didn't want to mess with them. Omegas are huge, about 10
stories tall, but able to fit in the upper sections of the prison. They are
much stronger than elites because they have been infused with Phazon, a highly
radioactive mutagen found on Tallos IV and Tallon IV. The Omegas are quite slow
because of their size, but their attacks are extremely fast and powerful. It's
almost impossible to hit one with a physical attack, because of the Phazon armor
they have on.
"Ok, let's go" said Kory. The other two nodded and they jumped up through the
vertical passage, and an Omega was waiting for them at the top. "You shall go
no further!" it said. It was a fearsome sight to behold, but it seemed to be
easy, yet Kory knew it wouldn't be. He stood back and looked up to the Omega.
He leapt at its head, a futile attempt as he just bounced off the thick armor
plating covering the Omega. He landed with a loud thud and the Omega just
laughed. "You think you can get through this? I think not!" it snarled at him.
Kory remained calm, though he knew it would be a tough fight. He pulled out his
Imperial Heavy Repeater and opened fire, as Darkstar and Swipher used their
fists, though did little damage to it.
The Omega sent a huge shockwave at them and hit all three of them, sending them
flying into the wall behind them. They almost fell all the way down the shaft
they had just come up. Once they got themselves together, they spread their
wings and flew back up to confront the Omega, who was waiting at the top for
them, ready to strike.
The Omega just laughed and grabbed Kory and picked him up. "Kory!" Swipher and
Darkstar were helpless to do anything. They could only continue to try to
attack the Omega with their fists, but they did nothing to it. The Omega just
laughed, "Did you really think you could defeat me? You should've known about
us Omegas and known that we are invincible!" Kory was losing hope fast as he
was being crushed. He could feel each bone in his body beginning to break as he
writhed in agony in the Omega's hand. Darkstar tried to pry its hand open to
free Kory, but failed miserably. "Kory! No!" She was getting desperate, as she
tried everything she could. The Omega Just laughed and knocked both Darkstar
and Swipher away.
"No! Darkstar! Swipher!" called Kory. There was no response, and he thought
they were dead, and he thought he was going to be dead too as he felt his lower
spine snap like a twig. He couldn't move even his head. He never saw the two
fiery blazes behind him as he struggled the best he could. He then felt the
Omega back up as two phoenixes appeared in front of it. Omegas were weak to
fire. The Omega fell backwards, screaming in agony as one of the two phoenixes
had struck it in the head. Its body began to boil and it let Kory go, right
onto its body. Kory was engulfed by the liquid Phazon that was coming from its
body and didn't move. The two phoenixes looked back and dove straight into the
Phazon, pulling Kory from it. Kory's body was glowing blue from the viral
exposure. He wasn't breathing. "Kory.... no...." Darkstar was standing over his
body. He didn't move, his eyes glowing blue and open, fear inside them as she
tried to heal him. It didn't work. Kory was dead. Darkstar looked to Swipher,
who was standing above them both, and shook her head. "No!!" she cried.
Darkstar's ears perked up. "Oh gods. No more, please!" There were more guards
approaching, and they sounded like elites and maybe another Omega.
They carried Kory's body into a secret room to perform a ritual that is known
only to Tallonians / Tallosians. This ritual brings one back from the dead by
summoning the spirit of the one deceased, as the spirit stays close to the body
for a day then leaves to Kinaten, or the heaven of this system. They said the
chant, which took about an hour by itself, and Darkstar felt his spirit inhabit
her body, signifying that the spell worked. His spirit then went back into his
body, causing Star to just about faint from energy loss.
Kory's body spasmmed and he awoke a week later. He found Swipher and Darkstar
curled up on either side of him and he just smiled. He gently shook their
shoulders and they woke up slowly, then jumped on him when they saw he was alive
and well again. "Oh gods, Kory! You're alive again!" cried Swipher. "Well, it
seems like I am, doesn't it?" he chuckled. Darkstar slapped him. "What? What?
What'd I do?" Kory wondered aloud. "You left us, stupid!" replied Star. Kory
was about to make a comeback, but couldn't think of anything to say, so he just
put Star in a headlock and gave her a noogie. Star squeaked and acked as she
fell forward as Kory let her go, chuckling. "Why you... You'll pay for that!" shi
said to him. He just chuckled and smirked, "Then come and get me." Darkstar
tackled Kory and he fell on his back, laughing hard as they wrestled around.
Swipher got in on the action and jumped on both of them, wrestling around as
well. They did this for a while and pretty much exhausted themselves. They lay
there, panting heavily and laughing. Kory glanced over to Star and smirked
evilly. Darkstar wondered what he was thinking about and her ears perked. "Um,
guys, we've got trouble," she said.
More guards had been coming down the hall and had just run past. Lucky for the
three of them, they weren't noticed. If they had been, the alarm would have
been blaring by now. They looked outside and saw guards rushing down the
hallway going down into the prison. They didn't even notice Star's head
sticking out from the room. Darkstar pulled her head back in and giggled, "Boy,
are they ever stupid." Kory just shrugged and chuckled, "And when did you
figure that out?" he asked. Darkstar didn't even bother trying to make a
comeback. "Ok, enough fooling around. Let's just get out of here!" said
Swipher impatiently. They nodded and re equipped themselves.
As they made their way back into the hall, Kory got knocked over by a dragon,
much like himself. As he opened his eyes, he blinked a few times and chuckled,
"Darien! What the hell are you doing?" Darien just looked at him and smirked,
"I figured you needed some help, so I came back. Also, you have no clue of
where that portal is, do you?" Kory sighed and tossed Darien off, hopping back
up to his feet. Darien rushed out of the prison, leaving behind a tracking
device, pointing to where Darien and the portal were. They followed the device
and didn't look up until Kory suddenly fell forward and fell face first into
some mud. Darkstar giggled and looked down at him, "Nice face plant." Kory
blinked a bit and looked at the ground, "Wait a minute.........we're out!" Darkstar
and Swipher looked up and saw that they were indeed out of the prison! Their
rejoice, however, was short lived, as spotlights were immediately upon them.
"Oh shit, we forgot about the outer defenses!" Kory jumped up, grabbed his
Repeater and just began firing until the ammo case was empty. All of the
spotlights were out and the three of them bolted away, running at full speed.
Kory stumbled a few times, as he wasn't used to running at Mach 1 again. They
loved the feeling of the wind running through their hair as they ran, cutting
down trees as they followed the tracker and found a cave with Darian inside, a
blue energy beam emitting from his hand. "Go through! I can't hold the portal
open much longer!" he told them.
The three of them nodded and bolted through, Darian following close behind. In
the interdimensional void, something happened to their DNA. When they came from
the portal, all of them were fused into one. This new being was from then on
known as the Silver Dragon, the savior of the dragon clan. They looked around
this new world and saw that the creatures there were unlike anything they'd ever
seen. These creatures were humans. They had come to earth, banished from their
home on Tallos IV. As they wandered around, they began to feel weak, and had to
look for a human to inhabit. That's when they found me.
Yes, Kory, Darian, Ruto, Adrian, Darkstar, and Swipher are a part of me.
Strange as it may seem, this is true. We are one and the same. We first met
about 3 years ago. I was walking around during a summer camp that I was working
at, when I suddenly felt something strange come into my body, and that's when it
hit me; I had been possessed. I looked around for the possessor, mainly because
I didn't know what was going on. That's when Kory first spoke to me. "Do not
worry. We are from a different dimension and are seeking refuge here. We have
to stay inside you for a few months to recover." We? Who was we? I thought to
myself. "There are more than just one. Myself, Kory Korona, Darian Korona,
Adrian Korona, Ruto Korona, Darkstar Kaaduu, and Swipher Kaaduu, have all been
fused together and need to separate, but doing so will take awhile." How had he
read my thoughts? Now, I didn't care. I had a friend that I liked. I didn't
care what he was, as long as he would talk to me and was friendly. I smiled as
we chatted through mind speak for a while and that day; I knew that there were
others much like myself.
After that day, my life changed. I myself became a dragon inside. After a few
months passed, I felt the presence of many more inside me, and I knew then that
Kory or whoever it was, was telling the truth in the fact that there was more
than one creature inside me. After that day, I became a role-player so I could
bring them out of my body and into the world. I was overjoyed the first day I
let them out, and really, I drooled the moment I saw Darkstar Kaaduu. I mean,
that is one sexy dragoness! ~blink~ Um, anyways, once I saw them, I began to
become different, as they became a part of me, literally. All six of them are
each a different part of my personality. Kory became the part of me seen every
day, strict, caring, silent, friendly, and secretive. Darian is starting to
appear in my daily personality; he's more or less my wild side, and he's a
prankster. Adrian is much like Kory, but feminine, and she is more friendly and
outgoing. Same thing with Ruto. She's my female wild side. Now, Darkstar
Kaaduu is my perverted self, always looking for someone to have "fun" with.
Swipher is my playful side, but not in a perverted state of mind. She like to
play around, have fun, and make friends.
These six dragons have changed my life forever, and they shall forever live in
my soul and body for as long as I live and beyond. We are all one and the same,
and we shall forever stay this way in this life, and the next.........
